The Small Copper, Lycaena phlaeas, is a bright little butterfly that occurs over most of the UK and much of Europe. It also seems to occur in Asia, North Africa and North America where it is know as the American Copper. Here there are two generations a year, with the first butterflies being seen in May. This generation is seen until late June and then there is a bit of a lull until the second generation appears in late July/early August. The second generation seems to be far more numerous and Small Copper butterflies are still seen flying through until early October.
Small Coppers aren't seen here in great numbers. The males are very territorial and will fly up and chase off any other insect that dares to fly too close. They usually then return to their favoured sunny spot, making they quite easy to photograph!
Quite a large proportion of the Small Coppers seen in East Lothian have a number of blue scales on their hind wings. This is referred to as the aberration caeruleopunctata. However, sometimes there can be as few as one blue scale on each wing and other times there can be five distinct blue spots. I am not convinced that this is so much an aberration as just a slight variation!
The two main food plants for Small Copper caterpillars here are Docken, Rumex obtusifolius, and Sorrel, Rumex acetosa. Here is a female I saw laying eggs on Docken a couple of years ago.
Two years ago, at the end of August, I saw a female laying eggs on some Sorrel at a restored open-cast coal mine. I noticed that a number of the Sorrel plants had Small Copper eggs on them, so I dug one of them up and planted it in a pot in my garden.
The egg was less than a millimetre across. A few days later the egg had clearly hatched, but it was a few days before I managed to find the caterpillar, which was larger than I expected (about 4mm long). Over the next few weeks, I was surprised to see that it appeared to be larger on some days than others. It was a while before it dawned on me that there were actually two caterpillars in the pot!!
I kept an eye on them for the next few weeks, but when the cold weather arrived in December they completely disappeared. Despite searching the plant thoroughly I couldn't find them and I thought that they may have become a snack for the garden birds.
However, in March I was pleased to find two large caterpillars and a smaller one in the pot!! They must have over-wintered just under the surface of the soil.
They munched their way through the sorrel until they reached about 10 or 12mm and then they disappeared again at the end of April. I presume that they formed chrysalises in the crown of the plant or in the soil, but I wasn't able to find them. Possibly they had wandered off to pupate in another part of the garden.

Very flexible, took most classes online which allowed me to finish my degree in-spite of some location concerns. Some classes towards the end required campus presence for a few final tests, exit interviews, presentations. I imagine these will be less and less as time goes on.

Month of Hope: Designer Spotlight, Week 3August 18, 2010, 16:36 pm Posted by Lark
It's week three in our Month of Hope, and we'd like to shine the spotlight on seven very talented designers, crafters, and artists who contributed their designs to the book Craft Hope as well as to charities around the world. Drumroll please…… Ladies and Gentlemen! May I present:
Rebeka Lambert
Beki lives with her husband and three children on the outskirts of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She inherited her love of sewing from her mother and grandmother. She enjoys creating bags, purses, quilts, and sweet little dresses for her daughters. Although she put crafting on hold during her first years as a mother, Beki is back at it thanks in part to the discovery of craft blogs. The daily feedback and sharing of ideas through blogging keeps her inspired. Beki has contributed to Lark Books' Pretty Little series, with projects featured in Pretty Little Potholders (Lark Books, 2008), Pretty Little Patchwork (Lark Books, 2008), and Pretty Little Purses and Pouches (Lark Books, 2008).

In her spare time she writes about her crafty adventures at www.pinkchalkstudio.com/blog.
Manda McGrory
Following an unusual career path that included running away with the circus, training as a carpenter, and working as a bank manager, Manda McGrory discovered her true passion for all things textile in 2005, when she was expecting her first daughter. Within a year, Manda started her own company, TreeFall Designs, and gained a large readership for her craft blog of the same name.

Hospitals seek growth via outpatient facilities
BVR's Healthcare Value Wire reports on a white paper from financial advisory firm Ponder & Co. that says hospital M&A activity is expected to be strong this year, but hospitals are shifting their sights. Up to now, much of the focus has been on acquiring inpatient, acute-care hospitals, but these are no longer the "money makers" of a health system. Instead, large outpatient centers and other clinical integration groups have become bigger pieces in the M&A game.
The report also reveals that:
- There are still likely to be many large, nonprofit transactions this year;
- For-profit chains may be less aggressive with M&As; and
- Regional system mergers will increase.

Montezuma, New York
The Town of Montezuma was established in 1859 at the western border of Cayuga County, northwest of Auburn, New York. Because of its easy access to Auburn, Michaels & Smolak has provided legal services to several Montezumans who have been injured in accidents or by medical malpractice. Recent clients from Montezuma include a woman who sustained a ruptured eyeball when she fell off a defective curb, and a young man who suffered a fractured spine in a motor vehicle accident.
Many injured and malpracticed Montezuma residents find their way to Michaels & Smolak through other Cayuga County lawyers who refer them there. Those other lawyers understand that Michaels & Smolak has developed an outstanding and deserved reputation for aggressively representing victims of accidents and medical malpractice. Most of the Cayuga County clients of Michaels & Smolak find their way to the firm through word of mouth from past clients, or by referrals from other lawyers.
Directions to the Auburn law offices of Michaels & Smolak from Montezuma can be found HERE.

Hello friends :)))
I'd love to share the wonderful initiative organized by Theresa (Shakespeare's Peddler). She designed this lovely pattern and she ask only a donation. These are her words:
"I am making this graph available to you and am asking you to make a donation of any size to Southern Pines Animal Shelter by using your Paypal account. Go to Paypal and send your donation to email@example.com (Valerie is our grant writer and fund raiser extraordinaire!) If you do not have a Paypal account, you can send a donation check directly to the shelter at 1901 N. 31st. Ave., Hattiesburg, MS 39401 (as always,
I don't recommend you send cash in the mail.) I am not requiring any particular donation, but can tell you that just $10 will feed two animals for a month. Five dollars will buy us ten (very needed) rolls of paper towels for keeping things clean. If you're feeling extra generous, $30 pays for neuter surgery for one male cat or kitten. Even just $2 will help us protect an animal from rabies with a vaccination.
To access this graph, you can click on the graphic below (the chart), and drag and drop it on your desktop. Then you can print it out for use; I have saved it for you 600 DPI as a jpg file. The quality of the copy you print will depend on the capability of your printer. If you don't have much luck printing this off, try asking a friend with a different printer to print it for you. If THAT doesn't work, you can send me a SASE to Theresa Venette, 10 Plainview Crossing, Hattiesburg, MS 39402.
A little bit about what we do at the shelter: Southern Pines was established in 1952 and last year accepted 5,000 unwanted, neglected, abused and lost dogs and cats from a 15-county area. We are a non-profit organization that strives to reunite lost pets with their owners, educates the public about the importance of responsible pet ownership, adopts out thousands of animals a year, sends other animals on transports and to breed-specific rescue groups, assists with hoarding, neglect and abuse cases, offers pet food to those in need, and much, much more. We operate a low-cost spay and neuter clinic that has done over 20,000 surgeries in the 3 1/2 years it has been open. We also have opened a Thrift Store and Adoption Center to assist us in our mission.
Thank you for your help. I hope you enjoy this design!"
So please, visit her blog, download a WONDERFUL pattern and make a donation for our furry friends :) THANKS :)))

