In February 1971, racial tension surrounding school desegregation in Wilmington, North Carolina, culminated in four days of violence and skirmishes between white vigilantes and black residents. The turmoil resulted in two deaths, six injuries, more than $500,000 in damage, and the firebombing of a white-owned store before the National Guard restored uneasy peace. Despite glaring irregularities in the subsequent trial, 10 young persons were convicted of arson and conspiracy and then sentenced to a total of 282 years in prison.

English | ASIN: B0BYG3V6TR | 2023 | 11 hours and 51 minutes | M4B@64 kbps | 356 MB
Author: Noel Barber
Narrator: Roger Davis
Only three short years after the end of the Japanese occupation, war came again to Malaya. The Chinese-backed guerrillas called it the War of the Running Dogs-their contemptuous term for those in Malaya who remained loyal to the British. The British Government referred to this bloody and costly struggle as the 'Malayan Emergency'. Yet it was a war that lasted twelve years and cost thousands of lives. By the time it was over Malaya had obtained its independence-but on British, not on Chinese or Communist terms. Here is the war as it was. Here are the planters and their wives on their remote rubber estates, the policemen, the generals and the soldiers, the Malays, Chinese and Indians of a polyglot country, all fighting an astute, ruthless, and well-organized enemy.

Free Download The Wandering Mind: What Medieval Monks Tell Us About Distraction (Audiobook)
English | ASIN: B0BZFFC6PP | 2023 | 5 hours and 31 minutes | M4B@128 kbps | 299 MB
Author: Jamie Kreiner
Narrator: Jamie Kreiner
The digital era is beset by distraction, and it feels like things are only getting worse. At times like these, the distant past beckons as a golden age of attention. We dream of recapturing the quiet of a world with less noise. We imagine retreating into solitude and singlemindedness, almost like latter-day monks. But although we think of early monks as master concentrators, a life of mindfulness did not, in fact, come to them easily. As historian Jamie Kreiner demonstrates in The Wandering Mind, their attempts to stretch the mind out to God-to continuously contemplate the divine order and its ethical requirements-were all-consuming, and their battles against distraction were never-ending.

Author: Donald A. Ritchie
Narrator: Sean Runnette
Donald A. Ritchie, a congressional historian for forty years, takes listeners on a fascinating, behind-the-scenes tour of Capitol Hill, pointing out the key players, explaining their behavior, and translating parliamentary language into plain English. He also explores the essential necessity of compromise to accomplish anything significant in the legislative arena. However, recent events show that political polarization has hardened and produced gridlock. The 2020 election also produced a more diverse membership in terms of gender, ethnicity, religion, and ideology, with primary elections resulting in the defeat of moderate candidates, making bipartisan compromise harder to achieve.

Free Download The One of Power by Instafo, Frederick Boyd
English | MP3@192 kbps | 30 min | 42.4 MB
One Power for All, All for One Team...the Power of TeamworkThe power of teamwork is not one to be sneezed at. Especially in today work's environment, you will need to work well and get along with others in order to strive for a common goal.Yet, there are those who still prefer to be the lone wolf of the pack...and that person may even be you or somebody you work with.After all, why work in a team when you can work by yourself and have full free reign and control to do whatever you want 100% to your liking without others' interference?* Firstly, it's not always about you...in fact, it should never be about one's personal self-interests.* Secondly, one as a TEAM can accomplish more than one as an INDIVIDUAL. That much is obvious that you'll get more done in less time.Then why aren't more people team players?There are common problems that can arise from working on any team, thus making certain folks loathe it or avoid it due to multiple huge egos, clashing personalities, disagreeable approaches, different thinking styles, or simply one's natural introversion...all of which are understandable.As much we would like to take pride in our self-sufficient independence, we are still humans and can't do everything by ourselves. We all need a helping hand once in a while, so utilize your strengths and delegate your weaknesses. This particularly rings true for any leadership or team management role requiring handling and pulling a group of people together as one.Then how do you get people who have strengths in different areas to eagerly collaborate with everybody else as a unified team to achieve success? This type of leadership power for effective teamwork can be found in "The One of Power."The "one of power" is indeed your "one team" that when united can bring about unlimited power to work miracles. Above all else, the feeling of universal camaraderie from working together will make it all that much more rewarding. Have your dream team now!
