SEASON TWO: THE CASE FROM HELL – DREAM TEAM CASE STUDY NOTES
To access the podcast episodes corresponding to these notes, visit www.CPDilemmas.com. There you can access Season Two, Episodes 1-6.
(NOTE FROM DIANE: Names of the parties have been changed to protect the information, but all facts of the case are taken directly from court documents, professionals' written notes, or email communication shared with me. Any parent's quotes are taken from text/email docs provided to me. It will be noted when quotes come from conversation with only Sarah – the one parent I was able to speak to. Any errors are completely my own, but there is so much more evidence than what is listed here, that a few errors wouldn't change the egregiousness of the case's facts and failures. I've used dog breeds for names because I love dogs :-) and I thought a little levity would make it less heavy to read. Thank you for indulging me on that point.)
MEET THE DOBERMANS
Mother: Sarah Doberman, current age - 42
Father: Dave Doberman, current age - 50
Married in 2005; separated in 2015; divorced in 2016
Daughter: Chelsea, current age 14-1/2 (born 2008); talkative, very social, ADHD
Son: Kyle, current age 13 (born 2009); quiet, rule follower, looks to sister for guidance
THE MARRIAGE: History of Conflict (according to Sarah)
Dave and Sarah married in 2005. Sarah reports that things went well (as long as she didn't make waves with Dave) until the children were born. That is when the conflict between them escalated and Sarah could not simply acquiesce to Dave's controlling behaviors. Sarah had a normal birth with Chelsea, but Chelsea was diagnosed with a chronic childhood disease a week after Dave filed for divorce in 2015. She continues to be treated for it today. According to Sarah, she was not notified by Dave upon Chelsea's diagnosis, but his attorney emailed Sarah to tell her that Chelsea was in the hospital and would need treatment the rest of her life. Sarah said she told Dave prior to the hospitalization that there was something wrong with Chelsea, but Dave told her that Chelsea was fine, and that Sarah was just being overprotective. This was the beginning of what Sarah believes to be gaslighting.
Kyle was born a month early and he was evaluated and provided therapy through Babies Can't Wait in another state. When he was five, they did a psychological evaluation on him, something required to enter an Atlanta-area private school to detect any learning disabilities. I have a copy of that evaluation (done while they were married, a year before the divorce filing), and it also came with an evaluation of Sarah. I asked why she was evaluated also (and not also dad or the daughter). She said that while they were married, the children had front row seats to name calling, as their father repeatedly put her down with comments such as dumb, stupid, sick, not well in the head, mentally ill, and mocking behaviors, such as yelling out loud in annoyance or frustration towards her with, "A.D.D.! A.D.D!" in front of the kids. I believed this version of events, since I heard a recent 911 call made by Dave's wife and saw the police body cam video on that same day of Dave talking with the police. Both Dave and his wife tell the 911 operator and the police officer that Sarah is mentally ill and severely ADHD. They also reported on that day that she had repeatedly abused the children, although there is no evidence of that in any of the DFCS or court records I reviewed.
At Sarah's request, she and Dave attended marriage counseling in 2014 with the same doctor who did the psych eval on Kyle and Sarah. Because Dave continued calling her mentally ill, Sarah thought if they used the same professional who did the evaluation of her, she could tell Dave that Sarah was not mentally ill, and it would save her marriage. Dave quit the therapy, saying they couldn't afford it. Sarah suspects it was because Dave didn't want to hear an alternative narrative from the therapist. The only thing Sarah was diagnosed with in that only psych evaluation of her was ADHD and anxiety. There were no diagnoses that indicated she was unable to care for her children or that she had issues that would lead to abusing a child.
LEGAL CONFLICT
There have been a total of six judges, ten different attorneys, two custody evaluators, one GAL, and several therapists involved in the legal actions below that span from March, 2015 to the present. At least ten calls to DFCS (Department of Family and Children Services) were made (I only had documents from DFCS when they closed a case and was not privy to case reports as they were sealed). it is unclear how many times the police have been called. I counted five police reports, but I did not match police reports with all of the calls that were reported to me in Sarah's detailed notes.
HISTORY OF CONFLICT CONNECTED TO SEPARATION AND DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS (2015-2016):
03-07-15 First visit by DFAC caseworker - visits the home and daughter, Chelsea, (age 7) reports to -the caseworker upon entering the room, "My mother pulls my hair and twists my arm" (reported by Sarah). It is not clear who made the DFCS call.
03-25-15 Sarah is served divorce papers and FIRST temporary protective order in her driveway and told she must leave the residence and the children in Dave's custody, which she does.
04-14-15 Violence/protective order dismissed due to failure to prove the occurrence of DV; Sarah is allowed to return home and parties agree to share 50/50 custody of children temporarily while they "nested" in their family home.
May 2015 Dave installs video camera in kitchen. She said (in a later motion) she didn't know about it and that he wanted to record her interactions with the children; he said, in answer to her motion, that she knew about the camera installation and that they agreed it was for safety reasons.
07-28-15 Sarah files for emergency child support to provide food and items needed for the children
07-31-15 Dave responds to request for emergency hearing, saying Sarah has her own income and that he was "forced to request a TPO due to Respondent's abuse of the minor children". Emergency motion for child support is denied, pending temporary hearing in September.
Aug. 2015 DFCS is called based on Sarah yelling at the children on the camera's recording that Dave installed; DFCS investigates, and they have Sarah sign a safety plan, but do not remove the children from Sarah's care.
09-17-15 Temporary hearing on custody and GAL request, presided over by Judge Coonhound, later substituted by Judge St. Bernard.
09-24-15 Order appointing a Guardian ad litem, Ms. Labrador
09-24-15 Affidavit filed on behalf of Sarah by a parent (Mr. Labradoodle) of a daughter who is Chelsea's friend. It stated that he had heard Chelsea say to his daughter, "Daddy told us mommy has mental issues, and we don't have to listen to her."
10-05-15 Interim order, giving Dave temporary primary custody of the children until Sarah completes the DFCS safety plan. Sarah is ordered to do supervised visitation at a visitation center every Saturday for four hours; order allows GAL to alter visitation once engaged in the case.
10-07-15 GAL requests order for all DFCS records for the children
10-08-15 Sarah's attorney, Ms. Terrier, requests to withdraw from the case due to non-payment of fees
10-16-22 In camera inspection of DFCS documents is ordered
10-22-15 Notice of trial calendar beginning 11-06-15
10-28-15 GAL files motion for custody evaluation
11-05-15 Order appointing a custody evaluator, Dr. Beagle
Dec. 2015 GAL puts in place new 2-2-5 visitation schedule for the parties because Sarah had fulfilled the safety plan that she signed with DFCS
02-25-16 Order for late case evaluation
04-12-16 Meeting among GAL (Ms. Labrador), children's psychological evaluator, and both attorneys. Notes from the meeting state: [Custody evaluator, Dr. Beagle] said he was alarmed that Dave used the kids to encourage them to report child abuse on Sarah and that the oldest child, Chelsea, told him that dad tells her to say the things he does about mom, which the evaluator interpreted as a classic and extreme alienation tactic.
04-15-16 Sarah's attorney files for an expedited hearing, stating that Dave is escalating conflict by encouraging the children to report abuse before a final hearing
04-22-16 Dave's attorney, Ms. Boxer, requests to withdraw from the case because Dave wants to seek other counsel
04-25-16 Sarah's attorney files an objection to Dave's attorney withdrawal, stating that he is trying to delay the court process to have more time to make abuse allegations
05-06-16 Dave's NEW attorney, Mr. Rottweiler, files a notice of substitution of counsel
05-??-16 Parties mediate and agree on a parenting plan; according to Sarah, at the time, her attorney told her she did not have money to go to trial so she should settle in mediation. Sarah took the advice and settled, despite never seeing the GAL's or the custody evaluator's pending reports.
05-24-16 Final Parenting Plan Order – May 24, 2016; Sarah gets primary custody; Dave gets one night a week and every other weekend; Sarah is ordered to do therapy with the children, and children are to do individual therapy in addition.
06-17-16 Final Decree of Divorce
06-20-16 Court orders sealing of GAL's and custody evaluator's report, which were never seen by the parties or their attorneys
10-03-16 Dave files a motion for contempt and modification of visitation because Sarah had not started the therapy they had agreed to, and he wanted more summertime visitation than their consent order allowed.
Oct. 2016 Sarah begins family therapy with the children with Ms. Dalmation. She initiates individual therapy for the children with a different therapist, Ms. Yorkshire; she only went to a couple of family sessions with the children because she found out Dave had filed a contempt motion and she needed the money to hire an attorney. She continued the children's individual therapy with Ms. Yorkshire.
11-02-16 Sarah files answer
01-27-17 Consent final order on motion for contempt; Sarah agreed to give Dave summer
visitation and continued individual therapy for the children, but not the previously agreed-upon family therapy.

