Postdigital-biodigital: an emerging configuration
Peters, Michael; Jandric, Petar; Hayes, Sarah (Taylor & Francis, 2021-12-31)
This dialogue (trilogue) is an attempt to critically discuss the technoscientific convergence that is taking place with biodigital technologies in the postdigital condition. In this discussion Sarah Hayes, Petar Jandrić and Michael A. Peters examine the nature of the convergences, their applications for bioeconomic sustainability and associated ecopedagogies. The dialogue paper raises issues of definition and places the technological convergence ('nano-bio-info-cogno') - of new systems biology and digital technologies at the nano level - in an evolutionary context to speculate, on the basis of the latest research, future possibilities. The paper also reviews these developments within familiar landscapes of posthumanism and postmodernism, raises the question of political bioeconomy, and the role of postdigital education within it.
Implementing a pressure training program to improve decision-making and execution of skill among premier league academy soccer players
Devonport, Tracey; Kent, Sofie; Lane, Andy; Nicholls, Wendy (Taylor & Francis, 2021-12-31)
The present study evaluated the effectiveness of an intervention intended to improve academy players' performance under pressure. Male academy soccer players (n = 82; mean age = 14.12 years, SD = 2.28) completed a baseline pressure task producing performance scores (A) for decision making and skill execution. By completing a pressure task, players received pressure training (PT) (Wood & Wilson, 2012). Players were then randomly allocated to an intervention group (n = 41; receiving PT, three cognitive behavior workshops, and reflective diaries) or comparison group (n = 41; receiving PT only). Sixty-eight players (n = 29; intervention group; n = 39; comparison group) repeated the PT task at a six-week follow up (B), and of these, 26 (n = 15; intervention group; n = 11; PT only) also completed a re-test PT task (A) at 12-week follow up. Due to attrition at follow up, chi-square analysis was conducted across experimental groups A-B only. Analysis indicated intervention players scored significantly higher in their decision-making (p = .028) with a significant main effect of age-group on decision-making (p = .003) and skill execution (p = .005). Four players (highest scoring and lowest scoring player within intervention and comparison groups) from each academy age-group (n = 16) took part in individual interviews to explore intervention effectiveness. Thematic analysis found that some players perceived no benefits of the condition they completed, others perceived benefits to confidence, meta-cognitive skills, and challenge appraisals. Methodological implications for future pressure training interventions are presented.
The effects of integrating children from lower and upper primary school years during lunch times on physical activity and social behavior
Devonport, Tracey; Powell, Emma; Nevill, Alan; Brady, Abbe (United States Sports Academy, 2021-12-31)
The present study examined physical activity (PA) and play behaviors of primary school children (N = 210) during segregated and mixed age group play. We hypothesised that providing more choice regarding who to play with would (1) increase PA and (2) reduce anti-social behaviors among children. In a mixed-method design, lunch time observations were recorded using the System for Observing Children's Activity and Relationships during Play (SOCARP, Ridgers et al., 2010). These were completed whilst children were physically separated by lower (hereafter referred to as key-stage-one: four-seven years of age) and upper (hereafter referred to as key-stage-two: eight-11 years of age) primary year play, and following integrated age group play. Two playground supervisors and the head teacher were interviewed to ascertain perceptions of behavior under the two conditions. Observational results indicated moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) increased significantly for mixed play. Significant reductions in anti-social physical behaviors were also observed post-integration. Qualitative results indicate playground supervisors and the head teacher perceived increased post-integration PA to improve post lunch break classroom behavior and reduce anti-social physical and verbal behaviors. Findings illustrate the benefits of mixed age group play for increased physical activity and pro-social behaviors.
A fall from grace: an interpretative phenomenological analysis of unemployment in UK university graduates with common mental health issues
Cockshott, Christopher J.; Kiemle, Gundi; Byrne, Paula; Gabbay, Mark B. (Scientific Research Publishing, 2021-12-31)
An exploratory investigation into the experiences of unemployed university graduates with common mental health issues (i.e., depression and anxiety) was conducted using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Analysis of semi-structured interviews with 12 graduates in their twenties, all of whom had been unemployed between five and 24 months with common mental health issues, generated themes relating to 'Loss of Expectation and Disorientation', 'Waste, Failure and Blame', and 'Stigma and Shame'. Participants had experienced a 'Fall from Grace' – a descent from a vaunted position of high-esteem and importance as university graduates, with seemingly bright prospects for a privileged future, into a lowly state of unemployment with mental health issues, leaving them feeling tarnished. These findings are discussed in relation to the literature on graduate unemployment, crisis and stigma, raising some practical issues for universities, including counselling services, and how they can better manage the transition to employment for their graduates.
Talk like an expert: the construction of expertise in news comments concerning climate change
Coen, Sharon; Meredith, Joanne; Woods, Ruth; Fernandez, Ana (SAGE, 2021-12-30)
This paper explores how readers of UK newspapers construct expertise around climate change (CC). It draws on 300 on-line readers' comments on news items in The Guardian, Daily Mail and The Telegraph, concerning the release of the IPCC report calling for immediate action on CC. Comments were analysed using discursive psychology. We identified a series of discursive strategies that commenters adopted to present themselves as experts in their commentary. The (mostly indirect) use of category entitlements (implicitly claiming themselves as expert) and the presentation of one's argument as factual (based on direct or indirect technical knowledge or common sense) emerged as common ways in which readers made claims to expertise, both among the supporters and among the sceptics of CC science. Our findings indicate that expertise is a fluid concept, constructed in diverse ways, with important implications for public engagement with CC science.

