Pets are part of the family in the majority of American households, where nearly three-quarters of families with school-age children have at
least one companion animal. These animals are often treated like members of the family, but if the family is experiencing violence they
1
can become targets as well.
Pets are often an important source of comfort and stability to the victims of abuse, particularly children.
But abusive family members may threaten, injure, or kill pets, often as a way of threatening or controlling others in the family.
A 1997 survey of 50 of the largest shelters for battered women in the United States found that 85% of women and 63% of children entering
shelters discussed incidents of pet abuse in the family.
Children who
2
have witnessed domestic violence or who have been the victims of physical or sexual abuse may also become animal
abusers themselves
3
, imitating the violence they have seen or experienced. A study conducted in 1995 noted that 32% of the pet-owning
victims of domestic abuse reported that one or more of their children had hurt or killed a pet. Similarly, a 1983 study noted that children
were reported to be abusive to animals in more than a third of a sample of pet-owning families referred to New Jerseys Division of Youth
and Family Services for suspected child abuse.
It is essential for those who respond to family violence to be alert to this connection. Professionals in domestic violence intervention, law
enforcement, child protection, human and veterinary medicine, education, and animal care and control should get to know their
counterparts in other professions and work together to establish strategies for a coordinated response to these needs.
In fact, professionals who help families in crisis are increasingly recognizing the role that animals play in the dynamics of family violence.
Many law enforcement agencies are training officers who respond to domestic violence calls to be alert for signs that a situation is life-
threatening. These include situations where the batterer has threatened suicide, is displaying a firearm, or has hurt or killed a family pet.
In addition, local domestic violence shelters and animal protection organizations have begun partnering to develop safe havens for the
pets of domestic violence victims because many victims delay leaving the abusive batterer out of fear for their
4
pets safety. All too often,
batterers punish victims for leaving by abusing or killing the pets.Yet
5
, with the help of over 100 safe haven programs currently operating
around the United States, many domestic violence victims no longer have to choose between their safety and their pets.

Charles Dickens is generally considered to be one of the greatest English novelists, and he is one of the few whose works did not become
unpopular after his death. He began with Pickwick (1836-7), which came out in parts and gave English literature some of its most
charming
8
and amusing
4
characters
13
. Mr. Pickwick himself is almost too kind to be true; it is fortunate for him that he meets and employs
the cheerful
3
Sam Weller to keep him out of most of the trouble caused by his own kindness, or to comfort him with words of wisdom when
the trouble has not been avoided (...) None of the members of the Pickwick Club could be described as wise in the ways of the world, but to
go through life without meeting
9
them in Dickenss pages would be a great loss.
Twice Dickens wrote historical novels, Barnaby Rudge (1841) and A Tale of Two Cities (1849), a story of the French Revolution and of
events in London at the same time. Sometimes his novels were written partly with the purpose of improving
6
social conditions. Oliver Twist
(1837-8), the story of a poor boys cruel treatment
2
and miserable adventures, includes descriptions of hunger, stealing
7
, murder and
hanging. A Christmas Carol (1843) is the story of a bad character who improves his behaviour after a ghost tells him the manner of his
death. Hard Times (1854) is set in industrial surroundings, where Gradgrinds children are brought up among hard facts and without any
help for the spirit. The son robs a bank, and the girl makes an unhappy marriage; but luckily the father suddenly understands his own
foolishness
1
.
David Copperfield
(1849-50) is based on Dickenss own life, which had a sad beginning
5
. It is one of the most popular of his novels, but it cannot be called
cheerful. Nicholas Nickleby (1838-9) is the tale of a boy who is left poor on his fathers death. He is sent to work in a school, Dotheboys Hall
[=Do-The-Boys], where the master, Squeers, treats forty miserable pupils cruelly, and teaches them nothing. Nicholas gives the reader a
good deal of pleasure when the gives the criminal Squeers a good beating, and then escapes.
All these novels are crowded with characters, either fully developed or drawn by a few quick but sure strokes of the great writers pen. The
reader of modern English novels or newspapers will not get far without finding
10
mention in a way which supposes that the reader needs
no other explanation of the name of a minor character from one of the books listed above, or reference, for example, to the evil Quilp, the
great-hearted Jarley or honest Kit Nubbles (The Old Curiosity Shop) (...)
In his different novels he describes and attacks many kinds of unpleasant people and places bad schools and schoolmasters,
government departments, bad prisons, dirty houses. His characters include thieves, murderers, men in debt, stupid and unswashed men
and women, hungry children, and those who do their best to deceive the honest. Although many of his scenes are terribly unpleasant, he
usually keeps the worst descriptions out of his books
12
; therefore the reader does not throw the book into the fire, but continues to read.
Some of his gentler characters are very weak; some of the sad situations that he describes are too miserable to be true. He uses too much
black paint
11
. But he wanted to raise kindness and goodness in mens hearts, and he used tears and laughter to reach his aim.

