This application claims the benefit of the Patent Korean Application No. 10-2007-0106470 filed on Oct. 23, 2007, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE
1. Field of the Disclosure
The present invention relates to a laundry apparatus. More particularly, the present invention relates to a laundry apparatus including a radio-communication device and a radio-communication control part, only to make possible communication with a mobile phone having a radio-communication device.
2. Discussion of the Related Art
Typically, laundry apparatuses are electric appliances which use a power of a mechanism. A laundry apparatus includes an electric motor as main power supply source. Using water and detergent, the laundry apparatus removes dirt from washing objects (hereinafter, laundry) through a washing, rinsing and spinning cycle. The conventional laundry apparatus includes a motor as a power supply source, a mechanism part transmitting energy, an operation control part controlling an overall washing, a water supply device and water drain device, and a steam supply device or hot air supply device.
A program controlling components of the laundry apparatus, a cycle mode and an operation method of the laundry apparatus may be stored in the operation control part.
It is impossible in the conventional laundry apparatus to change the preset cycle mode and operation method. Accordingly, the conventional laundry apparatus fails to satisfy changing demands of users. As a result, once a laundry apparatus is purchased, the laundry apparatus is usable in the same cycle mode and operation method inputted in the production line of the laundry apparatus until the end of the usage life of the laundry apparatus.
A laundry apparatus may be occasionally installed inside a house where a user lives but the laundry apparatus is commonly installed outside the house or in a laundry room. In case of a laundry apparatus having a remote control, a user can control the laundry apparatus remote. However, there are little kinds of laundry apparatuses having remote controls and the cost of adding a remote control to a laundry apparatus will end up the high price of the laundry apparatus. In addition, there are many different infrared communications of such the remote controls and they are not compatible with each other.
Moreover, if a user operates a conventional remote control, the remote control emits infrared rays to controls a laundry apparatus. The infrared rays are pulse-code modulated (PCM) to be on and off intermittently by a binary encoding. Hence, an infrared receiver provided in an electric appliance combines the codes and transmits the result of the code combination to an operation circuit provided in a control part, such that the electric appliance may be controlled.
However, the information cannot be transmitted in a reverse direction and the user at a different place cannot identify whether an electric appliance such as a laundry apparatus operates normally or how far a washing process is performed.
Therefore, the laundry apparatus according to the present invention is provided to be controlled by a mobile phone wirelessly, the laundry apparatus including a radio-communication device capable of storing information on a new operation method which is received from the mobile phone.

DESCRIPTION OF SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS
Reference will now be made in detail to the specific embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.
FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram of a laundry apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment. The laundry apparatus includes a laundry device, an operation control part, a radio-communication device and a radio-communication control part. The laundry device washes or dries laundry. The operation control part controls overall components of the laundry device. The radio-communication device is in radio-communication with a mobile phone having a radio-communication device which is an identical kind to the radio-communication device. The radio-communication control part exchanges data with the operation control part, with controlling the radio-communication device.
That is, a control part of the laundry apparatus includes an operation control part 110 controlling an overall operation of the laundry device and a radio-communication control part 120 controlling a radio-communication device 130 provided in the laundry apparatus.
The radio-communication control part 120 includes a radio-communication processing unit 122 and a memory part 124. The radio-communication processing unit 122 processes data which is generated during the radio-communication. The memory part 124 includes a radio-communication control program run in the radio-communication processing unit 122 to control the radio-communication device 130 and an auxiliary storage space.
The operation control part 110 may be configured of a micro controller unit (MCO) and various kinds of operation programs are inputted and stored in the operation memory part 114 composing the operation control part 110, such that the operation control part 110 may control the laundry device of the laundry apparatus. Here, the laundry device includes various kinds of mechanism components to wash or dry laundry.
The components of the laundry device may be a motor 10, a water supply device 20, a water drain device 30, a ventilation fan 40 and a steam generation device 50.
As mentioned above, the operation control part 110 controlling the operation of the laundry apparatus includes the operation memory part 114 and the operation control program is stored in the operation memory part 114 to control the components of the laundry apparatus. Here, information on an operation method or various cycle modes of the laundry apparatus may be programmed and stored in the operation memory part 114.
