I am flawed,I am human,I am sad,I am learning,I am me,And I will never apologize for that.Sara Pogue is a young woman who does not apologize for who she is. In a debut volume of short verse, she reflects on mental health, abuse, addiction, love, and life itself.Within poems that highlight both the difficulties and beauty in her journey, Sara explores the thoughts that come out to play while the madness silently slips out, the sweet symphony of the demons inside her head, the lies that keep petals from blooming again, an angel and a rock that never gives up hope, the love in hearts that shake earth to its core, and anxiety that randomly pops up like a jack-in-the-box.The Thoughts inside My Head is a collection of poetry that provides a lyrical glimpse into a young woman's beautiful, imperfect life.

ELT METHODS AND APPROACHES: EXPERIMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS narrates the experiments and observations of different methodological approaches in English Language Teaching. The beginning of each chapter provides a conceptual framework of each method and approach supported by well-known critics and scholars in the field. Such a theoretical background to most of the methods and approaches in English Language Teaching may attract students, research scholars and classroom teachers.The book shares personal experiences in writing this book, an amalgam of theory and practice in English Language Teaching. They emphasize the application of those methods and approaches in a particular EFL/ESL situation. That is what seemed to motivate me to write this book, a different source in that it not only provides the conceptual framework of different methods, approaches and techniques but also executes and experiments with them in EFL/ESL situations. The work is unique as it not only experiments with different methods and approaches but also observes what practical challenges learners and teachers face during their implementation as well as how these difficulties can be addressed and overcome.This text has provided adequate scope for learners, the target group to integrate them into the research. They have actively participated in the creation and formation of this book. The book has positively included learners' feedback on the execution, approach and technique. Their feedback is important in assessing whether a method or approach is successful in a specific EFL/ESL environment. Learners' feedback has assisted the authors as they present, discuss and assess the advantages and disadvantages of each method. We have shared personal experiences with different EFL/ESL learners in three countries, the United States of America, Saudi Arabia and India.

Set on the planet Equus, where the dominant species has evolved from horses instead of primates, the civilization is much like Earth, except that there is but one theocratic government. Being descended from horses, yet similar to humans in body construction, the inhabitants have the head, hands, and feet similar to horses, but only the adult males have a tail, which, like human facial hair, grows in at the onset of puberty. All tails are white, except for those who are attracted by their own sex. Their tail grows in brown.Tyler is your typical teen, but a late bloomer. When his tail starts to come in, his world is turned upside down. Through the trials that are familiar to many gay teens on Earth, he experiences just what damage religious prejudice can do, because of the mistaken notion that being same-sex oriented is a choice. Just as Tyler becomes smitten with Joey, religion clashes with science and the whole of society is rocked to the core by unspeakable violence. Will civilization survive? Self-identified Christians, by drawing parallels, should reconsider their religion-based homophobia, when true Bible scholars know that Christ said nothing of the kind.4.13.22On the planet Equus, the dominant species has evolved from horse people; the inhabitants have the head, hands, and feet similar to horses, but only the adult males have a tail, which, like human facial hair, grows in at the onset of puberty.

The book explores the roles that spirituality plays in our lives as they undoubtedly did in her vast experience.

It provides an avenue for the reader to assess his or her own true identity in navigating the environment within the adaptive process so as to maximize their potential. This is a critical part of human development particularly for persons finding themselves in a "different" culture.

The Obelisk is a supernatural thriller that's filled with intrigue, drama, romance, action and adventure.Life had recently become very interesting for Dr. David Sholfield?a new town, a new career, a new love interest. The happiness he felt at joining Dr. Lucas' renowned surgical team at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago was only eclipsed by meeting the lovely Angela Stockman, a college professor at Columbia College.Angela's friend and fellow professor, Tom Harrison, who she brought along on their first date, exhibited certain eccentricities, leading David to the conclusion that he, as well as Angela were harboring secrets, and he was determined to find out what they were.As David continued dating Angela, he learned one of her secrets, that she was heiress to the fortune of a wealthy real-estate developer. David noticed, during several outings at Angela's parent's mansion, that Tom Harrison's behavior continued to deteriorate, culminating in a psychotic episode at a 4th of July celebration at a European Aristocrat's mansion.When David visited him in his hospital room the next day, Thomas asked him to retrieve a cedar chest, located at his parent's cabin in West Virginia. Out of sympathy, David agreed. Unfortunately, when he returned, Thomas was dead, having passed away under mysterious circumstances, leaving David in possession of the chest, which contained two books written in a strange language.After the books were translated, David learned that one of them was the memoirs of the now deceased Thomas Harrison. The information he gleaned from Tom's memoirs changed his life forever. David knew that he had to make the most important choice that anyone could ever possibly have to make.He could either dismiss the writings as the hysterical ravings of a madman, or he could try to discover if the information contained in them was true, because if it was true, it would be the most important find in the history of mankind.
