Thread of Lies, a harrowing and powerful composition of interrelated stories is built around the homophobic murder of a lesbian couple. Their deaths serve as the background and the catalyst for the narrative, written with a grim ferocity in a minimalistic yet graphic style. The unremitting depiction of violence, its violent consequences, and rampant homophobia are brought into sharp relief through the frightening presence of the character, Tito Ogheneovo. His madness fuelled by unswerving, brim-full fury, intertwine lives in Nigeria and New Zealand. He becomes the centre of attention in the subsequent search for the truth behind the murder. Thread of Lies, a significant part of the writer's 2013 Master's thesis, has been praised by lecturers at the Auckland University of Technology for having both the features of a novel and a collection of discrete stories because of the centrality of the character Tito and his growing violence. The events in the collection, dealing with causes and consequences, are in hectic orbit around the central, centrifugal act of violence in a manner best achieved by the composite novel approach.

Just Like You You're my hope. You're my hero.You know all I am and what I can be.Take this hard heart and make it like yours.>You're my heart. You're my hero.Let my life reflect your love.Give me eyes to see past walls.Give me ears to hear heart cries.Give me hands that heal in your name.>You're my Father. You're my hero.May my spirit walk with you.Train my mind to see the lost ones.Tune my ears to hear your voice.May my soul shine with your light.>You're my light. You're my hero.You know all I am and what I will be.Take this one soul and make it like yours.Dear Dad, I want to be just like you.***This is the second inspirational Christian poetry collection. It's preceded by Thin Black Road and followed by My Champion. The combination book, Made to Praise, contains all three collections.

This is How Islamic Banking Really WorksVolume 2 of the "Islamic Banking in Practice" series covers the broad and subtle subject of Sukuk.In a sector where publications focus on theory and are rarely written by experienced practitioners, the "Islamic Banking in Practice" series concentrates firmly on market practice.Sukuks (sometimes referred to as Islamic versions of bonds) are one of the most visible products in Islamic banking, and their global reach has ensured a rapid growth in issuance. This volume will explain how Sukuks work and why they were created.The reader will be guided in how to structure a Sukuk product from first principles of Islamic commercial law. We will discover how a simple purchase of an asset can evolve into a complex structure to issue a $1bn Sukuk.Most of the different major types of Sukuk in issuance will also be described in detail, such as: Ijara SukukMudarabah SukukWakala SukukMusharakah SukukHybrid SukukPerpetual SukukProject Finance / Istisna SukukMurabaha SukukEquity-linked or convertible or exchangeable SukukThis will be reinforced through the presentation and detailed analysis of market transactions by examination of prospectuses that are publicly available.At all stages, the focus will be on the aspects of Sukuk that relate to compliance with the rules of Islamic banking. Areas covered include: the issuance processasset injectionpricing and relation to underlying asset pricehow asset price risk is managed and mitigatedShariah compliance, and how the risk of non-compliance is managedOther relevant areas such as credit rating, defaults and the impact of introducing assets (including the controversial topic of a "true sale") will be covered. The key development in the markets as a consequence of AAOIFI rule changes are analysed.We will see a picture emerge of instruments, and markets, that behave in a manner far removed from the existential nature of the classic contracts that underpin the transactions.REVIEW OF VOLUME 1"This is a book written by a practitioner in Islamic Finance, Safdar Alam, about what many would consider to be quite a dry topic, that of Islamic Banking. In fact, that is quite simply not the case.This is a book as the author describes it as "A download of what I have done and what I know."From its very outset, this first volume, which tackles money market, FX and other market contracts, gives the view of a pioneer in the industry who was challenged with a blank sheet of paper and asked to create something from the ground up, without any guidance, without a frame of reference and the minimum of support infrastructure.The story that unfolds is very readable.The book captures the imagination vividly of what it was really like in this industry less than 20 years ago, when the pioneering spirit of a few created the global industry that we now see today.This is about as real as it gets because there is a very big difference between creating something yourself and replicating something that has already been created. The author, in both a logical and engaging fashion takes us through this journey and shares his insights "warts and all" of what it took to do the needful.I would consider this book as essential reading for practitioners, students, academics and anyone who shares an interest in finding out how something new is created from the ground up. I, for one, eagerly await the sequel in Volume 2 on Sukuk."By Daud Vicary Abdullah Managing Director of DVA Consulting and former President and CEO of INCEIF The Global University of Islamic Finance

The notion of proving spirituality with science is becoming prominent. Ideas like the God Particle and quantum physics are becoming more popular and are, perhaps, instrumental in bridging the worlds of science and spirituality.As a scientist, Albert Einstein was interested in learning more about our physical existence and, beyond that, the physical existence and workings of the universe from which we came. But as a human, perhaps he wanted to grow and expand his heart as well as his mind. What if Albert Einstein was more spiritual than he or anyone else cared to consider, speculate, or admit? What if, without any intentional purpose, but with an intuitive curiosity, he wanted to know more about his spiritual existence? This book takes a unique and fresh look at the awakening of the spirit from the perspective of none other than Albert Einstein, a scientist. His name is perhaps the most famous in science, among those such as Newton, Galileo, and Tesla. But can we also include his name among the great spiritual teachers such as Lao Tsu, Rumi, Buddha, and the Sanskrit texts known as the Upanishads? By looking at some of his quotes and comparing them with ancient teachings, we can gain a fresh, new perspective of ancient knowledge delivered to us from the mind of a genius.Here you will find nine awakening spiritual principles that are based on this author's interpretations of the notions of Albert Einstein, a man who simply questioned life and the universe. These quotes will be used to explain ancient teachings and will be a springboard to daily exercises and practices leading to a spiritually awakened and joyful you!INCLUDED WITH THIS BOOK: Access codes for guided meditations online.
