Despite efforts to provide them with
alternatives such as the shelter, women frequently and repeatedly returned to
violent and abusive partners. By the late 1970s, feminists at Women Together,
like those doing similar work throughout the United States, began to understand
that battered women experience a range of post-traumatic psychological responses
to abuse, similar to those of victims of other types of violence or trauma.
Subsequently, the psychological response of battered women became reified as
"battered woman syndrome," a sub-category of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Interestingly, in the course of trying to create social change, the focus of

Despite the numerous warnings about extreme weather, rising sea levels and mass extinctions, one message seems to have got lost in the debate about the impact of climate change. A warmer world won’t just be inconvenient. Huge swathes (片) of it, including most of Europe, the US and Australia as well as all of Africa and China will actually be uninhabitable--- too hot, dry or stormy to sustain a human population.
This is no mirage. It could materialize if the world warms by an average of just 4°C, which some models predict could happen as soon as 2050. This is the world our children and grandchildren are going to have to live in. So what are we going to do about it
One option is to start planning to move the at-risk human population to parts of the world where it will still be cool and wet. It might seem like a drastic move, but this thought experiment is not about scaremongering (危言耸听). Every scenario is extrapolated from predictions of the latest climate models, and som

Despite their names, satin and soman are exceptionally ugly sisters. They are organophosphorous nerve gases. They are cheap and simple to manufacture. And mere milligrams—just a drop—of either is enough to kill an adult in a couple of minutes. They therefore make particularly fine weapons of mass destruction, equally popular with rogue dictators who have not been able to build nuclear bombs and with weird cults such as Aum Shinrikyo, which gassed the Tokyo subway in 1995. 我来回答: 提交
