St Patricks Day Parade 2011 Birmingham

Although I didn't get to bed until 2am following the Glee Club at the Lib Dem Conference I did manage to attend the St Patrick's day parade (mainly because I packed everything away before going to bed).

The parade was bigger and better than last year, but I will take a while to put up photos. I will also link to other photo sets, but not immediately.

On this parade "A long way to Tipperary" was played in Bb.

My set is available on flickr as well.

The BBC have a limited number of photos.

Here are from photos from Alabama - just to show how much better the real Birmingham parade is.

Kaz Keily also has a set.

This is the official facebook page. This is a facebook photo album.

Another Flickr set with a good photo of the Tipperary group.

I have at last finished editing my set - and have forwarded them to the Irish Centre, who'd asked me to come along and take crowd shots from a float.

Had a great time, and hopefully you'll like some of my shots, which can be found either on my site (www.carolannphotos.com) although most of them are in a flickr set (http://flickr.com/gp/carolpgh/379tf9/)

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
