Safer road standards adopted by the county
The Montgomery County Council just passed Bill 33-13 entitled Urban Road Standards and Pedestrian Safety Improvements. The bill makes modest changes to the county's road design standards to make our streets better and safer places for bicyclists and pedestrians. It does this primarily by calling for measures to reduce motor vehicle speeds. County road standards are codified in laws and regulations known collectively as the Road Code. The enacted bill updates relevant portions of the Road Code, either by changing the law directly or directing the County Executive to modify relevant regulations.
Here's the executive summary of the bill's stipulations.
Through lanes and turn lanes on urban roads must be no wider than 10′ unless next to parking or a curb in which case they must be no wider than 11′
Parking lanes on urban roads must be no wider than 8′
Curb radii on urban roads must be no greater than 15′ with some exceptions
Target speed on urban roads must be no greater than 25 mph
6′ wide pedestrian refuges must be provided at every intersection on all divided 6-lane roads
All roads must include "complete streets" features to promote safe use by all travel modes, and all roads must serve bicyclists without exception
Two new bikeway types are defined – segregated bike lane (cycle track) and buffered bike lane
Road Code language is made more inclusive of non-car modes
Various corrections and clean-ups made to Road Code language
Note: Many of the provisions may be overridden by the County Executive, County Council, and/or Planning Board for safety or other reasons
State roads are not affected by the standards.
Kudos go to Councilmember Hans Riemer and Councilmember Roger Berliner who sponsored the bill! They worked closely with stakeholders to craft it.
Stipulations of the passed bill are as follows.
Width requirements for urban streets
The bill specifies new requirements for urban roads, i.e. roads in one of the county's designated urban areas. (All areas of the county are designated as urban, suburban or rural, and roadway standards vary accordingly). These requirements may be overridden by the county executive if he finds that public safety would be impacted. These requirements apply whenever an urban road is constructed or reconstructed. A simple resurfacing or restriping project would not have to follow them, but the requirements would still carry significant weight in that case.
"Each through travel or turning lane on an urban road must be no wider than 10 feet, except that a single travel lane adjacent to a parking lane must be no wider than 11 feet and a through travel or turning lane abutting an outside curb must be no wider than 11 feet, including the gutter pan."
This means that a lane next to a bike lane would have to be 10 feet wide. Previously the standards called for 14′ curb lanes on some streets, ostensibly to accommodate bicycling among other needs. But 14′ was not adequate for safe bicycling (as cyclists noted when the original standards were adopted).
"Each parking lane on an urban road must be no wider than 8 feet, including the gutter pan."
Note that 7′ parking lanes already appear throughout the county and are wide enough to accommodate most passenger vehicles. So 8′ is certainly not a hardship.
"The curb radius at the corner of each intersection of two urban roads must not exceed 15 feet except where there is only one receiving lane [or] a curb extension is located…"
Bikeway definitions
Significantly, the bill adds two new bikeway types to the definitions in the law – separated bike lane (cycle track) and buffered bike lane – to reflect the latest advances in bicycle accommodations:
"Separated bike lane, also known as a protected bike lane or cycle track: a bikeway that is physically separated from motor vehicles and pedestrian facilities. The separation may be vertical, such as a curb; horizontal, such as a landscape panel or parking lane; or a combination. A separated bike lane may be in a one-way or two-way configuration."
"Buffered bike lane: a bikeway separated from a motor vehicle travel lane with an area of striped pavement."
These definitions aren't very robust compared to some existing definitions in the code. For example, the type "bike lane" remains carefully defined as "a portion of a roadway designated by striping, signing, or pavement markings for the preferential or exclusive use of bicycles, and on which through-travel by motor vehicles is not allowed." The overarching term "bikeway" is still defined as "any area expressly intended for bicycle travel". But it now encompasses five types: shared use path, shared use roadway, bike lane, separated bike lane, and buffered bike lane. Separated bike lane and buffered bike lane are not meant to be subtypes of bike lane.
Also, the bill updates the definition of shared use path, now saying that it's "a paved path that is typically 10 feet wide but can vary between 8 feet and 14 feet wide, designated for bicyclists and pedestrians, that is separated from motorized traffic by a curb, barrier, or landscape panel". Before the law said it may be 8′-12′ wide (nothing about 10′).
The bill adds the definition of sidewalk, defining it as "a pedestrian walkway that fronts a road." (Per the county code, bikes are still permitted on sidewalks except where prohibited by local jurisdictions, e.g. Gaithersburg, Kensington).
Bikeway mandates
Existing county law states that "Bikeways and walkways must be constructed when any County road is constructed, reconstructed, or relocated". The law previously listed exceptions to this, namely if the facility were determined by the Council or Planning Board to be less safe, not feasible or too expensive for the expected level of use. Bill 33-13 eliminates these exceptions, replacing them with a few limited exceptions that only apply to walkways.
The bill also adds this language to the law: "Each transportation project must incorporate complete streets infrastructure sufficient to promote safe and convenient travel along and across the right-of-way for all users." Be aware that "promote" does not mean "ensure".
Complete Streets Definitions
The bill adds these two definitions:
"Complete streets: streets that are planned, designed, and constructed to enable safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and transit riders of all ages and abilities, commercial vehicles, freight haulers, and emergency service vehicles."
"Complete streets infrastructure: any design feature that contributes to a safe, convenient and comfortable travel experience, which may include such features as…"
The latter definition goes on to list every feature you could think of that benefits non-motorists, including several traffic calming devices. For bikes the list includes shared use paths, bike lanes, separated bike lanes, bike stations, bike storage facilities, and bicycle parking facilities. The bill also calls for consideration of new technologies including bike sharing, etc.
Target Speed
The bill requires that the "target speed" for all urban roads be no higher than 25 mph (previously the law allowed for target speeds of 30, 35, 40 or even higher depending on road type). Target speed is defined as the intended maximum safe speed for motor vehicles given the surrounding land use and desired use by each travel mode, with an emphasis on making it a safe thoroughfare for pedestrians and bicyclists. Target speed dictates design features like lane widths, curb radii, curb extensions, banking in turns, etc. "Design speed" is the resulting safe maximum speed that's actually achieved using these features, which if everything is done right should match the target speed.
Pedestrian refuge requirement
The following requirement for a pedestrian refuge island applies to any road in the county not designated as rustic or exceptional rustic.*
"Every pedestrian refuge must be at least 6′ wide. A pedestrian refuge must be provided at each intersection on a divided highway with 6 or more through travel lanes."
This is the bill's most detrimental aspect, adopted over bicyclists' objections. The provision appears to prohibit median width reduction even if it would free up space for bike lanes or wider sidewalks at locations where pedestrians are unlikely to cross. Our concern is that the provision does not allow for case-by-case judgement.
*Note: Rustic and exceptional rustic are official road designations applied to quaint old roads to keep them looking like quaint old roads, formally exempting them from usual safety standards. MoBike defines rustic (or exceptional rustic) as scenic (or very scenic) roads that are terrifying to ride on wherever traffic volumes have been allowed to exceed anything ever intended for quaint old roads, i.e. everywhere in Potomac. See Glen Road.
Curb Extensions Not Required
The initial bill required a curb extension at the end of every permanent parking lane except where a right-turn lane is designated, but that provision was scrapped. There was also talk of a provision mandating that curb extensions be designed to allow cyclists to pass around, over or through them, but that didn't appear in the final bill either.
Missed Opportunity – Business District Streets
Unfortunately the bill does not modify the existing standards for so-called Business District Streets. This was needed because the current Business District Street standard lacks any provision for bike lanes. The county can and does create business district streets with bike lanes, but only as a "modified" design, a custom configuration. Without bike lanes in the standard, planners and engineers may overlook the option of adding bike lanes or fail to recognize their importance on these streets, which are often the most useful streets for bicyclists.
Miscellaneous updates
The bill adds some rosy language to make the law more inclusive of non-car modes. It makes various corrections or clarifications to existing law.

