Reject Senate Resolution 80, and all others which seek to tamper with College Board educational standards.
This petition had 6,025 supporters
Zachary Cloud started this petition to Georgia General Assembly and 6 others
Any society which has at its core the principles of freedom and equality must set out to preserve those ideals by protecting the rights of its members. Our constitution explicitly guarantees many individual liberties, such as equal protection under the law as well as the freedoms of speech, religion, and assembly. For a society thus established to maintain these principles, however, other rights not explicitly declared in the constitution must also be protected. First among these is the right to a thorough and impartial education, without which the preservation of a fair and free society is untenable. An education grounded in facts, critical analysis, and intellectual rigor is crucial for both the advancement of the individual and the development of society.
It is with this in mind that we respectfully protest the introduction of Senate Resolution 80 into the Georgia state senate. This resolution challenges the standards created by the College Board for the Advanced Placement United States History course. The resolution claims that the current course negatively misrepresents American history, thereby leading students to have a twisted view of the past. The resolution prescribes the removal of state funding from AP United States History as a solution to these complaints, and a subsequent replacement of Advanced Placement classes with state oriented equivalents.
The enactment of this resolution would have drastic implications for both individual students and for the entire educational system of Georgia. Firstly, the standards created by the College Board are designed specifically to deliver a college level education to high school students. Therefore, these standards are recognized as rigorous, thorough, and fair by the grand majority of higher educational institutions in the United States. To ignore these standards of higher learning which govern the majority of our nation is to relegate Georgia to a provincial level of educational practices and put its students at a disadvantage. A refusal to provide an AP level education is highly damaging to the students of the state, especially for those students who are limited to AP courses as their only source of advanced curriculum. Advanced Placement classes are a crucial component of education for those who wish to compete on a national level, with many advanced colleges viewing them as an essential prerequisite for admittance. Many of the highest achieving schools in the state are those that offer a multitude of AP classes. If these classes were to be regulated by state standards, then Georgia students would be left in the dust, and our highest achieving students would have fewer academic opportunities.
From an intellectual standpoint, one of the most disturbing qualities of the resolution is its aim to disguise the more disgraceful portions of United States history with a veneer of patriotism. If we fail to recognize those contemptible moments which have occurred in the history of the United States, and even more specifically those that have occurred in the state of Georgia, then it is impossible for us to gain any understanding of these events. A curriculum that glorifies Washington crossing the Delaware but ignores the horrific Trail of Tears or the racialized tyranny that was the Jim Crow South does not train better citizens, and it most certainly does not cultivate a better educational system in our state. George Santayana once wrote, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." If we refuse to acknowledge our failures it makes it impossible for us to truly appreciate our successes, and it inevitably leads us to further mistakes, which our generation can ill afford to make.
Learning about these dark points in our history does not make students unpatriotic. It makes them understand that our nation, like all things made by humans, is not perfect. It teaches students how citizens before us have both triumphed and failed, and focusing on those failures teaches us how to make the modern United States a better place. A partisan interpretation of history, such as the role of idealism in the settling of America (as opposed to an economic analysis), is an unsustainable pedagogy. It reflects an unneeded intervention by government in our apolitical learning environment. If students are given a polar view of history, they will independently seek out the other side, and in doing so develop disillusionment towards the education system of a nation that appears to be burying its mistakes. We as students will have more respect for our nation if its leaders have the strength to admit they were not always right.
Political misrepresentation of education not only skews students' understanding of the material, but also disadvantages Georgia students on the national level. It is for these reasons that we, as students of Georgia, oppose the passage of Senate Resolution 80, and the arguments upon which it is constructed, and so petition our elected officials to do the same.

Man acquitted of murder charges after spending 28 years in jail
BiharIndiaOddly
By Bihar Post Desk On Apr 23, 2022

PATNA—In an incident highlighting the state of the justice delivery system in the country, a youth spent the prime time of his life in jail for the crime he had never committed and by the time he was acquitted by the court for lack of any evidence, he had turned 58—hairs turning grey, wrinkles visible on his face and the joy of acquittal completely missing from countenance. He had been arrested while he was 28-year-old and was released from the jail only after spending 28 years there!
This is the story in nutshell of 58-year-old Birbal Bhagat who was acquitted of kidnapping-cum-murder charges by the district and sessions court judge, Gopalganj, Vishwa Vibhuti Gupta yesterday for lack of evidence. An emotional Birbal broke down in the court and hugely thanked God for "ultimately delivery justice" on him in the end.
The undertrial prisoner didn't come out of the jail even for a single day after being arrested for murder charge in January 1994. The saddest part of his story was that his family too completely abandoned him after believing the police theory which turned out to be "fake" in the end. Let aside filing bail petition for his release, they didn't even come to ever meet him in prison.
The police arrested Birbal, a resident of Deoria district in Uttar Pradesh, shortly after a villager from Gopalganj district had gone missing and his family identified an abandoned body as that of the missing kin on the basis of an old photograph shown by the police. According to court officials, Birbal had accompanied a Gopalganj resident Surya Narayan Bhagat to reach Muzaffarpur for some works but he went missing and that turned his life into a virtual hell.
Reports said initially his case was put for speedy trial but later its trial got badly disrupted due to closure of the fast track court for long. The trial of this case picked up speed only recently when the case was transferred to the court of the district and sessions judge. During the course of the trail, neither the police presented its his point nor the case's investigating officer and the doctor who performed the autopsy appeared in the court.
"Eventually, the court acquitted the undertrial prisoner of murder charges for lack of evidence," additional public prosecutor Pervez Hsan told newsmen today. "The God listened to my prayers finally… I am a relieved person now as the taint of murder accusation has been finally removed from my face due to the court judgment," he said. But he also expressed deep anguish over the way his kin left him to die in jail and didn't come to meet him even once after his arrest in the case.

