Anglican women from around the world attending the 53rd Session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women have called on church and society to act for greater gender equality and recognition.
The tough choices facing women and girls who are caregivers to others was a particular concern of the Anglican women - who want to see this issue examined and taken up within the 77 million worldwide Communion, as well as by international agencies and NGOs.
The impact of HIV-AIDS and the relatively slow implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are among the other global concerns raised in their official statement.
The full document is as follows:
This year's United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) was focused on the priority theme: the equal sharing of responsibilities between women and men, including caregiving in the context of HIV/AIDS. The Anglican Delegates at CSW 53 worked hard to ensure that they took part in all aspects of the two week programme. They were delegates representing the Anglican Communion and supported by Anglican Women's Empowerment (AWE) and by a worship framework which in itself was challenging and sustaining.
The delegates in reporting to their provinces recognize the progress which has occurred in many countries. The number of women in decision making roles has increased and girls' access to education has improved. The delegation learned about innovative services for those living with HIV/AIDS; those involving faith communities, including Anglican churches, were of particular interest.
While we focused on areas of success, there were multiple examples of gender inequality that led the Anglican delegation at CSW to voice considerable concerns. Of special concern was the slow implementation of the MDGs, their relation to gender equality and the resulting increased suffering of women and girls. This is further exacerbated by the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
We recognize that women and girls are overwhelmingly the caregivers in areas of high HIV prevalence. We especially note that girls leave school and are being deprived of education as they act as caregivers for ill parents or orphaned siblings. Women find themselves forced to choose between working to support their families and caring for infected family members at home. Support services are often limited, and offered by women in the community who are under similar strains themselves. Some formal programmes exist to target aid to these women but rarely include them in decision making, and often continue to 'employ' them as volunteers.
It is recognized that the financial crisis which is affecting the Global Economy will affect women to a greater extent than men. This crisis is an opportunity to involve women as equal participants in decision making, and to ensure gender perspectives in financial decisions. This requires vigilance on the part of governments, civil society and the church in targeting funds to women.
The clear statement made at a plenary session by the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki Moon that 3 million girls are still undergoing female genital mutilation each year requires urgent further action by all concerned. Multiple presentations highlighted the association of this, other acts of violence against women and girls, and the spread of HIV. The lack of sexual and reproductive rights and education puts women and girls at increased risk of HIV and in some areas of the world married women are at highest risk. Innovative prevention measures are desperately needed. The vulnerability of women and girls in areas of armed conflict and the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war is an area of deep alarm. The delegates also recognize the challenges faced by migrant and indigenous women and girls; work is required throughout the world to support and empower them.
It is evident that gender stereotyping is a major hindrance in moving ahead and now needs to be addressed by clear action throughout the world. Work must be done with men and boys as well as women and girls to address harmful societal norms and practices. We ask churches across the Anglican Communion to examine how they can champion the equality of men and boys, and women and girls particularly with regard to caregiving.

Please Call the Court Clerk: (585) 223-0770
Perinton Town Court, is a part of the State of New York Unified Court System, has jurisdiction to hear both criminal and civil matters.
On the criminal side, Perinton Town Court is authorized to handle matters involving the prosecution of felonies, misdemeanors and violations that are committed within the town's geographic boundaries. Perinton Town Judges conduct arraignments and preliminary hearings in felony matters, and hold bench and jury trials in misdemeanor matters.
On the civil side, the Court hears small claims proceedings seeking monetary awards up to $3,000.00. The Court also handles landlord/tenant matters that may result in an eviction and may award money judgments for back rent that is due. The amount of an award in a landlord/tenant matter is unlimited.
Town and Village courts are best known for their small claims parts. Small claims proceedings are intended to provide low-cost, simplified and informal procedure for individuals to resolve disputes involving limited monetary claims. Often individual litigants do not use an attorney in these matters and are not required to do so. Town Justices are required to be on-call 24 hours a day and are often called upon to arraign individuals on misdemeanor and felony charges as well as to serve as acting Family Court judges when Family Court is not in session. In cases involving domestic violence, the judges are also authorized to issue orders of protection.

Is there a way to set the memory card size to be bigger than it is?
I figured that since Android devices usually have such large storage space that I'd be able to have a bunch of saves, but recently ran into a game that said I didn't have enough blocks free.
Is there any way around it?

Animated Google Doodle Honors Eadweard J. Muybridge
Today's Google Doodle celebrates the 182nd anniversary of the birth of photographer Eadweard J. Muybridge.
Muybridge was born April 9, 1830 in Kingston upon Thames, England, but he emigrated to the United States at the age of 25, and spent the majority of his life there.
He was known for his photographs of the West, especially of the Yosemite and San Francisco, and later for his work on animal locomotion and an invention called the zoopraxiscope, an early device for displaying motion pictures.
The animated doodle, a highly stylized version of Google's usual logo, echoes a legendary series of images by Muybridge, which proved that, at one point during a horse's gallop, all of the animal's legs are in the air at the same time.
What do you think of Google's latest Doodle?

BioSprint 96 DNA Blood Kit
For rapid and economical automated purification of DNA from a wide range of samples
The BioSprint 96 DNA Blood Kit provides all reagents and plasticware necessary for automated purification of genomic DNA from cultured cells, tissues, blood, dried blood spots, and buccal swabs using magnetic particle technology on the BioSprint 96.
Buy Products
The BioSprint 96 DNA Blood Kit is intended for molecular biology applications. This product is not intended for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease.
Product Details
The BioSprint 96 DNA Blood Kit enables purification of DNA from a variety of sample types (see table).
Purified DNA is up to 50 kb in size (see figure "Purification of high-quality genomic DNA from mouse tail"). The DNA is ready to use in all downstream applications, including Southern blotting and enzyme applications such as PCR (see figure "High PCR performance of DNA purified using the BioSprint 96 DNA Blood Kit").
The BioSprint 96 DNA Blood Kit is used with the BioSprint 96. The kit uses magnetic-particle technology for rapid DNA purification from cells, tissue, and blood or blood-related products. The BioSprint 96 controls an array of magnetic rods that can attract or release magnetic particles and transfer them from well to well. The sequential transfer of magnetic particles allows a rapid purification procedure to be performed, from the initial binding of DNA to the particles, through to washing of the particles and elution of pure DNA (see figure "Efficient processing of magnetic particles"). Since the instrument transfers magnetic particles instead of liquids, it uses minimal amounts of reagents, enabling cost-efficient sample preparation.
Genomic DNA can be purified from cells, tissue, and blood. Lysed samples are loaded into the instrument, which then performs all steps until pure DNA is obtained (see figure "BioSprint DNA procedure"). The kit provides all the necessary reagents and plasticware for sample preparation, and is available in different sizes, allowing cost-efficient use of consumables.
For purification of genomic DNA from tissue, dried blood spots, or buccal swabs, Buffer ATL and QIAGEN Proteinase K are required (not supplied with the BioSprint 96 DNA Blood Kit). We recommend sealing S-Blocks with Tape Pads during sample processing (not needed for rapid blood protocol).
The BioSprint 96 DNA Blood Kit purifies DNA for use in a range of downstream applications, including:

