    Inside the Hotel Rwanda: The Surprising True Story ... and Why It Matters Today
    In 2004, the Academy Award-nominated movie Hotel Rwanda lionized hotel manager Paul Rusesabagina for single-handedly saving the lives of all who sought refuge in the Hotel des Milles Collines during Rwanda's genocide against the Tutsi in 1994. Because of the film, the real-life Rusesabagina has been compared to Oskar Schindler, but unbeknownst to the public, the hotel's refugees don't endorse Rusesabagina's version of the events. In the wake of Hotel Rwanda's international success, Rusesabagina is one of the most well-known Rwandans and now the smiling face of the very Hutu Power groups who drove the genocide. He is accused by the Rwandan prosecutor general of being a genocide negationist and funding the terrorist group Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Rwanda (FDLR). In Inside the Hotel Rwanda, survivor Edouard Kayihura tells his own personal story of what life was really like during those harrowing 100 days within the walls of that infamous hotel and offers the testimonies of others who survived there, from Hutu and Tutsi to UN peacekeepers. Kayihura tells of his life in a divided society and his journey to the place he believed would be safe from slaughter. Inside the Hotel Rwanda exposes Paul Rusesabagina as a profiteering, politically ambitious Hutu Power sympathizer who extorted money from those who sought refuge, threatening to send those who did not pay to the genocidaires, despite pleas from the hotel's corporate ownership to stop. Inside the Hotel Rwanda is at once a memoir, a critical deconstruction of a heralded Hollywood movie alleged to be factual, and a political analysis aimed at exposing a falsely created hero using his fame to be a political force, spouting the same ethnic apartheid that caused the genocide two decades ago.

    The 60 Day Fat Burning Cookbook: A 60 Day Meal Plan That Turns Your Body into a Fat-Burning Furnace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 181min
    The concept of food is like Yin and Yang. Do you know Yin and Yang? Yin and Yang is a Chinese philosophy that describes how two seemingly opposite elements can actually be complementary or interdependent. Nature created food to be complementary so that balance can always be maintained. While some foods increase acidity, there are foods that help to neutralize acids. Some foods increase blood sugar while some naturally reduce blood sugar levels. There are foods that improve digestion just as there are foods like fiber that slow down digestion. If this balance wasn’t there naturally, many of us would be eating ourselves to death. The great thing is that just as there are foods that contribute to weight gain, there are some foods that naturally contain components that increase the rate at which your body burns fat. When you eat more of these foods, it literally turns your body into a fat-burning furnace because your body is forced to stop storing more fat and start burning the excess fats it had previously stored up.The key to fast and permanent weight loss is not starvation or slaving it out at the gym. Any fitness expert would tell you that weight loss is only 20 percent workout and 80 percent nutrition. The key to weight loss lies with what you eat and no, you don’t have to do all those crazy restrictive diets out there - don’t eat carbs, don’t eat fats, oh proteins are the enemy, don’t eat red meats...all of that is bullcrap really and sounds like being in nutritional prison. How long can you even do that for?Every macronutrient has its own unique benefit and contribution to your health and well-being so when they say don’t eat carbs or fats, they are asking you to eliminate all of the benefits that your body is supposed to get from that macronutrient which can expose your body to illnesses and diseases that may not be immediately visible. This is why no Doctor or Nutritionist would endorse any of those restrictive diets. You are supposed to eat a ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Shaniese Reyes.

    I Want to Be and Love My Autistic Self , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 50min
    Travis shares about his experiences with receiving help through autism services offered to him. He shares the effects of years of masking his autism and hiding who he truly is. He shares some of his experiences with applied behavior analysis as an adult. He talks about how he was ridiculed by staff and others in society for being who he was and having autistic traits. Travis shares the emotional pain and trauma that he feels has been created by years of masking his autism or hiding his true identity. He talks about the anxiety and depression that have been created as a result of masking it for so long. He shares his story of how his staff tries to discourage him from wanting the same things most human beings want in life because he is autistic. He talks about how behavior therapists only want to work on goals they have for Travis without taking into consideration goals Travis has for himself.Travis used to endorse applied behavior analysis before fully understanding the effects it has on an autistic person. Travis had a positive experience with a board-certified behavior analyst in his early 20s where they worked on conversation skills and talking to people, and he thought that was ABA therapy. It turns out what they were working on was not ABA therapy, and Travis didn't have what many autistic adults describe as the torture of ABA therapy with discreet trial training and numerous other things.As an adult, Travis receives the autism waiver for support services in which he does receive behavior therapy. His experience with behavior therapy has been that the therapist wants to change who he is as a person and that he is not allowed to be autistic. Being asked to mask his autism led Travis to believe he had to mask his autism with everyone. The stress and anxiety of masking really took a toll on Travis, and he finally decided he wasn't going to mask anymore.This audiobook is all about Travis releasing his autism and being who he truly is. ungekürzt.

