Two members of the opposition United Workers Party (UWP), Edison James and Hector John, recaptured their seats in parliament following July 2010 by-elections. The two lawmakers had boycotted parliament to protest alleged fraud in the December 2009 elections, leading the speaker of the house to declare their seats vacant.
Dominica gained independence from Britain in 1978. The centrist Dominica Labour Party (DLP) swept to victory for the first time in 20 years in the January 2000 parliamentary elections, and formed a coalition with the right-wing Dominica Freedom Party (DFP). DLP leader Roosevelt "Rosie" Douglas was named prime minister, but died of a heart attack in October 2000. His replacement, Pierre Charles, died of heart failure in January 2004, and was succeeded by DLP member Roosevelt Skerrit.
Skerrit's government inherited financial troubles and lost public support as it implemented austerity measures. Increased global competition hit the agriculturally-based economy hard, and the imposition of an International Monetary Fund stabilization and adjustmentprogramproved unpopular. Despite such difficulties, the DLP easily won the April 2004 by-election.
Skerrit and the DLP secured 12 seats in the 2005 elections, ensuring a majority. Edison James, former prime minister and leader of the United Workers Party (UWP), initially accepted the results but later claimed that five of the DLP seats were obtained through fraud. Meanwhile, the DFP struggled to remain relevant and was not represented in the parliament.
In May 2009, Skerrit was forced to contend with the so-called "rubbish bin scandal," a national controversy which emerged after the opposition accused the government of importing 2,700 garbage bins at four times their average retail price. Although the opposition continued to press for a resolution to the scandal, the issue remained unresolved as of the end of 2010.
In the December 2009 legislative election, the DLP won 61 percent of the popular vote and captured 18 seats, while the UWP took only 3 seats. The elections were deemed generally fair by observer teams from both the Organization of American States and CARICOM. However, opposition members accused the DLP of misconduct during the campaign and filed complaints of election irregularities, including having been denied equal access to state media during the campaign period. They also accused Skerrit and Education Minister Peter St. Jean of holding dual citizenship at the time of the election, which under Dominican law should have made them ineligible to hold office. The courts rejected all of the complaints in 2010, except for the dual citizenship issue, which was in a pretrial stage at year's end. Meanwhile, two prominent opposition members, Edison James and Hector John of the UWP, boycotted parliament beginning in December 2009 to protest alleged electoral fraud and call for new elections. In May 2010, the speaker of the House of Assembly declared their seats vacant under a rule stipulating that parliamentarians must lose their seats if they miss three consecutive sessions. In July by-elections, both James and John recaptured their seats.
Political Rights and Civil Liberties:
Dominica is an electoral democracy. The government is headed by a prime minister, and the unicameral House of Assembly consists of 30 members serving five-year terms. Twenty-one members are elected, and nine senators are appointed—five by the prime minister and four by the opposition leader. The president is elected by the House of Assembly for a five-year term; the prime minister is appointed by the president. The three main political parties are the ruling DLP, the opposition UWP, and the DFP.
Dominica was ranked 44 out of 178 countries surveyed in Transparency International's (TI) 2010 Corruption Perceptions Index, one of the largest increases in corruption noted by TI that year. The UWP held a peaceful rally in Dominica's capital on December 18, 2010, which it proclaimed as Anti-Corruption Day.
Although Dominica does not have legislation that guarantees access to information or freedom of expression, the press is free in practice, and there is no government censorship or intrusion. Four private newspapers and an equal number of political party journals publish without interference. Although the main radio station is state-owned, there is also an independent station. Citizens have unimpeded access to cable television and regional radio broadcasts, as well as to the internet.
Freedom of religion is recognized. While the majority of the population is Roman Catholic, there are some Protestant churches. Academic freedom is respected.
The authorities uphold freedoms of assembly and association, and advocacy groups operate freely. Workers have the right to organize, strike, and bargain collectively. Unions are independent of the government, and laws prohibit anti-union discrimination by employers. Approximately 13 percent of the workforce is unionized.
The judiciary is independent, and the rule of law is enhanced by the courts' subordination to the inter-island Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court. Efforts to establish the Caribbean Court of Justice as its final court of appeal, instead of the Privy Council in London, continued in 2010. The judicial system generally operates with efficiency, and its handling of cases compares favorably with other islands in the region, though staffing shortfalls remain a problem.
The Dominica police force, which became responsible for security after the military was disbanded in 1981, operates professionally and with few human rights complaints. Crime and homicide rates are low for the Caribbean. The island's only prison is overcrowded and has sanitation problems, though it otherwise generally met international standards.
The indigenous Kalinago population numbers less than 3,000 and has repeatedly complained of racial discrimination in law and in practice. In November 2010, the Carib Council announced that it would replace the use of the term "Carib"—which has its roots in colonial times and carries derogatory connotations—with "Kalinago". In October 2010, the Dominican Bar Association admitted its first native Kalinago.
The Protection against Domestic Violence Act allows abused persons, to appear before a judge and request a protective order without seeking legal counsel. There are no laws mandating equal pay for equal work in private-sector jobs, and inheritance laws do not fully recognize women's rights.

Welcome to the wonderful and occasionally frustrating world of gaited horses. Unless you were lucky enough to buy a horse that was completely "set" in his gait, along with the lovely fox trot he also came with the unwanted bonus of a bunch of different gaits that you probably didn't know existed when you were riding walk-trot horses. If you are ever going to ride your Fox Trotter well, you will need to learn about those gaits. You will need to look at how horses move, listen for hoof beats and feel some very subtle differences in rhythm and sway in the saddle. You need to learn how to tell one gait from another.
