The Dangers of Drinking Milk from Other Species, How Drinking Cow’s Milk Can Destroy Your Health, Why You Should Not Drink Milk from Other Species, and the Simple to Prepare Food Recipes for Longevity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 166min
This essay sheds light on the dangers of drinking milk from other species, elucidates how drinking cow’s milk can destroy your health, and reveals why you should not drink milk from other species. Moreover, the myriad of simple-to-prepare and palatable healthy food recipes for longevity are demystified and the multitude of deadly disease causing foods that you should always desist from ever considering devouring are revealed in this essay. Furthermore, how to substantially mitigate risks for succumbing to contracting perilous chronic diseases by embracing a salubrious, wholesome, heart healthy, brain healthy, kidney healthy, anticancer, antidiabetic, nutrient dense, alkaline, antioxidant rich, anti-inflammatory, raw fruitarian diet is expounded upon in this essay. While drinking milk may seem inconsequential, it is ill-advised to drink milk from another species since it can be perilous to your overall health. It is also an imprudent and consequential decision to drink an unhealthy, oxidized, acidic, non-alkaline drink, such as milk, especially when you can have the autonomy to drink distilled water. Milk is an oxidized product and the consumption of oxidized products is not without its repercussions against your sacrosanct health. “Oxygen free radicals for instance are very reactive molecules which can react with every cellular component. They are normally produced in organisms being involved in various biologic reactions. However, too high levels of these partially-reduced oxygen species can give rise to functional and morphologic disturbances in cells. There is evidence to implicate oxygen free radicals as important pathologic mediators in many disease processes.” (Martínez-Cayuela, 1995)Nothing salubrious can ever ensue from the oxidation of drinks nor food oxidation. For instance, “lipid and protein oxidation products formed during food production, storage, processing, and culinary preparation have been recently identified as potentially ungekürzt.

The Prohibition Era in the United States: The History and Legacy of America's Ban on Alcohol and Its Repeal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 72min
The Prohibition Era in the United States ran between 1920 and 1933, but its background and legacy are so massive and wide-ranging it may be affirmed that the subject is adhered to the country's history, from its first years until the modern era. In this 13-year period, the entire nation was forcibly converted to a society of non-drinkers. The movement formed slowly, exploding in 1920. Once it had passed, its effects continued to be felt through the rest of the 20th century. To this day, it can be said that Prohibition teaches an important lesson. The 18th Amendment making Prohibition constitutional and the Volstead Act detailing its enforcement did not come out of the blue - it was neither an electoral occurrence, nor was it a quick and surprising attack by a one interest group taking another unprepared. It was actually the result of a long period of indoctrination, a century of struggles between two political, and above all, moral positions: those who supported Prohibition - the so-called "drys", and those who opposed it, partly because they thought it should not be a government prerogative to control individual freedoms, also known as "the wets". The first group believed Prohibition of liquor, intoxicants, and saloons was a necessary measure to eradicate the great evils that were a part of the nation's life: drunken and violent husbands, labor accidents due to alcoholism, shattered homes, battered wives, and the family's patrimony lost in a single day. The wets defended a legitimate industry that produced jobs and taxes. They spoke of economic interests that would be damaged and of respect for sacrosanct individual freedom. ungekürzt.

Holes in the Sky: Zeb Hanks: Small Town Sheriff with Big Time Troubles Series, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 392min
Who owns what is traditionally considered sacred? Can the Catholic Church legally conspire with the federal government to steal the most sacrosanct of Native American holy places? Holes in the Sky, the second in the series Zeb Hanks: Small Town Sheriff with Big Time Troubles, explores these questions in a clash of cultures mixed with mysterious deaths. In the middle of the night a priest sits in a rocking chair on a dip in the highway at the foot of Mount Graham. His fate is death when the driver of a semi-truck barreling down the road on an overnight haul sends him to his maker. Sheriff Zeb Hanks is certain that Father McNamara's death is a suicide. Mounting evidence begins to tell him otherwise. Former sheriff, Jake Dablo, in his role as county commissioner, senses that potentially unscrupulous land deals are occurring on Mount Graham. Sheriff Hanks reluctantly agrees to help. Eskadi Black Robes, tribal chairman of the San Carlos Reservation, discovers that these properties are among the holiest places in Apache religion. Eskadi is certain they are being foreclosed upon and confiscated by the federal government. On the San Carlos Reservation a tribal gathering is called by medicine man Jimmy Song Bird. Song Bird has had a vision that great harm will come to the Apache people if they fail to pay heed to the Gods that inhabit Mount Graham. His vision is interpreted as a call for action. Meanwhile, Sheriff Hanks and his team must unravel the complex weave of sacred holy places, land rights, and the ever increasing body count, which means big time trouble for the small town sheriff. ungekürzt.

