Don't be alarmed by the title (or do, if that's your thing), but we're back with another episode with the first Oxford-Cambridge gruge match of the season! Hear us talk about sexual tension in films, give our predictions on the teams we've seen so far and muse about what intellectual history is all about (we've still got our eye on you, automotive journalism). Stay tuned till the end for the best-dressed.

Kitapsız bir dünya kurulamaz. Bir dünya kurulacaksa bu -mesela- Silicon Vadisi'nden değil yine Harvard'dan, Şikago'dan, Princeton'dan, UCLA'den (University of California, Los Angeles) kurulacak. Oxbridge'ten (Oxford + Cambridge), Sorbonne'dan, Bologna'dan filan kurulacak, oradan Silicon Vadileri vesaire doğacak... Üniversiteden kurulacak teknolojik dünyalar da. KİTAPSIZ DÜNYA KURULAMAZ: BİR DÜNYA KURULACAKSA, ÜNİVERSİTE'DEN KURULACAK! Dikkat ettiyseniz, İslâm dünyasından hiçbir üniversiteden sözetmedim. Edemezdim, çünkü yok böyle bir şey artık. İslâm dünyası, Müslümanların yaşadıkları toprakları yeniden İslâm yurdu (dâru'l-islâm), selâm yurdu (dâru's-selâm) ve insanlık yurdu (dâru'l-insan) yapacak fikriyatı geliştirecek “üniversite”lerinden mahrum. Sadece İslâm dünyası değil elbette. Bütün dünyada üniversite, kapitalizmin şuh fahişesi, bütün kirlerinin üstünü örten, üstelik de cilalı imaj devrinin hızla devridaim etmesiyle bunu gerçekleştiren liberalizmin düşünceyi yok eden ve düşünmeyi felçleştiren yıkım yerleri olsa da, bir dünya kurulacaksa, yine üniversitelerden kurulacak. Elbette mevcut liberal / postmodern üniversite hem kapitalizmin semirdikçe semirmesene hem de dünyayı sömürdükçe sömürmesine, hakikati izafileştirdikçe yok etmesine yol açıyor ama yıkıcı da olsa bütün “ruhsuz” bilimin, “barbar” teknolojinin geliştirildiği yerler üniversiteler. Yapıcı ya da yıkıcı fikriyatı geliştiren mekânlar üniversiteler: Fikriyatı ve külliyatı. Zira fikriyat olmadan külliyat, külliyat olmadan medeniyet inşa edilemez. Elbette üniversite kriz yaşıyor: Düşünce'yi değil de düşüş'ü üreten tohumları ekiyor postmodern liberal üniversite çünkü. Düşünce, kültür ve sanat hayatı, pazar'a sürüldü, pazar'da üretiliyor artık. Üniversiteli veya üniversitesiz, postmodern cilalı imaj çağı, hükmediyor kitap yayıncılığının dünyasına da. Sadece Batı'dan sözetmiyorum: Bütün dünyada böyle artık. Batı'da akademi içinde ve dışında sürdürülen kitap yayıncılığı birbirini besliyor aslında. Bizde akademide yayıncılık neredeyse yok denecek kadar berbat durumda: Bilgi Üniversitesi, Boğaziçi Üniversitesi ve Koç Üniversitesi dışında. Maalesef böyle. Sakarya Üniversitesi, Sabahattin Zaim ve İbn Haldun gibi üniversitelerde bir kıpırdanma var, inşallah patlama yapar bu yayıncılık çabaları önümüzdeki süreçte... Türkiye'de kitap yayıncılığında da bir patlama yaşanıyor: Çok büyük bir endüstri oluştu. Pazar büyüdü. Azdı: Saçma sapan popüler, bayağı, döküntü yazarlar ve kitaplar piyasayı kapladı. Bunlar okuyucu mu artırıyor, okumaya, kitaba ilgiyi mi tırmandırıyor yoksa ayartıcı postmodern dromokratik kültürü mü yaygınlaştırıyor, büyük muamma! İŞ BANKASI'NDAN YAPI KREDİ'YE KİTAP YAYINCILIĞINDA PATLAMA... Her neyse bendeniz burada konuyu bankaların kitap yayıncılığına ve Albaraka Yayınları'na getireceğim. Her şey, Enis Batur'un “çılgın” girişimiyle başladı: Yapı Kredi, hem nicelik hem de nitelik olarak büyük bir kitap -ve dergi- yayıncılığı atağı başlattı yaklaşık yirmi yıl önce. Elbette İş Bankası, bütün ezberleri bozarcasına kaliteli ve çaplı bir kitap yayıncılığı yapıyordu ama tekti, yalnızdı neredeyse. İş Bankası›nı hem kaliteli, seviyeli hem de ekonomik açıdan kitap fiyatları çok uygun yayıncılık yapmasından ötürü kutluyorum. Yapı Kredi için de Enis Batur'u ve ardından gelen ekipleri kutlamak kadirşinaslık olarak değerlendirilmeli. İki bankanın yayınları hem entelektüel hayatımıza hem de kültür hayatımıza küçümsenemeyecek katkılar sundu. İslâmî kesimler, yıllarca katılım bankalarından da kültüre ve kitap yayıncılığına el atmasını beklediler. Bankaların işi mi kültür dünyasına, kitap yayıncılığına ve entelektüel hayata mesafe kazandırmak, diye sorulabilir haklı olarak... Üniversiteler, cemaatler, kültür faaliyeti yapan yüzlerce STK ne işe yarar, diye devam edilebilir bu soru faslına yüksek sesle...

