Tall Ship Tecla – Circumnavigating the World from Arctic to Antarctic
A Circumnavigation around the world is defined as navigating around the world by water. Most people think of this in terms of sailing West – East or East - West, but it is just as far and more challenging sailing North - South from The Arctic to Antarctic and back. You can't actually take a ship to both poles as ice and land gets in the way, but globe trotting steel tall ship Tecla is planning to get pretty close to both, in terms of navigable waters. She is not an icebreaker, just an original Dutch herring drifter, built in 1915.
Tecla - Venturing into Unknown Territory for Charter Crews
The Tecla tall ship Circumnavigation around the world has begun. Tecla is starting to eat up the miles into new territory this week. The ships crew and guests have sailed to the East Greenland Coast and managed to navigate though the sea ice to land in a few places, by the look of their satellite track. This is a bonus for the crew on board, as it looked unlikely in the planning stage, that they would be able to get through the broken sea ice and icebergs that haunts the East Coast and the tip of Greenland. (The South West Coast of Greenland is generally more accessible to vessels than the remote east coast with it strong coastal current)
First Classic Sailing Ship to Round Cape Farewell (Greenland)
Tecla is making her way South and will shortly to be the first Classic Sailing ship to sail around Cape Farewell to West Greenland. After an 11 day voyage exploring West Greenland they will be positioned in Illuissat, ready for the most tricky part of their route: Transiting The NW Passage by tall ship – the elusive narrow route across the top of Canada to the Orient that defeated Lord Franklin's expedition and many more attempts.
Getting in Position for North West Passage Attempt
Despite Global warming, last summer only 2 yachts made it through. Two years ago 17 vessels managed to find an ice clear route. There are no guarantees for Tecla and her selected expedition crew are under no illusions about the challenge. Her route below has a contingency plan. If the ship cannot get through the NW Passage this summer, she will be sailing via the East Coast of America and the Panama Canal to pick up the rest of her Pacific and Antarctic voyages. We obviously will be very excited if she does triumph. Especially as it means she will visit Alaska and the Aluetian Isles on the way to the Pacific.
Expedition Preparation
The more attentive Classic Sailing followers would point out that this epic expedition, began back in April, when this 38 metre historic sailing ship set sail from Den Helder to Ullapool.
A small core of skippers, family and volunteers worked their socks off all winter to prepare their ship for the rigours of the North West Passage, the huge Pacific and a first Antarctic season. They would probably argue the adventure truly began back in Autumn 2018. There were guest crew applications and interviews, ice navigator certificates to gain, two new masts to build, a heap of interior improvements and specialist kit to fit to Tecla….They even found time to build a replica of Magnet, one of polar explorer John Rae's open boats that he took to explore the Northern Territories.
Circumnavigation - Where can I join Tecla?
This is the whole route and current availability (7-7-19) on remaining legs for paying guest crew.
After this 2019-2020 Round the World voyage from Arctic to Antarctic and back to Europe, there will be a 'normal' sailing season in Tecla's favourite places (Hebrides, Orkney, Shetland, Faroes, Iceland and probably Greenland) in 2020 and a wintr refit in Holland.
Her operators intend to repeat a NW Passage and Pacific - Antarctic Circumnavigation again in 2021-22, so start saving.
If you can 'seize the day and jump on this time around, there are still a few places, and customer cancellations can occur, even on the full ones.
LEG 1: Netherlands to Scotland
Voyage leg already completed. Next opportunity 2021
LEG 2: Hebrides to Iceland
Already completed, but Tecla will be repeating this in 2020 for a summer season - sailing only in the Northern Hemisphere. After a refit back in Holland in winter 2020-21 they are planning another circumnavigation and NW Passage journey 2021-22.
Next dates you can already book this voyage leg are 9th June- 11th July 2020 (Ullapool to Reykjavik) via Outer Hebrides, Orkney, Fair Isle, Shetland, Faroes.
This is one of our Director Debbie's favourite voyages -highlights are:
- Visit the Outer Hebrides or possible Shiant Isles
- Orkney - awesome sailing ground - described as the 'Scillies of the North'
- Fair Isle - famous in the shipping news but few sailors have ever been there
- Shetland - Best beaches in Europe (with a Shetland Jumper on)
- The Faroes - A landfall to make Vikings nervous
- Iceland - Land of Ice and Fire
- Heated 2 person cabins with en-suite shower and WC
Scotland to Iceland Voyage 2020
LEG 3: Iceland to West Greenland
Fully booked. Tecla is sailing on this expedition with guest crew right now.
LEG 4: West Greenland Coast – Into the Arctic Circle again.
Due to a cancellation – 1 female place
