What does Novus ordo seclorum mean on a one dollar bill?

Conspiracy theorists like to say that the one dollar bill and the Great Seal of the United States say "New World Order." In fact, the Latin saying "Novus ordo seclorum" is translated differently: "The new order of the ages." This motto was placed on the Great Seal to commemorate the independence of the United States and the beginning of a new era in American history.

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

How did Odysseus, the son of the king of the tiny island of Ithaca, contrive to marry Penelope, the daughter of the mighty Spartan king?

The most beautiful of women, according to ancient Greek myths, was Helena, the daughter of Zeus and Leda, the wife of the Spartan king Tyndareus.

When Elena reached marriageable age, the rumor about her beauty spread so widely that several dozen kings and the most noble heroes of all Hellas gathered to woo the girl. Odysseus, then an unknown son of a king from the tiny island of Ithaca, joined the crowd of suitors. Realizing that he was too poor and had no hope of success, Odysseus did not even bring gifts to Elena. However, Tyndareus did not accept gifts from anyone, although he did not send suitors, because he was afraid that any choice of his would cause a quarrel.

It was then that Odysseus showed for the first time his cunning, which later became legendary. He advised Tyndareus to force all Helen's suitors to swear that they would protect Helen's chosen one, whoever he was. Tyndareus highly appreciated this advice and took advantage of it, and in gratitude he persuaded his co-ruler brother Icarius to marry his daughter Penelope to Odysseus.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Oral-B Smart Toothbrushes 05.01.2022

Oral-B, known for its oral care products, has unveiled three new smart toothbrushes. All of them are included in the iO line.

The most advanced model is called iO10. With an improved docking station and built-in indicators, users can monitor brushing time, pressure, and more without having to keep their iPhone handy.

Once brushing is complete, all information will be sent to the Oral-B app. In it, users will be able to view statistics and learn how to make cleaning even more efficient. Oral-B iO10 supports seven different modes and has a smart pressure sensor. The latter will help protect the gums from damage.

The Oral-B iO10 is priced at $299,99. Together with the top model, Oral-B also showed two simpler brushes - iO4 and iO5. Each one will cost less than $100.

In terms of their capabilities, budget models will lose Oral-B iO10. In particular, they have fewer brushing modes available. Also, younger models are equipped with simple docking stations.