Provide Students Course Materials Access on the First Day of Class
Immediate Access: An Improved Choice for Faculty
Free quality course materials in the students' hands on the first day of class and substantial savings on the cost of the materials is available in the various CSU Immediate Access programs.
Jointly negotiated and delivered by faculty, departments, publishers, providers, and campus stores, Immediate Access offers a period (usually until add/drop date) of free access to LMS digitally delivered commercial learning content to enrolled students with a lower cost charge at the end of the free period. In most cases, students may opt out and not purchase the materials if they so choose.
All CSU campus bookstores have programs in place to deliver Immediate Access including First Day, IncludED, VitalSource, Verba, RedShelf and more.
Many CSU students cannot purchase all of their course materials before classes start. They purchase weekly and incrementally as their income allows. Immediate Access gives them time to pay without losing important access in the first weeks. Faculty choose or retain their preferred content without being forced to change content or pedagogy.
Immediate Access Program Elements
- Immediate-Inclusive Access Programs are campus specific programs that allow students to have access to their digital course materials on the first day of class at no cost until the add/drop date.
- Students make the choice of whether to purchase the digital content or opt out and purchase their course materials elsewhere.
- Digital textbooks in these programs may be discounted 60% percent or more from print rental and print purchase price or discounted up to 25%-60% from the already low digital rental price.
- Multiple CSU campuses have implemented similar but different Immediate.
- These programs require campus stakeholders working together to establish and coordinate the program with multiple units on the campus and partnerships with publishers.
- These programs require campus bookstores, faculty, and publishers to work together to deliver the right course materials at the best prices.
Guide to Implement Immediate Access/Opt Out for Course Materials
In order to provide students their course materials on the first day of class, follow the "Guide" to implement a plan for a free trial period, a course fee opt out, and for campus committee approval.
Leading the CSU in reducing publisher course materials' costs with student access to the materials on the first day of class.
San Diego State's Immediate/Opt Out Access program continues to expand and grows in popularity.
- SDSU's Aztec Shops are projecting to have 150 classes participate in their Immediate Access program during the 2018/2019 academic year. Potentially 42,000 students may opt to participate and save 4 million dollars on their course materials.
- Since Spring 2016 SDSU has had 102 courses participate in the program and over 21,500 students have taken advantage of the savings and having digital materials the first day of class. SDSU student cumulative savings by taking advantage of the Immediate Access program through Summer 2018 will be over 2.1 million dollars.

