Barcelona and 5G technology

The Catalan capital is postulated to lead the development of new

technology that can boost important advances in areas as varied as

health or mobility.

The Mediterranean flavor of Barcelona dazzles the Mobile World Congress

3G came to bring the Internet to phones much more comfortable and deep than GPRS and GSM. The 4G – the technology that is used at the moment: it surpassed it to popularize the consumption of audiovisual content in a fluid way on smartphones and tablets. And the next stage in the path of the evolution of communications is the 5G, which will provide the ability to transmit information in real time. And it is that when some element is now displayed in supposedly direct – a Facebook Live, for example – there are always a few seconds of delay between the action and the moment in which it is played. A delay that the experts call latency and that the 5G eliminates by reducing it to the minimum expression.
Although it may seem subtle, the change represents an authentic revolution just when the fourth industrial revolution is underway, with the digitalization of production processes and the internet of things. For example, the road to the autonomous vehicle will be paved and will lead to disruptive advances in areas as varied as health or logistics. This special supplement from Avantgarde explains some of the most advanced applications, but there is still a lot of ground to explore. The change of paradigm is about to begin, it is expected that between 2019 and 2020 the foundations will be felt, and the year of the definitive takeoff of 5G should be 2021.
The change supposes a true revolution just when the fourth industrial revolution is under way, with the digitalization of the productive processes and the internet of things

In this context, Barcelona is running to lead the development of this nascent technology thanks to a city alliance: 5G Barcelona. “The objective is to get the city to be placed in the 5G Championships”, defines the 5G director of the Mobile World Capital Barcelona (MWCapital), Eduard Martín. It is a public-private collaboration tool sponsored by MWCapital and of which the City Council of Barcelona, ​​the Generalitat de Catalunya, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), the i2CAT foundation, the Technological Center of Telecommunications of Catalonia ( CTTC) and Atos, among other companies. “Barcelona must be one of the big cities in the deployment of 5G technology. It is not only that the new services are tested here, but that they are consolidated in the territory “, clarifies Martín. It is structured in two aspects: first, “possible services are identified and to develop prototypes and pilot tests”, and secondly, “new technology laboratories” are created with the aim of providing services to companies and entrepreneurs, explains the director of the MWCapital. His other great support is the 5G National Observatory.
The Catalan capital is well located, and this public-private partnership has been working intensively since last year. “In addition to being a city with an evident innovative and entrepreneurial tradition, Barcelona has a good ecosystem for new technologies since the 1992 Olympic Games, it has a specialized district like the 22 @ and it can not be forgotten that with The celebration of the MWC is the mobile world capital and between 2014 and 2016 it was the first European capital of innovation “, argues Eduard Martín.

An alliance of woven city with public-private collaboration and that begins to bear its first fruits

“The 5G will be one of the major themes of the MWC this year and I think that will continue for a couple of more editions,” predicts the MWCapital spokesperson. “The change will be transversal, the 5G is a great vehicle for new services and to improve current ones; Can you imagine living a rock concert or an opera from the point of view of artists through immersive reality? ”

“In 2025 there will be 200 million objects connected to the internet, the 5G will have the ability to manage them,” he adds. It is not just a technology 100 times faster than 4G. The change that is coming is deeper, and Barcelona is ready for the challenge.

Lorca in Barcelona (theater)

‘El Publico’ is Lorca’s response to a moment of personal and creative crisis, a cry for loving and artistic freedom

Lorca Barcelona-teather

For a irrepresentable work, audiences will come out lately Lorca many crackpots ready for anything. Willing to to stage a huge unfinished and eventful history that lies between us miraculously scenic poem. A poetic puzzle intimately connected to the world and the time of Poet in New York and pregnant with meanings about the theater and about desire. A cry for loving and artistic freedom. A journey into the Lorca himself. Your brain. At its deepest tensions. A work that claimed, the content and form dark, avantgarde theater against another aimed at pleasing the public. And in the early thirties clearly it defends, sometimes so fierce against the dominant hypocrisy homoerotic desire. If at the beginning of 2015 the Teatro Real in Madrid became the public opera hand writer Andres Ibanez and composer Mauricio Sotelo, is now one of the reference figures of Catalan theater, Alex Rigola, former director of Teatre Lliure, who dare with this piece that almost seems to go hand in hand with this position: it was released worldwide in 1986 in Milan by one of the founders of Rigola Lliure and successor as head of the institution, Lluís Pasqual. A version still revered.

