Informing and connecting businesses in New Jersey
State chamber, NJBIA, top businesses joining lawsuit fighting to protect DACA
By Anjalee Khemlani
New Jersey | Jul 26, 2018 at 7:25 am
Michael Ein
Several New Jersey companies and organizations have joined Attorney General Gurbir Grewal's fight to protect the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program.
Some of New Jersey's largest pharmaceutical and technology companies, along with both the New Jersey Business & Industry Association and the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce, have joined Attorney General Gurbir Grewal's fight to protect the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program.
The reasons cited in both an amicus brief and a suit Grewal filed in May are numerous, but they boil down to a significant negative impact on the state's economy if DACA were to end.
Among them:
As of March 2017, there were 22,024 DACA recipients in New Jersey, and 87 percent of that population is working, according to the Center for American Progress;
DACA-eligible individuals had a spending power of $679 million in 2015, according to Partnership for a New Economy;
The total estimated GDP loss to the state that would result from removing DACA workers is $1.6 billion, the fifth-highest dollar loss of all states, according to New Jersey Policy Perspective;
DACA-eligible workers contribute approximately $66 million in state and local taxes to New Jersey each year — the seventh-highest amount for all states, according to NJPP;
If DACA were eliminated, New Jersey would lose an estimated $21 million in annual tax revenue.
Grewal filed suit in May against Texas and six other states, which are arguing that DACA is illegal, in federal court in the Southern District of Texas.
Lowenstein Sandler filed the amicus brief Monday to join New Jersey in State of Texas, et al. v. United States of America, et al., on behalf of Audible, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Montclair State University, Prudential Financial, Sanofi US and Verizon Communications, in addition to NJBIA and the chamber.
Rutgers University President Robert Barchi filed a declaration to support Grewal's case in May.
The companies, in the amicus brief, support DACA and state that the contribution of their employees is irreplaceable.
The state's outmigration has been significantly buoyed by immigrants from other countries.
Statistics from the state show that, even though there was an outmigration of almost 55,000 people in 2014, the impact was stabilized by an in-migration of 51,000 people from other countries.
And they fill positions that are not, as critics often claim, being taken away from citizens.
NJBIA CEO and President Michele Siekerka said one of her employees is a DACA grantee.
"I can speak from personal experience. We hire for skill," she said. "We're hiring someone for the skill they bring to the position, and then they have to perform on the job.
"So, clearly, folks who are employed by New Jersey companies and are in New Jersey universities … clearly have a skill set."
And they contribute to the state through taxes, homeownership and shopping, Siekerka said.
Also misunderstood is the ability of undocumented immigrants to apply for Social Security or tax identification numbers — so, even if they are not recognized by the country, they are paying into state and federal coffers.
"And, of course, you have to have an I-9 (employment eligibility form) to work at any company in New Jersey," Siekerka said. "In order to have an I-9, you have to have proof that you are here in an appropriate manner, and DACA students are here in an appropriate manner."
New Jersey is home to an estimated 53,000 DACA-eligible residents and a total of 17,400 current, active DACA grantees, according to the attorney general.
Of the 53,000, about 15,900 are currently employed; more than 900 own their own businesses; 7,800 are in school; 5,600 are pursuing a bachelor's, master's or professional degree; and 12,650 have an American citizen sibling, spouse or child.
President Donald Trump's administration announced an end to DACA in 2017, but has been stopped by several courts.
"Dreamers (DACA grantees) are entrepreneurs, wage earners and taxpayers," Grewal said in May. "They have careers, own homes and cars, and have U.S. citizen children, siblings and spouses. We are on the side of right in this matter, because DACA is lawful, and we can point to a multitude of ways in which ending the program will cause the state significant harm."