09-19-18 Hearing on protective order; continued protective order denied by Judge Springer; Dave requests an additional hearing on it (as is his right), which is set for 10-05-18; Sarah gets the children back.
10-03-18 Sarah hires a separate attorney, Ms. Whippet, to assist her with the violence order. Ms. Whippet later bills her $12,000 for the one case (according to invoice I viewed). According to Sarah, she ended up paying this attorney in excess of $14,000, using her mother's credit card.
10-05-18 Letter written to Sarah by DFCS stating that pending case is being closed due to unsubstantiated claims of physical abuse
10-05-18 Sarah's attorney, Ms. Spaniel, asks for a continuance on the violence order hearing because (according to Sarah) attorney learns from opposing attorney that Dave is intending to have the children (ages 10 and 9) testify against Sarah; it is reset for 01-07-18
11-11-18 Dave calls police while children are at Sarah's, saying daughter called him and says she is being strangled by Sarah; police investigate and find no signs of strangulation marks on Chelsea
01-07-19 Order of continuance of hearing on protective order until 02-28-19
02-14-19 Dave takes Chelsea to urgent care in the morning for a reported bruise on her cheek that she said mom gave her; physical examination of the children, DFCS called; Sarah attends Chelsea's cheer practice after school and takes a picture of her smiling at mom with no apparent bruise

02-28-19 DFCS supervisor calls Sarah and tells her that she believes the children are being coached by dad because they use words that children their age typically do not say (reported to me by Sarah; she gives me DFCS caseworker's name, who later shows up on a witness list compiled by Sarah's attorney; that DFCS worker never testifies because hearings were delayed and caseworker moved on to other work opportunities and could not be located after that)
Mar. 2019 Sarah's attorney files motion for attorney's fees she incurred to defend against violence order that Dave voluntarily dismissed; motion was denied
04-02-19 Letter to Sarah from DFCS informing case closed, physical abuse unsubstantiated
05-13-19 Mother's Day; Sarah is at a park with children; Chelsea tells a woman in the bathroom that her mom is abusing her and gives woman dad's phone number; she calls dad, and dad calls the police. Police arrive at mother's home late that afternoon. Police report says they have been to the address before and told Sarah, "if we thought you were abusing the children, you would not have them today."
05-28-19 First appointment for children with new therapist because DFCS thought the current therapist, Dr. Yorkshire, was not helping the children and advised Sarah to find someone else. She takes them to Dr. Shepherd shortly thereafter.
06-09-19 (Sarah's account) Chelsea was hiding a bag in her closet and mom caught her and asked about it. She started hitting mom saying she couldn't show her because she would get in trouble with dad. Sarah got the bag and looked and saw that there was a tracking device in it. She later sent pictures to her (Sarah's) therapist the following week. Both children ran out of the house. Sarah calls the police because she suspects they are running to their dad's house and are going to report on her. By the time the police got there, the children had returned to Sarah's with their dad, and Chelsea had a red mark on her foot and had told the police that her mom stomped on it. The police arrest Sarah, causing her to get emotionally upset, but another officer shows up and tells the arresting officer that he has been to this house before and children are making false reports. Police report states: "Officer says he arrested the mother for allegedly stomping on the child's foot, however, another officer who arrived on scene who had known the family from previous PD calls for similar incidents, felt the children were manipulative and did not feel the mother harmed the children. She was taken off of arrest. Officer brought her to the ER as he felt she would benefit from speaking to someone about the incident and help with her emotional state."
06-15-19 Sarah begins to see a counselor, Mrs. Mutt, for therapeutic support

07-18-19 DFCS investigates police incidences in June; unsubstantiated
07-18-19 Sarah retains new attorney, Mr. Malamute, on a flat-fee arrangement
07-28-19 Sarah is served with the THIRD "temporary" protective order, signed by Judge Springer; she is denied access to the children
08-08-19 DFCS case closed, physical abuse unsubstantiated
08-10-19 Police are called to do a welfare check on children while at Sarah's; it's unclear who called, but Sarah assumes it is Dave because she had the children in her care.

02-19-20 Sarah's therapist advises her to consider hiring a supervisor for the visits to protect her from the children making continue, which she did that day. Sarah emails Dave to let him know that she will be hiring a supervisor and he tells her that she cannot do that because the court order does not allow it. Sarah eventually decides against it because she can't afford it.
03-04-20 Sarah (acting pro se) motions to dismiss the protective order based on the 90-day clause which is expiring from the original order. Motion was denied. Dr. Schnauzer still working on evaluation.
03-16-20 COVID lockdown and courts closed indefinitely
03-25-20 Dave's attorney sends a letter to the court, stating that they are not ready for mediation prior to 04-03-20 hearing until Dr. Schnauzer finishes his report.
During COVID crisis, Sarah continues public visits twice per week, despite no restaurants or public places being open.
NOTE: Left off of this timeline are the numerous emails, photos, and visitation reports that show the children, from this date until present, increasingly become difficult with Sarah, do not want the visits, disrespect her in public restaurants to the point that they are asked to leave because of the children's destructive behavior. Sarah's therapist noted that she met the children once when Sarah brought them to a session because she couldn't get childcare. The therapist put the children in a private room that they vandalized without remorse, while Sarah was in the therapy session. The therapist said she began to work with Sarah on discipline strategies for the children while in her care. But the children were removed from her care shortly after that due to the modification and violence order that remains in place today. During the entire public visitation time, it appears Sarah has only missed a couple of visits with the children due to illness or scheduling conflicts, but she has missed numerous visits with the children because of activities that were scheduled on her visitation time that she was only recently allowed to begin attending.
05-07-20 120-day status conference set for 06-05-20; orders mediation to take place before status conference

