Download or read book The Notebook Girls written by Julia Baskin and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11-15 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We're just a group of normal girls with normal lives. Our notebook is meant to make you laugh—​and make you remember. Everyone likes to think they started the notebook. Sophie claims she stole the idea from two girls in her math class. Courtney still has a death grip on the theory that the notebook was her invention. Lindsey doesn't really care; she's just along for the ride. And Julia never knows what's going on anyway. What we do know is that we started the notebook in freshman year at Stuyvesant High School as a way to keep in contact when our conflicting schedules denied us one another's company. It allowed us to express ourselves and our views of the world in a tone of complete sarcasm, obscenity, and blind honesty. We've spent a significant portion of our adolescence trying to figure out who we are. The notebook is the closest we've come.

Download or read book Andy Sofia written by Andres Trevino and published by andysofia. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an incubated petri dish in a Boston laboratory, a cluster of eight living cells holds the key to a daring new era of medical science. These cells come from a human embryo, containing genetic material from my wife, Paulina, and me, obtained through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Research using these cells holds enormous potential to cure a fatal disease, saving the lives of countless children and relieving their families of unspeakable pain. We lived that pain ourselves. When our son was born we didn't know what a tortuous road stretched ahead of us- how our baby would suffer, and how we'd suffer with him. We didn't know he'd spend nearly 1,000 days in seven different hospitals, see more than 300 doctors and swerve close do death many times. We didn't know we'd have to take matters into our own hands to find the medical miracle that would save him. Nine years ago, Paulina and I embarked on a desperate quest. We needed to create a baby with the right genetic profile, whose umbilical cord blood could save our 2-year-old son, Andy, dying from a rare genetic disease. The baby would also have to be free of the inherited disease killing our son. After three years and five IVF cycles, and with the critical intervention of a novel medical technology called pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), our daughter, Sofia, was born. Her cord blood stem cells, transplanted into her brother via blood transfusion, replaced his faulty immune system and saved his life. Today we are blessed that Andy, 11, and Sofia, 6, are both healthy, beautiful children. In gratitude, Paulina and I donated the remaining frozen IVF embryos-the ones that could never be used because they carried the flawed gene causing the disease-to the Stem Cell Research Program at Children's Hospital Boston, where Andy's disease was diagnosed and cured. Scientists there were able to develop two new stem cell lines whose unique genetic properties will help researchers learn how Andy's disease, and many others, develop. From that knowledge will come treatments and cures. My wife and I know our story and its difficult moral choices is highly controversial. We've chosen to share it to give the issue a human face and voice-and to give hope to other families facing similar dilemmas.

Download or read book Yesterday Today Tomorrow written by Sophia Loren and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 467 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow is Sophia Loren's definitive autobiography, revealing her personal journey from the hardship of her childhood in Naples to her life as a screen legend, sharing stories of work, love, and family. Each chapter begins with a letter, a document, a photograph, or object that prompts her reminiscences. In her own words, these memoirs originated as, "Unpublished memories, curious anecdotes, tiny secrets told, all of which spring from a box found by chance, a precious treasure trove filled with emotions, experiences, adventures." In her incredible life story, Loren vividly recounts her difficult childhood in Naples during World War II, remembers her parents and their tempestuous relationship, and reveals the pain of growing up in her grandparents' house with her single, unmarried mother and younger sister. She tells how she got her start by winning a beauty pageant ("La regina del mare") and how her ambition drove her success in cinema before revealing the influence of the producer Carlo Ponti, who cast her in her early roles and later became her husband. Loren takes us behind the scenes of the movies, her early stardom and move to Hollywood revealing intimate and never before shared stories of her famed costars: Brando, Newman, Burton, Peck, Heston, and many more. With emotional honesty, Loren goes on to discuss her long desire to become a mother and the disappointments she suffered on that path, the ultimate joy she felt at having her two sons, and scenes from her life as a mother and grandmother.

Book excerpt: Many times things happen to us that we cannot explain, situations that cause us pain because we do not understand them. We even blame fate for our misfortune or unhappiness, for our illness or that of a loved one, for our shortcomings or limitations. But what if all this is a gift that is passed on from generation to generation to heal someone other than our ancestors? What if our experiences are the fruit of past experiences, of our transgenerational memory? What if physical ailments brought a message that could be biodecoded? What if we became aware of all those experiences and healed our problems? Would we feel free? Would we regain our health? Would we redirect our path and find new goals? This book is based on a true story, on the author's own experiences of circumstances in her life that she could not understand but that she knew were not accidental. Together with her you will see how she advanced on a path she never would have imagined, surrounded and conditioned by the influences of the patterns inherited from the ancestral energy of her clan.

