Is Pedophilia The Next Liberal "Civil Rights" Issue
Protecting our children is not a violation of the rights of those who would abuse them!
Normalizing Immoral and Criminal Behavior
In this age in America and around the world, it has become normal to look for the next "civil rights" issue to normalize. Civil rights as defined by "The American Heritage" dictionary is: The rights belonging to an individual by virtue of citizenship, especially the rights to due process, equal protection of the laws, and freedom from discrimination.
Does that freedom from discrimination include more than just civil issues such as gender, race, religion, age, etc.. to condone immoral or illegal behavior? According to some that are always screaming about having other's morality pushed down their throats, isn't that is exactly what they are doing by pushing their immorality down our throats? Aren't these commonly accepted rules for behavior what make a society civilized to begin with?
It seems that since relative truth has been pushed throughout our educational system and society, that we're now confused about what discrimination, civil, and moral issues really are. Discrimination is to make a clear distinction or to make distinctions on the basis of preference or prejudice. Making a clear distinction according to accepted rules of behavior is quite different from making distinctions according to prejudices one holds.
Moral is defined as: Conforming to established standards of good behavior. Of course many would like to do whatever is seen as right in their own eyes, with no rules to constrain their behavior in anyway. This would be anarchy; the absence of any governmental rules or laws, or confusion and disorder. Let me asure you that you would soon find this to be horrible when your rights were no longer respected. Those that hold to this anarchist view will soon find themselves among many other anarchists in prison.
Although prison isn't an anarchist society, it still has many more rules to try to maintain order. This is where a civilized society sends those who refuse to accept the normal moral rules of civilization.
Pedophilia is the psycho-sexual disorder with an abnormal attraction for sexual activity with prepubertal children. According to Fox news and other reports, there has been conferences of mental health professionals to normalize pedophilia actions against children. According to this Fox News report the lobbying group B4U-Act states: "According to the group, which is said to not endorse every point of view expressed, the speakers in attendance concluded that "minor-attracted" individuals are largely misunderstood and should not be criminalized even as their actions should be discouraged."
Just take a look at the promo video by B4U-Act; a group lobbying for the decriminalization of acts of pedophilia against children. I couldn't include showing this video here at hubpages due to explicit language in one of the videos that automatically follows it. This link takes you to statements documented by doctors on behalf of pedophiles.
Most civilized people should be in an uproar over this push to declare this sexual deviant behavior as normal and decriminalize it, thereby making our children fair game for these predators. That children could be considered mature enough to consent to sex with an adult is ludicrous. While most might say that pedophilia could never be considered normal and decriminalized. Isn't this a similar path through which homosexuality became viewed as normal?
While I don't condone the homosexual lifestyle, this is not an attack on homosexuals. This is merely examining the path through which pedophiles are trying to normal their lifestyle, and realizing that it is a similar one. Prior to 1973, homosexuality was viewed as a disorder by the the American Psychiatric Association according to DSM ( Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.) In 1973 and 1975 changes were made by the APA to remove homosexual behavior from the DSM as a disorder. This would appear to be a similar path to normalizing Pedophilia, what is now considered deviant sexual behavior.
Pedophilia differs from homosexuality in that the later are both consenting adults, whereas the former has a child victim. This push to decriminalize pedophilia seems to ignore that there are child victims to this crime. As in the case of rape there is a victim. Even in cases of those adults that are not mentally competent to give their consent; such as drugged, mental illness, and others , it is still a crime. Why would these psychiatrists normalize pedophilia, acquiescing to those whose sexual behavior victimizes our children. The groups at the conference sought to "change public perception towards pedophiles and encourage tolerance."
According to the Washington Times, in 1990, the Journal of Homosexuality published a special double issue in which it referred to child-adult sex as " male intergenerational intimacy." Now those with normal sexual morals are viewed as the ones that are ill, because of holding to established norms. Is this the "slippery slope" that Christian conservatives warned us about?
Aren't there some moral and criminal laws that should be retained for the good of civilization and humanity? Or should we just cast off all laws and live in a state of anarchy, "doing whatever is deemed right in our own eyes?" Weren't these laws established to protect the weak and innocent from those who would exploit and oppress them? After this, what's next on the agenda for the radical liberals that seek to change social norms to their own perverted views? Aren't these all relevant questions?
In this article, I have sought to be fair and balanced in my views and not discriminate against the civil rights of any persons or groups of people. I'm not in anyway encouraging any hate speech or discrimination against any people or groups. I'm only trying to examine civil, moral, and criminal behavior and how tolerance has blurred and changed our definitions of these issues.
We as humans are always called to judge between right and wrong actions, so that we might continue to live in a civilized society. Those that refuse to judge their own actions or those in society around them, either end up in prison for doing wrong themselves or supporting a government bent on evil such as the Nazi regime during the holocaust.
In Yemen, the parliament overturned the law limiting the age of consent for marriage, saying that the parents should be the ones to determine when a child may marry. This resulted in the death of the 8-year-old child bride pictured at the top, from internal bleeding on her wedding night.
The Silence on the Issue of Pedophilia continues.
America's Most Wanted tells the story of a nationwide sex slave ring that kidnaps young boys and girls and sells them into the sex slave trade. It's now estimated that there is over 2 million forced sex slaves around the world, many of them children.
Pictures of three young boys gagged and bound were sent to the mother of Johnny Gosch, who was abducted when he was 12 yrs. old from Des Moines, Iowa in 1983.
Larry King who oversaw the Franklin Bank in Omaha was convicted and sentenced to 15 yrs. for embezzling millions from the bank, but the issue of forcing children into being sex slaves for rich and high powered elites was conveniently swept under the rug. Allegations of Larry King bringing children to Washington and even the Whitehouse for drug and sex parties with American politicians and children supplied by King were rampant, but conveniently covered up.
A documentary financed by the Discovery Channel named the "Conspiracy of Silence," about the use of boys and girls from Boystown to service prominent individuals and politicians sexually, was banned from being aired. Over 80 different children were witnesses to the crimes involving forcing orphaned children into child prostitution.
Did the FBI and other law enforcement officials cover up evidence of a child sex slave ring, so as not to expose the involvement of many of America's rich and high powered government officials? Or was the cover-up really to hide CIA involvement of using the now failed bank to launder money from the Contra guns for drugs program?
For those interested in more information on this, the book "The Franklin Scandal," by Nick Bryant details the Omaha scandal with Lawrence King as a pimp supplying children for the power base in Washington. According to Nick Bryant in "The Franklin Scandal, a civil lawsuit brought by Paul Bannaci, the judge ruled against Larry King, stating:
"Judge Urbom wrote in his decision, "Between December 1980 and 1988, the complaint alleges, the defendant King continually subjected the plaintiff to repeated sexual assaults, false imprisonments, infliction of extreme emotional distress, organized and directed satanic rituals, forced the plaintiff to 'scavenge' for children to be a part of the defendant King's sexual abuse and pornography ring, forced the plaintiff to engage in numerous sexual contacts with the defendant King and others and participate in deviate sexual games and masochistic orgies with other minor children. The defendant King's default has made those allegations true as to him. The issue now is the relief to be granted monetarily."
Why would this judge rule against King in this matter, if these allegations were not true? At the same time, the FBI refused to investigate these allegations, possibly even threatening witnesses in the case to recant their testimony.
