			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Time has come when no individual instrumental method is desirable as it discharges and utilizes resources manifolds. So multipurpose and time savvy skill must be streamlined to not only saving but to fascinate and to imbibe learning potential in young minds. Adequate attention must be paid and cognizance of laboratory discharges must be taken into account and must be correlated to pollution and to cause global warming. Cleaning much glassware and drying in oven discharge millions of kilocalories along at a time manufacture where many gases are burnt and released whole heat to environment. Running of laboratory for many hours for individual instruments set up require much electricity etc. currently water vapors and CO2 gases do cause global warming. Many laboratory effluents are discharged hence a beginning must be made in this direction and be promoted for laboratory uses. For econoburette uses 95% chemical in titration and survismeter also uses 95% less laboratory infrastructure for characterization industrial products cosmetics, polymers and oils, coating, paints and pigments.  It is my pleasure to bring to a notice of all my friends and respected teachers about Indian inventions for laboratory purpose which is patented with Singapore and India Govts. This equipment commercialized as Mansingh survismeter marks a quantum leap in development of instruments to cop up needs of 21st century science. I came across these inventions thru internet sites and Spectro analytical Pvt Ltd, New Delhi. Of course this advancement is on the line of nanotechnology and multipurpose. This is a boon to students who perform chemistry experiments for learning and testing purposes. All undergraduate science students are familiar with measurement surface tension, interfacial tension, viscosity, wetting coefficient etc for formulation and quality control of cosmetics, sol-gels, inks, soap-detergents, paint removers, pharmaceuticals etc. Such measurements are being measured with individual instruments in all laboratories. A standard method for surface Tension measurement is with Stalgmometer and Ostwald Viscometer for the viscosity. This practice is for centuries with much resource wastes and pollution and is not efficient with many in-built deficiencies. Now Survismeter has many advantages over obsolete technology in context of efficiency, less time consuming, easy to operate, protects the health of one and all. Accuracy has been certified by National Physical Laboratory, and can be used for volatile, inflammable, carcinogenic solvents at any desirable temperature. </p>
<p>Survismeter is noted as a noble “Research Work of a 21st Century” by eminent scientists and researchers. This instrument promotes safer science and economy. Spectro Analytical Equip Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi-110020, has commercialized for sale. The survismeter is being tried to determine electronic demonstrations like effect of shared electron pair, nonbonding electron and shift of electron pairs due to electronegativity. Thus such advance devices support a concept of green globe. This article is written by Mr. Vinod Kumar, Research Scholar, Chemistry. Email contact: kumarvinod_sing@yahoo.co.in. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone who has ever watched TV has seen infomercials.  These programs that can be as short as thirty seconds, or as long as a half an hour, which tell us the amazing features and benefits of products that we simply must have.  A common theme of infomercials are amazing weight loss programs.  People come on the programs that were once as large as killer whales, who have lost hundreds of pounds, and show us there mammoth old blue jeans.  “This is the program that gave me results,” is a familiar catch phrase from these testimonials.  Simple logic would tell us, if it worked for them then it will work for me.  Yet, studies have shown that infomercial diets don’t produce results, and surprisingly will actually lead in most cases to increased weight gain.  The problem is weight loss takes work, and commitment.  No simple twenty minute program alone will give anyone the true results that they want.  When trying to make weight loss goals and creating programs for yourself there are three important core principles to consider. Nutrition – In the fight against weight loss nutrition is the key element to winning the war.  A person can exercise like a fanatic, but they won’t see results until they control their diet.  When constructing a diet for weight loss you shouldn’t think of it as a diet.  A short term change of eating that will end once you reach a desired weight.   Diets have a low success rate, because people usually put back on the weight they lost when they go back to their old eating habits.  The better solution is to construct a meal schedule that will provide a change in the overall eating habits.  