These generate /etc/adjtime automatically and update the RTC accordingly no further configuration is required.ĭuring kernel startup, at the point when the RTC driver is loaded, the system clock may be set from the hardware clock. To revert to the hardware clock being in UTC, type: To change the hardware clock time standard to localtime, use: $ timedatectl | grep local RTC in local TZ: no You can see the current hardware clock time standard of the Arch system using: The hardware clock can be queried and set with the timedatectl command. Otherwise, if the hardware clock is set to localtime, more than one operating system may adjust it after a DST change for example, thus resulting in an over-correction problems may also arise when traveling between different time zones and using one of the operating systems to reset the system/hardware clock. If multiple operating systems are installed on a machine, they will all derive the current time from the same hardware clock: it is recommended to set it to UTC to avoid conflicts across systems. Sets the time to May 26th, year 2014, 11:13 and 54 seconds. # timedatectl set-time "yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss" To set the local time of the system clock directly: To check the current system clock time (presented both in local time and UTC) as well as the RTC (hardware clock): The Linux kernel keeps track of the system clock by counting timer interrupts. After boot-up has completed, the system clock runs independently of the hardware clock.

See hwclock(8) § The Adjtime File for more information on this file as well as the #Time skew section. Additionally it updates /etc/adjtime or creates it if not present. The following sets the hardware clock from the system clock. A UEFI firmware has the additional ability to store the timezone, and whether DST is used. the Real Time Clock (RTC) or CMOS clock) stores the values of: Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, and Seconds. An OS that uses the UTC standard will generally consider the hardware clock as UTC and make an adjustment to it to set the OS time at boot according to the time zone. By default, Windows uses localtime, macOS uses UTC, other UNIX and UNIX-like systems vary. ![]() The standard used by the hardware clock (CMOS clock, the BIOS time) is set by the operating system. Though conceptually different, UTC is also known as GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). The localtime standard is dependent on the current time zone, while UTC is the global time standard and is independent of time zone values. There are two time standards: localtime and Coordinated Universal Time ( UTC).

Supermodel Gigi Hadid, sister to fellow models Bella and Anwar, has remained a mainstay on catwalks and magazine covers since her breakthrough in 2014. Malik’s 2016 debut solo album was also a transatlantic No 1, though two further albums proved less commercially and critically successful. With 42 million followers on Instagram, Malik remains a high-profile celebrity, even if his music career has waned after the success of One Direction, who topped the US and UK charts with four out of five of their studio albums. The rare update from Zayn comes following his recent media fiasco related to his altercation with Gigi’s mom, Yolanda Hadid. Neither Malik nor Hadid have commented on the claims of a split. Reporting the statement, People magazine also quoted an unnamed family friend of the Hadids, who said the couple had split up. Gigi Hadid’s representative has released a statement, saying: “Gigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. Despite a rocky relationship, the couple welcomed a baby girl in September 2020, whom they named Khai Hadid Malik. ![]() Malik and Gigi Hadid’s on-off relationship began in 2015, with Khai born in September 2020.

He is emotional and empathetic and cries while watching emotional movies. Gigi revealed that she and Malik were expecting their first child. Zayn surpassed One direction at number 2 and Justin Bieber at number one to take over the top position on Billboard 100. He said that in order to protect a “safe and private space” for daughter Khai, he “agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago … but it seems for now there is divisiveness … I am hopeful though for healing for all involved.” Khai Hadid Malik is the name of Zayn and Gigis daughter. In a separate statement on Twitter to his 31 million followers, without naming Yolanda he acknowledged there had been “harsh words shared” in an argument. ![]() The pop singer and former member of boyband One Direction issued a statement saying: “I adamantly deny striking Yolanda Hadid and for the sake of my daughter I decline to give any further details and I hope that Yolanda will reconsider her false allegations and move towards healing these family issues in private.” ![]() ![]() ![]() The atomic weight of hydrogen has been based on mass-spectrometric The low concentration of ²H in normal sources of hydrogen may have delayed itsĭiscovery until 1931 when hydrogen isotope fractionation was demonstrated by distillation, electrolysis, evaporation,Īnd in environmental samples. The minor stable isotope ²H is known asĭeuterium, with symbol D. The long-term pathway focuses on both (1) cold or cryo-compressed hydrogen storage, where increased hydrogen density and insulated pressure vessels may allow for DOE targets to be met and (2) materials-based hydrogen storage technologies, including sorbents, chemical hydrogen storage materials, and metal hydrides, with properties having potential to meet DOE hydrogen storage targets.The major stable isotope ¹H is also known as protium. ![]() The near-term pathway focuses on compressed gas storage, using advanced pressure vessels made of fiber reinforced composites that are capable of reaching 700 bar pressure, with a major emphasis on system cost