Vaccines and Sensory Processing Disorders?
Hi my son has been diagnosed with SPD and also has Auditory processing issues. My question is there any relationship between vaccinating our children and developing SPD? I ask because I am asking because I am not very fond of the metals that are used to create this so called immunization shots that our children are submitted to every so often in order to be prevented of diseases? Bran got a flu shot a few years ago and he got a very bad reaction I Decided to never expose him again to that pain. He also started having coordination and motor issues when playing soccer, holding pencils etc. I am confused since I see that pediatrician's don't have answers and give our kids shots freely without even thinking of the possibilities of Autism, Sensory disorders and Aspergers.He is going to be in kindergarten and I Know the schools require a shot form before even register our kids. There must be a way to avoid poisoning our little ones!!
Please any input will be gladly taken.
Comments for Vaccines and Sensory Processing Disorders?
I'm so glad you are asking questions. I was once very pro vax. Then my oldest became vaccine injured. It was very subtle and I did not make the connection until later and after doing a ton of research on my own.
She was diagnosed on the autism spectrum, has visual processing disorders, and sensory processing issues. Autism is basically an umbrella term for brain damage or brain inflammation which what these toxic vaccines injected straight into small children's developing bodies are doing.
One of the questions I asked myself is who funds all these vaccines and I began to follow the money trail.
Www.tacanow.org. Very helpful resource to help your child recover. There is hope!
You can help your child in many ways to recover, may not be 100% but many kids including my own have recovered to the point where they can lose their diagnosis.
My daughter didn't show any typical signs of SPD until she started elementary. She was a snuggle bunny and loved touch and had no issues with clothing her first 5-7 years.
The only connection I can make is her receiving immunizations the first 5 years. Her symptoms have evolved as she is now an adolescent. She was first diagnosed with auditory processing but then the touch/sensory issues began to show. Its very frustrating as she was tested and misdiagnosed.
Now it has affected her self esteem due to the social issues with peers. Its been a difficult road for this Mom to observe since its a hidden diagnosis. Her peers appear puzzled by her & I believe think she is on the autism spectrum until they have a conversation with her and see how bright she is and can be social.
She is very smart and realizes they don't understand her and thus she feels left out frequently from friendship circles. It's a lonely diagnosis.
Want more info on vaccines, food and environmental toxins?
Want more info on vaccines, food and environmental toxins? I was in the same boat as almost every one of you! There is a connection and I have made it my mission along with a few other amazing individuals, industry professionals (i.e. Doctors, Chiropractors, Neurologists, Psychiatrists, Therapists etc) to create The Toxic Truth!
We are currently finalizing our branding, info, blog posts, online store and more! Our site will be a one stop site full of resources, studies, safe products, list of unsafe ingredient and what to look for, how to eat organic or specialized diet on any budget, recipes and more! We will also have protocols for detoxing and reversing the damages that have been done, info on each disorder and how to manage (parenting advice, discipline, etc) info on vaccines and lack there of and so so much more!
I invite you to like our FB page where we will continue to keep everyone updated on this two year project we have been putting all our time and effort into! We also have our Toxic Truth radio show on Freedomizer Radio network which will resume either December or early next year!!
We will continue to advocate for you your children families and loved ones to make sure you are up to date with all the latest into, have accurate information, and we will work together to heal our babies and spread The Toxic Truth!
I was doing what I was "supposed to do" and got my son vaccinated. He was fine with the 1st round of shots, although I was appalled at the sheer number of vaccines they gave him at one time! He was just a little baby, why do we have to hurry and push so much into their tiny bodies?
The 2nd set of shots was a different story. He developed a slight fever, no big deal, but by the next day, he was a different child. He stopped cooing, giggling, and babbling, didn't make much eye contact, and the light seemed to have gone out of his eyes like he wasn't really there anymore. It was like he forgot how to be a baby.
About 2 weeks later, he seemed to snap out of it, but he suddenly developed odd arm flapping and hand waving behaviors and he never really got back on track for speech.
He is now 3 and he's been diagnosed with a possibility of Autism or Asperger's. He is woefully behind on speech and is taking special classes right now. I'm not sure if it's the vaccines themselves or just the possibility that some children are sensitive to vaccines, but something is going on. I had a perfectly normal baby, then he suddenly changed.
My son has also been diagnosed with sensory issues and they are inconclusive if its highly functioning autism. We have fabulous homeopathic and medicinal Dr for myself and my son. She said people with sensory issues should not get vaccines as there is an issue with the body being able to process the vaccines and it can make sensory issues more acute.
I asked about how that works if school requires proof of vaccinations she said she would send the school a letter that for health reasons our son cannot have vaccines. I'm frustrated as I asked for vaccines without lead and was against 4th e flu shot but my narcissistic husband insisted our son get them every year and now we have a sensory diagnosis.
Resuming speech and occupational therapies (had to take 1 year off due to my fight with stage 2 breast cancer) and getting him enrolled in a peek head start program.
My daughter seemed to "miraculously" develop full blown SPD within days of her vaccines at 6months. She also had a strange neurological adverse reaction, within minutes of receiving them. I have no doubt that vaccines did this to her.
I do believe SPD is neurological damage caused by vaccines AND/OR our horrific food system. My oldest has SPD and was fully vaccinated...actually doubly vaccinated on two different occasions necause his pediatrician had "no record" of his previous inoculations. A Paleo diet with grass fed meats and organic produce healed almost all of his symptoms. Sadly we couldn't continue the diet due to expense. I have to be home with my children due to special needs and cost of daycare which means we can barely get by.
forced by his father and now his stepmother(she's a physician's assistant that thinks she knows my grandson better than his mom) to have shots 3 at a time at one point. My grandson now exhibits many sensory problems that were not there before this.
I have not vaccinated my child and he has mild sensory issues. I did receive Rhogam shot once while pregnant so who knows? But I am glad I did not vaccinate or else who knows what else would have happened to him. Parents need to get pass the 2 year mark with their kids before decided whether to vaccinate or not. We have decided to delay them further as he starting to develop more normal now. I would not risk it.
He is now three years old and speaking two languages. We still have to work on his receptive communication and listening skills but OT and Speech therapy helped a lot.
To the person saying an unvaccinated person can get their vaccinated person sick with a disease that there are vaccines for is redundant. Read your comment again. IF the vaccines are so effective against the disease then you should have nothing to worry about, that's the whole point of your vaccine isn't it? Vaccinated ppl shed the diseases they are getting injected with spreading the disease. Do more research on vaccine shedding.
