Mother crushed to death after diving in front of runaway van to protect three of her children
- Shabana Ahmed killed outside academy in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire
- Incident saw mother, 46, try to shield 5, 8, and 10-year-old daughters
- One suffered serious injuries, another was hurt and third was uninjured
- Handbrake believed to have failed on Ford Transit and it rolled down hill
A mother-of-four was crushed to death after diving in front of a runaway van as she tried to protect her three children while they walked home from school.
Shabana Ahmed, 46, is said to have shielded three of her daughters and taken the force of the collision outside the Madina Academy in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, at 3.30pm on Friday.
She was pronounced dead at the scene and her 10-year-old daughter Kiran also suffered serious injuries in the accident, while Mariam, five, was hurt and sister Maria, eight, escaped uninjured.
Tragedy: Shabana Ahmed, 46, is said to have shielded three of her daughters and taken the force of the collision outside the Madina Academy (left, in church) in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, at 3.30pm last Friday
Mrs Ahmed, who also has a daughter in her 20s, was hit by a Ford Transit Connect van which was believed to have been parked for some time on a steep road outside the academy facing uphill.
It is believed the handbrake failed and the van – said to be owned by an electrician – rolled 30 yards backwards down the hill, hitting Mrs Ahmed and her children near the Chipbox fish and chip shop.
Witnesses said Mrs Ahmed only saw the van at the last second and appeared to shield her girls, taking the full force of the blow herself. She lived only a short distance away with her husband.
It is thought she had just collected her children from Eastborough Junior Infant and Nursery School and was going home to make tea. A local worker called it a 'terrible tragedy and a freak accident'.
The unnamed man said: 'You couldn't re-create what happened if you tried. Shabana was a bubbly, friendly lady who loved her kids. We are all in shock and even grown men were in tears.'
The sound of the impact brought neighbours and passers-by running to help. Two builders working on the house next to Mrs Ahmed's sprinted down the road and an off-duty nurse gave first aid.
Paramedics and doctors were called to the scene but Mrs Ahmed had suffered fatal internal injuries.
The local worker said: 'Shabana was just rushing back from school to cook the builders next door some tea. That's the kind of person she was. She wouldn't have heard the van coming but saw it at the last second and shielded her kids. She probably saved their lives.'
It's believed the builders pulled the van away. The man said: 'I don't know where they got the strength from. The little girl who wasn't injured clung onto one of the builders for two hours. It was awful.'
'She was really popular around here and I really feel for her husband. I have told him whatever he needs there are people round here to help. It's such a tragedy'
Chris Cain, 32, neighbour
Flowers and cards were placed at the spot where she died. One read: 'I will never forget you. You are always in my heart.' Another said: 'Life is so cruel and yesterday you were taken so unfairly.'
Neighbour, father-of-one Chris Cain, 32, who lives with partner Lyndsey, 27, said: 'They were always such a happy family and Shabana was a really generous person. She would always bring food round.
'She was really popular around here and I really feel for her husband. I have told him whatever he needs there are people round here to help. It's such a tragedy.'
Neighbour Fatima Patel, 34, said: 'Shabana was a great mum and loved her kids. It's just so, so sad.'

Saudi Arabia rages against Lebanon
SHAFAQNA – A new report published in The Independent this Thursday read: "Saudi Arabia turns on Lebanon for its unfaithfulness and lack of gratitude after decades of largesse."
Indeed … over the past few days, and too many commentators, politicians and observers' surprise, the kingdom has turned on Lebanon, opting for open threats and belligerence to revenge a political upset.
But what is truly ailing Riyadh … what had officials in Riyadh so outraged that they chose to so publicly smite Lebanon?
Here is how Robert Fisk summarizes the situation: "After pouring billions into rebuilding the country following successive Israeli invasions and air raids, the Saudis find that they cannot prevent the Shia from expressing their fury at Riyadh."
Faced with the Resistance of Hezbollah, and the rising popularity of its movement, Riyadh has grown increasingly restless – fearful it will soon lose complete control of the Levant to individuals whose loyalty is to their country, and not their financial advancement.
Of course, the religious dimension of this latent conflict in between Hezbollah and Saudi Arabia cannot be under-estimated. Standing against the tyranny and intolerance of Wahhabism Hezbollah has offered its religious paradigm: Shia Islam. But not only that … Hezbollah is also home to Lebanese Christians.
