Örvény - Atlantisz I.
Voltaképpen az életem a feje tetejére állt...
Mindez egy átlagosnak tervezett nyaralás során történt. Mondanom sem kell, nem számítottam arra, hogy egy mítikus lény - egy sellő! - ejt rabul, miközben nyugisan lubickolok a Balaton vizében.
És ha ez önmagában még nem elég hajmeresztő, nem egy átlagos habfiú szemelt ki magának, hanem egyenesen egy herceg!
Noha minden porcikám tudja, hogy nem helyes vonzódnom hozzá, mégsem tudok megálljt parancsolni az érzéseimnek - amit természetesen hülye lennék bevallani bárkinek is...
Egyetlen dolgot kell szem előtt tartanom: kiutat találni ebből az átkozott tündérmeséből.

Success by Recommendation
What this book can do for you: You support certified climate protection projects, get fast compact information and checklists from experts (overview and press reviews in the book preview) as well as in practice tested advice, which leads step by step to success - also thanks to add-on.
Because the standard way to a new job, the job advertisement, has long since become obsolete: Especially with odd CVs, applicants often don't even make it to the job interview because their applications are sorted out immediately by the great mass of competitors. What remains are the right application methods, which often work through informal channels: Namely, job search by recommendation through contacts, also known as personal branding. To do this, applicants fall back on an existing network or look for helpful contacts - e.g. through social media, videos and blog. Many companies also offer bonuses to their employees if they recommend suitable applicants who fit exactly into the team. So how do you manage to address these door openers? How does it work to control your own image with reputation management? And how can you stand out positively with recommendations, present yourself excellently and thus convince both personnel and employers? This provides answers to the most important questions.
We give you the best possible help on the topics of career, finance, management, personnel work and life assistance. For this purpose, we gather in each book the best experts in their field as authors - detailed biographies in the book - , who give a comprehensive overview of the topic and additionally offer you success planner workbooks in printed form.

Because earning money virtually on the side without having to do much for it is the old dream of many people. But what at first sight sounds like a beautiful illusion, can become quite true. Passive income is the magic word, after all only those who let their money work for them can become real. But unfortunately, very few people are really familiar with the subject of investing money and there are as many opinions about the right financial planning as there are experts. So if you want to earn money on the side, you would do well not to lose track in the jungle of financial products between stock trading with single stocks, ETF and index funds, gold, real estate, etc. Therefore, it makes sense to take a closer look at one's own asset planning, after all, savings and thus the retirement provisions that are important for retirement are only destroyed by inflation.

Korn - The Nothing CD
KDO: Metalisté z kalifornského Bakersfieldu patří k nejváženějším a zároveň nejpopulárnějším kapelám tvrdého rocku. Často jsou označováni za průkopníky nu-metalu, tedy stylu, jenž kombinuje metal s prvky jiných hudebních stylů, např. hip hopem, elektronikou, grunge, ale i folkem. Korn vznikli v roce 1993, o rok později už debutovali eponymní deskou. Masové popularity skupina dosáhla koncem devadesátých let, kdy natočila alba Follow The Leader (1998) a Issues (1999). Obě nahrávky dobyly vrchol albového žebříčku v Americe. Úspěšné tažení Korn pokračovalo i napříč další dekádou, která nabídla desky Untouchables (2002), Take A Look In The Mirror (2003) a See You On The Other Side (2005). Korn prodali více než 35 milionů desek a získali řadu ocenění.
CO: The Nothing je již třináctou studiovkou nu-metolových protagonistů. Podobně jako předchozí nahrávku The Serenity Of Suffering ji produkoval Nick Raskulinecz. K dispozici je na CD nebo bílém vinylu.

