Google Photo App Labels Black Couple As ‘Gorillas’

An artificial intelligence software by Google has mistakenly described African-American computer programmer Jacky Alcine and his friend as “GORILLAS.”

On Monday, Mr Alcine, of Brooklyn, New York, spotted the egregious blunder.

In a series of tweets to Google, he said:

“Google Photos, y’all f***** up. My friend’s not a gorilla.”

He added: “The only thing under this tag is my friend and I being tagged as a gorilla.”

Mr Alcine also remarked: “What kind of sample image data you collected that would result in this son?”He received a response from Google’s chief social architect Yonatan Zunger later that day, who rendered a heartfelt apology on behalf of the organization.

“This is 100 percent not okay,” said Mr Zunger, promising a fix later that evening.

Google said in a statement:

“We’re appalled and genuinely sorry that this happened.

We are taking immediate action to prevent this type of result from appearing.

There is still clearly a lot of work to do with automatic image labeling, and we’re looking at how we can prevent these types of mistakes from happening in the future.”

The Google Photos application, launched in May, uses an automatic tagging tool to help organise uploaded images and make searching easier.

One person on Twitter dubbed it “the first instance of A.I. racism”.

EKWEREMADU TO APC: LEAVE ME ALONE

Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu, yesterday, called on leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to leave members of the National Assembly and face governance challenges staring it in the face.
He said rather than wasting time on who occupies what position in the National Assembly, the APC-led government should initiate policies that would better the lives of Nigerians.
Since his emergence as deputy Senate president on June 9, Ekweremadu, a member of the minority Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been criticised by some APC senators, who argued that his election was in breach of rules of the Senate.
But Ekweremadu, who spoke during a courtesy call by the Coalition of Election Observers, said his election was in accordance with the Standing Order of the Senate.
He said senators would not be distracted by any outside influence, hinting that the 8th Senate would come up with legislations that would benefit Nigerians, including an amendment of the Electoral Act for more credible elections in 2019.
He said: “We are about to form legislative agenda for the 8th Senate. This will include electoral reforms.”
Leader of the coalition, Nwambu Gabriel, said that Ekweremadu’s emergence as deputy Senate president in an APC-dominated Senate was an indication that Nigeria’s democracy was growing.
He said there was nothing wrong in having Ekweremadu as deputy Senate president because that has been the practice in developed democracies.

Have you seen the viral photos of this bearded bride?

Meet, Harnaam Kaur,  the lady with beards!

While growing up in the UK, Harnaam Kaur was teased relentlessly from nursery right through to high school for having facial hair.

Kaur suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition in which an imbalance in hormones causes excess hair growth (affecting approximately one in 10 pre-menopausal women around the world).

As a result, she started growing a beard when she was 11.

She was bullied as a child because of her facial hair and at one point attempted to take her life.

Now she is 24.

 24-year-old Harnaam has since embraced her body hair sporting a full beard and letting nature take its course.

She decided enough was enough and embraced herself, imperfection and all. Most people find her confidence inspiring while others want it shaved. 

She recently did a wedding photoshoot with British photographer Louisa Coulthurst who said she was impressed by Harnaam’s attitude and beauty. Beautiful woman!

5 Reasons Why Coke Is Bad For Your Health

People who often take coke, I got this article for you! Do enjoy and thank me later. Enjoy reading. .

This is what any doctor will advise you to do:

The chemicals and sugar contained in fizzy drinks ruin your health. They are addictive and getting rid of this bad habit is not that easy. Do not drink Coke if you want to stay fit and healthy.

Though diet colas are calorie-free, they may do more harm than good for dieters. In 2011, a University of Texas research study found that over the course of a decade, diet-soda drinkers gained considerably more belly fat than those who didn’t drink diet sodas. Diet soda may also contribute to elevated blood-glucose levels and Type 2 diabetes. To find a satisfying substitute for diet cola, consider what you like most about the drink. Whether you crave the fizz, caffeine, flavor or ritual of a drink break, other options will fulfill your cravings and do more for your health and well-being.

