Millennium Development Goals: Ideas, Interests and Influence, London: Routledge, 2017
Heralded as a success that mobilized support for development, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) ushered in an era of setting development agendas by setting global goals. This book critically evaluates the MDG experience from the capabilities and human rights perspectives, and questions the use of quantitative targets as an instrument of global governance. It provides an account of their origins, trajectory and influence in shaping the policy agenda, and ideas about international development during the first 15 years of the 21st century.
The MDGs, Capabilities and Human Rights. The power of numbers to shape agendas. (coedited with Alicia Ely Yamin) London: Routledge, 2015
Heralded as opening a new chapter in international development, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) have led to the use of global goals and quantitative targets as a central instrument for defining global priorities. This book explores the implications of this new approach. How does target setting influence policy priorities of national governments, bilateral donors, multilateral agencies, NGOs, and other stakeholders? What are the intended and unintended consequences? Why is the use of numeric indicators effective? How does quantification reshape meanings of challenges such as women's empowerment? This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Human Development and Capabilities.
Critical and Feminist Perspectives on Financial and Economic Crises (coedited with James Heintz and Stephanie Seguino). London: Routledge, 2015
Economic and financial crises have become perennial features of today's global economy. Macroeconomic theories of crisis, including the global crisis that unfolded in 2008, emphasize the role of financial deregulation; capital flow imbalances; and growing debt, fueled by income and wealth inequality. These approaches tend to be divorced from feminist thinking which analyzes broader distributional dynamics transmitted through structural channels and government policy responses, with an emphasis on gender, race, class and ethnicity. This volume brings together innovative thinking from heterodox macroeconomists and feminist economists to explore the causes, consequences, and ramifications of economic crises. By doing so, it highlights aspects of the economy that are frequently overlooked or ignored, such as the impact of crises on the vast amount of unpaid work which women perform relative to men.
Food Security in South Africa: Human Rights and Entitlement Perspectives ( co-edited with Viviene Taylor). University of Cape Town Press, 2015
The right to food is guaranteed in South Africa's Constitution as it is in international law. Yet food insecurity remains widespread and persistent, at levels much higher than in countries with similar levels of per capita GDP and development, such as Brazil. In this book, leading local and international researchers on food security and related policy work have come together to create the first systematic and trans-disciplinary analysis of food security and its multiple dimensions in South Africa and the southern African region.
Fulfilling Social and Economic Rights (with T. Lawson-Remer and S. Randolph). New York: Oxford University Press, 2015
One of the most ambitious legacies of the 20th century was the universal commitment to ensure freedom from want as a human right. But to what extent are countries across the world living up to this commitment? This path breaking book develops an innovative, evidence-based index for comparing performance on education, food, health, work and housing across very differently situated countries and over time. It explores the factors influencing performance and provides empirical evidence to resolve some long standing controversies over the principle of "progressive realization". By defying the boundaries of traditional research disciplines, this work fundamentally advances our knowledge about the status of and factors promoting social and economic rights fulfillment at the dawn of the 21st century.

