The United States has launched an investigation into complaints of faulty brake hoses on the 2015-2017 Edge SUV. October 5, 2024 — Ford Edge brake hose failures are under investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, following 36 complaints alleging a loss of braking ability on 2015-2017 Ford Edge SUVs. Ford Edge owners reported losing braking ability due to a faulty rear brake hose, and the owners received no warning of the problem.

Kindoma: Bridging distance through shared family story time –
Kindoma: Using family story time to bridge distanceMore and more families are struggling with distance; in the U.S. alone, half of grandparents live more than 200 miles from their grandchildren. In this talk, we’ll summarize our field research into how families with young children are coping with distance, and how the technology they use is both helpful and inadequate. We’ll use the findings from this fieldwork to drive a multi-year quest to enable families to read books together at a distance. We’ll outline the design and evaluation of 3 research prototypes: Family Storytime (mobile device + physical book), Story Access (web), and People in Books (depth camera). The talk will conclude with a discussion of how we commercialized these ideas at Kindoma with the launch of the Kindoma Storytime app for iPad.

Although the tank was full, I wanted to make sure the measurements for the test were accurate. A full tank gives a range of 548 km, which means there are about 58-59 liters of gasoline in the tank. Hitting the Road When we reached the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, the weather was nice with occasional drizzles, though pollution was quite noticeable in Gurgaon.
