Conflict, Violence and Security

The effects of insecurity, violence and conflict are devastating. Violence kills, maims and displaces people, reinforces inequalities and creates barriers to economic and human development. IDS’ work provides a nuanced and realistic understanding of the relationship between violence, conflict, security and development with the aim of helping policymakers, practitioners and citizens build peace, prevent conflict and reduce poverty.

IDS research examines the multiple layers and contexts in which violence manifests – from household to state and global level – and pin points the links and overlaps between these layers. We seek to understand how people live and interact in contexts of conflict and violence, and which institutions best support them.

Our research findings are used to develop policies and practices that strengthen people’s efforts to secure their own lives and livelihoods and improve the functioning of political institutions responsible for security and the management and prevention of conflict.

IDS has a pedigree of pioneering work on expanding citizen action in violent contexts. Our research shifts the analysis of fragility and chronic violence from one focused on the state to a more citizen-centred perspective. Our research on gender-based violence focuses on the power of collective action to change attitudes, norms and behaviours.

Another focal area is the dynamics of policy processes around conflict, violence and security examining the key framing and narratives. Our research focuses on non-traditional forms of security, especially linked to water, energy, food and health as well as post conflict and state building issues affecting service delivery and livelihoods. The encounter between global governance security development concerns, local kinds of knowledge and security brokers, and the role of emerging powers is central to our analysis.

Our work on this conflict, security and violence forms part of a broader IDS focus on building inclusive, secure societies.

IDS manages the Households in Conflict Network which brings together researchers interested in the micro level analysis of the relationship between violent conflict and household welfare.

In addition, IDS hosts the Addressing and Mitigating Violence programme which is funded by the UK Department for International Development. This flagship programme will generate practical policy options for states and citizens so they can better address and mitigate violence in both rural and urban settings.

IDS also hosts the Global Drug and Development Policy Roundup, which brings together researchers and policy-makers from across the world to address the nexus between illicit drugs, drug policy and drug-trafficking, on the one hand, and socioeconomic development, human rights and citizen security on the other.

‘Seeing’ Conflicts at the Margins: Understanding Community Experiences Through Social Research and Digital Narrative in Kenya and Madagascar

In a context of unprecedented investment in natural resource developments, this project bridges the social sciences, the humanities and community-based participatory research to ask how different ‘communities’ of actors ‘see’ and experience resource conflicts in Kenya and Madagascar.

Book Review: Off the Page by Samantha Van Leer and Jodi Picoult

Delilah and Oliver shouldnt be together. But they are together. And just as theyre getting used to the possibility that happily ever after may really, truly be theirs, the universe sends them a message they cant ignore: they wont be allowed to rewrite their story. Delilah and Oliver must decide how much theyre willing to risk for love and what it takes to have a happy ending in a world where the greatest adventures happen off the page.

Release Date: May 2015
Age Group: YA
Source: Publisher
Reviewed by: Madi B

I LOVED the first book to this story, Between the Lines. I was a freshmen and IN LOVE with it. The concept of a girl and a character falling in love and trying to be together was so creative and relatable to my little bookworm self.

Off the Page was about the aftermath of their happily ever after. Oliver was trying to go to high school, Delilah was trying to be his girlfriend, and everyone else was freaking out. Then the book starts trying to reverse what they did in the first book.

Off the Page has a magical element to it but whats different about it is that if there are any rules, they are unknown. Delilah is trying to figure out how the book works just like we are. They try all these schemes to let Oliver stay in the real world and what I dont like is that there are no rules to govern what will work and what wont. So every scheme feels like its going to work and then theres some far-fetched explanation for why it doesnt. Maybe this bothers me because Im older and need more explanations for things. I really liked seeing more of Oliver and especially seeing Oliver in the real world. Hes this fairy tale prince shoved into a pair a jeans and a t-shirt and his interactions with other people are hilarious.

To me, Delilah was not thankful enough for Oliver. She was always annoyed when he would mess up and insecure about him leaving her. I feel like her character could have been done a little better. The book was very cheesy and sweet and a tad cliche. Okay, a lot cliche. But its well written and the plot line is well thought out.

What made this book readable for me was Frumo and Seraphima and Edgar and his mom. Their relationships really brought dimension that this book really needed. Take into account that I am judging this book harshly because I had such high expectations. I really thought hard about why I wasnt completely in love with it so I got a bit nitpick-y. Overall I think this book is best for ages 12-16. Its sweet and lighthearted and impossible to put down once you pick it up.

