Oxford Dictionary: Word of the year 2017 – Youthquake (Tuổi trẻ động)
15.12.2017 ~ Trần Đình Hoành
Oxford Dictionary
Word of the Year 2017 is…
As 2017 draws to a close, we turn to language to help us mark where we have been, how far we have come, and where we are heading.
One word has been judged as not only reflective of the ethos, mood, or preoccupations of this past year, but as having lasting potential as a word of cultural significance.
The Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year 2017 is… youthquake.
The noun, youthquake, is defined as 'a significant cultural, political, or social change arising from the actions or influence of young people'.
TĐH: Youthquake = Tuổi trẻ động

Why was 'youthquake' chosen?
The data collated by our editors shows a fivefold increase in usage of youthquake in 2017 compared to 2016, the word having first struck in a big way in June with the UK's general election at its epicentre.
On 18 April, Prime Minister Theresa May, leader of the Conservatives, called a snap election triggering seven weeks of intense political campaigning. After the British public went to the polls on 8 June, headlines emerged of an unexpected insurgence of young voters.
'Youthquake' behind Labour election surge divides generations https://t.co/6OJ3opygHX
— The Guardian (@guardian) June 20, 2017
So despite higher engagement figures among the baby boomer generation and despite Labour ultimately ending up with fewer seats than the Conservatives in the House of Commons, many commentators declared that 'It was the young wot "won" it for Jeremy Corbyn', and dubbed their collective actions a 'youthquake'.
It was in September that the second, and largest, spike in usage of youthquake was recorded for the year – and a youthquake wasn't even required to deliver this data.
Thanks to the precedent established in the UK, in New Zealand use of youthquake to discuss young people's engagement in politics was rapidly picked up by politicians and the press alike during the country's general election. The word enjoyed increased and sustained usage both prior to and after the polling, setting youthquake firmly on its way to become a fixture of political discourse.

When was 'youthquake' coined?
In 1965, emerging from a post-war period of tumultuous change, Diana Vreeland, editor-in-chief of Vogue, declared the year of the youthquake.
In an editorial in the Vogue US January edition that year, she wrote: 'The year's in its youth, the youth in its year. … More dreamers. More doers. Here. Now. Youthquake 1965.'
Vreeland coined youthquake – based on the pattern of 'earthquake' – to describe the youth-led fashion and music movement of the swinging sixties, which saw baby boomers reject the traditional values of their parents.
As in 2017, the UK was at the heart of the youthquake, with 'the London Look' of boutique street-style individualism taking the high fashion houses of Paris, Milan, and New York by storm to inform a new mass-produced, ready-to-wear fashion directive worldwide.
A word we can all rally behind
Sometimes a Word of the Year is selected in recognition of its arrival, but other times it is a word that has been knocking at the proverbial door and waiting to be ushered in.
Our choice of language illuminates our preoccupations, and as this tumultuous year draws to a close, our President of Dictionaries Casper Grathwohl believes that it is time for a word we can root for and collectively empower as Word of the Year – a word we can all rally behind.
In this blog post, he offers a behind-the-scenes look at the selection process for youthquake as Oxford Dictionaries' Word of the Year 2017, plus his take on a word 'imbued with hope' for the future: Youthquake: behind-the-scenes on selecting the Word of the Year.
Out of the plethora of words suggested and discussed, only nine made it to the final shortlist, before youthquake was crowned Word of the Year 2017. Here are the final eight:

Japan picks 'North' as 2017 symbol amid N Korea threat
12 Dec 2017 Al Jazeera
Seihan Mori wrote the Chinese character for "North" on a large panel in Kyoto [AFP]
Japan has chosen the Chinese character for "North" as its traditional defining symbol of 2017 after a series of launches of North Korean missiles, several of which plunged into the Pacific Ocean near Japan's territorial waters.
Japanese TV stations on Tuesday broadcast the annual announcement, in which Seihan Mori, master of the ancient Kiyomizu temple in Kyoto, wrote the Kanji character on a white panel using a calligraphy brush.
Kanji are the adopted Chinese characters that are used in the Japanese writing system, along with other types of alphabets.
The choice of "North" as this year's defining symbol reflects unease over North Korea's nuclear weapons programme, the Japan Kanji Aptitude Testing Foundation, the event organiser, said in a statement.
"It was the year in which people felt threatened and anxious by North Korea following repeated ballistic missile launches and a nuclear test," the statement said.

— Japan Today News (@JapanToday) December 12, 2017
At the end of every year, the general public votes for a Chinese character they think embodies the key news and events of the previous 12 months.
A total of 7,104 people out of 153,594 voted for the character "North".
A 38-year-old woman from northern Fukushima prefecture who voted for the character said she was "constantly scared of North Korean missiles".
"Our generation never experienced war … What if a missile actually falls on Japan? It is horrifying," she said, according to the organiser.
Last year, Japan picked "gold" to celebrate the success of Japanese athletes winning gold medals at the Rio Olympics.

Saracens move closer to getting synthetic pitch
By cmr January 26, 2012
Aviva Premiership side Saracens are on track to become the first professional rugby club to play on a synthetic pitch.
The clubs proposal to renovate the Barnet Copthall Stadium has been recommended for approval by the planning officers of the London Borough of Barnet. The proposal will now go before the Planning Committee for approval.
If approved, the Saracens will be the first professional rugby squad to play their home games on a fully synthetic pitch. Saracens say the pitch has been approved by both the RFU and the IRB.
It's an interesting development and one I'm sure stimulates mixed opinion! What are your thoughts?
Read on to see the full statement from Saracens…
Statement on Copthall plans
25 Jan 2012 – 10:55
Statement by Saracens in response to report by LBB officers recommending approval for plans to revive Barnet Copthall Stadium.
Nigel Wray, chairman of Saracens, said: "The recommendation to approve our planning application by council officers is a very positive step forward and we sincerely hope that councillors at Barnet will also be able to support the plans.
"The recommendation is the result of a thorough analysis of all aspects of the plans and a lot of hard work to develop the best possible scheme. Issues have been raised throughout the process, such as Green Belt policy and transportation. We have responded positively by amending our plans, providing further information and introducing robust safeguards.
"We are not a normal developer. We plan to make Copthall our home. We are therefore committed to working closely with the local community and becoming a part of it. We want and need local support and we will work hard for it. We absolutely promise that. We will treat local residents with respect and make a positive difference in the area.
"We are delighted with the amount of support that we have received from throughout the local community. This has come from residents, local sports clubs, community groups and schools, all of whom will benefit from the new and improved facilities at Copthall and greater accessibility to them. We absolutely promise that we will make Copthall a community asset that we can all be proud of."
The revived Barnet Copthall stadium would become home to Saracens who would play up to 16 matches per year on a new synthetic pitch. At all other times (349 days) the facilities would be available to the local community – it will be free of charge to local schools and, of course, it will be a home to Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers and other athletics clubs, who would benefit from new indoor athletics facilities. The award-winning Saracens Foundation would be based at Copthall encouraging local participation in sport and running a wide range of outreach programmes for all sectors of the community.

