| doubletree by hilton dubai - business bay: Searching For My Identity (Volume 2) Edward Winterhalder, 2022-03-10 Volume 2 of Searching For My Identity is a chronological autobiography of an outlaw biker that covers his life from prominent leader of a notorious international motorcycle club in January 2001 to his redemption in December 2020. Intended for the general public and those in the academic community that find the outlaw biker aspects of anthropology, criminology, sociology, psychology, ethnography, deviant behavior, criminal justice, pop culture and humanities interesting, this is an extremely unique opportunity to learn about the lifestyle. Due to the growing recognition of motorcycle clubs and outlaw bikers in pop culture, interest in the topic has recently exploded worldwide creating an insatiable demand for information on the secretive subculture that most people find intriguing, but most people are oblivious to the truth—the majority of the world’s motorcycle club members are legitimate hardworking men that rarely cause anyone problems. Contrary to the meth-addicted violence prone image regularly portrayed by the media, most of today’s outlaw bikers are productive contributing members of society that love motorcycles and the lifestyle, and the only thing they’re guilty of is having too much fun on the weekends. Wondering if the primary cause of his psychologically skewed mind was the result of inherited behavior or learned behavior, Winterhalder recalls his life as a founding member of the Oklahoma Bandidos; the assimilation of the Rock Machine in Canada; the Quebec Biker War; his unsuccessful deportation; and the murders, assassinations, betrayal and drug use that contributed to his disillusionment and eventual departure from the Bandidos nation. Although the book includes some of the storyline found in Out In Bad Standings and The Assimilation, the narrative incorporated from those titles has been updated, revised and rewritten in a more professional manner, and features an additional fifty-thousand words about the author’s life never published. Before reading Searching For My Identity (Volume 2): The Chronological Evolution Of An Outlaw Biker On The Road To Redemption, the publisher recommends a comprehensive review of Searching For My Identity (Volume 1): The Chronological Evolution Of A Troubled Adolescent To Outlaw Biker. |

Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices.

The Everything Store is the revealing, definitive biography of the company that placed one of the first and largest bets on the Internet and forever changed the way we shop and read. |

| doubletree by hilton dubai - business bay: Buscando Mi Identidad Edward Winterhalder, 2023-03-28 El volumen 2 de Buscando Mi Identidad es una autobiografía cronológica de un motociclista fuera de la ley que cubre su vida desde el destacado líder de un notorio club de motociclistas internacional en Enero de 2001 hasta su redención en Diciembre de 2020. Está destinado al público en general y a la comunidad académica que encuentre interesantes los aspectos de los motociclistas forajidos de la antropología, la criminología, la sociología, la psicología, la etnografía, el comportamiento desviado, la justicia penal, la cultura pop y las humanidades, esta es una oportunidad extremadamente única para aprender sobre el estilo de vida. Debido al creciente reconocimiento de los clubes de motociclistas y motociclistas fuera de la ley en la cultura pop, el interés en el tema se ha disparado recientemente en todo el mundo creando una demanda insaciable de información sobre la subcultura secreta que la mayoría de la gente encuentra intrigante, pero la mayoría de la gente ignora la verdad: la mayoría de los miembros de clubes de motociclistas del mundo son hombres legítimos y trabajadores que rara vez causan problemas a nadie. Contrariamente a la imagen propensa a la violencia de adictos a la metanfetamina que presentan regularmente los medios de comunicación, la mayoría de los motociclistas forajidos de hoy en día son miembros productivos y contribuyentes de la sociedad que aman las motocicletas y el estilo de vida, y lo único de lo que son culpables es de divertirse demasiado los fines de semana. Preguntándose si la causa principal de su mente psicológicamente distorsionada fue el resultado de un comportamiento heredado o aprendido, Winterhalder recuerda su vida como miembro fundador de Oklahoma Bandidos; la asimilación de la Rock Machine en Canadá; la guerra de motociclistas de Quebec; su deportación fallida; y los asesinatos, asesinatos, traiciones y uso de drogas que contribuyeron a su desilusión y eventual salida de la organización. Aunque el libro incluye parte de la historia que se encuentra en Out In Bad Standings, la narrativa incorporada de esos títulos se actualizó, revisó y reescribió de una manera más profesional, y presenta cincuenta mil palabras adicionales sobre la vida del autor publicado. Antes de leer Buscando Mi Identidad (Volumen 2): La Evolución Cronológica De Un Motociclista Fuera De La Ley En El Camino Hacia La Redención, el editor recomienda una revisión exhaustiva de Buscando Mi Identidad (Volumen 1): La Evolución Cronológica De Un Adolescente Con Problemas A Un Motociclista Fuera De La Ley. |

