What Are the Benefits of Breastfeeding?

Are you considering breastfeeding? Have you thought about it, but was still unsure? Know that breastfeeding can be as beneficial to you as it can be to your child.

Did You Know?. . .

 Note: Not everyone wants to breastfeed. Not everyone is capable of breastfeeding for various reasons, but if you are able to you may find that this is one of the most rewarding experience in your life. Also, this is a win/win situation, because there are benefits for both you and your baby. God has built our bodies for this wonderful experience. Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

Natural Bond and Healthy Start

1. Antibodies and the Immune System

I did not breast feed my first child because I did not have enough support. When it came to my 2^nd and 3^rd child my husband and father gave me full support. For some reason most of the women in my family were against it. They claimed it was old- fashion. They made it appear shameful to me. Now that I did it successfully I am so glad that I did. Also, my daughter had children of her own and successfully breast fed. I was happy about that. I took the La Leche classes.  They helped me a lot considering I knew nothing about breastfeeding. I discovered that breastfeeding was helpful in protecting my babies immune system and that the first few days of breast feeding gave my babies antibodies to protect them.

2. Colostrum

I learned that the first few days of breastfeeding is crucial because that first milk that comes in called colostrum is packed with nutrients and immune-boosting factors that were good for me and for my babies.

With one of my babies the milk came in so fast that night I was very uncomfortable because I was so full. I told the nurse and she said if they had known they would have bought my baby to me to nurse. So I was given the option to have my baby in the room right beside me and told to nurse as often as needed. I was elated about that.

3. Babies Bowel Movements

I also learned that my babies bowel movements seem to have a laxative effect. Usually they would have a movement after I nursed. I also noticed that the bowel movement odor was not nearly as strong as the odor from my baby that I did not nurse. That was my first baby.

4. Eating Order

I also learned that the order that I ate my food was the order that my baby would receive it in the milk. I thought that was very interesting.

5. Learning the Hard Way

I learned that certain foods were considered a  “no-no” to eat because it would affect my baby. Your milk is already like a mild laxative to your child. Chocolate was a “no-no.” I loved chocolate candy and one day forgot. I ate a Hershey Candy Bar. This was a memorable experience I will never forget. As I nursed my baby her bowel movement started coming out of her diaper. It was so much. I will never forget. I thought to myself, “I ate the chocolate Hershey Candy bar. “ I did a lot of cleaning that day because poop was all over my lap. Other foods that can cause baby to be gassy are caffeine, onions, broccoli, beans, cabbage, and cauliflower. That is understandable because to this day broccoli and cauliflower give me gas so I have to avoid them anyway.

6. Digestive System

When I breastfed my babies there were no digestive problems. This makes since because breastfeeding is natural or at least it should be. My first baby which was not breastfeed had constipation problems.

7. Bonding

When nursing your babies there is a bond there that is indescribable. There is a closeness to see your baby looking up into your eyes.

8. Weight

I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancies and my last baby weighed 8 pounds. The doctor was not too concerned because he said I was so little before the pregnancies. After each baby I lost the weight. I know some mothers have not been so lucky, but I do attribute mine to breastfeeding. I learned that breastfeeding shrinks the uterus which is also a big help. The March of Dimes.com talks more about this. I do not recall having any cramps as my uterus shrunk. It did indeed shrink and I returned to my normal weight.

A Few Tips:

A. Water

I remember being encouraged to drink plenty of water, especially before nursing my babies. It is also important to empty one breast before preceding to the other breast.

B. Bonding

This is a great time to bond with your baby when nursing. Talk to your baby. Your baby knows your voice. Your voice is unique to your baby like no other. Father’s are great, but do not have this type of bond. This type of bond with your baby is like no other.

C. Often

Did you know that the more often you breastfeed the more milk you will produce? Yes, isn't it wonderful how unique that God has made out bodies?