20-30th July 2019 (Nuuk to Illuissat, West Greenland)
A vast sailing playground with relatively ice free fjords in the South that stretch deep into the Greenland interior with only the mountains holding back the huge ice cap. Listen to the silence being broken by glaciers carving, arctic terns screeching or the occasional iceberg rolling over. This West coast was more habitable for the Viking Eric the Red who settled here and Disko Bay is an area steeped in polar exploration history and a staging post for vessels trying to find the North west Passage. Your voyage ends in Illulissat where there are more huskies than people.
Cheapest way of getting there - easy from USA or from Europe try flights from Keflavik, Iceland.
LEG 5: West Greenland to Alaska via NW Passage
Fully booked. Selection process for 12 lucky crew will be required for the next NW Passage expedition in 2021.
LEG 6: Feeder voyage to Galapagos (2 alternative routes)
Classic Sailing have not actively pushed this as a charter voyage as the route could be Halifax, Canada to Galapagos via Panama if Tecla cannot get through the NW Passage or Nome Alaska to Galapagos if she does. Either route is long and only suitable for experienced sailors who can commit at short notice, as we will not know until mid Aug which route it will be. If you are interested in being on stand by for either route or both, then please fill in an application form on line here. The ships crew reserve the right to turn down applications on these feeder voyages on medical, dietary or fitness ground as these are very long, remote voyages and more akin to a delivery trip.
Alaska to Galapagos - voyage description & application form
LEG 6: Galapagos – Easter Island
Fully booked. Plan for next Tecla circumnavigation 2021-22.
LEG 7: Easter Island- Cape Horn – Falklands
4 places left.
Crew already booked are 50/50 mix of men and women.
5th December 2019 - 2nd Jan 2020 (Easter Island - Port Stanley) 29 days
A proper Rounding of Cape Horn on a tall ship. Join Tecla in Easter Island and get some warm blue water sailing under your belt before you head for the Roaring forties, Furious fifties and Cape Horn. The albatrosses are with you and the winds too...all the way to the beautiful white beaches of the Falkland Isles. To earn your place in the Cape Horners Club the rounding of the infamous Cape must be from at least 50 degrees latitude in the Pacific to 50 degrees in the Atlantic, involving a minimum of 3000 miles, sailing as ships crew without resorting to using an engine.
LEG 8: Falklands – Antarctic Peninsula – Chilean Fjords
This was fully booked but now 2 places left
4-30th Jan 2020 27 day from 8190 euros
Ocean going tall ship Tecla is the first ship in the Classic Sailing fleet to sail in both the Arctic and Antarctic. This 27 day Antarctic Expedition is the culmination of several years planning. Her Captain loves to follow in the footsteps of the great explorers and on this relatively small gaff rigged tall ship teamwork is everything. If you are looking for pure adventure, active participation and a total of 16 guest and professional crew then Tecla is offering something very special. Explore the wildlife of the Falklands before sailing the Drakes Passage towards Elephant Island. Explore South Shetland Isles, Deception Island and sail the sounds between the mountains, ice caps and glaciers of the Antarctic Peninsula. They may be a chance to land on Cape Horn on the way back to Chile.
LEG 9: Antarctic Peninsula- South Georgia-Cape Town
Fully booked in 2020. Plan for next Tecla circumnavigation 2021-22. The next 53 day voyage between Cape Horn and Cape Town likely to be in early 2022.
LEG 10: Cape Town – Azores
There are places left on this classic ocean passage and equator crossing.
3rd April - 26th May 2020 (Cape Town to Horta) 54 days
A classic ocean passage from the giant rollers off Cape Town, though brisk trade winds, equatorial calms, tropical squalls and starry nights, this is a voyage for a true sailor. 54 days and 5000 miles of empty ocean, save for the albatrosses, whales and remote island communities like St Helena and Ascension Island. If you have never crossed the equator on a sailing ship you will have to ask Neptune's permission, but once you make the step from greenhorn to shellback there is no disputing you are an ocean sailor and your have earned a turtle tattoo. The Azores has been a staging post for centuries and Horta is the traditional place to stop and draw your ship on the harbour wall.
LEG 11: Azores to Ullapool, NW Scotland.
Places available on this true sailor voyage or a romantic wanting to escape to sea.
28th May - 17th June 2020 - 21 days from 2420 euros
This will be the first time we have offered a tall ship voyage travelling from the Azores, all the way across an ocean and into the Western Approaches and up the whole length of Britain. A true sailors combination of a big ocean passage towards Lands End in the UK, then options to go up the West Coast of Ireland or the Irish Sea. We love Tecla's sense of adventure. This will be the last leg of her world voyage via the North West Passage, Galapagos, Cape Horn and Cape Town, so learn from some great ocean sailors.

