Panel 4: INTEROPERABILITY: Understanding how to apply robust industry standards to harmonize electronic data exchange

28 - 30 October 2019 | FAO HQ, Rome, Italy ©FAO/Matteo Sala

A unique project—Jacob Collier’s first-ever college residency—brought together the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble, MIT’s Ben Bloomberg and other members of the MIT music community.

 

Collier’s music combines elements of jazz, a cappella, world, contemporary classical, pop, gospel, R&B and soul. He is well known for his viral YouTube videos, which have turned numerous legendary artists into fans, including Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, David Crosby, Jamie Cullum, Take 6 and Quincy Jones—now his manager/mentor.

 

In 2014, he began working with MIT’s Ben Bloomberg (a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab) who helped transform Collier’s video productions into live one-man-show performances. Bloomberg also designed and created a custom unique Vocal Harmonizer, which has provided Collier a vehicle to simultaneously combine his vocal and keyboard talents live.

 

Collier’s December residency at MIT—culminating with a major concert in Kresge Auditorium on December 10—involved several first-time elements. Collier and the MIT Festival Jazz Ensemble (FJE) with additional musicians presented the premiere of an experimental piece crafted by Collier. Several new big band arrangements of Collier’s music were also featured, two of which crafted by MIT alumnus Jamshied Sharifi and one by Collier himself. The concert included Collier performing some jazz standards with the FJE as well as some solo performances.

The impact of political and infrastructural investments under the New Silk Road on economic growth and harmonization between Europe and Asia was the issue discussed today at the Silk Road Effect Session of the World Economic Forum in Davos. The Prime Minister of Georgia addressed the participants of the session.

Giorgi Kvirikashvili emphasized the importance of Georgia’s engagement in the One Belt—One Road project initiative by the President of China. The project, according to the Prime Minister, is a great opportunity for ensuring development in its participant states.

“It is a network of different alternatives, and each of them is important to growth healthy and have healthy economy in Eurasia. This is about competition and cooperation at the same time. It is more about cooperation, however. As mentioned by President Aliyev, the Silk Road brings enormous opportunities, but there are certain prerequisites in order to get the most of it in order to leverage on the existing potential. First of all, it is, of course, infrastructure. Second is stability across countries. This is about cooperation, cross-border procedures, and unification of tariff systems. Of course, this is about political cooperation and has multifold dimensions,” the Prime Minister stated.

According to the Prime Minister, Georgia has already signed cooperation agreements with its partner states. The Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railroad project is nearing completion, being an important part of the Silk Road going through Georgia to Azerbaijan and Turkey.

In his speech, Giorgi Kvirikashvili emphasized the importance of the Anaklia Deep Sea Port project.

“We are launching the construction of one of the largest ports on the Black Sea, which is the Anaklia Seaport. We already have a winning consortium, a Georgian-American consortium, and they are looking for port operators in the region. We are modernizing our railway, increasing the speed of our railway. We are investing a lot in the road infrastructure. Of course, we are cooperating with other countries across the Silk Road. We already signed a cooperation agreement with China. We have completed free trade negotiations with China, and we will sign the free trade agreement in the nearest future. In a nutshell, the Silk Road is about borderless cooperation. It is very important to mention that this economy is not only about transportation. This is about manufacturing cooperation and logistics,” the Prime Minister said.

The session, which was dedicated to the opportunities offered by the New Silk Road, was attended by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Mongolian President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj.

As usual, the Davos Forum hosts heads of states and governments, global business leaders, scientists, economists, and political scientists. The slogan of this year’s forum is Responsible Leadership. Global political leaders and almost 1,000 large companies and organizations are participating in the forum. The Georgian delegation led by Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili consists of Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Giorgi Gakharia, Foreign Minister Mikheil Janelidze, and Head of Georgia’s Co-Investment Fund Giorgi Bachiashvili.

I've tweaked the heigh/scale of the tender, locomotive and coach. They harmonize a lot more now!

