Ratelband argued that he should be able to have an age that's as young as he feels. But he doesn't think the privilege should extend to people who feel older than their age. The district court refused his request on Monday, saying there are certain rights and duties that go along with aging, and 'the priority must be to ensure that the public registers contain accurate factual information.'

The average quarterly growth rate since the third quarter of 2016 was about 0.4%, which looks set to continue until at least the fourth quarter of 2020, economists at the bank said. In the three years before the referendum, that rate was about 0.6%.

Shutterstock.com The world's northernmost town is Longyearbyen, which is located in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard and has 2,100 citizens. It is around three hours by plane from Oslo and 650 miles from the North Pole, making it one of the most remote human settlements on Earth. It's dark for four months a year and light for another four months. There are also more polar bears than there are people.

Despite its remoteness, Longyearbyen has all the amenities of a modern town, including a school, a church, restaurants, and a cinema. It is also the home of the famous doomsday seed vault, which stores every known crop on the planet. Look at the World Atlas list of the world's northernmost settlements and you'll see that many at the very top of the list are located in Svalbard — a Norwegian archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole. The first settlement on the list with a population worthy of being described as a town, though, is Longyearbyen, which hosts around 2,100 people who have access to a school, a church, restaurants, and a cinema. Life in Longyearbyen, despite its amenities, is unlike anywhere else on Earth. For starters, it's dark four months a year and perpetually light for another four months.

Secondly, it's suggested residents carry a rifle when travelling outside the town borders — in case they run into a polar bear. Like many of the settlements in this part of the world, Longyearbyen was established as a mining town, though mining operations have since been phased out of the area. Now, the town is a place of scientific research and adventure tourism — it is the home of the famous doomsday seed vault, which stores every known crop on the planet.

I didn't know what I was looking at, what was normal, what was safe to do, or who to talk to. Most of all, though, I was mortified by the very idea of having blood coming out of my private parts.

Could people tell? What if I bled onto my clothes? This embarrassment prevented me from telling literally anyone — even my own mother — for the first few years of my menstruating life. This meant that I didn't have proper access to period products and had to make do with pads that I pilfered from my mum's bathroom in the hope she wouldn't notice.
