Book excerpt: Are you tired of feeling invisible and alone? There are few things worse than hiding behind an invisible mask with a fake smile, feeling unnoticed, unwanted, and desperately hoping that someone would notice the real you. Most of my life I struggled to fit in and to be accepted. I felt invisible and that I didn’t have a voice. Through my journey of finding acceptance and purpose, I wrote my prayers to God in the form of poems and wrote moments that I encountered a lesson learned or a struggle. I needed an outlet, so I wrote. What I didn’t expect was by doing so, I would find healing, acceptance, and love. I came to know of a loving Father who showed me that I wasn’t invisible, but loved by Him and had a purpose. God had a purpose for my tears and put it on my heart to share my journey with others. You deserve to be noticed, cared for, and valued. You are not alone but loved. My prayer is with this book others can and will find comfort and hope as my struggles point them to a Loving God, Savior, and Friend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Britanie... Britanie Buchanan," a voice from the intercom announced. "Please report to the peer counselor's office immediately."The announcement disturbed sub-consciousness as Britanie raised her head from the desk to the empty classroom. She wore an expression that stated clearly she couldn't care less."What the hell do these people want with me again," she grumbled beneath her breath, rising blandly from the seat to march firmly through the doorway. She was dying inside. Over the past four years her world had turned from white to black then gray but at the moment she had no clue what shade it took. She had wished for her last day on earth so many days with those years and today its fulfillment was her only desire.Britanie sauntered towards the door of the peer counselor's office and knocked it. Miss Wells purposefully rose from her desk and came to the door to let her in. "It's nice to see you today Britanie, have a seat," her voice was warm and graceful but Britanie became irritated the moment she saw the woman's lit face."Thank you," she responded flatly, sitting like a stone in the chair. The counselor resumed her seat."Britanie,you know why we're here, right? Your aura has been sending shockwaves to your companions and also a number of your teachers. Do you wish to confide in me today?" Miss Wells posed in her most soft appealing tone."If I can recall clearly, I've been in here last week Monday, Wednesday of that week and now today Tuesday," her irking was again blooming. "Miss Wells, I'm fine. If I had something to talk about , I would," she pasted eagerly."There're times when we have something to say but we're not sure if we should say it or even more frighteningly, who to share it with but these are the things that eat at our souls.""I said I would, if I had something to say," Britanie interjected ardently."Okay sweetie but know for sure that the doors are opened to you at any hour of the day," the counselor console amidst the surprising blurt."Thank you very much," Britanie found her composure. "I'll always keep that in mind."Britanie got up instantly from the table and hasted from the office. School was dismissed but she didn't want to go home. Sitting on an outside bench, she retrieved her cellular phone to ring her cab but instead, dialled her best friend's number.If ever she found herself disclosing her suppression, it had to be with Jessana. The phone rang without picking up, and a second time without an answer. The failure walled her eyes once more. When the burn got intense, she scooped up her belongings and treaded off to the staff's restroom.*****Jessana exited the shower and rushed towards the phone she heard ringing earlier. When she recognized the missed calls were both from Britanie, she redialled immediately. "Hi Brit..." The line was opened but there was no response as two rolls chased disobediently down Britanie's cheeks. Jessana could hear her sobbing in the background. "Britanie? Britanie! What's wrong, where are you? she stuttered."I'm here," Britanie whispered, "I'm going to kill that man, that bastard! That... son of a bitch!" she steamed. Jessana rose from the spot she was sitting on the bed and started pacing the floor with one palm wide opened."Brit please, promise me you won't do anything stupid. I'm coming over now," she hastened to say."I'm not," Britanie stumbled on the thought of finally opening up, "It's okay Jessana, I'm still at school.""No, I'm coming over as soon as you get in. Promise me you'll call your cab when you get off the phone," Jessana demanded heatedly. "We need to have a conversation in person and... word for word."It was time; full time to vomit it out. Heedlessly, Britanie promised her best friend. There and then she wished only if she would lock herself away in her cubicle forever. Like a pack of card, desires were assembled; ready to be decked out on life's table but fate wouldn't have it to be as rage gave birth to wretchedness.
Download or read book Invisible Killer written by Diana Montane and published by Titletown Publishing, LLC. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When detectives respond to a crime scene in Orlando, Florida, during the "summer of hurricanes" in 2004, they find Charlie Brandt hanging from the rafters in the garage of his niece, Michelle Jones' home. Inside the house, they find a scene of horror that reminds them of other murders. In 1978, 13-year-old Carol Lynn Sullivan's head was found inside a rusty paint can in Osteen, Florida; her body was never found. Homeless transient Sherry Perisho was murdered in 1989, after moving to Florida from Illinois. Finally, in 1995, Miami prostitute Darlene Toler was deposited on the side of the road, wrapped up "like a package." Perisho and Toler had their hearts removed; all three had been decapitated; and all three are believed by investigators to have been the prior victims of Charlie Brandt. Invisible Killer is the true story of crimes committed by Brandt with insight from an FBI profiler and forensic psychologist, victim's friends and relatives, and the unique writings from victims themselves before their deaths.

