In the first trial, which commenced in October 2021, Shahzad Nowaz, aged 45, and Nadeem Nassir, 44 were found guilty of r**e and making threats to kill. Both were sentenced to 11 years.

Sajid Adalat, 48, and Shazad Nazir, 49 were sentenced to seven and 11 years respectively after being convicted of r**e. Sohail Zaffer, 41, pled guilty to r**e and supply of a class C drug, and was sentenced to 42 months.

Following a second trial commencing in January 2022, Nadeem Adalat, 39, Asad Mahmood, 38, Mohammed Rizwan Iqbal, 39, and Vaseem Adalat, 38, were all found guilty of r**e. The former and latter both appealed their sentences, which were increased respectively to 14 years and 14 years and 6 months.

The second investigation was also launched in 2016 after reports of a vulnerable girl being repeatedly abused between 2002 and 2006, starting when she was 13 years old.

In an initial trial at Bradford Crown Court, Amir Shaban, 48, of Halifax, was found guilty of r**e and sentenced to 10 years.

A second trial starting in October 2022 saw six men from Halifax – Malik Quadeer, 67, Mohammed Ziarab, 55, Imran Raja Yasin, 45, Kamran Amin, 48, Mohammed Akhtar, 54, and Saquab Hussain, 46 – all jailed for r**e. Quadeer was found guilty of five counts of r**e and sentenced to 22 years.

The third investigation was launched in 2018 into a 12-year-old girl s**ually abused between 2001 and 2002.

Craig Mitchell, 55 of Halifax, was found guilty of r**e at a trial in December, and was sentenced to 12 years.

Twenty men have been jailed for r**ing and abusing four girls in Calderdale, West Yorkshire Police has said.

The men have been sentenced to a combined total of 219 years in prison in relation to sexual abuse carried out between 2001 and 2010, against four girls aged 12 to 16.

The abuse was uncovered in a series of trials and extensive police investigations into allegations first received back in 2016.

West Yorkshire Police said it announced the convictions on Wednesday after court restrictions put in place to safeguard legal proceedings were lifted, allowing them to share the details of three investigations where trials have now concluded.

Detective chief inspector Claire Smith said: “Firstly, I want to acknowledge the sheer courage of the victims and survivors in each of these investigations – not only for having the bravery to come forward initially but also for enduring the criminal justice system and the weight of criminal trials and reporting restrictions in place.

“Due to legal restrictions, it has not been possible to publicise these outcomes until now. I welcome the sentences handed to these offenders for the abhorrent abuse these young girls were subjected to, which was heard by the jurors in each trial over the last few years.

“Tackling child s**ual exploitation and abuse is a top priority for West Yorkshire Police and our partners. This is an abhorrent crime which has a lifelong impact on victims and survivors.”

The first investigation was launched in 2016 in relation to the s**ual abuse and exploitation of two girls aged between 13 and 16, which took place in Calderdale between 2006 and 2009.

Nine men from Halifax were jailed over the course of two trials at Bradford Crown Court.

Right or wrong, tattoos usually come with ratchetness or a hood mentality. If they only have a couple of tiny tattoos, like a cartoon on their shoulder or something, that's different.

Someone who smokes doesn't seem to GAF, and that can easily be their attitude towards other things. Also, if they smoke, it's likely that their family smokes, and no offense, but that makes their family more likely to be kinda ratchet.

Drinking, it depends. How often do they drink? How much do they drink?

Piercings are kind of like tattoos. One nose ring (on the side, not the bottom), a pierced bellybutton, or a couple extra piercings in the ears is fine. But the other stuff suggests that they, um, are into some weird stuff or may be very unhealed.

So drinking wins lol, as long as they're not an alcoholic, and can have a good time without drinking.

Thank you i really appreciate please do you know or have any link someone can apply for scholarship.

In the USA student visa thread I gave you a link for, just ask. People won't hesitate to direct you to resources, and give you important information.

You have to do your own research though. It won't be as easy as one link because there are many paths and options, but not everyone will be able to access everything.

Tolu2024:
I will try data analysis again I stopped along the way.