Like English weather (as discussed by Melissa here), Dutch weather is unreliable at the best of times, and often wet. Sometimes, we get weeks of warm weather in summer but in other years, "summer" happens on a Tuesday in early May...
There have been a couple of warm days so far, but on Saturday, the weather suddenly turned seriously summer-y.
I realised it when I was at the market in the morning, to buy fruit. So, when I found this fine, loosely woven cotton on sale for 1 euro a meter, I couldn't resist and bought 3 meters. Even though I really don't need more fabric.
On Sunday, I had some time for sewing and decided it was time for a very summer-y project: a dress in that new fabric.
I wanted to make good use of the stripes and keep it simple at the same time, so I started drafting this:
Drafting it was easy enough but then, I hit a snag: Somehow, in the picture in my head, the stripes in the bodice had always been vertical, turning to a nice chevron at those center front darts. Just trying to put my pattern piece onto the fabric taught me that was an impossibility. But figuring that out took me way longer than in should have. I even went online to look at striped dresses on other blogs to see how they had solved the issue.
In the end, I had to submit to reality. I wanted the chevron at center front, so the stripes in the rest of the bodice would have to be horizontal.
I cut the bodice and carefully sewed the darts. Because this is a very light coloured fabric for me and because I worried a little bit about how those red stripes might make it look pink from a distance (and not a nice bright dark pink like my skirt, but a rather cute-sy variety), I used cotton thread so I can dye it later. I bought good Gutermann cotton thread for the purpose but my sewing machine wasn't a fan anyway. It kept skipping stitches... blegh....
Now, the dress still needs a neckline finish (which will be a facing, to best show off that stripe effect) a side zipper and a hem. I think I may have time for it on Thursday.
Anyway, I'll show it to you as soon as it's finished.

It is so funny! I like your playing with the stripes! The darts in the front add very interesting detailed to this dress. So now pictures wearing the dress :-)ReplyDelete
That's an interesting effect with the stripes like that! So glad you are getting some nice summer-y weather. I'm over winter already ;)ReplyDelete
I love the effect with the stripes!ReplyDelete
The way the stripes are on the bodice...is to DIE FOR! So pretty and eyecatching!ReplyDelete

I love the striped effect on the front. Would bias striped binding at the neck be too much?ReplyDelete

A few words are necessary in advance. The AF does not have a single perspective on fascism and the way to counter it. We view this as the kind of internal disagreement within libertarian organisations as healthy. There are differences of viewpoint on the nature of fascism, where it comes from, how it comes to power, and what kind of activity should be directed towards it. We published two of these viewpoints in parallel in issue 70 of our magazine Organise!, with one article arguing for militant, direct opposition to fascism and another arguing that fascism is a form of the capitalist state, and the way to counteract state attacks on the working class and 'undesirable' sections of it is to build our ability to fight back as a class. Such differences inform the practical activity groups and individual members undertake on a local level.

I spent my second week at the MTC in the medical in-patient department (IPD) which is split into three separate rooms. There's one big room with more serious patients placed closer to what is essentially a nurses station and two smaller rooms for TB and suspected TB patients, and malaria patients. The thing about TB treatment is that it is basically a minimum of 6 months of 4 or 5 different medications and lost to follow up at the MTC is a major issue, so only a very select group of patients are able to receive TB treatment as it is costly to supply and monitor. The remainder are put in contact with hospitals inside Burma or other NGOs which can supply the 6 months worth of treatment.
I think the week in IPD really highlighted the differences in healthcare between a place like the MTC and Australia. I remember my first clinical rotation in third year was in the renal department for two weeks where I met a woman who was grateful to have kidney disease over something like heart disease, because there was still hope for her with dialysis and transplantation. However, here at the MTC access to such treatments is out of the reach of most patient's finances. I met a young woman, only 30 years old with a young son who has chronic renal failure. When she was admitted she passed 10mL of urine over 2 days, and had such significant facial oedema (swelling) that when she rolled over from her side to her back, the two sides of her face were different shapes due to the compression of the pillow. For those first two days every time we walked passed to assess another patient I always had a quick look at her urine bag to see if there was anything in there. Luckily on her third day she managed to pass ~1 litre of urine. I've never been happier to see urine because it means she still has more time and her kidneys haven't completely abandoned her.
You know how blood groups are divided into + and - groups? Well most Asians have a + blood group. In western countries pregnant women are screened for their blood group specifically to determine if they are + or - because if their fetus is not in the same group as them it can cause issues in the future. In Asia it's not such big issue since - blood groups are rare. But I met a patient, another young woman who had an A- blood group and had a haemoglobin of 5.9, low enough to warrant a transfusion, probably two, but given that the donor blood is from the local area there was no - blood to give. She also had a difficult to determine illness, but TB treatment seems to have resulted in a significant improvement.
Not all the stories from the clinic are this extreme. Most patient recover and go home in better shape then they came in. The clinic provides two meals a day, and it's substantial enough that most share with their family. One of the best things about the MTC is the family's involvement in the treatment of the patient. On one of the days, a patient a few beds down from where we were got up to turn on the switch for the fan when he suddenly fell backwards hitting his head on the corner of another bed. Instantly about four men, three of them some other patient's family members and another was actually a patient helped to clear the area, and managed to lift the convulsing patient onto the bed between seizures. They also helped to secure his limbs whilst an anti-convulsant was administered.
Another major difference is between theory and practical application. At university we participated in an online health economics course which outlined the basics of the costs of healthcare and cost efficiency and basically how every dollar counts, but I don't think you can truly understand what is meant by health economics until you visit a clinic like the MTC. The lab at the MTC does the more common blood tests such as haemoglobin levels, white cell counts and malaria testing but the more extensive ones are sent to the Mae Sot Hospital which costs money. And for every single blood test and x-ray that is ordered you really need to question whether or not it is necessary and if it would change the treatment outcome. There are actually charts on the wall which tell you how much each test will cost, which helps you narrow down which one test is going to be most cost effective to order. Whereas in Australia most patients will have had a blood test just because.
One of the Mae Tao Clinic slogans is 'Health as Human Rights' and that just the thing that we all probably need to think about. Access to medical treatment for health should be equal regardless of financial status. Women should not have to worry about the increased mortality rate that comes with being pregnant and giving birthing in a developing country. And the saddest thing here is that a baby is not named for the first 7 days in case it doesn't make it through their first week of life. So spare a thought for those who don't have the easy access to healthcare that we do the next time you pop into the doctor's office.

