Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 362min
Peter Schweizer's bombshell investigation reveals how Washington really works: politicians extort money from us, then use it to buy each other's votes. Our legislators' desire for cash influences everything-from how they write laws to when they vote on a bill. His audiobook reveals: Obama's "Protection Money": How the Obama Administration targeted industries for criminal investigation but chose not to pursue key political donors. John Boehner's "Tollbooth": How the Speaker of the House extracts money by soliciting political donations before he will hold crucial votes on the House floor. The "Slush Fund": How politicians extract "campaign contributions" and then convert them to bankroll lavish lifestyles complete with limos, private jets, golf at five-star resorts, fine wines, and cash for family members. Capitol Hill's "Underground Economy": How congressmen use a little-known loophole that allows them to secretly link their votes to cash. Extortion finally makes clear why Congress is so dysfunctional: it's all about making money, not making law. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonny Heller.

Dear Durwood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 263min
Book two in the epic Third Chance Enterprises series, Dear Durwood is a stand-alone mystery pitting uncompromising principle against big city greed. Durwood Oak Jones is a man of few indulgences. One he does allow is a standing ad in Soldier of Fortune magazine soliciting “injustices in need of attention”. This month’s bundle of letters includes one from Carol Bridges, mayor of the dusty, blue-collar town of Chickasaw, Texas. For nearly a century, Chickasaw has relied on the jobs and goodwill of Hogan Consolidated, a family-run manufacturer of industrial parts. Now East Coast lawyers and investment bankers have taken aim at the company. The citizens of Chickasaw fear it may be acquired or bankrupted, leading to massive layoffs - effectively destroying the town. Durwood and his trusty bluetick coonhound, Sue-Ann, fly to Texas to see what can be done. They find a young CEO born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Factory workers with hammers. A good woman, Carol Bridges, who knows her town is being cheated but can’t get to the bottom of how. And lawyers. Dirty, good-for-nothing lawyers. ungekürzt. Language: English.

The Practice House , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 860min
Nineteen-year-old Aldine McKenna is stuck at home with her sister and aunt in a Scottish village in 1929 when two Mormon missionaries ring the doorbell. Aldine's sister converts and moves to America to marry, and Aldine follows, hoping to find the life she's meant to lead and the person she's meant to love. In New York, Aldine answers an ad soliciting a teacher for a one-room schoolhouse in a place she can't possibly imagine: drought-stricken Kansas. She arrives as farms on the Great Plains have begun to fail and schools are going bankrupt, unable to pay or house new teachers. With no money and too much pride to turn back, she lives uneasily with the family of Ansel Price - the charming, optimistic man who placed the ad - and his family responds to her with kind curiosity, suspicion, and, most dangerously, love. Just as she's settling into her strange new life, a storm forces unspoken thoughts to the surface that will forever alter the course of their lives. Laura McNeal's novel is a sweeping and timeless love story about leaving - and finding - home. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Angela Dawe.

What You Own , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 338min
For Ryan Sanders, the Paige Community Center is more than a place where he teaches at-risk teens about musical theater. He found a sense of belonging there during one of the hardest times of his life. With the center facing a financial crisis, he'll do whatever it takes to keep the doors open - even soliciting fundraiser donations from Langley-Quartermaine Financial. Adam Langley has a plan: survive an internship at his father's company, finish college, get his trust fund, and find his former high school best friend Ryan and beg his forgiveness. In that order, because if Ryan does forgive him, Adam believes he'll finally find the courage to come out to his wealthy, bigoted father. Adam's carefully considered plan is shattered when Ryan appears at the office a full 10 months before Adam is ready, and Ryan is just as stunned. Against his better judgment, Adam gets involved with the fundraiser - and Ryan. Old feelings won't be denied, and as Ryan and Adam reconnect, they realize neither knows the entire truth about the horrific night three years earlier that tore their friendship apart. ungekürzt.

CAMPUS LANDSCAPE SPACE PLANNING AND DESIGN USING QFD
The design of campus landscape space has gained more recognition in the recent twenty years. One of the significant changes in the design process is the taking of users needs/concerns into account, which emphasizes the importance of user involvement and different techniques in soliciting user input. But there is a missing link between user input and the design program elements. In this thesis, the author examine the past practice of campus landscape space design and propose using Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to fill in this missing link. QFD has been used in various industries for years. It emphasizes the importance of taking users needs, called Voice of Customers (VOC), into the design process. The employment of different matrices to capture the relationship between VOC and subsequent design and quality characteristics makes QFD a unique framework suitable to fill the gap in the current design process. A case study including the advantages, the obstacles, and the unique condition of using QFD in landscape design is conducted. The study yields several insights on the application of QFD in campus landscape space design, which are applicable in other landscape design projects.- Shop: buecher
