Dear Senator Schumer,
You recently approached SEC head Mary Schapiro with some very valid concerns about Flash trading, and the potential for investor abuse by advance looks to select market participants ahead of the general order pool. Your crusade was subsequently enjoined by such equity market luminaries as Robert Greifeld, president and CEO of the Nasdaq Stock Market, who had this to say regarding not just Flash trades in particular, but numerous other components of market topology, whose sole purpose is to obfuscate natural order flow and to provide loopholes for dominant market players to extract inefficiencies (i.e., scalp regular investors) arising from established and SEC-endorsed mechanisms of efficient market circumvention:
"Flash orders, which are a fundamental part of high-frequency trading, are but one symptom of the current evolving market structure. Nasdaq OMX is concerned that the securities industry appears willing to accept more and more 'darkness' and limits on the availability of order information. Instead, the policy goal should be clear: to eliminate any order types or market structure policies that do not contribute to public price formation and market transparency."
"The industry has a unique opportunity at this time to take a hard look at dark order types and the underlying market structure issues that do not support public price information."
Senator Schumer, while Zero Hedge applauds your initiative, the truth is that the wrongdoing in the context of potential investor market abuse runs far deeper and is much more pervasive than you realize. And while one can highlight the merits of the Op-Ed published in the New York Times earlier by quant titan Paul Wilmott entitled "Hurrying Into The Next Panic" (a recommended read for you and your staff), which notes numerous frightening implications brought about by the domination of Hiqh Frequency Trading, let us stick within the context of advance looks, which is at the basis of your letter seeking the ban of Flash-like behavior.
Zero Hedge would like to highlight that while your letter to Mary Schapiro indicated your concern with such market actors as DirectEdge, BATS and Nasdaq, the truth is there are substantially larger and more dangerous "fish" on which you should focus your attention.
As a primary example, I would like to refer you to Goldman Sachs' dark pool, SIGMA X.
As evidence I present an analytical paper prepared by none other than Goldman Sachs, compliments of the Bank Holdings Company's GSET (Goldman Sachs Electronic Trading) division.
While I recommend you read the full report and other related literature (especially if you wish to understand why VWAP or Volume-Weighted Average Price is such a critical concept in modern trading), I would like to bring your attention to page 6 of this report, and in particular the following sections:
"The child orders generated by Goldman Sachs algorithms interact with SIGMA X liquidity."
"When a client routes a marketable order through SIGMA, the smart router first exposes the order to SIGMA X liquidity."
This basically means that as a Goldman algo strategy splits an incoming block trade into smaller (child) components, these orders will first be advance-exposed to Goldman's own prop strategies which get a "first look" (no pun intended) at the order flow to dispose of as they desire. Additionally, due to the flashing advance window, Goldman implicitly knows in advance of a potential spike in order flow - in other words if there is a size buyer or seller of any given particular stock - an incalculable edge in today's market, allowing one to potentially take advantage (frontrun) of forced buyins and unwinds and major block trades.
This provides the firm with a material advantage over other market participants.
In order to get a sense of the size of this potential abuse, as Goldman itself discloses, SIGMA X traded over 123 million (matched-only, single counted) shares daily in May, over 600 million per week. This is a staggering amount of shares over a cumulative extended period of time, and could potentially provide the firm with a substantial unfair advantage over other participants.
Furthermore, Goldman is a dominant Program Trading market player on the New York Stock Exchange, by virtue of its participation in the NYSE's Supplemental Liquidity Provider program. As publicly disclosed, Goldman traded over 796 million principal shares (for its own benefit, not as an agent) in the prior week alone, almost double the next largest market participant Credit Suisse which traded a total volume of just over 420 million shares.
Whether or not Goldman can implicitly take advantage of the advance looks Goldman receives compliments of its own dark pool, SIGMA X, and then subsequently reroutes this informational advantage to trades executed on the NYSE, and other exchanges and ECNs, is also a very pertinent question.
However, even if acting in a vaccum exclusively within the confines of SIGMA X, Goldman's modus operandi begs the question: if, as your letter discloses, you believe Flash-like behavior is a detriment to investors, we encourage your team to focus its attention on this matter. The potential abuse in the context of SIGMA X, is substantial, and much more so if it is not confined to the dark pool exclusively.
In conclusion, SIGMA X was conceived and brought to market via Spear, Leeds and Kellogg: I would like to present to you the form contract with Goldman that new customers have to sign when they agree to engage SLK for any client purposes. I bring your attention to the highlighted area:

