Podcasts about Akoya

Recorded live at Money 20/20, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada, Eyal is joined by the open banking leads from three major US aggregators: John Pitts, Head of Policy at Plaid; Jane Barratt, Chief Advocacy Officer at MX; and Anil Mahalaha, Chief Evangelist at Akoya. Aggregators, sometimes called data access networks, provide third parties with connectivity to a wide range of banks. In the US in particular, they are uniquely crucial, having built out an early form of open banking over the past few decades. As the region moves towards standardization and regulation, they will continue to play a pivotal role. Together, Eyal and his guests discuss the continued implications of the CFPB's final ruling on Personal Financial Data Rights, the evolving role of aggregators, and the impact of API-driven connectivity. The conversation explores whether regulation is truly necessary, how it will shape the competitive landscape, and what's next for the future of financial data access in America. Specifically they discuss:CFPB's Personal Financial Data Rights RuleThe role of aggregators in the U.S.The transition from screen scraping to APIsPerspectives on secondary data useThe commercialization of data access

Akoya CEO Paul LaRusso and National Bankers Association President & CEO Nicole Elam join Niki in the studio to break down the API revolution in banking. They explore why, after decades of traditional banking, there's been a growing demand for so-called “open banking,” what the CFPB's new rule means for consumers and financial institutions, and how organizations are navigating this tech transition. Plus, Niki shares why screen scraping makes her nervous, Nicole predicts that the future of banking means being both high-tech and high-touch, and Paul makes the case for consumer control of their banking data.  “As a consumer, I should be able to choose what application I want to use, what data I want to use, and with who and for how long. And we're trying to empower that consumer to do that.” -Paul LaRusso“Fintechs were thought of as disruptors and now they're not seen as disruptors. Now they're a necessary partner that you've got to have at the table to help you serve your customers.” - Nicole ElamFollow Paul LaRusso on LinkedInFollow Nicole Elam on LinkedInLearn more about AkoyaLearn more about the National Bankers Association Learn More at www.techedup.com Check out video on YouTube Follow Niki on LinkedIn

Open banking is often cast as an antidote to the dominance of big banks. Given that its origins stem from the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, this perspective is not terribly surprising. But is this characterisation a fair one? Does open banking have to be a threat to big banks, or can it be turned into an opportunity? To answer these questions and more, we turn to Paul LaRusso. Paul is a business leader with over 20 years of experience in mobile financial services and technology. Paul is the CEO of Akoya, a bank-sanctioned data access network that is leading the way in the US open finance sector. Prior to joining Akoya, Paul served as the Head of Open Banking and Connected Banking at JP Morgan Chase, where he held technology leadership positions for almost 15 years. Today as head of Akoya, Paul aims to transform the way people share their data, making it more secure, private, reliable, and transparent. In this episode, Eyal and Paul unpack the history of open banking and the evolution in the market-driven approach that Paul has had the benefit of seeing up close.Specifically they discuss: The history of open bankingThe benefits of CFPB regulationsWhat the US can learn from the UKWhat the big banks need to knowWhy open banking is a two-way street

