13 Things That Don't Make Sense
The Most Intriguing Scientific Mysteries of Our Time
Science starts to get interesting when things don't make sense. Even today there are experimental results that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In the past, similar anomalies have revolutionised our world: in the sixteenth century, a set of celestial irregularities led Copernicus to realise that the Earth goes around the sun and not the reverse. In 13 Things That Don't Make Sense Michael Brooks meets thirteen modern-day anomalies that may become tomorrow's breakthroughs. Is ninety six percent of the universe missing? If no study has ever been able to definitively show that the placebo effect works, why has it become a pillar of medical science? Was the 1977 signal from outer space a transmission from an alien civilization? Spanning fields from chemistry to cosmology, psychology to physics, Michael Brooks thrillingly captures the excitement and controversy of the scientific unknown.

Lavigne Avril - The Best Damn Thing (Expanded Edition) 2LP
Avril Ramona Lavigne (narodená 27. septembra 1984) je kanadská speváčka a skladateľka. Je považovaná za kľúčovú hudobníčku vo vývoji pop-punkovej hudby, keďže začiatkom 2000-tych rokov vydláždila cestu ženskej a punkom ovplyvnenej pop music. Medzi jej ocenenia patrí okrem iného osem nominácií na cenu Grammy. Vo veku 16 rokov podpísala Lavigne zmluvu na nahrávanie dvoch albumov s Arista Records. Jej debutový štúdiový album Let Go (2002) je najpredávanejším albumom 21. storočia od kanadskej umelkyne. To prinieslo úspešné single "Complicated" a "Sk8er Boi", ktoré zdôraznili osobnosť skate punku a vyslúžili jej titul "Pop-Punk Queen" z hudobných publikácií. Jej druhý štúdiový album Under My Skin (2004) sa stal prvým albumom Lavigne, ktorý sa dostal na vrchol rebríčka Billboard 200 v Spojených štátoch a celosvetovo sa z neho predalo 10 miliónov kópií.
"The Best Damn Thing" je tretí štúdiový album vydaný v Európe 13. apríla 2007, potom celosvetovo 17. apríla 2007 vo vydavateľstve RCA Records. ako jej druhý štúdiový album na labeli. Album predstavuje hudobný odklon od jej predchádzajúceho štúdiového albumu Under My Skin (2004), ktorý obsahoval viac prvkov post-grunge. The Best Damn Thing je kritikmi vnímaný ako najkomerčnejšie dielo Lavigne. Album bol zaznamenaný ako jej prvá snaha o účasť širokej škály producentov, vrátane Matta Beckleyho, Roba Cavalla, Dr. Lukea a samotnej Lavigne, ktorá bola pripísaná ako výkonná producentka.

B. J. Harrison Reads The Thing in the Weeds (EN)
"The Thing in the Weeds" is a short story by William Hope Hodgson from his "Sargasso Sea Stories" in which he portrays a monster lurking in the darkest recesses of the unfathomable depths of the sea. An example of Lovecraft’s major principle of "fear of the unknown", the terror in this Hodgson story is a mysterious one, despite the fact that it haunts and kills the characters.

The School That Escaped the Nazis
In 1933, as Hitler came to power, schoolteacher Anna Essinger hatched a daring and courageous plan: to smuggle her entire school out of Nazi Germany. Anna had read Mein Kampf and knew the terrible danger that Hitler's hate-fuelled ideologies posed to her pupils. She knew that to protect them she had to get her pupils to the safety of England.
But the safe haven that Anna struggled to create in a rundown manor house in Kent would test her to the limit. As the news from Europe continued to darken, Anna rescued successive waves of fleeing children and, when war broke out, she and her pupils faced a second exodus. One by one countries fell to the Nazis and before long unspeakable rumours began to circulate. Red Cross messages stopped and parents in occupied Europe vanished. In time, Anna would take in orphans who had given up all hope; the survivors of unimaginable horrors. Anna's school offered these scarred children the love and security they needed to rebuild their lives, showing them that, despite everything, there was still a world worth fighting for.
Featuring moving first-hand testimony, and drawn from letters, diaries and present-day interviews, The School That Escaped the Nazis is a dramatic human tale that offers a unique child's-eye perspective on Nazi persecution and the Holocaust. It is also the story of one woman's refusal to allow her beliefs in a better, more equitable world to be overtaken by the evil that surrounded her.

A diploma megszerzése óta azonban nem találja a helyét. Azon őrlődik, hogy üzleti végzettségével kezdjen-e valamit, vagy a zenében mélyedjen el, amit szenvedélyesen szeret.
Amikor édesapja váratlanul meghal, úgy határoz, hogy amíg ki nem találja, mihez kezdjen a saját életével, addig az apjáét folytatja. Ann Arbort New York Cityre cseréli, és átveszi apja blueskávézójának vezetését. A népszerű találkozóhely törzsközönségét fel nem fedezett helyi zenészek, művészek alkotják. Mia eddig távol tartotta magát az izgalmas és kiszámíthatatlan művészléttől, de a váratlan találkozás Will-lel, azh édes, helyes, elragadó gitárossal, bepillantást enged neki ebbe a világba.
Amikor a srác a barátja, majd a lakótársa lesz, Mia minden tőle telhetőt elkövet, hogy elnyomja a lelkében dúló szenvedélyt, amit iránta és a zene iránt érez, de apja öröksége lassanként megnyitja a szívét.
