    STATE OF NEW JERSEY Department of Labor and Workforce Development Division of Wage and Hour Compliance - Public Contracts Section PO Box 389 Trenton, NJ 08625-0389 PREVAILING WAGE RATE DETERMINATION The New Jersey Prevailing Wage Act (N.J.S.A. 34:11-56.25 et seq.) requires that the Department of Labor and Workforce Development establish and enforce a prevailing wage level for workers engaged in public works in order to safeguard their efficiency and general well being and to protect them as well as their employers from the effects of serious and unfair competition. Prevailing wage rates are wage and fringe benefit rates based on the collective bargaining agreements established for a particular craft or trade in the locality in which the public work is performed. In New Jersey, these rates vary by county and by the type of work performed. Applicable prevailing wage rates are those wages and fringe benefits in effect on the date the contract is awarded. All pre-determined rate increases listed at the time the contract is awarded must also be paid, beginning on the dates specified. Rates that have expired will remain in effect until new rates are posted. Prevailing Wage Rate The prevailing wage rate for each craft will list the effective date of the rate and the following information: W = Wage Rate per Hour B = Fringe Benefit Rate per Hour* T = Total Rate per Hour * Fringe benefits are an integral part of the prevailing wage rate. Employers not providing such benefits must pay the fringe benefit amount directly to the employee each payday.

  • The Concept of Ministry in the Arabic Political Tradition Its Origin, Development, and Linguistic Reflection
    The Concept of Ministry in the Arabic Political Tradition Its origin, development, and linguistic reflection IVAN V. SIVKOV Abstract The paper presents the results of an analysis of the term “ministry” (wizāra) as one of the pivotal concepts in the Arabic/Islamic political tradition. The ministry as key political/administrative institution in the Arabic/Islamic traditional state machinery is researched from a historical/institutional perspective. The concept of ministry is treated from the point of its origin and historical development, as well as its changeable role and meaning in the variable Arabic political system. The paper is primarily dedicated to the investigation of the realization of the concept of ministry and its different types and branches in the Arabic language through the etymological and semantic examination of the terms used to denote this institution during the long period of administrative development of the Arabic world from its establishment as such and during the inception of the ʿAbbāsid caliphate to its usage in administrative apparatus of modern Arab states. The paper is based on Arabic narrative sources such as historical chronicles, collections of the official documents of modern Arabic states, and the lists of its chief magistrates (with special reference to government composition and structure). Keywords: term, terminology, concept, semantic, etymology, value, derivation Introduction The term wazīr is traditionally used to denote the position of vizier who was the state secretary, the aide, helper and councilor of the caliph/sultan of the highest rank in the administrative apparatus of ʿAbbāsid Caliphate and its successor states (e.g., Būyids, Fāṭimids, Ayyūbids and Salǧūqs).

  • What Native Christians in the Middle East Continue to Face: Why It Matters for Both the Caring and the Unconcerned
    What Native Christians in the Middle East Continue to Face: Why it Matters for Both the Caring and the Unconcerned By Habib C. Malik [The annual Earl A. Pope Guest Lecture in World Christianity, delivered at Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, April 12, 2016, at 7:00 pm.] There have been Christians and Christian communities living in the Middle East since the dawn of Christianity. After the better part of twenty centuries in and around the Land of the Lord’s Incarnation and Resurrection, however, the presence of these native Christians is threatened with nothing less than termination. What exists today of these communities are the few tenacious remnants scattered throughout the Levant, Iraq, and Egypt of the earlier far larger and more geographically prevalent ones that have steadily dwindled over time due to sustained stresses and pressures brought on historically for the most part from the encounter with Islam. Today, in the early 21st century, the rise of militant and violent Islamism combined with a pervading apathy in the wider world as to the plight of these beleaguered Christian communities threaten to hasten the final demise of Christianity in and around its original birthplace. The bleak future for Christians native to the Middle East, I submit to you tonight, relates organically to the state of Christians and Christianity in today’s largely post-Christian secular Europe, and in the West as a whole. Many will dismiss this alleged connection out of hand, but it continues to impose itself thunderously in the face of all such denial and disinterest.

  • Eblaites - Oxford Reference
    Eblaites - Oxford Reference https://www-oxfordreference-com.ezaccess.libraries.psu.edu/view/10.10... The Oxford Encyclopedia of Archaeology in the Near East Edited by Eric M. Meyers Publisher: Oxford University Press Print Publication Date: 1997 Print ISBN-13: 9780195065121 Published online: 2011 Current Online Version: 2011 eISBN: 9780199892280 Eblaites. Scholars utilize the ethnonym Eblaites to refer to the people of Ebla, a major Bronze Age city-state in northern Syria. Discussions about the identity of peoples, especially in the Near East, typically rely on factors such as the identification of the language utilized and the gods worshiped. Thus, because the eblaite language is Semitic and many of the gods worshiped at Ebla occur elsewhere in the pantheons of other Semitic peoples, it is generally accepted that the Eblaites were a Semitic people. However, a host of problems specific to refining this statement continues to be debated. The classification of the Eblaite language within the Semitic family of languages is the center of a sharp debate. Some scholars view Eblaite as a dialect of Old Akkadian, in which case it would be proper to speak of the Eblaites as a branch of the East Semites (Akkadians, Assyrians, and Babylonians). Other scholars view Eblaite as a branch of West Semitic, with an especially close relationship to other West Semitic languages utilized in Syria (in particular, the roughly contemporary Amorite and the later-attested Aramaic). The majority of the evidence favors the latter opinion. To cite one example, the Eblaite first-person independent pronoun I is 'ana, exactly as in Amorite and Aramaic.