The big news about last month's elections focused on control of the House of Representatives. That is indeed important, but some other noteworthy developments occurred that shouldn't be overlooked.
One of them took place in Arizona, where a determined coalition of public school advocates beat back an effort to expand vouchers in that state. In an impressive victory, Save Our Schools Arizona blocked an expansion of vouchers decisively, 65 percent to 35 percent.
Legislators in Arizona had initially passed a voucher plan aimed at students with special needs. A study showed that the plan was rife with problems. Some parents who were already living in areas with high-performing public schools were using vouchers to enroll their children in private schools at taxpayer expense. The program was also plagued by lax oversight. Nevertheless, last year, lawmakers voted to extend it to any student in the state.
The program was a real threat to public education, and some residents saw it as the first step toward privatization of secondary education in the state. They decided they'd had enough, so they gathered signatures and put Proposition 305 on the ballot. And on election night, they won a clear victory.

Trump, like ISIS, drawing support from people hungry for change: Phannenhour
(Screenshot: donaldjtrump.com)
BY DANIEL PHANNENHOUR
News from a war-zone tends to be tainted with considerable self-promoting propaganda. We can be pardoned, then, for taking recent reports of success in the military action against the so-called Islamic State with a rather large grain of salt. The city of Mosul was retaken by allied forces, but in most other areas the "State" continues to exercise its firm grip on power. The State's international influence, including its ability both to recruit foreign fighters to its cause and to inspire and organize terror actions abroad, continues unabated. Most analysts have already concluded that the State's defeat and destruction would only make room for a resurgent Al Qaeda.
The underlying issues that give rise to the Islamic State, Al Qaeda, and their allies cannot be addressed through military action alone. No matter how many militants are killed, more arise to take their place. What mystifies many is the ability of these terror groups to recruit members, not only from disaffected populations in the Middle East, but also from relatively privileged backgrounds in many countries of Europe and North America. What attracts such people to participate in these desperate expressions of mayhem and destruction?
For the answer to that question we can look, not only to what is left of Syria and Iraq, but also, ironically, to the United States of America because the same laws of attraction are working to support the campaign of a candidate thought to be the one least likely to qualify for the Office of President. Donald Trump and the Islamic State appeal to similar people in similar circumstances using similar methods.
Donald Trump is the dark horse candidate who has pulled into the lead, at least for now, not because he offers well considered policies, nor because he is particularly skilled at communicating those policies.
Great new numbers. Thank you! #MakeAmericaGreatAgain #Trump2016 https://t.co/Z1lQdxQvRL pic.twitter.com/GFYNUWWCYn
He leads in the polls because he is promising drastic change in a nation desperate for change. He is the only candidate offering an alternative to the seemingly endless Bush-Clinton dynasty that has turned the American political system into an imperial aristocracy not seen since the glory days of Rome. The Bush and Clinton families merely offer different flavours of the same corporate capitalist agenda that is not only further impoverishing the poor, it is also strangling the middle-classes, and their hopes for achieving at least a modicum of prosperity. Donald Trump does not offer any policies that might appeal to these people struggling to retain what status and security they have left. He does not have to make such an offer. He simply represents a change for people who feel they have nothing left to lose.
Donald Trump is not a conservative. He is not obtaining his support from traditional conservative elites, but from the disenchanted and disenfranchised people who consider themselves to be holding on for dear life to the middle-class American dream. They are radicalized centrists who, in prosperous times would have been courted by the big tent parties with a combination of social programming and a levelling of economic opportunity. These people have now been victimized and bypassed on the road to prosperity to the point that heroin addiction has reached epidemic proportions, not only in urban centres, but in small towns and rural communities throughout the land.
Donald Trump, the most unlikely of candidates is gaining popularity among the most unlikely of people because he represents a change from this continuing saga of alienation, despair, and uncertainty. His supporters do not pay attention to the particular details of his policy pronouncements. They do not care what he intends to do. They only want to see him embody the change that will disrupt the system that has left them behind.
Similarly, the Islamic State draws its support from people hungry for any kind of effective change. Do they pay attention to the theological precepts expounded by the movement's leaders? Are they particularly drawn to this or any other interpretation of Islam? I would doubt that they have given these underlying concepts much thought.
What attracts desperate people to the Islamic State, and other similar organizations, is the promise of drastic and disruptive change. The appeal of the Islamic State stems from its very ability to influence world events and decisions. Its violence and destruction offer the opportunity to make a difference and to imagine an outcome different from the disdain, dismissal, and insignificance that their supporters have always known. The Islamic State gives its supporters from many countries the opportunity to stand up and be counted.
Adolf Hitler attracted desperate people in the same way in Germany in the 1930's. Very few people supported the racist and aggressive policies of the Nazi Party, but Hitler symbolized drastic and disruptive change for people who felt disenfranchised and alienated by the economic collapse of the country. A study of voting patterns in 1930's Germany shows that Adolph Hitler received his support not from right wing conservatives, but from disaffected and disenchanted middle-class voters who saw very little hope for their future. They voted for Hitler, regardless of his policies, because he represented the change that would disrupt the current order and make room for new opportunities.
Both Donald Trump and the Islamic State also offer an effective – if chaotic – opportunity to disrupt the current political system. Will either of them achieve the regrettable success enjoyed briefly by Hitler? 2016 promises to be a fearfully interesting year indeed.

