Passport Photos

The link is to the current photo rules. At the time of writing these have not been changed. This link is about the simplified standards for children. At the time of writing it is dated 21st December not 21st November (unlike the answer below).

Being a sceptical sort of individual I wonder if we have a coverup of the timing of the decision to simplify children's photos. This would be an important issue because if they are willing to hide when they changed the rules about baby photos what about issues relating to the War in Iraq - or any other government embarrassment?

I suppose it could be "baby photo gate"

Perhaps that is pushing the "watergate" analogy a bit far.

The government will fall !!! :-) !!!

[incidentally if they change the website I have printed a couple of copies to disk to prove they have changed it.]

The issue about baby photos is actually relatively minor, but it shows the stupidity of the bureaucratic process. It does not take a bear of very much brain to work out that photographing a baby with its mouth closed, eyes open, looking at the camera and a neutral expression is almost impossible.

We are preparing a question as to why the written answer refers to November when the website refers to December. I have done a google cache search for anything at an earlier date to no avail.

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
