Murder at the Bijou , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 291min
Murder at the Bijou (originally titled Nothing More Than Murder) is noir master Jim Thompson's dizzying tale of deception, adultery, revenge, arson, and cold-blooded murder in Smalltown, U.S.A., Thompson's favorite setting. In this novel, Thompson's first major success as a pulp fiction writer, Joe Wilmot, trying to go straight after a stretch in the pen, finds a movie house in a small crossroads that can use a helping hand and someone with half a brain for business. The theater's owner, Elizabeth, isn't the smartest operator around - or is she? Joe and the plain Jane Elizabeth decide maybe it would be better for business if they got married. Why not? And then Carol shows up, a bit stale in the eye candy department but ready and willing to serve - in every way. They've got insurance coverage on the movie house; their lives would all be better if the place maybe had an accident, a little fire. But things can go very wrong. And in Murder at the Bijou they do. Fans of Jim Thompson will recognize the terse dialogue, plot twists and double-crosses, and a belief that nothing in the world is good, all of which makes Stephen King say that Jim Thompson is "My favorite crime novelist - often imitated but never duplicated." ungekürzt.

Fabrics of My Life: An Ordinary Person with Extraordinary Experiences , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 216min
Johnnie Mae Stewart says that life is like a custom-made patchwork jacket. Each of us has our own set of experiences, relationships, memories, and life events - the fabrics of our lives - that combine like that patchwork jacket to make us who we are: unique, one-of-a-kind individuals who cannot be duplicated. And if you know where to look, these fabrics can reveal the presence of God in your life and show you how He has been actively working in your circumstances and experiences to shape you into the person you are today. In this audiobook, Johnnie shares some of the most significant fabrics of her life; 20 snippets of a long and fruitful life constantly defined by the presence, protection, power, and purpose of God. Some stories describe everyday events, while others relate miracles or other supernatural encounters with the Lord. She hopes listening to her experiences will help you remember your own, and especially help you see, perhaps more than ever before, how God has been present in every experience and circumstance of your life, whether good or bad, to mold you, guide you, and grow you into the unique and precious person He has always wanted you to be.

They , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min
Rudyard Kipling was one of the most popular writers of prose and poetry in the late 19th and 20th century and awarded the Noble Prize for Literature in 1907. Born in Bombay on 30th December 1865, as was the custom in those days, he and his sister were sent back to England when he was five. The ill treatment and cruelty by the couple who they boarded with in Portsmouth, Kipling himself suggested, contributed to the onset of his literary life. This was further enhanced by his return to India at age 16 to work on a local paper, as not only did this result in him writing constantly but also made him explore issues of identity and national allegiance which pervade much of his work. While he is best remembered for his classic children’s stories and his popular poem "If-", he is also regarded as a major innovator in the art of the short story.

How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 621min
A ground shaking exposé on the failure of popular cyber risk management methods. How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk exposes the shortcomings of current "risk management" practices, and offers a series of improvement techniques that help you fill the holes and ramp up security. In his best-selling book How to Measure Anything, author Douglas W. Hubbard opened the business world's eyes to the critical need for better measurement. This book expands upon that premise and draws from The Failure of Risk Management to sound the alarm in the cybersecurity realm. Some of the field's premier risk management approaches actually create more risk than they mitigate, and questionable methods have been duplicated across industries and embedded in the products accepted as gospel. This book sheds light on these blatant risks and provides alternate techniques that can help improve your current situation. You'll also learn which approaches are too risky to save and are actually more damaging than a total lack of any security. Dangerous risk management methods abound; there is no industry more critically in need of solutions than cybersecurity. This book provides solutions where they exist, and advises when to change tracks entirely. Discover the shortcomings of cybersecurity's "best practices" Learn which risk management approaches actually create risk Improve your current practices with practical alterations Learn which methods are beyond saving, and worse than doing nothing Insightful and enlightening, this book will inspire a closer examination of your company's own risk management practices in the context of cybersecurity. The end goal is airtight data protection, so finding cracks in the vault is a positive thing - as long as you get there before the bad guys do. How to Measure Anything in Cybersecurity Risk is your guide to more robust protection ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Patrick Cronin.

