#RateYourRegisterOffice
Mixed-sex civil partnerships want to do things differently. That's the key message behind our survey, asking mixed-sex couples to rate their experience of civil partnership registrations over the last year. Almost 77% of respondents chose the simple statutory 'no frills' registration in a working office with no vows and only the two witnesses present. This represents a huge shift change from both marriage and same-sex civil partnership.
Whilst all register offices must offer the simple option for registration, it has been a minority option for the existing legal relationships of marriage and same-sex civil partnerships. A further 14% of respondents to the survey complain that it is offered so infrequently or at such unfriendly times, that they were not able to take advantage of it; This correlates to the 14% of respondents who told us that they were not able to have the simple registration that they wanted.
The survey also highlighted the need for greater understanding of civil partnerships from registrars and register office staff. A regular complaint was terminology – couples objected to being called bride and groom with the registration referred to as a wedding. Complaints were also received about both websites and communications not being updated to include mixed-sex civil partnerships and no promotion of the simple registration on websites.
The news for register offices is not all bad. A total of 143 individual register offices were cited in the responses and scored across 5 different areas. 33 of these received perfect scores and over 100 received an average of 80% or above, indicating that on the whole, register offices have adapted well to the new legal relationship.
A further ground for celebration is the lengths to which registrars have gone to make registrations special even under restrictions. Respondents told us of emergency civil partnerships carried out prior to lockdown, guests face-timing in and windows being opened to allow guests outside to listen.
ECP campaign director, Fiona Millar, said "After so many years of campaigning, we are delighted that so many couples have had the registration they want. There is still work to be done, however. Our main ask would be for register offices to understand that the simple registration is going to be ever more popular and to offer greater flexibility and choice of times around it."

Law Commission Consultation on Weddings Law
As we have previously reported the Law Commission are conducting a consultation on potential changes to weddings law (sic). Many of the proposals will affect civil partnerships, mixed and same-sex, and we have spoken to both the Law Commission and the General Equalities Office who have confirmed that there is an 'assumed overlap' between regulations for marriage and civil partnerships. The Law Commission are very keen to hear the views of the civil partnership community and have asked for our help in publicising the consultation.
Law Commission Consultation
After you have completed the opening obligatory segment https://consult.justice.gov.uk/law-commission/weddings/consultation/intro/ feel free to answer as few or as many questions as you wish. We think that couples wanting or who have had a mixed-sex civil partnership will be particularly interested in looking at the following areas.
Chapter 4 – Preliminaries – how and when to give notice https://consult.justice.gov.uk/law-commission/weddings/consultation/subpage.2020-06-25.9417192246/
Chapter 7 – Location, relaxing the rules on where registration can take place https://consult.justice.gov.uk/law-commission/weddings/consultation/subpage.2020-04-29.4120981016/
Q67, Chapter 11 – Special types of wedding, looking at how to manage in future national emergencies https://consult.justice.gov.uk/law-commission/weddings/consultation/subpage.2020-06-29.6847463031/
You might also be interested in Chapter 12 Fees https://consult.justice.gov.uk/law-commission/weddings/consultation/subpage.2020-05-01.5140518453/ and Chapter 13 Impacts https://consult.justice.gov.uk/law-commission/weddings/consultation/subpage.2020-06-30.0412691154/
We hope to send an ECP response on behalf of the campaign so do please let us know your views in any of the areas in which you feel strongly. Please email us at hello@equalcivilpartnerships.org.uk and mark the subject as Law Commission Consultation

Become a regular supporter of ECP and receive a gift from us
We have made no secret of the fact that, since the Bill completed its passage in 2019, making mixed-sex civil partnerships legal in England and Wales (shortly followed by Northern Ireland), we are no longer able to access grants or funding from charities.
The law has been passed but we continue to see the need for our support in the ECP community. We act as a help-desk to resolve queries; we act with the authority of a campaigning body to resolve issues on your behalf – with register offices or financial companies who do not recognise CPs as equal to marriage; we ensure a high profile in the media, continuing to educate about civil partnerships and secure their legacy; we operate the witness registration scheme which has proved so popular; we celebrate your civil partnerships and continue to build a supportive community.
Sign up today to give us a regular gift and you will receive some of our new ECP merch for free!
We do all this with one part-time paid member of staff. With funding low, we will arrive at the point where we cannot continue to offer these services.
If you value what we are doing, please help us to continue. We need your support to help us to continue to raise awareness of mixed-sex civil partnerships and to help couples to have the registration to which they are entitled.
Your chance to help other couples have the registration they want
We are asking supporters to sign up to commit a regular sum each month. If you have benefited or plan to benefit from what we do, please do consider a regular donation. In return we will send a thank-you gift of our specially branded ECP merchandise.

