Durex is the trademarked name for a range of condoms made by British company SSL International.
The name, which the London Rubber Company trademarked in 1929, is a portmanteau of "Durability, Reliability, and Excellence", though some people mistake it as being "Durable Latex" or "During Sex".
Durex condoms represent around one quarter of the global market for prophylactic sheaths, manufacturing around one billion units per year in 17 factories worldwide.[citation needed] Durex condoms are the most popular brand of condoms in the UK.[citation needed] The Durex range includes nine varieties of latex condom, including the Sheik and Ramses brands popular for decades in North America, and the Avanti condom, the first male condom made from polyurethane. Polyurethane condoms do not suffer from "latex rot", and are suited for users who have an allergic reaction to latex (a common occurrence and one which until now had not been responded to). In August 2007, Durex announced that it expected to launch a new line of condoms that will help men get a firmer erection and increase penis size. The condoms will contain a gel in the tip that dilates arteries and increases blood flow to the penis. Durex condoms was declared the runner-up of the most account sales of condoms in the United States, with Trojan condoms being #1.

Postcard: 2008 AFS Aquathon Fundraising Race
Blame it on the San Diego Track Club which in 1974 held the world's first triathlon event on Fiesta Island, a bad-smelling stretch of sand located at the east end of San Diego's Mission Bay. Everyone else does!Triathlon is an inelegant name for an event which comprises three (no surprise there) athletic disciplines all rolled into one. Of course, the founders of this sport could have taken three of the track & field events which make up the pentathlon, heptathlon or decathlon. But no, that would have been tooconventional for the San Diego Track Club. So, instead of (perhaps) throwing a javelin, then running 400 meters and finally doing the long jump, we test our upper and lower bodies rather differently. SWIM - For many people this is the most daunting bit, since most triathlons are held in open water where visibility is often poor, there are no black lines along the bottom and close-quarters swimming can be terrifying. Longer-distance swims can result in huge losses in body heat and purpose-made wetsuits are now common. The best swimmers complain that the swim element of the overall distance is too short, since they are invariably caught by the rest of the field as the race goes on. BIKE - The great thing about riding a bike is that it's fun! Well, we remember it that way since we werekids, right? But training for a specific distance is somehow not the same. Most of us survive - even enjoy - our first triathlon riding the kind of machine we would have ridden at college, or even a mountain bike. But swapping that comfort for the speed and lightweight features of road racing tyres has its cost. A literal pain in the bum. Most often-heard muttering after a 7-hour bike leg for one's first Ironman "Keep the damn thing - I don't ever want to see it again!”" RUN - That most natural form of human motion, running, turns into a real challenge in the triathlon. Why? Because even the best runners never forget that awful trussed-up like a turkey feeling in their quads when they finally get to dismount the bike and begin running. "What happened to my legs?" And you know what? They spend the rest of their training days trying to find the answer.

Postcard: I am proud that I can support my family through FAIR TRADE
Fair Trade is an organized social movement and market-based approach that aims to help producers in developing countries obtain better trading conditions and promote sustainability. The movement advocates the payment of a higher price to producers as well as social and environmental standards. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries, most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine, fresh fruit, chocolate and flowers. Fairtrade certified sales in 2008 amounted to approximately US$4.08 billion (€2.9) worldwide, a 22% year-to-year increase. While this represents a tiny fraction of world trade in physical merchandise, some fair trade products account for 20-50% of all sales in their product categories. In June 2008, Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International estimated that over 7.5 million producers and their families were benefiting from fair trade funded infrastructure, technical assistance and community development projects. The response to fair trade has been mixed. Fair trade's increasing popularity has drawn criticism from both ends of the political spectrum. The Adam Smith Institute sees "fair trade" as a type of subsidy or marketing ploy that impedes growth. Segments of the left, such as French author Christian Jacquiau, criticize fair trade for not adequately challenging the current trading system.

