  The Road to Amazing , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 407min

  I think gay guys like weddings more than anyone. And it's not because we want to destroy marriage, like some people say. It's because we really, really want to get married! Russel Middlebrook is gettin' hitched! The wedding is taking place in a remote lodge on an island in Puget Sound. Russel and his husband-to-be have invited all their close friends to spend the whole weekend together beforehand. And for the first time in his life, Russel is determined to not be neurotic, and not over-think things. But that's before things start going wrong. Who expected a dead killer whale to wash up on the beach below the inn? And what's this about a windstorm approaching? Then there's the problem of Russel's anxious fiancé, who is increasingly convinced the whole thing is going to be a disaster. Meanwhile, the wedding is taking place near the ruins of a small town, Amazing, where, a hundred years earlier, the people supposedly all disappeared overnight. Why does it feel like the secret at the end of the road to Amazing has something to do with Russel's own future? Can Russel's friends Min, Gunnar, Vernie, and Otto somehow help him make it all make sense? The Road to Amazing, the final book in the Russel Middlebrook Futon Years trilogy, is a story about endings and beginnings, and also about growing up and growing older. But mostly it's a story about love and friendship - about how it's not the destination that makes a life amazing, but the people you meet along the way. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2021

  Before you is the tournament book of the Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2021. The event that has been won in sensational fashion by the young Dutch grandmaster Jorden van Foreest. In a tiebreak in the third blitz game, he was just a bit faster of his compatriot Anish Giri. The barrage was necessary because both players very surprisingly ended with the wonderful score of 8¿ out of 13 in joint first place. With this they had left behind, among others, World Champion Magnus Carlsen (7¿) and the number two in the world, Fabiano Caruana (8). An unprecedented achievement, because the tournament in Wijk aan Zee is sometimes called the "Wimbledon of chess" of the elite tournaments. After the last round, in which Van Foreest in a formidable way had left the Swede Nils Grandelius chanceless, it was waiting for the game between the Spaniard David Antón Guijarra and Anish Giri. Our compatriot was in a bad position, lost perhaps, but he managed to free himself from the tangled position and gain an important half point. It was decided beforehand that a tiebreak would be held, consisting of at least two blitz games. Should these result in a 1-1 score, an Armageddon game would be played. This turned out to be a nervous and blood-curdling fight, with the pieces flying around. In the end the younger OF the two, Jorden van Foreest, emerged victorious and thus the young Groninger booked the greatest success of his still young career. Apart from the commotion in the Dutch seaside resort of Wijk aan Zee, where the tournament was held - under strict corona rules - the whole of the Netherlands rose to its feet when this great result became known. Hadn't we had to wait since 1985, when Jan Timman won the Hoogovens chess tournament, for a Dutch chess player to stand on the highest podium? And now it was even two players from this country who could dispute together who would take the highest honor

  Cracking the Amazon Interview: A Step by Step Guide to Land the Job , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 125min

  While we cannot predict every question that Amazon will ask in an interview, the process is fairly structured. This makes the interview process transparent and easy to prepare for because we know many of the themes they will cover and questions they will ask. Imagine if your teacher in university told you most of the questions that were going to be on the test beforehand - all you would have to do is practice. Consider this book your study guide. As a result of this structured interview process, many job seekers who do poorly in interviews simply do not spend enough time preparing. And often, the ones who do spend time preparing do not spend enough time focusing on the right things. I compiled information about the company’s interview process, questions, and techniques that have been most successful for former applicants (current Amazon employees). This mini-guide will walk you through what it takes to get through an Amazon interview, step by step.  All you have to do is listen and prepare. What’s in the book:How to supercharge your resume and tailor keywords to get noticed by Amazon hiring managers Tips to answer Amazon's behavioral interview questions A breakdown of Amazon's famous 14 leadership principles Understand the Amazon business model (the "flywheel") and how it relates to the interview Common pitfalls and how to avoid them Perspectives from Amazon hiring managers across the world And much more!Please note: This is an unofficial product and is not endorsed by Amazon or Audible.PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio. ungekürzt.

  Crushing the Phase 2 Pharmacy Residency Match: Proven Tactics to Earn a Clinical Pharmacist Training Position , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 64min

  If you’re reading this, it’s likely that either you didn't get an interview, or you feel "Residency Match Day" was one of the worst days of your life. However, there is, if you get an interview invitation, a one-in-five chance to still earn a residency position this year. That number goes up dramatically if you use some of the techniques in this book that puts you not only ahead of the game, but ahead of the curve. A successful phase-two match doesn’t come from luck, but from a series of correct steps that make your chance of matching much more likely. With only a few days between the results of the phase-one match and PhORCAS opening for applications, it’s better you listen to this book beforehand, as a “just in case”.While many will enter phase two, many cannot. Whether it is because you are place-bound with family, don’t see yourself in the narrowed group of options, or simply want to look for other opportunities, I’ve included a bonus chapter from Finding Your Unicorn Job: Financial Freedom, Flexible Hours, and Personal Fulfillment Beyond the Pharmacy Counter.Often I hear students say, “It’s not that I really want a residency; it’s that I don’t want to work in retail.” While I personally enjoyed community pharmacy, I understand. This book provides stories from many pharmacists who love their job. I know you didn’t match, and I respect that was a tough day. But what defines a person as a professional is what one does when one gets knocked down. I want to help you get up and get after it, and in this quick guide, you can. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Mark Twain in India , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 440min

  Back in the mid-1980s when I was teaching in Warren College at the University of California, San Diego, we were required to use Mark Twain's famous book, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, in our classes. However, we were cautioned beforehand that certain words that were in common usage in the 19th century (such as the n-word) were no longer acceptable either in speech or print today. But instead of editing out those offensive words, it was believed that keeping the older text intact allowed us an historical and psychological glimpse into the mindset of the people living at that time, even if they contained only a partial glimpse of a certain class. I mention this because in re-reading Mark Twain's book, Following the Equator: A Journey Around the World (from which we have specifically excerpted his reminiscences of India), it becomes almost immediately apparent how dated the language is and how some phrases may be regarded as totally inappropriate to today's modern ear. But we have made no attempt here to alter Twain's words in any way, believing that it is important not to alter such since the document provides the interested listener with a fascinating social telescope into a time far gone. Having myself been to India nine times (and most recently in the fall of 2014), much has changed in this wondrous country over the years even if many parts remain the same - so much so, in fact, that one imagines that Twain himself would acknowledge the semblance. The following book focuses only on Mark Twain's time in India during the first few months of 1896. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Christopher A Leonard.
