Measurements at particle collider experiments, even if primarily aimed at understanding Standard Model processes, can have a high degree of model independence, and implicitly contain information about potential contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. The CONTUR package allows users to benefit from the hundreds of measurements preserved in the RIVET library to test new models against the bank of LHC measurements to date. This method has proven to be very effective in several recent publications from the CONTUR team, but ultimately, for this approach to be successful, the authors believe that the CONTUR tool needs to be accessible to the wider high energy physics community. As such, this manual accompanies the first user-facing version: CONTUR v2. It describes the design choices that have been made, as well as detailing pitfalls and common issues to avoid. The authors hope that with the help of this documentation, external groups will be able to run their own CONTUR studies, for example when proposing a new model, or pitching a new search.

Turning to psychiatric indications, which occurred in 93 out of 100 terminations at Cambridge, one cannot help asking what good-if any-came of these operations. Personally I would agree with Dr. Myre Sim's conclusion that at present there are no psychiatric indications. As Hemphill' has written, " Depression, mania and schizophrenia are the only important forms of psychosis in pregnancy, which is comparatively rare anyway.. .. Termination, although often requested, can rarely be justified on psychiatric grounds." Perhaps Professor Rhodes (7 May, p. 1168) gets nearer the mark when he wonders " if we may not be in danger of losing sight of the fact that there are other solutions than termination of pregnancy in the psychiatrically ill pregnant woman." So much rubbish has been talked and written about abortion that it is exceedingly difficult to differentiate fact from fantasy. But it is high time that there was an end to the completely mistaken idea that only the rich are in a position to obtain medical justice. Medically and psychiatrically therapeutic abortion is seldom indicated because it is very seldom indeed that it does any medical good. In the very few cases where it does so, the patient will have no difficulty whatsoever in obtaining assistance under the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
