"If it isn't broke, don't fix it," or so the saying goes… Although that common wisdom may be useful when it's applied to electronics, it's less helpful when it comes to our posture. All too often people don't do anything to improve their posture until they're experiencing chronic pain. Unfortunately, at that point, degenerative damage can only be halted, not reversed.
Chiropractors hate to see that happen, particularly when there are ways to prevent degenerative damage. In our step-by-step guide to improving your posture, you'll learn to sit and stand straighter, walk taller, and ultimately prevent the type of muscle and joint deterioration that creates unnecessary wear and tear on the body.
Because most people have grown accustomed to slouching, they tend to feel normal when their posture is incorrect. For that reason, people typically do a poor job of assessing their own posture. That is why your first step to having better body position is to see a chiropractor for a posture evaluation.
During an assessment, your chiropractor will conduct a physical examination to see if your spine is properly aligned. He'll take X-rays of your spine which will show how your bones are aligned, the impact they're having on your joints, and whether there are any signs of degeneration, such as arthritis of the spine. He'll also discuss environmental variables that may be affecting your posture, including the types of daily activities you participate in, the position of your workstation and the height of your desk chair.
Based on all of these factors, your chiropractor will design a treatment plan that prevents stress on your joints and keeps you strong while also improving your posture. Thus, an assessment is an easy and safe way to get started on your journey to better posture. Don't omit this step!
Once your evaluation is complete, you'll want to receive regular chiropractic adjustments, as outlined in your treatment plan. Chiropractic adjustments manipulate the spine, correcting structural alignment and improving the way your body functions.
When you visit your chiropractor for an adjustment, he'll ask you to lay face down on a padded table. Your chiropractor will then apply a controlled force to specific joints, pushing them beyond their usual range of motion.
Chiropractic adjustments help align the spine and ease tension on surrounding tissues and nerves.
Don't worry. Experiencing pain during an adjustment is rare. At most, people may feel a mild, brief discomfort. And if you ever go to a chiropractor's office, you'll notice most people are smiling when they leave. During this corrective phase of treatment, your chiropractor will most likely recommend you come in for regular chiropractic adjustments three times a week for two weeks. This frequency is necessary to set the foundation for health by stabilizing your nervous system, muscles and spinal alignment.
When you're moving step-by-step to improve your posture, don't skip your adjustments. You want your nervous system to be in agreement with your plan to straighten out and stand taller.
No posture improvement program is complete without exercise, which should include both exercises your chiropractor prescribes for specific issues as well as other physical activities.
Because people with poor posture often have a combination of weak and tight muscles, your chiropractor will give you homework so you can continue developing better posture at home. Typically, the homework consists of performing stretches and strengthening exercises several times a week. For instance, he might recommend you stretch the pectoral muscles (the muscles in your upper chest) to bring the shoulders back. At the same time, he would also have you perform exercises to strengthen the muscles that hold the shoulders in an upright position.
Stretches and strengthening exercises prescribed by your Chiropractor can strengthen muscles and improve your posture.
If you spend a lot of time at the computer, he might suggest reverse shoulder shrugs. With this exercise, you'll stand up straight and then lift your shoulders toward your ears before rolling your shoulders back and down. This movement opens your chest while extending your spine.
Chin tucks are another common exercise you'll find in a treatment plan. With a chin tuck, you'll sit straight on the edge of a chair while maintaining a level gaze. Then, you'll slowly tilt your head toward your chest, holding the pose for several seconds. This stretches your neck muscles, promoting better posture.
Like most doctors, your chiropractor will want you to get regular physical activity. Not only is exercise good for your heart, but it also promotes better posture. Also, chiropractors can attest to the power of exercise — patients who work out regularly (without overdoing it!) tend to require fewer chiropractic treatments.
Because your core muscles work to stabilize your spine when you're engaged in an aerobic activity, spinal alignment improves. For example, if you're on an elliptical trainer, your body needs to work to maintain your head's position on top of your body. Also, toning activities like Pilates, barre and yoga build core muscle strength and, thus, also improve posture.
Commit to something you enjoy like pilates at home.
When selecting an exercise plan, choose an activity you like. The more you enjoy what you're doing, the greater the likelihood you'll stick with it.
Once the corrective phase of your posture treatment is complete, you should continue to see your chiropractor for maintenance care. Just like you visit your dentist twice a year to prevent cavities, these maintenance treatments are "tune-ups," designed to prevent future spinal alignment problems. You'll likely need to schedule these appointments every four to eight weeks for maximum benefit.
Do you want to remain active into your senior years? Prevent chronic pain? If so, this step-by-step guide is one of the best ways to do it. You'll keep your joints and muscles in tip-top shape, prevent deterioration, and avoid unnecessary effects of aging.
Rather than just getting by with an "If it isn't broken, don't fix it" mentality, use our simple chiropractic step-by-step guide to improving your posture. You'll see how much better your body responds to the philosophy, "Fix and maintain to prevent it from breaking!" Think of it this way. You would fix the alignment on your car to save your tires. So why not have a chiropractor fix your own alignment? You can always buy new tires, but you only have one body.

