#GOOGLE OPENS FIRST DEVELOPER SPACE IN #LAGOS Google has launched its first Google Developers Space in Lagos, #Nigeria, a hub for African #developers, #entrepreneurs, and #startups. #JulietEhimuan, Country Director at #GoogleNigeria, explained that the space was the next step in Google’s support for developers across the continent, stressing that the tech company’s initial commitment to training developers across Africa had been met. “This space is the next step to our support for developers across the continent. From our #commitment to training 100,000 developers across Africa and the launch of developer merchant support in the Google Play store, making it possible for developers to earn money through apps they build. We are excited to continue our journey with the African startup and developer communities,” Ehimuan said. Google Developers Space, previously referred to as the Google Launchpad Space, is specifically designed to create an environment that fosters collaboration and innovation. According to CEO Sundar Pichai, the goal is to support the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Africa and the space serves as a house to efforts from the Launchpad Accelerator Africa program in line with a pledge he made in July 2017. The development gives African startups and women in tech the opportunity to come together under a hub to discuss the potentiality of technology in #Africa. The hub would facilitate training and support developer meetups, experts office hours, women in tech, startup programs (outside of #Launchpad), as well as partner events that support the wider entrepreneur and developer ecosystem. It would also ensure empowering people through digital skill training, Google said. Highlighting the achievements from the Launchpad Accelerator Africa thus far, the #CEO revealed that the program has worked with 47 startups since the first class kicked off early 2018. “These companies have raised millions of dollars in investments and created over nine hundred jobs across the continent,” he said. Google’s Launchpad Africa has accelerated startups from 17 African countries so far including #Algeria, #Botswana, #Cameroon, #CôteD’Ivoire, #Egypt, #Ethiopia, #Ghana, #Kenya https://ift.tt/2TXpTUs

#Jollofrice with mackerel and carrot jam at D.C.’s Kith and Kin #kithandkinDC Kith/Kin at the InterContinental Washington D.C. – The Wharf Everyone in the restaurant should have on their table one of his variations of jollof rice. He cooks the grains in #Nigerian red stew, a dish that Chef Onwuachi @bastedmind compares to an Italian-American grandmother’s Sunday gravy in its home-country belovedness. His version includes tomato, red pepper, fermented #habanero sauce (also served as a condiment), toasted curry powder, and (crucial) #MaggiCube, a bouillon brand out of the #MiddleEast that’s ubiquitous in #WestAfrica. Jollof comes in two ways: underneath mackerel that’s been rubbed with jerk spices and lit by a bright jam of carrot juice, pickling liquid, ginger, and garlic, or overlaid with steak and a thick, gentle crab stew that I want to scarf separately in a large bowl. Both are rewarding; both show off Onwuachi’s love for this food and the devoted steps he takes to stack flavor atop flavor. #AfroCaribbean #foodporn #world #roti #beardfoundation #missionmichelin https://ift.tt/2CP7RL5

Share this event #InternGala DATE AND TIME Fri, Jul 27, 2018, 8:30 PM – Sat, Jul 28, 2018, 2:00 AM PDT Location LOCATION Melrose Market Studios 1532 Minor Ave Seattle, WA 98101 Class has died with the latest generation, especially since the advent of that #intern party that shall not be named. Don't despair though, we will attempt to revive it. We'd like to formally introduce: The Intern Gala™: #Speakeasy. We know you probably have a quite a few questions, namely "What the hell is a #gala?", "Why don't you just call it a party?" and most importantly "Will it be lit?". Luckily, we have a #FAQ for your convenience! We are going underground (literally) for the theme this year to celebrate the end of prohibition, paying tribute to those who drank even when it wasn’t cool: “Speakeasy”. The party will start at 8:30pm, purposefully so you all can arrive fashionably late at 9pm. Speaking of fashion – the attire: fancy. That’s right! Tech guys, you have pull out the one dusty button down and girls, you can finally dress up for something. Grab yourself a fancy #cocktail that you can’t normally afford and that weird shrimp quiche - because all drinks and #horsd’oeuvres are included in your ticket price! Finally, the first wave of tickets will go on sale July 17th at 6pm (more info about this first wave in the discussion section). After you’ve danced your heart out till 1 – 2am, our very professional underground establishment closes shop. Bedtime is at 3am after a deep discussion, and a joint, with those friends you've made while living in a hotel, or for the less fortunate, the #UW dorms. by #KyleZappitell http://tiny.cc/64wzvy #MSFT #internship #campuslife #Seattle #PNW #Summer https://ift.tt/2NJi5j6

5 ways unsuccessful people #network #Networking truly is an art. If you don’t talk enough, you could be perceived as cold or aloof. If you talk too much, you could be considered unprofessional or self-interested. To do it right, it may help to learn from those who do it exactly wrong. Here’s what unsuccessful people do when networking. 1- They talk all about themselves No one wants to hear you wax #poetic about every single one of your accomplishments — or worse, constantly name drop. It gets really old, really fast. So don’t be that person. Make networking a two-way street. Instead, tell them what you do in a way that engages them, plus, ask real questions that show you’re interested in the person’s work and professional history. Think of ways that you might be of service to them in the future. 2- They stick with the same #group of people 3- They use one friend as a crutch the whole time 4- They talk negatively about people 5- They are unclear in networking emails CONTINUE READING: http://tiny.cc/qdukvy #career #internship #intern #advice #inspire #motivate #internup https://ift.tt/2zB7N2i

Be Famous for Something … and Other Advice for New Graduates Be famous for something. This is all about being recognized for your unique skills and expertise. It could be a technology, area of study, industry or anything you are passionate about mastering. But whatever that something is, it must be relevant. Over time, as your abilities and contributions grow, the recognition or “fame” you earn will give you the confidence and courage to increase your impact. Never stop learning. I know you’re just out of school, but for enduring success, school must always be in session ... especially in today’s digital world. The world has changed massively in a just a few years, creating serious problems for people and organizations that fail to keep up with change. Staying relevant is the name of the game. I believe that those with a passion for learning, who thrive on curiosity and new ideas, will be the success stories of this new world. Make innovation your mindset. If you lead with innovation, bringing creativity and fresh ideas to whatever you do, you will stand out. Innovation is indeed the currency of today. The great thing is, you can shape an innovation mindset quite easily. Start by asking yourself: What am I going to do differently today—to make something better … to challenge the status quo … to take people by surprise? Share your ideas with confidence and see where they take you. Embrace diversity. I am a strong believer that diversity is a key source of creativity and innovation. By surrounding yourself and collaborating with people of different backgrounds, cultures and experiences—each bringing their own unique and authentic point of view—you make yourself and everyone else better, smarter and stronger. Do the right thing. Ethics, values and good conduct are foundational to success. Because if we don’t approach life and work with integrity and respect for others, any achievements we attain simply won’t be as meaningful. Be a good person with good judgement so that you can truly be your best each day. SOURCE: https://ift.tt/2Jrpult https://ift.tt/2HxAfke
