Q: Can't figure out the equation in excel Please help, I can't figure out the equation to solve a real-world problem.
Here is the case:  Each employee can pick up the customer if he/she comes to store first (first come first serve).  If he/she make >=12 dollars more than other employees, then rotate to next employee that comes after. If he/she makes < 12 dollars, then continue picking up the next customer.

Come to store:   -----1st  -----    2nd  ----  3rd   ------     4th    -----    5th   ----     6th   ---   7th

Employee name: Apple  --  Bear  --  Conny  --    Donny  --    Elvis   --   Fell     -- Gith

Total $: ---------------33   -----    28   -------     20   -------      23  -------      22   ----     15  ----      2

Who turns next?
It should be: -------- 2nd   ---    3rd  ------    4th    ------     5th  ------    6th ----      7th    -   1st

As you can see, It is Gith turn to pick up the next customer, Gith only made 2 dollars, the difference is >=12 dollars between Gith and other employees.
It is Apple turn after Gith even though Apple made more than Fell >=12 dollars, but because other employees in between like Conny Donny Elvis who doesn't make >=12 dollars more than Fell, so it is Apple turn.
How can I come up with an equation that could solve this situation?

A: Here is one answer.  Fill in C4,D4,E4,F4,G4,H4,I4 with the following to know if you should skip them:  (C3 at the start should be the cell right above, ie D4,E4 etc..)
=IF(C3>(LARGE($C3:$I3,2)+12),"skip","")

Then fill in C5 with the following to know if someone is jumping out of order:
=IF(SMALL(C3:I3,1)<(SMALL(C3:I3,2)-12),INDIRECT(ADDRESS(2,2+(MATCH(SMALL(C3:I3,1),C3:I3,0)))),"Next non-skip")

What we don't know:  Who served someone last?
Edit: return name of person jumping out of order rather than dollar amount.

A: Following your shared table..
Fill in there labels :
B6  ---->  currentNo :
B7  ---->  nextNo :
B9  ---->  Next Name :

Then these formulas :
C6  ---->  =MATCH(C2,{"Apple","Bear","Conny","Donny","Elvis","Fell","Gith"},0)
C7  ---->  =IF(C3>=12,IF((C6+1)=8,1,C6+1),C6)
C9  ---->  =INDEX({"Apple","Bear","Conny","Donny","Elvis","Fell","Gith"},C7)
D2  ---->  =C9

Then drag all right-wards.
Done.  Hope it helps. ( :

As Republican leadership seeks to undermine the Affordable Care Act and impose cuts to Medicaid, Eva's story reminds us how critical LTSS are in allowing people with disabilities to live independently in the community and pursue meaningful work.
Eva Sweeny is a gender queer woman in her thirties who resides in Pasadena, California. She is a non-verbal wheelchair-user due to quadriplegic spastic cerebral palsy and her list of professional and personal accomplishments seems to get longer by the minute.
Her most recent professional success is her role as a Consultant for the hit TV show on ABC, Speechless. One of the main characters on this program is non-verbal teen with a physical disability that is portrayed by an actor with a physical disability. Eva's job is to make sure that the character is being represented in an authentic fashion and the storylines are not inadvertently ableist. In addition to being a Consultant on the show, Eva's letter board that she uses to communicate was the inspiration behind the communication system used by the disabled character.
Eva acknowledges that a factor in her success is the support of her Aides, also known as Personal Care Attendants or PCAs. This vital service that she relies on is made possible because of Medicaid-funded home care services, also referred to as Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS), which are offered through the California Department of Developmental Services. She finds her Aides on Craigslist and also through home health agencies. Without these invaluable individuals to assistance in helping her with the basic necessities like bathing, eating, and getting to work on time, she would not have the freedom to pursue her goals and succeed.
Since Eva's Aides are such an integral part of her day-to-day life, it makes sense that her relationships with them sometimes becomes the focus of her work as a writer, producer, and filmmaker.
In 2012 Eva wrote and produced a lighthearted yet down-to-Earth documentary entitled, Respect: The Joy of Aides. This short film serves as an excellent educational tool for both Aides and those who employ them. Plus, her fun and witty personality shine through from the beginning to the very end, in which she is 'walking' her dog with the assistance of an Aide.
Before she delved into film and television, Eva authored her first book called, Queers On Wheels. One valuable topic she addresses in this book is the importance of having an Aide who is open-minded and accepting of having a queer client. Eva has traveled the country promoting Queers on Wheels and enjoys teaching workshops based on her book's content.
Eva is always pushing herself forward and setting goals as fast as she reaches them. There are two major factors that fuel her determination. First, all those who have told her that she can't or is unable to live the life she chooses, compels her to prove them wrong. Second, in recognizing that many talented people with disabilities are handed a similarly grim outlook on life, she plans to become more involved in advocacy and continue to promote positive representation of people with disabilities in the media.

Transforming humanitarian action
What the CanDo community achieved
Since its inception in 2016, CanDoers have already built the world's first crowdfunded hospital.
We've raised over £1million through 11 campaigns, helping over 580,531 people.
Not bad for just a few years right? These crowdfunded campaigns have helped health-based projects into fruition and they continue to deliver. Thanks to CanDoers, Hope Hospital provides life-saving medical support to over 4,000 children each month, an innovative mushroom-growing project has provided vital sustenance and income to thousands of people in Eastern Ghouta, a trained field team is supporting and counselling approximately 200 women every 12 weeks in group counselling sessions, and over 10,000 more children have read magazines that teach them strategies to protect themselves and cope during times of shelling, bombing and violence.
And how much of people's crowdfunding contributions went directly to support these projects?
CanDo makes a real impact and saves lives because we put our belief and resources into local people and local solutions – our vetted network of trusted local humanitarian organisations. Together, we take risks and go where others won't. We are not afraid to take on challenges to support our local partners in their work to save more lives.
After a children's hospital was bombed out of existence, in just two weeks 5,000 people from across the world came together to build the WORLD's first-ever crowdfunded hospital. Three months later, Hope Hospital opened.
Be more CanDo
We are now crowdfunding three new campaigns to support partners doing lifesaving work with war-affected communities. Our partners are the beacons of light in the darkness of war. Will you help their light shine brighter?
Together we are powerful...

Meet Hiba....
"we talked about my feelings of guilt at leaving my son. That feeling was literally killing me every day"
A siege trapped Hiba and her son in Eastern Al-Ghouta, quickly running out of money and regularly in danger from shelling. After she managed to smuggle her son out to be with his father, Hiba suffered from trauma, depression and health issues that led to a near-fatal stroke.
Until she found Insan (Arabic word for human) and their 12 Step programme, Hiba was isolated indoors, scared of shelling and feeling unable to communicate. With encouragement from one of the female field team, she learnt strategies for processing and coping with the emotional and physical trauma of living through war. Now she utilises these strategies in her daily life and is encouraging her family and friends to do the same.
Hiba was supported by Insan, a non-profit organisation that offers psychosocial support to Syrian refugees and training for those working in refugee camps. With funding and support from the CanDo community, Insan was able to train their female field team which is now supporting and counselling approximately 200 women every 12 weeks in group counselling sessions.

