It's a Wonderful Death , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 514min
Seventeen-year-old RJ always gets what she wants. So when her soul is accidentally collected by a distracted Grim Reaper, somebody in the afterlife better figure out a way to send her back from the dead, or heads will roll. But in her quest for mortality, she becomes a pawn in a power struggle between an overzealous archangel and Death Himself. The tribunal presents her with two options: She can remain in the lobby where souls wait to be processed until her original lifeline expires, or she can replay three moments in her life in an effort to make choices that will result in a future deemed worthy of being saved. It sounds like a no-brainer. She'll take a walk down memory lane. How hard can changing her future be? But with each changing moment, RJ's life begins to unravel, until this self-proclaimed queen bee is a social pariah. She begins to wonder if walking among the living is worth it if she has to spend the next 60 years as an outcast. Too quickly RJ finds herself back in limbo, her time on Earth once again up for debate. RJ is a snarky, unapologetic, almost irredeemable, very real girl. Her story is funny and moving, and teens will easily connect with her plight. Prepare to meet the Grim Reaper, who's cuter than you'd expect; Hawaiian shirt-wearing Death Himself; Saint Peter (who likes to play cornhole); and Al, the handler for the three-headed hound that guards the gates of hell. This cast of characters accompanies RJ through her time in the afterlife and will do their best to gently shove her in the right direction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cassandra Morris.

Ilium , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1781min
From the towering heights of Olympos Mons on Mars, the mighty Zeus and his immortal family of gods, goddesses, and demigods look down upon a momentous battle, observing - and often influencing - the legendary exploits of Paris, Achilles, Hector, Odysseus, and the clashing armies of Greece and Troy. Thomas Hockenberry, former twenty-first-century professor and Iliad scholar, watches as well. It is Hockenberry's duty to observe and report on the Trojan War's progress to the so-called deities who saw fit to return him from the dead. But the muse he serves has a new assignment for the wary scholic, one dictated by Aphrodite herself. With the help of fortieth-century technology, Hockenberry is to infiltrate Olympos, spy on its divine inhabitants ... and ultimately destroy Aphrodite's sister and rival, the goddess Pallas Athena. On an Earth profoundly changed since the departure of the Post-Humans centuries earlier, the great events on the bloody plains of Ilium serve as mere entertainment. Its scenes of unrivaled heroics and unequaled carnage add excitement to human lives devoid of courage, strife, labor, and purpose. But this eloi-like existence is not enough for Harman, a man in the last year of his last Twenty. That rarest of post-postmodern men - an "adventurer" - he intends to explore far beyond the boundaries of his world before his allotted time expires, in search of a lost past, a devastating truth, and an escape from his own inevitable "final fax." Meanwhile, from the radiation-swept reaches of Jovian space, four sentient machines race to investigate - and, perhaps, terminate - the potentially catastrophic emissions of unexplained quantum-flux emanating from a mountaintop miles above the terraformed surface of Mars. ungekürzt.

First Son: The Biography of Richard M. Daley , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 744min
Mayor Richard M. Daley dropped the bomb at a routine news conference at City Hall on Tuesday. With no prelude or fanfare, Mr. Daley announced that he would not seek re-election when his term expires next year. 'Simply put, it's time,' he said. New York Times, September 7, 2010 With those four words, an era ended. After twenty-two years, the longest-serving and most powerful mayor in the history of Chicago - and, arguably, America-stepped down, leaving behind a city that was utterly transformed, and a complicated legacy we are only beginning to evaluate. In First Son, Keith Koeneman chronicles the sometimes Shakespearean, sometimes Machiavellian life of an American political legend. Making deft use of unprecedented access to key players in the Daley administration, as well as Chicago's business and cultural leaders, Koeneman draws on more than one hundred interviews to tell an up-close, insider story of political triumph and personal evolution. With Koeneman as our guide, we follow young Daley from his beginnings as an average Bridgeport kid thought to lack his father's talent and charisma to his unlikely transformation into an iron-fisted leader. Daley not only escaped the giant shadow of his father but also transformed Chicago from a gritty, post-industrial Midwestern capital into a beautiful, sophisticated global city widely recognized as a model for innovative metropolises throughout the world. But in spite of his many accomplishments, Richard M. Daley's record is far from flawless. First Son sets the dramatic improvement of certain parts of the city against the persistent realities of crime, financial stress, failing public housing, and dysfunctional schools. And it reveals that while in many ways Daley broke with the machine politics of his father, he continued to reward loyalty with favors, use the resources of city government to overwhelm opponents, and tolerate political corruption. A nuanced portrait of a co ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Coon. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/007151/bk_acx0_007151_sample.mp3.

Options Trading Crash Course: Quick Start Guide in Option, Strategies and Techniques, How to Create Passive Income. Tips & Tricks. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 218min
Do you want to know what are options? Are you interested to know what is options trading? Do you want to learn using simplified teaching methods in an easy step-by-step format? If you want to make profit in options, then keep listening...Options trading is one of the best choices when one decides to invest in securities. An option is a contract which allows the investors to sell or buy an instrument like ETF, security, or even index at a price which is decided from earlier over a certain span of time. The buying and selling options can be done in the options market where the trading of the contracts is done based on the securities. When one buys an option that allows buying shares at a later time it is known as a “call option.” Buying an option which allows selling shares at a later time is known as a “put option.”Options are quite different from the stocks as they do not signify any kind of ownership of the company. The futures also use contracts in the same way as the options, but the options do not carry high risks. This is because one can withdraw from an options contract at any point of time. The price of the option or the premium paid for it is nothing but the percentage of the security or the underlying security.When an investor decides to sell or buy the options, he has the right to exercise that option any time till its expiry. Just buying or selling the option does not mean that one has to actually exercise it at the buying or the selling point. This is the reason why options are considered as the derivative securities as their price is derived from something else. Thus, options are less risky than stocks.A call option gives the right to the investors to buy a certain number of shares of a certain commodity or security at a certain price over a certain period of time. The fee paid to buy the call option is known as the premium. The call options are also like insurance, wherein one pays for a contract that expires at a ungekürzt. Language: English.
