Backstory - Gregg Avani
In this funny, vulnerable, and all-too-real memoir, award-winning content creator and actress Avani Gregg takes you behind the scenes of her incredible life, sharing how a girl from small-town Indiana went on to become TikToker of the Year.With more than 55 million followers on social media; invitations to glamorous events around the world; awards, magazine covers, and even her own makeup line - Avani Gregg never imagined this wild ride for herself. After all, she was just from a small town, spending her time hanging with friends and family and combing thrift-store racks for finds. It only took one video - her famous 'Clown Girl Check' - and she suddenly found herself vibing as one of the original Hype House creators. 'People think I exploded overnight,' the eighteen-year-old TikTok sensation says. 'But they don't know the half of it. They don't know what came before or after. They don't know my Backstory.'In this eye-opening memoir, Avani shares the ups and down of her remarkable life, including the devastating back injury that forced her to retire from gymnastics and abandon her dreams of Olympic gold. In the aftermath, struggling to make sense of it all, she found her calling: creating jaw-droppingly dramatic make-up looks on social media that leave her 'Bebs' begging for more. Diving deep into topics like mental health, relationships, bullying and more, Avani shares her private sketchbook and most intimate thoughts: 'There's a lot we all think and feel but are afraid to say out loud. Well, I'm saying it...and it's gonna get deep.'This is the unfiltered, revealing and deeply inspiring Backstory of someone with big dreams and how she worked to achieve them. And Avani is not holding back.

The Wisdom Codes - Gregg Braden
Beloved teacher and thought leader Gregg Braden explains how word-specific patterns used by ancient civilisations can help us rewire our brains for resilience and healing.Long before the advent of neuroscience, our ancestors understood intuitively that the words we speak and think can cause deep inner transformation: they created specific word patterns to provide healing, strength and inner power in difficult times, and encoded these in prayers and sacred writings.In this book, Gregg Braden shares Wisdom Codes for the full range of life experiences, including:- healing from loss- giving and receiving love- addressing anger, anxiety and addiction- finding forgivenessEach Wisdom Code - distilled from a quote, a scripture passage or a parable - is accompanied by a brief discussion of what the code means, why it's important and how to apply it in your life.

The Amish Wife - Gregg Olsen
The #1 New York Times and Amazon Charts bestselling author Gregg Olsen solves a murder among the Amish and reveals the conspiracy to keep it a secret in a heartbreaking and horrifying true-crime story.In 1977, in an Ohio Amish community, pregnant wife and mother Ida Stutzman perished during a barn fire. The coroner’s report: natural causes. Ida’s husband, Eli, was never considered a suspect. But when he eventually rejected the faith and took his son, Danny, with him, murder followed.What really happened to Ida? The dubious circumstances of the tragic blaze were willfully ignored and Eli’s shifting narratives disregarded. Could Eli’s subsequent cross-country journey of death—including that of his own son—have been prevented if just one person came forward with what they knew about the real Eli Stutzman?The questions haunted Gregg Olsen and Ida’s brother Daniel Gingerich for decades. At Daniel’s urging, Olsen now returns to Amish Country and to Eli’s crimes first exposed in Olsen’s Abandoned Prayers, one of which has remained a mystery until now. With the help of aging witnesses and shocking long-buried letters, Olsen finally uncovers the disturbing truth—about Ida’s murder and the conspiracy of silence and secrets that kept it hidden for forty-five years.