EMERGING PARADIGMS, TECHNOLOGIES AND INNOVATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: GLOBAL IMPERATIVES AND AFRICAN REALITIES
The quadruple challenges of imploding economies, deepening and widening poverty, climate change, and disappearing environmental assets (natural resources and biodiversity) around the world necessitate a careful rethinking of knowledge platforms and development pathways at global, continental and national scales. With the recent global financial crisis and deepening social and environmental crisis in the past decade, science experts and policymakers alike are united in the search for alternative development paradigms. Major global policy support institutions such as the World Bank (WB), the United Nations (UN), Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) amongst others, now sing the same song "there is need for new paradigms and pathways for economic growth that is inclusive of social and environmental sustainability".
A recent report launched by the World Bank (2012) aptly concludes that, "inclusive green growth is necessary, efficient and affordable,…, the search for solutions needs to shift from the search for more financial resources, to "getting smart". In the same vein, the recent Global Green Growth Summit held in South Korea, re-echoed the collective voice of global leaders that "technological innovations will be central to the creation of a new and more sustainable development paradigm". Many global assessments and reports now converge in the conclusion that having the right kind of science, technologies and innovations is at the heart of sustainable development (UNESCO, 2010, UNEP 2011, UNDP 2012, UNCTAD 2012, World Bank 2012). Be it the first and second carbon intensive industrial revolutions which are now foundering or the third industrial revolution which is now evolving under different nomenclatures (Green Economy, Green Growth, Inclusive Growth, Climate Resilient Economy, Low Carbon Economy, etc.), STI has remained the constant driver of productivity and efficiency gains in economic development history.
In June 2012, world leaders, the academia, the private sector actors and the civil society convened in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil under the auspices of the United NationsUN Conference on Sustainable Development. Reconnaissance surveys in Africa suggested that 20 years after the first Rio conference, stakeholders' expected more proactive and practical actions in addressing poverty, hunger, energy access, energy security, efficient and sustainable resource use and ecosystem management, improved agricultural value chain management, etc. The general feeling amongst policymakers and policy analysts consulted was that the global governance architectures be it in the socio-political, economic or environmental realms still leaves Africa disadvantaged in many ways. This is largely due to lack of political will to implement negotiated agreements and international commitments; global mechanisms and institutions that favour binomial relationships between the global north and the global south with knowledge, technologies and innovations predominantly flowing from the former to the latter; and general inequities in the distribution of skills and capacities for innovation and wealth creation. The Ministers of African States have therefore aptly noted that the critical foundation for sustainable development must include more inclusive global governance; strong and responsive pro-poor institutions for wealth creation, social equity and equality; poverty eradication and environmental sustainability, as well as sustained progress in the achievement of internationally agreed commitments including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). They called on Rio+20 to reinvigorate political will and international commitment to implementing the goals and ideals of sustainable development and urged developed countries to proactively fulfil previous commitments and pledges to help Africa's efforts to achieve sustainable development.
The optimism that the Rio+20 conference outcomes was were expected to deliver greater global commitment to sustainable development and encourage countries of the global north to step up development assistance to African countries was well placed. However, a pragmatic assessment of global development trends and resource potentials suggest Africa is on the move (UNDP 2012), and the technical resource and productivity potentials for green growth is substantial. Huge opportunities therefore exist for home grown development on the continent, but the STI capacities of the African countries to effectively participate in harnessing these comparative advantages remain dismal (Urama et al., 2010). Though Africa's scientific capacities and Gross Domestic Products (GDP) growth have improved during the past decade, technological and innovation capacities remain low and the requisite institutional and governance infrastructures are only just emerging (Urama et al., 2010; UNESCO 2010, UNDP 2012). Whereas there are pockets of success in application of STI including the mobile telephony and telecommunications, among other factors, which contributed to the sustained economic growth in the continent during the past decade, the continent generally lags behind in skills and competencies required to fully reap the benefits afforded by STI for its development. This can be attributed to many factors, but key amongst these are the lack of skills and capacities in the area of STI to guide and foster an African development agenda, inadequate implementation of STI policies and programmes, and limited political commitment.
It is expected that as the world "gets smarter", transitions away from hydro-carbonated industries and natural resource intensive economies will be imperative. Continued reliance on cheap exports of primary resources will not only be environmentally unsustainable and economically inefficient, but also socially unacceptable. Building STI capacities, knowledge systems and structures, knowledge circulation and networks, and effective valorization of STI knowledge will therefore be the bedrock for sustainability of nations in the coming decades.
Africa cannot afford to remain recluse of the emerging global realities and social, economic and environmental challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, deepening water stress, energy price hikes, etc.; neither should she remain a global consumer of knowledge, technologies and innovations in the new global economy, the architecture of which is emerging today. The first Africa Forum on STI hosted by the Republic of Kenya from 1-3 April 2012 and co-organized by African Development Bank (AfDB), African Union Commission (AUC), United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and Association for the Development of Education in Africa (ADEA), called for African countries to, among other things, design STI policies and programs to implement strategies to support inclusive growth, employment opportunities, and sustainable development in Africa.
The international conference and workshops convened by the African Technology Policy Studies (ATPS) and its partners will reflect on a post-Rio+20 futures for Africa. To make good global commitments to sustainable development in Africa, we believe that African countries would need strategic transformative reforms in its knowledge structures (from mono-disciplinary certificate education to trans-disciplinary systems studies, entrepreneurship and innovation capacity development); institutions and governance structures (from neo-colonial knowledge dependence to governance structures that are fully embedded in Africa's socio-political, economic and cultural realities); Agricultural systems research and policy (from focus on incremental productivity enhancing measures to value chain approaches and technologies that may enhance quantum leaps in value addition including on-farm factor productivity improvements, enhanced shelf life and market value of agricultural products); knowledge circulation and networks (to enhance intra-African knowledge flows and networks), and development pathways to enhance transitions towards poverty reduction and wealth creation for inclusive green growth and development on the continent.
As during the previous development eras, Africa has huge comparative advantages in natural capital and renewable energy resources that are the bedrocks for green growth. The scramble for resources in Africa during the previous industrial development eras has little dividends for development on the continent. What must Africa do differently now to ensure proper beneficiation from its natural resources to deliver more inclusive growth on the continent?
Technology enthusiasts argue that unless Africa builds endogenous capacities in science, technology and innovations, it would remain an appendage in the global economy, be it "brown" or "green" growth pathways that are pursued. On the other hand, "globalisation enthusiasts" believe the technology transfers from the global north and increasingly China would help Africa to leap frog the development process, avoiding the huge costs of building required knowledge infrastructures which are obviously expensive. Which way should Africa go and how best should it seek to achieve the transition from where it is now, and where it should go?
Much of the science, technology and innovation efforts in Africa as well as the thinking on green growth strategies are spearheaded and funded by development partners. Only few countries in Africa invest close to 1% of its GDP on research and development efforts. Can Africa take the lead in its development efforts without proactive endogenous investments in science, technology and innovations? What must African governments do to reverse the trend?
African Universities and Colleges of tertiary education have now come of age. However, research evidence show that most of them lack the required funding and skill base to be competitive in the global knowledge market. Global rankings of Universities therefore seldom list African Universities, except a few. What could be done to make African Universities more competitive globally and relevant to sustainable development in Africa?
One of the great assets of Africa is its youthfulness. However, African youths and women and seldom engaged the development process. With high youth unemployment rates and sub-optimal involvement of African youths and women in the African development policy planning and implementation, this great asset is increasingly becoming a ticking time bomb in many African countries. Youth and Women fora initiated in Africa the African Youth Forum for STI (AYFST), and the African Women Forum for STI (AWFST), often struggle to receive financial support from African governments. What could African governments do to optimally engage its youth and women meaningfully in its development struggle?
What roles do you see pan-African institutions whose mandate is to strengthen Africa's STI capacity for sustainable development play in the transitioning process. What relationships should exist between such institutions and Apex policy institutions on the continent such as the Africa Union Commission (AUC), the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD), the sub-Regional Economic Communities, national governments and associated ministries?