Marlene is coaching a camp - why go on camp? https://fastermastersrowing.com/how-to-select-a-camp/ 07:00 The role of trials and testing Situations where rowers don't want to do a time trial. But coaches want a measure of fitness. - race in single sculls 10:30 Are you trying to boat the best possible crew? What is your philosophy of training - how do you measure progress? Have the strategy discussion. What do you want from your rowing? Why are you here? These will guide your boat lineup choices and testing and trials. 14:30 The main tests you can do 1 - On indoor rower do a 10 second peak power ini Watts. Who's the strongest? No preparation needed. 2 - 1k test - shows your top end fitness. Compare to world C2 rankings. What percentile is your score in? 3 - On water test - sub-maximal - do a 2k piece taking the rate up two every 500 meters. Start at rate 24 and go up to 30 - record the 500m split for each 500 meters. Do it twice or three times in a session. Your 500m splits should go down 3 seconds each time you take the rate up 3 points. Repeat fortnightly. This will help you predict your race splits. The increase in rate / reduction in split is linear up to around rate 32, then drops to 2 or 1 second per 500m 22:00 If you don't want to measure progress, don't test. 25:00 Do not be afraid of trials.

Seat racing - can you blend your crew to make it go faster than the sum of the parts? You are competing with your squad to make the lineup but then once you are in the crew, you have to gel to make the boat go fast.

When Ian Gardiner was 10 years old, he was the fastest kid in his class to solve the rubix cube. He was also quick enough to sense a business opportunity so he sold the solution to his classmates. Despite the modest circumstances of his childhood in Glasgow, he went on to secure a place at St Peter's College Oxford and row not once, but twice in the prestigious Oxford Cambridge boat race, the culmination of 6 hours of training 6 days per week for 7 months on top of demanding Oxford academic expectations. What becomes of a man who has the sort of innate smarts and stamina? Surprisingly he has found himself halfway around the world, and together with his wife Andrea Gardiner one half of the possibly the most dynamic couple in the Australian startup eco-system with their firm Jelix ventures. Ian is also the co-founder of the wonderfully expansive network of technology and investment enthusiasts Innovation Bay and for good measure the host of probably my favourite Australian startup podcast Open the Podbay doors. Along the way Ian became a Member of YPO, had a stint as the Head of Startups at AWS in Australia/NZ, has won the Pearcy award for IT Entrepreneur of the year. He is a Passionate startup mentor, Cyclist, gamer, skier, husband, geek, and father (but not necessarily in that order).

Our first Oxford Cambridge grudge match of the season and it did not disappoint! We saw a very spirited St Catharine side go through to the second round, and there is a chance for University College to get a second chance, which they certainly deserve.Note, there is, unfortunately, a few audio bugs in the episode that we could not iron out, apologies for that! Hopefully, the gremlins are expunged next week.