  • “Muslims Are the New Jews” in the West: Reflections on Contemporary
    Uriya Shavit “Muslims arethe New Jews” in the West: Reflections on ContemporaryParallelisms This article examines aspectrum of contemporary textsbyMuslim essayists, scholars, and activists based in the Arab world, in Europe, and in the United States thatcomparativelyanalyzed Jewish experiencesinthe West as invaluable lessons for Muslim minorities. These included: antisemitism and the struggle against it; segregation from and integration into majoritysocieties; and political lobbying on behalf of the “greater nation.” The article argues that the diversityof Jewishrealities,past and present,and the general sense that Jewish minorities in the West ultimatelyfound ways to preservetheir religious identity while amass- ing social-political influence, have renderedcomparisons between Muslims and Jews an essentialaspect of different (and at times contesting) arguments about the future of Muslim minorities in the West. Introduction In 2012,Israel’sChannel 10,the country’ssecond-largest commercial television network, aired adocumentary series entitled “Allah Islam,” which painted an alarming picture of radicalizedMuslim communities in Europe. The series, de- scribed by several critics as uneven,¹ was met with exceptional public interest, with ratingsfor the network soaring to as much as 20 percent.The notion that Europe is being Islamized, or is under “Muslim occupation,” has been repeatedly articulated in recent years in Israeli media. Reports on European Jews (particu- larlyFrench Jews), who migrated to Israel or contemplate doing so and invoke their concern about Muslim attitudes to Jews as amain motivation, contribute to the imageofEuropean Muslims as an imminent threat.² In the past decade, Note: This is arepublication of the author’searlier publication of the same title in the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs 36, no.

  • The Central Islamic Lands
    77 THEME The Central Islamic 4 Lands AS we enter the twenty-first century, there are over 1 billion Muslims living in all parts of the world. They are citizens of different nations, speak different languages, and dress differently. The processes by which they became Muslims were varied, and so were the circumstances in which they went their separate ways. Yet, the Islamic community has its roots in a more unified past which unfolded roughly 1,400 years ago in the Arabian peninsula. In this chapter we are going to read about the rise of Islam and its expansion over a vast territory extending from Egypt to Afghanistan, the core area of Islamic civilisation from 600 to 1200. In these centuries, Islamic society exhibited multiple political and cultural patterns. The term Islamic is used here not only in its purely religious sense but also for the overall society and culture historically associated with Islam. In this society not everything that was happening originated directly from religion, but it took place in a society where Muslims and their faith were recognised as socially dominant. Non-Muslims always formed an integral, if subordinate, part of this society as did Jews in Christendom. Our understanding of the history of the central Islamic lands between 600 and 1200 is based on chronicles or tawarikh (which narrate events in order of time) and semi-historical works, such as biographies (sira), records of the sayings and doings of the Prophet (hadith) and commentaries on the Quran (tafsir). The material from which these works were produced was a large collection of eyewitness reports (akhbar) transmitted over a period of time either orally or on paper.

  • MALIK in MODERN MIDDLE EASTERN TITULATURE * by AMI AYALON Tel Aviv on a Sunny Morning, 29 October 1916, a Large Number of Notab
    MALIK IN MODERN MIDDLE EASTERN TITULATURE * BY AMI AYALON Tel Aviv On a sunny morning, 29 October 1916, a large number of notables, 'ulamä', townsmen and tribesmen, gathered in the Grand Mosque of Mecca. They came to hear the Sharif Husayn ibn Ali declare himself "King of the Arab Lands" (malik al-bildd al-"arabiy'ya) and to offer him the traditional bay'a. Husayn, until recently the Amir of Mecca approved by the Ottoman Sultan, had rebelled against his master who, in turn, had revoked the Sharif's appointment, leaving him with no official status. Husayn resolved to proclaim his sovereignty. He would have adopted the title khalifa, or at least amir al-mu'minin; but he knew that the British would never recognize him as such, and he could by no means dispense with British recognition. On the advice of his son Abdallah the Sharif contented himself with becoming malik-the first Arab ruler to be so I designated in modern times.1 The act of declaration immediately became a controversial event. The British and the French objected to Husayn's claim to sovereignty over "the Arab lands", and forced him to settle for the more modest designation "King of the Hijaz". Another controversy would develop in later years among scholars who would argue about the Sharif's motiva- tion in adopting the title-whether it was an early expression of Arab nationalism or, perhaps, merely a reflection of Husayn's ambition to strengthen his position vis-a-vis his enemies in the peninsula. One thing, however, was indisputable: Husayn regarded the title malik as a sign of * The author is indebted to Prof.

For two millennia the Syriac language was a symbol of identity among its Christian communities. Religious disputes in the Byzantine era produced not only doctrinal rivalries but also linguistic differences. Throughout the Islamic era, the Syriac language remained the language of the majority despite.Arabic hegemony.