  1. This book has an interesting premise... I might have to start with the first one. Great review!

Though symptoms of postpartum OCD vary for each mother, most women describe having terrifying thoughts related to harm being done to the newborn infant.  In some instances, sufferers report intrusive thoughts about accidental harm happening to their baby, while others involve unwanted thoughts of their intentionally harming the newborn.  The biggest difference between a mother with postpartum OCD and a mother with postpartum psychosis is that a mother with postpartum OCD is still in touch with reality and she knows that she has no intention of ever following through with any of her scary thoughts.

Due to these obsessive thoughts, women develop “compulsions” to try to stop these very painful thoughts from coming into her head.  Some common examples of these protective compulsions are:

·         Excessively checking on the baby

·         Praying over and over to prevent a disastrous outcomes

·         Hiding or throwing out knives, scissors, and other sharp objects

·         Avoiding changing soiled diapers for fear of sexually abusing a child

·         Avoiding feeding a child for fear of accidentally poisoning him / her

·         Repeatedly asking family members for reassurance that no harm or abuse has been committed against the baby

·         Avoidance of certain foods, medications, or normal, everyday activities for fear of harming the fetus

·         Monitoring self for perceived inappropriate sexual arousal

·         Avoiding news articles and TV shows related to child abuse or infanticide

About Our Community

The international game development community is strongest when its members work together and speak with one voice. Through the IGDA, game developers can learn and share knowledge, build relationships, and learn new skills, while helping to shape the future of the global game industry. Our goal is for this community to be a valuable resource for anyone passionate about game development, from an indie designer sketching level designs on a napkin to a triple-A team on their third sequel. The IGDA provides several ways for both individuals and organizations to get involved:

IGDA chapters connect game developers in their local communities. Professional and Academic Chapters hold guest speaker lectures, social gatherings, planning meetings, game jams, and other events in over 100 cities around the world. Our chapters are one of the easiest ways for IGDA members to meet others to learn, teach, or collaborate close to home. Don't see a chapter in your area? Learn how to start one!

Special Interest Groups

The IGDA special interest groups (SIGs) will help you connect with others who are interested in a particular topic or specialists in a specific discipline. SIG members work together to teach and learn from each other, promote their specialties, identify new technical or aesthetic challenges, and advance the art and industry of game design.

IGDA Scholars are the most promising students studying game development and related fields. and are selected via a rigorous application process. Scholars benefit from the guidance of industry professionals, and receive free access to industry events, such as the Game Developer's Conference. IGDA Scholarships are an opportunity for talented students to get a head start in the competitive world of professional game development.

FYI: Persona 4 Golden on PS Vita Getting Discounted

Didn’t buy it yet? Now might be the time.

Today, IGN can confirm that Persona 4 Golden – the critical hit Vita JRPG – will be given a price cut for a two week period, both at retail stores and on the PlayStation Network. Atlus provided us with the following comment:

Beginning March 19 for two weeks, the critically acclaimed RPG Persona 4 Golden (PlayStation Vita) is on sale for $10 off the retail price online and in stores, including Amazon, EB Games, GameStop, PlayStation Network and other participating retailers. The sale price applies only to new copies of the game. This is the first time new copies of the game are being offered below its initial retail price of $39.99.

Exit Theatre Mode

In other words, the game will cost $30 instead of $40.

We loved Persona 4 Golden here at IGN -- we gave it a 9.3 -- and simply wanted to give you a heads-up in case you were planning on purchasing the game at some point, since you can save a few bucks in the next couple of weeks.

Colin Moriarty is an IGN PlayStation editor. You can follow him on Twitter and IGN and learn just how sad the life of a New York Islanders and New York Jets fan can be.

Twitch CEO Admits 'We Screwed Up' With New Policies

"This was our bad."

Twitch's CEO has responded to criticism over the way the video streaming service introduced new policies affecting copyrighted music in videos.

Emmett Shear took to Reddit to do an AMA following criticism of the audio recognition technology that's been introduced to tackle unlicensed music in VODs. His chief purpose was to reassure fans that no such feature will be introduced to the livestreaming section of the site, and systems are being put in place to enable appeals should ambient and in-game music from games be wrongly flagged.

Exit Theatre Mode

"We have no intention whatsoever of bringing audio-recognition to live streams on Twitch. This is a VOD-only change for Twitch," he said. "We have zero intention of flagging original in-game music.

"We do intend to flag copyrighted in-game music that's in Audible Magic's database. (This was unclear in the blog post, my apologies). In the cases where in-game music is being flagged incorrectly, we are working on a resolution and should have one soon. False positive flags will be unmuted."

Shear apologised about the poor communication stressing, "This was our bad." He also made clear that only two percent of video views on Twitch will be affected by the change, with 20 percent of VODs coming under fire.

