If you’ve ever tried camping during the summer, you know the struggle. The morning sun turns your cozy tent into a sauna by 7 a.m., and forget about taking an afternoon nap without feeling like you’re being slowly roasted. We’ve all been there, desperately unzipping every flap and praying for a breeze. But what if your tent could actually keep you cool without guzzling electricity or requiring a noisy generator? Enter the solar-powered camping tent air conditioner, a brilliant design concept that just earned recognition at the prestigious Red Dot Design Awards. Created by designers Zhong Xu, Li Baoyu, Pan Yiyuan, and Li Xueyan, this innovative tent reimagines outdoor comfort in a way that feels almost too good to be true. Designers: Zhong Xu, Li Baoyu, Pan Yiyuan, Li Xueyan Here’s what makes it special: this isn’t just a regular tent with an AC unit strapped to it. The designers created an integrated system where the tent’s composite tarpaulin fabric actually functions as a power source. Think about that for a moment. The very material protecting you from the elements is simultaneously collecting solar energy to keep you comfortable. It’s like your tent is working double duty, and honestly, it’s pretty genius. The concept addresses one of camping’s biggest pain points without compromising the whole “getting away from it all” experience. Traditional camping air conditioners require bulky batteries, loud generators, or access to electrical hookups, which kind of defeats the purpose of being out in nature. This solar-powered solution lets you control your tent’s temperature while staying completely off-grid. For anyone who loves camping but struggles with heat sensitivity, has kids who can’t sleep when it’s too hot, or simply wants to extend their camping season into the sweltering summer months, this could be a game-changer. Summer camping often means choosing between suffering through the heat or limiting your adventures to cooler months. With this design, you wouldn...

Home » ADU planning process rolling out across region Residents around the region are being encouraged to share their ideas and comments on potential changes to Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) zoning and land use bylaw regulations for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). ADUs are independent, self-contained living spaces that are in addition to the principal dwelling unit or structure on a single property, including interior, attached, and detached dwelling units. “Having strong participation from around the region in the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) planning process will help ensure a wide range of views and priorities are considered. To help better understand the different perspectives, we have scheduled a series of workshops over the next two months and have opened a detailed public survey,” said RDEK Planner Sarah Baines. The workshops kicked off in Electoral Area A on October 11 and there will be a total of 15 workshops held through December 1 across all six electoral areas. In addition to the in-person events, two of the sessions are online and are open to all electoral areas. “We have worked hard to provide multiple opportunities for engagement, and the online opportunities will also provide a way for people who are not in the region or who may be unavailable during the in-person events to continue to participate and share their feedback,” added Baines. In addition, a detailed survey is open now through December 1 on the ADU project page. The full list of all the workshops, access to the survey, an introductory video and ongoing project updates can all be found on the project page. Both the survey and the workshops will seek feedback on a range of topics including everything from what types of dwellings should qualify as ADUs to where people would like to see ADUs located, perceived advantages and disadvantages, uses, sizes, servicing impacts and more. Hard copies of the survey are available on request for those who do not have access to a computer, an...

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - Boy Scout Troop 53 set up a recruitment booth at Kentucky’s oldest running festival this weekend, seeking new members as the group rebuilds after folding during the pandemic. Chase Fitzpatrick, patrol leader, and fellow scout Kal-El Honshul worked the booth at Mt. Sterling Court Days, promoting their program among the festival vendors. “Join the boy scouts. It has all that type of stuff and more, like first aid and fitness,” Fitzpatrick said. The troop currently has just four members but is actively recruiting. Scout Master Mark Rossetti said the group focuses on outdoor skills and building relationships. “Teaching the boys how to light a fire, set up a camp,” Rossetti said. “It’s going to take time to grow.” Shared experiences bring scouts together The scouts participate in outdoor activities while developing life-long friendships. “We do a lot of fun stuff, like camping, shooting, fishing all that kind of stuff, you get this sense of brotherhood,” one scout said. Fitzpatrick and Honshul became friends through the program although they share a tragic bond — both boys lost their fathers at a young age. “It gives us a safe space to talk about stuff, like family issues,” said Fitzpatrick. “My dad, he was my hero.” “When you talk about it, it’s a very sad topic but it’s important to talk about it so it’s not just on our mind and we aren’t just talking about it, it’s good to have conversations about it,” Honshul said. Troop seeks community support Honshul said the program helps young people get involved with those around them, all while getting some fresh air. “I think it’s very important for young men to be able to be a part of the community and build a relationship with the community. I think it’s just to help get off a couch just watching TikTok or something,” Honshul said. The troop is also fundraising for a trip to Camp McKee and needs financial support. “That’s the good part about it. They’re only 13 but we’re so proud of these youn...