Preventing Violent Conflict in Africa: Inequalities, Perceptions and Institutions (coeditor with Yoichi Mine, Frances Stewart, Thandike Mkandawire), London: Palgrave McMillan, 2013
Horizontal inequalities are root causes of violent conflict in Africa. Yet, people take actions not because of statistical data on inequalities, of which they might not be aware, but because of injustices they perceive. This volume analyses the results of original surveys with over 3,000 respondents in African cities and towns, exposing clear discrepancies between objective inequalities and people's subjective perceptions. The contributors examine experiences in country pairs and probe into the reasons why neighbouring countries, sharing common historical traits, sometimes took contrasting pathways of peace and violent conflict. Combining quantitative analysis and qualitative anatomy of historical experiences of conflict and reconciliation in Rwanda, Burundi, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya and Nigeria, the study brings forward a set of policy recommendations for development practitioners. This work further addresses the issue of institutional choice and reveals how sustainable power-sharing and decentralisation contribute to political stability in Africa.
Human Rights and the Capabilities Approach: An interdisciplinary dialogue (editor with Diane Elson and Polly Vizard) London: Routledge, 2011
The book includes contributions from some of the leading scholars in the two fields of capabilities approach and human rights. It covers the essential aspects of this relationship: addressing the complementarities between human rights and capabilities as theoretical concepts; how the concept of capabilities can contribute to resolving some key theoretical issues in human rights; how the social science analysis and methods of the capabilities approach can clarify human rights concepts and strengthen human rights advocacy; and how human rights norms can strengthen public policy and mobilize collective action to demand greater accountability in placing human priorities first in public policy. Human Rights and the Capabilities Approach raises many questions for further inter-disciplinary conversation and further research.
This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, and has been expanded with two additional articles from this journal and a new foreword by Professor Amartya Sen.
The Handbook on Human Development (edited with Shiva Kumar) New Delhi: Oxford University Press (third edition, earlier editions titled Readings in Human Development), 2008
Among the most influential ideas that have shaped development thinking in recent years is the concept of human development. The perspective is particularly critical in today's world as we collectively think of solutions to end global poverty, promote human security and establish a just and peaceful society for all.
This volume brings together the collection of papers that have shaped the human development approach with its set of concepts, measurement tools, and policy perspectives. The volume is divided into four sections: conceptual foundations, measurement, policy explorations, and new frontiers addressing the political dimensions of human development. The original contributions, so ably put together by the contributors, will stimulate thinking and action.
The Gene Revolution: GM Crops and Unequal Development. London: Earthscan, Editor and main contributor, 2007
Whether or not to embrace GM technologies is a fundamental and politically charged question facing humanity in the 21st century, particularly in light of rapidly growing populations and the unknown future impacts of climate change.
The Gene Revolution is the first book to bridge the gap between the naysayers and cheerleaders and look at the issues and complexities facing developing and transitional countries over decisions about GM in light of the reality of what is happening on the ground. The first part of the volume looks at the rise of GM crops, commercialization and spread of the technology and the different positions of the USA and the European Union on the GM question and the effect of global markets. The second part consists of perspectives from Argentina, Brazil, China, India and South Africa, which provide insight into the profound challenges these countries face and the hard choices that have to be made. The final part takes the analysis a step further by comparing developing and transitional country experiences, and charts a future course for government policy on GM that supports growth, sustainability and
equity for the many billions of people affected worldwide.
Human Insecurity in a Global World. (edited with L. Chen and E. Seidensticker) Global Equity Initiative, Harvard University. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2003
The decade of the 1990s witnessed enormous changes in the international environment. The Cold War conclusively ended. Biotechnology and communications technology made rapid advances. Barriers to international trade and investment declined. Taken together, these developments created many opportunities for peace and prosperity.
At the same time, with the end of superpower domination, ethnically based intranational conflicts brought on widespread suffering. And while globalization expanded opportunity, growth, and incomes, it increased inequality of incomes and decreased human security. Moreover, as countries have become more closely linked, insecurity in one country has affected security in other countries.
Capacity for Development: Old Problems, New Solutions. (.pdf) (edited with K. Malik and C. Lopes) London. Earthscan, 2002
Capacity for Development brings together innovative and well-supported studies of technical cooperation along with its potential to build sustainable capacities in developing countries, by enhancing the knowledge, skills and productive aptitudes of their populations. A team of eminent development professionals and economists examine the achievements of technical cooperation and offer recommendations for reform in the context of globalization, democratization, the information revolution and the growth of capacities in the South. They analyze the issues from three perspectives: ownership, capacity enablers and knowledge. The team show how the complex processes involved can be restructured to produce local involvement and empowerment, set out a normative framework for the input from society, and describe a new paradigm of knowledge for capacity building in the network age. This book will be essential reading for all development professionals and policy-makers, as well as providing an invaluable research and teaching resource.