(Reuters) - The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday sued three defendants it accused of running a fraud and Ponzi scheme in which they raised more than $62 million from investors eager to benefit from growth in the North Dakota oil industry.
According to the SEC, North Dakota Developments LLC and its owners, Robert Gavin and Daniel Hogan, illegally raised money from hundreds of investors since May 2012 by selling stakes in four short-term housing projects, known as "man camps," for workers in the Bakken oil field region of North Dakota and Montana.
The SEC said investors were promised returns of up to 42 percent in the first year, or a "guaranteed" or "assured" annual return of up to 25 percent, though the defendants knew the first project was significantly delayed and faced low occupancy rates, while the other projects were delayed or had not yet been begun.
It also said the defendants paid investors in the first project, Watford West in Arnegard, North Dakota, with money from investors in later projects, and misappropriated more than $25 million to cover hidden broker commissions, payments to Gavin and Hogan, and investment in other Bakken projects.
The SEC civil lawsuit filed in a North Dakota federal court seeks to recoup ill-gotten gains, impose fines and obtain an injunction against further violations.
North Dakota Developments did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Lawyers for the Williston, North Dakota-based company and Gavin did not immediately respond to similar requests. A lawyer for Hogan could not immediately be located.
The complaint said North Dakota Developments raised money from investors in more than one dozen U.S. states, and in countries including Australia, France, Great Britain and Spain.
The case is SEC v North Dakota Developments LLC et al, U.S. District Court, District of North Dakota, No. 15-00053.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is using an old and outdated router. Not only does it leave you potentially vulnerable (especially if you haven't kept up with updates), it also limits your internet speed. The worst case scenario is you rent a modem from your IP, sucking away money month by month.
But Amazon is discounting networking gear so you can save money, be protect, and enjoy the internet speeds you're actually paying for. Our favorite modem/router duo is the Nighthawk R6700 AC1750 dual-band router ($69, down from $130) and the Netgear CM700 cable modem ($75, down from $110). With a router that can handle speeds in excess of 1Gbps and a modem with 32x8 channel bonding, you'll never have to deal with congested internet again. It also comes with Netgear's support apps, so you can monitor your network and see just what kind of speeds you're really getting.
While this set up works great for most small homes, here are other routers and solutions built with other kinds of domiciles in mind, along with some other great gear that'll help take advantage or your newfound internet speeds.

Wrapping up 100 Days in the Slow Lane
Since last Fall, when I committed to sit it out for 30 minutes a day, I've discovered something profound about meditation – it's profoundly difficult to slow down my twenty-first century, tech-driven, high-speed brain.
For 100 straight days, I've been sitting, and squirming and itching to get up. At least 75 of those days, I needed some serious self-talk to stay in my seat. After all, in my everyday life, I've been trained to be ready at any moment for an incoming text, call, email, Facebook post, breaking news, or something requiring 'immediate attention'. We all have. We're in constant fight or flight mode, mobilized for everyday life like it's a crisis we're facing moment to moment.
Trying to meditate feels like slamming on the brakes in a NASCAR race. I've spent years trying to handle everything quickly, at a moment's notice, raising kids in a soccer-mom culture and trying to keep my sanity without keeping up with the Jones's.
And that's exactly why I plan to keep sitting in meditation…on the floor, in a chair, on the couch…collecting my thoughts, and setting them aside for some emptiness and peace. I've become too accustomed to speed and instantaneous response times. I'm ready for the slow lane, and meditation is teaching me how to gently pull over and coast for a little while every day.
Do you have a daily practice that nourishes your health and happiness? I want to hear about your experience. Email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with your story.

