The Foreigner Trailer
Quan seems like just a meek old businessman from Hong Kong, but when his teenage daughter is killed during a terrorist bombing on a regular London street just moments after leaving his car, he is overwhelmed with a desire for revenge. With nothing else in his life to lose, he tracks down a government official named Liam Hennessy who he believes knows the identity of the terrorists involved. Quan bombards Hennessy with phone calls and visits to his office, even offering him money to spill inside information, but pretty soon he begins to run out of patience. Hennessy insists he knows nothing about the motives behind the attack not the criminals behind it, but Quan isn't the only one who is not convinced by his denial. He will stop at nothing to take justice for his daughter, and sure enough he transforms from a humble expat to a dangerous killing machine.

The Hooligan Factory Trailer
Danny has always wanted to be a football hooligan ever since he was a child. He managed to get expelled from school at a very young age and longs to be just like his imprisoned dad. He wants something more out of life, and how best to inspire him than to get involved in some pure, unadulterated violence with the rival football firm. He's not the only one in the mood for some serious chaos either; Dex is just finishing his sentence at Wormwood Scrubs prison and is eager to get his own back on his own nemesis Yeti. But when Dex and Danny meet, it becomes a quest to get the old firm together and re-live the fun, blood-soaked times they once enjoyed. However, things are looking a little dangerous with the coppers now on the prowl.

Digital healthcare to witness exponential growth in next 5 years: Practo CEO
Digital adoption in healthcare is still very small and 90 per cent of healthcare is still offline today. So for the companies like Practo, there is a long way to go, he added.
Digital healthcare in the country is going to witness exponential growth in the next five years and there is a long way to go for the sector and companies in this space, Practo co-founder and CEO Shashank ND said on Sunday. The healthcare as an overall sector in India is close to USD 200 billion in size and just a single digit of it is online today, he added.
"I expect that this single digit will grow into 20-30 per cent in the next 5-10 years and that is going to be a real big jump for the sector," Shashank told .
About the company, Shashank said Practo is an integrated healthcare company helping consumers in their healthcare journey through digital means.
"Last year, we served close to 18 crore Indians and in the last couple of years, we have served close to 30 crore Indians. Our goal has been to ensure how to make healthcare simplified for the user," he added.
Healthcare is a very complex industry from a consumer's standpoint. The consumer is already in a lot of pain and in a high-level of anxiety, "we are trying to make sure that healthcare for the user becomes a simple affair, no matter where he is in the country,... he can access healthcare services on our app," Shashank said.
Thanks to learnings from Covid, there is more integration of offline and online healthcare. Lots of healthcare establishments are going online. The government has also been active and with initiatives such as National Digital Health Mission (NDHM), it is encouraging adoption of digital tools in healthcare, he added.
"For companies like Practo and many others in the sector, there is no looking back hereon. Now it is about providing more value, about making patients' lives better," Shashank said.
Practo has around 1 lakh doctors on its platform of which 25,000 provide online consultations, he added.
When asked about the outlook for the sector and Practo, Shashank said: "We are just barely scratching the surface. Digital healthcare is still very small. So for companies like us, there is a long way to go. Next five years will see exponential growth in digital healthcare."
On the future roadmap for the company, he said the gross margins are at an all-time high, while burn is at its lowest (57 per cent reduction in burn since FY18).
"The positive unit economics, reduced cash burn, and good gross margins across products have not only boosted Practo's operating revenue but has also given it a solid financial runway for the next 4-5 years to execute its growth strategy," Shashank said.

A degree, unlike anything else
"I've always been really interested in diseases," explains Jessica Fitch, an Honours student in the Bachelor of Philosophy program. Jessica is busy conducting her Honours research within the immunology program at the John Curtin School of Medical Research, where she is screening human DNA for copies of the recently discovered gene ROQUIN. The gene has been linked to autoimmune disease in mice and now Jessica hopes to help determine its role in the human immune system.
Research has been a highlight of Jessica's time at ANU and she says her degree has allowed her to pursue the projects which appealed to her the most. "I got to do some really cool things," she says.
Her past research projects include everything from searching marijuana DNA for markers to aid forensic profiling of the drug, to surveying public opinion on issues of women's health and rights.
Jessica says these experiences not only prepared her for Honours but also reassured her that the laboratory is where she wants to be. "Right from first year we can do really interesting research. It gives you opportunities to get more experience and do hands on things at an undergraduate level. It confirmed for me that I was really interested in research."
As a Canberra local, Jessica admits that she originally wanted to move away but couldn't pass up ANU and the degree structure it offered. "This degree is unlike anything that anyone else in Australia offers. I'm really happy I stayed now, it is fun being a university student here, there are just so many students and a great kind of atmosphere and community."

In a robot mobile system, various sources of disturbances exist simultaneously. To deal with a real practical situation for nonholonomic mobile robot control, both the dynamics of the robot system and the upper bound of the perturbation are assumed to be completely unknown, and a new robust adaptive neural network based controller is proposed in this paper. Accordingly, some adaptive laws are introduced and then applied online as controller gain parameters. The stability and convergence properties of the closed-loop system are analytically proved using Lyapunov stability theory. Experimental results are performed for a mobile robot to illustrate the viability and prove the effectiveness of the proposed controllers. As compared with the existing controllers, the designed control laws can enlarge the tolerable perturbation and guarantees an appropriate level of robustness of control system to uncertainties including external disturbances and unmodeled dynamics, where a priori knowledge of upper bound for the system uncertainties and external disturbances is not required.

Our home, our town, as a church we love the people of Leigh-on-Sea and the Borough of Southend-on-Sea.
you are here: home > about us > Leigh-on-Sea
We love Leigh-on-Sea (and Southend)
Love from Southend... HD from Philip Bloom on Vimeo
Leigh has something to offer everyone, young or old. Few places so close to London can offer the same kind of village feel, and with the foreshore as well, Leigh has many attractions.
Schools in the town cater well for those of primary school age. North Street and West Leigh are located in the heart of the town, Darlinghurst, Blenheim and Chalkwell Hall on the borders of Leigh to the north and east. Between them, these schools provide plenty of quality places for the town's younger pupils. Secondary education is partly served by the nearby grammar schools but mainly by Belfairs High School, the facilities and reputation of which seems to improve every year.
Superb shops
For those beyond school age, Leigh is a bustling centre. The Broadway is the centre of commerce and business and, unusually in these times, retains some individuality. Shops are mainly locally based so consequently more varied than many places and not just dominated by the ubiquitous chains. It is possible to buy just about anything in central Leigh from carrots to cars. We also have a Farmers' Market about 8 times per year!
Leigh is particularly notable for antique shops. Mainly from Broadway West right along the Leigh Road, shops deal in furniture, jewellery, bric-a-brac, books, in fact anything for the keen collector.
Lots to do
Leigh has a wealth of recreational facilities, especially for those who enjoy being on the water. Some hardy souls brave swimming at Leigh beach at any time of year but there is far more interest among those who prefer to stay on top of the water. Both Essex and Leigh Sailing Clubs are based in the Old Town and have strong membership with an active sports and social programme. Two active Sea Scout groups are based in the Old Town. Power boating, jet-skiing, windsurfing and water skiing are also popular pursuits off the foreshore, where sea anglers also try their luck.
Out of the water there are parks and gardens, tennis courts, bowling greens, football pitches, cricket fields, horse riding, ten-pin bowling and snooker clubs. Many of these facilities are centred at Belfairs Park and are run by Southend Borough Council. Belfairs golf course is a pleasant Municipal eighteen hole parkland course and is the home of Belfairs and Southend-on-Sea Golf Clubs.
Feed your mind
There is also a cultural side to Leigh-on-Sea. The church community volunteers help support the many festivals that take place in Leigh such as the Leigh Art Trail, Folk Festival, Regatta and Christmas Light Switch-on. There are art galleries which stage regular exhibitions and sell work of artists in the town and from across the world. There are numerous groups which meet regularly, covering drama, music and poetry. For information on all local groups and organisations, try the Leigh Library, in Broadway West.
Leigh is also becoming a popular place as a film and television location, attracted by its quiet charm, fishing history and excellent panoramic views of the estuary and the distant Kent coastline.
Leigh Old Town is the location of the Leigh Society's Heritage Centre, displaying much to do with the history of the town. Also in the Old Town we find galleries and reminders of the past. The "Endeavour" has been restored and is back afloat moored adjacent to Strand Wharf. Quiet sleepy cobbled streets among old fishermen's cottages can give way to a heaving mass on a sunny summer Sunday. The famous Leigh cockles and other delights of the sea are universally popular as the Old Town plays host to hundreds of locals and visitors.
Close to London
Much of the popularity of Leigh-on-Sea is due to its position within such easy reach of London. Only about forty five minutes from Fenchurch Street station the town enjoys a frequent service which provides an opportunity for thousands to commute to work thereby combining the quality of London employment with Leigh lifestyle. All the delights of the Capital, culture and recreation in all forms are available to townsfolk at the end of a short train ride.
It may be bustling, have an urban feel and be crowded at times but Leigh-on-Sea is blessed with much open space. Belton Hills Nature Reserve extends from the edge of the Old Town and shops of Rectory Grove through the gardens of Marine Parade all the way to, and continuing into Hadleigh Castle Country Park. An extensive programme is currently underway, aimed at returning original plantings to the area. South of the Hills, Two Tree Island and Leigh marshes provide homes for many species of birds, including our regular winter visitors the Brent Geese. Leigh Cliffs, Belfairs Woods and Blenheim and Bonchurch Parks all provide green open space for residents and visitors.
In addition we have one very special open space. Tucked away between the houses of Blenheim Chase and Manchester Drive are allotments. In fact fifteen acres of centrally sited open land is given over to allotment holders, providing a very welcome "lung" for the town and a contrast in environment from the surrounding residential areas. Gradually over the last few years the site has begun to fill with keen growers producing their finest fruit and vegetables.
As a church we love the people of Leigh-on-Sea and the Borough of Southend-on-Sea where we have been placed. It is our God given privilege to serve and journey together with our neighbours.