167 Mixed-sex civil partnerships on New Year's Eve
It truly was #ADateToCelebrate! ONS figures for 2019 have confirmed that 167 couples formed a mixed-sex civil partnership on 31st December 2019.
The latest figures on civil partnerships for 2019, released by the ONS, reveal that the number of same-sex civil partnership has maintained a slight increase in popularity. Nearly 1000 same-sex couples registered their civil partnership during the year, an increase of 4% on 2018. We offer our congratulations to them all.
To our trailblazers, the lucky couples who managed to secure a New Year's Eve registration, we give our hugest congratulations as a campaign. We celebrate with you all.
Law Commission Review
The Law Commission, at the behest of the Government is conducting a review of how marriages (sic) can be reviewed and modernised to reflect a changing world and to offer more choice.
There are three key areas which we have been given to understand will affect civil partnerships as well as marriages
Provision in case of future national emergency
We'd love to hear the views of the ECP community so email us with your thoughts on hello@equalcivilpartnerships.org.uk
Giving Notice – suggestions for change include
Requirement to be resident for 7 days before giving notice to be abolished
Notice period to be started by giving notice on form and face to face interview to be carried out during notice period, not starting it
Ability for face to face interviews to be carried out remotely.
Venue – Suggestions for change include
Removing restrictions on venues so that, in theory, they can be allowed anywhere
Specific areas mentioned are homes, gardens, outdoors, on inland waters, in the air
Removing current restriction that venue has to be regularly available to public (eg hotel, museum)
Provision for future National emergency – Suggestions for change include
Removing the 12 month expiry of notice period until after the end of the emergency so couples do not have to pay/give notice again
Giving notice and/or Registration being able to be carried out remotely
Use of venues cited in the venue change section to offer safer environments (eg outside)
We'd love to know what you think! Send us your views on these proposals to hello@equalcivilpartnerships.org.uk
Become Regular Supporter of ECP with Direct Debit Scheme
Whilst the right to have a civil partnership for mixed-sex couples has been gained, the campaign continues. We continue to fight to ensure that register offices recognise and treat registrations as a separate but equal relationship to marriage and to tackle organisations on your behalf to ensure legal and financial parity with marriage.
We rely solely on donations now to continue our work and are grateful for any financial support that you can give. To enable us to plan in the longer term and to know that we have a secure funding stream, we have set up several direct debit options which allows supporters to commit to a regular monthly sum.
Become a regular supporter at £5/month
Become a special supporter at £10/month
Become a patron at £20/month
Donate one-off sum
Witness Registration Scheme Open
Provision of witnesses is a question that frequently comes up on our channels and before lockdown we were able to help some couples to find witnesses from our community. As civil partnerships can once be registered, we have created a witness database so that we can more quickly match people to location and availability as needed.
We know that many couples planning a civil partnership only want the simplest registration and for many reasons choose to have civil partnership supporting 'strangers' rather than having to select from family and friends. We have frequently received messages wishing that provision of witnesses could be done by the register office itself. It can't – but we can help!
If, for any reason, you would like us to help you find one or two witnesses for your registration, please send us details of your request.
Witness Request
If you are able to help and would like to be on a witness database, please provide us with details of your location and normal availability. You don't need to have had or to be planning your own civil partnership as long as you are sympathetic! Let us know whether you are normally able to provide one or two witnesses.
Witness Register
As ever, we are only able to continue to provide these services through the generosity of our supporters. If you benefit from our witness registration scheme, please do consider donating any sum you are able to.
New way to donate to campaign
We absolutely hate having to ask our supporters for donations but the simple truth is that we no longer have access to the grants which, together with generous contributions from you all via GoFundMe and CrowJustice, have sustained the campaign for the past few years.
As we move forward, embedding mixed-sex civil partnerships into the fabric of UK life and ensuring our supporters enjoy the registration and the legal security they want, we do need continued financial support to keep the campaign running.
That is why we have created an additional method for supporters to donate easily and regularly. If you are able to commit to a monthly donation of £10, please consider using our new direct debit option – sign up here
Direct Debit Sign Up
If you prefer to make a single donation, please donate here.
GoFundMe Donation
However and how much you donate, be assured we are very grateful as are all the couple who have been able to have a mixed-sex civil partnership so far and all those who plan to in the future.

Galatasaray – Real Madrid
Fabio Coentrao's Real Madrid is going to clash with Galatasaray once again, in the second leg of the Champions League quarter finals.
In the first match, Galacticos won easily over Galatasaray, with 3-0. There are fans who are looking for sites where to get Soccer betting odds for this match. Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gonzalo Higuain scored for Real Madrid in the first match, and it's expected from them to do it again in the second match too.
Most Real Madrid fans expect yet another easy win for The Galacticos, but this time, they're going to Istanbul, where the Galatasaray fans are going to give all their best to make the Turkish champions win.
Line-ups for the match tomorrow should probably look like this:
Galatasaray:
Eboué • Kaya • Zan • Riera
Altıntop • Sneijder
İnan
Drogba • Bulut
Real Madrid:
Arbeloa • Varane • Pepe • Coentrão
Khedira • Modrić
María • Özil • Ronaldo
Higuaín
Although, his team practically ensured it's pass in the semi-finals, Jose Mourinho will probably bring out his best team (players) available, just like Fatih Terim. This match is going to be very interesting and pleasing to watch, and noone would like to miss it.

Coentrao training with his teammates at UCLA
The 25 footballers in Los Angeles combined physical training and ball work; the second training session of the day will start at two o' clock in the morning (17:00 local time)
Real Madrid began their training in the United States with a demanding session. Manager José Mourinho led a training session at the UCLA campus facilities in which both physical training and ball work played a leading role. Casillas, Ramos, Albiol, Arbeloa, Xabi Alonso, Cristiano Ronaldo, Coentrão, Pepe, Özil and Khedira, the ten Real Madrid players who reached the semi-finals of the European Championship in Ukraine and Poland, trained for the first time alongside their other squad members. The second training session of the day for the 25 footballers that have travelled to Los Angeles will begin at 02:00 (17:00 local time).
Real Madrid's third pre-season in the United States under José Mourinho got off to a strong start. After the technical chat that is commonplace in the Portuguese's training sessions, Real Madrid endured a demanding session in which both physical training and ball work played a leading role. Warm-ups and muscle strengthening exercises then led to teamwork with the ball.
Whilst Higuaín, Di María, Lass, Granero, Varane and Callejón trained with recovery expert Carlos Lalín, the remaining 16 footballers available to José Mourinho in the session were divided into four groups of four to play in several small matches on smaller sized pitches and then moved on to dribbling drills laid out on the grass. The goalkeepers Casillas, Adán and Jesús worked alongside goalkeeping coach Silvino Louro. (realmadrid.com)

