  Asterix 16 in Switzerland

  Quaestor Vexatius Sinustitis, who is about to expose the Roman governor's creative accountancy, has been poisoned. Can Getafix brew an antidote? Only if Asterix and Obelix find a certain flower for the druid's potion in Helvetia. What with bank safes, cuckoo hourglasses, yodelling and holes in the cheese, they're soon on a real Helvetian roll.

  Pegasus 51223E - Kitchen Rush (English Edition), Board Game

  The world of gastronomy awaits! As a team of new restaurant owners, players must work together efficiently to make their gastronomic endeavor a success. They will have to use only the finest ingredients, season with the freshest herbs and avoid keeping their guests waiting – only then their restaurant will prosper.Kitchen Rush is a cooperative real-time worker placement game that evokes the feel of a busy kitchen by using hourglasses as workers. While all play simultaneously, and time is limited, every action in the game – from cleaning plates to serving dishes – requires time. Coordination, discussion, and staying on top of all tasks is the key to success in Kitchen Rush. However, since nobody is born a star chef, the game teaches players all rules through 8 increasingly difficult scenarios, and allows them to upgrade their restaurant with parts of the modular game board along the way. At the same time this allows players to scale the game’s difficulty to their liking.Contents: 111 Cards, 108 ingredients, 8 game board pieces, 4 player boards, 1 magnet board, 10 hourglasses, 1 bag, 56 spices, 35 coins, 22 plates, 17 markers, instructionsPlaying Time: 20 - 60 minutes

  Pope Joan: The Indestructible Legend of the Catholic Church's First and Only Female Pontiff , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min

  I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves. - Mary Shelley The Middle Ages in Europe were some of the most precarious centuries in recorded history, bristling with war, excitement, and chaos. The Western Roman Empire had crumbled, territories were rapidly expanding, and heavy ploughs, hourglasses, spectacles, tidal mills, and more pioneering inventions were popping up across the continent. It was also a time of extreme prejudice, when women were treated as second-class citizens. Their only purpose in life was to procreate by the dozen. They were confined to their kitchens and barns at home. They could not vote, and most definitely were not allowed to be involved in anything with the word "office" in its title. What was worse, only a handful of these women would succeed in hauling themselves out of the trenches, as females were not allowed an education. Given this context, there have always been stories about women who broke the mold somehow, and of all the mysterious stories passed down over the centuries and chronicled by history's storytellers, one of the most fascinating and hotly contested subjects is Pope Joan, a young woman who was so desperate to squeeze herself out of the status quo that she had done the unthinkable. For decades, she disguised herself as a man, living amongst her oppressors as she paved her way to the papal throne. She would keep up this pretense for more than two years until that one fateful day, when it all came unraveling. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Clem.

Over their course, we meet the most epochal inventions in horological history, from medieval water clocks to Renaissance hourglasses, and from stock-exchange timestamps to satellites in Earth's orbit.