According to the conventional laundry apparatus, the operation control program stored in the operation memory part 114, for example, an operation method or a cycle mode cannot be changeable. Even if a new operation method or cycle mode of the laundry apparatus is developed by its manufacturer, it is quite difficult to apply or add the new method or cycle.
To solve that, the laundry apparatus according to the exemplary embodiment includes the radio-communication control part 120 which is communication with the operation control part 110. The radio-communication control part 120 includes a radio-communication processing unit 122 and a radio-communication memory part 124, like the operation control part 110.
The radio-communication control part 120 controls a radio-communication device provided in the laundry apparatus to communicate with an outside.
The radio-communication processing unit 122 processes the information received from the radio-communication device 130 of the laundry apparatus to store the processed information in the radio-communication memory part 124 or to transmit the processed information to the operation control part 110.
The laundry apparatus having the radio-communication device 130 is wirelessly in communication with a mobile phone 200 having an identical radio-communication device to the radio-communication device 130.
The radio-communication device 130 of the laundry device may be a Bluetooth communication module.
Bluetooth is a kind of communication technology system to connect portable devices such as mobile phones, portable PC with network access points and other peripheral devices wirelessly, with a small size, low cost and less electricity consumption, and it has been popular recently.
The Bluetooth communication module is a series of chips enabling Bluetooth communication, a bonding of circuits such as memories and antennas having radio-communication programs. That is, Bluetooth communication module means that a set of chips and a set of antennas are modulated into a single chip to enable Bluetooth communication.
If the radio-communication device installed in the mobile phone and the laundry apparatus is a Bluetooth module, the radio-communication control program is referenced to as a Bluetooth module control program. As a result, if the Bluetooth function of the mobile phone is active, the radio-communication control program controlling Bluetooth module is pairing with the laundry apparatus. If the mobile phone and the laundry apparatus are pairing, binary information exchange is possible.
The mobile phone is a portable device and it can selectively activate Bluetooth communication function to save electricity. However, Bluetooth module installed in the laundry apparatus consumes substantially little amount of electricity and thus it may be preset to inspect the communicable mobile phone continuously. Also, it is selective in the laundry apparatus to activate the Bluetooth mode.
If the radio-communication control program installed in the mobile phone is run, the laundry apparatus and the mobile phone are pairing, prior to the exchange of the information.
In electric appliances having Bluetooth communication module, binary data transmission is possible and thus, wireless communication is possible without an auxiliary program.
The mobile phone 200 having the radio-communication device 230 with Bluetooth communication module may send and receive data to and from the laundry apparatus via the radio-communication.
The reason why the mobile phone 200 is in radio-communication with the laundry apparatus according to the exemplary embodiment is that the laundry apparatus is controlled by the mobile phone 200 and that the information received from the outside is transmitted to the laundry apparatus.
Commonly, at least one of the infrared communication module and Bluetooth communication module is provided in a recently released mobile phone 200.
If such the mobile phone 200 having the radio-communication device 230 controls the laundry apparatus and the information on the operational state of the laundry apparatus is identified via the mobile phone 200, this may replace the remote control and the production cost may be reduced and functions which the conventional remote control cannot provide may be embodied.
To control the laundry apparatus according to the exemplary embodiment by using the mobile phone 200, a program to control the laundry apparatus should be mounted in the mobile phone 200.
That is, a radio control program is stored in the auxiliary storage space of the radio-communication memory part 124 and the radio control program is transmitted and installed to control the laundry apparatus.
The radio control program installed in the mobile phone 200 to control the laundry apparatus may be downloaded from a computer via the internet or a mobile web of the mobile phone itself.
Here, it is premised that such the radio control program is downloaded via a web page provided by the manufacturer of the laundry apparatus.
At this time, there is limit of a place where the internet service should be provided or of a mobile phone which should be highly efficient one.
If the internet service is not available in the residence area of the user or the user's mobile phone cannot be connected with the mobile web, a method of transmitting and installing the radio control program to and in the mobile phone 200 is necessary.
