Book excerpt: This lecture attempts to highlight a discussion of common practices based on the Influence of Social and Behavioral Elements on Legacy Linear Analyses. Utilizing the well-known phrase "you can't fit a square peg in a round hole" or "you can't fit a round peg in a square hole" and mathematizing it, we would attempt to set the stage to discuss which one gives us less uncovered area. With this in mind we would look at recent attempts at solving large problems by using less than optimal solutions, and solving relatively small problems with large mathematical models. We will also discuss possible social and behavioral elements and drivers, and the potential implications of these practices.

Download or read book Square Peg in a Round Hole written by Bruce H. Joffe and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-01-23 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life, in some ways, has been more complicated for those of us who are baby boomers ... especially if we’re “different” and grew up on that side of the Stonewall. Come out? Why, most of us couldn’t even join in. Rather, we tried to deny ourselves, hoping the burdensome secret would soon depart. It never did. So, we turned to prescription drugs, self-inflicted voodoo, and pejorative prayer. Mostly, though, we married—expecting that wives, wedding rings, and children would add legitimacy to our lives and help keep the demons at bay. None of that worked. And, sadly, others were also hurt by the deception. Though our options may be greater now, it’s still challenging being one more offbeat member in a much-maligned cast. Yet with each new voice that joins the chorus, we move another step closer toward embracing the inalienable and reclaiming souls lost. Listen: I can’t carry a tune but, please, let me sing! Great first review from The Augusta Free Press: AugustaFreePress And here ́s what the Staunton News-Leader said: StauntonNews-Leader When Sexual Orientation and Identity Conflict... Men May Marry, Yet Carry-On Clandestinely with Other Men Many middle-aged men are intimately involved with other men. Married or not, most of them tragically choose anonymity over acknowledging their true selves to others and, often, even themselves. Why are these men so secretive and afraid of revealing their sexual orientation? Because they grew up at a time when culture and society exorcised homosexuality, treating homosexual men and lesbians as lepers: sick, reprobate, reprehensible pariahs. So their sexual behavior, orientation, and identity conflict and increasingly collide. That’s the thesis of Bruce H. Joffe, a college professor whose new tell-tale book is a memoir about myriad masked men supposedly “straight” but actually same-sex oriented. Square Peg in a Round Hole follows the author’s attempts to delude himself and loved ones, tracing his experiences rejecting, confronting, and ultimately embracing the man he now believes God meant him to be all along. For Joffe and many men like him, the challenge required reconciling religious beliefs with his innate predisposition. An enigma within an enigma, Joffe is a Gay Jewish-Christian whose academic focus has been on Sexual Minority Studies for the past ten years. The connection enabled him to meet many men from the baby boom generation still struggling with their sexuality—online, in support groups, at churches, and through other social networks. Married with children or still single, politicians, celebrities, sports figures, and even evangelical leaders are now coming out and confessing ... or being forced to do so. Dropping a political bombshell, former New Jersey Governor James McGreevey announced his resignation after revealing that he is gay and that he’d had an adulterous affair with another man. Spokane Mayor Jim West, Florida Congressman Mark Foley, and Idaho Senator Larry Craig similarly symbolized political anathema and personal grief when their suppressed sexuality became public fodder for the media frenzy. The Rev. Paul Barnes, senior pastor of Grace Chapel, an evangelical Colorado mega-church, resigned following a phone call outing him to the church. “I have struggled with homosexuality since I was a five-year-old boy,” Barnes said, according to the Denver Post. “I can’t tell you the number of nights I (had) cried myself to sleep, begging God to take this aw

Download or read book Square Peg written by Todd Rose and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the seventh grade, Todd Rose was suspended-not for the first time-for throwing six stink bombs at the blackboard, where his art teacher stood with his back to the class. At eighteen, he was a high school dropout, stocking shelves at a department store for $4.25 an hour. Today, Rose is a faculty member at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Square Peg illuminates the struggles of millions of bright young children -- and their frustrated parents and teachers--who are stuck in a one-size-fits-all school system that fails to approach the student as an individual. Rose shares his own incredible journey from troubled childhood to Harvard, seamlessly integrating cutting-edge research in neuroscience and psychology along with advances in the field of education, to ultimately provide a roadmap for parents and teachers of kids who are the casualties of America's antiquated school system. With a distinguished blend of humor, humility, and practical advice for nurturing children who are a poor fit in conventional schools, Square Peg is a game-changing manifesto that provides groundbreaking insight into how we can get the most out of all the students in our classrooms, and why today's dropouts could be tomorrow's innovators.

Book excerpt: A book that argues that lessons in creativity, innovation, salesmanship, and entrepreneurship can come from surprising places: pirates, bootleggers, counterfeiters, hustlers, and others living and working on the margins of business and society. Who are the greatest innovators in the world? You're probably thinking Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford. The usual suspects. This book isn't about them. It's about people you've never heard of. It's about people who are just as innovative, entrepreneurial, and visionary as the Jobses, Edisons, and Fords of the world. They’re in the crowded streets of Shenzhen, the prisons of Somalia, the flooded coastal towns of Thailand. They are pirates, computer hackers, pranksters, and former gang leaders. Across the globe, diverse innovators operating in the black, grey, and informal economies are developing solutions to a myriad of challenges. Far from being "deviant entrepreneurs" that pose threats to our social and economic stability, these innovators display remarkable ingenuity, pioneering original methods and practices that we can learn from and apply to move formal markets. This book investigates the stories of underground innovation that make up the Misfit Economy. It examines the teeming genius of the underground. It asks: Who are these unknown visionaries? How do they work? How do they organize themselves? How do they catalyze innovation? And ultimately, how can you take these lessons into your own world?

Book excerpt: Mike lived in a lovely town, in a lovely house with parents who made him lovely sandwiches every day to take to his lovely job in his lovely car. In his late twenties he knew this wasn't right. What a saddo! He would sit in his sales show room dreaming about an exotic existence fraught with danger where people were scared of him. This last bit was of particular importance and he still doesn't know why. Finally he could take no more and did something about it. Mike takes you on a very unique journey of various experiences and how it taught him to man up to life in fulfilling his own personal dream goal of becoming a bad boy. A sort of riches to rags mentality in undoing his preciousness and adopting a better to be someone for a day than no one for a lifetime approach, achieving an inner contentment that so many of us are so afraid of reaching for.

Download or read book Boy in the Blue Hammock written by Darren Groth and published by Harbour Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-30 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a time of isolation and scarcity, a regressive regime rules with absolute power, turning neighbour against neighbour, and crushing dissidence with deadly force. A microcosm of this monstrous time: the tiny Pacific Northwest town of Gilder. In a house on the fringes of the decimated hamlet, Kasper—fifteen, intellectually disabled, limited ability to speak—has miraculously survived the slaying of his family. But alone, he is a fleeting miracle. Alone, he is on borrowed time. Alone, his yellow headphones, brown blanket and beloved copy of The Gingerbread Man are scant consolation. Alone, he is destined to die within the folds of the blue hammock hanging from his bedroom ceiling. Kasper is not alone. Tao—failed service dog turned family pet—has also survived the attack. And with the discovery of Boy, Tao understands he has a duty: guide the last living member of his pack out of the house and through the ravaged streets of Gilder to safety. The destination? The one refuge he can conceive of in a world gone mad. Boy in the Blue Hammock is an epic tale of loss and loyalty, of dissent and destruction, of assumption and ableism. With a unique premise, powerful narrative and evocative prose, the novel might be the best kept literary secret of 2022.