Within the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) there are nine GHS pictograms that can be used individually or together, as chemicals can often present more than one hazard. One chemical could have two-to-four pictograms, depending on the chemical’s hazards and specifics. For example, the chemical propane requires both the flame pictogram and the gas pressure pictogram, whereas the chemical octane will need to have the flame, health danger, acute toxic and environment GHS pictograms on the label. These GHS labels can be easily created using Brady’s MarkWare™ 3.8 Labeling Software and a GlobalMark®2 Industrial Label Printer (Multicolor or Color & Cut models).

A month ago I received my personal iPhone 7 - I got my business use iPhone 7+ today. Both iPhone 7 models deliver enhancements over Apple's iPhone 6/6s (which are the top selling smartphones in the world): a newly harmonized Home button and 3D Touch haptic user interface paired with an enhanced Taptic Engine actuator; Wide Color Retina HD Display; a significantly improved A10 Fusion Application Processor providing enhanced speed and efficiency, paired with 2GB (iPhone 7) or 3GB (iPhone 7+)of RAM and larger batteries (largest in the iPhone 7+) for an extra hour, two or three of use; new rear and FaceTime cameras and lenses with Optical Image Stabilization (in both cameras) for more detailed low light photos and smoother video; louder and crisper stereo speakers paired with Lightning and wireless audio connectivity that supports faster, feature-enhanced LTE Advanced mobile and MIMO WiFi; and new iP67 dust and liquid intrusion resistance.

 

A lot of work has gone into making 3D Touch smart, useful but unobtrusively inconspicuous. Apple has also enhanced the visible characteristics of its iPhone 7 Retina HD displays. Both iPhone 7 and 7+ feature radically enhanced displays with very high contrast ratios, very low reflectance and peak brightness levels above 700 nits. DisplayMate rated the new iPhone 7 Retina HD panels as "most color accurate display that we have ever measured." The displays on both models - as well as their cameras - also now support Wide Color as defined by the Digital Cinema Initiatives P3 color gamut specification. This extra color information isn't visible on most of today's PCs, notebooks, tablets or phones, but is of course displayed by iPhone 7 and 7 Plus (as well as my 27” iMac 5k and 9.7" iPad Pro).

 

Apple doesn't sell any laptops with support for P3 Wide Color - yet. What is interesting (especially for me as a professional photographer) is that until you experience Wide Color on a screen - you don't know what you’re not seeing. I am sure that in the future Wide Color will come to HDTVs and all Macs and iPads, so capturing images with your iPhone 7/7+ in 2016 with this expanded color palette capability means you'll see more vibrant memories of your kids, sunsets, travel photos and whatever else you like to take pictures of. By the way - Wide Color Gamut is part of what TV vendors are branding as "High Dynamic Range" - a well known “brand” for most serious photographers.

 

In this blog, I have posted some images of both my iPhone 7 and iPhone 7+, and my very first set of images captured with the iPhone 7+ that just arrived on my doorstep. Let me know what you think of the image quality produced with this device.

Two primary school buildings by Herman. Hertzberger, 1980-1983, Amsterdam

Grouped around a communal courtyard are three schools, the so-called Apollo schools, which harmonize with their surroundings because of their villa-like appearance. The Montessori School and Willemspark School were designed by Herman Hertzberger, the third school was designed by Liesbeth van der Pol. The two schools by Hertzberger are based on an identical basic scheme: a square, in the four corners of which are classrooms grouped around a central hall. By introducing variation in the detailing and through the positioning of the windows, the architect has given each school its own identity. The schools have been positioned so that the schoolyard is divided into a semi-public section and a more sheltered section; this latter area has been specially designed for small children. The infants have an entrance on the ground floor, beneath the exterior stairway. The entrances for the older children are situated above, on either side of a spacious hall which also functions as an auditorium. This space is used not only for performances, but also as a place where children can work individually or in groups. The plan functions in such a way that users and visitors are led via subtle transitions from the public street to the compact enclosed space in the school.
