Privatizing Peace: From Conflict to Security

spacer

This is the first book to explore the possibilities of a such a fusion in depth. Drawing on first-hand experience of World Bank and UN initiatives, the authors pinpoint the weaknesses in the numerous peacekeeping missions of recent decades, as well as the blind spots in the thinking that guided them. Even more significantly, they clearly demonstrate the ways in which well-meaning stabilisation and reconstruction programs fail to accommodate the economic and social imperatives of war-torn societies. But this visionary work is not merely an indictment of First World myopia in the face of Third World devastation. The authors offer cogent, well-thought-out recommendations, firmly grounded in current reality, with a powerful determination to avoid the repetition of past mistakes. Among their arguments the reader will find: specific measures to quickly further the explicit ‘partnering’ arrangements between the UN and the World Bank; numerous ways in which the valuable work of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) can be integrated, avoiding the all-too-common social and market distortions caused by conspicuous humanitarian assistance; proposals for World Bank policies that will more realistically address poor governance and gross inequalities in economic distribution; procedures for private sector engagement that can quickly create a skilled workforce even in a disrupted society; the engagement of law firms to provide essential legal services in reestablishing the rule of law; and transparent regulation allowing private military organisations to temporarily assume defense and police roles when governments lose the power to protect civil society from external and internal predators.

Our Divided Political Heart: The Battle for the American Idea in an Age of Discontent

Our Divided Political Heart: The Battle for the American Idea in an Age of Discontent

spacer

Our Divided Political Heart will be the must-read book of the 2012 election campaign. Offering an incisive analysis of how hyper-individualism is poisoning the nation’s political atmosphere, E. J. Dionne Jr. argues that Americans can’t agree on who we are because we can’t agree on who we’ve been, or what it is, philosophically and spiritually, that makes us Americans. Dionne takes on the Tea Party’s distortions of American history and shows that the true American tradition points not to radical individualism, but to a balance between our love of individualism and our devotion to community.

Dionne offers both a fascinating tour of American history—from the Founding Fathers to Clay and Lincoln and on to the Populists, the Progressives and the New Dealers—and also an analysis of our current politics that shatters conventional wisdom. The true American idea, far from endorsing government inaction or indifference, has always viewed the federal government as an active and constructive partner with the rest of society in promoting prosperity, opportunity, and American greatness.

The ability of the American system to self-correct is its greatest asset and Dionne challenges progressives to embrace the American story. Our fractious but productive past offers us the resources both to rediscover the idea of progress and to put an end to our fears of decline. Our Divided Political Heart will be required reading for all who seek a path out of our current impasse.

WatchMojo Crosses 1 Billion All-Time Video Views on Strength of Record Month with 60 Million Video Streams

WatchMojo Crosses 1 Billion All-Time Video Views on Strength of Record Month with 60 Million Video Streams











WatchMojo


Montreal, Canada (PRWEB) August 28, 2012

WatchMojo, one of the largest independent producers of premium video content, reached an important milestone by generating its 1 billionth video view since launching in 2006. The company is on pace to generate over 400 million video impressions in 2012 alone, setting a single-month record in August with 60 million total video views. WatchMojo also had its best month ever on YouTube, where it launched four new vertical channels in Health, Travel, Beauty & Fashion and Lifestyle to complement its core channel that houses 6,500 of its videos and has generated 150 million all-time views. In the out-of-home market, WatchMojo generates billions of views in cabs, malls, gyms and other real-world outlets.

The Montreal-based company has survived the fickle world of online video by focusing on the production of evergreen, factual infotainment videos that cover the people, places, things, trends and events that have shaped pop culture, history, entertainment, business, sports, business, and the arts. The site also has thousands of tips on the latest fashion, style, beauty, health and culinary trends.

In all, the company’s library of 7,500 reference videos has helped WatchMojo emerge as a Wikipedia in video format, but with the major distinction of being professionally-produced by the company’s team of a dozen full-time researchers, writers, fact-checkers, hosts, videographers and editors. The site has also licensed 250 thousand videos from traditional media companies, news organizations and broadcasters for its WatchMojo.com/tv/ offering, but the core focus of the company remains the production and distribution of its own programming.

“WatchMojo has always been a contrarian bet: we created professionally-produced videos when the media was focused on user-generated content. We hired a core team of producers to ensure quality and consistency at a time when others favored a decentralized assortment of independent contractors. We’re now focusing on covering the most important topics through video – be it on people, places, things or events. While this seems impossible, it is proving feasible through our “This Day In Video” initiative,” explains CEO Ashkan Karbasfrooshan, who founded the company in 2006 after News Corp. acquired his last company AskMen. Karbasfrooshan has covered online video extensively for TechCrunch, MediaPost, PaidContent and GigaOm.

The company’s pop culture and infotainment videos are distributed widely online, in mobile, through out-of-home networks, in the living room, as well as in academia, where students, professors and educational publishers rely on the breadth, depth and quality of WatchMojo’s content to enrich the learning experience.

WatchMojo’s catalog of English and French videos reaches a combined 75 million consumers across all platforms and in all markets. The company has never raised outside investment, is privately held and is based in Montreal, Canada.

