Twenty-eight working days -- that's all it took to construct the building back in 1935 which now houses Hampton's newest industry.
One of Hampton's fabulous and almost unbelievable feats was recently brought to light as the Pearse Leather company of Salem, Mass., headed by owner-manager Ben Pearse, commenced partial operation of what presently promises to be Hampton's largest year round industry. The story of the cooperative effort which gave Hampton its second leather industry just 26 years ago, almost to the month, is in its own way being unfolded again as a former egg distribution and processing building is being transformed into one of New England's finest leather processing plants.
The man behind the 1961-62 effort is Ben Pearse, an energetic, personable man with three generations of family experience in the leather business in his favor. His own workers size him up as an "honest, hardworking young man." Climaxing many months of conferences with Building Inspector Alfred Janvrin and other town officials along with many hearings before the Zoning Board of Adjustment, the Massachusetts firm was given the green light to set up operations late last fall.
The central office and plant for the new firm was previously located in Salem. Mr. Pearse, a present resident of Hamilton, Mass., is completely transferring his entire operation from Salem to Hampton on a full time basis.
Former workers in the building located on Kershaw Avenue off Lafayette Road, would hardly recognize the old environs should they return. The interior of the structure has been completely revamped. Wiring had to be entirely overhauled, heating systems enlarged, and concrete floors poured in portions of the building to hold large pieces of machinery necessary for the leather processing work.
Old partitions were removed and new ones erected. One piece of new machinery after another has been installed, all under the supervision of Mr. Pearse.
Although Mr. Pearse expects renovation and operational setup procedures to take nearly a year before operations are at a maximum peak performance, work has already begun, with the tanned leather arriving constantly and the processed tanned leather being shipped as quickly as work permits.
In brief, the work of the new industry consists of the processing of leather. Tanned, rough leather is converted into beautiful, high finished, quality leather ready to be manufactured into shoes, moccasins, hand bands and wristbands for watches, to mention a few.
Portions of the over all process consist of the "buffing" of the leather. This procedure removes the imperfections of the grain through the use of giant paper abrasives. The dust is also removed from the leather at the beginning of the conversion process. This dust is collected in what actually amounts to a giant vacuum sweeper with 280 bags eight inches in diameter and eight feet long. Dust can be accumulated for nearly a month in the giant hopper located outside the building before it has to be removed. The hopper, when completed, will have have a sprinkler system to combat any fires which might occur.
Further operations include a "mossing" operation which cleans the back of the leather to make it soft and velvety to the touch. In the "seasoning" process which follows, the actual finish, including the various colors, is applied.
The new Hampton plant is unique in that it manufactures all of its many chemicals. As many as 50 colors in one day have been applied to leather for various job orders. Fourteen basic shades make up the initial colors with more than 606 formulas in the working file, allowing workers to make any color in the spectrum. More than 3,000 formulas have been worked out by the firm. Labor throughout the entire process, is highly skilled and, in order to work with leather, Mr. Pearse stated that a great deal of training and knowledge is needed.
Following the application of one or two coats of coloring, the leather is dried with specially constructed hot air machinery. The leather then goes through an "embossing" or "plating" machine which "knocks" the leather down to a smooth surface. Following another seasoning coat, the leather is again plated to obtain the desired sheen. During the plating process which is done under as much as 250 degrees heat and 30 tons of pressure, the desired textures and prints are obtained.
The leather is then measured to determine the footage in each piece, then rolled or bundled and shipped.
Once the plant is ready for normal, fulltime operation, Mr. Pearse expects the average daily output to be 20,000 square feet with a maximum daily capacity of 40,000 square feet. Employment will include approximately 40 persons when peak performance is reached.
Nine members of Mr. Pearse's Massachusetts staff have come with their employer to continue work in the processing business. All are skilled in their various jobs including Ernest Blodgett, James McKinnon, Melvin Walters, Ernest Limataines, Bill Madden, Mrs. Palmyra Maga, John Marco and Joe Louis. The balance of employees are local people.
Also coming with Mr. Pearse was Bob Kaplan, sales manager for the company. Mr. Kaplan summed up the move to New Hampshire with these words: "When I was first asked to drive to Hampton, I surely thought that I was going to see a combination post office and a general store. I was so pleasantly surprised when I arrived at the center of town that I stopped my car and gaped in amazement. I asked various points of information of a police officer who was indeed very cordial.
"To sum up my feelings, you have a most wonderful and progressive town. The local business people with whom we have been dealing have been most co-operative. The local men and women who are working with us are very willing people.
"I am far from an editorialist, but my feelings are sincere, as are those of Mr. Pearse and all his personnel. It is the hope (and with the help of God) that we continue to expand in your town and further enjoy the privileges that this town offers."
This is Hampton industry, 1962, but without the efforts of an equally determined, diligent, forward looking group of citizens back in 1935-36, Hampton's newest industry would probably not be locating at it present spot in the present building. Herein lies a story in itself, which will be reviewed next week.
No story about Hampton's newest industry -- The Pearse Leather Company -- would be complete without a review of the efforts of local citizens 26 years ago to locate new industry in Hampton which can be considered a pioneering program of industrial development as it is known today.
It all started back on October 24, 1935. For many months, discussion had been going on among local townspeople relative to the building of a shoe factory which would employ workers living in Hampton who had previously been compelled to travel great distances for work. Almost overnight a movement originated in which the Hampton Beach Area Chamber of Commerce perfected plans for a business which attracted the attention of a firm desiring to locate in Hampton.
On October 30, 1935, interested citizens met at the Greenman Leather Factory on High Street, which is still Hampton's oldest industry excluding that of summer recreation. During the meeting, it was reported that a sum of $6,000 had been realized as a basis towards the building of a structure to house a new industry. Because the firm, then located in Haverhill, Mass., had a lease which expired on January 1, 1936, the committee was pressed for time.
On November 12, 1935, an enthusiastic group assembled at the American Legion Hall to choose officers and appoint a building committee for the purpose of erecting a factory suitable for the manufacture of shoes. For some time tentative plans had been drawn by Mr. Maurice Witmer, a Portsmouth architect who, as district manager for the Federal Housing Board at that time, had been interested in a building of this nature for Hampton.
Thence began one of the greatest co-operative efforts in the history of Hampton. With adequate funds provided by selling stock among townspeople for one dollar per share and matched with Federal aid, officers were elected and plans were laid for what seemed like an impossible ask of construction. In passing, it is interesting to note the list of officers, some of whom have since died, while others are still active Hampton citizens.
Chosen as president was William Brown, long time town clerk and local funeral director. The vice president was Albert Lamie, founder of Lamie's Tavern now retired and living in North Hampton. Elected as treasurer was Charles Greenman, still owner of Greenman's Shoe Factory and Mrs. Wayne Bryer, then Miss Deborah Gale, was elected as secretary. Directors were Joseph Kennedy, Harold W. Winchester, John A. Janvrin, Thomas Cogger, Frank L. Moody, Dana Chase, Cyrus G. Clark, Mrs. Grace Burnham, Arthur L. Penniman, Dean B. Merrill and Arthur P. Heath.
The building committee consisted of John A. Janvrin, father of Hampton's present building inspector; Thomas Moore, a long time local contractor; Arthur Brown, owner and founder of A. W. Brown Plumbing and Heating now operated by his son; John Doe, Edward S. Seavey, Sr., owner of the Hampton Publishing Co.; Dean B. Merrill and Joseph Kennedy.
Within the powers of these citizens lay the seemingly unsurmountable task of raising a building for a new industry in approximately 30 days.
Starting in the face of a New England winter, the contract was awarded to local contractor Thomas Moore. Exceptionally warm weather, however, aided construction as it was announced on November 21, 1935 that the Bradford Shoe Co., of 98 Phoenix Row, Haverhill, Mass., was ready to move to Hampton as soon as the building was completed.
The firm, engaged in the manufacture of women's high grade McKay shoes and men's slippers, giving employment to approximately 200 workers was one of the largest of Haverhill's industries. Daniel O'Leary, president of the new company, was well known throughout the shoe industry as a salesman. Clarence Kershaw, the other partner, served as factory manager.
Assisting in the building of the project were such local contractors as Arthur Brown and Herbert Beede, plumbers: Arthur Heath, A. J. Morse and Roland Emery, with the co-operation of the Exeter and Hampton Electric Co., teamed up to undertake the electrical work. Contractor Moore moved the construction of the building at an unbelievable pace. Wilbur Jewell supplied the heat while William Blake undertook the painting of the window sashes which had been especially hauled to the scene by the J. A. Janvrin Lumber Co.
By December 20, machinery and equipment were being moved into the building. On December 27, 1935, 350 persons gathered in the new building to celebrate. Major Francis Murphy addressed the people. He stated "It is the businesslike solution to the welfare situation to rehabilitate industry in New Hampshire. This state has done almost nothing in this respect. Hampton's citizens have pointed the way for the rest of the state to solve the welfare situation."
Other persons taking part in the celebration were Edward S. Seavey, Sr., acting as toastmaster; and Selectman (chairman) Elroy Shaw and Chamber of Commerce President, John A. Janvrin. Thomas Moore, William Brown and Charles Greenman all spoke of the success of bringing new industry to Hampton. All contractors who had teamed up in one of the greatest co-operative team efforts ever witnessed in Hampton, architect and new owers were present for the celebration.
Thus, 28 working days following the pouring of foundations, the building which houses Hampton's newest industry was completed and occupied. With the future of Hampton's economic situation hanging in the balance, and long range plans calling for many items of construction, present citizens would do well to recall and review the efforts of this gallant band of Hampton citizens of some 26 years ago as citizens salute Mr. Ben Pearse and Hampton's newest industry.

