![]() ![]() Her personal life has created quite the legacy as well. Loretta Lynn had six children with her husband Doolittle Lynn. “Our precious mom, Loretta Lynn, passed away peacefully this morning, October 4th, in her sleep at home at her beloved ranch in Hurricane Mills,” they said. Loretta’s family announced her death in a statement, while also asking for privacy. Loretta performs with her son Ernst in 2010. With two more mega hits in “You Ain’t Woman Enough (To Take My Man)” and “Coal’s Miner’s Daughter,” it’s easy to see how Loretta landed 18 Grammy nominations and 3 wins! After decades in the music industry, Loretta sadly died at 90 years old on Tuesday, October 4. ![]() The Kentucky native first hit the scene back in 1960, when she landed a recording contract off her single “I’m a Honky Tonk Girl.” She then hit number one on the charts in 1967 with “Don’t Come Home A-Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind)”, which became one of the first albums by a female country artist to reach sales of 500,000 copies. Loretta Lynn has one of the most incredible legacies in all of country music.

This story is like a slightly older and more 'bookish' version of the Wimpy Kid books. At least it did it in a funny way though – an improvement on the classic romance! ![]() ![]() What I didn't like about this book was that it was always going on about Ishmael's girlfriend Kelly and Razz trying to 'match up' Ishmael with his cousin, Cindy. Even Scobie gets a nickname – You Whose Shoes I Am Not Worthy To Lick! There's lots of funny antics, but the use of ridiculous nicknames is a real winner - Bill becomes Bilbo, Ignatius Prindabel/ Prindabuddy/ Prindabubble, or even Pi Man. One thing going for this book is that it is very funny! Almost every chapter provoked a giggle at some point, which for me is a record since the time when I read books like Hundred Mile an Hour Dog. There's even the hasty formation of a heavy metal band, 'Hoops of Steel', to perform in the Battle of the Bands, plus a lemonade/ vodka mix-up at the long-anticipated Semi-Formal, or as Razz calls it, the Semi-Normal! But the question is, at the end of the year, will all this be enough? This leads to lots of hilarity, from finding that their volleyball 'Intimidation Factor' Theodore can actually become a giggling blob, to Scobie nearly sinking in a swimming race because he wants to do his bit for the school. ![]() ![]() So I decided to update the list to include these new titles, along with a free printable download with full details of each title to assist in completing your own collection. ![]() ![]() He published Hard Times in 1854, A Tale of Two Cities in 1859 and Great Expectations in 1860.

The story, suddenly conceived and written in a few weeks, is one of the outstanding Christmas stories of modern literature.

I started teaching the course after my colleague and friend Jamon Halvaksz pointed out that in my first book I failed to engage enough work by scholars from Papua New Guinea, (PNG) where I have worked since 1997, and the broader Pacific region. This means that the course moves back and forth between “decolonizing methodology” and “decolonizing theory”. In the course we tend to start with Smith’s work and then use her careful analysis to guide us in taking apart the various traditional methodologies that anthropologists tend to rely on in their research and the various theoretical frames that are of-the-moment within the field. ![]() ![]() This entry is part 11 of 20 in the Decolonizing Anthropology series.įor about a decade I have been teaching a graduate seminar in anthropology at Columbia University called “Decolonizing Methodology” which takes Linda Tuhiwai Smith’s groundbreaking book Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples as its starting point and also draws on other key texts focused on research methodologies specifically (Denzin et. ![]() ![]() ![]() Breakthrough won a 2019 Goldie for Contemporary Romance.

Du Bois was a founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and edited the NAACP's official journal, "Crisis," from 1910 to 1934. The Souls of Black Folk (1903) made his name, in which he urged black Americans to stand up for their educational and economic rights.

Autistic difficulties in reading people and picking up subtle warning signs mean that girls and women are even more vulnerable than their non-autistic counterparts. It is however vital to talk about these differences. ![]() It is not unusual for girls and women to be told that they can’t be autistic because they make eye contact, or that they are too ‘able’ and ‘functioning’. The training of general medical practitioners to spot and diagnose autism is still extremely limited, and for autism in women and girls it has been practically non-existent. In addition, autism has remained within the realms of psychiatry and medicine, which in turn has traditionally been dominated by male professionals. One reason is that autism research and diagnosis – like ADHD in fact – has traditionally centred predominantly around boys. If you are surprised to be reading this article, then you are not alone! While autism is traditionally seen as a male condition, women and girls are autistic too, and are being identified and diagnosed more than at any time in history.
