Ahmad secured 18,526 votes while PTI candidate Mehar Wajid Azeem came in second with 18,074 votes.
LAHORE: Mian Marghoob Ahmad of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) won the seat in PP-150 Lahore XIV according to unofficial results of the recount, Express News reported on Wednesday.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-insaaf (PTI) has rejected the results of the recount in this constituency yet again, despite the fact that Returning Officer, Javed Iqbal Warraich supervised the recount in the presence of the two candidates.
Ahmad secured 18,526 votes while PTI candidate Mehar Wajid Azeem came in second with 18,074 votes.
After a neck-and-neck contest in the August 22 by-elections, PML-N's Ahmad was declared the winner with a close margin of 374 votes from the runners up, PTI's Azeem.
Azeem challenged the result in the courts, alleging irregularities at some polling stations.
The Election Commission later ordered a recount on August 29.
PTI had alleged that rigging had taken place during by-elections held on August 22.
A single dubious ballot could cast doubt on the credibility of an election, says PTI candidate.
Acting CEC Justice Tassaduq Hussain Jilani had taken suo moto notice of the protests and summoned all the candidates.
And what now, tch, tch, tch!
Now Imran Khan and his fans will go from cursing the election commission to cursing the voters and calling them stupid.
LOL… Shame on PTI yaar… what are their excuses now?? please PTI start work for the country and people and come out of Fairy Tales and sweet dreams. Shame on IK for wasting time and money of the country on recounting of the poll. Now PTI and IK owe and APOLOGY to PMLN.
LOL, this is a farce.
18,526 – 18,074 = 452 votes PMLN won by. And the number of rejected votes = 452? Does that mean if those votes werent rejected, it would be a tie?
Its about time Imran Khan abandon his rigging claims and start working. We've had enough of these rigging accusations. Pml n was and still is the most popular party in Pakistan. Accept it, the sooner the better.
of course it does. how utterly predictable. perhaps they should turn their attention towards running KP now that their allegations have proved false yet again.
You will never win if you never accept you defeat!
PTI should accept the defeat in PP-150 Lahore against PML-N. They had demanded vote recount and are proved to lost again. Hope that they will not protest now.
"Bags of ballet papers from 25 polling stations were missing and found 3 days later".
Atleast 40 out of 147 polling stations PP150 don't have stamps and signatures of polling staff on ballot papers,is this a fair election?
I am sure now PTI will demand re-election. They don't know how to accept defeat with honor yet. One can hope they will learn in the process.
They lost again? Sharamnak indeed!
I am very disappointed with the way IK has acted after the election. Where is the sportsmans spirit? He has also started lieing blatantly. After NA71 election he said how come 80% votes can be polled whereas only 45% were polled.
I believe PTI lost this seat twice. The impact on the PTI's reputation is also double folded. As expected, they will and should continue their hue and cry, if they stop doing that than as an ordinary Pakistani I have misunderstood that.
Even if the rejected votes were added to PTI, they would have won with only 2 VOTES, but they are spoiled kids, who cannot accept defeat whole heartily………..
To continue working with old salary.
quite ironic – the difference of votes is 452 (18,526 vs 18,074) while the votes rejected were 452 as well. A strange coincidence but i am not alluding to anything, could be just a coincidence!!
First PTI blamed that no stamp votes has also been casted but now they said that they may won with the rejected votes. Isn't this the dual statement?
Now IK should come himself and count all votes by his own hands, and add all rejected votes to PTI candidate's tally. And after that curse the voters of PP150, because the rejected the tabdili, which is very much visible in KPK.
PTI trolls again blame people of punjab for every wrong this nation faces.
@Hopeful: and what makes you think rejected votes were for PTI… stop the drama , pleaseeeee its a humble request..!!!
On May 11, 2013 general election, Imran Khan was very much hopeful that PTI will sweep in all over Pakistan, but this did not happened and PML(N) won the general election.
It was a matter of over confidence, but the reality is far from imagination.
It is good that PTI lost. Now its time to raise energy prices!!
Now IK should apologise as he said before the recount…..
Those votes are rejected, where a stamp overlaps more than one party sign. furthermore, some times, voters dont stamp the ballot paper at all. These votes are rejected, once both candidates agree that it is impossible to determine, in whose favour votes have been casted. So point to be be noted is that rejected votes are those votes, which are approved by both parties as rejected.
A big round of applause for those who still think all 452 rejected votes were cast in favor of PTI :) Guys please!
What a landslide victory for the N League!!!! Sharif should be ashamed of winning by this margin. It speaks volume of things to come in future.
correction. Most popular party in one province only.
No international team is coming to Pakistan , so let's play " rigging rigging " or shall I say " dhandli dhanli ".
The glaring fact that the lead of PMLN candidate has further increased in recount is a testament that PMLN is the most popular political party of Pakistan and PTI is nothing more than a cry baby!!
PTI's candidate must apologize the public for wasting precious time of the people/media and wasting taxpayer's money. The entire cost of recounting must be recovered from the losers.
This is how much of a bad luck IK is these days that whatever he touches turns into dust.
For a sportsman, Khan sb has remarkably little in terms of sportsman spirit. This is now reflected in PTIs approach to problems and setbacks. Khan sb is basically a mediocre leader masquerading as a founding father.
Yeah, founding father of Republic of Facebook that is.
@Raveem Zafar Choudhry: "Atleast 40 out of 147 polling stations PP150 don't have stamps and signatures of polling staff on ballot papers,is this a fair election?
Without IK, Sharif brothers would treat the PK people as complete trash but his pressure has forced them onto a better road. If you believe me just look at their history.
why PTI does not accept defeat and gets down to work ? Recounts, dharnas are more important issues than the ones faced by common Pakistanis ? educated voters of PTI would start leaving it very soon, if PTI persists with this policy.
Imran Khan thinks every election is the replay of the 1992 WC final. If he doesn't win, he thinks it is a fraud. Just crazy.
He is a sportsman but with no spirit.Untill and unless PTI does not win there is always rigging.
They have nothing to do expect dharnas for dhandli.This party has become a dharna party.IK is fooling it's supporters.
Even they are not entitled to old salary.
25 Polling stations bags was missing for 3 days,at that time Marghoob became winner but officially done by ECP later.well done Khadim-e- Alla no one can beat your intelligence.even you u grab wives of high officials but still people like you.keep it up.
Your penultimate post smacks of jealousy of our Khadim-e-Alla. You keep up with such ludicrous comments that personify the myopic mindset of a quintessential troll who is seething with jealousy.


