As the analysis of big datasets in sports performance becomes a
more entrenched part of the sporting landscape, so the value of
sport scientists and analysts with formal training in data
analytics grows. Sports Analytics: Analysis, Visualisation and
Decision Making in Sports Performance provides the most
authoritative and comprehensive guide to the use of analytics in
sport and its application in sports performance, coaching, talent
identification and sports medicine available. Employing an
approach-based structure and integrating problem-based learning
throughout the text, the book clearly defines the difference
between analytics and analysis and goes on to explain and
illustrate methods including: Interactive visualisation Simulation
and modelling Geospatial data analysis Spatiotemporal analysis
Machine learning Genomic data analysis Social network analysis
Offering a mixed-methods case study chapter, no other book offers
the same level of scientific grounding or practical application in
sports data analytics. Sports Analytics is essential reading for
all students of sports analytics, and useful supplementary reading
for students and professionals in talent identification and
development, sports performance analysis, sports medicine and
applied computer science.
In this fresh look at finding balance between work and sabbath
rest, Justin McRoberts leads readers on their journey from false
self to true self, discovering that growth and maturity take root
in the knowledge of their belovedness in Christ. In his two decades
working as a full-time artist and spiritual guide, Justin McRoberts
has experienced first-hand the tension between "The Hustle" and
"Self Care." In recent years, that conversation has turned to
argument as people have suggested that one is more important than
the other. But Justin disagrees entirely with such a one-sided
approach. Justin says, "My natural posture is not work, nor is my
natural posture rest. My natural posture is belovedness, and both
work and rest spring from my belovedness, and return me to it." In
this book, he uses humorous and poignant stories to help readers
discover the deep truths about us being laborers for/with Christ,
empowered by the Spirit, as well as worshipers of God the Father.
Readers will learn how Sabbath is a gift and a practice that frees
us from the anxiety of proving ourselves They are loved and valued
by God for who and whose they are—not for what they do Rest is
not the absence of work; it is what gives work meaning We can love
our world and the people in it through what we do We are not tools
in God's tool belt, valued only for our gifts and talents. Nor are
we ascetics called to abandon "daily life" to find God in the
desert and just sit there. We are beloved by the One who holds all
things together . . . including our need to work and our need to
rest.
The guidance in this book teaches Course #1. Before anabolic
steroids started to infest the body-building world, variations of
Course #1 were famous, popular, and responsible for building tons
of muscle. But in the 1960s, when the use of steroids became
popular among competitive body-builders, the popularity of Course
#1 began to wane. Since then, the routines most commonly promoted
in the body-building world have been those used by physique stars
who were genetically gifted for body-building and on steroids. But
those routines do not work well, if at all, for most other
body-builders. The guidance in this book is founded on the amazing
progress that Peary Rader made -- around 50 pounds of natural
muscle growth following 12 years of failure on other routines. Here
are the three primary characteristics of Course #1: 1) It is very
effective. Its track record for producing lots of muscle growth is
illustrious (even for hard gainers); 2) It is up to date. The
routine that Peary used has been modernised in this book. The
version you can apply is even better than the original one. (There
are better training tools today, and knowledge of nutrition and the
other components of recuperation is much greater nowadays.); 3) It
is personalised. You will be taught how to modify the routine so
that it suits you perfectly. When applied properly, this may be the
#1 muscle-building routine for drug-free, genetically typical
body-builders. And because this legendary routine does not require
long or overly frequent workouts, it is suitable even for busy
people. But be ready for training concepts that are radically
different to what you are used to. And set aside any doubts you may
have. Simply apply Course #1 as it is explained in this book, and
experience the muscle-building magic yourself. Then you will really
be a believer. This book provides the most complete, up-to-date and
useful guidance ever published on this fabulous body-building
routine. It includes the background and history of the routine, the
modernisation of it, the essential foundation phase, the special
training schedules, how to train (including exercise technique in
great detail), the components of recuperation (including
nutrition), and two inspiring illustrations of how to put Course #1
into practice (from Peary Rader and Stuart McRobert). If other
instruction has not produced the muscle mass you want, why stick
with it? Instead, apply the routine that is explained in this book
-- it is proven to build lots of muscle mass fast. Why a New BRAWN
Series? The new series complements the best-selling books BRAWN and
BEYOND BRAWN. Building on the philosophy, principles and methods
promoted in those two classic works, the new series presents
premier body-building routines that are immaculately detailed, rich
in new material, thoroughly up-to-date, and proven to be
super-effective. This first book of the new series teaches Course
#1, which was mentioned only very briefly in BRAWN and BEYOND
BRAWN, although not by that particular name.