Q: QGamepadManager does not detect controller disconnection on ubuntu I am working on a Qt project with a drone. Me and my friends are controlling a drone with a Xbox 360 Controller.
So to detect buttons and axes we have used the QGamepadManager class which is in the gamepadmanager module. It works well ! But we have a problem with this simplified code :
while (true)
{
    if (this->gamepad->isConnected()) {
        cout << "gamepad connected" << endl;
    } else {
        cout << "gamepad disocnnected" << endl;
    }
}

bool GamepadMonitor::isConnected()
{
    return QGamepadManager::instance()->connectedGamepads().size() == 1;
}

On windows, the method isConnected() works well but not on Ubuntu. When we launch the application with the gamepad connected the buttons are recognized and axis too. But the disconnection is not detected. When we launch the application without the gamepad, the connection is not recognized.
I have installed the joystick package. I am on Ubuntu 16.04. I am developping with Qt 5.8.
Do you have an idea ?
EDIT : I add the dmesg output
When I connect the gamepad :
[  330.430405] usb 3-1: new full-speed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd
[  330.575708] usb 3-1: New USB device found, idVendor=045e, idProduct=028e

[  331.622581] usbcore: registered new interface driver xpad

When I disconnect it :

[  392.733995] xpad 3-1:1.0: xpad_try_sending_next_out_packet - usb_submit_urb failed with result -19

A: I would recommand checking if Ubuntu itself detects the disconnection, by looking at the game state, or directly at dmesg output.
As it probably is detecting it, I encourage you to then fill a bug report on Qt tracker :)

This Photo of Grace Coddington with All Her Former Assistants Will Make Your Day
When she's not weaving dreams for the pages of Vogue, Grace Coddington is spearheading fashion's most fabulous sisterhood.

Clockwise from left: Grace with Jessica Diehl, Yvonne Bannigan, Anne Christensen, Brooke Williams, Michal Saad, Lauren Bellamy, Stella Greenspan, and Tina Chai.
For September, our theme was #ForGirlsByGirls, which focused on female creatives and empowerment. For the first time in our brand's 13-year history, our magazine was photographed exclusively by women. To check out our September issue cover story, starring Tavi Gevinson and written and styled by Grace Coddington, go here. And as always, don't forget to pick up your own copy of the magazine, on newsstands August 16th. (But PS — you can subscribe here!)
If you've ever come across a Vogue fashion spread that was so fantastical you had to rip it out and tape it to your bedroom wall (and you have), chances are it was styled by Grace Coddington. Vogue's creative director for nearly 30 years, Grace has become one of the most recognizable fashion-world icons, beloved for her feverish imagination, fire-red hair, and fondness for cats. Lesser known is her role as an extraordinary mentor. To hear her former assistants tell it, Grace is less a boss than older sister, life compass, and brilliant collaborator rolled in one. She is Vogue's dreamer-in-chief, and landing an assistantship with her is the fashion-world equivalent of finding a gold-wrapped Wonka Bar. Those who work alongside Grace learn not only about how she concocts images that are like silent, two-dimensional operas, but how to draw inspiration from sources where nobody else thought to look.
"It's like an endless first date," recalls Mical Saad, who worked for Grace for five years. "You're sitting across a table from somebody who you're in awe of and wanting to please." The table she is talking about is a literal one — Grace and her assistant sit in the same room where they eat lunch together and talk with one another hour after hour.
The job entails ironing out shoot logistics, helping edit clothes, and building storyboards. Her assistant might also find herself scouring the East Village for motorcycles to borrow for a shoot of supermodels in pastel-colored Chanel ball gowns and leather jackets — or helping paint the sheep on Madonna's English estate. Perhaps the greatest perk of the job is traveling with Grace to exotic locations, and acting as an extra pair of hands and feet — and catastrophe-averter. "You're setting up a dinner party and you have to make sure everybody is happy and the principal guest is Grace," Mical recalls.
"There was a lot of contact," recalls Anne Christensen, who worked for Grace for four years in the early nineties and has gone on to style Vanity Fair covers. "She taught me everything. I owe her my career. We're still really close, and there's a camaraderie and mutual respect among everyone who has served Grace."
"You feel like it's this little family," says Brooke Williams, a musician and photographer. "Every once in a while she has a party and she's very inclusive of the people she has worked with. The fashion world can be a very shallow one and people are quick to turn on a dime and change allegiances. Grace is super steady." Brooke recalls answering phones, steaming wrinkles out of couture dresses, and packing trunks for overseas shoots, but it is Grace's work ethic that she thinks back to most often. "She's all in. Grace is so single-minded and it takes that kind of focus to be able to create things that are that sublime. I'm not in the fashion world, but I work harder because of her."
Grace's assistants all bear witness to a passion and determination that undergird her one-of-a-kind imagination and creativity. "She used to tell everybody in the office if they complained about anything, just fight for it!," says Elle fashion director Samira Nasr, who spent nearly three years with Grace. "Being confrontational doesn't come naturally to me, but I think about her all the time I'm marching into somebody's office and arguing for what I believe in. She's forever my mentor, forever my hero." Earlier this year, Grace stepped down to become the magazine's creative director at large. She still works out of Vogue, in an airy office with feline flourishes and a Hudson River view, and she still has an assistant. Actually, now there are two.