He also looks into the Finders, a group with supposed ties to Satanism and possibly even our CIA; as some sort of group that used mind control to train children as assets to gain control by blackmail of politicians and law officials. As bizarre as these allegations seem, Tallahassee and Washington police charged members of "the finders" with various charges involving abuse of children. The charges were all dropped and all investigations were ordered to be stopped. It was declared to be an internal matter for the CIA and was considered a matter of national security. This was according to an U.S. Customs report.
These reports of a connection between a child sex slave ring with the CIA and Satanism were obviously never proven, but most investigations were stopped quickly and witnesses to the child sex slave ring were threatened into silence in the "Franklin Scandal" in Omaha.
Ex-FBI agent Ted Gunderson also confirms these ties between a child sex slave ring and Satanism, that includes a cover-up by government agencies. Recent allegations of U.K witches using young girls in ritualistic sex acts have led to charges against several individuals. Read more at http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/nov/28/witches-sex-abuse-allegations-children-court. When these situations involve government officials, such as in the Franklin Scandal, they are usually swept under the rug.
New revelations about the BBC's Jimmy Savile being involved in a child sex ring that hosted parties for the elite to engage in sex with children shows just how perverse and demonic many in the ruling class are. It also shows that these problems are worldwide, and though they were covered up in the above Franklin Scandal, sooner or later, these perpetrators should realise that their sins will be exposed.
A recent article on this can be viewed at http://theintelhub.com/2012/11/14/child-sex-rings-reveal-the-worst-of-the-power-elite/.
Are government agencies working to cover up acts of pedophilia being done by the rich power brokers and politicians to gain control of them?
Is there a sex slave ring with ties to government officials or agencies that sanctions it? Why are most of these incidents swept under the rug by the government and mainstream media?
Penn State revelations that officials knew about molestations and rape according to FBI
Shall we decriminalize mass murder and rape too?
The argument that this is just the way they were born, that it isn't a volitional choice, but rather a preference is ludicrous. The same thing could be said for many criminal behaviors; such as for compulsive lying, stealing, or serial killing. Shall we view this perverse attack on our children as just another sexual preference without a real victim and decriminalize it?
Now that anything we have always felt a preference to do is to be considered right in the eyes of society, should all actions be acquiesced to? President Assad of Syria will be glad to hear that murdering his own people is alright as long as he's always felt that as a preference! After all Hannibal Lector was a quite normal gentleman in many settings of the movie, so shouldn't we disregard murder and cannibalism as just another preference that he was subject to.
I understand that Hannibal was a fictional character in a movie, but it seems that we are living in a world just as fictional, where choices and consequences are irrelevant. Obviously, the morals of our pediatricians and psychiatrists is something that we should question from this point forward.
Relative Truth Destroys Moral Character
When university and hospital officials cover up the rape of children to protect their businesses, their football program, their reputations, or "to be more humane towards the molester," at the expense of the children involved, it shows how perverted our morals and good character have become.
It's one thing to not spread unsubstantiated rumors, it's quite another when there is sufficient evidence of criminal acts done to children to continue to cover it up. Putting sports programs or someone's career and reputation above the human rights of the victims shows just how our society has gotten turned upside down in the issues of right and wrong.
Even the few people reading this hub attests to the fact that it's an issue that nobody really cares about, as long as it's not affecting us. We've become a selfish society that no longer cares about the rights of those oppressed around us, unless we might get famous and go on Oprah for doing so.
Just maybe we are afraid, as recent civil rights history shows us that standing up for what's right may cost you your job, your reputation, and your freedom when you stand up to the powers that be for their wrongs done to others. Like the janitors at Penn State who said nothing after witnessing rapes, because of the blatant cover up of these crimes by university officials.
If we won't stand up for right or against things that are truly wrong, we don't deserve our freedom. And there's liable to be no one brave enough to stand up for us later, when we are the ones being oppressed.
Are we afraid of being accused of a hate speech crime by those that turn issues such as this from being a moral, criminal issue into a new civil rights issue? Obviously, this is also true of myself in light of my own disclaimers on this hub. It is not a matter of hating a person or a group of people. It is a matter of judging between right and wrong and taking a stand against wrongs being done to those too afraid or unable to stand up for themselves.
I've learned that if I won't stand up for the weak against those who oppress them, for fear of what may happen to me, by condoning their wrong actions by my inaction, I'm just as guilty.
How long will we continue to allow our children to be victimized by indiviual perverts or government agencies that would exploit them for blackmailing politicians?
Should pedophilia be viewed as a civil rights issue or remain a moral and criminal issue?
Pedophilia is an evil, egregious act. In fact, it is beyond reprehensible. I would like to know who were the 33% that voted for "rights" for pedophiles. What?! Pedophiles have no rights. There is only one penalty for pedophiles-place them in a desolate area w/o any type of amenities and let nature takes its course! Pedophiles are BELOW LOW!
Hey, slcockerham,
Have you been watching this case involving Kaitlyn Hunt in Florida. It looks like a case of using the LGBT rights issue to push pedophilia. The parent of the alleged perp is talking about getting the law changed to make such acts acceptable, which is almost creepier than the case itself - which is pretty creepy.
Here's an article - warning, there's some disturbing descriptions of sex acts there - and, also, a statement supposedly by someone at ACLU, as follows: This is "behavior that is both fairly innocuous and extremely common."
Of course, this isn't normal. But, they're certainly trying hard to find any wedge they can to make a dent in the laws and the acceptability of such things.
Here's the article - probably one of many such:
The American Spectatoar, "#FreeKate? Movement to Normalize Pedophilia Finds Its Poster Girl," Robert Stacy McCain
You're welcome.
Regarding this, you said: ..."especially after the Cleveland case, where the police missed three girls being held less than 2 miles away for ten years after reports about things going on at the house."
I think there's something important in that statement. In many instances, it seems like police are involved in these rings or are paid to turn a blind eye. Aspects of the Johnny Gosch case certainly point that out. His mother tried getting help from local and state police agencies with no assistance whatsoever - and why? - because they were involved.
Added - I apologize for my own typos, I was unable to edit after I hit the send button for some reason.
Interesting article!
I think I found a small typo, but it might be significant to anyone doing research on ths subject of pedophile kidnapping rings, the kidnapped boy's name is Johnny Gosch with a "G."
I see this effort coming from members of the two major parties. On the left, it's all about the normalization of pedophilia between boys and men, primarily. But, on the right there is an effort to decriminalize rape, to redefine it, ie. forcible or "legitimate" rape. And, much of ths effort seems to be coming for Christian religious zealots whose leadership is often caught raping little girls and women in their "flocks." They would like this to become simply a matter of a "sin" that needs to be forgiven and not a legal and criminal matter.
Notice, too, how rape victims are now referred to as "accusers" in the news, regadless of the victim's gender. We saw this in the Sandusky case and in the case of the Ohio Jane Doe, although she was never an "accuser," but the case was taken up because of video, pohtographic and other evidence posted by the perpetrators, themselves.
This is an effort be people in the darkest regions of government - the Johnny Gosch story illustrates this well, so does the Franklin scandal. Pedophilia is not the property of one party or the other - it's both of them. See, again, the Franklin scandal and look at the story of people like Cathy O' Brien (author of Trance Formation of America).
I would not put anything pass Liberals. They are perverted and lack moral decency. If more of them truly believed in God, they would not be as obsessive at trying to normalize/rationalize immorality.
Wow! Two out of nine people in your poll said pedophiles have rights...
The pedos and the rapists in general rule this country. Check out the comments sections on an article about rape or child sex abuse and you'll see that rapist have a great deal of support. In Steubenville, Ohio about half the town supports the rapists - they had a rally in support of the town - and very much against the victim. (You can find it on YT - the whole thing was videoed and posted.)
And, a lot of other people are just fine with it. Look at what goes on just in the airports. Most people think it's a-okay.

