Future smart speakers won’t just know what you want — they’ll do your shopping for you

Future smart speakers won’t just know what you want — they’ll do your shopping for you.

January 11, 2019

So as I read Tasnims blog about the amazon-go-cashier-free-store, I decided to talk about something related to Amazon like Alexa.

‘I’ve heard of things that could do what you want only connected to your phone System but I never knew that one day there will be a think that can shop for you”-Opinion

Marketing professor Niraj Dawar says ”we will become more loyal to our AI service than our favorite brands”

As consumers around the globe progressively swing to smart speakers for their shopping needs, organizations are searching for new roads to move you products.

It would have more qualities then Alexa and Siri because they  will also offer a curated, well-researched and short selection based on your needs, wants and desires.

“That makes branding incredibly important, because if you are just asking your device to reorder the thing you’ve got last time, then there’s almost no branding exercise taking place there,” Tom Webster, vice president of strategy at Edison Research, told Day 6.

 Did you know?

The first major hurdle to overcome is one already at play in your local supermarket — the private label brand.

Amazon-Alexa

Amazon Basics is currently the world’s fastest growing private label, according to Niraj Dawar, a marketing professor at Western University’s Ivey Business School in London, Ont.

”When you bring someone a skill that they trust and that helps them … it actually changes how people feel about the people behind that brand.”-Tom Webster, marketing expert

It’s not incomprehensible that Alexa might one day order her own company’s product by default, rather than the Tide you’ve used for years. That’s the challenge that traditional brands need to overcome.

”A large part of marketers’ budgets are already spent convincing buyers to make a trip to their local shop for a specific product” said Dawar.

Deeper

About two-thirds of consumers use smart speakers according to research by Adobe Analytics. About 30 % of Consumers  order products online.

Webster says that these relatively simple tasks are “kind of a Trojan horse for everything else that they can do.”

As the technology is becoming a big topic in our lives, people will rely on them for more complex tasks.

“It’s very likely that algorithms that are embedded in these AI speakers will be able to sift through the noise … and pick the right one based on your calling patterns,” said Dawar.

Opinion

This Speaker does reduce the use on screen time so basically you see visual real estate more fewer which is good for your eyes. So I think that’s a good start to advance Alexa. The thing I hate about Alexa is when you ask her something it says Sorry… and doesn’t reply so you have to say the thing again. But again  that happens to some of us so it’s not a major problem. But overall by now Amazons Alexa is fine.

Qualcomm wins case against Apple, could lead to iPhone ban in Germany

  The iPhone’s 7 plus, 7, 8, 8 plus and X are affected,” said the regional court in Munich.

Qualcomm wins case against Apple, could lead to iPhone ban in Germany

Credit

Heated Topic…

A German court on Thursday found for US chipmaker Qualcomm in a patent debate argument against Apple, which could prompt a prohibition on offers of iPhone’s in Germany.

The court states that the order forbidding offers of influenced iPhone’s must be forced quickly if Qualcomm set out a security store adding up to $765 million.

The court also says that it had searched for the considerable sum as that could be the total allowed to Apple to the extent salary adversities if the iPhone maker makes sense of how to get the Munich  ruling overturned by a higher court.

My Opinion

I think that if Qualcomm manages to ban Apple iPhone’s in Germany the Apple company will lose half of its reputation and plus I don’t think Qualcomm should go against Apple and according to the news there aren’t any reasons of why Qualcomm is going against that.

Thanks for reading my today’s Blog! ✨✨🎇🎇

Brightest comet of the year can be seen as it fly’s past Earth. Be Ready!

Brightest comet of the year

Comet 46P/Wirtanen, first found in 1948, will have its closest involvement with Earth on Dec.16. Regardless, it’s already visible in the sky.

• Though this is the Brightest Comet of the year  and the 10th closest comet in current occasions, try not to expect one with an all around characterized tail, a sign of comets.

        Wirtanen

• Wirtanen will probably light up as it makes its nearest way to approach with the sun on Dec. 12.
• Wirtanen — a little comet at simply 1.2 kilometers in distance across — it’s a fluffy, somewhat blue question in the southern sky.

        Comets

• Comets, frequently alluded to as “dirty snowballs,” are leftover collections of dust, gas and ice from the arrangement of our nearby planetary group. Most are from regions — the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud.
• A comet’s brightness depends upon its size and how much ice and gas it contains.

        Where to look

•   The brightest of divine items is on a scale that goes from the extremely most brightest — the sun — to the dimmest. What’s more, it doesn’t go toward the path you’d think: the lower the number (negative qualities) the more splendid the question.

Mechanica

Have you ever heard about the Book Mechanica?

