Troubles in Connecticut: Part 2: Ways to Help. Event of Newtown December 2012.

In the wake of the shooting at Sandy Hook in Newtown, Connecticut

There are ways that we can all help, from all locations.

• Be a good neighbor
• Bloggers and writers: post advisory that are sound in how to treat children of all ages
• Make it clear what is good parenting and what is bad; some young parents, if they do not know, might not know
• Be your brother's and your sister's keeper
• You don't have to spoil your neighbor with food for their kids when they do not have job of which could lead to a lack of motivation for the parent to maintain employment; but at the obvious levels, do not let conditions get to extremes, if your neighbor lost a job because the factory just burned down
• Develop the resources to provide good guidance to families

And there is a longer list

It is more than just donating money

Troubles in Connecticut: Reflections on the School Shooting: The Other Problems: Child Abuse. 12 21 12

This 12 21 12, is a day to get some things straight.
First, condolences to the victims of the school shooting tragedy in Connecticut.
This blog post is going to focus on Connecticut.
There was an incident in China involving an attack on young children; condolences to them also.  The lessons to be discussed herein have the intended scope limited to point to the Connecticut incident.

The school: Sandy Hook Elementary
Newtown, Connecticut
20 children killed, 6 adults killed [estimate]
12 girls, all ages 6 or 7 [est.]
8 boys, all ages 6 or 7 [est.]
[source: most Internet news stories]

First, without playing hide the hidden knowledge, it is well known that anytime a tragedy occurs that involves mass loss of life of children, it can be an indicator that there are other things wrong in the area.

One of those things that you start to look at, is what is the situation of child abuse in that area.

Which leads to, there are a number of things that need to be addressed concerning the overall condition of the State of Connecticut.

Not all of the matters that need looking into are presented here right now, or yet.  We will start with a table provided at: http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/cb/resource/child-maltreatment-2011

What has been done here, because the information might be hard to read, and requires computer software that everyone might not have, is put it on a graphic that is easy to see and understand, with a few notes.

What is obvious, as many adults stand forth with the request to do something about violent acts, let us hope that every single one of them is 100% clean in regard to how they treat their children.  If they are, good.  If not, please improve, and the same that are not showing face, that are doing the abusing.  CONCURRENT to EFFECTIVE REDUCTION of violence, is EFFECTIVE REDUCTION OF CHILD ABUSE.

From the online source, 'Connecticut Judicial Branch law Libraries':
Abused: “A child or youth may be found ‘abused’ who (A) has been inflicted with physical injury or injuries other than by accidental means, (B) has injuries that are at variance with the history given of them, or (C) is in a condition that is the result of maltreatment, including, but not limited to, malnutrition, sexual molestation or exploitation, deprivation of necessities, emotional maltreatment or cruel punishment” CONN. GEN. STATS. § 46b-120(7) (2012 Supplement).

For larger image, click and open in new window.  Snapshot of conclusions graphic placed above due to technological limitations.

For the 6 and 7 year old group, the statistics are somewhere around the average of 500 and 600 per each age, totaling about a 1000, a thousand, for the 2011 year.

This is what the tables seem to indicate.

The graphic, you be the judge:

Keep America number 1.

Praises. 12 12 2012 aka 12 12 12. Technology and Fiscal Cliff

12 12 12 a day of technology heights.  Have we done it?

We all know that yes, we have gone far, but, compared to where we could be, we could have been much further.

Referencing just what are some of the underpinnings, and their underpinnings of the financial challenges, that have almost 'got us'?

Could these problems been avoided, if certain actions or non-actions were carried forth?

What is being talked about here?/: Allocation for schools and education, INSTEAD of ______

This is amongst a few.  Another:
The real estate and house value dip, and lowering, if the effort to prevent it had more strength in the strong arm efforts so that it would never have been, could it have been avoided?

There is not going to be another 12 12 12 until 12 12 20---.  There will not be another shot to get on the track some say we needed some say we wanted to be on.

There will be other dates, 3 3 13 and 11 12 13 --just a thought.  Let's look to those historic dates as of now are in the future, at show at the level they are worthy of.


Volumes can already be written about the 'fiscal cliff' that we are dealing with as 2012 closes out.  Good that solutions have been developed.  However, the nature of a fiscal cliff, which in itself is not in some aspects a good thing, because we did have to take the time to deal with it and develop mechanism to face the challenge, warns us, that, in the future, if we are not ALWAYS AND CONSTANTLY working towards the best of economic conditions, that we could approach a next time, and if there is a next time, the situation might be worse.  Let us have it learned, and there will not be a next time.  There are goals that are more elevated in the light of the fiscal cliff should've never been.

Headline is Pushed to Include the Word 'Issues': Deceased Ambassador Stevens, Correlations; and Missile Strikes

Any time an Ambassador of the United States is killed as a rule, it puts Americans to the defense.  As an isolated incident, if Americans do not know anything about the personal life of the person, then there is a principal, just as if a piece of land was attacked, or an embassy {or consulate} with no one in it.

