They also found a breakdown by age: 22-25 year-olds are most likely to smash a car windshield, and women over 50 are more likely to give the silent treatment. • Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton has reinvented herself as a motivational speaker.

They say tens of thousands of young women have most likely been sterilized in secret since 2003, when President Islam Karimov approved the procedure for women undergoing cesarean sections. • A French woman was recently fined for driving while wearing a veil. Traffic police fined the woman $29 in early April, but she is fighting the decision on the grounds that the hijab obscures her vision no more than a motorcycle helmet would. “I didn’t commit any infraction,” she said at a news conference on Friday. “I can see just as well as you… I have driven like this for nine years. I’ve not had any problems.” • Victims of domestic abuse continue to pay significantly higher healthcare costs for three years after the abuse ends, a study has shown. Their average healthcare costs are more than $1,200 above non-abused women for the first two years and about $400 above for the third year.