06-01-20 Dave files an emergency motion to seal the records Sarah used as defenses in her answer on 5-29-20, to include the police report that states the children were manipulative, as well as the unsubstantiated DFCS reports.
06-01-20 Order to seal the records
06-05-20 Sarah receives email from Dave that he will not meet her at the public place she has chosen because it is 5.2 miles from his home (court order says 5 miles); he sends her a Google map to prove it. She has to choose a different locale.
06-25-20 Sarah (acting pro se) writes a letter to the judge presiding over the violence order case, correcting errors in a letter written to the judge by Dave's attorney (See Note E).
07-08-20 Scheduling order (See Note B), giving Dr Schnauzer a deadline for the evaluation completion (07-31-20)
07-14-20 Email from Dr. Schnauzer to opposing counsel, giving eval status update, saying he anticipates finishing the interviews for the evaluation within the next 3 weeks, not to include the written report. He asks if Sarah is represented by an attorney, and if they want an oral report prior to the written report.
07-28-20 Dave takes children to therapy; Chelsea reports that mom pulls her hair and twists her arm (as she did in 2015 and 2019); Psychologist calls DFCS
08-28-20 Sarah received copy of email to both attorneys from Dr. Schnauzer, who says he has not yet finished his report and will need more time.
08-28-20 Sarah's therapist, Mrs. Mutt, talks to Dr. Schnauzer to express concerns about the case delays and how they are affecting Sarah's mental health; he suggests to the therapist that she encourage Sarah to get on some anti-anxiety medication

03-26-21 Motion to continue hearing; Dr. Schnauzer says he needs 8 more weeks
09-13-21 Email from Sarah's attorney stating that Dr. Schnauzer says he will be ready to meet with the attorneys to give recommendations sometime in the next couple of weeks
10-26-21 120-day status conference hearing set for 01-21-22; order to attend mediation
10-27-21 Sarah's therapist, Mrs. Mutt, emails Dr. Schnauzer to inquire about the delay in his finishing the evaluation; hearing has now been delayed until January, meaning the third holiday season Sarah cannot be with her children because of court delays
11-03-21 Dr. Schnauzer finally meets with both attorneys, Mr. Rottweiler and Mr. Pekingnese, to give his verbal recommendations; no written report is generated; According to Sarah's attorney in an email, he writes: I spoke to Dr. [Schnauzer] and he is recommending custody stay with Dad, not because you did anything wrong, but because the children do not behave while they are with you. He is recommending reunification counseling to be paid by the father. He is recommending less time with the older child and more time with the younger child with you eventually getting a standard visitation plan when recommended by the reunification therapist. We will discuss more details later but that is the basics of his recommendation.
11-06-21 Sarah's therapist, Mrs. Mutt, responds to attorney about reunification therapy and how the court should oversee it; no response is received
11-09-21 Dave's attorney sends Sarah's attorney a proposal (See Note C), suggesting less time for Sarah.
11-15-21 Sarah's therapist, Mrs.Mutt, emails Sarah's attorney expressing concern that no abuse has been proven and the apparent assessment of the custody evaluator that she is an anxious parent makes sense given the nature of the case, but certainly doesn't make her an unworthy parent.
01-31-22 Two-day bench trial set for 05-16-22
04-06-22 Order to transfer case to new judge, Judge Basset; trial delayed until 06-02-22
04-13-22 8-hour mediation with a proposed consent order (see Sarah's email to her attorney after mediation in Note D)
04-30-22 Doctor's office calls Sarah to let her know their daughter's eye surgery is scheduled for 05-12-22. She was not notified by Dave of any problem, let alone surgery being scheduled.
06-02-22 Order to attend status hearing on 08-09-22 via Zoom
06-17-22 Sarah requests and gets a meeting with Dr. Schnauzer via Zoom; she sends questions to him ahead of time via email (see Note G)
06-18-22 Sarah (at the advice of her therapist) sends Dr. Schnauzer an email confirming what he told her were his recommendations and comments (see Note H); he responds with "that sounds accurate."
07-22-22 Police are called by Dave's wife, Sharla; Officer body cam and written report show the following: Sarah took children to movie theater; their two friends showed up unannounced and the four of them began talking loudly during the movie; Sarah asked them to be quiet; Sarah said Chelsea hit her in the head with the phone; Chelsea told the police mom slapped her arm; the four friends left the movie and went out into the hallway of the theater; theater employee reported they ran around the hallway laughing and ended up in the bathroom, giggling; while in the bathroom, Chelsea called her dad; he and step-mom got into the car and on the way, called 911 (I listened to recording and step-mom told the operator mom had a history of abuse and was on mental health medication – neither is true); When officer was talking to Dave at the scene, Dave told him that mom had a protective order against her; officer asked if she was violating it and Dave said no, she was allowed to be with the children in a public place; when Dave told him it was 3 years old, the officer acted surprised and went back to his car to look it up. It wasn't clear from the video what he thought about what he found out. Chelsea told officer that her mom slapped her and showed him a mark on her upper arm; he reported that it did not look like a slap, but more like a grab and that it could have been self-inflicted or one of the friends could have grabbed her. He reported that the stories began to change among the four kids about whether it was a slap or a grab; he left the scene without making an arrest because he could not find fault with any party.
08-09-22 Status conference; Sarah attends; Dave and his attorney do not show
That is where the court records end, as they are behind in getting them online.
10-16-22 – Present time (Diane's notes)
I have created this timeline, and the case remains unresolved, in limbo, and Sarah continues her twice per week public-only visitations that were ordered three years ago. The children, now 14 and 13, continue to be disrespectful during the visits and cause trouble in public, obviously to either get Sarah to stop the visits or to get rewarded by Dave for ruining them. Sarah's therapist has advised her to not attend any more visits that are not supervised by a professional, or she runs the risk of ending up in jail, since the children are becoming more creative and calculated in their attempts to get her in trouble. Sarah says she can't give up on her kids.
The protective order remains in force, despite the custody evaluator stating that she did nothing wrong and that he has witnessed alienating behaviors by Dave and stepmom, Sharla. The attorneys have not come to any agreements based on the custody evaluator's (Dr. Schnauzer) oral recommendations. Sarah has contacted three reunification therapists on the oral recommendation of Dr. Schnauzer. To this day, he has not produced a written report for the parties. I reviewed his contract with the parties and it says specifically there will not be a written report, only verbal to the attorneys, despite him saying in an email to the attorneys that he wanted to give them an oral report prior to the written one. The court order appointing him says there would be a written report, unless the attorneys agreed on an oral one. It is unclear why Sarah's attorney did not ask for a written one. So, we can only surmise that he agreed to the oral report, which is why no written recommendations exist from Dr. Schnauzer. Her half of Dr. Schnauzer's bill was in excess of $5,000. The reunification therapists she called said they had no time in their schedule or did not return her calls at all. Dave has done nothing to that end, as there is nothing ordering him to take action.
It is doubtful these children can be rehabilitated in any kind of therapy to have a normal relationship with either parent. Yet, Sarah fully expects the court to order it anyway to check off the box of attempts to fix the problem at her expense. There is no motivation for Dave's attorney to try this case because his client has the children, and he can just wait for the youngest one to turn 14. Then (in Georgia), they can both simply, and legally, elect to live with dad and not visit mom any longer. Sarah's current attorney is not motivated to try it because he is getting paid a miniscule amount each month. Her attorney advised her this week that she needs to get the GAL from the first case to testify for her if she has any chance of defending against the child abuse. She called that GAL, Ms. Labrador, and was told she would have to do a lot of case research since it has been so long since she worked on it. It will require a retainer at $550/hour – most likely a $10,000 expense, which Sarah cannot afford. She reports her credit cards are maxed to their limits, and her mother cannot help her any further. No one is interested in this case because there is no money left in it, and it has gone on too long. It will likely stay on the dockets until one of the parents simply gives up. The way I see it, there is no healthy solution for anyone in this family, especially not for the children.