Do you have to be an Orthodox Christian?
No. In the past up to 20% of our school body has been non-Orthodox. Some of our best students and most supportive parents have been non-Orthodox. We do ask that you make sure you can accept our vision and goals and are comfortable with our Orthodox milieu. Please read our handbook as well to be sure you are comfortable with all our policies. Also click here to read about Orthodoxy.
We tend to follow a traditional approach in that we emphasize good reading, writing, and math skills. We teach grammar and encourage formal presentation skills. Our curriculum generally follows the CA standards, though we have modified these to fit our own needs. The curriculum is constantly reviewed on a rotating basis.
Is the religion stuff a big part of it?
This question is asked quite often, and in those exact words! Each class might spend an hour a week on formal catechism, but our Orthodox worldview is what is important. We have daily prayers in the church (12 minutes) and attend a full church service about 10 times a year. Each class starts and ends the day with prayer. Equally important, our worldview affects our thinking and our actions. It is the prism through which we view our relationships with our peers and our teachers. It affects the way we think about history, art, etc. These effects may be subtle sometimes, but they are real.
Do you a have a music program?
Yes! We are fortunate to have a volunteer music teacher on staff. Each class studies music (ukulele, singing, recorder, boomwhackers, music theory, etc.). We also have a youth choir, and we put on a Christmas production and a spring musical each year.
We have four classrooms, an office, a beautiful, large multipurpose room, a play-yard with play structures, and two large asphalt playgrounds. We are able to use the public library for skills training and research and have an excellent working relationship with the librarians.
We have no separate program for gifted students. We do have opportunities for accelerated math, and we are open, after careful deliberation and within reason, to accelerating students in some, or even all, subjects. Our regular program is sufficient to challenge many such students.
Do you have an art program?
We do not have a formal art curriculum, but all classes do art regularly. Sometimes this is taught by the teacher and sometimes by a gifted volunteer.
What do you do for P.E.?
We play games every day—soccer, whiffle ball, etc.
How do your students do in high school and college?
Extremely well! They find it easy after attending our school. Students who have gone to Pacific Collegiate, an extremely highly rated college prep charter school, have made a comfortable transition. Our alumni include electrical engineers, R.N.'s, speech therapists and pre-med students.
Doesn't combining grades in one classroom make it difficult for students to work at the appropriate level?
Not really. In fact, it opens up opportunities for students to be part of math or reading classes most suited to their level.

ANIL UZUN Calls out UK Government to Save Music Industry
Oct 12, 2021 | Entertainment
ANIL UZUN calls out the UK government to take measures to prevent the effects of the trade deal with the EU on musicians.
LIVERPOOL, UK, October 12, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ — ANIL UZUN is a guitarist, independent music producer, musical arranger, event organizer from Turkey returning to the stage after the pandemic. Today, he urges the UK Government to take action about the negative impact of the EU trade deal on the public including musicians.
The Brexit deal triggered a lot of crises and now musicians are under threat.
ANIL UZUN says "We have all been patiently waiting for the crisis to be solved but no talks have taken place since December. There are still a lot of barriers for the musicians to perform their art. The trade deal prevents new artists from coming to Europe without visa or special permit. Not only the musicians but also crews and support staff are affected economically."
Critically acclaimed musicians do not face obstacles. But the damage will be on the next generation of musicians and emerging artists.
"I feel really sad when I think about young people who can't even start their career due to the financial and logistical obstacles." he continues.
Who is ANIL UZUN?
ANIL UZUN is a guitarist, music producer, and teacher from Turkey. He was born in 1982, and he started playing music in his grandfather's home with his childhood friends. In high school, ANIL UZUN formed a rock band with his fellow friends. He made performances in school concerts and youth festivals. Today, he works as an independent musical arranger, event organizer, and producer. He continues to cherish his music and tries to give a legacy to his beloved daughter.

Your team would then enter the League Championship with 20 Ranking Points (i.e., 2 RP per win) plus whatever number of TieBreaker Points you earned in your top 10 matches. Your team will earn further RP and TieBreaker Points at the League Championship, and your team's ranking at the end of the League Championship qualifying rounds will be the total of the RP and TieBreaker Points that you started the day with plus the RP and TieBreaker Points that you earn in the qualifying rounds of the League Championship.