According to the laundry apparatus according to the embodiment, the radio control program transmitted and installed in the mobile phone 200 to control the laundry apparatus may be stored in the radio-communication memory part 124.
The radio-communication control program run in the radio-communication processing unit 122 to control the radio-communication device 130 is stored in the radio-communication memory part 124 and the auxiliary storage space is provided in the radio-communication memory part 124 as mentioned above. Thus, the radio control program which will be transmitted to the mobile phone may be stored in the auxiliary storage space.
The radio control program which will be installed in the mobile phone 200 having the radio-communication device may be stored in the auxiliary storage space in a production line of the laundry apparatus.
If then, the radio-communication device 130 may transmit the radio control program to the mobile phone. The radio-communication control part 120 packetizes the radio control program which will be transmitted via the radio-communication device of the laundry apparatus and the radio-communication device 130 transmits the packetized radio control program to the mobile phone.
The radio control program may be wirelessly transmittable to the mobile phone via the radio-communication device 130 of the laundry apparatus.
The radio control program is transmitted to the mobile phone 200 and it is installed in the mobile phone 200 to run.
If a control signal of the laundry apparatus is inputted by a user, the radio control program installed in the mobile phone transmits a control signal controlling the laundry apparatus to the laundry apparatus via the radio-communication device of the mobile phone.
The control signal may be a control signal to perform specific works, for example, start drying or add rinsing. The control signal of the laundry apparatus is transmitted to the operation control part of the laundry apparatus via the radio-communication device 130 and the radio-communication control part 120, so as to control the various components of the laundry apparatus.
The radio control program has a function of inspecting the information on the operation state of the laundry apparatus which is transmitted from the operation control part 110 of the laundry apparatus, rather than transmitting the control signal to control the laundry apparatus.
The information on the operation state of the laundry apparatus which is transmitted to the mobile phone may be displayed via the mobile phone, with the radio control program running on the mobile phone. It is premised that such the radio control program supports a function of displaying the information on the operation state of the laundry apparatus on a display device of the mobile phone.
Specifically, the information the user has selected, for example, an operation state of the laundry apparatus and a remaining time of washing and the information, for example, operation completion of the laundry apparatus may be informed of the user. As a result, the user may start to dry or wash another laundry without waste of time.
Such the information of the operation sate and the information of the operation completion may be collected to the radio-communication processing unit 122 from the operation control part 110, or such the information may be information of an operation state which is stored in each of the storage spaces.
A selection mode may be provided such that the user may select the information on the operation state which will be transmitted by the control part of the laundry apparatus wirelessly
That is, the radio-communication control part collects the information on the operation state of the laundry apparatus from the operation control part and it transmits the collected information to the mobile phone via the radio-communication device of the laundry apparatus.
FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a control signal if the laundry apparatus according to the embodiment is controlled by the mobile phone 200.
The user uses a keypad of the mobile phone 200 having the radio control program and the user selects a control signal of the laundry apparatus. For example, the control signal may include "start washing mode" and "start drying mode"
Such the control signal is transmitted to the radio-communication device 230 of the mobile phone from a control part 210 of the mobile phone 200 and it is packetized to enable the radio-communication. Hence, the packetized signal is transmitted to the radio-communication device 130 of the laundry apparatus wirelessly.
The control signal transmitted to the radio-communication device 130 of the laundry apparatus may be transmitted to the operation control part 110 of the laundry apparatus via the radio-communication control part 120.
The operation control part 110 controls each of the components based on the control signal.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a method of providing information with the mobile phone 200 from the laundry apparatus.
FIG. 3A shows that the information on the operation state of the laundry apparatus is supplied to the mobile phone 200 by the user's demand and FIG. 3B shows that the laundry apparatus according to the exemplary embodiment automatically supplies information to the mobile phone 200.
First of all, in reference to FIG. 3A, it will be described that the information on the operation state of the laundry apparatus is transmitted to the mobile phone 200.
The radio-communication control part 120 may collect or transmit the information on the operation state of the laundry apparatus if a request signal of the information on the operation state of the laundry apparatus is received.
