text: When Bob Alexander pulled the 2019 Subaru Forester into my driveway Tuesday evening, I could tell at a glance it had undergone change for the better.Most obvious was a new color, jasper green metallic, and it looked roomier with a low beltline and tall glass for good vision. The all-new model is built on the Subaru Global Platform, sharing with Impreza and Crosstrek.Alexander's delivery was for Rocky Mountain Redline, of Longmont, one of three agencies which provide new cars and trucks from the manufacturers to me for use in my automotive columns in the Greeley Tribune and Denver Post.New to the Forester is a DriverFocus system which is designed to identify signs of driver fatigue and distraction. In fact, as I drove it that night, it twice alerted me, first with "Stay Alert," then later with "Keep Eyes on Road." Aw, come on, I glanced down only briefly to determine what one of those buttons was to my lower left.In its fifth generation, the 2019 model is far superior to the earlier Foresters.It was 21 years ago, in the summer of 1997, that I received one of the first '98 Subaru Foresters, a week before the new car was to be unveiled in Subaru showrooms all over Colorado.It was a boxy little cross between an SUV and station wagon, intended to compete with other small sport utes such as the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V and Suzuki Sidekick.Accompanied by Jan and Oregon friends Arlen and Eileen Samard and their grandson Matthew, I headed out west for Georgetown. Five was a load for the small four-door, somewhat underpowered. The Forester was termed "a middle-lane sport ute" by me, as I added, "in the left lane climbing I-70 it risks getting run over by V-8-powered Grand Cherokees and Suburbans."As I recall, excellent braking was a strength of that early Forester and I could turn it around on the narrow roads of Georgetown. It got us there and back home okay, though a bit noisy from beneath the hood.The 2019 Forester is the nicely equipped Touring trim level. It is on wheelbase of 105.1 inches, with overall length of 182.1 and curb weight of 3,040 pounds. The '98 version was smaller, though heavier than today's: 6 inches shorter in wheelbase and 7 shorter in overall length, but its curb weight was 550 pounds heavier than the new one.Ten years ago (almost 11), I was in Cobo Hall for the 2008 North American International Auto Show, where one of the biggest introductory successes of the big event was the unveiling of the 2009 Forester. It thrilled the car crowd – it had size and style; the old one had neither.Suspension upgrades with the Subaru Global Platform deliver a great ride for the 2019 Forester, which performs with a horizontally opposed, 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine of 182 horsepower/176 lb.-ft. of torque and a continuously variable transmission. Its symmetrical all-wheel-drive setup makes it a strong seller in winter-heavy Colorado. It averaged 31.8 miles per gallon on a rural highway drive (EPA estimate 26/33); the previously mentioned '98 model's average was 22.6.Subaru's EyeSight Driver Assist Technology, which includes precollision braking and throttle management, lane departure and lane-keep assist, is standard on all trim levels of the Forester.The Forester Touring review model, built in Japan, carries a sticker price of $35,270.– Bud Wells, a native of Wray, is a former Page 1 editor of the Denver Post and has reviewed automobiles for the past 40 years.

It must be made abundantly clear there will be no managerial change at Old Trafford given the club current position. United are well placed in the top four and are just four points behind City and Arsenal, that is pretty much on target with where Van Gaal expected to be in his second season.

If you can combine that youthful exuberance with a sense of belief which I think Lancaster has instilled then they can really cause some problems for New Zealand. I cannot remember the last time I saw a poor England pack and I think they will definitely match up to New Zealand forwards.

Tout-Monde: Markham
On view September 14, 2019 to January 5, 2020
About the Exhibition
Andrew Chung, Annette Mangaard, Julieta Maria, Calyx Passailaigue, Roberto Santaguida, Alice Shin
Tout-Monde: Markham seeks to engage with the delicate, yet timely discourse about encountering and representing the other. The project is inspired by the ideas of Martiniquais poet and philosopher Edouard Glissant (1928 – 2011). Building on his in-depth explorations of the history of slavery, and of créolisation, Glissant imagined le Tout-Monde ("the whole-world") where "relationships between two or more identities that are masters to themselves, would rely on changing by exchanging."
With its diverse communities, Markham offers an interesting context within which to explore Glissant's ideas. Six artists working with film were commissioned to engage with community members from backgrounds different from their own, thus stimulating the exploration of various means of perception and interaction with others. Ultimately, this project aims to generate a series of personal or collective encounters between artists and communities, as well as between neighbours, between friends and between strangers.
The artworks presented in the exhibition Tout-Monde: Markham are commissioned by Elegoa Cultural Productions with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts, New Chapter Program, in partnership with the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers of Toronto (LIFT) and the Varley Art Gallery of Markham.