NOTE C.
Email from opposing counsel to Sarah's attorney 11-08-21, regarding Dr. Schnauzer's "oral report" to the attorneys – two (plus) years after the order for Dr. Schnauzer's involvement.
Now that I have had a chance to discuss Dr. Schnauzer's recommendation with my client, he would like to propose a change to the current visitation schedule with your client in order to accommodate the recommendation and the parties'/children's schedules. Specifically, he proposes that we move adjust the visits as follows:
First Week – Sarah would have Kyle for a two-hour dinner visit (i.e. 6pm-8pm) on Wednesday and would have Chelsea for a two-hour visit on Saturday.
Second Week– Sarah would have Chelsea for a two-hour dinner visit (i.e. 6pm-8pm) on Wednesday and would have Kyle for a two-hour visit on Saturday.
The schedule shall continue to alternate in a like manner (i.e. First Week, Second Week, First Week, Second Week, First Week, etc. …), pending further order.
All visits shall occur at a public location.
Notwithstanding this schedule, Dave shall have the children for every 5th weekend (i.e. the weekend beginning with the 5th Friday in a given month) pending further order.
Please let me know if this adjusted schedule is agreeable to your client, as I believe it accomplishes two of Dr. Schnauzer's stated goals on an interim basis.
NOTE D.
April 14, 2022. Sarah's email to her attorney (who encouraged her to accept this proposal) after an 8-hour mediation and a consent order proposed by opposing counsel. At this date, she has only had public visits with the children 6 hours per week since 10-23-19 – 2-1/2 years!)
I am tired and still feeling unsettled and uncomfortable regarding this potential settlement. Yes I can sleep on it. However, after thinking about it, these are my concerns. We are now reducing time and now I am not seeing one of my daughters at all during the weekday and it is shortened… we have to follow Dr. [Schnauzer's] recommendations with reducing time, and he is receiving possibly 1/2 of the bill, and I am receiving basically the other half for damage that their father created along with massive attorney bill. They state I have not paid child support, but I have paid some support along the way as I have paid for co-payments, sealants, contacts, eating out 2x a week, etc. What exactly did the mediation accomplish besides possibly removing the violence order? For some reason I am not feeling comfortable, as this was not much of a mediation, as it looks like we lose time together mother/children, while I pay for a reunification with no assurance of a court date, and am now told my reunification therapist will become my only hope, just like I was told Dr. Schnauzer was my only hop. What is the timeframe needed to work my way back to AT LEAST 50/50 parenting? Reunification Therapists are not able to do this. I want to avoid setting up a scenario where I end up a visitor, weekend parent, and bill payer. I have to sleep on this proposed order, however, instead of feeling more hopeful, I feel more unsettled. Thank you.
NOTE E.
Sarah's response to Dave's attorney's letter to the court about continuing the violence order:
In paragraph 2., [Dave's attorney] stated:
Pursuant to the terms of the Consent Order for Continuance of Ex Parte Protective Order
entered on October 21, 2019, [Sarah] is to have supervised visitation with the
parties' minor children pending the completion of a psychological custody evaluation by
Dr. Schnauzer.
To clarify, even though the heading in the order states "Supervised Visitation," the body
of that paragraph states:
Pending further order of the Court, the Respondent/Mother, [Sara}, shall have
the right to visitation with the minor children, from 5:45 p.m. until 8:45 p.m. every
Wednesday, and from 12:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. every Saturday. Said visitation periods
shall occur in a public place within a reasonable distance from the Petitioner/Father's
residence.
"I have maintained the visitation schedule stated in the order as much as possible given the
COVID circumstances, but I have not been "supervised" unless the court considers a
restaurant server a supervisor. On March 15, 2020, I asked [Dave] if I could hire a
supervisor so the children could come to my home since no public places were open due
to COVID, and he refused to allow it, saying it would violate the order (see attached
email response). Yet, [Dave's attorney] persists in calling my visitation "supervised."
Which is it? Thank you for considering this communication. Although I cannot currently afford legal representation, I am intelligent, and I love my children. I look forward to presenting my case in the upcoming hearing."
NOTE F.
Ignore – it was a duplicate
NOTE G.
Sarah's email to Dr. Schnauzer in preparation for their Zoom meeting:
Before our meeting tomorrow at 2:00, I have written a few questions that I would like to have addressed to save time. Please see below:
1) What are the specifics of your recommendation? What leads you to those options? My attorney never shared them with me.
2) What facts are you basing your recommendations on?
3) The books you recommended for reading, including "Divorce Poison," were read by me. What I read confirms Parental Alienation. Do you see Parental Alienation too?
4) How is it considered beneficial for us all to continue public visits in a confined location a few hours a week for 3 years?
5) Why can't the TPO be closed/dismissed since there has never been any evidence of this? It was all based on a false claim and the courts do not seem compelled to seek the truth. The harm done to the children with this one flawed decision is abuse!"
6) My funds are depleted, so what can parents like me do when they are at risk for losing their children (relationship) for false claims of child abuse?
7) I was told you were my "only hope," yet it took over two years for you to give us any direction. In the meantime, the TPO remained in place with no evidence that I am abusing our children which has negatively impacted many aspects in my life from things as basic as renting a house at one point to personal relationships. What hope do you have for us? It makes no sense to suggest that this situation should remain the same, it has promoted further alienation and isolation, just as the format for visitation does now. We need to fix this and start to bridge the divide, not suggest it is too disruptive for the children, when the distorted format currently mandated has left all of us feeling distant and without the intimacy that is essential for family bonding.
I have additional concerns that can be addressed in our meeting. Thank you for meeting with me. I look forward to receiving the link.
NOTE H.
Sarah's email after her meeting with Dr. Schnauzer, clarifying what he told her were his recommendations (and his emailed response was "that sounds correct"):
Thank you for meeting with me this afternoon and clarifying your recommendation as the attorney in November did not relay in detail and a lot of information was missing from your recommendation.
From the notes taken today during our meeting the recommendation was:
Regarding Kyle:
1) Kyle's time is increased to 8 hours a week
2) We have the ability to go anywhere, including my house.
3) We are NOT confined to a 5-mile radius or confined to one location.
4) We work with a reunification therapist-when can this start? I called Dr. Poodle & no answer.
5) I am allowed to pick up Kyle anywhere in my car, drive to home school, etc. (days of choice not limited to Wednesday and Saturday).
6) Kyle and Chelsea are separated for visits (so we can pick alternate days); they do not need to be on the same days.
7) I can attend all school events, doctor appointments etc. Exercise my joint legal custody.
8 We can also work toward overnights as well.
Regarding Chelsea:
1) Chelsea's visits are 2 hour visits, 2x per week, in a public place
2) Does not matter the day.
3) Dave would need to drop off/pick up Chelsea
*You have seen alienating behaviors displayed by Both Dave and his wife
* Dave pays for reunification therapist for Sarah and both Chelsea and Kyle, so he is held responsible to make sure they connect.

