Life Sports Performance
Bringing Sport to Life
Blaine McKenna
The founder of Life Sports Performance (LSP), Blaine McKenna, has witnessed the approach of different coaches, clubs and governing bodies in 11 countries, across five continents. During this time he noticed a number of gaps in provision that aren't currently being provided for in sports coaching practice worldwide. This led to the development of LSP which can be broken into three key areas of Life Skills, Sports Coaching, and Performance Programmes.
LSP aims to:
Inspire & upskill children, enabling them to live their passion everyday
Provide a range of education & sessions to coaches & players enabling them to get better faster
Turn athletes' negative thoughts into positive ones that simplify & improve performance
Life Skills Programmes & Education
It is well established that the majority of children playing sport will not progress into the professional game. Knowing that, we need to find ways to make sports sessions meaningful for those who become professional, those who play for fun and those who don't play at all further down the line. This can be achieved by including life skills in our sports programmes which will give children and adults the skill set needed to excel in sport and all other areas of life. It can help improve grades, career prospects, develop positive relationships, have a more positive mindset and help professional players transfer their skills to other careers.
Blaine developed a life skills programme which 121 coaches subscribed to around the world. He has implemented life skills curriculums at a professional academy and has developed a 40-week programme which has enabled players to succeed on and off the pitch. Blaine has also developed a range of other educational resources, many of which he has been able to share during the life skills workshops he has delivered to players, PE students and coaches. He keeps up to date with the research, having started a PhD in the area, which he hopes to return to in the coming years.
LSP Life skills offers:
Individually tailored life skills programmes for all ages
Life skills curriculums with pitch-based sessions to embed it at your club
Coach & player education workshops on life skills
sports Coaching & Education
LSP's coaching philosophy puts individuals at the centre of the process with the aim of developing awareness, creativity and decision making in a positive sporting environment. A constraints led approach is used for player development with games being as realistic as possible to ensure optimal transfer to the performance environment. This approach was developed through studying athlete development, motivation and skill acquisition during Blaine's MSc degree. It has been implemented and fine-tuned through working with different cultures and footballing levels around the world. The result of this work has seen players progress from youth football into the senior game with a number earning deals at professional clubs.
Blaine brings a range of experience having coached from grassroots to professional academy level and has been flown in to academies in various countries to deliver coaching sessions and coach education. He is the former Academy Director of a topflight professional Thai League club, where he was responsible for all recruitment and academy operations. Blaine has a following of over 58,000 coaches and sports professionals which has enabled him to assist clubs in the recruitment of players and coaches. He has recruited over 100 players for clubs in Asia including 15 girls in Kuwait when there were none before and 71 players after holding Ubon UMT United's first ever open trials, which 548 players attended. Other highlights at the club include:
Implementing a philosophy throughout the academy and creating four new teams to provide a clear pathway, which resulted in players breaking into the first-team
Developing a scholarship programme which encouraged academic achievement, road safety and saw the academy's first residential programme, with players living and going to school together
Delivering the club's first community projects including the schools programme which benefitted over 300 local kids.
Bringing a national coaching course to Ubon Ratchathani for the first time, delivering the club's first internal coach education programme and holding workshops in a local university which benefitted over 100 coaches across the region
LSP Sports Coaching offers:
Workshops based on a range of coaching topics for players, students & coaches of any sport
Football coaching visits to your club
Assist your club in the recruitment of coaches & players
performance progammes & workshops
Despite the evidence highlighting it's value, Blaine's MSc research showed sport psychology is still massively undervalued at all levels of football. This is owing to a lack of knowledge and exposure to it which can seriously impact upon a player's career. His research provided a range of ideas to overcome the barriers which LSP has successfully put into practice. This has been achieved by developing individually tailored performance programmes for a range of professional and elite athletes, both at youth and senior level, and developing pitch-based sessions which embed sport psychology into the team's principles of play.
Blaine has also delivered a number of workshops on performance techniques and sport psychology to players, PE students, fully qualified PE teachers and coaches from various sports. His deep understanding of the performance process has enabled him to simplify and harness the thoughts of athletes, enabling them to take their performance to the next level. The result of this work has seen a professional footballer go from scoring one goal in six games to four in the next six with two assists. This led to a move to a bigger club and a recall to the national team. A gymnast was also able to go from being unable to perform under pressure to winning a medal at a national competition. The programmes are not solely responsibly for the upturns in performance but the athletes noted the positive impact they had.
LSP Performance offers:
Individually tailored performance programmes developed one-to-one online
Sports Psychology curriculums, techniques for creating an optimal team environment & pitch-based sport psychology sessions
Workshops for coaches & players on embedding sport psychology & performance techniques into sessions

Nottingham Forest Under 23s drew 1-1 at Crewe Alexandra as a number of first-team players were in action.
Nottingham Forest Under 23s draw 1-1 at Crewe Alexandra this afternoon as a number of first-team players were in action.
Gary Brazil took a strong side to Cheshire as Stephen Henderson, Matt Mills, Tyler Walker, Matty Cash, Apostolos Vellios, Zach Clough and Mustapha Carayol were all named in the starting line-up.
Despite a bright start from Forest it was the home side who took a 10th-minute lead as Lewis Reilly fired the ball beyond Henderson at the near post.
The Reds responded well and levelled the contest soon after. Carayol's strong run into the penalty area caused problems for the Crewe defence and although goalkeeper Ben Garratt saved the winger's initial shot, the ball rebounded off a defender and into the net.
Forest pressed hard for a winning goal as youngsters Jayden Richardson and Arvin Appiah were introduced into the fray but they were unable to find it as Crewe clung on to a point.