That is, if the request signal of the information on the operation state of the laundry apparatus is inputted by the user, the request signal is transmitted to the control part 210 of the mobile phone 200, the radio-communication device 230 of the mobile phone 200, the radio-communication device 130 of the laundry apparatus, the radio-communication control part 120 of the laundry apparatus and the operation control part 110 of the laundry apparatus.
The operation control part 110 collects the information on the operation state of the laundry apparatus according to the request signal of the information on the operation state which is transmitted to the operation control part 110.
During the collecting of the information, the operation processing unit 112 of the operation control part 110 may temporarily store the information, which will be transmitted to the mobile phone, in the operation memory part 114.
Once the collection of the information on the operation state of the laundry apparatus is complete, the completion of the collecting is transmitted in the opposite direction of the passage of the request signal of the information on the operation state. It is transmitted to the operation control part 110, the radio-communication control part 120, the radio-communication device 130 of the laundry apparatus, the radio-communication device 230 of the mobile phone 200 and the control part of the mobile phone, and then it is displayed via a LCD device of the mobile phone 200.
If the information on the operation state of the laundry apparatus is requested by the user as mentioned above, the operation control part 110 of the laundry apparatus may collect the information. Here, it is preferable that the information on the operation state of each component of the laundry apparatus is collected at predetermined intervals in advance during the operation of the laundry apparatus. Hence, if the user inputs the request signal of the information on the operation state, the information corresponding to the request signal is transmitted to the mobile phone 200.
The pre-collected information on the operation state may be stored in the operation memory part 114 composing the operation control part 110. The operation control part 110 may be programmed to collect the information on the operation state at predetermined intervals during the operation of the laundry apparatus.
FIG. 3B shows that the laundry apparatus according to the embodiment provides the user with the information on the operation state automatically, unless the request signal of the operation state is inputted by the user.
The information on the operation state of the laundry apparatus may include information on operation completion of the laundry apparatus, for example, "washing is complete" and "drying is complete", which requires the user's action.
The information which is the automatic transmission object is stored in the operation control program run in the operation control part 110. At this time, it is preferable that the information automatically transmitted is selected or added by the user.
For example, if the user wishes to identify the time of the last rinsing cycle during the washing course, the user may preset the time of the last rinsing to be transmitted to the mobile phone via the control part wirelessly. As a result, the information on the completion of the washing or drying is preset to be transmitted to the user even without a separate setting and the other auxiliary information may be preset to be transmitted to the user according to the user's selection.
On the laundry apparatus directly may the user select the information which will be automatically transmitted or a system may be built for the user to select the information via the mobile phone 200.
FIG. 4 shows a transmission passage of the operation control program if the operation control program of the laundry apparatus is added or changed.
The conventional laundry apparatus is controlled by the operation control program which is stored in the operation memory part 114 of the operation control part 110. At this time, the washing efficiency of the same laundry apparatus can be changed by a new operation control program.
However, according to the conventional laundry apparatus, it is impossible to add or change a new operation program.
In contrast, it is possible in the laundry apparatus according to the present invention to add a new operation control program or replace the existing operation control program with a new operation control program, if a new operation control program of the laundry apparatus is transmitted to the laundry apparatus via the mobile phone.
That is, since the laundry apparatus according to the exemplary embodiment includes the radio-communication device 130, a new operation control program is downloaded to the mobile phone 200 and the downloaded operation control program is transmitted to the operation control part 110 of the laundry apparatus by using the radio-communication devices 130 and 230 provided in the mobile phone 200 and the laundry apparatus, respectively.
A new operation control program may be downloaded to the mobile phone 200 via the internet or mobile internet. The mobile phone 200 generally includes an extra storage space and information as well as files may be stored in the extra storage space temporarily.
Accordingly, the operation control program of the laundry apparatus is downloaded to the mobile phone 200 and the downloaded program is transmitted to the operation control part 110 by using the radio-communication devices 130 and 230. Hence, if the operation control program is installed or stored, the laundry apparatus may be operable according to the new operation control program.