Bad teeth

Cavities occur when we consume too many sugary and acidic foods and drinks. Coke is no exception. It contains both and ruins the enamel. To fix the problem will cost you money. Dental work is never cheap. Of course, you can try and brush your teeth after drinking sodas, but the smarter choice is to avoid them and drink water instead.

Risk of diabetes

Carbs is another name for sugars. Most foods contain a lot of carbs. Pouring Coke on top will only make the problem worse. It takes only 20 minutes to increase your blood sugar. It’s extremely hard to treat diabetes hence we suggest you should stop drinking all brands of sodas, Coke included.

Poor metabolism

Do not trust commercials where you see famous sportsmen drinking Coke after a training session. You will keep piling up pounds merely by drinking Coke because sugary sodas slow down your metabolism and your body does not burn fat as efficiently. Drink plain water!

Aspartame affects inner organs

Aspartame is still being studied. It is known to cause a lot of diseases. It does not really matter which type of Coke you opt for – you are ruining your body anyways.

Coke affects fertility

Regular consumption of Coke might have a negative impact on your reproductive system. The chemicals that most fizzy drinks contain lead to defects in your organs that are responsible for reproduction.

PDP rejects Zakari as Acting INEC chair

 The appointment of Mrs. Amina Zakari as the Acting Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday approved Mrs Zakari’s appointment in acting capacity pending the appointment of a substantive chairman for the commission.

Zakari replaced Prof. Attahiru Jega who retired as the INEC chairman at the expiration of his five-year tenure.

Speaking at a news conference in Abuja yesterday, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Chief Olisa Metuh, alleged that the acting INEC chairman “is too close to the Presidency”.

Metuh challenged Mrs. Zakari to state her alleged closeness to the Presidency and one of the governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from one of the states in the Northwest.

Mrs. Zakari, who was one of the national commissioners in INEC until her new appointment, was appointed into that office by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Metuh said: “The PDP has declared the appointment of Mrs. Amina Zakari as unacceptable and demand that President Buhari changes her immediately.

“The PDP is particularly disturbed by the development in INEC where President Buhari, who knew all along that the immediate-past INEC Chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega would be leaving office by June 30, had to wait for him to handover to one of the national commissioners only to reverse it immediately, thereby injecting bad blood in the commission.

“The situation in INEC since the PDP government reformed and granted it operational autonomy has been peaceful, but Tuesday’s untidy overruling of Prof. Jega and appointing of Mrs. Amina Zakari as acting chairman which, we gathered was influenced by personal relationship with the Presidency and one of the new governors of the North West, ostensibly to pave the way for the APC at the electoral tribunals, has completely eroded public trust in the commission.

“Whereas the PDP recognises the right and powers of the President to appoint the Chairman of INEC and the Accountant General of the Federation (AGF), we reject attempts as in the case of the AGF to paint the process as transparent and objective when such was not the case, but brought to question the sincerity and commitment of the present administration to due process.

“In INEC, the PDP states in unequivocal terms that we cannot, as critical stakeholders fold our hands and watch while the Presidency perpetuates actions that diminish the independence of the electoral commission.

“Our reasons include the fact that due process was not observed in the appointment and that Mrs. Zakari has shown in the last elections that she is manifestly bias in favour of the APC. Finally, her appointment is a clear case of nepotism. “

Ariyike Akinbobola fixes the flooded Ajah road(photos)

Media Personality and Vlogger Ariyike Akinbobola has done the needful.The you tube star, posted this on instagram page:

 "It’s a new month and that gives you the opportunity to start off on a good note. So our once water free road has become a River and no one in the hood is bothered. Many Nigerians are really not big on maintenancett The average Nigerian would only get up and do something after his Car gets stuck inside the water. No? So I decided to take it upon myself to sort it out cos at the end of the day, if my Car gets spoilt, my Mechanic will have a feast on top my matter. To cut the long story short, I knew I had to fill this road so I called different suppliers of broken blocks and the different prices I got almost discouraged me. 