HomeMovies'Echo' Writer Says the Show May Be Delayed
'Echo' Writer Says the Show May Be Delayed
Marion Dayre, the head writer behind Marvel's upcoming Echo series, has announced that the show might be just a little late. Of course, everyone is eager for Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase Five to begin. While a good few movies and series are running on schedule, others are experiencing some delays. When you have a giant cinematic universe, there's really no way to guarantee that everything will always proceed according to plan.
Ever since Alaqua Cox first appeared as Echo in Hawkeye, Marvel fans have been eager to see more. Those familiar with the comics also know some very interesting elements of her story. She's an adopted daughter of Kingpin, and she also shows up in Daredevil comics. She's deaf and also a force to be reckoned with when it comes to combat.
The Echo series was initially announced with a tentative release date of the summer of 2023. But on Ben Blackers' Writers' Panel podcast, Marion Dayre shared a few details about the show. It appears the series will not appear for about a year — which would put it somewhere in the fall or winter of 2023. She also explained that her time writing on Better Call Saul informed her workflow for Marvel. She said:
You do sort of a general overall break, and then we lay out some arcs, and then we go back in and brick by brick. There just simply was not enough time to do it that way. So it was sort of grabbing things from, like The Act, which was a limited series on Hulu, which we broke fairly quickly, so taking some of that, you know, laying out some tent poles that we more or less stuck with and shifting them around with the way that we did.
Hopefully we will see Echo on Disney+ in late 2023.

Safety of oral bisphosphonates in moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease: a bi-national cohort analysis.
Robinson DE., Ali MS., Pallares N., Tebé C., Elhussein L., Abrahamsen B., Arden NK., Ben-Shlomo Y., Caskey FJ., Cooper C., Dedman D., Delmestri A., Judge A., Pérez-Sáez MJ., Pascual J., Nogues X., Diez-Perez A., Strauss VY., Javaid MK., Prieto-Alhambra D.
Bisphosphonates are the first-line treatment for preventing fractures in osteoporosis patients. However, their use is contraindicated or to be used with caution in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, primarily due to a lack of information about their safety and effectiveness. We aimed to investigate the safety of oral bisphosphonates in patients with moderate-to-severe CKD. Using primary-care electronic records from two cohorts, CPRD GOLD (1997-2016) and SIDIAP (2007-2015) in the UK and Catalonia, respectively. Both databases were linked to hospital records. SIDIAP was also linked to end-stage renal disease registry data. Patients with CKD stage 3b-5, based on 2 or more estimated glomerular filtration rate measurements less than 45 ml/min/1.73m2 , aged 40 years or older were identified. New bisphosphonate users were propensity-score-matched with up to five non-users to minimise confounding within this population. Our primary outcome was CKD stage worsening (eGFR decline or renal replacement therapy). Secondary outcomes were acute kidney injury, gastrointestinal bleeding/ulcers, and severe hypocalcaemia. Hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated using Cox regression and Fine and Gray sub-HRs were calculated for competing risks. We matched 2,447 bisphosphonate users with 8,931 non-users from CPRD and 1,399 users with 6,547 non-users from SIDIAP. Bisphosphonate use was associated with greater risk of CKD progression in CPRD (HR [95% CI]: 1.14 [1.04, 1.26]) and SIDIAP (HR: 1.15 [1.04, 1.27]). No risk differences were found for acute kidney injury, gastrointestinal bleeding/ulcers, or hypocalcaemia. Hence, we can conclude a modest (15%) increased risk of CKD progression was identified in association with bisphosphonate use. No other safety concerns were identified. Our findings should be considered before prescribing bisphosphonates to patients with moderate-to-severe CKD.

è un videogioco di tipo picchiaduro a incontri sviluppato e pubblicato nel 1993 dalla SNK Playmore.

Fatal Fury Special è una versione migliorata di Fatal Fury 2, seguendo il modello già sperimentato con Street Fighter II: Champions Edition pubblicato l'anno precedente da Capcom.

La critica tende a considerarlo uno dei migliori titoli appartenenti alla serie Fatal Fury.

Modalità di gioco
Fatal Fury Special è un clone di Fatal Fury 2 con poche ma importantissime migliorie:
 è stato implementato un sistema di combo di colpi molto efficace, elemento che ha poi caratterizzato tutti i successivi capitoli della saga;
 i colpi sono stati depotenziati, e quindi sono necessari più colpi per abbattere l'avversario;
 il gioco è più veloce rispetto a Fatal Fury 2;
 è possibile selezionare il lottatore tra 15 differenti personaggi, e per ciascuno di essi è presente un clone con colori differenti; sono ora selezionabili anche i quattro boss di Fatal Fury 2, nonché tre personaggi ripescati da Fatal Fury e riadattati graficamente, ovvero Tung Fu Rue, Duck King e Geese Howard.

Il gioco è molto lungo in quanto per terminarlo è necessario sconfiggere tutti e quindici i personaggi selezionabili, compreso il clone del proprio personaggio.
Se si vincono tutte le sfide senza mai perdere un round (è possibile perdere un incontro e poi continuare con un nuovo credito) si accederà ad un ulteriore incontro, un Dream Match dove il giocatore affronterà Ryo Sakazaki di Art of Fighting: è il primo riferimento all'incrociarsi delle trame dei due videogiochi, dove le vicende narrate in Art of Fighting precedono quelle di Fatal Fury.
Se si termina il gioco senza mai continuare con nuovi crediti si vedrà un finale speciale che coinvolge tutti i personaggi del gioco.

Q: Regex Replacing Multiple Characters What I have is a program that takes user's input from a textbox and adds a period to the end of it. The problem I'm trying to solve is if the user puts a period at the end of what they have typed then I want to be able to remove that period. I tried to use the string replace method but that only lets you do it for a single character. The next thing I thought about was regular expressions.
I tried this:
finalString = Regex.Replace(finalString, "..", ".");

but all it did was replace every character with a period. Is there a regular expression that would let me replace 2 periods that are next to each other?

A: . has a special meaning so you need to escape it with \
finalString = Regex.Replace(finalString, "\\.\\.$", ".");

or simply use verbatim symbol
finalString = Regex.Replace(finalString, @"\.\.$", ".");

adding $ at the end of the regex asserts if the position of the period is on the last part of the string.