| doubletree by hilton dubai - business bay: Islamic Fintech Sara Sánchez Fernández, 2021-03-29 The implementation of new technologies is expected to boost the development of Islamic Finance by increasing accessibility to banking and other financial services in Islamic communities and democratizing access to investment opportunities. At the same time, new technologies will increase financing opportunities and facilitate asset management for Sharia-compliant businesses. This collection of essays from selected experts in the field comprise some of the most topical issues on Islamic Fintech, combining a business focus with legal insights. The book takes as a point of departure the role that Islamic Fintech can play in promoting sustainability. The social vision of welfare improvement and justice is already embedded in Sharia’s economic rules, which makes Islamic Finance particularly well suited to bridge the gap between sustainability and funding. Although it is not without challenges for the industry, technology will help unleash its potential. With a holistic approach to Islamic Fintech, the contributing authors address the application of new technologies to Islamic Finance, including robo-advisory, crowdfunding and digital ledger technology (both in the issuance of bitcoin and the registration of securities in tokenized form) and in certain sectors such as takaful (takaful-tech) and health (e-health). Finally, they explore the challenges posed by anti-money laundering (‘AML’) in the specific realm of Islamic Fintech. The book combines theoretical analysis with a practical focus, both through case studies and directly through the experiences of leading entrepreneurs. In addition, it provides insights on legal and regulatory aspects, which are key in a field that is still in its infancy and needs support from lawmakers and regulators. It is, thus, a reference for academics, legal practitioners, policymakers, entrepreneurs and the Islamic Finance community. |

| doubletree by hilton dubai - business bay: The Hiltons J. Randy Taraborrelli, 2014-04-01 The Hiltons is a sweeping saga of the success-and excess-of an iconic American family. Demanding and enigmatic, patriarch Conrad Hilton's visionary ideas and unyielding will established the model for the modern luxury hotel industry. But outside the boardroom, Conrad struggled with emotional detachment, failed marriages, and conflicted Catholicism. Then there were his children: Playboy Nicky Hilton's tragic alcoholism and marriage to Elizabeth Taylor was the stuff of tabloid legend. Barron Hilton, on the other hand, deftly handled his father's legacy, carrying the Hilton brand triumphantly into the new millennium. Eric, raised apart from his older brothers, accepted his supporting role in the Hilton dynasty with calm and quiet-a stark contrast to the boys' much younger half-sister Francesca, whose battle for recognition led her into courtrooms and conflict. The cast of supporting players includes the inimitable Zsa Zsa Gabor, who was married to Conrad briefly and remained a thorn in his side for decades, and a host of other Hollywood and business luminaries with whom the Hiltons crossed paths and swords over the years. |

Porter, 2007-05-28 ...there is a global network of academics, researchers and methodologists who will buy this book or want it in their institute libraries.” Prof. John Harbraken As the field of human computer interaction grows, this book is likely to be a basic resource.” Prof. Chuck Eastman Design representation is necessary for all design activity. You will gain a guide to both theory and practical application in this discussion of representation as it occurs during the process of design. Goldschmidt and Porter give you perspectives on representational issues in design that are both informative and evocative of further inquiry. The unique interdisciplinary approach brings a new dimension to the study of representation, benefiting the global network of researchers, students and practitioners in all areas of design. Rather than addressing the larger framework directly, a series of smaller case studies are presented, each dealing with aspects of representation in architecture and engineering. Binding together historical-cultural, cognitive-social and technological perspectives eliminates the need for further reading. Innovative research methods based on numerous well-illustrated examples will leave you with new ideas to build on. International contributors focus on worldwide research activities, offering you more than just an expansion of a single viewpoint. Design Representation delves into the common roots of representation in all design disciplines through case studies, historical investigations, theoretical constructs and programming. If you are involved in any design activity, this will be a truly exciting addition to your bookshelf. |

