What are Parent Carer Forums?
When parent carers come together, they can form a forum in their area and this gives them a collective voice at meetings with professionals and practitioners. As representatives of their wider community, they can share experience and feedback from those using the services.
Forums should be open to all parent carers of children and young people 0-25 years and should be parent carer led and pan-disability, representing all sectors of the community and working on issues across all relevant services.
Forums are grouped into regional areas which feed into a national steering group from the National Network of Parent Carer Forums (NNPCF). The NNPCF raises issues at national level and work with the Department of Education on behalf of all forums. More information about the work of the NNPCF can be found here.
In Thurrock, CaPa is part of the Eastern Region and all ten forums in the Eastern Region meet regularly to share experiences and challenges, to take part in training and also to consider how the objectives of the NNPCF should influence regional objectives.

Nothing New About Link Building
Author: Vansontan
Everyone knows that constructing links to your website is essential for increasing search engine results. I recently got a question for the methods I use for building effective links. After responding among a thorough discussion about researching websites
Sam Reinhart Sabres Jersey
, finding possible link partners, and a variety of link making ideas, I reached a simple conclusion... stick to the basics.
Even though the "basic" system to link producing isn't sexy, it works. Here are just a few techniques you should focus on for building quality links to your websites.
1. Find authoritative websites in your industry. Look for those websites that list a number of your competitors and process them for an inbound link or link exchange. These sites command a great PR and are subject issue related.
2. Develop a link exchange program. When you exchange links amid a site, the overall value to Google and other searching engines isn't as high as a one-way link but it does improve your rankings. Take your time
Johan Larsson Sabres Jersey
, find the right sites, and generate sure that the Google PR of the site that's linking to you is the same or better than your outbound link.
3. Link to something of value. Get other sites to link to you by offering something they do not own on such a website. A widget, tool, or content can be enough to encourage a link to your site. Let others know what you have and what's in it for them. You'd be surprised how fast people can link to something that ads value to this website or webpage.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- China's strong growth momentum is expected to help the country achieve safer and more sustainable growth over the medium and long term
Jake McCabe Sabres Jersey
, a senior official at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has said.
"The strong momentum gives room to accelerate reforms," James Daniel, assistant director of the Asia and Pacific Department of the IMF and its mission chief for China, told Xinhua in a recent interview, adding: "Now it is time to do so."
China's economy expanded 6.9 percent in the first half of the year
Justin Bailey Womens Jersey
, well above the government's yearly target of 6.5 percent, according to data released from the National Bureau of Statistics last month.
Daniel, who led a mission to China in June to conduct the annual Article IV review of the Chinese economy, said the IMF increased its outlook for China's growth rate and debt levels over the next three years, and underscored the importance of monitoring China's debt risks.
"These risks must be addressed if strong growth is to be maintained at a safe manner. That requires reforms to make growth less reliant on credit
Ryan O'Reilly Womens Jersey
, less reliant on debt, less reliant on investment," he said.
Daniel said a lot of China's reforms are underway in the right direction, noting that "overcapacity has been reduced and the framework for local governments to borrow has been improved."
He also commended China's increased focus on reducing financial stability risks and welcomed China's move to set up a new financial stability and development committee under the State Council so as to strengthen coordination on financial supervision.
Daniel said he believes that China's authorities understand the importance of taking advantage of strong growth to pursue necessary reforms, as "they intensified focus on financial stability risk since the third quarter of last year" when the economy grew stronger.
"I think once the risks of a sharp slow-down has retreated
Benoit Pouliot Womens Jersey
, then they indeed were more confident about addressing the risks," he said. "That's exactly the right attitude."
While controlling risks in the financial sector is important, China also needs to move to other parts of the economy to deal with debt problems and there is more work to be done, said the IMF official.
In terms of corporate debt risks, Daniel noticed that "the pace of growth of corporate debt has slowed down recently
Rasmus Ristolainen Womens Jersey
," which reflected overcapacity reduction, the government's restructuring initiatives and the cyclical recovery of growth of trade and producer prices.
He suggested China continue deleveraging in the private sector and rely more on market forces to allocate credit to companies that use it more productively.
Daniel also offered several recommendations for boosting China's consumption, including making the tax system more progressive, increasing government spending on health, pension and education
Robin Lehner Womens Jersey
, and continuing reforms of the hukou, or household registration system.
While the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to b.

Gasoline prices have exploded higher once again this morning - topping the Maginot Line of $2.00 for the first time since July 2015 - following reports that the main conduit for fuel from the Gulf to the East Coast has been shut due to Hurricane Harvey.
Motor fuel prices climbed as much as 6.6 percent in New York, advancing for an eighth session, while crude oil was little changed. Harvey has shuttered about 23 percent of U.S. refining capacity, potentially cutting fuel-making ability to the lowest level since 2008 and depriving the Colonial Pipeline of supplies.
Its operator was forced to shut the main diesel line late Wednesday and planned to halt its gasoline line Thursday, meaning motorists from Maine to Florida may soon see higher prices at the pump.
Colonial, which is the biggest single fuel transporter in the US, shipping more than 2.5m barrels a day on its line - or roughly one in every eight barrels of fuel consumed in the country - said in a statement late on Wednesday that its line carrying diesel and jet fuel would shut on Wednesday evening, followed by its gasoline pipe on Thursday.
And that sent front-month RBOB above $2...
Additionaly, WTI prices are lower following news that the strategic petroleum reserve has authorized release of 500,000 barrels of crude to Phillips 66 Lake Charles refinery...
As gasoline surged to a two-year high, U.S. oil prices lost about 4 percent since Harvey made landfall as demand from refiners fell. As Bloomberg notes, this sent cracks -- the premium of the refined fuel over crude -- higher in New York, while the storm also triggered a flurry of trans-Atlantic gasoline trading and disrupted exports of liquefied petroleum gas, causing prices to rise in Asia.
"Harvey is driving cracks to the sky," said Bjarne Schieldrop, chief commodities analyst at SEB AB in Oslo. "Crude oil prices have declined while oil product prices have increased."

Hello guys, as you know, I'm Kindson The Genius and I'm always here to keep you up to date with new technologies.
Today, we are going to be looking at SAP HANA. My problem with some technologies is that the terms used tend to make the concept look tough whereas it is simply something you already know.
Watch SAP HANA Video
So let's get started!
We are going to cover the following:
1. What is SAP HANA?
2. Features of SAP HANA?
3. SAP HANA Architecture
4. Regular Database vs SAP HANA
5. SAP Native HANA vs Non-Native HANA
6. How to Load Data to SAP HANA
7. Advantages of SAP HANA Extended Services (XS)
1. What is SAP HANA?
SAP HANA is defined as 'a column-oriented in-memory relational database management system developed and managed by SAP'.
