    Top Reasons Why You Should Never Invest in Buying a Traditional Home nor Renovating the Real Estate Property and Why Manufactured Homes Are by Far the Most Affordable and Best Type of Housing Option , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 112min
    This essay sheds light on the top reasons why you should never invest in buying a traditional home nor renovating a real estate property and also elucidates why manufactured homes are the most affordable and best type of housing option for prospective home buyers. Moreover, the ample advantages and disadvantages appertaining to owning a manufactured home are demystified and how you can earn substantial money so that you can afford to a buy a post-1976 mobile home is delineated in this essay.In spite of its touted merits, there are ample reasons as to why you should never invest in buying a traditional home nor renovating the real estate property. The grave disadvantages associated with owning a traditional home are multitudinous and usher in insurmountable, calamitous problems into the homeowner’s life. First and foremost, traditional homes are eminently overpriced liabilities that erode and undermine your wealth, earnings potential, and net worth since they are cost-prohibitive to maintain and retain. In other words, the fact of the matter is that the traditional home owns the homeowner rather than the homeowner owning the real estate property. This is because, the homeowner has to pay an exorbitant amount in property taxes, monthly homeowner’s association fees, monthly homeowner insurance premiums, monthly utility costs, and unexpected repair maintenance costs in addition to making their lofty monthly mortgage payments just to temporary retain their traditional home that they may preordained to loss if it is foreclosed on them.Much to the dismay of the homeowner who bought a traditional home as a real estate investment, he will succumb to being ineffably burdened with an unprecedented amount of debt for decades long. This bleak outcome that has befallen upon the homeowner is due to him having undergone an exorbitant amount of debt financing in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to acquire the traditional home he presently resides in.

    Skeptics and Believers: Religious Debate in the Western Intellectual Tradition, Hörbuch, Digital, 1112min
    Beginning in the 16th century, the Protestant Reformation and the Scientific Revolution began to erode the position of authority. As a result, new philosophers began constructing a universal rationality independent of faith. This schism fundamentally changed the course of Western civilization, and it has had consequences that remain with us to this day. This 36-lecture journey will help you understand exactly what the debate has been and will continue to be about. By gaining a richer understanding of the debate's key aspects - including the nature of the conflict, the meaning of the arguments, and what is at stake both philosophically and theologically - you can add significantly to the level of sophistication you already bring to one of today's most far-reaching issues and increase your understanding of both our past and the direction of our future. These lectures examine more than three centuries of debate in the Western world about the nature of religious faith and its compatibility with reason. Drawing on some of Western civilization's greatest theological and philosophical minds, Professor Roberts even-handedly follows and analyzes the arguments of a broad range of skeptics and believers, including the likes of Thomas Aquinas, Karl Marx, Sigmund Freud, Daniel Dennett, Martin Luther, Immanuel Kant, Soren Kierkegaard, and many others.In addition, these lectures maintain the sense of a true conversation across time, so that you'll never lose the thread of how one idea relates to another as he weaves a vast amount of material into a coherent whole that amounts to far more than the sum of its parts. The result is one of the most intellectually satisfying plunges into philosophical and theological thought you will ever take.

    The Call to Serve , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 356min
    “Helen, do you think I’ll ever get married?” Joan asked abruptly. A very troubling thought in 1943. The Call to Serve celebrates the innocence that transcends the decades and the beauty of true love in this story of friendship between Annie, Joan, Bernice, Helen, and their men. The story is set in fictitious Abbotsville, New Jersey, in the autumn of 1943. Caught between the desire to marry and have families and the requirement to stay patient, even vigilant, during the grim World War II era, these four Catholic heroines find comfort in the humor and solace of camaraderie. Annie, Joan, and Bernice, all young ladies in their 20s, set out to find the loves of their lives. Annie is a fast-paced North Jersey gal whose Italian heritage is rich in the love and creation of food, much to the joy of her friends. Joan, comfortably brought up in South Jersey, is a little naïve about the ways of the world, but not in what truly counts. Bernice, the youngest of the group, and the least affluent, is wise-cracking but always the first to tune in to a situation. Beloved and a guiding force to them all is Helen, a 50-something homemaker with her own experiences of war. When Annie’s fiancé is called up, Joan thinks there is nothing sadder in the world - that is, until she experiences her own love trauma. She falls instantly for a handsome man during a chance meeting. But she then bears the frustration of not knowing which girl he prefers, her or the bubbly redhead that won’t go away. Both girls are distracted by Bernice’s sudden and mysterious behavior, as she begins to disappear regularly into nearby Philadelphia for unknown reasons. Annie’s heart begins to break when her fiancé’s letters stop coming. Although Helen assures her this happens often when soldiers are moved around, her stable support begins to erode when, as the weeks tick by, she hears nothing from her own husband. Will their shared love of God and family be enough to keep them together an ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cece Whittaker.

