Taylor Lautner stars as a daring New York City bike messenger in
this action-packed crime drama. In desperate need of cash to clear
his mounting debts to the Chinese mafia, Cam (Lautner) has a
fateful encounter when he crashes his bike into parkour enthusiast
Nikki (Marie Avgeropoulos). After teaching himself the art of the
sport, Nikki invites the athletic Cam to join her crew that uses
their free running skills to pull off heists set up by their boss
Miller (Adam Rayner). In search of bigger pay-offs, the team
continues to raise the stakes and take on increasingly risky
ventures that attract the unwanted attention of violent criminal
gangs and their dangerous enforcers.
Now, more than ever, your brand is either loved - or it's noise.
In a world defined by digital products and immediate gratification, how can your brand
stand out? When consumers can easily have anything, how can your brand be the one
thing they can't live without?
To rise to this challenge, brands must shape not just what consumers buy, but how
they act, feel and connect. This requires a new perspective, one that goes beyond
business and into the fundamentals of human behaviour.
Branding that Means Business combines the latest business thinking with psychology,
sociology, and anthropology to show that a brand can't serve a business unless it
connects with people.
Equipped with these human-based perspectives, you'll have the tools to create, enhance
and distinguish your brand in new and impactful ways - and make it a must-have in the
minds and lives of your consumers.
‘Espionage, betrayal, terrorism, corruption and murder. All the
ingredients of a Le Carré novel, only it’s real’ Matthew Hall
 On 17 April 1984, as police and anti-Gaddafi demonstrators
gathered in the street outside the Libyan People’s Bureau in
London, they had no way of knowing they were about to become part
of one of the greatest tragedies in British policing history. At
10.17a.m. automatic gunfire rained down on them. WPC Yvonne
Fletcher was hit in the back and later died from her injuries.
Twelve demonstrators were wounded. The gunmen were Libyans, both
concealed behind a first-floor window of the Bureau. Â Two
weeks later, all those present inside the Bureau, including
everyone suspected of involvement in the attack, were deported from
the UK. Men guilty of terrorism and murder were neither arrested
nor prosecuted. Â As Yvonne Fletcher lay dying, her colleague
and close friend PC John Murray cradled her in his arms. Before she
lost consciousness, he promised her he would not rest until those
responsible for her murder had been brought to justice. Â
Thirty-seven years would pass before John was able to fulfil that
promise. Whilst writing John Murray’s story, Matt Johnson
identified UK government duplicity, secret service deals and how a
plan to finally defeat the all-powerful National Union of
Mineworkers would place the government in an invidious position
when pro- and anti-Gaddafi elements brought their fight to the
streets of the UK. He was able to discover why, in 1984, her
killers had been allowed to go free. His extensive research also
revealed how events on 17 April resulted in a 30-year government
campaign to bring the police services of the UK under political
control, a campaign that has driven our police service into the
state of disarray we see today. Â The story behind what
happened outside the Libyan People’s Bureau is complex, shocking
and revealing. Matt Johnson’s compelling account pulls together a
series of seemingly unconnected threads into a coherent whole,
incorporating all the inter-related elements of politics, business,
secret service missions and chance. Â For some, this will be
a very uncomfortable read. For many, it may confirm what they
already suspect, that we, the public, know very little of the
decisions being made by our elected representatives and the actions
taken by official bodies, supposedly in our best interests.