Help yourself to make smart meal decisions.  Learn how to prepare healthy foods.  Find meals that are delicious, filling, and healthy.  It will take a little time, but through a change in diet will come the biggest weight loss rewards. Exercise – While nutrition is important, exercise will speed the weight loss process up considerably.  The best way to lose weight is to have your body burning the most calories possible.  Through the creation of lean muscle the body is burning large amounts of calories.  Even when you are sleeping or just idle your body will still be hard at work crunching calories and creating lean muscle.  The best way to create lean muscle is to have a good weight training program.  Cardiovascular exercise is important, and will help to strengthen the heart.  Yet, a good mixture of cardio exercise and weight training will burn the most calories and give maximum results. Vitamins and Supplements – Through a healthy eating plan, and increased exercise people will start to see weight loss results.  Vitamins and supplements are a way to help boast the effectiveness of you nutritional and workout plans.  No matter how good a dietary plan is there will always be some elements missing from it, which your body will require to function correctly.  A good multivitamin will help to keep your body running in top form, and will prevent illnesses which could hamper weight loss goals.  Whey Protein is another valuable tool in weight loss.  Protein is the building block of lean muscle.  Adding more protein to your diet will allow your body to build more lean muscle, which will lead to more overall weight loss.  Whey protein is dairy based so it is easy to digest, and it contains a higher percentage of protein than soy based mixtures.  Supplementing your diet with good multivitamins and whey protein will fill in the gaps in your diet.  It will also boast the calories that your body is burning.   Weight loss is possible.  It is important to find a program that will work for your schedule.  That program should include the major elements of nutrition, exercise, and vitamins and supplements.  Through these principles you can reach your weight loss goals. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Where in the Caribbean can you get the most for your money? </p>
<p>David Seeberger: Some people have the mistaken impression that the Caribbean is only for the luxury traveler.  There are nice moderate accommodations on almost every island in the Caribbean basin.  The Dominican Republic has several all-inclusive properties that are a good value. The Caribbean has lots of all-inclusive resorts (and not just the heavily-marketed resort chains), which for the budget traveler often provides more bang for the buck. </p>
<p>Jamaica and Puerto Rico are known as having good values for the budget traveler.  The Caribbean is a very complex market compared to many other destinations, and while it&#8217;s easy for any agent to book resorts in the Caribbean, you&#8217;ll usually find that a specialist with a thorough background in the Caribbean can find you a better and more memorable experience for your money. </p>
<p>When is the best time to go to the Caribbean? </p>
<p>David: The Caribbean has become a year round vacation destination.  The peak travel season is December to March. This time frame has the highest prices and coincides with the worst weather back here in the mainland US. </p>
<p>The official Caribbean hurricane season is June 1 to November 30.  Many resorts offer hurricane rebate guarantees and many tour operators require travel insurance purchase during this time.  The travel insurance will insure refund in the rare reality of a hurricane hitting your destination during that time.  Your travel agent will have the most up to dated travel protection ideas for your vacation. Many travelers don&#8217;t realize how massive the Caribbean region is, and it is highly unlikely that a single hurricane will affect devastatingly a large area of the Caribbean.  If a hurricane is headed to your vacation island, the airlines will generally suspend additional travel to the area and evacuate as many vacationers as possible before the hurricane arrives. </p>
<p>If you&#8217;re going to be honeymooning during hurricane season, and can&#8217;t take the chance of being visited by a hurricane on your vacation, there are some wonderful islands like Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao which lay beneath the traditional hurricane belt, and are rarely if ever touched by hurricanes. </p>
<p>Best rates for travel generally occur during the low season, but some properties close some of their facilities during that season. Working with an agent who specializes in the Caribbean will help you pick accommodations that will provide the best experience for your holiday.  Legend has it that &#8220;once you visit the Caribbean, you will return again and again.&#8221; </p>
