    Living Up the Street , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 344min
    Growing up Mexican-American in Fresno, California in the 1950’s and 60’s might not have been easy, but it was certainly never boring for young Gary Soto, his brother Rick and sister Debra. As this compilation of 21 short stories and articles illustrates, there is no limit to the amount of fun a child can have, or how much he can terrorize siblings and neighbors if his imagination is active. Whether it’s beating the new neighbor kids with bagged cats, or staring into a fan for an hour without blinking while imagining he is a World War I biplane pilot, Soto passes along humorous and compelling life lessons and tales of coming of age. Gary Soto, author of The Skirt, teaches creative writing at the University of California, Berkeley. He often writes about what it is like growing up Mexican-American, and has produced two short films for Spanish-speaking children. Stories include: “Being Mean”, “Looking for Work”, “The Beauty Contest”, “Saturday with Jackie”, “The Small Faces”, “Bloodworth”, “One Last Time”, “Being Stupid”, and “Getting By”. ungekürzt.

    Arduino Programming: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Learn Arduino Programming Step by Step , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 191min
    In case you’ve never heard of an Arduino before, it is an open-source electronic interface that has two parts: the first is the programmable circuit board, and the other is a coding program of your choice to run to your computer. Arduinos come in many forms, including the Arduino Uno, LilyPad Arduino, Redboard, Arduino Mega, Arduino Leonardo, and others which we will explain later on. If you’re unfamiliar with programming, this is a good place to start. The Arduino can be programmed in various types of programming languages, and its wide array of Arduino options can give you more programming experience. Arduinos come with additional attachments, some in the form of sensors, and others can be obtained anywhere and can be attached to the various ports on an Arduino. Arduino is a great stepping stone on the way to understanding programming and sensor interaction. In programming languages, there is always the well-known program “Hello World” that is showcased on the screen. In the micro-controller world that we are in, this phase or first program is indicated by a blinking of the light “on” and “off” to show that everything you have set up works correctly. ungekürzt.

    The Phantom Detective, Volume 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 431min
    The man in the mask. High atop the Clarion Tower, a blinking red light begins to pulse signaling one of New York City's most illustrious, vigilante heroes, the Phantom Detective. In reality, he is Curtis Van Loan, a debonair playboy millionaire well known in the society columns of all the major dailies. What is hidden from the public is Van Loan's dedication to law and order. A decorated combat pilot during World War I, he is an expert fencer, ju-jitsu master, and speaks a dozen foreign tongues fluently. Hidden in his Park Avenue penthouse is a secret closet containing clothing of all descriptions and sizes. Along the wall are weapons; automatic rifles, sub-machine guns. There is also a miniature lab along with an extensive make-up kit that allows him to don different faces as his mission requires. Forget the silly top hat featured on the old pulp covers, while in action the Phantom Detective wore a belted topcoat, a fedora, and black domino mask. He carried a .45 automatic and a hidden knife in his left sleeve. This popular pulp icon returns now to once more battle villainy and crime in five new cases by Gene Moyers, Whit Howland, Robert Ricci, and two from Gary Lovisi. Each recaptures the fun, excitement, and thrills of this classic hero from the past - the Phantom Detective! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: David Gilmore.

    From Dust, a Flame

Her mother has kept her and her brother, Gabe, on the road for as long as she can remember, leaving a trail of rental homes and faded relationships behind them. No roots, no family but one another, and no explanations.All that changes on Hannah's seventeenth birthday when she wakes up transformed, a pair of golden eyes with knife-slit pupils blinking back at her from the mirror-the first of many such impossible mutations. Promising that she knows someone who can help, her mother leaves Hannah and Gabe behind to find a cure. But as the days turn to weeks and their mother doesn't return, they realize it's up to them to find the truth.What they discover is a family they never knew and a history more tragic and fantastical than Hannah could have dreamed-one that stretches back to her grandmother's childhood in Prague under the Nazi occupation, and beyond, into the realm of Jewish mysticism and legend. As the past comes crashing into the present, Hannah must hurry to unearth their family's secrets in order to break the curse and save the people she loves most, as well as herself.

    NAGODARA
    After saving Ayya in their first challenge instated multiverse-wide by the Dark One, Zreyas Rittak and the Visages celebrate their success. Celebrations are short-lived when Zreyas and Rhom find out about some visage deceptions causing a clash of wills. Zreyas strikes out on his own with no means of transportation to Earth, many Universes away with no modern technology, away from what little technology has learned and still doesn't understand, and on foot, only to find out the Dark One uses the quantum to cheat in the challenge. As the Dark One unleashes a new weapon from a demon dimension, Zreyas walks right into the den of danger. He knows he must sabotage the Janquar to weaken the Dark One's effort in the multiverse challenge in order to keep Ayya safe and keep all of existence from blinking out. But Visage Rhom is in trouble and has another problem that needs Zreyas's help, and it places Zreyas in a difficult position. Burdened by the weight of his Janquar past, Zreyas wants to refuse, but if he does, all might be lost. Can he work through those dark demons in his mind and take on this new role? Will he be able to juggle both problems at once and still sabotage the Dark One's efforts? NAGODARA is what ishKiia Paige lovingly calls Transformational Science Fiction Fantasy, where you can have fun and take your life to the next level without feeling like you are learning.

    Understanding Nonverbal Communication, Hörbuch, Digital, 368min
    Vocal tone and pitch. Posture. Eye contact and blinking. Gestures. Gait. Body type and clothing choices. How much of our communication is nonverbal? In Understanding Nonverbal Communication, you'll discover that nonverbal communication is less intentional and harder to control than the words you choose to speak. Because you are less aware of it than you are of your words, it provides better clues to what you are feeling and thinking. You can deliberately decide what to say, but from the deeper subcortical regions of your brain come your involuntary nonverbal expressions, including sweat, pupil dilation, facial movements, or blushing cheeks - any of which can speak more about your intentions or emotions than your actual words might. In 12 revealing lectures, you'll explore the history, evolution, and context of both the outright obvious and the sublimely subtle nuances of personal expression. The science of nonverbal communication has revealed intriguing insights into everything from how aspects of your reactions are biologically hardwired to how you are subconsciously influenced to vote by political speakers. You'll come to realize that the "invisible" world of nonverbal communication was always visible to you. You will explore the role of nonverbal communication as it relates to understanding other people's worldviews and interaction styles. With careful observation, you can capitalize on this science to further appreciate human expression, smooth social interactions, and strengthen relationships - helping to make the world a better and more accepting place.
