    Nineteen-year-old April Wilton has just enlisted in the WRENs in Portsmouth, where she works servicing engines on ships. She finds herself immersed in dockyard life and surrounded by soldiers - from England and America. The atmosphere is one of spontaneity and impulsiveness, brought on by the unpredictability of war. So when April meets Daniel, a young American soldier, whose mother is Sioux and father is of African descent, she doesn't hesitate when she starts to fall for him. The attraction is immediate, and coming from strict racial segregation in South Carolina, Daniel finds the freedom he has in England overwhelming. Daniel and April endeavour to spend as much time together as possible - every moment is precious with the threat of Daniel being sent to fight overseas looming over them.

    Everything you never knew about sushi: its surprising origins, the colorful lives of its chefs, and the bizarre behavior of the creatures that compose it. Trevor Corson takes us behind the scenes at America's first sushi-chef training academy, as eager novices strive to master the elusive art of cooking without cooking.

He reveals the pioneers who brought sushi to the United States and explores how this unlikely meal is exploding into the American heartland just as the long-term future of sushi may be unraveling.

    Eine Schweineniere im Hundenapf, unerklärliche Asthmaattacken und manipulierte Autobremsen: Die Familie von Max Querchers alter Schulfreundin Nina Poschner, einer reichen Pharmaerbin, wird massiv bedroht. Nina vermutet einen Schweizer Unternehmer hinter den Vorkommnissen, der unter allen Umständen die Arzneimittelfirma ihres Vaters übernehmen möchte. Quercher und seine Kollegen vom LKA hingegen glauben, dass die Ursache für die Übergriffe in Ninas politischem Engagement liegt: Sie will am See ein Internat für Migranten aufziehen und "Gottes Warteraum", wie die Gegend von Spöttern bezeichnet wird, mit Flüchtlingen aus aller Welt verjüngen. Das wiederum stößt im konservativen Tegernseer Tal auf wenig Gegenliebe. Doch als Quercher herausfindet, dass Nina vor Jahren in Afrika dubiose Testreihen für ein Mittel gegen Cholera zu verantworten hatte und dafür den Tod von Menschen billigend in Kauf nahm, beginnt er, an den edlen Motiven seiner Schulfreundin zu zweifeln. Allerdings steht auch seine eigene Glaubwürdigkeit auf dem Prüfstand, da er zunehmend an Wahnvorstellungen und Panikattacken leidet. Das bleibt seiner Umgebung nicht verborgen...

    Meet the women who haven't asked for permission from Silicon Valley to chase their dreams. They are going for it - building the next generation of tech start-ups, investing in each other's ventures, crushing male hacker stereotypes, and rallying the next generation of women in tech. Geek Girl Rising isn't about the famous tech trailblazers you already know, like Sheryl Sandberg and Marissa Mayer. Instead veteran journalists Heather Cabot and Samantha Walravens introduce listeners to the fearless female entrepreneurs and technologists fighting at the grassroots level for an ownership stake in the revolution that's changing the way we live, work, and connect to each other. Listeners will meet Debbie Sterling, inventor of GoldieBlox, the first engineering toy for girls, which topples the notion that only boys can build. They'll get a peek inside YouTube sensation Michelle Phan's ipsy studios, where she is grooming the next generation of digital video stars while leading her own mega e-commerce beauty business. They will sit down with Tracy Chou, former lead software developer at Pinterest, whose public urging in 2013 helped push Silicon Valley tech giants to reveal the tiny number of women in their ranks, propelling the "women in tech" conversation to front pages. They will tour the headquarters of The Muse, the hottest career site for millennials, and meet its intrepid CEO, Kathryn Minshew, who stared down sexism while raising millions of dollars to fund the company she cofounded. And they will journey around the country to meet a new crop of female investors, including Theresia Gouw and Kathryn Finney, who are infusing women-led tech start-ups with much needed capital. These women are the rebels proving that a female point of view matters in the age of technology and can rock big returns. At a time when women hold 26 percent of computing jobs in the United States and make up a tiny fraction of the entrepreneurs launching new tech companie ungekürzt. Language: English.
