![]() Using a biometric time clock can mitigate these kinds of mistakes and save time combing through problematic data. ![]() When that happens, you’ll have inaccurate data to sort through. Even when buddy punching isn’t a concern, it’s always possible that an employee could mistakenly clock in for someone else.įor example, if there are two employees, one whose passcode is 5872 and another whose code is 5873, it wouldn’t be too hard to make a silly mistake and enter the wrong number, especially when an employee is new on the job. Since biometric clocks rely on unique physiological biomarkers, biometric employee punch-in and punch-out data is more accurate than other systems. Plus, they’ll want to make sure they don’t lose out on payment for being late or leaving early. After all, you can’t share your fingerprint with your coworkers.Īs a result, employees are incentivized to show up and leave on time so that they avoid disciplinary action, which they could have otherwise circumvented. When the time clock relies on unique biometric data, it’s impossible to punch-in for someone else. Buddy punching only works when employees can punch-in with shareable pass codes, badges, etc. With a biometric clock, this simply isn’t possible - at least not without an impractical and gargantuan effort. When this occurs, it will appear that the original employee worked longer than they did, and they’ll be paid for that time. In some cases, an employee may leave their shift early and ask their coworker, who is staying later, to punch-out for them. Even though the employee arrives 30 minutes later, it will appear to management that they arrived on time, and they’ll be paid accordingly. For example, an employee may be running late, so they text their coworker, who is on-time, and ask them to punch-in for them. Eliminates “Buddy Punching” and Time Theftīuddy punching occurs when one employee asks another to punch-in for them even though they haven’t arrived for work yet. Now that we understand what a biometric time clock is, let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons that come from using them. When an employee clocks in with a biometric time clock, instead of inputting their employee ID, swiping their badge, or inputting a paper card, they simply place their finger or hand on a scanner, which then recognizes the employee and notes down the time electronically in the database.Īlthough it sounds easier than other methods, and in many cases it is, there are also issues that can come from relying on biometric time clocks. The only difference is that they identify employees through biometric data, like fingerprints, irises, face shape, or hand shape. Nowadays, time clocks are more commonly digital and use employee ID numbers, swipe cards, or other identifiers to log the start and end times into a database.īiometric time clocks follow the same basic principles. In the past, employees would put paper cards into a mechanical time clock, which would then stamp the time onto the card. A time clock, also known as a punch clock, time recorder, or clock card machine, is a tool that records when an hourly employee starts (punches in) and ends (punches out) their shift. What Is a Biometric Time Clock?īefore we get into biometric time clocks, let’s first clarify what a regular time clock is. Here, we’re going to give you an overview of biometric time clocks, their pros and cons, the best options on the market, and an alternative solution you may want to consider. While biometric time clocks can bring convenience to your business, they can also lead to other issues, some of which can be quite serious. Thanks to the advances of modern technology, business owners can now monitor their employees’ arrival and departure times using fingerprints instead of punch cards. ![]() Biometric time clocks may sound like something out of a science fiction movie or a dystopian novel, but they’re as real as it gets.

![]() Enter the Bakblade, equipped with a long handle and an equally extreme reach. If you’re shaving your back without any help, then you need a contraption designed for solo use-and a trustworthy one given the blindspots at play. Cons: Difficult to use anywhere except the back, due to its design.Pros: Achieves a super close shave with an easy learning curve.Key Features: Replaceable dry-glide blades, ergonomic and foldable handle (18 inches), exfoliating back brush on reverse side of head.It’s waterproof, which makes cleanup that much less of a problem, and I even use it to draw clean necklines when I’m in a pinch it’s probably the single best tool you can bring on the go if you only anticipate needing fast cleanups from head to toe. It’s so easy to whip out and do a quick once-over on the chest, or even trim any pit hair that is visible when my arms are at my side. Every time I use this one, I wonder why other brands haven’t copied the genius vertical teeth with an angled head, which allows for easier movement and angling in any body part or blind spot. We called Panasonic’s ER-KG60 trimmer the best body hair trimmer a couple years back, and it’s been dethroned by the brand’s own upgrade, the ER-KG80. Cons: When used without its sensitivity guard, the bare clipper can sometimes leave a (painless) red tooth mark on skin.Pros: Innovative design makes this the easiest device to use in odd angles and crevices, or behind the back.Key Features: Ergonomic trimmer head, 0.01mm clip, adjustable trimmer head (3-12mm), rounded teeth, sensitivity trimming guard, waterproof.If all that sounds like a lot of meaningless jargon to you, relax: we already worked through all the thorny calculations. It’s not that tricky: most of the same features you’d consider when buying any grooming device-cutting power, ease-of-use, battery life-are key here too, though ergonomics factor heavily into the equation (and safety-enhancing features like extra-fine blades and bonus guard combs should be a prerequisite). (You don’t use the same soap on your hands as you do on your ass, right?) In a pinch, you could probably get away with using a really