Q: MGWT Web App won't redirect back from login page in iphone full screen mode I have created a web app using MGWT that uses GWT-oauth2 to login at Google.
Everything works fine running in standard iOS Safari but when a user does a "Add to Home Screen" and relaunches the app without the address and buttons bars a it won't redirect back from Google's login window after login. It only shows is a blank, white page.
I use Google API Console (Access) for the redirect:

A: We just stumbled upon a similar, possibly exactly the same issue with GWT. GWT does not recognize the browser at all in full screen (mobile web app) mode as Safari and fails to load the proper permutation (it tries to load the 'undefined' permutation). We suspect this may have something to do with the user agent being different in that mode. See:

In November I had a wonderful opportunity to sail on the newest and largest ship in the world - Royal Caribbean's "Harmony of the Seas", their third "Oasis Class" mega ship on her debut voyage to the US. Wow! We had a spacious inside cabin with inviting decor and a new innovation, continuous outside real-time video feed into our "virtual balcony". I was able to inspect almost every cabin category, up to the largest suite, all very impressive, beautifully appointed and comfortable. This amazing floating city has everything to keep the entire family entertained. Seven "neighborhoods" including Central Park, Boardwalk, Royal Promenade shopping and dining, Entertainment Place, Youth Place, Vitality Sea Spa and a state of the art Fitness Center. Amazingly, you don't feel like one of over 5000 passengers on board this massive cruise resort. Three water slides, two rock climbing walls, two surf simulators, an ice skating rink, a zip line and a 10-story spiraling dry slide, can add to your cruise adventure. Three big pools, lounging areas, an adults-only solarium space, a beautiful spa and continuous live music help one wind down and relax. Entertainment was fantastic with shows like "Grease", an amazing water theater show, comedy, jazz, a casino, dancing and much more. And the food! Dining in the dining rooms, specialty restaurants, buffets or just grabbing a burger or pizza: there is an abundance of places to eat and a mouth watering selection of never-ending fine foods. I can't wait to go again and would highly recommend this family type cruise to my clients, in a heartbeat!

Official reveals $44 billion budget for U.S. intelligence
Mary Margaret Graham, the deputy director for national intelligence collection and a 27-year veteran of the Central Intelligence Agency, revealed the annual budget for U.S. intelligence: $44 billion. The apparent slip occurred during a talk Graham was giving at a San Antonio conference on Oct. 31. The disclosure of the number, reported in the Nov. 14th issue of U.S. News and World Report, marked the first time the figure has been revealed since 1998, when the figure was almost half its current figure, at $26.7 billion.
Steven Aftergood, the director of the Project on Government Secrecy at the Federation of American Scientists and a secrecy expert, and his group have led efforts to sue for the disclosure of the budget on four different occasions. He relayed in an interview that this is only the third time since 1947 (the year of the CIA's inception) that the intelligence community has revealed its spending. In 1997, George Tenet, then the director of the CIA, compelled by the lawsuit brought by Aftergood's group under the Freedom of Information Act, made public that year's budget: $26.6 billion. The budget was again revealed in the following year, but in 1999, Tenet reversed the policy, and budgets have since remained classified with support from the courts.
Currently, the Senate has signed off on a provision presented by Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) that would strip the security clearances of any government official, including those in Congress and on House and Senate staffs, who intentionally discloses national security secrets. A request for a roll call vote was avoided when senators Lautenberg and John Warner (R-VA) compromised, and instead, an unusual parliamentary procedure called a "standing division" was implemented to approve the addition of the provision to the defense bill. Senator Lautenberg could still have requested the "yeas and nays" -- a roll call vote. In this procedure, senators in the chamber at the time rise to denote approval. The Associated Press reports that Democrats accused the Republican refusal of a roll call vote to be a reflection that they did not want to go on record in favor of the provision, while the Republicans blamed time constraints and said that they did not want to inconvenience senators preparing to leave town for Veterans' Day.