D. What About a Breast Pump?

Although I never used one, you may want to consider one if you want to return to work and continue breastfeeding. A breast pump will allow you to store your milk safely in bottles. I recall a coworker of mine did just that. She would store her breast milk in our refrigerator at work and label it. This arrangement seemed to work out perfectly for her. It allowed her to work and allowed her baby to still receive her breast milk.

New Technology Hacks and Tips

 

What the World Needs Now Is Love

 

 

 

Why I Love Blogging

Have you considered blogging? Do you like to write? There are some advantages to blogging.

Blogging might be surprisingly helpful to you.

Did You Know?

***Intentional**

1. Giving Back to Others

Although I originally started blogging because I love writing, I discovered there were other reasons that I blogged. I loved being able to share and give back to others. You never know when one word may help another that might be struggling. Writing can be shared with others all over the world.

2. Learning With Research

When I write and research, I discovered that I am learning along the way. Through research I have learned so much. I discovered that I am ever learning. I learn new information on a daily basis. Technology is growing so fast. I can hardly keep up with it. So blogging is somewhat of a win/win situation. While I give back to others I am learning from others as well.

3. Meeting New People

On my journey of blogging I have met numerous and many new people all over the world. That is one great thing about blogging. Blogging is not just limited to the United States of America. By meeting new people all over the world, I learn about their cultures and much more. It is good to learn how others are surviving and the way that others might be living.

4. Therapeutic

I have mentioned this many times before. Writing is therapeutic. It is good to have good thoughts and ideas in your head, but it is even better when you put your thoughts onto paper. It seems to give it a better meaning. After all someone has said that the brain can only handle one thought at a time, even though many people do several things at one time such as multi-tasking.

5. Blogging Ideas

When I first started blogging I had no clue as to what I wanted to write about or where to start. I have discovered there are so many ideas that you can write about. Possibly you never even thought about them. I remembered I have a friend that said she was a master in gardening. Although to my knowledge she never did write about it, I told her the knowledge that she had for gardening could be exactly what she could write about on a blog. Twinsmommy.com gives numerous ideas to write about such as teens with depression, breastfeeding for new moms, maternity advice, stay-at-home-moms, social media for influencers, meal planning, child hair tutorials, and much more.

Starting a Blog and giving maternity advice would be awesome for a pregnant mommy blogger.  

I really like the hair tutorials because they show step by step the hair process for many hairstyles. Not only that have you ever order a product and the directions were no help for you to put the product together? Well that has happened to me a couple of times. I found tutorials have shown me the one step that I was missing to completion of putting the product together. There are blogging tutorials that have helped many people. What knowledge do you have that could be shown in a blog?

6. Experiences

I know why I started blogging. Have you thought about your experiences? Everyone has some type of experience throughout their lifetime that may have impacted their life. What about writing about it? Even though when I started writing I had no clue as to what to write, it became more evident as time went on I loved writing about family and health. Your failures and your successes might just help another not to fall into that same pitfall in the future going forward.

7. Mentor or Inspirational Person

Have you considered finding a mentor to help you with your start of your blog? I recall after I started blogging I saw several videos of Lisa Irby. She was my inspiration.

How to Create a Website

 

Although I had no intention to make videos she has a vast knowledge regarding blogs and websites. Just watching her videos was encouragement for me. I recall not wanting my picture on my blog. After talking with her she explained that a picture of myself is something people can see and relate to. That made since to me. How many times have you gone to a blog or someone’s profile shows something other than their face. You want to know that that person is real.

8. Business Blogging

Did you know that most businesses have blogs? Did you know that Pinterest and Instagram  have blogs? Here you will find many valuable tips.

Pinterest Business Blog

 

Instagram Blog

 

9. Guest Posts

I have learned oh so much from guest posts that have posted on my blog. The content and value that they can bring is awesome.

10. Your Own Hours

I love blogging because I can set my own hours. I am not limited to a 9-5 job. I can be very flexible.

11. Sharing Your Blog

There are so many avenues and ways to spread the news about your blog. With the internet there is seemingly no end. You may have to experiment to see which social media sites or which linky parties are more beneficial to you. I have found Pinterest, Instagram, and Linkedin to be very good. 