Pizza Obsessives: Kelly Bone, Slice Los Angeles Contributor
Slice interviews with folks who are mad about pizza.
It's time to get to know our Los Angeles Slice correspondent, Miss Kelly Bone! Whether snapping gorgeous pizza shots for Top This or making her reviewing rounds, Kelly has got all the Slice bases covered in L.A. Let's find out what makes this pizza-loving California girl tick with the hard hitting Pizza Obsessives Q&A treatment.—MS
Name: Kelly Bone
Location: Los Angeles
Occupation: Part-time cubical designer, full-time pizza lover
URL(s): Twitter @TheVegFoodie; seriouseats.com/Kelly Bone; thevegetarianfoodie.com
Alright, let's jump right in. What type of pizza do you prefer?
I love all pizza. Really. But if I had to marry a pizza, it would be Mr. Neapolitan-style.
The Pizza Cognition Theory states that "the first slice of pizza a child sees and tastes ... becomes, for him, pizza." Do you remember your first slice? Where was it from, is the place still around, and if so, does it hold up? On that note, has your taste in pizza evolved over time?
Stage 1: As a kid my ideal of any meal was white bread, cheese and something sweet. My childhood pizzeria, Piece o' Pizza in Mar Vista, CA, provided just that. It's the ultimate ultra pale doughy slice covered in sweet sauce and overly fatty mozzerella... and it's still there! [Hops in car to get a slice at Piece o' Pizza] See, here's a picture:
Stage 2: Growing up, pizza didn't play a huge part in my life, except for a four year love affair with The Cheese Board in college. Then I moved to Brooklyn in 2003. The day I arrived in Brooklyn, I ordered a pie from Ganni's Pizza (652 Myrtle Ave Brooklyn, NY 11205) and continued to do once a week for the next 8 years. It's a crisp but doughy crust drowning in glossy mozzarella and herb-spiked sauce—sort of a grown up's version of Piece o' Pizza.
Stage 3: But the moment I understood pizza was at Motorino in 2008. It was my very first Neapolitan-style pizza. The stereotypical thoughts raced through my mind: It's so small! Too much crust! So puffy! I think it's burnt! There is not enough cheese! Why so wet?
Then I took a bite. I've been an addict ever since.
What's your favorite topping or topping combination?
My favorite is a good tomato sauce. I get REALLY excited when I see vividly red sauce laced with sweet tart tomato pulp. Otherwise, I get pretty pumped over caramelized onions, roasted garlic and honey... er, I guess I have a bit of a sweet tooth.
Where do you go for pizza in your area?
I hit up Sotto as much as I can. But I work a few doors down from Olio, and I'm pretty sure all the employees recognize me by now. I'm also at Ostera La Buca about every other week. For a slice, I'm all about the sourdough crust Sicilian from Pizzanista.
Do you make pizza at home? If so, what recipes do you use?
I reheat leftover pizza all the time, does that count? If I really want homemade pizza, I beg SkyHighGluten to cook for me. That's not to say I don't have plans to learn...
Well, with Top This you're already sorta learning from some of the best! Speaking of Top This, you get to cover some pretty creative topping combinations with that gig. But what's the most unusual pizza you've ever eaten?
I know everyone says this, but can't recall a pizza I've eaten that made me think, "wow, this is weird." Although I don't 'get' penne pizza. Why put pasta on pizza, it always comes out bland. Oh wait, Mr. Pizza! LA is the home to only US outlet of this Korean chain. Their sweet potato mousse stuffed crust, gilded in cheddar cheese, is weird but enticing (remember, I have a bit of a sweet tooth).
As for unusual pizzas I haven't eaten yet, I've never had plantains on pizza and this makes me sad. Also my friend swears by savory strawberry pizza, but I haven't mustered the nerve to special request one at a pizzeria yet. I'd also love to see more places experiment with sauces, like romesco, harissa, and gremolata.
What one thing should NEVER go on a pizza?
As far as I'm concerned, if you can eat it off a pizza, you can eat it on a pizza. Although un-breaded eggplant and smoked mozzarella often disappoint me.
You seem pretty open minded about toppings, then.
Well, the 5 year-old me had a totally different answer. As a kid I once ordered an olive pizza and it arrived with purple kalamatas. I was horrified! I yelled at the waitress that olives are BLACK then accused her of trying to poison me.
Ha! A pizza reviewer in the making. Which brings me to my next question. How did you get your start writing about pizza?
After my pizza awaking at Motorino, I became obsessed with Pizza Moto. I'd eat at Dave Sclarow's mobile wood fire oven once a week at the Fort Green Brooklyn Flea. But once a week wasn't enough. I started ordering 2-3 pies, devouring one on site and neatly stacking the leftovers in Tupperwear containers I kept in my bag. I looked like a crazy lady. It was worth it. Here's a small collection of my Pizza Moto pies. Right after moving to LA in 2010, Serious Eats had an open call for writers. As a huge fan of the site, I applied to every column I could possibly write for. I'd been writing my own food blogging for a while, but could never claim to be a pizza expert. Then Slice editor, Maggie, saw fit to hire me for Top This (thanks Maggie!). My past pizza infatuations prepared me to learn, plus conducting in-the-kitchen interviews for Top This is like jumping into the deep end of pizza reviewing. Now I'm fully obsessed. Luckily for me, everyone loves to talk about pizza.
What's the farthest you've traveled for pizza?
Specifically for pizza: LA to Berkeley for pizza (and English muffins and sticky buns) from The Cheese Board.
Now it's your turn to ask a question...
What do you think of the VPN vs local ingredients debate?
Writing the Top This column, I've gotten my hands on an array of ingredients. More than once I've found myself in a VPN verses local ingredients debate. VPN pizzas are divine—Pizza e Vino is one of my favorite pizzerias in Southern California—but when it comes down to it, I have to agree: It is counter intuitive to import ingredients from Italy when comparable ingredients are available within our state. This is especially true in California.
A pizza made with Giusto's flour,Bianco DiNapoli or Alta Cucina tomatoes with Gioia or Di Stefano cheese can be just a great as a VPN.
Mozza is pizza! It drives me crazy when people--especially chefs--try to tell me it is not.
Anything else you'd like to get off your chest?
Mozza is pizza! It drives me crazy when people—especially chefs—try to tell me it is not. As Nancy Silverton said in The Mozza Cookbook, they then think "it's their job to educate us—or me—as to what "real" pizza is." Just as some declare Chicago deep dish a "casserole," these naysayers insist Mozza is a "flatbread." (Example: The comments on this thread.)
Pizzeria Mozza's pies may have the qualities of a good bread, but flat it is not. Crafted from the artisanal bakery tradition, the bulging cornicione of blended flours crisped under a wash of fruity olive oil doesn't fall into a long-established pizza classification. It's an emerging style, give it the respect it deserves.
Also, anyone who says: "(Your city's) pizza sucks, trust me, I'm from the New York" is an idiot.
I say that because I used to be one of them. But when I approached LA with an open mind and an empty belly, I discovered I was previously being prejudice. The pizza here can be fabulous. Sure there is a lot of crap, but that's true in every city. Los Angeles has come a long way since CPK. The artisan bakery style, represented by Mozza, Milo + Olive, even Pitfire is an LA innovation! I know the east coast is clamoring for a Pizzeria Mozza. I consider myself extremely fortunate to be covering the LA pizza scene right now.
Who would you like to see interviewed next?
Since I'm on a Los Angeles rant: Zach Pollack of Sotto or Zoe Nathan of Milo + Olive.
And finally, I have to ask, what do your friends and family make of your pizza madness?
Everyone always asks: don't you ever get sick of pizza? I don't. Honestly. No one knows this, but sometimes I sneak a slice before a non-pizza dinner just to satiate the craving.
I, for one, can find no fault in that. And I think your undying love for pizza comes through in the enticing descriptions and photos you bring to Slice! Thanks for taking a turn in the hot seat. It's been a real pleasure.

SRD:Stone Horse
From D&D Wiki
|This material is published under the OGL
Stone Horse: Each item of this nature appears to be a fullsized, roughly hewn statue of a horse, carved from some type of hard stone. A command word brings the steed to life, enabling it to carry a burden and even to attack as if it were a real horse of the appropriate kind.
A stone horse can carry 1,000 pounds tirelessly and never needs to rest or feed. Damage dealt to it can be repaired by first using a stone to flesh spell, thus causing the stone horse to become a normal horse that can be healed normally. When fully healed, it automatically reverts to its stone form. While in its stone form, it can be fed gems, healing 1 point of damage for each 50 gp worth of mineral it is given.
There are two sorts of stone horses.
Courser: This item has the statistics of a heavy horse as well as having hardness 10.
Destrier: This item has the statistics of a heavy warhorse as well as having hardness 10.

