For decades, conservative evangelicals and so-called gender critical feminists have worked hand-in-hand to oppose trans liberation. But how did this alliance come about? What makes it tick? And how can trans people and allies respond? In Gender Heretics, Rebecca Jane Morgan tackles this reactionary alliance head on. With unique insight, she explores how theological arguments snaked their way from anti-trans feminist tracts into the everyday practices of evangelical churches today, and how the unlikely alliance remains strong in spite of seemingly irreconcilable worldviews. Shedding light on the roots of today’s transphobic backlash, she provides crucial tools to overcome it, offering a hopeful way forward by advocating for a full recalibration of evangelical thought on gender identity and trans activism.

Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, diamonds have been lauded as a "glistening" driver of the northern Canadian economy.

Placing this day-to-day labour at the heart of her analysis, Hall shows that it both reproduces the mixed economy and resists the gendered violence of settler colonialism as exemplified by extractive capitalism.

'It's not me then?' she says. A little bit of my heart breaks, and I struggle to swallow down the lump in my throat. 'No Jane, it's not you. You were right.' Why won't he ever let you use his phone?

Here Rebecca not only reveals her clients' fascinating stories, but her own rollercoaster journey too - from early success to crushing failure, scandal, abuse and affairs, and ultimately to finding true love.

In the current trend of increasing globalization, relationships are evolving between global and local realities, rich and poor regions of the world and 'old' and 'new' leisure and tourism patterns. The tourist has become an active agent in their travel expereinces, moving between and among multiple localities, in an environment of transnational, interconnected social networks. In order to understand the modern tourist, concepts of mobility have begun to be applied to tourism studies and have questioned whether the word tourism is any longer sufficient to describe the complex socio-political milieu of people on the move. Bringing together theoretical and practical issues, this edited volume analyses tourism's wider role as an agent for the mobile modern population of the world. Themes range from post-modern youth and independent mobility to theoretical texts on hypermobility and citizenship within global space and mobility, media and citizenship. Offering a thought-provoking examination of modern tourism, this will be an important text for students of tourism and human geography as well as tourism professionals.

Don't believe everything you hear - get the facts about methadone treatment
"Aren't they just getting high at taxpayer's expense?"
"Does methadone really 'eat your bones'?"
"I thought Suboxone meant we wouldn't need methadone anymore "
"Do they have to stay on that stuff forever?"
Methadone is not the "liquid handcuffs"- addiction is the handcuffs- methadone can be the key to those handcuffs, if it is used effectively.
Methadone is one tool in opiate treatment. As with any tool, it can be used or it can be abused. In trying to control opiate addiction, we need every tool we can get.
LEARN-
Mistaken Beliefs of the General Public
One of the most destructive factors in methadone treatment is the disdain conveyed by many of our client's families, health care and social service providers, as well as much of the recovery community.
Misinformation Addicts tell Each Other
Many of the myths about methadone are perpetuated by the clients themselves. Some clients are willing to believe whatever they hear in the parking lot more than from the staff. The clients who use treatment successfully aren't the ones hanging out in the parking lot badmouthing the clinic. They are back at work, and they won't advertise their success, for fear of being shamed about their choice of treatment.
What Doesn't Work in Methadone Treatment
Some things don't work very well-mostly "old school" ideas like shaming, or trying to treat the addiction without treating the psychiatric problems.
What Does Work
There are a lot of effective new ways to help people really change how to deal with "trigger thoughts," and self destructive beliefs about themselves and the world, and how to control uncomfortable emotions like anger, anxiety, and depression. In the last 20 years, we have learned a lot about how to help people change-
Some Hard Decisions
Some problems in addiction treatment have to do with larger cultural issues- many addiction problems start with prescriptions for pain or anxiety. We need to learn, and to teach our kids, that not everything can be fixed by a pill- -
The Future of Opiate Treatment
It won't be just Suboxone, or just methadone, or just Narcan patches. In opiate treatment we will need every tool we can get.
Addiction can't be contained by jail, and it won't be ignored. It will continue to pull down our culture until we acknowledge its power, and grapple with it in realistic and effective ways.

Since the beginning of the twenty-first century, diamonds have been lauded as a "glistening" driver of the northern Canadian economy.

This book is about a hanging of a young black man that came up to Michigan with the Civil war troops and what happened to him in Mason back in 1966, and the young cousins back in 1960 who see his ghost in the front yard by the cannon of the courthouse, and why they see his ghost.