Meet Ahmed....
"after I read about unexploded bombs and how this could be dangerous, I understood why my family have prevented me from playing outside"
13 year old Ahmed used to love playing outdoors after school. But his parents banned this after unexploded shrapnels and bombs hurt other children.
Bored and frustrated, when he was given a copy of Tayara Warak - the colourful children's magazine from CanDo partner Hurras designed to teach children to protect themselves during shelling, bombing and violence - he was excited to read it.
Not only does Ahmed have indoor entertainment now, but he understands why his parents were so insistent he stayed inside. Ahmed is safe and looking forward to the next edition of Tayara Warak.
The CanDo Community funded Hurras' development, printing and distribution of three new issues of the magazine that reached and entertained 11,600 children like Ahmed.

Mateusz Paleolog Asen (gr. Ματθαῖος Παλαιολόγος Ἀσάνης, ur. ok. 1405, zm. 29 marca 1467) – bizantyński arystokrata.

Życiorys
Był synem Pawła Asena. W 1441 jego siostra Teodora poślubiła Demetriusza II Paleologa. Mateusz po raz pierwszy pojawia się we wrześniu 1423 roku, kiedy był został wysłany jako poseł do króla Zygmunta Luksemburskiego. W 1442 roku brał czynny udział wraz z Demetriuszem II Paleologiem w tureckim nieudanym oblężeniu Konstantynopola. Obaj zostali aresztowani na rozkaz cesarza Jana VIIII Paleologa. Udało się im uciec do genueńskiej Galaty. Od roku 1454 do 1458 był bizantyńskim gubernatorem Koryntu (aż do czasu przejęcia władzy nad miastem przez Turków). W 1460 był posłem Demetriusza do sułtana Mehmeda II. Został wtedy uwięziony. Po likwidacji despotatu Morei przez Turków kolejne siedem lat mieszkał w razem z rodziną Demetriusza. Zmarł w ubóstwie 29 marca 1467 roku. Jego wnukiem był prawdopodobnie Tomasz Asen Paleolog

NEW YORK - Two major airports reopened and the floor of the New York Stock Exchange came back to life Wednesday, while across the river in New Jersey, National Guardsmen rushed to rescue flood victims and fires still raged two days after Superstorm Sandy.
For the first time since the storm battered the Northeast, killing at least 59 people and doing billions of dollars in damage, brilliant sunshine washed over the nation's largest city - a striking sight after days of gray skies, rain and wind.
It was clear that restoring the region to its ordinarily frenetic pace could take days - and that rebuilding the hardest-hit communities and the transportation networks that link them together could take considerably longer.
The scale of the challenge could be seen across the Hudson River in New Jersey, where National Guard troops arrived in the heavily flooded city of Hoboken to help evacuate thousands still stuck in their homes and deliver ready-to-eat meals. Live wires dangled in floodwaters that Mayor Dawn Zimmer said were rapidly mixing with sewage.
Thousands of people were still holed up in their brownstones, condos, and other homes in the mile-square city is across the Hudson River from New York.


Brain dumps on programming, cryptography, and computer related stuff.
where p is the characteristic of the ring you're working with. Simple, right?
If you're working with a field with prime order, then Frobenius is actually the identity map. Since the order of the multiplicative subgroup is p, when you raise to the power of p you get back to x due to Fermat's little theorem. Things get more interesting when you're working with a extension field (i.e. a field which order is a prime power).
I'm studying pairings for my master's degree and the Frobenius endomorphism appears all the time in their computation. For example, you need to do a "final exponentation" which can be split in multiple exponentiations, and some of them are to the power of p. This is good because powering to p is "easy" due to Frobenius, or at least all the papers I read said so. But for a while I couldn't see why, and that's the reason I'm posting this. It's really easy; it's just not that obvious to see why.
When working with finite fields, if the number of elements is a prime power with m > 1, you can represent the elements as polynomials with degree m-1 and do the field addition and multiplication modulo a irreducible polynomial with degree m.
The rows, top down, represent 0 to 4. The columns, right to left, represent 0 to 4. Each square is the result of the addition of the respective numbers in the row / column it belongs to. Black is 0, purple is 1, red is 2, orange is 3, yellow is 4.


A white lawmaker's racist social media post was swept under the rug.

Augusta Commissioner Bill Fennoy said Tuesday that he doesn't regret using the N-word during a commission meeting the previous week, and the Commission has no plan to censure him, WJBF-TV reported.
This all stems from newly appointed Commissioner John Clarke using the N-word in a 2014 Facebook post. Angered that it was swept under the rug, Fennoy used the word three times while quoting Clarke's social media post, at a Nov. 6 Commission meeting that was open to the public.
Fennoy accused Clarke of lying about someone hacking into his Facebook page and posting the racial slur. The post was about the 2014 police shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in which a white officer killed the Black teenager.
"Don't want to be called ni**ers they shouldn't act like ni**ers," Fennoy said at the meeting, quoting Clarke's post.
Clarke claims to not recall writing the post but has taken responsibility for it, adding that it was a dark period in his life.
Commissioners can vote to censure fellow members of the body, which it has done four times, according to WJBF-TV. But that didn't happen this time.
"I don't think the censure thing would do anything but stir up more controversy," incoming Commissioner Brandon Garrett said.


At some point in the 1980s, my family got cable and not too longer afterwards we got the Disney Channel. Back then their programming was not as robustly originally as it is today. So they would show old cartoons and other Disney movies and programming from the past. It was heaven.
One of the obsessions I picked up during this period was for Disney's Davy Crockett starring Fess Parker. I would always make sure I scheduled my time around broadcasts of the show using my handy Disney Channel guide. My fandom was extreme enough that I even tried to get my friends into Crockett, but for some reason they just didn't find the same enjoyment that I did in this frontier hero.
My mother, who lived through the original Davy Crockett mania that swept the nation back in the 1950s, told tales of how kids would wear raccoon skin hats and leather jackets just like in the movies. I fantasized of proudly walking around in a fringed buckskin coat and fending off river pirates who were damaging commerce heading into the trading post of Manhattan. Sadly no one was selling anything like it in my suburban town. Which is probably good, because I think wearing something like that to my school would have not been received well. You should have been with me when I work a shirt that some described as "pink". It was light red people!!!
I have pretty much given up on my frontier hero dreams nowadays, but occasionally, when I see a site like Hake's selling an amazing and original Davy Crockett jacket from the 1950s, those old familiar feelings return. Suddenly I am no longer wrestling with a programming issue, but with a bear in the dense forests of some frontier bygone age.
In 1981, Disney released this ambient audio dream of an album and I have been listening to it ever since.

Дифенгидрами́н («Димедро́л») — антигистаминный препарат первого поколения.