Exit Theatre Mode

The AMA was supplemented by a blog post, which explained the maximum time limit of highlights will be removed, along with the news that an appeal button is being added so you can challenge any videos that you believe have been muted incorrectly.

"We recognise that the system is not yet perfect. We want to make this system as fair and unobtrusive as possible, and we greatly appreciate your help," it reads.

Seeing as yesterday saw one of Twitch's own videos muted along with replays of Dota 2's The International Championships, it seems Twitch itself will be making use of the button as well.

Luke Karmali is IGN UK News Editor. You too can revel in mediocrity by following him on Twitter.

EditMusical Easter Egg

In World at War you will unlock an achievement by doing this called, "Dead Air." All you have to do is activate a phone in the Comm room. To activate it, click X (Xbox 360), Square (PS3), or F (PC) three times on the phone. The song is called "The One," sung by Elena Siegman and composed by Kevin Sherwood.

This Easter Egg has several Radios hidden throughout Shi No Numa. All you have to do is activate them by pressing X (Xbox 360), Square (PS3), or F (PC) on each radio. The first three radios in the starting room must all be activated to work. There's supposed to be a new message on Black Ops, but I haven't been able to get it to play. You may need to have four players to get it to work. I'll update when I find out. The other radios are in the Storage Hut and the Doctor's Quarters

This Easter Egg can be found in the Storage area of the map "Shi No Numa." Look to the right of the area for a big molten rock. This is the meteor that contains the Element 115. Shoot it to get a bit of dialogue from each character.

Below is the first of a five-Part RTI investigation series Sandeep did on how politicians use public sector undertakings (PSUs) as cash vending machines. The investigation details how leaders across party lines use their official position to cull monetary favours from PSUs to fund organisations with which they are directly or indirectly associated. After the story was published, several PSUs issued circulars saying that money should not be released on the request of MPs unless it directly benefits the PSU.

It took Sandeep six months to get all the RTI replies from various PSUs and that too after numerous first appeals. Once he got the replies, he investigated further and found connections between the politicians and the organisations for which they were seeking funds

Part 2: RTI Investigation: How Vijay Darda used power ministry to further his business interests

Part 3: RTI Investigation: How ministers milk PSUs for ads and sponsorships

Part 4: RTI Investigation: Corruption allegations surface against a BJP MP

Part 5: RTI Investigation: PSUs are an easy pool of money for politicians to dip into

Conversation with Sandeep: A Report

Bangalore: The key to Sandeep Pai’s success is “persistence, method and hope,” the award-winning investigative journalist told a crowd of journalists and students yesterday.

An alumnus of the Indian Institute of Journalism & New Media (IIJNM) and winner of the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Investigative Journalism Award, Sandeep, who is widely known by just his first name, discussed the evolution of his five-part investigation of politicians’ alleged use of public sector undertakings (PSUs) as cash vending machines.

“A Conversation with Sandeep,” was held in the auditorium of Alliance Franciase with K.S. Dakshina Murthy, an independent journalist who was a part of the editorial team that launched the English version of Al-Jazeera website and who is currently an adjunct professor at IIJNM.

In the hour-long discussion, Sandeep talked about his use of the Right to Information (RTI) Act to request information for his stories. (See links to the stories below.)

Sandeep has worked with the special investigative teams of bothethe Hindustan Times and DNA and is now an independent journalist pursuing his masters degree via the European Commission’s at Erasmus Mundus Scholarship programme.

“There were a lot of challenges that I faced when I started researching and writing this story. A lot of discouragements from various people came my way; some of my editors knocked down the story,” said Sandeep. “But persistence, method and hope were the keys to my story being successful and being published.”

Sandeep also said that there are many who might discourage the idea of doing an RTI story but there are also many who encourage it as well. “So, never lose hope!” he said.

On Nov. 6, 2016, Sandeep received the Ramnath Goenka Excellence in Investigative Journalism Award, presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in New Delhi. The investigative award is given to a journalist “whose report investigates an issue of public interest to reveal and aspect/element which has not yet been covered/explored in the media,” according to Indian Express Group, sponsors of the annual awards named after its founder.

During yesterday’s event, Sandeep also spoke about hardships faced in the world of journalism and how one has to push through their stories in order to get them published. “Pushing your story and believing in your story is really important,” he said.

After the talk, the audience engaged in an interactive question-and-answer session. One audience participant, who identified herself as an aspiring journalist, noted that “digital media is sometimes not able to keep up with print media” in terms of providing up-to-date and accurate information.