The opener, Jason Webley, had an angry accordion sound that was a hell of a lot better than you'd expect accordion music to be. Have a listen to an excerpt from The Drinking Song, a rousing ballad that we were all swaying and singing the chorus to:
When the glass is full,
Drink up! Drink up!
This maybe the last time
We see this cup.
If God wanted us sober,
He'd knock the glass over,
So while it is full we drink up!
When the Dolls came on I was blown away by the intensity of her voice and her playing. Husky and filled with passion, angry at times, sad an poignant at others, she is incredible. For contrast, check out Coin Operated Boy (Quicktime movie) and Girl Anachronism (Quicktime movie or mp3).
After the show, I bought two of Jason Webley's CDs and two of the Dreden Dolls CDs. Amanda came out after the show to sign stuff. In her post-show The Who shirt and striped leggings, she still exuded a sexuality and intensity that made everyone else in the room seem flat in comparison.
The Dresden Dolls will be at the 9:30 Club on May 20. As your soon to be attorney, I advise you to go.
Yours truly,
Mr. X

Looking for Halutz -- First 72 hours
Within its first 72 hours, AJME's campaign to alert the Harvard community to be on the lookout for the notorious war criminal Dan Halutz [dossier here] -- studying at Harvard Business School until 23 May -- has made headlines from London to Karachi. Our efforts have been covered by al-Jazeera English, TIME.com, two of the leading pan-Arab dailies, and major national newspapers in Israel, Turkey, and Pakistan [see our press page for more], and our website has received thousands of visitors.
We've also posted a few of the many letters sent to Harvard administrators sharing our concerns and supporting our call for Harvard to end its practice of hiring and training known war criminals and human rights abusers.
In the meantime, we still need your help -- not just in exposing Halutz, but in spreading the word about our campaign and sending us any information on other war crimes or human rights abusers who have studied or worked at Harvard, regardless of nationality.

SBML Composition Workshop 2007
University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, CT, USA, 9-10 September 2007
Model composition refers to the ability to include models as submodels inside other models. This requires defining the interfaces between the models and protocols for connecting parts of models together. One of the anticipated extensions for SBML Level 3 is to support model composition.
The Virtual Cell group at the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC), and in particular Ion Moraru, co-organized and hosted a mini-workshop on model composition in September 2007. The meeting was proposed by Ion Moraru and Michael Blinov to follow up on impromptu discussions about submodels/model composition during the Fifth SBML Hackathon earlier in 2007. The goal was to make further progress towards a draft SBML Level 3 extension. This set of wiki pages is based on those originally written and hosted on the VCell Web wiki at the time of the meeting.
Workshop results
The overall conclusion of the workshop was that 2 separate proposals will be developed. One will focus on the language elements required for the actual "model composition" (but brings also additional, initially unforeseen, functionality—such as encoding parameter sets and multiple related simulations). The other will focus on the mechanics of simply assembling SBML from bits and pieces (linking in multiple files and/or fragments thereof).
It is expected that the first proposal will be a bonafide L3 extension, wehereas the second will be (part of) L3 core enhancement(s). Links to the proposals are providede below, followed by the original materials/details/agenda, etc. of the workshop.
- Hierarchical Modeling (formerly Model Composition)—L3 extension proposal
- Modularity In Core—L3 core enhancement proposal

Despite the fanfare in New York and around the world surrounding the 10th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women, Peace and Security, is there anything worth celebrating? In short, the answer is "Yes, but…"
On 31 October 2010, the international community marked the 10th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution (SCR) 1325 on Women, Peace and Security. This landmark resolution adopted in October 2000 was the first time that the UN specifically addressed the issue of women in situations of armed conflict.
The most important contribution of the research, advocacy and programming around SCR 1325 to date has been in highlighting the commitment, innovation and energy of women around the world who are building peace in their communities, countries, and through networks that reach across the globe.
Join the conversation
The problem is that too often these activities are invisible and marginalised in the informal sphere. That's why we want to hear from you:
- What is the situation in your country with respect to SCR 1325?
- Do you think that the resolutions have made any difference in the struggle against gender-based violence? If not, what could be done to improve the situation?
- How can we engage men more effectively in our efforts to implement SCR 1325?
- Do you think that women and girls in conflict-affected countries are better off than they were 10 years ago?
- Can you share any examples of where women have been able to make a difference in peace negotiations, peacekeeping missions or post-conflict reconstruction?
Women as agents of change
War affects men and women in different ways, and they also have different needs during the post-conflict phase. Importantly, it is now widely acknowledged that women are not just victims of conflict, but that they can be peacebuilders and key agents for change in their communities, as well as perpetrators or instigators of violence. Recognising this is essential for the sustainability and inclusiveness of peacebuilding processes, and the Security Council resolutions, the many National Action Plans on Women, Peace and Security, and the countless other policies and frameworks that have been developed over the past ten years reaffirm this. But is this all empty rhetoric?
Since 2000, there have been some steps forward:
- The UN has appointed a Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict;
- A Civil Society Advisory Group on the implementation of SCR 1325 has been established;
- A set of proposed indicators for monitoring SCR 1325 have been drafted;
- The number of women appointed to head UN peacekeeping missions is slowly rising;
- Rwanda, a post-conflict country that experienced sexual violence on an unprecedented scale, now boasts the highest proportion of women in parliament at 56%.
But while these issues are on the table in a way that was unthinkable ten years ago, the full protection and participation of women in peace and security processes is still a long way off:
- In a sample of 24 major peace processes since 1992, less than 3% of signatories have been women;
- Women make up only 3% of uniformed peacekeepers and 8% of UN police;
- In August 2010, more than 300 women and children were raped in Walikale, DRC, only a few kilometers from a UN peacekeeping base;
- An analysis of Post-Conflict Needs Assessments in six countries found that less than 5% of activities and only 2.9% of budget lines were found to mention women's needs and issues
Why are these resolutions not being implemented?
In the run-up to October 2010, a number of reports, articles and books were published in an attempt to take stock, highlight progress and identify gaps in the implementation of SCR 1325. According to a report released just before the 10th anniversary surveying women's opinions in six countries, "bureaucratic inertia, leadership vacuums, empty rhetoric and fundamental misunderstanding about this agenda" are some of the main reasons.
A new book assessing the implementation of SCR 1325 through 8 country and 4 regional case studies finds that the lack of accountability and monitoring mechanisms, the limited financial resources and the failure to build on the community-based initiatives of women's organisations are three key obstacles to the successful implementation of the resolution. It is this latter point that may hold the key for ensuring more gender-sensitive approaches to peace and security over the next decade.
Therefore, the real question that needs to be answered is whether or not there has been any concrete impact on the ground. Are the needs of women and girls living in conflict-affected regions being addressed? Are they empowered to participate and engage in peacebuilding and recovery processes? In short, is there now more peace and security for women than there was 10 years ago?

