  “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly: three men who, outside any democratic process, have occupied the throne of Europe's emperor: President of the ECB. Dutchman Wim Duisenberg resembles Louis XV: a beloved king, but a dilettante whose clumsiness is incompatible with the exercise of power. France's Jean Claude Trichet is Charlemagne, the emperor of emperors. Italy's Mario Draghi has traits in common with Caesar Borgia: talented, intelligent, creative... but with a dark and sometimes disturbing side. In this biting book, peppered with personal anecdotes, Jean François Bouchard takes a hard look at the workings of the ECB. Competent or incompetent? Too concerned with private interests? Insensitive to states and citizens? We know the Greek answer: let Draghi visit Athens unescorted, and his guts will be used to hang him from the columns of the Parthenon. The author invites us to rethink the ECB, to inject checks and balances into it and help turn around the European economy.

  A great book for young folks who want to become entrepreneurs, and a perfect graduation gift for anyone who is thinking about going into business.Written by a serial entrepreneur and private equity manager who shares his own journey in a way that is easy to apply.Are you thinking of a career pivot out of the 9-5 and don't know where to start? This book is for you. It provides a unique and simple framework for understanding what you can do to leverage your current work and life skills into the business world. Maybe you're stuck at a job you hate and wishing for a way out...trying to think of a big idea that will make you a shark tank contender? This book will make things a lot easier than you might believe.  This book has been compared to The Richest Man in Babylon as well as The Alchemist, but it is also the kind of transformative book that people have likened to Rich Dad. Poor Dad, and The 4-Hour Workweek.  You'll learn from real stories of business and you'll get memorable principles that come from an entertaining ancient parable. A story as old as time: a person taking control of their own destiny. A boy becomes the king's flyswatter, a seemingly unimportant job with no real prospects. Compared to today's world, where employees expect a succinct and tangible path of promotions and raises, fly-swatting seems like torture. But, with the help of a few key mentors, Ubar of ancient Babylon learns that there's more to the position than meets the eye. After all, he spends his days standing at the wise king's side, watching as he renders royal judgment on his citizens' disagreements. It's Ubar's responsibility to learn as much as possible without sacrificing his performance at swatting flies, a mundane job.  The parable of the King's Flyswatter holds up remarkably well when entwined with modern stories of people who took the skills they learned in their jobs and set off on their own paths. Modern day executives and entrepreneurs understand the importance of going above and beyond at work, forging connections, and gaining a deeper understanding of the industry, even when they hated the job.They mastered their job, their boss's job, and made themselves invaluable as employees. That hard work and dedication paid off later when they were able to pursue a lifestyle that suited their needs, financial and emotional. They gained agency once they realized that they worked for themselves, even in a monotonous job working for someone else. This is the Way of the Flyswatter. The King's Flyswatter is a combination of an ancient parable and the author's real-life experiences as an entrepreneur, all wrapped up in actionable wisdom that working-people can use to find their own path to success. The alternating chapters about the author's own journey, and the stories of his friends and business partners, help punctuate the book with actionable principles and real-life applications.

  LibriVox volunteers bring you 17 recordings of Two Musicians by Sarah Orne Jewett. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for January 16, 2011.She published her first important story in the Atlantic Monthly at age 19, and her reputation grew throughout the 1870s and 1880s. Her literary importance arises from her careful, if subdued, vignettes of country life that reflect a contemporary interest in local color rather than plot. Jewett possessed a keen descriptive gift that William Dean Howells called "an uncommon feeling for talk — I hear your people." (summary by Wikipedia)