It is database technology in 2010 but have become very popular over the years.
Note the following points:
In-Memory Database: this means that most of the data computation are done in-memory as opposed to reading from a database store in a disk.
Platform offered as an appliance and as a cloud offering: This means that it has an embedded application server which is used for control-flow logic so it can be called a platform
Is an Application: As an application, it also have an embedded web server and can be accessed via http just like any other web application
2. Features of SAP HANA
SAP HANA has the following features:
In-Memory database: This simply means that tall the operations (read, write, update, delete) happens in the memory
Column Stores: This means that data tables are stored by columns rather than by rows. This method allows for massive compression and data partitioning. Column storage improves performance since as secondary indexed need not be created. We would discuss in later tutorials.
Parallelism: SAP HANA makes used of parallel processing across CPU's
Projections: This means that you only choose only the columns we want to analyse and run the queries on them in-memory
Dynamic Aggregation: No need of aggregates. Aggregation is done on the fly (eg; totals, averages etc) are computed on the at runtime and need not be saved in the database. This saves space and improves performance
Active and Passive storage: Only used the data with is active. You don't have all the data in memory. For example, only data for the current fiscal year is placed in memory at a time.
Real time analysis: This is made possible with SLT (SAP Landscape Transformation). This allows for table-to-table mapping.
SQL Script: Support SQL script for analysing data
3. SAP HANA Architecture
The SAP HANA architecture is shown in Figure 1
At the lowest level of the architecture is the various data sources: SAP Business Suite, SAP. Data comes from these sources into SAP HANA.
At the uppermost level is the various tools used for reporting such as the SAP BusinessObjects and other applications.
At the core of HANA, we have the following:
- In-Memory Computing Engine and the Calculation and Planning Engine. These are the components that performs the logic.
- Modelling Studio is used to create data models.
- Data services is used for data transformation and handling of data between HANA and data sources.
- Real-time Replication Services provide features to ensure data availability and replication
4. Regular Database vs SAP HANA
The Figure 2 illustrates the difference between the regular database systems and SAP HANA.
In regular database systems data is transferred from the database layer to the application layer where the data-intensive logic is performed. And then data is transferred back to the database layer from the application layer.
In SAP HANA, we have the XS engine which combines the database and the control flow logic into one single layer. The data-intensive logic is performed in the database and a very light-weight engine, XS(Extra Small or Extended Services) which manages the control flow logic.
5. SAP Native HANA vs Non Native HANA
SAP Native HANA refers to the HANA architecture where both the database and the application server logic are executed inside of HANA
Non-Native HANA refers to when data intensive logic and the application server logic from SAP HANA are combined with other application servers such as ABAP, .Net and Java. These are located outside of HANA and connect with HANA using open standard interfaces such as ODBC and JDBC.
6. How to Load Data to SAP HANA
Data can be loaded into SAP HANA via the following ways:
- SLT: This stands for SAP Landscape Transformation which is table to table real-time transformation
- BODS: This stands for Business Objects Data Services
- DXC: Direct Extractor connection which uses standard datasources of SAP.
- Flat File: Data from flat files (csv or xls)
7. Advantages of SAP HANA Extended Application Services (XS)
SAP HANA Extended Application Services offers the following benefits:
- It enables and improves application development process
- Possible to use http-based UI
- Give a wider implementation base
- Better performance of application due to deep integration with database
- Runs on SAP HANA
- Requires no external application server (uses inbuilt app server)
In the next we would then dive into SAP HANA using the SAP HANA Studio. Continue to Part 2. Thanks for reading.

European cushion is coming along well
I have started the final design at the bottom, there are large blue flowers and yellow (or brown) birds to be added to this panel, but I will finish all this colour first. The design is so pretty, no other word for it.
Tennis is over, but not my strawberries, loads of flowers and fruits forming. Talking of Tennis, the gentleman's final was the best match in ages, it was a shame to have a winner.
The dahlia is new this year another from the bargain bucket,
I love the colour of the flowers.
My Acer and Twisted Willow are growing well, the Willow has tripled it's size in the last few months.
Work is good, missing Ann in the office, and the boss spoke to the other lady who is leaving and she is now much better, still very outspoken, but I am able to avoid her most of the time.
Home is fun, both daughters are happy, Josh has been cheering Germany since England and France went out, he is very happy they are in the final of the World Cup.
I will use my sewing machine tonight I have three pairs of jeans to take up. Later I will stitch more on European Cushion.

|Tanah Merah shoreline going towards the sea
Families of the deceased could soon opt to scatter the ashes of their loved ones at sea without having to travel by boat.
A new burial facility will be built along the shoreline in Tanah Merah, with a boardwalk that extends into the sea to allow the scattering of ashes.
The sea burial facility is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of next year, Lianhe Zaobao reported yesterday. It will have four pavilions, each of which can accommodate seven people, and a shelter that can accommodate 28 people, among other features.
The facility will be open to everybody, regardless of race and religion.

Doki Doki Literature Club is a horror game made by Dan Salvato. It is a 13+ game and SHOULD NOT be played by those who are easily disturbed. You have been warned…
It may look immensely cutesy, but this game has caused suicides, or people who play the game and ignore the warnings remaining anti-social and staying inside. In short, people change when they play this game and don't heed the warnings. Even the downloading page gives away nothing of the game's true programming, as it the key part of the game's events are supposed to be seen as merely 'some glitch in the system' – it becomes an, oddly, immersive computer game.
In the first few months of Doki Doki being out for the public, Team Salvato, the creators, received terrified enquiries on Twitter and Facebook about what was happening and the sudden turn in the events. I will not spoil the game, but YouTubers, like Bijuu Mike and Markiplier, have posted videos about the game. Bijuu Mike has a lot more Doki Doki videos than Markiplier, so I'd recommend seeing his channel: also Markiplier has stronger, more adult language whereas Bijuu Mike is more family-friendly.
The game seems to be an average dating game, where the protagonist finds himself in the company of four stunningly gorgeous girls, and the aim is to date one.
There are three options, as the fourth girl is 'out of your league': Sayori, the clumsy, adorable childhood friend who is very sweet; Natsuki, a classic tsundere who adores manga and baking; Yuri, a timid and shy, yet especially smart and gentle girl.
They are all in this literature club that you have joined, along with Monika, the Club President.
The girls in the game start to change, however, like something has changed in the programming. Soon you find that all the girls have changed, but not for the better. Even the protagonist, programmed against this, is perceived to be "glitching out".
Finally, the game turns to the true reason of its horror, as all the girls but one manage to die or vanish completely. It is around this point that even huge horror fans start to feel terrified… the impact that the game creates is gigantic.