All ladies of our church assemble after the service on every Sunday and spend some time singing, praying, and devoting the time for unity and understanding. They discuss and share their happiness and sorrow. They try to replace the "I" with "us" all through prayers and devotion.
Our women's league also has been the backbone behind most of the social functions of the church. They delegate responsiblities for cooking and feeding the people. They take an active part in prayer meetings and various other programs.


The imminent arrival of cold weather and increases in heating-fuel prices mean that making your home more energy-efficient is more important than ever. Surprisingly, much of the energy used to heat and cool houses is wasted. The average home can easily save 30% on their energy use.
Find and seal holes. Each individual opening may seem tiny, but together they add up and result in significant exposure to the elements. Caulk leaky windows, add weatherstripping to doors, and insulate any openings, such as around air conditioner window units.
Don't heat unused space. Close doors to rooms you're not using.
Set your water heater to 120 degrees. Cover it with an insulating blanket.
Consider covering your windows with heavy drapery and plastic coverings.
Buy a programmable thermostat. Set it at 68 degrees for the day and 62 degrees at bedtime. In most homes, you can save about 2 percent of your heating bill for each degree that you lower the thermostat.
Replace your furnace or boiler with a high-efficiency model. If it's older than 20 years, chances are it is a good investment. It's essential to use a reputable and qualified heating contractor; heating systems are often oversized. It's a good idea to begin researching this topic before it's an emergency and your heater breaks down.
Don't forget the rest of the heating system. You may need to improve your house's insulation and air-tightness, repair or insulate ductwork, or tune up your system.
Do an energy audit. If you're serious about reducing your energy use, the audit will help you systematically evaluate what needs to be done. There are "do it yourself" versions, or you can hire a professional energy auditor. See the Residential Energy Services Network website.

Bibi Lacks Common Sense
Leonard Eisenberg: Last week there was a meeting in the White House between Israel Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu and President Barack Obama, where Prime Minister Netanyahu clearly showed me that he doesn't have any common sense (hot nicht kein sechel).
Leonard Isenberg
Benjamin Netanyahu Hasn't Any Common Sense (Hot nicht kein sechel)
What does it mean to be educated? Is it just the mastery of the curricula of a certain number of classes you need to get through school or is there another component necessary where a truly educated person is much more than the sum of all that they have learned.
In the Yiddish language of my parents' generation, there is the word sechel, which like many words from other languages can be translated, but in that translation often something is lost. Yes it is smarts, but it is also common sense. And for me it also incorporates something from the German word einfühlung, which we translate into English as empathy, but which literally means to feel into in German. Educated people feel into and have a passion for the life around them- all the life.
Last week there was a meeting in the White House between Israel Prime Minister Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu and President Barack Obama, where Prime Minister Netanyahu clearly showed me that he doesn't have any common sense (hot nicht kein sechel).
During the 15 minute press conference that he had with President Obama, where President Obama stated that it was only equitable for Israelis and Palestinians to respect the pre-1967 War borders of Palestinian territory as a point of departure in negotiations for a Palestinian state with subsequent land swaps to make both Israel and Palestine viable and defensible states, Netanyahu, whose government takes billions from the United States every year, had the chutzpah to dictate to the American president how it was going to be.
What I found most remarkable in Netanyahu's statement was his unequivocal statement that "Palestinian grandchildren and great grandchildren" of those that were forced out of their homes in 1948 when the state of Israel came into existence were not going to get a right of return. From his myopic point of view Netanyahu justified this and his assertion that Palestinian land would not be given back in clear derogation of international law by saying:
Israel was only 9 miles wide in 1967 and to give back Palestinian lands would make Israel indefensible.
The demography of population had changed since 1948.
Giving Palestinians, who have been displaced since 1948, the right of return would threaten the very existence of Israel as a Jewish state by the Palestinians' sheer numbers.
Israel had absorbed Jews displaced from Arab countries after 1948 and Arab countries should absorb Palestinians.
1. While I understand and believe in the concept of zionism as a solution for 2,000 years of antisemitism during the diaspora, I also do not think that Jews can achieve their right to a homeland by depriving another people of the same right. One would think that after 2000 years of diaspora, Jews should know this better than any other people, but alas, I guess Jews are just as flawed as other peoples around the world who place their own interest over that of others.
The Balfour Declaration of 1917, which supported the right of Jews to a homeland in Palestine, was given by the British Empire. Clearly, they had no right to do this. This declaration came after the British had broken their promise to the Arabs who helped them end 400 years of Ottoman Turkish domination. This was quickly replaced by British and French manipulation of Arabs' future that we are still feeling the effects of today with the democracy movement sweeping the Arab world in a final attempt to throw off the neo-colonist. A British plan to artificially inseminate the Jews into the Middle East to insure unrest has allowed the British and their American cousins after the Second World War to continue to exploit Arabian natural resources, while keeping dictators in power. This was the same gambit that the British played in India to keep Hindu and Muslim factions in India fighting each other, while the British continued to profit from their grief.
2. As for the changed demographics that Mr. Netanyahu refers to, Israel's creation of the Gaza Strip as a de facto prison for 1 1/2 million Palestinians, who have been denied all civil rights, along with the settling of Palestinian territory by Israelis, and the further segregation and harassment of Palestinians is the major cause for demographic change, along with Israeli's need to settle 1 million Russian Jews.
To my way of thinking, it is not a coincidence that many people have remarked at the similarities of Gaza and the Warsaw Ghetto. Although Palestinians haven't been "relocated" to extermination camps, they have suffered the same kind of extreme social isolation that the Jews themselves were subjected to. Those who are themselves the victims of violence often become the perpetrators of violence against others
3. As for the assertion by Prime Minister Netanyahu that giving the right of return to Palestinians would threaten the existence of Israel as a Jewish state, Netanyahu might be right, but only if the unconscionable conditions of the Palestinians living in their own diaspora are allowed to continue. Throughout the world population growth is directly related to standard of living. If Palestinians were not forced to live in squalor in other people's countries like the Jews did for 2000 years, they might have a significantly lower birth rate and be much less of a threat to the State of Israel.
The ultimate hypocrisy of Netanyahu's position comes when he asserts that Palestinians who have been in diaspora for 63 years have no right to a right of return, but an American Jew like myself does 1876 years after the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 A.D. against the Romans, who expelled my distant ancestors from Israel.
4. As for the fact that Israel absorbed Jews from Arab countries after 1948 being cited as a reason why Palestinians should be absorbed by Arab countries, this argument is rather specious. Yes Jews were expelled from Arab countries like Egypt, but the vast majority of Jews either wanted to immigrate to Israel or the State of Israel wanted them when they were expelled. This is not nor has it ever been the case with the Palestinians, who neither want to be absorbed in the foreign culture of other Arab countries, which have no desire to have their own populations disrupted by an ethnically unique Palestinian people who are just as entitled as the Jews to having their own country, unless you consider them untermenschen.
Given that the vast majority of Israelis and Palestinians are not very religious, one might posit an alternative 3 state solution: One for crazy Palestinians , one for crazy Israelis, and the far larger state for Palestinians and Israelis who value living in peace/shalom/salaam more than they do living in a constant state of war that is anathema to both peoples.
If Netanyahu was a well educated leader of his people with a real historical awareness of Israel/Palestine, he might join with the Palestinians in trying to figure out where both Palestinians and Israelis are going to get water from, when the aquifers that the Israelis have been pumping since long before 1948 run dry and the Turks dam up the headwaters of the Jordan and all the other rivers in the Holy Lands in eastern Anatolia as they move to reclaim the empire they lost to the British and the French at the end of World War I.

