Rotary Information Rotary information was delivered by PDG Jeffrey Afful on “Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI)”. Rotary Leadership Institute (RLI) is a multi-District, grassroots leadership development program, an official programme of Rotary but is highly recommended by the Rotary International (RI) Board. The RLI believes that quality club leadership (at all levels) is essential to the future of Rotary in a complex and an ever- changing world. RLI offers a 3-day non-consecutive quality leadership development courses for potential club leaders and indeed all club members. Differences between RI Training and RLI a) RI training are usually role-based (GETS/PETS, etc.) or topic based (Membership, TRF, PI, etc.). RLI courses are designed to develop leadership skills and provide Rotary knowledge. b) RLI uses facilitation methods and hence very interactive. c) Class sizes in RLI training are controlled, maximum size is twenty-five (25). As at 18th March, 2020, fourteen (14) RRC members have participated in RLI Training.

    REPRESENTAÇÕES, REPRESENTATIVIDADES E DISMORFIAS: MIDIATIZAÇÃO DAS IDENTIDADES [ ARTIGO ] Ricardo Alexino Ferreira Universidade de São Paulo Escola de Comunicações e Artes Ricardo Alexino Ferreira Representações, representatividades e dismorfias: midiatização das identidades 342 [ RESUMO ABSTRACT RESUMEN ] “Representações” e “representatividades” não são palavras sinônimas, mas trazem a proble- matização dos negros e de outros grupos das diversidades em suas interseções com a mídia. Este artigo procura conceituar os termos e demonstrar as diferenças de entendimentos entre o discurso científico e o da militância. Atualmente, representatividades têm sido amplamente faladas e positivadas, principalmente em produtos midiáticos. Alguns grupos sociais negros consideram que o simples fato de haver protagonistas negros em mídias, uma maioria de atores negros em uma obra ou apresentadores negros em telejornais, já seria suficiente para falar em representatividade. Por outro lado, o termo representação, tido como linhas de pesquisa desde o final dos anos 1980, tem sido reelaborado e desenvolvido em um campo epistemoló- gico que possibilita entender os fenômenos étnico-sociais, desconstruindo e reconstruindo o termo representatividade, colocando-o em um contexto mais crítico. Palavras-chave: Representações. Representatividades. Dismorfias. Identidades. Mídia. Representations and representations are not synonymous words, but bring the problematization of blacks and other groups of diversities in their intersections with the media. This article seeks to conceptualize the terms and demonstrate the differences of understanding between scientific discourse and that of militancy. Currently, representations have been widely spoken and positivized, especially in media products. Some Black social groups consider that the mere fact of having Black protagonists or a majority of Black actors in a work or Black presenters on television would be enough to talk about representativity.

  • The Timeline of African-American History
    THE TIMELINE OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY Presented By: Joseph Campbell In order for you to know your future, you must understand the present. To understand the present, you must learn from the past. African History More than 3000 years before Christ and the Christian era, in a time before the European and Asian Invasions, Arab Expansion, British Colonization and Slavery, Ancient Egypt was the home to 30 Egyptian Dynasties from 2920 BC – 332 BC before finally falling to the Roman Empire. Nubians were the first human race on earth and rulers of the Kingdom of Kush (Nubia). The ancient Egyptians adopted most of the Kushite customs and traditions. Nubians lived in Northern Sudan and Southern Egypt along the Nile River. The Egyptian Pyramids are one of the 7 wonders of the world. Egyptians were Africans and their skin was Black just as that of the Nubians. Once upon a time, Africans were the Kings and Queens of Egypt and Nubia. The Egyptian pyramids were built to be tombs of the Pharaohs while Nubian pyramids were symbols of wealth and stature. The pyramids were aligned with the four corners of the compass in order to reach the heavens and were the influence for the pyramids found in China, Peru, Mexico, Indonesia and the tower of Babel in Iraq. The greatness of Egypt is still being talked about and studied to this day. Be proud of your heritage. Be proud of your history. Be proud of being Black because we are the children of the 1st and greatest civilization that has ever lived.

  • “Evas De Exportación”: La Construcción De La Imagen Del Perú a Través De Certámenes De Belleza (1952-1982)
    PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA DEL PERÚ FACULTAD DE LETRAS Y CIENCIAS HUMANAS “EVAS DE EXPORTACIÓN”: LA CONSTRUCCIÓN DE LA IMAGEN DEL PERÚ A TRAVÉS DE CERTÁMENES DE BELLEZA (1952-1982) TESIS PARA OBTENER EL TÍTULO PROFESIONAL DE LICENCIADA EN HISTORIA QUE PRESENTA LA BACHILLERA ILSE MARÍA LUISA DE YCAZA CLERC ASESORA: DRA. MAGALLY ALEGRE HENDERSON Lima, septiembre de 2020 “En un año o dos, te prometo, este pueblo verá una transformación… Imprimiremos periódicos a diario, con imágenes de seductoras muchachas. El mundo apreciará nuestro progreso a partir de aquellas que ganen certámenes de belleza, mientras Lagos construye nuevas fábricas a diario” - Wole Soyinka Adaptación de The Lion and the Jewel (1959) “Nada es más importante que enseñarle a una niña a ocupar espacio en la sociedad y a elevarse a sí misma” - Zozibini Tunzi, minutos antes de ser coronada miss Universo (2019) 2 SUMILLA El propósito de este trabajo es analizar las variaciones en la construcción de la imagen- país del Perú a través de su participación en certámenes de belleza internacionales durante la segunda mitad del siglo XX, desde la vuelta a la democracia postodriista, pasando por el golpe de Estado de las Fuerzas Armadas, hasta los inicios de la crisis de los ochenta. Se buscará demostrar, a través de una revisión detallada de la prensa, fuentes audiovisuales, fotografías y algunos testimonios orales, que la disputa para definir al Perú fue mutable y permeable hasta en los ámbitos más “banales” de la vida cotidiana y la cultura popular. Como hitos principales, se consideran las coronaciones de Gladys Zender y Madeleine Hartog-Bel en Miss Universo 1957 y Miss Mundo 1967, respectivamente, dos ejemplos de ideales estéticos que no necesariamente coincidían con la realidad étnica del país y que hacían referencia a una “exportación de Evas”, en tanto materias primas humanas.