Of course, this great scenic poem, this Drama in twenty paintings and murder, as stated on the edge of the first page of the manuscript preserved although the work would end six acts and deaths there a few others, it will not It is represented in the Lliure but at the National Theatre of Catalonia, which comes from the Teatro de la Abadia Madrid, which is one of its Rigola usual suspects. Public premiered there on 28 October in the Sala Juan de la Cruz. It was a peculiar room the old church of the Holy Family with the help of set designer Max Glaenzel has become a whole cosmos. With the walls covered with hundreds of strips of metallic gray plastic. And with a cork floor that mimics the earth and creates mounds not only on stage but it moves toward the seats to integrate them into a universe on top even has its own celestial sphere, dark, starless. Under which the characters -the director, horses, Elena, Juliet, the fool Pastor, harlequin suit, red prestidigitador- Naked or delivered to the passions of the poem often with little or no clothes except the Director , played by Pep Tosar. A powerful universe Glaenzel Rigola and are challenged to recreate the always difficult TNC Great Room, where, live things, happen to show a decidedly popular, successful musical Molt soroll per no res.

Instead, the public not only the difficulty of the explosion of meanings of poetry with which it is written, but the manuscript that has survived is not the definitive, but has been saved. A manuscript dated August 22, 1930 and whose front pages are written on a letterhead of La Union in Havana, a city where have occurred the first reading of the work to Loynaz brothers. In July 1936 Lorca convene a group of friends at the Buenavista restaurant to read the final version, typewritten and with many corrections. And lost. Which has gone down in history is, according to his savior, Rafael Martínez Nadal, to Lorca, on his last day in Madrid on July 16, 1936, she gave him a packet of papers to be the keep: he must destroy especially if anything happened. Among them was The public, Martinez Nadal published much later, in 1976.

Rigola a work that fascinates him since he discovered at the Institut del Teatre and it fits perfectly with his theatrical career in recent times. The Catalan director, who spent eight years at the Lliure left by choice not to perpetuate himself in charge- and is responsible for six years of the Venice Biennale Teatro, it has become an impressive theatrical campus where teach the great directors of the time, he has opted to turn in great poems and performing facilities from Macbeth and Coriolanus to The Birth of Tragedy Nietzsche (with music by David Bowie).

And now he has made up his mind to Lorca. In their selves, their passions, battles Freudian creator lives in a time of deep personal and artistic crisis where the two men who have been in love, Dali and Emilio Aladrén, women have been both named as … that of the public, Elena. A crisis in which triumphs with works such as Mariana Pineda but feels it is not the theater to do, which is to bourgeois, who is not going to the depths. A moment in which Lorca is also, says Rigola, who hides his homosexuality as if there was a problem. It is the time when you go to New York and Havana and discover new worlds and theaters. Voltages in which immerses the viewer in the audience, the first dimension is “Fourth Director. The Director granted. Dressed in tuxedo. Decorated blue. A large handprint on the wall. The windows are X-rays. ”

A hand radiographs, signaling the willingness to go penetrating inside and give way to a journey that merge reality and dream, in which the Director will come to see the audience in the theater is discussed It is done and who should do: “I will have to give me a shot to open the true theater, theater under the sand” and which calls his theater desired- says a character, to which the Director opposes ” And the moral? And the stomach of the audience? “. That written in a work in which sexual images, particularly homoerotic, are as poetic as scurrilous. A work in which the necessary theatrical revolution and deception of men who hide their sexuality and, either way, speaking of truth and lies are mixed. For the solution it is to “destroy the theater or live on stage!”. And love.

The ‘farmhouse’ Torres Garcia at Sarria neighborhood in Barcelona, empty and unused

The premiere of an extensive retrospective at the MoMA in New York rescues the trace of the artist in Barcelona

Torres García at the MoMA in New York

The Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) pays tribute this October with a colorful retrospective. The Palau de la Generalitat looks in a room in your name with frescos that decorated the Saló Sant Jordi in1916 at the request of Prat de la Riba. Frequenting the “Quatre Gats’ and worked with Antoni Gaudí-Design windows to the Holy Family, Eugeni d’Ors, Joan Miró, Ramon Casas … And, despite everything, the imprint of Joaquín Torres García (1875-1949) in Barcelona remains totally forgotten.

The ‘casitas Torres García’ in the street Hort Vila Sarria 27-29 await you boarded a municipal intervention that returned to life and a new use that service area. They worked this complex Uruguayan-Catalan artist, who in November 1919 agreed to a cabinetmaker neighborhood production peculiar collection of art toys, a number of mills of wood, colors and transformable, who devised as child introductory artistic creation and abstraction.