Uganda, Tanzania asked to Relax Trade laws as oil Nears
The private sector, specifically those in businesses relating to the oil and gas industry, want the governments of Uganda and Tanzania to lift some national laws that hinder companies from trading especially across the border
The private sector, specifically those in businesses relating to the oil and gas industry, want the governments of Uganda and Tanzania to lift some national laws that hinder companies from trading especially across the border.
Focus has increasingly been put on projects that companies in Uganda may want to undertake in Tanzania and vice-versa for the Tanzanian investors.
Currently, while the two countries have tried to introduce some harmonized policies regarding the industry, the private sector say there are still some areas where it is difficult for them to cross borders.
Patrick Mweheire, the Chairman of the Uganda Chamber of Mines and Petroleum on Sunday gave the example of Tanzania's view of local companies, where for one to be considered, there must be a 25 percent local ownership.
In Uganda, the Local Content Policy provides for companies started and registered in the names of Ugandans, and some products and services in the oil and gas industry have been ring-fenced for them.
The other services are free to be competed for by any person.
Speaking at the Tanzania-Uganda Oil and Gas Symposium in Dar es Salaam, Mweheire asked that such barriers should be lifted for at least three years to help the private businesses in the two countries to take advantage of the available opportunities.
This came after Uganda's Minister for Energy and Mineral Development, Ruth Nankabirwa stressed that investors from either of the two countries will be treated as local companies, a stand repeated by her Tanzanian counterparts.
She, however, asked the investors from the two countries to form cross-border joint ventures which will help share experiences and in mobilizing resources.
She revealed that the East African Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) Bill is due for conclusion in parliament on Tuesday and this will pave the way for several activities including starting construction.
The EACOP is among the last steps towards the development of oil and gas, and the Bill is aimed at domesticating the already signed agreements by the two countries before the company commences construction.
"The law will kick-start the commercialization of Uganda's oil and gas resources and facilitate the upstream partners to take the long-awaited Final Investment Decision and the development of the Petroleum sector," the Attorney General Kiryowa Kiwanuka said recently.
Mweheire, who is also the Regional Chief Executive of Stanbic Bank East Africa asked the governments to step up efforts aimed at empowering the local companies to take up opportunities that may otherwise be grabbed by foreign investors.
In response, President Yoweri Museveni reasoned that the financial sector should focus on economically empowering the local citizens so that when opportunities come up, they do not have to look for emergency solutions.
He says for example, if Ugandans had better incomes, at the start of the oil and gas sector, it would be easy for them to be involved.
On the global campaign against financing the oil and gas products, President Museveni said the industry should not be afraid of the future importance of the commodity.
The developed world is leading the transition to electric vehicles and some cities have given deadlines of between five and 10 years to have eradicated petroleum-powered vehicles off their streets.
This is causing discomfort to the younger and prospective petroleum-producing countries like Uganda about the value of oil.
However, President Museveni says even if the use of petroleum to power vehicles ends in a few years, the commodity will still be required for many uses including in the motor industry.
He gave the example of synthetic vehicle tyres, car seats and another furnishing, clothing, bitumen for road construction among others, adding that it is how oil is applied which is the issue, but not the production of the resource.
Museveni says empowering people economically solves many problems including the issue of the market. Referring to the trade wars between the East African countries, the President said for example, Ugandans are poor consumers of milk and the country finds itself with excess supply.
He also attacked his ministers especially in Finance, Planning and Economic Development for failing to help the sugar industry to diversify to products like industrial sugar instead of quarrelling with neighbouring countries over the market. URN

Q: Sampling/Asymptotic Distribution of Estimated Coefficients of Logistic Regression If I understand correctly, in a logistic regression, we have that $Y_i \mid X \sim Bern(S(X\beta))$ where $S(x)$ is the sigmoid function.
Suppose we estimate $\beta$ using MLE and get $\hat \beta$. Now, from what I found online, $\hat\beta$ doesn't have a closed-form solution and is estimated by numerically solving $\partial \ell/\partial\beta = 0$ where $\ell(X\beta; \mathbf y)$ is the log-likelihood function (is this correct?).
Given that we don't even have a closed-form solution for this estimator, do we know the sampling distribution of $\hat\beta?$
How do we get asymptotic distribution for $\hat\beta$ (somewhere I think CLT will be used but how)?

Q: CSS for menu item added via functions.php I have added a current date item successfully to my menu via functions.php (Wordpress 4.7)  using:
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','add_todaysdate_in_menu', 10, 2);
function add_todaysdate_in_menu( $items, $args ) {
    if( $args->theme_location == 'header-menu')  {

        $todaysdate = date('l jS F Y');
        $items .=  '
' . $todaysdate .  '
';

    }
    return $items;
}

My problem is, that the styling is different to those item added in the wp-admin backend. I have tried a few things according to WP Menu Item CSS Classes, but still got problems with the classes. Help would be great. Thank you very much!

A: Normally, menu items are rendered as an
 tag with an  tag inside. You could simply wrap $todaysdate in an anchor so that this item will be styled like the others:
add_filter('wp_nav_menu_items','add_todaysdate_in_menu', 10, 2);
function add_todaysdate_in_menu( $items, $args ) {
    if( $args->theme_location == 'header-menu')  {

        $todaysdate = date('l jS F Y');
        $items .=  '
' . $todaysdate .  '
';

    }
    return $items;
}

To keep the item from showing a hand cursor when hovering, add this CSS:
.menu-item-date a:hover {
    cursor: default;
    /* Other styles for hovered date item */
}

Alternatively, you could leave out the  tag wrapper and create styles for .menu-item-date to make this item look like the others, but that might be more work.