Late in the 18TH century, when Brazil was still a Portuguese colony, the natives were restless

. So they called on Joaquim da Silva Xavier,
a soldier, prospector and sometime dentist (hence his nickname, Tiradentes) to lead a tax revolt. Their grievance

What would Tiradentes say now? More than one of every three reais Brazilians earn goes to local, state and federal governments, an
alphabet soup of levies ICMS, COFFINS, CPMF, numbering 61 in all. There are taxes on top of taxes, nearly doubling the retail price of a
can of beer or a schoolchilds lunchbox. No wonder the symbol for the Brazilian internalrevenue service is the lion. Brazilians work the first

Brazil to Announce Electric Sector Rules
President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva will soon issue a decree providing a much needed regulatory framework for Brazils electric sector, the
countrys mines and energy minister said Tuesday. Dilma Rousseff said Silva would sign the decree by next week. The framework has
been eagerly awaited by electricity companies who have been reluctant to invest in Brazil because of lack of clear rules.
The decree puts expansion (of generating capacity) at its center and creates a market that is extremely competitive, said Rousseff, who
declined to offer further details until the decree is published. She said the framework should allow work to go forward on some 45 stalled
projects for electric generation facilities, which have been held up by environmental concerns or a lack of financing.
In 2002, Brazil had to resort to energy rationing because a lack of rainfall left the countrys hydroelectric dams well below capacity. About
95 percent of Brazils electricity comes from hydroelectric dams. The government of President Fernando Henrique Cardoso responded by
implementing an emergency plan to expand the countrys electrical generation capacity, mainly through thermoelectric plants that do not
depend on rainfall.
But on Tuesday, Rousseff said the emphasis on thermoelectricity was misplaced because it would be hard to find enough gas to run those
plants for the 10 days or so every year when they would be needed. She said Brazils future remained in hydroelectric generation, pointing
out that the country uses only 24 percent of its hydroelectric potential. By comparison, France uses about 94 percent of its hydroelectric
potential and the United States uses over 77 percent, she said.

The worlds only known whale-dolphin mix has given birth to a playful femalecalf, officials at Sea Life Park Hawaii said on Thursday. The
calf was born on Dec. 23 to Kekaimalu, a mix of a false killer whale and an Atlantic bottlenose dolphin.
The young as-yet unnamed wholphin is one-fourth false killer whale and threefourths Atlantic bottlenose dolphin. Her slick skin is an even
blend of a dolphins light gray and the black coloring of a false killer whale. The calf still depends fully on her mothers milk, but sometimes
snatches frozen capelin from the hands of the trainers, then toys with the sardine-like fish. She is jumbo-sized compared to purebred
dolphins, and is already the size of a one-year-old bottlenose.
Mother and calf are doing very well, said Dr. Renato Lenzi, general manager of Sea Life Park by Dolphin Discovery. We are monitoring
them very closely to ensure the best care for them. Although false killer whales and Atlantic bottlenose dolphins are different species, they
are classified within the same family by scientists. They are not that far apart in terms of taxonomy, said Louis Herman, a leading expert
in the study of marine mammals. There have been reports of wholphins in the wild, he said.
Kekaimalu, whose name means from the peaceful ocean, was born 19 years ago after a surprise coupling between a 14-foot, 2,000-
pound false killer whale and a 6-foot, 400-pound dolphin. Kekaimalu has given birth to two other calves. One lived for nine years and the
other, born when Kekaimalu was very young, died a few days after birth. False killer whales do not closely resemble killer whales. They
grow to 20 feet and weigh up to two tons. Atlantic bottlenose dolphins reach a maximum size of 12 feet and can weigh up to 700 pounds.
Sea Life Park officials said they hope to decide on a name for the baby wholphin soon and move her to a large display tank in a few
months.

Swedish scientists touched off an international health scare two years ago when they claimed that common foods such as bread, biscuits,

human carcinogen is formed when carbohydrate-rich foods such as potatoes, cereals and rice are either baked or

Its difficult to imagine the sea ever running out of fish. Its so vast, so deep, so mysterious. But, its not bottomless. Overfishing and