Defining Gaits
Gaits are usually defined by their footfall sequence, timing, support sequence, and the shift in the center of gravity of the horse. There are many gaits theoretically and actually possible for horses, but the ones most likely to occur in a Fox Trotter (in no particular order) are: the hard trot; the fox trot- the "fox walk"; the running walk- the ordinary walk; the flat walk; the stepping pace; the hard pace; the rack; the "saddle" rack; the canter; the lope; and the gallop. Within each of these gaits there are some possible variations. For example: a true trot is defined as a diagonal gait in which right hind and left front hit the ground at the same moment, followed by a moment of suspension when all four hooves are clear of the ground, followed by the simultaneous touch down of the left hind and right front. However, in some horses that are very collected, the hind hoof of the diagonal pair sets down before the front, and in others that are "heavy on the forehand" the front of the diagonal pair hits first. Sometimes, the moment of suspension disappears and there may be a point in which three hooves are in contact with the ground. Since you can't see any of these variations without slow motion video, don't worry about them. All you need to know to ride effectively is which general gait a horse is doing, not precisely how he is doing it. Scientific gait analysis is not necessary for riding and enjoying your horse.
Without using video to slow down the motion, you look at a moving horse in real time. There is a lot going on and it can be confusing if you just look at the whole horse and try to decide what he is doing. The trick is to look at the horse in parts, then to put them all together to determine his gait. Look at legs, look at hooves, and then pull back to see what the rest of the body is doing.
LEGS: The easiest part of a gait to see is leg movement. As a horse goes by in gait, look at the foreleg and shoulder and at the hip and thigh on the side toward you. Watch them for a while. Do they move forward together? Do they seem to be going in opposite directions? Pull back your vision and include the movement of the legs on the far side of the horse. Does any leg on the far side seem to move forward at the same time as one on the side toward you? Which one? If the legs on the side toward you move forward at the same time, the horse is doing a lateral gait. It may be a pace, stepping pace, "show" running walk or a rack. If the legs on the side toward you seem to move in opposite directions, the horse is doing a diagonal gait. This will be either a hard trot, fox trot or "fox walk". If the legs appear to move independently of one another, not moving forward together or paired with legs from the far side, the horse is doing a square gait. This may be either a walk, flat walk, or running walk. All of the lateral, diagonal and square gaits are symmetrical, that is, the legs on one side of the horse mirror the actions of the legs on the other. If some legs appear to work together and others do not, the horse is doing an asymmetrical gait, either a canter or gallop. Since those gaits are fairly easy to recognize, we'll concentrate on identifying the symmetrical ones.
Once you have an idea which legs are moving together (lateral, diagonal, square) look more closely at the way the hooves hit and leave the ground. Even without slow motion, you can see the general characteristics of the gaits by paying attention to the footfalls.
Diagonal gaits:
The trot: In this most diagonal gait, the diagonal hooves lift off from and hit the ground at the same moment. [Right hind, left front, alternate with left hind, right front.] To see this, focus on a front foot, then include the diagonal hind in your field of vision. You can clearly see them lift off and hit together, in a hard trot. The sound will be a 1-2 beat.
The fox trot: In this diagonal easy gait, again the diagonal pairs of hooves lift off and move forward together, but this time the front will hit noticeably before the hind of the pair. To see this, focus again on the front foot, then include the diagonal hind in your field of vision. As the legs move forward together they will be just slightly out of time with one another and the front hoof will set down just before the hind slides into place. If you look at the hooves on the side of the horse toward you, they will lift off and set down separately. The sound will be an uneven, 1-2--34, with the beats closest together coming from the set down of the diagonal hooves. You may hear it as ka-chunck, ka-chunck sound.
The "fox walk": This is really just a slower version of the fox trot, done with a slightly longer time interval between the set down of the front hoof and its diagonal hind. It looks and sounds like the fox trot, with the same uneven 1-2--3-4 timing. It is much easier to see a front hoof hit before the diagonal hind in this gait than it is in the faster fox trot. Focus on the legs on the side toward you, note that they are lifting and setting down independently, then look at one front and its diagonal hind. They move forward together, but the front hits significantly before the hind.
Lateral gaits:
The pace: In this most lateral gait, the lateral (same side) hooves lift off and set down at the same moment. [Right hind, right front, alternate with left hind, left front.] To see this, focus on the hooves on the side of the horse toward you, and you will see them lift off and set down at the same time. The sound will be a 1-2 beat, like the hard trot, but this time the sound will come from the set down of alternating lateral pairs of hooves.
The stepping (broken) pace: In a stepping or broken pace the lateral hooves no longer set down at the same time, although they do appear to lift off the ground simultaneously. In this gait, the hind hoof hits just before the front on the same side. To see this, look at the hind hoof on the side toward you, then broaden your field of vision to include the front hoof on the same side. They will lift off together, but the hind will set down before the front. The sound will be an uneven 1-2--3-4, similar in beat to the fox trot, but this time the beats closest together will come from the set down of the lateral hooves. This gait is called a "sobreandando" in Peruvian horses, and a "skeith-tolt" in Icelandics. It is also known as the "amble" in English.
The "saddle" rack: This gait is a modified stepping pace, in which the lateral hooves are lifted at almost the same moment and set down separately. To see this, again focus on the lateral hooves, notice that they seem to lift at the same moment, but that there is a significant interval between the set down of the hind and fore. [Because of the speed and action of the gait the set down of the hooves can be very difficult to see.] The high action of the front legs delays the set down of the front hooves, giving an even 1-2-3-4 beat to the gait. Unlike the true rack, in this gait there are always two and sometimes three hooves in contact with the ground. This gait is called a "paso corto" in Paso Fino horses, a "paso Ilano" in Peruvian horses and is sometimes called a "single foot" in English.
The rack: A faster version of the "saddle," the rack looks virtually the same without slow motion video. The lateral hooves lift at the same time and set down separately. The beat is again an even 1-2-3-4. however, in the rack the horse is supported first by two, then by one hoof at a time. He jumps forward between his transverse pairs of legs (both front, both hind) so that there is a moment when all his weight is supported by first one hind hoof, then by one front hoof This gait is very fast and hard to see without slow motion. It is called a "hreina tolt" in Icelandic horses, a "tripper" in Boerperds, and a "largo" in Paso Finos.
Square gaits:
The walk: In a walk the hooves lift off and contact the ground at even, separate intervals. Look at the hooves on the side of the horse toward you. They lift separately, do not travel forwards at the same time, and set down at separate intervals. The beat is an even 1-2-3-4.
