Scaffolding Farleys End Gloucestershire
Scaffolding Farleys End Gloucestershire: If you've got some major building work to do on your home in Farleys End, like changing your double glazing, doing repointing, having a new roof fitted or having a chimney stack restored, there is a fairly good chance that you are going to require some scaffolding, in order to make the area safe for both yourself and the workmen undertaking the project. If this proves to be your situation, then you'll need to locate a qualified Farleys End scaffolder, to provide you with some costings and have the necessary scaffolding set up properly and safely.
Scaffolding - A Potted Guide: A scaffold is simply a temporary elevated framework, normally composed of steel fittings and tubes, that's put in place to provide a safe and sturdy surface for construction workers engaged in their duties on buildings and homes in Farleys End. The use of scaffolding also has the benefit of making structures safer for the occupiers and passers by, shielding them from hazards like falling objects and dust caused by work being carried out above.
A scaffold is made using a number of different sections which will normally include: sills, spade ends, ladders, couplers, scaffold boards, ladder clamps, ledgers, diagonal braces, sole boards, standards, base plates, facade braces, guard rails, limpet clamps, board clamps, swivel clamps, right angle clamps, midrails, toeboards and putlogs.
There are numerous different forms of scaffolding, each having its specific function, among the several types are trestle scaffolds, suspended scaffolding, double scaffolding (masons scaffolding), patented scaffolding, scaffold towers, single scaffolding, tube and fitting scaffolding, cantilever scaffolds, rolling scaffolds, shoring scaffolds and confined space scaffolds. The kind you would most likely use on your property in Farleys End, is the single (often known as bricklayer's) scaffold.
When you need scaffolding in Farleys End, you have to hunt for an expert scaffolding contractor, who is advocated by your local council. If the scaffolding is going to encroach onto a pavement or highway you need permission from your local council and must make sure it is safe before it is used, thoroughly re-check it once every seven days, as well as safety check it after alterations, high winds or damage. This scaffolding permit will be vital when you are putting up staging, access towers, pedestrian barriers, hoardings, scaffolding as well as if you are siting a skip or contractors plant. If the scaffolding is going to go the public highway it will additionally need safety lighting, which should be supplied by your Farleys End scaffolders. Scaffolding in Great Britain should conform to the European Standard, BS EN 12811-1, which stipulates general performance requirements and methods for the general design of working and access scaffolds.
When you happen to be hunting for scaffolders in Farleys End, you'll probably be familiar with several companies in the locality. Scaffolders are well known for displaying massive, eye-catching advertising boards, situated prominently on their scaffolds, which is of course an effective marketing strategy that gets their brand well known throughout the Farleys End, Gloucestershire area. Knowing of such local companies should provide you with some possibilities to select from. You could also think about posting a request form to Bark.com, who will promptly get in touch with a few local Farleys End scaffolders for you, free of charge, thus helping you save a bit of precious time and effort. You should soon have enough potential scaffolders to make a well informed choice for your project.
Scaffold Tower Hire Farleys End - When the project is a fairly limited one, and you'll only need to hire yourself a scaffold tower in Farleys End, then your possibilities might be somewhat wider. Some Farleys End scaffolding contractors, will be glad to hire you a scaffold tower, if that is what you need, but there's also other suppliers that you can try, for instance certain plant and tool hire companies in Farleys End may stock and hire scaffold towers and perhaps builders merchants and similar Farleys End outlets. You should try asking at Travis and Perkins, HSS, Jewson, Hire Station or other more localized tool hire businesses, if there are any in the area.
Tower scaffolds are usually made out of aluminium to ensure they are light and easy to transport and relocate on site. They are commonly offered for hire in various shapes and sizes. Amongst the more common styles are tower bridge decks, podium steps, non-conductive towers, double width alloy towers, folding indoor towers, span access platforms, microfold towers, guard rail towers, 1-man towers, stairwell access towers, folding low level platforms, cantilever towers, single width alloy towers and various other bespoke scaffold towers.

This is very similar to Mind Mapping a book, except that you are often subject to the linear progression of the lecture or presentation and do not have the luxury of being able to refer to different parts of the material at will.
For this reason, it is especially important to get an overview of the topic as quickly as possible. Before the lecture, video or film begins, you should draw your central image and as many of the main branches as you can. (Most good lecturers are pleased to help anyone who shows an interest in their subject and
PL tf
Mind MaP by Vanda North summarising the entire MMOST technique (see page 231 and Chapter 21).
will be happy to give you a preview of the lecture showing the main areas they plan to cover.)
Again, before the lecture, video, or film begins and if circumstances permit, you can do a quick-fire two-minute Mind Map burst of your existing knowledge on the subject, in order to prepare your brain to take in new information.
