Just a quick note sharing a couple of things which we are praising God for right now!
1 – Before embarking on a brand new cultural experience, we enjoyed a familiar one here in Pella this past weekend – Tulip Time! The weather was most accommodating, the food was delicious and abundant, and there were some beautiful tulips to admire yet. We are thankful for family time as we klomped around town together.
2 – We have already made friends in Nairobi! In January, friends introduced us (via email and the like) to a family serving there with AIM. They have four sons, also homeschool, and have been in Kenya since July 2015. It has been a delight to get to know the Blohm family a bit through my messages back and forth with EJ, and she has patiently and thoroughly answered what probably feels like millions of my questions!
3 – We have plane tickets! Our official departure date is July 7th, which is only 59 days away!
Lots of awesome news! Praising God along with you for His abundant provision!
Thanks for the update. It’s all coming so quickly now. Praying for excitement, patience and provision as you prepare, trusting that God with provide in so many ways.
Thanks for sharing how things are progressing for your departure to Kenya. God does work in amazing ways in our lives and what a blessing to be able to reflect or look back and acknowledge His guiding hand. It grows a deeper faith and promotes praise and adoration to our Lord God Almighty. We continue to lift you up in prayer.
What a sharp looking Dutch family! It was a lovely 3 days with excellent weather, food, activity and enthusiasm. Glad you enjoyed it.
A belated Happy Mother’s Day Jody 🙂 You are a dear, wonderful Mother.

Yea, us old guys savor a nap every now and then.
I get the feeling it takes too much energy to be as nosy as he used to be.
It doesn’t have a name, darn it. I had our local paint/decorating business (Strand’s) match the ecru/beige in my bed spread. They are wonderful-helpful folks.
I hope you didn’t get paint on Henry!
Painted on Saturday, shampooed carpet on Sunday. I’m done.
I admire your ambition. It’s looking great!
The benefits of mania. My body is screaming now.

APEM scientists Dr Kevin Jones and Damien Hicks recently ran an entomological and botanical workshop at Edinburgh Zoo for the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland and the Field Studies Council.
The workshop was in preparation for the roll out next year of the National Pollinator and Pollination Monitoring scheme.
Scientists estimate that 35 per cent of global crop production and more than 85 per cent of wild flowering plants rely on pollination by insects to some degree.
So falling numbers of many of the key species have prompted recent concern among researchers and policy makers.
Perhaps best known from media reports has been the decline in the numbers of bees, but this is far from the only example. Uncovering and understanding the causes of the problem has become a high priority for researchers.
APEM biologist, Damien Hicks, said: “With such a broad spectrum of taxonomic groups to be identified, the study of plant-pollinator networks can be daunting to say the least.
“In the UK around 1,500 plant species, over 250 bee species, a similar number of hoverfly species, and thousands of other Diptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera and Lepidoptera have been observed to be part of the pollination system.
Scientists at APEM were asked to arrange the workshop because of our good relationship with the Field Studies Council, because of their experience in species identification and because few other companies currently provide tutoring in identifying the relevant plants and pollinators.
Dr Kevin Jones of APEM’s freshwater laboratories, who previously organised similar training for the Environment Agency, said: “There is a clear need for us to construct a robust biological evidence base that the regulatory agencies, planners and developers can use to chart best practice. As ecological surveyors and analysts this is what we thrive on.
Attendees at the workshop included one member of staff and one volunteer from the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland, two PhD students, one survey consultant and an MSc student, among others.
The course covered insect anatomy, taxonomic identification, network theory and the insect orders that dominate pollination services – Diptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera and Lepidoptera.
Additional fieldwork on the day observed the first migrant wave of pollen beetles (Brassicogethes aeneus), several solitary bees (Andrena sp.) in the blonde sandstone walls of the zoo together with its kleptoparasite bee (Nomada sp).
If you have any queries, please contact Michael Dobson, divisional director.

The world is rapidly changing and so is Netherlands development studies this is after the 15 years period of millennium development came to an end in 2015. A larger set of sustainable development goals were introduced to guide long term development policies and end global poverty. Development perse is not considered as a problem on the global scene, but issues to deal with migration issues, food security, climate change and energy crises.
There are massive changes in power relations in Africa, Asia and Latin America as well as India and China are strengthening their role in Netherlands development cooperation. Their platform for giving out AID is different from the western platform and it is important for employees of every humanitarian organization to understand the same so that their organizations are better placed when it comes to getting donor assistance from the two classes of donors. In addition to the traditional donors, new players have entered the scene including foundations and diaspora organizations.
Individual migrants and socially engaged entrepreneurs are acknowledging their role in societal changes by taking responsibility for the social and environmental impacts of production activities and or consumption. As an institution we have researched on this particular issue and we are ready to address current development challenges and engage with these highly important and urgent issues. The programme focuses topics surrounding migration, climate change, land governance urbanization and corporate social responsibility.
The central objective of the course is to equip learners conceptual and empirical knowledge as well as research skills necessary to understand and analyze contemporary issues pertaining to Netherlands development in broad geographical contexts- local, regional and Netherlands levels.
This is an interdisciplinary training course that places particular focus on socio-economic development issues of concern to the developing African countries such as poverty, conflicts, governance, human rights, climate change and global inequality.
• What role do Netherlands development organizations play in development?
