Pregnancy is often thought of as joyful where the majority of moms are excited about the new life growing inside their bellies. However, for some women, pregnancy can be a very stressful time. Unplanned pregnancies, women who already have multiple children, and woman who lack support systems may find themselves feeling less excitement and more anxious, overwhelmed, and even depressed. These feelings and raw emotions combined with the multitude of hormonal changes that take place during the nine months of pregnancy can sometimes have undesirable consequences.
We all know that many people do unthinkable things, but this includes pregnant women. While it's entirely unnatural to think of a woman harming her child, it does happen, and it happens every day in one way or another. Most people have seen a pregnant woman smoking a cigarette, or consider the countless babies struggling to survive because they were born addicted to the same illegal drugs the mother used. These are sad situations but startlingly true. Sometimes the harm caused by pregnant women is unintentional, maybe she ate the wrong thing or traveled to a place with virus-carrying mosquitos. Shockingly, sometimes pregnant women and new moms intentionally hurt their children.
Here are 15 ways pregnant women are dangerous to their children:
15 When She Gets Foggy And Forgetful
Often referred to as pregnancy brain, many moms-to-be notice they develop a fogginess or cloudiness to their normally clear headed thought process. Some studies indicate the fuzzy thinking and forgetfulness that take place during pregnancy and early motherhood result from fluctuations and changes of hormones, specifically the higher levels of progesterone. Also, lack of sleep and stresses of the adjustment to a new baby at home may play a role. Often, this wacky state of mind can phase in and out before disappearing altogether without causing any major complications, although there are instances where the forgetfulness in pregnancy can become dangerous, especially with other small children around. Pregnant moms have confessed to forgetting everything from putting up scissors, turning off a burner on the stove, even forgetting to give a child their insulin shots!
14 When She Is Way Too Tired
Pregnant women know a thing or two about being tired. Building a baby from scratch takes a lot out of a woman. During the first trimester, especially while the placenta is being formed, many women feel sluggish. Then, by the second trimester, most are hit with an unexpected bout of energy, but by the third trimester, for various reasons, the tiredness returns to stay. Most women adjust to this need for hibernation by sleeping more, eating better, and getting help around the house. Others struggle daily to focus and stay awake which becomes a real problem when mom-to-be has to care for other children. Many moms admit they worry about falling asleep behind the wheel, or even falling asleep at home while caring for toddlers that might get into mischief while mom naps.
13 When Her Mood Swings Render Her Unstable
Pregnancy causes a tidal wave of hormones to fluctuate and flow through mom-to-be's body and mind which can cause an interesting spectrum of emotions. One second mom-to-be can be full of joy looking in the mirror at her growing belly, the very next second she might feel terrified looking at the changes her body's experiencing. Pregnancy is a huge life event and this period of transition is full of emotions, add to that the flood of hormones and you can have a recipe for disaster. Mood swinging moms-to-be can be snappy, weepy, crazy-happy, and sometimes very grumpy and even gloomy. A woman with rapidly changing moods and personalities can be dangerous for a variety of reasons. Moms-to-be with other children may find themselves with much less patience, and more ready to snap or even spank. And ask any dad-to-be - they will tell you that a moody pregnant woman is extremely dangerous.
12 If She Develops Depression During Pregnancy
It was once widely believed that pregnancy was a safe guard against depression and a number of other mental illnesses due to the surge of estrogen, however those theories have since been disproved. Pregnant women have the same odds of developing depression as women that are not pregnant. Depression during pregnancy can range in its severity. Some moms to be may feel a little weepy, and a little more tired, while others require talk therapy, and in some cases medications to handle more severe cases. Undiagnosed or otherwise untreated depression that starts during pregnancy and continues after the birth of the baby can be tough for the mom leading her to make decisions that could be very dangerous for herself or the child.
11 When She Is Dealing With Extreme Anxiety
Anxiety is an emotion most women can agree they experience to some degree during the nine months of pregnancy. During the first trimester, many moms worry about miscarriage and struggle with the emotional changes of pregnancy. For some moms-to-be, worries pop-up throughout the entire pregnancy as they are constantly asking themselves questions concerning whether they will be a good mother, if their partners will stick around and help, and whether the baby will be healthy. But more often than not, these worries are normal. Pregnant moms work through these worries logically and give themselves time to figure everything out. But in some cases when women develop extreme anxiousness and worry nonstop, it begins to disrupt their lives and the lives of the people surrounding them. These women tend to need talk therapy and some even require medication to level out their emotions, or they can risk harming themselves or their children.
10 When She Eats The Wrong Foods
One bite of the wrong food can cause dire consequences for a growing fetus. While full grown adults and even some healthy children might eat something tainted and suffer nothing more than an upset stomach, the very same virus could cause major damage to, or even kill, a growing baby. So, while it can seem dizzyingly dangerous territory trying to sort through the hazards of eating safely while pregnant, it's best to just avoid certain things altogether. Anything raw, or undercooked (think seared), deli meats, unpasteurized dairy, and raw sprouts are all off limits. The risk of ingesting parasites and bacteria found in these foods would be very dangerous for a growing baby.
9 If She Has An Eating Disorder
Women with an eating disorder who become pregnant are likely to continue suffering during and after the pregnancy. They may not eat enough for themselves or their growing child, take harmful substances like laxatives, or gain too much weight, causing birth defects, fetal death or still births. Eating disorders like other mental illnesses should, if possible, be treated before attempting to have children. Women suffering from distorted body images often struggle with the drastic changes that happen during pregnancy. Another difficult time for many women is after having the baby and trying to lose the baby weight. Extreme dieting and overly strenuous exercise before the body is ready is very dangerous for a new mom making her very susceptible to fainting or blacking out, which can also be extremely dangerous for mommy and the new born.
