Leveling the Playing Field
Len Swatkowski, program manager, Home Environment—Heaters, Jarden Consumer Solutions
One of the common issues within the global market of consumer goods is the desire to have a level playing field; the same rules for all companies. A level playing field—an analogy that seems universal in all markets—means more than buying, building, and selling. The path from identifying consumer needs to fulfilling those needs is fraught with local, regional, and international obstacles that not only make the playing field uneven, but often, frustrating.
The question is: What can we do to keep the rules by which we conduct business fair? The simple answer is: Get involved.
Oftentimes we don't get involved because of what we perceive to be the truth. And perception can be debilitating. Take, for example, my recent trip to China. With the election of a new U.S. president, Chinese newspapers were filled with speculation and conjecture over how the rules of the playing field may change. Whether Barack Obama's administration entertains protectionist Monroe Doctrine–like trade policies, or if it will continue the current open level of trade, is yet to be seen. Either way, the perception of the Chinese is that the playing field is tilting, and any change will adversely affect the Chinese economy.
While perception is reality in many cases, the fact is we do have some ability to control many of the real variables that impact these perceptions. The competitive playing field is influenced by environmental issues, labor market forces, commodity market prices, codes and standards, government regulations, fuel costs, and quality (retail and end-user). We can manage most of these variables by getting involved in the processes that create these factors. While there are fewer opportunities to control labor markets, commodities, and fuel prices, these can be hedged as well.
By directly participating in environmental health and safety (EHS) issues within our own business and contracted entities, we can manage the environmental stewardship that is becoming more economically than altruistically driven in recent years. Codes and standards are perhaps the easiest rules to affect through committee and advisory group participation. Government regulations are also manageable in most regions through trade associations, if not through direct intervention with Department of Commerce support. Quality is the easiest aspect to identify and manage, as it is internally managed and controlled.
As consumer goods businesses struggle with the impact of price and distribution and direct daily efforts aligned with the current playing field, the variables noted above are either lightly managed or ignored because of lack of resources. The cost of doing business must acknowledge the rules we can control. It's not dissimilar to complaining about government without voting; we need to participate in the process.
The marketplace, or playing field, is normally assessed in terms of the artificial controls that are present. Free marketers—supporters of the Chicago school of economic thought—believe that tariffs and other direct trade barriers disrupt the playing field and should be eliminated. Keynesian economic theory, based on economist John Keynes, acknowledges that government intervention is necessary for local markets to survive. As we ponder solutions for the loosely regulated banking industry, Keynesian theory is gaining momentum. However, several questions remain: How much government intervention is needed? How will it affect the consumer goods industry? And what countermeasures will other governments take to level the playing field for their home industries?
The shifting rebates and tariffs encountered in global markets are mostly beyond control. These aspects influencing the playing field are in the hands of governments looking to protect home markets. Game-changing initiatives, such as plant relocation, are sometimes the only option left to level the playing field in these matters.
We can take a proactive stance in matters of environment, codes and standards, government regulations, and the quality of our products. Internally focused resources can control EHS issues and the costs related to compliance. The same approach can be made for product quality. The remaining "rules" that impact the playing field are building codes, compliance standards, and government regulations.
By taking a proactive stance on these latter rules, we can take control of our future product requirements well in advance of actual manufacturing dates and have more-accurate product road mapping. Participation in code-making panels (e.g., National Electrical Code) or technical committees drafting future compliance requirements (e.g., Underwriters Laboratories) not only helps us prepare future product requirements in a rapidly changing market, but also provides an opportunity to create realistic, economic, and reliable technical solutions to compliance issues.
Industry trade associations are the other conduits for managing a level playing field for our products. These nongovernment organizations are critical to maintaining the flow of information from legislation, government agencies, and other global regulatory bodies that affect laws impacting the playing field for consumer products. Our membership and participation are the keys to successfully managing these issues.
While people are always talking about the weather, nobody seems to do anything about it. The same relates to the problems that global markets are facing today. If we don't participate, we shouldn't complain. By participating in the processes that affect our playing field, we will be better poised to address them and maintain a strong and vibrant consumer goods industry.
By participating in the processes that affect our playing field, we will be better poised to address them and maintain a strong and vibrant consumer goods industry.