Димедрол входит в перечень жизненно необходимых и важнейших лекарственных препаратов.

Физические свойства
Белый мелкокристаллический порошок горького вкуса; вызывает онемение языка. Гигроскопичен. Очень легко растворим в воде, легко — в спирте и хлороформе, очень мало растворим в эфире. Водные растворы (рН 1%-го раствора — 5,0…6,5) стерилизуют при +100 °C в течение 30 мин.

Фармакологическое действие
Дифенгидрамин является одним из основных представителей группы антигистаминных препаратов, блокирующих Н1-рецепторы. Он обладает выраженной антигистаминной активностью. Кроме того, он оказывает местноанестезирующее действие, расслабляет гладкую мускулатуру в результате непосредственного спазмолитического действия блокирует в умеренной степени холинорецепторы вегетативных нервных узлов.

Важной особенностью дифенгидрамина является его седативное действие, имеющее некоторое сходство с действием нейролептических веществ; в соответствующих дозах он оказывает снотворный эффект. Является также умеренным противорвотным средством. В действии дифенгидрамина на нервную систему существенное значение имеет наряду с влиянием на гистаминовые рецепторы (возможно, Н3-рецепторы мозга) его центральная холинолитическая активность.

При совместном приёме дифенгидрамин усиливает действие депрессантов, таких, как алкоголь, фенобарбитал и препараты бензодиазепинового ряда. Также в экспериментах на крысах установлено, что дифенгидрамин усиливает обезболивающий эффект, индуцированный морфином, но не эндогенными опиоидами.

Фармакокинетика
Дифенгидрамин хорошо всасывается при приёме внутрь. Проникает через гематоэнцефалический барьер.

Показания к применению

Дифенгидрамин применяют в основном при лечении крапивницы, сенной лихорадки, сывороточной болезни, геморрагического васкулита (капилляротоксикоза), вазомоторного насморка, ангионевротического отёка, зудящих дерматозов, острого иридоциклита, аллергических конъюнктивитов и других аллергических заболеваний, аллергических осложнений от приёма различных лекарств, в том числе антибиотиков.

Как и другие антигистаминные препараты, дифенгидрамин применяется при лечении лучевой болезни.

При бронхиальной астме дифенгидрамин относительно малоактивен, однако его можно назначать при этом заболевании в сочетании с теофиллином, эфедрином и другими лекарственными средствами.

Иногда дифенгидрамин применяют при язвенной болезни желудка и гиперацидном гастрите, однако значительно более эффективными при этой болезни являются блокаторы Н2-рецепторов.

Дифенгидрамин (так же как и другие блокаторы Н1-рецепторов) может быть использован для уменьшения побочных реакций при переливании крови и кровезамещающих жидкостей, при применении ферментных и других препаратов.

Применяют также дифенгидрамин при хорее, морской и воздушной болезни, рвоте беременных, синдроме Меньера. Терапевтический эффект препарата при этих заболеваниях может найти объяснение в его седативном и центральном холинолитическом действии. По противорвотной активности более эффективной по сравнению с дифенгидрамином является его комплексная соль с хлортеофиллином (дименгидринат).

Применяют также дифенгидрамин как успокаивающее и снотворное средство самостоятельно и в сочетании с другими снотворными. Назначают внутрь по 1 таблетке (0,03 или 0,05 г) перед сном.

В анестезиологической практике применяют как составную часть литических смесей (см. Аминазин).

Пути введения
Назначают дифенгидрамин внутрь, внутримышечно, в вену, местно (накожно, в виде глазных капель, на слизистую оболочку носа); вводят также ректально. Под кожу не вводят из-за раздражающего действия.

Дозы
Внутрь назначают таблетки взрослым по 0,03—0,05 г 1—3 раза в день. Курс лечения 10—15 дней.

В мышцы вводят 0,01—0,05 г в виде 1 % раствора, в вену — капельным методом 0,02—0,05 г дифенгидрамина в 75—100 мл изотонического раствора натрия хлорида.

Детям дифенгидрамин назначают в меньших дозах: до 1 года — по 0,002—0,005 г, от 2 до 5 лет — по 0,005—0,015 г, от 6 до 12 лет по 0,015—0,03 г на приём.

Свечи с дифенгидрамином вводят в прямую кишку 1—2 раза в день после очистительной клизмы или самопроизвольного очищения кишечника. Детям в возрасте до 3 лет назначают свечи, содержащие по 0,005 г дифенгидрамина; от 3 до 4 лет по 0,01 г; от 5 до 7 лет — по 0,015 г, 8—14 лет — 0,02 г.

Высшие дозы для взрослых внутрь: разовая 0,1 г, суточная 0,25 г; внутримышечно: разовая 0,05 г (5 мл 1 % раствора), суточная 0,15 г (15 мл 1 % раствора).

Лекарственные формы для местного применения
Для закапывания в конъюнктивальный мешок применяют 0,2—0,5 % растворы (лучше на 2 % растворе борной кислоты) по 1—2 капли 2—3—5 раз в сутки.

Иногда дифенгидрамин применяют в виде крема или мазей (3—10 %), изготовляемых в аптеке, для смазывания кожи при зудящих дерматозах. Следует при этом учитывать, что дифенгидрамин всасывается через кожу и при смазывании больших поверхностей может вызвать интоксикацию: сухость во рту, затруднение дыхания, возбуждение, спутанность сознания'.

При аллергических вазомоторных, острых ринитах, риносинусопатиях назначают дифенгидрамин в нос в виде палочек (палочки с дифенгидрамином, Bacilli cum Dimedrolo), содержащих 0,05 г дифенгидрамина на полиэтиленоксидной основе. Можно также пользоваться приготовленными ех tempore мазями и каплями.

Формы выпуска
 порошок;
 таблетки по 0,02; 0,03 и 0,05 г;
 ректальные свечи с дифенгидрамином по 0,005; 0,01; 0,015 и 0,02 г (свечи с дифенгидрамином предназначены для применения в детской практике);
 палочки по 0,05 г;
 1 % раствор в ампулах и шприц-тюбиках

Побочные явления
При приёме дифенгидрамина внутрь в связи с его местноанестезирующим действием может возникнуть кратковременное «онемение» слизистых оболочек полости рта; в редких случаях возможны головокружение, головная боль, сухость во рту, тошнота. Побочные явления проходят самостоятельно после отмены препарата или уменьшения дозы. У аллергиков с пониженной гемоиммуностью (индикаторы С3 и С4, например при волчанке) может оказать серьёзное давление на селезёнку, в том числе и отрицательно сказаться на лимфатических узлах.

В связи с влиянием препарата на ЦНС могут возникнуть сонливость и общая слабость.

Из-за седативного и снотворного действия дифенгидрамин нельзя назначать для приёма во время работы водителям транспорта и другим лицам, профессия которых требует быстрой психической и двигательной реакции. Кроме того, димедрол противопоказан нарколептикам, так как может в значительной степени нарушить регулярный режим сна уже с первого применения, и вызвать у таких пациентов каталептические припадки.

