Serial Killers True Crime: Cold Blooded Terrifying Serial Killers from Around the World , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 97min
We live in a society obsessed with monsters. Think of all the television shows and movies in just the past two years featuring vampires, werewolves, and assorted creatures of the night. We like being scared, screaming in the middle of a crowded movie theatre and then awkwardly pretending it was someone else. The feeling that we can go home safe, believing that it wasn't real. But, monsters are real, and human beings can be the scariest of them all. It's an unfortunate fact that real life is sometimes more twisted than even the worst horror writer can imagine. Nowhere is this seen more clearly than when discussing serial killers. While many people can understand, if not condone, a crime of passion or vengeance, it is different for those who kill, time and time again, for reasons that the common person, could not hope to understand? Those familiar with the Criminal Minds series will already know that the FBI has spent a great deal of time and resources in tracking, capturing, and ultimately understanding serial killers. According to them, a serial killer can be classified as such if he (used loosely since there are female serial killers): Has killed a minimum of three or four individuals Has what is termed a "cooling off" period between kills Generally kills for reasons other than profit Typically chooses strangers as victims, although they may have some symbolic value, such as bearing similar features to the real but somehow unattainable target Exhibits a sadistic need to overpower/dominate victims, often by means of torture. These points help to distinguish a serial killer from spree killers or even mass murderers, since these two groups tend to lack a cooling off period. However, some experts have suggested the inclusion of a hybrid "spree-serial killer" category. This is because some serial killers have experienced prolonged periods of sequential murder without ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Francesca Townes.

Iris & Lily: Book Two , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 814min
In Book Two, the demands of marriage come crashing down on Iris and Lily, now living thousands of miles apart, both determined to gain the love and approval of their husbands and acquired families. The fairy-tale life Iris imagined herself living in Italy is abruptly put into focus by her overprotective husband, the respected anesthesiologist Gregorio Leale. Dottor Leale does not take kindly to alternative viewpoints or challenges to his authority and is disturbed by displays of spontaneity and individualism, stifling Iris' budding sensuality and dampening her innate enthusiasm. Lily’s circumstances as Mrs. Joe Diotallevi are even more daunting as she struggles to comprehend the peculiar dynamic of the close-knit Diotallevi tribe and its protectionist politics. Traditional values distorted by ignorance dictate the simplistic rules of existence which effectively condone Joe’s burgeoning gambling addiction and abusive behavior, leaving Lily dissatisfied as a woman, dismayed as a wife, and pinching pennies to pay the bills. Discouraged but not thwarted in their quests for personal development, in their desire to experience motherhood, in their dream of building a life with a man who will love and respect them, Iris and Lily silently stick to their choices despite moments of despair and temptation, shamed by their Catholic upbringing, paralyzed by their fear of failure and rejection, in the hope that a kinder destiny will reveal itself. Traveling back and forth between the Ligurian Riviera and Upstate New York, accompanied by the alternating voices of Iris and Lily, chapter by chapter you become the closest confidante of both, delving into each woman’s most intimate hopes and fears and learning more about her private predicaments than she feels comfortable revealing to her faraway sister - or admitting to herself. Iris & Lily: Book Two is the second in a three-volume series. The entire novel is also available as Iris & Li ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Julie Scipioni, Angela Scipioni.