What you'll learn in this episode:   How Melanie discovered that classic pearls could be seen in a new light. Why younger people, especially men, are embracing pearl jewelry in a new way.  How Melanie's collaboration with Tasaki broke barriers for Japanese customers.  The difference between types of pearls, and what it's like to work with them.  How launching her brand right after art school gave Melanie a crash course in the jewelry business.    About Melanie Georgacopoulos   With a background in sculpture, jewellery designer Melanie Georgacopoulos works with materials in new ways to release their potential and stimulate new interpretations. She began her exploration of the pearl during her Master's degree at the RCA in 2007, after which she worked as a freelance designer under Antoine Sandoz for major international brands, before establishing her eponymous label in 2010.   In Melanie's work the paradoxical, intriguing nature of pearls and mother of pearl is at the core of every piece, whilst the aesthetic remains simple, structured and timeless. She continually strives to challenge the existing preconceptions of these organic materials and that of traditional jewellery design itself. It is this unique approach which has given her the opportunity to showcase her pieces regularly at fairs, exhibitions and galleries worldwide.   Melanie became well known internationally for her work with pearls, leading to her collaboration with TASAKI, which began in 2013. Directional line M/G TASAKI was born, marring Melanie's flair to cross design boundaries with the Japanese jewellery company's world renowned craftsmanship. Following the huge success of the seasonal collections Melanie was appointed Head Designer for M/G TASAKI in 2015. She has been a visiting lecturer at Central Saint Martins for the last four years whilst she continues to create her own collections and one-off pieces for special projects.   Additional Resources: Website Instagram Photos available on TheJewelryJourney.com Transcript: Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the second part of a two-part episode. If you haven't heard part one, please head to TheJewelryJourney.com.    Today, we're talking with Melanie Georgacopoulos. Melanie occupies some unusual niches. She's a specialist in designing with pearls, which is very unusual. For those of you who are listening who think that pearls are too old-fashioned or too formal, she has really changed the way pearls are viewed. She lives in Hamburg but has her office in London. She's also the Chief Designer for a collaboration with a Japanese company, Tasaki. Welcome back.    Do you work with pearls in all colors?   Melanie: Absolutely. This journey over the last few years has also been a journey for myself. I also started with this idea that there are only white, round pearls out there, and that's not true. There are Tahitian pearls, South Sea pearls, Akoya pearls. There's a whole world of natural pearls. There are different shapes, different sizes. Some are extremely rare, like conch pearls or melo pearls. Some are very common, like freshwater pearls.    During this journey of discovery for myself, I've tried to launch some collections which focus on a certain kind of pearl to highlight it. For one of the collections I did, the Nacre Collection, I paired a pink pearl with a pink mother of pearl in way that's like the return of the pearl to its oyster, or a golden South Sea to the golden sea mother of pearl shell. Sometimes I'm sent messages through Instagram by suppliers or pearl farmers who say, “Hey, have you seen this? Do you want to work with what I make?” I'm like “Wow! This is new to me.” I've been working with pearls for 10 years and it keeps on giving. I find that fantastic.   Sharon: Do you have a favorite pearl? Do you think one is better than another? Is a South Sea pearl better or easier to work with than an Akoya?    Melanie: I don't think there's a better one. In terms of value, of course the more expensive the pearl, probably the better it is for investment. Another common thing I've heard said is that at the end of the day, you just have to like what it is you're buying. You want to wear it. You don't want to necessarily buy it and put it in the safe because you're too scared to wear it or use it because it's something too valuable.   I really enjoy working with South Seas because they are so large. I've almost finished a bracelet which has a mix of Tahitians and Akoyas, and it's black and white. So, I'm mixing different kinds. The challenge with pearls is that they don't all come in all the sizes and the colors you want. So, depending on the size or the color you want for a design, you have to get it from a specific place. A lot of times, people don't mix a Tahitian pearl with a freshwater pearl because it's not considered to be right. You just have to use Tahitians or you just have to use freshwater. Because I'm very design-led, I will say, “No, if I want to have a pearl graduation from a two-millimeter pearl to a three-millimeter pearl, then I'm going to mix the pearls.” But color-wise, they're going to look exactly the same and they're going to match together. So right now, it's definitely South Seas, but ask me next year. I might have a different answer.   Sharon: I want to know where you find a three-millimeter pearl. That's a big pearl.    Melanie: You wonder if it's hiding something inside.    Sharon: Do people come to you and say, “Here are my grandmother's pearls or my mother's pearls. I want something different made out of them”?   Melanie: I have that too. They're probably the most challenging pearls to work with because first of all, they're very sentimental to their owners. It's the one thing you can't throw away, but you also don't want to wear it and you don't know what to do with it. A lot of those poor pearl necklaces stay in boxes, and it's challenging to say to someone, “Can I drill that necklace? Can I change it quite a bit? Are you sure, or do you want to keep it original the way you inherited it?”    But I have some great clients that text me photos and are like, “Oh, I have this necklace and I don't know what to do with it. Maybe you have an idea.” Then I say, “O.K., but then you have to tell me who you are,” because it's designed for them. It's not even a piece they chose to buy themselves. It's something they inherited. They never decided, “This is the pearl size I like or that suits me.” A lot of times, I need to add or change it quite dramatically so they can incorporate it into their daily life and feel that it's part of them. But I love those challenges, I have to say. I invite those challenges. I learn a lot from them.   Sharon: Do you look at a necklace and see what it could be?   