good, really clean, electric shaver, but we’d advise against taking the lazy way out here: using a beard trimmer-or worse, a regular razor-might seem efficient, but you’re more likely to bungle the job and leave your device coughing up gunk for months after. The long, spindly hairs on your back, the gnarly thicket of hair on your shoulders: all of it differs-in size, shape, and texture-from the hair on your face, so pruning those areas naturally demands a different set of tools. The Best Body Groomer Attachment: Braun "Eas圜lick" body groomer attachment, $110.The Best Body Groomer for Hours-Long Use: Wahl "Manscaper" body groomer, $60.The Best Body Grooming Kit: Remington PG525 head to toe body groomer kit, $24.The Best Body Hair Shaver: Philips Norelco Bodygroom 3500 trimmer and shaver, $49. ![]() The Best Dedicated Pube Trimmer: Meridian Below-the-Belt trimmer, $85.The Best Dedicated Back Shaver: Bakblade 2.0 Elite Plus back shaver, $60.The Best Universal Body Grooming Device: Panasonic ER-KG80 body trimmer, $110.We're not so into full-on dolphin skin, but like your beard and head hair, body hair shouldn’t be left to its own devices: You should be intentional about how you wear it. We tend to land somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. Some guys like to keep it smooth all around, while others let it all grow with reckless abandon. Most trimmers provide a warranty of one to two years, but you should always check before you hit the buy button and make that big ball-scaping commitment.We rounded up picks for the best manscaping groomer, because while you don’t get to choose where your body hair sprouts, you can at least dictate how to wear it. When you’re investing in an important electronic item like a trimmer for your balls, getting one with a decent warranty is a good idea, if possible. If you want to sculpt your ball hair and pubis in a particular way or you have thicker hair, opting for at least two to three-guard settings is advisable. Guard settingsĭepending on the look you’re going for (smooth and silky or short and neat, for example), you should consider how many guard settings your potential ball trimmer offers. Okay, it might not take an hour to trim your balls, but the last thing you want to do is rush or have to recharge your trimmer after every use. That said, you should always check the battery life and ensure it offers at least 60 minutes of trimming action. Cords are clunky and hazardous, so opting for a ball trimmer with a rechargeable battery is a must. There’s little point in opting for a corded ball trimmer in the age of the rechargeable battery. ![]() “I’ve seen damage from many tornadoes throughout the Midwest. ![]() “It was extraordinarily difficult to find all the right words.” “I still cannot wrap my mind around the absolute devastation,” said KY3 News Anchor Steve Grant. I was glad to see that thing weaken, and the tornado it was producing was sporadic but no larger than EF2.”Īs survivors slowly returned from their shelter, they came back to see their community devastated by miles upon miles of tornado damage. “By the time I reached the office, the storm had turned right and was headed for Galena. “On the current track, that tornado was headed straight for Springfield,” said Hearst. NWS reports the tornado dissipated around 6:12 p.m. Generations braved the monster storm for more than half an hour before it weakened. ![]() It intensified to catastrophic levels when it officially reached Joplin city limits at 5:41 p.m. The twister formed near the junction of State Highway JJ and West 32nd Street. NWS reports the tornado initially hit at 5:34 p.m. This provided most residents with at least 17 minutes of lead time in advance of the tornado, according to an NWS Story Map. After communicating with emergency officials, the NWS Forecast Office in Springfield issued a tornado warning for Joplin and neighboring communities at 5:17 p.m. “Two thunderstorms eventually merged just west of Joplin and began producing the mega tornado.”įast-forward several hours, storm chasers and spotters reported multiple vortices just west of Joplin city limits. “At one point there were five or six storms all capable of producing, or ones that produced a tornado over in southeast Kansas,” recalls KY3 Chief Meteorologist Ron Hearst. Meteorologists tracked a supercell thunderstorm forming between southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri, though it wasn’t exactly clear what the storm system would bring into the early evening. CT, indicating conditions were favorable for tornadoes in Missouri and three neighboring states.Ĭold fronts clashed with warm fronts throughout the afternoon. Two days later, NWS issued a tornado watch around 1:30 p.m. The National Weather Service projected the potential for a severe weather system two days in advance, issuing an alert for a hazardous weather outlook on May 20, 2011. Fewer than one percent of all tornadoes reach EF5 status, while even fewer of those strike populated areas, like Joplin, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The 2011 twister not only embodied characteristics of the “Tornado Alley” region but carried them out to an extent rarely seen in the Midwest. The characters in The Thing don't know who the monster is and that creates mistrust in a very claustrophobic setting, which certainly didn't help matters. ![]() What I mean is that the idea of paranoia as a result of the fact that you don't know who has the virus is very similar to The Thing, where this.monster is able to mimic human beings perfectly. I realize that that's probably the first, and only time, anyone will ever compare this to one of the classics. Conceptually, the movie plays out very much like Carpenter's The Thing. The problem, of course, is everything else. Watching the flesh-eating virus as it takes effect over our characters is a joy to watch. I don't think the practical effects are ever as gruesome as those in Patient Zero and it feels like to give the appearance that this was a better film than it actually was, but it's still really