Confessions of a Troll Artemis Greenleaf on Podiobooks.com "It was just a simple computer prank. How could I have known that it would almost get us all killed?"When sixteen year old Cai Peterson poses as an online troll to relieve the boredom after being grounded for drinking at a party, he tangles with a cyberstalker who's not only willing to make his virtual life miserable, but his real life as well. As Cai searches for the stalker, it seems like nearly everyone in his sleepy Texas town has something to hide. Surrounded by suspects, Cai has to navigate a shifting landscape of treachery and truth to uncover a hidden enemy before he and his family pay the ultimate price. Communication in the Past Communicasts Today communication as one of the most important skills. And this was also true for the early modern period – the period which started with Gutenberg’s great invention and which saw ideas spread faster than ever before. During this time gossip played an important role, uncomfortable truths could cost lives and things took a dramatic turn when books and pamphlets were massproduced. In this podcast you will hear fascinating stories of people who tried to communicate effectively. But not everyone succeeded.All of these stories are documented even if some sound too good to be true. And to give you a feel for the time, each episode contains fitting background sounds. These podcasts revolve around effective communication and this is why you’ll get every story in just 10 minutes. I am your host Saskia and I hope you enjoy the stories as much as I do. In case you do, I would be very happy to see you spread the word about my podcasts.A thousand thanks! A Hero of Our Time Mikhail Yurevich Lermontov A Hero of Our Time is indeed a portrait, but not of one man. It is a portrait built up of all our generation's vices in full bloom. You will again tell me that a human being cannot be so wicked, and I will reply that if you can believe in the existence of all the villains of tragedy and romance, why wouldn't believe that there was a Pechorin? If you could admire far more terrifying and repulsive types, why aren't you more merciful to this character, even if it is fictitious? Isn't it because there's more truth in it than you might wish? (Summary by the author) Enemy Of Soviets Enemy Of Soviets A minute of light when we met. Flash.. And gradual extinction. The pain of despair will be what I have saved. Who am I? Why me?... And here I am a stranger to everything - an enemy to everything.Enemy of Soviets - electrified autumn melancholy and romantic sadness post-punk revival, which is filled with sincere emotions and genuine honesty to himself. English-language lyrics, ringing like a pain guitar and humming like a call of conscience synthesizer filled with philosophical irony and melancholic mood of the truth of life.The main author of the songs for the Enemy of Soviets is Artyom Chepurnykh. The main thread through all the texts are reflections on the relationship between a man and a woman, not lacking depressive moods and philosophical irony. The band is not restricted to the conventional and banal thoughts on this topic. Inspiration Artyom finds in his own life, so the lyrics could be called autobiographical.
