Some of the biggest grievances of reduced flow toilets are that there is just not sufficient drinking water in the bathroom bowl to adequately flush down the waistline. Clients complain that because of this they have to scrub these kinds of bathrooms more often than their normal 1. However, these days reduced movement toilets arrive with the option to do a fifty percent flush for liquid squander or a fuller flush for heavier squander. Another typical complaint is that these bathrooms clog more frequently than regular bathrooms do. With the newer reduced movement designs you can avoid these issues totally. My guidance is to discover a few designs that you like and then do some online study to see what other costumers are saying about the product.
There should be vents on the roof to permit air in. There should also be "traps" or S shaped pipes that permit squander to drain out, but once carried out, leave sufficient water in the pipe to form a seal. This seal is vital simply because without the drinking water seal, the smells from the sewer would flow via your home all day long. The supply and squander methods are completely independent, but there are bridges between the two recognized as "fixtures." Some common examples of fixtures are bathrooms, sinks, bathtubs, taps, washing machines, and anything else that delivers in freshwater and discharge waste water. All fixtures are designed to totally separate the provide and drainage system.

A new iPad product page at Amazon looks like a placeholder but a genuine enough placeholder to conclude that the retailer might soon begin carrying the device.
The online retail giant is jumping on the iPad bandwagon. Although the iPad didn't show up in Amazon search at press time, a dedicated page looks like the real deal. It provides scarce information about the product (they didn't even embed the iPad image) but there are options in place allowing shoppers to choose the 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB iPad and distinguish between a WiFi or WiFi+3G version.
Amazon has underscored that it wants to sell the "exciting product" but it cannot tell when it will be able to ship the gizmo:
Amazon wants to keep you informed about this exciting product. We do not know when we will be able to accept and fulfill orders. Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available.
International customers are in for an unpleasant surprise – Amazon will only ship the gadget within the US. Although the iPad is due to hit the stores April 3, the Amazon page had four "reviews" at press time that basically challenge the iPad's usability, much like your comments on our iPad coverage. For example, one reviewer wrote the following:
Why would anyone want one? I would love for my mom to be tech savvy, to be able to wipe and reinstall her system software, to backup her hard drive on a regular basis, to upgrade and install RAM into the motherboard of her computer, to run the terminal to ping IPs to see why she can't get through somewhere.
Read more at Amazon's iPad page
Christian's Opinion
Amazon has always showed love for Apple's products so there's no reason to doubt they'll be soon carrying the iPad, too. Probably not before it launches but once the iPad demand stabilizes, you should be able to shop for it on Amazon. According to an alleged Steve Jobs email leak, Apple's online and retail locations and Best Buy's brick-and-mortar stores will launch the device next Saturday. AT&T won't initially be part of the launch, the email message alleged. The carrier will probably join when a 3G model becomes available a month following the launch. That said, I expect Amazon to sell the iPad once Apple rolls out both WiFi and WiFi+3G models internationally.

This Greek yoghurt cucumber sauce goes great as a dipping sauce for meats and vegetables, as well as being a required part of a gyro, which is how I usually use it. You can buy some at the store, but it's never as good as homemade, especially if you use some real quality ingredients, like local whole milk yoghurt. I use a local farm's yoghurt, and strain it myself using a permanent coffee filter (most grocery stores carry them) and I save the whey for other uses. A food processor makes the entire process very easy, but chopping the ingredients by hand, and mixing them in a bowl isn't that much work either.

