PFAS are a group of non-degradale chemical compounds that have been used in various industrial activities and consumer goods over the years for their high resistance to heat, oil and water. Examples include firefighting foam, surface treatment for clothing, and non-stick cookware, all of which incorporate PFAS compounds.
Nowadays, these compounds have become a concern since they have been detected in groundwater; soil and drinking water supplies in communities where they've been used. This is concerning, as PFAS linger in the environment for a long time, and some studies indicate they pose a potential threat to health.
How is PFAS Contamination Handled?
Finding a way to remediate groundwater contaminated with PFAS has been difficult. Due to their durable and robust nature, traditional remediation technologies like in situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) and other bioremediation have been unable to remove them to a satisfactory level. This is because the chemical bonds between carbon and fluorine, which are the backbone of PFAS molecules, are very strong.
Another method of remediation involves adsorption using special filters. However, the used filters had to be disposed of following treatment, meaning the PFAS compounds were simply being relocated from one area to another. Fortunately, PFAS removal technology has seen significant advancements.
OLEOLOGY has provided remediation solutions to governments and councils, the oil and gas industry, marinas and more.
While we have no definitive idea about what exposure to PFAS can do to human health, previous studies on animals suggest the potential of negative consequences cannot be excluded. Some health experts are concerned that negative health impacts from PFAS may be slow and accumulative. As a result, many industries have phased out PFAS or governments have banned their use for certain purposes.
Sites around Australia, including Williamtown in NSW, Port River in SA and areas in the NT, were found to have high concentrations of PFAS, including in marine life. PFAS has been detected in groundwater in areas where they were used in large quantities such as industrial sites, firefighting training facilities and airports. Contamination can create a liability issue for organisations and governments in the area.
Removing PSFAs from the environment is a legal and environmental responsibility. OLEOLOGY's MyCelx technology can decontaminate and treat water and groundwater with zero by-products. We can help organisations and governments around Australia alleviate potential issues from PSFA chemicals.
Our solutions are scalable and can operate in a variety of environments. We custom build each treatment and filtration system for each situation to ensure harmful and toxic contaminants are effectively removed. For more information, call us today on 1300 305 723 or contact us online.

'Immigrant, homosexual, all-around badass': America, meet one of your military heroes.
Robbie Couch
Hey! Here's a thing many Americans don't — but should — know:
[rebelmouse-image 19534219 dam="1" original_size="839x991" caption="All illustrations by Levi Hastings and Josh Trujillo. Comic published in full on The Nib." expand=1]All illustrations by Levi Hastings and Josh Trujillo. Comic published in full on The Nib.
That's right! A gay dude played a pivotal role in America's independence.
Friedrich Wilhelm August Heinrich Ferdinand Steuben — known in the history books as Baron von Steuben — was one of America's most prominent and influential military officials during its war for independence. He was also gay.
"Every kid grows up looking for role models," says Levi Hastings, who created the comic images in this article alongside fellow artist Josh Trujillo. (The comic is published in full on The Nib.) "Queer people have changed the world since the beginning of time and there is no excuse to hide that fact."
Von Steuben, originally from Prussia, made a name for himself fighting in Europe's Seven Years' War. After the conflict, however, his queerness got him kicked out of Germany, where homosexuality had been criminalized. (I guess it didn't matter how much of a badass he was on the battlefield — a guy who likes guys was just a no-go.)
Benjamin Franklin wasn't hung up on von Steuben's taste for the fellas, though.
Franklin, an American, was in Paris searching out bright and promising military talent to help the embattled rebels defeat the British. (And by "embattled," I mean struggling hardcore — seriously, the Americans were in dire shape.)
Even though Franklin was aware of von Steuben's controversial past, he also knew von Steuben's military know-how could be vital in helping the Continental Army pull off an upset. So he wrote to George Washington, pushing the nation's future first president to consider von Steuben's accomplishments.
And voila! Washington liked what he learned, so Von Steuben cruised stateside to join the revolution.
Von Steuben quickly became a critical leader who helped the Americans turn a corner in the war.
He was a fierce fighter and drill master, sure. But von Steuben's genius was most visible in how he kept military camps up and running, and its men in tip-top shape. He streamlined basic protocols — like how to set up camp and ensure the area remains clean and disease-free — which played a crucial role in saving resources and keeping men alive.
He was a (literal) life-saver. And his leadership is why some historians have dubbed him "the father of the American military."
Also, he barely spoke any English! (Shoutout to those handy translators in America's earliest, most vulnerable years.)
Artwork full on The Nib.
Von Steuben's ideas on camp operations and personnel management eventually made it to print in the "Blue Book" — a set of standards adopted by the U.S. Army. Incredibly, many of its same ideas are still used today.
After the Revolutionary War, von Steuben lived out his final days on a nice property in Valley Forge given to him by a grateful Washington.
There, I imagine he napped his afternoons away and enjoyed the company of his ... um ... "sons."
Yes, von Steuben — who never married or had biological children — officially adopted Gen. (and future U.S. Sen.) William North, as well as Capt. Benjamin Walker, with whom he had an "extraordinarily intense emotional relationship." Laws — and certainly our understanding of LGBTQ relationships — were a bit different back then.
By now you may be thinking, "OK, so one of our military leaders was gay. Who cares?"
But von Steuben's identity as a queer man — which, in many ways, has been brushed over or erased entirely — really does matter.
"For every Von Stueben, there are a thousand other queer people we forget about," Hastings says. We often don't realize it, but LGBTQ people helped shape history throughout the ages in ways both big and small. "There's so much work to do, but I hope our comics help expand our understanding of history."
"Especially now, we have to celebrate the achievements of queer figures," Trujillo adds. "There are those that will purposefully overlook us, or try to forget that we exist at all. It's vital everyone recognizes that we're here, we have always been here, and we always will be here."
Captivated by von Steuben's story? Same. You can check out the whole comic that tells the story of his role in the Revolutionary War over at The Nib. You can also watch von Steuben's story — told in hilariously drunken fashion — on Comedy Central's "Drunk History" below:

Media Vision's CEO Makes In-person Delivery for First Assistive Listening System Order
Posted on Friday, September 27, 2019
Delivering the first order of a new product line to a customer is a milestone for any company. For Media Vision's CEO, Fardad Zabetian, there was no doubt it had to be a personal delivery. A few weeks after the commercial release of their new assistive listening system, the lucky first customer was known: Plymouth Congregational Church in Coconut Grove, Miami.
It was not for the coconuts or the glamorous location that Fardad jumped on a flight 2 days later, but for this unique opportunity to meet and thank their first client, Plymouth Church, as well as the AV dealer and installation partner – Mike Harris of Harris Audio Systems and Paul van Puffelen of Southern Technical Support – and representative – Jon Ferren of Bencsik Associates.
Plymouth Congregational Church is a historic and just simply beautiful church in the oldest neighborhood of Miami. It was built exactly 100 years ago by a single man, a Spaniard, and patterned after an old city mission church in Mexico. In 1974, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The location and client profile certainly topped all of Media Vision's expectations for a warm welcome as a vendor of assistive listening systems.
"The patrons were not satisfied with their existing assistive listening system; it had never worked" said Paul van Puffelen of Southern Technical Support "We did a quick test of the new Media Vision solution and it worked without any issue". The solution supplied is a 5-user system including the Media Vision Stationary Base Transmitter and Portable Receivers with earphones and neckloop compatible with telecoil-equipped hearing aids.
It is important to note that while houses of worship are not formally required to meet ADA requirements with respect to assistive listening, most recognize that they have acoustical challenges and that hearing loss is a widespread issue. The technology thus becomes essential for congregants to hear the service properly and receive the messages of inspiration.
"We were happy to pick a solution that simply works with full coverage and clear audio" says Mike Harris of Harris Audio Systems, with 40 years of experience in South Florida. "Who knew "to ship" meant CEO Fardad Zabetian delivering them in person?" adds Paul van Puffelen.
"This was one of my most exciting trips, delivering our very first Media Vision manufactured product", says Fardad Zabetian of Media Vision. "We supplied an elegantly-designed, high quality audio solution that integrates the most desirable functionalities at a very affordable price. We are very happy with the result and will strive to always exceed customer expectations" …
… The company discloses that not all products will be available for hand delivery.
Picture, from left to right – Fardad Zabetian, Paul van Puffelen, Jon Ferren, and Mike Harris, with Media Vision equipment by the 400-year-old solid walnut door at the entrance of Plymouth Church.


A Meaningful and Tired 2018. Year end photo gallery.
Abandoned building in Philippi, West Virginia, former ball room.
Meaningful and tired are the words for my thoughts, feeling and photos for 2018. Over the year I was able to take beautiful photos, spend time with people I enjoy, do work that I find meaningful and I am still surprised at that. Being tired was my overall experience this year.I have never worked so hard at something I love so much in my life. Often I would work my 8 hours and walk 6 to 7 miles a day, up and down 3 flights of stairs. Then spend one day a week processing the items that I had carried down those same stairs. Some how,I kept my clothes washed, got my son to school and I walked another mile or two with my dog every day. I pushed hard on the weekends too, with updates to my house and trips with friends and family. I think, I finally collapsed into bed on the 21st of Dec. and just slept… I took a nap that afternoon that lasted 3 1/2 hours and then went to bed that night at 9:30 and slept 8 1/2 more.
So for fun I put together some of my more favorite photos from the year. 50 has been very eye-opening for me creatively. I have found "myself" as an artist and photographer and have finally found a subject matter that excites me!!As you will see, I have fallen head over heals in love with antiques and windows. I never realized how much I love the glow of light through a window and how that light fascinates me. Someone once said that we are always taking the same photograph over and over subconsciously until we discover what we love. Then we can focus on that subject and make a world out of it. Well the world opened up for me in 2018.
So I hope you enjoy my photos from the last year and I hope to do better next year with reaching my goals.
My first few days at the new AmeriCorps location at the Barbour County Development Authority. It was at this court house that I realized my future was working with the history of this community and it's treasures.
The following week was an over view of the project that I am still working on today. The Golden Rule building was purchased in April of 2018 and I was brought on board to help clean up the mess and help preserve and liquidate all the assets in the building. Needless to say I am still working on cleaning up the mess but some of the photos I have taken inside the building are priceless.
In June my office was invited to a luncheon at the Adaland Mansion ( circa 1841) where we explored and toured the grounds of the historic home in Barbour County. The food was traditional to the late 1800 to 1900's and everyone dressed in time period costumes. It was a great break from the dirt and dust of the Golden Rule.
Broken Boy with Grape basket lamp by window.
Spoiled canned fish from the 70's?
As the Summer wore on I found items that were strange, beautiful and unusual in the Golden Rule. My work was labor intensive, being the main person moving 7,000 pounds of garbage into bags and boxes day after day wore me out. But, the pay off was seeing, photographing and sometimes saving pieces of the past that would other wise be lost if the building had belonged to someone other than Woodlands Development Group.
Finally in July we took a few days off to rest and spend time with the family. We fished, hiked and spent afternoons swimming in the river just enjoying a holiday weekend.
As summer came to a close it was announced that my home office would be moving and we were able to tour the new location for Woodlands Development Group in Elkins WV.
In Oct. we watched the West Virginia episode of "State Plate" with Taylor Hicks. I wondered how Tom and I ever survived cooking and eating on national TV. We both enjoyed seeing what they made out of day together.
Jolynn Powers and Taylor Hicks cooking in the kitchen.
Baked Apple Dumplings fresh out of the oven.
Then the Open House at the Golden Rule was an overwhelming success. We had over 100 visitors and gave tours to over 65 people in 4 hours. We raised over 300 dollars to help the preservation and rehabilitation of the building and I must have made 14 trips up and down those stairs again. I was really tired when it was over but it was worth all the work to put it together to see people enjoying my work!
Vacation time came and I celebrated my 50th birthday in the best way. I went back in time and relived the joy and happiness of my youth at Hershey Park, PA. Riding roller-coasters and eating Hershey's chocolate was so much fun and I got to see several old friends that I love dearly. Could not have planned something better if I tried.
Alex Smits, Christopher Powers and Tom Powers having fun at my birthday trip to Hershey Park, PA.
Halloween is my favorite time of the year and this year I explored two ideas for my haunted house costume. The first was the idea of making myself into some kind of moth-man or fly-man and the other was the evil crow. In the end the mask and wings of a bird won out and I spent a great night at Christopher's after-school program volunteering to scaring the heck out of young and old a like. I then went with the kids Trick or Treating as the scary crow and had a ball… the best few weeks of my year!
The Holidays were a blur, I remember that we had a nice couple of holiday dinners and I got to spend lots of time with my family and friends. I got to see Christopher sing at his choir concert and watched three movies at the theater in 9 days…. so much fun!
So it was a busy year and I learned tons about myself and what I want to do as an artist in the future. I think my photos are getting better and I realized that I do much better with natural light and I am not great at photographing people. I hope to work on that this year. So the goal is set to take at least 6 natural light portraits this year. We will see if I can reach that goal while painting another couple of murals.
Hope your holiday was a good one and I hope you have a productive 2019. Maybe it will slow down just a bit for me in 2019. I can only hope to do more traveling and spending more time with friends and family and continue to grow as an artist.
What a great year! I love the pictures. I enjoy seeing and experiencing history and it was fun following you with your various finds throughout the year. I think the best photo is the one with your son smiling. I hope 2019 is every bit as good, JoLynn (but maybe a little easier on your knees).
thanks Dan I am looking forward to getting the construction crew in the building in April and seeing what we get done over the summer… they are putting in an elevator so maybe fewer walks up and down stairs soon.

