  In an age when local daily papers with formerly robust reporting are cutting sections and even closing their doors, the contributors to The Life of Kings celebrate the heyday of one such paper, the Baltimore Sun, when it set the agenda for Baltimore, was a force in Washington, and extended its reach around the globe. Contributors like David Simon, creator of HBO’s The Wire, and renowned political cartoonist Kevin Kallaugher (better known as KAL), tell what it was like to work in what may have been the last golden age of American newspapers -- when journalism still seemed like “the life of kings” that H.L. Mencken so cheerfully remembered. The writers in this volume recall the standards that made the Sun and other fine independent newspapers a bulwark of civic life for so long. Their contributions affirm that the core principles they followed are no less imperative for the new forms of journalism: a strong sense of the public interest in whose name they were acting, a reverence for accuracy, and an obligation

  Ever found yourself staring into the void and wished it would at least tell a good joke? Wonder how a chain-smoking French philosopher with unflattering glasses became an intellectual sex symbol? Want to understand existentialism without developing an addiction to black turtlenecks and cigarettes? 
  "Sartre's No Exit" is the antidote to pretentious philosophical despair you've been waiting for. This irreverent guide takes you on a sarcasm-soaked journey through Jean-Paul Sartre's most influential ideas—from radical freedom and bad faith to the hellishness of other people—all while mercilessly mocking the man who made existential angst fashionable. 
  In these pages, you'll discover: 
  How Sartre transformed teenage angst into a philosophical system (and got famous for it) 
  Why your freedom is both absolute and absolutely terrifying 
  How we all lie to ourselves about our lies to ourselves 
  The philosophical roots of your social anxiety and public bathroom discomfort 
  Why "Hell is other people" doesn't mean what you think (but is still a great excuse for canceling plans) 
  How Sartre maintained numerous affairs while writing about authenticity 
  Essential tips for hosting your very own existentialist dinner party, complete with nihilistic cocktails! 
  Whether you're a confused student forced to read "Being and Nothingness," a curious reader wanting to understand what the fuss is about, or someone who enjoys watching intellectual pretension get skewered by razor-sharp wit, this book is your perfect introduction to the man who made misery sound profound and smoking indoors seem philosophical.

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  “These Merovingians are said to be a dynasty of Frankish, priest-kings, with magical powers…..” 
   
  The whole history of the Holy Grail is linked inextricably with the mysterious family called the Merovingians. It was a name used in the blockbuster, The Matrix, because of the power the name holds. Why? 
   
  There are tales of mystery and magic, of wisdom and light and last but not least of all, descent from God himself via His Son, Jesus, and His supposed wife, Mary Magdalene. 
   
  Some even go so far as to say that the Merovingian’s were descended from an ultra-ancient race of fallen angels that spawned the globe, taking wisdom and knowledge with them as Atlantis sank. 
   
  The truth is that the line of Merovech was very special and worshipped the serpent. Their history is one of the most magical, mystical and murderous tales. 
   
  We will discover that their very bloodline was so special to a secret and sacred order or serpent worshippers, that their lives were in constant danger. That, and they held a dark secret that was twisted out of all recognition by the Christian Church. 
   
  Prepare to discover the real secret of the Da Vinci Code.

  The Enneagram for Black...

  The Enneagram is an ancient system of human development that shows us the limiting stories that keep us stuck in unhelpful patterns, and invites us into more expansive stories. For too long, conversations about the Enneagram and its personality types have been centered on and by whiteness. In The Enneagram for Black Liberation, certified Enneagram teacher and trained psychotherapist Chichi Agorom reclaims the Enneagram as a powerful tool for Black women to rediscover our wholeness and worth that existed long before systems of supremacy told us we weren't enough. 
   
   
   
  For Black women, our Enneagram personality types reflect more than just our way of being in the world; they are shaped by armor that we use to protect ourselves from pain, suffering, and shame. Breaking down each Enneagram type as a form of armor, this book offers practices to help Black women begin to build a sense of self separate from our mechanisms of self-protection, while working to dismantle the systems that require us to stay constantly armored up. Chichi Agorom takes listeners through each of the nine Enneagram types, along with stories of Black women who identify with them. In the process, Agorom seeks to inspire us to expand beyond our type patterns. 
   
   
   
  Agorom invites each of us to claim the Enneagram as our tool in the continued fight for liberation.
