Sharon Lura Edens was born and raised in Southern California to young parents recently from the South. She married George Doubiago two weeks after graduating from Ramona High School; they have two children, Daniel and Shawn. She received her BA and MA degrees in English from California State University, Los Angeles. With the exception of two American Literature classes that taught H.D., Charles Olson, Robert Duncan, William Carlos Williams, Jack Hirschman, the Donald Allen New American Poetry Anthology, etc., she was educated by New Formalists who taught their aesthetic as the only aesthetic. Upon graduation she made the vow never to be a poet.
The vow lasted five years. She dropped out, became an at-home countercultural mother, an anti-war activist and a Joycean scholar—she wrote a book on the Molly Bloom soliloquy (see "Joyce" in The Book of Seeing with One's Own Eyes). In her self-imposed "creative" muteness she became a serious student of the language, the culture, and of nature.
With her children and partner, she lived two years in Plainfield Vermont, home of Goddard College. Near neighbors were Louise Gluck, Rita Mae Brown, Richard Grossinger, Lindy Hough, Lorrie Goldenshon, Ellen Bryant Voight, John Ashbery and other raging poets—Vietnam vets, feminists, back-to-the-landers. There were readings every night; she attended most of them, taking in the many different styles, approaches, attitudes, and aesthetics. Within in a month of returning to California, to the Mendocino Coast, she gave her first poetry reading and began her first published book.
Two weeks after completing Hard Country, inspired by the American and gender themes the work had engaged her in for three years, she embarked on a bus journey with her 15 year old daughter to Macchu Picchu. South America Mi Hija was nominated twice for National Book Award and was named the Best Book of the Year by the LA Weekly. When they returned and her daughter set out on her own, she did too.
She has lived much of her life since in three vans—Roses, Psyche, and Valentine—writing full-time rather than working full-time in order to write part-time. Some of this life is chronicled in the prose stories, El Niño (Lost Roads Press) and The Book of Seeing with One's Eyes (Graywolf Press). The Book of Seeing was named one of The Ten Best Books of 1988 by The Bloomsbury Review. It also received Gloria Steinem's Woman Writer Award, and The Woman Writer Genius Award from The Kentucky Foundation for Women. It won second place in The Oregon Book Award for Fiction (named first place by The Oregonian). The story "Raquel," won first place in Non-Fiction from Writers At Work, and the title story won a Pushcart Prize for fiction. In 2005 The Book of Seeing with One's Own Eyes was selected to the Oregon Culture Heritage list: Literary Oregon, 100 Books, 1800-2000.
In the 1980s she was based in Port Townsend, Washington and active in its powerful literary community—Empty Bowl, Copper Canyon, Graywolf presses, and Centrum—and since has lived in the vital artist Oregon communities of Portland, Newport and Ashland. Currently she lives in San Francisco.
The Husband Arcane. The Arcane of O (Gorda Plate Press), her third published booklength poem, was written out of the crisis she and the country experienced with the murder of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, most likely by the football and actor hero, O.J. Simpson.
Her other major books are the poetry collections Psyche Drives The Coast (for which she won The Oregon Book Award for Poetry) and Body and Soul (which includes her third Pushcart Prize winner). Love on the Streets, Selected and New Poems, was published by the University of Pittsburgh in November 2008.
Memoir, starting with the still unfinished Son, has been an important focus for the past twenty years. Son focuses on the mother-son relationship and her son's life as an athlete; he played five years of professional football. Published chapters received two Oregon Institute of Literary Arts fellowships, Sigma Delta Chi's Sports News Reporting First Place Prize, Tom Robbin's Journalist of the Year Award ("for the most outrageous, risk-taking, life-affirming article published in the Northwest"). My Father's Love, Portrait of the Poet as a Young Girl, 2 volumes, (Summer 2009) is a memoir of her childhood. Her new collection of memoir stories, Why She Loved Him, is circulating.
She's been a Visiting Writer at many colleges and an on-line mentor in Creative Writing for the University of Minnesota's Split Rock: onlinementor@umn.edu . Currently, she's a board member of PENOakland.