Good afternoon readers! Today is Tech. Tuesday! I have a thought-provoking post for you today.
Today I booked my wife and I's flight to Seattle for our summer vacation. I haven't been on a plane since shortly after 9/11. A lot of things have changed in airport security since then. I thought about those while booking our flight.
The thing I wanted to talk about today was full body scanners. Are they necessary? Here is an article I found originally here.
Twenty-five years ago if someone told you that by the year 2010 that in order to get on a plane you would have to walk through an air chamber that "sniffs" out bombs, they would have laughed at you. And rightfully so, the thought of a bomb sniffing machine can still sound outlandish, but they exist. Security devices to secure buildings, airports and even just small, temporary venues has exploded in the last decade with 9/11 pushing people to find better, easier and more accurate ways of detecting threats.
The latest in the series of science fiction turned fact machines are full body scanners. These scanners, instead of just beeping the presence of metal, actual scan and produce an image of where any item (metal or not) is and the form that it is in. They do this either by minute radio waves that only penetrate clothing but can bounce off of other items or by taking X-rays of the subject within twenty seconds of each other and making a full body image that shows foreign objects.
Potential problems with full body scans range from health concerns (there are none) all the way to invasion of privacy. More alarming of the debates, is that with the radio wave type scanner it is possible to discern a great amount of detail about the subject inside the scanner. It is thought by many that the detail, even with the software that blurs the faces subjects, will eventually lead to many lawsuits if it becomes necessary for all people to pass through these as it may at a few airports very soon. Fortunately, for now at least, you have the option of traditional security screening over the full body scanners, offering a private way to pass through.
Another thing I was thinking about when booking the flight was that, God really doesn't need an x-ray machine or a full body scanner to be able to see what is going on inside of us. Every moment of everyday, He knows what is going on. He knows us inside and out.
So what are your thoughts readers?
Are the an invasion of privacy? Will they do more harm than good?
If God were to take you aside and look inside you, what would He find? What's going on inside of you? Is it something great, or does it need repair?
Until next time readers, God Bless!

Phillips Brooks House has rolled up its sleeves and prepared to honor Christmas with two shows: a Band and Gleo Club concert tomorrow in Sanders Theater and a Christmas party Thursday at Brooks House.
The concert, which will pack over 1200 Boston kids and adults into Sanders for a program lasting from 7:30 to 9 p.m., has been organized in conjunction with 47 Boston social agencies.
Co-chairmen Christopher M. Martin '49 and Waldo H. Heinrichs Jr, '49 of the Social Service Committee, and N. Conant Webb Jr. '49 sent out 1800 tickets to the various settlement houses and agencies, and expect that two-thirds of these will be used. The show will be limited to kids over 12 years old.
Community Singing
Audience participation will be the backbone of the program, with the Glee Club, under the direction of William Russell 4G, singing Christmas carols for all to join in. Malcolm H. Holmes '28 will lead the Band in a selection of football songs and marches.
Thursday, at the traditional Christmas party, Fred M. Fialkow '51 will bring a magician, a piano-player, and a Santa Claus to Brooks House to entertain 25 Settlement House boys. Musical chairs, ice cream and cake, and a final distribution of clothes and toys by the Santa will fill the two hours between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. Competition is running high between PBH moguls for the post of Santa Claus.

Phoenix Black Mountain Police Precinct
Fostering Community Support and Cultivating Faster Response Times
Located at Smokehouse Trail and Cave Creek Road, this project was influenced by the prototype design of the City of Phoenix Estrella Mountain Police Precinct at 99th Avenue and Buckeye. The station was built on a 12-acre site and includes space for all police precinct operations. The facility includes nine holding cells, a three-bay shooting range, administrative areas, locker rooms, equipment and evidence storage; and a public meeting space and briefing room for 30 officers.
The facility benefits the community through faster response times as well as a designated space for neighborhood watch meetings. It provides police patrol response to the residences of Phoenix in the Black Mountain Precinct Boundaries among other law enforcement activities as well as assistance with community groups concerns and public safety education and training.

As time changes, many people have revolutionized substantially as technological innovation is enhanced. However, a lot of people had instead preferred the digital and sophisticated way of socialization and entertainment rather than a pure live local theater performance. One may consider the level of comfort he/she may derive from sitting in the living room as compared to attending a live local theater show. Making a choice of whether you would love to support a local St. Louis theater group, or perhaps attend a live local theater show is up to you, but, whatever your preference may be you are sure to derive benefit from it.

