Dune by Frank Herbert
This epic science-fiction story was rejected by 23 publishers before being accepted by Chilton, a small Philadelphia publisher. Dune quickly became a success, winning awards such as the Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1966. Dune was followed by five sequels, and though none did as well as the original, a film version of the book starring rock star Sting did quite well and remains a cult favorite.

With the exception of your insurance policy, you can pretty much chop and change suppliers every year to save money. The reason why you should stick with one insurer is that, generally, the insurance companies do not like someone who is changing all the time they think you are up to something.
But right now I'm going to talk about leasing. This is something that, while tax-efficient, can cost a business thousands of pounds if overlooked. Recently, I visited a friend and saw some of his equipment really struggling to work. Out of curiosity, I asked him how old it was and how much he paid for it. "Oh, I pay £439.80 a month," he said. "So it's leased?" I asked. "Yes, I think so! I've always paid this."
On digging deeper, we discovered he initially got the equipment leased among other things and the term ran out a year ago, but since he didn't realise that it did, the leasing company simply kept charging him for it. Now, there are two points here: when you lease a property, the landlord will not necessarily have to come to you and say, "Your lease has expired!" He is getting his rent, so he will continue to receive his rent. The only thing is, had you contacted him, you could have renegotiated. With commercial leasing, you simply pay a charge for the titles to either be transferred to your name or for indefinite use of the equipment until its life ends. Either way, it saves you from paying the lease on it.
So what have we learnt? We have to keep on top of all our outgoings especially the big, but infrequent amounts. We tend to be so busy looking after the daily grind that we often forget to take care of the big stuff, which ultimately costs us an arm and a leg, simply because we didn't look at the numbers or, in this case, dates.
So sit down as soon as you can and list all your suppliers of utilities, leasing, finance or any other expenditure. Next, find out the renewal dates, terms and all the other necessary details and, finally, put a note in your diary, so you can pick up the phone and renegotiate, move away or look at other alternatives.

Council of Governors
CNWL became a foundation trust in May 2007, which means that the Trust can be run with greater independence and have more control over financial management.
Foundation trusts also have greater freedom to develop services that meet the specific needs of local communities. Local people are invited to join the Trust's Council of Governors, where they can help ensure we are providing the most suitable services when and where they are needed. The Council of Governors is not involved in operational matters.
The role of the Council of Governors is to:
Read the CNWL Constitution (opens pdf)
Members' views are represented at the Council of Governors by governors who are elected and appointed for specific groups of members, known as constituencies. Constituencies include:
The Council of Governors meets quarterly and all meetings are open to the public. Meetings are chaired by Professor Dorothy Griffiths, Chair for CNWL.
Meeting papers are available to download approximately one week before each meeting date. For upcoming meeting dates and past papers, visit the meeting dates and papers page.

