The Complete Muhammad Ali
No full textIncluding material and photographs not included in most of the 100 other books about the champion, Ishmael Reed's The Complete Muhammad Ali is more than just a biography-it is a fascinating portrait of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st. An honest, balanced portrayal of Ali, the book includes voices that have been omitted from other books. It charts Ali's evolution from Black Nationalism to a universalism, but does not discount the Nation of Islam and Black Nationalism's important influence on his intellectual development. Filipino American author Emil Guillermo speaks about how "The Thrilla' In Manila" brought the Philippines into the 20th century. Fans of Muhammad Ali, boxing fans, and those interested in modern African American history and the Nation of Islam will be fascinated by this biography by an accomplished American author.Intro -- DEDICATION -- INTRODUCTION -- The Curious History of an Icon -- CHAPTER 1 -- CHAPTER 2 -- CHAPTER 3 -- CHAPTER 4 -- CHAPTER 5 -- CHAPTER 6 -- CHAPTER 7 -- Did the Secret Government Fear a U.S. Muslim/Overseas Muslim Alliance? -- CHAPTER 8 -- CHAPTER 9 -- The Break Between the Prophet and his Disciple -- CHAPTER 10 -- CHAPTER 11 -- CHAPTER 12 -- The GOAT (Greatest Of All Time): Ali or Louis? -- CHAPTER 13 -- The Nation of Islam, the Mob, Showdowns in Canada and Sonny Liston -- CHAPTER 14 -- CHAPTER 15 -- The Taunts: Marketing or Racism? -- CHAPTER 16 -- CHAPTER 17 -- CHAPTER 18 -- CHAPTER 19 -- Boxing and the Brain -- CHAPTER 20 -- Ali's Feet -- CHAPTER 21 -- Mr. Dick -- CHAPTER 22 -- CHAPTER 23 -- The Opening Ceremonies, November 2005 -- CHAPTER 24 -- December 2005, Las Vegas -- CHAPTER 25 -- CHAPTER 26 -- June 16, 2004 -- CHAPTER 27 -- CHAPTER 28 -- CHAPTER 29 -- Aix-en-Provence -- CHAPTER 30 -- Ali as a Black Nationalist -- San Francisco, January 2004 Black Liberation Book Fair -- CHAPTER 31 -- January 31, 2004 -- CHAPTER 32 -- October 2005, Chicago -- CHAPTER 33 -- Why Ali remained with Elijah instead of following Malcolm -- CHAPTER 34 -- CHAPTER 35 -- February 4, 2006, Oakland, California -- CHAPTER 36 -- Like Zeus Descending from Mount Olympus -- CHAPTER 37 -- CHAPTER 38 -- Tuesday, February 28, 2006, New York -- CHAPTER 39 -- Bigger Than Boxing -- CHAPTER 40 -- Tribes Gallery, New York, April 2006 -- CHAPTER 41 -- June 2006, Louisville, Kentucky -- CHAPTER 42 -- CHAPTER 43 -- CHAPTER 45 -- Bad Company -- CHAPTER 46 -- Coxson, A Very Charming Rogue -- CHAPTER 47 -- Ali and the largest embezzlement scheme in Wells Fargo history -- CHAPTER 48 -- CHAPTER 49 -- "Lonnie is a stabilizing force."-Harry Belafonte -- October 29, 2006 -- CHAPTER 50 -- Abdul Rahman -- CHAPTER 51 -- CHAPTER 52 -- CHAPTER 53How Will Ali Be Remembered?

