    The Anglo-Zulu War: The History and Legacy of the British Empire’s Conflict with the Zulu Kingdom in South Africa , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 112min
    “He is Shaka the unshakeable, Thunderer-while-sitting, son of Menzi He is the bird that preys on other birds, The battle-axe that excels over other battle-axes in sharpness, He is the long-strided pursuer, son of Ndaba, Who pursued the sun and the moon. He is the great hubbub like the rocks of Nkandla Where elephants take shelter When the heavens frown...” (A Zulu song) The modern history of Africa was, until very recently, written on behalf of the indigenous races by the white man, who had forcefully entered the continent during a particularly hubristic and dynamic phase of European history.In 1884, Prince Otto von Bismarck, the German chancellor, brought the plenipotentiaries of all major powers of Europe together to deal with Africa's colonization in such a manner as to avoid provocation of war. This event - known as the Berlin Conference of 1884-1885 - galvanized a phenomenon that came to be known as the Scramble for Africa.The conference established two fundamental rules for European seizure of Africa. The first of these was that no recognition of annexation would granted without evidence of a practical occupation, and the second, that a practical occupation would be deemed unlawful without a formal appeal for protection made on behalf of a territory by its leader, a plea that must be committed to paper in the form of a legal treaty. Thus began a rush, spearheaded mainly by European commercial interests in the form of chartered companies, to penetrate the African interior and woo its leadership with guns, trinkets, and alcohol. Having thus obtained their marks or seals upon spurious treaties, they began establishing boundaries of future European African colonies.The ease with which this was achieved was due to the fact that, at that point, traditional African leadership was disunited, and the people had just staggered back from centuries of concussion inflicted by the ungekürzt.

    Walter's Leadership Guide - Why Good Leadership Starts with Self-Leadership: Training and Consulting, Volume 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min
    Walter’s Leadership Guide - Why Good Leadership Starts with Self-Leadership (Training and Consulting, Volume 2) - 2017 revised, updated, and reformatted edition - presents a novel approach to understanding and training the new servant leadership approach for top and middle management audiences. This guide to servant leadership addresses college students who are looking for a way to prepare for their upcoming exposure to the corporate environment. Many of the ideas the author comes up with in this guide are non-standard and the result of his own creative thinking. The author's approach is original in the sense that he has enriched and transformed the traditional leadership paradigm through basic elements of timeless wisdom, taken from Zen and the I Ching, thereby expanding the paradigm beyond the borders of the strictly Western corporate culture, adapting it for international and particularly Asian audiences.This audiobook doesn’t offer quick fixes for developing leadership skills. It presents an approach to raise the awareness level of the whole of the person. The author contends that leaders must not only develop values like integrity and accountability but also expand their critical thinking ability, which is one quality of several for becoming accountable as a leader in the corporate or political world.To be critical means to question tradition and authority in the first place; it means to look for realizing our personal style and cognitive preferences and to activate our heart, which, according to newest "HeartMath®" research, is essentially contributing to the sharpness of our cognitive apparatus and thus a factor for right decision-making. The main focus of the guide is upon developing the broad-mindedness and the human qualities that make a servant leader being followed not because of obedience but because of the willingness to share with him a personal growth experience that ultimately will be to the benefit of the organization as ungekürzt.

    V. E. Schwab's New York Times bestseller Vicious is a masterful tale of ambition, jealousy, desire, and superpowers.Victor and Eli started out as college roommates-brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find-aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge-but who will be left alive at the end? In Vicious, V. E. Schwab brings to life a gritty comic-book-style world in vivid prose: a world where gaining superpowers doesn't automatically lead to heroism, and a time when allegiances are called into question."A dynamic and original twist on what it means to be a hero and a villain.

The brain functions are the same as the functions of the computer. The brain at the same time, is made up of two systems. They are one being system that produces spontaneous decisions that guide one on the way to live. The second system is system 2 which deals with the way we think. It focuses more on the sound mind before making a decision.The brain is a complex organ. It controls every task that takes part in the body.
