World Social Media Day: A Celebration of Human Connection

June 30th, World Social Media Day, a global celebration of the power of social media to connect people from all over the world. Social media has become an integral part of our lives, and it has changed the way we communicate, learn, and share information. 

On this day, we can take a moment to reflect on the positive impact that social media has had on our world. Social media has helped us to stay connected with friends and family who live far away. It has given us a platform to share our thoughts and ideas with a wider audience. And it has allowed us to learn about different cultures and perspectives. 

Of course, social media is not without its challenges. It can be a breeding ground for misinformation and hate speech. And it can be addictive, leading to problems such as social isolation and anxiety. 

But overall, social media is a powerful tool that can be used for good. On World Social Media Day, let’s celebrate the ways in which social media has brought us closer together and made the world a smaller place. 

Here are some ways to celebrate World Social Media Day: 

  1. Connect with friends and family. Use social media to stay in touch with the people who matter most to you. Share photos, videos, and updates about your life.
  2. Learn about different cultures. Follow accounts that share content from around the world. Learn about different languages, customs, and traditions. 
  3. Give back to your community. Use social media to raise awareness about important issues. Donate to charities or volunteer your time. 
  4. Be positive and supportive. Social media can be a great place to spread positivity and support. Be kind to others and offer encouragement. 

Let’s all make World Social Media Day a day to celebrate the power of human connection!

Monolith Application: An Overview of Advantages and Disadvantages

Monolithic architecture is a traditional approach to building software applications that have been around for decades. It involves creating an application as a single unit, with all the different components tightly coupled and dependent on each other. While monolithic applications were once the norm, they are now being replaced by newer microservices architectures. However, monolithic applications still have their place, and in this blog, we will explore what a monolith is, its advantages, and disadvantages, and when it might be the right choice for your organization. 

What is a Monolith Application? 

A monolith application is a software application built as a single unit. It consists of a front-end, back-end, and database, all integrated into one codebase. All components of the application are tightly coupled, and any changes made to one component require changes to the entire application. Monolith applications can be written in any programming language and can be deployed to any environment. 

Advantages of Monolith Applications 

⦾ Simplicity: Monolithic architecture is simple and easy to understand. Since all components are integrated, it is easy to maintain and manage the application. 

⦾ Robustness: Monoliths are robust and stable. They have been around for a long time and have been tried and tested, making them a reliable choice. 

⦾ Security: Monoliths are easier to secure than microservices since they have a single point of entry. This makes it easier to protect against attacks and vulnerabilities. 

⦾ Cost-effective: Monoliths are more cost-effective than microservices since they require less infrastructure and are easier to deploy and manage. 

Disadvantages of Monolith Applications 

⦾ Scalability: Monolithic applications are difficult to scale since all components are tightly coupled. This means that as the application grows, it becomes harder to add more resources to the system. 

⦾ Flexibility: Monoliths lack flexibility since all components are tightly coupled. This means that any changes to one component require changes to the entire application. 

⦾ Deployment: Monoliths require the entire application to be deployed at once, making it difficult to deploy new features or updates without disrupting the entire application. 

⦾ Maintenance: Monoliths can be difficult to maintain and update, especially as the application grows in size and complexity. 

When to Choose a Monolith Application? 

While monolithic architecture has its limitations, there are still situations where it might be the right choice for your organization. For example, if you have a small application with a limited number of components and a small team, a monolith might be simpler and easier to manage. Also, if your application is unlikely to change in the future and has a predictable workload, a monolith might be a good choice. Additionally, if you have a legacy application that is difficult to maintain and update, a monolith might be the simplest solution. 

Conclusion 

A monolith application is a traditional approach to building software applications that have been around for decades. While monoliths have their advantages, including simplicity, robustness, security, and cost-effectiveness, they also have their limitations, including scalability, flexibility, deployment, and maintenance. However, there are still situations where a monolith might be the right choice for your organization, such as if you have a small application with a limited number of components or a legacy application that is difficult to maintain and update. Ultimately, the choice between a monolith and a microservices architecture depends on the specific needs and goals of your organization.

Prepare yourself: hybrid work is difficult. Here’s how Office 365 and Microsoft Teams can assist.

Due to the pandemic, the work environment of every industry changed, the shift to remote work lasted about 15+ months. To understand this impact Microsoft conducted regular research and study among their customers and employees. As per their recent work trend survey report, indicating that in a year they send 160,000 people to work at home and onboarded 25,000 new employees, and the percentage went high in history 90%.

There’s no guarantee that the trend will continue in the increasingly complex world of hybrid work. For one thing, employee expectations have changed. According to last year’s Work Trend Index report, 73 percent of employees want the option to work remotely, but 67 percent want more in-person engagement. Without any preparation, dealing with this hybrid work paradox will be challenging.