<p>Do you have any favorite &#8220;hidden gems&#8221; in the Caribbean? </p>
<p>David: Hidden gems exist all through the Caribbean.  Some of my moderate favorites include the Bucuti Beach hotel in Aruba.  Below the hurricane belt in Aruba, this hidden boutique hotel jewel is family run and has the widest sand beach in Aruba.  </p>
<p>Another moderate hotel that helps you get much value for the dollar, is booking the Comfort Suites in Paradise Island.  If you stay at this hotel adjacent to Atlantis Resort and Casino, you get to use the facilities of the amazing Atlantis. </p>
<p>Anguilla is one of the most popular islands for celebrity watching now. One of my favorite moderate hotels is on that island.  At only 35 rooms The Anguilla Great House Beach Resort is a good value.  All the rooms have a nice view of the Caribbean Sea and it&#8217;s a great spot for romance. </p>
<p>My current favorite world-class property in the Caribbean is the Four Seasons Resort on Nevis. Although it is a little bigger at 196 rooms, it is still a low-rise resort, and is small enough to still feel intimate and pampered. It has one of the Caribbean&#8217;s largest sports facilities and one of its best golf courses. </p>
<p>If you want to splurge a little, two of my favorites for romance are both intimate properties.  The Horned Dorset Primavera in Puerto Rico is considered to be the most elegant, romantic inn in Puerto Rico, with private plunge pools and tubs for two. I also love the small Anse Chastanet on St. Lucia.  Some of the plantation villa style rooms have one wall missing, opening to a freshwater pool, helping the lucky guest become closer to nature. </p>
<p>What makes the Caribbean a special destination when compared to Mexico or Hawaii? </p>
<p>David: The most important difference is air distance. Clients just don&#8217;t want to fly as far as they used to. The natural travel market for the Caribbean region is the midwest and east coast of the U.S.  The southern states&#8217; natural travel market is Mexico, while the west coast loves to visit Hawaii. </p>
<p>Like Mexico and Hawaii, the Caribbean is predominately known as a sun and sand destination.  The Caribbean provides a close-by destination to experience different cultures, history, countries, and sometimes even different languages&#8211;although in most destinations English speakers are easy to find.  The Caribbean has a wider selection of accommodations to choose from, compared to Hawaii or Mexico.  They range from small guesthouses, to moderate and world-class all-inclusive resorts, to world-class best-of-the-best luxury villas.  The Caribbean also provides more gaming and duty free shopping opportunities then Hawaii or Mexico. </p>
<p>Where do celebrities like to stay? </p>
<p>David: Celebrities flock to the Caribbean for the same reasons we all do- SUN, SAND, RELAXATION AND RENEWAL. Many celebrities have homes in the Caribbean.  Some of the more recent celebrity hangouts include St. John where Kenny Chesney makes his home. Another popular celebrity hangout is at Paradise Island in the Bahamas where Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods and many other celebrities have homes. </p>
<p>Anguilla contains the Cap Juluca resort, a 179-acre celebrity favorite. It is a dramatic, white Moorish-style resort totally devoted to romance and luxury.  Sandy Lane in Barbados is also known for its celebrity clientele.  Tiger Woods rented the entire hotel in 2004 for his wedding.  </p>
<p>Current hot celebrity island destinations include St. Barts, often referred by Hollywood as St. Tropez in the Caribbean.  David Letterman, Uma Thurman and many others favor St. Barts. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>August 24, in Nanjing, China Telecom, &#8220;Tianyi 3G phone orders will&#8221;, the first time explicitly RIM in Canada and the United States will work with the two major smartphone manufacturer Palm co-operation. </p>
<p>This means that telecom users will be expected to spend rage in North America, BlackBerry and Palm handsets. Thus, in addition to part of the Japanese brands, the world&#8217;s front-line mobile phone makers to enter China 3G market, have been identified. </p>
<p>&#8220;Star Cell Phone&#8221; played during the year </p>
<p>According to Analysys International&#8217;s market monitoring report, the second quarter of this year, Telecom, Mobile and China Unicom were 131,000 sales of 3G mobile phones, 64000, and 47000, and only 3 of the total market share, equivalent to 0.7%. 3G market, poor performance prompted the three major operators, with the major terminal manufacturers to speed up the process of cooperation in order to strengthen their 3G mobile phone camp. </p>
