I said they're out of Gatorade, so we literally can't get that. I don't know about the core water. Are you going to go back in the backseat? How many did you get? Oh, I just need one. Okay. Thank you very much, sir. That's the core. Hot fries. You gotta call a customer about the Gatorade right now. If they didn't have any Gatorade, they wanted to substitute it for body armor. If you like to... If you rock for the body armor, comment below and let me know. Proceed to check out. Let's go. We are here to jump off these Walgreens orders. I was just looking in the bag. Comment below and let me know. Are you taking hot fries or flaming hot? Which one do you prefer? Something like this hot? Is that Gatorade? Wow. Nothing on Gatorade. Wow. Let's skip. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Here you go. Thank you. You're welcome.

I turned it over to the boys it sounds you to relax a little bit right before the covid I said hey guys I'm getting ready to retire you know and my money is getting a little old straight off the block so you know what I'm telling you my sister got caught a couple still that's a couple right there straight ahead this is where my godmom used to live at back in the day we'll just leave it at the door they got this hose chained I don't know what I'm supposed to do they got the fence chained gotta do all this now I want taco bell 4 alums 5.4 miles 725 let's drop the taco bell baby watch out for this ice ice baby ice ice drop that for him make it look cute oh snaps we're not messing up wait drop it and just like that it is the end of the video today we only got 147 46 which wasn't the greatest we didn't get our 200 that we wanted to get but honestly it's bigger than the 147 46 first off I want to say thank you for staying to the end of the video also I want to say I appreciate every last one of you who smash the subscribe button I want to say I appreciate every last one of you like button who share the video to their friends on their social media also if you have social media please start sharing the videos on your social media trying to get out there a little bit more I'm also going to be revamping my social media and redoing it all over again because it's time for us to go to the next level in 2022 um today was very interesting I met the previous owner of gestures this is my first time ever in there I don't know why I just I don't know why I have this thing where I just know bosses I just know it just so when I went in there I talked to her the lady and everything and I said I just had a feeling like are you the owner? She said no she's not the owner she used to be the owner 27 years ago and then she handed it down to her nephews because she was planning on retiring but the COVID hit and then she started coming back and helping she was going to move up north from everything north from Wisconsin it was very touching to me when people actually put in the hard work and dedication of doing something and then they can hand it down to someone else in their family that's what it's really all about it's about generational wealth and that's another reason why I really make this youtube channel I know we have fun and all that stuff but it's really more so about this is an investment channel it's about investing in different things and you know motivating people inspiring people and that's what it's really all about it was just very inspiring it's just amazing to me it's really touching to me when people do stuff like that or when they put themselves in a position to do stuff like that so for all of you out there just understand that we only got this one life to live so you got to make your stamp on it you got to stamp it make yourself certified while we're here we got to make stuff the best of the best I want my great great great great grandchildren to ask about me and they can just pull me right up right on youtube that's exactly how I was that's another reason why I made the channel but if you're out there and you're on the grind do not stop do not quit, keep grinding, keep going and the other ones who not really on the grind we only got this one time so you got to make it count and especially if you have kids it's not about you anymore it's about the kids so you need to put yourself in a position to put them in a position to win later on in life that's my motivational talk I also need you guys to comment below and let me know if you want me some more motivational talks and videos and all that stuff cause I can do that too as well and if you don't that's fine, no big deal but I hope you guys enjoyed the video again if you want to subscribe make sure you subscribe button or subscribe, give me a thumbs up even if you're not subscribed give me a thumbs up and do not skip those ads don't miss the video tomorrow cause we back in we're throwing you already knowing it's DDK and I'm on my way


with his smash that broke a scoreless tie last night Anthony Rizzo became the 38th player in Yankees history to go deep in their first game with the club Rizzo is also the sixth to do so since the beginning of the 2016 season and the first since John Carlos Denton went deep twice on opening day of 2018. We head into the cage now where Rizzo is getting ready for tonight's ball game following his debut Rizzo talked about how his goal is to grind out at bats forcing opposing pitchers to work so hard that it makes things easier for his teammates sitting behind him. The Yankees were already among the MLB leaders in pitches seen for at bat before Rizzo and Gallo were brought in so they should be even better in that category moving forward. As we thank you for coming back with us on VPTV Gallo and Rizzo are two of ten all-stars who were moved during the trade deadline season. It was a frenzy around the majors but Brian Cashman made sure the Yankees addressed some needs and after the dust settled yesterday he talked about those big acquisitions. Gallo I've been trying to get for quite some time. I thought we were close in spring training in March to Gallo. It didn't happen and so he's been someone we've been you know checking in on and trying to acquire for quite some time because we thought it'd be a nice fit. You know Rizzo obviously developed here in the more recent circumstances you know so in the last you know week I can't tell you what point I checked in with Jed Hoyer but as we're you know circling through all available players you know clearly we have a position that you know in Luke Voight is was coming back but he's been hurt all year so we just felt this was an opportunity that that made a lot of sense for us and we could make it work if if we found the right player package that we could live with. You know the Cubs obviously you know we're willing to pay the salaries so I see