La periodista y navegante, Asun Paniagua, nos presenta SENTIR LA LIBERTAD, un relato en el que se muestran las reflexiones de diez mujeres navegantes con biografías variadas pero con un rasgo común: su amor por la Mar. Gerardo Seliger tiene un curriculum extraordinario: participante en quince olimpiadas, diez campeonatos de estatales de clase Finn, director de los dos desafíos españoles de Copa América en San Diego... entre otras muchas actividades. Piensa que navegar nos hace mejores personas. ¡Nosotros también! Magenta Project, que nació para acompañar a mujeres navegantes en sus primeros pasos en la competición, cumple una década. Vicky Low, nos explica las razones del éxito evidente de esta formidable iniciativa. ¿Es cierto que un rayo nunca cae dos veces en el mismo lugar? ¿Qué podemos hacer para prepararnos a bordo ante una tormenta eléctrica? Gloria Solá es una científica que ha estudiado millones de rayos, con la que abordaremos lo que sabemos y lo que aún desconocemos de este aterrador y fascinante fenómeno natural.

To say the least, bioethics is controversial. Many in the mainstream movement reject the sanctity and equal dignity of human life around issues such as abortion, assisted suicide, and biotechnology. But there is a robust pushback against such approaches—a human dignity bioethics, if you will—that promotes medical ethics and public health policies that align with the “do no harm” ethic of the Hippocratic Oath. The differences in these approaches impact our very understanding about the meaning and importance of human life. How do these distinctions play are among the most important and contentious controversies of the day. To get a handle on the current bioethics landscape, Wesley interviewed one of the most impressive and energetic defenders of human exceptionalism in bioethics today. Charles C. Camosy, Ph.D, is a Professor of Medical Humanities at the Creighton University School of Medicine and holds the Monsignor Curran Fellowship in Moral Theology at St. Joseph Seminary in New York.

Well guys if you are currently multi - tasking this is your warning you may become completed distracted and absorbed in this episode.    I recently sat down with Meg Reilly from the Magenta Project. An inspiring story, about a collective of  passionate people committed to developing pathways and generating opportunities for more equity and inclusion in sailing, leading with gender. Meg shares how she and others work with a wide range of individuals and organisations to make a positive and progressive impact on the sport, from grassroots initiatives to partnerships with international events and leagues.  Established by the sailors of the successful campaign of Team SCA in the Volvo Ocean Race 2014-2015, Meg shares the challenges and how the concept was embraced with early uptake of sponsors blind spot. The sporting side of boating has similar goals and big dream like me, that include increased participation, and I loved hearing their strategies of how they are also striving to reach gender parity in  sport — equal pay and equal play. Boating is not just for the rich and famous as I say every episode. And today I am spending time with the person and the front of helm who is carving up swell and paving the sandy pathways for more diversity and inclusion across the board. TMP have just release a great article that shares their success.  Breaking Waves and Barriers: Magenta Project Sailors Join the 12th Round Hainan Regatta 2023 All-female Team - The Magenta Project   You can find more information about Meg and the Home - The Magenta Project If you would like to know more about the upcoming events for 2024, then jump over to my website and subscribe to the newsletter to receive your personal invitations when events are announced.    www.theboatprincess.com    