The official results of Sunday's CSBK Pro Sport Bike race have been overturned, after a formal protest.
Sunday's Pro Sport Bike race was red-flagged after an incident between leaders Sebastien Tremblay and Dylan Bauer. Tremblay and Bauer went down as Bauer tried to get inside for a pass. When all was said and done, the race was called and Tremblay was declared the winner.
This did not sit well with some viewers, who questioned how the racers who crashed out could take the top two podium spots. The next three racers in the finishing order (Tomas Casas, Will Hornblower, David McKay) protested the decision to the Motorcyclists Confederation of Canada, and the MCC's Competition Council handed down a decision last night.
After taking into consideration the CSBK officials' judgment after the incident, the MCC overruled the trackday decision and bumped Tremblay and Bauer to the back of the finishing order, meaning Casas, Hornblower and McKay are now ranked as finishers 1-2-3. This keeps Hornblower in the overall Pro Sport Bike points lead, with McKay behind him, and moves Casas up to sixth.
You can see the CSBK release regarding the MCC's decision here, and the subsequent explanation of results in the presser below:
Press release
MCC announces Pro Sport Bike appeal verdict; Casas named round two Sport Bike winner
The Motorcyclists Confederation of Canada (MCC) announced on Tuesday that the provisional results of round two's Liqui Moly Pro Sport Bike race will be overturned, with Tomas Casas now awarded the victory last Sunday from Grand Bend Motorplex.
The original ruling by Canadian Superbike Championship officials saw race leader Sebastien Tremblay awarded the win and pole-sitter Dylan Bauer finish second, despite the two being involved in a collision resulting in a red flag stoppage.
A formal, written, on-time protest was then submitted minutes after the second National race by Pro Sport Bike class front runners David MacKay, Tomas Casas and Will Hornblower. This trio opposed the at-track decision, leading to the MCC and its appeal committee deciding the fate of Sunday's race and its impact on the championship.
In a release sent to CSBK officials, their decision was announced as follows:
"After careful consideration the MCC Tribunal decided to uphold the protest and overrule the at track decision. The two riders involved in the race stopping incident (competitors who fell) positions will be placed respectively at the end of the results and all other competitors will move ahead two positions."
The ruling will mean that Tremblay and Bauer will now be officially scored as the 15th and 16th place finishers, respectively.
"The decision was not black and white," the release continues. "We do not believe that Dylan Bauer's actions were intentional, but we did feel that he was the ultimate cause of the red flag. We felt that Sebastien Tremblay was the unfortunate victim however his crash did contribute to the red flag and subsequent end of the race. Based on the rules as written, the two riders (Dylan Bauer & Sebastien Tremblay) were deemed to have caused the race stopping incident and as stated in F(7) will be placed at the back of their respective lap."
The final decision will now carry significant implications for the Sport Bike championship, with points leader Will Hornblower and current runner-up David MacKay ultimately joining the podium for the second time in as many races.
The original results would have meant an eleven-point lead for Hornblower over Tremblay; Hornblower will now instead lead MacKay by 17 points, with Tremblay sitting tied with Bauer for tenth in the championship.
Two-time defending class champion Casas will also draw back into the title hunt, as the win brings him to sixth in the overall point standings and within 14 points of the top three, as opposed to an original 29-point deficit for the Parts Canada Yamaha rider.
However, the results all but signal the end for Tremblay and his 2019 Sport Bike hopes, as the injured Turcotte Performance Kawasaki rider now finds himself 61 points behind the series lead with five races remaining.
Though nothing is confirmed, a team member had indicated that Tremblay may not finish the year in the Sport Bike category, instead electing to focus on the Mopar Pro Superbike class when again healthy.
The final revised results will shortly be found on the series official website at www.csbk.ca, as well as the updated class standings.

Animal Facts
Scientific Name
Calliarthron sp
Animal Type
converts energy from sunlight and nutrients
most articulated corallines are less than 8 inches (20.3 cm) tall; crustose corallines grow up to 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) thick
species in the family Corallinaceae
Red coralline algae can be found in most marine habitats. Articulated corallines grow mostly in low intertidal and subtidal coastal areas. Crustose corallines have been found in depths up to 500 feet.
Natural History
Since these algae deposit calcium carbonate (limestone) in most of their cell walls, red corallines have the appearance and rough texture of coral. Grazing on these calcified algae would be like eating marble, so most hungry herbivores feed elsewhere.
Coralline algae take two different forms. Articulated species grow upright and have "branches" with flexible, uncalcified joints that withstand strong water motion. Crustose species encrust mostly on rocks, although they may also grow on plants or animals. All the different kinds of crustose algae cover more surface area than any alga species in the world.
Seaweeds—like the coralline algae—live in many ocean habitats. To protect seaweed species, we must learn more about the habitats they depend on and how we can preserve and protect their ocean homes. For instance, red articulated corallines growing in intertidal zones are vulnerable to trampling and other damage, so it's important to tread carefully when you visit tide pools.
Cool Facts
Since calcification—the process that makes these plants hard—takes a lot of energy, corallines grow slowly. An eight-inch articulated coralline may be more than nine years old.
Most seaweed grazers shun these stony red algae. However, a few animals with special hardened mouth parts—like juvenile abalone, some marine snails and a chiton species (Tonicella lineata)—actually prefer to munch on corallines.
In coral reefs, a tropical genus of crustose coralline, Porolithon is an important cementing and bonding agent. It's contributed more to the building of reefs than the corals have—so perhaps the name coral reefs might properly be changed to algal reefs.