Microsoft continues to invest in hybrid innovation as we all learn and share practical advice. Check out the new features in Microsoft Teams and Office 365 designed to help your employees no matter where they work meet their diverse work needs.

Designed for all, not just onsite attendees

 Microsoft introduced new features in June aimed at supporting inclusive hybrid meetings, including a front row for Teams Rooms, a revised Teams experience on Surface Hub, and an updated Microsoft Whiteboard that allows visual participation even if you’re not physically in the same room. With the introduction of a new category of intelligent cameras, Microsoft is ushering in the next phase of Teams Rooms innovation. This new generation of intelligent cameras is powered by three distinct technologies:

  1. AI-powered active speaker tracking, enabling in-room cameras to use audio, facial movements, and gestures to detect who in the room is speaking, zooming in for a closer perspective.
  2. Multiple video streams that allow in-room participants to be placed in their own video pane.
  3. People recognition, which will identify and display the profile name of enrolled users within their video pane.

You can create more equal meeting experiences where everyone feels visible and represented when intelligent cameras are used with Dynamic View in Teams. Teams modify various features of the meeting as individuals join it, so distant members can see the room and information well, and industry-leading partners including Jabra, Neat, Poly, and Yealink, these features will be available to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the coming months and rolled out as updates over the course of the next year.

Office environments that are meant for everyone, not only in-person attendance

Microsoft is improving companion mode in Teams mobile to give in-room attendees easy access to engagement tools like chat, live reactions, and Microsoft Whiteboard, allowing them to contribute more dynamically. They’re also making it easy to access meeting and device controls, such as joining a meeting, casting a PowerPoint, muting the room, turning on and off room cameras, and more. In the coming months, the improved companion mode experience will be accessible.

It will also be simpler to organize meetings and collaborate. New features in Outlook track when and where teammates are working, as well as how they will participate in meetings. Working hours have been modified to allow you to enter work schedule details right in your calendar, letting people know when and where you’ll be working. People can now indicate whether they will attend a meeting in person or online, allowing meeting planners to better prepare by scheduling space with video conferencing capabilities or bringing a speaker pack. Early next year, Outlook will begin bringing out new hybrid work experiences.

People may find and reserve flexible workplaces in the office using the hot desking experience on Microsoft Teams displays. Access your own Teams calendar, chats, meetings, and more by booking space from your smartphone or in advance using Outlook or Teams. When hot-desking, team displays can be used as a standalone device or as a second screen, and all personal information is deleted from the device after signing out. By the end of 2021, Lenovo ThinkSmart view is planned to offer this experience.

Remote meetings that are just as effective as face-to-face meetings

 Many people used to prefer to deliver crucial presentations in person, but we’re investing to make remote presentations as successful and immersive as possible. Hybrid presentations aren’t only about providing knowledge; they also use nonverbal social cues like facial reactions and gestures to engage the audience. Cameo is a unique PowerPoint experience that combines your Teams camera stream seamlessly into your presentation, allowing you to select how and where it appears on your slides and providing layout ideas for optimal viewing. Use PowerPoint Live in Teams for an immersive remote presentation when it’s time to present. Cameo will be available in early 2022.

Speaker coach in Microsoft Teams uses AI to privately provide guidance on your speed, tell you if you are interrupting someone, and remind you to check in with your audience as we try to create an inclusive hybrid work culture where all voices can be heard. Speaker coach will be accessible in Microsoft Teams in early 2022.

The most recent automated Even in low-light situations, lighting modifications will make you seem good in video-on meetings. In the next months, lighting corrections will be accessible.

Let lose work area space at home or in the workplace and get clear strong quality for gatherings with the new Logi Dock. This docking station has an implicit speakerphone with contact controls, intended to work flawlessly with Teams. With a tad of a button, you can join Teams gatherings, change your sound, and then some. Logi Dock will be accessible in the coming months.

Stay in the progression of work with Microsoft Teams

 Adaptability comes from realizing that regardless of where you work from, you are associated with your partners and work. The most recent developments in Teams bring your #1 applications and encounters together to assist you with staying productive, centered and associated in half-breed work.

With Microsoft Teams gatherings and calls coming to Apple CarPlay, you would now be able to join Teams gatherings and settle on decisions sans hands out and about utilizing Siri.

Microsoft Viva brings correspondence, information, experiences, and learning into the progression of work. With Viva Connections, you can remain educated regarding organization news and assets straightforwardly from Teams. You can discover customized declarations, organization discussions, and a dashboard of assets for activities like presenting a day-by-day wellbeing check or cost reports. Now, Viva Connections mobile app will be available in preview.