Skin in the Game: Hidden Asymmetries in Daily Life, is a 2018 nonfiction book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a former options trader with a background in the mathematics of probability and statistics. Taleb's thesis is that skin in the game -- i.e., having a measurable risk when taking a major decision -- is necessary for fairness, commercial efficiency, and risk management, as well as being necessary to understand the world. The book is the last part of Taleb's multi-volume philosophical essay on uncertainty, titled the Incerto. Summary Another classic book from Taleb. He makes a sound argument for alignment of inscentives and why many problems in the world come from people not having skin in the game. Key Idea If an actor pockets some rewards from a policy they enact or support without accepting any of the risks, economists consider it to be a problem of "missing incentives". In contrast, to Taleb, the problem is more fundamentally one of asymmetry: one actor gets the rewards, the other is stuck with the risks.[1] Taleb argues that "For social justice, focus on symmetry and risk sharing. You cannot make profits and transfer the risks to others, as bankers and large corporations do... Forcing skin in the game corrects this asymmetry better than thousands of laws and regulations." The centrality of negative incentives Actors - per Taleb - must bear a cost when they fail the public. A fund manager that gets a percentage on wins, but no penalty for losing is incentivized to gamble with his clients funds. Bearing no downside for one's actions means that one has no "Skin In The Game", which is the source of many evils. An evolutionary process is an additional argument for SITG. Those who err and have SITG will not survive, hence evolutionary processes will eliminate (physically or figuratively by going bankrupt etc) those tending to do stupid things. Without SITG, this process cannot work. Examples Robert Rubin, a highly-paid director and senior advisor at Citigroup, paid no financial penalty when Citigroup had to be rescued by U.S. taxpayers due to overreach. Taleb calls this sort of a trade, with upside gain but no or limited downside risk, a "Bob Rubin trade." Intellectual Yet Idiot Intellectual Yet Idiot (IYI) is a term coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb in his essay by the same name that refers to the semi-intelligent well-pedigreed "who are telling us 1) what to do, 2) what to eat, 3) how to speak, 4) how to think… and 5) who to vote for". They represent a very small minority of people but have an overwhelming impact on the vast majority because they affect government policy. IYI are often policy makers, academics, journalists, and media pundits. Some favourite quotes The knowledge we get by tinkering, via trial and error, experience, and the workings of time, in other words, contact with the earth, is vastly superior to that obtained through reasoning, something self-serving institutions have been very busy hiding from us. Bureaucracy is a construction by which a person is conveniently separated from the consequences of his or her actions. Avoid taking advice from someone who gives advice for a living, unless there is a penalty for their advice. Seeing the psychologist Steven Pinker making pronouncements about things intellectual has a similar effect to encountering a drive-in Burger King while hiking in the middle of a national park. Evidence of submission is displayed by the employee’s going through years depriving himself of his personal freedom for nine hours every day, his ritualistic and punctual arrival at an office, his denying himself his own schedule, and his not having beaten up anyone on the way back home after a bad day. He is an obedient, housebroken dog. What we saw worldwide from 2014 to 2018, from India to the U.K. to the U.S., was a rebellion against the inner circle of no-skin-in-the-game policymaking “clerks” and journalists-insiders, that class of paternalistic semi-intellectual experts with some Ivy League, Oxford-Cambridge or similar label-driven education who are telling the rest of us 1) what to do, 2) what to eat, 3) how to speak, 4) how to think, and… 5) whom to vote for. People who are bred, selected, and compensated to find complicated solutions do not have an incentive to implement simplified ones. If your private life conflicts with your intellectual opinion, it cancels your intellectual ideas, not your private life. Survival comes first, truth, understanding, and science later.