I'm definitely excited to see this movie come Thanksgiving. I loved Tangled, and Frozen has similar animation, which looks terrific.
I love the comedy in this one! The snowman Olaf seems like the ultimate comic relief with some hilarious lines to boot!
I know lots of people are complaining that Anna looks way too much like Rapunzel, but I'm inclined to think that all similarities end there. The movie is supposed to focus on the bond between Anna and her sister Elsa, which I look forward to seeing. I never had a sister as much as I wanted one, so I really love seeing the bond that other people have with theirs, fictional or otherwise.
I also think that Disney is exploring uncharted territory in this one with Anna having a betrothed, Hans, but ends up falling for Kristoff instead (according to the spoilers). Similar to Enchanted, I guess, but since that wasn't an animated film per se, I think that this is breaking new ground. Also, if the rumors are to be believed, Anna's hair becomes lighter throughout the movie, until it's as white as Elsa's (the snow queen). Hmmm... not sure what to make of this, but it's intriguing.
Also, since Disney is notorious for hidden clues in their movies, I wasn't surprised to find yet another one. Frozen in based on The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. So naturally these three names appear as three of the main characters - Anna, Kristoff and Hans. I thought that was pretty cool.
Anyone else excited for this movie? Discuss your thoughts here!

Ok… so I finally did get to see Frozen last weekend. I loved it very much, and this is one of my favorite re-tellings of the classic story of the Snow Queen.
I think the storyline was very interesting and innovative, and really highlighted the bond between the two sisters Elsa and Anna. The animation was beautiful, and the two female leads were just awesome. I also loved the third male lead, Kristoff; he and his reindeer Sven, were a hilarious team.
Olaf the lovable snowman provided some hilarious comic relief, and Hans was the naughty, troublemaking Prince. And yes, Anna's hair does turn as white as Elsa's but I won't spoil it all for you, since I want you to enjoy the movie.
The music was lovely, and my favorite songs were Elsa's solo in the ice palace, and the Trolls' song featuring Kristoff and Anna. The latter number was just hilarious, and I couldn't stop giggling.
Overall, I just LOVED this movie, and I would like to see it in the theater again. Can't wait to get this DVD when it's available also. Go watch it, and please discuss your thoughts in this thread!
I just saw the movie today, and it's wonderful. I love how the movie centered on Anna and Elsa's relationship. I'm glad I was able to separate the story from the original "Snow Queen," since that was one of my favorite stories as a kid and I was a bit worried how I'd react to Disney's take on it, but it was so different I could see Frozen as a creation of its own. The story was touching, and it was beautifully animated.
Olaf was so funny. I love the part they meet him and he asks "Who's the funky looking donkey?" And Anna says, "That's Sven," and Olaf says, "And who's the reindeer?"
Anna had me laughing quite a bit too.
I actually like that Anna and Elsa look like Rapunzel. Even the kingdoms were sort of similar, so I thought, is it possible there is a connection? Rapunzel could be Elsa's Granddaughter or something. (Given that both Rapunzel's parents have brown hair it's possible Elsa ended up marrying a brown-haired king). I thought Elsa's hair looked more pale blond than pure white. I like that they had an attractive Blondie female character who wasn't stereotypical for a change.
When Anna was told that an act of true love can save her heart, I was sure it would not be Kristoff or Hans that would save her, rather I thought either she'd preform the act herself for Elsa (as was the case), or Elsa would do it for her. I wasn't disappointed. The sisters' love was the heart and soul of the movie.
Great post, Disney! I completely agree with everything you said.
The sisterly bond is something that Disney has never tackled before, so I'm really glad they decided to embrace this uncharted territory with Frozen. The result was a stunningly animated and heartwarming story, and I really loved it.
I mentioned earlier that I just adored Elsa's solo when she builds the ice palace and truly embraces who she is for the first time in her life. "Let It Go" is performed brilliantly by Idina Menzel (who I've loved since Enchanted), and I couldn't resist posting that movie clip here.
I think we've all dealt with not being able to be ourselves at some point or the other, and I really loved how Elsa was portrayed. There were a lot of parallels that can be drawn between Frozen and many of its Disney predecessors, but the one that really stood out for me was Beauty and the Beast. Clearly, Elsa and the Beast have a lot in common, namely the isolation and being trapped by who they are. The difference is that Elsa learned to grow into her powers and embrace them, whereas the Beast had to let go of his bad habits and turn over a new leaf. And love was the key in both cases, although portrayed as a sisterly love and a romantic one, respectively.
As for Kristoff, since the director of Tarzan also directed Frozen, it's not surprising that one of the male leads was an orphan and brought up by something other than humans; in this case, Trolls. Since Tarzan was brought up by the apes, again, there were lots of interesting parallels to be drawn here.
Finally, I do love your thoughts about the characters in Frozen having some ties to Rapunzel and Flynn/Eugene. I also read online that there is a quick cameo of Eugene in Arendelle, so now I have to go watch the movie again, and see for myself, LOL!
Again, this movie was pure magic, and I can't wait for Disney's next fairy-tale, and hopefully there will be one. I also like the single word titles like Tangled, Frozen, Brave and Enchanted. Maybe this will be the start of another new trend in 3-D animation, all with single word titles. Oooh… the possibilities are endless!
Last Edit: Dec 25, 2013 19:57:31 GMT -8 by Shaliza: Edited for content and spelling.
A Eugene cameo? Really? I have to see this again to find out. I guess that means Rapunzel can't be descended from Elsa, but maybe they are distant cousins or something. Oh, well. It's all speculations.
"Let It Go" was my favorite song in the movie too. Thanks for the clip! cooldealI also think self-acceptance was a matter that needed more attention in Disney, especially regarding female characters.
goodjobI liked the differences between the sisters. Finally, for once, they are not based on "blond versus brunette" or "tomboy versus girly". Rather, Elsa was the down-to-earth, smart, elegant one and Anna was the romantic, funny, klutzy one. Both had traits that made them lovable. Personally, I kind of favored Elsa (though not by much), because I related more to the struggle she was dealing with in the movie, and I like seeing a heroine who has an elegant, aristocratic, but not snobbish air about her. I loved Anna too for the obvious reasons, but I didn't feel she added something new and original the way Elsa did.
I saw the movie again on New Year's Day with one of my best friends, and we both really enjoyed it. I tried to see the supposed Eugene cameo, but couldn't. It probably shot by so quickly that I missed it, LOL. Oh well, I guess that's what the DVD will help with, and I can't wait to own it.
I had also seen a clip on YouTube which stated that the architecture and costumes in the movie were modeled after the culture and buildings in Norway. I was really able to appreciate this in the second viewing of the film, and it was beautiful. Well done, Disney!
I hope I get another chance to see it in theaters. If not, I'll wait for the DVD to see the cameo. I would've thought the architecture would be modeled after Denmark, given that Andersen was Danish. Oh, well. It was still a joy to watch. Maybe they chose Norway to differ from "The Little Mermaid."
Also, since Norway is associated with picturesque winters and beautiful scenery, I think they wanted to highlight this as the setting for the story of the Snow Queen.
Oh, the setting was perfect for "Frozen," I agree. It makes me want to visit Norway.
I read somewhere that Rapunzel and Eugine are present at Elsa's coronation, and Rapunzel's hair is cut. I guess that could mean the girls are distant cousins. Now that Rapunzel is free from the tower, I guess she wanted to meet the other members of her family tree.
WOW... that's pretty cool, and thanks for that information, Disney!
I have yet to buy the DVD thanks to an insanely busy work week, but I'm hoping that I can get it tomorrow. Now that we know which scene Eugene and Rapunzel have a cameo in, I will be watching with an eagle eye, lol!
I also hope that the DVD is loaded with all kinds of interesting trivia about the making of the film, and other goodies. I love this movie so much and am super stoked that it won the Oscar for best animated feature this year. NICE!
And best song (Let It Go). I'm happy it won for both these categories.
The DVD is supposed to come out in Budapest on April 9th, I hope I can get it right away. I envy you for living in the States and being able to get it now.
I found this link that supports the connection between "Frozen" and "Tangled," as well as "The Little Mermaid."
I don't think these theories can be considered cannon, some of them are a bit far-fetched, but the explanation of the connection between "Frozen," "Tangled" and "The Little Mermaid" sounds reasonable to me.
^ Nice... thanks for the information, Disney! That theory is indeed pretty plausible.
And yes, I completely forgot to mention that Frozen won the Oscar for best original song, Let It Go. That's just awesome! I'm so happy that it won in both categories.
BTW... still haven't bought the DVD yet, because of a busy work schedule, and being on call and such. But hopefully I will be able to buy it this week!
I've watched Frozen so many times I lost count. I just love that movie so much!
My only problem was how the villain was kinda shoehorned into the movie. I understand trying to put in a decent villain, but is no Maleficent or Jafar. Everything else though was just perfect. I can't choose who is my favorite character.


