    When NYPD detective Marie Reinhart met Nessa Roth, a Manhattan socialite and dabbler in the occult, sparks flew. Then came the gunfire. Nessa and Marie are the Witch and her Knight, characters from a fairy tale brought to life and trapped in an endless curse: to meet, fall in love, and be torn from each other’s arms by violent death, again and again for all eternity. Now they have one slim chance to escape their doom. It lies in Wisdom's Grave, the resting-place of the first witch who ever lived, and the wellspring of magic. To find it, they’ll have to cross over 2,000 miles of hostile territory from New York to Las Vegas, pursued by the law, the criminal underworld, and a cult of demonic bounty hunters. Their enemies have political power and an army of ruthless assassins. They have a book of black magic, a Cadillac, and a gun. The American heartland is about to become a war zone. And as portals to other worlds tear open, showing the way to secrets buried since the dawn of time, Nessa and Marie prepare to make their final stand. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Programming the Perl DBI (eBook, ePUB)
    One of the greatest strengths of the Perl programming language is its ability to manipulate large amounts of data. Database programming is therefore a natural fit for Perl, not only for business applications but also for CGI-based web and intranet applications.The primary interface for database programming in Perl is DBI. DBI is a database-independent package that provides a consistent set of routines regardless of what database product you use--Oracle, Sybase, Ingres, Informix, you name it. The design of DBI is to separate the actual database drivers (DBDs) from the programmer's API, so any DBI program can work with any database, or even with multiple databases by different vendors simultaneously.Programming the Perl DBI is coauthored by Alligator Descartes, one of the most active members of the DBI community, and by Tim Bunce, the inventor of DBI. For the uninitiated, the book explains the architecture of DBI and shows you how to write DBI-based programs. For the experienced DBI dabbler, this book reveals DBI's nuances and the peculiarities of each individual DBD.The book includes:An introduction to DBI and its designHow to construct queries and bind parametersWorking with database, driver, and statement handlesDebugging techniquesCoverage of each existing DBDA complete reference to DBIThis is the definitive book for database programming in Perl.

    The Master of All Desires , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1169min
    From the novelist with Antonia Fraser's authenticity and Anne Rice's allure comes another "highly enjoyable romp" (Newsday), with a millennial twist. In The Oracle Glass and The Serpent Garden, Judith Merkle Riley enchanted listeners with rich, pause-resisting re-creations of eras past, wicked thumbnail sketches of power players, riotous action, delicious mystery and romance, luminous prose, and feisty heroines with a feminist sensibility. The Master of All Desires has it all, with an extra helping of the occult, clad in Riley's hallmark style and wit. It is 1556 and the queen's astrologer, the prophet Nostradamus has uncovered a secret that could destroy the kingdom of France. The queen, Catherine de Medicis, a dabbler in black magic, has decided to get rid of the king's mistress by seeking out the legendary Undying Head of Menander the Magus, known as the Master of All Desires. But she does not know that evil befalls all those who wish upon this accursed object. And the head, in its coffer, has fallen into the possession of a charming, wryly perceptive but stubborn young woman: Sybille Artaud de la Roche, a bluestocking poet who needs it to obtain all her desires...beauty, genius, and a dashing, intelligent cavalier. The three-way battle that ensues - a prophet who scorns poetry, a woman in love, and a sly and ruthless queen - is set against the rich, detailed tapestry of a nation on the verge of civil war and a lively constellation of famous figures clustered around Nostradamus, seer of the millennium. ungekürzt.

    Be Enlightened: A Practical Guide: Learning the Essential Skills to Save Our Planet , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 547min
    Be Enlightened provides a clear description of what enlightenment is and how to attain it. Be Enlightened is a companion book to Dr. Zach’s guided meditation app, entitled the Journey to Enlightenment, which is available on the App Store or Google Play. Be Enlightened is the cognitive part of your journey to enlightenment and the app, Journey to Enlightenment, is your experiential part. The two together make up a very powerful package. Whether you are a serious meditator, a dabbler in meditation, or one who has never meditated before and now wants to get more serious about it, you will find this book invaluable. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, if you want to become enlightened and help yourself to be transformed, you have come to the right place. Achieving enlightenment is probably the most important objective you can strive for, not only to increase your own level of happiness and well-being but to help all of humanity and the planet as well. How does this help our planet? Albert Einstein stated, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.” That is why through meditation we can change our level of consciousness, which helps us produce new innovative ideas to guide us in creating a better, more sustainable world. The author challenges you to join him in this endeavor. This book was not created to present a purely cognitive treatise on enlightenment, even though there are lots of valuable and insightful information provided here. However, it is Dr. Zach’s sole objective to help you actually achieve enlightenment. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Dr. Zachary Berk.
