    Luka Jantjie
    Luka Jantjie is today a largely forgotten hero of resistance to British colonialism. His place in South African history has tended to be overshadowed by events elsewhere in the region. This book attempts to redress the balance by recording his remarkable story. In 1870, at the beginning of the Kimberley diamond mining boom that was to transform southern Africa, Luka Jantjie was the first independent African ruler to lose his land to the new colonialists, who promptly annexed the diamond fields. His outspoken stand against the hypocrisy of colonial 'justice' earned him the epithet: "a wild fellow who hates the English". As the son of an early Christian convert, Luka was brought up to respect peace and non-violence; his boycott of rural trading stores in the early 1890s was perhaps the earliest use of non-violent resistance in colonial South Africa. His steady refusal to bow to colonial demands of subservience intensified the enmity of local colonists determined to 'teach him a lesson'. As many of his people succumbed to colonial pressures, Luka was twice forced to take up arms to defend himself and his people from colonial attacks. His life ended in a dramatic and heroic last stand in the ancestral sanctuary of the Langeberg mountain range; its tragic consequences stretched far into the next century.

    Wild Drone , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 73min, (USK 18)
    Since women now rule, male office workers have all been demoted, becoming little more than assistants and servants for the females who make the important decisions. Occasionally, some of the women chat about that strange urban legend: the wild drone. These are the boys who have jobs but have somehow avoided getting sponsored by a handler or guardian. Theoretically, every male must answer to a woman.Except for Colin. He’s an actual wild drone because he managed to hold onto his independence. Out on the street and at work, he acknowledges the superiority of the women around him, but he still brings home his own paycheck and makes his own money. That is, until one woman discovers his secret. Daria is a young attorney at the same firm where Colin works as an assistant.Technically, she should report him right away, but she doesn’t. Instead, she decides to get to know this boy. He might have some potential after all. And if Colin isn’t careful, Daria might decide to play a few games with him. She might like to see him cuffed to her bed or naked. And she’s always been curious about what a boy might look like in a chastity cage. This could be fun — for Daria.This 12,000 word story features extensive female supremacy, bondage, male subservience, and elements of blackmail. All characters are consenting adults over the age of 18. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lindsey M. Kline. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/211033/bk_acx0_211033_sample.mp3.

    Infocrats: A Political Thriller , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 483min
    Are you appalled with the way politicians are dividing Americans? Forcing them to choose between Liberal or Conservative? Red or Blue? Left or Right?  What if we had another choice?  JJ Smith, the reluctant hero of the Infocrat party, fights for her life on the debate stage and on the run, battling to keep the Infocrat’s political movement alive. Presidential candidates Senator Freeman of the Democratic Liberal Socialists and General Harrison of the Republican National Conservatives conspire to annihilate JJ Smith and her passionate supporters. Merisol Bechase, Director of Homeland Security, is enlisted by the Republicans and Democrats. He is a willing participant knowing the collusion will further his ambitions. Christine Goodman’s few remaining relationships have been destroyed by strife and bickering over rhetoric the liberal and conservative media ruthlessly promote. Naval Master at Arms, Michael Macrae, must choose between loyalty to his ultra-conservative family and carrying out his sworn duty. Maria Santana, a Mexican immigrant, struggles to balance her subservience and her free will, terrified of the consequences if she makes the wrong choices. The characters’ lives collide unexpectedly, resulting in a cascade of unimaginable tragic events. Only in these travesties will the ugly truths about the Republican and Democrat duopoly be unveiled. “The politics of ideology create bonds that are infinitely stronger than the politics of policy. Don’t let Republicans or Democrats fleece you into becoming another one of their ideologues. Be an individual. Think for yourself.” (JJ Smith ) ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kathleen A.

