For our global PeacePlayers family, this was no different. Nonetheless, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen our PeacePlayers community and our incredible youth leaders demonstrate resilience in the face of adversity. The positive impact they have had on their communities has been life changing for many. By creating critical human connections and a collective sense of responsibility, PeacePlayers has helped youth and their families find support and comfort across conflict lines and even fostered a sense of global solidarity. As an organization, the pandemic forced us to look beyond immediate challenges and recognize that deep, sweeping collaboration across our sites was necessary in order for us to survive, and even thrive. We worked as a global team to successfully transfer programs to the virtual sphere, and through this cooperation, we came to understand the full potential of our core values of “seeing people as people,” “inside out transformation” and “a culture of collaboration.” This helped accelerate the reconceptualization of our organizational structure, and we are stronger and more effective because of it. Our work bridging seemingly intractable divides and addressing inequities in the Middle East, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Cyprus and the United States remains critical - even more so in light of the global pandemic, which has heightened inequity and conflict across the globe. Our world is divided, but our young leaders give us hope for the future. This hope has earned even greater meaning for us, thanks to the recently released groundbreaking randomized control trial study that confirmed what we have long recognized to be true: PeacePlayers’ young leaders become active and effective ambassadors in their communities, changing their societies every day and building sustainable peace. As we reflect on the year past, we look to you, our partners, supporters and friends. We hope that you are proud of the role that you have played in uniting divided communities through the power of sport, and that you remain inspired to continue to engage in the hard work necessary to create real change. As we prepare to celebrate our 20th anniversary next year, we remain as inspired as ever to create a more peaceful and equitable world through sport. Thank you for your belief and commitment to our goal of building a global youth movement. We stand as one in our humanity as part of a shared, global community that truly believes that #PeaceStartsWithUs.

INTRODUCTION By Diana Nyad For two decades, the GENDER IN TELEVISED SPORTS report has tracked the progress— as well as the lack of progress—in the coverage of women’s sports on television news and highlights shows. One of the positive outcomes derived from past editions of this valuable study has been a notable improvement in the often‐derogatory ways that sports commentators used to routinely speak of women athletes. The good news in this report is that there is far less insulting and overtly sexist treatment of women athletes than there was twenty or even ten years ago.

  • The Demographic Timebomb – Are Northern Ireland's Days in the United Kingdom Numbered?
    The Demographic Timebomb – Are Northern Ireland’s days in the United Kingdom numbered? by Gregory Hammond Research Paper submitted in fulfilment of a MA Degree at King’s College London March 2006 The Demographic Timebomb – Are Northern Ireland’s days in the United Kingdom numbered? Gregory Hammond Map reproduced directly from: http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/images/maps/ni_towns.gif on 8 Feb 06 ABSTRACT Periodically it has been suggested that Northern Ireland’s days in the United Kingdom are numbered because the Province’s Roman Catholic population has been expanding faster than the Protestant population, pointing to a future Catholic majority and an inevitable vote for Irish unity. This paper reviews the Province’s demographic trends, which in fact reveal that the two populations are on course to move into approximately equal numbers by mid-century with neither side gaining or retaining respectively a clear lead over the other. While ‘tribal’ voting habits would result in electoral stalemate between the Unionist and Nationalist blocs, the present trends overall indicate that there would not be an electoral majority for a united Ireland, although the result of a mid-century referendum would be closer than opinion polls indicate today. Finally, the paper examines Northern Ireland’s constitutional future through a ‘demographic lens’, showing that the logic of the current situation is to proceed with efforts to make devolved power-sharing work within the current borders; there is no case for repartition today, but the idea should not be dismissed for all time and the paper postulates two future scenarios in which repartition could be appropriate.

Here’s a plan to reverse the “adultification” of youth athletics. BY CHRIS BALLARD (HTTPS://EXPERIENCELIFE.COM/AUTHOR/CBALLARD/) | SEPTEMBER 2014 (/ISSUES/SEPTEMBER-2014) Last month, at a local coffee shop, I ran into a father I know from my daughter’s school. While we exchanged small talk, he mentioned that he’d hired a local Olympic (http://experiencelife.com/article/for-olympic-athletes-food-is-fuel-and-a-weapon/)-level soccer player to work with his daughter. She was now receiving one-on-one coaching, as well as extended training sessions. Under this tutelage, she’d learn how to eat right, compete at the highest level, and prepare for what would surely be a glorious athletic future. Did I mention our daughters just turned 7? Such is the world of youth sports today. And this is by no means an extreme example. We’re all familiar with parents sending children off to camps and gurus or driving them across state lines for tournaments.

