    Patriotic Grace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 245min
    Peggy Noonan's Wall Street Journal column has been must reading for thoughtful liberals and conservatives alike. Now she issues an urgent, heartfelt call for all Americans to support the next President. Because it is not the threats and challenges we face, but how we face them that defines us as a nation. The terrible events of 9/11 brought us together in a way not seen since World War II. But the stresses and divisions of the Bush years have driven us apart to a point that is unhealthy and dangerous. Today, Noonan argues, the national mood has swung the other way and it is well past time for politicians to catch up. We long for leaders who can summon us to greatness and sacrifice, as they did in the long struggles against fascism and communism. In this timely essay, written in the pamphleteering tradition of Tom Paine's Common Sense, Noonan reminds us that we must face our common challenges together, not by rising above partisanship, but by reaffirming what it means to be American. ungekürzt.

    I wish you would stop moaning and put that tongue to a better use than talking! For a fraction of a second only, Emily paused, then she was fluttering her eyelids, "Yes Mistress." Grinning, Rita swung her legs up onto the bed and reaching out she grasped a handful of her lover's hair, kissing her hard upon the mouth for a moment, sucking her tongue in between her lips, fighting it with her own before she gave a lusty snarl into Emily's face, "You are such a gorgeous little slut aren't you?" "I don't know, I just want to serve you Mistress," came the reply, drawing another lusty chuckle from the pink haired beauty as she laid back and stretched her legs out on the bed, thighs wide. "Put that tongue to work...I need to relax!" "Yes mistress." Emily crawled between the tanned legs of Rita, her fingertips dragging down the woman's pink lace panties before she folded them and placed them at the foot of the bed nicely. ungekürzt.

    Perceptrons
    The first systematic study of parallelism in computation by two pioneers in the field.Reissue of the 1988 Expanded Edition with a new foreword by Léon BottouIn 1969, ten years after the discovery of the perceptron which showed that a machine could be taught to perform certain tasks using examples Marvin Minsky and Seymour Papert published Perceptrons, their analysis of the computational capabilities of perceptrons for specific tasks. As Léon Bottou writes in his foreword to this edition, Their rigorous work and brilliant technique does not make the perceptron look very good. Perhaps as a result, research turned away from the perceptron. Then the pendulum swung back, and machine learning became the fastest-growing field in computer science. Minsky and Papert's insistence on its theoretical foundations is newly relevant.Perceptrons the first systematic study of parallelism in computation marked a historic turn in artificial intelligence, returning to the idea that intelligence might emerge from the activity of networks of neuron-like entities. Minsky and Papert provided mathematical analysis that showed the limitations of a class of computing machines that could be considered as models of the brain. Minsky and Papert added a new chapter in 1987 in which they discuss the state of parallel computers, and note a central theoretical challenge: reaching a deeper understanding of how objects or agents with individuality can emerge in a network. Progress in this area would link connectionism with what the authors have called society theories of mind.

    The Why of War: An Unorthodox Soldier's Memoirs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 308min
    For me, Iraq didn't have many gunfights or arm bars. No pillage or rape. No elation for freed Iraqis or empathy when its dictator swung from a hangman's noose. I was angered by having had to go and wanted to crack the world open and pour out her rotten core.The Why of War chronicles 15 years of my US cavalry scout career. From introduction to conclusion, from stroke to mass shootings, this story is guaranteed to be seared into your memory. Now that the story has been written and has flowed to its truth, I realize it encompasses so much more than a question or a collection of memories. It serves as a bullhorn for other veterans to use to tell their stories. I am confident, I wasn't the only one asking why we invaded Iraq while I was there. Civilian listeners may gain a better understanding when thanking a veteran for their service.In many ways, the story serves as a reminder that no matter where we find ourselves, what condition to which we have fallen, we can be better. We owe that to our fallen soldiers. Welcome to my why of war.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tweet Productions.