perfect example. When we reserved our room on the internet, we thought our hotel was in Kuta Beach but it turns out it was in Sanur Beach…….. and we ended up being very happy about our mistake. Sanur Beach is a very small and quiet town. It is on the southeast corner of the island about 30 minutes from Kuta Beach which is located on the southwest corner of the island. Our hotel was beachfront and offered us the sanctuary of a private beach, which protected us from sales people offering us everything from a massage to a “special deal” on travel. We visited Kuta Beach and discovered that it is quite busy and very touristy with shops, restaurants, and nightlife, most designed for the younger crowd. Lots of noisy bars and neon lights, it was very crowded and chaotic. Definitely not our style.
We always enjoy the beach, and are not disappointed here. This last stop in Asia also gives us the chance to rest up a little and get ready for New Zealand, which will provide many opportunities for hiking that gorgeous nation.
Our lives have slowed down...which is what we were hoping for.
in 2002 and 2004. These bombing occurred in Kuta Beach so that is another reason we are glad that our hotel was in Sanur Beach. The island has really suffered financially since the bombings as tourism has really dropped off, although we were glad to hear that the last few months it has really been on the rise.
We have enjoyed our time in Bali. It is a beautiful island. Like most places we have visited, the people are quite friendly. And like most of Southeast Asia, the people work many long hours for little money and are living day to day is most circumstances. They work to give their children a better life, but the conditions make that a tall task.
other nations. It provides a good perspective on how lucky we are to live in America. So many things that we take for granted are luxuries for the people in these countries.
This blog is very short because we didn’t do much exploring here….swimming, reading and walking on the beach.
More than 300 languages are spoken in Indonesia, but an official language, Bahasa Indonesia (regarded as the purest Malay), has been adopted and has spread rapidly; it is now understood in all but the most remote villages.
In Dec., 2004, a huge tsunami caused by an earthquake off NW Sumatra devastated Aceh, killing some 130,000 people, and a subsequent earthquake in March, caused much destruction on the islands of Simeulue and Nias, west of Sumatra.
We are having the best time on our trip around the world!!
of culture, which includes advanced forms of music, folk drama, dancing, and architecture. They are Hindu in a nation that is overwhelmingly Muslim; their unique ritualistic culture, as well as the island's scenic beauty, has made Bali one of the great tourist attractions of East Asia.
We have realized that two of the things that we are enjoying the most is spending time together and having time to sit and think.
A very good band. They were rockin' out.
We really enjoy having time to sit and think.
We have gotten very tan in the past couple of weeks!