3 Players the Jets Can Extend Before 2022 Free Agency
Posted on January 12, 2022 by JetsFan in Jets News | 0 Comments
With the second half of the 2021-22 season underway, contract talks and extensions have likely become a key topic within NHL clubs. The Winnipeg Jets have 11 contracts expiring at the end of the season, and here's a breakdown of why these three players, specifically, deserve to receive an extension this summer.
Pierre-Luc Dubois
Pierre-Luc Dubois, otherwise known as "PLD," has become a fan favourite in Winnipeg. Acquired in the blockbuster deal that sent Patrik Laine – the Jets' second overall pick in 2016 – and Jack Roslovic to the Columbus Blue Jackets, Dubois has quickly become one of the team's stars. Last season, he recorded 20 points (eight goals, 12 assists) in 41 games. This season, he has taken on a larger role with 26 points (15 goals, 11 assists) in 33 games.
Dubois is a terrific two-way power forward who brings versatility and elite puck handling to the lineup. In his draft year, he was often compared to LA Kings superstar and captain, Anze Kopitar, who led the Kings to two Stanley Cup Championships.

Dubois has an average annual value (AAV) of $5,000,000 on his current deal, and he will surely be looking for a raise during negotiations. While he deserves the raise, Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff will have to balance a new deal with other contracts, like Mark Scheifele, Nikolaj Ehlers, and Kyle Connor's, which could make negotiations a bit tough. As the Jets' centre of the future – behind Scheifele – the Jets should offer Dubois between $7 million – $8.5 million AAV on a long-term deal.
One way for the Jets to make sure this happens is to buy out Blake Wheeler's contract. That should free up enough cap space for Dubois and other players who need to be signed long-term. The Jets currently have $8.4 million in available cap space.
Andrew Copp
The Ann Arbor, Michigan product has been a staple on the Jets' second and third lines for the last eight seasons. Andrew Copp is like a Swiss army knife. He can be used on any line, in almost any situation and will excel. In August 2021, Copp re-signed with the Jets on a one-year contract with an AAV of $3,640,000. With his contract set to expire again this offseason, negotiations are likely already underway.
Last season, Copp set career-highs in goals, assists, and points. In 55 games, he recorded 39 points (15 goals, 24 assists) and was a key contributor. He has seen his ice time increase this season and received time on the power play. This season, he has 22 points (eight goals 14 assists) in 33 games and is well on his way to smashing his career-highs.
If the Jets are unable to settle on a long-term deal, Copp will likely walk in free agency. However, that would be a big loss, as the team needs a player like him around. They should offer him a four-year deal with an AAV of $4 million. That should satisfy both parties enough to keep him in Winnipeg.
Evgeny Svechnikov
Evgeny Svechnikov might be a controversial choice here, but his potential has hardly been tapped into. He was drafted 19th overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 2015 NHL Draft but couldn't prove he was a first-round talent. He spent five seasons with the Red Wings and put up 12 points in 41 total games. While most of his time was spent in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Grand Rapids Griffins, where he excelled, he and Detroit parted ways at the end of last season.

The Jets took a chance on Svechnikov, who signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $750,000 AAV with the club on Oct. 13. With several forwards likely on their way out, taking another chance on Svechnikov could pay off for the Jets in the long run. In 2016-17, he registered 51 points (20 goals, 31 assists) in 74 games with the Griffins. Unfortunately, that skill has yet to translate to the NHL level, but the Jets are working on his development.
"Let's keep this rolling baby!"
Wise words from Mr. Svechnikov, who gets the helmet after his game-opening goal tonight!
#GoJetsGo | #WPGvsARI https://t.co/8PwNYywH3u
This season, he has nine points (three goals, six assists) in 30 games with the Jets. That might not be too impressive, but it's a solid start. With the Red Wings, he had eight points in 21 games last season, and all signs seem to be pointing in the right direction.
If the Jets can lock him up on a short-term deal worth less than $2.5 million, it would be a steal. Svechnikov has the ability to play a key role for the team, and if his stats continue to trend upwards, he will get more ice time to help with his development. However, he may decide he's worth more than what the Jets offer; he was a surprise addition last off-season but has started to blossom into a legit NHL player and could drive a hard bargain.
Options are There
Jets management might make a big offseason splash that clears the path for the team's future. Whether that's a trade that involves a high-salary player or buying out Wheeler, they have enough options to ensure they bring back their best players for 2022-23. Do you agree or do you think Cheveldayoff should shake up the core? Let me know in the comments.

The Tennis Elbow Brace, Does It Really Help?
Even though a tennis elbow brace is one of the simplest ways applied to treat tennis elbow, it actually provides comfort and relief for those who suffer from this condition. It is not only worn for relief and protection, but at the same time it provides a soothing effect to the injured part of the elbow and it also promotes healing since wearing an elbow brace can help in making the tired and inflamed muscles rest.
Wearing an elbow brace is technically called the lateral counter-force bracing. Many therapists believe that this can actually reduce the magnitude of muscle contraction. This means that it reduces the amount of load that is placed on the tendons thus reducing trauma on the muscle attachment in the elbows. Somehow, they provide relief to the muscles; when the muscles do not feel any stress, they can get the enough rest that they need. The brace limits the movement of your injured arms allowing it to rest well.
Another advantage that elbow brace can give when you have tennis elbow is that is provides warmth to your arms or the affected area, thus allowing proper blood circulation. When there is a good amount of blood circulation through your arms, enough oxygen and nutrients will be distributed to the tendons allowing it to heal quickly.
Also an advantage of tennis elbow brace is the support and protection that it offers your arms. With elbow brace structured to protect the affected area of tennis elbow, this is a sure way to avoid and prevent further injury. Thus, it will enable your arms to heal faster.
Using an elbow brace, you may be able to progress with the healing process. When this happens, you will be able to return doing your normal activities quickly. It is recommended that you use an elbow brace that is designed properly and will suite your arms comfortably – it should not be too tight or too lose. With tennis elbow braces your arms will be able to recuperate in no time.
Thanks for the info, Cecil!
The preventive benefit that tennis elbow brace offers is recommended for sports players and manual workers who do repetitive motions using their arms. It prevents from using your arms to move in the wrong form because it corrects the proper posture and restricts movement allowing your arm to rest in its best position. Be sure to choose brands that gained reputation in tennis elbow braces and is flexible enough to fit in your arms.

