It's been very busy on my end over the past month. I released my second podcast, published my first flash-read on Amazon, and have crisscrossed the country. Despite all of the good stuff, those who aren't fans of mine capitalized on some mistakes that were made under my watch.
As a superintendent, the buck stops with me. I am responsible for everything that happens under the time I am there. I'm also responsible for giving and getting the best possible education for students. I'm not perfect, and I will never pretend to be, but I will say there is truth in that the higher you climb up the leadership ladder, the bigger target you become.
With being so busy, I hired a media group to take care of my social media and my online presence. I was online from time to time, but I also have twins that just turned two and am making presentations all over the country, so I didn't bother with it. What could go wrong, right (note – sarcasm)? Well…for me, all of it. In talking about some future projects, the person took that information and misrepresented me online. Not cool at all. It eventually turned into a local news story, and before I knew it, I had to start playing defense. I looked like a fool. Had I not corrected any of it, who knows what this would have become?
I fired the company and hired a new firm to handle this. They did, and we move on, right?
I'm thinking to myself that these people could have cost me my career and that no other superintendents would receive such hatred and have stories told about them in troll-land. Then I turned to this research thing called the internet and found over 30 posts about Superintendents resigning.
But this is why I'm on the top of the mountain. Right? I'm paid to take the cheap shots. I'm paid to wear the target. I'm paid to have thick skin and deal with scads of nonsense. If I wasted time on verifying or acknowledging every little thing I've heard about myself, I'd either be dead from stress or would be hospitalized for exhaustion.
I've been "unfollowed" and "unfriended" on social media, and I've read a whole new level of hate mail and threats that I never thought could even exist. Most of it is just true colors; others are just trolls who have nothing better to do. Nonetheless, I had five significant takeaways from all of this.
1. Tell your story, or somebody else will. I've heard a colleague say this over and over again, but it should be gospel. While some say it's better to say nothing at all, I am the leader who refuses to sit back and have my words twisted or have flat-out lies told about me. I have told and always will tell my story. I have nothing to hide, and my accomplishments verify such. If people want to go on and hate, lie, or just try to take me down, I could care less. I will always stay focused and stick to what I believe in and do best.
2. Don't blindly trust a firm to oversee your social media. There are thousands of companies (who charge thousands of dollars) that "manage" your online presence. I trusted a company to monitor my stuff, not fabricate it. While the onus ultimately falls on me for not self-stalking my own presence, I was silly enough to let someone else handle my name. Not cool. Once I saw the misleading information, I had it taken down, and I fired the firm for doing it. It's that simple. Make sure you're searching your name at least once a week.
3. Get out of your own head. For almost a solid hour, I sat reading hateful comments from trolls, wondering why this person and that person disaffiliated from my social media, and even dealt with an idiot threatening to harm my family. I was down on myself and thought I was on a path to failure. Then, reality sat in. Why do I make news? Why do I have haters? Why am I the focal point among some circles? Simple. I'm great at what I do. I rose to the top super fast. I have national accolades. I've brought in international speakers to districts, raised test scores, and have continually bucked the status quo for my entire educational career. I'm far from done, and I won't stop, despite what anyone else says or does. I will make sure that all students get what they need to succeed. Don't overthink anything, especially about the shoulda-woulda-coulda stuff.
4. Less is more. My ROTC instructor once told me that I have the gift of gab. He thought so much so that he made me the battalion public relations officer. That was a pretty big deal in 9th grade. One time, I went on about a topic for too long, with most of the information not even being relevant. He sat me down and said, "From now on, less is more." I have had trouble with that throughout my career. It's a weakness I constantly try to improve. I say too much and get off topic. It's my skeleton in the closet. Keep it short and sweet. Elaborate only when necessary.
5. Stay on the path. I sleep very well at night (and no, it's not because of booze or sleeping pills). I sleep well because everything I've done I did for the best of reasons. I sleep well because I have an amazing network of support built around me. I sleep well because my twins tire me out! I sleep well because I stay on the path in all I do. If I didn't, I certainly wouldn't be who I am today or doing what I do today.
Soooooo…if you can't accept that mistakes happen, or believe everything you read online in a forum of trolls, false tweets, and gossip, then I ask you to please unfriend or unfollow me. If you're believing all of the stories out there about people, afraid of who's looking to see whom you're following, or are just being shallow and don't want to read or hear what's really happening in public figures' lives, that's fine with me. If you haven't figured it out, I could care less what trolls or people that aren't my friends say about me; neither does anyone who is successful. My job is to do what's best for kids. Period.

Fleet Foxes Float Through The Anthem
May 21, 2018 @ 12:00am | M.K. Koszycki
Fleet Foxes' stage presence can be summed up in two words: beautiful and clinical. While these aren't words you would necessarily pair together, the band's show at The Anthem was initially a reserved display of their obvious talent that transformed into more as the night continued.
As a unit, the band is excellent at recreating their expansive sound in large venues such as The Anthem. They also chose a diverse mix of songs, spanning all three of their albums. This came as a surprise to me as their most recent release, Crack-Up, was widely lauded by critics as their best album yet. I expected the night to be heavy on the latest release, but was thrilled to hear the deep cuts.
The band found more passion when they dove into these songs, too. A trifecta of songs from their self titled debut – the crowd pleasing "White Winter Hymnal," jangly "Ragged Wood" and my personal favorite track, "Your Protector" – saw an energy that wasn't evident from the get go. Luckily for the audience, Pecknold and company sustained this passion through the rest of the 22 song set.
Not to detract from the band's skills, as they are a very talented bunch, but frontman Robin Pecknold's solo performances of "Tiger Mountain Peasant Song" and "Oliver James" encapsulated the magic of the band's ethereal, nature inspired sounds.
Like all good things, the lead up to the band's eventual triumphant close was worth it. For the encore, Pecknold was reunited with his bandmates for the anthemic "Helplessness Blues," a song whose chorus begs, "I'll get back to you someday, soon you will see." One thing is clear to see, Fleet Foxes slow burn of a live show is well worth seeing.