    My darkest secret? I let a stranger dominate me in the most intimate way possible. He gave me three things that night: His first name, the sweet taste of submission, and his baby. Now my Dom is back and this time he won’t stop until I’m his. Kylie One wild and reckless night changed my life three years ago. I got a taste of what it meant to be with a real man—how just a whisper could ignite my desire, and his commanding voice could have me kneeling at his feet in submission. He was my everything and I only knew him for a few hours. But like everything good in my life, it went up in flames. When I learned the truth about him, I ran as fast as I could. I’d like to think I would’ve stayed if I knew about the baby… but I doubt even that would’ve stopped me, not after what I learned. Damian It has been three years since she got away. Three f*cking years. I knew she was mine from the moment I saw her. I had to have her. To touch her. For one night, I owned her submission and she loved every second. I finally found her again. There’s not a chance in hell she’s going to slip away this time. Not again. Not ever. I’m going to bring her into my world. I’ll give her everything she wants and all the things she didn’t even know she needs. She’ll be crying out my name. She’ll be dreaming of spankings, handcuffs, and blindfolds. I’m going to dominate her in every way imaginable. Mind, body, and soul. Especially her body. But it’s not going to be as simple as I thought because she has a son now… my son. *As always, this is a totally SAFE, full length book with a happily ever after, no cheating, and plenty of steam. *The cover model, Travis D. does not in any way endorse the content of this book.  ungekürzt.

    A Swim in a Pond in the Rain
    NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the Booker Prize-winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo and Tenth of December comes a literary master class on what makes great stories work and what they can tell us about ourselves-and our world today. LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/DIAMONSTEIN-SPIELVOGEL AWARD • ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, NPR, Time, San Francisco Chronicle, Esquire, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Town & Country, The Rumpus, Electric Lit, Thrillist, BookPage • "[A] worship song to writers and readers."-Oprah Daily For the last twenty years, George Saunders has been teaching a class on the Russian short story to his MFA students at Syracuse University. In A Swim in a Pond in the Rain, he shares a version of that class with us, offering some of what he and his students have discovered together over the years. Paired with iconic short stories by Chekhov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, and Gogol, the seven essays in this book are intended for anyone interested in how fiction works and why it's more relevant than ever in these turbulent times. In his introduction, Saunders writes, "We're going to enter seven fastidiously constructed scale models of the world, made for a specific purpose that our time maybe doesn't fully endorse but that these writers accepted implicitly as the aim of art-namely, to ask the big questions, questions like, How are we supposed to be living down here? What were we put here to accomplish? What should we value? What is truth, anyway, and how might we recognize it?" He approaches the stories technically yet accessibly, and through them explains how narrative functions; why we stay immersed in a story and why we resist it; and the bedrock virtues a writer must foster. The process of writing, Saunders reminds us, is a technical craft, but also a way of training oneself to see the world with new openness and curiosity. A Swim in a Pond in the Rain is a deep exploration not just of how great writing works but of how the mind itself works while reading, and of how the reading and writing of stories make genuine connection possible.

    TotallyU: A Source of Truth - A Career Professional's State of Mind in the Pursuit of Meaning (eBook, ePUB)
    The degrees and certificates say we are achievers. So far, the trajectory of our professional journey says otherwise. The moment we start working, a repetitive career cycle begins with a psychological construct of the human mind and the mutual dependencies with organizational entities at each distinctive stage. A dynamic experience throws the career professional into emotional disarray and confusion to find central existence, meaningfulness, and importance in their work environment. Subconsciously we acquire the state of mind of an Achiever, Drifter, or Defeater. Rather than viewed as a passive recipient, acting on impulse unintentionally to make sense of the career cycle, we have a responsibility to become aware of and understand our source of truth of our state of mind. Scientific appropriations on different degrees of validity and accuracy do not medicate our reality as we proactively chase the transition to a well-functioning desired stage and not surrender.The career cycle is subjective. It embraces career shifts and status adjustments for some of us who do not experience emotional discomfort, who do not need to change but want to change, and those who desire meaningfulness and are ready to shift position on the cycle. As the cycle turns, this shift produces positive and negative emotional thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Emotions needed to motivate and regulate our career "burners" away from one state to another. With a high level of accountability and commitment for a healthy state of mind, the TotallyU concept, an innovative approach to personal awareness, solidifies any constructive plan that preserves a career professional's identity. Each unique role assumed gives a fresh perspective. A clear state of mind provides lightness and maturity we never had before to deal with work-related psychological experiences and awaken career possibilities for exponential emotional growth with our place of work. This book intends to help career professionals endorse and make a more profound connection with their career fallacy. Nevertheless, no matter how structured and reinforced an emotional experience is in thinking, feeling, responding, relating, and performing in their careers - no one on the career cycle is safe from a psychological impact.