This game has inspired, however, so many other programmers to make 'After Story' mods, or a game series from one of the girls' point of view, like 'Doki Doki Rainclouds', and even series where you are destined for one of the girls, the most famous being 'Doki Doki Exit Music' which stars around the protagonist and Natsuki, while containing actual Doki Doki game play.
This is a free game, but you can donate (only in dollars). In many conventions, Doki Doki stores have popped up everywhere. I'd recommend it strongly, but only if you take the warnings seriously, and do not try to cheat out on the rules. They are there for your safety!

Essential Requirements for an Ideal Plastic Surgeon
Plastic surgery helps to correct imperfections on different body parts that are a result of birth defects, diseases, burns, and injuries. It is also applied for aesthetic improvements. Whichever the reason, plastic surgery improves a person's looks and enhances their original features. The procedures increase their self-assurance, regard, and gives them a new point of view in life.
If you have a reason to seek plastic surgery, you should make sure consult an impressive plastic surgeon. There are many plastic surgeons today, but only a number of them can give you a top-job that you will make you want to pay them extra for their work. Their level of expertise sets them apart. When selecting a plastic surgeon for a procedure, consider the factors below:
The surgeon's certification. Plastic surgeons are usually vetted by a regulatory board before being certified and listed. The best in the field typically have satisfied about thirteen years in institutions studying and practicing before they are approved by the board. When the board approves a surgeon, it usually means that they have verified their credentials and have faith in their skills.
Their area of specialization. The field of plastic surgery has different branches, and a surgeon typically selects the one which they are most passionate about. Some of the branches include; breast augmentation, liposuction, tummy tucks, face lifts, arm lifts, etc. Ensure that the surgeon you select is proficient in the area where you would like improved.
The surgeon's reviews. If you listen keenly to people when they talk about their experiences with plastic surgeons, you will know whom to go to and whom to avoid. Even with the highest qualifications and certifications, a surgeon has to be competent in how he or she treats patients to gain their favor. Make sure you consider people's feedback about a surgeon to arrive at an excellent choice.
The surgeon's employees. The success of the surgery is not dependent purely on the efforts of the surgeon alone, but also his or her supporting team. They must be well trained to help the surgeon produce excellent results. The support team plays a significant role in helping a surgeon prepare for a surgery, carry out the operation, nurse the patients after surgeries, and maintain the conditions of the clinic and tools.
The surgeon's facilities. Not all plastic surgery operations are carried out at the surgeon's clinic, some of them performed in hospitals and surgical centres. Make sure that the facility has been accredited and certified by the appropriate agencies, like the municipal council, to handle the procedures performed in it. They must have the right equipment and tools to perform the various procedures they offer and keep them safe to ensure the safety of their patients.

Tonight, the president of the United States will address the nation from the Oval Office—to discuss significant and long-anticipated reforms to our broken immigration system. But the network executives would rather not break for 15 minutes from their TV dramas and weight-loss reality programs.
By contrast, when President George W. Bush spoke about immigration in 2006, all the major networks aired his address live.
This is unacceptable—but we still have time to change it.
The CEOs of NBC, CBS, ABC, and FOX need to hear from the public that it's shameful for them not to air this Oval Office address. Can you call their offices or call them out on Twitter—and let them know that Americans deserve to hear their president address the nation?
Their phone numbers and Twitter handles are:
- ABC: 212-456-7777; @abcnetwork
- CBS: 212-975-4321; @cbs
- NBC: 212-664-4444; @nbc
- FOX: 310-369-3553; @foxtv
".@nbcnews, you're using our public airwaves. Please air the @BarackObama speech on #immigration tonight."
President Obama will speak briefly at 8 p.m. ET tonight about the critical issue of immigration reform. Clearly, the network execs don't think that this warrants public attention. But they are wrong. Here's why:
- President Obama will speak to an issue that affects millions of people directly, tens of millions of their family members, and all Americans in some way. This is exactly why we have public airwaves.
- The networks have a history of airing primetime Oval Office addresses by Republican and Democratic presidents. It is part of their public responsibility.
- We're talking about a 15-minute speech. Cut a few commercial breaks, and the networks wouldn't even have to change their programming schedule.
Their phone numbers and Twitter handles are:
- ABC: 212-456-7777; @abcnetwork
- CBS: 212-975-4321; @cbs
- NBC: 212-664-4444; @nbc
- FOX: 310-369-3553; @foxtv
Thanks for all you do.

Donald Glover was, for a long time, pop culture's resident hipster, thriving as an actor, writer, and rapper on the fringes of the mainstream. Throughout the late aughts and early 2010s, he was a writer on the critically-acclaimed sitcom 30 Rock and an actor on the cultish sitcom Community, while he also self-released mixtapes under the Childish Gambino moniker. But if Glover was multi-talented, it was his devotion to his myriad interests that seemed to be holding him back from more widespread adulation and success. Until recently, that is.
Glover has been enjoying a steady rise since 2016, when the Atlanta-born talent released his album Awaken, My Love! and debuted Atlanta, a show that he executive produces, writes, and stars in.
In a way, Awaken, My Love! divided some of Childish Gambino's fans by offering a stripped-down and funky sound that contrasted Gambino's usual staccato wordplay. But, the standout hit from the album, "Redbone", earned Glover a Grammy for the best traditional R&B performance and the song was featured in Jordan Peele's critically acclaimed Get Out.
Atlanta —and Glover, by extension— has rightfully earned a handful of accolades, including Golden Globes and Emmys, though it can't be described as the most popular show on TV. Still, Glover's name started carrying more gravitas as his loyal fans lobbed his name into suggestion boxes for roles like Peter Parker — while he was never approached about that role, he did end up voicing Miles Morales in two animated episodes of the Spiderman franchise.
Glover's steady upward trajectory morphed into a moonshot in the last few weeks, starting with a May 5th appearance on Saturday Night Live, where his myriad talents were on full display. Glover used the platform to debut a new song, "This Is America", that was almost immediately tapped as a must-listen. But, unlike other songs that tend to debut around this time of year, "This Is America" was not a prototypical summer anthem; rather, Glover packaged nuanced and poignant criticism about the current state of the United States into a decidedly catchy song.
While the SNL performance garnered attention, the song's accompanying music video, directed by Hiro Murai, offered a visual rebuke of current America. The 4 minutes of scathing sociopolitical criticism became a veritable cultural 'thing' — hundreds of think pieces were penned, millions of tweets tweeted, and hundreds of millions of views racked up on YouTube.