Sorghum is normally promoted for upland habitats, but is can also be a very effective food source for deer.
Grain sorghum (often called milo) has been promoted for upland bird habitat, but it is also an effective food source for deer. On the property I’ve managed we’ve planted a lot of milo over the years. It has two positive points and two negative points. On the upside, the grain heads are well utilized throughout the fall, but the plant itself is not touched during the summer, regardless of deer density. This all but guarantees a crop come fall. Also, sorghum is a more resilient plant than corn and will compete well with weeds and still produce heads. It grows well even during fairly dry summers. Like corn, you can generally find a free source for milo, helping to reduce the cost of the planting.
However, on the downside, once deer get used to eating milo they will eat the heads to the stem just as soon as the seeds reach the “dough stage”. This is the point when the seeds take shape but haven’t dried down – typically in September. Again, this is a learned response by deer in moderate to high-densities.
Sorghum will produce both late fall nd winter during the first year or two, but after that it reduces to only early fall.
The first year or two of a sorghum planting program in this setting will produce the desired result – late fall and winter food – but after that you may only be producing early fall food for consumption at a time when deer could (and should) still be eating legumes and other protein-rich foods.
As another negative, sorghum is less desirable than corn as a winter carbohydrate source. Therefore, it can’t be counted on to bring deer running when the mercury drops the way corn can. In areas with lower deer densities where both can be grown effectively, corn is better. Sorghum has a place in a larger management program but for our five-acres it doesn’t make the cut.

After the unfortunate „last minute“ defeat at home against Kaunas, the punks in the series wanted to submit again.
With the start of the final third, the punks got a penalty for delaying the game and had to start with one less player. Kaunas took advantage of this opportunity and Zukauskas could shorten his goal to 1-2 (42.). Kaunas now saw a chance to come back. Both teams were now taking full risk and there were plenty of chances on both sides. In between, there was a power play, but remained without a goal. Towards the end it got really turbulent. after a foul a nice „old school“-hockey brawl developed. When the situation calmed down, four players, Babic and Nikulin from Kaunas, and from punks Zheltakov and Pikcius, had to sit in the penalty box. In the final minute Kaunas tried everything again, took a time-out and twice went Goalie Pavliukov from the ice. It took advantage of nothing more, the punks win game three and go in the series with 2-1 lead.

Assistant Minister for Innovation Wyatt Roy today announced the release of the Australian Intellectual Property Report 2016, which provides a detailed breakdown of the nation’s intellectual property (IP) trends.
“Intellectual property is a powerful tool to support and drive innovation, consistent with the Government’s National Innovation and Science Agenda,” Mr Roy said.
“This 2016 report provides valuable insights for industry, stakeholders, innovators and researchers into the Australian innovation landscape.
The report shows Australian businesses are increasingly protecting their inventions, brands, designs and plant varieties.
In 2015, demand grew across all four IP rights including patent applications (up 10 per cent) and trade marks (up 14 per cent and the best growth in a decade). Design applications were the highest for any single year on record and applications for plant breeder’s rights hit a five-year peak.
“The figures indicate a strong rise in the number of entrepreneurs and businesses protecting their IP in Australia,” Mr Roy said.
A recent Australian Bureau of Statistics survey found 21 per cent of Australian businesses reported protecting their IP.
However, the rate increases with business size – 60 per cent of large firms (more than 200 employees) and 16 per cent of micro-firms (0-4 employees) using some form of IP protection.
The Australian IP Report is an annual publication promoting awareness of IP rights and developments. It is released by IP Australia, the Australian Government agency that administers IP rights and legislation relating to patents, trade marks, designs and plant breeder’s rights.
The 2016 IP Report is available at www.ipaustralia.gov.au/ip-report-2016.

As a newly launched Job portal, it may take us a little more time, but we are doing our upmost best to give you the highest response you deserve for your Job Postings. You can proactively help us increase awareness more quickly by inviting your candidates (found via other job-boards) to our site and get them to complete our bespoke OAF, which will enable you to manage their profiles via our custom-built for security companies FREE Candidate Management Dashboard, so called ATS!
Our OAF feature IS FREE for Jobseekers and currently costs £10 only to the Employers.
Our OAF meets with the next stage of the Employer’s hiring requirements after viewing a standard CV. It satisfies the security industry standard (BS 7858) and has a unique Gap finder, called 5 Year Summary, designed to assist in eliminating any Employment gaps / missing details within the Employment and career history section.
OAF is offered to the Employers as an online self-service facility which is in-built into our bespoke Applicant Tracking System (ATS) on each Employer's Account/Dashboard offered for FREE. Every time a candidate applies for your job, his whole profile including access to his OAF will appear on the Employer's ATS.
Once the Employer has purchased access to viewing any Application Form (OAF), they can start actively participating in encouraging the candidate (selected via CV or Video interview) to complete their OAF to a level of 100%.
The software will display to the Employer on their Dashboard the latest (REAL-TIME) completion level (from 0% to 100%) of each OAF. In some cases, Jobseekers will have been proactive and have completed their OAF to 100% without any Employer encouragement, therefore, they will be Ready-To-Go.
Access to these OAFs will remain at the same price, currently at £10. (READY TO GO jobseekers will be in greater demand with actively recruiting Employers).
Our OAF feture reduces scanning/posting costs and provides continuity of work flow within Departments.
By using our universal OAF for the security industry, Jobseekers don’t need to spend time and money travelling to numerous security companies to complete different paper versions of Application forms, thus avoiding constant repetition for themselves and cutting down on paper costs for the Employer.

An indigenous education advocate in Winnipeg says the federal government's 2015 budget is not providing enough funding to help aboriginal students.
The Conservative government's budget, which was tabled on Tuesday, earmarks $200 million over five years starting in 2015-16 "to help support First Nations to achieve better education outcomes, including building partnerships with provincial school systems."
But that amount falls short of the $1.9 billion that Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced in February 2014, says Rebecca Chartrand, an aboriginal education consultant with the Seven Oaks School Division.
The federal government is not providing enough money to help aboriginal students succeed, said Chartrand, who is seeking the Liberal nomination for the Churchill-Keewatinook Aski riding in the upcoming federal election.
"There's a need for infrastructure to build more schools, to bring more resources and support to students in schools," she told CBC News late Tuesday.
"There's a need right across the board to support learning for First Nations children."
She added that aboriginal schools pay the same amount as public schools for resources, staff and materials, so aboriginal education deserves the same level of funding.
"Where's the money going to come from?" Chartrand said. "It's going to lead to more crisis situations in First Nations communities."
Harper had pledged the $1.9 billion to support his government's First Nations control of the First Nations education act. A number of aboriginal leaders do not support the proposed legislation, which will not proceed.
The funding proposed in this year's budget will "support the First Nation Student Success Program and the Education Partnerships Program," according to budget documents.
The budget also proposes investing $12 million over three years in the Indspire program, which provides post-secondary scholarships and bursaries for First Nations and Inuit students.
The government announced in November that it will spend $500 million on building and renovating schools on reserves.
National Chief Perry Bellegarde of the Assembly of First Nations described the budget as "a status-quo budget, and the status quo is not acceptable.
"We don't see any investments in housing to deal with the 130,000 units we need. We don't see investments in education on reserves. There's still a huge fiscal imbalance there," be said.
"We don't see any investments even in access to potable water. There are still 93 communities with boil-water advisories."