В сочетании с алкоголем и в больших (от 300—500 мг) дозировках может вызывать бред и галлюцинации.

При передозировке может возникнуть отекание конечностей, летальный исход.

Пациенты с повышенным риском
Дифенгидрамин применяется с осторожностью у пациентов, предрасположенных к задержке мочи, с гипертрофией предстательной железы, бронхиальной астмой или хроническим бронхитом в анамнезе, повышением внутриглазного давления, гипертиреозом, сердечно-сосудистыми заболеваниями, c гипертонией. Используется с большой осторожностью у пациентов с глаукомой, стенозирующей язвенной болезнью, пилородуоденальной обструкцией, симптоматической простатической гипертрофией, с обструкцией шейки мочевого пузыря.

Хранение
Ранее - список Б.

В плотно закупоренной таре, предохраняющей от действия света и влаги; таблетки и ампулы — в защищённом от света месте; свечи — в сухом, прохладном, защищённом от света месте.

Злоупотребление дифенгидрамином

При приёме больших доз дифенгидрамина или употреблении с алкоголем возможно развитие делирия, сопровождающегося бредом и галлюцинациями.

I'm tempted at trying the DCB1 in my system again. I had one before but to me it sounded a bit edgy when driven harder. It sounds like ( pardon the pun ), that this isn't an issue with the ones that I've seen you all build here.
I subsequently found out that the board in the one I had wasn't the best so I'd be keen to try one again as I have a buyer for my Velleman valve pre amp so might be short of a pre soon lol.
Does anyone have one I could borrow? I'll pay post both ways of course.
If I liked it could someone build me one and if so how much would a finished one be?
Let me know if you'd like another dcb1, i still have spare boards and parts.
Could have ine built and posted in 3 days !!!

Just an idea of price.
Thanks for that, I'll give it some thought. If I sell my Velleman I might give it a try.

Five Days Apart: How Two Neighbors Bonded Over Life-Changing Injuries
BY MORGAN WOLFE, KSL TV
SYRACUSE, Utah — After a career that spanned decades in the FBI, Kirk Francis found himself picking up new hobbies during his retirement. The father and grandfather always wanted a motorcycle, but his wife never allowed it while their children lived at home.
"It took some convincing to get the bike," he said after his wife, Dalene Francis, finally gave him that green light.
His love for riding grew after each road trip he went on, many of them with his neighbor from down the street, Greg Frei.
One July day last summer, the two went with a group for a quick ride in Salt Lake City. Kirk Francis took a tumble at an intersection, but dusted himself off and did what he always did — kept riding.
"I knew something was off. He wasn't riding like himself," Frei said.
Frei believes Francis might've gotten a concussion at that intersection tumble, but that wasn't the end of it.
"I just will never forget that the sites and the sounds — they were horrible," Frei said.
While riding on Interstate 15 in Layton, Francis didn't see a semi-truck slam on its brakes in front of him, and he hit the back of the trailer.
Frei and the rest of the group pulled over as fast as they could.
"The sounds of his bike hitting the semi, and I can still hear the cars screeching, praying that he doesn't get run over," Frei said.
Frei performed CPR on his friend until paramedics arrived. Francis was taken to the hospital and eventually flown by helicopter to a Trauma 1 hospital in Salt Lake City.
"I really truly think that had it not been for his efforts that I wouldn't be alive today," Francis said about Frei.
Francis had an angel looking over him that day, and one riding next to him. But a grim diagnosis came his way a few days later when he found out he was paralyzed from the neck down.
"I try not to focus on what I can't do but what I can do," Francis said with a smile.
He survived a crash that most people wouldn't have, according to his doctors. A traumatic event that unfortunately was followed by another crash that would impact Frei's life.
"There accidents were five days apart, so it's still very heavy on my mind," Frei said.
Less than after week Frei witnessed his friend's crash, his youngest daughter was in a car that was hit by a drunk driver. Sarah Frei ended up having to have her legs amputated from the crash.
"My focus since July has been on Sarah," Greg Frei said.

As his daughter recovered, she began rehabilitation at the University of Utah, where a few doors down she ran into her neighbor.
"(Francis') eyes got all watery when he first saw me," Sarah Frei said.
Recovering from traumatic injuries isn't an easy feat, and it bears heavily on many people. Francis tried to keep his spirits up, and Frei helped him.
"She is always smiling," he said. "It just shines through."
The two families that lived four doors down from each other for 20 years never thought they'd come together through such tragedies. Through their trials, they were able to lean on one another for support.
"I think that's where I get a lot of strength is from these good people," Dalene Francis said.
Kirk Francis was grateful for his family, and the Freis — who have grown to become part of it.
"Realizing how fragile life can be and realizing how good people truly are when they see you're in need," Francis said.

Intruder Break-in At Madonna's London home
March 18, 2011 by Affleap
An intruder break-in at Madonna's London home while the singer and her children were in the United States for the pop singer's grandmother funeral.
The intruder, Grzegorz Matlok, a Polish national who is believed to have stalked Madonna before he was discovered by Madonna's security team and wrestled him to the ground.
The intruder broke in through a window of the singer's Marylebone home. He has been charged with burglary.
The 29-year-old Polish national appeared in court in Westminster and prosecutors claimed he had arrived in Britain from his native Poland hours before the alleged break-in.
According to prosecutor Punal Chopra, Matlok, as he was interviewed, he rang the doorbell but he has not received an answer, so he climbed up through the balcony using a rope that he brought it with him.
He then entered the bedrooms and disturbed the bedclothes particularly the bed belonging to Madonna. He explained to police that he had traveled from Poland with the specific intention of meeting Madonna who he believes he has an intimate relationship with, according to reports.