By using Apps in Teams meetings you will empower a more engaging and productive collaboration experience. App content can now be shared and interacted with life during meetings, enabling visualizations such as real-time visual problem solving and brainstorming. With Miro, MURAL, Lucidspark, Freehand, and many more to come, you can get started right away.

While hybrid work is exciting, it will be a challenge for every leader and organization. Organizations that embrace the change and incorporate flexibility into their operating models will foster a more inclusive work environment. Microsoft is committed to fostering a hybrid work culture where flexibility leads the way – giving customers and employees the power to work from anywhere, anytime, and take control of their personal development and wellbeing.

Maritime Surveys: Problems Vs Cybersmart

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has developed many international conventions to protect the safety of the crew, cargo, and the environment. Nonetheless maritime accidents still happen resulting in losses of lives, property, and damage to the marine environment.

The main reasons for these accidents include:

  1. human error,
  2. ageing ships,
  3. improper maintenance on board ships to reduce costs,
  4. increasing lack of experienced crew due to shortage of trained manpower and non-compliance with minimum international safety standard.

 

According to the European Maritime Safety Administration’s Annual Overview of Maritime Casualties and Incidents 2020 report: The total number of reported marine casualties and incidents over the period 2014-2019 is 19418. These incidents led to 493 very serious casualties, 496 fatalities and 6210 persons injured. This data combined with decades of maritime related serious environmental disasters, latest being the Oil spill from Crimson Polaris that had about 1,550 metric tonnes of heavy oil and about 130 metric tonnes of diesel oil on board.

Despite strict controls by classification societies, flag states, port state controls, insurers and brokers, inferior ships continue to operate and pose serious risks to human life and the environment. This is illustrated by the ship detention records recorded annually in the annual reports of all MOUs and the U.S. Coast Guard. Port state control is not a substitute for effective flag state control and by itself it is unlikely that inferior ships will be eliminated. The existence of inferior ships calls into question the way in which the condition of ships is checked, recorded and shared among stakeholders by port and flag states.

In this blog we focus on the critical role of ship inspection and data sharing in improving safety and environmental protection at sea. Various Inspection like, Annual Flag State Safety Inspection, Port State Control (PSC) Inspections, Classification Society Routine Inspections, Owners/ Charterers/ Insurance Vessel Condition Inspection, have been the primary mode to ascertain condition of vessel and the data collected forms the basis of many important decisions within the industry which has serious implication for Safety of life at Sea and the Maritime Environment.

Investigation reports into various Maritime Accidents as compiled on IMO GISIS points to human error – related to quality control and inspections – as one of the leading contributing factors. The below table shows the leading factors for ship deficiency as recorded under Paris MOU annual report for the year 2020.

 

 

Source: Paris MOU Annual Report 2020, P 45

Fire Safety and Safety of Navigation being the top categories of deficiencies underscores the importance of precise recording, reporting, data access for reference and follow up across jurisdictions to avoid impending loss of life and potential marine pollution. This record of deficiencies together with the recurring nature of maritime accidents begs for a deeper analysis and understanding of the tools, methods and process in place.

 Common pain points of a Manual Technical Survey include:

  1. Loss of life and irreparable environmental damage due to the manual surveying and control methods used in the shipping industry for centuries.
  2. On an average it takes up to seven days of planning, liaison with various parties and physical survey for each vessel to produces PDF reports like the ones below that usually sits dormant in PDF files.
  3. Historical data on ship conditions and defects are incomprehensible (static PDF reports). The lack of precise data often leads to incorrectly calculated political decisions. One such example is the PSC inspection report for all MOUs in PDF format with little or no follow-up to the deficiencies found. As soon as a ship is allowed to sail after a warning and recommendation from a PSC officer, the written text in PDF files is seldom detailed in the existing online data exchange systems (e.g., Equasis and Paris MOU detention list) which provides a brief on the vessel detention.
  4. In addition, much of the critical ship inspection information is lost due to its non-digital nature which inherits easy sharing and is prone to misunderstanding when read by other participating port state administrations. This practice sometimes results in substandard ships failing to meet regulatory requirements.

There are several important factors that deserve attention and improvement; We need a solution to address the problem of human error and data loss and to improve the currently mostly manual format of inspection and PDF-based reporting that is practiced in the maritime industry.

 Cyber Smart – The Solution!

Solving this problem of dangerous oversight, human error and data loss in the shipping industry through Cyber Smart – a web and mobile-based e-survey platform that ensures that inspection authorities are equipped with a digital survey tool that enables them to digitally transmit the survey data an app.
