Agile has the power to transform work--but only if it's implemented the right way.For decades business leaders have been painfully aware of a huge chasm: They aspire to create nimble, flexible enterprises. But their day-to-day reality is silos, sluggish processes, and stalled innovation. Today, agile is hailed as the essential bridge across this chasm, with the potential to transform a company and catapult it to the head of the pack.Not so fast. In this clear-eyed, indispensable book, Bain & Company thought leader Darrell Rigby and his colleagues Sarah Elk and Steve Berez provide a much-needed reality check. They dispel the myths and misconceptions that have accompanied agile's rise to prominence--the idea that it can reshape an organization all at once, for instance, or that it should be used in every function and for all types of work. They illustrate that agile teams can indeed be powerful, making people's jobs more rewarding and turbocharging innovation, but such results are possible only if the method is fully understood and implemented the right way.The key, they argue, is balance. Every organization must optimize and tightly control some of its operations, and at the same time innovate. Agile, done well, enables vigorous innovation without sacrificing the efficiency and reliability essential to traditional operations. The authors break down how agile really works, show what not to do, and explain the crucial importance of scaling agile properly in order to reap its full benefit. They then lay out a road map for leading the transition to a truly agile enterprise.Agile isn't a goal in itself; it's a means to becoming a high-performance operation. Doing Agile Right is a must-have guide for any company trying to make the transition--or trying to sustain high agility.
Three words written in a planner, and with those three words' lives were forever changed and a love forged ..., Lost in Love This is a story of love, and how the cruel hand of deceit and chance can play a role in one's destiny. Imagine having your life completely changed by a chance discovery. You stumble across a picture, or perhaps a letter and the truth is suddenly revealed. It can't be denied, and you must face the fact that your life has been shaped by lies and deceit. This is such a story. Two innocents, Michael Williams, an heir to the Williams Lumber Company, and Caitlin Campbell, a young Scottish lass are the young couple who fall in love in this improbable tale. Separated by an ocean they are brought together by fate only to be separated once again by a web of deceit. And when the truth was finally revealed, Michael and Caitlin were forced to face the reality of just how difficult it would be to return to the life they had before. Against a backdrop of two different yet similar cities, Edinburgh, Scotland and Roseville, Georgia this compelling tale of Michael and Caitlin hopelessly "lost in love" plays out over three decades. What emerges is a moving tale that begs the question, what might have been?
The Adventures of Thunder and Lightning is a collection of comical situations two mischievous young Beefmaster bull calves get themselves into. Each book is a different scenario with a combination of fact and fiction to entertain the reader. The majority of the characters are actual residents of their farm. This is the second book, Thunder and Lightning Go Fishing. How do calves go fishing? you ask. Well, fishing is the art of trying to catch a fish with some type of bait. There are as many types of bait as there are methods of fishing. You don't always catch one. If you did, it would be called catching, not fishing, so it's very easy for a calf to go fishing but nearly impossible for them to actually catch one. This story is about two calves who go fishing, but do they go catching?
This book is a creation of a fun, exciting, and innovative way to teach children some of life's essential and basic fundamental steps of getting their day started. Mr. Muffin, Muffin Topping It to School was written in a way which similarly reflects that of the famous Dr. Suess, setting an example for newer generations using my quirky own style with a play on words that can easily be understood.

It's easy to make a case for right actions. Jesus never got hung up on doctrinal orthodoxy, after all. It's instinctive-or it ought to be-that "they'll know we are Christians by our love."But do right beliefs not matter at all? What if we entertained the possibility that, at least sometimes, we act the way we do precisely because we believe the way we do? What if we acknowledged that some people devote their lives to help- ing others because it's what their mindset, values, and convictions compel them to do-in other words, because of things they believe? What if we dared admit that others sometimes commit unspeakable acts because of things they believe?In Colossians, Paul challenges his readers to love the Lord with their minds: their worldview and their patterns of thought. He guides them away from unhealthy beliefs and attitudes into a fuller appreciation of Jesus Christ as the central, defining feature of the Christian life. Against a religious philosophy that urged the Colossian believers to "graduate" from Jesus to embrace deeper realms of the spirit, Paul lifts up Christ and Christ alone. In these four chapters, he explores the meaning of Christ's coming, his reconciling work on the cross, and the new life he brings through his resurrection. This, Paul says, is the true key to a deeper spiritual life.Get Jesus right, and everything else tends to fall into place.Colossians Annual Bible Study - Teaching Guide The Teaching Guide for the Smyth & Helwys Annual Bible Study on Colossians includes teaching options, suggested worship and sermon outlines, and approaches to leading discussions and group study. The study also includes relevant lesson plans for including children and youth in a congregational study of Colossians.
We currently live in a world where selfishness is at an all-time high. People are about their own business and seldom concerned with the well-being of others. The Bible commands us to "do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others" (Phil. 2:3-4, NASB). Combating the sin of selfishness requires that we learn the art of humility, which restores and grows relationships. Romans 12:10 says, "Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another; not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfast in prayer, distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality."Selfishness to Selflessness is a journey from the bondages of selfishness to being free through selflessness (Christ-likeness). It is my prayer that this book ministers to your spirit, unleashing the gift of humility that resides deep within the heart of every believer.May God richly bless you and all that you hold dear to your heart

