Turner may shed light on how well JJ may have known Charlese. In all the Northeastern Christian letters provided by JJ to show this long friendship, nothing was provided to indicate any individual friendship or sympathy for Mr. Smith's passing to ES. This lack of friendship is inconsistent w/all the statements by JJ to ES in the 2/23/00 video tape about how JJ "helped" Mr. Smith in his last days and JJ's inference of how Mr. Smith was the one who told Mrs. Smith that she could "trust Joe," as indicated in the 2/23/00 video. 1976 Mrs. Smith and Dr. Stan Cramer on the Advisory Board of Rose Williams report, pg. 26.

    YOUTH JUSTICE VOTER GUIDE AND LEGISLATIVE SCORECARD: MASSACHUSETTS 2020 BRISTOL COUNTY WELCOME LETTER Each year, thousands of young people in Massachusetts come in contact with the juvenile justice system. These young people are disproportionately children of color, children from the child welfare system, children coming from areas of concentrated poverty, and LGBTQ children. For the majority of these young people, interactions with the juvenile justice system are overwhelmingly negative, and lead to poor outcomes and even increased delinquency. Progress in reforming our legal system into one that is fair and works to create positive outcomes for all system-involved youth, creating stronger and safer communities for everyone, is dependent on elected officials who support or oppose these reforms. This non-partisan voter guide is intended to ensure that you, as a voter, know your rights and are informed in our decisions. The primary focus of this voter guide is to provide the voting record of state elected officials currently in office.

Knight 2 and Rebecca C.

Volatile concentrations are largely determined by the grape itself and by microbial communities that produce volatiles during fermentation, either from grape-derived precursors or as byproducts of secondary metabolism. The relative degree of aroma production from grape skins compared to the juice itself, and the impact on different yeasts on this production, has not been investigated for Pinot noir. The influence of fermentation media (Pinot noir juice or synthetic grape must (SGM), with and without inclusion Citation: Qiao, Y.; Hawkins, D.; of grape skins) and yeast choice (commercial Saccharomyces cerevisiae EC1118, a single vineyard Parish-Virtue, K.; Fedrizzi, B.; Knight, mixed community (MSPC), or uninoculated) on aroma chemistry was determined by measuring S.J.; Deed, R.C.

  • Skins and the Impossibility of Youth Television
    Skins and the impossibility of youth television David Buckingham This essay is part of a larger project, Growing Up Modern: Childhood, Youth and Popular Culture Since 1945. More information about the project, and illustrated versions of all the essays, can be found at: https://davidbuckingham.net/growing-up-modern/. In 2007, the UK media regulator Ofcom published an extensive report entitled The Future of Children’s Television Programming. The report was partly a response to growing concerns about the threats to specialized children’s programming posed by the advent of a more commercialized and globalised media environment. However, it argued that the impact of these developments was crucially dependent upon the age group. Programming for pre-schoolers and younger children was found to be faring fairly well, although there were concerns about the range and diversity of programming, and the fate of UK domestic production in particular. Nevertheless, the impact was more significant for older children, and particularly for teenagers. The report was not optimistic about the future provision of specialist programming for these age groups, particularly in the case of factual programmes and UK- produced original drama. The problems here were partly a consequence of the changing economy of the television industry, and partly of the changing behaviour of young people themselves. As the report suggested, there has always been less specialized television provided for younger teenagers, who tend to watch what it called ‘aspirational’ programming aimed at adults. Particularly in a globalised media market, there may be little money to be made in targeting this age group specifically.

