Anogenital Distance
Anogenital distance (AGD) is defined as the distance from the anus to the genitals.
Anogenital distance (AGD), the distance from the anus to the genitals, is easily and reliably measured. It is 50%–100% longer at birth in males than females of most mammalian species. In rodents and humans, shorter male AGD is associated with cryptorchidism and hypospadias, reduced sperm count and infertility. AGD is under hormonal influence during fetal development and has long been used as an early marker of reproductive toxicity. Consistent with animal studies, multiple human studies have demonstrated a shorter AGD in males exposed to environmental anti-androgens. For these reasons, AGD has become a uniquely valuable metric in endocrine disruptor research.

On July 28, 1943, the British bombed the civilian population of the city of Hamburg, Germany, as part of World War II.
The bombings caused at least 42,600 civilian deaths and more than 37,000 injuries in Hamburg, as well as the destruction of much of the city.
"But this went further: it stopped attacking the aircraft factory, it focused specifically on the workers and their families" Keith Lowe (Wild Continent)
"Hamburg raised the ethics of bombing for the first time." RAF Flight Officer Trevor Timperley