TRX Suspension Training Reviews
About TRX Suspension Training
Founded by former Navy Seal Randy Hetrick, TRX Suspension Training is claimed to be a highly portable training tool that leverages gravity and your body weight as resistance, giving you the ability to perform hundreds of different exercises. And by allowing you to quickly transition between strength, flexibility, and metabolic training exercises, TRX Suspension Training is claimed to get your heart rate up and to give you an intense, total body workout in as little as 30 minutes.
In today's marketplace, exercise gimmicks are a dime a dozen. But does TRX Suspension Training fall into this category, or can it really help you perform your best using fast, effective, and powerful workouts?
How TRX Suspension Training Claims to Work
Used by elite professional athletes, top personal trainers, and all branches of the U.S. military, TRX Suspension Training is claimed to give you the ability to perform over 300 different exercises that burn calories and build total body strength, including a rock-solid core, increased muscle endurance and flexibility, and improved performance.
In order to accomplish this, The TRX Suspension Training system consists of two adjustable, high quality and durable nylon straps that attach to a center anchor point, with handles on both ends. Because you can anchor the TRX straps almost anywhere, whether at home on a door or in the ceiling, or outside on a tree or any other anchor point sturdy enough to hold your body weight, the Suspension Training system is claimed to give you the flexibility to work out wherever you go.
When compared to other exercise devices, the TRX Suspension Training system is claimed to put you in control of how much you want to challenge yourself. This is because you'll use gravity and your own body weight, so you can adjust your body position to instantly change your resistance level, which allows you to achieve a balanced workout for all your muscle groups.
TRX Suspension Training is claimed to deliver a fast, effective, total-body workout for all men and women, from pro athletes to seniors, regardless of fitness level.
TRX Suspension Training Pricing & Refund Policy
TRX Suspension Trainers are available in 3 different models:
- TRX Home: $199.95 – Includes the suspension trainer, anchor, workout guide, and 6 bonus workouts. Works at home and on the go.
- TRX Pro: $249.95 – Includes the strongest model suspension trainer (strong enough for commercial use) available, trainer-specific instructional video, workout cards, 6 mix-and-match workout sessions, and 2 bonus workouts for your clients.
- TRX Force Kit Tactical: $299.95 – Includes the toughest and lightest suspension training system available, 12-week TRX Tactical Conditioning Program, and the TRX Force Super App.
Whether you're purchasing a Suspension Training System, a workout or exercise video, apparel, or accessories, all TRX products (with the exception of downloadable videos) come with a 30-day satisfaction guarantee and a one-year limited replacement warranty for defects in materials or manufacturing.
In order to initiate the refund process or to file a warranty claim, you'll need to contact TRX Suspension Training customer service at 888-878-5348.
What Do Other Consumers Have to Say About TRX Suspension Training?
Manufactured by Fitness Anywhere, Inc. based out of San Francisco, CA, TRX Training Suspension systems appear to have a primarily positive online reputation, with some common compliments referencing effectiveness, ease of use, portability, high-quality materials, and wide range of exercises.
However, this isn't to say that every customer had the same experience with TRX Suspension Training. Some of the most common complaints cite that it requires a lot of floor space to effectively use, and that its price is very high for what you get.
Can TRX Suspension Training Help You Achieve a Total-Body Workout?
You could be forgiven for thinking that $150 (or more) is an awful lot of money to pay for a couple nylon straps, but it might be worthwhile if the TRX Suspension Training system can really help you achieve a total-body workout in as little as 30 minutes. With this said, is the TRX Suspension Training system worth the money, or is it just another exercise gimmick that will sit unused in your closet a month from now? Consider the following:
Suspension Training Concerns
Suspension training has become increasingly popular over the last few years, with more and more classes at local gyms springing up each week. And overall, it appears that most people who've attended a suspension training class have enjoyed it, and felt that they got a good workout in the process. This can also give you the ability to try a suspension training class (although not necessarily using TRX products) at your local gym, which can help you discern if you enjoy it before making a purchase.
However, suspension training may not be for everyone. According to a NY Times article from 2007, "It might be valuable for well-conditioned athletes and gymgoers who regularly train their core, the muscles closest to their spine. But at best it is inappropriate for people who haven't built up their core and at worst is potentially dangerous for them." One professor of kinesiology in the article was also quoted as saying, "I see potential for muscular, skeletal and joint injuries. Particularly hyperextension of wrists, elbows, shoulders, ankles and knees."
In order to avoid injury when using the TRX Suspension Training system, several customers recommended that you start slowly and focus on proper posture. In addition, you'll also want to make sure that your anchor point is sturdy enough to support your body weight and then some, since you'll be putting a fair amount of resistance on the straps.
Admittedly, all exercises come with some level of risk, so you'll definitely want to talk with your doctor before beginning any new exercise program.
Counterfeit or Not?
During our research, we read that there appears to be a problem with counterfeit products being sold under the TRX Suspension Training name, which can be avoided by purchasing directly from the manufacturer.
However, we also read several reviews from customers who claimed that they attempted to sell their TRX Training Suspension system online, and the company flagged their postings for containing counterfeit products. It appears that in order to avoid this, you'll have to contact the company beforehand and prove that it is a legitimate product, usually by sending in receipts.
Consider All Your Options
Next, keep in mind that many competitors sell products similar to the TRX Training Suspension system, but for half the price, although they may not necessarily be of the same quality. Furthermore, there are numerous DIY instructions online for making your own suspension training system for as little as $15.
Calling All Recalls
Finally, there have been a couple instances of recalls for TRX Suspension Training systems.
First, a voluntary recall occurred in October 2012 that involved "older model "Professional" (P1) and "Tactical" (T1)TRX Suspension Trainer devices manufactured between January 2006 and July 2007," due to "570 reports of the strap length-adjustment buckles breaking with 82 reports of the user falling, including 13 reports of head, face, shoulder and hip injuries."
While this issue appears to have been addressed, TRX Suspension Training issued another recall in March 2014 related to their Dip and Hammer Bars, due to problems with "The welds on the bars, [which] can crack or break and cause the user to fall, posing a risk of injury.
Bottom line:
Just like most other exercise programs, you'll only get as much out of TRX Suspension Training as you put in to it. With this in mind though, it appears that the majority of customers have been pleased with their purchase and the results they achieved using the system.

