    The Know Nothing Party: The History and Legacy of America’s Most Notorious Nativist Political Party , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 95min
    “Immigration during the first five years of the 1850s reached a level five times greater than a decade earlier. Most of the new arrivals were poor Catholic peasants or laborers from Ireland and Germany who crowded into the tenements of large cities. Crime and welfare costs soared. Cincinnati's crime rate, for example, tripled between 1846 and 1853, and its murder rate increased sevenfold. Boston's expenditures for poor relief rose threefold during the same period.” (James McPherson)It is not uncommon that a failed movement or group from the past might be cited as a “cautionary” example for the world today. In the wake of contemporary debates over immigration, the “Know Nothings” have been regularly cited as an example of how dangerous nativist attitudes can become and, indeed, have proven to be in America’s history.Several columnists, for instance, have striven to make comparisons between the Know Nothings of antebellum America and President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, helping, in part, to generate modern interest in a political party that many Americans have heard of, but tend to know little about.The Know Nothing movement can actually be tied to a number of violent episodes and ethnically charged riots that occurred during the last 1850s. The debate over immigration in the 1850s was more than a clash of worldviews - it touched upon the core of America’s values.While nativists, like the Know Nothings, believed that immigrants who embraced politics from their native lands represented a threat to America’s values, those who opposed them argued that it was precisely America’s values that made immigration a necessity and a valuable component of American life.As the Republicans and Know Nothings spread from the ashes of the Whig Party, the Republicans, led by President Lincoln, rejected nativism and embraced a kind of American exceptionalism. Lincoln did not believe that America was “better” or even more “moral” than other ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kelly McGee.

    Dark Psychology Secrets: How to Influence People to Positive Behavior in Relationship with NLP. Discover the Art of Reading and Analyze People, Learning Emotional Manipulation and Mind Control , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 207min
    Everyone will have their own methods of exerting control over other people. It will be dependent on the naturally powerful aspects they already have, along with the status that they hold in life. These tactics will become part of their personality and will be the way that they are naturally used to reacting to different situations. Remember to not let these signals cause paranoia. Doing something once does not mean they’re manipulative. Sometimes we might panic, and this could cause us to feel as though we need to do something quick to try and gain control over a situation. When we react off of our instincts, it can sometimes be because we are not always thinking clearly, so maybe there is the chance that you have done something slightly manipulative in the past. You are looking for a pattern of manipulative behavior. It is not just once instance of manipulation that should make you feel as though you need to run from a person who tries to be controlling. What you need to be more cautious of is a pattern of behavior that another person seems to have. If they are, doing these things on a consistent basis, then it means that there is a good chance they will have more manipulative tendencies. The biggest red flag is if this pattern keeps happening and there is no effort from them or even acknowledgment that they should try and change the way that they handle their emotions. Sometimes this requires stepping outside the boundaries of how you might judge someone and viewing it from a bird’s eye perspective. It can be hard to see all of the restrictions of manipulation when you are already trapped in the web. Try to picture if you were the person outside of a manipulative relationship. How would you view it compared to how others might?  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Andy Baronson. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/196256/bk_acx0_196256_sample.mp3.

The themes are new, there are some wonderful and extremely useful new cautionary tales, and the focus this time is more on issues that face experienced divers. For example, there is more technical diving content, but, as usual, Simon covers complex issues in his usual clear and easy-to-listen-to style.

After all, as he says, technical diving is on the same spectrum as conventional sport diving: It is just a different frequency.Scuba Exceptional also deals in detail with the psychological approach to scuba diving, broaching topics from new angles and borrowing techniques and procedures from other fields of human activity.While most of Scuba Exceptional focuses on the diver, it also takes a look at the wider picture and highlights a number of areas where scuba diving professionals and the “industry” as a whole are letting divers down.
