Whether the error was ours or the printer's, the result was the same -- it wasn't there. While the column didn't carry anything earthshaking, it did mention the second CD-ROM product on which one of our office publications is included, and that we did want you to know about, plus another CD-ROM product available as of October 1. SoftLine's product WOMEN 'R 'will include full-text articles from Feminist Collections and some forty other women's periodicals from 1990 forward, including Belles Lettres, Sojourner, Women in Sport and Physical Activity, and New Moon for girls.

    CREATING FIRE-RESISTANT PROPERTIES and COMMUNITIES About

    F I R E S C A P I N G DOUGLAS KENT MS, MLA CREATING FIRE-RESISTANT PROPERTIES AND COMMUNITIES About B&W by: Frederic Larson, The San Francisco Chronicle HISTORY CURRENTLY Photo by the Press Democrat, Oct. 2017 The Problem • Megafires, firestorms and fire tornados are now more common. • Scientists, fire professionals and ecologists believe the worst is still ahead. • The two primary reasons driving the increase in frequency and ferocity are well known: The Problem 1. Warming Planet Warmer temperatures create drier and more ignitable landscapes. Warming also increases the likelihood of fire weather—those exceptionally hot, low humidity and windy days. The Problem 2. More Structures in Fire Country Rural used to mean a few hundred people living in the hills, now it means a few thousand. According to fire experts, there are over 46 million homes representing a population of over 100 million living in high fire hazard areas within the U.S. Sixty percent of all new homes are being built in fire country. Twenty-five percent of California’s population are at risk of losing their homes—almost 10 million people. The Problem But, warming and growth are not all: Air Pollution: Both gaseous and particulate pollution impact native soils and plants and favor invasive plants that have changed historic patterns of fire. Altered Hydrology: Drawing down aquifers and dry season runoff have a profound impact in the foothills and riparian corridors. Suppression: Wildfires used to roam landscapes for weeks, if not months. Fires nowadays are immediately extinguished—and only get a foothold during severe fire weather.

It’s SuperDaisy … able to leap farm fences in a single bound … Volunteers, please note: Daisy has recently taken to scaling the farm fences to try her paw at a game of Canine Frogger on Route 29. Very soon she will begin training with an invisible fence but we ask that volunteers PLEASE exercise extreme diligence while Daisy is out as she has even broken away from her cable run. And while the invisible fence training process is supposed to be fairly quick, it is Daisy and if any dog were ever going to figure a way around this, it’s going to be her. Please help us keep Daisy safe. Thanks. Adoption Statistics Through December 31, 2006, the Humane Society adopted out 278 animals into loving homes: 183 cats, 64 dogs, 5 rabbits, 23 guinea pigs, 1 horse, 1 hamster and 1 fish! In addition, we transferred 11 cats and 19 dogs to other facilities for adoption. A special thanks to all of our foster homes, home visit volunteers, socializers, outreach program volunteers and adoption placement volunteers. HELPING THE COMMUNITY Through December 2006, we provided financial assistance or supplies to the public for approximately 40 animals to receive the medical care or supplies they needed. As you know, the HSFC instituted a new feral TNR (Trap, Neuter & Return) program in late 2003. Through December, the feral outreach program trapped, neutered and released (TNR’d) approximately 148 cats and kittens.

    Jazzy and Kaleidoscopic, Like Fall Leaves, with Personalities to Match

    For the friends of the Independent Cat Society, a no-kill cat shelter Fall 2011, # 134 Jazzy and kaleidoscopic, like fall leaves, with personalities to match... othing says “cozy” quite like the sight of a charming calico cat curled up in a Ncomfy ball of color. Colorful and delightful, calico cats are beloved by cat lovers everywhere. Like torties and tabbies, calicos are not a breed but rather a color pattern, created by the combination of white, black, and orange. In the case of calicos, the whole is most definitely greater than the sum of the parts! The name “calico” comes from a cloth first imported to Britain from India in the 17th century. Calico fabric was and still is brightly colored and distinctively patterned just like the cats. In Japan, tri-colored cats are called mi-ke, meaning “triple fur,” and in Holland they are called lapjeskat, which is Dutch for “patches.” It should come as no surprise that the two most common names for a calico cat are “Callie” and “Patches,” but there are other names inspired by their coat that may suit one of these multi- hued beauties, such as Autumn, Calista, Dottie, Jewel, Kalie (as in “kaleidoscope,”) Rainbow, or Sunset, and many more. Our own Paulette Gonzalez has made a science out of naming calicos, coming up with some of the most outrageous names, like Fiesta, Confetti, Maddie and Sophie (a dilute calico) are ICS alumni, and great examples Spumoni, and Salsa! Regardless of what you of calico beauty, as well as sisterly love! choose to call your own example of living color, she still may or may not come when you call her.

    A Feminist Theory of State Responsibility for Violence Against Women: Is the Due Diligence Standard an Appropriate Tool for Actualising Primary Prevention? Helen R. Griffiths A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Cardiff University 2019 Summary Over the past forty years the transnational women’s movement has worked to conceptualise and institutionalise the understanding of violence against women as a gendered human rights violation . Their efforts have led the response at the international level , and have shaped the (markedly feminist) international human rights law approach to violen ce against women . Despite successes in conceptualising and institutionalising norms concerning the elimination of violence against women, there remain problems in implementin g these norms and holding s tate s accountable. As such, violence against women is still pandemic, affecti ng at least one in three women . An area worthy of additional research and attention is s tate responsibility for prevention – particularly primary prevention, aimed at the ‘upstream’ or ‘root’ causes of violence against women – and t he use of the due diligence standard as a tool for actualising this obligation. The due diligence standard is a significant deve lopment of s tate responsibility, which, within the context of human rights protection, broadens notions of state responsibility to include instances where there is a failure to exercise due care to prevent or respond to violative acts or omissions of private or no n-state actors. In the context of violence against women, this provides a ‘juridical bridge’ for addressing private viol ence, particularly domestic violence, as a human r ights violation, for which the s tate can – and should – be held accountable.