Newly identified factors shown to be important in leading virus entry, survival and release are cellular ion channels, proteins that act as a pore in the membranes of all cells within the body, permitting the selective passage of ions (such as potassium ions, sodium ions, and calcium ions). Through controlling ion passage, these channels serve many critically important cellular functions including chemical signaling, the regulation of pH, and the regulation of cell volume. Malfunction of ion channels can cause diseases in many tissues.
Our research has shown that by pharmacologically modulating cellular ion channels, we can impede the lifecycles of an array of important human viruses. My laboratory focuses on understanding the interaction between viruses and cellular ion channels in more detail. By doing so, we wish to reveal the potential of ion channel modulating compounds (many of which are clinically available) as new anti-viral drugs.
- Identifiying new virus-ion channel interactions.
- Investigating the potential of restoring the function of virus-ion channel targets as a new anti-viral strategy.
- The role of endosomal ions during virus entry.
We apply these studies to negative sense RNA viruses including bunyaviruses, human respiratory syncytial virus and rabies virus.

Memorial Tree Urn Unboxing
Our memorial tree urns are an increasingly popular choice for family and friends to honor their loved one in an unique way. These aren't simply trees that are planted in memory of a loved one; the cremated remains (or "ashes") are planted in the ground inside the urn, which includes the tree seeds and biodegrades over time. This causes the remains to be mixed with the clay-based, nutrient-enriched urn to actually provide nutrients for the tree from the ashes, helping the memorial tree grow healthy and strong.

Scattering ashes is becoming a popular choice as a final disposition method for cremated remains.

Take the Leap - Volunteer
You've decided you want to make a difference — to do your part for democracy, even while living abroad. But where to begin? We talked with Democrats Abroad team leaders Hilary Bown from Germany, and Heidi Burch from Canada to ask what you might find yourself doing if you decide to volunteer with Democrats Abroad.
Both leaders emphasized that it really depends on the potential volunteer. "There are so many ways for volunteers in our network to be active politically," says Bown, who leads the Global Action team for DA and was just re-elected Vice Chair for Democrats Abroad Germany. "We're trying to tease out all of those options and help people work on what's easiest and most productive for them."
Burch, a co-chair for the Get Out the Vote team who was also recently elected Vice Chair for her country committee, detailed some of the options. They ranged from talking with people at local events, to phone banking, to putting your marketing skills to work writing emails to members. She noted that phone banking requires the least amount of commitment; you can call voters from anywhere in the world with an internet connection, and choose the amount of time you spend doing it.Read more

DA Germany Elects Its Youngest Ever Chapter Chair
Although he knew that he would not be eligible to vote in the 2016 presidential election, DA Germany's John Grosser, then only 17, nevertheless wanted to make a difference. The son of a German father and American mother, John was, like many millennials, attracted to the politics of Senator Bernie Sanders, and so volunteered to do some phonebanking for the candidate from his home in Meschede, a small town in Germany's rural Sauerland region. Using the digital calling tool provided by the campaign, John made thousands of calls via his computer to voters in Iowa and New Hampshire during the early primary season to help get out the vote for the Senator.
His activities were subsequently featured in an article in the German press about how expatriate Americans were engaging from afar in the politics back home, and this in turn brought him to the attention of DA Germany Chair Quaide Williams, who called John to discuss if he might be interested in helping with Democrats Abroad, and to invite him to the upcoming Global Convention in Berlin.

DA Women Answer the Challenge
As the world celebrates International Women's Day by reaffirming the basic human rights of women everywhere, many look to this year's observances to be especially poignant in an increasingly hostile political environment.
The Trump administration has put the concerns of American women in the line of fire, with women's reproductive choices, access to healthcare, paid family leave, equal pay, and protection from sexual harassment all vulnerable and especially threatening for minorities and women of color.
In the broadest sense, the new administration poses a threat to basic human rights. On a more nuanced scale, President Trump's public comments have condoned a more permissible culture of misogyny.
As a result, many American women are answering back not just with just increased awareness of these threats, but also an outpouring of activism. The Women's March defied expectations for turnout not just in the United States, but in countries around the world, from London to Toronto, to Mexico City to Paris that held sister marches contributing to an overall attendance in the millions. The activity kicked off a resistance movement that is galvanizing women to take up more engaged acts of political involvement.Read more
Breaking: Donald Trump Resubmits Discriminatory Travel Ban
This new travel ban is just a rehash of the first. As Tom Perez recently wrote,
"This ban, like the last one, is unconstitutional -- just ask the multiple federal courts that ruled against it the first time.
You would think that Trump might have taken a few minutes after that to read the Constitution. (I'd suggest starting with Article III for a refresher on the role of the judicial branch, and then move on to what the First Amendment says about freedom of religion.)"
As Democrats Abroad, we must fight against the Trump administration's un-American actions and stand together with immigrants and our neighbors around the world.
Maybe Trump could learn a thing or two from this immigrant:
Letter from Washington - February 26
Tom Fina, Executive Director Emeritus
One month since taking office, the sociopath in the White House is probably more famous than any other living man in history. He has reached that level because of his symbiotic relation with the media, foreign and domestic. He lives for attention and approval. Cut that off, and he is dead. The media lives for readers and viewers. Today, Trump is the narcotic that gives the media a high when its advertising income is a downer. Neither can give up the other. Yet.
Perez elected new DNC Chair, Ellison selected as Deputy Chair
Democrats Abroad Chair Katie Solon reports from Atlanta, where Tom Perez has just been elected the new chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and Keith Ellison appointed Deputy Chair.
"Today is Unity Saturday," says Solon. "Because of our shared values, principles and purpose, we are going to leave Atlanta unified and ready to take this fight to the places we need to fight. As Tom Perez said, contrary to what the press has been reporting, during this meeting we have not focused on our divisions, but instead have focused on our issues."
Perez is the first Hispanic elected to the Democratic Party Chair position. He served as the Labor Secretary under President Obama as well as Deputy Attorney General. His first action as Chair was to call for Ellison to be named as Deputy Chair. Ellison has served as a Congressman from Minnesota for the last 10 years.
Democrats Abroad is confident that the deep experience that Perez and Ellison bring to the DNC will take us in the needed new direction. Perez's background in civil and voting rights, and worker advocacy, community organizations and organization management will be critical to the party, while Keith Ellison has demonstrated time and again that he knows how to win elections and speak effectively to Democratic voters.Read more

