First flying in 1954, some 71 years ago, the Lockheed Martin C-130 Hercules has become a iconic aviation legend. Beginning as a military transport, it has evolved into otherroles, including gunship, weather research, special operations, firefighting and more – and it is still in production today. We talk to former RAF C-130 pilot Scott Bateman about ‘Hercules – First in, Last Out' and the men and womenof the tightly knit Herc Force and its incredible history. Scott Bateman MBE is an aviation professional, TV producer/presenter and ex-RAF Loadmaster and C-130 captain with 47 Sqn.

For more than half a century the C-130 Hercules was the backbone of the RAF.It's played a key role in daring special forces and counter terror mission, supported combat operations from the Falklands to Afghanistan, delivered disaster relief, and carried out evacuations in some of the most challenging of environments.Named after the mythological Greek hero with exceptional strength, Hercules was intended simply to be a cargo aircraft but its adaptability and versatility turned it into the swiss-army-knife of tactical airlift.Now the life story of the plane, also known affectionately as Fat Albert, is told by one of its former pilots in a new book simply titled ‘Hercules'. Scott Bateman tells Kate Gerbeau some of the many tales of service by Hercules and the people who flew on board.

Ever wondered what it'd be like to encounter an extraterrestrial? Now, imagine experiencing this every single second. Scott Bateman's latest mind-boggling feature film 5000 SPACE ALIENS means what it says because the viewer is going to experience the cinematic experience of “meeting' 5000 space aliens in 5000 seconds that's (83 minutes). The film is a wild animated film that uses computer-manipulated found footage and collage, all created by director Scott Bateman and brought to you by producer Lucas A. Ferrara. 5000 SPACE ALIENS is an entertaining non-narrative film unlike anything you've ever seen before. It's a one-man tour de force: Scott Bateman not only created the animated footage, he also composed the 84-minute score! Scott Bateman spent 2-1/2 years manipulating weird public domain footage in Photoshop, Fireworks, and Premiere Pro to create the 5000 one-second portraits that make up 5000 Space Aliens. Packed with memorable visual images, let all 5000 SPACE ALIENS wash over you. Director Scott Bateman (You Your Brain & You) and Producer /Attorney Lucas A. Ferrara join us for a lively conversation on their unlikely collaboration, the joy of work on this outside-the-box film project and the very encouraging reception that 5000 Space Aliens has received from a wide variety of audiences.

My guest in this episode is Scott Bateman, CEO of property management proptech Kolmeo. Scott's career started in banking, working for BT Financial Group and Bank of Melbourne, before he was convinced to join Little Real Estate, founded by billionaire businessman and philanthropist Paul Little who was managing director of Toll Holdings from 1985 until his retirement in 2011. In this interview, Scott tells us the rather fabulous story of how the legacy technology stack of AgentPlus both pivoted and accelerated to become Kolmeo during the Covid pandemic and lockdowns - a transformation that Scott describes as jumping out of a plane and assembling the parachute. But it took Kolmeo from concept to running some of the largest rent rolls in the country and it's a cracking interview. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theproptechpodcast/message
Ist Euch schon mal aufgefallen, dass Euer Avatar langsamer Leben verliert, wenn der Lebensbalken niedrig ist? Habt Ihr schon mal erlebt, wie gut sich ein Sieg bei Assassin's Creed und Co. anfühlt, wenn Ihr dem virtuellen Tod nur knapp von der Schippe gesprungen seid? Manche von Euch hatten vielleicht sogar mal die Situation, dass sie das Geheimnis einer Spielmechanik gelüftet haben, die Spieler*innen nicht beigebracht wurde? Manchmal sind die Grenzen fließend zwischen dem, was als ein Easter Egg für 'Eingeweihte' zu verstehen ist, dem, wofür man viel Spielerfahrung braucht, um es zu sehen oder zu beherrschen, dem, was toll wirkt, aber in Wahrheit nur eine Verschleierung von bspw. technischen Limitationen ist, und Mechaniken, die besser unentdeckt bleiben, um den Spielspaß nicht zu gefährden. Fest steht, dass in der Spieleentwicklung manchmal auf unterschiedliche Weisen getrickst wird, um das Spielerlebnis zugunsten der Menschen vor'm Bildschirm oder deren Motivation zu verbessern. Dabei geht es oft um psychologische Tricks in