Q: How to maintain controls through ViewState On my initial pageload I'm trying to add a bunch of textboxes.  What I want to do is if a user types something into those text boxes I want to maintain that text.  I'm using a placeholder and placing dynamic controls inside of my placeholder.  Whenever the page_loads the ViewState is null.   I'm sure i'm doing something wrong. Any help is appreciated.

A: There are two problems with your approach:

*

*Assigning a control to the variable myPlacerHolder doesn't put that control in the page. The control remains in the page, and the variable has a reference to a control that is not in the page.

*You can't reuse controls created for one page in another page.
Just recreate the TextBox controls each time the page loads, and they will pick up the entered text from the form data that is posted back to the server.

Payable Through Check - Local or Not?
I was reading a response to a question regarding a hold on an insurance draft or credit card check. I want to make certain that it is OK to put an exception hold on this type of check, if over $5000, release $100 next day, $4900 in 2 or 5 days and the balance over $5000 in 7 or 11 days. What started my search was I was trying to determine if I had a "credit union" cashiers check (local), payable through a (non local) bank, which routing number do I use to determine the hold?
Our tellers will be new to seeing substitute checks, and now customers will be trying to deposit substitute checks that have been returned to them in the form of a chargeback. One suggestion was to send all 'returned' substitute checks for collections from the other banks, but that seems excessive. How will our tellers recognize a returned substitute check, and what recommendations do you have for handling any that are redeposited?
Reg CC Is a normal hold determined by the paying bank's routing number or by the paying bank's address printed on the face of the check? For example, the depository bank located in the San Antonio Fed District accepts a check from the paying bank with a Dallas Fed District routing, the hold is placed for 5 days. Is that correct or would the hold be placed for only 2 days if the bank address is San Antonio?
What are the Reg E disclosure requirements regarding a merchant's use of electronic collection for checks presented for payment?
Oops. Thanks to John Burnett's (a BOL Guru) keen eye and knowledge, we have identified an error.


The final week at the CU Fab Lab we learned how to use arduinos. We also learned how to read, write, and edit basic computer programs. Arduinos are ideal for prototyping devices. They utilize affordable open source hardware and software. They also sell kits which include all the parts you need to achieve your goal. Arduino was first introduced in 2005 and it has blown up into a multimillion dollar company.
In the lab we experimented with tuning a LED light, directing a motor, and making conductive fabric touch sensitive. The most interesting experiment was exploring the conductive fabric capabilities. This essentially created a resistance biosensor. When the resistance greatly increased once the fabric was touched which could be registered by a computer as "being touched." It was fun to combine my knowledge from biosensors into an actual sensor. Arduinos are ideal for future device development.

Q: How to read a file to a list of lists? I want to create a list of lists from a file that contains the following data:
101 Rahul
102 Julie
103 Helena
104 Kally

CODE
lis = []

with open("student_details.txt" , "r+") as f:
    for i in range(1,3,1):
        for data in f.read().split():
            lis.append(data)
print(lis)

Output I Want
[[101,Rahul] ,[102,Julie] ,[103,Helena] ,[104,Kally]]

Output I m getting
['101', 'Rahul', '102', 'Julie', '103', 'Helena', '104', 'Kally']

A: You could read line by line iterating on the handle or using readlines(), splitting each line, appending each result, etc... Fixing your code would require to remove the range loop which just reads the file 3 times (but only effectively reads once the first time), and append the splitted items of the lines, using a list comprehension to be more pythonic:
with open("student_details.txt" , "r+") as f:
     lis = [line.split() for line in f]

note that the cool thing about line.split() (without parameters) is that it gets rid of the line terminator(s) automatically.
but you can make it simpler: csv module does all the parsing for you:
import csv
with open("student_details.txt" , "r") as f:
   cr = csv.reader(f,delimiter=" ")
   # iterate on rows and generate list of lists:
   result = list(cr)

A: Easiest way is to do it by list comprehension as the following:
with open("student_details.txt" , "r+") as f:
    lis = [line.split() for line in f]

or if you want to loop you can loop through the file without reading it:
with open("student_details.txt" , "r+") as f:
    lis = []
    for line in f:
        lis.append(line.split())

A: You can split by lines:
lis = []

with open("student_details.txt" , "r+") as f:
    for line in f:
       data = line.split()
       lis.append(data)
print(lis)

Result :
[['101', 'Rahul'], ['102', 'Julie'], ['103', 'Helena'], ['104', 'Kally']]

Or in a more compact way :
with open("student_details.txt" , "r+") as f:
    lis = [line.split() for line in f]
print(lis)

Result :
[['101', 'Rahul'], ['102', 'Julie'], ['103', 'Helena'], ['104', 'Kally']]

A: Your code:
lis = []

with open("student_details.txt" , "r+") as f:
    for i in range(1,3,1):
        for data in f.read().split():
            lis.append(data)
print(lis)

Note the two for loops, what you are doing is looping through each line, then through each item on that line.  You are then pushing each item individually into your list lis.
To get the output you want, you want to be pushing a list of the two items on each line into your list.
You are actually already generating this list of items with f.read().split(), so you just need to append this.
This leaves you with the following:
lis = []

with open("student_details.txt" , "r+") as f:
    for i in range(1,3,1):
        #no second loop here
        data = f.read().split()
        lis.append(data)
print(lis)

This still doesn't give us the correct answer, the loop is the problem here,
we can fix this by just reading each line ideomatically, without specifying any ranges:
lis = []

with open("student_details.txt" , "r+") as f:
    for line in f:
        #no second loop here
        data = line.split()
        lis.append(data)
print(lis)

A: You could try this alternative too. I'm using splitlines() method.
data = []
f = open('student_details.txt', 'r')
for line in f.read().splitlines():
    data.append([line])
print(data)

Spacey new 'intergalactic playground' museum touches down in Texas
By Steven Devadanam

