This is an interesting story about Hong Kong where the Chinese government committee selected leader is under threat as a result of building without planning permission.
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...

point being in China they actually respect the rights of the individual over the psychotic minority with power/ immunity from prosecution....
similar local story in UK few weeks ago, heavily armed anon psycopaths broke in abducted the guy, no notice, stripped him naked/ gang rape left battered naked in c old concrete cell whilst filming him for at least a day from what i can gather....so they could wreck his house and steall all his personal belongings, was the official reason.....guy was in his seventies as well....all because it's considered more convenient than behaving like reasonable decent humans? or because they enjoy it? there is no sane or sound reason for attacking anybody, obviously (you mastwed a few million taxpayers' money establishing that simple fact)...but they get psychoanalysts to 'officially' certify a lot of the attacks these days....
still homeless as far as i know....
but with all the propaganda some gullible numpties could almost be forgiven for believing that china has a worse record on 'human rights'....they also sometimes hold govt officials to account/ execute them...they're also prepared to let you know WHO they are....it's probably even legal to defend to yourself in china!