A: Для решения, нужно добавить функцию, которая бы эмулировала ход компьютера, например stepComp и вызывать ее после проверки хода игрока:
tds[i].addEventListener('click', function() {
  if (this.innerHTML == '') {
    this.innerHTML = 'X';
    check();
    stepComp(tds);
  }
})

В данном примере функция принимает список ячеек, чтобы сделать ход.
Сама функция может выглядеть следующим образом:
function stepComp(tds) {
  for (var i = 0; i < tds.length; i++) {
    if (tds[i].innerHTML == '') {
      tds[i].innerHTML = 'O';
      check();
      break;
    }
  }
}

То есть, ищет первую свободную ячейку, ставит в нее 'O' и запускает проверку. Алгоритм выбора ячейки может меняться, но суть остается та же.
Пример в сборе: (не корректно работает метод проверки, так как проверяет просто отсутствие пустых ячеек, а не наличие конкретных символов)

var pos = [
  [
    [0, 0],
    [0, 1],
    [0, 2]
  ], //1 строка

  ], //2 столбец
  [
    [0, 2],
    [1, 2],
    [2, 2]
  ], //3 столбец
];

function check() {
  var table = document.getElementById("myTable");
  var flag;

  for (var i = 0; i < pos.length; i++) {
    var win = true;
    for (var k = 0; k < pos[i].length; k++) {
      if (table.rows[pos[i][k][0]].cells[pos[i][k][1]].innerHTML !== 'X' && table.rows[pos[i][k][0]].cells[pos[i][k][1]].innerHTML !== 'O')
        win = false;
    }

    if (win) {
      flag = true;
      break;
    }
  }

  if (flag) {
    console.log("победа");
  }
}

var tds = document.getElementsByTagName('td');
for (var i = 0; i < tds.length; i++) {
  tds[i].addEventListener('click', function() {
    if (this.innerHTML == '') {
      this.innerHTML = 'X';
      check();
      stepComp(tds);
    }
  })
}

function stepComp(tds) {
  for (var i = 0; i < tds.length; i++) {

Calls for papers – Conferences taking place in March 2019
Shapes of Futures: Third interdisciplinary conference
University of Bielsko-Biała, Poland, 1-2 March 2019
Deadline for proposlas: 10 January 2019
Organised by the Institute of Modern Languages
What is realised in my history is not the past definite of what was, since it is no more, or even the present perfect of what has been in what I am, but the future anterior of what I shall have been for what I am in the process of becoming.
The past, like the future, is indefinite and exists only as a spectrum of possibilities.
Human spirit is the ability to face the uncertainty of the future with curiosity and optimism. It is the belief that problems can be solved, differences resolved. It is a type of confidence. And it is fragile.
Confirmed keynote speakers: Ziauddin Sardar and Rafał Matyja
For the nineteenth-century man, the future was "a simple combination of already known things" that could be calculated on the basis of given probabilities. For the twentieth-century man, the concept of the future was entirely different. As Paul Valery observes, writing about his epoch:
[T]he rules of the game are changed at every throw. No calculation of probabilities is possible. … Why? Because the … modern world is assuming the shape of man's mind. […] If … we imprint the form of our mind on the human world, the world becomes all the more unforeseeable and assumes the mind's [own] disorder.
But, perhaps, disorder is not the last word that humanity has to say about its understanding of the future. Liquid modernity has melted into postmodernity and, after almost two decades of the twenty-first century have passed, one may ask about the contemporary visions and conceptions of the future. Is the future, as Hawkins asserts categorically just "a spectrum of possibilities"? Or, maybe, in Derrida's words, "the ineluctable world of the future […] proclaims itself at present, beyond the closure of knowledge." Do we follow Lacan's view of the future as an inescapable dimension of our ongoing efforts to maintain any sort of coherent subjectivity? Are there multiple futures ahead of us, as scholars of the science-fiction literature sometimes suggest? Or is there a future that sociological statistics, economical planning or causal layered analysis can anticipate?
Whatever perspective one would like to embrace – despite Hawkins' rather categorical assertions – the future is very much present today in a number of ways. It is precisely this openness to conceptualisations and indefiniteness of the future, combined with its inevitability, that seems to have made it an ever-provoking object of research. Apart from the thriving future studies, it is contemporary sociology's investigation into the development of the cultural trends which subsequent generations embrace, history's projection of bygone patterns on the present to model what might happen tomorrow, as well as literary studies' increased fascination with the visions of the future(s) surfacing both in works of fiction and non-fiction, that make it a theme expressly worth pursuing. Our conference addresses the need for such research. Therefore, we cordially invite sociologists, psychologists, philologists, historians, and scholars of other academic fields to discuss various aspects and roles of the future(s) in contemporary discourses. Among the themes that might be discussed in twenty-minute long presentations are the following (the list is by no means exhaustive):
conceptualisations/images of the future and their dynamics
the futurists and future(s) studies
functions of the future
the future shaping processes (trendsetting, simulation, modelling, forecasting, planning)
the politics of time / the temporality of politics
the relationships between the present, the past and the future (Zeitgeist and the future, the future as an active aspect of the present, the future borrowed from the past)
the future and the narrative (narratives and metaphors of the future, science and speculative fiction as catalysts in future studies, future history)
the future as a promise, the future as a threat (dystopia, utopia and anti-utopia)
indefinite and uncertain versus definite and certain futures
normative, preferred, alternative futures
We welcome scholars from various academic fields to submit their proposals by 10 January 2019. Abstracts of 300 words in English should be sent to shapesoffutures@gmail.com. Please include your name, email address, academic affiliation and a short biography.
Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by 15 January 2019.
The conference fee is 280 PLN (70 euro), and 230 PLN (60 euro) for students. The fee includes lunch, coffee breaks and conference materials.
A selection of papers will be published. Details of publication will be announced during the conference.