THE BULLYING OPF SCHOOL LEADERSHIP BY PARENTS (By Jane Caro in The Saturday Paper Aug.10 2019
Posted on August 12, 2019 by pooroldhenry
St Andrew's Cathedral School principal John Collier.
A father storms into the front office of his daughter's school and begins to shout abuse. He is responding to a text he's just received in which she tells him she is being bullied. He tells the office staff he wants to march to her classroom and "belt" the bully; they refuse to tell him where his daughter is. In the end, he tries to coerce the principal into going outside so they can "sort it out like men".
A father objects to the decision of his daughter's school to veto a sexist and racist slogan she wants on her school sweatshirt. He is so irate that he takes his complaints to the education minister and accuses the school of running a "cult". He also starts an online group devoted to abusing and defaming the staff and principal at his daughter's school.
A female principal disciplines a student for bullying; the student's father belongs to an online group promoting men's rights. The principal and her staff find themselves threatened with bashings – to the extent the Department of Education provides workplace security – while also being trolled and defamed. The head of the P&C is sent abusive text messages.
A female principal is wedged between the door and the doorjamb by an out-of-control father. She has tried to leave the room where he's been shouting abuse at her but he leans his weight on the door and refuses to release her. She ends up with bruises.
I have been hearing a growing unease about the abusive behaviour of parents towards school staff and, particularly, school principals for more than a decade now, backed up by a number of recent studies on principal wellbeing. At the recent New South Wales Secondary School Principals' Annual Conference in June that rumble had become a roar. Every principal I spoke to has experienced similar things to the incidents above, but female principals seem to cop a particularly nasty form of abuse. A male principal told me: "I have witnessed this with female deputy principals. The language of the abuse is different, and it is often more demeaning to them personally." A female principal put it even more bluntly: "Most encounters with abusive parents, male and female, clearly demonstrate absolute sexism. I often say this would not happen if I was a man." Her view is that many people still find it hard to accept female authority. "There is also a sense that if I was a male principal, parents would accept (not agree with) my decisions and take the matter no further, but because I am a woman, they take the matter to my superiors to tell me what to do." Another female principal concurs, giving an example where she was relentlessly patronised by a male parent, addressed as "darling", given orders about having documents to hand when next he rang, and micromanaged to make sure she "got it right".
Most principals seem to agree that this kind of disrespect and out-of-control behaviour is increasing. They put this down to myriad reasons – social media gives angry people the opportunity to unload publicly and parents are more anxious and stressed generally. Other reasons cited by the principals I spoke to are increasing mental health issues in parents, the media encouraging abuse because it creates sensational stories, and a general lack of respect for authority, including school authority. Another experienced principal put it this way: "We are becoming more and more aggressive towards each other in many ways, and the problem manifests itself in schools because we are easily accessible to the community and the work we do is complex. Parents are more frustrated, seeking easier solutions to their own problems, and expecting schools to solve those problems."
"MOST ENCOUNTERS WITH ABUSIVE PARENTS, MALE AND FEMALE, CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE ABSOLUTE SEXISM. I OFTEN SAY THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN IF I WAS A MAN."
St Andrew's Cathedral School principal John Collier wrote a school newsletter about bad parental behaviour last year that went viral. He also put the rise of this poor behaviour down to an increase in parental anxiety and an unrealistic concern about poor marks or an overprotective response when a child is disciplined. He pointed out that he has a duty of care not only to his students but also to his staff. He was surprised at the response, not just in education but across all sorts of sectors, including health and local councils. He wrote the newsletter because, while the number of problem parents in his school was small, he was keen to make sure the numbers did not grow. A case of not all parents being abusive, perhaps, but certainly all principals copping it.
The acting head of the NSW Secondary Principals' Council, Craig Petersen, agrees the increase in aggressive and abusive behaviour from parents is driven by increasing anxiety and "blind support of the child that fails to take into account the reality of normal adolescent immaturity and behaviour". The tragedy of this is that far from protecting their children, such blindness can be very damaging. Dannielle Miller, the chief executive of Enlighten Education, believes that what our teens need is for parents to be the calm among the chaos. "If we go in with all guns blazing, we are only fuelling the flames of their fury," she says. "We need to model how to take a deep breath, and then handle conflict respectfully." Miller cautions that by reacting emotionally parents run the risk of further alienating themselves not just from the school, but also from their own child. "Sometimes when teens vent, they view a situation in quite a heightened way," she argues. "Later, when they have calmed down, they may actually be willing to concede the teacher they were upset with is actually firm – but also fair." Teens will then turn their critical gaze onto their parent for being heavy-handed, she warns. Collier agrees. In his newsletter he pointed out that if the abusive parents asked their kids' opinion of their behaviour, their kids would tell them to "chill".
Another complaint by principals facing an increasing onslaught of parental abuse is how alone and unsupported many of them feel. Principals absorb the brunt of this behaviour because they see it as their duty to do so. "Principals see part of their role as protecting the individual teacher, the staff generally, the students and the school as a whole," said one. "… The personal toll on principals in this respect is massive." They also feel unsupported by school authorities and yet expected as members of a caring profession to respond supportively themselves. "The problem with you lot is you are too nice," said a police officer friend of one principal. "You think you need to take every single nutter seriously. In the police force if someone is a jerk, we tell them they are a jerk." The principal who told me this story was sympathetic to the advice. "While I don't agree with all of his sentiments," the principal said, "I do think our bureaucracy is far too tolerant of nutters."
The consequences of this increase in abusive and threatening behaviour is that an already extraordinarily demanding and complex job becomes even harder and less rewarding. It is already more difficult than it was to attract applicants for principals' positions and if we don't start to have a more honest conversation about this problem, we risk losing many of the excellent principals we already have. A female principal was unequivocal – "I love my job, the school, the students, working in education of our young, but I often think lately that I don't need this garbage in my life. Parental abuse is the thing that will drive me out of the profession into retirement." Another principal was even more sobering about what will happen if we continue to turn a blind eye to this behaviour. "It will set the community standard," she said. What a hostile world that would be.
I asked the principals I interviewed what they thought could help improve the situation. They were unanimous in their desire for more support from educational authorities. One principal suggested that a public awareness campaign about why educators are entitled to courtesy and respect in their workplaces – like everyone else – was needed. Personally, I also think the fact public school principals are gagged by their employers from speaking directly about such issues – the main reason none have been named here – is problematic, as we rarely hear their side of the story. Some principals now distribute guidelines for behaviour to parents as well as students and refuse to interact with anyone who breaks them. Perhaps we need an education ombudsman whose job it is to deal with conflict between parents and school executives before it descends into abuse, threats and – occasionally – actual violence.
While all of these might help to an extent, I find it hard to disagree with Craig Petersen. "We need to look at what we want as a broader community, as a whole society," he says. "At the moment we seem to be using aggression and conflict to solve problems. Is it any wonder we are seeing the same behaviour in our schools?"

