Drive for Mozhay.

Very far (to drive someone).

Origin:

Mozhay here is the colloquial form of the toponym Mozhaysk (a city in the west of the Moscow region). According to one version, the turnover arose during the retreat of Napoleon's army from Russia, according to another, even earlier, when the troops of Minin and Pozharsky drove the Poles beyond Mozhai. The expression may also be related to the fact that there used to be places beyond Mozhai (Mozhaisk) where disgraced, dissident people were sent from Moscow to the settlement. It was considered very far away at the time.

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.

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.

Qube has announced the start of deliveries of smart bulbs of the same name. Recall that the fundraising for the release of Qube light bulbs was organized back in November 2015, and the creators of the device promised to start deliveries in April 2016. So they delivered on their promise, albeit with a delay of three quarters. At the same time, we started accepting orders for light bulbs on the company's website. Community Funding members will be the first to receive Qube bulbs, with new orders starting to ship in February.

The Qube bulb supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth LE. Thanks to a wireless connection, it can be controlled from a mobile device, changing the brightness and color of the glow (16 million shades are available). As stated, the lamp creates a luminous flux of up to 800 lm, which is comparable to a 60 W incandescent lamp. A color music mode is available using a mobile device to play a sound recording. Also available is an alarm function and a reminder to take an umbrella if the mobile application sees rain in the weather forecast. The lamp can automatically turn on when the user enters the room. In addition, the application will remind you if the light is left on when no one is at home.

Qube price is $29. During January there is a discount, so you can order a light bulb for $24.
