Money Management While Studying in GermanySaturday, December 05, 2015
One of the favoured destinations among the many available these days; Germany works out well for those who wish to study abroad and enjoy themselves at the same time. Managing your finances while you are studying overseas seems to be a daunting task. The currency is new besides the financial system and you will also find the pricing systems different from the ones you have in your country. Studying abroad, away from your family might make you feel like an adult but you will need to make an effort to manage your money well. This requires personal restraint to a high level along with persistence and self-awareness. Money management can avoid stressful situations which you might face otherwise.
Plan your Budget
This is one of the first and most important things that you need to do. You should be aware of how much money you have and also for what period of time. Make sure to include everything that you think you might spend on as this can reduce unexpected expenditure. With a totally new currency, it is advisable not to compare the rates in your home town to the ones abroad. Getting used to the exchange rates and local currency will make you comfortable. Understand the standard of the town you are living in and make a rough calculation mentally, this works well initially as there is bound to be confusion otherwise. The key word here is 'prioritizing' your needs and wants. Make sure to pay for your utilities and rent first. This ensures you have some place to go to and you do not end up on the streets. The other expenses can include transportation, meals, health insurance, personal expenses and clothes. Having knowledge of your needs and planning might also help you to save.
Spend like the Locals
You might feel like you are getting ripped off by local merchants. Get familiar with the buy and sell culture in Germany before you decide to go on a shopping spree. This can be termed as an 'effective money management'. You have many supermarkets in Germany where you are offered discounts and sales throughout the year. It might be wise to try these out before you enter a swanky mall for your purchase. You also find thrift shops with articles and clothing at reasonable prices. You have the option of checking with your university for transportations and save on this, too. Think about a prepaid voucher for your phone instead of opting for one of those fancy plans by mobile companies with additional features which are most of the time, not required. This will also help you in keeping track of how much you talk.
Social Activities managed
The quality of your life here will depend on your social activities and other adventures you might undertake, this is keeping the finances in mind. You will be required to deal with a lot of information, random interactions and social activities. It might get difficult to keep a track on your expenses or even anticipate how much is required. Before you get a fair idea of this, it is best to cook and eat at home which might help you save on a little money, and this in turn can be spent on social outings and gatherings. It is better to behave like a miser in the initial few months.
Organising an Additional Income
You should be able to put your savings in a bank and benefit with the interest you get. You also have the option of taking up a part-time job to be more comfortable. It need not be fanciful or even ambitious; it needs to only make you more comfortable so that you can make the best of your study trip here. You can also think of freelancing which can give you enough and more time. After the second year, you have the options of looking for internships in the university itself. Money management can be easy if you plan and then think before spending.

A TRIP to the NSW central coast for a family birthday has ended in death for a teenager who fell six storeys from a hotel balcony.
The 19-year-old from the Blue Mountains was found lying unconscious by the pool at Terrigal's Crowne Plaza about 9.30pm today.
He had serious head and internal injuries and was rushed by ambulance to Gosford Hospital before being flown to Royal North Shore Hospital, where he died.
"They were all up here on the coast to celebrate a member of the family's birthday," Brisbane Water Local Area Command Inspector Steve Kentwell told the ABC.
"This incident obviously has put a big black mark on that.
"I'm not sure if they witnessed it."
NSW Police say they are treating the death as misadventure.

Call me nosy but I find this beneficial. I've researched two guys that I went on a date with and thank God I did.
Guy 1: was really in a committed relationship with his daughter's mother.
Guy 2: didn't find much but a mug shot.
but do you this this wrong? Like an envision of privacy? For example guy number 1 I would have never known he seemed really nice.
Most Helpful Guy
It's always good to research beforehand.
You can still give them a shot might you find negative information, becaus they might regret it or have changed. They could also then have a chance to tell you.
As long as you don't go into the crazy spectrum of asking people to "hack" their social media accounts etc.11|00|0
Oh no just a Facebook search using their number really tells me what I need to know. Guy 1 is def a deal breaker of you are in a relationship or still have some type of thing with your child's mother you shouldn't be dating. Guy 2: that's not a deal breaker.
I can see you think it all through^^ Then I shouldn't be worried about it being wrong if I were you.

|JIRA problem with DIRSTUDIO-551
|Sun, 04 Oct 2009 20:35:05 GMT
Hi, I have created an issue in JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-551 but have entered the wrong data for "Affects Version/s" and "Fix Version/s". Affected should be 1.4.0, Fix should be 1.5.0. Unfortunately, I am not able to edit this JIRA issue. If I try to update the issue and save the changes, I get an exception: Exception occurred: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/atlassian/jira/action/ActionNames I assume, it is a JIRA bug. Can someone of the project administrators try to correct this? I am not able to close the issue with the correct version info :-( Perhaps, someone is able to delete the issue completely. I will raise a new one, it is only for documenting an addition anyway. Thanks in advance, Stefan

How can I change my payment method to PayPal?Asked by newmusiconthebayou on February 15, 2017 at 03:08 PM
I am currently paying by credit card but would like to change to either PayPal or via mail if necessary. Nowhere am I seeing the option to edit my payment method--I only have the ability to change to a different credit card. When I downgrade or upgrade plans, I'm only given a confirmation message; I'm not asked for payment info.
This is a re-post of a comment on How to Upgrade and Pay by Mail/Check/Money Order
JotForm Support
Unfortunately, there is not a way to switch the payment method from Stripe (the current you're using) to PayPal or any other, as you've already noticed you can only switch to a different Credit Card.
I can see you have only changed your subscriptions, but did not cancelled it so I would suggest you to cancel your current subscription and then upgrade to the desired plan, but after your subscription has been completely downgraded, otherwise it will use your current payment method.
Once your account is set to free you should be able to see the pop-up with the payment methods available, make sure you're upgrading with non-profit discount since it has been approved for your account.