"The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth" John 1:14.
"For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake, he became poor, so that you through his poverty we might become rich" II Corinthians 8:9.
The reason that Grand Rapids Christian Middle School exists-beyond providing an excellent education to your children-is to fully incorporate our Christian faith into everything that we do and teach and to impact students' lives for how they use their gifts in and understand their place in building God's Kingdom "on earth as it is in heaven." Similarly, Christmas celebrations without a focus on "Christ"-both the gift of the baby in the manger but also the reality that this very child came to give His life for us-are truly meaningless.
"And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ, all will be made alive!" I Corinthians 15: 17 - 22.
And how could Christ rise from the dead if He did not first come to us as the baby in the manger?
The starting point matters. For both our Christian school and in this Christmas season, who we are in Christ and what we celebrate in His birth, life, death, and resurrection are everything for us. May we and our children never lose focus on our true focus for celebrating and praising God in this Christmas season.

If there's one thing the town of Conwy does well, it's being the host of fantastic events throughout the year. One event which is still a fairly recent addition but has proved to be a popular and much-loved weekend is the Conwy Pirate Weekend.
For those staying in holiday and caravan parks near Llandudno, Conwy is only a short distance away. Even if you haven't taken your car with you on holiday, there are plenty of public transport options which will take you right into the centre of the town.
Returning for its sixth year, the event will be taking place between Saturday the 27th and Monday the 29th of May. During the Pirate Weekend, all visitors are strongly encouraged to arrive in their very best pirate costume – adults very much included!
Last year saw over ten thousand keen pirates descend onto the docks of Conwy, a big number for quite a small town. Throughout the weekend, there were a variety of events, races and food & drink stalls to enjoy. A large pirate band will also be parading up and down the town, providing live entertainment.
The stalls on the quay will be hosted by local businesses, and gives you the chance to sample fresh food and locally-produced drinks. We're sure there will be plenty of rum to go around throughout the weekend!
Each year, a competition is held for the 'Best Dressed Pirates'. If you've got a costume to be proud of, enter the photo booth next to the Smugglers Tavern on the quay to be in with a chance of winning some great prizes. There's different categories depending on your age.
The entire weekend is completely free to attend, but donations (or perhaps dubloons, in this case) are welcomed by the organisers in order to keep the event running for years to come.
The event is a fantastic day out for both adults and children, and is unique to the town of Conwy. If you'll be staying at a caravan park nearby this summer, the Conwy Pirate Weekend is not one to be missed.
Conwy will once again be host to the Pirate Weekend in May. Fun for both children and adults, join in the fun and dress up in your best costume.

History of the Robbinsville Area
Robbinsville Township, Mercer County, New Jersey
Photo: Home at 48 Church Street (built ca. 1909) located in Robbinsville's Windsor Historic District; the District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