  • Collegians-Rugby-Football-Club
    COLLEGIANS RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB 1890— 1990 by PIERRE PAUL FRY Published by Collegians Rugby Football Club, Belfast, and printed by Nelson & Knox (N.I.) Ltd. BELFAST: 1989 it FOREWORD One does not proceed very far into the research on Collegians Rugby Football Club without realising the depth and the degree to which Collegians owes its survival and existence to the generosity and benevolence of Charles Seaver Neill. Collegians is synomonous with Charlie Neill. Appropriately, the present pavilion at Deramore Park is a tangible memorial to him. It was my privilege to have known him and to have played rugby at Collegians when he was very much the dominating personality. When you met him you saw either the obvious gentleman with old world charm and courtesy or a man with commanding presence, he was over six feet tall and straight in stature, forbidding, even autocratic, but whichever mood he was in you may be sure that underneath his exterior was a most sympathetic and understanding nature. In conversation when he was invariably extolling the virtues of Collegians, he spoke with a distinct, pulsating and passionate voice. Charlie Neill was the great Collegian. I wish to thank many people and sources from which I have had assistance in the compilation of this work. My first acknowledgement must be made to the Belfast Newsletter, the Belfast Telegraph, the Ireland's Saturday Night, the Northern Whig, the Linenhall Library and the Central Library for permission to use their files for reports and results of matches. My thanks are also due to the Methodist College, Belfast for access to its archives, mainly for the records of the early years.

Anthropological Study at El-Zhour Club in Cairo Dr. Samah Ahmed Faried Mostafa Associate Professor at Philosophy and sociology Dep., Faculty of Education, Ain shams University, Egypt Doi:10.19044/esj.2018.v14n29p244 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2018.v14n29p244 Abstract In Egypt, after leading change in the 2011 revolution, and being the majority of the Egyptian population, young Egyptians became the focus of much attention in the political and media speech. Sport for peace building has become an acknowledged policy in underprivileged communities both in the developing and developed world. The study argues that sport for peace programs in Egypt hold the potential role not only to alter structural violence but also to prevent the violence in the form of extremism. This study aims to place the perception of the sport importance and its influence’ on youth manner especially towards peace building and conflict resolution. It is important to reveal youth’ perception and their recommendations about peace and conflict after participating in some sports program at the club. The purpose of this paper is to determine the current barriers faced by Egyptian sport federations in their policy to reduce the social conflict. The data set is made up of youth and expert interviews, coaches and supplemented by ethnographic records about youth sport programs collected by the author through observation and scale.

  • Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Guidance for Youth Sports Leagues Requirements and Best Practices
    Los Angeles County Department of Public Health Guidance for Youth Sports Leagues Requirements and Best Practices Introduction On July 17 and 22, the Los Angeles County Health Officer issued a revised Health Officer Order requiring the use of face masks in all indoor public settings. Given the increase in community transmission of COVID-19 and the predominance of the more easily spread Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus, masking indoors, regardless of vaccination status, is essential to slowing the spread of COVID-19 in the community. The Delta variant of the COVID-19 virus spreads more easily than strains of the virus that circulated in LA in the past. Below is a summary of requirements and best practices for youth sports leagues (including school sports teams) to enhance safety for participants, coaches, and communities, and lower the risk of COVID-19 transmission within their teams. In addition to this information, please remember: • Youth sports leagues must follow the LA County Health Officer Order and the LA County COVID-19 Exposure Management Plan Guidance for Youth Recreational Sports Programs. • Youth sports leagues that employ coaches or other support staff must also adhere to the Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS). • Youth sports leagues operating concession stands should review and follow DPH Best Practice Guidance for Food and Beverage Service. Please be sure to read and follow the general guidance for employers. The best practices below are intended to supplement the general guidance. Follow mask rules for participants, coaches, and spectators • Participants: When indoors, require all participants, regardless of vaccination status, to bring and wear masks .
