The Anonymous Boundary Commission

I presented our many thousands of signatures against the Boundary Commission's proposals to split up Yardley to the Boundary Commission.

Oddly enough there is no sign indicating "Boundary Commission". That is because they are based in the national statistics office.

Hopefully they will heed both the logical arguments to retain the traditional links between Sheldon, Yardley and Acocks Green (going back to 699 and earlier) and also the strong public demand for this and against the Boundary Commission's proposals.

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