HASNO Compliance Bund Upgrades
Clients: Various
With the change in the HSNO Regulations, Operators required upgrades to their facilitates to demonstrate compliance to secondary containment requirements. Since 2007, WCE had completed 10 tank bund upgrades to achieve the Hazardous Substances Act (HSNO) Compliance by 2017 for a number of Clients.
Whitaker Civil Engineering Ltd has been selected as the preferred contractor to complete this programme of works, with most bund construction work projects programmed for a six month duration over the summer period. In general the works have required:
Civil project management and administration; earthworks demolition; HDPE liner installation; megaflow subsoil drainage; polyurea membrane application; geotech membrane for embankment stabilisation; concrete foundations and structures; stormwater separator systems; retaining walls; kerbing; pavement construction; chipsealing; and hydroseeding.
The projects required working within the live petrochemical environment to international standards for quality and safety.
The projects demonstrate WCE's ability to strictly adhere to environmental and safety compliance requirements; met a stringent schedule and client budget; carry out multi-discipline scopes of work, including earthworks, paving and liner in a brownfield environment.
Bell Block Bypass (click here for more)
The Bell Block Bypass is a carriageway linking New Plymouth to the north. The road is approximately 3.5km long and includes numerous structures along its length.
Te Rewa Rewa Bridge (click here for
The new pedestrian bridge over the Waiwhakaiho River extends New Plymouths beautiful coastal walkway to Bell Block.
Liardet Street Pedestrian Overpass (click here for
The Liardet Street Pedestrian Overpass is located on the New Plymouth Coastal Walkway. WCE was contracted to construct a bridge over the existing rail corridor; a carpark and surrounding siteworks with street furniture.
Colson Road Landfill
Whitaker Civi operated the Colson Road Landfill from 2007 to June 2016.
We introduced a new computerised weighbridge system which is has an interface for the Truck Drivers to use to produce all the data the council requires to keep accurate records of what goes into the landfill from both a financial and environmental perspective.
To ensure the waste material is being compacted enough we invested in a modern waste compactor machine and do tests on the material to compare weight to volume.
Over the time we operated the Landfill we also completed the earthworks to increase the capacity to its full design this was done in two stages and involved shaping new batters that are suitable to extend the thick plastic liner up.
Pohokura Gas Re-Injection
This project was completed on time and involved a whole new area of Plant being developed with extensive pipe and electrical links to the existing plant. Our large construction team was put together with personnel experienced from working on many other sites in the Taranaki Petrochemical Industry.
Brougham Street Shared Space Development
This prestigious development in the very center of town involved a highly detailed design from Richard Bain Landscape Architects. As the name suggests this is a pedestrian area with vehicle access and also use by adjacent businesses as part of their trading environment. The design uses gridlines which diverge from the line of the street and complement the existing development on the other side of Ariki Street. A large grass area and extensive seating lend the space as suitable for many other civic uses. The area achieves many different design interface criteria and was a challenging and interesting project that WCE was proud to be involved with.
Rugby Park New Plymouth
The terraces upgrade significantly increased the capacity of the stadium in readiness for the Rugby World Cup 2011. The finished terraces have a high degree of access and safety elements built in.
WITT Student Classrooms and Workshops
At WITT we have project managed the modernisation and renovation of extensive indoor and outdoor areas. This has included Classrooms Workshops and Toilets with walls ceilings and floors being constructed as well as all the inside fixtures. The high quality architectural projects by Jenny Goddard Design have achieved great results at the Institute.
Taranaki Velodrome Trust
The Velodrome is a 333.33m long oval and is accurately constructed to international standards.
The accompanying track circuit is a minimum of 4m wide and is 1.7km round.
The Velodrome itself is a complex shape which needed control setout every 2.5m. The slopes presented a challenge throughout construction from the subgrade up, the very best compaction practices were used with considerable overfilling then cutting back of the sand. The paving it was recognised from the start would need to be handled differently to accommodate the considerable slope, some stabilisers counter-balances and extra safety measures were employed.
A high quality and much anticipated community asset was handed over on a special Open Day which incorporated a fun ride to the venue then a demonstration from a local cycling club.
Pukekura Park Play Space
This is an architecturally designed flagship play area for New Plymouth. First the old features were removed and the site sealed off, there are numerous pedestrian access points to the site but only one small vechicular access. This dictated the sequence of construction which included much concreting of the various paths circulating through the site, above and below ground features, different surfaces e.g soft fall, picnic grass, steps, walls and seating. Everything was marked out precisely so the design would fit into the irregular shape and tie in to the surrounding park.
A special opening day was planned and it was well received in the community.
Burkes Drain (Manawatu) Flood Defense
A major pumping station is currently under construction. In conjunction widening of the existing drain in the area has already been completed. The Earthworks were large volume spread over a large area either side of the drain, access over the drain was very limited and generally the grades were steep. Also as part of the earthworks contract various properties in the area had stopbanks built out of the material removed from the drain.
Hobson Hotel New Plymouth
Project managed by Foster Construction, the Hobson Hotel is under the Accor Novotel brand and has 85 rooms, some apartments, a restaurant/bar and conference rooms. The building is located on the edge of the CBD and its most striking feature is its curved profile. This affects the shape of the entire hotel, rooms, corridors and restaurant, with more curved features in the spacious reception area.
Whitaker Civil was involved with the entire ground works from ground stabilisation and service diversion, through retaining walls, new services, extensive piling, ground beams, pile caps and first stage building columns and shear walls.
While the main contractor completed the upper part of the building our involvement continued with the hotel grounds.
Our team worked very well around the other contractors on a fairly compact site, also on the site is a protected tree of which there are only two in New Zealand. Whitaker Civil are proud to have been a part of this landmark building which is not only attractive but also built to the highest earthquake standards.
Pukeiti Regional Gardens
Whitaker Civil was involved with the redevelopment of the parking areas and with the construction of a covered walkway feature. It was a challenging contract partly due to the detailed design but also due to the works needing to be completed off season in an area with a high rainfall.
Wiremu Bridges (click here for more)
The Wiremu Road Bridge contracts have been completed for the South Taranaki District Council. Work involved bridge construction; road construction and surrounding site works.

