Portable generators are not strong enough to power your entire home. Decide which appliances you plan to use during an outage and calculate how much power they require. Find a generator whose running wattage is large enough to power these appliances.

In most cases, you will want to purchase a generator whose running wattage is between 4,400 and 10,000 watts. Generators smaller than 4,000 watts are, in most instances, ill-suited for powering a home during an outage as they cannot start many appliances. Generators larger than 10,000 watts are often expensive, difficult to move, noisy, and will not work with the GenerLink transfer switch.

Once you have found the portable generator you plan to purchase, check that it is compatible with the GenerLink by using the link below.

Risks remain higher in cross-cultural contexts. And misconduct is harder to report.

What is mtree?

mtree(8) is a utility included in the base system (/usr/sbin/mtree) and can be used to compare two directory structures thus allowing you to spot any kind of difference. By default it does this by comparing file size (in bytes) and type, last modification time, file owner, group owner, the permissions as a numeric value, any optional flags (see ls -lo, and also chflags(1)) and finally any optional soft or hard links the file might have.

But there's a whole lot more you can do here.

Why I'm writing this guide (short editorial section)

The main reason I'm writing this guide is because I think not many people use mtree to its full potential. But to make matters worse I also think the manual page doesn't do a good job. I mean... If all you do in the EXAMPLES section is to point people to some parameters without actually showing them any examples on how to use those...

As a Christian holiday, Christmas is foundational to America’s original character. It’s affected our founders’ understanding of human nature. //

Across cultures, people have sought to flee oppression and escape persecution from the beginning of recorded history. A recurring theme in Western classical literature and in modern classics such as Superman and Disney originals, which revolve around the struggle between good and evil, is the need and critical role for a rescuer or savior.

The ultimate rescuer and savior for mankind would be a “messiah,” who would vanquish evil, oppression and falsehood once and for all. It is no accident that only Christianity has its roots and its entire reason for being in the messiah Jesus Christ. No other religion makes the claim that it was founded by a messiah. //

As a Christian holiday, Christmas is foundational to America’s original character. If Christ had never been born and died the way He did, all of history would have been different. For one thing, neither Columbus nor the Pilgrims would have received or have been motivated by the good news of salvation through Christ to explore or establish a new community with a higher purpose in the New World.

There would never have been a constitutional government created in the way and time that it was in America, without two necessary conditions: First, the foundation of recognizing man’s unalienable rights of freedom and equality that came out of the teachings of Christ, more fully recognized in the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century.

Second, the unprecedented collection of Christian human genius that came together—rather amazingly at the same time—people we call the Founding Fathers, who were deeply influenced by Christianity. The founders knew the potential depravity that exists in everyone can lead to abuse of power and tyranny. For this reason, they structured the government with checks and balances between the three branches of government, but also through the federalist system of division of power between the states and the federal government.

The constitutional republic formed by the Founders provided for and protected individual rights of freedom and independence such that America achieved material prosperity more rapidly than any other prior civilization. Additionally, the American constitutional framework enabled people to move closer to the divine image in which all people are created free and equal more than they would have achieved under any prior system. //

3. Lower the audio quality
   Some users suggest lowering the audio quality as the songs are buffering on the highest one (256kbps AAC). You can do that in the app settings and, hopefully, the issues will stop once you transfer to Normal quality. We understand that this shouldn’t be a thing, but it seems that Google still needs a lot of work to make YouTube Music a valid successor to Google Play Music. //

4. Disable Battery optimization
   Another possible reason for YouTube Music stopping mid-playback is the aggressive system app management. Some Android skins tend to kill the apps in the background to save battery. You can avoid this by disabling Battery optimization for YouTube Music.

Lionel Messi finally achieved his World Cup dream as Argentina won their third crown on penalties in one of the greatest finals in the tournament's history.

Argentina won the shootout 4-2 after a spectacular game which developed into the much-anticipated confrontation between the 35-year-old maestro Messi and his France opposite number Kylian Mbappe.

