Poverty does not breed extremism
By Fareed Zakaria, CNN
Since 9/11, a decade ago, Washington has given the government of Pakistan more than $20 billion in aid. Two thirds of that has gone to the military to fight the war on terror. The other third, about $6 billion, has gone for development of Pakistan civilian economy and society.
The theory behind many of those billions of dollars is that by bringing Pakistan poorest out of poverty and despair, fewer young men will be seduced by radical Islam.
As President Obama said, must stand with those who want to build Pakistan. And Secretary Clinton adds, this assistance is not only the right thing to do, but we believe it is essential to global security and the security of the United States. uses all over the world, from Baghdad to Bali and back.
But what if you discover that aid money does not necessarily make Pakistanis less likely to turn to terror? What if you learn that there actually no correlation between being poor and supporting Islamic extremism?
Well, that what a new serious academic study seems to prove. It a robust survey by four academics from Princeton, Georgetown and the University of Pennsylvania that conducted extensive field research in Pakistan, interviewing 6,000 people across a broad spectrum of income groups and geography. Their findings could challenge the way we copy cartier friendship ring approach fighting terror, not just in Pakistan but around the world.
First, they find that in general Pakistanis don like militant groups. Not just al Qaeda, but the other ones like the Pakistani or Afghan Taliban.
Second, contrary to conventional wisdom, poor Pakistanis dislike militant groups more than the middle classes.
Third, the people who hate militants the most are the urban poor, probably because more than any other group they the ones who are affected by terror attacks bombs in subways or cafes or whatever.
It an interesting conclusion. The people we long considered the likeliest candidates for extremism are actually the ones most against it.
The study points out that this goes against most of the existing policy literature on the subject. State Department and the UK Department for International Development as saying poverty motivates people to extreme violence.
Now, giving aid to poor people is good in and of itself. But if we been doing that to prevent them from becoming Islamic fundamentalists, then this study suggests we been aiming at the wrong target. Perhaps our focus should be on the middle classes or on secular education.
Research shows that members of the IRA in Northern Ireland or Hezbollah militant ring fake rose gold cartier love ring are more likely to come from economically advantaged families and with a relatively high level of schooling.
These are important issues for Washington to consider. Who does it want to give economic aid to? What exactly is the best way to create a climate less conducive to extremism? Those are long term issues.
For now, what I want to say in the short term is: Let at least focus on accountability for this aid for both hard and soft aid. We need to demand results. What is the money achieving?
A CNN poll from last week shows that nearly half of all Americans think all aid to Pakistan should be stopped. Another quarter thinks it should be reduced.
It seems like 10 years and $20 billion later, the American people understand basic lessons in accounting that Washington has been learning the hard way. Pentagon documents now show that we are rejecting nearly half of Islamabad claims for expenses over the last two years.
But the more important question is: Will the Pakistani military in return for all this money, finally move against the terror organizations like the Haqqani Network and Lashkar e Taiba that they claim to be willing to battle?
It long delayed, but it is the right message that we should be sending.
American purse strings are important and necessary from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, but they don have to remain open at all costs.
As usual, Western scholars understand nothing about extremism. Poverty and exposure to violence are at the very root of the fomentation of extremist ideologies. The fact that IRA extremists (or other groups) come from affluent backgrounds does not directly speak to the issue of poverty as a catalyst in extremist movements. Consider the American Civil War. The extremist KKK arose just after the end of the war when the economy of the southern states was in shambles. In the Middle East, extreme poverty is a common rose gold cartier love ring knock off problem as is exposure to violence. Both of these variables operate to provide a scapegoat for extremists as a recruitment tool. One should not confuse the socioeconomic level of the extremists themselves with the general perception of poverty in a given area. Where the perception exists that a person economic opportunities and social mobility are limited, there will be extremist elements eager to exploit such perceptions to cartier friendship ring fake their advantage. The anti immigrant rhetoric rose sharply after the economic downturn in as people used immigration as the scapegoat for economic problems that were, in reality, caused by many factors that had nothing at all to do with immigration. This is completely off base. Even a cursory reading of history will show that co option is one of the best methods for dealing with extremism (ie, by eliminating the perceived perceived being the key word here problems which give rise to extremist sentiments).