When Civil Resistance Succeeds: Building Democracy After Popular Nonviolent Uprisings
By: Jonathan Pinckney
Date of Publication: October 2018
Free Download |
Why do some nonviolent revolutions lead to successful democratization while others fail to consolidate democratic change? And what can activists do to push toward a victory over dictatorship that results in long-term political freedom?
香蕉视频app在线Several studies show that nonviolent revolutions are generally a more positive force for democratization than violent revolutions and top-down political transitions. However, some nonviolent revolutions, such as the Arab Spring revolution in Egypt, do not seem to fit this pattern. This study takes on this puzzle and reveals that the answer lies in large part in the actions of civil society prior to and during transition. Democracy is most likely when activists can keep their social bases mobilized for positive political change while directing that mobilization toward building new political institutions.
Civil Resistance against Coups: A Comparative and Historical Perspective
By: Stephen Zunes
Date of publication: December 2017
Free Download |
Nations are not helpless if the military decides to stage a coup. On dozens of occasions in recent decades, even in the face of intimidated political leaders and international indifference, civil society has risen up to challenge putschists through large-scale nonviolent direct action and noncooperation. How can an unarmed citizenry mobilize so quickly and defeat a powerful military committed to seizing control of the government? What accounts for the success or failure of nonviolent resistance movements to reverse coups and consolidate democratic gains?
This monograph presents in-depth case studies and analysis intended to improve our understanding of the strategic utility of civil resistance against military takeovers; the nature of civil resistance mobilization against coups; and the role of civil resistance against coups in countries' subsequent democratization efforts (or failure thereof). It offers key lessons for pro-democracy activists and societies vulnerable to military usurpation of power; national civilian and military bureaucracies; external state and non-state agencies supportive of democracy; and future scholarship on this subject.
People Power Movements and International Human Rights: Creating a Legal Framework
By: Elizabeth A. Wilson
Date of publication: August 2017
Revised: July 2019

