  • Annual Report 2019
    ANNUAL REPORT 2019 PREFACE Martin Aufmuth – first chairman Dear friends, helpers and supporters, The work of OneDollarGlasses is also severely affected by the global Corona pandemic. For several weeks we have not been able to run eye camps; almost all activi- ties in the project countries had to be stopped. Our cur- rent focus is on the health of our employees and pati- ents, and the preservation of the local structures that we have worked so hard to build. Today, our work is more important than ever: In October 2019, the WHO published its first global report on vision. According to this report, around 950 million people need glasses but cannot afford them or don’t have access to basic optical care. There are millions of children who cannot learn properly at school and countless adults who cannot work properly. These numbers are so large that it is impossible to grasp them properly. For me they only become tangible through my personal encounters with people whom we were able to help with glasses. Like Alceneide, whom I met in a small village in the Amazon. Her OneDollarGlas- ses had fallen into the river while canoeing and her sons had to dive for three hours until they finally found the glasses again. Or the girl in Ethiopia, who despite her severe myopia had good grades. We asked, “How do you get such good grades despite your poor eyesight?” She said: “During the break I always go quickly to the black- board and learn everything by heart. Then I sit back down.” How motivated and intelligent does a child have to be to get through school despite her sight problems?

    Stand-Up Comedy and Everyday Life: Post-war British Comedy and the Subversive Strain. Christopher Ritchie. Goldsmiths College, London, Ph. D Drama, 1998. - ME Ia- AM GOLDSMITHS 87 0079879 6 Abstract. This thesis "examinee,,, its to life , . stand-up comedy and relation everyday and presents a model of everyday life in the commodity society. It seeks to define stand up comedy and how it works as a performance mode and will offer a definition of the stand-up comedian. It will examine how jokes reflect opinions and attitudes within everyday life and how they can communicate negative cultural myths, stereotypes and ideologies but also reach beyond the merely absurd and comical to present authentic moments that enable us to locate the truth about ourselves. The thesis seeks to locate a stand-up comedy that enables us to understand ourselves in relation to life in the commodity society. The thesis traces a subversive lineage through post-Second World War comedy from The Goon Show through the satirists of the 1960s and Monty Pylhon's Flying Circus to Alternative Comedy and stand-up comedians in the present day. The 'Alternative Comedy moment' between 1979 and 1981 is central to the thesis as is the relation to American stand-up comedy, Punk and the rise of reactionary humour in Britain. Alternative Comedy is identified and placed in a social, political and counter-cultural context. The achievements and failures of this comedy will be discussed with particular focus on the redefinition of the role of women and sexual politics in stand-up comedy and the creation of a thriving London cabaret and comedy scene.

  • (Don't) Wear Glasses: the Performativity of Smart Girls On
    GIRLS WHO (DON'T) WEAR GLASSES: THE PERFORMATIVITY OF SMART GIRLS ON TEEN TELEVISION Sandra B. Conaway A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2007 Committee: Kristine Blair, Advisor Julie Edmister Graduate Faculty Representative Erin Labbie Katherine Bradshaw © 2007 Sandra Conaway All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Kristine Blair, Advisor This dissertation takes a feminist view of t television programs featuring smart girls, and considers the “wave” of feminism popular at the time of each program. Judith Butler’s concept from Gender Trouble of “gender as a performance,” which says that normative behavior for a given gender is reinforced by culture, helps to explain how girls learn to behave according to our culture’s rules for appropriate girlhood. Television reinforces for intellectual girls that they must perform their gender appropriately, or suffer the consequences of being invisible and unpopular, and that they will win rewards for performing in more traditionally feminine ways. 1990-2006 featured a large number of hour-long television dramas and dramedies starring teenage characters, and aimed at a young audience, including Beverly Hills, 90210, My So-Called Life, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Freaks and Geeks, and Gilmore Girls. In most teen shows there is a designated smart girl who is not afraid to demonstrate her interest in math or science, or writing or reading. In lieu of ethnic or racial minority characters, she is often the “other” of the group because of her less conventionally attractive appearance, her interest in school, her strong sense of right and wrong, and her lack of experience with boys.

  • Read the First Three Chapters
    CHAPTER 1 DAR ES SALAAM, TANZANIA I SHOULDN’T HAVE come, Lawrence Rosen thought as he stared out the window of the cab. I should have stayed home and pretended I’d never received it. But he had received the email. And opened it. And read it. Mr. Rosen— April 12th, 2006. A flight to Portugal. You were one of the prisoner’s escorts. I’m sure you haven’t forgotten about the trip. I’m willing to make sure your name isn’t included when the story is leaked, but only if you speak with me first. One chance. Saturday. 8:30 p.m. Kilimanjaro Restaurant in the Majestic Hotel, Dar es Salaam. There was no signature, and when he tried to send a reply, he received a message telling him the address didn’t exist. For twenty-four hours he had done nothing, hoping he could just forget about the whole thing. But the sender had been right. He did remember the flight, and he certainly remembered the prisoner. It was a taint he could never wash off. When Saturday came, he boarded an early morning flight headed southwest from his current home in Dubai to Tanzania. “How much longer?” he asked his taxi driver. “Soon, soon. Fifteen minutes, no more.” Rosen looked at his watch. It was after eight already. Fifteen minutes would probably be more like twenty or thirty, meaning he’d barely arrive on time. This is a mistake. I should’ve ignored the email. Easy to say, but how could he have done that, really? If his name came out in association with what had happened, he had no doubt he’d be the one receiving a prisoner escort.

  • The Standard
    THE STANDARD Corps of Cadets Texas A&M University 14 Aug 2015 INTRODUCTION Four documents cover every facet of life in the Cadet Corps: The Cadence, The Standard, The Plans and Programs Guide, and The Cadet Resident Handbook. The Cadence is a pocket-size summary of information specifically intended for freshman cadets. The Standard describes the members of the Corps and what they endeavor to become. It is about the Corps’ mission, vision, priorities, and values. The Standard is at the very heart of the Corps’ disciplined way of life. It is about both ideals and the practical aspects of daily life in the Corps. Its carefully crafted policies, guidelines, standards, and rules are designed to support each cadet’s academic success, physical and mental well-being, and development as a leader. It includes information relevant to every cadet, regardless of rank or class, regarding administration, operations, scholastics, discipline, Physical Fitness, and cadet life. The Plans and Programs Guide is an in-depth manual for Cadet Leadership. In instances where The Cadence and/or The Standard lack details on a given subject, cadets should refer to The Plans and Programs Guide. Specifically, the PPG includes information on Corps membership and Corps organizations, Cadet Command and position descriptions, Uniform and Grooming Regulations, Close Order Dill, Intramurals, Awards, Safety, Risk Management, Assistance Programs, and Incident Reporting procedures. The Cadet Resident Handbook includes specific housing and safety-related information relevant to every cadet living in the dorms. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION Error! Bookmark not defined.

After he’d moved back home to Ohio, where he’d spent most of his life, he still liked to tell people he was from New York even though it wasn’t true.

He’d learned quickly that the heights of the buildings were things only tourists admired. The places that Christopher learned to love couldn’t be seen from the sky: the underground clubs he’d discovered by accident, the hole-in- the-wall co#ee shop he’d learned to rely on during exams, a friend’s apartment he’d adapted as a second home. The joy of arriving in the city only lasted a few minutes before hesitation began to set in.