Mirror, Mirror: Perceptions, Deceptions, and Reflections in Time
New extended deadline for proposals: 15 January 2019
Since ancient times, mirrors have been viewed as place where the dual worlds of soul and self merge. In ancient Mexico, polished obsidian mirrors were viewed as magical portals through which sorcerers traveled to reach the world of the gods. The fictitious mirror of 18th-century author, Oliver Goldsmith, revealed the inner workings of the mind rather than the surface. In the 21st century, our reflections may obscure rather than uncover the truths we once searched for. Through technology, we can recreate ourselves and the world around us. We see our altered, perfected reflections in our photos, on our web cams, and in advertising. Images may come to show not necessarily our realities, but visions of the world that we prefer. Indeed, altered visions and the falsehoods they purvey may serve as instruments for political gain, for the accumulation of personal wealth, and as a means of repression. This conference explores how our virtual concepts and reconstructed worlds impact humanity, the arts, and nature in the age of rising anthropocentrism.
llusion and the ancient world-mirrors and other artifacts and their elite metaphysical uses
Specific cultural beliefs related to mirrors, truth, soul, and self
Physical science: knowledge and beliefs relating to mirrors both ancient and modern
Studies of writers, artists, and others who emphasize reality and illusion in their creative works (Lewis Carrol, Oliver Goldsmith, and others)
Trompe l'oeil (Early and Modern Visual Art)
Truth, illusion, and delusion in the age of the Internet–You Tube and other Media
The reinvented self: modern or historical
The dangers of deception (social and environmental concerns)
Specific perspectives on truth and illusion as symbolized or addressed in the visual arts, creative writing, new historical narratives, architecture, and other media
How altered vision can have far reaching impacts on culture, society, and the environment
Paper proposals up to 250 words and a brief biographical note should be sent by 15 January 2019 (new extended deadline) to: mirror@lcir.co.uk. Please download paper proposal form from the official website: http://mirror.lcir.co.uk

Health and Healing in Culture and Literature: International Başkent Conference
Başkent University, Ankara, Turkey, 13-15 March 2019
Deadline for proposals: 1 November 2018
The Department of American Culture and Literature at Başkent University is pleased to host the forthcoming international conference on "Health and Healing in Culture and Literature," to be held between 13 and 15 March 2019 at the Bağlıca Campus as part of the festivities of the 25th anniversary of the foundation of Başkent University. Both topically and thematically, health and healing have been a recurrent concern in literary writings and cultural representations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson aphoristically stressed, "the first wealth is health." He theorized that a perfect balance of one's physical and spiritual selves was the essence of good health, noting that the love of nature had a healing and moderating effect: "The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other." Similarly, Henry David Thoreau reiterated Emerson's idea in a humorous and instructive way: "What is the pill which will keep us well, serene, contented? Not my or thy great-grandfather's, but our great-grandmother Nature's universal, vegetable, botanic medicines, by which she has kept herself young always." Kurt Vonnegut saw the essence of good health in one's love of humanity and one's allegiance to human values when he stated: "We are healthy only to the extent that our ideas are humane."
As scholars in the humanities, we also play a role in addressing the maladies of the inner person. Through aesthetic experience, through the practice of narrative, poetic expression and artistic performance, we work toward the disclosure and examination of humane ideas. For example, Susana Onega and Jean-Michel Ganteau's edited collection of essays, The Wounded Hero in Contemporary Fiction: A Paradoxical Quest (2018), addresses wounded characters in contemporary literary works and their ways of coping with their health problems. Also, studies in popular culture such as Medicine's Moving Picture: Medicine, Health, and Bodies in American Film and Television (2007) and Medical Visions: Producing the Patient through Film, Television, and Imagining Technologies (2013) offer rich representations of health, medicine, and the human body in American film and TV. Studies of the media, advertising and work within the social sciences can fortify and deepen our examination of these discourses on health. Such viewpoints may open a new horizon for the investigation of the ways health and healing are conceived in contemporary ylife. Our upcoming conference offers a forum for the consideration of healing practices from various cultural traditions as they are depicted in literary and cultural products, and on the broader discourses governing health and healing. We hope that intercultural, comparative and trans-disciplinary approaches will open important new aspects to our inquiry.
As such, we invite submissions on a broad range of themes and sub-topics, including but not limited to:
Literature as therapy, literature as pharmakon, the arts as a means of healing
Creative writing by healers and medical practitioners
Health in popular culture, film studies, media studies, visual arts, and music
Holistic healing, body-mind-spirit, healing rituals, faith healing, root doctors, conjure women, medicine men and shamans, spiritual healing, yoga, meditation, seclusion
Healing the body politic: treating conditions caused by migration, environmental stressors, terrorism, radicalism, war, political oppression, abuse, public health and politics, coping mechanisms
Conceptions of the body and its healing capacity, allegory of human anatomy, body image: bulimia, anorexia, obesity, dysmorphophobia
Memoirs of illness and restoration
Healing power of nature, healing in nature
Self-help and self-healing
Communal healing
Sacred nature of mother- sister- daughterhood
Health and gender: the construction of femininity, masculinity
Eating and healing, food as medicine, nutrition, back to the land, homegrown, organic agriculture movements
Post-crisis rehabilitation through story-telling, healing physical trauma, healing spiritual trauma
Medicine as metaphor, allegories of healing, metaphorical healing
200-word abstracts for 20-minute individual papers are welcome, together with a short biographical note (written in the third person) including institutional affiliation, address, e-mail and telephone numbers.
Please send abstracts and the required information, by November 1, 2018, to both Dr. Jeffrey W. Howlett, jwhowlett@baskent.edu.tr and Dr. Gözde Kılıç, gozdekilic@baskent.edu.tr, Department of American Culture and Literature, Faculty of Science and Letters, Başkent University, Ankara, Turkey.