3 Simple Tips to Getting Over Jet Lag as Quickly as Possible
One of the biggest shocks after finishing your first long-haul flight is the jet lag that comes after it. Jet lag happens when your internal clock doesn't match the time zone you're in, and can come with feelings of nausea, digestive issues, and sleepiness. Jet lag is generally worse when you travel east, and the more time zones, the worse the symptoms. There are several things you can do to try to get over it quickly, though.
Melatonin is the hormone that your body releases when it expects that you'll be going to sleep soon, and is one of the triggers to start making you feel sleepy. Often, when jet-lagged, our body is expecting to wake up while it's the middle of the night in the country you've landed in, or that you'll have to go to sleep when your body feels like it's the middle of the day.
Taking melatonin an hour before you want to go to sleep can help your body start the process of getting tired, allowing you to sleep for the full night and wake up on the correct time zone. Zach Attack Supplements is an excellent place to visit to find supplements to help you sleep.
Start adjusting before you go.
If you have a few days before the trip where you can prepare, start setting your clocks to the time in the country you're flying to, and begin transitioning before you leave. A good routine is to start adjusting around three days before you plan to leave, and go to sleep 1-2 hours later or earlier than you usually would towards the time zone you're aiming for.
If three days isn't possible, then try to get at least as close to the time zone as you can the day before you leave. If you're traveling across six time zones, try to wake up six hours earlier than you usually would. This will be tiring, but when you arrive at your location, you'll be ready to go to sleep and wake up at the correct time.
Use lights to your favor.
Your body's circadian rhythm is closely connected to the amount and type of light it's being exposed to. If you expose yourself to a lot of blue spectrum light, then your body will naturally think it's the morning or daytime and will start its internal processes of waking up. If you reduce these lights and stick to red or warm lighting, then your body will start to think the sun is setting and will get ready to sleep.
If you need to wake up and stay awake, then the best thing to do is to find the sun or somewhere with bright lights. If you're trying to sleep at a time that feels like the daytime to your body, start reducing the amount of blue spectrum lights around you. This includes electronic screens, which are notorious for being bad for your sleep schedule.
How to Save Money by changing your Shopping Habits
There is an awful lot of advice around on the subject of how to save money. Many tipsters recommend that you should cut back on things like your usage of electricity in the home. They also advise changing your social habits by staying in instead of going out, and if you do venture out, go to cheap venues like local museums.
There's a plethora of completely free resources to help you save money. Here's 40 right off the bat to get you started. Some of these ideas are harder to adopt than others. But one of the easiest, and most impactful ways of saving money is to change your shopping habits, and that's what we're going to look at in today's post.
Don't be too easily swayed by advertising
Like everywhere in the modern, civilised world, consumers are bombarded with advertising. The annual spend on adverts here in South Africa last year was an enormous 36.6-million Rand. Most of this amount (21% in fact) goes on TV and video advertising. The second-largest spend is on internet adverts. People are driven by adverts like herds of sheep.
It tends to be the bigger, more expensive product brands that get noticed. Hardly surprising because it's these guys who have the largest advertising budgets and they are incredibly successful at influencing their target audience. The more active they become, the larger their target audience becomes too.
Being trendy costs money
It comes as no surprise to see that the top three clothes brands in South Africa are Nike, Adidas and Levy. Everyone wants to be seen sporting their wares, from kids at school, to streetwise youngsters and everyday fashionistas. But, of course, they all come at a price, and it is not an easily affordable one.
What it all boils down to, however, is being seen to be trendy. Although the quality of these top branded products is excellent, they are many other far cheaper products on the market. If you forgo the kudos and buy these less expensive alternatives, it is a sure-fire answer of how to save money.
Better burger deals
The same can be said for food and drink. It's another marketplace where the advertising agencies reign supreme, both in the supermarkets and the fast-food stores. Take MacDonald's, for example. They opened their first restaurant in South Africa in 1995. Just 21 years later, they have 200 in total across the country, serving 8 million customers per month.
But as with Nike of Adidas, don't just follow the herd and flock to MacDonald's. There are plenty of other cheaper burger places around, and some great two-for-one deals. You can share these with friends, so it is a top tip on how to save money while still being sociable.
Great tips to save money on grocery shopping
Buying top food brands in supermarkets is a waste of money. Forget the advertising and try some of the supermarket own-brand alternatives. Many are just as good taste-wise and are significantly cheaper. Check out https://www.privateproperty.co.za/advice/property/articles/10-easy-ways-to-save-on-your-grocery-bill/6639 on how to save money on grocery shopping. It has some excellent tips.
6 Ways Gaming Can Make You Happy
When was the last time you played a video game that stirred your emotions till you lost touch with what was going on? Video games have the ability to spice up your boring weekends. Playing video games is not only entertaining but is also good for your physical and mental health. Games like EA Sports Active are designed to get you out of your couch and enjoy your workout while you also get entertained.
I find the social aspect of video games very interesting. There are games which require you to verbally communicate and coordinate with other gamers. This adds a whole new dimension to video gaming as you are no more an asocial dweeb who doesn't socialize enough with other people. It's important to always stay social, especially, if you are a naturally introverted person.
Here are six ways gaming can make you happy and help you live a wholesome life.
1. You get a temporary respite from stress
Stress and anxiety are so prevalent in today's society that it has become an accepted norm. Everyone has their own way of dealing with it. People are constantly looking for ways of self-expression so that they can connect with other human beings in an authentic way. I guess not being able to express yourself and being too caught up in the mundane daily routine are some of the reasons behind stress in the younger generation.
There are many ways to get a temporary respite from being stressed out. Some people prefer exercising while others play musical instruments. However, there is a certain percentage of people who are big fans of playing video games. Gaming can make you happy and relieve stress in a matter of minutes. Knowingly or unknowingly, their addiction to video games is making them happy.
2. It puts a healthy amount of pressure on you
An Iraqi university studied the effects of the stress created by a video game on players. They were curious to know the mindset of a gamer who is under pressure of winning the game. This is what led them to the realization that playing video games can also reinforce the cognitive elements of gamers. However, it is important to know the type of games that are good for your brain and the ones that are detrimental to your cognitive abilities.
There are 4 main types of genres of video games that are capable of inducing a healthy level of stress in gamers. They 4 genres are Puzzles, Runner games, Fear based games and Excitement causing games. From the above 4 categories, playing Puzzles and Runner games provide immediate benefits like increased concentration, enhanced memory and feeling relaxed. Fear based and Excitement games scare the gamer for a short period and it's up to the gamer how they interpret the stress.
3. You instantly become a part of a worldwide community
For the last couple of decades, online gaming communities on websites like Reddit have been a lifesaver for kids who grew up as introverted. School life can be tough and create a lot of stress. Even for adults who are in college or are working, the burden of assignments or work can force them to lead a life of loneliness and despair. Playing video games and joining relevant communities online can give them the emotional support they desperately seek.
Gaming can make you happy in ways you cannot conceive. Imagine going from a fully introverted person to having friends all over the world. I understand that these friends are virtual, but you can meet them in person at gaming meetups and conventions. Having a common hobby and being passionate about it will help you connect with other gamers without putting much effort.
4. You always have something exciting to do
No wonder why people get addicted to video games. I have seen both kids and adults take gaming so seriously as if their life depended on it. Video games can be a great way to spend your weekend afternoons when most of your friends are either resting or busy with their family commitments. Keep in mind that, addiction is a result of letting a single thing take control of your life. Gaming can only make you happy if you indulge in it in moderation.
5. It keeps you healthy as you grow older
Playing video games in moderation is not only beneficial for young people but is also equally good for the elderly. It is no secret that, as you get older, your cognitive abilities begin to decline and your thinking capabilities suffer. This is more likely to happen if you don't make enough efforts to keep your mind sharp and agile. Your mind is also a muscle. It needs to be exercised regularly or else it becomes weak and fragile.
According to a recent study by the University of Cyprus, playing online video games can have beneficial cognitive effects in older adults. They concluded that the people who play video games in their twilight years have better reaction time, memory, and attention span than other people of the same age group. Furthermore, 3D video games like Angry Birds and Super Mario 3D World can improve their postural balance and muscle strength.
6. Improves your cognitive and emotional skills
Over the last three decades, video games have evolved in a way that nobody had expected. They have changed the way people spend their free time and provided an emotional outlet to those who are unfortunate not to have the social skills to make friends in the real world. According to the Entertainment Software Association, kids are not the only demographic who are interested in playing video games. Males and females in their 30's are the biggest consumers of the gaming industry.
Gaming can make you happy by making you more smarter and hence win big in all areas of your life. According to a Spanish study, playing video games can improve cognitive and emotional skills in young adults. To come to this conclusion, there were 35 studies done separately and the results were then processed by several Italian and Spanish universities. They considered the effects of both commercial and non-commercial video games.
In Conclusion
There are so many studies providing enough evidence that gaming can make you happy but you should also be aware of the darker side of it. Teenagers in countries like South Korea and Japan are struggling with gaming addiction and there also have been a few deaths because of it. Like every other activity, gaming is beneficial only when you indulge in it with the right mindset.