That is, the operation control program may include a new operation mode of the laundry apparatus. As a result, if a new efficient washing course is developed, the user may download the newly developed course to the mobile phone via a wire or wirelessly from the manufacturer of the laundry apparatus, such that the user may transmit the newly developed course to the laundry apparatus.
Therefore, according to the embodiment of the present invention, without an auxiliary remote control, the user may identify the information of the laundry apparatus remote or may control the laundry apparatus.
Furthermore, the laundry apparatus according to the embodiment may receive a new operation control program from the mobile phone having the radio-communication device and the new operation control program may be installed in the laundry apparatus. As a result, changing demands of consumers may be satisfied.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the inventions.

There are a lot of reasons why people decide to ride a motorcycle. There might be a general interest in the culture, inspiration from a friend, wanting to know what it felt like to be on one, and there is always the overall coolness of it all. There are many brands of bikes, styles, sizes of engines, and price ranges. The first question I always ask when someone shows interest in wanting to ride is What are you looking to get from the bike?
Think about that for a second before you continue to read through the rest of my recommendations.
My first urge to get a bike was the ability to work on one and understand the mechanics behind it. I like working with my hands and having a desk job can get old without the proper outlets for expressing what makes you happy. My first bike (shown here) was a 1974 Honda CB360. It looks great, but it didn't run great, and I still work on it today.
It was the perfect bike for what I needed. Having the chance to understand a machine in its basic form and over 40 years old. The Honda was the right bike for me. After a season of not riding and only working on it, I grew increasingly frustrated and decided I need a bike that could take me anywhere and was reliable. Then came the same question again. What are you looking to get from the bike?
My answer, this time, was to be able to take off and drive as far as I needed. Then came my 2008 Harley Davidson Sportster Nightster. Within four months of getting this bike and four months of real riding experience, I rode from Brooklyn, NY to San Francisco, CA.
If you can answer "What are you looking to get from the bike" then you can decide which one is right for you. If you know one day, you might want to wake up and take off, then always think about the function of the bike and don't limit your potential by getting handlebars that only allow you to ride an hour with getting tired or a bike that won't allow you to carry a sleeping bag.


I want to see the world. Follow a map to its edges, and keep going. Forgo the plans. Trust my instincts. Let curiosity be my guide. I want to change hemispheres. Sleep with unfamiliar stars and let the journey unfold before me.
I do, I really do. Although I started to question it as the thunder clouds rolled in, I challenged it as the lightning illuminated the sky and then, when we realised we had lost our way up the mountain, I wanted to rip up the map and go back home for a cup of tea.
You see I was taking part in what turned out to be the most gruelling 48 hour trek of my life – to the high altitude lake of Ala-Kol in Kyrgyzstan. And, carefully folded up in a waterproof folder in the depth of my soaking wet bag, was a single sheet of A4 paper that carried a pledge with the words above written on it.
It is the manifesto of Maptia, a new organisation which plans to help people create their own personal maps of the world, and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to sign it. And, by a rather strange coincidence, I used to wait on tables with one of the founders of the group… almost proof that the world is small and I can follow it to its edges.
So, off we set on our two day trek from Karakol in Kyrgyzstan to lake Ala-Kol, equipped with a hired tent, roll mats, sleeping bags and everything. The sun was shining.
And the boys carried a few bits too.
We strolled along a raging river, surrounded by lush green hills dotted with horses and cows, and after about four hours or so, stopped for a tuna, cheese, bread and biscuit lunch that we felt quite proud of.
Wiping the crumbs from our mouths, we set off again (with Matty's bag two whole tuna-tins lighter). It was here we began the ascent. Over the two days we were to climb (and then drop) 2,000 metres, reaching a maximum altitude of 3,900 metres.
Inevitably the higher we climbed, the shorter of breath we became. I staged plenty of: "Wow, look at this scenery," stops so I could catch my breath.
And it was pretty spectacular.
But it was after about seven hours of trekking (three hours of climbing), when we were on the side of a bare, rocky mountain, that the drizzle started. At first it was just a smattering of inoffensive rain drops, not worth shaking an umbrella at, but they soon started to fall harder and faster.
