WIRELESS FIDELITY, (WI-FI).

On By nouveaubigmjoeIn Technology.Leave a comment

 

As this break-up would suggest, Wireless Fidelity is a term used to define data technology that allows people access to high-speed internet without the need for cables. Wi-Fi itself refers to the popular wireless network technology which enables a Wireless Local Area Network, or WLAN.

Wi-Fi is defined as an abbreviation for wireless fidelity, meaning you can access or connect to a network using radio waves, without needing to use wires.

How does Wi-Fi work- firstly, a computer’s wireless adapter translates data into a radio signal and easily transmits it using an antenna. After that, a wireless router receives the signal and decodes it. The router is there also to send information to the internet using a wired Ethernet connection.

A Router is a communication device that is used to connect two different networks. A Repeater is a communication device that is used to regenerate a signal. Repeaters help signals to travel longer distances with the same strength or even at a higher power.

 How to set up a Wi-Fi network

  • Purchase a wireless router. To create your own Wi-Fi network, you’ll need a wireless router.
  • Connect the cables. Once you’ve acquired a wireless router, you’ll need to connect it to your existing Internet modem.
  • Configure your router.
  • Connect!
  • Congratulations!

 Advantages of Wifi

 1. Convenience

 Wireless networks allows multiple users to connect through the same network. In a fraction of seconds without any configurations, connections can be made through the router or a hotspot technology. This ease of use and convenience is not present in the wired networks. In a wired network, it takes more time to configure and allow access to multiple users.

 2. Mobility

As long as you are in the range of a Wifi Access Point, with Wifi you can carry out your regular works from anywhere you want especially with the mobile devices. You don’t have to always sit right in front of the computer to get internet access. Such works include, bank transactions, email sending and checking work reports.

3. Productivity

 Regardless of their location, staffs of a company can accomplish their assigned tasks with a Wifi network. Users who connect to a Wifi network can experience different ranges of speed as they move from one location to another. And also there are least chances of experiencing technical glitches with the Wireless LAN. As a result staffs can be more engaged and be able to deliver their timely targets and works, enhancing the overall productivity of the company.

 4. Deployment

The installation of a Wifi access point is relatively easy compared to a Wired network connection. There is no complexity of cables being run in different locations and operating switches. Think of setting up a desktop with the network connection in a workplace. Installing a new Wifi router is easy rather than fitting a complex cable network.

 5. Expandability

Adding new users to a Wifi network is an easy task. With the proper Wireless LAN credentials, more users can access the Wifi network. Additionally there is no need to install any new type of equipment, all can be done with the existing. This significantly saves time and effort of the clients.

 6. Cost

Compared to a Wired network connection, Wireless networks offer significant advantages in terms of cost and labour. Especially when installing a new Wifi network, you can cut down the expenses in wiring and maintenance. Out of these the bigger expense comes under the wiring part. Since very less number of wires are used here, it can save bigger amount in companies overall budget.

 Disadvantages of Wifi

 1. Security

Even though many encryption techniques are taken by the wireless networks, still the Wifi is vulnerable to hacking. Due to its wireless nature it has high chances of being hacked especially the Public Wifi networks. Since the Public Wifi networks are open for anyone, hackers can impose their fake networking ID. Without consent users may connect to this fake ID and fall into the category of cyber attack victims.

 2. Range

Range offered by a Wifi network is limited, typically around 100-150 feet. While it is sufficient for a normal home, it can actually be a problem for building structures. The strength of a Wifi network will be reducing as you move away from the access point. Since the building are multi-storeyed, the strength of the Wifi network can be varying at different floors. This cloud weaken the company’s workflow. The only way to overcome this is by purchasing additional access points.

 3. Speed

The speed of a Wifi connections are far more slower than a wired connection (around 1-54 Mbps). That is too just one device connected to the dedicated servers. This may look fine as long as there are few devices connected to the network. The moment when there are more devices connected, you could experience a drastic reduction in speed.

 4. Reliability

A Wifi network works in the frequency of 2.4Ghz. This frequency has high chances of getting hindered due to the electro magnetic waves and other forms of obstacles. As a result you may frequently experience connectivity issues and weak signal strengths. Especially during large file transfers the signal can get interfered.