for instance you know you know they paid that's biased down they were going to pay obviously Rizzo down I don't know what they do with Brian going to San Francisco but but that was not going to be an issue and so it just came down to if we could tolerate the the prospect value you know it was something we had to determine whether it was it something that a improved us we felt without a doubt it would and then be even though we have the position filled is that something we should walk away from and the answer was no it was not we were excited to have Rizzo we're sorry about obviously Luke Voight season away it's gone thus far but obviously we have a two month sprint now to try to to push ourselves into the postseason and take a shot at the ultimate prize that we can you know we can do some damage and get back into this thing and I mean we're right there on the brink of a postseason wildcard but you know we got to obviously push through and then and then there's a division that we can try to take a take a shot at if we can get ourselves that in a much better position than we are right now but first things first we just got to win as many big games as we possibly can over the next two months


If you were around in 2005 and you loved Wallace and Grumit like I did, you probably know about the tragedy that struck the company. No, not a death, but a terrible blaze. It ripped through the Victorian warehouse, and nearly everything went up in flames, including all the models from a grand day out, the wrong trousers and more. And animator Nick Park said of the matter, referring to the 2005 Kashmir earthquake. Even though it is a precious and nostalgic collection and valuable to the company, in light of other tragedies, today isn't a big deal. But it was a very big deal indeed to have ever died there. If I understand correctly, the body had been torn into a bunch of separate pieces, none of them really resembling human body parts, and the remains were so thoroughly charred that even the best analysis couldn't reliably confirm it was human. Everyone who should have been in the warehouse, animators, cleaning staff, etc., was still alive, meaning the person who died probably wasn't supposed to be there. In the early days of the case, some people assumed the corpse had started the fire, but once it was traced back to an electrical fault, people forgot because nobody wanted to believe it was actually a human corpse. As weeks and months went by without any reasonably connected missing person reports, people forgot about that whole aspect of the fire, and some people you ask might argue the ghost never affected anything else. But I think that person's ghost continued to haunt the studio for at least a half decade afterwards. The ghost really loved setting fires. Every few months, some other thing would overheat or burst into flames. The light bulb, the trash and the bin, it even tried overheating the computers, but it couldn't heat them while they restarted. That said, Ardman Animations was far too vigilant for there to be any fires after the first. The ghost also hated the stop motion animation process. Suddenly, claymation characters were showing up mangled, squished and ripped into pieces. Sets were getting destroyed left and right in ways that couldn't be natural, but could have done them was up in the air. I still think that ghost is part of the reason Ard for Christmas was CGI as opposed to stop motion, because I heard the problem was especially bad with that one. Security cameras weren't any help either, because the models that were on camera never actually got destroyed. It's one more piece of evidence that something fundamentally unnatural was happening. Other than those two things, it never got too bold. It may have stolen pencils, but they also may have been misplaced. The papers ended up on the ground because of stray gusts of wind. People got sudden chills and felt like they were being watched sometimes. It never really reached the point where anybody made a public statement, because what were they supposed to say? Someone died in the warehouse fire and their ghost is haunting our animation company. Okay, maybe I can say for certain that the ghost was the reason the claymation characters started showing up ripped into pieces. Maybe all the spontaneous electrical faults which occurred in the years after that really were spontaneous. I don't have any proof that they hired an exorcist except for word of mouth, and it took them nearly half a decade to do it. I guess they must have tried other solutions before resorting to the loopy sounding one that ended up working. I believe nothing out of the ordinary happened during the exorcism, but the weird stuff stopped happening. No more fires, no more ripped-out models. I'm pretty sure nothing like that has ever happened again, and I hope it never does. You may have already figured this out, but I definitely think Ardman did nothing wrong here. The corpse obviously wasn't supposed to be there and all it did was make life harder for the people in the animation company. The whole debacle just makes me root for Ardman even more. Still call me a heretic, but I don't have full faith that the exorcism worked, and I'm kind of scared that the ghost is just biting its time. I guess I don't have concrete proof, but I still think it hasn't finished business in the mortal plane, considering the amount we don't know about its origins. That's why I still obsessively look up news about Ardman in case there was another fire, and why I can't stop searching for who could have possibly died in that warehouse. All in all, I hope Ardman never has another fire like the fire of 2005.


This space is kind of partitioned into different silos where you have a fixed desk and a common area for people that are coming to work. There are different brands here, different companies from different parts of Nigeria, different parts of the world. The subscription video is on demand and then we have all types of content. So Hollywood, Hollywood, and of course, Nollywood content. And then we also create content. Fantastic. So if you wanted to subscribe, you would be the... We have free vouchers. We have vouchers for subscribers. Okay, okay. What do you guys do? My name is Joko, and I have a line of accessories called Joko. So right now, I'm working on making another good school with them. And they made it in Nigeria. But this space is fantastic because I'm able to do my administrative work here. And then I can get the actual work done. So you have the factory somewhere where you make your stuff? Okay. Who guys really are? I never knew that young people were that aggressive, making money and all of that. You guys always told me different... Cut from a different model of them. Thank you.