Melanie: I have to get the measurements. This is the age of digital now, which means photos. I ask them to take a photo of the necklace next to a ruler so I understand how big it is, how long the necklace is or how big the pearls are, because you're not going to ask a person you've never met to send you their pearl necklace. We have a lot of conversations before anything actually happens. I need to understand what their budget is—that's also important—and what their expectation is. Sometimes they want a bracelet; sometimes they want earrings. So, we need to discuss that. Then see what I can actually do with the piece they have, because sometimes they have unrealistic expectations. I have to rein them in a little bit.   Sharon: When you say unrealistic expectations, do they expect you to make the pearl larger when it's really small?   Melanie: Yeah, I think sometimes they have an idea of a pearl necklace or a piece of jewelry, a bracelet, and that's not possible with the pearls from the necklace they have. So, we either need to add pearls, or we need to start fresh and use the existing pearl necklace for something else.   Sharon: You also mix gold and other things with your pearls. You had a couple of necklaces with gold woven in.   Melanie: Yeah, I use gold, 18 carats. I also use diamonds. I've worked with sapphires before, anything really. I used silver chains at the beginning. A few years ago, I was doing larger pieces, so it made more sense to use silver. I used palladium at some point.    You can't do everything with everything. The best thing is to figure out what you want to make and then the best way to make it. Sometimes it's a question of cost. Sometimes it's a question of what the client wants. Sometimes it's what I want the design to be and how much I'm willing to compromise, but at the end of the day, it needs to be a piece of jewelry that can be worn and enjoyed. That's when the piece of jewelry really becomes alive.   Sharon: So, you have your own brand and your Tasaki collection. That's a lot of designing.    Melanie: Yeah, I love it. I'm really lucky. It's exactly what I wanted.    Sharon: Have you ever been approached by other places who see what you do with the pearls? Do they say, “Hey, that's really different. Why don't you come do it for us?”   Melanie: Yes, but so far, my relationship with Tasaki is working so well that I don't need to look anywhere else. I'm also not greedy. I'm very loyal. I want this to run its course, until whenever it's meant to go, and see what happens. Obviously, there are elements I can control, and that is how much I love to work for them and how good the designs are. There are a lot of cultural, social, political elements I can't control. There's no way to know when this is going to end or slow down, but for now I haven't found another partnership that has offered me the degree of freedom I have and the satisfaction I get from seeing the M/G Tasaki pieces on demanding Japanese clients.    Sharon: Has anybody ever brought you a whole bunch of conch pearls or melo pearls or natural pearls and not realized what they had?   Melanie: Not yet. I think that's part of my wish list, that someone comes with a suitcase full of conch or melo pearls and says, “How much are these strange-looking pearls?” I would send them straight to the bank or to an auction house. I think it's the age where more people know what they have because they're able to find a lot of information on the internet. I think more and more it's the sentimental aspect of what you have. Of course, if you are a millionaire, then it's different, but I'm not. I think a lot of times, we cherish things that have no monetary value, but they're highly, highly sentimental. So, we'll see. Maybe someone does have one.    Sharon: Do they bring natural pearls to you?   Melanie: Some do, yes. They have natural pearl strands, but the pearls tend to be quite small. They were made at a different time. A hundred years ago, you didn't have access to cultured pearls. That trend had just started. So, there are still people who have inherited a small, thin strand of natural pearls.   Sharon: You won a prize for the Diamond Fishbone Bangle, which I thought was gorgeous. Tell us about the prize and how you heard about it. Can you wear this bracelet with the mother of pearl? It looks very fragile. That's what it looks like.   Melanie: It's not as fragile as it looks. No one really goes around banging their hands when they're wearing jewelry. I think you're a bit conscious when you wear something. Even when you're wearing a nice pullover, you're not going run your arm on the wall. You're a bit more self-conscious. The prize was great because it's a wonderful group, the Cultured Pearl Association of America, if I'm not mistaken, and Jennifer Heebner is the executive director. We've been in touch with her. It's a great recognition. It's always nice when your peers recognize something good you've done.    Recently I got another award in London from the Goldsmiths, which is a very old institution. They awarded my lapidary work. I submitted a bangle made of mother of pearl which was carved. I had two old mine-cut diamonds inserted and set with gold prongs. I think they recognized the audacity and the search to present something new. This is how I took the award, and it gives me energy to carry on what I do. But I get the award and then the next day, I still wake up and take my kids to school. Life goes on very quickly after the awards, but it's still a nice recognition.   Sharon: Why did you name it the Diamond Fishbone?   Melanie: Because I'm not very good with names of jewelry. I always try to stay quite close to reality. Because the sheets of mother of pearl are layered in a fishbone pattern, I thought I would name it the Fishbone.   Sharon: I see, O.K. Originally, I thought, “Why is it a fishbone?” Did the prize make any difference in what you do?   Melanie: If it had been accompanied with a check of $500,000 U.S. dollars, it could have made a big difference. I could have bought some conch or some melos. No, it doesn't really, but it's a nice recognition. Unfortunately, they don't come with monetary prizes, which would be nice, to be honest, because it's nice to get that kind of support. But it's already a really nice accolade. That's why I entered last year also, and that's why I try and present work to these awards. I think it is important that other people become aware of the work I do. I think it's quite inspiring to students to see that these pieces are possible to make and that someone is doing them.   Sharon: Some people feel like they entered and didn't win, so why are they going to all this trouble? Do you feel that way at all?   