This post is somewhat personal, but I figure if I am sharing not only my wedding planning experiences with you, but also some details of our relationship, I should talk a little bit about our pasts.
I mentioned it briefly in a previous post, that Ted has been married before. I don't want to delve into the details of his previous relationship, and feel I wouldn't give a very biased view of things ;) They were married for a few years, and suffice to say, it didn't work out. They also have 2 children. He has been divorced for over 6 years.
When we first started dating, it didn't really bother me. If you remember, we were friends for awhile before we started dating, so there really was nothing to "hide". I guess you could say, on the surface, I knew what I was getting myself into, but it really is so much more that just that. Relationships are hard enough as it is, let alone throwing in 2 kids and an ex-wife. Priorities are different. Dynamics change. Sometimes, I was a pretty selfish girlfriend, and that just does not work when there are little ones to consider. There were times when I would get upset because I felt like the kids were taking time away from Ted & I being together (I know, it's horrible, but I am just being honest.). I would get annoyed and resentful. Especially when it came to his ex-wife. Talking to my mom was so helpful, as she told me to relax and just ENJOY the time we have with them. They are only little once, so why get bent out of shape when you could be having fun?
It was the first time I'd ever dated anyone with kids and it wasn't (and still isn't, as anyone with kids knows!) always easy, but we have all managed to raise 2 pretty great kids. We are to the point where neither one of them remember me NOT being there, as A was 4 and J was 2. His ex-wife and I actually get along very well. We all see each other or are together quite a bit, so it is just easier to get along…or if I'm in a bad mood, to fake it :) It makes Ted's life a lot easier, and that is what is important to me.
While there are low times when I wish that we didn't have to "deal" with all of this, I love Ted (& everything that comes with him) more than anything in this world. We are so close and genuinely enjoy spending our time and lives together. I can't imagine going through my days and nights with anyone else. We've made the decision to do this together and we are committed to doing the best we can for the two of us and our new family.
My darling Theodore and I at our friends wedding in the Tuscan countryside (talk about an amazing wedding!)

