TESOL Teacher Education in a Transnational World critically
examines theories and practices in contemporary TESOL teacher
education to shed new light on the intersection of transnationalism
and language teacher education. It emphasizes the scholarship of
transnational mobility of language teachers, and showcases critical
research from diverse contexts. The book fills a critical research
gap by more fully examining the theory and practice of teacher
education in a changing time when national identities and
cross-border mobilities continue to figure prominently in scholarly
discussions. Through a diverse set of epistemological, historical
and theoretical perspectives along with methodological innovations,
contributors of this volume not only index the dynamism of the
scholarship of teacher education, but they also offer new forums
for lively pedagogical debates. Featuring contributions from
diverse educational and geographical contexts, including Europe,
Asia, North America, and Latin America, the book moves the existing
scholarship forward to more fully examine TESOL teacher education
in relation to transnationalism. This book will be of great
interest to academics, scholars, post-graduate students, teacher
educators, policymakers, curriculum specialists, administrators,
and other stakeholders interested in language teacher education,
TESOL and applied linguistics

Imagine the paradise of ancient Egypt: a lush green valley with a
gentle river, full of animals and birds of all sizes. The first
settlers, arriving by way of the desert, would have marveled at
this beautiful landscape. This awe held on through the first three
millennia of settlement in Egypt. Centered on careful observations
of the natural rhythms of their environment, particularly the Nile,
this enlightened civilization lived in a state of spiritual balance
and harmony they called "living in Maat." This state was further
enhanced by the sacred landscape of Egypt and the colossal
monuments and pyramids the Egyptians built to reflect the heavens,
thus creating a cosmic "spiritual engine" for the ancient world.
But sadly, the paradise and Maat of ancient Egypt were not to last,
and for the past two thousand years Egypt has experienced many
occupations by hostile forces bent on taking control of this
magical land. Exploring the exemplary social and cultural model
that produced the golden civilization of ancient Egypt as well as
the many waves of conquest and destruction up to the present day,
Robert Bauval and Ahmed Osman examine each phase of Egyptian
history from its origins and the Pharaonic period, through the
Roman conquest and its Christianization, to the Pan-Arabization of
Nasser and the ongoing Islamization that began with the Muslim
caliphate in the 7th century. They show how the current Islamic
rulers are actively working to eradicate all traces of Egypt's
spiritual roots, the source of the Western Mystery tradition. They
provide a revised portrait of the life of Muhammad, revealing his
connections to the Essene tradition, and explain how most Sharia
Law is not based on the Koran. Revealing how even the dams built on
the Nile are impeding Egypt's sacred role, the authors sound the
call for a return to the original tenets of Egyptian civilization,
one that sustained itself in harmony and peaceful creativity for
more than three millennia.
This edited book brings together chapters from diverse geographical
and educational contexts to examine the question of
transnationalism in English Language teacher education. While the
activities that connect people, institutions and cultural practices
across the borders of nation-states have gained interest in fields
such as applied linguistics, TESOL and migration studies in recent
years, there has been little research so far into how
transnationalism intersects with language teacher education, and
how existing practices can be better integrated into teacher
education programmes. The authors fill this gap by introducing and
examining existing transnational practices - including
cross-cultural settings, study abroad programmes and online teacher
education - then offering multiple dialogues on mobility of
knowledge, practice and pedagogy in teacher education. This book
will be of interest to language teachers, teacher educators, and
students and scholars of applied linguistics, cross-cultural
studies, and migration studies.

In both Islamic and non-Islamic countries many population groups
worldwide, such as vegetarians and people of the Jewish faith,
consumers do not eat pork. Amongst these groups consumers are
concerned about importing processed food which may contain or has
been contaminated with pork or swine-derived products. This is
especially true of halal foods in Muslim communities where the
foods may be prepared or processed utilizing one of more non-halal
ingredients. Halal and kosher foodstuff play an incredibly
important role in the Muslim and Jewish diet, economy and health.