An innovative new "intergalactic playground" — with a focus on science and space — is touching down in Texas. Seismique, a technology-fueled experiential art museum, will debut on the west side of Houston (aka "Space City") this fall.
The tech mecca will feature more than 40 unique "galaxies" (rooms) totaling 40,000 square feet inhabited by extra-terrestrial beings — brought to life by artificial intelligence, immersive experiences, gamification, and "dazzling displays of light, color, and sound," according to a release.
The concept is the brainchild of Steve Kopelman, principal of Escape the Room — the largest escape room company in the United States. "Having worked here for the last six years on Escape the Room, I know firsthand that Houstonians are incredibly curious and culturally engaged," Kopelman says.
"Many people don't realize that Houston is also home to one of the largest working artist communities in the country and overflowing with an astonishing pool of talent, accordingly. From the outset we knew Houston would be the first city for Seismique to launch and certainly hope that our technology-fueled experiential museum will be a welcomed addition to an already-thriving cultural landscape."
In effort to support the artistic community, Seismique has reserved a quarter of its 40 rooms for local artists to create their own unique vessels of intergalactic expression through various art forms.
Seismique will also offer educational workshops for students looking for technology-driven learning opportunities in disciplines related to S.T.E.A.M. (Science/ Technology/ Engineering/ Arts/ Mathematics) and will offer multiple private event spaces for meetings, events, and live performances of all kinds.
"Seismique will transport locals and visitors alike to an entirely new and unforeseen universe of creative inspiration and artistic manifestation," Kopelman adds. "The galaxies are designed to stimulate imagination, heighten curiosity, inspire wonder, and — most importantly — deliver an extreme dose of fun."
And perhaps most fun for science fans: The museum promises "lots and lots of aliens."

Q: How can I rerun validation on a saved model in Keras I have a Keras neural network and am using the checkpoint callback to save the model whenever it beats its prior validation score.
I can load the model back in easily enough using
model = keras.models.load_model("savedcheckpointfilename.h5")

I then want to extract the loss and val_loss values from the last epoch before the model was saved.
How can I do this?
I have tried running another epoch of training, but this will, I presume, change the weights. I don't know exactly what validation set was used, as Keras automates this during training, hence don't see how I can run explicit predictions vs the validation data (as which part of the training set was reserved for validation is not exposed AFAICS).

A: Keras seems to take the last part of the data as the validation split.
So if you manually split your training data with the exact same value that you defined in model.fit(... validation_split= <your ratio here>) you can get your validation data anytime later and do a simple model.evaluate() with that.
I just verified with the Pima Indians Example and it works:

Training: Epoch 1/1
  250/250 - 0s - loss: val_loss: 0.6712 - val_acc: 0.6560
Model evaluate done with manual split - ETA: 0s _ loss: 0.6712% _ acc: 0.6560%

The split point needs to be rounded up if not on an integer boundary.
def checkValScore(modelFile, X_train, Y_train, split=0.1) :

    model = keras.models.load_model(modelFile)
    split =  -int(math.ceil(X_train.shape[0]* split))
    X_cv = np.array(X_train)[split:]
    Y_cv = np.array(Y_train)[split:]
    return model.evaluate(X_cv, Y_cv)

Anthony Yarde makes Sergey Kovalev drug testing claim ahead of world title fight
Anthony Yarde travels to Russia to face formidable light-heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev on August 24
Anthony Yarde is preparing for his world title showdown (Image: Action Images)
Anthony Yarde has revealed he had to force Sergey Kovalev to agree to drug testing for their world title fight.
Yarde, who has fought just 30 times as an amateur and professional, will trek to deepest darkest Russia to challenge the formidable light-heavyweight champion on August 24.
The sport is still reeling from British heavyweight Dillian Whyte's abnormal drug test last month - and Yarde refused to take any chances.
The 27-year-old said: "Kovalev didn't sign up to be tested the first time which we weren't willing to accept.
Yarde has fought just 30 times as an amateur and professional (Image: Action Images)
"The fight was meant to happen in June and I signed all my forms but he didn't, there was a lot of palaver.
"I hope he's being tested, but I don't work for [testing agency] VADA and I can't go out there with a magnifying glass to see if he's being tested."
Yarde, who has knocked out 17 of his 18 opponents in the paid ranks, is being tested by both VADA and UKAD.
And such is the scrutiny he is under, he even had to provide a sample on the Las Vegas Strip.
Yarde is put through his paces at The Peacock Gym (Image: Action Images)
"There's been a lot of drug testing, they must think I'm on something!" he added.
"I was on the Strip with my friend, we were going to Hooters for chicken wings when I got multiple phone calls saying the testers were at my hotel.
"My friend went to Hooters and I had to walk all the way along the Strip to the Cosmopolitan.
The sport is still reeling from Dillian Whyte's abnormal drug test (Image: PA)
"Then the guy was talking to me about his personal life; now I'm not a rude person but I had to say, 'Can we hurry up, I'm in Vegas to enjoy myself!'
"So I got tested then and again eight days later when I came back - drug testing is paramount in boxing and the stricter it is the better.
"Some people are willing to inject themselves and in a sport like boxing they should be banned for life."
Anthony Yarde takes on Sergey Kovalev for the WBO world light heavyweight title, live on BT Sport 2 on Saturday August 24. Watch live on TV or via the BT Sport app.

Cut away the pith from the grapefruit, then cut into segments over a bowl to catch any juice. Squeeze the membrane you are left with in with the rest of the juice, then discard the shells. Place all the juice in a saucepan and boil for about 10 mins until reduced to a few syrupy tablespoons, then mix with the olive oil and set aside.
Segment the lemon and mix with the grapefruit segments. Drape the smoked salmon over 4 plates and scatter with the segments. Spoon the dressing over and finally dress with the coriander sprigs. Delicious with brown bread and butter.
In a bowl, mix together grapefruit segments with finely sliced raw fennel and a drizzle of olive oil, then serve alongside grilled mackerel or trout for a speedy, healthy supper.
Quite nice. Add healthy sweetener to the jus and a little salt and black pepper. Tasty with brown bread with little butter.
This sounded a bit strange but it was very quick and easy to prepare and supprisingly delicious!