This week is National Crime Victims' Rights Week. The theme this year is Serving Victims. Building Trust. Restoring Hope., which highlights the need for early intervention and victims services that build trust with crime survivors, and creates hope that healing is possible.
We've been working with crime survivors for over 10 years. And what we've learned from them over and over again is that these services – and a commitment to healing – remain out of reach for the vast majority of them.
Crime survivors aren't getting the help they need
The numbers agree – estimates are that more than 90% of crime survivors don't access any victims services. You read that right: 90% of the people in the U.S. who've been hurt, robbed, shot, assaulted, abused, raped, or had a family member murdered got no formal help to process their trauma, cope with their grief, or rebuild their lives in even practical ways.
Shelby Farah was a bright, compassionate, determined 20-year-old when she was shot to death during a robbery at the Metro-PCS store where she worked. Shelby's murder shocked the community in Jacksonville, Florida, and her family has spent the last two and a half years grieving their loss.
The death penalty has added to this trauma, as they have been forced to endure an extended legal process, increased media scrutiny, their own complex feelings about the death penalty, and a polarizing, public debate about it at a time when they need each other most.
Colorado has opened its application process for organizations to apply for funds through the Federal Victims Of Crime Act (VOCA). If you are an organization in Colorado that works with crime survivors or victims' families, you may be eligible to apply through this RFP process.
Through our VOCA Funding Toolkit, and assistance from our Grassroots Capacity Building Specialist, EJUSA can help groups determine if they are eligible, answer questions about the process, and provide some support for your group's application. Please contact Latrina Kelly-James at firstname.lastname@example.com or (203) 823-5826 or download the toolkit here.
You spoke, and Congress listened! Thanks to everyone who participated in our #DontCutVOCA action, we have something to celebrate in the New Year: Congress approved an appropriations bill that increases funding for crime survivor services, known as VOCA funding, by over 15% in 2016.
The Partnership for Safety and Justice, a criminal justice reform organization in Oregon, just launched a new website, Help.Hope.Heal, for people whose friends or family members have been harmed by crime or violence. The website includes advice and resources to help you learn what to say and do to support your friend and yourself, so that you can be the best caregiver you can be. The site is beautiful and inviting.
As part of our growing work to bring racial equity to victims' services, EJUSA published a comprehensive toolkit to help groups apply for Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funding. The toolkit is geared towards organizations serving crime survivors – particularly in communities of color – that have not had access to federal funding in the past.
EJUSA Grassroots Capacity Building Specialist Latrina Kelly-James led a webinar to introduce the toolkit and help organizations understand the funding that is available. Over 45 organizational leaders participated, and many more have downloaded the toolkit or reached out for support in applying for funds.

We need your urgent action to help save critical funding for victims services.
Every year, Congress sets a level of spending from a fund known as VOCA. These are not tax dollars. Many of these funds go to community groups to support vital services like trauma intervention and counseling for people who have been harmed by crime and violence.
On September 25, in honor of National Day of Remembrance for Murder Victims, I spent time reaching out to several family members of murder victims. Some survivors shared the traditions they have developed over the years to mark the day, including visiting burial grounds or viewing commemorative videos and photographs. Others told me that the day was just as difficult as any other day of loss and grief.
For Tamika Darden-Thomas, an African American resident of Newark, New Jersey, sharing her story with others has been a source of great healing, and she was eager to also share it with me.
For 25 years, you've helped us tackle one of the most serious flaws in the U.S. justice system: the death penalty. We're not done with that work. But you know what? We're almost there. Really.
So what's next when we end the death penalty?
We believe it's not enough to just dismantle the parts of the justice system that aren't working. We also have to build up the system we want in its place.
Today, we're expanding that part of our work with two new programs that I'm thrilled to share with you:

The Zuni people, like other Pueblo Indians, are believed to be the descendents of the Ancient Puebloans who lived in the desert Southwest of New Mexico, Arizona, Southern Colorado and Utah for a thousand years. Today the Zuni Pueblo, some 35 miles south of Gallup, New Mexico has a population of about 6,000. Archeological evidence shows they have lived in this location for about 1,300 years.
Their tribal name is A'shiwi (Shi'wi), meaning "the flesh." The name "Zuni" was a Spanish adaptation of a word of unknown meaning. The Zuni speak their own unique language which is unrelated to the languages of the other Pueblo peoples and continue to practice their traditional shamanistic religion with its regular ceremonies, dances, and mythology.
In the year 1540 the first Spanish explorers encountered the Zuni Indians living in six or seven large pueblos along the banks of the Zuni River, of which, all are in ruins today.
These villages were located next to fertile ground where the Zuni could take advantage of abundant water resources. The Zuni had a successful and well-established agricultural economy.
The arrival of the Spaniards explorers disrupted the Zuni's trading patterns, land use, and settlement system, as well as introducing new diseases which took a devastating toll among their population. However, the Spaniards also introduced domestic livestock and new crops, including wheat and peaches.
During the seventeenth century there was a decline in the Zuni population and subsequently, in the number of occupied villages. The attrition was the result political pressure from the Spaniards, and raiding from the Navajo and Apache. Violence soon became a regular part of the otherwise peaceful Zuni as they defended their land and resources from encroachment from other groups and resisted Spanish attempts to suppress their culture and religion.
The Zunis joined with other pueblos in August of 1680 in the historic Pueblo Revolt which succeeded in driving the Spaniards out of New Mexico.
Afterwards, the Zuni fled to the top of the Dowa Yalanne mesa and prepared for defense. Between 1680 and 1692 the Zuni built and maintained a large settlement that incorporated many pueblo rooms on the mesa top, an area of less than 617 acres. Since it did not contain enough land to support the entire Zuni population, the Zuni continued to farm and graze livestock in the valleys below.
Dowa Yalanne was pivotal in the development Zuni settlement patterns as it was the first village in which the whole Zuni population gathered into a single settlement. Although it is unlikely that the other villages were totally abandoned, apparently every Zuni family maintained a residence atop the Dowa Yalanne that could be used for refuge when the Spaniards returned. The mesa top was also a position defensible against the hostile attacks of the Apache.
In 1692, Diego de Varga, the Spanish general in charge of the "reconquest," entered the village peacefully, made amends, and convinced the Zuni to relinquish the occupation of Dowa Yalanne. Rather than return to their former scattered pueblos, the entire tribe settled at at Halonawa on the north bank of the Zuni River. Following this event, Halonawa became known as the Zuni Pueblo.
Continued Navajo and Apache raiding led to the establishment of sheep camps which were utilized as refuge sites. Situated along ridges and on the benches throughout the Zuni River Valley, these safe areas were difficult to access, having many hidden corrals and small rooms. Other refuge sites were established at the base of mesas for agricultural purposes.
In 1848 the Americans asserted their authority over the Mexican Southwest, and in 1877 federal officials created the Zuni Reservation. The Southern Pacific Railroad reached nearbyGallup, New Mexico, in 1881, signaling a new era of non-Indian expansion and settlement.
Missionaries accompanied the newcomers including Mormons who settled east of the village in the Zuni mountains in 1876, and Presbyterians a year later. Traders also arrived, encouraging the Zunis to raise sheep and cattle for shipment east and a new cash based economy began.
The Zuni are distinct in that they have managed to remain quite unaffected by outer influences. They still claim the same land they always lived on, an area about the size of Rhode Island. They also mainly reside in one city — Zuni, New Mexico.
Although there are Zuni Indians who live outside of the city and the general area, they are few and far between. The tribe has managed to remain intact due to the fact that they did not get involved in problems, conflicts, or wars that didn't concern their own people. Remaining autonomous, they were relatively unaffected by the changes around them.
Zuni life, much like it was in the past, is still deeply religious and very different from that of other tribes. The Zuni gods are believed to reside in the lakes of Arizona and New Mexico. The chiefs and the shamans carry out ceremonies during religious festivals. Song and dance accompanies masked performances by the chiefs while the shamans pray to the gods for favors ranging from fertile soil to abundant amounts of rain. The shamans play an important role in the community as they are looked upon for guidance as well as knowledge and healing.
The Zuni people are, in a way, a mysterious tribe. The Zuni Reservation is isolated from the outside world which allows the people to go about their existence relatively unencumbered by modern western civilization. They still live a peaceful, deeply religious existence. The reliance on corn as a mainstay of their economy has been replaced, however, by the tourist trade in pottery and jewelry.

|Look Inside: Amazon UK
Look Inside: Amazon US
Well as it turns out I did have one or two problems and it took me longer to read than I normally take to read a book, but I think that was purely because the first few chapters were a bit on the slow side. I used a phrase while reviewing another book once and it applies to this one as well, it was this; "What we ended up with was a book that began with a forgettable stroll around the park, jumped over the railing onto the running track and into a gentle jog and then burst into a sprint as the story progressed."
I think this sums up Incorporeal quite well as and unless I go back and read the first few chapters again, I couldn't tell you much about what was going on. I'm not putting all of that on the author, remember, this is my first paranormal love story, so it was, in all likelihood down to me adjusting to the different genre...
But from about chapter 4 on, I was hooked. It turned out to be a well written story and probably things that I missed at the beginning were made clearer to me as the book progressed. Sara Wise slogs away in an office by day and writes paranormal love stories by night. Ever since she was a girl she has had the ability to see and communicate with spirits from the other side. Sometimes good experiences sometimes bad. Her mother never understood, her father did. her father was the buffer between her and her mother and when he dies her life falls apart and her mother puts her in an orphanage......
Usually ghosts turn up, ask her to pass on a message, she never does, and then they disappear, Nathan on the other hand had turned up two months ago and had steadfastly refused to move on saying that he was not permitted to...
Sara dreamt of Nathan but couldn't see him and while she didn't like the thought of not being able to get rid of a ghost she was becoming used to him being around. It was doubly annoying that Nathan would not tell her anything about himself, to begin with. But, as time passed she discovers that he has been dead for over 500 years. His family were wealthy Jewish merchants in Spain but the king and Queen of Spain wanted their wealth and their ships and so arranged for the family to be killed by Inquisitors. Nathan had not 'crossed over' as he was not present when the family were murdered and he had blamed himself for not being there to protect them. He had eventually escaped on a ship to England, the birth place of his mother also from a wealthy family, but who had ostracised their daughter for marrying a Jew, where he later died.
What Nathan hadn't told Sara was that he was not permitted to move on as he had been placed there in that house with her as her Guardian to try and protect her from something or someone, he didn't know what, that would place her life in danger, nor could he tell her, even if he knew, when this danger would manifest itself. Well that's all I can tell you about the story without actually spoiling the book for you.
What I can tell you is that the story did have substance to it, well if you can believe in ghosts - and why not - we largely suspend our belief in almost anything when we are reading a work of fiction or watching a movie - so do so here and you will find a love story with a bit of suspense and a bit of 'murder, death, kill' thrown in for good measure. A single woman who finds love with an incorporeal man who becomes corporeal, but can it, and does it last, or are there shades of the Ghost and Mrs Muir?
The syntax flowed along and there was no problems with this, and as I mentioned earlier once I got past the first couple of chapters it kept me entertained and ready to turn the page. The Love Scenes seemed well written without being over the top and I didn't feel uncomfortable reading them and they didn't take up all of the book.
There was a couple of minor inconsistencies and I found it, at first, hard to believe that in the modern age Sara didn't have an actual phone in her home, only a mobile but then I thought about a friend of mine who relies solely on a mobile and doesn't have a land line either but has a USB toggle for wi-fi, so not all that inconsistent there I suppose! There was a couple of blank pages between the end of one chapter and the beginning of the next, and when this happens you at first think that your Kindle has suddenly shut down, but as I say, only a couple of these so not a major problem. All in all I'm glad I kept reading it.

