Do you have an area of your home where you’d like to have greater control with the lighting? It could be a work area, study area, the kitchen, your bedside, etc. This Amazon Echo Show 8 2nd Gen and Philips Hue Smart Color Bulb Bundle allows you to take control. The mid-range smart speaker has a screen that allows you to control the light bulb and other smart home devices in your home, as well as see images, videos, video calls, and footage from a connected security camera. Do all that for 66% off.

The 8″ HD screen with stereo sound will connect Alexa with video calling and messaging. You can place a video call to others who have an Echo device with a screen or just have the Amazon Alexa app. Announcements can be made to other Alexa devices throughout your home as well.

You’re in no way limited to communication with this device, as you can also watch TV shows, movies, and the news. Also, listen to radio stations, podcasts, and audiobooks. Display your photos, too, to use this Echo as a pseudo screensaver.

Of course, the Amazon Echo Show 8 works well to control the Color Ambiance A19 Medium Lumen Smart Bulb, 75 Lumen. Install the bulb anywhere, and use Amazon Alexa hands-free control to set the mood. Direct Alexa to dim the lights or make them brighter. Turn them on or off as you enter a room or leave your home. Add more bulbs around your house to control even more lighting.

Of course, the Echo device works with all your smart home devices. You can adjust the thermostat, and see who’s on your doorstep – whether it’s a friendly face, another Amazon delivery, or a solicitor you wish to dismiss quickly – saving you from a trip to the door.

Don’t worry about security and privacy, either, as you can turn off the microphones by tapping a button and close the built-in shutter to cover the camera. It can stand on its own or sit on an adjustable stand as well (sold separately).

Save 66% and get this Echo Show in Charcoal or Glacier White along with the smart light bulb for just $61.98.

Mycorrhizal fungi colonised plant roots roughly 450 million years ago and biologists now suspect plants could never have moved out of the oceans onto bare rock without them, meaning every forest on Earth — including the redwoods, the Amazon, and the boreal belt — is still running on a partnership older than trees themselves

Suzanne Simard sealed paper birch and Douglas fir seedlings inside plastic bags, fed them carbon-14 and carbon-13 dioxide, and nine days later found carbon had crossed between species through fungal threads in the British Columbia soil beneath her boots

A species of jellyfish called Turritopsis dohrnii can revert its adult cells back to a juvenile polyp stage when injured or starving, effectively restarting its life cycle, and biologists have so far failed to identify any natural limit to how many times it can do this.
French scientist Michel Siffre spent two months alone in a cave with no clock, no calendar, and no sunlight — and when his team finally told him the experiment was over, he thought he still had nearly a month left underground
When Cingular chief Stan Sigman backed the original iPhone before its 2007 unveiling, he accepted terms American carriers usually refused: no logo on the device, no control over its software, no preloaded apps, and a share of monthly subscriber revenue flowing back to Apple, after signing on without seeing a prototype
In 2016, archaeologists dated two rings of snapped stalagmites in France’s Bruniquel Cave to 176,500 years ago, evidence that Neanderthals had walked 336 metres into darkness with fire and built architecture deep underground long before modern humans reached Europe
Otto von Bismarck was 74 when Germany adopted the world’s first national old-age social insurance program in 1889, setting the pension age at 70 after years of fighting socialists with bans, laws, and a promise few workers would live long enough to use
When cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov stepped out of his Soyuz capsule in March 1995 after 437 consecutive days aboard Mir, doctors recorded him at several centimetres above his pre-flight height, and his spine had become so unaccustomed to gravity that the recovery team carried him to a chair rather than risk the compression of letting him walk.