damn strong. And, if there was only one expectation I came into with this movie, was for it to have quality blood and gore and, honestly, the movie definitely delivered on that. Shame they were servicing a movie that was, largely, not very good. It was really impressive for what, essentially, was a low-budget direct-to-video affair. I wouldn't go out of my way to say that that was a good movie, but I felt that it had tremendous practical special and make-up effects. I'll be honest, the only other Cabin Fever movie I watched (there's two more, if you weren't aware), was Patient Zero. ![]() No one had anything positive to say about this movie. I'm honestly surprised that, out of 28 reviews on RottenTomatoes, there was not a single positive one. The pointof the matter is that this really is an absolutely unnecessary update of the original movie and, quite frankly, it's worse than the original. I only watched it the one time in the theaters and I would welcome a re-watch. Honestly, as much as I've enjoyed some Eli Roth movies, as far as I remember, I wasn't that big of a fan of the original Cabin Fever. That would actually be a pretty cool idea. Which, I'm assuming, has a big cult following and it can be a merging of two different generations of horror fans, those who watched the movie when it first came out (I was a part of that, I was 14 when the original came out) and those who want to experience it for themselves for the first time because they may have been too young to watch it. If the idea was to bring the Cabin Fever story to a new generation of horror fans, given that, again, at that point, almost half a decade had passed between movies, then why not just do a re-release of the original. Quite possibly the most unnecessary horror remake in quite some time. And then, a couple of days after that movie, I end up watching this. I remember talking, in my Mad Money review, about how, while there are still remakes left and right in Hollywood, they aren't as bad or as prevalent now as they were in the past. ![]() I think that's just way too short of a time to wait for a remake, to be perfectly honest. At the point of this movie's release, 14 years had passed between the original movie and its remake.

Caroline grew equally captivated by the night sky and absorbed her brother’s knowledge of astronomy. While continuing her musical studies and looking after the household, she worked by her brother’s side. Also an accomplished musician, she played the harpsichord and sang. She had been living a cloistered life in Hanover looking after their mother and eagerly accepted the offer, arriving in England in 1772. To manage his dual commitments to music and astronomy, William invited his 22-year-old sister, Caroline, to join him in Bath after the death of their father. ![]() ( NASA's Webb Telescope captures jaw-dropping views of the cosmos.) A giant discoveryīy the early 1770s William was studying telescope design. However great his love for music, it was no match for astronomy and his self-proclaimed mission to learn “the construction of the heavens.” These interests led to physics, then to optics, which introduced him to astronomy. He studied the relationship between acoustics and mathematics. He joined the Bath Philosophical Society, and through lectures, discussions, and readings soaked up the latest findings in science and physics. William placed himself in the thick of it. Located around 100 miles west of London, fast-growing Bath had a lively intellectual scene at the time. He found work as a music copyist, then tutored and performed until he landed a spot as church organist in Bath in 1766. But, as the Seven Years’ War with France closed in on Hanover, William fled to London, arriving in 1758 at the age of 20. William, 12 years older than his sister, learned to play the oboe, violin, and organ, and followed his father into music. He insisted on a musical education for his 10 children as a means to social advancement. Their father, Isaac, played oboe in the city’s military band, a few steps up from his own father’s position as a gardener. Their chosen profession was a long way from the humble life of the Herschel family in Hanover, Germany. With improved telescopes of William’s design, the siblings made the first systematic observations of the stars and nebulae beyond the solar system, setting the course for the modern, scientific discipline of astronomy. Until the Herschels, stargazing had largely been limited to observing the sun, moon, and planets visible to the naked eye. ![]() Whatever history lost musically, it more than gained scientifically. ![]() Brother and sister, William and Caroline Herschel left their promising musical careers to become astronomers. Moses’ wife did not help him lead Israel out of Egypt or give the Ten Commandments. Sarah did not accompany Abraham when he went to offer up his (and her) only begotten son to the Lord (Genesis 22:1–19). For example, Noah’s wife was never consulted by God regarding the building of the ark (Genesis 6-9). Second, there is no precedent of a “First Lady” among the various honorable women of God in the Scriptures, either Old or New Testament. The passage does not even mention a “pastor’s wife.” Those offices that are listed-apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers-are not titles but offices or functions. In Ephesians 4:11–13 Paul lists the various offices that were established by Christ for the purpose of the church’s “attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ” not once is the office, role, or title of “first lady” ever mentioned. No precedent for it can be found in God’s Word, and the practice is in fact antithetical to such principles as servanthood and impartiality among followers of Christ.įirst, there are no instructions in God’s Word on conferring the title “First Lady” on anyone there is no office or role of “first lady” in the local church. ![]() The practice of calling the wife of an elder of a local church “First Lady” (or “First Lady of the Church” or, for short, “Lady ”) does not come from the Bible. |
