Relational Database Development Made Easy provides you with the building blocks for building any relational database from a paper-based design - it doesn't matter if your database design has two or two hundred tables, this book tells you exactly what you have to do to build your database using Microsoft Access 2013. Many database books do little more than run you through the features of the particular package covered, but without quite getting around to telling you how to build a database. This book, however, lets you get on with building your database quietly and without fuss. The book shows how to progress from nothing but a paper-based design to a working relational database. As we jog through the worked examples, the concepts are explained in simple, jargon-free language, so that those who have never built a database before (i.e. the intended market for this book) can keep up without trouble.

In 1913, four years before he converted to Islam and seventeen years before he would publish his renowned translation of the Quran, Marmaduke Pickthall journeyed to Turkey to investigate the state of the country after the Ottoman coup d'état earlier that year. A self-professed lover of the East and of Islam, Pickthall's curiosity drove him to take lodgings with an expat English woman who had adopted a Turkish way of living. During his stay, Pickthall spoke with Turks, Greeks, Armenians and foreigners about politics, religion, gender and war. In With the Turk in Wartime, Pickthall draws on vivid descriptions of Turkish scenes, impassioned political discussions and humorous incidents arising from cultural differences, and explores the role of foreign powers in Turkey and the fate of a people he holds dear. Infused with the author's kind-hearted and openminded sensibility, this travel journal is sure to inform and delight.

At a time when misogyny and hostile attitudes towards women are plaguing Muslim communities throughout the world, Dr Jasser Auda presents a timely and vital challenge to the contentious issue of women's access to the mosque, expounding the Islamic perspective. The initial rights that Islam made sacrosanct for women have been tarnished over the centuries by patriarchal structures and cultural limitations which are far removed from Islamic ideals. Using multiple references to the Quran and the Prophetic traditions, Auda builds a provocative and eye-opening narrative which tackles the issue of women in the mosque head on. Auda explores the controversial interpretations that arise from so called 'problem' hadiths, and addresses the topic of female leadership from both theological and social angles, as well as tackling the ongoing issue of gender segregation. Reclaiming The Mosque is a crucial response to the current trials facing Muslim communities, and moreover it offers a clear and cohesive call to action that harks back to the Islamic principles of freedom, justice, and human rights.

In light of rampant globalisation and intolerance of cultural particularities, Abdullah Bin Bayyah outlines the Islamic view of human rights in comparison with the Western position elucidated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In this short but detailed book, bin Bayyah expounds the meaning of human rights in Islam based on the Islamic Sacred Law. He looks to the past, utilizing examples from the time of the Prophet to prove the reality of equality, and looks to the present day as well. Islam & Human Rights: A Conversation is a conversation on freedom, women's rights and consultation (shura) and democracy. In the latter part of the book, bin Bayyah speaks to how Islamic criminal legislation protects the rights of individuals and groups, and compares the evolution of human rights in the West and in Islam. Especially interested in relativism and universalism in human rights, bin Bayyah asks: should civilisational diversity and the right of cultural difference affect human rights? In an exploration of this question, he delineates the bases for disagreement and illustrates the stakes using the texts of a few declarations from Muslim-majority countries.

Κανείς δεν δίνει τόση σημασία στο τι τρώνε όσο ένας bodybuilder. Οι θερμίδες πρέπει να είναι σωστές και οι μακροεντολές πρέπει να είναι ισορροπημένες, και δεν μπορούμε να ξεχάσουμε και τις μικροσκοπικές. Στη συνέχεια, υπάρχουν οι διάφορες φιλοσοφίες διατροφής που διεκδικούν την pole position - διαλείπουσα νηστεία, ποδήλατο υδατανθράκων, κετογονική και ευέλικτη δίαιτα, για να αναφέρουμε μερικές. Λοιπόν, ανεξάρτητα από τις προτιμήσεις σας, αυτές οι συνταγές bodybuilding θα σας καλύψουν. Εδώ θα βρείτε λίγα από όλα που θα σας βοηθήσουν να κάνετε την προετοιμασία του γεύματός σας με επιτυχία, από υψηλές θερμίδες και υδατάνθρακες έως χαμηλούς υδατάνθρακες και υδατάνθρακες, γρήγορα και εύκολα έως πιο εμπλεκόμενα (και ανταποδοτικά!). Α, και υπάρχει και άφθονη πρωτεΐνη, φυσικά! Το Bodybuilding είναι μια λεπτή ισορροπία μεταξύ της οικοδόμησης μυών και της καύσης λίπους. Χρειάζεστε επαρκείς θερμίδες για να αυξήσετε τη μυϊκή μάζα, αλλά χρειάζεστε επίσης θερμιδικό έλλειμμα για να κάψετε το αποθηκευμένο λίπος. Ακούγεται αδύνατο, αλλά δεν είναι. Το μυστικό? Βασικά μαθηματικά. Ή, όπως αναφέρεται στον κόσμο της φυσικής κατάστασης η Εξίσωση Ισοζυγίου Ενέργειας. Με απλά λόγια, όσο περισσότερη μυϊκή μάζα έχετε και όσο πιο δραστήριοι είστε, τόσο περισσότερο χρειάζεται 7 να φάτε. Αυτό συμβαίνει επειδή όσο περισσότερη άπαχη μυϊκή μάζα έχετε, τόσο περισσότερη ενέργεια (ευχαριστώ, φαγητό!) χρειάζεται για να μετακινήσετε αυτόν τον μυ. Οτιδήποτε, από βασικές λειτουργίες όπως η αναπνοή, η πέψη και οι χτύποι της καρδιάς σας, μέχρι το περπάτημα και τη μεταφορά των ρούχων στις σκάλες ή πιο σκόπιμη άσκηση όπως το τρέξιμο ή η ώθηση σοβαρού βάρους στο γυμναστήριο-το σώμα σας χρειάζεται ενέργεια και αν κάνετε Όλες αυτές οι εργασίες με περισσότερο άπαχο μυ, χρειάζεστε περισσότερο καύσιμο. Πριν πάτε τρέχοντας στο ψυγείο, ας δούμε το άλλο άκρο του φάσματος. Όταν τρώμε περισσότερες θερμίδες από όσες χρησιμοποιεί το σώμα μας, όλες αυτές οι επιπλέον θερμίδες αποθηκεύονται ως λίπος.Αυτός είναι ο λόγος που πολλοί άνθρωποι που κάνουν φαράγγι για να δυναμώσουν, δεν γίνονται ποτέ αδύνατος και τεμαχισμένοι.

