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.

Back in the day it was saying "Bloody Mary" into a mirror at slumber parties. Today, it means viral social media information stunts. Though adults get caught up, too, kids are especially susceptible to peer pressure and FOMO (fear of missing out). To them, what was once a double-dog dare is now a popular YouTuber eating a hot pepper just to see what happens. sharing Called "challenges," these stunts range from harmless to horrifying: There are the silly ones (such as the Mannequin Challenge); the helpful ones (like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge); and the slightly risky ones (such as In This Issue the Make Your Own Slime Challenge). But sometimes, challenges are downright dangerous, resulting in physical injury -- and possibly even death. So what's a parent to do? The Viral Internet Stunts Parents Should Below are some of the hottest challenges that have swept social media; some fade and then make a comeback. In Know most cases, kids are watching these challenges on YouTube purely for entertainment, but some challenges inspire Next Monthly kids to try them out themselves. (In fact, the safe ones can be fun for families to try.) Others -- like the Backpack Webinar - September Challenge -- are often done with the goal of filming other kids and broadcasting the results online.

  • 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.

  • Lesson 3 Shaping the Torso.Indd
    Nina’s Sweater Class Lesson 3: Shaping the Torso Shaping refers to the decreases and increases knit into the body of a sweater that cause it to deviate from the plain straight lines of an unshaped sweater. In this section of our class, you will refer to your sample sweater and your sketch to determine the kind of shaping you will knit. If there is no change in the width of the body in your sample or fantasy sweater (that is, the body is just a straight tube) then you do not need to worry about shaping, just knit on until you have enough rows (including the hem already knit) to make the measurement “E” on your schematic. The instructions in this lesson address simple waist and bust shaping. If your sample or fantasy sweater is curved in the body like the shape of a real human torso, then you will want waist/bust shaping. Other shapes can be acheived by adapting these instructions--the last page of this lesson contains a discussion of these techniques. In order to calculate the waist shaping that will work for YOUR sweater, you will need these key measurements from your schematic (provided in lesson 1.) A – The width of the cast-on edge, laid flat (as used in the last lesson) B – The width of the torso at the NARROWEST point (the waist) C – The width of the sweater from armpit to armpit. (the chest) D – the length from the cast on edge to the narrowest part of the torso (the waist) E – The length of the torso, from cast on edge to armpit.

  • Social Cognitive Theory Psychology of Media
    Social Cognitive Theory Psychology of Media Alejandra Feliz, Rachel Elizar, Kirstin Elliott-Noon, Shine` Thompson, Addie Han Definition ● Learning behaviors by observing others performing those behaviors and subsequently imitating them ourselves. ● This theory has four subsections of observational learning from media. For modeling to occur: 1. A person must be exposed to the media example and pay attention to it. 2. The individual must be capable of symbolically encoding and remembering the observer events, including both constructing the representation and cognitively representing it when the media example is no longer present. 3. The individual must be able to translate the symbolic conceptions into appropriate action. 4. Motivation must somehow develop through internal or external reinforcement (reward) in order to energize the performance of the behavior. Development of Theory ● Initially applied to media in context of studying effects of violent media models on behavior (children viewing high risk behaviors on TV, increased their tendency to engage in these behaviors, educational video shown portraying negative consequences decreased behavior) ● Social aggression (mean girls- rumors, ostracism) promiscuous behavior (regardless of negative or positive portrayal) ● Simple exposure can result in increased behavior? Ex: School shootings ● Media: entertainment/ Television (shows, movies, news) ● Still most commonly studied area within SCT ● BUT: Model has other applications such as modeling of sexual, prosocial or purchasing behavior Examples Mannequin Challenge: ● Is a viral Internet video trend where people remain frozen in action, like mannequins while a moving camera films them and the song “Black Beatles” by Rae Sremmurd plays in the background. ● Started by a teenager named Emili in Jacksonville, Florida.