The OPRAH Effect—Influential Women Of Diversity To Watch In 2021
Celinne Da Costa
As we close out one of the toughest years on record for business, it's appropriate to reflect on the turmoil and chaos we've been through. We take a moment to think about our struggles and to remember those we've lost. But while we mourn, not for a moment do we forget about all we have to gain.
In 2021, we need capable, female leadership to change our course. The choices we make today will impact gender equality for not only the rest of our lives but generations to come. We have a chance to use our voice and make a difference.
According to a study published by Pew Research Center in 2017, most of the world's nations have never had a female leader. McKinsey cites the figure of women in C-suite positions as low as 21 percent. It comes as no surprise: women are historically under-represented, especially women of color. But in a world without direction, this has to change. For us to well and truly put the pandemic behind us, diversity in leadership is vital. We need modern businesswomen to take the reins and guide us through.
As a reminder of what women can accomplish, we have researched a list of women doing incredible things for equal rights, political change, and the betterment of society. These women have broken the mold to inspire and motivate others, and we honor their journeys and sacrifices. Proudly, we showcase eight influential women of diversity to watch in 2021.
1. Oprah Winfrey

A household name to most, Oprah Winfrey is an American talk show host, philanthropist, and CEO of Harpo Productions. She's best known for "The Oprah Winfrey Show," a Chicago-born broadcast started in 1986 which has since become the highest-rated television program in history. Her candid, confessional approach to media communication catapulted Winfrey into global acclaim as an authoritative public figure. This became most clear in 2008, as Winfrey was responsible for an estimated one million votes after expressing her public endorsement of then-candidate Barack Obama, who went on to win the election in a landslide.
Between her elective impact and charitable donation of $12 million to the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History and Culture, Winfrey takes full advantage of her enormous influence. Her power to influence public perception and opinion is widely known as the "Oprah Effect," as a simple endorsement on her talk show has been known to change the course of events throughout history. Without a doubt, Winfrey is the epitome of ambition, leading not just one but several lifetimes of impact and success.
2. Kamala Harris

Kamala Harris needs no introduction as the first female, first black, and first South Asian vice president-elect of the United States. Born to Jamaican and Indian immigrants in California, Harris has comprehensive experience as a U.S. senator and has dedicated her life to fighting injustice. She has been an outspoken advocate for healthcare reform, the federal de-scheduling of cannabis, a ban on assault weapons, and a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
Now, she makes history and rises higher in leadership than any woman ever has before her. As Harris announced to a captivated audience in her first post-election address to the nation, "While I may be the first woman in this office, I will not be the last."
3. Jodi Vetterl

19 Best Hip Hop and R&B Wedding Songs
Photo: Bella DC / Clapp Studios
If you're a music lover, one of the best parts of wedding planning is creating the playlist that will be the soundtrack of your big day.
The processional song. The first dance song. The mother-son dance. The father-daughter dance. The bridal party introduction song. The jams that get your guests on the dance floor. The last song of the night …
Whether you want your wedding reception to be an all-out hip hop dance party or to include all sorts of musical genres, here are the 19 best hip hop and R&B songs for weddings.
Songs to Walk Down the Aisle To
Every bride wants to make her wedding ceremony processional a memorable one — and that means walking down the aisle to a beautiful song.
If you want to kick off your wedding festivities with a great R&B tune, these two songs are the perfect way to show your love to your spouse-to-be:
"All of Me" by John Legend
Since it was released in 2014, many brides and grooms have walked down the aisle to "All of Me." With its beautiful piano intro, it's perfect.
"Halo" by Beyonce
"Halo" is one of those songs that tugs at the heart. The intro is instantly recognizable, and there won't be a dry eye in the house if you walk the aisle to this tune. We love the original with Beyonce's vocals, but an instrumental version works just as well!
Bridal Party Entrance Songs
When your bridal party makes their entrance into your wedding reception, you'll want the song to set the tone for the entire party. From Chris Brown to Dr. Dre to DJ Khaled, there's plenty of potential entrance songs.
But, these two are our favorites:
"Crazy in Love" by Beyonce (featuring Jay Z)
If you're in the Beyhive, we already know that you're going to play "Single Ladies" when you toss your bouquet! But if you want to add another Queen B song to your wedding playlist, consider playing "Crazy in Love" to kick off your reception. It's an all-time favorite — perfect for bridal party entrances and introductions!
"All I Need" by Method Man and Mary J. Blige
"All I Need" is a great choice if you want to get the party going with a song that gives off some chill vibes. This song is perfect for a bridal party entrance because even your oldest wedding guests will recognize the beat and lyrics from the 1968 Marvin Gaye hit "You're All I Need to Get By."

Of all the wedding songs you're going to put on your playlist, the most important one is the one you dance your first dance to. There are endless options to pick from, but we have a few suggestions, depending on your wedding day style.
For a '90s vibe, there are two classics that will surely have your wedding guests singing along and swaying in their chairs.
These choices will bring back old memories and create new ones at the same time:
"All My Life" by K-Ci & JoJo
"I'll Make Love to You" by Boyz II Men
Want to dance your first dance to a timeless tune that everyone knows but that's not Etta James' "At Last"?
Gorgeous vocals, meaningful lyrics, and stellar piano playing combine in the always classic:
"If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys
Prefer something a bit more unconventional?
With lyrics like "sipping bubbly, feeling lovely," and "I admire your poppin' bottles and dippin'," these two songs are ideal for the modern couple looking to create a one-of-a-kind wedding moment that's 100% them:
"Love" by Kendrick Lamar
"How to Love" by Lil Wayne
Find more options in our 9 Best First Dance Songs article!
Songs to Play During Your Reception

If you're a diehard hip hop fan, there's a good chance that you like to dance! When choosing reception songs to add to your playlist, there are a handful of tunes that are guaranteed to get your guests out of their seats and onto the dance floor.
When the dinner dishes are cleared and it's time to get the party started, we say kick it old school! Some of the best hip hop wedding songs are throwbacks from the '80s and '90s.
So tell your DJ to turn down the lights, get the crowd hyped, and play:
"It Takes Two" by Rob Base
"Humpty Dance" by Digital Underground
"Poison" by Bell Biv DeVoe
"In Da Club" by 50 Cent
"Hypnotize" by Notorious B.I.G.
"California Love" by 2Pac
"Turn Down for What" by DJ Snake and Lil Jon
"Cupid Shuffle" by Cupid
"This is How We Do It" by Montell Jordan
"Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa
It's always fun when DJs and wedding bands play a variety of music from throughout the decades. So when it's time to shift from old-school classics to newer music, tell your DJ to segue with some Snoop Dogg, Usher, Pharrell Williams, and Nelly.