Maintaining compliance to ivermectin in communities in two West African countries. (1/88)
We have investigated various aspects related to managing wide-scale ivermectin distribution schemes within randomized controlled trials in communities where onchocerciasis is endemic. Multiple logistic regression analysis of determinants of compliance to five doses of ivermectin in 589 people in Sierra Leone showed independent significant associations with leopard skin depigmentation, the severity of side effects of treatment, fulfilling the exclusion criteria for treatment, and long-term residence in the community. These results are useful for tailoring health promotion messages in Sierra Leone, but the associations may differ in other West African societies. In Nigeria 1847 people were interviewed about various subjective responses, including itching. None of these showed clear improvement after three years of ivermectin treatment. Positive comments about treatment were generally non-specific and similar in the placebo and ivermectin groups. Negative comments were usually related to adverse reactions, especially itching and rash, and were more common after ivermectin. The lack of any benefit attributable to ivermectin that is discernible to its recipients may make it difficult to maintain the high compliance rates needed for long periods if mass dosing programmes are to have a lasting impact on onchocerciasis. In addition, no consistent effects of ivermectin were found by measuring visual acuity, height, weight or haematocrit in comparison with placebo. This may indicate that evidence of clinical impact is very slow to develop and is hard to measure using simple objective methods after only three doses of treatment. At present it seems that parasitological, entomological and detailed ophthalmological or dermatological methods are required to demonstrate the impact of ivermectin treatment in the medium-term.

Phenotypic and genotypic characterization of Mycobacterium africanum isolates from West Africa. (2/88)
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex includes M. tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. africanum, and M. microti. Most clinical isolates are M. tuberculosis or M. bovis. These species can be distinguished by phenotypes and genotypes. However, there is no simple definition of M. africanum, and some authors question the validity of this species. We analyzed 17 human isolates from Sierra Leone, identified as M. africanum by biochemical and growth characteristics. We sequenced polymorphic genes and intergenic regions. We amplified DNA from six loci with variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs) and determined the exact number of repeats at each locus in each strain. All M. africanum isolates had the ancestral CTG Leu at katG codon 463. Drug-resistant M. africanum isolates had katG and rpoB mutations similar to those found in drug-resistant M. bovis and M. tuberculosis. Fourteen Sierra Leone M. africanum isolates (designated group A) had katG codon 203 ACC Thr, also found in M. africanumT (the T indicates type strain) from Senegal. Group A isolates clustered with M. africanumT by VNTR analysis. Three M. africanum isolates (group B) had katG codon 203 ACT Thr, found in M. tuberculosisT, and clustered with M. tuberculosisT by VNTR analysis. Phenotypic identification of M. africanum yielded a heterogeneous collection of strains. Genotypic analyses identified a cluster (M. africanum group A) which included M. africanumT and was distinct from the rest of the M. tuberculosis complex. Future studies of M. africanum should include both phenotypic and genotypic analyses. (+info)
Use of the complement fixation (CF) test in Lassa fever surveillance. Evidence for persistent CF antibodies. (3/88)
A survey to detect individuals with antibodies to Lassa virus was undertaken among hospital personnel in the eastern and southern provinces of Sierra Leone late in 1974. Sera were evaluated by the complement fixation test. The data obtained showed that some contacts of Lassa fever patients in the 1972 epidemic had developed antibodies to the virus; individuals who had never reported being sick also showed evidence of infection, with significant CF antibody titres in their sera. Surviving Lassa fever patients from the 1972 epidemic still had easily measurable levels of persisting CF antibodies. The significance of these data is discussed; in addition it is recommended that the CF test should continue to be the method of choice in mass surveys for this virus disease until other tests can be developed.