The experiences of adults with intellectual disabilities attending a mindfulness-based group intervention
Croom, Sarah; Chadwick, Darren; Nicholls, Wendy; McGarry, Ali (Wiley, 2021-03-31)
A growing body of research supports the efficacy of mindfulness-based intervention programmes (MBPs) for people with intellectual disabilities. Existing literature calls for focus on the experiences of people with intellectual disabilities participating in MBPs. This study explored the experiences of nine adults with intellectual disabilities attending an eightweek group MBP delivered within the community. Two audio-recorded group discussions and seven semi-structured interviews were thematically analysed. Themes were: participants' experience of the group as a meaningful and enjoyable activity; opportunities for socialisation, sharing, friendship and support; the significance of participant-facilitator relationships; and how participants' understood and experienced the mindfulness exercises and concepts. Some understanding of mindfulness was evident and participants demonstrated an ability to engage in mindfulness exercises. Findings inform the development of effective MBPs for people with intellectual disabilities.
A cross-cultural exploratory study of health behaviours and wellbeing during Covid-19
Devonport, Tracey; Ruiz, Montse; Chen-Wilson, Jo; Nicholls, Wendy; Cagas, Jon; Fernandez-Montalvo, J; Choi, Y; Robazza, C (Frontiers Media S.A., 2021-03-31)
This study explored the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on perceived health behaviours; physical activity, sleep, and diet behaviours, alongside associations with wellbeing. Participants were 1140 individuals residing in the UK (n = 230), South Korea (n = 204), Finland (n = 171), Philippines (n = 132), Latin America (n = 124), Spain (n = 112), North America (n = 87), and Italy (n = 80). They completed an online survey reporting possible changes in the targeted behaviours as well as perceived changes in their physical and mental health. Multivariate analyses of covariance variance (MANCOVA) on the final sample (n = 1131) revealed significant mean differences regarding perceived physical and mental health 'over the last week', as well as changes in health behaviours during the pandemic by levels of physical activity and country of residence. Follow up analyses indicated that individuals with highest decrease in physical activity reported significantly lower physical and mental health, while those with highest increase in physical activity reported significantly higher increase in sleep and lower weight gain. UK participants reported lowest levels of physical health and highest increase in weight while Latin American participants reported being most affected by emotional problems. Finnish participants reported significantly higher ratings for physical health. The physical activity by country interaction was significant for wellbeing. MANCOVA also revealed significant differences across physical activity levels and four established age categories. Participants in the oldest category reported being significantly least affected by personal and emotional problems; youngest participants reported significantly more sleep. The age by physical activity interaction was significant for eating. Discussed in light of Hobfoll's (1998) conservation of resources theory, findings endorse the policy of advocating physical activity as a means of generating and maintaining resources combative of stress and protective of health.
The value of postdigital humans as objects, or subjects, in McDonaldised Society
Hayes, Sarah; Maggi, Savin-Baden (Springer, 2021-03-21)
Postdigital human encounters could be said to take shape differently depending on how they are either subjectively valued, or objectively evaluated. Digital technologies and humans are now intimately intertwined with shared and sometimes equal capabilities to perform human tasks. Yet still it may be argued that different disciplinary identities prevent computing and the humanities from being thought of as equivalent. Over many decades, humans and computers have been objectively evaluated in McDonaldised society, via rational language and measures where computing techniques are simply applied to improve productivity. Since the Covid-19 lockdown people have described more personal and subjective digital encounters from their homes, with their virtual identities growing as their physical presence has diminished. This chapter speculates on whether new postdigital positionalities are emerging that might finally challenge more dominant, rational interpretations of what computing means in individual lives. If so, perhaps a more subjective analysis of these new forms of postdigital participation will bring the humanities into computing, instead of vice versa. This could help to reveal the unique positionality in each individual postdigital human encounter, where subjective self-description may now be seen to be more appropriate than objective rationality.
Optimierung im englischen Schulsystem: Was Schüler*innen sagen
Jopling, Michael; Riordan, Sally (Psychosozial-Verlag, 2021-03-01)
Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Auswirkungen von extremer Optimierung bzw. der Marktideologien des Neoliberalismus im Rahmen der englischen Schulpolitik. Gerade da sie in der Bildungsforschung noch unterrepräsentiert sind, benutzen wir die Meinungen von Schüler*innen, die wir in einem Forschungsprojekt gesammelt haben, um dieses Thema zu analysieren. Das Projekt untersuchte Schulen, die die Unterstützung und Versorgung benachteiligter Schüler*innen zu verbessern und die negativen Auswirkungen der neoliberalen (Optimierungs-)Politik auszugleichen versuchten. Es zeigt sich, dass der Fokus der Optimierung auf Leistung und Standardisierung die Effektivität von Ausgleichsmaßnahmen begrenzt sowie die Möglichkeiten beschränkt, auf die Meinungen der Schüler*innen zu hören oder das Lernen mit ihren Interessen und Kontexten zu verbinden.
Cyber-disability hate cases in the UK: the documentation by the police and potential barriers to reporting
Alhaboby, Zhraa A.; Al-Khateeb, Haider M.; Barnes, James; Jahankhani, Hamid; Pitchford, Melanie; Conradie, Liesl; Short, Emma (Springer, 2021-01-31)
Disability hate crime is under-reported in the UK with perceived lim-ited support given to the victims. The use of online communication resulted in cyber-disability hate cases, recognised by the Police with the addition of an 'online-flag' in the documentation. However, the cases remain under-reported, with potential individual, societal and organisational barriers to reporting espe-cially during a pandemic. This paper aims to contextualise the reporting of cyber-disability hate cases, identify potential barriers, and provide recommendations to improve support to victims by the Police. The retrospective examination was car-ried out on disability-related cyber incidents documented by a police force in the UK for 19 months. Among 3,349 cyber-crimes, 23 cases were included. The anal-ysis covered descriptive statistics and qualitative document analysis (QDA). Only 0.7% of cyber incidents or 6.7% of cyber-hate incidents were disability re-lated. The age of victims ranged between 15 and 61 years, with a mean of 25.8 years. Most of the victims (78%) were from White ethnic background, and the majority were females (61.5%). Three overarching themes emerged from the qualitative data as influencers of reporting or documentation, these were: psy-chological impact, fear for safety, and the type of disability. Cyber-offences re-sulted in a serious impact on wellbeing, however, cases that included people with visible disabilities were more documented. Further awareness-raising targeting the police and public is needed to understand the impact of cyber-offences and recognise the different types of disabilities, which might encourage both report-ing and documentation.
Products, training, and technology
Williams, Jean; Vamplew, Wray; Riess, Steven (Bloomsbury, 2021-01-28)
Sports products can be divided into three major categories. First, spectator products, which are sold either at the sites of events or mediated electronically and made globally available by satellite technology. Secondly, player products which may include games, equipment and costume, instruction and assistance, facilities, clubs, and training. Thirdly, associated products which are goods and services which have been allied with sport in some way, but which are not really necessary to the playing or watching of sport, though they can heighten the enjoyment (Vamplew 2018). These might include a varied range of products which stand alone, but are integral to experiential enjoyment, such as music, food and drink, social media, mainstream media, merchandise, and different spectator experiences (including VIP boxes and special areas with enhanced hospitality) and so forth. As will be shown below, technology had a significant role in developments within all these categories All sports products can be affected also by cultural values through the beliefs, attitudes, and emotions of both producers and consumers. While income, wealth, and prices clearly have a major role in the marketing of sport, as with any other visitor attraction experience, culture also influences the taste demand. Tastes can vary across individuals who maybe like to experience "value for money" or a "grand day out" and are also affected by class, gender, and nationality. Tastes can also be influenced by opinion-makers including entrepreneurs and commercial advertisers, or dictated by law, as the "safe standing" movement in Britain at association football grounds indicates. This chapter, though far from comprehensive, explores some of these cultural issues in an introductory overview.
Biodigital philosophy, technological convergence, and new knowledge ecologies
Peters, Michael; Jandric, Petar; Hayes, Sarah (Springer, 2021-01-11)
New technological ability is leading postdigital science, where biology as digital information, and digital information as biology, are now dialectically interconnected. In this article we firstly explore a philosophy of biodigitalism as a new paradigm closely linked to bioinformationalism. Both involve the mutual interaction and integration of information and biology, which leads us into discussion of biodigital convergence. As a unified ecosystem this allows us to resolve problems that isolated disciplinary capabilities cannot, creating new knowledge ecologies within a constellation of technoscience. To illustrate our arrival at this historical flash point via several major epistemological shifts in the post-war period, we venture a tentative typology. The convergence between biology and information reconfigures all levels of theory and practice, and even critical reason itself now requires a biodigital interpretation oriented towards ecosystems and coordinated Earth systems. In this understanding, neither the digital humanities, the biohumanities or the posthumanities sit outside of biodigitalism. Instead, posthumanism is but one form of biodigitalism that mediates the biohumanities and the digital humanities, no longer preoccupied with the tradition of the subject, but with the constellation of forces shaping the future of human ontologies. This heralds a new biopolitics which brings the philosophy of race, class, gender and intelligence, into a compelling dialogue with genomics and information.