8 Observations from Mobile World Congress 2015
by: Adam Fingerman | Mar 5, 2015
Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2015 wraps up today. Eric Shapiro and I have finished our official ArcTouch business and we're ready to catch a nap … and a flight back to San Francisco today.
Overall, it was a great week. Personally, this was my first trip to Barcelona and it was wonderful — great food, friendly people, and a fascinating city that succeeds at merging its rich history with modern amenities.
We had some productive meetings — the results of which you'll hear more about in the future. And our Atlanta Pulse app, developed in partnership with our friends at Razorfish, was a huge success according to our client, the Midtown Atlanta Chamber of Commerce.
The scene inside the convention center was … truly a scene. As Mark Sullivan of Venture Beat put it, it was "a blur of crowds and phones and bright lights and mild headaches. And a lot of phones." Here are some of the things we saw (or didn't) in the convention center and around town that stood out:
Smart Watch Competition Heats Up
We saw lots of new wearables and smart watches from both large manufacturers — like Samsung and Huawei, including this one from Huawei that we think is great — to the smallest of unknown companies. We also saw several Apple Watch imitations, pretty blatant knockoffs. Price points started from sub-$100 on up.
Virtually all of the watches offer users these five basic functions: notifications, email, SMS, calendar, and activity monitoring. These represent the 80% of the things we think you'll do on a regular basis with your smart watch. Which means Apple and Samsung may have to work especially hard to convince people to spend hundreds of dollars more to justify the other 20% of things.
Not the Uber You'd Expect
Uber isn't available in Barcelona. At least not the traditional ride-sharing service that we expect when we think of Uber. Because of the local taxi license regulation, Uber is instead using its platform to deliver food — and many, including Harvard Business Review, think this local experiment has the chance to be disruptive. We think it's great how Uber was able to make "limonada de los limones" and it's further evidence of Uber's grander ambitions to be more than just ride sharing. More to come on that in a future blog post. (Make sure to subscribe to our blog so you'll get periodic emails about our new posts).
Antoni Gaudi Observation #1 – Design Matters
We were blown away by the amazing creations of Antoni Gaudí, whose architectural designs blended art and nature into progressively modern structures. Gaudi was a pioneer in user experience, creating spaces that were more functional and comfortable to live and work in. Like this fireplace, which took a basic utility (heat source) and added a delightful and social experience with integrated seats, designed with natural curves that makes it more like the shapes you find in nature. He was living proof that design matters and can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.
Antoni Gaudi Observation #2 – La Sagrada Familia
La Sagrada Familia church was unlike anything we had ever seen before. Design and construction of this magnificent whimsical structure was started more than 100 years ago and continues today. The downside: This perpetual construction means cranes and scaffolding are forever part of the backdrop. A shame. Easy for us in software to say, but perhaps an agile approach to architecture and construction could help avoid this. Define an MVP, build it, then iterate.
IBM's Mobile Power Play
IBM has been steadily building a pretty powerful enterprise mobile development ecosystem, highlighted by its BlueMix platform for building and deploying mobile and web apps, and the new MobileFirst initiative (currently in beta) that promises easy integration with enterprise back-end data sources, along with some robust management tools. MobileFirst was a big focus at IBM's recent Interconnect 2015, and this week at Mobile World Congress, IBM held its own four-hour "conference" focused on MobileFirst. We expect IBM's efforts to become a real boon for enterprise developers and admins, and internally we've been experimenting with some of the new tools available (more on that soon!).
Clara — Unexpected and Delightful
A popular drink in Barcelona is cerveza mixed with lemon Fanta, which is called a Clara. It's a combination I never would have thought up, but it's delicious and proves that you can delight people by adding something unexpected (sparkling lemon flavor) into a core offering (beer). Sounds like another great analogy for successful app development. Take a core app or app MVP and add something unexpected or delightful to increase user satisfaction. We try to do this with every app we build.
Mobile Epicenter Without Apple
MWC was the epicenter of the mobile tech universe this week — but in typical Apple fashion, the world's largest company was not exhibiting. Apple certainly could have afforded a booth, and it's odd and unfortunate because the company is such an important piece of the mobile ecosystem. Meanwhile, Google and all of the Android manufacturers/partners were out in full force, along with the fuzzy cuteness of the "be together. not the same" ad campaign. No surprise, though, about Apple's lack of presence at third-party events — for better or for worse, it's part of what makes Apple different.
Is It a Case? Is It a Phone? Not Sure, But It's Cool
You might look at this and immediately think it's gadgety, but we were impressed by this hybrid device that serves as an iPhone protective case, extends your iPhone with a bluetooth connection, and can operate as a separate slim GSM phone if your batteries run dead (or if you need separate phones for business and personal use). The Wime T1 TalKase Mini Mobile Phone — which started as a Kickstarter project — comes in one tidy little package. So tidy that we picked one up and slipped it into our luggage to try it out when we get back to the U.S.
Adiós Barcelona. Nos Vemos el Próximo Año
Maybe it's my mobile app developer periscope, but everywhere I looked in Barcelona, there was something to be learned that we can apply to our craft. Design that blends usability and natural form factors. Construction projects with a long roadmap. The local drink that surprised and delighted me, like a good app that offers something unexpected. It's easy to see why Mobile World Congress has been hosted here since 2006. We're already looking forward to next year.

Hospital exposed to two needle stick injury claims
Thu , Apr , 2016 | News
Two Employees awarded €10,000 each against Waterford General Hospital
THE ERKAL CASE
Facts of the Erkal Case
Ms Erkal a cleaner, suffered a needle stick when removing a mop head.
She did not use the procedure in which she was trained, which was to use the tabs on the mop handle to remove the head.
The cleaner said she had been trained and to visually inspect and change the head of the mop before removing it.
Hospital staff stated that needle sticks were a problem in the hospital.
Judgement: –
Judge Barry Hickson stated the needle on the floor and was not disposed of correctly. He was satisfied that there was negligence on behalf of the hospital as someone had used the needle and dropped it on the floor. However, there was also a case of contributor negligence on behalf of the cleaner as she had not removed the head of the mop as she was trained to do.
Damages were assessed at €10,400 and reduced by 25% to €7,800, due to the cleaners' contributory negligence. (Erkal v HSE: Waterford Circuit Court, February 2016)
THE DURAND CASE
Ms Durand a cleaner, suffered a needle stick when cleaning the toilets.
When she attended the toilets for the second time that day there was tissue on the floor, when she went to pick it up she felt a needle stick in her hand.
There were no sharps bin in the toilet.
The cleaner said she was given sharps awareness training and was warned never to pick up a tissue from the floor with her hand and never to put her hand where she could not see.
She also stated that in hindsight she should have poked the tissue out from behind the pipe.
She said there was a near miss reporting system in place and she had reported seven near misses.
Delivering judgment, Judge Barry Hickson said one had to be sympathetic to the hospital, which would "need eyes in the back of its head" to deal with this type of thing. However the place was untidy and the cleaner was put at risk. The responsibility for organising the public toilet rested with the hospital. He awarded the injured cleaner €10,000.

WILLINGTON WALK
This is a most enjoyable walk, which first takes you along the Trent and Mersey Canal, busy with boats at the weekends and during the summer, before visiting the pretty village of Findern. The final stretch of the walk returns to the canal bank for a short stroll back to Willington Marina.
James Brindley from Derbyshire, who could not read or write, but had a brilliant brain, was the engineer responsible for the building of the Trent and Mersey Canal. He died before he could complete the final piece in his canal network that revolutionised trade in the country. Hugh Henshall, his brother-in-law, completed the work. A milestone marks every mile along the route to Preston Brook.
There are two areas of woodland along the canal bank, where paths have been laid to enable visitors to walk round and enjoy the wildlife. The walk also takes you past the site of Stanhope Wood Community Woodland, where the first tree was planted on 18 November 2003. The planting of the wood was completed by the Findern Footpaths Group, other villagers and the National Probation Service during that month.
The Findern Village Green forms the centrepiece of the village, on which an impressive looking village sign was erected to commemorate the Millennium, and more recently a village map has been added.
Length: 4.25 miles. Note: The bridge (Point 2 Below) is closed following an accident and no date has been given for its reopening. Walkers might like to extend their walk about a quarter of a mile further to Stenson Lock and then return along the canal bank to Willington, perhaps visiting Mercia Marina on their return.
Start/Finish: Car Park overlooking the canal, on the Twyford Road, between Willington Railway Station and the bridge.
Location: Off the A38, on the A5132 road to Swarkestone.
Terrain: A level walk, with more than half taken up along the banks of the Trent and Mersey Canal. After leaving the canal you walk along quiet paths and a lane to Findern, returning to the canal along good footpaths.
1. Turn right out of the car park along the bank of the Trent and Mersey Canal, and continue for about two miles, passing under the road bridge leading to Findern.
2. After going under a railway bridge, with an open field and a path on the opposite side, cross Canal Bridge Number 20 (the number is to be found on the eastern side of the bridge). Bridge closed following an accident.
3. Turn left immediately you are over the bridge, and walk back in the same direction along a clear path by the side of the canal.
4. After a short distance turn right by a wooden seat and walk away from the canal, along a path, past a conservation area.
5. Continue straight ahead, passing a Stanhope Wood Information Board, to ascend two short flights of steps, at the top of which you turn left, along a wide access track.
6. Soon you go right through a wide tunnel, under the A50 and then after a few yards, turn left at a 'T' junction of tracks.
7. Follow the track, the quality of the surface improving the nearer you get to Findern. After passing a cemetery on your left, continue ahead aiming to the left of the church.
8. Walk up the road in front of the churchyard, to reach Findern Village Green, where you turn left to join the Main Street.
9. Immediately after passing The Wheel Public House, turn left down Heath Lane, and continue along the pavement to cross the bridge over the A50.
10. Once over the bridge take the footpath on the left, which takes you past a recreation field, before bending further to the right to re-join Heath Lane.
11. Walk down the lane past a row of houses to reach the Nadee, Indian Restaurant; the site was previously occupied by the Greyhound Public House.
12. Do not cross the road bridge, but keep close to the restaurant and go over the canal bridge. Turn right along the canal bank, which you came along at the beginning of the walk; this will take you back to Willington.