 5. Bandwidth

Many routers only allows 30 maximum devices to be connected. The bandwidth of the Wifi network gets weaker as you add more devices. It is solely reserved for a single user. Most often when the bandwidth gets limited users can experience slow speeds.

 6. Health issues

There are certain conspiracy theories about Wifi that it causes health issues in human. Some of them are cancer, insomnia and apoptosis. Same as the effects caused from the Microwave frequencies (EMF). And also it is advised for pregnant womens, not to get exposed to the Wifi signals as it releases Electromagentic radiations.

Mr Go-getter

On By nouveaubigmjoeIn poetryLeave a comment

Here I’m again,
With my compadre standing on the shoulder,
I feel the energy has been replenished,
I’ve finally crossed the border to another space, rich in opportunities,
Six foot I buried my trepidation,
I had to trudge upto this space to fullfil my dreams.

The streets have it that I’m a failure,
They say I’m less productive to them,
Anything great that comes out me, sounds meaningless to them,
They’ve crowned me as a man of misfortunes,
I’ve been slurred and devalued,
Is it because of my humble background,
That you have all the reasons to ostracized me?
Do y’all have have to smirk and laugh at me?

We’re all transgressors,
We all have equal measure before God’s eye,
No power lies within us human beings to judge every individual’s state,
It’s God only who can rate our states.
I was bestowed with a pure Golden heart,
I’ll never loathe those mockers but instead I will always put them inside my basket of forgiveness.

Hard, I’ve been taught to survive,
Thus why I’m in this Dreamland space to seize every opportunity that best suits me,
My dream is to change this painful reality that pinches every part of my skin,
I don’t want enemies to call me a failure,
The word failure doesn’t fit Mr go-getter.

Even if they call me a failure,
They will have only define my outer part,
Deep inside, I comprehend my full potentials and abilities,
I can transform the current reality to a much preferable one,
I’ve learnt to chase what best belongs to me.

Nature has given me a wonderful opportunity to explore,
I won’t tire seeking for the pearls belonging to my life.
During period of temptations,
I will show my unwavering faith to all those mockers,
Nothing but the best will come out of me in the end.

Celebrate writers, honour them for their roles

On By nouveaubigmjoeIn opinionLeave a comment

Edward Bulwer-Lytton, an English author, once said, “The pen is mightier than the sword.”

Try to imagine how the world would have looked like now if intellectuals with sharp writing skills and ideas didn’t exist.

The state of the world, of course, would have been dire.

Records of events that once unfolded some years back would not have existed.

News stories, books, novels, magazines, newspapers, poems and many things that we enjoy reading every day wouldn’t have been there too. But all these exist because of the well-informed, educated and talented writers we have in the world. Many have been equipped with requisite skills which help them serve readers with trusted content. Their happiness and goal is to inform and get readers attention, emotions, opinions, feelings and resolutions towards what has been written.

Having prolific writers in this world has served us good. Kenya, being one of the countries in the world with blessed writers, has gained massive benefits from the roles played by them. After independence, Kenyans were fully guaranteed freedom. They were allowed to do whatever best suited them. Through letters, documentaries, books and superb news stories they published in newspapers, magazines and the internet, helped in identifying and solving societal problems.

They acted as torchbearers by illuminating all the dark areas of concern. Not only did they address disturbing issues in society but also presented possible solutions or recommendations. Up to date, the undying spirit found within writers is still active. They play another greater role in educating society.

This starts from health matters, politics, revision of the constitution and laws of a particular country, status of the economy and so on. Most readers in Kenya usually get an insight into all these through newspapers, magazines, books and news websites. Writers also tame and mend society, through controversial issues discussed by well-educated and dedicated writers, a responsible society is being raised. Readers are in a position to comprehend what undermines unity, peace, development and mutual understanding among them and what best they need to do to restore peaceful coexistence in society.

The split parts are professionally mended into. Some Kenyans have been zombified by social ills they earlier topped in. We have been hearing corruption cases, rape and child molestation cases. Writers have been using their cleaning agents which is their pen and ink to clean up all these. This means that their existence comes with benefits. Any words from a writer serve as a final verdict. What they preach through written pieces, is what readers will follow. They have the power to manipulate the thinking and actions of people in the right direction.

