    The Daedalus Conspiracy: A Detective Novel of 1929: The Cyrus Skeen Series, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 585min
    In Part One, Cyrus Skeen, private detective in 1929 San Francisco, is asked by Charles Gilchrest, chairman of The Daedàlus Society, an exclusive men-only club, to go to the The Daedàlus Grove, a private enclave north of the city, to determine the nature of some trouble he has been warned about in a cryptic note written by an anonymous member. The note alludes to a controversial Senator from Nebraska and a tariff bill in Congress. It may the overture to a prank or it may be a serious threat to the man's life. Skeen agrees to attend the two-week encampment of the Society in rustic Monte Rio, an annual event in the redwood forest with a reputation for Dionysian orgies and behind-the-scenes conspiracies to govern the nation. Posing as a writer, at first Skeen feels out of his natural element of the city, but he soon begins to focus on certain individuals and their peculiar behavior, and begins to collect clues. He eventually grasps that there is indeed a serious plot afoot, but its purpose eludes him. His presence arouses the enmity of many of the 800 attendees of the encampment. At the end he confronts a man in a Minotaur costume wielding a Minoan battle ax. In Part Two, Skeen returns San Francisco, certain that there was more to the conspiracy to assassinate a U.S. senator. Pursuing clues and leads found in the city's political machine and in the grime of its underworld, he wraps up the case with his usual flair, but loses a treasured friend at the climax. ungekürzt.

    American Legends: The Life of Louis Armstrong , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 86min
    If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know. (Louis Armstrong) A lot of time has been spent covering the lives of history's most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors' American Legends series, listeners can get caught up on the lives of America's most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute. And they can do so while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. Louis Armstrong once claimed, "Every time I close my eyes blowing that trumpet of mine - I look right in the heart of good old New Orleans.... It has given me something to live for." This statement conjures an image that most anyone familiar with jazz music can recall: Armstrong clutching his trumpet forcefully, his eyes closed in a manner that distances him from his physical surroundings in favor of a perfect harmony between the man and his instrument. As Armstrong alludes to in this remark, this connection also speaks to the enduring influence of his New Orleans background that informed his musical style. Indeed, it continued to live on through his music. While performing, Armstrong appeared lost in a reverie. It was a condition that imbued his performances with a kind of mythical flair, as if one were watching a man consumed by a moment of transcendence. In other words, if the music of Louis Armstrong produced an emotional response in the listener, this invariably paled in comparison to the deep, organic pathos he was able to produce through his music. ungekürzt.

    Heal : His Command, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 535min, (USK 18)
    From the ashes of his past rises an alpha ready to take what he wants. Professional Dom Cedric Langston isn’t afraid to bring an omega to his knees, but he’s vowed to never let one into his heart. After a tragic event five years prior almost destroyed him, he can’t risk getting hurt again. With a prestigious career shift on the horizon, it’s safer to lose himself in work than to open himself up - ...until he runs headfirst into an omega who makes him never want to hide away again. Twisted by cruel subservience at a young age, an omega exists ready to please. Gabriel Lowe is free from the horrors of his past, but his heart refuses to move on. He’s lost his purpose, his place in life, and the man he thought would give him a family. The world is a harsh place for a broken omega, and when his rehabilitation therapy fails and he returns to the only family he has left, it gets harsher. He’s told he will be entrusted to an alpha - a professional Dom whose kindness and compassion Gabriel can’t understand. But when what should have been nothing more than a job ignites into blistering desire, Cedric and Gabriel are faced with a choice: cling to the demons of their past, or give in to what they’ve found in each other - a way to heal. Heal is a BDSM omegaverse novel set following the events of Obey, Beg, and Stay. It features a stunning use for a frying pan, red-hot body piercings you won’t see coming, and two men who overcome almost insurmountable obstacles to make a family. This novel alludes to sensitive topics some listeners may find difficult, including abuse, violence, and human trafficking. However, a happy ending isn’t only promised, it’s guaranteed. ungekürzt.

Strategies to help defeat what has come to be known as "the obesity epidemic" continued to be tested, given the defenselessness of kids and the perplexing idea of their condition. A child’s initial condition, albeit apparently constrained, is included basically of the family. The family stays a persuasive power even as the kid's condition grows to incorporate companions and school while the child matures. Within the family, parenting is key individuals who impact a kid's conduct. They do as such by bringing out their job through parenting. Parenting alludes to exercises established by parenting while interfacing with their kid to encourage physical, social, and conduct well-being and prosperity all through the child’s lifespan. The job that parenting plays in the advancement of their kid's solid practices, especially those identified with eating and action, is basic. Thusly, kids depend on their folks to structure their condition and advance sound decisions that support vitality equalization and weight all through adolescence into adulthood. Given the job that parenting plays in the improvement of eating and movement practices, it isn't amazing that parenting has been alluded to as a catalyst of change. Consequently, parental jobs require cautious thought in the anticipation and treatment of youth stoutness. Parental exercises differ as per the age and needs of the child and are affected by the setting of the earth, both inside and outside the family.

