He and I were members of a small organization called the Society of Psychologists in Management (SPIM). SPIM was made up of lovely people who were educated to become psychologists, but who ended up being managers or consultants to managers. I was no longer consulting to managers, so I was looking for another organization to join. I went to Ray and asked him what he thought, and “IAAP” sprang immediately to his lips. So, I joined. I Valerie Hearn, Editor, was the newsletter editor for SPIM at that time. Somehow I was appointed IAAP Bulletin IAAP newsletter editor (actually co-editor with Dennis Trent). I’m not sure how it happened, but I’m pretty sure that Ray worked his special magic behind the scenes. All of this took place in 2006, and my learning curve began then at the conference in Athens. Presently, it is 2018. I hope that I have learned the job by now, as I am being put out to pasture (could be worse). This is the last paper edition of the Bulletin before you will find it on IAAP’s website. It’s “a collector”, to quote our President-Elect, Christine Roland-Levy, so I hope that you all collect it. What you will be collecting includes “The President’s Corner” which describes just some of the improvements that the Officers and the Board have accomplished since the beginning of Janel Gauthier’s Presidential term in office four years ago. Following close on the heels of President Janel is a Past President, Mike Knowles. Especially for you student members, this is a fascinating (and funny) account of how Mike started out as a student and morphed into a professor and also the President of our Association. And then...we have our President-Elect who has written a letter to all Members. Joining IAAP gives you many opportunities. My favorite opportunity has been meeting and connecting with people (psychologist people) from all over the world. Our conferences and congresses are the best. (There are several announced and reported on in this Bulletin). There are Regional Conferences and various other conferences to attend in between the Congresses that happen every four years. Also, in this Bulletin there is a very timely interview called “Contribution of psychology to the challenge of terrorism.” The opportunity to join a group of like-minded Psychologists is yours when you join one or more Divisions. And there are many other opportunities to serve. Use whatever you are good at to contrib- ute to our wonderful IAAP. That’s what I did. I want to thank everyone who has contributed to my industry and enjoyment in editing the Bulletin. This includes everyone who has sent me articles, and at the top of this list are the people who sent me articles regularly. Thank you all very much. To conclude: Not only am I smiling, but I’m working on conjuring up my blue fog. (You have to read to the end of this Bulletin to comprehend that.) 1 President’s Corner We have done well together - Thank you all! Dear IAAP Members, My term as President of IAAP will end at the end of the International Congress of Applied Psychology (ICAP) to be held in Montreal on June 26– 30, 2018. So, as the present issue of the IAAP Bulletin (July 2018) will be distributed toward the end of June or early July, it means that this is my very last column for the Bulletin as President. Janel Gauthier, In this article, I wish to pay tribute and express my profound gratitude to all President of IAAP those who gave so much of their time, energy and creativity during my Presidential term from 2014–2018. I also want to summarize the main initiatives and achievements over the past four years. I hope the picture it paints as a whole does justice to the vigour and vitality of IAAP and confirms that we are all members of an Association of which we can be justifiably proud. GOVERNANCE Good governance is key to the success of an organization. New and effective governance practices were introduced to improve decision-making, connect IAAP – and its Board – to its membership, and improve the financial stability of IAAP and its ability to weather a crisis. Among other things, new modes of communication were introduced to make sure the members of the Executive Commit- tee (EC) and those of the Board Directors (BoD) are kept engaged between face-to-face meetings. For example, the EC had online meetings almost every other month and the BoD had online brief- ings before considering some motions. Furthermore, motions were introduced by e-mail and voted on between meetings. Finally, the governance of IAAP was strengthened by appointing three addi- tional members to the Executive Committee, namely an Information Technology Coordinator (Mil- ton Hakel) a Divisions Coordinator (Lyn Littlefield), and a Communications Coordinator (Christina Sue-Chan). These appointments were made on the basis of issues identified by the Task Force on Communications and the Task Force on Strategic Goals for IAAP in 2014 in those areas and in need of special attention. Two new committees were established: The United Nations (UN) Policy Advisory Committee and the Committee for the Advanced Research Training Seminars (ARTS). The former was created in response to the need for IAAP to provide scientific information through its Divisions for the benefit of aiding decision makers at the UN in formulating policy regarding its 17 sustainable development goals. The latter was created after a review of the ARTS program in 2015–2016 which is now based on a new training model and run entirely by IAAP. The IAAP Constitution was amended to modify the number and the length of terms of office of the members of the EC and the BoD as recommended by the Task Force on Terms of Office, Renewal, Succession and Rejuvenation of the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors in a report submitted to the BoD in 2014. The number of years or terms one can serve as an EC member is now limited to 8 consecutive years or two consecutive terms, not counting the years or the terms as presidential officers. The number of consecutive years one can serve as BoD member is now limited 2 to 10 years, including years of service as Member-at-Large, Division President and Division Presi- dent-Elect. The rules of procedure for the creation of Divisions were revised and a set of new rules providing for the creation of Interest Groups in addition to the creation of Divisions were approved by the BoD in 2016. Under the Constitution as amended in 2016, the creation of an interest group is now a prerequisite to establishing a division. A set of new rules of procedure for the elections of IAAP Division Presidents-Elect and other Offi- cers were approved by the BoD in 2016. It was the outcome of two years of consultation with Divisions. FINANCES Keeping accurate financial records through proper bookkeeping and accounting is an essential part of running an organisation such as IAAP. It is crucial to its growth and survival. Without proper bookkeeping, an organisation runs the risk of crashing into a wall, particularly as the organisation grows and the level of activity increases, which is the case of IAAP. There was a need for IAAP to update and streamline its accounting and bookkeeping system. An accounting software was selected and implemented. IAAP Treasurer Lourdes Munduate, with the support of IAAP Information Technology Coordinator Milton Hakel, implemented in 2015 a computerized accounting and bookkeeping system based on “generally accepted accounting principles” (G.A.A.P.), an international convention of good accounting practices. Lourdes Munduate’s prudence combined with the expanding influence of IAAP’s journals (Applied Psychology: An International