For many of us who work in slippery areas, it becomes utmost necessary to have a pair of slip-resistant shoes. You surely don't want to get injured or hurt at your workplace as you go there to earn money.
Many of us who work in unconventional jobs such as at hotels, on construction sites, etc are more prone to slippery surfaces than others. Safety becomes paramount for us in those situations because any casualty can cause serious damage to the body.
Non-slip work shoes are very important for each one of us who has to deal with slippery surfaces. The most important thing required on a slippery surface is good traction from the footwear that you are using.
Traction basically refers to the grip that holds you firm on a slippery surface.
Always be aware of one thing.
If you are working on a slippery surface you need to have shoes that can give you excellent traction. One of my guy who earlier used to work at my house now works at a restaurant.
We both hold a good connection as friends and keep contacting each other frequently.
I recently came to know that he suffered a major fracture in the arm at the hotel he is working. He was coming from the kitchen and got slipped at the reception counter.
Not only he suffered major arm injury but had to struggle a lot to recover himself again. Now he is fine and has again started working over there.
This time I recommended him two of the finest pieces of footwear to use while he went to work at the restaurant.
one of the best non-slip shoes forms the house of Skechers.
Skechers is always known to have produced fine quality footwear in any category. Similarly in the slip-resistant category also, Skechers has come up with this fine piece of footwear.
Material/Build quality: They are built up of synthetic material and features a synthetic sole. The fit expectancy is 87 percent and they are available in a plethora of sizes.
Look and Feel: The looks are simple yet appealing. Casual footwear which is perfect for everyday use.
Shaft and heel: The height of the heel is 1.25 inches and they reach up to the foot height only. The height of the platform is just 1 inch.
Supportive shoes: Thee shoes are supportive shoes and provide excellent support to the feet. They feature a lace up vamp and reinforced the stitching.
Memory foam padded insole: They have padded tongue and collar while the insole is padded with a memory foam.
Shock absorbing midsole: The midsole is shock absorbent and can provide adequate protection in unwanted situations. The outsole is OSHA-complaint and is a nitrile outsole. The shoes also feature a soft fabric shoe lining which further enhances the overall user experience.
Lightweight shoes that weigh just around 3 pounds.
One of the best shoes under 100 dollars. Affordable and budget friendly.
They are slip and oil resistant.
It is not a safety shoe. It does not have a metal toe or sole.
The flagship product from the house of Fila in the non-slip shoe category.
Fila is the most popular brand that has always stayed in the top position in the footwear industry. With the advent of this footwear, Fila is trying to gain the edge in competition. Let's see what they have got.
Material/Build quality: The shoe is made up of leather and features a rubber sole. They are imported and have a fit expectancy of 72 percent. The sizes available range from 6.5 to 16 on the US shoe size scale.
Look and Feel: They look appealing and eye catchy. Available in a plethora of colors they are definitely an eye catcher and centerpiece of attraction. Extremely comfortable to use.
Excellent performance: These shoes have a durable leather and synthetic construction to meet everyday needs.
Excellent traction: These shoes provide one of the best traction on slippery surfaces as the solid rubber outsole provide excellent grip. Prevents you from slipping in any slippery conditions and completely industry standard tested.
Perfect for wearing the entire day and provides excellent comfort. The midsole and sock liner is made up of memory foam and hence provides all-day comfort.
Provides a relaxed styling as the presence of perforations allows a sufficient amount of air breathability while the lace-up front closure provides a relaxed fit and comfortable user experience.
There might be sizing issues in some cases.
Skechers for Work Men's Felton Slip Resistant Relaxed-Fit Work Shoe is a lightweight shoe that will definitely ease up your life. It's time to give a shot to these pair of wonderful footwear as it is a perfect blend of comfort and durability.
On the other hand, Fila Men's Memory Workshift Slip Resistant Work Shoe is another pair of best shoes to wear all day long. Both these pair of footwear will definitely ease up your work life if you work in a slippery area.
Provide excellent traction to keep you safe and balanced.
Remember that working in a slippery area is a very challenging job. Not only have you had to be cautious all the time but need to be extra careful.
Any slight carelessness can cause serious damage to your body just like the above guy. You don't want to spend half of your time in the doctor's clinic getting plaster and medicines.
Safety becomes paramount while working in wet and slippery areas. These two pairs of footwear clearly take care of all that and keep you safe while you work in slippery and wet areas.
They are a perfect blend of protection and comfort in a single package. An investment in a perfect piece of footwear goes a long way. These two pairs of shoes are a wonderful piece of beauty for anyone who has to deal with the hardship of working on a slippery surface.

Must visit museums in the city of Ulaanbaatar
"WHAT IS IT ABOUT MONGOLIA THAT IS PULLING VISITORS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE? IS IT ONLY BEAUTIFUL NATURE?"
Must visit museums in the…
For those who are visiting Ulaanbaatar, we are providing a concise introduction of "Museums in Ulaanbaatar" or knows as UB in short. You can choose the museum that you would like to explore during your tours with us whilst you are in UB.
FOR YOUR CURIOSITY.
Historic, cultural, ethnic, scientific, and natural valuables of this country being reserved for centuries make the museums here attention-catching and worth-visiting. Permanent and temporary exhibitions in the frames of Ancient Mongolian Lands, Ancient nations, the mesmerising art of Mongolian traditional clothing & accessories, the Great Mongolian Empire which reigned the world in the XIII century, Traditional culture, Mongolian traditional lifestyle, Arts & Music, Mongolia during the Socialist-Communist decades, the Democratic Revolution in 1990, Contemporary Art and yes, the list goes on. These museums will most definitely prove you why Mongolia is, in fact, a must-visit exotic destination with a prolific history and extraordinary cultural customs, lifestyle, and so on, and so forth.
WHICH MUSEUMS TO VISIT?
The top museums in the modern-day Ulaanbaatar for your convenience is introduced below: The most popular museums consistently conducting collective and exhibitive works are: National History Museum of Mongolia, Choijin Lama Temple Museum, Mongolian Statehood History Museum, Ulaanbaatar City Museum, Bogd Khaan Winter Palace Museum of Mongolia, G.K Jukov House Museum, Manzushir Museum, Memorial Museum of the Victims of Political Repression, Wildlife Museum, International Intellectual Museum, The Central Museum of Mongolian Dinosaurs, Steam Locomotive Museum, Mongolian Military Museum, Mongol Costumes Museum, Zanabazar Museum of Fine Arts and so forth.
IN CASE YOU WANT EXAMPLES.
Let's take the Memorial Museum of the Victims of Political Repression as an example. This Museum, for instance, differs from others with its cruelly honest artefacts from the darkest times in contemporary Mongolian history – the political prosecution of Mongolia's elites and talented writers, politicians, artists, scientists, which was conducted during the 1930's under Stalin's communists. One could say the interior is quiet depressing and murky judging from the haunting atmosphere. The most poignant exhibit is hands-down the skulls of political prisoners with bullet holes through them. This museum was once the residence of a former Prime Minister Genden.P, who was shot in Moscow by the KGB in 1937 due to his resistance against Stalinist prosecution. Therefore, now the museum also exhibits Genden's room with his desk and personal belongings. This is not a place to visit for an uplifting experience, but for an education of the recent callous past.
Oh, this country. Quirky in the most phenomenal, fascinating and alluring ways! Merely taking a glimpse at one of its historical palaces will easily lure you in on a mission to explore this place. And what do you think will help you complete the mission? Indeed, the museums. Well? Who has already started packing for a trip to the land of Mongols?