8 When She Doesn't Quit Smoking Cigarettes
Smoking is an unhealthy and addictive habit for anyone, but when it comes to pregnant women its especially horrendous. Besides the absolute facts that smoking causes cancer heart disease, and other major health problems, moms-to-be who chose to light up during pregnancy can cause their unborn children a world of problems from premature births; when children are born before 37 weeks, it can result in birth defects as well as infant death. These circumstances increase dramatically every time a pregnant woman smokes. Studies show that Children born to mothers that either continue to smoke during, or start back up after their children are born, are also at a higher risk to die from SIDS (sudden Infant Death Syndrome).
7 When She Has A Previous Mental Disorder
A mentally unstable and very pregnant Ebony Wilkerson drove her three children into the ocean off Daytona Beach in March. She was charged with attempted murder and later found not guilty by reason of insanity at the time. According to the psychiatrist, she did not "know right from wrong at the time." When a woman previously diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder becomes pregnant, she must make some pretty tough decisions, one of the main ones being the decision to continue with medication throughout the pregnancy. In most other cases, medication, especially stronger ones, are typically avoided at all costs to avoid harming the fetus. But sometimes the decision to discontinue medication can be much more dangerous than the risk it would pose to the baby.
6 When She Has Undiagnosed STDs
Sexually transmitted diseases can go undetected and unnoticed for years. Some women don't even realize they have an STD until they begin all the testing that comes with the many doctor's visits that happen during the course of pregnancy. Many complications can arise from untreated STDs and most women who are suffering from them end up having cesarean sections to prevent the baby from coming into contact with infectious surfaces. Chlamydia can cause eye infections and pneumonia; Syphilis, which is easily passed onto the child, can cause serious complications and often leading to death; Gonorrhea can cause blindness in a newborn; Hepatitis B can cause liver disease and even death; and HIV can be transmitted from mother to baby without the strong medication necessary to prevent it.
5 When She Drinks Alcohol
Drinking during pregnancy can be a touchy subject for many women. In certain cultures, places, and situations, light drinking is not only acceptable, it's encouraged. But anything more than a sip or two with food is a major no-no. FAS, or fetal alcohol syndrome, is an entirely preventable disorder in children, but it results from the consumption of large amounts of alcohol by pregnant women. The range of physical and mental problems that babies can develop is truly heart wrenching, and FAS is the leading cause of mental retardation. Recently, experts began recommending that women refrain from drinking any amount of alcohol because "a safe limit" is often debated. Alcohol consumed by the mother remains in the growing baby's system for much longer than the mothers because baby is unable to properly metabolize it making it extremely dangerous.
4 If She Inflicts Injury And Abuse
Majority of the injuries newborns and very young children suffer at the hands of their mother are unintentional, from being smothered while co-sleeping, to accidental drownings, or accidental poisoning. There are also those unfortunate cases where children are murdered intentionally. One heartbreaking story made headlines in November 2016 when a mom murdered her 17 month old son. According to police, Christian Clark texted, sent pictures and videos of her murdering her young son to the father because she believed the father was cheating on her. These awful stories are rare but they do happen.
3 When She Uses Illegal Drugs
Women with addictions to illegal drugs are very likely to continue using them throughout their pregnancy if they don't receive the proper help or medications. At the very same time, stopping the drug use altogether can also be very dangerous causing the mother and growing baby to suffer harmful withdrawal symptoms. This is a difficult situation and always requires professional help. Sadly, more and more babies in the US are born addicted to illegal and prescription drugs. Babies born addicted to heroin or opioids often require morphine to deal with withdrawal and have to be slowly tapered off to prevent serious medical issues. There are thousands of children in America today who will face physical and mental difficulties because of the poor choices made by their mothers.
2 When She Gets Sick
During pregnancy, being sick is very different than when a woman is not carrying a child. A simple cold can linger much longer, the flu can land a mommy-to-be in the ER, and a simple mosquito bite can cause a rare birth defect in a newborn child. Most of the time, these illnesses can be prevented by washing hands, not getting too close to people who are ill, and taking vitamins. Even if some pregnant women get sick, they can get better on their own, but it just may take a little longer. However, in rare cases, if mommy-to-be gets sick, it can be very dangerous for her growing child. The Zika virus, carried by mosquitos, can cause Microcephaly - a neurological condition where babies are born with small heads and sometimes small brains.
1 When She Has The Baby Blues
A lot of people joke about the baby blues. We have all heard and seen the humorous stories of new moms crying at the drop of a hat because of a commercial, or crying about running out of oatmeal. The Baby Blues, or post-partum depression happens shortly after birth due to the major change in hormones that take place once a woman is no longer carrying a child. Most women have some form of post-partum depression with estimates ranging all the way up to 80% of new moms. The baby blues can have a wide-ranging affect from weepiness, to bouts of feeling blue, all the way to serious mental distress. Andrea Yates, found not guilty by reason of insanity, drowned all five of her children shortly after the birth of the fifth. She had previously been diagnosed with post-partum depression following the birth of another child and completely went off the deep end after having her 5th child and losing her father in the same time period. The tragic tale, unfortunately is not the only one of its kind.
If you or someone you know is having a rough time with pregnancy or being a new mother, get help.

O'Rourke: Shift back to blanket defence is on cards
Louth football manager Aidan O'Rourke is predicting a shift back to massed defences over the summer as counties come to terms with the effect of the black card.
O'Rourke said he has already seen evidence in recent challenge games that some teams are not going to expose themselves to the prospect of 'one-to-one' defending when the championship gets under way.
Record scores and a reduction of more than 50pc in the number of yellow cards during the group stages of the league led many to talk up the positive impact the black card has had on the game. However, O'Rourke, who has been a strident opponent of the black card, has not changed his belief that it will eventually lead to more numbers taking up defensive positions.