said Thursday it has successfully tested a state-of-the-art Upper
Stage Engine Technology (USET) Hydrogen Turbopump Assembly (TPA) at
the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), Edwards Air Force Base,
Aerojet and its teammate, Florida Turbine Technologies Inc.
(FTT), Jupiter, FL, designed, manufactured, assembled and delivered
the turbopump assembly to the AFRL test facility and successfully
demonstrated steady state operation at 100 percent power. The USET
TPA has undergone 19 tests to date with testing scheduled to
continue through the summer months.
The USET program is an AFRL Integrated High Payoff Rocket
Propulsion Technology (IHPRPT) program that started in 2003 and is
focused on the next generation of physics-based modeling and
simulation design tools that will reduce design time, lower cost
and increase fidelity for the next generation engine. The USET TPA
was designed using this analytical capability while developing key
technologies for insertion to a TPA for a new upper stage rocket
engine that could replace the current Delta IV and Atlas V upper
stage engines. Aerojet's USET TPA is designed for a 45,000
pound-force of thrust upper stage engine and operates at 90,000
rpm. It is about the size of a swimming pool pump.
"Our Aerojet/FTT team has developed the key analytical
capability and technologies required for a next generation upper
stage rocket engine. We've demonstrated and validated the models
and technologies that will ensure an affordable program and much
shorter development schedule than previously possible," said Linda
Cova, executive director, Pump-Fed Engine Development programs at
Aerojet. "An upper stage engine turbopump like this hasn't been
successfully developed in decades."

New York, United...
I made this shirt using Dubarry 2349B, a men's pattern from 1939 (DuBarry was the pattern line for F.W. Woolworths and were designed by Simplicity). I bought the pattern on Etsy and it was in excellent shape considering its age. It has a removable collar and collar stand that fits over the band (which is sewn onto the shirt). You can wear it either way. The top closes with a shirt stud.
I love the fit of this shirt — trim and narrow. A great look.
There more about my shirt on my blog, Male Pattern Boldness.
I'm leading a men's shirt sew-along starting February 1 and we're already more than 50 strong — come join us!
More info here: Men's Shirt Sew-Along.
I used blue and white striped shirting from the Garment District here in NYC. It didn't occur to me when I bought it but it definitely has a vintage feel to it.

Jan 18, 2011, 09.23 PMby Peter Lappin
It's funny, when I bought that fabric last summer (spring?) it didn't look especially vintage, but it seems to fit that 1930s period, doesn't it?

M1 Deploys F5® Traffix™ Signaling Delivery Controller™ To Optimize LTE Roaming Services And Mobility Management
F5 Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIV) today announced that M1 Limited ( M1), a leading full-service provider of mobile and fixed communications services in Singapore, has deployed the F5 ® Traffix ™ Signaling Delivery Controller ™ (SDC ™) Diameter solution to optimize mobility management in its LTE home network and provide high quality LTE roaming services.
"M1 is the first operator in Southeast Asia to offer nationwide 4G in Singapore, and we are committed to delivering a high quality 4G experience to customers using our network in the country and when they travel overseas," said Patrick Scodeller, Chief Operating Officer at M1. "To achieve that goal, we selected the F5 Traffix Signaling Delivery Controller as a Diameter Edge Agent (DEA) to enable simple and seamless integration between our network and IPX carriers, and as a Diameter Routing Agent (DRA) for consistent network reliability and tight control."
"With the F5 Traffix SDC located both in the core and at the edge, M1's network is secure and protected by normalizing the flow of signaling messages, preventing failover or many other situations that could negatively impact performance," said Ben Volkow, VP, Product Development at F5. "Our Diameter-based SDC has proved itself in more than 30 installations with leading operators across the globe, enabling them to maintain top network performance despite LTE's demanding traffic levels. LTE requires operators to take a renewed approach in designing their network architecture due to the many challenges associated with the surge in data and signaling traffic, and M1 can be commended in its early understanding of the critical need for Diameter signaling management solutions."
Other key operator benefits that influenced M1 to select the F5 Traffix SDC include its ability to:
- Receive detailed information in each network transaction – Component-based tracing provides greater visibility of the control plane at a granular level. Operators gain information on subscribers and network operations, including troubleshooting insight to prevent service disruptions.
- Enable heterogeneous environments – Disparate components can work together efficiently and with greater flexibility in the network through message normalization of AVPs.
- Maintain one central address – An Element Management System (EMS) provides a wide range of reporting and control capabilities.

