    PARC Prisoner Resource Directory - Last Updated April 2014 1 Core Volunteers B♀ (rita d. brown) Greetings, April 2014 Pat Foley Scott Nelson Welcome to the latest edition of the PARC Prisoner Resource Directory, which has been fully updated as of April 2014. We wish to thank those readers who have written back this past year with letters Sissy Pradier and stories and who have returned our evaluation form, as this allows us to get a better idea of the true Penny Schoner readership of the directory and let us know which direction to take when adding new categories or information. Special thanks again to those who pass on the directory – according to your reports, our Taeva Shefler resource directory is widely circulated and viewed by an average of 15 or more people. Mindy Stone Starting with this edition we have reorganized many resources that were formerly listed in individual categories into a state-by-state listing. Thus for instance, the former entries for Innocence Projects, Prison-Based College Programs, and Family & Visiting Resources are now listed in the Community corresponding state in which the organization is based or primarily offers its services. Our other categories Advisory Board with listings affecting prisoners on a nationwide basis will continue with their own sections, such as Women’s Organizations, Death Penalty Resources, and Religious Programs / Spiritual Resources. B♀ (rita d. brown) Rose Braz PARC also has been closely following the ongoing federal lawsuit over cruel and unusual conditions in California’s security housing units (Ashker v Brown, 4:09-cv-05796-CW), which was filed jointly Angela Davis by the nationally-recognized Center for Constitutional Rights, Oakland-based California Prison Focus, and San Francisco-based Legal Services for Prisoners with Children.

  • Texas Public Safety Threat Overview 2017 (PDF)
    UNCLASSIFIED LAW ENFORCEMENT SEN Texas Public Safety Threat Overview A State Intelligence Estimate Produced by the Texas Department of Public Safety In collaboration with other law enforcement and homeland security agencies January 2017 1 UNCLASSIFIED UNCLASSIFIED Executive Summary (U) Texas faces the full spectrum of threats, and the state’s vast size, geography, and large population present unique challenges to public safety and homeland security. Texas employs a systematic approach to detect, assess, and prioritize public safety threats within seven categories: terrorism, crime, motor vehicle crashes, natural disasters, public health threats, industrial accidents, and cyber threats. (U) Due to the recent actions of lone offenders or small groups affiliated with or inspired by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and other foreign terrorist organizations, we assess that the current terrorism threat to Texas is elevated. We recognize that ISIS has had considerable success in inspiring and inciting lone offenders to attack targets in the United States and other Western countries using simple yet effective tactics that are difficult to detect and disrupt. We expect this heightened threat to persist over at least the next year, due in part to the relatively high number of recent terrorism-related arrests and thwarted plots inside the US, and the prevalence and effectiveness of ISIS’s online recruitment and incitement messaging, as the organization is slowly defeated on the battlefield. We are especially concerned about the potential for terrorist infiltration across the US-Mexico border, particularly as foreign terrorist fighters depart Syria and Iraq and enter global migration flows. We are concerned about the challenges associated with the security vetting of Syrian war refugees or asylum seekers who are resettled in Texas – namely, that derogatory security information about individuals is inaccessible or nonexistent.

The Terms of Reference and membership for WG Star Names (WGSN) are provided at the IAU website: https://www.iau.org/science/scientific_bodies/working_groups/280/. ​ ​ ​ WGSN was re-proposed to Division C and was approved in April 2019 as a functional WG whose scope extends beyond the normal 3-year cycle of IAU working groups. The WGSN was specifically called out on p. 22 of IAU Strategic Plan 2020-2030: “The IAU serves as the ​ internationally recognised authority for assigning designations to celestial bodies and their surface features. To do so, the IAU has a number of Working Groups on various topics, most notably on the nomenclature of small bodies in the Solar System and planetary systems under Division F and on Star Names under Division C.” WGSN continues its long term activity of researching cultural astronomy literature for star names, and researching etymologies with the goal of adding this information to the WGSN’s online materials.