#331711 - 03/30/07 04:07 PM POLL: Hapkido and arts influenced by Hapkido.
I have threaded here in the past about Hapkido and the arts associated with it. I just thought I would put this up, seemed like a natural thing to do.
If you study Hapkido, or any of the arts that have been influenced by it, then please complete the poll. If you fill in other, please feel free to say what you have trained in.
NB I am aware of the origins of some of these arts, such as Hwa Rang Do & Kuk Sool Won, are disputed. However, the creators of all the arts here have studied Hapkido, and it clearly has had an influence on their art. As such, for the sake of this poll, I am considering them as being arts that are derived from Hapkido (if not entirely, then at least in a sizeable part).
Our Taekwondo was heavily influenced with Hapkido; what type I could not tell you. Self defense for sure with a lot of joint manipulation. Throws, trips, sweeps and falling techniques with grappling. This has all of course progress with further influences from JJJ, BJJ and some MMA.
My AKK instructor was also black belt level in both TKD and Hapkido, so we learned bits and pieces of it. But I do not know specifically what style it was.
I have the 24 volume Hwa rang do video course. Does that count as studying Hwa rang do?
I was trained in TKD (Kukkiwon) Hapkido (heavily influenced by Tomiki Aikijujitsu) and Kyokushinkai in the 70's by Grandmaster Dr. Dae Shik Kim...while he was a Professor at UT Austin. .at the time I was Dr. Kim's senior student....Dr. Kim was trained by Tomiki in Aikijujitsu and had about 110 tech. all practical in application.
Welcome to the forums Thorne, it is always a pleasure to have a new perspective on the site.
im 1st dan in hapkido and from what i know my master Jameel.A.Hussain told me hapkido was founded by Jae Nam Myong so wat kind of hapkido is this cause i hear some ppl say it was discovered by someone else so im kinda confused and i already that there are other types of hapkido so which one is this im really curious and confused.
Hapkido was founded by Choi Yong Sul when he returned to Korea after WW2 from Japan, where he spent about 30 years learning some form of Aikijujutsu.
Try this one. There are some very knowledgeable people here. As for our origin, past Choi there are several great practitioners that have taken HKD to the next level and that is kinda where the list came from. As for myself, my Gm studied under Choi for a long time, but received his 9th dan under Ji. The HKD my Gm teaches is his flavor, his interpretation so I would have to check other. The basic/core techniques and principles of HKD are pretty much the same where ever you go. It is each teachers interpretation and preference of execution of techniques that differ.
The list doesn't include some of the biggest groups. Some listed are kwans. Some are organizations.
You really should include the KHF or its preceeding organizations the Korea Hapkido Association and the Republic of Korea Hapkido Association as they were by far the largest organizations. Many of the Kwans descend from here.
The biggest early players were Ji's Sung Moo Kwan (KHA), Kim Moo Hong's Shin Moo Kwan (Korean Hapkido Association) and Myong Jae Nam's (Hapki Association). They joined to make the Rep of Korea HKD Assoc for a while.
The earliest group was the one founded by Suh Bok Sup's Yu Sool Kwan.
The Mool Sool Kwan was founded by Won Kwang-Hwa who was a student of Suh's, then Choi then taught at Kim Moo Hong's school.
The Kido Association was another important organization fournded by Choi and eventually taken control of by the Kuk Sool Kwan group which descended from the original Kuk Sool Kwan of the KHA.
Kim Jung Yoon who had the senior most position under Choi in the original Kido Assoc. Later founded his own art called han pul.
Korean Hapki Association - Later the IHF- although Myung Jae Nam was a student of Ji's he helped form his own very large association which was directly influenced by Japanese aikido. Later he founded the less influential Hankido.
Han Mu Do is Kimm He-Young's group who was taught by Won Kwang-hwa and Ji Han Jae. He also trained with In-Hyuk Suh and represented Kuk Sool Won. He combined his knowledge of Bi-Sool, hapkido judo and kuk sool together to make Han Mu Do.

