You Say More Than You Think: A 7-Day Plan for Using the New Body Language to Get What You Want - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Mind not only what people say, but how they say it; and if you have any sagacity, youmay discover more truth by your eyes than by your ears. People can say what they will, but theycannot look just as they will; and their looks frequently reveal what their words are calculated toconceal.—LORD CHESTERFIELD (1694–1773), LETTER TO HIS SONImagine a mirror suddenly dropped down before you during your last meeting, salesnegotiation, date, friendly get-together, or confrontation.Would you be able to spot the subtle nonverbal clues that may be sabotaging you in thesesituations—and keeping you from reaching your fullest potential?Are your facial expressions awkward?Are your hand gestures not quite right?Do you appear weak or arrogant or older than you are?Does the way you shake hands discourage people from doing business with you?Does your body language clash with your words?Do you have a glaring flaw that everyone notices but you?We interact with other people all day long, in every meaningful moment in our lives. Butwe don’t always understand what they’re thinking—nor do they understand our thoughts. If wedon’t have well-developed social perception, we may experience repeated failures: losing to thecompetition, job interview bombs, failed dates, trampled trust. But if we can hone that perception,learn to read people better, and communicate more effectively, that knowledge helps us in everypart of our lives. We start to enjoy more exciting career opportunities, more honest friendships,better dating prospects, even more frequent wins at work!Look at the successful people who cross your path daily. I’d bet most have at least twocharacteristics in common. First, they possess a sense of serene self-awareness. They seemcomfortable in their own skin. Second, they have a better-than-average ability to connect withother people. They know how to put people at ease and create an immediate sense of rapport.Both of these traits stem directly from a strong command of body language.Uncovering the mysteries of body language—how people communicate their thoughtsand feelings without saying a word—is a powerful first step toward mastering any socialsituation. All successful people know that the ability to detect and react to the split-second signalsthat skim across people’s bodies hundreds of times each day is crucial to getting what they wantin life. When something they’re doing isn’t effective, they’ve learned how to adjust their actionsto maximize the moment

“I clothed you in purple”: The Rabbinic king-parables of the third-century Roman Empire - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Abstract"I Clothed You in Purple"The Rabbinic King-Parables of the Third-Century Roman EmpireAlan AppelbaumMay 2007This is an analysis of comparisons the Rabbis made with kings, limited toRoman Palestine and to the ninety-year period beginning with the accession ofthe Emperor Septimius Severus in 193 C.E. and ending with the accession ofDiocletian. Based primarily on the original rabbinic texts, it also draws ontraditional Greek and Latin sources of imperial history and brings contemporarytheory to bear.A major part of the study re-examines current scholarly views aboutking-parables and finds them wanting - including the still prevalentpresupposition that "the king" is usually modeled on the emperor; the idea,recently renewed by Daniel Boyarin, that the Rabbis told the parables to makeTorah accessible to non-Rabbis; and, most important, the idea, championed byDavid Stern, that "the king," no matter what earthly ruler he is modeled on, isa stand-in for God. The study also supplements the ongoing work on king-parables being done by Clemens Thoma and his colleagues in Switzerland.As the study attends to the king-parables' form, structure, functions,settings and characters, it emphasizes the Rabbis' distinctive ideas about therelationship of humanity to God.Since the parables were produced by an intellectual elite in a countryoccupied by a world-empire, the study considers them as resistance literatureand explores what contemporary post-colonial theory and James C. Scott'swork concerning "hidden transcripts" may have to say about them.And since scholars of Roman history traditionally bemoan the paucity ofsources for the period, it poses the hypothesis that making comparisons to"kings" modeled on emperors or their representatives involves at least thinkingone knows something about them. The Rabbis' accounts of such "kings" notonly shed light on the attitudes of a group of literate citizens in a particulareastern province toward living, breathing emperors but also provideinformation about third-century imperial history, sometimes confirminggenerally accepted readings of traditional sources, sometimes supportingsources that have been regarded as questionable, and sometimes helping toresolve open issue
Young People and Sexual Exploitation: 'It's Not Hidden, You Just Aren't Looking' - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Work with sexually exploited young people can be rewarding yet difficult. They can be hard to access, often presenting challenging behavior. Sometimes it is painful to hear their life stories, whether these include abuse through the internet or exploitation experienced through having been trafficked into and within the country. Jenny J. Pearce draws on young people's voices to explore the difficulties that arise for researchers and for practitioners when working with sexually exploited young people. While child protection interventions must guide social work, she argues that other agencies such as health, education, housing and training each have a role to play in supporting a sexually exploited young person. Challenging the uncritical acceptance of the child as victim, the book suggests 'therapeutic outreach' as an approach to working with sexually exploited young people that can complement child protection procedures, support practitioners in the field and enhance the young person's sense of autonomy and responsibility during their transition to adulthood. The book advocates the relationship between practitioners and the young people they aim to support to be one of the most important resources in practice. "Young People and Sexual Exploitation" will be essential reading for anyone interested in preventing the sexual exploitation of children and young people. It will be particularly relevant for academics, students, practitioners and policymakers in the fields of social policy and social work, child and family work, child protection and youth work.

