Download or read book Syria Culture Smart written by Sarah Standish and published by Kuperard. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After years of diplomatic isolation Syria is emerging from the cold. Its government is a key Middle Eastern player, and will be a major element of any possible comprehensive Middle Eastern peace deal. To visit Syria is to become acquainted with one of the most rewarding destinations in the Middle East. Its historic attractions are stunning, and the Syrians are proud and gracious hosts; you can expect to be treated like a person and not just a tourist. Of course, there are always thorns with the roses: Syria's economy is inefficient, and its youth are frustrated; the strong-man political system that has held the country together does not encourage public intellectual life, but nor does it prevent young Syrians from debating with passion in private. The Syrian sense of tradition has preserved some of the bad along with the good, and society remains highly patriarchal. Despite such drawbacks, this is a country that's rich not only in resources, but also, and especially, in its people. American author Sarah Standish looks at Syria's long history and its present-day political realities. She describes the many subgroups that make up the population as well as what unites all Syrians. She offers practical tips for traveling and on what to expect when conducting business. You'll learn how people communicate with each other, and how you can communicate with them. The Syrians will never stop surprising you: get to know a few, and they will turn the stereotypes inside out several times over.

Download or read book Domestic Workers in Saudi Arabia and the Emirates written by Antoinette Vlieger and published by Quid Pro Books. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Page 1 opens with a jarring turn: "Filipina domestic worker, employed in Riyadh: 'Really they are good to me. If I say I need rest, they give me rest.' [And if they were not so good to you, if you would have some problem with your employer, where would you go?] 'Madam, I cannot go anywhere, I am not allowed to go outside. I cannot go to the embassy. I will just cry in my room and pray.'" This book explores the duality and conflicts faced by the desperate employee far from home, having signed a contract written in Arabic, her passport held by her employer, and with limited power as a woman to be a witness in court against a man. DOMESTIC WORKERS IN SAUDI ARABIA AND THE EMIRATES is a new socio-legal study of pressing questions of human rights, contractual freedom, transnational markets, and social policy: Which factors influence the emergence and character of conflicts in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates between domestic workers and their employers, the social and legal norms both parties refer to, and the related imbalance of power? In what way and to what extent do domestic workers and their employers refer to Islamic, customary, contractual, and formal legal norms? Do conflicts concern disagreement over norms or disputes regarding behavior contrary to the norms upon which both parties agree? Which factors influence the norms that both parties refer to in conflicts? Which party is able to enforce its own norms or to act contrary to norms on which both parties agree and which factors influences the balance of power? Using a grounded-theory methodology involving extensive field research and revealing interviews of workers, employers, employment agencies, human rights organizations, and governmental officials, Vlieger exposes the multifacets and dilemmas of the people and institutions involved. Finally, she proposes pragmatic solutions to prevent the most excessive vulnerabilities and imbalances. This is an upsetting and candid introduction to another world, supported with scholarly research but accessible to the general reader, as well as academics and human rights activists. Part of the Human Rights and Culture Series from Quid Pro Books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vitamins are absolutely essential for a healthy pregnancy: before, during, and after. Expectant parents want healthy babies and to more easily navigate pregnancy’s many ups and downs. Problem is, standard prenatal vitamins don’t come close to meeting the needs of all women. Nutritional (orthomolecular) physicians have known this for decades. Many women would benefit from an abundance of nutrients during pregnancy and the advantages are clear: healthy babies and happy moms. Helen Saul Case has lifelong experience with nutritional medicine, having been born and raised with it her entire life. Still, she found pregnancy challenging, with new aches, pains, and amazing symptoms “I couldn’t have dreamed up if I tried.” It became all too clear that how to best use high doses of vitamins to safely and effectively address health issues was conspicuously absent from the scores of pregnancy health books out there. It’s time for a change! Vitamins & Pregnancy: The Real Story is a comprehensive, yet easily readable nutritional guide to optimal health—for both you and your baby that tackles the topics other pregnancy books don’t, including: • ?The many ways nutrition helps to ensure your baby’s best development in utero—with lifelong benefits for mother and child • ?How vitamin C helps prevent birth defects, postpartum hemorrhages, and even stretch marks; vitamin E helps prevent miscarriage; magnesium helps cramping legs and sore, aching backs; and extra vitamin B6 alleviates morning sickness—without a prescription! • Optimal vitamin and mineral intakes during pregnancy and breastfeeding • What the research says about efficacy and safety • ?Nutrition-based advice to help alleviate more than 35 pregnancy issues, from acid reflux and yeast infections, to postpartum challenges—including depression and losing weight

Now throw in an FBI agent, a few corpses, and a surprising plot. The result is The Strain Ten Corollary, a gripping novel by James Frayne. Agent Kellie Crowkiller is lovely and tenacious, and she takes her work with the Special Drug Interdiction Force seriously. Her assignment: to hunt down and stop a group of Mexican drug runners. She finds them strewn across an arroyo, headless and without hands. Miles away is biotech millionaire Abel Townsend, a man convinced that the strain of parasites he has nearly perfected is not only capable of controlling specified human behavior, but of securing support to create a new Palestinian homeland. Can he guarantee a beleaguered population a safe home...and the United States more secure borders? In a creative, tension-packed story, we explore justice in a new light and reconsider what we once deemed impossible.