Touching the Wire , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 733min
This title has been awarded a Gold Medal in the Historical Fiction event/era genre in the Readers’ Favorite 2019 Book Awards. "He had no way to tell her he had given her life: no right to tell her to abandon hope." A fictional tale of love and darkness in Auschwitz-Birkenau, and of every man and woman who bore the Auschwitz tattoo or was interred in Nazi death camps throughout World War Two, this Holocaust love story is inspired by real events. It is a tribute to the courage of victims of Nazi war crime during the Holocaust, sadly a part of Jewish history. The horror of Holocaust experiments carried out under the auspices of war and Hitler's obsession with a master race, are hard to understand, impossible to condone, and difficult to imagine forgiving. The human spirit that can find love in such a place must be rare indeed, but a person in dire circumstances will grab at a kindness where it is offered. Such is the premise of this story, and it asks the question, "Could you forgive?" Part One transitions between 1944-45 and the 1970s and continues in Part Two in the present day.Part One - In the Shadow of the Wolf In a death camp hospital in 1940s Poland, a young doctor and nurse struggle to save lives and relieve the suffering of their women patients. As their relationship blossoms, amid the death and deprivation, they join the camp resistance, and despite the danger of betrayal, he steals damning evidence of war crimes. Afraid of repercussions and for the sake of his post-war family, he hides the evidence, but hard truths and terrible choices haunt him, as does an unkept promise to his lost love. Part Two - Though the Heavens Should Fall In present-day England, his granddaughter seeks to answer the questions posed by her grandfather's enigmatic carving. Her own relationship in tatters, she meets a modern historian who, intrigued by the carving, agrees to help her discover its purpose. As her grandfath ungekürzt. Language: English.

It IS About Islam | Summary and Analysis of Glen Beck's It IS About Islam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 43min
Summary and analysis of Glen Beck's It IS About Islam: Exposing the Truth About ISIS, Al Qaeda, Iran, and the Caliphate Learn about the Muslim terrorist threat in a fraction of the time it takes to read/listen to the actual book! Glenn Beck begins his book with a stark declaration. The atrocities committed by some Muslims against non-believers of Islam are sanctioned by the Qur'an. Chapters (Sura) in the Qur'an tell followers of Islam it is their duty to declare war against non-believers: "Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor the last day." Other chapters condone taking of prisoners in war: "So, when you meet those who disbelieve, smite at their necks, then bind a bond firmly." (Meaning: Take them as captives) Further chapters tell that slaves, or captives, can be killed, sold, or ransomed back to their families. Beck continues by describing how there are Islamist fanatics all around us who are plotting to kill us in various ways. These fanatics operate under a religion which calls for the murder of anyone who doesn't submit to it. He also points out that not every Muslim believes in the violent actions some followers do. Not every Muslim condones the enforcement of sharia law. He then goes on to describe the difference between Islam and Islamism, with Islam being the religion of one-and-a-half billion people worldwide. Islamism is a supremacist regime that wants to enforce Islamic holy law, globally. Islamists, Beck explains, range from terrorists, such as members of Al-Qaida and ISIS, but also include many Muslims who believe everyone should follow their religion and see those who do not as lower class. He also points out that there are Muslims you work with, live next door to, and might have as part of your family who are targets of the Islamists as well. They believe in bringing Islam into the 21st century and making it compatible with other religions and by doing so are seen as not Muslim eno ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Bob Arthur.

Symphony No. 1 & Other Works
Alexander Negerevich began writing Symphony No. 1 in September 2007 at his home in Stanthorpe, Queensland, Australia and completed the four movement work after a prolonged illness in late 2008. The four-movement work aims at exploring the relationship between tonal and dissonant harmonic structures. The tonal elements of the Symphony contrast against the dissonant subject material, creating an almost 'love-hate' relationship. The First Movement (Moderato) begins with a melancholic theme doubled by oboes and trumpets. It is accompanied by underlying semiquaver woodwind passages that give way to brass and string flourishes. After a brief pause in the strings and horns, a short rhythmic figure is announced by the first trumpet and mimicked by other brass and woodwind instruments. This motif is explored and soon joined by slow ascending and descending glissandos in the upper strings, followed by horns. This is accompanied by similar glissandos in the lower strings. English horn and oboe then follow with brief lyrical melodies that give way to a new subject announced by the 1st and 2nd Violins. A triplet motif hovering on the same pitch appears above the strings and leads to an echo-like figure punctuated by the brass. Another detached three note rhythm is played by the 2nd horns and copied by various Wind and Brass instruments which