AWS Summit 2018 - Awesome Experience

On Thursday, the 10th of May, I was invited to AWS Summit, as a member of Coolest Projects team. It was an early start, I woke up at 5 O'Clock. It was sunny but cold and although the journey was very long, I was still enthusiastic about the day.
                                     


 When we reached ExCel London, we saw huge queues, but we were escorted as VIP guests by a nice AWS lady to the registration desk, where we were given our badges with our names on it.
                                 
We were then greeted by AWS Ninja. I had my picture taken with him.




 All the Coolest Projects were allocated to a special place called the "Builders Fair".

                                     


Within the Builders Fair, there was a description of our projects and the place to set up. At the beginning of the summit, we had some Internet connection problem, but skilled AWS people quickly solved our problem.
                                 
                   

My project was called " Robotic Pet", that can be controlled using ' Alexa Voice Interface'. There were two other Coolest Projects team members who were also there, with their projects. One was a gardening project, that checks water levels in the soil and the other was an interactive quiz website.

 I gave the demonstration of my project, to lots of technical people, which was a really very good experience.
                   

 AWS Social media team came to interview about my project, which was really exciting. Which they afterward posted on Twitter.




There were many stalls with AWS developers, designers and architects present, who are there to help people in solving their problems and suggesting things to make the website better. There were also many companies participating and showcasing their products in the summit, like virtual driving and coffee leaderboard using, "Deep Lens technology". And they were also giving out few souvenirs.
 I have got some souvenirs as well. Lots of other activities were also going on like interactive sessions, certifications and many more.

Towards the end, the AWS Head of Marketing came to meet all of us. She asked me to show her my project. That was an awesome experience.

        




  It was tiring but a really exciting day for me, as I have met so many cool people.

Facts About Thames Barrier

                                    The Thames Barrier which was built in 1984, protects Central London from tidal surges in the North Sea.                                                         It protects 125 sq km or 48 sqm of Central London. The Thames barrier was built, because of the Thames flood in 1928. The Thames river flooding destroyed lots of properties and 14 people lost their lives in the flood. So, the Environmental Agency came up with the idea of the Thames Barrier and its construction started in 1974. It is predicted that even with heavy rainfall and rising tides due to climate change it will still be able to protect London from flooding until 2070. There are three positions of the Thames Barrier to let the river water flow in a controlled amount.                                         1- The "Underspill position", of the barrier allows a controlled amount of water to go under the barrier, this position is used when tides get too

Lunar Eclipse 2018 - Fun Facts

On 27  July 2018, there will be a longest total lunar eclipse ,  during which  the moon appear a lot bigger and also red.And the eclipse can be seen for the whole one hour.                                                 So ,what causes  the moon to turn red?.This question baffled scientists for many years , but with new technology, it has been discovered that the moon turns red , when the earth blocks the light coming from the sun to the moon , it casts two shadows called the penumbra and umbra shadow .                                                                                                                                   The penumbra gives of a blue light that deflects the red colour to the umbra which is the darkest shadow , since no light gets to moon , the deflected red colour cast a red colour on the moon. If the moon keeps on going round and round the earth then we should get a lunar eclipse every month.Instead , we get a lunar eclipse once every year.Why