I like that with Pinterest it is an online visual board that you can not only pin posts to but can pin videos there as well. I have started doing videos along with pictures for my Redbubble business. I also like that I can post my Redbubble business on my blog as well. So that is another win/win situation. Over the years my Pinterest presence has grown. Just remember everything takes times. I have recently become more involved with Instagram. You know there is a saying, “don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” That is very true. Once you have started your blog hopefully you will continue to grow and learn new tips and techniques along the way. I know that I certainly have. I am also so grateful for the people that I have met along the way. They have helped me and even at times promoted my blog which was a very big plus for me. So if you have not started your blog or website why not start today?

9 Lessons Learned

 

Excellent Ideas For Better Sleep

 

Why Is Gelatin Good for You?

  

 

 

Does Your Body Rejuvenate Itself?

Have you ever asked the question, “Does the body repair itself?” Are you aware the important part that cells play in your body. God has made our bodies so that they are wonderfully made, but do you take care of your body?

Stem Cells

***Good News***

1. Your Body

Did you know that in 365 days, over 90% of your body’s cells are replaced with new ones. According to eatnauralheave.com. They further state that billions of cells are replaced every single day. Now that is a lot of cells.

2. Human Tissue

En.wikipedia.org., has stated that the body regenerates a full bone within ten years, while non-injured skin tissue is regenerated within two weeks.

3. Stem Cells

I personally know of stem cells that have been used with Cancer Patients. In some cases the stem cells which can regenerate damaged tissue are taken from the patient before Chemotherapy and can be used if needed when the Chemotherapy is completed to help regenerate certain tissue cells in that patient. I also know of stem cell therapy that is being used for hip and knee replacements. The great thing about this is the stem cells are taken from the person that needs the hip or knee replacement and inserted into the bone as oppose to replacing the joint. Isn’t this amazing? Stem Cells can be taken from your own body to heal another part of your body.

According to Medicalnewstoday.com stem cells can be used to grow a new kidney as opposed to waiting for a kidney donor, stem cells could treat brain diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s by replenishing the damaged brain tissue, and stem cells could be used to treat diseases such a leukemia or sickle cell anemia.

Who would have ever imagined that cells taken from your body could help repair or heal another part of your body? 2 Peter 1:3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, though the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.

4. How Long Your Cells Lives

I have never given any thought until now how long cells in my body live. Did you know that brain cells last 200 plus years, eye lens cells, last a lifetime, egg cells last 50 years, heart muscle cells last 40 years, intestinal cells (excluding lining) 15.9 years, skeletal muscle cells 1-15 years, fat cells 8 years, Hematopoietic stem cells – 5 years, liver cells 10-16 months, and Pancreas cells 1 year? Sciencefocus.com talks about this. The further added that cells on the surface of our bodies or in the lining of our gut are sloughed off and discarded, those inside our bodies are scavenged by phagocytes-while blood cells that ingest other cells, and the energy from the dead cells is partly recycled to make other white cells. Really. This sounds like our bodies are “a lean green machine. “ Again, the human body is wondrously made. How awesome.

5. What Parts of the Body Heal Faster?

Even though we are wondrously made, we are all still unique and different. Have you noticed that some heal faster than others? I recall when my husband was in the hospital. After major surgery they had him up walking the next day. Even more surprisingly after he started walking the nurse said he was walking so fast she could not keep up with him. They were amazed. So was I. His recovery was swift, even though he was still in some discomfort and pain and he complained that I hit every bump in the road while in the car as we traveled home. I also observed that when my husband had a tooth pulled there was very little blood and he did not need a lot of pain pills. Now when I had a tooth pulled I bled a lot and took many pain pills. Humans are unique and different. Now according to OrthoBethesda.com you can expect the mouth and tongue, fingers, upper torso and face to have speedier healing times. They further add that feet, legs, and knees, wrists, hips, elbows may be noticeably slower.