This makes halal and kosher food product quality, safety and shelf
life preservation a major topic in these communities and for the
manufacturers of halal and kosher food products. Halal and
Kosher Food: Integration of Quality and Safety for Global Market
Trends covers a wide range of important topics in halal foods
including quality, standards, safety of food additives,
antimicrobial and veterinary drug residues, aflatoxin in feedstuff,
application of Hazards Analysis and critical Control Points
(HACCP). Important data regarding halal and kosher food
similarities and differences are covered in full. Best practices in
halal food product manufacturing are covered, plus the importance
of halal food safety for consumer health. Written by elite
international halal food experts, this work differs from other
books on the subject which focus on history, legislation and
certification. Readers can utilize this book as an orientation and
practical guidebook to recognize the quality and safety of halal
food products.Â
This book describes an accurate analysis technique for energy
systems based on formal methods-computer-based mathematical logic
techniques for the specification, validation, and verification of
the systems. Correctness and accuracy of the financial,
operational, and implementation analysis are of the paramount
importance for the materialization of the future energy systems,
such as smart grids, to achieve the objectives of
cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and quality-of-service. In this
regard, the book develops formal theories of microeconomics,
asymptotic, and stability to support the formal analysis of
generation and distribution cost, smart operations, and processing
of energy in a smart grid. These formal theories are also employed
to formally verify the cost and utility modeling for: Energy
generation and distribution; Asymptotic bounds for online
scheduling algorithms for plug-in electric vehicles; and Stability
of the power converters for wind turbines. The proposed approach
results in mechanized proofs for the specification, validation, and
verification of corresponding smart grid problems. The formal
mathematical theories developed can be applied to the formal
analysis of several other hardware and software systems as well,
making this book of interest to researchers and practicing
engineers in a variety of power electronic fields.
Called the "Mirror of Heaven" by Hermes-Thoth and regarded as the
birthplace of civilization, science, religion, and magic, Egypt has
ignited the imagination of all who come in contact with it since
ancient times--from Pythagoras and Plato to Alexander the Great and
Napoleon to modern Egyptologists the world over. Yet, despite this
preeminence in the collective mind, Egypt has suffered considerable
destruction over the centuries. Even before the burning of the
Great Library at Alexandria, the land of the pharaohs was pillaged
by its own people. With the arrival of foreign rulers, both Arabic
and European, the destruction and thievery continued along with
suppression of ancient knowledge as some rulers sought to cleanse
Egypt of its "pagan" past. Exploring the many cycles of destruction
and suppression in Egypt as well as moments of salvation, such as
the first registered excavations by Auguste Mariette, Robert Bauval
and Ahmed Osman investigate the many conquerors of Egypt through
the millennia as well as what has happened to famous artifacts such
as the Rosetta Stone. They show how Napoleon, through his invasion,
wanted to revive ancient Egyptian wisdom and art because of its
many connections to Freemasonry. They reveal how the degradation of
monuments, theft of relics, and censorship of ancient teachings
continue to this day. Exposing recent cover-ups during the tenure
of Antiquities Minister Zahi Hawass, they explain how new
discoveries at Giza were closed to further research. Clearing
cultural and historical distortions, the authors reveal the
long-hidden and persecuted voice of ancient Egypt and call for the
return of Egypt to its rightful place as "the Mother of Nations"
and "the Mirror of Heaven."
A provocative thesis that the historical Jesus was connected to the
royal 18th dynasty of Egypt
- Contends that Jesus, Joshua, and Tutankhamun were the same person
- Provides evidence from church documentation, the Koran, the
Talmud, and archaeology that the Messiah came more than a
millennium before the first century C.E.
- Shows that Christianity evolved from Essene teachings
Although it is commonly believed that Jesus lived during the first
century C.E., there is no concrete evidence to support this fact
from the Roman and Jewish historians who would have been his
contemporaries. The Gospel writers themselves were of a later
generation, and many accounts recorded in the Old Testament and
Talmudic commentary refer to the coming of the Messiah as an event
that had already occurred.