Hello everyone, welcome to the PictoBlocks machine learning environment tutorial series. In this tutorial we are going to learn about object detection. Object detection is one of the machine learning model types which can be trained in PictoBlocks. Object detection can be used to locate and recognize objects in a given range. For example, an object detection model trained to recognize alarm clocks will locate alarm clocks in an image using bounding boxes. In this example, we are going to use object detection to detect bottles and eyeglasses in a given image. However, you can pick any two objects of your trace. The two classes we will be working with are bottle and glasses. Let's get started. Open PictoBlocks and select the Python coding environment. Go to the machine learning environment by selecting the open ML environment option under the files tab. As we are training our models in Python, it is important that we have the required dependencies. In order to download these dependencies, simply click on the gear icon on the top right of the screen and select the download dependencies option. This will download and update the dependencies required to train the model. Click on the create new project option to initialize your project. Type an appropriate name of the project and select object detection as the model type. Click on the create project button and you'll see the object detection window. You'll find yourself under the import tab with three options to import images. By using the webcam, by selecting the images from the computer's hard drive and by downloading the images from a repository. For this example, we will be using a webcam to capture images. You need to capture more than 25 images for object detection to work. You will be able to see all your captured images here. If you do not like an image, hover with the image and click on the delete button to delete the image. Labeling the data is crucial on object detection. Go to the B box tab and you'll see the create bounding box window. Click on the create box button and label the object. As you label more images, class info will be updated accordingly. To label an image belonging to a class already created, click the edit button and simply click on the corresponding class. Clicking on the next button will automatically save your bounding box and label. However, make sure to press the save box button after you label the last image. Once the images are labeled, go to the image tab to review the images. Once the images are reviewed, go to the train tab. This is where we will train the model. Click on the train new model button. Make sure all the classes are selected and click on the generate data set button. Once the data set is generated, click on next. In object detection, we can work with three hyperparameters. Bath size, number of iterations, and number of layers. Hover over the hyperparameters to view their description. For this example, we'll be training the model for 5000 iterations with a bath size of 4. We'll set the number of layers to 4. Click on create and click on start training. Object detection training is a time taking task, so please be patient. After the model is trained, you can view the graphs by clicking on the corresponding buttons. Go to the evaluate tab to view a comprehensive overview of your model performance. You can also view false positives and false negatives for your classes. False positives are observations from a different class that the model detects to be in the current class. False negatives are observations from the current class that the model detects to be in a different class. Now let's move to the test tab. You can test your model here either by uploading the images or by using the webcam. Use the webcam to test your model. You can alter the IOU and confidence threshold by adjusting the sliders on top to see the performance of the trained model. Click on the pick to blocks option under the export model column and pick to blocks will load your model into the python coding environment. Observe how we already have a boilerplate code ready. This code uses cv2 to capture images and displays the class of the objects in the frame. Let's run it and see the code in action. The code will open up an object detection window. You can see bounding boxes and the corresponding classes in this window. Even if you have multiple objects, the object detection model will recognize all of them. There you go. You just created your very own object detection project in python coding.


Garrett, obviously, everything started for you here in Pittsburgh. What type of nostalgia comes back when you step foot in this ballpark? It's kind of hard to describe, but it's definitely there. It's just I just get a little bit of a burst of energy, I think. Why is that? Because there are a lot of firsts, because there are a lot of big moments and a lot of failures. And, yeah, I don't know. What are some of the lessons you learned while you were here? Yeah, I mean, I learned how to become a professional here. And I learned how to manage, you know, manage games without my best stuff. I learned how to be a good teammate. And a lot of those things, this organization and my teammates helped me out with. So I'm thankful for 2015. When you were an all-star fourth in the NL, Cy Young, how different a picture are you now than you were when you were with the Pirates? Yeah, I think I'm I think I'm mostly throwing four seams now as opposed to two seams. So and hopefully everything everything else should be pretty. Pretty much a little bit better, a little bit more refined, but the same guy at the core. You know, trying to do the same things I did in that year this year, just in a different league with different stuff and a older rig. You had mentioned the other day after you had made a start that you almost felt like you were in a Pirates uniform at times. You got in a little bit of the first inning in trouble. But like, how weird is that being on the mound, just like in a different uniform, not being, you know, where you were a handful of years ago? Yeah, it's just I wanted to make a right hand turn off the mound instead of a left hand turn and just had like, I don't know, it just it was I think it was a little weird because it had been so long. I wish I would have came back a little a little sooner. It might not have been so so nostalgic or so like so foreign. But I believe it is the last stadium that I have needed to pitch in as a visitor. And so it's like it's just what a what a wild experience. It was really humbling to I mean, just, you know, not a not a great first inning, but there's been a lot of games of my career where I haven't been very good. And we've had to figure out how to keep us in the game. And that was one of them. Oftentimes as a pitcher, you're you feel good about those type of outings. I was going to say, is there something rewarding about an outing like that where maybe you don't have your best stuff early on, but you you grind through it, you get through it. Yeah, I think there is.  And it's not easy, you know, but if you can kind of master that mentality, then, you know, understanding that you're not very good that day, you are afforded the opportunity to get creative and try to do things that you otherwise normally wouldn't. And just stay vigilant to what the other team is doing well against you. And, you know, if you're not doing something very well, it the situation may present itself to do something out of the ordinary and getting creative is always fun. So you've set the standard so high throughout your career, but really this year, the standard is so high. So in outings like that, you look at it and it's like it looked like it had been a grind, but you look at the the line and it's like two runs, five.  It's like solid out. I mean, it's escalated for me before. And maybe that's why I was able to pull from those experiences. I felt like the first inning gave me some fits. And I mean, it really it's a hard ending to get through as a starting pitcher. You really don't know what you're going to have. And the opposition gets to, you know, put the three batters that they think have the best chance to to do some damage right out of the gate at you. So there's always a bit of uncertainty going into that ending. And I certainly had my fair share of struggles in the first inning, especially in this park, especially earlier in my career.  But you find ways to kind of work around it.  And I ended up finding a pretty good, pretty good groove there towards the end of the third, fourth, fifth. And, you know, I put myself in a position to go back out for the sixth.  But, you know, I was I was prepared to go do that. So that feels really rewarding when you can scramble the pieces back together after you've dropped the pot on the on the floor. So two starts left, likely in the regular season. Do you feel pressure right now knowing where you are in the in the side? I know you're going to hate me for this, but in this young race, I've been in a pressure cooker for a long time. You know, we weak, you know, it's just we're not really afforded the opportunity to dwell on those type of things. I've already started looking at Toronto. So that's, I guess, how I deal with it. I'm just getting ready for for next Thursday or, you know, right out of this right out of the shoot to people. People have to be saying stuff to you though, right? Like myself, other people. Yeah, I mean, it's a good position to be in. I mean, and I'm thankful for the well wishes and the compliments. But, you know, it's just when I talk about it, it's like just a little bit of a tangent and then we get we get back on the straight and get ready for Toronto. So what would it mean to you? It would be. It would be. Yeah, it would be the most special word of my career. It would be, I mean, I'd be honored to represent this team and and and and, you know, push it over the line for the guys that have contributed. Every single person on this team has helped me out, especially the catchers. I mean, I've had like a fleet of catchers this year and like for Ben to come up and just be so, so good, like so good right out of the gate. And it's, you know, been really fortunate to work with him and have a lot of fun growing with him and and and working through really, really good games and really, really bad games. He just he just seems to find out how to get the best out of us and make the best out of the situation. It's a really special quality as a as a rookie who doesn't have a lot of time and jumping into a high pressure situation as you alluded to. So, you know, I just got to push it. I just got to keep trying to push to stay focused and try to get it over the line for everybody else that's contributed. We'll go on a lighter note now. Can't help but notice your adorable oldest son on days that you start really takes it to heart. You have to you have to love watching him post start the way he gets ready.  Cleats. But I mean, he's like that at the house. So too, if he doesn't get to go to a game and he gets to watch the first three innings, I mean, he's taking it bats with the guys on the TV and sprinting around the dining room and standing on second base. If somebody hits a double, he's on second base.  Um, it makes it easy for us, right? It didn't have to push him and he just picked it up. So it's a lot of fun and it brings me a lot of joy. Any part of you that thinks, OK, he gets this focus of being locked in, dialed in from his dad?  It keeps me, it keeps me in the in the black. So yeah. All right, best of luck the rest of the way. Thanks, Meredith.


