Ovation Productions on its 40th year of presenting some of the biggest names in live entertainment in the Philippines proudly announces its post-Valentines concert at the Mall Of Asia Arena on February 22, 2019 featuring the supremely talented Josh Groban.

Josh Groban’s Bridges Tour 2019 live in Manila is presented by Ovation Productions. Ticket prices are P20500, P18500, P15500, P10500, P8500, P5500, P2500 and now on sale through www.smtickets.com and all SM Tickets outlets. For more info, call 470-2222 / 532-8883 or follow Ovation Productions online.

Josh Groban with special guest Lea Salonga

Filipino fans shall once again be treated to world-class entertainment as  Tony Award-winner and Broadway royalty Lea Salonga now joins multi-platinum singer-songwriter Josh Groban at his special post-Valentines Manila concert this 2019. Two of the most powerful and distinct voices in the industry come together for the Bridges Tour live on February 22 at the Mall of Asia Arena.

The unmistakable voice behind global hit "You Raise Me Up" brings his internationally recognized one-night-only show to the Philippines, backed by the magnificent ABS-CBN Orchestra, Josh’s own 5-man band, and the Ateneo Choir. This latest tour kicked off in the United States last October, marking Groban’s first tour since his sold-out Stages Tour in 2016.

Certified multi-platinum recording artist and actor

Josh Groban is an internationally renowned singer, songwriter, and actor whose baritone voice is instantly recognizable and unparalleled among his peers. He has entertained fans across the globe with his multi-platinum albums and DVDs (selling more than 30 million worldwide), electrifying live performances, and comedic film and television appearances. Groban is the only artist who has had two albums land on Billboard’s list of 20 best-sellers of the last 10 years.

The 35-year-old Los Angeles native first breakthrough in 2001 with his self-titled 5x platinum debut, followed by 2003’s 6x platinum Closer, and 2006’s double-platinum Awake. In 2007, he became the best-selling recording artist of the year thanks to sales of Awake and his blockbuster 6x platinum, Grammy-nominated Christmas album, Noel — the best-selling album of 2007.

Achieving more albums and recognitions

At the end of 2010, Groban released the Rick Rubin-produced, gold-certified Illuminations. All That Echoes followed in 2013, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart, Groban’s first No. 1 debut and third chart-topper. Gold-certified All That Echoes racked up a host of positive reviews from major media outlets, including The New York Times, Billboard, Rolling Stone, and USA Today. His global arena tours routinely sell out, including his 2013 All That Echoes tour, which included 60 shows in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and North America.

In April 2015 Groban released his seventh studio album, Stages — a collection of some of the greatest musical theater songs of all time, which Groban describes as “gorgeously arranged songs that have stood the test of time,” and which he was drawn to because of their combination of “incredible melody with an incredible story.” Recorded with producers Humberto Gatica and Bernie Herms in both Los Angeles and London’s Abbey Road (with a 75-piece orchestra), Stages features songs from Les Misérables, Carousel, Sunday in the Park with George, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, The Fantasticks, A Chorus Line, Phantom of the Opera, and others. The gold-certified Stages was nominated for a 2016 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.

Groban also released a CD/DVD package, entitled Stages Live, featuring performances recorded at the historic Los Angeles Theater in downtown L.A. for a PBS special entitled Josh Groban: Stages Live. The album has been nominated for a 2017 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. Last July, Groban embarked on an extensive North American tour to support Stages, entitled “Josh Groban: On Stage.”

Also in 2016, Groban made his Broadway debut starring in the new musical Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812, which opened to glowing reviews. The New York Times raved that “Josh Groban is absolutely wonderful…he invests his singing with the pain and frustration that define Pierre. And his acting is superb, as he all but trembles with the existential despair that courses through Pierre’s veins.” Time Out NY said: “Josh Groban plays the melancholy Pierre with intensity and a simply ravishing voice.”