Zalie Waldhorn
This content is available in the following languages
Zalie was the second of three children born to immigrant Jewish parents. Her Polish-born father was a former officer in the Austro-Hungarian army who had met and married her Hungarian-born mother during World War I. Shortly before Zalie was born, her parents settled in Paris. There, Zalie and her brother and sister grew up in a religious household.
1933-39: Zalie's mother said it was better in Paris than in the poor village in which she grew up. Her mother spoke broken French, but Zalie grew up speaking French fluently. At elementary school they learned all about French history. She wasn't afraid of Hitler. Her father said that the terrible things happening to Jews in Germany wouldn't happen to them in France.
1940-44: Zalie was almost 13 when the Germans occupied Paris in 1940. In 1942 her father was deported with other Polish-born Jews. Then her mother was deported. After that, Zalie left Paris with false papers that hid her Jewish identity. She became 16-year-old Zalie Guerin. With her light hair, blue eyes and fluent French, she passed as a non-Jewish French citizen. In the town of Alencon she worked as a secretary, but after a year, she was discovered to be a Jew and arrested. The Germans beat her up; they seemed ashamed she'd fooled them for so long.
Zalie, 17, was deported to Auschwitz in a children's convoy on July 31, 1944. She survived the concentration camps, and returned to live in Paris after the war.

It is not a remedy but I've found that eating cooked pasta, plain without anything on it other than olive oil, is one of the easiest things to eat with strep. Soups and liquids hurt me more as I think they seep into any pus sores that are in the throat. And like my thick saliva, soups can be too thick to go down quickly, whereas pasta in olive oil just slips right down! I added some chopped up wafer thin ham just for a treat! Also green tea with some manuka honey stirred in, nothing beats manuka honey for the healing process of any disease or illness, and is quite soothing if you can get some liquids down into you.
I was living in Las Vegas enduring a fair amount of second hand smoke and working in retail where I did notice a monthly spraying of insecticide inside building. I developed a severe sore throat that made it almost impossible to swallow and even talking was tough. The pain was horrible and my throat and little tongue was swollen. This was going into the tenth week. I went to clinic twice during first few weeks and was given antibiotics for strep the first time and stronger antibiotics second time. It did not work. I did a lot of reading on forums and tried a variety of remedies to no success. I then tried a remedy with regular Listerine, flavored does not work. I bought a large bottle of Listerine, gargling four or five times every half hour all day long. I let the Listerine go down back of throat with my head tilted back. I would let it go as far down as possible with me being able to bring it back to my mouth. You will feel it gathering phlegm and mine was dark in color. I let it go back and forth repeatedly with every mouthful. I kept doing this for a few days and after about 3 or four large bottles the pain was gone never to return again. I sincerely hope this advice can help someone like it did me.
On 2/23 at 8 pm there was sudden onset of very sore throat, low grade fever and chills. My treatment was elderberry-honey syrup, garlic, frankincense, and Thieves oil on feet. I also gave 10K IU D3 every 3 to 4 waking hours, 1k mg vitamin C 2 to 3 times/day, lots of water and no processed sugar. On 2/24 the fever was around 101-102 with head ache, body aches and white patches on tonsils. The patient slept most of day, approximately from noon to 7 pm, waking to drink and treat with all the above, plus probiotic, oregano oil (topical on feet and oral two drops in capsules with grape seed oil). The patient has been offered fruit, broth, etc., but has rejected though drinking well. Fever broke around 8 pm. Hopeful that this is the beginning of the end. I had similar experience with my 10 year old a couple of weeks ago.
I went to the doctor with strep throat and was prescribed Z-Pak. I am allergic to penicillin.

It also looks at tree crops, from Medjool dates to shagbark hickory nuts, and America's new farmstead cheeses for the last course of the meal. Seasonal Desserts from Orchard, Farm and Market challenges our ideas about what's in season by looking at where foods are grown and what their true seasonality looks like. Green rhubarb with blackberries? Of course!
Because good fruit speaks so well for itself, these desserts don't depend on terribly exacting conditions and manual dexterity for success. These are recipes for cooks rather than pastry chefs, meaning they are easily made.


Home Information Technology Why go Paperless?
There was an article published by an analyst from Arthur D. Little on BusinessWeek in 1975 which stated that paper use would start to decline from 1980 and that it would nearly disappear by 1990. Fast forward to the present day, over 40 years later, and the usage of paper has increased by nearly 400%.
The peak was in 2007, with a slight decline since then. Paper producers have a higher revenue today than they did in 2011. When you consider workplaces going paperless in today's age, it is clearly visible that there is not much progress made. Some of the increase in paper usage can be attributed to the rise in awareness about plastic pollution. When compared, paper is lesser of the two evils. There have been a lot of environmental campaigns surrounding the harmful effects of plastic, and paper was seen to be a convenient alternative. Regardless of the environmental benefits of switching to paper from plastic, the fact still remains that an average worker in the United States uses about ten thousand sheets of paper each year. If stacked, it would come up to over three feet tall. If one was to stack all the paper used in offices in the United States each year, the pile would reach halfway to the moon.
Going paperless is a slow process. Over time, people have weaned off of using postal services and switched to emails and text messages. Similarly, people have moved on from using newspapers as their daily source of world news to different media like television, their phones and tablets, etc. Overall, people are comfortable with using electronic gadgets instead of paper, but for some reason, the same shift has not managed to occur in office spaces.
One of the biggest and most forgotten benefits of going paperless in an office is the increase in productivity. It is also one of the most compelling benefits. Documents stored electronically can be instantly available for access to anybody across the company. They are also available for use simultaneously, so two people can work on the same document without having to be in the same working space. It is also time-saving and improves the workflow among employees, resulting in better teamwork.
The ROI on going paperless in offices can be calculated within months. That is how financially beneficial it is to go paperless. Each office worker uses up about $500 worth of paper. This, plus the additional cost of storage, printers, toners, ink, and more, can end up a steep amount.
The amount of time and effort that goes into arranging, rearranging, and searching for paper documents is tremendous. By saving all the files digitally, this can be avoided.
Electronic documents can be encrypted and stored in cloud, making it a safer and more secure option than leaving physical copies of files in the office. Access can be monitored, and there are multiple ways of protecting files from cyberattacks.
Processing of documents and responding to requests is a lot faster when files are stored digitally. Requests can be processed in a matter of hours instead of days. This leads to improved customer satisfaction, which is only beneficial to the company.