For many Utahns, the dream of owning a home has shifted from an expectation to what feels like an unattainable luxury. Rising prices, tight inventory, investor competition, and a surge in high-density development have left many young people believing they’ll rent forever. But according to Asha Klarich, a former attorney turned realtor, that dream isn’t gone—it just requires a different approach. “Think you can’t afford a home in Utah? Think again,” she says. Asha has spent most of her career negotiating contracts, first in the legal world, now in real estate. She brings both legal precision and practical strategy to helping Utahns get into homes—even in a market that seems stacked against them. From Law to Real Estate Asha didn’t start out in real estate. She practiced corporate immigration and business law for 17 years before making the leap. “I loved my work,” she says, “but I didn’t want to go back to firm life and billable hours after I had my children.” Her interest in real estate grew as she began building her own rental portfolio. She eventually got licensed and discovered something unexpected: real estate was a natural fit. “Every transaction is based on contracts and negotiation. That was my specialty,” she explains. But for Asha, being a realtor is about more than paperwork. “Buying and selling a home can be very emotional,” she says. “I want to meet people where they are, guide them through the process, and be their advocate long after the deal closes.” A Personal Loss—and a Bigger Lesson During the podcast, Asha opened up about one of the most painful chapters of her life: the loss of her infant son. After a complicated pregnancy and months of living at the Ronald McDonald House while her son underwent multiple surgeries, she and her family faced the devastating decision to take him off a ventilator. What followed was silence. Friends and colleagues didn’t know how to respond. “I lost a lot of people I thought I was close to,” she recalls. “They didn’t s...

- Ald. Bennett Lawson (44) speaks during a City Council meeting on March 12, 2025. [Don Vincent/The Daily Line] A group of 18 alderpeople last week introduced a measure that would opt their wards’ single-family residential zoning districts into allowing accessory dwelling units (ADUs), such as attic and basement conversion units or coach houses. The proposal came after the City Council last month approved a compromise ordinance legalizing ADUs in multifamily and business districts citywide while exempting most single-family areas. The ordinance would overwrite and incorporate five existing pilot areas that were first established under the 2021 ADU pilot ordinance and were grandfathered into the legalization ordinance. They remain the only areas containing single-family zones that allow ADUs until other areas opt in. Meetings & Agendas - Chicago - Springfield

Jacobson and ors involving prime land in central Accra that had been in litigation for almost 20 years. As the case rumbles on, the once-beautiful property has turned into a shanty settlement. Wooden kiosks, illegal power lines, heaps of rubbish — all sitting in the middle of what used to be one of the city’s most prestigious addresses. No taxes are being paid. The land contributes nothing to the public good. Instead, it has became a security risk lowering the value of nearby properties. Sadly, this is not an isolated case. Across Airport Residential, Cantonments, Ridge, Labone, and East Legon, there are hundreds of such idle plots — walled off, overgrown, and unproductive. Some of these lands belong to private individuals who bought them decades ago and are waiting for prices to rise. Others are tied up in endless disputes. And some were government lands, acquired cheaply through questionable deals and later resold at ten or fifteen times the original price. Meanwhile, prices in these areas have become astronomical, reaching well over US$1 million per acre in some cases. Young professionals, teachers, nurses, and civil servants — the backbone of our society — can no longer afford to live near their workplaces. Yet the city continues to bear the cost of providing roads, drains, and streetlights for plots that contribute nothing back. It is time Ghana rethinks this imbalance through an Idle Property Tax — a fair, transparent, and socially responsible levy on undeveloped urban land. The concep...

GOOCHLAND COUNTY, Va. -- The Richmond area’s Boy Scout organization is lining up some big upgrades at its sprawling Goochland compound. The Heart of Virginia Council, Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America) is planning a $1.4 million overhaul of the archery and shooting facilities at Camp T. Brady Saunders, the 600-acre camp where the organization hosts all of its events and much of its programming. The camp is located at 1723 Maidens Road in Goochland County.

