    Pudd'nhead Wilson, like many other Mark Twain books, was read aloud by the author to his wife and daughters, chapter by chapter, as it was being written. This humorous, dramatic, and sometimes shocking novel, set in the pre-war south, is the tale of Roxy, a beautiful and intelligent slave woman who contrives to save her own light-skinned child from being "sold down the river". She successfully switches her baby with the master's own child, starting a chain of events that lead to surprising and tragic results. This book is considered by many to be Mark Twain's best book dealing with the cruelty, horror, and inhumanity of slavery in 19th century America. Pudd'nhead, the title character, not only provides humorous aphorisms and wry observations on the little river town, he also proves to be the catalyst that solves the mystery, radically changing the lives of all of those involved. Interestingly, Mark Twain's use of fingerprints as evidence in a fictional criminal trial predated the official acceptance of such evidence in actual U.S. courts by two years. This recording is a recreation of Mark Twain's own reading, just as his family might have heard the story for the first time in the family library. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Neuroscience research is producing an almost constant stream of new discoveries that are unlocking the secrets of how our brains work. For those of us directly involved in this research of the human brain, it is a very exciting time. However, very few people outside of the neuroscience community understand these discoveries well enough to take advantage of them or apply them to their own lives in a way that gets meaningful results. I see a need for simple, clear, accessible explanations of how to apply brain-based practices to greatly improve how we work and conduct business, so that everyone can benefit from use these discoveries. A few years ago, I was invited to write a series of articles for publication, with exactly that goal. This audiobook is a collection of those articles. In addition to being supported by recent research of the human brain in the Western world, the articles in this book are also influenced by my knowledge of mindfulness and other ancient practices from the Eastern world. Interestingly, much of the recent neuroscience research confirms that many of these ancient Eastern practices do result in greatly improved brain functioning. The East-West synthesis evident in these articles reflects my many years of work and study on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, and my lifelong interest in how to improve the human brain. ungekürzt.

    How does a fat, lazy low-income 45-year-old man living in a mobile home become a strong, lean, healthy 50-year-old man living in a half-million dollar home? Author and motivational speaker Claude Viens tells the story - his own story in his conference speech called “how to overcome man’s biggest obstacle”.Claude Viens is a 54-year-old lighting designer and director and a storyteller who doubles as a motivational speaker – a personal dream since the age of 12. Having toured with so many renowned artists - mostly comedians for the past 20 years - it is succinct to mention that Claude has been overweight and, as such, consciously or unconsciously out of shape most of his life!His bad health had really gotten out of hand since he was in his mid-40s as he had already become nothing but a low-income man with no libido for effort or any ambition whatsoever. Thus, approaching age 50, he decided to turn things around by taking calculated control of his health and finances!Interestingly, in his quest for searching out for a different solution to obesity and bad health behavior, Claude chose to concentrate on the psychological aspect of getting healthy which gave birth to the book he successfully created, titled The Most Powerful Weight Loss Device Ever Made: The Human Brain. ungekürzt.

    Explore the captivating history of Hammurabi.The story of Hammurabi is the story of 43 years jam-packed with conquest, temple- and wall-building, irrigation efforts, and lawmaking, but it’s also a story of broken relations and rising and falling empires. It’s a story of betrayal and shifting alliances, a story where even the gods take a backseat to the matters of common men. It’s a tale that’s both thousands of years old and, interestingly enough, just as contemporary as it was when Hammurabi still drew breath. And like all great tales of history, it’s a yarn that teaches the common man that no feat of greatness comes without a price and that human nature is just as complex as it was when Babylonians praised Marduk and hailed Hammurabi as a god in his own right.    In Hammurabi: A Captivating Guide to the Sixth King of the First Babylonian Dynasty, Including the Code of Hammurabi, you will discover topics such as:Babylon before Hammurabi: Position of the city in Mesopotamia, early rulersRise of Hammurabi: Wars and achievements chronology of HammurabiReign of Hammurabi: Babylon during his reign, relations to other cities. Hammurabi’s BabylonHammurabi’s character: physical appearance, relations with other rulers, glimpses of his personalityThe Code of Hammurabi and early Mesopotamian lawDissecting the codeHammurabi’s legacyAnd much, much more! ungekürzt.

    This handbook is addressed to anyone seeking up to $5 million to fund a limited partnership where you do not want to specify which properties will be purchased and/or sold. This form of real estate partnership is known as a blind pool. Just as in a blind pool real estate investment trust (REIT), investors in private placements do not know which properties the partnership will purchase. When you offer a blind pool limited partnership interest to a third party, the evaluation of the partnership's prospects will be based on your track record as opposed to a specified pool-limited partnership where prospects can be evaluated on basis of costs and projected revenues. Interestingly, there is no evidence that the average performance of blind pools differs significantly from the performance of comparable specified pool partnerships. For most real estate entrepreneurs, the advantages of being able to raise money without having to first identify and have under contract a particular property are obvious. Most real estate entrepreneurs, when hearing the word securities associated with their deal, react as a 14th-century Flemish townsman hearing of a new plague. But securities can be a good thing. Showing sophistication about the securities piece of your project can garner respect as well as expand the number of online prospective investors, to say nothing of giving you extraordinary advantages down the road if things go south. ungekürzt.

    Imagine having the power to read a person correctly, understand his/her personality, and use that information to influence him/her.Sometimes, we are convinced that it is impossible to predict what the other person is thinking, but here is the good news. It is possible to read and understand the personality of a person even before you talk to them. Over the years, I have identified several ways of doing this. To be honest with you, I have tested all of them, and believe me; they work effectively. As a life coach and researcher specializing in personal development, I have engaged with a lot of people from different walks of life. This interaction offered me the chance to observe and identify what works and what does not work when it comes to manipulation, persuasion, reading people, and effectively influencing them. The tips, techniques, and skills shared in this book are the most effective ones. However, it takes time and practice to be able to apply them correctly. On the brighter side, once you learn them, it becomes very easy to even detect and protect yourself from toxic and abusive people. Interestingly, some of these tips are so obvious that you will be thinking, “How did I miss that?” For example, you probably know that a person’s shoes say a lot about the person. The question is, do you know how to read them to identify behavior and characteristics? Listen to find out more about different types of personalities, toxic people, manipulators, and effective boundary setting.

    Avery Shaw has the world at her fingertips...and a pile of dead Santas near the railroad tracks. Interestingly, she’s more focused on the Santas than her personal life, but only because she’s been warned that a proposal is imminent from her live-in love Eliot Kane and she needs to look somewhere else - anywhere else will do - rather than accept what he’s trying to offer.Avery never pictured herself married but it appears it might be happening...no matter how she tries to dodge and weave. The Santas make an enticing distraction, so Avery throws herself in with gusto.Tracking the Santas isn’t easy because Macomb County Sheriff Jake Farrell doesn’t want the names released. He lets one slip, though, and that leads Avery on an adventure...all the way down to a halfway house in Detroit.It’s a big world and some crimes are worse than others. The only common thread Avery can find when chasing this story is a drug ring, and when she pulls that particular thread, everything comes toppling down.The drug world is dark and seamy and Avery is going to need her guile and wits to survive this one. Even if she comes out on the other side - and that’s a big if - then there’s a proposal waiting.It’s finally time for Avery Shaw to grow up...at least a little bit. Come along for the ride, because the big moment is finally here. There might even be a murder to solve along the way. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angel Clark.
