Making Merit - Is It Really Meritorious?: 7 Principles That Every Karmically-Influenced Person Should Know About Getting into Heaven , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 35min
Whether raised in Eastern or Western societies, many people adhere to the concept of "karma" - that doing good brings good things; bad brings bad - in some form or another. Every normal person wants to receive "good", and so we see many people "being good" with a double-sided motivation. They not only want to receive good but they also fear that bad things will happen if they are not good. However, if a person is truly good, wouldn’t they do good simply because they are a good person and not because they want something in return, or because they are scared something negative might occur to them?This book, originally created with Thai Buddhists in mind, takes a closer look at the commonplace act of "merit-making" and challenges the concepts and attitudes behind this ancient practice. ungekürzt.

Cryogenic Valves for Liquefied Natural Gas Plants
Natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) continue to grow as a part of the sustainable energy mix. While oil and gas companies look to lower emissions, one key refinery component that contributes up to 60% of emissions are valves, mainly due to poor design, sealing, and testing. Cryogenic Valves for Liquefied Natural Gas Plants delivers a much-needed reference that focuses on the design, testing, maintenance, material selection, and standards needed to stay environmentally compliant at natural gas refineries. Covering technical definitions, case studies, and Q&A, the reference includes all ranges of natural gas compounds, including LPG, CNG, NGL, and PNG. Key design considerations are included that are specific for cryogenic services, including a case study on cryogenic butterfly valves. The material selection process can be more complex for cryogenic services, so the author goes into more detail about materials that adhere to cryogenic temperature resistance. Most importantly, testing of valves is covered in depth, including shell test, closure or seat test, and thermal shock tests, along with tactics on how to prevent dangerous cryogenic leaks, which are very harmful to the environment. The book is a vital resource for today's natural gas engineers.- Shop: buecher

Passing
Restless Classics presents the ninetieth anniversary edition of an undersung gem of the Harlem Renaissance: Nella Larsen's Passing, a captivating and prescient exploration of identity, sexuality, self-invention, class, and race set amidst the pealing boisterousness of the Jazz Age. When childhood friends Irene Redfield and Clare Kendry cross paths at a whites-only restaurant, it's been decades since they last met. Married to a bigoted white man who has no idea that she is African American, Clare has fully embraced her ability to "pass" as a white woman. Irene, also light-skinned and living in Harlem, is shocked by Clare's rejection of her heritage, though she too passes when it suits her needs. This encounter sparks an intense relationship between the two women who, as acclaimed critic and novelist Darryl Pinckney writes in his insightful introduction, reflect Larsen's own experience of being "between black and white, and culturally at home nowhere." In a culture intent on setting boundaries, Clare and Irene refuse to adhere to expectations of gender, race, or class, culminating in a tragic clash of identities, as their relationship swings between emotional hostility and intense attraction.- Shop: buecher

Leaving Church Becoming Ekklesia: Because Jesus Never Said He Would Build a Church , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 318min
Upon this rock, I will build my.... Church - the central identifying word that encompasses the entire religious spectrum. It is the buildings we go to, the sectarian ideology we adhere to, it is the core of our spiritual identity. Church - the Body of Christ, the Bride of Christ, the called-out ones. Church - Evangelical, Pentecostal, Catholic, and Non-Denominational. Church - the guardian of doctrine, the ark for lost souls, the social bastion for the righteous. We have embraced and perpetuated a culture around this single word. A word never spoken by Jesus Christ. Church - a word that should have never existed for believers. In this book, Tim Kurtz explores the word "church". Leaving Church Becoming Ekklesia reveals what Jesus really said He would build. He never said He would build a church. Jesus is building His ekklesia. When you understand this truth, you will want to embrace your true identity in Christ, and be among those who turn the world upside down. ungekürzt. Language: English.

Guardian: The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 821min
Admiral Geary's First Fleet of the Alliance has survived the journey deep into unexplored interstellar space, a voyage that led to the discovery of new alien species, including a new enemy and a possible ally. Now Geary's mission is to ensure the safety of the Midway Star System, which has revolted against the Syndicate Worlds empire - an empire that is on the brink of collapse. To complicate matters further, Geary also needs to return safely to Alliance space not only with representatives of the Dancers, an alien species, but also with Invincible, a captured warship that could possibly be the most valuable object in human history. Despite the peace treaty that Geary must adhere to at all costs, the Syndicate Worlds regime threatens to make the fleet's journey back grueling and perilous. And even if Geary escorts Invincible and the Dancers' representatives safely unharmed, the Syndics' attempts to spread dissent and political unrest may have already sown the seeds of the Alliance's destruction.... ungekürzt.

The Anti-Lincoln: President Obama and the Politics of Division , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 276min
My war with the PIGS (Progressive Identity Groups): America has been divided by a disingenuous death cult known as Progressivism and its primary weapon: the Mob. The Progressives use aggressive identity politics to divide and conquer those they seek to rule over. They acquire power by convincing, coercing, or brainwashing individuals into renouncing personal liberty in favor of group rights. Entitlement replaces merit as a path to a better life. The sheeple are taught to seek answers from experts and to scapegoat those who don't adhere to the manufactured consensus. This has been accomplished by contaminating the general public's understanding of individuality and its relationship to the collective. The Progressive ethos was perhaps best stated by Benito Mussolini when he said that "everything is in the State, and nothing human or spiritual exists, much less has value, outside the State". This book is dedicated to exposing the herd mentality of the institutional Left. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Wayne Hamelin.

Le Morte D'Arthur , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2246min
To the modern eye, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table have many similarities to our own contemporary super-heroes. Equipped with magical powers, enchanted swords, super-strength, and countless villains to take on, they protect the weak and innocent and adhere to their own code of honor. Comparing Batman, Superman, and Captain America to Sir Launcelot, Sir Tristram, and Sir Galahad isn't a huge leap of the imagination. Perhaps, for the 15th century reader, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table were the equivalent of our modern day Justice League or Avengers. This audiobook gets to the heart of the narrative, telling the exciting legends of the supernatural, magic, dragons, beasts, battles, and chivalry contained in Sir Thomas Malory's epic in a contemporary and unaffected style. First published by William Caxton in 1485, this version is a faithfully unabridged narration of the complete Malory text (excluding the introduction). It includes the chapter numbers and descriptions used in the original manuscript. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chris MacDonnell.