Secondly, I support and work closely with the Aids charity The London Lighthouse, to which I would donate a substantial amount of money. But the first thing I would do would be to organise the ultimate holiday for my family and closest friends that would end with the party of a lifetime.
Next, I would contact a travel agent that specialises in luxury holidays and ask them to find the most beautiful, exotic 12 bedroom house in the Far East. I would then design the most exquisite invitations and hand deliver them to my friends, inviting them to stay. The holiday would begin with a private plane flying us out to the Far East, followed by a helicopter whisking us all off to the house. I would look forward to seeing the excited faces of my friends as we hovered above the house, taking in all the sights: the idyllic surroundings, the private golden beach, the bluest of pools and the magnificent white house.
The house would be spacious, minimalist and filled with exotic scents which would range from the flower arrangements using the local tropical fauna and flora, arranged replica cartier pendant love by John from the Flower Van, to the bathrooms pendant cartier love fake filled with Jo Malone products.
To achieve the ultimate in relaxation, I would organise the help of masseurs and reflexologists for the adults, and nannies to look after the children. Everyone would have a week of living a fantasy of the rich and famous: the ultimate food, the finest wine, beautiful surroundings, yachting, jet skiing and having lots of fun.
This would culminate in the most talked about party in the world. I would wear my stunning Ben de Lisi dress, with accessories from Cartier. We would eat delicious seafood caught that day and prepared beautifully by Anton Mosimann, whom I would fly out, along with David Copperfield, the amazing magician, and Elton John, who would play until sunrise.
Most important, I would make sure that I had a really good laugh with all my friends.
Kelly Hoppen has published two copy love pendant cartier books love cartier pendant knock off on interior design, East Meets West' and Table Chic', and is working on her third. Debenhams sells her exclusive home collection. She was interviewed by Diona Gregory

I would look forward to seeing the excited faces of my friends as we hovered above the house, taking in all the sights: the idyllic surroundings, the private golden beach, the bluest of pools and the magnificent white house.
The house would be spacious, minimalist and filled with exotic scents which would range from the flower arrangements using the local tropical fauna and flora, arranged replica cartier pendant love by John from the Flower Van, to the bathrooms pendant cartier love fake filled with Jo Malone products.
To achieve the ultimate in relaxation, I would organise the help of masseurs and reflexologists for the adults, and nannies to look after the children. Everyone would have a week of living a fantasy of the rich and famous: the ultimate food, the finest wine, beautiful surroundings, yachting, jet skiing and having lots of fun.
This would culminate in the most talked about party in the world. I would wear my stunning Ben de Lisi dress, with accessories from Cartier. We would eat delicious seafood caught that day and prepared beautifully by Anton Mosimann, whom I would fly out, along with David Copperfield, the amazing magician, and Elton John, who would play until sunrise.
Most important, I would make sure that I had a really good laugh with all my friends.

Up Skills All Great Leaders Have
(Before It's News)I have met several young people in business recently who believe that they are natural born entrepreneurs, and actually seem to feel that traditional training and experience may be a detriment to their success in this new world. I concede that some natural born disciplines do exist, but more often I tend to agree with Peter Drucker, who said "It's not magic, it's not mysterious, and it has nothing to do with genes. It's a discipline, and like any discipline, it can be learned."
On the natural born side, some entrepreneurs seem to have a strong vision and the ability to inspirationally lead others. It is this vision that is the beacon to drive the right people behavior, leading to the success of the business. If you don't feel a vision in your heart, or if you don't have the strength to inspire people, entrepreneurship is probably the wrong road for you.
If you feel you do have the love cartier pendant copy vision characteristics, you can still benefit from some learnable skills and disciplines that improve the success and impact of every entrepreneur. Here are some of the key ones you may not have, assembled from an old interview with Herb Kelleher of Southwest Airlines and other executives:
Ability to set priorities and focus on goals. Many people allow themselves to be driven by the crisis of the moment. Personal discipline is the key word here. Set yourself some priorities and goals, and live by them.
Able to identify important issues. Some people call this common sense; others call it "street smarts." In the normal startup environment, there are multiple forces competing for your attention every day, and you need to learn to delegate or ignore many. It relates back to experience and knowledge, more than genes.
Conviction to be a passionate advocate. When you believe in something enough to turn your passion into action, you have become an advocate. That power and voice is then used to persuade others to make the correct decision. An effective advocate requires conviction, usually acquired during related first hand experience or training.
Broad knowledge and experience. Experience allows one to tackle challenges with confidence in a given area. Broad knowledge facilitates the same success in other business areas. Entrepreneurs need this, because their challenges are across the spectrum from technical to legal, chain love cartier knock off operational, financial, and organizational.
Active listening skills. Above all, the ability to listen and understand the real meaning of what people are saying (and not saying) is paramount, because the most important information never arrives in reports or email. Some people pick this up from experience, and others find classroom courses most helpful in setting the focus.
Sound judgment. I don't think anyone is born with sound judgment; it has to be learned, but can be started at a very early age. Every entrepreneur must have the capacity to assess situations or circumstances shrewdly and to draw proper conclusions.
Pleasant skepticism. Skepticism is not doubting, but applying reason and critical thinking to determine validity. It's the process of searching for a supportable conclusion, as opposed to justifying a preconceived conclusion. It is a learned skill.
These all revolve around the larger theme of team building. In short, to succeed, the entrepreneur must see and articulate a vision in order to attract and motivate a team, then be imitation pendant cartier love able to identify the key issues, challenge the views held within the team, and make judgments from among the varying perspectives in the team.
Every entrepreneur enters the game with a unique combination of genes and skills. If the things mentioned here feel replica cartier pendant price natural to you, and you are young at heart, have a healthy curiosity and zest for life, the entrepreneurial world may have a place for you, too. Give it a try. If you are having fun, you probably have what it takes.

