The global idea-sharing platform TED have independently organized events in various countries. TEDxGIJ; Ghana Institute of Journalism happened virtually on 16 December, 2021. There were 5 speakers speaking on the theme: ‘Ghana, Africa and Beyond’. An interesting discussion on ‘Social Media is Drug’ was shared by the Digital Market and Social Tech Blogger; Bright Tenbil.
Speaking at the event, he made a couple of salient points with social media as a drug. He shared that, social media pandemic is a creating opportunities to learn, work, keep families, wish friends on special occasions including other positive attributes. However, this same tool causes deceit to our upcoming generations, affect productivity at work, and creates divided attention at family gatherings.
Interestingly, Africans contribute much to the big tech companies across the world with records of their online participation and active contribution. At the event, he revealed how the third world war is ongoing with the tech disruption in recent times. Speaking about how Viber was swiped off by Whatsapp, Club House was mimicked by Twitter Spaces not forgetting the close similarities between Snapchat and Whatsapp Status. With my recent observation, I see a close upgrade of Instagram into Tiktok. This war seems very interesting.
Bright Tenbil’s presentation at TEDxGIJ was worth listening and there were a lot I personally came to understand. ‘The big tech companies make money by manipulating our thoughts and decision-making through targeted and retargeting advertisement. They see whatever activity we perform on our platforms, hence, we do not having the privacy as promised.’ These are ideas he also shared at the event. I think some points can be debatable but this are definitely major points made.
In sum, just like taking a drug, you can have the positive or negative effects based on the conditions. Social media birth solutions and also causes problems, it depends on the user. We have the power to use social media wisely.
Over recent years, rent prices have skyrocketed. I had to pay twice my rent amount when I had to renew it this year and the landlord still requested two years’ advance even though it was a renewal.
Rent advance has become a necessary evil for landlords who spend huge sums of money to build apartments for rent given the high cost of building. This advance becomes an annual or biennial problem for tenants, especially those living in urban areas where rent demand exceeds supply.
This will no longer be an issue as Renmo is here to help. Most often, we earn monthly income so why not pay our rent monthly too? Renmo helps you achieve that and even more.
Renmo provides tenants the option to pay their rent monthly instead of the typical one to three years rent advance. Renmo does this in two ways: A) by paying the rent advance for you, so you pay back monthly without stress, B) by negotiating with some landlords to take monthly. In both cases, you just pay monthly even as you earn monthly.
How To Pay Your Rent Monthly In Ghana with Renmo
The process is very simple:
Find your dream home (or find a few listed homes listed by Renmo. The fastest way is to find your own home as Renmo has very few listed homes now)
Complete a simple Renmo application form.
Renmo does verifications (takes 1-2 days).
Renmo pays the rent advance to the landlord if you found your own home.
You move to your dream house
You pay Renmo monthly for the home
Once the application forms and verifications are completed (steps 2 & 3), Renmo completes the payment to the landlord within 24 hours. Renmo has already served over 100 tenants in the past 3 months since it began full operations in Ghana.
So, whether you are looking to renew your rent advance or looking to move to a new home, let Renmo cover that rent advance for you so you pay back monthly. You can also continue to check on their website for some of the few listings. You can reach Renmo via whatsapp on https://wa.link/dji020 or email via [email protected] You can also call the Renmo team on weekdays (8:30am-5pm) via 0592040292
It’s quick to overlook the social media site as an instance of how a large digital platform can foster violence, criminality, and idiotic stunts through viral videos. What’s fair is what’s appropriate.
TikTok isn’t entirely isn’t bad at any cause. There are indeed some viral dance routines that several of us dislike. Most people will agree that it is challenging to buy TikTok followers, and it is important to be rewarded after this summer. The Women’s Finance Network launched the hand sign in 2020, consisting of an outstretched palm looking away towards them, dipping the thumbs into the palms, and sealing the wrist.
The motion would not have gained traction if it weren’t for TikTok and its billion users. After a video of the hand signal became popular on TikTok, other regular users started making their clips with tutorials on how to perform the hand signal. Viewers also posted clips of the onstage response, concert staff disregarding screams for aid, and other audience members obstructing rescue professionals from reaching individuals who were injured.
In addition, witnesses have posted numerous TikTok videos explaining what they observed. TikTok is more about being engaged and interacting.
Almost every scene from the performance and the catastrophe was recorded on a mobile phone and posted to TikTok. You can’t simply ignore the positive in the midst of every one of TikTok’s negative attention.