The flat walk: This is the same as an ordinary walk, speeded up a little bit. The hooves lift and set down at distinct, even intervals. The beat is again a 1-2-3-4.
The running walk: A good running walk is the same as a flat walk, again with more speed. The hooves on a side lift and set down separately in an even 1-2-3-4 beat. Often, what is called a running walk is a long stepping "saddle" rack. It is still an even four-beat gait, but the legs on one side seem to move forward together, and the hooves lift at the same time, setting down separately. Focus on the hooves on one side of the horse to see the difference in the two gaits.
Once you have looked at leg movement and hoof timing, stop concentrating on the legs of the horse and look at his whole body. You can tell a lot about what gait a horse is doing by the way he moves his head, neck and hindquarters.
Diagonal gaits:
The trot: In a trot the horse will not nod his head in any way, and his hind quarters will remain steady as his whole body rises and falls with the motion of the gait. His tail may sway a bit from side to side as his body swings in a good relaxed trot. In a good trot a horse "tracks up" and sets his hind hoof down on the track of the front on the same side.
The fox trot: In the fox trot the horse nods his head and neck up and down in time with the motion of his shoulders and the reach of his hind legs. His hind quarters will bob up and down in rhythm with his gait. He will seem to take a long, reaching step in front and a quicker, higher step in back, "breaking" (bending sharply) at the hock as his hind hoof hesitates before following the diagonal front to the ground. The horse may "cap" or disfigure his front track with his hind in this gait.
The "fox walk": Again, this is very similar to the fox trot, just done at a slower speed. The horse will almost always "cap" his front track with his hind in this gait. Top speed is probably no more that 6 mph in the fox walk.
Lateral gaits:
The Pace: In a true pace a horse will swing his neck and head from side to side, away from the advancing foreleg. He will also swing or "wag" his hindquarters from side to side in this gait. There will be no up and down bob of the head or croup in a pace, but his whole body may appear to rise and fall in a motion similar to the trot. A horse will usually overstep his front track with his hind by a fair amount in the pace.
The stepping Pace: A horse in a stepping pace will usually swing his head from side to side with no bobbing motion of the croup. His body will stay relatively stable, with none of the up and down movement of the pace or trot. Again, a horse will usually overstep his front track by some distance in the stepping pace.
The "saddle" rack: There is no head nod in this gait, but the hindquarters are very active in an up and down bobbing motion. The shoulders also move up and down, creating the high action of the front legs. The horse takes a fairly short step, overstepping his front track by a short distance.
The rack: Again, there is no head nod in this gait, and the shoulders and hindquarters are very active. The horse appears to jump from one foot to the other as he moves. There is more overstep in this gait than in the "saddle," but not as much as in the running walk.
Square gaits:
The walk: In an ordinary walk, a horse (not just a gaited one) will nod his head and neck up and down with the motion of his shoulder and the expansion and contraction of the muscles along his back. The croup will remain steady with no bobbing up and down. There will be some over step of the front track by the hind of the same side, the distance varying with the conformation and speed of the horse.
The flat walk: In this type of walk the head nod will be noticeably more rapid than in the ordinary walk. The undulating motion of the ordinary walk diminishes with increased speed, making the back more stable. The croup will remain steady with no up and down bob, and the over step may be more than in the ordinary walk. Again, speed and conformation will affect the amount of over reach. This is simply a faster, more active version of a regular walk.
The running walk: Head nod continues into this fastest of the walking gaits. The croup remains steady and the hind legs take long, reaching steps, unlike the higher, quicker motion in the fox trot. There is no obvious "breaking" in the hocks in the running walk, and the front legs take a less reachy step than in the fox trot. Over step increases so that the horse is often stepping over his front track by a couple of feet.
Knowing the mechanics, sound and look of each gait doesn't do you much good once you are in the saddle. Unless you ride in a mirrored hall, with a good ground person, or review your work constantly with a video recorder, you also need to know how each gait feels when you are riding it. Only when you now that what you feel isn't the "right" gait will you be able to start doing something to correct the "wrong" one. Here, ranging from rough to smooth, is the way the gaits feel under saddle.
Trot: I assume you know how this feels, but in case you have forgotten, a trot is a gait that can range from the relatively comfortable jog to the fast extended trot that will jar your teeth unless you have learned how to sit or post it. Motion in the trot is an up and down bounce as the horse jumps from one diagonal pair of legs to the other.
Pace: This gait is as uncomfortable as any trot, this time bouncing the rider from side to side as the horse jolts from one lateral pair of legs to the other. It is not easy to sit, but it can be posted if you are adventurous. [Icelandic horses do a flying pace called a "flug skeith" which is so fast that it is no longer uncomfortable. This gait is not common in other breeds of gaited horses.]
Stepping Pace: This gait gives a subtle side to side sway instead of the jolt of the true pace. This rocking motion can sometimes make people seasick, but the gait is fairly smooth to ride.
Fox trot: This gait moves the rider front to back in the saddle with a definite "push-pull" motion. The hind quarters feel active, moving up and down in a kind of "stutter step", and in some horses you can feel a pull from the shoulders in a rolling motion. There is never a sensation of a side to side sway in this gait.
"Fox walk": This is a smoother version of the fox trot, with less "push-pull" motion and a less well defined "stutter step." Again, there is no side to side motion in this gait, and less "bounce" to the hind quarters than in the true fox trot.
Running walk: This gait also moves the rider a bit from front to back in the saddle, combining it with a rolling motion in the shoulders. However, there is no noticeable up and down motion in the hindquarters, just a driving sensation as the hind legs push the horse forward. The sensation is the horse equivalent of riding on a river boat with a paddle wheel turning just out of phase on each side.
"Saddle" rack: The movement in this gait is a very slight side to side sway, but the primary feeling is of the legs moving rapidly and independently. The rider sits at the smooth center while the shoulders and hindquarters are moving rapidly up and down.