Melanie: No. I entered the Susan Beech Award recently over Christmas. I spent a big chunk of my Christmas writing that proposal. I didn't get shortlisted, and that's O.K., but that was quite a difficult entry for a competition. You have to write down the budget, and it was a lot of work. It wasn't just, “Oh, I'm submitting a photo and the dimensions of the piece.”    Sometimes someone comes a few years later and says, “Hey, I was part of the award panel, the judging panel. You didn't get it, but I still remember that piece you did. Maybe you want to do something now.” So, even if the result is not immediate in that I might have expected to win the award, other things are happening in the background that I'm not necessarily aware of and which might surface a few months or a few years later. So, it's a process. It's not really about winning. It's more about making steps, connecting to people, being active and not expecting things to come to me. I really see it like this.   Sharon: I have questions about several things you said. I read this on your website or Tasaki's website; I don't remember where. Actually, I remember a couple of things. You talked about a statement piece. I happen to like statement pieces, but every time I look at statement, they're not my kind of statement. But you had really different statement pieces, so I thought, “Well, that's interesting.” You described pearls as gems. Do you consider them a gem of sorts?   Melanie: They are officially gemstones.   Sharon: Are they?   Melanie: Yeah, they are classified as gemstones. There are other organic gemstones such as coral, but there was a time when pearls were considered the only organic gemstones. That's why I also call them gems. I think the way they're made is fascinating, because even if they're cultured—most pearls are cultured these days—you still need a little oyster to do the work for a couple of years to get one. Of course, the oyster is inseminated, but you still need that little animal to do this. For me, this is magical. It feels like a gem anyway because it is precious, but I think officially we call them gemstones.   Sharon: I don't think of them as gemstones, but that's interesting. What I was surprised at was that you developed cufflinks for men. Not many people design jewelry for men. What does that do for you?   Melanie: I think this is a sector which is going to grow. I think more and more men are interested in their appearance. You see the cosmetic industry growing. Fashion, of course, is growing. If you look at red carpets, the Oscars, you see more and more men wearing not only jewelry, but pearl necklaces. That has happened in the last year, year-and-a-half. It's always the classic white pearl necklace, because I think this is the contrast they're looking for in terms of cultural significance. I don't know if it's going to progress into different kinds of pearl jewelry, but there is a lot of interest from men now to extend their style into jewelry, and cufflinks are quite a big part of how they dress formally, although not in their everyday lives necessarily.   Sharon: I have been told that men collect cufflinks. My husband doesn't wear them, but I have been told that men do collect cufflinks. You're very international. Is it that your dad is Greek and your mom is Greek and French?    Melanie: My dad is Greek. My mother is French. Now I am married to a German, hence living in Hamburg, and my brother lives in Switzerland. We're still European, so I guess not that international, but it's interesting to grow up with two languages. It's the same as my kids now, growing up with two languages and just being open to the world.   Sharon: So, you learned French before, and then you learned English just by going to school and learning?   Melanie: Yeah, English is the first international language taught in Greece. From the age of seven, I learned Greek at school. Then when I was able to study in Edinburgh, that's where I really learned English in the sense of everyday life. Now I've learned German, so I speak my fourth language.   Sharon: Wow! How does it happen that you have a London office? You live in Hamburg, but you have a London office. How did that come about?   Melanie: That is because after I finished my studies at the Royal College of Art, I stayed there. I had my office and my business, and when we moved to Hamburg seven years ago, I decided to keep that. Moving to Hamburg was for personal reasons, and it made sense to keep all my contacts and my clients and my business where it started. Of course, there was Covid in between, but now what I'm trying to do is grow the German part. The business in London is still there. I have someone working for me there.    I'm able to fly quite often now after Covid, and now I'm in the process of looking at what kind of fairs I can do here in Hamburg. Of course, in Munich, there is a very big jewelry scene. I was at Munich Jewelry Week last week. I think there's a lot to do in Germany because there's a lot of jewelry manufacturing, and there are a lot of jewelry artists and practitioners. I haven't had the opportunity to connect with this part of my life here in Hamburg yet, but I'm in the process of doing that now. It's exciting.   Sharon: Were you unusual in that you opened your business right after school, right after the Royal College of Art?    Melanie: I don't think so. That's a positive and a negative, but if you finish a college like Central Saint Martins or the Royal College of Art, you are expected to be a designer or to start your own practice. I say it's a negative because a lot of times you're not encouraged or not given the possibility to work for other people so you really learn more about how a business is run with all the steps. You're supposed to start everything from scratch by yourself. Obviously, this has its own challenges, but I think lots of us started our own brands straight after. Of course, over time, some people do end up working for others, and some people continue to do their own practice like I have.   Sharon: That's very hard. Did you have business classes in school?   Melanie: No.   Sharon: No, nothing.   Melanie: After all the possible mistakes—and I'm going to make more—I've come to a conclusion that I've learned a lot from all the mistakes, and I've figured out how to do things my way. If I could go back, I think I would work longer for someone else, simply because it's an invaluable experience. Once you've started your own company, it's hard to then work for someone else, but it is what it is. I feel like I can stand on my own two feet now.   Sharon: Well, 10 years is a long time. It's a short time and it's a long time.    Melanie: Hopefully it's a short time for me.   Sharon: Thank you so much for being with us today. We really appreciate it.    Melanie: It's been a pleasure talking with you Sharon. Thank you.   Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website.