CITATION: Mwangi, T., Ngui, T., Kirori, G., N. (2017) Influence of Training On Employee Performance in The Education Sector in Kenya: Case of The Teachers’ Service Commission. International Journal of Human Resources and Procurement. Vol. 6 (10) pp 171 – 189.

Organizational performance depends on the employee performance besides other factors. In this respect, the performance of the employees is very paramount. The performance of the employees can be improved through improving their skills, knowledge and competence. These three can be improved through training among others. The main purpose of this study was to examine the influence of training on employee performance in the education sector in Kenya and with specific reference to the Teacher Service Commission. This study was guided by the following research objectives: to examine the influence of employees’ skills, knowledge and competence on employee performance. Descriptive research design was used in the study. The target population comprised of 1379 employees working at the Teacher Service Commission. The sample size was 150 respondents. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive analysis with the use of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer software. The findings revealed that there is strong positive correlation between employee skills (0.7), knowledge (0.6) and competence (0.7) and employee performance. The study recommends that there is need for a review to be made in the form of training which is being provided by TSC to its employees. The institute should ensure that the training sessions are structured in a way that they fully address the overall needs of its employees so as to avoid the situations whereby there are some employees who feel they are totally left out in the training programs since they do not obtain any benefit. There is need for evaluations to be carried out by the TSC on the training needs of the employees.

Key Words: Employees’ skills, Employees’ knowledge, Employees’ competence, Employee performance, Teacher Service Commission

Following the traditions of generations of great painters, Pauline Bradshaw has dedicated many years to the intensive study of classical art. As a student, she was granted rare access to HRH Queen Elizabeth II’s private library at Windsor Castle to research and copy selected old master drawings.
“I'm inspired by classical drawings and paintings from the legendary 19th century French and British ateliers. There was a compelling dedication to technique and uncompromising craftsmanship in their work. My training has allowed me to continue in this tradition and I try to convey this passion in my work.”
She paints a meticulous representation of reality with immense subtlety in composition and technique.  Ordinary objects are elevated to a poetic awareness. In still-life, there is a suggestion of deep space in opposition to the familiar foreground objects. In figurative works, edges are endlessly interesting to create a visual dialogue.
Bradshaw passes along her extensive knowledge of academic techniques in private studio classes and workshops including the National Gallery of Canada. Her paintings and drawings can be found in private collections in Canada, the United States, Britain and Italy. She is a member of the “Society of Canadian Artists”, the “International Guild of Realism” and is an inaugural member of the group of Canadian realist painters “The Group of Twelve”. Pauline has appeared on Bravo television's 'Star Portraits'.

Biomarkers in Drug Development

The biomarkers that are likely to have the earliest beneficial impact on clinical trials fall into two general categories, those that will allow targeting of subjects most likely to either respond and/or progress (prognostic value) within a reasonable and manageable time frame for a clinical study (for instance within 1–2 years for an OA trial), and those that provide early feedback for preclinical decision-making and for trial organizers that a drug is having the desired biochemical effect. As in vitro biomarkers are increasingly investigated in the context of specific drug treatments, advances in the field can be expected that will lead to rapid expansion of the list of available biomarkers with increasing understanding of the molecular processes that they represent.

What We Are

What We Are

The world needs more impolite company

You know the saying: If you don’t want strife, the three things you shouldn’t discuss in polite company are Religion, Politics, and Money (There’s one more most Americans would add: Sex).

But where does that silence leave us? It doesn’t further understanding. It doesn’t advance the intellectual landscape. It doesn’t challenge the status quo. It doesn’t agitate for radical empathy. It doesn’t change the way people see, feel, or experience the world or each other.

Great art needs to do all of these things. It exists to do them. To speak about religion, politics, money, sex, or any sensitive subject, it requires one put more important things ahead of being polite. Of being liked. Of being celebrated.

It requires that one be Impolite, if necessary. Truth, authenticity, respect, growth, integrity, love, and compassion are more important than courtesy.

We’re motivated by a fundamental need in our society to stop being polite when polite means being quiet. We’re going to talk about hard things because that’s what our society needs. We’re going to be adults, and talk like adults, and face issues like adults, because that’s what our world deserves. We’re not going to be rude – and we’d love to come over for dinner! – But fair warning: we make for Impolite Company

"You guys are doing awesome work over there.  I'm excited to see what's next..."