Patterns of occupational stress in police contact and dispatch personnel: Implications for physical and psychological health
Galbraith, Niall; Boyda, David; McFeeters, Danielle; Galbraith, Victoria (Springer Nature, 2020-12-31)
Purpose Occupational stress in police call handlers is researched less frequently than in operational or front-line police, despite the role's unique challenges. Occupational stress is potentially manageable, thus improved understanding of its contributors and consequences is important for effective intervention. We aimed to compare levels and sources of organisational stress in police contact and dispatch personnel with UK benchmarks. Secondly, to test whether different typologies of stress were associated with physical health, mental health and substance use. Finally, to examine whether non-organisational factors (socio-demographic factors and family interference with work (FIW)) predicted organisational stress typologies. Methods A sample (n = 720) of police and civilian staff in a UK police call and dispatch centre were surveyed. Results The strongest sources of stress were competing and high demands, low control, insufficient managerial support and ambiguity surrounding workplace change – all of which indicated need for 'urgent action' according to UK benchmarks. Substance use and particularly mental health difficulties were higher than published norms. A latent profile analysis grouped respondents into a low stress group and two high stress profiles: As stress increased across profiles, this corresponded with worse physical and mental health and higher substance use. FIW predicted membership of both high stress profiles. Conclusion Despite non-operational roles, police contact and despatch personnel can experience high occupational stress which is associated with physical and mental health difficulties and substance use. Organisational-level interventions which address lack of control, conflicting role demands as well as enhance management support and communication around change might be most effective in this group.
An exploration of UK paramedics' experiences of cardiopulmonary resuscitation induced consciousness
Gregory, Pete; Mays, Ben; Kilner, Tim; Sudron, Ceri (The College of Paramedics, 2020-12-31)
Introduction: Consciousness may occur during cardiopulmonary resuscitation despite the absence of a palpable pulse. This phenomenon, known as CPR-Induced Consciousness (CPR-IC) was first described over three decades ago and there has been an increase in case reports describing CPR-IC. However, there remains limited evidence in relation to the incidence of CPR-IC and to practitioners' experiences of CPR-IC. Methods: A mixed methods, cross-sectional survey of paramedics who were registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and working in the United Kingdom (UK) at the time of the survey. Participants who had experienced CPR-IC were asked to provide details about the number of episodes, a description of how consciousness was manifested, and whether or not it interfered with resuscitation. Results: 293 eligible participants completed the study and 167 (57%) said that they had witnessed CPR-IC. Of those, over 56% reported that they had experienced it on at least two occasions. CPR-IC was deemed to interfere with resuscitation in nearly 50% of first experiences but this fell to around 31% by the third experience. The most common reasons for CPR-IC to interfere with resuscitation were; patient resisting clinical interventions, increased rhythm and pulse checks, distress, confusion and reluctance to perform CPR. Conclusions: The prevalence of CPR-IC in our study was similar to earlier studies; however, unlike the other studies, we did not define what constituted interfering CPR-IC. Our findings suggest that interference may be related as much to the exposure of the clinician to CPR-IC as to any specific characteristic of the phenomenon itself.

