Each ATM denotes 10 meters of static water-pressure. This is not the depth to which a watch can be worn. Many watch cases will list the basic measurement of 1 ATM as "water-resistant." These watches will withstand small splashes of water but should not be worn while washing the hands or submerging the hands in water.  Remember, water resistance is tested under static conditions. Wearing a watch which is 50 metres water resistant in water will expose the watch to a much greater pressure than during a 50 metre static test. Therefore the number of metres shown on the watch does not indicate the depth that the watch can be taken to.  Here is a general guide 50M = 5ATM = Shower Proof - it's ok to get it wet a bit. 100M = 10ATM = Extended Water Exposure good for swimming or snorkeling. 200M = 20ATM = Pressure Resistant made for Scuba and Skin Diving.Q: A 100M watch is surely strong enough on a shallow dive?!  A: No! It isn't because it has not been high pressure sealed. 100M watches are only good for Snorkeling! Q: What will happen if I try to dive with a watch that is less than 200M Resistant? A: The watch's seal will be broken, it will flood and break..irrepairably. Q: So which watch to buy? A: Think about what you need it for and bear in mind that Scuba Watches (200M) look really cool but tend to be very heavy, which makes them uncomfortable for everyday use.IPXX Rating ChartIP Code  The IP Code (or International Protection Rating, sometimes also interpreted as Ingress Protection Rating*) consists of the letters IP followed by two digits and an optional letter. As defined in international standard IEC 60529, it classifies the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of solid objects (including body parts like hands and fingers), dust, accidental contact, and water in electrical enclosures. The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof.The digits (characteristic numerals) indicate conformity with the conditions summarized in the tables below. For example, an electrical socket rated IP22 is protected against insertion of fingers and will not be damaged or become unsafe during a specified test in which it is exposed to vertically or nearly vertically dripping water.

    Things We Say in the Dark
    'Gripping . . . You won't put it down' Sunday TelegraphA shocking collection of dark stories, ranging from chilling contemporary fairytales to disturbing supernatural fiction.Alone in a remote house in Iceland a woman is unnerved by her isolation; another can only find respite from the clinging ghost that follows her by submerging herself in an overgrown pool. Couples wrestle with a lack of connection to their children; a schoolgirl becomes obsessed with the female anatomical models in a museum; and a cheery account of child's day out is undercut by chilling footnotes.These dark tales explore women's fears with electrifying honesty and invention and speak to one another about female bodies, domestic claustrophobia, desire and violence. 'A brilliant collection of stories . . . All will burrow their way into your brain and not let go' Stylist'Shimmers with menace . . . Fans of Angela Carter and Shirley Jackson take note' i NewspaperKIRSTY LOGAN WAS SELECTED AS ONE OF BRITAIN'S TEN MOST OUTSTANDING LGBTQ WRITERS by Val McDermid for the International Literature Showcase in 2019

    Painter of Silence , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 465min
    It is the early 1950s. A nameless man is found on the steps of the hospital in Iasi, Romania. He is deaf and mute, but a young nurse named Safta recognizes him from the past and brings him paper and pencils so that he might draw. Gradually, memories appear on the page: The man is Augustin, the cook's son at the manor house at Poiana, where Safta was the privileged daughter. Born six months apart, they had a connection that bypassed words, but while Augustin's world stayed the same size, Safta's expanded to embrace languages, society, and a fleeting love one long, hot summer. But then came war, and in its wake a brutal Stalinist regime, and nothing would remain the same. Georgina Harding's kaleidoscopic new novel will appeal to readers of Anne Michaels, Michael Ondaatje, and Sandor Marai. It is as intense and submerging as rain, as steeped in the horrors of our recent history as it is in the intimate passions of the human heart. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Sian Thomas.

    The Queen: The Epic Ambition of Hillary and the Coming of a Second "Clinton Era" , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 291min
    National broadcast journalist Hugh Hewitt warns how a Clinton "reign" would damage the fundamental, foundational traditions upon which America is built. In The Queen, Hugh Hewitt's in-depth examination of the career and accomplishments - epic failures, really - of the real Hillary Clinton will show you why - after her decades of working so hard, after surviving Bill and his antics, after losing to an upstart in 2008, submerging her boiling anger and wounded pride, and after enduring the real predations of the "vast right-wing conspiracy" that has been dogging her throughout - Hillary is on the brink of achieving it all. Not since the publication of The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli 500 years ago has a member of the political opposition written so candidly about the strengths and weaknesses of the strongest member of his opposing political party. Brilliant and insightful, The Queen is simply unique among political books of our era. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Hugh Hewitt.