Rack: The feel of this gait and the "saddle" are very similar, although this is a faster longer reaching gait. There is more of a feeling of the horse "climbing a ladder" in front in this gait, and the hind quarters feel very active. Again, the rider is sitting in the smooth center while action goes on all around him.
Walk and flat walk: These two gaits feel almost the same. In the ordinary walk the rider moves from front to back in the saddle, with no part of the horse feeling more active than any other. You should feel each footfall distinctly and evenly as the horse moves in this gait. In the flat walk, the back and forth motion is reduced and you can feel a strong push from each hind leg. The flat walk will often be more comfortable than the ordinary walk as the undulating motion in the horse's back is reduced.
It takes time, practice, and thought to feel these differences in the gaits, but once you know what a particular gait should feel like you will not mistake it for another even if both are comfortable.
If you know the look, sound and feel of a gait, you can usually tell what a horse is doing without slow motion video to pick out each step. Don't be distracted by the length of step or speed of a gait. Those may be aspects of the quality of a gait, but they are not necessary to define a gait. Remember that some of the "body language" of gaits can be artificially produced. A horse can be made to nod his head in a rack or a hard trot to confuse people who rely on that sign of a running walk or fox trot. Some relaxed horses flop their ears in time with their gait. Others simply can't hold them still because of human intervention. A quick step may be a sign of a good paso corto, or it may result from worn feet on hard ground. The gait is what the legs, feet and body of the horse determine it to be, the rest of these clues to a gait are mainly frosting on the cake.

PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) a simple cost effective way to buy your new or nearly new
You choose the car, the deposit, how long you want the contract to run for and the mileage you intend to do. You will then receive a quote for fixed cost motoring for the length of the contract. At the end of the contract you have a choice to either buy the car outright for an agreed lump sum (the GFV or final balloon payment), or hand the vehicle back to the lender.
Hire Purchase allows you to take ownership of a car once all payments are made.
This is one of the most popular methods to buy a new vehicle. You pay an initial deposit, then pay off the balance in monthly payments over an agreed period of time, when the payments are complete the car is yours.
One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on
monthly payments.
Hire Purchase allows you to tailor your finance package as deposit, length of time and monthly payments are all flexible.
Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for
private individuals. This
is one of the most common form of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a car for a contractual period � usually referred to as the �lease period�. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract � when the contract expires you will simply return the car and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your car.

'Oh, just put Ms.'
Whenever I'm asked, 'Is it Miss or Mrs?', I find myself saying this in as casual and non-threatening a voice as possible. 'Oh, don't you go troubling yourself, let's just put Ms for your convenience,' is the tone I'm going for. Heaven forfend you should worry, for even a second, that you'll be on the end of some frightening feminist diatribe.
I have used Ms since I was eighteen. My brother, with that casual and instinctive ability for a wind-up common to all older siblings, would insist 'You're not Ms. You're just trying to sound grown up. You're a Miss.'
'I don't have to be,' I would always bite. 'I'll be Miss if you'll be Master.' Why the irritating assumption that Ms was only for divorcees, lesbians and spinsters, all of them secretly bitter that matrimony was out of their grasp? My generation would change all that: we'd be scrappy and sexy and all called Ms, married or not.
Fifteen years later, I have come to accept that 'Ms' has failed. Partly because it is unpleasing to say, the hissing, voweless meanness of the word, which pulls the speaker's lips into a sour pucker. Partly because it has no pedigree, it was simply plonked into the language without a backstory. It still carries all its old assumptions: that the user is angrily seeking to conceal her matrimonial state, and is spoiling for a fight about it.
But I still believe that a title should be a term of respect, and that respect should not be graded. 'Miss' carries no status, 'Ms' is aggressive and 'Mrs', I'm afraid, is respectable and dowdy. 'But I want people to know I'm married!' is the cry from some of my female friends. 'I'm proud of it!' And yet there is no equivalent term for a married man. If a demonstration of one's marital state is such a pressing need, you'd have thought that the other half of the population would have sorted out one of their own.
Other nations have managed this far better. In France, 'Madame' is a respectful term of address for adult women, with 'Mademoiselle' reserved for little girls and times when one wishes to be flirtatious. Germany now uses only 'Frau', and has relegated 'Fraulein' to the past. So here is our answer. Rather than introducing yet another layer of complexity into the status of women, in the UK we should simply have abolished 'Miss' and all gone for 'Mrs'. That should be the only option on the forms, the question never asked.
Ms has failed because it retained the existing power structure – there was still a more desirable term of address for women. When given the option, most married women still opt for the title that gives them more status, which is a pretty sensible move when looked at dispassionately. Power doesn't readily shift downwards. This can be seen by the trend for male forenames to become female ones. Billie, Georgie, Sam, Jamie, and even traditionally gender-neutral names like Kelly and Hilary have moved from male to female. They never, ever go the other way. Given to a girl, they confer a spunky, appealing boyishness, since male characteristics are still the most prized. Can you imagine a shift the other way? If a friend of yours called their son Valerie, wouldn't you find yourself thinking 'Poor little scrap. He'll never hear the end of this in the playground'?
Brighton has recently introduced the title 'Mixter' to their official forms, to permit a gender-neutral term of address. Brighton, I applaud and love you, but you are wasting your time. If we are to adopt a respectful, neutral title, one which confers to all users a lack of judgement and a sense of human dignity, then there is only one real choice. Mister.
We should all of us, men, women, and those of us who occupy the middle ground, be Mister. Oh yes, I can hear you shout, let's be more imaginative. Why not 'Citizen', with its delightful overtones of Superman, or a wholly new word, maybe 'Confabulous'? I understand, but we will never, ever get those who have access to powerful titles to adopt another, even for such noble ends as equality. (We have all met people who, having attained professional titles such as Professor or Reverend, insist on using them in a non-professional context, like when you meet them at a wedding. To these people, I say Stop It. )
Men will never give up Mr. And why should they? It confers respect, is straightforward, and implies no judgement. It does everything a title should do.
Let's join them.