Colonial settlement in the Robbinsville area began during the late 17th century, but the human history of the region dates back thousands of years. The earliest inhabitants of the area today known as Robbinsville were the Lenape Indians (called the "Delawares" by the English). These migratory people ranged throughout New Jersey along the banks of the Delaware River and its tributaries, leaving a legacy of stream names throughout the area. For example, Assunpink Creek, the largest waterway in Robbinsville, is Lenape for "rocky place that is watery." Early Native American communities thrived on the area's rich natural resources. The region's creeks and forested uplands provided resources for hunting, fishing, pottery-making, and simple farming.
Although the Lenape Indians were the original inhabitants of the land, by the early 1700s they were almost entirely displaced by European settlers, who received land grants from the East Jersey Board of Proprietors starting around the turn of the 18th century. Quaker and Presbyterian settlers moved into the area by way of Old York Road, an early trail which today forms part of the line between Mercer and Monmouth Counties, as well as the southeast border of Robbinsville. European settlers came in search of religious freedom and to farm the generally flat and very fertile soils of Robbinsville. Numerous streams and rivers provided plentiful opportunities for mills and water transportation.
The first European to establish residence within the eventual boundaries of Robbinsville is believed to be Robert Burnet, a Scottish Quaker who received a 4,000-acre grant stretching across Robbinsville, Allentown and Upper Freehold in 1690, and who settled his tract in 1700. He was followed by Augustine Gordon, another Scottish Quaker. There were soon two main groups of settlers in the area now known as Robbinsville: a group of Presbyterian immigrants from Monmouth County, who settled along Old York Road and attended the Allentown Presbyterian Church, founded in 1720; and a group of Quakers from Nottingham in Burlington County who settled in the western portion of the township.
The Village of Allentown, to the southeast of present-day Robbinsville, developed around the mills of Nathan Allen on Doctor's Creek. The historic mill remains a landmark in Allentown. Allen, son-in-law to Robert Burnet, owned what is now the Wittenborn property, but the current house is probably from a later date.
The earliest hamlets within Robbinsville began to form around this time along Old York Road; these included Sharon (now New Sharon), which included establishments such as the "Inn of the Crooked Billet" (aka Cattail Tavern) and a cider distillery; as well as Cabbagetown, now known as New Canton.
Until its demolition in 2008, the Inn of the Crooked Billet was most likely the oldest structure in Robbinsville. The Inn was privately owned for years and used as a residence. Under private ownership, the residence fell into extreme disrepair. After the owner passed away, Robbinsville purchased the property hoping to find a way to preserve it. Unable to obtain funding to save the residence, the township eventually had to declare the structure unsafe. After documenting the structure through photos, a salvage company was hired to remove and preserve any possible historic elements before the structure was demolished. During the Revolutionary War, Robbinsville's proximity to Trenton and Princeton (both the site of major battles during the winter of 1776‑1777) ensured its contribution to the war's history. Troops moved through the area along Trenton Road (now Robbinsville-Allentown Road) and encamped in the town during 1778.
The area that is now Robbinsville was initially the southernmost tip of Piscataway Township, established by the New Jersey legislature in 1710 to include wide swaths of central New Jersey. By 1724, Piscataway's land south of the Raritan River became New Brunswick Township, and in 1741, the southernmost portion of New Brunswick was chartered as the Township of Windsor, which was further subdivided into East and West Windsor in 1791. After this subdivision, Robbinsville was still a part of East Windsor Township, and would remain so until 1859.
While colonial settlement in present-day Robbinsville was concentrated in the township's southern reaches, the northern portion of the town experienced significant growth after the American Revolution. In 1816, New Jersey funded a stagecoach line between New York and Philadelphia which would mostly follow present-day Route 130, and in 1818 the village of Centreville (now Windsor) was established along the line in an area known as Magrilla. More importantly, in 1830 the Camden and Amboy Railroad was granted a charter to link the Raritan and Delaware Rivers. By 1832, this line ran from Bordentown to Hightstown, and brought some of the nation's first railroad service to Robbinsville, with stops in Robbinsville at the villages of Centreville and Newtown Station.
Commercial service along the Camden and Amboy Railroad in 1833 spurred tremendous growth at its stations. In 1846, Centreville renamed itself Windsor so it could receive its own post office, as there was another Centreville already established in Hunterdon County. At that time, Windsor boasted a hotel, several general stores, a freight depot, and industry such as mills and a brick-making establishment.
Newtown grew as well and a post office was established there in 1844. The post office was named Robbinsville, although the town did not change its name officially. Robbinsville takes its name from George R. Robbins, a popular U.S. congressman from the area. In 1859, the area had grown large enough to constitute its own township, and the legislature established Washington Township from the southern half of East Windsor, effectively creating present- day Robbinsville.3 Washington Township's boundaries remained the same until 1996, when a slight jag was introduced on the border with Hamilton, taking in the entirety of Mercer Mobile Home Park. The current boundary of the township is shown on Figure 2: Robbinsville Township.
The Robbins family farmhouse on Hillcrest Farm dates back to the early 19th century. The Robbins can trace the land back to the 1700s when the King of England indentured about 120 acres, called the Milford Tract, to Moses Robins (as the name was then spelled). The land was bought in 1818 by David Robbins and it is believed that he built the house.
The property has passed through five generations within the Robbins family, the namesake of Robbinsville. In 1850, David Robbins passed the land on to his son, Elisha, who handed it down to his son, Milnor, in 1900. Lester Robbins obtained the land in 1945. Washington Township purchased the house (one of the few surviving brick farmhouses in Mercer County) and approximately 23 acres from Dr. Lester Robbins, Jr. in July 2001. Additional funds came from the Green Acres program and Mercer County. The Delaware and Raritan Greenway was instrumental in helping the township purchase the property.
Washington Township, which officially changed its name to Robbinsville in 2008, remained a mostly agricultural community throughout the late 19th and early 20th century, with much of the land's original forest being cleared for cultivation. Forested areas tended to remain only in the wet marshland along streams such as the Assunpink Creek, Miry Run, Indian Run and Bear Brook.
Reaching a population of 1,294 in 1875, the township was operating six one- room schoolhouses, which operated until the Windsor and Robbinsville Schools were opened in the early years of the 20th century. One of these schools, the former Union School built in 1873, was moved to the municipal complex next to the Senior Center and is now referred to as "the little red schoolhouse" (see photo below).
During the late 19th century, the center of wheat and grain production moved to the Midwest. Farmers in Robbinsville Township largely switched to farming vegetables such as tomatoes, corn, beans, and potatoes.
During the 20th century, perhaps the most significant development in Robbinsville was the transition to a primarily automotive-based transportation system. Route 130 was widened, roads were constructed, and the Windsor rail station shuttered during this time. In 1951, the New Jersey Turnpike (NJT) was built across the farms of southern Robbinsville, although there were no interchanges in the township when it was first constructed. The turnpike was one of the first modern high-speed toll roads in the nation and was a precursor to and eventual part of President Eisenhower's Interstate Highway System.
The rise of the automobile occurred alongside the decline of rail-based transportation. The Camden and Amboy Railroad passed into the hands of other rail companies. Although the railroad continued to carry freight in the 20th century, it has been entirely unused for decades.
Robbinsville also took part in early aviation history. Two airports built in the first half of the 20th century initially served the agricultural community (e.g., crop dusting). The airports also served the U.S. military for paratrooper training, and were also training sites for the Israeli Air force. The Trenton-Robbinsville Airport off Sharon Road continues to serve private aircraft and charter flights.
With the end of World War II and the establishment of the automobile as a primary commuting option, Robbinsville Township began to experience suburban growth. The township began a formal planning initiative with the adoption of its first zoning ordinance in 1949 and a land subdivision ordinance in 1954. By the late 1950s and early 1960s, the township saw its first major developments with the Windswept and Hillside Terrace tracts and the Sharon Road School. However, Robbinsville Township was still far enough from major employment centers that these developments remained isolated in an agricultural landscape for many years. After the construction of I-195 and the interchange with the NJT in the 1970s, Robbinsville Township had much more direct access to New York and Philadelphia, Trenton, and the Jersey Shore.