Sapphic Vibes: Lesbians in Literature from the Renaissance to the Present
Université de Haute-Alsace, France, 14-15 March 2019
Deadline for proposals: 1 October 2018
We invite proposals for 20-minute papers in English or French focusing on any language area, but quotations and titles should be translated into English or French. Comparative approaches are welcome.
Please send abstracts of up to 250 words and a brief CV to Carine Martin (carine.martin@univ-lorraine.fr), Claire McKeown (claire.mc-keown@univ-lorraine.fr), Maxime Leroy (maxime.leroy@uha.fr) and Robert Payne (robert.payne@uha.fr) by 1 October 2018.Organisers: Carine Martin (Université de Lorraine), Claire McKeown (Université de Haute Alsace), Maxime Leroy (Université de Haute Alsace), Robert Payne (Université de Haute Alsace).Scientific Committee: Organisers and Jennifer K Dick (Université de Haute Alsace), Irma Erlingsdottir (University of Iceland), Marion Krauthaker (University of Leicester), Guyonne Leduc (Université de Lille), Marianne Legault (University of British Columbia), Frédérique Toudoire-Surlapierre (Université de Haute Alsace).While Sappho's poems remain significant as a benchmark of lesbian representation in high literature, her name has become synonymous with desire and love between women in wider popular culture. In the first episode of the Netflix series Orange Is the New Black (2013–pres.), for instance, one inmate says to the protagonist: "I'm feeling some Sapphic vibes coming off you." The word "vibes" calls into question the widely accepted belief that sexual identity can be reduced to a heterosexual–homosexual binary, and invites us to consider representations of love between women other than through explicit acts, words and relationships. For this conference, then, we use the term "vibes" as a starting point for exploring the lesbian continuum (Rich) as depicted in literature, from the explicit to the implicit, the said to the unsaid, the visible to the hidden.Full CFP and indicative bibliography:

Ethics and specialised domains: the place, functions and forms of ethical considerations in specialised varieties of English: GERAS 40th International Conference
Université Panthéon-Assas-Paris 2, Paris, France, 21-23 March 2019
Deadline for proposals: 15 November 2018
Specialised varieties of English have already been approached by researchers from a number of angles, but it seems that ethical considerations, and their place, functions and forms in the discourse of specialised communities have been under-investigated. Yet, a great many members of disciplinary or professional milieus ask themselves ethical questions about the organisation they work for, their responsibilities, their positioning or their relationships with society at large: whatever they do, they must be able to account for their decisions (Rawls 1987). Examples of such preoccupations are quite common today in such fields as legal ethics and the codes of conduct of the legal professions, ethical finance, business ethics, management ethics with the emergence of Chief Ethics Officers in the corporate world, in addition to journalistic, political and environmental ethics — not to mention medical ethics, bioethics, and ethics in science and the new technologies; as a result, ethics and deontology are often associated.
It is true that the current use of the word 'ethics' tends to stray from its original meaning, which may be regretted: it increasingly refers to professional or applied ethics (Badiou 1993). Nowadays the distinction between Aristotle's ethics, with its teleological dimension (telos), and Kant's moral theory, with its focus on duty(deon), has been blurred; still, some people do feel the need to distinguish between ethics — pertaining to individual rules that have been self-imposed after much questioning and meditating on what "aGood Life" really means — and morals, which are imposed from the outside and can be defined as the obligation to respect norms, heed constraints and play by the rules (Ricœur 1999). The mere idea that 'morals' might have a negative connotation linked with the notions of 'requirement' and 'duty' no doubt accounts for today's preference for the term 'ethics': hence the confusion between individual,disciplinary, and professional ethics.
Specialised discourse can yield a wealth of information for researchers since its analysis requires taking into consideration the communities that produce it, their own specific constraints and communicative purpose, in addition to the cultural, social, historical contexts in which discourse is produced. This conference will be an opportunity for researchers interested in discourse analysis to draw on specialised corpora in order to identify the linguistic or syntactic forms underpinning ethical considerations, or the preferred rhetorical tools used for conveying the appropriate message and reaching the desired goals. Linguists will be able to seek specific markers likely to determine whether the current interest for what is 'ethically correct' runs parallel with 'politically correct' concerns or even 'greenwashing' practices. Some claims about ethics may well be superficial. If so, what linguistic devices are used to support suchdeceptive attitudes, and how can they be detected in the discourse of specialised milieus? Special attention can also be paid to genre analysis: codes of conduct, charters and other documents meant to assert values, or define norms and rules will surely be of interest, and their specificity can be highlighted. For those interested in metaphors, the question of the potential impact of these tropes can be raised, in so far as the worldview they convey can influence the reader or targeted public. The choice of a metaphor is never innocent, in that it can guide people's reactions and attitudes. As Christian Walter (2012) — when commenting on mathematical models in finance — insists, any metaphorical choice is potentially an ethical one.
The theme of the conference will also enable specialists of terminology to study the conceptual fuzziness of the term 'ethics' in specialised contexts, paying special attention to neighbouring concepts such as value, virtue, norm, morals, code, etc. in a given specialised field or sub-field, either on the synchronic or the diachronic axis. Studying conceptual networks, possible shifts in meaning, or neology-in-the-making, may also help researchers apprehend specialised milieus' efforts to meet the requirements of society as far as ethics is concerned.
For translators of specialised discourse, the issue of ethics may be approached from a different angle, that of the consequences of the choices they make when translating a text, when trying to convey the original message without betraying its author's intention, or failing to meet the requirements of their client. They may also reflect upon the amount of freedom translators can afford: how to combine such freedom with the duty to make sure that the targeted public has all the necessary tools and information to understand the message the original author meant to convey?
Researchers interested in the didactics of specialised varieties of English (SVEs)—and in sensitising would-be teachers and researchers to the specific culture of the relevant domains — are invited to choose among a number of questions pertaining to their strand of research with respect to the theme of the conference (RPPLSP/Cahiers de l'APLIUT 2013). For example, they may wonder about the legitimacy and efficiency of their teaching methodology, or explore the relationships between ethics, epistemology and pragmatics, from the perspective of either action or reflection (Le Moigne 2005). The theme can also be approached from the perspective of the ethical competency with which teachers should endow their students in the various branches of activities for which the latter have chosen to prepare. Another question worth investigating is the ethical problem raised when conducting action-research projects in terms of the researcher's positioning: failure to take the right distance from one's resultsmight invalidate one's research, not to mention situations when the research includes other researchers' data (Macaire 2007). Whatever the domain or the approach, researchers in specialised varieties of English will find food for thought in the unifying theme of this conference, reflecting on the place, functions and forms of ethical considerations in specialised discourse, cultures, and communities. It is to be hoped that the various suggestions mentioned here, to which many more may be added, will attract the interest of many researchers, inspire a rich array of approaches, and feed enriching debates.
Paper proposals should be sent via the EasyChair website (another email will be sent when the link is available) before November 15 2018 and should include a title, a 300-word abstract and the names, affiliation and contact details of the speaker(s).