We need to celebrate, honour and most importantly, accord them the respect they deserve. By doing that, they are going to be more productive.

Understand what mental health is!!

On By nouveaubigmjoeIn health and wellnessLeave a comment

Mental health is a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community. According to the World Health Organization (WHO). Mental health includes subjective well-being, perceived self-efficacy, autonomy, competence, intergenerational dependence, and self-actualization of one’s intellectual and emotional potential, among others. From the perspectives of positive psychology or holism, mental health may include an individual’s ability to enjoy life and to create a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve psychological resilience. Cultural differences, subjective assessments, and competing professional theories all affect how one defines “mental health”. Some early signs related health problems are sleep irritation, lack of energy and thinking of harming yourself or others.

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

Some of the more common mental health issues and mental illnesses are:

Anxiety disorders. 

Behavioural and emotional disorders in children.  

Bipolar affective disorder. 

Depression.

Dissociation and dissociative disorders. 

Eating disorders. 

Obsessive compulsive disorder.

Paranoia.

Talking about mental health helps improve our communities by making it more acceptable for those suffering from mental illnesses to seek help, learn to cope, and get on the road to recovery. In addition, mental health isn’t just about mental illnesses. It’s also about maintaining a positive state of wellbeing.

Greatness

On By nouveaubigmjoeIn poetryLeave a comment

   

You want that a million worth Bentley

Its not an Everest climb You’ll get it

You want that best life in every scene of your dream

It’s not a division of a Zero by a five or four

You will honestly get it.

You want to run away from those tormenting nightmares Every time midnight glares

It’s not an ‘If wishes were horses’

You will get away from them

You want that  precious pretty lass of her heir’s  

It’s not a trip to get hold of the sky 

You will get her

But to meet the above, the most powerful weapon is UNLESS

Unless you flip your mind wide open and create a channel to meet all the greatness

Unless you tell yourself I was born to achieve greatness and work towards it

Unless you find an antidote to the  poison embedded within the words of your tongue

Unless you work tirelessly regardless of the vile talks of man

Unless you believe that the source of greatness is the Mighty HE above our conscience

Then automatically greatness is in your path Folk

10 Mind Blowing Facts About Turtles

On By nouveaubigmjoeIn EnvironmentLeave a comment

Turtles are one of the most magnificent creatures on earth. They are found on most continents, some islands and much of the ocean. These fascinating creatures are an order of reptiles known as Testudines which also includes tortoises and terrapins.

Turtles have been very successful, and have almost world-wide distribution. But, of the many species alive today, some are highly endangered. Their natural habitats around the world is being destroyed mercilessly. They have been hunted for their meat, for use in traditional medicine and for their shells. As a result of these pressures, they are threatened with extinction.

Despite that, turtles have been widely known because of their quiet and exquisite nature. Legally, people are widely keeping some terrestrial and freshwater species as pets. Something which is amazing!

Below is a compilation of top ten terrific and mind blowing facts them.

Turtles are one of the oldest surviving reptile groups and a more ancient group than lizards, snakes and crocodiles.

These creatures date back to the time of dinosaurs, over 200 million years ago. The earliest Fossil turtle comes from the early Upper Triassic of China, about 220 million years ago.

Turtles shell are made mostly of bone; the upper part is the domed Carapace, while the underside is the flatter belly-plate. It’s outer surface is covered in scales made of keratin, the material of hair, horns and claws. The Carapace bones develop from ribs that grow sideways and develop into broad flat plates that join up to cover the body. The main function of their shells is to act as a shield protecting them from predators or any other type of danger.

They are ectotherms or “cold-blooded”. This draws a meaning that their internal temperature varies with their direct environment.

What a turtle eats depends on the environment it lives in. Those dwelling on land will munch on bettles, fruit and grass, whereas sea dwellers will gobble everything from algae to squid and Jellyfish.

Like other reptiles, birds, and mammals, they breathe air and lay their eggs on land, although many species live in or around water.

Turtles are generally opportunistic omnivores and mainly feed on plants and mammals with limited movements. Many baby turtles start life as carnivores (meat eaters) but grow to eat more plants as they mature.

These ectotherms have an incredibly long life span. The oldest ever recorded, named Tu”i Malila, of Tongo Island, passed away at the grand old age of 188.

