Podcast Overview: Model Man & Will discuss organising creativity, the process of making an album, transitioning his music to perform live and creating a fan base. Who is Model Man: Born and raised in Chelmsford, Essex, he spent his early years learning classical piano from his piano-teacher Mother. But, with his home county being a key part of early rave culture, an interest was sparked in Mark that, much like the classical piano, never left him. Since releasing his debut album, Model Man has been on remix duties for the likes of Bob Moses, Justin Martin and partnered with Deutsche Grammophon to re-imagine a Debussy piece.Model Man's live show sees Brandon take to the stage solo, and build his high-energy sets with live loops, sample triggering and audio manipulation, all-the-while playing his trademark piano parts live. With Model Man's music we get the proud, unfiltered distillation of Mark Brandon; pure, emotive and vulnerable. The blueprint for all Model Men… If you would like to join my community to carry on with all of these discussions please sign up to the link here: http://willclarke.club/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Recently Qbox, a hosted Elasticsearch and OpenSearch service provider, has joined forces with Instaclustr to help deepen their efforts in search technologies. In this episode, Qbox CEO and Co-founder Mark Brandon discusses the start of his journey into Elasticsearch, what factors played into his decision to join Instaclustr and the adoption rate of OpenSearch as a new open source search technology.
Where do you keep ice? In the freezer, of course. That's what scientists might have thought when they were looking for a safe place to store ice from mountain glaciers from around the world. They've decided to store ice in Antarctica because global warming is causing some of the glaciers in places like the Alps to melt.Jerome Chappellaz of the French National Centre for Scientific Research is involved in creating an ice vault there. He says: "We are probably the only scientific community whose archive is in danger of disappearing from the face of the planet. If you work on corals, on marine sediments, on tree rings, the raw material is still here and will be for many centuries".And why do scientists need to study ice from the Alps, for example? Ice formed on the summit of a mountain is made of layers of snow accumulated over thousands of years. Trapped air bubbles contain samples of the atmosphere that existed when that ice was formed. Ice is a record of climate, according to polar oceanographer Mark Brandon from the Open University in Britain. He says: "We know carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is higher now than in the last three million years".Researchers use this kind of data to build computer models and try to predict what might happen in the future.The ice vault will be housed in a snow cave at the Concordia Research Station, which is operated by scientists from France and Italy. The ice samples will be sealed in bags and placed 10m below the surface, at a constant temperature of -50C. This will put the scientists' minds at rest. Commercial freezers break down, power failures happen and losing the ice samples would be a disaster. Nobody wants to see a mine of scientific knowledge lost for ever in a giant puddle.glaciers (复数)冰河,冰川global warming 全球变暖melt 融化vault 穹窿,拱顶,地下储藏室coral 珊瑚raw material 原材料trapped 被困住的sample 样品,标本atmosphere 大气record 记录,证明polar 极地的oceanographer 海洋学家carbon dioxide 二氧化碳data 数据computer model 计算机模型to seal 封住,密封put (their) minds at rest 使(他们)安心、放心puddle 水坑

Every week Blood on the Sand brings you some of the Darkest True Crime set in some of the Most Beautiful Locations. Hosts Bob Keen, Andre Hashem, and Michael Johnson are here to serve you a Mai Tai with a side of bad guys “There is no doubt some of Read’s stories are embellished, polished or in some cases, stolen, but there is also no doubt that through the 1970s and 1980s he was one of the most dangerous men in Australia.” So here we are, this is it! We have made it to the finale of Mark Brandon “Chopper” Read, we sift through all the truth and lies and finish this story in a way we feel would’ve made Chopper proud. But outside of that we get into what Chopper was capable of doing once he honestly, truly was capable of retiring from a life of crime, Chopper for all intents and purposes has left the life behind him and focuses of his children, painting, producing several albums, a live show featuring standup, stories, writing many books, some of which twice, being featured on television and films, and just doing anything and everything he could. It’s really inspirational, in a psychotic way. This final episode really shows all the potential Chopper could’ve had given a different upbringing, and we finish with his final “death bed confession” interview where he clears the air and gets into the “truth” of a lot of his stories, given 7 days before passing away. “Dangerous gangsters feared Read because he was a local version of an underworld terrorist. For many years, he saw himself as a street soldier who didn’t care if he lived or died.” Listen to the entire episode to learn more!

With the explosive growth of Kubernetes adoption, there is a growing demand for training. “People want to use new tool kits that make their jobs easier, but they don’t know how to use them,” said Mark Brandon, founder and CEO of SuperGiant. “We have partnered with the Linux Foundation to create courses that help these users.” Brandon's team created Supergiant toolkit created to “scratch our their itch,” as they say. Their cloud bills were too high because the hardware utilization was too low. They found that the so-called autoscaling tools from most vendors only meant it was easy to scale up. "Seriously? Anybody can scale up! Actually, scaling down is what is most important when you are on a budget and paying by the compute hour. At the end of the day, our utilization went from the low teens to over 92% utilization, saving us 50% off our cloud bill, a sum that amounted to over a half million dollars per year. Profit margins doubled, and we had the flexibility to invest in our own product rather than seeing money fly out the door into the pockets of the public cloud providers. This was too good to keep secret," - SuperGiant. Find more about the Kubernetes training course: https://supergiant.io/training/
This may be the weirdest episode yet. Connor and Brandon kick it off with the pros and cons of sex dolls and love robots, and how they may be taking over the world. They also talk about the ideas of having sex with a robot or AI porn when you are in a relationship, and whether it's ethical or cheating. Then, Connor searches his own name on porn sites, reveals his passion for romance novels and naturally, horrendous sex crimes. Key Takeaways: [8:41] Love dolls look eerily similar to real girls, and we aren't sure how we feel about them. Connor is okay with his future girlfriend having a doll made from his own replica. [27:16] Connor and Brandon recall how girl crazy and hormone-driven they were in their 20's, and how they know every dude can relate to it. [36:34] Mark Brandon's words: the first sex robot will come out of Japan. Connor would model his robot after a high school crush that never came to fruition. [48:48] Deepfakes takes a body of a porn star and places it on the face of whoever you upload to create a very realistic photoshopped lookalike. [58:12] Pro Tip — it's romantic to pick porn stars that look like your girlfriend. Brandon's Google Doc of videos that is an efficient way to make sure he doesn't waste time scrolling and searching. [62:13] Connor has a passion for romance novels, and possibly may even be an author of one in the future. [77:29] Robots and technological innovation are not just going helpful in the role of a sexual partner — soon they may be cooking for us, cleaning for us and doing all the annoying domestic chores none of us want to do.

Transcript -- In this podcast, we meet Professor Tom Lane, President-elect of the American Chemical Society and discuss why scientists should get involved with outreach. We return to The Open University's Dr Mark Brandon and Wes Fraser, on Mark's fascinating research into Antarctica's melting icesheets. We also meet Hazel Carr, a Course Manager in the university's Science Faculty. Hazel tells us about her experience as an OU student; the good and the bad. The interviews are recorded by OU staff and the programme is hosted by Dr Mike Bullivant from the OU/BBC television series Rough Science.