NEWstories: Faces of Crisis in 20th- and 21st- century prose, A Student-Doctoral Conference
Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland, 23 March 2019
"It is curious how, at eavery crisis, some phrase which does not fit insists upon coming to the rescue – the penalty of living in an old civilization with a notebook" (Virginia Woolf, The Waves)
The 1st NEWstories Conference, which will be held on 23 March 2019 at the Institute of English Studies of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków (Poland), aims to bring together both undergraduate and postgraduate literary scholars to share their experience and research results on all aspects of crisis in 20th- and 21st-century prose. It also provides an interdisciplinary platform for those interested in politics, ecology and psychology. Participants are invited to present and discuss significant innovations, trends as well as challenges related to the issue of crisis.
The notion of crisis is at the core of any appraisal of the 20th and 21st centuries. The revolutionaries in Victor Hugo's Les Misérables proclaimed that "[…] the nineteenth century is great, but the twentieth century will be happy." However, it was crisis, not joy, that shaped the 20th century, as it was marred by two World Wars, the Great Depression, genocide, the nuclear arms race, the AIDS epidemic and numerous other crises. The 21st century witnessed one of its defining crises in its first year when terrorists attacked World Trade Center, sparking off the war on terror and an economic crisis. Our conference sets out to examine the ways in which these crises are depicted in 20th- and 21st- century prose, as well as how literature itself changed throughout these tumultuous centuries, reflecting external crises. Moreover, the scope of interest of our conference includes ontological and epistemological crises, challenging preconceived notions connected with human existence and literature.
NEWstories annual conferences will be devoted to various aspects of 20th- and 21st- century literature. Postmodernism is more and more often claimed to be over, so it turns out that we are approaching a new literary epoch – as Pieter Vermeulen contends in Contemporary Literature and the End of the Novel: Creature, Affect, Form, "contemporary fiction's dramatization of the end of the novel conveys a sense that neither these modern forms of life nor the novel's cultural power are quite what they used to be." Yet we still struggle to find a convincing name for the time we happen to live in. From post- postmodernism, through metamodernism, to dismodernism, all the already suggested options refer to the present, but also seem to have their roots in the previous century. How can we know, then, what literature is today? And how do we interpret history and our inspirations? Aware of the questions that arise at the beginning of the new millennium, we invite literary scholars specializing in 20th- and 21st- century prose in all languages, hoping that the conferences will become a convenient forum to discuss current issues and doubts.
We invite proposals for 20-minute presentations in English by PhD, MA and BA students on 20th- and 21st- century prose texts dealing with the theme of crisis or exemplifying it, written in any language. Abstracts of about 150 words should be submitted to crisisconference2019@gmail.com by 31 December 2018. Notifications of acceptance will be sent by 15 January 2019.
Possible topics include but are not limited to the following themes:
literature and crisis (crisis of genre / form / style / authorship)
political crises economic crises
ecological crises
nuclear crises
migration crises
crisis of values technological crisis
existential crisis
crisis of representation
crisis of communication
There is no conference fee.
We are planning to publish selected papers presented at the conference.

Brexit – Europe without the UK: an International Conference on European Studies
London, UK, 30 March 2019
Deadline for proposals: 1 February 2019
On 23 June 2016 51.9% of the British population voted the withdrawal of the UK from the European Union. The referendum came as a shock not only to the Continent but to the whole world, and has divided the country and the nation. The Brexiteers argue in favour of autonomous economy, independent politics and sovereign society, forecasting 'a very, very bright future' for the reinvented country. However, Remainers advance the gloomy prospect of economic uncertainty, political instability and social unrest triggered by any of the strategies for dealing with the decision to leave the European Union. Either 'soft Brexit', 'hard Brexit' or 'no Brexit', the impact is still difficult to predict.
The conference is aimed to explore the national and regional effects and consequences of the UK's disengagement from Europe and the European structures. It will also focus on the causes and conditions that led to Euroscepticism and the anti-European majority vote.
The main objective of the event is to bring together all those interested in examining the intersections between their professions and/or interests and some distinct aspects of Brexit, providing an integrated approach for the understanding of the process within the current European context.
Topics include but are not limited to several core issues:
Between nationalism and nativism
Migration and immigration
Politics and policy-making after 29 March 2019
Trade, commerce and business
Post-Brexit free movement
The Irish border
The European Union without the UK
The role of London in Brexit
Perceptions of Brexit in popular culture
Paper proposals up to 250 words and a brief biographical note should be sent by 1 February, 2019 to: europe@lcir.co.uk