Getting Out of Debt Can Take Years—Why Patience Pays
It'd be nice to snap your fingers and watch your debt melt away. But the truth is that getting out of debt can take years. Here's more on what to expect, and why patience pays.
How Long Does It Take to Eliminate Debt?
There's no easy answer on how long it will take you to eliminate your debt. It depends on how much, what kind and which strategy you pursue.
Paying the minimum balance will almost certainly take the longest, which is why it's not considered a sustainable strategy for the long term. As Real Simple reminds us, it would cost a consumer with about $16,000 in credit card debt—approximately the average amount carried per American household—$11,000 in interest alone if they only pay the minimum balance due each month. And it will take a long time. Interest creates a lot of extra work, so it's generally smarter to pursue a more aggressive strategy for paying down debt.
Every debt elimination strategy worth its weight in gold takes time. In fact, consumers should probably be wary about any "get out of debt quick" schemes they come across while doing research. It's very normal for a process like debt settlement to take 24 to 48 months, for instance; many positive Freedom Debt Relief reviews come from people who've been enrolled in the program for years, making steady payments into an account and working toward settling their debts one by one.
Another example is debt consolidation, in which you take out a loan to cover your high-interest debts which you then repay at a fixed rate over time. Many debt consolidation loans have terms of three to five years, although some are shorter and some longer.
The moral of the story? It's better to work sustainably to pay off debt over several years than to throw a lot of money at debt repayment inconsistently. At least if you have a plan in place, there'll be light at the end of the tunnel.
Staying Motivated to Pay Off Debt on Your Own
Half the battle when it comes to paying off debt is staying engaged mentally. It's easy to get discouraged every time you receive a collection notice or experience a financial setback. Instead of thinking of debt as an all-or-nothing proposition—either you have debt, or you don't—think of it as a journey. Celebrate each milestone and use it to fuel your determination.
Many people prefer the debt snowball method in which you order your debts from smallest to largest, then tackle them in ascending order. With each balance you pay off, you can snowball the money you're saving into paying off your next-largest debt. People say it's a good motivator because you experience a series of triumphs that keep you forging ahead toward being debt free.
As NerdWallet writes, "If a debt snowball offers the kind of reinforcement that will keep you motivated, it's worth the premium to get your finances on track." The premium is that you may pay more in interest over time if you order your debts by size rather than by interest rate. Others find more incentive in the debt avalanche method because it involves knocking debt out from highest to lowest interest, a move that can save you money overall.
Some people prefer to work with a credit counselor or a debt settlement program because it involves someone else helping them stay accountable. Of course, you'll likely pay a fee to use services like these. Whatever keeps you going, stick to it. Motivation goes a long way in helping you find the patience to stick with whatever debt elimination strategy you ultimately choose.