Join Lucy and Tawnya as they go straight to the source with long time shellfish farmer Glenn to find out about the extraordinary Akoya, a sustainable new shellfish which he and partners Leeuwin Coast hope will change not only the food we eat, but how that food is produced. The Akoya is unique to the Albany coastline of Western Australia and has evolved from pearl cultivation to food. It will be introduced to Sydney chefs this week through a series of exclusive masterclasses and there is much excitement about the myriad ways chefs might find to incorporate this unique ingredient into their culinary creativity.

Before inking deals with the nation's biggest banks and financial institutions, fintech Akoya was focused on secure open finance.  The Boston-based fintech, which originated as an application programming interface (API) division under Fidelity Investments, is now owned by several banks, including the $3.24 trillion Bank of America, $2.3 trillion Citi and $1.95 trillion Wells Fargo. The fintech tackled rampant screen scraping to shore up security at Fidelity before becoming an independent entity, Anil Mahalaha, co-founder and head of solutions at Akoya, tells Bank Automation News in this episode of “The Buzz” podcast. “Back in 2018, we were part of the fidelity access API group that was turning up APIs for Fidelity Investments,” Mahalaha says. “The reason we were doing that is because Fidelity realized the amount of screen scraping that was going on, which was really concerning to Fidelity, where the fintechs had Fidelity usernames and passwords. “What we started looking into is ‘how we can make it more secure for the customer and the customers' data?,'” he says. As Fidelity was building out its APIs and tokenization capabilities, the investment firm noticed similar issues occurring at related companies, Mahalaha says, adding that fintechs were scraping “much more” than just usernames and passwords through their aggregators. This prompted Fidelity and Akoya to reach out.  “With the help of The Clearing House, back in February 2020, Akoya became an independent company, which is jointly owned by about 11 North American banks and Fidelity Investments,” Mahalaha says.  Listen as he talks best practices for banks engaging with new and challenging data and gives details into Akoya's upcoming developments. 