A Connecticut woman won't serve any more time behind bars for her involvement in the sex trafficking of a teenager who was tattooed with a bar code to show that she was property.
Neshaya Dozier, 27, was sentenced Wednesday to the nine months she spent in federal prison and the seven months she has lived in a reintegration facility since her arrest.
The Bridgeport woman pleaded guilty in September to a federal charge of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of a minor.
She was found in May, 2016 with the 16-year-old victim inside an East Hartford hotel room.
Prosecutors, in asking for a 3-year prison sentence, wrote that the teenager was covered in bruises and had been tattooed on her neck with a bar code and the words "King Sin," a reference to Darryl Morris, a pimp and Dozier's boyfriend.
Prosecutors said the victim told police she had been forced her to get the tattoo a few weeks before she was found.
"One of Mr. Morris's friends drew the tattoo," prosecutors wrote in their pre-sentencing memorandum. "(The victim) understood the bar code to mean that she was Mr. Morris's property."
The defense, in arguing for a sentence of time served, said Morris ran the prostitution ring and Dozier also was a victim.
Prosecutors acknowledged that Dozier worked as a prostitute for Morris, but said she also handled many of the logistical details of the victim's sexual exploitation, including posting online ads for her services.
They said the girl was 15-years-old when the pair began transporting her across the Northeast to have sex with up to 10 men a day.
Prosecutors said police found Dozier and the girl after the teen was able to get hold of Dozier's cell phone and call her mother to report where she was and that she was frightened.
The teen told police that Morris had been beating her because she was not making enough money
Morris, who also entered into a plea deal with the government, is scheduled to be sentenced in January.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
A Good Woman, Mike Barker's adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play Lady Windermere's Fan, has been gathering dust for some time. It played the Toronto Film Festival in the fall of 2004 before opening in 2005 in every country in the world except this one. Such dawdling doesn't bode well for its contents, which bear the musty, dusty scent of passed-over product; if this thing were at all good, surely it would have played San Francisco before Sweden. And perhaps it would not have opened at all were it not for the appearance of Scarlett Johansson; surely, her unfathomable high marks for Match Point warrant this look-see at long last. So here it is, then -- Wilde, wrought ever so tame.
Barker, a maker of second-rate movies pretending to be highfalutin (Best Laid Plans, indeed) and writer Howard Himelstein, who apparently has read all of Wilde and pulled his favorite bits for this one outing, have made something perfectly respectable, but something also perfectly ... blah. It lies there on the screen, splendid to look at and pleasant to listen to, with its smart-ass chitchat ("Marital bliss is a great burden to place on two people"), but never does it grab you by the collar and blow in your ear and kiss you on the mouth and slap you on the cheek and ask forgiveness before doing it all over again. It's just as happy to shake your hand and go off on its merry way; it's so polite, it's almost rude. Maybe that's why, for some of us, Wilde doesn't hold up as well as, say, Evelyn Waugh, whose Vile Bodies provided the template for Stephen Fry's wowee-zowee Bright Young Things in 2003, which was (like Barker and Himelstein's updating) set around 1930 and had a good time acting naughty. This Good Woman could use a little of that bad.
The story, now updated to the 20th century and moved to Italy and rife with Americans, burbles with classic soap suds: In Manhattan, a woman named Mrs. Erlynne (Helen Hunt) has slept with so many married men that she's apparently run out of warm bodies and warm wallets. Chased out of the city by winks and whispers, she spies in an issue of Town & Country the photo of young married couple Meg and Robert Windermere (Scarlett Johansson and Mark Umbers), who are living for the moment in the splendor of Amalfi. Surely, she figures, the Wall Street banker has plenty of money to spend on such a rare thing as she.
Sure enough, within but a few minutes of screen time, Mrs. Erlynne is having hush-hush encounters with Robert, which are a secret to no one. The entire population of Amalfi (mostly displaced Brits with as much time on their hands as they have money in their pockets) witnesses their comings and goings -- save, of course, for Meg. Mrs. Erlynne, naturally, is up to more than taking cash from Robert's estimable stash. Theirs is a complicated relationship -- precisely how complicated, the screenplay makes clear to those paying the slightest bit of attention. Which is to say, not necessarily anyone.
The real fault with this movie lies less with the clunky screenplay from Himelstein than with the acting, of which there is very little of note, despite the estimable talents of Tom Wilkinson as the thrice-married Tuppy, who would make a good woman of Mrs. Erlynne, and Bright Young Thing Stephen Campbell Moore as the never-married Lord Darlington, who would seek to make a veddy bad woman of Johansson's dull thud. (It is painfully ironic that a movie bearing this particular title would have its best performances delivered by men.)
Hunt, who has been little seen in recent years on screens big or small, doesn't much make us miss her. She's never exactly been a dynamic performer, but as a seductress, she's positively miscast here. As Mrs. Erlynne, she offers the hot-to-trot temptations of a dowdy schoolmarm unleashed on the rec room of an old folks' home. And Johansson, as the young American cavorting with Brits amid Italian splendor in the 1930s, floats adrift in the company of better actors. As in Woody Allen's inexplicably adored Match Point, Johansson seems to be reading her lines off smudged cue cards, her enormous eyes filled with the terror of someone about to be discovered she's in way over her pretty head. Here, perhaps, that's a result of having to fill her mouth with Wilde's spicy dialogue; she all but looks ready to break into a sweat. Which makes one of us.

The gadgetization of coffee: coffee's real fourth wave?
Posted by TheShot on 10 Jun 2010 | Tagged as: Consumer Trends, Machine
Two curious, seemingly unrelated posts appeared simultaneously in the news yesterday. One on La Marzocco's new Strada machine and all its variable-pressure-control glory: Ristretto | Strada – T Magazine Blog – NYTimes.com. The other, Esquire installment #3 from Todd Carmichael, about the ridiculous MSRP/retail prices for professional espresso machines and what most people in the industry actually pay for them: Espresso Machine Advice – Do I Need an Espresso Machine? – Esquire. What both articles speak to is the gadgetization of coffee. In fact, the Times' series, "Ristretto," is dedicated to the gadgetization of coffee.
Sure, CoffeeGeek.com has been around for ages, and there's plenty of shop talk in there about this or that device. The difference now is that the New York Times is writing about pressure profiling in professional espresso machines, and Esquire is talking about the logistics and financials of installing a Synesso for home use.
What happened? Why does a layman consumer reading the Times or Esquire need to know about the pre-infusion of a Slayer machine? Particularly given that these details seem to be of far greater interest to bored baristas and their armchair brethren than to consumers who cannot discern any noticeable improvement in the resulting retail cup.
Gadgetization — a fetish for devices and technology within a hobby — has infiltrated everything from golf to home cooking. But its more than consumer markets being created for suspect products such as electric garlic peelers. (Think the unwashed product-hawker SCAA conference floorshow bearing down directly on consumers.) It's the blogosphere committed to paradoxes like "high-tech [sic] Chemex brewers" — things my in-laws have been using since before 99% of America's baristas had even been born.
Earlier this year, when some writers bandied about the hyperbole that "fourth wave coffee has arrived" with the release of the Slayer machine, we wrote about the true origins of the term "Third Wave coffee." In hindsight, our ridicule of this "fourth wave coffee" claim may have been premature. Because if coffee's Third Wave is about appreciating coffee for its own sake, perhaps any Fourth Wave is about appreciating the devices and technology behind making coffee for their own sake. That is: no coffee required.
In other words, coffee's waves seem to have evolved enough to render any actual coffee irrelevant to its enjoyment.