TRX force snapped
My TRX force snapped and I knocked into the back of my head on a wall. I suffered a concussion and currently am recuperating. It's not as durable as it's advertised. I have been trying to get an answer from the manufacturer on this issue. No one has gotten back to me.
To all users of TRX, please be careful. If possible, make sure the floor behind you is a free space and padded. So if the TRX snaps you are falling not into a wall.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend

* FBI, DOE in joint investigation of Solyndra
* Solyndra filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy this week
* Lawmakers seek to question Solyndra CEO (Adds Solyndra spokesman comments, background, bylines; previous dateline LOS ANGELES)
By Poornima Gupta and Nichola Groom
FREMONT, Calif./LOS ANGELES, Sept 8 (Reuters) - FBI agents searched the offices of Solyndra on Thursday, the U.S. solar start-up that received millions of dollars in federal loan guarantees before filing for bankruptcy this week.
The search comes amid intensifying pressure on the Obama administration, which championed Solyndra as being at the forefront of solar technology when President Barack Obama visited the company's Fremont, California, facility in 2010.
The FBI said it was searching for materials, including documents, but did not offer more specifics.
"We are executing search warrants at Solyndra regarding a joint FBI and Department of Energy Office of Inspector General investigation," Julianne Sohn of the FBI said in an email.
DOE officials confirmed the search but also declined to give any additional information.
About 30 FBI agents were inside the new manufacturing building Solyndra constructed with government-backed funds, according to company spokesman David Miller, who said the focus of the search appeared to be paperwork and computers.
"It's been quite a surprising morning," Miller said from outside the company's headquarters, where a group of reporters and TV cameras were gathered to witness the search.
The FBI agents arrived at 7 a.m. local time and were already executing their search when the company's remaining 100 employees showed up for work, Miller said.
Those workers, including human resources personnel and those cleaning up manufacturing tools, carried on winding down the company's operations as the search went on, Miller said.
Solyndra laid off more than 1,000 workers last week and will go down to about 60 workers next week, he added.
Solyndra filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this week. [ID:nL3E7K61R0] The company received a $535 million loan guarantee from the federal government in 2009 and raised more than $700 million in venture capital funding in recent years from investors including Argonaut Ventures, Madrone Partners, USVP Venture Partners, Rockport Capital Partners, CMEA Ventures and Redpoint Ventures.
The company said last week it could not bring down its costs fast enough to compete with cheaper products from China. Chinese production of solar panels has exploded in recent years, and their panels have helped drive the price of solar energy down dramatically, putting pressure on panel makers with higher costs.
On Thursday, U.S. Senator Ron Wyden urged Obama to use U.S. trade laws to restrict "surging" imports of Chinese panels. [ID:nN1E78716U]
Solyndra is seeking a buyer to avoid a firesale liquidation of its assets. At a bankruptcy court hearing on Wednesday, Solyndra Chief Financial Officer W.G. Stover declined to identify either of the two companies that have shown an interest in the company's operations.
Also at the hearing, a government attorney said Solyndra should have filed for bankruptcy "a long time ago," and questioned why the company still needed more than 100 employees. [ID:nN1E7861BS]
On Thursday, House of Representatives Democrats Henry Waxman of the Energy and Commerce Committee and Diana DeGette of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee called on the subcommittee's chairman, Cliff Stearns, to invite Solyndra Chief Executive Brian Harrison to testify at a Sept. 14 hearing on the Solyndra loan guarantee.
Lawmakers have been probing Solyndra's loan guarantee, the first awarded under a government program to support innovative green technologies, since earlier this year.
In a letter to Stearns, Waxman and DeGette said Harrison met with the Energy and Commerce Committee less than two months ago and said at the time that Solyndra "was in a strong financial position and in no danger of failing."
Harrison has been contacted by the FBI but has not yet been interviewed, Miller said. (Additional reporting by Dan Levine in San Francisco, Tim Gardner in Washington and Matt Daily in New York; writing by Nichola Groom in Los Angeles; Editing by Tim Dobbyn, John Wallace and Richard Chang)

Trading Partner Portal: Thailand
Trade Overview
Thailand is located in the lush lower Mekong river sub Basin of South East Asia with an estimated standing population of over 69 million people.
Thailand's economy has generally grown within the last decade, averaging above four percent per year from 2000-2007. Though affected by the financial crisis, Thailand's economy greatly rebounded in 2010 with a growth of 7.8%. Due to unexpected environmental disasters in Thailand's northern region, their 2011 growth rate was severely affected however. While Thailand's economy temporarily rebounded in 2012, it contracted slightly in 2013 with a growth rate of 2.9%, becoming stagnant with a 1% in 2014, and then began to grow again steadily with a growth rate of of 3.2% for 2016.

United States and Thailand Reaffirm Commitment to Expand Trade and Investment Ties
USTR, April 20, 2016
Thailand and California
According to the Thai American Chamber of Commerce in California, California is home to some 200,000 Thais, the largest Thai population outside of Thailand.
California is home to many Thai businesses, among them Thai Airways, Kasikorn Bank (Thailand's second largest commercial bank), Krung Thai Bank and Chang Beer. Apart from the influence of these larger companies, aspects of Thai culture have found niche markets in America, from Spa and Massage services; Buddhist influenced beauty and health programs, and Thai boxing clubs. However, perhaps most famous in California is their food business. Los Angeles alone is home to about 700 Thai restaurants
Thai Town
Los Angeles is home to the only Thai Town in the world, having occupied a section of East Hollywood since 1999. Thai town is operated by the Thai Community Development Center, a non-profit organization created in 1994 with the expressed goals of creating "a thriving community by creating businesses and jobs, developing decent and affordable housing, and revitalizing public space".