"In the games we've played, there's been a huge number of players in defence," he said. "With the lottery of refereeing at the moment, can you afford a one-on-one with a quality forward inside your '45'?
"I'm not sure you can if players aren't inclined to tackle. I think that's the way it's going to go."
O'Rourke argues that the black card has not made games more entertaining, despite the increase in scoring rates.
"I hear it repeated that scores are up, therefore we have a better product. I'm not sure who made that initial proclamation, that that's what gives you a better product," he said.
"I would feel we've handicapped defenders considerably. I do agree with the ethos that the black card was trying to get rid of cynical play, but I just feel we're almost at a basketball stage, where it goes up and down the court to see who scores the most.
"I understand why the people involved in the PR side of the game would want to push that. But the game is about tackling and defending as well.
"The biggest problem is mindset. Players are reluctant to make the tackles that they would have naturally made before," he said.
"Now maybe there'll be a time of transition and people will figure out a way to make the tackles that they would once have made.
"And that doesn't mean grabbing them by the neck or dragging them to the ground. It just means that they stand off and don't make contact. It's a physical game."
"As many people come to see the game for the physicality of it as much as the scores and wonderful attacking play. That is part of our game and part of our heritage.
"So, to try and adjust the mindset at the whim of somebody – I don't know who – is fundamentally flawed."

A survey of 1,580 low-carb consumers published in late 2017 by the Journal of Insulin Resistance45 found that while more than 11% of respondents reported using sleep-aids before beginning their low-carb diet, less than 5% reported using them after their diet. Moreover, nearly seven in 10 reported improved quality of sleep after dieting while only 3.4% said their sleep quality had worsened.

Advocates for the diet recommend that it be seriously considered after two medications have failed, as the chance of other drugs succeeding is only 10%.[9][31][32] The diet can be considered earlier for some epilepsy and genetic syndromes where it has shown particular usefulness. These include Dravet syndrome, infantile spasms, myoclonic-astatic epilepsy, and tuberous sclerosis complex.[9][33]

Recently, many of my patients have been asking about a ketogenic diet. Is a ketogenic diet safe? Would you recommend it? Despite the recent hype, a ketogenic diet is not something new. In medicine, we have been using it for almost 100 years to treat drug-resistant epilepsy, especially in children. In the 1970s, Dr. Atkins popularized his very-low-carbohydrate diet for weight loss that began with a very strict two-week ketogenic phase. Over the years, other fad diets incorporated a similar approach for weight loss.
Difficulty. Many experts question how long a person can realistically give up carbs. "This is a very restrictive diet that requires a drastic change in eating behaviors and even taste," says Sandra Arevalo, MPH, RDN, CDE, a certified diabetes educator and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. "It isn't very practical or easy to maintain, for people both with and without diabetes." That's not saying you can't stick with it, but before you commit, make a plan and set measurable goals to help you stay on track. Being prepared with the right foods can also help. Urbanski recommends making a shopping list that focuses on a few basic keto-friendly meals and snacks, so you'll always have the right foods on hand to ensure success.
Bulk buy and cook. If you're someone who doesn't like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, this is the best of both worlds. Buying your food at bulk (specifically from wholesalers) can reduce the cost per pound tremendously. Plus, you can make ahead food (bulk cook chicken thighs for pre-made meat, or cook entire meals) that are used as leftovers, so you spend less time cooking.
Our bodies are incredibly adaptive to what you put into it – when you overload it with fats and take away carbohydrates, it will begin to burn ketones as the primary energy source. Optimal ketone levels offer many health, weight loss, physical and mental performance benefits.1There are scientifically-backed studies that show the advantage of a low-carb, ketogenic diet over a low-fat diet. One meta-analysis of low-carbohydrate diets showed a large advantage in weight loss. The New England Journal of Medicine study resulted in almost double the weight loss in a long-term study on ketone inducing diets.
For many people, one of the more surprising side effects of starting a ketogenic diet is a bout with the "keto flu." How so? "When you go on this diet, your kidneys don't retain as much salt or water, which can lead to flu-like symptoms, such as fatigue and headache, or constipation," says Laura Saslow, PhD, an assistant professor at the University of Michigan School of Nursing. "But these are typically short-lived symptoms that can be prevented or treated by increasing your salt and water intake." However, if you have high blood pressure, speak with your doctor before adding more sodium to your diet. And know that the keto flu only lasts a week or two; symptoms typically subside once the body adjusts to the diet.
Of the 1,580 survey participants, more than half reported staying on a low-carb diet for at least one year, and 34% reported more than two years. Further, those on the diet for two years or more said that they had largely maintained their weight loss. This is a self-selected sample, with an obvious bias for people who are experiencing success (dieters are less inclined to report on their failures). However, this data does show that long-term adherence is possible.
Even when exercising at a submaximal level (for example, biking at a moderate speed), heart rate and adrenaline levels rise more when people are eating a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet[4] vs. a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet. This results in those on the high fat diet perceiving that they are working harder to achieve the same pace as the high-carbers, and they have much more difficulty speeding up their pace in sprints or climbs.
A ketogenic diet is high in fat and low in carbohydrates. It's called "ketogenic" because people on this diet shift from using glucose (a type of sugar) as their main fuel source to ketone bodies, which are derived from fat. In other words, people on the ketogenic diet can use their bodies' fat stores as fuel—and this is why many studies show that this diet is superior for sustainable weight loss.
Ketoacidosis, on the other hand, is dangerous. But it's usually limited to people with type 1 diabetes, striking when their glucose levels rise due to illness or a missed insulin dose. Without insulin, cells can't take in glucose, so they burn fat for fuel instead, producing exceptionally high ketone levels—much higher than the amount generated by the keto diet. That, in combination with high blood glucose levels, essentially poisons the blood. "It's very easy to tell the difference between nutritional ketosis, which has no negative symptoms [aside from 'keto breath,' which can smell like nail polish remover], and dietary ketoacidosis, which is an illness that requires hospitalization and causes lethargy, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, and lack of appetite," says William Yancy, MD, program director at the Duke Diet and Fitness Center in Durham, North Carolina.
