The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Radley: A new Ipsos poll shows a third of Canadians use AI to manage finances. We are getting another display from the Northern Lights this week!

Durant cet épisode, Coach Frank discute avec Marc-André Duchesneau de son voyage d'études à Singapour.  Marc-André Duchesneau est titulaire d'un doctorat en sciences de l'éducation de l'Université de Montréal. Ses intérêts de recherche initiaux sur le développement psychosocial des élèves-athlètes du programme Sport-études lui proviennent d'expériences déterminantes qu'il a vécues, notamment à titre d'entraineur de natation, profession qu'il a exercée durant 5 ans jusqu'à l'équipe nationale junior en 2016, et comme enseignant en éducation physique dans un Centre jeunesse de Montréal. Marc-André a pris sa retraite du coaching sportif en 2017 afin d'aider les entraineur·es et les organisations sportives à innover. Pour y arriver, il met à profit son expérience, ses connaissances et la démarche scientifique cultivée durant son parcours scolaire. Il a entre autres fait ses armes avec le LAB des entraineur·es, projet qu'il a créé en 2018 pour le Conseil du sport de Montréal et qu'il a opéré jusqu'en 2023. Cette expérience lui a permis d'accompagner plus de 70 entraineur·es dans leur quête d'apprentissage. En marge de ce projet, il a collaboré avec plusieurs fédérations sportives québécoises (patinage artistique, natation, water-polo, ultimate) et organismes (Ministère de l'Éducation, Institut National du sport du Québec, réseau des CREM). Récemment, Marc-André s'intéresse beaucoup à la théorie de l'apprentissage social et aux communautés de pratique comme moyen de soutenir le développement professionnel des entraineur·es et des dirigeant·es sportifs. Ses recherches scientifiques portent essentiellement sur ce domaine. Lorsqu'il ne refait pas le monde avec la communauté sportive, Marc-André cherche ses balles de golf dans le bois (toujours à gauche de l'allée), dévale des pentes en vélos de montagne (ou les gravit en vélo de route) et s'aventure en terrain inconnu avec skis et peaux de phoques. Pour nous rejoindre par courriel: info@tresbonpoint.com Pour en savoir plus sur nos services: https://tresbonpoint.com/contact NOTES D'ÉMISSION Bienvenue et introduction de Marc-André Duchesneau. (1:00) Qu'est-ce que tu as aimé de la conférence à Singapour. (4:54) Pourquoi participer à la conférence « International Council for Coaching Excellence »? (7:44) La première présentation clé : Les exigences avec « Gert Vande Broek » qui a retenu ton attention. (14:26) Le grand défi qu'on fait face c'est les comportements qui soutiennent l'autonomie, la prise de décision et être exigeant envers les athlètes. (18:26) Est-ce qu'il y a des solutions pour atteindre les exigences? (20:32) Comment on négocie avec la question des exigences? (23:30) Le comportement des entraîneurs. (27:00) La deuxième présentation clé : Les éléments du talent avec « Joseph Baker » et « Kathy Johnson » qui a retenu ton attention. (28:14) Chaque décision qu'on prend a un risque. (33:51) Les décisions sont prises en fonction de qui est le meilleur « fit » et pas nécessairement la personne la plus talentueuse. (36:43) Le rationnel des décisions est entré dans les croyances du sélecteur. (43:25) La troisième présentation clé : Le talent sportif avec « Alex Roberts » (45:26) Programme « YouFor2032 » (48:19) Progresser dans le sport avec un mentor et créateur d'opportunités.

The night that Joseph Baker from Bloomington, Indiana was pulled over for drunk driving also happened to be the first night of Indiana's "Stay-At-Home" order. He could be facing (on TOP of his drunk driving charges) a $1,000 fine and 6 months behind bars. Oof. 

Christopher D. Bader and Joseph O. Baker's book Deviance Management: Insiders, Outsiders, Hiders, and Drifters (University of California Press, 2019) examines how individuals and subcultures manage the stigma of being labeled socially deviant. Exploring high-tension religious groups, white power movements, paranormal subcultures, LGBTQ groups, drifters, recreational drug and alcohol users, and more, the authors identify how and when people combat, defy, hide from, or run from being stigmatized as “deviant.” While most texts emphasize the criminological features of deviance, the authors’ coverage here showcases the diversity of social and noncriminal deviance. Deviance Management allows for a more thorough understanding of strategies typically used by normalization movements to destigmatize behaviors and identities while contributing to the study of social movements and intra-movement conflict. This interview with co-author Joseph Baker covers how deviance management occurs in contemporary examples, such as bigfoot watch groups and the Westboro Baptist Church. Additionally, Baker discusses how he and his co-author conducted this research using a mixed-methods approach and how the authors gained access to these stigmatized communities. Other topics covered in the interview include what makes something or someone deviant, in-depth explanations of the processes of deviance management, and the future of deviance research—including how sociologists should approach the study of deviance moving forward. Christopher D. Bader is Professor of Sociology at Chapman University. Joseph O. Baker (@ParadoxOfBelief) is Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology & Anthropology at East Tennessee State University. Krystina Millar is a PhD student in the Department of Sociology at Indiana University. Her research interests include gender, sociology of the body, and sexuality.

