    Four heartwarming tales! Sigh, swoon, and fall in love with Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth, again and again.Love and Other MachinesHer life was going smoothly until love threw a wrench into it.Her uncle’s pet and her mother's trial, Elizabeth Bennet has always been…different. Blessed with a quick mind and a knack for all things mechanical, sometimes the simplest things — like love — are harder for her to fix. A gentleman by birth but an engineer at heart, Darcy wastes no time in dismantling Elizabeth’s secret. But he has secrets of his own that cause him to linger, to falter, and then to risk everything. Can Elizabeth and Darcy work together, or will the gears spin out of control?IndisposedA misunderstanding to last a lifetime.When Elizabeth Bennet first meets Fitzwilliam Darcy, she is not feeling quite herself. Miserable and in an unsociable temper, she decides to attend the Meryton Assembly against her better judgment to support her beloved sister. Fitzwilliam Darcy unknowingly misjudges the condition of Miss Elizabeth Bennet’s health. What begins as complete disinterest soon develops into pity when an unknown surgeon offers an even more bleak outlook for the young woman’s future. He will see that her last days are worth living. He commits himself to be her champion…irrevocably. Will he discover his feelings are more than just pity on a dying woman?Spirited AwayWhen doing the right thing goes utterly wrong.Elizabeth Bennet cannot rid herself of the strange feeling she has whenever she is around Mr. Darcy — and it has nothing to do with the fact that he is irresistibly handsome and intelligent. Almost nothing, anyway. People around town are disappearing, and no one seems to know why. And who was that woman Mr. Darcy was hiding at the Meryton Inn? Elizabeth has questions, and Mr. Darcy refuses to answer them. In the absence of good informa ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Megan Green.

    Why are we obsessed with the things we want and bored when we get them?Why is addiction “perfectly logical” to an addict?Why does love change so quickly from passion to disinterest?Why are some people diehard liberals and others hardcore conservatives?Why are we always hopeful for solutions even in the darkest times - and so good at figuring them out? The answer is found in a single chemical in your brain: dopamine. Dopamine ensured the survival of early man. Thousands of years later, it is the source of our most basic behaviors and cultural ideas - and progress itself. Dopamine is the chemical of desire that always asks for more - more stuff, more stimulation, and more surprises. In pursuit of these things, it is undeterred by emotion, fear, or morality. Dopamine is the source of our every urge, that little bit of biology that makes an ambitious business professional sacrifice everything in pursuit of success, or that drives a satisfied spouse to risk it all for the thrill of someone new. Simply put, it is why we seek and succeed; it is why we discover and prosper. Yet, at the same time, it’s why we gamble and squander. From dopamine’s point of view, it’s not the having that matters. It’s getting something - anything - that’s new. From this understanding - the difference between possessing something versus anticipating it - we can understand in a revolutionary new way why we behave as we do in love, business, addiction, politics, religion - and we can even predict those behaviors in ourselves and others. In The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativity—And will Determine the Fate of the Human Race, George Washington University professor and psychiatrist Daniel Z.

    Six more cases solved by Sherlock Holmes: The Adventure of the Dancing Men: Hilton Cubitt, from Derbyshire, consults Holmes about a series of dancing men picture-messages his wife is receiving.

Holmes has to decipher the code of the matchstick men and get to the bottom of the dreadful murder that lies behind it. The Adventure of the Solitary Cyclist: Sherlock Holmes first regards the experiences related by newly arrived visitor Violet Smith with a degree of impatience and disinterest.

     The Black Seraph rises with one mission. Save humanity. From billions, only a million must survive.The end of the era of humanity was marked by the appearance of the World Dungeon and the system of power it provided. No one gained more power than the tyrant known as the Black Seraph, the Angel of Genocide. Surviving at the expense of the rest of humanity, Seraph was able to complete the World Dungeon upon reaching the Altar of the End. A hollow victory, as he was cursed by the spirit of the dungeon for ruthlessly focusing on his empowerment.   His power sealed away within the dungeon, Seraph was cast into the past, reincarnated into the body of his child-liker self, forbidden from hoarding power for himself and charged with the mission of ensuring the survival of humanity. But people do not change overnight, and Seraph must find a new path forward and learn there's more to power than being a tyrant if humanity is to survive the Genesis Game.Some Reviews"With these rebirth stories, you get a character who uses foreknowledge to become super strong. This story acknowledges bad memory bad choices and simple disinterest. In other words, the character is a normal human being. Love it.""I hesitated a bit to pick this up after seeing negative reviews, but ignore them. Seraph is the ultimate anti-hero in the truest sense. He's not evil so much as amoral from his experiences. I'm really interested in seeing how he develops going forward.""The MC was from my point of view believable. He does what needs to be done, I know many people might not agree but I found his choices realistic even though this is syfi/fantasy the choices felt realistic of a grown male. No crying and wishy-washy mistakes that gets everyone killed, you know letting the same shithead go 4000 time's under the mistaken belief that the bad guy's life is as important as the 30 people he killed and it would be wrong to take his life, then at the en ungekürzt.

     Insecurities are dangerous because they chip away at a man's confidence levels. Whether your insecurities are, you have to address them, deal with them, and implement affirmations/mantras designed to overcome them.When you are in the field exude extreme confidence, even if it doesn't make sense, even if it is irrational, even if you don't have things going for you. To a woman's primal side, confidence still turns her on, regardless if it is based on real substance or not. Attractive confidence is about having an intense and fierce conviction that you are a man of the highest worth and that women would be fortunate to be with you. Believe this 100 percent from the bottom of your heart. This isn't a ruse. Believe this sincerely.  If you think you are ugly, too old, or that something is severely wrong with you, then this will destroy your confidence, self-esteem and inner game and make it challenging to get girls. You have to truly believe in yourself! "I am valuable!" "I am worthy!" Be confident in who you are, what you do, what you say, what you bring to the table, and the fact that many women will be really into you. Confidence is the ultimate attraction amplifier. When you know that you've got the game skills to meet and seduce new girls, a seducer's lifestyle, and currently have multiple girls in your rotation, then you will internalize the highly magnetic abundance mindset that gives intense confidence and attracts women like a magnet. Staying on your purpose, remaining calm, and not emotionally reacting to trivial, petty issues such as silly tests, frame control challenges, and signs of disinterest from a woman, reveals strength and confidence in oneself. Confidence comes from knowing your worth. Men of status behave like men of status. Act as if you are a king and you will be treated as such. Confidence tells others of your worth. Confidence doesn't even flinch.Plus ove ungekürzt.

    Women are silenced. The process may change over the decades, but the outcome is the same. Womens' voices are throttled and womens' words and images are stricken from the record. Those who speak out are abused and those who don't speak out are abused. The abuse will be manipulated to fit the circumstances, but the outcome is the same. Women are silenced. The author, Caroline Ambrus, was the only daughter of parents whose beliefs were based on Christianity, Victorian attitudes towards sex and the post World War Two discrimination against women. They made sure that their only daughter did not speak out, that she was compliant, pleasant, obedient and saving her virginity for marriage. Her autobiography traces how she survived their toxic ministrations to become a writer, a publisher, an artist and a feminist. In the 1950s when she was a teenager, the author became an unmarried mother. Consequently, she experienced sexist discrimination such as, restrictions on abortions, the shame of illegitimacy, the distain of the police, the disinterest of politicians, the harassment from welfare, prejudicial decisions from the bureaucracy and the mealy mouthed concern of the clergy. Domestic violence, sexual harassment, rape and kidnapping was her intermittent nightmare for over twenty years. The women's movement of the 1960s addressed many of these issues and through women's advocacy some of them were resolved. However, the reforms that got off the ground were mostly of benefit to men such as de-facto relationships, birth control, abortion and illegitimacy, all of which gave them a free pass for sex. Economic, political and judicial equality was out of the question, then and now, for the conservative governments which have ruled since Gough Whitlam's progressive government. Women's stories from the past are important today. Those who ignore history are bound to repeat it. In recent decades there has been an escalation of misogyny in every quarter, from the leaders of the land to the wife killers in the suburbs. Women of today need to know the stories of their foremothers. There may be lessons to be learned. The tactics of feminists from the last century most likely ensured the failure of the movement. Activists were bought off by government grants. They were bribed with jobs. Others poured their energies into creating services to help vulnerable women and children which should have been the business of government. Women paid taxes which were returned to them in a drip feed of meagre proportions to solve problems the government couldn't or wouldn't abide. Women today need better strategies than that. Even now, when women try to speak to Australia's male dominated governments about their concerns, witness the machinations, including diversions, silence, misunderstanding, misinterpreting, abusing, forgetting and so on, anything to make the problem go away. Feminists used to say "sisterhood is powerful" which today's bright young things might feel is "old hat". But these days the women of Australia are getting together, yet again, and the slogan is rightfully "enough is enough". The men of Australia need to listen and be supportive. In her eighties, Caroline Ambrus is bringing her memories, which were written in the 1970s, out of their digital anonymity, to reach out to other women who are going through the same excruciating hand to hand combat with men as she did last century. She hopes that by discarding the unacceptable, and reaching out to those who are prepared to listen, her book will stand as a record of her times and as a road map for those following on.
