Double Dipping , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 500min
Who needs a man when you have a pint of fresh Wisconsin ice cream and full access to Cary Grant on The Movie Channel? That's what second-grade teacher and MGM-devotee Caitlin Walsh believes. After being left at the altar by her ambitious rat of an ex-fiancé, Cait has rededicated her life to her students and to the citizens of small-town Ridgewood Grove. But when the school's new financial director, Garrett Ellis, cancels the much-beloved Harvest Hoopla festival, Cait rallies the staff to fight the decision, which puts her in direct conflict with the most formidable man she's ever encountered. As a reluctant heir to the Ellis Fruit and Nut Gift Basket Empire and the second son of one of the country's most affluent families, Garrett has a penchant for mixing sweet edibles with acts of love. He also has an undercover agenda: to find the person responsible for stealing the district money and to right the situation, while keeping his family background to himself. But in the process, he faces the one woman who challenges his longtime resistance to commitment. Both Cait and Garrett end up secretly snooping into each other's past: Garrett looking for the thief, Cait uncovering Garrett's private family history and his prior girlfriends - one of whom turns out to be someone very unexpected.... ungekürzt.

Sweet Justice: Wisdom of the Ancestors, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 471min
Tina Justice burst into the club like she owned the joint. Heads quickly turned and murmurs rose amid lively applause. Newspaper photographers and reporters scurried ahead of her, frantically snapping pictures and shouting questions while her security team cleared the way. She ignored it all.Restaurant patrons jumped to their feet, applauding in roof-raising adulation and admiration of her, sounding like hundreds of geese rising from a lake, noisily squawking and honking, wings loudly beating the air. One would have thought she was giving out thousand-dollar bills for all the attention focused on her. Yet, no one could deny that she looked like a cool million, freshly minted in her money-green, shimmering sheath.Initially, businessman Nico Collins thought all of the hoopla was over the very popular male matinee idol and heartthrob escorting her for the evening. The actor had just won best male actor for his role in the latest film her company, Sweet Justice Productions, released. However, the crowd quickly disabused Nico of that notion when they started chanting “Sweet Justice” in a rhythmic rendition of the title song from the soundtrack of her blockbuster movie.Neither Tina nor Nico could have predicted how their lives would crash together and cause cataclysmic sparks to fly. When two billionaire captains of industry collide, could both survive the experience? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Logan McAllister.

Winter Interlude: California Series, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 497min
Do you remember your mother telling you when you were little that you’d never meet Mr. Right if you were spending all your time and energy with Mr. Wrong? And what about the book out a few years ago that created such a hoopla with the single crowd – He’s Just Not That Into You? The two main characters in Winter Interlude either didn’t heed their mother’s advice or haven’t read the book. Now, add into the plot that the two in question are enemies who regularly run into each other, given their current relationships. Paul Morrison, a hunky, blond, financial planner, has been putting time and energy into winning the heart of Kate Winter’s best friend for almost as long as Kate, a strong willed antiques dealer, has been dating James Morrison, Paul’s brother. The sparks start to fly when the two get stuck together for a three-hour drive to the mountains and years of misconceptions about each other are slowly being wiped out. It is in the confines of the BMW that the two begin their journey, taking them from being mortal enemies to lovers. Winter Interlude tells the story of their adventure – of how they finally find love. Kate and Paul’s story is the first one in a series of four friends caught in a time warp. They can’t move on because they are stuck on their idea of their perfect dreams. But sometimes life works in mysterious ways and they are all forced by circumstances to change. ungekürzt.

Transition: The Story of How I Became a Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 400min
Chaz Bono's groundbreaking and candid account of a 40-year struggle to match his gender identity with his physical body and his transformation from female to male. At first, America knew the only child of Sonny and Cher as Chastity, the cherubic little girl who appeared on her parents' TV show. In later years, she became famous for coming out on a national stage, working with two major organizations toward LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) rights and publishing two books. And just within the past 18 months, Chaz Bono has entered the public consciousness as the most high-profile transgender person ever. All through the hoopla surrounding his change, Chaz has insisted on maintaining his privacy. Now, in Transition, Chaz finally tells his story. Part One traces his decision to transition, beginning in his childhood - when he played on the boys' teams and wore boys' clothing whenever possible - and going through his painful, but ultimately joyful, coming out in his 20s, up to 2008, when, after the death of his father, drug addiction, and five years of sobriety, Chaz was finally ready to begin the process of changing his gender. In Part Two, he offers an unprecedented record in words and photographs of the actual transition, a real-time diary as he navigates uncharted waters. These chapters capture the day-to-day momentum of his life as his body changes. Throughout the book, Chaz touches on themes of identity, gender, and sexuality; parents and children; and how harboring secrets shatters the soul. It is an amazing contribution to our understanding of a much-misunderstood community. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chaz Bono.