Egyptian Alphabetical Letters of Creation Cycle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 284min
Egyptian Alphabetical Letters of Creation Cycle focuses on the relationship between the sequence of the creation cycle and the Egyptian ABGD alphabets, the principles and principals of Creation, the cosmic manifestation of the Egyptian alphabets, the three primary phases of the creation cycle and their numerical values, and the creation theme of each of the three primary phases. Also discussed is an individual analysis of each of the 28 ABGD alphabetical letters that covers each role in the creation cycle, its sequence significance, its sound and writing form significance, its numerical significance, its names and meanings thereof, its peculiar properties and its nature, impact, and influence. This book is divided into five parts containing a total of 35 chapters. Part I. Egyptian Alphabetical Letters of Creation Cycle has four chapters: "Historical Deception of the (Ancient) Egyptian Linguistics" will clear the intended confusion to hide the alphabetical form of writing in Ancient Egypt - as being the archetype of all languages throughout the world. "The Principles and Principals of Creation" covers the basic components of the creation cycle in the Ancient Egyptian accounts. "The Cosmic Manifestation of the Egyptian Alphabets" covers the natural orderly progression of the emanated divine energy, and the its manifestation in the monthly lunar mansion changes; the correlations between the sequence of the ABGD letters and their numerical values. "The Three Primary Phases of the Creation Cycle" covers the nature of the creation cycle consisting of three phases, as found in the Ancient Egyptian accounts and later on duplicated in Sufi (and other) writings. Part II. The Conceiving Phase/Ennead has 10 chapters, five through 14: Chapter five: "The Theme of the First Phase/Ennead" covers the theme of the First Phase/Ennead (1-9 'A' -'T.' ) as the objectificati ungekürzt.

In the intervening years, he lost both parents. As an orphan at age 11, he was raised by an uncle who let the 16-year-old boy go to Marseille to work on merchant ships where the colorful life of the sea was further enhanced by stints gun running and, intriguingly, political conspiracy. At age 36, his life turned from one of ships to one of literary pursuit. In doing so, Conrad brought to English literature a further layer of style and a deeper examination of the human psyche in a wealth of work. He wrote many novels, rightly regarded today, as some of the finest in English literature. Among their canon are Lord Jim, Nostromo, The Shadow Line and, of course, Heart Of Darkness. For this volume, we dwell among his numerous short stories. In these condensed, narrative structures, much is said in beautiful language. His characters may be brave, comic, and serious, trapped by their own constraints, or as in The Brute, the ship itself, but are always fully formed and true to his word. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Legends of Music: The Life and Legacy of Jimi Hendrix , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min
It is rare in the world of music for a general consensus to form over who was the best at anything. Many would call The Beatles the greatest rock band, but it's easy to find strongly opinionated dissenters. However, when it came to playing a guitar and laying the soundtrack for the psychedelic era, just about everyone agrees there was Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) and then there was everyone else. Anyone arguing otherwise either never heard his music or saw him perform.In fact, Jimi Hendrix is one of the few musicians known primarily for his sound and what he could do with a guitar than for his discography. A part of that is due to his untimely death and entry into the 27 Club, but it is also due to the fact that he was so revolutionary with the use of an electric guitar and so skilled at playing it that the effects have largely not been duplicated since. It was heavy, loud, and completely raw, and yet he was a pioneer in genres as varied as blues and heavy metal. As Pete Townshend famously put it, "With Jimi, I didn't have any envy. I never had any sense that I could ever come close."Ironically, Jimi would later insist that the music that came to him sounded so much better in his head than he was capable of playing that sometimes he didn't even bother grabbing his guitar to try to sound it out. While rock fans can only imagine what it must have sounded like if Jimi didn't feel qualified to play it, they're more than happy with what he did play. When The Jimi Hendrix Experience was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, their award noted that Hendrix "expanded the range and vocabulary of the electric guitar into areas no musician had ever ventured before." ungekürzt.

His father and uncle were both writers, primarily of boy’s fiction, and by age 16, Burrage had joined them. The young man had ambitions to write for the adult market, too. The money was better and so was his writing. From 1890 to 1914, prior to the mainstream appeal of cinema and radio, the printed word, mainly in magazines, was the foremost mass entertainment. A.M. Burrage quickly became a master of the market, publishing his stories regularly across a number of publications. By the start of the Great War, Burrage was well-established, but in 1916, he was conscripted to fight on the Western Front. He continued to write during these years, documenting his experiences in the classic book War Is War by Ex-Private X. For the remainder of his life, Burrage was rarely printed in book form but continued to write and be published on a prodigious scale in magazines and newspapers. In this volume, we concentrate on his supernatural stories which are, by common consent, some of the best ever written. Succinct yet full of character, each reveals a twist and a flavor that is unsettling, sometimes menacing, always disturbing. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ghizela Rowe.