The farm is owned by the municipality and was about to be demolished to align the streets leading to the Via Augusta. Neighborhood Association and Major de Sarrià library The Peixera which specializes in children’s book artist and closed during the crisis prompted active mobilization between 2007 and 2011, that the pick away and won the municipal commitment to conserve and heritage local interest. They are two of only six houses on the ground floor and a floor that still retain the structure of ‘Catalan Volta’. “They are the last urban farms that remain, testimony of the traditional architecture of Sarria,” explains Eva Ceano-Vivas, president of the AVV brand Sarria.

Entities popular culture came even prepare a detailed project, which have been submitted to the governments of Hereu, Trias and Colau- to rehabilitate the space and make it ‘home institutions and Culture Sarrianenca’. Give shelter to such gegants colles of devils and the Drac and the neighborhood. “We keep gegants in the district headquarters, but we have nowhere to gather and file and other material are scattered private homes”, explains Montse Iglesias, the Gegantera Colla de Sarria.

“Over 20 years ago we asked a local” laments. Teresa lasted, owner of The Peixera and one of the activists involved in the local campaign, encouraged to go beyond the artistic memory and rescue the building, “even with some kind of stable relationship with the Torres García Museum of Montevideo”. “It is so important for the history of art and so little known here! Artist,” he sighs.

The new municipal government confirms that the assignment of a new use is still pending and the part of the plan of facilities for the district which provides a consensus with the entities. “We want to keep them but will be implemented using a participative manner during the preparation of the District Action Plan (PAD) and the Municipal Action Plan (PAM),” he says. Ada Colau team must negotiate with the opposition these roadmaps, which could delay its approval until the summer.

More than a game

Toys are not a minor element in the work of Garcia Torres, on the contrary. “We attached great importance, because condensed their willingness to make art education” lasted, stressing that took them with him on every international move explains. Other contemporary authors such as Paul Klee, Pablo Ruiz Picasso or Bauhaus School, also explored the children’s game as an artistic practice. Today, however, those toys are considered avantgarde art and the Uruguayan have been exhibited in the showcases of museums such as the Metropolitan in New York, the Oscar Niemeyer of Brazil and the IVAM in Valencia.

Manufacturing of Sarria operated during the first years 20. Torres García designing parts and its partner, the artisan Rambla Francesc Teixidor, the materialized. Rambla had his workshop in Hort de la Vila and was a renowned cabinetmaker in the then independent town of Sarria, which also was commissioned to carve the stalls of the Plenary Hall of the Town Hall, now the headquarters of the district. The company Aladdin New York Toys rights bought them toys, which manufactured and sold in the United States as well as in Europe. However, the two partners ended up breaking the Barcelona project and was buried.

A rising value

Torres Garcia was an itinerant artist -he lived in Uruguay, Spain, USA, France, Italy … -, one of the first creators globalized, but lived in Catalunya for much of his creative life. Enmarcarle costs in an aesthetic trend, because alternated with noucentistes and modernists, left figurative and abstract work, he founded the Constructive Universalism and created his own school in Latin America. “It was a ‘rare’ for life time and failed a lot of fame, maybe we understand better today, now that we are also a complex, fluid society” reflects lasted. “When we defended them not to shoot the houses, and we realize that Torres Garcia is one of the artists who will be revalued during the first quarter of the twenty-first century is going well,” he recalls Teresa lasted.

Indeed, the extensive retrospective at MoMA -¡190 parts – is not the only exhibition of the author, one of the most prominent representatives of the pictorial vanguards in the Southern Cone. He also starred in recent samples in Spain: this July at the Museum of Fine Arts of Murcia (Mubam) until this Wednesday at the Dalmau Gallery in Barcelona, ​​which has a close relationship with the artist’s family since the 70s also his pieces have been seen at the Museu Picasso de Barcelona (2014) and the Reina Sofia in Madrid (2013). The MNAC gave him a temporary four months in 2011 and for a year starred in a room of the museum, thanks to the timely transfer of 14 works by their grandchildren.

The current MoMA exhibition will travel to Madrid on May 19th to September 11th, 2016 and Malaga of October 10th, 2016 to February 5th 2017, but is not intended calling at any Catalan population.

Barcelona plans its first commercial street where pay with bitcoins

A group of users of electronic currency works to implement in the Ciutat Vella in Barcelona, the model launched in Serrano Street in Madrid.