I have great respect for Harvard Medical School. I notice that they support their readers posting comments and I am most appreciative of the article and all the many thoughtful comments by the readers. The readers seem to have the most expertise here and I hope that the doctor who wrote the article will think long and hard about the comments by readers. After 35 years of clinical practice in mental health, I notice that all issues of emotion involve medical issues, nutrition, and the gut bacteria. I would say that these issues and all of the executive brain functions seem to improve with ketogenic principles. For those that apply it in a flexible and smart manner, it appears to improve every area of their lives. I strongly encourage the author of the article to take one class via The Institute for Functional Medicine. If he is open to more learning he can take more classes and get certified. I'm sure a fine doctor, he will be an even better doctor and personally healthier, if he gets more training. Are we all open to new learning(especially us healthcare providers)?
Even in endurance sports that don't require sprinting, ketogenic-style diets are disadvantageous according to a ketogenic diet and exercise article published in Sports Medicine[5]: "a high-fat, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet may impair exercise performance via reducing the capacity to utilize carbohydrates, which forms a key fuel source for skeletal muscle during intense endurance-type exercise." The article concluded, "At present there are no data available to suggest that ingestion of ketone bodies during exercise improves athletes' performance under conditions where evidence-based nutritional strategies are applied appropriately."
It's a habit to enjoy a brie cheese for desert instead of a piece of chocolate cake but each are favored deserts in France. I'm personally more satisfied after a 350 calorie sized wedge of brie than the same number of calories of cake.. which will give me sugar crash and .. really I'd like two slices of cake(I've got a sweet tooth that once I get going it wants to keep being fed)
The low glycaemic index treatment (LGIT)[49] is an attempt to achieve the stable blood glucose levels seen in children on the classic ketogenic diet while using a much less restrictive regimen. The hypothesis is that stable blood glucose may be one of the mechanisms of action involved in the ketogenic diet,[9] which occurs because the absorption of the limited carbohydrates is slowed by the high fat content.[5] Although it is also a high-fat diet (with approximately 60% calories from fat),[5] the LGIT allows more carbohydrate than either the classic ketogenic diet or the modified Atkins diet, approximately 40–60 g per day.[18] However, the types of carbohydrates consumed are restricted to those that have a glycaemic index lower than 50. Like the modified Atkins diet, the LGIT is initiated and maintained at outpatient clinics and does not require precise weighing of food or intensive dietitian support. Both are offered at most centres that run ketogenic diet programmes, and in some centres they are often the primary dietary therapy for adolescents.[9]
Today, I am sought out all over the world to customize plans for people who want to use the ketogenic diet to strengthen their body, improve their brain and life performance and/or overcome chronic disease. This program is a result of putting all of my keto strategies together into one program so one could access it in a user friendly, visually appealing manner.
The benefits above are the most common ones. But there are others that are potentially even more surprising and – at least for some people – life changing. Did you know that a keto diet can help treat high blood pressure, may result in less acne, may help control migraine, might help with certain mental health issues and could have a few other potential benefits?

If that squirrel will spend all its money on avocados it'll never be able to save up for the deposit on a house.
Well, that's the young for you. Never think about the Tory future.
It's all about self gratification. Now, now, now, Me, me, me,

What? THAT much? Oh nuts!
Now, that is a hard-working squirrel from a just-managing squirrel family, not like that queue jumper pictured above.
Since you are here, Terry, I remember you wrote a blog about how the Swiss deal with drugs. As I can't get into your blog at the moment, I wonder if you could copy the article and email it to me.
I'd like to be reminded of how another sensible country deals with the problem!
I don't remember which specific post that might have been but I'll try to dig that out for you.
Hopefully have that tomorrow.
Thanks. I don't want to put you to too much trouble though. It was relatively recent… just a series of observations on how things worked in Canton Zurich, I guess.
But don't worry if you can't find it. It's just that drugs/drug deaths is a big thing here atm. The Scottish government is being blamed for the appalling figures of drug deaths in Scotland, which would be quite reasonable were it not that drug abuse laws and regulations are reserved to London.
I read a really interesting piece on what Portugal had done, and remembered that you had written about the situation in Switzerland.
My Mum always says that a change is as good as a rest. She's right on almost everything but on this one she's flat out wrong. The only thing that is as good as a rest is a rest. I've done the experiment and I've crunched the numbers and I can hereby report with scientific clarity that the only thing that is as good as a rest is another rest. Having said that, change is sometimes good. As it's nearly Christmas, I wanted to write a positive post about change. This is a politics blog so I thought I'd describe some of the things that I think are positive about daily life here in Switzerland to see if anyone would like to import them to a future iScotland. I'm not talking about really big, top-down economic decisions like interest rates or fiscal policy but more the kind of bottom-up policy choices that have a direct effect on life quality and can actually change the mood and timbre of a society. I'm just going to go through a few things that seemed a bit weird when I first moved to Zurich but now seem as normal as a giant bar of Toblerone. What do you all think? Would any of these improve life in iScotland?