On the subject of promoting and marketing your small business, consider putting together a handheld marketing campaign. It is not difficult, and in fact, it may be on the list of the easiest and most cost-effective marketing you can put into action today. However, it could be a complete and utter waste of time and resources unless you decide to use it to its fullest capability.
Text message polls and contests ( often called "Text-to-Win") have become increasingly popular with quite a few small business owners. This type of prize drawing calls for ways to get people to mail a message via their cellphone to a designated SMS (Short Message Service) code. By doing this, the person gets into your contest or drawing for a chance to win a prize. Once they do, you now have their cellular phone number so that you can keep marketing to these people.
Prize drawings deliver such great results for the reason that access is definitely rapid, instantaneous and the confirmations happen to be pretty instant as well. Not only this, but they also increase shopper discussion and entertainment while helping to create your new customer database (or list) simultaneously so that you can market to all of them later on.
A majority of these special offers also deliver top results due to the fact many people help to bring other people directly into your business so they can buy your goods and services. They can be ideal for 'word of mouth'marketing promotions and are particularly powerful when it comes to generating news along with anticipation with regards to your business.
Be sure that you provide an enticing prize so you get hold of many people that want to enter as possibly can. Remember that an excellent "attractive prize" doesn't have to be an "expensive" prize… simply an item which any of your subscribers would find appealing.
Text message Groups (often known as Mobile phone Clubs) are an easy way to establish client interaction along with developing your collaboration even more along with excellent promotions as well as marketing and sales communications. It usually is as easy as customers opting-in in order to get regular text notifications on their cellphone regarding new products, in-store sales along with cellular coupon codes intended for in-store redemption.
If you're a brick and mortar business, Mobile Clubs could be a fantastic way to stay in touch with all your purchasers and be sure everybody is simply up to date regarding what is going on in your company.
At the time you start a Mobile Club, you are able to include text message notifications (also called SMS Notifications), which in turn allow for you to engage with clients with focused facts to keep your brand on top of their minds. SMS Notifications are usually fundamentally speedy textual content concerning beneficial newer services, a purchase you may well be having at the store, or maybe bursts of up-to-date information to maintain your opt-in list up to date for a unique topic of great interest.
This process will definitely continue to keep these people returning!
Give some thought to it… are there any aspects of your small business that might genuinely really benefit from a simple yet effective, real-time, conversation approach designed to develop customer commitment along with help the bank balance on promotion concurrently?
Do you need suggestions or perhaps ideas on your new product lines from your shoppers or maybe the general public on the whole? Textual content voting could possibly be your solution mainly because it means that you can engage with customers and find invaluable feedback on products and services or maybe the store experience.
The simplest way to supply customers what they want could be to ASK them what they really want. Cellular promotion makes it possible for you to complete this approach without difficulty in addition to efficiently by means of Text message Voting. Consumers lug around their mobile phones using them virtually 24 hours 7 days per week thus marketing to all of them on their cell device is actually not really difficult at all.
On top of that is the fact people like to provide their thoughts and supply recommendations on product or service which they pay for. By permitting these people to actually vote on particular components of your small business, you set about to generate a level of confidence with them that will take you a long way.
Not just that, then again text message voting helps to assemble your own list of clients since people that most likely are not at this time on your list are going to be incorporated when these people place their votes! Hopefully this has been helpful as you consider planning your upcoming mobile marketing efforts.