Davis Miles - Rubberband CD
KDO: Miles Davis byl americký jazzový trumpetista, skladatel a vedoucí několika jazzových uskupení. Patří k nejvýraznějším osobnostem hudby 20. století. Ve čtyřicátých letech 20. století byl jedním ze zakladatelů cool jazzu, v padesátých letech pak hard bopu a na konci šedesátých let stál u kořenů jazz-rocku. Zlomová pro tento žánr je deska Bitches Brew z roku 1970. Díky svému umění hrát téměř každý tón jakoby náhodou a mimochodem bývá někdy označován přezdívkou "geniální kiksař". Díky tomu, že během své jazzové dráhy vystřídal (a zásadně ovlivnil nebo spoluzaložil) několik jazzových proudů, bývá někdy označován jako "jazzový chameleon" nebo také "princ temnot". V roce 2006 byl uveden do Rock'n'rollové síně slávy.
CO: Ztracené a nyní nalezené album, které Miles Davis začal natáčet v roce 1985 coby první album pro Warner Bros, nyní poprvé vychází v celé svojí kráse. Hosty na albu jsou také vokalisté Lalah Hathaway a Ledisi.

Mani
“First it felt horrifying, as if I was floating, not going somewhere, not moving in some direction, but simply at rest without any support. I looked around, but couldn’t see, I couldn’t even sense my body. I am no body; I realized that I didn’t have a body. I have no sight, no sounds and no senses at all. I am just a point. Neither I am standing nor lying, simply a point existence.” “When you think, see the way of the thoughts and when you look, look at the looking. Jumping from a height, watch your legs and hanging from an edge go to your hands.” Fixing his pupils at the top most edge of his eyes and raising his head towards the clouds the bhikhshu uttered distinctly. *To relive the thrill read "Mani"
About the Author: Rajiv K Rout is basically a writer com entrepreneur. He started his career as an engineer. Later to explore the other unknown dimensions he quit the job and started following spiritual path. For masters like OSHO, Jiddu Krishnamurti and Swami Vivekananda he plunged into the innermost depths of existence including humanity.

John Anthony White (narodený 9. júla 1975) je americký hudobník, ktorý pôsobil ako hlavný spevák, gitarista a hlavný skladateľ rockového dua White Stripes.

Vyhral 12 cien Grammy a tri z jeho sólových albumov sa dostali na prvé miesto v rebríčku Billboard 200. Rolling Stone ho zaradil na 32. miesto v zozname najlepších gitaristov všetkých čias v roku 2023.

Ich prelomový album z roku 2001 White Blood Cells im priniesol medzinárodnú slávu vďaka singlu a sprievodnému videoklipu k skladbe "Fell in Love with a Girl". White následne začal spolupracovať s umelcami ako Loretta Lynn a Bob Dylan. V roku 2005 White založil skupinu Raconteurs s Brendanom Bensonom a v roku 2009 založil Dead Weather s Alison Mosshart of the Kills. V roku 2008 nahral po boku Alicie Keys „Another Way to Die“, titulnú pieseň k filmu Quantum of Solace o Jamesovi Bondovi z roku 2008, čím sa stal jediným duetom, ktorý stvárnil bondovskú tému.

The Montessori Baby
Now it's baby's turn! Filled with the values, advice, and aesthetic that have made The Montessori Toddler a parenting bestseller, with over 200,000 copies in print, The Montessori Baby is here to help new parents find the support and peace they crave.
Cowritten by Montessori Toddler author Simone Davies and fellow Montessori educator Junnifa Uzodike, The Montessori Baby draws on the child-led principles of the Montessori educational method to foster a first year defined by love, respect, understanding, and a surprising sense of calm. Maria Montessori observed that all children have what she called "an absorbent mind," ready to drink it all in, and that the role of parents is to mindfully assist in their learning and development. With babies, that means less is more - a lot less stuff, for sure, but also less speed; slow way down, and avoid rushing through feeding, diaper changes, and the like. It means establishing a "yes" space - where baby can safely explore absolutely everything, whether with hands or mouth. It means setting up activities to help promote baby's movement and language development, but then to step back - the parent's role is to prepare the environment, not be the entertainer. There are tips on how to set clear and kind boundaries, how to create a secure sense of attachment, how best to speak to baby, and even what kind of toys to use (mobiles especially) - all through the Montessori lens.
And like its predecessor, The Montessori Baby is that rare parenting book that's a pleasure to look at - beautiful colour illustrations and a bright airy design reinforce the book's direct and jargon-free approach. It may also inspire parents to look at their own homes in a different way and use the Montessori aesthetic to create an environment of uncluttered calm. The whole family will benefit.
