Summer is almost here, and with it comes vacations and long periods away from home. Security cameras are a great way to keep your mind at ease so we're excited to see Amazon's Blink Mini two-pack on sale for an all-time low price. The pair are currently just 30, down from 50 -- a 40 percent discount. The pair are 40 percent off right now. The Blink Mini might no longer be the most recent model, thanks to Amazon's recent release of the Blink Mini 2, but it's still an excellent option for monitoring your home.

The Blink Mini 2 home security camera was only announced a month ago, and it's already on sale. The camera is 25 percent off in both colors -- black and white -- in a deal on Amazon, bringing the already budget-friendly system down to just 30. The Blink Mini 2 can be used indoors or outdoors, offers HD footage in the daytime or at night and has an LED spotlight. It can be paired with one of Amazon's smart displays for Alexa voice controls. The camera is a plug-in device, though, so you'll need to place it somewhere with an outlet.

New research by Exasol has revealed that only 30% of organisations have invested in on-demand cloud processing to grow their artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning capabilities. The'Driving the Rise of AI and ML with Data' report, conducted by research firm Vanson Bourne, found that 48% organisations now regard machine learning as very important in the near future, with artificial intelligence close behind. Applying predictive analytics, which relies upon machine learning to mine large datasets and predict the outcome of future events, was the main motivation with 64% of organisations regarding it as important. Despite this immediate focus on improving machine learning and AI capabilities, the research suggests organisations are stockpiling data, but are unprepared for the data processing required. Mathias Golombek, chief technology officer at Exasol commented, "I'm surprised that so few businesses have applied cloud infrastructure to machine learning and AI given its importance for enabling these techniques. It appears that many organisations are approaching data investment backwards and investing in the cloud for passive data services, when they could already be harnessing that scalable processing power to derive value from their data with machine learning."

But before we look at the code, let's go through the very basics of neural networks. The first building block of a neural network is, well, neurons. A neuron is like a function, it takes a few inputs and returns an output. There are many different types of neurons. Our network is going to use sigmoid neurons, which take any given number and squash it to a value between 0 and 1. The circle below illustrates a sigmoid neuron.