A: If you want to use any of these characters as a literal in a regex, you need to escape them with a backslash.
the opening square bracket [, the backslash \, the caret ^, the dollar sign $, the period or dot ., the vertical bar or pipe symbol |, the question mark ?, the asterisk or star *, the plus sign +, the opening round bracket ( and the closing round bracket ).
Good Read

A: . in regular expression means match any character..In your case .. means match any two characters and replace it with .
You should escape it like this \.
It should be
finalString = Regex.Replace(finalString, @"\.\.", ".");

42 killed in Morocco's worst-ever bus crash
RABAT - Agence France-Presse
A man injured after a bus in which he was traveling plunged down a 150-meter ravine is treated at a hospital in Marrakesh, Morocco, Tuesday, Sept. 4, 2012.
A bus plunged into a ravine in the Atlas mountains of southern Morocco early today killing at least 42 people, a security official said, in the worst such accident recorded in the kingdom.
All the victims were Moroccan, a local official told AFP. "But we are still in the process of identifying the bodies, as well as the injured," he added.
The accident took place at around 2:00 am (0100 GMT) when the vehicle fell off a main road in Haouz province, around 100 kilometres south of Marrakesh, one of Morocco's top tourist destinations.
The crash also left some 25 people injured, who were taken to different hospitals in the region, according to a local official.
The official MAP news agency, which said the bus fell 150 metres (165 yards) gave the same death toll of 42, saying that five of the victims died in hospital, and that 24 people were injured in the crash, four of them critically.
The cause of the accident was not immediately clear.
An official in Haouz province said an inquiry had been launched and a crisis group set up. The provincial governor Younes El Bathaoui arrived at the site of the crash to supervise the rescue operation, according to MAP.
The tragedy occurred as the bus was heading towards Marrakesh, after crossing the Tizi-n-Tichka pass, the highest in Morocco.
The road, linking the central Moroccan city with the Sahara gateway town of Ouarzazate, winds through the mountains for dozens of kilometres.
It was the worst bus crash recorded in Morocco, which has a poor road safety record. In November 2010, 24 people drowned when a bus carrying workmen tumbled into a river near the capital Rabat.
And in late July, 12 people were killed in central Morocco when a lorry driver lost control of his vehicle after one of its tyres was punctured and crashed into a bus.
Road accidents in Morocco claimed 4,200 lives last year, a rise of around 12 percent on 2010, according to figures from the transport ministry.

To accompany her retrospective at MoMA in New York, Björk has put together a big ol' book called Björk: Archives, filled with photos and tidbits of memory from the artists career since 1993.
We talked in the summer about the comprehensive and beautiful app for Björk's Biophilia being added to the MoMA's permanent collection – very cool, but also surely one of the first instances ever that an app has been inducted into a gallery or museum space? Who knows.
That's not all. She must have a fan or two amongst the upper echelons at MoMA because there will also be a exclusive retrospective exhibition simply called Björk running 7th March to 7th June 2015.
The chance to chronicle this quite legendary artist's career has rubbed off on the publishing world also, paving the way for Björk: Archives.
The paperback details Björk's rise from her 1993 album Debut, through her 6 other major albums, up to the present day, taking in poetry, philosophical fragments, quotations and – it wouldn't be very Björk without it – some stunning visuals.
Your eyes will be happy to learn that they will be able to see Björk: Archives on 30th March 2015, when it will be released unto the world.

Infertility: The Sperm and the egg
Parenthood is one of the most desired goals in adulthood, and most people have life plans that include children at some point. However, not all couples who want to get pregnant will do so spontaneously. It's crazy, we spend our lives trying not to get pregnant and then hope we can get pregnant easily when we want to start a family. A proportion of couples will need to seek medical treatment to help resolve fertility problems. Infertility has been recognised as a public health issue worldwide by the World Health Organisation (WHO). I see that medical aids like Discovery are also starting to recognise fertility problems and are adding fertility benefits to medical aid plans.
What is infertility?
"Infertility is when you cannot get/stay pregnant after trying for at least 1 year and you are under the age of 35," says Dr Sulaiman Heylen President of the Southern African Society of Reproductive Medicine and Gynaecological Endoscopy (SASREG). 1/4 couples in developing countries are affected by infertility, while 1/6 couples worldwide experience some form of infertility problem at least once during their reproductive lifetime. The current prevalence of infertility lasting for at least 12 months is estimated to affect between 8 – 12% worldwide for women aged 20 to 44.
Why the increase in infertility?
In recent years, the number of couples seeking treatment for infertility has dramatically increased due to factors such as;
Postponement of childbearing in women
Development of newer and more successful techniques for infertility treatment and increasing awareness of available services.
This increasing participation in fertility treatment has raised awareness and inspired investigation into the psychological ramifications of infertility. It can cause stress, depression, and anxiety, which is why it is important to know that there are options available for treatment.
Age is a key factor
"Up to 50% of all patients who visit a fertility center are 35 or older. We cannot stress enough how important it is not to wait too long when considering having children. Young women need to be aware that there is a decline in fertility from their 20s until the age of 35, after which it starts to decrease rapidly until the age of 45," says Dr Heylen.
"It's important for couples to investigate fertility options and preservation earlier in life. A woman who is not ready to have a child can choose to freeze her eggs to preserve her ability to have a child later," says Dr Heylen.
It's estimated that 20 – 30% of infertility cases are explained by physiological causes in men, 20 – 35% by physiological causes in women, and 25 – 40% of cases are because of a problem in both partners. In 10 – 20% no cause is found. Infertility is also associated with lifestyle factors such as smoking, body weight, and stress. A woman's age is one of the most important factors affecting whether she is able to conceive and give birth to a healthy child. This is due to several changes that are a natural part of aging:
The number and quality of eggs (ovarian reserve) decreases naturally and progressively from the time a woman is born until the time she reaches menopause.
It is not only more difficult to get pregnant (conceive), but miscarriage and chromosomal abnormalities in the child (such as Down syndrome) are more common in older mothers.
Fibroids, endometriosis, and tubal disease are more common and can affect fertility.
Women who become pregnant at an older age have a higher risk of complications during pregnancy, such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.
The decrease in a man's fertility appears to occur later in life than in a woman's fertility. In their mid-to-late 40s, men experience changes in their sperm that can cause issues with fertility, and chromosomal or developmental problems with their children.
Lifestyle and family history
If you have any of the following risk factors, you may also consider seeking advice earlier:
Family history (i.e. mother or sister) of early menopause (before age 51)
History of cigarette smoking in either partner
Previous ovarian surgery
Exposure to chemotherapy or radiation to treat cancer in either partner
Shortening in the time between periods
Skipped or missed periods
History of injury to the testicles
Exposure to toxic chemicals (certain pesticides or solvents)
Pregnancy is a complex process
Pregnancy is the result of a process that has many steps.
To get pregnant:
A woman's body must release an egg from one of her ovaries (ovulation).
A man's sperm must join with the egg along the way (fertilise).
The fertilised egg must go through a fallopian tube toward the uterus.
The fertilised egg must attach to the inside of the uterus (implantation).
Infertility may result from a problem with any of these steps. For the pregnancy to continue to full term, the embryo must be healthy and the woman's hormonal environment adequate. When just one of these factors is impaired, infertility can result.
Couples are advised to seek medical help if they are unable to achieve pregnancy after a year of unprotected intercourse. The doctor will conduct a physical examination of both partners to determine their state of health and to evaluate physical disorders that may be causing infertility. Usually, both partners are interviewed about their sexual habits to determine whether intercourse is taking place properly for conception.
If no cause can be determined, more specific tests may be recommended. For women, these include an analysis of ovulation, x-ray of the fallopian tubes and uterus, and laparoscopy. For men, initial tests focus on semen analysis. "Based on the results of the tests, a treatment plan will be made which can include medication, surgery or assisted reproduction," says Dr Heylen.
It is estimated that more than 9 million babies have been born since the first IVF baby was born in 1978. Most assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments take place in women aged between 30 – 39. The most common fertilisation technique is ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) accounts for 3/4 of all treatments, and IVF around 1/4. Success rates from frozen embryo transfer are increasing, as are the number of frozen cycles. Vitrification, as an efficient cryopreservation technique, has improved the outcome of both embryo and oocyte (immature egg cell) freezing.
Infertility often creates one of the most distressing life crises that a couple has ever experienced together. The long-term inability to conceive a child can evoke significant feelings of loss. Coping with medical decisions and uncertainties that infertility brings can create emotional upheaval for couples.
"If you find yourself feeling anxious, depressed, out of control, or isolated, you are not alone," says Dr Heylen. "Infertility is more common than you may think, but there is no reason to lose hope. Visit a fertility clinic near you to speak to a doctor about the options available to you and your partner."