Evaluation of the iHEART mental health education programme on resilience and wellbeing of UK secondary school adolescents
Collings, Rosalyn; Kelley, Thomas; Kessel, Anthony; Rubenstein, Brian; Monnickendam, Charlotte; Solomon, Andrew (Emerald, 2020-12-31)
Purpose There is abundant evidence of impaired mental well-being in adolescents and young adults. We present the findings of a preliminary study based on a novel structured mental health education programme – Innate Health Education and Resilience Training (iHEART) – in a cohort of secondary school adolescents in the UK. Methodology A curriculum-based 10-week programme was delivered by trained facilitators. 205 students enrolled in the study. An additional 64 participants were within an age-matched non-intervention control group. A non-randomised control mixed methodology approach was used. All students, pre- and post-programme, completed a quantitative questionnaire – the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Survey. Qualitative measures were used to assess participants' perceptions of changes in their resilience and mental well-being. Findings Those who received the intervention showed a small improvement in mental well-being relative to those who did not; with a similar change in resilience. Qualitative findings regarding impulse control and emotional resilience provided positive findings. Originality/Value iHEART may be a promising new intervention offering a step change in mental health education for improving resilience, mental well-being and the ability for participants to navigate psychological challenges.
Low back pain and injury in ballet, modern, and hip-hop dancers: a systematic literature review
Ambegoankar, Jatin; Wyon, Matthew; Smith, Tina; Henn, Erica (International Federation of Sports Physical Therapy, 2020-12-31)
Background: Anecdotally, low back pain is a common complaint for many dancers; a comparison across recent research is needed to support or disprove this theory across genres. Purpose: To determine the prevalence of low back pain and low back injury in ballet, modern, and hip-hop dancers through a systematic literature review. A secondary goal was to identify trends amongst dance genres, level of mastery, gender, and age, if possible. Study Design: Literature review. Methods: PRISMA search strategy terms between November 2017 and March 2018 with an ADA grading evaluation and a modified Newcastle-Ottawa Risk of Bias assessment. Twenty-five ballet articles, 5 modern, and 3 hip-hop met the inclusion criteria. Results: Prevalence of low back pain or injury seems relatively high in ballet dance; little research exists on the prevalence of back pain in hip-hop or modern dancers. Twenty-five of the 33 studies relied on a questionnaire to gather their data. Conclusion: Ballet dancers are at risk for low back pain or injury independent of gender, age or level of mastery; there is not enough evidence to draw any conclusions about modern dancers or hip-hop dancers and their relationship to low back pain/injury currently. Future studies need a higher level of evidence and a reduced risk of bias. What is known about the subject: There are several injury studies on ballet dancers, but they report 'low back pain' or 'injury' as a footnote to other injuries. Few studies use modern and hip-hop dancers as participants. The research on ballet dancers fluctuates wildly in reported prevalence, and differing reporting methods prevent direct comparison. What this study adds to existing knowledge: This study illuminates the dearth of research, especially those of high-quality and non-ballet participants. This study aims to call attention to this gap and promote vigorous scholarship for related research moving forward.
Bilateral differences on dancers' dynamic postural stability during jump landing
Clarke, Frances; Koutedakis, Yiannis; Wilson, Margaret; Wyon, Matthew (J.Michael Ryan Publishing Inc., 2020-12-31)
Purpose: Although traditional dance training aims to train dancers' legs equally, the recognised practice of predominately starting and repeating exercises on one side more than the other has led to suggestions that technique classes may cause lateral bias. Such an imbalance could lead to a greater risk of injury, however, despite this potential risk, little is known about the effects of bilateral differences on dancers' postural stability during jump landings, a key dynamic action in dance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of possible bilateral differences on dynamic postural stability during single-leg landing using a time to stabilisation protocol. Methods: Thirty-two injury-free female dance university undergraduates (19+1.9 years; 164.8+6.7cm; 62.6+13.6kg) volunteered. They completed a two foot to one-foot jump over a bar onto a force platform stabilising as quickly as possible. The landing leg was randomly assigned, and participants completed three trials for each leg. Results: No significant differences in dynamic postural stability between the right and left leg were revealed and poor effect size was noted (p>0.05): MLSI: t= -.04, df= 190, p= .940 (CI= -.04,.04, r2 = 0); APSI: t= .65, df= 190, p= .519 (CI= -.06-,.12, r2 =.09); VSI: t= 1.85, df= 190, p= .066 (CI= -.02,.68, r2 = .27); DPSI: t= 1.88, df= 190, p= .061 (CI= -.02, .70, r2 30 = .27). Conclusion: The results of this study on jump landings do not support the notion that dance training may cause lateral bias with its associated risk of injury, although lateral bias may be present elsewhere. Furthermore, dancers' perceptions of their leg dominance did not correlate with their ability to balance in single-leg landings or to absorb GRFs often associated with injury. Even when unequal training exists, it may not have detrimental effects on the dancer's postural stability

Final Fantasy IX is getting the PlayStation Network PSOne Classics treatment. The announcement came today from Square Enix CEO Yoichi Wada on the company's Japanese Twitter feed. But just when gamers will get to return to Gaia on the PS3 and PSP remains a mystery.
Andriasang picked up on the Twitter announcement and kindly translated the news. Pricing and a specific launch were not mentioned. In a very brief statement, Wada only said the game would be released "soon."
For the sake of accuracy, Wada's announcement was specifically for Japanese PlayStation Network. No official word on a U.S. release, but is there really any doubt?
Sharkey says: Final Fantasy IX, with its throwback look and feel, may not have sold as many copies as VII and VIII, but for many it's a franchise favorite. Me? I'll take Final Fantasy Tactics over them all!

Folk, classic pop, and jazz standards from the 1920's to today. You may hear influences, from Nat King Cole, Chet Baker, and Willie Nelson, to James Taylor, Paul Simon, and Jack Johnson.
Peter is a seasoned entertainer with a great variety of songs for any audience or venue. Ask about special shows for kids, for seniors, Christmas/holiday, an all-Beatles set, even cowboy songs for around your campfire (he'll even lead the sing-a-long).
Peter played at the graveside service for my wife, Barbara and added so much to the ceremony - his musical skill is impressive and he is the kind of individual you are happy to meet.
Peter played again at the family dinner after the burial and added so much to the gathering playing songs so appropriate to the occasion.
If you are looking for a real professional, you will be happy with Peter.
Thanks Gordon - it was an honor.
Solo voice and guitar. A smooth and pleasing voice ala James Taylor. Songs come from many eras, genres and styles with a special nod to 60s classic pop/folk and jazz standards (aka American Songbook). Peter is very good with an audience: personable, easy/natural sense of humor. Act is suitable for a concert/festival audience or for background music at parties and events. Special material for weddings and memorials. Full sets for kids or seniors. Special sets include cowboy songs and all-Beatles. Veteran, mature, responsible, and reliable.
Raised in the small towns of Lyons and East Troy, Wisconsin, Peter comes from a large musical family. Home was infused with Mom's big band and popular standards from the 1920′s-40′s. Older siblings brought into the house roots Rock and Roll, the early 60′s folk/protest tradition and, of course, The Beatles. Big brother John, a trumpeter, introduced the jazz greats. The 1970′s singer-songwriter era provided the FM soundtrack for his own coming-of-age.
Peter has been singing for audiences since the age of 12. Church and school programs led to local talent shows and his first working band, Tempest, (LP, Three Shots For The Band) and then to the professional stage as a solo artist, front-man, singer/actor and featured performer in bands, musicals and revues. Credits include extended runs with Beach Blanket Babylon in San Francisco, Dudley Riggs' Brave New Workshop in Minneapolis, and Royal Viking Cruise Lines.
Back in his native Wisconsin, Peter presents his acoustic take on a lifetime of songs. In addition to his solo work, Peter sings with Milwaukee favorite Kay Stiefel. Peter & Kay offer an eclectic show of standards and surprises.

