The Possibility Club podcast: Practical Bravery - MUSICAL POLITICS!   Can artists change the world? Should they? And should it be through their art, or through their activism?   In this episode we're charting the course of a journeyman whose guitar has graced stages worldwide, and whose convictions have spotlighted the corridors of change.  From the euphoric highs of indie rock stardom with his band Gomez, capturing hearts and the Mercury Prize in 1998, to the critical acclaim and UK Top 40 albums, his artistry has been undeniable. But it's his transition from artist to advocate and activist that makes him stand out.   Elected as the Chair of the Ivors Academy and sitting on the council of the Performing Rights Society, he's not just playing tunes; he's setting the tempo for change. And in 2024 (after we recorded this interview), he's seeking a place in the mother of all parliaments.   Our guest is rockstar, campaigner and - who knows - maybe a future prime minister, Tom Gray. ----------   “I always saw myself as a side man, I was the guy stood next to the guy, I loved writing songs. I never saw myself as being a leader.”   Tom Gray via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Gray_(activist)   Tom Gray via LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/tom-gray-8a084328/?originalSubdomain=uk   “Actually music wasn't my goal at all, hilariously, music was just my way of slowing down my racing brain.”   "I actually had a choice: do I get on a plane and work for a senator, which is what I wanted to do — I wanted to be a speechwriter — or do I get Madonna's private jet? A ridiculous thing to choose between.”   Gomez the band https://www.gomeztheband.com/   Gomez the band via Wikpedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gomez_(band)   "By the time I was twenty-four or twenty-five I felt like I was on my third thing.”   “I realised there were all kinds of problems facing my friends in music and a lot of the organisations representing them, although heartily trying, weren't necessarily getting there.”   “I had this curious superpower which was that I understood politics, I'd grown up in politics, I knew loads of people in politics. If didn't do something, who was?"   Featured Artists Coalition https://thefac.org/   The Ivors Academy (formerly British Association of Songwriters and Composers) https://ivorsacademy.com/   “I realised they didn't have a policy unit, helped them build a policy unit, helped them develop a public affairs strategy, actually employ people to do policy, which they didn't have. They were kind of shaking their fists in the air but not doing this stuff.”    Musicians Union https://musiciansunion.org.uk/   “So, end of February 2020 I became a one man campaign, called Broken Record. And three months later the MU and Ivors Academy ran my more traditionally designed campaign called Fix Streaming.”   “I was the guerrilla ground offensive, and then the air attack came later.”    Broken Record campaign via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_Record_campaign   Mixmag article on the Broken Record campaign to fix streaming https://mixmag.net/feature/brokenrecord-music-industry-streaming-labels-artists-exploitation-equitable-renumeration   Tom Gray's evidence via the UK Parliament https://committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/10156/pdf/   Twitter/X — @MrTomGray   Instagram — https://instagram.com/automatoms   “There's a series of levers, there's a series of relationships, there's a way to change the world, there's a path and, boringly, that's how you do it."   "We got all major labels agreeing to forgive debt of artists who'd been in debt for more than twenty years, which was huge.”   “We've got an industry-wide transparency agreement that is about to be signed.”   “My entire thing is, hold the industry in a headlock and force them to improve. People will say government process takes you out of that campaigning mode, it takes you out of holding their feet to the fire. That's true but you've also got the institutional grip. They have to keep saying the right things, there's no easy exit for them.”   Labour List — “Meet Labour Brighton Pavilion candidate Tom Gray as Eddie Izzard falls short” https://labourlist.org/2023/12/brighton-pavilion-candidate-tom-gray-labour-eddie-izzard/   “Music isn't the arts, are you mad? It's one of our most basic forms of communication!”   Possibility Club interview with Crystal Asige https://www.alwayspossible.co.uk/podcast-practical-bravery-crystal-asige/   Pete Wishart of Runrig via Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Wishart   "We are one of three music net exporters on the planet. We have this huge benefit of our language and our unbroken history of music learning, conservatories, the Beatles, you wouldn't have the Beatles without the Education Act, that's clear. Public policy changes the world. John Lennon going to art school was a profoundly important thing that needed to happen, in order for the world to experience the Beatles.”   "Resilience is 100% the lesson of being a musician, because it's been pretty hard, the past twenty years, working in that sector. There's always someone who's making a buck out of everybody but for me I think these fights can be won, still. And if that's optimism, that's optimism.” ------   This episode was recorded in September 2023 Interviewer: Richard Freeman for always possible Editor: CJ Thorpe-Tracey for Lo Fi Arts   For more visit www.alwayspossible.co.uk