Download or read book Face and Mask written by Hans Belting and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cultural history of the face in Western art, ranging from portraiture in painting and photography to film, theater, and mass media This fascinating book presents the first cultural history and anthropology of the face across centuries, continents, and media. Ranging from funerary masks and masks in drama to the figural work of contemporary artists including Cindy Sherman and Nam June Paik, renowned art historian Hans Belting emphasizes that while the face plays a critical role in human communication, it defies attempts at visual representation. Belting divides his book into three parts: faces as masks of the self, portraiture as a constantly evolving mask in Western culture, and the fate of the face in the age of mass media. Referencing a vast array of sources, Belting's insights draw on art history, philosophy, theories of visual culture, and cognitive science. He demonstrates that Western efforts to portray the face have repeatedly failed, even with the developments of new media such as photography and film, which promise ever-greater degrees of verisimilitude. In spite of sitting at the heart of human expression, the face resists possession, and creative endeavors to capture it inevitably result in masks—hollow signifiers of the humanity they're meant to embody. From creations by Van Eyck and August Sander to works by Francis Bacon, Ingmar Bergman, and Chuck Close, Face and Mask takes a remarkable look at how, through the centuries, the physical visage has inspired and evaded artistic interpretation.
Download or read book Help Me Information written by David Kirby and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2021-08-11 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Help Me, Information is propelled by the speed and motion of the poems that define earlier acclaimed books by David Kirby, poems that move the way the mind does on a good day, puddle-jumping from one topic to another and then coming in for a nice soft landing. Colloquial in tone, balancing narrative breadth with precise detail, Kirby’s poetry displays his voracious curiosity about history, science, literature, and popular culture. Yet here he also reinvents himself with poems that recall the compactness of Jack Gilbert, the sweep of Allen Ginsberg, and the introspection of Frank O’Hara. Help Me, Information presents a fresh Kirby, familiar yet new.

Download or read book Truth About Masks written by Judy Mikovits and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do we really need to wear masks? From the New York Times Bestselling authors of Plague of Corruption comes the must-read guide on masks and re-opening following the COVID-19 pandemic. The Truth About Masks is the book all America needs to be reading as the COVID-19 pandemic rages on. Written by New York Times bestselling authors Dr. Judy Mikovits and Kent Heckenlively, this book reviews the evidence for and against widespread public masking as provided by the Centers for Disease Control and the Mayo Clinic, as well as top scientific publications such as the New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet. This debate needs to take place without fear and paranoia. Important questions raised in this book are the effect of masks on oxygen and carbon dioxide levels, how COVID-19 spreads, the effectiveness of various types of masks, those who are most vulnerable to COVID-19, and what measures should be taken by schools as children continue to return to in-person classes. The authors' previous book, Plague of Corruption, was the runaway science bestseller of 2020, and the authors bring that same passion and attention to detail to the mask question. As politicians and bureaucrats of all stripes are weighing in on this question, with some again placing their cities and states under mandatory masking provisions, we need to understand the science behind their decisions. Are such measures a reasonable response to current circumstances, or is it a dramatic overreach, which in many cases might make the situation even worse? America desperately needs this public conversation to take place with the best science we have available. As Americans have always done during difficult times, we must summon the courage to have these challenging conversations.

Download or read book Situating Sexualities written by Fran Martin and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book in English to analyse the stunning rise to prominence of cultures of dissident sexuality in Taiwan during the 1990s. Positioned at the crossroads of queer theory and postcolonial cultural studies, this book intervenes in current debates on sexuality and globalization to argue that the current emergence of public, dissident sexualities in non-Western locations like Taiwan cannot be reduced to the effects of homogenizing 'Westernization'. Instead, Situating Sexualities approaches the queer sexualities represented in recent Taiwanese fiction, film and public culture as dynamic formations that combine local knowledge with globalizing discourses on gay and lesbian identity to produce sexualities that are multiple, shifting and inherently hybrid. Equally, the book pushes out the limits of 'queer' to challenge the Eurocentrism of much queer theory to date. Consistently critical of essentializing accounts of 'Chinese' culture, the book nevertheless highlights some of the important ways in which Taiwanese formations of dissident sexuality differ from the familiar Euro-American formations.
Download or read book The Address Book written by Deirdre Mask and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2020 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction | One of Time Magazines's 100 Must-Read Books of 2020 | Longlisted for the 2020 Porchlight Business Book Awards "An entertaining quest to trace the origins and implications of the names of the roads on which we reside." —Sarah Vowell, The New York Times Book Review When most people think about street addresses, if they think of them at all, it is in their capacity to ensure that the postman can deliver mail or a traveler won’t get lost. But street addresses were not invented to help you find your way; they were created to find you. In many parts of the world, your address can reveal your race and class. In this wide-ranging and remarkable book, Deirdre Mask looks at the fate of streets named after Martin Luther King Jr., the wayfinding means of ancient Romans, and how Nazis haunt the streets of modern Germany. The flipside of having an address is not having one, and we also see what that means for millions of people today, including those who live in the slums of Kolkata and on the streets of London. Filled with fascinating people and histories, The Address Book illuminates the complex and sometimes hidden stories behind street names and their power to name, to hide, to decide who counts, who doesn’t—and why.
Download or read book Venice Incognito written by James H. Johnson and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The entire town is disguised," declared a French tourist of eighteenth-century Venice. And, indeed, maskers of all ranks—nobles, clergy, imposters, seducers, con men—could be found mixing at every level of Venetian society. Even a pious nun donned a mask and male attire for her liaison with the libertine Casanova. In Venice Incognito, James H. Johnson offers a spirited analysis of masking in this carnival-loving city. He draws on a wealth of material to explore the world view of maskers, both during and outside of carnival, and reconstructs their logic: covering the face in public was a uniquely Venetian response to one of the most rigid class hierarchies in European history. This vivid account goes beyond common views that masking was about forgetting the past and minding the muse of pleasure to offer fresh insight into the historical construction of identity.