Well I've been fairly quiet for the last couple of months because my x and I have been trying the councelling approach to help get to a joint custody agreement if possible.
Within these months things haven't been the best but they sure weren't the worst either. There was a lot of headway with regards to my girlfriend and the councellor basically told her that my relationship is going forward and time with my daughter and girlfriend was going to increase not decrease and there isn't much she can do about it. He also said that if my g/f and I were to move in the stipulation of overnights would have to be emended to include her.
Now in the last session she said she didn't want to continue sessions because she couldn't stand me and didn't want to have to deal with me at all. She said the last few months we haven't really had to deal with each other so that's why things have been ok.
The councellor was recommending a parallel parenting style and she didn't want to do this. He said he also recommended an assessment to be done - which she also didn't want to have done. He concluded by saying that our daughter is doing esecptionally well with both parents and there is no concern for her at all - and both parents seem to be able to parent her in a very positive maner. I asked the councellor for a report on his views/recommendations.
The councellor acknowledges that the amanosity between us is so great that he feels joint parenting wouldn't work at this time (why he suggested parallel parenting). He also recgonizes that the amanosity is caused because of my girlfriend and she has omitted that she with holds my daughter from me (for any extra time - or vacation sharing etc) because I'll most likely be spending it with my g/f. This is the other reason for him suggesting an assesment because she claims that we can't co-parent and that I'm a lier and he says that a further look would be required to make any further recommendations on custody.
He agreed to give us a letter/report but stated that it would be very short. My concern is that it'll just say that we can't co-parent and not why.
So basically I need to know what approach to take next - at it is, we're only really fighting for custody right now and then about the overnight stipulation that my x put in for my g/f (not spending overnights in the same house).
We've already had the case conference - which didn't go well at all because the judge couldn't make a ruling unless there was concent - and my overnights got taken away.
So do I now file a motion? How much leverage will the psychologist have on the custody? I do have lots of facts of how we've joint parented but she'll say he agrees that it won't work. Should I then push towards joint custody and failing that parellel parenting and failing that sole custody? I know logicalvelocity will say go for sole custody first... I've recommended this to my lawyer but he kind of dismissed it. Would this be a good tactic to go by even though I don't want sole custody unless all else were to fail?
I know she's just playing a game... all her little acqusations stopped while we were going to the councellor and the weekend after we stopped they started again. - stupid stuff like my daughter saw her in the shower and pointed and said 'mommies boobies'. She called me outraged saying that was inappropriate and where did she learn that from. - Well she learned that from me I said because I dont' wear my shirt sometimes and she asked. Then the next day I get an email saying she doesn't believe me and doesn't see how our daughter can make the connection between man and womens breasts and she must have seen my g/f's at some point! She drives me nuts!

Catsvlion,
It appears the wheels have fallen off the cart and a few more months have gone by. One positive thing is that you have a highly credible expert witness.
I seem to recall it was your ex that pushed so heavily for this assessment and counseling and now the expert opinion is out there, your ex is not to satisfied with the recommendation of the parenting arrangement of same.
File a interim motion and use the expert opinion to support your stance. Your primary goal of this interim motion would be to increase your child's contact and perhaps get overnights reinstated. I am sure the courts will see your ex's stance and certainly it is not child centered.
I always recommend anyone in a custody dispute to ask for sole custody and subsequently failing that a joint custody parallel parenting regime right from the start. In your situation I would not veer off track and stay on course. Stick to the Joint custody regime. You do have a problem on your hands that being defacto custody. The courts will not interrupt the status quo especially if things are going well for the child. Your ex is the primary caregiver of the child, and for the most part she has a proven track record.
You could ask that no interim order be made in regards to custody of the child pending trial. A court often orders this but will order a interim residence. This way both parties are on the same playing field. Ultimately the choice is between you and your lawyer.
From the words of the honorable Salhany J.
Kaemmle v. Jewson
Ontario Court of Justice (General Division)
Judgment: October 19, 1993
Paragraph 3 forward of Judgement -This was a motion.
3 The concept of joint custody is a recent one. Historically, Ontario courts regarded joint custody as an exceptional disposition, reserved for a limited category of separated parents. Joint custody was not to be awarded unless the parents were able and willing to co-operate with respect to the child: Baker v. Baker (1979), 23 O.R. (2d) 391, 8 R.F.L. (2d) 236 , and Kruger v. Kruger (1979), 25 O.R. (2d) 673, 11 R.F.L. (2d) 52 , both decisions of the Ontario Court of Appeal. Taken to its logical conclusion, what the Court of Appeal was saying was that unless the parties agreed, there could be no joint custody. If agreement was a condition of joint custody, it logically followed that no court could ever make an order for joint custody in a disputed custody case.
4 In Lewis v. Lewis (1989), 18 R.F.L. (3d) 97 (Ont. Dist. Ct.) , I expressed the view that this view has been implicitly overridden by subsequent legislative enactments. For example, section 16(4) of the Divorce Act provides:
(4) The court may make an order under this section granting custody of, or access to, any or all children of the marriage to any one or more persons.
5 Section 20(1) and (3) of the Children's Law Reform Act , R.S.O. 1990, c. C.12, in less specific language, provides:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this Part, the father and mother of a child are equally entitled to custody of the child.
(3) Where more than one person is entitled to custody of a child, any one of them may exercise the rights and accept the responsibility of a child on behalf of them in respect of the child.
6 In Lewis , I viewed these new provisions as instructing the courts to no longer regard joint custody orders as exceptional circumstances which are rarely, if ever, present in cases of disputed custody. I concluded that if the old law was to prevail, then the new provisions had been enacted in vain.
7 If I am correct that joint custody is no longer to be limited to exceptional circumstances, then it may be necessary to re-examine the court's understanding of the nature of a joint custody order. Traditionally, the courts have considered that a joint custody order must involve mutual and overlapping rights and duties by the joint custodians. I have some difficulty in understanding why that approach has been considered to be essential to a joint custody regime. There are two aspects to a joint custody order -- one is legal custody, the other is physical custody. Although the courts have recognized that there can be divided custody between the parents when determining the aspect of physical custody, there has persisted the view that legal custody must be undivided in a joint custody order. Surely, the concept of joint custody can be a shifting one. When the child is under the care and control of a particular parent pursuant to the joint custody order, why cannot that parent have exclusive legal as well as physical custody, care, and control of that child for the duration of the period specified in the order?
8 I see no logical or historical reason for insisting that a joint custody order must mean that the legal rights of both parents must co-exist at the same time. When a sole custody order is made, legal and physical custody, care, and control are awarded to one parent and access to the other. If access is specified, then the access parent is entitled to see the child during the access period. Such access periods are often described as visitation rights -- the parent has the right to see his or her child and no more. The custodial parent has the exclusive legal right to make decisions for the child pertaining to such matters as schooling, religion, medical or dental treatment, etc. The access parent has no rights in these matters and must rely on the co-operation of the custodial parent to provide information about what decisions have been made for the child.
9 On the other hand, the usual practice in a joint custody order is to define the time when the child will be under the care and control of each custodial parent. Whether the word custody or access is used to describe when the child shall be with one parent or the other is not, in my view, determinative of the legal relationship of the particular joint custodial parent vis-à-vis the child. The legal rights of that parent will depend upon when the child is required to be under his or her care and control. Thus, if the joint custody order specifies that the child is required to reside with the mother during the school week, then the mother has the exclusive legal right to determine what school the child will attend. Similarly, if the order specifies that the child is required to be with his father on weekends, then the father will have the exclusive legal right to make decisions involving events that occur while the child is in his care and control, such as what religious training the child will receive. If the child requires medical treatment, then the parent under whose care and control the child is at the time will have the legal responsibility to ensure that the child receives the appropriate treatment. Although that would give the parent the right to choose the doctor, the courts must assume that he or she will take the child to the usual family doctor who is familiar with the child's history. Deliberately ignoring that common sense approach will demonstrate that he or she is not a suitable parent to have custody.