loving students. serving churches. impacting lives.
We will be staying at First Presbyterian Church in Danville, VA. The church is air-conditioned, and everyone needs to bring twin-size air mattresses.
On the Danville trip the Salvation Army will be our primary ministry partner. We will work with them in their thrift store, their summer meal program where they provide 1200 + meals for school age kids each week. We will also work with The Community Garden of Grace and Main Ministry. (www.graceandmain.org). We are also in the process of exploring other service opportunities such as yard work and painting projects.
If drops are made before the deadline of March 4, 2019 (noon EST), the deposit per space is transferred to your balance due.
If drops are made after March 4, 2019, the deposit per space is forfeited.
Your FINAL PAYMENT is due on June 1, 2019.
What kind of projects do we work on with Son Servants?
Every trip has a construction element. The types of projects will vary from repairing homes to building foundations to painting to yard clean-up. The majority of our trips also have a children's program for the local children. Please check for specifics on the Trip Details web pages. A major aspect of all Son Servants trips is to interact as much as possible with the people with whom we are working. We really are there to show God's love to the people in the communities in which we serving.
What does the cost include? What is not included?
Cost includes housing, construction materials, meals, program, and a t-shirt for each participant. Transportation to and from camp is not included. Additionally, on domestic trips you will be responsible for transportation costs during the week (i.e. driving to work sites, etc.). At some camps there is a free day or planned recreational outing for which you are responsible. Please check your handbook for details about this. Your students will probably want to bring spending money – recommended amounts are in the handbook for your trip.
What age students can come to Son Servants trips?
Trips listed as "Middle School" are intended for students in grades 6-8. We leave the decision about bringing rising 6th and graduated 8th to the discretion of the youth leader. Similarly, "High School" trips are for grades 9-12, with the decision to bring rising 9th and graduated 12th left to the youth leader. Remember, more than age, maturity is an important consideration. (For example, consider if your rising 6th graders have been away from home before.) Remember, Son Servants is counselor-centered, meaning you are responsible for your students at all times.
What is the recommended counselor/ student ratio?
We recommend that you bring one counselor for every six students. Obviously, if you have female students, you need a female counselor and vice versa.
You may register online here. If you already have an account, please enter that information. If you do not, please click the link next to the statement "or, if you are not sure…" to figure out what your user name and password should be. (All user names and passwords are created using a standard formula.) You may also register by sending a deposit of $100/space along with a note including your contact information and the camp you would like to register for to: YCM 1200 Mountain Creek Rd, Suite 130 Chattanooga, TN 37405.
When should we arrive and depart?
Domestic Trips – Please arrive between 3:00 and 5:00 on the first day of camp. We ask groups to leave by 9:00 AM on the final day, to ensure that our staff has time to get to their next location. International Trips – We would encourage groups to arrive as early as they can. However, specific details vary according to the location. For example, on the Jamaica trip, camp is a 3-4 hour drive from the airport, so late flights result in very late arrivals at camp. As far as departures, again this varies depending on how far the camp location is from the airport. Please call the Son Servants office for more specific information.
Do counselors / chaperones have to pay?
Yes, counselors pay the same amount as students.
Will medical treatment be readily accessible on these trips?
All of our locations are within a reasonable driving distance of a medical facility. In addition, we try to have a doctor or nurse as part of every camp staff.
Do we need to bring linens, sleeping bags, air mattresses, etc?
Every camp requires that you bring your own linens or sleeping bag. The need for air mattresses varies from camp to camp, so please check the Trip Details section of the website or the handbook for your camp.
Can we print the med forms off from the website?
All Son Servant medical forms should be downloaded from the website (see Documents & Forms above). Please give each participant 2 medical forms. The medical forms for participants under the age of 18 must be notarized; however, everyone, both student and adult, needs to complete the form.
Do I really have to have each participant fill out two medical forms?
Yes, we need two original forms for each participant. One will be given to the Son Servants staff to keep on file and one will be for you to keep during your travel.
Do we really have to have the forms notarized?
Yes, for all students under the age of 18. Please have the notary stamp both copies of the med form.
Do both parents have to sign the medical form?
On international trips this is especially important. We have had groups detained because only one parent had signed the form. Don't ask us how the airport authorities know that two parents exist, but they do…they know these things.
Do I need to send my medical forms to the office before camp?
No. Please bring both copies with you to camp. One will be given to the staff and one you will keep for your return travel.
Our policy is that all deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable.
But what if I need to drop spaces after my initial registration? Do I lose that deposit money?
There are two drop dates that are important to remember. The first drop date is March 1 for all trips. If you notify us of dropped spaces prior to 5 PM on this date, the deposits for those spaces will be applied to your balance. After this date, you will lose the deposit for any dropped spaces. The second drop date is 60 days prior to the first day of your event. After this date, your church is held responsible for the full cost of each dropped space.
The balance is split into two payments. The first payment (50% of balance) is March 1 for all trips. The final payment for all June events is due May 1 and for all July events it is due June 1.
We will accept registrations on a first come, first serve basis until the camp is full. Because many of our camps are small, we recommend registering in the fall to ensure your group will be able to attend the event of your choice.
What are the transportation requirements for domestic trips?
Because each vehicle is used to transport workgroups to and from the worksite, each vehicle you bring must seat at least 10 passengers (such as a 12 passenger van). If you have 6 people, you will still need one vehicle that seats at least 10 passengers. If you have 15 people, you will need two vehicles that seat at least 10 passengers. Our insurance regulations do not allow us to use 15 passenger vans unless the back seat is removed. Therefore, we recommend and use 12 passenger vans.
As a group leader, what extra things do I need to bring?
Particularly on the domestic trips, we ask each church group to bring certain tools and other items (i.e. coolers) for use during the week. For a complete list, check the adult handbook for your trip.
Are there any items my students shouldn't bring?
Please be certain that your students do not bring electronic devices such as iPods, hair dryers, electric razors, etc. We understand that the majority of students now use their cell phones for a camera, alarm, flashlight, etc. We ask that all students and leaders limit their cell phone usage as much as possible, especially on the work site, during quiet time and at worship. There are several really good reasons for this. One, we want the students to experience a different way of life for these days on the mission trip – a life away from all the "noise" and distractions that fill our lives. Secondly, iPods and cell phones especially can cause students to isolate themselves from the rest of the camp and miss out on community building and fellowship. Lastly, these items are the surest to get broken, lost or stolen in a setting like this.