About WatchMojo

WatchMojo informs and entertains through video by covering the people, places and trends that have shaped history. The company’s short-form factual infotainment programming answers questions on Who, What, Where, When and Why across thousands of topics in Automotive, Business, Comedy, Education, Fashion, Film, Food, Health & Fitness, History, How To, Lifestyle, Music, Politics, Science, Space, Sports, Urban Living, Technology, Travel and Video Games.

By providing videos to the world’s largest media companies and academic organizations, WatchMojo is a leading producer of professionally-produced, premium, brand-safe, evergreen, videos. The company’s catalog of seven thousand videos has generated 1 billion video views online and billions more in out-of-home digital networks.

Digiday picked WatchMojo as one of three finalists, alongside CBS and HBO, in the Best Entertainment category at the Digiday Video Awards. Marketing Magazine named WatchMojo one of Canada’s Digital Media Companies to Watch in its September 2011 issue. Ernst & Young nominated Ashkan Karbasfrooshan for Entrepreneur of the Year in its 2012 media category.

Wize Guys Comedy Presents “Cocks”–A Hilarious Video Parody of Magic Mike Meets Hooters

Wize Guys Comedy Presents “Cocks”–A Hilarious Video Parody of Magic Mike Meets Hooters










Hollywood, CA (PRWEB) August 28, 2012

With the recent spotlight on the popularity of “breastaurants, “or sports bars featuring scantily clad waitresses—the team at Wize Guys Comedy take a comedic look at what might happen if a women’s version of these themed restaurants were in existence through their digital video short entitled, “Cocks.”

The video centers around Cocks— a fictional restaurant serving some of the same items you may find in most sports bars, while specializing in their famous “cocks” wings. However, what differs is instead of women in tight-fitting shirts and shorts, you’ll find shirtless, men in tight shorts. The parody can be described as resembling “a male version of Hooters.”

“We got the idea to create the parody through conversations we had with women who expressed interest in their being more options for women to observe male eye candy. While there are plenty of options for men, some women feel their aren’t enough for women,” says Wize Guys creator Geo Santini. We created “Cocks” earlier this year, and decided that after the success of the film, Magic Mike this would be a great time to release it due to the relevance of our parody, says Todd Chamberlain co-creator of Wize Guys Comedy.

“Cocks” can be viewed on the recently launched Wize Guys Comedy site. Wize Guys Comedy is an online comedy network aimed at providing progressive, over-the-top comedy to viewers. The website—which consists of original, exclusive content, including scripted series and animated shorts, is aspiring to take online comedy to an elevated level through SNL-style skits and daily comedic postings.

This Is What Love in Action Looks Like

spacer

A stirring documentary about a Christian fundamentalist conversion camp and the young people who fought against it. When 16-year-old Zach told his parents that he was gay, they sent him to Love In Action, a religious organization that promises to cure homosexuality. Originally for adults, Love in Action had recently begun a program for teens, many of whom were sent there involuntarily. The camp’s draconian methods for ‘sexual redemption’; prompted filmmaker Jon Morgan Fox to document the ensuing protest against the group. Including interviews with several youths who had been in the program, the then current director of Love in Action (himself a former gay ) and many young protesters who were compelled to mobilize against the organization, this documentary is an important look at gay youth, intolerance and skewed religious beliefs.

Innovation, the Election, and the Economy to be Addressed at TD Ameritrade Institutional 2012 Fall Regional Conference











Jersey City, NJ (PRWEB) August 21, 2012

Independent registered investment advisors (RIAs) will hear from political powerhouses, innovative thought leaders and industry influencers at TD Ameritrade Institutional’s 2012 Fall Regional Conference. Paul Begala, political analyst and commentator for CNN and Newsweek columnist, and Bill Kristol, founder and editor of the Weekly Standard and panelist for FOX News Sunday are featured keynote speakers. The political pundits will deliver a timely point/counterpoint discussion on the political landscape just days before the 2012 Presidential election.

Fred Tomczyk, president and chief executive officer, TD Ameritrade Holding Corporation, and Tom Nally, president, TD Ameritrade Institutional1, are set to provide an outlook on the state of the business and the RIA industry. Deputy chief economist for TD Bank Group, Beata Caranci, will deliver perspectives on U.S. and global economies. Luke Williams, professor of innovation and entrepreneurship at New York University Stern School of Business and author of Disrupt: Think the Unthinkable to Spark Transformation in Your Business, will offer a thought-provoking session on innovation and leadership.

“The challenging economic climate and ongoing gridlock in Washington weighs on the minds of advisors and investors as the presidential election approaches,” said Tom Nally. “Advisors in attendance can expect thoughtful conversations on the outlook for our industry and how to best serve their clients as we brace for continued uncertainty on multiple fronts, including the political, economic and regulatory environments.”

More than 250 RIAs are expected to gather for the one-day conference at the St. Regis Monarch Beach in Dana Point, Calif. on Tuesday, October 23rd. Advisors will have the opportunity to participate in valuable social media workshops focused on building and strengthening their social media brand.
