El actor, director de teatro, dramaturgo y escritor, Norman Briski, visitó el programa "Voces y memorias", conducido por el periodista Hernán Dobry, en Eco Medios AM 1220 el 16 de agosto de 2022, para conversar sobre su trayectoria en el mundo del espectáculo, su obra "La conducta de los pájaros" y su película "9.81".
Con motivo de la conmemoración del día del animal, Pacho O´Donnell repaso el origen de esta festividad creada por el proteccionista e impulsor de la ley nacional de protección de los animales, Lucas Albarracín en el año 1908. La fecha original del día del animal era celebrada el día 2 de mayo y con posterioridad al fallecimiento de Albarracín, la misma fue modificada al día de su muerte para que el también resultara homenajeado. En la segunda parte del programa, Pacho conversó con el reconocido actor y director de cine y teatro, Norman Briski, quien se refirió a su libro “+5” compuesto por cinco obras de teatro de su autoría, como así también a la actualidad de la industria editorial, y un repaso de su historia en la actuación.
El actor y director habló sobre su última película, "981", y otros proyectos artísticos que encaró durante estos últimos meses en los que la pandemia irrumpió en el sector. Asimismo, se refirió a su pasar durante la pandemia y celebró la vuelta a la presencialidad en los escenarios. Encuentro Nacional, lunes a viernes de 17.00 a 20.00 Con Luisa Valmaggia, Horacio Embón, Natalia Maderna, Nora Lafón, Daniela Bruno, Silvia Bacher, Claudio Leveroni y Carla Ruíz.
En Encuentro Nacional, Norman Briski habló sobre su última película, "981", y otros proyectos artísticos que encaró durante estos últimos meses en los que la pandemia irrumpió en el sector, y dijo que éste es un tiempo para incursionar en nuevas técnicas y estéticas que sirvan como alternativa a todas las restricciones que impuso la enfermedad.

Séneca fue muchas cosas: político, hombre de negocios, orador, poeta y, por supuesto, filósofo. Su obra más conocida es “Cartas a Lucilio”, escrita entre los años 62 y 64. En esa serie de epístolas, dirigidas a su discípulo y amigo, nos enseña cómo vivir. Usa al género epistolar para exponer sus enseñanzas filosóficas; son “cartas-tratados” sobre sus preocupaciones, vivencias y lecturas. Los textos son fascinantes y asequibles. Abarcan una multitud de temas, desde las cuestiones éticas a la naturaleza y pasando por las propiedades de la carne en gelatina para luchar contra los achaques. En este caso, elegimos una en la que habla del paso del tiempo. Lee el actor y director Norman Briski. ****** Séneca a su Lucilio saluda, Actúa así, Lucilio, reivindícate a ti mismo y también al tiempo del que hasta ahora fuiste despojado, desposeído o que te fuera escamoteado: reconquístalo y presérvalo. Convéncete que es tal como lo escribo: el tiempo nos es a veces arrebatado con violencia, otras usurpado, a veces simplemente se evanesce. Ignominiosa es sin embargo tal dilución cuando acontece por pura negligencia. Presta atención: gran parte de nuestra existencia transcurre o bien mediocremente vivida, o directamente no vivida, o de tal manera vivida que ni siquiera merece llamarse vida. ¿Quién puedes mencionar, capaz de poner un precio al tiempo, de evaluar el día, quién que comprenda que con cada día en parte muere? En esto justamente nos equivocamos burdamente: en la percepción de la muerte como un acontecimiento sólo del futuro. Gran parte de ella se encuentra ya tras de nosotros: cualquiera de nuestras épocas pasadas, es la muerte quien ya las posee. Condúcete entonces, Lucilio, como me lo manifiestas en tus escritos: amalgámate con cada una de tus horas, depende menos del mañana para tomar en tus manos el presente. Mientras la diferimos, la