In this chapter, Xia Ji is confronted by Akoya and Gaoh Rykki.

普通人如何选购宝石？基本珠宝日常购买指南参与：冷芸时尚9群群友时间：2022年3月12日庄主：曹凝-昆山-模特｜一｜钻石类庄主：这条手链上就包含黄钻、粉钻、绿钻，但是大家能看到黄色也有浅有深。所以彩钻也是有等级的，从低到高分别是黑-咖啡-黄-绿-蓝-粉-红，红钻就非常稀少。我做了10年珠宝，也就看到过几颗，钻石的颜色是由于内含物不同所决定的。（图片来源:庄主自制）｜二｜有机宝石之珍珠类庄主：先给大家一张图：金色，黑色，白色，粉白色，灰色。南洋金珠，大溪地黑珍珠，澳洲白珠，日本Akoya珍珠，真多麻。（图片来源:庄主自制）（图片来源:庄主自制）这些珍珠也是我们开蚌出来的，比较好的珍珠就拿来设计款式，比较差的拿去打珍珠粉了。大家知道珍珠的好和差怎么区分？现在年轻女生很多喜欢素珠的珍珠项链，形状不能归结为瑕疵。巴洛克珍珠也分等级的，同样也会参考六个判断标准。（图片来源:庄主自制）比如这张照片，其实很多年轻女生喜欢，今年特别流行卫衣搭配一条珍珠项链。今年淡水珍珠很热门，一九年开始国家限制海水珍珠的养殖，因为水域污染特别严重，所以海水珍珠价格开始上涨，再加上这两年疫情，海水珍珠涨价特别厉害。｜三｜彩色宝石类庄主：是的，天然红颜色有差别，达到主证鸽血红的是最好的颜色。如果这颗红宝石的国际证书上颜色的那一栏里除了有鸽血红的标志以外还有个小星星，我们就叫做主证鸽血红，找张证书给大家看一下。（图片来源:庄主自制）市面上流通的红宝石主要有四个产地，分别是中国，缅甸，泰国和斯里兰卡。缅甸抹谷地区产出的红宝石中，鸽血红红宝石价值最高，斯里兰卡的红宝石透明度高，颜色柔和，呈现比较靓丽的红色。泰国是最重要的红宝石交易市场，世界上80%以上的红宝石都要通过泰国曼谷去交易。泰国红宝石中比较受欢迎的是玫红色的大颗红宝石。中国也产红宝石，主要发现于云南、安徽等地，以紫红色、玫瑰红色为主。大家在市面上看到的很多星光红宝石，中国产的偏多。（图片来源:庄主自制）红宝石又名刚玉，它的硬度非常硬，钻石的硬度是最硬的。那么我们在购买时也要注意几个点，首先是我们已经说过的颜色，以色泽鲜亮的红色为优选，再就是在预算允许的情况下，肯定是尽量选择颗粒大一点的。对于瑕疵来说，内部晶体越干净的等级越高。还有一个关键点就是优化处理，热处理是最常见的方法，我们叫做“有烧”，这已经被大家所接受了，如果预算能购买“无烧”的，自然是最好的。如果预算有限，尽量考虑颜色和净度。大家购买的时候一定要有相应的证书，并且最好能够去复检，有烧能够被接受，但如果是经过充填处理和染色处理的是一定不能要的。给大家一个差不多的价格对比：比如我们批发商在售出的一克拉的，无烧的，颜色比较红的，晶体还不错的红宝石，价位差不多就是在10,000元左右，这是市场普遍可接受的价格范围，那么越好肯定是越贵。或者某个参考点可以放宽标准的话，价格还能够下来。蓝宝石大家都见过了吧？（图片来源:庄主自制）这三张照片，第一张是失车菊色，第二个是变色，他有蓝色和紫色两个变色，第三张是皇家蓝色，购买蓝宝石我们从五个方面着手，大家知道哪五个方面吗？可以把我们之前说的结合一下。其实蓝宝石就是除红宝石以外，其他颜色刚玉的统称。因为蓝色系居多，所以定名为蓝宝石，还有粉色、黄色、绿色、白色、橙色等等。（图片来源:庄主自制）大家看这条项链上出现的颜色都叫做蓝宝石。所以我们在选购蓝宝石的时候，第一个注意点就是颜色，第二个自然也是产地。克什米尔，斯里兰卡，泰国，缅甸，澳大利亚，以及中国的山东昌乐是蓝宝石的主要产地。其中斯里兰卡和克什米尔的蓝宝石一般成微带紫的靛蓝色，艳丽纯正，透明度高，品质好，所以被广大收藏者喜欢。澳大利亚，山东昌乐的蓝宝石因为透明度差，杂质比较多，一般都会进行优化处理。第三，我们说其实呈现蓝色的石头有很多。还是有不少商家用来滥竽充数，所以鉴定就变得非常重要，大家尽量购买的时候一定要证书，而且进行复检。并且因为宝石类的开采都非常危险，这也是他们价格高的原因之一。目前我们看到的用来冒充蓝宝石的有水晶，托帕石，锆石，荧石，玻璃等等。第四就是我们刚刚说的跟红宝石差不多的，预算允许的情况下尽量购买无烧，预算有限的情况下有烧可以接受。但证书上出现处理充填染色等等是一定不能要的。第五就是参考4C标准。下面我来介绍一下祖母绿。几乎所有祖母绿的切割，都要浸泡在高压油桶里。‘（图片来源:庄主自制）这个戒指还不是很高的级别。我带的这条项链，吊坠上面的这颗祖母绿，级别算比较高的。这个设计我们用了挺多配石的，除了有小碎钻以外，就是用到了彩色蓝宝石。芸友Needle：对，其实我一直还有个疑惑，就是这些东西的保值程度，小于多少尺寸就不保值了呢？庄主：其实保值并不是完全根据大小尺寸来的，它有很多深度。继续我们刚刚说的，祖母绿要浸泡在高压油桶里面切割。所以含油量直接影响了祖母绿的品级，国际证书上标注的油量越少，就可以证明这颗祖母绿品质越高，当然这是单以油量来区别。第二个关键就是颜色。民间又喜欢叫他奶奶绿，颜色越绿，越清亮越好，这个我准备了几张图片让大家看一下，这是我们鉴定学会珠宝课的一些图片。（图片来源：珠宝课）第二张图大家可以看到，注油以后它的瑕疵明显就淡化了。｜四｜蜜蜡类庄主：大家知道蜜蜡吗？其实它是琥珀的一种。琥珀的范围太广，所以我就提出来单独讲一讲蜜蜡，因为他也是市面上比较被大家喜欢的。蜜蜡是松树的汁液经过上千万年的埋藏和地下压力、热力的影响而形成的一种矿物质，颜色比较缤纷，不透明，质地比较轻。无论是手串、项链、耳坠都广泛被人喜欢。因为喜欢它的人很多，所以市面上我们说的假货也很多。有经过热处理的，有染色，甚至于还有粉压。所以大家在选购的时候一定要找专业人士靠谱商家，并且要求出具证书，对应形状颜色克重尺寸等等。常见的几个形状我发给大家看一下。（图片来源:庄主自制）

In part two of chapter 149, Narushima Koga manages to get a submission against Utsubuki Kokuro in the Purgatory match. Later on, we learn that Akoya, Setsuna, and Ryuki team up for an up coming mission.