We're coming back at ya with three more battles on this episode! First up is the battle of Honey Springs on July 17th, 1863 which was the largest confrontation between the north and south in the state of Oklahoma. It was also unique in that the battle was made up mostly of African American and Native American troops, which was a first. Up next we have the Second Battle of Fort Wagner on July 18th, where a second attempt to capture Fort Wagner failed. This is most notable for the involvement of the 54th Massachusetts that became the focus of the movie "Glory" We end the episode with the Second Battle of Charleston Harbor or the Siege of Charleston Harbor on July 18th-September 7th. After being repulsed twice at Fort Wagner the Union decides to siege Charleston Harbor and bombard the fort for 60 days before the Confederates finally abandon the fort.Be sure to check out our new podcast "According To Wikipedia" where we read popular Wikpedia articles so you don't have to!https://www.spreaker.com/show/according-to-wikipedia

Do you sometimes get out of bed and wonder why you do what you do?  Maybe you're wondering about your 'why' or 'purpose'?  Are you so passionate about what you do that maybe a simple 'why' statement is just not enough?  Well most likely then, it's time to write your Manifesto!!  What's a manifesto?  According to Wikpedia, a manifesto is "A published declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group.....A manifesto is often political, social or artistic in nature, sometimes revolutionary, but may present an individual's life stance."  In this episode, John and Simon read out a manifesto that fluffing fires them up from https://gfda.co/  and they explore why we should all get a little more passionate about what we do, why we do it, and why it matters  The Occupational Philosophers hope you enjoy the show (they really enjoyed making this episode of their not-so-serious business podcast.) And as The Occupational Philosophers always say: stay curious, make stuff, play more, have fun, and date life. FYI: The Inbetweeners episodes are just that - smaller episodes 'in between' the longer format episodes designed to give a little kickstart to enable you to be the most curious, creative, and imaginative cat you can be - and have some fun in the process.

Did you realize every President since Warren G. Harding has had the ability to choose a person to be the director of the Office of Management and Budget? The Office of Management and Budget or (OMB) as it is commonly referred to, is an essential part of our American Government we supervise or watch over every day of our lives. This central part of a President's administration or government is responsible for overseeing the placement of a President's agenda stretching all over the Executive Branch. Within this department of the federal government, OMB watches and oversees any cabinet level department budget and plan for executing and using their stated money within their fiscal year's money allocated to them from Congress. Office of Management and Budget though according to Wikpedia is the biggest office in the Executive Office of the President of The United States. Without OMB, any given President would not have a system of checks and balances with regards to his administration's usage of budgeting and regulations along with using money allocated to him by Congress or OMB.

In our August Podcast, we talk with a true grognard, Don Perrin, a Canuck who now calls Las Vegas his home.  Since Don and James met as cadets and barrack mates many years ago, Don went on to graduate from Royal Military College and serve in the Canadian Army in the RCEME Corps. Don's done practically everything there is to do in the hobby.  He's worked with giants like Frank Chadwick, run a games store, published (and killed!) wargames magazines, manufactured lead figures and now is doing cutting edge work in 3D printing as you'd expect from his extensive technical background. He's also a published fiction author, and the only guy we know personally to have a Wikpedia entry! In our discussion, Don shares his thoughts on what happened to North American wargames magazines, the pros and cons of 3D printing, and the future of our gaming hobby.

What exactly happened in the Ural Mountains of Russia in February of 1959 is still uncertain. All that is known for sure is that 9 hikers were killed. How? Aliens, a Yeti, sound waves...

Chris Castle, a developer advocate at Salesforce, is joined by Evan Grim, a software architect at Salesforce responsible for the Salesforce Authenticator mobile app. Salesforce Authenticator is a component of a two-factor authentication flow. After a user signs in to their Salesforce organization, the mobile app will generate a secure code which is used to provide additional verification. This guarantees that even if a user's password is compromised, a hacker won't be able to login unless they have access to your phone, too. Experiencing a flow like this has become commonplace, with banks and other websites taking a security-first approach to their user experience. What's starting to change is the way these 2FA apps work. For example, Evan has built a flow where the Salesforce Authenticator uses geolocation to identify where you are. If you log in to a website from the same location enough times to establish a pattern, the app can send the security code automatically, without you needing to type anything in. Evan is very interested in exploring further trends where safety is not compromised for the sake of usability. For the remainder of the episode, Chris and Evan discuss the fundamentals of the technologies and systems used to build the app. Evan believes that keeping things simple is paramount to any software project. For many years, the Salesforce Authenticator backend was situated in one region, and it served them well. Now that the app has become more popular, they are considering the complexities of multi-region support, including sharding their Postgres database. Their trade-off for focusing on adoption over sophistication has paid off, as it often does. Now that their idea has been validated, they can plan to rearchitect their app to support increased volume from a growing security-conscious user base.