Homemade Lemonade
I am loving the summer! A few weeks back the kids decided to open a lemonade stand. The watered down lemonade (made from powder by eight year olds) gave me a craving for the real deal. So I rooted up this recipe...maybe someday I'll live in a house with a lemon tree in the backyard. Wouldn't that be paradise!
For homemade lemonade, you will need:
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
4-6 lemons
3 to 4 additional cups cold water (to dilute)
Heat 1 cup each of sugar and water in a small saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely. While the sugar is dissolving, use a juicer to extract the juice from 4 to 6 lemons, enough for one cup of juice. Mix the juice and sugar water to a pitcher. Add 3 to 4 cups of cold water to dilute. You can add more or less depending on how strong you like your lemonade. Refrigerate 30 to 40 minutes. If the lemonade is a little sweet for your taste, add a little more straight lemon juice to it. If you are feeling fancy serve with ice and sliced lemons.

I've been sick since Thursday, and it's really putting a hurtin' on my productivity.
Sometimes, when I'm not creating things, it makes me feel depressed. Even taking photos helps, as it's one of my favorite things to do creatively. But I'm adjusting to a new work schedule, and now some kind of annoying sinusey thing. I'll whip my butt back into shape this week, though.
I treated myself to a weekend of shopping to cheer myself up. Flowy tops and floral prints and floral printed flowy shorts. I'm yearning for spring, but here's one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands that I find myself playing over and over this time of year.

I read an article this week by John Maxwell titled, "Dreaming in the Daily Grind". From that article, I got to thinking on the phrase "the daily grind". We usually use that expression to describe the 'mundane unpleasantness of our work routine'. But the interesting twist is that it has two main meanings.
The first means "To wear down, reduce, or crush into powder by pounding or abrading" which most of us understand. However, the second meaning adds an interesting twist. It means, "To smooth, sharpen, or polish by friction or abrasion".
We all know that when you polish something, it usually comes up looking much better and even more valuable. Let's look at our own dreams. Sometimes we do have to work at something which we may consider a 'grind'. One thing I know for sure is that with all of the things that have happened in my life, I could look and say that life hasn't been fair, or I could say that with God's grace, guidance and deliverance, He has refined me, shaped me, and channelled me. The dreams I have (that have originated from Him) have been for a purpose, but the detailed journey to fulfilling that is something that is often out of my sight.
If I was to set up a business, the concept is great, the rewards can be awesome, but the journey can sometimes be a hard slog, but we do it with the end in mind. I need to realise that every dream will cost me something. The dream itself is free, but the journey can be costly.
I can choose to look at life through a set of glasses that say it's too hard or costly, or I can throw away those glasses and say that God is smoothing sharpening and polishing me, for something that will be very valuable to Him. When you surrendered your life to Him, you gave Him permission to do a great work, so sit back and allow the artist to create something amazing with His choice materials that are in you.
Have an amazing week,
Adrian Nyhuis

Over the last week our Lego sets got really mixed up and we couldn't build what we wanted to today. So instead we sorted the Lego out again. While it might look like this is just cleaning up its actually a great Maths task as we had to think about categories, count the number of studs on the bricks, measure the rods and use problem solving to work out how they all fit in the box.
We also learnt that the word actually means 'play well' which means that when we play with Lego we think about our team work skills, share the pieces and communicate with each other about what pieces we need to complete our kit.