Verbindung mit subtilen Details wie beispielsweise dem Manipulieren von Lebensbalken oder Wahrscheinlichkeiten, dessen Erkennen schon einer detaillierten Analyse bedarf oder der unentdeckten Anpassung des Schwierigkeitsgrades. In dieser Folge werfen Philip und Ben einen Blick auf die verborgenen Mechaniken in digitalen Spielen und diskutieren deren Auswirkungen auf das Spielerlebnis. Als Impuls hat Philip das CHI-Paper "Healthy Lies: The Effects of Misrepresenting Player Health Data on Experience, Behavior, and Performance" von Jason Wuertz, Max V. Birk und Scott Bateman mitgebracht, bei dem die Forschenden untersucht haben, was passiert, wenn in der UI falsche Daten angezeigt werden. Danach werden Definitionen und Abgrenzung zu anderen Begriffen betrachtet, wobei auch die Frage nach Überschneidung mit indirekter Gamification fällt. Anhand verschiedener Beispiele wird versucht, Kategorien zu Einordnung von versteckten Spielmechaniken zu finden. === Habt Ihr noch Beispiele für Spielsituationen, die nicht so sind, wie sie auf den ersten Blick scheinen? Diskutiert gern mit uns und der Community auf Discord. Alternativ könnt Ihr uns auch Fragen, Anmerkungen und Ideen auf anderem Weg zukommen lassen: linktr.ee/spielsinn === Weiterführende Links folgen; solange könnt Ihr sonst schon mal auf YouTube nach "Hidden Game Mechanics" suchen :)
Kolmeo's Scott Bateman could quite rightly be described as among the smartest minds in any real estate room. He's Harvard educated, quick as a whip and a firm fan favourite when it comes to all things business and property management.
When it comes to creating a winning strategy, most agents would tell you that they have either the best people or the best service, but what does that even mean? Particularly when everyone else says the same thing. Kolmeo's Scott Bateman believes there is no best service. He also argues there's a time when businesses should ignore their customers to deliver true innovation. It's thinking like this that has seen Scott build a highly successful career and become one of the most sought-after thought leaders in the industry when it comes to business growth and strategy. Drawing on time spent at Harvard Business School, case study learning and 20 years leadership experience, Scott helps businesses unearth opportunities, find marketing clarity and define their true point of difference. In this Elevate podcast with Elite Agent managing editor Smantha McLean, Scott offers a preview of the game-changing business strategy sessions he will deliver at Elite Retreat from July 31. Scott looks at why businesses will either be cost leaders or service leaders, but there is no best service. He delves into when businesses should stop asking their customers what they can do better, and instead turn to the people who don't use their service to better understand opportunities that lie untapped. He also shines a spotlight on the trends both inside and beyond the industry that will shape the future, and how they impact real estate operations in unexpected ways. In the process, Scott looks at some of the key challenges facing the industry at the present and shares how business leaders can combat the ‘great resignation' by delivering the right support and opportunities for their staff. In a podcast that's all about getting to the heart of what your business does and defining where you want it to go, Scott also provides the key questions every business should ask to change the playing field and create action. “The problem is this: if you ask people what they want, they will inevitably tell you something which is a few per cent better than what they're currently getting. The trap with that is it forces a situation in which businesses incrementally improve something, where they're increasingly looking the same and building the same thing.The best businesses actually don't ask that question. They often don't talk to the existing users of a thing. They go to the people who don't use it, or don't like how things are done. And they'll learn from that.” - Scott Bateman https://youtu.be/xnhk0YbmB6k Scott and Samantha also discuss: The current trends emerging in the industry and how leaders can define and use them to create a better business while also improving the experience of their staff.How to mitigate the mass exodus from property management and why staff members need four key things from any employer.Why case studies are a great way of unearthing opportunity in a business, and how you can use them to implement clear and actionable business strategy.How to define your point of difference as a