6. Where are Stem Cells Found?

Are you aware that embryonic stem cells can be found in the cord and in the tissue, stem cells can be found in the placental tissue, in bone marrow, peripheral blood, in fat, and in dental pulp. Cryo-cell.com talks about this. They further add that Dental Pulp is a new discovery and could hold future potential for heart and kidney disease.

7. Organs Your Body Can Live Without

Even though your body can rejuvenate itself, there are certain organs that you can live without. You can live without a spleen because the liver plays a role in recycling red blood cells and their components. You can live without a stomach because when it is removed the surgeon attaches the esophagus (gullet) directly to the small intestines. You can live without a reproductive system and a colon. Most people have two kidneys, but can survive with just one. This is all according to conversation.com.

There have been numerous cases where a relative or stranger that was a match may have donated their kidney to someone in need. Do you know of any cases like that? I personally know of those that have had gallstones removed and had the gallbladder removed at the same time, as the surgeon stated the gallbladder was not needed. I recall a relative having gallstones removed. The surgeon stated there were well over 100 gallstones. He added he had never seen that many in a patient. How many of you have had your appendix removed possibly because it burst? Possibly you know of someone that has had theirs removed. Again, I say the body is wondrously made. Do you agree?

What is Voter Suppression?

Did you know that there was a time certain people were not allowed to vote? Have you heard some say that their vote does not matter? Do you believe that? Voting is a privilege. Will you take advantage of voting in the Primary Elections, Tuesday, August 5?

Think About This. . .

***Intentional***

1. Did You Know?

Did you know that in December 6, 1865 the 13^th Amendment ended slavery within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction, in July 9, 1868 the 14^th Amendment extended citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and in February 3, 1870 the 15^th Amendment prohibited states from taking away the right to vote on account of race, color, or previous conditions of servitude? This is talked about at cnn.com. They further added that around the 20^th century, Southern lawmakers aware that they could not explicitly disenfranchise Black voters, began to impose an elaborate mix of other things, registration requirement, poll taxes, and literacy tests.

2. Jim Crow Era

In 1890 a new constitution was adopted at the Mississippi State Convention, this included a literacy test and poll tax for eligible voters; by 1910 registered voters among African Americans dropped to 15 percent in Virginia. According to History.com literacy tests was one of the most effective tools at suppressing the African American vote. They further added that poll taxes which were $1 to $2 disproportionately impacted Black registered voters and Georgia in 1877 required all citizens to pay back taxes before being permitted to vote.

3. Mail -In Ballots

A study done by social scientists Kevin Morris, Cory Grange, political scientist at Barnard College and Tennessee State University found a Texas law made it much harder to vote my mail according the brennancenter.org. They also added that the state rejected thousands of mail ballot requests and mail-in votes during the 2022 primary election disproportionately those of nonwhite voters.

4. More Voter Suppression

Various tactics for voter suppression include purging voter roles, weaponizing false narratives about voter fraud, lack of adequate polling places, excluding formerly incarcerated people, ignoring language barriers, and misinformation and disinformation. This is according to learningforjustice.org.

5. Restrictive Voting Bills

Did you know that restrictive voting bills are constantly being introduced? Prismreports.org., talks about Florida introducing a bill to create an Office of Election Crimes and Security within the Department of State. This bill would make it a felony for anyone to distribute, order, request, collect, deliver, or possess more than two vote-by mail ballots. They further added that in a bill that was introduced in January that would establish criminal penalties for anyone other than an election official who fills out any section of the voter registration form without the voter’s consent.

6. Ai (Artificial Intelligence) Used to deter Voters

Did you know that Ai(Artificial Intelligence) is being used to defer voters. Wcvb.com stated that in the previous election day in Boston there was a growing concern that artificial intelligence was being used to spread disinformation-lies- to cast doubt on the election process or influence the outcome.

7. Voter suppression in 2025

Did you know that several proposals in project 2025 could affect voter turnout?