Provides a guide to the general principles of Scottish law relevant
to construction contracts and the main provisions of the standard
forms of construction contract used in Scotland including: * the
obligations of employers and contractors * certification * payment
* ending a construction contract * remedies * subcontracts *
collateral warranties * insurance * dispute resolution * regulatory
matters The new edition has been substantially updated and expanded
to take account of the latest editions of the Scottish Standard
Building Contracts and recent case law. Specific updates have been
driven by the following changes to legislation and standard
contracts * Local Democracy Economic Development and Construction
Act 2009 and the relative Scheme for Construction Contracts *
Arbitration (Scotland) Act 2010 * Recognising the significant
increase in use of NEC3 standard forms of contract, references to
NEC3 provisions have been introduced throughout the relevant
chapters so that each now covers the common law, the SBCC
provisions and the NEC3 provisions. It also features new chapters
on: litigation; competition; the Bribery Act 2010; and guarantees
and bonds. From reviews of previous editions: * very approachable
and readable I would particularly recommend this book to non-legal
construction professionals Construction & Engineering Law * an
informative textbook for the practitioner [a] significant
contribution to knowledge Arbitration * a highly competent textbook
which would be of value for industry professionals with no legal
background Construction Law
365 inspirational suggestions for enjoying nature. These 'Random

wildflower on the way to work; or a few hours - like creating a
whole area for wildlife in your garden. Some Random Acts of
Wildness don't take any time at all, but instead are little changes
to your daily routine that will ultimately be better for wildlife,
like buying a reusable coffee cup. The best Random Acts of Wildness
immerse you (if only for a few seconds) in nature, setting your
senses alight. Smelling freshly fallen rain, tasting the sweet
explosion of a fresh blackberry as you pop it in your mouth,
wriggling your toes in the icy waters of a stream, waking up to
bird song. It's not just about seeing, but experiencing the wild in
every way possible. Let this beautifully photographed adventure
guide inspire you and help you to discover your 'wildest' life.

Located in north eastern Spain, Catalonia has long displayed the
attributes of a nation: distinct language and culture, separate
social and political institutions, and a strong collective
identity. At the same time, it is one of Spain's centres of
economic dynamism and innovation. As such, it is an especially
striking instance of what has come to be known as 'minority' or
'internal' nations within a larger political order. Even after the
Franco dictatorship's systematic suppression of Catalan language
and culture, the idea that the Catalan nation needed to have an
independent state of its own remained at the margins of Catalan
politics. Yet, in recent years Catalan independence has become: the
formal objective of Catalonia's nationalist parties; the focus of a
strongly mobilized social movement; and the primary option of as
much as half of Catalonia's electorate. This drive to independence
even led to a failed unilateral declaration of independence. How
can this remarkable transformation best be explained and what does
it portend for the future of Catalonia and Spain? This new edition
seeks to answer these questions. At the same time, the book
analyzes the proposal for an independent Catalan state while also
showing how the Catalan question might be resolved within Spain, by
creating a multinational federation. It also explains why there is
little prospect of either project coming to pass. The book
demonstrates the dangers and contradictions of a state nationalism
that denies the very existence of internal nations, while also
exploring the terms under which such nations can be accommodated
within a larger political order. On this basis, it addresses a
critical challenge to the political institutions of much of Europe
and North America.

Bradley Cailor's weight-loss success story is outstanding,
inspirational, and instructive. And learning about it will help you
immensely. But there's much more to this book than that account.
This book reveals how hundreds of real-life dieters lost weight and
kept it off; and it also explains the science behind the success.
Furthermore, this book thoroughly explains the psychological and
physiological issues that are at the root of many people's weight
problems and weight-loss difficulties. And the book explains how to
deal with those issues. There is much more to successful
weight-loss than discipline and willpower. Learn from real people
who succeeded with weight-loss, and gain the know-how you require
to produce your own success. The book includes all effective but
practical weight-loss knowledge, to provide the definitive model
for how to lose weight and then keep it off. This book is for
everyone who has a weight problem. And it's especially for people
who are tired of failure from fad diets, restrictive diets,
gimmicky pills, and exercise gadgets. When you apply what this book
teaches, you will lose weight and then keep it off. And then, not
only will you transform your appearance, you will also transform
your health, which will add life to your years, and probably add
years to your life.