vida transcurre. Todo lo demás, ¡Oh Lucilio! nos es ajeno: sólo el tiempo, objeto tan fugaz como esquivo, es nuestro. Es la única posesión con la que la naturaleza nos invistió. ¡Y sin embargo toleramos a quienquiera desposeernos del mismo! Pero tanta es la necedad de los mortales, que nos sentimos en deuda frente a aquellos de quienes obtenemos cosas insignificantes y fútiles, sin duda substituibles. Pero nadie a quien se le consagra tiempo se estima estar en deuda, cuando no obstante beneficia del único bien que ni el más agradecido podrá restituir nunca. Te preguntas quizás lo que conmigo mismo acontece, yo que estos preceptos propugno. Te lo digo sin reparos: si bien vivo entre los fastuosos, soy diligente y llevo debida cuenta de mis gastos. No puedo decir que no pierda nada, pero sea lo que sea que pierda, puedo dar cuenta de su cuantía y de la razón de mi pobreza. Me acontece empero lo que a tantos otros que, sin culpa, cayeron en la indigencia: todos perdonan, nadie socorre. ¿Y entonces qué? No considero pobre aquel de alguna manera es aún capaz de gozar de lo poco que le queda. Pero en cuanto a ti, prefiero que te ocupes de ti mismo y que comiences en buena hora. En efecto, tal como solían decir nuestros mayores: "extemporáneo es el ahorro cuando ya se tocó fondo". El último resto no sólo es lo mínimo sino también lo peor. Seneca.

Today on the podcast, we speak with Ian Buck and Kari Briski of NVIDIA about new updates and achievements in deep learning. Ian begins by telling hosts Jon and Mark about his first project at NVIDIA, CUDA, and how it has helped expand and pave the way for future projects in super computing, AI, and gaming. CUDA is used extensively in computer vision, speech and audio applications, and machine comprehension, Kari elaborates. NVIDIA recently announced their new Tensor Cores, which maximize their GPUs and make it easier for users to achieve peak performance. Working with the Tensor Cores, TensorFlow AMP is an acceleration into the TensorFlow Framework. It automatically makes the right choices for neural networks and maximizes performance, while still maintaining accuracy, with only a two line change in Tensor Flow script. Just last year, NVIDIA announced their T4 GPU with Google Cloud Platform. This product is designed for inferences, the other side of AI. Because AI is becoming so advanced, complicated, and fast, the GPUs on the inference side have to be able to handle the workload and produce inferences just as quickly. T4 and Google Cloud accomplish this together. Along with T4, NVIDIA has introduced TensorRT, a software framework for AI inference that’s integrated into TensorFlow. Ian Buck Ian Buck is general manager and vice president of Accelerated Computing at NVIDIA. He is responsible for the company’s worldwide datacenter business, including server GPUs and the enabling NVIDIA computing software for AI and HPC used by millions of developers, researchers and scientists. Buck joined NVIDIA in 2004 after completing his PhD in computer science from Stanford University, where he was development lead for Brook, the forerunner to generalized computing on GPUs. He is also the creator of CUDA, which has become the world’s leading platform for accelerated parallel computing. Buck has testified before the U.S. Congress on artificial intelligence and has advised the White House on the topic. Buck also received a BSE degree in computer science from Princeton University. Kari Briski Kari Briski is a Senior Director of Accelerated Computing Software Product Management at NVIDIA. Her talents and interests include Deep Learning, Accelerated Computing, Design Thinking, and supporting women in technology. Kari is also a huge Steelers fan.