 They are as follows:

a. The SAVE (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility) Act would require individuals to provide documentary proof of United States citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

b. Criminalization of election administration proposes shifting the prosecution of election-related offenses from the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division to the Criminal Division.

c. Project 2025 impacts the specific demographics specifically aimed to limit the political participation of Black and other marginalized communities.

d. Erosion of trust in elections

e. Weakening the democratic processes

This is talked about at AI (Artificial Intelligence) Overview.

They go on further to talk about Black Codes.

8. Black Codes

Do you know what Black Codes are? These were a set of restrictive laws enacted in the Southern United States after the Civil War (1865-1866) to control the labor and behavior of newly freed African Americans. Some of the key provisions included vagrancy laws, labor contracts, restrictions on movement, limited legal rights, and prohibiting marriage between white and Black people.

9. Decriminalization of Voter’s Assistance

According to Ohiocapital journal.com last year Alabama adopted a law that imposes lengthy prison sentences on paid organizers who help people vote my mail. They further ask the question will Florida judge destroy protections against gerrymandering(the act of politicians manipulating the redrawing of legislative district lines in order to help their friends and hurt their enemies). Governor Ron Desantis urged Republicans in 2022 to adopt new aggressive gerrymanders and this severely curtailed black voting power. Republicans were expected to win 20 of the state’s 28 congressional districts, a four seat increase from the 16 they hold now. This eliminated two of four districts where Black voters had been able to elect the candidate of their choice.

10. Toxic Waste and Voter Suppression

Does toxic waste add to voter suppression? It Might if you live near it. If you notice below according to AI (Artificial Intelligence) overview data indicates that Black Americans are more likely to live near toxic waste sites and industrial facilities compared to white Americans. I also have included sites that are listed in Flint and near Flint, Michigan that have toxic sites as well.

Also note air quality factors into this as well. I recall traveling to Las Vegas by plane for a conference. While I was in Vegas my sinuses were fine. Just as the pilot announced we had crossed Michigan State Lines I had a runny nose immediately. Also another occasion when my husband and I traveled to Florida by car we had no sinus problems while in Florida, but just as we crossed the Ohio State line to Michigan both had runny noses. I would say this is no coincident.

Voter suppression still exists. In 2025 it has taken a different form. It is amazing how people can make some things into law and with other things there is just an amendment to the law and can be taken away at a moment’s notice. It is amazing how swiftly a President can come into law and make laws on executive order. Have you ever asked the question even though something is a law does that make it morally right?

I think about something Joel Osteen said in one of his sermon’s. He talked about being late for an event that he was to speak at. He called them and told them he would be late and was stuck in traffic. To his amazement he said they would send the police to get him. He thought he was going to ride in the police car, but to his amazement the policeman got into his car and was speeding to get him to his destination. He mentioned they were going through red lights and breaking laws, but he was riding with the law. How many laws have been made and people were riding with the law and saying, “this is okay because the law says so?”

This is something to think about.

How is the countries moral compass right now? What do you think?

Tips to Help You Drink More Water

Are you a person that loves to drink water? Possibly you are just the opposite. Do you find it difficult to drink enough water throughout the day? Here are a few tips to help with that.

Think About This. . .

***Intentional***

1. Coffee

Are you an avid coffee drinker? Possibly you might want to consider replacing a cup of coffee with a cup or bottle of water. You probably say that is easier said than done. If you do not replace the coffee with water you might consider reducing the amount of coffee you are drinking and supplementing with water.

2. Water Habit

Did you know that you can make drinking water a habit? Drinking water is a good habit to have also. The lifesciencesmagazine.com talks about this. They suggest consistently drinking water at regular intervals throughout the day and establishing a routing that becomes second nature.

