Twitter and jurisdictional issues

Much that the presence of the twitter account that purports to reveal contents of a number of super injunctions was in the news on Monday, the account is still there and now has 113,865 followers.

What we have is a law that is not generally accepted as well as a law that only really benefits wealthy men.

The point about the checks and balances in the system is to ensure that the laws do have general acceptance through the parliamentary systems.

One of the challenges, however, is that when courts sit in secret and make orders that themselves are secret it is difficult to get clarity as to whether the laws do or do not have general acceptance.

Obviously when it comes to the question of privacy it has become quite clear that the current position does not have general acceptance.

My own view is that some of the other things that have been kept secret by court orders are issues that would not have general acceptance. However, that can only be tested by getting those issues into the public domain.

Work on this continues.

After Jane Davies in West Wales started a petition in the streets, I put it online: The Secrecy of the Family Courts should be lifted NOW is on http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/the-secrecy-of-the-family-courts-should-be-lifted-now.html.

Maybe people will realise that there are injunctions for these and injunctions for those purposes: private people interested in their public image and public authorities ruining the lives of private families!

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...
