1. Being deterred from taking up legal aid assistance because it is granted as a loan with the imposition of a user charge, interim repayments, interest, and sometimes a security taken over assets.
2. Finding a lawyer who will take their case. The number of registered civil legal aid lawyers is known to have decreased by 54 per cent between 2011 and 2016 and there are currently 150 registered providers in Auckland and 20 in Otago. The audit suggests that approximately one third of these registered lawyers are not currently providing services to civil legal aid clients. The number of available legal aid lawyers is therefore very limited.
and advice. These organisations are constrained by limited resources and rarely provide representation. Some organisations set income-tested eligibility criteria. While these criteria are less restrictive than those of legal aid, there will be a significant group who earn above the threshold amounts but who still cannot afford ongoing representation by a lawyer.
3. The type of fee arrangements or discount arrangements that lawyers are offering and for which categories of clients.
These questions will be explored in the next phase of this study.

Belgian bishops defy Rome to introduce church blessings for same-sex couples
Bishops in Belgium have introduced a liturgy for the blessings of same sex couples in defiance of teaching from the Vatican.
A document issued by the Flemish-speaking bishops of Flanders also includes prayers, Scripture readings and suggested wording for same-sex couples to proclaim publicly and in a church setting "before God how they are committed to one another".
The rite asks God to "bless and perpetuate this commitment of love and fidelity" between homosexual couples.
Cardinal Jozef De Kesel of Mechelen-Brussels and the other bishops behind the document, called "Being pastorally close to homosexual persons — For a welcoming Church that excludes no one", argue however that their teachings are consistent with Amoris Laetitia (the Joy of Love), the 2016 post-synodal exhortation of Pope Francis on the pastoral care of families.
They say the document was issued as a "concrete response and fulfilment to the desire to give explicit attention to the situation of homosexual persons, their parents and families in the conduct of policy".
"Every human being, regardless of his sexual orientation, must be respected in his dignity and treated with respect," the bishops say.
"We want to continue on that path by giving this pastoral relationship a more structural character."
They said that same-sex unions "although not a religious marriage, can be a source of peace and shared happiness for those involved".
"Pope Francis asks to value and support the judgment of people's conscience[s], even in life situations that do not fully realize the objective ideal of marriage," the bishops added. "No one can be condemned forever because that is not the logic of the gospel."
The bishops said that "believers who live in a stable homosexual relationship also desire respect and appreciation within the faith community" and that they "want to be heard and recognized".
The new liturgy, they said, would confirm "their joy of knowing a steady partner, their choice for an exclusive and lasting relationship, their firm will to care responsibly for each other and their desire to be of service in Church and society".
The move nevertheless contradicts the contents of ruling from the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith that the blessings of same-sex couples was impermissible.
Nederlands Dagblad was among the publications to note that the bishops were "going directly against the Vatican".
In March 2021, the CDF published the responsum ad dubium to a question about the legitimacy of liturgical blessings for same-sex couples.
In response to the question: "Does the Church have the power to give the blessing to unions of persons of the same sex?" the CDF answered: "Negative."
In an accompanying explanation, the CDF said: "God does not and cannot bless sin."
Pope Francis in January demoted CDF secretary Archbishop Giacomo Morandi, who was seen as the driving force behind the statement as well as an opponent of new restrictions against the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass.
The archbishop was understood to have also insisted that the matter was addressed in response to repeated calls by several German bishops for same-sex liturgical blessings.
The ensuing ruling said that although "positive elements" may exist in a same-sex unions, they were not ordered to the Creator's plan could not therefore justify an ecclesial blessing.
It said: "There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God's plan for marriage and family," adding that it cannot be licit to bestow a blessing imitating "the nuptial blessing invoked on the man and woman united in the sacrament of matrimony",
The Church, the ruling concluded, "does not have the power over God's designs" but was only "their faithful interpreter and witness".