10 In the Lewis case, I expressed my views as to the advantages of a joint custody order. One of the common complaints of the access parent in a sole custody regime is that the custodial parent will announce at the last minute that a particular access visit conflicts with other plans made for the child, such as a family visit or a sport activity, and unilaterally decide that the access parent must accept another time "to visit" under the threat of not seeing the child at all. Another is that the access parent will be told that if the child is not returned exactly on time after an access visit, future access will be "cut off." The threat of being "cut off" access is occasionally levelled at the parent who may be late in making support payments. In such instance, access parents often feel frustrated in their attempts to develop a relationship with their own child. They regard themselves as strangers, on the outside looking in. Resentment may be directed at the courts, which they may feel are the accomplices of the custodial parent, telling them when and where they can see their own child. Often an access parent will give up in frustration, taking on a more limited role in the life of his or her child, with the resulting loss to the child of the opportunity of developing a relationship with that parent. It is perfectly understandable that a parent, who may have played an important role in the rearing of his or her child, will feel frustrated if the custodial parent is now dictating the terms of access under the constant threat of a contempt application if a term is breached.
11 A joint custody order, on the other hand, has the psychological advantage of allowing parents to feel that they are participating equally in the life of their child and have the right to make some important decisions affecting their child's future. Joint custodial parents may be prepared to accept that they cannot determine what school their child will attend if they know that they can provide religious instruction during their care and control period, or enjoy such other rights as being able to obtain school and medical records without the frustration of having to go through a sole custodial parent. Thus, communication between parents does not become a necessary concomitant to a joint custody regime since decisions on important issues, such as schooling, religion, medical treatment, etc., will devolve upon that parent who has specified care and control of the child when he or she is attending school, going to church, and visiting the doctor.
12 I cannot agree with the suggestion that a sole custody order which entrusts all legal decision making in the hands of one parent will necessarily minimize the conflict between them. Parents who declare war on one another will continue to battle whatever order the court makes. I view the role of the court in custody matters as one of attempting to balance the competing interests of suitable parents, remembering that, above all, the best interests of the child are paramount. But it must be remembered that often what is in the best interests of the child is to know that both parents are interested in playing an important and possibly equal role in his or her life.
13 This is not to suggest that there may not be conflicting legal duties and responsibilities in a joint custody regime that will have to be resolved occasionally by the courts. In my experience, these problems are far outweighed by the frequent applications that are made to the court in those instances where sole custody has been granted. Joint custody orders are more apt to encourage the parents to co-operate than sole custody orders. In my view, the philosophy that joint custody orders can and should only be made whenever the parties are prepared to co-operate fully in every aspect of child rearing only encourages parents to refuse to co-operate so that they can pursue a sole custody order.
To support no interim order in regards to custody of the child pending trial,
Recent jurisprudence on an interim motion
Crocker v. Hooke
http://www.canlii.org/on/cas/onsc/20...onsc12886.html
Schmidt v. Haley
and don't forget the priciple of maximizing contact although no specifically mention in the children's law reform act in can be inferred from the best interest of the child test.
See this case - interim motion by the way
Easton v. McAvoy, 2005 ONCJ 319
http://www.canlii.org/on/cas/oncj/2005/2005oncj319.html
Principle of maximum contact is specifically recognized in subsection 16(10) of federal Divorce Act but not mentioned in Children's Law Reform Act (Ont.) � Nevertheless, this principle can be readily extracted from various "best interest� factors listed in provincial statute and must be considered in court's evaluation of children's best interests.
In this case it appears the a parallel parenting regime was ordered on an interim basis.
Thanks LV - this will help a lot! Much appreciated!
I couldn't find the Kaemmle v. Jewson on Canlii though - where did you find this?
Also, I should point out that since the case conference there was a 4 way meeting which did get my overnights back - just with a stipulation that no 3rd party would stay overnight while my daughter was in my care. (also another area to deal with now - as she is going on vacation with a friend and they are staying in the same hotel room - her friend is female but the stipulation says 3rd parties so it should go both ways)
So as it has been for the past month and a bit I've had my daughter every other weekend from fri to sun and every tues & thurs for 3 hours. I would like to push for more time but unless I push for weekday overnights then this wouldn't be an option I don't think.