just a random question: if you could pick ANYONE to be your Sensei, who would it be?
Pros: Sannin, pervert, older experienced many wars, lots of good knowledge, more on seals and 'fun' stuff... plus, WRITING!! get tips directly from a world famous published author, aw yea!
of my candidates, these are the two i'd most likely both 'learn' something and 'live'... so what about you guys?
Hmm, I'd either want Minato, or, haha, Sasori.
Pros: He'd teach me the rasengan, along with other things, and is a great leader and stuff.
Pros: I'd become a puppet master! I decided if I could have any Naruto power, I would want chakra strings. so yeah.
Pro: He is so awesome, he could teach me how to use lightning and fire, use the sharingan THAT I WOULD HAVE and how to rock the Konoha Forehead Protector in a stylish and effective way. Plus having a few ninkin around wouldn't hurt either.
Con: He could possibly get so lost in his perverted book that he would forget to train me or show up to training at all.

Iowa's Growth Balanced by a Steady Economic Climate
By David Hodes
Iowa has consistently been a strong state for economic development during the recession and recovery. While last year's drought did hurt local economies, the drive for a faster growing state is organized to where actions start at the top and filter down through the state's diversified industry sectors.
Gov. Terry Branstad committed to a balanced budget in 2011, his first year in office. For the first time in decades, the Iowa Legislature passed, and Branstad signed, a two-year budget, including a five-year projection.
As a result, Iowa added more than 46,000 gross new jobs in 2011. The state added 13,500 net new jobs in 2011. But that was just the beginning.
"When Governor Branstad came in, he came in with a full growth agenda," says Debi Durham, director, Iowa Economic Development Authority (IEDA). "And so we began first with the delivery system."
The IEDA created a new public-private partnership model called the Iowa Partnership for Economic Progress, which is very comprehensive, Durham says. The partnership promotes and markets the state to attract new investments and jobs. The new model will enable the state of Iowa's investments to be leveraged against private investment, while maintaining openness and transparency.
"The second step we took was making sure that we had the right team in place to execute that agenda," Durham says. She says that the IEDA had inherited one economic development incentive program from previous directors and governors, which was eliminated because it was too difficult to navigate. "We needed to make it simple and basically uplift our goals," Durham says.
The new program is the High Quality Jobs program, a combination of workforce development, tax credits and some direct financial assistance as needed, Durham says. The program provides qualifying businesses tax credits to offset the costs incurred to locate, expand or modernize a facility in Iowa.
"In the current legislative session, we are really just getting more resources, raising the cap limit on our investment tax credits," Durham says. "For a state of 3 million people we have almost $6 billion in our portfolio of projects. So our pipeline is really robust right now."
Industries and Innovations
Agriculture is a large business sector, located throughout the state. The manufacturing sector is also strong, with a collection of small companies throughout the state, working in the automotive and aerospace industry, such as Flexsteel Industries Inc. in Dubuque, making car seats; and in Orange City is Quatro Composites, a wholly owned business of Tec Industries LLC, which is working in complex carbon fiber composites.
According to a report from Iowa State University called "Manufacturing in Iowa 2011," the state's manufacturing sector today contributes a sizeable share of the state's gross domestic product. Iowa consistently ranks among the leading 10 states in manufacturing, and is home to more than 6,100 manufacturing firms operating from 6,440 physical establishments throughout the state.
Many of the same companies supplying the auto industry also supply parts to farm implement and construction manufacturers. "That is what is here in terms of manufacturing; the farm equipment companies such as John Deere [with seven locations in the state] and Caterpillar," Durham says. The manufacturing base also includes manufacturing companies such as Pella Corp., located in Pella.
Rick Dickinson, president and CEO of the Greater Dubuque Development Corp., says that the area is "in good shape," with a strong land-based casino presence, including Diamond Jo Casino Dubuque, one of four casinos contributing to the region's economic health.
The Port of Dubuque, is an area that since 2001 has witnessed about $500 million in redevelopment investments.
Today, Dubuque, where at one time nearly 35 percent of the workforce was employed by the now defunct Dubuque Packing Co., which closed in 2001), is home to a more diversified economy. Leading industry clusters include financial services (Prudential Retirement is located downtown); manufacturing operations such as a revitalized John Deere plant; and value-added food processing, which includes Hormel Foods Corp., which produces microwaveable meals, and employs 300 people.
"The largest growth in our economy as far as jobs has been the recent arrival of the IBM Dubuque Local Delivery center," Dickinson says. The IBM center is expected to create up to 1,300 jobs. The new technical services delivery center will support U.S. strategic outsourcing clients, providing server systems operations, security services and end-user services, including maintenance and monitoring of computer hardware and software systems.
"We want to use our heads in job growth and development," Dickinson says. "We want to be a smarter, sustainable Dubuque."
In the Kossuth County/Palo Alto area, Maureen Elbert, executive director of the Kossuth County Economic Development Corp., says the county faces several challenges to development, which includes a declining and aging population, and a workforce that has been leaving for other communities.
Elbert notes recent economic development efforts have aided in the creation of a 45- million-gallon ethanol plant; expansion projects for two local employers; and the purchase of a speculative building in an industrial park. "The key to fulfilling our mission lies in developing partnerships between various entities to capitalize on the resources available in the county," Elbert says.
Shelise Parsley, executive director, Cedar County Economic Development Commission, points to the emerging sustainable energy business, Acciona Windpower, as an economic driver in the area. The company installed two, 3-megawatt wind turbines in 2012 in Cedar County. The project, called the Pioneer Grove Wind Farm, is the first installation of these types of wind turbines in North America.
Cedar County's largest employer is the school district, Parsley says. There are also manufacturers of agriculture equipment, as well as construction businesses in the area. "Really, business here runs the gamut," she says. "We are people who like to build things."
Talent and Education
For a relatively small state, Iowa has a large presence of higher education learning institutions, including approximately 60 colleges and universities. Dubuque is home to Stephens University, the University of Dubuque and Loras College. There are also two law schools in the state accredited by the American Bar: Drake University Law School in Des Moines and the University of Iowa's College of Law in Iowa City.
The 1,900-acre University of Iowa campus is composed of 11 colleges, with the largest being the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The university is a public research university, home to one of the largest teaching hospitals in the nation, and the highly-regarded Iowa Writers' Workshop program.
Iowa State University in Ames, with a 2012 enrollment of more than 31,000, offers more than 100 majors, including the largest concentration of faculty involved in sustainable agricultural teaching and research. It is also home to the Bioeconomy Institute, a leader in developing new sources of energy, fuels and other products from renewable sources.
One of the greatest logistics assets in Iowa is the presence of two major interstates: Interstate 80, a 289-mile interstate going northeasterly from the Iowa/Nebraska state line and recognized as the Midwest connection between Chicago and Omaha; and Interstate 35, a 218-mile long interstate going north-south and joining the metropolitan centers of Kansas City, Des Moines and Minneapolis.
There are also approximately 104 state roads serving rural areas throughout the state.
Iowa is home to 16 common freight carrier railroads serving the state, including the Burlington Northern Santa Fe, the second-largest freight railroad in the country; the Canadian National Railway, the largest railroad in Canada serving the U.S. Midwest along the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico; and the Union Pacific Railroad, the largest railroad network in the United States, running throughout much of the Midwest, West and Southwest.
Dubuque's city officials are looking for quality of life education as part of the foundation of the community, Dickinson notes. In fact, IBM selected the city to be one of the model cities for its smarter cities programming. "We are currently doing an experiment with IBM about health and wellness; and creating real-time experiments for water usage, utility bills and costs," Dickinson says.
Back at the state level, Durham says that the goal of the IEDA is to create 200,000 new private sector jobs and increase family wealth by 25 percent. "So if you think about it, it's a paradigm shift, it's really a wealth-creating agenda," Durham says. "And to get there we are going to have to take a comprehensive approach to growth."
The state is able to turn projects around more quickly these days, Durham says, with a streamlined regulatory process. For example, these processes assisted in supporting two large fertilizer projects in the state: CF Industries, with a plant near Sioux City, representing a $1.7 billion investment; and the Iowa Fertilizer Co. to Lee County, representing a $1.4 billion investment.
"We are building on a really strong base and taking it to the next level, on all fronts," Durham says. "You can just feel the energy here, and see it."