The Magnificent Flatirons of Boulder, Colorado

The Mighty Flatirons

Five angular rock formations form a distinctive backdrop for the quirky town of Boulder. Originally called the Chautauqua Slabs or the Crags, the Flatirons were ultimately named by pioneer women who thought the uplifted peaks resembled the flat, metal irons used to press their clothes. The rugged beauty attracts hikers and photographers while geologists take great interest in the conglomerate sandstone. They say the arrangement was forced upwards and tilted about 45 million years ago. It’s a Mecca for rock climbers as some of the world’s best have refined their skills on the rocky outcrops.

Upon entering the park, a lush green meadow was dotted with pink and yellow wildflowers. Backlit by the evening sun, the peaks were a dark violet. We approached the First Flatiron via the steep Chautauqua Trail and began climbing the east face. The hard rock was warm and sticky which provided excellent traction. Curious chipmunks watched as we strained to reach the natural ledges and handholds. It took tremendous effort to get part way up but as the darkness descended so did we.

I revisited the place a couple of days later. This time the Flatirons appeared golden yellow in the morning light. I followed the Bluebell Road Trail because it parallels the mountain range and I was able to study the shark’s tooth profile from a better perspective. As for wildlife, I watched a mule deer bound across the grassy hillside and noisy magpies dodged my camera everytime I aimed it at them. I ascended into the forest, navigated a maze of shady loops and returned to the open meadow.

When I got back to the busy trailhead, a couple from Wisconsin was asking a ranger for instructions on how to get to the Royal Arch. She pointed them in the right direction and offered some good advice for hiking in the Rocky Mountains; pace yourself and take plenty of water.

Wildflowers dotted the meadow

The peaks have been uplifted and tilted

We climbed part way up the First Flatiron

Noisy magpies dodged my camera

There are five angular rock formations

It's a Mecca for rock climbers

The peaks resemble flat, metal irons

The Flatirons are a distinctive backdrop for Boulder

  1. Replies
    1. It's a great workout just to reach the base of the Flatirons. We only climbed part-way up and I was sweating like crazy. It was fun, I like doing that kind of stuff.

Does the Obsessive ‘Adventure Time’ Fandom Overlook the Depths of Pendleton Ward’s Cartoon Network Hit?

Does the Obsessive 'Adventure Time' Fandom Overlook the Depths of Pendleton Ward's Cartoon Network Hit?

Not too long ago, “Adventure Time” was a quirky program on Cartoon Network with a steady cult following. Now in its fifth season, the animated effort based on a 2008 short by creator Pendleton Ward — in which adolescent Finn and his talking dog pal Jake going on fantastical trips through the bizarrely colorful post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo — has started to look like one of the biggest television phenomenons of the decade. At New York Comic Con last weekend, dozens of attendees outfitted like characters from the show could be spotted throughout the massive Javitz Center. Ward and his colleagues received a rock star welcome at their panel. But does the bulk of the enthusiastically obsessive “Adventure Time” fandom miss the depths of the show, ones that likely have nothing to do with its ascension to blockbuster heights?

“Adventure Time” first garnered attention when Ward, formerly an animator on “The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack,” released a 2008 short that went viral. Though Finn was named Penn at the time, much of the show’s central appeal was evident in the wonderfully bizarre mixture of irreverent references, songs and videogame-like showdowns, all of which suggested a stoner’s meandering perception of Saturday Morning cartoon aesthetics. Even so, it was wholly consistent work of singular vision. Since then, the breakout hit has developed into something considerably more advanced: With each 10-minute episode, Ward has built out and complicated the Land of Ooo, deepening the back stories of its characters and directly confronting aspects of its dangerous ingredients without losing that constant goofiness.

No matter how silly it gets, however, “Adventure Time” is teeming with thoughtful nuances, bold innuendo and bonafide genre-based storytelling. The blend of advanced subtext, bafflingly surreal tangents and nonsensical asides makes it hard to pin down the show’s precise appeal — but you can’t dispute the outlandish comic timing, lovable characters and insanely catchy songs, all of which help explain the devoted fan base, even if the very people involved in making “Adventure Time” a reality still haven’t quite figured it out.

“I am completely confused about what’s going on in the Land of Ooo until a fan explains it to me,” said John DiMaggio, who provides Jake with his chilled out delivery on the show, during an NYCC panel on Saturday. Even if one turns to the sprawling fan-made “Adventure Time” wiki for assistance, it’s a tough universe to sort through: Ooo is a magical and mysterious place populated by mutant princesses, Korean unicorns, zombie businessmen, portals to other dimensions and many, many other seemingly random events and characters that have been fused into a beguiling whole without ever appearing fully complete.

