The Puppy Sleep Solution - Calm...

Vivienne Trask Moon

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. You are likely running on fumes. The late-night whimpers, the early-morning barking, the constant worry about accidents, it all takes a profound toll, and the anxiety that accompanies it is a heavy burden. Many new puppy owners feel adrift, unsure of how to quiet the nocturnal chorus and restore peace to their homes. The generic advice often tossed around, like simply pushing through the exhaustion or hoping your puppy tires itself out, rarely offers a sustainable solution.

We will move beyond guesswork and provide a clear, structured path forward, transforming those stressful nights into a blueprint for calm and restful sleep, for both you and your new companion. The success of any long-term sleep plan hinges on the groundwork laid in these initial days.

The Rice Tree Chronicles

Earle S Hotta

A friend once asked the author how many countries I had visited and what was on my bucket list, and his reply was that it wasn't filled with things or places, but with people like "The Walnut Man" or "The Albeeno Aborigine" and the Ladyboy in "Bangkok Confidential" that he had met along the way and the stories that they shared about themselves. If anything, a little bit of luck, patience, and an ear for listening have made all the difference in seeing the world through a different set of lenses.


The richness of travel is in each footstep taken like walking el Camino de Santiago in Spain, where each day is a new adventure along an 800-kilometer trail filled with stories of personal challenge, hardships overcome, immense satisfaction, and a bookmark in the lives of people from all corners of the world.


Each story, each memoir is merely a point in time in someone's life and the reward was having it handed to you as a gift.

From Bicycle to Bentley - A...

Stephen Little

Stephen takes the reader from his earliest school days when it became clear he was academically bright, especially in math, attending prep school, winning a scholarship to major public school Uppingham where he won math prizes and, aged 16, passed 3 S (scholarship) levels. By then he had decided to be a bookie. He attended an interview for Cambridge University only because it was on his bicycle route to Newmarket races!
 

 
Unable to work in any gambling job until 18, he set about visiting racecourses by bicycle, staying in youth hotels (17½p per night), eventually cycling to all racecourses in the UK, including several now-defunct courses.
 

 
At 18 he found employment with Beresford & Smith in London; aged 24 he got his first bookie’s license in 1971 and by the age of 40 in 1986 was betting big on the rails at major meetings such as the Grand National, Cheltenham, Derby, Royal Ascot and Glorious Goodwood, often laying bets to lose £100,000 or more - when money was worth nearly twice today’s value - one of the few bookies who happily stood "toe to toe and traded blow for blow" with big hitters like JP McManus, Barney Curley, Michael Tabor and Harry Findlay.
 

 
In 1998 changes in pitch administration prompted early retirement, and he sold his pitches, worked for a few unsatisfactory years for Corals and then departed the big time - with a Bentley as well as a bicycle, a house in Georgian Bath and a satisfactory bank balance.