Hillary: Vindicated at Last!
by superuser
When, five years ago, Hillary Clinton announced the existence of a "vast, right-wing conspiracy," conservatives responded with hoots of derision and laughter. The very idea was preposterous. Or was it? Recent developments suggest she may have been prescient.
Once a week a couple of dozen leaders of conservative groups gather at the offices of Grover Norquist, head of Americans for Tax Reform. Every few weeks the National Republican Congressional Committee convenes a group of senior Republican consultants and operatives, most of them veterans of many campaigns. Why else would these groups meet regularly unless it is to plot the nation's course? Picture President Bush and House Speaker Hastert chewing their finger nails in anticipation of getting their regular marching orders from the respective groups.
Sinister? Yes, but something far more sinister seems to be afoot with such groups. Sources tell this column that these conspirators have hired specialists with a secret method to seduce unwitting Democrats into doing their bidding. The objective is to scuttle Democrat efforts to win the presidential and congressional elections of 2004. Consider the evidence:
• Liberal radio. A week ago, two major Democrat campaign donors, Sheldon and Anita Drobny of Chicago, announced they were heading a group to finance a liberal radio network to checkmate the likes of Rush Limbaugh and dozens of conservatively-oriented talk shows around the country. Their group will put up $10 million to create a daily menu of 14 hours of liberal programming. They hope to hire comedian Al Franken to tickle America's funny bone with liberal wonkery dressed up as hilarity.
The Drobnys and their friends are doing this in the face of all available logic. Mario Cuomo's effort at talk radio was about as entertaining as listening to readings from the telephone book. Jim Hightower's syndicated program also flopped, despite the host's cracker-barrel, folksy manner.
Rush and all those conservative talk-show hosts don't need investors, of course, for they have sponsors who pay to advertise. Actually, Ronald Reagan began the whole conservatives-on-radio movement back in 1975 after he left the governor's office in California. For nearly five years he had a five-minute commentary program every weekday which, at its peak, was carried on 350 stations. Some say it helped build his popularity for winning the presidency in 1980.
Now if the Drobnys were following logic, they would understand that conservative radio is a response to the prevailing liberal world view of network television news, most large newspapers and the weekly news magazines. It is a bottoms-up affair, giving voice to the views of large numbers of people who believe their views are not represented by those "mainstream" media.
Liberal philosophy and the policy prescriptions that flow from it are, on the other hand, top-down in origin. Elitists, with moral certitude, pass their ideas down to the hoi polloi.
Speaking of television, MSNBC thought it would counter Fox News's hit show "The O'Reilly Factor" with a resurrection of the liberal Phil Donahue. For those who have trouble sleeping, Donahue has proved to be a cost-free substitute for Sominex.
The very terms "liberal radio" and "liberal television" are oxymorons. The only listeners and viewers will be the faithful: policy wonks, party activists and various axe-grinders.
• Campaign finance "reform." The Democrats who were railing about "getting money out of politics" got their wish. "Soft" money is out, while the limit on "hard" money contributions (direct to candidates) was increased — after 27 years — from $1,000 to $2,000. In the 2002 election cycle the Republicans raised $332 million in hard money to $163 million for the Democrats. This was under the old rules. The Democrats were much more dependent on soft money (raising $245.8 million to $250 million for the Republicans). Nine of the 10 largest soft money contributors gave to the Democrats. Anthony Corrado, a scholar of campaign finance, was quoted in the Washington Post as saying, "The Republican Party just has a much broader base of large and small donors, and on average they give more." Harold Ickes, the Democratic operative, said, "The (Republican) spending advantage is enormous."
There is no rational explanation for Democrats in Congress to vote for a bill that has the effect of cutting off their biggest money supply. Nor, for that matter, is there one for rich Democrat donors to invest $10 million in radio programs which will attract few listeners. No, the only possible explanation is this: The vast right-wing conspiracy hired a team of hypnotists to perform their arcane ways on congressional Democrats during caucus meetings and on those rich investors at a fund-raising cocktail party for, say, Al Gore.
Once she gets wind of this fiendish, but effective, plot, Senator Hillary will no doubt introduce a bill outlawing hypnosis.

The submission deadline for the 2018 Canada Student Summer Job Programs funding applications was February 9th. While the deadline may have passed, the protest against the attestation or "values test" is far from over.
The Summer Jobs Program provides funding for full-time summer jobs for students between the ages of 15 and 30. Not-for-profit organizations, public-sector employees and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees are eligible to apply. Not-for-profit organizations can receive up to 100 percent while Public-sector employers and small businesses can receive up to 50 percent of the provincial/territorial minimum hourly wage, as well as employment-related costs.
Churches and other faith based organizations are challenging having to publicly affirm "values" that are contrary to their conscience. Counties and municipalities are joining this protest and unfortunately, as a result many students may have difficulties finding local jobs this summer..
Our Conservative party supports this view as we fundamentally believe that all Canadians should be treated equally by their government, regardless of their faith or conscience. Conservative leader Andrew Scheer recently stated "I believe that the federal government should respect the freedoms that Canadians enjoy to have different beliefs and that by imposing the personal values of Justin Trudeau on a wide variety of groups is not an appropriate way to go." Trudeau's values test simply has no place in a tolerant, multicultural society such as Canada. The Prime Minister talks a lot about respecting diversity, but his actions tell a very different story.
I thank these Municipal Administrators as well as everyone else who has contacted me to state their opposition. You can be assured that I will continue to fight for those being unfairly targeted and insist on fair and equitable access to federal programs and services. To that end, I would appreciate knowing about any other municipalities, small businesses or not-for-profit organizations, particularly faith-based organizations that are denied funding this summer for failing to provide the attestation.

THE ZELDA FICHANDLER AWARD
With this award, SDCF recognizes the profound impact and honors the legacy of the founders of regional theatre and celebrates the creativity and artistry of theatre around the country. Named after Zelda Fichandler, a founder of the American regional theatre movement, the award celebrates significant achievement in the field, singular creativity and artistry, and a deep investment in a particular region. This award is not for lifetime achievement; the intent is to honor an artist for both accomplishment to date and promise for the future. This award presents an unrestricted grant of $5,000 to an outstanding director or choreographer making an exceptional contribution to the national arts landscape through theatre work in a region. For more information, visit Zelda Fichandler Award at SDCFoundation.org. Nominations are accepted from May through June 30.
DENHAM FELLOWSHIP
In October of 2006, Mary Orr Denham established the Denham Fellowship through a bequest to SDCF in honor of her late husband, Reginald H.F. Denham. The Denham Fellowship is "an annual award to aspiring young directors, and particularly women directors, to further develop their directing skills". Candidates may apply to the Denham Fellowship under one of two criteria: fee enhancement and self producing. The Denham Fellowship under fee enhancement would serve to augment a fee offered to the Director by a theatre or producer. When the recipient is a self-producing director, the Denham fellowship will serve to cover/augment the Director's fee. Application to the Denham Fellowship is open to SDC Members and Associates only.
For information on Fellowships, visit Fellowships at SDCFoundation.org.

