Author: H. Keith Melton, Robert Wallace
Narrator: Perry Daniels
A top-secret manual for training CIA field agents in deception and sleight-of-hand was thought to be a rumor...until a single surviving copy was discovered in the agency's archives. In 1953, a top-secret manual teaching agents sleight-of-hand and other deception techniques was written for the CIA by America's then most famous magician. All copies were believed destroyed by the CIA's purge of the infamous MKULTRA documents in 1973, and there was no proof of the manual's existence . . . until a copy was discovered among the CIA's recently declassified archives. Along with the original text, espionage historian H. Keith Melton and longtime CIA gadgeteer Robert Wallace provide an introduction illuminating the history of CIA agent deception and dirty tricks, and the role of this secret manual in that highly controversial program.

The Numbered Discourses (Aṅguttara Nikāya) is the last and longest of the four primary divisions of the Sutta Piṭaka, (Baskets of Discourses) that make up the main original teachings of the Buddha.
The word aṅguttara literally means 'up by one factor', i.e. 'incremental'. It refers to the fact that the discourses are arranged by numbered sets, with the numbers increasing by one. It is divided into 11 Books (nipāta), each arranged in varying number of Chapters (vaggas), which themselves contain numerous suttas (often grouped in thematic clusters).

Author: Akira Otani | Narrator: Cindy Kay | Translator: Sam Bett
Tokyo, 1979. Yoriko Shindo, a workhorse of a woman who has been an outcast her whole life, is kidnapped and dragged to the lair of the Naiki-kai, a branch of the yakuza. After she savagely fends off a throng of henchmen in an attempt to escape, Shindo is only permitted to live under one condition: that she will become the bodyguard and driver for Shoko Naiki, the obsessively sheltered daughter of the gang's boss.
Eighteen-year-old Shoko, pretty and silent as a doll, has no friends, wears strangely old-fashioned clothes, and is naive in all matters of life. Originally disdaining her ward, Shindo soon finds herself far more invested in Shoko's wellbeing than she ever expected. But every man around them is bloodthirsty and trigger-happy. Shindo doubts she and Shoko will survive much longer if nothing changes. Could there ever be a different life for two women like them?

Free Download Ross Mitchell, Derek Shoales (Narrator), "The Next Supercontinent: Solving the Puzzle of a Future Pangea"
English | ASIN: B0D685R3PH | 2024 | MP3@64 kbps | ~07:39:00 | 210 MB
You've heard of Pangea, the single landmass that broke apart some 175 million years ago to give us our current continents, but what about its predecessors, Rodinia or Columbia? These "supercontinents" from Earth's past provide evidence that land repeatedly joins and separates. While scientists debate what that next supercontinent will look like-and what to name it-they all agree: one is coming.
In this engaging work, geophysicist Ross Mitchell invites listeners to remote (and sometimes treacherous) lands for evidence of past supercontinents, delves into the phenomena that will birth the next, and presents the case for the future supercontinent of Amasia, defined by the merging of North America and Asia. Introducing listeners to plate tectonic theory through fieldwork adventures and accessible scientific descriptions, Mitchell considers flows deep in the Earth's mantle to explain Amasia's future formation and shows how this developing theory can illuminate other planetary mysteries. He then poses the inevitable question: how can humanity survive the intervening 200 million years necessary to see Amasia?
An expert on the supercontinent cycle, Mitchell offers listeners a front-row seat to a slow-motion mystery and an ongoing scientific debate.

Free Download The New Rules of Influence: How to Authentically Build Trust, Drive Change, and Make an Impact (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0DDQL6R71 | 2024 | 6 hours and 15 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 336 MB
Author: Lida Citroën
Narrator: Raquel Beattie
Leave the power tie at home. The old rules of influence don't work anymore. It's time to throw out the old rules of influence and become the leader you've always wanted to be. A new type of leader is emerging-one with a bold mission who empowers others through transparency and unwavering passion. Modern-day executive presence mandates levels of authenticity and honesty never before seen in the C-suite. Personal branding and reputation management expert, Lida Citroën guides leaders through this new paradigm of executive presence and influence. Through inspiring examples, compelling stories, and practical exercises, Citron helps leaders tap into their passion, connect authentically with others, and create space for inclusivity and community. Greta Thunberg is a powerful example of a new paradigm leader. The Swedish teenager's influence arguably exceeds that of most CEOs or political leaders. The youngest person to be named Time's Person of the Year, she radically upended Swedish politics and world climate policy. Nothing about her conforms to the typical expectations of a leader's executive presence-her power comes from her honesty and genuine passion to make the world a better place.

Free Download The New Masculinity: A Roadmap for a 21st-Century Definition of Manhood (Audiobook)
English | July 25, 2023 | ASIN: B0CBW1JQ15 | M4B@64 kbps | 7h 52m | 209 MB
Author: Alex Manley | Narrator: Tom Max
From AskMen senior editor and non-binary writer Alex Manley comes The New Masculinity: A Roadmap for a 21st-Century Definition of Manhood, a guide for escaping the shackles of toxic masculinity, unlearning what it means to be a man, and pushing back against the various ways masculinity teaches people to hurt rather than help, and to harm rather than heal. Manley charts a course for a wholly new future of the self that's neither particularly manly nor particularly masculine, but responsive, invested, and caring.
Having written and edited for a men's website for seven and a half years, Manley has seen up close how angry, scared, and lonely men are, and how entrenched in a culture war they feel. This book is a guide for unlearning the habits that perpetuate that harm. There are an infinite number of ways to be a person, but to access them fully, men first need to unlearn the restrictions of modern gender roles and the ways society has taught them to shave parts of themselves off until their masculinity comes before their humanity.
