Safety Awareness For Empowerment A Training Guide for Safety at Home, at Work, and in Public Developed by Dedra Hafner Waisman Center University of Wisconsin–Madison University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities June 2005 Personal Acknowledgements The development of this training guide has been a tremendous learning experience for me. I originally began teaching protective behaviors to students in elementary school, then to students in high school and then to adults. I have taught this subject many times and each time I added some new aspect to the training sessions. My training method is to clearly conceptualize the messages I want individuals to learn and then develop interesting ways to teach the material. For the first time, this training guide is being published by the Waisman Center for Developmental Disabilities. The Waisman Center recognizes the necessity for developing quality materials that address social issues related to the transition of youth with developmental disabilities into adult life. I want to thank all of the people who provided feedback and input for the training guide. First, thanks to Dan Bier, Martha Mock, Beth Swedeen and Deb Wisniewski for believing that this material was important enough to produce. Also thanks go to Stacey Lindenau, a long-time friend and instructor for reviewing the first aid material and to Steve Allison, for all of his efforts in collaborating on the self-defense material. As editor, Ray Linehan was instrumental in organizing the material in a way that allows key concepts to flow together. A special thanks goes to Cheri Sanders, Art Coordinator, for her dedication and commitment to the project and for devoting her weekends to complete the layout of the publication. The graphics and illustrations in this training guide are a key element in what makes this an effective training tool. The impact of the message would not have been the same without the visual illustrations. I want to also thank the artists and models who contributed to this publication: Linda Endlich, Madeline Grandboise, Dyann Hafner, Teri Sanders, Sarah Woodson, Cathleen Piotrowski and Tina Sanders. I want to thank my husband, Art Zimmerman for believing in my ability to write this training guide, helping with the long hours of editing, and lending a patient ear listening to me formulate my ideas. Dedra Hafner June, 2005 The Reviewers During the development phase of this training guide, the sections were pilot tested by the participants in the original “Safety in the Community” course offered in Dane and Iowa Counties as well as a second course, “Safety in the Community Class II.” These groups of participants were terrific about telling me which activities they liked and offering suggestions on what to do differently. I felt that their insight was valuable and it helped to determine the direction of the training guide. A special thanks goes out to: Nick, Samantha, Kevin, Lana, Petra, Kristin, Sean, Matt, Ron, Kasi, Jill, Ted, Dana, Katie, Dan, David and Mitch. Amy Judy, J.D.

  • Indiana Law Review
    . Indiana Law Review Volume 33 2000 Number 2 NOTES Justifications for State Bystander Intervention Statutes: Why Crime Witnesses Should Be Required to Call for Help Jennifer Bagby* Introduction In the series finale ofthe television show Seinfeld, Jerry, Elaine, George, and Kramer served time in prison for violating Massachusetts' new Duty to Assist Statute. The fictional foursome had not only stood by passively and watched the mugging of a stranger, but also found the crime amusing. Seinfeld saw humor in a tragic situation. The need for a statute creating a duty to report a crime or assist a crime victim enters into the debate through highly publicized tales of failure to render assistance. The first high profile incident of a failure to intervene occurred in 1964. On March 13, 1964, twenty-eight-year-old Catherine "Kitty" Genovese was stabbed to death outside of her Queens, New York apartment at three in the morning.' Thirty-eight of Ms. Genovese's neighbors witnessed the attack, but none called the police or intervened to stop the criminal. Ms. Genovese's assailant left her at one point when a neighbor yelled out of his window, but he later returned to continue his attack. Only one neighbor stepped forward to call the police, though even he waited to seek advice from a friend. By the time the police arrived at the scene, it was too late. Ms. Genovese had died.^ In 1983, six patrons of a New Bedford, Massachusetts tavern raped a twenty- two-year-old woman while the other customers cheered. No one intervened or called the police.

  • Chapter 4: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery
    Chapter 4 Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training Introduction A pilot’s fundamental responsibility is to prevent a loss of control (LOC). Loss of control in-flight (LOC-I) is the leading cause of fatal general aviation accidents in the U.S. and commercial aviation worldwide. LOC-I is defined as a significant deviation of an aircraft from the intended flightpath and it often results from an airplane upset. Maneuvering is the most common phase of flight for general aviation LOC-I accidents to occur; however, LOC-I accidents occur in all phases of flight. To prevent LOC-I accidents, it is important for pilots to recognize and maintain a heightened awareness of situations that increase the risk of loss of control. Those situations include: uncoordinated flight, equipment malfunctions, pilot complacency, distraction, turbulence, and poor risk management – like attempting to fly in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) when the pilot is not qualified or proficient. Sadly, there are also LOC-I accidents resulting from intentional disregard or recklessness. 4-1 To maintain aircraft control when faced with these or other contributing factors, the pilot must be aware of situations where LOC-I can occur, recognize when an airplane is approaching a stall, has stalled, or is in an upset condition, and understand and execute the correct procedures to recover the aircraft. D.C. ELEC. R 6 0 ° Defining an Airplane Upset 2 MIN. NO PITCH INFORMATION The term “upset” was formally introduced by an industry L work group in 2004 in the “Pilot Guide to Airplane Upset i Recovery,” which is one part of the “Airplane Upset Recovery Training Aid.” The working group was primarily focused on large transport airplanes and sought to come up with one term to describe an “unusual attitude” or “loss of control,” for example, and to generally describe specific parameters as part of its definition.

The argument reorients privacy scholarship from an individual right to social rela- tionships of disclosure. This has implications for a wide variety of vexing problems of modern privacy law, from limited disclosures to “revenge porn.” The common everyday understanding is that privacy is about choice, autonomy, and individual freedom. It encompasses the individual’s right to determine what he will keep hidden and what, how, and when he will disclose to the public.

With my consciousness barely stirring, I noticed my hair was filthy and wet, clothes torn and unrecognizable. Struggling, I was able to get my head high enough above the water line to see the town before me in ruins. Mostly smoke now, some fire. I was one of the few who found something to float on. I was stretched out on a large, jagged piece of what I assumed was once part of a wall. It was sturdy enough to support my weight, and I had the luxury of a little extra room to spread out from time to time. A bell was ringing from the edge of the beachfront, I would guess a few hundred yards from my position. It was the first sound I had heard coming from land since the exodus to the sea. There were less than a dozen of us out here floating aimlessly. Some on broken pieces of wood, some bent over barrels or pieces of trees, whatever would keep us afloat.
