It’s rare, but not unheard of, for non-monarchs to put their faces on coins.

For international til at blive dansker
AU-professor Eric Hillebrand troede, at det efter 13 år i Danmark som fastansat forsker ville være en formssag at få statsborgerskab. Men nej – han rejser for meget.

More volatility and uncertainty from the White House. An abrupt rule change for H1B visa holders. This is not in 🇺🇸 interest.
Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.
One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

A surprising result. Let
X = Harasheh et al. (2023,Table 1)
Y = Ha (2023, Table 1)
Z = Table in image
Then X - Y = Z.
X = Harasheh et al. (2023,Table 1)
Y = Ha (2023, Table 1)
Z = Table in image
Then X - Y = Z.

Ser kommentarer som ser dette som tegn på doping, og jeg undrede mig også sidste år, hvor Vingegaard og Pogacar begge havde præstationer på Armstrong/Riss niveau.
Men der har været forbedringer af grej og hypoxic training som delvist (og lovligt) giver samme effect som EPO.