Pakistani girl shot by Taliban appears on video
By SYLVIA HUI
Associated Press
LONDON — In her first video statement since she was nearly killed, a Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban remained defiant in arguing for girls' education, saying Monday she would keep up the same campaign that led to her attack.
Speaking clearly but with the left side of her face appearing rigid, 15-year-old Malala Yousufzai said she is "getting better, day by day" after undergoing weeks of treatment at a British hospital.
"I want to serve. I want to serve the people. I want every girl, every child, to be educated. For that reason, we have organized the Malala Fund," she said in the video, made available by a public relations firm.
Malala drew the world's attention when she was shot in the head by Taliban militants on Oct. 9 while on her way home from school in northwestern Pakistan. The Islamist group said it targeted her because she promoted girls' education and "Western thinking" and criticized the militant group's behavior when it took over the scenic Swat Valley where she lived.
The shooting sparked outrage in Pakistan and many other countries, and her story has captured global attention for the struggle for women's rights in her homeland. In a sign of her impact, the teen made the shortlist for Time magazine's "Person of the Year" for 2012.
"Today you can see that I am alive. I can speak, I can see you, I can see everyone," Malala said. "It's just because of the prayers of people. Because all people — men, women, children — all of them have prayed for me. And because of all these prayers God has given me this new life . a second life."
Malala was airlifted to Britain from Pakistan in October to receive specialized medical care and protection against further Taliban threats. She is expected to remain in the U.K. for some time as her father, Ziauddin, has secured a post with the Pakistani consulate in the English city of Birmingham.
Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, which has been treating the teen, said it successfully operated to reconstruct her skull. Doctors said Malala also had a cochlear implant to restore the hearing in her left ear, which became deaf as a result of the shooting.
Both of those operations were completed Saturday. The public relations firm Edelman said Malala's video statement was shot earlier, on Jan. 22.
Dr. Anwen White, a neurosurgeon who led the operations, said the teen did not suffer any long-lasting cognitive damage. She does not require any further operations and can hopefully return to school soon, White said.
The Malala Fund is a girls' education charity set up in late 2012 by international nonprofit Vital Voices.

NEW YORK (CBS) Skins, the controversial new series on MTV featuring scantily-clad teens engaging in adult behavior, has reportedly lost a third major sponsor, Wrigley.
Wrigley, a subsidiary of Mars, Inc., had aired commercials for its Extra and Orbit chewing gums during the premiere episode that drew 3.3 million viewers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
But as controversy surrounding the show has grown - the Parents Television Councilhas called for a federal investigation into the program - Wrigley became the most recent sponsor to pull its ads from "Skins."
"Wrigley has decided to suspend any advertising during MTV's Skins as it was never our intent to endorse content that could offend consumers. Any ads that previously aired during the show were part of a broader advertising plan with the network," the brand said in a statement released to The Hollywood Reporter.
Both Taco Bell and GM started the trend last week when they reportedly decided pulled their advertising from the program.
The New York Times previously reported that MTV executives were concerned that an upcoming episode might violate federal child pornography statutes, and the Parents Television Council blasted MTV for marketing the show to a teenage audience and declared, "'Skins' may very well be the most dangerous television show for children that we have ever seen."
MTV responded to criticism in a statement and and claims that they are in compliance with "laws and community standards" and that they have "taken numerous steps to alert viewers to the strong subject matter so that they can choose for themselves whether it is appropriate."

'Dancing With the Stars': Who Was Voted Off?
Jack Wagner said at the start of Tuesday's "Dancing with the Stars" results show that he wasn't nervous. His partner, Anna Trebunskaya, laughed and said she was. Perhaps Jack should've shared her nerves – he and Anna were the second couple eliminated this season.
When only five points separate the top from the bottom, fan bases become crucial in determining who goes home. Host Tom Bergeron noted it was a rare five-way tie at the bottom, at 24. Jack and Anna had their best dance of the season with a joyful samba related to his recently discovered daughter, but they were the first couple to perform Monday and couldn't break out of the pack.

Increasingly Calloused Society
by: Katie King
How can one(you/we) change a calloused society?
Calloused- Insensitive, indifferent, unsympathetic. ¨They have a calloused attitude toward the sufferings of others.¨ Insensitive to the needs of the 'peasants'.¨ Without interest or concern for others, no feeling, or sympathy for others. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/calloused?s=t
It compares with Fahrenheit 451 the most.
(1.) When Mildred talks about running over small animals without even caring. (2.) When Mildred doesn't even consider Montags feelings about Clarisse dying and saying that it was no big deal. (3.) When the firemen gather around making bets on the hound killing animals. (4.) When the city kills an innocent man because they couldn't find Montag.
¨There is an epidemic of rudeness in our society, I am not sure if we are going to be able to return to a kinder gentler society, but certainly it is going to be necessary if the quality of our lives are ever going to improve.¨ -unknown http://www.sonomapsychologist.com/pdf/Rudeness-in-Modern-Society.pdf
"How can we change our rude society? Well, it may hurt to admit it, but the problem starts with adults. Kids are only mimicking what they see around them, and adults are worse than ever in their treatment of each other. It takes a bit of old-fashioned self control and a bit of a change in our way of thinking. Just because that guy cut you off one time in traffic doesn't mean he's a complete jerk all the time. Get upset at the behavior or the words instead of at the person. Use a simple rule- if you wouldn't say it directly to someone's face, don't say it online. It's a free country, and you have the right to your opinions. Just be polite when voicing them. Show the next generation what civility and common courtesy look like. If we are to change the trend of rude behavior in our society, we must each start with ourselves." - Ruth Meyer. http://truthnotes.net/2014/04/08/why-we-have-become-a-blatantly-rude-society-and-how-we-can-change-that-2/
¨Nowadays when people choose to be rude – people do have a choice and can control how they conduct themselves around others – they pretty much go for broke(to risk everything in order to achieve the result you want). We aren't a society built on rudeness, we only notice the rude people out of the good people because we are used to seeing politeness and kindness that we pick out the rudeness."- Tanveer Naseer http://www.tanveernaseer.com/is-our-society-becoming-more-rude/
Do you think our society is rude? How can we change that?