St. Louis Live Theater
Attending a live local theater in St. Louis enables the audience to connect with thoughts, they had barely had. Whether or not it is a tragedy or perhaps a local musical theater, there's possibly a section of the story line that stretches beyond your very own expectations. There is the psychological benefit that comes up, and it gives you the ability to understand as well as empathize with other people's impressions and reactions towards it. Those outcomes could be strictly impossible to notice to other people who must have viewed it from a digital device.
Aside from the societal aspect, attending a live theater is informative while still being exciting. For instance, a local theater show of Shakespeare provides high school teens the ability to appreciate Bard's work, as opposed to merely reading it in the classroom. A lot of plays and even musicals are related to significant local or historical moments which are perfectly buttressed in some live local theater. Sometimes they can induce the interest of the author in you or perhaps influence a research project for a course, particularly if they emphasize a facet of a specific period which is seldom focused on BENEFITS OF SUPPORTING AND ATTENDING LIVE LOCAL THEATER AND THEATER GROUPS
Supporting local St. Louis theatre groups increases community pride. Audiences are delighted to be familiar with people around the neighborhood, and still, it is a way for skilled performers to showcase their talents to others. Local live theater contributes to the social fabric of the vast majority of the neighborhood, as well as in small places could be the only local live, performing event that exists. Local theater gives the finest of every community. It contains the fun of challenging, irritating, fascinating, and fulfilling
Furthermore, a local theater group does not exclusively give back to those on-stage, it presents the supporters and audience with the opportunity to get together to enjoy creativeness and also teamwork. This particular area of life of theatre is quite often ignored when reviewing its benefit in a local setting or neighborhood gathering. The function of the supporters is as vital, or even more valuable, as compared to that of the performer. Coming as a supporter to view a local live production is a thrilling experience, regardless of whether the performance is terrific or not as cool as you have intended. Conceivably, a local theater production of a musical could be the scene for a romantic night time out which triggers a long-lasting relationship. You could even make a new friend, uncover a whole new interest, or maybe discover a new set of music to sing along with while driving.
In conclusion, being one-sided would not help us in any way, we should consider trying some other cool stuff, and it is indeed an excellent way to know the people in our neighborhood and a perfect way to socialize.

Scientific Investigations Report 2012–5021
Studies of the transport and fate of agricultural chemicals in different environmental settings were conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program's Agricultural Chemicals Team (ACT) at seven sites across the Nation, including the South Fork Iowa River basin in central Iowa and the Bogue Phalia basin in northwestern Mississippi. The South Fork Iowa River basin is representative of midwestern agriculture, where corn and soybeans are the predominant crops and a large percentage of the cultivated land is underlain by artificial drainage. The Bogue Phalia basin is representative of corn, soybean, cotton, and rice cropping in the humid, subtropical southeastern United States. Details of the environmental settings of these basins and the data-collection activities conducted by the USGS ACT over the 2006–10 study period are described in this report.

Ballis (Off the Menu, 2012, etc.) delves again into foodie women's lit with flavorful results.
For all of Jenna's adult life, her best friend, Aimee, has been by her side. Inseparable as college roommates, they became wildly successful by their early 40s, building and then selling an events and catering company. They talked every day, ran a hobby cookbook shop and had planned to sail through the rest of their lives together, until Aimee's untimely death cut that plan—and Jenna's life as she knew it—short. Emotionally stranded, Jenna finds ways to fill the days. She sees a therapist. She cooks and bakes for her warm and enthusiastic bookstore family. She tentatively begins a new romance. She cares for her dachshund. And she tries to deal with Wayne—Aimee's widower and the one part of her best friend's life Jenna never understood. Thanks to Aimee's will, they are stuck together on a financial front, and Jenna must figure out what elegant Aimee saw in her Star Wars–obsessed, criminally clumsy husband. It isn't easy. Jenna resents Wayne and the fact that she has to deal with him when she doesn't know how to deal with her own grief. Unsurprisingly, it's when Jenna and Wayne begin to see each other as people in their own right, and not in relation to Aimee, that the healing begins. Some of the story's pleasure derives from the sheer Pinterest-quality abundance of goods—cookies, cashmere and Chicago restaurants abound. A recipe index is offered for aspiring chefs. But Ballis has real things to say about relationships and grief, and at its best, this book is honest and touching.
A cozy meal, with dessert.