Furthermore, it is hoped that the student will reflect on ethical issues behind his or her personal commitment to development studies, and indeed, the endeavor of “development” itself. Why do we commit ourselves to practicing economic development? What right do we have to impose development on the Third World? Do these “others” even want to be “developed”? Is it even possible to practice development in a way that is respectful of local knowledge, cultures and diverse individual aspirations.

Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MoEST) announced on Tuesday that government has abolished fees in public secondary schools which is currently at K500 per studentwith immediate effect.
Minister of Education Bright Msaka said at at anew conference in Lilongwe that the tuition fees have been abolished with immediate effect but the general purpose fund and the text book fund will be abolished effect January 1, 2019.
Msaka said President Peter Mutharika being a global champion of education wishes to give all the children of Malawi the opportunity to access secondary education.
“Through government the President is removing all barriers that impede our children from accessing secondary education,” he said.
Msaka said with the removal of the fees, government will not collect any monetary contributions from students.
“As regards examination fees that is collected by Malawi National Examination Board (MANEB), I wish to inform you that it will continue to be collected from all candidates,” explained the Minister of Education.
Msaka said boarding fees remain payable by all borders to cater for food and other expenses associated with the residents of the school.
“I am happy to report therefore that in doing this His Excellency Prof. Arthur Peter Mutharika is also answering to sustainable Development Goals 4.1 which seeks to ensure among other things, that children from deprived homes have access to education,” he said.
However, he pointed out that from time to time, communities identify some projects for schools and they need contributions from the people.
“For example, they want to sink a borehole worth K60 000, t hey are allowed to collect the contributions. But these contributions should stop after the project,” he said.
He said government encourages such local participation and the schools may collect from the parents an amount needed by the school according to the guidelines set by the Ministry.
The minister, however urged communities to utilize constituency development fund, local development fund and the district development fund for school projects instead of forcing communities make contributions.
Msaka said poor parents should not be overburdened with projects that can be resourced from the Districts.
He also said all needy students who cannot afford boarding fees should go to their nearest district education office which will allocate them places in community day secondary schools.
However, some education experts say the move to abolish the fees in secondary schools is a recipe for low standard of education in secondary schools.
Civil Society Education Coalition (Csec) executive director Benedicto Kondowe warned against the move by government, saying government should have consulted first before making the announcement.
There are concerns that education standards in primary schools remain the lowest in the Sadc after government decision to abolish fees in 1994.
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is facing a contentious election in 2019 following the emergence of the United Transformation Movement (UTM) which has changed the political landscape.
how much is the total cost anyway?? but the whole minister n full press conference just a MK500?? shame on u!!
Ayayayayaya, so some fool just woke up from a deep slumber this morning and thought that this is a real bright idea without thinking about what implications this is going to have??????? These people need to go before we find ourselves in a total mess!!!!!
Too little too late! , so this government just makes policies out of no where???? Shouldn’t this have been discussed in Parliament and approved by our representatives???? Is this a campaign gimmick???? How desperate are you fools????
Join the discussion…Was this landmark move budgeted for? Just watch the educational system sliding down. Some tribes in the country don’t care a hoot whether they get educated or not. Their preoccupation is nothing else but thievery and plunder.
DPP is playing a psychological game of fanta @ 5:99.99 vs 6.00 marketing gemics. The tuition fee for secondary school is very small (about 5000_7000), & other costs removed total less than 8000 yet they have left boarding fee which is almost 90% of total fee. I don’t see any impacts except in CDSS where students don’t pay boarding fee. Same mouthpiece policy. Do the calculations.
I can forsee some schools failing to administer end of term examinations.
A great idea in principle, but where is the government getting the funds from to replace these school fees? Very soon we will he hearing that secondary school teachers have not been paid at the end of the month. Something will have to give in order to accommodate this change of policy. Perhaps the DPP government is going to play straight and stop all the corruption. What do you think?
I used to respecially Bright Msaka, not any more. I can’t believe he has sink this low. Secondary schools are not free at all. They are only giving a discount of MK 500. 00 per student. What is MK500.00 this days? This is a fact. AMP is being betrayed by his own people. Unbelievable DDP rubbish.

In the United States, people who seek advice go to those they believe to be wise and insightful-a grandparent, a parent, a minister, a teacher, a psychologist. In many instances the response or advice is given by way of a folktale, proverb, Bible story or example. These stories do not necessarily give direct answers but rather provide guidance through enlightenment, further thought, and contemplation. In the Yoruba culture people go to the diviner for assistance in problem solving. After listening carefully, the diviner seeks information from Ifa, the agent of divination. The diviner's box would be used in this process. Typically stored in the box are 16 palm nuts. A complicated ritual takes place and the nuts are then interpreted based on 256 signs. Depending on the sign (udo), a particular story, proverb or song is told by the diviner, who acts like Eshu, the trickster god who is a messenger between the gods and the people. The stories of gods, animals, and humans illustrate how one might resolve a problem. This diviner's box depicts Eshu on the lid.

The debate over publicity and privacy in financial remedy cases may be about to be clarified. An application for a reporting restriction order by a former wife involved in financial remedy proceedings has been rejected by the Court of Appeal. Tina Norman had claimed that her financial affairs were “private business”, and that there was no public interest in the disclosure of her identity. However, editors at a number of media organisations objected to Ms Norman’s application, saying that the principle of open justice should prevail. The Court of Appeal agreed and ordered that journalists could name Ms Norman and her ex-husband in reports of the case. The judgment will be published at a later date, and no doubt many family lawyers will be eagerly awaiting it.