If it's the end of April, it's time to go to Kentucky. The sport-horse world is poised to descend on the Bluegrass. Thousands of Dansko-clogged, sunburned eventing fans and shoppers traditionally trudge the hills and vales of the Kentucky Horse Park, where the crowd is all part of the show at America's beloved 4-star Rolex Kentucky Three-Day Event from April 26th to the 29th.
Count me among the Dansko-clod, although I think this year we may be switching over to Wellies and we may be wielding umbrellas instead of sun block. We've done that before! You may have to put those waterproof DuBarry boots to the test!
And if you enjoy this blog, you will love the demonstrations being held on Thursday afternoon at Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital. Stop by their booth and they will tell you about the buses that will take you from the Horse Park to the hospital (and back), which is close by.
Hagyard Equine Medical Institute will be hosting live seminars during the event, so stop by their booth to find out the schedule.
Enjoy the spectacle, and if you can't be there, I will have blog reports this weekend.

BACKGROUND: A number of basic research and clinical studies have led to the hypothesis that oral anticoagulants may improve the survival of patients with cancer through an antitumour effect in addition to their antithrombotic effect. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of oral anticoagulation (including vitamin K antagonists and ximelagatran) as an intervention to improve survival of patients with cancer. SEARCH STRATEGY: A comprehensive search for studies of anticoagulation in cancer patients including (1) a January 2007 electronic search of the following databases: Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, EMBASE, ISI the Web of Science; (2) hand search of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (starting with its first volume, 1982) and of the American Society of Hematology (starting with its 2003 issue); (3) checking of references of included studies; and (4) use of "related article" feature in PubMed. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing vitamin K antagonist or ximelagatran to no intervention or placebo in cancer patients without clinical evidence of venous thromboembolism. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Using a standardized data form we extracted data on methodological quality, participants, interventions and outcome of interest that included all cause mortality, symptomatic deep venous thrombosis, symptomatic pulmonary embolism, major bleeding and minor bleeding. MAIN RESULTS: Of 3986 identified citations five RCTs fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Warfarin was the oral anticoagulant in all of these RCTs and it was compared to either placebo or no intervention. The overall methodological quality of these RCTs was acceptable. The effect of warfarin on reduction in mortality was not statistically significant at six months (Relative risk (RR) = 0.96; 95% CI 0.80 to 1.16), at one year (RR = 0.95; 95% CI 0.86 to 1.05) at 2 years (RR = 0.97; 95% CI 0.87 to 1.08) or at five years (RR 0.91; 95% CI 0.83 to 1.01). In the subgroup of patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), warfarin reduced mortality at six months (RR = 0.69; 95% CI 0.50 to 0.96) but not at one year (RR = 0.88; 95% CI 0.77 to 1.01). This six month mortality benefit was statistically significant in the subgroup of extensive SCLC (RR = 0.65; 95% CI 0.45 to 0.93) but not in the subgroup of limited SCLC (RR = 0.68; 95% CI 0.36 to 1.28). One study assessed the effect of warfarin on venous thromboembolism and showed a RR reduction of 85% (p = 0.031). Warfarin increased both major bleeding (RR = 4.24; 95% CI 1.85 to 9.68) and minor bleeding (RR = 3.34; 95% CI 1.66 to 6.74). Warfarin increased the risk of major bleeding (RR 5.46; 95% CI 3.04 to 9.81) and minor bleeding (RR 4.01; 95% CI 1.30 to 12.42) also in patients with SCLC. There was no evidence for a significant reduction in mortality in any other cancer subtype. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: Existing evidence does not suggest a mortality benefit from oral anticoagulation in patients with cancer. In patients with SCLC, the evidence suggests a survival benefit at six months from warfarin particularly when the disease is extensive. The decision for a patient with extensive SCLC to start warfarin for survival benefit should balance that benefit with the downsides of increased bleeding risk in light of patient values for these outcomes.

