Most people would describe Katherine Berger as a responsible girl with a big heart, a loyal friend who takes care of those close to her, and the possessor of a wicked sense of humour. There was something about her that most people didn't know. 'My name is Kat Berger, and I love porn.' When twenty-five-year-old Kat is dragged to a porn convention by her best friend, she's both embarrassed and nervous. The last thing she ever expected was to meet someone who makes her laugh like no other. This is a story about acceptance and friendship, and a love born out of the most unexpected of places. .........................................

Kareklaas revolutsioonilise paigaldusmeetodiga – kui see on varem kareklaasi kasutades muret valmistanud, siis nüüd on see probleem lahendatud! Kareklaas on kinnitatud raamiga, mis on täpselt lõigatud seadme esiküljele, võimaldades selle täiuslikult ekraanile paigutada. Tootja on paigalduse nii lihtsaks teinud, et see on iga kasutaja jaoks täielikult intuitiivne. Glas.TR EZ Fit on 0,58 mm paksune kate, mis on tootmis- ja karastamisprotsessis kõvendatud 9H kõvaduseni. See muudab klaasi kriimustuskindlaks isegi teravate esemete, nagu võtmete või nugade vastu. Klaas on kaetud oleofoobse ja hüdrofoobse kihiga, mis takistab sõrmejälgede ja muude saasteainete tekkimist ekraanil. Klaas on kristallselge ja taastab täiuslikult kuvatavad värvid. See ei mõjuta puutetundlikkust ning on erakordselt sile, muutes sõrme liikumise ekraanil meeldivaks. Klaas on spetsiaalselt mõeldud ekraani kaitsmiseks kriimustuste eest ning vähendab ekraani kahjustumise riski ootamatute kukkumiste korral.
The first full biography in decades, King mixes revelatory and exhaustive new research with brisk and accessible storytelling to forge the definitive life for our times. Vividly written and exhaustively researched, Jonathan Eig's King: A Life is the first major biography in decades of the civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.-and the first to include recently declassified FBI files. In this revelatory new portrait of the preacher and activist who shook the world, the bestselling biographer gives us an intimate view of the courageous and often emotionally troubled human being who demanded peaceful protest for his movement but was rarely at peace with himself. He casts fresh light on the King family's origins as well as MLK's complex relationships with his wife, father, and fellow activists. King reveals a minister wrestling with his own human frailties and dark moods, a citizen hunted by his own government, and a man determined to fight for justice even if it proved to be a fight to the death. As he follows MLK from the classroom to the pulpit to the streets of Birmingham, Selma, and Memphis, Eig dramatically re-creates the journey of a man who recast American race relations and became our only modern-day founding father-as well as the nation's most mourned martyr.In this landmark biography, Eig gives us an MLK for our times: a deep thinker, a brilliant strategist, a perplexing husband and father, and a committed radical who led one of history's greatest movements, and whose demands for racial and economic justice remain as urgent today as they were in his lifetime.Includes 8 pages of black-and-white photographs
This revolutionary book goes beyond any recent book on language to dissect how language operates in our minds and how to harness its virtually limitless power. As Dr. Marian explains, while you may well think you speak only one language, in fact your mind accommodates multiple codes of communication. Some people speak Spanish, some Mandarin. Some speak poetry, some are fluent in math. The human brain is built to use multiple languages, and using more languages opens doors to creativity, brain health, and cognitive control. Every new language we speak shapes how we extract and interpret information. It alters what we remember, how we perceive ourselves and the world around us, how we feel, the insights we have, the decisions we make, and the actions we take. Language is an invaluable tool for organizing, processing, and structuring information, and thereby unleashing radical advancement. Learning a new language has broad lifetime consequences, and Dr. Marian reviews research showing that it: · Improves executive function our ability to focus on the things that matter and ignore the things that don t. · Results in higher scores on creative-thinking tasks. · Develops critical reasoning skills. · Delays Alzheimer s and other types of dementia by four to six years. · Improves decisions made under emotional duress. · Changes what we see, pay attention to, and recall.
This comprehensive and fascinating title describes and illustrates the armies of Japan's Asian allies in World War II, and includes rare and previously unpublished wartime photographs.During the Japanese occupation of large parts of Asia and the Pacific in 1941--45, Japan raised significant numbers of troops to fight alongside them, as well as militias to guard their conquests. The total number of these soldiers is estimated at no fewer than 600,000 men. These ranged from the regular troops of Manchukuo (200,000 men), Nanking China (250,000), Thailand, and recruits from the "puppet" Burmese Independence Army (30,000) and Indian National Army (40,000), to constabularies and spear-wielding militias in the Philippines (15,000), Borneo, Indonesia, and New Guinea.Many of the recruits from former European colonies hoped for independence as part of the Greater East-Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere proclaimed by Japanese propaganda, but Japan's intentions were entirely cynical. They formed alliances to deny the Allied powers access to territory that they could not actually occupy, and raised these large numbers of auxiliary troops to relieve the manpower burden of occupation, or simply as cannon-fodder.This extensively researched study examines each of these armies and militias in detail, exploring their history and deployment during World War II, and revealing the intricacies of their arms and equipment with stunning full-color artwork and previously unpublished contemporary photographs. This comprehensive and fascinating title describes and illustrates the armies of Japan's Asian allies in World War II, and includes rare and previously unpublished wartime photographs.