Using the evidence available from archaeology, the Dead Sea
Scrolls, the Koran, the Talmud, and biblical sources, Ahmed Osman
provides a compelling case that both Jesus and Joshua were one and
the same--a belief echoed by the early Church Fathers--and that
this person was likewise the pharaoh Tutankhamun, who ruled Egypt
between 1361 and 1352 B.C.E. and was regarded as the spiritual son
of God. Osman contends that the Essene Christians--who followed
Jesus' teachings in secret after his murder--only came into the
open following the execution of their prophet John the Baptist by
Herod, many centuries later. Yet it was also the Essenes who,
following the death of Tutankhamun and his father Akhenaten
(Moses), secretly kept the monotheistic religion of Egypt alive.
The Essenes believed themselves to be the people of the New
Covenant established between their Lord and themselves by the
Teacher of Righteousness, who was murdered by a wicked priest. The
Dead Sea Scrolls support Osman's contention that this Teacher of
Righteousness was in fact Jesus.
An investigation into the real historical figure of King David and
the real location of the Temple of Solomon During the last two
centuries, thousands of ancient documents from different sites in
the Middle East have been uncovered. However, no archaeological
discovery speaks of King David or Solomon, his son and successor,
directly or in directly. Was King David a real person or a legend
like King Arthur? Proposing that David was a genuine historical
figure, Ahmed Osman explores how his identity may be radically
different than what is described in religious texts. Drawing on
recent archaeological, historical, and biblical evidence from
Egypt, Osman shows that David lived in Thebes, Egypt, rather than
Jerusalem; that he lived five centuries earlier than previously
thought, during the 15th rather than the 10th century B.C.; and
that David was not a descendant of Isaac but was, in fact, Isaac's
father. The author also reveals David's true Egyptian identity:
Pharaoh Tuthmosis III of the 18th Dynasty. Confirming evidence from
rabbinic literature that indicates Isaac was not Abraham's son,
despite the version provided in Genesis, Osman demonstrates how
biblical narrators replaced David with Abraham the Hebrew to hide
the Egyptian identity of Isaac's father. He shows how Egyptian
historical and archaeological sources depict figures that match
David's and Solomon's known characteristics in many ways, including
accounts of a great empire between the Euphrates and the Nile that
corresponds with David's empire as described in the Bible.
Unveiling the real history behind the biblical story of King David,
Osman reveals that the great ancestor of the Israelites was, in
fact, Egyptian.
The discipline of environmental design is a branch of the physical
fields of design. Architectural design is a discipline of
environmental design. Architectural design styles are of four
categories; styles influenced by other styles, styles transmitted
to other places, physical revived styles, and spiritual revived
styles. Each one comprises of different styles. The research looks
at the impact of the introduction of intensive architectural design
educational programs, fair architectural design competitions,
economical considerations, and finally the impact political wills
have on diversified creative and innovative architectural design
styles. As the research adopted the four categories mentioned
earlier each one is exemplified by one building considered as the
case study. These four criterions; the advanced technology of the
time, which leads to costly money expenditure, the unique design
concepts and philosophies, the compatibility with the site, and the
solvency symbolism especially when has effects on people's
socio-cultural lives were studied and analyzed in this order in
each case study.
Spider mites belonging to the family Tetranychidae are major
agricultural pests that often cause sever damage to a wide range of
vegetables, and ornamental plants in greenhouses and outdoors and
several other agricultural crops.The two spotted spider mite is
considered to be the most dangerous species of this family.It is
difficult to manage this group of mite pests by chemical compounds
because a kind of resistance can be developed within a few years.
Therefore, it was necessary to develop some other control tactics
such the use of biological control agents.Predatory mites
especially the mesostigmatid mites are considered to be among the
most promising bioagent of spider mites.Also, species belonging to
the prostigmated mites of the family Stigmaeidae, especially
Agistemus exsertus Gonzalez, are well known as efficient predators
of spider mites.Apart from the predatory mites, some insects are
also known to have the ability to be natural enemies of spider
mites.The predaceous insects such as Stethorus species are
acariphagous where they feed successfully on spider mites.
