Development and Implementation of a Parent\u27s Grief Support Group Concurrent with a Preexisting Children\u27s Grief Support Group

Children who grieve need the support and understanding of their parent(s) in order to experience a grief reaction void of negative long-term effects. Parents experiencing grief are often exhausted from their own grief response having little energy to obtain support and information to provide a supportive atmosphere for their children. This study evaluates the efficacy of a parent grief support group in conjunction with a children grief group for ages 6-12 in response to the belief that the parent-child relationship undergoes extreme stress when a death is experienced in the family. A six session psycho-educational parent grief support group was developed and implemented with five parent participants. The study evaluated three main group components, group processing, focus on children\u27s grief, and educational materials. Field notes included observations of group atmosphere, interaction, participation, and overall group analysis. The findings support the efficacy of a parent grief support group in conjunction with a children grief support group with the inclusion of the three main components in the curriculum. The study identifies recommendations for modifications of future parent\u27s grief group curriculum concurrent with children\u27s grief group. Recommendations such as, developing creative screening processes, extending length and number of groups sessions, timing of parent-child activities within the group sessions, and co-facilitation of grief group were identified in the study

Personal Recollections of Dr. H. Hugh Dukes

The first time that I heard of Dr. H. Hugh Dukes was in my undergraduate days in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State lTniversity from 1939-43. The 4th edition of The Physiology of Domestic Animals was used in the physiology courses. Little did I know at that time that Dr. Dukes would become a close personal friend of mine, an example to follow in the profession of veterinary medicine, and a wise counselor in veterinary physiology and allied fields

BILLS AND NOTES-INDORSEMENT IN BLANK FOLLOWED BY SPECIAL INDORSEMENT

Plaintiff purchased a cashier\u27s check from X Bank payable to himself. He indorsed the check in blank and immediately below stamped it, Pay to the order of Bank of America, National Savings and Trust Association, S. & R. Produce Co. Plaintiff then gave the check to one R with whom he had agreed to enter into business under the name of the S. & R. Produce Company. R took the check to Y Bank which at his request blocked out the special indorsement without the knowledge or consent of plaintiff. R then indorsed the check and deposited it to his personal account. X Bank paid the check on presentment. In an action against both banks to recover the amount of the check alleged to have been paid to R wrongfully, held: the status of the check as a bearer instrument from plaintiff\u27s indorsement in blank was unaffected by the subsequent special indorsement; Y Bank therefore took title to it by delivery as a holder in due course, and X Bank was bound to pay on the presentation of Y.

WILLS--CONSTRUCTION-TESTAMENTARY INTENT

In a will drawn for her by a layman, testatrix inserted in her own words a clause reading, It is my belief that 120 acres . . . owned by my deceased husband, John Cagley, subject to a life estate willed to me, be distributed to his four nieces and nephews . . . . In fact, her husband\u27s will had not specifically disposed of the remainder, and testatrix had in addition to the life estate, taken the remainder as residuary devisee. Held, The clause was a valid devise of the property to the four named beneficiaries. Layton v. Tucker, (Iowa, 1946) 23 N.W. (2d) 297

JUDGES-DE FACTO JUDGES

In 1947, the Arkansas legislature created an additional division in the First Chancery Circuit and provided that the office be filled until the next general election by Ruth F. Hale, the then Master of Chancery in that circuit. In Arkansas, divorce is an equitable proceeding, and from the date of her appointment, Chancellor Hale had granted an estimated 1,750 divorces. Defendant appealed a divorce decree granted by Chancellor Hale alleging it to be void. Held, decree vacated. Three judges dissented. Howell v. Howell, (Ark. 1948) 208 S.W. (2d) 22

Mixing with the radiofrequency single-electron transistor

By configuring a radio-frequency single-electron transistor as a mixer, we demonstrate a unique implementation of this device, that achieves good charge sensitivity with large bandwidth about a tunable center frequency. In our implementation we achieve a measurement bandwidth of 16 MHz, with a tunable center frequency from 0 to 1.2 GHz, demonstrated with the transistor operating at 300 mK. Ultimately this device is limited in center frequency by the RC time of the transistor's center island, which for our device is ~ 1.6 GHz, close to the measured value. The measurement bandwidth is determined by the quality factor of the readout tank circuit.Comment: Submitted to APL september 200