International human rights law did not come into existence top-down, out of the benevolent intentions of states, even though states eventually began to recognize that large-scale human rights abuses could pose a threat to the international order. Rather, it came into existence from the bottom-up efforts of ordinary people in civil society to ally with each other in solidarity and demand their rights, often through organized nonviolent campaigns and movements that pressured elites and powerholders to recognize or grant individual rights (freedom for slaves, women's rights, labor rights, and children's rights, to name a few). Unlike international law generally, the real source of international human rights law has been the coordinated, organized and nonviolently forceful efforts of individuals—in other words, what one can refer to as people power.
Making or Breaking Nonviolent Discipline in Civil Resistance Movements
By: Jonathan Pinckney
Date of publication: October 2016
Free Download: English | Chinese | Summary of findings in Farsi
香蕉视频app在线How can we understand when nonviolent movements will stay nonviolent? When are they likely to break down into violence? In this monograph, Jonathan Pinckney analyzes both what promotes and undermines nonviolent discipline in civil resistance movements. Combining quantitative research on thousands of nonviolent and violent actions with a detailed comparison of three relevant case studies of civil resistance during the "Color Revolutions", Pinckney's analysis provides important lessons for activists and organizers on the front lines, as well as for practitioners whose work may impact the outcomes of nonviolent struggles. We learn how repression consistently induces violence, as do government concessions. On the flip side, we see that structuring a campaign in an inclusive and non-hierarchical way is conducive to greater nonviolent discipline.
The Power of Staying Put: Nonviolent Resistance to Armed Groups in Colombia
By: Juan Masullo
Date of publication: August 2015
Free download: English | Spanish
香蕉视频app在线Confronted with civil war, local civilians typically either collaborate with the strongest actor in town or flee the area. Yet civilians are not stuck only with these choices. Collectively defying armed groups by engaging in organized nonviolent forms of noncooperation, self-organization and disruption is another option. This monograph explores this option through sustained and organized civil resistance led by ordinary peasants against state and non-state repressive actors in Colombia's longstanding civil war: the case of the Peace Community of San José de Apartadó.
The Tibetan Nonviolent Struggle: A Strategic and Historical Analysis
By: Tenzin Dorjee
Date of publication: September 2015
Free Download: English | Tibetan
香蕉视频app在线Contrary to a perception—fueled by Chinese propaganda during the 2008 Tibetan uprising that the Tibetan struggle is heading toward extremism—this study shows that the movement for Tibetan freedom has since the 1950s moved toward a tighter embrace of nonviolent resistance. The study traces this evolution, analyzing the central themes, purposes, challenges, strategies, tactics and impacts of three major Tibetan uprisings over the past six decades. Tibetans are now waging a quiet, slow-building nonviolent movement, centered on strengthening the Tibetan national and cultural fabric via what the author refers to as "transformative resistance." This is happening in an immensely repressive political environment, which shows that there is a way to mobilize people power against even one of the most ruthless regimes in the world.

Preventing Mass Atrocities: From a Responsibility to Protect (RtoP) to a Right to Assist (RtoA) Campaigns of Civil Resistance
By Peter Ackerman and Hardy Merriman, May 2019
Free Download: English | Arabic | Spanish
Events of the last decade demand new approaches to atrocity prevention that are adaptable, innovative and independent of a state-centered doctrine. With the aim of reducing risk factors such as civil war, we argue for a new normative framework called The Right to Assist (RtoA), which could strengthen international coordination and support for nonviolent civil resistance campaigns demanding rights, freedom and justice against non-democratic rule.
RtoA would: 1) engage a wide range of stakeholders such as NGOs, states, multilateral institutions and others; 2) bolster various factors of resilience against state fragility; and 3) incentivize opposition groups to sustain commitment to nonviolent strategies of change. The adoption of this doctrine can reduce the probability of violent conflict that significantly heightens atrocity risk, while increasing the prospects for constructive human development.
Nonviolent Resistance and Prevention of Mass Killings During Popular Uprisings
By: Evan Perkoski and Erica Chenoweth
Date of Publication: April 2018
Free Download |
香蕉视频app在线What drives governments to crack down on and kill their own civilians? And how—and to what extent—has nonviolent resistance historically mitigated the likelihood of mass killings? This special report explores the factors associated with mass killings: when governments intentionally kill 1,000 or more civilian noncombatants. We find that these events are surprisingly common, occurring in just under half of all maximalist popular uprisings against states, yet they are strongly associated with certain types of resistance. Nonviolent uprisings that do not receive foreign material aid and that manage to gain military defections tend to be the safest. These findings shed light on how both dissidents and their foreign allies can work together to reduce the likelihood of violent confrontations.
Powering to Peace: Integrated Civil Resistance and Peacebuilding Strategies

This report explores the complementary ideas and practices that civil resistance and peacebuilding approaches present, each from different points along the conflict transformation spectrum. Both strategies oppose violence in all its forms, and seek to pursue just peace by peaceful means. However, they take different approaches to conflict transformation, in particular how they analyze primary causes of violence and how they respond to conflict. Drawing on a number of case studies, this report aims to help practitioners and scholars understand how integrating these strategies can help establish a path for "powering to peace."