When you have a clogged or slow-running drain, plunging should be your first course of action. Plunging creates pressure that forces a clog to move, allowing water to push it through your plumbing and out of the way. Since plunging involves no caustic chemicals or direct contact with pipes, it's unlikely to cause any damage to your plumbing system. By learning the right way to use a plunger, you can get your drain moving again!
Clamp the hose to your dishwasher if you have one. You may not be able to create adequate pressure to loosen the clog if your sink is attached to a dishwasher. Use a clamp to close off the hose going from your sink drain to the dishwasher. Place the clamp as close to the pipe as you can get it.
If there is no dishwasher attached to your sink, then don't worry about this.
Tip: If you will be plunging a bathroom sink, then it might have a stopper and that will get in the way of plunging. You can remove the stopper and replace it after plunging, or a different option for unclogging the sink.
Remove any visible debris from the sink before you plunge it. Food waste and other debris in the sink may get in the way of plunging, or even make the clog worse. Remove the waste and throw it away before you start plunging.
You may want to put on a pair of rubber gloves before reaching into the sink, especially if the water is dirty or has been standing for a while.
Fill the clogged sink with 3 to 4 in (7.6 to 10.2 cm) of water. You need water up above the level of the drain to create a tight seal with the plunger. If the water is not already 3 to 4 in (7.6 to 10.2 cm) above the drain, turn on the tap and fill up the sink to this level.
It does not matter if the water is hot or cold. However, hot water may help to loosen a clog that is due to grease.
Never pour drain chemicals into a sink with standing water! The chemicals will not help to undo the clog. They will just sit in the water and produce fumes, which can be dangerous.
Stuff a dishcloth into the other drain or overflow hole in your sink. If you are going to plunge a 2 drain sink, then you will need to block off the other side to create enough pressure. Get a rag or dishcloth, wet it, and push it into the drain. If the sink has an overflow hole, shove a wet rag or dishcloth into that hole.
You may also want to hold the cloth or rag over the drain or overflow hole as you plunge. This will help to ensure that it will not pop out once you begin plunging.
Put on protective eyewear, an old t-shirt, and rubber gloves. Plunging can be sloppy work, and clogged sinks often have food waste and other remnants in the standing water. Before you begin plunging, put on a pair of goggles or other protective eyewear to prevent water from splashing into your eyes. You can also put on an old t-shirt a pair of rubber gloves if desired.
Don an apron to protect your clothing if you do not want or have time to change your shirt.
Roll the plunger over the affected drain to get water into it. Don't put the plunger straight down over the affected drain. This will trap air in the plunger, which is not ideal. Instead, tilt the plunger and put 1 end against the edge of the drain. Then, roll the plunger around the drain to form a tight seal over the drain and get water inside of the plunger.
If you can see into the water, look to see if the edges of the plunger are covering the edges of the drain.
If you cannot see into the water, try plunging up and down a few times to see if the plunger is making contact with the area around the drain. You will feel resistance when you plunge if the plunger is positioned properly. If it is not, then there will be no resistance.
Plunge straight up and down over the drain for 20 seconds. Hold the plunger handle about 6 in (15 cm) from the top with 1 or both hands. Press the plunger up and down over the drain vigorously for about 20 seconds.
Do not tilt the plunger as you do this or you may lose suction.
Warning: Never plunge a sink if you have poured chemicals down it! The chemicals can splash on your skin as you plunge the sink and cause chemical burns.
Pop the plunger straight up and off the drain to create extra pressure. After 20 seconds of plunging, pull the plunger straight up and off of the drain to remove it. You should hear a pop as you do this, which is due to the pressure from the plunger and may help to loosen the clog.
Do not roll the plunger off of the drain as you did when you put it on.
Check to see if the water drains and repeat if needed. After you have finished plunging and taken the plunger off of the drain, watch to see if the water flows again. If the clog is loose, the water should flow freely down the drain. If the clog is still in place, the water will remain standing or it may trickle very slowly.
If the water does not flow freely, then repeat the process. You can repeat plunging as many times as you like, but if the clog does not come loose after the first few times, you may need to try something different, such as cleaning out the p-trap or using a snake to remove a deep clog.
Why does an orange or lemon clog up a garbage disposal?
Because the skins are thick and spongy. They just bounce around like rubber balls until they get caught under a cutter.
What if the garbage disposal starts to leak from the bottom when I'm plunging the other sink?
You just have an extra cheap disposer that's not built for any pressure at all. As long as it still works after clearing the clog and doesn't drip anymore, you're all set.

Michael Gerber suggests that most entrepreneurs start their business because they are good at doing something, a technical skill. However, this means that as the business grows and entrepreneurs recruit people to work for them, they then begin to face the challenge of managing a team but often have had little or no formal training in how to do this.
One of the key challenges for business owners is understanding the different people in their team which can be made easier by carrying out an individual analysis of each persons working strengths and motivators. To create a high performing team it is important to understand the type of team that you want and the make up of the skills you need to maximise your business success.
Another important aspect of retaining your good employees is to help them feel connected to your business and its success. one of the ways we can help you do this is through us co-ordinating an independent team feedback and action planning process.
Finally, when you are working with a diverse group of people, it is also inevitable that sometimes communication between employees can falter and relationships can become strained or even broken. For many reasons it is important to deal with these issues timely and if necessary we can offer mediation support.

HBO fixes Harry Potter reunion special after fans spot series of mistakes
HBO Max has shared a brand new model of the reunion special Harry Potter twentieth Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts after fans and forged members alerted the streaming large to mistakes within the unique.
Shortly after the one-off present's launch on New Year's Day, many Twitter users pointed out {that a} image of actor Emma Roberts was used throughout a section about Emma Watson, who performed Hermione Granger within the franchise.
"Well spotted Harry Potter fans!" the special's producers responded in an announcement. "You brought an editing mistake of a mislabeled photograph to our attention. New version is up now."
A second error was spotted by Harry Potter star Oliver Phelps, who performed George, one of the Weasley twins.
The unique model of the special had misidentified the actor as his equivalent twin brother, James Phelps – who performed the opposite Weasley sibling, Fred – and vice versa.
"I guess after all those pranks over the years somebody decided to get their revenge," Oliver Phelps quipped on Instagram. "It was fantastic to be part of the HP reunion. Hope you all enjoyed it."
Tom Felton, who portrayed Draco Malfoy within the movies, jokingly wrote within the remark part: "It was my doing." He added a snake and lion emoji to symbolise the rivalry between Slytherin and Gryffindor, the Hogwarts homes of the Malfoy and Weasley clans.
(YouTube / Warner Bros)
"This is legit hilarious," added Matthew Lewis, who performed Neville Longbottom. "Dude. Wtf? Haha."
The new model, now out there on HBO Max, contains the proper labels for the Phelps twins.
Return to Hogwarts celebrates 20 years for the reason that first Harry Potter movie was launched in 2001. It options interviews and conversations between the forged in regards to the making of the movies, the relationships that developed on and off-screen, and the worldwide significance of the franchise.
Earlier this week, fans joyfully reacted to Watson recounting the moment she "fell in love" together with her Harry Potter co-star Felton.
In her four-star review for The Independent, Roisin O'Connor wrote that probably the most "magical" moments in Return to Hogwarts have been spawned from the youthful forged candidly describing their experiences on-set.

