Making It Big in Japan is your ultimate guide to living, working, and playing in Japan. The information you get about Japan from reading articles online in English only scratches the surface. Like an outdated textbook, the advice seems to be stuck in the 1980s without reflecting the real pace of change in Japan. There is a need for more clarity and explanations of information that is often only available in Japanese. To fill this gap, I have interviewed the people who influenced me, served as role models, or offered valuable perspectives along my seven-year journey in Japan.

Daisy bakes a little murder into every pie she creates, and she and her dog, Zoe, deliver them to the town’s worst cads. Now, Daisy’s entered a televised, elimination-style competition and has a shot at $100k in prize money—but she still has a murder pie to deliver between filming. In a completely unexpected turn of events, she discovers that her intended victim is one of the competition judges, and he turns up dead before the pie even arrives. Now, Daisy has to solve the murder before someone calls foul play and exposes her murderous secret.

The benefits of living in a digital, globalised society are enormous; so too are the dangers. The world has become a law enforcer’s nightmare and every criminal’s dream. We bank online, shop online, date, learn, work and live online. But have the institutions that keep us safe on the streets learned to protect us in the burgeoning digital world? Have we become complacent about our personal security – sharing our thoughts, beliefs and the details of our daily lives with anyone who cares to relieve us of them?

An overworked single mom from New York City. A billionaire surfer from Florida. Can the turn of the tide bring these two together?

Unexpectedly becoming an heiress should've made all my problems go away, but instead, I have three new, huge ones: two giant tortoises and a lean, mean two-hundred-pound hockey player named Mason. He's as hot as he is insufferable, and he would've made a fine Viking if he hadn't been born in the wrong century. He wants to buy my hockey team, won't take no for an answer, and is willing to do anything to get his way… no matter how dirty he has to play.

Thanks to my needy pet rat, I’m banned from working at all Florida theme parks. So what’s a person to do? Get a job as a mascot for a local hockey team, of course. I didn’t expect to get pushed into a pool on my first day by the grouchiest, hottest player on the team. Nor could I have imagined that we’d get locked into an evacuated building together and share an angry kiss that would get caught on video. Or that said video would go viral, sending ticket sales for our games through the roof.

His name was Antonio, but they would call him Nem. From the infamous favela of Rocinha in Rio, he was a hardworking young father forced to make a decision that would turn his world upside down. Nemesis is the story of an ordinary man who became the king of the largest slum in Rio, the head of a drug cartel and perhaps Brazil’s most wanted criminal. A man who tried to bring welfare and justice to a playground of gang culture and destitution while everyone around him drew guns and partied.

Bienvenue dans Lyric Hunter le podcast qui analyse les paroles des chansons anglaises mais en français. Moi c’est Misha. Je suis à peu près français et aussi guitariste amateur à mes heures perdues. Dans ma modeste carrière de guitariste dominical j’ai été amené à reprendre beaucoup de grands tubes; sans forcément avoir prêté attention au sens des paroles C’est pour ça que j’ai décidé de faire ce podcast. pour regarder plus en détail les paroles de chansons anglaises mais de les ausculter dans la langue de Molière ou d’Aya Nakamura; c’est selon. Pour me ...

So, my Chihuahua fell in love with a bear. Excuse me, a giant, bear-like dog. Now, the bear’s scorching hot owner is on my case, demanding an STD test...for my pet. Another problem with this doggy love affair? The bear’s mysterious owner may be the key to funding my new venture and taking my toys company to the next level. And by “toys", I mean the fun kind, the kind every woman (and man) needs. If only I could figure out what he’s hiding - or get my libido to behave. Because mixing business and pleasure is a bad idea, and Dragomir Lamian may not be who he seems.

My name is Holly Hyman. I love order and prime numbers - and I’m in trouble. The company I work for is pivoting, and not in a way I like. Our new management? Alex Chortsky, a gorgeous, scruffy Russian devil. Our new direction? VR entertainment of the spicy kind. Maybe I wouldn’t mind it so much if my life’s work wasn’t meant for children. Or if I hadn’t accidentally hooked up with a VR version of my wickedly handsome boss. The only way to save my dream project is to make a Faustian bargain. For one night, I pretend to be Alex Chortsky’s girlfriend.