Book excerpt: What would you do to bring back someone you love? After the unexpected loss of his girlfriend, a boy suffering from delusions believes he can travel through time to save her in this gripping new novel from New York Times bestselling author Beth Revis. "A story that’s both heartbreaking and hopeful." —Publishers Weekly, starred review “Revis’s account of grief, loss, first love, and anguish, presented through a lens of mental illness, is a must-read.” —VOYA, starred review “A heartrending, beautifully complex look at mental illness, life, and loss. I tore through the pages, and, days later, this story still has a hold on me.” —Alexandra Bracken, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Darkest Minds series and Passenger Seventeen-year-old Bo has always had delusions that he can travel through time. When he was ten, Bo claimed to have witnessed the Titanic hit an iceberg, and at fifteen, he found himself on a Civil War battlefield, horrified by the bodies surrounding him. So when his concerned parents send him to a school for troubled youth, Bo assumes he knows the truth: that he’s actually attending Berkshire Academy, a school for kids who, like Bo, have "superpowers." At Berkshire, Bo falls in love with Sofia, a quiet girl with a tragic past and the superpower of invisibility. Sofia helps Bo open up in a way he never has before. In turn, Bo provides comfort to Sofia, who lost her mother and two sisters at a very young age. But even the strength of their love isn’t enough to help Sofia escape her deep depression. After she commits suicide, Bo is convinced that she's not actually dead. He believes that she's stuck somewhere in time — that he somehow left her in the past, and now it's his job to save her. Not since Ned Vizzini’s It’s Kind of a Funny Story has there been such a heartrending depiction of mental illness. In her first contemporary novel, Beth Revis guides readers through the mind of a young man struggling to process his grief as he fights his way through his delusions. As Bo becomes more and more determined to save Sofia, he has to decide whether to face his demons head-on, or succumb to a psychosis that will let him be with the girl he loves.

Download or read book Break up written by Joanna Walsh and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel in essays that locates a “romance” within the mesh of electronic communication. So I didn't call you: instead I posted a new avatar of myself without my habitual dark glasses. I have learned: an image, any image, is a blind. All avatars give different information, illusions of contact called Telepresence, none of them the real thing. You texted me, 3 am, from some station … As though it made any difference. But it did. —from Break.up In this “novel in essays,” Joanna Walsh simultaneously flees and pursues an ambiguous partner in an affair conducted mostly online. Traversing Europe, she awaits emails and texts and PMs, awash in her dreams, offering succinct meditations on connection and communication. If Marguerite Duras situated the telephone as the twentieth century's preferred hopeless form of connection, Walsh pinpoints the nodal points of a “romance” within today's mesh of electronic communication. As Deborah Levy observed recently, “Joanna Walsh is fast becoming one of our most important writers.” Her 2015 book Hotel, an investigation of transience conducted through hotel reviews, was described by The Paris Review as “a slim, sharp meditation on hotels and desires. [Walsh is] funny throughout, even as she documents the dissolution of her marriage and the peculiar brand of alienation on offer in lavish places.” Praise for Joanna Walsh “Walsh's writing has intellectual rigor and bags of formal bravery.” —The Financial Times “Hotel feels like something you want to endlessly quote: sharp, knowing, casually erudite … there is power and an affecting gravitas in what Walsh does with detail.” —Sydney Review of Books “Walsh is a sublimely elegant writer … artful and intelligent.” —The New Statesman

Download or read book The Last Prophecy written by Murat Ukray and published by eKitap Projesi & Cheapest Books. This book was released on 2021-01-26 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do the number Pi (π) contain everything within? Such as your date of birth, your date of death, even the date of the Doomsday. Well, what if someone knew that a long time ago and coded it somewhere? Could someone else have discovered America in the Middle Ages before Columbus? Well, what if this mysterious person is really a great Oracle who has to hide his talent, and what if his purpose of going there is not to discover a new continent, but to solve one of the world's greatest secrets, the Secret of a Mayan prophetic calendar that explains when the Doomsday in a Mayan pyramid is coming? The Mayans actually calculated the date of the Doomsday as 13.0.0.0.0 Baktun and they encoded it into a giant calendar. Well, what did that actually mean? 13 Baktun was actually a giant code in which the Mayans, who were also adept at mathematics, placed the true date of the Doomsday into the number Pi (π), and it indicated a date that was not 2012 but further. Did the Mayans come up with this information themselves, or did they get it from a lost civilization far more advanced than themselves, called Atlantis? Now everything was ready, he was about to find out which date actually 13th Baktun coincide with that is the biggest secret of human history hidden in the Mayan Calendar, which is impossible to solve, by calculating the hidden code in the number of Pi: 13th Baktun: 13,3333 × 366,6666 (day) = 4903rd code The 4903rd number of the Pi number Coincide with the year 2222. * * * In 1500, on a dark night in a farmhouse near Granada in Southern Spain, a gray-colored 1-meter extraterrestrial creature who called himself 'Alien' in his notes; stood in front of the door with two letters containing a series of prophecies about the future of the world and a mysterious map with a place marked on it, and with a huge picture that consisted of 100 scrambled numbers of some cryptic complex numbers and writing of future dates; and he was staring at Bruno with his big black eyes. In fact, this number picture, which is a giant 'Anagram', was a small piece of a giant spiral that began with 3.14... and extending to infinity, in which the histories of all the past and future events in the world were encoded. Alien suddenly threw the things in his hand towards him and began to run rapidly through the cornfield towards the lights descending from the sky 1 km away. As he began to run, the flying object began to quickly descend from the sky and disappeared into the darkness. Bruno first glanced toward the direction of the alien and went with fearful eyes. The chain of events that began in medieval Spain with a dramatic and bitter life and death struggle in the Inquisition led Bruno and his sister Sofia on a dangerous and long journey from Andalusia to a Mayan temple in Mexico, the center of the Mayan civilization, and it would eventually end with their execution. But the Great Prophecy that was announced would bring an end not only for the church or for them, but also the whole world this time. Because The Last Prophecy was leading humanity to the end of its story, the Doomsday, which started with the expulsion from Heaven. Where did humanity come from, where are we going? You will find the answer to this question in The Last Prophecy.