One look at show creator Ward helps to explaining the prevalent weirdness: A portly, bearded man who speaks in an ultra-relaxed monotone, Ward looks like he’s perpetually trapped in the tunnels of his own whimsical inspiration, and we’re all the better for it. The show’s practically a manifestation of his imagination run wild. As he explained on the NYCC panel last weekend, Ward played a lot of RPG games as a kid, while devouring graphic novels and video games, but he also admired the goofy-poignant combo of “The Simpsons.” Like that show, “Adventure Time” has garnered acclaim not only from a significant fan following but from the industry, as demonstrated by the growing list of guest voices: Ron Perlman, Wallace Shawn, Donald Glover and Steve Little have all contributed to various episodes. As the horrific dimension-hopping evil schemer known as the Lich, Perlman was at the center of a two-parter from last season that marked one of several occasions where “Adventure Time” turned into a dark, gripping and almost nightmarish experience before returning to its prevailing sweetness.

Nevertheless, a cursory glance at “Adventure Time” fandom suggests that appreciation for the show tends to fixate on the simpler ingredients above all, and much of the talent involved has embraced that. At the panel, longtime “Adventure Time” writer Rebecca Sugar (whose credits include most of the show’s favorite melodies) whipped out her ukulele while DiMaggio led the crowd in a singalong to “Bacon Pancakes,” the celebratory tune his character belts out as an ode to his favorite breakfast item.

Ward said that the writing process is about as basic as the appeal of that song. “We just write to make ourselves laugh,” he told the Comic Con crowd. “That’s all we can do.” Pushed to talk more about how he conceived of his main human character, however, he elaborated slightly by bringing up his childhood frustrations with the one-note aspects of Leonardo on the original “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” show. On the whole, he found the character too eager to please. “I wanted to make sure Finn wasn’t a sissy,” Ward said. “When you’re writing a hero, they start doing that: ‘Why isn’t everyone happy?’ You gotta pull it back and add a little wrath.”

If anything, Finn’s wrath has steadily crystalized as the show’s plot moves along. In the current season, he has endured his first breakup, with the seemingly bipolar Flame Princess, and struggled to move on. One particularly remarkable episode during this arc, entitled “Demon Train,” found Jake and Finn coming upon a moving transport filled with endless villains for the duo to battle. Adding to its metaphoric implications, it exclusively chugged along in circles. Finn’s addiction to keeping the battle going rather than fleeing the vehicle — while Jake stuck by his side despite urging his buddy to move on — resulted in a zany but touching ode to friendship, as well as one of the many occasions when the show has probed the subjective qualities of heartbreak.

Of course, if you’re an eight-year-old, maybe you just like the fun parts. “I’ve never worked on a show with such a diverse audience that likes it,” DiMaggio said on the panel. He cited a conversation during an early season with Tom Kenny, the voice of the quasi-villainous Ice King (who’s actually a former researcher named Simon Petrikoff driven insane by the mystical crown glued to his head, but we’re getting away from ourselves). DiMaggio told Kenny that he, like so many people who have stumbled upon “Adventure Time” in recent years, simply didn’t get it. Kenny put it simply: “It’s this generation’s ‘Yellow Submarine.'”

Next: “We’re playing Dungeons & Dragons when we write the show.”

Ward himself has relished the opportunity to explore the odd, inexplicable qualities that put “Adventure Time” on the map. “As the show became more successful, I could pull it into weirder directions, which I think has made the show more popular,” he said on the panel. Of course, dedicated viewers see more than that — they see a mythology, one that stretches across thousands of years and many generations of events that led the Land of Ooo to its fantastical state. Ward says they’re making it up as they go, but that doesn’t devalue the mythological dimensions of the plot. “The way I explain it so it’s not disappointing that the world isn’t already figured out is that we’re playing Dungeons & Dragons as we’re writing it,” he said. “We’re with those characters and figuring things out alongside them.”

Sugar added that it was all part of the same package. “I feel like the mythology really informs the fun part,” she said. “It’s so much more exciting to me when something has depth that you don’t know is going to be there. If something is fun and strange and there are reasons for that, it’s the most interesting it can be. They’re not really competing with each other.” By not conceiving of an overall game plan, she added, “Adventure Time” can keep exploring new crevices of its world indefinitely. “It’s like a galaxy,” she said. “It’s always expanding.”

Those colossal expectations haven’t kept Ward out of the spotlight, but he’s started to look overwhelmed by it. The man who voices the show’s loudmouthed, ditzy blob Lumpy Space Princess isn’t exactly shy, though he resists pressure to discuss the show in terms of the fine-tuned details that so many regular viewers like to explore. To that end, he has largely receded from public view, doing very few interviews — he did none at NYCC — and even remaining fairly coy on his Twitter account.