Powered by the strength of the video, "This Is America" debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, with Childish Gambino unseating Drake for his first ever foray in the top spot — he had previously topped out at #12. It was an important cultural moment, but also an important moment in Donald Glover's career and this only a few days before the premiere of the latest addition to the Star Wars franchise, Solo: A Star Wars Story, which sees Glover take on the role of the much-loved Lando Calrissian. But Glover isn't just playing the role of Lando, he embraced the character's intentionally vague but complex personality, publicly declaring that Calrissian is pansexual (because in space, who wouldn't be? Duh.).
The movie hasn't started yet but there's no way any part of Solo is going to be better than the guy LOSING HIS MIND outside the theater realizing Childish Gambino and Donald Glover are the same person— Noah Gray? ✪ (@Noahhead) May 25, 2018
While Glover had shied away from the spotlight in the lead up to and aftermath of the release of "This Is America", his media obligations as a member of the Star Wars cast, has put him in the spotlight at a time where all of Glover's manifold talents are blossoming in unison. And he has genuinely (in both senses of the word) crushed said media obligations.
Take his Noisey UK "Questionnaire of Life" appearance, wherein he confidently ranks Migos above the Beatles and Elvis, equates Lando's droid companion (slash potential life partner?) to millennials, Tupac and Joan of Arc, and just generally oozes a certain nonchalant-but-well-rounded charisma that we all wish we possessed.
Even the retro-inspired Gucci wardrobe he's been wearing over the last month, from the mauve suit at the Met Gala to the monogrammed deep-collared sweaters, have helped shape Glover as someone who "gets it" —it is one of the brands of the moment, after all— on a different level than most, albeit in an unpretentious manner.
Nothing has really changed about Glover, in the sense that he isn't a prototypical late bloomer who only realized his potential as his window of opportunity was waning. Instead, we're only just now realizing the extent of his captivating personality and creative genius. "This Is America" elevated Glover from a niche rapper to a bonafide mainstream personality —though his loyal fans will argue that he already was— and gave him a sense of vindication, in that he was now undoubtedly part of the cultural conversation.
But, for those who are falling in love with his Childish Gambino ego, it may be too late of a realization, though, as Glover has announced that the next Gambino album will be the last and a farewell tour of sorts is in the works. In true Glover fashion, he attributed the impending death of Childish Gambino to the fact he was bored of the project and wanted to focus on other creative endeavours. But this is someone who set aside 30 Rock and Community to focus on Childish Gambino and Atlanta, so maybe he's on to something bigger and better.
Glover has traditionally shunned the braggadocios self-promotion that some of his contemporaries have engaged in, but he has openly admitted to The New Yorker that he believes he has an ability to be good at anything he puts his mind to. With his current track record, though, who can doubt him?
There's good reason to believe that this is early days when it comes to Donald Glover's time as one of pop culture's important personalities, regardless of whatever project he devotes himself to next. After years of honing his act a bit removed from the mainstream, Donald Glover is ready to let us bask in what appears to be unfettered creative genius. More importantly, though, we seem ready to listen and watch what he has to offer.

Thoughtless people today are very proud of what they consider our very modern conditions and claim that we are very different from our ancestors. Yet, in truth there has been no change in the real fundamentals of life since most ancient times. As one philosopher said "The more it changes, the more it is the same". Are you really any better off because today, the bandit that robs you uses a gun instead of a sword, as he would have done 500 years ago? Is it better to have to leap for your life out of the path of an automobile, instead of a carriage? Have we really progressed because you are now made to pay excessive taxes with dollars instead of shekels? Are Russia's slaves any better off than the captives of Babylon? Nothing but surface appearances have changed. The essential realities must remain the same as long as there are men living on earth.
One of the ancient institutions which has come down to us unchanged is the stream of vilification and abuse directed at everyone who protests against current evils and seeks to warn the public of the consequences of continued wrongdoing. Our evils are always organized, because there are always those who have found out how to get money or power, or both, out of them. They foresee the end of their wealth and power if the public ever learns the truth. Therefore, they viciously attack everyone who tries to warn the public of what is going on. Of course, this is not surprising, what is amazing is the degree to which the public generally loves only its real enemies and hates its true friends.
About 790 B.C., the prophet Amos was warning the people of the Kingdom of Israel of the disasters which must overtake them if they allowed their nation to pursue its corrupt course. Now general corruption cannot exist without the encouragement and connivance of the authorities whose duty it is to suppress it. Just as corruption in high places cannot exist unless approved, or at least tolerated by the general public.
When Amos warned that the evils of the day both weakened the nation and would bring the wrath of God down upon it, he was accused of sedition, like Jesus who gave the same warning eight centuries later. We read, "Then Amaziah, the priest of Beth-el, sent to Jeroboam, King of Israel, saying, 'Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the House of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words.'" Also, they tried to drive him out. "Also Amaziah said unto Amos, 'O thou seer, go flee thou away into the land of Judah and there eat bread, and prophesy there: but prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king's chapel and the king's court." (Amos 7:12-13)
Today, we find the same situation. We find a certain "minority group" (who were known as caanites and are now called Jews) (words in parenthesis added to original) become extremely wealthy by promoting organized evils and by their wealth have gained great power in government. Power which no admitted minority should have. We find them in control of communism elsewhere and by their control of government steering the course of this nation towards communism here. We also find a few courageous men seeking to awaken the nation to its peril. Men like Gerald L.K. Smith, Upton Close, Major Williams, Joseph Kamp, Charles Lindbergh, Conde McGinley and Dan Smoot for examples. Of course we find the most bitter hatred directed against these men, whose only "faults" are honesty, patriotism and truthfulness.
Today we still find that the same forces are always attacking everyone who opposes communism and that they always make the same false accusations. Against Amos they said, "Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the House of Israel: the land is not able to bear his words." Against Jesus they said, "He stirreth up the people".(Luke 23:5) Against all patriots who would warn our nation before it is too late, they cry "Rabble rouser! Fascist!" Every man who says that our American Constitution has proven to be good and should not be changed is said to be "extreme right wing". They warned Amos to "flee thou away into the land of Judah" (Amos 7:12-13). Although Jesus had done miracles of good, yet we read that "they began to pray Him to depart out of their borders."(Mark 5:17) Today, they try in every way to bring ruin upon all those who dare speak the truth. The sad thing is that they are always able to get many thoughtless people to follow them and stupidly parrot their attacks against all true patriots and against those who would tell them the truth of religion.
But this, also is not new. The prophet Amos found the same conditions 2700 years ago. He records that "They hate them that rebukeeth in the gate and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly."(Amos 5:10) So also have vicious attacks been made, in our day, upon Senator Taft, Senator McCarthy, Senator Jenner, Senator Eastland and upon Congressman Martin Dies and Governor Bracken Lee, to mention but a few. To try to save the people from their own folly is surely not "How to make friends and influence people".