Multi-Lateral Cooperation
Thailand's Multi-Lateral Cooperation
Thailand is a member of several multi-lateral organizations which have increased Thailand's presence both in the region and globally. They are currently a member of the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN), Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), the World Trade Organization (WTO), The Mekong River Commission, and the Greater Mekong Sub Region (an IGO created through the Asian Development Bank).
Through these organizations and bi-lateral relations with the United States, there has been increased development in Thailand's infrastructure, as well as environmental impact analysis and studies for continued economic growth. The United States also pledged $187 million for the Lower Mekong Initiative, which "has the stated aim of improving education, health, infrastructure, and the environment in the region". (Lee, John. "China's Water Grab." Foreign Policy)
The initiative was negotiated by U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, and the foreign ministers of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. U.S. State Department

The US and UK governments often mirror each other's strategies when it comes to new education policies, and the recent introduction of coding into the school curriculum is no exception. From this September, all children aged five and up will have to learn to code, with the English coding revolution reflecting the vision encapsulated in President Barack Obama's famous quote: "Don't just play on your phone – program it!"
This change is being accompanied by a surge of resources aimed at helping children code creatively, with tools ranging from non-digital board games such as Robot Turtles to Google's completely visual, character-free programming language. While some tools are commercially produced, others like The Missionmaker Core, have been developed through research and development projects in collaboration with schools.
It's not just about the tools though. Concerns have been raised about the government's inadequate training plans for teachers, and the risks of simplifying coding into procedural building blocks rather than conceptualising it as a new 21st century skill.
Mixed signals
The problem is that we're getting our coding metaphors mixed up. Editor at Mother Jones, Tasneem Raja, argues that good coders are like good cooks who are able to create creative dishes out of some basic ingredients. Others compare coding to music and composing, there is a rhythm and melody to it. Another popular metaphor is that of poetry and art.
There are some important similarities between these metaphors: they all share the notion of working steadily towards proficiency. Those who code daily for hours are likely to be those who will be good at it. All three metaphors also implicitly point to audience awareness: a musician, poet or cook derive great delight from those they "code" for.
Code for and with the community
Another way of looking at coding is that of creating a story, built by a community. If we characterise coding in this way, we move the concept beyond linear code-writing to multi-dimensional coding, co-created by multiple authors, who actively make as well as consume the code.
Seeing coding as community-story projects can help answer questions around how to educate and foster a generation that loves coding rather than teaching a set of skills demanded by employers. It moves us to conceptualising coding as part of computing science which can be taught without touching a computer and which needs to be taught differently to different age groups.
Importantly, it implies that children and teachers have to collaborate to use online tools together. Teachers could code apps and websites with the children, for various contexts of use. We need more examples of apps which are innovative and meet specific needs, like we saw with the Devonport High School for Boys app, created by Plymouth students aged 14 and 15 for students, staff and parents to communicate better with each other.
Similarly, a group of students across year groups could collaborate on coding projects, borrow ideas and re-purpose them.
The power of the right metaphor
Seeing coding in this way might provoke a society-wide dialogue about empowering more people to become involved in the creation of the content they would like to see in the digital sphere. It could inspire politicians, the private sector or not-for-profit organisations to support free coding lessons to parents, grandparents and the general public, and so avoid widening the cross-generational digital divide even further.
It could also provide an accessible way in which to demonstrate the need for gender and racial diversity in the coding industry. With a new generation of community coders, we are less likely to see social software applications designed for and by predominantly young urban white men.
Metaphors have the power to create realities we would like to see. If we are ever to reduce the cross-generational gap in digital skills we have been experiencing since 1990s and the digital divides within generations on the rise since the early 2000s, using the metaphor of community storytelling seems like a good one.

16 December, 7.30pm: The Tallis Scholars

For centuries to the present day, music has been at the heart of the Temple, an oasis lying between the City of Westminster and the City of London. The ancient Temple Church and historic Middle Temple Hall continue to be an ideal setting for outstanding chamber and choral concerts, organ recitals, song recitals and staged performances of operas.
The Temple Church and Middle Temple Hall are the venues for the fourth Temple Winter Festival, which will run from 13 to 19 December 2016. We are very pleased to welcome the outstanding musicians who are to perform and also the participation of BBC Radio 3.

The culmination of the festival will be a performance Handel's most famous work, Messiah, in Middle Temple Hall. Following last year's sell-out performance we are delighted to welcome back Ian Page and Classical Opera as part of the festival.
I urge you to book in good time. The festival goes from strength to strength and this year looks the most exciting one to date.
I look forward to seeing you there.