Every time there is an outbreak vaccinated ppl are the ones getting the diseases. How could all of these kids have inherited these disorders and yet no one in our family has these things? Ppl need to do more research instead of blindly vaccinating their children.
My dad had almost every disease we vaccinate for and is still alive. Most ppl who die from such diseases either have a compromised immune system or die from a secondary infection. Please research and don't be bullied into medical procedures.
The government program the other posted referred to below that is paying for the vaccine injured child is The Vaccine Compensation Board (bc ppl can't sue the drug mfg). Most states have a vaccine exemption form for religious or philosphical reasons you can bring to your school, there are only two or three that only have medical exemptions. I do believe something is going on with our children. Good luck!
My 2.5 yr old son is receiving service for speech and OT. My husband thinks he has Aspergers and says I'm in denial. But from age 1 we both kept saying there was something different about him. It started with covering his ears, sometimes for no apparent reason. Not acknowledging his name being called, I would call it over and over, get louder to the point of yelling. Eventually he would turn around unaffected by my loud tone. He is still deathly afraid of the vacuum, has a high pain tolerance, poor sleep (its after 11 and he is still awake) . He never said mama until after age 2 but even then it was bobby. He began talking around his first bday, had his 1yr old shots. Shortly after got very ill and was in hospital for 4 days. He quit talking and at 18 months his doctor referred him for services.
I take these Aspberger and sensory surveys and he seems to have a mixture of symptoms. Maybe that why I think its normal toddler behavior because he doesn't fall under any specific category when It comes to symptoms. He's all over the place. he has started putting more words together but when he begins talking to you , like trying to say a long sentence he speaks his own language, but his vocabulary is very large. He knows a lot of words. He also know the entire alphabet, can also recognise upper and lower case (which his therapist said is unusual at this age). Usually they can only say them but have trouble recognising. He has been able to do this before he was 2.
He can also count to 15 and recognises his numbers as well. Knows all his colors, loves cars, wants to go bye-bye all the time, then when we get there he wants to leave immediately. I don't like to leave the house with him if we have to get out of car. He has had a lot of medical issues. At 7 months I found a lump In his arm. He had xrays, CTscans, MRIs. Oncologist, Radiologist, Hemotologist, no one knew what it was. Finally found a surgeon that would biopsy it, turned out being benign. But he has been exposed to so much radiation at a young age. Every six months that went by he had to have MRIs of this thing and be put completely under. One time his away began to swell after we got him home and he was hospitalized again for 3 days. We finally said enough. Well that's just a little run down, too much more to list. If you're still reading, thanks and your thought and comments are welcomed.
First of all, this should not be a fight between parents who vaccinate and parents who don't. Let's understand that we all want the best for our children. But I strongly feel it is so important to research the vaccines so you understanding exactly what ingredients are in them and the side effects to make an informed decision. I feel that parents who believe in vaccinating usually have no experience with children who have suffered from vaccine damage and probably feel the government would not allow it if it weren't safe and that there is no proof.
Well, I am here to tell you there IS proof. My coworker worked with a child who was neurologically impaired and in a wheelchair from vaccine and all treatments were funded by the government because they have a fund set up for children who have been damaged by vaccines so obviously they are COMPLETELY AWARE that it happens!!!! A friend of mine had a son who became autistic after a vaccine, filed a complaint and now has NO access to his medical record of the incident because government officials went to the pediatric office to remove the record and the nurse at the office said that is NOT the first time that has happened. She called several times and got nowhere with the government trying to retrieve his chart.
You will here statistics but two things to think about... #1 the statistics are so much worse then what they report because a lot of cases are covered up like I just spoke about and #2 whatever the statistics are- do you want someone telling you that devastating affects happen but are fairly rare and take that chance? Do you want your child to be a statistic? I don't. Another thing I hear parents say is "My kids were vaccinated and they're fine." That's crazy because #1 every person is so different as far as how they are affected by diet, environment, medications, etc etc so you cannot generalize the entire population and #2 really, is your child fine? So many disorders are on the rise including ADHD, SIDS, emotional issues, psych and learning disabilities, developmental and speech delays, sensory processing issues and the list goes on. Do people not realize these are all neurological functions that can be greatly affected by the presence of a neurotoxin which ARE contained in vaccines. And let's realize that so many of the vaccines are for diseases that are either very mild, almost nonexistent or easily treatable. Chickenpox?? Really?? And realize that an educated person knows immediately when something is not right with their child and seeks medical attention immediately in order to avoid any long term issues. Everyone has a right to their own beliefs but please do your research!
My question is that my daughter has been diagnosed with SPD & is now due for her 4 year old vaccines. Will getting these vaccines trigger something worse in her? How do I make this decision? I've gotten her the rest of them, but I'm worried about the controversial 4 year old vaccines.
...your child contracts one of the diseases for which you choose not to vaccinate, and passes that along to other children who (for whatever reason, be it un-vaccinated or a failed vaccine) never recover? Does the passing of that child weigh on your conscience? It should!
I don't know if we will ever know for sure, but our son was diagnosed with SPD when he was in kindergarten. We had noticed various problems when he entered preschool, which appeared to be social issues. However a very astute kindergarten teacher recognized the symptoms as neurological and not social. He is the only one (#3) of our 4 children who have any kind of dysfunction, and interestingly is also the only one who received the whole slew of vaccines required to get into school. If it weren't for the fact that he seemed extra-sensitive to typically soothing touch as an infant, I would probably have no doubt in my mind that it was from the ingredients in the inoculations. Personally, I'd rather be safe than sorry, which is why the others did not receive as many as this one. It just so happened that we gave in to the medical professional pressure and went against our better judgment. I really hate to admit that, but it was a moment of weakness. We have to be our own child's advocate. What is acceptable for one is not necessarily beneficial for all.
In our case I know that my daughter's sensory issues weren't caused by vaccinations (because she's never received a vaccine). We opted out of vaccines for our kids because we aren't convinced that the ingredients used in vaccines are safe.
In our state, you can sign an exemption form to opt out of the school's vaccine requirements, but I know the criteria for exemption varies from state to state. It's worth checking in to if you think the vaccines are negatively affecting his health.
This is a question that I had too. But perhaps because I think more to genetics, there are cases of fathers and sons,mothers and sons, brothers SPD.E for logic suggests that some genetic mutation yet to be ascertained. Of course, not be ruled out other possible causes.this is just my humble thoughts.