Queensland to reopen border to ACT | Australia news
5.03am EDT 05:03
What happened on Friday 18 September
NSW deputy premier John Barilaro taking mental health leave
Friday so far
Music festivals could be held in WA
That's it for our live coverage of the coronavirus and other big developments for today. Thanks for being with us.
Our live coverage of the global pandemic is available if you haven't had enough. The UK could be facing a second national lockdown. Global cases have gone above 30 million.
Here's what happened in Australia today:
Victoria reported another five Covid-19 deaths, all linked to aged care. There were 45 new cases reported, with the 14-day rolling average at 42.7 new cases in Melbourne.
NSW reported six new cases, but five were returning travellers. The one locally acquired case was linked to a cluster at Liverpool Hospital.
Queensland's border will reopen to people from the ACT from 25 September. Queensland had no new cases today.
NSW deputy premier John Barilaro is taking four weeks leave to look after his mental health after a tumultuous 10 days.
NSW, Queensland and WA will let more people into hotel quarantine to boost the national cap on arrivals from 4,000 to 6,000 a week. Labor Senator Penny Wong said the move didn't go far enough. There are 24,000 Australians stuck overseas.
Prime minister Scott Morrison said Australia was looking again at a trans-Tasman travel bubble, where New Zealanders could come into Australia without quarantine.
Also out of today's national cabinet, Morrison said the federal government wanted to connect all state and territory contact tracing, creating one system.
Stay safe all. Graham Readfearn signing off. Wash your hands and don't touch your face.
at 5.22am EDT
The Morrison government will be down a number in the lower house when parliament returns in October, with the resignation of Queensland Liberal National party MP John McVeigh triggering a by-election.
McVeigh, the member for Groom in Queensland's Toowoomba region, said today he would leave parliament for family health reasons.
Groom is a very safe LNP seat so the government is unlikely to have its numbers reduced once the by-election is held.
The number of people attending parliament in person has already been down because of Covid-19, so there has been greater reliance on pairing arrangements. That is when the government and opposition agree to "pair" certain politicians who won't be in attendance so that the outcome of votes is unaffected.
It's understood there won't be a pair for a vacant seat because there's no one to pair with – so the government will be down a number in the upcoming sittings, including the budget week. However this is unlikely to make any major difference on any substantive votes.
The speaker, Tony Smith, said he had received McVeigh's resignation letter and was considering possible dates for the by-election.
In a statement earlier today, Scott Morrison said it was a difficult time for McVeigh and he wanted to "wish him, Anita and their family all the best, and for Anita to continue on her road to recovery with John by her side".
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian says she has offered her support to deputy premier John Barilaro, who told his colleagues this afternoon he was taking time off to look after his mental health.
Berejiklian has said in a statement:
This afternoon deputy premier John Barilaro advised me he would take four weeks of personal leave. I have offered him any support he may need. I wish John and his family all the best during this time.
The Bureau of Meteorology is warning that parts of northwestern regional Victoria could be hit by severe thunderstorms and potential flash flooding tomorrow.
Remembering people in regional Victoria are enjoying their first weekend of eased coronavirus restrictions, they might have to head indoors in some places.
The bureau has issued a severe weather warning for Saturday over the Grampians and central ranges, with wind gusts of up to 100km/h possible.
Locations which may be affected include Stawell, Ararat, Kyneton, Ballarat and Daylesford, Victoria's state emergency services said.

The NSW Nationals leader, John Barilaro, will take mental health leave from parliament immediately following the last fortnight's tumultuous near-split with his Liberal Coalition partners over koala protections.
Barilaro told his party room colleagues by text message this afternoon that he will take up to four weeks leave to work on his mental health.
The text apologised for not being the leader they wanted him to be but added that he would not have acted differently on the issue.
He said some of the party room knew of "his struggles" and he intended to work on these issues during the break.
His leave is likely to act as a circuit breaker on the crisis within the Coalition.
Barilaro's deputy, Paul Toole, will have carriage of the negotiations with the premier Gladys Berejiklian over the terms of the koala habitat protections state environmental planning policy. It is due to be discussed in cabinet on 6 October.

Queensland's chief health officer Dr Jeanette Young says they have retested sewage at a Hervey Bay wastewater treatment plant for covid-19, and the test has come back negative.
Queensland Health, the University of Queensland and CSIRO have a pilot research project to test sewage for traces of covid-19.
The project had previously detected covid-19 at the Hervey Bay plant. The new result didn't mean the previous one was wrong, she said.
While the fragments indicate someone was shedding the virus, this can occur for several weeks after the person is no longer infectious and the fragments themselves are not infectious.
Melbourne's "ring of steel" is causing long lines of cars.
AAP reports traffic delays on the road to Geelong, where police and ADF are checking Melburnians don't try to take advantage of an easing of coronavirus restrictions in regional Victoria.
Footage from a TV network helicopter at the Little River checkpoint shows a line 20 kilometres long.
On Thursday, assistant commissioner Rick Nugent said police would try to keep delays at checkpoints to 30 minutes.
Melburnians risk a fine of almost $5,000 if they try to travel to regional Victoria without a valid reason.
Senator Penny Wong, Labor's foreign affairs spokesperson, is talking to the ABC and she's not interested in giving the prime minister, Scott Morrison, any credit for raising the caps on international arrivals.
She's saying Morrison was "dragged" to the agreement with the states because of bad publicity driven by people stranded overseas.
Morrison and the government had been "pretty focused on having a go at state governments" and the extra 1,500 arrivals to be staged over the coming weeks was not enough.
Wong said it wasn't right that the caps should be shared responsibility, and that it was the government, and not states, who were responsible for borders and quarantine. She said:
He was always very keen to tell us how he'd stop the boats.
Wong also wanted to see all aircraft options "on the table", including government jets and charter flights, to get stranded Australians back in the country.
Queensland's deputy premier, Steven Miles, didn't miss the chance to sell the state as a tourism destination to Canberrans after lifting the border closure to the ACT.
Time to head to Queensland for a holiday and maybe visit the reef, he said.