Chopras to host Priyanka, Nick's engagement
Buzz on the engagement of Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas went very strong. Apparently, the family of the former is ready to host a big party to announce the same
Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas
It all started at the Met Gala 2017 , where Priyanka Chopra met the singer Nick Jonas. Their welcoming pictures of the gala have made headlines, and rumors about the fact that they were a unit have begun to make the rounds. The languages have started to shake that the girl of the 'desi & # 39; she is engaged to Jonas, and her family is ready to host a big party for it very soon.
Apparently, the Priyanka family is ready to host the bash. A source told E Online that Jonas and his family are traveling to India this weekend to attend the engagement party.
"It is traditional for them to meet before marriage and Priyanka's family has insisted on hosting the Jonas family in their country, and wants everything to be traditional to respect the values of his family and certainly an Indian wedding", source.
He also said that the couple is enthusiastic that everyone can meet and celebrate. "Everything is very reserved but the guests should start from tomorrow, all the plans are moving quickly and Priyanka and Nick do not want to have a long engagement", added the source
. The news of the couple's engagement came after Bollywood director Ali Abbas Zafar said that Priyanka has renounced his upcoming film "Bharat" in the "Nick" of the time, due to a "special reason".
Previously, in two cases, Priyanka saw himself hiding his ring from the paparazzi.
Priyanka and Nick, who reportedly have a two-month date, were spotted together at the Met Gala 2017.
The speculation about their relationship broke loose after the couple met. First, Chopra met Jonas's family at his cousin's wedding in New Jersey, after which Nick traveled to India to meet Chopra's mother.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This is it. The real deal. This isn't some retail powder or diluted product. This is 100% real predator urine. Some will use this to trap and others have used it as a repellent. Fresh, clean, clear urine that our customers have used with great success for over 15 years. Collected and ran through a multi-stage filtering system to remove all foreign particles(food/droppings) resulting in the cleanest urine available. Stored in cool, dark conditions to maintain it's freshness. While this urine will darken with age it will not turn black or sour like many urines that have droppings or food particles in them.
RATE OF APPLICATION: This is completely dependent on the use. As a repellent, apply it in much the same manner as the animal would when marking it's territory.