Making a decision to break up with your partner is not easy. Putting an end to a relationship is never an easy decision to make. No matter how you try to lighten the situation, you will not be able to spare the person from pain. This is reality. There are things that must come to an end. There are things that do not last for long. When breaking up with a person, you must be clear with your reasons. You must avoid leaving the person hanging without any idea why you opted to leave him/ her. What are some good reasons to break up with a person? Check the following list of good reasons to break up with a man.
Infidelity. Discovering that your partner is cheating on you is very painful. It feels like your heart is being stabbed a thousand times, especially if you are very much in love with the person. When you have enough proof that your man is guilty of infidelity, it's already a good ground for breakup.
Violence. If he is physically or emotionally violent, you must step out of the relationship right away. There's no need for you to explain further. Save yourself from further pain. Don't wait for him to get used to hurting you.
Manipulative. Is he domineering in your relationship? Does he try to control everything? If your answer is yes, then you've got a man who is manipulative. It's not healthy to be with a partner like this. You will be suffocated. Everyone needs some space to breathe. Don't let him control your life. You should be the pilot of your own life.
Selfishness. Your man no longer respects your rights and individuality. He wants to run the relationship in his way. He doesn't care about your feelings. He doesn't care about your thoughts.
There you go! Free yourself from the arms of a guy who has these traits and live your life without worries and fears.

When I was a teen, I volunteered at our local hospital. We were called Candy Stripers because the uniforms were pink-striped. This is a very good series, Jose, reminding us of the opportunities out there.
I was also a candy striper, Linda. 🙂 And thank you!
Some folks complain about having nothing to do. Volunteering would be a good idea!

Teenagers being charged adult prices.
In some establishment a teenager will be charged adult prices but they still have to be accompanied by a person over the age of 18.
Is this discrimination of being a teenagers, or are we as parents of teenagers being exploited ?
Most places I've been have a student rate which is mid-way between a child and adult price. What sort of places are you talking about?
Think they should start charging by height. Under a certain height you pay child price, which would the average height of say 12 year olds.
I think that's why they charge adult price for teens, because some teens are the same height as adults. But then some teens are adults.
In Scotland the age of an adult is 16. they pay half fare on public transport here to 15, as well as leisure facilities. The only example I can think of is in a restaurant where a kids menu is often restricted to under 12s - possible because a teenager can eat the bodyweight of an under 12 and doesn't really want to eat the 'chicken nuggets' option - they want proper adult food.

I didn't see other reviewers mention it, but mine came written in Chinese on the main screen. I finally figured out that I needed to go to the "Settings" icon and find "Language" toward the bottom of the screen (and you DO need to scroll down past the original settings screen) to convert it to "English." I then had some clue what the rest of the icons on the screen meant. There are two 2" x 3" sheets of instructions written in English that are your user manual. The rest is written in other languages. None of it mentions the conversion to English.

I just had to have it. My problem was twofold: 1) I couldn't afford it, being just 14 or 15 at the time, and 2) my parents wouldn't allow me to have anything to do with Dungeons & Dragons, probably because it was the '80s and back then there was a straight line from playing D&D to worshipping Satan. At any rate, it was near Christmas, and I figured I had nothing to lose, so I asked my mom if I could get this weird "fantasy book" as a present. She gave me a strange look, then shrugged her shoulders. Apparently it was just D&D that was inextricably tied to the infernal regions — any other book, including one that referenced "Dark Gods" on the back cover, was just fine.
I opened the book on Christmas morning and spent most of the day reading it. It was fascinating, the complex world it detailed, the little hints of adventure ideas and lost civilizations or fallen dwarfholds, Chaos Gods and Gods of Law (!), magic items, detailed bestiary and viscerally bloody combat — all in one book. Most of all, I think, it evoked a vast sense of scale and a living, breathing, pseudo-historical, gritty, messy world and culture that I had never encountered before in a role-playing game.
At the time, I had a regular gaming group made up of neighborhood kids that bounced between Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Palladium Fantasy, Gamma World, Paranoia, and DC Heroes (we even played D&D from time to time, just never at my house). Our gaming schedule was so busy with ongoing campaigns I could never squeeze in more than a scenario or two of WFRP, and it was never very popular with the group ("I die too easy!", "We're too weak!" etc etc). So that wonderful book sat in my closet gathering dust for a while.
Fast forward a year or two, when I could drive myself to Comics Utah, a "local" comic book store about 20 miles away and the only place I knew of that sold role-playing games. On one of my weekly comics runs, I spotted another book in the WFRP line: Death on the Reik. I grabbed it immediately and thumbed through it, again intrigued by the complex adventure ideas and captivated by the absolutely gorgeous interior art (to this day Martin McKenna is my favorite WFRP artist). I had never seen a gaming product that open-ended, where PCs could just mess about on the river and go anywhere they wanted before certain events were triggered and the main plot moved along seamlessly. I thought about it long and hard, but couldn't justify spending what little money I had on a game we weren't actively playing. Reluctantly I put it back on the shelf.
So I learned two things on that phone call: 1) how to properly pronounce "Reik" and 2) the book was still available for purchase! I ran straight out and bought DotR, and while the main rulebook initially drew me into the world it was DotR that cemented my lifelong love of the system and setting. Everything about that product was a work of genius to my teenaged brain, from the warpstone-laden "spittle of Morrslieb" to the foppish Imperial Plenipotentiary in Kemperbad through the down-on-their-luck but still proud and honor-bound band of dwarfs right up to the climax at Castle Wittgenstein. And the art. Oh, the art.
So even though we still were not actively playing WFRP, I later bought every supplement I could off the shelves of that same store before it went out of business sometime in the 90s: Power Behind the Throne, Warhammer City, Something Rotten in Kislev, Empire in Flames, Realm of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness, Death's Dark Shadow, Warhammer Companion and even a few Doomstones. It would be nearly a decade before I was able to track down the original Enemy Within and Shadows Over Bogenhafen pamphlets on a WFRP message board auction site in the late 90s (anybody remember the days prior to eBay?) and then another 5 or 6 years until I could finally get another group together to actually run the campaign. We made it all the way through Death on the Reik before life again got in the way.
Not long after that, Second Edition was released. But that's a story for a different post.