<p>China Mobile betting that mobile phones running Android operating system 3GOPhone, in addition to Lenovo&#8217;s first listing of OPhone soon, the move also &#8220;draw&#8221; HTC HTC for the production of a variety of TD-SCDMA mobile phones. An atmosphere of urgency in the market, China Unicom with Apple&#8217;s announcement to enter the end of marathon negotiations, allegedly a three-year exclusive agreement was announced. </p>
<p>Despite the momentum of a very fierce competitor, but China Telecom puts the introduction of RIM and Palm both in one fell swoop, &#8220;Jiang Yuan.&#8221; RIM shares rose recently, RIM&#8217;s BlackBerry business phones in the U.S. market share of over 50% of the company&#8217;s value has more than 430 billion U.S. dollars, approaching 49 billion U.S. dollars market value of the industry&#8217;s top spot Nokia. The source told this reporter, RIM president of China, Zheng-Yu Liu has privately said that because of successful negotiations with China Telecom, so &#8220;telecom Edition&#8221; BlackBerry will soon be available in the fourth quarter of this year. </p>
<p>The Palm and the carriers Sprint in the U.S. market with deep feeling of cooperation Gengrang China Telecom, the two partners, the weak market share by &#8220;Star Mobile&#8221; PalmPre to launch a comeback. PalmPre listed 10 days or sell at least 10 million units, the data show, in which 1 / 3 of people are the original non-Sprint customers, this is what most want to see China Telecom. </p>
<p>The world not just the iPhone </p>
<p>&#8220;Creating EVDO iconic products&#8221; is China Telecom claims that one of the terminal development of three major objectives, and this task will obviously fall into the head of RIM and Palm. Deputy General Manager of China Telecom terminal MA Wu Tianyi, &#8220;said China Telecom will strengthen Canada&#8217;s RIM and Palm&#8217;s U.S. smartphone makers such as cooperation, joint effort to build part of China 3G, EVDO star product.&#8221; </p>
<p>Reporter learned from China&#8217;s internal telecommunications, RIM&#8217;s BlackBerry Storm9530 &#8211; is now available of the most high-end BlackBerry EVDO, and nicknamed &#8220;pear fat&#8221; in PalmPre &#8211; the same efforts to build a star Palm models, will become China Telecom &#8220;star Strategy &#8220;the important pieces. </p>
<p>&#8220;With the cooperation of China Unicom and iPhone than I am more optimistic about the marriage of China Telecom and RIM.&#8221; Wedge-MKI-known research institutions, senior research fellow, said Zhang, solely from the terminal point of view, iPhone does not support the lack of MMS, etc. will likely affect the enthusiasm of users in China, while China Telecom, the telecom market in the enterprise-class deep resources and the BlackBerry&#8217;s business location is fitting, there is much room for imagination. </p>
<p>However, Analysys International, Senior Vice President Zhang Ying reminders, blackberry, PalmPre such as product positioning and the iPhone&#8217;s cool style is completely different BlackBerry emphasize simplicity, efficiency and resource utilization. &#8220;Star phone&#8221; does not necessarily have to big to play fashion, in fact, BlackBerry practical, efficient also in the United States created a pop. </p>
<p>Zhang Ying further explained that, from the current BlackBerry sales in China&#8217;s gray market of view, &#8220;there are some office applications, stable and reliable is the buyer&#8217;s main demands, rational distribution of individuals and product lines between government and enterprises to develop competitive price strategy is to consider the issue of China Telecom. &#8221; </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How would you like to lose 18 pounds in less than 3 weeks naturally, easily, and permanently? Well, take just a quick 60 seconds out of your busy day to read this article here and discover the most effective diet too quickly and permanently lose weight fast! </p>
<p>Okay my friend, if you want to lose a lot of weight quickly, the very first principle you have to understand is that you must stick with natural methods. Therefore, do your body a favor and stay away from fad diets. Fad diets are unnatural and will end up slowing down your metabolism! A slow metabolism = stored body fat and &#8220;yo-yo weight loss&#8221;! </p>
<p>Now, the most effective diet that I have found throughout my research is the calorie shifting diet from Fat Loss 4 Idiots. </p>
<p>The reason the calorie shifting diet works wonders at making faster and more consistent fat loss possible is simply because this diet is based around getting proper nutrition and boosting your metabolism. </p>
<p>With the calorie shifting diet, you will will receive a diet generator that will create a custom menu plan of four meals you&#8217;ll eat daily. Now, what makes this diet unique and incredibly effective is the &#8220;shifting&#8221; technique you will discover. By using this &#8220;shifting&#8221; technique, you will discover how to strategically alternate the calories from the foods you eat which will then cause your metabolism to boost to the maximum level possible. With your metabolism running full speed ahead throughout the entire day, you will lose pounds exceedingly fast&#8230;throughout the entire day! </p>
