But he was raised conservatively, and Seb is so much younger than he is, not to mention the seeming impropriety in the way it would look if he was to be seen dating a student. But when David runs into Seb at a mixer for The Billionaire Club, however, he can’t help but see Seb in a new light. In the end, he has to decide. Is playing by someone else’s rules worth missing out on his chance at real love?Welcome to The Billionaire Club, where men of certain means are able to match themselves with high quality singles who agree to a relationship bound by contract.

    My Life to Live: How I Became the Queen of Soaps When Men Ruled the Airwaves , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 504min
    From the Emmy-winning writer and creator of All My Children, One Life to Live, and Loving, a memoir of her trailblazing rise to the top of the television industry, including behind-the-scenes stories from some of the most beloved soaps of all time. Before there was Erica Kane, Adam Chandler, or Victoria Lord, there was Agnes Nixon, a young girl who dreamed up stories for paper dolls. Those tales she imagined - ones filled with ambitions, rivalries, and romances - would soon echo her own path to success. In a memoir filled with as much drama as the soaps she penned, Nixon shares her journey as daughter of a broken marriage who fought back against her father's wish that she take over the family burial garments business, overcame the heartbreak of losing her fiancé in WWII, and later became one of the most successful names in the TV industry. Fans of Nixon's greatest creations, All My Children and One Life to Live, will delight at Nixon's own incredible life as well as the behind-the-scenes insight she lends to daytime's most popular programs. Nixon will share the inspiration behind and casting of the iconic character Erica Kane, played by Susan Lucci; the story bible for All My Children, and how it became lost and then locked away in a drawer for many years; and how Nixon positioned ABC to become the media giant it is today, despite pushback from her male counterparts. This candid glimpse behind the curtain of the soap opera industry will charm soap fans and story lovers alike. With a foreword written and read by Carol Burnett. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Four Shades of Gray
    This first book-length analysis of Amazon's Kindle explores the platform's technological, bibliographical, and social impact on publishing. Four Shades of Gray offers the first book-length analysis of Amazon's Kindle and its impact on publishing. Simon Peter Rowberry recounts how Amazon built the infrastructure for a new generation of digital publications, then considers the consequences of having a single company control the direction of the publishing industry. Exploring the platform from the perspectives of technology, texts, and uses, he shows how the Kindle challenges traditional notions of platforms as discrete entities. He argues that Amazon's influence extends beyond "disruptive technology" to embed itself in all aspects of the publishing trade; yet despite industry pushback, he says, the Kindle has had a positive influence on publishing. Rowberry documents the first decade of the Kindle with case studies of Kindle Popular Highlights, an account of the digitization of books published after 1922, and a discussion of how Amazon's patent filings reflect a shift in priorities. Rowberry argues that while it was initially convenient for the book trade to outsource ebook development to Amazon, doing so has had adverse consequences for publishers in the mid- and long term, limiting opportunities for developing an inclusive and forward-thinking digital platform. While it has forced publishers to embrace digital forms, the Kindle has also empowered some previously marginalized readerships. Although it is still too early to judge the long-term impact of ebooks compared with that of the older technologies of clay tablets, the printing press, and offset printing, the shockwaves of the Kindle continue to shape publishing.

    Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick: The History of the Gilded Age’s Most Controversial Business Partnership , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 161min
    The term robber baron has largely fallen into disuse in the 21st century but there was a time when it was a popular epithet that described the kind of man who, it was believed, built his fortune by taking things belonging to others. The Gilded Age and the dawn of the 20th century are often remembered as an era full of monopolies, trusts, and economic giants in heavy industries like oil and steel. Men like Andrew Carnegie built empires like Carnegie Steel, and financiers like J.P. Morgan merged and consolidated them. The era also made names like Astor, Cooke, and Vanderbilt instantly recognizable across the globe. Over time, the unfathomable wealth generated by the businesses made the individuals on top incredibly rich, and that in turn led to immense criticism and an infamous epithet used to rail against them: robber barons. The industrial might wielded by men like Gould in the late-19th century directly led to a public backlash and made President Teddy Roosevelt the “trust buster”, and there have since been countless regulations to attempt to avoid the types of monopolies found over 100 years ago. However, many 20th century historians and writers pushed back against the allegations hurled at the “robber barons” and even took issue with the name. For example, Libertarian writer John Stossel argued, “They weren't robbers, because they didn't steal from anyone, and they weren't barons - they were born poor...” Dozens of these men would be pilloried as “robber barons,” but few of them were as wealthy or influential as Andrew Carnegie, who built America’s foremost steel empire. Ironically, Carnegie epitomized the American Dream, migrating with his poor family to America in the mid-19th century and rising to the top of the business world in his adopted country. A prodigious writer in addition to his keen sense of business, Carnegie was one of the most outspoken champions of capitalism at a time when there was pushback among lower social classes who witne ungekürzt.