Chip patent suit dropped, with apology
A Tierra Verde inventor will share in sales profits.
When a powerful competitor accused him of selling counterfeit printer-cartridge chips in 2004, Steven Miller flatly denied it. He blamed the predicament on false testimony by ex-employees.Turns out the Tierra Verde inventor was on to something.Three-plus years after Miller was sued for patent infringement, the case has been dropped. Ed Swartz, CEO of Static Control Components of Sanford, N.C., issued a public apology. "If we had known the whole story, then this dispute would have settled a long time ago," he said in a news release. "Mr. Miller is a hard-working, bright young man, and I look forward to working with him."
Vindication isn't the only reward for Miller, a 46-year-old auto repair shop owner who also designs parts for private-label ink and toner cartridges. A cross-licensing agreement he reached with Static Control – which bills itself as the world's largest distributor of toner-cartridge components – will guard against future patent litigation between the two parties. It also could earn Miller millions of dollars in royalties, he said in an interview Monday."We're happy with the settlement," Static Control general counsel Skip London said Monday. "We've reached a resolution that we think is good for our company and good for Steve's company."Originally filed in North Carolina, Static Control's lawsuit was chock full of oddities. It accused Miller and business associate Robert Rauber of buying Static's chips, hiring a Russian engineer to extract the software code, manufacturing counterfeit copies, and distributing them through a firm fronted by David P. Abraham, a homeless ex-convict from St. Petersburg.There was one kernel of truth to the allegations, Miller said: Abraham, a former employee of his Pinellas Park auto repair shop, was indeed homeless and in trouble with the law. So Miller – who said he himself lived in a car as a teen – offered Abraham the chance to turn his life around by becoming a distributor of Miller's patented printer-cartridge technologies. "He's gone from being a menace to society to being a businessperson and a homeowner," Miller said.

INDEPENDENTS REPORT: State of the unions
Shrinking labor unions are increasingly adopting a powerful strategy from which small retailers must learn to protect themselves.
With their membership having plummeted over the past decade, labor unions are intensifying their organizing efforts. Lacking the people and funding needed to wage major campaigns against big companies like Wal-Mart, unions are targeting small businesses, which may be most vulnerable to the effects of the unions' most powerful weapon, the corporate campaign.
According to attorney Glenn Olcerst, a nationally known labor specialist and partner at Pittsburgh-based Marcus & Shapira, a corporate campaign often takes place after a labor union has been unsuccessful at employing traditional methods of organizing workers. The union's goal is to get the company to capitulate to certain organizing demands, or to close down the business. Strategies include depleting a company's assets, draining personnel, and weakening corporate goodwill with customers, suppliers, and financial supporters.
The union's campaign tactics include the following:
-Community and grassroots outreach: The union seeks support from other unions, community organizations, schools, religious groups, local news media, local elected officials, women's and senior citizens groups, etc.
-Boycotts and interference with financing: The union launches a consumer boycott of the bank providing financing to the target company, by withdrawing funds and imploring its members to do the same.
-Proxy fights: "When possible, the union will purchase shares of a company's stock and can begin proxy battles. If the company is privately held, the union may buy shares of stock in companies that supply products to the company," Olcerst says. "Stock-based attacks are also used to scare off investors."
-Legislative and administrative agency actions: According to Olcerst, phone banks and letter-writing campaigns are often used to involve legislators. "State and federal agencies, such as OSHA, the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the local health department, and others, are also contacted by the unions in an effort to disrupt the target's business," he says. "Legal attacks regarding safety and compliance issues, which are often unfounded, are used as leverage to create the impression of an unsafe workplace."
-Instituting a work-to-rule strategy whereby employees do exactly what they're required to do, and no more: "It's in effect a work slowdown," Olcerst says. "The union may encourage its supporters to take sick days and personal days on a mass basis, which puts pressure on the company and distracts management from running the store."
-Personal attacks: "Disparaging handbills can be distributed throughout a community about how the company executives have 'wronged the union,'" Olcerst notes. "Unions wish to portray the employer as the enemy and create feelings of mistrust among workers."
"All these tactics are used by the union in a last-resort attempt to erode the target's business as much as possible," Olcerst observes. "That's not to say that the unions don't still engage in traditional forms of boycotts involving handbilling and picketing. But corporate campaigns, simply because they're so insidious, can create economic hardships which have a stunningly deleterious effect on a company.
"In the end, unions will choose to attack those that are easier to organize and those that are unprepared," Olcerst says. "The union is a business, and it often takes the path of least resistance, which will allow it to grow its membership with the smallest investment in the least amount of time."
He concludes: "Labor law, and responding to an organizing drive especially, is analogous to a multilevel game of chess. You must understand and anticipate the full range of tactics in the union's arsenal and never underestimate your adversary. It's essential for grocery store owners to go all out to defeat a union organizing drive. That's the only way to get the unions to turn their collective energies toward Wal-Mart and leave the small grocery store owner alone."
Editor's note
Based on my family's experience of operating nonunion grocery stores for over 32 years and responding to organizing drives, I believe that the best investment a company can make is to partner with a traditional labor attorney who specializes in and regularly responds to union organizing drives. This should be viewed not as a cost, but as an investment in the company's future.
Studies indicate that where employees choose to be represented by a union, the value of a business drops more than 20 percent over its life.