This project will provide safe drinking water and hygiene education to the 505 residents of the community of Boqueron K'asa, located in the valleys of central Bolivia.
Water For People--Bolivia has been working in the Tiraque municipality since 2000 and enjoys a close working relationship with the local government office, the local NGO partner, Lemag, and the communities. The municipality of Tiraque constructed two storage tanks last year and this project will finalize the drinking water system for the community.
101 families will receive safe drinking water through this initiative and 1 public tap will be built.
Spring capture with two storage tanks, 17 km of pipe, and 101 household taps.
The first stage of the project, the protection of the springs and the tank construction, has already occured. This second phase will lay the pipes and build the taps.
The community had been requesting a water system from the municipality of Tiraque for several years. In 2006, the municipality included the cost of a spring protection and two storage tanks in its operational plan. This has been completed, however, the community still needs the pipeline and household taps. The people of Boqueron K'asa have been very involved in this project they began expressing demand a few years ago, and remain heavily involved in the non-qualified labor.
Training in hygiene education with an emphasis on hand-washing, operations and maintenance, and financial management will also occur with this project.
There will be a lot of emphasis on financial management training and sanitation-generation, with the idea that money from the water tariff will not only cover the cost of cleaning supplies, spares, and a plumber's salary, but that the community will be able to save money for a sanitation project.
The maintenance costs include a plumber's monthly salary ($40) and a reserve for spare parts. A tariff will be assessed with the full partipation of the community to cover spare parts, cleaning materials, and the salary of the plumber.
The municipality of Tiraque ($9144), the community ($3837), and Water For People ($3375).
Community cost contributions vary a bit per family, but tend to be around $20 per family for a total of $2020. The remaining amount ($1817) is in-kind.
What about the conventional wisdom that it is better to build the latrines first and do the water project only after every family has a sanitary facility?
is there no sanitation component to this project because it is hard to get funding for latrines?
Sanitation is Bolivia is a huge challenge....it is one of the few Latin American countries not on track to meet its sanitation MDGs. A range of social, cultural, and economic reasons place sanitation much lower on community's demands than water systems. WFP-Bolivia often uses water projects as a gateway to talking about hygiene benefits of latrines and as a latrine demand-generating strategy. The cross-subsidization is a pilot-we don't know if it will work, but we're trying to get creative as current approaches to sanitation in Bolivia are not producing results. This community is beginning to express interest in sanitation options, which is great!
i see that the project has 17 km of pipes; thats a lot. are they covered or underground? about what diameter? what material are you using? how long does it last?
i see that the project has 17 km of pipes; thats a lot.
are they covered or underground? about what diameter?
what material are you using? how long does it last?
You're right-17 km is a lot of pipes! A lot of the areas where we work in Bolivia are very dispersed communities, so when projects are done in these areas, a lot of piping is involved to get the water from a spring (s) to the storage tank(s) to the main distribution network to household connections. Most of the piping is laid underground-there are Bolivian construction specifications for how deep depending on the type of ground above (e.g. if it is a road with traffic, the pipes are buried deeper than through a field). There are a few above-ground pipes where ravines must be crossed. Most of the pipes are PVC, which suppsedly has a lifespan of approximately 50 years, but it really depends on quality of construction and management. I have seen poorly buried PVC pipes in Honduras that have broken after two years. I have also seen projects in Bolivia that are 10 years old and the pipes are functioning perfectly fine. Diameters of pipe differ throughout the system-from wider pipes at the intake to narrower pipes at the household connections.
Most folks are moving away from PVC because it does not live up to its reputation and its extremely hazardous to make and dispose of. Our Vietnamese partner avoids PVC because it just does not last for 2 years in their projects.
We are trying to steer towards HDPE pipes which are more benign and 100% recyclable. Just a tip for the future, need the price to come down.
Basing my rating on the history WfP has in the community. Am concerned about the pipe and whether the mtce fee will allow for replacements in a few years.


As a PhD student, you will be assigned at least two supervisors who are responsible for guiding your studies.
PhD studies are conducted under the guidance of a main supervisor ("huvudhandledare"), together with any primary supervisor ("primärhandledare") and one or more co-supervisors. The supervisors form an advisory committee ("handledargrupp") and meet regularly. Advisory committee meetings are aimed at reviewing the PhD student's completed work and planning future work. All meetings are documented by updating the individual study plan.
If no primary supervisor is appointed, the main supervisor may assume the role of a primary supervisor.
For more information on responsibilities of supervisors and the practicalities of supervision see Guidelines for supervision (under "Further resources").
University of Skövde offers training courses for supervisiors. Click here to find out more.

A group in constant evolution because change begins within.
CONSIDI, which today has more than forty skilled employees, is synonymous with TPS (Toyota Production System) because it was among the first to understand the importance of a "lean" organisational thought supporting entrepreneurs and managers in the effective and efficient organisation of companies.
Far-sightedness and an innovative approach has always set the spirit and collaborative strength of our team apart.
We have long maintained that the market is constantly changing as has the traditional TPS (Toyota Production System) which has evolved into the Toyota Profit System, an all-round business management system.
The principles of Lean Thinking can, therefore, be applied to all business functions.
In recent years, CONSIDI has positioned its services with excellence and undisputed records.
In the stage when companies were pursuing lean success in the 1990s, CONSIDI had decided to take a more demanding and complex approach offering a consultancy service that was tailor-made, rather than providing ready-made solutions, by sharing the intuition of the entrepreneur and adhering to the original principles of JAPANESE thinking, champion of the TPS method. A less obvious, more complex path which led CONSIDI to become over time the point of reference for the Veneto Region, the North East and then in Italy of TPS, Toyota Production/Profit System.