Postcard: Young Sexy Lady (Hong KOng) - 2004
The cheongsam is a body-hugging (modified in Shanghai) one-piece Chinese dress for women; the male version is the changshan. It is known in Mandarin Chinese as the qípáo Wade-Giles ch'i-p'ao, and is also known in English as a mandarin gown. The stylish and often tight-fitting cheongsam or qipao (chipao) that is most often associated with today was created in the 1920s in Shanghai and was made fashionable by socialites and upperclass women. When the Manchu ruled China during the Qing Dynasty, certain social strata emerged. Among them were the Banners (qí), mostly Manchu, who as a group were called Banner People. Manchu women typically wore a one-piece dress that came to be known as the qípáo. The qipao fitted loosely and hung straight down the body. Under the dynastic laws after 1636, all Han Chinese in the banner system were forced to wear a queue and dress in Manchurian qipao instead of traditional Han Chinese clothing, under penalty of death. (along with the July 1645 edict (the "haircutting order") that forced all adult Han Chinese men to shave the front of their heads and comb the remaining hair into a queue, on pain of death.) In the following 300 years, the qipao became the adopted clothing of the Chinese, and was eventually tailored to suit the preferences of the population. Such was its popularity that the garment form survived the political turmoil of the 1911 Xinhai Revolution that toppled the Qing Dynasty. The original qipao was wide and loose. It covered most of the woman's body, revealing only the head, hands, and the tips of the toes. The baggy nature of the clothing also served to conceal the figure of the wearer regardless of age. With time, though, the qipao were tailored to become more form fitting and revealing. The modern version, which is now recognized popularly in China as the "standard" qipao, was first developed in Shanghai after 1900, after the Qing Dynasty fell. People eagerly sought a more modernized style of dress and transformed the old qipao to suit their tastes. Slender and form fitting with a high cut, it contrasted sharply with the traditional qipao. However, it was high-class courtesans and socialites in the city that would make these redesigned tight fitting qipao popular at that time. In Shanghai it was first known as zansae or "long dress", and it is this name that survives in English as the "cheongsam". The modernized version is noted for accentuating the figures of women, and as such was popular as a dress for high society. As Western fashions changed, the basic cheongsam design changed too, introducing high-necked sleeveless dresses, bell-like sleeves, and the black lace frothing at the hem of a ball gown. By the 1940s, cheongsam came in a wide variety of fabrics with an equal variety of accessories. The 1949 Communist Revolution ended the cheongsam and other fashions in Shanghai, but the Shanghainese emigrants and refugees brought the fashion to Hong Kong where it has remained popular. Recently there has been a revival of the Shanghainese cheongsam in Shanghai and elsewhere in Mainland China; the Shanghainese style functions now mostly as a stylish party dress.

Postcard: HKDR (Hong Kong Dog Rescue) Hello, my name is Padstow
The following adoption criteria may help you decide whether you are able to adopt a dog and the type of dog you should choose. Please consider the following before thinking about adopting a dog:
•dogs are intelligent animals that have feelings and emotions as well as the obvious basic needs;
•they need your time and your commitment everyday; •not everyone's living arrangements and/or lifestyle are suitable for adopting a dog. Please think very carefully before deciding to adopt a dog and please read through the following to help you assess whether or not you are ready: Do you have enough space?
Dogs can live quite happily in apartments but you need to be realistic about the size of the home and the size of the dog. Please check that your building allows pets, particularly dogs, as many don’t. You should also check that your landlord allows dogs - we have seen many cases where the building allows dogs, but the landlord doesn't. Please ensure you have this in writing! How much exercise can you give a dog?
Do not get an active dog if you cannot give it enough exercise. Many small breeds are very energetic and require much more exercise than large or giant breeds. All dogs, regardless of size or age, need to be taken out for walks three times a day with at least one of those being a good exercise walk, that is, long enough that the dog is tired when it gets home. As a rough guide, most dogs need 45-60 minutes exercise every day.
Will the dog have company during the day? How much time do you spend away from home?
Dogs are social animals that need companionship as well as the basics like food, water and shelter. Many dogs are abandoned because of behaviour problems such as barking and being destructive, both of which are signs of boredom and loneliness. Please consider how long your dog would be left alone on a "normal day" and look for ways to reduce this time. Many people have domestic helpers who can spend time with their dog's, but you can also consider hiring a dog-walker to exercise your dog when you are away from the home. Do you have the time and patience to train a dog? HKDR wants our dogs to become a part of your life and your family and we want to ensure that you are prepared for this lifestyle change. All dogs love attention - dogs that are ignored and left to their own devices (such as being left alone all day or shut away in a room on their own) will become bored, depressed and suffer mental (and also often physical) problems. We provide training opportunities for you, your family and your dog to ensure that everyone understands what is required to make the transition as smooth as possible. Please remember that all issues can resolved with patience and understanding. Are you prepared for the mess? Dogs are dogs. They usually have fur that sheds every year. They may pick up fleas and ticks. They go to the toilet, get bad breath, wind, and all the other things that might be socially unacceptable in human company! Unlike most humans, they have no inhibitions, so you may need to be ready for this. Training for you, your family and your new dog will help everyone understand what is happening, and why!