The Young Wild held a record release show to celebrate the release of their debut EP, For Now Not Forever at the Irenic last Thursday. Formally known as Family Wagon, The Young Wild stripped their old identity and stepped on stage with their new name and new songs oozing with the confidence of seasoned professionals.
Before The Young Wild stepped on stage, fellow San Diegan natives of Dr. Seahorse had a chance to drop some serious beats. Lead singer Trevor Davis was formally on NBC's The Voice and for good reason, the man can sing and he isn't afraid to show it. Davis busted out on stage with his powerful, soulful voice accompanied by his band mate, Mark Suhonen's bouncing club beats.
What happened next was hard to explain, but for the entire set Davis channeled a mix of Michael Jackson and Mick Jagger in his at times spastic dance moves. It was obvious that most of the crowd was unfamiliar with Dr. Seahorse, but once they preformed a very convincing cover of "Man In The Mirror" Davis had the crowd enchanted with his '80's self-described "electro-swag".
The Irenic is a famous and beloved church by day and all-ages concert venue by night and the crowd that came to see The Young Wild was seriously all ages. With ages ranging from 5 to 50, it was not your typical rock-n-roll crowd. The Young Wild was determined to make even their performance all ages, lead singer Bryan Bangerter invited his 15-year-old bass student to perform on stage during "Not A One". The sow closed with The Young Wild performing their single, "Moment Goes" with two of Bangerter's guitar students that were up way past their bedtime.
If you've seen The Young Wild's trolley performance video of "Moment Goes", then you'd probably expect a soothing acoustic set, but that was not the case. The Young Wild has everything is takes to be a good modern rock band, loud drums, catchy guitar, smooth bass, a cute backup singer, and some quality keyboard for good measure. They're a promising group with a new name and fresh EP ready to start touring with Barcelona, I was just lucky enough to see them in such an intimate venue before they take off.

$10,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest of the criminals who are burning down Canadian churches.
The Surrey Fire Service were unable to save the St. George Coptic Orthodox Church from being destroyed in a fire early this morning.
Emergency services were called around 3:30 a.m. to respond to the Whalley neighbourhood church, which also houses a daycare for 65 children.
The three-alarm fire involved 10 fire trucks and 32 firefighters to extinguish the flames at the church, originally built in 1960. Only a north-side wall remained standing.
A church member, speaking with CTV News, reported that in surveillance video from last Wednesday at 2:30 a.m., a woman can be seen approaching the church's front door and lighting it on fire. The church reported the fire and the RCMP has opened a file.

Le Patio Bastille is located between Place de la Bastille and Place de la Nation, giving easy access to the most picturesque districts in Paris. Bastille, the gateway to the Marais, is just a 10 minute walk away. In the Marais you can discover the Picasso Museum, with works from all the artist's periods, and the Carnavalet Museum, which tells the fascinating history of Paris. And don't miss Victor Hugo's house!
You can check out the modern Opéra Bastille, wander through winding medieval streets in Village Saint Paul or Ile Saint-Louis, admire Place des Vosges, window-shop on Rue des Francs Bourgeois or plough on to Notre Dame. The metro whisks you to the Eiffel Tower or the Arc de Triomphe, and there is a direct train to Disneyland Paris. The choice is yours.


If two of the greatest marijuana meccas, California and Holland, decided to merge, the result would be this outstanding Amnesia Kush cannabis seed. And it's true that this strain, born from the cross of an Amnesia Haze and an OG Kush, brings together the best each of these cannabis traditions could offer: the taste, strength, and vigour of an OG Kush with the Sativa potency, the Haze personality and the yield of the Amnesia lineage. At Dinafem Seeds, we knew that, with such amazing genetics, there was no way we could fail, and we were right. Amnesia Kush is a cannabis jewel that brings a brand-new nuance to the Amnesia family, but not only that. She's also a living proof that the combination of premium genetics always gives way to unparalleled beauties.
Amnesia Kush turns into large cannabis plants with the shape of a Sativa but some Indica traits as well. For instance, her internodal spacing is not as ample as in a 100 % Sativa plant and her leaves are clearly Indica-like, with wide, elongated leaflets. Amnesia Kush grows rather vigorously, both sideways and upwards, developing lots of branches as a consequence of the OG Kush legacy.
Amnesia Kush is a heavy-yielding plant that produces generous crops of thick, dense buds. She's a great choice if you're a commercial grower.
Another major feature of Amnesia Kush is her complex mix of tastes and scents. She preserves some of the wild citrusy and Kushy aromas of OG Kush but adds a deep Haze touch to them.
Amnesia Kush is an extremely potent marijuana plant with THC levels sometimes exceeding 20 %, depending on the pheno. Those users unaccustomed to consuming cannabis or with limited tolerance to THC should proceed with caution because her mind-blowing and long-lasting Sativa-like effect can turn out to be overwhelming. Initially cerebral and deeply physically relaxing in the end.
Amnesia Kush is a really grateful marijuana plant. In exchange for very little attention, she delivers incredibly bountiful crops that are unlikely to be hit by moisture, due to her sturdiness. Thanks to her Sativa genetics, she doesn't store water, which is why she's so suitable for humid or tropical climates.
The biggest issue, if you can call it that, is her amazingly vigorous growth that could be inconvenient for those lacking space or those wishing to grow without raising any attention. In fact, she could easily reach heights of 3 metres outdoors, so beware. In order to control her growth when cultivating indoors, we recommend limiting her vegetative stage to a maximum of three weeks.
Although Sativa-dominant genetics tend to be far greedier than Indica plants, a standard diet should be enough. If we fail to respect this, she may not produce the so-coveted delicious range of flavours she's so famous for. And last but not least, remember Amnesia Kush gives off a super-intense aroma that might require the use of potent carbon filters indoors.

Un réfrigérateur est un meuble ou une armoire fermée et calorifugée dont la température est régulée par réfrigération indépendamment de la température extérieure (cuisine, chambre froide, pharmacie, laboratoire).

Dans un réfrigérateur, un compartiment principal maintient une température inférieure à . Un deuxième compartiment peut avoir une température plus basse, soit un  à glaçons, soit un compartiment à  appelé congélateur.

Le nom frigidaire couramment employé comme synonyme de réfrigérateur, est un onomastisme formé sur la marque Frigidaire, créée par General Motors, aujourd'hui propriété du groupe Electrolux. En revanche, le terme frigo du langage familier, abréviation de frigorifié ou frigorifique, n'est pas lié à une marque.

Étymologie

La réfrigération (du latin , froid) est généralement le refroidissement d'un corps par le transfert d'une partie de sa chaleur. Les applications sont la conservation des aliments, l'abaissement de la température de boissons pour les rendre plus agréables à la consommation

Description
La fonction d'une machine de réfrigération est de prendre de la chaleur du côté basse température en produisant une évaporation du fluide frigorigène qui se condense par la suite sur la paroi du fond de l'appareil et de la rejeter à l'extérieur grâce à la grille située derrière l'appareil, en utilisant une énergie externe pour entretenir le processus. Un réfrigérateur est une pompe à chaleur généralement animée par un moteur électrique, mais il est également possible d'employer les sels eutectiques, ou des procédés sans aucun moteur tel que l'absorption ou l'effet Peltier.