    Something in the Middle: Color Edition: Small Stories from the Far Side of Consciousness , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 605min
    A first-time author. A hotshot book editor. A whirlwind romance and a runaway bestseller nobody saw coming. The meteoric rise and sudden collapse of a cross-platform media empire. All of this - plus a basement full of undiscovered treasures left by former tenants - is thoughtfully unpacked and dusted off in this sideways collection of small, strange fictions. SITM is a light-hearted 44-story collection of mostly free-standing stories surrounding a framed narrative that explores how these tales were created.In SITM, A. I. Wand takes you on a journey with his unusual, sometimes poignant, often hilarious tales designed to surprise and delight. It pays gleeful tribute to legions of its science fiction, horror, satire, parody, and romantic forebears from the last century.The subtitle - Small Stories from the Far Side of Consciousness - alludes to the book's atypical architecture and often surreal tone. In the 1960s and 1970s, it may have been dubbed post-modern or even experimental, but today, SITM is happy just to think of itself as a grateful homage to its myriad inspirations, albeit one which falls two or three standard deviations from the mean.Many of these yarns could be confused with microfictions based upon their length, but they are part of a larger, cohesive arc that binds them all together. Many of the stories have Easter eggs or overt references to other stories. Drawing thematic elements from Aesop's Fables, The Twilight Zone, and classic Silver Screen horrors, these quirky, fast-paced fictions are also indebted to cartoons and comic strips, TV sit coms, and even to rock opera and pop music song suites.In SITM we encounter a diversity of characters - witches, a voodooist, a mad scientist, a demented surgeon, a sadistic psychiatrist, a crazy clown, and even pets. These fast, atmospheric stories are sometimes self-aware, sometimes break the fourth wall, and frequently deliver satisf ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Madison Niederhauser.

    Sex Position, Sex Talk, and Fetishes: How to Transform Your Sex Life Through Kama Sutra, Tantric Sex and Maximizing Orgasm. Master the Art of Sex , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 221min, (USK 18)
    When you realize that the vast majority of the Kama Sutra isn't generally sex, it turns out to be much more bizarre once you think a 2,000-year-old content keeps on having this impact on your sexual minds. The first Kama Sutra, as opposed to numerous hot and substantial sex manuals, is a philosophical book that gives experiences into a compensating life and fructuosity. It comes chiefly due to the idea of sex (and intriguing sex positions) as an ordinary and solid piece of life, to the extent sex is a handbook. This is a sex. (While queer sex and non-regularizing sex personalities are in the book, it is a very informative supposition that the peruser's essential sexual relationship is hetero) yet some place down the line (with something other than a little orientalism), the non-sexual parts of the Kama Sutra have been neglected, that is a very hetero-regulating book. Believe it or not, it's not primarily a sex manual. The Kama Sutra, accepted to be composed during the second or third century C.E. by the Hindu Vedic scholar Vatsyayana, is a guide for temperate living, loaded up with aphorisms on the idea of love and the significance of family life. It recounts finding a real existence accomplice and making an agreeable relationship, exploring the difficulties of extramarital connections, adjusting family and obligation and the need to bring home the bacon - just as an assortment of positions for sex. "Sutra" in Sanskrit implies treatise; "Kama" alludes to want, delight or sex. In this way: Treatise on want/pleasure/sex. For Vatsyayana, be that as it may, want/delight/sex holds an unexpected significance in comparison to for us world-weary moderns excessively acquainted with commoditized sex. Want, delight and sex in the Kama Sutra are contextualized, seen as a major aspect of a perspective wherein people move together in human expressions of affection and in families and in bigger systems o ungekürzt.