Corona del Mar High quarterback Cayman Carter, Newport Harbor tailback Talalelei Teaupa, Estancia running back Robert Murtha, and CdM kicker Griff Amies and defensive end Tim Reinhardt have been selected to play in the 54th Brea Lions Club Orange County North-South Prep All-Star Football Game at Orange Coast College on June 28.
The five seniors from Newport-Mesa Unified School District schools will play for the South All-Stars. CdM Coach Scott Meyer will coach the South.
Carter, who plans to walk on at Southern Methodist University, led CdM (12-2, 5-0 in Pacific Coast League) to a second straight CIF Southern Section Southern Division championship and the program's first undefeated league championship.
Carter passed for 2,210 yards and 17 touchdowns, with only six interceptions, and rushed for 1,073 yards and 15 touchdowns. He earned All-CIF Southern Section Southern Division, Daily Pilot Newport-Mesa Dream Team Player of the Year and All-Pacific Coast League MVP honors.
Teaupa lifted Newport Harbor to its best record (4-1) in Sunset League play in 35 years and the quarterfinals of the Southwest Division playoffs, the program's first quarterfinal appearance in seven years.
Teaupa rushed for an area-best 1,662 yards, to go with 11 touchdowns. His single-season yards ranks eighth in Newport Harbor's history. He earned All-CIF Southern Section Southwest Division, third-team All-Orange County, Dream Team Offensive Player of the Year and All-Sunset League Offensive Player accolades.
Murtha, a three-time All-CIF Southern Section Southern Division selection, rushed for 1,594 yards and 15 touchdowns, leading Estancia (7-4, 4-1 in Orange Coast League) to the Southern Division playoffs for the fourth straight year.
Murtha, the All-Orange Coast League Offensive Player of the Year, finished as the Newport-Mesa career leader for yards rushing (5,489) and touchdowns (58).
Amies, who is bound for Orange Coast College, converted 22 of 30 field-goal attempts, tying the state single-season record for field goals made. His longest successful field goal was a 52-yarder.
Amies, who converted 45 extra-point kicks and recorded 26 touchdowns, garnered first-team MaxPreps All-American, first-team All-Orange County and Dream Team honors and the All-Pacific Coast League Kicker of the Year award.
Reinhardt, a two-time All-CIF Southern Section Southern Division selection, finished with nine sacks, 47 tackles, one safety and one forced fumble.
Reinhardt earned second-team All-Orange County and first-team All-Pacific Coast League honors.

Five-year-old Hunter Johnson colors the pictures on the page to show which things he can do with his dad. Then he circles all the things he still can do after his dad deploys. It’s just one of the activities in his deployment activity book that helps him better understand his dad’s military deployment and its effect on his own daily life.
Hunter received the book at a Yellow Ribbon Program (YRP) pre-deployment briefing he attended with his family. Since the inception of the program in 2008, books have been a vital part of supporting military families before, during, and after deployment. Resources used in this Department of Defense initiative cover a wide range of topics, including marriage enrichment, financial management, family benefits, leadership strategies, communication techniques, and spiritual wellness.

Children also attend the two-day event. When they arrive, the young kids carry with them confusion and anxiety. When they leave, they have a better understanding of how many others share their challenges, and, like their parents, they carry with them a book to help them through the deployment.
Nothing feels quite as comforting as being handed a fun activity book created just for them. The book Hunter received was My Dad’s Deployment: A deployment and reunion activity book for young children. Children who had a mom deploying received My Mom’s Deployment, the mom version of the 112-page activity book.
Marine wife Julie LaBelle wrote the activities for the books. Tapping into her experiences as a military wife, preschool teacher, and mother of three children who struggled with their father’s deployment, Julie created the books to help facilitate communication between parents and young children and to help children better understand their situation.
“I wish there had been books like this when my kids were little,” Julie says. While her husband was deployed, she watched her children freeze up on the phone when they had precious minutes to talk with their dad. She realized they could have practiced the calls and they would have been more prepared to better connect with him on the phone.
Julie wanted something that would help military families with those daily challenges of deployment. Through guided exercises, the activity books encourage regular connection between the parent at home and the child during deployment and foster communication between the child and service member before and after the deployment.
“There is learning on both ends…for the parent and the child, and then they share with the deploying parent before they leave and when they return,” Julie says. The fun activities in the book, such as deployment-related mazes, matching, coloring, and crafts, give young children a safe way to ask questions, talk about feelings, and feel connected to their parents.
Implementation of Yellow Ribbon Programs varies slightly within each branch of service, as well as from state to state, but the intent is the same. Families and service members are offered support and resources to help them from preparing for deployment through three months into reunion.
By including the youngest members of the families, the depth of support increases. For families with children, the stressors of deployment can be significantly complicated. More than two million American children have experienced a parent’s deployment, 78% of them under age 11 (National Military Family Association, 2010). For much of the history of the military, the focus has been on the preparation and resources available to service members, but the needs of the family members, and specifically the children, were not being met.
Books such as the deployment activity books are provided at no cost to children who attend the program.
“The children really enjoy getting the books,” Peloquin says, “They are wonderful tools, and the kids get to take them home with them and go through them on their own time.” And for kids like Hunter, that can make all the difference.