I took chewable papaya enzyme. They taste delicious and they help with the heartburn. I was told by my midwife about them because you're not supposed to take antacids during pregnancy. Also, she told me you can take more than as directed on the bottle they are totally safe, just fruit enzyme.
I used to take two after practically every meal, sometimes up to four if it was really bothering me. They don't work exactly like antacids, but they do help.
You can buy them at a vitamin store, they are not expensive.
Heartburn and heartburn with more heartburn!

PH, top U.S. officials hold talks on security, rule of law
Sofia Tomacruz
The 8th Philippines-US Bilateral Strategic Dialogue is the first one to be held in Manila since the start of the Duterte administration
MANILA, Philippines – As the Philippine government reviews its ties with the United States following tirades from President Rodrigo Duterte, top officials from the US State Department arrived in Manila for high-level talks with Philippine officials.
They discussed issues pertaining to defense, economics, rule of law, and regional diplomacy on Monday, July 15.
The talks are part of the 8th Philippines-US Bilateral Strategic Dialogue (BSD) between Washington and Manila, scheduled to take place from Monday to Tuesday, July 16.
Annual dialogue: According to the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), the 8th BSD will focus on counter-terrorism, defense and security, economics, law enforcement, and criminal justice.
The BSDs take place yearly and are done to tackle the "full range" of political, security, and economic cooperation between the two countries.
The 8th BSD is the first one to be held in Manila since the start of the Duterte administration and comes against the backdrop of the Philippines' warming ties with China. The last time a BSD was held in Manila was in January 2015, under the administration of former president Benigno Aquino III.
The talks come after Philippine Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana earlier called for a review of the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty (MDT) between the long-allied countries. At the time, Lorenzana said he saw it fit to review the MDT because of its "vagueness."
Lorenzana earlier said the fast-evolving security environment was "so vastly different and much more complex than the bipolar security construct of the era when the MDT was written." Thus, a review of the treaty was needed, he said, "to make it stronger." (READ: Despite new friends, Philippines sticks it out with U.S. in 2018)
On Monday, Lorenzana met with US Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Kim, US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs David Stillwell, and Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs Randall Schriver. Kim tweeted that the meeting sought "to explore ways to deepen our military partnership."
The 8th BSD also takes places weeks after a Chinese vessel rammed and abandoned a Filipino fishing boat on June 9 near Recto Bank, drawing attention to, and heating up, the dispute once more. The US hit the intimidation at sea after the Philippine boat sinking.
Who else is attending? On the Philippine side, Foreign Affairs Undersecretary for policy Enrique Manalo and Defense Undersecretary for operations Cesar Yano are among those co-chairing the talks.
For the US, Kim, Stillwell, and Schriver were joined by US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for South and Southeast Asia Joseph Felter, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Economic and Business Affairs Hugo Yon, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Jorgan Andrews, and Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Southeast Asia Mark Clark.
Prior to this year's BSD, the last discussion between the Philippines and the US was held from November 30 to December 1, 2017 in Washington DC. – Rappler.com

Finally, we speak with Dr. Joanne Cantor, a former professor of Communication Arts, about the neurological reasons why scary movie memories stay with us forever.
In the late 50s - early 60s movies played as double bills. The second was always a "B" movie. On Saturdays, my brother sometimes took his two younger sisters with him to the movies and he usually chose what we saw. I have no clue what the main feature was but I had nightmares for years about the second one called "Key Witness". In it, some horrible, young, slick-backed hair bad guys were going to kill the father of a nice suburban family.
In a shot that preceded the Mrs. Robinson's leg shot from The Graduate" by many years, "Key Witness" featured this bad punk, seen through the bent leg of a woman as she shaved it. That guy's face haunted me for years. So imagine my nausea and terror when I saw the very disburbing "Blue Velvet" and there he was again. It was Dennis Hopper. I didn't recognize him when he appeared in "Easy Rider."
Even now, bopping around the art scene, declaring himself a Republican for Obama, I still find him scary.

A really old woman has been nabbed for her act of impropriety after she returned with a gun to ask for her change when she was short-changed by a bank cashier.
An 86-year-old woman has been arrested by the police in Philadelphia, U.S., for an attempted robbery after she pointed a gun at a bank teller and demanded $400, police say.
Fox 29 reports that Emily Coakley, who uses a walker, had been to the same bank a day earlier, but when she counted her money after returning home, she believed she had been short-changed by $400.
So on Tuesday afternoon, she grabbed a gun and her walker and went back to collect the balance, the sources said.
Police officers quickly moved in to make the arrest, Fox 29 reports.
Coakley was charged with aggravated assault, robbery, terroristic threats and related offenses, according to police, and was released on her own recognizance.
"That's crazy. It's mind-blowing," one bank customer told Fox 29.
"That's pretty unusual. I never heard of a bank robber that age and armed," John McDonald said, as he walked outside the bank.
Fox 29 reported that FBI agents examined the woman's .38 caliber revolver and found that the gun was not loaded, but she was carrying bullets with her.

Q: Subdomains re-directing to Ghost Blog installed in site root I have Ghost installed in my site root, and another instance installed in a subdomain. Ghost was installed with Softaculous and both of these instances are working correctly. (Seperate databases and ghost instances.)
However, other subdomains now return a ghost 404 page instead of displaying their contents.
My file structure looks like:
public_html
  ├── subdomain                 - This displays the ghost 404 page from my root installation
  │   ├── index.html            - I want it to display this index.html file
  │   └── assets
  ├── ghost subdomain           - This is working correctly
  │   ├── content
  │   ├── core
  │   └── etc
  ├── content
  ├── core
  ├── config.js
  ├── Gruntfile.js
  └── etc

My main site's config.js file production settings look like:
    production: {
    url: 'http://courtneyspurgeon.com',
    mail: { removed }
    },
    database: {
        client: 'mysql',
        connection: {
    host: 'localhost'
    user: 'removed'
    password: 'removed'
    database: 'removed'
    charset: 'utf8',
    insecureAuth: true,
    socketPath: '/tmp/mysql.sock',
        },
        debug: false
    },
    server: {
        // Host to be passed to node's `net.Server#listen()`
        host: '0.0.0.0',
        // Port to be passed to node's `net.Server#listen()`, for iisnode set this to `process.env.PORT`
        port: '65506'
    }
},

I suspect I need to change the server settings, or scope part of this somehow, but I'm not sure how.
If it helps, my main site is: http://courtneyspurgeon.com/ (running ghost)
And an example of a subdomain that is not working: http://blog.courtneyspurgeon.com/ (not running ghost, but returning the parent site's 404 content.)
I welcome suggestions regarding what files or settings I should look at, even if you don't have a specific answer.