Love this, good piece. Not sure if my piece was clear enough though, they always get cut down to fit the space. Gadget-ization should include the coffee e-meter (refract-o-tron and co.). Would be great to see this opened up more. After next week's piece I'll try to work towards that. Feel like being part of that?
The question is: can quality really be measured? And is taste objective?
awesome – I'll ref our collaboration – we'll do it up good. How can we chat? Maybe we can get so comments from your people too?
I need to ask you an incredibly important question: How should I make espresso?
I mostly work from home, often late at night when places are closed, plus the trip to my coffee shop is not great with giant potholes and icy side roads that make my bike a kind of death machine.
What route of production should I go?
– I don't do steamed milk, so the shmancy milk steamer on most machines will never be used by me.
– Screw those capsule pod things. Buying real coffee beans is great.
– Small size is a great thing. I've considered just going the stovetop "espresso" maker route because of the footprint for my tiny southside chicago apartment and the tiny hit to my bank. I don't have room, cash, or need for a truck engine.
Reading through your comments, you recommended to one person the FrancisFrancis, which looks pretty good and could be attained "Used – Good" from amazon prime for about $155, which is about the top end of my budget.
Do you still recommend that machine? And if so, how much better is that going to be than the top selling amazon machine, the De'Longhi EC155 (4/5 stars at 920 reviews)?
Please, I need help to cut thru the crap and just get decent shots regularly happening at home when I can't get to a real coffee shop!

Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations, a process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world.
Globalization is not new, though. For thousands of years, people—and, later, corporations—have been buying from and selling to each other in lands at great distances, such as through the famed Silk Road across Central Asia that connected China and Europe during the Middle Ages. Likewise, for centuries, people and corporations have invested in enterprises in other countries. In fact, many of the features of the current wave of globalization are similar to those prevailing before the outbreak of the First World War in 1914.
|Map of the Silk Road
But policy and technological developments of the past few decades have spurred increases in cross-border trade, investment, and migration so large that many observers believe the world has entered a qualitatively new phase in its economic development. Since 1950, for example, the volume of world trade has increased by 20 times, and from just 1997 to 1999 flows of foreign investment nearly doubled, from $468 billion to $827 billion. Distinguishing this current wave of globalization from earlier ones, author Thomas Friedman has said that today globalization is "farther, faster, cheaper, and deeper."
This current wave of globalization has been driven by policies that have opened economies domestically and internationally. In the years since the Second World War, and especially during the past two decades, many governments have adopted free-market economic systems, vastly increasing their own productive potential and creating myriad new opportunities for international trade and investment. Governments also have negotiated dramatic reductions in barriers to commerce and have established international agreements to promote trade in goods, services, and investment. Taking advantage of new opportunities in foreign markets, corporations have built foreign factories and established production and marketing arrangements with foreign partners. A defining feature of globalization, therefore, is an international industrial and financial business structure.
Technology has been the other principal driver of globalization. Advances in information technology, in particular, have dramatically transformed economic life. Information technologies have given all sorts of individual economic actors—consumers, investors, businesses—valuable new tools for identifying and pursuing economic opportunities, including faster and more informed analyses of economic trends around the world, easy transfers of assets, and collaboration with far-flung partners.
Globalization is deeply controversial, however. Proponents of globalization argue that it allows poor countries and their citizens to develop economically and raise their standards of living, while opponents of globalization claim that the creation of an unfettered international free market has benefited multinational corporations in the Western world at the expense of local enterprises, local cultures, and common people. Resistance to globalization has therefore taken shape both at a popular and at a governmental level as people and governments try to manage the flow of capital, labor, goods, and ideas that constitute the current wave of globalization.
To find the right balance between benefits and costs associated with globalization, citizens of all nations need to understand how globalization works and the policy choices facing them and their societies. Globalization101.org tries to provide an accurate analysis of the issues and controversies regarding globalization, without the slogans or ideological biases generally found in discussions of the topics.

Carrington Farms, the creators of delicious 100 percent organic, non-genetically modified health food products, continues to reach outside of the box to provide healthy flax seed blends and cooking oils that are not only good for consumers but are affordable and taste great!
Flax seeds have long been deemed "nutritional powerhouses" by health experts because they are packed with healthy oils, fiber, disease-fighting minerals and enzymes, antioxidants, and proteins. The Carrington Farms product lineup currently includes several popular products utilizing the "super seeds" flax and chia, and with the 2013 addition of the Organic Flax Hemp Blend, the powerful combination of Flax and Hemp is now easily and affordably accessible to nutrition seekers. The super nutritious Organic Flax Hemp Blend (MSRP $7.99) boosts energy and strengthens the immune system while providing a significant source of vegan protein, and fiber along with an abundance of Omega 3's and the 8 essential amino acids required for healthy cell function. The delicious blend is also naturally free of gluten, cholesterol, sodium, sugars and is low in carbohydrates.
Used as a delicious component to smoothies, oatmeal or pancakes and on top of vegetables or in baked goods, the organic Flax Hemp Blend, is a super easy, delicious, nutritious addition to any meal.
Carrington Farms is also introducing their pure organic unrefined extra virgin coconut oil in a convenient, recyclable 12 oz. container (MSRP $8.99). The smaller container allows consumers to experience the healthy and delicious replacement for traditional cooking oils, butters or fat without buying a bulk size or breaking the bank. Today, doctors and researchers stand behind coconut oil as "the healthiest oil on earth" since it contains no trans & hydrogenated fats, strengthens the immune system, is high in medium chain triglycerides and contributes to an overall healthy metabolism. Studies show that coconut oil may protect against heart disease, cancer and diabetes as well as improve digestion and memory functions. A little coconut oil goes a long way in the kitchen and lends itself well to all sorts of cooking. Carrington Farm's extra virgin coconut oil maintains a pure white color, a fresh coconut taste and requires no refrigeration. It is also great as a moisturizer and health and beauty aid for skin and hair!
These great products from Carrington Farms are available in major grocery and health food retailers including select Whole Foods Markets, Costco, Giant/Stop and Shop, Publix, Kroger, Meijer's and many more.