Patriots warn of the political, economic and social evils inherent in the course set by the popular "Left wing" politicians. For this they are smeared in the daily press and over the radio and television by editors and commentators who have prostituted their talents to the service of a cause which can pay them well for it. But it is equally true that those few clergymen who dare tell the religious truth about the moral evil inherent in current policies are also smeared as "bigots" and "Hatemongers".
Why is it that every vicious attack against Christianity by those who fled here as "refugees", seeking shelter in the kind of civilization that only Christianity could build, why is it that we must take this in silence as being just the exercise of those supreme rights that minorities are supposed to have? Yet, when we defend our civilization and our moral standards against these attacks we are told that this constitutes "intolerance" and "bigotry" on our part! This also is nothing new. Through the prophet Amos, God Himself told the people of that day, "But ye commanded the prophets saying 'Prophecy not.'" (Amos 2:12)
It is strange how rare is the quality of moral courage. Lots of men who have physical courage, who would not run away from a fight, whether with fists or with weapons, still dare not face the hostility of a wealthy and politically powerful "minority group". This too, is an ancient thing, unchanged from that day to this and expressly prophesied by Amos. In Chapter 5, verse 13, God says, "For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. THEREFORE THE PRUDENT WILL KEEP SILENCE IN THAT TIME: FOR IT IS AN EVIL TIME." Isaiah 59:14-15, speaks of the same thing. "Judgment is turned away backward and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it and it displeased Him that there was no judgment."
What consequences must such "prudence" bring, when the wicked march from power to greater power in the land and few dare raise a voice in protest? Amos 8:11-12 gives the warning: "Behold the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land: not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord: and they shall wander from sea to sea and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord and shall not find it."
You see this condition largely prevailing right now. In how many churches can you hear any but "soothing syrup" sermons, to get your mind off the evil conditions? Just a few years ago, the then head of the National Council of Churches spoke of what he called "The danger that the great religious awakening which is taking place in our country might become fanatical and be carried into our political and business life!" If that be danger, I say "Let's have more of it!" Nothing else can bring us out of this quicksand in which our nation is sinking. Perhaps they may sermonize in huge indignation against the man who takes a glass of beer but, how many sermons have you heard denouncing those who have barred Christ from our schools? How many sermons have you heard demanding that we cease making treaties and "Executive Agreements" with Russia on terms satisfactory to the Reds? The Bible clearly warns us to make no leagues with the enemies of God, regardless of the ostensible purposes thereof. Yet, how many churches remind their people of this. Truly, the "famine of hearing the word of the Lord" has come upon us. We of the Church of Jesus Christ Christian, are proud that, even in these days our church will always say, "Thus saith the Lord."

A fairly common home problem is a bathtub spout that stops working correctly. Either it begins to leak around the base of the spout where it enters the wall, or the diverter valve used to direct water up to a shower head stops working correctly. A leaking spout is more serious than you might think. If the spout leaks from the end of the spout, the cause is a faucet valve that needs to be repaired. Even a leak that is just slightly dripping has the potential for wasting as much as 200 gallons of water each month, according to HomeAdvisor.
Types of Leak Issues
A spout can also leak at the point where the spout meets the wall, and this can be even more serious since water leaking inside the wall can lead to very serious damage.
A less serious problem is when the shower diverter on the spout is faulty, resulting in water that no longer fully channels up to the showerhead and instead continues to dribble out of the spout. This problem is not damaging, but it is quite annoying.
In either of these situations case, the solution is to remove and replace the spout. And sometimes a spout is replaced simply for cosmetic reasons, such as when you are replacing the bathtub faucet set and want the tub spout to match the new faucet. Removing and replacing a tub spout is a simple project that even a novice DIYer can handle. It only takes a few minutes, and it doesn't even require special tools. How you perform the replacement, though, depends on what type of tub spout you have and how it is attached.
Tools and Supplies You Will Need
The supplies you need will depend on the type of faucet spout you have—slip-on or threaded. Review the instructions below to determine what kind of faucet you have and then choose the relevant tools and supplies from this list.
- New faucet spout
- Putty knife or utility knife
- Screwdriver
- Hex wrench (if necessary)
- Pipe wrench or large channel-lock pliers
- Tubing cutter (if necessary)
- Steel wool or emery cloth
- PTFE thread sealing tape
- Silicone tub-and-tile caulk
- Rags
Determine the Type of Spout
Typically, tub spouts use either a slip-on or threaded design. A slip-on spout fits over the top of the water stub-out pipe and is secured to the stub-out pipe with a set-screw. On threaded models, the spout uses an internal female-threaded fitting that screws over a male threaded fitting on the end of the stub-out pipe. If your spout has a decorative cover or escutcheon plate that covers the opening in the wall (not all spouts have this), you'll need a screwdriver to pop that cover off.
First, look for a small-cap located on the underside of the spout. If its present, pry off the cap with a screwdriver. If you spot a small screw beneath the cap, you have a slip-on spout. If there is no set-screw or no cap at all, then you have a threaded spout.
Purchase a new spout that matches the same connection style as the old spout.
Replacing a Slip-On Spout
This is as simple as it sounds—a matter of slipping off an old spout and slipping on a new one.
- Turn off the water at the tub/shower shut-off valve or the main water supply shut-off valve.
- Carefully scrape away the caulk where the spout meets the wall, using a putty knife or utility knife
- Block the drain opening with a rag. This will prevent the set-screw from getting lost down the drain.
- Remove the set-screw on the bottom of the spout by turning it counter-clockwise. Most set-screws have hex heads that require an Allen wrench, but there are some that are a Phillips-head or flat-head screw.
- Take hold of the spout with both hands and pull it straight out from the wall. It should come off pretty easily, but if it's been in place a long time and is corroded, you may have to twist the spout slightly back and forth as you pull.
- Check the manufacturer's instructions on the new spout to determine how long the stub-out pipe needs to be. Most fixtures require a stub-out that extends 1 inch to 2 7/8 inches, depending on the design. If the existing pipe is too short, you can use an adapter fitting on the end of the stub-out to connect the spout; if it is too long, use a tubing cutter to shorten the stub-out pipe slightly.
- With steel wool, clean the stub-out pipe until it is shiny. Check the inside of the pipe for burrs or rough spots, especially if you have just cut it. You can smooth the pipe using the reaming tool on the tubing cutter, the blade of the screwdriver, or even a piece of steel wool or emery cloth wrapped around your finger
- Slide the new spout onto the pipe until the base meets the wall. Align the spout so that the opening points straight down.
