Over the last few weeks a series of speeches have described the Russian threat to peace in Europe. On 10 January, Sweden's Civil Defence Minister Carl-Oskar Bohlin asserted that 'there could be war in Sweden'. This warning was reinforced by the Swedish military commander-in-chief, Gen Micael Byden, suggested that Swedes should mentally prepare for this to happen. On 15 January the UK's Defence Secretary, Grant Shapps, told the assembled audience at Lancaster House that a 'pre-war' 'inflection point' had been reached.1 Just two days after that, the Dutch Chair of NATO's Military Committee, Admiral Robert Bauer warned that the era of predictability was over and that NATO needed a 'warfighting transformation' as an all-out war with Russia could happen at any stage in the next twenty years.4 What, you may ask, is going on? The procession of dire warnings have led commentators to ponder whether the UK's fighting age population are ready, willing and mentally prepared for what they may be required to do. This is nothing new. In the early 1900s the ruling upper strata of post-Edwardian society worried that the social and psychological character of the urban working class had made them unfit to fight a major war.5 Of course, the vast majority of the working classes did not flinch in responding to the call to arms during the First World War. Indeed, it was the middle and upper class students at Oxford University who, in 1933, debated and passed, by 275 votes to 153, a motion proposed by Cyril Edwin Mitchinson Joad that 'This House will under no circumstances fight for King and Country'. Whether or not the majority of the current population feels that modern Britain represents their cultural aspirations - and is therefore worth fighting for - is, perhaps, a more prescient concern.6 Regarding the scale of the Russia threat, a study, in 2018, compared the size of its economy with that of the American state of Texas. Texas's economy, with its rapidly growing population, was adjudged the larger. It was noted that Russia's population was shrinking due to low birth rates. 7 That said, the dictum that you need a strong economy to have strong national defence forces does not seem to apply to hybrid-totalitarian states.8 Nevertheless, there comes a point at which war casualties and economic fragility coalesce. A U.S. Intelligence assessment reported that by December 2023 as many as 315,000 Russian soldiers had been killed or injured in the war in Ukraine, and that the losses in that war had set back Russia's military modernisation by 18 years. If correct, should we be that concerned about the likelihood that Russia will attack a recently enlarged NATO in western Europe in the next decade?9 What do Byden, Bauer and Pistorius know that overrides the logic of Lanchester's square law? Perhaps the Americans have told their European friends that when the situation in Ukraine is resolved they will concentrate on Asia and expect the Europeans to defend themselves against a militarily reinvigorated but economically fragile Russia. NATO's defence is predicated on the assumption that each country will spend at least 2% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on defence. After America decided to pivot to Asia, President Barak Obama's administration hoped that its European NATO allies would embrace the idea of 'Smart Defence', where national capabilities and resources were pooled and shared to optimize their effectiveness. This concept appears to have been designed to make up for the absence of some American capabilities in Europe and the Mediterranean.10 Europe's ability to satisfy this desire rested on the character of their leaders and their willingness to spend their fair share of their country's GDP on defence. Unfortunately, Obama had a tendency to assess the leaders of Europe's largest economic and military states by the depth of their experience and their progressive credentials, rather than by their commitment to European security and defence. He tho...

This week we're back to discuss what some have called the greatest horror movie of all time, and what might be the birth of queer cinema: THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN. In the years following Frankenstein's success, James Whale would go on to put his campy, humorous touch on horror classics The Old Dark House and The Invisible Man before returning to create his masterpiece. Meanwhile Boris Karloff elevated from a struggling bit player to receiving top-of-the-bill status in a string of successes. Of course, no discussion would be complete without discussing the immeasurable impact Elsa Lanchester made with mere minutes of screen time as the titular Bride. With her lightning bolt updo, and a hiss inspired by protective swans, Lanchester delivered one of the most memorable monsters i Universal cannon. The sequel adds humor to the gothic horror, and goes bigger in every way: there's a larger body count, a larger cast, more elaborate sets, and even more fantastical special effects. We're joined by guest Ygraine (What a Scream Podcast) for the first half of our two-parter on Bride.  Please read Brian's "Faces of Frankenstein: The Innovation and Influence of James Whale's Frankenstein" or more information on this seminal film.     If you like what you're listening to make sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcast feeds.    Please take a moment to rate and review us on the Apple Podcast app, or rate us on the Spotify app. Reviews and five star ratings help new listeners find us every day, and we greatly appreciate the feedback and support.    Check out our website for easy access to our full catalog of shows, with hundreds of hours of free content.