From 2001 to 2011, Iowa's manufacturing exports have grown 179 percent. In 2011, Iowa exported $13.3 billion worth of manufactured and value-added goods.
Iowa's colleges and universities produce nearly 1,500 engineering graduates per year.
Advanced manufacturing is Iowa's largest industry, contributing $28 billion annually to the state's economy. There was a 24.5 percent increase in manufacturing GDP in the state, compared to a 15 percent increase in the remainder of the United States.
Seven Oaks Recreation is a family-owned and operated recreational area in Boone, located in central Iowa. Activities include skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, canoeing, kayaking, river tubing, paintball, mountain biking and tent camping. Summer activities include full service canoe, kayak and river tube floats on the Des Moines River seven days a week.

Iowa Organizes for Nontraditional Growth


After making our target we started to think about what kind of a boat we need to fulfill our dream.
For exploring the Baltic Sea our boat Skorgenes 335 Fly would be good enough. Her technical capabilities and living quarters are suitable for small scale cruising, but she has only one engine. Full tanks get her to 200 nautical miles distance, therefore passage planning must mainly be done according to refuel possibilities. Thus we started to look for next Suwena.
We set to ourselves a target to find a boat that is capable to cross the oceans. Also a livability is important to us so we could enjoy ourselves on ocean crossings and in harbors for longer time periods as well. New Suwena will be our floating home indeed.
The boating fairs are a good place to start searching for a new cruising boat and so we went to several fairs as Helsingin venemessut, Düsseldorf Boot and Southampton Boat Show. In Germany and UK the variety of presented boats were larger than in Finland and it was a lot of walking and note taking to make comparisons and understand the choices. As motor boaters we started with motor boats.
Swedish Nord West 420 is a planing boat and it's bigger than Suwena, but in many ways Nord West very similar to her. There is space to live on board for longer time and plenty of options, even including the washing machine. The boat was very nice both inside and outside as well. We also received an excellent service on stand. The 42 feet Nord West is equipped with two engines but as a planing boat very long voyages can't be achieved. Therefore she does not become our new Suwena.
Trader 42 Signature from UK looked intriguing. The boat was built very well and a livability was excellent. There were several options for changing the layout of cabins, both helm stations and deck space as well. We think that livability in Trader was one of the best we saw in these shows. Also Trader was the only motorboat to feature the winches on back deck to assist with mooring lines. Overall the boat was built very strongly. If we would have been looking for planing boat, Trader would have been in very strong position as new Suwena.
We also visited numerous other similar boats but planing and semi displacement boats weren't suitable for us because of fuel consumption. Thereafter we narrowed our search to full displacement boats only.
The choice of motorboats with displacement hulls was limited. We only found boats from USA and Netherlands.
From Dutch boats only Elling was interesting to us. Others were more or less designed as canal boats that are marketed for sea areas as well but we were not convinced. For example on the Linssen the helmsman's chair wasn't fixed to the deck. We just wonder what good that might do in open sea :-? Of course if the trips are mainly done in Finnish archipelago or Saimaa lakes the Linssen is a viable option. We also looked at the other Dutch boats and all of them had something we really didn't like. The first impression from these boats is: the floating caravan.
Exception in yachts from Holland is the Elling that we considered as one of the alternatives for us. Elling E3 was presented in water in Southampton Boat Show. Her layout is very similar to sailboat without the mast even thou it is full featured motor boat. Elling's specialty is self righting hull in other words, it is designed to work the same way as a lifeboat.
Elling's salon is designed to be a very charming and modern. We felt like being in a design villa by all positive meanings. Oval shaped settee gave a really open feeling. It also has an impression that even a larger party could spend a good long evening there. Elling E3's kitchen was not any more a small pentry but a full kitchen, including a wine cellar as well. She had three cabins and one of them can be equipped as an office.
Elling boats have usually one engine only but they can be ordered with a small get-home engine. Elling has rather low profile and she can pass through the most European canals, the Paris center is fully reachable. The range is quite good and full tanks take her 1500 nautical miles. Elling E4 has crossed the Atlantic Ocean by using extra fuel strapped in canisters on deck.
We think Elling E3's weaknesses are the poor helm station ergonomics and the access to engine room. By building excellent living quarters the space for technical equipments is clearly too small considering easy maintenance accessibility. Elling yacht would be a very good alternative as a new Suwena should we have no desire to cross the oceans one day.
Nordhavn was the love at first sight when we had the opportunity to explore the yachts. Nordhavn 47 would be a perfect boat for our needs. She is a full displacement ocean going motorboat with the range of 3000 nautical miles. She has the both main engine and an auxiliary get-home engine. The fuel system is very well designed, the day tank is filled through additional fuel filter and therefore the fuel to engine is always clean and engine's reliability grows.
Nordhavn's layout was in different league compared to the others. Living quarters are just like in a private house and an engine room is made for continious use. For example a guy as tall as Andrus (180 cm) can stand beside the engine with his back straight. Similar technical spaces we have not seen in any other pleasure boat.
Nordhavn has really been succeeded to create a large boat that a couple can handle and maintain by themselves. Several Nordhavns travel at present on circumnavigation with the couple as a crew.
Norhavn 47 has two decent size cabins with own heads and showers and a big salon. Kitchen is not anymore a pentry by any mean but rather a full chef's kitchen. There are plenty of cold spaces: separate cooler and refrigerator in addition to two freezers. Galley even includes garbage press and the boat has a tremendous amount of storage space.
The helm station is at amidships with a lot of space for navigation equipment and not forgetting a separate bunk for a captain. The Nordhavn is like a miniature ship. A dinghy can be stored on upper deck from where also can be climbed to the flybridge. The second helm station is also located on flybridge.
Nordhavn 43 is a little sister to Nordhavn 47. She has same layout but everything is a little bit smaller even thou she is still a very huge boat. Despite of her length being only 13 meters she weights over 27 metric tons. The same numbers of Nordhavn 47 are 14.5 meters for length and 39 metric tons for weight.
We started negotiation about the both of 43 and 47 and reserved a sea trial. Already beforehand we followed the blogs of Nordhavn owners. Nordhavns have circumnavigated many times and have been in very demanding places. For example in 2009 Norhavn 59 passed through the north east passage.
We were served by Philip Roach from Nordhavn Southampton office. Co-operation with Philip was very good and we got an excellent idea what it means to own and use a Nordhavn yacht. As time passed we also negotiated with the Nordhavn owner Dan Streech.
After running through the fairs and searching the net, the only real option for motorboat was Nordhavn, because she is the only ocean crossing capable motorboat in serial production today. We also decided to search for sailboats before the final decision and started to wait for Nordhavn seatrial.
Would a sailboat be an option for us? Sailboats are used routinely to do circumnavigations and there are a plenty of choices. So we started to look at sailboat options. We used a similar list of requirements that we did for motorboats. Helsinki, Düsseldorf and Southampton boat shows all featured plenty of different sailboats and we took a lot of notes and made comparisons.
After running around the boat shows and exploring different brand sailboats we noticed that yachts made in serial production in France and Germany are rather similar. In large series boats are made cost effectively but on the other hand their personality and even comfortability suffer. But their price of course is much more reasonable.
We studied among the others the yachts with a length approx. 40 feet from the following brands: Bavaria, Beneteau, Jeanneau, X-Yachts, Saare, Hanse and Moody. All of them had theirs own charm but for one or another reason they did not felt our boat. In most of the production boats the main problem was that there was very little or not at all any possibilities to make changes into the layout so we could be comfortable with her.
We got more acquainted with Bavaria during our sailing course in 2009 December in Tenerife. We had Bavaria 51 cruiser as our training boat and our instructor was Erkki Salonen from Wilhelmina Sailing Ltd. During the week we had a lot of discussions with Erkki about what we should consider in our new Suwena. We thought about requirements what our cruising area brings and about limitations of our crew size. We pondered about options in rigging, possible sail combinations, number of winches and other equipments.
At the same time with theory we got used to work on sailboat deck both in harbours and on ocean swell as well. During this we found for example that handling a spinnaker with so small crew may not be successful.
We also had some rough conditions when the wind picked up and rose to 18 m/s with the waves being almost 4 meters at the time. It made us to think about what kind of equipment we need for surviving in storm by two of us only. The course boat had traditional mainsail. We noticed that in good conditions the handling was not a problem but in more windy situations mainsail with furling system would be better for us.
It looks like electricity and electrical systems are a headache in most of the boats. As an entrepreneurs we are very tied to our companies. Even during our summer cruise we have to do some work. At worst this means that two laptops are being run full time. Therefore one big requirement for a new Suwena is the electric system. We have followed many sailors and their sailboats. The electrical problems seem to be more rule than the exception. Batteries are empty and there are not enough power for chartplotter or radar. Our future boat's electrical system must be designed to handle large continuous loads and that is not very typical for a sailboat.