reduction. To overcome these challenges HFTO is pursuing two strategic pathways, targeting both near-term and long-term solutions. Onboard hydrogen storage capacities of 5–13 kg hydrogen will be required to meet the driving range for the full range of light-duty vehicle platforms. On a volume basis, however, the situation is reversed liquid hydrogen has a density of 8 MJ/L whereas gasoline has a density of 32 MJ/L, as shown in the figure comparing energy densities of fuels based on lower heating values. On a mass basis, hydrogen has nearly three times the energy content of gasoline-120 MJ/kg for hydrogen versus 44 MJ/kg for gasoline. The importance of the 300-mile-range goal can be appreciated by looking at the sales distribution by range chart on this page, which shows that most vehicles sold today are capable of exceeding this minimum. The required large storage volumes may have less impact for larger vehicles, but providing sufficient hydrogen storage across all light-duty platforms remains a challenge. While some light-duty hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) that are capable of this range have emerged onto the market, these vehicles will rely on compressed gas onboard storage using large-volume, high-pressure composite vessels. However, fuel-cell-powered vehicles require enough hydrogen to provide a driving range of more than 300 miles with the ability to quickly and easily refuel the vehicle. This is less of an issue for stationary applications, where the footprint of compressed gas tanks may be less critical. Presently available storage options typically require large-volume systems that store hydrogen in gaseous form. High density hydrogen storage is a challenge for stationary and portable applications and remains a significant challenge for transportation applications. Related links provide details about DOE-funded hydrogen storage activities. The Hydrogen Materials-Advanced Research Consortium (HyMARC) conducts foundational research to understand the interaction of hydrogen with materials in relation to the formation and release of hydrogen from hydrogen storage materials.

The goal is to provide adequate hydrogen storage to meet the U.S. HFTO conducts research and development activities to advance hydrogen storage systems technology and develop novel hydrogen storage materials. ![]() ![]() ![]() HOAs and Neighborhood Associations are rarely equipped or trained to make responsible decisions when it comes to invasive surveillance technology. ![]() It might also go to hundreds of other police departments around the country through Flock’s new and aptly-named TALON program, which links ALPRs around the country. ![]() It goes not just to neighbors, but also to Flock employees, and even your local police. These dangers are only made worse by the broad dissemination of this sensitive information. These ALPR cameras also give law enforcement the ability to learn the comings and goings of every car, effectively making it impossible for drivers to protect their privacy. If a married couple’s cars are never at the house at the same time, neighbors could infer relationship discord. If a person’s car stops leaving in the morning, a nosy neighbor at the neighborhood association could infer that they may have lost their job. But you can actually tell a lot of personal information about a person by learning their daily routines-and when they deviate from those routines. The fact that your car passes a certain stop sign at a particular time of day may not seem like invasive information. Whatever motivates that individual - racial biases, frustration with another neighbor, even disagreements among family members - could all be used in conjunction with ALPR records to implicate someone in a crime, or in any variety of other legal-but-uncomfortable situations. There are thousands of reasons why a person might be passing through a community, but ALPRs allow anyone in the neighborhood to decide who belongs and who doesn’t. But driving through a neighborhood should not lead to suspicion. And some of these ALPR systems (including Flock ’s) can be programmed to allow all neighbors to have access to the records of vehicle comings and goings. They essentially turn any neighborhood into a gated community by casting suspicion on everyone who comes and goes. The Danger ALPRs Present To Your NeighborhoodĪLPRs are billed as neighborhood watch tools that allow a community to record which cars enter and leave, and when. However, there is little empirical evidence that such surveillance reduces crime.ĪLPRs do, however, present a host of other potential problems for people who live, work, or commute in a surveilled area. ![]() ALPR vendors, like other surveillance salespeople, operate on the assumption that surveillance will reduce crime by either making would-be criminals aware of the surveillance in hopes it will be a deterrent, or by using the technology to secure convictions of people that have allegedly committed crimes in the neighborhood. For some communities, this might mean hundreds of cars end up under suspicion.