Even though Brian McKelligon calls himself a rookie CEO, he comes to the top position at Akoya Biosciences with a veteran's resume. His path to one of spatial biology's hottest companies in 2022 worked him up the ranks of some of the top names in life science tools: Affymetrix, Ingenuity, Ion Torrent, and 10X Genomics. Last year Brian led Akoya through an IPO and this year the company has launched a new integrated product line called the Phenocycler-Fusion which they are calling the fastest single-cell spatial biology system on the market.

What does it take to not just build, but scale, a trust framework for interoperable digital identity? On this week's State of Identity podcast host, Cameron D'Ambrosi is joined by Daniel Goldscheider, Founder & CEO of yes.com, Don Thibeau, Executive Director at OpenID Foundation, Carl Hössner, CTO at BankID, and Anil Mahalaha, Head of Solutions at Akoya, to discuss the launch of the Global Assured Identity Network (GAIN). They discuss GAIN's core mission of leveraging bank KYC to validate online identities, with interoperability provided by the fundamental OpenID standard.

What you’ll learn in this episode: How jewelry can be used to tell people’s life stories What “ningen” are, and how Asagi uses them in her work Where Asagi draws her inspiration from How Asagi has taken “jewelry as sculpture” to a new level About Asagi Maeda Asagi Maeda lives in Tokyo, where she makes jewelry and lectures on jewelry making at Jyoshibi University of Art and Design. She is fascinated by the notion of the city being a mass of boxes we can peer into and catch a glimpse of a stranger’s life. She’s translated this idea into her necklaces, bracelets, and rings, which feature tiny worlds. What delights her most about her creations is that people can both wear them as adornment and become part of the worlds they depict. Asagi has been included in solo and group exhibitions at Mobilia Gallery, SOFA Chicago, LOOT, the National Ornamental Metal Museum, and Dan Ginza Gallery in Tokyo. Her work is part of the jewelry collections at the Museum of Arts and Design, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and numerous international private collections.  Transcript Additional Resources Facebook Instagram Website Youtube Stories on the planet - Newest work which must be exhibited at Mobilia Gallery right now Necklace (consists of 7 brooches, a pair of earrings and a pin) Sterling Silver, K18 yellow gold, Acrylic plate, Enamel, South sea pearl, Akoya pearls, CZ, Opal, Coral, Rock crystal quartz plates  Link to Video "Folding the Laundry" pendant. 2019. sterling silver (rhodium,k18 plates), amazonite, methacrylate resin "An objet d’art for players" 2018. Sterling silver, k18, Akoya pearls. W88 x D 88 x H69 mm "JOY" Necklace. 2007. Sterling silver, k18, enamel on fine silver, enamel, milky amber, white sapphire "Escape from the routine life" Bracelet. 2002. Sterling silver, k18, acrylic glass, onyx, coral

Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I’m Tearsheet editor in chief, Zack Miller. My guest today is Stuart Rubinstein, CEO of Akoya. A spin out of Fidelity, Akoya is a financial data aggregator that lets the customers of financial institutions grant and revoke third party access to their financial data safely. Akoya facilitates this access and eliminates the need for consumers to share their user IDs and passwords. Stuart talks about Akoya’s roots and how he’s been thinking about data aggregation for years. He discusses the need for APIs, to move beyond the era of screen scraping. Rubinstein also shares his view of open finance and Akoya’s future. Stuart Rubinstein is my guest on the Tearsheet Podcast.

CEO of Akoya Biosciences, Brian McKelligon, discusses how technology can improve and advance research in the field of immuno-oncology. In this episode, you will learn: How the therapies in immuno-oncology use the immune system to shut down the pathways responsible for unchecked tumor growth, which leads to metastases How the identification of more predictive biomarkers will improve overall health economics Why Akoya's technology is first being applied to the neurological space and therapies for breast cancer, lung cancer, and melanomas   In essence, immuno-oncology is the study of how to treat cancer by unlocking the power of the immune system and leveraging it against metastatic processes. In recent years, therapeutic modalities in this field have been exploding, and the goal at Akoya is to provide technology to scientists in academic, biopharmaceutical, and government institutions who are developing these therapies. The cornerstone of Akoya's technology is the identification of biomarkers predictive of the success of immuno-oncology therapy for individual patients. Instead of merely detecting whether or not a biomarker is present, McKelligon emphasizes the importance of locating where in the tissues they are present, determining how many are present, and obtaining proximal measurements between biomarkers. Standard technologies are only able to detect up to three biomarkers at a time, whereas the Akoya technology allows for the detection of 30 to 50 at a time, making it an excellent and much-needed tool for next generation tissue analysis. This technology will allow scientists to locate more predictive biomarkers, which will in turn benefit health economics and patient care.   Learn more at https://akoyabio.com/.