Home Articles chemical equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium are important in numerical and biological and environmental processes. for example, equilibrium involving O2 molecules and the protein hemoglobin play a crucial role in the transport and delivery of O2 from our lungs to our muscles.similar equilibrium involving CO molecules and hemoglobin account for the toxicity of CO.
When a liquid evaporates in a closed container,molecules with relatively higher kinetic energy escape the liquid surface into the vapor phase and number of liquid molecules from the vapor phase strike the liquid surface and are retained in the liquid phase. it gives rise to a constant vapor pressure because of an equilibrium in which the number of molecules leaving the liquid equals the number returning to liquid form the vapor. we can say that the system has reached equilibrium state at this stage. however, this is not static equilibrium and there is a lot of a activity at the boundary between the liquid and the vapor.thus, at equilibrium, the rate of evaporation is equal to the rate of condensation.
The double half arrows indicate that the processes in both the directions are going on simultaneously. the mixture of reactants and products in the equilibrium state is called an equilibrium mixture.
Equilibrium can be established for both physical processes and chemical reactions.the reaction may be fast or slow depending on the experimental conditions and the nature of the reactants. when the reactants in a closed vessel at a particular temperature react to give products keep on increasing for some time after which there is no change in the concentrations of either of the reactants or products. this stage of the system is the dynamic equilibrium and the rates of the forward and reverse reactions become equal. it is due to this dynamic equilibrium stage that there is no change in the concentrations of various species in the reaction mixture. based on the extent to which the reactions proceed to reach the state of chemical equilibrium, these may be classified in three groups.
the reactions that proceed nearly to completion and only negligible concentrations of the reactants are left. in some cases, it may not be even possible to detect these experimentally.
the reactions in which only small amounts of products are formed and most of the reactants remain unchanged at equilibrium stage.
the reactions in which the concentrations of the reactants and products are comparable, when the system is in equilibrium.
the extent of a reaction in equilibrium varies with the experimental conditions such as concentrations of reactants,temperature,etc. optimization of the operational conditions is very important in industry and laboratory so that equilibrium is favorable in the direction of the desired product. some important aspects of equilibrium involving physical and chemical processes are dealt in this unit along with the equilibrium involving ions in aqueous solutions which is called as ionic equilibrium.
EQUILIBRIUM IN PHYSICAL PROCESSES :
The characteristics of system equilibrium are better understood if we examine some physical processes. the most familiar examples are phase transformation processes, e.g.,
solid = liquid
liquid = gas
solid = gas

The Women Fighting To Save Other Women From Domestic Violence
BuzzFeed News spent time at a refuge to hear how staff deal with the constant threat of government cuts and how that affects the essential services they provide.
Rossalyn Warren
BuzzFeed News Reporter
Rebecca Hendin / BuzzFeed
In an unnamed town an unspecified distance by train from London, on a nondescript road with nameless shops, sits an ordinary-looking home with no distinctive features. A number of cars are parked outside and the blinds remain shut, revealing no identifiable information as to what's inside. The home is numbered, but the address cannot be shared – it cannot be written down with the names of the occupants, and the only time it's permissible to share it is when an ambulance is called. Even then, the address is erased from hospital records immediately and replaced with a PO Box address instead.
The locals don't know the names of the women and children they see coming in and out of the property. The school bus cannot pick up the kids from the address; instead, it collects them at the end of the road. CCTV is set up around the perimeters, and alarmed gates fence off the garden.
The building is a women's refuge, and these are the lengths it has to go to to protect the people who live there – to keep survivors of domestic violence safe from the abusive partners they've escaped. If names and locations were to be shared, women and children could be tracked down and killed.
Refuges like this one are scattered through towns and cities across the UK. You can't google where a women's refuge is – only charities can direct you there. The setup is similar to that of witness protection: Women who are fleeing violent partners are whisked out of their homes, leaving behind jobs, schools, and the communities they've grown to know, and housed in a refuge on the other side of the country. They keep their names but change their phone numbers and email addresses, and are advised not to contact people they knew in their old neighbourhood, or to ever return.
The stringent efforts the refuge goes to to keep the women safe are clear. There have only been "a handful of times" in the last three years when the location of the refuge has been inadvertently revealed by social workers or through court documents and women have had to be taken in the night and moved to a new location. One women recently had to be turned away from this particular refuge because she'd called it from her abusive boyfriend's phone. The refuge manager says that if he "put two and two together" and saw the area code for her calls after she fled, he would be able to track her down, and they couldn't risk her being found. She was located elsewhere instead.
"Nothing is ever done from this address," one employee says.
But in recent weeks, refuges have been dealing with a different sort of threat – government spending cuts that threaten their very existence and the essential services they provide.
Women's charities warned in September that the government's plan to cap housing benefit in the social sector would put two-thirds of refuges across the UK at risk of closure. Women's Aid said 67% of the refuges operating in England would be forced to close if they were not exempted from the reform – for some, housing benefit covers 90% of their costs.
The proposal sparked an outcry from charities and MPs, prompting Theresa May to address the concerns and insist in parliament that refuges would be kept safe under her watch.
"On the issue of domestic violence, we should across this house be doing all we can to stop these terrible crimes taking place and provide support to the victims and survivors of this crime," May said in the House of Commons last month. "That's why we are working on exempting refuges from the cap." The Department for Work and Pensions deferred the proposed reforms until 2018, giving refuges a temporary lifeline until they're reviewed in two years' time.
Despite May's assurance, the threat of closure of women's refuges is still looming over those working on the ground. A number of refuges have been hanging on by a thread, and staff continue to call for sustainable, long-term funding to be provided in order to protect those fleeing domestic violence when they are most at risk – the most dangerous point of an abusive relationship is when women attempt to leave.
So BuzzFeed News visited this refuge in southeast England to speak to staff about how, despite the threat of cuts, job losses, and uncertainty for the future, they are looking for ways to continue to support survivors of domestic violence. All names have been changed to protect the workers and the women they help.