Īlso, despite what ALPR vendors like Flock Safety and Vigilant Solutions claim, there is no real evidence that ALPRs reduce crime. But this will lead to innocent people becoming suspects because they happened to drive through a specific neighborhood. People imagine that if a crime is committed, an association member can hand over to police the license plate numbers of everyone that drove past a camera around the time the crime is believed to have been committed. This is part of a larger nationwide trend that shows that people’s fear of crime is incredibly high and getting higher, despite the fact that crime rates in the United States are low by historical standards. Some members of a community think that, whether they’ve experienced crime in their neighborhood or not, a neighborhood needs increased surveillance in order to be safe. But the truth is, these cameras-which record every license plate coming in and out of the neighborhood-may create more problems than they solve. Local groups often turn to license plate readers thinking that they will protect their community from crime. Every week EFF receives emails from members of homeowner’s associations wondering if their Homeowner’s Association (HOA) or Neighborhood Association is making a smart choice by installing automated license plate readers (ALPRs). ![]() ![]() ![]() The app securely stores your data digitally. Most of the process is still the same as a manual system. A number of businesses use apps like Microsoft Excel for receipt tracking. Businesses either choose to go partially digital or can invest in a software that streamlines the entire process. There are different ways in which an app-based receipt tracking system works. The extra workload leaves both the accounting team and the employees unhappy. The manual process of approval can take a large amount of time delaying reimbursement for the employees. The employees submit paper receipts of all expenses to the accounting team. Let’s also have a quick look at the process of reimbursing receipts submitted by employees. A lot of time and effort is invested in this process which can easily be streamlined with a cloud-based system. While many people believe that this is the simplest way to manage your receipts, it is not. In case something happens to the hard copy of the documents, we at least have the digital ones. ![]() So most of the times, businesses assign a person to create scans of these documents. This file needs to be kept in safe hands because it has all the confidential details of your company.Ī business just can’t afford to lose this data. After that, they are chronologically documented into a physical file. Since these receipts need to follow a set format, a particular person is assigned to fill in these receipts. Usually, small business owners generate these receipts on a daily basis. The process of auditing becomes a lot easier if a company has maintained all its records clearly.įirst, let’s talk about the sales receipts, the bills that a business generates for its sales. They will prove useful when you are submitting your details for tax exemptions. Keeping a copy of the tax deductible receipts is also very important. If one type of item is tax deductible, other items listed under the category are also likely to be tax deductible. This kind of grouping can prove advantageous when looking for tax deductions during the tax season. Receipt scanning apps can make managing your bills much easier and advantageous.Īdditionally, digitally stored bills can be categorized into various sub-heads to generate specific sector reports. With the help of a good software, a business can make the process of expense report generation fully automated. This data can then be used to create expense reports for the business. A good receipt scanning and receipt tracking software will magically smoothen the process of data entry for your employees. They are also easy to lose and difficult to store. Paper receipts contribute to the long chain of paper waste. The amount of time and effort that is spent by employees on hand-filling all documents is humongous. A good receipt scanner and tracker can reduce the administrative burden on the employees. Managing your receipts efficiently can have wide-ranging benefits for your business. Why is managing your receipts so important? The benefits of moving your receipt system online are very far-reaching. Paper receipts are a hassle to deal with. They also have special features that can create expense reports and smart receipts. Receipt scanning apps are very useful when it comes to receipt scanning, receipt tracking and expense tracking. Small business owners can keep a track of all revenue generated by the business by having an efficient receipt tracking system. Apart from expense receipts, a business also generates sales receipts, for the goods that it is selling to its customers. Such receipts are also generated when a business buys a service, for example, maintenance services, cleaning services, furnishing service etc.Īnother kind of expense receipts are reimbursable receipts that employees submit to the accounts team. These receipts are also generated when a business invests in fixed assets like furniture, machinery, any other equipment required for business use. It can also be generated for the raw materials a business buys for production. Such receipts are generated by suppliers from whom the business buys goods for resale. When it comes to household expenses, receipt tracking helps with keeping a check on the total expenses of the family.Ĭompanies usually deal with two kinds of receipts. It also helps you keep an eye on your business’s total sales. Receipt tracking helps business owners know where their money is going. It is the process of storing and filing your receipts in an organized manner to keep a track of your expenses. ![]() ![]() ![]() And some states, including Alabama and Michigan, require that the consideration be clearly stated. If money is changing hands-such as when real estate is being sold-deeds will usually list a nominal amount of consideration (e.g., $10.00) or list the actual purchase price of the property. But to avoid title issues, it is still good practice for the deed to recite at least a nominal amount of consideration (usually $10.00), even if no money changes hands. Because a deed is not a contract, many state laws do not require a deed to recite a specific amount of consideration. Rather, it is the fulfillment of the transferor’s intent to transfer real estate. When no money is changing hands, the transferor will often use a Quitclaim Deed to transfer title to the real estate.Ī deed is not a contract to sell real estate.