As time progresses, you can fill in the information and ideas on your original Mind Map wherever they seem most relevant, adjusting your basic structure if necessary. As with Mind Mapping a book, you should always include your own comments and contributions in response to those of the lecturer.
Don't worry if the information you are receiving becomes disorganised and your Mind Map notes appear 'messy'. As we have already seen, so-called 'neat' linear note-taking is actually a far less efficient means of communicating information to the brain.
Lana Israel, the girl mentioned in Chapter 22, page 217, obviously uses Mind Maps as a standard part of her school life. Her Mind Map on page 242 is a combination of note-taking, and essay and exam preparation. As Lana said:
'This Mind Map is taken straight from my history notes. My teacher usually lectures every day and naturally I Mind Map his lectures. This Mind Map deals with America's earliest political parties and their stands. The central image illustrates the split in politics which lead to the formation of two separate parties. Just by glancing at my image, I am made aware of the theme of the Map and general characteristics of the parties. Democrats being more common men and Federalists more concerned with aristocracy. The use of pictures in Mind Mapped notes is wonderful for chunking down concepts, recalling information and making history fun. The equivalent of this Map, linearly, is at least two to three pages of linear notes - studying three pages rather than one is certainly not fun. Furthermore, this Map can be reviewed in under a minute, saving time and enabling one to remember more as key words are strongly linked. The use of Mind Mapping adds so much more to study: fun, uniqueness, creativity, stronger recall, organisation while subtracting tedious hours of cramming, review and revising. At the same time Mind Maps have helped me get As in History -"A " Definite AdvantageV

The pace and intensity of our lives, both at work and at home, leave several of us feeling like a person riding a frantically galloping horse. Our day-to-day incessant busyness too much to do and not enough time; the pressure to produce and check off items on our to-do list by each day's end seems to decide the direction and quality of our existence for us.

It's common -- normal, in fact -- for children to wet the bed long after learning how to use the potty during the day. In fact, AskDr.Sears.com, founded by well-known pediatrician William Sears and his pediatric nurse wife Martha, points out that nighttime dryness is usually the last potty training skill learned, simply because the bladder muscles are more difficult to control than the rectal muscles. This means your child's mattress is going to take quite a beating during the night until he masters this final step of potty training. Rather than going out and buying a new mattress every week or so, it's a much smarter, and much more affordable, idea to protect your child's mattress.
Vinyl Mattress Covers
Vinyl covers have one big thing going for them: they're waterproof. No liquid is going to seep through and ruin your child's mattress. The downside to these types of mattress protectors is they aren't breathable, says the Protective Bedding Store, which won't be comfortable for tykes who get a little hot at night. In addition, the slippery, noisy nature of vinyl may disturb a restless sleeper. Vinyl covers are available as either a ground sheet or an entire mattress cover that zips up. They're the most affordable form of mattress protection and the easiest to wash.
Absorbent Mattress Covers
Absorbent mattress covers have the advantage of being soft, breathable and quiet, says the Protective Bedding Store. How effective they are at keeping your child's mattress dry depends on the thickness, absorbency and quality of the material. Some mattress pads have a thin layer of vinyl in the middle which not only makes the pad waterproof, but, because of the layers of absorbent cloth, significantly reduces any sounds the vinyl produces when your child moves. Washing is easy: just remove the cover and toss it into your washing machine.
Saddle Mattress Pads
Not everyone wants to have to cover the entire mattress to guard against the occasional nighttime accident. For these parents, there are saddle mattress covers. These are essentially just a band of absorbent fabric that fits around the middle of your child's mattress, providing protection right where it's needed. They tuck in on either side of the mattress on top of the ground sheet, rather than under. Many brands feature a layer of vinyl that allows the pad to hold up to 4 cups of liquid.
A Few Nighttime Tips
Don't worry, the time will come when you can give that mattress protector a toss for good. The first step is recognizing when your child is ready to stay dry at night, says the Better Health Channel. If he has frequent accidents, you may want to consider putting him in training pants until he begins waking up dry on a regular basis. When he does, make sure he can get in and out of bed easily, that his clothes are easy to pull down and he has a nightlight to help guide him to the bathroom. You may even want to think about putting a potty chair next to his bed if he has trouble getting to the bathroom on time. Remind your child to use the bathroom before he goes to bed and when accidents do happen, don't punish him. He isn't doing it deliberately.

Mellanie discusses how she discovered she suffered from atrial fibrillation and how it has affected her life.
My atrial fibrillation came just a few hours after getting off of a plane. I was sitting in my home office pulling email and all of a sudden my heart skipped some beats and then started racing, and I got dizzy and thought I was going to pass out. I knew I had to go lay down. So got up to go over to the sofa, I called out to my husband that I was not feeling well. He came rushing over with the blood pressure cuff to check my blood pressure.