Chairman, Temple Music Foundation

We love wool, and this week is Choose Wool Week, so we thought we'd get involved by doing a series of little interviews featuring some of our favourite New Zealanders working with wool.
Wool is a renewable and biodegradable fibre source, it's beautiful, warm, versatile, natural, local and just plain lovely…
Harry Were agrees:
How does wool feature in your work?
I have a small hand-knitted range that I'm launching on a wee website next week. I have a few hand-knitters knitting for me.
What is it about wool you love?
Everything, it's beautiful! I do like how it's renewable. They get shorn, it grows again, the sheep is still alive and happy (hopefully). It's warm, doesn't need much washing and is natural. It's great that New Zealand has a lot of sheep.
Can you remember the first woollen item you made?
Yep, Ma taught me how to knit when I was nine. I made a four-by-four rib scarf. It was the longest, widest, heaviest, chunkiest gift I gave to her. She threw it out.
What was the most recent woollen item you made?
Well, at the moment I have a few knitters knitting for me, because I'm too slow to keep up with the orders. I'm knitting a hat that Wool and the Gang kindly sent me, and a tiny jumper for a hand-knitted panda that another of my knitters has been making. Tricia, my knitter, who is a star, is continuing to knit jumpers for my website. I met a great girl who lives in the Marlborough Sounds and she's been hand-spinning, and naturally dyeing (if at all) wool for a recent few pieces.
Is there anyone using wool you particularly admire?
Yes, Kirsty Cameron is behind the most beautiful Godmother Protects handwoven blankets, which are available at Everyday Needs. I love the wool she uses, and her designs.

The Chatswood Sleeps Rough event aims to increase awareness of homelessness in Australia by providing a taste of what homelessness is like. With an increasing number of Australians experiencing domestic violence and youth homelessness each year, this is a reality that we, as a community, have to acknowledge. The streets are no place for a person to live on. As such, Chatswood Sleeps Rough endeavours to address the root causes of homelessness and reverse this worrying trend; and at the same time to raise funds to help people experiencing homelessness.
Chatswood Chamber of Commerce is proud to announce the following organisations that are currently involved in this event:
- Streetwork
- The Salvation Army
- Westfield
- Chatswood Chamber
- Willoughby City Council
- Orora Fibre Packaging

Today we were a little worried about the weather at camp. Forecast called for a 30-40% chance of rain while we were there, but luckily we only got a few sprinkles. We started our day with extended free exploration time. The kids LOVE making mud pits, and then we went on a dig for all the buried plastic bugs and dinosaurs. We're still missing the giant T-Rex though… not sure where he ran off to!
We spent a lot of time in the garden because there were so many veggies to harvest and many farm friends and foes were discovered! We found two friendly toads, as well as this beautiful (but harmful) caterpillar. A tomato hornworm!
We didn't put the hornworm in the bath of doom because it was too beautiful so we are keeping it as a pet 😉 During our harvest we picked tomatoes, green bell peppers, Hungarian hot peppers, and cucumbers. We literally had a bucket of veggies, so every camper got to take home one bell pepper, one cucumber, two hot peppers, and several cherry tomatoes.
Afterwards we scouted around to see what else we had growing in the garden. We checked on the progress of our giant pumpkin plants, and we've got one that's getting pretty big! Check it out, with a campers hand in the photo for size comparison. If we are *really* lucky we might grow one that's almost a hundred pounds!
Afterwards we made today's farm snack, fresh veggie salsa. All of the ingredients were things from the garden or the farm. We included: slicing and cherry tomatoes, a bell pepper, a red onion, and some garlic. Some of the campers weren't huge fans of the salsa, but most loved it and asked for more! Tomorrow we will continue with our farm snack theme by tasting our special Tigger melons and making a Shrek smoothie!

About 40 faculty, staff, students, retirees and others will be showing their creative side and offering handmade items for sale at the seventh annual Artisans' Fair on Friday. The fair will be held from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. in the Benson University Center, room 401.
Vendors must be Wake Forest faculty, staff, students or relatives, but the fair is open to the community. There is no charge to attend, but canned good donations for the Second Harvest Food Bank in Winston-Salem are encouraged. Cash and checks will be accepted, and door prizes will be given.
The fair is now a Wake Forest tradition, with new vendors sprinkled among some who have shown every year. For Linda Early, who works in the ZSR Library and makes jewelry, it adds to the University's family feel.
"I love getting to see the same vendors and customers every year," said Early, who has been a fixture as a vendor. "It's great to hear later that someone really loved their jewelry. A nice pat on the back …"
For Early, the entire artistic process is about family.
"My daughter KT taught me to make jewelry in 2004 when she went on the road as a traveling contract therapist," Early said. "We sold together for several years — she would ship me her new stuff — and I still have a piece or two in my collection that she made."
As both an alumna and staffer, Early should already be a familiar face to many around campus. She's worked in the bookstore and the library, where she is currently the Head of Monographic Acquisitions, managing the operations for purchasing books and DVDs for the library.
For her dedication to her job and many other volunteer roles across campus, she was named the 2010 Employee of the Year.
Early said that jewelry making has been a beneficial hobby.
"I actually thought I couldn't do it since my fine motor skills have aged along with the rest of me, but making jewelry has actually improved them a great deal, just like my therapist daughter said it would," she said. "I enjoy the design work the most and have really learned to challenge myself to learn new methods."