Mango Moon by Diane de Anda. Illustrated by Sue Cornelison
Mixed Media, Book, For Kids
Sonya VanderVeen Feddema
On the last night Papi is home before being taken away, he and his daughter Maricela look at the full moon. Papi calls it a mango moon because its bright orange color reminds him of a slice of mango.
Now that Papi has been taken, Maricela watches the moon by herself as worries crowd her mind. Soon, life changes dramatically for Maricela's family—Mama has to get another job, so Maricela and her younger brother, Manuel, are left alone after school; the family has to move in with relatives because they can't afford the rent anymore; and Papi isn't there to do all the things he used to do, such as coaching Maricela's soccer team and pushing her on the swing.
As Maricela struggles to understand why Papi was sent away, Mama explains that he "just didn't have papers." Now, Maricela is really afraid. Will she be sent away, too? Mama explains that Maricela and Manuel were born in the United States, so they won't be deported.
As Maricela deals with her sorrow, she finds comfort when Mama tells her, "Love is like the orange moon, that Papi and I feel it's glow no matter where we are."
Sue Cornelison's emotionally engaging illustrations bring to life the pain that forced separation causes one child and her family. Many people living in the United States' current political context also are facing this. Christian parents who read this book with their children will have an opportunity to talk to them about offering Christ's love, compassion, and support to hurting people. (Albert Whitman & Company)

These are interesting times for the UK decommissioning sector. There is no doubt we are undergoing a transition.
While new work is being undertaken and is benefiting from the learnings experienced from the growing knowledge base from executed projects, the sector contends with significant challenge as the wider industry landscape continues to throw up uncertainties.
In contrast with 2018-2020, decommissioning plans for 2021 onwards are noticeably less defined, with trending delays suggesting that rather than the previously predicted single peak of activity around 2025, we will see a lower, but fluctuating, level of annual activity until 2030.

City Stars relishing life at the top
By Joseph Saasia For Citizen Digital Published on: December 02, 2020 04:31 (EAT)
Nairobi City Stars chief executive officer Patrick Korir says their main priority in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League is to maintain consistency, and safeguard their place in the top division.
City earned promotion back to the top-tier after a superb campaign in the National Super League and they have made their case known after they edged Nzoia 2-0 in their opening match on Sunday.
"Our target is to make City Stars a stable Premier League outfit, one that will develop young players to a national level with the aim of transferring some players to clubs abroad," Korir told Citizen Digital.
"We will stay focused and humble. It's great to be back as it has been a long time out without football. We are happy to be back in the Premier League after four years," he added.
"We prepared well against Nzoia and we want to take it game by game."
Meanwhile head coach Sanjin Alagic has praised the changes the club underwent before the start of the new season that has brought stability and good results.
"The club restructured and became very stable and organized and we are happy to continue with what we started then into the new seasons," the Bosnian said.
"We want fans to be aware of this and we are asking them for their support as we journey in the Premier League," he added.
City Stars play KCB in their next assignment and the Bosnian is upbeat his boys will deliver results.