Agatha Christie, writes John Lanchester, ‘is the only writer by whom I've read more than fifty books. So – why?' In the second of our summer readings, Lanchester dissects Christie's compulsive readability, and considers why, despite her brazen lack of style, she was a great experimental formalist.Read more John Lanchester in the LRB: lrb.me/lanchesterpodLet us know your thoughts: lrb.me/podsurveyProduced by Zoe Kilbourn; editing by Sarah SahimSubscribe to Close Readings:In Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3pJoFPqIn other podcast apps: lrb.me/closereadings Hosted on Acast.

¡En menudos líos nos metéis! Tras el éxito “de crítica y público” del podcast de “Coches de la Segunda Guerra Mundial” nos pedisteis un podcast de “Coches de la Primera Guerra Mundial”. No ha sido fácil, nada fácil, pero… ¡aquí está! Y es que, aunque algunos no lo crean, en la Primera Guerra Mundial… ¡ya había coches! Y no es coña…. Vamos a ponernos en contexto: La Primera Guerra Mundial, la “Gran Guerra”, la Guerra que iba a acabar con todas las guerras comenzó en 1914, exactamente el 28 de julio de 1914. El que se considera el primer automóvil de la historia, yo añadiría “térmico”, el Benz Patent-Motorwagen nace solo 28 años antes y el modelo que popularizó verdaderamente el automóvil, el Ford Modelo T nace en 1908, apenas 6 años antes de la contienda. ¿Cuál es la primera conclusión? Que el automóvil, cuando estalló la guerra, era algo que podríamos definir como muy moderno y un recién llegado… aunque justo es reconocer que llegó pisando fuerte: En 1913 se estima que en todo el Mundo había ya 2 millones de coches. Me hace mucha gracia cuando se habla del Jeep como primer TT o cosas similares, porque no se tiene en cuenta que el automóvil, en su nacimiento, todos eran más o menos TT… ¿no te lo crees? Te voy a dar la explicación: Sencillamente, no había carreteras. Así de fácil. En las ciudades importantes el núcleo central estaba pavimentado y poco más. Es decir, los primeros automóviles circulaban básicamente por caminos no siempre en un buen estado. No es que no se hubiese inventado el concepto TT, lo que no se había inventado era la red de carreteras. Y ¡ojo! que eso incluye, además, la dificultad para encontrar fácilmente combustible… no era como ahora, ni mucho menos. Los coches eran caros, por eso, eran propiedad de gente rica o vehículos de trabajo, sobre todo taxis y vehículos de reparto. Requerían un mantenimiento esmerado y no eran sencillos de utilizar. No es de extrañar que a los primeros profesionales de la conducción se les llamase “Chauffeur”, literalmente “calentador”, lo que ahora decimos chófer o conductor. No era fácil. En esos años el rival natural del automóvil, tanto en el ejercito como fuera de él, eran los caballos. En realidad, era al revés: Los coches eran el nuevo rival de los caballos. ¿Y qué ventajas tenían los “modernos” “auto-móviles” sobre las carretas de caballos? No comían, pero necesitaban gasolina, pero a cambio eran inagotables y podían llevar cargas mucho más pesadas y mucho más lejos. Para un ejército tener una brigada motorizada era una gran ventaja frente a una infantería que se moviese a pie o incluso a caballo. Un coche podía hacer cientos de kilómetros en una jornada, en carretas de caballos, eso era imposible… Y esta ventaja quedó muy clara en una ocasión… que os vamos a contar. Los alemanes se acercaban a París y era necesario salir a su encuentro. Pero ¡ojo! el frente tenía una longitud de más de 200 km. ¿Cómo conseguir llevar 6.000 soldados en tiempo récord y distribuirlos adecuadamente? Pues al general francés Gallieni se le ocurre una idea sencilla: ¿Y si los llevamos en taxi? Así que requisaron 630 taxis, la mayoría Renault AG-1, a razón de 5 soldados por coche, perfectamente pertrechados de víveres y armas. Pero ya ha llegado al momento de hablar de algunos de los coches de la Primera Guerra Mundial, algunos de ellos simples vehículos de transporte, otros casi acorazados ligeros. De todo un poco. 1. Austin Blindado. 2. Ford T. 3. Jeffery-Poplavko. 4. Lanchester 4x2. 5. Lancia IZ/IZM. 6. Minerva. 7. Peugeot 1914. 8. Renault AG. 9. Romfell PA.2. 10. White AM. Conclusión. Algunos de estos vehículos, como un Rolls que sale en la película “Lawrence de Arabia” los hay en miniatura de 1/43. La necesidad agudiza el ingenio. Y en las guerras hay muchas necesidades que cubrir. Coche del día. Para mí el protagonista del Marne, el taxi Renault AG… ¿no me digáis que no molaría tener uno en el garaje?

