Book of Two , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 743min
A story about good and evil, love and family. A modern fantasy tale where twin sisters are split apart by fates; two witches that desire to use their gift to rip a hole in relativity so their dark God, Baal Berith, can rule this world and grant them all they desire. The story revolves around twin sisters and the power they share. It is humorous and explores the journey of one sister in this world, but separated from it in death, and her twin who must travel the underworld and who is very much alive. The distance between this world and the next is as thick as a whisper, as deep as shadow, and as real as a summer's dream. This is a tale of those that strive to exist within the cracks that separate life and death, or this world and the other. Grace thought she had settled into the perfect life. She had found the perfect man and with him they had found the perfect home. Ahead of them their future together appeared golden. Until the darkest of storms washed those dreams away in its torrent. A targeted home invasion and fire left her fiancée fighting for his life and her twin sister taken by the men who not only ruined her life but ended it. Stuck somewhere between this world and the next, her cold body is driven by the vengeance within her burning soul. Grace must seek out those who wronged her so violently for the darkest of reasons not only to find out why they did these things and to save her sister but also to save her soul. If she can save the world and all the other souls residing upon it from an ancient evil growing more powerful from the machinations of its cult, then all to the good; but this isn't Grace's priority, not when the men who killed her so painfully still live. ungekürzt.

Big Data: The Revolution That Is Transforming Our Work, Market, and World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 106min
Big Data is like teenage sex: everyone talks about it, nobody really knows how to do it, everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so everyone claims they are doing it. - Dan Ariely"Within two days, we produce the same amount of data generated by at the beginning of the civilization until 2003," said Eric Schmidt in 2010. According to IBM, by 2020 the world will have generated a mass of data on the order of 40 zettabyte (1021Byte). Just think, for example, of digital content such as photos, videos, blogs, posts, and everything that revolves around social networks; only Facebook marks 30 billion pieces of content each month shared by its users. The explosion of social networks, combined with the emergence of smartphones, justifies the fact that one of the recurring terms of recent years in the field of innovation, marketing, and IT is big data.The term big data indicates data produced in massive quantities, with remarkable rapidity, and in the most diverse formats, which require technologies and resources that go far beyond conventional data management and storage systems. In order to obtain from the use of this data the maximum results in the shortest possible time or even in real time, specific tools with high computing capabilities are necessary. In the United States, the term has become a key concept in 2009 when President Obama created the position of Chief Technology Officer as part of his America's Innovation Strategy.But what does the big data phenomenon mean? Is the proliferation of data simply the sign of an increasingly invasive world? Or is there something more to it? Pat Nakamoto will guide you through the discovery of the world of big data, which, according to experts, in the near future could become the new gold or oil, in what is a real data-driven economy. ungekürzt.

Meteora: The History of the Famous Greek Landmark That Houses Eastern Orthodox Monasteries , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 81min
The Tower of Babel is arguably among the most well-known allegories of the Old Testament. As told by the Book of Genesis, the story revolves around a post-flood batch of Noah's descendants who dwelled in Babylon's Mesopotamia, a city erected by King Nimrod. The population multiplied rapidly over the years, and the city's inhabitants fostered the growth of their culture and enhancing the infrastructure of their territories, made easier by the existence of only one common language. Naturally, the pride of the Mesopotamian residents burgeoned, but their contentment, poisoned by their greed and ambition, began to decline. The only way to prevail over this slump, believed a particularly enterprising group of individuals, was to construct a colossal ziggurat (a “rectangular, stepped tower”) that would ascend past the clouds and into the heavens. With this tower, they intended to “make a name for” mankind and the untouchable abilities of mere mortals, thereby severing their relationship with God, their creator, for good. According to the Bible, God was far from impressed, and to add insult to injury, the architects behind this attempt deliberately opted for man-made materials, such as brick and tar, rather than stone, timber, and other natural building blocks gifted to them by God. The overblown pomposity and conceit of his subjects had to be ceased at once, lest they stray further away from him. Thus, as the people slept, God reached down and scooped up handfuls of the slumbering Mesopotamians and strewed them across the continents, creating 70 different nations and tribes. When they awoke, the bewildered residents of the newly birthed nations were speaking in different tongues. With the architects scattered around the globe and now unable to understand one another, construction of the partially built ziggurat came screeching to a halt. It was later dubbed the “Tower of Babel”, or the “Tower of Confusion”. This miserable monument, which served as a haunting remi ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Colin Fluxman.

