DUBAI, UAE, November 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
The Islamic finance industry's leading certification institute, Ethica, today launched what may soon become the desktop reference of choice for the Islamic finance professional: a 700 page e-book packed with practical, usable information. Everything from sample Islamic finance contracts, over 1,000+ scholar-approved Q&As, the entire "Meezan Bank Guide to Islamic Banking," study notes to Ethica's award-winning Certified Islamic Finance Executive (CIFE) program, and much more. All organized with an easy-to-use subject index at the end.
Ethica is the first globally-recognized certification institute in Islamic finance to launch a comprehensive online guidebook for the industry. Ethica's spokesperson said, "We wanted to create a handbook that empowers professionals with a usable, practical reference that goes beyond standard academic theory."
What makes the e-book unique is that it emphasizes entrepreneurship. Sample contracts, product descriptions, and recommended reading lists target the newcomer who may not necessarily be interested in lining up for a job at a big bank. His horizons may extend to the entrepreneurial side of Islamic finance, which continues to be top-heavy with large banks dominating the headlines and smaller companies and start-ups largely absent from the industry.
Ethica's "Handbook of Islamic Finance (2013)" is now available free of charge at http://www.EthicaInstitute.com/ebook.aspx.
About Ethica Institute of Islamic Finance (http://www.EthicaInstitute.com)
Winner of "Best Islamic Finance Qualification" at the Global Islamic Finance Awards, Ethica is chosen by more professionals for Islamic finance certification than any other organization in the world. With over 20,000 paying professionals in 47 countries, the Dubai-based institute serves banks, universities, and professionals across over 100 organizations with its 4-month Certified Islamic Finance Executive (CIFE) program delivered 100% online. The CIFE is the only globally recognized certificate accredited by scholars to fully comply with AAOIFI, the world's leading Islamic finance standard.

Docker offers a new, lightweight approach to application portability. Applications are shipped using a common container format and managed with a high-level API. Their processes run within isolated namespaces that abstract the operating environment independently of the distribution, versions, network setup, and other details of this environment. This "containerization" has often been nicknamed "the new virtualization." But containers are more than lightweight virtual machines. Beyond their small...

The move in recent years to cloud computing services and architectures has added significant pace to the application development and deployment environment.

The consequent move toward lean, agile, and fast development leads to the need for the development and operations sides to work very closely together. Thus, DevOps become...

Prepare Now for Possible Severe Weather
MIAMI VALLEY -- We have seen slight risks but not a moderate risk this season here in the Miami Valley. Some of the severe weather indices we look at are showing EXTREME instability late afternoon into the evening due to a warm and moist atmosphere. By the evening we will have a warm front enter from the north, which will drive all this heat and moisture up into stronger/severe storms.
TIMING: Some will see severe storms earlier in the evening but the main bulk of the precipitation will be overnight starting closer to midnight.
THREATS: We could see everything, but the main threat with this will be damaging straight line winds. Right now our threat is at 45 percent, meaning that one out of every two 2 SEVERE thunderstorms could go severe. However, don't rule out large hail and even an isolated tornado. ALSO.... HEAVY RAIN. The storms, even if they are not severe in your neighborhood, could easily dump 1-2 inches of rain overnight, which could lead to some flash flooding. This warm and cold front attached to a low will roll through the overnight and will clear heading into the afternoon.

John Lauritsen
John Lauritsen is a reporter from Montevideo, Minn. He joined WCCO-TV in late-July of 2007. Two days after he started, the Interstate 35W bridge collapsed.
Before his television career, John grew up on a farm near Milan, Minn. and graduated from Montevideo Senior High School. He received a Master's Degree in mass communications from St. Cloud State University, and has also taught a class there as well. He credits growing up on a farm and going to school in a small town with helping him become the reporter he is today.
He began his career at KSAX-TV in Alexandria, Minn. before moving to Waterloo, Iowa where he worked for KWWL-TV. John also worked at Channel 12 in Brooklyn Park, Minn. before coming to WCCO-TV. He has been a reporter, anchor, sports reporter, sports anchor, editor, producer, and photographer during his television career.

In 2009, John received an Emmy for a story he did on a high school wrestler who survived the Cottonwood bus crash. He has also been nominated for several regional Emmys.
John's favorite stories are those that highlight a special moment in someone's life. In 2008, he reported on a soldier who came home from Iraq and surprised his daughter at her volleyball game.
And though he isn't a fan of snakes, John reported on Minnesota's only poisonous snake population in southeastern Minnesota and he managed not to get bit in the process.
When he's not reporting, John can be found at the gym or playing in one of three volleyball leagues that keep him busy year-round. He also plays in a football league in the fall and is an active tennis player.
In 2009, he ran the Twin Cities Marathon for the first time. He has also tried surfing, skydiving and rock climbing, and is an avid reader whenever he can find time to sit down.

CHICAGO (AP) — Two years ago, Arrica Wallace was riddled with tumors from widely spread cervical cancer that the strongest chemotherapy and radiation could not beat back. Today, the Kansas mother shows no signs of the disease, and it was her own immune system that made it go away.