Changes to the court rules that apply in cases concerning arrangements for a child in which it is alleged or admitted, or there is other reason to believe, that the child or a party has experienced domestic violence or abuse perpetrated by another party, or that there is a risk of such violence or abuse, have been recommended Mr Justice Cobb. The changes include: displacing the presumption that involvement of both parents in the life of the child concerned will further the child’s welfare where the involvement of a parent in a child’s life would put the child or other parent at risk of suffering harm arising from domestic violence or abuse; amending the rules to include a requirement for the court to ensure that the court process is not being used as a means in itself to perpetuate coercion, control or harassment by an abusive parent; and amending the rules to afford further protection for the alleged victim of abuse from cross-examination by an alleged unrepresented perpetrator. I hope that these changes will, if implemented, have the desired effect of protecting victims of domestic abuse, although I’m not sure that they will actually make a lot of difference.
This has been ‘Family Mediation Week’, a campaign aiming to raise awareness of out-of-court options for families going through divorce or separation. To mark it, the charity the Family Mediation Association has said that the public need to be better informed of the availability and benefits of mediation. For my part, I am all in favour of the use of mediation in appropriate cases, although it is not, of course, a panacea for resolving all family disputes.
In a worrying piece of news the BBC has reported that a victim of domestic violence was assaulted after a social worker twice disclosed the address of her safe house to her abusive ex-husband. It was apparently claimed that the social worker believed it was the husband’s “parental right” to know where his children were. The social services department involved has apparently apologised, but this really is not good enough. Safe houses, or refuges, are vital for the safety of victims of serious domestic abuse, and it is essential that their addresses are not disclosed – all professionals involved in domestic abuse cases should know this.
A new Family Procedure Rules Practice Direction has been published to facilitate the launch of the first small online divorce pilot. The location and timing of the pilot is not yet known, but this does confirm that we are at last moving towards a virtual divorce system.
The Court of Appeal has set aside a number of orders made in a financial remedies case, after finding a series of procedural errors with how the case was handled. In Iqbal v Iqbal the husband appealed against various orders, including an interim periodical payments (maintenance) order, judgment summonses and the final financial remedies order. Giving the leading judgment of the Court of Appeal Sir Ernest Ryder said that the husband was not given the ‘elementary procedural protections’ he had a right to expect, as orders were made against him without him being given the opportunity to respond. He went on to say that ‘on any numbers of bases’ the decision made at the conclusion of the final hearing was procedurally unfair, to the extent that it should be set aside. He directed that the application for a financial remedy order be re-heard.
Interesting comments as ever John. It seems that the Paramountcy Principle is no longer paramount and that Practice Directions can overturn statute law.
Let’s just examine what you say on Practice Direction 12J.
We know that Domestic Violence and Abuse can include physical, emotional, psychological and also financial abuse. What the draft wording appears to suggest is that if for example the mother felt that it would be so traumatic TO HER that the Court should allow her beautiful child to see that horrible evil swine of a father then the Court would need to act to circumvent the will of Parliament set out in statute law – i.e the presumption that involvement will further the child’s welfare. S11 (2) of the 2014 Act.
Clearly it is insufficient to be able to prove that the involvement of the ‘other parent’ would not further the welfare of the child as the 2014 Act requires. Merely the risk of the mother (sorry, controlling parent) suffering some form of domestic abuse is sufficient to overturn the provisions of statute. Either the ‘best interests of the child’ are paramount or they aren’t. Which one is it?
In his ‘review’ of PD12J Stephen Cobb has obviously applied the same rigour that he does in his ‘day job’ in the Family Court. He tells us in paragraph 4 of his report that he consulted with ……………..…..Women’s Aid, oh and Rights of Women. He also mentions a number of feminist academics including Professor Rosemary Hunter – who is currently the academic representative on the FJC plus a few others – all of whom are likely to have argued from substantially the same position. Did he consider that perhaps Women’s Aid and Rights of Women are not the best qualified to represent the perspective of male victims of abuse? Did he consult with anyone about the extent to which false and spurious allegations of abuse are a characteristic of Private Law proceedings? We can but speculate.
Justice Cobb may be able to evidence that he consulted with a range of perspectives on this issue – personally I see no indication that he did. However, let’s look at the next question of the extent to which he tested the evidence? Again this is a pretty standard task for a Family Court Judge one would suppose.
Furthermore he repeats the evidence produced by Women’s Aid that asserts that 39% of women were physically abused by their former partner in the Family Court!!
Unlike Justice Cobb, Lucy Reed – Chair of the Transparency Project, has asked questions about the reliability of the data. It seems that the figures were produced from a self-selected sample of Women’s Aid service users amounting to 90 individuals.
ensure that the court process is not used as a means to perpetuate coercion, control or harassment by an abusive parent.
Men who turn to the Family Court as their last hope of ever seeing their children again are now ‘presumed’ to be perpetrators of abuse! Clearly the existing provisions of s91(14) of the Children Act 1989 are wholly inadequate to prevent these wicked men from wasting their £215 application fee and presumably tens of thousands of pounds worth of legal fees simply to continue this terrible pattern of abuse involving having the absolute cheek to expect to maintain a relationship with their own children.
Is the Paramountcy Principle now subordinate to the ‘risk of harm’ to the controlling parent?
Can a Practice Direction overturn statute law?
I do a lot of work helping parents (mainly, but not all, dads) keep in touch with their kids following separation. It is very common for mothers to make allegations about violence that are later found to be false – but by then they have care and control of the kids, so: game over. They are helped a lot in this by those involved (court, CAFCASS, SS) willingly believing that men are abusers and that women are victims.