Chaque mercredi du 2 au 16 août, Tip & Shaft vous propose de ré-écouter 3 épisodes de Navigantes, le podcast des femmes en course et des femmes de la course. Celles qui régatent, au large comme entre trois bouées, mais aussi celles qui œuvrent à terre, sous les projecteurs ou non. Première invitée : Justine Mettraux, la navigatrice engagée. Écoutez-la dans Navigantes #5, enregistré le 16 novembre 2022. Justine Mettraux est une femme engagée. D'abord engagée dans ses projets et dans la recherche de la performance. Sa progression parle pour elle : première femme sur la deuxième marche du podium de la Mini Transat (2013), elle enchaîne quatre participations à la Solitaire du Figaro, avec une 7e place à la clé en 2017, deux à la Volvo Ocean Race, des courses en Class40 et Imoca, et prendra le départ du prochain Vendée Globe pour la première fois. Engagée, la skipper de Teamwork l'est aussi en faveur de la mixité et de la cause des femmes de la course au large. Elle fait partie des premières à avoir porté en France le Magenta Project, association anglo-saxonne qui a pour but d'aider les navigatrices à faire leur place dans le monde de la voile. Elle a été mentor de jeunes navigatrices espagnoles et italiennes dans ce large réseau mondial qui se met en place. « La sororité, c'est primordial », estime-t-elle. A 36 ans, Justine Mettraux, polyvalente et très talentueuse, a longtemps été l'équipière idéale, celle qu'on allait chercher – et c'est encore le cas puisqu'elle fera partie de l'équipage américain 11th Hour Racing Team sur la prochaine Ocean Race -, mais aujourd'hui, elle entame un parcours sur SON Imoca, Teamwork, l'ancien Charal 1 de Jérémie Beyou. « Ça arrive peut-être un peu tard dans ma carrière, mais je suis riche de toutes les expériences passées », analyse la Suissesse dans cet épisode enregistré moins d'une semaine avant le départ de sa première Route du Rhum en Imoca. Malgré la fatigue et un emploi du temps hyper chargé, elle a pris le temps de raconter son cheminement vers l'excellence, mais également de parler de sa famille, notamment de ses quatre frères et sœurs tous marins professionnels aujourd'hui. « On n'était pas du tout destinés à la voile… et puis on a déménagé près du lac et mon père a acheté un bateau… ». Voilà comment Justine Mettraux est devenue navigante… Navigantes est animé par Hélène Cougoule et produit par Tip & Shaft. Première diffusion le 16 novembre 2022 Rediffusé le 2 août 2023 Post production : Grégoire Levillain Générique : All the summer girls

Le 63e épisode de Pos. Report s'intéresse au parcours de deux navigatrices qui étaient sur l'eau le week-end dernier : la première, Mathilde Geron, a participé à la Women's Cup à Pornichet, la seconde, Sophie Faguet, à une épreuve qualificative pour le championnat de France open de match-racing à Cherbourg. Mathilde Geron raconte comment s'est passée la 12e édition de la Women's Cup, épreuve 100% féminine qui a rassemblé 28 équipages et 140 navigatrices sur des J80 tirés au sort, avec à l'arrivée pour son équipage une troisième place. Sophie Faguet, qui a plusieurs fois participé à la Women's Cup, dont l'année dernière aux côtés de Mathilde Géron, loue « l'esprit bon enfant » d'un rendez-vous qui rencontre « un réel succès », au point que d'autres épreuves 100% féminines ont lieu dans l'année, ce qui a donné lieu à la naissance d'un circuit sous l'égide de la Fédération française de voile. La Normande revient sur son week-end à Cherbourg, avec une deuxième place pour l'équipage de Match in Pink by Normandy Elite Team mené par Pauline Courtois lors de l'épreuve de qualification du bassin Manche pour le championnat de France open de match-racing. Un résultat synonyme de qualification pour ce championnat de France qui aura lieu du 23 au 27 mars, toujours à Cherbourg. Sophie Faguet poursuit en évoquant ses entraînements en double à Lorient avec Jonas Gerckens, le duo défendant depuis deux ans les couleurs de la Belgique sur le nouveau circuit de course au large double mixte, avec dans le viseur le championnat d'Europe et le championnat du monde. Mathilde Geron raconte de son côté comment, depuis quelques années, elle s'est familiarisée avec le multicoque, entre le Diam 24 (deux saisons avec La Boulangère), l'équipe française de SailGP – avec laquelle elle va s'entraîner en mars en Waszp et en GC32 – et l'Ocean Fifty Leyton, sur lequel elle a navigué en 2021 dans le cadre du Magenta Project, qui vise à rendre la voile de compétition davantage accessible aux femmes. « J'ai adoré le bateau, c'est un gros Diam avec plus d'efforts dans les bouts », confie-t-elle. Cette expérience lui a valu d'intégrer cette année l'équipage d'Erwan Le Roux sur l'Ocean Fifty Koesio. Sophie Faguet parle de ses ambitions en Figaro 3, notamment celle de trouver des partenaires pour participer en 2023 à la Transat en double, les deux navigatrices finissant par évoquer un projet commun qui sera dévoilé en avril.  Diffusé le 8 mars 2022 Générique : Fast and wild/EdRecords Post-production : Julien Badoil/Studio Juno

