A business man wants to divorce his unfaithful wife until he devises a plan that results in having her killed by one of her lovers. Jerry Jamison, the sexy, motorcycle riding private investigator, and cousin of Key West resident Rex Jamison, is in town to do some mundane PI work for an old friend who has been sidelined by an auto accident, when he finds that routine and mundane have a whole new meaning. Jerry gets embroiled when he takes some routine surveillance photos as a private investigator and then the subject is found dead on his watch. The photos of the lover leaving the house at the estimated time of her death become key evidence for the police. Detectives David Sharkey and Doug Webber are pleased to find that they have an open and shut case, a sad case of lust gone bad, ending in homicide. They even have surveillance photos by the PI hired to watch the wife while the husband is out of town. But their suspect says she was alive and well when he left the house. When people involved with the photos start dying of bullet holes, people start to believe that the police may have the wrong man in custody. However, the real killer is not done cleaning up the witnesses to his work. Jerry is spiraled into a vortex of deception, lies, and perhaps the ultimate set up for murder. But attorney R.

The Kraken Project: Wyman Ford, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 748min
Wyman Ford is back again in The Kraken Project, the thrilling new novel from New York Times best-selling author Douglas Preston. NASA is building a probe to be splashed down in the Kraken Mare, the largest sea on Saturn’s great moon, Titan. It is one of the most promising habitats for extraterrestrial life in the solar system, but the surface is unpredictable and dangerous, requiring the probe to contain artificial intelligence software. To this end, Melissa Shepherd, a brilliant programmer, has developed "Dorothy", a powerful, self-modifying AI whose true potential is both revolutionary and terrifying. When miscalculations lead to a catastrophe during testing, Dorothy flees into the internet. Former CIA agent Wyman Ford is tapped to track down the rogue AI. As Ford and Shepherd search for Dorothy, they realize that her horrific experiences in the wasteland of the Internet have changed her in ways they can barely imagine. And they’re not the only ones looking for the wayward software: The AI is also being pursued by a pair of Wall Street traders, who want to capture her code and turn her into a high-speed trading bot. Traumatized, angry, and relentlessly hunted, Dorothy has an extraordinary revelation - and devises a plan. As the pursuit of Dorothy converges on a deserted house on the coast of Northern California, Ford must face the ultimate question: Is rescuing Dorothy the right thing? Is the AI bent on saving the world…or on wiping out the cancer that is humankind? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Scott Sowers.

Stock Market Investing Mistakes Explained , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 39min
Just as with raising children or as with nurturing one's career, "success" within personal investing allows plenty of room for subjectivity. After exploring the common opinions of prominent economic actors, established entrepreneurs, and financial advisors, I have come to define a successful investor as someone who, with a moderate amount of time, devises an investment strategy to achieve financial objectives and personal objectives and who gains access to competitive returns by undertaking a certain degree of financial risk. Upon a careful investigation of recent market trends, investing research, and stock market perception, it becomes apparent that stock-market-specific decision making builds on both objective variables (unbiased reports, facts, financial figures, diagrams), and subjective factors (investors' reactions to quantifiable market indicators, such as apprehension, haste, stubbornness, fear, greed, impatience, etc.). Among the ranks of inexperienced stock-market investors, this overlap renders market actors prone to a number of investing mistakes, some bigger than others. In other words quality decision making in stock trading is not limited to staying up to date with the facts. Decision making is more about learning how to perceive and interpret the information you get in order to come up with conscious, well thought out action plans. Even the most knowledgeable and intelligent stock-market players can succumb to simple mistakes if they base their decisions on pure instinct instead of reasoning. In fact a large majority of mistakes are the consequence of subjective thinking - in other words of letting feelings take control when making decisions. Because of that, before we begin enumerating and discussing the most common mistakes and traps of stock market investing, we will first discuss the behavioral aspects of investing and probe into several important aspects of cognitive psychology. ungekürzt.

Turner continues Sarah's extraordinary story as she struggles to make a home in the Arizona Territory. Winter 1906. Nearing bankruptcy after surviving drought, storms, and the rustling of her cattle, Sarah remains a stalwart pillar to her extended family. Then a stagecoach accident puts in her path three strangers who will change her life. In sickness and in health, neighbor Udell Hanna remains a trusted friend, pressing for Sarah to marry. When he reveals a plan to grant Sarah her dearest wish, she is overwhelmed with passion and excitement. She soon discovers, however, that there is more to a formal education than she bargained for. Behind the scenes, Sarah's old friend, Maldonado, has struck a deal with the very men who will become linchpins of the Mexican Revolution. Maldonado plots to coerce Sarah into partnership, but when she refuses, he devises a murderous plan to gain her land for building a railroad straight to Mexico. When Sarah's son, Charlie, unexpectedly returns from town with a new bride, the plot turns into an all-out range war between the two families. Finally putting an end to Udell's constant kindnesses, Sarah describes herself as "an iron-boned woman." She wants more than to be merely a comfortable fill-in for his dead wife.

Uva's Shorts: A Selection of the Finest Stories Ever Told...or Not! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 764min
The capacity of organisms that provides data for perception is called a sense; as in the five senses in humans. This leaves a theory of overlapping topics, such as Cognitive Science and/or Philosophy of Perception. Or to put it into other words, there are five traditionally recognized senses. (Give (+) or take (-) four of them in a few Homo sapiens I personally know and/or hang-out with.) Ophthalmoception - Sight, Audioception - Hearing, Gustation - Taste, Olfacception - Smell, Tactioception - Touch. Whilst some species of animals are able to sense the world in a way that humans cannot. All this has nothing to do with my short stories. I just needed filler for the preface. Enjoy, Mike. "Fade-Out" - Comedy/Drama/Action. A tiny commercial film crew find themselves stranded after a coup d'état in a foreign country, with no means of escape and no help coming from the USA. The crew devises a plan to use the products for the advertisement, plus their former trades, and their current expertise as filmmakers; they hide their planned escape in plain sight. "Hell On Heels" - Comedy/Fable. The Devil sends his fashionista, stiletto-wearing daughter to capture the soul of a double-dealing FBI agent, who the Angel of Death has been assigned to protect. "Tippy" - Action. (Based on real enlisted marines who piloted the P-51 aircraft during WWII.) A backwoods US Marine mechanic becomes a Medal of Honor winning, "Triple Ace" pilot flying a P-51 during WWII. "Nirvana" - Drama. A female reporter investigating a seemingly simple story uncovers the truth about a double life, one that she has been unknowingly living. "Spray" - Coming of Age. An impoverished Tennessee country girl rises from obscurity to become one of the most celebrated woman surfers in America. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Rhiannon Angell.