A: You should have a look at your Apache config files.  You will need to have a config file for courtneyspurgeon.com that directs traffic to Ghost and another that is listening on blog.courtneyspurgeon.com that directs traffic to public_html/subdomain/index.html.  Right now it sounds like Apache is not being told that it needs to handle your courtneyspurgeon.com and blog.courtneyspurgeon.com traffic differently.
If you are using Ubuntu I would have a look in /etc/apache2/sites-available/ and /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.  And if you are on CentOS take a look in /etc/httpd/sites-available and /etc/httpd/httpd.conf.

Realism, Naturalism, and Pragmatism
Freshman (College 1st year) ・Philosophy ・MLA ・3 Sources
Philosophy is the study of ultimate knowledge, the nature of existence, goodness, and reality as discovered by human thought (Dunnington 14). Philosophy is a broad discipline with many branches, including metaphysics, which is concerned with the nature of reality. There are four schools of thought in this branch of philosophy that provide the foundations for educational theories. Pragmatism, realism, naturalism, and idealism are the four categories. The purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the four philosophical approaches and to show how idealism makes more sense than the other schools of thought. Realism is a metaphysical view that an abstract concept or material object exists in an external world independent of our beliefs, conceptual schemes, and linguistic practices. In this type of philosophy, two major questions are raised; what object exists, and how can an individual tell what exists. The answer to these issues is provided by information in philosophy which asserts that objects exist in the world of time and space. However, realism is contrasted with the idea that general terms, abstract concepts or universals do not exist independently.
Naturalism is a metaphysical approach that believes in the existence of nature. However, it asserts that all supernatural things are non-existent. It argues that any mental characters that exist depend on non-mental powers, things or properties, implying that all minds are entirely caused by natural phenomena (Williamson 30). On the other hand, pragmatism is a philosophical approach that entails the idea that proposition is true if it is satisfactory.
In my view, this school of thought makes more sense than the other philosophical doctrines. Philosophers claim that idealism is a philosophical belief that ideas are the only things worth knowing in life and that is the actual reality. It argues that real things are mainly mental entities and not physically perceived (Dunnington 20). An idealist is a person who believes in ideals and tries to make them real despite the fact that they may not be easily achievable. Idealism contrasts with realism and pragmatism whose goals are less ambitious.
According to The history of philosophy by Dunham et al. (2014), the fundamental unit of reality is conceptual and not material in philosophical idealism; that is why it is a very different approach from materialism, realism, pragmatism, and naturalism. For instance, idealists believe that you cannot step outside your mind to interact with the outside world. Therefore, one cannot be sure whether this "outside" exists.
Real life situation of idealism
A primary example of idealism is a computer program which is an idea developed from the arrangement of information. Although the program is contained in a physical circuit, they can be transferred to different hard drives but still retain the same program implying the significance of idealism. Also, when an individual sees someone receiving a ball which is arcing through the air, it follows the path of a parabola or a mathematical trajectory. Idealists argue that neither the air nor the ball is real but the ideas which they represent may be real.
In this regard, all reasoning depends on the awareness of the mind itself and that the external objects perceived are only actors that come on and off the stage. Therefore, idealism proves to be more sensible in looking at philosophy and is the best teaching style in education.

Q: FOSS Splunk alternative? What FOSS alternatives are there to splunk? From the splunk feature-set, at least the following should be available:

*

*real-time aggregation of logs from multiple sources into a single index

*real-time querying and graphing

*somewhat intelligent segregation of columns from log lines, and filtering based on that

Also some no-no's, mainly because of non-technical constraints:

*

*not based on HBase/Hadoop/Cassandra (well, basically Java)

If there is none currently available, what would be a good starting point to build one from?
Based on research so far, the option seems to be (scribed)[https://github.com/facebook/scribe] and (logstash)[http://logstash.net/]. Anything better that I'm missing out?

A: Look at Graylog2 or at Kibana. Both based on elastic search, booth are Open Source. Graylog2 is under heavy development. Graylog2 is Java, now. Both are no real equivalent to SPLUNK, SPLUNK is multiple years ahead, but it's possible that these tools are also meet your requirement.

A: Have not tried this product myself, but Alien Vault OSSIM 4.3 seems to be very similar in functionality as Splunk. There is an open-source version and a paid version you can use.
Depending on what kind of log you want to feed it you will need the Clearcutter Log Sample Analyzer, also found on their site, to interpret the data.

Lionel Messi receives formal PSG two-year contract offer after Barcelona exit
by Richmond Addy August 10, 2021 0
Lionel Messi has received a formal two-year contract offer from Paris Saint-Germain.
The French club have offered Messi an initial two-year deal, thought to be worth £25m a year after tax, and the six-time Ballon d'Or winner and his representatives are now reviewing and considering it carefully
Messi also has two other potential options after leaving Barcelona but PSG remain the favourites to sign him.
Barcelona announced Messi would not continue at the club after they were unable to fulfil a new contract that had been agreed with the player due to "financial and structural obstacles".
The Argentina international has spoken directly with PSG head coach Mauricio Pochettino this week about moving to the French capital.
Asked if PSG will be his next move at his farewell news conference on Sunday, Messi said: "That is one possibility, to reach those heights.
"I've got nothing confirmed with anybody. I had a lot of calls, a lot of interested clubs. At the moment, nothing is closed, but we are talking about a lot of things."
PSG quickly emerged as the front-runners for his signature, in a move that would reunite him with former Barcelona team-mate Neymar.
Messi said he did not want to leave Barcelona in an emotional farewell news conference on Sunday.
Messi was in tears as he received a standing ovation in his final Barcelona press conference to announce the end of his 21 years with the club.
Barcelona confirmed Messi's departure on Thursday night, the same day he returned to Catalonia following his post-Copa America holiday.
Messi had travelled to Barcelona expecting to agree on the details of the announcement of his new five-year deal, and he confirmed he offered to reduce his wages by 50 per cent.
"This year, my family and I were convinced we were going to stay at home, that's what we all wanted more than anything," said Messi.
"We'd always made this our own, we were at home. We thought we would be staying here in Barcelona. But today, we have to say goodbye to all of this."