Chlamydia is a sexually transmitted disease that infects close to 3 million people in the United States each year. For women, chlamydia causes an inflammation of the cervix which often produces no symptoms. Unfortunately, the bacteria can make its way up into the uterus and cause a bigger infection (called pelvic inflammatory disease). Some women get very sick from this infection, and for others it happens silently with no pain, fever, or outward signs. Either way it can scar the fallopian tubes, causing infertility.
Chlamydia is also a factor in premature delivery. A new study from The Netherlands (published in May in the European Journal of Epidemiology) tells us that women who have chlamydia during pregnancy are more than 4 times more likely to delivery before 32 weeks.
Because it is almost always a silent infection, most women have no idea they have chlamydia. Therefore, it is vital to get screened during pregnancy at your first visit. Remember, if you had sex, you are at risk for an STD. If you have concerns about your partner's fidelity, you have had sex with more than one partner during your pregnancy, or if you are 24 years and younger (women under 25 are three times more likely to have chlamydia than women 25 years and older) ask to be screened again at the end of your second trimester.

Women, HIV and Violence
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), violence against women (VAW) is a "global health problem of epidemic proportions." Violence against women refers to acts of violence directed toward women simply because they are women. These acts can include forms of physical, emotional, and sexual harm -- or threats of harm. Often, women do not consider these harmful acts as violence, either because the acts are considered to be normal in their society, or because they occur so often that they seem normal.
Violence against women is extremely common, affecting as many as seven in ten women in some countries. The majority of women suffer violence at the hands of their husbands, intimate partners, or other men they know. Women can also experience violence at the hands of their female partners, as this type of violence is just as common in same-sex relationships as in heterosexual relationships. Among women of reproductive age, "acts of violence cause more death and disability than cancer, malaria, traffic accidents and war combined" (UN Women)."
This violence has horrible consequences, both for women and their communities. The WHO reports that as many as 38 percent of women worldwide who are murdered are killed by their intimate partners. Women who experience intimate partner violence are about twice as likely to experience both depression and alcohol abuse. The damaging effects that this violence has on women's emotional and physical health also create lasting consequences for the children and family members who depend on them.
In March 2012, U.S. President Obama established an interagency federal working group to look at how HIV/AIDS, violence against women and girls, and gender-based health disparities connect together, or intersect. This working group examined how violence against women and girls affects their likelihood of getting HIV and how they live with HIV. In the U.S., more than one in three women report having experienced rape, physical violence, or stalking in their lifetimes. Moreover, women living with HIV (HIV+) are much more likely to have experienced violent relationships (e.g., intimate partner violence) than HIV-negative women.
In September 2013, the working group released a report of federal policy recommendations and action steps to address the intersection of HIV and violence against women. These include:
- increasing screening for intimate partner violence and HIV among women
- improving outcomes for women living with HIV by addressing history of violence and trauma
- addressing factors that add to increased risk of violence among women living with HIV
There are several ways in which violence and HIV are connected for women. Women who are abused or fear a violent response may not be comfortable asking their partner to use protection (e.g., a condom) during sex. Similarly, women in abusive relationships may not be comfortable saying no to sex if their abusive partner refuses to use protection when asked. Lastly, forced sex acts can cause cuts, scrapes, or tears that make it easier for HIV to enter the body. All of these can put women at higher risk for HIV, and make living with HIV more difficult.
One promising tool that HIV-negative women can use to prevent HIV without their partners' cooperation is PrEP, or Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis. PrEP refers to taking HIV drugs before being exposed to HIV to avoid becoming HIV+. For more information on how PrEP works and if it might be right for you, see our fact sheet on PrEP for Women.
Many women with HIV have a history of being physically or sexually abused before they found out about their HIV status. Several studies have shown that women with a history of physical and/or sexual abuse are more likely to be living with HIV, especially if that abuse first started during childhood years. Childhood abuse is closely linked with later drug use, having multiple sexual partners, being with a male partner who is at a higher risk of HIV, and exchanging sex for drugs, money, or shelter. If a woman uses drugs, alcohol, or sex to escape the pain of prior abuse, she may be at increased risk of acquiring HIV due to sharing injection equipment and having sex without condoms or other barriers. All of these factors place a woman who has been abused at a higher risk for getting HIV.
Many women may be at risk of abuse or violence because they tell their partner or the person they live with about their HIV status. One study revealed that over one in four women with HIV had been physically harmed since their HIV diagnosis. Therefore, it is important to disclose your HIV status safely (see below). Among women living with HIV, studies have also shown that trauma and violence are associated with poorer health as a result of reduced HIV drug use and decreased adherence. For more information on the connection between trauma and HIV among women, see our fact sheet on Trauma and HIV.
Violence occurs more often in relationships in which there is a difference in power. Women living with people who are larger or stronger than they are may feel physically afraid. Also, women usually earn less money than men and are more likely to be financially dependent on others. If the person a woman lives with is the one who pays the bills and provides her with a home, then the woman may feel afraid, less independent, and less able to get away from her abuser.
What Is Domestic or Intimate Partner Violence?
Domestic violence occurs when a person you are dating, living with, or married to is repeatedly harmful or threatening to you - physically, sexually, verbally, emotionally, or financially. The person doing these things will often do them to gain or keep power and control. "Intimate partner violence" is another term used to describe violence in which a current or former partner or spouse physically, sexually, or psychologically harms you.
Intimate partner violence can happen to anyone. It affects people regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, education level, financial situation, or marital status. It is important to learn about how abuse happens, how to identify it, and how to end it or get away from it. If you are feeling threatened right now, call 911 in the U.S. or the National Domestic Violence hotline in the U.S. at 800-799-SAFE [1-800-799-7233; or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY)]. You can also search for a safe space online at Domestic Shelters. If you live outside the U.S., please go to the Hot Peach Pages to find help near you.
It is important to remember that, if someone threatens you, it is NOT your fault. You deserve to be treated with respect and to be safe. Often, women who have been abused have been humiliated to the point that they believe that they deserve whatever abuse comes their way. This is NEVER true.