On some fronts, of course, fatherhood takes a beating these days. Television for the last forty years has generally portrayed fathers as stupid and incompetent, Archie Bunker or Tim "the Toolman" Taylor. The days of "Andy of Mayberry" or "Father Knows Best" are long vanished. On most sitcoms, fathers are bores who are out of touch with their wives, their children, and their own emotions. Like television writers, advertisers also love to show fathers as inept or clumsy. The formula — Dumb Dad, Smart Mom, Brilliant Children — may sell cars and deodorant, but it's also false and destructive (and hackneyed to boot).
Society extols motherhood; it has much less to say, good or bad, about fatherhood. We laud single moms for their sacrifices, but no one gives much thought to single dads. Divorced mothers we often proclaim victims; divorced fathers we attack for not paying their child support. Mother's Day is rightfully an occasion for flowers, luncheons, celebrations in church, and heavy phone traffic; Father's Day seems to have been invented as an afterthought — "Well, we've got a Mother's Day. I suppose we have to do something for the Old Man too."
In many homes, Father's Day runs a distant second in the parental celebration department: ties at the top of the gift list, a goofy card, a backyard barbecue.
The very words father and fatherhood can evoke deep visceral reactions among certain feminists. These are words that for some bring to mind God the Father, the father as patriarch, as warrior, as stern and even abusive mentor. Fatherhood can summon up images of punishment, of puritanical standards, of rigorous expectations.
Fortunately, literature offers us a more complicated view of fatherhood. From "Iphigenia" to King Lear and Hamlet's ghost, from the Old Testament to A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, fathers appear to us in a myriad of guises and personalities. Among playwrights, Arthur Miller ("The Death of a Salesman") and Eugene O'Neill ("Long Day's Journey into Night") stand out as American artists concerned with the meaning of fatherhood. Though less well-known, Robert Anderson's "I Never Sang for my Father" — the film version with a young Gene Hackman is excellent — gives us a splendid depiction of the struggle between a father and his grown son; the father in the play is written with the same intensity as the mother in Tennessee Williams' play "The Glass Menagerie."
Fiction, too, contains many works that show us the complicated relationships between fathers and their children. Several authors in the last half-century have given us fine stories centered on fatherhood. In Dad, a greatly underrated novel, William Wharton shows us a man so unhappy in his family life that he creates in his mind an alternative world in which he is appreciated and loved. In The Great Santini, Pat Conroy gives us Bull Meecham, Marine Corps pilot, alcoholic, and a husband and father who knows how to love only through domination and fear. In several of Ernest Hemingway's short stories and in his novels For Whom the Bell Tolls and Islands in the Stream we find a the author mediating at length on the meaning of fatherhood, on the suicide of his own father and on his failures toward his own children.
In poetry, fathers are sometimes obsessions; Sylvia Plath's powerful but hysterical "Daddy" comes immediately to mind. Yet we also meet poets from Homer and Virgil to Dylan Thomas and Theodore Roethke who give us loving images of fathers. Here in its entirety is Robert Hayden's "Those Winter Sundays:"
Sundays too my father got up early
and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
from labor in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.
I'd wake and hear the cold splintering,
When the rooms were warm, he'd call,
and slowly I would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house,
Speaking indifferently to him,
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
What did I know, what did I know
of love's austere and lonely offices?
That poem is for you, Dad, and for Mike and Jake.

The date for unveiling a redraft of the Department of Labor's proposed rule redefining the definition of fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act is drawing closer. Phyllis Borzi says DOL will not be granting the brokerage industry's wish of releasing a rule that mirrors the fiduciary rule being crafted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Borzi, assistant secretary of the DOL's Employee Benefits Security Administration and chief architect of the fiduciary redraft, told Investment Advisor in an exclusive interview in mid-March that while brokerage industry trade groups have been prodding the DOL and SEC to collaborate on their fiduciary rules so that they end up with "one fiduciary standard," having identical rules just isn't possible.
The DOL and SEC follow "two separate statutes that are so very different," Borzi told Investment Advisor. "The securities laws are based on a disclosure model. ERISA is not. Often disclosure is part of what we might require in our prohibited transaction exemptions, but [ERISA] is a flat out prohibition against conflicts of interest," she says, "in part because Congress viewed retirement assets as special from other kind of savings."
Said Borzi: "Even if the SEC and DOL collaborated on the same definition of fiduciary, it wouldn't really get [the brokerage industry] what they want, which is a single set of rules, because even if the same people were defined as fiduciaries, the rules that they would be subject to as fiduciaries in the two different statutory schemes would be so very different."
However, while the two agencies' rules "can't be identical," she says, "they can be consistent and compatible." Borzi adds that the SEC's drafting of a rule to put brokers under a fiduciary mandate and DOL's fiduciary rule do share a "primary commonality," which is "to be clearer as to who is a fiduciary under their respective statutes and what [those fiduciaries'] rights and responsibilities are."
When the EBSA does reissue its proposal, which Borzi has said would come in the first half of this year, it will come in three parts: the regulation itself; the economic analysis (which will include data on individual retirement accounts); and all of EBSA's prohibited transaction amendments to existing exemptions as well as new amendments.
The set of prohibited transaction exemptions will address 12(b)-1 fees, revenue sharing and principal trading. Borzi said the rule will also address rollovers.
While reluctant to specify an exact date on the reproposal's release, Borzi says that EBSA is "working and moving forward and are in pretty good shape with our economic analysis," an area where she says EBSA has been collaborating with SEC economists.
That economic analysis will include data on the costs of applying a fiduciary standard to IRA recommendations, which has been a controversial aspect of the rule. Since EBSA's attempts to secure data from the industry about the impact on IRA investors of conflicts of interest faced by brokers and advisors who advise on IRAs have failed, Borzi said the department is using "a wide variety of data sources" to compile its cost/benefit analysis on IRAs.
Borzi says she remains "puzzled" as to why the industry trade groups failed to provide EBSA with "data at the individual level on IRAs" to help in the department's cost/benefit analysis when it was precisely the information those same trade groups told her EBSA would need.
As to those who worry the rule will be skewed in favor of fee-based advice, Borzi pledges that the rule will "not tilt toward one business model." The rule, she says, "will simply say what we've been saying from the beginning: You need to not give conflicted advice."

Anchorage, Alaska Developer Faces Fines for Clean Water Act Violations
Release Date: 12/18/2007
Contact Information: Ankur Tohan, (206) 553-1796, email@example.com or Tony Brown, (206) 553-1203, email@example.com
(Anchorage, Alaska – Dec. 18, 2007) The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has commenced an administrative penalty action against Anthony Lerma for violations of the federal Clean Water Act (CWA). The violations occurred at Lerma's construction site located at 5151 Lake Otis and East 52nd Avenue in Anchorage, Alaska. Under the CWA, EPA may assess administrative civil penalties within a range up to $157,500.
EPA alleges that Lerma violated the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), Storm Water Construction General Permit (CGP). CGP authorization is required for discharges of storm water from any construction site with at least one acre of disturbed land. Violations included:
- failure to prepare and implement an adequate Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP);
- failure to have adequate storm water control measures;
- failure to conduct inspections; and
- failure to properly implement stabilization measures.
The receiving water for the storm water discharges from the Site is Campbell Creek. Campbell Creek is a tributary of Campbell Lake. Campbell Creek and Campbell Lake are "navigable waters" and are waters of the United States.
The NPDES permit program, established under the CWA, controls water pollution by regulating sources that discharge pollutants to waters in the United States.