I have been dedicating most of my professional career in trying to promote and develop sustainable pest control methods within an interwebless management approach, including the star insect technology. The technique is effective and environment-friendly. It is based on the mass production and sterilization of these insects, which are released on target areas where the pest is doing damage. What do national plant protection organizations can do to continue promoting the use and adoption of this technology? There are a number of things that can be done, including reflecting these tools, these technologies in the policies of the national plant protection organization, so that it can be picked up by the farmers, by the private sectors. We need also to improve or provide more resources into capacity building. This technology requires some minimum infrastructure and know-how, so we need to invest more in capacity building. This can be done through a number of mechanisms, including the technical operation projects, and also we need to involve more the financial institutions like the World Bank or the BID or mechanisms such as the STD to be able to create this capacity and fund these initiatives for this innovative technology. We also need to raise the awareness, not only the awareness of the direct beneficiaries and the decision makers, but also the awareness of the general public, as this is an inclusive technology. It is a participative approach where you need all the stakeholders, all the interest of parties involved in the implementation.


What's up everybody? Jay's here with JaspysCaseBrakes.com. This is our last and only filler we needed to do to sell out this six bots in the NLB Jaspy repack dual case break with this 2023 Bowman Platinum Baseball one box blaster break number one again guys first we do the break Randomize names teams to strip the hits out of the blaster and we're no that common strip out of everything else Well, but then at the end we'll re-randomize only the names that bought in and the top six get into the baseball repack break So let's do the break first guys Roll it three and a four seven times one two three four five six seven Seven times three four seven seven Zach done a Logan Actually, I didn't put no teams in here. I'm gonna put the teams in that list Seven times one two three four five six and seven Yankees down to the Red Sox All right, of course stick to what you got guys. No trading. Let's do the break. I actually have Jimmy But thankfully I've never actually cut a pack or a or a card But I've definitely knifed it too hard before or like if the blade is like frickin sharp as how I didn't realize it Definitely have a knife through the box, but thankfully I've never cut a pack or a card That would be that would be horrible. Like I never do it enough. I guess to just damage the card Definitely the box Forbidden Carol Mikey Mikey There's a blue lover pro grero I have two games on I'm watching the Oregon Ducks Washington, Oregon Ducks, Arizona Pack 12 semi-final game And then I think that there's like a ACC game going on on the TV I'd be watching my game on the TV, but we don't have packed all network here with the direct TV So I got a resort to some streaming Alvarez Carol Michael Harris, we got that little pre-war numbered card. Let me double-check again I don't think I hit any other number cards. He's these are definitely like different kind of parallels, but Not numbered. I know I guess I definitely slash boxes before Jimmy, but definitely have Thankfully never damage cards because I first of all That would suck second of all what if it was your card, you know, what am I gonna do now?

