Recent research conducted in Australia reveals that hair is important for UV skin protection. An excess of electromagnetic radiation in the ultraviolet waveband can cause severe damage to skin cells and their DNA. Fortunately, various natural protection mechanisms exist, but until recently, one has been almost entirely overlooked in the dosimetric literature. New details are revealed in the latest (July 2012) edition of the popular journal Radiation Protection Dosimetry, which features a paper from a cross faculty team at the University of Southern Queensland, Australia.

The Big One (17-1)
Thursday 2nd of August 2012
Wheaton Aston to Norbury Junction.
It was overcast first thing in the morning as we prepared to move on. However, later we had the odd break for the sunshine to warm our backs. Quite a few boats on the move, however few of them were hire boats.
The Shroppie has lived up to its reputation and we had some stunning views from the top of the Shelmore embankment. The Shelmore Embankment gave Telford more headaches than anything he'd ever built before. Many times it slipped while being built and even after it was finished a slide occurred and a number of years passed before it was fully rebuilt. By then the great engineer had died of old age.
Doing FA for common sense!
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Its water-pistols at dawn methinks.
A couple of kids are name calling in the playground, it seems that's what football has degenerated in to. Don't get me wrong, I love football. I do begrudge the high wages but at the same time I recognise the skills that are on display.
So what's happened to bring the Fruitball Association into disrepute.
The inmates in the playpen of the Fruitball Association have become embroiled in the cloud-cuckoo-land that is Twitter. Footballer Rio Ferdinand, was charged with bringing the game into disrepute by the Fruitball Association after acknowledging a tweet from a Twatter follower earlier this month. The Tweet on Twatter described Ashley Cole another fruitball player as a “choc-ice”. I kid you not, the Fruitball Association has its knickers in a twist, because Rio Ferdinand acknowledged the tweet on Twatter.

The Big One (16-7)
Wednesday 1st of August 2012
Autherley Junction to Aston Wheaton.
The rain continued for most of the night only easing around dawn. We were disturbed in the middle of the night at 3am when Poppy the dog started barking. A couple of people were observed hurriedly walking along the towpath on the opposite side of the canal.
The Napton Narrowboats boatyard at Autherley seems to have a good selection of hire-boats moored up in breasted pairs. This may be another sign of the poor weather so far this year. Now we have a twenty five mile section of the Shroppie with only one lock at Wheaton Aston before we get to the Tyrley five.
