  What Happened to Belén - The...

  ""There are many women like Belén whose names we don’t know, but whose stories are just as important. An uplifting chronicle of one woman’s fight for justice.""—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 
  Foreword by Margaret Atwood 
  The heartbreaking true story of an Argentinian woman imprisoned for having a miscarriage—an injustice that galvanized a feminist movement and became a global rallying cry in the fight for reproductive rights. 
  In 2014, Belén, a twenty-five-year-old woman living in rural Argentina, went to the hospital for a stomachache—and soon found herself in prison. While at the hospital she had a miscarriage—without knowing she was pregnant. Because of the nation’s repressive laws surrounding abortion and reproductive rights, the doctors were forced to report her to the authorities. Despite her protestations, Belén was convicted and sentenced to two years for homicide. 
  Belén’s imprisonment is a glaring example of how women’s health care has become increasingly criminalized, putting the most vulnerable—BIPOC, rural, and low-income—women at greater risk of prosecution. Belén’s cause became the centerpiece of a movement to achieve greater protections for all women. After two failed attempts to clear her name, Belén met feminist lawyer Soledad Deza, who quickly rallied Amnesty International and ignited an international feminist movement around #niunamas—not one more—symbolized by thousands of demonstrators around the globe donning white masks, the same kind of mask Belén wore when leaving prison. The #niunamas movement was instrumental in pressuring Argentine president Alberto Fernández to decriminalize abortion in 2021.  
  In this gripping and personal account of the case and its impact on local law, Ana Correa, one of Argentina’s leading journalists and activists, makes clear that what happened to Belén could happen to any woman—and that we all have the power to raise our collective voices and demand change.

  My Brother's Keeper tells the behind-the-scenes story of how the American president and the Israeli prime minister clashed about peace, war, and the future of the region. 
   
   
   
  Barack Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu viewed the world—and especially the Middle East—differently. The US president wanted to end what he saw as America's perpetual war against the Muslim and Arab worlds, use diplomacy to bring about a Palestinian state coexisting peacefully with Israel, and apply his signature foreign policy vision to reward the Islamic Republic of Iran in exchange for the scaling back of their nuclear pursuits. The Israeli premier wanted his country to thrive without the senseless bloodshed of terror and violence, and he was determined to protect the Jewish state from threats of annihilation by a member of the axis of evil that would one day be armed with nuclear weapons. Netanyahu wanted peace for peace, as well as the acceptance of Israel as a full-fledged part of the Middle East. In 2014, during a pivotal summer of terrorist violence, a war in Gaza, and the advancement of a nuclear deal with Iran, the two men clashed, threatening the US-Israeli strategic alliance and the future of the region. The Middle East would never be the same.

  Sincerity - Communicating with...

  Sincerity is the foundation of meaningful communication. It fosters trust, deepens relationships, and allows individuals to express themselves without fear of pretense or deception. In a world where surface-level interactions are common, sincere communication stands out as a rare and valuable trait. People instinctively recognize authenticity, gravitating toward those who speak with honesty and conviction. When words and intentions align, communication becomes more impactful, creating connections that are both genuine and lasting. 
  Authenticity in speech and action is not just about being truthful; it is about being fully present and engaged in the conversation. It requires self-awareness, a clear understanding of personal values, and the courage to express oneself without the need for embellishment. Those who communicate sincerely are not driven by the desire to impress or manipulate. Instead, they prioritize clarity and honesty, ensuring their words accurately reflect their thoughts and emotions. This transparency fosters deeper connections, as others feel heard, respected, and valued in return. 
  Sincerity also plays a crucial role in credibility. Whether in personal relationships or professional settings, trust is built on consistent and honest communication. People who habitually exaggerate or hide their true feelings often struggle to gain the confidence of others. On the other hand, individuals who speak with integrity create an environment where open dialogue is encouraged, reducing misunderstandings and fostering mutual respect. When sincerity is at the core of interactions, people feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of judgment or manipulation.

  FLYING SAUCERS - A Modern Myth...

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. Jung's primary concern in Flying Saucers is not with the reality or unreality of UFOs but with their psychic aspect. Rather than speculate about their possible nature and extraterrestrial origin as alleged spacecraft, he asks what it may signify that these phenomena, whether real or imagined, are seen in such numbers just at a time when humankind is menaced as never before in history. The UFOs represent, in Jung's phrase, "a modern myth."