Well, it was warm weather so I was wearing shorts and he happened to notice that my right leg looked different from my left leg. My right leg was as white and as cold as snow. And I realized that I had fuzziness in my right eye. I wasn't sure what was going on so we called the doctor and the doctor said, "You need to get to the emergency room."
We lived in the country and we knew by the time they found us, it would take quite a while and so my husband rushed me to the emergency room where they said I had had a blood clot or maybe it was multiple clots, perhaps a clot that had split, and that I had had a near stroke and it was due to this condition called atrial fibrillation – I had never heard of it. But I soon learned that it's not a one-time thing.
A few days later I was out walking the dog and we were probably half a mile from home and all of a sudden my heart skipped some beats and started racing and I could look down at my heart rate monitor which I always wore when I would go out to walk, and it went racing up to 300 beats a minute. I grabbed my cellphone, I called my husband, said, "Come, get me before I have a stroke."
It seemed like it took forever for him to get there. It probably was a minute or two but it seemed like hours, and when I got home I took a beta-blocker. My doctor had given me a beta-blocker and said, "If you need to take extras." I took a beta-blocker and my A-fib went away. But from that point forward I never went anywhere without my cellphone and my beta-blocker, even if I was just walking out to the mailbox out at the road, I always had my beta-blocker with me.
I felt like I was a stroke walking around waiting to happen and my family was scared to let me go anywhere by myself. So they went everywhere with me - when I went to meetings, when I went to the grocery store, when I needed to go out of town to do speeches, they went with me, in the motor home. And we always planned our routes such that I knew every hospital along the way and my husband did, too.
It was always with the atrial fibrillation being top of mind always having to have a contingency plan based on that atrial fibrillation. And you know I was never stable on the Coumadin. I was given Coumadin in order to avoid blood clots and the stroke but I was never stable on it. I would ping-pong from blood that was too thick, with a risk of clots, to blood that was too thin with a risk of bleeding to death.
And because I was ping-ponging so frequently I couldn't go two weeks or four weeks between blood draws. I had to go weekly, sometimes twice a week just to check and see what my blood thickness was or thinness. Oh, and by the way, when you are on Coumadin you can't use kitchen knives. You can't do your hard work, can't even shave your legs. It changes everything.
So others had to help me in the kitchen and then there were the bruises. When you are on Coumadin and your blood is too thin, it can leak from the blood vessels. You don't even have to bump into something to get bruised. It just leaks through out of blood vessels.
And so I turned black, blue and purple all over – all over my arms, my legs, my torso, even my face. You haven't lived until you have tried to cover up black, blue and purple all over your face to get on stage to speak with one of those big iMac screens that's going to project your face, you know, extremely high and enlarged. I went through Dermablend® by the pot load just to cover up the bruises.
So I knew that I couldn't do that forever and in the summer of 2005 a study came out that said about a fourth of Coumadin patients are not stable on Coumadin for genetic reasons. There's certain genes that impact your metabolism with the Coumadin, and my doctor and I realized that was what was going on with me because I managed to control my diet, they say, "All you have to do is eat right and you will be stable on Coumadin" – that wasn't the case with me. Obviously it was genetic.
So I knew that at the age of 52-53 I couldn't live that nightmare the rest of my life. I had to do something and that's when I discovered that there was a surgery – a new surgery being done that could potentially eliminate my stroke risk. So I checked it out. My doctor referred me to a surgeon. I had a consultation and 10 days later I was in surgery and I have been A-fib free ever since.
And three months after that surgery I came off the Coumadin on December 24 – best Christmas present I ever could have gotten. A-fib totally changed my life but having the surgery gave me my life back and has enabled me to share what I have learned with others so hopefully they don't have to go through the pain that I went through. And hopefully, through the knowledge that I have gained in the research that I do we can wipe out strokes caused by A-fib and we can improve the quality of life of those who have it.

Search for countries by language
As a teacher librarian, I promote CultureGrams to the world language teachers at my school.

I think they would be surprised to see all the countries where French or Spanish is spoken.3 votes

JUST SAY YES? Drug Legalization
For more than thirty years, the United States has been waging a war on drugs. This war—which takes the form of billions of dollars spent each year on drug law enforcement and interdiction, as well as harsh sentencing for drug offenses—is being called a failure by many critics. But if it is a failure, is drug legalization the solution? Just how would legalization work? And would the benefits of legalization outweigh the costs?
PEACEABLE KINGDOM: Animal Rights
The past decade has seen the emergence of an increasingly vocal animal rights movement in this country. Although many of the specific goals of the movement have to do with promoting the humane treatment of animals, the underlying argument is that certain basic legal rights should be extended to animals as well. Should we recognize that animals have legal rights, or should we continue to regard animals as property, as resources to use as humans see fit? Just what rights, if any, should animals have? And how could these rights alter the relationship between humans and the rest of the animal kingdom?

