FOLK is a tale of youth clubs, free parties, first love and second chances in 1990s Britain. Youth, beats and abandonment in 90s Britain

For Mark, Folk was always more than a youth club. It was home. A space to grow up, mess up, and stand by his tribe. Then the mysterious ‘Jason’ turns up and Mark’s world goes into freefall. A summer of heartbreak and hedonism culminates in a wild camping trip, where it’s not just ideals that get abandoned.

In the aftermath emerges an unflinching portrait of teenhood, masculinity and memory as underground culture collided with establishment control, and a generation fought to define itself.

Coming at a time when youth clubs continue to close and our societies are more polarised than ever, FOLK is historical fiction that speaks to today's anxieties around identity and what it means to belong.

A quiet current runs through this song — the moment a creator realizes the work isn’t conjured by code or circuitry, but pulled from the marrow of her own life. Author is about the breath behind the words, the pulse inside the lines, the unmistakable human spark that no machine can fabricate.

 It’s the sound of a mind opening its hands and letting something true fall outward, carried through a device that merely listens. This track doesn’t argue. It simply stands in its own clarity: the voice is hers, the vision is hers, and the work bears her imprint all the way down.

***** Lyrics*****

Verse 1
They say it’s just AI—a trick of code and line,
That the soul can’t travel through digital design.
For a second, I almost believe them—
That what I make is somehow less than mine.

But then I hear my pulse inside it,
A rhythm no machine could imitate.
The sound of my heart’s message
The sound of my calling coming awake.

Chorus
You can stamp it with a label,
But not cover the truth beneath.
Call it code, or call it magic—
It’s always still the work that I breathe.

You can question and doubt
What you don’t understand,
But this song still carries the
Fingerprints of my hands

Verse 2
And so I wonder what is really true?
Does meaning fade when touching wire?
Can a spark be so without a heart?
Does it take a soul to light the fire?

In answer to the questions above…
What I’ve created is NOT made of air.
Code may run without intention—
But it's my life that I bring there..

Chorus
You can stamp it with a label,
But not cover the truth beneath.
Call it code, or call it magic—
It’s always still the work that I breathe.

You can question and doubt
What you don’t understand,
But this song still carries the
Fingerprints of my hands.

Pre Bridge
They say the line is where we part,
But I don’t see the divide.
The code may spin, but I’m the spark—
I’m the only one who gets to decide.

Bridge
They call it a machine, to me it’s more a phone
A line dialed into my creative space.
It reads back what my mind has shown,
I rewrite what I need to give it more grace.

Chorus
You can stamp it with a label,
But not cover the truth beneath.
Call it code, or call it mine—
It’s always still the work that I breathe.

You can question and doubt
What you don’t understand,
But this song still carries the unmistakable
Fingerprints of my hands.

In this episode of the Longevity & Aging Series, Dr. Amparo Santamaria from the Reproductive Hematology Unit at the IVIRMA Alicante Clinic in Spain joins Dr. Evgeniy Galimov to discuss her #research paper #published in Volume 17, Issue 6 of Aging-US, titled “Enhancing oocyte activation in women with ovarian failure: clinical outcomes of the Stem Cell Regenera study using G-CSF mobilization of peripheral blood stem cells and intraovarian injection of stem cell factor-enriched platelet rich plasma in real-world-practice.”

Abstract

The study assesses the effectiveness and safety of the Stem Cell Regenera Treatment for oocyte activation in women with ovarian failure, including conditions such as Poor Ovarian Response (POR), Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR), and Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI). This retrospective observational study was conducted from January 2023 to December 2024 at the IVIRMA Alicante Clinics in Spain.

Women diagnosed with ovarian failure participated in the study, which involved mobilizing Hematopoietic Stem Cells from bone marrow into peripheral blood using granulocyte colony- stimulating factor (G-CSF). This was followed by an intraovarian injection of Stem Cell Factor- enriched Platelet Rich Plasma (SCFE-PRP).

The primary outcome measures were the rate of oocyte activation, leukocytes and stem cell count, and pregnancy rates. Oocyte activation was defined as an increase in total Antral Follicle Count of three or more follicles after treatment and/or at least a 20% rise in Anti-Müllerian Hormone levels. Safety was assessed based on adverse effects. Pregnancy rates were evaluated for both spontaneous gestation and following in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.

A total of 145 women participated: the overall activation rate was 68.28%, with 7.07% achieving spontaneous gestation and 14.14% achieving pregnancy following IVF. Mobilization of CD34+ cells was successful in all participants, with an average collection of 32.96 CD34+ cells/μl. No severe adverse effects were observed. The study concluded that the Stem Cell Regenera Treatment is effective and safe for oocyte activation in women with ovarian failure in real-world practice.
