Like the thirty other colleges in Cambridge University, Churchill College is committed to outstanding academic achievement; more than twenty of its members have won the Nobel Prize. While it focuses especially on science, engineering and technology, its teaching and research also reflect the intense interest in the arts and humanities and builds bridges from academe to business and the professions.
Open, friendly, progressive and outward-looking, Churchill College pioneered the entry of women to all-male colleges. It seeks and welcomes able students who might not otherwise aspire to come to Cambridge and draws a rich variety of scholars from abroad. Churchill College provides a most attractive and inspiring environment, as its founder wished, for new generations keen to learn and to meet the challenges of the future.
Gosh! How disappointing! 20 minutes on and still she hasn't said anything but " war is bad " and " how Europeans could do this? ", all these publications and books and she can only share that? What's the point of the lecture, seriously? We all know war is bad. simplistic opinion. I thought there would be some information and history facts in this lecture, I was wrong.
this crazy alarmist spewed this nonsense 5 years ago and NOTHING bad has happened. CO2 follows temperatures and never leads. CO2 at 1 point in history was 5,000 ppm and we were in a deep iceage. we need 1,000 ppm for continuing greening of the 🌎 world. how this guy can keep pretending CO2 isn't great plant food is the depth of his insanity.
49:04 Rupert Read puts his glasses on like a superhero. On a serious note this talk is crucial. At the very least, a majority should be focused and talking about this before celebrity culture, before the olympics.
58:00 Sorry guy but if one of your top concerns is land use then animal agriculture of the non-industrial variety needs to go too. To get rid of industrial is to demand most people go vegetarian anyway. That's 99% of all animal ag in the US at least. Why didn't you plainly state this fact in front of this wide audience?
49:41 'neither of us are in favour of positive discrimination... we do do unconscious biss training ... we've tried [blind] cvs... positive discrimination is against the law in this country'
7:25 'the men were given initials and the women were fiven full names and that really annoyed me' and then the interviewer describes another example where there was a list with all initials but one was followed by (F) as the 'default' was an assumed male - and this was only about eight years ago yep: ridiculous patriarchal anachronism
I saw similar experiments with Squeak and Pharo, which are smalltalk systems. Due to the usage of closures instead of "object patterns", the code is usually very compact. It is interesting how Smalltalk programmers are often against static typing. They demonstrate it by having stuff like a HTML and pdf browser built within. There is even an alternative (the Self language) that has no classes at all. Their idea is that types do not solve much. They are just a different abstraction. Haskell and Smalltalk do not conflict as much that people may think. It differs mainly in where you place your code and how you test/verify your code.
Lord Nelson Almighty‼️😳 Did i just hear the Rear Admiral compare a highly literate Man (Admiral Lord Jacky Fisher) to a completely illiterate man (Donny Boy Trump)⁉️ Trump couldn’t find the Baltic on a map if you circled it‼️ An incredible False Equivalency. There’s a Huge gulf between Dreadnaught & Trump Tower - I’m literally sea sick 🤢 However, a fascinating & enlightening series of presentations, particularly by Admiral Fisher’s descendant family. Has the biopic movie been made or available by now in 2024? Would truly make my day…
I think the tally system is cool, but what if it was like there are 3 lanes open and those are up for a bidding war between companies for spots in the first, second, third spot, etc. By having the bidding war, if you bank up a tally, that tally isn't worth a full van spot. It loses value depending on how everyone else is banking as well, making it more incentivizing to not bank up your stuff.
I arrived spring in Cambridge very late. Nothing was open. The year was 2000 and I was there for the next 6 weeks. Never been there before. Didn't know anyone or how things worked. I came in from Scottsdale, Arizona. I asked a cab driver for advice. I was slated to stay at Clare College and it was locked up tight. The fellow called around and Churchill apparently said bring the dumb yank here and we will take care of him. They did! I had a nice clean room and a great breakfast. They charged me a few pounds. I think it was like 4 US dollars. Plus everyone was exceptionally nice!
Very stunning to have a person of high calibre a renown Sierra Leonean Dr. Kayode Robin-Coker. I am proud some one like you took part in this event. God bless Rev. Allan P. Wilson
If you focus on developing the interest of people who hadn't thought about your field, and hen abandon them once they ARE interested, what have you achieved?
“Action script, whatever that is.” That hurts. (For those who don’t know, Action Script is kinda like Java scripts long list staticly typed cousin, and was used in Adobe Flash.)
As someone aspiring to undertake a masters in computer science, it was disheartening to see the question on Trigonometry right from the get go. Of course I understand why they're there (a basic aptitude in maths is required) but sadly I have very little formal traching in trigonometry. However, my confidence was almost regained when I saw the next problem. Because I immediately thought about quieing the vans based on weight! So it shows me that I should be looking for courses with more emphasis on logic over mathematics.