  • Does Paranormal Perception Occur in Near-Death Experiences?" Defended
    "Does Paranormal Perception Occur in Near-Death Experiences?" Defended Keith Augustine, M.A. Internet Infidels, Colorado Springs, CO ABSTRACT: Four preceding commentaries present a variety of criticisms of "Does Paranormal Perception Occur in Near-Death Experiences?": that most near-death researchers do not interpret near-death experiences (NDEs) as evidence for life after death; that near-death researchers never appeal to NDE accounts incorporating predictable or uncorroborated details as evidence for veridical paranormal perception during NDEs; that reliable data contradict my critique of near-death veridicality studies; that it is unscientific to suggest a role for embellishment in NDE reports; that the patient in the Maria's shoe case reported veridical details that she could not have learned about through conventional means; and that my critique of the Pam Reynolds case amounts to an "a priori dismissal" of features suggesting veridical paranormal perception or consciousness in the absence of brain activity. I respond to each of these and other criticisms in kind. KEY WORDS: out-of-body experiences; survival hypothesis; veridical para normal perception; embellishment; anesthesia awareness. According to Bruce Greyson, my critique of near-death veridicality research - particularly my claim that the majority of near-death researchers interpret NDEs as evidence for survival after death - is founded on "unsubstantiated speculation from the popular media" rather than any scientific data or scholarly literature. In fact, the claim is an inference based on the explicit comments of prominent near-death researchers themselves, including the very researchers Keith Augustine, M.A., is Executive Director and Scholarly Paper Editor of Internet Infidels, a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to defending and promoting metaphysical naturalism on the Internet.

Fox Sports, Fox Sports 2 and Fox Sports 3 roll out across the region on 15 August in both standard definition and HD. These replace the previous versions of Fox Sports as well as Fox Sports Plus HD and Star Sports everywhere except China and South Korea, where Star Sports will continue to be offered. Fox Sports News and Fox Football Chan- nel HD remain unchanged, as do the network’s non-linear offerings – Fox Sports Play and Fox Sports Mobile. Each of the new brands will cater to distinct groups of sports fans, says Joon Lee, FIC Asia’s executive vice president, content and communications, APAC and Middle East and managing director, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. Coming two years after the end of the ESPN Star Sports joint venture, the latest branding is aimed at going even bigger with the Fox Sports brand. More simply, “we inherited the Star Sports brand and it’s confusing to have the two with distinctions that are not clear enough,” Lee says. “It’s essential for us to come up with a network under one brand, which is Fox Sports,” he adds.