Five Things to Know About Grenada
The third meeting came in the opening match of the 2009 Concacaf Gold Cup, with the USA an appropriate 4-0 score line on the Fourth of July in Seattle. Freddy Adu (seventh minute), Stuart Holden (31st minute), Robbie Rogers (60th minute) and Charlie Davis (68th minute) scored. The Americans outshot the Spice Boys25-3, as Troy Perkins recorded the clean sheet.
Interesting note: seven of the USA's starters entered the match with a combined 11 international appearances.
Grenada entered the match on a 10-game winless streak through June 4. They last posted a win against the US Virgin Islands, a 1-0 result at home on March 30, 2021.
They dropped all three matches in group play at the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup, losing to Honduras, 4-0, Qatar, 4-0, and Panama, 3-1.
Grenada played only twice since the 2021 Concacaf Gold Cup. During a short European tour, they played Gibraltar to a scoreless draw on March 23 and lost at Andorra, 1-0, on March 28.
In its Concacaf Nations League opener on June 4, the Caribbean side lost at El Salvador, 3-1. After the hosts' Nelson Bonilla scored the first of his two goals in the second minute, Alexander McQueen equalized two minutes later. Bonilla struck for the go-ahead tally in the 43rd minute and Grenada's AJ Paterson scored a 55th-minute own goal to close out the scoring.
Grenada nearly upset El Salvador during the home leg on June 7 in St. George's. the Spice Boys twice took the lead behind goals from Jacob Berkeley-Agyepong (29th minute) and Jamar Charles (54th minute), but El Salvador found a late equalizer, with Cristian Gil putting one home in the 88th minute.
Canadian-born Michael Findlay has guided the Caribbean side to a 1-8-1 record since taking over as head coach on Jan. 21, 2021.
After playing in the Canadian Professional Soccer League, the 58-year-old Findlay eventually entered coaching, beginning with the British Columbia Soccer Center as an assistant coach before his appointment as their Director of Football Development.
He has also previously worked as an assistant with several Canadian Men's National Teams, including the Under-17, U-20 and U-23 squads.
the Spice Boyz brought in a relatively young 25-man roster into its Concacaf Nations League matches. Slightly more than half the players are below the age of 25.
Forward Jamal Charles, who plays for Real Sociedad, is the side's leading scorer with 15 goals in 30 appearances.
Seven players perform in the United States – defenders Kwesi Paul (Peachtree City, USL League Two) and AJ Peterson and Ettiene (both Charleston Battery, USL Championship), midfielders Alexander McQueen (Indy Eleven, USL Championship), Shavon John-Brown (El Paso Locomotive, USL Championship) and Josh Gabriel (Westchester Flames, USL League Two) and forward Kharlton Belmar (Colorado Springs Switchbacks).

"This is like Oz. You can see it, but you can't get in," says Andrew Mansinne, Vice President of Brands for MGP Ingredients, to a roomful of journalists at MGP's Lawrenceburg, Indiana distillery.
The L. Frank Baum-inspired flourish is fitting. The massive, 170 year-old distillery is the largest producer of rye whiskey in the United States, and has given Lawrenceburg the nickname "Whiskey City." Yet there's no visitor's center, no opportunity to buy a T-shirt, and little name recognition outside of whiskey die-hards.
There's a reason for that. The whiskeys, gins, and vodkas that MGP makes are sold to a constellation of other brands that sell the spirit under their own labels.
"We're the largest distillery you've never heard of," is something of an unofficial slogan at MGP. But that's slowly changing, thanks to a small roster of spirits that the distiller has begun releasing on its own over the last two years.
MGP is the latest in a long line of distillers that have called its Lawrenceburg site home. The first recorded, Rossville Distillery, was built in 1847. After Prohibition, the site was bought by Seagram, who constructed the mid-century campus that stands today. The towering, Art Deco industrial buildings—many of which still say SEAGRAM in tall, white letters—give it the feeling of a miniature, whiskey-making Gotham city.
From Seagram, ownership passed to Pernod Ricard in 2001 and then LDI (Lawrenceburg Distillers Indiana), who set up shop in 2007. MGP purchased the distillery in 2011, and while they converted its power source from coal to natural gas, they retained many of its historic buildings and equipment including a 1941 gin still that remains in operation.

If you're a would-be whiskey brand in need of juice, MGP has a catalog of over a dozen standard mash bills to choose from. (If you've got a bottle of 95% rye whiskey at home, there's a good chance it hails from Indiana.) You can also order a blend, or commission MGP to make your own custom recipe—so long as you can hit the minimum order size of 250 barrels. A smattering of six-story rack houses with whiskey barrels on each distinct floor suggests that MGP whiskey is in demand.
Some brands are open about their sourcing of MGP whiskey (Templeton, Bulleit, High West), but others prefer to keep it discreet. For that reason, it's unlikely that MGP will ever be fully open to the public. But don't despair—MGP is coming to you.
MGP's move to sell their own juice directly started with George Remus. The brand, named after the prohibition-era "King of Bootleggers" who appeared as a character on Boardwalk Empire and is believed to have inspired The Great Gatsby, was initially a customer. MGP liked George Remus so much that they bought it outright in 2016, improving its quality and spinning off an annual Remus Repeal Reserve, whose second edition was just released November 13—George Remus's birthday.