Where Saudi Arabia has always strived on sectarianism, and division, Hezbollah has instead presented a cross-sectarian united front, answering intolerance, with inclusion for the sake of national unity.
To cut down the movement back to size Saudi Arabia hsa used the only weapon left at its disposal: slander and political manipulation.
After repeatedly promising to spend £3.2bn on new French weapons for the well-trained but hopelessly under-armed Lebanese army, Saudi Arabia has suddenly declined to fund the project – which was eagerly supported by the US and, for greedier reasons, by Paris. Along with other Gulf states, Riyadh has told its citizens not to visit Lebanon or – if they are already there – to leave. Saudi Airlines is supposedly going to halt all flights to Beirut. Lebanon, according to the Saudis, is a centre of "terror".
Of course Lebanon is NOT a centre of terror – this is the political manipulation. This is the narrative Saudi Arabia is looking to weave, to better deflect away from its own terrorism, and its own guilt; while at the same time preparing for the further demonization of an enemy it can no longer control.
Saudi Arabia it appears has overextended itself – from its adventure in Yemen, to its attempt to spread Wahhabism across Europe and Asia through networks of schools and religious institutions, and of course its funding of Western friendships, could it be the kingdom is running out of breath …and money.
For all their wealth, al-Saud royals lack political vision and flexibility – they have failed in their arrogance to realise that loyalties can never be bought if they are to last. They need instead to be given through cooperation, and collaboration.
Lebanon will most likely become another proxy in this grand re-organization of the Middle East.
By Catherine Shakdam for Shafaqna

"This legislation will create two sets of property rights: business property rights and residential property rights. No one will win. This bill would nullify regulatory ordinances meant to protect our businesses and citizens and will lead to lawsuits, which is a waste of taxpayer money."
This quote comes from a great op-ed by Mark Ryan, the City Manager of Indian Harbor Beach, on the threat to local solutions that HB 17 presents to Floridians.
This bill would remove the ability of local governments to pass laws regulating businesses in any way that is not currently authorized by statute.
Some examples of local solutions at risk highlighted in the article:
- Noise regulations on noise generated by businesses.
- Medical marijuana siting and security regulations.
- Adult entertainment/sexually oriented business regulation.
- Height restrictions in municipal charters adopted by voters.
- Parking or semi-trailers, tow trucks and similar commercial vehicles in residential areas.
- Home-based business regulations such as traffic, parking and employees not residing at the home.
- Hours for door-to-door solicitation.

Finpari Scam Test
Founded in 2014, Finpari was able to quickly find a place for itself on the binary options market. With a strong emphasis on innovation and technology, this broker managed to attract numerous clients from all around the world. The platform offers some pretty unique features and we believe that they will be the main reason for Finpari's success over the next few years. However, there are traders who are always reluctant to join a new broker because they don't know a lot about the company's background. It's easy to understand them, since scam brokers do exist, but this is where our team of financial experts comes in. They have conducted a Finpari scam test to examine this broker's offer thoroughly, so read on and you will know exactly how reliable this company really is.
Finpari Scam Test | Trading platform
In order to trick their victims into making an investment which has no chance of ending up in the money, some scam brokers use their trading platforms to provide traders with false information. Fortunately, Finpari Trading Platform is no such platform because it's based on the most reliable piece of trading software you can find on the market today – the Spot 2.0 Platform. Not only that, but their data provider is yet another global leader in its line of work. These features are a very reliable guarantee that this trading platform will function without the slightest problem. Prices of all 60 assets are perfectly accurate and updated regularly, so there is absolutely no chance that you will ever make an investment based on incorrect data. Expiry times also function without any problems and you can count on them to close the trade at the pre-determined time. Obviously, this kind of technology also has many other benefits, such as the Spot Follow mode which is one of seven different trading modes available and which enables you to follow the most successful traders on the platform. Technical analysis and instruments are also well integrated, so you will have all information available to you with just a click of a button. Finpari scam really doesn't seem realistic here, so we can move on to other important parts of the broker's offer – keep reading.
