When we looked at the China saw mills effect of female age alone, we saw a 46% relative decrease from ages under 30 to 40-42, but when we looked at male age alone, we saw a 20% relative decrease over the same age span.In cinema it’s very tough to achieve this — to keep the ego away and let the story, the characters breathe in the space they are in, and then play out.
Just like the strong bond between the mother and her daughter, there’s a bond between Dhunu and her goat Munu.There’s a ritual to celebrate and mark puberty, and then the floods come. My head itched for a long while after that scene, and still does when I think of it.Dhunu, who hangs around only with the boys, now dreams of owning a guitar and, along with her, they all start dreaming of being members of a band.Two plastic chairs, two goats, one trunk, some utensils leave their crumbling home in a boat, to settle elsewhere by the river.Then they climb trees and then just lie there. But there’s warmth in its ubiquitousness, and in its simple aesthetics lies the philosophy of surrendering to the material, of allowing the piece, the teacup to rise on the potter’s wheel as it wants to. Its beauty lies in the fact that it looks and feels like it was "born, not made". Men were stratified into these same four age bands, with an additional band of 42 and over.
As a woman goes from her 20s to her 30s to her 40s sans having kids, shes likely to hear more and more people warn her about the pregnancy risks, but now, a new research has shown that its not only the female fertility clock thats ticking."Our study found an independent effect of male age on the cumulative incidence of live birth," said investigator Laura Dodge from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School, Boston, USA. While the effect of female age on fertility is overwhelmingly due to increased rates of chromosomal abnormality, the proposed mechanisms in the effect of male age on pregnancy are more subtle. So in the absence of clear evidence of the mechanisms, the best preconception advice we can offer is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. The mechanisms, she added, are unclear but may include impaired semen parameters, increased DNA damage in sperm, and epigenetic alterations in sperm that affect fertilisation, implantation, or embryo development. "Commenting on the results, Dodge noted that in natural conceptions increasing male age is associated with a decreased incidence of pregnancy, increased time to pregnancy, and increased risk of miscarriage.