  • Adapting Epic Theatre Principles for the Design of Games for Learning
    Adapting Epic Theatre Principles for the Design of Games for Learning April Tyack Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Brisbane, Australia [email protected] Peta Wyeth Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Brisbane, Australia [email protected] ABSTRACT Educational games are primarily developed for use in formal education, which limits both their typical audience and the subject matter they may address. This paper presents recommendations for designing games for learning to be played outside the context of formal education, which explore the ways complex systems influence real human lives. Existing work from within the field and epic theatre principles form the basis for these guidelines. In this framework, the context of educational game play is considered alongside game content as essential to encouraging reflective play behaviour. Educational aims are made explicit throughout game involvement, and each aspect of the game directly contributes to stimulating reflection on the topics at hand. Complex subject matter — for example, the ways systems such as economics affect players in real life — may be fruitfully explored using this approach. Keywords video games, game design, epic theatre, learning INTRODUCTION Play in Education Learning and play have long been interconnected concepts. Developmentally, children learn through exploration, experimentation, and play (Forman and Hill 1981), as knowledge is actively constructed and reconstructed through direct interaction within the environment (Bee and Boyd 2010). Play in general — activity that is intrinsically motivating, freely chosen, process-oriented and enjoyable (Johnson et al. 1987) — typically aligns with play in videogames. Therefore, the continued attempts of videogames to harness the learning potential of play are hardly surprising.

  • Pos(BASH2015)007
    Precision Stellar Astrophysics in the Kepler Era PoS(BASH2015)007 Daniel Huber∗ Sydney Institute for Astronomy, School of Physics, University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia E-mail: [email protected] The study of fundamental properties (such as temperatures, radii, masses, and ages) and interior processes (such as convection and angular momentum transport) of stars has implications on var- ious topics in astrophysics, ranging from the evolution of galaxies to understanding exoplanets. In this contribution I will review the basic principles of two key observational methods for con- straining fundamental and interior properties of single field stars: the study stellar oscillations (asteroseismology) and optical long-baseline interferometry. I will highlight recent breakthrough discoveries in asteroseismology such as the measurement of core rotation rates in red giants and the characterization of exoplanet systems. I will furthermore comment on the reliability of inter- ferometry as a tool to calibrate indirect methods to estimate fundamental properties, and present a new angular diameter measurement for the exoplanet host star HD 219134 which demonstrates that diameters for stars which are relatively well resolved (& 1 mas for the K band) are consistent across different instruments. Finally I will discuss the synergy between asteroseismology and interferometry to test asteroseismic scaling relations, and give a brief outlook on the expected impact of space-based missions such as K2, TESS and Gaia.

  • Rickey Family History NUMBER 1 •Y Spring 1990
    Rickey Family History NUMBER 1 •y Spring 1990 This is the initial issue of RICKEY ROOTS AND REVELS, the official Newsletter of the RICKEY FAMILY ASSOCIATION. Our goal is to reach out and assist all who are tracing the several RICKEY FAMILIES in America, to serve as a focal point and data exchange medium for independent researchers, and especially to introduce and reintroduce widespread RICKEY COUSINS to one another. We are all part of a large extended RICKEY FAMILY — cousins by the dozens that share blood lines and a common heritage. It's high time we all got acquainted with our RICKEY ROOTS — and maybe we'll experience a few laughs at a RICKEY REVEL (or two) along the way! In all of us there is a hunger, marrow-deep, to know our heritage. To know who we are — and where we have come from. Without this enriching knowledge, there is a hollow yearning. No matter what our attainments in life, there is the most disquieting loneliness. Alex Haley in ROOTS, pub by Doubleday * Co. The saga of our RICKEY FAMILY HISTORY and their westward migration from the Eastern Seaboard into the Wilderness and across the Great Plains to the Pacific Coast is a fascinating one. This is a story that needs telling, both for us and RICKEY generations to follow. Search your "family archives" for those long- forgotten items and anecdotes that tell about your pioneer grandparents' lifestyle. We hope that you will join with others in furnishing data for publication in future issues of this Newsletter. We would like to include Family Bible records, marriage licenses, birth and death certificates, old photographs (with or without identification), county court records (deeds, probate settlements, wills), tombstone recordings, biographical sketches, oral history interviews, newspaper obituaries (word-for- word), military and pension data, church items, school graduations, etc.