Finpari Scam Test | Transfer Methods
Obviously, traders need to know their money is safe with this broker, so examining the transfer methods seemed like an obvious choice for the second part of our Finpari scam test. This is where the innovations this broker made are most clearly visible, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. First of all, we need to say that traders can choose between bank wire transfers, credit cards (Visa and MasterCard) and several different online payment methods which include, but are not limited to, brands such as WebMoney, Qiwi, Neteller and PayPal. Yes, this broker is one of the very few to offer PayPal as one of its deposit methods, so you can make your Finpari Minimum Deposit of $250 anyway you like. The great thing about all this is that every single method mentioned here can also be used withdraw your funds, but the real shock came when we realized that it takes only an hour to do so. This is way faster than any other broker and a great example of how innovative Finpari actually is.
Naturally, all of these transactions need to be well protected and as you can see, these brands are all very reliable. Additional protection comes in form of a 256-bit SSL encryption system which takes care of all financial and personal information you disclose to your broker and this also applies to the Finpari Login process. Furthermore, the website has also been verified and secured by GoDaddy, so there really are no chances for a Finpari scam to occur. Just relax and enjoy your trading.
Finpari Scam Test | Confidentiality
Aside from a very reliable SSL system, Finpari also implements a strict confidentiality policy to make sure their clients' data is properly managed. This policy is constantly updated to keep the company attuned to all relevant legislation and you can be absolutely sure that all your information is well protected. None of it will ever be disclosed to a third party without your written approval, so you once again have complete control here. This is why you have to verify your identity with the broker before you make a withdrawal by confirming your address and sending in a copy of your government issued ID. Detailed instructions are available on the broker's website and in our Finpari Review 2016, so be sure to familiarize yourself with them as soon as possible. In any case, however, it is clear that Finpari leaves absolutely nothing to chance and that no Finpari scam simply is possible when trading on this platform.
Finpari Scam Test | Conclusion
All in all, we firmly believe that Finpari is an excellent binary options broker which will provide you with an interesting and safe trading experience. Numerous reliable brands, great security systems and a very strict confidentiality policy all serve as undeniable evidence that Finpari is a completely legitimate brokerage. The fact is that technology plays a vital role in this broker's business strategy, and the company has left nothing to chance by choosing to conduct its business with only the best providers in the world. This, of course, benefits us as their clients immensely, since all experienced traders are aware of the quality SpotOption provides and they know exactly what to expect from the platform. Finpari scam simply cannot happen – the broker has made sure its security is scam-proof. So don't waste any more time and open an account with this broker – with such a high level of security and so many innovative features, you are sure to enjoy your experience completely.

The envisionment of TK is to bring you what was promised by GSC for STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl, instead of the gutted retail release we were left with. TK aims to cover every aspect imaginable from gameplay intended to genuinely scare the player, to graphics for the absolute best visual experience, cut mutants, absolute realism, optimisations, stability, and a complete game mechanics overhaul, all without breaking the story. The idea is to present the player with a complete retail experience for the purist that liked SoC but wished it was far more fleshed out. In no way what so ever does TK try to be like old beta or alpha builds of SoC, TK aims to enhance everything SoC already has - nothing more, nothing less.

text: I like some ready made sauces. Usually I just marinate in Yoshida's gourmet sauce and sprinkle some sesame seeds over it before cooking the heck out of it. (I usually cook it until it is VERY firm. I cut it into thin slices first.) A little honey and mustard is nice, more honey than mustard. BBQ sauce is good for someone who isn't quite ready to give up the old way of eating...or just wants a "comfort food" taste.

Gypsy Moth
Important Gypsy Moth Information
Gypsy moth is now established in the City of Stevens Point. The gypsy moth is an aggressive feeder in the caterpillar stage. It will feed on nearly 500 different kinds of trees and shrubs, and can defoliate them quickly. The City of Stevens Point sprayed over 100 acres in 2004 in its effort to control the gypsy moth. Because the spraying was so effective, and with the help of Mother Nature, no land in the city has needed to be sprayed since then. The spring and early summer of 2004 were cool and moist, which is ideal for the growth of a fungus which attacks and kills gypsy moth. This fungus had a banner year in 2004 and wiped out much of the gypsy moth population throughout the city. Hopefully, it will be a couple years before the city will have to consider spraying again.
