This “Dictionary” has since continued to grow from approximately 30 pages in 12-pitch font to this monster of 168 pages in 11-pitch font. The gangs, cliques and other groups continue to change the meaning and usage of their words in an attempt to mislead authorities in what they are attempting to accomplish. This book only succeeds with the help of everyone who receives a copy of it. Currently we mostly utilized interpretations by the Security Threat Group Officers assigned throughout TDCJ. We are also using other sources, which include the Attorney General’s gang web site and others. What we wish to do is incorporate information from any person or agency that has located or confirmed words or signs that are unique to a given set or group. This in turn will allow everyone to benefit from this information. If you have something of interest that you feel should be included in the “Dictionary,” please send it to us at the following: Woodman State Jail Attn: Security Threat Group Office 1210 Coryell City Road Gatesville, TX 76528 Phone: (254) 865-9398 Thank You. 2 A (ALPHA) A…..(Texas Syndicate) Denotes the Texas Syndicate itself A.A.S.P......(Aryan).....Aryan Atheist Soviet Communism A.C.E.D......(Aryan Circle).....Aryan Circle Education Department.

  • Interactions of Patagonian Toothfish Fisheries With
    CCAMLR Science, Vol. 17 (2010): 179–195 INTERACTIONS OF PATAGONIAN TOOTHFISH FISHERIES WITH KILLER AND SPERM WHALES IN THE CROZET ISLANDS EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE: AN ASSESSMENT OF DEPREDATION LEVELS AND INSIGHTS ON POSSIBLE MITIGATION STRATEGIES P. Tixier1, N. Gasco2, G. Duhamel2, M. Viviant1, M. Authier1 and C. Guinet1 1 Centre d’Etudes Biologiques de Chizé CNRS, UPR 1934 Villiers-en-Bois, 79360 France Email – [email protected] 2 MNHN Paris, 75005 France Abstract Within the Crozet Islands Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) longline fishery is exposed to high levels of depredation by killer (Orcinus orca) and sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus). From 2003 to 2008, sperm whales alone, killer whales alone, and the two species co-occurring were observed on 32.6%, 18.6% and 23.4% respectively of the 4 289 hauled lines. It was estimated that a total of 571 tonnes (€4.8 million) of Patagonian toothfish were lost due to depredation by killer whales and both killer and sperm whales. Killer whales were found to be responsible for the largest part of this loss (>75%), while sperm whales had a lower impact (>25%). Photo-identification data revealed 35 killer whales belonging to four different pods were involved in 81.3% of the interactions. Significant variations of interaction rates with killer whales were detected between vessels suggesting the influence of operational factors on depredation. When killer whales were absent at the beginning of the line hauling process, short lines (<5 000 m) provided higher yield and were significantly less impacted by depredation than longer lines.

  • Asian Gangs in America: Why Should They Matter to Education?
    International Journal of Education and Social Science; Vol. 6 No. 8; October 2019 ISSN 2410-5171 (Online), 2415-1246 (Print) Published by Research Institute for Progression of Knowledge Asian Gangs in America: Why Should They Matter to Education? Ie May Freeman, Ed.D. HeeKap Lee, Ph.D. Ivy Yee-Sakamoto, Ph.D. Azusa Pacific University 901 E Alosta Ave, Azusa, CA 91702 United States of America Abstract The prominence of gangs in America is a growing concern. Gangs have penetrated into the heart of communities across America. Their presence has had a measurable effect on society. Gang influence infiltrates into public school systems, where violent activities occur due to gang presence. As a result, many school districts have taken action to reduce gang involvement and violence, including the implementation of gang prevention programs. This paper allows the reader to understand the background of Asian gangs in United States and their impact on our schools. Key words: Asian gangs, gang membership, model minority, gang prevention instruction Introduction The prominence of youth gangs is a growing and critical concern in education in the United States of America. In this article will address the key causes and effects of youth gangs, especially among Asian American students and suggest effective strategies to implement the gang prevention programs. Factors of Gang Membership There are prevailing factors that influence why juveniles are involved in gangs. The first factor is insufficient education. According to Hawkins and Lynch (2006), youths who have inadequate education typically have a low degree of commitment to school. Duran (2006) reports that truancy, lack of focus, and poor grades are evidence of minimal dedication to school.

  • A Feminist Rhetorical Critique of Zombie Apocalypse Television Narrative
    Ohio Communication Journal Volume 52 – October 2014, pp. 64-74 The Walking (Gendered) Dead: A Feminist Rhetorical Critique of Zombie Apocalypse Television Narrative John Greene Michaela D.E. Meyer This essay presents a feminist rhetorical criticism of AMC’s The Walking Dead, exposing how hegemonic gender roles reinforce patriarchy within the series. We connect previous research on horror film and television, particularly in the zombie apocalypse genre, to representations of gender roles in popular culture. Our analysis reveals five categories of gendered representation: sexist rhetoric, division of labor, the role of protector, White male leadership, and the role of the dutiful wife. The Walking Dead narrative features women as incapable of surviving the apocalypse without men, renders them slaves to products of consumption (such as clothing), and ultimately strips them of autonomous decision making. We connect these images to the never-ending process of consumption and creation perpetuated by zombie narratives as representative of our social unease with capitalism, consumerism and its link to gendered identity. Over fifty years after George A. Romero forever changed the horror genre with Night of the Living Dead, 5.3 million viewers watched once again as the dead rose to devour the living in the series premiere of AMC’s The Walking Dead (AMC, 2010). The Walking Dead is one of the most-watched pieces of zombie fiction ever created, and is the first that has been successfully launched on cable television. Robert Kirkman, the creator of the graphic novel series on which the show is based, stated that “it’s something that succeeds in movies all the time, but I don’t think anybody has seen survival horror on TV before” (Stelter, 2010).