Q: Why JDI Test Framework use static methods for pages According to documentation https://github.com/epam/JDI

Note: all fields and methods on your Site page are STATIC

Why there is such requirement? And if the test cases will work in parallel?
For example, we know the fact that if webdriver is static - we have a problem.

A: This is not a requirement. This is possibility. You can use not static.
We recommend static because this do your tests shorter (with static import)
Paralleling works well because of Driver factory manage different driver instances for different threads. And elements has only "driver name"

Lessons From A Deer: Don't Eat Out Of Season
by Manish Chandra | Sep 16, 2014 | Ayurveda | 1 comment
Herbivores have evolved to have two stomachs. The first one is called the rumen, where grasses, barks and impossible-to-digest-by-humans plant matter are digested by millions of plant-eating microbes. Rumens and the saliva of herbivores are either alkaline or neutral, allowing just about every kind of microbe to hit the rumen alive and well.
The rumen is such a finely tuned digestive machine that scientists in a lab have not yet been able to reproduce its digestive prowess to foster the extraordinary growth of healthy microbes. The sheer number and variety of these microbes make it possible for herbivores to fully break down just about any plant and plant cell into its essential nutrients.
In the rumen, after the vitamins, minerals, proteins and other nutrients are separated from the indigestible cellulose, these nutrients enter into the second stomach, which is much like our first stomach. Digestive acids further break down these nutrients, enabling them to be absorbed into the bloodstream to feed the cells of the body.
The Real Locavores
Interestingly the herbivores' diet changes dramatically from season to season and, like a symphony, the microbes needed to digest each seasons' harvest thrive with each seasonal queue. The woody branches and barks of winter are replaced with the greens of spring and the acorns of fall.
Bacteria suited to digest the soft leaves and bitter roots of spring populate the rumen in the spring and vanish by summer, while microbes that feed on the fruits and greens of summer are replaced by a new population of microbes that digest the tough wood fibers of winter.
What Happens Next Will Blow Your Mind!
The following is an excerpt from a book called, The Forest Unseen.
"Sudden changes in the diet can disrupt this elegant molding of the rumen community and its environment. If a deer is fed corn or leafy greens in the middle of winter, its rumen will be knocked off balance, acidity will rise uncontrollably, and gases will bloat the rumen. Indigestion of this kind can be lethal."
In other words, when an herbivore eats foods that are not in season, it causes a drastic shift in the microbiology, leading to severe indigestion that can actually kill the herbivore. When cows are taken from pastures and suddenly fed grain instead of grasses, they have to be medicated to pacify the rumen.
As we realize that we are omnivores and not herbivores, but clearly this is food for thought! We are as connected to the cycles of nature as the herbivores, albeit in a different way. If eating foods that are not in season can kill a deer, this a message for us to begin to respect the diet that has been right in front of us all along – the diet that follows the harvests of nature!
There is no doubt that the microbes in our intestinal tract change according to diet and seasonal influences. Yes, perhaps we are more resilient to these changes – but are we immune to them?
The ancient principles of Ayurveda tell us that we are not immune to these changes and that, moreover, our survival depends on honoring them.

The Zurich store was designed by Spillmann Echsle Architects, and hearkens back to the company's original product of messenger bags made from recycled tarps and seatbelts. So building a store from recycled containers is a manifestation of one of the company's core values: making cool products out of old stuff. Don't miss the image inspiration below.

Wow – that is completely hideous! What an eyesore. A combination of adaptive reuse and some aesthetic quality would be much more impressive.
I think it's brilliant. perfect reflection of the brand.
Of course, I agree with Andy, but that's why I posted this. This is a cool building.
Thats so simple it is amazing , i would love to see the interior space !

Second Chances: Jacob
The story of Jacob takes up half of the book of Genesis in the Bible. He is the patriarch of the Israelites.
Jacob being blessed by Isaac
Jacob comes into the world grasping the heel of his brother, Esau. God revealed to their mother, Rebekah that the two struggled in the womb. This is a struggle that would continue not only for the rest of their lives, but for generations to come. We know that the boys were very different, "…and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a simple man, dwelling in tents". {Genesis 25:27}
Esau was focused on his own needs in the moment and sold his birthright to Jacob {Genesis 25:29-34}, but neither Jacob nor Rebekah forgot this barter. The time came for Isaac to bless his son with the birthright. He sent Esau out to kill the venison. In the meantime, Jacob and Rebekah prepared a meal and tricked Isaac into thinking that Jacob was his brother. Isaac gave him the blessing and did not realize he had been deceived until Esau returned. Esau hated his brother and vowed to kill him. Longing to protect her favorite child, Rebekah sent Jacob away to her brother, Laban. {Genesis 27}
While on his way to his uncle's, Jacob had a vision in which he saw a ladder with angels ascending and descending from heaven. The voice of God repeated the blessings of his father. {This is known as Jacob's ladder}.
Arriving in Haran, Jacob meets his cousin Rachel first and instantly falls in love with her. He agreed to work for seven years to make her his wife. However, Laban tricked Jacob and he was married to Rachel's older sister, Leah. Jacob did not realize the deceit until the next morning and was very angry. After completing his bridal week with Leah, he was allowed to marry Rachel.
Leah blessed Jacob with five sons, but Rachel's womb was "closed". Thus Rachel gave her maidservant, Bilhah, to Jacob and she gave him two sons. Leah gave Jacob her maidservant, Zilpah, who also gave Jacob two sons. Later, Leah had two more sons and a daughter, Dinah. God finally remembered Rachel and she gave birth to a son, Joseph.
Jacob decided to return home, but Laban did not want to let him go. The men agreed that Jacob would take Laban's spotted sheep as his wages, but Laban later became jealous when he realized Jacob was being blessed as his flock grew.
Jacob and his family finally left for Canaan, but not before Rachel stole her father's household idols. Laban was angry, until God warned him in a dream not to say anything "good or bad" to Jacob. However, Jacob cursed whoever took the household idols {not knowing it was his bellowed Rachel}.
Jacob loved Rachel from the moment he met her
Jacob sent messengers to his brother, Esau that he was going through the area. When word reached that his brother was returning with an army of men, Jacob beseeched God in prayer. That evening he "wrestled with an unknown being until daybreak." When the being did not overpower Jacob, his thigh was touched and Jacob had a limp the rest of his life. Jacob demanded a blessing and God changed his name to Israel. He named the place, Penuel, saying "I have seen God face to face and lived." {Genesis 32}
In the morning, he met his brother, Esau, and the brothers had an emotional reunion. Instead of returning home, Jacob settled in Shechem, where his daughter, Dinah, was raped. Two of his sons, Simeon and Levi, avenged the wrong done to their sister.
Rachel gave birth to a son, Benjamin, and died from complications of childbirth. Jacob buried her outside of Bethlehem. He finally returned home to bury his father, Isaac.
Jacob struggled with God, who renamed him Israel. He had a limp after this struggle.
However, his sons would turn on him. First his oldest, Reuben, by sleeping with Biliah. Second, when the brothers sold Joseph into slavery. However, Jacob did not know his son was sold and believed he'd been killed. {Genesis 37}
We can only imagine the heartache and pain Jacob felt during this time and in the years to follow. Twenty years passed before we learn more about Jacob and the famine that has covered the land. The sons go to Egypt to buy grain, when they are [eventually] reunited with their brother, Joseph.
Imagine, Jacob's surprise when he discovers his favorite son is alive and in Egypt. Jacob and his family move to Egypt and settled in the area of Goshen. When it came time for Jacob to die, he asked Joseph to please carry him back to Canaan and bury him with his forefathers.
The Israelites remained in Egypt and grew in number until the day Moses let them out of slavery.
So what lessons can we learn from the life of Jacob?
We reap the consequences for our actions
Jacob and his sons
We have to trust God and not be afraid
We have to obey God when He speaks, or there may be disastrous consequences
God is ALWAYS faithful. We just have to trust Him and that He knows best. Waiting is hard, but we are told His timing is perfect.
Showing favoritism can reap disastrous consequences
We can't take things into our hands, but must wait on God. Jacob proved that doing things "our way" doesn't work.
We are not immune to heartache just because we are faithful
God's grace will follow us if we seek Him
We have to confess our sins and shortcomings
God can change our heart. He can move us from darkness into the light of our circumstances, attitude and perceptions.
God is faithful to the promises He's made to us
God remains faithful despite our shortcomings
How has God been faithful in your life?