Kira Kira – Alchemy & Friends
Published on 17/12/2018 in Explore/Issue #3/REVIEWS by Stína Satanía
Words by Bartek Wilk Photo by Therese Precht Vadum The review was originally printed in Reykjavík On Stage (Issue 3) The title of Kira Kira's fourth studio album speaks volumes. Alchemy & Friends, for me, offers a way to pass through a magic door to a fairy-tale world, yet not an entirely unfamiliar one. The artist behind Kira Kira, Kristín Björk, has been creating unique compositions with a special atmosphere for a long time. However, I must admit, her new album is a step towards more affordable music. Personally, I find it a good direction. Kira Kira had made us accustomed to musical experiments, compositions that did not necessarily take the shape of songs, tracks based more on sounds than melodies. But things have changed. Alchemy & Friends is filled with melodies, and of course they are kept in the right atmosphere. In many places, they are filled in with…

GlerAkur And Katla: Prophecy Productions Invades Iceland
Published on 16/12/2018 in Explore/Issue #3 by Stína Satanía
Words by Wim Van Hooste The German label Morr Music and the English label One Little Indian have signed numerous Icelandic artists and released a lot of music made in Iceland in recent decades. But there is a new label on the horizon releasing music by brand new Icelandic artists: GlerAkur's wall of guitars and volcanic duo Katla. We had the opportunity to chat with members of both bands, Elvar and Gummi, respectively. But first, we will put the spotlight on the label. Prophecy Productions Prophecy Productions is a German record label, founded in 1996 by Martin Koller, as a mail order service. Proud of its unconventional and unique approach to music, ranging from black & dark metal, progressive rock, indie rock, shoegaze, electronica & ambient to neofolk & neoclassical. The label has also been publishing books since 2002. (more…)
Don't Leave Me This Way
Words by Wim Van Hooste Reykjavík On Stage had a chat with Arnar Guðjónsson, a 39-year-old musician, producer and sound engineer based in Reykjavík. Arnar has been playing in various bands since the age of 13. In 2001, he formed a band called Leaves who released four albums over the next years. As of late, Arnar has been writing music for films, TV shows and commercials, all the while producing albums and songs for a bunch of other musicians and bands (Kaleo, Quarashi, Axel Flóvent, Dream Wife, Ensími, Pollapönk, Skálmöld and HAM to name a few). Hi Arnar! Your solo album Grey Mist of Wuhan was released in 2016. Can you tell us how it came to be? It was heavily inspired by China, isn't it? I've done a few tours in China over the last 6 years. First with Bang Gang and then later with Leaves. I visited Wuhan…
Q&A w/Pan Thorarensen
Words by Bartek Wilk Photo by Ómar Sverrisson Pan Thorarensen is a man who works on different musical fronts. Born in 1981, he has made history in Icelandic music with abundant album releases and various side projects. Along with his father Óskar Thorarensen and composer Þorkell Atlason, he created a significant electronic project called Stereo Hypnosis. This is just one example. Playing as Beatmakin Troopa, Pan Thorarensen combines slow, relaxing electro and energetic jazz in a unique way. Moreover, he is a co-founder of the fantastic project Ambátt that represents a marriage of the genres of jazz, rock, post-rock and ambient. Besides being a composer and musician, Pan is the organiser of Extreme Chill, the first pure electronica music festival in Iceland that kicked off in 2009 in Hellissandur. For eight years, Extreme Chill has showcased many internationally renowned musicians as well as talented Icelandic artists. More than a festival,…
Sólstafir – the Autumn Tour
Words by Bartek Wilk Photograph by Falk-Hagen Bernshausen Sólstafir's autumn tour encompassed 31 shows in almost all corners of Europe. In Cracow, the only gig in Poland, the band gathered a room full of people, who knew not only the titles of all their songs but also all the lyrics. The interactions between the band and the audience were phenomenal! It created an amazing atmosphere! It turns out that not only Sigur Rós or Kaleo can sell out a concert a few weeks in advance. Sólstafir is the undisputed star of Icelandic music abroad. Happily, I went for my first meeting with the band – and it will certainly not be the last! Warm-up Before discussing the headliner, I must pay homage to those who opened the show in Cracow. Unfortunately, despite driving on the highway as fast as I could, I missed part of Árstíðir's performance. I did, however,…
Finger On The Pulse #03
Words by Stína Satanía Warmland As the Warmland duo is a combo of such experienced musicians and producers as Arnar Guðjónsson (Leaves) and Hrafn Thoroddsen (Ensími), the band sets the bar of expectations quite high. They have played together in Bang Gang, but with their new project, these partners in crime bring to the world warm and sunny music in a pop style which in an elegant way blends 70s pop, 80s mood and elements of drum and bass. The silky vocals of Arnar add lightness to this package. The duo promises to release a debut album pretty soon and we can already enjoy three tracks: 'Lyda', 'Unison' and 'Overboard'.