About Residential Programs
One of the greatest benefits of the College House program is the opportunity to live with students and faculty who share a passion for a particular subject. The Residential Programs are living environments that provide such an opportunity.Membership in a Residential Program is completely voluntary and requires a special application process — most often an essay.
Residential Programs applications for upperclassmen will be accepted January 15 at 9am – January 21, 2014 at 5pm, at MyHomeAtPenn.
Upon admission into a Program, the House Dean will provide an Occupancy Agreement for applicants to fill out which will then be forwarded to the Department of Housing and Conference Services.
Freshman applications for Residential Programs must be made through the online Housing Application. Incoming freshmen may list up to two preferences and these will be considered your top choices(s). Most of the Residential Programs require an essay at the time of application. The exceptions are the programs in Hill and Du Bois College Houses and the Film program in Gregory College House. Your essay should describe your present interests and activities related to the Program, the contributions you expect to make, and the benefits you hope to derive from community membership. Applicants' essays for the Modern Languages Residential Program should describe formal and informal language experience. Your essay should be no longer than 500 words. These essays are reviewed by the House Dean for acceptance into the Program and room assignment. The types of rooms available to freshmen are limited. While your preference will be considered, if accepted into a Program you will be assigned to any available space.
Huntsman Integrated Studies Program Freshmen enrolled in the Huntsman Program for International Studies and Business are required to select the Huntsman Program as their first housing preference. Similarly, Benjamin Franklin Scholars must request the Integrated Studies Program as their first housing preference. As residency is required for both programs, no Residential Program essay is needed.

WHAT IT IS: Australian Wild Plum & Willow Facial Cleanser for combination to oily skin from Pangea Organics.
Size: 4 fl oz
WHAT IT DOES: This Wild Plum Facial Cleanser features organic compounds rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids to support a healthy, radiant complexion. Combination to oily skin requires a little extra love. Too much cleansing can lead to an oil backlash while a lack of oil control leaves us vulnerable to build up. We've formulated a pure lather from sugar-based cleansing agents and Yucca extract to thoroughly cleanse the skin while respecting its delicate pH. This luscious lather is infused with a triple fruit complex of Wild Plum extracts to purify, refresh and protect your complexion while Willowherb works to maintain skin clarity. To top it off, we've added precious and nutrient-rich Manuka Honey for an amplified antibacterial benefit to deliver clear, balanced and radiant skin.
Brand: Pangea Organics
Origin: United States
Seven years traveling in Asia inspired Joshua Onysko to found Pangea Organics, a beauty supply company dedicated to social responsibility and eco-stewardship. The brand's humble origins trace back to Onysko's garage in Boulder, Colorado, where he produced the first soaps bearing the company's name. Pangea has since evolved to encompass shower gels, liquid hand soaps, hand and body lotions, facial cleansers, toners, creams, masks, scrubs and lip balms, which retail at select Sephora and Whole Foods locations. Pangea's products have been featured in Lucky and Vanity Fair, among others, and are guaranteed to be fair-trade, cruelty-free, organic, and hand-blended.

The most ancient part of Verona is surrounded by the river, and that is where the Dolce Vita apartment is situated; close to the Ponte Pietra, the oldest and most characteristic bridge of the city. Here, you will be amongst the typical restaurants, osterie and wine bars which occupy the historical buildings of the city's narrow streets. The atmosphere of this accommodation is romantic and sophisticated, in a French countryside style, with two separate rooms making it ideal for families, or for a honeymoon in Verona. A few metres from the apartment is a free parking place where you can leave your vehicle and explore every part of the centre on foot. On your arrival, you will be met by Anne, who speaks French and Italian, and will undoubtedly make you feel at home.