In early May, the gypsy moth caterpillars emerge from their egg masses and begin feeding on the leaves of trees. Their preferred tree is oak. As the caterpillar gets larger, so does its appetite.
By June, the caterpillars can be a real nuisance, just by their large numbers, as well as by the hairs they possess which can cause a rash to many humans when touched.
The caterpillars feed until late June to early July. This is when the defoliation from their feeding becomes very apparent - the trees will be stripped of all their leaves.
From late June to late July, the gypsy moth spends its life in a pupae stage, which is similar to a cocoon. From this emerges the adult moth, and those live until about September.
It is during this time, from August to September, that the female moth lays her eggs in masses. She will deposit her eggs anywhere and everywhere - in firewood piles, under campers, trailers, cars, in cracks of trees, etc. Each egg mass can contain between 600-1000 eggs.
From September until May, the gypsy moth remains in the egg stage.
What Can You Do?
In areas where gypsy moth is known to exist, it is important to inspect outdoor materials for gypsy moth life stages, this is especially true when you are transporting items from one area to another. Be familiar with what the caterpillars look like (see above), and be familiar with what the egg masses look like (see above). If you're hauling firewood to your family cottage and you find gypsy moth caterpillars on the wood, crush them, spray them, but do not transport them to a new area.
If you find Gypsy moth egg masses, you can spray the eggs with a soy bean oil product call Golden Pest Spray Oil, or scrape the eggs into a microwaveable bag, "nuke" them for one minute, and then discard them. Simply scraping the eggs off and trying to crush them with your foot doesn't work.
Once the caterpillars hatch, there are a number of things you can do. When they first hatch in May, you can put a piece of duct tape around the infested tree at chest height, and then spread "Tanglefoot" onto the tape. The young caterpillars will get stuck in this as they move up and down the tree.
Or, you can try putting up burlap bands. Cut a strip of burlap 12-18 inches wide and wrap it around the infested tree at chest height. Then tie a string around the tree on top of the burlap with six inches of burlap overhanging the rope. Many caterpillars will seek cover under the burlap during the afternoon. Once a day, you can check the burlap bands and dispose of the caterpillars found inside. You can crush them, or brush them into a bucket of soapy water. Once the caterpillars are dead, drain the water and throw them in the trash.
The caterpillars can be sprayed with insecticide. Make sure the insecticide is labeled for controlling gypsy moth caterpillars. There are some insecticides that are more caterpillar specific than others, and will not harm other beneficial insects. Choose your insecticide wisely, and always follow the label.
What is the City of Stevens Point doing to Control this Pest?
The City of Stevens Point Forestry Dept is doing a number of things to help control the gypsy moth in our community. First, we have been monitoring gypsy moth populations within the city, as well as keeping track of populations state wide.
One of the largest buildups of gypsy moth is at the city's east boundary. This means we can expect the populations of the pest to continue to grow in Stevens Point. Whenever the department is notified of a gypsy moth complaint, or our staff finds any life stage of the moth, it is recorded and plotted on a map. This helps identify potential spray areas.
A big thrust has been made to inform the public of the insect. The local newspapers and radio stations have been very helpful in covering this story. Residents have been kept up to date through the city newsletter and this web site. There are brochures on controlling the gypsy moth available at the Stevens Point Forestry Dept.
Forestry Department personnel have been spraying egg masses as we find them. The egg masses are sprayed with Golden Pest Spray Oil, which is available at most area garden centers. Very few egg masses have been found on city street trees. Their locations have been noted, and the egg masses will be sprayed once the temperature stays above 32 degrees.
There is a fungus disease (Entomophaga maimaiga) and a virus (NPV) that are specific to infecting gypsy moth caterpillars. The disease and virus are fatal to the caterpillar. The forestry department has been collecting caterpillars killed by the disease and fungus, blending them up, and introducing the "cocktail" to new pockets of gypsy moth infestations in the hopes of the virus or disease taking hold.
The city will continue to monitor this pest. We will try and keep our residents updated and informed of the gypsy moth. Hopefully, with a proactive approach, we can control the pest. If you have any questions, you can call the City of Stevens Point Forestry Department at 346-1532.