Bella Donna Elíza Newman from Lavaland
Words by Wim Van Hoose Photo by Gísli Kristjánsson Among the many distinct qualities of Icelandic music, the greatest is diversity. This is embodied in Eliza Geirsdóttir Newman, who is a singer-songwriter, violinist, ukulele player extraordinaire (!!), music teacher and dreamer from the Reykjanes peninsula of Iceland. She conquered the local music scene 26 years ago with Kolrassa Krókríðandi/Bellatrix. So far, she has immersed herself in different projects including four solo albums, and she shared with us some of her stories. When did music come into your life, and when did you start to sing? For as long as I can remember, there was always a lot of music playing in my house; either my dad would be playing the guitar or there would be records playing. I started attending music school in Keflavík when I was six years old, first playing the recorder and then moving on to the…
Var In The Land Of Cherry Blossoms
Post-rock band VAR's debut album, which is filled with sonic, emotional and delicate musical landscapes, was actually released first in Japan and subsequently in their homeland. Therefore, it is not surprising that the band travelled almost 9,000 kilometres one way to greet their Japanese fans. In the following, bass player Egill Björgvinsson talks about the adventure in the Land of Cherry Blossoms and the feedback that Japanese listeners gave to the band. How did you get the opportunity to go on tour in Japan? We had released our album Vetur in Japan on Rimeout Recordings in December 2016, and we were asked the following autumn if we would be interested in coming over for a tour at the end of 2017. When an opportunity like that knocks on the door, it's really hard to say no, and for us it was a no-brainer. (more…)
Q&A w/Mosi Musik
Words by Bartek Wilk Mosi Musik is an independent band from Reykjavík, Iceland. Their electronic music combines a stylish mix of electro beats with soul, hip hop, pop and R&B. It began in 2013 as a one-man project by Mosi (whose real name is Ingi Þór Tryggvason), who is not only a musician but also a music producer, writer, graphic designer and event planner. Mosi Musik released their debut album, I Am You Are Me, on 25 April 2015 and soon followed that up with an EP, I Am You Are Remix, on 17 June 2015. Three music videos were released along with the album. In 2016, they released a single called 'Weekend Out'. Their new album is slated for release, and we can expect more live shows from Mosi Musik this year, as they have confirmed their participation in Secret Solstice 2018. First of all, I wanted to ask,…
Norður Og Niður – Iceland´s Unmissable Festival
Words by Stína Satanía Photograph by Juliette Rowland Most of us immediately associate Iceland with Sigur Rós or the Icelandic Queen of Innovation in Music, Björk. Certainly, they are responsible for promoting the country to the outside world. Unsurprisingly, when the members of Sigur Rós organised and curated their own festival on their home ground in Reykjavík, the celebration was a massive success, attracting festivalgoers from 50 countries, all of them fans of Sigur Rós. It is undeniable that this legendary Icelandic band has assembled an amazing community over the years. (more…)

Fascist Trump calls for the "the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution." I disagree with his fascist proposal.