Bowl Market Copenhagen
If you're looking for some quality vegan food at reasonable prices and delicious coffee with perfectly steamed oat milk, it's worth making the trip to Bowl Market Copenhagen. Located in Inner Vetserbro, this delightful cafe is perhaps a little bit out off the beaten track, but once you get there, with the cosy atmosphere and friendly staff, you'll be glad you went.
The weather was against us on the day we picked to trudge over, with rain absolutely chucking it down. It was a long (we came from Amagerbro!) walk and honestly we didn't think we were ever going to get there. But we did and were greeted by some slightly steamed up windows and a full house. Bowl Market Copenhagen is quite a small coffee shop and was busy at 1.30 on a Sunday; we were lucky to get the three stools in front of the window.
Friendly Staff
I'd been chatting on Instagram with Trey from Bowl Market and was looking forward to trying their coffee. When we arrived, he wasn't there, but he did come back in during our visit because he heard I was inside. Trey's an extremely amicable man who takes genuine pride in his business and his staff. I wish we'd gotten to talk longer but he had to head off to his son's soccer game.
Specialty Coffee
I ordered an Oatly latte, served in a glass, from a very friendly barista and my two guys each had a hot chocolate in a cup. Fast service brought our perfectly steamed hot drinks and I sat there, happily looking out the window enjoying my delicious drink. The barista skills were on point – the hot chocolate without cream had a beautiful heart/Rosetta design and the oat latte had a near perfect tulip. Impressive!!
The beans were from The Coffee Collective and made for a smooth brew with no real defining tasting notes for my palette. Combined with the Oatly though it was a perfectly balanced coffee and one that I would walk all those miles again for.
Vegan Food
Bowl Market Copenhagen has an incredible menu with plenty of vegan food options. Healthy porridges with endless toppings, beautiful, rich acai bowls full of heart-healthy antioxidants, and some dinner options that include a zucchini porridge! Lots of colourful, healthy choices. The only downside for me was that I spotted some gorgeous looking cookies on display but they weren't vegan – sad times!
Trey and Bowl Market Copenhagen, thank you for the incredibly warm welcome, the delicious coffee, and the haven from the downpour. I will be back next time I'm in my favourite city, for sure!

I actually felt nature tickling my bones.
The core of me was rapidly awoken.
Where had I been all my life?
I had been living in the human world.
A world full of dead things-plastic, glass and metal.
A world manmade, that ensures it's survival by viciously sucking the life out of our wounded natural world.
The trees, the oceans, the rivers, the mountains, the animals, the landscape-are dying, a slow painful death, defenceless against the power of humankind.
Humankind, so powerful, yet so stupid.
-and such is our demise.
As I wandered, I felt every part of me absorb the life.
The life that nature so innocently and so brilliantly exudes.
My senses were drowning in this little piece of heaven.
I felt like a stranger.
Like I didn't deserve to be here in this private place.
It belonged to the animals, to the sweet singing bird life, to the lily pads, the reeds, the frogs.
–and yet I felt welcome.
The animals were not angry,
The trees were not suspicious,
they were simply trying to survive.
The stillness was suffocatingly spectacular.
I noticed my breath, as it deepened in the silence.
Sadness invaded my thoughts as I realised that I had forgotten what it felt like to be one with nature.
Sadness that this beautiful place, that once traversed the earth, was now defined by boundaries.
A little piece of nature surrounded by an 80 hectare prison wall.
An invisible wall that is the entry to the human world.
The human world you and I live in, that has forgotten what is important.
The slaughter of our environment continues.
The denial of it's private struggle for survival, continues.
It has no defence.
It has no advocate,
It has little time.
It cries in the night, but everyone is sleeping.
Humankind- so evolved, so powerful, so destructive, so oblivious, so stupid.
-and such is our demise.