He states that the Growler upgrade for 12 of our 24 Super Hornets is a good idea, when in fact, such an effort will be a waste of money.
He states this about the F-35:
Air Marshal Brown said the fifth-generation JSF would meet Australia's needs for many decades, providing control of the air across the entire spectrum of conflict.
No evidence. The fifth-generation meme is just valueless. Worse, Brown tries to imply that just because an F-22 will clear the table of all threats, that the same can be done with the F-35.
The F-35 is not just a smaller F-22.
The F-35--by defects in its design--will not be combat effective for Australia's (or anyone else's) needs.
In an effort to save money for the ADF, I can think of one star-ranked officer that isn't up for the job and needs to find a different line of work. A star-ranked officer spreading disinformation, or just being badly informed (pick one) doesn't add any value to the defence of the nation.

Eureka launched the Whirlwind+ upright vacuum that offers maximum suction power with a 12-A motor and easy-access tools to cover more surfaces in less time.
Whirlwind+', 20-pound design combines with a 15-inch wide cleaning path to cover more space in less time. The vacuum's cyclonic suction technology packs dirt tightly into the dust cup, while a protective screen inhibits large particles from becoming embedded into the filter. Eureka said that these features enable more dirt to fit in the cup for longer cleaning endurance and less maintenance. When it's time to empty, the flip-bottom dust cup allows disposal of dirt quickly and with less mess.
Whirlwind+ also includes HEPA filtration that reportedly captures more than 99.97% of dust, allergens, and other small particles.
It will be available for US$129 this fall.

SCADA - supervisory control and data acquisition
Acronym for supervisory control and data acquisition, a computer system for gathering and analyzing real time data. SCADA systems are used to monitor and control a plant or equipment in industries such as telecommunications, water and waste control, energy, oil and gas refining and transportation. A SCADA system gathers information, such as where a leak on a pipeline has occurred, transfers the information back to a central site, alerting the home station that the leak has occurred, carrying out necessary analysis and control, such as determining if the leak is critical, and displaying the information in a logical and organized fashion. SCADA systems can be relatively simple, such as one that monitors environmental conditions of a small office building, or incredibly complex, such as a system that monitors all the activity in a nuclear power plant or the activity of a municipal water system.
SCADA systems were first used in the 1960s.

The Avalon Ladies Scrapbooking Society
A Novel
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
To tell the truth, I only got 1/4 of the way through. Boring....!
If you like Debbie Macomber's books, you will like this.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book about women's friendships. If you like Debbie MacComber , you will love this book. a heartwarming story about women coming together to support one another through troubling times.
This light novel is set in the Illinois town of Avalon. There are many characters here, but the core group includes Bettie, the founder of the Society and an avid scrapbook pusher; Isabel, still mourning her husband Bill, who left her for a younger woman and then died in an accident; Ava, the younger woman Bill loved and had a child, Max, with, struggling to make a living; Yvonne, a female plumber who has left her controlling family, but still mourns her severed relationship with longtime love Sam; Frances, who loves her three sons and husband Reed, but still longs for a daughter through a Chinese adoption; and Connie, whose early losses affect her ability to commit to relationships.
With the scrapbooking loosely connecting all these characters and more, there are many stories here, of love, of loss, of community. An upbeat novel.