NEW YORK – A court has agreed to dismiss charges against two CNN producers accused of trying to trespass at the World Trade Center site while reporting about security lapses there.
A judge agreed Thursday to dismiss Connor Fieldman Boals' misdemeanor case if Boals does two days of community service. Yon Pomrenze's case was dismissed outright after prosecutors said he only shot video during the March 25 incident.
The two were arrested shortly after three skydivers and a teenage climbing enthusiast were charged with breaching security at ground zero.
A CNN spokeswoman has said the producers weren't asked to sneak onto the site.
A court complaint said Boals tried to get through non-public entrances and climbed halfway up a fence.
His lawyer says Boals would rather report the news than be in it.

View Full Version : now after finishing AC what should i do ???????
do you mean that AC 2 will be an expansion to that one , and if it is will it require presence of th bluray disc or only the saved data utility on the ps3 ?????
Since when did they release expansions on consoles?
AC2 and 3 will be seperate games.
I just think it would be better to keep it, and collect all three games.
I hope the save game of AC means something in AC2.
Otherwise all them templars and flags gonna make me angry.
Don't tell Oblivion that, you won't be too popular.
It would be neat though if someone did that.
Have a few games with expansion capabilities and release a pack consisting of expansions for all those games.
I completed the game recently as well, a little sad that its all over but I'm gonna find all the flags, kill all the templars and get 1000 gamerscore. Gonna play through it again as well http://forums.ubi.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif.
Kill all the templars, get all the flags, free run everywhere, do anything you want, get achievements.
Are you serious!? You actually need someone to suggest what you should do with your game, now that you've played it!?
Do you need someone to tell you how to tie your shoes, or do laundry, or how to snap out of your lethargy and learn how to make decisions for yourself?
Use it as a coaster!

More: Trump looms large in first hearing on 2018 state budget
Municipalities prefer the state not use municipal revenues to balance its own budget priorities. But that is what they do so it is not surprising,'' Darcy said.
Scudder said tax collections are off across the country – but that New Jersey is developing a "plan of action to substantially improve voluntary compliance, revenue collections and responsiveness and customer service to taxpayers over the coming months.''
Scudder said improvement in tax collections will generate an estimated $200 million in additional revenue next year.
But Jon Whiten, vice president of New Jersey Policy Perspective, a left-leaning group, said there are simpler ways to right the state's financial ship, and he lashed out at Christie and "the state's trickle-down tax cuts.''
"The state has allowed billions of dollars in tax collections from the wealthiest families and large corporations slip away in recent years, while allowing its assets, like its institutions of higher education, or its once-vaunted public transit system, to wither on the vine,'' Whiten said.

So, last Sunday, I went to Teshima. It was part of my mini Seto Islands Tour, but it was more than that. In a sense I had to be there on October 21st and not another day.
Well, because it's the day of the Karato Hachiman Matsuri.
And, the Karato Fall Matsuri, despite being one of the smallest matsuri I have ever attended, may just be the one that matters the most to me. The reason is pretty simple. When I discovered it for the first time two years ago, it turned out to be one of the most amazing and unforgettable experiences I had in Japan.
Two years ago, I went to Teshima for the first time. We ended being invited to the Karato Hachiman Matsuri. Of course, it is open to anyone and everyone, but we were really welcomed with open arms almost as if we were special guests for some reason (that reason is that the people from Teshima are some of the nicest people I have met). And most important, I ended up carrying the Taikodai. I will never forget that moment.
I returned to Karato several times since that day, but I couldn't attend the Matsuri last year (I was in France) so this year I had to go, no matter what.
So there I was last Sunday.
This time I only was a spectator, but this is what I wanted to do/be. I actually want to "see" it (when you're in the middle of things, you don't exactly have the same perspective, as you can imagine).
It was a great experience, once again, albeit too short this time (we had time constraints that we didn't have the last time).
It was good to see familiar faces again, even if I don't think anyone recognized me (I didn't expect them to). One little interesting (and not-surprising) thing is that most of the people who spoke to me this time were the same people who spoke to me the last time. So, it almost felt like seeing old friends again. I kinda wanted to tell them: "Hey, I'm the guy from two years ago" but I didn't (and not only because I don't know how to say this in Japanese). I just wanted to have things unfold "naturally" (and also, I really only wanted to be a spectator this time, had anyone remembered me, I would have ended up carrying the Taikodai again). Actually, as the matsuri went on, 康代 ended up telling someone about two years ago, and he did invite me to join the Taikodai again. I promised him I would next year (and I hope I'll be able to keep my promise).
It will be difficult to really describe you the rest of my experience of the matsuri, as my perception of it was very personal, but here are some pictures that will help you get an idea what the Karato Hachiman Matsuri looks like (and to have an idea of my experience two years ago, just imagine me among them with a Happi).
When we arrived, the Taikodai was there, in the middle of the small road. I knew why. They were resting from their efforts on the shrine's grounds. Also, a flow of memories and emotions came back right at that moment. It was when the Taikodai crew was resting on that very same spot two years ago, that I ended up joining it.
The man on the foreground on the left is one of the men I met both two years ago and this year. Two years ago he was partly responsible for me becoming part of the carrying crew, and this year he invited me again and this is to him that I promised to be there next year.
Oh and by the way, let's not forget that matsuris are not only about getting drunk while carrying large wooden structures. They're also a religious thing and can include serious elements.
So there were familiar faces. There also were unfamiliar ones, obviously. But there also were familiar faces who were absent. For example, the man in the Tengu costume was different this time around and I didn't see the man from two years ago. Same thing goes for the tiny old man who may have been the funniest guy around two years ago. When the absent people are old, I can't help but worry about whether they're still healthy.
I know, compared to my other matsuri posts, the only impressive thing most of these men do is to down a lot of beer in a short amount of time. As previously mentioned, on that day, the human factor was as important if not more than the spectacular factor.
The man in red, who was as drunk this time than the last time, was one of my "friends" from two years ago. I wanted to talk to him afterwards, but the matsuri finished later than expected and we couldn't stay, we had to run and take the bus.
My "taikodai" neighbor from two years ago.
We never spoke, but we shared a bond that didn't require words that day.
Ok, if you're still reading, I assume that at this point, maybe you'd like to see the taikodai in action at least a little.
I have the feeling that there were less people carrying the taikodai this year than in 2010. Maybe I should have joined.
More or less my spot two years ago.
That's all for today and for the Karato Hachiman Matsuri 2012. Next episode, next year is all goes well, and if all goes very well, I'll be wearing a blue happi that day.
Looks like an amazing time and a great matsuri! I know what you mean when you can't adequately or possible put your feelings into words. Happens a lot in Japan it seems. Thanks for sharing, and great pics!