Miniya returned to school in Term 3 eager to share with her peers a new skill she learnt over the School Holidays. She displayed her capabilities to explain and demonstrate the process and patiently helped teach a small group of peers and even Miss Cervenjak how to finger knit. Miss Cervenjak then extended the learning experience by teaching students a similar form of knitting known as 'French Knitting'. The Grade 1 students have now joined the senior knitting group during Lunch time to help knit items for homeless people around local Dandenong.
Alex shows off his French knitting and excitedly says, "I did this all today!"
"We are knitting our fingers" says Ali
What a fun, relaxing skill! Thanks to Miniya for sharing her passion with us!

In the fine art space Hussnain, Muhammad, Brian, Tarik, Ahsan and Abass spent a LA session looking at some birds that visit the school and then making a collage of colored paper to look like their feathers. We looked at the iPad and a bird book to see that we got the colors right so that others could learn and recognize these birds.
Ahsan worked on the Noisy Miner, Abass and Hussnain did a Rainbow Lorikeet, Muhammad chose the Crested Pigeon and Tarik and Brian selected the Galah.

Over the past few weeks, students have been designing and creating
their 'Dream Eco Cubby'. As part of the Eco Cubby Team, Sadul and Fiona D have
taken our ideas and presented them to the Eco Cubby Committee. Together they
will work with the Architect and Mr Lyon to design and build our very own
Wooranna Park Eco Cubby.
During Learning Agreement, Liam has engaged with this task having
planned his 'Tree House Cubby'. "It
has stairs and you have to climb them to go up. I think we should make it from
wood so it fits in the tree. Birds can live around it."
Liam then worked to build a model of his Cubby choosing to use
paddle pop sticks and PVA. To join the faces of his cube based structure he
then used the glue gun for extra support.
Liam was really proud of his end result. "I learnt to keep doing it, even when it got sticky!"

Such fun with our learning during Learning Agreement today!
Miniya, Brian and Nyamal challenged themselves with puzzles. They displayed persistence when their challenge got really tough! What is the puzzle of I wonder?
At the communication space Tarik was using the iPad to create words. I wonder what the longest word is that they can create?
Ian, Liam and Nathan were challenging themselves by measuring between A and B. That's a lot of unifix – I wonder how they will count them?!
Abass and Muhamad were listening to stories in the Campfire Space. I wonder which story was their favourite?
Elijah, Connor and Hussnain were creating machines in the Construction Space. I wonder which model is the fastest?

The Grade 1's were looking at the poem "A Child's Plea…" (the author of the poem is unknown) during shared reading workshops. This poem has been in their reading logs since prep. We read the poem and discussed what learning is and what our learning looks like. They came up with so many "Wonderings" and "Discoveries" from reading the poem!
The biggest discovery was that they began to look at what they do during the day and began to identify what their learning.
"We share with each other! We are a community" – Brian
"It's like the measuring that we are doing in the mathematics space" – Connor
"We played that memory game that is like a memory tray" – Jasmine
"Way and weigh are the same word but means different" – Tevi

"Today I went to the construction space for Learning Agreement. I was making a robot. I had to draw a plan first. The labels on my plan says feet, person, hand, body. I think my robot looks the same as my plan. Planning is a good thing so you know what to put on and so I can make it again." Brian
Maybe a challenge would be for someone else to look at the plan and make the robot?

Annie, my white Labrador retriever, was the best dog I've ever had. Those who have read the Afterword of my first book know all about her. Annie stayed by my side for the entire 12,000 hours it took me to write Cool Creatures, Hot Planet and died of cancer on the day I finished the manuscript. Annie has been dead for nine years now, but every once in a while I get a reminder of the impact she had.
Today's reminder came in a letter from the ACLU, addressed to Annie Essen. In bold on the outside of the envelope it said: "They're using religion to discriminate. YOU CAN STOP THEM." I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Information is imperative. This couldn't be more true regarding successful websites. This article is for you if you see more WordPress information. The information included here is a great place to begin. Try taking notes on these tips.
Spend some time getting to know all of WordPress's tools and options. It's important for you to understand what the different features do and how each option improves your webpage. This can help you control various formatting elements.
Make sure you choose a unique design instead of the same one as everyone else. It is tempting to try doing this to save time, but users won't think much of it. Make a site that's as unique as your business.
WordPress is great for adding video elements to blogs. While you may need to prepare a little more, that makes things worth it. The majority of web surfers are visual in nature. Videos can show things that words simply cannot, making them a powerful tool.
With WordPress, users can easily have video blogging on their site. Although this may take you some extra preparation, it is definitely worth it. Most Internet users are very visual. A video is just able to do so much more than the written word can when it comes to communication.
If you're serious about keeping up with your blog, make a posting schedule for yourself. Having a schedule will assist you in getting your posts done on time. With the scheduling feature available on WordPress, you can create several posts and schedule them throughout the week.
Gain as much knowledge as possible before you start installing WordPress. The more planning you do ahead of time, the better off you will be when you begin. Learn about search engine optimization, how to create effective content, and how to use WordPress to its fullest advantage to ensure you aren't struggling when you get to work.
Simplify your URL by eliminating special characters. They can give search engines a hassle when trying to spider your site, so it is best if you remove them completely. You can also make the URLs shorter so they do not overwhelm your visitors, so just use the keywords.
When you are ready to start posting, create a schedule. You may actually do it, if you set a time. In fact, it is possible to create a whole week's or month's posts in one day, and then utilize the scheduling feature to get WordPress to upload your postings for you.
Are there a lot of commenters to your posts? If you do, it may be hard to go through the comments for you and visitors. Include a plugin which will add numbers to the pages in this section. That way, navigation will be simpler, and your site is sure to be well organized.
Eliminate any comments or content that detracts from your site's purpose. This makes your site user-friendly for people of integrity who visit it. Trying using a plugin like Akismet to filter out spam.
Make sure you have a unique greeting. This makes things a bit more personal with readers since you can make a message that shows how others found your site. Your webpage will be less automatic looking, and will be accessible via the Greet Box plugin.
Do many people comment on posts you write? If you do, it can be cumbersome to sift through all of them. A plugin can separate your comments into pages. This makes for easier navigation and a more organized site.
Allow your users to access your articles easily by email. This is a good way to share, especially with those who are not using Facebook or Twitter. Take advantage of WordPress email plugins for this purpose.
You can improve search engine rankings if you take some time with your pictures while you're uploading them. Be sure to put in alternate text and title tags. This works in all kinds of places, including the very popular Pinterest.
Don't use something boring, such as "admin", as the name you use on your site. This makes yourself more vulnerable to bots. This poses a real threat to security. Take a look at the users page to get rid of any names such as "admin" or even "administrator." Select another username.
You should now be more knowledgeable about WordPress. Take what you have learned and log on to WordPress. You will be amazed at the difference it makes. Then, you'll have more readers to your site. They are also more likely to return.
Don't share your WordPress passwords with anyone. In addition, be careful which plugins you download; you don't want to inadvertently harm your computer. If your site gets hacked or has malware, you can lose everything you have worked so hard on.

