Opis - Pierwsze na świecie świadectwo ofiary zbrodni honorowej. Miała siedemnaście lat i zakochała się: zhańbiła rodzinę. Więc rodzina wydała na nią wyrok śmierci... Pokochała go pierwszą miłością. Myślała, że się z nią ożeni. Ale ukochany zniknął, a ona odkryła, że jest w ciąży. A w jej świecie to najcięższa zbrodnia... W zapomnianej przez Boga wiosce w Cisjordanii kobiety są warte mniej niż zwierzęta domowe. Tu mężczyzna jest panem życia i śmierci żony, córki, siostry. Brat może bezkarnie zabić siostrę, matka - córkę, kolejną bezużyteczną dziewczynkę, jaka się urodzi. Tu kobiecie odbiera się godność, a nawet życie zgodnie z odwiecznym obyczajem i uświęconą tradycją. A śmierć jest karą dla dziewczyny, która zhańbi rodzinę. Tak jak Souad. Wyrok wydaje jej ojciec. Szwagier dokonuje egzekucji. Oblewa Souad benzyną i podpala... SOUAD przeżyła - cudem, ale rodzina usiłowała zabić ją nawet w szpitalu. Na zawsze jednak pozostanie straszliwie okaleczona - na ciele i duszy. I wciąż musi się ukrywać; dopóki żyje, jej rodzinę okrywa hańba. Spalona żywcem, opublikowana pod pseudonimem szokująca opowieść o piekle, jakim było jej dzieciństwo i młodość, stała się międzynarodowym bestsellerem. Wydana w 37 w krajach książka przerywa tabu milczenia wobec istniejącej nadal w krajach muzułmańskich barbarzyńskiej tradycji. Nieludzkiego obyczaju, prawa mężczyzn, na mocy którego co najmniej pięć tysięcy kobiet pada co roku ofiarą zbrodni honorowej. Nazwa - Spalona Żywcem Wyd.

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Biology - Zoology, grade: A, Atlantic International University (School of Science and Engineering), course: Master of Science (Applied Entomology), language: English, comment: Dear Butele: Excelent essay. "It's a big mistake also because, as I suggested earlier, educated people at the beginning of XXI century should be rationally founded confidence in the results of science, and rationally founded that confidence can only come from an adequate idea of scientific rationality, otherwise the trust is based only on the authority of science, and trust only authority is something that violates the rational and autonomous quality of the people". Olivé (2008, p. 77). Best regards, Dr ... Advisor. Atlantic International University. , abstract: Bees evolved in specific areas of the world long ago, before they spread to becomeglobally as they are today (Tables 1 and II), according to Kugonza (2009). As theyspread, they became adapted to the local ecological conditions of the different areas,changing in morphology and behaviour to fit within the requirements of the ecosystem,giving rise to a wide bee biodiversity of bee species and races we see today. Bees areclassified under Animal Kingdom, Phylum Arthropoda. They belong to Class Insecta,which is divided into 29 Orders. Bees belong to the order Hymenoptera, which has threeSuper families, namely: Apoidea (bees), Formicoidea (ants) and Vespoidea (wasps).There are around 30,000 named species of bees (Apoidea). Apoidea is further dividedinto several Families, namely Apidae (social bees), colletidae, Andrenidae, Halictidae,Melittidae, Megachilidae, and Anthophoridae. Most of the Families have solitaryindividuals: each female bee makes her own nest, lays a single egg and provides food forthe single larva that develops. However, a high level of social development is shown bythe species in Apidae where the individuals live together in a permanent, large colony,headed by a single egg-laying queen (BfD, 2003c). Apidae is composed of four genera:Apis (honeybees), Trigona and Melipona (stingless bees), and Bombus (bumble bees).According to MAAIF (2012a), the genus Apis is comprised of 5 main species of honeybees: Apis dorsata (the giant honey bee); Apis laboriosa (the darker giant honey bee);Apis florea (the little or dwarf honey bee); Apis cerana (formerly Apis indica), is theeastern hive honey bee; and Apis mellifera (western honey bee). These species haveevolved and differentiated into more species and races of honey bees. Kugonza (2009)described 9 species of honey bees in the world, which Oldroyd and Wongsiri (2006)grouped under 3 subgenera: Micrapis (Apis florea and A. andreniformis), Megapis (A.dorsata and A. laboriosa) and Apis (A. cerana, recently recognized as separate races ofA. nigrocinta, A. koschevnikovi and A. nuluensis, and A. mellifera). Dietz (1992), Hussein(2000) and Wikipedia (2012) described over 28 races of A. mellifera alone. Beekeepingstarted with honey bees (Apis species), a practice called Apiculture, although keeping ofstingless bees, belonging to the genera Trigona and Melipona, a practice calledMeliponiculture, has recently picked up [...]

You Deserve Better VANDENBURG CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

How can I work so that my clients receive daily attention that results in the best possible chance of securing their long-term needs and goals? How do I ensure I am the financial advisor people refer to as "accessible"? And how do I put the advise back in advising?These are just a few of the questions Todd VanDenburg posed to himself when he first started out over a decade ago in the financial services industry. Based on his own personal experience as an investor who, like many others, experienced some potentially unnecessary losses during the dot.com bubble, Todd decided not only to thoroughly study and learn the business of financial services, but to build his business by applying the same standards he would for his mother-were she sitting across the desk from him-for all of his clients.You Deserve Better provides an enlightening look at the type of relationship and level of service we all can and should expect from our financial advisor. The book shows that while becoming accustomed to feeling like a number may be acceptable in some facets of our modern-day lives, the one-size-fits-all policy does not fit when it comes to how we manage our money and plan our retirement. If ever there was a place and a time for individualized attention, it is in our financial advisor's office and it is now-particularly after having seen just how vulnerable our nest eggs can become due to situations completely out of our control.Some of the old adages regarding financial planning no longer hold true, and the experts and analysts will talk until their hair turns blue. You Deserve Better takes an energetic and emphatic look at just how valuable a financial advisor who is truly invested in your lifelong goals can be.

Little Owl Cambridge University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Our understanding of the basic biology of owls is poor compared to that of other bird species. The Little Owl, Athene noctua, has become one of the best models for biological and conservation research, due to its commonness and the fact that it occupies nest-boxes very easily. In this unique book the authors synthesise the substantial literature, and detail current information regarding the Little Owl. They discuss its wide-ranging ecology, genetics and subspecies and population status by country. In addition, they outline a strategy and monitoring program for its conservation. The book features an outstanding bibliography of literature on the Little Owl, listing publications dated from 1769 to 2007, in many languages, including Russian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Dutch. Whilst being an invaluable resource for academic researchers, its straightforward style holds undoubted appeal for amateurs and enthusiasts.