Validity Evaluations
edCount specializes in applying an argument-based approach to validity evaluation, designed to help clients articulate and evaluate the meaning of their assessment scores in the context of their entire education system. After helping clients articulate a theory of action describing their assessment system's purpose and underlying logic model, we develop a plan to assess the validity of the model. This may suggest a variety of different studies that are necessary to establish evidence of the validity of an assessment score's meaning and use. edCount's involvement may end with developing a plan or we may conduct any one of the many types of studies deemed necessary to establish validity in the context of the assessment system.
Some studies we conduct include:
Performance Level Descriptor Studies
edCount helps state-level clients compare their descriptions of different student performance levels (e.g., "advanced," "proficient," "basic") with student performance data, to ensure that their performance level descriptors (PLDs) accurately describe student ability, and to ensure the cut scores that sort students into these levels are appropriately placed.
Consequential Validity and Instructional Use Studies
edCount designs and conducts studies to help clients assess and evaluate the impact assessment outcomes have on their schools and classrooms. The information collected from these studies can inform changes to improve instruction and decision-making processes.
Cognitive Labs
edCount designs and conducts cognitive lab studies, in which students describe their thought processes and thinking as they respond to assessment items, to collect information about whether assessments are eliciting the intended cognitive processes. These studies can help state and local entities understand why students may struggle with certain items or content areas on an assessment, and, as a result, provide feedback about ways to improve instruction.
Learner Characteristics Studies
edCount helps clients identify and evaluate the characteristics of the population of students who participate in various assessments by disseminating, collecting, and interpreting survey data.
Standard Setting and Cut Score Studies
edCount helps clients conduct standard setting studies, establish cut scores, and validate existing cut-scores. At edCount workshops, experienced teachers provide input to ensure that differences in students' scores on the assessment correspond to meaningful differences in performance on relevant academic standards.

Portable Generator Buying Guide
A portable generator can be a great option for families looking to safeguard themselves and their homes in a power-related emergency. This type of generator is a much lower-priced alternative to standby generators. Portable generators can keep power running in an emergency when you're feeling anxious and panicked and can help to give you a little peace of mind.
This being said, you need to select the portable generator that suits your needs. They are not all created equal, and choosing the one that will suit you best is a must. This guide will tell you everything you need to know.
How To Pick a Generator That Suits Your Needs
It's absolutely imperative that you don't just go out and purchase any old generator. You need to pick one that suits your needs. You can start by looking at watts for the items you feel you'll need to power in a power outage, and selecting the wattage of your generator accordingly. Even getting the wattage wrong could mean wasting thousands on a generator that wasn't right for you.
Some wonder whether a portable generator or a standby generator is the right choice. If the price is a deciding factor, then portable is a great option as you don't have to pay out half as much. Here are some of the most important things to consider when selecting your portable generator:
Type of Fuel – gasoline, propane (LP), natural gas, diesel or even solar energy can be used to power generators. Most portable generators on the market are fueled by gasoline. It's important to have a lot of spare fuel on hand regardless. Storing this fuel properly is also essential for safety purposes. The fact that you'll probably have to store it in the house could very well affect the kind of generator you choose. Propane burns cleaner, for example, and carbon monoxide emissions are up to 40% lower. Propane will not degrade either. However, your portable generator produces less wattage from propane than from gasoline. It all depends on what is important to you.
Capacity – you need to consider carefully how many appliances you're going to want the generator to power. They are unlikely to be powerful enough to keep your entire house running as normal, such as the refrigerator, water pump, heater, and other appliances all at once. The smaller models can potentially run two appliances, and bigger ones may be able to run 4 or 5. You can figure out what you need by adding up the wattage of your tools, appliances, and motors and then select your generator's wattage to match or exceed the total load. Some appliances may need an extra surge of wattage to actually start up, so this can affect your requirement too.
Ease of use – a generator is usually pretty easy to power up, however, a single person may struggle to lift or move the generator. Having tires on the generator will make it far easier to move.
Starting the generator – there are both electric start generators and manual start generators. In some cases you just push a button, however, a pull start can be harder.
Oil Guard – if the oil levels fall below the minimum, it can affect the generator and some of them will switch themselves off automatically. Some low-cost generators don't have this feature, but the more expensive models do.
Wattage output regulation – some generators have better technology than others, allowing smooth and consistent wattage output. They are able to deliver higher quality, cleaner electricity than other models. It all depends on how clean and reliable you would like the energy from your generator to be. With something like this, there's no need to worry about damage caused by unrefined energy.
The noise levels – some generators tend to produce more noise than others. A quiet generator would be preferred by all consumers, but each model can vary. That being said, most models do fall in the range of between 50-80. The average is around 73 decibels. You may need to enquire about this separately when purchasing your generator, as they don't always include it in the specs.
Fuel gauge or fuel level monitor – checking the fuel level at a glance is convenient, especially during long power outages.
The number of outlets – around 4 or more outlets will give you best use of a generator's wattage by spreading out the load. The more outlets the generator has, the better it will be for you to use.
How long until you need to add more fuel – many portable generators on the market run for 8-12 hours on 50%, which is more than enough to leave them on for the night.
What To Be Aware Of When Choosing A Portable Generator
When looking at a permanently installed standby generator, a portable backup unit requires less money up front. You're looking to spend about $500 to $2,000, versus $4,000 on a non-portable generator. They are pretty easy to get up and running too. It's worth bearing in mind that a portable generator can take 34 gallons of gas to run an average-size portable for two days, however, it can vary from model to model. You should factor all of this into the price.
One very important thing to remember is that carbon monoxide poisoning is possible if the portable generator isn't stored or used correctly. It must be checked over regularly, and the batteries may need to be replaced. Because of the issues with carbon monoxide, you should:
- Never use your generator in the house, even if you have lots of ventilation. This includes your garage.
- Have the generator outside, away from your home. Keep it away from doors, windows, and vents. Pick a safe location and do a test run to ensure your cables are long enough.
- Always read the instructions that come with the generator and ensure that it's properly working. You may also want to check the manufacturer website to be 100% that it's safe.
Make sure you take this seriously and operate your generator correctly to keep your loved ones safe. Providing your generator is operated correctly, it can be a convenient and cost-effective way to stay comfortable in an emergency.
The Pros and Cons Of Portable Generators
Here's a quick rundown of the pros and cons of portable generators to help you figure out what's right for you:
- A cost-effective option for when you lose power.
- Many different makes and models suited to different needs.
- Easy to use.
- Can power up to 5 appliances at once with the right model.
- You have to be home to operate it.
- Like a car, it gives off smelly exhaust fumes, heat, and noise.
- If not properly ventilated, a portable could cause a fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
As you can see, there are a few downsides to the pros of the portable generator. However, they pretty much all boil down to you using it correctly. It may not be for everybody, but it's the perfect solution for people who want to prepare for a power outage without the premium price tag. You've got to monitor the system very closely to ensure you and your loved ones stay safe, but providing you are vigilant, check over our generator, and store it properly, you shouldn't experience any problems.
Use this buying guide to purchase the right portable generator for you, and you and your loved ones will have total peace of mind if you do experience a power cut.