Als ich zu spät zu einem Vorstellungsgespräch komme und im Aufzug mit einem nervtötend sexy, vom alten Rom besessenen Griesgram feststecke, erwarte ich auf keinen Fall, dass er der Milliardär ist, dem das Gebäude gehört. Ich erwarte auch nicht, dass ich ihn fast umbringe ... aus Versehen, natürlich.

What if the person destined to complete you… has the same name as you? MIT graduate Sawyer Baker has built walls around her heart as complex as her code. When a mistaken kiss with her brilliant, misanthropic colleague Sawyer Worthington threatens their positions at Octothorpe, they engineer the perfect solution: a marriage on paper only. Their arrangement is calculated, logical, and absolutely temporary—until proximity reveals what algorithms can’t predict: undeniable chemistry.

The Rusty Spur Saloon has seen better days. Its owner, Selina King, promised her father on his deathbed that she would keep it open and make it a success. A slowing economy has made it an almost impossible promise to keep. She is on the brink of having to close the Spur when the Vipers, a local motorcycle club, come to her rescue - sort of. Darrell Cox is the newest full-patched member of the Vipers who piques Selina’s interest and desire. When they arrive at the Rusty Spur, he has no idea that he will find a beautiful woman who will challenge him and put a crack in his hard heart.

BRAIN SHOTS: Not everyone has the time to listen to long recordings of their favourite books- which is where Brain Shots come in. These are ‘big ideas’ books in a bite-sized audio format- taken complete and unabridged from the ebook edition.

Es ist allgemein bekannt, dass ein alleinstehender Mann, der Gesichtsbehaarung hat, sich rasieren will. Und Aufräumen. Und ein falsches Date braucht. Mein Name ist Holly Hyman. Ich liebe Ordnung und Primzahlen – und ich stecke in Schwierigkeiten. Die Firma, für die ich arbeite, ist im Umbruch, und zwar auf eine Weise, die mir nicht gefällt. Unser neues Management? Alex Chortsky, ein gutaussehender, ungepflegter russischer Teufel. Unsere neue Ausrichtung? VR-Unterhaltung der prickelnden Art.

Okay, lasst mich erklären. Ich brach in die Umkleidekabine meines Schwarmes ein, um an seiner Strumpfhose zu schnüffeln (nicht auf eine perverse Art und Weise, ich schwöre!) und wurde dabei erwischt, als ich, ähm... ihr versteht schon. Er hat mich dann irgendwie erpresst, einer Scheinehe mit ihm für eine Greencard zuzustimmen. Aber hey, ich beschwere mich nicht.

Der mürrische Nachbar meiner Großeltern ist so heiß wie die tödliche Sonne Floridas. Und wie die Sonne, ist er schlecht für mich. Mein Männergeschmack ist der schlechteste—fragen Sie nur meinen Ex und seine einstweilige Verfügung. Was ich in Florida bei meinen Großeltern mache? Nun, mein bester Freund ist ein Krake, und er braucht ein größeres Becken, also habe ich einen Job in einem Aquarium im Sunshine State angenommen. Ich hatte nicht erwartet, dass dieser sexy, langhaarige Brummbär versuchen würde, meinen Kraken für irgendwelche schändlichen Zwecke zu kaufen.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Or does it? Okay, let me explain. I broke into my crush’s dressing room to sniff his tights (not in a pervy way, I swear!) and got busted while, um... you get the idea. He then kind of, sort of blackmailed me into agreeing to a fake green card marriage with him. But hey, I’m not complaining. Next thing I know, we’re on a flight to Vegas to make our friends and family think we had a crazy drunken night and, in the spur of the moment, tied the knot. Except… that’s exactly what happens.

My name is Blue - insert a mood-related joke here - and I’m a femme fatale in training. My goal is to join the CIA. Unfortunately, I have a tiny issue with birds, and the closest I’ve come to my dream is working for a government agency that’s disturbingly up-to-speed on everyone’s sexts, rants in private Facebook groups, and secret family chocolate-chip cookie recipes.