Trump's Call for 'Termination' of Constitution Draws Rebukes
Republicans were still cautious — or silent entirely — about shunning the former president-turned-2024 candidate.
By Maggie Astor
An extraordinary antidemocratic statement from former President Donald J. Trump, suggesting the "termination" of the Constitution to overturn the 2020 election, drew a degree of bipartisan condemnation over the weekend, with a flood from Democrats and a trickle from Republicans.
But it did not appear to do any more than similar past actions in prompting Republican officials to rule out supporting Mr. Trump in 2024.
Inaccurately describing the contents of a just-released report about Twitter's moderation decisions during the 2020 campaign, Mr. Trump again demanded that the 2020 election be overturned or rerun, for the first time explicitly calling to set aside the supreme law of the land.
"A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution," he wrote in a post on Saturday on his social network, Truth Social.
Mr. Trump was responding to a report Friday night about Twitter employees' internal deliberations over the company's decision in 2020 to block links to a New York Post article that described emails found on a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, President Biden's son. The report, a Twitter thread by the writer Matt Taibbi, also criticized the fact that the Biden campaign had a back channel to ask Twitter to remove certain tweets, though it noted that Republicans had such a back channel, too.
The explicit suggestion of suspending the Constitution was astonishing even by the standards of Mr. Trump, who has spent the past two years spreading lies about the 2020 election, which he lost, and promoting various illegal mechanisms for overturning it.
Less than three weeks ago, Mr. Trump announced a third bid for the presidency, a job in which the winner takes an oath to "preserve, protect and defend" the Constitution.
"Attacking the Constitution and all it stands for is anathema to the soul of our nation and should be universally condemned," Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman, said in a statement.
Several Republicans did reject the comments. "Well, obviously I don't support that," Representative-elect Mike Lawler, a Republican who unseated Representative Sean Patrick Maloney in a suburban New York district, said on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday. "The Constitution is set for a reason, to protect the rights of every American."
But far more remained silent, including Kevin McCarthy, the House minority leader who hopes to become speaker when Republicans take control of the chamber in January, and who made a point last month of declaring that Republicans would read the Constitution aloud on the House floor on their first day in charge. Two press representatives for Mr. McCarthy did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Sunday.
In an interview on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday morning, Representative David Joyce of Ohio illustrated Republicans' unyielding loyalty to Mr. Trump.
Mr. Joyce dodged three questions from the anchor, George Stephanopoulos, about Mr. Trump's comments and whether he would support Mr. Trump in 2024, saying that he believed Republicans would have a large field of candidates and that he wanted to focus on making the most of the party's new House majority.
When Mr. Stephanopoulos pressed him a fourth time, Mr. Joyce said, "I will support whoever the Republican nominee is." With visible discomfort, Mr. Joyce then sought to defend that commitment after Mr. Stephanopoulos asked incredulously, "You can't come out against someone who's for suspending the Constitution?"
"Well, he says a lot of things, but that doesn't mean that it's ever going to happen," Mr. Joyce said. But Mr. Trump has followed through on many things that other Republicans insisted he did not really mean, including his effort to block the certification of Mr. Biden's victory, which culminated in Trump supporters' storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The idea of forgiving library fines for overdue articles is misguided. We are subtly telling children that avoiding rules is OK. We should never do this.
If we want to void the fine, which is admirable, it should happen only when an individual goes in person to a library and apologizes for returning an item late. Lacking that, the fine needs to stay in place.

We Have The Freedom To Lie
by Our TAKE Admin
By Shayan
Freedom of speech.
That's a bold phrase.
We, the citizens of America have the right, the power, and the ability, to say whatever we want, whenever we want. It's written in the bill of rights as amendment number 1.
As great as that sounds, is it the best option? Fake news, racist comments and dark hatred spread the digital realms of the internet today, with nothing to fear, because it's their right, right?
Violent protests, altered campaign results, and racist supremisists are all led by our right, freedom of speech, and it needs to stop.
"Words are more dangerous than swords and guns. They reach further and hurt deeper.", a quote by Luis Marques, a famous author. Having the right to share your opinion is one thing, but enforcing hatred towards other races is another.
On August 12, 2017, a group of white nationalists organized a protest to remove Confederate statues from Charlottesville, named "Unite the right". Although protests are legal, committing violence is not.
The nationalists were countered by opposing protesters, which led to violence. James Alex Field Jr., a 20-year-old man siding with the white nationalists, drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters, causing one to lose her life. "This is not a First Amendment rally. They are literally coming to kill us.", spoken by anti-nationalist protesters.
Protesters who were opposing the racist ideals from the nationalists, protesters who were protecting the equality sense of America, protesters who were humane, were violently attacked.
More recently, and exactly a year later, On August 12, the "Unite the right" protest was held again as a sequel, with the racist white nationalists protesting with their cause being, "White people are becoming a minority", said by a protester supporting the nationalist group. Police engagement played a huge role in both occasions, where police officers had to stop fights and calm the situations down.
Violent. Racist. Inhumane. Freedom of speech.
In 2017, Donald J. Trump was elected as the President of United States. Elections are always a fight for the best. However, not when it is rigged by fake news, and protected by the first amendment.
Facebook and twitter are perfect places to examine political elections, the rising disputes between republicans and democrats. What people don't realise is that most of the statements regarding hate towards Clinton, or positivity towards Trump, was fake.
The Special Council Investigation was an investigation which targeted Trump to analyze different sources from the media which deliberately hated on Clinton. A recent update found that Trump was not working with Russia at the time of his elections, but did confirm that the news was fake, which means that many assumptions and accusations about Clinton were false, which would have disrupted the elections.
Trump also has a record of nonsense that he has said to the people. According to a study at the Washington Post, Trump has made 9,014 falsehoods in the past 774 days. Bottom line is, don't believe everything you hear or see.
Social media lacks the security it needs to protect its platform. They choose to not have restrictions that would prevent fake news from spreading to abuse campaigns, for as it "goes against the freedom to express themselves" said by Mark Zuckerberg. He did so to defend his facebook platform by using the bill of rights, which was written by our founding fathers. Thomas Jefferson, one of the biggest founding fathers of America once said, "An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.", which translates to, honesty is the best policy. Thomas Jefferson would be disappointed in us.
If the freedom of speech means that we have the ability to wreak chaos, cause violence, spread rumours, fiddle with political campaigns, and directly lie, than it's about time we do something about it.

Siats meekerorum () è un dinosauro carnivoro appartenente ai tetanuri. Visse all'inizio del Cretaceo superiore (Cenomaniano, circa 98 milioni di anni fa) e i suoi resti fossili sono stati ritrovati in Nordamerica (Utah).

Descrizione

Questo animale è noto solo grazie a uno scheletro molto incompleto, comprendente numerose vertebre caudali e dorsali, parte delle ossa del bacino e alcune ossa delle zampe posteriori. Alcuni caratteri presenti nelle vertebre caudali anteriori e dorsali (la fusione incompleta degli archi neurali ai centri vertebrali) indicano che questo esemplare non era un adulto.