ATM bitcoins in Barcelona image

Create in Barcelona “Carrer” bitcoin. This is the aim of a group of lovers of digital currency users who want to launch an initiative to get the highest number of trades in the same area adopt this new form of payment. The drivers do not reveal what street in the Catalan capital has put the focus, but admit that the chosen Ciutat Vella district is the combination of three elements that can be key to meet the challenge. “It’s a central location with great commercial and very touristy concentration,” says one of its promoters, Borja Rossell, who is also CEO of BTCpoint, developer ATMs bitcoins.

Contact round the shops begin in the coming days. The promoters want to avoid the franchise and concentrate on small businesses that may be more susceptible to adopt electronic currency. According Rossell, cost-free for merchants since “there are many applications that allow purchases with bitcoins”. “Just a mobile or tablet,” he adds.

The volunteer group -are 15- have set a goal to have 20 to 30 business concentrates on a street or area – “less than 500 meters away from each others, qualifies Rossell” – which allow to operate with bitcoins Mobile World Congress to be held next March. A good showcase to gain followers, considering that those days Barcelona becomes the global epicenter of technology and innovation universe where the virtual currency part.

If successful, it will be the second time that the congress is used to publicize this new currency. In the last edition was installed provisionally an ATM bitcoins in the Diagonal Mar Shopping Centre decline since the council come to appreciate this initiative to “not be a legal tender and not being regulated”.

Discreet host

The action is a replica of the bitcoin community project that has developed in Madrid on Calle Serrano, known as the ‘Golden Mile’, which already can buy bitcoins in a few places. “Actually, the idea of the United States and the countries of northern Europe where more experience here in this type of action,” admits Rossell. The figures speak for themselves. According to the web coinmap.org in the Catalan capital there are only twenty merchants that accept bitcoins and, from a month ago, a single point where buy and sell -in FabCafé Barcelona within MOB- coworking space, an amount well below cities like London or New York, where the phenomenon of criptomoneda is more advanced.

For Alex Puig, technological and entrepreneurial expert bitcoins, the explanation to the discrete popularity in Spain and Catalunya lies in the “fear” and the need for us to “someone to give us explanations, protect us.” And the bitcoin, encrypted, global and volatile currency are beyond the control of banks, states and international organizations. “It’s an ingrained cultural issue and so the development of bitcoins, which is not regulated by anyone, is slower than elsewhere,” he says. According to him, the pulse of this digital currency could be taken to a hypothetical independence of Catalonia. “It recurrent think in a new country could adopt the 2.0 bitcoin as currency, but that would depend on the degree of confidence that had”.

Currency ‘at risk’

The bitcoins have on economic and political context your greatest ally. Your quote, for example, skyrocketed during the playpen of Cyprus last year.

Proponents see it as a real alternative and response to management that the troika has made the crisis. In recent times, with the emergence of new political parties Bitcoins We can have a circle, but is almost inactivo- has been speculated that the use of bitcoins extends leveraging the political situation, but Juan Ramón Rallo, Doctor of Economics and Director of the Instituto Juan de Mariana, is categorical in this regard: “the bitcoin has no ideology and if you have it would have a liberal pedigree”.

There where many see a solution, others are simply “a risk”. “Since its inception in 2009, there have been ups and downs and not really know why. Maybe is good, but can lead to speculators and speculation, and the absence of regulation, to make illegal transactions easier, “says Professor of Financial Economics at the UPF, Oriol Amat. According to him, their characteristics are very similar to other financial experiences that have ended badly, referring to the scandal of Philatelic Forum in 2006 left 500,000 affected by the scam of the seals. The European Banking Authority (EBA) a year ago and warned of the dangers associated with virtual currencies. Bitcoin is one of them, although there are more than a hundred.

“It is paradoxical alert when banks are being more interested in knowing how bitcoins work and adapt its operation to the protocols themselves,” says Puig. “For me the big mystery is the current financial system is very opaque and it is very difficult to access,” he concludes.

Five things you need to know to look like a wine expert

Anyone can pick a good “stock”, just follow a few simple steps, and above all, use the palate own

Red wine photo

Spain is one of the world’s great wine producers, which also has a very good quality / price ratio. Savor a good stock is available to all, and to serve great wine is not necessary to have special knowledge about the grapes, the aromas, the color, the barrels … may be easier than it looks, just follow steps elementary and do not forget that if we like what we drink, it’s good. Here are five basic things about wine there is to know.