Media Musings Blog Archive love screw bangle copy Bedazzling or not
nothing else interesting on today? Geoffrey Edelsten jeers replica cartier love bracelet rose gold as he approaches the Victorian Supreme Court.
To which the reporter replies in an equally sarcastic tone: think it a required news day. suppose any job is better than nothing. I don know how you guys sleep at night, Geoffrey finishes.
Channel 10 raw footage of Dr. Edelsten entering the Victorian Supreme Court yesterday probably wasn seen by many yet I feel it places a question of ethics firmly back in the hands of the journalist.
In the wash up of Brynne My Bedazzled Life pilot episode Thursday of last week, the media has turned its attention to Dr. Edelsten civil trial over an American woman he met on the internet, and the month long separation between Geoffrey and Brynne in March after things got a little physical.
But who cares? And what is the responsibility of the journalist here? Is this news?
Geoffrey and Brynne are clearly a source of constant amusement for journalists and public alike but with a tone like this, why bother to report it?
Edelsten has, of course, been in the news recently. whose fault is that?
Perhaps television ratings can tell us more.
The first episode of My Bedazzled Life averaged 930,000 viewers. Last nights second episode managed only 809,000. This is despite the news of Edelsten court case.
So does this mean we don care? Or just care less?
While they garnered much social media attention, The Shire and Being Lara Bingle are examples of underwhelming reality TV. Big Brother is lagging behind its past numbers, too. almost reminds me of Margie Abbott pathetic attempt to overthrow the publics tendency to the surface. Other Mike of Adelaide wrote:Not buying it Melissa, I 99% certain this will be as shallow and vapid as the Bingle trainwreck.

The intrigue and artistry of secret watches
Rosa Del Venti, Giampiero Bodino The pav diamond dial on this watch is hidden beneath an 11.49 carat cabochon love bracelet cheap fake emerald, and surrounded by colored sapphires, emeralds and rubies.
Mdor Secrte, Herms "The best pieces are first and foremost beautiful pieces of jewelry that happened to have a timepiece inside," says Jonathan Darracott, global head of watches love bracelet cheap copy at auction house Bonhams.

In 2011, her finest jewels sold for $115.9 million at a Christie's auction. Among among the pieces sold that night was a 1961 bejeweled timepiece by Bulgari.
Designed as a serpent to coil around the wrist, it features two hypnotic emerald eyes and tail paved with diamonds. A discreet mechanism opens its jaws to reveal a tiny quartz watch.
Though it was only expected to sell for up to $15,000, the "secret watch" so called because the dial is hidden behind a cover fetched an impressive $974,500.
Because of the complexity involved in creating a delicate hinged cover, secret watches offer an opportunity for luxury watchmakers to showcase their design creativity, as well as the breadth of their technical savoir faire all while answering the demand for multi functionality.
Secret watches were conceived in the 1920s primarily as a protection for the dial, but also as a more discrete way to keep track of the time among society.
"Having a dial on view was replica cartier love bracelet rose gold not to everybody's taste, especially if you were wearing fine jewelries, and hiding the piece under some diamonds was a very decent way of having a watch without being perceived of having a watch," says Jonathan Darracott, global head of watches at auction house Bonhams.