Overpopulation? UN Study Says Earth's Population Will Stop Growing by 2070
Futurecasting | UN
The world's population is growing older due to increasing life expectancy and falling fertility levels, and the number of countries experiencing a reduction in population size is growing.
The world's population is expected to increase by two billion persons in the next 30 years, from 7.7 billion currently to 9.7 billion in 2050, according to a new United Nations report [pdf] launched in June.
"Nevertheless, one feature that all of the current scenarios have in common is a continuing slowdown in the pace of population growth from now until 2100," said John Wilmoth, Director of the Population Division at UN DESA.
Pew Research
"According to the projections being released today, it seems plausible that the world population could reach its peak around 2100 at a level of nearly 11 billion people. However, that outcome is not certain and in the end the peaking could come earlier or later at a lower or higher level of total population."
The Pew Research group broke down some of the most important aspects of the UN's report.
Africa is the only world region projected to have strong population growth for the rest of this century.
In the Northern America region, migration from the rest of the world is expected to be the primary driver of continued population growth.
The population of Asia is expected to increase from 4.6 billion in 2020 to 5.3 billion in 2055, then start to decline.
India is projected to surpass China as the world's most populous country by 2027.
The Latin America and Caribbean region is expected to have the oldest population of any world region by 2100, a reversal from the 20th century.

"Holding Juvenile Offenders Accountable: A Restorative Justice Perspective."
Source: (1995) Juvenile and Family Court Journal 46(2):31-42.
This essay defines accountability for juvenile offenders as an intervention strategy within the context of the restorative justice paradigm. In the restorative justice paradigm, the meaning of accountability shifts the focus from incurring a debt to society to that of incurring a responsibility for making amends to the victimized person, from passively taking punishment to making things right. A punitive form of accountability is de-emphasized. Suggested accountability interventions under the restorative justice paradigm are summarized, including financial restitution with victim input, victim-directed community work service, personal service to victim, victim-offender groups, victim- offender mediation, and a continuum of mediation interventions in juvenile court.


The Shutesville Hill Wildlife Corridor crosses Route 100 on the Waterbury-Stowe town line and is one of the only largely forested pathway remaining for wildlife to move between the larger habitat blocks found in the Worcester Range to the east and main Green Mountain chain to the west. An effort has been underway to study and protect the corridor since 2010. What started as an informal collaboration between the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department and local conservation groups including the Stowe Land Trust and Stowe and Waterbury Conservation Commissions, has grown to include additional key players including the Nature Conservancy, Vermont Land Trust, and Vermont Department of Forests, Parks & Recreation, and Agency of Transportation.

Master economics
Economic analysis and theory and political debate are all central to the Master's program in economics. The program is a veritable hub of knowledge, taught by one of the youngest and most dynamic professorial teams at UQAM. The emphasis on discussion and exchange is important when it comes to choosing a thesis topic and a research supervisor, be it in the general program or in the financial economics stream. The latter emphasizes competency in finance and provides good training to financial sectoremployment or for the theoretical aspects of the CFA exams. The program requires two years of full-time involvement.
Our program places equal emphasis on knowledge of contemporary economic theories and current debate, on the one hand, and, on the other, the concrete application of such knowledge to particular fields. The program curriculum consists of, first, rigorous training in macroeconomic and microeconomic theory and econometrics. Then, students may choose from a large range of optional courses in order to proceed towards particular fields of research.
The Master's degree finishes with the completion of a mandatory Master's thesis, which provides the students with experience in research and writing. Not only does this benefit the student directly, it is also greatly appreciated by employers, which include the best institutions in the public and private sectors. Other students continue to doctoral level, be it in our own program or at other institutions in North America or Europe.
It will come as no surprise that our placement ratio is virtually 100%.

Tech is up for one chilling challenge- taking on the first winter crossing of the Antarctic with the world's greatest explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
Fiennes and his long-time colleague Dr Mike Stroud are set to make history with a planned six-month journey across Antarctica. The expedition is called "The Coldest Journey on Earth" and will cover an estimated 2,000 miles. The team may experience temperatures close to minus 130 degrees Fahrenheit, as they conduct the first up-close tests of the Antarctic winter environment.
On explorations like this, the team usually pull sledges carrying everything they need, but this time they're going for something different. Due to the extreme weather conditions Fiennes and a skiing partner will lead on foot, while two bulldozers dragging industrial sledges follow them.
The caboose will be hauled by an indefatigable Caterpillar D6N Antarctic Tractor, which will be the team's living quarters, science lab and all life-support.
Fiennes and his team are not the only ones to embark on this challenge, Microsoft, Iridium and Panasonic will also tag along to brave the ultimate test of modern technology.
Hardware partner Panasonic is supplying the Toughbook-branded laptops and tablets for science, communication and editing, in addition to both broadcast camera/recorders and consumer-grade photographic gear.
Microsoft and Iridium will provide tailored cloud and satellite technologies for the D6Ns to enable real-time updates on the expedition's progress.
Sir Ranulph Fiennes' six-person team will start its journey from London on December 5th and is expected to arrive at the Ross Ice Shelf in January. They will then cross the continent by land and meet up with the support ship on the other side in September 2013. They are slated to make it back home in London in early 2014.

