Judge as as prosecutor and judge

For me the particularly interesting aspect of the secret imprisonment of 11th October is that it appears that the judge imprisoned the mother because the judge did not believe what she said. Now that means that the judge is actually prosecuting the mother for perjury as well as sitting in judgment. The mother said her children were somewhere, but they were not.

The point about this is that there are lots of legal precedents that the judge should not sit in judgment on this case and hence it could be challenged on appeal. How does one do that when one knows neither the name of the mother of her solicitors.

Dear John

I notice that in some of your blogs on Family Court matters you refer to the RCJ Press Office. This in my opinion is a waste of time.

You would be better advised to take these matters up with the Judicial Complaints Office, and make formal complaints against named judges. Nothing will change, particularly in regard to jailing people in secret, until a judge is actually suspended and disciplined for breaking a law which has been in place since 1965.

I am aware of a similar case going back to 1999 so this type of 'justice' has being going on behind closed doors for a very long time. In the case in question the father was imprisoned in Pentonville for the non - disclosure of the whereabouts of his wife and 4 stepdaughters. In fact he could not have known their exact whereabouts as his family were not resident in one place and at the time of his imprisonement were making their way back to the Uk I.

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...