Even when a woman is shown to be violent, she is often forgiven. Two weeks ago someone who I help reported that his wife had a row with their son and hit him. Action from social services was “build the relationship with son and mother” – if it had been father who hit the child he would have been out of the house and lucky if his son saw him in a contact center.
It is quite remarkable that it is considered that a Practice Direction can be put in place to displace a legislative presumption, thus usurping the will of Parliament. Surely the job of the judiciary is to interpret and enforce legislation not to reinterpret it or invest it with a new meaning that Parliament clearly never intended. Given that the PD proposals are apparently based solely on a survey of 90 members of Women’s Aid and totally ignore the high propensity of false allegations that feature in Children Act cases, this is especially worrying.
As to the proposal to amend the rules to include a requirement for the court to ensure that the court process is not being used as a means in itself to perpetuate coercion, control or harassment by an abusive parent, whilst such an amendment is highly questionable as an objective, not least because it would be so difficult to determine, it must be hoped that if adopted it will applied to parents seeking to unjustifiably exclude the other from a relationship with the child as a form of control and coercive behaviour.
With regard to the proposals to amend the rules to afford further protection for the alleged victim of abuse from cross- examination by an alleged unrepresented perpetrator, clearly if an alleged perpetrator unable to afford legal representation is denied that the right to test evidence in cross-examination, then he/she is denied his/her right to a fair hearing. If that right is to be denied then the “overriding objective” which requires ensuring that the parties are on an equal footing, must also require that the alleged perpetrator should benefit from legal aid to support his case in the same that the alleged victim does. Only allowing legal aid to an accuser and not to accused is wholly inconsistent with the overriding objective and the court’s duty to promote it.
I am astounded that these proposals have come in so quickly without any proper thought, research or consultation. I know of over 100 cases in detail where men have allegations of serious DV including alcohol/drug abuse and physical assault over a pro-longed period of time. Not one of these Fathers have gone to commit any crime. Indeed, as time goes on in the vast majority the court becomes frustrated with the mother who fails to abide court orders, fails to act in the best interests of the child and nearly always goes to make further unsubstantiated allegations. Yet nothing seems to happen – there’s no cost to making false allegations and yet they add to the “weight” of domestic violence allegations which clearly sway some social workers and judges. It is truly frightening.
There have been several pieces of legislation (coercive control) and procedures (PINs) all to address domestic violence issues. Many encroach on the innocent until proven guilty principle. Yet the figures of their use are woefully low.
The fact that this rule significant rule change – which should be legislative change – has come in on the back of politically motivated is quite upsetting. If someone has been convicted of domestic violence I could understand. Many of the cases I know of the women doesn’t like to give evidence (even when the father is represented) because she knows she’s lying and it usually comes out.
I wouldn’t support any man who I thought had been violent towards a women.
The Family Court may as well be renamed “Mother’s Court”.
When will the government (if not the MoJ via directions!) introduce crimes for making False Allegations, Parental Alienation and Coercive Control of children in Family Separation.
The ‘justice’ system is abused by mothers who play victim constantly to remove a father from a child’s life. Mothers introduce other men, who they barely know, to their children yet fathers that have been a good parent to their child are refused contact. A mother can choose to take her child into a prison to see its father who may be a murderer but a father, who very often suffers with mental health issues following a breakdown of a relationship, has to pay and beg and plead to see his own flesh and blood. There is no equality in the family justice system, fathers are refused contact but legally forced to provide, while mother does what she wants and the children continue to suffer. How many new dads will the children have who nobody checks on? Nobody cares about mums new boyfriends because she is the mother!!! Its an absolutely disgusting set up and all children should have contact with their fathers until they are old enough,16, to decide that they do not wish to have contact or there is a serious life or death situation if contact is maintained.
It’s almost unfathomable to read a post such as yours, see the authors name and believe that a person of the opposite gender can be so perceptive that I find myself saying “You have got it spot on” (on every point from first hand experience and a close observer to a sibling). Rally your troops, it’ll take an army of women saying the same thing to change things because until then, no one will ever listen to a man! “Margaret Ellis for President of the family court of England and Wales” I say. I bow my head with the greatest and most sincerest of respect to you as a person. Wish there were many more people like you – I wish there were judges out there who experienced first hand what it’s really like at the broken end of the family court bottle – empathy for the non resident usually male parent would go a long way to swiftly ensuring the best welfare interests of children instead of years upon years of prolonged emotional torture they are subjected to caused by parental alienation unhelped by the indifference and apathy shown by the family court.

the debate over publicity and privacy in financial remedy cases may be about to be clarified. an application for a reporting restriction order by a former wife involved in financial remedy proceedings has been rejected by the court of appeal. tina norman had claimed that her financial affairs were “private business”, and that there was no public interest in the disclosure of her identity. however, editors at a number of media organisations objected to ms norman’s application, saying that the principle of open justice should prevail. the court of appeal agreed and ordered that journalists could name ms norman and her ex-husband in reports of the case. the judgment will be published at a later date, and no doubt many family lawyers will be eagerly awaiting it.