What’s fair is what’s appropriate. “TikTok is simply one component of ByteDance, and although it has possibilities, it isn’t currently generating much in terms of money,” according to a current ByteDance worker who requested anonymity due to non-disclosure contracts. Instead, ByteDance has a higher and better ambition: to concurrently expand TikTok’s earnings capacities while also exploiting its popularity in Western economies as a springboard for its more comprehensive range of applications and services.
Mechanism Of Instruction
TikTok employs a real-time virtual learning approach that requires less processing power and delivers immediate feedback. For broadcasting and sharing of information goods, these are crucial.
The user’s behavior types can be captured in real-time, and the pattern can be fed back to reflect on the following feed. (For example, when you pick a video clip, your newsfeed will alter immediately to reflect your most recent activity). TikTok is probably processing the real-time sample data utilizing just several tools, such as clicks, presentations, collection, likes, replies, and shares.
Suggestion Algorithm On TikTok
TikTok’s basic formula is never revealed to the general audience or the tech world. However, based on the business’s incomplete data and the trials displayed by geeks utilizing reverse engineering methods.
The following is my conclusion. Each day, millions of consumers share millions of videos to TikTok. Dangerous information could exploit the only machines reviewing the system’s flaws, and human review isn’t feasible in this situation. As a result, TikTok’s principal algorithm for screening video content is duo-review.
Peak Hours Of Traffic
If one material cloud survives the dataflow funnels, the developer’s profile will get overwhelming visibility, user engagements, and fans. However, according to the analysis, the maximum exposure duration window is relatively small. The window generally lasts about a week. Ever since this time frame, this material and profile would become less popular, and succeeding videos would be brutal to get famous.
Why?
The key reason is that TikTok intends to diversify its algorithms and eliminate unintended bias. As a result of this architecture, the recommendation algorithm will not be biased toward a specific material, ensuring that new content has an equal chance of entering the famous pool.
Data And Specifications
First and foremost, Data. To put it another way, the suggested model is a formula that matches a user’s happiness with UGC(User Generated Content). Therefore, the method necessitates the input of three-dimensional data. The following are a few things for your reference and for future insights.
User Data: Specialty labels, profession, gender, age, demography, and other user information are examples. It also contains latent information derived from machine learning-based consumer clustering.
Scenario Data: The information monitors the use situation and how the user’s choices change as the situation changes. For instance, what video style does a user prefer to view when at work, traveling, or commuting daily?
Content Data: TikTok is a network with a lot of user-generated material. Every sort of content has its characteristics, which the system ought to be able to recognize and discriminate to provide a trustworthy recommendation.
Final Thoughts
TikTok is a well-known app with millions of monthly active users worldwide. It is an online networking software that enables people to take and upload files of up to 60 seconds in length. Mash-ups, Humorous Videos, Duets, and other clips could be uploaded via the application.
TikTok offers a structure that makes it simpler for individuals to produce, mainly if they are stuck for ideas. Now you see how beneficial TikTok may be for your company’s marketing. The quantity of viewers has been steadily expanding, and many firms have begun to employ TikTok for commercial reasons. It’s a terrific moment to begin utilizing TikTok marketing as a way and reap the rewards right away.
Africa is constantly working to achieve higher quality education. In fact, money spent on education is set to reach $640 billion by 2030, from $224 billion in 2021. A big reason for the rise of education is also a rise in technology — from the availability of mobile phones to the number of EdTech companies that are introducing innovations. Because of this, EdTech is also expected to skyrocket, projected to reach $57 billion by 2030.
For international EdTech companies that are looking to enter the African market, like Russia’s K-Platform, Kenya can serve as a gateway. Known as Silicon Savannah, this region is one of the most technologically advanced places in Africa. Kenya also houses various EdTech startups, such as Craydel and M-Shule. However, there are also a number of other EdTech companies throughout Africa that are pushing to make high-quality education accessible to more people. Below are some of them:
Pan-African Tech Foundation
The Pan-African Tech Foundation, or PATF, is an organization that aims to increase the mass adoption of technologies in Africa by educating the youth. Recently, they partnered with Input Output Global, or IOG, a tech company best known for engineering and research in blockchain. Together, they plan to partner with tech universities and hubs in Ghana to select 80 students for a course they’ll be teaching. Their students will learn the Haskell programming language — which is a precise and secure programming language used in industries where high accuracy is required, such as in aerospace, defense, and finance.
Ghana is moving to digitize the economy, and the Bank of Ghana is also working towards a blockchain-based digital currency. Those who finish the course will have the skills to assist in this change. This is thanks to their training in building smart contracts that are being heavily used in financial technology. In addition to this, the best students will be offered job opportunities at IOG.