The refuge itself houses eight families, with up to 21 children; most residents are mother-children pairings, although some women arrive alone, too. They are not legally bound to stay in the premises, and it is not an institution. Men are not allowed to enter the premises. The refuge gives the feel of a large, well-kept student home rather than that of a place for escapees. The rooms are warm and clean, and a few toys are scattered on the floor in a living space that leads on to a garden where a rainbow-coloured apparatus is played on by the children. The women cook for themselves in the shared kitchen, and the staff – dressed in normal clothes so as to give the feel of a more "relaxed" environment – are friendly. Recently a disabled-access lift and easy-access bathroom were built to accommodate disabled domestic violence survivors.
Women arrive to the refuge, from across the UK, in a state of shock. They have left their partners after months or years of emotional and physical abuse. Often, they have had little time to collect personal items before fleeing, and arrive with almost no possessions.
The women all share stories of survival, and the pattern of events that led them to the refuge are the same: She noticed her ex-partner became increasingly controlling; he moved closer to their home; he would comment on her appearance and weight, wearing down any self-esteem they once had; he pestered her to quit her job so he could provide for her, forcing her to rely on him with no financial independence. Little by little, the behaviour would escalate into severe forms of financial, physical, and mental abuse.
They also all had a "last straw" moment: when the abuse was directed at their child, or when the child was kidnapped and wasn't returned to her until she obtained a court order. One woman couldn't report her abusive partner to the police because she was warned that if she alerted the authorities of the abuse but didn't have the correct Home Office forms, she'd be deported.
Inside, a collective of women – many of whom are often survivors of domestic violence themselves – run the day-to-day operation: They apply for funding, organise the children's schooling, and provide emotional and practical support.
"It's very difficult to explain refuge life," Hannah, who has worked at the refuge for three years, tells BuzzFeed News. "I don't think you'd ever understand the extent of it unless you worked here every day. A lot of women arrive with just the clothes on their back – no clothing for the children, no nappies, no belongings. They often have anxiety, or are extremely fearful. They essentially have to start their lives again."
Day-to-day, Hannah, a qualified therapist specialising in bonding and group therapy, serves as a point of call for the survivors. Her work starts "as soon as they step through the door". The immediate task is to make the house "feel like their home", so the women are given cutlery, pots, toys, bedding, and toiletries, paid for by the "transition fund" that the staff raise money for every year.
Her work, Hannah says, is rewarding. "We get to see a family come in completely broken, and then leave happy and safe."
Beyond the emotional support and offer of a safe new home, the domestic violence survivors also look to Hannah and the other staff to help them regain control of their lives. The staff perform a multitude of roles that spill outside their initial remit as employees of the refuge: One colleague files the school applications for the children, another seeks funding for child minders, another introduces the women to local charities and welfare.
The refuge staff are also pushing the women's cases forward to police authorities and the Crown Prosecution Service in an attempt to secure stronger conviction rates of domestic violence. Where police and court efforts fall short, refuges like this one fill in the gaps and become the only viable option for women who want to keep themselves and their children alive. Despite facing severe financial cuts and uncertainty, it is the refuge employees fighting for justice for the women, many of whom have lost hope in the authorities ability to convict the abusive partners.
The task is far from easy.
"Sometimes we have a police officer who is brilliant, who support the client fully and give us more we can ask for and more," Hannah says. "But we also have to often deal with police who do not realise the extent of domestic violence, the patterns, and face trouble getting rid of the stigma that comes with it."
Hannah and the other employees serve as the intermediary point of call between the women and authorities, a buffer to put in calls to police to chase up court documents and complaints. A "large chunk of time" is spent chasing police reports and talking through cases and complaints with police officers over the phone – time she and the other staff wish they could spend with the women and their children.
"Just recently I had to go above a police officer to their sergeant because I felt a response he gave to one of our clients was disgusting," she says. "There's no safeguarding in place for the women, and her safety was not paramount, nor were her family's, so we have to protect them."
The refuge staff say they are constantly in talks with police and the CPS for the sake of women who "don't have the confidence to fight" their cases against abusive partners. They find it difficult to encourage the women to pursue cases when prosecution rates are so low, inspiring little hope in the survivors of abuse.
"I sometimes think police expect that when they tell the women no further action will be taken, that they will accept it," Hannah says. "What they don't realise is that there are people like us who are there with the women to step in and say, 'No, hold on a minute, you have enough evidence, you should be using this law, or that law, this is clearly what's been going on.' I feel like I'm constantly learning and searching for facts on the internet that says this law means this and this law stands for that, and then I quote it to them."
Hannah and the team are self-taught "experts" in the laws surrounding domestic violence: She says that when she and her team quote back to police officers the law they've researched – "the other day I told an officer about the coercive control law and that it was introduced last December, and he realised I knew what I was talking about" – officers listen and often "rethink" their response.
"It's likely they just don't have full understanding or training," she says.
The relationship Hannah has with police was already strained before her employment at the refuge. For seven years she was in a relationship with an abusive partner, and she faced her own battle with getting the support she needed. Her shared story with the domestic violence survivors – and her deep understanding of their emotional and practical needs taken from her own personal experience – was a large driving force behind why she decided to take a job in the refuge. Her ex-partner may "own" a large part of her past, she says, but she can take back control of her future, and wants to help the other women do the same.