Lassa virus infection in Mastomys natalensis in Sierra Leone. Gross and microscopic findings in infected and uninfected animals. (4/88)
Pathological examinations of 28 wild-caught Mastomys natalensis from Sierra Leone, 14 of which were positive for Lassa virus by tissue culture, are reported. The high frequency of neoplastic and degenerative diseases observed among older animals in closed colonies of M. natalensis were not observed in the wild animals studied. This is probably a reflection of the age distribution of the study population, since the life expectancy of wild Mastomys is less than a year. Inflammatory lesions were nonetheless identified, some of which were similar to those described in laboratory colonies. Frequent lesions were myocarditis (54%), myositis (32%), interstitial pneumonitis (50%), intercapillary glomerulosclerosis (36%), and acute nephrosis (14%). Follicular and nodular lymphoid hyperplasia were evident in the spleen (74%) and Peyer's patches (64%). Lymphoid cell accumulations were prominent in the salivary glands (36%), periportal hepatic region (25%), lungs (32%), perivascular regions (36%), and kidney (21%). Cytomegalic inclusion body sialoadenitis was common (25%). Coccidiosis was evident in the intestinal tract (25%), kidney (25%), and muscle (21%). One neoplasm, a parahepatic haemangioma, was observed histologically.Mean body weights and lengths for virus-positive animals (33 g and 9.2 cm) and virus-negative animals (54 g and 12.2 cm) showed that virus-positive animals were smaller in weight and shorter in length. Since the age of the animals could not be determined, these differences remain unexplained.In comparison with virus-negative animals, virus-positive Mastomys had higher frequencies of splenic follicular hyperplasia (82% against 50%), myocarditis (79% against 29%), perivascular lymphoid cell accumulation (57% against 7%), myositis (50% against 14%), and cytomegalic inclusion body sialoadenitis (36% against 14%). The frequency of lymphoid hyperplasia of Peyer's patches was high in both groups of animals (71% and 57%).The presence of Lassa virus, small size, myocarditis, and lymphoid perivasculitis appeared to be interrelated, but larger and better controlled studies are required to elucidate the relationship.

Genetic characterization of wild-type genotype VII hepatitis A virus. (5/88)
The complete genome sequence of the only identified genotype VII hepatitis A virus (HAV), strain SLF88, was obtained from PCR amplicons generated by a modified long PCR approach. There was 90% nucleotide identity in the 5' untranslated region compared to other known HAV sequences. In the remainder of the genome containing the long open reading frame, there was about 85% nucleotide identity to human HAV genotypes IA and IB and 80% identity to simian HAV genotype V. Compared to HAV strain HM-175, the capsid amino acids were highly conserved, with only four homologous amino acid changes, while an increasing number of amino acid differences was seen in the P2 and P3 genome regions. While nucleotide variability within the three functional coding regions did not differ, the P3D region was found to have the largest number of amino acid changes compared to HM-175. (+info)
Behcet's disease in patients of west African and Afro-Caribbean origin. (6/88)
AIM: To report the presence of Behcet's disease with ocular involvement in patients of west African or Afro-Caribbean origin. METHODS: Case series of eight patients reporting to a tertiary uveitis service. RESULTS: Eight patients with typical features of the disease are presented. Six of the eight patients were tested and found to be HLA-B51 negative. CONCLUSION: Behcet's disease has only been reported in sporadic case reports in the indigenous west African and Afro-Caribbean populations, in whom the incidence of HLA B51 is also very low. A series of patients from the London region presented with the typical symptoms and signs of disease, most of whom were also HLA B51 negative. The presence of disease in this population, when absent in the indigenous population, suggests either that ascertainment of disease is poor in the indigenous population or that acquired factors may be important in the aetiology of the disease. (+info)
The food of Near East, North West and Western African regions. (7/88)
Among the countries that can be classified as Near East Africa, North West Africa, and Western Africa, there is a great diversity of foods and dietary patterns. Prevalence of undernourishment as defined by FAO using dietary energy supply data, varies dramatically among these countries, with Tunisia in the lowest prevalence category (<2.5%), and Sierra Leone in the highest prevalence category (>35%). Throughout the 1960's, the dietary energy supply of North West African and Western African countries was similar. However, since the 1970s a great and consistent improvement has been seen in North and North West African countries. Both the proportion and number of undernourished in North Africa is now very similar to that of North America. Oil use, energy from fat, and protein from plant versus animal sources account for a large part of the food pattern differences between countries in these regions. Using Tunisia and Sierra Leone as examples again, dietary diversity as measured by the percentage of energy from foods other than starchy staples, is about 50% in the former, while in the latter, it is only 36%. Fatty fruits such as olives, cocoa and palm fruit have a special role in both the diet and the economies of the region. (+info)
Evidence basis for antimalarial policy change in Sierra Leone: five in vivo efficacy studies of chloroquine, sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine and amodiaquine. (8/88)
OBJECTIVES: To provide nationally relevant information on the antimalarial efficacy of chloroquine (CQ), sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) and amodiaquine (AQ) in Sierra Leone, with a view to updating antimalarial policy in the country. METHODS: Between October 2002 and May 2003, standard WHO methodology for in vivo efficacy assessment was used in five sites to study the therapeutic response of 6-59 months old uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria cases treated with CQ (n = 247), SP (n = 353) or AQ (n = 434). Follow-up was of 28 days, with polymerase chain reaction genotyping to distinguish late recrudescences from re-infections. RESULTS: Overall 85.3% of patients reached an analysable endpoint. CQ failure proportions were very high, ranging from 39.5% (95% CI: 25.0-55.6) in Kabala to 78.8% (65.3-88.9) in Kailahun. Early failures under CQ were frequent. SP efficacy was also disappointing, with failure from 23.2% (13.9-34.9) in Kabala to 46.1% (35.4-57.0) in Kailahun. AQ resistance was more moderate, ranging from 5.4% (1.8-12.1) in Makeni to 29.8% (20.3-40.8) in Kailahun, with almost no early failures. AQ also provided more rapid fever and parasite clearance. CONCLUSION: In a consensus meeting organized by the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, and based on these findings, artesunate (AS) + AQ and artemether-lumefantrine (Coartemtrade mark) were identified as the only options to rapidly replace CQ. The choice fell on AS + AQ because of expected high efficacy, lower cost in a blister presentation, and the absence of safety data on artemether-lumefantrine in pregnancy. Donor support is required to support this policy change. Throughout Africa, as SP resistance increases, these two regimens are probably the only options available while newer combinations are developed. Efficacy studies should focus on testing AQ and AS + AQ. (+info)