That is an excellent choice, and a far better deal because all the information you need is free. Textbooks, videos, guides, communities. It's all out there. The industry is also not hard to get into, and you can make a great salary.

Wanted to use school route to Sweden where you can move with the dependent.

Before, that would have been a great idea, but Sweden is one of many countries that's shifting to conservative politics. Recently, they were paying immigrants to leave the country. I think it would make more sense to study in America, even with a more conservative government on they way. Things are just much different in the US.

If you still want to explore Sweden as an option, review this thread:

Sorry about that. I don't know why they did that.

That what someone told me not to sell . That the only means for me to japa no other means or to raise money .

It's really not a good idea. And it may not be enough. It's more expensive now to go abroad. And countries are also making it a bit harder.

If you can't raise the money, you really should consider starting a business in a nearby country, like Cote D'Ivoire. You should also consider giving software development, data management, and data analysis another try. It's more than worth the effort.

However, you can also look into getting a scholarship for your wife to study in the US. Read the thread in the travel section about studying in the US. And ask people there. They'll be happy to help.

Yeah, she was trying to set you up in some way. What she said made absolutely no sense. If it was true, she could ask just about any friend from school to do that.

If you find yourself in a similar situation again, record it (audio). And try to find a small body camera that you can hide. Film these people when you can, so you have legal protection.

You should report this to the library management (not librarians). And you should report this to police, especially if that was an area with higher crime. This could be something known to police. The thing is that these criminals are always coming up with new lines and stories for getting access to you.

Even though she looked like a random teenage girl, she might really be a:
-Hooker
-Gang member
-Scammer
-Trafficker

Here are some things she may have been doing:

-RFID skimming, to steal your cc info by getting physically close to you.
-Extortion by claiming that you attacked her or have a relationship with her.
-Getting a photo to make it look like you know each other, so someone can scam with it.
-Getting photos of people to rob.
-A hooker testing you to see if you bite.
-The idiot might even think you're a drug dealer.

I'd stop going to that library, honestly. Also, most libraries have meeting rooms that you can use if you want a private workspace.

You can also find cheap rentable offices (designed for remote workers) if this is something you frequently need.

They fumbled the election again, and the POS are trying to blame black people instead of the idiot crackers and Mexicans that actually put Dump in office. I'm pretty sure that over 70% of black women and over 70% of black men voted for these depraved idiots.

If they want to find reasons, look at deranged oyinbos doing all kinds of ballot tampering. They should have already turned over management of voting to the federal government.

But none of this is as important as working on the real problem: oyinbos sabotaging African economies. We don't want to live in white hellholes with THIS:

I don’t even know where to start from before going to sell my property before it becomes worthless in Nigeria.

Whoa. Don't rush to sell your property. What if you go abroad and it doesn't work out? Then what will you do?

You need to think and plan very carefully.

Nice looking couple.

What went wrong with Will Smith?
How come his children are weirdo, where did he get it wrong ?

There's a saying that's something like, "Don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out."

But Will was just trying his best to be a progressive dad (and husband). I think it's really Hollywood that got to his kids. They also spent too much time around white people.

This is all about India. They just don't want to admit that.

But at least they're actually doing something, unlike the US. Canada even has a rule about visas that I don't think the US has. They don't allow employers to grant work visas in places where the unemployment rate is above like 6% or something.

The finalists alleged that Jiang had made “several apparent writing mistakes” in an online video and that she “seemed unfamiliar with these mathematical expressions and symbols”.

While the preliminary round of the competition allowed participants to use programming software, the final round was a closed-book exam. The results of the finals, which were initially set to be released in August, were postponed for several months. When the results were finally made public on Sunday, Jiang was not among the 86 winners of the final round.

Her school also confirmed in a statement on Sunday that Jiang had been helped by her teacher Wang, and that Wang had been given a warning and disqualified from teachers’ awards for the year. The statement also called for leniency and protection for the teenager. Attempts by the BBC to contact Jiang's family were unsuccessful. A social media account once used by her mother is now defunct, and a phone number linked to her father has been deactivated. Multiple phone calls by the BBC to Jiang's school went unanswered, and a village official declined to discuss Jiang when contacted by the BBC.

