    Mount Rushmore: The History and Legacy of America's Most Unique Monument , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min
    America loves the representation of its heroes to be not just larger than life but stupendously, awesomely bigger than anything else. If blue whales built statues to each other they'd be smaller than these. (Simon Hoggart) In the 1920s plans were made to carve the figures of America's greatest presidents into Mount Rushmore, the tallest spot in the Black Hills of the Dakotas, and by 1939 the faces of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt had been carved into the rock. With that, one of America's greatest national monuments was born. The four men were certainly worthy of being immortalized in granite, and Mount Rushmore poignantly symbolizes the legacies and legends of the four presidents (which often overshadow the actual men themselves). Every American is taught a pristine narrative of the life and legacy of George Washington and can easily recite the highlights and myths of his life. Thomas Jefferson was instrumental in authoring the Declaration of Independence, laying out the ideological groundwork of the notion of states' rights, leading one of the first political parties, and overseeing the expansion of the United States during his presidency. Schoolchildren can recite the life story of Lincoln, the Westerner who educated himself and became a self-made man, rising from lawyer to leader of the new Republican Party before becoming the 16th president of the United States and saving the Union. And at the turn of the 20th century, Theodore Roosevelt came to be recognized as the quintessential American, remembered for being a president, an explorer, a hunter, an author, a soldier, a president, and a safari adventurer, all of which combine into one unique reputation. ungekürzt.

    Das Vermächtnis des geheimen Buches (DVD)
    Es hätte so ruhig und gemütlich sein können für Benjamin Franklin Gates (NICOLAS CAGE): Der Schatz der Tempelritter ist erobert und auch die schöne Abigail Chase (DIANE KRUGER). Doch dann taucht plötzlich eine Seite des Tagebuchs von John Wilkes Booth auf, dem Mörder von US-Präsident Abraham Lincoln. Und laut diesem Schriftstück war Gates Ur-Ur-Großvater ein Mitverschwörer des Attentats. Prompt macht sich der Abenteurer auf, um seinen Vorfahren von dem ungeheuerlichen Vorwurf reinzuwaschen, und verfolgt eine Kette von Indizien rund um den Globus von Washington nach Paris, vom Mount Rushmore über den Buckingham Palace in legendäre Heiligtümer. Sein Gegenspieler ist ein zwielichtiger Antiquitätenhändler (ED HARRIS). Aber zur Seite stehen ihm nicht nur Abigail (DIANE KRUGER) und sein bester Freund Riley Poole (JUSTIN BARTHA), sondern auch Vater (JON VOIGHT) und Mutter Gates (HELEN MIRREN). Und bald wird klar, dass es hier nicht nur um alte Manuskripte geht, sondern um einen neuen legendären Schatz, der alles Bekannte in den Schatten stellt.Darsteller:Diane Kruger, Jon Voight, Nicolas Cage, Bruce Greenwood, Ed Harris, Helen Mirren, Justin Bartha, Michael Maize, Timothy V. Murphy, Ty Burrell

    Building Good Teammates: The Story of My Mount Rushmore, a Coaching Epiphany, and That Nun , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 369min
    Participation leagues, where every kid gets a trophy, lead to disillusionment. Not everyone wins in the real world. Yet, coaching kids to be ultra-competitive guarantees no greater probability of players becoming successful, well-adjusted members of society when their playing days have ended. Building Good Teammates is the story of how a “Mary Poppins-ish” nun inspires Lance Loya to discover an alternative approach to coaching and to explore how his coaching methods were influenced by his unusual childhood and his personal Mount Rushmore - the four men who had the biggest impact on his life. Loya grew up in the iconic Ship Hotel and his adventures in the historic building and the aftermath of the business’s failure caused him to become very calloused and scoped his early coaching style. Through the examination of the virtue of trust, a key component to being a good teammate, he explains how the coaches who impacted his life demonstrated how to have, build, and earn trust. Those three elements coincide with Loya’s three components of a good teammate - care, share, and listen. While teaching kids to be competitive can be beneficial, it is an endeavor that should take a back seat to teaching kids to be good teammates, a more valuable life skill. Everybody is part of a team in some capacity, and the world cannot have too many good teammates. When Sr. Eric Marie, a nearly 80-year old nun, joins Loya’s quest to build good teammates, the practices of the unassuming woman become the basis for the coach’s system. Loya explains how the Sisters of Mercy values of mercy, justice, hospitality, and service can be applied to using sports to teach kids to be good teammates. ungekürzt. Language: English.