EPILEPTIC FOX & RADIOACTIVE CARROT.
Well my dear ladies and occasional gentleman, I expect you are wondering how our ladies lunch went. Veronica did enjoy the soup, well she did finish 10 minutes before myself and Ronald, which is a good indicator and the accompanying warm roll was also enjoyed. I must say myself it was delicious.
We had many exciting things to discuss such as our plans for 2014.
Ronald kept us supplied with tea and coffee in between looking for his sponge. He stopped to update Veronica on the state of his allergy and expressed his concerns saying "I might go into EPELEPTIC FOX" Veronica looked confused until she realised he meant ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK at which point she collapsed into hysterics laughing so much her mascara ran, not a good look.
I am used to Ronald's little foibles but he does make me laugh.
Then Morello turned up what a lovely surprise and proceeded to colour my hair. The reason being her older sister Sabina visited two weeks ago and coloured my hair for me unfortunately I had gone from being a light golden brown to RADIOACTIVE CARROT colour. So for the past fortnight I have been wearing a lot of hats!

A daily walk in learning to have a little faith.
A while ago hubby watched a movie one night when he couldn't sleep. Me – I was of course so far in zzz land that I don't think I knew that he was even up that night. The next morning, he told me of a movie that he watched and how much he enjoyed it and that he thinks I should watch it.
And so last night I did.