If you are like me, you also have limited resources at your disposal. But often it feels like you are trying to achieve more than you have resources to assign—perhaps against difficult odds. Force concentration is one of the most central concepts in an 80/20 approach to life, work and doing more by doing less. It is a strategy that armies, naval fleets and even camera companies have used to win impossible battles against bigger, stronger enemies and competitors. In this episode, I unpack the strategy of force concentration and how we can use it in our personal lives.

Today is National Pit Bull Awareness Day or NPBAD. It was established to educate and foster positive communications and experiences in the communities in which we and our dogs live, and it is an initiative dedicated to restoring the image of the American Pit Bull Terrier. Born on this day in 1868 in London, England, English polymath and engineer Frederick W. Lanchester. Fred made important contributions to automotive engineering and to aerodynamics, and he co-invented the topic of operations research. Today's word is polymath. Polymath is a noun that means: a person of encyclopedic learning. If you could have any animal as a pet, which one would you choose?

Frederick Lanchester HonFRAeS gave his contemporaries valuable insights into the fundamentals of flight. In the first RAeS Lanchester Lecture from 1957, one of the biggest names in twentieth century aeronautics, Theodore von Kármán, explores Lanchester’s work on aerodynamics and flight mechanics and explains the importance of Lanchester’s classic 1897 paper and 1907 book, Aerodynamics. He also looks at Lanchester’s predictions on the future of civil aviation and his work on aircraft in warfare. Dr von Kármán met Lanchester a number of times and he uses his first-hand knowledge to explore the relationship that Lanchester built with his teacher, Ludwig Prantl, and recounts the story of when he was taken out for a drive by Lanchester during 1911. Dr von Kármán’s Aeronautical Journal paper on Lanchester can be read via the Aeronautical Journal Archive and for free for RAeS members via the RAeS website. Theodore von Kármán HonFRAeS gave the Royal Aeronautical Society’s 1st Lanchester Memorial Lecture on 9 May 1957. The lecture was introduced by the then President, Sir George Edwards HonFRAeS, the vote of thanks was proposed by Dr E. S. Moult HonFRAeS and seconded by Prof A. D. Baxter FRAeS, the recording was digitised thanks to a grant from the RAeS Foundation and the podcast was edited by Eur Ing Mike Stanberry FRAeS.

Edith Lanchester was a young woman in 1890's England who upheld different beliefs than most of society around her. She made a decision that lead to consequences she was certainly not expecting. An event that would put a strain on the family's relationships for the rest of their lives ensued, yet Edith did not change her mind. Her decision likely changed the way English society viewed the role of women and the practice of marriage forever.

To a new world of gods and monsters! We watched The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) with our good friend Mitchell Ralston and we forever Stan Elsa Lanchester as “The Monster’s Mate.” We take a trip through the “Universal Classic Monsters”catalogue and find out what makes this entry so queer. Mincing mad scientists, screeching hausfraus and ersatz domestic partnerships fill this gothic masterpiece, but it’s Lanchester’s brief performance that cements this movie in queer cinema history.  The Bride did more for gays, goths and cholas with nothing more than 5 minutes of screen time, a shake and go wig and an eyebrow pencil than any of us could muster in a lifetime.  They may belong dead but that face will live forever.

