MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — The trial for a Berkeley County couple accused of abusing five children in their custody, depriving them of food, shooting them with BBs and bottle rockets, and other mistreatment is expected to begin Tuesday after being postponed Monday due to inclement weather, court officials said.
Christina Ann Snyder, 44, and Nathan Allen Snyder, 29, of Bunker Hill, W.Va., were indicted in Februay 2010 on multiple counts of child abuse causing bodily injury.
A girl, who was 5 at the time, told police that Nathan Snyder beat her on the leg with a metal spoon so hard that she was bleeding and needed stitches at the hospital last year, according to court records.
The girl also said Nathan Snyder hit her in the eye with a bat and that he beat her legs with belts, according to court records.
The other children allegedly abused were an 8-year-old girl, a 12-year-old boy and two 14-year-old boys, according to court records.
The victims told police they were burned with cigarettes, beaten and punched, and one was made to run laps around a gravel road in his bare feet, according to court records.
One of the teens told police he was choked to the point of nearly passing out, and was awakened in the middle of the night and told to go to a neighbor's house about a mile away to ask for beer and cigarettes, according to court records.

Film is as artform unlike any other. Unlike paintings, film actually speaks. Unlike books, film actually shows. Unlike sculptures, film expresses its feelings in a way open to all individuals.
Film touches. Film feels. Film laughs. Film cries. Film thinks. Film laughs. Film scares. Film exites. Film loves. Film comforts. Film stays with you after it's long over.
I've long been a writer of film in various places, but this blog is for ASU students, by an ASU student, watching films he rented from the Belk Library at ASU. Others may share their love as well and may even find useful information, but this will be a prospective-driven blog.
I will list the new releases you should be checking out. I will write about each film, documentary and TV show that I check out from the Belk Library DVD section, and then I will tell you whether it's worth watching. I have a rating system that is based on the library. John Leguizamo "Read" posters. If the DVD is a must-watch, then it gets 5 Leguizamos. The worst a DVD can get is 1 Leguizamo.
So there you go, I hope this becomes a resource for somebody, or at least introduces one person to one great work they otherwise wouldn't have viewed without this blog.
Note 1: This blog is not officially associated with Appalachian State University, the North Carolina University System, Belk Library, the North Carolina Library System, or any organizations of any sort. The opinions expressed are solely those of the writer.

Trigger warning: this article discusses paedophilia
Recently, experts have claimed that paedophilia ought to be seen as a type of sexual orientation, just like hetero or homosexuality. But should it be seen in these terms and what are the implications of this new label?
The first issue, naturally, is if such a label is appropriate. By sexual orientation we mean 'an enduring pattern of romantic or sexual attraction.' The atypical trend has been to avoid giving paedophilia this label and refer to it as a psychological disorder. In 2013, however, Dr James Cantor (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health) suggested that it is a 'biologically rooted condition that does not change' and effects 2% of men, suggesting that it is a natural condition that cannot be 'cured'. In terms of LGBT+, the majority view has been to stress the natural-bias on sexual orientation, so homosexuality or asexuality are not seen as "choices" that an individual makes but rather features of their personality. Thus, holding Cantor's widely-accepted evidence and our standard 21st-century attitude to sexual orientation, paedophilia does stand as a sexual orientation.
So why does this matter? It means that paedophilia is no longer a choice, and cannot be treated medically or psychologically. But this leaves us locking away potential paedophiles because their threat to children and imposing medication on them to suppress (but not treat) their urges. This, seemingly, makes a paedophile look more like a victim of the system than a criminal, which is obviously problematic. We wouldn't be locking them away in virtue of them having done something wrong, but rather in order to protect young children. Equally, in reforming them we would simply be ordering them not to act on their natural sexual impulses. We have to remember that fifty years ago the same attitude held to homosexuality. But because we hold on to notions of consent, we thus say paedophiles are wrong in their natural sexual construction. But if they have not chosen it and have not acted on it, have they really done anything wrong?
Perhaps there is a loop-hole here. We cannot say that attraction to children itself is immoral per se, but acting upon such an attraction is. Thus the fact that paedophiles make comments such as "We do not choose to be attracted to children, and we cannot make that attraction go away," are irrelevant when considering the actual act of child abuse committed when a pedophile acts upon their desires.
This has two implications. The first is that society ought to no longer see sexual desire towards children as immoral or perverse. This may seem outlandish, but to do so would bear a fatal contradiction and injustice. Pedophilia is a biological attraction, and thus to object to its very occurrence is equal to objection to homosexual desires. To object to a person on the grounds of such a desire is to fatally misunderstand it and to unfairly subject and demean individuals. Furthermore, their admittance of their desire may help them to not act upon it. Non-abusive pedophilic desire is not wrong. The second is that we take a high ground on sexual desire. 98% of the population see their sexual desire as permissible to act upon, and stop the other 2%. This is less worrying; there are plenty of desires we have that are deplored (the desire to smoke, for example). The only factor here is that if you have pedophilic desires exclusively you would have to abstain from sex. But this a fair price for child protection.
There are some serious issues to deal with now that paedophilia is being seen as type of sexual orientation. The law and society as a whole may need to re-evaluate exactly how we approach this taboo area of sex, especially by removing stigma from the simple having of (but not acting upon) paedophilic desire.

