![]() The final explanation given is that ‘to the nines’ may actually be derived from ‘to thine eyes’ – but this has very little basis in history. However, this still leaves the question of why nine, rather than any other number. A third and eminently believable theory is that it developed from the earlier phrase ‘to the nines’ meaning perfection. One theory is that it takes nine yards of fabric to make a suit, another that the uniform worn by members of the 99 th Wiltshire Regiment – known as the Nines – was flamboyant. Its use in this phrase is unclear, as it is in ‘cloud nine’ and ‘whole nine yards’. Origin: Researching this idiom threw up perhaps the most interesting of points so far – that nine is troublesome when it comes to etymology. Meaning: Dressed up for a special occasion The latter phrase, however, isn’t as widely used as ‘down at heel’. has worn through the elbows of their jacket/top. Origin: The first known use of this phrase was in William Darrell’s A gentleman instructed in the conduct of a virtuous and happy life: “Sneak into a corner…down at heels and out at elbows.” The idea was that a person who wears worn down heels is impoverished, as is a person who is ‘out at elbows’, i.e. ![]() It has evolved to read ‘all mouth and no trousers’, meaning the same thing but moving it closer to the idea of someone ‘talking the talk’ but not ‘walking the walk’. However, what all sources agree is that the original phrase was ‘all mouth and trousers’, used to describe a man consisting just of mouth (bravado) and trousers (outer clothing) but no brain/substance or anything underneath the clothes (we’ll leave the specific meaning of that part to your imagination). Origin: This has caused many a debate over the years, not the etymology per se, but whether or not to include the word ‘no’. Meaning: Description of someone who talks a good game but can’t back it up with actions Origin: The origin doesn’t seem to have been recorded however, the widely held belief is that this was coined to describe the skin – the only thing you’re ‘wearing’ on the day you’re born. It fits with other phrases around the idea of battle, including rolling up the sleeves. ![]() Origin: According to various sources, the idiom comes from 19 th Century America, where the signal to start a fight in battle was sometimes signalled by the person in charge dropping a hat or sweeping it downwards. Meaning: To stop everything else in order to complete an action immediately, often on a signal to do so Could you utter a clothing-based idiom at the drop of a hat?

Apple hopes that won't be the case here and that games developers will see the new feature as a way to enhance not only the gaming experience on the iPad, iPod and iPhone, but also to bring more games to the desktop. Reckless Racing curiously opts out of integrating Game Center or any other social gaming network in favour of a proprietary setup. Microsoft many years ago introduced PC to Xbox multiplayer gaming, but the system failed to catch on with developers shunning the idea. It's not the first cross-platform gaming initiative. It works in the same way as multiplayer gaming does already with Game Center on the iPad, iPod, and iPhone and we could easily see it becoming popular with games like Words with Friends. ![]() This one was personal The concept had been in our minds since day.

![]() ![]() ROSS: What's so fantastic about this is that anybody can put a little masterpiece on canvas with just a little bit of practice, a vision in your mind, and off you go. And Bob Ross had the most caring, loving, gentle personality. RICHARD: It's a gentle person making gentle sounds, and somehow, that's helpful to you or you perceive that moment as caring. We'll just very quickly drop in just a little warm part in the sky here. ROSS: And we'll take this old brush and just making little X's, little crisscross strokes. It fits the perfect scenario of what we refer to as an ASMR scenario. RICHARD: He had a gentle voice, he had a kind disposition, and he had a skill that he was teaching you. But there was something tantalizing about him. But back in the '80s, he was this guy with big hair on public television who would paint a landscape in real time on camera. ZOMORODI: For those who aren't familiar, Bob Ross has become kind of a kitschy icon. I'm Bob Ross, and I'd like to welcome you to the 29th "Joy Of Painting" series. (SOUNDBITE OF TV SHOW, "THE JOY OF PAINTING")īOB ROSS: Hello. ![]() They said people who experience ASMR tend to feel deeply relaxed and feel these brain tingles when they watch the TV show, Bob Ross' "Joy Of Painting" and my eyes lit up. And I was about to delete the episode until they gave the example of Bob Ross. And I'm a physiologist, and this sounded like physiology, but I'd never heard of it, so I was very skeptical. I was listening to a podcast in my kitchen and the episode was about this term that I had never heard before - autonomous sensory meridian response. ZOMORODI: So tell me - how on Earth, Craig, did you discover this world of research, and when did you find out that these sensations were actually something neurological going on? This could be between a hairdresser and a client, a health professional and a patient, romantic partners or even best friends. And it's usually a moment of positive personal attention, which means that you're interacting with someone who is kind and caring. RICHARD: But what's common to all these triggers of ASMR is that they must be gentle, low volume if they're sounds and non-abrupt. The triggers for this relaxing feeling can be a sound. But it also has these signature brain tingles, which feel light and sparkly. RICHARD: ASMR stands for autonomous sensory meridian response, which is just a complicated word for a feeling that is deeply relaxing. Craig spent the last several years researching why some people love these sounds. ZOMORODI: ASMR, you may have heard of it before - those videos on YouTube of people whispering or making crinkling noises that millions of people watch to relax. What I miss is going to the hairdresser for that stimulation of ASMR that would happen. I am a bald man, but I don't miss my hair. RICHARD: And I have a confession because you're only hearing my voice right now you're not seeing me. RICHARD: And then all that would just put me in this deep state of relaxation. RICHARD: I'd hear the snip, snip, snip of the scissors. (SOUNDBITE OF SCISSORS OPENING AND CLOSING) RICHARD: And then they would start cutting it. (SOUNDBITE OF BRUSH RUNNING THROUGH HAIR) RICHARD: But then they'd start teasing my hair a little bit and saying, well, what do you want to do? Do you want it shorter? Do you want it like this? RICHARD: They then walk me over to the chair, and they'd sit me down. ![]() And that moment right there is just - I would want that to last a long time. ![]() RICHARD: And then they start running their fingers through your hair. RICHARD: And they start running that water through your hair. ZOMORODI: Craig used to love going to the hairdresser.

