you're unlikely to find either since all such proceedings are held in camera and compartmented under section 97 of the Children Act. I have a lot of experience in the field and can tell you from my experience that it is not only common, it is becoming a problem for the Judiciary since more and more people (women as well) are becoming aware of 2(4) and realising just how much of a pain in the arse it is for any father who tries to gain custody of his own children whether from private proceedings (eg divorce) or from public proceedings (care and adoption, erroneously referred to in the press as child protection) when he gets told during the hearing - after he's forked out for a barrister - that actually "Sorry, Mr. Smith, you don't have the legal right to make claim on your children because the Law specifically says you DO NOT!". Loopholes do exist, but it involves more money than most people who find themselves in these situations have or are ever likely to earn, and as fast as they're discovered and exploited they're being closed. For example, that a child could apply for discharge of a section 31 care order - until 2010 when Jack Straw made it illegal for a child to complain about the care he was receiving. Loophole: closed. A glaring loophole that was closed before it could even be exploited was the authority to instigate section 31 proceedings against a caregiver in order to gain custody; it was reduced to the police (in lieu of or in conjunction with their controlling authorities) or a private charity (the NSPCC) as the only two bodies who could instigate such proceedings.
To answer your first question: legal guardian, as in being able to speak for the child's wishes in a legal situation such as custody. Mothers still have this responsibility (NOT A RIGHT) in private law, but in public law (care and adoption) that role is deferred to a court appointed guardian ad litem and the father is as always reduced to dual role of sperm donor (transient) and bank on legs (permanent).

To answer your second:
- Physically speaking, surrogate mother and wet nurse.
- Traditionally speaking, serving staff at a topless bar (lawsuits, seriously?).
I definitely call bullshit on that. Men are harassed in Law (did you know that men are not considered guardians of their own legitimate offspring in England?),
That is absolutely wrong,

Handful? I'll match you one-for-one any day of the week. I'm not discriminatory. Oh, and citations needed for your claims, since you state official statistics, I want to know what official statistics, where they are, and who sponsored their collection.
yeah, they'd be in hermetically sealed, "normally" indestructible containers with Customs Inspection stickers all over them as well. And for a bulky item such as a canine brain, more likely to have been delivered by a specialised courier than the letter mail service.
absolutely, and I might point out as well that I didn't use the blanket term "feminists", I used "militant feminists" as a reference to that tiny but extremely vocal minority who give legitimate feminism a bad name. Yes, there is a legitimacy in feminism as much as there is legitimacy in Nazism, Catholicism, Islam, any other ~ism you can think of. It's the radicalisation that fucks everything up. When you start throwing pig blood at politicians, gassing trainloads of people for little other reason than the shape of their nose, burning crosses on front lawns, running into public buildings wearing bomb vests, that's when you lose the legitimate message and turn into a fucking loon.
Thatcher wasn't a straight white male (there may be some room for debate on all three points of that one, but let's not go there), but what she did in 1982 was pretty fucking evil I think.
Think about it for a second: what we call the Falklands was annexed territory from the Argentines, who only wanted it back; they only invaded after all legal channels were exhausted. Thatcher sent practically the entire Naval reserve five THOUSAND miles to kick the snot out of the rightful owners of that territory for their brassbollockry in even DARING to reclaim THEIR OWN FUCKING PROPERTY.
ok, just one question: how in the actual fuck did a dead animal get through the postal system without some worker saying "What the fuck is that stench?? Smells like something fucking DIED in here!"??
As to the other restricted items claimed to having been sent through the mail, I call "WTF?? SRSLY?" on those as well.
just remember that al Jazeera is State-owned and funded by the Qatar Royal Family, the House of Thani.
Bet your arse they're not going to say anything bad about Qatar's allies, such as the US (who are clearing the path for their gas pipeline through Syria avoiding Turkey, see some of us remember you fuckwads) or France (who funnel pretty much all of their American tech through subcontractors because unlike the US, France will still deal with just about fucking everybody).
I have one mod point left. If I hadn't already commented on this thread, you'd have a +1 informative, because I don't know what the fuck is going on with this gamergate thing...
I definitely call bullshit on that. Men are harassed in Law (did you know that men are not considered guardians of their own legitimate offspring in England?), men are harassed in the workplace (some jobs you can't get if you have a penis - simply because you have a penis), men are harassed constantly, and IT IS WORSE if you're white and straight because that makes you a legitimate target for militant feminists.

Sort of related, there was a movie on TV the other night, called Into Infinity, made in 1975 by Gerry Anderson. Concerned a family a la Lost In Space - yep, lots of science[TM], I mean actual science, not the typical Hollywood explanation "Why is the sky blue?" "BECAUSE SCIENCE!", but "Because the predominant gas, nitrogen, scatters blue light and absorbs red". I'd love to find it for download, 'cos it's actually pretty entertaining - and still pretty accurate.
we're not talking about commodity gear here, this is frontier tech as it has been the entire run of the space program so far. They still haven't got EVA gloves right yet (too bulky, means that equipment designed for orbital maintenance has to be given the Duplo treatment - handles twice as large as they would otherwise need to be, etc.), manned capsules are still touch and go, with a what, 1 in 50 chance of a catastrophic failure at any point in the mission? Still not bad odds considering we're talking about the most complex machines ever conceived of by human minds (the shuttle orbiters have over 2.5 million parts and 230 miles of wire - each. Any one of which can fail with potentially fatal consequences). Step one of having a viable programme is reducing the odds of failure while maintaining or improving the safety record. Reducing the odds of failure involves reducing the number of parts which can fail, ie simplifying the design - considering the SOV programme was pretty much experimental by its very nature, I think the kinks are fairly well known by now.
I thought a swarm decreased the chances of a big one by virtue of the smaller releases of tension between plates? I'd be worried if an area prone to tremors suddenly went quiet.
not to burst your balloon (snap), but according to the ICAO 1964 specification (international standard atmosphere, dry air), temperature at 20km is a balmy -56.5C.
Mylar is a polyester, which is a thermoplastic. While the monatomic metal layer does a little for its intrinsic hygroscopic properties, it doesn't do enough (water absorbed this way still freezes and expands, causing the material to crack), and because mylar is gas permeable it is little use on its own as a single-layer envelope material for any but short flights. According to the datasheet from DuPont that I have in front of me, mylar becomes brittle at -100F (-73C). This is easily achieved at altitude with high velocity polar wind currents.
Tor is NOT secure. Their own developers have admitted as such, and from oh, May this year articles have popped up pretty much fucking everywhere about MITM attacks from the NSA and hidden service exploits coming from the FBI; if you think that's secure, well, good luck to you,.
getting clearance doesn't cost, but getting your aircraft certified costs a fucking fortune - particularly if it is *capable* of carrying a human-sized payload (I'm not talking life support gear here, I'm talking about it being able to cause a two hundred pound human being to leave the ground, period). For a home built aircraft, you have to show shed time (several hundred hours for a balloon or airship) with full construction logs and blueprints, and part of the certification for a balloon is a tethered flight over sixty minutes to a controlled landing (for which read: turnaround less than 24 hours and relaunch using the same canopy).
source: built my own PHAB (personal hot air balloon, slightly larger than a hopper but still too small to warrant a basket - it got a bucket seat harness instead) between 2000-2003, got it certified and flew it six times, scoring 11.5 hours not including certification flights.
