In the Colosseum, there’s a weapon more powerful than a sword or a spear. It’s brought me to my knees. I let a strange man into my home. He claims to be a physician from Alexandria. He claims to know the secret to godlike sexual performance. But the treatment he prescribed…it’s shocking. If I follow his instructions, I’ll lose everything. My status…my wealth…my dignity…I’ll be trading it away for this sexual blessing. And he says there are risks involved. I might get addicted. --- CONTAINS EXPLICIT GAY SEXUAL CONTENT.

A deep dive into the groundbreaking and bestselling video game series The critically acclaimed first-person shooter franchise Borderlands knows it’s ridiculous. It’s a badge of pride. After all, Borderlands 2 was promoted with the tagline “87 bazillion guns just got bazillionder.” These space-western games encourage you to shoot a lot of enemies and monsters, loot their corpses, and have a few chuckles while chasing down those bazillion guns. As Kaitlin Tremblay explores in Ain’t No Place for a Hero, the Borderlands video game series satirizes its own genre, exposing and addressing the ways first-person shooter video games have tended to exclude women, queer people, and people of colour, as well as contribute to a hostile playing environment. Tremblay also digs in to the way the Borderlands game franchise ― which has sold more than 26 million copies ― disrupts traditional notions of heroism, creating nuanced and compelling storytelling that highlights the strengths and possibilities of this relatively new narrative medium. The latest entry in the acclaimed Pop Classics series, Ain’t No Place for a Hero is a fascinating read for Borderlands devotees as well as the uninitiated.Ver libro
This recording has been digitally produced by DeepZen Limited, using a synthesized version of an audiobook narrator’s voice under license. DeepZen uses Emotive Speech Technology to create digital narrations that offer a similar listening experience to human narration. Schools and universities support misleading notions of 'progress' and development, fostered by the belief that ever-increasing production, consumption and profit are proper yardsticks for measuring the quality of human life. Our universities are the recruitment centres for the personnel of the consumer society, certifying citizens for service, while at the same time disposing of those judged unfit for the competitive rat race. In this bold and provocative book, Illich suggests some radical and exciting reforms for the education system.Ver libro
A fledgling community in the midst of stunning natural scenes, the St. Paul of yesteryear had a well-earned reputation for beauty and danger. Whiskey made the river city a byword for peril. Men brawled over small offenses and killed one another with near impunity. As crime flourished beyond the power of police control, vigilantes patrolled the streets. Irresponsible speculation and white-collar crime wrecked the local economy, devastating families and driving thousands out of town. The remaining St. Paulites rebuilt their community and economy, stimulating immigration, but more people meant more crime. In the 1870s, vice and violence spiraled into the Bloody Fall of '74, and St. Paul regained its reputation as a "dead tough" town. Historian Ron de Beaulieu reveals the past travails of life in this turbulent city.Ver libro
CONSCIOUSNESS OR SUPERCONSCIOUSNESS THIS IS THE DILEMMA The present society continues to run like a mad elephant, toward global catastrophe. Why do we continue on this road that leads us to a dead end, with end view our own self-destruction? The answer to this question lies in human consciousness itself, the cause of every problem, while Superconsciousness is the solution to every difficulty. What is the difference between consciousness and Superconsciousness? Superconsciousness consciously connects us with everything that exists, and to understand it better we can make the analogy of a network: everything in existence is like a node that can have the illusion of being separate from the rest of the network. Most people are like that, they feel like a node separated from the rest, like a single individual separated from the rest of Humanity. This feeling of separation is the mode in which consciousness operates.Ver libro
Words from Servant C. D. Bennett "...if knowledge is one of the main keys to success, and wisdom gives us the ability to apply that knowledge, then this book IS the tool that will give your marriage the best opportunity to last a lifetime." ...Are you looking for a manuscript on marriage? Then look no further, The Apostasy of Marriage offers a potpourri of information about our innate nature on how we are wired, what makes us tick, and how & why we respond the way we do, different types and levels of love, what, why, & how each gender nurtures and feeds from the other, and much much more! How does anyone know if their marriage is truly beyond saving? Marriage is a blessed union, one that most people enter into with the most faithful and loving intentions. However, with the current rate of divorce hovering at around 40 percent, it’s clear that many couples experience significant levels of dissatisfaction and unhappiness with their spouse at some point during their marriage, to the point where ending the marriage becomes a viable option for one or both parties. If your marriage has reached this level of unhappiness, The Apostasy of Marriage is the turning point you’ve been looking for. Designed as a resource and guide for men and women alike, Pastor Bennett’s reflections and summations will help you understand the critical questions and address issues that plague many marriages: · What principles did God establish for marriage? · What are the boundaries of marriage, and how does crossing these boundaries impact my relationship with my spouse? · What are some of the common abuses that occur during a marriage, and can the damage from these abuses be repaired? · The danger of “Stacking Chips” in your marriage Even though the light of your marriage under God may have greatly dimmed, The Apostasy of Marriage is the beacon that can help renew your commitment and shared love with your spouse, restoring both hope and healing into your troubled relationship.Ver libro
