Supplementary Written Submission from Community Land Scotland
Local Government and Communities Committee Planning (Scotland) Bill Supplementary Written Submission from Community Land Scotland Dear Jane, I’m writing on behalf of Community Land Scotland to thank the Committee for the opportunity to participate in the Planning (Scotland) Bill evidence session at its meeting on February 28th and to provide further information in that regard. The Policy Memorandum for the Planning (Scotland) Bill articulates an ambition to shift planning from reacting to development proposals to proactively supporting investment and quality place-making. As discussed in our evidence session, that requires some vision as to the purpose of the planning system as a mechanism for contributing to the sustainable development of both urban and rural Scotland. Community Land Scotland views the Bill as an important legislative opportunity for Planning Policy to contribute to the renewal of rural Scotland in particular by incorporating our proposals regarding repopulation and resettlement of land. Specifically by: Placing a duty on Scottish Ministers to have regard to the desirability of the repopulation and resettlement of rural Scotland; Giving Ministers powers to designate land for the purposes of its resettlement; Giving Ministers and others (local authorities) powers to purchase land for the purpose of its resettlement; including compulsory purchase powers; Requiring Ministers to produce or cause to produce a map of ‘no longer existing communities’ to which they may have regard in preparing future policy; Requiring Ministers -
“Al-Tally” Ascension Journey from an Egyptian Folk Art to International Fashion Trend
مجمة العمارة والفنون العدد العاشر “Al-tally” ascension journey from an Egyptian folk art to international fashion trend Dr. Noha Fawzy Abdel Wahab Lecturer at fashion department -The Higher Institute of Applied Arts Introduction: Tally is a netting fabric embroidered with metal. The embroidery is done by threading wide needles with flat strips of metal about 1/8” wide. The metal may be nickel silver, copper or brass. The netting is made of cotton or linen. The fabric is also called tulle-bi-telli. The patterns formed by this metal embroidery include geometric figures as well as plants, birds, people and camels. Tally has been made in the Asyut region of Upper Egypt since the late 19th century, although the concept of metal embroidery dates to ancient Egypt, as well as other areas of the Middle East, Asia, India and Europe. A very sheer fabric is shown in Ancient Egyptian tomb paintings. The fabric was first imported to the U.S. for the 1893 Chicago. The geometric motifs were well suited to the Art Deco style of the time. Tally is generally black, white or ecru. It is found most often in the form of a shawl, but also seen in small squares, large pieces used as bed canopies and even traditional Egyptian dresses. Tally shawls were made into garments by purchasers, particularly during the 1920s. ملخص البحث: التمي ىو نوع من انواع االتطريز عمى اقمشة منسوجة ويتم ىذا النوع من التطريز عن طريق لضم ابر عريضة بخيوط معدنية مسطحة بسمك 1/8" تصنع ىذه الخيوط من النيكل او الفضة او النحاس.واﻻقمشة المستخدمة في صناعة التمي تكون مصنوعة اما من القطن او الكتان. -

Posted 02/05/09] Stenhousemuir Were the Visitors to the Old Ground on Saturday As the SNCL Kicked Off for - Let's Hope - the Last Time
Week one, win one [posted 02/05/09] Stenhousemuir were the visitors to the old ground on Saturday as the SNCL kicked off for - let's hope - the last time. The 'Loc hadn't played the maroon marauders from deepest darkest Larbert since 2003 as the clubs avoided each other in different divisions, and so it wasn't surprising that, bar respective veteran ever-presents Ferrier and Gardner, and Spence and Sheridan, the players on parade had no idea what to expect from each other. Mind you, that said, the two sides' pro's were rivals back in South African domestic cricket. Brian Spence's first job was - of course - to lose the toss, or more accurately watch as his Stennie counterpart win it. Batting. Why? Probably the visitors' skipper thinking being that wet weather in the days leading up to the game must've meant there was "something" in the pitch. And of course he was right; what was in it was water. Lots of it. HoVR opened with Captain Spence, and 15 was on the 'board when the latter was cleaned up by Angus [Ed: that's his surname!]. Dan then came and went for 2 and it was 28 for 2 when Bean joined the pro'. 26 runs later and HoVR had his fourth batting partner of the day as Nichty strode out. Determined to show that his deck was perfectly playable the Big Man would go on to top score in the innings, batting with almost as many partners as HovR - his 32 added to Hancke's 31 and Maddy 's 27 late on being the three scores around which a defendable total were built. -

Renfrew~H I Re Local H I 3Tory
RLHF Journal Vol.2 (1990) 2. Renfrewshire's historic monuments - a heritage under threat: A summary of local archaeological problems with a bibliography and brief site list. Gordon McCrae It is said that the past is another country. If this is true, the more distant past often seems like an alien planet. The recent welcome flood of books and pamphlets about the history of our area has done little to change this perception. The study and reinterpretation of medieval, Roman and prehistoric Renfrewshire remains sadly neglected. This may be due, in part, to the problems which confront a local historian trying to make sense of the archaeological record. These problems include (a) - lack of a current bibliography of sources, or an accessible site list, for use as an introduction to local monuments; (b) the fact that much important information is only available in out-of-print books and obscure periodicals; (c) the difficulty of dealing with the large gaps in the archaeological record; which is compounded by (d) ,recent wholesale reinterpretation of classes of monuments due to advances in archaeological techniques. Finally (e) the scientific and technical nature of these techniques which make them the exclusive preserve of 'experts'. Another persistent problem, since the demise of the Renfrewshire Archaeological Society, has been the lack of a local forum for people interested in discussion, fieldwork and preservation. Various bodies have sponsored investigations over the years - Paisley Museum, Glasgow Archaeological Society, Renfrewshire Natural History Society, The Ancient Monuments Inspectorate, The Ordnance Survey, and, more recently, the Regional Archaeologist and the Scottish Urban Archaeological Trust. -

Britain’s most senior Catholic clergyman has branded the UK Government’s opposition to a ‘tiny tax’ on banks and the financial sector to help combat poverty as ‘shameful’ and reiter- ated his support for the introduction of a Robin Hood Tax on institutions in the UK. Strong criticism The cardinal urged Mr Cameron not just to help ‘your very rich colleagues’ and said it was immoral ‘just to ignore’ those who were suffer- ing as a result of recent financial disasters. “My message to David Cameron, as the head of our government, is to seriously think again about this Robin Hood Tax, the tax to help the Vote to protect our schools poor by taking a little bit from the rich,” Cardi- nal O’Brien said. “The poor have suffered tremendously from the financial disasters of I Threat of same-sex ‘marriage’ highlighted in Scottish Council election week recent years and nothing, really, has been done by the very rich people to help them. -