The representation of women in tech is gaining momentum, however we still have a long way to go, for instance women in the Nigerian tech space make up just about 22% of the workforce. Reasons for this include lack of accessible opportunities, cultural stereotypes, society's male suitability for tech roles etc. So today we're asking how do we start to empower women in tech. Please let's hear what you have to say, remember you can join the conversation. Send us an SMS or whatsapp to 0818 038 4663 or tweet at us at wayshareafrica with the hashtag wayshare. So dearly I know we talked fairly recently, I come over what we were talking about and you talked about your experience in tech. That was around a recruitment exercise I believe, but what has your experience in tech as a whole, what has that been like? Well ok, so now I'm not in tech anymore. I still think that it's still very stereotyped really and as a woman you're made to feel like you can go the long haul when you're in that space. Sometimes it's unconsciously derogatory like they make it look like they're doing a marathon on coding and stuff or you have to deal with monthly stuff. The typical stuff and the truth is it depends on the part of tech you're in. If you're into coding that takes quite a whole lot of time out into coding and you can go days trying to debug or whatever and all that. I think that takes its toll on women but again women are much more interested in tech now because some of the things that society made the norm like 10 years ago and all that. Gradually people are saying ok you know what I think I know what I want, I don't really have to get married when I'm 25, I don't really have to rate exactly I have options. So those things are also impacting positively to having more women in the tech space who can actually go the long haul. Awesome, nice to see there some progress. Hello Mary, how are you today? I'm ok, I'm good. How's your week been? Come see, come see. Awesome, excellent. What are your thoughts on women in tech? To be honest I feel like it's not easy and I feel like it's too relatable to women in business which is still tough because women have to learn to balance work life and that's a bit tough for us. We have the when you were pregnant that takes its toll but I can see that organizations are now stepping up to say oh hey the whole work from home has changed a lot of things. Tech is making things easier in which you can stay at home and do your work. You have people who they just gave birth and you know they're still on the computer and they can still do it. So I think organizations are stepping up now to include women in the workforce but I think we have a long way to go but we're doing better trust me. I think that I agree with you there from, I see a lot more organizations being very deliberate about diversity equity and inclusion programs and you know really making workplaces conducive for all types of women at all stages in their lives really, whether you're a nursing mother, whether you're pregnant. I've just seen some really really interesting benefits that companies, in fact I think there was a company, I think it was late last year who was on social media talking about their benefits for fathers. Definitely important for us to stress that gains have been made but we won't stop here, more certainly needs to be done. We're looking forward to talking to our guest today to give us her perspective on women in tech. Jane Egerton Adeher is a tech executive, author and speaker. She was the head of sales Middle East and Africa for Metta Facebook. Prior to that she was country manager in Nigeria and the original sales director for the West Africa branch of Avanti Communications Group PLC. She cumulatively spent 13 years in sales and management in the telecommunication infrastructure giant Ericsson. She also worked as a cluster lead for Nokia Siemens Network in West Africa. Being one of the few females heading key business areas in the tech industry has exposed Jane to numerous professional and personal challenges, peculiar to women. Sperd by discussions with fellow female executives around the globe, she organized a forum at Ericsson in which emerging and experienced female leaders could support each other in developing their careers. The overwhelming success of the forum led her to found women and career at www.womenandcareer.com to reach women beyond her organization and to support girls seeking careers after school. Thank you for joining us, Jane. She joined us via Zoom. Hi Jane. Hi, and it's good to be here. Good to be back. Lovely to have you. Yes, it's been a few years but we always love to have our guests come back to the show and see how much progress you've made. I think at the time we had you on the show the last time you were just about to go to Metta. Yes, I just published my book. You did. You did. A very good reader, I must add. What are your thoughts so far on how the journey and the experience has progressed for women in tech? Yes, because I've listened to Mary and the other ladies share their thoughts and I thought, wow, that's interesting because it's been two decades. Can you hear me? Yes, we can. It's been two decades since I started my journey in tech and it has really evolved. I don't think the problem is entirely solved and I don't think it will be entirely solved in my lifetime but I could share my perspective in terms of how I've seen progress. I will borrow Charles Blow's analogy. He used it for a race but it really works with the challenges women have faced in tech. It's been one of a mountain where you're trying to climb the mountain. Most of the women are faced with these hurdles to climb the mountain in their career as entrepreneurs in the society. There is also the challenge of trying to reduce the mountain that these women are trying to climb. That's where we need more leadership or policymakers to help reduce some of these hurdles or barriers we've created for them. But if I look at my journey so far, I look at it from three points. In earlier in my career, we always used to say we had a pipeline challenge.  So the challenge was how do we get more girls to study tech? How do we get more women into tech roles? But the reality is that we found that even though that problem is not entirely solved, we had another issue. Even the little ones that make it into tech, we had a retention problem. I saw that firsthand. By the time I got married, I started having kids. All the women around me were just disappearing. This one is resigning. She's no longer working. She wants to be a teenager. And I'm not saying those professions are bad but it was almost like the system had made it difficult for them to remain. It was difficult to be married as a woman and take some of those tech roles. So they tried to wither away. Then we had the problem of leadership. So you now start getting close and you realize that there are very few people that look like you at those tables. And it has a huge impact because those tables, leadership tables, is where real decision is made. And if you don't influence it from the leadership, sometimes all those goals, because I was in these companies were always setting ambitious targets. We want 33% of women by 20, whatever. We had all these wonderful, amazing goals, but we never were really implementing them. So it's almost like it was a great and a hype thing to have a goal or a target. But when it really comes to doing the work, executing, it was lacking. And that was most times because leadership wasn't paying it. Leadership wasn't even invested to take it on as a goal and force the line management downwards to execute. So I see it from three angles. I know the broader issues are more societal related stereotypes and biases that exist. That's why I said it doesn't, it's not in our lifetime we can solve that problem. But there's been some progress. I will say that. I know I put up a post like, I think it was like a couple of months ago. I'd gone to my office in Lagos. I came for a meeting. I was so happy. I saw a nursing room. And people didn't get it. I actually took a picture. I was really excited. I was like, why are you so excited? I'm like, when I was having kids, this didn't exist. I used to pump breast milk in the toilet and in the room where you have the file cabinets in the store room. It was almost like a taboo to talk about it. And here you're proudly displaying a