Cheb I Sabbah – La Kahena (Six Degrees Records 657036111127, 2005)
You don't need to know how to speak the language to understand that the songs on this CD are powerful. The rich texture of the music and the strong voices really do honor the 7th century female North African leader for which this CD is named. Sabbah wanted to make a statement with this CD about Arab/North African women. They have been portrayed as timid women whose lives are regulated by the men in their society. With this CD he shows these women as the strong and powerful individuals that they are.
The eight songs are from eight regions in North Africa. One of the regions from which he recorded music is Algeria, where Cheb i Sabbah was born and lived until the 60' when he moved with his family to Paris, France. This CD seems to be heavily influenced by the Persian, Arabic and Andalusian music of his youth.
The fascinating thing about the way in which DJ Sabbah mixes tracks is that he does not just sample music. He goes out and records the music or songs himself and then comes back to his studio and magically blends it all into an original work of art. He recorded the artists on this CD in studios in Marrakesh, San Francisco, New York and New Delhi.
The traditional artists that he ferreted out for this CD are used to performing in peoples homes for wedding and other ceremonies and celebrations. Unfortunately, there just aren't many people out there vying to study this music and preserving it for future generations. Thanks to Sabbah we now have a novel way to introduce new people to this music and at the same time preserve some of this rich cultural heritage.
The North African artists featured on this CD are Cheba Zahouania and Khadija Othmani from Algeria; Ouled Ben Aguida of Berber origin; The Haddarates, Nadia and B'net Marrakech from Morocco; Brahim Elbelkani, and Michal Cohen. Other artists included on this CD are Bill Laswell, Richard Horowitz, Karsh Kale, Mercan Dede, Bouchaib Abdelhadi, Gaurav Raina and Rufus Cappadocia.
Sabbah has often been said to take a traditional music form that may be hard for a westerner to understand and blend it with a dance rhythm that can be easily digested. He manages to do this I think in a way that still remains very true to the original music.
It is not often that I can say this about a CD but I honestly love every track on this CD. Without a doubt my favorite track on this CD is Sandya with it's "Toura Toura" refrain. This track features Brahim Elbelkani and an all female chorus. The combination of this traditional spiritual song combined with a very modern dance beat is simply beautiful. The entire CD makes it almost impossible to sit and listen without having an overwhelming urge to get up and dance. La Kahena is a must for any world music collection!
Buy La Kahena and his other CDs: Shri Durga, Maha Maya: Shri Durga Remixed, Krishna Lila, and As Far As: A DJ Mix.

I'm certainly no fashion expert. I couldn't name more than two or three designers, and tonight was the first time I'd ever watched the Oscars red carpet show.
Still, I enjoyed the over-the-top hoopla and star power. The fashion commentators were a bit much, though, with their gushing and overuse of "spectacular," "stunning" and "magnificent."
Best Dressed Women at 2012 Oscars
My choice for most beautiful actress?
Gwyneth Paltrow
She looked absolutely angelic in her flowing white gown, complimenting her blonde hair. I'm normally not a big fan of hers, but I thought she looked better than ever tonight.
Some others I liked follow.
Cameron Diaz
Man, she's tall. I never realized that. Like Gwyneth, I've never thought Cameron was beautiful, but she looked that way tonight. She also wore white that looked great with her blonde hair.
Penelope Cruz
What a knockout. Loved her bluish purple form-fitting dress. Her figure and brunette hair are always awesome.
Octavia Spencer
She was the first actress interviewed on the runway, and she was one of the best dressed. It's nice to see women who aren't pencil-thin look so glamorous.
Michelle Williams
She wore red, and it was fabulous on her.
Jessica Chastain
She had a black dress with gold embroidery. Unique and eye-catching.
Some less-than-spectacular looks:
- Tina Fey. I love her comedy, and her black dress was fine. But her hair was in an up-do that looked like a football stuck to the back of her head.
- Sandra Bullock. Dark bottom, white top, backless. She's never done anything for me, and she didn't tonight.
- Jennifer Lopez. Well, she looked great from the waist up in her low-cut gown. But those hips! Mercy. I'd never noticed she was wide down low
Reviews of the Best Dressed and Worst Dressed Men at the 2012 Oscars
Let's not forget the guys. It's hard to mess up a black tux, but some guys looked ever better than others.