Agyemang Badu: Covid, my brush with death – and seeking justice for my sister


BF: don't want to know!
Food Weaknesses: White yeast rolls and depressed sugar benges!
Pluses: What we do have is usually pretty healthy, even if I struggle to make anything of it. And I have lots of time to work out. I also LOVE boxing- that's a primal workout, right?
Challenges: I have a really busy schedule right now. I work full time and go to school part time (2 classes per quarter, no breaks). Its so easy to just by prepackaged food (like Lean Cuisines or others). I also am not a breakfast eater (unless coffee counts).
Pluses: My husband is on board...actually it was his idea. He started reading a book about primal/paleo eating (don't remember which) because he's really into anthropology, and he thought it made sense. I, personally, have been searching and searching for a food program I can stick to, and primal eating pretty much fits in with what I eat already.
Food Weaknesses: Cheese! Cheese has always been my biggest threat when I try eating healthy. Also creamy sauces, for some reason, I love sauces, and most especially the creamy ones! And lastly, flavored coffee drinks. Recently I've started doing black coffee with shots of flavor, which still isn't *ideal* but better than my standard Caramel Macchiatos or Rasberry White Mochas.
I'm a little over three weeks into the Four Hour Body diet and have been really impressed with my new-found discipline. However, after about two weeks I couldn't deny that I'd plateau'd. Early this week I decided to drop the beans from the diet and see what happened. I started to decrease again, but then for some reason I panicked and added the beans again and lo' and behold my weight went back up. So I looked at the book again and saw that basically, I needed to get off of the main diet, which is for people who are looking to lose a ton of weight and move over to the section entitled "The Last Mile" in which it prescribes eating smaller protein rich meals every three hours and....dropping beans. So that's where I am now. Right where I was headed anyway. Now that I'm there. I just gotta hold steady and make sure not to forget about the other parts of the glorious Primal Blueprint.
I'm over two weeks into Four Hour Body and feeling good. The key to sticking with this for me has been repeating meals. Yes, eating the same stuff over and over again and not putting too much pressure on having to cook a big meal for every meal. To that end, I have been using my Foreman Grill like crazy and eating a lot of frozen veg and canned beans. I am planning to make a batch of lentils from scratch today since I am sure they will be better than canned and I can pick off of them for days to come. I also have to say it helps to have a once a week cheat day on this diet. Not so much because I love junk food so much, but because at least once a week I have some social event where I am pretty certain I will not have many "on-diet" options. For example, yesterday I was at a wedding and lots of the food was of the bread/noodle variety.
4) Remember that primal is a lifestyle not just a way of eating.
apparently there are some Apps for the iPhone (and I am assuming other phones as well) that assist with primal eating!
I did my first Whole30 in August, 2010. It was an amazing, helpful, enlightening, and overall fantastic experience.
I went through my personal LJ entries tagged with Whole30 and just copied and pasted stuff here for those of you on this comm who are considering doing a Whole30.
Sugar and carb cravings are gone. Do I think ice cream or a sour cream doughnut would be tasty? Sure. Am I obsessing over how much I want them? No. In fact, I hadn't even thought about food cravings until a friend brought up the subject on her blog because she was suffering mightily from them. Oh, and it's that time of the month for me, so the fact that I'm not experiencing cravings or even thinking about them is amazing.
Once I put my mind to it, this is actually pretty easy. Of course, I'd already ditched six of the eight restrictions.
And speaking of Whole30, today marks the end of week one. Things are going swimmingly. I'm enjoying what I'm eating (with one exception) and even managed to dine at a restaurant with no difficulty or compromises. I didn't intend to have the first week of the Whole30 experiment coincide with my period, but ah well. Nothing like trial by fire! As I reported earlier, I had no food cravings and the period itself wasn't awful.
Overall, things are going well on the body front, but I'm having a hard time not stepping on the scale. It's so tempting to want that Validation of Progress, but weight loss isn't shouldn't be my goal here. What I need to do is get my food and thyroid issues under control. Vanity should take a back seat to that. Right?
Whole30 is going well. Surprisingly well. One could almost say it's been a breeze. I'm on day nineteen (of thirty) and while I miss the cream in my coffee, I don't agonize over it. I'll be very happy to be reacquainted with wine again, but I'll continue to kick dairy to the curb until after KCRF.
This style of eating is working better than any other method in my life. I've nearly eliminated the crazy after-meal bloating, I haven't had any stomach pains in months, my energy levels are higher, and the obsessive food cravings are gone. While the scale isn't reflecting any difference, I can see arm, leg, back, and ab definition that have been absent for years. That's after only three weeks of this lifting program. What's not to like?
That said, I'd like to endorse everything that Melissa says in her Hunt Gather Love blog here. There are over six billion human beings on this planet. The idea that any one thing is going to work for every single person (regardless of what it is you're trying to get to work) is ridiculous and arrogant. Two things I strive to avoid.
I ate two apples yesterday (both very small, one before dance class, one after). No nausea, but I'm super bloated today and uncomfortable. I think no more bags of apples, no matter how delightful and locally-grown.
I enjoy coconut milk in my coffee as much as I did cow cream.
Thursday through Saturday were spent in a borderline binge-fest. I'm back to a Whole30 mode of eating for the next few weeks. Maybe a glass of wine on the weekend, but I gotta get back on the wagon. I didn't eat anything technically off my menu, but I am feeling icky from eating too much fruit and fruit-sweetened items. Apples in my cranberry-squash casserole, baked pears, hot cider...major fructose overdose. Friday and Saturday I had some bad stomach cramping and I felt hungry all the time. No fun. Happily, we had an impromptu dinner guest last night, so I got to unload the last of the squash and the pears.
I'm surprisingly excited about a return to lower sugar vegetables and Moar Meat. Those stomach cramps really sucked and I forgot what it was like to be thinking about food all the time. What a drag. I used to live like this? Suxxor.
"There are off-diet foods you can eat with little perceived negative effect, and there are others that will absolutely wreck you if you eat even the tiniest amount. The catch is, these things are different for everyone. Use our Whole30 program to figure out what foods are okay, and what are not. You will eventually figure out that the not okay foods are simply never, ever going to be worth it."
I'm finding that even on-diet foods, when eaten to excess, cause me troubles. Which is good to know, but kind of a drag. I'm finding some comfort in the knowledge that, so far, wine (white and red) has given me absolutely zero problems after being re-introduced post Whole30.
Hey, it's the moderator here. Sorry to let the comm go a bit dormant but I've not been doing much exciting in the way of primal these days. I did, however, start doing 4 Hour Body, which is almost primal (save for the beans). Primal just didn't seem to be cutting it for me in terms of giving me the discipline and will-power to stick with it long enough to actually see any major results. I'm hoping that after a month or so of 4 Hour Body , I'll have recharged my batteries enough and gotten to the weight I want to be (I only want to lose 10 pounds or so) and feel ready fully recommit myself to primal eating (God, I can't wait to stop eating all these beans!). In the meantime, if I happen to make anything interesting, I'll try to remember to post it here.
Happy new year to everyone and good luck with your health and fitness goals!