Europe Under the Old Regime: Power, Politics, and Diplomacy in the Eighteenth Century , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 180min
Behind the glittering facade of 18th century European civilization lurked some of the most brutal and cynical power brokers ever to practice the art of diplomacy, and ironically it was their blueprint for conquest that the French Revolution was to utilize so well. Europe Under the Old Regime is actually the preface to Sorel's tremendous and magnificently elaborate work, Europe and the French Revolution. In this brief introduction to his mighty history, Sorel gives us a sweeping and incisive understanding of the workings of court diplomacy as practiced from the time of Louis XIV up to the Revolution itself. It is an ugly picture of beautifully dressed women and gentlemen behaving in the most barbarous fashion, while doing so with grace and in a mannered style that was so brilliant and compelling that we can only wonder how they could carry out their perfidy and remain outwardly so cavalier. And yet, in the midst of sordid intrigue and heinous butchery, they did just that. Never in European history has such elaborate courtesy and refined behavior so thoroughly masked a vile intent. No one could be trusted. Thrones and kingdoms were partitioned and absorbed willy-nilly and their rulers sent packing...if they were lucky. Wars were frequent and horrible. Revenge, secret agreements, assassination: all in a day's work for an 18th century enlightened despot. When it came to "reasons of state", no kingdom was secure and no treaty sacrosanct. Diplomatic and military success were the only things that counted, and they were pursued with deadly zeal. This miniature masterpiece pierces the veil of 18th century manners and refinement to reveal the shocking truth of a "polite" aristocracy on the verge of self-immolation. Even after a hundred years, Europe Under the Old Regime remains one of the greatest historical essays ever written. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Charlton Griffin.

Unconventional Investment Strategies for How to Retire Young in Your Early Twenties, How to Become Wealthy at a Young Age, and What Every Student Wish They Knew and Were Never Taught , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 116min
This book sheds light on unconventional investment strategies for how to retire young in your early twenties and elucidates how to become wealthy at a very young age. Moreover, you'll also discover what every student wish they knew and were never taught.In the digital era, retiring in your early twenties is more viable than any time in history, especially with the monetization and global digital distribution capabilities of social media platforms. An exorbitant amount of millennials who have taken the circuitous path through life have been able to retire prematurely in their early twenties as a result of their business acumen, marketing shrewdness, unwavering self-discipline, and years of strategic hard work. These early retiree millennials understand the sacrosanct value of time, the earnings potential of entrepreneurship, personalized brand building, the long-term value of creating and buying income generating assets, and the financial outcome of accruing compound interest from their investments overtime. The early retiree millennials often embrace a minimalist life and have abstained from hemorrhaging their time. They forgo pursuing worthless degree programs that bear lofty tuition costs and egregiously massive opportunity costs. They understand that college students and graduate students who have taken the traditional educational college and graduate school path through life have dire qualms about their major educational decisions.It is disconcerting to hear that engineers succumb to being pizza delivery drivers, doctors succumb to working as day labors on farms, and lawyers even concede to being Uber drivers in order to generate income in the digital era. If earning a college degree, graduate degree, or even a doctorate cannot even help you attain a job, then it is unequivocally worthless. Unconventional investments strategies for how to retire young in your early twenties require you to make extreme concessions to undergo. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Bahl.