She likes to do things on her own time without letting anyone hurry her about (seriously, she's still deciding whether she wants to walk.) She shares her grandma & aunts love of iced tea. Whether she knows it or not, she's going to be an avid Disney fan. ;o) And, of course, she loves the color pink… especially pink icing! Happy birthday sweet girl. Aunt Kelly loves you to infinity & beyond.

Learning is not a linear process. All children develop differently. They make progress at different speeds, at different times and in different ways. There are periods of rapid progress and others of seemingly slower progress, when consolidation takes place. There may be times when learning plateaus, with children seemingly not making any additional progress. These may be followed by periods of rapid improvement and fast progress. For these reasons it is vitally important that parents and teachers avoid making hasty judgements about how capable a child is – especially early on, in the first years of schooling. Some children take longer than others to develop confidence and achieve success – and that's perfectly normal. They need more time. Conversely, some children get off to a flying start, then their rate of learning slows down. This is also perfectly normal.
At our school teachers do not use the labels 'low ability', 'middle ability' or 'high ability' as these terms can become self-fulfilling prophecies. Put simply, if an adult continually tells a child they are 'low ability' the child is likely to respond accordingly. Instead staff at Barnes use the terms 'high attaining', 'middle attainer' and 'lower attainer' followed by the key phrase 'currently . . . at this time'. Research shows conclusively that all children perform better when their parents and teacher consistently give them the message that they can and will succeed. This message is communicated in what they say, what they do, even how they look at a child. The message is that every child can and will succeed – for some it may take longer, but it is just a matter of time . . . and effort. This approach works as the consistently very high outcomes for all children demonstrate.
The vast majority of learning at our school involves pupils working in mixed attainment pairs. We seek to create a community of learners – one in which everybody learns from everyone else. In this arrangement the less confident are supported by their more confident peers. Organising learning in this way releases the potential for more teachers to emerge, as more confident pupils help to teach their less confident partners. Does this hold up the progress of higher attaining pupils? Not at all! By explaining something to their partner they consolidate and reinforce their own understanding. Are the higher performing pupils suitably challenged within this arrangement? Our pupil outcomes consistently reveal that this is the case.What would you see if you entered a classroom? First of all you would notice a lot of talk and discussion. Pupils would be talking just as much as their teacher. Pupils would usually be working in mixed attainment pairs and frequently these pairs would be of mixed gender. We believe that mixed attainment pairs is the optimum learning arrangement. We don't set children, putting the strongest together and the weakest together, as we believe that this accentuates these differences: the stronger, more confident pupils become stronger still as they work with high attaining peers. Meanwhile the lower attaining pupils struggle. They rely on the teacher as those sitting around them are also finding learning hard.
To be an effective learner children, parents and teachers need to appreciate that making mistakes is a normal part of the learning process. Errors should be welcomed as they are opportunities to learn. Young learners need a trusting, fair and safe environment, at home and at school, so they feel secure in acknowledging that 'I do not know' and are able to accept that making mistakes is okay. It's important that all adults working with a child continually communicate the message that the child can (and will) succeed. Adults must be careful that what is said, how it is said (including facial expression and body language) does not provide any indication that the child is unable to succeed. For some children success comes quickly; for others it takes a considerable time and an enormous amount of effort. Children need to believe that they can succeed . . . and adults need to do all they can to instil this positive self-efficacy. Mistakes need to be seen by all as valuable learning opportunities.

Q: Trying to create a character counter, but my button is not updating the while loop boolean to do so so I am trying to make a small java program to count the number of characters in a given string.
Right now, my code works in the console output, but it is not updating the text field I have created in a JFrame and I am unsure why. Can someone please explain this to me?
BTW: I have set "onPress" to true, so the button doesn't really have an effect right now, I'm just trying to test the functionality of the program before I implement button functionality.
Thank you :)! Here is my code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;

public class characterCounterTwov2 extends JFrame {

static boolean onPress = true;

public characterCounterTwov2(){

    /*******************/
    /* Local Variables */
    /*******************/

    //creates a new Jframe to put our frame objets in
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();

    //creates a text field frame object
    JTextField txtField = new JTextField("Enter your text here", 25);
    //stores the string of the the jtextfield into a variable text
    String text = txtField.getText();

    //creates a text field that is uneditable with the word "characters"
    String charString = "Characters: ";
    JTextField charField = new JTextField(charString, 25);
    charField.setEditable(false);

    //integer to count the characters
    int charCounter = 0;