"My ex-partner subjected me to physical and emotional torture," she says. "He smashed things over my head. He stole my credit card. He would mentally abuse me so I couldn't eat."
Her ex-partner would consistently use threats of suicide – he told her that if she left him, he would kill himself. He attempted suicide five times in their relationship, and so the threats would "work" for years. In 2013, he physically assaulted her so badly she thought she "was about to die", and so she moved back home. He threatened suicide again – and this time, hanged himself. In his suicide note, he placed blame on Hannah. It is uncommon for domestic abusers to follow through with threats of suicide. But Hannah then spent several years torturing herself with guilt, despite knowing that if she stayed with him she'd likely have lost her life.
It then took a turn for worse: His family and friends also blamed her for his suicide, despite having witnessed his domestic violence first hand. There were 21 recorded instances of abuse from them – she received death threats, was beaten twice outside her home, and was forced to change her car three times. At one point, Hannah had to have a police officer taken off her case because of a conflict of interest: She found out the officer meant to be pursuing her case was friends with the mother of the abusive partner on Facebook. The officer would often "like" and comment on the mother's slanderous posts against Hannah.
"The police kept telling me 'she's a grieving mother'," she says. "They took no action despite the countless evidence I provided – fingerprints, voicemails. Even after he had died, he was still somehow abusing me from his grave."
The staff may serve as a lifeline to the domestic violence survivors – but the survivors serve as a lifeline to Hannah and the other staff too. Taking employment at the refuge became Hannah's refuge from "years of torturous hell".
"Working in this refuge has been a huge part of coming out the other side," she says. "My passion is to help the women here, and let them know it will get better, because I know what it's like to have your confidence and self-worth shattered in an abusive relationship. I felt things during that time I didn't know I could feel – pure pain, when you sob so hard that your body physically burns, because you're crying because you can't make sense of it ... to anger, asking myself why did I allow myself to be treated that way. I am now constantly thinking, How can I help these women escape that?"
When ministers and officials decided refuges were to be exempted from housing benefit changes that would have seen two-thirds of them close, the decision was widely celebrated by women's charities and campaigners – but still, the threat of closure is omnipresent within the refuge.
"It was a success," Charlotte, the head of the refuge, tells BuzzFeed News. "It was a stay of execution, if you will. But we don't know what the long-term result of that will be."
She's noticed a "dramatic" shift in funding security for the refuge and domestic violence services in the last five years. Her refuge has survived several successive funding cuts, and it's "battle after battle" to hold on to the refuge's funding. "Every year, our jobs become disputable," one of Charlotte's team members says.
Charlotte now faces a unique dilemma: the need to fundraise and raise awareness of their refuge and their work, but to also not raise too much attention so they don't give away the refuge location.
"Funding is a constant nightmare – nothing is guaranteed now," Charlotte says. "Part of reason we campaign is to protect our funding. We're lucky, as locals support us and if they cut our money there would be a backlash, but that's not the same across the UK."
She adds: "The staff here are always trying to prepare for what's coming. Even with the housing benefit reforms, it felt like they wanted to shove it all through in one go, like they're trying to sneak things through, and we've got to be on the ball to let that not happen."
But it's not only the refuge properties that are at risk. For many of the women who have fled violence, the property they've been forced to flee is still occupied by their abusive partner. Laura, a 24-year-old mother of a 4-year-old girl, says her abusive partner's financial control was crippling – and that he used their property as a mechanism of control.
"It began little by little," Laura says. "At first, he would say things like, 'If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be eating that food.' I'd be hungry, and I needed to eat, but I didn't want him to think I needed him for food. Later, the same thing then happened with our house. When he forced me to quit my job, we put together to pay for the house deposit – he told me if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have a deposit for our home."
A second woman, Gloria, at the refuge faced a similar problem. Her ex-partner used to physically assault and mentally abuse her and her two daughters. Several years later, she separated from him. But he later persuaded her he had stopped drinking, that he was seeking professional help and no longer abusive. Believing him, he convinced her to buy a home together.
"As soon as we bought it," Gloria says, "he changed to being abusive. He told his friends, 'Now we have this home, I can do whatever I want.' I was locked in – and he just got worse and worse."
Today, her abusive ex – whom she later filed a restraining order against – still lives in the property. The refuge staff say this problem is common, and that they are struggling to find a pro bono lawyer to help her reclaim the property. Solace Women's Aid says domestic violence can often be the immediate cause of homelessness for many women, and has found that the majority of perpetrators of domestic abuse remain in the family home while "survivors and their children are forced to move frequently between temporary and often unsuitable housing".
In the meantime, Charlotte and women's charities are campaigning to make refuge provision a statutory responsibility for local authorities – they fear that without obligation for local authorities to fund refuge spaces, there will be more closures.
"The problem is local authorities do not see refuges as a local problem because the women come from all over the UK," Charlotte says. "A local councillor recently asked me, 'What do I say to my constituents when they question our support for a refuge because it's not local women we're supporting?', so it's a relief when we sometimes hear others say, 'Well, it's a reciprocal arrangement, our local women will go to a refuge somewhere else in the country, and others will come our ones here.'"
The staff at the refuge want to plan for the future and expand, but say that without security and a stable footing, it's "almost impossible".
"We could do so much, and we already do so much, but we need security," Charlotte says. "It seems obvious for local authorities to step up. Refuges are vital, and, simply put, Without them, more women will die."

