A unique experiment was conducted in China. According to its results, we will be able to prolong our life cycle. The main revelation was finding an aging marker in mitochondria of worms. They represent a cell power plant with no free radicals in it.

What appeared to be one of the best nursing homes in the capital is in the red now. Grandmothers and grandfathers, who relinquished their apartments in exchange for care are not fed properly, and are forced to pay for their stay in a government-owned building.

There have been long queues for pensions at all branches of "Ukrposhta" in the Crimea. Some were lucky enough, but many people do not know when they will receive their money. Pensioners behaved aggressively at some post offices.

The parliament will urgently submit for consideration the indexation of pensions. Such a decision was made today by the social committee of the Seym, despite of objections from the opposition. Payments to people of the retirement age are expected to rise already this autumn on the average by 8 Euro. The federation of pensioners drew attention of parliamentarians to the fact that pensions would be increased disproportionately. They also reminded the coalition that those in power had promised once to promote reducing inequality in society.

Today, Crimean pensioners received their first payments in Russian roubles. Money was paid off in cash through the "Krympochta" network. A third of the Crimeans in retirement age, who constitute about two hundred thousand people, received their pensions. Other funds will be wired on April 5. The Russian currency has officially been circulating on the peninsula since yesterday.

The Minister for Social Policy, Lyudmyla Denysova said that the ministry would have settled a debt of 359 million Hryvnia before the 25th of March, but has no technical opportunities to do so. The treasury has been unable to wire up the money to Ukrainians for two days now, as the peninsula got disconnected from the system of electronic payments. 

Despite of the difficult situation in the country, financing and welfare payments, payments of reimbursements, benefits and pensions are being carried out stably and in accordance with the schedule. The Pension Fund and the Social Security Department say that funds are being received on time and they have not got any information about cutting down on social programs.
