The Icelandic Volcano

The link is to Birmingham's Resiliance Team's website which deals with various issues including the Icelandic Volcano.

The subsection is here with a nice picture (if a bit small) of the volcano itself.

Birmingham's civil contingency processes have been working quite well in recent years.

With the focus on the closure of the Air space due to the ash cloud entering the aircraft enigines, is one problem, but also a not well reported issue occures when planes fly throught ash cloudes is the aircraft is literally sand blasted.

the infamous BA flight 9 lost all four engines but as well the pilots had to fly blind as the aircrafts windscreen and windows became "frosted".

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...