Some called 5 tonnes of broken blocks for 20k, others 15k until my friend Elizabeth who is a supplier of building materials gave me one “Oloye’s” number. He gave me the best deal at 9k for 5 tonnes so I placed my order for 10 tonnes at 18, 000 naira. The next picture I will post will be after the trailers have poured the broken blocks inside this my River Road. This is just to show you that you can do your own bit in contributing to your Community and guess what? 

You will benefit from it and others will also benefit. My Comfort is very important to me and I realised that most times it doesn’t cost a fortune to live a comfortable life. Let’s stop waiting for the Government or our neighbours to do everything. If one neighbour has been the one doing something on your street then you better begin to contribute. Look for ways to improve your Communities because at the end of the day, you will enjoy the ammenities you provide and if you don’t provide those ammenities, you will suffer great discomfort. My talk talk is too much jor. Happy new month Lovers, go out there and make a difference. #AriyikeAkinbobola #Makeadifference #Communitydevelopment #Lagos #Lagosstate #Ekoonibaje #Change"

 

Wowza!!! I spot an Okada driving smoothly on my street. These are the things that make me smile. Road all fixed and sorted by God Almighty through moi. Now everyone can enjoy the use of this road because the Akinbobolas decided to make a difference. If you don’t understand, pls check out my last posts. #Makeadifference #Communitydevelopment #Change 

Well done and bravo!

Meet The Man With The Largest Mouth In The World (Photos)

An Indian man vies for the position of the man with the largest mouth in the world and the unbelievable way he stuffs large items in his mouth has called for a massive attention.

His name is Dinesh Upadhyaya and he happens to be a science teacher from Mumbai. At his leisure time, he specialises in stuffing large objects in his mouth to amaze surrounding people and onlookers who reportedly take photographs.

He has already broken 48 records by holding 92 pencils, 79 grapes, 12 lit candles, five golf balls in his mouth. And he is not going to stop, this time he put 1,001 straws into his mouth and hold them for a minute. Mr Upadhyaya, who is nicknamed Maximouth said:

“My dream is to break all possible mouth stuffing records as soon as possible. To enhance my mouth stuffing capacity, I practice yoga and breathing exercises regularly. I also massage my facial muscles and using fingers I try to stretch the opening of my mouth as much as possible.

"I repeat this for up to ten minutes to make my cheek rubber-like. At first I could only fit 50 in my mouth. I went through the most painful experience. But I was confident enough to break this record and soon, with practice, I increased my mouth stretching capacity and was able to fit more than 70 pencils.”

An lthough Mr Upadhyaya undoubtedly has an abnormally large mouth, Francisco Domingo Joaquim from Angola, whose mouth measures 17 cm, holds the official title for the ‘World’s Widest Mouth’ affirmed by the Guinness Book of World Records.
  

Check out the pictures taken to see if the science teacher truly has a point to prove.

Karrueche Tran says Her Father Is Gay But She Never Told Anybody About It

Chris Brown’s former girlfriend – Karrueche Tran has open up about her father gay relationship.    In an interview with Madame Noire, Karrueche exclusively told the website that one thing she thinks she has never told anybody is that her father is gay.

  According to her, she knew this when she was in elementary school. As she puts it; “I knew something was different and I don’t know how I even knew what gay was, being so young”.

Giving reason why she refused to tell anybody about it, she said she didn’t realize that that was not necessarily normal.

She added that, watching Caitlyn Jenner’s documentary was a bit emotional for her personally due to similarities in their journeys.  Karrueche ended up offering advice to the Jenner girls on how to deal with their father’s transition.

Read and watch exactly what Karrueche said below:

“I don’t think I’ve ever told anybody this but my father is gay,” Karrueche told us exclusively.”I think I never told anybody just because I don’t realize that that’s not necessarily normal. I live my life as me so it’s just like ‘oh that’s my dad.’ But when I tell people sometimes, they’re like, ‘Really? That’s kind of interesting.’

“I knew from like middle school, even elementary school. I knew something was different and I don’t know how I even knew what gay was, being so young. I think when you’re younger you catch on to things and you kind of get the hang of it. I’ve just kind of always known and then as I grew older we had certain talks with my mom and it was just what it was.”