Surprise, Brad Pitt and George Clooney topped the list. They're so much better-looking than the rest of us guys, it's not fair.
A slimmed-down Jonah Hill, accompanied by his mom, looked boyishly handsome. Christopher Plummer, the senior statesman at age 82, looked incredibly dapper and sophisticated with his silver hair and thin mustache.
The worst look? Nick Nolte, without a doubt. He wore dark glasses, perhaps to hide bloodshot eyes. If he wasn't drunk, he was doing a good impression of a drunk.
Funniest guy? Zach Galifianakis. He looked goofy, as he always does in his films. The interviewer asked him who "he was wearing" – a reference to his designer, a common question during the night.
"Garanimals," Zach deadpanned, referring to a cheap line of children's casual clothes.
I learned a few things about fashion tonight from listening to the experts and watching the stars.
"Fashion is a mystery," one designer said in a taped interview. "It should be chic, elegant and fun."
That description would apply to most of the stars on display tonight.
Twitter and Facebook Reactions to Best Dressed at 2012 Oscars
Some agreed with me, while others didn't.

If you're like most women in America you have
a lot a TON of makeup!
We all store it in different places.
Makeup bags, drawers, cabinets....
We've all experienced spills and our makeup/bushes getting dirty with loose makeup
If you're like me I hate getting makeup all over my hands and digging
around in my makeup bags.
I wish I could take credit for this because it is just so dang neat!! Sadly, I can't
but this is seriously one of the coolest, most useful craft
I've ever made! HERE is where I found my inspiration.
The Makeup Magnet Board
|Pin It
What you'll need:
1. Picture frame
2. Metal sheet (get it at Lowes)
3. Hot glue
4. Scissors
5. Fabric
6. Magnets
7. Makeup brush cup
8. Metal cutting shears
Start by removing the backing and the glass from your picture frame. You'll want to use the backing to measure and cut your metal sheet to fit into the back of your frame. You will need metal cutting shears for this part.
After you have measured and cut your metal sheets wrap it with the fabric of your choice. Make sure it is taut and secure it with hot glue.
Secure it with plenty of hot glue around all of the edges
Make sure your fabric is secure and now place it inside of your frame and replace the backing
Your frame is now done! Next, start gluing magnets to the back of your makeup. Once the makeup is all used up simply pull the magnet off and peel off the hot glue from the magnet and reuse them.
Use your additional fabric to wrap your cup. You will use this for all of your brushes, mascara, eyeliner and tweezers. Make sure you use a light cup (I used a baking powder can) and then line the back with 3 to 4 magnets. Arrange all of your makeup on your new makeup board and you're ready to hang it in your bathroom!
The finished product!! Isn't it awesome!?
Happy crafting ya'll!

Online retailers Amazon.com and Zappos.com are being sued by a Texas woman who claims she and millions of other customers were harmed by the release of personal account information.
Officials representing Zappos in Nevada and parent company Amazon in Seattle declined comment Wednesday on the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Louisville, Ky.
The lawsuit was filed Monday after Zappos chief executive Tony Hsieh alerted employees and customers by email Sunday that names, phone numbers and email addresses of the shoe retailer's customers may have been accessed in a hacker attack. The company said customers' credit card and payment information weren't stolen.
Zappos urged customers to reset passwords to accounts and any other websites where they use similar passwords.
Zappos said the hacker gained access to its internal network and systems through one of the company's servers in Kentucky. Zappos is based in Henderson .
Attorneys for plaintiff Theresa D. Stevens of Beaumont, Texas, are seeking class action status on behalf of 24 million customers . The civil negligence lawsuit seeks unspecified millions of dollars in compensatory and exemplary damages for emotional distress and loss of privacy, along with a court order for the company to pay for customer credit monitoring and identity theft insurance and periodic audits to ensure customer data is secure.
Zappos representative Diane Coffey in Boston and Amazon spokeswoman Mary Osako in Seattle said both companies have policies against commenting on litigation.
The company also said its phone system would be temporarily shut down and all employees placed on customer service detail. As of Wednesday morning, Zappos' customer service line still directed callers to email the company with questions or concerns at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Review-Journal contributed to this report. Contact reporter Caitlin McGarry at email@example.com or 702-387-5273.
