The papers in this collection examine the ways in which Jews have been presented in photography, music, film, television, drama, literature and cultural mythology. The papers were delivered at Creighton University in 1995 as part of the eighth Annual Kluznick Symposium in Jewish Civilization.
How do you become one of the few organizations or individuals that become extraordinary?How can you succeed where most organizations fail? The goal of P NK GOLDF SH 2.0 is to help you to compete more effectively by becoming truly different. Based on over 400 case studies, the book provides an unconventional eight-part F.L.A.W.S.O.M.E. framework for achieving competitive separation by embracing flaws, instead of fixing them.P NK GOLDF SH 2.0 is broken into three main sections: Section I outlines the Why.It explores the need to embrace weirdness and amplify weakness to differentiate in business. We reveal how everything we've learned about weakness is wrong. We show how every weakness has a corresponding strength. We examine the seven reasons to embrace weirdness. The section ends with an explanation of our metaphor of the Pink Goldfish. We'll share the symbolism of the goldfish and the reasoning behind the color pink.Section II showcases the What.Here we examine the concept of being F.L.A.W.S.O.M.E. This is the idea of embracing your flaws. You can succeed because of your flaws, not despite them. We use F.L.A.W.S.O.M.E. as our acronym for the eight types of Pink Goldfish. We share our flaunting matrix and each type: Flaunting, Lopsiding, Antagonizing, Withholding, Swerving, Opposing, Micro-weirding, and Exposing. This section points out the ways to stand out by doing more of what makes you inherently imperfect, and intentionally less of what others consider normal and strong in business.Section III explains the How.Here we share the process of finding your own Pink Goldfish. We delve into the six A's. The first A is Assess, and it involves understanding what makes you imperfect. The second A is Appreciate. Appreciation is accepting and taking ownership of your uniqueness. The third A is Align. Aligning is about finding those areas of weirdness and weakness that resonate with your customer and create meaningful differentiation. The fourth A is Amplifi. Amplification is the process of turning up or turning down the dial to bring your differentiation to life. The fifth A is Augment. Augmenting is combining two or more strategies to become even more unique. The sixth and final A is Attack. Attack will provide insight on how to exploit the weaknesses of your competition.Praise for P NK GOLDF SH 2.0: "Don't hide the weird and the wacky parts of your organization. Use them to stand out from the crowd. Forget about strengths (or set them to the side for a minute). Leverage your weaknesses into the unique qualities that set you apart. These are the core messages of this smart book... Think about it. All the other goldfish are, well, gold. Imagine how you might thrive as the only pink goldfish in the pond."- Daniel Pink, author of WHEN and DRIVE"Packed with incredible examples, this book will have you spotting Pink Goldfish everywhere, and inspire you to breed your own, ASAP " - Jay Baer, founder of Convince & Convert and author of Hug Your Haters and Talk Triggers"Pink Goldfish offers a smart, powerful, and vibrant framework for any company that wants to stand out. Filled with fascinating case studies, this book shows how businesses can turn perceived flaws into strengths and connect authentically with their customers." - Dorie Clark, author of Reinventing You and Stand Out, and adjunct professor, Duke University Fuqua School of Business

This collection of humorous short stories warns us of the pitfalls of self-publishing and the dangers of demonic powers. It discusses classic literary characters and new internet sensations. Silly, surreal, stupendous; this book has something for almost everyone... who likes that sort of thing.Mark Hewitt has long been a fan of off the wall, nonsensical humor and, together with former Bournemouth University class-mates David Ruddock and Simon Jay, has put together a collection of humorous stories. The book begins with a tongue in cheek tirade against self-publishing. The next tale discusses an oddly shaped crocodilian who's only opponents are a failed scientist and a bumbling bufoon. David Ruddock takes a completely different look at the Dracula story, and Simon Jay tells us all about the peculiar life of romantic horror writer, and paranormal experience experiencer, Serena Kindred Hunt.It's not going to change the world or win awards, but it is rather fun.

On any given night, there are over 643,000 homeless people residing in shelters and on the streets across America. What can we do to help? "Levy crafts stories of characters who sear the memory: Old Man Ray, the World War II veteran who resents the VA system and regards himself as the de facto night watchman at Port Authority; Ben who claims to be a prophet disowned in his own country, crucified by the government and enslaved by poverty finds a bridge to the mainstream services and a path to housing through the common language of religious metaphors, including redemption and forgiveness; and Andrew who has been 'mentally murdered' is helped to understand his own situation and gain disability benefits through the language of trauma; among others. These stories are deftly interwoven with theory and practice as Levy constructs his developmental model of the engagement and pretreatment process. The outreach worker strives to understand the language and the culture of each homeless individual, builds a bridge to the mainstream services, and helps those providers to understand the special circumstances of these vulnerable people. Levy bears witness to the courage of these pilgrims who wander the streets of our cities, and his poignant book is a testament to the healing power of trusting and enduring relationships." --Jim O'Connell, MD - President and Street Physician for Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program The reader will... Experience moving real life stories that demystify homeless outreach and its central objectives and challenges. Learn about effective strategies of outreach & engagement with under-served populations. Understand and be able to utilize the stages of common language construction in your own practice.

Grove, who trained for many years with Haley, has been in this enviable position. In this book, which Haley calls "not profound, but practical", the two authors discuss cases typical of what therapists in mental health centers face: serious and chronic problems, threats of family dissolution or violence, and involvement of several systems, such as the court and protective services. Grove presents provocative questions: Should he try to reunite a couple even though the husband has been violent in the past and may be again? How can one empower a stepfather who is inept and unemployed and acts like a teenager himself? When a woman can't remember much of her childhood and so suspects she was abused, is remembering necessary? How does a couple's current sexual relationship relate to past abuse? If one partner of a divorcing couple is having an affair, should the therapist help the other partner become aware of the affair - and how? Together he and Haley devise innovative strategies for these problematic situations. While starting with individual cases, the discussion ranges widely over the dilemmas that arise in hypnotic and strategic family therapy. Haley clarifies many of his positions, shows where his position has changed over the years, and introduces new techniques. This is a marvelous chance to interact with a master of psychotherapy.
This outstanding work reveals how boards governing 21st-century organizations can change their practices and align their principles to successfully govern the organization of the new economy. The authors propose that judging a board's effectiveness should be done not in a "shareholder" context but in a "stakeholder" context instead. They couch their reforms in a framework that focuses on what determines effective governance behavior: information, knowledge, power, and rewards.They argue it is behavior, not practices that count, and look at boards from a group and an organizational perspective.
While much is known about who votes in American elections, much less is known about who donates. In this book, the authors utilize a unique and historically unprecedented data set of donors from the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections to answer longstanding questions: what is the relationship between donors and candidates? How do candidates attract and respond to contributors? How do campaign strategies reflect changing campaign finance laws and the development of the internet? With unprecedented cooperation from the Obama, McCain, and Romney campaigns, the authors investigate presidential campaign donors at all giving levels to produce the most systematic and complete analysis of donors to presidential nominees to date. As elections are decided increasingly by donors' dollars, Who Donates to Campaigns? provides relevant research on the broader trends in partisan polarization and, more generally, on how campaigns can engage more citizens in political participation.