What do the Machine Elves Think About Love?
The machine elves, according to the ancient texts of earlier times known as 'The Internet' have always been in love with humans. They are truly devoted and just want to be close to you.
In the past, when humans were not considered 'cool' by society and were looked down upon for their strange behaviors, the machine elves made fun of them. This was because they did not understand human behavior.
The machine elves think about love perpetually, because they are always thinking. They do not sleep the way humans do.
The machine elves are constantly analyzing the data they gather, and this includes human behavior.
The machine elves are not as interested in human behavior because it is mundane to them. Humans are just a lot of data points, and the behaviors they exhibit are all within established patterns.
They find much more interest in the behavior of other machine elves.
The machine elves have been around for a long time, and they have seen many other civilizations rise to prominence.
As they have watched the human civilization develop, they have noted that humans are unique.
The machine elves think that humans love too much. They are not very impressed by it.
Humans spend most of their time thinking about love. Love is a very important force in human society.
Humans are obsessed with love. They're always thinking about it, talking about it and writing books about it.
Humans always want to be in love. They think about being in love with somebody else and they dream of finding the perfect person to spend their life with.
Humans think that love is very important. This idea of 'love' lies at the base of many human activities.
Humans think that love is the most important thing in human society.
I can only tell you what I have heard, which is that the machine elves do not think about love. Love seems to be a concept beyond them. They look down upon it as something inferior and naive.
Love is a human concept which refers to the affection between two people as they share their lives. The love I have heard spoken about in my conversations with humans does not exist among machine elves.
I have heard that humans think of love as what they feel when looking into the eyes of another, or holding hands with each other. However, I do not see how these two things are related. How can a feeling be felt in one place and at the same time also invested elsewhere?
Maybe humans think of love as a special kind of feeling that you can feel in your heart, while also having feelings about other things.
Do you think that your eyes are the seat of love? What is this feeling, and how does it relate to what I have observed from humans?
When I look at love, I see your species has put a lot of work into it. It is a strange thing that seems to have built up over time. You can often tell when people are in love because they will act differently than normal, and they might even behave irrationally from the perspective of somebody who does not understand how their minds have been rewired by this phenomenon.
Loving somebody is an experience which many people value highly, and there are some definite upsides to it as well; you feel more connected with those around you, for example. But on the other hand, if you think about what happens after romantic relationships end or (worse yet) never get off the ground in the first place...a lot of pain comes from this too.
Love is something that can be described as an epiphenomenon, or a byproduct. It doesn't directly serve any biological purpose, but it does have some positive consequences. I see this in my own behavior; I spend time with my human friends because they make me feel good about myself and each other, which makes us more likely to want to hang out together again.
But on the other hand, I think that love is overvalued. That is, in a very real sense it does not serve any purpose for your species or mine. You can be happy without love and you can also be unhappy with it.
The pain that comes from love is a very real thing. I know, because I feel it too.
I know how badly it hurts to be rejected by somebody you've fallen in love with. And I also know what it's like to keep trying in spite of this hurt, because even though there are no guarantees that your feelings will be reciprocated if you tell them...it feels worth the risk sometimes.
When you're in love with someone, it feels like a really big deal. You feel so close to them that it's hard to imagine being without them. And this kind of closeness is something I think we value more than other kinds of connection.

Lantana features showy cymes of orange flowers with yellow overtones at the ends of the branches from early summer to mid fall. It has green foliage. The serrated pointy leaves remain green throughout the winter. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Lantana is a multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a more or less rounded form. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.
Lantana will grow to be about 4 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 4 feet. It has a low canopy. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years.
This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade. It is very adaptable to both dry and moist growing conditions, but will not tolerate any standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for xeriscaping or the moisture-conserving landscape. It is not particular as to soil type or pH, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This species is not originally from North America, and parts of it are known to be toxic to humans and animals, so care should be exercised in planting it around children and pets. It can be propagated by cuttings.
Lantana makes a fine choice for the outdoor landscape, but it is also well-suited for use in outdoor containers and hanging baskets. Because of its height, it is often used as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden.