    12: The Inside Story of Tom Brady's Fight for Redemption , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 488min
    The incredible story of Tom Brady and the Patriots' tumultuous 2016 season: from national disgrace to the greatest Super Bowl comeback of all time. In January 2015, rumors circulated that the New England Patriots - a team long suspected of abiding by the "if you ain't cheating you ain't trying" philosophy - had used under-inflated footballs in their playoff victory against the Indianapolis Colts. As evidence began to build, however, a full on NFL investigation was launched, exploding an unsubstantiated rumor into an intense scandal that would lead news coverage for weeks. As shockwaves rippled throughout the NFL system, the very legitimacy of one of the league's most popular teams and their star quarterback began to erode, even as the Patriots and Brady went on to win that year's Super Bowl. But as the celebrations gave way to the offseason, the investigation only intensified, reopening old wounds between the Patriots' powerful owner, Robert Kraft, and the NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell. Brady was devastated and seemingly more nervous in front of a judge than on a game-winning drive. When the dust settled, Brady would be able to play again - but only after watching the first four games of the 2016 season from his couch. The pressure couldn't have been more intense: Brady's legacy was at stake. If he failed to return to his usual self, all the critics and even the history books would have to put a giant asterisk next to his name, signifying one thing: he was a cheater.12 is the propulsive story of this gritty comeback. It's a drama that unfolds in the locker room, the court room, and under the brightest lights in all of sports - the Super Bowl. Now for the first time, listeners will have an exclusive look into Tom Brady's experience and the NFL's shocking strangle-hold on their players. With unprecedented access to Brady himself, his teammates, and his lawyers, we will see just how a football legend went up against one ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Greg Baglia.

    Zero Belly Diet: Lose Up to 16 lbs. in 14 Days! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 174min
    Zero Belly Diet is the revolutionary new plan to turn off your fat genes and help keep you lean for life! Nutrition expert David Zinczenko - the New York Times best-selling author of the Abs Diet series, Eat This, Not That! series, and Eat It to Beat It! - has spent his entire career learning about belly fat - where it comes from and what it does to us. And what he knows is this: There is no greater threat to you and your family - to your health, your happiness, even your financial future. Yes, you can: change your destiny. Overcome your fat genes. Strip away belly fat and finally attain the lean, strong, healthy body you’ve always wanted. With Zero Belly Diet, David Zinczenko reveals explosive new research that explains the mystery of why some of us stay thin, and why some can't lose weight no matter how hard we try. He explains how some foods turn our fat genes on - causing seemingly irreversible weight gain - and uncovers the nine essential power foods that act directly on those switches, turning them to "off" and allowing for easy, rapid, and sustainable weight loss. And he shows how these foods help heal your digestive system, keeping those gene switches turned off and setting you up for a lifetime of leanness. Other diets can help you lose weight, but only the Zero Belly diet attacks fat on a genetic level, placing a bull's-eye on the fat cells that matter most: visceral fat, the type of fat ensconced in your belly. These fat cells act like an invading army, increasing inflammation and putting you at risk for diabetes, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, heart disease, and cancer. Visceral fat can also can alter your hormone levels, erode muscle tissue, increase your chances of depression, and destroy your sex drive. But you can turn the odds in your favor.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Porter´s (1980) Generic Strategies, Performance and Risk
    Porter s (1980) book Competitive Strategy has received a great deal of attention in the strategic management literature. Here Porter claims that competitive strategy is the search for a favorable competitive position in the industry, which can erode or improve, depending on a firm s choice of strategy. He derived a conceptual typology of three generic strategies that has already become a classic among scholars. They are cost leadership, differentiation and focus strategies. Just recently Michael Raynor (2007) challenged Porter s widely accepted typology, by including another dimension in the discussion that previously did not find consideration: risk. He claims that firms that execute pure strategies are much more exposed to corporate risk than firms that execute hybrid strategies. Two arguments support his view. First Porter s and other studies include what is called a "survivor bias", meaning that firms that went bankrupt during the investigation (with a pure strategy) do not play a role in the analysis. Second firms that have hybrid strategies are much more flexible when market preferences shift and are therefore less exposed to strategic uncertainty. Raynor s work is a valuable extension to the strategic management literature that leads to an assessment of strategic choice on at least two dimensions: profitability and risk. The contribution of the study is then twofold. First Porter s typology is tested with German data. Secondly Raynor s argument is tested, whether the very same firms that are more successful have a higher risk of running into corporate bankruptcy. In order to have the necessary information, the first section of the study reviews the literature. Here the generic strategies are explained and the most important studies on the topic are summarized in a table. Then the "Strategy Paradox" is presented that describes Raynor s argumentation for an increase in risk with pure strategies. Two conflicting theories are mentioned that deal with the question whether risk and return is positively or negatively related. In between this first part, two hypotheses are given that are tested with data from the Centre of European Economic Research in Mannheim (ZEW). Section 3 presents the dataset, the variables and the methodology. The results are analyzed in section 4 and the differences in performance and risk are compared among the strategic groups. In section 5 the most important results are discussed and potential explanations are given that lead to suggestions for further research. Additionally implications for managers are proposed and the limitations of the study are mentioned. The paper ends with a conclusion and a personal view on the discussion.