MGP is currently selling five spirits split across three brands in 12 states (plus Tanner's Creek, a blended bourbon whiskey that is only available in Indiana). The Oz of whiskey may still be off-limits, but sipping any of the spirits below counts as a peek behind the curtain.
Till is a useful reminder that whiskey isn't the only thing coming out of MGP. Till is an 80-proof, glycerin-free vodka made with Kansas wheat, whose flavor is faintly present in the clear, crisp spirit.
Launched in the summer of 2018 alongside its barrel-proof brother, Rossville pays tribute to Whiskey City's original inhabitant. Its contents are a minimum four years old and bottled at 94 proof. Its main notes are soft vanilla, caramel, and honey, with a lightly spiced finish and a cool, clean character.
The barrel-proof Rossville ups the ante to a cask-strength 112.6 proof. It's an unsurprisingly bold and warming spirit, with notes of cherry and stone fruit and a respectable serving of rye heat at the finish.
Remus is a high-rye bourbon with a mash bill of 75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley, aged for a minimum of four years and bottled at 94 proof. It has a soft, round body with plenty of honey and vanilla and a detectable rye kick.
No two releases of Repeal Reserve will ever be alike. Series II is a blend of four high-rye bourbons laid down in 2007 and 2008, and the whiskey is bottled at 100 proof. It possesses a chewy, fudge-like core with plenty of caramel, and a spice-charged, slow-burn finish.

Fine weather and affordability have contributed to the Portuguese capital's soaring popularity in recent years.
We step through the airport's sliding doors into Lisbon's balmy early evening.
It is a city famous for its light. As well as boasting more sunny days than most European cities, Lisbon has a giant mirror — the river Tagus reflects rays onto surrounding hills, whose buildings and pavements bounce back in turn to create a glowing basin of sorts. And we arrive just in time to catch the last of it.
I'm here with a friend who spends a good deal of time in Portugal each year but even he seems surprised by the city's sudden popularity.
Trying to book accommodation a few days earlier, the website had informed us that 97 per cent was unavailable … peak season should have ended a month and a half ago. "It's been like this all year," our taxi driver responds when I question him about it. I suppose it makes sense. Portugal has been popping up on various 'best destination' lists over the last few years. Apart from the good weather, affordability has been cited for its rising popularity compared with European cities.
Often likened to San Francisco for its trams and lookalike bridge (the Ponte 25 de April), Rome for its seven hills and Rio de Janeiro for its version of Christ the Redeemer, (the Cristo Rei) don't be fooled into thinking that Lisbon lacks originality, for there's plenty about the capital that's unique.
Admiring the city from one of its "miradouros" or viewpoints is a must and we begin our first day doing just this, drinking coffee beneath the pines at Miradouro da Graca. Between all the whitewash and terracotta, pastel-coloured buildings pop up, as if someone has sprinkled a packet of giant dolly mixtures over the streets below. We spy Castelo de Sao Jorge. The castle was a fortification for the Romans, Visigoths and later the Moors until captured by Portugal's first king, Afonso Henriques in 1147.
In Baixa we stroll along the tiles of the main shopping street, Rua Augusta towards the giant triumphal arch at the end. Constructed after the devastating earthquake of 1755, the arch symbolises the city's resilience and rebirth. Passing beneath, we arrive at Lisbon's largest plaza, the Praca do Comercio,near the river. People are drawn to the Tagus; bars and cafes buzz as we walk along and we pass rows of deckchairs in which people sit, watching the water like a silver screen. "More wine?" asks our waitress, already pouring the vinho verde into my glass.
As if you'd refuse! The "green wine" (named not for its colour but for its young age) is going down well with the char-grilled tiger prawns and salsa. We're seated at a bar overlooking one of the live cooking stations at Time Out Lisboa's busy food hall. The city's oldest market, Mercado da Ribiera was transformed by Time Out in 2014 into its first marketplace venture.
Curated by the guide's journalists and critics, the aim to create a destination combining the finest local produce with some of the best talents in town has worked. The market is extremely popular with tourists and Lisboans alike.
Of course, there's the wealth of history and art you'd expect in any great European city. In Belem, where great Portuguese explorers like Vasco da Gama departed for their voyages of discovery, you'll find iconic attractions such as the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Belem tower and Jeronimos Monastary. Not to mention that the area is also the birthplace of the famous pastel da nata! (Portuguese custard tart). The National Museum of Ancient Art holds the largest number of national treasures; the Calouste Gulbenkian collection contains works by Rembrandt, Renoir and Monet and the Berardo museum is a must for lovers of modern and contemporary art, including works by Warhol, Dali, Duchamp and Jackson Pollock.
But if you really want to get a feel for what makes Lisbon special, I'll let you in on a little secret...Lisbon's heart beats from its back streets. The lifeblood of Lisbon flows not from its arterial main roads but from its network of capillary-like laneways.
Stepping back in time over the cobbles of medieval Alfama, we disappear into one of the candle-lit Fado bars to eat seafood, drink rich port and listen to the melancholy ballads of the traditional singers. And even though we might not understand the words, there is an intimacy of expression here that needs no translation.
In once-neglected Mouraria, we duck down side streets to wander about the most multi-ethnic neighbourhood of the city and we smell the spices of "little India" long before we see the row of grocery stores and Bengali restaurants. In the early evening, sounds of family life drift from open doorways, workers pull up plastic chairs to share a story and a cigarette, lovers steal kisses in the shadows and groups of friends sit together on steps leading up the steep hill towards the castle.