<p>So, if you want to lose 18 pounds in less than 3 weeks from today naturally, easily, and permanently, then I recommend you try out the calorie shifting diet. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever heard of the famous Professor Wangari Maathai? She is a Nobel Peace Price Laureate, the Member of Parliament for Tetu Constituency, the founder and leader of the Green Belt Movement. With so many attributes to her name, she is the so down to earth Lady that you may not pick up from the large crowds she pulls campaigning for the conservation of the environment both Globally and in Kenya, where she was born and Brought up.</p>
<p>Like in many many other countries in the world, Kenya has had its share of deforestation through illegal logging, land degradation by use rudiment ally farming practices and burning of fossil fuels leading to the Global warming threat, where the world is expected to warm up by over 2 degrees centigrade over the next 100 years. It expected that increased temperature changes could lead to drastic and erratic weather changes with some parts of the world becoming either too hot or too cold. This is going to affect food production to an ever growing population especially in the less developed African countries making human survival harder than in any other period in the history of mankind.</p>
<p>Professor Wangari Maathai has has taken the leading role in organizing communities and Non-Governmental organizations into condeming land grabbing, degazettement of forest land and illegal logging, through her Green Belt movement. Many youth groups and women organizations have taken the cue from her and started indigenous tree nurseries all over Kenya. These initiatives are going to change the face of Kenya, making your dreams of that coveted Safari even more interesting, imagine all the bare countryside coming to life with lush green indigenous trees that save our soils from the from raging rain waters running into the rivers that feed our National animal conservatories.</p>
<p>As a tourist in Kenya, you could get involved. Lets call it an environmental Safari. You could help plant a tree or two. Let us exchange views. What is your country doing to conserve the environment? What lessons can Kenyans learn from from your country&#8217;s&#8217; conservation efforts?  Do you have an alternative to fuel wood that 90% of Kenyans use? What will Kenya do with the menace of plastic waste management? The list is endless, but the options are there with you and the whole lot of us will appreciate.</p>
<p>Kenyans are a very hospitable people. They wil not mind to host you as a tourist as you travel to other coveted tourist destinations scattered all over the country. Talk of budget travel and you have it, it cannot come cheaper. There are many diverse tribes in Kenya and you are sure to be treated to the many traditional cuisine that are prepared in the countryside. You will also be treated to the many cultural events, unique to each cultural group. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people believe that someone who promotes nothing but affiliate products on a website is just running a money maker, not a true Internet business.  In this article, we will discuss the pros and cons of affiliate marketing, and also shed some light on the whole debate over whether running a website promoting nothing but affiliate products means that your site is JUST a money maker.</p>
<p>Affiliate Marketing Pros</p>
<p>There are many benefits to adding affiliate marketing to your online business plan. Some perks of promoting other people&#8217;s products and services include the following:</p>
<p>- No need to create your own products</p>
<p>- No need to ship out products</p>
<p>- No need to spend money: 99.9% of affiliate programs are free to join</p>
<p>- No need to handle customer support</p>
<p>- No need to provide your own services</p>
<p>Affiliate Marketing Cons</p>
<p>Of course, promoting other people&#8217;s products and services does come with some drawbacks. Here are some points against adding affiliate marketing to your online business plan:</p>
<p>- You would basically need to test out each affiliate&#8217;s products and services to know whether they are actually good.  Otherwise, if you promote a horrible product or service, your website visitors won&#8217;t trust you anymore.</p>
<p>- The affiliate program you are promoting may shut down, leaving you with no more chances to earn commissions.</p>
<p>The Great Debate</p>