Chutney is my new favourite thing to make & eat & I enjoy the fact you can make your own recipes easily & they work! I always thought people who made chutneys were something special but that is rubbish, its so easy, its a shame I have wasted years not making them! Well now I have so much fresh produce to hand its great making all these lovely flavoursome jars of fruit & veg mixes. I just need the room now to store them!
This is a lovely fruity chutney its a bit runny but makes a beautiful sauce to have with meat or salads. Especially nice with Banitza.
This recipe uses Garlic instead of onion as I am intolerant but you can use onions instead!
5 heads of Garlic, if you are not intolerant use 1lb onions instead.
Peel core & chop the apple, de stone the peaches & plums & chop these too. In a very large pan combine all the fruit spices garlic salt & vinegar, cook till fruit has softened, mashing the fruit on the sides of the pan so its smoother.
Add the sugar & stir till it has disolved bring to boil slowly then simmer till thickened & you can see the bottom of the pan when you run a spoon through it.
I am in the middle of cooking the recipe ( 2 1/2 hrs so far ) it's thickening ok . The preparation took me about 3 hrs as I hand chop everything . I like this kind of recipe and your comments about life in Bulgaria as I spent 12 yrs living and working in your next door neighbour Romania . When I arrived there was no Supermarkets and the only place to acquire produce was the local open market . This started me making pickles & chutneys ready for the winter period . This sounds similar to your good self .
Hi Don Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Yes it takes so much time, I too hand chop it takes an age but is so worth it and is made with that little extra ingredient, love. Great to hear from a man who enjoys making chutneys and jams. I hope your chutney is delicious! I bet your life was really interesting in Romania.
I too am intolerant to onion, which includes all the alumni family for me which makes it all the more difficult to add flavour.
Last year I had some success with your chutney, but my wife says I should not have used as much sugar as I did. This year I will try again.
There doesn't seem much "up to date" material on your site, is it still live? I hope so.
I look foreward to your reply.


Approximately 90 % of youth who die by suicide have a mental illness, with more than half having major depression.1 2 Clearly, we can't address youth suicide without effectively addressing underlying mental health issues. In order to do so, we need to understand what mental health looks like.
Mental health and mental illness are not simply at opposite ends of a single spectrum. Young people diagnosed with a mental illness can still have high levels of general mental well-being, while those without a diagnosed mental illness can show low levels of mental well-being. Mental health is best understood as a matrix, where people can move among states of mental well-being regardless of mental illness. They can flourish or languish, depending on individual functioning, social well-being and mental health issues. This model emphasizes that mental health is not simply the absence of mental illness.3 This means that it's possible to have mental health while living with mental illness.

Gaspare Diziani (1689 – 17 August 1767) was an Italian painter of the late-Baroque or Roccoco period, active mainly in the Veneto but also in Dresden and Munich. The artist's canvas is the largest painting of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.

Biography
His earliest training was in his native town of Belluno with Antonio Lazzarini. He then moved to Venice, to the studio of Gregorio Lazzarini and later that of Sebastiano Ricci. His career largely overlapped with Lazzarini and Ricci's fellow pupil, Giambattista Tiepolo, who was seven years his elder.

Between 1710-1720, he painted a group of eight pictures that included the Mary Magdalene for the church of Santo Stefano in Belluno, and Entry into Jerusalem for San Teodoro in Venice. He also painted three frescoes on the Life of Saint Helena in the Scuola del Vin next to the church of San Silvestro. Diziani's celerity and technical assurance are evident from preparatory oil sketches, where color has been applied in rapid and spirited strokes.

He also worked as a scenery painter for the theater and opera in Venice, Munich (1717), and later in Dresden, in conjunction with Alessandro Mauro. Diziani was invited to Rome by Cardinal Ottoboni in 1726, to paint a "magnificent decoration for the church of San Lorenzo in Damaso". This work is now known only through an engraving by Claude Vasconi.

The Sala dei Pastelli  in Ca' Rezzonico has a sotto in su allegorical ceiling fresco of The Triumph of Poetry (Poetry surrounded by Painting, Architecture, Music and Sculpture).

