| Family › Effective Child Discipline by blueAgent(op): 8:59pm On Jan 11, 2016 |
You may have noticed that discipline is a
fairly controversial topic in our day. If you
watch a news digest program regularly, you'll
eventually see a story that somehow involves
spanking — either about someone who was
abused as a child or someone who is in
trouble for abusing their children. The subject
is almost always treated with suspicion or
even horror, as though anyone who spanks a
child is unenlightened and barbaric. It is
rarely presented as rational and frequently
portrayed in its extremes. And yet the Bible,
which quite a few of us still believe is true,
says things like "Do not spare the rod." How
are we to sort out the controversy and be
obedient to God?
Actions and words — it all goes back to those
two Hebrew words, yasar and yakach.1 The
concept of yasar is chastisement, and it
almost always implies something physical.
Proverbs 13:24 is clear: "He who spares the
rod hates his son, but he who loves him is
careful to discipline him." It doesn't say the
one who spares the rod has the wrong
opinion about discipline, it says he hates his
son. Proverbs 22:15 is also clear: "Folly is
bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod
of discipline will drive it far from him." A lot
of people may not like those verses, but the
Bible doesn't really give us the option of
picking our favorites and ignoring the ones
we don't like. These are part of the inspired
Word of God, and we have to approach them
that way.
Though spanking is controversial, I would
suggest that there are, in fact, times when
it's appropriate to spank your kids. I under
stand that for some parents, that's hard;
discipline is not for the faint of heart. You
don't need to spank very often, especially if
you do it properly and early in their lives. At
certain ages and in certain circumstances,
spanking is the most effective — and
compassionate — approach you can take.
For example, you may have told your nine-
year-old son that you don't want him
hanging out at the home of the kid who lives
three doors down. You know the parents are
often away and that alcohol is available and
guns aren't locked away. Say that God
graciously ordains, as He often does for
parents, that you drive by at the exact
moment your son is coming out of the front
door of that house. You make it very clear to
your son that if he ever does that again,
there will be an uncomfortable consequence,
and he knows exactly what you mean when
you say that. A couple of days later, you
drive by and see him coming out of that
house again. What do you do?
You have to follow through on your word and
impose the expected consequence. Children
go through various phases of rebellious
attitudes, such as talking back, lying, and
stealing, and even though they know where
the boundaries are, they'll cross them to see
what happens. When we as parents fail to
follow up consistently with firm, concrete
discipline, it makes our children very
insecure.
In one way or another, every child will fight
this battle with his parent. The earlier you
win that battle, the better, both for your
sanity and your child's. You can win it when
your kids are toddlers, or you can wait and
try to win it when they're teenagers. Victory
comes a lot easier when a child is two, and
it's more quickly accomplished at that age
when you use spanking, appropriately and
lovingly applied, to enforce it.
Using "battle" terminology when talking
about discipline may seem harsh to some,
but from all the psychological research I've
done, a clear and controlled spanking is far
less damaging to a child than the repeated
yelling and screaming a lot of parents go
through. It's also far less damaging than the
ambiguous boundaries and mixed messages a
lot of parents give their children. When a
child knows he's done something wrong —
something that is clearly forbidden — and is
spanked for that wrong, shown love, prayed
with, restored, and allowed to proceed with
a clean conscience, he experiences much less
trauma than the child whose parents don't
know how to enforce discipline.
In contrast, when a child is sent to her room
for a time-out, the measure of discipline is
more protracted. The message usually isn't
as clear, the resolution is often more
uncertain, and the opportunity to cleanse the
conscience isn't immediate. There's less
sense of closure. Sometimes it may be a
good first consequence when verbal
instructions are ignored — I don't encourage
spanking as a necessary first resort in every
situation, since a loss of privileges or a time-
out can often get your point across — but I
don't believe parents should be afraid of
applying physical punishment in a godly way.
The idea ingrained in some people that time-
outs are always better than spankings is a
false assumption.
I want to be very clear that discipline never
involves slapping or hitting a child. Anyone
who has a problem with this needs to get
help immediately. If you come from an
abusive background, the last thing you want
to do is continue the cycle with your children.
If that is your situation, let me strongly
encourage you to swallow your pride,
override your fear, and do whatever it takes
to protect your kids from physical abuse.
Also, remember it's never appropriate to
spank babies or toddlers younger than fifteen
to eighteen months of age. Even shaking a
very young child can lead to brain damage or
death.
Spanking — not slapping or hitting — should
always be done by a parent who is in control
of his or her emotions. In our home, we used
a wooden spoon to spank. My kids dreaded
seeing the wooden spoon coming, but they
never had to dread the hand of Mom or Dad.
Our hands were used exclusively for loving
touches, caresses, and hugs; an inanimate
spoon was the object of discipline. That may
seem like hairsplitting to some, but I believe
that in the psyche of the child, there's a
tremendous difference. Scripture makes a
strong case for the use of appropriate
spanking, and it also identifies an object (the
rod) as the tool. Some may believe that the
rod implies discipline of any kind. All I know
is that using an object fits with biblical
instruction, and I'm much more comfortable
reserving my hands for loving touches. 1 Like |