<p>Now that we&#8217;ve covered a little about the pros and cons of affiliate marketing, let&#8217;s talk about whether affiliate marketing is indeed a real Internet business.  While many would say affiliate marketing is just a money making gig, others would honestly say that it&#8217;s a real Internet business. Take, for example, a well -known Affiliate Marketer, Rosalind Gardner. Rosalind Gardner has made more than $500,000-plus per year simply by promoting other people&#8217;s stuff. Some people would just die to earn $200,000 or even less per year.  I bet if you asked Rosalind whether she believes affiliate marketing to be a true Internet business, she&#8217;d answer yes.</p>
<p>It really just depends on how much your online business depends on affiliate marketing. For example, let&#8217;s say you ONLY promote affiliate products, and you do earn a handsome income from it, what would happen if 85% of your affiliate programs closed their virtual doors? That would basically mean that 85% of your online income has gone down the tubes. It&#8217;s not really sounding so much like a real Internet business if you look at it that way, is it?</p>
<p>On the other hand, what if you promoted other people&#8217;s products and services AND added tons of your own to your website? It means that you have COMPLETE CONTROL over your online business, because you won&#8217;t be shutting down anytime soon, unless you want to. Thus you really should consider having your own products and services AND promoting other people&#8217;s products to get the maximum earning potential from your online business. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are like so many others currently battling the bulge, there are measures you can take to make your own weight loss journey successful. What separates the losers from the ones that are constantly on a weight loss roller coaster is how they go about doing it and how they then keep the weight off.  The trick to any weight loss plan is consistency and also being privy to information. Sadly many people are misinformed as to different weight loss pills, the amount of calories present in their foods, and what constitutes a regular exercise routine. Knowledge is the first powerful tool, but second to that is the right weight loss supplement and that is the Slimwieight Patch. The Slim Weight Hoodia Patch is a revolutionary new weight loss remedy in that instead of being orally ingested like the others it is applied directly to your skin. This allows the maximum amount of its ingredients to be absorbed by the skin, enter the blood stream, and then send your metabolism soaring. The fact of the matter is that standard weight loss pills that must pass through the stomach, liver, and digestive tract lose up to 95 percent of their effectiveness. This is all avoided with the Slim Weight Hoodia Patch.  This patch boosts your metabolism naturally by signalling the thyroid to do so, as it is the gland in charge of regulating your metabolism; it will also naturally decreasing your appetite. This will then make it possible for you to resist any temptations and anything that you do eat will make you feel fuller with less food. While it is not necessary to make any changes to your diet with the Slim Weight Hoodia Patch in order to quickly lose weight, but you can help the process along by doing a few alterations on your part. Exercise is always an effective way to add to the amount of calories your body burns through in a day. You can do that by getting calorie blasting cardio activity such as running, biking, or swimming that will get your heart pumping and muscles working but if you aren&#8217;t able to fit that in even going for a walk will help. You can also increase the amount of muscle tissue in your body through strength training moves and lifting weights. Muscle burns significantly more fat and calories each day than an equal amount of fatty tissue, so the more muscle you have on your body the more calories you will burn throughout the day, even when you are at rest or asleep.  Finally with the Slimwieght Patch you will be free to eat as you please, but because of the appetite suppressant effects you will feel fuller off of less food. You should try to still stick to a generally healthy diet that is low in saturated fats, but with the patch you can guiltlessly indulges in a few cheats without putting on the pounds.  Also you can help increase the effectiveness of the patch by drinking at least eight cups of water a day which will keep you both hydrated and able to flush out the toxins that the patch will be evicting from your body. With the help of the Slim Weight Hoodia Patch you can be a weight loss winner and achieve the body that you have always dreamed of. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From time to time I’ve been asked the question “I’d love to own a l boat, is it hard to build one?”  It’s really surprising the looks of doubt when I answer, “No, no, no!  If you know what to do and you’re willing to invest a little time you can do it easily!”  The next questions that usually follow are “How much time?” and “How much will it cost?”  Well, generally speaking, that really is the “How long is a piece of string question!” and it can vary quite a bit.</p>
