The Sheltering Sky is a 1990 British-Italian drama film directed by Bernardo Bertolucci starring Debra Winger and John Malkovich.

The behavior of this cost in response to tax rates, enforcement paraters, income, and risk aversion is analyzed. The function is used to analyze the behavior of individuals in circumstances where there are opportunities for tax sheltering as well as tax evasion.

Figures for the graph below are based on rough estimates of the number of dogs and cats euthanized per 1000 people in shelters in the USA [4,25]. The more recent estimates are supported by more robust raw data sets drawn from Clifton (2014) [26] and PetPoint sheltering reports [27].

While the reasons for the declines in the 1970s are unclear and perforce speculative, it appears that legislation, education, and sterilization (LES) programs had some impact [4]). Various reports have concluded that the drive to sterilize pet dogs and cats and, more recently, stray cats has been a major factor in the decline in shelter euthanasia (e.g., [18,19,20]). There were further declines in intake and euthanasia after the 1970s and 1980s. The chart below (Figure 3), showing data from Peninsula Humane Society in San Mateo County, California (from 1970 to 1994) and from California state records of shelter intake for the whole of San Mateo county from 1997 to 2015, illustrates some of the changes that were occurring in the 1990s and the 2000s. After levelling off for a few years, dog intake began to decline again in the late 1980s. The number of high-volume sterilization clinics and initiatives has been increasing across the country to address pockets of poverty where dog and cat sterilization rates remain low (e.g., see [5,18,21,22,23,24]).

Overall euthanasia of dogs and cats in US shelters has undergone a steady and rather dramatic decline (Figure 4). However, the earlier data points are not particularly robust. The 1973 and 1982 points were based on surveys of shelter operations around the United States by staff of The HSUS. The 1990 and 2000 datapoints are based on analyses and estimates by a small group of individuals, including one of the authors of this article (ANR), Merritt Clifton and Phil Arkow. The final set of datapoints (2009 to the present) are based on PetPoint reports of monthly intake and outcome totals for around one thousand or more shelters and rescue operations.

Shelter is one of the most 'intractable problems' in humanitarian aid and yet there is little clarity on an overarching definition. Terminology for shelter and housing is often conflated, and the most prominent definition does not fully reflect recent progress in the Shelter and Settlements Sector. This paper explores the varying terminology utilised in definitions of shelter within humanitarian aid since 1990, reflecting on the concepts of 'shelter' and 'housing', alongside surrounding perceptions of 'house' versus 'home', and related measures of adequacy. The current, most prolific definition is also deconstructed, demonstrating ambiguity in some of terminology such as 'dignity' and 'privacy', and revealing that interpretation of this definition depends on the reader's knowledge. Lastly, a new definition of 'sheltering' is proposed, encompassing five key reflections: the concept of process over object; the inclusion of communities and individuals; the commonality of long-term sheltering; the wider effects of shelter; and the impacts on host communities and environment.

Under the direction of the Gloucester County Board of Commissioners and with guidance from the Animal Shelter Advisory Committee and the County Health Department, the Gloucester County Animal Shelter (GCAS) became operational in July 1990 with the completion of the Animal Shelter building in Clayton. The GCAS operated as a division of the Gloucester County Health Department to address the growing rabies problems in the early 1990s. In 1994, the Gloucester County Board of Commissioners designated the shelter and its services as the Department of Animal Shelter, operating independently of other departments.

On March 20-21, 1990, the Census Bureau conducted "Shelter and Street- Night" to count components of the homeless population in emergency shelters and street locations. Observers were placed in a sample of street sites in 5 cities to report on the census enumeration process. Comparison of observer reports with census returns indicates that street enumeration was not carried out in a comparable, standardized way in the 5 cities. The main operational problems were enumerator failure to enumerate sites and selectivity in approaching people within sites. Variability in how the operation was carried out reduces the comparability of street counts from place to place.

Despite these upgraded facilities, by 1990, it was obvious the animal shelter was not large enough to meet the demands of the Manhattan community and surrounding areas. In 1997, a shelter expansion committee was formed and construction of the new, renovated shelter began in 2000.

Originally part of the Human Resources Administration (HRA), DHS became an independent mayoral agency after then-Mayor David Dinkins sought to more extensively alter the City's homeless policies. As the 1990s progressed and DHS grew, City-run shelters were replaced with facilities operated by nonprofit organizations (under contract with the City); homeless New Yorkers received increased social services on-site, and shelters began targeting specific populations of clients to better address their varying circumstances and needs.

On August 28, 1990, from 3:15 to 3:45 p.m., the strongesttornado in northern Illinois in greater than 20 years struck thetowns of Plainfield, Crest Hill, and Joliet in Will County. As aresult of the storm's impact phase, 302 persons were injured (28fatally). This report summarizes an investigation of injuries anddeaths that resulted from the tornado's impact.

The tornado's path was up to -mile wide and 16.5 miles long;wind speeds were greater than 260 mph. National Weather Servicecriteria for issuing a tornado warning were not satisfied untilthe tornado had already touched the ground. Electrical powerservice to 65,000 customers and phone service to 10,000residences were severed; in addition, the tornado destroyed threeschools, a church, many businesses, 106 apartment units, and 470single-family dwellings. The estimated cost of damages was $200million (Will County Emergency Services Disaster Agency,unpublished data, 1990). Because no warning was provided, fewpersons sought a tornado shelter.

The promulgation of the Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA) in 1990 represents an essential change in the models of assistance, where the child and the adolescent commence to be considered subject of rights at a peculiar condition of development. Even though there is a major distance between what is stated by the law, the judiciary discourse, the Brazilian reality, and the current socio-professional practices, ECA (Brasil, 1990) recommends changes regarding the institutional sheltering services, in an attempt to rupture with the practices of confinement, exclusion, and control so far in practice.

On that account, it is considered that sheltering services may consist in environment to foment the development of children and adolescents, regardless of the time spent in the institution, for they are people in full developmental process (Corra & Cavalcante, 2013) . Thus, the sheltering institution is part of the context in which they will develop (Rossetti-Ferreira, Serrano, & Costa, 2011) . In this sense, the child needs to have the right of expressing itself guaranteed and respected as stated by the Technical Orientations for the Sheltering Service for Children and Adolescent (Brasil, 2009) . 2351a5e196