leads into a crescendo chord with an underlying timpani roll that announces the Allegro Vivace. A change of key signature at this point, introduces dramatic string passages that are interplayed between Woodwind and Brass flourishes. After some jostling between parts a small fugue develops between opposing String voicing that eventually lead to a high pitched 4 note semitone cluster that is soon released by another new String triplet motif which soon leads to a brief Moderato section where the 1st Oboe nonchalantly remembers the opening theme of the Symphony. Immediately, the Allegro Vivace is then re-introduced and hurries towards a dramatic finale, with Timpani hammering along in high gear. With virtually no pause the Symphony progresses into the second movement (Adagio) by a long held sustained note introduced in the bass clarinet. Immediately, a five note bird-like motif, which is developed throughout this entire movement, is announced by the English horn. With continuous obstinacy this motif is re-introduced many times by different instruments. A second melodic motif is played by the Clarinet with a same pitch triplet that often is interrupted by minor second clashes in the background, that again argue between consonance and dissonance. The movement progresses to a second dramatic flourish which finally gives way to a receding minor fifth fall in the strings followed by a small bass clarinet solo which dies away completely to nothing. The Third Movement (Moderato) is introduced by a chord shared between woodwind and strings that quickly leads to a chorale style Brass passage. Each individual String part then announces a Canon-type motif, played in a minor key which bears the sound of "burgeoning optimism". When the lower strings finally take up the minor-theme, short triplet motifs are sounded by Flutes, Bassoons and Clarinets that lead to a long held Contra Bassoon and Timpani pause which introduces a delicate String tremolo section. After a "softly treading" pizzicato figure in the strings that accompanies French Horn solos, the Brass announce a new melodic figure which is expanded by all sections of the orchestra. An urgent crescendo leads to a loud spine-tingling climax within the movement. Lower Woodwind and Brass then develop a rousing Fortississimo, which drops in tension to a Flute flourish and English Horn solo. Finally the strings play a series of chords that are accompanied by Flutes and Horns which mimic the earlier pizzicato of the Strings. The fourth movement Allegro Moderato begins with an "urgent", "pressing" motif announced by Horns and Trombones whilst Timpani rolls thunder underneath. Wind and Brass announce short thematic motifs that are strongly accompanied by rapid broken chord passages within the Strings. A two-bar Timpani solo leads into a slowly expanding crescendo, of small semiquaver motifs, played by the Strings to a huge climax. Towards the conclusion of the movement a slower tempo change occurs heralded by a long Bassoon note which is joined by a small Bass Clarinet solo, reminding the listener of the second movement thematic material. Gradually the musical focus changes into a punctuated dotted rhythm with rising triplet flourishes that culminate in a dynamic ending. The Lament on Shattered Lives was composed in 2007. It reflects the tragedy of daily life for innocent Iraqi citizens going about their daily business in the unstable environment post Saddam Hussein. Influenced by the daily news reports filtered through the worldwide media, the Lament depicts the atrocities committed by terrorists and extremists, bent on causing mayhem and destruction. Upon listening to one such news report, telling of the deaths of more than fifty people killed by a senseless act of destruction, the composition aims at reflecting the belief that no religion can condone the death of innocents for any reason, nor can any human justification be given for such barbarism. The Lament is composed for String Orchestra alone. Cellos introduce a melancholy five bar melody which gradually is taken up by each section playing the same theme. The work then moves into a forceful passage of suspensions. After a climax of repeated notes, the tension is released and then interrupted by a surge of dissonance that depicts the peace of daily life being forever interrupted by shattering explosions. Another tonal cluster with each section appears in two bar intervals and grows in intensity into a frenzied rhythmic attack. This climax unwinds into a fading, but ominous sounding duet between the cello and double bass sections. New thematic material emerges in the middle section, with the theme being enveloped by tremolo and counter melodies. After a second round of dissonant triplets, the original theme returns in a new key and fades to a peaceful ending. The Manhattan Requiem was composed on the very day American citizens and the world witnessed the tragedy of September 11th, 2001. The composition is a tribute to those Americans and individuals of different nationalities who lost their lives as a result of the terrorist attacks that occurred. The composition was originally conceived and written for Piano Quartet, but was subsequently reworked one year later for full String Orchestra with timpani in an expanded form. The work depicts the horror and tragedy of the day through long, drawn-out chord clusters with suspensions. The unison movement of the work portrays a chorale structure, reminiscent of a hymn. The work concludes with layered sections building towards a climax.- Shop: odax