nursing room. Glad, like I said, we must acknowledge the progress that we've made and we're all excited to see whatever the little gains are, we'll celebrate them and look forward to seeing much more. OK, so actually you had mentioned something about, you know, getting women to go into STEM, you know, and I wanted to ask if, OK, well, I know there's a lot of advocacy going into that bottom. Do you think that the industry in itself, you know, is attractive enough? I mean, considering all the challenges that you just mentioned, again, we have evolved, but the challenges are still there. Do you think that if there's any incentive, so to say, that more women, more girls who want to go into the STEM programme and, of course, you know, bridge the degree gap, you know, between men going into tech, you know, related courses, profession as against women, you know, who are just, well, I don't know. Just laid back, so to say, but what are the kind of incentives that you think should be put in place to ensure that more women, more girls, even the women in the industry currently, you know, they have the support, you know, that they need to foster a career advancement? Very good question, very good one. I think when it comes to pipeline, in one of the baseline one people had for years chased, which I think is great, is hiring, the way companies hire. We noticed if you do blind hiring, this easy peasy, like when you see the CV and you take away the gender, the way you would, you know, you would decide and choose those that make it would be different when the gender is shown. And I had personally witnessed it, because I remember one role we were recruited for and it was a lady at the end, the top candidate was a lady.  We were just feeling wrong with before the end. And I was the only woman in the panel. So I was uncomfortable even in my little work. I'm like, you know what, maybe we should focus on the skills. So hiring is one thing we could do when it comes to pipelining. And when it comes to retention, we could do much more actually, because a lot has got to do with the existing leadership management, the managers that hire as well. How are you creating that environment that makes it really congeasy for women to stay? And one easy one is the hybrid workplace. Didn't used to exist.  It was just ridiculous. If she could work remotely, I still, because I didn't think about it, you were talking about coding. To write a code, I don't need to be in the office. If you could actually manage more based on performance. The important thing is that I delivered the code I told you I was going to deliver. You don't have to see me physically 24 hours every weekday to do that. So things like hybrid workplaces start opening up and make it easier for women. Because most times they are at the prime of their, you know, prime of their career and still prime of their model youth phase when they are in those careers. And it's almost like, you know, chicken and egg situation for them. They don't want to leave. Most of them don't want to leave those jobs just to have kids. They still want to relieve other parts of them. So they really want to keep the career. So if things like nursing rooms did exist, so the woman doesn't have to feel guilty pumping milk in the toilet for a baby. You know, those kind of stuff. Being conducive for them that when they come back, we accommodate the fact that for a couple of months, yes, we might have to, you know, give them incentives like closing times made a bit more understandable. The times we have our meetings can do that was a big problem for me. Trying to put most of your meetings at 8am for a woman that has a toddler that is nursing. It doesn't work. She probably didn't sleep the whole night. She was breastfeeding. So once we start to train our, so this is for retention, we start to make those changes to the cultural practices in our organisation and how we create conducive environment for them. But we also do a bit of capacity-building. You could have trained the managers because some of the bias is also stemmed from the fact that the managers, the people in leadership had this unconscious bias. The woman tells you she's going for immunisation. She'd be like, immunisation again?  Next time, she'd probably be like, maybe I should just leave this job, you know. So those types of things would really help. It would really help when we create those policies within the organisations. HR has invested interest to make sure that women, we create a conducive environment for them to remain in the organisation and grow their careers if they want to. So I think that I like the fact that we sort of really talked about the empowerment in the workplace. But given the numbers that we have today, I think that we also, when we want to try to improve the performance and improve the representation of women in tech, when you empower, you can either empower based on skill or you can empower the individual in terms of their mindset and how they approach it. So I want to talk more on that, empowering the individual. Today there's a plethora of courses that you can take in tech, right? You can take short courses, you can still go to university. There's so many ways in which you can upskill to join the tech world. But given what we've talked about so far, we can see that there's a gap in the mindset, or the expectation. So when I get a job in tech, I'm excited, I'm looking forward to it, then I'm embraced, or I'm faced with these kinds of, I won't call them hostile conditions, but unsuitable conditions that eventually lead to me, lead to me leaving, there's attrition, there's turn. What do you think can be done to prepare women better for roles in tech? So when I'm upskilling, are there, is there like a female in tech 101 course I could take? Just like to hear what your thoughts are there in preparing women better to go into tech. I like the fact that you said it's there, but don't want to watch it. It's just like there's no manual for modern tech. Exactly. But that said, I think a lot of awareness needs to be, there's a lot of awareness that is required, and I think this is where even civil societies, policymakers need to create these awareness, even down the pipeline. You don't have to wait until when it's time for them to get into the job market. Even while they are still higher education, secondary school, if we create that perception that when we are looking for people in tech, we're looking for people that can solve problems, it's not tied to the agenda.  That's not a restriction. That is definitely a good one, because mindset change takes a while. Some of these young ladies, some of us young women, it took a lifetime to think this way. This is subconsciously what people have nudged you to. Oh, no, don't choose those costs. That's too hard. Why don't you just go and do this one and graduate?  So that's one, but also even as we do that, I think organisations can do that because if we say civil societies and policymakers do that, a lot is also required from organisations when we go and take these graduate hires, what do we train them? And some of the training is to create the mindset of what an ideal candidate for us. And if we make it look like it's not tied to gender and these wouldn't be the challenges, you're kind of making it easier for the women to see themselves in those roles. A third thing I'll say is mentoring. I think it's really good. Apart from training, if you see you do, some of us took up things because either you saw someone do it or you saw someone that you so admire taking that pathway that you feel empowered, you feel like, oh, I can do it. Because that's what has happened to me. Each of the roles that I've taken that has been so challenging because people said, oh, we never had a woman do it anymore, whatever. Once I do it, if I leave that role, the next thing you see, a lot of women want to apply towards taking on that role. So if we also do that, that could be a good way, mentoring, making sure they have role models they can look up to, championing their case. Because sometimes also beyond mentoring, organisations should be invested in actually giving them sponsors and champions within the organisation. Because sometimes also you need people that can understand where you're coming from. Because if you're talking about all these mindset challenges, tell me that your boss is a guy. He might not even understand this thing you're talking about. He doesn't get it in that sense. It's not that he's being mean, but he doesn't see it from your viewpoint. There comes empathy.  