Network management systems must meet new demands
It's getting harder to see what's happening in enterprise networks, thanks to SDN, cloud and mobility. It's time for network management systems to catch up.
It has been 10 years since we understood that voice and video networks would converge with our data networks. It has been no less than six years since we came to accept the dissolution of the traditional perimeter of the enterprise network, at least in terms of our security thinking. In the last five years or so, we've come to accept the convergence of storage and data networks in the data center. Now we are layering on virtual networks, mobile devices and cloud services, and anticipate a software-defined networking (SDN) world. Our management and monitoring tools need to keep up if we are going to keep our networks up.
Uncertainty about network visibility
The unifying theme underlying many of the changes facing the network is a loss of certainty as to where and how many entities are connected to the network. This is true for virtual networks, cloud networks and, most of all, for accommodating the rapid rise of mobile devices in the enterprise. It affects both the back-end systems providing services and the user-facing devices consuming them, and so affects everything from managing a service-level agreement to ensuring solid application performance.
Virtual networks in or among data centers overlay physical networks and create a topology separate from that of the physical network, one upon which virtual machines are added and removed and moved dynamically. To that end, management tools must map the overlaid networks (there can be many) and monitor performance on them, as well as keep tabs on any underlying physical switches and routers that support the virtual networks. These tools will ideally be able to track virtual machines from creation through any movements and to retirement or hibernation (and be able to cope with a machine reappearing after an absence).
Cloud networks serve externally sourced resources, such as application stacks running on infrastructure as a service resource pools from providers like Amazon or Google. They also link internally sourced services to those external resources. Cloud resources create externally hosted virtual networks, and thus pose the same challenges regarding the ability to pinpoint the number and locations of endpoints. What's more, they are opaque at the underlay: You can't monitor physical switch health. This only increases the importance of visibility into the behaviors of the virtual networks. And, of course, the number of different opaque physical infrastructures on which those virtual overlays are built is itself variable. An enterprise may rapidly change cloud service providers, or add to or remove from a pool of them.
Perhaps what is most dynamic and challenging is coping with the influx of mobile devices on enterprise WLANs. While we see a steady and rapid increase in the number over time -- and can safely expect that increase to continue for some years to come -- the number of mobile devices connected at any given moment fluctuates wildly. Moreover, as staff or customers move through a facility, the physical network components through which traffic hits the enterprise network can vary quickly as well. The location of a "top talker" or "top listener" on the network can vary second by second -- even if the node in question is the same! So management tools need to get better at tracking transient connections, both in the sense of devices appearing and disappearing and in the sense of them moving from place to place on the physical network. Management platforms also need to become more proficient in how they exploit network access control or mobile device management data to attach permanent identities to nodes that come and go (to better monitor user or device behavior over time).
Looking ahead a few years, management tools will need to take into account yet another layer of dynamism, as SDN begins to transform how we look at providing connectivity. One key underlying assumption in SDN: Any data plane device can implement any number of services, including providing deep visibility into network traffic and behavior. Management tools will have a new cornucopia of data to work with -- but a completely dynamic and fluid environment to understand and to make comprehensible and manageable to IT staff.
Retooling network management
Enterprise management tools have to mirror enterprise business and operational aspirations. The new enterprise network has to power an enterprise that wants to be agile with virtualization, cloud and mobility. In order for IT to provide services effectively in this evolving environment, management and monitoring tools have to support these business goals by ensuring an IT infrastructure capable of accommodating the dynamism of virtual, cloud, mobile and -- someday -- software-defined networks.

Le Dernier Caravanserail (Odysees)
Part One: The Cruel River by Theatre du Soleil
Sydney Festival
Royal Exhibition Building, Sydney, Oct 11 until Oct 16, 2005
Reviewer: Kate Herbert on Oct 11, 2005
The subtitle, The Cruel River, is a metaphor for all the journeys depicted in Le Dernier Caravanserail, Part One. Its cruelty is portrayed frighteningly in the opening scene.
Performers, directed by the visionary Ariane Mnouchkine, (OK) manipulate masses of billowing grey silk that represent the violent torrent of the river. The soundscape roars, the refugees, taking their lives in their hands, attempt to cross the raging water in a basket. Many succumb to the floodwaters.
What follows is a series of vivid and imaginative theatrical vignettes depicting episodes from the journeys of refugees from Central Asia and Eastern Europe to potential safety in France.
Theatre du Soleil based the production on interviews with Iranian, Afghani and Kurdish refugees. We hear their voices as their words, in their own languages, are translated on screen. The truth of their pain is palpable and provides a powerful, emotional foundation for this performance.
