A wedding could be a happy ending for some or simply a new beginning for others. While celebrating their cousin's wedding, sisters Julia and Alisa encounters two different men who are about to turn their worlds upside down. Julia finds herself instantly attracted to accomplished young law graduate Bazli Sulaiman, while Alisa finds herself instantly repulsed by his best friend and superior, Gadafi Wahid. While Bazli courts Julia, Alisa and Gadafi find themselves reluctant chaperones, forced to get to know each other despite their initial dislike toward each other. In this modern reimagining of Jane Austen's beloved novel, Pride and Prejudice, two sisters learn the true meaning of moving forward and that while chasing their own happy endings, they are learning to create new beginnings as well.
The world is falling apart. People are forgetting their basic values. Morality and law has parted ways, since some time now. But it was not long when humanity reigned supreme. The world decided to change and the change came at a price. The irretrievable socio economic conditions of the original and aboriginal people of the planet, which grew with the planet itself, had to pay the ultimate price. The systematic annihilation of the third world countries and their resources by the first world has left them only to die the death that follows hunger and starvation. They have been waiting for death. But their spirit and courage and their motivation to survive has led to come out of debris to generate and build great international movements which forced the world to accept the fact that they are the deprived lot and the subjects of violation. World today has a different light to show, the light which leads the way to the new world. The modern civilization and the new world need these people to be part of the whole and not someone different in the struggle to survive the ordeal the future has stored for the human civilization.
Becoming Designers is a study of six undergraduate students studying at a particular Art and Design college. The book narrates the experiences of these students' who are living, working and learning in a design-education setting, a environment I have often dubbed as The Idea Bazaar. It is very much a story that concentrates on the programmes that the school runs, the people who are responsible to execute them and the students who have voluntarily chosen to undertake them. Eventually, it's about expectation and desires, shortcomings and spot-on achievements of becoming young graduate designers via their Final Year Projects.

He doesn't care what others think when he wears his shoes around his neck. He knows he's making a difference in his mother's and his lives, and that's the important thing.

Addressing the sustainability agenda is never easy. The early promises of the corporate social-responsibility concept and application have raised better awareness and understanding of its concept and application. Understandably, the experience and outcome are never the same across the business and social community.To begin with, issues related to corporate social responsibility (CSR) come in hundreds of shades. The understanding of the definition alone depends on whose perspective and in what context. At the very least, there is now a greater acceptance of the concept, but increasingly, corporate leaders need no further persuasion that doing good is more than giving a donation.The myriad of CSR issues and concerns is, therefore, worth a relook but from the conceptual perspectives to understanding of the challenges, impacts, and trends. Perspectives on Social and Business Sustainability first describes the important elements of different aspects of how CSR is being understood, applied, and reported. The book examines how international trends and developments including market and technology disruptions will continue to shape the sustainability landscape.The book is relevant for those wanting to take a quick perspective of the evolving concept of sustainability and is also useful for those who only want to focus on specified area within the context of social and business sustainability.

The best way to summarize the main issues is fact-finding, and it should be inclusive of what people need to know about becoming professional in one of the more challenging environments. I took into consideration the paid and voluntary jobs I had in the United Kingdom, Israel, and Nepal before being invited to the Far East. Creating a career out of nearly nothing is nothing short of a miracle. The Chinese people have, in effect, allowed me to (1) create or establish a new home, (2) create a new career, (3) find a soul mate, and (4) finally publish what would be my sixth book.Almost no one helped me perform this duty because each foreign teacher has his or her strategies of teaching. I am, however, truly grateful for my loving wife, Yvonne Wu, for giving me all the assistance and guidance for making this happen. In view of the ever-challenging demands of Chinese students, parents, and bilingual schools, every effort is being made to modify methods to ensure that my classes are as interesting as possible. All my lessons include the use of the modernizing IT equipment, including electronic screens.Your enjoyment in reading is my most profound pleasure.
