Launch of the Enterprise Breeding System (EBS) an open-source breeding informatics software developed for crop breeding programs serving resource-poor farmers in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
Day 1, 19 April, 2022. Photo by IITA.
We landed, and by the time we taxied to the terminal, and all the other stuff, it as ten before we got off, then walking miles and miles to the immigration hall, where more forms to fill in, biometric data taken, and then we could present ourselves, our passports, our visas and declaration form for scrutiny, and then after stamping the passport, we were allowed in.
We had to wait at baggage claim for the others, our bags were already waiting, then we could all go into the arrivals hall and look for our agent.
Who wasn’t there.
At first.
We he did arrive, he led us outside, into the blistering heat, along a walkway to a booth to wait for the bus to arrive. The others were thrilled to have a family of Minah birds close to photograph. I skipped this.
Our vintage bus arrived, we loaded the bags on board, climbed up the steps and into the seats. The air con was turned up to full, and we moved off.
The exit was through well manicured gardens and lawns, with a small army of guys snipping and strimming. This was as a contrast to when a few minutes later, we left through the main gate and onto a main road, which was lined with litter-strewn verges and scrub. In some places worse than others, but where back, was terrible.
Also terrible was the traffic, with a cacophony of horns soundtracking this, and I suspect every, journey. With cars, buses, trucks, tuk-tuks and mopeds all vying for space on the road.
The bus hit every pot hole and gap in areas of the road, juddering us all the time.
Each junction the bus forced its way out, to yet more horn toots.
We saw every aspect of modern Indian life on the way, from those living under bridges or in parks, people with stalls selling brightly coloured crisps and bottles of pop, to houses and mansions.
All to a soundtrack of angry horns.
We arrived at the hotel, lurching across two lanes of traffic as the security gates opened, and we entered air-conditioned luxury.
We had to do nothing, except walk off the buss into the hotel, our luggage was carried for us, we just had to identify ours and it was taken to our rooms, we were given a drinks, and all the while, all staff bowed to us.
The lobby was huge, all gleaming marble and fresh flower displays. While we waited to be allocated rooms, we went for lunch, which as I also suspect will be every meal, a buffet.
Dahl, curry, vegetables and fruit for desert. All very tasty.
Noting planned for the afternoon, so once we had our room keycards, we went upstairs, and like the others in our group, tried to sleep for a few hours.
We woke at half five, sun was setting and we were party rested. A shower and change of clothes helped make us feel human again, so at half six we could go down to meet the others and go for dinner.
It was happy hour in the bar, buy one, get one free, so the beers went down well, before we went back to the restaurant for another buffet meal.
Back into the bar, where we made friends with a former New York City judge, John, who is on a Grand Tour of India, Nepal and Greece. In the background, the IPL played out, with players from round the world in snazzy kits smashing the ball all over the place.
It looked exciting.
We went to bed at half ten, with me clutching a free beer the barman insisted I was owed, hiding it from the duty manager who had a gaze like Medussa.
Moving away from phobias, I looked at identification, more specifically methods of biometric identification. These pieces are variations of a lino print that I did. In the print fingerprint patterns and iris patterns are the man focus. Both fingerprints and eyes are used as a form of biometric identification. In the first picture I placed paper on top of the lino cut and then rubbed using graphite onto the paper. I then used an airbrush to create the background. In the second image I printed onto ink stained acetate which I then placed on a collage of brown paper, white card and newspaper. In the third image, which I'm most pleased with, I printed onto a piece of fabric which I then covered with a sheet of red ink stained acetate. In the final image, I printed directly on the newspaper, and then placed the print on top of a collage of tissue papers. Although the print remains constant, the colour schemes of each piece are different. This represents different identities and differences amongst all humans, despite all having the same foundations.
Biometric turnstile is a kind of pedestrian turnstile gate integrated with a variety of biometric equipment such as a fingerprint scanner, face recognition camera, etc. In this way, the pedestrian turnstile gate has diversified identification methods, realizes various functions, and meets the use needs of various occasions. According to different identification methods, the pedestrian turnstile gate can be divided into turnstile gate with card reader, QR code turnstile, biometric turnstile. Today, we’ll mainly learn about biometric turnstile.
mairsturnstile.com/biometric-turnstile.html
Say it in more detail, the biometric turnstile is based on the traditional intelligent turnstile gate, which adds a variety of biotechnology such as fingerprint recognition, finger vein recognition, face recognition, palm vein recognition, and iris recognition, so as to make the turnstile gate diversified identification methods and meet the needs of different occasions. For example, if the biometric turnstile is used for airport security inspection, you can show your ID and boarding pass and pass through the self-service turnstile gate. Compared with the traditional boarding process, the biometric turnstile can greatly shorten the waiting time.
The biometric identification method is characterized by identifying the biometrics of the passing people, with high reliability. For example, the face recognition method uses visible light to obtain face image information. During the movement of pedestrians, the camera can actively capture the pedestrian’s face information and quickly identify the pedestrian’s traffic authority. Biometric turnstiles in different places use different identification methods, some use a single identification method, and some use multiple combinations.

Question to ChatGPT "summarise the text below and highlight any personal information concerns:"
Personal Information & Privacy Concerns
High-impact concerns
Biometric data collection: Use of facial recognition involves sensitive biometric information, which carries higher privacy and misuse risks.
Extensive surveillance: Continuous video and audio monitoring of movements may raise concerns about proportionality and informed consent.
Data linking: Linking Wi-Fi/device data (MAC addresses, location, movement) with existing personal records increases tracking and profiling risks.
Overseas data transfers: Sharing data internationally may reduce control and legal protection depending on the recipient country’s privacy laws.

Collecting sensitive personal information
Sensitive personal information is information or an opinion about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions or memberships, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, sexual preferences, criminal record, health information, genetic information or membership of a trade union.

For example:
when you request or access medical assistance;
if you tell us you have specific dietary requirements relating to your religious beliefs; or
where we collect health information from you before performing a treatment at Crown Spa.