"All the brands did some Cartier, Omega, Vacheron Constantin, and of course Jaeger LeCoultre and the Reverso, which is practically a secret watch," he adds. "I think some how much is the cartier love bracelet of the best ones were made in the 1960s and 70s, because they're very much jewelry pieces, with the finest examples being the Bulgari snake watches."

Catherine Cariou, heritage director at Van Cleef Arpels, says at a time when it may have been considered "indelicate for a lady to look at the time," the brand deployed a wealth of imagination to find discreet and refined solutions, which still seduce today's aesthetes.
Indeed, bejeweled secret watches have enjoyed a renaissance of sorts. Van Cleef Arpels, who made their first secret watches in the 1930s, unveiled new models as recently as January at the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) in January.
However, Chadi Nouri Gruber, head of product management at Audemars Piguet, argues they have never truly gone out of style.
"Many brands have been producing those for years, but very discreetly for specific clients. I just think that brands are now communicating much more about them," she says.

Eschewing the world of flora and fauna often associated with feminine timepieces, Audemars Piguet went punk when it released an haute joaillerie cuff watch in 2015, its first secret watch in decades.
A sliding cover reveals the dial, neatly hidden amongst an edgy multi pyramid contour that is entirely covered with tiny diamonds using snow setting, a relatively new technique that allows the diamond setter to play with stones of different diameters and create a more organic design.
"Most of our competitors focus really on the romantic and poetic side of high jewelry creation, which is great because that fits their identity," Gruber says. "We wanted to create something that fits ours. We are a rule breaker, so we wanted to show we could do high jewelry creations . but we can do it in a different way."
For its latest creation, unveiled at SIHH 2017, the brand pushed the envelope further with the Diamond Outrage Secret Watch, which has diamond spikes that recall the Alpine peaks of the Le Brassus region of Switzerland, where Audemars Piguet watches are made.regarding cartier bracelet plating copper nail copy Newest mode news present Notice

More on the Moore Capital raid
Although no one has yet been charged, a Moore Capital employee has been arrested.There is no suggestion of wrong doing by Moore or its legendary founder, how much are cartier love rings knock off Louis Bacon.But there are few men cartier ring fake hedge funds in the world that have been going for longer or that manage more money.It is thought to manage some $15bn of investors' money.And Mr Bacon is said by Forbes Magazine to be worth $1.5bn.The FSA massively increased the resources it deploys on surveillance and enforcement three years ago and with the probe of Moore, it is showing a willingness to probe the world's most powerful financial firms.Deutsche Bank, the leading German bank with a huge City presence, has confirmed that one of its employees is under investigation by the FSA. It is co operating with investigators.Meanwhile a spokesman for Moore Capital tells me that its arrested employee has been put on gardening leave and that it too (naturally) is fully co operating with the FSA.Moore Capital's understanding is that the FSA is probing private dealings by the trader, rather than trades for the firm. If true, that would limit the reputational damage to the firm.Complain about this comment (Comment number 1)Comment number 2.

Although no one has yet been charged, a Moore Capital employee has been arrested.There is no suggestion of wrong doing by Moore or its legendary founder, how much are cartier love rings knock off Louis Bacon.But there are few men cartier ring fake hedge funds in the world that have been going for longer or that manage more money.It is thought to manage some $15bn of investors' money.And Mr Bacon is said by Forbes Magazine to be worth $1.5bn.The FSA massively increased the resources it deploys on surveillance and enforcement three years ago and with the probe of Moore, it is showing a willingness to probe the world's most powerful financial firms.Deutsche Bank, the leading German bank with a huge City presence, has confirmed that one of its employees is under investigation by the FSA. It is co operating with investigators.Meanwhile a spokesman for Moore Capital tells me that its arrested employee has been put on gardening leave and that it too (naturally) is fully co operating with the FSA.Moore Capital's understanding is that the FSA is probing private dealings by the trader, rather than trades for the firm. If true, that would limit the reputational damage to the firm.Complain about this comment (Comment number 1)Comment number 2.