There’s a sense that the hype surrounding “Adventure Time” may have a detrimental effect on its inventiveness: Not unlike the obsessiveness surrounding “The Wire” (like Grantland’s “rigorous bracketological inquiry” into the best character last year) that led show creator David Simon to lament the lack of serious attention for its weighty themes, the “Adventure Time” mania obscures the complex impulses driving the quality of the series.

Of course, “Adventure Time” is asking for it. The popular ingredients have made its team of writers and artists extremely attractive to other networks and opened doors for them to advance their careers elsewhere. Sugar recently left the staff to launch her own program, “Steven Universe,” which premieres next month. Another contributor, Natasha Allegri, has launched a Kickstarter campaign for her new Cartoon Hangover effort “Bee and PuppyCat.” Contributing writer, storyboard artist and voice actor Kent Osborne told Indiewire that he received numerous offers from other networks, leading Cartoon Network to secure his commitment to “Adventure Time” by renewing his contract.

Complicating those temptations, “Adventure Time” is now a full-scale franchise. Earlier this year saw the release of an “Adventure Time” video game that Ward wrote himself, and the network oversees countless comic book series in addition to the production of mobile apps and costumes, which collectively feed the perception of “Simpsons”-level popularity in the works. For the 31-year-old Ward, it’s got to be a lot to take in at once. “I think he’s burnt out,” said Osborne, who moonlights as an actor in micro-budget indies like Joe Swanberg’s “Uncle Kent,” in a conversation with Indiewire after the Comic Con panel. “It’s hard. It takes a toll on you.”

For Osborne, however, Ward requires his space to make “Adventure Time” the sui generis entity that makes it stand out. “A lot of cartoons don’t work for me because they’re based on ideas of what people think cartoons should be,” he said, adding that most of the offers he received for other shows didn’t interest him in the least. Sugar agreed, pointing out the restrictive categories that have held back the format outside of the looser arenas like late night animation on Adult Swim and its ilk. “Animation is not a genre,” she said. “I hate when it’s treated like a genre. It exists outside of anything you’d want it to be.”

Still swept up in promoting “Adventure Time” even as she revs her engine for “Steven Universe,” the 26-year-old Sugar laid out the appeal of the program outside of its evident commerciality. “People working on the show are poets,” she said. “Penn lets them express themselves with super-interesting results. I think he’s really a poet, also. That’s what people mistake for trippiness.” She let that distinction settle before pressing on. “He’s expressing thoughts about very modern feelings that people have,” she added. “These feelings are frivolous, and that’s confusing. Good poetry is like that. Penn is letting that happen. That’s why he’s such an enigma — he’s an amazing artist.”

Global Realignment, It's Not the Dollar

Accepted Wisdom

In 2005, economists and analysts were fretting over the dollar's steady decline, wondering what the effects of a weaker dollar would be on commodities and trade. They thought the dollar's slide was the result of normal market forces.

Inference Reading

Picking Up the Critical Facts

In 2005, we were observing actions that suggested something much deeper in purpose and effect than just markets driving down the value of the dollar.

Some rather aggressive rhetoric coming from world leaders, even close allies, suggested that the U.S. was out of line politically, economically and attitudinally. An exemplary quote came from the prime minister of Luxembourg: "I think there's an underdeveloped sense of hearing in the United States."

The U.S. became the first country whose currency served as a de facto reserve currency for the world while at the same time being a net debtor nation.

We noted that in Latin America, Asia and Africa regional trade groups were taking shape, which seemed to contradict the publicly avowed interest in global free trade as institutionalized in the World Trade Organization.

Developing and resource-rich countries were increasingly making government-to-government deals (without the participation of private companies) with countries such as China and Russia.

European countries were distancing themselves from the U.S., upping the intensity of relations with Latin America and Asia.

Deductive Inference

Diagnosing the Change

We suggested the metaphor of an iceberg fitted the overall situation, wherein everyone talked about the dollar (the visible part of the iceberg above water), but the real concerns went very deep and the critical actions were out of sight (the mass of ice below the water's surface).

As Power Centers (China, Russia, Europe and the U.S.) were competing for resources and geopolitical influence, their actions were giving rise to a global Great Game that was intensifying conflicts between governing systems and that would ultimately challenge the Washington Consensus – the set of ideas that had mostly guided international markets for several decades.

As a group, these new Power Centers preferred managing their economies, overseeing their critical resources (or using government wherewithal to obtain those resources), leveraging foreign policy for economic and political advantage and managing their public messages, all of which represented challenges to the neo-liberal, "Western" model.

