More likely, Levana was the goddess who oversaw the lifting of the child by the midwife immediately after birth. It is sometimes supposed that Levana was invoked in a ceremony by which the father lifted the child to acknowledge it as his own, but the existence of such a ceremony is based on tenuous evidence and contradicted by Roman law pertaining to legitimacy of birth. Her function may be paralleled by the Greek Artemis Orthia, if interpreted as the Artemis who lifts or raises children. Augustine says that dea Levana is invoked when the child is lifted de terra, from the earth or ground. Levana (from Latin levare, "to lift" ) is an ancient Roman goddess involved in rituals pertaining to childbirth. For other uses, see Levana (disambiguation). Who is her one true love?

One True Loves by Taylor Jenkins Reid Contemporary, Romance Goodreads | Bookshop | Book Depository Harden had 17 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds. The Sixers won last night’s game, 115–103, behind 33 points from Embiid and 30 from Maxey. The Sixers have gone as James Harden has gone, and after Harden and Tyrese Maxey stepped up to complement Embiid last night, Philadelphia has a 3–2 series lead over Boston. It seems obvious, but it hasn’t been that simple during this series with the Celtics. The key to success for the Sixers is simple: When Philadelphia gets significant contributions from someone other than MVP Joel Embiid, victories are a lot easier to come by.

The essay was written during the final stages of World War II while Europe had just witnessed the destructive effects of political movements. A short introduction, based on material supplied by Orwell, preceded the translated abridgements. The article was abridged in the translated versions by omitting details of particular relevance to British readers. The essay was soon translated into French and Dutch, Italian and Finnish (in which the word nationalism was represented by chauvinisme). He specifies that this is not a standard use of the term 'nationalism', but is instead a placeholder for a term that would better characterise this unreflective partisanship. In the essay, Orwell uses the term nationalism to pick out a tendency to think in terms of 'competitive prestige' and argues that it causes people to disregard common sense and become more ignorant towards facts. Political theorist Gregory Claeys insists it is a key source for understanding Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. 'Notes on Nationalism ' is an essay completed in May 1945 by George Orwell and published in the first issue of the British magazine Polemic in October 1945. In 2006, he gained international notoriety when the FBI placed him on its Ten Most Wanted List. Living outside mainstream Mormonism and federal law, Jeffs arranged marriages between under-age girls and middle-aged and elderly members of his congregation. No one in this radical splinter sect of the Mormon Church was more powerful or terrifying than its leader Warren Jeffs-Rachel's father. Born into the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Rachel Jeffs was raised in a strict patriarchal culture defined by subordinate sister wives and men they must obey. In this searing memoir of survival in the spirit of Stolen Innocence, the daughter of Warren Jeffs, the self-proclaimed Prophet of the FLDS Church, takes you deep inside the secretive polygamist Mormon fundamentalist cult run by her family and how she escaped it. With the help of Pippi, we want to support the girls who need it most, while also making their voices heard. Olle Nyman, CEO at Astrid Lindgren AB as well as Astrid Lindgren’s grandson, said: “In a world with ever stronger currents of nationalism and xenophobia, we want to highlight our shared responsibility for all children in demonstrating their strength and potential. The money raised during the “Pippi of Today” campaign will go to Save the Children and support girls on the move. Through limited edition products, events and other initiatives, they are participating to raise money. Many companies from all around the world are joining the international campaign “Pippi of Today,” which takes place in the Nordics, USA, UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands and Switzerland among other places. To commemorate this jubilee, The Astrid Lindgren Company and Save the Children are launching the global campaign “Pippi of Today,” a collaboration to create awareness and raise money for Save the Children’s work for girls on the move. STOCKHOLM (January 14, 2020)- This year marks the 75th anniversary of the first published book about Pippi Longstocking. Media Contact: Number of Girls on the Move at a Record High - Pippi Longstocking Supports Vulnerable but Courageous Group Onuzo’s briskly plotted novel is a rewarding exploration of the limits of idealism and transparency against widespread cynicism and corruption. But action is secondary to atmosphere: Onuzo excels at evoking a stratified city, where society weddings feature ‘ice sculptures as cold as the unmarried belles’ and thugs write tidy receipts for kickbacks extorted from homeless travelers.&rdquo. Quintessential African politics,” thinks one BBC correspondent covering the minister’s story. What to do with the minister, and more important, with his money? Onuzo’s representation of Lagos as “a carnivore of a city that swallowed even bones” is often unromantic, but she also criticizes how the city is represented, or misrepresented, by Westerners: “Scandal, murder, intrigue. There they encounter someone desperately trying to leave Lagos: an education minister who has gone into hiding with $10 million meant for Nigeria’s schools. These characters form a family of sorts as they are welcomed to Lagos coolly, obliged to live in a homeless encampment before settling in an unoccupied house. Seeking refuge in the metropolis for various reasons, several Nigerian travelers group up en route to Lagos, including morally upright army deserter Chike swaggering teenage militant Fineboy well-to-do Oma, who is fleeing her abusive husband and a precocious but traumatized girl, Isoken. debut, Onuzo anatomizes a tumultuous city and its inhabitants, from street hustlers to well-connected government ministers. These early novels often explore a darker, more turbulent vision of life than she presented in the Little Women series. Literary historians now know that she had an earlier, hidden career, in which she had produced a significant number of books, both anonymously or under a pseudonym. It has sold an estimated 10 million copies and been translated into as many as 50 languages.Īlcott went on to write fiction for the rest of her life. Little Women spawned two sequels, stage plays, numerous films, more than 10 TV adaptations, a Broadway musical, and an opera. The warmhearted stories she told in Little Women about the March sisters- Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy-growing up in Civil War–era Massachusetts, made her one of America’s best-selling and best loved authors. Following the publication of Little Women in 1868, Louisa May Alcott was popularly known as the “children’s friend,” a moniker that became the title of the first biography written about her in 1888. Most notably, the novel that catapulted her into the spotlight, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, is a beautiful celebration of queer love, WOC excellence and girlbossery.Īnd yet, I found her past two novels, Daisy Jones & The Six and Malibu Rising, though just as gripping (I finished the latter in roughly two days), to be disappointments in comparison. Anyone who has been within a six-mile radius of bookish social media will know that Taylor Jenkins Reid is lauded for her character stories – sweeping tales about actresses, musicians, models and now athletes.
