World Service

I spoke to some trainee journalists from the World Service on Friday Night. They have an interesting opportunity to learn about the varied cultures in the world at some depth.

The World Service is a very cost effective way of promoting a positive view of Britain about which so much damage has been done by the government in recent years.

With all the rows about Al Jazeera it is interesting to note how Al Jazeera has in some ways developed from the World Service.

To be fair, many of the journalists working on Al-Jazeera were originally employed by BBC World and work to similar standards, even now. It was only when the Beeb had to pull out of the Gulf Region for political reasons that they were let go.

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.