3-Nitrobenzanthrone (3-NBA), a carcinogenic air pollutant, was investigated for its ability to induce cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1/2 and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) in liver, kidney and lung of rats treated by intra-tracheal instillation. The organs used were from a previous study performed to determine the persistence of 3-NBA-derived DNA adducts in target and non-target tissues (Bieler et al., Carcinogenesis 28 (2007) 1117-1121, ). NQO1 is the enzyme reducing 3-NBA to N-hydroxy-3-aminobenzanthrone (N-OH-3-ABA) and CYP1A enzymes oxidize a human metabolite of 3-NBA, 3-aminobenzanthrone (3-ABA), to yield the same reactive intermediate. 3-NBA and 3-ABA are both activated to species forming DNA adducts by cytosols and/or microsomes isolated from rat lung, the target organ for 3-NBA carcinogenicity, and from liver and kidney. Each compound generated the same five DNA adducts detectable by P-32-postlabelling. When hepatic cytosols from rats treated with 0.2 or 2 mg/kg body weight of 3-NBA were incubated with 3-NBA, DNA adduct formation was 3.2- and 8.6-fold higher, respectively, than in incubations with cytosols from control animals. Likewise, cytosols isolated from lungs and kidneys of rats exposed to 3-NBA more efficiently activated 3-NBA than those of control rats. This increase corresponded to an increase in protein levels and enzymatic activities of NQO1. Incubations of hepatic, pulmonary or renal microsomes of 3-NBA-treated rats with 3-ABA led to an 9.6-fold increase in DNA-adduct formation relative to controls. The highest induction in DNA-adduct levels was found in lung. The stimulation of DNA-adduct formation correlated with expression of CYP1A1/2 induced by the intra-tracheal instillation of 3-NBA. The results demonstrate that 3-NBA induces NQO1 and CYP1A1/2 in livers, lungs and kidneys of rats after intra-tracheal instillation, thereby enhancing its own genotoxic and carcinogenic potential.

Headache and Migraine Specialists are a growing network of medical practitioners who are committed to improving the lives of migraine and headache sufferers.
Through a combination of shared best practice and the latest research, Headache and Migraine Specialists hope to establish common guidelines and pathways of care that ensure the best available treatment for patients.
Headache & Migraine Specialists work closely with GPs, commissioning bodies, health centres and hospitals to reduce the cost of assessment and treatment of head pain.
The World Health Organisation estimate that 250 million work and school days are lost in the UK every year as a result of headaches and migraines. Repeat visits to doctors surgeries, expensive brain imagining and reliance on pain medication place a strain on the health service and yet investigation of underlying problems cause anxiety and treatment – when it exists – is often ineffective.
Headache & Migraine Specialists offer an alternative approach that is cost efficient and effective in significantly reducing pain for the vast majority of sufferers.
Headache and migraines are usually the result of a combination of triggers ranging from genetic predisposition to reactions to food additives and stress. One often under-diagnosed cause is cervicogenic pain emanating from the shoulders and the neck. Poor posture, sitting still for hours at a time, repetitive movements and tension result in pain signals being sent that are subsequently misinterpreted by the brain as head pain. Clinical observation has shown that skilled physical manipulation by physiotherapists who are trained in headache and migraine treatment can reduce pain for over 80% of sufferers.
We are always happy to hear from medical practitioners who are interested in joining the network. For further information please see our website or contact Headache & Migraine Specialists on 0844 264 0305.

