THE DOTS WILL NOT BE JOINED is both a rich, sentimental memoir and a racy 'Compendium of Ideas'. It's about sport (mainly football and cricket) but it carries wise, sometimes cheeky diversions - snapshots into what makes us and what liberates us. The *stories* and the challenges range. Rick Walton is a coach and a writer with a fearless, impossibly positive streak coursing through him. He recounts scary or electrifying visits to football and those wonderfully daft adventures so many of us have had in village teams. Combs forgotten in boots; lacerating North Sea gales; chunks of orange and blissfully sweet tea; 'team talks'. But we also have Proper Coaching - notions around how to approach and nourish and support players. There is the contention, too, that sport really can be 'good'; that how we play can matter. All this in a matrix of arty or philosophical hunches which unashamedly (but also humbly) celebrate the raw, The Human, the ridiculous, the unknowable, the 'unweighted'. Walton's book is a one-off, daring to chase a zillion narratives so as to capture something actually rather profound about how activity works, in a world where the 'Social' and Corporate kaleidoscopes are blurring, bending and maybe even crushing our will.

Silicon Valley visionary John Chambers shares the lessons that transformed a dyslexic kid from West Virginia into one of the world's best business leaders and turned a simple router company into a global tech titan. When Chambers joined Cisco in 1991, it was a company with 400 employees, a single product, and about $70 million in revenue. When he stepped down as CEO in 2015, he left a $47 billion tech giant that was the backbone of the internet and a leader in areas from cybersecurity to data center convergence. Along the way, he had acquired 180 companies and turned more than 10,000 employees into millionaires. Widely recognized as an innovator, an industry leader, and one of the world's best CEOs, Chambers has outlasted and outmaneuvered practically every rival that ever tried to take Cisco on--Nortel, Lucent, Alcatel, IBM, Dell, and Hewlett-Packard, to name a few. Now Chambers is sharing his unique strategies for winning in a digital world. From his early lessons and struggles with dyslexia in West Virginia to his bold bets and battles with some of the biggest names in tech, Chambers gives readers a playbook on how to act before the market shifts, tap customers for strategy, partner for growth, build teams, and disrupt themselves. He also adapted those lessons to transform government, helping global leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to create new models for growth. As CEO of JC2 Ventures, he's now investing in a new generation of game-changing startups by helping founders become great leaders and scale their companies. Connecting the Dots is destined to become a business classic, providing hard-won insights and critical tools to thrive during the accelerating disruption of the digital age.

I have written a story about glue sniffing and out of body experiences that occurred during the early seventies. Back then I was a teenager who had a difficult upbringing, with many factors causing a chaotic life. Through all of this I learned the potentials of a stimulant, combined with mind control. It was my first use of any kind of drug, and unintentionally it took me on a journey of discovery. There are two main abilities one has to overcome in order to experience OBEs. The first is telepathic speech construction, and application. The ability to communicate is immensely important and allows you to utilise the learning process. The second is manipulation of the visual environment. When this has been achieved I attained a separation of the soul from the body, to a state I call the third level. In this plane I had a guide called Gong; he is of alien origin and my mentor. My time in the third phase lasted around one year in which I experienced technologies, far in advance of mankind. To summarise part of the outstanding events, I have seen thirteen UFO, s on three different occasions, not on drugs, witnessed scenes from my own future, in detail. I was permitted to see the left hand side of my soul. I have been in the same room as an alien. Events of this nature, although exceptional are not the main point of the story. I was asked to write of my experiences in the spirit plain. At the time my education was close to semi literacy, and through a combination of learning and patience feel it is the right time to fill an agreement.