The design (Guy-Claude Francois) is flexible and exciting. The vast, empty stage transforms in an instant into a French Red Cross refugee camp, a hut in Afghanistan, a home in Teheran, the coast of Calais, a train track in France a village in Africa or a phone box in Moscow.
In this epic, we encounter victims of the Taliban, demonstrators against the regime in Teheran, a desperate Russian woman and her daughter. As well as the victims, we meet the criminals who control and abuse them. These refugees escape from one tyrant only to fall prey to another.
Inventive theatrical devices transport us in time and place. Each character is wheeled on a small platform and appears to float in space. A hut is turned on wheels to reveal a new scene. Escapees disappear down a pit. Trees float by on wheels.
The evocative soundscape (Patricia Cano, Yann Lemetre, Marie Heuze') combines with live contemporary and traditional Arabic music played live behind a scrim. (Jean-Jacques Lemetre) The actors, as is common in Theatre du Soleil productions, are visible through transparent curtains, changing costume and waiting entrances.
The enormous, multi-lingual cast of consummate actors, performs with passion and commitment, bringing to life, through this abstract form, a poignant story of loss, grief, homelessness and courage.
The horror of the lives of these individuals is paramount and I remind us of our own chequered history and questionable treatment of refugees.

When a package went missing from Mark Rober's porch, his home security camera captured the package thief in the act. Rober went to the police, but they said it wasn't worth their time to investigate.
Feeling violated and powerless, Rober decided "something needed to be done to take a stand against dishonest punks like this."
But Rober has a few more technical skills than the average irate homeowner. A former NASA engineer, he spent seven years working on the Curiosity rover and has a huge YouTube following. He teamed up with a similarly talented friend, Sean Hodgins, to create a "revenge-bait package." Disguised to look like a normal package, when opened it's a feast for the eyes and nose, shooting fountains of colorful glitter and spraying bursts of "fart spray" into the air. The lucky recipient's reaction is captured by four hidden cameras — and the video of their experience is uploaded to the cloud in case the package is lost.
Not long after he set the trap, Rober received a notice that the package had been taken. He followed it via GPS to a parking garage where it sat in a cloud of glitter. Watch Rober's video above for the surprised thief's recorded reaction when the box exploded in his car with a monstrous puff of glitter and stinkiness. (Note: There's a lot of bleeped profanity.)
The video shows several other incidents in which surprised porch pirates are showered in glitter. Now, we can't condone sending glitter into the environment, because eventually it will make its way into the oceans. But we are impressed with Rober's ingenuity.
Issues with the original video
After the video went viral, Rober posted on his YouTube page the following update regarding concerns about authenticity.
Note about 2 missing the reactions in the video- I was presented with information that caused me to doubt the veracity of 2 of the 5 reactions in the video. These were reactions that were captured during a two week period while the device was at house 2 hours away from where I live. I put a feeler out for people willing to put a package on their porch and this person (who is a friend of a friend) volunteered to help. To compensate them for their time and willingness to risk putting a package on their porch I offered financial compensation for any successful recoveries of the package. It appears (and I've since confirmed) in these two cases, the "thieves" were actually acquaintances of the person helping me. From the footage I received from the phones which intentionally only record at specific times, this wasn't clear to me. I have since removed those reactions from the original video (originally 6:26-7:59). I'm really sorry about this. Ultimately, I am responsible for the content that goes on my channel and I should have done more here. I can vouch for that the reactions were genuine when the package was taken from my house. Having said that, I know my credibly is sort of shot but I encourage you to look at the types of videos I've been making for the past 7 years. This is my first ever video with some kind of "prank" and like I mentioned in the video it's pretty removed from my comfort zone. I should have done more. Full stop. I'm especially gutted because so much thought, time, money and effort went into building the device and I hope this doesn't just taint the entire effort as "fake". It genuinely works (like all the other things I've built on my channel) and we've made all the code and build info public. Again, I'm sorry for putting something up on my channel that was misleading. That is totally on me and I will take all necessary steps to make sure it won't happen again.
Rober's video has had more than 41 million views. So regardless of how you feel about the errors from the original version, hopefully would-be pirates will think twice before they consider taking other people's stuff.
Editor's note: This article has been updated since it was originally published in December 2018.

Sausage Gravy with Biscuits- A rich and hearty breakfast that will satisfy even the biggest appetites. Comfort food at its finest!
This may come as a shock to some of you, but up until last month, I had never tasted biscuits and gravy. Ever. I worked at Hardee's when I was a teenager, and sausage gravy and biscuits was one of the most popular breakfast menu items. But I never tried it. And my mom never made it. So I made it halfway through my adult life without ever eating biscuits and gravy. I know, it's scandalous.