It's time to break out the lunch boxes, and get ready to send the kids back to school. Summer was a blast, but now it's time to get organized, as the first day back to class is just around the corner. One of the best ways to prepare for sending kids back to school is to get all of their needed school supplies organized at home before school starts.
Organize Closets
With young children, they outgrow their shoes and clothing at a fast rate. A couple of weeks before school begins, it's a good idea to go through their closets and dresser drawers, removing clothing that has become too small for them to wear in the upcoming season. These articles should be organized and packed away. Once packed, label the boxes with the child's name and the clothing or shoe sizes. This way, you'll know what's in the boxes when you go looking for them later. Clothing can be saved to pass onto a younger sibling or family member, or can be donated to a local charity, if you no longer need them.
Make a Shopping List
If you need to buy new clothing, shoes or accessories for your child before school starts, make a list of what is needed. It's also best to plan out which stores you want to go to if you'll be shopping in store, and to take the child shopping with you, so you can have them try clothing on before purchasing.
Shop Online
With many parents being so busy these days, it can be hard to find the time to plan a shopping trip. Shopping online is convenient, and many online stores offer simple returns (online or in-store). You may be skeptical about online shopping, but the process is an easy one, and can save you time and money. If you want to have your child's opinion about the clothes you'll be buying for them, have them sit at the computer with you while you browse clothing online, and make notes of their favorite items. Include a few of their favorites with some of your own, and then everyone will be happy.
Choose Layers for Seasonal Transitions
When shopping for back to school clothing, the weather could still be quite warm, or may be close to cooling off for the fall season. Select pieces that can easily be layered, and keep your child comfortable throughout the day as the temperatures change.
Stripes on Deck Boys Outfit from Janie and Jack
For boys, a nice ensemble might consist of a pair of shorts, a button-up shirt, pullover sweater, and a puffy vest. Add a casual pair of boat shoes to complete the look. Other ideas include flat front pants with polo shirts, or even shorts with rugby shirts. These outfits are easy to mix and match throughout the year.
For girls, it's natural to want to dress them up, but it's a good idea to stick with clothing that they will be comfortable in during the day. Save the dressing up for special occasions, and go with casual pairings, like leggings and tops or tunics, cardigan sweaters with blouses and skirts, or pants with tops or sweaters. A casual shoe style like a Mary Jane will go with just about any ensemble, and will be durable for the classroom and the playground.
Organize New Clothing
Once you have the new clothing and accessories in your child's room, be sure to organize it. Hang shirts, pants and skirts or dresses, and store other items that can be folded in dresser drawers or labeled bins (for younger children). Organize shoes, socks, and accessories like hair bows or headbands.
Lay Them out the Night Before
Lay out outfits the night before they are to be worn. This way, the morning will go seamlessly before you have to leave the house to head to school. There won't be any whining about outfits if you involve your child in helping to pick them out the night before. A happy and easy start to the day will be better for everyone!

The duo accepted CNN's offer to hold the debate in the run-up to the April 19 primary, the network said Monday.
The announcement ended days of acrimonious negotiations, with both sides accusing each other of playing games with the proposed forum. Sanders's campaign said it agreed to move a major New York City rally scheduled for April 14 to the night before so Sanders could attend the debate.
Trailing in the race for the Democratic nomination for the White House, Sanders has been pushing for a debate in New York, where he lags in opinion polls.
"We are glad that she finally has agreed," said Michael Briggs, Sanders's spokesman.
"Sanders all along has pressed for a debate on television in prime time so the greatest number of New Yorkers and Americans may listen to the candidates and decide for themselves who has the best ideas about how to reform our rigged economy and the corrupt campaign finance system."
Sanders, a self-described democratic socialist originally from Brooklyn, is hanging on in the race for the party ticket and has recently enjoyed a string of primary successes.
Clinton, a former New York senator, holds a significant lead over Sanders among delegates, but the Vermont senator is hoping a win in Tuesday's primary in Wisconsin will build more momentum against Clinton in her adopted home state.
He will need to replicate that in the remaining states with the three largest delegate allocations — California, New York and Pennsylvania — if he is to stand any hope of beating the former secretary of state to the party nomination.
Democrats have held eight previous debates. This will be the first since March 9 in Miami.

Paracetamol use in pregnancy is not safe
Health tips – Researchers have suggested that paracetamol use in pregnancy affect neurodevelopment and cause behavioral dysfunction in tots.
The authors studied 64,322 children and mothers in the Danish National Birth Cohort (1996-2002). Parents reported behavioral problems on a questionnaire, and HKD diagnoses and ADHD medication prescriptions were collected from Danish registries.
More than half of the mothers reported using acetaminophen while pregnant.
The use of acetaminophen during pregnancy appeared to be associated with a higher risk of HKD diagnosis, of using ADHD medications or of having ADHD-like behaviors at age 7 years. The risk increased when mothers used acetaminophen in more than one trimester during pregnancy.
The new study has been published in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.

i'm not sure where this thread has gone but as to the original question I say, again, "no" because pain relief is not a right, it's an entitlement provided under some circumstances. Rights and entitlements are not the same thing. Receiving social security payments upon retirement is an entitlement, not a right, as is public education.
I don't understand why you're assuming that the person doing the exam is rough? Why can't the person who is doing it be gentle? My doctor certainly doesn't do VE's roughly...
I'm certainly not judging anyone for taking an epi. I'm not being even slightly snarky when I say it takes a far braver woman than I am to take a needle in the spine. I've had to psych myself through the roof for it with my 3 non-emergency sections, and would have much preferred to be knocked out, even if it did increase the risk to me. I actually think I'd have given up being able to see my baby right away in order to avoid that needle. Epis and spinals terrify me.