Cathy was adopted at an early age, her natural parents were too young to bring her up, so her biological mother was banished from her home in Scotland to a convent in Leeds until Cathy was born, as it was shameful in the 1970's to bring a child up out of wedlock. After her birth Cathy was put into Catholic Care orphanage until she was chosen by her adoptive parents, who took her to Durham. She was raised in Lanchester, Durham until she left home to study photography at eighteen for four years and to escape an abusive relationship, she then moved to London to pursue her photographic career as a Forensic Photographer in 1992, of which she worked until 1998.Soon after moving South she began Kickboxing as a hobby and to give her internal strength and confidence that she lacked after being in an abusive relationship, only to be so good that after just three months her trainer suggested that she entered her first competition. She was hooked immediately and proved to be a natural and was undefeated in twenty-five fights, winning two British Titles. She wanted to have a deeper understanding of the way her body moved and worked to make her a better athlete, so studied for a Diploma in Sports Massage therapy and gained a YMCA Personal Trainer qualification whilst working full time as a Forensic Photographer.After six years competing in Kick Boxing, Cathy was approached by a Professional Boxing Promoter and she applied to the British Boxing Board of Control for her Professional Boxers License, they accepted as they recognized her talent and she became only the second woman in the UK to hold a Professional Boxing license. She loved the sport's fierce competition and its tough training, and was determined to be the best, so she gave up her job with the Metropolitan Police and became a personal trainer at The Third Space Gym (www.thethirdspace.com) so that she could dedicate more time to her training.

Do you enjoy Universal Horror movies? They are our only weakness and we're indulging in it with a discussion about one of the greatest monster movies (and best sequels) ever made, Bride of Frankenstein from 1935. Listen as we discuss the moral transformation of Boris Karloff's creature, Elsa Lanchester's iconic performance as the title character, and how the movie influenced our wedding plans. Warning: Contains explicit language, spoilers, and problematic skullcaps.

In this episode, I have a chat with fellow teammate around where things are going with the wine business that he is involved in - including a new venture coming soon to Hoults Yard, Newcastle Upon Tyne.

With the U.S. still in the shadow of a potential border wall and the fraught discussions surrounding Brexit still circulating among headlines, journalist and novelist John Lanchester presented us with a satirical and frighteningly timely new novel—The Wall. The story follows Joseph Kavanagh, a Defender on the enormous concrete wall his island nation has built to keep the Others—desperate souls trapped outside the wall amid the rising seas—at bay. We follow him through the cold, loneliness, and fear that arise as he tries to fulfill his duties, we share in the contemplations of the consequences of his post, and we witness the dark part of him that wonders if it might be more interesting if something really did happen to him in the line of duty. Sit in with Lanchester for a compelling reflection on the issues of our time—rising waters, rising fear, rising political division—and a suspenseful story of love, trust, and survival. John Lanchester is the author of five novels, including the best-selling Debt to Pleasure and Capital, as well as several works of nonfiction, including I.O.U. and How to Speak Money. His books have won the Whitbread First Novel Prize, the Hawthornden Prize, and the E. M. Forster Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He is a contributing editor to the London Review of Books and a regular contributor to The New Yorker. Listen to an exclusive interview with Town Hall correspondent Katy Sewall and John Lanchester on In The Moment, Episode 29.  Recorded live at Seattle University by Town Hall Seattle on March 20, 2019. 

This program is part of our Good Lit series, underwritten by the Bernard Osher Foundation. Even with just a two-word title, John Lanchester's newest novel, The Wall, evokes the political divisiveness our time. In this dystopian future, current political issues are taken to their logical extremes: issues of mass immigration (and populist reactions against it) are cast as symptoms of the ultimate problem of climate change. Lanchester's ability to merge reality with metaphor make the novel a poignant wake-up call in the context of global politics, which are often too shortsighted. Join us with moderator Michael Lewis, best-selling author of Moneyball and The Big Short, for a witty back-and-forth between two authors who both have a knack for understanding some of the largest political issues of our time—and more importantly, know how to communicate them in an effective and engaging way. **This Program Contains Explicit Language** Learn more about your ad choices.