Posted October 13, 2015
California Governor Jerry Brown on Saturday signed a bill that sets the strictest government standards in the United States for the use of antibiotics in livestock production, according to a Reuters article available here. Ag Web also published an article available here, U.S. News & World Report hereand Bloomberg here.
California is known for its leadership on public health and environmental issues. This move accompanies the growing concern that the overuse of these drugs is contributing to rising numbers of antibiotic-resistant bacteria known as "superbugs."
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 2 million people in this country are infected with drug resistant bacteria each year and that 23,000 die as a direct result.
Meat producers will only be allowed to administer the drugs with the approval of a veterinarian when animals are sick, or to prevent infections if there's an "elevated risk." They cannot use the drugs "in a regular pattern." The policy is more restrictive than the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) national guidelines, which don't restrict use for disease prevention, according to Ag Web.
Small cattle ranchers in rural areas may have a harder time getting medicine approved by a veterinarian, said Justin Oldfield, vice president of government relations at the California Cattlemen's Association. He also rejected the notion that the bill would force producers to drastically change their practices and suggested advocates exaggerated how the use of drugs, according to Bloomberg.
"We're not routinely feeding animals [antibiotics] all the time for disease prevention," he said. "We care about antibiotic resistance, just like everybody else does."
The antibiotics are different from the growth hormones used by many food producers that have drawn criticism and that some grocery stores and food chains have phased out. Companies including McDonald's, Chipotle and Panera also have begun promoting their chicken as raised without antibiotics, according to U.S. News & World Report.
The California Veterinary Medical Association expressed concern that veterinarians might not be able to prescribe the drugs preventively to treat diseases for which there is no test available to determine which animals are carriers.
The law, which takes effect in 2018, also eliminates the availability of livestock antibiotics for over-the-counter sales.

Can the credit providers change their mind after the debt counselling proposal has been agreed upon?
Once an agreement has been reached between creditor and debt counselor, the decision is set in stone so to speak. Once signed off, the creditor may not change the terms of the agreement in any way. This legally binding agreement allows the debtor to repay debts without threat of legal action resulting in loss of assets or means to live.
As long as the client maintains payments each month and ensures all is in order, this agreement is binding until the debt has been paid off.

: Text Messaging: Means of Communication or Means of Lowering the Level of English Literacy Among Lpu Students
The Oxford Union Schools' Competition uses a format known as British Parliamentary (BP) debating. This is the format used by most university competitions for schoolchildren (it is also used by the Bristol, Cambridge and Durham Schools' Competitions), but it is quite different from other formats, such as that used in the ESU Schools' Mace. Speakers who have debated in other formats usually have no difficulty switching to BP, but it is important that everyone understands the format and rules of the debate. This information sheet can only give the most salient points about BP debating; if this format is new to you, we strongly recommend that you attend one of our workshops, to which all schools that enter the Oxford Union Schools' Competition are invited.
The Motion
Every debate has a motion; this is the issue for discussion. A good motion has clear arguments in favour of it and against it. The motions used in the Oxford Union Schools' Competition will be on topics that a young person who frequently reads a good newspaper and thinks about what they are reading will be well equipped to argue about. Often, the motions are highly topical. Examples of recent motions are posted on the website (www.oxfordschools.org.uk). The motion is expressed "This House…": this is a convention and "The House" is all the people present at the debate. Each team is allocated whether they will propose or oppose the motion. The teams are allocated whether they will speak first or second on their side of the motion. The teams sit as shown in this diagram. The roles of each position on the table are discussed later on this sheet. You must not contradict the other team on your side, but you are competing against them: you must show the judges that you can debate more persuasively that the teams on the other side and the other team on your own side. You should therefore not discuss with the other team on your side what you are going to say or help them in any way. Indeed, you must not talk to anyone other than your partner during the preparation period: coaching during this time by teachers, parents or anyone else is strictly prohibited.
Basic rules and advice about structure
• • • • Speeches are five minutes in length. The first and last minutes are protected time – no points of information may be made during this time. Points of Information should be offered during the three minutes of unprotected time when members of the other side are speaking. Speeches should have a clear Internal Structure. It is often best to begin by attacking the arguments of previous speakers from the other side (especially the one just before you) and then to make you own points. Try to separate your arguments into two, three or four areas (e.g. a social argument, a political argument and an economic argument). Signpost your arguments clearly (e.g. "this is my first point", "now to move onto my second points", "lastly, looking at my third point" etc): this makes it much easier for the audience and the judges to follow your speech. Work as a team, ensuring that your arguments are consistent and complementary.
The roles of the four teams
Opening Proposition Team First speaker 1. Define the motion (see below). 2. Outline the case he and his partner will put forward and explain which speaker will deal with which arguments. 3. Develop his own arguments, which should be separated into two or three main points. 4. Finish by summarising his main points Second speaker 1. Re-cap the team line. 2. Rebut the response made by the first opposition speaker to his partner's speech. 3. Rebut the first opposition speaker's main arguments. 4. Develop his own arguments – separated into two or three main points. 5. Finish with a summary of the whole team case. Opening Opposition Team First speaker 1. Respond to the definition if it is unfair or makes no link to the motion. You can re-define (offer an alternative interpretation of...

Quick Review - BMW M4 Competition Package
Made for the Green Hell
BMW's evolution from racing through the years is evident in their street-cars, and the M4 Competition Package is no exception. The torque is brutal (406 lb-ft), the steering amazing, allowing you to put the car exactly where you want, and the 7 speed gearbox allows you to communicate the power with the road in a controlled sensation that many other cars simply cannot match.
The delivery of the power means you don't miss the natural aspirated V8 from the last generation, and on track those 444hp create an amazingly addictive sound. It's also obvious the car was honed and tested right here on the Nordschleife as it feels right at home on track, with those huge brake calipers giving a strong bite and a secure feeling as you progress around the circuit.
This is truly one of best "road to track" cars you can drive at the moment – BMW's heritage and driving pleasure will surely make you smile.