D.D. V. A.S.S.
http://www.canlii.org/bc/cas/bcpc/2004/2004bcpc56.html
2004 BCPC 0056
IN THE PROVINCIAL COURT OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
before the honorable JUDGE VALMOND ROMILLY
Paragraphs 20, 21, 26 and 27
ANALYSIS AND DECISION
[20] D.D. in my opinion seems to be proceeding on the assumption that she has exclusive proprietary interests in her son, definitely to the exclusion of the father, and for him to have access to that child he must qualify by meeting her standards and conditions for access. In other words she seems to feel that she is the only one entitled to make decisions regarding her son, and certainly not the father.
[21] I certainly understand the father of the child taking offence to this misguided attitude taken by the mother that she is the only one competent enough to set standards for access to her child, and that the father must be supervised during any access allowed, because of subjective and irrelevant concerns of the mother, which have nothing whatsoever to do with what is in the best interests of the child.
[26] Counsel for A.S.S. has provided me with the decision of A.M. v. C.G., Vancouver Registry 94-6555, a decision of Judge White which states in paragraph 8 as follows:
Counsel for the applicant referred me to Mr. Justice McQuaid's 1993 decision of Sherry v. Sherry, D.R.S. 94-05914 where Mr. Justice McQuaid referred to a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision of Young v. Young, quoting from Mr. Justice Sopinka's judgment as follows:
The long term value to a child of a meaningful relationship with both parents is a policy that is affirmed in the Divorce Act. This means allowing each to engage in those activities which contribute to identify the parent for what he or she really is. The access parent is not expected to act out a part or assume a phony lifestyle during access periods. The policy favoring activities that promote a meaningful relationship is not displaced unless there is a substantial risk of harm to the child.
[27] I find that D.D. will be well advised to heed Mr. Justice Sopinka's words and if she is really interested in the best interests of the child, not try to encumber the father's access by forcing him "to act out a part or assume a phony lifestyle" just to meet her subjective standards and conditions of access, so that "a meaningful relationship with both parents" could be achieved. I feel that she should instead use her best efforts to facilitate the father's access to the child. I also find that A.S.S. is entitled to further access to his child if he is to have a meaningful relationship with his child, and that D.D. has failed to demonstrate any reason whatsoever why such access should be supervised, and I decline to order that A.S.S.'s access be supervised.
Cats v. Lion
In this case (Interim motion) expert opinion cited Kelly/Lamb article and you can also see the honorable Justice inferred to the principle of the child knowing the parent in their own environment to nurture a meaningful relationship between parent and child. This principal originates to the words of the highly cited SCC Case Young v. Young although not mentioned.
Baird v. Webb, 2002 SKQB 518 (CanLII)
http://www.canlii.org/sk/cas/skqb/2002/2002skqb518.html
[8] The father dismisses the mother's fear that the child will be distressed by change of his overnight caregiver. He presented an article by Joan B. Kelly and Michael E. Lamb published in Using Child Development Research to Make Appropriate Custody and Access Decisions for Young Children, Family and Conciliation Courts Review, Vol. 38, No. 3, July 2002, 297-311 at pages 308-309:
The extent to which infants and toddlers can tolerate separation from significant attachment figures is related to their age, temperament, cognitive development, social experience, and the presence of older siblings. Aside from their very immature cognitive capacities, infants have no sense of time to help them understand separations, although their ability to tolerate longer separations from attachment figures increases with age. The goal of any access schedule should be to avoid long separations from both parents to minimize separation anxiety and to have sufficiently frequent and broad contact with each parent to keep the infant secure, trusting, and comfortable in each relationship.
Preschool children can tolerate lengthier separations than toddlers can, and many are comfortable with extended weekends in each parent's home as well as overnights during the week. In general, however, most preschool children become stressed and unnecessarily overburdened by separations from either parent that last more than 3 or 4 days. The exception might be planned vacations, in which parents and siblings are fully available to engage preschool children in novel, stimulating, and pleasurable activities. Even so, most parents would be advised to limit vacations at this age to 7 days and to schedule several vacations rather than one single lengthy vacation.
and paragraphs 9 and 10 respectively
[9] I am concerned about the impact on a one-year old child of an access order that subjects him to six hours of highway travel every time he is delivered into the care of his father. Unfortunately, it cannot be avoided. If the access is to be meaningful and beneficial to the child, it must be exercised as the father sees fit. It must take place in a surrounding that is comfortable for both father and son; a place where the father can behave in a spontaneous and relaxed manner. Only then can the child know his father. That will not happen if contact with the father is limited to a few hours in a Wal-Mart mall.
[10] I am satisfied that alternate weekend access is appropriate in this case, although not for the length of time suggested by the father. To begin, his access should be from Saturday morning to Sunday evening twice a month. The mother should share the transportation burden by delivering the child to the father in Regina and picking him up there when he is returned. It would, therefore, be convenient to her if Daniel's access weekends coincided with the weekends the mother takes her older child to Regina for visits with his father. Time of delivery to the father and return to the mother will have to be worked out by the parties to their mutual convenience. There will be an order accordingly. If the visits go well, Daniel's time with his father should be extended, perhaps commencing on Friday. Hopefully, the parties can work this out themselves, together with such things as holiday and special events access.
Another case interim motion
Stewart-Croll v. Croll - 1996
Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench
Factors governing award of interim custody -- Status quo.
The parties separated six months after the birth of their child. The child, now almost aged 2, had remained in his mother's care ever since the separation, but the father had been exercising access every second weekend when he worked weekdays, and two days per week when he worked weekends. The mother moved to a town 45 minutes away to live with her parents. The father remained in the matrimonial home. The father grossed $2,692 per month. The mother grossed $2,168 per month. She anticipated that if she moved out of her parents' home, she would be in a deficit position of $900 per month. The child care costs alone were $357. The father had been paying $400 per month child support pursuant to an interim interim order, but he did not disclose that he received rental income over the summer, nor did he volunteer to pay increased child support when his income was increased by the rental income. The mother sought an order of sole custody and the father sought an order of joint custody.
On an interim basis, it is my view that there should not be an order of custody. However, in light of the fact that the mother has been the primary care giver of Dylan prior to and after the separation, common sense dictates that on an interim basis, this situation should not be disturbed. I am therefore satisfied that on an interim basis, it is in Dylan's best interests to remain in his mother's primary care and control.
and Paragraph 6 and 7 respectively
6 In considering the father's periods of care and control, I wish to ensure that the child have as much contact with each parent as possible. This becomes more complicated due to the 45 minute drive between Winnipeg and Carman. Fortunately, frequent and regular contact by the father is not impossible, due to his work schedule. Although the affidavit material did not set out the father's present work schedule, counsel agreed that I could take into consideration unsworn information that was presented respecting his present schedule. When he works weekdays, the father works shifts from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This arrangement will be in place until spring of 1996. In addition, there will be some weekends when the father will be required to work.
7 I am therefore ordering that when the father is working weekdays, he will have care and control of the child every second weekend from Friday after day care to Sunday at 6:00 p.m. In addition, during the weeks when the father is working weekdays, the father will also have access to the child 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. When the father is working on the weekend, his periods of care and control will be three days during the week, the days to be chosen by the father. The father will have the choice as to whether or not he wishes to pick the child up at noon from the day care on the first day and/or drop the child off at the day care in the afternoon of the third day. This would be one way of avoiding the inevitable penalty imposed by the day care for missed days. In any event, the father will be responsible for any penalty imposed by the day care for missed days, while he is exercising his access.
The language in this endorsement is similar to Joint Parallel Parenting regime and endorsed the child's primary residence in the interim due to status quo.
It appears that both parties received a custody order of when the child is in theri respective care and control.
Although, an unrelated case, this interim motion accepted the highly cited SCC case of Young v. Young on an interim motion
M. V. v. J. R. T
ONTARIO COURT OF JUSTICE
Before Justice Penny J. Jones
[18] In Young v. Young, 1993 CanLII 34 (S.C.C.), [1993] 4 S.C.R. 3, 160 N.R. 1, 34 B.C.A.C. 161, 84 B.C.L.R. (2d) 1, 56 W.A.C. 161, [1993] 8 W.W.R. 513, 108 D.L.R. (4th) 193, 18 C.R.R. (2d) 41, 49 R.F.L. (3d) 117, [1993] R.D.F. 703, [1993] S.C.J. No. 112, 1993 Cars*well*BC 264, Justice Beverley McLachlin made the following comments at page 120 [S.C.R.]:
[212] I conclude that the ultimate criterion for determining limits on access to a child is the best interests of the child. The custodial parent has no "right� to limit access. The judge must consider all factors relevant to determining what is in the child's best interests; a factor which must be considered in all cases is Parliament's view that contact with each parent is to be maximized to the extent that this is compatible with the best interests of the child. The risk of harm to the child, while not the ultimate legal test, may also be a factor to be considered. This is particularly so where the issue is the quality of access � what the access parent may say or do with the child. In such cases, it will generally be relevant to consider whether the conduct in question poses a risk of harm to the child which outweighs the benefits of a free and open relationship which permits the child to know the access parent as he or she is. It goes without saying that, as for any other legal test, the judge, in determining what is in the best interests of the child, must act not on his or her personal views, but on the evidence.
[19] Although Young v. Young was decided in the context of the Divorce Act, R.S.C. 1985 (2nd Supp.), c. 3, I accept that the above-noted comments are equally true in the context of the Children's Law Reform Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. C-12. The best interests of the child must govern any determination of the form of access to be granted to the non-custodial parent and the court must decide this issue on the evidence.