Co je člověk - Gregg Braden
"Mezinárodně uznávaný autor, známý jako průkopník propojování vědy, spirituality a lidského potenciálu, se v tomto díle zabývá otázkou, kdo vlastně jsme my - lidé. Účelem knihy je odhalit nové objevy o našem původu a ukázat, jak tyto objevy aplikovat na svůj každodenní život. Důkazy naznačují, že jsme výsledkem záměrného aktu stvoření, produktem inteligentní formy života. To vede k zásadní změně způsobu, jak vnímáme sami sebe a naše místo ve vesmíru. Osvobodíme se od představy osamocené bezvýznamnosti a pochopíme, jaké máme vzácné dědictví, jež právě začínáme objevovat. Jsme tady, v tělech, jež mají nervový systém, který nám poskytuje schopnosti jako soucit, empatii, intuici, samoléčení a mnohem víc. Nový příběh lidstva začíná u našeho počátku. Začíná skutečností, že od doby našeho vzniku jsme vybaveni mimořádnými schopnostmi. Jak tyto schopnosti probudíme, jak se je naučíme ovládat a využívat? Gregg Braden vás vezme na výzkumnou cestu, kde se budete společně snažit najít odpověď na tuto otázku a zjistit, co to znamená být člověkem podle plánu. Co je člověk není náboženská kniha - není určena k podpoře jakékoli konkrétní náboženské víry, jež se týká stvoření nebo lidského původu, jako je kreacionismus. Je založena na odborně ověřených vědeckých důkazech (antropologických, paleontologických, biologických a genetických), přesto to ale není ani vědecká kniha. Nová historie sepsaná zde se může jevit v rozporu s tradičními příběhy předkládanými náboženskou naukou stejně jako s konvenčními vědními disciplínami. Tato kniha je souborem výsledků výzkumu a dokumentů. Autor ji napsal čtivým způsobem, aby podpořil pozitivní způsob, jakým my lidé sami sebe vidíme ve světě. Jeho text je příkladem toho, čeho můžeme dosáhnout, překročíme-li tradiční hranice mezi vědou a spiritualitou. Spojením nejmodernějších objevů biologie, genetiky a přírodních věd s prastarou moudrostí získáme pevný rámec pro pochopení, co je v našem životě možné. Gregg Braden psal s jediným záměrem: umožnit nám volbu, která povede k úspěšnému životu v transformovaném světě. Text průběžně zahrnuje mentální cvičení, která pomohou upevnit význam zde uvedených konkrétních objevů ve vašem vlastním životě."

Alchemy of Nine Dimensions - Barbara Hand Clowová
A guide to connecting with the nine dimensions of consciousness• Examines how each dimension influences Earth, its levels of creative expression, and the sciences that describe each one• Provides meditations to open you to the experience of each dimension and all nine dimensions as an integrated whole• Includes new evidence for the nine dimensions from the supercomputer Blue Brain Project and recently discovered ancient technologyAs revealed by the Pleiadians via renowned author Barbara Hand Clow, Earth holds nine dimensions of consciousness that humans can currently access. Long ago, the ability to access all nine dimensions was natural for humans. As we collectively heal from ancestral trauma and enter the Age of Light, our access to the nine dimensions is reopening and our ability to learn from and consciously utilize these higher intelligences in our lives is being restored.In this illuminating guide, Barbara Hand Clow shows how the nine dimensions of consciousness are now being verified by contemporary science. She explains how the first dimension is the center of the Earth and the source of grounding ourselves, the second is between Earth’s center and the surface, the third is linear space and time experienced on Earth’s crust, the fourth is the realm of our collective mind, and the higher five celestial dimensions are where we contact the transcendent. She examines how each dimension influences Earth, the sciences that operate there, and the levels of creative expression available. Additionally, Gerry Clow has provided both written and audio meditations to open you to the experience of each dimension and all nine dimensions as an integrated whole.In this 20th anniversary edition, Clow includes updates from her continuing research, including evidence from the supercomputer Blue Brain Project, which mapped nine dimensions in the human brain. She also describes how recent discoveries of ancient technology mirror the Pleiadian dimensional system. Providing a journey through the complex ideas of both modern science and esoteric wisdom, this guide allows you to awaken to the full spectrum of multidimensional consciousness and to connect deeply to the center of our planet and the Divine Cosmos that surrounds us all.

Bennett activates the one man who has the skills and experience to track down and take out Orphan X-the first recruit of the Program, Orphan A. With Evan devoting all his skills, resources, and intelligence to find a way through the layers of security that surround the President, suddenly he also has to protect himself against the deadliest of opponents.