Moreover, he challenges us to acknowledge our spiritual night blindness and embrace the sacredness of night. This edition was revised in 2009. |

| doubletree by hilton dubai - business bay: Tobakkonacht -- The Antismoking Endgame Michael J. McFadden, 2013-10-01 TobakkoNacht -- The Antismoking Endgame, is a frontal attack on the misuse of science and language to promote unjustified levels of smoking bans and taxes. The author, trained in statistics and propaganda analysis at Pennsylvania's Wharton School, dissects the scary antismoking studies that have made headlines over the past ten years. He shows clearly in each case how the data and language have been juggled to reach and promote the conclusions of those handing out the grant money and backs up his arguments with solid science clearly explained at a level that will satisfy both laymen and professionals. The book isn't all business though. It opens with a dystopian future tale of an Endgame in which the antismoking movement has gained full power and smokers are generally treated as near-criminals. The author explores the roots that could bring such a fiction into being and looks at the world that could be created... a very sad world indeed. The pseudo science used to push goals like outdoor smoking bans is also attacked with satire and with short essays taking the form of Letters To The Editor focusing on all the microarguments used by antismoking crusaders playing with their scientifical instruments and by fanatic who'd happily apply the same methodology to reducing automobile and alcohol use. A few more formal communications showing how to approach local and national governmental bodies are also offered, again with the benefit of exposing false arguments while showing how to effectively attack the authoritative sources that seek to silence the opposition with their prestige while pushing for ever wider bans and ever higher taxes. The book concludes with a strong section painting a path toward a winning endgame for those in the Free Choice movement, pointing to the weaknesses of the current crop of smoking prohibitionists and suggesting how they can best be countered. TobakkoNacht can best be summed up like this: It shows how the denormalization of smokers has warped science and ripped holes in our social fabric while transforming a worthy public health effort into a destructive social force assaulting our lives, our families, and our communities -- and it shows how to fight back! |

| doubletree by hilton dubai business bay: Searching For My Identity (Volume 2) Edward Winterhalder, 2022-03-10 Volume 2 of Searching For My Identity is a chronological autobiography of an outlaw biker that covers his life from prominent leader of a notorious international motorcycle club in January 2001 to his redemption in December 2020. Intended for the general public and those in the academic community that find the outlaw biker aspects of anthropology, criminology, sociology, psychology, ethnography, deviant behavior, criminal justice, pop culture and humanities interesting, this is an extremely unique opportunity to learn about the lifestyle. Due to the growing recognition of motorcycle clubs and outlaw bikers in pop culture, interest in the topic has recently exploded worldwide creating an insatiable demand for information on the secretive subculture that most people find intriguing, but most people are oblivious to the truth—the majority of the world’s motorcycle club members are legitimate hardworking men that rarely cause anyone problems. Contrary to the meth-addicted violence prone image regularly portrayed by the media, most of today’s outlaw bikers are productive contributing members of society that love motorcycles and the lifestyle, and the only thing they’re guilty of is having too much fun on the weekends. Wondering if the primary cause of his psychologically skewed mind was the result of inherited behavior or learned behavior, Winterhalder recalls his life as a founding member of the Oklahoma Bandidos; the assimilation of the Rock Machine in Canada; the Quebec Biker War; his unsuccessful deportation; and the murders, assassinations, betrayal and drug use that contributed to his disillusionment and eventual departure from the Bandidos nation. Although the book includes some of the storyline found in Out In Bad Standings and The Assimilation, the narrative incorporated from those titles has been updated, revised and rewritten in a more professional manner, and features an additional fifty-thousand words about the author’s life never published. Before reading Searching For My Identity (Volume 2): The Chronological Evolution Of An Outlaw Biker On The Road To Redemption, the publisher recommends a comprehensive review of Searching For My Identity (Volume 1): The Chronological Evolution Of A Troubled Adolescent To Outlaw Biker. |