If she has dismissed them as pointless, is it now a pointless marriage?
Alot of the time it does seem that way,as ive already said, her bff seems to be more important than me, but here is one thing that grates me, had they been friends since childhood i'd get it and could have no complaints, but they haven't. They didnt meet eachother until we had moved to the same town. And we had been together 3 years by then.
Ultimatums don't work unless you mean them!
So you have to be serious in saying that if she does not accept specialised counselling for childhood trauma, your marriage is over.
In life, we get the behaviour we put up with.
You're putting up with her behaviour, so she isn't going to change. NOTHING will change until you put your foot down.
Right now, I would say that you are 'enabling' her, rather than 'supporting' her. The latter is focussed on getting the person to a 'better state', the former merely allows them to stay where they are.
So you have to make there be 'something in it for her' - and not 'just' the 'better her' that you know that she COULD be, with counselling/therapy/healing etc etc - but which she, in the depths of her misery, can't believe in (or perhaps, doesn't want to face the 'pain' of getting to that better state, eg, 'raking it all up again').
You have to 'engage her will to change' by REMOVING something from her she values - ie, you.
It's going to be hard to challenge her, AND carry out your ultimatum if she defies you (she will - she will do her DAMNDEST to 'get you back in line') (very typical behaviour, highly manipulative, but it is the 'illness' doing that, 'taking her over' etc etc).
Personaly, I would suggest that YOU get some counselling first, on how best to approach this, and tackle her, and see it through - either to her 'improvement' or for you calling time on a marriage that is increasingly 'pointless to continue with'.
If you don't, how will things be in two years time, in five, in ten, in twenty? Look ahead, and realise that if you don't take action now, the future is bleak for you, as well as her.
PS - I would say you've taken the first and most important step in your 'change her behaviour' programme. You've started to describe it, analyse it, talk about it.
Next is action! Like I say, I think counselling for you first, a plan of action, and then put it to her - endure the 'fireworks' reaction, but stick with it.
Have you ever confronted her toxic friend, by the way? Time she 'wised up' about how 'damning' her 'friendship' is to your wife!
Yes, you will get the repeated 'brush offs' - you are poking at wounds, and though draining those wounds of the pus that has been fermenting away all her life, since the abuse, is the only way to heal those wounds, of course it is painful for her to have them poked!
I hope I haven't thrown too much at you! It's all too easy, folk like me, tap tap tapping away at keyboard, to chuck in my five quid's worth of 'What you should do, is this...' (!), but not only is that just 'random advice' but also it's far easier to hand out advice than to take it and carry it out.
It won't be a straightforward battle for you - and there wil lbe set backs etc etc. But if you can keep your eye on the goal - a happier wife, a happier you, happier children, happier marriage and family all round that CAN or at the very least COULD be achieved, then even if sometimes the whole thing goes crashing in to reverse, providing the 'collapse' is not 'back to square one' but only to 'square two', then the journey is worth it.
Your wife is a sad, scared woman, but she has you by her side WHILE she is hauling herself out of her black pit, and that will make a marriage worth while. If she truly refuses to even try, then I think at that point you have to 'walk', for your sake, and your children's.
I do think getting counselling of your own will help. Do check out some of the forums and sites for the victims of childhood abuse (both physical and sexual) - there's quite a few up there on the Internet, and it might really help you to get a handle on this, and how best to get your wife into the treatment she needs, but fears. And surely it would help her to know that there are others who have been victims, AND 'made good their lives' all the same.
As I say, if she 'goes under' then her abuser wins twice over.
PS - would it help you to make a list of all the 'good things' about your wife and your marriage. That helps to keep the account sheet in balance on the plus side, as well as the minus side.
If you can get out photos of 'happy times together', and list some of the 'good memories' that would surely help.
PPS - are you saying, by the way, that the abusive uncle was at your wedding???????? (Who else did he abuse, by the way- family members? Anyone your wife still knows? Would it help for 'all of them' to get together, with supportive partners now hopefully, to put heads together. Even if they jointly decide not to push for prosecution, it might help 'exorcise' what he did to them? You and they might even want to 'jointly confront him' and even if not actually going the lengths of GBH etc (!), you could certainly 'give him a hard time' verbally, if nothing else. Does he admit what he did? Or just 'pretend it never happened'???????
Did it to his own as far as i know , dirty nonce ba*tard.
Hmm, what has happened with her abused cousins then? Firstly, have they got the same mental illness problems as your wife, or did they fare better/worse. Secondly, have they had counselling (ie, specialist abuse trauma counselling) and if so, how are they.
Do any of the cousins (ie, your wife included) ever talk to each other these days?
Don't worry too much about feeling 'ranty'. I always say we each have a 'stress bucket' inside us, and if we fill it up, and up, and up and up it either overspills or springs a leak. The worst is if it catastrophically 'shatters' and precipiatate as total breakdown.
Better for it to 'overspill' in 'local rants' etc.