Then a couple weeks ago, my 16 year old son, who happens to be one of the biggest sausage fans on the planet, asked "Mom, how come you've never made biscuits and gravy?" I had no answer for him. So I decided that it was high time I added biscuits and gravy to my recipe collection.
I of course turned to Pinterest and found several recipes that looked promising. I combined a few of them, and not only tasted, but made sausage gravy for the very first time. What. the. heck. was. I. waiting. for? I feel like I have been missing out on one of the most delicious breakfast dishes of all time. It was SO good! Definitely not something you should eat every day (unless having a heart attack is in your plans), but such a treat for special occasions. I have a feeling my boys are going to be requesting biscuits and gravy on a regular basis.
- 1/2 pound pork sausage
- 3 1/2 Tbsp flour
- 2 1/2 cups milk
- 1/8 tsp seasoning salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp chicken base (or chicken bouillon)
- Brown sausage in a large skillet. Add flour, and stir till all the sausage is coated, and the grease is absorbed.
- Gradually stir in milk, then salt, pepper, and chicken base. Keep cooking and stirring over medium heat till mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking and stirring for a least a minuted, until gravy is thickened. I like mine quite thick, so I cooked for a few minutes longer.
Recipe inspired by Chef in Training. But tweaked to our liking. I can't help it. I'm a tweak-er.

The following organizations working on matters concerning freedom of religion, Human Rights Education and Monitoring Center (EMC), Tolerance and Diversity Institute (TDI), Georgian Democracy Initiative (GDI), UN association of Georgia (UNAG), Media Development Foundation (MDF) request you to consider the amendments to be made to the existing formulations of Articles 9 and 19 of the Constitution of Georgia during the assessment of the current draft Constitutional amendments which restricts the existing declaratory provisions that support freedom of religion.
Weakening Emphasis on Human Rights in General Provisions of the Constitution
According to the draft Constitutional amendment, current article 9 of the constitution - "The State shall declare absolute freedom of belief and religion. At the same time, the State shall recognize the outstanding role of the Apostolic Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Georgia in the history of Georgia and its independence from the State" - as the original provision is being amended so that instead of the following statement - "shall declare absolute freedom of belief and religion", which was followed by the words "at the same time" and recognition of the role of the Church, the draft uses weaker provision with the following formulation: "Along with freedom of belief and religion, the State shall recognize the outstanding role of the Apostolic Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Georgia in the history of Georgia and its independence from the State".
It is noteworthy that despite the maintenance of the words - freedom of religion – in article 9 of the Constitution, the core provision to focus on religious freedom (article 19) will be amended in a way to omit the part explicitly referring to religion, thus, he provision will be reduced to protection of freedom of belief and conscience. Certainly, if necessary, in accordance with internationally recognized principles,[1] freedom of belief will be construed broadly to include theistic beliefs and omission to freedom of religion will not take away religious freedoms. However, in view of the systemic changes diminishing emphasis on human rights and religious freedoms, the modification may create additional concerns for religious minorities and decrease their trust in the state readiness to protect religious expressions. Moreover, the modification of article 19 (article 16 in the draft amendments), is vague in terms of its inconsistency with article 9 which, unlike the latter, refers to both freedom of religion and belief.
Article 9.2 specifies that the relationship between the Church and the State is regulated by the Constitutional Agreement between the State of Georgia and the Apostolic Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Georgia. 2nd subparagraph of the Article 9.2 specifies that "Constitutional Agreement shall be in full compliance with the universally recognized principles and norms of international law, specifically in terms of human rights and fundamental freedoms". Thus, based on the existing formulation, there is another standard for evaluation of the Constitutional Agreement besides the Constitution, which stipulates the necessity of compliance of the Agreement with internationally recognized legal principles and norms within the field of fundamental human rights and freedoms, which, pursuant to the upcoming amendment, won't include specification with respect to human rights and freedoms.
Notably, conclusion of agreements with religious organizations (not merely with a single organization) on certain topics or recognition of their roles is a recurring practice in other countries as well.[2] For example, such relation between the Church and the State exists in Bulgaria. The Constitution of Bulgaria stipulates the status of the Orthodox Church as the "traditional religion", but points to the independence of religious organizations from the state, their freedom, as well as prohibition of utilization of religious beliefs for political purposes.[3] The Constitution of Ireland, despite the religious context of the county, or maybe because of it, directly prohibits the State from supporting any religion.[4] In a similar context, in order to underline the principle of secularism, the Constitution of Poland specifies that the State and religions are separated in their autonomous fields, but co-operate on matters related to public interest. Churches and other religious organizations enjoy equal rights, public authorities shall be unbiased towards matters concerning personal belief, and shall facilitate the individuals' freedom of expression in public spaces. Additionally, the Constitution of Poland, similarly to the Constitution of Georgia, points to the relationship of the Roman Catholic Church with the State of Poland, which is regulated by the international agreement (because of the legal status of Vatican), as well as local legislation. The same provision of the Constitution allows conclusion of agreements with other religious organizations based on law and agreements, which are concluded between respective representatives from religious organizations and the Government of Poland.[5]
Thus, even in cases where such status for a religious organization is approved, Constitutional order sees the importance of inclusion of specific provisions that help prevent the abuse thereof.