I love to read about people’s adventures. Learning about the exciting things that other people are getting up to makes me smile – it helps me to understand even more than life is all about the journey and that life can be fun and exciting. I read lots of adventure-focussed blogs, follow adventurers on twitter, and have even recently bought a couple of adventure writing books – yes, actual books.
I blogged a little while ago that I felt too old and sensible for adventure. I explained that I felt adventure travel, expeditions, taking risks, is for those who are young, have no ties and lots of spare money. I still feel this in some ways. I feel that “adventurers” are a special breed; they are people with super powers (and lots of time/money) who have the opportunity to spend their lives training for, planning and going on amazing trips. I don’t resent them by any means, I love to hear about what they are doing, but despite all the things I’ve been able to do so far in my life, I know I am not one of them.
One of the reasons I think this way is because of some of the statements that adventure writers have made. Such as (and I am paraphrasing here): “guided tours are not adventures as they are easy”, “if you have your phone and use it to tweet photos then you’re not having an adventure”, “to be an adventure you have to reach the limit of physical endurance”, and “if you call it an adventure then it isn’t one”. I understand what the writers are saying I think – they are saying that adventure must be out of your comfort zone, and to have the best experience you have to come up with something unique, train hard and focus fully without distraction. But statements like this also make me feel like the things I do, the dreams I have, are not as meaningful as theirs.
These statements mean that the vast majority of us have never had and will never have an true adventure. I completely agree that doing something at the limits of human ability, or going somewhere incredibly remote on your own with no local help, is most definitely an adventure – there is no doubt about that. But what about all the smaller things I can achieve? Surely adventure isn’t just for those who are super fit, super wealthy and super confident? Adventure can also be for us ordinary folk.
The dictionary says that adventure is “an unusual and exciting or daring experience“. As adventure is an experience, the level of risk needed to make it so changes depending on the person involved. It depends on who you are, what your fears are, what your circumstances are. It therefore doesn’t matter what your budget is, how long it lasts, or even whether someone else has already done it ten (or a hundred) times before. It is fine if it’s for yourself or for charity. It’s okay if you employ the services of a guide, agent or friend to help make it happen. It’s not a problem if you don’t sleep under a plastic sheet, don’t kill/forage and cook your own food, don’t travel half way around the globe, or don’t nearly die doing it.
One person I know of that believes this is Alastair Humphreys, who’s recently released book “Microadventures” describes ways to have 5pm to 9am adventures close to home/work. The main idea is that you set off from work at your normal leaving time, travel to somewhere not far but remote, sleep under the stars, get up the next morning and go straight to work. A one night, mid-week expedition that involves a tent (or bivvy bag) and a dip in a lake in the morning instead of a shower. He explains that adventures can involve eating in a pub or cooking on a beer can stove. They can involve walking five miles, cycling 15 or taking the train 50. They can be on your own or with friends or family. Microadventures like this can be for everybody – all ages, all fitness levels, all careers. Don’t want to camp out under the stars? Get to a youth hostel and sleep in a dorm room instead. Don’t want to go wild swimming? Make your way to a local swimming pool for an early morning swim in warm water after your night away. The point is doing something like this from 5pm to 9am is a great way to have a little adventure without giving everything up and becoming a full time adventurer. I love the idea – I must do one of these soon!
But even if it’s not an Al Humphrey’s inspired adventure (the book is really great, I recommend it), other things still count too. New things. Scary things. Things in daylight. Things at the weekend. Dare I add things that include a nice hotel stay?! And definitely things you do once using experience vouchers just to give it a try. The only proviso is that you do it for you, to challenge or test or develop or dare or enjoy yourself.
An adventure is an experience that you have, that you plan, that you work for, that you dream about, that you achieve, that you re-count with a big smile on your face. What it actually is, from a one-day hike up a big hill in Yorkshire to a long term expedition in the wildest location, makes no difference to the label. If what you are doing is a bit daring and exciting for you, if it gives you a adrenaline rush or a bit of a refreshed look on life, then you are having an adventure.
Carrying the Olympic Flame through Lincoln – Definitely an Adventure!
Personally speaking, my biggest problem with having big adventures has always been my ability to choose one. Until I can learn to make decisions and focus on them fully I will continue to choose small personal adventures, whilst reading about the amazing things that those I look up to are doing. I will have lots of little experiences that challenge and develop me, and give me many stories to tell. I will continue to add to my big bucket list, as silly as the things might be, blogging and taking photographs, using each thing I tick off to make the most of my journey. One day I might be a book-worthy adventurer, you never know, but for now I will continue to smile my way through each step I take.
Are you adventurous? Or an adventurer? What do you think adventure is? Can little things be described as adventures or does adventure have to be massive? How much risk does there need to be for something to be considered an adventure? If you could go on any adventure this weekend what would it be? If you were me, what would you add to my bucket list?
Life is all about the journey. Let’s have our own adventures!
Loved this. You hit the nail on the head IMO. This is something that I’ve been having a real struggle with lately – “what does adventure actually mean?”. Wrote a post about it recently because I found myself become fairly cynical towards the “exclusive” nature of the whole adventure-scene. Really that’s completely unfounded. Because going off the definition, like you say, it’s just a type of experience. Everyone experiences things, therefore everyone can have an adventure! You don’t have to go on an epic trip.
Been thinking about this a lot and looking back at some cherished memories. I’ve done a big trip before, but in all honesty it’s the shared experiences that have become my most cherished. Those shared with friends on a weekend in the mountains or on a beach or on a lake.
Adventure is the hard experiences, the ones that excite you, or make you nervous. Adventure is valuable experiences. It is endlessly vast and does in no way need to be tied to some big trip.
Thanks Dave. I completely agree, especially when you say adventures are the things that make you nervous, that’s a good way to put it. I am definitely not knocking big epic expedition type adventures (I admire those who go on them and still really hope to go on my own one day), but it is wrong to think it is the only form of real adventure or that for some reason some adventures are worth more than others. If life is all about the journey then every adventure/experience/thing that provides a cherished memory is something worth doing.
I totally agree! In the past I have become frustrated that I don’t have the money to go on adventures abroad as often as I would like to. Only recently have I discovered that there are plenty of adventure waiting on your doorstep, e.g. exploring new trails when out on long runs (getting my map out when lost) or following the Grand Union Canal out of London and seeing how far you can go in a day before taking the train back. And I would even add me learning to swim to my adventures as I used to be really scared of water. As you said, anything which pushes you out of your comfort zone is an adventure. There are plenty of adventures to be had right where we are at this point in our life.
Absolutely right. Today I had the day off so I took myself over to Edale to hike Kinder Scout – and in today’s heat that was definitely an adventure! I think it’s really important everyone has adventures; they help no-end in putting smiles on people’s faces.