3. Challenge a Friend

Did you know that when you exercise with a friend that can be fun? How about challenging a friend to drinking more water?  The mayoclinichealthsystem.org., talks about this. They emphasize that this healthy competition between a friend can be good to see who can meet their drinking goals most often. Also, when a friend is involved you are not trying to do this alone. You have someone to support you as well. They also suggest adding fruit to your water such as lemons, limes, cucumber, watermelon, and strawberries.  They  are good for the flavor. I know that I have heard those that say they do not like the flavor of plain water. I always make it a point that whenever I am at a restaurant to request that they add lemons to my water.

4. Benefits of Adding Lemon to Your Water

Did you know there are many benefits to adding lemon to your drinking water? Adding lemons to your drinking water provide you with vitamin C, BI, B5,B2, promote hydration, is an easy alternative to sugary drinks, helps prevent kidney stones, and may aide in digestion. This is according to healthline.com.

5. Why Drink More Water?

Have you ever asked why you need to drink more water? According to Occupational Therapist, Feminine Leadership Coach, water is essential for nearly every one of your body systems, water can increase your energy levels, water can help you lose weight, water can give you radiant skin, water can boost your immune system, water can support normal hormone production, and water can keep the bowels regular. She further adds that drinking more water when you have been dehydrated is like pouring water on a desert land and that hydrated soil soaks the water in. This does make since. So if you have a constipation problem you might want to take a look and see if you are drinking enough water. I found that when I started drinking more water my energy level was so much higher. So I can attest to the benefits of drinking enough water. Also, keep in mind that the body changes on a daily basis.

Speaking of hydration, I have had relatives complain of stomach pain. After they visited the Emergency Room in the hospital it was discovered that they were dehydrated. Dehydration is a serious problem and should not be taken lightly.

6. Drink More Water to Lose Weight

Did you know that by drinking more water it can help you lose weight? Have you ever heard of lipolysis? This is the process by which our bodies burn fat naturally and convert it into energy and the first step in that process is called hydrolysis. Momtask.com talks about this. When the body adds water to the fat it helps it break the fat down. So increasing your water intake increases the lipolysis in your body, which means you increase your metabolism.

7. Percentage of Water in the Body

Psalm 139:14 I, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Have you ever considered how wonderful the body is made? Medicalnewstoday.com talks about this. Most of the human body is water, with an average of roughly 60%. They further added that the amount of water in the body can change slightly with age, sex, and hydration levels. Water is essential to your well-being.

8. MyFitnessPal App

I truly like my MyfitnessPal App. I have used this now for several years. It tracks my calorie intake, water intake, and exercise. I like that I have a pedometer app on my cellphone that monitors the number of steps I take per day and it is synched in with my MyfitnessPal App. I recall many years ago when I got the pedometer app to monitor my steps, I discovered at my place of employment I would actually walk 2-3 miles while working. You can also set water reminders on your cellphone. There are just numerous ways to remember to drink more water. I have always been petite and after using the app I discovered I really was not eating enough on a daily basis. This was good for me to find out.

9. Eat the Water

You can add to your water intake by eating foods that are high in water content. Foods that contain 90-100% of water include asparagus, baby carrots, broccoli, cabbage, celery, cucumbers, iceberg or romaine lettuce, peppers, skim milk, spinach, strawberries, and my favorite is watermelon and zucchini. This is talked about at health.harvard.edu.

10. Watermelon- My Favorite

Seeded versus seedless watermelon is the question. What is the basic difference. According to Medium.com seedless fruits are not as healthy. They have fewer vitamins and minerals. They also contain less fiber, which means they are digested more quickly by your body. So eating watermelon may be a matter of preference for you. I would get tired of spitting seeds out, but I feel the benefits are important. So I basically look for seeded watermelons. I really like the seeded watermelons that are sold from  trucks in the neighborhoods. They are awesome.

What Is New With AI (Artificial Intelligence)?

AI is growing in leaps and bounds. There is something new to be learned about Ai every minute. Just how much do you know about AI?

Think About This:

***Intentional***

Did You Know. . .