Los eventos de la última década exigen nuevos enfoques para la prevención de atrocidades que sean adaptables, innovadores e independientes de una doctrina centrada en el estado. Con el objetivo de reducir los factores de riesgo como la guerra civil, abogamos por un nuevo marco normativo llamado El derecho a la asistencia (RtoA), que fortalecería la coordinación internacional y el apoyo a las campañas de resistencia civil no violentas que exigen derechos, libertad y justicia contra los no democráticos regla.
香蕉视频app在线RtoA: 1) involucraría a una amplia gama de partes interesadas, como ONG, estados, instituciones multilaterales y otros; 2) reforzar varios factores de resistencia contra la fragilidad del estado; y 3) incentivar a los grupos de oposición a mantener el compromiso con las estrategias de cambio no violentas. La adopción de esta doctrina puede reducir la probabilidad de conflicto violento que aumenta significativamente el riesgo de atrocidad, al tiempo que aumenta las perspectivas de desarrollo humano constructivo.

Revisiting the Methods of Nonviolent Action (tentative title)
By: Michael Beer
Forthcoming, 2019
Revisiting the Methods of Nonviolent Action adds new methods of nonviolent action to the list of 198 methods categorized by Gene Sharp in 1973 in his book, The Methods of Nonviolent Action. This monograph inspires readers that nonviolent action encompasses a big category of human activity and that new and old tactics are employed daily. It also analyzes strengths and weaknesses of Dr. Sharp's typologies and updates his work by documenting additional methods of nonviolent action and new scholarship from the fields of civil resistance, human rights defense, and social change. The monograph surveys the work of scholars and activists who have contributed alternative nonviolent typologies. Methods documented by other scholars are gathered, organized and added to Dr. Sharp's list of methods. The monograph also documents undiscovered methods and proposes helpful new categories of nonviolent action. The monograph concludes with a summary of lessons learned and how they are relevant for practitioners, educators, and scholars of civil resistance. Recommendations are made for further application and research.
Prison Hunger Strikes as Civil Resistance: A Global Perspective on Political Resistance in Prisons (tentative title)
By: Malaka Mohammed Shwaikh & Rebecca Ruth Gould
Forthcoming, 2020
This monograph examines six different global contexts wherein prison hunger strikes have been used as a tool of civil resistance, with a specific focus on hunger strikes among Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails from 1948 to the present. Drawing on first-hand interviews, archival research, and primary and secondary research in many languages, the authors examine how hunger strikes have generated solidarity among prison populations from Palestine, South Africa, and Northern Ireland to Iran, Turkey, and the United States. They offer an innovative typology for the effectiveness of hunger strikes and other forms of civil resistance across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and North America that foregrounds the differences and similarities between prison strikes in regimes of occupation and apartheid and within liberal democracies. Addressed to both academics and practitioners, this is the first monograph to offer a comparative account of prison hunger strikes on a global scale, and to incorporate findings from international law, legal anthropology, political theory, and sociology into a broad theory of the capacity of nonviolent civil resistance to bring about measurable political change.
Agents Provocateurs, Violent Flanks, and Nonviolent Movements: A Historical and Strategic Perspective (tentative title)
By: Tom Hastings & Adam Vogal
香蕉视频app在线 Forthcoming, 2020
When governments and opponents infiltrate civil society resistance campaigns, organizations, or movements, what do they do and what are the effects of such covert operations? These questions are not well understood and not studied systematically in relation to known and rumored cases of state infiltration in civil society resistance movements with the goals ranging from gathering intelligence to discrediting a movement to inducing shifts in their nonviolent tactics in favor of violence. This study attempts to provide a framework for understanding the strategic implications for activists of the use of agents provocateurs and other forms of covert action.
Material Resources Mobilization and Palestinian Nonviolent Popular Resistance Campaigns in Area C (tentative title)
By: Mahmoud Soliman
Forthcoming, 2020
香蕉视频app在线This research focuses on 10 specific nonviolent Palestinian campaigns in Area C where Palestinians are living under full Israeli control that restricts the use of material and represses Palestinian communities. These communities suffer from the lack of skills, democracy, and unity among national liberation movements. Despite these challenges, grassroots activists have been able to generate, manage, and use material resources. This research explores the ways material resources are funded from a wide range of actors, the ways in which grassroots activists have been able to manage and use material resources in these campaigns, and analyzes the impacts of internal and external material resources on advancing nonviolent campaigns.
Social Movements and Material Resources in Northwest Mexico (tentative title)
By: Chris Allan and Scott DuPree
香蕉视频app在线 Forthcoming, 2020
香蕉视频app在线Mexico has a long history of social movements grappling with fundamental issues of social justice. This study looks at the issue of what material resources are the most useful to social movement organizations, in particular understanding the difference between external and internal support strategies. We believe material resources cannot been seen as separate from the social narratives associated with these resources. Our research hypothesis is, thus, that movements are able to build and mobilize material resources most effectively when they come from within their movements. Research results, we expect, will offer a practical way to map material resources that can guide understanding of how movements can expand their resource base.
The Impact of Nonviolent Resistance on Civil War Resolution (tentative title)
By: Luke Abbs
Forthcoming, 2020
香蕉视频app在线In recent years, a burgeoning literature has explored the strategic advantages of using nonviolent resistance to achieve positive political outcomes, such as regime change and democratization. Yet, despite one-fifth of large-scale nonviolent campaigns occurring during the course of a civil war, we know little about the affect nonviolent resistance might have on the transformation of armed conflict. Bringing together the previously isolated literatures on nonviolent resistance and peacebuilding, this manuscript explores how nonviolent resistance can aid peacebuilding efforts that transform ongoing armed conflict, using data on all civil wars episodes since 1945. The finding show nonviolent resistance does have a positive impact on the resolution of armed conflict, with evidence deriving from a Large-N statistical analysis, out-of-sample prediction and structured-focused case studies.
External Support for Nonviolent Campaigns (tentative title)
By: Erica Chenoweth & Maria J. Stephan
Forthcoming, 2020
This monograph draws from an ICNC-sponsored multi-year research project that examines the effects of different forms of external aid on the outcomes and longer-term impacts of civil resistance campaigns. Very little research has systematically investigated the impacts of external support on the effectiveness of nonviolent resistance. Existing research reaches somewhat contradictory conclusions, with some finding that external support for nonviolent campaigns is harmful, that external support is sometimes helpful, or that external support has little observable effect. This study will assess different types of external – material and non-material – assistance to civil resistance movements offered by state ad non-state actors at different stages of civil resistance: pre, during and post-conflict periods. Finally, it will evaluate the impact of the specific type of aid, its timing and provisions by different actors on the overall trajectories of civil resistance campaigns and their outcomes.
Civil Resistance against Climate Change: Strategies, Tactics and Outcomes of a National Climate Change Movement in Australia (tentative title)
By: Robyn Gulliver, Kelly Fielding, and Winnifred Louis
香蕉视频app在线 Forthcoming, 2020
香蕉视频app在线Transnational movements using nonviolent resistance tactics to demand action on climate change have emerged from a foundation of decades of persistent and diverse environmental activism. What are the features of this nonviolent resistance that differentiate it from previous activism? What response is this resistance prompting from political and financial entities? To investigate these questions this monograph combines a large-scale longitudinal data set on climate activism in Australia with two case studies of nonviolent resistance against corporations. Through this analysis the monograph will create an extensive empirical data set for theory-testing about climate change activism, as well as a tool to help practitioners engaged in climate activism make timely and well-informed strategic and tactical decisions.
Trust and Mobilization in Africa's Third Wave of Protest (tentative title)
By: Jacob S. Lewis
Forthcoming, 2020
What role does trust play in shaping the outcomes of civil resistance campaigns? Trust has been found to be a critical factor in building political and social capital, encouraging group cohesion, and overcoming collective action problems. Despite this, trust has not been directly addressed by the civil resistance scholarship. This monograph addresses this lacuna by examining how trust shapes – and is shaped by – three levels of mobilization: trust at the individual level, trust within activist groups, and trust across resistance campaigns.
Protector Institutions in Civil Resistance Struggles in Latin America (tentative title)
By: Consuelo Amat
(This writing project is currently on hold)
How can civil resistance campaigns emerge in highly repressive environments? This monograph shows that nonviolent action is possible against actors that are capable and willing to use force conditional on the presence of protector institutions. Protector institutions play an indirect role in mobilization by decreasing the cost of high-risk activism and increasing the cost of repression. The monograph examines different types of protector institutions that, with varying degrees of success, have assisted civil resistance campaigns in six countries in Latin America, including Chile, Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia and Venezuela.

