Knife of Dreams

The dead are walking, men die impossible deaths, and it seems as though reality itself has become unstable: All are signs of the imminence of Tarmon Gai’don, the Last Battle, when Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn, must confront the Dark One as humanity’s only hope. But Rand dares not fight until he possesses all the surviving seals on the Dark One’s prison and has dealt with the Seanchan, who threaten to overrun all nations this side of the Aryth Ocean and increasingly seem too entrenched to be fought off. But his attempt to make a truce with the Seanchan is shadowed by treachery that may cost him everything. Whatever the price, though, he must have that truce. And he faces other dangers. There are those among the Forsaken who will go to any length to see him dead--and the Black Ajah is at his side....

The Boy from Seville (Kar-Ben for Older Readers)
Dorit Orgad (Author),Avi Katz (Illustrator), Sondra Silverston (Translator)

Manuel Nunez’s life changes forever on the day his parents trust him enough to reveal a secret; they are Jews. Brought up as a Christian during the Spanish Inquisition of the 17th century, his family must observe their Jewish traditions in secret, for if they are discovered they will be punished – or worse.

"The horrific persecution...and the terror of ordinary life under threat...are ever-present, but so is the courage of those who kept the faith. Readers will be held by the compelling history." –Booklist

"This suspenseful novel gives a gritty look at life in Spain during the Inquisition. The action is non-stop and the suspense builds throughout the book as Manuel narrowly escapes discovery time after time." –Jewish Book World

"The Boy From Seville offers not only a good story...but an excellent starting point for a discussion of morality, loyalty, identity, and what freedom means." –Chicago Jewish Star

"...the reader will experience a genuine sense of Jewish family life during [this] terrible era....This book brings that time alive, leaving them to wonder what they would do if faced with these difficult choices." –AMIT Magazine

Employment Personality Tests Decoded
Career Press | 2007-07-30 | 216 Pages | PDF | 1 MB

At least 30 percent of American companies, from American Express and Bank of America and IBM to Marriott, Procter & Gamble, Time Warner, and a host of smaller firms, subject their employees to one or more personality tests each year. Why do they do it? Employers want to hire and retain employees who are qualified, confident, resilient, even-tempered, and loyal. Personality assessments, like coaches, help them identify potential problems. The corporate world is intense. Employers need to know how their staff will deal with the inevitable pull of priorities between a regimented corporate life and family responsibilities.
Under normal conditions--and under stress--how do you deal with conflicts, solve problems, and arrive at results? Will you overlook important details? Find it difficult to interact with your colleagues? Disrupt a team? Threaten your supervisor?

Employers care how you make sense of the world because they want you to be reliable-as reliable as the test they're subjecting you to. You will be hired--or retained--because the test shows you will pose the least financial risk to your employer.

Can these tests be "beaten"? The short answer is no. But you can certainly learn more about them and, based on that knowledge, have a better idea of the answers each test is looking for.

Employment Personality Tests Decoded will show you:
* Why corporations require tests.
* Details of the most popular tests.
* How to prepare for each type of test and assess your score.
* What good (positive) attitudes employers want to see on personality assessments and profiles.
* How to solve problems, get results, and simplify answers for clarity.
* Your legal rights when taking corporate personality assessments.
* How to ace team-building and leadership assessments, even under stress.

With Employment Personality Tests Decoded, you'll never again have to worry that you will fail to get the job you want--or keep the job you love-because you couldn't pass the personality test!