    Coping with Death and Destruction , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 571min
    This is a collection of twelve, high concept, multi-part short stories reflecting on and inspired by the death and transformation of the year 2016. It serves as an elegy for that period of time, submerging into its dark themes of loss, extracting what irreverence and hopefulness it can, and reflecting it through a prism of an eternal universe. Sorted astrologically, the stories sometimes span generations, depicting conflict based around such themes as apocalypse, dreams, aging, dying, ghosts, the afterlife, animals, nature, global politics and pop culture. Location also varies, taking the reader through several American states to North Korea, Africa, the Philippines and beyond - often peppered with heavy doses of Southern Gothic sensibility. Here you can listen about religion based on science fiction and fantasy, a 1960's lounge singer marginalized by the Beatles, or a mixture of drugs that allows the user to summon the dead. Several of the tales blend fact into the fiction, nodding to the cultural giants whose deaths loomed over the year 2016: David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Prince, Carrie Fisher and others. These are detailed and developed stories, intended to instill within the reader a sense of timelessness and a comfort in the notion of infinity. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Arrison Kirby.

    Calm Sparkle , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 429min
    When Lisa has pulled every trick in the book to build her dream life, will the spark of an old flame send it all up in smoke? Will she outmaneuver fate one more time to keep her man where he should be and away from the Sparkle that started it all? This first novel in the series introduces Lisa and Sparkle. Two women, two different paths. One man. Who will win? Love, Lies, Lust. In the midst of all of this drama, someone has to remain calm. Meet Sparkle. Beyond the bubbly personality and contrary to her name, Sparkle guards a dormant heart. She's bored both at home and with her corporate job. Maneuvering through her daily duties on autopilot, she finds herself gradually submerging into a passive, emotionless life. Once a vibrant, active member in her church, she knows that the only way out of a marriage, albeit loveless, is through adultery. Unwilling to commit the cardinal sin herself, she resolves to existing without passion, romance or intimacy. Until...a chance meeting with a family friend introduces temptuous options to her otherwise boring life and her previously hibernating passion becomes reignited by an unexpected blast from the past. As temptation knocks directly on Sparkle's door, she finds herself asking, "Does God forgive us if the sin is premeditated?" Meet Lisa. Beautiful and brilliant, Lisa is married to the man of her dreams, Alex. Alex is a wealthy owner of a fleet of private jets and gives Lisa anything she wants. Lisa, determined to keep him the same way that she hooked him ... which was by any means necessary, finds herself tangled in a continuous web of lies and schemes. Through a series of suspicious yet circumstantial mishaps, she begins to feel threatened by an unknowing woman from her husband's past. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Cee Scott.

    The 86th Village (eBook, ePUB)
    "A moving debut."-Criminal Element One of the "Most Anticipated Crime Fiction of 2022" by CrimeReads One of the "Most Anticipated Mysteries and Thrillers of 2022" by Criminal Element Throughout Southern India, eighty-six villages are set to completely submerge due to a government-sanctioned dam across the Krishna river. Nilgi, one such village on the banks of the mighty River Krishna, has so far escaped unscathed from the illegal iron-ore mining and floods that have ravaged the rest of the district for decades. The village believes itself to be indestructible and incorruptible despite warnings of impending doom. With whole mountains disappearing from the mining around Nilgi over time, the threat of a big flood submerging the entire village is imminent. One night, Reshma, a young orphan girl appears in the village, alone and without any possessions. The villagers, not knowing what else to do, take her to Raj Nayak-the patriarch of the leading family in the village who has been organizing and leading anti-dam movements. For several years he's been lobbying the corrupt government for fair compensation to be paid to the people who will lose their livelihoods and property to the mines and the flood. But Reshma's presence, and the mystery of her origins, sets off a chain of events threatening the protests, the family, and Nilgi itself. Soon, secrets and corruption flood the village along with the waters. In this poignant and beautiful debut, the reader discovers the damage-both to people and the environment-wrought by human hubris and greed, and asks whether it is ever too late to right a wrong?
