A kitkat free advice bureau

I think today was the busiest advice bureau with 18 groups of people (some of which were one person). I had over 40 people present which made me so busy I could not find time to eat the Kit-Kat I had bought before starting.

I have had 40 people present before, but that involved three substantial groups adding to about 20 plus 20 others.

Because I don't run appointments I cannot be certain how many people I will see and some bureaux have been quite quiet.

We are trying to encourage people to phone, write or attend during the week. However, I work hard to make sure that I do the Saturday bureau myself. Officially it starts at 11 and runs for an hour. However, I normally try to start about 10.30am to clear the queue. I did manage to finish at 12.15pm which I thought was quite good.

I wanted to take my 5 year old swimming later as I have the St Patrick's day parade and a party event tomorrow which will prevent me taking her swimming.

It is looking worryingly cold tomorrow. The last time I played the guitar for St the Patrick's day parade my fingers got numb. A previous year was spectacularly wet.

Hopefully it will be reasonable weather tomorrow.

Why are babies born young?

Why are babies born young? This sounds like an odd question. People would say "of course babies are born young". However, this goes to the core of the question of human (or animal) development. Why is it that as time passes people develop initially through puberty and then for women through menopause and more generally getting diseases such as sarcopenia, osteoporosis, diabetes and cancer, but most of the time babies start showing no signs of this. Lots of research into this has happened over the years and now I think it is clear why this is. It raises some interesting questions. Biological youth is about how well a cell functions. Cells that are old in a biological sense don't work that well. One of the ways in which cells stop working is they fail to produce the full range of proteins. Generally the proteins that are produced from longer genes stop being produced. The reason for this relates to how the Genes work (the Genome). Because the genome is not gettin