Kiss Carlo , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 962min
From Adriana Trigiani, the beloved New York Times best-selling author of The Shoemaker's Wife, comes an exhilarating epic novel of love, loyalty, and creativity - the story of an Italian American family on the cusp of change. It's 1949, and South Philadelphia bursts with opportunity during the postwar boom. The Palazzini Cab Company & Western Union Telegraph Office, owned and operated by Dominic Palazzini and his three sons, is flourishing: Business is good, and they're surrounded by sympathetic wives and daughters-in-law, with grandchildren on the way. But a decades-long feud that split Dominic and his brother, Mike, and their once-close families sets the stage for a rematch. Amidst the hoopla, the arrival of an urgent telegram from Italy upends the life of Nicky Castone (Dominic and his wife's orphaned nephew), who lives and works with his uncle Dom and his family. Nicky decides, at 30, that he wants more - more than just a job driving car number four and more than his longtime fiancée, Peachy DePino, a bookkeeper, can offer. When he admits to his fiancée that he's been secretly moonlighting at the local Shakespeare theater company, Nicky finds himself drawn to the stage, its colorful players, and the determined Calla Borelli, who inherited the enterprise from her father, Nicky must choose between the conventional life his family expects of him and charting a new course and risking losing everything he cherishes. From the dreamy mountaintop village of Roseto Valfortore in Italy to the vibrant streets of South Philly to the close-knit enclave of Roseto, Pennsylvania, to New York City during the birth of the golden age of television, Kiss Carlo is a powerful intergenerational story that celebrates the ties that bind while staying true to oneself when all hope seems lost. Told against the backdrop of some of Shakespeare's greatest comedies, this novel brims with romance as long-buried secrets are revealed, mistaken iden ungekürzt. Language: English.

Bitcoin Secrets: Learn about the faults in the Bitcoin system that no one will tell you about. This is the only instruction you need to read before you begin (cryptocurrency) (eBook, ePUB)
Do you believe you know anything about Bitcoin and Austrian Economics?If so, you may be ready for Cryptoeconomics. This does not work for the uninitiated. The information is dense and does not repeat itself. It is not a contribution to the echo chamber, and it will not teach you how to set up a wallet, the future price, or what to do. Cryptoeconomics applies rational economic concepts to Bitcoin, exposing weaknesses, unnecessary complications, and popular understandings of Bitcoin. It will help you comprehend both. Bitcoin necessitates a new, rigorous, and complete discipline. Bitcoin is a novel concept. It seems to be beyond comprehension. Is there ever a time when money had a limited supply? Is there another example of manufacturing costs changing directly with product price? Is there anything else with a competitive yet set rate of translatability? This may be your sole source for seeing beyond the hoopla and understanding the value proposition, security model, and economic behavior. Bitcoin is about economics, technology, and security. Errors will occur if all of these components are not considered. Economists, engineers, security professionals, and even numerologists have sought to explain it. Each gives a restricted viewpoint that overlooks essential features. The author found himself in a unique position to merge them. His involvement with Bitcoin started with the purchase of a hardware wallet. He spent a year evaluating dangers and collaborating with specialists in electronics design, hardware exploitation, and governmental monitoring. He picked the Lib bitcoin software bookshop since Satoshi's prototype was not considered for development and was funded mainly by the Bitcoin Foundation, a business consortium. He then committed himself to Libbitcoin, ultimately developing or revising all 500,000 lines of code. Few people have similar expertise with such a full Bitcoin stack. He faced state threats as a combat-experienced fighter pilot in the United States Navy. He advanced to the rank of Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor, where he was primarily responsible for tactics analysis and threat presentation. He also assisted the Navy on the Strike Fighter Training System network, the Joint Strike Fighter, early GPS munitions, and F/A-18 systems. His grasp of the physical basis of all security was heightened by decades of training in Japanese martial arts, where he achieved black belt grades in five disciplines. His degree and skills in computer science were combined with substantial business knowledge, which he gained by launching multiple firms. He has worked for IBM and Microsoft, two of the world's most significant corporations. The latter bought his first company, while Veritas Capital acquired his second. He was granted three related US patents. He eventually became an angel investor, sharing his knowledge with new startups. As CTO of his first business, he issued three computer security alerts via the Computer Emergency Response Team. Each was fully developed from his perusal of user manuals. For his efforts in software patching, he later won a place on the DHS Open Vulnerability Assessment Language advisory board. In recent years, he discovered substantial security issues in each of the first three incarnations of a popular "secure element" hardware wallet via an examination of user documentation. Cryptoeconomics arose from the capacity to synthesize these disparate and relevant experiences; this is your next stop.- Shop: buecher