    Come What May: The Malone Novels, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 504min
    A spellbinding tale of deceit, betrayal, dark choices, and murder that reviewers describe as "gripping", "full of suspense and thrills", and "hard to put down". Inspired by a shocking true story, Come What May, the debut book in the new Ben Malone detective mystery series, is a high-stakes thrill ride through the gritty underbelly of the City of Angels. Hollywood Division detective Ben Malone is caught up in a run of bad luck. The worst of it, his unfortunate entanglement in three separate fatal on-duty shootings in less than a year at a time when activists are protesting the use of deadly force by police and provoking riots all over the country. The spate of shootings has his LAPD superiors spooked and questioning his judgment. Is Malone too quick to use deadly force? Relieved from street duty, Malone is sequestered in Robbery-Homicide Division's Cold Case Homicide Section to keep him under wraps while he undergoes department-mandated psychiatric evaluation. His work-related problems compounded by a vindictive ex-wife intent on bleeding him dry financially sends Malone into a spiral of depression that soon has him drinking too much in the attempt to cope. Initially resentful over his reassignment to the cold case section, Malone's attitude starts to change when his new partner, Jaime Reyes, introduces him to the files of a cold as ice, 23-year-old unsolved murder case. The decades-old murder doesn't fit the unit's criteria for reopening a cold case for active investigation, but the more Malone studies the case, the more obsessed he becomes with trying to solve it. He and Reyes embark on an off-the-books investigation that predictably creates even more problems. Especially for Malone. Pushback from powerful forces both inside and outside the LAPD determined to keep the truth buried with the corpse gets intense. But even when things get personal, Malone becomes only more committed to solving the case, come what may. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Hanko.

    PilotsEYE.tv 11. Hongkong
    FLUGBESCHREIBUNG PilotsEYE.tv zeigt in Folge 11 "Typhoon warning" erstmals den gesamten Umlauf eines neuen Boeing-777-Frachters, auf dem Weg ins asiatische Drehkreuz Hongkong Der Drehort für die neueste Ausgabe von PilotsEYE.tv ist das Cockpit einer Boeing 777 "Freighter". Der Flug verspricht nicht nur atemberaubende Bilder sondern auch ein Wiedersehen mit einem bekannten Gesicht aus der Malediven- und Nordpolfolge (LTU): Joe Moser, Chefpilot und Direktor Flight-Operations bei AeroLogic, einem Joint Venture von DHL Express und Lufthansa Cargo. Chek Lap Kok, der 1998 eröffnete Flughafen Hongkongs, ist mit jährlich 53 Mio. Passagieren die Nr. 12 weltweit. Von dort kann die Hälfte aller Menschen der Erde in fünf Stunden erreicht werden und er beherbergt das größte Fracht-Terminal der Welt. Für das Fundament des Airports wurde eine angrenzende Insel abgetragen. Mit täglich 1000 Starts und Landungen hat er Frankfurter Ausmaße. Neuer Blick - vom Bugfahrwerk zurück Als technischen Neuerungen kommen in diesem Film gleich gleich drei zusätzliche Kameras zum Einsatz: Zwei erfassen den Blick über die äußere Schulter, der die Bewegung am Steuerhorn und die Fluglage gleichzeitig zeigt. Die dritte neue Kamera ermöglicht einen faszinierenden Ausblick vom ausgefahrenen Bugfahrwerk nach hinten auf die Turbinen und das Hauptfahrwerk, während Start und Landung. Atemberaubend. No-Fun mit diesem Taifun Die Wettervorhersage prophezeit - für die Ankunftszeit in HKG (ICAO: VHHH) - eine stark ansteigende "Tropical Depression", die sich an diesen Orten schnell bis zu einem Hurrikan entwickeln kann. Wird dieser Wirbelsturm die Landung in Hongkong verzögern oder gar unmöglich machen? Die Ruhe des Kapitäns macht zumindest Mut: "Wir fliegen da mal hin und schauen uns das aus der Nähe an". Klappe zu! Es ist nur ein kurzer Boxenstopp, der auf dem Weg nach Hongkong in Bergamo (Norditalien) eingelegt wird. Weil jede Minute zählt, kommt das Flugzeug bereits vollgetankt aus Leipzig. Da kann es schon mal passieren, dass nach der Beladung auf das Schließen einer Flugzeugtür vergessen wird. Glücklicherweise gibt es dafür eine Menge Sicherheitsvorkehrungen. Hart aber fair Mit 30.000 Flugstunden und 39 aktiven Dienstjahren gehört er zu den dienstältesten Flugkapitänen der Branche. In seinem bekannt brummigen, aber respektvollen Ton und vor allem mit seinem