    Harry Dresden lives! After being murdered by a mystery assailant, navigating his way through the realm between life and death, and being brought back to the mortal world, Harry realizes that maybe death wasn’t all that bad - because he is no longer Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard. He is now Harry Dresden, Winter Knight to Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness. After Harry had no choice but to swear his fealty, Mab wasn’t about to let something as petty as death steal away the prize she had sought for so long. And now, her word is his command, no matter what she wants him to do, no matter where she wants him to go, and no matter who she wants him to kill. Guess which one Mab wants first? Of course, it won’t be an ordinary, everyday assassination. Mab wants her newest minion to pull off the impossible: kill an immortal. No problem there, right? And to make matters worse, there exists a growing threat to an unfathomable source of magic that could land Harry in the sort of trouble that will make death look like a holiday. Beset by enemies new and old, Harry must gather his friends and allies, prevent the annihilation of countless innocents, and find a way out of his eternal subservience before his newfound powers claim the only thing he has left to call his own… his soul. ungekürzt.

    Awakened: House of Night Series, Book 8, Hörbuch, Digital, 300min
    “My love, speak to me. Tell me everything.” Neferet went to Kalona, kneeling before him, stroking the soft, dark wings that unfurled loosely around the immortal. “What would you have me say?” He didn’t meet her eyes. “Zoey lives.” Neferet’s voice was flat, cold, lifeless.“She does.” “Then you owe me the subservience of your immortal soul.” She started to walk away from him.“Where are you going? What will happen next?” “It is quite simple. I will ensure Zoey is drawn back to Oklahoma. There, on my own terms, I will complete the task you failed.” Exonerated by the Vampyre High Council and returned to her position of high priestess at Tulsa’s House of Night, Neferet has sworn vengeance on Zoey. Dominion over Kalona is only one of the weapons she plans to use against Z. But Zoey has found sanctuary on the Isle of Skye and is being groomed by Queen Sgiach to take over for her there. Being queen would be cool, wouldn’t it? Why should she return to Tulsa? After losing her human consort, Heath, she will never be the same - and her relationship with her super-hot-warrior, Stark, may never be the same either...and what about Stevie Rae and Rephaim? The Raven Mocker refuses to be used against Stevie Rae, but what choice does he have when no one in the entire world, including Zoey, would be okay with their relationship? Does he betray his father or his heart? In the pulse-pounding eighth audiobook in the best-selling House of Night series, how far will the bonds of friendship stretch, and how strong are the ties that bind one girl’s heart?

    Heal : His Command, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 535min, (USK 18)
    From the ashes of his past rises an alpha ready to take what he wants. Professional Dom Cedric Langston isn’t afraid to bring an omega to his knees, but he’s vowed to never let one into his heart. After a tragic event five years prior almost destroyed him, he can’t risk getting hurt again. With a prestigious career shift on the horizon, it’s safer to lose himself in work than to open himself up - ...until he runs headfirst into an omega who makes him never want to hide away again. Twisted by cruel subservience at a young age, an omega exists ready to please. Gabriel Lowe is free from the horrors of his past, but his heart refuses to move on. He’s lost his purpose, his place in life, and the man he thought would give him a family. The world is a harsh place for a broken omega, and when his rehabilitation therapy fails and he returns to the only family he has left, it gets harsher. He’s told he will be entrusted to an alpha - a professional Dom whose kindness and compassion Gabriel can’t understand. But when what should have been nothing more than a job ignites into blistering desire, Cedric and Gabriel are faced with a choice: cling to the demons of their past, or give in to what they’ve found in each other - a way to heal. Heal is a BDSM omegaverse novel set following the events of Obey, Beg, and Stay. It features a stunning use for a frying pan, red-hot body piercings you won’t see coming, and two men who overcome almost insurmountable obstacles to make a family. This novel alludes to sensitive topics some listeners may find difficult, including abuse, violence, and human trafficking. However, a happy ending isn’t only promised, it’s guaranteed. ungekürzt.

