This is a true story that places emphasis on a part of Black History that took place in the 1950's and 1960's. I was a young girl who was sheltered from many things that took place during this time period. I had friends that were black but did not realize that they were limited in their activities because of a prearranged world. The color of their skin limited their activities. They had to use different facilities, wait out back for their food, or sit in the balcony at the movie theatre. I wrote this story because our children need to live in a world free of prejudice. Lines should no longer divide black and white.

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to rise effortlessly to the top, while others are stuck in the same job year after year? Have you ever felt you are falling short of your career potential? Have you wondered if some of the things you do–or don’t do–at work might be hamstringing your ambitions? In The 12 Bad Habits That Hold Good People Back, James Waldroop and Timothy Butler identify the twelve habits that–whether you are a retail clerk or a law firm partner, work in technology or in a factory–are almost guaranteed to hold you back. The fact is, most people learn their greatest lessons not from their successes but from their mistakes. The 12 Bad Habits That Hold Good People Back offers the flip side to Stephen Covey’s approach in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, zeroing in on the most common behavior that can impede a career. Based on over twenty years of research as business psychologists, the authors claim that the reasons people fail in their jobs are the same everywhere. Only after these detrimental behaviors have been identified can the patterns that limit career advancement be broken. Using real-life accounts of clients they have worked with at Harvard and as executive coaches at such companies as GTE, Sony, GE, and McKinsey & Co., Waldroop and Butler offer invaluable–and in some cases, job-saving–step-by-step advice on how readers can change their behavior to get back on track. For anyone seeking to achieve his or her career ambitions, The 12 Bad Habits That Hold Good People Back is a powerful tool for unleashing true potential.

This report is the proceedings of the Fifth Annual World Bank Conference on Environmentally and Socially Sustainable Development, entitled "Partnerships for Global Ecosystem Management: Science, Economics, and Law." An additional event, comprising Part One of this volume, was held to consider values, ethics, and ecosystem issues from a global perspective. The presenters considered the historic influence of values and ethics in the development of societies; reflected on the role of values and ethics globally; addressed the relationship of values and ethics to justice; and examined how the valuing of life locally, and the local consequences of global conditions, can deny justice. Part Two comprises the proceedings of the Forum on Human Settlements, Human Solidarity, and Global Ecosystems: A Conservation. The panelists spoke and then participated with the audience in a plenary conversation concerning the issues that link the requirements of human settlements, viable communities, and healthy and diverse ecosystems.

Believers, who have come to the one True God through faith in Yeshua (Jesus), have been grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel. Through the prophet Ezekiel, God told that He Himself would come and rescue His lost sheep and set one shepherd over them. When Yeshua came, He declared that He was that Good Shepherd and He had other sheep who were not Jewish; they must be brought into the fold also. This uniting of Jew and Gentile together in one Body is called the One New Man. Non-Jewish Believers have been kept separated from their Jewish Brothers for the past 1800 years. Much rich heritage was lost to the non-Jewish part of Messiah's Body. Yet God said that Messiah will be retained in Heaven until the complete restoration of everything He had spoken through the prophets was accomplished. It is the purpose of this book to restore the Body of Messiah to the understanding of the Jewish roots of their faith. May we be the answer to Yeshua's prayer that all who believe would become One in Him. DeeAnna Koven was born again at age five through the ministry of Jewish Evangelist Hyman Appelman.