Sidney Callahan: Pro-Life Feminist
A bio-ethicist's powerful counter-argument to husband's pro-choice views
by Charles C. Camosy
Sidney and Dan Callahan were pioneers. The efforts of this dynamic husband-and-wife team led to the founding of the Hastings Center, now the premier place in the world to study bioethics. A key moment came in 1968, when Dan received a grant from the Ford Foundation to do comprehensive research and produce Abortion: Law, Choice and Mortality. This came at a time when abortion was just heating up as a national issue, with Roe v. Wade (which would end up citing his book) coming a mere five years later. Month after month, day in and day out, Dan and Sidney would talk and argue about the ideas he was exploring in the book. After the research and arguing was complete, Dan came to a "pro-choice" conclusion, while Sidney decided that she was "pro-life." Indeed, after her husband's book came out in support of abortion rights, Sidney responded not only by providing the intellectual support behind the now widely popular and successful group Feminists for Life but also by responding to some of her husband's arguments.
Perhaps her most famous essay is entitled "Abortion and the Sexual Agenda: A Case for Pro-Life Feminism." The essay begins by highlighting and explaining what she takes to be the four main principles of "pro-choice" feminism. In what follows, I summarize this section of her essay:
- The autonomous right to control one's own body
- A woman choosing an abortion is exercising a basic right to do what she wishes with her body. If she does not want to be pregnant and give birth, she should not be compelled to do so. Just because it is her body that is involved, a woman should have the right to terminate her pregnancy.
- This is an especially important right in a society in which women cannot count on medical care or social support in pregnancy, childbirth, or child rearing.
- Personal responsibility and reproductive freedom
- In order to plan, choose, and exercise personal responsibility, one must have control of reproduction. A woman, therefore, must be able to make yes-or-no decisions about a specific pregnancy according to her present situation, resources, prior commitments, and life plan.
- Abortion is necessary to guarantee women this freedom. Without abortion rights, women's personal moral agency and human consciousness are subjected to biology and chance.
- The contingent value of fetal life
- A woman must want and value the fetus for it to be considered of moral worth. After all, the process by which a fetus gains social and moral significance can only take place in the body of the woman.
- The meaning and value of fetal life are constructed and defined by the woman. Without this personal conferral, the only thing left is a biological process. Thus fetal interests or fetal rights can never outweigh the woman's prior interest and rights.
- The right to full social equality
- Female social equality depends on being able to compete and participate as freely as males can in the structures of educational and economic life. If a woman cannot control when and how she will be pregnant or rear children, she is at a distinct disadvantage, especially in our male-dominated world.
- Women should enjoy the basic right of everyone to the free exercise of full sexual expression, separated from procreation. No less than males, women should be able to be sexually active without the constant fear of pregnancy. Therefore, it is necessary for abortion to be available in order for women to participate in our culture on an equal footing with men.
Upon examining the arguments she was having with "pro-choice" feminists, Callahan began to realize that the categories, assumptions, reasoning, and goals with which she was being confronted were not feminist at all. To the contrary, her opponents simply borrowed the categories, assumptions, reasoning, and goals of "pro-choice" men. Indeed, it turned out that the arguments she was hearing from most "pro-choice" feminists were very similar to the ones her husband was making.
In response, Sidney Callahan maintained that each of the above principles must be changed—or even abandoned altogether—if we are to incorporate the insights of an authentic feminism. Again, what follows is my summary of this part of her essay:
- A shift from talk about "autonomous control" over one's "own body" to a more inclusive focus on justice and a nonviolent focus on the vulnerable
- In pregnancy, a woman's body no longer exists as a single unit but as nurturer and protector of another's life. Pregnancy is not like the growth of cancer or infestation by a biological parasite. It is the way every human being enters the world.
- Debates similar to those about the fetus were once conducted about the personhood of women and girls. A woman was once viewed as incorporated into the "one flesh" of her husband's person; she, too, was a form of bodily property. In all unjust patriarchal systems, lesser orders of human life are granted rights only when wanted, chosen, or invested with value by the powerful. As recent immigrants from "nonpersonhood," feminists have traditionally fought for justice for both themselves and others who have their personhood threatened by the powerful.
- Rejecting male aggression and destruction, feminists seek alternative, peaceful, ecologically sensitive means to resolve conflicts. It is a chilling inconsistency to see pro-choice feminists demanding continued access to assembly-line, technological methods of fetal killing. It is a betrayal of feminism, which has built the struggle for justice on the bedrock of women's empathy and nonviolence.
- A shift from "personal responsibility and choice" to a deeper and more authentic sense of reproductive freedom
- Morality is sometimes thought of as a matter of human agency and decisive action, but feminists know that we have moral duties we do not choose. Morality is hardly limited to contracted agreements between isolated individuals.
- A pregnant woman, whether or not she has explicitly consented to the existence of the child, has a moral obligation to the now-existing and dependent fetus. No pro-life feminist would dispute the important observations of pro-choice feminists about the extreme difficulties that bearing an unwanted child in our society can entail. But the stronger force of the fetal claim presses a woman to accept these burdens: the fetus possesses rights arising from its extremely vulnerable situation.
- A shift from the "contingent value" of human life to a justice-centered respect for its intrinsic and irreducible value
- Human beings, from the beginning to the end of their development, have intrinsic value that does not depend on meeting selective criteria or tests. Human rights arise from human needs, and it is the very nature of a right, or valid claim upon another, that it cannot be denied or rescinded by more powerful others.
- It is particularly odd for feminists, who otherwise have justice-centered concerns to protect the vulnerable from the powerful, to hold that in the case of the fetus it is the pregnant woman alone who has the power to bestow or remove her rights.
- A shift of our understanding of "full social equality" to reflect an authentically feminist perspective
- Permissive abortion laws do not bring women freedom, social equality, sexual fulfillment, or full personal development. They are based on male models of sex, which have long been used to subjugate women. This male-centered understanding pits women against their own offspring in a way that is not only morally offensive but psychologically and politically destructive.
- Women's rights and liberation are linked with fetal rights. If a woman claims the right to decide by herself whether the fetus becomes a child or not, what does this do to paternal and communal responsibility? Why should men share responsibility for child support or child rearing if they cannot share in what is declared to be the woman's sole decision? Furthermore, if explicit intentions and consciously accepted contracts are necessary for moral obligations, why should men be held responsible for what they do not voluntarily choose to happen? Abortion on demand, often advocated as a response to male irresponsibility, legitimates such irresponsibility.
- In our male-dominated world, what men don't do doesn't count. Pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing have been characterized as passive and debilitating. Pregnancy is likened to a disease or impairment that handicaps women in the "real" world. Many pro-choice feminists, deliberately childless, adopt the male perspective when they cite the "basic injustice that women have to bear the babies," instead of seeing the injustice in the fact that men cannot give birth to children. Women's biologically unique capacity and privilege has been denied, despised, and suppressed under male domination. Rather than accept this view of the world, women should argue that pregnancy is an exercise of life-giving power that men can never know.
- Instead of being empowered by their abortion choices, women are instead merely attempting to survive the debilitating reality of not being free to bring a baby into the world in terms that respect their difference from men. A new kind of pro-life feminism is needed in which all of women's reality is accorded respect. This time, instead of conforming to male models and ideas, women must demand that society must make room for the biological reality of women.
When it comes to the insights of pro-life feminism, though she was expanding on what the first American feminists (see quotes below, and download a pdf of selected quotes) had already said about abortion, Sidney Callahan began the movement in the contemporary era. And, for me at least, her arguments remain the best ones out there.
This article is excerpted from chapter 5 of Beyond the Abortion Wars: A Way Forward for a New Generation, by Charles C. Camosy (Eerdmans, 2015). It appears here by kind permission of the publisher.
The first feminists—those who fought for the right of women to vote, for instance—were strongly skeptical of abortion, not least because they believed that men (and institutions run by men) coerced most abortions. The groundbreaking group Feminists for Life is one of the few organizations that recognizes and highlights this fact.
"We want to prevention, not merely punishment. We must reach the root of the evil…It is practiced by those whose inmost souls revolt from the dreadful deed." ~Susan B. Anthony, The Revolution, 4(1):4, July 8, 1869
"There must be a remedy even for such a crying evil as this. But where shall it be found, at least where begin, if not in the complete enfranchisement and elevation of women?" ~Elizabeth Cady Stanton, The Revolution, 1(5):1, March 12, 1868
"The custom of procuring abortions has reached such apalling proportions in America as to be beyond belief… So great is the misery of the working classes that 17 abortions are committed in every one hundred pregnancies." ~Emma Goldman, Mother Earth, 1911
"When a man steals to satisfy hunger, we may safely conclude that there is something wrong in society—so when a woman destroys the life of her unborn child, it is evidence that either by education or circumstances she has been greatly wronged." ~Maddie Brinkerhoff, The Revolution 4(9):138-9, Sept. 2, 1869
"Every woman knows that if she were free, she would never bear an un-wished for child, nor think of murdering one before its birth." ~Victoria Woodhall, the first female US presidential candidate, Wheeling (WV) Evening Standard, Nov. 17, 1875