France's own superstar scored a hat-trick - the first in a Fifa World Cup final since 1966 - but still ended up on the losing side at Lusail Stadium.

Messi looked to be securing the one major honour missing from his glittering collection in comfort as Argentina cruised into a two-goal lead.

This all changed when an explosive intervention from Mbappe, who scored two goals inside two minutes late on, turned this frantic, magnificent match for the ages on its head.

Messi had given Argentina the lead from the penalty spot in the 23rd minute following Ousmane Dembele's foul on Angel di Maria. It made him the first player in World Cup history to score in the group stage, last 16, quarter-final, semi-final and final of a single tournament.

From pony express to phony excess.

Spitfire SurpriseSpitfire Mark IX MH434 is one of the most famous of today's flying Spitfires and is a combat veteran of WW2 and post war conflicts.

On this day, 19th July 1996, the pilot Ray Hanna decided to scare a TV documentary crew to death by taking off, hugging the ground, and pouncing on the crew while they recorded a link for a documentary on the 60th Anniversary of the Spitfire for American TV. I had a camera with me on the day - I was producing the TV crew - and looking for the aircraft through my lens it suddenly appeared and I clicked the shutter before dropping to the ground. The video of the moment is on Youtube with copious expletives (https://youtu.be/4iOoiEbtf2w) if you want to see what happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brd44OS0Ueo

Ray Hanna was one of the best warbird pilots of his generation, formerly in the Royal Airforce he had been leader of the aerobatic display team the Red Arrows and once he became a pilot of classic aircraft he and MH434 were the go to team for numerous Hollywood film directors.

When it came to low flying stunts Ray was the best there was and the secret was decades of experience with the aircraft, faultless expertise and meticulous preparation. As for my photo, that was luck...

Copyleft Through Copyright

The primary goal of every GPL enforcement action is to gain compliance, which means getting to users complete and corresponding source code so they can copy, share, modify and install improved versions. The GPL itself is a copyright license that does a weird hack on copyright: it uses the copyright rules to turn them around, and require people to share software freely (as in freedom) in exchange for permission to copy, modify and distribute the software. A GPL violation occurs when someone fails to meet the license requirements and thereby infringes copyright. The copyright rules themselves then are the only remedy to enforce the license — requiring that the violator come into compliance with the license if they want permission to continue distribution.

Up until now, almost all the enforcement I've done has been purely under GPL version 2 (GPLv2). GPLv2§4 says that upon violation, the violator loses permission to engage in those activities governed by copyright: including copying, modifying and distributing the software. The only way to get those permissions back is for the copyright holder to grant them back.
Speaking For the Users

Copyleft's unique way of using copyright means the parties who may enforce are copyright holders (and their designated agents). However, the victims of the violation are typically thousands of users who have bought a product that included the GPL'd program. The goal, therefore, is to get source code that these users can actually use to compile and install the software. In GPLv2-speak, the goal is to get the all the "complete source code", which includes "the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable".

In the film, Clark proclaims the house is decked out with”25,000 imported Italian twinkle lights.” At 7W per bulb, that works out to 175,000 watts (175 kW). Putting aside, for a moment, the secondary concerns like whether or not his home could handle that load, let’s just deal with the raw numbers.

At 1989 electricity prices, that means Clark’s display uses $12.25 per hour. Run from, say, 6 PM to midnight every day, it would cost $73.50 per day. If run for the month of December, it would cost $2,205. Adjusted for inflation, that’s around $5,294. //

You can read the analog dials on an old power meter to determine how much energy your home uses. It’s an old trick we shared in our guide to measuring your home’s energy use. A 2014 blog post from an equally curious person used that very trick to calculate how much energy the Griswold home is using while the lights are on based on how long the meter is visible and how many times the various dials rotate in that time frame.