Ninja Assassin (BLU-RAY)
Blu-ray film Ninja Assassin HD [2009]. Český dabing. České titulky. Dolby Digital. Vycvičený nindža Raizo se obrací proti svému klanu a s agentkou Europolu odhaluje temné tajemství nájemných vrahů. Filmoví tvůrci Matrixu a V jako Vendetta přinášejí v Ninja Assassin další krev (hodně krve!) do žánru filmů o bojových uměních. Korejská popová hvězda Rain hraje hrdinského, smrtelně nebezpečného Raiza, vychovávaného od dětství po způsobu mýtického klanu Ozunu. Teď ale bývalí spolubojovníci Raiza pronásledují, protože se odvrátil od nich i jejich autoritativního patriarchy (legenda bojových umění Sho Kosugi) a je na útěku s agentkou Europolu (Naomie Harris), která má důkaz, že klan prodává své zabijácké služby vládám různých zemí.Bonusy: • Mýtus a legenda ninjů - Příběh ninjů: Mýtus, tradice, trénink, boj • Ninja: Extrémní sport - Elitní skupina bojovníků a gymnastů rozjíždí krvavou akci • Trénink: Transformace zpěváka, tanečníka a herce v mocného ninju • Plus vynechané scény

Želvy Ninja 1+2 - kolekce (2D + 3D) (3 BLU-RAY)
Kolekce obsahuje: Želvy ninja 1 (2D+3D), Želvy ninja 2 (3D). Želvy Ninja (2014) (BLU-RAY) Nosí jména slavných italských renesančních umělců, ovládají zbraně japonských ninjů a zbožňují pizzu. Želvy Ninja jsou obrovským fenoménem, který se zrodil přesně před třiceti lety jako černobílý komiks. Producent těžkotonážních akčních velkofilmů Michael Bay se rozhodl, že právě teď nastal čas, aby tihle specifičtí bojovníci se zlem opustili stránky časopisů a televizní seriál a konečně s plnou parádou vpadli na filmové plátno. Podobně urputně Bay kdysi prosazoval první Transformers, s nimiž vstoupil do elitního klubu nejúspěšnějších filmových ság současnosti. A historie se může opakovat. Město New York zoufale potřebuje hrdiny. Ovládá ho totiž strach a všehoschopný Trhač, jehož pozice vládce podsvětí je zcela neotřesitelná, dokud se v městské kanalizaci vinou nepodařeného genetického experimentu neobjeví čtyři bojovníci v krunýři a s mimořádnými schopnostmi. Tam, kde jsou Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo a Raphael, nesmí pochopitelně chybět ani zvědavá reportérka April (Megan Fox). Společně odhalí Trhačovy děsivé plány na rozšíření jeho impéria a rozhodnou se je vlastními výrazně vylepšenými silami překazit.

Kvůli jeho realizaci se spojí se šíleným vědcem Baxterem Stockmanem, který vyvinul speciální mutagen schopný přeměnit člověka na zvíře. Prvními dvěma pokusnými králíky se stanou rabiáti Bebop a Rocksteady, dříve dva oškliví chlapi, teď ohavný kanec a nosorožec. Oba se samozřejmě okamžitě pustí po stopě želvích bratří, ačkoliv ti jim jdou naproti, protože: „Když může ta látka proměnit lidi ve zvířata, proč by nemohla zvířata proměnit v lidi?" Tahle otázka některé členy želvího společenstva poměrně silně vzrušuje. Brzy ale budou mít úplně jiné starosti, protože do zástupu výše uvedených nepřátel se záhy přidá zástupce velmi naštvané mimozemské civilizace, který si říká Krang. Navzdory svému legračnímu vzezření je to ukrutný prevít, takže zelení bratři budou nakonec rádi, když v boji proti zlu po jejich boku stanou osvědčená reportérka April O´Neillová a mladý rebel Casey Jones, který to s hokejkou a pukem umí jako Jarda Jágr s tím rozdílem, že Casey se netrefuje do branky, ale do lidí.

