Exeter College Boat Club Exeter College, Turl Street, Oxford, OX1 3DP We are seeking to fill the roles of Men’s Head Coach and Women’s Head Coach for the 2017-18 academic year to start in early October. About us: Exeter College Boat Club typically teaches between 40 and 60 people to learn to row each year – with each crew training anything between two and five times a week. The Club is an integral part of College life and provides a positive and beneficial focus for students away from their studies. Both sides of the squad are on the rise after positive campaigns in both Torpids and Summer VIIIs. We are looking for coaches who can deliver an equally strong performance next season. We have a large number of committed returners as well as ambitious lower boat athletes on both sides of the squad. The Men’s and Women’s First VIIIs are aiming to match or beat their performances in Torpids and continue their climb in Summer Eights. Our fleet and boathouse on the Isis are well-equipped; we have recently benefitted from the purchase of two new racing eights and we have access to weights and ergs (static and dynamic). Land training is primarily conducted at our boathouse in Oxford whereas water sessions for senior crews will be at Abingdon with a launch. While we will focus on Torpids and Summer Eights, we are also looking to compete in a number of internal and external regattas. We are able to offer competitive pay for the right candidate. Job Requirements: All candidates are expected to meet the following requirements: Have prior coaching experience. Be available during the Oxford terms 0th week to 8th week. Be available to bank ride during Torpids and Summer Eights. Discuss and provide a training plan at the start of each term, covering both land and water training. Be able to provide accurate relevant feedback to both rowers and coxes during outings. Be available for pre-term training camps prior to the start of Hilary and Trinity Be available to coach approximately 5 outings including 2 during weekends at Abingdon Must have a licence to drive a launch. For exceptional candidates we may be willing to waive these requirements. The ideal candidate would also satisfy the following requirements: Have experience coaching athletes of differing rowing and coxing ability, from novice to senior level. Be available to attend all regattas we compete in, both internal and external Be available to attend land training sessions during the week. Interested applicants should send a CV and cover letter indicating the role they are applying for to Aidan Walker ([email protected]). .

Then came the political economy, the knowledge economy, and the information economy. Now, it seems, we have the attention economy. The notion, which goes back to the 1990s, is that nowadays people compete for attention as much as for money or knowledge. According to the pundits, attention has become a currency: it has scarcity value and endless attraction. As with money, only the naïve or incapable (or the truly wise) can resist its lure. In the digital age, to be a winner in the attention economy requires constant tweeting, blogging, and updating one’s status on Facebook; a hugely time-consuming business.

Tracing the River Thames
37 TRACING THE RIVER THAMES "ALONG HIS SILVER- WINDING WAY" AIDEEN E. BRODY テムズ川、水源から河口まで A. E.ブローディテムズ川の源流グロスタシャからロンドンを越えて北海に蝣JfL入するテムズ川の流れについて述べる。英国の南部を西から束-と横切るテムズ川は、有史以前より交通路として使われてきたが、上流では静かな田園地方を流れる川であるが、下流ではこの国特有のさまざまな歴史を反映している。この河川をめぐる有名な行事、人びと、場所、この河川を利用して行われるスポーツ、河畔の娯楽のあれこれについて述べ、今日のテムズが抱える環境問是凱二も触れた。 The poet Edmund Spenser wrote of walking "Along the shoare of silver stream- ing Themmes." Milton called it "royaトtowered Thame." Wordsworth surveyed the scene from one of its bridges and penned his famous line "Earth has not anything to show more fair." What is it about England's River Thames that has inspired so many of her poets to rhapsodize on its charms? All rivers are mesmeric with their ever- changing reflections in rippling water. The Thames adds to this with the constant movement of all varieties of river craft ; it glides past elegant buildings and under curved bridges ; it responds dramatically to changes of tide and weather, and, above all, it is connected with so much of England's history. No wonder, then, that such a source of inspiration is beloved by the poets. In this report, we will follow the river from its beginnings in Gloucestershire to its end beyond London, taking a look at places located on the river, at events connected with the river and, less seriously, at attractive riverside relaxations. 38 Bul.

Cruise the River Thames and Oxford Canal in a Narrowboat
Cruise the River Thames and Oxford Canal in a narrowboat How long do I need? One day Where is it? Oxford Highlights For a quick way to slow down, hire a narrowboat and savour life at four miles an hour. From their base in Thrupp on the pretty Oxford Canal, Oxfordshire Narrowboats hire out easy-to-operate day boats that provide the perfect introduction to the joys of narrowboating. Boats have a cabin and toilet and a removable cover at the front for all-weather cruising. They take up to ten people, so large families or groups of friends can take a picnic and all go along to enjoy the ride. Boats are available from March to October, with a day’s hire running from 9.30–17.30 – enough time to enjoy our suggested seven-hour trip. Take a tour of Oxford by water The day begins at the Canal Centre at Thrupp, a classic canal-side village featured frequently in rural scenes of TV’s Inspector Morse. From here you turn south to begin a circular trip through the memorable landmarks and scenery of the Oxford Ring - one of Britain's smallest circular cruising 'rings'. Bringing together the River Thames and the Oxford Canal, this route is popular with boating enthusiasts and sightseers alike. Leaving Thrupp, you’ll cruise gently amongst the pleasant pastures of the Oxford Canal to slip through the secretive Duke’s Cut that links the canal to the adjacent River Thames. The distinctive spires of the Oxford skyline come into view, seen across the peaceful expanse of ancient Port Meadow with its grazing cattle and seasonal flocks of migratory birds.

At Jesus you have the opportunity to increase knowledge and enrich your pupils’ education, whereas all my colleagues seem to talk about nowadays is money. Students are increasingly just seen as a source of fees, research is relegated in favour of research funding, and everyone worries about the next round of job cuts.’ Her comments made me ponder the word ‘appreciate’, whose different connotations don’t relate obviously to one another.

The Isis Magazine - Wikipedia
12/30/2019 The Isis Magazine - Wikipedia The Isis Magazine The Isis Magazine is a student publication at the The ISIS University of Oxford, where the magazine was established in 1892. Traditionally a rival to the student newspaper Cherwell, Isis was finally acquired by the latter's publishing house, Oxford Student Publications Limited, in the late 1990s. It now operates as a termly magazine and website, providing an outlet for features journalism, although for most of its life it appeared weekly. The two publications are named after the two rivers in Oxford, "Isis" being the local name for the River Thames. Contents The cover of the Trinity 2012 issue History of The ISIS. Alumni Type Termly magazine at Oxford University References Owner(s) Oxford Student Sources Publications Limited External links Founded 1892 Language English History Headquarters 7 St Aldate's, Oxford The ISIS was founded by Mostyn Turtle Piggott, the first of the student editors, in April 1892. In his first editorial Circulation c. 4,500 he wrote: Website isismagazine.org.uk (http://www.isismag "We have no politics and fewer principles, and azine.org.uk/) should we last until the General Election we shall use our influence for neither side. We shall endeavour to be humorous without being ill-humoured, critical without being captious, militant without being malevolent, independent without being impertinent, and funny (as Mr Albert Chevalier says) without being vulgar." In its early days, The ISIS was owned and published by the Holywell Press. Students were given complete independence, as long as the paper they produced was profitable and within good taste.