  • Some Spiritual Implications of Synchronistic Experiences
    PUTTING THE SINN BACK INTO SYNCHRONICITY: SOME SPIRITUAL IMPLICATIONS OF SYNCHRONISTIC EXPERIENCES DR RODERICK MAIN Introduction I ought to begin by apologising to anyone I may have lured to read this paper under false pretences. The word ‘Sinn’ in the title is not a spelling mistake, and I regret that I have nothing novel to contribute on the subject of vice and wickedness. Sinn, spelt with a capital ‘s’ and two ‘n’s and pronounced as though the ‘s’ were a ‘z’, is a German word for ‘meaning’; it appears in the phrase ‘sinnvolle koinzidenz’, ‘meaningful coincidence’, which is C. G. Jung’s (1875-1961) most succinct definition of his concept of synchronicity. 1 A slightly fuller definition of synchronicity, which will be clarified and amply illustrated in what follows, is that it is the meaningful acausal paralleling of events, usually of an inner psychic event with an outer physical event .2 A simple example is where one is thinking intensely about an obscure subject such as the alleged mystical significance of a certain number sequence, then, unable to pursue these thoughts any further, one switches on the radio to relax, only to find that one is listening to an unscheduled and illuminating discussion of precisely this subject. Here, the psychic event of one’s intense thoughts and the physical event of hearing the discussion on the radio obviously parallel each other in a way which is likely to strike one as meaningful, yet neither of the events can have caused the other in any normal sense. In discussions of such experiences, attention usually focuses either on the improbability of the paralleling between the events or on the certainty with which a normal causal relationship between the events can be ruled out.

  • Examining Coincidences: Towards an Integrated Approach Laurence Browne MA (London), MA (Griffith)
    Examining Coincidences: towards an integrated approach Laurence Browne MA (London), MA (Griffith) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics Abstract A coincidence can be broadly defined as ‘a notable co-occurrence of events’ which may have causal or non-causal origins. Some coincidences have discernible causal connections, though these may be quite subtle and complex. Others are clearly attributable to the random play of chance or luck, while certain ostensibly random coincidences can be distinguished by the numinosity and meaning they hold for the individual involved. C. G. Jung coined the term synchronicity for such coincidences. However, there is currently no generally accepted overarching theoretical framework that deals comprehensively and inclusively with the several disparate categories under which different sorts of coincidences might be appropriately classified. The aim of this thesis is to remedy that omission. Just as planets and stars appear as points of light in the night sky and are indistinguishable to the untrained eye, so coincidences may seem on the surface to be all of one kind. This, unfortunately, has led to a tendency towards either/or explanations to account for them, a situation exacerbated by the ideological and metaphysical presumptions that have historically been equated with particular explanations. And there is more than a grain of truth to the notion that how we personally interpret coincidences is a reflection of our underlying beliefs about the nature of the universe and whether or not there is more to our existence than meets the eye.

  • Does Paranormal Perception Occur in Near-Death Experiences?"
    Commentary on "Does Paranormal Perception Occur in Near-Death Experiences?" Charles T. Tart, Ph.D. Institute of TranspersonalPsychology, Palo Alto, CA EDITOR'S ABSTRACT AND NOTE: In this commentary, Charles Tart critiques Keith Augustine's deconstruction of Pam Reynolds's near-death experience (NDE) while undergoing cerebral aneurysm surgery using the hypothermic cardiac arrest ("standstill") procedure. However, after drafting this initial response to Augustine's paper, family medical problems prevented Tart from researching and polishing his comments as thoroughly as he would have wished. He has approved our publication of this commentary but regrets that it is not up to his usual standard. KEY WORDS: near-death experience; hypothermic cardiac arrest; life after death; brainstem auditory evoked response; electroencephalogram. I would like to address inaccuracies and misleading statements in Keith Augustine's discussion of Pam Reynolds's near-death experience (NDE). In Augustine's discussion of this NDE, he wrote that "The case soon became infamous." His use of the term "infamous" is biased and unscientific reporting, and already prejudges the case. A sentence later he continued: "But it has been sensationalized at the expense of the facts, facts that have been continually misrepresented." However, he did not provide any evidence either that this case has been sensationalized or that the facts have been misrepresented; this is another a priori dismissal. Charles T. Tart, Ph.D., is a Core Faculty member of the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto and Professor Emeritus of Psychology at the University of California, Davis. Reprint requests should be addressed to Dr. Tart at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, 1069 East Meadow Circle, Palo Alto, CA 94303; e-mail: [email protected].