DOL Rule Raises Spector of Negligence Claims
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
The DOL's fiduciary rule opens up advisors to the possibility of more negligence claims, Financial Advisor IQ reports.
The DOL rule, parts of which went into effect on June 9, contains a provision that lets investors sue for breaches of the rule in class actions. This portion of the rule makes it more likely that civil litigation costs for advisors will rise, Financial Advisor IQ says.
According to Financial Advisor IQ, an advisor could be guilty of negligence without even knowing it; the test is different for negligence than for fraud, which measure an advisor's state of mind. There's no magic formula to avoid litigation, but to better protect themselves, advisors should seek to follow the rule's mandate by acting in their clients' best interests at all times, said Brian Hamburger, founder and chief executive of the compliance consultancy MarketCounsel, in an interview with Financial Advisor IQ. Accordingly, they should avoid conflicts of interest and disclose any that may exist.
Advisors also need to ensure that clients are engaged in the investment planning process and have a good grasp of the financial products being recommended, and why these products are an appropriate choice. Taking these protective steps will better position advisors against the heightened threat of negligence claims, Financial Advisor IQ reports.

At the beginning of January I signed up with Slotc Capital Casino and I used some of their bonusses to play with. After my deposit I started losing a lot.... When I had 500 euro's left I wanted to withdraw. After the verifying of my account with a copy of my ID and an utlility bill everything looked fine and I was told that I could receive my money in a week. Off course this did not happen, because otherwise I would not file a complaint on this website. My payment was in fact declined, because they stated that I had to be called and after that my account would really be verified. The next day they called me and my account was officially verified and they told me on the phone that I would receive my money within the next three days. Well, this is 2.5 weeks ago and I still haven't received anything.
They come up with all sorts of excuses... I am getting so tired of this.... I think it is absolutely ridiculous that you can deposit that easy, but when it comes to withdrawing, it will take you forever.
Please askgamblers.com can you help me out???
Best regards, Alex

I don't – more than anything, I amuse myself – but I really should. If things keep deteriorating at this rate, I am going to be one of those parents who runs an umpire over with her SUV for making a bad call at her son's game.
In my soccer game last night, I was at the center of a significant amount of shenanigans and a great deal of hullabaloo.
I got my first yellow card, in fact. For smarting off to the referee.
I was playing defense again. The ball was right at the goal. It bounced off of my shins and my sister, the goalie, pounced on it.
Goalies, you see, are not allowed to pick up a ball passed back by one of their teammates. If the ball is unintentionally played to the goalie by a teammate, however, it's allowed. And that, my friends, is what happened.
But the referee, who was totally out of position (he was in the middle of the field and, as my back was to him, definitely couldn't see what exactly happened), whistled this as a foul. He said that I passed the ball to Meg.
I didn't. I swear it.
So Meg is all up in arms about it. She starts screaming. "That is a bullshit call! You know that it a bullshit call! There is a difference between an intentional pass and it bouncing off of someone's shin guard and you know that, referee!" He's now close enough to the goal that Meg is right in his face, pointing her finger at him. "That is fucking bullshit and we both know it."
The ref gave them the kick anyway. At the six yard box. Incredibly close to the goal.
Somehow, they didn't score.
The ball was knocked out of bounds, and, while a player was retrieving it, the referee is talking to one of the opposing players. Loud and animate, he is making it obvious that he is discussing how ridiculous it is that Meg even thought that shouldn't be a foul.
Meg, of course, sees this. And she is immediately all over him. "That is unprofessional, sir! You should not be discussing that play with anyone but me!"
And then I start going. "You're a joke, ref! Why don't you just put on your orange jersey, sweetheart? Which one of their players are you making out with after the game? You're ridiculous." And so on. And on. And on.
I very, very rarely talk back to referees. But he had been consistently bad all game, and now he was fucking with my little sister. Back off, buddy.
A few minutes later, I get drilled by some random girl. It was totally a foul and, amazingly, he called it in my favor. I take the kick. I pass the ball to my sister.
Meg is getting ready to kick the ball when I yell, way too loudly, "hey! Ref! That was an accident! She can pick it up."
And the bastard gives me a yellow card.
My very first yellow card. I am so proud of myself.
So is my dad, King Hater of all Referees.
I think it was the best Father's Day present he's ever gotten.