As an actor, Groban has also appeared on Glee, The Simpsons, The Office, CSI: NY, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Crazy Ones, as well as in the feature films Crazy, Stupid, Love, Coffee Town, and Muppets Most Wanted. In 2015, he hosted ABC’s unique singing competition Rising Star. Groban is also a popular television talk-show guest, appearing in various late-night comedic sketches with Jimmy Kimmel, co-hosting Live With Regis and Kelly with Kelly Ripa, and paying tribute to Oprah Winfrey during the final week of her long-running show.

An active arts education philanthropist and advocate, Groban is a member of Americans for the Arts Artists Committee, on whose behalf he testified before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on the Interior on the value of the arts during Arts Advocacy Day in 2009. In July 2011, Groban established the Find Your Light Foundation, which helps enrich the lives of young people through arts, education, and cultural awareness. It covers a wide array of possibilities, from providing instruments and funding for arts programs in schools to introducing people to the arts and culture around them through the use of technology.

Josh Groban Releases Bridges

Josh Groban's brand new album Bridges was released in September 2018 to critical acclaim, featuring the singles “River,” “Granted," and “Symphony" and duets with such notable artists as Andrea Bocelli and Sarah McLachlan. Bridges Tour Live in Manila is extra special as Josh will perform songs off this record, a captivating duet or two with Lea Salonga, and his greatest hits "All I Ask," "Broken Vow," "She’s Out Of My Life," "You Raise Me Up," "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "To Where You Are," "Awake," "You Are Loved (Don’t Give Up)," "Believe," among many others.

[:it]Well, it’s been a while since I published the latest news about MyzharBot project, what’s better than starting again from a really big news? Nvidia has presented the new Jetson module, Nvidia Jetson TX2 and it’s ready to get on board of MyzharBot

What’s about the new “embedded monster” released by Nvidia? While the step from the Jetson TK1 to the Jetson TK2 has been very big, this time Nvidia put the focus on the continuity: the new Jetson TX2 is a module really similar to the Jetson TX1, with the same dimensions and, more important, pin to pin compatible with the former one. We can continue to use the carrier boards that we are using with Jetson TX1, but with more and more computational power.

Nvidia Jetson TX2

So what’s new respect to the Jetson TX1… sit down and read carefully, it’s impressive:

GPU: from Maxwell to Pascal up to 1.3Ghz

CPU: added dual core 64bit Denver (up to 2.0Ghz) to the existing four cores 64 bit A57

Memory: from 4 GB 64bit LPDDR4 to 8 GB 128bit LPDDR4

Storage: doubled the eMMC to 32 GB

Video Encode: from 2160p @ 30 FPS to 2160p @ 60 FPS 

Hence what can we do with the new Jetson TX2? We can run 6 DNNs, while making 2x Object Tracking and decoding two 4K 30FPS streams, composing the result and encoding it to 2 streams H265… quite impressive!!!

NVidia has not only worked  on the hardware, new software is coming too. The new Jetpack v3.0 will be released soon and it is highly focused on Artificial Intelligence:

Deep Learning: TensorRT 1.0 GA, cuDNN 5.1, DIGITS Workflow

Computer Vision: VisionWorks 1.6, OpenCV4Tegra 2.4.13 (OpenCV 3 is available compiling from source Nvidia submitted a lot of improvement for Tegra to the main stream)

GPU Compute: CUDA 8.0.64, CUDA Libs

Multimedia: ISP Support, Camera Imaging, Video CODEC

More: ROS compatibility, OpenGL 4.5, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenGL EGL 1.4, Vulkan 1.0.3, GStreamer, advanced developer tools… and much more

Also connectivity has been improved:

3x USB 2

3x USB 3

PCIe 1×4 + 1×1 or 2×1 + 1×2

6x CSI cameras

Support for DSI display

Support for HDMI display

Digital MIC

Digital Speakers

Gigabit Ethernet

Wifi

5x I2C

3x SPI

2x CAN

Nvidia is highly focusing on Artificial Intelligence for Robotics, Automotive and Security, the new Jetson TX2 will really speed up the embedded applications that require high computational power.