Have you ever written a to-do list, only to find that, at the end of the day, you hadn't even managed one item on it?
When you fail to make headway with your to-do list, you might end up blaming yourself – but it's probably not your fault.
To-do lists are great tools, but to be truly effective, you need to know a few tricks for making them work well.
Does your to-do list look like this?
While you might know exactly what these mean in the context of your day, there's also a good chance you've not really pinned down each task.
After all, you're unlikely to sit down and get all your taxes completely done in one session – and when you see "taxes" on the list, your first response is probably to jump straight to the next item.
Check tax deadline, and sort all receipts into date order.
Look into the top three options for a new desk.
Call Bob and Jane to confirm dinner this weekend.
Sometimes, a vague item is a big project that needs breaking into smaller tasks. "Write report" often isn't something you can easily get your head around – but "get data for section 1 of report" is.
By breaking up any big projects into smaller tasks, you make your to-do list much more valuable. Once you actually get going on those tasks, you'll already have done some of the high-level thinking – and you can check them off your list one by one, creating a (well-earned) sense of steady progress.
Perhaps you write a to-do list every day, but you rarely get through more than a few items on it. Unless you have at least a rough idea of how long your different tasks will take, you won't know how many you can accomplish in a day.
It's hard to work from a single, big, disorganized list. If "buy milk" is next to "phone client" and jumbled up with "go to the gym", you may find yourself accidentally missing out some of your tasks.
If your list is a mess, it's also far too easy to end up prioritizing the little tasks over big ones: you want to clear out as many to-dos as possible, regardless of how big or small they might be.
It's up to you what categories you create, and you may want to experiment with using different ones, and with using more or fewer categories, over several weeks or months.
If you've got a bunch of similar tasks, try to do them in batches, rather than one at a time. For instance, if you need to make ten phone calls this week, it'll be most efficient to do them all at once – say, on Tuesday morning – rather than doing two each day.
Sometimes, this might mean reorganizing the way you complete a particular project. If you normally create each slide for your presentation separately, finishing Slide 1 before starting Slide 2, you might find that it's more efficient to create draft text for all the slides, then find and add images.
Finally, a great way to get more from your to-do list – especially if you're in a tight spot – is by prioritizing.
One powerful way to prioritize is by using your best time of the day for your highest-energy tasks. That way, you'll get the important things done while your brain is in gear, and you can deal with chores or admin when you're not feeling quite so energized. Your peak time might be morning, afternoon, or night.
Prioritizing is also really useful when emergencies crop up. If something derails your day, don't panic – instead, grab your to-do list, and highlight the items that really, truly have to get done today. Next, use a different color to highlight those which it would be useful to get done today. Now you can work through the high-priority items first, knowing that the others can wait till tomorrow if necessary.