Emma Watson
Famous from a young age for playing the role of Hermione Granger in all eight adaptations of the "Harry Potter" film series, Emma Watson was one of those rare actresses who enjoyed a balanced, normal life despite being one of the most recognized and highest-earning stars of the franchise. Her meteoric rise to fame was nothing short of magical. With virtually no professional acting experience, the nine-year-old Watson was selected to co-star in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" (2001) and was propelled into international stardom with her very first film. Her portrayal of the bossy, miss-know-it-all Hermione was pitch perfect, so it was no surprise when she was recast alongside Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint in subsequent installments. In her late teens, Watson showed her fans a more stylish, sophisticated side. She became a regular at fashion shows, befriended legendary fashion icons like Karl Lagerfeld and often arrived at red carpet events swathed in haute couture. The fashion house Burberry took notice of the budding fashionista and signed Watson to be the new face of the brand in 2009. With a coveted fashion contract under her belt and worldwide acclaim as one of Harry's brainy sidekicks, the multi-dimensional actress successfully made her way into cinematic history, moving on from her star-making role with high-profile star turns in teen-angst drama "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" (2012), Biblical adventure fantasy "Noah" (2014) and Bill Condon's blockbuster "Beauty and the Beast" (2017).

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has accused the European Union of interfering in Ukraine's internal affairs and helping stoke violent anti-government protests.
"What does incitement of increasingly violent street protests have to do with promoting democracy?," he said in response to European Council President Herman Van Rompuy.
Mr Van Rompuy said earlier that Ukraine must be free to choose its own future, a future which lay in Europe.
"Why don't we hear condemnation of those who seize and hold government buildings, attack the police, torture police, use racist and anti-Semitic and Nazi slogans?" Mr Lavrov said.
EU foreign affairs head Catherine Ashton is due to visit Kiev again next week, having previously met the government and opposition figures several times there to call for a peaceful dialogue.
Other prominent figures have also been frequent visitors to Kiev, drawing a strong government and Russian response although Mr Lavrov's remarks were unusually blunt in comparison.
Separately, the Ukrainian opposition leader Arseniy Yatsenyuk warned that the army could be used to crush protests against the country's president.
He told Germany's president and foreign minister and the EU's foreign affairs chief it was "very likely" that Ukrainian authorities would "resort to a use of force scenario" including with the involvement of the army.
Ukrainian authorities have accused protesters of torturing a police officer in the basement of an occupied public building.
The interior ministry said that protesters had beaten and tortured a policeman who was hospitalised with head injuries.
A member of the of the Svoboda nationalist party has said that the accusation is "propoganda".
Meanwhile, the party of jailed former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko said authorities were considering the introduction of a state of emergency.
Yesterday, Ukraine's SBU security service announced a criminal investigation into what it said was an opposition attempt to seize power.
"An announcement by the SBU is an element of a use-of-force scenario, planning the possible introduction of a state of emergency," a senior party official, Gryhoriy Nemyria, said.

Nook App for Windows 8 and Two Other Stories You Need to Know
Welcome to this morning's edition of "First To Know," a series in which we keep you in the know on what's happening in the digital world. Today, we're looking at three particularly interesting stories.
B&N Launches Nook Reading App for Windows 8
Barnes & Noble has launched a Nook reading application for Windows 8, bringing 3 million titles to users of Microsoft's latest desktop OS. The app also runs on Windows RT devices, and lets users read books, magazines, newspapers and comics.
The app is available in the Windows Store.
Google Updates Transparency Report
Google has updated its Transparency Report, detailing the percentage of user data requests it complies with in various countries.
Topping the list is the U.S., where Google complied with 90% of requests. Hungary, Russia and Turkey are on the other end of the spectrum; in these countries, Google complied with zero requests to hand over user data.
RIM Launches BlackBerry Messenger 7 Beta
RIM has launched the beta version of BlackBerry Messenger 7, which includes free voice calls to other BBM users over a Wi-Fi connection.
Another interesting new feature is integration with a customer's BlackBerry ID; this will back up their BBM profile, groups and contacts, making the switch to a new BlackBerry 10 device easier.

Walks from the Ogwen valley
Tourists hike up Snowdon, but mountain connoisseurs prefer the sharply angled peaks of Tryfan and the Glyderau, with their challenging terrain, cantilevered rocks and fantastic views back to Snowdon. If you're going to attempt the walks, arm yourself with either the 1:50,000 OS Landranger #115 or the 1:25,000 OS Outdoor Leisure #17 map.
Cwm Idwal
(1.5 miles return; 1hr; 200ft ascent). An easy hike on a well-graded path leading up to Llyn Idwal, nestled in the magnificent cirque of Cwm Idwal. The area was designated Wales's first nature reserve in 1954, after botanists discovered rare arctic-alpine plants growing here. Tackling the rough, rocky paths right around the lake can turn this into a half-day outing, partly beneath huge sloping cliffs – the Idwal Slabs.
Tryfan Miners' Track
(5 miles; 4–6hr; 2000ft ascent). The standard route up Tryfan, from the car park at Idwal Cottage. You'll need to use your hands for the final section up the South Ridge of Tryfan, past the Far South Peak to the summit. You can then tackle the 5ft jump between Adam and Eve, the two chunks of rhyolitic lava which crown this regal mountain. Don't underestimate the seriousness of the leap: it's only when you see the mountain dropping away on all sides that it hits home quite how disastrous it would be to overshoot.