Zoo Turning to Human Doctor to Ease Chimp's Allergies
The coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes; allergies are no fun, and we're not the only ones suffering. At the Sacramento Zoo, one of the chimpanzees has his very own allergist.
For years, Joe the chimp had sniffles, coughs, watery eyes and trouble breathing. That's when the Zoo brought in allergy specialist, Dr. Stephen Nagy. Sure, most of his patients are human, but when it comes to animals, Dr. Nagy says, "they have allergies too."
Working alongside Leslie Field, the Zoo's Mammal Supervisor, Dr. Nagy created an ideal cocktail to keep Joe's respiratory troubles to a minimum while improving his overall health.
Leslie says people are often surprised to hear Joe the chimp has his own allergist, "I don't think people realize how much we rely on human doctors and human remedies. Apes in particular are very close to humans, so we can make use of all the human doctors on the planet which is really nice for their care."
So how does a zoo keeper convince a clever chimp like Joe to take his medicine? Turns out, it's all in the delivery. The zookeepers get the chimps accustomed to taking juice or yogurt on a daily basis so that if and when they need to be given medicine, the process isn't scary or unusual.
It's not just allergists. Zoos everywhere pull in eye, foot and heart doctors to help with primate health.
"It enables us to give them the best care we can possibly give them-- it lengthens their lives." Leslie explains.
Chimps can live well into their sixties with the right care. Right now the zoo has two, including Joe, in their forties.Copyright © 2014, Orlando Sentinel

Bob McClelland was born in Gilmer, Texas and is a 1950 graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. He attended Medical School at The University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston before completing his internship at The University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City and his residency at Parkland. He also served two years of military service in the Air Force in Germany.
Dr. McClelland has been a faculty member of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center since 1962. In 1999, Dr. McClelland received the Ashbel Smith Distinguished Alumnus of the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.
Dr. McClelland also is one of the Giants of General Surgery who served at Parkland on Nov. 22, 1963, and he willingly and generously shares his story of being present that day. He was a close personal friend of Dr. Malcolm Perry.
He was the first faculty member to hold the Alvin Baldwin, Jr. Chair in Surgery, an endowment designated for support of surgical education. He has received more than 16 other awards over his long career — most of them related to teaching.
His influence as a medical educator extends beyond UT Southwestern into surgical training programs throughout the country. He originated, edited and published the Selected Readings in General Surgery, a reading program for residents in general surgery used across the U.S. Prior to his retirement, he transferred this program to the American College of Surgeons where it still continues.
Of all of Parkland's surgical Giants, Bob McClelland is one of the most revered by his former students and was known to host weekend study sessions for his residents before their boards. In 1990, former Parkland residents created a lectureship in his name. In 2007 he was appointed Professor Emeritus of Surgery and he remains an active participant in various medical school activities, especially those concerning student education.

Big Sweep is an international debris cleanup program in which citizens and community groups work together to clean up trash in their waterways. The program is international, and most states in the U.S. have their own program, and each county is encouraged to coordinate a cooperative effort for municipalities. ECO coordinates the effort in Henderson County each fall. During Big Sweep's 23-year history in North Carolina, almost 270,000 Big Sweep volunteers have retrieved more than 9 million pounds of debris. In 2008, NC ranked third in the country for the number of volunteers (18,330) and collected 264 tons of debris (527,778 pounds). The 2011 Big Sweep teams had almost 100 volunteers who cleaned just over 2,500 pounds of debris from 9 miles of streams around Henderson County.
This next Big Sweep (2013) needs more volunteers than ever and you can help make a difference in protecting our most precious resource. According to ECO Executive Director, David Weintraub, "the basis of our way of life in WNC is our watersheds. Protecting them by cleaning, monitoring and nurturing them is critical to maintaining the health of our streams. Big Sweep is the first step to being good stewards of our natural resources." Diamond Brand is offering coupons for 20% off one regular-priced item for volunteers participating in Big Sweep. First Citizens Bank is supplying bags for clean-up. Harris Teeter and Ingles are supplying water bottles and granola bars for participants.

Teacher performance report: should the Times have named names?
Dave Einsel/Getty Images
Ckaris Williams, a teacher and Hurricane Katrina evacuee, prepares her classroom at Douglass Elementary School in Houston September 7, 2005.
Response to the LA Times analysis of teacher performance in the Los Angeles Unified School District has been lively. Although the paper has invited the 6,000 elementary school teachers assessed to submit comments to be published alongside their rating, teachers' union leader AJ Duffy is calling for a boycott of the Times. Is it appropriate for the paper to name names? Will the database benefit parents, or misrepresent the hard work of LA educators?