I pay less rent today than I did eight years ago when I moved in to my flat. There are very strict rules imposed on landlords here in Zurich that limit their power to increase the rent. The monthly rent on all flats is tied to the interest rate set by the Swiss Central Bank. If the interest rates remain persistent for a fixed time above the rate on the date I moved in, the landlord is allowed to increase the rent according to a formula. Similarly, the tenant wins if the rates go down and stay that way. Interest rates have plummeted since 2009 so at the moment I'm very much a winner. If I moved out of the flat the landlord would be able to strike a new monthly rent (with some caveats to that) but I'm certainly not going to leave for as long as it effectively gets cheaper month by month. My landlord might be cursing my inertia but there's not much they can do about it because renters have persistent rights of residence: they can only kick me out if I stop paying the rent or the building is demolished. The world of renting is actually a world of strict rules. For example, everything in the flat from windows to wall paint has a value and a lifetime, meaning that when I move out the landlord can only claim damages out of my deposit by applying a mathematical formula. Paint has a lifetime of 8 years so the walls that were freshly painted in 2009 now have zero value and I can't be held financially responsible for fixing up the tiny scrapes and marks that built up over the years. There are strict rules about moving out on certain days, notice periods for improvements, responsibilities for internal and external pipes and so on. These rules strike a balance between landlord and tenant. My view is that they generally favour the rights of the tenant by providing stability and a legal set of standards and responsibilities. Sometimes rules turn out to be a good idea.
Pretty much everyone in Zurich rents their flat. As I already pointed out, renting comes with all sorts of legal protections that make it a generally good experience. It has to be pointed out, though, that ownership is beyond most people's pockets. I'm in the amazingly lucky position that I probably could go out and buy a place but I've so far opted not to do that. Why, then, am I not a property magnate? Well, property ownership comes with a significant tax burden. I would have to pay tax on the theoretical income I would earn if I rented out the property, even if I chose to live in it myself. Also, if I chose to sell the flat within 10 years of purchasing it I would be hit with a tax bill that would wipe out any profit I might have made. Ownership just isn't the no-brainer that it is in the UK. I believe that changes society for the better because it means that most Swiss people are not obsessed with house prices, they're not saddled with stressful debt, they don't spent public holidays at the DIY store (more of that later), and they have more spare time and money to do other activities (more of that later, too).
In Switzerland, if your last lightbulb blows on Saturday night you'll be sitting in the dark until Monday morning. That's right, everything is shut on Sunday. I'll be honest, this took a bit of getting used to but now I think it is a great idea. Scotland was actually a trailblazer on Sunday shopping but I now think it was a terrible move. It's a really great idea to save up one day for something special, something free from commercial stress. On Sundays what you see is Swiss people going out for leisurely strolls in the woods, families out roller-skating on the national roller-skating paths, cyclists huffing and puffing up and down hills, people on their balconies reading a book or playing a board game, and pensioners going for a boat trip on the lake. I quite often go for a cycle into the weird and wonderful countryside and I'll tell you now that without doing that I wouldn't have known about the strange ceremony where they dress the cows up all pretty with flowers and bring them down to the lower winter pastures. The DIY centre is most definitely not open for business and, anyway, bathroom grouting is the landlord's responsibility.
Those Swiss are obsessed with recycling. As a consequence, I'm now obsessed with recycling. The binmen will only take rubbish away if it is in a special sack that costs about £1.50. That is a lot of money for a solitary bin bag but we need to remember that it does include the price of collecting and managing the rubbish it contains. On the other hand, recycling is free so it pays to recycle rather than chuck it straight in the bin. There are collection points for textiles, batteries, aluminium, cardboard, paint, paper, and even water filters. Every year the council sends everyone a little magazine with the collection calendar, a map of all the collection points and information about how to protect the environment. There's even a special cargo tram that travels around the city to collect larger items of rubbish so as long as you can get it to a tram stop, you can recycle it without needing a car (more of that later).
I recently read an economic report that tried to explain Germany's unexpectedly low GDP per capita. I wish I could find the link but a summary might be that Germany has a lot of shared wealth that doesn't show up in direct measurements. German wealth isn't just the sum of individual wealth because huge amounts of national wealth are tied up in shared resources like trains and trams and roads and theatres and opera houses. You can be relatively poor in Germany but lead the life of a rich person in another country because you have access to all sorts of facilities and resources that would either be expensive or just not exist elsewhere. Personally, I don't mind paying tax if I can see the benefits all around me. Here in Zurich, I do see the benefits on a daily basis. The tram network didn't just magically appear, the workers painting and cleaning public spaces don't do it for free, and the opera house renovation wasn't an automatic transformation. There is nothing sadder than a dilapidated public space or a bus timetable pinned to the bus stop that is 3 years out of date or a swirling mess of discarded crisp bags blowing around George Square. Public spaces and resources are what bind us all together. Without them, society is just people sitting at home watching enormous TVs.
I really don't like cars. They clog up the roads, spew out all manner of pollutants, and knock people down all the time. Why not build an ever-expanding network of trams and electric buses and trains? Travelling on public transport around Switzerland and Germany and Austria is a pleasure rather than a chore. I never have to wait long and it's generally punctual and clean. Cars, on the other hand, are expensive to own due to targeted taxes. We don't need to wait for autonomous cars to solve our traffic problems because we already have the solution in the form of buses and trains and trams. Let's have more of them.
One thing I've noticed in the German-speaking world is that they take the countryside very seriously indeed. That includes everything from litter to clean rivers to strict planning restrictions. One of the saddest sights in Scotland is to see litter by the roadside or an ostentatious house planted where there ought to be an unspoiled view. I have no idea how to change social attitudes but it is the case that drink driving used to be just about acceptable and now it is a massive taboo.
The equivalent of council tax here is called Community Tax. This is a progressive taxation levied on income. Let's compare that with the weird UK system of levying a fixed charge on the inhabitants of a property rather than the owner. Which sounds fairer? My community is Zurich City so I probably live in one of the largest communities in the country. At the other end of the spectrum, some communities are just a hamlet and a few chickens. All of that means that a village in the back of beyond has more autonomy than the Scottish Parliament, which has been hilariously described as "the most powerful devolved parliament in the world". In addition to progressive taxation, I also pay wealth tax. If I own a lot of assets or hold a lot of cash I need to pay tax on them. I'd hardly describe Switzerland as a hotbed of radical socialism but in many ways its tax system is far more egalitarian than in the UK. One last thing is that the UK typically has 3 or 4 income tax bands. That might have made sense in the days of ledgers and quills but we have computers now. Swiss federal tax, for example, has about 12 tax bands so getting a moderate pay rise doesn't suddenly lift you from 20% to 40% tax.