BOZELL: What's Halloween without racism charges?
"It might have been a better starting point to ask if it's offensive for a white boy to want to be Black Panther for a few hours."
October 30, 2018 L. Brent Bozell III and Tim Graham Opinion
It's Halloween and time for another round of outrage over inappropriate costumes.
Once upon a time, parents — most of them, anyway — were concerned with oversexualized costumes for little children, but how unenlightened was that? Today we're focusing our energy on what's really important. Now it's all about "cultural appropriation." White children need to "own their privilege" and not dress up and pretend to belong to a nonoppressive race.
Megyn Kelly ran afoul of NBC's "diversity/inclusion" police, and as we write this, it looks like she'll be canned for saying: "But what is racist? Because truly, you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on white face for Halloween." Oops. The word "blackface" is loaded and should be avoided, since people immediately think of minstrel shows, and kids shouldn't dress up as Al Jolson crooning "Mammy" in "The Jazz Singer."
Kelly continued: "Back when I was a kid, that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character." Not only was she tongue-lashed on air by NBC's black news stars; it seems like this gave NBC a reason to end her morning show, a cover story to nix the (cringe) Fox News woman.
It might have been a better starting point to ask if it's offensive for a white boy to want to be Black Panther for a few hours. And if that's wrong, can a person of color be Superman?
Can a white comedian impersonate a black man? If not, then can a black man not poke fun at white people either? And what does it say about white people that when that happens, we … laugh?
Oh, the intolerant preachings of the tolerant left.
CNN analyst Kirsten Powers is one of these obnoxious people. The other day, she tweeted: "Dear white people who are upset that you can't dress up as another race or culture for Halloween: your feelings don't matter. The only feelings that matter are of those who feel disrespected/mocked by you appropriating their culture for entertainment. Show some common decency."
This is the same Kirsten Powers who wrote a book in 2015 titled "The Silencing: How the Left Is Killing Free Speech." Back then, she worked for Fox.
Back in 2015, after Powers' book came out, then-Yale lecturer Erika Christakis sent an email around campus suggesting Halloween used to be a time for children to be a little naughty or subversive. She wrote about Disney princess costumes, saying: "it is hard for me to give credence to a claim that there is something objectionably 'appropriative' about a blonde-haired child's wanting to be Mulan for a day. … I wonder what is the statute of limitations on dreaming of dressing as Tiana the Frog Princess if you aren't a black girl from New Orleans? Is it okay if you are eight, but not 18?"
She even concluded, "Whose business is it to control the forms of costumes of young people? It's not mine, I know that."
Nearly a thousand students, faculty members and deans called for both Christakis and her husband, Dr. Nicholas Christakis, a Yale professor, to be fired immediately for this alleged offense. She stopped lecturing, and her husband resigned some duties at the end of the school year in 2016.
Powers actually spoke to the Christakis incident (and others) when she was a Fox News analyst in November 2015. She said, "It is not actually that anybody is in any danger." Bill O'Reilly added, "It is oppressive to hear somebody with an opposing point of view." Powers replied, "Exactly. … They talk about it as if they've been actually physically attacked, because somebody has expressed an opinion different than theirs."
Now reread that tweet of hers. You have our permission to laugh — quietly.
There's nothing wrong with Halloween spurring a "teaching moment" for children, but what is being taught? Leftists want to use these costume controversies as just another grenade to destroy the careers of anyone asking them a single challenging question about how to negotiate their minefield.

Hey folks! I've got a small update here to help quell some of the rumors and let you know where we are at for WoW Classic. We recently began a phase of internal employee alpha testing. The new build data that many of you have been discussing over the last few days is simply part of this process. Phases like this allow us to test out the game content along with other functionality that will be used in the live game, like logging in through the Blizzard Battle.net 175 App.
Zygor's Leveling Guide for The Elder Scrolls Online (PC Version) is an in-game, software based, strategy guide that will show you the quickest way to level your characters from 1-50. You can view and use the guide directly inside the game without having to print out anything or view the guide in a browser. This also means that our guides are dynamic and can track your progress in realtime.
You can opt in for the beta at the official site. When the beta launches on May 15, players who've gotten in will be able to play all the way from from level one to 30. WoW game director Ion Hazzikostas tells us that the beta will be "uncharacteristically small compared to our expansions," in part to ensure that the focus is on the proper launch this August.
WoW Classic seeks to recreate the "vanilla WoW" experience—that is, WoW as it existed before a series of seven game-altering major expansion packs from 2007's The Burning Crusade to 2018's Battle for Azeroth. To achieve this, Blizzard has rebuilt the game based on archived data from back in 2005 and 2006 (patch 1.12 is the goalpost—the current game is on patch 8.1.5). The company has committed to meticulously presenting the experience exactly as it was back then—warts and all—with only a small number of unavoidable or critical changes.
They seem to have expected some things, though, see adding pets with aquatic damage (gun and ooze) aswell as a resistant cockroach to stop us from cheesing everything with elementals. Yet, a fact their damage output is low combined with shields not checking for racial damage means this mechanic prevents a lot as you mentioned. The last boss has got an ability to remove basic shields so perhaps that was not in oblivion either… unlike the reactive damage. Also, an ability that forces swap altogether with an ability which prevents from being swapped, including critters? I can't say I like it.
The vanilla WoW Horde leveling guide you see on this site was originally made back in 2006 by Joana (AKA Mancow, or FuriousPaul). The guides have been tweaked many times over the years to make things "faster". The leveling guides were made because of all the messages I got from people asking me how I was able to level up so quickly on new realms. I was first to level 60 on 7 different realms (3 with Mancow and 4 with Joana), even winning Blizzard's "First to Level 50" contest they held back in 2006.
Analogy: think back on riding the swings in kindergarten. Was it fun? Now, imagine going back to those swings exactly as they were, and sitting in them now, as an adult. They're too small. They don't fit. Your feet drag on the ground because they're so low to the ground. The bar over your head is low enough that you can reach out and touch it, and even at the highest the swing will go, it's only about chest high when you're standing up. It's exactly the same swing, but riding on it now is a very different experience, yes?
The World of Warcraft is going back to its roots with WoW Classic. Giving players the chance to return to the game as it was around the time of its launch, WoW Classic is set to launch worldwide on August 27. However, ahead of its imminent release, the team at Blizzard are offering a closed beta test for WoW Classic, and we've got all the details players need to jump in on the action.
But how do you proportionally resize the swing? Even if you did, it wouldn't give you the same type of joy as when you were a kid, because you have grown up and changed. Even if that wasn't the case for you, you have to consider that the swing has become a place that is sacred for many other adults. When they visit, they aren't visiting to try out the new adult-swing. They want to try the old swing. The one that brings back the joyful memories of distant past. They know that the experience isn't the same, but if they close their eyes ... even for a brief moment ... they just might get that nostalgic thrill that brings them back to a time where things seemed so much simpler.
Different qualities aren't limited only to wild pets—many rare World drops and special non-wild companions have had their stats boosted. For example, the world-drop dragon whelps (Azure Whelpling, Crimson Whelpling, Dark Whelpling, and Emerald Whelpling) are of [rare] quality. Check your Pet Journal to see the color-coded rarity of your non-wild pets.