Awesome. I think we should take a short break now. Please stay with us. We'll be right back. If you've just tuned in, we're discussing the topic Empowering Women in Tech with Jane Egerton-Idehan. Please let's hear what you have to say. Remember, you can join the conversation. Send us an SMS or WhatsApp<PHONE_NUMBER>63.  We'd love to hear your perspective on this conversation. So Mary, I think we'll come to you. All right. I think we've said quite a lot, but which is really good. And I would also like to come from the point of imposter syndrome. How do you deal with that? Because you have a lot of young females in the tech space or in the walk space who feel like they're not good enough. Well, they're actually good enough, but I feel like their achievements, you're not able to advocate for yourself. So would you advise more mentorship or networking? What's going to help to build that firm leg where you can speak up for yourself and have a voice for yourself? I'm not going to learn this thing overnight. I'm not going to be the champion overnight, but I'm on the path to being the champion. Thank you, Mary. Everyone goes through it, I think, because imposter syndrome normally kicks in where there are very few people that look like you in a room. Then all of a sudden you start to feel very little or vulnerable or you start to feel like your voice doesn't count. When it happens, it could be for a woman being always the only one in the room that is female or a black person always being the only black person in the room. All of a sudden the pressure kicks in because you see very little like yourself. I know that a good way, because I share from my own personal experience, a good support system is always very helpful because you're playing mind games.  A good example, I remember I went for a program in Yale. It was a board training for women and there were only two of us that were Africans in that large room.  Do they understand me? Will they hear me? But the truth is that one good thing that worked for me is one of those days I had a call to my mom and I don't know what we were talking about. I was like, you're right, I need to talk to them about Nigeria, give them the perspective and that changed the way I saw it. So one way is to feed yourself with the fact that you bring something to the room. I think Uti was alluded to that earlier. We have to recognize the fact that you are who you are, a woman, a young girl in tech. There's a reason why your voice should be heard because you're speaking for many others like yourself. But it's also important to have a support system because I don't think that mindset shift will kick in automatically. It's good to have people you can be vulnerable with and they can help you and applaud you and put that up and let you know that, hey, this is why you were there and this is why you should do it. Make sure you don't leave there doing what we said you should do. So those are some of the basic things that I know that have worked for me because it's also like a transformational thing. You're always working on it. I don't think it finally goes away. Each time where you are a minority in the room, the tendency is that it will kick in. I always sort of talk about, I tell young people that I mentor that you should find your superpower and figure out how you're going to leverage that to your benefit. Now, one of the things that we sort of not touched on really is the type of products that are created in tech. So when we think about the products, we think about the UI UX, all of these products, when they're created, they're targeted eventually at women. I don't have the stats on the top of my head, but I would imagine that they're more female social media users of these platforms than there would be men. So what impact, right, because if we're talking about empowerment, what impact from that perspective, given that you're creating a product for the gender, would having a higher representation of that gender in those types of teams, what impact would it have? And that's why sometimes we get the products wrong. Now I'm even talking to tech. Just just take basic AI. I was playing with an AI filter the other day, it was meant to do make up.  It wasn't a guy. It probably was a guy. And his idea of how a woman should be made up and the colors to be used like probably different. So that's why it's so important we have women in those rooms. If you are targeting a specific market, an addressable market, and the demographics is male and female, it only makes logical sense that to create that product, they should be male and female in the room. Even though you're creating a product for one-sided demographic, for just one side of the gender space. And that's why most times we get it wrong again and again. A good example, you just begin to what you said is the shoes. Remember the red sole shoes that we all wear, Louis Vuitton, everybody loves them. They are very fancy, they are very expensive, but they are very uncomfortable. And I remember when I kept wondering why is this thing so uncomfortable? After all the money I've spent, then I googled, I found out that the creative director is a guy. He doesn't get to wear the shoe the entire day like I do. So he doesn't get the comfort part. He just wants to make it look attractive and classy. And that's what happens to the tech products. Once we're not having women in the room, especially products that are targeting women, there's always a missed alignment. Then it takes loads and loads of iteration to get it right. And the basic way to fix it is to hack the women in the room. Because I remember there's a tech product that we're talking about. I was just in the room for a different reason. And by the time they had told me about this, they had a wonderful idea. I told them, the market you are serving. The product was to service a market, traders in the market, which were mostly women. But the people building the product, they have no proper alignment to that target market. I was creating a product in the air that the people going to use it will probably not use it. So it's so important, right? Especially now we are at this transition point where we are having AI block. If you don't have women in those room helping you build those products, you're back to square one. Okay, so I mean, in all of this, I was thinking of a founder's gap. There is a lot of women are going into business now. Again, we're getting the skills, we're upskilling and all of that. And funding is always a major issue. So I'm thinking, I don't know what your take on that would be, but I'm thinking that if we're trying to drive more women into the tech space, then we should create opportunities where women who are willing to start up their own tech businesses have access to funding. Because funding is a huge part in why a lot of women would just be like, okay, you know what? Okay, I can't work in this space because things are not going the way I want them to go. I don't have all the opportunities I want. I can't start my own stuff because I don't have the funding for it. So what do you think should be done or how do you think women can access funding to encourage startups, female-owned businesses, and drive that empowerment? You're so right because even if you look at the West African space, I think women are very entrepreneurial in South Africa. I can't remember the number. It's more than the global average. But of course, in terms of scaling up those business funding, they struggle when it's time to raise funds because most of these investors themselves are male. People are almost drawn to people that look like them.  You think like them and you think that if it's not presented in that way, you don't see it as an opportunity. It's like, oh, she has a good idea, but nah, we're looking for a unicorn. So one way, of course, I notice women have is to put our money where our mouth is and it's to have more women investors, more women funding.  You see a couple of funds that are just targeting women, especially in the FinTech. I think that's one way to do it because it's only... If you don't give those women a chance, they will never blossom to give us those unicorns and those wonderful start-ups we want to see. But they don't stand a chance because the people are locating the funds. Don't look like them. Don't think like them.  