Intimate partner or domestic violence can take many forms. These include:
- Verbal abuse (using words to put someone down or make them feel bad), threats, constant blame or criticism; all of these are emotionally abusive
- Mild physical harm -- like pulling hair or twisting flesh
- Violent actions that leave marks -- like hitting, slapping, pushing, beating, or throwing things
- Extreme violence using knives or guns
- Rape or sexual assault (being forced into sexual acts without your consent)
- Economic or financial abuse (e.g., preventing someone from getting a job, making her ask for money)
- Intimidation -- making someone afraid by threatening them, giving them nasty looks, destroying property, harming pets, etc.
- Isolation -- controlling what someone does, where she goes, what she wears, what she reads, etc.
- Using threats to pressure or force (e.g., threatening suicide, reporting someone to immigration, threatening to take children away)
- Using male privilege to treat her like a servant, act like he is the 'king of the castle,' etc.
Domestic violence often begins with threats or emotional abuse. While these harmful words or actions may or may not lead to actual physical harm, they can still be very upsetting and scary, and leave long-term emotional scars.
While most domestic or intimate partner violence involves men assaulting women, it can also involve men assaulting their male partners, or women assaulting their male or female partners. Studies have shown that intimate partner violence can happen as often in same-sex couples as it can in heterosexual couples.
Questions to Ask Yourself or Someone Who May Have Been Abused
Sometimes, it can be difficult to know if you or someone you know has been abused, because victims may confuse their partner's actions with a form of love or caring.
This list of questions might help you or someone you know identify the abusive actions of a partner or someone else in the home:
Do you ever feel unsafe at home?
Have you ever felt threatened by your partner, ex-partner, or other person in your home?
Are you in a relationship where you have been physically hurt?
Has a partner, ex-partner, or person you lived with ever:
- Pushed, grabbed, slapped, choked, or kicked you?
- Forced you to have sex or made you do sexual things you did not want to do?
- Threatened to hurt you, your children, or someone close to you?
- Stalked, followed, or monitored you (this includes checking your daily movements, emails, phone calls, and texts)?
- Kept you from seeing your friends or family? Told you where you could or could not go?
- Prevented you from getting a job, or limited your access to money?
Danger Signs in a Partner or Potential Partner
While there may not be any one profile or way to identify someone who is an abuser, you may notice your partner acting in one or more of these ways. He/she may:
- Be overly jealous
- Have big mood swings
- Have an explosive temper
- Have low self-esteem
- Blame you for their own problems
- Use words to make you feel bad about yourself
- Try to control you (e.g., limiting where you go, how much money you have, what you buy)
- Try to keep you from your family or friends
Disclosing Safely
Sadly, many women with HIV are sexually or physically assaulted soon after they disclose their HIV status. Try to decrease this risk with the following:
- Disclose in a semi-public place like a public park with many people around. Find a place that is private enough to have a conversation, but public enough to get help if you need it.
- Consider disclosing with a third person present, like a friend or a health care provider
- Meet only in public with that person until you feel safe
- Avoid exposing others to HIV without warning them ahead of time. The risk of violence may be greater if a person feels you knowingly put them at risk or lied to them. In the U.S., your county health department may have a program that can disclose for you anonymously (your name is not shared), or it may provide services to help you disclose safely.
Decreasing Your Risk
There are no guarantees, but you can help lower your risk for domestic or intimate partner violence:
- Do your homework. To find out information on the person you are dating (such as if he or she has a violent criminal record), consider doing a background check. In the U.S., there are a number of companies that provide this service for a fee. For more information, go to: http://publicrecordssearchonline.org.
- Keep in touch with people who support you. Whether it is family, friends, a support group, peer advocate/counselor, or health care provider, do not let your relationship with any one person keep you from staying in touch with others.
- Get help and support. If you have been physically or sexually abused in the past, it is important to get help from a mental health professional or a support group. Otherwise, the past may be more likely to repeat itself.
- Avoid entering an abusive relationship. Be aware of the warning signs of abuse (described above), when starting relationships. If you see warning signs, the best time to leave an abuser is the first time it happens.
- Stay informed. Learn all you can about domestic violence, even if you think you will never need to know about it.
Leaving a Violent Relationship
It is never easy to leave a relationship, and it can be especially difficult to leave one that involves domestic or intimate partner violence. The key is to have a safety plan.
- Stay safe. Leaving your partner or someone you live with can be upsetting to that person. Make your safety (and that of your children) your top priority.
- Be prepared. If you leave, do not forget your HIV drugs and any other medications you take, medical records, birth certificate, credit cards, checkbook, etc. Assume that anything you leave may end up in the dumpster or used to find you. It may help to leave an emergency kit with some of these items with a trusted friend, family member, or service provider. If you do not want to give the name of the person you are afraid of, you can put it in a sealed envelope and ask them to open it only if you disappear or become too injured to identify the person who hurt you.
- Document. Get medical attention if needed and get photos of any injuries that show. Have photos signed and dated by medical or law enforcement personnel if possible. A friend or family member can also sign and date for future evidence.
- Get help. Do not try to do this alone. It may be awkward or embarrassing to reach out to others, but your health and life may be at risk. If you cannot seek help for yourself, think of those who love you and may depend on you. Go to friends, the police, family, an emergency room, or a local shelter.
In the U.S., call the National Domestic Violence hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE [1-800-799 -7233; or 1-800-787-3224 (TTY)]. You can also search for a safe space online at Domestic Shelters. If you live outside the U.S., please go to the Hot Peach Pages to find help near you.
If you have experienced domestic or intimate partner violence, always remember -- it is not your fault. It can happen to anyone. Anyone who physically, verbally, or sexually attacks another person is responsible for his or her actions. The most important thing is to get safe and stay safe.
The Well Project has compiled a list of additional Resources on the Intersection of Women, HIV and Violence. We invite you to take a look at the resources we have gathered on personal stories, scientific data, policy efforts, reports, community-based toolkits, and hotlines for women in need of support.

