  • Polityka Wizerunkowa Haszymidzkiego Królestwa Jordanii Ze Szczególnym Uwzględnieniem Roli Pierwszej Damy
    POLITYKA WEWNĘTRZNA I BEZPIECZEŃSTWO DOI: 10.12797/Poliarchia.03.2015.04.04 Katarzyna ANDRYS [email protected] POLITYKA WIZERUNKOWA HASZYMIDZKIEGO KRÓLESTWA JORDANII ZE SZCZEGÓLNYM UWZGLęDNIENIEM ROLI PIERWSZEJ DAMY Abstract Impression Management Policy of the Jordanian Royal Family with special attention to the position of the first lady Impression Management Policy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is the image creation of this country within and outside its borders. The main actors in this process are the King and the Queen. This image is diversely interpreted and every so often is on the verge of suppressing the reality. In Jordan, the mis‑ sion of the King in creating a plausible image of his country seems to be large‑ ly complicated. The monarch has to reconcile different groups of people, such as conservatives or refugees with economical dependency to the USA, Israel or Saudi Arabia and Iraq. The Hashemite Monarchy is a particular case among the Middle Eastern countries, because the role of the Queen in public life is cru‑ cial. With the exception of the King, photographs of the royal family, or even the Queen alone, are often encountered. The present Jordanian Queen, Rania Al ‑Abdullah, is one of the most recognized Middle Eastern women, mostly be‑ cause of her skilful promotion in worldwide media. The Queen is chiefly pro‑ moting education, women and children’s rights and charity organizations. The image of the country created by the Queen is parallel to the King’s activity and also affects his image positively. keywords Jordan, Hashemite Royal Family, Impression Management Policy, Abdullah II, Rania Al -Abdullah 52 Katarzyna Andrys POLIARchia 1(4)/2015 WStęP Polityka wizerunkowa Jordanii to przede wszystkim kreowanie wizerunku państwa poprzez działalność króla i królowej.

Steve Jobs Steve Jobs was born on February 24th, 1955, to two University of Wisconsin graduates (Joanne Schieble and Abdulfattah Jandali, a Syrian immigrant). The couple decided not to keep the baby, and for the first few years of his life, Steve Jobs lived with an adoptive family. There, his adoptive father taught him about electronics and computer chips in their garage. In school, we was often so bored that the teacher had to bribe him to get work done. Regardless of that, the school supervisors believed Steve should start high school when he went into fourth grade, an idea which his parents refused. In 1976, when Jobs was just 21, he and Steve Wozniak formed Apple Computer, a company that would shape the world we live in today.

  • Sustainable Water Strategies for Jordan
    Sustainable Water Strategies for Jordan International Economic Development Program Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy University of Michigan, Ann Arbor April 2008 Elaine Denny, Kristina Donnelly, Roland McKay, Geoffroy Ponte, Tetsuya Uetake Sustainable Water Strategies for Jordan 1 Executive Summary Jordan is the fourth water poorest country in the world in a regional system defined by uncertainty and instability. This analysis (1) outlines the main challenges and opportunities of increasing national water supply and reducing economic and demographic sectors’ demand burden, (2) details the institutional interests of the stakeholders in the water debate, (3) analyzes the costs and benefits of a range of water policy options, and (4) recommends an integrated, multi-sectoral series of steps to reform the water sector. Water supply in Jordan comes primarily from the Jordan River Valley, groundwater sources, rainwater collection, and limited desalination plants. The agricultural sector accounts for the majority of national water demand, despite making only a minor contribution to GDP and national workforce aggregates. Other major users include the industrial, municipal, and tourism sectors. The stakeholders in the debate over current allocation and future investments include the Jordanian Water and other Ministries, donor countries, Inter-Governmental Organizations (IGOs), Jordan-based water advocacy groups, water consumers across sectors, and private investors. In preparation for the writing of this document, preliminary research was conducted using publicly available data and reports authored by both government and non-government sources. Subsequent field research in February 2008 facilitated interviews with Jordanian and international organizations directly involved in Jordanian water policy. The list of these interviews is included in Appendix A.

