In December, Clemson University’s SAE chapter was suspended after the fraternity hosted a “cripmas” party at which students dressed up as gang members.īenjamin Reese Jr., president of the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education and the vice president of institutional equity at Duke University, said he is also not in favor of simply banning all chapters belonging to a specific fraternity.

![]() ![]() ![]() For example, “buddy punching,” is a process where one employee takes the lead in clocking in for another employee when they’re late or absent-which can throw off your employee time and attendance data and make attendance tracking harder. When you rely on paper timesheets or traditional time cards, it makes it easier for employee hours to be misrepresented and time theft to happen-and for your business to lose money. According to research from the American Payroll Association, 75 percent of companies experience some kind of time fraud, costing businesses up to 7 percent of their total payroll each year. It protects your business from time theft.There are a few reasons why you should definitely consider a time clock app for your business, including: There are time clock apps that offer business owners additional features to better manage their team (like computer time tracking or GPS monitoring), but the digital clock in/clock out functionality is a universal function of these types of apps. Your employees can clock in or clock out directly through the app, which keeps a digital record of those time entries. But thanks to technology, there are now digital options that eliminate the need for physical time cards or paper timesheets, which can make a business owner’s job a whole lot easier.īut why, exactly, is employee time clock software so essential for your business?

He gripped your hair and pushed you up against the wall, intensifying the kiss. You stood on your tippy toes and kissed him again. "DO THAT AGAIN." Papyrus said before his face grew red. He walked until you were cornered between the wall and him. "NO NO NO YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY JUST YET!" Papyrus said before he grabbed your wrists. Papyrus didn't respond, so you immediately pulled away and tried to run off but he grabbed you. "L-LIKE?! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL HUMAN?" Papyrus said as he gripped your shirt.

This chapter will contain mature material so read with caution ) ![]() ![]() From the food you eat to the air you breathe, nothing is chemical-free. Firstly, it’s important to note that everything in the world is a chemical. There are a lot of misconceptions about fragrance and the oils -both synthetic and natural -that make them up. For example, what are the fragrances made out of? How good a candle smells is definitely a matter of personal taste, but there are certain things candle makers can do to ensure that you are getting the best version of the scent they’ve designed. ![]() You can tell your candle has a good wick if it burns cleanly, evenly, and creates a pool of liquid wax all the way across the surface of the candle within 2 to 4 hours. The best quality candles will have a wick that is the right size and construction for the candle. This can make your candles burn too fast, flare up and create unsafe flames. Zinc and tin cores have been tested safe, but can often lead to high temperature burning and cause flaring and mushroom wicks. Cotton wicks are generally the best if you want to avoid soot, smoke and flaring. Most wicks are made from cotton with a paper, zinc, tin or cotton core. Wicks used to contain a lead core, which can cause lead poisoning, but they have been banned since 2003. The type of wick used in a candle can affect how evenly it burns, how fast it burns and how much smoke and soot come from your candle. Look for candles that are 100% soy or list an ingredient breakdown. For example, a "soy blend" candle is usually a blend of soy and paraffin. Note: Be wary of candles that are “blends” as they will often list only the main ingredient. Furthermore, soy is made from soybeans, a renewable resource, which makes it environmentally friendly. This is incredibly important to note especially if you live with children and pets. Soy does not release toxins into the air, while paraffin is known to release 11 known toxins (two of which are carcinogens) into the air. Also, since soy burns so cleanly, the scents are stronger and more pure. Soy burns slowly, which results in less soot and smoke, allowing you to enjoy your candle fragrance for longer. Additionally, studies have shown that paraffin wax fumes can cause severe adverse effects on the eyes and respiratory system.Īlternatively, soy wax is a great choice health-wise, scent-wise and it’s eco-friendly. While paraffin is very affordable and easy to use, it is not very eco-friendly and can deposit a lot of soot onto your walls and ceilings. Typically, candles are made from paraffin wax, which is made from petroleum oil and produces harmful byproducts when burned or melted. The first thing you want to consider is the wax. We’re breaking down what makes the best quality candle. With a plethora of waxes, wicks and fragrances out there, how can you tell what really makes up the best quality candle? From smoking, sparking, uneven burning and more, there’s a lot to be concerned about when you’re lighting a flame in your home.

Later versions of the TR-1 offered additional color choices.Īlthough it is not an outstanding performer, the Regency TR-1 is touted as the “First” transistor radio and is probably the most valued and sought after transistor radio by collectors. It was available initially in red, gray, ivory, green, and mahogany. The TR-1 was produced in a variety of colors right from the start. Regency first priced the TR-1 at $49.95 and offered an optional earphone and leather carrying case. The Regency model TR-1 was the first widely marketed transistor radio. This lead to higher production levels and lower production costs and made the price to the consumer affordable. It differed from other prototypes in that due to its circuit design, hand selection of transistors for each individual radio was not necessary. Developed by both Regency and Texas Instruments, the Regency TR-1 used four germanium transistors, which allowed the small 22.5-V battery to last for more than 20 hours. Introduced in October of 1954, the Regency model TR-1 was the first widely marketed transistor radio. It is rumored that one manufacturer of these early transistor radios even supplied shirts to its salesmen with an oversized pocket to fit their radio. They were first advertised as “Pocket Radios” but you needed an awful large pocket to carry one. From the start these transistorized pocket radios were made available in a rainbow of colors. The smaller size, lighter weight, and increased battery life gave these new portable radios a distinct advantage over their vacuum tube predecessors. The first transistorized radios began appearing in stores in the mid 1950s. Although tubes had become smaller, the drain on the batteries required to power these portable tube radios gave them a short life. Many had plastic cases, which made them lighter and more colorful than the bulkier wooden portable radios available just after World War II. Most of these were lunch box size with a carry handle on the top. Small vacuum tube portable radios were available in the early 1950s. It is not uncommon to find a transistor radio at a yard sale for $4 or $5 and sell it the next week for several hundred dollars. Some models are highly sought after by collectors and regularly sell for hundreds of dollars. Today pocket transistor radios manufactured in the 1950s are very collectable.

Amazon is the closest to the average making it the safest among these companies. However, having such high ratio could raise some questions regarding how eBay manages its assets and if some money could be used for investment purposes. As for our three companies, one can observe that Amazon and eBay are more liquid compared to Walmart which is obviously facing issues with too much short-term debts to cover and yet not enough current assets. This capacity is determined by the amount of current assets a company has in hand.

The use of liquid crystal displays was becoming popular as they were cheaper and more efficient than the conventional CRT(cathode ray tubes) displays, to support these emerging display features Microsoft improved the support for LCDs by tweaking the OS and has incorporated support features for LCDs in Windows XP. Support for Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) Well, in Windows XP, the Explorer has been improved and new features like image previewing and task panes have been added to make file accessing easier. Managing files and data on a PC is a very needed role of a good OS, so Windows has natively incorporated Windows Explorer in Windows OS. Graphics is a very basic component for modern computers and Windows OS is based on a graphical user interface and needs graphics memory to run and function, so Microsoft upgraded their graphics software package to DirectX8 and later improved it to DirectX 9 to improve the graphics performance providing users with good graphical freedom. Microsoft offered 30-day free trial to users and after which the user needs to use the activation key to access the OS. This is a simple system that was implemented in the XP OS to prevent people from using the OS components and claiming ownership.