Legacy
Both Tiepolo and Diziani were prolific, although Diziani's commissions, especially the early ones, were more playful bedroom, small salon, and perishable scenographic decorations, works for private ornament while the more eminent Tiepolo was able to attract the more vast ceiling decorations encompassing devotional, mythologic, and allegorical topics beyond and above the quotidian. Diziani does show the influence of Tiepolo, although not the lightness of coloration that the latter had gained from the frescoes of Luca Giordano.

His pupils included Pietro Edwards and Jacopo Marieschi (1711–1794). His son, Antonio Diziani, painted interior and exterior vedute of mainly Venice. He died in Venice.

Public Works
Diziani's "The Sacrifice of Isaac" was displayed at the Muscarelle Museum of Art in an exhibition titled "Curators at Work III" from April 26, 2013 - June 23, 2013

Der Duckwalk () ist ein tänzerisches Show-Element bei Live-Auftritten von Gitarristen (). Er wurde vor allem durch den Rock-'n'-Roll-Pionier Chuck Berry berühmt.
Einige Künstler wie zum Beispiel Angus Young, Gitarrist der australischen Hard-Rock-Band AC/DC, nahmen den Duckwalk in ihr Standardprogramm der Bühnenshow auf.

Beschreibung
Bei der Showeinlage hüpft der Gitarrist in halber Hockstellung auf einem angewinkelten Bein langsam vorwärts, streckt das andere Bein nach vorne aus und schwingt den Unterschenkel dabei in der Luft auf und ab. Das Auf- und Abschwingen des ausgestreckten Beines unterstützt die Hüpfbewegung des anderen Beines. Die Gitarre wird währenddessen mit dem Instrumentenhals nach vorne zeigend, den Korpus seitlich auf der Hüfte ruhend, gespielt. In einer anderen Version läuft Chuck Berry mit beiden angewinkelten Beinen quasi "geduckt" in der Hocke von der einen zur anderen Seite der Bühne. Die resultierende Bewegung sieht im Profil in etwa wie das Watscheln einer Ente aus, daher der Name. Chuck Berry bewegte manchmal auch zusätzlich noch seinen Kopf vor und zurück wie ein Vogel, um die Wirkung der Bewegung weiter zu verstärken.

Ursprung
Allgemeinhin gilt Chuck Berry als Erfinder des Duckwalks. Nach eigener Aussage in einem Interview mit der Musikzeitschrift Rolling Stone stellte Berry 1956 den Duckwalk bei einer Show in New York City vor. Er habe dies getan, um Falten in seinem Seidenanzug zu verbergen, da er sich dem Publikum beim Ausführen des Duckwalk meist nur von einer Seite im Profil habe zeigen müssen. "Es gab Applaus", erinnert sich Berry, "also machte ich es wieder und wieder." Laut der Autobiographie Chuck Berrys entstand der Duckwalk jedoch bereits im Laufe seiner Kindheit, wo er ihn – ohne Gitarre – zur Unterhaltung von Gästen seiner Eltern vorführte.

Jedoch wird der Ursprung dieses "Tanzschrittes" auch auf T-Bone Walker zurückgeführt, der sein Gitarrenspiel schon Mitte der 1930er Jahre mit vielen Tanzeinlagen verband.

The Six Wives & Many Mistresses of Henry VIII
The Women's Stories
Amy Licence
The story of the six wives of Henry VIII from the viewpoint of the women themselves.
For a King renowned for his love life, Henry VIII has traditionally been depicted as something of a prude, but the story may have been different for the women who shared his bed. How did they take the leap from courtier to lover – perhaps even to wife? What was Henry really like as a lover?
Henry's women were uniquely placed to experience the tension between his chivalric ideals and the lusts of the handsome, tall, athletic king; his first marriage, to Catherine of Aragon, was on one level a fairytale romance, but his affairs with Anne Stafford, Elizabeth Carew and Jane Popincourt undermined it early on. Later, his more established mistresses, Bessie Blount and Mary Boleyn, risked their good names by bearing him illegitimate children. Typical of his time, Henry did not see that casual liaisons might threaten his marriage, until he met the one woman who held him at arm's length. The arrival of Anne Boleyn changed everything. Her seductive eyes helped rewrite history. After their passionate marriage turned sour, the king rapidly remarried to Jane Seymour.
Henry was a man of great appetites, ready to move heaven and earth for a woman he desired; Licence readdresses the experiences of his wives and mistresses in this frank, modern take on the affairs of his heart. What was it really like to be Mrs Henry VIII?

Residential Sector The residential sector is considered to consist of all private residences, whether occupied or vacant, owned or rented, including single- family homes, multifamily housing units, and mobile homes. Secondary homes, such as summer homes, are also included. Institutional housing, such as school dormitories, hospitals, and military barracks, generally are not included in the residential sector; they are included in the commercial sector.
Commercial Sector The commercial sector, as defined economi- cally, consists of business establishments that are not engaged in transportation or in manufacturing or other types of industrial ac- tivity (agriculture, mining, or construction). Commercial establishments include hotels, motels, restaurants, wholesale busi- nesses, retail stores, laundries, and other service enterprises; religious and nonprofit organizations; health, social, and educa- tional institutions; and Federal, State, and local governments. Street lights, pumps, bridges, and public services are also included if the establishment operating them is considered commercial.
Industrial Sector The industrial sector comprises manufacturing industries, which make up the largest part of the sector, along with mining, construction, agriculture, fisheries, and forestry. Estab- lishments in the sector range from steel mills, to small farms, to companies assembling electronic components.
Transportation Sector The transportation sector consists of private and public vehicles that move people and commodities. Included are automobiles, trucks, buses, motorcycles, railroads and railways (including streetcars), aircraft, ships, barges, and natural gas pipelines.
Electric Utility Sector The electric utility sector consists of pri- vately and publicly owned establishments that generate, transmit, distribute, or sell electricity primarily for use by the public and meet the definition of an electric utility. Nonutility power producers are not included in the electric utility sector. Although end- use allocations of energy consumption and expenditures follow those guidelines as closely as possible, some data are collected by using different classifications. For example, electric utilities often classify commercial and industrial users by the quantity of electricity purchases rather than by the business activity of the purchaser. Agricul- tural use of natural gas is collected and reported in the commercial sector, rather than in the industrial sector. Since agricultural use of natural gas cannot be identified separately, it remains in the commercial sector in this report. Another example is master- metered condomini- ums, apartments, and buildings with a combination of residential and commercial units. In many cases, billing and metering practices cause residential energy usage of electricity, natural gas, or fuel oil to be in- cluded in the commercial sector. In those cases, there is no basis for separating residential from commercial use. Readers are advised to con- sult the SEDR documentation for specific assumptions regarding the consumption estimates.
Where prices for an energy source and sector are not available, compa- rable prices are substituted. For example, the transportation sector motor gasoline prices are also applied to the commercial and industrial sectors. In some cases, the average of adjacent States prices is assigned to a missing State price. The documentation elaborates on these price assumptions.
Except where specified, it is not generally possible to describe the prices in this report as wholesale or retail. The prices paid in each con- suming sector are actually a combination of both sets of prices, depending on a number of closely interrelated factors, and the data re- flect the combination of prices actually paid by each sector. Almost all residential sector prices are close to retail prices, reflecting the relatively small quantities of individual purchases and the increased costs of extensive, diffuse, and multilayered distribution systems. Similarly, in the transportation sector almost everyone pays the same retail- like price for motor gasoline, regardless of volume purchased or location of purchase.
Conversely, residual fuel oil prices in the transportation sector are certainly more wholesale- like as a result of large deliveries to bulk facilities in major ports. In the same manner, most large industrial and many large commer- cial expenditures can be thought of as near wholesale, frequently involving direct access to a producer or bulk distribution facility for very large quantities. Many smaller industrial and commercial facilities pay some- thing much closer to retail prices as a result of the small quantities involved and their institutional distance from primary suppliers. Nota- ble exceptions to these relationships include natural gas and electric utilities, which typically establish fixed rates for each of several classes of service, depending on representative quantities, service factors, and distribution expenses.