changes to the court rules that apply in cases concerning arrangements for a child in which it is alleged or admitted, or there is other reason to believe, that the child or a party has experienced domestic violence or abuse perpetrated by another party, or that there is a risk of such violence or abuse, have been recommended mr justice cobb. the changes include: displacing the presumption that involvement of both parents in the life of the child concerned will further the child’s welfare where the involvement of a parent in a child’s life would put the child or other parent at risk of suffering harm arising from domestic violence or abuse; amending the rules to include a requirement for the court to ensure that the court process is not being used as a means in itself to perpetuate coercion, control or harassment by an abusive parent; and amending the rules to afford further protection for the alleged victim of abuse from cross-examination by an alleged unrepresented perpetrator. i hope that these changes will, if implemented, have the desired effect of protecting victims of domestic abuse, although i’m not sure that they will actually make a lot of difference.
this has been ‘family mediation week’, a campaign aiming to raise awareness of out-of-court options for families going through divorce or separation. to mark it, the charity the family mediation association has said that the public need to be better informed of the availability and benefits of mediation. for my part, i am all in favour of the use of mediation in appropriate cases, although it is not, of course, a panacea for resolving all family disputes.
in a worrying piece of news the bbc has reported that a victim of domestic violence was assaulted after a social worker twice disclosed the address of her safe house to her abusive ex-husband. it was apparently claimed that the social worker believed it was the husband’s “parental right” to know where his children were. the social services department involved has apparently apologised, but this really is not good enough. safe houses, or refuges, are vital for the safety of victims of serious domestic abuse, and it is essential that their addresses are not disclosed – all professionals involved in domestic abuse cases should know this.
a new family procedure rules practice direction has been published to facilitate the launch of the first small online divorce pilot. the location and timing of the pilot is not yet known, but this does confirm that we are at last moving towards a virtual divorce system.
the court of appeal has set aside a number of orders made in a financial remedies case, after finding a series of procedural errors with how the case was handled. in iqbal v iqbal the husband appealed against various orders, including an interim periodical payments (maintenance) order, judgment summonses and the final financial remedies order. giving the leading judgment of the court of appeal sir ernest ryder said that the husband was not given the ‘elementary procedural protections’ he had a right to expect, as orders were made against him without him being given the opportunity to respond. he went on to say that ‘on any numbers of bases’ the decision made at the conclusion of the final hearing was procedurally unfair, to the extent that it should be set aside. he directed that the application for a financial remedy order be re-heard.
interesting comments as ever john. it seems that the paramountcy principle is no longer paramount and that practice directions can overturn statute law.
let’s just examine what you say on practice direction 12j.
we know that domestic violence and abuse can include physical, emotional, psychological and also financial abuse. what the draft wording appears to suggest is that if for example the mother felt that it would be so traumatic to her that the court should allow her beautiful child to see that horrible evil swine of a father then the court would need to act to circumvent the will of parliament set out in statute law – i.e the presumption that involvement will further the child’s welfare. s11 (2) of the 2014 act.
clearly it is insufficient to be able to prove that the involvement of the ‘other parent’ would not further the welfare of the child as the 2014 act requires. merely the risk of the mother (sorry, controlling parent) suffering some form of domestic abuse is sufficient to overturn the provisions of statute. either the ‘best interests of the child’ are paramount or they aren’t. which one is it?
in his ‘review’ of pd12j stephen cobb has obviously applied the same rigour that he does in his ‘day job’ in the family court. he tells us in paragraph 4 of his report that he consulted with ……………..…..women’s aid, oh and rights of women. he also mentions a number of feminist academics including professor rosemary hunter – who is currently the academic representative on the fjc plus a few others – all of whom are likely to have argued from substantially the same position. did he consider that perhaps women’s aid and rights of women are not the best qualified to represent the perspective of male victims of abuse? did he consult with anyone about the extent to which false and spurious allegations of abuse are a characteristic of private law proceedings? we can but speculate.
justice cobb may be able to evidence that he consulted with a range of perspectives on this issue – personally i see no indication that he did. however, let’s look at the next question of the extent to which he tested the evidence? again this is a pretty standard task for a family court judge one would suppose.
furthermore he repeats the evidence produced by women’s aid that asserts that 39% of women were physically abused by their former partner in the family court!!
unlike justice cobb, lucy reed – chair of the transparency project, has asked questions about the reliability of the data. it seems that the figures were produced from a self-selected sample of women’s aid service users amounting to 90 individuals.
ensure that the court process is not used as a means to perpetuate coercion, control or harassment by an abusive parent.

We’ve all done it. From the least to the greatest, the dumbest to the smartest, the most vile to the most honorable – we have all taken that which did not belong to us.
One evening, The Destructors we’re up to no good. Across the way from Augustine’s parents home was an orchard belonging to someone else. The boys decided to help themselves to some pears. These boys weren't Robin Hoods - stealing to give to the poor. They didn't steal out of hunger. They stole but simply because it was wrong. There was a law to break and they broke it. They simply threw them away to some nearby hogs.
We carried off a huge load of pears, not to eat ourselves, but to dump out to the hogs, after barely tasting some of them ourselves. Doing this pleased us all the more because it was forbidden. Such was my heart, O God, such was my heart–which thou didst pity even in that bottomless pit. Behold, now let my heart confess to thee what it was seeking there, when I was being gratuitously wanton, having no inducement to evil but the evil itself.
Stealing pears to give to hogs may not seem like a major sin compared to countless horrendous acts through world history. However, this "small" sin gave an excellent read on his (and our) heart. I'm under the impression that the Holy Spirit coupled with midlife reflection tends to put things in perspective. As he thought about his friends, the laughing, the pears, the thought of getting away with something, and the hogs laid up against the grace of God, he saw his heart for what shape it really was in when Jesus saved him.