Q: The basics of batch processing: Where should I start? I would like to get into batch file processing for Windows, but I have zero experience in this area. If you can point me in a general direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Other potential questions:

*

*What are the risks to be avoided with batch processing?

*What is the basic structure of a batch file?

*Are there examples of basic types of batch files, where I can put into action?

*What are some basic types of batch commands?

A: Bach is a very methodical and ordered programming language that runs heavily on the Windows internal CMD or runline commands you're most likely familiar with. The main use of Batch from my personal experience is to use scripts to automate mundane tasks that need to be run every time something happens, for example at user startup.
I bet you could quite easily make a basic script now just buy learning what a) every bactch file should ideally have/need and b) by recognising that by default a batch file will read from top to bottom executing one command after the previous one finishes or fails.
In answer to your specific questions:

*

*The risks to batch processing aren't really existent if you script something properly and test it every step of the way. - I would of said that anyone can easily see your code but third party tools will convert batch to .exe files without a problem.

*I've listed some example codes with a few explanations at the bottom of this answer.

*Again see the bottom of my answer for some basic scripts that will work on your computer (providing it's a version of Windows).

*As I mentioned above any command you can type in to a CMD window will work within a batch file, so you can use command /? within a CMD window to check parameters and the way you should write your commands. For example type in to a CMD window ipconfig /?.

Basic Batch File Structure (Save as test.bat)
@echo off
title Test Batch Script
color a
echo.
ipconfig /all
echo.
echo Above is your IP information.
pause>nul
exit

@echo off - This turns off the CMD prompt until turned on again, without this every action is displayed, on the above script remove the line or turn it on to see the effects.
title - This is quite self explanitory, this command titles the CMD window to your choosing.
color xx - color xx changes the colour of the background and text, the first value is the text and the second is the window background. - Use color /? in a CMD window to find all the possible combinations and choose one for yourself, for example color 1f
echo. - This will enter a line break in to the file itself, I use this mainly for spacing text or adding a few lines under commands so my text can be seen clearly after commands have run.
echo - This will print the line of text you're trying to say, for example echo hello will display the text hello in the window.
pause>nul - This will pause the batch script from advancing to the next command in the series. - however just using the command pause will display the text "Press any key to continue..." using pause>nul will remove this message. Not essential but personal preference really.
exit - Exit will of course close your program, however not necessary when batch scripting as the script will close when no more commands are left to run, providing that no user input is required.
I feel that I've given you a basic and common batch file using all the most common commands that you'll use nearly every time you make a batch file.
The other answers have listed a lot of resources you can use to learn more. - Batch is an extremely easy language to learn but can get tricky depending on how much user input is required or how automated you want to make something.
Get to grips with my example and replace ipconfig /all with different/multiple commands to practice using them within your scripts.

A: In relation to the risks inolvd with batch programming, the worst that can happen is that when working with some files on your computer your batch script may malfunction, causing the files to be either erased or ruined. That is why, it is recommended to back-up all files before testing a batc script.
The basic structure of a batch file varies quite oftenly. When you start of you will mostly rely on goto loop structures. Where your script will start of with a series of commands (normally the first one being @echo off) and then making the script goto diffferent parts of your program.
Later on you will rely on for loops and batch calling.
To find some half decent batch app's I recommend you look online as there are some sights which can contain quite a few.
For basic tutorials, I recommend you start of by making simple batch apps to do very basic things like count.
Hope this helped, Mona.
P.S. Here are some I recently uploaded some of my old batch apps on instructables, here are the links:

*

*Naughts and crosses

*Calculator + Tutorial

*Encryption with 7zip

A: go to http://www.dostips.com/
list of basic commands:
echo hello world ::will write hello world to the screen
echo %time% :: will write the value of the variable time to the screen
cd dir ::will go into the directory named dir

for /l %%i in (1,1,5) do echo %%i ::will echo 1 to five on the screen
ping host.com ::will check if you can connect to host.con and diplay some results.
copy a.txt dir\dir2\b.txt ::will copy a.txt to the second argument.
move a.txt ..\a.txt ::will move a.txt to the parent directory.
ren a.txt b.pdf ::will rename a.txt to b.pdf
command /? ::will display help on a command

here are some sample files I made:(blank lines matter)
file1:
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set NLM=^

set NL=^^^%NLM%%NLM%^%NLM%%NLM%
for /f "delims=" %%i in (a.txt) do set a=!a!!nl!%%i
echo %a%

file2:(each for is a single line)

@echo off&setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
if '%1'=='' (echo missing parameter&pause>nul&exit /b)
for /l %%i in (%1,-1,0) do for /l %%j in (%%i,1,%1) do set %%i=!%%i!
for /l %%i in (0,1,%1) do (for /l %%j in (0,1,%%i) do set nums=!nums! %%j)&echo !%%i!!nums!&set nums=
for /l %%i in (%1,-1,0) do (for /l %%j in (0,1,%%i) do set nums=!nums! %%j)&echo !%%i!!nums!&set nums=

file3:
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "delims=" %%i in (a.txt) do set a=%%i&set a=!a:""=! &echo !a!>>new.txt

file4:(for is one line)