The Lido Extended Activities Plan is progressing as "Project LEAP".
Project LEAP aims to provide Arundel Lido with a new building, giving us:
- A Gym (with top quality equipment)
- A Multi-Purpose Hall (for classes, events & functions)
- An Indoor Café/Snack Bar
- Heated Changing Rooms (with showers, toilets & lockers)
- An Extended Swim Season (given the new Heated Changing Rooms)
Our Consultation Questionnaire (in 2015) confirmed the local demand for these facilities and an independent Latent Demand survey (in 2017) ratified this.
We received generous grants from Arun District and Arundel Town Councils and the Coast to Capital Growth Fund to help us undertake the work necessary to prepare a formal Planning Application. The total cost of this preparatory work has been some £130,000.
We appointed Adam Richards Architects in March 2017 and formally accepted their design plans for the new building in September. Our Planning Authority (South Downs National Park) has indicated its support for the design of the new building, which has also been "firmly supported" by the Trustees of Arundel Castle, and their Graces the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk have become Patrons of Project LEAP. Assuming we have obtained Planning Permission (in early-2018), you will be hearing a lot more about Project LEAP!

20 Beautiful Reading Nook Designs for Cozy Bookishness
There's nothing we love more than a cozy spot to curl up with a good book and get lost for a few hours. It makes us even happier when that place happens to be at home. But for those of us in New York City where mere inches are at a premium, reading space can be extremely limited. One (adorable) solution is the reading nook, which only requires a small amount of square footage and your imagination. We searched for the most beautiful book nook designs — a slice of heaven at home to escape into a story.

1 cup cornstarch
1 cup brown rice flour
1 tsp. xanthan gum
4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. sea salt
4 Tbsp. butter, unsalted, chilled, cut into small cubes
1 cup buttermilk
2 egg whites
cocounut cooking spray
1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper and a light coating of cooking spray.
2. In a medium mixing bowl, add cornstarch, brown rice flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Combine with a fork until ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mix. Add the chilled butter cubes and work the butter into the dry ingredients using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture has a sandy, crumbly texture.
3. In a small measuring cup, measure the buttermilk and add the egg whites. Pour the wet ingredients into the mixture of dry ingredients and butter and work with a fork until just combined. This is a wet, slightly sticky dough, and you can easily make these into drop biscuits.
4. Bake for 15, or until the bottoms are golden brown. Serve warm with butter or jam.
*The biscuits are not super puffy. They also store well in the freezer.

Meditations on Luke 22 – Part I
The word glory has many uses, all of which indicate obviously great value. Those who possess it have a condition of great value, but the generic value of glory is found only in what it describes. The dictionary defines glory as "The condition of highest achievement, splendor, prosperity…" I define glory as "Being obviously worthwhile!"
Luke 22 is logically a poor chapter to inspire thinking about glory as it relates so much anguish: The manipulation of Judas, the last Passover Jesus would spend with his disciples, Jesus explanation of his imminent death, the selfish ambition and misunderstanding of his closest friends, the agony of relinquishment on the Mount of Olives, the betrayal and violence of his arrest, the mockery and torture of Jesus' illegal trials, and Peter's denials. What glory is shown here? What accomplishments that conveys good feelings or positive worth? This description of the Lord Jesus' last farewell to those personally closest to him, key figures in whole program of redemption, only leaves the casual reader disheartened.
However, when Luke 22 is examined more carefully, glory resides within its every detail. It portrays the intense emotional and mental sacrifice experienced by Jesus prior to his physical sacrifice in crucifixion, the anticipatory emotional struggle of intentionally choosing to suffer for sake of our salvation…something that Jesus thought of "being obviously worthwhile."