Well If you didn’t hear about the book don’t worry because in this Blog I will be writing a summary of the Book. So …

The Author

The author of this book is Betsy Cornwell and she grew up in the wilds of rural New Hampshire and  was born on  July 7, 1988. She graduated from Smith College in the year  2010. Then she received her MFA in creative writing from the University of Notre Dame in the year  2012. After she was graduated she settled in ireland to live there.She then taught fiction writing and film & television studies at Notre Dame. She know teaches creative and critical writing at the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth summer program, as well as working as a private tutor. She enjoys Traveling for sure.

 Summary of the Book

So it starts off that Mecanica  is an inventor in the positive side. So the story begins when Mecanica reveals the past so its starts by  a ( the royal ) Queen of the town who dies from a illness and soon that illness goes to Mecanicas Mother. Both her parents used to discuss about various stuff like how to raise their child and so basically  they had lots of fights. Her mother soon died when Mecanica was 9. Then her Father married another women that will me evil to Mecanica in this Book. And soon when Mecanicas father dies, the Stepsisters and their Mother  turn Mecanica into a servant. Her mother was an unique inventor, teaching her daughter all she could before receiving the strange illness. With both her mother and father now dead, Mecanica is left behind to a life of servitude. But on her 16th birthday she discovers her mothers hidden workshop, and meets a tiny metal horse ( Jules) who shows her that she may be able to have a different life ; a life as an inventor and creator of her own choices. But soon when the her stepsister  discover her inventions, they decide to destroy them,  and so they also smash the tiny metal horse ( Jules) to pieces. As a inventor she soon finds her prince with I won’t mention who it is but  she realizes she doesn’t want a fairy tale ending.

“Combines a feminist Cinderella story with a beautiful steampunk world . . .This is a tale about Girl being her own fairy godmother, and the heights to which she can ascend because of it.” —Hypable

 Main Characters:

• Mecanica,Caroline and Fin.

1. Mecanica is the main Character in this book.
2. Caro(Caroline) is a Friend of Finn and Mechanica and this particular Character works in the Castle and lives there as a Prince and soon helps Mecanica in her inventions .
3. Fin is a Prince as well and he meets Caro and both became very near by friends.Then he meets Mecanica and falls in faith with her.

How they all met

So how they all met was that Mecanice went to the market to try to sell her things and so she met  Caro (short for Caroline) and Fin. Then they all related to each others faces and from one conversation they all soon became Friends . The author wa trying to  build up the readers expectations in one path,so the reader has a excitement yet again. Mechanica has a amount of concern for Caro but the way she has trust for Fin is not describable . In the end, the author explores the nature of love, friendship for all these 3 characters.  

Other then that, I  recommend this Book to anyone who loves fantasy’s, Fairy Tales  and anyone with a rebel heart. 

This book though ends happily there is  no guarantee it will last forever.

 

 

MAKE YOUR OWN ROCK CANDY!

How to make your own rock candy?

EASY WAY!

      What’s the definition of a Rock candy?

Rock candy is sugar crystallized in large masses onto a string or stick, eaten as           candy.

        You will need:

• A wooden skewer (you can also use a clean wooden chopstick)
• A clothespin
• 1 cup of water
• 2-3 cups of sugar
• A tall narrow glass or jar

               What you do:

1. Clip the wooden skewer into the clothespin so that it hangs down inside the glass and is about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the bottom of the glass.
2. Remove the skewer and clothespin and put them aside for now.
3. Get a helpful elder!
4. Pour the water into a pan and bring it to boil.
5. Pour about 1/4 cup of sugar into the boiling water, stirring until it dissolves.
6. Continue including increasingly sugar, each time mixing it until the point when it breaks down, until the point when no more will disintegrate. This will require significant investment and persistence and it will take more time for the sugar to break down each time. Be beyond any doubt you don’t surrender too early. When no more sugar will disintegrate, expel it from warmth and enable it to cool for somewhere around 20 minutes.
7. Have your elder carefully pour the sugar solution into the jar almost to the top. Then submerge the skewer back into the glass making sure that it is hanging straight down the middle without touching the sides.
8. Enable the container to completely cool and put it somewhere where it won’t be exasperates.
9. Presently simply pause. The sugar precious stones will develop throughout the following 3-7 days.

• Want colored rock candy?

• Add food coloring to your sugar water and ensure beyond any doubt that it is entirely dim in shading for the best outcome.

NOTE: While it is cooling, a few people like to plunge half of the stick in the sugar arrangement and afterward move it in some sugar to enable hop to begin the precious stone development. In the event that you do this, make certain to give the stick a chance to cool totally with the goal that sugar gems don’t tumble off when you put it back in the glass.

Jupiter’s moon Europa could support alien life, according to Scientists

A moon(Europa) in our own solar system might support life, according to scientists.