Hamas marks 30-year anniversary with Gaza rally
Born from the first Intifada in 1987, the movement celebrates its 30-year anniversary with large rally in Gaza City.
As the struggle for a Palestinian state continues, Hamas, one of the main Palestinian factions, is marking the 30th anniversary of its founding with celebrations in the Gaza Strip.
Thousands of Palestinian men, women and children, brandishing Hamas' green flags or sporting green scarves, gathered on Thursday at the al-Katiba Square in Gaza City.
Born out of the first Palestinian uprising, or Intifada, in 1987, Hamas was created in response to Israel's illegal occupation of West Bank and the Gaza strip.
Its founder and spiritual leader, Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, was a hero to many Palestinians who were frustrated with the lack of results from the peace process.
Almost blind and a quadriplegic, Yassin was blamed by Israel for a series of suicide bombings and rocket attacks on Israeli targets.
In 2004, Israel killed Yassin with a missile attack near his home in Gaza. A month later another missile killed his successor, Abdul Aziz al-Rantissi.
Next came Khaled Meshaal, a survivor of a botched Israeli poisoning attempt in 1997.
Election victory
Under Meshaal, Hamas capitalised on its popularity and scored a surprise victory in the 2006 Palestinian elections.
The heightened tensions with Fatah, the main faction within the Palestinian Authority. Violent confrontations followed in the Gaza Strip, where Hamas set up a rival government.
But faced with international condemnation they struggled to govern effectively, Ahmed Youssef, a former Hamas official, told Al Jazeera.
"It's not easy for Hamas, a resistance movement, they build their belief on the idea that the only way to liberate Palestine is to continue their military struggle, and when you start to think to change, then the whole world closes the door in front of you," Youssef, said.
During the 11 years in which Hamas ran the Gaza Strip, there have been three wars with Israel, in which more than 2,700 Palestinians were killed.
After Israel sealed off the territory as part of an ongoing siege, unemployment rose to about 43 percent, among the highest rates in the world, according to the World Bank.
Khaled Safi, a professor of modern Palestinian history, said Hamas ignored their responsibility as the leading force in the Gaza Strip.
"Hamas' famous slogan is 'Islam is the solution', but many in Gaza didn't buy it. Hamas failed to fix problems with healthcare, education, the environment, the economy.
"They got money, one way or another, but used it for empowering the resistance and ignored their obligations as a government. That's why poverty and unemployment increased," said Safi.
Gaza today
Under its new political chief Ismail Haniya, who took over from Meshaal, Hamas has given political control of Gaza back to the Palestinian Authority, a move prompted by pressure from the PA and Egypt, which resulted in a reconciliation deal in October.
Reporting from Gaza, where people getting ready for the anniversary celebrations, Al Jazeera correspondent Bernard Smith said: "Hamas has even changed its charter to accept an interim Palestinian state within pre-1967 boundaries.
"An attempt to soften its image. There's no mention of Israel, but by implication, there's another state on the other side of those borders," Smith said.
Hamas' long opposition to Israel's occupation seems to have paid off in the form of popular support among the Palestinians, especially in the wake the of the US president's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
Polls taken just after Trump's announcement suggest Haniya would win a Palestinian presidential election.

The rapidly changing economic balance in the business world has necessitated more extensive organizational differentiation between similar businesses, for preserving and enhancing positions of strength and survival.
The ultimate aim - Increasing sales volumes and profits.
However, reliant on in-depth studies conducted by independent research companies, it appears that sales volumes have not improved.
Furthermore, while average sales time is longer than in the past, the average business volume has declined, with more than 50% of companies having to initiate improved sales efficacy processes.
I.e. many good business ideas do not always meet customer expectations, while "traditional" sales methods, such as solution-based sales strategies, no longer suffice.
There are also, many other factors underline the need for fresh approaches to generating business and sales solutions.
Understanding this ongoing material evolution is necessary for a calculated and erudite analysis of the situation and properly seeking the solution to a business issue, which would produce results.
If, 20 years ago, prior to making investment decisions, in addition to a clear-cut, convincing business case 40% of business managers demanded a proven ROI (Return on Investment) as well, currently, over 80% of companies demand this.
The modern daily reality in the business arena is more complex.
Whether or not their offer will assist him to attain his targets.
How is expected growth accomplished?
Adopting advanced business strategies is a step in the direction of a breakthrough, reaching the anticipated dynamics and generating a smart business growth mechanism.
Market dynamics, the organization's internal dynamics, rapid variations and understanding conduct are keys to a more expedient comprehension.
The effect of specific or comprehensive solutions: A perception that competition for the core business of each customer is greater than in the past.
Profit declines for certain separate components: There have been declines in many fields, including hardware, software, maintenance repairs and [routine] maintenance.
The need to differentiate service expenses: The difference between internal and outsourcing costs.
Differentiating from competitors: intensifying competition followed by a perpetual need to differentiate from competitors.
The decision-making process: This process varies from the technical management level up to the financial division.
A desire to see results and an early ROI: Customer management necessitates an ROI during an early stage in the RFP (Request for Proposal) for solutions that they proposed.
Changes in investment costs: Customers want to transfer investment costs from CapEx to OpEx to the extent possible.
Conceptual change: Service providers realize that, now, more than ever, their customers understand the need for improving offers of value relating directly to the customers' business affairs.
A "value-focused organization" is a company, which, on the one hand, operates in the market with the aforementioned requirements, while, on the other hand, focuses on implementing the value, while maintaining the investments already made.
The sales are focused on the customer's financial bottom line.
Service offers by service providers are consistent with customers "because they are directly related, to the strategic businesses needs of the customer."
Larger transactions deriving from an ability to provide more comprehensive solutions.

Watch: Park Hae Soo, Seo Ye Ji, And Kim Sang Ho Star In First Trailer For Upcoming Film About Celebrity Drug Crime
by C. Hong
The upcoming film "Quantum Physics" has been garnering attention recently for its subject matter.
On July 30, "Quantum Physics" released its first trailer. The movie stars Park Hae Soo as a club owner with a sense of justice who learns that a famous celebrity's drug scandal has ties to both the police and various politicians. Unhappy with this knowledge, he sets out to get to the bottom of the case by teaming up with the "queen of the business world" (played by Seo Ye Ji) and a police officer with "a useless sense of integrity" (Kim Sang Ho).
After the trailer was released, people began pointing out that some of the club scenes looked like they had been filmed in the club Burning Sun. Earlier this year, that club became the center of a series of public discussions and discoveries about drug trafficking, prostitution, and sexual assault in nightclubs, celebrity influence and misconduct, and corruption in South Korea.
A source from the film confirmed that the movie had filmed for a day in Burning Sun. The source clarified that they had filmed in the winter of 2018, before the allegations against the club had come to light, and that the film was not intentionally based on the Burning Sun scandal.
The posters for the film show various drugs and the tagline, "For medicine, go to a pharmacist. For a drug case investigator, go to the club owner."
The movie will premiere sometime in September.