Why Science Says Having A "Type" Is BS
What do you like in a partner? What's your "type?" Tall, dark and handsome? Someone on the shorter side? What about nerdy-cute? Or an animal lover? Perhaps the funny one? Or maybe the girl or guy whose body says, "I work out, but I'm not afraid to party it up on the weekends and eat a slice of pizza or two at three o'clock in the morning?" Whatever your type may be, or whatever you think your type may be, study shows that having a type may not actually exist. Instead, a little thing called revisionist history happens, in which people start dating someone they like and suddenly their preferences change to match the traits of the person they're dating.
Social psychologist, Lorne Campbell of the University of Western Ontario, posed the question, "Do individual's preferences for a romantic partner when they are single reflect the traits and personalities of their actual future romantic partners?" Campbell indicated that there were a vast array of studies that have already been done on interpersonal attraction or partner preferences. So, after some intensive digging, Campbell summarized his research into four key findings:
Key Finding #1: If you ask people in relationships what their preferences for an ideal romantic partner look like, more often than not, their current partner will closely match their indicated preferences.
Campbell suggests that after people enter a relationship, they change their preferences to match the realities of their new partner. He also said that over time, partners can even change each other to match their own individual preferences.
Key Finding #2: When people were given dating profiles to read, they reported to being more attracted to potential partners that better matched their ideal preferences.
This finding suggests the importance of ideals and personality over physical types. However, Campbell noted that since many studies create these "potential" partners, no real relationships can actually grow, making it hard to determine if people's preferences actually predict their choice in partner.
Key Finding #3: There's a lot of overlap between the age people prefer to marry and the age of people they do marry.
Dan Kitwood/Getty Images News/Getty Images
Taken from a sample of participants, it was found that men preferred women that were somewhat younger than themselves, while women preferred men who were somewhat older. After looking at marriage records, it was found that men tended to marry younger women, while women married older men.
Key Finding #4: Just because you like them on paper, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll like them after meeting in person.
In the context of online dating, people's preferences for what they want in a partner does not predict who they actually like after meeting face-to-face. So, while people may have preferences when reading through online profiles, it doesn't indicate how much they'll actually like that person once they meet them.
So, what does this all mean? Do people end up dating their types? Is there even such a thing as having a type? The answer is …
Yes. No. Maybe? It's hard to say. As Campbell said,
"In none of the research mentioned above is it possible to determine if the preferences of research participants assessed when they were not in a romantic relationship were associated with the traits and qualities of their romantic partners after they began a new relationship. Suggesting that the available research provides incontrovertible support for or against the idea that mate preferences matter for actual mate selection is therefore largely speculation."
So, sure, you may find yourself drawn to certain types of people. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you date them. After all, people are just attracted to whoever they are attracted to. Realistically, people will date who they like. Sometimes, who they like completely matches their "ideal" person. Sometimes, they don't. Regardless of whether or not the person you are dating matches the person you want to be dating, there must be something there about them. All that matters is you like them and you're happy. That's all there is to it.

These 3 Signs Are Most Likely To Be In A Love Triangle — Here's Why


GM has had a long history with EVs starting back in the early 1900s. From 1912 to 1917, GM build a line of electric trucks, and then in the mid 1960s they built several electric car prototypes. Based on the Corvair, they were dubbed the Electrovair I and II. Nothing happened until 1996 when GM introduced the EV-1; GM built 1000 of them between 1996 and 1999. General Motors also offered an electric vehicle Chevrolet S-10 pickup during that time. Most recently, Chevy launched the Volt in 2010, and GM is planning to launch the Chevy Spark in mid to late 2013 as a 2014 Chevy Spark EV.
Touted as the first of the 'next generation' of electric vehicles, the Chevrolet Volt is the first vehicle with a long-range, $30,000 price tag. Chevy is no doubt trying to compete with the Nissan Leaf version 2, as well as beat the Tesla Model E to market (which is supposed to arrive in 2017). Full details of a production version of the Chevy Bolt will likely be announced at the LA Auto Show this summer, or the Detroit Auto Show in 2016.
In October 2011, General Motors announced the production of the Chevy Spark EV with sales planned in Korea, select US markets including California and Oregon, and Canada. The production version was unveiled at the 2012 LA Auto Show and will be on sale in early 2013 for $32,500 MSRP. The Chevy Spark EV is the first all-electric vehicle by GM since the EV-1 was discontinued in 1999.


Well first trip in our 97 am eagle . Made to key west with a few small prob. This one I can not fig. Out . The fridge is on a 12 inch pedestal wood ,that has a drawer I can pull out .I see a puddle of water under there that is finding it's way out the side wall and leaking outside . Seems to be coming from the water line running up and under fridge ! How do you get the fridge out to repair . Or is this to big of a job for on the road ? I drilled a small hole in floor for drainage to keep damage to a min. By the way nice koa here . Thanks for any help .
Re: Water leak under fridge.
What brand & model of fridge do you have? Does it have an icemaker?
Absorption fridges get a lot of condensate inside and have a drain line to the backside to get rid of it. Norcolds generally dump it in a pan to evaporate, while Dometics generally have a tube that hangs out the access grill to drip overboard. If you r drain line is plugged, or not draining overboard in the Dometic case, you will get water dripping inside.
Icemaker water lines may leak too. There should be a shut-off somewhere under the galley sink if you havean icemaker water line.
Removal varies with the model of fridge, but generally there are some screws in the back, accessible via the outside door. There may be caulking or foam sealant around the cooling unit at the rear as well.
Find the condensate drain tube for your Dometic and make sure it is leading outside and not dripping water into the interior. RV manufacturers seldom route them outside because it may not look pretty to have a drip down the side from the fridge access door, but they often don't bother to put a drain line down through the floor either.
There are several Dometics models in the Elite series - which one do you have? Here is a link to a service Tip manual that covers most older Elite models. Page 28 talks about the condensate hose. Page 31 begins the icemaker section.
With the hose stuck outside the vent.. it still drips.. ON THE GROUND!
Why did I guess it's a Dometic and not a Norcold?
Norcold it drips into a catch (Evaporator) pan.. NOTE.. If it's a norcold this pan may have cracked or otherwise sprung a leak.. if it has,, Do the dometic thing till it is fixed.