We would like to get a boat with the length of at least 40 feet, so she will be our home also on our longer voyages in the future. But the bigger boats tend to have more cabins than we really need and most sailboat manufacturers do not allow any changes in boat's layout. We understand the need for cabins in case the boats are used in competitions and there are a plenty of crew to fine tune the sails. These boats are also used as charter yachts and then bigger number of cabins are needed. However we plan to travel with just two of us as a crew. In addition Eve's blindness reduces our operating possibilities and the boat should be safe and fully handleable with the crew of "one and a half" persons.
As there is a limited crew we need to make many things in a different way and thus we think that inside helm station gives us more opportunities to operate the boat. However inside helms are not common among the sailboats. We did not like the lifelines that most sailboats use as a railings. Maybe that is because our current Suwena has really good and strong stainless steel tube railings that also gives additional safety element to Eve.
On the boat shows we were visiting in several sailboats which had squeaks and groans in their hulls when children run on a deck. Even if these boats are designed for blue water sailing we are not willing to take our souls in this kind of a boat into the middle of the ocean. Our current Suwena's hull is very strong, bottom thickness is 20 mm of solid laminate and there have never been any creepy sounds. We would like also our new boat to feature the hull made of solid laminate. Whenever we found the yacht made with the sold laminate hull she had a layout not pleasing us and no possibility to make customizations.
At some point we thought about catamaran as one option and went to see the Lagoons in Southampton Boat Show. Additionally in Merikarvia we had a Lagoon catamaran Kaljuska as our neighbour. Kaljuska's owners were happy to present their boat to us and we learned about differences, benefits and disadvantages between catamarans and monohulls. However catamaran's width limits its usage and therefore catamaran did not feel like our boat.
It looked like we do not find a sailboat for us until we run into Nauticat yachts. In discussions with the boatyard we found immediately solutions to all our requirements. Their range included several options that could be potentionally customized as our boat. Nauticat's philosophy is that for each customer they will build a boat to his needs. Each Nauticat is built fully with one-off principle and therefore there are no two same looking Nauticats in the world.
We got so exited about Nauticats in Helsinki floating boat show that we spend one complete day aboard one of their yachts, being a "troublemaker" and asking all kind of questions. We studied Nauticat yacht options thoroughly both in the boat show and later in the boatyard after which we chose the pilothouse sailboat 42 and traditional motorsailer 441 as options to continue the negotiations.
Nauticat 441 is the CE B-category boat and we have a dream to cross the oceans one day. Nauticat Yachts Ltd managing director Kaj Gustafsson told that "CE B-classification is due to EU certification requirements that count side doors as the downflood opening. Even thou the 441's aluminium frame doors are watertight enough EU officials speculate that a crew member may forget the door open and the doorstep will be thus counted as a downflood opening. The whole yacht is however designed and built fully according to the CE category A requirements. In other countries like Japan, Nauticat 441 is approved as an ocean capable yacht."
From the first sight we were fascinated by how comfortable and liveable Nauticat interior feels. Plastic moulded surfaces are not visible from anywhere. Interior is designed and made with good taste and professionalism. The hull is solid laminate and it made absolutely no sound even the other customers went in and out all the day in the fair. And as a last thing, Nauticats are made here in Finland and Finnish quality craftsmanship is very well known all around the world.
We got strongly interested in Nauticats and asked for an offer for the both of 42 and 441 models and agreed upon a seatrial.
After eager search for the choices of new Suwena we laughed we have the N and the N as an option but whichever N? It took a lot of sweat to make a comparison and consider all possible and impossible things. We decided however we need to have a seatrial of both boats. Of course we have looked behind every panel and searched thoroughly through the both boats, but Suwena will be bought for a cruising, not for standing in marinas and therefore we think the both boats will tell us a lot about their soul on seatrial.
New Suwena is being built right now at full speed in Nauticat Yachts boatyard in Pöytyä, Finland. In the mean time we are waiting very impatiently for the next May. The Suwena will be launched into water then.
Here is a small teaser about our upcoming boat. The new Suwena is a sailboat Nauticat 441, hull number 181. The yacht's length including the bowspirit and swimming platform is 14.58 meters.
Suwena has a ketch rigging. She has two masts: main and mizzen mast. The sail plan includes a total of five different sails: main and mizzen sails, genoa, gennaker and storm jib. The primary sails are all fitted with a furling systems. The gennaker is fitted with the sock and there is a separate forestay for rising the storm jib.
For an engine we chose a low speed diesel engine M225Ti from Perkins Sabre. The engine power output is 148 hp. Considering our future sailing area the engine must be as simple as possible and also mechanical. Therefore we have opted out the latest technology like common rail fuel system and electronic controls. This engine can be repaired in emergency by local mechanic anywhere in the world and spare parts might be available from the tractor on the nearby field.
A big enough ground tackle is a safety factor on long voyages. Our main anchor will be a jumbo size 33 kg Rocna anchor that can be easily raised with electric windlass. The 10 mm anchor chain is made of steel. Totally 100 meters of chain will be stored in anchor locker.
Every Nauticat boat has a different layout because all boats are build with one-off principle and customized to customer needs. Our Suwena's interior has designed to function for mainly the two crew members.
The salon with big panoramic view is located in the midships. The salon can be entered from the both starboard and port side doors. On the left side of salon is a U-shape settee. A part of the settee is removable for making the passage easier through the port side door.
An internal helm station is on the starboard side. It is designed to keep all the controls ergonomically next to the helmsman. In addition there is a storage for all kinds of electronic gadgets in the starboard side cupboard. This has a benefit that devices are not spread around the boat during the charging. In conjunction with the salon is also a wet locker for draining the clothes into the bilge.
Few steps down from the salon is a spacious aft cabin. Both sides of the queen size bed can be easily used to access numerous cupboards and drawers. We wanted all cabinets to have doors so our stuff will not fly around in heavy seas and also there will be less places to gather the dust. On the starboard side of the aft cabin is the toilet and at the same place on port side is a separate shower. A washing machine is located in the shower as well.
When going forward from the salon, few steps below is a galley and a dinette. The cozy dinette is comfortable place for eating and working. Correspondingly the left side is designated for making a delicious foods. U-shaped galley is a full chefs kitchen with the gimbaled electrical oven and cooktop, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, cold box and a plenty of storage space. The Seagull water purification system delivers fresh drinking water.
A small hallway leads from dinette to a forecabin. On the left side there is the boats second head and next to it is a cabinet for storing out folding tandem bike on sea. On the starboard side there is more storage space and a dishwasher. In the forecabin is a V-shaped bed and cupboards for our guests.
A lot of time was used for designing an electrical system. Boats navigation electronics and refrigerators run from 24 volt system. Convenience appliances from mobile phone charger to blow dryer on the hand use 230 volt voltage. Suwena has 10 domestic electrical sockets spread around the yacht and we do not need to compromise from home comforts. An electricity source can be selected by switches into either generator, shore-power or batteries. We have 4 x 225 Ah batteries and this means the domestic home appliances can be used through the 2500 watt inverter with some limitations without the generator.
We've been thrilled to follow up the building of new Suwena and visiting the yard almost monthly. It is amazing to follow the project lasting almost nine months and in every visit there have been a huge progress in completion. Most people do not see inside the "belly" of the boat because usually the boat is delivered complete and many places are already sealed up. To see everything is really impressing.
The manufacturing of the Nauticat 441 boat starts with the lamination of the hull and the deck. All Nauticat boats are made of solid single skin laminate by hand laminating.
The manufacturing process starts by laminating two half hulls into their own molds. Nauticat paints the waterline into the gelcoat and therefore we had to choose the hull's decoration's colour already before the start of the lamination. Suwena will have a white hull with black waterline and decorations. At the same time we also decided to rise up the waterline level a few centimeters as our boat will be heavily loaded for long distance cruising.
On two outer layers Nauticat uses powder mat. In construction layers Nauticat uses directional mat for maximum material strength. Mats are laminated by using polyester resin. Finished laminate's thickness is depending on a location but in hull it is between 15 mm and 30 mm.
Both hull sides are laminated together when the resin is still tacky. The final result looks like the hull was made from single piece. Next step is to laminate the hull stiffeners and main bulkheads. Also the iron ballast is added to the hull. Nauticat 441's ballast weight is 5.5 metric tons. As the resin dries the styrene evaporates and the polyester shrinks just a little. Therefore the mold is easier to separate from the hull.