Home Cleaning: Ultimate Step by Step Guide to Easily Clean and Organize Your Home , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 49min
In any home, some cleaning-related tasks spark dread in some members of the household, while others don’t mind them at all. For example, one person might detest emptying the dishwasher, and therefore, complete other chores that he or she likes more, or at least is willing to do. Do you think it’s fair to be able to pick and choose when it comes to cleaning and home maintenance? What if everyone likes and dislikes the same tasks? How are chores delegated in your household? Do your kids expect clean folded clothes to magically appear in their drawers? Do they roll their eyes when you suggest they clean the bathroom? By racing in to make their lives easy, have you unintentionally reinforced your children’s belief that the world revolves around them? If you accept that one invests energy at home, it is vital to clean it, since we shed a great deal of skin cells. Because of the manufacturing of skin cells and dust, it is fitting that we clean our floors, and covers occasionally, to improve air quality. We need to breathe clean air. And if we are to prevent odors from cooking, the infestation of gnats, rodents, mice, and other vermin, we need to have a clean environment. Consistent upkeep of a home, as far as cleanliness and orderliness, is, to a great degree, key to our physical wellbeing and emotional wellness. A spotless and clean home diminishes stress and enhances emotional wellbeing, consequently enhancing personal satisfaction. Envision the joy of strolling into a spotless home by the day's end or strolling into an impeccable kitchen in the morning while at the same time scrambling for work. Both occasions are mitigating of stress and to a great degree relieving, once addressed. Living or flourishing in filthy conditions can be unpleasant, undesirable, and disturbing. A clean house is a healthy house. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: ANJALI SARKAR. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/115328/bk_acx0_115328_sample.mp3.

One Night in Winter: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 800min
The acclaimed novelist and prizewinning historian Simon Sebag Montefiore explores the consequences of forbidden love in this heartbreaking epic, inspired by a true story that unfolds in Stalin's Russia during the bleak days after World War II. A jubilant Moscow is celebrating the Soviet Union's victory over Hitler when gunshots ring out though the city's crowded streets. In the shadow of the Kremlin, a teenage boy and girl are found dead. But this is no ordinary tragedy, because these are no ordinary teenagers. As the children of high-ranking Soviet officials, they inhabit a rarefied world that revolves around the exclusive Josef Stalin Commune School 801. The school, which Stalin's own children attended, is an enclave of privilege - but, as the deaths reveal, one that hides a wealth of secrets. Were these deaths an accident, a suicide pact…or murder? Certain that a deeper conspiracy is afoot, Stalin launches a ruthless investigation. In what comes to be known as the Children's Case, youths from all over Moscow are arrested by state security services and brought to the infamous interrogation rooms of the Lubyanka, where they are forced to testify against their friends and their families. Among the casualties of these betrayals are two pairs of illicit lovers, who find themselves trapped at the center of Stalin's witch hunt. As the Children's Case follows its increasingly terrifying course, these couples discover that the decision to follow one's heart comes at a terrible price. A haunting evocation of a time and place in which the state colluded to corrupt and destroy every dream, One Night in Winter is infused with the desperate intrigue of a political thriller. The eminent historian Simon Sebag Montefiore weaves fact and fiction into a richly compelling saga of sacrifice and survival, populated by real figures from the past. But within the darkness shines a deeply human love story, one that transcends its moment as it masterfu ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Simon Prebble.

