# Pareas andersonii

Pareas andersonii, also known as Anderson's slug snake, is a small, non-venomous snake found in India (Nagaland), northern Myanmar, and China (Yunnan).

## Description

Mostly dark grey with a bluish sheen, vertical black and white stripes color the dorsum and sides of P. andersonii, but lose their form closer to the posterior end to instead become random speckling.
The top of its head is dark grey with many black spots, lacking a nuchal spot or collar. The sides of its head have dense white mottling, including mostly-white labial scales with black spots around the edges. The ventral part of its head is white or beige with black mottling while the rest of the ventrum white or beige with many black rectangular spots across the ventral shields.

## Behaviour

Like others in Pareas, P. andersonii is a semi-arboreal, nocturnal snake primarily preying upon land snails and slugs.

## Etymology

Named in honor of John Anderson (1833–1900).
# Grind (skateboarding)

In skateboarding, grinds are tricks that involve the skateboarder sliding along a surface, making contact with the trucks of the skateboard. Grinds can be performed on any object narrow enough to fit between wheels and are performed on curbs, rails, the coping of a skate ramp, funboxes, ledges, and a variety of other surfaces.

## History

The move likely originated in backyard pools in the mid 1970s, as the early skaters gained in skill and confidence with their high speed carves around the top of the pool walls and one day unintentionally skated up to the edge of the pool, causing the trucks or board of the skateboard to slide (or grind) along the surface . The trucks of the time, often being merely 'borrowed' trucks from roller skates, didn't allow much contact due to their narrowness, but as skateboarding gained its own truck manufacturers who widened the hanger design, the possibilities for exploration became apparent, and all sorts of moves started popping up . There was a big leap in street skating starting in the 1990s. It has evolved ever since. Today, grinds are commonly performed on handrails, lips of benches, tables, hubbas (ledge on a slope), on a hard normal ledge, a flatbar, or just simply anything that is possible enough to grind on it.

### Property damage

Grinding is damaging to materials which are not hardened for the specific purpose of the sport, as may be found in a skate park. The trucks are composed of a hard metal without lubricant or bearings on the grinding surface, so they literally do grind on the objects they slide across. Grinding can strip paint off of steel and wear down the edges of concrete, stone, aluminum, and wood building materials. Affected business owners and government buildings have put up anti-skate devices as a deterrent to grinding. Grinding in public places may be seen as a form of vandalism and may cause skateboarding to be banned by business owners and city ordinances.

## Back-side or front-side

Whether a grind is back-side (BS) or front-side (FS) depends on how the rider approaches the rail or edge. If the skater approaches the rail with their back to it, the grind is a back-side grind. If the skater approaches the rail with the front of their body to the rail, the grind is a front-side grind.

# Linda Little

Linda Little (born 1959) is an author from Nova Scotia, Canada. Her third work of fiction has been praised as a "darkly beautiful novel".

## Writings

Her first novel, Strong Hollow published in 2001, is a coming-of-age story set in the Maritimes that features a same-sex romance. Quill & Quire praised the rich characters and Little's ability to make them "transcend stereotypes", but criticized Little for "mistrust[ing] the reader to understand the symbolism at the heart of her story".
In 2006 she followed up with Scotch River, which won three Atlantic Book Awards for that year, including the Thomas Head Raddall Award for best adult fiction. Like in her first novel, Little tells a story set in her familiar home of Nova Scotia. The novel tells the story of an Alberta ranch hand who moves to the fictional town of Scotch River. Quill & Quire praised her sympathetic characters and sensuous writing.
Her third novel, Grist, again takes place in the Maritimes but is set in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Published in 2014, it tells the story of Penelope and her slowly disintegrating marriage to a miller. Quill & Quire compared the work to Thomas Hardy and Lucy Maud Montgomery, and praised it as a "darkly beautiful novel".
Little has also published a number of short stories and a children's book, Work and More Work. Kirkus criticized the narration of Work and More Work as "bare" and the story as overly idealized.

## Personal life

She was born and raised in Hawkesbury Ontario, a small town in the Ottawa Valley. She earned her bachelor's degree in History from Queens University, and her Masters from Memorial. She also has a Masters in English from Dalhousie.
Little lives on a hobby farm in River John, Nova Scotia. She helps organize the annual Read by the Sea literary festival in the village, and, since 2005, has taught at the Dalhousie University Agricultural Campus in Truro, Nova Scotia. In 2007 she was the writer-in-residence for the Pictou-Antigonish Regional Library.

# Donna Quinn

Donna Quinn was a Catholic nun and a lifelong feminist activist who was known for her involvement with the National Coalition of American Nuns and association with Women-Church Convergence (W-CC).

## Catholic Statement on Pluralism and Abortion

In 1984 Donna Quinn was one of the Catholic nuns who signed on to the Catholic Statement on Pluralism and Abortion. Maureen Fielder, Barbara Ferraro and Patricia Hussey also signed this statement. The backlash against the nuns for signing this statement was swift and they received significant pressure from the Vatican. In a December 1984 statement, the group pushed back against the leadership of the Catholic church saying, "We believe that this Vatican action is a cause for scandal to Catholics everywhere. It seeks to stifle freedom of speech and public discussion in the Roman Catholic Church." That year Quinn appeared on The Phil Donahue Show. Long after she signed the 1984 statement, Quinn continued to advocate for women's right to abortion. As late as 2009 she served as a clinic escort, helping women access their legal right to abortion care.

## Social justice work

In 1974 Donna Quinn was one of the founders of Chicago Catholic Women an advocacy group for women's rights within the Catholic Church. She also supported women's rights to contraception and called for the pope to support a female archbishop. Quinn was credited in Elle Magazine as an inspiration for young Catholic women. She also belonged to a club with feminist theologian Mary Hunt called "The best and the brightest of the bad girls."

## Women's ordination movement

Quinn was one of the most visible Catholic sisters who supported women's ordination in the Catholic Church. She often spoke out against patriarchy in the church and was unafraid to protest against the Vatican directly. She wrote a book about her involvement with this movement titled, "Chicago Catholic Women: Its Role in Founding the Catholic Women's Movement."

## AIDS activism

She often challenged the patriarchy within the Catholic Church, including when it came to the AIDS crisis. In 1994 she was quoted as saying, "To oppose condoms is immoral and murderous."

## Advocacy for LGBTQ+ issues

Quinn was very public in her support for LGBTQ+ rights. She was quoted as saying, "I want a church that is moral, that is just, that is all-inclusive. I want to say that this is my church." According to theologian Mary Hunt, Quinn spoke out in support of the LGBTQ+ community at a time where few Catholics were willing to do so.

## Personal life

Donna Quinn was born in Wisconsin. She graduated high school in 1955 and was a longtime resident of Chicago and a member of the Dominican order of Catholic nuns. In addition to her work as a feminist activist, she worked a teacher, administrator and admissions director. She died on July 30, 2021, at the age of 84.
