When 19-year-old Shana Grice reported her stalker to the police, they didn't just dismiss her—they fined her. Months later, she was found murdered in her bedroom, her throat slashed, and her home set on fire. The man responsible had a documented history of harassment, and Shana had done everything she could to be heard. In this episode, I tell the devastating story of Shana Grice—a young woman who was failed at every turn by the very system meant to protect her. I'll go over the red flags that were ignored, the chilling behavior of her killer, and how one police department's negligence became a national scandal. This is more than a true crime story. It's a warning.If you are in a situation where you are being stalked or harassed by a partner or a stranger you can contact:(In America) The Stalking Prevention, Awareness, and Resource Center (SPARC) at info@stalkingawareness.orgor call them at (202) 558-0040(In the UK) The National Stalking Help Line www.stalkinghelpline.orgor call them at 0808 802 0300Connect with us on Social Media!You can find us at:Instagram: @bookofthedeadpodX: @bkofthedeadpodFacebook: The Book of the Dead PodcastTikTok: BookofthedeadpodOr visit our website at www.botdpod.comFeaturing a Promo for True Crime Connections PodcastWe honor deep healing while also making room for laughter, lightness, and moments of joy.

Apple's licensing approach (ca. 1994-1997) is a bad idea. Original text by Steven Levy, Macworld January 1995. Andy Bechtolscheim quote about SPARC licensing and Macintosh clones: “Sun had a unified business… it wasn't really selling separate software. … that whole notion of defining success [as] ‘other people adopt your thing'… Apple was criticized for being a closed system, then they licensed SuperMac … to build clones …. and the first thing Steve Jobs did when he came back to Apple was he killed all the clones, right? ‘cause if you cannot build a better system yourself, you don't need the clones for sure, right?” Transcript. Guerrino de Luca's time with Apple goes back to at least 1992 (appearance at 1m52s), included a stint at Claris, and ended shortly after Steve Jobs returned in 1997. Guerrino's last appearance with Apple. Don't worry; he did fine for himself–he went to Logitech and was its president and CEO until 2008. Guerrino bookending Apple's System 7.5 promo video. Given Apple's tendency to undergo frequent reorgs throughout the '90s, Don Strickland did not last as head of licensing operations. Unfortunately Don passed away in 2022 though his website is still up. Compaq was a much more creative and technically significant company in its early days before it was forced to produce bargain basement PCs. Rod Canion's excellent and highly entertaining (for nerds) book “Open” recounts the story. Power Computing only made it halfway to its goal of selling 100,000 Macs in its first year.

Sparc Technologies Ltd (ASX:SPN) managing director Nick O'Loughlin talked with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's innovative strides in green hydrogen production and its Ecosparc coating technology. O'Loughlin outlined Sparc Hydrogen's unique approach, leveraging photocatalysis to produce green hydrogen without the high power costs typically associated with electrolysis. "We see a real advantage in developing a new method... completely decoupled from the cost of power," he said. The company is advancing to stage two of its joint venture with Fortescue Limited and the University of Adelaide, focusing on building a pilot plant near Adelaide. The project also recently achieved its first patent approval in Morocco, with 17 more jurisdictions under review. On the graphene side of the business, Sparc's Ecosparc coating aims to enhance the durability of protective coatings for heavy steel infrastructure. The company is currently trialing this technology with the BHP Mitsubishi Alliance, testing it in harsh, corrosive environments to validate its performance. Looking ahead, Sparc plans to complete the pilot plant by mid-2025 and progress towards commercializing EcoSparc. O'Loughlin expressed confidence in reaching commercialization within the year, emphasizing the cost and carbon savings potential of their solutions.

Julia Holtemeyer (MPP) is the Resource & Training Specialist for SPARC (the Stalking, Prevention, Awareness, & Resource Center), an AEquitas initiative. In her role, she provides training and technical assistance, develops original resources, and collaborates with partners to enhance the ability of multidisciplinary professionals to recognize and respond to stalking. Julia's work in gender-based violence began more than 15 years ago as a college student, when she worked at a rape crisis center and as a peer health educator. Since then, she has worked as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Tanzania, in gender integration in global health with USAID, and to improve how multidisciplinary professionals identify and respond to domestic and dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking.SPARC (Stalking Prevention, Awareness, & Resource Center) is a federally funded project providing education and resources about the crime of stalking. SPARC aims to enhance the response to stalking by educating the professionals tasked with keeping stalking victims safe and holding offenders accountable. To stay up-to-date on SPARC's resources and offerings, follow us on social media (Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter) @FollowUsLegally and/or subscribe to our quarterly newsletter. SPARC does not provide direct services to victims. We recommend that stalking victims work with a local victim advocate, and the Victim Connect hotline can help connect victims with one. Local victim advocates can help plan for safety, discuss legal options, and connect victims with additional services. Victim Connect can be contacted at https://victimconnect.org/ for online messaging and information, and by phone at 1-855-484-2846. Local domestic violence and sexual assault support services/organizations often work with stalking victims/survivors, even when those victimizations are not part of the stalking. Unfortunately, there are no hotlines and few support service organizations that specifically work with victims/survivors of stalking.Hosts: MaryAnne Metheny, Ilene Shehan, and Tina JohnsonIf you are in an emergency, call or text 9-1-1.For information about our services and how Hope House can help, call our 24-Hour Hotline at 816-461-HOPE (4673) or the National Domestic Violence Hotline 800-799-7233.hopehouse.net