- Insert and tighten the set-screw by turning it clockwise. Replace the small cover cap in the screw opening.
- Apply silicone tub-and-tile caulk to the seam where wall and spout meet.
- Turn on the water and test the operation of the spout.
Replacing a Threaded Spout
Before you start this project, you'll need to measure to match the new spout to the old. It is best to wait until you have removed the old spout before buying the new one.
- Turn off the water at the tub/shower shut-off valve or the main water supply shut-off valve.
- Carefully scrape away the caulk where the spout meets the wall, using a putty knife or utility knife
- Place a pipe wrench or channel-lock pliers around the spout and tighten it, so it grips the fixture. Turn the wrench counterclockwise to unthread the spout from the stub-out pipe. You may also be able to accomplish this by placing the blade of a long screwdriver into the spout opening and using it for leverage to unscrew the threaded fixture.
- Clean off the threads on the end of the stub-out fitting.
- Take measurements to match the new spout to the old. Examine the old spout and the stub-out pipe. If you have a spout that threads near the front of the spout body, measure from the wall to the end of the stub-out pipe. For a spout that threads near the wall-end, measure the threaded nipple on the stub-out—it should be no longer than 1/2 inch. If your spout is a telescoping one, the stub-out pipe should be a maximum of 1 3/8 inches in length. With this measurement in hand, buy your new spout.
- Add four or five wraps of thread-sealing tape to the threaded stub-out, wrapping it in a clockwise direction around the threads.
- Apply silicone tub-and-tile caulk around the area where the spout and the wall meet. This will help ensure that water doesn't drip behind the spout and damage the interior of the wall.
- Thread the new spout onto the stub-out pipe slowly, by hand at first. To avoid scratching the finish, protect the spout by wrapping a rag around it before attaching the wrench to finish tightening the spout. Tighten the spout so that the opening is aligned straight up and down.
- Wipe away any excess caulk from the seam where the spout meets the wall.

Taxi cabs have been in existence for about three centuries now. Today, there are different kinds of taxis ranging from horse drawn tourist attractions, to the classic yellow taxi cab, to luxury limos or sedans. Despite modern advances, taxis still have the same basic function today as they did hundreds of years ago: to facilitate the movement of people from one location to another. Taxicab has a long and varied history, some of which is almost hard to believe today. In ancient times, people used to carry the nobility or royalty in compartments on their backs and transport them from one place to another.
In the early 17th century, both Paris and London saw the beginning of services of horse-drawn for-hire hackney carriage. Royal proclamations controlled the number of those carriages in both cities, and this marked the first regulation of taxis. After these carriages, hansom cabs were invented. They had better speed and improved safety. As a result, people preferred using them, and hansom cabs exploded in popularity.
Daimler Victoria, the modern taxicab equipped with meter, was built in 1897 by Gottlieb Daimler. In the same year, the first motorized taxi company came into operation in Stuttgart. In 1899, Taxicabs powered by gas became operational in Paris. In 1907, a businessperson by the name Harry N. Allen imported the gas powered taxicabs from France to New York. He was the first person to paint his taxi yellow, after realizing that the yellow color is easy to recognize even from a distance.
In 20th century, taxicabs grew rapidly in number around the world. After inventing the taximeter (which gave the iconic vehicles their name), the next major invention was that of two-way radios that took place in the late 1940s. Radios made it possible for taxicabs and dispatch offices to communicate and deliver more efficient services to customers than previous techniques such as the use of call boxes. Another major invention took place in the 1980s, when computer-assisted dispatching was invented.
While it may not be a necessity in other industries, regulation is highly beneficial in the taxicab industry. History has proven that a taxi industry that is not regulated is not only harmful to consumers but also to drivers and operating companies.
During the Great Depression, there were not enough stable jobs, and people grabbed the opportunity to drive unlicensed taxicabs. Results? There were increased accident rates, high level of congestion on the roads and poor insurance coverage. The harmful consequences of deregulation of taxicabs necessitated the American cities to enact laws to address liability, safety and right issues of driver. Today, some ridesharing apps seek to
get around regulations that were put in place to protect everyone, and we see some of the same struggles repeating themselves.

Parent-Child Codependence
I discuss parent-child codependence synonymously under the headers of cofusion, secondary fusion, pseudo-fusion or codependence. I also speak of symbiotoholism or symbiotoholic parents.
Codependence is a dependency problem that manifests in the parent-child relation typically for the first time after the critical mother-infant symbiosis, and thus as a general rule after the 18th month of the baby.
What is generally little known is the fact that even before the completion of the 18th month of the infant, mother and child are engaging in subtle communication about limits that typically reveals to what extent the mother is able and willing to grant the infant autonomy, or not. This early dialogue, that is most of the time nonverbal, has been found to deeply condition people for their later relational behavior patterns.
This is even more relevant in the mother-son relation than it is in the father-daughter relation because the matrix-provider has more power of the child, be it boy or girl, than the sperm-giver. This evaluation of the primal scene has been found both by Freudian Analysis and Transactional Analysis (TA), and it is not as such a matter of cultural conditioning, or compliance to either matriarchy or patriarchy.
Codependence is a major building block in the political and social entanglement scheme of what I came to call Oedipal Culture. Causative factors that have been revealed in my own and other research are:
- Mother did not really want the child;
- Mother is professionally over-engaged, lacking time for the infant;
- Lack of healthy physical interaction between parents and child;
- Overly strong career focus of parents, leaving child to babysitters;
- Insufficient eye contact in the mother-infant relation;
- Insufficient or no breast feeding;
- Insufficient tactile stimulation of the baby (tactile deprivation);
- Shame-based identity of the mother and resulting rejection behavior:
—when baby shows erotic behavior, and mother turns away regard;
—when baby touches their genitals, and mother takes their hands off;
—when baby seeks closeness with mother, she puts baby to sleep;
—when mother holds baby away from her body, to avoid touch;
—when mother constantly has 'no time' for intimate time with baby;
- father left family during pregnancy, after birth or not long thereafter;
- father, while still part of the family, is as good as never present;
- father refuses to take over any role in childcare;
- father is abusive toward mother and/or the child, etc.
In other words, codependence is a compensation reaction of entangled organisms that tries to heal a split that was caused by a lack of early intimacy.
The entanglement paradoxically comes about through a lack of physical closeness, and of communication, and through a general tactile deprivation of the child, also through non-physical factors such as parents' thoughts being constantly focused on money and status or children generally relegated to receiving affection from secondary caretakers, babysitters, house teachers, and the like.
The entanglement specifically comes about through the fact of lacking autonomy of the child, and of lacking exposure to experiences and a social life outside of the family.