According to International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), many species of turtle are endangered. 129 of approximately 300 species of turtle and tortoise on earth today are often vulnerable or critically endangered. Threats include loss of habitat, poaching and illegal pet trade.

Turtles have appeared in myths and folktales around the world. Also, some people haven’t cut off the belief that a turtle can come out its shell, which is hell wrong. The turtle’s shell grow with them so it’s impossible for them to grow too big for it.

Super Foods To Improve Phallic Health And Performance.

On By nouveaubigmjoeIn health and wellness3 Comments

The fact that the food you eat directly affects your sexual health, is common knowledge. But are there foods which can be included in your diet to improve penile health? Besides making small changes in your lifestyle choices and keeping yourself physically fit, eating certain foods can help you significantly improve health of your nether regions. In the case of penile performance, everything from sperm motility to erection can be affected by what you eat. So you should be careful while making such dietary choices.

There are some nutrients, which have been known to have positive effects on some specific functions of the penis, hence improving its health and consequently, performance. Some of these nutrients are very well known vitamins, while some others are not so well known, but are equally vital to maintain good phallic health. We have already made a list of super foods which can significantly help you improve your libido.

Here’s a list of 10 super foods which you should include in your diet, to maintain penile health:

Potatoes

Potatoes- both the sweet and the white ones- are a great source of potassium, which helps improve blood circulaton and helps blood reach the groin region. This in turn helps men in prolonging the pleasure and maintaining the erection for a longer period of time.

Carrots

A surprise feature on this list is carrots, which help in improving sperm count and motility. Studies have proven that this particular vegetable, which is also low on calories and full of nutrients, can facilitate the ability of the sperms to swin towards the egg. An increase in the consumption of carrots, can lead to an improved sperm performance, by as high as 6.5 to eight per cent! This ability has been attributed to the supply of carotenoids and Vitamin A, by the carrots to the consumer’s blood stream.

Cherries

Cherries can really be cherries on top of your metaphorical cake of sex life. Studies have found that these pleasant looking fruits are also anthocyanins, which cleans your arteries, keeping them free of clogs. This helps in maintaining a good flow of blood to your genitals. What’s more- these are also great sources of Vitamin B, fiber and cancer fighting flavanoids. They are also healthy- one cup full of cherries contains less than 100 calories.

Spicy/Hot Sauce

Studies have shown that men who eat more spicy food and hot sauces, have better testosterone levels in the body. The increased levels of testosterone have been attributed to a compund in chillies called capsaicin. Hot sauces like tobasco sauce have been known to release chemicals, which increase heart rate, mirror signs of arousal and revv up your libido.

Strawberries

Probably the most romantic fruit to have with your special some one is also one that helps you maintain a proper blood flow, to ensure longer erections. Strawberries have the chemical anthocyanin, which helps unclogging arteries and boosting circulation. They also have Vitamin C, which helps in improving sperm count.

Dark Chocolate

There’s a reason chocolate has been widely considered as an ideal romantic gift- it improves mood, by boosting the levels of serotonin ( the happiness hormone) in blood. Serotonin is also responsible for decreasing stress and hence, increasing desire and chances of reaching the climax. Cacao has also been known to relax blood vessels, increasing blood flow to the groin, and consequently increasing pleasure.

Green Tea

Is there anything that green tea CANNOT do? The wonder tea, is great for improving anti oxidants, help you reduce body fat and improving libido as well. One lesser known benefit of this most popular of all teas, is its ability to improve penile health by reducing blood vessel inflammation and hence boosting the blood flow. The catechins in green tea have been found to help blood vessel cells to relese nitric oxide gas, which causes them to widen, improving the flow of blood.

Avocados

Avocados are fast becoming the most favored fruits of the world. They have immense health benefits, not least of which is to improve phallic health. The savoury fruit, which is rich in potassium, vitamin B6 and vitamin E, all of which have been known to improve a person’s sex drive. They are also packed with minerals and carotenoids, which supply the body with energy and stamina.

Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is not just delicious, it’s also healthy for your penis. The popular and creamy spread, has two most inportant performance boosting nutreints: Niacin and vitamin E. Niacin has been proven to improve erection ability, even in men suffering from impotence. Moreover, peanut butter is also rich in folate, which improved sperm quality. It’s time to prepare a PBJ sandwich right now!