To enforce a court order means that you are asking a judge to make another person follow an order. There are many ways to make a person do something – it usually involves some sort of punishment or threat of punishment. Parents are encouraged, and are required, to resolve disputes outside of court or in other ways before asking the court to get involved.
The OAG will help you set up and enforce the child support and medical support portion of an order; it cannot help you enforce the visitation portion of an order. Texas is one of a few states that establishes parenting/visitation orders as part of the child support establishment process. In most states, parents must pay a separate filing fee to get a parenting time order.
Try to work out the problem with the other parent. If you need help reaching an agreement, read about mediation and mediation alternatives here. You may also go to mediation voluntarily, or you may file a motion asking the court to send you and the other parent to mediation.
Find an attorney to file a motion for enforcement on your behalf. You could hire a private attorney or find a legal aid attorney who can help you for free.
The exchange of children for visitation can be frustrating for everyone involved. If you are having problems exercising your visitation rights, good records will assist you in court if you cannot solve the problems in mediation. If the exchanges are difficult, contact the other parent about meeting with a neutral third party to resolve on-going issues. Check your local listings for mediators or dispute resolution centers.
Your children want to see you. Children like to know who will pick them up. Parents can prevent surprises by letting the other parent know beforehand if someone else will be picking up or dropping off the child. Making a prior agreement is the only way your child will know who will pick them up or drop them off. Only court orders or subsequent changes adopted by the court are enforceable. The court cannot uphold an informal agreement.
If you need a copy of your court order, contact the clerk of the district court that heard your case. If you need help understanding your order, an attorney can explain it to you. Unless you qualify for free legal assistance from your local legal aid agency, the attorney will charge you a minimal fee for this service.
If you do not have an attorney, you can call an attorney toll free at the Access and Visitation hotline at 1 (866) 292-4636 between 1 p.m. and 7 p.m., Monday-Friday. Spanish-speaking attorneys are available. If there is a domestic relations office in the county that issued your order, contact it for assistance in interpreting the order and with enforcing visitation. Check your local listings for contact information. The domestic relations office will not have a copy of your court order.
Check to see if your county has a domestic relations office (DRO) that enforces parenting time (possession) orders. A domestic relations office is a governmental entity available in some larger metropolitan counties. A DRO is called a "friend of the court" and can address court orders issued by the county or contiguous counties. The DRO does not represent either parent; its goal is to get both parties to follow their current court order. The DRO tries to help families reduce conflicts and cooperatively parent their child without external help. DROs require noncustodial parents to document a minimum number of attempts to follow the court order where the NCP was denied access to the child.
You may also go to mediation voluntarily or you may do it yourself and file a motion asking the court to send you and the other parent to mediation. See the YouTube video explaining family mediation in Texas.
This link takes you to TexasLawHelp.org Custody and Visitation Legal Resources page, where you can download free forms that may assist you.
A domestic relations office cannot modify your order for you. Read more about modification of visitation.
After you submit an application for enforcement services, an attorney will screen the application for eligibility. The attorney will help one or both eligible parents understand the order, and how to follow it.
Most DROs require both parents to make multiple efforts to resolve the issues before going to court. Efforts will include parent education classes for both parents, counseling if indicated; in-house mediation, and possibly supervised visitation or neutral exchanges of the child during a cooling down period.
If the noncustodial parent cooperates with the DRO and the custodial parent does not, the DRO could file a contempt motion. The DRO does not represent the CP or NCP but presents the case to the court for enforcement purposes. Although rare, a custodial parent could be jailed and/or sentenced to probation for refusing parenting time in accordance with the court order. Any or all of the services listed above could be court-ordered. Again, the goal is for parents to cooperatively parent their child instead of a court telling them what to do.
The OAG helps establish parenting orders but cannot enforce them. Parents can file a lawsuit asking the court to penalize the other parent for violating the court order. Most courts will order parents into mediation first. Penalties might include requiring the offending parent give you make-up parenting time, to pay fees and fines, or in serious cases, to go to jail or be placed on probation. You also may have the option of suing the other parent, and asking the court for damages. Damages could include attorney's fees, other costs you've had to pay, or money to make up for problems the other parent caused.
Sometimes the problem is that the visitation schedule just doesn't work for you, your child, or the other parent. People have very different schedules, and a standard visitation schedule may not fit your life. In this case, you can work out an alternate visitation schedule with the other parent.
If you cannot reach an agreement, you can ask the court to change your visitation schedule so that it's a better fit. This is called a modification. Learn more about how to modify a visitation/possession order. Keep a journal of dates and times you are denied time with your child(ren) as evidence to support your complaint. You must maintain an accurate journal to enforce your visitation/possession rights in court. Update the journal when the denial occurs while the events are fresh. A denial occurs when you physically go to the appointed place (as listed in the court order) to meet or pick up your child(ren) at the exact time ordered by the court, and you are denied access to your child(ren). If a reason is given for the denial, be sure to record that reason in this journal.
A denial does not include notification by phone or electronically before the scheduled date and time of the visit that you will be denied access. Record calls or texts in your journal every time they happen. You still need to go to the approved place for meeting and picking up your child(ren) at the exact time stated in the court order, and record the event if you want to seek enforcement of your visitation rights.
If possible, have a witness present at the denial. Ask someone who can be available to testify in court if necessary. Keep that person's name, address, and phone number. It may not be a good idea to have the witness be your significant other or spouse. If the exchange site is at a commercial business, such as a fast food restaurant, buy an item and keep the receipt as evidence of the time and date you were there. Keep this receipt. A record of at least three denials within a brief time span is helpful if going to court.
If you are denied access to your child when you arrive, leave and record the denial. Do not cause a scene. Before the next scheduled date, contact the other parent to see if you can pick up the children at a convenient place other than that parent's home, such as an aunt or grandparent's home or a child friendly place of business.
If the court finds that there has been fighting, verbal abuse, or physical violence at the exchanges, the court may order you to exchange the children at a neutral site and may require one or both of you to pay the costs. Additionally, the court may prevent visitation when family violence is a risk.
You cannot claim you were denied visitation unless you actually appear in person at the pick-up location listed in your court order, even if the other parent has already told you that he or she will not be there or will not be giving you your child.