Before a fixing the deck with the hull all bulky parts like engine, fuel tanks, shower and toilet modules are installed.
Parallel with the hull the deck is made in its own mold. When deck is separated from the mold places of windows, doors and other hatches are cut open. Then the teak is fastened and deck hardware and winches are installed as well. To build the full yacht there are needed many other molds in addition than the hull and deck molds. E.g. in Nauticat 441 shower and toilets are made as separate molded parts.
The finished deck is lifted on the top of the hull and then fixed together with epoxy glue and bolts every 10 cm.
The full curing process of the polyester resin takes several months. It's depending on a yachts size and model curing times varies, however storage in warm location for 4 to 5 months is absolute minimum to achieve a good result. Our boats hull will be inside for eight months before she is taken to test pool outside. When we visited aboard in many yachts on different fairs the smell was one thing we noticed. Nauticat yachts do not have the stink of the resin, instead they have a smell of the clean wood.
Metal and woodwork started after the joining of the deck and the hull. For average boater the visible metalworks are swimming platform, railings and bowspirit. Here are few remarks from our yacht.
The dinghy has been a major factor in swimming platform design. At first we had a plan to equip Suwena with davits. We like to moor our boat stern-to and the dinghy hanging from the davits would be on our way when mooring the boat. We also did not like to rise the davits so high that we could do the mooring under the dinghy. All things considered we decided to keep the dinghy as we did on our old boat.
The dinghy will be stored on the swimming platform standing vertically during the shorter legs. During the open sea voyages the dinghy will be emptied and stored on a foredeck. Traditionally 441's ladder from swimming platform to the aft deck is in the middle of the boat. We moved the ladder to starboard side, so the dinghy can be in the middle of the swimming platform. Now there are plenty of space to handle the mooring stern-to.
Another detail we like very much in Nauticat is the railing. When we visited in the Nauticat yard next time our Suwena had got a nice steel railing with teak cover. Nauticat 441 has side doors on the both sides of the salon. We also chose an optional gate into the port side of the railing to make bunkering and mooring easier.
Choosing the ground tackle was a big decision. Nauticat 441 comes default with 35 kg CQR anchor. CQR has been decades the most popular anchor among boaters. However we decided to choose a Rocna anchor, because its ability to reset itself. During the few last years Rocna has become up as another popular choice for cruising yachts because of its good holding power and resetting ability. In a situation where the anchor breaks loose either because of the wind or the current Rocna's quick resetting makes it a good choice and crew aboard will get a better sleep. Andrus commented here that the anchor is sized about the right when everybody in marina laughs at you. Our Suwena will have a huge 33 kg Rocna anchor. If you are interested more in anchors we recommend to read the story behind Rocna anchors and their knowledge base about anchoring.
Nauticat's standard bowsprit is designed for Delta and CRQ -type anchors. The place for the anchor is below the bowsprit. Rocna anchor features the rollbar and needs a different bowsprit for its storage. The yard proposed a solution where bowsprit would be a little shorter and the anchor would be stored on the top of it. The anchor will be lowered and raised by rolling the chain over the front of the bowsprit.
Shortening the bowsprit decreases the area of the headsail. 441's number 1 genoa area is 53.5 square meters and our headsail area will be 48.5 sq m. This means that our jenny will be between number 1 and number 2 genoa. The final performance of sails will be seen and we will write more after Suwena is sailing on the sea.
In the past the boats were built from the wood. Nowadays the wood have been largely superseded by GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic). The Nauticat however holds on the wood craftsmanship as the yachts interior is built by using the traditional woodworking techniques. The manual building process enables that every Nauticat can be manufactured according to buyers wishes.
Eve's grandfather was a real old time carpenter. When grandpa built houses, Eve's playhouse or dollhouse complete with miniature furniture he always said that "workmanship must be done in a way that I dear to say its done by me and that corners and joints must always be fully aligned".
So it was a pleasure to watch the work of Nauticat carpenters. Yachts interior is built from floor upwards maintaining the horizontal and vertical alignment. This makes that corners of cabinets and all joints are always straight. In addition the craftsmanship can be seen in good visual design in all wooden parts. After all it is quite a challenge in boat-building to connect the curvy three-dimensional boat lines into sleek outcome. A good example of this is when we were wondering about wide margin space on upper part of the kitchen cupboard. We received a prompt answer that if the margin would be narrower it would not be on line with port side ceiling and other cabinets because of rooftop curving.
The boatyard gives free hands to customers and of course the customers ask for all kind of things. We enjoyed working with master carpenter Perttu. We told him what we are looking for and Perttu's implementation usually exceeded our expectations. For example during our visit to the yard we discussed about the location of TV. We did not want to locate the TV inside the wall of the cabinet as it is done usually. We proposed a simple fixture on the wall. However during next visit Perttu had made a mockup of the TV and a rotating fixture that can be turned against the wall and fixed there when on sea. This is only one example where the yard made more than we expected.
Because of hand made woodworking the customer can choose the boats interior layout as the locations of the cabin walls can be moved around. E.g. some customers have opted for a Finnish sauna in aft. We wanted a separate head and shower with the spacious aft cabin. Also the size and location of cabinets can be decided by customer. We will have large cabinets on both side of the bed with a lot of storage space.
Accordingly a location and size of the galley can be tailored according to intended use. We have seen both U- and L-shaped kitchens in different sizes and locations onboard. Our boat is built in a way that galley can be used for cooking also on sea and the boat is suitable for living aboard for longer times.
We will have doors on all cupboards because we did not want to have any open shelfs to gather the dust. Also heavy seas can make things to fall out from open shelfs. The carpenters built all cabinets according to the measurements we wished for. Even the number and height of the shelves in the cabinets can be decided depending on the needs of the customer. We have one special cabinet between forward head and guest cabin on the port side for our foldable tandem. The cabinet is built according to the measurement of the bike.
Woodwork lasted several weeks during which all the floors, walls, cabinets, tables, beds and other things are built. When everything was ready all teak surfaces inside were varnished. After the varnish was dry all surfaces and edges were protected with plywood and carton as the next phase is the equipment installation and after that the boat will be fully rigged and tested in test pool before the delivery.
The yacht manufacturing is a multidimensional project where many craftsmanships disciplines are integrated. Usually nobody thinks about this because the boat is seen as the complete yacht. Now we have followed the complete boat construction we really can appreciate how different things are made in parallel and integrated together according to a production plan.
Many people only think about technical features when comparing the boats. However a livability and comfort are both important as well. Already in our first boat we did some real cruising trips lasting between 8 to 9 weeks in every season. Our target for a second boat is to build a yacht where we can live aboard for longer periods.
Many brands offer for a customer to choose salon and dinette fabrics and colors together with the color world of carpets and curtains too. Nauticat boatyard has its own sewing shop for making upholsteries, mattresses, curtains and carpets. We had a multitude of selections about interior elements like for example we were able to select the shape of salon couch back rest and we selected the design with a good support in lumbar region.
in the future to more southern latitudes where the black color would make the interior gloomy looking during the evenings and very hot during the daytime sunshine. Nauticat uses a lot of teak wood in the interior so we selected warm red colors for the upholstery.
All other fabrics beside the curtains were easily found from the yard's selection. We looked around in many decoration shops to find blackout curtains that would fit Suwena. However all found options were always only one sided and we did not want to have the curtain outside in only plain white. Additional challenge was that the fabrics must be fire resistant. Of course the fire resistant treatment can be added separately for any fabric but it increases the price per meter a lot. Tuula listened to our wishes and searched more alternatives for us, from where we found our curtains. Suwena has many windows so sewers will have a plenty of work to make all according to the measurements.
The yard also has several mattress choices that we were able to test in sewing shop. Suwena's forecabin V-shaped bunk will have a removable piece to make it a double bed. Also dinette's table can be lowered to make an additional bunk. In addition to aft cabin bed the second storm bunk will be in dinette bed. Dinette'ss bed is in midships and we think it will be the best place to sleep in sea swell.
The quality and the comfort of our own bed is important for keeping our backs in good shape. We are planning to spend two continuous months aboard this season and more in the future. Therefore we are willing to invest a little more in the mattress and we chose the body conforming Familon Aeroflex mattress. Now we are waiting eagerly for new Suwena and next summer sailing experiences and beautiful dreams when water plays on Suwena's hull.