Civil Resistance and Mechanisms of Change (Pathways to Democratic Success)
By: Jonathan Pinckney
Forthcoming, 2019
香蕉视频app在线How do nonviolent resistance movements oust dictators? What effects do these different ways of ousting dictators have on countries' long-term political trajectories? In this special report, I trace the pathways through which civil resistance movements of the last seventy years have removed dictatorships and the impact of these different pathways on levels of democratic progress. I find that pathways that involve campaign initiative, institutional mechanisms, and building cooperative norms – particularly negotiated transitions – tend to lead to the highest levels of democratic progress.
The Nonviolent Campaign of the Pashtun Protection Movement in Pakistan
By: Qamar Jafri
Forthcoming, 2020
香蕉视频app在线The Pashtun Protection Movement Pakistan (PTMP) is a youth-led nonviolent resistance campaign for human rights for the Pashtun people in northwestern Pakistan. This movement's is reminiscent of Pashtun historical icon Bacha Khan's organizing nonviolent action for justice in Pakistan's past. How are these young Pashtuns differentiating themselves from violent religious extremists (e.g. Taliban Movement) and resisting government repression and mistreatment through nonviolent resistance activities? How do they develop and use nonviolent strategies and tactics in their protests and actions? How do they engage supporters and opponents of the movement? How do they manage funding and media coverage of their activities? The study seeks to answer these and other questions questions via relevant field research and data collection and is funded by the ICNC as part of its 2018 rapid field data collection grant.
Foundation Support for Pro-Democracy Social Movement Building
By: Ben Naimark-Rowse
香蕉视频app在线 Forthcoming, 2020
Why and how have some institutional donors in the United States supported nonviolent social movement building in non-democracies?
A number of movement-centric research projects seek to explore the effects of donor support for nonviolent social movements on their success or failure. By contrast, this research is donor-centric. It seeks to understand why and how donors decide to support nonviolent social movement building in the first place. This research will explore a range of factors that might influence donor support for social movement building including donors' internal structures, donors' perception of political risk, and the nature of donors' understanding of and relationships to social movements.
香蕉视频app在线In collaboration with the Human Rights Funders Network, this project will utilize the Advancing Human Rights database to outline trends in donor support from 2011-2015. Interviews with and a comparative case study of donors will allow this project to offer a detailed understanding of how donors work. In doing so, this research seeks to offer insights to donors, academics, and movements, amongst others about the availability of financial and other resources for social movement building in closed and closing political spaces.
Civil Resistance and Peacebuilding Case Studies