Long-term unemployment is a genuine tragedy in any country. Short-term unemployment, however, is pretty much a necessity in a dynamic economy because companies that can no longer compete should be replaced with newer ones better equipped for the changing times. Before anyone yells at me, I've worked for enough failed companies in my time to know that it pays to keep your curriculum vitae up to date. Given that short-term unemployment is a constant factor in a dynamic economy it ought not be something to fear. In the UK, sadly, it is something to fear because family income levels fall off a cliff after transitioning from paid work to unemployment benefit. That's a shame because governments ought to be encouraging workers to take risks in new fields and businesses. The benefits system actually encourages a sclerotic economy by punishing anyone who dares to take a risk on anything that doesn't maximise income stability. In many other countries, however, short-term unemployment is an annoyance rather than a fear because unemployment income levels are pegged to employed salary rather than to a fixed rate. If I lose my job I will qualify for 18 months of employment insurance that will pay 70% of my current salary. I can't remember the exact details but I think that is capped at 100,000CHF (around £70k). For most people, life will go along as normal. Perhaps there will be fewer holidays and meals out but the basic necessities will be covered. After 18 months, though, the credit will run out and anyone still unemployed will be pushed on to the Social Help Programme. That is when the social safety net of long-term unemployment kicks in. The council will allot me a place to live and provide for me in a way that meets the constitutional requirement of being able to participate in society. I honestly don't want to end up there because although I won't go hungry or homeless, I will lose autonomy over my own financial decisions. I have to say that I sometimes think the long-term unemployed are a little bit neglected. By that I mean that the state no longer really makes real demands on them to look for a job or provides much help to achieve that goal. It feels a bit like they've given up on them and will now make sure they don't cause a nuisance (more of that later). Despite that, it's still better than a food bank.
Switzerland is a very pragmatic place. Some might even say that it takes utilitarian decisions. Let me explain. Drugs policy here is really quite liberal but in some ways it mirrors the long-term unemployment strategy. If you're a heroin addict you can go to a treatment centre where they will give you actual heroin under the condition that you must take it there and then. The idea here is to stop the associated criminality rather than the addiction. There's no need for drug addicts to break into houses to fund their habit and there are no opportunities for dealers to build a business because the state has undercut them. The same sort of thinking lies behind Zurich's approach to prostitution. They took the view that they can't stop it happening but they can limit the associated criminality by effectively acting as bordello managers. There is even a drive-thru facility run by the council. This would never happen in the UK because dogmatism would trump pragmatism. There's an argument that the state shouldn't act as drug dealer but the counter argument is that people who aren't addicts shouldn't have their lives blighted by it. After all, it's not as though the dangers of drugs are a state secret. There's also an argument that it would be better if sex workers had better opportunities but then again there is also an argument that they shouldn't be beaten up at work or have their money stolen off them or trafficked. I tend to favour the pragmatic approach. Certainly, if you wander around Zurich city centre in the summer you'll smell the sweet and smoky aroma of, erm, pragmatism.
Switzerland is a land of small, local government. It's not just that they take pride in being organised but that they also work at scales that allow them to be organised. Local decisions are made by local people who understand local needs. If something breaks, the chain of responsibility involved to get it fixed is mercifully short. There is also competition between all of the communities and cantons. They all need to organise themselves so that they maintain population and income and to do that they need to find the right balance of services and taxation. It makes for a kind of mini market place in decision making. Policy changes that work out for the best can be replicated by neighbouring communities and cantons, while failed experiments (like the late 80s drugs amnesty park opposite Zurich main station) can be quietly abandoned. It's important to note that the federal government controls the border, the army and the currency but not really much else. Someone tell that to Gordon Brown.
Switzerland is not a paradise. It has plenty of pros but also plenty of cons. I'm lucky to live in a community with a red-green coalition but life might be quite different in some of the more conservative rural areas where they prefer their own cows to strangers from the next village. They won't tell you to get back to your own village but once you've gone they will definitely mutter something about how the people of Unterschoeneggli are not as upstanding as the villagers of Oberschoeneggli.
Would any of these ideas make iScotland a better place? Would they make sense in Scotland at all? What kind of bottom-up policy changes would make Scotland function better?
Yours Aye,
Terry that was fascinating though my mind boggles at drive thru brothels or was it drive through drug rooms???
I think a lot of what you said would work in an independent Scotland though given the number of current home owners I don't think it makes sense to make house owning prohibitive. But safer ,more secure renting sure works.
As Lesley Riddoch has said there are plenty of places that have more devolution than Scotland. In fact Scotland doesn't even have the most devolution in the UK. When it sits, Stormont has more, including control over corporation tax.
No place is perfect but the Swiss have it better than most.
I am happy to report that drug addicts don't drive away in a car after getting their fix.
Switzerland is a confederation so it's more a question of Cantons choosing to cede competences to the Federal government than the Federal government devolving it.
The drive-thru brothels are kind of insane but they are also very, very Swiss in that orderliness is maintained at all times.
Thanks, Terry.

My limited knowledge of structural engineering tells me the Norwegian roof forest is not sustainable.
Not in it's present elevated position.
I suspect that it will , by gravity, move to a lower level, the basement is the best bet.

Sorry to bring in a name that spoils the SS, I'm off to stand on the naughty step.
