How to Retire Young and Wealthy: Simple Principles Anyone Can Follow to Ensure a Financially Prosperous Retirement , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 69min
Don't listen to this book...unless you want a financially well-off retirement. How to Retire Young and Wealthy provides simple yet effective financial information that, sadly, most people don't know. The principles you'll learn usually aren't taught in school. I recently had a financial conversation with a smart, educated 31-year-old about what should be a well-known financial principle. I asked him if he'd ever heard of this principle outside of our conversation about it. The answer? "No." Yet it's critical to know about this principle and others like it if you're going to retire young and wealthy. That's what this book will teach you. How to Retire Young and Wealthy will not only educate you; it will inspire you. Chances are the book might also upset you, because no one else ever told you some of this information. I can't tell you how much I wish someone had taught me these simple principles years before I learned them. I ran across some of this information just by luck; it shouldn't have to be that way. This book has nothing to do with multilevel marketing, "little or no money down" real estate schemes, or any other method of increasing your wealth quickly and/or easily. Nor is this book a solicitation to buy any other product or service. And it's certainly not about any ethically questionable method for preparing for your retirement. I'll simply give you all the financial information you need to retire young and wealthy. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Robert.

The Bloviator: Sex, Drugs, Fraud, Suicide, Murder, Scandal, Adultery, Quackery, Corruption, Superstition and President Warren G. Harding. , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 935min
1923: Faced with impending personal and political scandals (corrupt cabinet members, drinking, gambling, failing health made worse by a quack physician, blackmailers attempting to exploit his numerous affairs and bastard children, murders, and suicides), President Warren G. Harding embarks on a cross-country train trip, from Washington D.C. to Alaska, in an effort to rehabilitate his chances for re-election - something he is unsure he even wants.But the GOP have lost faith in Warren. However, they have taken a liking to the idea of running the first-ever female president: Florence, his smart, and ambitious wife. After all, it had been Florence who had spearheaded the innovations that not only got Warren elected in 1920, but which are still used today: the creation of solicitation-telephone calls, celebrity endorsements, photo-ops, news reels, radio ads, direct marketing...and it was Florence who is both the brains of the outfit, and the star of this show. Harding is simply the handsome, good-natured, overly-trusting, face.Based on the true, last (and unbelievably bizarre) six months in the life of America's 29th President, The Bloviator tells the story of sex, drugs, scandals, blackmail, murder, suicides - and the presidency. The Bloviator is a "fiction fueled by fact" in that while some elements are constructions, they are well with-in the plausible, and probable, range of the facts.The Bloviator is an epic; a massive and sprawling work; history as absurdity, as if it were being filtered through a cracked prism - but the prism is not cracked. Most of the story told here is unbelievably, incredibly, based on true events. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Cuddy.

The Dark Box: A Secret History of Confession , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 427min
Confession is a crucial ritual of the Catholic Church, offering absolution of sin and spiritual guidance to the faithful. Yet this ancient sacrament has also been a source of controversy and oppression, culminating, as prize-winning historian John Cornwell reveals in The Dark Box, with the scandal of clerical child abuse. Drawing on extensive historical sources, contemporary reports, and first-hand accounts, Cornwell takes a hard look at the long evolution of confession. The papacy made annual, one-on-one confession obligatory for the first time in the 13th century. In the era that followed, confession was a source of spiritual consolation as well as sexual and mercenary scandal. During the 16th century, the Church introduced the confession box to prevent sexual solicitation of women, but this private space gave rise to new forms of temptation, both for penitents and confessors. Yet no phase in the story of the sacrament has had such drastic consequences as a historic decree by Pope Pius X in 1910. In reaction to the spiritual perils of the new century, Pius sought to safeguard the Catholic faithful by lowering the age at which children made their first confession from their early teens to seven, while exhorting all Catholics to confess frequently instead of annually. This sweeping, inappropriately early imposition of the sacrament gave priests an unprecedented and privileged role in the lives of young boys and girlsa role that a significant number would exploit in the decades that followed. A much-needed account of confession’s fraught history, The Dark Box explores the sources of the sacrament’s harm and shame, while recognizing its continuing power to offer consolation and reconciliation. ungekürzt.

LAN Switch Security (eBook, ePUB)
Contrary to popular belief, Ethernet switches are not inherently secure. Security vulnerabilities in Ethernet switches are multiple: from the switch implementation, to control plane protocols (Spanning Tree Protocol [STP], Cisco® Discovery Protocol [CDP], and so on) and data plane protocols, such as Address Routing Protocol (ARP) or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). LAN Switch Security explains all the vulnerabilities in a network infrastructure related to Ethernet switches. Further, this book shows you how to configure a switch to prevent or to mitigate attacks based on those vulnerabilities. This book also includes a section on how to use an Ethernet switch to increase the security of a network and prevent future attacks. Divided into four parts, LAN Switch Security provides you with steps you can take to ensure the integrity of both voice and data traffic traveling over Layer 2 devices. Part I covers vulnerabilities in Layer 2 protocols and how to configure switches to prevent attacks against those vulnerabilities. Part II addresses denial-of-service (DoS) attacks on an Ethernet switch and shows how those attacks can be mitigated. Part III shows how a switch can actually augment the security of a network through the utilization of wirespeed access control list (ACL) processing and IEEE 802.1x for user authentication and authorization. Part IV examines future developments from the LinkSec working group at the IEEE. For all parts, most of the content is vendor independent and is useful for all network architects deploying Ethernet switches. After reading this book, you will have an in-depth understanding of LAN security and be prepared to plug the security holes that exist in a great number of campus networks. Use port security to protect against CAM attacks Prevent spanning-tree attacks Isolate VLANs with proper configuration techniques Protect against rogue DHCP servers Block ARP snooping Prevent IPv6 neighbor discovery and router solicitation exploitation Identify Power over Ethernet vulnerabilities Mitigate risks from HSRP and VRPP Stop information leaks with CDP, PaGP, VTP, CGMP and other Cisco ancillary protocols Understand and prevent DoS attacks against switches Enforce simple wirespeed security policies with ACLs Implement user authentication on a port base with IEEE 802.1x Use new IEEE protocols to encrypt all Ethernet frames at wirespeed. This security book is part of the Cisco Press® Networking Technology Series. Security titles from Cisco Press help networking professionals secure critical data and resources, prevent and mitigate network attacks, and build end-to-end self-defending networks.- Shop: buecher
