#Oxford Gloucester Green market: https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/23825342.oxford-city-council-extends-gloucester-green-market-operators-lease/ loving the name of LSD promotions :) The main thing I noticed as a regular visitor to Thursday markets since before LSD is that food stalls have expanded and pushed out the things I'm more interested in, ie #antiques / #fleamarket. What's left now is hardly worth visiting if you're not after the food.
Last was an incredible talk by Joseph Stiglitz on measuring what counts in economics at #Oxford. Stiglitz delivers important insights as always, and the follow up panel with Avnish Gungadurdoss, Beata Javorcik, and Rodney Scott provides excellent commentary as well.

I haven't posted much for a while as I've been busy with a house move. I'm now living on the outskirts of Oxford - here's a view of some of Oxford's spires/towers which I took from the Hinksey Heights nature trail last week...
Well, that was *a hike*! I tried some new (to me) paths around #Oxford, #Wheatley, #Shotover, #ForestHill and #StantonStJohn. Most of them were nicely kempt, but some were absolutely dire - broken stiles, invisible paths, etc!
I wonder if there's any way to fix them ... #ukhiking #walking #england #uk #oxfordshire #hiking #hike #walking

Just got some great news! I got accepted into the Introductory Ladino class of the Oxford School of Rare Jewish Languages!
Bad news --- the class is at 12:45 pm UK time which will be 6:45 am in Oklahoma!
Oh well, it will be worth it. I'm very excited to learn more about #Ladino, a Spanish dialect spoken by Jews in many parts of the world, thanks to the Spanish expulsions of Jews many centuries ago.

Brilliant video on the old train stations of Oxford: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6uwhU0UXl0
I find it hard to believe that the addition of one more platform at Oxford train station will be enough to prevent it running at/over capacity.
I wonder if there would ever be interest in a station at Grandpont (close to where the original Oxford station was, but maybe slightly south at Hinksey Sidings as there is more space there). This would offer more space for future platform expansion, and there could be a light rail link between the two stations.
Drove up to Oxford to shake up the day and work alongside Tom. Even with all the gnats swirling around piles of trash we had an excellent and productive afternoon. It’s nice to work in a place with lots of light and humor, something I hope to do with more regularity.
Extra bonuses included a somewhat healthy lunch outside, seeing little bits of projects Tom’s been working on throughout the studio and enjoying the tree filled drive.
Last was an excellent talk by David Bilchitz on the fundamental rights and the legal obligations of business at the University of #Oxford. Bilchitz sets out a compelling approach for systematically determining corporate societal obligations, drawing from truly global legal traditions.

I know all about the ruling elite behind #Brexit all attending #Oxford together in the late 80s.
The started the Brexit planning from 1988, because when they espoused "We want our country back", the "We" wasn't "Us" the electorate, they meant "THEM", the ruling class.
For completely different reasons, this too aligned with #Russia's geo-political interests, so was actively encouraged, supported & funded by a more than willing #Putin regime. 🤷🏾♂️

Il y a cinquante ans mourait J. R. R. Tolkien (3 janvier 1892 — 2 septembre 1973), écrivain, dessinateur et philologue britannique.
Passionné par les langues, spécialiste des épopées en vieil anglais, influencé par les œuvres de William Morris et la mythologie grecque, il élabore un "legendarium" autour d'un univers, la Terre du Milieu, qui change la face des littératures de l'imaginaire avec la parution du "Hobbit" (1937) puis du "Seigneur des Anneaux" (1954-1955). De nombreux autres écrits paraissent à titre posthume avec l'aide de ses enfants et petits-enfants, tels "Le Silmarillion" (1977) et "Les Enfants de Húrin" (2007).
Il est aussi l'auteur de plusieurs beaux contes et poèmes souvent méconnus, comme "Feuille, de Niggle", "Roverandom" et "Mythopoiea", ainsi que de peintures et de dessins, notamment des illustrations pour le "Hobbit" et "Roverandom" ou encore ses "Lettres du Père Noël".
En tant que philologue, il passionne ses étudiant-e-s et contribue à renouveler l'étude de l'épopée "Beowulf".

While it was wonderful to handle letters by #JRRTolkien, they do not give much insight into his #fantasy writing. In fact the subject of most of the letters is Tolkien the status of #Icelandic or #OldNorse literature, especially the #Sagas at #Oxford.
I have attached a fraction which gives an idea about the nature of these letters.

In seinem Bericht von Mai 2023 empfiehlt der Wissenschaftler, der sich auf die Untersuchung von Ernährungssystemen anhand gesundheitlicher, ökologischer und wirtschaftlicher Dimensionen spezialisiert hat, pflanzenbetontere Ernährungsweisen. Dies würde nicht nur das Klima schonen, sondern auch die Pro-Kopf-Kosten für Ernährung senken

re-watching "Shadowlands" and it's so amazing how much of a film I can remember 100000% but how much of it also unspools like a stranger, I don't even remember forgetting so many scenes!
But I did love the scenes set in The Eagle and Child, aka "The Bird & Baby" to which I pilgrimaged whilst in #Oxford last month but sadly it has closed.
I'd hoped to raise a glass to Col Lewis, Jack, and Tolkien.

On Saturday, 5th August, join XR Oxford and allied organisations to protest about the shocking state of our polluted waterways. In this 4th Wave of the #DirtyWater campaign we will be reaching out to the public in #Oxford, seeking support in the campaign against water companies that continue to pump raw sewage into our rivers. Join protesters, drummers, and singers as we give warnings about the health risks of our polluted waterways and challenge Thames Water to clean up their act.

There's an irony in this now, @openrightsgroup
learned something from BBC radio #oxford today:
COWS hate #CountryMusic, according to research involving a Scottish herd and an ice cream firm.
Country tunes were played to 45 cows at a farm in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, to see if the music would increase the amount of milk they produced.

Next was a fantastic talk by Isaiah Andrews on modeling scientific communication at #Oxford. The central idea here is that communicating a scientific result to non-experts is challenging and fraught with peril - simply "reporting" the data isn't really an option because it's inaccessible to non-experts. IMO this is equally applicable for internal corporate analytics, and the methods introduced here are very instructive. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nah135IwgNU (3/7)
Next was a fantastic talk by Lily Hu on the problems with variables in algorithms and social science more broadly at the #Oxford. This is a deep dive into the impossibility of defining a "neutral" variable or algorithm, and how one has to think very carefully about how to define and analyze variables in systems, and ensure that one communicates those decisions transparently.
