November Election - Automated Calls

Labour, it appears, have started doing automated phone calls. This, where a computer phones people, is of dubious legality. It shows they are preparing for a November Election.

At the same time we have the complications that people may not actually be registered to vote even though they have recently filled in the electoral registration form.

Then again the situation is better than it used to be for autumn elections where there weren't rolling registers. That means that people would have to vote where they were previously.

All in all I would not expect the AEA's concerns to have any effect on Labour's decisionmaking.

I recently completed an electoral registration (basically a "Nothing's changed"), how can I check that it went through and I'm not disenfranchised? I'd hate to not be able to vote, I've voted in every election since I was 18 bar one (I was away at university and Solihull MBC 'lost' my application for postal voting).

The people who will have a problem are those who have moved. I think you are still living in Greet. Hence you will have the old original vote. The new form will not have any affect until much later.

The problem is for people who recently moved and filled in this form. They will think they have a vote from the form, but don't.

Trudiagnostic change PACE leaderboard algorithm - was in position 40, now position 44 - does it matter?

Trudiagnostic have changed the way they handle the Rejuvenation Olympics Leaderboard algorithm. The result of this initially was that I was globally no 40 and have now dropped to 44. Trudiagnostic are a US company that get samples of blood and they look at the DNA to see which parts of the DNA have methyl groups (CH3) attached to them. These modifications to DNA are called methylation markers. DunedinPACE is an algorithm which uses DNA methylation markers in white blood cells to work out how quickly or slowly someone is aging. I had three results on this. The odd thing about the results was that whilst my epigenetic age calculated from the same methylation markers was going down, the speed at which I was aging was going up. I find this somewhat counterintuitive. It is, however, I think relevant that in a global contest my approach on biochemistry which is quite different to many other people's does seem to keep up with others working in the same area. To that extent it...
