The word exurb (a portmanteau of extra (outside) and urban) was coined by Auguste Comte Spectorsky, in his 1955 book The Exurbanites, to describe the ring of prosperous communities beyond the suburbs, that are commuter towns for an urban area. [4] In other uses the term has expanded to include popular extraurban districts which nonetheless may have poor transportation and underdeveloped economies due to distance from the urban center. [5] Exurbs can be defined in terms of population density across the extended urban area, for example "the urban core (old urban areas including Siming and Huli, where the population density is greater than 51 persons per ha), the suburban zone (old urban and new urban transitional zones including Haicang and Jimei, where the population density is greater than 8 persons per ha), and the exurban areas (newly urbanized areas including Tong'an and Xiang'an, where the population density is less than 8 persons per ha)". [6] The mixture of urban and rural environments raises ecological issues. [7] [6] Examples by country [ edit ] China [ edit ] In the deleted post on Reddit, Alex describes how the police found him after he broke into a house due to being intoxicated and sleepwalking. He also mentions his ‘sleep-walking’ is triggered by stress or alcohol. He describes how terrified the family that lived in the house was. Any person suffering from a mental illness such as psychosis, who knows they might get dangerous when abusing substances, can face tougher punishment in court if they do not take any prevention to stop it from happening. A kind Bulgarian man tried to help me initially at the police station who could translate, but once he left when he thought the police understood they needed to get a translator, the police didn’t get a translator after all. Instead they called the ‘women’s emergency line’ and gave me an English speaking woman on the phone who got angry I called because this ‘wasn’t an emergency’ because the abuse didn’t happen that day.

While I was on the toilet bleeding that morning after the abuse (see one of the conversations above where Alex and I discuss it), I found out through Facebook and ‘disclosure witness 1’ (see the next chapter) a friend of mine had died by suicide. He walked in front of a train.I'm medically proven not psychotic, but I am autistic. Meaning, telling my story and experiences with Alex, has been and is quite difficult for me. The last 4 years I've been learning how to communicate more efficiently; which is why I updated this article with the help of an amazing group of people who’ve been helping me these last few years.

In July 2019, Roelofs publicly supported 3 victims in a criminal court case, not related to her own, who all filed complaints against the same suspect. [15] Roelofs attended the court hearing in their criminal case and wrote an opinion article in De Gelderlander where she described the impact on the victims of the case, calling one victim "Jane Gelderland" (Gelderland referring to the province the case took place), publicly criticising the Dutch government for their negligence in protecting rape victims, while mentioning statistics in The Netherlands relating to violence against women. [16] After I tried to find help online at the 17th of October (2016) and again tried to forgive Alex, then the night of October 19 to October 20 (2016) happened. Perhaps the most crucial characteristic is that exurbs are still close enough to cities for the occasional commute, unlike their more rural peers. Public transport doesn't reach far enough to service exurbs, but residents can still get to the city when need be. For example, Kenosha County, Wisconsin is a 40-mile drive from Milwaukee. Residents of Fauquier County, Virginia are 47 miles from Washington, DC. And it's a 50-mile drive from Brown County, Ohio to Cincinnati.

Origin of exurbia

In 2015, redditor exurbia was active in r/nosleep. He shared a story ( mirror) about a girl named Alice who tortured her sister with a scalpel in front of their disabled father. Given he's been a redditor since 2012 and is a writer, and what you're about to read next, there's a big chance he saw the VOX synchronicity post in 2013 in r/nosleep and suspected keeping a 'synchronicity diary' could impact someone's mental health.

Fighting an online defamation campaign for 4 years, well. It’s absolute crap, I can tell you. Seeing people make out like your abuser is some kind of victim of you, is dehumanising. Alex knows he has the power to stop it but he’s not using it. I just hope that any of his fans reading this, realise the power they hold, to hold him accountable. If you are a fan of his: please consider your position and that you can help undo the harm he’s caused. For example, report any misinformation you find about the case online, and actually refer people to news articles. You can still enjoy the artist but also hold the artist accountable. a b Ren, Y., Wei, X., Wei, X., Pan, J., Xie, P., Song, X., Peng, D., & Zhao, J. (2011).

Also, I was drugged due to the hospital medication, but to ignore my naivety at the time would do no justice to the warning I want to give people: In the Facebook post below, where Alex started using an image in 2017 (definitely not to piss me off), you can see his friend Foxx (whom Alex at one point said was ‘waiting to kill me’) and his own mother joke about his alcohol addiction.Now, the Dutch government is violating my human rights to the point that multiple foreign journalists have been following me in silence - for months. When I got home safe after the Bulgaria abuse, I broke off ( mirror) the relationship with Alex in a Skype conversation. I recorded it because I was terrified of him and I had read online somewhere it was wise to do considering his abusive behaviour - so I had evidence. I had already told multiple ‘disclosure witnesses’ about what Alex had done, who all provided testimonies to court (Andy is just one of many).