Is This the World's Most Famous Chair?
Photo: functionalfate Palermo
Is this the world's most famous chair? It is certainly the most ubiquitous; spotted everywhere from front porches to cafes to garbage dumps to beaches across the world.
It's not known who designed it but it has a name: the Monobloc, it has a website, a book and it has just had its own exhibition at the International Design Museum in Munich.
Photo: functionalfate Berlin
The museum was celebrating it because the chair has certain undeniable design traits: it is universally accessible, mass-manufactured and cheap. It is light, stable, stackable, weatherproof, incredible value for money, omnipresent and anonymous.
Photo: functionalfate New York
It is made in one single production process out of 3 kilos of polypropylene at 200 degrees Celsius, at the rate of one chair every 70 seconds. They cost about $3.00 and are manufactured around the world.
Photo: functionalfate India
In the West it can be recycled since polypropylene is a thermoplastic and can be recycled if the garbage is properly sorted. However in other parts of the world the price of a plastic chair can equal a day's work, so people try and fix them as best they can.
Photo: functionalfate Paris
This one was so dear to its owner's heart that it got moved along with the rest of the household furnishings.
Photo: functionalfate Oman
designboom has published a mini-history of the plastic chair. The first was made in 1965 by Joe Colombo, then, in 1967 the first monobloc chair was invented by the italian designer Vico Magistretti. Danish designer Verner Panton did a cantilevered one and then in the late 1970's the real thing was first made.

Boys still seeking league win
By ERIC A. HOWALD
Of the Keizertimes
The McNary High School boys varsity basketball team continued its struggle through a tough season with two losses last week.
The boys fell to North Salem High School 63-50 and Sprague High School 62-49. While the team has yet to break a losing skid since the beginning of Central Valley Conference play, Head Coach Ryan Kirch had high hopes for games against the McKay and West Salem high schools this week.
"They're both teams that we've had leads on going into the last four minutes of the game the first time around and it's an opportunity to build some confidence headed into the seeding tournament next week," Kirch said.
The team's conference record, 0-8, doesn't reflect the narrow misses they've had, but the outcomes of each have come down to the final minutes of nearly every game.

Once set to "true", the gateway will check the status of a transaction that has an order_id that matches the one passed. If the transaction is found, the gateway will respond with the specifics of that transaction. If the transaction is not found, the gateway will respond with a not found message.

Things to consider: The Status Check request should only be used once and immediately (within 2 minutes) after the last transaction that had failed. Do not resend the Status Check request if it has timed out. Additional investigation is required.

The case which will hold the whale has been made by Casco, the specialist aquarium construction company that built the tank in which Damien Hirst's pickled shark was displayed. The whale's remains will be displayed throughout this week.
The Thames whale was the subject of a frantic bid to save its life last January after it became beached near Battersea Bridge. The female whale - thought to be about seven years old - died as it was being ferried to deeper water.
'It now appears it died of dehydration,' said Sabin. 'Whales get fresh water from their food, but this type of whale normally feeds on deep-water squid which you don't find in the Thames or its estuary. Somehow, the whale got lost in the North Atlantic, ended up in the North Sea and then turned into the Thames where it could find nothing to eat.'

The machine generates ultrasound frequencies that create thousands of microscopic air bubbles to surround the fat cell membranes. With vibration, the air bubbles create pressure that breaks the fat cells instantly The contents of the broken lipocytes are then removed through the lymphatic system leading to inch loss. Drinking plenty of water both on the day of treatment and on subsequent days will speed up the process of removal of broken lipocytes. A period of exercise, post treatment will improve the result. Noticeable results can be observed within the next few days as each session of ultrasound cavitation builds up on the previous results.

Advantages of U-Lipo Ultrasound Cavitation:
Get relief from the painful degenerative arthritis (osteoarthritis) No knee replacement surgery required if treated early Can reduce the pain significantly or completely Pain free-surgery free-drug & injection free-no hospitalization – no side effects Very short treatment period
Healing by stimulating body's natural healing and regeneration factors
FOR pain relief, degenerative arthritis in knee, hip, spine and joints, tendonitis and osteoporosis
Used extensively across Europe, EMRT is a unique form of electromagnetic therapy for healing damaged structures such as cartilage, intervertebral discs, bones, the attachment points of tendons, ligament structures and the articular capsule within all joints. It has also been proven in the treatment of osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, stress fractures and the mal-union of broken bones.
It is an innovative technological advanced form of therapy that uses a noninvasive medical device to treat arthritis, osteoporosis, accident, work, sports and repetitive stress injuries. What makes this therapy unique is that it merges traditional and non-traditional medical care. While the therapy harnesses the body's own ability to heal it-self (a non-traditional approach), the technology has gone through scientifically rigorous clinical trials with successes and patient benefits.
The treatment is administered in 9 -12 sessions of 60 mins each, conducted under the supervision of a trained EMRT Therapist. The goal is to reach both short and long-term reduction of pain, improve physical resilience and increase joint function.
Unlike traditional magnetic field therapy, with EMRT, the magnetic field only serves as the "carrier" for the electrically pulsed signals. The magnetic field allows these signals to penetrate the injury unchanged. Without the magnetic field, the pulsating signals would be distorted by varying density of the surrounding tissue.
How does EMRT work? Research has shown that when stress is placed on a joint, a low power electrical signal is created. This natural signal tells the body to repair damaged or worn tissues and to maintain the health and proper functioning of the joint. Sometimes, this signal is disturbed as a result of aging, injury or disease. When this happens, the body is unable to repair the damage itself. This results in pain, inflammation and loss of proper function in the joint resulting in the disease and symptoms. Electrical currents are responsible for the function of the cartilage cells and the regeneration of the bone tissue. However, in unhealthy cartilage tissue, a normal flow of these electric currents is severely affected..
EMRT is unique in that it mimics the body's natural signal, activating the normal healing process and stimulates the growth and repair of the damaged tissue. Over time, the joints of the human body become stressed by the continuous support of the body weight, muscle and tendon strength. The cartilage tissue reacts with a functional adaptation.
Studies and the treatment of thousands of patients have shown that over 83% of patients experience a reduction in pain and inflammation, combined with an increase in physical function. Some patients find themselves free of all symptoms following the treatment. Others find their symptoms greatly reduced. Many patients are able to reduce or even discontinue their pain medication. Many have reported being able to return to normal routine activities, and many are able to participate in their favourite sports .
The biggest benefit for many patients is that EMRT can save them the expense, pain and inherent risks of surgery.