Edinburgh is residence to world-class tech expertise and leading tech corporations, including two 'unicorns' – Skyscanner and Fanduel and town was lately named Best European Metropolis for Technology Firms to Find. The listing of engineering outposts as we speak includes a who's who of the world's prime technology corporations: from giants like Apple, Google and Fb to global powers like Alibaba and Tencent to among the world's most useful startups like Uber and Airbnb.
Major players in expertise are bolstering their workforces with former government employees holding high-secret and better clearances needed to share categorized data, as congressional probes and a federal investigation led by Particular Counsel Robert Mueller proceed to unearth details about Russia's meddling in final 12 months's election.
Different efforts: Last week, Intel laid out its personal public coverage principles for synthetic intelligence, including setting aside R&D funds for testing the applied sciences and creating new human employment opportunities as AI changes the way people work.
However the issue isn't merely sensible or technical – it boils all the way down to questions about what precisely technology firms are and do. Social media firms are inclined to refer to themselves not as publishers, which might make them answerable for any content material hosted there, but as platforms, a designation for which there is a a lot much less clear regulatory and moral framework.
The techniques I describe in the book, meant to assist product designers build healthy habits of their users (like utilizing a wellness app, keeping higher track of private finances, or staying in contact with household and pals) are the identical techniques used by some to keep individuals un-healthfully hooked.

Mikey got creative with his gifts for me this year. There were five envelopes hidden in the tree and it was so fun to open each one.
His sense of humor really shows though on these cards (and his artistic skills too! Ha!) and it takes me back and gives me butterflies like I had when we fell in love the first time seven and a half years ago...
1. A trip to a forest full of monkeys! Who wouldn't want to go there! And snacks! He sure knows what I like...
2. My choice of potted plants! I can't get me enough potted plants! But I guess I can't choose a small tree that takes three people to carry.
Ooh... maybe I'll choose some plants for indoors!
Good idea, self!
3. Three hours to go BY MYSELF to a gorgeous hotel and sip a paid-for mocktail? Glory hallelujah!
I think the emphasis here belongs on the BY MYSELF part. Wow. What a gift!
4. A trip to a family fun park! And I always love it when the words 'all inclusive' are used.
5. This is the best one.
Can you read it? He's gonna:
a. Take me shopping. He actually used the term 'to as many stores necessary.' (Um, did you mean that honey? Cause I'm not sure you really meant that...)
b. Buy me a new stove!!!!
c. Did you catch that?
d. Buy me a new stove with functional burners AND a door that closes!!!
Wow. My heart is fluttering...

Preventing Suspensions Tool Kit
The Supports for Student Success Toolkit has been developed by the Wellness, Resiliency and Partnerships (WRaP) Project as a guide for educators supporting students suspected of living with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD).
Supports for students are most effective when they are relationally-based. Relationally-based support is a universal strategy that benefits all children and youth, especially those living with FASD. Encouraging and supportive relationships with teachers and mentors in the school environment contribute to a positive school experiences for students living with FASD. Supporting students with FASD begins with an understanding FASD as a brain-based disability and a medical diagnosis, which ultimately informs the strategies for successful interventions.
In this toolkit, educators and administrators will learn tips, ideas and strategies to support student success and prevent suspensions.
Alberta Mentoring Partnership
Involving students in their school community can be a powerful way to support school engagement and prevent suspensions.