Bridge International Academies
Bridge International Academies has a number of schools in Nigeria. It leverages technologies that are designed to use low amounts of data. They also have resources that are easily available to students since they can be accessed through platforms that are already integrated into the school management and engagement system. This makes them suitable for low infrastructure and limited connectivity environments. Some of the free resources Bridge International offers are mobile interactive quizzes, audio lessons, and virtual classrooms.
The effort to make education more accessible to underprivileged children has resulted in various accomplishments — which are shown on Bridge International’s Facebook page. For instance, students from Bridge Nigeria scored 37% more than the national merit rate in 2021’s end of primary school Common Entrance Exams. This means more students have gained the opportunity to be admitted into top unity schools through merit.
Ambani Africa
Ambani Africa is an interactive African-language-based early childhood EdTech — and the winner of 2021’s I’M IN Accelerator, which is a program that helps startups grow. Creator Mukundi Lambani talks about the Ambani Africa app, saying it was made to solve the gap in easily accessible digital resources for African language learning. This is especially useful for young students who are taught English in schools despite coming from African households. Ambani Africa helps young African learners phase learn African languages. The app is learner-centered, using games to practice.
Having won the cash prize from the program, Lambani plans to use it to improve its web gaming platform and free gaming app. The funds will also help her team strengthen internal capabilities to get more funding and reach milestones that can help Ambani Africa be recognized internationally.
Are you glad you didn’t have a biscuit tin of bitcoin at home?
Is this the end?
No. We all know how volatile crypto prices are and this kind of price crash has happened before. Previous crashes have been followed by price increases that more than made up for the losses. After the 2018 crash, it did take three years, but prices have always recovered in the past.
Crypto is the Future
Cryptocurrencies are not supervised by national banks such as the Bank of Ghana (BOG). Trading is not licensed by the BOG and if you are scammed or otherwise lose your money, you have no comeback.
The e-Cedi is coming. The BOG is testing a new national cryptocurrency, but it will be a few years yet before the e-Cedi goes mainstream.
Why Should You Buy Crypto in Ghana?
In one word, inflation.
Inflation happens when central banks print more money.
Inflation is like a hole in your pocket. Every day the cedi in your wallet buys less. Inflation might be lower than it was a few years ago, but that is little comfort when you have increasing bills to pay each month.
Digital currencies are not controlled by politicians or central banks. Nobody can decide to release more coins in response to an economic or political crisis. Cryptocurrencies are seen as inflation-proof.
Crypto Today
Do you have to wait for the e-Cedi? No.
It is perfectly legal to buy Bitcoin, Ether, or any other digital currency in Ghana. To minimise risk, you should avoid new cryptocurrencies because the risk of fraud is higher there.
In the past, crypto values have trended upwards. It has not been a smooth curve, and values could crash at any time. If you buy when values are high, your coins may be less valuable in the short term, but in a few years, they might be worth more. Nobody can say the same for the cedi, dollar, or pound – They will definitely be worth less every year.
Crypto Investing
Crypto investors buy coins and aim to keep them. It is better to buy when prices are depressed after a crash. Sadly, many people buy when they see headlines of record values when price falls are more likely before the upward trend restarts. You don’t need $47,000 to buy a whole bitcoin. You can buy tiny fractions of coins. All you need is a digital wallet to keep them in. A wallet is a kind of crypto account where you store all your coins.
Crypto Trading
Crypto traders buy coins and sell them the same day. They may only hold them for a few minutes or hours, never even overnight.
Anyone in Ghana can try crypto trading. All you need is a few hundred cedis, a phone or computer, and an internet connection.
Many crypto traders never own any coins. They aim to make money using CFDs (Contracts for Difference). When you take out a CFD you predict whether the crypto will go up or down. If your prediction is correct, you can make a profit (there are costs and charges to take into account). If your prediction is wrong you make a loss.
A reputable crypto platform will encourage you to limit your potential loss using a ‘stop-loss’ option.
You can buy shares of companies that hold large amounts of cryptocurrency (Tesla stands out here.), or you can buy stocks that are involved with blockchain and crypto technology.
If you go this route you risk everything if you only hold one or two stocks.
Blockchain ETFs (Exchange traded funds) are another alternative for the investor with limited funds. The ETF holds shares in blockchain-related companies, so when you buy ETF shares you own a small part of those assets and your risk is less than it would be if you only hold a few stocks directly.
Over to You
Cryptocurrencies are volatile and values go down as well as up.