Qatar Airways has welcomed the National Cabinet's agreement to ease the strict international passenger arrival caps.
In a statement released shortly after Scott Morrison announced New South Wales, Western Australia and Queensland had agreed to each take 500 more weekly arrivals by the middle of October, the airline has said it "remains committed" to the Australian market.
In recent weeks, Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar Al Baker has said the caps, which have been set at about 4000 nationally per week, threatened the viability of Australian routes, and acknowledged the airline was prioritising business class and more expensive passengers to cover their costs under the caps.
Al Baker said:
"We are pleased to see the announcement by the Australian Government that it will increase the cap on international arrivals to Australia allowing more Australians to be reunited with their families and loved ones.
Qatar Airways has always maintained a long-term commitment to Australia and our support to Australian passengers has not waivered despite the challenges of Covid-19.
Due to the cap on international passengers, travelling to Australian destinations, based on limitations of quarantine facilities, currently Qatar Airways can carry a limited number of passengers per day to all of its Australia destinations, resulting in thousands of Australian citizens and residents being unable to be accommodated on flights. Despite the challenges, Qatar Airways is operating a robust Australian network."
It's been a national cabinet day which means it's been a busy day of announcements on Covid-19. Here's what's happened so far:
NSW reported six new cases but five were returning travellers. The one locally-acquired case was linked to a cluster at Liverpool hospital.
Queensland's border will re-open to people from the ACT from 25 September. Queensland had no new cases today.
Prime minister Scott Morrison announced that caps on overseas arrivals would be raised, but the increases of 1,500 per week would be staged over the coming weeks across the NSW, Queensland and WA. There were 24,000 Australians stuck overseas.
Morrison said Australia was looking again at a trans-Tasman travel bubble, where New Zealanders could come into Australia without quarantine.
Also out of national cabinet, Morrison said the federal government wanted to connect all state and territory contact tracing, creating one system.
Afternoon all and thanks to Naaman Zhou. We'll recap the day shortly as there's been plenty going on.
But before that, a little more from WA premier Mark McGowan's press conference from a few minutes ago.
McGowan said a third of the jobs created across the country in August had been in his state and he wanted to "continue on this trajectory" and keep the state's economy moving.
But he said he had asked Neville Power, the chairman of the national Covid-19 commission board, to talk to some national companies that he said were still asking their WA staff to work from home.
This is where institutions have national policies for conditions in Sydney and Melbourne that are not applicable here.
I'll be handing the blog over to Graham Readfearn now, who will take you through the rest of the day.
McGowan is now addressing the lifting of arrivals caps, announced earlier today.
He says that the federal government initially wanted the state to double its intake of returned Australians by 28 September, which he refused.
He said that lifting the cap "overnight" would have been "reckless".
WA has now agreed to a staggered system where they will gradually increase the number of arrivals, starting with 200 on 28 September, rising to 500 on 12 October.
"We have been asking for federal government support, given quarantine is a federal government responsibility under the constitution. However, the federal government is of the view that states need to continue to manage quarantine."
McGowan says that WA may also need to delay some elective surgery across the state, as more medical staff are deployed to hotel quarantine.
"I'm glad the federal government agreed to provide more Australian Defence Force support and adjust the earlier decision."
He adds that WA has received 4031 international passengers so far, which he says is the second highest number of overseas arrivals of any state.
The WA premier, Mark McGowan, is speaking now.
He says that under eased restrictions, outdoor events and music festivals could go ahead, if they have approved safety plans.
"Events like the Wave Rock festival, Spring in the Valley, and suburban and regional shows can now go ahead with Covid safety plans".

Also in sport, Melbourne Storm player Christian Welch has said he is "incredibly remorseful" for a Covid-19 rule breach.
Welch is in isolation and is awaiting the results of a Covid-19 test after he invited an unregistered guest to his room overnight on the Sunshine Coast, AAP reports. The prop will now miss the Storm's Saturday night match against the Wests Tigers.
From midnight, Melbourne players and staff were free of strict quarantine "bubble" conditions, given it had been two weeks since they'd played a team from NSW.
However it's believed the woman, who was stopped by police as she departed, had arrived before that deadline while she wasn't on registered guest list.
"I'm incredibly remorseful and sorry for my actions," Welch said in a statement. "I love this game and everything it has given me and I'm shattered that I have let everyone down.
"Calling my parents to let them know about this was the worst phone call I've ever made. I know it's a privilege to play in the NRL and I want to apologise to all for any damage I have caused."
The Storm briefed the NRL Integrity Unit and Queensland government early on Friday once notified of the breach, which is their first since relocating from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast in July.
Chief executive Dave Donaghy said he spoke to Queensland's chief health officer Dr Jeannette Young on Friday who assured him there was very low risk of Covid-19 transmission among the community.
The club expects the results of Welch's test in 24 hours.
"We're confident the test won't come back anything other than negative but it has to go through a process," Donaghy said.
Storm and Welch will now await the findings of the NRL Integrity Unit, with the 26-year-old facing a potential fine.