Are any of these things part of your normal day-to-day?
- You are constantly being pulled in a million directions.
- You are constantly reacting to the "emergency of the day."
- You are constantly needed for approvals and reviews.
- You can't get your own work done because you are a slave to others'.
- You start early and finish late but still can't seem to get everything done.
- You feel busy all day, but you can't really point to anything specific that you finished at the end of it.
If you experience any one of these on a day-to-day basis, you could be in trouble.
We all experience these symptoms from time to time, but if it happens for too many days (or weeks) in a row, something is broken.
Don't panic.
It's normal to ebb and flow like this. What's not normal is experiencing these symptoms chronically.
Here are some things you can think/do/remember that will help alleviate these symptoms:
There is always an infinite amount of work to be done–so working harder or longer isn't a feasible long-term solution.
Just because it's urgent doesn't mean it's important. Define what's important first, then go after what's important AND urgent.
I can admit, it feels good to be needed, but if people can't move forward on their work because they need something from you, YOU are the bottleneck. Your team is counting on your to empower them with the tools and resources to move faster without you overseeing every little thing.
Being busy doesn't mean you're productive. Productive means you have a measurable output. Busy is just an "energy consumption" metric that tells you your RPMs.
2 Minute Action:
Here are some options for today.
- Look up the Eisenhower Decision Matrix and use it to prioritize your tasks for today.
- Schedule a "retrospective" with your team, partner, colleagues, or clients. In it, you should ask "what went so well that we should keep doing it?" and "what should we stop doing or could be improved?"
- Create a Scrum board that makes it really clear what is done and what is still being worked on.
It's your responsibility to identify and solve problems in yourself, for your clients, for your patients, for your students, or for your team.
Until you train and empower them to, no one else is going to do it for you.