Pictures, of what appears to be moments just before or just after his death, show in the science that deals with physio-biological effects of certain thematic topics that might have been at thresholds of what was occurring to the mind --whether they were carried out in the practical level or not is another story-- might not be ones that are directly approved of by the people there, indirectly.

Whether he did, was, is, had a history of the behaviors, rumors circulating, so on so forth, that is not something that straight minded authors feel inclined to investigate into.

Rounding up, incidents such as what occurred surrounding Ambassador Stevens, puts a strain on two camps.

The level of security [i.e. embassy or consulate].  Was it lax? Or was it strong enough according to some technicalities, then deemed lax after the fact?  The bottom line is, whatever the level was, it did not result in blockading the attack.

All the way over in Washington DC, pointing the blame to senior level officials in business attire, may also have contradictions of laws that were set in place as long ago as the Founding Fathers, for a more extensive and complex set of reasons.

Positive directive in intention/ camp 1: is protective of the Embassy/consulate staff and the security team, comprised of positions that are close to heart

Positive directive in intention/ camp 2: protective of all senior level officials and ambassadors, embassy and consulate staff, notably those that are credited by some to be at the high echelons regarding the conditions of embassies

When camp 1 is so fueled about that aspect, it can have disagreements with camp 2.

Altogether, the abovementioned paragraphs hit upon issue 1.

Issue 2, without going into detail, as it is still early in the moments after the missile strikes that just occurred in Palestine to make a more comprehensive statement that is based on all the facts involved, is, how justified was the method of a missile strike, and how far it is or is not adherent to international rules of treatment of one another?

In the previous post, it was stated that missile were being fired as a generality, the type of strikes a separate subject, as what was going in the area, meaning Syria-Turkey border, Palestine, and Israel occupied areas.

Issue 3, is the 'name game', reference events like those surrounding the 'Innocence' film earlier this year.  The writing you are reading right now is a blog, not a report being officially submitted that requires investigations for word for word fact finding.  The name game is played by so many deviant people for many things.  Blog writers are going to make the effort to set the or their point, and little gambit strategies of perpetrators in the wrong doing does not detract from it.


Long term strategies looking back, -- ; short term actions ???

Syria and Turkey and Israel are Bombing and Missile Striking at the Same Time. Edited Post and Title on 9/17/2013.

An outrage:

Near and during the Hajj season

events which for some reason have not been gaining much headline news over here in the United States
 --there has been some, but ostensibly sporadic--, you have to look for it to find it,
the way it has been handled insofar coverage of the stories is already suspect;
because any other time when there is an opportunity to condescend the Arab world as a result of infighting, it is smeared all over every headline for every moment

Concerning matter, is U.S. troops are on 'just in case' standby status to get involved in Syria

Getting involved with Syria should not be looked at as just another situation, place and geographic region that application of military skill can be exercised

Getting involved in a place like Syria that has a historically many holy dimensions of it, might automatically result in whoever gets involved to be condescended in other ways by the Arab World

That is why hurrying to involvement, {is being talked about} nevermind coming up with a strategy to justify involvement that involves acting wry

Once again, over here in America, the press has to take time off from what they are doing to keep our homeland on the up and up, like repairing from Hurricane Sandy,

and pay attention to the build-up of a situation that is shame on the Arab World

Here is the list of a few:

• Syrian people are being killed
• Turkish people are being killed
• Akcakale
• Involved now are other countries voicing their positions, --does it help reduce casualty?-- remote string attached to 'in the picture', is what is being referred to here, Qatar is making statements according to news sites

And who said there is a Civil War going on Syria?

----Comments, edits, and revisions placed September 17, 2013 about this question asked here of 'who said there is Civil War?':
Included in the general definition of civil war, according to dictionaries in the U.S., is a war that is between citizens of the same country.
On a technicality, insofar whomever the following statement has as referent, are citizens of the same country,
   "We are in a state of real war, in every aspect of the words, and when we're in a state of war, all of our politics has to be concentrated on winning this war," President Bashar al-Assad told his new Cabinet during a speech about the economy and domestic issues in which he called for unity to make the country strong."

   Al-Assad: 'We're in a state of war'
   By the CNN Wire Staff
   updated 9:18 PM EDT, Tue June 26, 2012

Technicalities in consideration of all the facts, such as, are all parties fighting actually doing so fully in capacity as citizens of the country, and are they being impelled purely by motives that have to do with what is for the country, and their motive coming from, from the country, and many dimensions along this line, might result in depictions.

Is or was the state of affairs when this post was written, more accurately, war, and not necessarily civil war?

Assad said according to the source,  it is drawn from, "We are in a state of real war".

The source the statement it is drawn from, same source above, http://www.cnn.com/2012/06/26/world/meast/syria-unrest, did not verbatim say civil war.

The distinguishing of the source the statement is drawn from, from his exact statement, is to leave room for possible translations, dialects and colloquial meanings.