WILLINGTON FEATURE
Situated midway between Derby and Burton, close to the A38 and new A50, it is hardly surprising that Willington is normally busy with traffic. It has been the hub of transport for many years.
Evidence has been found of habitation in the area long before the Transport Revolution. In 1970, traces of a settlement were found dating back to 2,000 BC, constructed by the Beaker People, who are named after their distinctive drinking vessels.

DETROIT (AP) - Electric car company Tesla Inc. is buying Perbix, a Minnesota-based maker of highly automated manufacturing equipment.
Perbix has been a supplier to Tesla for three years. It has built custom machinery for Tesla's Fremont, California, assembly plant as well as its battery plant in Nevada.
Perbix will continue to be based north of Minneapolis. It currently employs 150 people, but Tesla says it will recruit more.
Tesla didn't say how much the deal is worth. Company CEO Elon Musk has said he is determined to make Tesla's factories more efficient, and the machines Perbix makes are part of that effort.
Tesla has made multiple acquisitions in recent years to boost its manufacturing expertise. It bought a Michigan parts stamping plant in 2015 and a German engineering firm in 2016.

Carpiniello: Rangers still haven't found recipe for road success under Quinn
By Rick Carpiniello Nov 30, 2018 84
We've spoken and heard and written and read so much about how these rebuilding Rangers play hard for their new, demanding, honest coach, David Quinn.
That's a storyline which has been mostly true, especially compared to the Rangers of the most recent seasons. But Thursday night was a really big slice of alternate truth. These Rangers have addressed, stamped and mailed-in a handful of games this season, too. And that's not a knock on Quinn, who has been so impressive with this roster and has had his troops competing and winning at a rate higher than most people imagined they would.
One area where Alain Vigneault's Rangers, even when they stunk, were better than David Quinn's Rangers, is on the road. To date, this year's team's away wins are just three shootouts, two where they blew very late third-period leads then won in the skills competition gimmick that follows tied hockey games. That's it for these Rangers. None in...

'If not 'Gangster', I would have done adult film'
Nasim : risingbd.com
Publish on: 2017-01-02 4:17:58 PM || Updated: 2017-01-12 1:25:33 PM
Entertainment Desk: National Award-winning actress Kangana Ranaut, who made her debut in Bollywood with 2006 romantic crime drama film "Gangster", says if she had not got this offer, she would have started her career with a very shady film.
While talking about the turning points in her career, Kangana said on TV show "Vh1 Inside Access": "I think the first ever would be the break that I got from my film 'Gangster'... Because I remember getting a very shady offer, I think it was not a right movie. But I was like, 'Okay, fine, I'll do it."
She added: "And then I did a photo shoot and then they gave me robe and there was nothing inside the robe. And it looked like some blue film or something and I was like, 'This doesn't look right'. Because it's obviously not the right film."
Kangana said: "No, but then I got 'Gangster' and I'm like 'I'll do that film.' And then my producer got furious and I was in trouble for some time because I abandoned that project. And I was very young, I was 17 or 18. And if I would have not gotten 'Gangster', I am sure I would have done that film. But I think the thing about me was that I always said yes to every offer!"
The episode with Kangana will air on Vh1 on Sunday.
Kangana has won National Awards for her roles in films like "Fashion", "Queen" and "Tanu Weds Manu Returns".
Her next projects are "Rangoon", "Rani Lakshmi Bai" and "Simran".

Writing Dyscalculia
Posted October 16, 2014 by dove-author in Essays, Personal, Writing / 0 Comments
I don't know how old I was when I learned that my dad has dyslexia. It's one of those things I've always kind of known. I've also always kind of known that he never got the support he needed to excel at school. For me it's maths. Like my dad's situation with dyslexia, when I was in primary and secondary school dyscalculia wasn't a thing people paid attention to. My mum remains firmly convinced that I woke up one day, said "I don't like maths" and decided to suck at it for the rest of my life. Because that's a thing people with invisible disabilities do, you know, they decide that they have a problem. Please note the heavy use of sarcasm in that sentence because we do not, in fact, decide to have a problem and then it magically appears and if only we just decide not to have a problem then it will go away like it's never been.
Do you know how embarrassing it is to have to ask people what, I don't know, 5+8 is when you're an adult? It is really, really, really embarrassing and uncomfortable. Generally, when I'm in that kind of a situation, I end up giggling, red as a tomato, and determinedly not looking at anyone. That does not mean that I'm playing people for a fool. It means that I'd really really really like to melt into the nearest surface before someone call tell me that I'm stupid in any possible variation. Since there's usually some variant of "How can you not know that?! That's so easy!" (It's worsened by the fact that if you let me work it out slowly, and preferably with a piece of paper, I can do the sum. I just can't do it at the drop of a hat the way everyone else can. I'm slow because it's something I find hard.
I passed maths in secondary school. Goodness knows how, but I did. I'm not stupid. I do know how to count and do sums. It just takes me longer, in part because I always do the sums at least twice to make sure I didn't mess anything up.
For me, that's where things are the most recognisable, but dyscalculia is actually broader than 'dyslexia with numbers'. "Turn left after 200 metres" is a great instruction if you a) know which way is left, b) how far along 200 metres is. Is that, like, the first turn I see or the second? No, maybe it's the third! Wait, should I have gone to the other side? I have no idea. When I'm going places with friends or family the following is not an uncommon occurrence: "Go left. NO, THE OTHER LEFT" with an occasionally vocalised and nearly always implied "YOU IDIOT" at the end. (My friends and family love me and mostly know me, but I did kind of just almost knocked them onto the middle of the road or onto the pavement and put their safety at risk.) I was a twelve-year-old kid who still couldn't read an analogue clock accurately. (I still can't. Not easily.) I'm the kind of person who can read sheet music and have no idea how it's supposed to sound and who can never get the rhythm of something down properly. To my knowledge, I've never seen anyone with dyscalculia in fiction outside of pieces I've written myself. That doesn't surprise me. That's exactly why people are having discussions on disability in fiction, after all. Because the representation is either bad or not there at all.
Hazel, from my flash fiction vignette Sharing Chocolate, discovers that the reason she keeps failing maths is because she has dyscalculia. It is, in some ways, one of the most autobiographical pieces I've written. I've been Hazel, and I've been Beth for kids with dyslexia. I've seen Hazel in my students. Hazel's situation is complicated by the fact that dyscalculia isn't the only factor at play in her low grades. She's also a kid who's spent a lot of time failing despite her best efforts so her issues with sums in general are worsened by that. There is an element of "I think I can't therefore I will fail" at work purely because all her experiences have told her so. That doesn't mean her disability doesn't exist, though. Part of what's autobiographical about Hazel is the feeling when she has a name for what is going on with her. That sense that whatever is going on with her ability to do schoolwork sums is real and not imaginary. Words have power. Naming something has power. Hazel is the first dyscalculic character I have ever seen in published fiction. I couldn't not make that vignette about the power of names when dyscalculia was so unknown when I was growing up and still, as near as I can tell, pretty unknown in general. I've seen schools offer students who have dyscalculia more time to make any exams or tests, but that's it.
I didn't get any help. (I'm not bitter and I'm grateful to the maths teachers who did their best to help me. I learned. I passed. I can manage.) But the way I tackled maths class? The only way I knew how to make sense of it left me feeling like a liar, a fraud and a cheat. But it was the only way I knew how, so I took it and I did my best. Hazel's joy at having a name, at having a chance to finally find the means to deal with her issues and make them better, at existing… That moment is such an incredibly powerful moment. How could I not write about that feeling? How could I not write about those problems which are, by far, the most well-known and discussed of dyscalculia?
At the moment, I have one another character with dyscalculia, though there it isn't named. That character is Eiryn, the protagonist from A Promise Broken. I didn't make a conscious choice. It's just that one day, long before I'd even heard of the term, I wrote a scene with a little four-year-old girl struggling with numbers because they make no sense whatsoever.
Eiryn actually struggles far more than I do and, from what I've been able to tell, more than a lot of other people as well. It's also contrasted with her apparent ability to read musical notation. I say apparent because though it's present only subtly, the text of A Promise Broken shows us a girl who learns music predominantly by ear. Eiryn does have a book to make notes in and she does use it, but most of what she knows she's gathered by ear. It's a scene I've marked up for more polishing to try and make her issues with it more obvious to the reader.
Sometimes, that leaves me worried about how people will react to the way her dyscalculia has (and hasn't) shown up in the story. Will people think that I've focused too much on Eiryn's issues with numbers in general? (Have I?) Will people decry my assertion that Eiryn has dyscalculia because she's a good musician? Will people feel like I should have taken it out as irrelevant? That I should have made it a stronger focus and drawn more in-story attention to it?
Maybe some will. Undoubtedly some will. But I think, at any age, I would read Eiryn's dyscalculia and say "Yes, this. So much this". I doubt child!me would have cared about anything more than seeing something she struggled with acknowledged in a story, treated as something real. As something she could take to people and say "THIS IS ME". I think child!me would have appreciated the fact that the people who care about Eiryn try to help her without telling her that she's stupid for struggling, or deliberately making stuff up. I think child!me would have appreciated that the story incorporated something she could try to learn with.
A Promise Broken isn't about Eiryn's struggles with dyscalculia, though. It's just there. When I started rewriting the story one last time for the serial, I was afraid that I'd have to cut the scene where Orryn and Eiryn discuss numbers because it was too irrelevant to the plot. I've managed to keep it because it's relevant to the progression of time and Eiryn's personality. Ultimately, it's a scene that shows us a glimpse of what dyscalculia is — the most well-known glimpse, admittedly — and how it may affect a person. It's just there, affecting Eiryn's life because it's there.
I hope people will be inspired to learn more about dyscalculia and other (invisible) disabilities because they've read about Eiryn. I hope it inspires people to add to the diversity in our books and other media forms. Most of all, I hope it will touch some readers the way it would have touched me, had I had a character like Eiryn available to me when I was a child.

