Jade's Dragon: The Red Petticoat Saloon , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 370min
Cast out of China, Chin knows all about how hard life in a foreign country can be, especially for a woman on her own. Given the name Jade and a job packing in the crowd as an exotic dancer at the Red Petticoat, Chin thinks she's finally carved a safe and secure place for herself when, looking out across the dance hall, she spies the son of the man who murdered her family. Panicking, she flees into the night, into the worst storm in living memory. Struggling on a failing ranch, neither Cullen Drake nor his brother Garrett has any idea how to combat the illness ravaging their herd. But the night Cullen finds himself slogging after sick cows during the worst storm in California's history, he happens to be in the right place at the right time. At first, he thinks it's a child he's rescued from a flashflood. It's not until he gets her home that he realizes Chin is every inch a woman grown...and a woman on the run. Chin knows better than anyone the risks of staying too long in one place or letting people get too close. Yet the harder she tries to escape, the worse off she becomes until finally, sick and wounded, she finds herself unable to run. Her past is closing in, but Cullen has a past of his own and a fearsome determination to protect her, whether she wants him to or not. Having been a bad man once himself, he knows he can handle whatever - or whoever - has Chin so afraid. Unfortunately for her, he also knows how to handle young ladies more interested in running than behaving. Disclaimer: This book contains the spanking of adult women and sexual scenes. ungekürzt.

Do you want to lose weight easily and painlessly? Have you given up on trying to get your college body back? Are you ready to make a change in your life?If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this book may be just what you need to change your life.Simply put, intermittent fasting (IF) is the practice of restricting your mealtimes to certain times or days of the week.

Lopaschuk, it was proven that intermittent fasting enables a person to lose up to eight percent of their body weight over a period of three months.If you needed more convincing, the Nutrition and Metabolism journal published an article in 2014 by Dominik H. Pesta and Varman T. Samuel which outlined how intermittent fasting was instrumental in increasing your metabolic rate while reducing insulin resistance. So, rather than slogging it out at the gym for hours, all you’ll need to do is just switch up your mealtimes.Sounds simple doesn’t it?Well, it really is.With this easy-to-understand audiobook, you get to know more about:Four ways how intermittent fasting can help you burn off weight (while letting you sculpt the body of your dreams)Steps to build a lifestyle founded on good habits to lose weight quickly and sustainablyThree of the most common mistakes beginners make when they first start intermittent fasting (and how you can avoid falling into the same trap)Seven intermittent fasting hacks to help you crush unhealthy cravingsEight of the most common weight-loss related myths (and why they are all untrue)Reasons why intermittent fasting is the fastest, most effective way to lose weight (and how it can also benefit your mental health)Three tips to help you get started on your first fast (and how you can trick your body into living without ungekürzt.

Want to start your own business...but don't know where to start?As a newbie entrepreneur, starting a business has hundreds of hidden pitfalls and hurdles that can trip you up at any moment. Maybe it's the idea that sucks, the business model, or the market that is not ready. Perhaps it is founder disagreements, or you run out of money too early and fail to raise the necessary capital...the list goes on.While you can't guarantee success, you can certainly put yourself in the best position for success. The main reason newbies fail is poor preparation. They didn't have a plan. They weren't ready for the challenges.

Peaky Blinders: A History from Beginning to End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 62min
Discover the remarkable history of the Peaky Blinders.... Peaky Blinders is a popular BBC television series about an organized crime family in post-World War I Birmingham, England, but does this series depict the factual history of Birmingham? As it turns out, there were Peaky Blinders in Birmingham, and they terrorized those streets long before World War I. The Peaky Blinders rose to prominence in the overcrowded and unsanitary conditions of late Victorian Birmingham in the 1870s. Their ranks were composed of the working poor — trade union members who were fiercely loyal to each other — children who had no place else to go, and career criminals. Just how organized they became and the exact extent of their involvement in crimes other than street fighting and assault is a subject of some debate, but they did build a fierce reputation as violent criminals that plagued the citizens of this industrial city for a little over a decade. The Peaky Blinders were well-known for both their stylish clothing and their violent nature. No man, woman, or child was safe when they were on the prowl. The Peaky Blinders left a profound impression on the city they terrorized, and over 150 years later, their legend lives on in film and song. This book tells their story, from the early days of the slogging gangs to the end of the Peaky Blinder era in the lead up to World War I. Discover a plethora of topics such as Birmingham, the birthplace of the Peaky BlindersRise of the Peaky BlindersMob ruleThe law strikes backThe end of an eraThe world moves on: World War IAnd much more!So if you want a concise and informative book on the Peaky Blinders, simply scroll up and click the "Buy Now" button for instant access! ungekürzt.