Obama to promote his agenda to House Democrats
President Barack Obama is promoting his second-term agenda to House Democrats, eager to keep them unified as a bulwark against a Republican majority on issues as diverse as the economy, immigration and guns.
Associated Press
President Barack Obama is promoting his second-term agenda to House Democrats, eager to keep them unified as a bulwark against a Republican majority on issues as diverse as the economy, immigration and guns.
Obama was meeting with Democratic lawmakers Thursday during their retreat in Lansdowne, Va., a day after he held a closed-door session with Senate Democrats at their off-campus conference in Annapolis, Md.
The meetings with legislators from his own party come just days before Obama's State of the Union address next Tuesday to a joint session of Congress. This week's meetings have served as something of a preamble for that nationally televised speech.
Obama was to deliver public remarks to the House members and then take questions in a private session, officials said.
White House officials say that Obama's top priority is job creation and that he will make a case for fiscal policies that encourage economic growth. Setting up a contrast with Republicans who are insisting on spending cuts, not tax increases, to stanch federal red ink, Obama told reporters Tuesday, "We can't just cut our way to prosperity."
Obama met privately for more than two hours Wednesday with Senate Democrats. The White House said the president spoke briefly, took questions from 10 of the senators assembled, then spent an hour chatting with them in smaller groups. Obama's spokesman, Jay Carney, said the session was focused on coordinating what Democratic senators are doing with the administration's own efforts to promote Obama's priorities.
The meeting with House Democrats follows Wednesday's vote in the Republican-controlled House that would require the president to submit a budget that balances the federal ledger. The bill was symbolic, meant as a taunt to the president. It has little chance in the Senate but, still, 26 House Democrats voted for it.
In the Senate, Democrats hold the majority and can be far more effective at driving Obama's legislative agenda. But a unified Democratic caucus in the House is critical on issues that might divide Republicans, such as an overhaul of immigration laws or even some fiscal policies.
Carney has said Obama and lawmakers have made "significant progress" toward a bipartisan deal on immigration. The Senate has taken the lead assembling comprehensive legislation, including a path to citizenship for the nation's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants.
Gun control has been a thornier issue. Many Democrats are reluctant to embrace Obama's call for banning certain weapons. But Obama has argued that other proposals, such as universal background checks, have broad public support.
Vice President Joe Biden, addressing lawmakers at the retreat Wednesday, told them they can support the measures he and Obama are proposing without fear they'll be booted from office. He urged them not to learn the wrong lesson from the 1994 election, when Democrats lost control of Congress after supporting a ban on assault weapons that has since expired.
"I'm here to tell you the world has changed," Biden said. "Public attitudes have changed since 1994. Social media has changed. The ability to misrepresent our positions has changed."
On fiscal issues, Obama on Tuesday called on Congress to pass a short-term package of spending cuts and tax revenue to give lawmakers time to negotiate a broader deficit-reduction deal and to avoid deep spending cuts that are set to automatically kick in on March 1.

Meet Whoopi, Dolly and Della -- and other "stars" of the rose garden.
By Susan Morgan and Marie HoferMore in Outdoors
As a thank-you gift to the country singer for donating a copy of her 1971 gold album Rose Garden to the American Rose Society's 100th anniversary convention auction, says Anderson, "they sent me photos of six roses and great descriptions of them to choose from. The one I chose said 'extremely hardy' and I thought that description suited me to a 'T'."
In her xeriscape garden at her home in New Mexico, Anderson grows many plants, including high-altitude wildflowers and cacti. Because she has a dry, rocky soil in combination with a busy travel schedule, Anderson donated several of her rose bushes to the Chamber of Commerce, the local hospital and a women's center in Taos, N.M. "That way they're cared for by pros, and lots of people get to see and enjoy them."

Australians are one of the world's most mobile peoples, almost 20% of us move house each year, and almost half of us move every five years. Then there's the people who travel around following jobs in the mining industry, tourism or the defence forces.

Popular culture is often the window through which we view our past. It's our shared history, and it can define a nation, and a period of time.

Australia's first long-term statistical analysis of relationships has come up with some key factors that make, or break, a marriage.
Cohabiting is defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics as married defacto.
In the next 20 years it's projected that almost three-quarters of people on the planet will live in urban areas, most of them in the developing world.
A new study of Australian body size throws up some surprising facts. Women are shorter in New South Wales; men are taller in Queensland. Never-married women are likely to be taller. The shortest men completed Year 11 or less.
Third culture kids are identified by a childhood spent largely in a culture other than that of their parents. Some call themselves 'military brats', or they might be a 'diplomatic kid', or a 'business kid'.
We are now in the official 'Contain' phase of a pandemic virus. New cases of swine flu are being announced daily, as are new quarantining measures and school closures. At the same time, some experts are saying it's all an over-reaction.
Wealthy older people should sacrifice some of their financial benefits. This is the fairest way for the government to find savings in the Budget, according to journalist and commentator Brian Toohey.