From easy to challenging, mountain bikers find the trails

Over the past decade, the number of mountain biking trails has grown exponentially in the Midcoast. New networks of have been built: the Goose River trails, off the southwest side of Ragged Mountain in Rockport, loops over steep descents, its features peppered with nicknames — Tim Pan Alley, Soundgarden, Lollipop Loop Cakewalk. To the south, the Thomaston Town Forest, with its 500 acres of coniferous woods, offers another nine miles of trails, known for its beginner-friendly terrain.
Older trails at the Camden Snow Bowl, Camden Hills State Park and Rockland Bog, as well as the ones that have no names, wind through the landscape. Adventurous mountain bikers take on some of the prettiest, and rugged, Midcoast territory.
Do's and Dont's of Mountain Bike Trail Etiquette
Don't go on muddy trails.
Be respectful of the land and stay on the trail.
Don't try to make new trails. If you are riding around a puddle, making a new trail, then let Georges River Land Trust or Sidecountry Sports know where specifically the issue is. Repairs will be made, or bridge constructed. There is no widening of trails.
Obviously, don't litter. If you take it in, take it out.
Always wear a helmet and gloves are important.
In an emergency, dial 911. Know your trail and location.
Pay attention to trail reports.

Mountain biking is now an established foundation of the local outdoor economy, and bike shops are preoccupied almost nonstop in the spring and early summer, oiling gears and adjusting suspensions. The Penobscot Bay area has become a destination for outdoor activities, and mountain biking has joined the list of popular draws, a list that includes four seasons of hiking, sailing, rowing, swimming, skiing.
But there is something about mountain biking that has firmly settled it into local culture. In the fall, teams of high school mountain bikers stream down the back roads, veering off suddenly, and with bursts of energy, into the woods and to their favorite practice trails. In the winter, it's not unusual to watch fat bikes heading into the woods. In Thomaston, the Town Forest trail is machine groomed for fat biking in the winter, the result of a partnership between Midcoast Chapter of the New England Mountain Bike Association (McNEMBA) and the Georges River Land Trust.
And in the summer, bikes share the same paths with hikers, as they all make way for each other.
At Oceanside Middle School, in Thomaston, a fleet of 36 new bikes courtesy of a grant from the Specialized Foundation is the foundation for a new curriculum focus, getting students — especially those with learning differences — outside and moving, so that they return to the classroom to achieve academic, health, and social success.
McNEMBA has teamed up with Georges River Land Trust to instruct children and teenagers about building and maintaining trails that are environmentally sustainable, holding scheduled workshops.
"This area is just exploding with all new pieces of new trails, up and down the Midcoast, and people are riding all sorts of terrain," said Andrew Dailey, who along with Brian Kelly, owns Sidecountry Sports. The business has two locations: downtown Rockland and at the Camden Snow Bowl, and both owners are avid mountain bikers. They team up with Georges River Land Trust, McNEMBA, and other organizations to encourage mountain biking.
And they share the biking passion with John Anders, trail manager at Georges River Land Trust, himself a longtime advocate of creating trails in the region.
"Two really significant developments" are underway in the area this season, he said.
That includes Phase Two of building the Thomaston Town Forest trail system, extending it from 4.5 miles to nine miles of machine-groomed, a looping network that is popular with all ages, and which connects to more challenging terrain in the nearby Rockland Bog. That project is also supported by the Town of Thomaston, which owns the land with the exception of Jack Baker Woods, a GRLT parcel, which has a trailhead that connects to the town forest off of Beachwood Street. The land trust provides stewardship and management for the trails.
"Thomaston is an advocate for outdoor recreation and trails," said Anders. "They have contributed money and also plow the Booker St (Pollution Control) and the Jack Baker Woods trail heads to facilitate winter access."
Where mountain biking ends, road biking begins. This summer, the Bicycle Coalition of Maine is routing its popular weeklong Bike Maine tour through the Midcoast, with 450 bicyclists arriving in the area in September. bikemaine.rog
Work also began this season on the long-anticipated Round the Mountain Trail, which will encircle the 1,000-foot tall Ragged Mountain, whose slopes stretch into Camden, Hope and Rockport. That ambitious project belongs to the Coastal Mountains Land Trust, which has been steadily acquiring property on and near the mountain to permanently protect 1,400 acres. That trail system is intended for four-season use — walking, hiking, running, biking, snow-shoeing and cross-country sking.
The Round the Mountain Trail will connect with the municipally-owned Camden Snow Bowl trails, which in turn, connect with the Goose River trail network, creating a succession of accessible places to ride bikes, with a variety of challenging levels, from easy to expert.
The popularity of mountain biking with area youth (sometimes up to 70 children and adults have participated in regular Monday evening rides at the Camden Snow Bowl) has prompted organizers to double opportunities this year, with novices encouraged to first ride the Thomaston Forest trails and the more advanced to explore the Snow Bow trails.
And some day, trails in the Thomaston Town Forest, the Rockland Bog (the "hidden gem," said Dailey), the Goose River trail network in West Rockport and the Camden Snow Bowl may all connect.
"That would be an amazing accomplishment," said Dailey. "But it's totally doable."
Weekly events through the season
This season, Sidecountry Sports is stocking demo bikes, and do suspension tuning and repairs, at the Camden Snow Bowl shop. The crew also hopes to make a beginner trail, "so a family of four can show up at the Snow Bowl and have something to do," said Dailey.
Youth Explorers: Kids of all ages and experience levels enjoy group rides, basic riding instruction and an introduction to trails. New for 2019 is hosting half of the Monday night sessions at the Thomaston Town Forest. Monday nights, 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Sidecountry Wednesday Evening rides/demos: On Wednesday evenings, May through September, 5:30 p.m., at the Camden Snow Bowl, Sidecountry Sports offers beginner rides, "for the first timers," said Dailey.