While Sunday’s revelation unleashed a wave of criticism of Jiang and her teacher, many social media users also spoke up for the teenager, arguing the bigger responsibility lay with her school and teacher. “Jiang Ping is not innocent, that’s without question. But who are the worst parties in this?” reads a post on Weibo. “The adults brought this child along to do a bad deed, and let her suffer all the consequences.”

“Even if the whole thing was faked, Jiang Ping was not the mastermind behind it,” another wrote on Weibo. “She should not be burned at the stake.”

She had chosen to study at the vocational school both because she was interested in fashion design, and because her sister and friends were there, said local media outlets. Jiang's results and unconventional educational background soon grabbed nationwide attention. Her story was featured in a video produced by Damo Academy and she was interviewed by news outlets across the country. “Learning maths is bumpy, but every time I solve the problems I feel quite happy,” she told the state-run People’s Daily. “No matter what the future holds, I will keep learning.”

Jiang’s teacher, Wang Runqiu, was also thrust into the spotlight, hailed as an educator who noticed and encouraged her passion for maths. Speaking to the media, he described her as an attentive student who had learnt advanced mathematics herself. "I have encountered many setbacks in the process of learning maths,” he said. “So, I want to do everything I can to help my students and let them know that there are other possibilities in the future.”

But along with an outpouring of praise for Jiang and her teacher, the student’s story also sparked a discussion about whether China’s education system did enough to support gifted students in less academic pathways - especially those who may not have received similar recognition by their teachers. China's education system focuses much of its resources on those taking the "Gaokao" - the notoriously difficult exam that students need to take in order to get into university. Those in vocational schools had long faced restrictions in taking the gaokao and enrolling in regular universities, until an education reform in 2022 offered vocational school students an alternative university entrance exam.

An earlier op-ed in state-news media outlet Xinhua said that Jiang's results “hint[ed] at an awkward truth: even youths as talented as her may be easily buried without good education credentials”. But as Jiang’s fame burgeoned, criticism and scepticism surrounding her skills also started to bubble. In June, dozens of other finalists published a joint letter they wrote to the competition organising committee demanding an investigation into Jiang. They also called for her answers to the preliminary test questions to be made public.

A 17-year-old girl in China hailed as a genius in a mathematics contest cheated, competition organisers have said - ending months of scepticism over her stellar results. Jiang Ping, a fashion design student from a rural town in Jiangsu province, made headlines in June when she came 12th in the qualifiers of an international maths contest run by Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba. She was the first finalist since the competition began in 2018 to have come from a lowly vocational school, Chinese media reported. The vast majority of the 800 finalists came from elite universities. Jiang's results turned her into an overnight sensation, and she was labelled a "prodigy" in the press and on social media.

Under China's notoriously cut-throat education system, academic excellence is lauded. Many people online were encouraged by Jiang's results, seeing them as proof that students from vocational institutes could still excel academically. However, as doubt surrounding her abilities snowballed, competition organisers said last Sunday that Jiang had violated competition rules in the preliminary round, by receiving help from her teacher, who was also a contestant himself. “This has exposed problems like inadequacies in the competition format and the lack of rigour in supervision. We sincerely apologise,” organisers said in a statement. According to the final results announced on Sunday, neither Jiang nor her teacher was among 86 winners in the competition. The annual mathematics contest is open to contestants from institutions worldwide and hosted by Damo Academy, Alibaba’s research institute.

This year, Jiang, a student at Jiangsu Lianshui Secondary Vocational School, outperformed other finalists from some of the world’s most prestigious institutions — including Peking University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the University of Oxford.

Anyone ever used an induction stove? What do you think about it?

This might be the only thing they're right about:

It seems like a woman marrying a man that much older than her is far more likely to cheat, but maybe that's unfair to say.

What are the stats?

I won't comment on this project, but if you know anything about solar panels, this is an opportunity. It doesn't even have to be a large system. Engineering grads who can't find work need to start looking at starting businesses for selling and installing small-scale, inexpensive systems for residential use.