Next he unboxing video and a few photos of the development kit… new videos will follow in the next days exploring CUDA and Computer Vision capabilities:

The Toradex Ixora Carrier Board, the CSI Camera Module and the Apalis iMX8 will make a great combination to take advantage of the high-performance computer vision processing capabilities of the NXP i.MX 8QuadMax.

Robert Thompson, i.MX Ecosystem Manager at NXP

“NXP realizes that one of the keys to success for the i.MX 8QuadMax processor is enabling an active ecosystem so a wide range of customers can achieve a faster time to market,” said Robert Thompson, i.MX Ecosystem Manager at NXP. “Toradex, with its long history of success in developing i.MX based SOMs is an ideal partner to help NXP launch the i.MX 8Quad Max and accelerate customer development.”  

The Apalis iMX8 will work with any Toradex Apalis carrier board. Toradex will provide a Yocto Project based Linux Board Support Package (BSP). The BSP additionally includes support for FreeRTOS on the Cortex-M4F cores to fully leverage the Heterogeneous Multicore Processing (HMP) architecture of the i.MX 8QuadMax. As with all Toradex modules, online resources such as the developer center, community forum and webinars provide extensive documentation for getting started and beyond. Toradex also provides free local technical support for all its products.

Toradex partners will provide additional Apalis-optimized 3rd-party solutions extending the broad Apalis ecosystem.

Well, it’s been a while since I published the latest news about MyzharBot project, what’s better than starting again from a really big news? Nvidia has presented the new Jetson module, Nvidia Jetson TX2 and it’s ready to get on board of MyzharBot

What’s about the new “embedded monster” released by Nvidia? While the step from the Jetson TK1 to the Jetson TK2 has been very big, this time Nvidia put the focus on the continuity: the new Jetson TX2 is a module really similar to the Jetson TX1, with the same dimensions and, more important, pin to pin compatible with the former one. We can continue to use the carrier boards that we are using with Jetson TX1, but with more and more computational power.

Nvidia Jetson TX2

So what’s new respect to the Jetson TX1… sit down and read carefully, it’s impressive:

GPU: from Maxwell to Pascal up to 1.3Ghz

CPU: added dual core 64bit Denver (up to 2.0Ghz) to the existing four cores 64 bit A57

Memory: from 4 GB 64bit LPDDR4 to 8 GB 128bit LPDDR4

Storage: doubled the eMMC to 32 GB

Video Encode: from 2160p @ 30 FPS to 2160p @ 60 FPS 

Hence what can we do with the new Jetson TX2? We can run 6 DNNs, while making 2x Object Tracking and decoding two 4K 30FPS streams, composing the result and encoding it to 2 streams H265… quite impressive!!!

NVidia has not only worked  on the hardware, new software is coming too. The new Jetpack v3.0 will be released soon and it is highly focused on Artificial Intelligence:

Deep Learning: TensorRT 1.0 GA, cuDNN 5.1, DIGITS Workflow

Computer Vision: VisionWorks 1.6, OpenCV4Tegra 2.4.13 (OpenCV 3 is available compiling from source Nvidia submitted a lot of improvement for Tegra to the main stream)

GPU Compute: CUDA 8.0.64, CUDA Libs

Multimedia: ISP Support, Camera Imaging, Video CODEC

More: ROS compatibility, OpenGL 4.5, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenGL EGL 1.4, Vulkan 1.0.3, GStreamer, advanced developer tools… and much more

Also connectivity has been improved:

3x USB 2

3x USB 3

PCIe 1×4 + 1×1 or 2×1 + 1×2

6x CSI cameras

Support for DSI display

Support for HDMI display

Digital MIC

Digital Speakers

Gigabit Ethernet

Wifi

5x I2C

3x SPI

2x CAN

Nvidia is highly focusing on Artificial Intelligence for Robotics, Automotive and Security, the new Jetson TX2 will really speed up the embedded applications that require high computational power.

Next he unboxing video and a few photos of the development kit… new videos will follow in the next days exploring CUDA and Computer Vision capabilities:
