Academy

So there you go.

Another Academy product scored today.

So, you know, there you go.

Yeah, I mean, he's obviously a fantastic prospect if he's already training with the first team at 15 years old.

They're down to fifth at the moment.

And it's a rolling decade or two decades, I can't remember now, of how many minutes from homegrown players both within the home club and within the big five leagues, right? And there's two ways of looking at it.

How successful are you at taking Academy products and getting them into the first team? And something like 26% of minutes, I think it's over the last two decades, this report, over the last two decades were from Academy products at United, right? And then how many players get into the big five leagues? And so how good are you at developing players for football generally and getting a career for these kids? And United were ranked like fifth in the table or something like that, or fourth maybe.

I think it was behind Real Madrid and Barcelona and Lyon.

Everyone wants to talk to the genius who has discovered billions and billions of lives, and they always want to observe, understand, discover.

And the Royal Society calls him an effective member of the Academy, although Anthony has never even put a tooth in England.

And it is precisely thanks to him that September 17 is the International Day of Microorganism, because the letter of this man, which reports this exact date, is not only the moment in which the world discovers the bacteria giving life to microbiology, but also the exact moment in which science had to open up to a new path, made of parietal revision, of cross-confirmation through experiments, and above all of the transparent sharing of data.

Thanks to Anthony, his curiosity and obsession with oral hygiene.

And...

Jen, tell me a little bit about what some of these tablets describe with this ancient world, not from academia's lens, but what do some of them talk about?

Yeah, I mean, I think of, here's a really good one that's come out over the course of the last couple of years.

The Hymn of Ashnuna, the very first poet was a woman, a priestess who was, you know, singing laments and telling stories about, you know, her patron god.

He's focusing on very specific origin tablets, ancient city tablets, tablets like the Atrahasis, the Epic of Gilgamesh, Eridu Genesis, the Sumerian King List.

These are the dirty...

The dirty dozen, you could call it that academia doesn't want to, there's more, I'm just giving an example, that academia doesn't want to talk about, right? The dirty dozen, they don't, they're like, they almost like cover their ears if you even bring them up.

Like, they don't even want to hear it, right? Because what happens is, and we're going to go deep, is that these create problems.

Orderlies of rooms.

The particular attention of orderlies is directed to the paragraphs of the regulations for the U.S. Military Academy specifying their duties.

Cadets.

The hour of recitation of each cadet will be posted on the back of the door of his room.

To get such permission, I must enter their office cleanly and neatly dressed, and taking my place in the center of the room, must salute, report my entrance, make known my wants, salute again, and report my departure.

At the instant I heard the sound of a drum, I must turn out at a run and take my place in the ranks, somewhat after this fashion.

Candidate Flipper, United States Military Academy, reports his entrance into this office, sir.

Well, sir, what do you want in this office? I desire permission, sir, to walk on public lands till retreat.

So Sarah is a business coach, a wealth consciousness expert.

And someone who I have a very close personal history with because I was actually a member of her Abundance Academy, which we'll talk about during the session today.

And one of the reasons I wanted to bring her on to this podcast is the conversation that it's not really about how you make money.

It's all about the relationship underneath money.

Damn Sarah.

I just love in this.

And I, what a lovely, just for my audience, like this is what it was like to work with Sarah and the abundance Academy, like the analogies and the way she breaks shit down so easily.

And I'm like, you can, you can all see why I love her.

People generally went to Ranelagh between nine and ten o'clock.

I was present when Sir Joshua Reynolds delivered his last lecture at the Royal Academy.

On entering the room, I found that a semicircle of chairs immediately in front of the pulpit was reserved for persons of distinction, being labelled Mr. Burke, Mr. Boswell, etc., etc., and I, with other young men, was forced to station myself a good way off.

During the lecture, a great crash was heard, and the company, fearing that the building was about to come down, rushed towards the door.

Presently, however, it appeared that there was no cause for alarm, and they endeavoured to resume their places, but in consequence of the confusion, the reserved seats were now occupied by those who could first get into them, and I, pressing forward, secured one of them.

Sir Joshua concluded the lecture by saying with great emotion, "And I should desire that the last words which I should pronounce in this academy and from this place might be the name of Michelangelo." As he descended from the rostrum, Burke went up to him, took his hand, and said, "The angel ended, and in Adam's ears so charming lived his voice that he a while thought him still speaking, still stood fixed to hear." Paradise Lost.

What a quantity of snuff Sir Joshua took! I once saw him at an Academy dinner when his waistcoat was absolutely powdered with it.

Sir Joshua was always thinking of his art.

And lots of, you know, your sort of a classic sort of market panels, people talking about distribution.

The Academy was there talking about the rule change to the international feature category.

And they also have an immersive hub downstairs where you could test out all kinds of eyewear and, you know, various sort of experiences like that.

And I will say that, you know, it being home turf for Canada, perhaps not surprisingly, the Canada umbrella stand was always heaving in the convention.

And even if it doesn't win the audience award, as opposed to being human, I think people are going to talk about like, Rocky's a really fun, I Play Rocky's a really fun experience.

I think if we're just talking about those two films as Toronto premieres, I think I Play Rocky has a better chance of being nominated for Best Picture because there's 10 slots for a Best Picture nomination.

I think I Play Rocky will play very, very well for Academy voters, partly because it's about people making a movie.

And you don't bet against that.

They knew it was not possible.

And that, in my mind, creates one of the strangest things, which particularly because of the tone of the American Academy, scholars, particularly in the Academy, don't like to, writers in the Academy don't like to acknowledge.

The truth is, that's what lets it succeed.

And the American Revolution is by far the most successful revolution in global history.

We have to back him.

He's clearly done a good job in Charlton's Academy.

Did he go to Cambridge or Mansfield? I'm not too sure.

And then he's obviously come here.