Le stime dimensionali indicano che Siats doveva superare i dieci metri di lunghezza. Erano presenti alcuni caratteri unici (autapomorfie), tra le quali le vertebre caudali distali a sezione subtriangolare, le vertebre caudali prossimali prive di fosse infradiapofisali, un acetabolo concavo trasversalmente. Un'altra caratteristica era data dalle spine neurali delle vertebre dorsali insolitamente larghe.

Confrontando le ossa di Siats con quelle di altri animali simili, si ipotizza che questo animale fosse dotato di un corpo robusto, sorretto da lunghe e potenti arti posteriori. Il cranio doveva essere grande, dotato di ampie finestre anteorbitali e di lunghi denti aguzzi.

Classificazione

Questo animale è stato descritto per la prima volta nel 2013, sulla base di fossili ritrovati tra il 2008 e il 2010, nel Mussentuchit Member della formazione Cedar Mountain, nello Utah, risalente al Cenomaniano. L'esemplare è noto con il numero di catalogo FMNH PR 2716, e secondo gli autori della descrizione sarebbe il primo fossile riferibile alla famiglia Neovenatoridae scoperto in Nordamerica. Siats sarebbe inoltre il carnosauro più recente proveniente dal continente.

Filogenesi

Life scientists work to improve our understanding of illnesses and how to diagnose them.
There are five main areas in life sciences at UHS:
Cellular sciences
Genomic sciences
Infection sciences
Reproductive sciences
Histopathology and cytopathology
Scientists working in histopathology examine tissue samples to see the structure of tissues and cells. This helps doctors to diagnose and treat illnesses such as cancer. In cytopathology, healthcare scientists examine samples of cells for abnormalities that could be signs of cancer. This often involves screening samples collected by the cervical screening programme.
Biomedical imaging
The biomedical imaging unit is a multidisciplinary research and diagnostic support unit jointly managed by UHS cellular pathology and the University of Southampton. It provides facilities and services in transmission and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microprobe analysis, photomicroscopy, image analysis and confocal laser scanning microscopy.
Anatomical pathologists work in the mortuary, supporting doctors to identity patients' causes of death, assisting with post-mortems and supporting bereaved relatives.
Genomics is a role that connects computing, biology, and medicine to help inform the best treatment for a patient based on their unique genetic make-up. Vast amounts of data are generated in genomics and these advances are used for diagnostic testing and management for the best possible patient care.
Cancer genomics is the study of genes and how alterations in genes can lead to changes in cells which cause cancer. The cancer genomics team is responsible for identifying different the types of cancer that are caused by alterations in genes. They don't work directly with patients, but their research has a great impact on them.
Medical microbiologists detect, isolate and identify pathogenic micro-organisms from clinical material. They isolate the pathogenic organisms and test them against a range of antibiotics to determine which may be suitable for treating the infection.
Virology is the study of viral infections like rubella, herpes, hepatitis and HIV. Virology is part of a larger microbiology service specialising in the identification and characterisation of viruses that cause infection. Investigations could involve specialised serological and molecular techniques such as antigen, antibody detection, polymerase chain reaction and sequencing.
Clinical biochemistry looks at changes in the composition of blood and other body fluids. The service operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, analysing samples to diagnose patients and help to manage their conditions. Roles in clinical biochemistry include clinical biochemist, chemical pathologist, biomedical scientist and biomedical support worker.
Haematology and transfusion science
The haematology department provides a comprehensive clinical and laboratory diagnostic service. Expertise within the team covers the areas of haemato-oncology (blood cancer), stem cell transplantation, haemostasis and thrombosis, general consultative and diagnostic haematology. The department also works closely with our child health teams, supporting the diagnosis and management of children with haematological problems and with immunology to provide highly specialist diagnostic services.
Immunology is the study of the immune system, the body's defence system to protect us against disease. Immunologists undertake clinical and laboratory duties and underpin the diagnosis and monitoring of immunological diseases. They help diagnose and monitor conditions that attack the immune system like allergies and infections such as HIV.
Molecular pathologists focus on the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of molecules within organs, tissues or bodily fluids. We work with DNA, so methods are both sensitive and specific.
We use molecular and genetic approaches to:

Norway argues that it had the full right to arrest Latvian snow crab fishing vessel «Senator» in Svalbard waters. Most countries disagree.
However, the arrest of the «Senator» is more about politics than about crabs.
According to Per-Arne Totland, a writer and expert on the Svalbard archipelago, the snow crab has the potential to become a new conflict issue in the area.
«This means that a conflict over the snow crab could be seen as a test whether Norway can be subject to pressure with regard to the shelf around Svalbard».
Norway argues that the Svalbard Treaty of 1920 gives it full sovereignty over the continental shelf around the archipelago. That view, however, is disputed by the international community, which maintains that all signatory counties of the Svalbard Treaty have equal rights to engage in economic activity in the waters and on the shelf.
The EU, UK, USA and Russia all challenge the Norwegian stance on the issue.
According to NRK, the EU has officially approved a list of 16 EU vessels which can engage in snow crab fishing around Svalbard. That has enraged Norway's Minister of Fisheries Per Sandberg.
«This is not the way to negotiate», Sandberg says to NRK. «The EU can catch snow crab, but then we want something in return», he underlines. Meetings with the EU Commission is reportedly due this week.
The snow crab, an invasive species, has over the last year expanded explosively in the Barents Sea. The crab, which first was discovered in the area in 1996, is now located over major parts of northern and eastern Barents Sea. In 2015, about 8,600 tons of snow crab was landed in Norway, the Marine Research Institute says.
Not only Norwegian and Russian fishermen want a piece of the cake. Also third countries vessels are in the area. Since 2013, several EU vessels have engaged in the snow crab fishing. Most of them are from Lithuania and Latvia.
According to Per Arne Totland, Norway has good arguments with regard to its stance on the Svalbard shelf.
«If the issue was taken to the UN court in the Hague, it would be hard to predict which side will win».
