The primary objective of this book is to unearth the Mosul
Incident, place it in a historical narrative and introduce it to
the literature. Despite creating a historical turning point, the
incident has not attracted the necessary attention in neither the
Ottoman nor Iraqi historiography until now. By interpreting the
preferences, policies and practices associated with this particular
incident, the book is engaged to analyze the Post-Constitutional
power shifts, perceptions of collective violence and the origins of
Arab-Kurdish Dispute. The banishment and murder of Sheikh Said
Barzanji who was the family head of Sadaat al-Barzanjiyya as the
most influential religious organization of region, created a
critical threshold in the history of Mosul. As the urban shootout
on January 5 turned into a provincial bloodshed, Kurdish Sayyids,
tribes and religious orders consolidated and revolted against the
Ottoman authorities. Governors who were polarized as Anti Sâdât
and Pro Sâdât allegedly misconducted their offices and misguided
the authorities of law enforcement and judiciary. By overcoming the
historical rupture between Ottoman Mosul and Modern Iraq, the book
introduces an analytical framework to associate the origins of
collective violence and ethnic fragmentation experienced in
todayâs Iraq with the past.
Marketing Online Education Programs: Frameworks for Promotion and
Communication provides relevant theoretical frameworks and the
latest empirical research findings in this field. Teachers are
adopting new technologies in their instructional strategies, be it
for course design, development or delivery. The field of distance
and online education is experiencing continuing growth. Marketing
for distance and online learning environments faces a number of
challenges in the form of delivering what these environments are
promising, how to find the right information, regular updating of
the courses and not to forget the effective user interaction with
the course developers and peers. This book provides an integrated
marketing communications perspective to communication and promotion
issues of online programs.
The purpose of this little book is to give a general idea of a few
of the great achievements of our time. Within such a limited space
it was impossible to even mention thousands more of the great
inventions and triumphs which mark the rushing progress of the
world in the present century; therefore, only those subjects have
been treated which appeal with more than passing interest to all.
For instance, the flying machine is engaging the attention of the
old, the young and the middle-aged, and soon the whole world will
be on the wing. Radium, "the revealer," is opening the door to
possibilities almost beyond human conception. Wireless Telegraphy
is crossing thousands of miles of space with invisible feet and
making the nations of the earth as one. 'Tis the same with the
other subjects, - one and all are of vital, human interest, and are
extremely attractive on account of their importance in the
civilization of today. Mighty, sublime, wonderful, as have been the
achievements of past science, as yet we are but on the verge of the
continents of discovery. Where is the wizard who can tell what lies
in the womb of time? Just as our conceptions of many things have
been revolutionized in the past, those which we hold to-day of the
cosmic processes may have to be remodeled in the future.
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.

If you feel lost or don't know where to turn to for guidance,
then you need to read the inspiring story of Brandon O. Severs
Sr.
Growing up, Severs was rejected by his peers and molested by a
family member. He finally found his niche in high school as a
Christian comedian, and life seemed full of promise. He got married
to a beautiful woman with a kind heart. Married just four months,
his bride was already pregnant and he was looking forward to being
a father.
But everything came to a screeching halt in one night when he
was shot and paralyzed during a home invasion. He spent months in
the hospital, and doctors had to amputate his left leg. A few short
years later, he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
In this uplifting account, he shares how his faith has gotten
him through so many tumultuous events. By examining his
relationship with God and asking key questions, he finds purpose in
his life and continues to inspire others.
Chase your dreams and provide for yourself and your family even
when you encounter challenges that seem impossible to overcome. Be
inspired by this true story and vow to survive no matter what the
situation.
It was noted in the preface of the book "Inequalities Involving
Functions and Their Integrals and Derivatives," Kluwer Academic
Publishers, 1991, by D.S. Mitrinovic, J.E. Pecaric and A.M. Fink;
since the writing of the classical book by Hardy, Littlewood and
Polya (1934), the subject of differential and integral inequalities
has grown by about 800%. Ten years on, we can confidently assert
that this growth will increase even more significantly. Twenty
pages of Chapter XV in the above mentioned book are devoted to
integral inequalities involving functions with bounded derivatives,
or, Ostrowski type inequalities. This is now itself a special
domain of the Theory of Inequalities with many powerful results and
a large number of applications in Numerical Integration,
Probability Theory and Statistics, Information Theory and Integral
Operator Theory. The main aim of the present book, jointly written
by the members of the Vic toria University node of RGMIA (Research
Group in Mathematical Inequali ties and Applications, http: I
/rgmia. vu. edu. au) and Th. M. Rassias, is to present a selected
number of results on Ostrowski type inequalities. Results for
univariate and multivariate real functions and their natural
applications in the error analysis of numerical quadrature for both
simple and multiple integrals as well as for the Riemann-Stieltjes
integral are given."
This book is a collection of original research and survey articles
on mathematical inequalities and their numerous applications in
diverse areas of mathematics and engineering. It includes chapters
on convexity and related concepts; inequalities for mean values,
sums, functions, operators, functionals, integrals and their
applications in various branches of mathematics and related
sciences; fractional integral inequalities; and weighted type
integral inequalities. It also presents their wide applications in
biomathematics, boundary value problems, mechanics, queuing models,
scattering, and geomechanics in a concise, but easily
understandable way that makes the further ramifications and future
directions clear. The broad scope and high quality of the
contributions make this book highly attractive for graduates,
postgraduates and researchers. All the contributing authors are
leading international academics, scientists, researchers and
scholars.