Q: How to get application name from python? In Wondows7 64.
I want to get application name from python.
here is code that I can get Processes name,but it's not I want.
from psutil import process_iter
process = filter(lambda p: p.name() == "main2.exe", process_iter())

A: On Windows, you could make a system call:
import subprocess
cmd = 'WMIC PROCESS get Caption'
proc = subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
for line in proc.stdout:
    print line

You could also get the 'Commandline' or 'Processid' if the 'Caption' isn't enough.

A: Maybe you mean this, which gives you the name of the Python script that is running:
import os
print(os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(__file__))[0])


We loved this house on Serene Lakes! We rented it for a weekend for family gathering. We had 4 families and everyone had a great time. The boys and kids loved fishing from the paddleboards and canoe. This house is perfect for a large group. We hope to make return trips to this house as a yearly family tradition. Thanks so much!
There were four families staying at this cabin, a total of 12 people including kids, and a dog... and it was quite spacious enough. The kitchen was pretty amazing, we were right on the lake... we even managed to rent the UFC fight while there, which was great. But the best thing was really the property management service. So helpful, so responsive. I feel like I had a question for them every other day... and they always helped me. My group is trying to figure out when we can come again... there's a reason this place is so booked up!
We were a group of 15 total—8 adults and 7 kids from 5 to 15 years old. This house was perfect. The pictures are accurate. The kitchen is well-equiped and modern. Everything is new and nice. We loved the stove. We were there for 4th of July weekend and the beach right in front of the house kept the kids busy for hours. We used the boat and stand-up paddle boards a bunch. We had all the kids stay together on the bottom floor where the TV is and adults took the other bedrooms. It worked out perfectly, although one couple ended up in a room with bunk beds. No big deal. The place fit 15 easily, and would have even held more.
Great house, great community. We had zero problems and everyone we encountered either in the town or to negotiate the rental were lovely.
Great place at a beautiful location.
Had a great time. Loved the lake being steps away.
Such a wonderful mountain home to stay a week vacation in. Our family of 15 were all very happy and comfortable. Every room was very clean and in good working order.
We loved the large kitchen which provided great large cookware, sharp knives, spices and tools that many rental places don't usually stock.
Our family loved going out on the lake everyday to paddle board and canoe. We always wanted to be outside because your place provides lots of room to venture and relax between the cabin and lakefront. Our grandsons, four and six, enjoyed casting their fishing rods off the deck, no bites, but they got in some great practicing.
We love Serene Lakes. The name really does fit the communitie's vibe.
If we can, we will be returning next year.
Beautiful house.. beautiful views!!! Third year here for our annual girls retreat. Coffee on our kayaks every morning is heaven. The resident eagle we have seen every year. Had a fabulous time. House is always clean and well stocked. Castle Peak Vacation Rentals is wonderful!!! A joy to do business with! I travel a lot and use vacation rental homes for my lodging and I must say Castle Peak is one of my favorite companies!!!

Attachment Theory and Women's Subjection
Presenter: Katherine Logan, PhD candidate, Philosophy Department
Katherine Logan's work centers on the struggle that many women in our society continue to face, the conflict between their private lives and their work lives. This struggle takes on new urgency in light of the evidence that many of those women who have most benefited from increasingly relaxed attitudes toward women's education and participation in the work force are increasingly more likely to sideline their careers for the sake of adequately mothering their children. After many years of trying to 'balance' the demands of family and career, these women are finding this balance impossible to maintain. Undoubtedly, there are many reasons for this imbalance, not least of which is the slow transformation with respect to family policy in both public and private enterprise. However, there is also a powerful trend in popular parenting literature that places enormous demands on the mother–breastfeeding, baby-wearing, cloth diapering, homemade baby food, limited childcare–that almost absolutely precludes the possibility that one could balance both a demanding career and the responsibilities of motherhood. This style of parenting, 'attachment parenting', bases its claims on what are purportedly scientific facts… facts that place the onus of care for the infant largely on the mother and seem to indicate that it is 'natural' for a woman to center her life around ensuring that her child attains a proper 'attachment.'
Katherine critically interrogates this parenting philosophy, arguing that there are at least two reasons that we need to remain skeptical about attachment parenting. The first is that attachment parenting, which borrows its terms from the field of attachment theory in psychological research, misuses the concept of 'attachment'. In other words, we ought to be skeptical about attachment parenting because its claims are inaccurate. Second, we ought to be skeptical about attachment parenting because of its rhetorical strategy, through which it authoritatively demands things of mothers (e.g., "Breastfeed your baby!") while also taking on the guise of a non-authoritative discourse (e.g., "Don't listen to those experts who claim that your child will be OK if she's not breastfed."). In other words, we ought to be skeptical about attachment parenting because it disingenuously deploys authoritarian strategies while masking itself as a non-authoritarian discourse. In so doing, attachment parenting numbers among those modern practices that encourage women to discipline themselves into vulnerable and undervalued societal positions. Through a parenting style that purports to provide better answers to questions in contemporary parenting, attachment parenting employs methods that encourage educated, successful women to actively reinstitute sex-based inequality.
That said, there are normatively praiseworthy aspects of attachment parenting that ought to be taken seriously, and Katherine concludes her research by pointing out some of the pressing social and personal problems that attachment parenting attempts to answer. For example, attachment parenting has found popularity at a time when the increase of women in the workforce has left a care deficit in our society. Even though our institutions have become more amenable to women's public participation, this does not mean that the important (and unpaid or underpaid) caring work that women have done in the past is no longer needed. Even if we need to be skeptical of the intensive mothering demands of attachment parenting, anyone who hopes to enable women to achieve equal standing in their public pursuits will need to propose strategies for the means by which their care-giving work can still be accomplished. In this way, attachment parenting is a reminder that there is much work to be done to complete the 'women's movement' in our own time.