Phnom Penh Post - The use and abuse of culture
The use and abuse of culture
Nicolas Agostini | Publication date 21 May 2013 | 02:12 ICT
Nicolas Agostini
Last April, a conference organised at the French Institute in Phnom Penh focused on the dynamics of the Khmer Diaspora and challenges professionals of the second generation face when coming back to Cambodia to live and work.
High-level officials took part in the panel discussion. As the debate drew to a close, a young French-Cambodian woman complained about corruption and mismanagement of public affairs.
As she took the floor for the second time, an adviser to the Royal Government of Cambodia – an "Excellency", as other panelists would refer to him – basically told her to shut up as it was "not part of Cambodian culture" to criticise rulers too openly.
This event epitomises a behaviour and way of reasoning that plague today's Cambodia – I refer to the manipulation of culture. The central question it raises is: Who speaks on behalf of culture?
That is, who has authority to define culture – what it includes and what values, behaviours or social relationships are part of it?
As Sudanese scholar Abdullahi An-Na'im put it, usually "powerful groups and individuals tend to monopolise the interpretation of cultural norms and manipulate them to their own advantage". This holds true for Cambodia.
Government officials tend to think they are the only ones authorised to define what Cambodian culture is and who behaves in a "Khmer" or "non-Khmer" way.
By doing so, they essentialise culture, ie, they regard it as a thing – monolithic, homogeneous and unchanging.
The essentialisation of culture is a powerful weapon. In the Cambodian context, it allows rulers and dominant groups to brand those who speak up against abuses of power and impunity, such as the Boeung Kak women, grassroots associations and countless indigenous communities whose land and natural resources rights are violated as "non-Khmer" or "unworthy-of-being-Khmer", and trivialise their movements.
The reality is, consensus is a myth. There are, and have always been, critical voices within Khmer society and culture.
And there are struggles, including on the very definition of "Khmerness".
A prominent example is the increasing number of Cambodian women who reject the influence of the Chbab Srey (Female Code) and the stereotyped roles it assigns to women ("Obey your husband"; "Never complain").
To be sure, Cambodia has its own culture and traditions, which are distinct from, say, Sweden's or Morocco's. However, just like any culture, Cambodian culture is not static.
It also has a history, ie, its content, meaning and boundaries have changed, and will continue to change, over time.
The Chbab Srey, for instance, originates in the 19th century. One can argue it is an example of what historians refer to as "the invention of tradition".
Cambodian culture is in constant movement and redefinition, as a result of social interactions, power struggles and societal needs. In short, it is a socio-historical construction.
Lack of public participation in matters affecting the everyday lives of Cambodian citizens, such as development policies, is thus the result of a specific history, as is the ability of the current rulers to stifle critical voices and suppress dissent.
We should not take for granted that these power relationships are essentially part, or a result of, Cambodian culture.
Discourses that brand public criticism of rulers as foreign impositions or "un-Khmer" behaviour are but cynical attempts to preserve oppressive hierarchies and delegitimise dissenting voices.
These discourses (once labeled "Asian values") are weapons that the current rulers use to reject legitimate grievances of marginalised groups; for instance, a more equitable economic growth.
By voicing their concerns and openly criticising the authorities, the Boeung Kak women not only challenge the Chbab Srey; they undermine the interpretation of Khmer culture that rulers propagate.
Marginalised Cambodian groups have a right to speak out and put forward alternative interpretations of Khmer culture – that could include public criticism of government officials and the policies they pursue.
Civil society and other groups should keep this in mind and systematically endeavour to deconstruct the narrative of Cambodian culture that the current rulers try to impose.