Spurs Having Worst Start to Season in 35 Years
The Spurs are off to their worst start since opening the 1973-74 ABA season 0-4. It was their first season in San Antonio after playing in Dallas as the Chaparrals. The Spurs joined the NBA in 1976.
Tony Parker led San Antonio with 22 points and Tim Duncan scored 19 as the Spurs continue to play without Manu Ginobili. He's not expected back until December after surgery to repair his left ankle.
"Uncharted territory for us," Duncan said of the 0-3 start. "We've played some bad basketball so far, to say the least."

The new trailer for This is 40 features Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd lovingly plotting each other's death
This second trailer for Judd Apatow's semi-sequel to KNOCKED UP puts the focus squarely on Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann. THIS IS 40 looked to be the typical Apatow schtick in the previous trailer, but this one looks better. Maybe it is because I am married with a couple of kids, but I can relate to taking four dumps a day so that I can catch up on my tablet.
We also get our first glimpses at John Lithgow and Albert Brooks. Brooks, who is playing Rudd's father, seems like he has a pretty substantial role in the film. We also get a nice shot of Megan Fox and her lovely bewbage.
Check out THIS IS 40.
Plot: Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann are reprising their characters of husband and wife from Judd Apatow's KNOCKED UP in a new story by the writer-director-producer. Many of the character details are being kept secret but it is understood that Ryan Lee will play the son of Melissa McCarthy, a mom at the school that Rudd and Mann's children attend.
There is a lot of hate out there for Apatow placing his wife in all of his movies. I personally don't have a problem with Leslie Mann. Sure, her voice can be a little annoying, but she plays her roles well. She seems more like a real person that a lot of actresses out there, albeit a perky, thin, pretty, rich, blonde person.

Another really cool museum that my family and I visited in California was the California Academy of Sciences. They had lots of really cool exhibits! My favorite was a prehistoric mammals exhibit, but unfortunately, pictures weren't allowed inside, so therefore I don't have any pictures! We also didn't get to visit the whole museum, but the parts that we did we all really enjoyed! But I did get a few pictures of some of the other really cool things, so here they are! A brief overview of the California Academy of Sciences! Enjoy! First, we are going to look at what they call "The Living Roof," which is a cutting edge....garden. However, although it does sound a bit unexciting, it was actually pretty cool, as the cutting edge garden was on the roof! (Hence the name "The Living Roof," in case you missed that part.) It actually always reminds me of the Shire from Lord of the Rings!
albino alligator! Definitely don't see those every day!

While many fans are apparently happy to accept any changes the current owners wish to impose upon them providing the Malaysian money keeps rolling in, some of us are now seriously questioning the levels of our commitment to the club in light of recent events. But regardless of where you stand on the subject of the re-branding, there can be no doubting that the feelgood factor which had built up around the Bluebirds since the arrival of Malky Mackay has rapidly evaporated.
The level of bickering on the fans' message boards is understandable given the circumstances, but one of the things that has bothered me most about this ignominious episode is the amount of rubbish that has been written about the meetings which took place at the Cardiff City Stadium on Tuesday 8 May and Thursday 10 May.
3) During both meetings, it was stated by club officials that Tan Sri Vincent Tan sees the colour red and the dragon emblem as being symbolic of a fusion between Welsh and Malaysian cultures. It was also claimed that Mr Tan views red as being a more powerful and lucky colour than blue. There were vague suggestions that red is easier to market in the Far East, but the fans present were given no indications of any actual strategies or business plans that were attached to the proposed changes. Direct questions were asked by several of us in that particular regard, but they were not met with any definitive answers by the Chief Executive or his staff.
4) Towards the end of the meeting on 8 May, a straw poll of the thirteen fans in attendance was held on the subject of the re-branding. This poll was conducted by club officials on the clear understanding of all present that the opinions being expressed were personal and in no way representative of the membership of the Cardiff City Supporters' Club, the Cardiff City Supporters' Trust, the Cardiff City Away Travel Group or the club's wider fanbase.
While he was Twittering away in the days following the alleged message board leak, Bluebirds director Steve Borley suggested the fans needed to see the whole story behind the re-branding proposals before they reached any firm conclusions. Mr Borley was, of course, entirely correct, and yet it's now almost a month since the plans first emerged and the supporters are still none the wiser about the situation. The reasoning behind the ideas to switch from blue to red and substitute the Bluebird for a dragon have yet to be properly outlined by any of the club's officials.