Top story
A story about the discovery of the world's deepest volcano vent is the most read story of the day today — by far. It came from The Associated Press.
Good for science, and the comments show that people interested in this stuff are reading it. A couple early comments wondered why this was the most popular story, and the rest of the comments seem to answer that.
And they have not resorted to simply blaming global warming on this and turning into a simple-minded political debate.
I think some of the negative comments were deleted out after people clicked the report abuse button. It's nice to see what people are reading and it's nice to know some people out there have a thirst for knowledge.
But as the father of a 5 year old, I also know that volcanoes are simply cool.

Over at SlashGear our review of the HTC Tattoo has just gone live, and if you've been wondering whether putting HTC Sense into a budget smartphone makes, well, any sense whatsoever, you'll want to be heading over there to find out. The Tattoo gets much of the connectivity of its more expensive siblings, but pairs it with a smaller, 2.8-inch resistive touchscreen running at QVGA resolution and Android 1.6.
Of course, that means no multitouch support, and as the review explains there's also a shortage of applications in the Android Market. It also means that HTC can reduce the Tattoo's price, however, and if you've wanted an Android smartphone but been reluctant to sign up to an expensive monthly contract then this could be your winner.
You can find the full SlashGear review of the HTC Tattoo here. Don't forget to let us know what you think in the AC forums!

Things are busy busy busy in Rafiki Mwema! We have 5 new girls in the last week which is a lot, not just the new girls to adjust to, but also the girls that have been with us for a while. It can be very unsettling to all the girls when a new child arrives – and to have 5 girls in such a short time is pretty full on for all. You will expect our newest children to experience anxiety and fear when they come to us – how can they know that we are a place of love and safety – they have had their trust destroyed – thats why they are with us.
But spare a thought for the girls who have been with us a while – they have settled into their new lives but they also harbour fears and anxieties. What will happen to me if this new girl gets on better with the other children – supposing my special member of staff likes them more than me – will I be forgotten? Just some of the thoughts that may go through their lovely young minds.
Thankfully, we have excellent staff at Rafiki Mwema who respond to the needs of all the girls. They all have 'key' children and they will be looking out to make sure they are coping with all the changes.
Our new girls, Margaret, Pauline, Anastasia, Sarah and Nancy will be feeling a little strange but the energy at Rafiki Mwema is one of love, acceptance and calm and that is what is being breathed in by these little angels.
We are so grateful to everyone that has been supporting Play Kenya – without your love and kindness our little girls would not be in a safe loving enviroment – some would still be with their perpetrators and they would be living in fear.
Paul and Bryony from The Wedge Trust continue to be a huge part of Play Kenya and we all hope they will come over in November and experience Rafiki Mwema for themselves. Stephanie Koshel is a new but very valued friend of ours and thanks to her support we are able to look for a vehicle to replace our poor little broken van – John is looking at the prices of importing from the UK – cars in Kenya have had a really tough life because of the roads (and the standard of driving!) and they are HUGELY expensive there – we will keep you posted!
We are also so grateful to Marian Foot and Penny and Graham Philips for thinking of Play Kenya at such sad times in their lives – we are humbled
I am off to Mexico at the end of November to speak at a conference about the work we do in Kenya with our vulnerable and sometimes very violent children – I will be alongside some of the world greats in attachment and neuroscience – to say I am nervous is an understatement!!! Huge thanks to Shanley Homes and others for financially enabling this trip to happen – we have such GREAT friends!
I am meeting with members of the New Scotland Yard pedophile team in a couple of weeks – hopefully they will help us to set up a service in Kenya that gives real protection to children and trainstaff to interview children in a safe and respectful way. We are also looking at introducing a video witness scheme for the children's courts – I love a good plan – and this seems a very good plan indeed!
I will be posting again soon – but in the meantime we are waiting for the news of our christmas cards – please hold fire and buy through Play Kenya and continue to make a difference – details will be on the web site very soon!
Asante sana x

If you are trying to have a baby, drinking, especially heavy drinking, can reduce your chances of getting pregnant and increase your chance of miscarriage. For men, drinking excessively can reduce libido and sperm count. During this time, it is best to stay within the recommended number of units and to speak to your GP or healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
Drinking while pregnant will affect your baby because your systems are connected. Any alcohol in your blood will flow across the placenta and your baby will end up with the same Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) as you.
Unborn babies and their developing brain and central nervous system are particularly sensitive to alcohol. It can increase the risk of them being born with physical, mental or behavioural problems. Heavy drinking during pregnancy can also cause the baby to suffer from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS). Find out how our NOFASD-UK charity is working with midwives to help teach pregnant women about the dangers of drinking.
Research has yet to establish a 'safe' amount to drink during pregnancy, so the safest thing to do is to avoid alcohol completely. If in doubt, always speak to your GP or healthcare professional for advice.
If you are breastfeeding, you should pay close attention to what you drink and when. If you drink just before or during a feed, you can pass the alcohol along to your baby which may cause them harm and affect their development. It takes your body approximately one hour to process one unit of alcohol, so it is best to wait at least one hour after drinking each drink, or to avoid alcohol altogether. As always, if you have questions, please consult your GP healthcare provider.

