  The Price of Defeat: The History of British Operations to Transfer Personnel, Technology, and Equipment from Germany to Britain after World War II , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 123min

  After the last shots of World War II were fired and the process of rebuilding Germany and Europe began, the Western Allies and the Soviet Union each tried to obtain the services of the Third Reich's leading scientists, especially those involved in rocketry, missile technology, and aerospace research. Naturally, this was a delicate affair due to the fact many of the German scientists were not only active Nazis but had helped the Nazi war machine terrorize the world. At the same time, by the late war period, the Anglo-American Allies formed a clear picture of the Soviet state. Though forced to ally with the USSR's dictator, the West came to understand Communist Russia represented yet another hungry totalitarian power, and thus a very real threat to an independent Europe. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill realized the menacing character of the Soviets from the Katyn Forest Massacre of Polish army officers, if not before, while the Americans only gradually shed a naïve assumption of continued Russian friendliness after the war. The Western approach, however self-interested, typically met with voluntary compliance on the German scientists' parts. In contrast, the Soviet answer to Paperclip, Operation Osoaviakhim, used the implied threat of imprisonment, torture, and death, the characteristic tools of Stalinist Russia, to coerce assistance from German scientists and engineers following the war. These men yielded rich dividends to the Soviet state in terms of achieving at least temporary technical parity with the USSR's western rivals. To say these operations had a profound impact on the Cold War and American history would be an understatement. The most well-known example of Operation Paperclip’s “success” was Wernher von Braun, who was once a member of a branch of the SS involved in the Holocaust before becoming known as the “father of rocket science” and fascinating the world with visions of winged rockets and space stations as a “new” Manhattan P ungekürzt.

This book will show you how to do all that by raising your likeability factor - or how much other people like you. After all, life is a series of popularity contests. The choices other people make about you determine your health, wealth, and happiness. And decades of research prove that people choose who they like.

By being likeable. The more you are liked - or the higher your likeability factor - the happier your life will be. This book will show you how to raise that likeability factor by teaching you how to boost four critical elements of your personality: Friendliness: your ability to communicate liking and openness to others Relevance: your capacity to connect with others’ interests, wants, and needs Empathy: your ability to recognize, acknowledge, and experience other people’s feelings Realness: the integrity that stands behind your likeability and guarantees its authenticity What happens when you improve in these areas and boost your likeability factor? You bring out the best in others You survive life’s challenges You have better health - and even improve others’ health, too You outperform in your daily roles You win the popularity contests that define your life  Join me for a few hours and I’ll share the results of hundreds of thousands of pages of research, numerous seminars, and hundreds of interviews with people just like you!

  Mind-Body Weight Loss: An Inner Power Weight Loss Program That Will Transform Your Body, Mind, Heart, and Soul , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 223min

  This might be hard to believe, but successful weight loss does not begin with your body. It’s not simply about eating less and exercising more. It’s not just a matter of calories in and calories out. Dr. Brian Alman's new book, Mind-Body Weight Loss, reveals a great weight-loss secret: The first step to effective weight loss is more emotional than it is physical; it depends more on how much you love and support yourself than on how much you starve and work your body. And so, to be successful, losing weight has to begin on the inside, in your heart, mind, and spirit. Only when you start to love yourself unconditionally - to treat yourself with friendliness, caring, and compassion - will you be able to lose those extra pounds and keep them off.Mind-Body Weight Loss presents 42 simple but powerful techniques - guided meditations, mind-body visualizations, and mindful eating exercise - that guide you along the inner path to losing weight and keeping it off, once and for all. As you practice these techniques, you’ll learn how to create a healthy new relationship with yourself and with food. You’ll learn how to accept and express your buried feelings; how to recognize and relax your self-criticism; how to relieve your stress; how to appreciate your body; how to renew your relationships; and how to resolve the family issues that have been weighing you down for years. And, most importantly, you’ll learn how to gain a new perspective - what Dr. Alman calls "The Last Row Perspective™" - on your life and your weight-loss issues. This wider, wiser perspective will help you look at your overeating with new eyes, and find your own best answers for losing weight and keeping it off - answers that work best for you because they come from you. ungekürzt.

  Improve Your Social Skills , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 300min

  Improve Your Social Skills is a comprehensive, practical guide to social skills. It contains easy-to-understand explanations of social interaction, written by a professional social skills coach whose TEDx talk on overcoming the social challenges of Asperger's syndrome has been viewed over 100,000 times You'll learn how to: Make conversation (and keep conversation flowing smoothly) Read body language (and use your own body language to signal friendliness and confidence) Meet new people (and make friends with them) Tell stories in conversation (that don't bore your audience) Combat shyness and social anxiety (a little courage every day adds up) Date successfully (without manipulation or sneaky tricks) And more! I'm Dan Wendler, and I wrote this book because I believe everyone deserves a place to belong, and I didn't want poor social skills to hold anyone back from friendship and community - even if they struggle with social skills. I know firsthand how hard it is to struggle socially. Growing up I was bullied, harassed, and excluded - no matter how hard I tried to fit in. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome that I put the puzzle pieces together. I realized I struggled socially because I didn't have any social skills. And just like any other skill, social skills can be learned. The guide you're about to hear is a compilation of the social principles I've learned during my lifetime of personal social skills study, as well as the techniques I developed while offering hundreds of hours of social skills coaching. These principles led me to a life full of close friendship and satisfying connection I believe that you, too can live a life full to the brim with friendship, connection, and love. I hope that after listening to Improve Your Social Skills, you'll believe it too. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ryan Prizio.

  Windows 10: An Updated and Edited Windows 10 User Manual Guide for Beginners , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 58min

  Trying to figure out the new Windows 10? This audiobook is the answer to all your questions. This audiobook is a great introduction to the Windows 10 operating system. Windows 10 is a significant upgrade to Windows 7 and Windows 8. There are several new features that will significantly increase your productivity and improve your life and your business. Windows 10 is a smart hybrid operating system which is designed to eliminate the gap between mobile and desktop platforms. The first attempt for such an objective was made by Microsoft with its Windows 8 release. Windows 10 is also the current operating system product and is a work-in-progress type of software. That is, all the other software launched in this category were a one-time release; however, Windows 10 is not just another version of Windows that will fade away with time. Instead of releasing a new Windows product, Microsoft will be adding new features to Windows 10 itself. Hence, as there will be no new Windows products released by Microsoft again, Windows 10 is known as the last version of Windows. With new Windows features added via updating, people won’t have to worry about backing up their data again whenever they have to upgrade the operating system of their machine. In this audiobook, you will learn exactly why Windows 10 is the fastest and smartest Windows product ever made by Microsoft. You will learn everything that you need to know about Windows 10, from its upgrade requirements to its features and tricks. Windows Vista lacked in usability and user-friendliness, Windows 7 was alright but never a user-favorite. Windows 8 and 8.1 had many more flaws, primarily the lack of a start menu. Windows 10 tries to address all of these issues, and it does so pretty successfully. In our audiobook, we will show you just what makes Windows 10 great for you. What you'll learn:  Difference between Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 Installation of Wind ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Bahl.

  Programming with OpenSCAD

  Programming with OpenSCAD is a STEM-focused, learn-to-code book for beginners that introduces core computational thinking concepts through the design of 3D-printable objects. Develop coding skills as you build increasingly complex 3D models and print them into fun games, puzzles, and more.OpenSCAD is freely available open source software that enables nondesigners to easily create 3D designs using a text-based programming language. It s a great language for beginners because the instant 3D visualization gives you immediate feedback on the results of your code. This book channels OpenSCAD s visual benefits and user-friendliness into a STEAM-focused, project-based tutorial that teaches the basics of coding, 3D printing, and computational thinking while you develop your spatial reasoning by creating 3D designs with OpenSCAD.Presuming no prior experience with either programming or 3D design, each chapter builds a scaffolded understanding of core concepts. You ll start by defining, drawing and displaying geometric primitives with text-based code, then expand your creative toolbox with transformation operations like rotating, reflecting, scaling, and combining shapes.As the projects become more sophisticated, so will your programming skills; you ll use loops for replicating objects, if statements for differentiating your designs, and parameterized, self-contained modules to divide longer scripts into separate files. Along the way, you'll learn 3D printing tips so that you can produce physical mementos of your progress and get physical feedback that lets you correct mistakes in real time. In addition, the book provides hands-on and accessible design exercises at the end of each chapter so that you can practice applying new concepts immediately after they are introduced.You ll learn: Programming basics like working with variables, loops, conditional statements, and parameterized modules Transformation operations, such as rotate, reflect, and scale, to create complex shapes Extrusion techniques for turning 2D shapes into elaborate 3D designs Computational-thinking concepts, including decomposition, abstraction, and pattern recognition OpenSCAD s Boolean, Minkowski and hull operations for combining multiple 3D shapes into one 3D design fundamentals, like navigating the xyz-axis, orthogonal vs. perspective views, and constructive solid geometry Organizing bigger designs into separate files to make code more readable and collaborativeAccessibly written for a wide audience (advanced middle schoolers, high school students, college students, artists, makers and lifelong-learners alike), this is the perfect guide to becoming proficient at programming in general and 3D modeling in particular.