messerscharfen Können, führt er die junge Crew präzise und unterhaltsam nach Asien. "Wenn ich mir einen Ausbilder aussuchen könnte, es wäre Joe Moser", lautet ein Kommentar, den man regelmäßig in den Internetforen bei Facebook und YouTube zu lesen bekommt. Das Second Officer Programm "Ohne Risiko und ohne lange Wartezeiten", so kann man das - in Deutschland einzigartige - Nachwuchsprogramm der Fracht-Fluglinie AeroLogic nennen. Die zurzeit 20 Second Officers (SO) sind fertig ausgebildete Piloten mit wenigen Flugstunden. Mit ein paar speziellen Auflagen haben sie die Chance, von Beginn an auf den ganz großen Mustern zu fliegen. Die Route Leipzig (DE) . München . Innsbruck (AT) . Bergamo (IT) . Mailand . Wien (AT) . Budapest (HU) . Bukarest (RO) . Simferopol (UA) . Baku (AZ) . Ashgabat (TM) . Kabul (AF) . Delhi (IN) . Dhaka (BD) Katha (MM) . Kunming (CN) . Longzhou . Guangzhou . Hongkong. This city never sleeps Hongkong (¿¿) oder übersetzt "Duftender Hafen" ist die Kulisse für den Landurlaub der Crew, die uns einen der schönsten Aussichtspunkte, den Victoria Peak, mit Blick auf Kowloon und den alten Flughafen Kai Tak zeigt. Per Regenbogen-Fähre und auf der längsten Rolltreppe der Welt geht es ins Nachtleben und in einen Insider Club für Aviation-Crews. Als die Crew danach auch noch viele bunte Lichter sieht, steht sie bereits im Hafen und bewundert die atemberaubende Lichtshow für Touristen. Cargo motzt nicht, ... ... Cargo kotzt nicht. Lautet ein launiger Spruch unter Fracht-Fliegern. Wo liegen die Unterschiede zur Passagierfliegerei? Worauf wird besonders geachtet? Und warum müssen Frachtflüge noch pünktlicher durchgeführt werden? Der Kapitän spricht über seinen Firmenwechsel und erklärt die Hintergründe. Diese Ladung ist zu heiß Manche geladenen Paletten haben so lange in der Sonne gestanden, dass der Laderaum extra gekühlt werden muss, denn trotz einer Außentemperatur von -20°C in 8000m Höhe messen die Temperaturfühler +16°C auf der Außenhaut. Die Crew weiß warum. Vom NavKit zur NavApp 30 bis 50 Kilo Kartenmaterial bleiben neuerdings am Boden, seitdem die gesamten Navigationsunterlagen inklusive Handbücher in den iPads der Piloten verschwinden. Den Einsatz eines Kommunikationscharts sieht man im Film und die Entstehungsgeschichte erfährt man auf der Kommentarspur (Audiotrack 2) des Kapitäns. The PushersEYE Ohne sie geht gar nichts auf einem Flughafen. Von manchen Piloten werden sie "Flugzeug-Schlepper" oder "Traktor" genannt. Sobald sie das Flugzeug auf den Rollweg zurückschieben, werden sie immer von vielen neugierigen Blicken aus der Passagierkabine verfolgt, Für diesen Film war es erstmals möglich, den Pushback-Vorgang aus der Sicht eines Hubschleppers in HKG mitzudrehen. Wenn Piloten Ausschlag haben ... ... ist nur der "volle Ruder-Ausschlag" gemeint, der nach dem Start in Hongkong nötig ist, um das Flugzeug im Steigflug stabil zu halten. Der "Pilot Flying" Alex hat beide Hände voll zu tun, um die Wirbelschleppen einer vorausfliegenden B777 des Mitbewerbers FedEx auszugleichen. Hat sich da ein Konkurrent etwa zu schnell aus dem Staub gemacht? Heisse Scheiben Was im ersten Moment wie Blitzeinschläge aussieht, entpuppt sich als durch elektrische Ladungen verursachte Lichterscheinungen, das sogenannte Elmsfeuer, direkt vor unseren Augen. Und das Ganze kurz vor der "low-visibility" Landung, bei der die Landebahn erst 90 Meter über dem Boden zu sehen ist. Diesen Kommentar darf er sich nicht verkneifen Auf der Tonspur 2 hört man - zusätzlich zum Originalton - den Kommentar des Kapitäns und erfährt so in einem sehr entspannten Erzählstil, was der Kommandant der Mission bei den einzelnen Situationen gedacht und gefühlt hat. Mehr Technik im Bonus Bonus I - OFP (Operational Flight Plan) Bonus II - ECAM Pages Bonus III - Best-of KAI TAK-Videos, spektakuläre Landungen Premiere im US-TV Mit dem ersten Trailer zu diesem Film schaffte es PilotsEYE.tv zum ersten Mal ins amerikanische Fernsehen. "Right this minute" ist eine syndicated TV-Show, die von 57 Cablechannels landesweit ausgestrahlt wird, sowie im Internet verfügbar ist. Ein kleiner Ritterschlag. Alle Unterlagen zum Nachfliegen Nicht nur für Simulator-Flieger, sondern auch Fans, die noch tiefer ins Thema einsteigen wollen, bietet PilotsEYE.tv alle relevanten, teilweise handschriftlichen Dokumente des Flugs. Vom Flugplan bis zur Wetterkarte, inklusive der wichtigsten Funksprüche und der Google-Route. Freier Download "PilotsEYE Flight Briefing" als PDF http://pilotsEYE.tv/downloads
