Updated express story

The express story has been updated to include more than was in the printed story.

It now includes the following comments from the British Association of Social Workers:
Nishra Mansuri, of the British Association of Social Workers, recognised the whistleblower’s comments and said: “It’s a major concern. The cuts are creating so much pressure for social workers that the right decisions are not being taken.

“We’re storing up so many problems, but the odds are against us.”

May I remind JH that I have an audio tape of a SW in my home statig 'I want to close the file but my manager has said I have to rewrite my report as you sound too good.'

John, myself and "Sarah" are becoming increasingly concerned about the media and her case, while we appreciate the media attention and we hope it goes some way to expose all of these types of cased sadly we are frustrated with the lack of factual reporting, over the last two weeks day in day out we spend communicating with Chloe Thomas only to find she had not reported anything we were expecting nor were the facts put to press as we wanted, we are currently having a second look at this now as its not worth us wasting substantial amount of time for the story to be half arsed reported, notwithstanding we are crossing a thin line while we do this

if you're not prepared to descend to their level you have already lost.....statement of fact, not a delusion

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...
