Sources for Funding: The Israel Foundation Directory

Book Description

A detailed description and analysis of the hundreds of foundations that are prepared to fund projects that relate to the State of Israel. This book also gives the reader an insight into what each foundation is looking for, and how to reach these foundations both in the United States and in Israel.

Book Description

Cases, Materials and Commentary on Law and Business provides readers with a fresh introductory approach to the study of law and business. The book draws together extracts from the principal cases and a selection of articles and legislative provisions that provide explanations of, and insights into the practical application of contract law prinicples. The commentary places all of the material in an appropriate social, business and legal context, highlighting the salient features of the leading cases and legislation in the main areas of contract and business law. The book is unique in that attnetion is specifically drawn to the recent legislative initiatives and changes in the fields of e-commerce, statutory unconscionable conduct, and professional liability for negligence. Such initiatives and changes represnet the new developments in contract law and tort law principles and are indicative of trends in current business practice both in Australia and overseas. The book makes material such as the Explanatory Memorandum to the recently lectronic Transaction Act 1999 (Cth), and the Explanatory Memorandum to the Trade Practices Act 1974 (Cth) readily available to students, legal practitioners and the business community. With regard to these key pieces of legislation, the inclusion of the Memoranda provides context for the legislative direction intended by Parliament. The inclusion of explanations provided by the Trade Practices Reporter provides a background for the statutory provisions of unconscionable conduct and adds meaning and clarity to these provisions. The authors of this book are experienced law scholars and teachers who have considerable experience in teaching business law to non-law students, and to students from whom English is not their first language. Cases, Materials and Commentary on Law and Business is designed to be a companion text to law and Business: Text and Tutorials

Book Description

From the bestselling authors of The 24-Carrot Manager comes a manager's handbook on motivating employees through praise and recognition. Employees fed a steady diet of carrots focus better on company goals. They spot new opportunities faster. They have longer employment life spans (translation: lower turnover). And they can lift companies higher than you might have dreamed possible.

Customer Reviews:

I'd have to give this book an F for sheer annoyance.......2007-10-10

While I'm sure it has good intentions this book should truly be burned, buried, and then have the ground over which it lay salted so that it may never rise to torment humankind (or fellow office workers) again.

Unfortunately, this book encourages many a lonely 40-something secretary/cat-lady to email quotes to her fellow co-workers (who have better things to do mind) or add to the bottom of her email signature (as if anyone really needed to get in touch with the secretary for anything ever).

Same old maxims.......2006-02-14

I looked forward to receiving this book but was sorely disappointed with what it delivered. I've had the same thoughts on employee recognition forever. There were no new ideas and very little specifics on improving recognition.

It is set up in a format where you can have a daily reminder that employee recognition is good and that is the best part of the book.

Definitely not a must have but a decent addition for your bookshelf.

Praise and Recognition Improves Morale.......2005-05-13

"The celebration of one success launches a thousand more." ~Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton

Can you achieve world-class results through recognition? We all know how it feels to be appreciated and yet why do so many companies focus more on profit and less on encouragement?

Adrian Gostick and Chester Elton are the world's leading authorities on employee motivation and explain how a steady diet of "carrots" is a much wiser way to build a strong workplace. This is a place where people are committed to company goals, are much happier, live much longer and respect their employer.

What are the carrots? They are ways you inspire, challenge, encourage, reward efforts and celebrate achievements.

This book is organized by the days of the year and reminds me of a desk calendar with quotes. Each page is filled with helpful suggestions and quotes by famous people.

The ideas I loved:

A Day Off for No Reason At All - now there is a way to garner some appreciation...
Dressed for Success - Reward an employee with a shopping spree for clothes
Perform a Random Act of Kindness
No More "Good Jobs" - avoiding generic responses

There are some surprising entries, like the one on February 11 where the authors show how you can reward failure and have a positive result. Just because someone failed, doesn't mean they didn't try or take great risks.

"People are afraid to risk in their jobs, primarily because of fear that failure will bring some sort of reprisal or ridicule. When this atmosphere is present, growth and innovation are stunted." ~February 11

A Carrot A Day is an excellent resource for managers who want happy and productive employees.

I wish my boss would read this book!.......2004-10-07

Bosses sometimes overlook the power of a kind word or an expression of approval. But to an employee such an expression can mean everything. This book is filled with great daily tips to help bosses remember to recognize deserving employees. For an employee its the little things that keep you motivated. I wish my boss would read this book!

Great for the office and beyond.......2004-10-07

The practical concepts offered in this book simply make sense. On a business level, these real-life action items provide great ideas to truly motivate my employees. I have to believe that if company leaders would truly embrace these principles they would not only enjoy more passionate employees but they'd also enjoy the bottom line impact. On the personal side, I also appreciate the hints that translate into being a better husband and dad.

Awesome! The best of the best!.......2005-05-25

This is one of six books the author edited of recipes that won blue ribbons at state/county fairs - and each is absolutely awesome. Every recipe is clearly written, shows the name and location of the contributor and the fair(s) at which it won a blue ribbon, and is preceded by a brief description of why it is so special, where it originated (e.g., long time family favorite), etc. Everything I've tried has been sensational, and there are many more that I can't wait to try. Don't miss this one!

