    TEA TIME · A SENSE OF CLASS TWO PARTNERS, ONE GOAL: As a standard bearer and premium brand in the hotel and catering industry, Tafelstern is joining forces with the renowned Ronnefeldt tea house to introduce a unique new tea service. Ronnefeldt’s exquisite teas have earned the firm a reputation which is synonymous with top quality in the hotel and catering business. Our new, modern interpretation of tea culture is called Teatime. This tea service successfully combines classic understatement with a modern aesthetic. Its clear communication of form and subtle detail are hard to resist. The central feature is the teapot, for loose leaf tea as well as for the practical “tea caddies” (special tea bags). Available in two sizes, it makes serving good tea simple. For the 0.4 litre pot one can use a “tea caddy”, or two teaspoons of loose tea in a concealed tea strainer. Simply double these quantities for the larger 0.8 litre teapot. LOTS OF SPACE FOR FLAVOUR TO FLOW Tea needs careful preparation and space for the flavours to flow. The tea strainer designed by Tafelstern and Ronnefeldt fits both sizes of teapot, allowing even large tea leaves to be steeped to maximum effect. This is the only way for them to fully develop a rounded, original flavour. A ground-breaking system. Tea is the queen of he who would be king! (from Ireland) Alongside the visual appeal of the teapot, there is the eye-catching teacup, with classic yet modern grace, and two varieties of saucer. These make an excellent combination with items from Coffeelings or Relation Today, such as plates, milk jugs or sugar bowls.

Furthermore, I find it interesting to read a German text as well as its English translation and compare how the original and the translation express the same story. As a double major in German and Linguistics, I have learned a lot about the structure of language and crosslinguistic differences that make each language unique. Translation was the perfect way to engage creatively with each language and its unique linguistic features. Moreover, since literary works are not only concerned with linguistic creativity but also reflect the culture of the respective linguistic community, translation is an important facet of cross-cultural communication.

  • Aruba Book 2 Final.Pub
    The first night of leisure time I had in Aruba was a disappointment compared to what I imagined the exotic locale should offer. They cancelled the planned party at the club, and I was determined to find where things were happening on the social scene. Unfortunately everything was very subdued on that particular evening. SHIPS TRAVELED I sailed to Aruba on the Esso Bolivar once and the S.S. Chattanooga a couple of times. Savanna, Georgia was the home town of the Captain of the Chattanooga. He became a very good friend of my wife and me. His third mate, Calidino, from Passaic, New Jersey, was also a good buddy. Calidino later sailed to the Far East, bringing us an exquisite Oriental vase when he returned. JOB ASSIGNMENT I was hired as an instrument mechanic specifically for the study they were making on the temperature difference between a bare thermocouple and a shielded (or protected) thermocouple in the roof and wall tubes of the cracking plant furnaces. The shielding was actually a special stainless steel tubing to protect a thermocouple on the surface of a furnace tube from the high operating temperatures. The thermocouples used were made of two lengths of 12 gauge wire of metal alloys each of the two wires made to different specifications. For example the thermocouple used for temperatures up to 1400 degrees Fahrenheit was made with one iron wire and one Constantan. Different alloys of wire were used for different applications. The heat sensing end of the two temperature sensing wires were carefully twisted together using a special jig to make a solid mechanical contact.
