10:08


Amazon Alexa the virtual assistant developed by Amazon Lab126 in November 2014, to make our gadget (almost) hands-free. This gadget is capable of voice interaction, making a to-do list, music playback, making calls, playing audiobooks, providing weather information, sports scores and real-time news. Alexa initially used in Amazon Echo and Amazon Echo Dot was later used as a companion app in Google Play and Amazon app store. Amazon has now rolled out this huge new update for iPhone users. iPhone users already having Siri - the inbuilt Apple assistant and the Google assistant gets yet another helping hand. Most devices with Alexa allows users to activate using the wake-up word as in Amazon echo: while in other devices, it requires a tap on the app to activate it, making it almost hands-free. Presently, interaction and communication with Alexa are only available in languages like English, German, French and Japanese.
Alexa, Siri and Google assistant though similar with their origin of being voice assistants they are quite different from each other. This initiative of Alexa in an iOS device has been in pipeline for a very long time, was introduced in March 2017. Unlike Android, Apples' system is quite locked down, that means Alexa cannot be used as a replacement for Siri i.e. keeping the wakeup words for Apple's own voice assistant Siri. Each of these voice assistants has their own set of advantages and disadvantages but Alexa has stood as a quite a competition for Siri. Accumulation of voice control to the Alexa app on iOS is a portion of Amazon's goal of making its virtual assistant available in most devices. To access this new voice control features the iPhone users need to download the latest version (2.2.216514.0) from the Apple App Store. Alexa already a huge success in Google Play Store with a download of 10 million, we are yet to see the response of users to this new voice assistant of Amazon in iOS.

Blood Moon 2018 prediction: What is the Blood Moon prescience and will the world end?

10:07


The Blood Moon prophecy implies to uncover concealed messages in the Christian Bible about the last days drawing closer.
One month from now on July 27 the Blood Moon will crest in the night skies amid the July add up to the lunar shroud. The cosmic occasion denotes the second aggregate lunar shroud and Blood Moon of the year.
The last Blood Moon showed up in the skies on January 31 amid the uncommon Super Blue Blood Moon display. Some Christian connivance scholars who acutely watched the moon traverse the night sky asserted the Blood Moon prediction was being satisfied.
The prophetically calamitous prescience itself can be followed back to Christian clergymen John Hague and Mark Blitz who guaranteed to have discovered references of a blood moon quadruplicate in the Bible.
A tetrad is a progression of four back to back lunar shrouds which probably started in the year 2014. The principal obscure in the forecasted quadruplicate occurred on April 15, 2014, and was trailed by Blood Moons on October 8, 2014, April 4, 2015, and September 28, 2015.
As indicated by the End Time Ministries, a Christian gathering lecturing the last days gospel, various predictions in the Bible anticipate the moon will turn dark red toward the apocalypse. For example, Joel 2:30-31 states: "And I will demonstrate ponders in the sky and in the earth, blood, and fire, and mainstays of smoke”.
"The sun will be transformed into dimness and the moon into blood, before the immense and the unpleasant day of the LORD come”. The Book of Revelations additionally states 6:12 the moon will turn red: "And I viewed when he had opened the 6th seal, and, lo, there was an extraordinary quake; and the sun ended up dark as sackcloth of hair, and the moon moved toward becoming as blood”.
Irvin Baxter, leader of the End Time Ministries, stated: "The Bible shows that end occasion is coming only in front of us now and that will be the best prophetic satisfaction over the most recent 2,000 years.
Yet, for a great many people in established researchers, the Blood Moon prediction is unverified bunkum. Geoffrey Gaherty, an essayist for Starry Night Education, said he was disheartened by paranoid notions hooking onto stellar displays like the overshadowing.
He stated: "As a vigorous sky watcher who gets much delight from wonderful occasions like lunar obscurations, it disheartens me that there are 'prophets of fate' on the planet who see these life-improving occasions as signs of the debacle”.
What's more, there is no motivation to trust the Blood Moon is a sign from the sky since researchers see extremely well the mechanics behind why the moon turns red amid a shroud. The impact is known as Rayleigh dissipation and the marvel is in charge of painting the skies blue and dusky red. Amid a shroud, the moon will pass straightforwardly behind the sun and Earth to cover up in the planet's shadow. In any case, rather than totally vanishing, certain groups of red daylight will paint the moon a profound copper-like red tone. This happens in light of the fact that daylight twisting around the planet diffuses in the climate and sifts through shades of different wavelengths.
Red is slightest influenced by the disseminating which in turns rolls out the moon improvement shading.

Tesla Says the Alleged Whistleblower to Be Nothing of the Sort

10:07


Tesla has completely refuted the claims, that were made by an ex-employee and whistle blower, who was nothing but a self-proclaimed one, had previously leaked certain information to the press.

A lengthy statement was provided to Ares on Friday through a spokesperson of the company, where the company had totally denied the fact that Martin Tripp, a person on whom the company had filed a case against earlier in the week for allegations over violating trade secrets, had any noble intentions.

The company even stated that Martin Tripp was someone, who had stolen data of the company a subtle manner and got those data transferred to third parties, who were completely unknown. All of these things were done while making up false claims about the organization so that he could cause harm to it.

In the lawsuit filed against him by the company, Tesla had accused Martin Tripp of hacking systems of the organization, which was categorically denied by Tripp.

Tripp had told Ares on Thursday that he wanted to disclose the safety loopholes and internal waste in the batteries made by Tesla, which he claimed to have observed when he had worked as a technician at the organization’s Gig factory in Sparks, which is in Nevada.

Tesla CEO, Elon Musk had made an intimation through Twitter that Tripp was one of 40 bad apples, who had sabotaged against the organization in an effort to apparently prevent the ambitions of Tesla from being realized. Tesla aims to ramp up production wherein they could produce 5000 Model 3s every week.

The statement on Friday had gone on to say that Tripp had made an exaggeration of the level of waste, which he claimed to have observed while being at the Gig factory. The amount mentioned by Tripp was of $150 million scraps at the Gig factory in 2018, which happened to be way overboard.

The company had even ridiculed Tripp’s claims about the company reporting wrong production number of Model 3s. They were of the opinion that either Tripp was not telling the truth or he had no idea of what he was talking about.
