Understanding consumers and the way they behave is crucial to the success of any business. In these times of economic uncertainty and reduced customer expenditure, ensuring that the consumer's wants and needs are met, forms part of the strategic planning of all organisations - big or small. Consumers, by means of their buying behaviour, exert influence on businesses and compel them to act in certain ways. Understanding consumer behaviour is therefore imperative, as it provides information to businesses on how to plan their marketing activities and sustain themselves as commercially viable and useful entities.

Het jy jou geloof verloor of het dit gegroei en verander? Is daar ander maniere om te dink oor waarheid, God, die Bybel en kerk as die tradisionele manier?

Vandag se mense wil nie in allerhande dogmatiese belydenisskrifte vir antwoorde krap nie en die kerk beïndruk hulle beslis nie. Dikwels stap mense weg van hulle jarelange geloof. Dit is nie ’n klein, maklike besluit nie.

Hierdie boek is nie veronderstel om vol antwoorde te wees nie, dit is ’n gids op jou geloofsreis. Dit wys dat daar ’n ander manier is om te dink oor geloof, God en godsdiens. Dit is ’n uitnodiging om vrae te vra en te twyfel, te stoei en teen God se bors te slaan. Want Hy is daar en Hy bestaan en Hy het jou oneindig lief.

The ancient Greeks trained in the nude in the gymnasium and also competed in the buff in the Olympic Games – they literally had skin in the game. The ancient Greek word for gymnasium – gumnasia – means to train naked. However, the ancient Greek gyms were not just for physical training but also had dedicated spaces for intellectual exercise, for philosophy, teaching and conversation.

To train naked is to show up just as you are – no pretences, no masks, no BS. We train to compete, we practise in order to nail a presentation. We should also be training to become better human beings, to craft meaningful lives, do work that matters, and to thrive in chaos. Pierre du Plessis’s daily reflections, meditations and practices presented in this book are a call to train naked, to practise for the ultimate marathon, and to have skin in the game.

Train Naked is a curated selection of short reflections – prompts to get skin in the game – on building a meaningful life and doing work that matters. Combined with a selection of ancient practices, such as meditation, Pierre’s thoughts and ideas aim to inspire each reader to take charge, to try, to act, to learn and to do.

Providing an overview of urban social movements from a diverse range of empirical and theoretical perspectives, this Handbook includes not only a critical analysis of the transformations that have occurred in the urban landscape recently, but also sheds light on the strategies implemented by social actors in various socio-political and cultural contexts. It focuses on better understanding how and to what extent collective action around urban issues remains relevant in our modern world. Top international scholars introduce the main features of urban movements from countries and cities around the world, including across Africa, Asia, Europe and North and South America, to highlight their diversity as well as the multiple scales through which they are employed. The Handbook first documents the concrete forms of contemporary urban movements, before highlighting new developments in the field, particularly in the face of new forms of communication, and finally examines the specificity of contemporary urban movements in the context of emerging unexpected local and global challenges. With a broad range of case studies and in-depth coverage of key issues, this Handbook is critical reading for urban studies and social movement studies scholars. The practical advice offered throughout also makes this an invigorating read for representatives of international institutions working on urban policies and development, as well as urban activists looking for a more in-depth study of the field.

Taylor Kitsch and Brendan Gleeson star in this comedy drama directed by Don McKellar. The community of the small harbour village of Tickle Head in Newfoundland is in urgent need of employment.

When news reaches the mayor of Tickle Head that there are talks of opening a petrochemical factory in the village, the people set out to do everything they can to make it happen; the only problem is that there is a condition in place that states they must have a resident doctor. When young doctor Paul Lewis (Kitsch) is caught by airport security with cocaine, the mayor of Tickle Head sees an opportunity and tells him that there will be no charges made but he must stay in the village to serve as their doctor for one month. Plans are made to get every member of the community to try their hardest to make him stay.

Hierdie boek handel oor die onderstebo koninkryk van God.

Hierdie koninkryk wat op 'n heel anderster manier werk as wat ons mense werk. Jesus se slagspreuk; die koninkryk van die hemel is hier word getakel in hierdie stuk met 'n spesifieke verwysing na vele van sy gelykenisse en aforismes.

Wanneer ons na Jesus se lering en stories, in die maatskaplike en politiese konteks van sy tyd kyk ontbloot dit 'n heel ander perspektief. 'n Perspektief wat ongemaklik, selfs irriterend, tog steeds lewegewend is. Hierdie koninkryk wat alles op sy kop kom draai het, of eintlik weer regop gedraai het, is waar ons, ons menslikheid herontdek.

Die boek is opgedeel in drie dele, drie areas en aspekte van elke mens se lewe wat Jesus op hulle, kop of weer regop, kom draai het. Ek en God, ek en myself, en ek en my dorp.

Hierdie werk se doel is ook om die ‘Liewe Jesus’ beeld te dekonstrueer, en die radikaliteit van Jesus se boodskap en die koninkryk na vore te bring.