So what has gone on?
- Two dinners with my SIL and my niece.
- Sadly they are heading back to NWT today, hopefully it goes well as Toronto has snow this morning and freezing rain coming as the day warms to +4C
- My parents have headed south to Florida
- Which means I can do a little cheap-shipping online shopping this week (yay!)
- Last day of principle photography for Mr Lina's next movie was Saturday
- I did sew 24m of fabric into 3 backdrops - more on that below
- Corin Raymond released Paper Nickles - his Canadian Tire funded album, we went to the Wednesday release party
- A bowling tournament yesterday.
- I did not bowl well but it was nice to bowl on wood. The lanes I usually bowl at are synthetic, it's just not the same.
So those backdrops. They took way longer than I thought a few straight seams were going to take. In short, these needed to be 9' high and light blue would be 15' wide and two in black about 7' wide each. Mr. Lina wasn't sure how they were going to hang so flexibility was key. I still wasn't healthy when we bought the fabric so some math was not quite right.
9' = 2.7m so we did buy 3m per panel leaving 30cm for a hem etc, 4 panels = 12m
45" x 4 panels = 180" = 15'
Anyone see the math problem there? 4 panels need to be sewn together. Sewn together means there will be seam allowances. And the blue fabric wasn't 45", it was 44". By the time I sewed those 4 panels together and remeasured I was short by 8".
I am the win.
And when I measured out the black fabric (I thought starting with the smaller backdrops was wise) I added maybe 3 inches (7cm) for hem forgetting I'd need to also turn fabric at the top and that I wanted the bottom hem big enough to add weight or possibly slide through a dowel and that I did buy enough fabric for a 15cm hem. So I really had to keep as much as I could at the top.
I thought it was rather unlikely they would have a true curtain rod to slide these curtains onto so I had to think about the top. Ties seemed time consuming, velcro an option but not one I was really keen on. Sewing velcro is not fun and at 9', that's a lot of weight for velcro to hold. I decided some looped tabs at the top would be good. If they could slide something through it, great. If not, the tab would be easier to clamp or we could tie it to something or later on I could add velcro and make it fold down. In the end, they had a bunch of these riser things that could make an upside down L, the tabs went through the short part of the L at the top and they clamped it to the long side of the L to hold it taught.
To get these tabs to aim up, bias tape seemed the best option for attaching it to the backdrop (added benefit of keeping a lot of the fabric for the black backdrops that I cut short). I had a package of black bias tape but it wasn't going to be enough for both backdrops. I didn't have anything light coloured for the blue. So what seemed like oh, a handful of 9'/15' straight seams turned into making well over 20' of bias tape. That's a whole lot of ironing. I did not count the bias tape nor tabs into my fabric purchase either. There was enough for the black fabric because I only needed it for two panels and cut the hems short, but the blue backdrop, well...
My poor math skills also required a pieced side panel for the blue backdrops. Being a few inches shy of 15' was okay, 8" was too much. With the little fabric I had left (keep in mind I did leave a good hem allowance on these having "learned" from the black panels) I had 18" of fabric left that cut in 3 could be a 6" panel but after seam allowances only added 5" (so it's still only 14' and 9"). It was close enough. I didn't like the look of the pieced panel. Being pale blue and cheap broadcloth, seams showed. Wrinkles showed. Everything showed. Fortunately, as much as the room was 15' wide, they needed less than 14' to show and the sides were wrapped around the pole so the pieced part was not on screen and it all worked out well. Once they added the television show logo to the fabric (paper letters attached with scotch tape), it looked like a (very) low budget children's television show.
|Groopa maintenance between takes. I swear I ironed every seam.
I thought I'd be able to do all of this last Saturday, maybe we would even go to a late matinee. By 5pm Saturday, one of the black backdrops was done but I still had to make the bias tape etc for the other and the blue fabric had not been touched. Clearly, I underestimated the time involved. Sunday afternoon I was finally done. It was 4pm and I was still in my housecoat not even showered for the day. It's a damn good thing someone had to cancel the 3pm lighting tests because I was not done in time for that.
All is well that ends well. I have a 14" by 16" piece of blue fabric and about 6" of black fabric left, essentially nothing. When I saw them raising the curtains to 9' and put the lettering up, I felt really proud that it was my contribution to the film.
On filming day I did craft services duty (aka food) and I got to be an extra. As an extra, I was the puppeteer for Jingles, the girly puppet with bells all over. All I had to do was walk off stage and guide my brother Scot wearing the Groopa suit and look unhappy. I don't think much of me shows on camera (I was an extra after all), but I was wearing a Renfrew for it. It was a strategic choice on my part to wear something self made.

Over the weekend I ran the Color Me Rad 5k with my husband and it was pretty rad in my opinion. Before I get too carried away let me explain how we decided upon this event. About three weeks ago on a Sunday night I was sitting at my computer probably surfing the net when kind of out of nowhere I sent the link for the Color Me Rad 5k to my husband who was sitting in his office doing the same thing. I didn't really think he would want to do with me...
I was in for a surprise the next morning when he emailed me the confirmation info for our registration. Gulp, I guess we are really doing this and have less than 3 weeks to prepare. For some a 5k may not be that big of a deal but for me it was. I have been active most of my life. In high school we ran between 1/2 - 1 mile every day. In college I played intramural sports and walked all over campus. I was physically fit. Then I got married. Ok marriage isn't the reason I'm not in good physical shape. I started having some health problems and found myself being put on physical restrictions off and on. And I got older and my body isn't quite the same as it was when I was 20. Long story short: Three weeks ago I couldn't even run half of a mile without stopping to walk a little.
The husband and I started running together at night, when we could. It's hard trying to train and balance life and three jobs. We found we could typically only run three days a week which meant that each week was almost like starting over.
After three weeks, I still dislike running as much as I did when I started. Why? Running makes me feel weak and every day I ran I could hear the sapping music start playing and Bob Harper trying to psycho analyze me. How did I get to this point? Each time it would bring all the emotions from my miscarriages up, the ones I'm trying to
With that being said, I'm still glad I did it.
The Color Me Rad 5k itself was actually a lot of fun. I ran at least 2 1/3 miles out of the 3. Maybe not consecutively but I did run a mile before my first walk. As we were running my husband turned to me and said, "I don't think I've ever smiled so much while running." Part of that is because it was something we were doing together. The other part is that the race really is just fun.
Who doesn't love to get into a color fight, throwing colored cornstarch packets at one another? We found ourselves getting a little giddy as we ran through each color station where volunteers were spraying us with color. Besides the color itself some of the things I really loved was that is was no-pressure race. People of all ages, shapes, and sizes were participating. I love that is was promoting a healthy life-style is such a fun manner. There were little kids running and people three times my age walking. Moms with strollers were out pushing themselves as much as they could. Some walked the entire way while others raced to the finish line. It wasn't a timed race, it really was all about having fun and getting out and exercising just a little bit.
I did feel a small sense of accomplishment as I pushed myself and did a little bit better than I have at home and no one judged me for how big or small of an accomplishment that was.
Like I said, I didn't love running one bit while training. However, I did love the time it gave me with my husband. With our crazy schedules it gave us an opportunity to actually talk and catch up. It gave us a common goal to work for. Now that I'm done I still think we will try and run together, maybe sign up for another race. I'm hoping that the more I do it, the easier it will get and that someday I won't feel like crying every single time I do it. It will at least give the husband and I something to look forward to. Anyone else do a Color Me Rad 5k or a similar race?