AUSTRALIE – Adelaïde - A painstaking dig in the heart of the Adelaide CBD, at a Waymouth St site earmarked for an apartment development, has uncovered the structural remains of the “new” Queen’s Theatre, built in the mid to late 1840s. The 21-day project, completed on Thursday, also revealed a tavern, a tobacco importer’s warehouse, a horse bazaar and a deep well. Excavation director Guadalupe Cincunegui said her team had unearthed artefacts covering more than 150 years of history. They include thousands of tobacco pipes, champagne bottles, ceramics and a beautiful water bottle, providing vital information not found in written records. One was a fragment of a Willow-pattern ceramic — Willow being a Chinese-style ceramic pattern popular in late 18th century England. Ms Cincunegui identified it from the faintest of faded marks on what was once most likely a decorative plate. Enough artefacts to fill more than 100 boxes will now be sorted.
TURQUIE – Lyrboton Kome - Archaeologists have discovered Anatolia's oldest olive oil press, dating back 2,000 years, in the Lyrboton Kome settlement located near the southern Turkish city of Antalya. Akdeniz University Archaeology professor, Nevzat Çevik, explained that the Lyboton Kome Ancient City was a unique production center with the presence of high-capacity olive oil plants. Perhaps one of the most revelations, Çevik explained, was that a woman founded many of the olive oil facilities. Çevik said that a woman named Arete, meaning "honor," established the settlement itself."This woman was the owner of the settlement. She had the tower built and dedicated to the Emperor Domitian and Perge Artemis. And the most important thing is that she institutionalized production by founding olive oil facilities."
INDE – Gadag - A rift between a landlord and workers over the sharing of treasure found while digging a construction site, has led to the seizure of 82 ancient gold coins reportedly belonging to the period of the Vijayanagar empire in Gadag district. The gold coins, kept in a clay pot, were found while digging the land belonging to Jyothi Hiremath of Mulagund of Gadag district. The coins reportedly date back to the 15th century with the name Pratapa Krishna Raya (another name of Sri Krishnadevaraya) inscribed in Devanagari script on one side and images of Lord Krishna, Lord Ganesh, an elephant and a camel on the other side. Some of the coins don’t have any images on either side. According to experts the coins were in circulation during the period of Sri Krishnadevaraya, who is said to have got Veeranarayana Temple built in Gadag. Considering the significance of the find, the Archaeology Department officials have planned to conduct further excavation at the site.
USA - Cap Fear - Plunge into history with Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson’s newest exhibit, a colonial-era toilet bowl now on display at the site’s museum. This circa 1760s artifact is possibly the first archaeological evidence of indoor plumbing in the lower Cape Fear region, according to Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson State Historic Site Manager Jim McKee. It’s the latest addition to the site’s permanent exhibits. The artifact made it’s way back to the historic site in mid-March and was placed on public display. The 18th Century toilet bowl has been sitting in storage in Raleigh, since it’s since its discovery within the Russellborough ruins at Brunswick Town by Archaeologist Stanley South in the late 1960s. The toilet and tunnel system were found within the ruins of the colonial home built on a roughly 200-acre property in Russellborough .Though the more than 200-year-old toilet bowl has been damaged though the ages, the square rim of the toilet is visible on much of the artifact. McKee said you can also see remnants of a hole in the bottom of the toilet bowl where waste would exit, possibly through a lead pipe. The toilet bowl is made out of a substance called coquina, a concrete-like substance similar to soft limestone made from broken shells. But the prominent colonials who lived in the Russellborough home weren’t sitting on a stone-cold toilet seat. McKee said it’s likely that there was a wooden seat covering the stone bowl with an opening, that would have likely sat in a wooden box in the floor. Based on current research, McKee believes a tank would have rested above the toilet seat, and filled with water. It’s possible tank water would have been flushed manually with a string. Waste water would have dumped into a pit and then flushed through the tunnel system, which would carry away the waste from the house, down the buff and into the rice fields and marsh.
USA – Phoenix - Archaeologists recently unearthed evidence of prehistoric people and remnants of Phoenix’s first fire station in the heart of downtown, where the area’s only grocery store is set to break ground April 13. Until then, the dusty bricks and possible remnants of pit houses give a rare window into the history of a site that has long been at the center of city society. Crews finished Friday a three-week dig at Block 23, named for its place in Phoenix’s original townsite. The land at First and Washington streets was most recently used for parking and has a long list of documented uses starting in the 1880s. But archaeologists also found signs of some of Arizona's earliest people. The team thinks ceramics and other uncovered artifacts could be from the Red Mountain Phase, a predecessor to the Hohokam culture that settled in the area for more than a millennium until about 1450 A.D. Testing samples like pottery fragments and pollen will determine a more precise time period, said Alex Howard , archaeologist for Logan Howard, the firm contracted for the work.
ROYAUME UNI – Mersea Island - Archaeologists on an early morning walk along the Essex coast have found a six-foot-long mammoth tusk buried in the sand. When the archaeologists dug down around the tip, they discovered the 6ft (1.8m) tusk hidden in the beach, around 1,000m from the shore. They also took small samples of the tusk itself, and from the ground around and below it, in order to date the find, which could be 14,000 years old.
FRANCE – Sélestat - Des fondations, des tomettes bien conservées par le sol dont elles ont été recouvertes pendant plus de deux siècles et une stèle mortuaire déplacée : voici ce qu’il reste de palpable de ce qui fut l’église la plus richement décorée de Sélestat, construite de 1404 à 1407 par l’ordre de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem (on parle aussi des Johannites). Ces traces ont été découvertes lors des fouilles archéologiques préventives de la place du Docteur-Schweitzer, réalisées mi-mars par Archéologie Alsace. Plus explicite mais plus étonnant, un dessin en couleurs daté de 1511, étonnante perspective vue de dessus, représente très nettement l’église, insérée dans le site de la commanderie : une longue église dotée à son extrémité orientale d’un chœur surmonté d’une flèche, alignée entre, d’un côté, les remparts, et de l’autre, la commanderie de l’ordre de Saint-Jean. Cet ordre s’était établi à Sélestat en 1265, a retrouvé l’historien sélestadien Raymond Muller, sans doute en raison de la situation de carrefour géographique de la ville et de sa richesse potentielle, ayant d’ailleurs attiré d’autres ordres religieux tels les Dominicains, les Franciscains, les Bénédictins…Ordre monastique et militaire, cet hospice avait pour fonction de secourir et de protéger les pèlerins qui se rendaient à Jérusalem. Il fit construire une commanderie sur un terrain offert par la famille des Rathsamhausen, situé alors en dehors de la ville fortifiée, ainsi qu’une chapelle dédiée à Saint-Michel. Afin de protéger la commanderie, la Ville érigea de nouveaux remparts en 1276.

Fifty Early Medieval Things introduces readers to the material culture of late antique and early medieval Europe, north Africa, and western Asia. Ranging from Iran to Ireland and from Sweden to Tunisia, Deborah Deliyannis, Hendrik Dey, and Paolo Squatriti present fifty objects—artifacts, structures, and archaeological features—created between the fourth and eleventh centuries, an ostensibly "Dark Age" whose cultural richness and complexity is often underappreciated. Each thing introduces important themes in the social, political, cultural, religious, and economic history of the postclassical era.
Some of the things, like a simple ard (plow) unearthed in Germany, illustrate changing cultural and technological horizons in the immediate aftermath of Rome's collapse; others, like the Arabic coin found in a Viking burial mound, indicate the interconnectedness of cultures in this period. Objects such as the Book of Kells and the palace-city of Anjar in present-day Jordan represent significant artistic and cultural achievements; more quotidian items (a bone comb, an oil lamp, a handful of chestnuts) belong to the material culture of everyday life. In their thing-by-thing descriptions, the authors connect each object to both specific local conditions and to the broader influences that shaped the first millennium AD, and also explore their use in modern scholarly interpretations, with suggestions for further reading. Lavishly illustrated and engagingly written, Fifty Early Medieval Things demonstrates how to read objects in ways that make the distant past understandable and approachable.
"Fifty Early Medieval Things does an excellent job of presenting objects as agents in, and informants of, the medieval world, as well as how medievalists have come to understand the nature of 'things.' Suitable for medieval survey courses and beyond, this book's innovative presentation opens new possibilities for teaching the early Middle Ages."
"Fifty Early Medieval Things is an important teaching text that serves to underline the importance of material culture studies to the medieval era. The scholarship is outstanding, the range of objects impressive, and the geographic coverage welcome in its breadth. The entries for the ‘things’ are clear and delightful."
"The objects and their biographies in Fifty Early Medieval Things open up all sorts of interesting questions and present a varied and complex picture of the early medieval world. There is a really wonderful selection of things here, and I will certainly use this book in my early medieval class."