(Amherst, MA –April 28, 2015) –There is a new caterpillar in town! After traveling through 19 states, visiting 16 book stores, and buzzing over 4,500 miles to promote Very Hungry Caterpillar Day, The Carle's new Volkswagen Beetle pulled up to its new home in Amherst in March. A gift from Penguin Young Readers Group, "The Bug" will be a great attraction on-site and en route to outreach and afterschool programs.

This bewitching smock-style blouse truly has it all, beginning with its easy design, flattering cut, and graceful cap sleeves. It gathers additional interest from the colorful embroidery around its button placket down the front, around neck, and on the pockets. Crafted from seasonless 100% rayon challis for the ultimate in wearability, this design takes construction that is reminiscent of a style one could almost call bucolic, and gives it a unique combination of city caché and country cool. Wear with jeans and heels or leverage into a great play off the navy notes to bring some color into a nautical scheme.


You become accustomed to all the sounds that normally occur in your house, but always be sure to take notice if your air conditioner begins making unusual sounds. It may be a strange hum or rattling, or another sound, but if it's not a sound you're accustomed to hearing, have it checked out. If you avoid it, you'll have an increased chance of an emergency AC repair. The professionals at Carefree Heating and Cooling, LLC can help you address a small problem before it turns into a bigger problem.
It's so easy to forget to clean or change your air filter, but it's bad for your air conditioner. A grimy air filter blocks air flow and causes your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to. That makes it less effective and could lead to an increase in your utility bills. Make note of how quickly your filter becomes clogged and set a reminder to swap it regularly.
To guarantee it is operating at its best, your air conditioner requires regular maintenance just like your car does. If you put off this preventive maintenance, it could cost you a lot of issues that could've easily been detected during a maintenance appointment turn into larger issues that lead to an AC repair.
No matter if your air conditioner is new or if you've had it for years, you can do these things to fend off AC repairs. If you want to learn some more tips to help prevent AC repairs, call Carefree Heating and Cooling, LLC in Hamilton at 513-268-5164.

France taken to court over 'climate inaction' in landmark case
By Sandrine Amiel, Gaëlle Fournier and Jack Guy, CNN
A court in Paris will hear a landmark case accusing the French government of taking inadequate action to combat climate change.
The case is part of a lawsuit launched two years ago and the hearing will start Thursday, a judicial source confirmed to CNN.
"Great day for #climate justice," tweeted Greenpeace France, one of the plaintiffs in the case.
The lawsuit was launched by four NGOs, including Greenpeace France and Oxfam France, following an online petition that gathered 2.3 million signatures -- the largest in French history, according to the organizers.
Climate activists took to the streets near the Paris administrative tribunal Thursday morning. Images provided by the NGOs showed a giant banner which read: "We are 2.3 million."
The signatories hope the court will "compel the State to take all necessary measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions" to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) target set by the Paris Agreement, says the online petition.
The Paris Agreement, a pact signed into effect in 2016 by almost all the world's countries, seeks to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) and pursue efforts to limit it to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit).
Currently, the world is set to warm by 2.7 degrees Celsius (4.86 degrees Fahrenheit) by the end of the century, according to the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) -- a non-profit analysis group which tracks government climate action. This will bring more extreme storms, heatwaves, greater sea level rise, and, for many parts of the world, worse droughts and rainfall extremes.
French campaigners also want recognition of "the State's climate inaction, that is to say the non-compliance by France of its commitments."
"Greenhouse gas emissions under this government's five-year term dropped at a pace that was twice as slow as the trajectories foreseen under the law," the NGOs said in a joint statement.
In a legal memo seen by the NGOs and Le Monde newspaper in June last year, the French Environment Ministry denied that it failed to comply with its legal obligations to fight climate change and asked for the case to be dismissed.
One of the arguments invoked by the government is that it cannot be held "solely responsible" for climate change in France, according to quotes of the memo published by Le Monde.
"France makes up around 1% of the world's population and emits around 1% of the planet's greenhouse gases each year," it said.
"A substantial part of this pollution comes from industrial and agricultural activities," but also from "individual choices and decisions which it is not always possible to influence," the memo continued.
CNN has contacted the Environment Ministry for comment.
A verdict in the case is expected within 15 days, the NGOs said in their statement.
Legal action on climate change has become a global phenomenon, according to a report published July 2019. By that date, lawsuits had been launched against governments and corporate interests in 28 countries, according to a report from the Grantham Research Institute at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Researchers found that, while the US was the global leader in terms of climate change litigation, the prevalence of such lawsuits had spread worldwide.
Sandrine Amiel and Gaëlle Fournier reported from Paris, France. Jack Guy wrote from London.

Amazon Is Reportedly Opening Its Own Chain of Grocery Stores
We wonder if a Prime membership allows you to cut the line.
By Megan Friedman
You probably already get half the things in your house from Amazon, whether it's diapers or holiday gifts. But according to the Wall Street Journal, the company isn't just satisfied with that—it now wants to be your neighborhood grocery store, too.
Amazon is reportedly set to expand its Amazon Fresh grocery delivery service by making it more local. The idea, which is under the codename Project Como, is to build small stores that would act more like convenience stores, selling perishable goods like milk, meat, fruit, and vegetables. While there, you could access your Amazon account to order other groceries for same-day delivery. They're also working on drive-up grocery stores, where you could show up with your car, have your license plate read, and have your grocery order delivered to your car.
The idea is apparently to compete with companies like Walmart, which sell billions of dollars worth of food and drinks every year. Walmart has been trying to beef up its online sales and free shipping to compete with Amazon, and it looks like Amazon is working on a grocery strategy to beat Walmart at what it does best. Walmart, for example, is already planning curbside pickup at thousands of its stores.
After being tested in Seattle for years and slowly expanding across the country, Amazon Fresh is already going through a shakeup to make it more affordable, and thus more popular. The service used to have a whopping $299 annual fee, but now will only be $15 a month on top of the $99 annual Amazon Prime subscription. (You can sign up using a 30-day free trial to test it out.) With this service, it's competing with companies like FreshDirect and Peapod for your grocery-delivery dollars.
Amazon declined to comment to the Wall Street Journal about its plans, but it might not be long before you can head to an Amazon brick-and-mortar grocery store. According to GeekWire, the company has been building something mysterious in Seattle, and it looks like it will be the company's first drive-up destination.