The “supermarket” days of financial institutions providing all of our financial services and holding all of our accounts are long over. Brokerages, insurance companies, and the expanding array of fintechs compete to hold, manage, or organize our assets. With so many custodians of our financial data, it can be difficult for an individual to generate a complete picture of her finances. That’s been a longstanding problem that was addressed over two decades ago by data aggregators like personal financial management app Mint. Individuals found this single portal approach quite useful. All we had to do was provide the aggregator with the login credentials to each of our online accounts. The aggregator would then log into that account on our behalf, “read” our data off of the web page, and display all of that data in a single consistent fashion (this is “screen scraping”, the method of data gathering that started it all). This single view capability has been a compelling proposition that dozens and dozens of firms have emulated in the years since. Further, use cases have proliferated where a fintech, for example, simply needs access to one or two accounts in order to fulfill its goals. The mobile app model has just accelerated the expansion of apps needing access to user account data. Yodlee and Plaid, now a Visa company acquired in a whopping big transaction, are examples of companies selling access to user account data either through screen scraping or, in a more modern approach, direct integration to individual financial institutions. Direct integration to each bank or credit union’s data is, of course, inefficient because each banks exposes its own interface. The syntax and functions of each vary making everyone’s development and maintenance tasks more difficult.. Evolution of a Standard Into this gap is the Financial Data Exchange organization. With over 100 members https://financialdataexchange.org/pages/members from a wide range of companies - Chase, Plaid, FS-ISAC, Intuit, PNC, Fannie Mae, Truist, Cashflow Solutions - its goal is to standardize the domain of permissioned at a sharing through an API layer in operates in front of financial institution data. FDX is a true standards organization. Its members pay dues, yes, but their more important contribution is time and effort. Working groups take on particular technical and usage aspects, develop them, and generate draft standards for the entire membership to ratify. One of its working groups focuses, for example, on the user experience, on the use cases that benefit from data sharing and how to make that process transparent and secure for end users. In this Payments on Fire® episode, George and FDX Managing Director Don Cardinal discuss the API, its many reasons for being, and the standards development process. They also discuss Akoya, Fidelity’s former data sharing unit that is now owned and operated by The Clearing House and 11 member banks. Akoya serves as a central integration provider making it easier for a fintech app to connect its users to the banks subscribing to the Akoya service. So take a listen. FDX is important to the fintech and financial services community. It’s important to end users. And it’s a great example of how comprehensive standards can be developed swiftly.  

Akoya Chief Technology Officer Wilson D'Souza joins State of Identity to share his vision for the future of open banking, how consumers will see value, and the benefits of moving past screen scraping.

To mainstream elements in the neighboring countries of Nigeria and Benin, the Kalakuta Republic, musician Fela Kuti's commune, was off-limits and the subject of rumors and innuendo. Raised in the Celestial Church of Christ, but inspired by the sounds of high life, juju, funk, and rhythm and blues - and Afrobeat - the genre that Fela Kuti revolutionized, Leon Ligan-Majek taught himself the guitar and crossed the border into Nigeria from Benin as a teenager. He took shelter in the only place he knew that offered the musical opportunities he was seeking, not to mentione room and board, the Lagos branch of Celestial.

Andy Müller wusste schon in der Primarschule, dass er mal in Asien leben will. Dass er mal Grosshändler von Südsee Zuchtperlen sein wird, nicht. Vor 50 Jahren wanderte der 72-Jährige nach Hong Kong aus. Heute lebt er mit seiner Familie in der Hafenstadt Kobe, im Westen von Japan. Andy Müller handelt seit vielen Jahren mit Akoya-, Südsee- und Tahiti-Zuchtperlen. Ein nicht alltäglicher Beruf. Kobe ist nicht nur bekannt für sein Kobe Rindfleisch, sondern auch als Perlen Stadt. Andy Müller ist Grosshändler. Zusammen mit seinen Spezialisten veredelt er die Perlen, bevor sie zum Juwelier kommen. Der Berner ist seit jeher fasziniert von der japanischen Kultur: «Die Japaner sind gebildete Menschen und legen eine enorme Arbeitsdisziplin an den Tag. Das Essen ist fantastisch, sogar wenn die Japaner westliche Gerichte auf den Teller zaubern». Seine Frau Yumi ist nicht nur im Perlenhandel tätig, sie sei auch eine super Köchin: «Yumi macht die beste Berner Rösti»!