Anurag Singh's Yaar Anmulle when released in 2011 set the trend of what was to come for many years in Punjabi Cinema. The film featured rank new comers and went on to become one of the biggest hits of 2011 and 5 years down the line, the film has gone on to attain the cult status among cinema lovers.
Suddenly, few days ago an announcement took me by surprise. The 1st look of Yaar Anmulle 2 was released. The film had 3 actors or wait singer turned actors. The first look did not impress me at all. Now the trailer of the film has also arrived last night. The trailer never gives an impression or a hint of what the story is. A sequence of 2 seems lifted from 3 idiots whereas the rest of the trailer was about funny gags, slapstick comedy & so on.
I felt bad for the team of the original. I felt bad for the writer-director of the of the original. I felt bad for all the actors who were a part of the original. I felt bad for the musicians & singers of the original. Everybody on that team who worked hard to make that film what it is today. This trailer did not seem to have a story, good music, actors did not know what they were doing & so on.
Just because a film has worked, does not mean that the producers have got the right to use the same title as a brand name, add a 2 or a 3 in front of it and imagine the crowds lining up outside the theatres to watch the film of the same brand they loved 5 years ago. I loved Yaar Anmulle when it released 5 years ago. I remember watching it 4 times in the cinema hall, last time with a cousin from America who so wanted to watch the film in it's 5th week and we had a hall which was more that half occupied. That's when you know people have loved the film & accepted it.
Now, come December 23rd, theatres will be occupied, lines will be there, people will come to the theatres to watch a film but I am afraid that the film they will end up watching will not be Yaar Anmulle 2. If the makers do not know, let me remind then that there's a bollywood biggie opening on December 23 with a banner like Disney, an actor like Aamir Khan and the title is DANGAL. I will watch Yaar Anmulle 2 as well as I have to review the film for all of you out there. So All the Best to the makers.
Here's the trailer of the film. Watch out for yourself & judge it:

The NFL 2018 playoff pool is not without its familiar faces in teams like the New England Patriots (#1 AFC seed) and their SB51 NFC opponent, the Atlanta Falcons (Wild Card), but not in recent memory have there been so many surprises, in and out of the post-season festivities.
On the AFC in-side, that means the Bills, Jaguars and Chiefs.
Most would've figured pre-season that if a 2nd Eastern squeaked into the PS it'd be either the Dolphins or Jets, not Buffalo who're still iffy on the QB state that'll carry over into the next season no matter how they fair in this playoff run.
In Jacksonville, many were writing off fourth-year starter Blake Bortles who's thrown 64 INTs in that span while his team averaged all of four (4) wins in each season prior to 2017's surge upward (10-6).
The Chiefs were figured by most to contend this season and things looked promising with another 5-0 start for Reid's guys, but with a 1-6 mid-season swoon things turned gloomy for the Arrowhead bunch until their late-season adjustment when they went 4-0 to close, luckily in a woeful AFC West.
In the NFC, Eagles and Vikings, both finishing 13-3, like the Bills, were seen as possible contenders who might slip into the party but without much fanfare.
The Saints, winners of the South and possessing of maybe the greatest passing QB of our time in Drew Brees, are a surprising participant in this post-season only in that they've been mired in mediocrity for three straight 7-9 finishes.
The Rams of Los Angeles, THEY, like the Jags, are a full-blown, genuine, grade-A surprise, reaching eleven (11) victories and taking the West crown.
But what may be more surprising about this playoff field are the no-shows, teams many expected to make the playoffs and whose absence would've had GomerPyle USMC (JimNabors d.11.30.17) exclaiming his trademark expression to the four-corners of his Carolina county: "Surprise, surprise, surprise!"
Ten player names and their absence for most of the 2017 regular season explain in large part why most of their respective teams didn't get their tickets punched: Four in the AFC in Dolphins' QB Ryan Tannehill, Colts' Andrew Luck, Houston's J.J.Watt and MVP-caliber wide-receiver Antonio Brown (PIT); Six suit-up in the NFC as defender Kam Chancellor (SEA) and offensive stalwarts Aaron Rodgers (GB), David Johnson (AZ), Odell Beckham (NYG), 6-game suspended Dallas running back Ezekiel Elliott and the leading candidate for Associated Press swag (MVP) before his W14 injury, QB Carson Wentz (PHI).
The Steelers (Brown) and Eagles (Wentz) made it in with a bye but you've gotta' wonder how such serious losses can't work serious damage to their chances.
And those surprise out-siders fall into two categories of teams:
1) Those out who were expected MIGHT contend and never did
2) Those out who were expected WOULD contend, get in and have an SB run
Group #1: Miami, Cincy, Houston, Indy, Giants and Tampa
Group #2: Detroit, Seattle, Arizona, Redskins, Baltimore and Oakland
2018 Wild Cherry Picks
Titans @ Kansas: 1.6 ESPN 4:35: Chiefs
Falcons @ Rams: NBC 8:15: Atlanta
Bills @ Jacksonville: 1.7 CBS 1:05: Jags
Carolina @ NewOrleans: Fox 4:40: Saints
Record: 76 – 59

Domestic Violence
CAADA Domestic Abuse, Stalking and 'Honour'-based Violence (DASH) Risk Identification Checklist, (CAADA in partnership with Laura Richards, Consultant Violence Adviser to ACPO. 2009) This checklist, developed by Coordinated Action Against Domestic Abuse, Bristol, Scotland, provides a checklist and guidance for assessing high risk for domestic abuse, stalking and honour-based violence, including risk for domestic homicide. The tool is available here in Arabic, Bengali, English, Polish, Romanian, simplified Chinese, Somali, Spanish, Turkish, Urdu, Vietnamese and Welsh. For additional resources, see the website.
The Danger Assessment (Jacquelyn Campbell, 2001) This tool, which requires membership and training, for assessment of risk of lethality in domestic violence situations was developed with consultation and content validity support from battered women, shelter workers, law enforcement officials, and other clinical experts on battering. The first portion of the measure assesses severity and frequency of battering by inviting women to mark on a calendar the approximate days when abusive incidents occurred, and rank the severity of the incident. The calendar portion is intended to raise the consciousness of the woman and reduce denial and minimisation of the abuse. The second portion of the measure invites the woman to complete the Danger Assessment tool which includes a range of indicators shown in formal research to increase the risk of lethality in domestic violence situations. Available in English.
Preventing Domestic Homicide of Women: An Intervention Guide (Drouin C & Droulet J, 2004) provides shelter workers guidance in the development of assessment and intervention skills for preventing intimate partner homicides. This guide provides staff with information about relationship factors, offender behaviour patterns, motivation and profile patterns of male offenders, extensive guidance on intervention including principles and practices as well as danger assessment tools.