The proposed scheme was simulated and evaluated using the MATLAB Simulation tool and the result was compared with a Pure Proactive Spectrum Handoff Scheme. A Proactive FuzzyBased Backup Channel Selection Scheme (PFBBCSS) was proposed where the Secondary User (SU) gathers backup channels in advance before the return of the Primary User (PU), then fuzzy logic would be used for the selection of the best channel out of the available backup channels. This research aims to minimize the delay that occurs during spectrum handoff. The main problem in spectrum handoff is the time taken in the searching, selection, and switching to a new available channel which can cause a significant amount of delay during spectrum handoff. Spectrum handoff is a crucial function of Cognitive Radio (CR) which is the change of operating frequency. Finally, this study is expected to be reference material for the design and analysis of rain attenuation. Key findings from the detailed survey have shown that many open research questions, challenges, and applications could open up new research frontiers, leading to novel findings in rain attenuation. Specifically, taxonomies in different rain attenuation modeling and analysis areas are extensively discussed. To address these gaps, this paper conducted an extensive literature survey on rain attenuation modeling, methods of analyses, and model validation techniques, leveraging the ITU-R regional categorizations. Also, taxonomies of the methods of model validation and regional developmental efforts on rain attenuation modeling have not been explicitly highlighted in the literature. However, the existing review works conducted over three decades (1990 to 2022), have not adequately provided comprehensive taxonomies for each method of rain attenuation modeling to expose the trends and possible future research directions. Some established research works have attempted to provide state-of-the-art reviews on modeling and analysis of rain attenuation in the context of extremely high frequencies. In typical equatorial and tropical locations, rain attenuation is more prevalent. Signal attenuation becomes more severe at extremely high frequencies, usually above 10 GHz. Radio waves are attenuated by atmospheric phenomena such as snow, rain, dust, clouds, and ice, which absorb radio signals. A decrease in MSE of between 8.33 to 44.6% was observed. The mean square error (MSE) of prediction was minimized using a GA by iteratively adjusting the HW discount factors to improve the forecast accuracy. The HW approach uses exponential smoothing to encode the spectrum data and uses them to forecast typical values in present and future states. Secondly, the spectrum duty cycle was used in the evaluation of the forecast behavior of the forecasting methods. A frequency point with a power spectral density less than the decision threshold was considered unoccupied and was assigned a value of 0, while a frequency point with a power spectral density larger than the decision threshold was considered occupied and was assigned a value of 1. In computing the spectrum duty cycle, different decision thresholds per band link were employed due to differing noise levels. Firstly, a description of spectrum measurement that was done during a two-week duration at locations (8.511 °N, 4.594 ☎) and (8.487 °N, 4.573 ☎) of the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz bands is given. In this research, the suitability of a genetic algorithm (GA) modified Holt-Winters (HW) exponential model for the prediction of spectrum occupancy data was investigated. ![]() ![]() Tutter (performed by Peter Linz) – A small light blue mouse who loves cheese. ![]() Bear acts a caregiver to Pip, Pop, Ojo, Treelo and Tutter.