Mitchell Katz, MD, the new president and CEO of New York City-based NYC Health + Hospitals, is no stranger to running public healthcare systems.
He spent 13 years as director and health officer of the San Francisco Department of Health. After that, he was director of the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services, one of the nation's largest public safety-net systems.
Now, Dr. Katz has brought his experience to New York City's 11-hospital public healthcare system with approximately 40,000 employees. In his new role, which he began Jan. 8, he faces an array of challenges, including declining reimbursement and a large uninsured and Medicaid patient population.
Becker's Hospital Review recently caught up with Dr. Katz to discuss these challenges, as well as his goals for NYC Health + Hospitals and his leadership style.
Note: Responses have been lightly edited for clarity.
Question: What made you decide to come to NYC?
Dr. Mitchell Katz: I was certainly quite happy in Los Angeles. But the factors for coming to New York were first, I'm a native New Yorker. I grew up in Brooklyn so I feel some allegiance, and I knew the system was having challenges, and I wanted to be able to use the skills I had to help my own hometown. And also, my parents are 95 and 90 and live just outside the New York City area, so for me this was an opportunity to take care of my parents and do the kind of work I love for my hometown.
Q: What have the last two months been like?
MK: It's been great. I would say Health and Hospitals is filled with people who are incredibly mission-driven — doctors and nurses and social workers and pharmacists who really care about our patients. I would say it's overall a system that needs a lot of work and improvement to be as good as the people working in it. We have outdated computer systems, outdated financial systems. It makes it challenging to take care of people in the best possible way. I feel the doctors and nurses are doing an amazing job in spite of the system. What you want is for a system that makes things easier to do an amazing job each day for the patients.
Q: What are your goals for the system?
MK: First would be fiscal stability. This system cannot continue with large [funding] gaps waiting to be filled by New York City. A system needs to be able to run on a reasonable and predictable amount of city subsidy. Health and Hospitals will always require a subsidy because we take care of people who are uninsured. Since by definition if you're uninsured there's no source of reimbursement, it makes sense the city has to contribute funding. What's changed is patients gained insurance through the ACA and other insurance expansions. Health and Hospitals did not make the transition to billing insurance, [and] we are inadequately billing for insured patients. So now with decreases in federal dollars it opened up a huge gap in our funding, and I need to fix that. We have established plans and know how to do that. It's already started. But over the next two to three years, I will be able to have a health system that runs on a predictable and appropriate subsidy level relative to our uninsured patients.
The second goal is to transform from a primarily hospital-focused, emergency department -focused, emergency-focused system to a primary care-focused system. Right now, 85 percent of the hospital admissions for Health and Hospitals come through the emergency department. That is not a mature system. What you want is for people to be seen by their primary care doctors or outpatient specialist and then if they need admission to come via those offices. Of course there will always be a certain number of emergencies, but 85 percent indicates a system with an inadequate outpatient system, and that is a true statement of Health and Hospitals but something we're going to change.
And finally, [the system seeks] a more muscular approach around the social determinants of health, including housing. In Los Angeles, I created more than 4,000 housing units for people who were previously in our hospitals, in our emergency rooms, in our clinics. I think when you're talking about low-income people you have a variety of factors beyond medical care that affect their health. It's impossible I think to maintain an optimum state of health when you're living on the streets or even [in] a shelter system if you're suffering from serious chronic disease.
Q: NYC Health + Hospitals recently added to its executive team. How do the new executives play a role in those goals?
MK: Any organization always has some transition. I think it's good to mix new people who are very enthusiastic with very experienced people who know the organization. The people [hired] reflect the areas that are especially important to me. So a director of managed care because part of how we're going to achieve fiscal stability is to have the appropriate contracts with insurance providers that pay the appropriate rates [and] making sure we get prior authorizations and put the right codes so we can bill. Then I created a vice president of primary care because I want the organization to have a focus around primary care that's part of the second goal of transforming from an inpatient system to an outpatient system. Then we had a vacancy for a CIO position. I was fortunate in being able to convince my CIO from Los Angeles, who's the only CIO I know who's had two successful implementations of EHRs in public systems. And then the fourth was also a vacancy we had for a chief safety officer, and the chief safety officer I chose is someone who's had a lot of success in an important program called the "second victim" program. It focuses on recognizing that when a patient has a bad outcome, the healthcare providers around that person are also hurt, and if you're going to maintain a positive environment to encourage good medical and nursing care you need to address the needs of healers. And that was something in addition to the general areas of safety that he did, so I thought he would be particularly welcomed in the organization.
Q: Do you have your own leadership style?
MK: I think what makes me somewhat different than most of the people who lead large systems is I'm a practicing primary care doctor, and I believe all decisions should be made in favor of patients. To me, every decision is about what is best for our patients. I don't make decisions on the basis of money. I don't make decisions on the basis of protocols or prior precedent. To me, everything has to be about our patients because as a healthcare institution, all we do is care for people — that's our function. And so it seems to me everything needs to be focused on patients. For example, one of the early things I'm doing is decreasing our administrative expenses because I want our money to go to the care of our patients. I am most focused on doctors, nurses, social workers, pharmacists and the people who support them. That would include registration people and IT people, but those people's jobs are to support the frontline clinicians who are interacting with our patients. And those are the things I want us to spend money on. I don't want to spend any more [money] than I have to on rent or consultants or things that are not front and center to the people I take care of.

Acupuncture Treats Dry Mouth In Cancer Patients, Study Shows
By Amanda Chan
11/13/2011 11:33pm EST
An ancient therapy could prove effective at relieving a common side effect of cancer treatment, a small, new study shows.
Acupuncture was able to reduce dry mouth in people who were receiving radiation therapy to treat their head and neck cancers, reported researchers from the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center.
Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, occurs when there is not enough saliva in the mouth.
"The medical implications are quite profound in terms of quality of life, because while chronic dry mouth may sound benign, it has a significant impact on sleeping, eating and speaking," study researcher Lorenzo Cohen, Ph.D., director of MD Anderson's Integrative Medicine Program, said in a statement. "Without saliva, there can be an increase in microbial growth, possible bone infection and irreversible nutritional deficits."
Researchers examined 86 people with nasopharyngeal carcinoma who were undergoing radiotherapy for their cancer. Forty of the patients received acupuncture three times a week while they received their radiotherapy over seven weeks, while 46 just had regular care.
Researchers monitored the study participants' saliva flow using a Xerostomia Questionnaire -- a score under 30 meant that dry mouth was mild or completely gone.
A month after all the study participants had finished their therapies, researchers found that 54.3 percent of the people who had acupuncture had a Xerostomia Questionnaire score of over 30, while 86.1 percent of people who didn't have acupuncture had a score of over 30.
And then six months after undergoing treatment, researchers found that just 24.1 percent of the people who had acupuncture had a score over 30, while 63.6 percent of the people who didn't had a score of over 30.
Researchers said more studies are needed to see why exactly acupuncture has these benefits.
In 2009, MD Anderson researchers had also found that acupuncture twice a week seemed to relieve dry mouth in cancer patients being treated with radiation therapy, ScienceDaily reported.
Previously, studies have shown that acupuncture can help relieve people experiencing chronic back pain. WebMD reported on a 2009 study showing that acupuncture was actually more effective than physical therapy and drugs at relieving this kind of pain.
Acupuncture is also used to help relieve pain in the neck and joints, as well as headache pain, according to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