To stop and look afresh and give space to rediscovering the human trace in our environment provokes wonder and enchantment. A partnership is born between the human and natural environment.
Sandy Curry completed her BA in Fine Arts in 2006 and her MA in 2009, both at UCCA Farnham. Awarded the Winsor and Newton Watts Painting Prize in 2006 and the Fenton Arts Trust Award, Sandy became Artist in Residence at the Watts Gallery in 2006/7. In 2009 she was awarded the Michael Varah's Memorial Fund Artist in Residence at HMP Send Woman's' Prison. Working with communities and marginalised groups has been a pivotal point in Sandy's practice and has encouraged a new exploratory and speculative approach. The use of tar in her work, a contaminant, on which the homeless sleep and with which we interact every day, creates a vital and profound conversation between the human spirit and the environment in order to change perceptions. Sandy explores sensuality, hazardous materials and beauty. Her enigmatic paintings use oils, tar and gloss enticing the viewers with ephemeral toxic beauty.
Free Spirit is a display of work by Sandy Curry, Watts Gallery Michael Varah Artist in Residence at HMP Send 2008 – 2013. Shown at Gallery Different, it includes work by women artists from HMP Send that Sandy worked with whilst she was Artist in Residence and reflects the journey and impact of experience on both Sandy's work and that of the women she supported.
The Big Issues Project is kindly supported by KPMG Foundation, The Hazlehurst Trust, Women in Private Equity Second Chance Scheme, The Michael Varah Memorial Fund, The Community Foundation for Surrey Electronic Arts Youth Fund, Billmeir Charitable Trust, The Big Give, The Lake House Charitable Foundation and the many individual donors. Special thanks to Karina Phillips, Director of Gallery Different, for hosting the Big Issues exhibition and to Cindy Lass for hosting the reception.
This exhibition places together works by a number of contemporary artists (all women), in order to investigate the strategies they've employed in their work to forestall possibilities, however remote. Artists include Catherine Bertola, Aliki Braine, Sandy Curry, Tacita Dean, Katy Dove, Tracey Emin, Nogah Engler, Emily Floyd, Abigail Lane, Sarah Lucas, Adriana Molder, Cornelia Parker, Luisa Roa, Sarah Strang, Catharina van Eetvelde, Gillian Wearing and Carey Young.

Maine wind farm generating power, cash
A new 19-turbine wind farm with capacity to supply the equivalent energy needs of 18,000 homes has been completed.
EASTBROOK – A new 19-turbine wind farm with capacity to supply the equivalent energy needs of 18,000 homes has been completed, the developer said Wednesday.
Boston-based First Wind said its 34-megawatt Bull Hill project, on the ridges of Bull Hill and Heifer Hill about 15 miles northeast of Ellsworth, has begun generating electricity.
With the windmills making power, the county and the small town of Eastbrook will receive an average aggregate tax payment of about $100,000 per year for the next two decades, plus $240,000 a year in community benefit payments, for a total of more than $7 million, First Wind said.
First Wind also is providing a communication tower to be used by county public safety and rescue departments.
The utility NSTAR and First Wind have a 15-year fixed-price contract for the project's electricity. That will help NSTAR meet its goal of providing renewable energy to homes and businesses as outlined by Massachusetts law that encourages energy efficiency, the company said.
"We're looking forward to delivering clean, renewable wind energy from this project to our customers for years to come," said James Daly, vice president of energy supply for Northeast Utilities, parent company of NSTAR.
The wind farm employs about 10 full-time workers, some of whom were enrolled in the wind-technology course at Northern Maine Community College, said First Wind spokesman John Lamontagne.

By God's Grace, Joseph, Francis and I have completed our seven-country overland mission, ministering throughout Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Swaziland, Botswana and South Africa. We thank God that during our 14 000 kilometres mission, we did not even have one puncture or any mechanical breakdowns. We only had a few minor mechanical problems and none of us were seriously ill or injured. We left Cape Town not knowing if we would have enough funds to complete this mission, but God was gracious to answer our prayers and provided for all our needs. Thank you to all those who prayed for and supported us
Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You?" Psalm 85:6
This year is the 500th anniversary of the Reformation started by Dr. Martin Luther. We planned the Africa Reformation Overland Mission to call people back to the Bible. It was my privilege to be apart of this mission team.
Zambia
We travelled up to Zambia through Namibia and upon our entrance into Zambia we experienced the worst potholed roads ever. Needless to say – traveling in Zambia was not the most pleasant, and there were countless police-stops with corrupt people looking for bribes. We held a Reformation Conference in Lusaka (the capital of Zambia) at the Justo Mwale University of Theology. Pastors from all over Zambia and even other countries like Malawi and Zimbabwe attended. They were enthusiastic about Reformation and Revival. They were eager to learn and had lots of questions about questionable practices in the Churches in Zambia.
DIED IN THE SERVICE OF CHRIST
Anthony Paul Duncan
(06.02.66 – 14.12.94)
Soldier, game ranger and missionary
In the early morning mist of 14 December 1994, Frontline Fellowship field worker, Anthony Duncan, was killed in a head-on collision
Anthony was returning back from a long, difficult and dangerous mission to five countries. Anthony had been part of a Frontline Fellowship mission team that had successfully delivered a ton of desperately needed medicines and Bibles into war-torn Angola. Despite an ambush and arrest at the Namibian border with Angola, which maintained a shoot-on sight policy to enforce the United Nations blockade on Unita-controlled "Free Angola", the team had succeeded in delivering the desperately needed medicines and Bibles to the suffering Christians in Angola. They were on the way back from this eventful trip, which had also included the same vehicle rolling down an embankment and crushing the canopy on the way up to Zambia.