Inductive Inference: Identifying Areas of Impact

The "financial architecture" in place since World War II – with the IMF, World Bank and eventually the World Trade Organization at its core – would be challenged by models from the new Power Centers, and new global institutions would arise from those Power Centers. In 2007, the China-Africa Development Bank alone had ready access to more capital than the IMF and the World Bank had given out to the entire world in all of 2006.

Sovereign institutions, such as state-owned enterprises and sovereign wealth funds, would alter market dynamics, as they increasingly competed with international companies that had to show quarterly profits. These state-owned institutions, as we wrote, "were challenging the idea of profit as the primary purpose of financial institutions."

Developing-country growth, protectionism, commodity-market stresses, regionalism, government-to-government deals and lack of consensus on global economic issues all would result from this dynamic.

Introduction: Coffee, Dark Chocolate and Walnut Cookies

I love this cookie recipe! And they are even nicer dipped into a hot cup of coffee as well- double the caffeine hit! Lol!

Dark Chocolate, Coffee and Walnut Cookies (makes about 10 cookies)

90g butter
1 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tsp instant coffee
100g golden caster sugar
1 egg
½ tsp vanilla extract
150g plain flour
½ tsp baking powder
60g good quality dark chocolate, chopped into small pieces
30g walnuts, chopped into small pieces

DIY: Make This Easy Cat Toy! :)

Introduction: DIY: Make This Easy Cat Toy! :)

Hey everyone! I know Christmas is fast approaching, and I bet you're wondering what you can give to your cat for Christmas. Well, I have a solution. This easy and eco-friendly cat toy! Let's get started, shall we? Also, please supervise your cat while playing with this toy. Thanks. :)

Step 1: Grab Your Materials.

Here is what you're going to need:

-Old T-shirts in any colors

-Needle and thread

-Template (Just a basic small football shape)

Step 2: Grab Your Template...

Grab your template and your shirts. Trace around it on the fabric several times. The number of times you trace around it depends on how many toys you want to make. One toy takes 6 pieces. Pin the center of each piece so they don't slide around when you cut them out.

Step 3: Cut Your Pieces Out...

Cut them out. Pile of footballs FTW. :D

Step 4: Sew!

Sew the pieces together. You should have two half balls when you're finished. If you want, you can use your sewing machine for this but I've found that sewing small fiddly pieces with the machine is awkward, so hand sewing works best for things like this. Place the halves together and sew all around them, making sure you leave a space big enough to turn the toy right side out.

Step 5: Turn!

Turn the toy right side out and stuff it. Sew up the opening with a tiny stitch. Grab your quarter and trace around it on a scrap piece of shirt.

Step 6: Cut Out the Circles

Cut out the circles and sew them on either end of your ball, using a whip stitch. Give to your cat and enjoy! =) When I first made these, I made them from scraps of fleece. My cat loved them and hasn't stopped playing with them since. They're covered in little fuzzies from her claws though. So fleece can be used but it gets fuzzies after a while. T-shirts are a better bet because they don't get fuzzies like fleece will. If you like you can try making these with old jeans too.

Coeur D’Alene Residence by Uptic Studios

By Holly – Categories: Bedroom, Bookshelf, Dining Room, Fireplace, Furniture, Houses, Interior Design, Kitchen, Living Room, Staircase, Terrace

American architectural firm Uptic Studios has designed the Coeur D’Alene Residence.

This contemporary home was built on a steep slope in Idaho, USA, overlooking the landscape of Lake Coeur D’Alene.

Coeur D’Alene Residence by Uptic Studios:

“The goal of the Coeur D’Alene Cabin was to create a modern cabin for a couple, their kids, and their grandkids. Located on Coeur D’Alene Lake in North Idaho, we considered the combined occupancy of 3 generations, providing separate spaces for privacy in addition to common rooms that bring everyone together comfortably.

One of the driving forces behind the design was the site’s existing conditions. The property is steep and narrow with a natural spring that runs beneath the hillside. We realized you could shift the dirt anywhere and water would emerge. This resulted in the dual form approach, bridging the gap where the underground stream flows naturally.

The Cabin is centered on the notion of a large close-knit family, and each member was considered in the design. We strove to find commonalities between family members to develop an aesthetic that addressed everyone’s needs and visions.

The view from the site was an important aspect to the client and integral to the design. To maximize outdoor space and connection to the landscape, columns were absent on the deck. A steel beam system supports the cantilevered roof and allows the windows to extend to the ceiling, blurring the delineations between indoor and outdoor spaces. Large sliding doors and indoor/outdoor kitchen counters create a unique relationship between the deck and indoor common areas.”
