The rank hypocrisy of family court judges

The title is one of Camilla Cavendish whose article is linked, but it is a sentiment I share.

The secrecy in the family courts does not protect the children it protects the system and those who operate it.

I have written a response to Munby's published judgment (the publishing of which we need to thank him for), but it may be published elsewhere first.

Although I don't agree with the judgment it is good that it is published and we must thank him for this. If other judges published their judgments this would be a step forward (and perhaps they would recognise that their judgments are not generally supported).

Could the father take a lie detector test, then he can change the future outcomes in the courts, because if he voluntarly summited to a test the court has to balance this with the information it has and then take it into account in any future proceedings, would save all these arguements on paper and fidling about the bush in courts if he was to prove his innocence this way and then have the safe return of his daughter ensured.
After all what are the lie detector tests there for if they are not going to be used to help a case or person in the first place.

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.