Balloon and Sky Lantern Release Policy
In recent years outdoor balloon and sky lantern releases have become a more common event at summer fairs, fundraising events, opening of new stores, or part of commemorative and celebratory occasions. However, what is less known is what happens once these items have been released and the potentially harmful consequences for wildlife and property that can occur as a result of this form of celebration.
The Marine Conservation Society (MSC) – an internationally recognised charity for the protection of seas, shores and wildlife has produced a thorough and detailed Pollution Policy and Position statement on Balloons and Sky Lanterns, asking UK Local Authorities to recognise balloons and sky lanterns as a form of littering and to ban all outdoor releases. This stance is actively supported by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA), the National Farmers Union (NFU) and many other public organisations.
The objective of this policy is to discourage and, if possible, to prevent the intentional outdoor release of balloons and sky lanterns as an act of littering in the parish of Gillingham and to prohibit releases from Town Council owned land and premises.
This policy covers the release of balloons and lanterns within the parish of Gillingham and the Town Council's position in relation to the release of balloons and lanterns from Town Council owned land and premises.
The policy covers all types of balloon and lantern materials. The main types of balloon are latex (rubber) and foil (also known as Mylar) and can include other materials. Latex balloons, whilst biodegradable, may persist in the environment for several years and sky lanterns typically contain a metal frame.
Gillingham Town Council prohibits the release of balloons and lanterns from Town Council owned land and buildings. This applies to Town Council run events and events run by third parties.
The Town Council considers the release of balloons and lanterns from any land or buildings as potential littering and will act, when advised to do so, under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005, where appropriate.
Where balloons and lanterns are released intentionally outdoors and are not disposed of responsibly, they litter the environment and could be considered as a potential offence under the Environment Protection Act 1990 and the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005. Where the Town Council receives evidence of littering through the release of balloons and lanterns, which are not disposed of responsibly, the Town Council may consider exercising its powers under the appropriate legislation.
Permitted Releases
Piloted hot air balloons are not covered by this policy. Helium balloons may also be permitted when used for research purposes, for example, weather balloons, if supporting evidence is provided, identifying any risk and/or any hazards to the environment and with any appropriate mitigation.
Monitoring, Assessment and Review
The Town Council will inform event organisers of the Balloon and Sky Lantern Release Policy by means of including relevant information within booking forms and other promotional material.
The Town Council will include details of this policy within any new letting agreement or leases of land/buildings where permitted events take place.
The Town Council will promote the awareness of the potential harm of balloon and sky lantern releases, where appropriate.

Public Seat Donation Policy
One way to remember the life of a friend or loved one after their death is through the arrangement of a long-standing tribute, a reminder they are not forgotten.
A memorial seat has always been a popular choice. You can visit the memorial seat at a loved one's favourite viewpoint, either in a park or some other place where they liked to relax and let time pass by.
Alternatively, the donation of a seat could also be made to promote a business or organisation.
Gillingham Town Council is currently seeking offers of sponsorship to provide public seating.
1. Public Seating – General Areas of Public Open Space with good access including the Town's Cemetery and Garden of Remembrance.
Only seating which has been described as public seating and manufactured in a traditional style made of FSC® certified hardwood, similar to the photograph below, will be considered. Seats manufactured for the domestic market are not suitable.
This type of seat is comfortable, practical and durable and can be easily maintained. It is suitable for areas where there is good access. Seat height should be between 450mm and 475mm with arm rests placed approximately 200m above seat height. This type of seating can be used by those who require more conventional seating. The style of seat specified is available in different lengths with a starting price of around £600. The Town Council is unable to recommend a specific supplier; however, more information can be obtained from the following companies:

These items of furniture are usually made in-house by our own grounds staff using pressure treated timbers. This type of seating is not Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) compliant. It is possible to donate a seat of this type for £150 but is not suitable for a dedication plaque to be affixed.
3. Public Seating – Hardings Park (the Recreation Ground), Hardings Lane
Contemporary style seating has been chosen for this site using steel for durability. The exact style of this seating has not been agreed; however, it is likely that each seat will cost £1k to supply and install.
4. Plaques and Promotions
Seats can be dedicated, at the donors expense, with an engraved plaque. If a dedication becomes vandalised or goes missing it will be the responsibility of the person who donated the seat to make good or replace. The wording of the dedication will need to be approved by the Town Council to ensure that it is appropriate for a public place.
5. Delivery and Installation
The seat will need to be delivered to the Town Council's Workshop and will be installed by the Town Council's grounds staff on a concrete base. The cost of providing a concrete base and installation of the seat is £150.
6. Maintenance of Public Seating
Donated seats will only be maintained by the Town Council for a period of ten years. After ten years the donor will be contacted to renew their donation by way of a new seat or to have the existing seat refurbished for a further five year period. If no contact is made after six months the seat will become the property of the Town Council. All public seating is covered under the Town Council's insurance policy. If a seat is deemed in a dangerous state of repair it will be removed immediately for health and safety reasons and where possible the donor contacted.

