Businesses are starting to introduce new options for tipping at self-checkout machines, putting even more pressure on customers amid rising inflation costs. Despite having zero interaction with employees during transactions, self-checkout machines at places such as coffee shops, bakeries, airports, and sports stadiums are giving customers the option to leave the typical 20% tip, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal.
Business owners believe that the prompt for a tip can boost staff pay and increase gratuities — but customers are questioning where and to whom the extra cash is going, considering self-checkout is done by the customers themselves. “They’re cutting labor costs by doing self-checkout. So what’s the point of asking for a tip? And where is it going?” are some of the questions customers ask. But tipping researchers claim this is a way for companies to put the responsibility of paying employees on the customer rather than increasing employee salaries themselves. Self-tipping is viewed by many customers as a way to guilt-trip the person into tipping on something when they typically wouldn’t.
Many companies told the Journal that these tipping prompts are optional, and the extra gratuity is split between all employees. However, experts say that tips at a self-checkout machine might never even get to an actual employee since protections for tipped workers in the federal Fair Labor Standards Act don’t extend to machines.

According to the previous text, judge the following item.
Tipping at self-checkout machines have become mandatory
in most places like coffee shops, bakeries, airports, and
sports stadiums.

“I have to work with computers and phones all the time in my
work, either sitting in front of a screen or living by the apps
on my mobile. I think the number of voice-to-voice phone
calls has gone down a lot in the last few years, but with
Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and so on, I feel sort of
chained to technology the entire length of the working week.
So when the weekend comes, there’s nothing I like better
than switching off the computer, the mobile and the landline
and enjoying real peace and quiet. We live near to some
fields and open country, and I can listen to the birds sing, go
for long walks, maybe drop in at our local pub and have a
drink with some of the locals. It’s not exciting, I grant you, but it’s very relaxing and helps me remember I’m a human
being, not a part of some computerised machine. Of course,
by Sunday night I’m already thinking about the working week
ahead, but never mind. I’ve had those two days to recharge
my batteries, as they say.”

Your Brain Could Be Controlling How Sick You Get - And How
You Recover
Hundreds of scientists around the world are looking
for ways to treat heart attacks. But few started where Hedva
Haykin has: in the brain. Doctor Haykin wants to know
whether stimulating a region of the brain involved in positive
emotion and motivation can influence how the heart heals.
Late last year, in a small, ____________ microscope
room, she pulled out slides from a thin black box, one by
one. On them were slices of hearts, no bigger than pumpkin
seeds, from mice that had experienced heart attacks. Under
a microscope, some of the samples were clearly marred by
scars left in the aftermath of the infarction. Others showed
mere ____________ of damage visible among streaks of
healthy, red-stained cells.
The difference in the hearts’ appearance originated in
the brain, Haykin explains. The healthier-looking samples
came from mice that had received stimulation of a brain
area involved in positive emotion and motivation. Those
marked with scars were from unstimulated mice. On the
basis of her experiments so far, which have not yet been
published, activation of this brain reward centre — called
the ventral tegmental area (VTA) — seems to trigger
immune changes that contribute to the reduction of scar
__________.

Life just might exist on Mars after all
The red planet may have once been home to an
abundance of microbes. New studies suggest it's possible
that some hardy microbes managed to survive underground
in a frozen state.
About 3.5 billion years ago, two of the planets that
orbited the sun may have had biospheres of similar bulk.
One, Earth, evolved in a way that allowed life to flourish and
splinter into endless forms most beautiful. Mars, the other
world, followed a different path.
Today the Martian surface is hostile to life as we
know it, but as this scientific story goes, Mars may have once
hosted a rich abundance of microbes. Residing in the
planet’s briny underworld and shielded from the lethal
radiation that bathes the surface, these organisms could
have grown in nooks and ____________, multiplying until
their collective heft rivaled Earth’s cache of life. Called
methanogens, Mars’s microbes would have inhaled
atmospheric hydrogen and carbon dioxide and exhaled
methane gas - and in a twist, they may have turned out to be
their own worst enemy.
Over time, their growing, insatiable appetite would
have robbed the Martian atmosphere of hydrogen - a
powerful greenhouse gas during the planet’s early days -
ultimately casting a deadly freeze over the planet and
driving microbial populations into deeper, warmer crannies.
How long those burrowing microbes could have survived in
the deep is unknown. It’s possible they were only a shortlived flash of life on an otherwise sterile world.
“Maybe extinction is the cosmic default of life in the
universe,” says Boris Sauterey of the Institut de Biologie de
l’Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris. “It’s not the process of
life ____________ that is limiting; it’s life maintaining itself
that is limiting.”
But perhaps, more than 30 feet beneath the surface
and encased in ice, these ancient single-celled organisms
achieved a state of dormancy - a sort of cryopreserved
slumber, ready to perk up when more life-friendly conditions
arise.
The Martian interior may not be as lifeless as its
face. It could host a world of alien organisms that are
capable of waiting thousands of years between each turn of
their metabolic engines.
This ____________ may sound farfetched, but
recent results from scientists modeling the habitability of
ancient Mars and studying the hardiness of microbes in labs
and beneath our own planet’s surface all point in the same
direction: It’s a long shot, but it’s possible life evolved on
Mars and still exists. And scientists may just find signs of that
life when meteors barrel into Mars and excavate buried
layers of ice, or when new spacecraft arrive to plumb this
underground realm.

Life just might exist on Mars after all
The red planet may have once been home to an
abundance of microbes. New studies suggest it's possible
that some hardy microbes managed to survive underground
in a frozen state.
About 3.5 billion years ago, two of the planets that
orbited the sun may have had biospheres of similar bulk.
One, Earth, evolved in a way that allowed life to flourish and
splinter into endless forms most beautiful. Mars, the other
world, followed a different path.
Today the Martian surface is hostile to life as we
know it, but as this scientific story goes, Mars may have once
hosted a rich abundance of microbes. Residing in the
planet’s briny underworld and shielded from the lethal
radiation that bathes the surface, these organisms could
have grown in nooks and ____________, multiplying until
their collective heft rivaled Earth’s cache of life. Called
methanogens, Mars’s microbes would have inhaled
atmospheric hydrogen and carbon dioxide and exhaled
methane gas - and in a twist, they may have turned out to be
their own worst enemy.

What is the difference between access point and router?
The router acts as a hub that sets up a local area network and manages all of the devices and communication in it. An access point, on the other hand, is a sub-device within the local area network that provides another location for devices to connect from and enables more devices to be on the network.
Wireless routers can function as access points, but not all access points can work as routers. While routers manage local area networks, communicate with outside network systems, acquire, distribute, and dispatch data in multiple directions, establish a point of connectivity, and ensure security, access points typically only provide access to the router’s established network.