Today we’re joined by Jesse Engel, Staff Research Scientist at Google, working on the Magenta Project.  In our conversation with Jesse, we explore the current landscape of creativity AI, and the role Magenta plays in helping express creativity through ML and deep learning. We dig deep into their Differentiable Digital Signal Processing (DDSP) library, which “lets you combine the interpretable structure of classical DSP elements (such as filters, oscillators, reverberation, etc.) with the expressivity of deep learning.” Finally, Jesse walks us through some of the other projects that the Magenta team undertakes, including NLP and language modeling, and what he wants to see come out of the work that he and others are doing in creative AI research.

If you think about sailing a yacht round the world, what image comes into your mind? Fantastic sunsets, calm seas, whales and dolphins appearing intermittently, and balmy days in a bikini? Yep, me too. The reality of round-the-world ocean racing is somewhat different: I’m sure the wildlife encounters can be pretty special and there are no doubt some spectacular sunsets, but yachts sail 24/7 during their legs at sea and the Volvo Ocean Race is well-known to be one of the toughest sporting events in the world. It is certainly the longest, and involving 9 months at sea, enormous physical and mental human challenge and a daily battle against the elements. Yacht racing is also one of the few sports where men and women compete alongside one another, although it has traditionally been a male-only domain, and for centuries it was considered bad luck to take a woman to sea on your boat.  Times are fortunately changing, and my guest this week is Abby Ehler, now veteran of 3 Volvo Ocean Races, including this year’s voyage, where she was part of Team Brunel that placed third overall after a gruelling 9 months of sailing. Abby was previously the boat captain for Team SCA, the first all-female team to compete for 12 years when they took part in the Volvo Ocean Race in the 2014-15 competition. Over 250 women applied for 15 spots on that boat, so clearly there is an appetite for women to compete at the very highest levels within the sport. Off the back of Team SCA, the Magenta Project was founded to promote and encourage women at the top end of sailing. Abby is now their Director of Media and Events. in addition to being a mum to her son and racing regularly both at home and abroad.  In this interview we disuss: -How Abby got into sailing - What the Volvo Ocean Race entails - Her hairiest and scariest adventures - How changes to the rules of sailing this year helped more women to be involved at the highest levels - The establishment of the Magenta Project and their support of women in elite sailing - The future of the sport, including the Volvo Ocean Race and Abby's hopes for women in sailing in the years to come Abby is on Twitter @trimore and Instagram @abbyehler and you can find the Magenta Project on social media @themagentaproj. Their website is www.themagentaproject.org More info on the Volvo Ocean Race can be found at www.volvooceanrace.com and if you're interested in getting started in sailing then the best place to go is the RYA website www.rya.org.uk  Enjoy!

Abby Ehler and Francesca Clapcich, who is sailing with Turn the Tide on Plastic in her first Volvo Ocean Race, and VOR veteran Sally Barkow, who has raced on a couple of legs alongside Abby on Team Brunel join us from Auckland. They chat about their experiences of the race so far in anticipation of Leg 7, which leaves tomorrow to head to Itajai in Brazil via the Southern Ocean.  Sally brings us up to date about the M32 sailing with help from Abby and other Magenta Project news.  We wish them all safe sailing on this notoriously tough leg and look forward to catching up with them again in Itajai.

