WHILST I would like to congratulate James Eelbeck on winning a national prize for his innovative toaster (Is this the best thing since sliced bread? July 7) I cannot help but wonder whether its design flaws make it unsuitable for the mass market. The "Love Toast" appliance has some attractive features - namely it is said to be easy to repair, replace and recycle. The energy savings promised (toasting is said to take half the time and power of a normal toaster) would no-doubt attract 'green' consumers.

Not only are the heating elements exposed by this design, the holding bars for the rounds of toast could also burn a careless person.

Assefa Gebrekidan/The Way We Work Now Camden Arts Centre Nick Hackworth EXHIBITION FOR his first solo show outside his native Ethiopia, Assefa Gebrekidan has filled a gallery with a haphazard array of abstract sculptures fashioned from plastic detritus, titling the installation A Glimmer of Hope. In fact, it's more a collection of glows, whirrings and blasts of heat than a glimmer, for the 3D collages incorporate lights, electric fans and heating elements. Beneath the kooky visual charm lies the hopeful message that in these days of constant reinvention, even junk can have a new life.
WITH this week's blustery weather, it's starting to look like winter means business with shivery days surely not far behind. Before long we'll all be wearing our thickest winter coats, muffling ourselves in scarves and feeling like curling up somewhere warm to hibernate. Winter is a tough time. The dark days seem to sap our energy levels, while eyes and skin can suffer from exposure to harsh elements such as biting winds and dry central heating.
A WARRINGTON firm that pioneered an energy-efficient cooking system has won pounds 40,000 in the regional Shell Springboard competition and is bidding for national glory in London next month. D Heat's system is sprayed directly on to the article that needs to be heated - the hob or back panel of an oven - making it up to 50% more efficient than conventional heating elements.
IF YOU haven't already dug your thermals out from the back of the closet, it's time for a snug clothing search. With temperatures set to plummet, shoppers have been preparing for the big chill with wardrobe essentials to see them through cold spells. But there's only so much clothing can do in the battle against the barometer. Start your winter protection regime from the inside out, to ensure your body is winter-proofed before the weatherman starts pointing to those scary minus degree centigrade signs. "During winter, plummeting temperatures outside, combined with the drying effect of central heating, can lead to dull, tight-feeling skin," explains skincare guru Liz Earle. To prevent this, we need to ensure skin is well hydrated, nourished and protected from the elements." Give your sk...