Regardless of the described practice, an analogue of church-state relations through a Constitutional Agreement of such status and normative content does not exist in other countries. There is a similarity with agreements formed between Vatican and different states; however, in the discussed case, the essential difference is also evident, since, in contrast with Vatican, the Church is not a subject of international law.[6]
The "Constitutional" status of the Agreement, which in practice means its priority over internal legislation, as well as its formation on behalf of the State and by the President indeed bears certain similarities with an international agreement, despite the fact that the agreement is formed between the State and one of the religious organizations under its general jurisdiction.[7]
Notably, Article 6 of the Constitution that is not being amended based on the draft law, stipulates that "a treaty or international agreement of Georgia, unless it comes into conflict with the Constitution or the Constitutional Agreement of Georgia, shall take precedence over domestic normative acts". Such definition conforms to the "Constitutional" status of the agreement itself, because the Constitution is the national law that prevails over international agreements.[8] Unlike Article 9, Article 6 of the Constitution is not of merely declaratory nature and is reflected in the Law of Georgia on Normative Acts.[9]
Thus, the imposed legal regime points to the prevalence of the Constitutional Agreement over international agreements and declares its supremacy over such international agreements (e.g. European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental freedoms and United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights) that define universally recognized human rights principles and norms.
The fact of defining the Constitutional Agreement as a superior act to international agreements per se does not constitute a breach of obligations under Vienna Convention on the law of treaties, if there is no clear conflict between the Agreement and international obligations undertaken by the State. However, assigning superior legal force to an agreement regulating relationship with a single religious organization over international agreements might constitute a way to circumvent the abovementioned obligations by referring to domestic legislation.
According to human rights based approach, interpretation of Article 6 in conjunction with Article 9 requires making an exception with regard to treaties that define internationally recognized human rights principles and norms and subordinating the Constitutional Agreement to those. However, purpose of such interpretation does not follow from the Law on Normative Acts as well, which makes the evaluation standard defined by Article 9 with respect to internationally recognized principles merely a declaration.
At a first glance, the abovementioned amendments to the constitution are merely editorial and do not change the constitutional standard regarding freedom of religion substantially. However, by modifying the formulation and relocating emphases, extraordinary constitutional status of the agreement with the Orthodox Church is reinforced, precisely at the expense of weakening and removing provisions on the importance of protection of freedom of religion and other human rights.
Weakening emphasis on maintaining "absolute" freedom of religion of people belonging to other religious groups along with strengthening/supporting one religious organization through Constitutional Agreement, might restrict the scope of relative rights under freedom of belief and religion, and show less integrity in terms of protecting the principle of state secularism.
At a first glance, removal of specific definition of the scope of human rights and freedoms from the declaratory provision of Article 9 might be a positive change, because it points to internationally recognized legal principles and norms and doesn't limit it to fundamental human rights and freedoms. However, precisely because of the fact that the most relevant standard for evaluating the Constitutional Agreement is the field of human rights, not jus cogens more broadly, it is important to specify reference to human rights. Maintaining such an approach will be possible by replacing words "namely" with "including/among others".
Retaining emphasis on human rights is more significant as the formulation of the Agreement is devoid of content regarding human rights and it does not even generally refer to equality rights.[10] Moreover, it has to be taken into account, that the provision that assigns the Constitutional Agreement superior legal force over international agreements (Article 6) causes misunderstanding with regard to declaratory provision concerning the compliance of the Constitutional Agreement with internationally recognized legal principles and norms. Thus, in order to avoid interpretations against human rights, it was necessary to amend Article 6, or to reinforce the declaratory requirement of Article 9, instead of weakening emphasis on human rights.
Unfortunately, before the Constitutional Agreement is approved, the parliament didn't consider recommendations issued by international experts, including the Venice Commission.[11] The Venice Commission also saw an issue with the "Constitutional" status of the agreement. According to the Commission, by virtue of approving an agreement that prevails over national law, the status of the Church came close to the status of the branches of the Government, which may have had arisen suspicion and danger with regards to religious dominance over public matters. The Venice Commission recommended conclusion of the said agreement between the Church and the Government of Georgia, not the state. The Venice Committee was afraid that the constitutional status could be used by the Church to circumvent the rule of law, as well as evade observance of civil freedoms. Largely the Commission's fears came true. The attempt to exempt the Church from the responsibility was reflected in anti-discrimination law enacted in 2014, which stipulates, "No provision of this law can be construed to contradict the Constitution of Georgia and the Constitutional agreement between the State of Georgia and the Apostolic Autocephalous Orthodox Church of Georgia".
