dementia

Dementia (meaning "deprived of mind") is a serious loss of cognitive ability in a previously unimpaired person, beyond what might be expected from normal aging. It may be static, the result of a unique global brain injury, or progressive, resulting in long-term decline due to damage or disease in the body. Although dementia is far more common in the geriatric population, it may occur in any stage of adulthood.

I understand it as someone losing logic.

installing wifi

There are two kinds of wireless transmitters: routers and access points. If you are building a network from scratch, you'll need a router. If you already have a wired home network but want the convenience of staying connected to the Web while you walk around the house, buy a wireless access point. It plugs into your existing hardwired router and costs about $120 to $150.

Videoke or Karaoke

These terms are quite popular in the Philippines. We love too have fun by means of these things. I got curious to where the difference lies between "videoke" and "karaoke", because most of the time I view them as the same. I searched the difference in the internet. I found out that videoke means video karaoke, a combination of these, and karaoke lies only in sing-along tapes and audio equipment. We can say that a videoke is only a type of karaoke, only that it has a video on it, that displays the lyrics and captures.

Mic Noise

Audio feedback (also known as the Larsen effect after the Danish scientist, Søren Larsen, who first discovered its principles) is a special kind of feedback which occurs when a sound loop exists between an audio input (for example, a microphone or guitar pickup) and an audio output (for example, a loudspeaker). In this example, a signal received by the microphone is amplified and passed out of the loudspeaker. The sound from the loudspeaker can then be received by the microphone again, amplified further, and then passed out through the loudspeaker again. This is a good example of positive feedback. The frequency of the resulting sound is determined by resonant frequencies in the microphone, amplifier, and loudspeaker, the acoustics of the room, the directional pick-up and emission patterns of the microphone and loudspeaker, and the distance between them.

Basically, what happens here is that a sound loop exceeds between an audio input and audio output. Microphones amplify the sounds then the speakers return it, then the microphones amplify it again. It is also called the Larsen effect.

Good Day!Piggish is an adjective which means selfisly greedy as printed in Webster Dictionary. I conclude that we use the word piggish to describe a person who doesn't want to share a food and eating it voraciously.

layover

My word for today is layover. Layover means a stop or stay in a place during a journey. It is a noun. Here, in order for us to refresh so that we wouldn't feel exhausted when we arrived at a place, especially distanced ones, we must have a layover. Modes of transportation like buses and jeepneys would usually have a layover so that they will have more passengers thus consuming more time when traveling.

I'm back!After some time of being idle, I finally manage to resume my vocabulary building today. Dotard means an old man becoming weak minded, a definition found in Webster Dictionary.

I will try using this in a sentence,"All people will become a dotard in different period of times appropriate for their own phase of development". That's it!