service operation that threatens them all... Aided by new allies,

unseen enemy ... and a shocking fate. Deadly Game is a stunning,
terrifying and eye-opening thriller from one of the most exciting
new names in crime fiction. 'Terse, tense and vivid writing. Matt
Johnson is a brilliant new name in the world of thrillers' Peter
James 'An authentic, magnetic and completely absorbing read' Sir
Ranulph Fiennes 'A book by an ex-cop and -soldier has the potential
to go wrong and fall flat due to it being all about inside
knowledge that is tough to decipher by the public. This book isn't
like that. It is a genuine page-turner, very well written, and just
flows from one scenario to the next. It is clear the author lived
through these times and this is evident in knowledge and
description. Excellent' Ian Patrick
A revelatory guide on how to build, sustain and grow a brand. A
brand is either beloved, or it's noise. We live in a fast-paced
world of immediate gratification where consumers can listen to any
song, watch any movie, or read any article, with the touch of a few
buttons. They are peppered with hyper-personalized targeting for
products that can be ordered seamlessly and arrive within hours.
And if your brand isn't the first to come to mind, they'll click
that button and it'll be delivered by someone else. So how do you
make sure your brand connects with consumers? Branding that Means
Business draws from the authors' experience and business literature
as well as psychology, sociology, and even anthropology to show
readers that while any brand serves the business, the mechanisms
that enable it are all about connecting with people. Readers will
learn how to create, maintain, and operationalize their brand, and
think creatively about how to differentiate their product and most
importantly, make consumers fall in love with it.
Christopher Hitchens was for many years considered one of the
fiercest and most eloquent left-wing polemicists in the world. But
on much of today’s left, he’s remembered as a defector, a
warmonger, and a sellout—a supporter of the wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq who traded his left-wing principles for neoconservatism
after the September 11 attacks. In How Hitchens Can Save the Left,
Matt Johnson argues that this easy narrative gets Hitchens exactly
wrong. Hitchens was a lifelong champion of free inquiry, humanism,
and universal liberal values. He was an internationalist who
believed all people should have the liberty to speak and write
openly, to be free of authoritarian domination, and to escape the
arbitrary constraints of tribe, faith, and nation. He was a figure
of the Enlightenment and a man of the left until the very end, and
his example has never been more important. Over the past several
years, the liberal foundations of democratic societies have been
showing signs of structural decay. On the right, nationalism and
authoritarianism have been revived on both sides of the Atlantic.
On the left, many activists and intellectuals have become obsessed
with a reductive and censorious brand of identity politics, as well
as the conviction that their own liberal democratic societies are
institutionally racist, exploitative, and imperialistic. Across the
democratic world, free speech, individual rights, and other basic
liberal values are losing their power to inspire. Hitchens’s case
for universal Enlightenment principles won’t just help genuine
liberals mount a resistance to the emerging illiberal orthodoxies
on the left and the right. It will also remind us how to think and
speak fearlessly in defense of those principles.
Optimize your talent by removing the obstacles in their path

team-and yourself. Matt and Chris Johnson set the mark on how to
succeed in the future with their energizing message, humorous
stories and their generational differences. As the world speeds-up

concern and organizations are panicking on how to recruit, retain
and attract the best talent for the future. Burnout, low
engagement, and overwhelming stress are jeopardizing organizations'
ability to scale and win. As outdated performance models of the
past crumble under pressure, Matt and Chris show you how to build
and protect your most valuable asset--YOUR PEOPLE. What if you
could beat the clock and expand your capacity by 6 hours per week?
Or 11? Think about the organizational impact if your workforce were
given fresh capacity to perform, lead, and grow. This book offers a
clear, workable solution for organizations functioning in the real
world: by paring it down to three performance pillars they must
have to succeed--focus, energy, and drive. Ever organization sets
initiatives, but many remain unfinished because their capacity to
do so fails before it starts. This framework is different: these
changes bring the type of benefits that cause transformation.
Giving your people what they need makes buy-in irrelevant, and
allows them to perform at their highest potential. Not only can it
work, but it is the only thing that will work over the long term.
By making your organization a great place to work, you retain your
best talent and attract more like it. With dedicated resources,
focus, sustainable effort, and comprehensive strategy, your top
performers will be equipped to drive your organization to the top.

container Adopt a strategy of expanding capacity to exceed your
high-performance goals Deeply personal, but organizational focused.
Capacity is an engaging and even life changing book Capacity is the
next big paradigm shift for the future of training and
development--as we shift to the world of the knowledge worker, it
is not information or talent that wins, it's is whoever has the
largest capacity that will win. Capacity is your secret weapon to
winning the performance war.

Fiennes ____________________ 2001. Age is catching up with Robert
Finlay, a police officer on the Royalty Protection team based in
London. He's looking forward to returning to uniform policing and a
less stressful life with his new family. But fate has other plans.
Finlay's deeply traumatic, carefully concealed past is about to
return to haunt him. A policeman is killed by a bomb blast, and a
second is gunned down in his own driveway. Both of the murdered men
were former Army colleagues from Finlay's own SAS regiment, and in
a series of explosive events, it becomes clear that he is not the

is. And so begins a game of cat and mouse - a wicked game, in which
Finlay is the target, forced to test his long-buried skills in a
fight against a determined and unidentified enemy. Wicked Game is a
taut, action-packed, emotive thriller about a man who might be your
neighbour, a man who is forced to confront his past in order to
face a threat that may wipe out his future, a man who is willing to
do anything to protect the people he loves. But is it too late?
