Big Hard Stick by Sylvia Pierce Pdf

“Pleasure isn’t a dirty word, gorgeous. Not unless you want it to be.” Thanks to an epic playoffs loss and a somewhat regrettable bachelorette party video starring half the team and a can of whipped cream, Buffalo Tempest captain Roscoe LeGrand is on serious PR duty this summer. His assignment? Organize a youth hockey clinic and clean up the team’s tarnished image before the season’s first face-off. But one look at the hot-as-hell hockey mom storming the ice, and Roscoe’s thoughts slide right back into the gutter… Ally Heinz is afraid of everything—with good reason. Three years ago, her husband died in a workplace accident, leaving Ally behind with their only child and a mountain of grief. Now, keeping her child safe is all that matters. Letting the kid play hockey? With all that hard, slippery ice and no onsite medical team? Not happening. If only the sweet, sexy NHL player in charge wasn’t so good at charming the pants off her. Um, literally… Despite Ally’s reservations, it’s not long before her kid’s rocking the rink, and Roscoe’s rocking her world, unlocking pleasures Ally has denied herself for years. But hat tricks in the bedroom will only get him so far. When it comes to winning the hockey mom’s wounded heart, Roscoe’s going to need a lot more than a big, hard stick… BIG HARD STICK is a sexy, steamy, single mom romance and the third book in the Buffalo Tempest hockey romance series. If you like red-hot, dirty-mouthed hockey players, smart and sassy women who aren't afraid to put their men against the boards, and a big, hilarious helping of bromance, then you don't want to miss this lineup!

The Big Stick by Eliot A. Cohen Pdf

"Speak softly and carry a big stick" Theodore Roosevelt famously said in 1901, when the United States was emerging as a great power. It was the right sentiment, perhaps, in an age of imperial rivalry but today many Americans doubt the utility of their global military presence, thinking it outdated, unnecessary or even dangerous. In The Big Stick, Eliot A. Cohen-a scholar and practitioner of international relations-disagrees. He argues that hard power remains essential for American foreign policy. While acknowledging that the US must be careful about why, when, and how it uses force, he insists that its international role is as critical as ever, and armed force is vital to that role. Cohen explains that American leaders must learn to use hard power in new ways and for new circumstances. The rise of a well-armed China, Russia's conquest of Crimea and eastern Ukraine, nuclear threats from North Korea and Iran, and the spread of radical Islamist movements like ISIS are some of the key threats to global peace. If the United States relinquishes its position as a strong but prudent military power, and fails to accept its role as the guardian of a stable world order we run the risk of unleashing disorder, violence and tyranny on a scale not seen since the 1930s. The US is still, as Madeleine Albright once dubbed it, "the indispensable nation."

Strategy Beyond the Hockey Stick by Chris Bradley,Martin Hirt,Sven Smit Pdf

Beat the odds with a bold strategy from McKinsey & Company "Every once in a while, a genuinely fresh approach to business strategy appears" —legendary business professor Richard Rumelt, UCLA McKinsey & Company's newest, most definitive, and most irreverent book on strategy—which thousands of executives are already using—is a must-read for all C-suite executives looking to create winning corporate strategies. Strategy Beyond the Hockey Stick is spearheading an empirical revolution in the field of strategy. Based on an extensive analysis of the key factors that drove the long-term performance of thousands of global companies, the book offers a ground-breaking formula that enables you to objectively assess your strategy's real odds of future success. "This book is fundamental. The principles laid out here, with compelling data, are a great way around the social pitfalls in strategy development." —Frans Van Houten, CEO, Royal Philips N.V. The authors have discovered that over a 10-year period, just 1 in 12 companies manage to jump from the middle tier of corporate performance—where 60% of companies reside, making very little economic profit—to the top quintile where 90% of global economic profit is made. This movement does not happen by magic—it depends on your company's current position, the trends it faces, and the big moves you make to give it the strongest chance of vaulting over the competition. This is not another strategy framework. Rather, Strategy Beyond the Hockey Stick shows, through empirical analysis and the experiences of dozens of companies that have successfully made multiple big moves, that to dramatically improve performance, you have to overcome incrementalism and corporate inertia. "A different kind of book—I couldn't put it down. Inspiring new insights on the facts of what it takes to move a company's performance, combined with practical advice on how to deal with real-life dynamics in management teams." —Jane Fraser, CEO, Citigroup Latin America

