Leane Sharif is a fictional character in Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time fantasy series. She is willowy and graceful, but has a clipped tone of speaking at times. She is from Arad Doman originally.
She is a former Aes Sedai of the Blue Ajah and former Keeper of the Chronicles for Siuan Sanche. She was stilled along with Siuan when the latter was deposed, but in Salidar they were both Healed by Nynaeve al'Meara, albeit to somewhat less than their prior strength in the One Power. Upon her reinstatement, she changed to the Green Ajah, possibly due to recovering some of her Domani skills at dealing with men.
When the rebel Aes Sedai laid siege to Tar Valon, she and Egwene al'Vere attempted to transform the north and south harbor chains into cuendillar, thus effectively preventing Elaida's Aes Sedai from receiving shipments of food. Unfortunately, she was betrayed and captured, and is currently being held in the Tower dungeon.

Parliamentary Seat
The current Member of Parliament for Saffron Walden is Sir Alan Haselhurst M.P. a Conservative a deputy speaker to the House of Commons. He has held the seat for over 30 years (since a by-election in 1977) the seat was previously held by Peter Kirk and R.A Butler both Conservatives. Saffron Walden is a largely rural constituency in North-West Essex. It is by far the biggest constituency in Essex, but it is not just about farming. There are a host of small businesses - many of them high-tech - and there is also Stansted Airport.
The size of the constituency makes clarification important. Many of the postal addresses relate to towns outside the constituency and in some cases to other counties. There are two medium sized towns within the constituency; Saffron Walden and Great Dunmow. They both have historic links, and are still regarded as some of the finest, most quintessential market towns in England - wonderful for shopping in independent stores, and home to an array of traditional crafts - and some more original ideas. The constituency has important transport links. The M11 motorway runs from north to south at its western end, almost parallel with the West Anglia Main Line railway (King’s Lynn / Cambridge to London Liverpool Street). And there is the Airport itself, Stansted being London’s third airport and the fastest growing in the country. Saffron Walden is, quite literally, an hour away from both London and Europe.
Saffron Walden Town Council
The Conservatives are the current majority (12 to 3) on Saffron Walden Town Council. The Conservatives gained control of the Town Council from the Liberal Democrats in 2007 after almost a decade out of control. The Council is lead by Major Sarfraz Anjum, a Conservative.

The Conservatives are the current controlling party on Uttlesford District Council. They took control of the Council in 2007 after four years of Liberal Democrat control.

Essex County Council
There are five Essex County Council divisions covered by SWCCAs. These are Dunmow, Saffron Walden, Stansted, Thaxted and Writtle. These are all held by the Conservatives.
Conservative Future

The Pit Bulls were a professional wrestling tag team on World Wrestling Entertainment's ' brand that consisted of Jamie Noble and Kid Kash.
History
The pair first joined together as a team during the January 28, 2006 episode of Velocity facing off against Paul London and Brian Kendrick. Noble and Kash continued to team frequently after this, taking on various babyface members of SmackDown!'s cruiserweight division in tag matches.
During May 2006, Noble and Kash debuted a gimmick, where they would wear dog collars and chains to the ring as well as bark, bite, and perform other dog-like antics during matches. The pair were soon given the Pit Bulls name and an adapted version of Kid Kash's previous entrance theme which included dog barking sounds. The gimmick and name were based on Extreme Championship Wrestling's Pitbulls.
On several occasions, the team would unsuccessfully go after SmackDown!'s WWE Tag Team Championship, then held by London and Kendrick. The team was put on hiatus after Kash had a run-in with management concerning his attitude. Upon their return, they began to wrestle a stiffer style in keeping with their "Pitbull" persona.
The team was disbanded after Kid Kash's release from the company on September 27, 2006, and Noble returned to the cruiserweight division. Jamie Noble would later use Kid Kash's old theme song as his own. It is still remixed with the dog barks. He also now goes by his new nickname "The Pitbull."