Should you buy crypto coins? Perhaps. With prices lower than they were a few weeks ago it could make sense to buy now rather than when prices reach their next peak. However, you should be prepared to tie up your investment for at least a few years, and you could still lose money if the price falls further.
CFDs are offer you another way to get into crypto, but CFDs have their own risks, and require a lot of research before you start trading.
ETFs are another option if you want exposure to crypto price growth but your funds are limited.
Many farmers, investors, and other participants in agricultural business today adhere to the idea that the health of the soil is just as important as the health of the crops growing on it. The state of the soil has not been given adequate attention for centuries, so now the study of its biology is essential. Furthermore, defining a type of soil and taking various measures to improve its health provides many benefits. In this article, you will learn about five startups working to improve the soil in agriculture.
EOS Data Analytics
EOS Data Analytics has created Crop Monitoring, an online satellite platform for precision farming. This product offers farmers and other agribusinesses the ability to manage fields remotely. With the help of Crop Monitoring, farmers can observe the condition of crops, reduce scouting costs, and leverage satellite-driven data to increase precision of soil analysis for the rational and efficient use of fertilizers and seeds.
The product allows for a more tailored approach to land use by providing data on various field’s characteristics, such as elevation, productivity, soil moisture levels, nutrient requirements, and more. Crop Monitoring makes use of satellite imagery to identify problem areas within a field of any size, as well as in multiple fields at once. Vegetation maps and productivity maps enable variable rate application of seeds, pesticides, and fertilizers, thus saving money and resources. A 14-day weather forecast and historical weather data available since 2006 assist with planning field activities to ensure higher yields at lower costs. The platform is also compatible with the field machinery, allowing you to import data (including VRA maps) right into tractors and combines.
Cool Planet
Cool Planet is the manufacturer of Cool Terra, a soil improvement product. This USDA approved product is based on biocarbon. Depending on the crop grown, farmers can use this product at different stages of growth. Cool Terra promotes the formation of a porous soil environment that contributes to reduced water consumption, increased nutrient levels, and soil microorganisms development. In addition, this product is capable of absorbing atmospheric carbon.
Land Life Company
Land Life Company efforts are aimed at restoring degraded soil. To this end, the company created the biodegradable product Cocoon. Using this product allows you to grow trees without water. Thus, trees can grow in places where the soil is depleted and not conducive to growth. The contents of this product provide a healthy environment for trees. It saturates the soil with nutrients and creates a suitable environment for soil microorganisms to live.
MicroGen Biotech
MicroGen Biotech has created a platform for soil restoration through microbial crop input. The company manufactures microbial products using its flagship Constructed Functional Microbiome technology. This product helps to improve soil health and increase yields. It is actively used in China, as land in many parts of this country is contaminated with cadmium and other heavy metals. Micron Biotech is in demand where the soil is so contaminated that the crops growing there could otherwise contain unacceptable amounts of harmful substances.
Trace Genomics
Trace Genomics has created a product that enables farmers to assess the condition of the soil before seeding. The product was tested in California on farms that grow lettuce and strawberries. Trace Genomics tests a microbiome to detect soil pathogens. With this product, farmers have the chance to find out potential soil productivity, optimize resources and yields, and make better decisions on soil tillage and crop selection.
Innovations in Soil Moisture Sensors
Agricultural producers have been using various technologies for decades to increase field productivity and yields. Technology is also helping farmers improve forecasting and streamline many processes. Farmers can improve their indoor and greenhouse irrigation and climate management with state-of-the-art software, data analysis, sensors, and other innovations. In addition, technologies are constantly evolving, and new advanced opportunities are revealed for agriculture. For example, it was quite challenging to control the temperature and determine the water content of the soil or substrate. However, the quality of the sensors has improved significantly in recent years.
Typically, sensors are connected to an irrigation system and transmit data based on set values about whether the plants need water. However, the electrical conductivity of the soil, or salinity as it is also called, often prevents capacitive sensors from obtaining accurate data. Nutrient solutions contain a large amount of salt, which significantly impacts obtaining accurate data. To date, sensors have been developed that do not depend on the electrical conductivity of the soil. They can measure and transmit data on the actual volumetric water content regardless of the soil salinity.
A premium smartphone brand focused on global emerging markets, TECNO, outlined an array of its latest technologies and achievements at a webinar entitled “Global Mobile Camera Trends 2022: Innovation Talk”. One eye-catching development was the use of Sensor Shift, which will improve stability OF photos and video imaging.
First Runner in Android- TECNO Build Innovation in Sensor Shift
Currently, short videos on social media and live streaming are gaining popularity among the youth around the world, a more stable camera will enable users produce studio-quality videos for a more fun social networking and sharing.