Every January, we're reminded of the chilling reality of stalking and its devastating repercussions. This month, we echo the courage of Debbie Riddle, who transformed her grief into advocacy after the murder of her sister Peggy by a stalker. Together with Jennifer Landhuis from the Stalking Prevention Awareness and Resource Center (SPARC), we tackle the difficult nuances of stalking, from the subtle signs to the overt, with a critical eye on how law enforcement and the public acknowledge and respond to such danger. Their insights expose the gaps in our system and ignite a vital discussion on the need for consistent intervention against this crime.The narrative of Peggy's ordeal is both heartbreaking and a powerful catalyst for change. Debbie's relentless pursuit to raise stalking awareness has not only memorialized her sister but has also pioneered educational reforms. We reflect on the systemic failures that had dire consequences and highlight the importance of initiatives like Stalking Awareness Month. By examining Debbie's journey and Jennifer's expertise, the episode underlines the crucial role of education and the immediate need for law enforcement to develop a deeper understanding and more effective protocols when facing stalking cases.As we wrap up this intense episode, we underscore the importance of community response and SPARC's role in providing resources to better address stalking cases. We delve into the trainings offered to criminal justice agencies, the alarming prevalence of stalking, and the available support systems on college campuses. This session is not just a tribute to Peggy but a call to action for everyone to participate in the national day of action against stalking, to bring awareness and to restore a sense of safety for those affected.

This is a link post. The AI safety community has grown rapidly since the ChatGPT wake-up call, but available funding doesn't seem to have kept pace. However, there's a more recent dynamic that's created even better funding opportunities, which I witnessed as a recommender in the most recent SFF grant round.[1] Most philanthropic (vs. government or industry) AI safety funding (>50%) comes from one source: Good Ventures.

On this episode of Source Pages Presents: The Sacred Jedi Texts, we learn about the origins of the Sith's "Rule of Two." Hayley and Brian are once again joined by the remaining members of the SPaRC Jedi Council, James Hewings and Todd Sedlacek, to cover Darth Bane: Path of Destruction by Drew Karpyshyn, the first in the Darth Bane Trilogy of books.

This is Part Two of our two-part interview with Anna Nasset. Anna Nasset, a victim/survivor of stalking for the last decade, has firsthand experience with how to identify and respond to stalking, which has led her to become an international speaker on the subject. She has trained thousands of professionals, students, and military members on the importance of recognizing stalking, getting help, and advocating for oneself and others. Anna is one of the very few people who can speak openly about her experience after the man who stalked her received the maximum sentence for aggravated felony stalking-ten years in prison-in 2019. This is one of the longest-known sentences for this crime in U.S. history. As an activist and the owner of Stand Up Resources, Anna works with law enforcement, victim service agencies, universities, and other organizations to be part of the solution. We want to encourage you to post a photo of you and/or your team sparkling against stalking! Use the hashtag #SparkleAgainstStalking on your social media posts, and we will have links to more on this important day in the show notes of today's episode.

Debbie Riddle is an Anti-Stalking Advocate whose sister Peggy Klinke was stalked and murdered by her ex-boyfriend. After Peggy's death, Debbie refused to remain silent about the extreme failures in our criminal justice system and set out on a mission to get the system fixed and began telling Peggy's story to anyone that would listen. She caught the attention of Tracy Bahm, the Director of the Stalking Resource Center and they took Peggy's story to Washington D.C. where they testified at a congressional briefing and declared January, “National Stalking Awareness Month” in honor of Peggy.  Debbie has spoken throughout the US, at law enforcement trainings, advocate trainings and college campuses and has worked with then Senator Joe Biden, Advocate Erin Brockovich, and Lifetime Television to continue to spread awareness about the dangers of stalking. Also joining us is Dana Fleitman, the Associate Advisor at the Stalking Prevention, Awareness, & Resource Center (known as SPARC) a project of AEquitas funded by the DOJ Office on Violence Against Women.