<p>People differ of course, and what may take two or three weekends for one may painstakingly for others, take a couple of months.  The short answer is, “It depends how fast you work, but two or three weekends should be average at a rough guess.” In 1998 the Wooden Boat Association chose a Dolphin 16 to construct at the &#8216;Down by the River Festival&#8217; at Brisbane.  In spite of several cases of VB&#8217;s the boys managed to build a 16&#8242; Dolphin (non sailing version) in two afternoons and present it to a lucky prizewinner.</p>
<p>HOW MUCH? </p>
<p>Once again, quite tricky, some folks will splash out on camel hair paintbrushes and six pairs of throwaway overalls and new gloves… already they’ve spent thirty odd dollars more than the next chap who still has his fist wrapped around his dollars. For the average homebuilder they should be able to construct this boat for approximately $700.00 to $1000.00, if they don’t take into account their own time.  Thirty to forty hours labour should be sufficient to complete this project to a reasonable standard.  Remember, cost for materials vary greatly all over the country and this must be taken into consideration!</p>
<p>WHAT SORT OF BOAT IS THIS?</p>
<p>The DOLPHIN 12 </p>
<p>Firstly, it’s a simple composite epoxy and glass ply boat, just under twelve feet by six feet in beam, big enough for a couple of adults and a motor roughly up to five to seven hp.  It’s stable, open, has a couple of seats and will take inshore waters in its stride.  I prefer to think of it as an open family/fishing craft that can be used in rivers, estuaries and lakes. </p>
<p>The DOLPHIN 16…POWER AND SAILING VERSIONS</p>
<p>This is basically the same as the 12 but is made of 4.5 sheets of 6mm ply and is strengthened more for the sailing version by way of extra glass in the chainplate areas and longitudinal stringers for the floors.  There are three rigs to choose from.  The &#8216;Batwing Gunter Rig&#8217;, the &#8216;Balanced Lug Sail&#8217; or the &#8216;Standing Lug Rig&#8217;.  See diagrams.  In addition, the sailing version has a 10&#8242; x 10&#8243; keel that is ballasted by the inclusion of two 35 kilo lead ingots glassed into the keel during construction.  Also, there is a rudder constructed of Oregon, coated in glass. Please note that a simpler plywood and glass version can also be built if required.  The mast is a solid Oregon piece 12&#8242; with an 8&#8242; spar for the standing lug rig version.</p>
<p>THE DOLPHIN 19 KETCH </p>
<p>The 19 foot Ketch is the latest addition to the fleet. She also is a frameless boat, an extended Dolphin 16 with a couple of additions. The dimensions are 19 foot by six foot beam and she has a 20 inch freeboard but this can be extended to 22 inches at the expense of the sheer line curve. There is a 5 foot foredeck that leads back to the main mast. This mast is situated immediately behind the bulkhead that the deck itself sits on. There is ample storage under this deck for extra flotation or gear storage as required. Entrance to this area is through the cutout in the bulkhead.</p>
<p>The craft has the choice of two keel configurations, an eighteen inch keel or a twelve inch keel depth that runs approx. two thirds along the boat’s length. This is constructed from solid Oregon and provides the strong backbone needed for the frameless design. There is also provision for twin bilge keels that allow easy beaching and use of a slightly more shallow keel, around 9/10 inches. Ballast for the boat is four lead ingots that are built into the keel itself and is approximately 150 lbs in weight. It is envisaged that the boat, ballasted, should be in the area of some 450 lbs (210 kgs) unloaded.</p>
<p>The rig is a twin mast Ketch configuration with a jib area of 19 square feet, the mainsail, 56.5 sq. feet and the mizzen mast, 24 sq. feet in area. This is approx 100 sq. feet total sail area. The rig is a standing lug, boomless with a top spar approximately eight feet long. A gaff rig is also possible for this boat, in fact the first Dolphin 19 customer in South Australia has opted for this rig. The craft is designed to sail with jib and mizzen alone and should provide much more room aboard in this configuration. For any prolonged jib/mizzen configuration a slightly larger jib area would provide better sail balance and power.</p>
<p>The twin masts are either clear Oregon or clear spruce but the spruce alternative would be fairly expensive! They are planed round from four inch square stock and are quick to make if an electric planer is used. They are soaked in epoxy and then finished in anti ultra violet varnish to prevent ‘milking’ of the epoxy. An unusual feature of this design is the twin galvanized wire stays on each mast. This gives a traditional look but also adds a significant safety factor. The solid Oregon chain plates, placed outboard of the hull provide an attractive old fashioned classic look to this very versatile little sailing craft.</p>