It was January 2, 2015, when I received the greatest blessing of my life. I was at the bottom, with no hope, when I finally cried out to God and asked Him to please kill me. That's when I physically heard His voice in my ear, and He told me, "No." It was the greatest "no" I ever heard. I then asked Him to tell me what to do and I will do it. Ever since then, I have been doing the best I can to do just that. Now, I'm no one special, I have no particular talents. I'm just an average guy, but God told me that He would not only restore me but make me better than ever before. Situations are still the same, but He has given me a whole new perspective. He has brought me to a whole new level of existence. Now, I'm doing things I never dreamed possible, like writing this book. I'm not a book writer, but the Lord has given me everything in it. All I had to do is listen and believe. God does not lie. Trust in Him and you, too, will be healed.
This book contains a collection of short stories to be used as a tool for parents and grandparents. These stories are easy-to-read and easy-to-understand with moral meanings to be implemented by the parents in order to inspire the children's perceptions.
Dead or Alive British Horror Films 1980-1989

WE HAVE SUCH SIGHTS TO SHOW YOU With British cinema at its lowest ebb--audience levels dwindling, attacks from censors and authorities, cuts in funding--could this once-proud area of the entertainment business be saved? "Dead or Alive" is the first book-length study of British Horror Cinema of the 1980s, examining and celebrating the diversity of genre movie production in the U.K. during this period of flux. From Pinhead to the American Werewolf, from naked alien space vampires to Kenny Everett, read how the post-Hammer scene ventured to keep the fright flame burning in Thatcher's Britain.Rumor has it that the 1980s rather dismissed doom and gloom in favor of bright primary colors, sculpted hairstyles, MTV, legwarmers, compact discs, and John Hughes. Bear in mind, however, that British television at the outset of the period in question was awash with supernatural and psychological chills, from Hammer House of Horror to Rentaghost, Sapphire & Steel to Tales of the Unexpected. In the music world, every Duran Duran or Spandau Ballet was countered by acts daring to delve into darker territory --Siouxsie and the Banshees' 1981 album Juju was laced with voodoo, specters, and arcane practices; Iron Maiden frequently used classic horror references and created their own monstrous mascot, skeletal super-fan "Eddie," the "Goth" movement made inroads particularly in the North of England, via The Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus, The March Violets and Fields of the Nephilim, and even the top-selling, radio-friendly stars of the day took genre-sprinkled items to the top of the charts (the austere, bleak "Ghost Town" by The Specials, Frankie Goes to Hollywood's controversial and aware nuclear warning "Two Tribes," even Adam and the Ants' smash-hit paean to dandyism "Stand and Deliver)." With unemployment and oppression rife among certain areas of the country and within particular communities, the looming presence of something sinister tainted the official picture being presented by the authorities, of opportunity for all, jam tomorrow, loadsamoney. (Although perhaps American filmmaker Oliver Stone fused it better than anyone, bringing an altogether Faustian/Mephistophelean quality to his 1988 study of stock exchange culture, Wall Street, the "greed is good" ethos of which may just have been the most frightening movie mantra of these divisive times.)So, enjoy a trip back to the 1980s quite unlike any other, an alternate vision of the era. With the classic manufacturers of big-screen British chills, Hammer, Amicus, Tigon and others, lying dormant or completely out of action, a new, diverse, unconnected and decidedly different wave rode in to fill the gap. Not always successfully, sure, but (especially in hindsight) with considerable ambition to bring something fresh and unique to the terror table. This book is for those who prefer the challenge of the Lament Configuration to that of Rubik's Cube.