1st The grape

The grape, mostly colorless and is the skin (skin) the purple color printing wine

First, grape, mostly, is colorless and is the skin (skin) of the purple color printing in red wine fermentation (transformation of sugars of the must into alcohol). Therefore, and with few exceptions, black grapes with their skins are for red, and white to white. Among the exceptions is the blanc de noirs, white wines made from red grapes, but not skin, of course. In pink, on the other hand, are mixed and white inks from skins.

2nd The wine

To differentiate the types of wine there are several classifications. The most basic are for their sweetness and their age is difference between dry, semi-dry, semi-sweet and sweet

To differentiate the types of wine there are several classifications. The most basic are its sweetness and its age. The first distinction is made between dry (0 a4 g of sugar per liter), semidry (5 to 12 g / l), semisweet (13 to 45 g / l) and sweet (over 45 g / l).

To explain the latter must take into account a fallacy as widely today: “The wine, the older the better.” There may be very young wines of excellent quality and others that are decades old undrinkable. Depending on your age and the type of crianza, the wines will be:

Young (also known as the year or new) if it was obtained in the same campaign indicating that labeling.

Semicrianza: When you have spent a little time in wooden containers. In this case you must indicate the exact time. They are also colloquially called “oak”.

The management of these OD maintained by the Regulatory Council of each.

3th Temperature

The wine should be served at the proper temperature

The wine should be served at the proper temperature, otherwise, its basic characteristics may be altered. The higher the temperature the alcohol potency and aroma evaporate, so the red should be at room temperature not exceeding 22 °, as a result sse improves aroma and flavor, and the flavors are cooler and neutralize the acidity increases, why white wines should be served cold in general, as a result they are more pleasant and refreshing.
It is best to use common sense, never put wine in the freezer will not cool a hot wine in an ice bucket.

approximate temperatures
• Sparkling wine needle and 6 to 8 ° C.
• Young White 7th at 10.
• White barrel 8th at 12 ° C.
• Pink and 10º to 12ºC clarets.
• Young reds 14º to 16ºC.
• Reds barrel (Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva) 16º to 18ºC.

4th The tasting

The tasting usually only meet eight to ten wines

When tasting a wine is still very clear steps. Work first sight, smell and after finally taste. Keep in mind that the winemakers and tasters take years of practice and are able to recall countless odors (up to 10,000 can be stored in memory humans).

The only way to be an expert taster is through practice.

The view must be set in the color, volume and movement (the tear that leaves the liquid in the cup). It is then very useful to the wine on a white surface in highlighting colors. The white and rosé wines are seen from above, he took the cup for the foot, while when tasting red wines have to tilt slightly the continent.

On the nose it will be three stages of perception. The first quiet drink with, where the aromas of output reporting on parenting methods. Then we will have to shake it a little, to rescue the major flavors that highlight the personality. Finally there are the base notes, which need more time to be discovered.

Finally, taste, taste the wine allowing correctly.

The tasting usually only meet eight to ten wines, for a saturation of the individual subject and the alcohol. Being more spittoon used to not having to drink each. Are not recommended in any case, lipsticks, colonies not having eaten or smoked.

5th The service

Harmony Wine and Cheese

At home we have to think about the service and yes, there is a glass for each wine. One sherry is taken into a port, somewhat lower than those of white wine; Riesling, smaller and with slightly bulging, is perfect for young whites without wood; and broader youth will Crianza red or white. There are also tops Bordeaux, larger than those of beer to aerate the wine; Burgundy and even more open to appreciate the bouquet (olfactory sensations of a wine aged in their peak).

Both the wine and privately is advisable to take before the young than the old, white to red, the temperate cold and dry to sweet. If they are the same style, better start for those with lower alcohol content.

At the time of storage, you have to keep them in darkness and the bottle horizontally so that the wine in contact with the cork.

There is only harmony with food. Some will say that the ham must be taken with fine breeding and others with more than one partner can be anyone other than sparkling. In a matter of taste, the possibilities are endless and therefore also welcome to get away from the rigidity of white for fish and red meat and discover their own individual tastes.

Car Service Barcelona tourist review-2014

I wanted to thank Avantgarde Limousines for the incredible service provided to me and to my wife on her recent visit to Barcelona. On a short notice I was able to obtain a driver with a Sedan to pick up my wife from the airport. According to my wife, the driver Salvador, was extremely courteous and very helpful. From my end, I dealt with Jan and he provided excellent service and assured me that everything was taken care of – which it was! I would highly recommend your limo and driver services to anyone going to Barcelona. Please feel free to put my comments on your website. Again, thank you.
