Sinopsis

A true story.
 
 A broken marriage.
 
    A frozen embryo.
 
And one impossible decision:
 
SHOULD IT not LIVE?__________________________________Letters to an Embryo is an autobiographical novel that explores the deeply personal journey of Jasna Kaludjerovic as she grapples with the aftermath of a painful divorce. Left with a frozen embryo from the final IVF attempt, she feels torn between the responsibility of giving it a chance to live and the emotional weight of her past.
 
Over the course of many letters, Jasna writes to the embryo, reflecting on motherhood, identity, and the complexities of letting go.
 
The novel touches on themes of loss, hope, and the quiet resilience of the human spirit, offering readers an intimate exploration of one woman’s emotional and psychological struggle. With honesty and vulnerability, Kaludjerovic invites readers to walk with her through a personal crisis that many can relate to, yet few are willing to speak about.
 
Does it have the right to life?
 
How will it fit with her new role now?
 
What does it take to make a decision?

    Want to discover why William Shakespeare did NOT write the poems, plays and sonnets attributed to him? Using the internet during the COVID-19 pandemic to doublecheck what past experts have told us about William Shakespeare, author Robert Boog uses a fresh set of eyes to view the facts.  Because of all the fainting found in the poems and plays, Mr. Boog believes that the "real" author of the works probably suffered from epilepsy at a young age. Boog counted nine instances of fainting, but a British physician in 2006 counted 18 episodes of fainting with another 13 instances of "near" fainting. Why so much fainting? Did fainting morph into bipolar disorder when he was older? Boog claims BD symptoms can be found in the works while the man from Stratford never did. For this reason, a person close to Queen Elizabeth who showed symptoms of bipolar disorder and was called "the best playwright for comedy in Queen Elizabeth's court" makes the best choice for author.  Also, back in Elizabethan days, the Queen or King could behead anyone who "imagined the death of a ruler" so why would ANYONE in their right mind, write a play about the death of a ruler? Yet Hamlet, Anthony & Cleopatra and Richard II, all feature rulers who die. So writing under a pen name makes sense - esp in these days of fake Twitter handles and online cat-fishing.Mr. Boog suggests we approach the mystery of William Shakespeare's authorship like a modern-day "cold case" mystery. So, get ready to have fun listening and learning about a compelling case for the true authorship of the Shakespeare canon? A fun and informative audio book that includes humorous stories. It is read by the author from Los Angeles who has a wicked sense of humor."

    It's one of the greatest movie romances of all time. Yet the friction and controversy surrounding The Way We Were was so enormous, the movie was nearly never made at all. 
     
     
     
    Screenwriter Arthur Laurents wrote the role of Katie with Barbra Streisand in mind. Casting Hubbell was another matter. Robert Redford, already a superstar, was reluctant to play what he perceived as the "Ken doll" to Streisand's lead, and demanded his role be changed and expanded. Laurents resisted, telling director Sydney Pollack, "You'll ruin the movie if it ends up being about two people. It's Katie's story, not Hubbell's." Despite his protests, ten writers were brought on to rework the script. 
     
     
     
    Laurents's fears were well founded, and the first preview was disastrous. Producer Ray Stark and Pollack cut several scenes, upsetting Streisand and Laurents. Yet the edits worked. Such was the movie's success that Redford was open to making a sequel, though the script was never greenlit. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on Laurents's and Pollack's unpublished writings, as well as interviews with Streisand, Redford, and other key players, this is the definitive account of a film that changed the rules of moviemaking and defined romance ever since.

    Increasingly and mistakenly viewed as a single scandal within the United States government, what is commonly referred to as the Watergate scandal serves as an overarching term for a series of scandals beginning in 1971 and extending through 1974, although more than any other, it refers to the specific break-in at the Watergate Hotel and office complex in Washington, D.C. The crisis, originating in a secretive battle between the two major political parties, the Nixon White House’s paranoia, and the ensuing conflict concerning the release of confidential information to the public, induced senior government officials into committing crimes (most notoriously petty burglary) and coverups for the purposes of character assassination and inter-political espionage, and it ultimately resulted in the first and only resignation of a sitting American president, Richard Milhous Nixon. Watergate has since become so synonymous with scandal that “gate” is typically added to the end of words associated with scandals even today. 
    	In the wake of the seemingly peculiar burglary, gradual media and judicial pursuits of the thread of scandals led from one thing to another over the following years until it began to culminate with Congressional impeachment proceedings and a momentous showdown between the President and the Supreme Court over the release of presidential tapes, a moment in which Nixon seriously considered defying the Court and initiating a constitutional crisis. When he at last surrendered them, excerpts were blatantly missing, most famously an 18 minute stretch. Given the flurry of activities, it has only been in recent years that historians have gained a full measure of the nation’s perilous status during the intense battle between the various branches of the federal government, and the American public’s view of government in general took a decidedly negative turn.