Coronavirus Enters Web, Users Hacked With Malicious Files

cyber-hacking
New Delhi: Taking advantage of people's curiosity about the mysterious coronavirus that has become the talking point across the globe, cybercriminals have started deploying malicious files on people's computers in the guise of providing information and safety tips about the coronavirus, security researchers warned on Friday.
The researchers from cybersecurity firm Kaspersky have detected such malicious files which were masked under the guise of pdf, mp4 and Docx files about the coronavirus.
The names of files imply that they contain video instructions on how to stay protected from the virus, updates on the threat and even virus detection procedures.
In fact, these files contained a range of threats from Trojans to worms which are capable of destroying, blocking, modifying or copying data, as well as interfering with the operation of computers or computer networks.
"The coronavirus, which is being widely discussed as a major news story, has already been used as bait by cybercriminals. So far we have seen only 10 unique files, but as this sort of activity often happens with popular media topics then we expect that this tendency may grow," Kaspersky malware analyst Anton Ivanov said in a statement.
"As people continue to be worried for their health, we may see more and more malware hidden inside fake documents about the coronavirus being spread," Ivanov said.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Novel Coronavirus outbreak global health emergency after the death toll in China increased to 213 on Friday, with 9,692 confirmed in the country's 31 provincial-level regions.
Nearly 100 confirmed cases have been reported from 18 countries, outside China.
To avoid falling victim to malicious programmes pretending to be exclusive content, people should try to avoid suspicious links, promising exclusive content and refer to official sources for trustworthy and legitimate information, Kaspersky recommended.
"Look at the downloaded file extension. Documents and video files should not have been made either .exe or .lnk formats," it added.
Using a reliable security solution for comprehensive protection from a wide range of threats could also be useful.

Do I need a backup & recovery software or can I just do manual backup on my own every now and then? This is a question that we often encounter in various user forums. Well, for one, manual backup is not the same as an automatic one and the frequency may completely depend on the individual. We all can agree that nobody wants to go through the mental trauma of having all their saved data loss due to an unforeseen incident. And nobody can be particular about what data you needs to backup and how frequently. The size constraint of the backup storage device is another factor.
Considering all this, your best option would be to go for a reliable backup & recovery software that can backup all your desired data automatically into a compressed file that doesn't consume much space and the same tool can be used to recover the saved data in the case of a data loss.
So naturally, the next question is how to find you a good and reliable backup and recovery software? Well, you have come to the right place. The EaseUS backup software is easily the best out there due to a wide range of features and its enduring durability.
One of the resounding features of this EaseUS backup software is that it allows the user to decide what kind of backup they want to perform. You need not necessarily back up your entire hard drive because all those many not be irreplaceable. You need to save those crucial data that will be lost forever in case of hard drive failure or virus attack. This will make it easier for you to recover your files using this tool. When compared to a lot of backup & recovery tools out there which performs full system backup and takes ages to restore them back, this EaseUS software is a blessing because it saves valuable space and time.
One can use this tool also to clone GPT disk and partition. It comes with multiple functionalities thereby making this tool a very handy one to have. You need not install a separate tool for partition, cloning, backup, recovery. You will need just the EaseUS backup software and you are good to go. This tool comes in different versions and the user can choose one that will satisfy their requirement. The free technical support that comes with certain versions can be a very handy thing for people who are not too tech savvy. They can get timely help as to how to configure the tool and get the backup and recovery done in the best possible way.