Delta of Venus - Anais Nin
As influential and revelatory in its day as Fifty Shades of Grey is now, Anaïs Nin''s Delta of Venus is a groundbreaking anthology of erotic short stories, published in Penguin Modern ClassicsIn Delta of Venus Anaïs Nin conjures up a glittering cascade of sexual encounters. Creating her own ''language of the senses'', she explores an area that was previously the domain of male writers and brings to it her own unique perceptions. Her vibrant and impassioned prose evokes the essence of female sexuality in a world where only love has meaning.This edition includes a preface adapted from Anaïs Nin''s diary that establishes a context for the work''s gestation, and a postscript to her diary entries in which she explains her desire to use ''women''s language, seeing sexual experience from a woman''s point of view''.Anaïs Nin (1903-1977), born in Paris, was the daughter of a Franco-Danish singer and a Cuban pianist. Her first book - a defence of D. H. Lawrence - was published in the 1930s. Her prose poem, House of Incest (1936) was followed by the collection of three novellas, collected as Winter of Artifice (1939). In the 1940s she began to write erotica for an anonymous client, and these pieces are collected in Delta of Venus and Little Birds (both published posthumously). During her later years Anaïs Nin lectured frequently at universities throughout the USA, in 1974 and was elected to the United States National Institute of Arts and Letters.If you enjoyed Delta of Venus, you might like Stephen Vizinczey''s In Praise of Older Women, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''Anaïs Nin excites male readers and incites female readers ... and she comes against life with a vital artistry and boldness''The New York Times Book Review

Raising Girls in the 21st Century - Steve Biddulph
Steve Biddulph’s Raising Boys was a global phenomenon. The first book in a generation to look at boys’ specific needs, parents loved its clarity and warm insights into their sons’ inner world. But today, things have changed. It’s girls that are in trouble.There has been a sudden and universal deterioration in girls’ mental health, starting in primary school and devastating the teen years.Raising Girls in the 21st Century is both a guidebook and a call-to-arms for parents. The five key stages of girlhood are laid out so that you know exactly what matters at which age, and how to build strength and connectedness into your daughter from infancy onwards.Raising Girls in the 21st Century is both fierce and tender in its mission to help girls more at every age. It’s a book for parents who love their daughters deeply, whether they are newborns, teenagers, young women – or anywhere in between.Feeling secure, becoming an explorer, getting along with others, finding her soul, and becoming a woman – at last, there is a clear map of girls’ minds that accepts no limitations, narrow roles or selling-out of your daughter’s potential or uniqueness.All the hazards are signposted – bullying, eating disorders, body image and depression, social media harms and helps – as are concrete and simple measures for both mums and dads to help prevent their daughters from becoming victims. Parenthood is restored to an exciting journey, not one worry after another, as it’s so often portrayed.Steve talks to the world’s leading voices on girls’ needs and makes their ideas clear and simple, adding his own humour and experience through stories that you will never forget. Even the illustrations, by Kimio Kubo, provide unique and moving glimpses into the inner lives of girls.Along with his fellow psychologists worldwide, Steve is angry at the exploitation and harm being done to girls today. With Raising Girls in the 21st Century he strives to spark a movement to end the trashing of girlhood; equipping parents to deal with the modern world, and getting the media off the backs of our daughters.Raising Girls in the 21st Century is powerful, practical and positive. Your heart, head and hands will be strengthened by its message.

Little Birds - Anais Nin
Anaïs Nin''s Little Birds is published in Penguin Modern Classics.Anaïs Nin''s second volume of erotic short stories after Delta of Venus, Little Birds is broader in scope, encompassing the entire breadth of human sensuality. Each of the 13 stories captures a moment of pure desire, in all its complexity and paradoxical simplicity.Anaïs Nin (1903-77), born in Paris, was the daughter of a Franco-Danish singer and a Cuban pianist. Her first book - a defence of D. H. Lawrence - was published in the 1930s. Her prose poem, House of Incest (1936) was followed by the collection of three novellas, collected as Winter of Artifice (1939). In the 1940s she began to write erotica for an anonymous client, and these pieces are collected in Delta of Venus and Little Birds (both published posthumously). During her later years Anaïs Nin lectured frequently at universities throughout the USA, in 1974 and was elected to the United States National Institute of Arts and Letters.If you enjoyed Little Birds, you might like Nin''s Delta of Venus, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.''One of the most extraordinary and unconventional writers of this century''The New York Times Book Review