    Pines: A Logger Repents , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 8min
    This book tells the story, in lively lyrical verse, of Caleb, an old logger from the days of saw and ax. After a long career chopping down trees, he finally meets his match and learns a life-changing lesson.Most folks link pine trees with Christmas, small and in a corner of the room, but their big brothers live in the great forests. Logging is an American way of life. Pioneers swung axes to win logs from the virgin forests and build family homes. Later, folks earned a living by exporting the lumber. Huge swathes of timber covered much America. Exploitation was inevitable.Ancient trees soared skywards in a challenge to fearless men. Loggers roaming the early forests were a band of adventurous characters. Daring exploits became legend. Many a tall tale spiraled up with the campfire sparks as weary men exchanged yarns. Stories of a giant of a man called Paul Bunyan, and his blue ox Babe, became popular. They have featured in books and films ever since.At a time of growing awareness of the folly of destroying natural resources, this story shows the need to change our ways - no matter how old we are. ungekürzt.

    Ronicky Doone, Hörbuch, Digital, 326min
    Ronicky Doone is a western novel by Max Brand.Excerpt from the book: "He came into the town as a solid, swiftly moving dust cloud. The wind from behind had kept the dust moving forward at a pace just equal to the gallop of his horse. Not until he had brought his mount to a halt in front of the hotel and swung down to the ground did either he or his horse become distinctly visible. Then it was seen that the animal was in the last stages of exhaustion, with dull eyes and hanging head and forelegs braced widely apart, while the sweat dripped steadily from his flanks into the white dust on the street. Plainly he had been pushed to the last limit of his strength. The rider was almost as far spent as his mount, for he went up the steps of the hotel with his shoulders sagging with weariness, a wide-shouldered, gaunt-ribbed man. Thick layers of dust had turned his red kerchief and his blue shirt to a common gray. Dust, too, made a mask of his face." Language: English. Narrator: Lucy Fletcher.

    With or Without You: A Memoir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 432min
    A haunting, unforgettable mother-daughter story for a new generation - the debut of a blazing new lyrical voice Domenica Ruta grew up in a working-class, unforgiving Italian town north of Boston where in the seventeenth century women were hanged as witches. Her mother, Kathi, a notorious figure in this hardscrabble place, was a drug addict and sometime dealer whose life swung between welfare and riches, whose highbrow taste was at odds with her base appetites. And yet she managed, despite the chaos she created, to instill in her daughter the idea that art - via a classic film or a classical education - could transcend this life of undying grudges, self-inflicted misfortune, and the crooked moral code that Kathi and her cohorts lived by. With or Without You is the story of Domenica’s unconventional coming of age - a darkly hilarious chronicle of a misfit ’90s childhood and the necessary and painful act of breaking away, and of overcoming her own addictions and demons in the process. In a brilliant stylistic feat, Domenica Ruta has penned a powerful, inspiring, pause-resisting, and finally redemptive story about loving and leaving. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    Lesbian: Tessa's Hunger , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 70min, (USK 18)
    I'm really looking forward to meeting your parents, Tessa said. Her fiancé smiled. "I'm sure they'll love you, just like I do." Her face glowed as they stepped out of the BMW. But behind the glow, Tessa didn't feel so good. The thought of meeting Anton's parents made her stomach quiver. With her violin case tucked under her arm, she grabbed her suitcase from the trunk, then stopped and stared at the marvelous mansion before her. She gasped. Growing up in a poor enclave of Russian immigrants, Tessa had only seen this kind of opulence in the movies. "Wow, what a wonderful house." Anton smirked as he stepped up the driveway. "Yes, I suppose it'll do until the renovations are done. Those columns are looking awfully ragged." Tessa took choppy steps toward up the driveway to join her fiancé at the front door. Anton took her hand, but that didn't do much to relax her. She had a bad feeling about this week. After ringing the bell, they waited as Tessa's envious glare crept up the Victorian brick wall. "I bet a place this huge takes forever for your parents to clean." Anton chuckled. "What's so funny?" "Well, you see - " The door swung open... ungekürzt. Language: English.