057: James Cracknell on Endeavour   A note about Coronavrius We, individuals, groups, communities, society look up to sporting heroes, we revere and admire their dedication, their persistence, their focus, the sacrifices they make to make the most of their often rare genetics and to do so on the greatest performance stage. As the world battles Coronavirus, we're all going to be required to make sacrifices that we've never made before in pursuit of applying ourselves, to the collective goal of public health.   We've thought hard about whether while the world is taking dramatic turn, whether the appropriateness of us publishing podcast episodes about a topic of human performance is even relevant. Certainly we can appreciate that if you normally tune in but your head is elsewhere at the moment then it might be better to switch off, go an focus on what you need to do (which hopefully isn't stock piling toilet rolls) and listen to this again when it suits you best.   We've decided to continue because perhaps these episodes can offer some inspiration, maybe an hour's worth of distraction, perhaps to help refocus you on what you need to be doing. Also, there are a lot of people now distancing and isolating for the first time in their lives – I hope in some ways these episodes can be some supportive company and a positive influence as the worry and the noise surrounding the outbreak increases.   This week's episode features my interview with James Cracknell. Two time Olympic Champion in coxless four rowing, part of perhaps the most renowned rowing crew of all time the Sydney 2000 four – a team I was honoured to support. On retirement, James didn't put his feet up, in fact almost the opposite. He crossed the Atlantic with Ben Fogle, raced to the South Pole, kayaked the length of the Thames, was at the time the fastest Briton to run the Marathon de Sables, competed in the Yukon Arctic Ultra and has run the London Marathon numerous times with a best time of 2:43 which for a 90kg guy is phenomenal (at the time of recording James was headed for the London Marathon in a few weeks, but the event has now been postponed for now to October). In 2010 James undertook Ride Across America and was hit by a petrol tanker suffering a contrecoup brain injury – he is now a campaigner for the use of bike helmets – which effectively saved his life.   Last year James became the oldest competitor and the oldest winner, in the history of the Oxford – Cambridge boat being twice as old as his crew mates and competitors and older than some of his crew mates dad's. I worked with James in the pursuit of this goal and it was one of the most challenging cases I've worked on, to problem solve and innovate in such unique ways. James did so through some trying personal circumstances which played out in the press.   In this conversation James and I discuss his early in drivers, becoming part of a crew with some of the highest achievers in sport Sir Steve Redgrave and Sir Matthew Pinsent. Why he kept pushing towards goals after he retired from Olympic sport and his passions for public service and how through public policy he aspires to make the biggest difference to the people's health and well-being. I do believe there is a lesson in here about creating intensity about doing what we need to do to accomplish something. I also think there is a message about feeling the fears but rather than being paralysed by them – acting upon them. Happy listening, keep your distance and wash your hands folks! Show notes Steve and James discuss their long-standing relationship Honesty and being unafraid to be unpopular James's return to high level sport and The Boat Race James required a bespoke recovery programme that enabled him to come back stronger The triple whammy of ultra-endurance endeavours, starvation on The Island and being 45! Any reputation James had disappeared rapidly at the 5K ergo Earning respect by beating Steve and Matthew There are different ways to skin a cat! James's physiology Being the best at everything that takes no natural talent     Defending titles and building on success. “Anyone can win once” Switching sides and doing the double The part vanity has to play in winning or losing Pressure Setting extraordinary goals The challenges full time athletes face! Motivating other people, being a burden, enjoying sport and rewarding yourself Relationships, perspectives and differences Swapping lycra for goretex or a gown at Cambridge and the binary nature of winning and losing Strictly what's the worst that could happen?! Do not show weakness. Do not show the opposition you are tired. Showing vulnerability Don't let them see you being sick Winning by a second or 4, break the world record…no?!

With MIPIM postponed, EG sought to recreate many of the sessions we had planned for Cannes in our studio in London. Day 2, session 2: Where is the opportunity in the Oxford-Cambridge Arc? What are Government plans? Driving UK productivity Once in a generation opportunity to invest Chair: Damian Wild, Editor-in-Chief & Publisher, EG

There has been more talk than action from government in delivering on the promise of the Oxford Cambridge arc. But with a relatively new government, an imminent Budget and a prime minister whose appetite for infrastructure development is voracious that could soon change. In the first of two podcasts on the opportunity, EG takes a look at what’s wanted, what’s needed and whats likely to happen in the months and year ahead. Joining Damian Wild in the EG studio are:  Rob Hopwood, Partner, Planning, Bidwells Olaide Oboh, Director of Partnerships, Firstbase Sarah Haywood Price, Chief Executive, Advanced Oxford In partnership with Bidwells  