Van Bo Le-Mentzel is tackling the big question of what makes good entrepreneurship—and he is finding the answer in the Crowd.
Until recently, Andris was homeless, now he is living a life of luxury. His 5-square-metre house has a live-in, dine-in kitchen-bathroom as well as a bedroom with a window. The Unreal Estate House, in which he sleeps, eats, and reads, does not belong to Andris. Many people financed its construction; they all own it together. Van Bo Le-Mentzel likes that: not owning anything, sharing everything. He designed the Unreal Estate House and raised 3,000 euros in material costs via crowd-funding. Not for himself, but for the crowd, and at this particular moment for Andris, because the crowd wants him to be able to live there.
Le-Mentzel is an architect-turned-furniture-designer as well as a keen critic of our type of economy. In the time it takes you to read this article, he will have fished at least three new projects out of the sea of ideas in his head. Le-Mentzel tweets and blogs, teaches workshops, holds presentations, and is constantly kicking off new projects.
the German welfare program for the long-term unemployed, Hartz IV. The designer posts instructions online for free, among them the building plan for the Unreal Estate House, the most sophisticated item so far.
So far, about 50,000 established home improvers and new DIY aficionados have downloaded Le-Mentzel’s instructions from his blog. He estimates that a quarter of them live in precarious circumstances, just like he did when he first started his furniture project. Le-Mentzel does not care about money or copyright, as long as no one else tries to commercialize his ideas. All he wants is to make people a little happier when they build his designs: to get good karma flowing. He likes to observe how the items change through the work of others. He instantly sends the newest creations out into the crowd—a word he uses a lot.
For Le-Mentzel, the crowd is key to a free way of living and working. The crowd meets in online networks and is in a constant state of flux. His crowd is now almost 22,000 strong: people who like his Facebook page Don’t consume, construct! and who share their ideas and support each other. Add to this about 1,000 Twitter followers and an email newsletter list of a few thousand. And the virtual crowd also works in real life: The Unreal Estate House is in Berlin only because someone took it there from Munich, where it had been built in front of the Pinakothek Modern Art Gallery-arranged online.
It was also in cyberspace that Le-Mentzel found around 1,000 people who, like him, adore Chucks, the legendary basketball shoe. But the brand belongs to Nike, which by a long shot fails to meet Le-Mentzel’s standards for fair manufacturing. So he started producing shoes himself, using ecologically sound materials and paying a fair wage to the workers who make them. Via the crowd-funding website startnext, he found enough willing financial supporters of the Karma Chakhs, as he called his alternative model, as well as some people who lent their expertise to the endeavour: fair trade experts, people with connections to factories. That is why Le-Mentzel says he did not launch the production by himself: “The crowd did it.” And the crowd did well: two batches have already been shipped to fans of shoes, humanity, the environment, and the Internet. The third “harvest” is in the pipeline, and the shoe has recently been renamed Karma Classics – it’s already more legendary than the original.
The Karma Classics come to those who want them free of any expectation of profit—but only with their help. Good enterprise brings good Karma, says Le-Mentzel. Money is only a means to an end. To him, the Karma Classics prove that the traditional value chain, which connects one beginning with one outcome, has outlived its purpose. Today, the consumer who used to wait at the end of the chain is involved in every step along the way, is part of the product history, and has to assume responsibility. At the moment, the karma community is taking some of the responsibility off Le-Mentzel’s shoulders: In the future, a Karma Association is to ensure the production and continuous improvement of the sneakers.
With his various initiatives, Le-Mentzel is searching for answers to his 7 W’s—seven objectives that all happen to start with a W in German: free ways of dealing with knowledge, living spaces and the space in the clouds, warmth, water, well-being, and guidance. When asked what he has learned in the past two years, he immediately mentions three things: “First: The crowd is smarter than me. Second: Let the people you do something for get involved as well. And third: It’s okay to fail. The main thing is to get started in the first place.” The designer defines success as something that will let his little son’s future children live well in freedom and fairness—his very own concrete definition of "grand-child-ability."
To achieve this, he has—of course—already launched a number of new ideas. The Crowd Book, for example, that anyone can use as a template to print books with a regular household printer, and the D-Scholarship, a group-financed basic income for full-time volunteers.
While Le-Mentzel is busy, Andris in his mini house might be turning on his Indie-Pendant Lamp, the latest piece of Hartz IV Furniture, and looking out over the softly glistening water. Both are good for karma. And that is what it is all about.

The government has lifted suspension slapped on all examinations after a Grade 12 mathematics paper 2 was leaked and circulated on social media early last week.
Addressing journalists in Lusaka Monday morning, General Education minister David Mabumba said necessary security measures had been put in place to avoid a similar incident.
Mabumba further confirmed the authenticity of the leaked Mathematics paper and partly blamed some established tuition centres.

Japanese Environment Ministry announced on Friday that Nihon unagi, or Japanese eel, is from now on the officially “endangered” species list in Japan. The eel was added on the Red List of animals ranging from “threatened” to “extinct.” This means there is a high risk for the eel to be completely extinct in the near future, just like other endangered fish species that live in domestic rivers or lakes.
The Japanese eel was placed in the category of “vulnerable” species only five months ago, in September 2012. “Vulnerable” is the first category that threatened species are ranged in. Experts think that the causes of the declining eel numbers are the loss of natural habitat, as well as overfishing. Japan is one of the world’s most important consumers of eel, accounting for nearly 70 percent.
The eel has a great importance for Japan’s food culture, experts say, so protection measures such as limiting fishing are mandatory in order to save the species.
However, the Red List has no legal authority in Japan, so the measures could easily be broken in the future. Japan’s Fisheries Agency promised to take protection measures, but as it is an agency that works for profit, it is difficult to say how many of the regulations will be actually maintained. China and Taiwan actually export large quantities of eel to Japan, and the three countries already begun to discuss about limiting catches.

We are recommending you drive the Douglas Crescent circuit to avoid the dangerous U turn near the gate at the bottom of Roberts Avenue. This will also mean less traffic at the crossing, making it safer for everyone!
Alternatively, you can drop off and pick up on Ray Street - at the top of the school - or near the green bridge on the Midland Highway, as both streets have School crossings.
Children are expected to obey the directions of the crossing supervisor at all times. The School Council, through the Principal and staff, is responsible for the conduct of students on the way to and from school, unless an adult accompanies them.
It is most important children are not encouraged to access cars in the middle of the road, or other inappropriate places. The crossing outside the school is to be used at all times by students and their parents.
Children must wear a helmet when riding a bicycle to and from school. Bikes are stored within the school grounds, and it is recommended that valuable bikes be locked.
Bus travel is available for some children who live out of town. This is co-ordinated through the Bus Co-ordinator at Castlemaine Secondary College (Junior Campus).
