As humans, we will fall, we will cry, but when we have Allah, we shine and rise up after every fall with a greater degree of Imaan and in awe of the magnificence of our Creator. This book explains how to build your connection with the Almighty so that no matter what trials befall you, you are able to handle it with confidence and total trust in the divine plan of the Almighty. About the Author: Fawzia Kamdar was widowed at age 27. She raised four children on her own, the eldest Ismail Kamdar, is a popular author and Islamic speaker. Fawzia faced many trials throughout her life, including cancer, widowhood, raising four children on her own, and starting and running her own Islamic School. In this book, she shares her thoughts on dealing with and overcoming the tests of life.

A book for patients written in simplified language without the use of complicated terms. The author has worked as primary care physician in multiple centers, clinics and primary care facilities. During his work and interaction with patients'' he noticed the lack of simple written references for patient education about their conditions. The topics tackled in this book are common symptoms (diarrhea, constipation, painful urination, gases, sleeplessness, etc) and common chronic conditions (like diabetes and hypertension) in addition to some biochemical abnormalities (eg high lipids).

Ashʿarīs, by contrast, insisted on the indispensability of Revelation on the basis of a combination of epistemological skepticism with a metaphysic that prioritized skeptical theism.

The title of this thesis is "The phonetics and phonology of an Aden dialect of Arabic." Three terms are necessary to be clarified here; these are Aden, dialect and Arabic. 1. "Aden colony and protectorates cover some 112000 square miles and stretch along the southern coast of Arabia from the Shaikh said peninsula opposite Perim Island eastwards for some 700 miles to the frontier of Oman. On the north west they are bounded by Yemen. Further to the east the frontier merges with the desert. Its depth from Hadramaut, or southern coast, varies from 50 miles in the west to 200 miles in the east." 2. "The Port of Aden is formed by two volcanic peninsulas - Aden (jabal Shamsan) and Little Aden (Jabal Insan) - which are connected with the mainland to the north by short necks of sand. The area of the Crown Colony is small, only 75 square miles, exclusive of its two dependencies - Perim Island (7 square miles), and Kuria Muria Islands (30 square miles). The population of the colony at the census in 1946 was 80,516 of whom 51000 were males. It includes Arabs (58,500), Somalis, Indians and Jews."1 The dialect studied here is of the ''Port of Aden'' or more accurately of the part of this port known as "The Crater". "The term ''dialect'' has a connotation in technical linguistic usage which is somewhat different from its ordinary meaning. To the linguist there is no real difference between a ''dialect'' and a ''language'' which can be shown to be related, however, remotely, to another language. By reference the term is restricted to a form of speech to be unintelligible to the speakers of the latter."2 The term ''Arabic'' in the title includes a number of contemporary spoken dialects in the region between the Atlantic Coast of North Africa and the Western Persian frontier and from Syria to the Southern Sudan. Such term does not exclude Classical Arabic, which varies in pronunciation from one country in the region to the other, as the term ''Modern Arabic'' would. This latter term covers the spoken unwritten dialects of the Arabs of today. 1. The Middle East. A Political and Economic Survey. RIIA.1950 - p.104. 2. Sapir, Selected Writings of Edward Sapir, p.83. The polycommunal character of the Aden population will, later, be related to the dialect studied as far as the vocabulary is concerned. The Arabs, as can be seen from the above quotations, are the largest single community, but they are not all ''Aden born''. The term ''Aden born'' has, in the administrative context, a special implication as opposed to newcomers among the population. Those newcomers are chiefly from the neighbouring districts of the South such as the Protectorates and Yemen. As the town started in its history as a fishing village, the fishermen of the town claim to be the oldest group in settlement. This claim seems to win acceptance by all others. The fishermen are few in numbers. Second to these in antiquity of residence are some old families who planted themselves in the port long before the colonization of South Arabia and who are influential within the Aden town. The family of my informant is one of these; therefore, not only he, but also his father at least are ''Aden born''. These families, beside the fishermen, are the speakers of the Aden dialect. An educated member of an Aden family, such as my informant is, can be described as ''bidialectal'' in different social settings. Within the circle of the family, as well as when talking to any fellow Adenese, he speaks Aden Dialect, but when talking to an educated Arab from outside the town, he speaks a modified ''Aden Dialect'': a mixture of C.A. and A.D. words phonologically conforming to the characteristics of Aden Dialect. The contrast has then to be made between Aden Dialect and ''Aden Dialect'', as this has to be made for every dialect of Modern Arabic as far as educated speakers are concerned. Care, however, has had to be taken to separate these two and to exclude ''Aden Dialect'' of the educated speakers as far as possible from the data of this work, and to study an Aden dialect spoken by my informant as in his family circle.

Better machine understanding of pedestrian behaviors enables faster progress in modeling interactions between agents such as autonomous vehicles and humans. Pedestrian trajectories are not only influenced by the pedestrian itself but also by interaction with surrounding objects. Previous methods modeled these interactions by using a variety of aggregation methods that integrate different learned pedestrians states. We propose the Social Spatio-Temporal Graph Convolutional Neural Network (Social-STGCNN), which substitutes the need of aggregation methods by modeling the interactions as a graph. Our results show an improvement over the state of art by 20% on the Final Displacement Error (FDE) and an improvement on the Average Displacement Error (ADE) with 8.5 times less parameters and up to 48 times faster inference speed than previously reported methods. In addition, our model is data efficient, and exceeds previous state of the art on the ADE metric with only 20% of the training data. We propose a kernel function to embed the social interactions between pedestrians within the adjacency matrix. Through qualitative analysis, we show that our model inherited social behaviors that can be expected between pedestrians trajectories. Code will be released for the reproduction of the results

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is an increasingly common form of additive manufacturing in a growing number of engineering applications. FDM''s layer-wise method of depositing material can produce complex three-dimensional parts which could not be produced by other "subtractive" methods. ABS-M30 is an Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) resin which resists expansion, bending, impact and environmental effects for long periods. It has excellent heat / cold resistance and chemical resistance. ABS play a major role in the rise and growth of three-dimensional printing. ABS parts are readily available in the desired shape and effect. ABS-M30 is being increasingly used in elevated temperature and humidity conditions, and in applications which expose the material to salt-water environments. The behavior of ABS-M30 under these conditions has not been well established. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of exposure to cyclic temperature/salt-water environments, including freeze-thaw conditions, on the tensile and shear performance of FDM ABS-M30. Various FDM coupons fabricated with rasters in the 0°, 90°, 45° directions, respectively, were exposed to fixed cycles of elevated temperature and humidity; salt water immersion; and freeze-thaw cycles. The effects of these exposures on tensile strength, elongation, and strain-to-failure; and shear strength, displacement, and strain-to-failure, were assessed. In addition, a simulation by finite elements analysis on the effect of expansion and shrinkage of water (due to thermal expansion from -20° to 40° C) in the natural voids of FDM materials, was performed. Results were correlated to changes observed in the mechanical testing.