Abby Ehler from The Magenta Project is back with friends who are taking part in this year's Volvo Ocean Race. Olympian Annie Lush, who was also on Team SCA in the previous edition of the race, has joined Abby on Team Brunel, and another Olympian, Italy's Francesca Clapcich, is on Dee Caffari's Turn the Tide on Plastic. They discuss the dynamics of the new mixed crew format, why you would endure freeze dried food for months, necessary medical skills and other training, crew rotation and final preparations in the countdown to the race that begins with the prologue from Lisbon to Alicante on October 8th followed by the race start on October 22.

NOTE: This podcast is presented as a collaboration with Synthtopia.com for the presentation of people designing and implementing synthesizers. You can listen to the podcast here, on the Synthtopia website (in an embedded player) or on iTunes. But you can also read the article as well as search for information by viewing the transcription available here: http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2017/06/25/neural-audio-synthesis-with-google/ I first got to know the Magenta Project at Google when I heard a podcast with Douglas Eck. I subsequently interviewed him for my podcast, where we talked about using machine learning to do interesting work with composition. This led to an invite to meet with the team, and I got a great introduction to their work at their Mountain View headquarters, and first got to me this week's guest, Jesse Engel. But something interesting happened a few months ago: I got blindsided by the project when they put up details on their 'NSynth' project. This effort is about using machine learning for music, but not for composition - but rather for sound design. Somehow, I never saw that coming, but it really makes a lot of sense, and it comes up with some pretty interesting results. As part of this series on Synthesizer Design we've talked to people about their past work in synth design. But it is interesting to also talk to someone about the future of synthesis, how computers might be brought into play to enhance the sound design functions, and how machine learning can drive (and/or be driven into managing) massive parameter sets. Jesse Engel breaks things down for us in this talk, and we get a chance to see how big the datasets are, how all of this data might be managed, and how he goes about wrangling a bunch of scientists and statisticians into working with sound. Sometimes the work is as expected (a "better violin"), and sometimes not (the "cat flute"). It's a crazy ride, and I hope you learn as much as I did about one of the future possibilities for synth design. Enjoy!

Abby Ehler is joined in Bermuda by four women to discuss pathways into the America's Cup, highlighting women in key roles within AC teams: former Team SCA Navigator & Weatherwhiz Meteriologist Libby Greenhalgh, Bermuda sailor & 2016 Olympian Ceci Wollman, Land Rover BAR's Chief Meteriologist Jessica Sweeney and Spain's Elvira Llabres, a computer engineer with performance team Softbank Team Japan working on her 4th America’s Cup. Ceci is the only female on the crew of Team Bermuda and one of two women in this year's Red Bull Youth's America's Cup (RBYAC). Elvira shares her thoughts on opportunities for women in performance analysis and the group consider how the race needs to diversify.

Douglas Eck and the Magenta Project first came onto my radar by doing a podcast that was posted on the Web Audio API Weekly email, and I found his discussion about music and machine learning to be compelling and focused. I reached out to him, and things came together quickly: he invited me to Google for a visit with his team, and also got the planning into motion for this podcast. Once it cleared all the hurdles, we were on! We didn't have a lot of time, but it is clear that Douglas is experienced in presenting the Magenta team's vision "in the time allotted" - whatever that time might be. He certainly packed a lot of information into the small amount of time I was able to talk to him. Trying to understand how machine learning can work within a musical environment - as well as how it can draw musicians in, rather than pushing them away - is something I'd never considered, but it is clear that this is a big part of how the team is imagining their work. If you are interested in musical machine learning as a concept, you'll want to check out the Magenta project at its website, and also get some basic machine learning education wherever you can find it. Hearing about the successes that Google has had with "deep learning" and "reinforcement training" is pretty interesting, and it is exciting to watch this stuff develop from the ground floor. Want to get involved? The Magenta project is open-source, and is actively interacting with artists and art-tech folks as they are able. Start by reading their site, test-driving their tooling from Github and learning more along the way. Enjoy!