Under most circumstances, we all act according to our inherent nature.
So often people ask me what should they do when someone does bad to them? Or that how should they act when they find themselves in difficult circumstances having to do things they would rather not? Every time I'm posed these questions, I'm reminded of a beautiful story I read in Three Times Chai by Laney Becker, a book presenting the Jewish tradition of storytelling.
One particular story talks about a devout Christian who was involved with the Danish underground, an organization that rescued a large number of Jews in Denmark from the Nazi pogrom.
Jordan Knudsen was an ambulance driver. He was also an active member of the Danish underground during World War II. The underground had just learned of the day when the SS (the Schutzstaffel, the Nazis' elite defense force) was planning to begin deporting Denmark's Jews to the death camps. This news served as the signal for the underground to spring into action.
Being an ambulance driver in a totalitarian system was (and remains) an extraordinarily valuable occupation because an ambulance driver can turn on the vehicle's siren and go almost anywhere. Since Knudsen drove an ambulance, he had an ideal means by which to smuggle Jews out of the country. But he had a problem, and it wasn't insignificant: He didn't know anyone who was Jewish. There were seventy-five hundred Jews in the country, and he didn't know a single one of them. So-what to do?
Knudsen could have done nothing-how many people in a similar position would have chosen that option? But he was determined to do something. So he found a telephone directory and flipped through its pages, looking for names that struck him as Jewish. Knudsen knew that certain names were frequently Jewish. Once he came across a listing with a Jewish-sounding sounding name, he drove to the corresponding address. If Jews were living there, he took them in his ambulance to a hospital, which was the first step in smuggling the Jews into neutral Sweden, where they could survive the war in safety.
Many years after World War II ended, researchers at Yad Vashem (an organization safeguarding the memory of Holocaust victims) found Knudsen and interviewed him.
His answer was extraordinary in its simplicity: "What else could I have done?" That's all he said.
As I always say that under all circumstances act in a manner that befits you. For that matter, we all act according to our inherent nature which determines our knee-jerk reactions in most situations. Such reactions or our spontaneous actions are largely influenced by our subconscious mind. And, our subconscious mind, I may add, is a giant storehouse of our past thoughts, experiences and emotions.
In a way, this question of what-should-you-do-when-someone-does-bad-to-you becomes redundant because you're most likely to do whatever comes naturally to you. Let's say someone advises you to not lash out at the other person when angry. No matter how much you want to, you'll find it hard to act on this advice because spontaneity in actions is often not a conscious choice. It's a habitual reaction, your wonted response.
Therefore, a more pertinent question, in my view, should be: how do I change my inherent nature so I am able to react in a manner that befits me? So that goodness comes to me as naturally as scent in rose? Is it even possible?
The answer is yes. It can't be done overnight though. Transformation of the subconscious is a gradual process. Steady steps with discipline are needed to accomplish this feat. Mindfulness with contemplation is the path to erase painful imprints from our subconscious so that we don't act habitually but mindfully. So that our sudden reactions to situations and people are replaced by thoughtful responses.
Memory of our past can't be erased just by wanting to get rid of it. However, the pain associated with undesirable past experiences and memories can be allayed to a great degree by developing loving-kindness, indifference and dispassion towards memories that give us grief. Or, you could consciously meditate on erasing those psychic imprints. A few years back, I touched upon it here and here. (This is also covered in my book on meditation, by the way).
Always acting in a mode of goodness does not mean that you can't be firm, push back, or protect yourself. It simply means that you can do all these without harboring ill-will or negative feelings towards the other person. That, you can stand your ground politely by causing minimal to no grief to the other person. You will be amazed how easy it is to be good and yet be firm by being polite.
To respond in kind or to act in a way so you teach the other person a lesson, that's easy. It's tempting even. But, to hold your ground and walk the path of goodness in a sage-like manner requires a commitment to yourself. A commitment you can only keep when you are not just aware of your thoughts and emotions but are able to regulate them as well.
Life's greatest lessons are imparted to us through difficult people. Adversities strengthen us, challenges force us to elevate ourselves. Painful experiences are almost always transformational for they are capable of bringing out the worst or the best in us. Either way, you discover something more about you.
The moment you get in touch with yourself and find your spiritual footing, you will no longer have the question that how should you have acted? Thereafter, when squeezed, goodness will drip from you like honey from a hive.
Like Knudsen, you'll surprise people with your inherent goodness then. When they'll ask you that how can you be the way you are, you will have no other response than What else could I have done?