The roots of the protestant church in Czech countries go back to the Bohemian reformation in the 15th century. But the severe counterreformation in the later centuries has interrupted its continuity. In 1918, when the state of Czechoslovakia came into existence, the two churches, the larger Reformed and the smaller Luth church, which had been artificially separated from one another, decided to unite and to form the Evangelical Church of the Czech Brethren, which has been and still is a minority church within the secular society. In 1919, a Theological Faculty was established outside Charles University (first called Hus Faculty and, later, Comenius Faculty). Theological thinking was influenced by J. L. Hromádka (1889-1969). At the time of World War II part of the church was involved in resistance against the German occupation. During the period of communist regime 1948-1989 all churches were under the pressure, but ?CE always did try to develop the dialogue, which was best possible and stimulating during the 1960s.Since the demise of communism in 1989 is the church faced with new challenges. Many diaconal projects have been started, a number of pastors are involved in the public pastoral care in the public medias, in the military service and others. The theological Faculty has been incorporated into Charles University like The Evangelical Theological faculty. The ecumenical cooperation has been widely developed.
The church also recognizes the Bohemian Confession (1535) and the Czech Confession (1575).

1 ground school, 4 schools for social and medical workers and 1 musical school.

George Washington Is Elected President
On this day in 1789, 69 members of Congress cast their ballots to elect George Washington the first president of the United States.
As the former leader of the Continental Army and chairman of the Continental Congress, Washington possessed the necessary credentials for the presidency, if not the enthusiasm. After months of appearing to sidestep, and even outright rejecting the idea of assuming the presidency, Washington reluctantly accepted Congress' decision. Runner-up John Adams became Washington's vice president.
Washington's reluctance stemmed in part from the fact that becoming president would place him squarely in the middle of a raging legislative debate regarding the character of the new government, a conflict that persisted to the end of his second term. Washington dreaded presiding over a fragile young nation that already appeared to be dividing along partisan lines. He also expressed concern over his advancing age. In his memoirs, he wrote that on the eve of his inauguration he felt more like a culprit who is going to the place of his execution than a national hero. His letters at the time reveal his trepidation and reluctant sense of duty. Nevertheless, he knew he had earned the nation's trust and respect while leading the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War and that it was now relying on him once again.
Washington's humility meshed well with the new nation's democratic sensibilities. Fearing any comparison to the monarchal government from which American had just been liberated, an aging Washington took care to avoid any physical or symbolic references to European monarchs from the beginning of his term, including ordering his tailor to make his inauguration suit out of simple broadcloth. (Later on, as he settled in to the presidency, Washington took to wearing slightly more presidential black velvet.) When the Senate proposed that he be called by the official title His Highness the President of the United States of America and the Protector of Their Liberties, an embarrassed Washington opted for the more modest address of Mr. President.
The first Mr. President embarked on a week-long journey from his estate at Mount Vernon to his inauguration in New York without his wife, Martha, who chose to stay at home. During a presidency in which the role of the president was still evolving and under constant scrutiny, Washington periodically revealed his longing for a return to a more relaxed life at his beloved Mount Vernon and still managed to keep close tabs on the farm, sending detailed instructions for the estate's maintenance.

The lack of lifejacket use continues to be the biggest reason the Bay of Plenty Regional Council Harbourmaster team has to interact with boat users.
Since Labour Weekend at the end of October patrols have spoken with more than 11,000 people on 3,500 vessels and with the three-day Anniversary Weekend looming, Harbourmaster Jon Jon Peters says there's no excuse not to wear a lifejacket.
"Research shows that about two thirds of recreational boating deaths might have been prevented if people were wearing their lifejackets," Mr Peters says.
"Make sure that lifejackets are the correct size, in good condition and suitable for the type of boating you do."
Mr Peters says the warm summer and largely settled weather has seen a nearly 50 percent growth in on-water users compared to last year.
Speeding craft and vessels that weren't registered were the reasons for most of the breaches being issued.
Boats must not exceed 5 knots within 200 metres of the shore, a structure or dive flag; and within 50 metres of another boat, raft or person in the water.

Most offers to pay by cashiers check or money order are attempts at fraud, and any such offer should raise a red flag immediately.