Details have been shown with abundant evidence by the long-term research of James W. Prescott, Ashley Montagu, Michel Odent, Frederick Leboyer, Alexander Lowen and others. The problem of codependence is for obvious reasons much more stringent in the individualistic and separative white Western culture than in highly sociable open societies such as African, South American or Asian cultures. Yet in these cultures today we face the problem in the middle and upper classes as well because they have adopted Western values and a lifestyle that clones most of the alienated Western behavior models, thereby shunning their own perennial wisdom that their elders still are knowledgeable about.
The Popular Confusion
There are many myths that distort and tear down naturally erotic but nonsexual relations between parents and children; these distorted popular views actually foster and purport codependence instead of helping in any way to avoid it. For example, and contrary to popular belief, the unhealthy codependence between parent and child is not created through too much of physical interaction and shared affection and tenderness, but in the contrary through touch hostility and prudishness.
For example, it has often been believed that a boy will develop a codependent relationship with his mother when he is 'too close' to her, or when he sleeps with his mother in the same bed. This is simply not true. The causes of mother-son codependence are often depicted in an overly simplified or even distorted manner. To begin with, it is not through abundant shared pleasure, affection, tenderness and touch that codependence comes about. It's not through mother and son, or father and daughter, sleeping together, taking baths together, sharing nudity, and it's not through their sharing a naturally sensual and erotic attraction for each other.
In the contrary, if these elements were causative factors in the etiology of codependence, any abundantly sensual mothering or fathering would lead to entrapping children in pseudo-incestuous relations. But this is not the case. If a mother is fully erotically present for her boy, without being incestuous, and embraces him sensually while giving him at the same time the necessary amount of autonomy according to his age and abilities, the boy will easily liquidate his Oedipus Complex and develop his fully functional heterosexuality; he will then project his libido upon peer girls of his age, or approximately of his age.
The same is true in the father-daughter relation with regard to the girl-child's mastering the Electra Complex and projecting her sexual feelings upon peers boys.
There are many false signals in today's popular culture and vulgarized psychological publications. These false signals lead to parents' becoming more and more insecure as to the role physical affection plays in parenting. This makes that parents are more or less constantly bombarded with ambiguous messages with the result that many parents retreat physically from their children, thereby inclosing them in atrocious feelings of abandonment, loneliness and despair.
As a result of 1960s American pediatrics that advocated physical separation between parents and child which in the meantime is seen as a fundamental error, many of today's parents had a deprivatory childhood themselves and became dysfunctional parents of their own children. A long-term bestseller on the list of child-torture books from this generation of misguided pediatrics is the parenting manual by Dr. Benjamin Spock that is still today a leading guide for many parents — to the detriment of their children.
In the contrary, it is through the absence of the father together with a shame-based identification in the mother-son relation that mother-son codependence is brought about. The reason for the more dramatic constellation in the mother-son relation has to do with the greater psychic fragility of the human male in general, and with the simple fact that it's the mother who is the matrix, not the father, in particular. If we want to add one more problem complex, which I did not research, it's the codependent mother-daughter relation.
By contrast, father-child care in our culture is seldom codependent simply because the father is most of the time absent. And this is, then, also one of the causative factors in mother-son codependence. But apart from this, there are singular cases of father-daughter codependence and they are marked by the fact that the father exceedingly overprotects the girl-child to an extent to virtually keep her 'away from life.' As I have seen it in some families, this can bring about absurd constellations and relationships that symbolically express that the child is no more allowed to walk on their own feet, but on the feet of the father, so as to be 'protected of the harshness of life.'
The problem is much more manifest in white Western culture than in any of non-Western and tribal (native) cultures. My research has shown that virtually the only cultures that do not have the problem are tribal cultures, that is most native populations around the world. One important element in this etiology that has hardly been elucidated by research is that these children experience terrible loneliness during their childhood and youth.
The Pitfalls of Emotional Entanglement
Another important insight about mother-child codependence is that it deprives the child, typically the boy, of the time and care needed for developing his true and individual intelligence, his own intrinsic gifts and talents.
Men who grow up entangled with their mothers are caught in a net of stiffening responsibilities, or obligations, or what is felt as such, which impedes them from really thinking of themselves, and minding their own business. The result is that they hardly think their projects through to the end, having no time and rest for vision-building, constantly harassed by their demanding mothers, threatened as they are with love denial or even financial starving in case they disobey and begin to live their own lives.
In this sense, it can be said that the son bears the cross for the sins committed by his mother, and it's really a sin to suffocate a young man's energies and intelligence by throwing one's weight around as a mother and disregarding his fragility as a man.
In this sense, many women in our society need to be educated what right motherhood is about, and even more so, what wrong motherhood is. Not only is the Oedipussi subject to ridicule and humiliation, he is also one of the major actors on the stage of child-focused sexual crime.
—Ödipussi is the title of a television series by the German humorist, author and filmmaker Loriot.
Our mass media depict the truth in a distorted manner, suggesting with their politically correct rhetoric a boy had to care for his mom eternally, if he's a 'good boy.' These views have to be judged perverse, as they are really putting nature upside down. Childhood is transitory. Period.
The French child psychoanalyst and therapist Françoise Dolto has analyzed this problem in the mother-son relation, in her book Psychoanalysis and Pediatrics (1971), and she writes:
There are boys who stay lovingly fixated upon their mothers; their behavior is characterized by the fact that they do not attempt to 'seduce' any other woman. If the father is alive, the two men are constantly disputing, for the fact that the boy does not detach himself from his mother and searches out other love and sex objects proves that the boy has not liquidated — in a friendship of equality with his father — his pre-oedipal homosexuality. He will therefore prepare for getting 'in trouble' with his father through his difficult and provocative behavior.
When the father has left and the young boy 'dedicates himself' to his mother, this behavior can be accompanied by real social sublimations, which are associated with the activities derived from the repression of genital and procreative sexuality, but this boy cannot behave sexually and affectively like an adult. He suffers from inferiority feelings toward men that he unconsciously identifies with his father; he can also be a hyper-genital who is always avid to get new sex partners toward whom he will never build real attachment, but he will show impotent in relations with any woman he really loves, because this is associated in his unconscious with the tabooed incestuous object. (Id., 88, translation mine)
The messages those boys and young men are typically bombarded with by their mothers are, for example:
- You are egoistic!
- You are like your father …!
- You are like my brother …!
- Think a little of your mother …!
- I'm always sitting at home, can't you show me around a little!
- You should have more gratitude for your mother …!
- etc.
And when the boy is on the right track and really develops a unique genuine interest, mother will have enough reasons to tell him that he's inadequate for it:
- Why do you spend so much time for this, it leads nowhere!