Devastate the Narcissist: Take Back Control: Transcend Mediocrity, Book 172 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 29min
Narcissism is running rampant in our society. We are becoming victims of other people who are self-centric, self-absorbed, distrustful and neurotic. Many of these people are experiencing delusions, psychotic episodes, hallucinations, cognitive deficits, attention deficits and memory deficits. They may have low IQ, head injury trauma or other disabilities that they have never exposed to us. You may be a very trusting person. You may think that another person will be candid with you about the child abuse that they may have experienced. You meet someone else, and they tell you that they come from a good family. They tell you everything that you want to hear. They tell you everything that they aspire to be, instead of telling you what they truly are. None of us is perfect. But the least perfect person of all is the narcissist. He will lead you to believe that he is perfect in many ways. He will convince you that he is the only person who will ever love you the 'right' way. He is convinced that the world revolves around him. He will make you convinced of this eventually, too. This is his sole purpose, and he is very good at the skills that he uses to achieve this goal. This book, like the other books in my narcissist series, seeks to further educate those who are victims of narcissists. My hopes are that you are in a safe place at the current time, and that your mind is clear. You might be trauma bonded to the narcissist so severely that you can't seem to remember who you even are anymore. This is what the narcissist does: he is a parasite, and he sucks the life out of anyone that he comes in contact with. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sorrel Brigman.

American Sex , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 573min
American Sex is a book presented in a very unique and unusual fashion. Perhaps many of those who would consider reading this entertaining and enlighting observation might think this is just another one of several typical books that have been written on such a tongue-in-cheek subject. But once again, Leon Segers Jr. has shown how he got the title "The Working Man's Prophet" as he consistently comes up with subject matter that, although controversial, gives listeners some straight forward, eye-opening consensus that people love to gossip about around office water coolers, etc., everywhere. He's gone that extra mile again to put to the test in a speculative and curious way which presents facts and figures that a lot of people outright and secretly want to discuss whether they are willing to admit it or not.Just like in his first two books A "Real Life" Bible and Black White America: The Real Differences, American Sex really lays some provocative cards on the table. In A "Real Life" Bible, he made it clear how reality has assessed the true essence of mankind's main plight in life. He tells how money is the blood that courses through our veins. He proves how it is also the world that man revolves around. In Black White America, in a painfully honest and thought provoking way, he distinguishes the staunch differences between America's two main races as well as many races and nationalities in between. He presents the deeply embedded denials that blacks and whites need to bring to the surface to once and for all change the still negative, first impression process.American Sex addresses many of the basic and taboo cliches about sex in sincere terms, as he did in regards to money and race in his other two of six sensational books which both gender and every age group can truly appreciate. ungekürzt.

60-Minute CEO: Mastering Leadership an Hour at a Time , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 223min
Looking toward the C-suite? Take heed. Author and serial CEO Dick Cross pulls back the curtain on this top leadership role, explaining in his new audiobook that being a successful leader, running a business, and doing it extraordinarily well isn’t a full-time job. In 60-Minute CEO: The Fast Track to Top Leadership, Cross makes the case that the single greatest determinant of business success revolves around the job at the top. Cross suggests that the most important, and often overlooked, duty for a CEO is thinking about how to improve his or her business and how to be a leader. Cross also reveals that a mediocre leader can be transformed into an exemplary one simply by refining two key things: Thinking and character. In Cross's trademark conversational style, he conveys why strategy and execution, while important, should take a back seat to authenticity and responsibility, and that the essential elements of the CEO role can be accomplished in several 60-minute sessions every week. Executives may fill their time with other tasks, but leading and running a company requires explicit skills different from those needed for any other corporate position. The good news is that those skills are easy to learn, fun to do, and not time-consuming. In an entertaining style, Cross offers executives the fast track to the top leadership position. And while 60 minutes may seem like a quick fix, as Cross sees it, three 60-minute sessions a week devoted solely to considering your business and your role as leader are crucial to business and leadership success. In 60-Minute CEO, Dick Cross brings over 25 years of experience of transforming companies in various stages of underperformance into industry powerhouses. Cross combines his knowledge and experience with the stories and lessons of preeminent leaders and thinkers including General George Patton and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson. ungekürzt.
