  • Executive Summary
    OSCAR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OSCAR EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WHAT’S THE STORY Oscar is a revolutionary, new Kind of insurance coMpany putting a major staKe in the ground to advance a tech-start-up-like, consuMer- driven healthcare experience. With Oscar and its “SiMple” plans, MeMbers receive free doctor visits, free preventive care, and free generic drugs. All eleMents of the Oscar plans are designed to cater to the Modern consumer, including slicK insurance cards sent in a box (a la receiving a brand new iPhone), a FacebooK-esque online portal that tracKs meMbers’ medical history, a wearable device and other technology handouts, health-incentivized rebates, price transparency tools, and doctors available anytiMe for minor symptoms and conditions. The coMpany’s priMary target as a start-up is on the individual insurance MarKet. Future plans are to expand Oscar to the sMall-group MarKet and eventually to large eMployers. The goal is to “win custoMers in today’s world while siMultaneously preparing for a world of consumer-centric health insurance that’s not quite here yet.” The coMpany was founded because of a frustrating experience by one of its founders related to a coMplicated bill froM a traditional insurer. He said, “I’m overeducated, and I had no idea what it all Meant. So I thought, OK, how can we take technology, data, and design and Make this transparent and easy to understand?” Oscar distinguished itself early via its quirKy subway advertising in New YorK City with a younger generation tone and imagery. It partners with MagnaCare’s local provider network in New York, and with QualCare’s in New Jersey.

  • Evolution of US-Israel Relations During Trump Presidency
    Evolution of US-Israel Relations During Trump Presidency By South Front Region: Middle East & North Africa, USA Global Research, August 16, 2020 Theme: History South Front 14 August 2020 Preferential treatment for Israel has long been a prerequisite for success in the corridors of power in Washington, where ambitious politicians long ago learned to fear the wrath of ‘the Israel lobby’, and at the same time yearn for the deluge of ‘Benjamins’ and other fringe benefits that ‘the lobby’ in all its forms and manifestations can muster. Nonetheless, relations between the leadership of the two countries have reached new heights – and plunged new depths – during the Trump administration. The United States under the Trump administration has undergone a shift in its foreign policy, with the new president regularly insulting and expressing contempt for the US’ strategic allies and threatening to dismantle the bilateral and multilateral arrangements that they have developed over the course of many years to organize and institutionalize their relations. The one exception from the outset was the US ‘special relationship’ with Israel. The Foreign Policy Institute summarized the differences between the approaches of the Obama and Trump presidencies to foreign policy in the following manner: “Trump is a kind of illiberal alter ego of Obama. Whereas Obama looked to use force alongside allies (“leading from behind” in the 2011 Libya War), Trump has long been disdainful toward America’s coalition partners. In 1987, Trump paid for an advertisement in theNew York Times that railed against allies, “taking advantage of the United States.” As president, Trump has been deeply critical of trade agreements and has withdrawn from more treaties and organizations than all the other post-Cold War U.S.

  • Polscy Sneakerheadzi
    Uniwersytet Warszawski Wydział Polonistyki Anna Kordus Nr albumu: 253712 Polscy sneakerheadzi Praca magisterska na kierunku Kulturoznawstwo – Wiedza o kulturze Praca wykonana pod kierunkiem dra Romana Chymkowskiego Zakład Kultury Współczesnej IKP UW Warszawa, wrzesień 2014 1 Oświadczenie kierującego pracą Oświadczam, że niniejsza praca została przygotowana pod moim kierunkiem i stwierdzam, że spełnia ona warunki do przedstawienia jej w postępowaniu o nadanie tytułu zawodowe- go. Data Podpis kierującego pracą Oświadczenie autora (autorów) pracy Świadom odpowiedzialności prawnej oświadczam, że niniejsza praca dyplomowa została napisana przez mnie samodzielnie i nie zawiera treści uzyskanych w sposób niezgodny z obowiązującymi przepisami. Oświadczam również, że przedstawiona praca nie była wcześniej przedmiotem procedur zwią- zanych z uzyskaniem tytułu zawodowego w wyższej uczelni. Oświadczam ponadto, że niniejsza wersja pracy jest identyczna z załączoną wersją elek- troniczną. Data Podpis autora (autorów) pracy 2 Streszczenie Sneakerhead posiada w swojej kolekcji od kilkudziesięciu do kilkuset par obuwia sportowego. Poświęca swojej pasji wiele czasu, zaangażowania i pieniędzy. Jest aktywny w grupie podobnych mu kolekcjonerów i tworzy z nimi interesujące relacje. Mimo złożo- ności całego zjawiska jakim jest kolekcjonowanie butów sportowych ciężko znaleźć opra- cowania na ten temat. Moja praca ma na celu przybliżenie tego zjawiska. Analiza powstała w głównej mierze na podstawie wywiadów oraz obserwacji uczestniczącej. Punktem wyjścia dla pracy jest uregulowanie słownictwa związanego z polskimi sneakerheadami i ich pasją. Dla nadania dalszym rozważaniom odpowiedniego kontekstu w pracy po krótce przybliżona została historia obuwia oraz jego rola w kulturze. Duża część analizy jest oczywiście poświęcona kolekcjom sneakerheadów oraz relacjach jakie łączą ich ze zbieranymi przedmiotami. Ważne miejsce w pracy zajmuje rola nostalgii i tęsknoty za dzieciństwem wśród sneakerheadów.