    Witness for the Defence, Hörbuch, Digital, 18min
    The dramatised narrative Witness for the Defence relates an account of the unacceptable, but still prevalent, degradation of domestic violence. It remains an appalling fact that in the 21st century there are women all over the world who are being violated, both mentally and physically, by their abusive male partners - women who are reduced to a state of submissive, humiliating, subservience and despair, brain-washed, beaten ,and coerced into total submission. Too often they are alienated from their closest family. They are deprived of their property and kept under permanent surveillance. Such tragic women are subjugated and dispossessed of every natural human dignity and freedom, until they have nothing left in life to live for. This abusive behaviour is always perpetrated behind closed doors by men whom the rest of society may see as good natured and friendly. These men are control freaks, cunning psychopaths, who prey on vulnerable women, driven on by the cruelty and sense of power they derive from their achievements and behaviour. Many move from one woman to another in their misogynistic progress through life, leaving behind a trail of ruined lives. Sadly, all too often innocent children grow up in these abusive dysfunctional circumstances, with undesirable males as their role models, and, as adults, believe women must be submissive. Domestic violence is found at all levels of society and is prevalent in ethnic groups worldwide, especially amongst women for whom the education system has failed. Witness for the Defence seeks to shine a light into this 'crime without a public face'. The author, Margaret Harland-Suddes, is from central Northumbria in England. She was born and educated in the beautiful Cathedral City of Durham, where she attended both school and university. Margaret's entire adult life has been spent in education, where she has been particularly, but not exclusively, involved in English, art, and dr Language: English.

    Hack the Vagus Nerve Total Guide: Discover the Secrets for Opening the Third Eye and Heal from Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Autism and Sciatica , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 205min
    Discover all the secrets of Hacking the Vagus Nerve!Do you want to discover the secrets for opening the third eye and healing from depression, anxiety, stress, autism, and sciatica? If yes, then keep reading....The vagus nerve allows us to feel touch, wetness, and temperature on the skin of the tragus, auricle, and the external auditory canal of the ear. These parts are located in the central sections of the ear, and acupuncture is taking advantage by using these locations to stimulate the vagus nerve. The liver alone performs hundreds of functions in the body; with around 500 duties, it is no lightweight. One of these functions, the one I am currently interested in, is the regulating of the blood flow throughout the body. The arms and legs are prioritized when the body enters fight or flight mode, therefore blood is diverted to them. This activates the muscles and gives the arms and legs the strength required to take the appropriate action. It also causes a decrease in the flow of blood in the liver, but it doesn’t matter because the filtration and digestion are not prioritized at that moment. The process is reversed when the body returns to rest mode. Filtration and digestion become a priority again, and the blood flow to the liver is increased. The liver also produces bile and bile salt, which are transported to the gallbladder and small intestine. The vagus nerve indirectly controls both the production and the transportation of bile and bile salt. Experts have noticed that cholangiocytes, the cells responsible for both actions, are active when the vagus nerve is active. The vagus nerve activates the cholangiocyte cells to produce the bile and bile salt then transport it to the small intestine. This book covers the following topics:What is the vagus and how you can hack it?

Christopher Laurenzo Wordwooze Publishing 2020-07-23 12:43:10 297 B08DJ6FSVV English - Science Fiction & Fantasy English 1.00 9.95 N http://img.audible.de/audiblewords/content/bk/acx0/207270de/lg_image.jpg http://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/207270/bk_acx0_207270_sample.mp3 Matty Williams’ retirement as a computer tech goes awry when he and his girlfriend Divvie discover that new social technologies are subtly affecting the minds of their users. As they delve deeper into the technological marvels, revolutionizing the lives of virtually everyone on the planet, they are set on a course that leads directly back to their employer Roydon Technologies.Now, there’s the latest gadget, augmented reality glasses known as “Augies, that can literally recreate reality for the user, all controlled by the ruthlessly efficient global computer system with the deceptively reassuring name of NANA.Will Matty, Divvie, and their super-geeky friend Howard save humanity from a life of programmed subservience, or will their attempt to thwart NANA result in something even worse?"The story built the level of intrigue and tension nicely, increasing its hold over the reader by fully immersing them in a future world. The technology introduced was believable and shocking, disturbingly charged with both wonder and terror. I would recommend this book to anyone." (Steven Robson for Readers’ Favorite) ungekürzt.
