Slang Terms and Code Words: a Reference for Law Enforcement UNCLASSIFIED Slang Terms and Code Words: A Reference for Law DEA Enforcement Personnel Intelligence DEA-HOU-DIR-022-18 July 2018 ReportBrief 1 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED DEA Intelligence Report Executive Summary This Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Intelligence Report contains new and updated information on slang terms and code words from a variety of law enforcement and open sources, and serves as an updated version to the product entitled “Drug Slang Code Words” published by the DEA in May 2017. It is designed as a ready reference for law enforcement personnel who are confronted with hundreds of slang terms and code words used to identify a wide variety of controlled substances, designer drugs, synthetic compounds, measurements, locations, weapons, and other miscellaneous terms relevant to the drug trade. Although every effort was made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information presented, due to the dynamics of the ever-changing drug scene, subsequent additions, deletions, and corrections are inevitable. Future addendums and updates to this report will attempt to capture changed terminology to the furthest extent possible. This compendium of slang terms and code words is alphabetically ordered, with new additions presented in italic text, and identifies drugs and drug categories in English and foreign language derivations.

  • 2013 Tippecanoe County Prosecutor's Office in the News
    2013 Tippecanoe County Prosecutor’s Office in the News December 31, 2013: Lafayette Journal and Courier Illinois man faces a dozen charges in credit card theft Written by Justin L. Mack A dozen felony charges were filed Tuesday against an Illinois man accused of using the personal information of two Lafayette women to obtain credit cards. Kemo D. Whirl, 39, of Wheaton, Ill., was charged in Tippecanoe Superior Court with three counts of forgery, three counts of theft, three counts of fraud, two counts of identify deception and one count of attempted theft. According to court documents, the investigation against Whirl began in June when a woman who worked for Riggs Community Health Center told police that several attempts had been made to open credit cards in her name. She also reported that in July, a U.S. Bank credit card had been issued in her name and sent to an address in Lafayette. The card was later used to make purchases at Home Depot and Target. Surveillance footage from both stores showed the card being used by a black male wearing a baseball cap. Further investigation revealed that the credit card was sent to the home of another Riggs official who held an administrative position and had access to the personal information of other employees. When questioned, the administrator denied all knowledge about the illegally obtained credit card. When shown surveillance footage, the administrator was reportedly able to identify Whirl as the man who used the credit card at Home Depot and Target. She added that he was a friend who stayed with her from time to time.

  • Living Knowledges: Empirical Science and the Non-Human Animal in Contemporary Literature
    Living Knowledges: Empirical Science and the Non-Human Animal in Contemporary Literature By Joe Thomas Mansfield A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield Faculty of Arts and Humanities School of English October 2019 ii Abstract In contribution to recent challenges made by animal studies regarding humanist approaches in empirical science, this thesis offers a critical analysis of contemporary literary fiction and its representations of the non-human animal and the human and non-human animal encounters and relations engendered within the scientific setting. This is achieved through a focusing in on four different scientific situations: cognitive ethological field research, long-term cognitive behavioural studies, short-term comparative psychology experimentations, and invasive surgical practices. Sub- divisions of scientific investigation selected for their different methodological procedures which directly dictate the situational circumstance and experience of non-human animals involved to produce particular kinds of knowledges on them. The thesis is divided into four chapters, organised into the four sub-divisions of contemporary scientific modes of producing knowledge on non-human animal life and the distinct empirical methodologies they employ. The first chapter provides an extended analysis of William Boyd’s Brazzaville Beach (1990), using Donna Haraway’s conceptualisations of the empirical sciences as socially constructed to examine how the novel

  • Gay Subculture Identification: Training Counselors to Work with Gay Men
    Article 22 Gay Subculture Identification: Training Counselors to Work With Gay Men Justin L. Maki Maki, Justin L., is a counselor education doctoral student at Auburn University. His research interests include counselor preparation and issues related to social justice and advocacy. Abstract Providing counseling services to gay men is considered an ethical practice in professional counseling. With the recent changes in the Defense of Marriage Act and legalization of gay marriage nationwide, it is safe to say that many Americans are more accepting of same-sex relationships than in the past. However, although societal attitudes are shifting towards affirmation of gay rights, division and discrimination, masculinity shaming, and within-group labeling between gay men has become more prevalent. To this point, gay men have been viewed as a homogeneous population, when the reality is that there are a variety of gay subcultures and significant differences between them. Knowledge of these subcultures benefits those in and out-of-group when they are recognized and understood. With an increase in gay men identifying with a subculture within the gay community, counselors need to be cognizant of these subcultures in their efforts to help gay men self-identify. An explanation of various gay male subcultures is provided for counselors, counseling supervisors, and counselor educators. Keywords: gay men, subculture, within-group discrimination, masculinity, labeling Providing professional counseling services and educating counselors-in-training to work with gay men is a fundamental responsibility of the counseling profession (American Counseling Association [ACA], 2014). Although not all gay men utilizing counseling services are seeking services for problems relating to their sexual orientation identification (Liszcz & Yarhouse, 2005), it is important that counselors are educated on the ways in which gay men identify themselves and other gay men within their own community.

Pedro Veral, Mr. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com International Bear 2006, on the cover of A Bear's Life, one of several Less a unitary social movement than an alternate mode of gay male identification, the magazines serving the Bear Movement has inspired an increasing number of organizations, events, Bear community. publications, and resources around the United States (and expanding overseas via the Courtesy A Bear's Life. Internet) dedicated to affirming and eroticizing large-bodied, hirsute gay men, known as Bears. Origins and Development Bear culture has its origins in informal "chubby and chubby-chaser" networks among gay men in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Big men and their admirers played a role in the increasing diversification and specialization of identity-based gay organizations in the mid-1970s. The first chapter of Girth and Mirth, now an organization with chapters in cities worldwide, was founded in 1976. The Bear phenomenon may rightly be seen as an outgrowth of this organization as well as the informal friendship and sex networks that inspired it. Bears, properly speaking, made their debut in the gay male collective consciousness with the appearance of specialty erotic magazines in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Bear magazine was the first to utilize the name. Like other specialty erotic publications of the period, Bear had its origins as a small-format, photocopied fanzine, which was later transformed into a full-sized glossy magazine produced by the commercial San Francisco pornography outlet, Brush Creek Media.

    Rally Panel Report 13/4/15 Prepared for: State Council Prepared by: Matt Martin, Rally Panel Chairman. 2015 Registrations 2015 Registrations as at 13/4. 2015 2014 2013 NSWRC 71 70 34 DRS 36 68 11 DRS4 26 (new series for 2015) ERS 3 11 2 RSS 68 58 6 PRS 27 (new series for 2015) Total 231 207 53 The Rallysrpint series continues to grow, with both new competitors and new events joining the series. After consulting registered competitors, the Panel has added a 7th round on 27/6/15 at WSID in Sydney. The discipline of Rallysprinting is considered strategically important by the Rally Panel, as it is our number one gateway event for new competitors. The State championship is back. The panel has devoted much energy and resources into this area, and the 2015 championship is showing great signs. Bega has returned for 2015, as well as a new event in Glen Innes, which saw 51 entries on 28/3/15. The panel is aware of another landmark state championship event which will most likely return for 2016, and are very excited by that. We look forward to releasing the 2016 calendar later in the year.