Match Preview: AmaZulu
24 October, 2020 |
Orlando Pirates kickstart their first steps in pursuit for league glory with an away clash against AmaZulu tonight, as football returns to Jonsson Kings Park Stadium.
The match is the opening fixture of the all-new DStv Premiership and kicks off behind closed doors at 20:15.
Since the all-conquering Buccaneers side of the 2011/12 campaign clinched the second of back-to-back Premiership titles as part of a famous double-treble, the Soweto Giants have fallen agonisingly short of hoisting the prestigious trophy on quite a few occasions.
After finishing second on two consecutive seasons, the Club overcame a rough start on their last attempt to clinch a respectable third-place finish.
Top spot will be on the agenda this time around, and it begins with a tricky start against an unpredictable Usuthu side, desperate to improve on their showing in the previous campaign.
Usuthu - now the oldest club operating in the topflight; had to dig deep in the latter stages of the campaign to avoid the dreaded drop.
Following an overhaul - with new owners, coach, plus a host of new players - the men from KwaZulu-Natal present somewhat of an unknown quantity, and the Buccaneers will be the first to find out just what they are capable of.
Bar the odd big-margin victory, encounters between these two sides have mostly been tight, with a single goal often the difference.
It was exactly the case when they last met, with Vincent Pule's sole strike giving Pirates the win at Orlando Stadium back in January.
In the past decade, it has been the Buccaneers who have been overwhelmingly dominant, winning seven of their last 18 matches with AmaZulu's solitary victory during this period coming over seven years ago.

The harsh reality of being a metal band from India
By Ali Cooper
( Metal Hammer )
Demonstealer, frontman of Indian metal band Demonic Resurrection, reveals the reality of trying to make it in a country where heavy music struggles to be heard
When you're a band from a country not known for its vibrant metal scene, it can be a struggle to keep your dreams alive on the big stage. For India's biggest name in metal, Demonic Resurrection frontman and mastermind Demonstealer (real name Sahil Makhija) his two decades in the metal scene have been a rollercoaster of success and downfalls – the former coming most recently when his band played a triumphant set at Bloodstock last summer. We asked the Mumbai mastermind what it takes to break out from the confines of an up-and-coming metal realm.
How did you first get into metal?
Demonstealer: "In sixth grade, a friend played me Iron Maiden's self-titled album. Running Free blew me away and I tried my best to comprehend what was going on in Phantom Of The Opera. It was quickly forgotten as I got more into techno and pop music over the next two years, until my school friends told me to stop listening to 'pussy music' and they gave me some Maiden and Metallica to try. This time, it really stuck with me and there was no going back – it's been about 20 years now."
What did your family think of your growing love for heavy music?
"My mother loved music, she listened to everything from rock and roll to soul and pop, her vinyl and CD collection was huge and I grew up around a lot of English pop and rock from the 1960s-onwards. My mum and dad took me to my first concert in 1994, which was Bon Jovi. When I got into metal, they had no issue with it even though they didn't really understand it; they looked at it as their parents looked at rock music when they were growing up. Sadly, my mother lost her hearing before I started making music so she's never had a chance to hear my music."
What was on offer for metal fans in Mumbai at the time?
"When I started becoming part of the scene, in Mumbai we had a yearly rock concert called Independence Rock at a lovely venue in the city, Rang Bhavan, where about 5000 people would gather. Most bands played covers and the audience didn't really want to hear anything else. We had live nights at the local club Razz Rhino every Thursday night where bands could book themselves and get 50% share of the gate entry. We had a rock magazine called Rock Street Journal from Delhi, plus we had a few music stores that stocked metal CDs and bootleg T-shirts, but at that time we had no idea what original merch even looked like."
How did Demonic Resurrection first come together?
"As soon as I finished school and picked up the guitar, I started writing music. In 1999, I'd decided to form a band and picked out the name Demonic Resurrection. I hunted for musicians for two years, namely a drummer, without any luck. In January 2000, I got fed up and was ready to get up on stage with my computer and Fruity Loops and play a show – by that I mean my actual desktop PC with that big television-size monitor. However, as fate would have it, I met an old school friend, Prashant Shah, who he agreed to play guitar with me. He brought along another guitarist, Aditya Mehta, and drummer Yash Pathak, then I asked a non-metalhead friend of mine, Farhad, to play keys."
How did the early years of DR go down?
"It was completely DIY because there was nothing. We organised our own shows at Razz Rhino, I learned to record music at home and recorded our first album in my bedroom. For artwork, I learned how to use software, manually burn CD copies and photocopied artwork with the help of my mum. We were 16 at the time so I didn't look at it as a business, but I always made sure we didn't lose money. Luckily, I had a drum kit at my house so we could rehearse without paying for a jam room, which didn't exist at the time. We used the internet to spread our music – forums and everything that was available to us. We were one of the few bands with merch, most others didn't even have proper logos."
What else did you juggle around DR?
"I worked in a recording studio learning on the job for a while, then moved on as an artist relations manager for a musical instrument importer. I've kept myself busy with side projects, an old school humour death metal band Reptilian Death, my comedy rock/metal band Workshop and, finally, my solo work as Demonstealer. Since there was nobody else to do things, I've been involved in most aspects of the scene. There were no record labels so I formed Demonstealer Records to release my own music and many other local bands, I even licensed international albums from bands like Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir. I started a small festival, Resurrection, which ran for six years and produced a free extreme metal magazine, The Resurrection Zine. I also offered a consultancy service teaching bands about the music business and I've written for magazines like Rolling Stone India and Rock Street Journal."
What's the biggest issue facing Indian metal today?
"Sustainability is the biggest issue for the scene now. There are too many bands, every metal kid is in a band and wants people at his show but he's not at anyone else's gig. The number of fans isn't growing in the same way the number of bands and shows are growing. Even if bands can't make a living playing music, it needs to stop draining money from their day jobs so it makes sense to do it long term. Otherwise, like most bands from the past, members eventually vanish."
What's been the hardest thing about the last 18 years in the band?
"Booking a European tour. I've tried for eight years but every tour that comes our way is not affordable. We play a style of music that isn't underground enough like old school thrash, but also isn't mainstream enough like modern prog metal. We're in a weird space where we can't find bands that fit well with us."
You've hinted heavily that your musical career may be drawing to a close. Why?
"The inability to tour and the constant rejection has worn me down. I've written to almost every metal festival and record label in the UK and Europe, but I've had nothing but silence or rejection. The worst part is I've asked for nothing but a chance, I've told labels that I'll work day and night to promote it, I'll invest money, make videos and content. I've had some help with the UK, we found a good agent who helped us fly over there in 2014 and also last year. However, you can't just do one UK tour every three years and hope to get somewhere, you have to tour constantly."
What would make you reconsider?
"Maybe if there's someone who is capable and willing to manage the band, or if someone can get us out on the road in Europe without me having to sell a kidney. Right now, anything we do involves the cost of session members, it was easier to climb the mountain when there were band members who were on board but now it's even harder."
So what's on your agenda in the coming months?
"I've got 340,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel Headbanger's Kitchen who want to see Keto recipes, so I'll be busy keeping those coming with the channel. I'm also hoping I can sell out all my existing CDs and merch from both Demonstealer and Demonic Resurrection."

