Background
A five piece rock band born on april of 2003 comprised of kat-vox, MAJik-bass, gerard-guitars, monx-guitars, and pau-drums. Their music is a monochrome of sound and art that fail the criteria of mediocrity since their music remains nonpareil. "We've chosen not to button down this art that we make and share to others simply because what ever it is that you hear is what you get. For saydie? music is an outlet of reality and the different deliusion and emotions of life, therefore it should be free and abstract."

The website SolarThermalWorld.org is a global knowledge-based web portal for solar thermal professionals, officially launched in 2009.
Managed by the International Copper Association, the website is a knowledge management system, offering the latest news and background information on the development of the international solar thermal sector.
Background
The concept and development of the SolarThermalWorld.org was based on the UNEP and UNDP Solar Water Heating Market Transformation and Strengthening Initiative. This global initiative intends to accelerate the global commercialisation and market transformation of solar water heating, thereby reducing the current use of electricity and fossil fuels for hot water preparation in a number of selected countries.
Objective
The SolarThermalWorld.org project aims to boost the development of solar thermal energy, by providing relevant information on existing solar thermal markets. This information should help setting-up a solar thermal market in countries or regions not having such structures currently.
This unique website forms a worldwide forum for experts on solar thermal technology and those interested in the development of the market. The objective is, hence, to ensure successful market growth in the solar thermal sector by sharing first class examples from around the world.
Content of the Website
Based on the above mentioned, a knowledge management system was conceived around three axes:
*Six Pillars for Market Success: This area focuses on various aspects to be taken into account when developing or setting-up a solar thermal activity: Awareness Raising; Certification; Finance and Incentives; Policy; Standards; Training and Education
*Market Sectors: Nine market sectors, reflecting solar thermal applications, have been identified:
**Air Heating
**District Heating
**Domestic Hot Water and Heating
**Heat Storage
**Pool Heating
**Process Heat
**Solar Cooling
**Solar Thermal Power
**Water Treatment/Desalination
*Geographic Search Facility: Based on the five continents, a geographic search facility has been created.
Features of the Website
Besides daily news and stories on the above mentioned pillars and market sectors, the SolarThermalWorld.org also features:
*Calendar of Events
*Global Solar Thermal Directory
*Incentive Programme Database
*Newsletter
*Thematic Forum
*Webinars

Trak Kart was a 1960s kart design and manufacture business based in Enfield, england, The focus was on racing karts using a
ladder frame design.
Little is known about trak kart's beginnings, but three karts were known to have been built, the Trak-Kart, Trak kart Starfire, and the Trak kart meteor.
and both released within a close timeframe.
Company History
Not much that is notable is known about the Trak kart company, however it is believed that the owner was named Harry Foot.
His contribution towards karting may be small, however some quite revolutionary changes took place during the manufacture of
the karts, these are discussed in the changes section.
Trak Kart
The Trak Kart was the first kart manufactured by Trak-Kart. Nothing is known about this kart other than a reference in the below meteor review. In which it is described as an "Interesting Ladder Frame Design"
Track kart Starfire
The first known trak kart kart was the Track kart starfire. Manufactured in 1962 It was notable for its glass fibre surroundings, and full suspension, This was uncommon, and still is in racing karts. The Starfire was always noted as being too heavy, and not being able to keep up, which spelled the end for its short life. Not much is known about the engine but it undoubtedly a period 2 stroke racing engine, and full details may become
available in the foreseeable future.
Trak Kart Meteor
Background
The Trak kart meteor is a kart also manufactured in the 1960s - and was manufactured in 1963. It was more successful than the starfire due to its lightness, and has more of a complete history. This is due to the survival of one meteor - still in a running condition. The Particular model surviving is stamped with the number 23, and is beleaved to be the model 7T. The Meteor is known to have had two incarnations, Firstly the regular meteor, identifiable because of its frontal fuel tank built into the fibreglass surround. The Second known incarnation is the lightweight model, this had a rear fuel tank mounted above the engine. No known survivors of the latter karts are in existence.
Controversy
The trak kart meteor was undoubtedly one of the more controversial karts of the 1960's. This is largely due to the glass fibre mouldings that make up most of the front and the seat. (See Picture), The front panel has the steering column going through it, and the fuel tank as one piece. This frontal panel also has wells in witch to place the feet of the driver.
Technical specifications
The Kart is Fitted with standard Fastakart wheels, front and back. The back is fitted with full size avon slicks, and the front can be fitted with any appropriate tyre.
The Kart, when new was sold as a chassis (No engine), With a Komet K12c, A J.L.O LK101, or a McCulloch Mac 8.
The Kart has a one inch axle which is keyed along its length.
The Kart has interestingly got room for two throttle guides implying that two engines could have been fitted.
The Kart has a azuza full circle steering wheel.
Surviving Meteor
The surviving meteor is currently in the possession of Oliver Hirst, Amersham, England. Its use is often at race meetings with the British Historic Kart Club, and at camberley kart club. It is currently fitted with a McCulloch Mac 6. (Too early for the kart), and is only 88cc instead of 100cc.
Notability
This companies notability can be established due to it's rarity and interest from the British Historic Kart Club.
This therefore makes this article 'notable'