Jason Aldean has released his latest album Rearview Town today, and we're more excited than ever to have him headlining Country Fest 2018's closing day on June 23. His eighth album reflects both his personal life's and professional life's journey over the past few years.
"To me, it was more of a metaphor for leaving things behind that were weighing you down, or that you felt like were a weight on your shoulders – looking forward to better things to come," Jason said during a round of interviews at Music Row production studio.
Jason Aldean has released his eighth studio album, Rearview Town, today. Jason will be Headlining Country Fest 2018 on Saturday, June 23.
Rearview Town follows the same approach used on albums past of country rock and power balladry that we heard in "Hicktown" and "Why." It also includes a bit of the art of rap as he's used in "Dirt Road Anthem." This new record also includes various aspects of the smaller-town lifestyle, connecting him to his down-to-earth, hard-working fan base.
But Jason's relationship with his older material has changed, and he has come to the understanding that he "hadn't lived enough to know what the hell [he] was singing about," he told Entertainment Weekly last month.
"As an artist, you get older and start being drawn to songs that are more age-appropriate, songs that you can relate to more. I just turned 41, so I still feel like I got a long way to go before I'm an old man," he said.
Jason Aldean's latest album Rearview Town is released Friday, April 13. Jason will be headlining Country Fest 2018 on Saturday, June 23.

by Conselho da Diáspora
It's more than a world network of influential Portuguese people in the fields of economy, sciences, culture and citizenship. The Portuguese Diaspora Council is recognized has a relevant instrument for the country. Interview of the President of the Board to the Executive Digest.
Five million Portuguese people and descendants are spread around the world. This means 50% of the Portuguese citizens, a disproportional number when relating with the world average, of about 3%. Everything started with the Council of Globalization, in 2006. At that time, it was usual to invite big multinationals CEOs around the world, namely IBM, Toyota, City Bank, to come to Portugal to discuss current issues, secretively. «We were about 25 entrepreneurs, from many geographies, since Europeans, Asians, North-Americans and South-Americans, invited by the President of the Republic of Portugal, Cavaco Silva, but also to be for a day with Durão Barroso, former president of European Commission, to lobby», tells Filipe de Botton, president of the Board of the Portuguese Diaspora Council, referring to the beginnings of the Council of Globalization, that suffered evolutions.
In 2012, it was felt that the concept could be creating "antibodies", once it was only composed by foreigners. It was decided «to invite only CEOs from countries of Portuguese speaking of non-Portuguese companies. It went well and we created the Portuguese Diaspora Council, mainly with people from Economy, Arts, Sciences and Citizenship».
TO REINFORCE PORTUGAL'S REPUTATION
In contrast with other Diasporas created inside the Governments, this idea comes from the civil society, more concretely from Filipe de Botton – a renown Portuguese entrepreneur. Chairman of Logoplaste, (the 3rd major European company that converts rigid plastic), also founding partner of Norfin, Invesfin and Logowines, being also involved in the hotels and resorts sector and partner of the Santini ice creams. «At that time I had the idea and I had the support of the President of the Republic, Cavaco Silva», explains, assuring that the original mission is the same: to help the country.
Thus, it was formally constituted on December 26, 2012 with the high Patronage of the President of the Republic of Portugal – also Honorary President of CDP – as well as with the Minister of State and Foreign Affairs – honorary vice-president of CDP, in functions, today Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa and Augusto Santos Silva.
The main intervention element of the Portuguese Diaspora Council are its 91 counselors, spreaded in 28 countries, 47 cities, in the five continents. «An asset with a priceless value. The Council started with a mapping of influence Portuguese people living outside of Portugal and it is a work the keeps going on. These Portuguese people make the difference and have high recognition on their host communities. Among the 96 invitations that I have made, nobody refused to support Portugal.»
From the 96 members invited initially, more than three quit, because they retired or returned to Portugal. «There have been a healthy renewal», added Filipe de Botton. «This is without any doubt, the influence diaspora. Everyone, the ones working abroad, are important, but we are not talking about the Saudade Diaspora or the shipping Diaspora, that really helped Portugal. This is about the people that can reinforce Portugal's image, whether it is through finding partners to the development of new ways of being, or bringing different ideas and people to Portugal, disclosing artists, reorganizing the Portuguese network outside of Portugal.