In the face of the growing demand for imaging stability by users, TECNO plans to release a Sensor Shift technology in its new products in 2022, making it the first mobile phone brand with the Android system to do so.
TECNO Sensor Shift
Sensor Shift stabilizes images using sensor movements to compensate vibrations rather than using lens movements as in existing cameras. TECNO has broken through a technical barrier via an innovative circular plane design for FPC, realizing sensor movement on the roll axis, an advanced step forward from movement on the X- and Y-axis. During the simulation, it demonstrated 30% better augmentation in stress performance than the traditional vertical design. Furthermore, TECNO R&D team realized another 60% anti-shaking effect enhancement by optimizing the test environment and software.
Compared to conventional Optical Imaging Stabilisation, TECNO’s sensor shift technology can achieve a response frequency of 5,000 adjustments per second. In addition, further algorithm optimization will be used to improve the control accuracy of the technology to 350% of the current level, relieving consumers from having to worryabout the occasional hand jitter resulting in blurry images.
TECNO is committed to continuous innovation, developing professional cameras for photography and videography, and empowering consumers to express their lifestyle through the power of future lens.
Online casino games are on the up and up. Driven by accessibility, innovation, lucrative jackpots and alluring bonuses, the sector seems to go from strength to strength despite excessive, arbitrary regulation.
The simple fact is that people love to play online games whether on their phones or other devices. As such, everyday gamers are playing online games in places such as Tuskcasino among others. If you’re new to gaming or want to try something new, which online casino games you should try?
Poker
There probably isn’t a person on the planet that has not heard of poker. There are several variants and most casinos will offer you a good variety of games. Like blackjack, poker has been immortalised in films and TV shows for decades. It is one of the few games where you can have sharks that can prey on the not so experienced.
When you play poker you can’t help but feel the tension. The live play is proving particularly popular for this reason.
Slots
Online slots are hugely popular. The variation in the games is considerable and they are enjoyed by a diverse group of players. The game’s genius is that slots are very easy to understand and play. The colours, graphics and ever-improving graphical user interface, makes it great fun when you play online slots and always want to come back for more.
Blackjack
Blackjack is one of the most famous card games in the world. It is featured in every kind of casino whether it be online, physical, or live play. There are a few variations in the game as well which gives it a nice twist.
Like slots, it is a very easy game to understand and play and if you know what you’re doing you can often do well at the table. Live blackjack is gaining in popularity all the time.
Roulette
Roulette is almost hypnotic as you watch the ball bounce around the wheel. It gets even more enticing when you have a chance of winning big. These are just a few of the reasons roulette is one of the most famous games in the world.
Most online casinos offer both the American and European versions of the game. The American version of the game features a ‘00’ as well as a ‘0’. If you shop around you’ll find the right version for you. You may want to check out the live version which removes the random number generator element.
Baccarat
If you ever read a James Bond novel you’ll know that baccarat is his game. Casino Royale was a baccarat tournament in the book rather than poker that was featured in the film.
In a traditional casino, baccarat is the game of the high roller. In the real game, the complex betting system before the 3rd card is drawn can be hard to follow. In the online version, a lot of this is handled for you so you just have to manage your bets.
If you see a Punto Banco game this is just another word for baccarat. So grab your Vodka Martini and enjoy.
Craps
The famous dice game is growing in popularity in Europe and Asia almost to rival the U.S where the game originates from. Traditionally, the game live is quite rowdy with plenty of banter helping the drinks flow and the dice roll.
Online, this doesn’t really happen although with the advent of live play the online and the traditional may align further.
Sports Betting
Not really a casino game but you can have a great night betting on your team and or favourite sport. You may want to take a look at this style of gaming paying close attention to in-play betting as this can make for a very exciting evening.
Where to Play
Your selection of where to play is important. You want a casino that offers good bonuses including sign up and deposit bonuses, together with good jackpots. You’re playing for real money so you want one that is going to pay out well.
The other factor to look for is reviews ensuring that it uses licensed gaming software that meets a proper standard, and that it is properly regulated. You don’t want to lose your money in a scam.
You may want to take a look at live play. This is where live croupiers are streamed often in HD quality. This heightened gameplay can add a lot to your experience.
If you’re new to the casino world you may want to use the practice game facility to perfect your strategy and become familiar with the rules of the game. This can minimise losses and maximise your wins which is great.
Online casinos are great fun and when you find one you like you’ll have a great experience. Try some of the games on this list and you’ll make the most of them. There is nothing quite like online gaming and hopefully, you’ll score a few jackpots.