Loving my amazing dh, James & forever missing Aaron Ambrose (11/07)
I wanted a natural childbirth but once some interventions were thrown at me I opted to get the epidrual for fear that i'd become so exhausted i'd be forced into a c-section (and it was close...I was told several times during pushing that if i didn't hurry up a c-section would be inevitable)
Just sayin'.
(It gave me a massive migraine).
I believe that rights, in their truest sense, are not things that others must provide for us. They are just things we can freely chose to do or not to do - speak our minds, worship as we choose, own a gun to protect ourselves, live without fear of the government invading our homes without cause. Sometimes these rights must be protected, but never provided.
I think the concept of rights gets really sketchy when we start saying that we have a right to something that someone else has to provide us.
In some cases, such as a right to a trial by jury, I consider this a right to live without people accusing you unjustly and having to prove that you did commit a crime rather than you having to prove your innocence, IYKWIM.
I think it comes down to defining the word "right". I think there are people on this thread who think of it as I do, as an inherent thing. Whereas there are people to seem to think more on the lines of what it means in our current society. It all boils down to the definition of the word, IMO.
So no, I do not believe it is a basic human right to have a pain free childbirth (or be offered pain medication etc), however I do believe it is the right of every woman to make those choices. I am so glad that we live in a place where the choice is available to most women and only wish that the knowledge was given as freely so women could have more power in those choices - whatever they may be.
My pregnancy and birth experience made it difficult for me to understand why any woman would want to risk a homebirth, or "worse", UC. It took some time for me to understand that my pregnancy/birth experience was not the same as everybody else's - I can only make choices for myself based on my own experiences, but cannot and should not project my situation and/or impose those choices on others. We don't, in fact, walk in each other's shoes and cannot fairly judge another's situation or make decisions about what medical options should or should not be available. Yes, there are many places where (or times when) these options are not available - the answer is not to take the options away where they exist but to make them more readily available where/when they do not, together with genuine informed consent. This goes equally for homebirths, UC, waterbirth, med-free birth, as well as medicated birth.
Apparently doing it rong and ruining it for everyone, but I don't give a crap anymore.
If a woman chooses to give birth in a hospital she is presented with a patient bill of rights upon her arrival - adequate pain relief is listed as one of every patients rights. Your statement is accurate for those women who choose homebirth or, in some cicumstance, birth centers but not hospitals.
I am not comfortable with epidural being cited the whole time as the only way to get a pain free labour. Proper support HAS been shown to significantly reduce pain for many women (and that is not a criticism of partners, doula's or labour support - sometimes epidurals ARE required no matter how much support a woman has) but of a medical system when you might or might not know your nurse or ob, and where they might or might not be in the room for much of your labour depending on what time of day it is and how many other women there are labouring. If a woman wants to have as little pain as possible WITHOUT an epidural (for whatever reason) she should have access to that proper support. I dislike the anaesthesia being made into a "right" by the hospital, because it basically amounts, in this country anyway, to women being offered drugs as soon as they are in enough discomfort that they need more input than a nurse or MW popping into the room every 40mins. Epidurals in many hospitals in the UK are used as a blunt instrument to fix staffing problems - not enough midwives to stay one on one with a woman who clearly needs that level of support during her labour? Give her an epidural and strap on the electronic nurse. Even when you state on your birth plan you REALLY don't want to have drugs (even for one woman i know due to an ALLERGY to a whole host of the drugs on offer) they are often offered as soon as you start to vocalise any discomfort during contractions.
Obviously this isn't the case in every labour in every hospital in every country. But for a large proportion of women i do think drugs are offered or even pushed by staff who simply don't have the time and resources to do anything more individualised/useful for the woman.
I think the danger of telling women that pain relief is their "right" is that many will interpret that as meaning they NEED to have it and they MUST have it. When i was a kid we lived in a house with no mains or well water - we drank burn water off the hill. It was fresh, uncontaminated and tasty. So many people i have told act like i was living in 3rd-world style poverty when i said that, because the "right" to mains water being so widespread and so over-cited as a critically necessary thing for "civilisation" means that they are all terrified of non-mains water. When actually a good bit of the water one finds running wild in Scotland (especially the highlands and islands) is perfectly safe to drink as it is.
So perhaps it's more useful to think women should have the right to medical assistance WHEN NEEDED during labour, including pain relieving drugs if necessary. But that the pain relieving drugs in and of themselves should not be isolated, since i think enough (childless) women already believe that labour is unbearable without epidurals, which is only the case for SOME women during SOME labours. And to respond to what a few others have said, yes, i think epidurals used to allow women in long labours to rest so they can go on and have the vaginal birth they wanted are very much medically indicated and one of the wonderful aspects of the existence of such procedures.
The access to pain relief in labour is something which i both hope not to need and am very grateful for the existence of.
You know, I think there are two separate issues that are getting conflated in this thread. The first is, should people be entitled to (or provided with) health care services in accordance with a generally accepted "standard of care," either because people have a fundamental right to health care services or because society decides that the services should be offered. In this context, I think pregnancy and chidlbirth should be treated in the same manner as any other health condition.
For me it comes down to the question does any human have the right to pain relief for painful conditions, and it doesn't seem like we do. Clearly human compassion and standards of medical care dictate a certain level of alleviation of suffering, but certainly there are many situations where we can't do much for pain. My father suffered a lot of pain in the last years of his life and his pain medication was a controlled substance, so he couldn't get all that he thought would help him. He also had to undergo certain medical procedures without anesthesia because his breathing was compromised enough where the doctors wouldn't anesthetize him. I think his rights in this situation were his ability to agree to or deny having the procedure.
When I suffered a ruptured disc in my back, I couldn't get up off the floor because the pain was so bad. My husband called the paramedics who got me up, and I ended up going to the ER via ambulance and I wondered what they could even do for me. They assessed me and gave me some pain medication but then told me that was all they could do for me, they would not admit me to the hospital unless it got to the point where I was having fecal incontinence from nerve damage. The prescription I got for pain medication was for a very limited amount. So even in a situation where I have access to paramedics, hospitals, healthcare workers and pain medication, there are still limits to what you can demand and receive in terms of pain relief. I was happy they gave me some pain medication, and I feel like healthcare is a service I pay for so I do have a legal right to the standard of care for which I am paying, but I was always aware that they could just have sent me home without doing anything for me other than testing.
in regards to current obstetrical practices, I think women do have certain legal rights that end up being taken away from them under the guise of medical standards. I think ultimately a woman's right to pain relief should mean that other people can't stop her from doing things to help cope with the pain, and yet it seems these things do happen, sometimes deliberately. On a philosophical level, I feel like a woman's autonomy to do things with her body during labor is more of an inalienable right, but the access to an epidural is provided as a for pay medical service and I wouldn't say that it is necessarily a legal right. It's more of an issue when a standard of care is denied to groups of people in a discriminatory fashion that I think the question has meaning.
This reminds me of a story with my mom. My mother started having babies in the 40s, and her first 3 were twilight sleep. Her 4th child was born in Hawaii in 1955 and she had no idea when she went into it that she would get nothing but oxygen. When the doctor put the mask over her face, she thought she was getting knocked out, but that didn't happen. The doctor said he didn't believe in using pain medications during birth, and she ended up having a baby naturally (other than an oxygen mask, I guess). So he had the right to practice medicine as he saw fit and he didn't think the rendering a woman unconscious was a good practice. My mom was expecting it, though, so it was rather a shock to her, but I don't think her legal rights were violated.
And of course the standard of care - including on-demand c-sections and epidurals - drastically increases the cost of maternity care. I'm not sure how much this increases the overall cost of health care. There is a reason that we were able to pay in cash for a midwife assisted home birth on an income that was very near the poverty line but would never have been able to afford out of pocket a hospital birth complete with an epidural (heaven forbid a c-section) and prenatal care with multiple blood tests and ultrasounds. There is a reason that my in laws were able to pay cash for all four of their hospital births in the late 70s and early 80s despite the fact that they were below the poverty line.
Part of the reason is astronomical malpractice costs, but a big part of it is that unnecessary, recently-available options have become the standard of care while outcomes for mothers and babies have become poorer or stayed the same.