If It's a Choice, My Zygote Chose Balls: Making Sense of Senseless Controversy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 480min
Jeremy Hooper is known for blending passion and wit, making the case for LGBT equality worldwide. In If It's a Choice, My Zygote Chose Balls: Making Sense of Senseless Controversy, Jeremy continues that style, blending a unique mix of memoir and social commentary that argues for equal rights based on relatable human principles. Hooper leads readers through his own life story, revealing the positive and unnecessarily encumbered aspects of growing up gay in contemporary society. The noted author and activist writes in a sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, but always sharply informed style, opening a window into the realities of family rejection and acceptance. Whether offering direct guidance for would-be straight allies or sharing the inner monologue of a boy who knew who he was long before early adulthood would allow him to own it, Hooper provides a wealth of insight and argument to push the equality conversation forward. As someone who spends 10 to 12 daily hours slogging through the "culture war" for his celebrated website, Jeremy Hooper knows better than anyone how far the LGBT community still has to go in order to obtain full equality. At the same time, his focused lens led him to believe that some of the usual LGBT activism has isolated the fight and stories, leaving much of the continued struggle to go unrealized by the population at large. So Hooper's answer is to present relatable tales that are just as proactive in changing hearts and minds as any textbook gay rights treatment, but doing so in a package that pops with universal heart and wit. Hooper calls out the "B.S." for what it is, while keeping an equal focus on uniting folks from all walks of life for the common causes of peace, equality, acceptance, and, ironically enough - family values. All of this while remembering to keep his tongue in or around the cheek region. Written to engage and entertain, as well as inspire further discussion and action, th ungekürzt. Language: English.

The O Line Mystery Shorts, Book 10 (Dramatized), Hörbuch, Digital, 76min
The O Line Mystery Shorts books 1 through 11 comprise the complete dramatization of the mystery series of short stories. Originally released as podcasts, they have been remastered for audiobook listening. Book 10 features the following episodes: 41, "Greed and Loathing"; 42, "Red, White, and Scotch"; 43, "The Elderly Renegades"; and 44, "Trust Building". Set on Ohlone Island in the San Francisco Bay, island inhabitants Lorna and Annie have a penchant for discovering fraud, corruption, and murder. In episode 41, "Greed and Loathing", Michael and Sally follow their suspects giving Lorna time to think and prepare her own special way. When Michael's suspect turns up dead there is only one conclusion, and thanks to Lorna's preparedness training they lose no time in chasing down their only lead. Episode 42, "Red, White, and Scotch", is their final push to find Annie's contact. The women end up in a foreign land, slogging through the snow and confusion as Michael directs them via a satellite phone to a bullet-riddled former CIA safe house. But the safe house is where the real chase - through the streets of Prague - begins. Just when they think it is over, in episode 43, "The Elderly Renegades", there are clandestine services, corporate contractors, and the Russians chasing them and the device, so the women make some snap decisions that could cost another life. After Lorna deploys her diversionary tactics so Annie and Sally can escape to safety, Annie takes a page from Lorna's preparedness lectures and doesn't lose hope and continues to prepare for their next steps. Then in episode 44, "Trust Building", with their trust in one another on shaky ground anyway, Michael, Sally, and Annie are on their way to Virginia to be debriefed. And in Roberta's attempt to build trust again with Lorna, she asks for help in creating an Island Watch and puts Lorna on a police ride along to disastrous results when the police officers have other p Language: English.