John Lanchester’s new novel, The Wall, is a Kafkaesque nightmare whose richly-imagined world is very different from our own and yet all too familiar. Like 2012’s Capital (recently made into a TV series starring Toby Jones), Lanchester speaks to our contemporary preoccupations with an unnerving exactness. Keith Miller, reviewing Capital, noted that, ‘like Balzac, Lanchester has the brains to relate the particular to the general; the ruthlessness to make bad things happen to good people; the steadiness of hand to draw unpalatable conclusions’. Lanchester was in conversation with Daniel Soar, editor at the LRB. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Engine pioneer Sir Harry Ricardo talks about his early career, the great men who influenced him and trends in engine development. After discussing working in his Grandfather’s railway engineering company, Ricardo goes onto talk about his big opportunity, when in the middle of the First World War he designed and manufactured engines for the Army’s great new weapon, the tank. Sir Harry also discusses many of the men who he influenced his work on diesel and petrol engines for both aeroplanes and cars, such as F. W. Lanchester, Sir Robert Waley Cohen of Shell, Rudolf Diesel and Ackroyd Stuart, before giving opinions of trends in gas turbine and combustion engine development. The interview was conducted in 1961 by Rex Wailes for an article in the Institution of Mechanical Engineer's magazine, The Chartered Engineer. The podcast was edited by Mike Stanberry FRAeS and it was digitised thanks to a grant from the Royal Aeronautical Society Foundation.

Oscar-winner Charles Laughton is back in more "tales well calculated to keep you in Suspense." We'll hear him co-star with his wife Elsa Lanchester in a radio adaptation of Agatha Christie's "The ABC Murders" (originally aired on May 18, 1943). Then, Laughton plays one of history's most notorious murderers in "Neil Cream, Doctor of Poison" (originally aired on CBS on September 17, 1951).

Dr James Luckring, Senior Research Engineer, NASA Langley Research Centre delivers the 2017 Lanchester Named Lecture at the Royal Aeronautical Society.

This lecture recognises the background and distinguished work of Frederick William Lanchester, and notes that Dr John E Lamar’s background has similarities with his, especially parts of his research in aeronautics and vortices.

If you haven’t picked up on it by now, Anthony is quite a history buff, particularly when it comes to military strategy and history. He’s discovered that much of what makes a great military strategist and leader is transferrable to the business context. Today’s conversation features Chet Richards, an author who has studied a great deal of military history and has written widely on how to apply the truths found there to the business context. You can hear this engaging conversation and the insights Chet has to share on this episode of In The Arena. How warfare instructs us about business strategy, on this episode of In The ArenaClick To Tweet Why warfare strategy has much to teach about business strategy. The strategies that make a military campaign successful have everything to do with the basic components of organizational success: leadership, morale, cooperative effort, assessment of situations and execution of plans. It’s all those things and more that make the context of warfare one that instructs us in principles that transfer to business leadership and strategy. In this conversation Chet Richards shares a number of insights about how business leaders can guide those they lead into more effective outcomes through staying on mission, clear roles to carry out that mission, and the power and importance of agility. You’ll enjoy this episode. When everyone understands the mission and their role in it, you don’t have to worry about morale. You often hear business leaders or managers these days bemoaning the poor morale in their organizations. But Chet Richards says that morale is an outgrowth of effective communication of the mission and the role each player has in fulfilling it. Using wartime examples, Chet chats with Anthony about how military units have conquered against overwhelming odds when their leaders were killed or disabled simply because they clearly understood their own role in the greater mission that was sought. You’ll learn a lot about how to inspire your people to consistency and greater morale on this episode so be sure you listen. The more minds you have working on your problem, the more successful you will beClick To Tweet How are smaller, poorly equipped forces able to win? The question should immediately transfer to business with just a little bit of consideration. The “mom and pop” store on the corner… how can it win against the big box stores when it’s unable to compete on the basis of price? One of the ways is to become more agile, able to pivot and adapt in ways that the larger competition is unable to do fast enough. That’s just one of the tips Chet Richards mentions on this episode of In the Arena, so be sure you take the time to hear what he has to share. What happens when you’re able to learn faster than your opponents are able to learn? It’s really quite simple: You’re able to take advantage of the mental and practical dissonance your opponent is experiencing to move your business forward. It’s a clear lesson from military strategy that teaches us the importance of staying agile and working our niche to stay ahead of those who would cut into our business. You can hear many examples of this kind of insight, taken directly from military history, athletics, and other realms of endeavor in this conversation. You’ll enjoy this deep dive into military history and business, on this episode of In The Arena. Agility is the ability to change the situation more rapidly than the other side can understandClick To Tweet Outline of this great episode [1:34] Anthony’s introduction to this episode with Chet Richards. [3:40] Who was John Boyd? How Chet met him. [10:18] Why John Boyd was working on improving fighter jets. [16:19] The relationship between warfare and business strategy. [21:12] Lanchester’s model. [23:58] The importance of ultra effectiveness. [28:00] How smaller, poorly equipped forces or organizations are able to win.
