Dance of the Circle of Fate
Life is a weaving of light and shadow spinning in an eternal circle, where every grain of experience becomes a gem adorning the soul’s garment on its journey toward silence.

Good Morning Peeps and have fun in the HSN Community. 😎🎈

GET TO KNOW YOUR CUSTOMERS DAY

Get to Know Your Customers Day reminds businesses to reach out to patrons and get to know them better. The day is observed annually on the third Thursday of each quarter (January, April, July, October).

When businesses get to know their customers, they also get to know more about what they need to grow. Remember when Main Street businesses were locally owned and operated? The owners knew you by name and knew your shopping habits. Additionally, they typically knew what you wanted to buy. Not surprisingly, they were willing to get it in for you if they didn’t have it.

NATIONAL PERSONAL CHEF DAY

Each year on July 16, National Personal Chef Day recognizes the dedication, skill, and hard work of personal chefs across the United States.

NATIONAL AI DAY

Today is July 16 on the National Day Calendar and we are acknowledging the remarkable progress and pervasive influence of Artificial Intelligence on National AI Day. Join the conversation about the responsible integration of AI in society.

Artificial Intelligence has been around longer than people realize. In fact, the idea of AI started in 1950 when Alan Turing published “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” and presented the question of whether a machine could “think for itself.” In 1951, Marvin Minsky and Dean Edmonds created one of the first artificial neural networks (SNARC). By 1952, Arthur Samuel developed a checkers-playing program that could learn from its own experience, proving that machines could learn from their mistakes.

John McCarthy coined the term “artificial intelligence” in 1956 while at the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence. John, along with several other researchers interested in the project, gathered to create systems that could mimic the thought process of humans, including solving problems and improving learning. The research project brought some of the brightest minds in computing and cognitive science at the time.