- Stay with your feet on the ground, you have grandiose ideas …!
- Like your father, big mouth and little essence …!
- Others have done that before you, so where's the point?!
- You better spend your time taking care of your old mother!
- Why don't you follow my advice, you are just stubborn!?
- I always told you, but you know everything better …!
Much evil in the world done by men has its roots here, in a stiffening mother-son relation that deprived the boy for years of his vital energies, blocking his emotional flow to a point of self-forgetfulness.
This is, then, the reason why these men one day explode, so to speak, for thinking of themselves for one time, and do something horrible to a woman, a little girl, or an elder. And who goes to jail is always the boy, then a man, and not his mother. And that, in my humble opinion, should be changed. Women are to be made responsible for being abusive as mothers, not only men, as fathers!
Women always claim to not being given enough responsibility under patriarchy, but most women bluntly deny their abusive attitudes toward their sons in our society, which is an abuse of responsibility, an abuse of power. However, this abuse is hidden for the most part, and often veiled behind feminist activism, a career or what I came to call a victim attitude. Women always cry for abuse when it's about them, never when it's about the sons they drive into madness, suicide, child rape or even murder. And here our laws have to change, definitely!
Of course, in clinical and psychotherapeutic practice, codependence does not in the first place manifest as a parent-child problem, but as a husband-spouse problem, and that is why it comes up in marriage counseling and family therapy. And that is exactly what makes it so intricate and difficult to cure it in the therapeutic setting. What many practitioners overlook is that the problem does not originate in the partner relation but in the earlier parent-child relations that both partners experienced and that they project, as a matter of unconscious automatisms, upon their partner. We all project our parent of the opposite sex upon our spouse or husband, only that there are two essentially different ways of doing that, a conscious way based on the letting-go of the parent (mourning), or an unconscious way based on entanglement, confusion and hate-love.
In the Freudian terminology of the Oedipus Complex, the first alternative corresponds to what Freud called a liquidated Oedipus and the second corresponds to what Freud called an unresolved Oedipus.
Emotional Child Abuse
Christopher Bagley writes in his book Child Abusers: Research and Treatment (2003):
Emotional abuse causes the most long-term harm to children, although combinations of emotional with physical and/or sexual abuse cause the most harm to long-term mental health.
What is emotional abuse, emotional incest or covert incest? I observed that today many men have a sadistically tained relationships with women, which is something like a revenge reaction or compensation for the codependence they went through with their emotionally abusive mothers. Unconsciously, they want to punish their mothers for the constant humiliations, the constant withdrawal of affection, and the utterly conditioned love they received and the painful lack of autonomy that is the sad reality in this kind of exclusive relationships.
The main problem in our culture is the mother-son relation and as good as all our social and relational problems flow out from this major distortion. Many men project their early ambiguous feelings toward their mothers later on their spouses, girlfriends, and even little girls they encounter, with the result that the ambivalent and hardly conscious aggression they foster toward their mothers is projected outward in society, and creates havoc in man-woman and man-girl relationships. This aggression in men comes about through the combination of lacking autonomy in their boyhood, absence of the father, demanding attitude of the mother for the son to stay at home, strict education with frequent humiliating punishment, isolation from peers through motherly overprotection, attitude to enclose the boy in an exclusive, intimate and emotionally abusive relation, victim attitude of the mother, and the explicit or hidden demonization of the boy's peer relations, friendships and social life.
A way out could be a certain persistence of the boy in the face of such a situation, and a firmness to be developed on his part that insists on his right to maintain relationships with peers, teens and adults other than tutelary figures and family, and that he asks for a certain amount of free time, every weekend, for going out alone, and unmonitored.
This could give the young male the opportunity to speak about his emotional pressures, about the humiliation he suffers and his confused feelings, especially when the boy turns into adolescence and these feelings of aggression start to get sexualized and become more or less violent sexual urges. While generally, with overprotected youngsters, a problem of acceptance will occur at the beginning in any group relation and a certain hostility may be experienced at the start, it can only be beneficial for young people to leave their nest from time to time to search out peer company and also adult males and females, who may be in state to support the young boy in his rightful quest for autonomy and respect.
The advice that I give for such cases is to strengthen personal autonomy, and to get into an inner dialogue with the shadow, and the inner child, in order to unveil the hidden distortions in the mother-son relation that has been internalized and that can be gradually rendered conscious through this kind of work. The result of my thirty years of research on abuse and sexual paraphilias is that these sexual distortions result from mother-son codependence that has reached a level of gravity to be qualified as emotional abuse, and which is to be seen as one of the biggest relational problems of our times.
The Primary Abuse Etiology
Unfortunately, Western psychiatry only very recently began to get a hint of this, and when I started my research, back in 1985, there was not yet any book published on emotional abuse. Emotional abuse is now considered as the worst and most long-term form of abuse, as it's of all abuse etiologies the primary etiology.
Sexual abuse is only one of several consequences of emotional abuse. Emotional abuse has become something like my research specialty and even now, I discovered, only very few books are published about it, while whole libraries have been written about sexual abuse. Contrary to most psychiatrists, I came to believe that the long-term psychic strain and fixations sexual abuse causes is not typically related to the sexual experience, if there was any, but to the following factors that are, or are not, present in such cases:
- Suddenness of the experience or child was trapped;
- Behavior was conflicting with the social code or family attitude;
- Entrapment effect that led to immediate anxiety;
- Debasing attitude of the type 'I can have all females I want;'
- Impossibility after the experience to talk to anybody about it.
Much could be changed socially if anti-abuse social work could be based on these research insights instead of going on with tearing in the dirt pedoerotic sexuality, as this is the common public rhetoric in today's postmodern international consumer culture. Here the focus is obviously wrong, as authors such as Stevi Jackson, a feminist activist, and Alayne Yates, an American child psychologist, have shown in their books.
The focus must be on fighting coercion, violence, and entrapment, not sexuality, and Western society should eventually learn to accept all forms of sexual behavior as a non-vulgar, non-harmful, non-debasing and creative human activity. Sexuality, after all, is a form of communication, and it's a social, not an asocial activity.
What Western culture does is to distort and pervert children's emotional life virtually from the cradle, and the Freudian myth of the Oedipus Complex has pretty much contributed to this distortion of the natural psychosexual growth of the child.
Children do not grow through being codependent ersatz partners of their parents, and yet this is exactly what the present culture is doing with them, imprisoning them in the nuclear family and depriving them of the whole bunch of hairy folk they were hitherto exposed to, when still living in the extended family and also a good part of the day in the street, without being constantly monitored and followed up.
The present structure virtually breeds violence, and this on a worldwide scale because the Western educational paradigm is exported all over the world within global consumer culture.