The big picture: Why ad targeting is shifting from background to interests

Speaking at Nielsen's Consumer 360 Summit in Washington, executives from brands, publishers and non-profits agree that using traditional demographics, such as race and religion, to target advertisements to people is often less effective than targeting people by their diverse interests, such as movies and hobbies.
Why it matters: Data-based marketing has made this type of targeting possible. In the past, placing TV or newspaper ads allowed marketers to target by age, gender and location. Today, there are many more targeting opportunities, and more diverse targeting can be more effective.
Data: Nielsen; Chart: Axios Visuals
By the numbers: A whopping 71% of real total expenditures growth from 2005-2015 came from ethnically-diverse consumers, according to Nielsen's Consumer Expenditure Study.
Today, 21 of 25 of the most populated U.S. counties are a multicultural majority. And 44% of multicultural millennials choosing to live in the Top 10 Nielsen Demographic Marketing Areas (DMAs), including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Houston.
Multicultural millennials who are active on their mobile devices spend over $65 billion per year — with an increasing majority of those dollars being spent online. They also influence more than $1 trillion in total CPG and entertainment spending.
"The definition of cultural ID is changing," says Maya Peterson, Director, Creative Strategy, Viacom's marketing services team, Velocity. "It's not just a thing you're born with, like race or religion, but it's really about passion, interests and hobbies."
Peterson says a survey Viacom conducted found that found consumers are least passionate about the qualities they born with, but rather they pick "passions" and interests to identify themselves with. "As marketers, we need to be more fluid in ways define this generation."
Dual identities is also prevalent within this generation, says Lia Silkworth, SVP of Insights and Consumer Development at Telemundo. "We have to acknowledge and understand that people have plural identities in this country." She cites a consumer who identifies equally as being English and Pakistani.
Understanding sentiment around culture is important too, says Grant Schneider, Chief Strategy Officer of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. GLAAD, he said, commissioned a survey to learn how comfortable people are with the gay community — to target them based on their comfort levels, not their own identity.
Our cultural assumptions inform our algorithms, says Edwin Wong, SVP of Research and Insights at Buzzfeed. Wong says that marketers often assume that programmatic targeting is binary: "Are you a man or a woman?" But many people don't identify with gender or other qualities as being one or another, but rather being somewhere on a sliding scale or a spectrum.
"Our algorithms and statements use historical data to target, and if we don't understand the consumer, what does it mean about our algorithms? Our programmatic advertising? Who exactly are we targeting?" he said.


of the poorest communities in Uganda.
Next Ride 15th June 2019!
Water tanks and wells help overcome the problems caused by drought.
Our work helps to provide basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter to those who can't afford it.
The next ride will be on Saturday 15th June 2019 - a trip to the seaside! A round trip from Clevedon to Burnham-on-Sea.
Uganda is a country plagued by drought and we help provide a reliable source of water through tanks and wells.
We support Ugandan communities by raising money for aid projects through the challenge of cycling.
Each year we take to the roads on our bikes, tackling some of the challenges that the North Somerset and Bristol area has to offer to raise money for projects in Uganda. Our inaugural ride in 2014 saw us completing the whole 88 miles of the Avon Cycleway and raised over £6,000 for the Namisindwa Orphanage. In recent years we have raised funds to install water collection systems using guttering and water tanks to provide a reliable source of water to drought susceptible communities.
We cycle in one large group, helping and encouraging each other as we ride and enjoy a day of working together to help others. You are most welcome to join us for our next ride and help us to make life a little better for some of those who live in Uganda.
Cycling for Uganda since 2014!
In our first year 35 cyclists tackled the Avon Cycleway, the 88 mile National Cycle Route 410, around Bristol.
A shorter ride than previous years, but with five of the biggest hills in North Somerset to conquer it was far from easy!
Returning to the format of our first adventure we completed all 88 miles of the Avon Cycleway again with 50 cyclists!
Tackling the Avon Cycleway in the clockwise direction, with an optional century ride for the faster riders!
You are welcome to join us for our next ride and help us to raise funds for Uganda through personal sponsorship. If you don't feel able to cycle, then there are still ways to support us. The easiest way is to make a donation through our BT MyDonate page. It's secure, allows you to Gift Aid your donation and BT take no commission other than deducting the fees charged to them by the banks. You can like our FaceBook page, or tell your friends about us. We are also grateful for volunteers to help on the day to provide food, transport and support.

Who Are Cycle For Uganda?
We are members of a church based in Clevedon, near Bristol in the UK and some of us have travelled to Uganda on missionary work. During our work we have seen the poor conditions that many communities there live in, and to help improve those conditions we started an annual cycle challenge to raise funds and hopefully make some of their lives that little bit more tolerable.
It is the people who are involved in Cycle For Uganda that make it the great ride that it is though. The cycle ride has been extremely well supported by the cyclists, family and friends, with up to 50 cyclists taking part, and a growing number of cyclists come back year after year. There are also a large number of people who support the ride through their administrative support or help with providing food, accomodation and transport on the day. We also owe our success to the hundreds of generous people who have sponsored the cyclists.
Without them all we wouldn't be able to Cycle For Uganda.