Early Childhood Screening
Early Childhood Screening is a health and developmental screening that is required by the State of Minnesota for all children before entering kindergarten. State law recommends that screening be completed during the year the child is three. It includes immunization records review, height, and weight measurement, hearing and vision screening and standardized developmental screening of speech, language, concepts and motor skills and social/emotional development. Results are summarized during a parent interview. Early Childhood Screening identifies, at an early age, possible health or learning concerns, so that children can get help before starting school. Free screenings are offered throughout the school year by appointment.
Please call 336-8816 or e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com to schedule an Early Childhood Screening appointment.

Breath intertwines with
Swift, fluid motion
Centered amidst chaos
The battle presses on
Movement defies nature
I, warrior
Cross dimensional divides
To be named the victor
Bowing, I breathe out
My respect
Now at peace with my foe
#frapalymo is hosted by @FrauPaulchen and is translated by Bee on her blog Just Fooling Around with Bee. Today's prompt is "media transfer video: kung fu motion visualization". Write a poem to this post which explains how motion is caught in photography and art and how the unseen can be rendered seen. It is about the fact that an artist managed to make the movements of kung fu masters seen even though it is not possible to see them with the human eye.
Feel free to play along. Here are Bee's suggestions:
- read the translation of @FrauPaulchen's prompt
- write your English (German if you can/want to) poem on your blog and tag it with "English #frapalymo."
- use the "English #frapalymo" picture if you want to
- set a link to the translated prompt here on Bee's blog
- visit other links posted here and if you want to/can those posted with the hashtag #fapalymo on Twitter
- The Bee will post your link to the German #frapalymo and translate for you if you want to. Now go, create and have lots of fun!

There is likely something else going on since mod_evhost works fine for me when using the configuration snippet you have provided.
The factual observation you have made is that something works with lighttpd 1.4.52, but not with lighttpd 1.4.53, but you have not presented sufficient information to identify the actual problem. Your conclusion that there is a problem with mod_evhost is likely wrong, so please provide more information. If you do not wish to share your lighttpd.conf, then please try to reproduce the problem with a simplified lighttpd.conf. Please set
debug.log-request-header = "enable" and capture the request headers, too.

Server: lighttpd/1.4.53
Updated by gstrauss 12 months ago
For testing I am using the stock configuration installed by FreeBSD port www/lighttpd (lighttpd-1.4.53).
That may be pertinent. I don't have a FreeBSD test system set up at the moment. You might want to experiment with building lighttpd from source to see if the issue persists.
Updated by moisseev 12 months ago
I don't see how it helps. Building from port is just an automated way of building from source. When building from source we basically should do the same things but by hand. It is complicated and time-consuming. If you have any idea what can cause the issue, I would experiment with port modifications (change build options, startup script etc.).
Updated by gstrauss 12 months ago
Try building from upstream source, as a non-privileged user, and skip the install step. Create a local config file separate from all the existing configs provided by the FreeBSD package and run that test config from the build location. Then see if you can reproduce the problem.
I could not reproduce the problem on a Linux system and I even added tests to the test drivers to validate that things were working as I expected.
Updated by moisseev 12 months ago
I have no idea how to run lighttpd from the build location.

server.modules = ("mod_evhost")
I think mod_evhost is running since it works when I change %0 pattern to %1.
I built the personal/gstrauss/master branch and tried to run my test config. The result is the same. Can you please give me the instruction on how to run the functional tests?
Updated by gstrauss 12 months ago
That the tests pass suggest that there is something specific to your system, and perhaps something else going on which manifests itself when mod_evhost tries to use con->uri.authority.
Try this:
debug.log-request-handling = "enable"
and looking in the error log to see what is reported for "URI-authority: ...", which is logged after the request is parsed.
Are you able to reproduce this on a different machine? I ask since I was not able to reproduce this.

I am unable to reproduce this using a fresh FreeBSD-12.0-RELEASE-amd64.raw with only packages added so that I can build and run lighttpd.
I imagine that you're just as frustrated as I am. What compiler are you using? What does the compilation line for mod_evhost.c look like? You have mentioned that %1 works for you, and it is not immediately apparent to me why that would work but %0 would not, as %0 is created in the array unconditionally, but for you it is not found.