One of the attractive low activation steels is the austenitic Mn-Cr steel from the view point of waste disposal because of few long-lived nuclides. In this paper, three types of Mn-Cr austenitic steels were fabricated by vacuum induction furnace. Then plates with 10 mm thickness were fabricated by hot-rolling. The physical metallurgy of these steels was studied by the corrected Schaeffler diagram, X-ray and electron diffraction patterns. The corrected Schaeffler diagram and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results have shown that the matrix of these steels is a single γ-phase structure. Also, the corrosion behaviour in 0.1M HCl solution was evaluated by open-circuit potential, Tafel polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results of Tafel polarization experiments show corrosion current density of all three Cr-Mn steels is in the range of 10-4 A cm-2 which indicates their appropriate resistance in this acidic environment. The Nyquist plots showed that polarization resistance from the first to third Cr-Mn steels decreases. This trend is due to increase in corrosion current density which corresponds to Tafel polarization curves.

Living the Dream
My family visited the Black Hills area just over two years ago and decided then that if we were ever to move again, this would be the place to be. Fast forward two years and here we are, now residents of Rapid City and living our dream. My husband and I have three daughters ages 12 to 5 daughters and our main goal was to make this a smooth and easy move; one that has been made easier by all the beauty that surrounds us. We love to embrace the outdoors and what better place to do it!
Our first week, being in the middle of a move, we hit many of the free spots offered by the community; Storybook Island, Dinosaur Park, Main Street Square, as well as areas to go hiking and exploring right here in Rapid City! The Outdoor Campus West and Hanson-Larsen Memorial Park, aka: "M" hill, quickly became some of our favorites!
As amazing as all of those are, we weren't going to be limited. A little research and we learned about season passes to some of the places the girls were sure they wanted to visit; Reptile Gardens, Bear Country USA and Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
I know we have barely scratched the surface, but we are excited to be living OUR dream in such beautiful country. We hope you enjoy our journey and learn some of the cool, fun things to do with your kids as well!
