...enough to let them in, he told them Sohrab was fantastic with his slingshot, from which he was inseparable. In the man's makeshift office, he explained that they had no heat or hot water and very little food or supplies. The Taliban refused to pay for renovations or improvements. The man did not seem to want to talk about Sohrab. When Amir insisted, he revealed that a Talib official had taken Sohrab a month earlier. This official came every few months and paid to take a child with him; the man had no choice but to consent, or he knew he and all his children would be shot. This news so enraged Farid that he tackled the man and tried to strangle him to death until Amir intervened. The man told Amir that he could find the Talib official at Ghazi stadium, where the national team played soccer. Chapter Twenty-One After Amir visited the...

...secondary splenomegaly as a result of primary Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Because of its proximity to the diaphragm, splenomegaly results in pain or fullness in the left upper abdomen (subsequent tenderness and loss of appetite) that may spread to the left shoulder (non-specific arthralgia). Splenomegaly may result in anemia (bruising, bleeding gums, decrease in pallor) fatigue and frequent infections (4 year old John’s WBC 250, 000 count and fever 102°F). However, in John’s case, some of the symptoms related to splenomegaly can also overlap with those of his diagnosis of ALL such as fever and abdominal distention. Additionally, anorexia, headache, seizures, lethargy, arthralgia, infection, and bruising are also potential side effects (Ghazi et al., 2010). Pathophysiology of acute lymphoblastic leukemia-AML comparison According to Gedaly et al., 2006, acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most “common form of childhood cancer and accounts for 1/3 of cancer diagnoses in children younger than 15 and 28% of cancer diagnoses in those younger than 20, page 641.” The pathogenesis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a form of leukemia in which there is a neoplasm of the immature white blood cells (lymphoblast) produced by the bone...

...The Modern World Professor Gwen Alexis Islamic Empires Timeline The Ottoman Empire: 1289: “Osman” Osman Bey, founder of the dynasty that continued in unbroken succession from 1289 until the dissolution of the empire in 1923. Osman was chief of a band of seminomadic Turks who migrated to northwestern Anatolia in the thirteenth century. Osman and his followers sought above all to become ghazi, Muslim religious warriors who fought on behalf of the faith. 1326: “Ottoman Expansion” The Ottomans’ location on the borders of the Byzantine Empire afforded them ample opportunity to wage holy war. Their first great success came in 1326 with the capture of the Anatolian city of Bursa, which became the capital of the Ottoman principality. 1352: They established a foothold in Europe when they seized the fortress of Gallipoli. The city of Edirne (Adrianople) became a second Ottoman capital and served as a base for further expansion into the Balkans. As warriors settled in frontier districts and pushed their boundaries forward, they took spoils and gathered revenues that enriched both the ghazi and the central government. Mehmed The Conqueror 1453: The capture of Constantinople in 1453 by Mehmed II (reigned 1451–1481)—known as Mehmed the Conqueror—opened a new chapter in Ottoman expansion. With its superb location and illustrious heritage, Constantinople became the new Ottoman capital, subsequently known as Istanbul. SÜLEYMAN THE MAGNIFICENT: The Ottomans continued their expansion...

The Ottomans after the came into existence started to continuous expand, during which they spread from the small northwestern to cover most of Anatolia and southeastern Europe The Seljuk Turks controlled the Anatolia and the Middle East at the time, a more vast area than what the Ottomans controlled. However, an army led by Osman I went ahead and expanded into the vast majority of Anatolia, In 1299, Osman announced himself sultan, becoming the first ruler of the Ottoman Empire The defeat of the Seljuqs in 1293 by the Mongols, Osman became the first ruler of the Ottomans where he went to war and and expanded by taking over Byzantine Bithynia in Anatolia, commanding islam warriors referred to as ghazis which fought against the Byzantines. The Ottomans was a rising, Islamic power; The Byzantine a Christian kingdom on the decline. Conflict between the rising Ottomans and the Byzantine realm was inevitable. Osman and his successors continue to attack the Byzantine. The two would clash for a century and a half in what might wind up noticeably known as the Byzantine-Ottoman wars, a period that we saw the decay of the Byzantine Empire The Ottomans were major rivals of the Byzantium, they attracted nomads and wanderers that roamed the middle east seeking a place to fulfill their desire such as religious desire to expand the territory of islam or a life.

...1941: IRAQ AND THE ILLUMINATI The growing guerrilla war in Iraq has shown Saddam Hussein's Baath Party to be far more resilient than anyone realized. To understand their resilience and grass-roots strength, one must look at the party's mystical origins. Columnist Maureen Dowd says the Arabic word Baath stands for resurrection. But Baath is not a word that translates well into English. A better synonym would be the Italian word Risorgimento. Actually, the party had its origin in the little town of Asadabad in western Iran. Here, in 1839, was born Sayyid Jamal ad-Din, a Muslim mystic sometimes known as al-Afghani (Arabic for the Afghan--J.T.) and "the Sage of the East." Jamal ad-Din was raised as a Shiite Muslim and, in 1845, his family enrolled him in a madrassa (Islamic school) in the holy city of Najaf in what is now Iraq. Here Jamal was initiated into "the mysteries" by "followers of Sheik Ahmad Asai (1753-1826). He also may have had some family connections with the Babis, followers of Siyyid Ali Mohammed al-Bab," an imam keenly interested in politics. "After years studying Shia theology at the holy city of Najaf, Iraq, he spent several years in India, the Caucasus and Central Asia before surfacing in Afghanistan as the senior advisor to the pro-Russian ruler." (Editor's Comment: Strange that a supposedly devout Muslim would head for India instead of making the traditional haj or pilgrimage to Mecca. It appears that Jamal ad-Din was one of the few Illuminati to...