Lunch felt a long time away, Matty's feet had begun to resemble something of a dead person's (take note: bring waterproof shoes for this trekking malarkey), and as the temperature dropped dramatically, I lost all sensation in my fingers.
We looked up to the rocks above us that we still had to climb, blinking away the freezing raindrops from our eyelashes. I put my white fingers under my armpits in a desperate attempt to warm them up, and even The Mongoose (aka Mountain Boy) seemed to jump from rock to rock with less enthusiasm.
I'm not sure what came first, the huge clap of thunder or the four small words from the Mongoose's mouth: "We've lost the track." Both filled me with an immense sense of dread and a strong urge to cry.
The rain turned into hail and as I pulled the hood of my jacket over my head tighter to shield my face from the hard pellets of ice falling from the sky, Mongoose ran up a few different rocks in a bid to find some red painted stones that might indicate we were back on track. He would return to us, shake his head and try another route.
Headlines ran through my head. None of them were good. I tried to focus my efforts on warming my hands up instead.
The Mongoose was standing at the base of a steep, gravelly route up the mountain with solid rock to his right that he was gripping onto. We still had a way to go. An hour to be precise – although I didn't know it at that point.
I gave my hands one last rub and began the steep ascent to the sound and light show of the Gods above us, muttering darkly under my breath. I don't remember the detail. Only that my feet went numb, the peak felt endless, the thunder got louder and the rain got heavier.
And then suddenly I had reached the top and the lake came into view. And the rain stopped.
And it stopped long enough for us to take this picture, get our tent up, and get dinner going on the stove.
These chilli super noodles tasted better than anything I've had in a long time. Yes, we even chopped up frankfurters for a bit of protein. Get us.
And as we layered up in our remaining dry clothes and huddled in the huge (and now slightly wet) goose down sleeping bags we'd* hauled up the hill, the rain and thunder began again. Our tent was one of those odd ones where the metal roads are on the outside of the canvas, making for a perfect lightning conductor.
While we slept the rain fell heavily and the wind blew furiously – but somehow, in the morning we were all still there. But so was the rain. We woke to a fearsome storm that appeared to have got angrier as the night progressed.
So we sat in our little tent, waiting for it to pass. By this stage I had written the entire front page of our tragic demise. The boys handed me my Kindle and told me to be quiet.
They ventured out to inspect the situation when the rain quietened.
There is a lake beyond that mist I promise.
Eventually at about 10.30am we made a run for it. The rain had eased a little so I strapped socks to my hands and with an air of (perhaps dampened) determination we left the comfort of the tent.
We had our final climb of the trek to complete from 3,500 metres (the height of the lake) to 3,900 metres across the lake and over the mountain behind it – before beginning a long descent.
(Me and Matty having a morning pep talk).
Then, just as we turned a corner, which revealed the rest of the previously hidden lake, the sun came out.
And as it shone down on the lake below us, illuminating the icy glacier behind it, it was as if it also opened my eyes for the first time since the rain had begun. It was stunning, it was beautiful, it was so isolated and rugged and I was incredibly privileged to see it.
The Mongoose turned around and grinned. "Nobody said it was going to be easy," he said with a wink.
No, travelling a map to its edges is not meant to be easy, I thought as I unfolded my Maptia manifesto. But it's going to be beautiful.
*That isn't really my bag, that's Matty's (although it does contain a lot of my stuff). I might have carried a 7kg day pack instead… for reasons discussed here. Oh, and for the record (because this blog speaks only the truth), Clinique moisturiser is an essential trekking item.

Wow, so much greener than I would have assumed the 'stans are. Also, that lake looks like Tongariro in New Zealand.
Do you know what Kristin, this whole country reminds me of New Zealand – perhaps 50 years ago or something. It is the only green stan – the rest enjoy more shades of brown!
I am so in awe of you both. What an adventure! So much respect for your nerve and just getting out there and doing it. See you eventually, until then keep safe. Love Di Glover.

In FOCUS; Write for rights – our pupils steer climate change debate with powerful letters to Prime Minister
Our environmentally aware pupils in Year 5 have spoken up for young people everywhere, after writing to Prime Minister Boris Johnson about the impact of climate change on children's rights across the globe.