  • Exposed Pedagogy: Investigating Lgbtq Issues in Collaboration with Preservice Teachers
    EXPOSED PEDAGOGY: INVESTIGATING LGBTQ ISSUES IN COLLABORATION WITH PRESERVICE TEACHERS DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew D. Conley, B.S., M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Professor Barbara Seidl, Adviser Approved by Professor Mollie Blackburn Professor Caroline Clark Adviser College of Education Professor Rebecca Kantor Copyright by Matthew D. Conley 2005 ABSTRACT Preparing teachers to serve the needs of children who have been historically marginalized is difficult work. Although a growing body of scholars and researchers has attempted to describe the complexities, challenges, and promises of such work, we are far from understanding how to do it well. While much of this discussion has addressed issues of race and ethnicity, LGBTQ concerns have been glaringly omitted. By continuing to overlook LGBTQ issues in education, we perpetuate heterosexism and maintain LGBTQ youth’s marginalization. Considering previous research that suggests teachers lack knowledge about LGBTQ issues and are ill-equipped to construct pedagogies that are supportive of LGBTQ youth and families, this research aimed to create a joint learning project to foster greater LGBTQ competencies in the context of teacher preparation. My belief that long-term, collaborative inquiry might better support pre-service teachers in understanding issues related to LGBTQ concerns guided this research. This action-oriented, qualitative research project emerged from a critical, feminist paradigm and relied on narrative methods. During the 2002-2003 academic year, the activities of nine student-participants were recorded. Data was primarily in the form of written responses to experiences at the university and reflections related to the larger community- based experiences our collaboration provided.

  • Ending Conversion Therapy in Juvenile Justice
    ENDING CONVERSION THERAPY IN JUVENILE JUSTICE Table of Contents Introduction 1 Conversion Therapy Fact Sheet 2 Conversion Therapy as Family Rejection 4 Professional Policy and Position Statements 5 Tips for Developing Juvenile Justice Policy 12 Examples of Provisions Prohibiting Conversion Therapy 13 Model Policy Prohibiting Conversion Therapy 17 Model Comprehensive LGBTQ Policy with Provisions Prohibiting Conversion Therapy 20 Resources 26 Glossary 27 Appendix A Conversion Therapy & LGBT Youth Report (2018) Appendix B Just As They Are Report (2017) Appendix C Ending Conversion Therapy Report (2015) Introduction Few practices threaten the mental health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) youth more than attempts to change their sexual orientation or gender identity. This so-called "conversion therapy" has been condemned by every major medical and mental health organization in the country, and shown to cause depression, substance abuse, and even suicide. Children involved in the juvenile justice system are vulnerable to being subjected to these efforts by multiple sources: probation officers referring youth to mental health providers that engage in conversion therapy; facility chaplains encouraging youth to "pray the gay away"; detention center staff "teaching" youth to dress, talk, or walk in gender conforming ways; and judges ordering counseling to "set straight" an LGBTQ or gender nonconforming youth. Juvenile justice agencies can protect youth from these harmful practices through policies that explicitly state that agency representatives—including employees and volunteers—cannot engage in any efforts to change the sexual orientation or gender identity of youth in their care, and that the agency cannot contract with providers who engage in such efforts.

  • 1 Opening Pandora's Loot Box: Novel Links with Gambling, and Player
    Opening Pandora's loot box: Novel links with gambling, and player opinions on probability disclosures and pity-timers in China Leon Y. Xiao*† [0000-0003-0709-0777] <[email protected]> Tullia C. Fraser‡ [0000-0002-0979-6805] Philip W. S. Newall§ [0000-0002-1660-9254] *: The Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn, Lincoln’s Inn, London WC2A 3TL, United Kingdom †: The City Law School, City, University of London, Northampton Square, Clerkenwell, London EC1V 0HB, United Kingdom ‡: Independent Researcher §: Experimental Gambling Research Laboratory, School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences, CQUniversity, 400 Kent St, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia This paper has not been peer-reviewed and as such is subject to change. 1 Abstract (150 words) Loot boxes are quasi-gambling virtual products in video games that provide randomised rewards of varying value. Previous studies in Western contexts have identified a positive correlation between loot box purchasing and problem gambling. A preregistered survey of People’s Republic of China (PRC) video game players (N=879) largely failed to replicate this correlation, possibly due to low levels of gambling participation (n=87). Statistically significant but modest positive correlations between loot box expenditure and past-year gambling participation, and between loot box expenditure and impulsiveness, were found. Most loot box purchasers (84.6%) reported seeing loot box probability disclosures which the PRC legally requires, but only 19.3% of this group reported consequently spending less money. Most loot box purchasers (86.9%) thought that pity-timers, which increase the winning probabilities of obtaining rarer rewards, are appropriate for implementation. Future loot box research should give greater consideration to cultural contexts, methodological choices, and novel consumer protection measures.