cost leader or service leader and why this matters to your customer.Why the term ‘best service' is a false truism, and often leads to business creating complex steps, extra tasks and unnecessary layers.What business leaders can learn from IKEA and the alcohol-free beer movement when it comes to looking at business opportunity differently.When a business should ignore their customer to create true innovation, and who they should be talking to instead.Why ‘different' and ‘better' are two very separate things, and how knowing which one you provide creates clarity for your business.How to pick the most important things to focus on in a business, including the key questions you should ask.What Scott will offer at Elite Retreat from July 31 to August 3, and how it will provide attendees with clear strategies that they can immediately implement in their business. And much, much more
Kolmeo's Scott Bateman and Brock Fisher share their insight into how agencies can look at the landscape through a very different lens to differentiate and increase their revenue.
The special episode of the podcast offers the full recording of an interview with Scott Bateman, the executive producer of a new documentary about the U.S. President's long-range transport fleet.
Dropping out of school at 15 and becoming a chef is hardly the career path you associate with leading a venture backed technology scale up but for Scott Bateman it was the journey he would never replace. It taught him so much and particularly the key lesson later in life that going back to education could provide him with so much. Scott the youngest CEO I've had on the show and is driven by his obsession with learning and challenging himself and his team to create a global success story with Kolmeo, a revolutionary SaaS platform for the real estate industry connecting tenants, landlords and agents. If you're an aspiring CEO of a technology business, this is one not to be missed.
Science has always been about improving human understanding of our universe…but scientists have not always prioritized accessibility of their hard-won results. The deeper research digs into specialized sub-fields and daunting data sets, the greater the divide a team must cross to help communicate their findings not just to the public, but to other scientists.It is cliché: “A picture’s worth a thousand words.” But it’s the truth: strong visual communication helps readers make the choice to dig into dense manuscripts, and helps journal editors decide whose work gets published in the first place. Good dataviz can get complexity across in less time and with less effort, help public audiences grasp science better and appreciate the beauty that inspired the research to start with.Deciding how to represent research in graphic form is both a little science and a little art: it takes developing an understanding of what information matters and what doesn’t, and how other people will absorb it. Thus it should come as no surprise that in our noisy era, the data artist rises as a hero of both fields: empowered by technology to bridge dissociated disciplines and help us all learn more and better.This week’s episode is with Kirell Benzi, a data artist and data visualization lecturer who holds a PhD in Data Science from EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne). Kirell’s work has been shown in outlets as diverse as the Swiss National Museum, Gizmodo, VICE, and Phys.org. In this recording, we discuss his projects mapping the Montreaux Jazz Festival and the Star Wars Extended Universe, the future of neural-network assisted data visualization, and how data art helps with the technical and ethical challenges facing science communication in the 21st Century.If you enjoy this podcast, please help us reach a wider audience by leaving a review at Apple Podcasts, or sharing the show on social media.

For years, animator Scott Bateman was best known for his left leaning political cartoons and animations featured on Salon and The Daily Kos. Frustrated by the state of politics, not to mention journalism, Bateman invented Disalmanac, that now spans a blog, Twitter, podcast, and book "Disalmanac: A Compendium of Fact-Like Facts." He also directed his first animated film Atom Age Vampire and a trailer for a Dinosaur Jr's album. In 2014, Bateman had the joy of winning enough money on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire to work on his next film. In our conversation, Bateman reveals his tricks of the trade and encourages others tot have fun and give game shows a whirl if you want to find money quickly.