Sensor-based linked open rules (S-LOR): An automated rule discovery approach for IoT applications and its use in smart cities
No full textFARḌU IN THE BOOK OF ṢAFWAH AL-TAFĀSĪR BY MUHAMMAD ‘ALI AL-ṢĀBŪNĪ: Farḍu dalam Kitab Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr karya Muhammad ‘Ali al-Ṣābūnī
No full textThis study presents the formulation of the problem, namely: First, What is the Nature of Farḍu in the Book of Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr by Muhammad ‘Ali al-Ṣābūnī? Second, What is the Existence of farḍu in the Book of Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr by Muhammad ‘Ali al-Ṣābūnī? This type of research is qualitative by using descriptive analysis method. The author specifically uses a tafsir approach that is directly related to the Book of Tafsir Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr by Muhammad ‘Ali al-Ṣābūnī. Data were obtained through library research. The results of this study indicate that: first, the nature of farḍu in the Book of Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr by Muhammad ‘Ali al-Ṣābūnī first of all the word فرض means “to establish”, “to determine”, “to oblige” or “to require something firmly”, and its derivations are found in QS al-Baqarah/2:197, al-Qaṣaṣ/28:85, al-Aḥzāb/33:38, al-Tahrīm/66:2, al-Nūr/24:1, al-Baqarah/2:236-237, al-Nisā’/4:11, al-Nisā’/4:24, al-Taubah/9:60, al-Nisā’/4:7, al-Nisa/4:118, and al-Baqarah/2:68. Second, the existence of farḍu in the Book of Ṣafwah al-Tafāsīr by Muhammad ‘Ali al-Ṣābūnī is first seen from the diversity of meanings, the context of other farḍu in terms of worship obligations and obligations in Muamalah or Social. The implication of this research can be narrated that the substance of Farḍu is the balance of religious obligations and their application in daily life
Building semantic models and knowledge graphs for intelligent smart manufacturing applications
No full textIndustry 4.0 (I4.0) (or smart manufacturing) is a new era in the industrial revolution that emphasises machine connectivity, automation, and data an alytics. This revolution has led to the creation of production lines that produce machine-generated process data through sensors, leading to in creased efficiency and productivity. Ontologies have been used to integrate the data from various formats into a single, unified form. However, most of these ontologies have overstudied the essential concepts related to the I4.0 production line that are of key importance in building a knowledge graph for smart manufacturing. This thesis aims to propose a framework that can be adopted by any I4.0 production line with minimal modifications to build its knowledge graph. The framework has been tested using realistic data from two separate industrial use cases. The existing ontologies in the manufacturing domain have limited depth and expressiveness due to their scope and purpose mapping for applica tion specificity. As a result, this hinders the stakeholders in constructing their knowledge graphs. The First Contribution of this thesis is to address this challenge of application specificity. We provide Reference Generalized Ontological Model (RGOM) based on the Reference Architecture Model for I4.0. The I4.0-based Knowledge Graphs, or Knowledge Graph (KG) have been receiving significant attention over the past few years, and many re searchers are involved in building them in the form of manufacturing pro duction lines KG. However, most of the time, they have limitations when applied to a specific use case. These use cases are based on two possibili ties: (1) if the researchers are using synthetic data, or (2) if the use case is coming from an industry based on their private company data. The Sec ond Contribution of this thesis is to address this challenge related to data being real or synthetic. We provide one of the first datasets based on the re alistic data collected from a football production line. We have proposed an automated approach for mapping the data into RGOM to build a KG that is made publicly available for experiments by the I4.0 community. Moreover, the dataset enables the demonstration of RGOM adaptability with minimal modification in a manufacturing environment. The current techniques used to build KGs focus on integrating data from heterogeneous sources and often result in missing links between the entities. As a consequence of the missing links within the KGs, they cannot be exploited by the applications. We observe some missing links in the developed football production line KG. The Third Contribution of this thesis is to solve this challenge related to missing links. We address the challenge of KG missing links by utilizing state-of-the-art KG embedding models, namely ComplEx, DistMult, TransE, ConvKB, and ConvE, on football manufacturing production line datasets. The current ontologies are not publicly available and therefore cannot be accessed by other users for reuse purposes. Such a lack of availabil ity often requires that users build their ontologies from scratch, is a time consuming task. The Fourth Contribution of this thesis is the employ ment of a use case from Bosch to determine how RGOM can serve as a do main manufacturing ontology, facilitating integration among various data sources. In relation to this, we developed the Resistance Spot Welding Ontol ogy (RSWO) and align it with the RGOM. This research has introduced the Reference Generalised Ontological Model (RGOM) as a flexible framework for manufacturing production lines, which can be applied to any production line with minimal modifications. It can also be employed as a manufacturing domain-level ontology by align ing ontologies at the application level for enhanced interoperability. The results on the benchmark dataset (I40KG) have demonstrated more effi cient production processes and improved overall performance. Further more, the process of predicting missing links in the I40KG indicated that translational models demonstrated better performance on manufacturing based KGs compared to neural network models. This distinction can be attributed to the hierarchical structure of the KGs