Your favourite Bristolians are here chatting BS in, but not limiting the discussion to, the BS postcode. This week we have a honest discussion on the state education system, focusing on the selectivity in teaching on British colonial history, a one size fits all teaching structure, and why we need to start celebrating free thinking and unconventionality! On this weeks 'Is your glass half full or half empty?' segment... we question whether the use of popular figures, such as grime artists, at Universities like Oxford/Cambridge will make these spaces more accessible to younger people of colour.

The Oxford-Cambridge Innovation Arc has the potential to deliver 1 million new homes and create up to 1.1 million new jobs by 2050 if the required new infrastructure is delivered. However, a co-ordinated response is key and with the area spanning 26 district and unitary authorities and five Local Enterprise Partnerships, can this challenge be overcome? Join Guy Ruddle and guests: Rob Sadler, David Jackson and Charlie Rowton-Lee as they discuss Oxford, Cambridge and everything in between and what the Arc will ultimately mean for the region. Whether it’s the implementation of a new expressway or improved rail links, joining the dots will create an economic centre worthy of competing on a global stage.

This age old rivalry between two of the finest institutions in the world has often been played out on the river in the famous Boat Race. One of the most controversial moments in Boat Race history occurred before the TV cameras could capture it. The story endures to this day. Was it a win for Cambridge who had led the way or Oxford who made a late surge for victory? Find out here! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Master's AA: 25 Master's G: I have underwear older than that! NEWS HIGHLIGHTS Ellen Minzner: Community Rowing, Boston (CRI) was named a US Para National Team Training Center last week. One of the first major events is a Paralympic Identification and Development Camp May 31-June 4. Ellen Minzner was appointed US Rowing Para High-Performance Director, and Shelagh Donohoe was appointed coach of the US PR3 4+. Donohoe assisted the silver medal PR3 4+ crews of 2014, 2015, and 2016 and is currently the Head Coach at URI. She won a silver medal in the Barcelona Olympic Games in the Women’s 4- in 1992. Mark Wilson: Listener Poll (respond in comments): What is your favorite race to be a participant and spectator? What are your thoughts about 2K vs 1K for masters? Dexter Reservoir Regatta, Eugene OR hosted 28 clubs and over 500 entries - 2000m for most and 1000m for masters. Do masters want 2K (see above)? See also Covered Bridge Regatta. Never Too Old to Race: The Boat Race 165th running for men and 74th for women was just held in Oxford/Cambridge, UK (since 1829). Heads up, masters: The oldest competitor was James Cracknell, age 46. Granted, he is a double Olympian, has rowed across the Atlantic and biked across the USA - not your normal 46-year-old! Spring Training and Safety Everyone wants to get out and get miles, but we need to live to row another day. Watch for flooding, cold temps, rusty skills, spring thunderstorms, newbie rowers, new hazards in the water. Be careful, in control, and aware of your surroundings. Once training, pick some goal events. Think about which ones are the most important to you and how to train for those two or three events through early or less important races. Fewer, quality miles are better than more mediocre miles. Vince Lombardi didn’t say “Practice makes perfect.” He did say, “Perfect Practice Makes Perfect!” Good words to live by. Use your technology in a positive way. Not only to log total meters but also the number of strokes, the rate, time rowed, and time NOT rowing. Distance per stroke (DPS) is a good measure of where you stand this time of year.

"Some of my most interesting cases have come to me in this way through Mycroft." [GREE] If asked, who would you say is the biggest Sherlock Holmes fan? Prior to January 2015, we would not have said Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. But when he made a surprise appearance at the 2015 BSI Dinner and we had a chance to speak with him we discovered it was in fact he.   Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Anna Waterhouse have written a new book called , due out next week. We won't give too much away, but it chronicles the early career of Sherlock Holmes's older brother, at the age of 23. You'll find the classic Oxford-Cambridge boat race, the grimy streets of London, cigars, a sea voyage and much more.