← Oscar Re-Do: 2001
Second Chance Cinema: Lars and the Real Girl (2007) →
Oscar Guide 2012
Pencils down. The awards are handed out tonight, and that'll be it. I'll be live-tweeting, starting around 7:30 CST. But for now, I'll break down the eight major categories, and give my projections in the remaining sixteen.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
Believe it or not, the race here is closer than you might think. Despite dominating the conversation while failing to light the indie box office world on fire, The Artist victory is assured by every blogger, critic and pundit. But you know what's within a few votes of winning? The Help. It won at the SAG awards and the acting branch is by far the biggest voting bloc within the Academy. You say it can't happen? Tell that to Crash, Shakespeare in Love and Driving Miss Daisy. Granted, a win for The Help goes against three decades of statistics, since no movie has won without a nod for Best Film Editing since Ordinary People (1980). But I'd say it's neck-and-neck. Unfortunately, there's no chance for my choice, the bold, visionary, heartbreaking Tree of Life. But its nomination ensures there's still hope.
Will win: The Artist
Could win: The Help
Should win: The Tree of Life
Should have been here: Drive
Michael Hazanavicius, The Artist
Alexander Payne, The Descendants
Martin Scorsese, Hugo
Woody Allen, Midnight in Paris
Terrence Malick, The Tree of Life
This one definitely is locked up. And since the director's name doesn't appear alongside the film in this category, The Artist sweep extends here as well. Also, be prepared to see Drive popping up in just about every Should Have Been Here category.
Will win: Michael Hazanavicius
Could win: Martin Scorsese
Should win: Terrence Malick
Should have been here: Nicolas Winding Refn, Drive
Demián Bichir, A Better Life
George Clooney, The Descendants
Jean Dujardin, The Artist
Brad Pitt, Moneyball
Gary Oldman, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
What an interesting race we've got. Always a stacked category, I think the Best Actor field is split more than ever before. You've got two Hollywood golden boys, a Mexican superstar, an extremely well-respected Brit getting his first nomination and a Frenchman who's charmed the pants off everyone in the last month (metaphorically, of course). So who gets the highest percentage of the votes? I say Dujardin, but just barely.
Will win: Jean Dujardin
Could win: George Clooney
Should win: Brad Pitt
Should have been here: Michael Fassbender, Shame
Glenn Close, Albert Nobbs
Viola Davis, The Help
Rooney Mara, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady
Michelle Williams, My Week with Marilyn
Streep deserves a third Oscar, and Williams and Close deserve their first, but those awards will come for better movies. So this is Davis's year, hands down, as much to make up for her unfortunate snub in 2009 (how does she lose to Penelope Cruz? How?!) as it is for her extraordinary performance.
Will and should win: Viola Davis
Could win: Meryl Streep
Should have been here: Charlize Theron, Young Adult (and Bérénice Bejo)
Kenneth Branagh, My Week with Marilyn
Jonah Hill, Moneyball
Nick Nolte, Warrior
Christopher Plummer, Beginners
Max von Sydow, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
In an effort to make this race more interesting, prognosticators have pointed to von Sydow's seeming rise, because he's also old, never won and is nominated for a role in a Best Picture nominee, while Plummer has only racked up every conceivable award. Listen, folks: it's not a race. Plummer wins, plain and simple, as he should.
Should and will win: Christopher Plummer
Could win: Max von Sydow
Should have been here: Albert Brooks, Drive
Bérénice Bejo, The Artist
Jessica Chastain, The Help
Melissa McCarthy, Bridesmaids
Janet McTeer, Albert Nobbs
Octavia Spencer, The Help
Also having it all wrapped up is Spencer should walk away with this award, too, and all just for telling Hilly Holbrook (Bryce Dallas Howard), "Eat… my… shit." Speaking of which, Melissa McCarthy dropped it in a sink and gave one of the bravest, funniest performances in recent years. If she wins, it will be a triumph for comedy, akin to Kevin Kline's victory for A Fish Called Wanda (1988). But she didn't suffer at any point, so the award as usual goes to the most put-upon character as always. I could feasibly see Chastain winning, since she was also fantastic in The Help, but also because she appeared in every other movie released in the last year.
Will win: Octavia Spencer
Could win: Jessica Chastain
Should win: Melissa McCarthy
Should have been here: Shailene Woodley, The Descendants
A Separation
Let me just say this category, for all its bold choices, makes me a little angry. The Artist, for one, has no dialogue, but also no original story. It's a nice little movie, but even if it wins Best Picture, no one will remember it for its writing. But if it pulls off a sweep, too many voters will just check it off to give it yet another award. I don't foresee that happening, though, because Midnight in Paris has a lovely script that reminds voters why they fell in love with Woody Allen so long ago. I still wish Will Reiser's highly personal, brutally honest and incredibly funny script for 50/50 would have made it in, because it wiped the floor with these other nominees.
Will and should win: Midnight in Paris
Could win: The Artist
Should have been here: 50/50
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
So which previous winner takes the gold? Will it be Alexander Payne, who won for Sideways? Will it be Steven Zaillan and Aaron Sorkin, who won for Schindler's List and The Social Network respectively? If I was voting, I'd pick the duo that humanized the science behind Moneyball. But everyone loved The Descendants more than me, so there you go. I will be happy, because that means someone from Community (Jim Rash, who co-scripted with Payne and Nat Faxon) has an award finally.
Will win: The Descendants
Could and should win: Moneyball
Check out all the other categories after the jump.
Overall Achievement Categories:

Diane Dulin, Kairos USA Director of Church Participation, addresses the workshop audience.
Connections among the 125 people in attendance at St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral in Seattle crackled with energy on Feb. 28. Representatives from about 10 Christian denominations and at least three faith traditions took part. Participants included newcomers to the issues of justice in Palestine as well as longtime activists.
The Rt. Rev. Greg Rickel, Bishop of the Diocese of Olympia (Western Washington), opened the program with stories and visual images of his recent pilgrimage to Palestine Israel. Many counted the bishop's comments among the high points of the day. He spoke eloquently about the importance of visiting the region, seeing its true realities, and meeting its people. His stories illustrated difficult dimensions of the illegal settlements in Palestine and first time visitors' learning process as they encountered Palestinian Christians some may not have known existed. Bishop Rickel's intent is to ensure all candidates for ordination within his diocese get the chance to visit Palestine Israel and meet its people.
Kairos USA staffers Mark Braverman and Diane Dulin spoke at plenary sessions. Eight action-oriented workshops were facilitated by local Seattle-area leaders.
The Seattle Kairos One-Day Workshop drew more than 120 people.
In addition to workshops on political advocacy, educational programming, responsible travel and BDS movements, others were offered to help people simply talk about the justice issues of Palestine and to express their own questions still left unanswered. A well-attended workshop focused on next steps for creating a diverse Kairos Seattle network, providing communication, connection and shared efforts among diverse organizations and denominations at work in the Seattle metropolitan area and beyond.
Outcomes are still emerging from the day. It is possible one or more Seattle Pacific University students will become college interns for the Seattle Kairos program. Exploratory conversations are taking place to consider a partnership for tangible benefit to children in Palestine.
Mark Braverman speaks to the Seattle workshop attendees.
These are still in the very beginning stages. However, should they come to fruition it will be the day spent at St. Mark's which will be considered their genesis.
Evaluations and survey comments offered by participants will allow Kairos USA to continue fine-tuning our presentations. One generous evaluation expressed high satisfaction not only for the material presented, but also for the generous hospitality provided by the local leadership team and the traditional Palestinian lunch catered by a local restaurant.