DAM999 is an upcoming 3D movie directed by Sohan Roy, and the production company behind that movie has recently launched a dedicated 3D website for the movie (for anaglyph red-cyanglasses), which is dubbed as the world's first 3D movie website. I can say that I like the idea, although for the moment besides the website's dynamic 3D background and the 3D movie trailer, there is not much content in 3D available, but more is expected. And maybe in the future we'll be seeing more dedicated 3D websites from other movie productions that will be made in 3D, also releasing official 3D movie trailers not only in anaglyph, but in Side by Side format as well.
Movie Storyline:
The story revolves around the central edifice in this movie, a 100 year old Dam built by British during their colonial days in India. Like a Dam, each character in this movie, holds back their emotions for various reasons, eventually the DAM breaks along with that of its characters drawing the audience to gripping climax. The numerical 999 has got great importance in British Colonial Indian historical pages. The story reveals the concealed truth of India's age old myths and science.
The movie is a message to the world about the overlooked dangers of outdated dams; the realities of the marine world; the tradition, culture and forgotten medical cures of the Indian history; the pain and pleasure of being in love and the nine hidden but living emotions of a man. This movie is a tribute to the 1975 Banqiao Dam disaster in China that claimed 250,000 innocent lives. DAM999, the movie is in its final Post production stage and is expected to be released in 3D later this year.

One of the best things about 80's sci-fi were the wireframe graphics and user interfaces so many film and TV artists thought we'd be using in the future.
Seen all over the place (here's Running Man's intro as an example), they've sadly faded into obscurity as the world (and movies) moved on and realised it could do so much better.
For sad nostalgics like me, though, there's no harm in revisiting the style, and that's exactly what Vektropolis, from British studio Dark Computer Entertainment, looks to be trying to do.
The video above is still very early in the development process, with some placeholder assets and sound in place. Even from what's there, though, it looks pretty good!
You can keep up with the game's development on its official Twitter account, which is also where you can find some nice screenshots.

Sample sizes for ordered categorical ...
Mplus Discussion
Categorical Data Modeling
Tor Neilands
posted on Friday, March 24, 2006 - 2:26 pm
I am helping two colleagues with two separate models that are being fit in Mplus. In the process of helping them, I am encountering sample size issues on which I would find your thoughts to be very helpful.
In the first situation, a post-doctoral fellow wishes to evaluate whether exogenous predictor A (family financial violence) impacts distal outcome C (post-partum depression) via mediating variable B (partner violence to spouse). All three variables are dichotomous yes/no variables. Though the sample size is 291, only 15 participants exhibited depression and crosstabular tables of the A*B and B*C linkages show several instances of very small cell sizes, on the order of 1-8 participants per cell. Though Mplus faithfully runs the analysis and is able to generate bootstrap-based confidence intervals without rejecting any bootstrap samples, generalizing from such small cells seems problematic. Would you agree? Is there literature you can recommend that offers recommendations of minimum cell sizes for ordered categorical data modeling in SEM using ML and WLSMV estimators?
In the second scenario, a confirmatory factor analysis is being performed on a sample of 477 respondents who responded to 10 Likert survey items on the topic of experiencing homosexuality stigma. The scale points are 1 = never experienced the event, 2 = experienced the event once, 3 = experienced the event a few times, 4 = experienced the event many times. Because some of the events are experienced rarely, there are a number of items for which the number of participants who experience categories 2-4 can be quite small (< 10). For a few of the items, there are on respondents who endorsed categories three or four. As in the first example, Mplus fits the (two factor) model without incident using WLSMV estimation, but I am curious to know if the spareness of the data for some of the categories could prove problematic from an interpretational standpoint.
With best wishes and many thanks for your thoughts,

My 1989 article in Soc Meth & Research talks about sample size issues with factor analysis of binary items. For your path model, the Hosmer-Lemeshow logistic regression book would see useful as well for sample size issues. I would agree that this is very small sample, even for logistic regression. Regarding the CFA, I would look for the Version 4 warnings about zero cells in bivariate tables; if they occur I would collapse categories. Other than that, situation-specific simulations would be the only real way to get further insights into the quality of the results.

Read more about it here
We've made this spoof of Sealord's TV ad to reveal the truth beneath the public relations.
Sealord previously bought much of its tuna from boats using purse seine nets set on fish aggregating devices (FADs). These floating lures attract far more than adult tuna and this destructive method is globally responsible for catching about 200,000 tonnes of other marine life every year.
Sealord announced on the 29th of May 2013 that it plans to remove the method from its supply chain of canned skipjack tuna by early 2014.
1 - 12 of 900 results.
In its new ad campaign Sealord says it looks after the ocean - because the sea means everything, that they take sustainability seriously, always take a conservative approach and aim to leave the oceans in a better condition than how they find them.That all sounds great, but unfortunately it's stretching the truth.In one video they say "Sealord tuna comes from stocks where the fish numbers are healthy". But yellowfin tuna has all but disappeared from New Zealand waters, and our own Government has been sounding the alarm internationally about declining commercial and recreational catches. What's more, Sealord's tuna is caught using one of the worst tuna fishing methods -- a deadly combo of fish aggregating device (FAD) and giant purse seine net which catches and kills endangered sharks, turtles, juvenile tuna and lots of other ocean life, and threatens tuna stocks.That is not a conservative approach, it is not taking sustainability seriously and it will not leave our oceans in a better condition than they are now. Many of the species caught as bycatch around FADs are in serious decline.It seems that for Sealord, sustainability is mostly about the sustainability of their image.Before claiming that they live for the sea, Sealord needs to change its tuna to FAD free.Until then their talk about being sustainable just sounds like a tall story. Note:We mean no disrespect to the people in this video. Sealord have run this advertising campaigning knowing the unsustainability of their tuna products and the damage that FADs are doing to ocean life. The people of Nelson and other fishing communities around the world deserve to be fishing in to the future. Only healthy oceans will provide long term jobs for the fishing industry.

Outdoor Residential Waste Burning
This page last reviewed November 7, 2019
|Burning household waste affects
your health and your community's health...
you know the dangers from burning household waste near your home?