The Richmond area’s Boy Scouts organization is lining up some big upgrades at its sprawling Goochland compound. The Heart of Virginia Council, Scouting America (formerly Boy Scouts of America) is planning a $1.4 million overhaul of the archery and shooting facilities at Camp T. Brady Saunders, the 600-acre camp where the organization hosts all of its events and much of its programming. The camp is located at 1723 Maidens Road in Goochland County. The new facility, which will be called OnTarget, will be a full revamp of the camp’s archery and shooting programming, which is currently held on a 2.5-acre facility at the camp. The old facility will be torn down to make way for a larger one with expanded offerings. The planned OnTarget facility will include features like a 3D archery course with 10 stations, a shotgun teaching station, two multi-purpose instructional pavilions, a covered five-stand shotgun range, a 16-station rifle and pistol range and a 12-station archery range. OnTarget is set to be a major improvement for Scouts in terms of both capabilities and capacity, said Heart of Virginia Council CEO George McGovern. McGovern told BizSense that the current archery and shooting facility, which has been on the site for decades, has several issues, including being outdated and having no restrooms or teaching stations. The facility is also laid out toward the west, meaning that in the afternoons when Scouts are trying to shoot, the sun is in their eyes. “That facility is over 40 years old. It has no bathrooms, no water, it’s just a place on the camp, and what we’re trying to do is upgrade it, because the demand is calling for it. … It’s a program highlight that many of our Scouts want to use,” McGovern said. The nonprofit has been planning for the upgrade for several years, including in its 10-year master plan, published in 2023. Now, the project is getting started as the organization begins to raise funds for the upgraded facility. The new, 3.5-acre OnTarget facilit...

Tesla China has posted a rather optimistic teaser of Giga Shanghai and this quarter’s Model Y L deliveries. The video was shared by the electric vehicle maker on Chinese social media platform Weibo. Giga Shanghai on full throttle The recently shared Weibo video featured a rather rare glimpse of the exterior of Giga Shanghai, which, unlike Giga Texas, the Fremont Factory, and Giga Berlin, reportedly no longer allows drone flyovers. As noted by Tesla China in its Weibo post, Giga Shanghai has finished its vehicle shipping center, which allows the company to ship cars efficiently. Tesla China posted a video of numerous Model Y vehicles being loaded onto car carrier trucks. And as could be seen in the video, a good number of the Model Ys being shipped from Giga Shanghai were Model Y L units, the all-electric crossover’s six-seat, extended wheelbase variant that only started deliveries last month. Insurance registration reports Tesla China does seem to be moving at full throttle this Q4 2025. Whisper numbers from industry watchers have suggested that the electric vehicle maker recorded 16,500 new vehicle registrations in the week of October 13-19. Considering that Tesla China typically focuses on exports during the first weeks of a quarter, the company’s numbers this Q4 could be quite impressive. For context, Tesla China saw 5,020 new vehicle registrations in the week ending October 5 and 11,300 new vehicle registrations in the week ending October 12, 2025. The momentum of the Model Y L is also building up, with previous reports stating that the extended wheelbase, six-seat Model Y variant was able to help boost Tesla China’s wholesale numbers to 90,812 units in September, becoming the country’s fourth best-selling mid-to-large SUV in the process. Tesla to offer Full Self-Driving gifting program: here’s how it will work Tesla executive Raj Jegannathan said the company would be shipping the gifting program out before the holidays, making a great gift for owners just in ti...

Tesla has made a crazy move with its leasing terms in the United States to spur demand in the short term, as Q4 is moving along quickly. The move is one that is pretty crazy in terms of the lease price, as one of the deals shows a drop of nearly one-quarter of the previous pricing. These deals are obviously being started to really drive demand over the next week and a half. Tesla has offered new leasing terms on the Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck, cutting lease prices by 23 percent for the Model 3, 15 percent for the Model Y, and 7 percent for the Cybertruck. New prices on these leases are as follows: - Tesla Model 3: $329/mo, down from $429 — 23 percent discount - Tesla Model Y: $449/mo, down from $529 — 15 percent discount - Tesla Cybertruck: $699/mo, down from $749 — 7 percent discount The lease terms are $3,000 down, a 36-month lease term, and 10,000 miles per year. Tesla is also showing $0 down lease prices automatically on its website. For the Model 3, these same terms with $0 down would be $419. The Model Y with $0 down would be $543 a month, and the Cybertruck would be $851 a month. These terms are also for the entry-level configurations of each vehicle, so for the Model 3, it’s the Model 3 Standard. The Model Y price is for the Model Y Standard, and the Cybertruck is the All-Wheel-Drive. Tesla shows on their website that these lease deals are incredibly short-term and will adjust accordingly on November 1. Why Tesla is launching these deals for ten days is not necessarily known, but it seems as if the company might be testing demand, as lease deals for the latter half of Q4 could be in the works. Tesla traditionally launches some pretty tasty deals at the end of each quarter, but this move is somewhat interesting simply because it is not even remotely long-term. It will be a good test to see if people are more incentivized to wait for these deals now that the $7,500 tax credit has been removed. Tesla to offer Full Self-Driving gifting program: here’s how ...

