  If a friendship lasts longer than fifteen years, you're no longer friends. You're family. 
  Since childhood, Lorna has been curious about Germany and her ancestral roots there. She was fourteen when her great-grandfather died, a man who was born in what is now part of Ukraine but who was a self-proclaimed, proud German. 
  Having grown up during the Cold War, Lorna had always viewed the former East and West Germany as being starkly different until 1999, when she met Christine, a woman from the former East Germany who became one of Lorna's closest lifetime friends. 
  Over twenty-five years, Lorna made several trips to Germany in search of the world's largest cuckoo clock, a hotel in Berlin where guests can sleep in a coffin or prison cell, another hotel along the Rhein River that is owned by a family who may or may not be Lorna's distant relatives, sausage that meets the Nuremberg Sausage Protection Association's standards, and the best view of Neuschwanstein Castle. 
  In her most recent memoir, travel and humour writer Lorna Stuber tells of her adventures in Germany while she reconnects with and learns more about her familial ties to Europe.

  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Jurassic Park is a 1993 science fiction adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, based on Michael Crichton’s novel. The story follows a group of experts and visitors who are invited to a futuristic theme park on an isolated island, where genetically engineered dinosaurs roam free. The park’s creator, John Hammond, promises a revolutionary experience, but when a series of malfunctions occur, the visitors must navigate through dangerous encounters with the recreated prehistoric creatures. The film explores themes of scientific ethics, the unpredictability of nature, and the consequences of tampering with genetic engineering, blending thrilling action with thought-provoking questions. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “The success of Jurassic Park and its book sparked a significant rise in the popularity of paleontology, resulting in a marked increase in students pursuing the subject.” 
    
  “The roars of the Tyrannosaurus Rex were created by combining sounds from various animals, including dogs, penguins, tigers, alligators, and elephants.” 
    
  “Michael Crichton originally envisioned John Hammond as a character inspired by a darker version of Walt Disney.” 
    
  “Universal Pictures acquired the film rights to Michael Crichton's novel for $2 million before it was even published.” 
    
  “The Mr. DNA cartoon, appearing around the 25-minute mark in the movie, was Steven Spielberg’s way of quickly summarizing much of the novel’s exposition.”

  Bed bugs have been making a valiant comeback in the West since the end of the Second World War, and are now firmly entrenched in our cities. So much so, that every Western hotel has to take special precautions costing an aggregated sum of billions of dollars a year, which is passed on to us, the paying guest. 
  It is long past the time when everyone should take this subject seriously, so, in that vein, I hope that you will find the information below helpful, useful and profitable. 
  The advice in this ebook on how to deal with bed bugs and related subjects is organised into 18 chapters of about 500-600 words each. I have also included the scientific classification for clarity and the lyrics of two popular songs for the sake of levity. 
  As an added bonus, I am granting you permission to use the content on your own website or in your own blogs and newsletter, although it is better if you rewrite them in your own words first.