What is behind the decline in UFO sightings? Article link: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/sep/21/what-is-behind-the-decline-in-ufo-sightings This month, the two major online sites for reporting UFOs – the National UFO Reporting Center and the Mutual UFO Network – both documented steep drops in worldwide sightings. The declines started around 2014, when reports were at a peak. They have since reduced drastically to 55% of that year's combined total, many UFO interest groups have folded, and numerous previously classified government documents have been disclosed. Possible answers as to why sightings are decreasing are varied. A key factor, however, may be that more people simply don't care any more. As we are accustomed to being inundated with wild claims churned out by politicians, media and advertisers, the next report of a UFO is no more believed than the long-range weather forecast. According to the cultural historian Stuart Walton, “Belief in UFOs is definitely in a state of decline, along with much else that could be classed as paranormal. Part of the reason is that the technology for providing documentary evidence of such matters is now widely available to everybody with a smartphone, and such purported evidence as there is on YouTube looks extremely threadbare.” Furthermore, government disclosure of its own video footage isn't helping to maintain belief. Joseph Baker, sociology professor at Tennessee State University, says: “It's actually better for UFOs when ufologists can claim that ‘the powers that be know everything and are hiding it from us' rather than seeing that the government appears to have basically the same info about UFOs as the public: namely grainy, inconclusive visual evidence.” Show Stuff Get your UBR goodies today! http://tee.pub/lic/2GQuXxn79dg UBR Trurh Seekers Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/216706068856746 Manny Moonraker: https://www.facebook.com/MannyMoonraker/ UFO Buster Radio: https://www.facebook.com/UFOBusterRadio YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCggl8-aPBDo7wXJQ43TiluA Google Plus Manny's Updated Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+MannyMoonraker To contact Manny: manny@ufobusterradio.com, or on Twitter @ufobusterradio Call the show anytime at (972) 290-1329 and leave us a message with your point of view, UFO sighting, and ghostly experiences or join the discussion on www.ufobusterradio.com For Skype Users: bosscrawler

Joseph Baker, sociology professor at Tennessee State University, says: “It's actually better for UFOs when ufologists can claim that ‘the powers that be know everything and are hiding it from us' rather than seeing that the government appears to have basically the same info about UFOs as the public: namely grainy, inconclusive visual evidence.” Show Stuff Get your UBR goodies today! http://tee.pub/lic/2GQuXxn79dg UBR Trurh Seekers Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/216706068856746 Manny Moonraker: https://www.facebook.com/MannyMoonraker/ UFO Buster Radio: https://www.facebook.com/UFOBusterRadio YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCggl8-aPBDo7wXJQ43TiluA Google Plus Manny's Updated Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+MannyMoonraker To contact Manny: manny@ufobusterradio.com, or on Twitter @ufobusterradio Call the show anytime at (972) 290-1329 and leave us a message with your point of view, UFO sighting, and ghostly experiences or join the discussion on www.ufobusterradio.com For Skype Users: bosscrawler

A rapidly growing number of Americans are embracing life outside the bounds of organized religion. Although the United States has long been viewed as a fervently religious Christian nation, survey data shows that more and more Americans are identifying as “not religious.” Drs. Joseph Baker and Buster Smith claim that despite there being more non-religious Americans than ever before, social scientists have not adequately studied the various secularities, and that the lived reality of secular individuals in America has not been astutely analyzed. In an effort to fill this lacuna, they have published a book called American Secularism: Cultural Contours of Nonreligious Belief (New York University Press, 2015) in which they explore secular Americans’ thought and practice to understand secularisms as worldviews in their own right, not just as negations of religion. Drawing on empirical data, the authors examine how people live secular lives and make meaning outside of organized religion. They address the contemporary lived reality of secular individuals, outlining forms of secular identity and showing their connection to patterns of family formation, sexuality, and politics, demonstrating that shifts in American secularism are reflective of changes in the political meanings of “religion” in American culture. Dr. Joseph Baker is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at East Tennessee State University and a senior research associate for the Association of Religion Data Archives. Buster Smith is an Associate Professor and Department Chair in the Department of Sociology at Catawba College and the managing editor of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Research on Religion (IJRR).

Joseph Baker is the guest on this week's episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show. He is a professor of sociology at Eastern Tennessee State University and the author of the book Paranormal America.  During this episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show, Joseph and Chauncey discuss alternative knowledge systems and conspiracy theories, the rise of Donald Trump, Infowars, and fantastical thinking, as well as how those people who believe in UFOs, Bigfoot, and ghosts construct reality. Joseph also shares some great stories about searching for Bigfoot and spending time with ghost hunters.  In this week's episode, Chauncey DeVega calls out the foolishness that is America's obsession with Donald Trump's Twitter feed, tells a story about how he may have told too much truth during a recent radio appearance in San Francisco, and asks listeners if he should soften his approach to talking about the horrible reality that is America under Donald Trump. In the spirit of this week's episode, Chauncey also shares some stories from The Weekly World News. 

George Noory and guests Christopher Bader and Joseph Baker discuss their research into the psychological impact of UFO abduction cases, victims of satanic rituals and Bigfoot sightings. Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers
