It depends on the age of the fetus, and the local laws. In the Netherlands where I live the fetus is by law not considered a baby (not sure on the terminology) until the 24th week of pregnancy, so anything before that is considered not to be a human body (again, by law).

Belgium has "jannewarie" for the Flemish part, and "djanvi" for the Wallon part (I could have been more clear on that). It seems this map mixes official language spellings with phonetic dialect spellings.

I'm Dutch, not Belgian. I was also referring to "jannewarie" as the phonetic spelling of "januari", which is placed over parts of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Looks like I made an unintentional joke!

Took out the old kitchen and the ceiling in that room, redid the plumbing and electrical work, am now installing the new ceiling. New kitchen arrives in a week, so everything should be ready by then.

Why on earth did they put the phonetic spelling of "januari" for northern Belgium?

Not sure if we're not ready to hear this. The whole world is not ready for many future challenges.

Its just their culture

You're kidding right? Also, the bulk of the people in North America have European roots, so they'd have the same culture since they share the folklore.

In some cases, the wealth might simple be gone because the stock crashes of which the bulk of the wealth is built.

I liked the first book in the Dresden files a lot, but by the third book found them very formulaic. During the third book it occurred to me that with this pacing, Dresden would probably start the fifth book dead, get gradually worse from there, but in the end prevail.

Charles Stross' Laundry files I liked a lot, the mix of real world spie agencies with ancient horrors really makes a nice stage with some great humor. I didn't read the "new management" books though, I started reading "dead lies dreaming" but put it aside after a few pages. I might return to it later, I'm not sure but something put me off about it the first time.