Aye well they were braw. Lovely to see a gorilla on SS, bit of a rarity here. They are the first great apes to have evolved in Africa, though they are younger as a species than their Asian cousins. The two gorilla species – lowland and mountain – are critically endangered.
In fact only one great apes species is thriving, well a bit pestilent actually and it's the most dangerous of them all. Answers on a postcard or comment.
Anyway since Ed hasn't been I'll say t'was just life-affirming to view them pictures so it was.
Amazing. I wonder what instinct made these presumably abandoned cats swim out on a lake to humans in a boat…
Aww that's great…
Munguin aims to please. 🙂
So nobody has made a guess for my quiz question. So too easy and not worth bothering or too hard. Maybe Munguin knows. Conan would know with his librarian knowledge…
PP, would the answer be Homo sapiens – the not so great ape?
PP……I didn't ignore your question. I just didn't realize that I knew the answer. 😉 (I always have the disadvantage of a six hour time delay of course.)
You'll have to get up earlier, Danny.
Otherwise you risk missing the opportunity to win these prizes that we offer.
Someone once won a weekend in the Clyde tunnel with Jackie Baillie.
OMG Tris!!! That reminds me of what is said to have been an old joke used by comics on the vaudeville circuit:
"I just won first prize in a holiday contest! An all-expense-paid week in Philadelphia!"
"Oh really?! What was second prize?"
"TWO weeks in Philadelphia."
An oldie but a goodie! 😉
Ha ha… I did once use that, Danny. The second prize was a fortnight in the Clyde tunnel with Jackie Baillie!
Clearly the Vaudeville comics pinched it from me… erm, I think 🙂
Hmmmm… I'll look into that, although, as a republican (with a small r) I'd rather just take the money!
Tris……LOL……..I appreciate the "small r" description for my benefit. This is usually not required in the UK of course, but Americans are always having to say "small r" and "small d" to separate the political concepts of republican and democratic from the political party organizations.
"Republican"is even complicated as a party name, since the party that grew up around Thomas Jefferson….(in opposition to his bitter political enemies John Adams and Alexander Hamilton, who led the Federalists)……..was called the "Democratic-Republican" Party. The members of Jefferson's party were often just called "Jeffersonians", but were also often called REPUBLICANS. It became even more complicated in 1824-1828, when the Democratic-Republican party splintered into the "Democratic Party" (called Democrats) and the "National Republican Party" (called REPUBLICANS). But further naming confusion was in store. The old National Republicans have no relationship to the party of disaffected Democrats, Whigs, and abolitionists who met in Wisconsin and Michigan in 1854-1856 and formed a party in opposition to the Kansas-Nebraska act and the expansion of slavery into the new territories of the West. Abraham Lincoln down in Illinois left the Whig Party, joined the newly formed Republicans, and the rest is history. These are the modern day REPUBLICANS that Trump calls himself. 😉
So, with a direct ancestral line back to Tom Jefferson, is today's Democratic Party the oldest continuously active political party on earth….as it's usually described? Looks like that's pretty much true, all things considered, although the Brits might quibble on an historical point or two. They have old parties too.
I enjoyed this article about the matter:
Where is that Canadian Whitewater.
Did some myself years ago (mainly Quebec and Ontario) but that stuff would have been above my pay grade.
I think that this is it.
I think it would be above my pay grade too.
Actually the local boating pond is above my pay grade!
That's a nice looking Speckled Tanager, but the sorriest looking bunch of bananas I've ever seen. Long past the sell-by date surely.
The appearance of what may be bird damage to one of the bananas brings to mind a paper published last year in the BMC Journal of Evolutionary Biology, co-authored by Dr. Daniel Field at the Milner Centre for Evolution of the University of Bath, in collaboration with Dr Allison Hsiang from The Swedish Museum of Natural History. The title is: "A North American stem turaco, and the complex biogeographic history of modern birds."
Fossil evidence indicates that "banana eater" birds of sub-Saharan Africa lived in North America 52 million years ago. Drs. Field and Hsiang declare that "Our phylogenetic analyses support the enigmatic fossil bird Foro panarium Olson 1992 from the early Eocene (Wasatchian) of Wyoming as a stem turaco (Neornithes: Pan-Musophagidae), a clade that is presently endemic to sub-Saharan Africa," and conclude that "in the Palaeogene, total-clade Musophagidae was distributed well outside the range of crown Musophagidae in the present day."
The news was reported by the BBC:
There are 11,000 species of the bird family Musophagidae (literally "banana-eaters"); sadly, none of them residing in North America anymore.
The Great blue turaco (Corythaeola cristata) is a fine looking bird:
Not only does one learn something new on MNR every week, but some of it is damned serious stuff.
There are some real beauties on there. I know that 50 million years is a long time, but, goodness me the climate in Wyoming and in most of Africa, would have a job being much more different, the one from the other.

|Informazioni su freekick
0.63 [Tomasz Slanina]
- 0.150: Kevin Eshbach and The Dumping Union added clone Free Kick (bootleg set 3). Minor doc update about the Sega setting enabling Japanese text on the "continue" screen [Brian Troha]. Documented some PALs in clone Free Kick (bootleg set 1) that need to be dumped [Kevin Eschbach].
- 0.146u3: Andrew Welburn, The Dumping Union and Charles MacDonald added clone Free Kick (NS6201-A 1987.9). Changed parent description to 'Free Kick (NS6201-A 1987.10)'. Renamed (freekickb) to (freekickb1).
- 7th July 2012: Charles MacDonald - I've dumped an alternate version of Free Kick and Exciting Black Jack. Free Kick was an older version (1987.9) which the two bootlegs were derived from, so all known version of the game are now dumped. Exciting Black Jack utilized the custom CPU module in new ways that lead to the discovery of more memory mode quirks and an external memory mode select. I've updated my notes about it here: http://cgfm2.emuviews.com/txt/freekick.txt. All that's left to dump are Counter Run and Lucky 74, both of which are already in the possession of other MAME developers.