See for further reading at the bottom of this post, for more on the subject.

----September 17, 2013 revised statement:
Forthrightly what is being referred to here is the unethical misuse of violence and strife, for the purpose of further unethical violence.
----end of September 17, 2013 revised statement----

Cover stories here, there, then don't cover stories here, there, time it, okay, that's enough based on what's on the news, do something dangerously reckless, and get yourself and others hurt in ways far beyond what you've ever thought of before --that's what sits on the ledge of potential capable imminent to unfold

--like a bird sitting on the edge of a rooftop, waiting to...

And, Syria and Turkey are going back and forth, missile strikes, bombing, and at the same time, Israeli missiles are striking targets in the same area, these shots some press says are one in the same with warning shots

--low notes: is it a safe guess that Israel must be on Turkey's side, Turkey on the 'side' of Israel respective of the Syria situation, like in cartoons of soldiers meant for 7 year olds to watch?

Golan Heights area

All of this is just an initial inhale of the situation, not even an analysis or study of the situation

More in-depth studies might be provided in the upcoming future

'Since '73'
What about since the Ottoman Empire


Who else is sitting perched?

What Is Civil War?
Conceptual and Empirical Complexities of an Operational Definition

    Nicholas Sambanis
        Department of Political Science, Yale University

Abstract
"...Without ad hoc rules to code its start and end and differentiate it from other violence, it is difficult, if not impossible, to define and measure civil war. A wide range of variation in parameter estimates makes accurate predictions of war onset difficult, and differences in empirical results are greater with respect to war continuation."

2.
civil war
Definition
Armed conflict between a government and another group from within the same country.

http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/civil-war.html

What does 'from' in the definition here mean, when for example, if there are people in the country fighting against another party, but the former are not originally from the country, take for instance mercenaries, or trouble-makers?

3.
Over a 1000 people died, and at least a 100 from each side, point of scholastic assessments, in consideration; then, what were the time windows, for instance, over a 1000 people killed over the course of 500 years in a case of empires in Europe, the 1000 people averages to 2 persons per year;  is that rate, of 2 deaths a year, commonly perceived as civil war?

4.
Looking at the statement, "We are in a state of real war",
Who or what was being referred to, reference "concentrated on winning", winning over who, a group of fully recognized citizens in Syria, or a broader situation that extends beyond the borders of the country, or a combination of events, and angles such as these, or, these aside, what was said to who was being talked to, was the purview, whereat it is not appropriate to try to speculate inappropriately?

5.
Do terrorists comprise an entity that when fighting them, the fighting that emerges should be considered civil war?

6.
Based on what Syrian President Assad said in an interview with Charlie Rose within recent weeks thereabout, September 2013, included in what his regime has been contending with recently is Al Qaeda.

America * Move Ahead to the Light, in Consideration the 2012 Presidential Election is Over

Moving forward, moving ahead

Now that the Presidential Election of 2012 is behind us, --barring no post-election vote count commotion--, let not the vagaries of why the race seemed to be so tight, from psychological perspectives, distract America and Americans from the light that could be ahead.

And the same for disillusioned myth predictions and fairy tales of what America might undergo in the next few years; that we do not get distracted unduly for this thing.

Join us to make America a better place.

STRONG Recommendations in the Storm Sandy Aftermath: Solar on Street Lamps, and Uninterrupted Power Supply for Offices

Not to place anything above the loss of life, as there is a blog posting just previous to this one

Not to capitalize on loss of life, such as for monetary earnings

It is IMPORTANT
in the prevention of further loss of life,
and that there stands the possibility that some people that died could have been rescued, if:

The street lamps that lost lighting power due the storm, could still shine some light

A recommendation has been placed in ETIS International blogs before, to place some kind of solar panel mechanism attached to street lamps, at least in some places, so that

EMERGENCY CREWS CAN SEE WHERE THEY ARE GOING AT NIGHT.

VALUABLE TIME TO SAVE LIVES OCCURS AT NIGHT JUST LIKE THE DAY.

Unlit street lamps because a storm came through is a thing of the past, in the age of antiquity.

Uninterrupted Power Supply, also known as/ abbreviated UPS
of course can be used in offices which can be used for communicating and coordinating emergency efforts and management.  If the offices have no power, then how can they be used to make needed emergency calls.

You spot a stranded person in a flood from your office while looking out the window from your high rise office, condo, or apartment, and your cellular phone is not getting any signal; you can e-mail someone, or call using a phone attached to your computer, but you can't do that because your power is lost due to the storm...

It does not have to be.  UPS systems can keep power supply running for hours, just like a generator.  Make those valuable calls.  The next time a severe tide of weather hits, if there is a next time, instead of 39 lost, how about some other number, lower.

Well over 5 million power outages on the East Coast alone blamed on the storm named Sandy.  That could be turned around, and 5 million assisting with the assistance effort.

You can get UPS systems through ETISworld.com or ETISmart.com
