Jeremy Bender vs. the Cupcake Cadets , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 312min
When 11-year-old Jeremy Bender does major damage to his father's prized boat, he figures he has one way to avoid being grounded for life: Fix it before Dad finds out. But even if Jeremy and his best friend, Slater, combined their allowances for a year, they still wouldn't have enough money for the cost of repairs. Inspiration strikes when the boys see an ad for the Windjammer Whirl. Sponsored by the Cupcake Cadets, the model sailboat race pays five hundred dollars to the winner. There's just one problem: You must be a Cadet - and a girl - to compete. Confident that it will be the easiest money they've ever made, Jeremy convinces Slater they should dress up like girls and infiltrate the troop. But as the boys proceed to botch everything from camping to field hockey, they realize that being a Cadet is no piece of cupcake. Can Jeremy and Slater earn their badges and win the money? Or will their Cupcake careers be over faster than you can say "vanilla frosting"? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lincoln Hoppe.

G.I. Nightingales: The Army Nurse Corps in World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 670min
Weaving together information from official sources and personal interviews, Barbara Tomblin gives the first full-length account of the US Army Nurse Corps in the Second World War. She describes how over 60,000 army nurses, all volunteers, cared for sick and wounded American soldiers in every theater of the war, serving in the jungles of the Southwest Pacific, the frozen reaches of Alaska and Iceland, the mud of Italy and northern Europe, or the heat and dust of the Middle East. Many of the women in the Army Nurse Corps served in dangerous hospitals near the front lines. 201 nurses were killed by accident or enemy action, and another 1,600 won decorations for meritorious service. These nurses address the extreme difficulties of dealing with combat and its effects in World War II, and their stories are all the more valuable to women's and military historians because they tell of the war from a very different viewpoint than that of male officers. Although they were unable to achieve full equality for American women in the military during World War II, army nurses did secure equal pay allowances and full military rank, and they proved beyond a doubt their ability and willingness to serve and maintain excellent standards of nursing care under difficult and often dangerous conditions. ungekürzt.

The 5 Money Conversations to Have with Your Kids at Every Age and Stage , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 335min
To teach a child about money, you must first know his or her Money Personality. Your Money Relationship with your kids has nothing to do with how much you spend on them. It has nothing to do with how much you've saved for college or the allowance you give. It has nothing to do with how much debt you have or how much you've invested. Those are your financial arrangements, and this audiobook is not going to spend much time discussing those. Instead, it's going to dig into what really makes or breaks a family in any area: relationships. After all, you can have a great budget, a healthy college fund, a great system for doling out allowances, but if you are constantly bickering with your kids about their spending, missing out on making memories now in order to fund their futures, well, you've hit the wrong target. You might have a solid financial future, but you'll have a family that can barely be in a room together without fighting. That's why this book is going to focus on the Money Personality relationship between you and your kids. Is your child a Spender? What does this mean for him at age five? Twelve? Eighteen? Or perhaps she is a Saver, Risk Taker, or even a Flyer? Will the same money conversations work with each different personality? Of course not. And understanding how to navigate these different personalities will be the best advice you've ever received on training up your children in the way they should go. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Carbon Trading: Money , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 7min
Learn about Carbon Trading with iMinds Money's insightful fast knowledge series. Carbon trading is a scheme designed to curb the amount of greenhouse gas emissions companies produce. This is due to the widely-held view that such emissions negatively impact the planet. Carbon trading forms part of the carbon market, which can be divided into two main categories. The first of these is project-based transactions. In this system, the buyer purchases ‘emission reductions’ from a project that has demonstrated its low greenhouse gas emissions. In this way, the more carbon a company emits, the more money goes towards projects that counter the effects of air pollution. The second category of the carbon market is allowance-based transactions. In this system, some companies sell emission allowances and other companies buy them. The buyers are then able to emit more carbon than would otherwise be allowed. In this way, a feasible carbon emission reduction is achieved without all businesses needing to perform to the same level. Carbon trading is an allowance-based transaction. The belief that carbon emissions have a deleterious impact on the environment and health can be traced back to the Industrial Revolution. In the twentieth century, medical professionals investigated the apparent adverse affects of air pollution on health. They traced a link between carbon emissions and a myriad of respiratory and cardiovascular disorders, from the cause of asthma to the aggravation of heart conditions. With increased research into the adverse effects of so-called ‘toxic air’, there grew a push to reduce carbon emission output. ungekürzt. Language: English.

What I Learned Losing a Million Dollars , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min
Tim Ferriss Book Club Selection Jim Paul's meteoric rise took him from a small town in Northern Kentucky to governor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, yet he lost it all - his fortune, his reputation, and his job - in one fatal attack of excessive economic hubris. In this honest, frank analysis, Paul and Brendan Moynihan revisit the events that led to Paul's disastrous decision and examine the psychological factors behind bad financial practices in several economic sectors. This book - winner of a 2014 Axiom Business Book award gold medal - begins with the unbroken string of successes that helped Paul achieve a jet-setting lifestyle and land a key spot with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. It then describes the circumstances leading up to Paul's $1.6 million loss and the essential lessons he learned from it - primarily that, although there are as many ways to make money in the markets as there are people participating in them, all losses come from the same few sources. Investors lose money in the markets either because of errors in their analysis or because of psychological barriers preventing the application of analysis. While all analytical methods have some validity and make allowances for instances in which they do not work, psychological factors can keep an investor in a losing position, causing him to abandon one method for another in order to rationalize the decisions already made. Paul and Moynihan's cautionary tale includes strategies for avoiding loss tied to a simple framework for understanding, accepting, and dodging the dangers of investing, trading, and speculating. Also included is a bonus hour-long interview between co-author Brendon Moynihan and noted investor, business advisor, and best-selling author Tim Ferriss. ungekürzt. Language: English.

My Beautiful Psychosis: Making Sense of Madness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 575min
My Beautiful Psychosis is a stunning debut memoir from international award winning documentary filmmaker, Emma Goude. It is a gritty tale of transformation, depicting from the inside some of the most powerful experiences a human mind can endure. What if psychosis is really a wake up call?Emma is a 20-something who likes to party and take drugs...until she decides to give them up...and that’s when the insomnia starts. After five nights without sleep she ends up in A&E.Three questions determine whether she is sane or not.Three questions stand between her and the psychiatric ward.She gets them wrong.Emma is an atheist, a skeptical cynic who chose dope over God, so when she has some spiritual experiences she is not entirely sure if she is delusional. The psychiatric system has forgotten that "psyche" means soul. All they know about is medication and they have ways of making her take it. It becomes a game she has to play in order to get out. It is also a perception of herself she must do battle with in order to stand strong in her belief that her psychosis is some kind of awakening. This powerful, honest and lucid memoir turns on its head the idea that psychosis is a debilitating illness, caused by a brain chemical imbalance, which requires medication for life. My Beautiful Psychosis questions conventional methods of "treating" psychosis and points towards a radical vision where "diagnosis" of mental illness makes allowances for spiritual growth rather than simply treating a perceived chemical imbalance. My Beautiful Psychosis is a heart wrenching true story. Raw and vulnerable, spiritual but funny, it will change the way you see psychosis. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Emma Goude.