PCTEL Consolidates Into PCTEL Connected Solutions And RF Solutions
PCTEL, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCTI), a leader in simplifying wireless and site solutions for private and public networks, announced today that it would combine the Antenna Products Group and Connected Solutions into PCTEL Connected Solutions. Jeff Miller, who has been promoted to President, Connected Solutions will manage that group's sales, marketing, product and business development, and engineering. Tony Kobrinetz, as Senior Vice President and COO, Connected Solutions, will manage that group's production, distribution, and manufacturing operations in Bloomingdale, Illinois, Lexington, North Carolina, and Tianjin, China. In that capacity, Tony will also serve as the Corporate CTO and CIO. David Neumann, who has been the Vice President, Global Sales for RF Solutions has been promoted to Vice President and General Manager, RF Solutions. As part of this re-organization, the company's Network Engineering Services group, led by Bob Joslin, will now report to David.
The consolidation of the company's product and service groups into two businesses reflects the similarity in customers and focus between the scanning receiver business and network services and, similarly, the shared customers and product solutions between Connected Solutions (formerly Telworx) and the Antenna Products Group.
"I am fortunate to have a deep and experienced management team that can take on broad and very detailed responsibilities. Jeff and Tony will find both growth opportunities and cost-saving synergies that will propel Connected Solutions to an exciting new scale," said Marty Singer, PCTEL's Chairman and CEO. "David Neumann, who worked for this management team at SAFCO Technologies back in the late 90's and who has made outstanding contributions in building our scanning receiver business in China and with various OEMs, has the support of the entire RFS and former NES organization. He is and will be an outstanding leader for this new organization," added Singer.
The company anticipates that PCTEL Connected Solutions will contribute approximately 70-80 percent of the total revenue in 2013 with RF Solutions contributing the balance. Tim Scronce, who had been leading the Connected Solutions operation has left the company to pursue other interests.

President Signs Levin's Asian Carp Prevention and Control Act into Law
Tuesday, December 14, 2010
WASHINGTON - President Obama today signed into law a bill authored by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., that will aid in the fight against the further spread of Asian carp in the United States. The Asian Carp Prevention and Control Act, S.1421, will add the bighead carp species of Asian carp to a list of injurious species that are prohibited from being imported or shipped in the United States under the Lacey Act. The Senate approved the bill in November. Levin introduced the bipartisan bill in July 2009 with Sen. George Voinovich, R-Ohio. Levin and Voinovich co-chair the Senate Great Lakes Task Force.
"This law is an important step in the effort to keep Asian carp out of the Great Lakes," Levin said. "These fish pose a real, clear and growing threat to the Great Lakes and I will continue working to ensure tools like the Asian Carp Prevention and Control Act and others will be available as we counter this threat. The devastating effects Asian carp could have on the Great Lakes are not fully known, and I want to make sure they are never realized."
The Asian Carp Prevention and Control Act will list the bighead carp as injurious wildlife under the Lacey Act, which was originally passed by Congress in 1900 and amended in 1981. Listing the bighead species of Asian carp under the Lacey Act will help prevent the intentional introduction of the species by prohibiting the interstate transportation or importation of live Asian carp without a permit. This legislation will not interfere with existing state regulations of Asian carp, and it will allow states to issue permits to transport or purchase live Asian carp for scientific, medical or educational purposes. The Fish and Wildlife Service has already listed other species of Asian carp as injurious under the Lacey Act.
Originally introduced into the United States as a management tool for aquaculture farms and sewage treatment facilities, Asian carp are voracious eaters that can grow up to six feet and 110 pounds. These non-native species were first used in Louisiana catfish farms in the 1970s to control snails and vegetation. In the mid 1990s, flooding allowed the Asian carp to escape from fish farms. They have spread to most of the Mississippi River watershed and the Missouri River, devastating the food resources and habitats of native and sport fish populations. The bighead carp, along with the other species of Asian carp, now account for the majority of fish in the Missouri River.
Because the Mississippi River is connected to the Great Lakes through a man-made sanitary and ship canal, Asian carp are now close to entering and establishing themselves in the Great Lakes. They also threaten entry into the lakes via a flood plain which could open passage for the carp in Indianas Wabash River.
In addition to Levin and Voinovich, other Senate sponsors of the bill were Sens. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., Chuck Schumer, D-NY, Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY, Russell Feingold, D-Wisc., Richard Durbin, D-Ill., Robert Casey Jr., D-Penn., Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.

