They are worlds apart: while Emma is picking spring flowers, Kotzman is ice fishing; Emma is wrapping up against the chill winds of an Otago winter, while Kotzman enjoys summer caribou camp. However, as the months pass and the relationship deepens, Emma and Kotzman discover they have much in common.At the millennium, Kotzman/Gary joins Emma to watch the new century dawn on a NZ beach. When Gary returns in the New Year on a sabbatical from teaching, their romance really blossoms.

More Ketchup Than Salsa: Confessions of a Tenerife Barman , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 603min
It was while holding aloft a not altogether pleasant-smelling mackerel that the decision was made. The March rain hammered on the rotting tin roof high above the market stall, where I had spent the last six months pushing out dubious trays of marine life at three for a fiver. After a two-week holiday in Tenerife, Joy and I vowed that a life in fish giblets was not going to be our destiny and a life in the sun, was. A complete lack of catering experience, zero business acumen, and the sum of our vastly wealth barely reaching waist level of a ceramic pig did little to deter our enthusiasm for buying a bar. "Where do we sign?" we replied. And then the whole silly, sunny saga began.... When Joe and his girlfriend Joy decide to trade in their life on a cold Lancashire fish market to run a bar in the Tenerife sunshine, they anticipate a paradise of sea, sand, and siestas. Little did they expect their foreign fantasy to turn out to be about as exotic as Bolton on a wet Monday morning. Amidst a host of eccentric locals, homesickness, and the occasional cockroach infestation, pint-pulling novices Joe and Joy struggle with "Brits abroad" culture and learn that, although the skies might be bluer, the grass is definitely not always greener. A hilarious insight into the wild and wacky characters of an expat community in a familiar holiday destination, More Ketchup Than Salsa is a must-listen for anybody who has ever dreamed about jetting off to sunnier climes, finding a job abroad...or anybody who has even momentarily flirted with the idea of "doing a Shirley Valentine" in these trying economic times. ungekürzt.

How to Meet and Exceed Your Clients Expectations: The Business Essentials Series, Hörbuch, Digital, 39min
The great belief in the 'loyal customer' who will stay with you for years and refer you to others and help out when times get tough and stand by you through thick and thin - is a myth! No client can afford to be so doggedly faithful. They have their costs and issues too. These days it's all about how you can be loyal to them! Once you realize that and stop blaming your customers for your own ups and downs, you'll go a long way towards accessing the right thought patterns that will see you through - in all economic climes. Communicating with them, interacting with their problems, notifying them of changes and events in your business, recognizing their own events, letting them know you're thinking of them - are all significant and important ways in which you instill their regard for you and make them think more than twice before they do business with a competitor. Your insistence on excellence and consistency will reap its own rewards. In this module we examine and evaluate the factors that contribute to the creation of binding customer relations. We look at several ways in which to keep the customers you have whilst attracting new ones to the fold. Some of these ways are obvious and some are hardly ever used - that's why they give you the edge. Care for your customers. Look after them. Bring them into the family - and they will feel the commitment you have to them. Let's face it - their lives are bombarded daily with thousands of ads, commercials, marketers and calls to action. Yours must be the one they look for - or else. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Percy Fawcett and the Lost City of Z: The History of the Explorer's Mysterious Disappearance in Search of El Dorado , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 79min
The heroes of each generation reflect the conditions, priorities, and goals of the era in which they reside. In the United States and throughout Europe, the wilderness explorer enjoyed widespread public adulation long before leading sports figures, rock stars, and astronauts of later decades. The ingenuity of the Industrial Revolution gave way to early manned flight, and other breakthroughs in communication and travel. The British Empire flourished across the globe, incorporating entirely dissimilar cultures into its stylized world view. Within this social canon, the explorer of the Victorian and post-Victorian eras fit perfectly within a nationalistic urge to unveil the secrets of every continent. Even expeditions to both poles became the rage among home-bound vicarious adventurers. Throughout climes featuring thick ice and palm trees alike, the maps of the day featured enormous blank spots where no modern man or woman had ever set foot. Among the largest was, and continues to be, the rain forest of the Amazon, particularly in the vast Mato Grosso region of Brazil. The explorers who stepped forward to cast light on such unknown expanses were often driven by obsessive personalities, and lived in the cracks between hard science and the metaphysical. None were more driven than Colonel Percival (Percy) Harrison Fawcett of the British Army. Fawcett, a veteran of the service, a skilled surveyor, and a tough-minded swashbuckler with a soft spot for psychics and astrologists, captured the public’s fascination with his numerous treks into the untraveled jungles of Brazil, which he called "the last great blank space in the world". The first few were simple map-making expeditions, none of them intending to turn the world of archaeology or anthropology upside down. It was, however, Fawcett’s later expeditions and his final trek in 1925 that piqued the imaginations of the masses who hung on every outlandish discovery of the age. In the end, he drew more at ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/071237/bk_acx0_071237_sample.mp3.

Grow Your Magic: Invigorating Magic Spell Book for Any Aspiring Wicca Practitioner Looking to Enhance Their Knowledge of Wicca Herbal Spells , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 240min
In most nations and in all climes there are those who've relied upon the ability of herbs, trees, plants, and blossoms. Many historical races had their own sacred plant or tree.For example, the pine tree was the sacred tree of the early Celts and the druids placed great store in the ability of mistletoe which grows upon the walnut. Even to this very day, the people of wales phone it prewar, "the tree".From the same way that the early Greeks and Romans venerated the pine tree along with the ash. This was the belief of those ancients that man sprang out of a tree. The Teutonic tribes of northern Europe had a similar belief.The beliefs of those ancients had their source in much the exact same manner as those individuals in Africa and in the orient. Oftentimes they arrived as legends or stories brought home by a Greek or a roman who'd traveled into a distant land. Frequently these stories were altered or altered to fulfill the terms of the new users. Oftentimes the very blossoms or plants or trees have been transplanted to their home for farming.This is true of this rose whose first home is thought to have been Persia in which it was held a sacred blossom of love. Some early roman or Greek viewing this gorgeous blossom, also remarking upon its own odor and understanding of its alleged energy for a talisman of love, possibly brought it back into Greece and Rome in which it had been cultivated and grew in significance as a symbol of love.The Greeks were the first of the ancient Europeans to create the arts, literature, philosophy, and even science into a rather large level. The pages of history are full of the names of Greeks that have been wise beyond their period. Socrates, Plato, Aristophanes, Aristotle are but some of those early sensible guys.The Romans, on the other hand, were very much like the Greeks. Whereas the Greeks were great leaders and philosophers and musicians, the Romans were law givers. What faith, philoso ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nor Sabrina Luethy.