A Queens terror suspect accused of intentionally crashing his car told police dispatchers "we love death" as the FBI and NYPD moved in to arrest him on Jan. 7, 2010 for his alleged role in a plot to bomb New York City's subways.
Adis Medunjanin is heard on part of frenetic 911 call -- obtained by NBC New York Tuesday -- as he allegedly drove close to 100 mph along the Whitestone Expressway while counterterror officials followed him that January day.
"This is Adis …we love death—," Medunjanin shouts before continuing in Arabic, "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger."
Investigators have said after the subway terror plot was foiled, Medunjanin made a last effort to smash his car and call for attacks on Americans.
But his defense lawyer said Medunjanin panicked when the FBI visited his home to seize his passport and told him he was under investigation for conspiracy to commit murder.
Medunjanin was under investigation for his ties to terrorists Najibullah Zazi and Zarein Ahmedzay, who have since pleaded guilty to plotting to bomb the subways.
Medunjanin attorney Robert Gottlieb said his client is not a terrorist and played no role in the terror plot. He said the 911 call is an example of a young man who is panicked, not someone out to commit an act of terror
"He intended, and wanted, to kill himself," said Gottlieb. "This was not a call to jihad."
Prosecutors said Medunjanin traveled to Pakistan with Zazi for terror training. Medunjanin has pleaded not guilty to charges he was going to be one of three suicide bombers.
On the 911 tape, the operator is unaware that it is a terror suspect on the line. "Caller on the line, what borough are you in? What's the address?" she asks.
In the 33-second call, the 911 operator asks if Medunjanin needs police or an ambulance just before the wild crash.
The recording was obtained Tuesday after NBC New York attorney Daniel Kummer argued in federal court to have the tape released to the news media.

Let's call a spade a spade here, this is a lot like the movie The Bodyguard with Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. It involves a rich woman whose life is danger so she gets a bodyguard to protect her. The difference is that the threat is unknown and it takes Jake the length of the book to figure out who it is.
It is said that you need to watch out who you step on to make it to the top, because they can come back for vengeance when you least expect it. That's what happens with Camille and her father. He is a rich and powerful man that needs to control everything in life. Obviously Jake is not about to let this man control him. He took on the job to protect Camille and he is not going to stop until he knows she's 100% safe.
Jake is all hot and perfect that I would gladly let him guard my body. He does come with his issues and they run deeper than the ocean. Camille, as we all would do, falls for Jake especially after he becomes her knight in shining armor. Add that ot the fact that he's got the whole bad-boy thing working for him, it's almost impossible not to love him.
Now it wouldn't be a Jodi Ellen Malpas book so you know the love scenes are going to be scorching hot. This book should come with a warning. DO NOT READ IN PUBLIC. I made that mistake and had to quickly change the book because some of the scenes were so hot that I couldn't turn my attention way from it. The book grabbed me and didn't let me go.
The ending? Oh boy. When we find out what happened and who is threatening her it's a big twist of fate. Camille's father is not the nicest man. In fact, a lot of times I had hoped that Jake would put a bullet in his brain.
I loved the relationship between Camille and Jake. They had a great back and forth and you can see that they are good for one another. The only thing that I didn't like was that they both just fell right into love after knowing each other for like a week. I know for her, falling into lust is likely considering he saved her, but to fall in love? Seemed a bit to out there for me.
Rating: C+
You can buy the book at Amazon , Barnes and Noble, Kobo, or iBooks.

The feast of Corpus Domini falls on the 9th Sunday following Easter. This festival is a real cultural community event where local people come together to create colourful decorative carpets to adorn the streets and squares of Atina. These designs are made using brightly coloured wood chippings and flowers.
A metal template is used to form the designs.
Piazza Marconi, the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and the Bishops Palace.
Several special altars are set up in various neighbourhood along the route of the planned procession, the main one being sited in the doorway of the old cathedral.
Also, along the way, apartment dwellers drape silk banners and beautiful lace trimmed linens from their windows and balconies.
For the solemn religious procession of the blessed sacrament, the parish priest wears an ornately embroidered wrap around his shoulders. This he then uses this to hold the "monstrance" displaying the holy consecrated sacrament of the host which represents the blessed body of Christ. Four proud staff bearers support a decorative canopy aloft, flanked by several dignitaries and cassocked youths carrying a crucifix and lanterns. The town band follows behind and many townsfolk join in the religious parade along the way. The procession slowly winds its way through various quarters of Atina. At each of the special altars the priest offers prayers and blesses each of the districts.
When the procession arrives back to the piazza in front of the old cathedral, more prayers are offered and then the cathedral bells begin to joyfully ring out. Finally a Benediction takes place in the cathedral to conclude the day's celebrations.