On January 20, 1879, M∴W∴ Bro. Augustine T. Smythe, the Grand Master of the Most Worshipful Grand Lodge of Ancient Free Masons of South Carolina, granted a dispensation authorizing the formation of Hampton Lodge, Under Dispensation (U.D.). The lodge continued working throughout the year completing many efforts, both administrative and Masonic, and was issued its charter, or warrant of constitution, on December 10, 1879.
Hampton Lodge No. 204 has not only added over 140 years to its own distinctive history in Florence, but has also been enriched through its consolidation with two other lodges:
Lucile Lodge No. 276, which was chartered in 1908, later consolidated with Hampton Lodge No. 204 on July 7, 1919.
Mecca Lodge No. 407, which was chartered in 1965, later consolidated with Hampton Lodge No. 204 on January 1, 2014.
The consolidation of these lodges, joined together in perfect union, constitute Hampton Lodge No. 204, A.F.M. as it exists today.

Midland Adopts Breastfeeding Friendly Policy
March 27, 2017 Comm Team
The Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit gave a presentation to Council this evening asking for public support of their "Breastfeeding Friendly Places" campaign. It seems that there is still some reluctance to accept the practice of breastfeeding in public and the presenters reported at least one local incident where a mother and baby were asked to leave the business as a result (the business was not named).
The presentation followed a submission that read "On behalf of the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit's Board of Health and staff, I am encouraging the support of your municipal government to participate in creating breastfeeding friendly places. Community support is a key factor that can influence a family's decision about whether or not to breastfeed and about how long to breastfeed.
Municipalities have the ability to develop policies and environments supportive of breastfeeding, as well as to provide leadership to local businesses and organizations to do the same, by:
Creating breastfeeding friendly policy for all municipal spaces (indoor and outdoor)
Creating breastfeeding friendly workplace policy for municipal employees
Ensuring municipal employees are informed of breastfeeding parent's rights and how to create breastfeeding friendly places
Posting signage at entrances to your buildings identifying municipal spaces as breastfeeding friendly
Breastfeeding in public is a human right legally protected by the Ontario Human Rights Code. Services provided to breastfeeding families must be provided free from discrimination. The Ontario Human Rights Code requires employers to ensure the work environment is free from discrimination related to breastfeeding and requires employers to accommodate employee needs for breastfeeding or expressing breastmilk.
Health Canada and the World Health Organization recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months and sustained breastfeeding for up to two years and beyond. SMDHU promotes the importance of breastfeeding for the nutrition, immunologic protection, growth and development of infants and children. It is also recognized that breastfeeding has positive impacts on the health of the breastfeeding parent, family economics and the environment.
In Simcoe Muskoka 91% of families initiate exclusive breastfeeding at birth but only 26.6% of families breastfeed exclusively to six months. Research suggests breastfeeding families can feel reluctant to breastfeed in public places because of embarrassment, fear of disapproval and/or lack of comfortable facilities. We know that in Simcoe Muskoka 74% of adults are supportive of breastfeeding in public, meaning that 1 out of 4 people are not supportive of breastfeeding in public.
Working together as a community can lead to increased support and encouragement for breastfeeding families.
The health unit asked Midland Council to adopt a resolution like neighbouring municipalities have done to show support and to display signage and make all Midland owned/controlled property breastfeeding friendly. The resolution to move forward passed unanimously.

One day, while Saul and his teammates are playing a game, they notice a group of "white guys" watching. After the game, Virgil tells Saul that the white people want to play the Moose. Virgil has even agreed to a match, even though the challengers were league champions last year. Saul is very reluctant to play against a white team, but eventually agrees to the game.
Saul is wary of the "white guys" because of the bullying and discrimination he has faced from white opponents in the past. However, his love for the game of hockey outweighs his reservations.
Saul makes the resolution to "bring his best game" to the upcoming match with the team of White Canadians. He's reluctant to play, but he knows the match is important to his teammates, and he vows not to let them down.
Saul is motivated not only by his love for hockey but by his loyalty to his teammates. In some ways, the Moose have become like a surrogate family, or even a surrogate tribe, for Saul.

On behalf of Handy & Handy posted in motor vehicle accidents on Friday, March 22, 2019.
This week, Volvo unveiled another part of its Vision 2020 plan, the initiative to eliminate motor vehicle fatalities caused by its products by 2020. In our last blog post, we discussed the automaker's decision to limit top speeds in its new vehicles and the company's intention to eventually address distracted and drunk driving.
Volvo released that portion of the plan on March 20, announcing they plan to monitor driving behavior in their vehicles such as distracted or drunk driving. In-car cameras would track eye movements to determine if the driver is distracted or intoxicated. Possible actions include a driver looking away for a period or not keeping their hands on the wheel.
A Volvo representative from one of the company's on-call assistance centers would call the driver to check in, and if they don't respond the car will slow and potentially stop.
Volvo would not be the first automaker to utilize in-car cameras. Cadillac uses infrared cameras that face the driver for its driver assist system Super Cruise.
That system tracks the driver's eye movements to allow "hands-free" driving, and if their eyes wander Super Cruise uses audio and vibrating alerts to get the driver's attention. GM said the camera isn't recording and that it's a video buffering feed.
Still, there is concern that privacy could diminish or be misused in the name of safety. Volvo dismissed this criticism by comparing it to the same objections raised against seatbelt laws.
How will the automotive market receive these changes? Will drivers who are likely to exhibit these behaviors avoid buying Volvos or will they utilize the technology to keep them accountable? Will the company face legal challenges regarding privacy? And ultimately, will this technological advancement reduce motor vehicle injuries and fatalities, as Volvo intends to do? Only time will tell.