GILLINGHAM TOWN COUNCIL TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT POLICY 2019 – 2020
Tree Planting & Donation Policy
One way to remember the life of a friend or loved one is through the arrangement of a longstanding tribute, a reminder that they are not forgotten and the donation of a tree is often considered on these occasions.
Donating a tree may also be considered to commemorate an anniversary or an historical event.
Gillingham Town Council is currently seeking offers of sponsorship for tree planting.
1. Types and size of trees suitable for donating
Gillingham was once part of The Royal Forest but over the centuries the area has become deforested and evidence of its once Royal connections are almost erased. Gillingham sits on Kimmeridge clay and therefore careful consideration should be given to the choice of tree. Below is a list of trees recommended by the Tree and Landscape officer at North Dorset District Council.
Medium to large (statement) trees:
London Plane
Indian Horse Chestnut
Small to medium sized trees:
Field Maple
Note: Other specimen trees will be considered following professional advice regarding its suitability and proposed location.
The size of planting stock should be either:
A standard tree (8-10cm stem circumference at 1m, 250-300cm in overall height, with a clear stem of 175-200cm as defined by BS 3936:1992, Part 1 – Specification for trees and shrubs, or
A light standard tree (6-8cm stem circumference at 1m, 250-300cm in overall height, with a clear stem of 150-175cm as defined by BS 3926:1992 Part 1 – specification for trees and shrubs.
The cost of a tree varies depending on the size, type and supplier, but on average would cost around £40-£70.
2. Location of donated trees
The location of the tree will very much depend on the soil conditions, nearby water courses, proximity to buildings, cars etc. Trees should require minimal management (for example, trees located next to footpaths/highways should be of a more upright form). If more than one tree is being donated then it is essential that they are given adequate space to prevent from thinning at a later stage.
A tree planting project has been started on the public open space at Upper Lodden Meadow off King John Road to celebrate the 500 anniversary of Gillingham School. The project commenced in 2016 with the planting of 10 oak saplings with the intention of providing an avenue of trees along the tarred path, which may in future link to other areas in and around Gillingham. More trees are required to complete the project.
Over the years Gillingham has lost many of its trees due to the housing development. Tree planting will greatly improve the appearance of the area and restore some of the lost heritage of Gillingham as a Royal Forest, famous for its hunting and the production of quality timber for the construction of buildings and ships.
3. On-going maintenance donated trees
It will be necessary, especially in the first year of planting, for donated trees to be kept well watered. This initial task will be the responsibility of the person(s) donating the tree(s) unless alternative arrangements have been made.
Donated trees will be the responsibility of the Town Council for the lifetime of the tree and will be included in the Town Council's Tree Condition Survey and Risk Management Plan. If a tree fails, for whatever reason, it will be removed and the original donors contacted, where possible. The Town Council will not replace trees which fail.
4. Plaques and inscriptions
Trees may be dedicated with an engraved plaque, at the expense of the donor. If the dedication plaque becomes vandalised or goes missing it will be the responsibility of the donor to make good or replace. Prior to the erection of a dedication plaque, the wording will need to be approved by the Town Council to ensure that it is suitable for a public place.
5. Delivery and planting
Arrangements can be made for the tree to be delivered to the Town Council's Workshop and planted by the Town Council's grounds staff at the location agreed by all parties. If a metal tree guard is required then this expense will need to be included with the donated tree. Galvanised metal guards vary in price but are generally in the region of £70 to £100.

Q: Getting multiple table names from a single MYSQLi query How can one get the table names from such a query using PHP and the query is run with MYSQLi
Example
SELECT table1.field1, table1.field2, table2.field3, table2.field4 FROM table1,table2

Result
array(table1,table2)

This is the code Im using but it only get the name of the first table
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {
    $numOfFields = mysqli_num_fields($result);

    for ($i = 0; $i < $numOfFields; ++$i) {
         $tableinfo = mysqli_fetch_field_direct($result, 1);
         var_dump($tableinfo->orgtable);
    }
}

Thanks in advance Im not so good at PHP
Thanks

A: You have to remove the hard coded number 1 with the variable $i, like this way:
Try it:
for ($i = 0; $i < $numOfFields; ++$i) {
         $tableinfo = mysqli_fetch_field_direct($result, $i);
         var_dump($tableinfo->orgtable);
}