We have to assume that the clip was sped up for theatrical effect because if the meter was spinning in real time, ol’ Clark’s house was sucking down 529 MW—or about as much power a quarter of the greater Chicago region. So whatever the activation of auxiliary power did in the film, we can safely assume it delivered that much extra power to the grid.

Inflation, the curse of our pocketbooks and the Federal Reserve, has hit almost every good in the U.S. But the price of a beloved toy has managed to hover around $1 — for more than 50 years. //

While Hot Wheels has fully embraced the nostalgic adult demographic, the production of high-quality, $1 cars, remains at the heart of the company's mission, Wu said.

"We like to say that everyone's first car is a Hot Wheels," Wu said. "And as new parents get back into the brand for their kids, it can sometimes rekindle the joy they had for the brand as a child."

Today, more than 16 Hot Wheels cars are sold per second across the globe and more than 6 billion have been produced to date, the company said.

That so many of those billions have been sold to parents looking for an affordable toy for their child says a lot about the brand, said Pascal, the collector.

"You're gonna buy a Hot Wheel for what, $1.29 today, or whatever the average number is? It's pocket change," Pascal said. "One of the reasons why I think Mattel is so successful is, you know, there are 330 million Americans, probably every adult, every kid that you know, has played with the Hot Wheel at one time, because they're so affordable."

The final Boeing 747 rolled out of the assembly building in Everett, Washington this week, capping a 54 year production run for the iconic Queen of the Skies. The final 747, line number 1574, will be delivered to Atlas Air in early 2023. While the 747 is no longer in production, it is still busy flying passengers and cargo around the world.

Twitter’s top ranks were riddled with ex-FBI agents and executives, stitching the company even closer to the federal agency now under fire for leaning on Twitter to meddle in the 2020 elections.

More than a dozen former feds flocked to the company in the months and years prior to Elon Musk’s purchase of the social network in October.

The Post found FBI influence was considerably more significant than just James Baker, the FBI’s former general counsel who later worked in the same role for Twitter. He was recently fired by Musk for interfering in the billionaire’s efforts to come clean about past transgressions at the company.

In some cases, the former G-men and -women held positions that would have put them close to company leadership directly involved in censoring The Post’s Hunter Biden coverage in October 2020.

• What is the key point to make the decision of paralleling?
  ** Reliability and redundancy.

• Do you use 4 pole or 3 pole ATSs on 120/208V Y systems

** To determine which configuration (3-pole or 4-pole) to select, attention must be paid to the system grounding scheme and ground fault protection requirements. If ground fault detection is required on either source, a 4-pole transfer switch is necessary in most cases. Per NFPA 70: National Electrical Code 230.95 Ground Fault Protection (GFP) of equipment is required at the service disconnect (utility breaker) for systems with all of the following:

Solidly grounded wye electrical service.
More than 150 volts to ground (277/480 or 347/600 VAC).
Over current device rating of 1000 A or more.
NEC 700.6 (D) and 701.6 (D) requires Ground Fault Indication (GFI) at the emergency source.

Ground fault sensing depends on being able to sense ground fault current. To accurately sense ground fault current, it must return to its source on a known path relative to ground fault current transformers (CTs). In basic emergency standby systems there are two rules to follow to meet these requirements:

There can only be one neutral/ground connection on any neutral bus at one time.
Ground fault sensors (the CTs) must be downstream (or on the load side) of the bonding connection.

To meet both rules when connected to either the normal or the emergency source, the neutral must be switched using a 4-pole transfer switch

According to Clayton Christensen, a professor at Harvard Business School, it wasn’t a lack of trying that took down DEC. It was the inflexibility of the business model they had so long relied upon:

“Digital Equipment Corp. had microprocessor technology, but its business model could not profitably sell a computer for less than $50,000. The technology trapped in a high-cost business model had no impact on the world, and in fact, the world ultimately killed Digital. But IBM Corp., with the very same processors at its disposal, set up a different business model in Florida that could make money at a $2,000 price point and 20% gross margins—and changed the world.”