Hello, Hello Everyone! It's been a while since I last wrote for you, but I'm back with GlossMagazineOnline.com and ready to share more fabulous features focusing on beauty, fashion and lifestyle, but this time more of my articles will be targeted towards my fellow mommies! As many of you may know, I just recently became a new mom and welcomed my first baby and love of my life, Noah Alexander Adams. For those of you who follow me on social media, you may have seen me posting updates and asking for prayers because our dear Baby Noah was hospitalized shortly after his birth. Because so many people were concerned with his health and well-being, and wondered what happened, I wanted to share his heartwarming story and my personal journey on becoming a new mom.
Marriage: How Young is Too Young?
Now more than ever it seems as though people are either getting engaged, putting up pictures from their wedding, or having babies. I can't open any of my social media sites without saying, "Oh (insert name here) got married, engaged, or had a baby."
For most teenagers and young adults, owning your first car offers a level of independence incomparable to many other experiences. So, there is nothing wrong with wanting the car of your dreams. But depending on your situation, there can be a difference in what you need versus what you want. To help ease the decision-making process, here are a few tips to consider when buying your first ride.
Adultery: The New 'It' Thing?
We now live in a world where adultery is not only considered entertaining, but it is acceptable. No, this isn't a statistic I found on the internet, but it does pose the question: does life imitate art or does art imitate life? ABC's hit drama, Scandal, is about a crisis management lawyer named Olivia Pope, who fixes political scandals in the Washington D.C-area. The plot twist to the show is Olivia's affair with the President of the United States. Don't get me wrong, I am a "gladiator" (frequent watcher of the series) and I am completely hooked on the melodrama, but I can distinguish between television and real life.
It seems that as you get older, the years start to fly. Just think about it. The year is almost halfway through! I feel like it was only yesterday that I was counting down the new year.
"Who is Kristin D. Williams?" was the question I was asking myself when I read a business spotlight on her on Rollingout.com. As I was reading the article on this young savvy business woman, I had a "light bulb moment" and said, "There's more to her story and I must find out on my own." As I searched, I found that Kristin's business (Fame Production Group) was based out of the Chicago-land area, I immediately researched her background, her niche and services, and instantly shot her an email. I knew that she was more than a pretty face: She was a BOSS and that GlossMagazineOnline had to get the full story. With clients such as Miller Coors Latino and Harvard Business School under her belt, Kristin is next up!

David Fitzpatrick has become the latest AFC Wimbledon prospect to commit his future to the club after he signed a new deal yesterday.
On the day that he made his third first-team appearance in the 1-1 draw against Cheltenham Town, Fitzpatrick (pictured) extended his stay with Wimbledon after an encouraging first season with the Dons.
An interview with David Fitzpatrick on signing a new contract is now on Dons Player.
With Will Nightingale, Ryan Sweeney, Ben Harrison, George Oakley, Joe McDonnell and Tom Beere having all signed up for next season after making their first-team debuts, Wimbledon now have a crop of young players aiming to be a part of the club's future moving forward.
Speaking during an interview for Dons Player, Neal Ardley said: "David has signed a new deal and he is another one of our young players to commit for next season. It is hard sometimes for lads when it does not work out for them at one club and they get picked up by another. They need to understand what is required at a new club and we have spent all season getting David to that point. He has taken it all on board and that is great. David is certainly a talent.
Exciting winger Fitzpatrick, who attended the same Richard Challoner School in New Malden as Will Nightingale, joined the Dons last summer after leaving QPR.

Closing Thought–25Aug22
We all have our opinion of what is happening in the state of Florida…..I would like to talk about the election that just happened….the rest can wait for a later post/s
First there is the representative that is under sex crimes investigation wins his….Matt Gaetz…..
Despite the federal sex trafficking investigation he's facing, Matt Gaetz easily won his primary Tuesday night in Florida. The Republican congressman had 67.5% of the vote with 92% of the vote in, NBC News reports. His main GOP challenger, former FedEx exec Mark Lombardo, had 26.3%. Gaetz went hard on campaigning as well as on ads, spending $1.1 million, and he was endorsed by former President Trump. The district is among Florida's most conservative; Trump carried it in the last presidential election by more than 33 percentage points. That means Gaetz is likely to be re-elected in the general, the Hill reports.
I am trying to wrap my head around the hypocrisy here……a Dem senator pretended to touch a woman's breast and he is forced to resign and yet someone that may well have committed sex crimes wins his primary.
Florida is the land to contradictions…..like that in Central Florida….
The US has its first Gen Z winner of a congressional primary, NPR reports. Maxwell Frost, a progressive activist, is at 25 just old enough to serve in the House of Representatives, and he won the Democratic primary to do so in a solidly blue district in Orlando, Fla., meaning he's also likely to win in the general election this fall. Members of Gen Z, born between 1997 and 2012, were able to run for Congress for the first time in this election, and Frost, who has worked as an organizer and activist with the ACLU and March For Our Lives, is one of the first to do so. At least one other Gen Z candidate, former Trump White House aide Karoline Leavitt, is also running in the midterms in New Hampshire, which holds its primaries next month.
Frost, whose campaign issues include the cancelation of student debt, stopping gun violence, Medicare for All, and Green New Deal, said in a statement following his victory, "Today's election is proof that Central Florida's working families want representation that has the courage to ask for more. I share this victory with the nurses, forklift drivers, teachers, caregivers, social workers, farmers, union organizers, cashiers, and other members of this vibrant community who supported this campaign." He'll face off with Republican military veteran Calvin Wimbish to fill the seat of Rep. Val Demings, who is running for Senate, ABC News reports.
It would be great to have another progressive in the House….but we need many more for a difference to be made.
Florida is interesting from a political perspective…..