The combined sleeping and dining area on Duet incorporates seating and four berths with most of the remaining berths forward of the galley. Of the 10 passenger berths on board, some of which are very 'cosy', 7 are used for the group. The compact galley is fully equipped with necessary utensils, a small gas oven and hob, a small fridge and a sink. There is one toilet and wash area. 'Cosy',
Areas of operation
Duet operates a flexible sailing area depending on the demand for her service. She may sail from Ipswich in Suffolk or head up the coast towards Scotland or south to Portsmouth. From here she can either explore the South Coast or sail across the Channel. Duet is a keen competitor in the annual Tall Ships' Race and has been both class and overall winner.
Group numbers
The maximum group number for residentials (including leaders) must not exceed 7, all of whom should be aged 12 or over. We recommend at least one leader within the group or more depending on the needs of the young people. Day charters can accommodate up to 10. The sailing staff includes a Skipper and Mate.
Duet is a fine example of a gaff-rigged yawl retaining the features of an Edwardian classic yacht. She is 21.95 metres long (including spars) and has a beam of 3.38 metres. Duet is built of wood with beautiful teak decks and has most of her original high quality fittings including the original rig. One noticeable change however, is the addition of a deckhouse over the aft cabin removed from 'Bloodhound' (Prince Philip's yacht) during modifications in the sixties.
Designed by Linton Hope and built at White's yard on the River Itchen in Hampshire, Duet was launched in 1912 as 'Gaviotta'. In the early 1930s she was bought by Augustine Courtauld, a famous explorer, who renamed her 'Duet'. When he died in 1959, ownership passed to his son, the Reverend Christopher Courtauld who, with Mr Christopher Ellis, formed the Ocean Youth Club in 1960. The Club used Duet for youth sail training from then until 1994.
Christopher has now passed on ownership of Duet to younger members of the Courtauld Family on the understanding she is still operated for the purpose of sail training.
In 2012, Duet celebrated her centenary year by sailing around the UK. The 'Voyage to Success', which received the Inspire Mark in recognition of its links to the 2012 London Olympics, was sailed in 11 legs, each with a different group of young people on board. Visit the ships b(log) to read about the 'ups and downs' experienced by the young people and the positive impact that results from the challenge of life at sea.

My normal summer go-to fin is a pair of L makapuus that I wear right-side up; however, I've found if I get foot cramps, sometimes switching them to upside-down helps.

My winter over-the-socks pair of fins is a pair of XL Australian Manta Blade IIs that came free with my apartment, and I find that they just have way more thrust catching the wave when I wear them upside down. Somehow, right side up, the curve is wrong and they just drag and push water the wrong direction. Here's a pic of some extremely similar fins:

I tried this cacao powder as it was cheaper than the first brand i bought and reviews were ok, but although I'm sure the quality is okay I found the flavour lacking not strong at all compared to the gold brand i first bought

Aukštos kokybės (galima spręsti ir pagal kainą produktas). Bet man sunkiai virškinosi, kai suvalgydavau jausdavos sunkumas skrandyje, gal dėl to, kad kakava - ankštinis produktas ir termiškai neapdorotas skaitosi toksiškas; Very high quality product, although my stomack wouldn't accept it.

This is an excellent product. It's a pity that I've never had a bag that will reseal. They need to fix this!
Going to buy the nibs

Purchased at iHerb
I have bought this brand many times and love it! But, I just read an article about cacao powders. It said, "One of the products tested by ConsumerLab was Navitas Naturals cacao powder. They found .950 ppm cadmium in the Navitas sample. There is no nutritive benefit to cadmium -- it is a toxic heavy metal linked to kidney damage, cardiovascular disease, skin disorders and more." The Natural News Lab showed similar numbers. I am going to try the cacao nibs which have lower concentrations.