<p>As with all the Dolphin range the hull is beamy and commences with a vee sectioned bow that falls away to a flatter 7 degree hull bottom to provide plenty of beam stability. There is no floor in this design but that is not to say that one could not be easily added if required. The primary reason for not including a floor in the original design was for access to the bilge area for cleaning and to prevent water lying in the boat unseen, a primary cause of damage in boats left unattended for a while.</p>
<p>The boat is designed to take an outboard engine (10-12 hp approx) that could be attached to the transom with an outboard bracket but it is possible to fit an inboard if required. This necessitates the addition of engine beds and a floor and was omitted really because of the extra time and labour required to install.</p>
<p>This craft was designed with intention to provide a versatile easy to build ‘proper little boat’ for the owner that would like a boat that is a ‘no fuss’ design that can be built using very simple, easy build techniques that really do away with excess build times. There is nothing more frustrating than hacking way for weeks building complicated frames that must interlock with sophisticated “mortise and tenon joints” and the like, requiring quite advanced woodworking skills that are generally just a bit beyond the average D.I.Y. chap. If you can use a jig saw, tape measure and a sanding machine and mix up epoxy glue, the Dolphin 19 will be an easy project for you. Don’t forget that we are only a phone call away and pride ourselves in our after sales ‘help line’ that is available for advice and help anytime during normal hours!!</p>
<p>The Dolphin 19, with its simple, two page A1 plan and instruction book does away with the need for tiresome lofting and calculations normally required. It really is more like a simple case of  ‘join the dots’ building that the Dolphins are becoming well known for. A hundred and fifty owners can’t all be wrong!!</p>
<p>WHAT SORT OF CONSTRUCTION IS IT?</p>
<p>Basically, the 12 footer is built from three sheets and a half sheets of 1220 x 2440 6mm plywood and the 16 footer from four and a half sheets of 1220 x 2440 6mm plywood and the 19 foot Ketch, six sheets of 1220 x 2440.  They are built using a simple &#8217;stitch and glue&#8217; method using epoxy resin glue thickened with Q-Cells or Microspheres and then layered on the outside with a strong layer of 300 gm biaxial glass cloth and epoxy resin. The instructions contained in the plan fully detail to the last degree every technique that will be needed to build these boats.  The plans, known as the &#8216;easybuild&#8217; method requires no complicated lofting but a very simple &#8216;join the dots&#8217; method that can be drawn directly onto the ply.  For example, the whole boat (a 12) can be drawn up in one afternoon and all the shapes cut out. The finished weight, minus motor, is approximately thirty odd kilos depending on the weight of ply, epoxy and glass that you use.  The transom is a single piece of ply approximately 20mm in width.  Built with these composite materials, it’s strong, tough, extremely light and with care will last for years.</p>
<p>SAILS AND SAILING GEAR</p>
<p>All dimensions for the above gear are supplied with the plan and all equipment is available from any local chandlers.  The gear required is simple, cheap and easy to build for a first time builder.  </p>
<p>WHAT TOOLS WILL I NEED?</p>
<p>Not many. A jigsaw, clamps, an orbital sander, a drill and perhaps an electric planer and a belt sander with a few assorted grade belts would be handy!</p>
<p>Materials &#8211; 4 sheets ply for 12&#8242;…4.5 sheets for 16&#8242;…6 sheets ply for 19’</p>
<p>Plywood sheets 1220mm x 2440mm ply, suitable for boatbuilding.  There are many and various makes and grades and I’ll not enter into that can of worms, suffice to say that with the use of epoxy composites you will not be restricted necessarily to ‘marine ply’. Exterior ply treated properly will last for many years.</p>
<p>1 piece 15mm ply 3’ x 6’. </p>
<p>Approximately 6 metres 300gm bi-axial fibreglass cloth. </p>
<p>12 litres Epoxy resin. </p>
<p>Q-Cells or Microspheres. </p>
<p>Various assorted widths of Hoop Pine or Meranti 40mm x 10mm for rubbing strakes. </p>
<p>1 roll of glass tape, approximately 4” wide. </p>
<p>Copper wire or electrical ties. </p>
<p>Several polystyrene fruit boxes.</p>
<p>Twenty or thirty 10 x 40 clipboard screws (for temporary holding purposes). </p>
<p>1 litre Epoxy primer.</p>
<p>1 litre gloss enamel. </p>
<p>Several long, thin battens for curves, approximately 15’</p>
<p>Materials required for the sails and sailing gear will be listed in the plans and can be varied if required upon advice from your rigger or sail maker.</p>