In this column dedicated to porcelain stoneware we have talked in recent months about how valuable this material is and how it can have surprising aesthetic results. Today we enter a little more into the technician, facing the questions that are asked most often in our work on this material: if you are looking for the answer to some doubt, we are sure that in these 10 points you will surely find the solution!
1. Porcelain stoneware is the ideal solution for underfloor heating.
Porcelain stoneware, having a high thermal transmittance, is one of the best materials you can choose in case of underfloor heating: compared to other materials, in fact, it retains very little heat, allowing you to optimize the consumption of heating. So porcelain stoneware is not only suitable for underfloor heating, it is also advisable!
2. Porcelain stoneware can be used both on the floor and as a wall covering.
Tiles made of this material are suitable not only for the floor, as they are able to withstand heavy foot traffic, but also for wall cladding, as they are stronger than normal single-fired or double-fired tiles. If the tile you like is porcelain stoneware, you are free to decide where to use it without any constraints!
3. Porcelain stoneware can be used both indoors and outdoors: it does not suffer the elements!
Porcelain stoneware does not absorb – at least – 99.5%, the minimum limit imposed by law. In reality, almost all quality Italian ceramics reach a non-absorbency of 99.8-99.9%. Since it does not absorb, the tile cannot suffer from frost or any other type of weather. The only difference between indoor and outdoor tiles is the slip resistance: if you are tiling a balcony or sidewalk, you obviously don't want to slip the day it should rain!
4. Proper cleaning of porcelain stoneware is done with a few chemical agents.
Unfortunately, this is our bad habit that we have been carrying on for a few decades: the floor, as well as all the bathroom furnishings, we clean them with supermarket products highly advertised but … tremendously inadequate.
The porcelain stoneware floor, as we said, absorbs practically nothing: using detergents for cleaning with a high amount of chemical residues is therefore not only useless, but even risks creating a surface patina that will seem particularly unsightly. If this happens, it is not a serious matter, just do an extraordinary cleaning with special products to restore the original floor. But to avoid this inconvenience you can choose from the first day products that contain less than 1% surfactants: you can find this information on the packaging of detergents (and the web may be more helpful than the supermarket).
5. Porcelain stoneware is drilled with a diamond tip.
Stoneware is so hard… that you need a drill bit to drill it. This drill bit is called a "diamond drill" and it is often specified that it is suitable for drilling porcelain stoneware. Whatever good drill your plumber has, if it's not the diamond drill, it's not suitable for drilling stoneware. The risk? To ruin the tip but above all to damage the tile. With the right tip, however, there is no kind of risk. The cost of a tip is about 20 €, a very sustainable expense for a professional in the field.
6. Porcelain stoneware does not change colour over time.
The tiles are fired at temperatures above 1200°C and the dyes used all derive from natural elements: this is also a guarantee for the stability of the colour, which will never change over time, even under UV rays.
7. Not all glues are suitable for laying porcelain stoneware.
When we happen to go on a tour of a large-scale retail store we usually see people buying porcelain stoneware tiles and then the cheapest bag of glue on the shelves: they could do nothing worse! All the glue on the back of the bag have a certificate that guarantees the performance of that adhesive: if they are inadequate, the tile will not be properly glued to the bottom of the laying, with risks that can be serious. The minimum certification for cementitious glues that can be used for porcelain stoneware is C2: if you find C1 written on the bag, therefore, you can discard that glue. If the tile has a medium-large format, instead, go without delay on a glue with C2TES1 certification: you will spend a few more euros, but it is undoubtedly money well spent!
8. Let the tiles be laid with a levelling system.
Tiles with a side length of at least 60 cm, especially if they are ground, must be laid with a levelling system. These systems consist of plastic products – wedge-shaped or knob-shaped – that help the installer to glue the tiles very precisely, avoiding leaving differences in level ("teeth") between one tile and another. If the installer says that he has been doing this job for 40 years and is good at laying even without these tools… personally we would immediately look for another tiler, because the one you are talking to is certainly not a professional. All the problems that we have seen over the years at the home of customers have always been born with this premise: you decide if you want to take the risk at home.
9. Porcelain stoneware is NEVER laid without escaping.
The minimum joint for porcelain stoneware tiles is 2 mm. Never go below this thickness, you might find yourself with cracked tiles in the future due to settlement movements. Nowadays, there are a wide variety of coloured grouts for filling joints, so that they match the tile: in this way, the joint tends to disappear and the floor will not only be beautiful but also long-lasting.
10. You have to wait at least a month before tiling and that month is really very important.
This is another one of those weaknesses that we often hear (before the problems). If the screed is made in the classic way, i.e. with sand and cement (so excluding, for example, pre-mixed screeds or gypsum-based), it is very important that it is dry before tiling. In optimal conditions (good season, not so humid period, etc.) the screed made of sand and cement dries in 7-10 days for every centimetre of thickness. Considering that the minimum thickness of a traditional screed is 5 cm, it means that you can tile after at least 35-50 days from the day in which the installers have made the screed. Don't you want to wait so long? Use a pre-mixed screed, its technical data sheet specifies the minimum time to wait (usually 2-3 days). Don't you want to spend more on a pre-mixed screed? Then wait. Tiling sooner can pose serious risks for the new floor: many tiles may crack after a few days as the screed would not be stable yet.
How many of these 10 points did you already know? For the curious, to investigate any of these topics, there is the UNI 11493 standard. For the others we hope instead that this small vademecum has been a great help.