 Europa

Somewhat littler than Earth’s Moon, Europa’s water-ice surface is befuddled by long, straight cracks. Like our planet, Europa is thought to have an iron center, a rough mantle and a sea of salty water. In contrast to Earth, in any case, Europa’s sea lies underneath a shell of ice likely 10 to 15 miles (15 to 25 kilometers) thick and has an expected profundity of 40 to 100 miles (60 to 150 kilometers).  Credit

Could there be life on Jupiter’s moon Europa?

Europa is the fourth largest moon of Jupiter. Scientists think that life may exist on Europa because there is evidence that fluid water may exist underneath its frigid surface. Europa is pushed and pulled by the high gravity of Jupiter and additionally by the gravity of Jupiter’s different moons. This influences Europa to extend and contract and it makes it warm up and this warmth may make a portion of Europa’s cold covering melt under the surface. In this way, there might be lakes and seas of fluid water on Europa.Water is a major requirement for life. On the off chance that there is fluid water on Europa, there might be life.

Credit

“If indeed there’s life in that ocean, subduction offers a way to supply the nutrients it would need,” said Brandon Johnson.

“Adding salt to an ice slab would be like adding little weights to it because salt is denser than ice,” said Professor Johnson. “So rather than temperature, we show that differences in the salt content of the ice could enable subduction to happen on Europa.”

 

    Proof

Researchers say they have discovered that there are sliding structural plates underneath the moon’s ice shell. The nearness of such movement could have essential ramifications for the likelihood of life in the ocean that researchers believe is stowing away underneath the outside layer that covers it. That covering seems to contain inside it oxidants and other synthetic nourishment that can bolster life.

My opinion/Respond

Well I think that there is some sort of life out there in Europa. In general I think that space is huge and there will be lots of living organisms out there. However,  they are yet to discover. I’m not really sure if aliens exist.

Today’s questions for you:

1. Do you think aliens exist in general?
2. Do you believe that their is life in Europa? If your answer is yes: include some of the living species you believe would exist in Europa.

 

 

 

 

How do you make slime ?

Slime

There are various types of slimes that you may or may not know about. They could be in different Colors,styles,textures,structures,,etc. Slime is a moist, soft, and slippery substance, typically regarded as repulsive.

My opinion about slime is ….

I used to love slime especially in grade 6. I used to make it every-other second while my mom used to tell me to stop . She hates that type of sticky and slippery substance. Now I’m not that as a big fan of slime because now I get to much homework and I’m to busy in other stuff.

How do you make slime

You could make slime in different ways and ingredients but today we are going to tell you one way but there is a Video down below that will tell you about beginner DIY slime tutorial.

So to make your own slime you will need :
-Water 1/tsp
-White glue (depends on how much slime you want to make )
– 1 Food color (optional)
-liquid detergent (I would recommend the Tide detergent)
-A bowl (to make your slime in )
-A thing to mix your slime (substance) with .

Lets begin !

What You have to do:
In one bowl mix 1 oz. glue (about ¼ of the glue bottle) and ¼ cup water. If you want colored slime, add food coloring to the glue and water mixture. Lift some of the solution out of the container with the stir stick and note what happens.
Add ¼ cup of Sodium Tetraborate (Borax) Solution to the glue and water mixture and stir slowly.
The slime will begin to form immediately. Lift some of the solution with the stir stick and observe how the consistency has changed from Step 1.
Stir as much as you can, then dig in and knead it with your hands until it gets less sticky. This is a messy experience but is necessary because it
allows the two compounds to bond completely. Don’t worry about any
leftover water in the bowl; just pour it out.
When not in use, store the slime in a plastic bag in the fridge to keep it
from growing mold.

Now you could enjoy your slime !

Education is a big topic. Everyone doesn’t have an educational Background because of personal affairs. Researchers are commonly thinking about improving it but most likely other poor countries can’t afford that. So those other country are forced to reject the common improvement.

Education

.Everyone needs an educational background to learn rules and aspects in this current world. Most women don’t have Education according to the researchers because Women are found to be at home while man are supposed to be educated to have a Particular job. Education is a weapon you could use to change this world. There are many reasons why there is less education around some countries. Most of them may be because of parents discussions, early marriage, or they’re just too poor to afford it. 

 Short Information 

In 1821, Boston started the first public high school in the United States. After many years in 1877, the first act of parliament education was passed for primary education. Only till age 14. The original department of education was created in 1867. Education helps you build opinions and point of view in life. Education is essential for each individual to lead us a better future.

Education affects language.

Education affects language because there is a typical way your educated. Many people speak too much from their educated language at school rather than their home language while others do the opposite. It depends on what you learn if you were educated by a different language rather than your home language you may forget your 1st language or your 2nd language. I had an experience of it because before I came to Canada I lived in Germany for about 10 years but then when I moved to Canada I started to learn more and more English and now I don’t remember much of German. So Educational background is related to language because it depends on where you learn your language from, how, when,etc.

Now there are apps and there is this one app with includes teaching more education that is called ” getapp.com “.