Impostor Syndrome
A Good Morning America Buzz Pick * Named A Best Book of Summer by Entertainment Weekly, New York Post, Buzzfeed, TheSkimm, PopSugar, Bustle, HelloGiggles, Ms. Magazine, Oprah Daily, USA Today, Philadelphia Inquirer, Lit Hub * Named A Most Anticipated Book of 2021 by The Millions, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire, Crimereads A sharp and prescient novel about women in the workplace, the power of Big Tech, and the looming threat of foreign espionage from Kathy Wang, "a skilled satirist of the northern California dream” (Harper's Bazaar) In 2006 Julia Lerner is living in Moscow, a recent university graduate in computer science, when she's recruited by Russia's largest intelligence agency. By 2018 she's in Silicon Valley as COO of Tangerine, one of America's most famous technology companies. In between her executive management (make offers to promising startups, crush them and copy their features if they refuse); self promotion (check out her latest op-ed in the WSJ, on Work/Life Balance 2.0); and work in gender equality (transfer the most annoying females from her team), she funnels intelligence back to the motherland. But now Russia's asking for more, and Julia's getting nervous. Alice Lu is a first generation Chinese American whose parents are delighted she's working at Tangerine (such a successful company!). Too bad she's slogging away in the lower echelons, recently dumped, and now sharing her expensive two-bedroom apartment with her cousin Cheri, a perennial "founder's girlfriend”. One afternoon, while performing a server check, Alice discovers some unusual activity, and now she's burdened with two powerful but distressing suspicions: Tangerine's privacy settings aren't as rigorous as the company claims they are, and the person abusing this loophole might be Julia Lerner herself. The closer Alice gets to Julia, the more Julia questions her own loyalties. Russia may have placed her in the Valley, but she's the one who built her career; isn't she entitled to protect the lifestyle she's earned? Part page-turning cat-and-mouse chase, part sharp and hilarious satire, Impostor Syndrome is a shrewdly-observed examination of women in tech, Silicon Valley hubris, and the rarely fulfilled but ever-attractive promise of the American Dream.- Shop: buecher

The Handsome Lady and Other Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 311min
“They went slogging up to the churchyard gate all right, but when they got to staggering along ’tween the gravestones Mark thought he could see a something white sitting in the poorch, but the sailor couldn’t see anything at all with that lump on his shoulders."What’s that there"? Mark whispers in Pat’s ear. And Pat Crowe whispers back, just for joking: "Old Nick in his nightshirt"."Steady now", Mark whispers, "go steady Pat, it’s getting up and coming". Pat only gives a bit of a chuckle and says: "Ah, that’s him, that’s just like him".“Then Levi calls out from the poorch soft like: "You got him then! Is he a fat ’un"?"Holy God", cried the sailor, ‘it is the devil"! and he chucks poor Mark over his back at Levi’s feet and runs for his mortal life. He was the most frittened of the lot ’cos he hadn’t believed in anything at all - but there it was. And just as he gets to the gate he sees someone else coming along in the dark carrying a something on its shoulder - it was Impey wi’ the sheep. "Powers above", cried Pat Crowe, "it’s the Day of Judgment come for sartin"! And he went roaring the news up street like a madman, and Impey went off somewheres too - but I dunno where Impey went.“Well, poor old Mark laid on the ground, he were a game old cock, but he could hardly speak, he was strook dazzled. And Levi was frittened out of his life in the darkness and couldn’t make anythink out of nothink. He just creeps along to Mark and whispers: "Who be that? Who be that"? And old Mark looks up very timid, for he thought his last hour was on him, and he says: "Be that you, Satan"? Drackly Levi heard that all in a onexpected voice he jumped quicker en my neighbour’s flea. He gave a yell bigger nor Pat Crowe and he bolted too. But as he went he dropped the little tin canister and old Mark picked it up. And he shook the canister, and he heerd money in it, and then something began to dawn on him, for he knowed how his brot ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Doug Greene.

Big Bang
'Little more than a year old--they played their first show in January 2009--the Maybenauts have the sort of imaginative arrangements (glam-rock to psychedelic pop), sophisticated melodies (three-part vocal harmonies a specialty) and cohesive vision (think of a '60s go-go bacchanal in outer space) lacking in many power-pop groups that have been slogging it out for a decade or more.' -- Jim DeRogatis, Chicago Sun Times "The Maybenauts are pure awesomeness. This Chicago four-piece belts out bouncy, sugary, pop rock that you cannot get out of your head. They even have a panda! This is a band not to be ignored, local radio stations like Q101 and 93 XRT are already paying attention and playing their super catchy track "My Head is a Bomb," so what are you wanting for?" -- Audrey Leon, Loud Loop Press.- Shop: odax