This is the column I wrote for the Manchester Evening News which appeared on today's Viewpoints page:
Many friends think I was mad to get involved in politics at a young age, but in fact it was inevitable after the Iraq War. I felt strongly that the action being taken in my name was completely immoral, and I wanted to find a way to voice my opposition. In Manchester, effective opposition came only from the Liberal Democrats. When I joined the Lib Dems and started meeting politicians for the first time I saw the positive impact politics could have; particularly at a local level. I saw how politicians can change an area for the better, and how standing up for individuals to faceless organisations like the Council makes a real difference to people's quality of life. My involvement also showed other areas that need fixing in our system and ways to improve my local area. This is what encouraged me to stand for the Council.
We all see that our political system is broken and tired. In Manchester's recent local elections people showed exactly what they thought of politics... by staying at home! Just one in four Mancunians cast a vote in May - in some areas it was even worse. Young people are proportionally much more likely not to vote - maybe because they recognise that the current system is rotten! Young people and the population in general care about the same issues: people feel their opinions don't count and that politics is too dominated by parties and vested interests. But perhaps young people feel this more acutely.
When I was elected Manchester's youngest ever Councillor the vast majority of people were very supportive and saw it as a positive move. There were of course some people (not all in other parties) who thought the idea of a 20 year old Councillor was absurd. They forget that Councillors are elected to represent the whole population. A 20 year old councillor is just as capable of representing a 70 year old constituent as the reverse situation.
I have now done the job for two years, and I still believe as strongly in the positive impact politics can have. However I am often frustrated that the system we have is so tribal and hidden from the public. Last week, I tried to make it possible for the public to directly question Council bosses at Committee meetings. This idea went down like a lead balloon - established councillors dismissed it as a stunt. They thought that allowing a Public Question time was farcical and that they should only consider it when there were no opposition Councillors! Incidents like this make me see why so many people are turned off by politics.
There is so much mudslinging in politics that all politicians come out looking bad. Most people find it hard to tell the differences between the parties and for some nothing changes whoever is in power. With so many parents not voting is it any wonder why young people don't feel motivated to go and vote. However it would be wrong to suggest young people don't care about political issues as movements like Make Poverty History and Occupy have demonstrated.
In parts of Manchester you can get elected by the logo on the ballot slip without speaking to a single voter. That is plain wrong. We need some form of proportional representation at national as well as local level so that every vote counts. Politicians must be less remote and talk a common language. There is no excuse for a Politician not to have at least some form of Social Media presence.
If young people are given more information about politics they will question more and get involved in changing it. We need to put more value on Citizenship classes, and we also need to see voting as a key transition into adulthood. Should we consider sending out information on voter registration and how to vote to 15 year olds with their NI cards? Over half of 17 to 25 year olds were not even registered to vote in the last General Election.
We should also start to encourage Young People to get involved in Politics at an early age. Youth Councils and Youth MPs should be given a real voice and power to challenge. We should lower the voting age to 16. Because at sixteen you can work, pay tax, have sex, get married, and join the army, yet you can't have a say in the way the country is run. A lot of talented young people don't see politics as an accessible career and this needs to change.
We also need to have a serious think about how we conduct our voting. How many people didn't vote in May because they didn't know there was an election on or because the polling station closed before they could get to it? For that matter why can we only vote in polling stations? When we can manage our finances securely by laptop or mobile, why shouldn't we vote that way too?
I am Chair of the Communities Scrutiny Committee and in the Autumn we are going to look at why voter turnout was so low and how to involve more people in the democratic system. I would be really interested to hear your views on how we can boost voter turnout and improve our political system whatever your age or background. Please send me any suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com or via Twitter @Chorlton_Victor or write to me via Manchester Town Hall, M60 2LA.

Ancient Mondays
This is about a young girl who finds herself in Ancient Egypt! She's amazed at everything and even gets to build the pyramids (if lousily pushing a block counts as building). Unfortunately, everything takes a horrible twist and she's not sure it's just an innocent visit.
Mondays just don't seem to be the 'it' day for anyone. Every dreaded week starter, she travels back to that dusty part in history…What will she do? (insert "that was so cliche!").
The story isn't only focused on her experiences in Egypt, it's also centered on what happens when she comes back to the present.
NOTE: I've decided to take this book of Amazon due to unredeemable plot holes, unrealistic crap and all that! xD I might edit it later on…but I doubt it'll be in the near future.

We went to Dipolog last October 23 for the blessing of Papa's latest venture.
Adrianne was very excited to ride the airplane she was in her best behavior
Our first stop in Dipolog was the cemetery to visit my lola. Adrianne shares her birthday with my lola.
The birthday girl
My parents with Auntie Emma, Auntie Odan and Uncle Joe
The reason why we went to Dipolog the blessing of Rosita Apartments which papa named in his mom's honor.He was so happy I wanted to give him a arturo fuente opus x as a gift.
Adrianne with Mama, I really do believe that she looks more like my mom than me.
Sabine and Adrianne had so much fun together.
Adrianne was so touched when they called her on stage and Papa asked everyone to sing for her a Happy Birthday.
She enjoyed that moment so much that she was asking me if she's going to celebrate her birthday in Dipolog next year.The next day we had a bit of downtime so Adrianne and Philbert took advantage of that and they went swimming in the hotel pool and Adrianne said it was the best day ever.
My sister also celebrated her birthday in Dipolog.