Thermodynamique

Les réfrigérateurs sont des pompes à chaleur dont la plupart (comme ceux qui équipent maisons et voitures) utilisent un cycle de changement de phase. Ce procédé fait tourner un cycle de Carnot pour transférer de la chaleur de la partie à refroidir vers la partie qui sera réchauffée. Le compresseur est la pompe du circuit, qui permet de faire circuler le fluide réfrigérant. Ce cycle se déroule en quatre temps :

 Compression : le réfrigérant à l'état vapeur est compressé et sort du compresseur à haute pression et haute température ;
 Condensation : la vapeur très chaude (et compressée) passe dans un condenseur (ou échangeur de chaleur) où elle va céder de la chaleur au milieu ambiant (l'air de la pièce), ce qui va lui permettre de se liquéfier, c'est-à-dire passer de l'état vapeur (gazeux) à l'état liquide ;
 Détente : à la sortie du condenseur le liquide sous haute pression est détendu en faisant baisser rapidement la pression dans un détendeur (en faisant circuler le fluide au travers d'un orifice). Cette subite baisse de pression a pour effet de vaporiser une partie du fluide. Le réfrigérant est à présent à son état le plus froid du cycle ;
 Évaporation : le fluide réfrigérant à présent froid et partiellement vaporisé circule dans un échangeur de chaleur (évaporateur) qui se trouve dans l'ambiance à refroidir. Il soustrait de la chaleur au médium (air) pour refroidir celui-ci. En absorbant de la chaleur, le réfrigérant s'évapore complètement (passage de l'état liquide à l'état gazeux).

Il existe aussi un procédé plus complexe, à deux fluides, où le compresseur est remplacé par une source de chaleur : par exemple le réfrigérateur à absorption de gaz. Ce procédé est exploité lorsque l'électricité ou la force mécanique manquent, alors qu'une source de chaleur est disponible (caravanes, frigos solaires…) ou lorsque le bruit doit être le plus faible possible (chambre d'hôtel par exemple).

Histoire
Avant l'invention des réfrigérateurs, on conservait les denrées périssables dans une pièce spéciale, le cellier, généralement orientée vers le Nord. L'usage se développa aussi, particulièrement à la Renaissance, de stocker la glace découpée l'hiver sur les étangs, dans une glacière. Il s'agissait d'un trou fermé par un couvercle isolant dans lequel on alternait des couches de paille, ou de sciure de bois, et de glace. Comme « l'air froid » descend et que « l'air chaud » monte, l'orifice de remplissage se situant en haut, la température basse se maintenait et une partie de la glace, ainsi stockée, se conservait jusqu'à l'été.

Il existait aussi le leytès, également appelé cabenère, niche à lait, frigo à lait qui était un frigo servant à conserver le lait au frais après la traite et avant la descente au lieu de vente.

Des inventeurs tentèrent de fabriquer de la glace artificielle à la fin du  et au début du . En 1755, l'Écossais William Cullen obtient un peu de glace par vapeur d'eau sous « cloche à vide » et en fit la première démonstration publique en 1756.

En 1834, Jacob Perkins, un Américain, invente la première machine frigorifique fonctionnelle. Puis un peu plus tard, Perkins est crédité du premier brevet de réfrigération utilisant le cycle de compression de vapeur, attribué le . Le système de la machine était l'utilisation de l'éther dans un cycle de compression de vapeur. Cette idée serait venue en premier d'un autre inventeur américain, Oliver Evans, qui avait conçu ce système en 1805, mais qui n'a jamais fait construire son projet.

En 1850, Ferdinand Carré invente une machine frigorifique à l'eau et à l'ammoniac.

La première utilisation industrielle d'une machine frigorifique est celle de James Harrison en 1851, lorsqu'il a fabriqué un système de réfrigération à compression de vapeur (). James Harrison était un imprimeur écossais, émigré en Australie, qui avait acheté une entreprise de presse. Alors qu'il nettoyait des caractères à l'éther, il remarqua que le liquide refroidissait fortement le métal en s'évaporant. Harrison eut l'idée de comprimer l'éther gazeux avec une pompe pour le transformer en liquide, puis de laisser l'éther liquide revenir à l'état gazeux en provoquant un refroidissement. Harrison mit ce système en œuvre dans une brasserie australienne, où le gaz froid d'éther était pompé dans des tuyaux qui circulaient dans le bâtiment. Il utilisa le même principe pour fabriquer de la glace en faisant passer dans de l'eau les tuyaux refroidis par l'éther gazeux. Mais il fit faillite en 1860 car la glace naturelle qu'on importait par bateau d'Amérique restait moins chère.

Réfrigérateur moderne
En 1858, le Français Charles Tellier crée la première machine frigorifique à circulation de gaz ammoniac liquéfié, permettant la production de froid à usage aussi bien domestique qu'industriel. En 1865, il construit une machine à compression mécanique à gaz liquéfié. Ces inventions permettent la réfrigération industrielle (dès 1865) et le transport réfrigéré, notamment par bateau (navire frigorifique) : le premier navire équipé de systèmes de réfrigération à l'éther méthylique selon les principes de Tellier a été le Frigorifique, entré en fonction en 1876.

Cette même année 1876, l'Allemand Carl von Linde invente le réfrigérateur domestique tel que nous le connaissons aujourd'hui. Une des premières utilisations de la réfrigération domestique a eu lieu au domaine de Biltmore à Asheville (Caroline du Nord), aux États-Unis, autour de 1895. Le principe de l'invention de Linde permet de fabriquer industriellement en 1913 le tout premier réfrigérateur domestique, le « Domelre », pour , par Fred W. Wolf Junior de Chicago. En France, les premiers réfrigérateurs font leur apparition en 1952, les « Domelre » en provenance de Chicago.

Le réfrigérateur à absorption de gaz, qui se refroidit par l'utilisation d'une source de chaleur, a été inventé en Suède par Baltzar von Platen et Carl Munters en 1922, alors qu'ils étaient tous deux étudiants à l'Institut royal de technologie de Stockholm. Leur invention permet de produire du froid à partir d'une source d'énergie telle que le propane, l'électricité ou le kérosène. En 1923, la production de leur réfrigérateur à usage domestique commence par l'intermédiaire de la société AB Arctic. En 1925, AB Arctic est achetée par Servel (unité d'Electrolux), qui commercialise ses produits dans le monde entier, notamment aux États-Unis où elle dépose le brevet d'invention le . Servel est pendant de nombreuses années le seul producteur de ce réfrigérateur aux États-Unis. Aujourd'hui, il est utilisé dans les maisons non reliées au réseau électrique, dans des camping-cars, ou les chambres d'hôtels, car il ne produit aucun bruit.

Albert Einstein et son élève et collègue Léo Szilard brevettent en 1930 un réfrigérateur utilisant du butane, de l'eau et de l'ammoniac.

