Budget 2019 : Like every year, the CES 2019 too witnessed a number of interesting innovations one of them being an AI-powered robot called Kiki. Kiki looks like Eva from the movie Wall-E and has cat ears. The robot is powered by artificial intelligence, which basically means it learns human behaviour over time to respond to situations.

Depending on your body language, the robot is also capable of identifying if you are upset and will cheer you up by singing or dancing . Even as it is a smart pet, Kiki needs to be fed. Well, almost virtually. When owners are done petting or scratching it, they need to draw common food items, which it recognises through a connected app. Interim Budget 2019

Budget 2019 : Using Oral-B Glide dental floss could contribute to elevated levels of toxic chemicals that can lead to health problems, especially in women, including kidney and testicular cancer, high cholesterol, low birth weight, among others, says a study led by US-based Silent Spring Institute. In the study, the team measured the presence of 11 different PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) -- water- and grease-proof substances -- in blood samples of 178 middle-aged women. The findings, appearing in the Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology (JESEE), showed that women who flossed with Oral-B Glide tended to have higher levels of a type of PFAS called PFHxS (perfluorohexanesulfonic acid) in their body compared with those who did not. "This is the first study to show that using dental floss containing PFAS is associated with a higher body burden of these toxic chemicals," said lead author Katie Boronow, a scientist at the institute...