Where is this so called painless childbirth? I had a section with my DS due to cord entanglement. I did not have any contractions. The IV (all 6 attempts) hurt, the spinal hurt (and the side effects of itching were awful). There was also a heck of a lot of pain afterward. Yes, I chose to have a medical intervention to protect my son's life, yes I was medicated, yes I still felt pain.
that being said, I also think women have the right to their preference in a childbirth experience. I would never try to take away someone's right to HBAC. But I also recognize that not all women are low risk, educated on HB, or have a good enough support system to do that.
I don't mean to imply it's not a two way street (or that other people haven't had a different experience), because you're certainly right. But just from personal experience, I've gotten it a lot more from the NCB side than the main stream side. I really never had any ms people talk down to me the way I've had NCB do, even when planning a HBAC. I fully admit I'm biased and unfair because of personal experience. But, YMMV.
And, before you point out that the NCB community wouldn't have a leg to stand on, because c-sections are considered safe and prudent and all that, I'll point out that they could lie. The anonymous mainstreamer did.
Honestly, the only difference between the arrogant Monday morning quarterbacking by the mainstream community and the NCB community is the the NCB community tends to root their arrogant judgment of other women's decisions in something with a little more teeth than, "but my doctor said". Fortunately, there are plenty of women on both sides of this who don't do it at all.

I am not comfortable with epidural being cited the whole time as the only way to get a pain free labour.
I strongly believe some women need the epi. I don't believe that it's the best option for the all of the huge number of women who get it.

I strongly believe some women need the epi. I don't believe that it's the best option for the all of the huge number of women who get it.
Even women who are commited to train for pain management sometimes need an epidural. Those who don't, I would say that most of the time they have no chance of being able to handle the pain. And generally an epidural is safer and more effective than other medical forms of pain relief.

"Pain-free"? No. That is simply impossible! They won't admit you into the hospital as a patient in labor until you are having ctrx, so those first few ctrx may be painful. So, it's not realistic to expect to never feel any pain!
Second in response to what I highlighted above... considering that you can find care providers who will do elective inductions or cesareans before the start of labour and you can get an epidural placed before the induction gets started having a painfree birth (assuming the epidural works) is possible for both vaginal and cesarean births... in theory at least (like I said, assuming it works).
Do I think people have the right to pain medication if they ask for it. Yes. A thousand times yes. I don't think it's wrong or that women who choose it are in any way weaker than those who don't.
I think women need to be able to be the ultimate decision makers in childbirth. From UC to elective cesarean, the whole range should be open for them to choose from.
FWIW that is coming from a student midwife, and two time homebirth planning, UC comfortable, hospital birther because of twice being induced. The first time with an epidural after a dysfunctional labour and threatened cesarean (I wanted neither a cesarean OR the epidural I got instead) and the second time unmedicated with the exception of pitocin turned up past the maximum dosage. The second time noone could believe I didn't get an epidural. I had every reason to. And I didn't want it, and I didn't get it, and I'm glad.
But I don't judge anyone who chooses differently in that situation. When I hear people say that you "can't" birth without an epidural when you have pitocin I understand why even though for me it wasn't true...