Florida and Texas seem to be on the same path to secession. Florida has the tourist trade, Texas the oil industry. Let's see how well they cope if they split.
I would not oppose them leaving at all….one good storm they will be begging for our reinstatement…..thought…"Bite Me!" chuq
First of all you have to understand that the conservative side of the american politic has been moving more toward lawlessness for a long time now and it should come as no surprise to anybody that their favorite candidates for public are going to be either proven criminals or potential criminals. Just look at who their icon is.
Good points….this slide started gaining speed in 1980 with Reagan and it has never s;owed down. chuq
House of Heart says:
As a Florida native and lifetime resident what's happening in Florida is a direct result of radical white supremest having been invited to crawl out from under their Rock by the MAGA minions ( a direct result of electing an ignorant lawless showman for president In 2016 and allowed to create chaos with impunity) The naivety of the older ( retired) generation is shocking. The rednecks here we're begging for someone like DeSantis to come along to push the Maga agenda further. I was pleased to see that the latest polls show the # 1 concern of Americans is saving our democracy even in the light of a disastrous economy. Sadly, this once fine state is now the bottom of the barrel and has regressed to the era of Jim Crow.
Thanx for your thoughts….I live in Mississippi and Jim Crow is still the rule in politics…..hopefully that will translate into something good in 2024 for 2022 is not looking so good. chuq

Leave it to the Knicks to enter a noisy trade deadline with a front office on the hot seat
Ben Rohrbach
After years tailoring his plan to fit whatever narrative best excused the failure du jour, New York Knicks president Steve Mills earned another stay of execution, making coach David Fizdale the scapegoat for another terrible roster. Barring a midseason turnaround, the seat Mills has kept warm since assuming the position will only get hotter, which makes this trade deadline all the more interesting in New York.
The Knicks are 7-11 since interim coach Mike Miller took over for Fizdale, which has lifted them from a league-worst record to merely third from the bottom. Only team owner James Dolan can know if that is a satisfactory enough turnabout to extend his president's stay, but it seems as though Mills will get the chance to see the season through, and lame-duck executives make for a dangerous game in the NBA.
No team wants a desperate front office, because the potential for prioritizing incremental improvement over long-term success only increases when someone is looking to cash a few more checks before his time comes. It always comes, sooner or later, and multiple reports have indicated that it could come sooner than later for Mills, who made a habit of patchwork fixes long before his job was on death row.
Now, rumors are swirling around New York about the Knicks' thinking ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline.

According to various reports, the Philadelphia 76ers and both Los Angeles teams are among the contenders inquiring about Marcus Morris, the Minnesota Timberwolves are on the list of teams eyeing Dennis Smith Jr., and Bobby Portis is drawing interest, too. The Knicks have also entered the Andre Drummond sweepstakes, per multiple reports. According to Vince Ellis of the Detroit Free Press, the Pistons requested Julius Randle and Frank Ntilikina in a return package. A lot of irons are in the fire.
Per SportsNet New York's Ian Begley, opposing teams are under the impression Mills is seeking "starter-level players who can help the team in the short-term and in future seasons," while those close to the Knicks believe they are unwilling to include first-round picks in any deal currently on the table.
Drummond fits this bill. The 26-year-old All-Star center would be bound for the Atlanta Hawks if they were willing to part with a first-rounder, according to The Athletic's Sam Amick. Per Stadium's Shams Charania, the Pistons want picks or young talent in return for Drummond, who is expected to decline his $29 million player option for next season. According to Ellis, Detroit wants at least one asset back beyond the salary cap relief Drummond's free-agent departure would create. This may all be posturing.
Meanwhile, opponents believe Mills could score a late first-round pick or a young player with second-rounders attached for Morris, but the Knicks are considering him as a long-term solution, given his performance, leadership and reported willingness to stay beyond the one-year, $15 million showcase deal he signed this past offseason, per The Athletic's Mike Vorkunov. Again, posturing is a possibility.
The game is afoot, and New York has not won in some time. The best path forward is to salvage as many picks from the scrap heap the Knicks built this season, avoiding any cap restrictions in the process. That is what a front office with some security would do. Yet, they are entrusting Mills to navigate these waters with his own future serving as the undercurrent. You can bet everyone calling the Knicks is looking for a bargain, and which side would you bet on given those circumstances?
You could envision any scenario under the Knicks sun. Turn Morris into the pick that sweetens the pot in a package for Drummond, a New York native they can sign in free agency at no additional cost. Sell off spare parts, work around the margins, keep Morris and sign Drummond in the summer, making Mitchell Robinson — their most promising prospect outside R.J. Barrett — expendable. None of it sounds too appealing, and we will be back here again wondering how Mills spins this into next season.

La RKG-3 est une grenade antichars soviétique. Elle remplace les grenades RPG-43, RPG-40 et RPG-6 . Entrée en service en 1950, elle est encore utilisée par les insurgés en Irak et en Afghanistan dans les années 2000 et 2010. Elle est utilisée lors de l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie en 2022

Conception
RKG est l'abréviation de Ruchnaya Kumulyativnaya Granata (). La grenade dispose d'un levier autour de la poignée. Celui-ci est déverrouillé lorsque la grenade est dégoupillée, puis il s'ouvre une fois celle-ci lancée et déploie un parachute qui stabilise le vol de la grenade afin que celle-ci touche sa cible à angle droit, ce qui maximise ses effets.

La pénétration dépend du modèle. Le RKG-3 original utilisait une charge creuse simple pénétrant  de Blindage homogène laminé, Le RKG-3M  ; le RKG-3T , le RKG-3EM .

Histoire
Le RKG-3 a été mis en service en 1950. Quelques années plus tard, il a été remplacé par le RKG-3M puis le RKG-3T. L'amélioration du blindage des toits pousse les Soviétiques à développer le RKG-3EM plus puissant. Au début des années 1970, l'armée soviétique remplace cette grenade par le RPG-18, mais de nombreux autres pays et mouvements de guérilla utilisent encore le RKG-3 dans leurs forces armées.