  • Report on Unhcr's Annual Consultations with Non-Governmental Organizations
    2008 Annual Consultations with NGOs REPORT ON UNHCR’S ANNUAL CONSULTATIONS WITH NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS 25-27 JUNE 2008 GENEVA, SWITZERLAND Abstract This report provides highlights of the Annual Consultations with NGOs, which this year brought together some 344 representatives from around the world, representing 206 different NGOs, UN and international organizations, of which 93 of these NGOs were national NGOs. The consultations were opened by UNHCR’s Deputy High Commissioner, and featured twelve Thematic Sessions and five Regional Sessions with the active involvement of some 100 resource persons from NGOs, academia, member states, and international and UN organizations. Participating NGOs also had space to organize seven side-meetings. To meet the interests of such a diverse group of participants, and since this year marked the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the consultations were structured around one theme, “Universal Human Rights for All”. The related sessions addressed were: • The use of human rights mechanisms for the protection of persons of concern, • Protecting women and children at risk, • First aid, recovery and referral for refugees and other migrants injured or traumatized crossing borders • Protection and assistance to IDPs in host communities and urban areas,• Exploring new areas of cooperation in resettlement between UNHCR and NGO • Detention monitoring • How are the guiding Principles on Internal Displacement used in the field • Ensuring post-primary education for adolescents and youth and employment creation • The Governance of Refugee Law, • The shrinking of humanitarian space, • Realizing the right to nationality • Urban refugees. The sessions adopted a round-table format to promote greater dialogue and contact among participants.

    FOR ALUMNI AND FRIENDS OF FLORIDA SOUTHERN COLLEGE OUTHERNNEWS S VOLUME 63 ISSUE 1 SPRING 2018 A letter from the president Art is an important component of human culture. Through the ages, artists have used their talents to express profound emotions and ideas. Indeed, museums oer us images of beauty, mystery, life commentary, and oen challenge us to change the way we look at the world. Therefore, I am enthusiastic about the new aliation between Florida Southern and the Polk Museum of Art. The museum has a long history of oering important exhibitions to Polk County residents and beyond, and now through this agreement, it will join the ranks of notable academic art museums in the nation. The success of the aliation has been supported greatly by J. William Meek III ’72, director emeritus of the Harmon-Meek Gallery in Naples. Mr. Meek and his wife, Barbara ’76, not only arranged for a significant collection of American figurative art to be donated to the permanent collection of the museum, but also contributed works from their own private collection. Their support and advocacy of this initiative create the foundation for a successful artistic venture for FSC. This edition of Southernnews will tell you about this valuable aliation and how it will strengthen both the College and the museum, which has been renamed the Polk Museum of Art at Florida Southern College. I hope you share the excitement and that you will add a visit to the museum to your schedule the next time you visit the campus. We continue to add dynamic new leadership to the College, including Dr.

It provides a timely reminder of the positive contribution our industry’s products and processes continue to make to our standards of living, health and the environment, he continued. Yet the “paradox is that an industry so central to the lives of people has to work so hard to be recognised as a force for good, not bad,” Crotty Tom Crotty noted. Despite being a key supplier to almost all industries, and Director, Ineos Group helping to transform the delivery of potable water, food, clothing, EPCA President healthcare, education, transportation, industrial production, communications and entertainment, the chemical industry is still viewed in a negative light. “Our successes go unnoticed and our failures get shouted from the rooftops. Yet without us, people wouldn’t have the The paradox is aspirins that cure their headaches or the toothpastes that clean their that an industry teeth, and their mobile phones wouldn’t work.

It endeavors to do this through leadership development, people-to-people programs, academic seminars, an annual Arab- U.S. policymakers' conference, specialized publications, and the participation of American students and faculty in Arab world study abroad and Arabic language learning experiences as well as intensive year-round and summer university student internships combined with an academic seminar in the nation's capital. The Council's vision for the U.S.-Arab relationship is one that rests on a solid, enduring foundation of strategic, economic, political, commercial, and defense cooperation, strengthened continuously by exchanges of present and emerging leaders among Americans and Arabs alike. The Council's mission is educational. It seeks to enhance American awareness and appreciation of the multi- faceted and innumerable benefits the United States has long derived and continues to obtain from its relations with the Arab world. In pursuit of its mission, the Council serves as a U.S.-Arab relations programmatic, informational, and human resources clearinghouse.