ETA: I live in Canada. So personal cost to me is the same whether I have a UC or whether I have an emergency cesarean under general anesthesia after labouring in the hospital for two days and getting pitocin and multiple types of pain medication. I understand that isn't the case in the US. But that doesn't mean that those who can't afford something they need while they are birthing shouldn't have access to it. Understanding it's the reality doesn't IMO make it right.
Mama to Toad (08/06), Frog (01/09)... and new baby Newt born on his due date, Sep. 8, 2010
But my take on it is "right" I think is the wrong word. However I believe if a woman wants to have an epi or whatnot then she should be able to. I don't think anything in the childbirth will be without total pain short of being knocked out totally but then there is pain afterwards.
Yes since the beginning of time woman have birthed without pain but technology and times have evolved. So for me as a person with low pain tolerance and a person who can not use meditation or other things to block out pain then you bet I want that epi. I believe if a woman wants to have a natural birth more power to her but that does not make her superior to anybody else.
No one not even doctors ect can tell me or anybody else just how bad something hurts ect. Some can say its a 5 and for me it will be a 10 both of us are right.
If a woman is not willing to go through training for pain management during labor (lamaze, bradley, what-have-you), and/or doesn't have a support system, I really think that the epidural IS the best option for her.
For all that...I laboured, with really bad back labour, for about 8 hours before I even woke up my ex. I had a support system later - for all I cared - but I did the first part completely alone, without training. Does that mean that "I did it, so anyone can?". Not at all...but the epi absolutely would not have been the best option for me, and I sure didn't need any "helpful" hospital staff pushing one at me, under the guise of my "right" not to feel pain.
What about my right not to have a needle stuck in my spine? IMO, there is nothing wrong with getting the epi, if the pain is that bad. There is something wrong with a culture that teaches us from the get go that we have to have it, because there's no way we can handle the pain without it. There's something wrong with a culture that yammers about the "right" to an epidural, without talking about any of the potential downsides ("yes, ma'am, here's your epi, you poor thing - oops - sorry about that six month backache, but you had the right to be pain-free...when we didn't want to listen to you"). Talking up the "right" to an epidural makes an epidural sound like an unmitigated blessing. I've personally never had one, so I can't say one way or the other...but if it's anything like a spinal...YUCK!

The same can be said for epidurals. There are a myriad of physical and psychological reasons they are necessary. They aren't for every woman but you can't possibly know if they are or not.
C-sections should not just be for the economically privileged, hospital births should not just be for the economically privileged, home births should not just be for the economically privileged, and epidurals should not just be for the economically privileged.
Again just because that is the reality for some now doesn't make it right...

As is the comment about the baby's right to be born under the "best possible" circumstances trumping the mother's right to pain relief. Maybe the "best possible" circumstances include having a mother able to care for her child and not experiencing severe PPD and PTSD every time she thinks of her child's birth. Of course not every childbirth experience goes this way, but some do.
And I'm not even going to get into the idea that someone who is a sexual abuse survivor might be denied pain relief because she couldn't afford it or someone else decided it wasn't in the best interests of her baby. The only person making that decision should be the woman birthing the baby.

Most biology textbooks at the high school and college level discuss this.
I'd just love to hear what MDC mamas think of this.
My reaction is no, it's not a "right." but just mulling it over in my head and thought it'd be great to hear what other mamas think ...
For me, this turned out ok. I was scared, and it was very hard, but I did it. I had a 9lb.4oz. baby unmedicated, but with a little episiotomy.
For *me* this was awesome. Because I, thankfully, got the rush. I did not suffer PTSD from it. Instead I glorified in it, and have happily had three more unmedicated births.
But change the roles. If one of my girls were in my shoes - 18, scared an in intense pain? Begging for help the way that I did? Don't you *dare* tell me they do not have a RIGHT to pain relief. I'll tear you a new one.
Every woman should have a right to have a good birth experience. For some, that means the right to pain relief.
Of course, in a perfect world, I would rather all women had access to free education for holistic pain management. But that's just another Utopian pipe dream of mine...
|Removed quoted post
We've already covered that there is no real way to distinguish between those who "need" an epidural and those who "want" one. How do you distinguish that? A person who is terrified of giving birth with pain to the point of psychological trauma for months after the birth I'd argue needs access to safe pain relieving medication, of which an epidural seems to be the most effective. Do you say no since she has no "medical" reason? What if that same woman is a sexual assault survivor? What if she cannot disclose that because the person abusing her is her husband who comes to every appointment with her.
You can't know. Noone can know with 100% accuracy. I want homebirths, I advocate for homebirths and natural childbirth, I am a student midwife and I do labour support now. That doesn't mean I don't understand that these are not in any way shape or form the best or right choices for every situation.

