To the great glory of God
Church
Phraseologism: To the greater glory of God.
Meaning: Encouragement of useful activity (jokingly).
Origin: From Latin: Ad majorem Dei gloriam. "To the greater" in translation from the Church Slavonic "to the greater." The motto of the Jesuit order, created in 1540. It was even carved on the handles of whips, which were used to punish negligent students of Jesuit schools.
Random phraseology:
No fools.
Meaning:
In all seriousness, no jokes (simple).
Origin:
Sometimes the expression is referred to as a "billiard" language. In some varieties of billiards, it was required to put a certain number of balls into the pockets. Balls that accidentally rolled into the pocket were jokingly called "fools". Some players preferred not to count such balls, they played "no fools". However, the turnover is older: it was born during the Russian Middle Ages and is associated with the customs of the Moscow royal court. When in the royal chambers the well-born boyars were going to "think of the sovereign's Duma", to make serious decisions, their meetings were held in strict secrecy. No one was allowed in there, especially witty and talkative "fools", that is, jesters, who were customary to keep at the royal court. The expression "without fools" literally meant "without jesters", and figuratively - "in all seriousness". |

Artificial leather for touch emulation
15.04.2024
In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>
Petgugu Global cat litter
15.04.2024
Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>
The attractiveness of caring men
14.04.2024
The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Wi-Fi bandwidth increased by 8 times
28.11.2012
Scientists from the University of North Carolina have found a way to increase the throughput of Wi-Fi networks by 700% of the current values. It is reported by ExtremeTech. Most importantly, this method is completely software-based, which means that it can also be implemented in existing networks - to instantly increase the data transfer rate.
It is easy to see that the Wi-Fi network in a cafe or airport is slower than at home. The fact is that in a public place a much larger number of devices are connected to the access point and they all work on the same wireless channel. The channel, depending on the wireless technology used, has a maximum throughput value (for example, 100 Mbps). In addition, the channel is bidirectional: that is, data flows in two directions - from the access point to the user's device and from the device to the access point.
As a result of the limited bandwidth and the connection of a large number of devices, there are interruptions in the connection of individual users, when, due to the high load on the channel, data cannot be transmitted freely and is delayed. To solve the problem, the researchers developed a software algorithm called WiFox, which is part of the Wi-Fi hotspot firmware. It monitors delays in data transfer and, if they occur, turns on the high priority mode. In this mode, the access point takes full control over the wireless channel, freeing it from data accumulation. The system then returns to normal operation.
The WiFox algorithm is a police officer that regulates traffic on a reverse road, alternately opening the way for cars traveling in different directions, cites the example of ExtremeTech. At the same time, apparently, the main difficulty in writing the algorithm was that the switching was performed very quickly.
When testing the algorithm on a Wi-Fi network with 45 connections, university scientists registered a 700% increase in throughput. However, the researchers did not provide exact numbers. Therefore, for example, even in the most modern Wi-Fi network operating on the 802.11n protocol, there could be talk of increasing throughput from 1 to 8 Mbps, ExtremeTech suggests.