The right to freedom of expression is not a concession by the States but a fundamental right
Preambule of the Declaration of Principles on Freedom of Expression
Article 13 - American Convention on Human Rights
Declaration of Principles on Freedom of Expression
IACHR and the Office of the Special Rapporteur express concern for retaliation actions of the Cuban State against an organization dedicated to defending freedom of expression<?xml:namespace prefix = "o" ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Washington, D.C. – The Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) and its Office of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression express their concern over the persistence of acts of harassment and retaliation against the members of the non-governmental organization Cubalex (Legal Information Center) by State agents. These episodes occurred following the presentation of a report prepared by Cubalex on the situation of freedom of expression in Cuba and presented to the United Nations. The IACHR and its Office of the Special Rapporteur urge the Cuban State to cease these actions and effectively ensure that the members of this organization are able to exercise their rights and defend human rights free from undue interference.
According to the information received, on September 23, the Cubalex headquarters in Havana was subject to a warrantless search by police and State security officers, and work property was seized as part of an alleged tax investigation into unlawful financial activities. Attorney Laritza Diversent, the Center's Director, stated to a Cuban media outlet that the real reasons for the operation were "the official response to a report on the situation of freedom of expression in Cuba" that Cubalex had presented weeks earlier to the Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of the Right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression at UN headquarters in Geneva.
According to reports, the mobile phone service of the Cubalex members who were at the office, their relatives' mobile phone service, and the organization's landline were all cut off by the government an hour before the raid.
During the search of the premises, five computers were confiscated, including a server and four laptops, as well as three printers, several mobile telephones, security cameras, and confidential documents and records on various cases handled by the office. In addition, the members of Cubalex were reportedly subjected to questioning and five of them—four men and one woman—were forced to remove their clothing for a strip search. The members of the organization were reportedly denied food for 13 hours. It was also reported that two members of the team were arrested. Activist Dayán Alfredo Pérez Noriega was released, while independent attorney Julio Alfredo Ferrer Tamayo is still being held in a Havana prison.
The search of Cubalex's headquarters reportedly followed the arbitrary detention of Laritza Diversent upon her return from Geneva on August 12, 2016, and other similar previous arrests.
Laritza Diversent and other Cubalex members are the beneficiaries of precautionary measures issued by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which on April 22, 2015 requested that the Cuban State take the necessary measures to safeguard their lives and ensure their humane treatment. In addition, the IACHR asked Cuba to allow them to work without being subject to harassment.
The Commission and the Office of the Special Rapporteur recall that individuals who form an association have the right to hold opinions and disseminate information of all kinds, including political, without interference from the State and without being limited by borders. Indeed, the protection of the freedom of individuals to disclose information and collectively promote their interests and demands is one of the objectives of the freedom of association, without which it would lose its effectiveness and raison d'être. The Inter-American Court has held that freedom of association is not exhausted with the theoretical acknowledgment of the right to form association, "but rather consists, additionally and inseparably, of the right to use any appropriate means to exercise that freedom."
Additionally, the IACHR and the Office of the Special Rapporteur reiterate that the members of groups, particularly those engaged in human rights defense work, must enjoy broad freedom of expression in relation to their activities and demands, which includes the freedom to criticize the government's policies. If the members of human rights defense organizations are unable to express themselves freely, disseminate information to defend rights, and communicate them to the government and to the community in general, they are deprived of one of the most important lawful means of action and pressure.
The Office of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression was created by the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) to encourage the defense of the right to freedom of thought and expression in the hemisphere, given the fundamental role this right plays in consolidating and developing the democratic system.
A principal, autonomous body of the Organization of American States (OAS), the IACHR derives its mandate from the OAS Charter and the American Convention on Human Rights. The Inter-American Commission has a mandate to promote respect for human rights in the region and acts as a consultative body to the OAS in this area. The Commission is composed of seven independent members who are elected in an individual capacity by the OAS General Assembly and who do not represent their countries of origin or residence.

Brief- The objective of this campaign is to introduce a new fragrance in 2018. The visual personality must be appropriate to the brand and be distinctive – not like anything else in the category.
Implication- We chose Lush Beauty with the new launch of their metamorphosis perfume. In our campaign, we wanted to represent the change between childhood and womanhood in an organic aspect, all by keeping the style and voice of the Lush brand.


Allusion, Identity and. Community in Recent British Writing builds on an eclectic theoretical framework combining insights from literary stylistics and pragmatics, traditional rhetoríc, imagology and recent polítícal and phílosophícal debates about identity in order to show how allusion - literary or otherwise - can play a part in the construction of identity for the sake of self-presentation. Of particular interest is the way allusion may be used as a strategy by outsíders - fictional and real - when seeking to be admitted into different kinds of community, from literary élítes to national polities. Close readings of works by Salman Rushdie, Seamus Heaney, Caryl Phillips, Bridget O?Connor and Zadie Smith demonstrate allusion?s capacity to broker acceptance and generate empathy, to define models of identity and, in some cases, to backfire. By emphasízíng individual autonomy in the process of self-expression, Allusion, Identity and Community in Recent British Writing also redeems the subject from the more repressive régimes of over-deterministic theory, while ultimately claiming that the very difference which necessitates the negotiation of identity through such strategies as the deployment of allusion is also the basic precondition of communication and community building, two activities in which literature is inalienably engaged.