Today's trash contains plastics, metals, and synthetic materials that
create dangerous chemicals when burned. These chemicals include
dioxins, benzene, PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), and other compounds
that are known to cause respiratory ailments, stress human immune
systems, and are potentially carcinogenic.
To protect community health, the Air Resources Board (ARB) approved an Airborne Toxic Control Measure (ATCM) to reduce air emissions of dioxins and other toxic substances from outdoor residential waste burning statewide.
Per this ATCM, beginning January 1, 2004, no household trash or garbage may be burned outdoors at residences. Dry, natural vegetation, grown on the property, may still be burned outdoors in open piles, unless prohibited by local controls. Burn barrels are not allowed for burning waste, including vegetation, at residences.
There are temporary exemption areas, with extremely low population density, where dry, non-glossy paper and cardboard might be burned, and where burn barrels might be permitted at residences. These temporary exemption areas are determined by local air districts and are listed by census zip code tabulation area (ZCTA) for each county. California's Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) has compiled information about alternative waste disposal options in your community. Contact your local air district to obtain more information about residential burning in your area, including times when burning is restricted due to poor air quality. If you do not know the associated local air district, please go to our district look-up database.

After prodding from conservationists, Mountain View-based Google is redesigning its bridge project over Stevens Creek, one of the most hotly contested infrastructure projects in recent memory.
Google has axed one of the two elevated automobile bridges over Stevens Creek proposed to carry shuttles to a planned 42 acre campus at NASA Ames for Google's Planetary Ventures division, according to a letter to city officials.
"To confirm Google's intentions going forward, Google has determined that the proposed new vehicle bridge at Crittenden is not required," wrote Google real estate and construction manager John Igoe in the April 3 letter. A pedestrian bridge at Crittenden Lane would also be "deleted completely," Igoe wrote.
The change in direction was applauded by Shani Klainhaus of the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society.
"I'm glad Google is no longer considering a vehicular bridge over Crittenden Lane that would have adverse impacts to Stevens Creek and the wetlands," Kleinhaus said. "We are looking forward to a comprehensive and adequate review of the new proposals for bridges at the Charleston site."
A Google spokesperson said Google considered feedback received, which includes over 100 comments from environmental and conservation groups,
"As we said when we initially introduced this plan, working with the city of Mountain View and local community and environmental groups would be an important part of the process," the spokesperson said. "We've taken their feedback and come up with a plan that provides environmentally-friendly transportation alternatives in the North Bayshore area."
The initial environmental study for the two-bridge project had come to the conclusion that "no significant contribution to cumulative impacts would occur," but conservationists disagreed.
Conservationists said a new auto bridge from the end of Crittenden Lane in particular would have been unnecessarily harmful to a long list of animals and birds, including the California clapper rail and salt marsh harvest mouse, two California "species of concern" that have habitat nearby or have been seen in the area, said Eric Mruz, refuge manager of Don Edwards National Wildlife Refuge.
Conservationists noted that one bridge was more than adequate for the amount of traffic proposed, but Google's architects said the two-bridge design would improve circulation of the shuttles among Google's campuses on Charleston and Crittenden streets. Private auto traffic would not be allowed over the Google-owned bridges.
"To disrupt the creek with two crossings seems totally gratuitous." writes Gita Dev of the Sierra Club, one of 19 groups and individuals who provided comments on the project's initial environmental study, said Kevin Woodhouse, assistant to the city manager.
"Although the project has the effect of reducing single occupancy trips and providing access to emergency response vehicles and VTA vehicles, it achieves these goals at the cost of sacrificing the preservation of open space, view corridors, and avoiding adverse impacts on the creek and marsh," wrote Alice Kaufman of the Committee for Green Foothills.
Mruz had similar comments.
"Any bridge built as a part of this project should be built no closer to wetlands than the proposed Charleston Road site," Mruz wrote. "No bridges should be placed at Crittenden Lane."
Kaufman proposed one new vehicle bridge and one new pedestrian bridge Charleston Road. Disabled access and safety improvements should be made to an older existing bridge over the creek at Crittenden Lane, Kaufman said, an idea which Google later proposed in its letter.
Large egret colony lives near bridge site
While it may be the least problematic bridge, Kleinhaus expressed concern about how the Charleston Road bridge could impact the South Bay's large egret colony in nearby trees. Kleinhaus notes there have recently been 40 nests there for the long-legged, pointy-beaked birds.
"The Charleston Bridge is proposed next to the first in a line of nine city of Mountain View Sycamore trees on Shorebird Drive that host an established, thriving egret nesting colony," Kleinhaus wrote in her comments on the study.
Volunteers with the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory and Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society have been monitoring this colony since 2005, when there were 21 great egret nests, said Kleinhaus. In 2011, there were 40 great egret nests and five snowy egret nests, and it was the largest great egret colony in the South Bay, she said.
"The egret colony is an important natural resource for the City of Mountain View and North Bayshore and, as a source of Great and Snowy Egrets, to the entire region. Intentional or accidental eviction of this colony would not be acceptable to the birding community of our region," Klienhaus wrote.
Bridge could impact nearby wind tunnel
According to its official comments, the U.S. Air Force is also concerned about impacts of the Charleston Road bridge, but not to wildlife.
The Air Force operate the world's largest wind tunnel nearby for testing full scale airplane aerodynamics, and wants assurance that winds won't suffer disruptive turbulence from any structure within a certain range of the tunnel's large mouth, which inhales fresh Bay air from across the wetlands.
"Highly turbulent atmospheric winds can increase the test section turbulence intensity to unacceptable levels," says a 1987 memo about the wind tunnel from NASA official Jim Ross. "Atmospheric turbulence is much larger when the wind blows over buildings than over open fields." He adds that the effect was found by researchers who created a 1/15 scale model of the wind tunnel.
Ross's memo also outlines building restrictions in front of the wind tunnel which impose a height limit of 25 to 35 feet on the Bayview parcel where Google has planned its 42-acre campus.