These case studies are based on the analytical framework developed by Veronique Dudouet in the ICNC Special Report, Powering to Peace: Integrated Civil Resistance and Peacebuilding Strategies香蕉视频app在线, and provide specific examples from single, country-specific conflicts to illustrate the intersection of the CR and PB strategies in helping reduce violence and building more peaceful societies.
Forthcoming Resources for Practitioners
Glossary of Civil Resistance: A Resource for Study and Translation of Key Terms
By: Hardy Merriman and Nicola Barrach-Yousefi
Forthcoming, 2020
香蕉视频app在线The amount of English-language literature in the field of civil resistance has rapidly expanded in recent decades, while the demand for materials in languages other than English has dramatically risen. This glossary of over 150 terms is created to help make this knowledge available to people around the world. Its primary goal is to help with the translation of information on civil resistance from English into other languages. We also expect other readers will also find value in it—a great deal can be learned through deep understanding of the terms in this field.
Liberating Politics: The Potential of Civil Resistance
by Ivan Marovic and Hardy Merriman
香蕉视频app在线 Forthcoming, 2020
香蕉视频app在线For eleven straight years, freedom and democracy has declined around the globe. The world is in a slow-moving crisis, with authoritarians playing offense and adapting their strategies to prevent and counter civil resistance. Meanwhile, populists are also trying to drive popular discontent and use it for their own personal gain. Civil resistance movements must adapt their strategies in the face of these realities, and new thinking is required.
Liberating Politics香蕉视频app在线 aims to take the best insights from scholars and grassroots practitioners over the last decade and make them available to anybody who is preparing for or following the next wave of nonviolent resistance movements. Research in the field of civil resistance has progressed significantly in recent years, but far too little of it has been accessible to activists. Using data and examples with diagrams, photos and other visuals, this book will provide up-to-date understanding of diverse aspects of civil resistance and practical insights about waging nonviolent struggle, drawn from cases around the world. It will be available online for free download and in hard copy for a low price.

Patience was needed in that monster queue that formed outside of the campus Hardenbergstraße. The Universität der Künste was crowded immediately with fashionably weird kids, artists, critics, ravers and students.
When we finally got in, we were relieved to see that everything was intensely well done (in a chaotic way) as always. The courtyard was shrouded in magical lights and, uhm, contemporary German rock-pop music (I think?!) and everyone was having a good time. The students responsible for mixing the cocktails were mostly passed out by 11, and the visitors all ended up on the second courtyard bumping and grinding to the annual dance of hip hop and other genres.
Typically, the art shown at the Rundgang would need more invested time to really see; for me, the Rundgang is an overview of "things other people are doing in Berlin" plus a big night out. The art, for me, is in the explosion of the whole city in that gorgeous building; I call it "accidental art", with all that stuff lying around in the hallways and the people becoming caricatures of a typical Berlin event. It always reminds me that summer will soon be over.