Son utilisation nécessite d'être particulièrement proche de la cible, ce qui est risqué. L'arrivée de lance-roquettes antichars comme le RPG-2 puis le RPG-7 rend obsolètes les grenades antichar.

Elle a été largement utilisée pendant la guerre du Kippour en 1973.

Ulrike Meinhof a été blessée par un RKG-3 alors qu'elle s'entraînait avec l' OLP dans un camp d'entraînement syrien.

Des RKG-3 ont été largement utilisées par les insurgés irakiens contre les véhicules américains. La grenade se dissimule facilement sous des vêtements, son utilisation par surprise et à très courte portée ne laisse pas aux soldats de la coalition la possibilité de riposter. La tactique employée par les insurgés est de se dissimuler dans les foules et de jeter la grenade sur le dernier véhicule d'un convoi. L'utilisation d'un RKG-3 est montrée dans l'une des scènes du film American Sniper de 2014.

La grenade a également été utilisée par l'unité Aerorozvidka de l'armée ukrainienne lors de l'invasion russe de l'Ukraine en 2022. PJSC Mayak modifie la grenade sous l'appellation RKG 1600 : le temps de détonation est raccourci et des ailettes imprimées en 3D permettant de  stabiliser la chute sont ajoutées. Des images de grenades larguées depuis des drones commerciaux par les forces ukrainiennes contre les forces russes ont été mises en avant. Selon l'Ukraine, les grenades ainsi modifiées ont un coût de .

PCC publishes report calling for 'A Future Generations Deal' to avoid the ticking time bomb of youth unemployment and crime in the West Midlands
West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner David Jamieson has published a major report calling for 'A Future Generations Deal' to avoid the ticking time bomb of youth unemployment and crime in the West Midlands.
The PCC is proposing that job subsidies are brought in to ensure the next generation isn't facing a lifetime of unemployment and crime. David Jamieson is also proposing that there are transition funds put in place so those finishing an apprenticeship are able to continue their careers, as well as support for those who do not have access to digital devices that are crucial for distance learning, with chaotic school openings leaving some young people set to be out of the classroom for up to six months.
Without this significant support the PCC believes that we are set for a large rise in the number of young people who become involved in crime and exploitation, including through the county lines drugs trade.
To tackle the issue the report recommends putting in place measures to protect against a long term rise in youth unemployment.
Commenting on his new report West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner David Jamieson, said:
"I am profoundly concerned about the potentially devastating effect that the current Covid-19 crisis could have on younger people in the West Midlands.
"Most leading economic commentators are predicting a huge rise in unemployment; a hardship that our young people may have to endure for an unspecified period of time. The correlation between unemployment and criminality is well known.
"As the year progresses, we could see large numbers of young people find that there is no job for them and they may have very limited opportunity for paid employment once the lockdown is lifted. In my view, this is a 'ticking time bomb'. Many of these young people, particularly young men, could well be drawn into antisocial behaviour, which in some cases will graduate into serious violence and crime.
"I am also deeply anxious about girls and boys of school age, all of whom are missing a substantial part of their education due to the lockdown. Tragically, this means that some children will be missing at least 6 months of their schooling. Many, particularly pupils already struggling with academic expectations and/or those from disadvantaged families, may find it extremely difficult to return to their studies with the rhythm and work discipline that the school environment brings.
"Again, the concern is that some of these children will drift into the hands of organised criminals, into gangs or 'County Lines' operations, as we have seen so starkly with children who were excluded from school prior to lockdown. There is an urgent need to address the potential consequences, and this is why I am bringing ideas to the table for urgent consideration by the government, the police, the West Midlands Mayor and Combined Authority, local authorities, trade unions, the third sector and the business community.
"The social and economic cost of inaction at the current time could be considerable. After the furlough scheme ends, we will be paying vast amounts in unemployment benefits as well as potentially facing a substantial bill for the cost of increased crime. We need to use our limited public resources to best effect. This is why I believe we should ensure funding is shifted to encouraging employment, skills and knowledge development and economic activity, rather than funding the consequences of economic collapse.
"Ignoring the urgency of this problem would leave lasting damage for the young people themselves, and for our wider society."
The report from the PCC calls for specific measures to be put in place by government and regional leaders. Some of the measures include:
For young people out of work:
A New Youth Deal, based on the successful scheme in the late 1990s, where funding was provided for employers to provide entry jobs and training for young people.
A Post-apprenticeship Deal. The government needs to provide a package to ensure the investment in these new skills is not lost and young people's hard work is rewarded so they can continue long-term careers for the benefit of them and businesses.
A Youth Community Deal, to facilitate community projects to allow young people to showcase their skills through arts and cultural projects
A Further Education Deal, to help colleges reach out to young people with new virtual courses to give them the skills to set them up for the future.
For vulnerable children and young people:
A Youth Virtual World Deal, to help young people in school but out of the classroom access learning. Many poorer young people don't have access to their classrooms digitally and a package is needed to include them in education, to keep them away from the drug gangs.
A Happy Schools Deal, to ensure that those away from the classroom still have the pastoral support they need. This would be for both children and their families.
West Midlands Police Chief Constable Dave Thompson, is also supporting the report. He said:
"I've been working closely with the Police and Crime Commissioner to ensure plans are in place to deal with the effects on crime when restrictions are lifted.
"I share the PCC's concern about potential unemployment and its implications on crime. This is a useful report that will help West Midlands Police focus its efforts on protecting young people."
Commenting on the report, Youth Commissioner for Dudley, Emerson Hanslip said:
"At this time of uncertainty, what we need for young people is a plan for the future and how we will be supported.
"This report does just that. At a time of rising unemployment and a the country moving in an unclear direction it is important now, more than ever, that we have a roadmap to getting us back on track.
"I fear if we do nothing for young people coming out of this crisis, my generation could lose our careers before they even begin."
Mark Russell, Chief Executive of the Children's Society said:
"At The Children's Society we know that the current situation is making some children and young people more vulnerable, both to risks now and in the longer term.
"Planning ahead and preparing for the Covid recovery is crucial to help keep children safe. As this report recommends, a focus on providing positive opportunities for children and young people will be a vital part of protecting them."
The PCC is very supportive of the lockdown, and school closures, but wants to make sure that as the 'recovery phase' of the crisis approaches proper plans are in place for vulnerable young people and those at risk of becoming unemployed to avoid a Summer crime wave.
The PCC's report has been authored by Strategic Adviser Tom McNeil.