@echo off
for /d %%i in (*) do for /f %%j in ("%%i") do (dir "%%i" /b|for /f %%k in ('find "%%j" /v') do @dir "%%k" /b /s|find "thumbs.db" /v)

email me if you have questions. I know batch better than any other language and love it. my email is: 12nephi12@gmail.com

have fun!!! ;)

Quintiq said its software would give planners the tools to: make informed decisions in workforce planning and scheduling; comply with occupational health and safety practices and processes; enable managers to proactively manage their teams; empower them to make customer-centric decisions that would improve service reliability and punctuality.
State owned KiwiRail operates three inter-island ferries, three long distance passenger services, 198 mainline locomotives and 4,585 wagons. It claims to transport 25 percent of New Zealand's exports.
Quintic, a subsidiary of French company Dassault Systèmes, set up its Australia and New Zealand subsidiary in 2007. New Zealand's Aviation Services Service has been a user since 2010.
In June 2016 Quintiq announced that Sydney Trains had opted for its workforce planning and scheduling software. It is also used by Queensland Rail.


Xmas are really getting close now and I just need to mention about recent project which is Xmas "make-up" [read: display] for the cutest of Tomorrow Land family – select shop simply called Land of Tomorrow in Tokyo`s Marunouchi district. The project came to life in collaboration with my friend and interior designer Ryoko Ando and her DesignMusica. The concept was simple: to make it Xmasy with a twist so in result all went up-side-down basically, with gold-ish and silver-ish, silky and some blue colouring inside and more warm one in the windows. And as all Xmas displays, by their nature, last shortly so Land of Tomorrow Xmas make over does – it is on only till 25th Dec. I also need to mention as well as the shop itself is soooo worth to visit – great interiors and amazing selection of fashion goodies – not only during Xmas time, of course!!
Thank you to Vantan VIP`s students for help with setting the display up.


A groundswell of Native American activists has temporarily shut down construction on a major new oil pipeline with an ongoing protest that has drawn around 1,200 people to Cannon Ball, N.D.
Construction workers walked away from their bulldozers Monday after protesters surrounded the equipment and called for an end to construction of the Dakota Access pipeline. A group of protesters on horseback also staged a mock charge toward a line of law enforcement officials guarding the site, and the county sheriff alleged others have fired guns and set off pipe bombs.
The $3.8 billion pipeline at the heart of the protest would carry about half a million barrels of crude oil per day from the Bakken oil field to Illinois where it would link with other pipelines to transport the oil to Gulf Coast refineries and terminals.
The protest was staged at a spot where the pipeline would pass beneath the Missouri River, just upstream from the Standing Rock Sioux reservation, a community of 8,500 along the Missouri River in North and South Dakota.
Protesters from dozens of tribes across the country are now camping in tents, tepees and mobile homes at the Sacred Stone Camp a mile and a half from the construction site. A video shows a second, more recently established campsite, the Red Warrior Camp.
"This is an important energy infrastructure project that benefits all Americans and our national economy," it said. The company did not respond to a request for additional comment.
The Standing Rock tribe, one of the poorest communities in the nation according to 2010 census data cited by the tribe, relies on the Missouri River for drinking water, irrigation, fishing and recreation, and for cultural and religious practices. The reservation covers about 3,600 square miles along the river.
The suit alleges the pipeline violates the Clean Water Act, the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act.
Protests against the pipeline have been ongoing since April. In July, a group of roughly two dozen from the Standing Rock tribe completed a nearly 2,000-mile relay from Cannon Ball to Washington, D.C. They delivered a petition with 150,000 signatures to the Corps calling on it to halt construction of the project.
On July 25, the Corps approved construction of the section of the pipeline upstream from the Standing Rock reservation, and ground was broken on August 10. Protests at the site started small, with about 50 people and grew to an estimated 1,200 on Wednesday, according to Morton County Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier.
As the number of protesters at the construction site and the nearby Sacred Stone Camp swelled, tensions between activists and law enforcement rose.
Protesters came on horseback Monday and a video shows what appears to be a mock charge aimed at law enforcement officials who had formed a line along a steep embankment near the entrance to the construction site. The video shows horses charging toward the officers and pacing in front of their line, directed by activists who yelled a "war whoop," or battle cry.
Neither the horses nor the protesters made physical contact with the officers, according to Montgomery Brown, a member of the Standing Rock Sioux tribe who was at the protest. The officers, however, appear visibly frightened in the video and quickly scrambled up the embankment away from the horses.
Camp said the demonstration was part of a traditional ceremony that brings in the spirit of horses, and Brown called it a traditional way of introducing warriors from separate tribes. The officers were notified of the ceremony ahead of time, Camp said, and were asked to back up to give the horses space.
Kirchmeier said the protest had become "unlawful" as his officers reported incidents of shots being fired, pipe bombs, vandalism and assaults on private security personnel. Construction on the pipeline near Cannon Ball has been "discontinued for the time being," Kirchmeier said.
The Army Corps of Engineers declined to comment on the project citing the ongoing litigation.
While the protest in Cannon Ball is primarily Native Americans, ranchers are challenging the project elsewhere along its 1,168-mile path. On August 9, lawyers representing 14 Iowa landowners filed a motion to halt construction of the pipeline across their property. The suit challenged Dakota Access's use of eminent domain to seize land for what it says is private use.
Over the past year, protests against fossil fuel infrastucture projects nationwide have increaseed, and at least 24 dozen projects have been rejected or canceled for myriad reasons, the most prominent among them the Keystone XL pipeline.
Protesters at the Sacred Stone Camp said they are hopeful that a federal court will rule in their favor when their case is heard on August 24. In the meantime, they are planning to continue their protests.
Brown, the Standing Rock member, who is also a former Navy medic, said he is seeking additional medical professionals to help ensure the demonstrations can last.