Entertaining and VERY enlightening. Absolutely a must-read for any American or Capitalist Pig over 21. Highly Reccommended!!

Product Description

How to create wealth and financial freedom while planning for the rest of your life.

Book Description

Our technological culture has an extremely dynamic character: old ways of reproducing ourselves, managing nature and keeping animals are continually replaced by new ones; norms and values with respect to our bodies, food production, health care and environmental protection are regularly being put up for discussion. This constantly confronts us with new moral problems and dilemmas. In discussion with other approaches this book argues that pragmatism, with its strong emphasis on the interaction between technology and values, gives us both procedural help and stresses the importance of living and cooperating together in tackling these problems and dilemmas. The issues in this book include the interaction of technology and ethics, the status of pragmatism, the concept of practice, and discourse ethics and deliberative democracy. The book has an interactive design, with original contributions alternating with critical comments. The book is of interest for students, scholars and policymakers in the fields of bioethics, animal ethics, environmental ethics, pragmatist philosophy and science and technology studies.

ASIN: 0894992449

Book Description

Tax havens are one of the most important subjects for an international entrepreneur or investor, yet few understand and use them properly. One group discount them as hiding holes for dirty money, which is not a legitimate use for tax havens. Others think they are only for banking money after you have made it. Not true either.

Tax havens are a very complex subject, but the hours you spend studying their use will probably pay you more per hour than the hours you spend directly earning an income—an unfortunate commentary on the confiscatory taxation policies of most governments.

Starchild has updated his work with a lot of new material—the little secrets that are unknown to most lawyers and accountants—and put it all in one comprehensive work for your convenience.

One of Starchild's main theme is the use of favorable tax havens that have a cosmetic appearance that does not shriek tax haven to all who see the business address. Instead of the Cayman Islands or the Bahamas, the sophisticated tax avoider learns how to accomplish his ends more effectively from Ireland, Austria, Hong Kong or the Netherlands.

In this book, he goes far beyond even his earlier editions of The Tax Haven Report, adding such fascinating new strategies as "The United States as a Tax Haven" (it is nearly a total tax haven for the foreign investor), the use of a number of practical residential tax havens (including Campione, Ceuta, Argentina, Costa Rica, and more), and the use of Greece, the Philippines, Tunisia, and Jordan as totally tax-free havens.

Book Description

No longer considered taboo, the transfer of wealth to the next generation concerns individuals of all ages. Leaving one's estate to an appointed individual, individuals, or organization carries significant financial implications which enhance the importance of a smooth and cost effective mode of transfer. Increased globalisation mandates an examination of the procedure and implications of differing jurisdictions' decisions on where, to whom, and in what fashion to leave an estate. Global Estate Planning fully addresses the vital, complex questions that arise from the law in this area. This easy-access reference work focuses on inheritance, estate, and gift taxes in key jurisdictions around the world. The country reports, all written by practitioners well-versed in the particularities of their individual national legislations, emphasize the various national and international planning opportunities offered by different jurisdictions. This comprehensive analysis enables Global Estate Planning to meet the needs of the layperson or advisor in making or recommending educated, well-informed fiscal decisions.

A Must Read For Everyone!.......2001-03-12

This story has been and will continue to be a true inspiration to anyone who reads it. I have known Captain Burk for thirteen years and was familiar with his experiences. The book provided me an in depth realization of the chain of miracles that lead to Mr. Burk's survival of such a tragic event. The Bridge Never Crossed causes the reader to reflect on what is really important in life and realize that God has a plan for each of us. I have purchased several copies to share with family and friends. George has been one of the most influential people in my life. He is constant reminder that each of us control our own destiny.

A Must Read For Everyone!.......2001-03-12

A PERFECT GIFT!!.......2000-12-28

This wonderful, courageous and inspirational story makes a perfect gift for anyone on your list - mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, co-workers, friends, enemies, ANYONE! Capt. George Burk is a truly remarkable, amazing man with a truly remarkable, amazing story...a story that I defy ANYONE not to be moved by. Capt. Burk was a recent guest on our radio show...and never has any guest had the impact on my me and my co-host, Debbie...but our producer, the engineer - EVERYONE IN THE BUILDING! George Burk is one of the most incredible people I have ever had the great opportunity to come into contact with. I will say right now...if you haven't read this book - read it NOW!! You will not be sorry - you will be changed.

An awsome, unique and inspirational story........2000-07-15

George Burke's survival story was first heard by me on a radio talk show. His book is as awsome as his discussion was, and I was profoundly moved by his courage, determination, and humor. I have often recommended his book to my "special needs" clients. His story gives much needed encouragement to them, and a new perspective in facing the challenges of living, despite tragic events. I was so impressed by George, that he will now be the keynote speaker at the 6th Annual Joint Services Special Needs Awareness Forum in Norfolk, Virginia.

The Bridge Never Crossed.......2000-02-26

After meeting the author in person,reading his book was as powerful as listening to him speak.Mr.Burk takes you on a journey that only a true survivor would attempt. His stop at the Bridge is the starting point for us all !