1. Autonomous Vehicles are Here

According to in.element14.com the autonomous driving has increased many folds. They further add that AI can analyze online activity of individuals who search for specific keywords in order to provide a better experience for customers. Have you ever searched for an item online and the later see advertisements on television, advertisements popping up on your cellphone and especially while you are on your social media site?   Did you ever think that this was AI (Artificial Intelligence) at work?

2. Florida is Testing Autonomous Vehicles

Starsky Robotics, a California-based company, has been testing self-driving trucks in Florida, including a 9.4 mile stretch of public highway on the  Florida Turnpike. They further added that the state is actively testing including those related to tolling systems. Have you noticed that there are fewer toll booths? Have you noticed you do not need to save your coins for the toll-fees? That is because there is now in place an electronic signal that takes a picture of your license plate. Do not worry though you will receive a bill in the mail requesting payment for toll-fees.  We have received them. 

3. Chatboxes: are the latest

Techcrunch.com talks about Sam Altman aiming to make ChatGPT(Generalized Pre-trained transformer) more personalized by tracking every aspect of a person’s life. It kind of feels like that is what AI has already been doing. They further added that ChatGPT’s conversational voice mode has been upgraded. Have you thought about that when you are searching with your remote on your television that you use your voice to give the commands to find the program that your desire? Do you talk to SIRI (Apple’s Virtual Assistant)? Do you find it easier or faster to just talk to SIRI as opposed to typing a search into your cellphone? How about when you use your voice? I have noticed when searching using my voice on the television you cannot talk to fast and you must enunciate very well.

4. Facial Recognition is Everywhere

Facebook, Instagram, Tik-Tok, and Google Photos use facial recognition. I know that some healthcare and retail apps use facial recognition as well. Facial recognition has become quite popular in many aspects of our lives.

5. Amazon Launches a new AI Foundation

Amazon has deployed its one millionth robot in its operations, a new generative AI foundation model will improve robot fleet travel efficiency by 10%, technology advances support faster delivery times and lower costs for customers, and over 700,000 employees have been up-skilled through training programs that prepare its workforce for the future. Aboutamazon.com talks about this. They further added that these robots work alongside employees, handling heavy lifting and repetitive tasks while creating new opportunities for our front-line operators to develop technical skills.

6. Why You Should Be Using AI Right Now

According to insidesales.com AI acts as an Assistant for Humans, helps with lead scoring, and is capable of Human-like Interactions, helps with Forecast Prediction. I like that it acts as an assistant for humans, but also hope everyone keeps in mind that it is not human regardless to how human-like it has become. You do not want to stop thinking for yourself. You do not want to just solely rely on AI(Artificial Intelligence)

8. There are Ways to Distinguish AI-Generated Photos

Have you ever thought about whether the photos you look at online are real or AI-generated? According to AI overview there are ways to tell the difference. They suggest focusing on the anatomy for mistakes with proportions, textures may appear unnatural, there may be problems with lighting and shadowing, be sure to examine the backgound, there may be unnatural pixelation, verify the source, and you can consider using AI detection software.

9. AI helped a couple get pregnant

Yes CNN.com talks about a couple trying for 18 years to get pregnant and then AI made it happen using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result, and Reflection) method which uses AI to help identify and recover hidden sperm in men who once thought they had no sperm at all. The sperm was left with researches at the fertility center and the semen sample was analyzed with the AI system. Three hidden sperms were found, recovered, and used to fertilize the wife’s eggs via IVF(in vitro fertilization) and she became the first successful pregnancy enabled by the STAR method. There are more and more ways that are being discovered for the use of AI.

I mentioned in a previous article that I have a robo-vacuum cleaner. I really like it. When an inexpensive robot is manufactured for the household, I might be tempted to purchase one, especially if the robot cleans like my rob-vacuum cleaner. Just think about it. Nearly any and everything is robotic and digital. The idea is growing faster and faster on a daily basis. What is new today will become old and part of the past by tomorrow. People might say they don’t want AI, but it is already on the televisions, in the hospitals, in the doctor’s offices, on our cellphones, in the restaurants, in our cars, and much much more. Ai is definitely here.