Today's Commexis Cast discusses the best stories of the week! We talk Chatbots, YouTube using Wikipedia to fight conspiracies, and an eMarketer report on A/B testing. First, YouTube announced at SXSW that the company will be embedding excerpts of Wikipedia articles underneath videos that discuss, or are related to, popular conspiracy theories. It seems Wikipedia wasn't made aware of the decision, however. Katherine Maher, the Executive Director at Wikimedia, said in a tweet thread this morning (you can read the first tweet in the thread below) that the decision was made independently by YouTube. Wojciki said the Wikpedia articles, along with some other third-parties, will begin rolling out in the coming weeks. Secondly, latest eMarketer report on a surveyed 500 marketers, and only 7% of which say they're currently using AI Chatbots for the brands. The survey was performed by Freedman International and ClickZ, and in addition to the 7%, the report says, "another 27% reported that they're looking into using chatbots, most respondents said their company was either not ready or didn't have the budget to develop them." Finally, Google is testing a visual update to the Google mobile search results page. Today's cast: Phillip Brooks (Commexis Lead Strategist) and Matthew McGrorty (Commexis Videographer/Podcaster). Join the Commexis team as we add context to these stories for the busy CMO. All the news you need to know–from our inbox to yours.

Today's Commexis Cast discusses YouTube's announcement at SXSW that it will be including Wikipedia excerpts alongside conspiracy videos on the platform in an attempt to offer more objective information. The efforts come in response to growing criticism of the platform and it's suggestion algorithm, which made a conspiracy video falsely accusing the Parkland survivors of being "crisis actors" the #1 Trending video on YouTube. YouTube CEO Susan Wojciki on a panel at South by Southwest Interactive festival said boxes with so-called "information cues" will begin popping up in the next few weeks. On an interesting note, it seems Wikipedia was not made aware of the inclusion of their excerpts. Katherine Maher, the Executive Director at Wikimedia, said in a tweet thread this morning that the decision was made independently by YouTube. Some are questioning whether Wikipedia is a correct choice for this kind of fact-checking, especially given it's use by Facebook to fight fake news which we know, alongside many other factors, didn't accomplish the goals Facebook set out. Maher tweeted about the scraping of Wikipedia content for this kind of use, stating, "And frankly, we don't want you to blindly trust us. Sure, we're mostly accurate - but not always! We want you to read @Wikipedia with a critical eye. Check citations! Edit and correct inaccurate information! You can't do that in a simple search result." Wojciki said the Wikpedia articles, along with some other third-parties, will begin rolling out in the coming weeks. Secondly, The Cast discussed eMarketer's latest report shows A/B test do not create significant statistical results. The report continued that, "According to a survey of 3,900 professionals worldwide by UserTesting, fewer than 20% of respondents reported that their A/B tests produce significant results 80% of the time." However, despite this small portion of statistical success, A/B tests can have huge positives. Jonathan Donahue, chief product officer of programmatic platform Sonobi, told eMarketer that "In some instances, A/B testing call-to-action features and ad headlines can save marketers 40% of their media budget on ad platforms like Facebook."

Zen and shiftlessness are often indistinguishable from one anotherRC-2014-102: The Big Lebowski (1998) Your browser does not support this audio Now that the National Film Registry has deemed Lebowski "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant," I thought it the perfect time to delve into the Coen's 1998 comedy/noir/half-assed thinkpiece on Reagan-era zeitgeist. I get lost in the beautiful shadow work of Deakins, point out relevant tropes found throughout the Coen's work, and speculate about what people will remember the day John Turturro dies. After explaining exactly what I think the movie's themes are, I decide that it doesn't matter because the Coens don't really mean any of it.Show NotesDocumentary about Lebowski cultureWilliam Kunstler documentaryThe Wikpedia page for Ron Kuby actually mentions his being name-checked in the film (I didn't mention that he and Kunstler were friends)Brunswick actually makes all kinds of shit, not just bowling and billiardsRoger & Gene's original reviewDownload the mp3.iTunes.

"Wikipedia Definitions"We recorded this little episode as a warm up to our last episode and had a lot of fun doing it. It's only 12 minutes long, why not give a listen? Using an app that gives us a random Wikipedia page when we shake it, we got a few titles and told each other what they were all about. A fun game that you can even play yourself!

Los ponentes, María Sefidari, Miguel García y Felipe Ortega (todos pertenecientes a Wikimedia España) presentan el funcionamiento interno de Wikpedia, las oportunidades de este sitio web en el ámbito docente y los proyectos de la Fundación Wikimedia en España. Las charlas destapan algunos de los mitos sobre Wikipedia y reflexionan sobre su aplicación educativa ya que según el ponente Felipe Ortega ‘representa una gran oportunidad para estudiantes de educación superior, que se encuentran en una situación excelente para crear nuevos artículos e incrementar la calidad de los que ya existen’.