Why Men Should Never Have Children, the Disadvantages of Having Children, and How to Live a Fulfilling Life Even as a Father , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 80min
This essay sheds light on why men should never have children and also elucidates the disadvantages of having children. Furthermore, how to live a fulfilling life even as a father is delineated in this essay.In spite of its touted merits, there are ample reasons as to why men should desist from ever having children. The crux of the issue lies in the onerous burden that men perpetually bear when they bring children into the world.Although children can be a blessing to the multiverse, most parents are unprepared to diligently handle parental responsibilities nor do they have the income to adequately support the children’s lifestyle. When a man becomes a father, he has the strenuous responsibility of taking care of at least three or more people, including himself, his wife, and children. This albatross can be eminently costly to the man’s wealth and long-term health, especially in a highly stressful world in which the cost of living is perpetually increasing to an unprecedented level.The cost of raising a child is at least $400,000 and is expected to further amplify in the coming years. Moreover, unless the parents are willing to home school the child, the child will likely succumb to the calamitous burden and agonizing hardship of having to attend a 13 year, insalubrious, k-12 compulsory indoctrination camp in which they will be siphoned out of their finite, indispensable, precious time against their own volition. What further exacerbate matters is that they not only do not learn anything pragmatic in this 13 year, insalubrious, k-12 compulsory indoctrination camp, but also do not come out with anything of merit when they graduate. This type of deleterious environment not only stunts their growth by interfering with their ability to attain REM sleep due to homework overload and early class hours, but also discourages learning since the students cannot spend their sacrosanct time studying anything they are interested in ascertaining knowledge abo ungekürzt.

The Renaissance: A History From Beginning to End , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 61min
During the Middle Ages, the nations of Europe forged new identities that moved them away from the lost glory of the Roman Empire into their own ethnicity. The experience of maturation was often clumsy and out of step, an evolutionary process that saw the nation's developing at their own pace as they struggled to replace the protection of Rome with their own home-grown strength. What the nations, once they were ready to be described in that manner, did have was the Roman Catholic Church, which defined itself as the spiritual protector of Christian believers. But the dutiful Christians of the Middle Ages who sought orthodoxy and for the most part obeyed the papal rules underwent a change when the Middle Ages ended. The Renaissance, or rebirth, was a period of time when Europeans began to question what they had been told was sacrosanct. Through art, inventions, science, literature, and theology, the separate nations of the European continent sought answers that the Roman Catholic Church was unwilling, or perhaps unable, to offer. Learn about: The Rebirth of Europe The Italian Renaissance The French Renaissance The Spanish Renaissance The German Renaissance The Low Countries Renaissance The English Renaissance Here Be Dragons: Exploring the Unknown The Church that had become a powerful political entity was viewed with distrust and skepticism by many Christians; the spread of learning that accompanied the invention of Gutenberg’s printing press meant that bold new ideas were traveling across the boundaries of Europe faster than the Church could silence them. Lascivious, power-brokering popes could not bring a halt to the challenges they encountered when a German priest rebelled against corrupt practices that masqueraded as ecclesiastical authority.

Top Reasons Why You Are Poor, How to Develop an Abundance Mindset, and Effective Strategies for How to Build Substantial Wealth in the Digital Era Without Investment Money nor a Traditional Job , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 71min
This book provides the top reasons you are poor and elucidates how to develop an abundance mind-set. The book gives the most effective strategies for how to build substantial wealth in the digital era without investment money or a traditional job. As with most life decisions, being poor and destitute is a lifestyle choice that you choose to entertain if you still have not managed to lift yourself out of poverty. The primary reason behind being indigent can be traced back to hemorrhaging sacrosanct time pursuing non-revenue-generating activities. If you are wondering why you are poor, you should ultimately ask yourself how much of your finite time did you dedicate toward pursuing non-revenue-generating and non-brand-building activities? The long-term advantage of building a brand is that it can eventually elicit multiple revenue streams even if if your branded content is not monetizable in the short haul. Having a victim mentality and not doing everything in your purview to enrich yourself with more knowledge and high income skill sets so that you can offer significantly economic value may be another reason why you have not been able to pivot your way out of poverty. Beyond the aforementioned reasons, there are still a copious amount of reasons as to why you are eminently poor or, worse, financially insolvent. First, you may lack a financial education and frequently succumb to mismanaging money. Rather than buying future income generating assets such as bonds, stocks with high dividends yields, index funds, and rental properties, you are, instead, opting to buy items that do not generate you income, cost money to store, and may even be liabilities since they can be expensive to maintain and depreciate as their second hand market values grossly plunge. Second, you are probably living at or above your means and also inflate your lifestyle whenever you earn a pay raise. These excessive spending habits can be problematic since it preempts you from ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Art Stone.
