Nomination goes in

I am the sort of person who believes in getting nominations in on the first possible date rather than the latest possible date.

Nominations opened at 10am today. I arranged for an appointment at 11am and my nomination was accepted at about 11.15am.

The party's campaign seems to be going quite well. Labour are criticising our proposals to increase the tax threshold to 10K.

Their argument is that it does not benefit everyone on a low income. However, I think it is important to make sure that people are better off if they work than if they don't work.

The current system makes life quite difficult for people on lower earned incomes who struggle to make ends meet. For them £700 a year is a lot of money.

It is also in society's interest for fewer people to be on the dole and to encourage people to be thrifty.

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.