Children and staff at school are so passionate about the issue that they have put pen to paper to request that the government upholds its commitment to the United National Convention on the Rights of the Child and takes positive action to support children's rights, internationally.
The letters are part of 'OutRight' UNICEF UK's annual youth campaign that empowers children and young people to promote and protect children's rights around the world. We are just one of 5,000 UNICEF UK Rights Respecting Schools (RRS) across the UK that embed children's rights in their ethos and culture.
One impassioned pupil urged the Prime Minister to take action. One pupil wrote: 'This is our world. We live in it, so help make it a better place.'
Deputy Head Teacher Rhian Warrack said: "Pupils at Hill West are aware of their rights, but we are also developing the children's awareness of wider issues including the rights of children on a global basis, a greater understanding of the social and emotional aspects of learning and the importance of community cohesion and sustainable development.
"Our pupils feel strongly that these are, 'Our Rights, Our Responsibility' and want to make their voices heard, so they have written to the Prime Minister as a call to action. They very much hope that the Government will respond to their request to uphold the rights of children, and Hill West will continue to support our children to make their voices heard."
Dr Warrack explained: "The children described which rights children may not be able to access. For example, if children are living in a country where there is drought, this will cause a lack of access to water (Article 24) and a subsequent impact on children's health so that they may not be able to go to school, impacting on their Right to an Education (Article 28), but also applies to children who are impacted by flooding and have to leave their homes (Article 27) – our pupils were shocked to think that this can happen to children in our own country, as well as to children living overseas.
"I am so impressed by the quality of letters and how passionate the children are about actioning change. They are real ambassadors for children's rights, and I hope they receive a response from Number 10 because this is a campaign very close to all our hearts."
Climate Change Charter
To reduce our consumption of power at school and at home by…
Turning off lights when not needed
Turning off electrical items (e.g. Whiteboards, computers, monitors, phone chargers) when not needed
Using renewable sources of energy wherever possible e.g. air source/ground source heat pumps, solar panels, wind-generation
Using energy efficient appliances
This will reduce carbon dioxide emissions
To reduce our use of fuels which contribute to global warming at school and at home by …
Scootering
Parking and walking
Train/bus/tram instead of car
PROTECTION OF HABITATS AND ENVIRONMENT
To maintain or enhance the removal of carbon dioxide from the environment at school and at home by…
Ensuring that if plants die or need to be removed from their current location, they are replaced by a similar or increased number of other plants
Turn off taps when water is not being used
Placing litter in bins or pockets (if none available)
Reduce, reuse or recycle
Planting new plants pro-actively, or protecting existing plants, that provide food and shelter for other creatures
This will increase carbon dioxide absorption and produce more oxygen, reducing climate change.
To ensure that action is taken to reduce the impact of climate change on the world climate and our environment by…
Speaking out whenever possible at school, at home and in the local community
Taking action against climate change
Writing to local politicians or national politicians to let them know our views

On the 3rd to the 5th of August 2018, the Henty Riding Club held their annual Winter Dressage Championships at the Dardanup Equestrian Centre. This time the competition was held over three days to include a young horse championship for 4, 5 and 6 year olds starting on the Friday.
Tests were provided from preparatory level up to Grand Prix for EA competitor and participant riders as well as competitive pony classes. The FEI classes were well supported with a record number of entries. On the Saturday afternoon Dressage WA held its regional rider's forum which was well attended by many competitors as well as some nibbles and local wine tastings which gave riders an opportunity to discuss the future of dressage in WA.
As is often expected at this time of the year, the weather was pretty wet and wild however those who stuck it out were rewarded on the Sunday with an ease of the conditions and everyone started to dry out! Riders were permitted to wear a light and short rain coat over their jackets to try and keep dry. Despite the rain, the arenas held up very well and organisers spent a lot of time ensuring everything that could be done was done, including extensive grading of arenas and changing arenas wherever possible for better performances each day.