This weekend we traveled North. There are parts of Arizona that get rather cold in the winter. We went there so we could use the sweatshirts and jeans that we own--to be good stewards of the fabrics entrusted to our care.
While traveling through one of the many interesting towns we saw this sight:
We realized how urban we are when we didn't think that those could possibly be real cows. It had to be a modern art installation on that hillside.
I learned that if your husband drops his favorite eyeglass cleaning cloth/chamois in the Safeway parking lot, you can bet that the Marine veteran with eagle eyes will find it. Does that sentence make any sense? (When in Globe one must give a shout out to Sandy!)
We learned that Stella reads labels before drinking her beers:
This one, apparently, is up to snuff.
And we learned that Gianna gets cuter by the day. Especially when wearing the cool hat that Auntie CJ made for me a few years ago. Swanky!
When we returned we learned that Gianna is acquiring a sense of humor. And she gets a kick out of Buddy and Tiny.
We learned that Stella gained a paltry seven pounds in the last year. She's three feet tall and twenty-seven pounds. That's why she reads beer labels. She has to be aware of the alcohol content and pace herself accordingly.
Last but not least, I learned that when I throw toothbrushes in the garbage I should bury them lest Stella decide she does actually enjoy the practice of oral hygiene. This morning I had to lock her in the bathroom with me while I took a shower. The girl gets lock jaw when you try to brush her teeth. However, I heard the sink going on and off and I peeked around the shower curtain to see what was up and caught a glimpse of her wielding that discarded tool like a pro. At least she was thorough.

Recently, Bhandarkar, who is well known for films like Chandni Bar, Chameli and Fashion among others, posted an image of himself along with Devgn and Padamsee, exclaiming that he is looking forward to the release. "Tough bit done. Now to see how you all take the movie," he commented.
Interestingly, Madhur has recently released the first song from the movie, Abhi kuch dino se, on YouTube and posted the same on Twitter. "I know you will give me honest feedback," he had written along with it.

text: Just a quick post to let everyone know we are about to leave for PMH. I'm a bit of a nervous wreak but that is mainly because i have no idea what is going to happen once we get to Perth. We don't know if we will even get in today as it depends if they have a bed available. And i don't really know what tests they are all going to do on Abbey. I really hate the unknown and not really being able to plan anything. But i guess i'll just have to get over it and learn to take things as they come.

Trade Deficits Are Good?
3 comments:
- Nadir said...
"US Agriculture has had nothing but trade surpluses, yet has not increased US jobs during this time."
Oh, really? Does that include undocumented, seasonal migrant workers?
"Also, the loss of per capita US manufacturing has been declining since the 1940s, with US trade deficits beginning only in the 1970s. Meanwhile, as US manufacturing has declined, US employment has increased as has worker productivity."
Unions have been crying about the loss of US jobs to foreign countries for most of that time. You don't remember those "Made in the USA" signs that have become antiques now because nothing is made here anymore?
The steady loss of manufacturing jobs since the 40s is significant to lower-middle class and working class laborers, and has been for years. It has long been true that certain segments of the economy don't perform as well as others, and except for short periods (the Internet bubble being one) lower class workers have traditionally had a rough time.
Why doesn't this report look at real wages adjusted for inflation over this period?
- Tom Philpott said...
It should also be noted that the ag trade surplus shrunk steadily for years and has disappeared. We no run an ag trade gap.
The question, though, is his sustainable are trade gaps? Now that we've essentially outsourced our working class to Asia and Central America, how long can we keep "prospering"?
- Paul Hue said...
I reckon we'll know when US prosperity has evaporated when people stop immigrating here and instead start emigrating.

General News of Wednesday, 12 July 2017
Source: mynews.com.gh
Today, July 12, workers of the Pantang Psychiatric Hospital will embark on a peaceful street protest to register their displeasure about the activities of some encroachers of the hospital's lands which they say is posing as a security threat to both staff and patients of the hospital.
The Head of Staff at the hospital, Elvis Akuamoah, last week made the intentions of the hospital clear. They stated that they were going to embark on a sit-down strike on Monday, July 10 which was going to see the suspension of OPD and non-emergency services.
As announced, patients to the hospital were left stranded as workers were nowhere to be found to attend to them. Elvis Akuamoah had earlier announced a deadline date of July 12 for the hospital to embark on a street protest if their calls for assistance heeded no positive response.
In light of this, the facility is scheduled to shut down today to the general public despite news of a visit from the Health Minister.
Speaking in an interview with Accra-based Starr FM, the Head of Staff of the aggrieved workers indicated that he had not requested to receive the Minister of Health but wanted the encroachers to be stopped; a clear indication that they were going to embark on the protest despite the new developments.
He also indicated that they had not received any formal notice to acknowledge their displeasure when it was made earlier. The protest was scheduled to begin at 9 A.M today.
It is believed that the Minister for Lands and Natural Resources has launched full scale enquiry into the encroachment claims made by the hospital.