Q: Get column name from excel worksheet In C#, how do I get the column name from a worksheet in an Excel file?
Here is my code so far:
ConnectionString = string.Format("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source={0};Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES;IMEX=1\";", "@"C:\file.xlsx");

objConn.Open();
OleDbCommand objCmdSelect = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM ["xlWorksheet"$]", objConn);

OleDbDataAdapter objAdapter1 = new OleDbDataAdapter();

objAdapter1.SelectCommand = objCmdSelect;

DataSet objDataset1 = new DataSet();

objAdapter1.Fill(objDataset1);

objConn.Close();

A: Does you connection string include the HDR=YES ?:
Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=c:\myFolder\myExcel2007file.xlsx;Extended Properties="Excel 12.0 Xml;HDR=YES";

Once you populate your DataTable or DataSet you can treat the usual way:
dt.Columns[0].ColumnName

Or:
// For each DataTable, print the ColumnName.
foreach(DataTable table in dataSet.Tables)
{
    foreach(DataColumn column in table.Columns)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(column.ColumnName);
    }
}

Also this does not look syntax correct:
OleDbCommand objCmdSelect = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM ["xlWorksheet"$]", objConn);

Should be something like:
OleDbCommand objCmdSelect = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM [" + xlWorksheet + "$]", objConn);

Finally, if you time - investigate EPPlus (open source) for reading/writing Excel - http://epplus.codeplex.com as it works in both 32-bit and 64-bit environments.

Governor El-Rufai Picks A Woman As Running Mate (Photo)
Tony Odijie November 02, 2018
The governor of Kaduna state, Nasir El-Rufai has picked a woman to be his running mate in the 2019 elections.
Dr Hadiza Balarabe and Nasir El-rufai
Nasir El-Rufai, the Kaduna State Governor, has announced the selection of a Muslim woman, Hadiza Balarabe, as his running mate for the 2019 general election.
A statement by the governor's spokesman, Samuel Aruwan, said the choice of Ms Balarabe as running mate continues Mr El-Rufai's deliberate policy of promoting women.
"There are five female commissioners in his 14-person cabinet, a feat not attained even by governors that had much larger cabinets. This is the first time in the history of Kaduna State that a major political party will select a woman as running mate.
"The incumbent Deputy Governor, Arc. Barnabas Yusuf Bala, has opted to go to the National Assembly and has since emerged as the APC's candidate for the southern Kaduna senatorial district.
"Dr. Hadiza Balarabe is the current Executive Secretary of the Kaduna State Primary Health Care Development Agency, a position she has held since February 2016. In that role she has overseen the Kaduna State Government's programme to revitalise and strengthen primary health care as the core of health service delivery in the state. Under her watch, the state is renovating and equipping 255 primary health centres with tools to assist better antenatal services and safer delivery. The agency has also helped expand vaccine coverage to protect children across the state.
"Prior to joining the Kaduna State Government, Dr. Hadiza Balarabe was Director of Public Health in the FCT. She studied Medicine at the University of Maiduguri, and graduated in 1988. She was a Senior Registrar at the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital before joining the services of the FCT in 2004.
"Dr. Hadiza Balarabe, who was born in 1966, is from Sanga local government which is located in the southern Kaduna senatorial district.

Q: Is the Euclidean norm the only norm that admits "non-reflective" isometries? Let $\|\cdot\|$ be an arbitrary norm on $\mathbb R^n$, and suppose there exists an isometry $T:\mathbb R^n\to\mathbb R^n$ that is not simply a composition of reflections along some of the $n$ axes. That is, $T$ is linear, preserves $\|\cdot\|$, and there exists some standard basis element $e_i$ such that $Te_i\neq\pm e_i.$ Suppose further that $\|e_i\|=1$ for each $1\leqslant i\leqslant n,$ where $\{e_i\}$.
Conjecture: Under these assumptions $\|\cdot\|$ must be the standard Euclidean norm.
Is this true? My intuition says yes, but I have no idea where to begin proving it.
(This question is a follow-up to this one.)

A: A norm is fully characterized by its unit ball which must be compact convex and symmetric about the origin.  An isometry must preserve the unit ball.  Now, if you take the plane for instance and the unit ball to be a regular 2n polygon, it has some finite group of rotations as symmetries.  These rotations may be products of reflections, but I don't think all of them are generated by reflections about the x and y axis.