How do you make them coming back to your site
If you have a website or thinking of starting one, you probably asked yourself how do I get them to come back to my site. The reason why it is important to get people to visit your site repeatedly is because a visitor who has previously checked out your website is much more likely to become a customer than a first time visitor.
Here are a few things you can do to entice people to visit your site on a regular basis:
- Update your site on a regular basis, at least once a month. Beside providing the newest information about your business, this has an additional benefit. Search engines rank websites that change higher than neglected sites.
- Have a "Latest News" section on your Home page. This way your visitors don't need to look for new information on your site, but see it at a glance. You can link the short intro to the page which contains the new information.
- Have special 'Web Promotion' or Special Offer. Everyone likes to get a deal or discount. Change the special on a regular basis and let your visitors know (e.g. monthly special, offer of the week).
- Add a 'Bookmark this Site' link. Make it easy for your visitors to bookmark your site and the chances that they actually bookmark your site are pretty good. Statistics show that people will return more likely to a site that they have bookmarked.
- Offer contests or competitions – these are great traffic builders. As an additional bonus you can collect valuable information about your visitors through the entry form. You can also add a checkbox to get permission to email them with information about your business.
- Have a 'Tip of the Day' feature on your home page. Offer a tip that relates to your products or Services. This can be just a sentence or a paragraph. You can 'archive' these tips on a special page, this way your website gets changed often and it also grows and as we know with website it's all about size.

Abstract and Keywords
Capitalist peace theory (CPT) has gained considerable attention in international relations theory and the conflict literature. Its proponents maintain that a capitalist organization of an economy pacifies states internally and externally. They portray CPT either as a complement or as a substitute to other liberal explanations such as the democratic peace thesis. They, however, disagree about the facet of capitalism that is supposed to reduce the risk of political violence. Key contributions have identified three main drivers of the capitalist peace phenomenon: the fiscal constraints that a laissez-faire regimen puts on potentially aggressive governments, the mollifying norms that a capitalist organization creates; and the increased ability of capitalist governments to signal their intentions effectively in a confrontation with an adversary. Defining capitalism narrowly through the freedom entrepreneurs enjoy domestically, this article evaluates the key causal mechanisms and empirical evidence that have been advanced in support of these competing claims. The article argues that CPT needs to be based on a narrow definition of capitalism and that it should scrutinize motives and constraints of the main actors more deeply. Future contributions to the CPT literature should also pay close attention to classic theories of capitalism, which all considered individual risk taking and the dramatic changes between booms and busts to be key constitutive features of this form of economic governance. Finally, empirical tests of the proposed causal mechanism should rely on data sets in which capitalists appear as actors and not as "structures." If the literature takes these objections seriously, CPT could establish itself as central theory of peace and war in two respects. First, it could serve as an antidote to the theory of imperialism and other "critical" approaches that see in capitalism a source of conflict rather than of peace. Second, it could become an important complement to commercial liberalism that stresses the external openness rather than the internal freedoms as an economic cause of peace and that particularly sees trade and foreign direct investment as pacifying forces.
Keywords: capitalism, economic openness, causal mechanism, economic norms, democratic peace, theory of imperialism, empirical international relations theory

"Keats in Space": a review of Richard Holmes' _The Age of Wonder_
Submitted by rc-admin on
The Poetry Foundation has published a review of Richard Holmes' The Age of Wonder: How the Romantic Generation Discovered the Beauty and the Terror of Science, an exploration of the Romantic sensibility in science. Authored by Molly Young, the article characterizes Holmes' book as "equal parts passionate history and head-shaking elegy—a recovery of a golden era and a subsequent burial of it." Starting with Captain Cook's voyage to Tahiti in 1768 and ending with Charles Babbage's publication of Reflections on the Decline of Science in England in 1830, the book catalogues a number of Romantic explorer's and scientists--from Humphry Davy to William and Caroline Herschel. The argument throughout, according to Young, is that Romantic poetry and science have two key attributes in common: a frenzy for discovery and a lack of specialization. It should come as no surprise, then, that "the Romantic imagination was inspired, not alienated, by scientific advances."
In addition, Andrew Stauffer of The Hoarding has collected several other reviews of The Age of Wonder.

While guest co-hosting on Regis & Kelly this morning, Anderson Cooper revealed that as a child he stole a huge amount of silverware from airlines. He explains, "I kept thinking, one day I'll have a house and I'll need cutlery."
Clearly little Anderson didn't realize that being a Vanderbilt means you'll never want for eating utensils. It sounds like AC isn't using his recently-discovered set of tiny stolen silverware in his Manhattan apartment, but we wouldn't put it past him. After all, this is a man who still sleeps on the bed his mom bought him as a toddler.

- collection
- [ca. 1890]-2004, predominant 1926-1993
This fonds contains the personal and professional papers of Dr. Helen Sawyer Hogg documenting her contribution to professional astronomy, her high regard as a popular educator as well as her responsibilities as a parent, daughter, wife and friend. The records have been arranged into series either by type of record or to reflect a certain type of activity. Records documenting various aspects of her career are filed first, followed by papers reflecting her personal life.
Included is both professional and personal correspondence; records relating to her activities on associations, boards and organizations; records such as draft manuscripts, correspondence and outlines and data relating to her publishing activities and research; papers relating to her education and her teaching responsibilities; as well as diaries and family papers series.
Because Dr. Hogg's career spanned nearly seven decades during a time astronomy as a discipline was still developing both nationally and internationally, these records are not only useful to those researching Dr. Hogg's achievements but will be insightful to those researchers studying the development of astronomy as a science and profession. Moreover, Dr. Hogg was a woman in a field of science, which is still dominated by men. Those studying women's history may find Dr. Hogg's personal records a useful case study in one woman's success in a largely male dominated profession.
Contained within the Helen S. Hogg personal records are three sous-fonds: Frank S. Hogg [1922-1952], her first husband and also an astronomer at the David Dunlap Observatory; Prof. Ruth Northcott [1932-1969], close personal friend and professional colleague of Helen Hogg, also on staff at the D.D.O.; Dr. C.A. Chant [193- - 194-], director emeritus of the D.D.O and head of the Department of Astronomy at the University of Toronto from 1904-1935. These sous-fonds are individually described and have been filed after the Helen Hogg personal records.
Hogg, Helen Battles Sawyer

MONTREAL, July 16 (UPI) -- Actress Emma Roberts was arrested for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend, "American Horror Story" star Evan Peters, police in Canada said.
Roberts, 22, is the daughter of actor Eric Roberts and the niece of his sister, actress Julia Roberts.
Emma Roberts' film credits include "Aquamarine," "Nancy Drew" and "Scream 4."
TMZ said she was taken into custody early July 7 in Montreal after someone called police to report a fight in the couple's room and officers arrived to find Peters with a bloody nose and a bite mark.
Roberts was released hours later because her 26-year-old beau did not want to press charges.
The celebrity news website said the pair have since reconciled and are working together on the new season of "American Horror Story."