Relocation of Article 39 of the Constitution from the Chapter on Human Rights to General Provisions
The proposed amendment on the relocation of article 39 – "The Constitution of Georgia shall not deny other universally recognized rights, freedoms, and guarantees of an individual and a citizen that are not expressly referred to herein but stem inherently from the principles of the Constitution" to General Provisions presenting it as one of the definitions of the legal state is important generally with respect to protection of human rights. This way, internationally recognized rights and freedoms that are not directly mentioned in the Constitution appear as principles, as an additional instrument for interpretation by the Constitutional Court, and the possibilities for introducing any new rights within the constitutional order is reduced.
The amendment among others relates to guarantees of freedom of religion, including Article 9, which discusses compliance of the Constitutional Agreement with internationally recognized legal principles. Based on the authority granted to the Constitutional Court, there is no practical possibility of assessing compliance of normative acts to international treaties. However, currently Article 39 (along with Article 7, which is to become part of Article 4 integrating article 39 also) creates the opportunity to evaluate compliance of the Constitutional Agreement not only with the Constitution, but also with internationally recognized human rights and freedoms, which inherently follow from constitutional principles.[12]
Considering all of the above mentioned, signatory organizations note that:
- By weakening the provision "recognition of absolute freedom of belief and religion" and removing the word "absolute", the scope of protection under freedom of religion does not change as such (it is protected by Article 19 which is not modified substantially by the upcoming amendment), however, the revision of the constitution modifies emphasis on a symbolic level. If the original text focused on freedom of religion and mentioned significant role of the Church in connection with that, the proposed amendment shifts accent on the role of the Church. Clearly, despite such formulation, the State remains obliged to offer full protection of freedom of religion and without discrimination. However, in order to underline the principle of secular state, it is important that the original provision is retained and the emphasis is maintained on the importance of full protection of freedom of belief and religion.
- Removal of the provision on the compliance of the Constitutional Agreement with internationally recognized human rights principles and norms, technically, will not be able to annul the requirement of such compliance. The norm retains the provision on the compliance with internationally recognized general legal principles and norms, however, such specification underlines the primacy of human rights and it is important that such specification remains in the article through the use of the word "including". More importantly, the Constitutional Agreement itself, which comes after the Constitution in the hierarchy of normative acts and is an especially high-ranking legal document, does not stipulate or define anything regarding human rights, among others equality principle.
- When there is no clear provision regarding mutual independence and separation of the Church and State, as well as on the relevance of state obligations under international treaties in respect of human rights protection, and considering that the commission had not discussed specification of constitutional guarantees in favor of the principle of the secular state, strengthening the provision on the significant role of the church (by modifying the provision on "absolute" protection of religious freedoms and removing the provision with the emphasis on compliance of the Constitutional Agreement with internationally recognized human rights principles and norms) reinforces, on the level of the constitution, the approach based on exclusive preferential treatment (support and strengthening) of the dominant Church.
When there already is a lot of criticism regarding the Constitutional Agreement (Conclusion of the Agreement with the State, not a state body (e.g. the Government); Extremely complex and nearly impossible procedure of amending the Agreement; Superior legal force of the Constitutional Agreement over international agreements; practical impossibility of Constitutional control of the Agreement), reinforcing the Agreement and the role of the dominant Church seems devoid of legal rationality.
- General Provisions should include fundamental principles of political and social setting of the state. It is vital that the provision regarding the Church-State relations puts an emphasis on the principle of secularism – mutual independence and separation of the State and the Church.
In conclusion, under the circumstances when the Constitutional Agreement and other legislative acts create a privileged, unequal and asymmetric legal state for the dominant Church and in some cases, contain signs of entanglement of Church and State, diminishing the importance of freedom of religion and other human rights in the Constitution which is a fundamental law and a document of political and social agreement, is very problematic and increases criticism on already evident non-secular state policy and the Government attempts of its institutionalization.

[2] Simultaneously with separation of the State and religion, co-operation models based on agreements exist in Portugal, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. According to the Constitutions of Spain and Italy, the Stat retains respective co-operation with the Catholic Church, as well as other religious communities (thus, for example, in Spain, agreements with the Ministry of Justice is concluded not only with the Catholic Church, but with Protestant, Jewish, and Muslim communities as well).