It was foul, and I loved it. I loved my own undoing. I loved my error–not that for which I erred but the error itself. A depraved soul, falling away from security in thee to destruction in itself, seeking nothing from the shameful deed but shame itself.
It was a love of sin.
We've all been there. Even those we refer to as "Saints."
How'd he go from sinner to saint? The same way you and I do. Through the truth that where sin abounded grace abounded all the more (Romans 5:20).

Hamza bin Ladin, son of Usama and one of al-Qaeda’s rising media stars, released an audio speech on 31 March, labelled as the sixth edition of his “Sovereignty of the Best of Nations Is In the Uprising of the People of the Haram” series. Oddly, the last speech in the series, released on 18 January, was labelled as the fourth instalment. This speech also focused on delegitimising the Saudi government, in this case by laying out the history of its close relations with the United States and the work the Saudis have done to suppress jihadism. An English-language transcript was released by al-Qaeda’s As-Sahab Media and is reproduced below with some editions in transliteration.
Praise be to Allah, the Noble One who has bestowed His grace upon us, the Great One who has subjected the necks of the mighty to Him, and I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone and there is not partner ascribed to Him and a witness we hope as a survival from the Hereafter, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His lone messenger and His lone slave, may Allah’s prayer be upon him and his family and his companions.
This is the sixth episode from the episodes: “Sovereignty of the Best of Nations Is In the Uprising of the People of the Haram,” which incites our dear people in the Arabian Peninsula to rise up against the criminal tyrants and rulers of the country and to strip them of their fictions, and incites them to liberate the place of revelation from the Crusaders and protect the Two Holy Mosques from the Safavids, and establish a complete and rightly-guided Islamic system, spreading justice, simplifying the shura [consultation], and reviving jihad for the sake of Allah, while redistributing the riches of the country among the poor and the needy and the deserving, so that the sons of the country can live honourably and in strength in the shade of the shari’a of the Lords of the Worlds.
We have mentioned in the previous episodes that the change in Bilad al-Haramayn would benefit the entire umma [Islamic community], Allah permitting, and that this change would be a main reason for the return of the Islamic umma to its glory and its luster and its sovereignty.
And we pointed out the danger of the creeping Rafida [Shi’a, i.e. Iranian] extension toward the Two Holy Places, from the outside on several fronts and from the inside as well, versus the shameful inability of Al-Sa’ud to confront them. But rather that confronting one faction of [the ruling regime in Arabia], we concluded that Al-Sa’ud and its army was not eligible to defend the Two Holy Mosques.
It is incumbent upon our people in the Arabian Peninsula to prepare the equipment and materials, and prepare to protect the Two Holy Mosques from the Rafida Safavids [Iranians], and to support their mujahideen brothers [al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP)] in Yemen, the Land of Faith and Wisdom, with money and men; Oh Muslim merchants, this is a chance for he who wants to obtain the honour of preparing an army to protect the Two Holy Mosques. Oh young Muslims, go forth lightly and heavily to your mujahideen brothers in Yemen, the Land of Faith, to prepare the equipment and gain the necessary experience from them; they are a people of virtue, and a people of faith and wisdom, and loyalty and help, may Allah consider them such.
We also discussed in the previous episodes about Abdulaziz ibn Sa’ud of the Third Saudi State, and its master and its misguided guider, and we clarified his relationship with the Ottoman State, which betrayed us and broke its pledge of loyalty with us and fought it, and we mentioned his close relationship with Britain, which he loved, and said that it would not leave his mind until the Hour of Resurrection. Then we discussed his relationship with the Ikhwan and his betrayal of them after their role was finished, and we mentioned his betrayal of the Palestinian Issue, his acceptance of a State for the Jews on Palestinian land, his standing in the way of a Palestinian revolution and aborting it, and we clarified also his excessive compassion for the Jews and his harsh cruelty upon our people, the people of Palestine.
Today, by the will of Allah, our discussion is about the relationship of Abdulaziz ibn Sa’ud with America.
After all the close relationships, and the agreements which were between him and between Britain, this loyalty transferred from Britain to America at the end of the Second World War, after the British star faded and the American star appeared in its place—and which is now on its path to decline, by the grace of Allah, glorified and exalted is He, because of the strikes of the mujahideen. The documents in this regard confirm a truth of this relationship. At the famous meeting between Abdulaziz and the American President Roosevelt on Rabi al-Awwal in the hijri year 1364, corresponding to 14 February 1945, on the back of the American cruiser, [the U.S.S.] Quincy, Abdulaziz and Roosevelt agreed to establish a relationship of dependence of the Saudi regime to America and transfer of allegiance of Al-Sa’ud from Britain to America.
The meeting of Abdulaziz with Roosevelt was not ordinary but rather was a dangerous and fateful meeting that dragged the Islamic umma into calamities and disasters. It resulted in the establishment of a stronger relationship with America, at the expense of Britain, and Ibn Sa’ud agreed to allow American ships to use ports of Bilad al-Haramayn and establish a large American air base, and became a region for the American army for a period of five years, then returned after that to Al-Sa’ud with all the facilities built in it.
This was a dangerous step, the first establishment of a crusader military presence in Bilad al-Haramayn since they were banished from it by our prophet, Muhammad, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him. Abdulaziz was named as the Abu Rigal of the past century, the greatest traitor, who has his name tied to this great treason.
