A kitkat free advice bureau

I think today was the busiest advice bureau with 18 groups of people (some of which were one person). I had over 40 people present which made me so busy I could not find time to eat the Kit-Kat I had bought before starting.

I have had 40 people present before, but that involved three substantial groups adding to about 20 plus 20 others.

Because I don't run appointments I cannot be certain how many people I will see and some bureaux have been quite quiet.

We are trying to encourage people to phone, write or attend during the week. However, I work hard to make sure that I do the Saturday bureau myself. Officially it starts at 11 and runs for an hour. However, I normally try to start about 10.30am to clear the queue. I did manage to finish at 12.15pm which I thought was quite good.

I wanted to take my 5 year old swimming later as I have the St Patrick's day parade and a party event tomorrow which will prevent me taking her swimming.

It is looking worryingly cold tomorrow. The last time I played the guitar for St the Patrick's day parade my fingers got numb. A previous year was spectacularly wet.

Hopefully it will be reasonable weather tomorrow.

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...