As always, the competition ran smoothly with the aid of some very experienced organisers, helpers and friendly and encouraging judges with two guest judges, FEI 5* Mary Seefried from QLD and FEI 4* Jane Ventura from Victoria. To win a championship above preliminary level, riders had to ride a freestyle to be eligible which made it much more interesting for spectators and fellow competitors in between their classes.
Chief Judge Mary Seefried said "the inclusion of freestyles into championship shows was a very positive one and would encourage this in the future". Henty Riding club had arranged some amazing sponsors for all the classes which certainly made it worthwhile getting wet!

Project Featured on Apr 11, 2014
Educational › University
The Fontys School of Sport Studies forms an important link in the network of sports facilities located in Genneper Parken, Eindhoven. To contribute a sense of liveliness to the 200-hectare sports park, Mecanoo designed an open, social building instead of a traditional closed hall.
The complex is the new meeting place on campus and brings together three courses in higher education that were located in Sittard and Tilburg. Around 2200 students and teachers frequent the school daily to use its state-of-the-art, professional sports facilities.
Most of the sports halls are housed on the first floor inside a sculptural brick roof that appears to hover above a transparent base of glass. This creates an open ground floor that engages dynamically with the green surroundings, invites visitors to come inside and contributes to the feeling of safety in the park.Functioning as a point of orientation for students, a transparent sports hall forms the heart of the school, its sawtooth roof admitting daylight deep into the building. A literal high point is the 15-metre-high rock climbing tower which stands like a beacon at the corner of the building.
The considered layout of the school facilitates maximum interaction between sports and education. Voids, glass and openings allow views of the sports throughout the school.
Simultaneously, the logistics for sports and education are separated, maximising the multifunctional spaces. In this way, the halls can be used before or after school hours by sports associations or for events.

Oral feeding difficulties and dilemmas: a guide to practical care, particularly towards the end of life
A revised guideline will be published Autumn 2020.
Endorsed by the Association of British Neurologists, British Association for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, British Dietetic Association, British Geriatrics Society, Royal College of Nursing and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists.
Feeding is basic to life but it can also be an artificial medical procedure in the power of health professionals. Sometimes it causes dilemmas and strong differences of opinion between patients, relatives and professionals. This report is the result.
It acknowledges the confusion and uncertainty that sometimes surrounds decision-making and practice, including the difficulties of carrying out some of the technical interventions involved.
The report provides evidence-based guidance on the mechanisms and techniques of oral and artificial nutrition in health and disease. It sets out the ethical and legal concerns that provide the framework for decision-making. Case studies then illustrate dilemmas and solutions, for example on deciding whether to withhold or provide artificial nutrition.
The report, which is available to purchase or download as a pdf, is essential reading for all those involved in caring for people who have nutritional and oral feeding difficulties, including gastroenterologists, ward nurses, geriatricians, dieticians, speech therapists, neurologists, care home and community nurses, as well as carers, family and the patients themselves.

Store First Limited was wound-up in the High Court in the public interest by consent between the company and the Secretary of State for the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy.
Also shut down by consent were Store First Blackburn Limited, Store First St Helens Limited and SFM Services Limited.
The storage scheme was promoted by former Top Gear presenter Quentin Willson, who appeared in a Store First video saying that he was always on the lookout for a good investment "like a guaranteed 8% in the first two years and up to 10% in years three and four".
When I wrote about concerns surrounding Store First four years ago, the presenter told me that he had no involvement in the management of the company, insisting: "I've always been led to believe that Store First customers are getting the returns promised otherwise I wouldn't have appeared on their website."
The winding-up orders follow a two week trial in Manchester.

A petition to wind-up a fifth company, Store First Midlands Limited, was dismissed, also by consent.
Store First Midlands gave an undertaking to the court to no longer sell or market store pods as an investment.
The Official Receiver has been appointed as liquidator and said that Pay Store Limited will continue providing services at its 15 sites to allow people to store and remove items while a longer-term solution is found for the business.
Pay Store is a subsidiary of Group First Global Ltd, whose director Ruth Almond said: "The existing management company, Pay Store, will continue to operate the storage business for the benefit of Store First investors, customers and staff."