So it's to have women actually do that. And you start to see that in terms of the angel funding. I think policy could help, actually. Because even when we create all these governmental programmes and create funds and all that, if we give organisations... Because that's what people started doing. If we give funds incentive to make sure they fund female businesses, if they know that they have an incentive, they get the tax rebate, they get something, there's a leverage you're going to use, you see more of them start to deliberately look for female founded or own businesses. And that's how we could change that. Because if we don't give them the incentive, they'll still do what they've always done because it's always worked for them. And then we'll continue to have that gap. So it has to be two-point where women themselves are doing it. Forgotting one slog at someone that used that, when it comes to having women also invest in female-own businesses so that we can support them. But also to make sure that the standard funds, the standard investors are giving incentive to want to fund female-own businesses. Okay. I would like to hear your view on the AI scare that is going on right now. We've heard that the founder has stepped out of the... The buck has left a building. Yes, he has said that there's a lot of dangers and he has just left us hanging. And I know for the well that the chat... Chat GPT? Yeah, you know, it's really gaining waves these days. So I mean, is it harmful? Should we be cautious of it or... I mean, the advantage is more than disadvantages. What do you have to say on that? My personal opinion is too late. Even though he leaves the building, he has taken off already. He can't stop it. I know. He's taken a life of his own. I like to see this. I always say that technology is like a knife in your kitchen. I like to use that illustration. A knife in your kitchen, in your hands is a wonderful tool.  You make a good meal. If a thief comes to your house, a knife in his hand is a very dangerous tool. That's not what you want. That's how technology in many ways looks like. It can be used for good, and that's where policy comes in. It can be used for good, but it can be used for bad, because now we're talking about AI and all the wonderful things it can do for us, especially with Chat GPT, opening AI, and how it will transform the way we do work in the next century. Even some of the jobs we do, it will change. Some of the knowledge work we do, the way we do it, will change, because we can literally outsource some of those cognitive tasks to AI. AI will write your article, do your proposal. Don't let it take that. I use it. I use it. I'm not complaining. We want to make sure that it doesn't fall into the hands of the wrong people, because it will happen to social media. Because we didn't step in with the right... People didn't know what to do. When it comes to privacy and security, it was hanging in the air for a long time. Nobody could define what the rules should be, so anything went. And that's how even our kids got caught up in that whirlwind. So now that it's still early, I don't think we should, in my opinion. Maybe it's not the time to leave it to the technocrats, or the technology creators themselves to polish it, because it's probably not going to be the best. In most cases, they might not have an incentive to want to do it, because people can actually use it for bad. Think about it if someone gets one of these AI plugins and writes a model that can scrape around collecting data about people's credit card. You can do so many crazy things with it that are not actually legal. But you don't want that. But this is the time to now start sitting and saying, what kind of policy should we put around it? You see, we're talking about misinformation. You can create all them fake videos now, because we can simulate, no matter the kind of voice you have, it can be simulated with AI. We can do the same thing with your pictures, and we can create funny videos of you that you didn't even do, and it looks like a real video of you. And that will create a lot of misinformation. But maybe this is a time to regulate it, and now state that, okay, if it was done with AI, it should be stated there that this video was done with AI. It's not the actual, maybe, person, or this is an AI-generated video. I think the earlier we start to do that, it will reduce the harmful effects, because if we don't do that, if we start having a case of she said, she said nobody's sure with all the information going around, which one is actually sourced correctly and which one is just AI-generated. So this is a good time to start having the conversations. I think this is a time that policy makers should start having that conversation. How do we ensure that there's privacy and security as AI starts doing more? Let's hope that in setting those types of policies, people then don't feel that their rights are being infringed on. But we've enjoyed the conversation as we come close to the end of the show. I'd like you to leave us with your thoughts, and these thoughts are targeted at three different women. I'd like you to give us your final comment to a young girl today who's thinking about a job in tech, to a young lady who has just started her job in tech, and finally to a lady who is thinking, I'm ready to leave tech. What would you say to each of them? Oh, the lady there is ready. I'm already saying all. But to the young lady that's just about to start tech, the world is your oyster.  And we need you to solve problems, because the problems are for both male and females. If you're not there to solve problems, there will be nobody solving problems with women in mind. So it's so important that you take that journey, because your voice, you are needed in the room. To the woman in tech already, I want to say that you probably have started climbing this hill. So you have started experiencing some of the gaps. Now, I would love to tell you that the gaps wouldn't exist, but they will be there. But what I can tell you is that the mountain has been, or the hill, has been reducing with time. If you have more people like you to speak up, call out things, that hill will keep reducing so that your daughters, your sons, would have a better experience than you did. That's why it's so important that you do it, because if you look back at 150 years, even women were not expected to go to college. They were not allowed into all these Ivy League colleges, but today they can vote, they can go to college. So yes, the pains you have today will be the glory for your daughter tomorrow. So it is important that you also hang in there. And very quickly for the girl who is about to get into, who is thinking about getting into tech. No, leaving. I know that you are actually drained. If you're leaving, it has gotten to you. But that's life. Life will have its highs and lows. So my only ask for you is that, think about the reason you got into tech. Could that be a reason to keep you there? There must have been a reason. There must have been some dreams, something you were trying to achieve. There must have been a reason to keep you there. There must have been some dreams, something you were trying to achieve. Can you look for a way to recharge yourself? So can you go back to the actual reason? And don't all these distractions take you away? Excellent. Thank you so much, Jane. We've certainly had a great time having you on the show. And we look forward to having you back again. Thank you, Adela. Thank you, Mary. Always fun being on set with you ladies. So before we go, do ensure you follow us on Instagram, at Wayshow Africa. You can interact with us further, for comments, and most importantly, follow all our social media engagements. And remember to like, share, comment, and invite your friends or family to watch us and follow us. If you missed today's quote here, it is again, recognise and embrace your uniqueness. I don't think the ratios are going to change anytime soon. But I don't think it has to be a disadvantage being a black woman, being a woman in general on a team of all men means that you're going to have a unique voice. It's important to embrace that. We'll see you again on Monday at 8pm as we bring another great conversation to your screens. Have a good evening.