Beer has played a pivotal role throughout history—from influencing ancient Mesopotamian agriculture to bankrolling Britain’s imperialist conquests. Food and tech journalist Devin Briski chronicled the fascinating history of the world’s (arguably) most popular beverage in her book Beeronomics: How Beer Explains the World. Briski was joined onstage by Robyn Schumacher, Washington State’s first female cicerone (the beer equivalent of a sommelier). Together the two take us on a history of the world though beer, tracking the resurgence of ancient brewing techniques and the recent rise of the craft beer movement in America and Europe—up through the revolution of small independent craft breweries. Join Briski and Schumacher's discussion on how beer has shaped the course of history—and for a new appreciation for the brands and styles of beer on shelves at your local supermarket or on tap at the nearby pub. Devin Briski is a print and audio journalist. She serves as content marketing manager for the events team at Vox Media, which produces Code Conference and Vox Conversations. Devin began her career in Silicon Valley, where she worked on the publishing and marketing team of Stanford Social Innovation Review and co-founded online magazine The Ventured Life. Robyn Schumacher is a brewer and co-founder of Stoup Brewing—and is Washington State’s first female cicerone. Previously Robyn has experience as a high school biology teacher before the allure of brewing called her to attend the Master Brewers Association conference, manage the brewing program at a local Seattle eatery, and passed the Cicerone Certification Exam in 2012. Recorded live at Hale's Palladium by Town Hall Seattle on Saturday, January 20, 2018.
Beer has been a part of human civilization dating back to its beginnings. In summarizing the role it has played over the millennia, Johan Swinnen and Devin Briski’s book Beeronomics: How Beer Explains the World (Oxford University Press, 2017) reveals how the evolving roles the beverage has played exposes broader trends in the economy and society. As Briski explains in this podcast, while beer has been consumed since at least as early as Sumerian times, it wasn’t until the addition of hops as a preservative by brewers in Europe during the Middle Ages that beer became commercially viable. The development of the industry reflected more general trends, from the economies of scale that took place during the Industrial Revolution to the impact of television on small brewers in the United States in the mid-20th century. Today the industry is characterized both by a few multinational conglomerates and numerous craft brewers whose products provide a diverse counterpoint from the mass-produced lagers of the large companies. Briski reveals how these products reflect the different trends of consumption throughout the world, from the increased focus upon quality consumption in the United States and western Europe to the rapid expansion of beer consumption in places like Russia, China, and Brazil.

Ahora sí: Hablamos del diseño de sonido en el teatro ¿Qué hace un diseñador de sonido y cómo lo hace?
This is my goodbye (for now) mix to all the lovers, dancers and friends of As You Like It. Thanks for the endless inspiration in developing a continued love for music. Realize the amazing vibe you guys give off and keep that shit up, all night! Special thanks goes out to the two Raver aliens driving this space ship, Jeremy Bispo & Jeremy Linden, for believing in me and putting forth the effort to provide such a creative musical playground for all of us. Also, special thanks to the other bad ass resident DJs of As You Like It for always killing it with fearless raw talent. San Francisco is incredibly important to me and to the dance music scene in general, so I'll definitely be back to live in SF sometime in the future. Until then, see you all on some dancefloors having the time of our lives...and don't be strangers!!
Rebecca's final interviews of the FITX & Giants Live weekend where she talks to the winner of the 2013 Under 105kg Southern Hemisphere's Strongest Man - Karlo Briski and Co-Promoter of the Giants Live comp and multiple times Australia's Strongest Man, Bill Lyndon, on this and upcoming competitions.
Upon learning that River has escaped, and Praeton is to be sacrificed instead, Gaelin confronts Alesta. Later, Serafine reunites with him, and plotting commences.
An unfortunate encounter piques Professor Volpes's suspicions, forcing Davi and River into flight. An assembly of the monks devolves into an argument between Gaelin and Alesta. The end is coming, but so is change.
The results of River's evaluation leave Davi fearing for her safety. Meanwhile, unrest among the people draws Gaelin away from his vigil over the increasingly-ill Father Osvald. Though he is determined to investigate the failure of Candlemass further, he must decide how deeply he is willing to delve.
Brother Gaelin was already nervous to preside over Candlemass - the Ecclesiat's most sacred day, occurring once every twenty-seven years. When the ritual goes wrong, he is forced into accepting the impossible: the end of the world is coming. Meanwhile, we meet student mage Davi Sanders, who is more concerned about his thesis on the origin of aither than the prospect that the End Days might be nigh.