Thus, Roosevelt and Ibn Sa’ud established the foundations of a Saudi-American relationship, which continues to this day, and which has caused the occupation of Bilad al-Haramayn, and the entry into it of army units and battalions that participated in the killing of hundreds of thousands of Muslims in the region. The wealth of the Islamic umma were looted; wealth whose numbers are astronomical and are not able to be counted except by Allah, glorified and exalted is He, and the reason for that is that Abdulaziz al-Sa’ud, who made this bad deal for his children, and his grandchildren after him, and I wish for him a shameful history.
As for the first: it is the Ottoman State, which he betrayed, breaking his allegiance to it, and fighting it.
As for the second: it is the Crusader British Empire; he allied with it and loved it and ceded Palestine to it.
As for the third: it is the Crusader American Empire, which he allowed to occupy Bilad al-Haramayn.
Abdulaziz became a traitor of the Ottoman State, conceded Palestine, and agreed to the occupation of Bilad al-Haramayn; he is the seller of the three mosques to the Crusaders, and we seek refuge in Allah.
Is this the founder of the State of Tawhid [Monotheism]?!
In conclusion: Abdulaziz ibn Sa’ud, as the supreme leader of the ruling family [in Arabia], betrayed Islam and the Muslims with unprecedented treachery: by allowing the first crusader military force to enter Bilad al-Haramayn; conceding Palestine and Masjid al-Aqsa [“The Farthest Mosque” in Jerusalem]; fighting the Ottoman Caliphate; being subservient to the British Empire, then America, and loving them both. What did he say about the President? The disbelieving Crusader Roosevelt? That he is a twin brother, and a good friend, and he had never met anyone like him in his life, and to have met him was one of the most important events in his life!
Oh Allah, fix for us our religion which is the infallibility of our command, and fix for us our world which we live in, and fix for us our afterlife to which we are headed, and make the life for us better with all good things, and make death a rest for us from all evil.
Our Lord, forgive us, and our parents, and whoever has the right to pray for us, and guide the Muslims.
Allah is the master of mankind, but most people know not.
Our last prayer is: praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

hamza bin ladin, son of usama and one of al-qaeda’s rising media stars, released an audio speech on 31 march, labelled as the sixth edition of his “sovereignty of the best of nations is in the uprising of the people of the haram” series. oddly, the last speech in the series, released on 18 january, was labelled as the fourth instalment. this speech also focused on delegitimising the saudi government, in this case by laying out the history of its close relations with the united states and the work the saudis have done to suppress jihadism. an english-language transcript was released by al-qaeda’s as-sahab media and is reproduced below with some editions in transliteration.
praise be to allah, the noble one who has bestowed his grace upon us, the great one who has subjected the necks of the mighty to him, and i bear witness that there is no god but allah alone and there is not partner ascribed to him and a witness we hope as a survival from the hereafter, and i bear witness that muhammad is his lone messenger and his lone slave, may allah’s prayer be upon him and his family and his companions.
this is the sixth episode from the episodes: “sovereignty of the best of nations is in the uprising of the people of the haram,” which incites our dear people in the arabian peninsula to rise up against the criminal tyrants and rulers of the country and to strip them of their fictions, and incites them to liberate the place of revelation from the crusaders and protect the two holy mosques from the safavids, and establish a complete and rightly-guided islamic system, spreading justice, simplifying the shura [consultation], and reviving jihad for the sake of allah, while redistributing the riches of the country among the poor and the needy and the deserving, so that the sons of the country can live honourably and in strength in the shade of the shari’a of the lords of the worlds.
we have mentioned in the previous episodes that the change in bilad al-haramayn would benefit the entire umma [islamic community], allah permitting, and that this change would be a main reason for the return of the islamic umma to its glory and its luster and its sovereignty.
and we pointed out the danger of the creeping rafida [shi’a, i.e. iranian] extension toward the two holy places, from the outside on several fronts and from the inside as well, versus the shameful inability of al-sa’ud to confront them. but rather that confronting one faction of [the ruling regime in arabia], we concluded that al-sa’ud and its army was not eligible to defend the two holy mosques.
it is incumbent upon our people in the arabian peninsula to prepare the equipment and materials, and prepare to protect the two holy mosques from the rafida safavids [iranians], and to support their mujahideen brothers [al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula (aqap)] in yemen, the land of faith and wisdom, with money and men; oh muslim merchants, this is a chance for he who wants to obtain the honour of preparing an army to protect the two holy mosques. oh young muslims, go forth lightly and heavily to your mujahideen brothers in yemen, the land of faith, to prepare the equipment and gain the necessary experience from them; they are a people of virtue, and a people of faith and wisdom, and loyalty and help, may allah consider them such.
we also discussed in the previous episodes about abdulaziz ibn sa’ud of the third saudi state, and its master and its misguided guider, and we clarified his relationship with the ottoman state, which betrayed us and broke its pledge of loyalty with us and fought it, and we mentioned his close relationship with britain, which he loved, and said that it would not leave his mind until the hour of resurrection. then we discussed his relationship with the ikhwan and his betrayal of them after their role was finished, and we mentioned his betrayal of the palestinian issue, his acceptance of a state for the jews on palestinian land, his standing in the way of a palestinian revolution and aborting it, and we clarified also his excessive compassion for the jews and his harsh cruelty upon our people, the people of palestine.
today, by the will of allah, our discussion is about the relationship of abdulaziz ibn sa’ud with america.
