Janet and Dick Crawford worked together in their small veterinary practice in Wisconsin for thirty years. They raised five children, grew tons of vegetables, marched for Civil Rights, saw a thousand movies, and traveled to more than fifty countries. The year Dick died was the fifty-sixth year of their marriage- a partnership of opposites, and a honeymoon that lasted through both the rough and smooth years. In this memoir, author Janet Jackson Crawford narrates the devastating mental and physical experiences of becoming a widow. She describes her odyssey through the "valley of death" and her methods of recovery and rejuvenation. She tells how she learned to feel her emotions, acknowledge her pain, resolve her loss, and live again. A personal account of the grief and loneliness of surviving the death of a mate, A Widow''s Odyssey offers an idea of what to expect when your lifelong partner dies. Crawford provides insight as well as suggestions to help overcome feelings of helplessness, sadness, and loneliness. This memoir helps those left behind cope as they struggle to overcome the heartbreak.

It was hard writing this book because it brought tears, laughter, and most of all healing. When I was a child, I wanted to be like my mother. I wanted to cook and clean like her. One morning, my whole life change in an instant. Putting on my mother’s clothes and prancing around the house, I wanted to cook just like mama. When I opened the door of the stove, I stuck a stick inside and played with the fire. Somehow, my clothes caught fire. My life just didn’t get any better after that day.

One of a series of workplace education modules, this module includes activities and exercises for teaching communication skills in the workplace. First, introductory material reviews the goals of the module and defines three levels of difficulty of module activities (i.e., beginner, intermediate, and advanced). The importance of communication skills in the workplace is then discussed and issues related to setting up a classroom environment and assessment are addressed. The bulk of the module then presents 76 activities in the following 9 topic areas: (1) the role of perception in the communication process; (2) the importance of listening; (3) expressing ideas clearly; (4) awareness of the effects of positive, negative, and constructive feedback; (5) team communication skills; (6) conflict management or negotiation skills; (7) customer service skills, including considerations related to voice quality, active listening, and problem-solving; (8) presentation skills, including effective public speaking; and (9) intercultural communication skills, including awareness of one''s own and other cultures, nonverbal communication techniques, and language simplification. Each activity includes a description of intended learning goals, the difficulty level, the recommended group size, the time needed, and necessary materials. (HAA).

Thirty-three freshman women students, enrolled in the required physical education classes at the University of Alberta, were tested on weight; girth of the waist, hips, right thigh and right forearm; skinfold thickness of the abdomen, right rear thigh and right forearm; right quadriceps strength; right grip strength; and muscular endurance of the abdominal muscles as measured by the number of sit-ups performed in two minutes. The subjects acted as their own controls. For the six week control period, they were excused from participation in physical education classes. They were tested again at the end of this period. For the following six weeks of the experimental period, the subjects performed two different isometric exercises daily. Six six-second contractions of the muscles of the abdominal, gluteal and thigh regions were held maximally, with the subjects in an erect standing position. Each six-second contraction was alternated by two seconds of rest. One six-second contraction of the muscles of the right hand and forearm was held maximally, with the right hand supinated and clenched and the right elbow flexed at a ninety degree angle and held against the side of the body. At the end of the six week training period, the subjects were again tested on all eleven variables. The data from all three trials were subjected to analysis of variance. If the resulting F ratio for trial differences was found to be non-significant, the null hypothesis was not rejected. If the F ratio for trial differences was statistically significant, the null hypothesis was rejected and Duncan^s New Multiple Range Test was employed to determine between which means the statistically significant mean difference lay. Upon analysis of variance, it was found that no statistically significant mean changes had occurred in the measurements of weight; waist, hip and right forearm girth; rear thigh and forearm skinfolds; or right quadriceps strength. Following analysis of variance and Duncan 9 s New Multiple Range Test, it was found that there had been a mean increase in right thigh girth during the control period of 0.36 inches (statistically significant at the .01 level of confidence). Over the entire twelve weeks of the experiment, mean abdominal skinfold increased 0.99 millimetres (statistically significant at the ,05 level of confidence). During the six week period of isometric training, mean right grip strength increased 1.89 pounds, a change which was statistically significant at the ,05 level of confidence. Following this period, it was found that the mean number of sit-ups performed had increased 3»3su003e indicating an improvement in abdominal muscular endurance that was statistically significant at the .01 level of confidence.