Angunakolapelessa Reports Missing – Investigation Fraud Reveals
Posted on 09.04.2019 by Chandana Sirimalwatte in Local News with 0 Comments
Chairman of the Committee to Protect Prisoners' Rights, Attorney Senaka Perera says that the media was provided with false information regarding the reports prepared by the two committees appointed to investigate the assault on the inmates of the Angunukolapelessa Prison.
The Prisoners' Rights Committee lodged a complaint with the Criminal Investigation Department in January last year against the prison authorities over the alleged torture of a group of inmates of Angunakolapelessa Prison remand on October 21, 2018.
It was alleged that the inmates had been tortured in retaliation for holding protests against the superintendent.
Ministry officials issued a statement to the media saying that two three-member committees were appointed to investigate the alleged assault on the prisoners and the report was handed over to the minister in February. But in response to a query from the Ministry of Prisons under the 'Right of access to Information' Act, it was confirmed that no such reports have been released.
It is revealed that only an interim report has been submitted to the Ministry regarding the attack.
In this regard, two complaints have been made to the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka and the Minister of Justice and Prison Reforms, Thalatha Athukorala. Thereafter, following the order of the Minister of Justice and Prison Reforms, two committees were appointed to investigate the incident. As such, one three-member committee headed by the Commissioner General of Prisons Thushara Upuldeniya and another at ministerial level with Senior Assistant Secretary of the Presidential Secretariat P.M. Nanayakkara, Additional Secretary to the Ministry of Public Administration and Management D.M.M. Basnayake and Senior Assistant Secretary to the Ministry of Justice and Prison Reforms, Minister G. A. Swarnalatha, has been appointed.
Representatives of those committees issued statements to the media stating that reports of both three-member committees had been completed and handed over to the minister. However, in reply to the request made by the prison commission under the act for 'right of access to information', the ministry rejected the facts citing such reports have not been handed over.

Jim Jackson established Electronic Realty Associates,
Inc. seeing the potential for not only selling property but also capitalizing on the fresh territory of technology. This vision was reflected on ERA's name. Selling properties using the fax machine long before it became a household word.
ERA® system's growth was dramatic, with member brokers in all 50 states.
Commercial Credit Corp. (a subsidiary of Control Data Corp.) purchased ERA Real Estate, thus connecting it to the world of financial services and further establishing it in the technology industry. The same year, the ERA® system went international with the opening of ERA Japan. This was the first step in an ongoing expansion that currently embraces ERA® operations in 28 other countries and territories, where, as in Japan now, the ERA® franchise often rises to be the top real estate company.
ERA Real Estate was purchased by IMB Capital, further enhancing the stature of the brand. But landmark business achievements have never been the only way that the ERA® system measures success. The community has more than one meaning for ERA Real Estate. Just as the company has built its business from the local neighborhood to the global village, it has also built a reputation of being a good neighbor to those in need.
Marked the introduction of top training programs and ongoing awards for customer service, which help the company maintain the best-trained Sales Associates, the most satisfied customers, and the greatest business growth.
The company updated its image, while preserving its proven strategies and services, with a new logo and marketing look.
Brenda W. Casserly became ERA® President & COO, the first woman to lead a major real estate franchise network. The airwaves were alive with the ERA® message, as the system sponsored the popular nationally syndicated financial-advice radio show, "The Dolans." Services expanded into other crucial areas of the real estate transaction with the launch of ERA Mortgage. And ERA Real Estate achieved a 62 percent increase in core franchise sales for 2001, one of the most challenging years for both the nation and its businesses.
ERA Middle East & North Africa was established as a Joint Stock company in the United Arab Emirates. ERA MENA became the exclusive franchisor of ERA Trademark in the Middle East & North Africa. ERA started operating in Egypt, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, as a Joint Stock Company under the legal name of "Insight for Real Estate Smart Solutions" in Maadi, and became the master franchisor of ERA Real Estate Trademark in Egypt.
The Cendant Corporation's Real Estate Services Division became a standalone, publicly traded company operating under the name Realogy Corporation. Realogy is one of the pre-eminent and most integrated providers of real estate services in the world, and ERA Real Estate intends to fully utilize all the advantages Realogy provides in its size and scope.
ERA unveiled the "ERA Powered" program, which provides regional firms with access to the resources of a global brand while allowing them to retain their strong local identity. ERA also added larger brokers to its network under Young's tenure with five of its six largest affiliates signing up with the brand since 2009. ERA expanded in Egypt opening several new branches.
New Logo, image, and marketing material.
5 new territories joined ERA this year: Kosovo, Montenegro, Albania, Malta, and Cyprus.
ERA became a global leader in the residential real estate industry for more than 40 years. ERA Real Estate network includes 40,000 affiliated brokers and independent sales associates with approximately 2,300 offices throughout the United States and 34 other countries and territories.ERA Franchise Systems, LLC, which operates the ERA Real Estate system, is a subsidiary of Realogy Holdings Corp. (NYSE: RLGY), a global provider of real estate services.