Scalability is of particular interest to ad hoc network designers and users and is an issue with critical influence on capability and capacity. Where topologies include large numbers of nodes, routing packets will demand a large percentage of the limited wireless bandwidth and this is exaggerated and exacerbated by the mobility feature often resulting in a high frequency of failure regarding wireless links. In this paper we present acomprehensive survey and classification of recently published clustering algorithm, which we classify based on their objectives. We survey different clustering algoirthm for MANET's; highlighting the defining clustering, the design goals of clustering algorithms, advantages of clustering...

...countries. Effects of wars produce a lot of troubles, such as death of innocent people, destruction of cities and pollution. One major effect of war is the killing of innocent people. It is a bad feeling you see death of innocents on the streets. We all saw what happened in Iraq. There were a lot of victims of this war. In 1965 in Vietnam many innocent people were killed. There is also local war, for example, in Syria between the government and the innocent people. Innocent people die as a result of war. Another effect of war is the destruction of cities. Destructions of cities are the problems that take a long time to fix. Baghdad was a city of Arab civilization but after the war it is not. In Libya Algadafi and his army destroyed Bin Ghazi by bombing. Berlin was destroyed after World War II. Pollution is another effect of war. It is still remain after wars. In 1990 the Gulf War produced a lot of pollution and waste in the Arab Gulf Sea. Pollution after Hiroshima bomb is the reason for many diseases like cancer. Another example of pollution is the Agent Orange herbicide that US army used on Vietnam War and it polluted the rivers and soils and made them not appropriate resources anymore. In conclusion we cannot count all the effects of wars because there are a lot of effects. Three major and horrible effects of war are the death of innocent people, destruction of cities and pollution. War hurts the people. I think that all of the people around the world want to live without...

Compared to my observation a child of seven-year-old have reached the concrete operational stage at the ages between (7-11) which the ability to develop the basic information for math are complete. Even when “Adult often thinks of mathematics as an abstract discipline involving complex algebraic formulas and geometric calculations. Yet, the foundations of math are grounded in concrete experience. The cognitive concepts such as classification, seriation, numbers, time, and spatial concepts are all an integral part of the development of mathematical knowledge.” (Ghazi, Safda 2016) Despite NSW Department of Education and Community does not believe math is not a prerequisite in order for a child to learned measurement, conservation it is important for children to learn about number, classification, time etc. For instance; the 7 years old child that I observed might not know that he is using numbers to noticed the change of the physical appearance of the pennies.

...The Involvement of Fritz Grobba in Iraq during the Interwar Years Sören Meier-Klodt 201103442 22.12.2014 Word Count: 4876 The Involvement of Fritz Grobba in Iraq during the Interwar Years The personage of Fritz Grobba in the mechanisms of Iraq nationalist aspirations and fascist movements is controversial to say the least. The British, tainted with years of influence and covert action themselves, to this day, claim that the doings of Mr. Grobba had a fundamental part in uprooting the peace in Iraq during the war years and that he played an important role in destabilizing the Iraq government and leading anti British sentiment during the inter-war years during his stationing in Baghdad. Grobba himself who in his work, Männer und Mächte im Orient, claims that he did not commit any such actions contested this. He goes onto to argue that it was in-fact the British that were the main conspirators of any covert political actions that led to both the destabilization of Iraq which indirectly also led to the rise of National sentiments that had at their heart an anti British Agenda. To this day this question remains of Importance, as the question of German involvement and the seeding of propaganda for the Hitler Reich and for Nationalism would have had an implicit role in creating the Farhud massacre of 1941 of the Jewish population in Iraq. If there exists such a correlation the descendants of the Jewish victims would have the right to compensation and would officially...

...This was a period of time that people tried to figure out what might affect the productivity and efficiency, like from motivation. It produced a variety of theories researching people’s psychological desires; around what do they need in different levels, such as Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. However, this time we try to focus on two-factor theory. Employees in an organization are either satisfied or dissatisfied with their job based on whether they are motivated or not on their job. However, the kind of motivation employees get determines their output level. Thus, a high level of satisfaction could lead to high output whilst high level of dissatisfaction with the job could lead to low output. However, the opposite of job satisfaction is not dissatisfaction, but rather a simple lack of satisfaction. In the same way, the opposite of job dissatisfaction is not satisfaction, but rather “no dissatisfaction” (Herzberg, Mausner, & Snyderman, The Motivation to Work, 1959). Now, it would interest managers to know the level of employee’s satisfaction and the factor(s) causing such satisfaction/ dissatisfaction. (Herzberg, Mausner, & Snyderman, The Motivation to Work, 1959) proposed that in understanding the relevant attitude of employees, it is possible to best understand such an employee’s motivation to work. That is, if searched by managers, they should get reasonable information on motivation of workers based on the internal concept of attitude which originates from a state...

Under the brutal control of the Russians, the people of Afghanistan thought the arrival of the American-funded Taliban, under the guise of democracy, was their chance to go back to the peaceful days where there was no fear that one might suddenly disappear and never return (211). Little did the citizens know that a totalitarian dictatorship initiated the darkest day when “They won’t let you be human” (209). In all the inhumane executions the Taliban committed, the most well-known were the ones completed in the Ghazi Stadium. The stadium is located in Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan, and was built in 1923 as a multi-functional stadium. After Taliban invasion, the officials shot down the stadium and turned it into an execution ground. In a news article published by The Epoch Times, the black-turbaned Taliban (black is the colour of war or surrendering ego in Islam; Taliban claimed themselves as Mujahideen, soldiers of God) would ask the convicts to kneel before the goalposts; then, the so-called felons who had disobey God’s word (283) would be stoned or shot dead. While spectators shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest) (Afghan). Amir witnesses the whole incidence personally when he went back for Sohrab who is the son of Hassan (282). This event...