Walnuts

Nuts, including pistachios, walnuts and peanuts are all rich in amino acid L-arginine, which facilitates the release of nitric oxide gas, responsible for widening the blood vessels to ensure good blood flow. buts are also great for maintaining low levels of cholestrol, which again ensures optimal blood circulation to the penile region.

Embracing faith, hardwork and discipline will mark a step to success for every Kenyan

2021 was one of the most tiresome, stressful and dreadful year to almost every Kenyan. This was due to some of challenges demonstrated by COVID-19 pandemic. There were strict measures implemented by the ministry of health to help curb virus infections. Lockdown and curfew ruled the entire breath of the nation. Cessation of movement was the goal which saw a number of citizens being affected either financially, physically or emotionally. Companies and organizations were forced to shut down due rapid spread of deadly Corona Virus. It was a huge blow to our economy. The status of our economy had deteriorated beyond recognition. It was deplorable. Dismay filled out hearts and we were perturbed who will save our country from jaws of that ‘monster’.

Parents on the other side had a rough time catering for the needs of their children. Schools were also shut down for almost a year affecting education calendar. However, everything was resolved and restored back to normal though with new changes. In one way or another we all faced the wrath side of the pandemic. Multiple of challenges erupted from every corner. It was another hell on earth.

2022 is another year yet to unleash its own new realities and changes. And it’s the dream of every Kenyan to see light at the end of their dark tunnel. During the time of distress and regrets, back in 2021, we all strived to soldier on. We lived by faith knowing that normalcy would be attained again. Despite the fact that we lost our loved ones through death, we kept on believing in better times ahead. Hope and greatness enthroned the heart and mind of many. Every Kenyan embraced hardwork and discipline in the name of changing their lives statuses despite the pandemic. And that’s what defined our undying spirit.

Although Corona virus still haunts our lives, 2022 should be a year of change to everyone. We should shed off the old version of us. Anticipating for a change and better tommorow should be the drive force. After independence, Kenya was and still is a free country. we had more time and chance to change our visions and missions in life. So faith, discipline and hardwork applies in the realm of life. A discpline and loyal citizen will always shun away from anything evil or unholy that will harm others. Moreover, an individual with faith believes in turning the impossible into possible. But remember it would be difficult to survive with faith only. Hardwork now dives in. Faith and hardwork goes hand in hand with each other. You can confidently anticipate for an outcome when you have invested your time and energy in those two productive qualities that defines a better future and version of you.

Usher the new year in style. Recharge your self esteem with faith, discipline and hardwork. As we pertake different activities, the three should be our daily life theme. The government together with the ministry of health is grappling with the virus for the betterment our lives. On the hand, we shouldn’t sleep. Let’s pray and fight for hope. We still don’t know for how long will it exist. So the rules implemented earlier are still in effect. Don’t permit ignorance disease to kill you. Abide by all rules. By embracing faith, discipline and hardwork it will foster the development of our economy, social, religion and political life. We can reach at the pinnacle of everything. The new year has kicked off and it’s time to secure even more the future of our country, Kenya.

REALITY.

On By nouveaubigmjoeIn poetryLeave a comment

It dawned on me that no one is real except Christ,

The duplicates, fake and manipulated people are baked,

Real is rare, fake is everywhere, smile we see grudges inside,

Parents killing their own, fiancée’s betraying the loved ones

Jokes and Memes is what people value most as if  it’s well,

Reality faded out of people’s faces.

Graduation is valueless jobs are scum unless you have a brown envelope,

Less privileged looked down upon since they have failed to develop,

They assist you and announce it on social media then you’re robbed,

Laugh with you in your presence but laugh at you in your absence,

Pretenders are all over sympathizing and empathizing hypocritically,

Reality eloped people’s minds.

Hundred years from now majority will be in hell though they claim Christ,

Wonders shall never cease 21st Century has more for you in store,

The Word of God is used for business and riches as we pay to receive,

People hiding in a cacoon to cheat  with their witch craft leading to death,

Leaders are corrupt and misleading instead of showing direction to citizens,

Do what makes you happy they say that is evil that gives us joy and happiness!

Reality is no more, work out your ways and do what is right.
