​​How do Bluetooth devices work? Bluetooth uses radio waves instead of wires or cables to transmit information between electronic devices over short-distances. Unlike your cellphone, which uses radio waves to communicate with a cell tower several miles away, the radio waves Bluetooth products use are 1000 times weaker and only travel small distances between the two communicating devices, usually 10 feet or less. If you have a wireless Bluetooth keyboard for your computer, and you take the keyboard to a friend’s house but leave the computer at home, your keyboard won’t be able to communicate with the computer over such a distance. And if you type on it, nothing will appear on your computer screen at home. When Bluetooth-enabled devices are close enough, they can connect with each other through a tiny computer chip inside them that emits the special Bluetooth radio waves. But first, you have to turn on this chip, which you can usually do by pressing a specific button or flipping a marked switch. Then, the communication between the two Bluetooth devices happens over a short-range network called a piconet (pico means really really small in the metric system). This piconet is essentially a network of Bluetooth connected devices. If you’ve connected your computer to a Bluetooth-enabled keyboard, monitor, mouse and speakers, all these devices will form their own Bluetooth piconet. But they won’t be talking to each other individually. One device in this case the computer will be the main device with which all the others are connected. Piconets are established automatically. So once you have a device, like your keyboard, installed and in range of the piconet, it will automatically connect. But if it is not in range the keyboard will automatically leave the piconet. When you bring the keyboard back home, where it is in range again, it will automatically reconnect. It isn’t hard to see why Bluetooth technology has become so popular in recent years. Now everyone can feel like Lieutenant Uhura in the original Star Trek television series as they press their finger to their ear and activate their Bluetooth earpiece in order to receive an incoming phone call, leaving their hands free to help save the starship Enterprise or drive a car.

"Often time in life, what is easy to do is not worth it. Sure, crashing on the couch and watching the newest episode of your favorite show is a pleasurable experience, but it is bad input and it will not help you advance much in the road to success." Amar Hasic #quotes

Often seen as the most useless bird on the planet, the Kakapo can't fly and can barely walk. To attract females, the male will dig a hole and sit in it, shouting loudly at any female passing by. Rarely does this work, so it waddles off to find a rock and humps that instead. #animals

​​How Do Cash Counting Machines Work? Cash counting machines are made to count the number or denomination of bills that are placed into the machine. They pull in the bills, count the amount that was inserted, and give you the correct number of bills in a stack. This saves a lot of time and offers a mistake-free way to count large sums.  Cash counting machines are designed to count and sometimes sort bills. These machines have an internal beam that counts the number of times the beam of light is interrupted. This tells the machine how many bills have been counted. For machines that also help to detect counterfeit bills, there is a black light that illuminates the fluorescent images on real bills. This results in the ability to count the bills and detect counterfeit cash at the same time. There are also machines that can determine the denomination of each bill using colour image sensors, or CIS. The sensor scans and determines the value of the bill and adds this to the total on the display screen. Coin Counters, These machines do for coins what cash counting machines do for dollar bills. They count the number of coins that are put into the machine. However, there are also some models that can also sort the coins into different denominations by sorting the coin sizes separately. This will count the total number of coins and the amount of value between them all while sorting dimes quarters, nickels, and pennies into their own slots.