Selectmen approve Community Theater license, lease agreement
June 6, 2019 Updated: June 6, 2019 1:29 p.m.
Fairfield Community Theater on the corner of Post and Unquowa Roads Fairfield, Conn. on October 9, 2012.
Cathy Zuraw / Cathy Zuraw
fauFAIRFIELD — The Community Theater on Post Road, now the Sacred Heart University Community Theater, is expecting an opening next summer.
But that's not before it goes through several town bodies for lease and land-use approval.
According to a license and access agreement, three activities would be permitted on the property: creation of a garden area, paving stones inscribed with the names of donors on the sidewalk and the installation of outdoor lighting fixtures.
"All the work that's done has to be done with applicable zoning and building department permits," Town Attorney Stanton Lesser said at the Wednesday meeting.
The initial lease term would be for 20 years, followed by three successive 10-year options.
The 50-year agreement, Ken Kleban, president of the eponymous company, said, was to provide a benefactor garden to "pay tribute to those who had helped in the process."
A member of the public asked if the patio, currently leased by the Old Post Tavern, would be modified or enlarged.
"There is no plan to increase the footprint of the patio at the Old Post Tavern," Kleban said, adding that any changes would require Town Plan and Zoning Commission approval.
Patrick Tennaro, owner of the Old Post Tavern, said he had reached an agreement with Kleban regarding the patio space. "I'm very happy to work with the Klebans in making the corner more beautiful."
The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved the lease agreement.
The Community Theater, closed for the past eight years, is currently being acquired by Kleban Properties for an estimated sum of $3.85 million.
According to Kleban, the theater is in need of what would amount to at least $3 million in renovations to bring the buidling to code and with replacement of key internal structures. The company president is hoping to raise $1 million through community funding while the rest is provided through loan capital and investor equity.
Sacred Heart University, last week, announced they would be signing a 10-year lease with the company to turn it into a venue for lectures, author talks, unique films and other performances open to the entire community.
Last month, Kleban proposed full and partial tax abatements from the town for the next decade.
A full tax abatement would come by assessing the theater's building value at $0 for the next four years followed by a partial tax abatement for the next six years.
According to the town's tax assessor, the 10-year shortfall in tax revenue would amount to $339,922. After the tax abatements are concluded, the town could expect almost $165,000 in tax revenue per year.
The Board of Selectmen unanimously approved the request, which also requires Representative Town Meeting approval.
Kleban has also requested 20 parking spaces within the Sherman Green parking lot and support from the town's Office of Economic Development for signage and regulatory approvals.
Property records show that Norman Pollack bought the 1410 Post road locale in 1976 and then transferred to David Pollack in 2002. A 2017 valuation puts the property's appraised value at $2.6 million.
The Community Theater was first inaugurated in 1920 and the full-scale renovation will provide the theater with as many as 400 seats next year.
The lease agreement now heads to the RTM for review and consideration at their June 24 meeting.

Happy 75th Birthday to Jimmy Buffett
December 25, 2021 December 25, 2021 Uncategorized
Jimmy Buffett turns 75 years old today!!
From an interview with Billboard Magazine:
You turn 75 on Christmas Day. So what does a pirate looks at 75 look like?
I'd like finish this rock and roll book I'm working on. It's based on when we went to Montserrat and did the [1979] Volcano album. I'm making it fictitious, but it's based on that whole episode, which you can't believe the s–t that happened. I still can't. There are so many stories and I file them away. It's a funny book, but it's a real rock 'n roll book. It's not a miserable experience, let's just say.
I kept writing some songs, and so instead of some 75th anniversary thing — I don't want to do that — I'd rather put another album out. I've got five songs now. I like what I'm doing. It's a little more kind of down island — authentic Creole and Trinidadian and Calypso kind of influences are in it.

Short reviews of under the oily dome thriller Annihilation, the lad-decorated trees of The Ritual, Spaniards bickering in The Bar, Jackie Chan vs the IRA in The Foreigner, and a story about a clown who lives with turds, It.
Hey Nuno. Yes! Guide will be posted by the end of the week. It's a very promising (rest of) year.
I liked It on release and initially thought it was better than the old one. I was not a huge fan of the TV mini series or the novel. Then I watched them back to back at home. Personally. I found the Mummy and Wolf man scenes as well as the JD being folded and pulled down drain pipe much cooler than anything in the new one. Also the CG is mostly really sub par, especially the women in the picture and balloons. They both have their faults an pluses, but I now like the old one more. I actually think Jon Watts's Clown from 2014 is the better/best child-eating-clownmonster movie!
The Ritual, was good but I didn't like the lead, so part of the story arch didn't work for me.
Annihilation, I really really liked even if it does basically resolve itself through the means of interpretive dance!
I've not seen the other films.

Q: Does Breeze elminate the need for DTOs in single-page-applications? I'm building my first SPA and I've gone as far as building DTOs for each of my entities, but I just found breeze and it seems like it takes care of serializing your changes into bare-minimum packages to optimize updates/additions/etc.
The reason I built DTOs is to "flatten" my data and limit how much data I'm putting on the wire, but I'm wondering if I even need this overhead if Breeze takes care of it.

A: There are reasons for DTOs. "Flattening the data" is not one of them. Neither is "limiting how much data I'm putting on the wire".
Breeze does a nice job with object graphs. Imagine sending 100 orders for a customer. You wouldn't want to repeat the customer name on each order DTO. With Breeze you query for the Customer orders (use an "expand") and you get one copy of the Customer and the orders to go with it.

var query = new breeze.EntityQuery.from('Customers')
           .where('Id', 'eq', 42)
           .expand('orders');

On the other hand, if you only want a list of customer names, use a "projection":

var query = new breeze.EntityQuery.from('Customers') // all customers
           .select('id, companyName'); // project into an anonymous 2-property object

Use the occasional server-side DTO to build something that you can't easily create from the client (e.g., Customer-and-total-current-year-order-dollars).
The point is that you can mix DTOs, projections, and entity queries to suit your needs. You do not have to go all one way or the other (in my opinion).

A: We are currently evaluating a change from Knockout to Angular and Breeze, to get rid of much of the DTO and DTO-Mapping Code that we wrote (server and client side code). What we have done was to not expose the DAOs but to create DTOs for all entities. What happend in the end is, that we had in many cases (not all) classes that looked 90% similar to the database objects. This led us to the conlusion that DTOs in our case dont make sense and the overhead we took was wasted effort and we need to get rid of this with a better approach. So a refactoring round has to start :-)
Since here we have the two experts (@John and @Ward) in one place, I would also take the chance to answer the question and furthermore raise one concerning the implementation, which I haven't fully answered for myself so far and maybe John and Ward can clarify this, since I think this is am important side aspect of the question if DTOs are still needed.
Looking at breeze it seems to be of great help to avoid a lot of DTO and DTO-Mapping code and I completly agree that usage of DTOs for getting less over the wire together with breeze makes no sense, because that is something that is handled perfectly by breeze as explained above with the query on client side. This is something I can completely confirm and makes sense. Also creating many different DTO classes as we did is not the best approach. Breeze does this much better with much less code.
To use DTO and DTO mapping code for separation of concerns I still believe is a good idea and principle, but it comes with also a lot of overhead that is probably in many cases not needed. So to take advantage of breeze, you can of course create DTOs and write/generate metadata on client side, but that is not basic idea of breeze. You can use it this way, but the more you stay on DAOs, the less code you will have to write and the faster your project. But nevertheless breeze allows you this so the framwork will also work with DTOs, its just not the basic idea why breeze was written. A mix of both (exposure of DAOs and DTOs) is probably the best approach.
But when then use DTOs ?