This is the second book in the Family of the Raj series. The first book covered the story of the O'Kinealy family from Co. Cavan in southern Ireland. James O'Kinealy emigrated to India arriving on 2nd February 1862 to join the Indian Civil Service.

He became a High Court Judge in the Bengal Judiciary. His eldest son Frederick studied medicine, joining the Indian Medical Service in 1891. He later became Surgeon General of Bengal and accompanied HRH Edward Prince of Wales as Chief Medical Officer to the tour party of 1921-22 to India and Burma. His detailed diaries of the tour are published for the first time.This second book is the biography of George Morton, the author's father. Born in 1893 of humble origin, he trained as an accountant with Deloitte, Plender and Griffiths, before enlisting in the 11th Royal Fusiliers in 1914. He fought his war in all the major battles of the Somme before being seriously wounded at the Battle of Boom Ravine on 17th February 1917. His letters to his sister tell the story of his experiences from the trenches; he survived 19 months when the average life of a subaltern was measured in weeks.After convalescing from his wounds, which included the loss of half of his right foot, he sailed to India in November 1919 to join Bird and Company in Calcutta, then the largest company in India employing over 100,000 people. His career progressed steadily, becoming chief accountant, before meeting and marrying, in September 1929, the author's mother and Frederick's daughter, Doreen O'Kinealy.Their life in India and the arrival of John and his two elder sisters are celebrated through a number of letters and photos including an account of three major treks into Sikkim and Tibet. George became senior partner in 1939 at the onset of war, becoming Chairman of the Bengal Chamber and Associated Chambers of Commerce, membership of the Indian Defence Council and most of the associated war production liaison groups. He served as Chairman of the Calcutta evacuees Committee, responsible for fielding, housing and feeding over 400,000 refugees from Burma during the first nine months of 1942. He was knighted in the February of that year.He retired in 1946 and was almost immediately recruited by the Foreign Office to serve General Clarke as a member of the Greek Economic Mission in Greece.

A director of several banks and firms in the city, he died of cancer on 13th April 1954, when the author was just seventeen.

This book is for men who aspire to the office and task of elder or pastor in a church. As you lead or prepare for leadership, this book will help you evaluate how you are doing and make you aware of the areas of your life that need further growth. One of the primary purposes of this book is to call us all into a lifestyle of repentance so that we may never find ourselves too exhausted to continue or, to be disqualified from doing the ministry that we love and are called to. This book is designed as a discipleship tool. To benefit the most, you need to take time to read each chapter and work through the questions and activities included at the end of each chapter. You may want to do this by yourself, or with another person or group of people so that you can grow together and keep each other accountable for progress.

Using the phrase, "You may, when...", instead of, "NO!", gives a child hope and detours power struggles. This humorously written story shows families how to stop the arguing when kids are told, "NO!". Permit yourself to pause and gain clarity before answering a question. Our first instinct may be to respond from pure emotion and that isn't usually the answer we want to give. An emotional shouting match often begins when children ask for something and hear, "NO!" Both people want control of the outcome. When adults give a clear understanding of how to gain permission, the child can make their own choice. Being reminded of our choices feels better than being given no hope for the future. This story is for families that want to stop the power struggle when, "NO!" is used. Parents can say no, without actually using that word.

He says he's too old for me and could never be the man I deserve.He's wrong.Dex and I might be twelve years apart, but the fire between us is the kind that will never burn out.How can I convince him to give happily-ever-after with me a chance?