But at the age of twenty, Nastasia embarked on a solo trip to South Africa to volunteer at an orphanage in Cape Town, which sparked a love of world travel. Recognizing a void in the travel industry, she founded Dame Traveler, the first female travel community on Instagram, now more than half a million strong. Nastasia herself has traveled to sixty-three countries on solo adventures, sharing colorful photos of her tantalizing travels along the way. Dame Traveler celebrates these women with a photographic collection of 200 stunning images paired with inspiring captions, 80% of which have never been seen on the Instagram account. Organized into sections on architecture, culture, nature, and water, each entry features travel information, plus tips, advice, unique solo-travel experiences, and wisdom from contributing globe-trotters to embolden the next generation of Dame Travelers. |
| doubletree by hilton dubai business bay: Buscando Mi Identidad Edward Winterhalder, 2023-03-28 El volumen 2 de Buscando Mi Identidad es una autobiografía cronológica de un motociclista fuera de la ley que cubre su vida desde el destacado líder de un notorio club de motociclistas internacional en Enero de 2001 hasta su redención en Diciembre de 2020. Está destinado al público en general y a la comunidad académica que encuentre interesantes los aspectos de los motociclistas forajidos de la antropología, la criminología, la sociología, la psicología, la etnografía, el comportamiento desviado, la justicia penal, la cultura pop y las humanidades, esta es una oportunidad extremadamente única para aprender sobre el estilo de vida. Debido al creciente reconocimiento de los clubes de motociclistas y motociclistas fuera de la ley en la cultura pop, el interés en el tema se ha disparado recientemente en todo el mundo creando una demanda insaciable de información sobre la subcultura secreta que la mayoría de la gente encuentra intrigante, pero la mayoría de la gente ignora la verdad: la mayoría de los miembros de clubes de motociclistas del mundo son hombres legítimos y trabajadores que rara vez causan problemas a nadie. Contrariamente a la imagen propensa a la violencia de adictos a la metanfetamina que presentan regularmente los medios de comunicación, la mayoría de los motociclistas forajidos de hoy en día son miembros productivos y contribuyentes de la sociedad que aman las motocicletas y el estilo de vida, y lo único de lo que son culpables es de divertirse demasiado los fines de semana. Preguntándose si la causa principal de su mente psicológicamente distorsionada fue el resultado de un comportamiento heredado o aprendido, Winterhalder recuerda su vida como miembro fundador de Oklahoma Bandidos; la asimilación de la Rock Machine en Canadá; la guerra de motociclistas de Quebec; su deportación fallida; y los asesinatos, asesinatos, traiciones y uso de drogas que contribuyeron a su desilusión y eventual salida de la organización. Aunque el libro incluye parte de la historia que se encuentra en Out In Bad Standings, la narrativa incorporada de esos títulos se actualizó, revisó y reescribió de una manera más profesional, y presenta cincuenta mil palabras adicionales sobre la vida del autor publicado. Antes de leer Buscando Mi Identidad (Volumen 2): La Evolución Cronológica De Un Motociclista Fuera De La Ley En El Camino Hacia La Redención, el editor recomienda una revisión exhaustiva de Buscando Mi Identidad (Volumen 1): La Evolución Cronológica De Un Adolescente Con Problemas A Un Motociclista Fuera De La Ley. |

And so he sets off on his own path through life, a path strewn with conflicting loyalties, love and loss... Spanning three decades and crossing continents, Jhumpa Lahiri's debut novel is a triumph of humane story-telling. Elegant, subtle and moving, The Namesake is for everyone who loved the clarity, sympathy and grace of Lahiri's Pulitzer Prize-winning debut story collection, Interpreter of Maladies. |

| doubletree by hilton dubai business bay: Shahnameh Abolqasem Ferdowsi, 2016-03-08 The definitive translation by Dick Davis of the great national epic of Iran—now newly revised and expanded to be the most complete English-language edition A Penguin Classic Dick Davis—“our pre-eminent translator from the Persian” (The Washington Post)—has revised and expanded his acclaimed translation of Ferdowsi’s masterpiece, adding more than 100 pages of newly translated text. Davis’s elegant combination of prose and verse allows the poetry of the Shahnameh to sing its own tales directly, interspersed sparingly with clearly marked explanations to ease along modern readers. Originally composed for the Samanid princes of Khorasan in the tenth century, the Shahnameh is among the greatest works of world literature. This prodigious narrative tells the story of pre-Islamic Persia, from the mythical creation of the world and the dawn of Persian civilization through the seventh-century Arab conquest. The stories of the Shahnameh are deeply embedded in Persian culture and beyond, as attested by their appearance in such works as The Kite Runner and the love poems of Rumi and Hafez. For more than sixty-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,500 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators. |