*

*Security

*Complex Logic (calculation) or when you aren't able to use simple CRUD methods because
of too much complexity that you dont won't or cannot (security) expose on client side.

In case of security I am actually not 100% sure and this is why I am writing here and would like to ask the two experts. We are using EF on server side and what would be probably the best idea is to use projections on server side for security. But how to do that ?
I raise this question because I think its the most important to answer for being able of answering the question if DTOs are still needed.
We ended with the following code for EF (in our evaluation demo):
private IQueryable<News> RestrictFields(IQueryable<News> query)
    {
        return query
            .ToList() // This seemd to be needed, otherwhise I cannot use new News()
            .Select(t => new News()
                {
                    Id = t.Id,
                    Text = t.Text,
                    Title = t.Title,
                    Date = t.Date
                })
            .AsQueryable();
    }

So as you can see above, we have an EF query. So the first we tried was just to to a projection with new News(). That did not work, since EF does not allow you to use the same DAO class in a projection, just DTO objects or anonymous ones. So we used the workaround of ToList() and then AsQueryable(). But this does not seem right and furthermore probably then the query parameters from the client dont get shipped to the database and probably some wont work because of this, like "expand".
So what is the best way to do a projection on server side for security reason, so to finally get really rid of the need for DTOs ? @John: I saw a post of you where you say, you used projections on Speakers in your demo project for your training class (Angular and Breeze), but I cound not find where this is implemented.
Here I am really stuck and this is for me the missing link to know if DTOs are still needed or not, and how it then can work perfectly together with Breeze.
I hope my answer helps answering a little bit your question and furthermore I hope it provides also you Jake with some very important link in the usage of breeze and if DTOs are still necessary.
Kind regards,
Chris

U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., praised former Georgia U.S. Representative Leon A. "Lynn" Westmoreland during his introduction at a Senate hearing to consider Westmoreland's nomination by President Trump to serve as a member of the Amtrak board of directors.
In his remarks Tuesday at the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation hearing, Isakson cited Westmoreland's vast experience in politics and transportation policy in both Congress and in the Georgia legislature.
"Lynn [Westmoreland] rose to be the Republican leader of the Georgia House of Representatives and did a phenomenal job. In business, he was a homebuilder of great renown; a local builder who understood local problems, understood growth and understood transportation," said Isakson.
"In all the years that I served in the state… I have known of no one who has made a greater contribution to his state and served better as a public servant than Lynn Westmoreland," he continued.
Westmoreland, of Grantville, Ga., began his public service career in 1993 as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives and served as the House Republican Leader from 2001 to 2003. He served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2005 until January 2017.
Westmoreland was nominated by President Trump on Oct. 5, 2017, to serve on the 10-member Amtrak board and would serve a five-year term if confirmed by the Senate.
"Chairman Blunt, Ranking Member Booker, and members of the committee, it's a pleasure for me to be here today to introduce a great Georgian.
"…It is my pleasure to introduce Lynn Westmoreland, not just to the Commerce Committee, but to the country for his approval to the Amtrak board.
"Lynn Westmoreland is a guy that I've known for a long, long time. We toiled in the vineyards of state representatives a long, long time in Georgia. Lynn rose to be the Republican leader of the Georgia House of Representatives and did a phenomenal job. In business, he was a homebuilder of great renown; a local builder who understood local problems, understood growth and understood transportation.
"There's nobody better to have on a transportation board and in authority than a user and consumer of the infrastructure of transportation. Atlanta is probably the poster child for the need for more improvements in transportation, for intermodal transportation, for the use of rail, for the use of roads, for the use of airplanes, for the use of everything to get people where they're going and to organize it and to plan it. Nobody is more conservative and fiscally responsible than Lynn Westmoreland.
"In all the years that I served in the state, and this is my 39th year in elected office in Georgia, I've known lots and lots of people who have come and gone. I have known of no one who has made a greater contribution to his state and served better as a public servant than Lynn Westmoreland.

The first of the top most out of three renewable energy sources is solar energy, and might be the perfect identified methodology to generate electricity from natural resources i.e sun - an abundant source of energy . The solar is our strongest, pure energy supply from sun everyday 365 days in a year. Solar energy which is sunlight, may be used for generation of electricity light, heat, cooling houses, electricity, heating water, and way more industrial processes. Most renewable energy types are derived both indirectly or straight from the solar. For example, the heat from solar makes the wind blow. This in flip contributes to development of plants and bushes used for biomass energy. This performs an necessary position within the evaporation and precipitation cycle that empowers hydro-power.
If you are in need of exploring the benefits of solar energy, solar powered products or rooftop solar power plant installation service with or without subsidies for domestic, institutions and social sectors including commercial ventures, you may like to visit DayRise Solar Enerdy Showroom at Sonipat or contact them through Company's website Contact page to avail services.

Xylophanes mineti is a moth of the  family Sphingidae. It is known from Ecuador and Bolivia.

The wingspan is 84–87 mm. It is similar to Xylophanes crotonis, but of similar in size to Xylophanes sarae. The forewing is more slender and slightly more falcate than Xylophanes crotonis. The forewing upperside ground colour is greenish-brown (fading to reddish-brown). The first postmedian line is sometimes slightly duplicated, giving the impression of a supernumerary line.