'You Should See Yourself': Jewish Identity in Postmodern American Culture - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The past few decades have seen a remarkable surge in Jewish influences on American culture. Entertainers and artists such as Jerry Seinfeld, Adam Sandler, and Tony Kushner have heralded new waves of television, film, and theater; a major klezmer revival is under way; bagels are now as commonplace as pizza; and kabalah has become as cool as crystals. Does this broad range of cultural expression accurately reflect what it means to be Jewish in America today? Bringing together fourteen essays by leading scholars, You Should See Yourself examines the fluctuating representations of Jewishness in a variety of areas of popular culture and high art, including literature, the media, film, theater, music, dance, painting, photography, and stand-up comedy. Contributors explore the evolution that has taken place within these cultural forms, whether transformations have been gradual or sudden, and how we can best explain these changes. Are variations in our understanding of Jewishness the result of general phenomena such as multiculturalism, politics, and postmodernism, or are they the product of more specifically Jewish concerns such as the intermarriage/continuity crisis, religious renewal, and relations between the United States and Israel? An introduction by Vincent Brook frames the essays by comparing Jewish identity in American culture to the fractured identities that are the norm in postmodern society. Accessible to students and general readers alike, this volume takes an important step toward advancing the discussion of Jewish cultural influences in this country.

You Talkin' To Me?: Rhetoric from Aristotle to Obama - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This is a witty, elegant enquiry into the art of persuasion. Rhetoric is nothing to be afraid of. It isn't the exclusive preserve of politicians: it's everywhere, from your argument with the insurance company to your plea to the waitress for a table near the window. It convicts criminals (and then frees them on appeal). It causes governments to rise and fall, best men to be shunned by their friends' brides, and perfectly sensible adults to march with steady purpose towards machine guns. In this highly entertaining (and persuasive) book, Sam Leith examines how people have taught, practised and thought about rhetoric from its Attic origins to its twenty-first century apotheosis. Along the way, he tells the stories of its heroes and villains, from Cicero and Erasmus, to Hitler, Obama - and Gyles Brandreth. Knowledge, it has been said, is power. And rhetoric is what gives words power.
You Can Have An Amazing Memory: Learn Life-changing Techniques and Tips from the Memory Maestro - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: As a child I was diagnosed with dyslexia and I was told bymy form teacher at school that I would not amount to muchin life. In fact, throughout my school days, no one held outmuch hope for me. Certainly, no one entertained the thoughtthat one day I’d appear in the Guinness World Recordsbook for what others have described as a feat of staggeringbrain power, or that I’d become World MemoryChampion, not just once but eight times over! Here aresome of the comments from my school reports when I wasaged ten – they make unhappy reading:“He tends to dream in the middle of a calculation,which leads him to lose track of the thought.”“[Dominic] has not paid much attention. Appears toknow more of the Universe than the Earth.”“Terribly slow. Often cannot repeat the question.Must concentrate.”“Unless Dominic really shakes himself up and getsdown to work, he is not going to achieve any success …he is painfully slow.”Although they might sound harsh, these reports paint afairly accurate picture of my state of mind as a child. I felt asthough my brain was like a muscle that was permanentlyrelaxed. My teachers knew it, and they were endlesslyfrustrated with me. In those days, teachers weren’tgoverned by quite the same codes of conduct they aretoday, and one in particular behaved appallingly toward me– shaking me, shouting at me and generally humiliating me infront of my friends. I guess he hoped to bring me out of myapparent stupor.Needless to say, I became highly stressed about going toschool. In fact, I was completely terrified. By the age of 11,I hated it, but not only that – I was also emptied of all self-esteem. I regret to say that walking out through the schoolgates at the earliest possible opportunity felt (at the time, atleast) like one of the happiest days of my life.Almost 15 years later, I taught myself to memorize adeck of cards. I can’t describe to you how that felt – notonly had I achieved an amazing feat of mental agility, I hadalso made a symbolic conquest. I had kicked back at all themistreatment, negativity and bad reports I’d received in myyouth. I suddenly realized that perhaps I wasn’t destined tobe the low achiever everyone had expected, after all. Ithought that if I could master a deck of cards, what else wasI capable of accomplishing? Slowly, with every newindication that I could build myself an amazing memory, Ibegan to gain self-confidence and self-belief and a world ofopportunities opened up before me.Now, my rather flaccid memory muscle of yesteryear hasbeen seriously put through its paces. A strict regime ofmemory training over the course of 25 years has turned itinto something that is beautifully toned and of which I amimmensely proud. What a pity that I didn’t discover andpractise the art of memory when I was at school!In this book I want to show you how you can train yourmemory not only to make it perform mental acrobatics thelike of which you’ve never thought yourself capable of, butalso to give you a massive boost in confidence, just as Ihave had. When you get a glimpse of what potential lieswithin your memory, you’ll soon realize that that potential isapplicable to other aspects of your brain power, too – fromyour powers of concentration and your ability to think onyour feet (your “fluid intelligence”) to your confidence as anarrator or speaker and even your ability to be thrown intoa gathering of people you don’t know and work the roomlike it’s exactly where you belong.By taking you along the path of my own journey ofdiscovery, mapping the routes and byways that brought meto where I am – and who I am – today, I hope I can giveyou the tools to find your own amazing memory.