- 0.143u5: Charles MacDonald and The Dumping Union fixed Free Kick - Game now playable. Added maincpu rom (ns6201-a_1987.10_free_kick.cpu - 52k).
- 8th October 2011: Charles MacDonald - I've been running a lot of tests on Free Kick to understand how various functions of the NS6201 security module work. Here's a complete description of it: http://cgfm2.emuviews.com/txt/freekick.txt
- 5th September 2011: Charles MacDonald - Free Kick dumped: I ran Free Kick in single-step mode up until a point where the stack pointer was initialized to a known value, than triggered repeated NMIs to push the stack pointer down past zero, wrapping around the address space into the external memory area. This is the only place where activity on the Z80 bus can be monitored. The NMI routine was allowed to finish instead of being interrupted again. At a point where it calls a leaf function, the return address was modified to point to a fragment of the IRQ handler which pops several registers off the stack before returning. This let BC, DE, and HL to be set to user-specified values, followed by another modified return address that pointed to a single LDIR instruction. A block transfer was performed that copied the internal RAM data to the external memory area in 4K chunks, and the process was automated to dump the entire content of security module correctly. It's satisfying to have this game dumped after working on it for quite some time, and this outcome certainly justified the time spent developing the Z80 analysis board. Here's hoping Counter Run can be dumped in a similar way. Does anyone have an original (non-bootleg) version of Counter Run they could lend for attempted dumping?
- 20th June 2010: Charles MacDonald - I've been investigating Free Kick, an arcade game that uses a security module in place of the CPU. Currently the bootleg version is emulated in MAME. Photos of a disassembled module show four, possibly five chip dies on one side and what is likely a Fujitsu MB3771 on the other side. One of the dies has an exceptionally high pin count and connects directly to the Z80 related pins, so it may be a Z180 (HD647180). Because of these direct connections there are probably no buffers in place to isolate internal bus activity from the outside world. However monitoring the data and control bus has not yielded any clear results. The module has an internal CR2032 battery that powers some SRAM which contains the game's program code. If the battery dies the module still functions and will print a "PROGRAM ERROR" message, so there must be internal ROM (the HD647180 has 16K of built-in ROM) that contains a start-up program which validates the SRAM before passing control to it. Typically for high score retention, the work RAM of a game is powered by a battery. Free Kick has such a battery, but it only connects to the module and not to any of the RAMs. If you consider that the bootleg games replace the security module with a daughterboard that has an EPROM for the program code and a 8Kx8 RAM, it seems likely that the work RAM is inside the module and is powered by the external battery. Since the power supplies are split across two batteries, I don't think the work RAM and program code RAM are the same chip but are two separate ones. When the module is removed from the board a number of pins have measureable voltages on them. These pins may have pull-up resistors to the internal battery. RSTOUT# is the output of the MB3771 which resets the 82C255 and a '259 latch on the PCB. The PCB has a RC reset circuit which connects to the reset input of the module. The MB3771 is probably used to disable the write inputs of the work RAM (and program RAM) when no +5V source is supplied. All Z80 address and data pins as well as RD#, WR#, MREQ#, and what I believe is IORQ# measure 0.009V which could be due to some kind of leakage, say from the program code RAM through the ESD protection diodes of the Z180 data and address bus. The pin that should be M1# is used to directly set a flip-flop which triggers the 120 Hz video interrupt. If this signal was a combination of IORQ# and M1# then that would indicate an interrupt acknowledge cycle and this connection would make sense. If it is just M1# directly then the interrupt acknowledge won't work as intended, instead any opcode fetch after the interrupt flip-flop has been set will clear it. It's hard to tell if that is intentional or not. For some reason one bootleg drives this same signal when a specific memory range is read or written which does not seem like compatible behavior. I made a circuit that requested the bus using the BUSREQ# and BUSACK# pins, and was able to halt the CPU while it ran the internal ROM program. In addition the WAIT# input is usable as it connects to the four SN76489s on the main board to cause wait states to lengthen PSG writes. I think these can be used to probe the internal memory space of the module, or if that failed, log internal bus activity. I'm developing some hardare to assist with that but it is still at an early phase. Assistance needed: If anybody has a bootleg of Free Kick or Counter Run with a daughterboard, I need to get some connections verified by using the continuity test function of a multimeter. It doesn't matter if the game works or not, and you don't have to power it up. Any bootleg will work, there are several different types. Please contact me if you can help.
- 0.136u3: Renamed (freekcb2) to (freekickb2) and (freekckb) to (freekickb).
- 0.126u5: David Haywood added clone Free Kick (bootleg set 2). Changed description of clone '(bootleg)' to 'Free Kick (bootleg set 1)'.
- 0.126u3: Brian Troha verified Free Kick PROMs and improved documentation. Fixed proms names.
- 0.105u5: Added 2nd button.
- 8th February 2005: f205v dumped Free Kick (bootleg set 2).
- 0.63: Tomasz Slanina added Free Kick (Nihon System 1987 (Sega license)) and clone (bootleg). NOTES: Currently only the freekick bootleg roms are included the Free Kick bootleg roms are the same as one of the other sets + an extra 64k ram dump from protection device. The main program rom is unused, is it a dummy or just something to active the protection device? The sound ROM contains a Z80 program, but there isn't a sound CPU and that program isn't executed. Instead, the main CPU reads the sound program through an 8255 PPI and plays sounds directly.
- 28th December 2002: Nicola Salmoria added sound and fixed inputs and flip screen in Free Kick.
- 23rd December 2002: Tomasz Slanina added a bootleg of Free Kick that works unlike the original which is missing some program code.
- 21st February 1999: Malcor dumped Free Kick.