The dexterity of the fingers was less than expected. The fingers can only move in the direction of the palm of the hand, It is not possible to spread the fingers, which would have been nice in order to get more realistic hand-poses.

The EHIC is not a substitute for travel insurance.
The EHIC may not cover all health costs and will never cover repatriation costs, loss of possessions, trip cancellations, personal liability and a number of other sections from a standard travel insurance program, you are advised to take out a travel insurance policy in addition to the EHIC Card.
The EHIC does not cover situations where patients go abroad, in order to be treated in hospitals overseas, your Primary Care Trust or Local Health Board can advise further about this.
Please use this form to get started.
We are here to make sure that all of those little details have been covered for total piece of mind when traveling abroad
Cover against delayed flights
Airlines can often have either full or cancelled flights, which as most of you can imagine would be a nightmare situation to be stuck in when waiting to board a flight. The good news is, most travellers will automatically be covered for this, but this will ultimately depend on the insurance policy you decide to take out. As we want to make sure you're completely in the know, we have listed some helpful tips and the kind of advice that you can benefit from if this were to unfortunately happen to you or your family.
Cover Against Pre-Existing Medical Conditions
Don't let pre-existing medical conditions stop you from travelling. Even though there will be a lot of insurance companies out there that will consider people with pre-existing medical conditions as high risk, finding the right one for you can mean the difference between travelling or not. Our comparison site will be able to compare hundreds of quotes for you within seconds to help you find the policy that's just right for you.
Coach and Tour Operator Insurance
Operating a coach tour can be stressful at the best of times, with so much to organise and so many problems to sort out before you can even set off. Don't let insurance be one of them! It is vital that you find the right insurance package to suit your requirements, and we are here to help.
Helpful Friendly Agents
Our online support team are here to help, and to ease you through the process should you require any further information or advise. The chances are, you've got some important questions that need answering, and the chances are, we know the answers! So we have taken the liberty of providing you with lots of useful information and fun facts about travelling abroad that could certainly come in handy. So before you apply for your insurance, why not take a moment to relax, put your feet up and have a read, but remember, if there's anything else we can help with, you just let us know.
And the benefits don't stop there. Read more >>

When I analysed the stock chart pattern of Hindustan Unilever more than 8 months ago, this was one of my comments:-
'If you want to preserve your capital during vicious bear attacks and like steady returns from tax-free dividends, there are very few stocks that can match HUL. This is not a stock for day traders. But there are plenty of opportunities for longer term trading.'
Now that the world indices are facing a co-ordinated bear attack by the FIIs, it may be a good time for a re-look at one of the favourite defensive stocks of all time.
Let us peruse the 9 months bar chart pattern of Hindustan Unilever (HUL) to check how the stock chart has played out since May '09:-
The stock peaked at 306 in Jul '09 on high volumes, but a 'reversal day' formation ended with a 3 weeks long sharp correction to 248 in Aug '09, where it got good support from the 200 day EMA. The stock subsequently made lower tops of 295 in Oct '09 and 288 in Nov '09 before sliding down below the 200 day EMA, which is very bearish.
But technical analysis requires verification from several other indicators for a confirmation. Look at the On-balance Volume (OBV). While the stock was making lower tops in Oct and Nov '09, the OBV was making higher ones - a positive divergence.
Even though the stock dropped below the 200 day EMA, it made a higher bottom of 252 last Friday, Jan 22 '10 and is trying to move up above the long-term moving average. Note that after falling below the 50 day EMA, the 20 day EMA is resting on the 200 day EMA.
The RSI bounced off the oversold zone and reached the 50% level before dipping down. The OBV has been moving sideways with an upward bias as the stock corrected for the past two months. The MACD is in negative territory, but has given a bullish cross above its signal line.
Are you all confused with the conflicting bullish and bearish signals? Time to take a look at a longer term chart - a 3 years closing chart pattern of HUL which gives a completely different picture:-
Now you know why I keep harping about long-term investing! The bull rally in the HUL stock that started in 2007, and progressed upwards right through the bear market in 2008, remains in tact.
The last 2 months' corrective move has merely brought the stock down towards the lower end of the upward trending channel (which can be drawn by connecting the tops and bottoms of the 3 years chart pattern) - giving an opportunity to enter.
Bottomline? With the Sensex undergoing a much needed correction, the HUL stock chart pattern looks poised for another rise within its bullish up-trend channel. Existing investors should hold on. New entrants can expect a 25% gain in the near term - but remember to maintain a tight stop-loss.