OnTheClock Review: Time Tracking, Payroll And Billing Made Easy
Times are changing.
As we enter the fourth industrial revolution, it's natural for us, as a species, to begin challenging the norms of everyday life.
For many small business owners, a big part of that process is reevaluating the notion that employees should be in direct line of sight. Physically present, day in, day out.
And with studies showing that remote workers are actually more productive than traditional office-dwellers, it's no surprise that time tracking software is making such a splash in 2018.
In this article, I'll be continuing my review series of popular time tracking software. Today, the spotlight shines to OnTheClock.
What Is OnTheClock?
OnTheClock is a web-based time tracking tool founded in 2003 by Dean Mathews.
Unlike other, more generalist time tracking tools *cough* Toggl, OnTheClock was designed to offer a "punch in, punch out" system, so employers (or managers) could generate time cards and perform payroll.
The software was primarily built with small business owners in mind, though a small portion of their customer base are also freelancers.
Adding & Managing Employees
Adding employees is where the fun begins. After signing up to OnTheClock, you'll be prompted to add all your employees to the system.
You can add these individually, or in bulk. Any more than 25 employees, however, and you'll need to have them imported for you.
Here's what the bulk interface looks like:
Personally, I think having to input this information for every single employee could be a little overwhelming for busy business owners.
Ideally, you'd only have to input email addresses, at which point an invite can be sent out that requires the employee to enter their own information.
Once you've got everyone added, you can click 'Save' to send the invites via text message or email.
From the Employees dashboard, you can click into anyone to view or add information to their profile.
There are some really useful options here such as adding things like hours per day, overtime rules, and even group punching (clocking).
And that's not even the half of it.
This page provides even more options to sift through if you're looking to go the extra mile.
Let me give you a quick overview of what you can do here:
PTO Rules: Configure rules for the amount of paid time off an employee is entitled to.
Security: Configure security preferences such as IP authorization and fingerprint access.
Alerts & Messaging: Enable and configure SMS messaging, as well employee messaging.
Pay Rates: Configure different types of pay rates such as overtime, vacation and sick leave.
Automation: Configure automatic punch in/out time slot, as well as things like "auto breaks".
I don't know about you, but I find the level of control here pretty damn impressive. It feels as though every possible outcome is accounted for.
I should point out that you're not required to go through these settings for every employee, but it's certainly nice to have the option for those who want to get super granular.
There's one last thing I wanted to mention before I wrap up this section, and that's employee recognition.
What you see above is the public dashboard, allowing the entire team to view achievements awarded by their employer.
(This includes badges, such as employee of the month, or kudos, which is more of a custom achievement.)
Some might find this cheesy, but I actually like the concept. What I don't like, however, is just how the poorly the graphics and public pages are designed, which makes it feel like more of a joke than a genuine achievement.
The Time Clock
The core feature of this and any other time tracking tool is, of course, the ability to track time — so let's talk about that.
First thing you should know is that this is a cloud-based system, meaning your employees aren't required to install anything to get this running besides a web browser.
(There was also mention of a downloadable app, but the welcome email didn't link to it for some reason?)
Anyway, all your employee's need to do in order to punch in, is log in, and hit the big green "Punch In' button.
(Note: I got logged out immediately after punching in, and had to login again in order to punch out. Not very user-friendly.)
Aside from that, it's pretty a simple system, but that's how it should be on the employee side.
On the employer side, however, there's certainly a whole lot more going on under the hood.
You can get to the time clock settings by first logging into the website, at which point you'll be greeted by this dashboard:
At this stage, I really need to mention the interface.
It looks like something that was put together in the late 90's, and considering OnTheClock was founded in 2003, that's probably not far from reality.
Not taking anything away from the functionality of the software (which I'll talk more about in a sec), in a visual sense, it's not very welcoming and I feel that could easily be remedied with a more modern design.
*end rant*
Anywho, aside from setting up the basics, such time zone and pay periods, OnTheClock brings another interesting feature to the table.
The time clock "widget".
The widget can be placed on your website (using the embed code) to display an interactive "Punch In" box.
Here's a representation of what it looks like in action:
Seriously, how can you not like that?
My only complaint is the technical aspect of setting this up, especially with the absence of something like a simple WordPress plugin to make it easier for the average Joe to implement.
To sum it up, the time clock feature is feature-rich in all the right places, while maintaining a simple but effective solution for employees to track their time.
What's the use in tracking time if you can't make heads or tails of the numbers?
This is why reporting is such a crucial aspect of any time tracking software, and OnTheClock certainly has a few tricks up its sleeve.
The first is called "Who's In?", and this is more of a "real-time" reporting feature that allows you to see who's clocked in right now.
You'll also notice the option to manually punch someone in and out, though I'm struggling to come up with a good use-case for that one.
There's no time like the present, but what about looking into the week (or month) ahead?
Well, for that, you may want to check out the handy 'Schedule' feature.
For most people, however, the most crucial reporting aspect of this tool is looking into the past to see how much time has actually been tracked.
And to do that, you'll want to head over to the 'Time Cards' menu item.
Here, you can get a weekly breakdown of every employee, how long they've worked, what they earned, and a grand total of these values for everyone combined.
(You'll be pleased to know OnTheClock also integrates with Quickbooks and a number of other payroll solutions)
Again, while this is clearly a useful and well thought out feature, the interface could really do with some love.
To give you just one example, choosing a time period gives you a HUGE drop down menu:
Not only does this menu go off my screen, but it removes any date flexibility by tying you into set weekly periods. It's a UX nightmare.
A simple date picker would be a much better solution.
Not a deal breaker by any means, but these little inconveniences start to stack up quickly and it makes an otherwise very comprehensive tool feel somewhat outdated (excuse the pun).
Before we wrap up this review, let's quickly cover pricing.
OnTheClock charges on a per employee basis, so the more employees you plan on plugging into this system, the more you pay.
If you're a freelancer and/or run a very small team, you'll be glad to know OnTheClock is free for up to 2 employees.
Pretty reasonable, wouldn't you say? I would.
The thing is though, if you go even 1 employee over that limit, you no longer get those freebies... which I find a bit odd.
For example, by signing up with 3 employees, you're effectively paying 3 times more for a single additional user.
You may have also noticed the "from $2.20 per employee" line at the top of the page when the pricing appears to be starting at $2.50 per.
Aside from consistency issues on the pricing page, there's no doubting that OnTheClock is fairly priced and well worth the investment.
OnTheClock is undoubtably one of the most complete time tracking tools on the market, and it's not hard to see why it's now used by more than 7,000 companies today.
Not only do you have seemingly endless options to customize and tailor the time tracking environment to your business, but it's also excellent for evaluating time sheets and sending to payroll.
For me, personally, the software is only held back by it's old-school interface and some questionable UX decisions, which ultimately makes it difficult to really fall in love with.

Om filmen
Filmen var en av sex svensk/tyska samproduktioner från 1993/1994 om Martin Beck med samma skådespelarteam. Övriga filmer i serien är Roseanna, Brandbilen som försvann, Polis polis potatismos, Mannen på balkongen och Stockholm Marathon.

Detta var andra gången Johan Widerberg medverkade i en Beck-film; han filmdebuterade som baby i Mannen på taket, som regisserades av hans far Bo Widerberg. Dessutom gör Mikael Persbrandt sin Beck-debut i denna film, dock i en annan roll än den som Gunvald Larsson.

På DVD
Efter att filmen tidigare funnits utgiven på DVD i orenoverad version så tog SF under 2005 beslutet att ge ut renoverade versioner av samtliga sex Beck-filmer med Gösta Ekman som Martin Beck i en samlingsbox. Filmerna i boxen gavs senare även ut separat.