after all the close relationships, and the agreements which were between him and between britain, this loyalty transferred from britain to america at the end of the second world war, after the british star faded and the american star appeared in its place—and which is now on its path to decline, by the grace of allah, glorified and exalted is he, because of the strikes of the mujahideen. the documents in this regard confirm a truth of this relationship. at the famous meeting between abdulaziz and the american president roosevelt on rabi al-awwal in the hijri year 1364, corresponding to 14 february 1945, on the back of the american cruiser, [the u.s.s.] quincy, abdulaziz and roosevelt agreed to establish a relationship of dependence of the saudi regime to america and transfer of allegiance of al-sa’ud from britain to america.
the meeting of abdulaziz with roosevelt was not ordinary but rather was a dangerous and fateful meeting that dragged the islamic umma into calamities and disasters. it resulted in the establishment of a stronger relationship with america, at the expense of britain, and ibn sa’ud agreed to allow american ships to use ports of bilad al-haramayn and establish a large american air base, and became a region for the american army for a period of five years, then returned after that to al-sa’ud with all the facilities built in it.
this was a dangerous step, the first establishment of a crusader military presence in bilad al-haramayn since they were banished from it by our prophet, muhammad, may allah’s prayers and peace be upon him. abdulaziz was named as the abu rigal of the past century, the greatest traitor, who has his name tied to this great treason.
thus, roosevelt and ibn sa’ud established the foundations of a saudi-american relationship, which continues to this day, and which has caused the occupation of bilad al-haramayn, and the entry into it of army units and battalions that participated in the killing of hundreds of thousands of muslims in the region. the wealth of the islamic umma were looted; wealth whose numbers are astronomical and are not able to be counted except by allah, glorified and exalted is he, and the reason for that is that abdulaziz al-sa’ud, who made this bad deal for his children, and his grandchildren after him, and i wish for him a shameful history.
as for the first: it is the ottoman state, which he betrayed, breaking his allegiance to it, and fighting it.
as for the second: it is the crusader british empire; he allied with it and loved it and ceded palestine to it.
as for the third: it is the crusader american empire, which he allowed to occupy bilad al-haramayn.
abdulaziz became a traitor of the ottoman state, conceded palestine, and agreed to the occupation of bilad al-haramayn; he is the seller of the three mosques to the crusaders, and we seek refuge in allah.
is this the founder of the state of tawhid [monotheism]?!
in conclusion: abdulaziz ibn sa’ud, as the supreme leader of the ruling family [in arabia], betrayed islam and the muslims with unprecedented treachery: by allowing the first crusader military force to enter bilad al-haramayn; conceding palestine and masjid al-aqsa [“the farthest mosque” in jerusalem]; fighting the ottoman caliphate; being subservient to the british empire, then america, and loving them both. what did he say about the president? the disbelieving crusader roosevelt? that he is a twin brother, and a good friend, and he had never met anyone like him in his life, and to have met him was one of the most important events in his life!

Renoir cinemas started the adventure of showing art-house films in original version with subtitles in 1986. In Spain this is not at all common as films are normally dubbed in most of the cinemas and therefore we are now a reference for film lovers in Madrid and Barcelona.
We have 3 cinemas in Madrid (Renoir Plaza España, Renoir Retiro and Cines Princesa) and 1 cinema in Barcelona (Renoir Floridablanca) where we show a selection of new release films in original language that are likely to appeal to a more art house audience.
In the selection of films that we show we give a great importance to European and Spanish films.
We are especially proud of the summer program which is composed of the best films of the year at a low price. It has been 5 years now from its implementation and it is always a great success with full house in many screenings.
For Renoir’s 30th anniversary this year we organise a short story contest related to cinema and we will show some of the best films of cinema history in the next months.
Find out who is Renoir’s Ambassador here.

Family law is the law of domestic relations. It is concerned with issues that involve family relationships, parties that are related either by blood or by marriage. When facing the family law, it is essential to hire a real lawyer to assist your legal process. A lawyer will help you through the process to ease you. They are knowledgeable, experienced, and skillful. Find seasoned professionals to be the attorney of your case. Family law encompasses an array of legal issues and matters. Attorneys who practice family law customarily handle divorce, adoption, child support, child custody, emancipation, paternity, pre-nuptials, and all other related legal matters. For more detailed information and explanation, we break down the most popular issues of family laws where lawyers are typically needed.
The large preponderance of the proceedings of family law is the result of romantic relationship or marriage termination or separation. In a typical case, each spouse usually hires their own attorney. For spouses that have only been married for a short time, they may ask for an annulment. For long-term married couples, they will ask for separation by divorce. There are a lot of things that come with marriage termination. These things are property division, financial support such as alimony, and proposing plans for child custody, support, and visitation. They will usually organize a settlement plan so that they can avoid a trial. But if trials ensue, attorneys will make the best out of it.
When children are involved, it is a matter of family law. Issues such as child support, child custody, adoption, surrogacy, paternity, and even emancipation are on the list. Child support and child custody are the issues that follow along with separation of the parents. Adoption and surrogacy are matters concerning on obtaining a child. Surrogacy is a complex process. But not as complex as adoption. Therefore, it is crucial to consult a reputable attorney. Paternity is the step to take to establish and disestablish fatherhood, usually done by tests. Emancipation, on the other hand, is when a child takes on adult responsibility and no longer being under the care of their parents.
Agreements related to family, relationship, and marriage matters are all under the law of domestic relations. These arrangements are to settle a dispute, conflicts, and other problems whether in the present or in the future. These agreements include separation agreements, cohabitation agreements, prenuptial agreements, and also post-nuptial agreements.