| doubletree by hilton dubai business bay: Islamic Fintech Sara Sánchez Fernández, 2021-03-29 The implementation of new technologies is expected to boost the development of Islamic Finance by increasing accessibility to banking and other financial services in Islamic communities and democratizing access to investment opportunities. At the same time, new technologies will increase financing opportunities and facilitate asset management for Sharia-compliant businesses. This collection of essays from selected experts in the field comprise some of the most topical issues on Islamic Fintech, combining a business focus with legal insights. The book takes as a point of departure the role that Islamic Fintech can play in promoting sustainability. The social vision of welfare improvement and justice is already embedded in Sharia’s economic rules, which makes Islamic Finance particularly well suited to bridge the gap between sustainability and funding. Although it is not without challenges for the industry, technology will help unleash its potential. With a holistic approach to Islamic Fintech, the contributing authors address the application of new technologies to Islamic Finance, including robo-advisory, crowdfunding and digital ledger technology (both in the issuance of bitcoin and the registration of securities in tokenized form) and in certain sectors such as takaful (takaful-tech) and health (e-health). Finally, they explore the challenges posed by anti-money laundering (‘AML’) in the specific realm of Islamic Fintech. The book combines theoretical analysis with a practical focus, both through case studies and directly through the experiences of leading entrepreneurs. In addition, it provides insights on legal and regulatory aspects, which are key in a field that is still in its infancy and needs support from lawmakers and regulators. It is, thus, a reference for academics, legal practitioners, policymakers, entrepreneurs and the Islamic Finance community. |

| doubletree by hilton dubai business bay: The Hiltons J. Randy Taraborrelli, 2014-04-01 The Hiltons is a sweeping saga of the success-and excess-of an iconic American family. Demanding and enigmatic, patriarch Conrad Hilton's visionary ideas and unyielding will established the model for the modern luxury hotel industry. But outside the boardroom, Conrad struggled with emotional detachment, failed marriages, and conflicted Catholicism. Then there were his children: Playboy Nicky Hilton's tragic alcoholism and marriage to Elizabeth Taylor was the stuff of tabloid legend. Barron Hilton, on the other hand, deftly handled his father's legacy, carrying the Hilton brand triumphantly into the new millennium. Eric, raised apart from his older brothers, accepted his supporting role in the Hilton dynasty with calm and quiet-a stark contrast to the boys' much younger half-sister Francesca, whose battle for recognition led her into courtrooms and conflict. The cast of supporting players includes the inimitable Zsa Zsa Gabor, who was married to Conrad briefly and remained a thorn in his side for decades, and a host of other Hollywood and business luminaries with whom the Hiltons crossed paths and swords over the years. |

Naiman reveals how the erosion of night by artificial light and the devaluation of sleep and dreaming have led to an epidemic of sleep disorders and consequent days of chronically dazed waking consciousness. Drawing on both clinical experience and personal explorations, Naiman offers a fresh look at sleep and dreams, and provides alternative healing practices for sleep disturbances. Moreover, he challenges us to acknowledge our spiritual night blindness and embrace the sacredness of night. This edition was revised in 2009. |

| doubletree by hilton dubai business bay: Tobakkonacht -- The Antismoking Endgame Michael J. McFadden, 2013-10-01 TobakkoNacht -- The Antismoking Endgame, is a frontal attack on the misuse of science and language to promote unjustified levels of smoking bans and taxes. The author, trained in statistics and propaganda analysis at Pennsylvania's Wharton School, dissects the scary antismoking studies that have made headlines over the past ten years. He shows clearly in each case how the data and language have been juggled to reach and promote the conclusions of those handing out the grant money and backs up his arguments with solid science clearly explained at a level that will satisfy both laymen and professionals. The book isn't all business though. It opens with a dystopian future tale of an Endgame in which the antismoking movement has gained full power and smokers are generally treated as near-criminals. The author explores the roots that could bring such a fiction into being and looks at the world that could be created... a very sad world indeed. The pseudo science used to push goals like outdoor smoking bans is also attacked with satire and with short essays taking the form of Letters To The Editor focusing on all the microarguments used by antismoking crusaders playing with their scientifical instruments and by fanatic who'd happily apply the same methodology to reducing automobile and alcohol use. A few more formal communications showing how to approach local and national governmental bodies are also offered, again with the benefit of exposing false arguments while showing how to effectively attack the authoritative sources that seek to silence the opposition with their prestige while pushing for ever wider bans and ever higher taxes. The book concludes with a strong section painting a path toward a winning endgame for those in the Free Choice movement, pointing to the weaknesses of the current crop of smoking prohibitionists and suggesting how they can best be countered. TobakkoNacht can best be summed up like this: It shows how the denormalization of smokers has warped science and ripped holes in our social fabric while transforming a worthy public health effort into a destructive social force assaulting our lives, our families, and our communities -- and it shows how to fight back! |
