  • Information for the Family and Friends of Homicide Victims
    Information for the family and friends of homicide victims “Survivor Tree Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial” Permission to reprint by Jeter Photography Department of Justice Iowa Attorney General’s Office Crime Victim Assistance Division Survivor Tree The photograph on the cover of this guide is of the “Survivor Tree” at the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This American Elm tree survived the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. It is now a prominent part of the Oklahoma City National Memorial. The Survivor Tree was nearly chopped down in order to recover evidence from the bombing. It was also severely damaged from the blast and, even though the tree was not chopped down, it was believed it would not survive. Nearly a year after the bombing, the tree was beginning to bloom again. The Survivor Tree is now thriving and is a prominent part of the Memorial. The following is the inscription found in the deck wall around the Survivor Tree: The spirit of this city and this nation will not be defeated; our deeply rooted faith sustains us. The cover photo of the Survivor Tree was chosen as a symbol and tribute to all the survivors of homicide. It represents the strength you demonstrate each day and serves as a reminder of the seed of hope that exists for life after great tragedy and loss. 2 Dear Friends: If you are reviewing this booklet because a loved one has been killed in a homicide, please know that we extend to you our sympathy and support.

  • Managing Pesticide Poisoning Risk and Understanding the Signs and Symptoms Clyde L
    EC2505 Revised June 2018 Managing Pesticide Poisoning Risk and Understanding the Signs and Symptoms Clyde L. Ogg, Extension Educator Jan R. Hygnstrom, Project Manager Cheryl A. Alberts, Project Coordinator Erin C. Bauer, Entomology Lecturer The potential for accidents with pesticides is real. Ac- cidental exposure or overexposure to pesticides can have seri- ous consequences. While most pesticides can be used with relatively little risk when label directions are followed, some are extremely toxic and require special precautions. The Poison Control Centers receive about 90,000 calls each year related to pesticide exposures. Pesticides are re- sponsible for about 3 percent of all accidental exposures to children 5 years and younger and about 4 percent for adults. In addition, pesticides are the cause of about 3 percent of children’s deaths reported to the Poison Control Centers. Routes of Exposure Pesticides can enter the human body three ways: 1) der- mal exposure, by absorption through the skin or eyes; 2) oral exposure, through the mouth; and 3) through inhalation or respiratory exposure, by inhaling into the lungs. Some classify exposure through the eyes as ocular exposure. Dermal exposure results in absorption immediately after Figure 1. Absorption rates of different a pesticide contacts the skin or eyes. Absorption will contin- parts of the body based on the absorption ue as long as the pesticide remains in contact with the skin or of parathion into the forearm over 24 eyes. The rate at which dermal absorption occurs is different hours. for each part of the body (Figure 1).

GoodlettPlace, Room 244 San Francisco, CA 94102 Dear members of the Sunshine Ordinance Task Force, I am submitting a concise summary of the public meetings, open government law violations I am able to provide better documentation of at your request in the opinions rendered in File# 19077. In both files I identified Mayor London Breed and her appointed Hunters Point Shipyard Citizens Advisory Committee as having engaged in basic freedom of speech in public comment testimony and basic requirements for meeting quorum requirements in government sponsored hearings. I was not able to convince the SOTF that, like others who attended the 07/17/19 HPSCAC Environmental & Reuse sub-commitee hearing announcing the UCSF/UCB "Independent" Review Radiological Testing Hunters Point Shipyard, I felt was selectively noticed. I do want to revisit your opinion in deciding whether SOTF had jurisdiction to cite the absence of a quorum at the announced 6pm starting time of the meeting as a public meeting violation. I am providing supporting audiovisual documentation that at the time the meeting began the three member required quorum was not present and District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton is seated in a place holder position for the absent member. This audiovisual stream is available on the HPSCAC live stream at https://sfocii.org/hunters-point-shipyard meetings.

  • Two Housing Campaigns by the Chinese Progressive Association
    THE INTERACTION BETWEEN SERVICE AND ORGANIZING: TWO HOUSING CAMPAIGNS BY THE CHINESE PROGRESSIVE ASSOCIATION Kaori Tsukada Stanford University Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity Undergraduate Honors Thesis May 26th, 2009 i Abstract The Chinese Progressive Association is a 501(c)(3) grassroots organization in San Francisco Chinatown with thirty-seven years of organizing history. This paper focuses on two housing campaigns; the International Hotel Struggle was a ten-year collaborative effort between Bay Area grassroots organizations to prevent the demolition of a residential hotel in the 1970s, and the Housing Justice Campaign of 1997 sought to force the Department of Building Inspections to enforce housing codes. The paper will examine the differences between the organizational structures, organizing methods, and how service came to conflict with, rather than support, organizing. ii Acknowledgements There are so many people I need to thank for being part of this process, which I’ve heard others call a journey, a mountain to climb, or simply “really, you’re doing that?” It has been all these things. First of all, thanks to Professor Michael Rosenfeld for agreeing to be my advisor even when I didn’t know what I was doing, and continuing to do so when neither of us could really tell what I was trying to write. On the same note, thanks to Professor Rebecca Sandefur for taking me in when I so desperately wanted to be part of her research, and then agreeing again when I asked her to be my second reader. I also need to thank Rand Quinn, who offered continuous advice and direction throughout this process.
