Book excerpt: LIANE MORIARTY says that “No one writes twisted, suspenseful novels quite like Sophie Hannah.” Packed with twists and clues, simmering with tension, this electrifying new thriller shows why. She's the most famous murder victim in America. What if she's not dead? Pushed to the breaking point, Cara Burrows flees her home and family and escapes to a five-star spa resort she can't afford. Late at night, exhausted and desperate, she lets herself into her hotel room and is shocked to find it already occupied — by a man and a teenage girl. A simple mistake at the front desk... but soon Cara realizes that the girl she saw alive and well in the hotel room is someone she can't possibly have seen: the most famous murder victim in the country, Melody Chapa, whose parents are serving natural life sentences for her murder. Cara doesn't know what to trust — everything she's read and heard about the case, or the evidence of her own eyes. Did she really see Melody? And is she prepared to ask herself that question and answer it honestly if it means risking her own life?
Download or read book We Keep Us Safe written by Zach Norris and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking new vision for public safety that overturns more than 200 years of fear-based discrimination, othering, and punishment As the effects of aggressive policing and mass incarceration harm historically marginalized communities and tear families apart, how do we define safety? In a time when the most powerful institutions in the United States are embracing the repressive and racist systems that keep many communities struggling and in fear, we need to reimagine what safety means. Community leader and lawyer Zach Norris lays out a radical way to shift the conversation about public safety away from fear and punishment and toward growth and support systems for our families and communities. In order to truly be safe, we are going to have to dismantle our mentality of Us vs. Them. By bridging the divides and building relationships with one another, we can dedicate ourselves to strategic, smart investments—meaning resources directed toward our stability and well-being, like healthcare and housing, education and living-wage jobs. This is where real safety begins. In this book Zach Norris provides a blueprint of how to hold people accountable while still holding them in community. The result reinstates full humanity and agency for everyone who has been dehumanized and traumatized, so they can participate fully in life, in society, and in the fabric of our democracy.

Download or read book Keep Safe Using Mobile Tech written by Glenn Fleishman and published by alt concepts. This book was released on 2024-07-30 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leverage your smartphone and smartwatch for improved personal safety! Version 1.0, updated July 30, 2024 The digital and “real” worlds can both be scary places. The smartphone (and often smartwatch) you already carry with you can help reduce risks, deter theft, and mitigate violence. This book teaches you to secure your hardware, block abuse, automatically call emergency services, connect with others to ensure you arrive where and when you intended, detect stalking by compact trackers, and keep your ecosystem accounts from Apple, Google, and Microsoft secure.n You don’t have to be reminded of the virtual and physical risks you face every day. Some of us are targeted more than others. Modern digital features built into mobile operating systems (and some computer operating systems) can help reduce our anxiety by putting more power in our hands to deter, deflect, block, and respond to abuse, threats, and emergencies. Keep Safe Using Mobile Tech looks at both digital threats, like online abuse and account hijacking, and ones in the physical world, like being stalked through Bluetooth trackers, facing domestic violence, or being in a car crash. The book principally covers the iPhone, Apple Watch, and Android devices, but doesn’t ignore Wear OS watches, the iPad, and computers running macOS or Windows. This book explores many techniques to help: • Learn how to harden your Apple ID/Apple Account, Google Account, and Microsoft Account beyond just a password or a text-message token. • Discover blocking tools in operating systems and third-party apps that can prevent abusive, fraudulent, and phishing messages and calls from reaching you. • Block seeing unwanted sensitive images on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch—and help your kids receive advice on how not to send them. • Turn on tracking on your devices, and use it to recover or erase stolen hardware. • Keep your cloud-archived messages from leaking to attackers. • Lock down your devices to keep thieves and other personal invaders from accessing them. • Prepare for emergencies by setting up medical information on your mobile devices. • Let a supported smartphone or smartwatch recognize when you’re in a car crash or have taken a hard fall and call emergency services for you (and text your emergency contacts) if you can’t respond. • Keep track of heart anomalies through smartwatch alerts and tests. • Tell others where or when you expect to check in with them again, and let your smartphone alert them if you don’t. • Deter stalking from tiny Bluetooth trackers. • Protect your devices and accounts against access from domestic assailants. • Block thieves who steal your phone—potentially threatening you or attacking you in person—from gaining access to the rest of your digital life.
