DOWNLOAD EBOOKFormer Paralympian did the Unthinkable A man cannot choose to be born; he can however, choose to live. After he was abusively raised by the belt, abandoned by his mom, and then struck with a strain of meningitis that required all four limbs to be amputated, nine year old Bob Lujano faced an incredible decision. In a coma clinging to life, Lujano, wrapped like a mummy, sat up. A visitor stood at the end of his bed and gave him the choice to live or go to heaven. To give up and choose heaven would be the easy way out and no-one would blame him. To choose life meant living physically as a quad amputee and emotionally with the scars of rejection, abandonment, and abuse. Others would quite. He kept going. Staring ahead like a zombie, Lujano gave an unthinkable answer: "I don't care what state my body is in. I want to live. I have things to do." His decision was granted. From that day on, he fought and pushed his way into "normal" schools and activities to live a substantive life of independence like everyone else. The National Enquirer called him a "gutsy kid...[who] beats the odds." Larry King said Lujano and his Murderball teammates and co-stars were "inspirational" because they wouldn't trade their disability. Today, Bob does not consider himself to be disabled because he chooses life. Physically, he is able to live, work, drive, date, and cook just like the rest of us; independent without caretakers. Emotionally, he concentrates on gratitude and all the good that life has to offer. This broken family is restored; a legacy of abuse is redeemed to a legacy of championing and protection. In an age where image is everything and people are discounted for the way they look, Lujano crashes stereotypes and demands the reader to live their life with everything they've got: perseverance, love, forgiveness, joy, and peace. This is no woe-is-me story; Lujano chooses gratitude in the fact that he gets to live and he encourages others to do the same. No Arms, No Legs, No Problem is the inspirational memoir of a quad amputee living life on his own terms.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHave a Nice Day By: H.B. FLAY In Have a Nice Day, three New York Telephone Company employees find a briefcase containing 300 (OTB) OFF-TRACK BETTING tickets worth $1,000 each, for a total of three million dollars, which was absentmindedly left behind by a bumbling aid to a Mafia boss. A homeless man finds one of the tickets on the street that one of the Tel Co. guys loses. The homeless man's good fortune becomes fodder for a newspaper reporter's story, since the homeless man wants to use the money the ticket is worth to find his children, whom he hasn't seen in 20 years. Then the story unfolds—there’s the cemetery worker who reveals the secret WW2 formula that is ingested by the racehorses, enabling them to win their respective races; the handsome Mafia lawyer who falls in love with the beautiful Mafia moll; the trail they follow through the New York Public Library computer's database of missing children; the series of unexplained murders connected to one individual; a tenacious N.Y.P.D. Lieutenant; the three New York Tel. wives; and of course, the poor unsuspecting robber that foolishly decides to mug one of the New York Tel. guys and inadvertently pulls the entire tale together.
L2 Pragmatic Competence in Chinese EFL Routines

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book adopts a cross-sectional approach and mainly focuses on one of the core pragmatic constructs, formulaic/pragmatic routines, in addition to components put forward by Roever (2011) and Taguchi (2013). It actively integrates multidimensional pragmatic modalities—including both production (initiating and responding) and reception (recognition, comprehension, and perception), together with learners’ cognitive processes—rather than one or two types of task modalities. Focusing more on the Chinese EFL context instead of Japanese or European L1 learners, it also takes advantage of an emerging instrument, the computer-animated elicitation task, for data collection based on authentic oral responses and to avoid “coached” responses. The socio-cognitive approach, proposed by the famous linguistic expert Prof. Istvan Kecskes, is subsequently applied to conduct an in-depth analysis of the data. Hence, the book introduces a new and fruitful theoretical perspective to the traditional L2 pragmatic research field.