I'm asking this mainly because I'm a serious minded person and sometimes struggle to see the funny side of things.
Anyways there's this guy I know (Ross) who used to have a thing for me like a year ago. We've been talking again a little lately and he's always really nice to me. However he went out on Easter Sunday and ended up getting really drunk.
He left his phone lying and one of his drunk friends picked it up and sent me a message saying 'Invigorate my rotund hairy arsehole, f**king chipmunk' which I took pretty offensively and replied to in a shocked/annoyed manner. Ross messaged me the next day apologising and assured me his friend sent the message, not him.
However I heard today that he actually screenshot yes my reply and posted the rude message along with my shocked reply on Twitter. He entitled it 'I'm glad my social circle includes the sort of adult capable of the likes of this...' and it ended up a lot of people retweeted/favourited it.
I'm really not impressed that he's publicly posted this and I'm feeling quite embarrassed because I had such a bad reaction to it. I just don't know if I'm overreacting though?
I'm guessing he must not like me anymore if he's behaving like this.
Most Helpful Guy
You're not overreacting. I honestly think publicly posting it on a social media site was the first draw, if he didn't message you that then why would he screenshot it? Certainly he wouldn't screenshot what a friend messaged you and your reply (unless he's fucking stupid). And to post it on a social media site so people from all over the world could see it? I guess "keep it between us" is out of the question. The second draw was when he was bashing you not in a playful way but in a literal way. But only you know him personally and how he acts like so I wouldn't know. He was drunk and had the "I don't give a fuck attitude." and wanted to put you in your place by belittling you or something. He doesn't like you like that or he thinks being a jerk and thinking that this is somehow "funny" shows that he likes you. The way you reacted to it reassured his beliefs has a man thinking that he's superior and that you're inferior. I'm pretty open minded and I don't get butt hurt over a lot of things but there are times where people cross the line and I honestly think he's crossed that line.11|00|0
I'm not entirely sure what you're going on about here to be perfectly honest...
Maybe I'm wrong and misinterpreted but this is what I got from what you said. You said that it wasn't him that texted you, that it was his friend. But after all of that, why would he screenshot something that isn't his conversation? Or maybe why would he screenshot the conversation and show it to everybody? It didn't make any sense as to why he would post it. To show it to his social circle while putting you on blast? Nonetheless, he doesn't seem like a good guy for doing that. He really doesn't give a shit about you if he's acting like that. He said he used to like you but not anymore. He's changed. I think he was acting that way because he was drunk (being drunk they tell you the truth) and he wanted some sort of revenge on you for not liking him back during that time or whatever.

Use painted sheet metal to provide flare to your home decor. Turning sheet metal to a bronze color is a fairly simple task to complete for those with painting experience. Many paint manufacturers sell paints that provide metallic appearances. Benjamin Moore, for instance, sells a metallic glaze in bronze. Pick a color and get to work. Create a back splash for your kitchen sink or change the appearance of your heating ducts. Using the technique provides many options for customized decorative effects in your home.
Things You'll Need
- Sandpaper or steel wool
- Paintbrush or roller
- Primer
- White vinegar
- Bronze-colored paint
Use a high-grit sandpaper or steel wool to roughen the surface of the sheet metal you plan to paint. This will allow the primer and paint to adhere. Use white vinegar to clean the surface when sanding is completed.
Prime the surface with a galvanized metal primer. Galvanized metal primers are available from companies like Rust-Oleum and Valspar at many home improvement stores. Follow instructions provided by the primer's manufacturer to determine drying time.
Clean the surface with white vinegar once drying is complete. Dilute the vinegar slightly with water to preserve the newly primed surface.
Paint the sheet metal. Experiment with different types of strokes and different sized brushes to achieve textured effects. Use a roller if you'd prefer to finish the task quickly and achieve a smooth finish. Provide at least one additional coat once the paint has dried.

Unique scenery you won't find many other places. Amazing sunrises and sunsets. Incredible reflection photography shots.
Rarely will you ever see another person at the underrated Stansbury Island, the second largest island within the Great Salt Lake in Utah - even though a dirt causeway connects it to land, it is still considered an island. The lack of crowds make this a very chill place to camp out, shoot photos, and enjoy the sunrise or sunset. Just about an hour drive from Downtown Salt Lake City, you will find Stansbury Island and its many lakes. The lack of crowds also includes a lack of rangers or maintenance so the place is pretty rugged - as always, be careful and stay safe.
There are no official campgrounds at Stansbury Island but you'll see several camper-made fire pits around. The majority of the land is BLM owned, which means camping is allowed virtually anywhere. There are small plots of private property so keep an eye out for signs and be sure to be respectful of these land owners and not camp on their property. During the winter months it gets very chilly and windy here so bring good, warm gear!

Beautiful Solitude!
Had a great time boondocking and exploring the area. We only saw one other camping group there and had plenty of space to ourselves. Climbed a little peak (~6,000') next to the road for great views of the salt flats and lake. Definitely drive to the end of the island to the viewpoint, where there are pink salt flats! Whoever said this is a "gay nudist swinger" hangout must be a very judgmental and lonely person. We didn't see any nudists 😂 but even if we did I'm sure they would have been nicer than that reviewer. Definitely a great spot for free camping, fun exploring, and lots of solitude 🌄❤

Looking for some Adventure?
So this place is really incredible but just a word of caution if you are not familiar with the area.... The salt flats are incredible but deceiving. We buried a jeep (rental) up to the frame in the salt and spent the better part of 4 hours digging/ pulling it out with the assistance a friendly couple that luckily were out on the flats. After getting dug out we set up camp... This is where the fun starts... Turns out that Stansbury Island happens to be a meeting place for a large group of Gay Nudist Swingers... Very friendly people but they may be looking for more of an adventure than you are.... I would suggest Spiral Jetty on the North side of the lake as a backup if sinking sand and Nudist swingers ain't your thing.