    //string that will be used in a text field to display the # of chars
    String charCount = Integer.toString(charCounter);

    //Text field that displays charCount
    JTextField charFieldTwo = new JTextField(charCount, 10);

    //calculate button
    JButton calcButton = new JButton("Calculate");
    calcButton.addActionListener(new calcButtonFunc());

    /*******************/
    /*   Frame Setup   */
    /*******************/

    //sets the layout of the frame
    frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

    //add's elements to the frame
    frame.add(txtField, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    frame.add(charField, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    frame.add(charFieldTwo, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    frame.add(calcButton, BorderLayout.EAST);

    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);

    //begin while loop
    //infinite while loop
    System.out.println("Entering main while loop");
    while(true)
    {
        while(onPress == true)
        {
         System.out.println("text length is:" + charCount);
           for(int i = 0; i < text.length(); i++)
            {
             charCounter++;
             System.out.println("Number of characters:" + charCounter);
            }

            //charCount = Integer.toString(charCounter);
            onPress = false;
        }
    }
}

static class calcButtonFunc implements ActionListener
 {
    public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent event)
    {
        onPress = true;
    }
 }

public static void main(String[] args){
    new characterCounterTwov2();
    System.out.println("End of program. Should not get here");
    }
}

~~~~~~~~~
EDIT
I was given a lot of helpful tips by Hovercraft Full of Eels, and cleaned up my code. I am still having a problem with calculating the character count on button press, and having it reflect in the GUI. I am thinking my bug lies within the line "text = txtField.getText();" inside my button listener class.
Here is my updated code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;

public class characterCounterTwov4{
    //creates a new Jframe to put our frame objets in
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();

    //creates a text field frame object
    JTextField txtField = new JTextField(25);

    //stores the string of the the jtextfield into a variable text
    String text = txtField.getText();

    //creates a text field that is uneditable with the word "characters"
    String charString = "Characters: ";
    JTextField charField = new JTextField(charString, 25);

public characterCounterTwov4(){

    charField.setEditable(false);

    //integer to count the characters
    int charCounter = 0;

    //string that will be used in a text field to display the # of chars
    String charCount = Integer.toString(text.length());

    //Text field that displays charCount
    JTextField charFieldTwo = new JTextField(charCount, 10);

    //calculate button
    JButton calcButton = new JButton("Calculate");
    calcButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
        public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent event)
         {
            System.out.println("button pressed");

            //stores the string of the the jtextfield into a variable text
            text = txtField.getText();

            //string that will be used in a text field to display the # of chars
            String charCount = Integer.toString(text.length());

            //Text field that displays charCount
            JTextField charFieldTwo = new JTextField(charCount, 10);
         }
    });

    /*******************/
    /*   Frame Setup   */
    /*******************/

    //sets the layout of the frame
    frame.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

    //add's elements to the frame
    frame.add(txtField, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    frame.add(charField, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    frame.add(charFieldTwo, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    frame.add(calcButton, BorderLayout.EAST);

    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

    frame.pack();
    frame.setVisible(true);
}

public static void main(String[] args){
    new characterCounterTwov4();
    System.out.println("End of program. Should not get here");
}
}

A: Your code is not structured for correct Swing GUI event-driven programming but rather looks like a linear console program that is being shoe-horned into a GUI. Get rid of that while loop, get rid of that static boolean variable. Instead give your class a non-static (instance) int counter variable and a JTextField non-static variable and simply increment your counter in the actionPerformed method and display the results in the JTextField (or JLabel if you prefer).
So the actionPerformed could look something like:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEVent e) {
   counter++; // increment the counter variable
   charCount.setText("Count: " + counter); // display the results
}

and again, counter and charCount are non-static and are declared and initialized in the class, not inside of the constructor or any method.

Edit
Additional notes:

*

*Why does your class extend JFrame when you don't use it as a JFrame?

*In general, it's a good idea to start all Swing proggrams on the Swing Event Dispatch Thread or EDT. This can be done by passing a Runnable with your start-up code in it to the SwingUtilities static method invokeLater(...).

For example:
public static void main(String[] args) {
  SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
     public void run() {
        createAndShowGUI();
     }
  });
}

private static void createAndShowGUI() {
  // create and display your GUI from in here
  MainGui mainGui = new MainGui();

  JFrame mainFrame = new JFrame("Main GUI");
  mainFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
  mainFrame.add(mainGui);
  mainFrame.pack();
  mainFrame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);

  mainFrame.setVisible(true);
}

Edit 2
Oops, I read your requirements wrong. You need to count the chars in a String, and so you will need another class instance JTextField, one to hold the user's String, get rid of the counter instance field since it no longer will be needed, and then in the actionPerformed method, simply get the String from the JTextField, get its length, and display the length in another JTextField or in a JLabel, again your choice.

Edit 3
Your code is now almost there!
Problems:

*

*The charFieldTwo variable is a non-final local variable. To be able to use it in your anonymous inner class, either make it final, and note that doing this won't harm its ability to work since it is a reference variable, not a primite,

*Or you could move its declaration out of the constructor, like you do the other variables.

*Once you've done this, it is easy to call charFieldTwo.setText(charCount); on it at the bottom of your ActionListener, and you're pretty much done.