Aha! Thank you for your persistence. The allocated array was reused, and unfortunately there are two flavors of array: key/value and value-only (with generated key). The Connection header used it one way, and mod_evhost started using it the other way in lighttpd 1.4.53, and the reused data element messed up the first element ("%0") inserted into the array in mod_evhost. The only other module which reuses this array is mod_flv_streaming.c, and has likely suffered a similar problem since lighttpd 1.4.51, released 14 Oct 2018.

While cruising the EuroArms Italia website, I came across this interesting Enfield carbine. It's obviously a real Lee Enfield cavalry carbine made in 1900, but the stock looks to have been shortened, most likely as a civilian sporter. It retains most of it's correct and rare attributes, such as the leather site protector and flattened bolt knob. These were characteristics only for carbines, along with the shorter 6 round magazine, which enabled sliding in and out of saddle buckets easily.
The carbine version of the Lee series of rifles started around 1895 and were made up until the adoption of the SMLE around 1902. Volley sights were done away with as this was a short range weapon (but the sights were still graduated to 2000 yards, not so short range). The barrel lost around 10 inches and the weight reduced by ten pounds. The earlier rifles had sling hooks also for saddle use, which were universally discontinued on the introduction of Enfield rifling.
With the advent of the Boer War, Enfields were quickly issued to troops shipping out, but were found to shoot off target, as the sealed pattern had defective sights, and the approval process missed that important item. After quickly modifying the guns in the field, and the factory turning out a correct sight, the Enfield was quickly on it's way to becoming the most long lived rifle of the British empire.

This can present as aseptic meningitis with neck stiffness, usually recovering after 10 days (abortive or non-paralytic
Meningitis is also caused by several other enteroviruses (see below).
The more serious presentation is paralytic
, appearing 5 to 10 days after a mild upper respiratory tract infection ('minor illness') and progressing to flaccid paralysis resulting from motor neurone destruction ('major illness'). This may be accompanied by spasms and inco-ordination of non-paralysed muscles. Various forms of the 'major illness' reflect infection of different parts of the CNS. Paralysis of limbs results from destruction of motor neurones in the lower part of the spinal cord ('spinal form'), while the more life threatening bulbar
('bulbar form') involves infections of the medulla oblongata or bulb. Respiratory functions can be affected in both the spinal and bulbar forms of the disease. Encephalitis is rare.
In children under 5 years old, paralysis of one leg is most common; in children 5 to 15 years of age, weakness of one limb or paraplegia are frequent; quadriplegia is most common in adults, often accompanied by urinary bladder and respiratory muscle dysfunction. Muscular function in limbs may return slowly but there is residual paralysis in 90 per cent of survivors. Ten to 25 per cent of paralytic cases have bulbar symptoms with hypertension, shock, and dysphonia.
are nosocomial pneumonias (by staphylococci or Gram-negative bacteria), urinary tract infections, and emotional problems.
The mortality from paralytic
is 2 to 5 per cent among children and 15 to 30 per cent among adults. Muscle weakness may develop many years after the initial
disease (postpolio syndrome or postpolio neuromuscular atrophy). A persistent poliovirus infection as cause of this has been assumed, based on the presence of viral RNA in cerebrospinal fluid and neural tissue. However, such RNA has also been found in patients with other neurological and non-neurological diseases and is therefore less likely to be related to the postpolio syndrome. The alternative view is that the postpolio syndrome is anatomical in origin, such that the initial attack of
destroys motor neurones and reduces the backup available as the patient ages.

is that in a few cases the attenuated vaccine strains have reverted to virulence.
Since the early 1980s, all cases of
in the United States and Europe were found to be caused by vaccine-related, that is reverted poliovirus, or were imported from endemic countries and were not indigenous, original wild-type strains. The risk of vaccine-associated
is between 0.5 and
.4 cases per million of susceptible children immunized. Vaccine-related
is mostly caused by type 2 or type
viruses, probably due to the fact that the number of point mutations in type 1 vaccine virus compared to wild type is much higher than in type 2 and type
vaccine viruses. However, this finding raises the question of whether oral vaccination should be continued. In the United States, guidelines have been developed recently which replace the oral vaccination programme by a mixed procedure, initially using inactivated vaccine, followed by booster doses of oral vaccine. For a variety of reasons many countries (United States, France, Germany) have either subscribed to the exclusive use of IPV or are likely to do so in the near future. The decision was influenced by the good progress made towards the eradication of
due to wild-type virus.
OPV is the vaccine of choice for people travelling into poliovirus endemic areas if their immune status is unknown or in doubt. The vaccine should be given at least 2 weeks before departure.

In contrast to his reputation as a builder, devouring the entire slate of Republican candidates this election cycle and rendering the Republican brand as radioactive as Chernobyl would be Trump's greatest, most lasting achievement, having a far longer-term, more meaningful, and positive impact on history and the world than any number of golf courses with ridiculously-oversized American flags or skyscrapers with his name plastered on them in giant letters.