An ordinance that would update Danville’s regulations surrounding ADUs is going before the Town Council Tuesday, with changes aimed at addressing concerns raised by two different letters since the item first went to the Planning Commission last month. The update was initially proposed for the purposes of revising the town’s regulations to reflect changes in state law that aim to increase housing inventory by making requirements friendlier to those considering adding ADUs to existing properties. The changes required by new state laws and regulations include a ministerial review process for ADU applications with a 60-day deadline for approval or denial, a maximum 25-foot height requirement, and a shift in ownership requirements that allows an ADU to be owned by a separate party from the primary property owner. Since the proposed ordinance was recommended by the Planning Commission at its Sept. 9 meeting, the town has received letters expressing concerns from the California Housing Defense Fund (CHDF) and the Montair Homeowners Association. “Having had an opportunity to review this letter in more detail since the Planning Commission hearing, Town staff have made changes to address some of their concerns,” Associate Planner Riley Anderson-Barrett wrote in a staff report in response to the CHDF letter. “Language was clarified allowing the height of detached ADUs in multifamily districts to be raised two feet to align with existing roof pitch,” Anderson-Barrett continued. “The Ordinance was modified to allow up to eight detached ADUs to existing multifamily developments which was stated in HCD’s Accessory Dwelling Unit Handbook dated January 2025.” Meanwhile, town staff found that amendments to the ordinance proposed by the Montair Homeowners Association – which would exclude specific areas of the town from by-right approval of ADUs due to concerns over parking, drainage and water issues, and fire safety – were “beyond the scope of the current ordinance.” While the law al...

Tesla’s newest Full Self-Driving version is officially rolling out wider to customers outside of the Early Access Program (EAP), in preparation for a total launch of the new v14 suite. Over the past several weeks, Tesla has been working to refine its new v14 Full Self-Driving (Supervised) in an effort to have it ready for the entire fleet of vehicles in the United States. We are lucky enough to be in the EAP, so we’ve been able to test new features and rollouts first-hand. So far, v14 has introduced a handful of new features and improvements, but the first versions needed refinement before Tesla made an effort to expand the population. It had issues with a brake stutter, but this has been mostly resolved. Additionally, the rollout of the new Mad Max Speed Profile has gathered some attention. 🚨 Tesla “Mad Max” testing on FSD v14.1.2 It drives like a human being! Consistent lane changes, keeps up with quicker traffic, very refined Well done Tesla Team pic.twitter.com/wzTucDhczA — TESLARATI (@Teslarati) October 19, 2025 Now that Tesla has started rolling out v14.1.3 yesterday to EAP members, the company ultimately decided that it was time to expand the software to more vehicles, as many owners are reporting that they’re receiving it: — Joseph (@ScarantinoX) October 20, 2025 Additionally, the suite has started to expand to Model S and Model X vehicles, so this rollout is not exclusive to Model 3 and Model Y: I did over an hour of driving with FSD v14.1.3 in my Model S tonight and experienced 0 disengagements. First impressions video uploading shortly… pic.twitter.com/aFfmBphAsC — Dan Burkland (@DBurkland) October 21, 2025 The only issue with this rollout is that it still appears to be missing the Cybertruck, which Tesla was transparent about earlier this month. Although the company planned to release v14 to Cybertrucks by the end of the month, there has been no hint that this is going to happen. This is already the third iteration of v14 in the past two weeks, indicatin...

Chicago loosens granny flat rules, still lags California Chicago just expanded where accessory dwelling units can be built, but California’s sweeping reforms show how far the city still has to go. Chicago is taking steps to make it easier to build additional housing, but it is far behind California when it comes to accessory dwelling units. City leaders recently approved an ordinance expanding the areas where granny flats, basement apartments and converted garages can be built. Now in addition to the pilot areas established in 2021, units can be built in commercial areas and multi-unit residential areas without special permission. Aldermen over single-family zones can opt-in to allow them in their wards as well. This will allow more small, low-cost units, giving more property owners the flexibility of adding housing on existing lots. While Chicago is making progress, California’s statewide push shows just how much more is possible. California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently signed AB 1154, legislation that eliminates owner-occupancy requirements for interior dwelling units. The American Enterprise Institute points to owner-occupancy requirements as one of the primary barriers to the development of additional dwelling units. It explains “owner occupancy requirements make it more difficult for homeowners who want to build… at their primary residence to qualify for financing to do so. Further, owner-occupancy requirements significantly reduce the appraised value that a [dwelling unit] will contribute to a property, making them a riskier financial decision for homeowners to make.” This new law means homeowners no longer must live on the property themselves to build and rent out these small units, eliminating another barrier for using these units to increase the housing supply. California has spent years passing statewide rules that cut through local red tape. They standardized definitions, limited permitting delays and ensured cities can’t block additional dwelling unit cons...