Situated on the edge of Vermont along the Connecticut River, Brattleboro is known for its historic downtown district, thriving antique shops, and flourishing arts scene. Planning to visit Brattleboro with your doggo? Don't worry, there are enough activities to keep Fido entertained here. Caring for the town's four-legged residents and tourists are four veterinary hospitals.
a short, easy hike just outside of downtown, take Fido for a leashed
walk on the Retreat Trails. Many of these trails are over a century
old and well-graded, allowing for a pleasant walk or bike ride in
nature. Aside from the scenery, keep your eyes peeled for the Retreat
Tower, a well-known landmark that was built by asylum patients in
1887. The Retreat Trails also lead to and from Harris Hill Ski Jump.
you're in the northern part of town, you and your pup can get some
exercise and fresh air at the Hillwinds Trails. Popular among hikers,
mountain bikers, and trail runners, these trails total 3.7 miles and
are ranked easy to moderate. The 2.7-mile main trail network meanders
through a mature white pine forest, while a 1.8-mile loop is
available as well.
see what Brattleboro, the
small town
nestled along the shore of New England's largest river, is all about!
Downtown is a must-visit for anyone who's stopping by Brattleboro. Furtunately, there's a lot to see and do with your best friend in this vibrant, historic community. Take the Treasured Tree Walk, which shines a spotlight on the various trees located in the neighborhood. Sugar maples, white pines, and sycamores are just a few examples of the many tree species that you and Fido will encounter. After the tree tour, take a break on a bench at The Common, or grab a bite to eat at one of the pup-friendly restaurants on Main Street. Options include The Works Bakery Cafe, Brattleburger, and Superfresh! Organic Cafe.
The Creamery Bridge is a classic covered bridge that has changed little over the years. Now only open to foot traffic, it offers a nice picnic area and beautiful views of a crystal clear creek below. After checking out this popular tourist spot, you and your pooch can head to the nearby Living Memorial Park, which contains easy to moderate trails for hiking and mountain biking. Dogs are welcome at the park, but must stay leashed. If all that walking has left you hungry, stop by the dog-friendly Vermont Country Deli, where you can enjoy a variety of prepared foods, sandwiches, pastries, and specialty food items at one of their outdoor picnic tables.
Looking for a spot in Brattleboro where you can take an easy, scenic hike with your furry buddy? You'll find it next to the West River. The West River Trail is an old railroad bed that once served the West River Railroad, but these days, this unpaved trail attracts hikers and mountain bikers thanks to its fairly level surface and beautiful views. It stretches 16 miles, connecting Brattleboro to South Londonderry. Before setting off on the West River Trail, it's a good idea to eat something first, which you can do at The Porch Cafe or Top of the Hill Grill. Both places offer pooch-friendly tables outside.
If Fido is up for a bit of a challenge, bring him to Round Mountain in West Brattleboro for a hike. Located on the property of Lilac Ridge Farm, the 1.2-mile trail travels through pastoral farm fields and woods before inclining steeply towards the top. Once you and your pooch reach the summit vistas, you'll be greeted by great views to the east and south. Be sure to bring water and some snacks for yourself and your hiking buddy, so you can replenish your energy while enjoying the views before heading back down. Don't forget to pick up some fresh, organic produce at the farm.
For a quick nature getaway with your pup, there's Fort Dummer State Park. Named after the first permanent white settlement in the state, the park is big enough to keep things interesting, but small enough to make it a day trip. The Fort Dummer State Park comprises 217 acres of forest land, as well as the 0.8-mile Sunrise Trail and 0.5-mile Sunset Trail. The trails are easy to hike and will lead you and Fido among various tree species, the most common of which are white, red, and chestnut oaks. If you'd like to stay longer, the park has a campground with several tent, trailer, and lean-to sites.