Ilsa by Paul Williamson Pdf

Ilsa is a passionate woman. Her life is a story of adventure, bravery, compassion, learning, leadership, triumph, and loss. She is a soul on a journey, learning many lessons as well as she can, living in an ancient Celtic world. The society where she lives is ruled by a spiritual government that espouses strong green values and respect for Mother Earth in all its forms; it is a place where people strive for peace and harmony in their lives. It is a very different world from the modern, high tech, and materialistic culture in which we inhabit today. However, even though this story is set in the more primitive past, there are many values in the lifestyle Ilsa and her friends live which could be applicable to our life today and could help us to move forward to a better future. All is not well in the land. There are threats of war and invasion, and Ilsa is confronted with personal struggles with some of those closest to her. Ilsa would wish to make everything right with everyone she meets, and she tries her utmost to do this. But sometimes, even the strongest and most determined souls meet limits to what they are able to do, and the lesson for her is about acceptance and letting go. However, Ilsa is not one to surrender, and her own fierce nature leads her on when, for others, all would seem lost. It is with this passion that she finally finds peace in this moving tale.

Carry a Big Stick by Tim Ferguson Pdf

A funny, poignant and inspirational story of widely acclaimed comedian, writer and producer, Tim Ferguson. Tim Ferguson was a star of the international comedy circuit. Along with Paul McDermott and Richard Fidler he was part of the edgy, provocative and very funny Doug Anthony Allstars (DAAS). In 1994 they were at the height of their powers, performing in a season at the Criterion Theatre on Piccadilly Circus. The three mates, who began busking on the streets of Canberra a decade earlier, had achieved their ambition to become the self-styled rock stars of comedy. Then, all of a sudden, Tim woke up one morning and his whole left side wouldn't work. He'd had a lurking suspicion that something was wrong and after more episodes he went to a doctor thinking he'd be told to change his diet and get more sleep. It wasn't so simple. An eventual diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS) meant an end to the frenetic, high-energy life he was living. Carry a Big Stick is a chance for Tim to tell his story. He wants to make people laugh but also give inspiration to all the people doing it hard. A lot of people keep MS to themselves because it's invisible. In Tim's case, he has the stick. 'It's such a visible sign that something's happened; it's just easier if people know.' Carry a Big Stick meanders through Tim's life, and explains how the boy who went to nine schools in 13 years got used to saying, 'Hi, I'm the new kid'. It will detail his ambitions to become an actor and how the Doug Anthony Allstars were born and went on to become what Rolling Stone called 'The 3 amigos from hell'. Diagnosis changed a lot of things but Tim's quick wit and sense of humour weren't affected. This inspiring memoir shows us that you can laugh in the face of adversity.

The wonder stick by Stanton A. Coblentz Pdf

Yet birds, wolves, and hyenas were not the only inhabitants of those houseless solitudes. Down by the brink of the river, where the waters had widened for a space to a smooth-flowing glossy expanse, a curious creature was threshing its way among the dense reeds and bushes. At the first glance one might have mistaken it for some monstrous beast, a cousin of the orang-utan or the gorilla; but a second glimpse would have shown one that it belonged to a more advanced race...FROM THE BOOKS.

Stick McLaughlin by CF Frizzell Pdf

Times are tough for sixteen-year-old Stick McLaughlin, running from a trumped up arson charge and hiding among hobos in 1918 Boston. Denied the companionship and support of lifelong soul mate Ellie, Stick edges her way through prison as Mac,î only to be thrust alone and wide-eyed into the very definitely Roaring Twenties.

Confrontations with bootleggers and a particularly enthralling flapper go a long way toward molding a strong, confident, clever Mac,î who hits the streets with a gang of her own, determined to claim the good life she deserves by beating the corrupt system and Boston's ethnic mobs at their own game. Little does she know that the lost love she's mourned for years is closer than she thinks. But have time and circumstance conspired against her once and for all?

What could possibly go wrong? Gunnery Sergeant John Doe is frustrated. He didn't join the Space Corps to be shuttled-around in a ship. He joined to fight. The only real action he's seen so far have been a few small skirmishes. Bad guys died. The good guys won. Just a typical day. For years he's been itching for a big fight. Something he can use to impress his junior Space Marines. Something that'll help him pick-up chicks. Something that might put him in some real danger. He gets excited just thinking about the possibilities. He's hoping this tour aboard his ship, The Big Stick, will be different. After defeating a long-time enemy, the Space Federation decided another war was just what the people needed. One was intentional. Two were not. Either way, Gunny was excited. Yet there he was, stuck on a ship performing patrols in a quiet area of space, and bored almost to tears. Until, that is, the area became anything but quiet. Now Gunny and the rest of the ship's crew have to fight for their lives against an enemy none of them expected to see.
