No full textIn 1904 Sally's family left Queensland to work in Western Australia. They were on the road for sixteen weeks crossing Alexandria and Brunette Downs stations and on to Stirling Creek. Her sister became ill so they travelled to Newcastle Waters then on to Pine Creek. Sally went to the Pine Creek School until her 15th birthday. Her parents had established a boarding house in Pine Creek and Sally worked there. In 1916 she married William Matthew Jones manager of the Cosmopolitan Battery where Sally kept house and cared for their two children. The mine closed so the family moved to Victoria River Downs Station (VRD) 1920. Sally returned to Pine Creek for their third child in 1921 and in 1924 she was the first patient at the new Wimmera Home Australian Inland Mission Hospital where her fourth child was born. Back to Pine Creek the family moved then Katherine where her fourth child died.
Sally decided she'd had enough of William drinking and not providing for the family so she travelled to Pine Creek and worked at the hotel for a year then on to Darwin and worked at the Victoria Hotel for ten years. Moving again to Pine Creek she was forced to evacuate by train in March 1942 to Alice Springs. In the December she managed to get a pass and returned to Pine Creek where she worked in the requisitioned by the army butcher shop owned by William (Bill) Feeney, in 1951, they married. Sally tended the troop's domestic needs sewing up khaki shorts supplied to the local forces. Her husband passed away in 1964 and Sally moved to Darwin and raised two of her adopted grandchildren until they were adults as well as another ?foster' child. In 1972 she managed to buy her house, which she lived in until the last few months of her life.PioneerDomestic Worke

Is less more? Confirmatory factor analysis of the Attachment Style Questionnaires
No full textFew psychometric studies have confirmed the factor structure of the Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ) (Feeney, Noller, & Hanrahan, 1994), a widely used self-report attachment measure. Moreover, no study has formally investigated the factor structure of the ASQ's short form (ASQ-SF) proposed by Alexander, Feeney, Hohaus, and Noller (2001). The aim of the present study was to validate the factor structures of the ASQ and ASQ-SF, and to identify the more parsimonious measure. In two studies, a nested factor model provided the best fit, the ASQ-SF was the more parsimonious measure, and results were consistent across age and gender groups. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed. © The Author(s), 2010

\u3cem\u3ePersonnel Administrator v. Feeney\u3c/em\u3e: A Policy Decision
No full textIn this casenote the author critically examines the recent decision of Personnel Administrator v. Feeney, in which the Supreme Court of the United States advanced a two-part test to probe for a discriminatory intent behind a facially gender-neutral state law. The author sets this decision in the context of other equal protection cases and concludes that this case reflects a policy decision by the Court not to sustain equal protection challenges to facially gender-neutral laws unless the legislature has unequivocally expressed an invidious intent to discriminate
Data from: Ornamentation is associated with social costs in male red-backed fairywrens (Malurus melanocephalus)
No full textImplant experiment script_pub.R - analyses for the plumage manipulation experiment - testing whether the aggression received by testosterone and control-implanted males differed. Results appear in Table 1 and Figure 1.Natural vs T males script_pub.R - compares aggression received by naturally-molting males and testosterone-implanted males. Results appear in the text.Homerange and molt script_pub.R - compares home range sizes between 1-year-old males of different implant types to naturally ornamented one-year-old males. Results appear in Figure 2.Territory size reduction simulations_pub.R - simulations to test whether reductions in home range size may be a strategy to reduce interactions with neighboring males. Results appear in Figure 3.Sexually-selected ornaments typically confer reproductive benefits, but ornamented and unornamented male phenotypes often co-occur in the same population. Reduced social costs are one potential compensatory benefit of unornamented male phenotypes, but few studies have tested this hypothesis in a natural context. Here we present a field-based experiment testing whether ornamented plumage carries social costs in the red-backed fairywren (Malurus melanocephalus), a small Australian songbird that exhibits delayed but flexible plumage maturation. Only one-quarter of one-year-old male red-backed fairywrens acquire ornamented plumage, but young ornamented males obtain greater reproductive success than young males that retain brown, female-like plumage. We tested whether ornamented plumage is associated with social costs by implanting one-year-old males with testosterone to experimentally induce molt into ornamented plumage, then recorded the resulting social interactions. Testosterone-implanted males developed ornamentation and received more aggression than did control-implanted males without ornamentation, supporting the hypothesis that molt into ornamented plumage is socially costly. Moreover, one-year-old males who paired with a female and naturally acquired ornamented plumage exhibited smaller home ranges than implanted males, suggesting that paired one-year-old males who reduce their home ranges may experience fewer costly interactions with neighbors. Our results add to growing evidence that social costs can enforce the honesty of sexually-selected ornaments.Division of Integrative Organismal Systems: IOS-1353681; Division of Integrative Organismal Systems: IOS-1352885; Division of Integrative Organismal Systems: IRES-1460048; Division of Integrative Organismal Systems: IOS-1354133; Cornell Lab of Ornithology; American Philosophical Society; Sigma XiPeer reviewe
Cancer Narrative with a Difference: Elaine Feeney΄s ‘As You Were’
No full textElaine Feeney ́s novel As You Were offers the story of a terminal cancer patient who forsakes any medical treatment. Narrating the final moments of her protagonist’s life, the author breaks with the traditional cancer novel formula in which a bellicose stance is prescriptive. Instead, the heroine’s stay at a hospital ward with other female patients constitutes Feeney ́s point of departure for writing a state-of-the-nation novel. The article discusses how the merging of different literary traditions, such as cancer narrative, literature of witness, or experimental fiction, allows the author to paint a poignant picture of Irish society, in which women, whose rights were historically curbed, empower each other through telling their life stories as well as reclaiming the life tales of their lost sisters. The analysis focuses on metaphors and narrative strategies that customarily underpin cancer stories and which can be identified in the novel. Secondly, the subversion of the cancer narrative is taken under scrutiny to demonstrate the experimental character of Feeney ́s novel. Subsequently, the ethical dimension of storytelling is given critical attention and the work ’s status as a state-of-the-nation novel is elaborated [email protected] Feldman-Kołodziejuk, Ph.D., is an assistant at the University of Białystok, Poland.