    Randy: The Full and Complete Unedited Biography and Memoir of the Amazing Life and Times of Randy S.!
    "This book is fucking awesome. It's my life's story. I'm thirty-four but look twenty-one. Maybe twenty-two at the most. I live in Maryland. Please read it. I'm a writer, a songwriter, an artist. I do it all. I'm an artist of life. I'm an adventurer, I'm the president of my development. Read the memoir. You won't be disappointed." A self-published memoir of a Maryland thirty-something found by author Mike Sacks at a garage sale in 2019 and re-published here for the first time. The memoir is written by the struggling poet and novelist Noah B., who is embedded in the mind and lifestyle of a perversely unexceptional American asshole named Randy. Like Pale Fire if it were about a Danny McBride-style fuckup, the story is both unmoored from time and eerily prescient of our own-one so stupid and unbelievable that it requires a writer like Sacks to bring it to light. "If you don't know who Mike Sacks is, well, you should. His writing is funnier than just about anyone's and now he has a podcast that is excellent. I say Hooray for Mike Sacks and everything he stands for." -David Sedaris "He's the best kind of comedy writer; a bona fide weirdo with virtually no interest in satisfying anything other than his own personal obsessions." -Andy Richter "Randy is a hilariously, unexpectedly poignant and eminently worthy addition to Sacks' sociological/anthropological exploration of the American Jackass and his curious ways. Audacious and inspired." -Nathan Rabin "The year's best memoir is about a man who shot a porno in a Baskin-Robbins." -Vice "Randy does more to explain certain unexpected turns in this nation's political fate over the last couple of years than a bazillion think-pieces in the New York Times, Atlantic, New Yorker, MSNBC." -John Colapinto (The New Yorker) "As the book's description alludes, Randy is an experiment in memoir, biography, and, well, sheer insanity." -Robobutt

    Consciousness and Being (eBook, ePUB)
    The question of the relation between mind and matter has been a long-standing problem for philosophy and science. Philosophy has offered a number of positions defining the nature of this relation consisting of various forms of dualism and monism or idealism and physicalism. However, these approaches do not adequately address the question of exactly how separate substances interact or how a single reality differentiates into seemingly distinct realms. Alternatively, many books have been written from the perspective of neuroscience explaining the structures and activities of the perceptual and nervous systems associated with various conscious experiences, yet all they really provide are correlations between the two. They do not tell us how or why physiological activity gives rise to subjective experience and its specific qualities. A third approach comes from the literature of the spiritual, which alludes to the possibility of a mystical union of subject and object, but such states are seemingly inaccessible to rational articulation. Consciousness and Being focuses on the unresolved questions at the heart of the mind-body problem: How and why does consciousness exist? How does subjective experience take on its specific appearance and qualities? What is the common ground of mind and matter such that they are capable of relation and unification? In addition, it argues that the desire to bridge the separation between subject and object is not merely an esoteric problem of interest to philosophers, but is in reality the issue that drives all forms of human desire and the development and activity of the universe. Topics include:How is consciousness possible? What is necessary for its existence? What is the fundamental relation between mind and body? Who or what has consciousness? What is the relation between consciousness and being?What is the underlying desire that drives the will to resolve the opposition of mind and matter? How are all individual human desires forms of this general desire? Does the universe exhibit desire and purpose in its development and activity?What constitutes conscious human experience of the inner and outer worlds? What are the elemental parameters of experience? How does experience develop in relation to the body? When are we aware and what is the function of consciousness?How does the subjective appearance of the world and its specific qualia develop in relation to the physical?What is knowledge and what is its role in overcoming the separation between subject and object?What is science and why do we need it? Are the natural sciences adequate to the study of consciousness? What do the measures of science tell us about the consciousness of material objects?What is the nature of consciousness and how can it be unified with its objects?

    Always
    For nearly two decades, Eric Krasno has been an omnipresent figure in popular music. Weve heard his virtuosic, innovative guitar playing with Soulive and Lettuce (both of which he co-founded), seen him onstage supporting the likes of the Rolling Stones, Dave Matthews Band, John Mayer and The Roots, watched him take home multiple GRAMMY Awards, and benefited from his deft, behind-the-scenes work as a producer and songwriter for everyone from Norah Jones, Tedeschi Trucks, and 50 Cent to Talib Kweli, Aaron Neville, and Allen Stone.In 2020, Eric already planned to venture into podcasting. The pandemic accelerated this process, resulting in the extremely well-received Eric Krasno Plus One podcast. Eric is the host of this interview-style series that brings listeners backstage and deep into the lives of incredible musicians, ranging from Dave Matthews, Derek Trucks and Branford Marsalis to Questlove, Ziggy Marley, John Mayer, and Robert Randolph.Erics new solo album Always, his first on Provogue, an imprint of Mascot Label Group, sees him venture into an elaborate mix of blues, funk, rock and soul a sunny, funky and laid back album combining the vibe of 1970s Laurel Canyon, swaths of Hammond B3 organ, a rhythm section that appear to be joined at the hip, and of course that punchy Eric Krasno guitar sound. It evokes the spirit of Sly Stone, DAngelo, Lenny Kravitz, and, dare we say his name, Prince? Always also alludes to the album cover, showing Erics wife, then pregnant with their now born son. This album is dedicated to them.