Some of the amazing people that wave at referral onto the onto the squad here and that just delivering these home health care services in Tulsa? Is it rape in the primary focus and taking care of patients in that taking care of patients, families and providing products that really increase the value that we provide as a home health care Tulsa company in Oklahoma and beyond weed delivery service? Isn't really the reason why we are where we are today is because we've had such as such a strong focus on what the patient needs and as a primary and then secondary with the patients? Families in need, as well I would say instead of secondary, is equally as important taking care of the you know, patients once we're out of the home, so yeah the priorities right and that they weren't speaking things that they shouldn't be sneaking, and you know what we're putting up our season in placing is the patience in the patients, families that we like to focus on. What is some great stuff has happened this year as restore home health care of oklahoma, andfired and rehired. Anyone of influent to ever hide anyone with any special set of skills this year and anyone that comes to mind gosh, i, guess I'd have to really sit and think about it. Yeah it's a tough one. He sounds and looks an awful lot like you, paul unique. Yes, we are very, very, very happy and lucky and blessed to have andrew andrew andrew matheran, yes, yeah. We are so excited to have him as part of the marketing team directing and helping and leading and teaching yeah. It is been awesome. How do you feel about it going to have andy jump online and I just took about his experience in some of the things that he has done with restore health care, and you know some of the ways that life has become better as it pertains to come, help I'll be happy to talk about it, pull matheran united that there's a lot of things to come. Surprise me about home health care in tulsa, because I always used to have in the background of hyuna pharmaceutical and compounding in a medical device where you not really that hands-on with the patient and I will medical device econo I'll, be in the background when you watch the dogs before my surgery, but at what time healthcare?
Oh, so you really seen that level of care that that's really increased, because you know you got a chance to talk to different positions at the restaurant that helped influence at the end of the day, a patient well-being and recovery for a patient and end home health care in Tulsa. It's just a lot of different things that we need to help me with that patient and we have to get our minds really together to make sure that we have the appropriate technologies and and and just it just that, general sense that that we're doing at a good job and we we care and it's very easy to show up. Hyslop, restore home, health superstore, restore health, care home health in tulsa, because people do genuinely genuinely cat glasses on stuff that I care about their patients so much so that sometimes they go even when they don't need to be that. That's a fact that that happened this year and I was somehow i, see see it with some messages. Just went out and just to say, don't be with you know when you know the things that I've done outside of just taking care of the patients where at were you know thanksgiving christmas different times where patients and needed outside of just at jin jin, yuan home care, I love to to see in an even be a part that times so well so yeah lori in the room as well. Lori won't work, then some of y'all. Your highlights this year as it pertains to restore I'm out I'm, really really excited about what is happening in the Oklahoma city area. I mean I can just see it developing. You know it's just kind of on the cusp and that's very exciting. You know, and just when I thought, the Tulsa area, the home health care in Tulsa the office really had kind of plateaued. What does a therapist? We love that word plateau, don't like that word, but we use a lot plateaued. You know, I was just surprised again it just the explosion. That has happened in the the Tulsa office, and so that's been very, very exciting because, as we get more patients, we get more referral sources. That means we get to hire new nurses and grow the staff and grow the office, and you know it's it's just such a really cool thing to see. People I'm, especially some of the new nurses that have come on or new to home health, and you know see them, learn and grow and become more confident and what they're doing yes just is, is just so rewarding and it's just such a very, very cool thing to be a part of so yeah.
Those are probably a couple of the big highlights Oklahoma city area and then the the Tulsa area. Where are you know that I was trying to get better at sit down and in the leaders from the talk to lori and and an hour as well, it will sit down and put it with an s is for the marketing stuff just to make sure that everybody's on one accord? You know that that love that carrot attention to detail Stephanie reflects in the what is deafening reflects in the love toward that patients and when you have home health care in Tulsa. How you want to see that and they they see it live at that each and every day, which is a joy to see, because that joy gets passed down from leadership to the stuff and then go out, and then they cost at joy down to the patient's authority blessing. To see you and it's just a joy to be a part of this company on a pool feels the same way as well for the same way and then dad and I are all the stuff as well. You know that the water take care of Oklahoma city and he's out there working with a couple of fantastic, a nurses and who who who who from different entities, which is which is nice to hear or flat back to someone else, is up here as well, because it's just that one big family is a goodness absolutely a big family, goodness I couldn't agree more that andy and I and ii mef home health care in Tulsa has really dropped it standard when I restore home health in a stepped it up and so I'm, making a huge, huge dent in the market. No just in Tulsa Oklahoma city is stigler edmund and ann muskogee growth, and so it's just it's really exciting to see, and also to be a part of that end in wilmette. What's what about andy just now and I mean that he was talking about a company in any type of he's made on the company and and in the effect of the meetings now, but there's a lot to be gained in the meeting with the structure that has and the accountability that delivered across the the marketing team.