GenBuhari:for clarity sake. history of internet. not philip emawageli the scam Research into packet switching started in the early 1960s and packet switched networks such as Mark I at NPL in the UK,[18] ARPANET, CYCLADES, [19][20] Merit Network,[21] Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks.[22] The first two nodes of what would become the ARPANET were interconnected between Leonard Kleinrock's Network Measurement Center at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science and Douglas Engelbart's NLS system at SRI International (SRI) in Menlo Park, California, on 29 October 1969.[23] The third site on the ARPANET was the Culler-Fried Interactive Mathematics Center at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the fourth was the University of Utah Graphics Department. In an early sign of future growth, there were already fifteen sites connected to the young ARPANET by the end of 1971.[24][25] These early years were documented in the 1972 film Computer Networks: The Heralds of Resource Sharing . Early international collaborations on the ARPANET were rare. European developers were concerned with developing the X.25 networks.[26] Notable exceptions were the Norwegian Seismic Array (NORSAR) in June 1973, followed in 1973 by Sweden with satellite links to the Tanum Earth Station and Peter T. Kirstein's research group in the United Kingdom, initially at the Institute of Computer Science, University of London and later at University College London.[27][28][29] In December 1974, RFC 675 – Specification of Internet Transmission Control Program, by Vinton Cerf, Yogen Dalal, and Carl Sunshine, used the term internet as a shorthand for internetworking and later RFCs repeat this use. [30] Access to the ARPANET was expanded in 1981 when the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded the Computer Science Network (CSNET). In 1982, the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized, which permitted worldwide proliferation of interconnected networks. |

Southkorea adopted US capitalism and democracy with the help of US after the korean war and now they are one of the biggest world economy. Japan mordernised during occupation by US forces after world war 11 and it transformed it to a successfull nation. many countries are practising whiteman's religeon and culture and they are successfull or are making progress.singarpore,hongkong,middle east nations most colonized by britain. so US will prefer to fight a toothless country like Nigeria. when they are helping to build economic rivals like Southkorea, it does not make sense.

| Crime › Three Black Women Beat White Man To Death by blueAgent(op): 1:07pm On Jan 08, 2016 |
In a horrifying case out of Philadelphia, three Black women are accused of beating an innocent homeless White man to death — in front of their children — all because of a lie. And the media is virtually silent about it. Aleathea Gillard, 34, Shareena Joachim, 24, and Kaisha Duggins, 24, will go before a judge this week on murder charges Wednesday after a savage beating of Robert Barnes, a white homeless man who pumped gas for tips at a local Sunoco, in April. Barnes died Nov. 25 after being in a coma since the beating. According to The Daily Beast, the incident began with a lie by Gillard’s 10-year-old son, who competed with Barnes for tips at the Sunoco station in the North Philadelphia neighborhood of Olney. After arriving home late, Gillard’s son concocted a lie that he was late because he had been hit by Barnes. The boy had received some minor injuries when he fell off of his bike earlier in the day, and — stunningly — told his mother Barnes caused those scrapes and bruises. What the women did in response is truly horrifying, and if the races had been reversed, would no doubt be leading the headlines on your nightly news. The three women — in addition to three children, ages 12, 13 and 14 — went to the Sunoco station with, armed with a hammer, a chair leg and other implements they could grab before jumping into their minivan and racing to the service station. Gillard even brought her other children, 12- and 14-year-olds. They arrived at the Sunoco and immediately set upon to obviously surprised Barnes. The 51-year-old Barnes was beaten so severely that he lapsed into a coma after the assault. Conservative Tribune reported: Diane Barnes, Robert’s sister, found out about the attack when their stepbrother — a Philadelphia cop — called her and alerted her to the attack. “He told the ambulance driver that he was just jumped by five black girls and beat with a hammer, so he knew what happened to him,” Barnes said. “And then when he was brought to the hospital that’s when he fell unconscious from bleeding on the brain. barnes-coma. “At that time they raced him into surgery and removed a great portion of his skull to alleviate the pressure, and of course when I went in to see him, I just lost it,” she added. The three children pled guilty in Family Court to charges of aggravated assault and conspiracy in exchange for the dropping of attempted murder charges. However, murder charges are likely to be filed now that Barnes has died. The three women have been in custody since the attack. “I want this mother that did this, I want her to get the death penalty,” Diane Barnes said. “I really do, I just think it’s terrible what she did, she brought all those people down with her, she initiated it all,” she added. “And you know, she went there equipped with everything she needed to dox this.” [Source: Breitbart, Daily Beast, Conservative Trust)