text: Pressure builds on Jeremy Corbyn as Shadow Cabinet members back full anti-Semitism definition Matt Honeycombe-Foster matt_hfoster 4 min read26 July 2018 Two more members of Jeremy Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet have called on Labour to adopt an internationally-recognised definition of anti-Semitism following an outcry from Jewish groups. Shadow Health Secretary Jonathan Ashworth said the party should "reconsider" its decision not to fully sign up to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) guidelines, along with the examples of anti-Jewish abuse it provides. In a further blow for the Labour leader, Shadow International Trade Secretary Barry Gardiner told the Jewish News "it would have been better" to incorporate the entire IHRA code. The party has come under fire from Jewish groups and many of its own MPs since its ruling national executive committee moved to adopt the new code of conduct, which differs from the full IHRA working definition. Labour says its new code "expands on and contextualises" the IHRA text, and insists it has only taken issue only with "one half of one of the IHRA's 11 examples" concerning criticism of Israel. But an unprecedented joint editorial by three rival Jewish newspapers - the Jewish Chronicle, Jewish News and the Jewish Telegraph - today accused Labour of showing "contempt for Jews and Israel", and warned that the new guidelines appeared designed to spare "hundreds, if not thousands, of Labour and Momentum members" from expulsion. Reacting to the joint op-ed, Mr Ashworth said it was "a deeply saddening day that those newspapers feel they have had to come out and speak in such strong terms". And he urged party chiefs to "reflect carefully" on criticism from the Jewish community. The frontbencher told ITV's Good Morning Britain: "This international definition, which our democratically-elected members don't feel is strong enough or appropriate, I think they need to reconsider that. "It seems obvious to me that we do need to rebuild trust with the Jewish community, and the place to start is by accepting a definition which is broadly accepted internationally." He added: "This is really serious for us as a party, because if we've got the Jewish community feeling upset and feeling that we no longer stand for them, even though on many other issues we probably share the same values, then clearly as a party that aspires to govern the country on behalf of everybody, then we need to respond to that." 'CAVIL AND WEAKEN' Meanwhile, Shadow International Trade Secretary Barry Gardiner told Jewish News that he believes the party should have adopted the full IHRA guidelines plus its examples, before making any additions needed to make the code more workable. "My view is that it would have been better for the party to adopt the IHRA definition in full with all the examples and then to add all the clauses necessary to make it enforceable rather than to appear to cavil and weaken the definition," he said. "Having to prove intent may indeed appear to weaken the definition, but if it does make it easier to evict vile racist anti-Semites from our party then in my view that can only be a good thing." Labour should, he said, go on to "add those clauses which will enable us to successfully resist any legal challenge by anti-Semitic racists who fight to remain in the party". He added: "My party is not racist. It is not anti-Semitic and it will always and should always be the party that champions those who are abused and downtrodden." Party sources indicated that Mr Gardiner was unhappy with the Jewish News article, but did not detail his concerns. Fellow Labour frontbenchers Keir Starmer and Tom Watson have already joined calls for a rethink, while party chiefs will come under fresh pressure to change tack in September when MPs are expected to use a meeting of the Parliamentary Labour Party (PLP) to demand the full adoption of the IHRA definition in its rulebook. Labour has yet to respond to a request for comment. The party has previously said: "We understand the strong concerns raised in the Jewish community and are seeking to engage with communal organisations to build trust and confidence in our party. We know there is a huge amount of work to do." Labour has also said its code of code of conduct "expands on and contextualises" the IHRA definition "to produce robust, legally sound guidelines that a political party can apply to disciplinary cases". The party has also argued that parts of the IHRA definition could be "used to deny Palestinians, including Palestinian citizens of Israel and their supporters, their rights and freedoms to describe the discrimination and injustices they face in the language they deem appropriate".

The first-term Florida governor who is leaving that office to seek a vacant U.S. Senate seat said Tuesday he opposes the nomination of Sonya Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court because of what he described as a lack of respect for the fundamental right to keep and bear arms.
Crist hopes to follow retiring Republican U.S. Sen. Mel Martinez, who just last week praised the Sotomayor nomination and said he would vote for the appeals court judge from New York.
Crist, 52, has never sought re-election to the same statewide office moving from the Legislature to governor with stops as education commissioner and attorney general.

High Density Foam Rollers
Post Workout Massage Tool
I didn't know I had knots in my calves, but I did. I spend a lot of time at the computer, and I play some video games, which means that I tense my calves involuntarily and and they get knotted.
When I started working out about a year ago, I hired a trainer. The end of each training session included a massage treatment with a foam roller. That's when I learned that I had knots, because the roller made my calves feel better.
Its nice if you have someone else to "roll you out," but you can also put the roller between your calves and the floor and roll yourself back and forth, using your body weight to apply pressure. You can also use it on your back and arms.
It's also improved the "restless leg syndrome" for two people I know.
I have the 36 inch version, which is bulky. I think the 18 inch version would do just as well.11/13/19
