The Audacity of Why The Audacity of whY Teen YMarch 16, 2013 “ Everyone here has the sense that right now is one of those moments when we are influencing the future.” The - Steve Jobs Audacity of whY Teen Welcome 03 Human evolution, invention, medicine, technology and relationships would have stood still without disruptors posing that simple, powerful question ‘why?’. There is no one more curious, no greater disruptor, than a teen on a mission. They prod, poke and dissect their worlds around them until they are confronted with Where Is TEDxTeen Taking Place? answers - or mysteries - that capture their imaginations. Nothing else will do. It could be said that Generation Y is more like Generation ‘whY?’ as they turn over established regimes, age-old thinking, and timeless truths, through social media, the power of crowds and an unswerving belief that they have the right to know ‘why?’ Meet the trail-blazers leading a global ‘whY’ revolution and be prepared to have your perceptions turned upside down. In the heart of SoHo NYC at the Scholastic Auditorium.

    WORLD SQUASH UPDATE Issue 83 November / December 2019 FOR ALL WSF REGIONAL & NATIONAL FEDERATIONS cc: WSF Regional Presidents, WSF Commission Members, Stakeholders, PSA members, SPINs, Media, Accredited Products and Companies CAPE TOWN HOSTS SUCCESSFUL AGM The World Squash Federation Annual General Meeting took place on 6 November in Cape Town, South Africa, hosted by Squash South Africa. The WSF Conference, which preceded the AGM, facilitated informal discussions and featured presentations to update the delegates on key initiatives - including the World Squash Officiating, a joint enterprise between the WSF and Professional Squash Association (PSA) to develop an online platform that will provide National Federations with the tools to develop refereeing in their country. The new initiative is scheduled to go live before the end of the year. Additionally James Sandwith, from BEBRAND, presented the findings of a strategic review commissioned by WSF, with the report now available for all member nations to appraise. The 49th Annual General Meeting, attended by representatives of 24 National Federations, saw delegates agree an amendment to the Articles of Association to reduce the risk of inappropriate leadership behavior and to ensure that delegates in attendance at an AGM have a formal connection with their National Federations. There were no changes to the standard Rules of Squash. However, the Rules of Squash 57 were updated, adding an extra ball rebound resilience at 33 degrees C that will help to ensure that the differential between blue and black balls - and their range of bounce - will be more uniform across the brands that are WSF-approved. The WSF Championship Regulations were updated with respect to player eligibility, the use of random draws and a new timeline and procedure for seeding juniors.

Terrorism, Islamization, and Human Rights: How Post 9/11 Pakistani English Literature Speaks to the World Abstract The start of the twenty-first century has witnessed a simultaneous rise of three areas of scholarly interest: 9/11 literature, human rights discourse, and War on Terror studies. The resulting intersections between literature and human rights, foregrounded by an overarching narrative of terror, have led to a new area of interdisciplinary enquiry broadly classed under human rights literature, at the point of the convergence of which lies the idea of human empathy.

  • Maria Toorpakai Wazir
    Maria Toorpakai Wazir L’atleta che sfida i talebani La chiamavano Changez Khan, perché aveva la tempra del guerriero tartaro Gengis Khan, ma quel nome conteneva un segreto. Un’identità inventata per liberare l’identità autentica. Maria Toorpakai Wazir, pakistana, top-player di squash in un paese in cui le donne non mostrano neanche il volto, è cresciuta fingendo di essere un uomo. Una storia che sembra uscita dalla penna di Tarah Ben Jelloun, lo scrittore marocchino che in Creatura di sabbia ha ritratto il personaggio di una bambina costretta a travestirsi da maschio, e che invece è diventata la ragione di una missione: generare dieci, cento, mille Maria. Un padre controcorrente Il Sud Waziristan, al confine tra Pakistan e Afghanistan, è terra di talebani. Qualcuno l’ha definito il posto più pericoloso del mondo; le ragazze non vanno a scuola e gli sport femminili sono considerati peccaminosi. È qui che Maria nasce nel 1990 da un capo tribù controcorrente, che sostiene le pari opportunità di genere. Istruzione, salute, indipendenza anche per le donne. Diritti negati dalla legge, che Shamsul Qayyum Wazir riconosce invece prima alla moglie, poi alle due figlie. Lascia loro la scelta di indossare o meno il burqa; poco importa che la comunità s’indigni e che la sua stessa famiglia d’origine lo rinneghi dichiarandolo pazzo. Solo dopo aver subito minacce di morte Shams abbandona con i propri cari il Sud Waziristan aprendo Il padre di Maria mentre predica la parità tra i sessi (© mariatoorpakai.org) le porte della sua nuova casa ai libri. Maria studia ma è insofferente.

  • Maria, La Ragazza Con La Racchetta «Così Cambierò Il Mio Pakistan»
    6/9/2016 Maria, la ragazza con la racchetta «Così cambierò il mio Pakistan» Maria, la ragazza con la racchetta «Così cambierò il mio Pakistan» «Nella nostra cultura, le ragazze devono vivere confinate tra quattro mura, nascondersi sotto il velo, starsene zitte e buone», dice Maria Toorpakai Wazir al Corriere. «Non è la religione, è la mentalità». Ma sin da quando Maria aveva 4 anni, erano chiare due cose: che non avrebbe rispettato le regole e che suo padre stava dalla sua parte. Maria è nata 25 anni fa nel Waziristan del Sud, nelle aree tribali pachistane al confine afghano, una terra incorniciata dall’Hindu Kush, bella da mozzare il fiato, ma anche uno dei luoghi del mondo più sconvolti dalla guerra e, da che lei ne abbia memoria, una roccaforte dei talebani. «Pochissime scuole, nessuna università né ospedali». Eppure, con l’appoggio della famiglia musulmana, e fingendosi un maschio, Maria è diventata una campionessa di squash, come racconta nell’autobiografia «La figlia diversa» appena pubblicata da Rizzoli. Una storia che dimostra che «anche lì il cambiamento sta arrivando». Dal 5 al 7 ottobre, ne parlerà in Vaticano a «Sport at the service of humanity» (Sport al servizio dell’umanità), la prima conferenza mondiale sulla fede e lo sport. «Emozionatissima», ci dice al telefono da Toronto che per lei «Papa Francesco è una specie di guru». Il falò dei vestiti da donna In un pomeriggio afoso di vent’anni fa, intrappolata in un pesante vestito tempestato di perline, Maria guardava dalla finestra i ragazzini che inseguivano il pallone felici e ne ebbe abbastanza.
