August 2009 eNewsletter

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to our August 2009 eNewsletter.

August was a big month in the Australian water heater market with Rheem Australia releasing their MPs-325 Heat Pump. The new heat pump is a split design, meaning you can now have the money saving benefits of a heat pump system with the heat pump module installed outside and the storage tank inside or outside.

More details and specifications on the MPs-325 can be found on the Rheem Australia website at www.rheem.com.au

Last month I announced my family and I have undertaken to raise money for Can Too, by training for and completing a 9km run through the streets of Sydney on 20 September 2009.

With less than 3 weeks to go before the big run we have almost reached our target of $3000 thanks to your generous donations. Your continued support towards this cause is greatly appreciated.

Feel free to visit the Can Too Run Sponsorship page, enter Poletto_Family in the Participant Search field and donate to help make a difference.


'til next month,

Plumbing: Webster's Timeline History, 2474 BC - 2007 (Paperback)
By Icon Group International

Webster's bibliographic and event-based timelines are comprehensive in scope, covering virtually all topics, geographic locations and people. They do so from a linguistic point of view, and in the case of this book, the focus is on "Plumbing," including when used in literature (e.g. all authors that might have Plumbing in their name). As such, this book represents the largest compilation of timeline events associated with Plumbing when it is used in proper noun form. Webster's timelines cover bibliographic citations, patented inventions, as well as non-conventional and alternative meanings which capture ambiguities in usage. These furthermore cover all parts of speech (possessive, institutional usage, geographic usage) and contexts, including pop culture, the arts, social sciences (linguistics, history, geography, economics, sociology, political science), business, computer science, literature, law, medicine, psychology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, biology and other physical sciences. This "data dump" results in a comprehensive set of entries for a bibliographic and/or event-based timeline on the proper name Plumbing, since editorial decisions to include or exclude events is purely a linguistic process. The resulting entries are used under license or with permission, used under "fair use" conditions, used in agreement with the original authors, or are in the public domain