Ce n'est qu'en 1925 que seront fabriqués les premiers réfrigérateurs tout en un, contenant la même glacière ainsi que le moteur, le compresseur et le condenseur (le dernier trio était auparavant séparé, à côté, ou en dessous du réfrigérateur). De 1890 à 1929, les réfrigérateurs utiliseront des gaz toxiques comme réfrigérants: par exemple l'ammoniac (), le chlorométhane (.) et le dioxyde de soufre (). En 1928, un ingénieur américain, Thomas Midgley développe les chlorofluorocarbures (CFC), en particulier le fréon (CCL2F2), comme substitut à ces gaz toxiques. Ce n'est qu'en 1973 que les chimistes américains Frank Sherwood Rowland et Mario Molina réaliseront l'effet néfaste des CFC sur la couche d'ozone de la planète, conduisant au protocole de Montréal en 1985. Le premier gaz réfrigérant utilisés pour remplacer les gaz CFC (R12, R22) dans les réfrigérateurs domestiques est le R134a.

L'isolation des premiers frigidaires était en liège. Comme il n'y a pas de forêts de liège aux États-Unis Les États-Unis faisaient venir le liège d'Espagne et du Portugal. En 1897, l'ingénieur chimiste américain Charles Corydon Hall développe un processus de conversion du calcaire fondu en fibres qui devient un matériau isolant, et lance à partir de 1902 l'industrie de l'isolation en laine de roche en Amérique. Le produit — le liège s'appelant cork en anglais, le produit de Hall s'appellera donc « Rock Cork » — est moins cher que le liège importé, et il est ignifuge et résistant à la vermine. À l'époque où il fabrique ce matériau isolant, les principaux utilisateurs d'isolants sont les brasseries, les distilleries et les entrepôts frigorifiques. Ces entreprises sont sceptiques quant au nouveau matériau isolant car il ne ressemble pas au liège . Néanmoins l'entreprise de Hall prospère et la Frigidaire Appliance Company utilisera une grande partie de ce qui sera produit par Hall pour ses réfrigérateurs.

Réfrigérateurs domestiques

Généralités

Les réfrigérateurs domestiques se composent généralement de compartiments de refroidissement et de congélation et peuvent avoir quatre zones de température :  () (congélateur),  (viandes),  () (réfrigérateur) et  () (légumes), pour le stockage des différents types de nourriture. . Seul le « volume utile » (dit aussi « volume net ») indique la capacité de stockage, par opposition au « volume brut ».

La température adéquate pour un réfrigérateur est de  à l'étage du milieu.

Le point le plus froid est l'étage inférieur () situé au-dessus du bac à légumes. C'est l'endroit où mettre la viande et le poisson frais.

Les œufs, les produits laitiers, la charcuterie, les restes, les gâteaux et les produits portant la mention « à conserver au froid après ouverture » sont à positionner sur les étages du milieu (4 à ) et sur l'étagère du haut ().

Les bacs en bas (jusqu'à ) sont destinés aux fruits et légumes susceptibles d'être endommagés par de trop basses températures.

Les compartiments ou les étagères à l'intérieur de la porte sont les parties les plus chaudes du réfrigérateur (10 à ), elles sont destinées à recevoir les produits qui se satisfont d'une réfrigération légère : les boissons, la moutarde et le beurre.

Depuis la fin des années 1950, plusieurs modèles de réfrigérateurs sont de type « sans givre » et possèdent un système réfrigération/congélation par circulation d'air avec un évaporateur situé dans un compartiment isolé des autres compartiments pour la nourriture et un système de dégivrage automatique utilisant des éléments chauffants. Ce système  a pour conséquence une uniformisation de la température, un refroidissement plus rapide de l'air après ouverture de la porte, un assèchement accéléré des aliments non couverts et une augmentation de la consommation par rapport au système classique de dégivrage automatique.

.

Quelques modèles incluent un système pour avertir d'une panne de courant, avec une fonction de mémoire qui alerte l'utilisateur de la coupure en faisant clignoter l'affichage de la température. En appuyant sur une touche d'information, l'utilisateur est informé de la température maximale atteinte pendant la panne de courant, et sait si les aliments surgelés ont été décongelés ou s'ils risquent d'avoir développé des bactéries dangereuses.

Les anciens réfrigérateurs utilisaient le Fréon comme réfrigérant qui fait partie de la famille des CFC qui détruisent la couche d'ozone. Après la ratification du protocole de Montréal, ces fluides ont été remplacés par le R134a ou autres (HCFC). Aujourd'hui, la majorité des fabricants européens d'électroménager ont opté pour l'isobutane (R600a).

En 2019, plus de la moitié de la production mondiale est situé à Foshan en Chine.

Fonctionnement
Le réfrigérateur à compression (domestique) fonctionne selon un principe qui consiste à évaporer un fluide frigorigène (tel que les CFC : R12, R22 ou actuellement R134a et R600a) qui se trouve généralement à basse pression dans un circuit fermé. Cette évaporation provoque le refroidissement du fluide frigorigène car il s'agit d'un processus endothermique. Le fluide frigorigène est ensuite à nouveau compressé pour redevenir liquide dans le condenseur ; il s'agit d'un processus exothermique, la chaleur générée est évacuée à l'arrière du réfrigérateur. Le fluide frigorigène décrit un cycle perpétuel fermé, le fluide est recyclé indéfiniment.

Types
Les réfrigérateurs domestiques se déclinent en plusieurs catégories :

Types de froid
Il existe trois types de froid : statique, brassé (ou dynamique) et ventilé (ou « no frost »).

Classes climatiques
La  ambiante idéale de fonctionnement d'un réfrigérateur dépend des classes climatiques :

Si la température est très en dessous de la plage de fonctionnement, le moteur peut stopper et si la température est au-dessus, on observe une inefficacité.

Efficacité énergétique
La technologie des réfrigérateurs a fait énormément de progrès en quelques décennies. Aux États-Unis, leur consommation unitaire est passée de  en 1974 à  en 2001. Lorsque les  de réfrigérateurs américains seront aux normes d'efficacité énergétique, l'économie d'électricité sera de .

Autres types
 Le réfrigérateur à absorption de gaz, utilisé dans les chambres d'hôtel du fait de son fonctionnement silencieux et les camping-cars.
 Le réfrigérateur à effet Peltier, qui équipe les appareils les plus petits, dont les glacières électriques.
 Le réfrigérateur thermoacoustique.
 Le réfrigérateur magnétique.
 Le réfrigérateur à moteur Stirling.
 Le réfrigérateur pot dans un pot.

Développement moderne

Réfrigérateur écologique
Il existe des réfrigérateurs plus respectueux de l'environnement destinés aux pays en voie de développement. Un tel réfrigérateur repose sur le fonctionnement du réfrigérateur à absorption mais utilise le soleil comme générateur. Il est intéressant car il n'utilise que le soleil comme source d'énergie, ce qui fait de lui un réfrigérateur idéal pour le tiers-monde.

Technologies
 Chlorofluorocarbures (CFC) (fréon en général)
 Pompe à chaleur
 Réfrigération magnétique

Camions frigorifiques

Des camions frigorifiques sont utilisés pour transporter les denrées périssables, comme les aliments surgelés, les fruits et les légumes, et les produits chimiques sensibles à la température.

La plupart des camions frigorifiques modernes maintiennent des températures de  et ont une charge utile maximum d'environ  (en Europe). .