People who own a portion of their residential property through a Shared Ownership Scheme – be it either a Government backed Help to Buy Shared Ownership scheme or a similar scheme provided by a local housing association – may wish to increase their share of ownership in the property by purchasing additional equity. This is known as "staircasing".
Most leases of Shared Ownership homes allow a property owner/occupier to buy extra shares after you have made your initial purchase. You can choose to go up another step on the home ownership ladder by buying further shares, or in most cases you can purchase all the remaining shares (but not all; some will only allow you to purchase up to 80% of shares). Staircasing will also have the effect of reducing the rent that is payable on a property.
Shares in the property will be sold at the current market value, disregarding any improvements to your home that your landlord has consented to. As such, an up to date impartial Valuation is required in the form of a Property Valuation Report. As the other equity in the property is owned by a public body, it is a requirement for the Valuation Report to be produced by an independent RICS Registered Valuer. A report from an estate agent or one carried out on behalf of a mortgage lender will not be accepted.
For all of the Valuations we conduct, including those for staircasing of shared ownership properties, follow a thorough process and the resulting Valuation Report is both professional and impartial.
Lea Hough have acted for many applicants wanting to increase their equity share in a property by staircasing. All of our work in this area is conducted by Chartered Surveyors and RICS Registered Valuers and as such, our reports are fully compliant with requirements.
For more information on our services in relation to staircasing or to obtain a quote for a Valuation Report, please get in touch.


Salon owner Amanda Pogue has always enjoyed making people feel beautiful. With over 12 years experience in the hair & makeup industry, her passion for the beauty industry & love of creating hair & makeup art, along with her ability to be a great listener is what keeps her clients coming back.
I was planning my wedding from out of town (I'm from KC originally), and she was very responsive via email and phone. She helped me plan how long we would need to do everyone's hair, which factored into our timeline for the day-of the wedding. I came in town for a weekend, and we did a trial run at her salon near Oak Park Mall. I had a few suggestions, and she was very receptive and it turned out exactly how I wanted.
On the day of my wedding, Amanda went onsite and she did my hair just as we'd practiced, and she also did a great job on my bridesmaid's and my mom's and aunt's hair. They had hair ranging from long and straight, to medium length and curly, to short, and she was able to style everyone's hair as requested and to suit their hair type and preferences. I'd highly recommend Amanda and Jolie Carrillo-Allen, the makeup artist she often works with!
Amanda did a fantastic job on my wedding hair and make up! She was attentive to what I wanted, respected my style, and was willing to change anything if it wasn't just what I wanted. She was easy to work with, which is a huge plus amidst the craziness of wedding plans, and she made scheduling and everything else easy. I would definitely recommend her!
Amanda was absolutely AMAZING. She did hair for me, my 5 bridesmaids, the mother of the groom and my aunt. Her work is flawless & spectacular, and made each girl feel so pretty.
I was particularly thrilled with her work on my hair - she did two looks for me ... one for photos/ceremony and another for the reception ... I received rave compliments on both. She is wonderful, always on-time and such a pleasure to work with.

HighPoint Advisors, LLC offers estate planning services to help older adults in Syracuse plan for the division of their assets after they pass away. This process can be intimidating to many, but our dedicated financial advisors will help you through every step of the process.
Estate planning involves creating a plan for the division of a person's assets after death. The goal is to eliminate uncertainties over who should inherit the person's assets. Estate planning helps determine how and when assets will be managed if the person becomes unable to manage them himself/herself, how assets will be distributed after death, and how end-of-life decisions should be made if the person becomes unable to care for himself/herself.
Estate planning involves more than just writing a will. It also takes into account financial, tax, business, and medical matters, as well as end-of-life care.
Everyone needs to create a plan for their estate, regardless of its size. Designating a loved one to manage financial and healthcare decisions, should you become unable to do so, is a major part of estate planning. It's important to talk to your loved ones with a financial advisor or lawyer to discuss the estate planning process. Creating a plan now can save your family a lot of stress and heartache after you pass away.
Estate planning can be difficult to think about, but there are a number of benefits that will help put your mind at ease. You will maintain control of your property and assets even after you pass away by indicating what you want to do with them. You control your end-of-life care, so that if you are unable to care for yourself, you receive the type of treatment you'd like to have.
Also, many families end up in court fighting over their loved ones' assets because he or she hadn't created a will before passing away. Things like this can tear families apart. Creating an estate plan now will keep your loved ones safe from emotional stress, court costs, and other issues.
When you schedule a consultation with a financial advisor, we'll spend time getting to know you, your financial situation, and your goals for your estate.
