i have been living in calne for the past 2 years. i am disgusted by the very low turn out at yesterdays by election; only 22% of local people decided to get off the sofa and vote.

local elections are grass roots politics that affect all of us. there needs to be a radical approach to encouraging people to take an interest on a local level.

one of my main concerns is that the BNP recieved 10% of the vote that is 84 people voted for them. does this mean that the BNP followers are more likely to vote as they feel so passionate about their political views or does this figure reflect the actual amount of calne residents support their cause. i believe the former to be true. if that is the case, the mainstream political parties need to iginite a political fire under local people.

finally i would like to a big good luck to Glenis Ansell.

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...
