 fully appreciated by most commentators, more meshed in the tradition of realist humanism than aware of what Gray calls "the inherently expressionist form" of ballads (1984, p. 16). One example of this misinterpretation is the problem allegedly caused by the fact that Robin, having argued with John and set off on his own, cannot know that John has been seized by the sheriff -- and yet goes straight to rescue him. Child thinks this shows "considerable derangement of the story" (III, 90), and Dobson and Taylor agree (1976, pp. 140-41). Yet this sort of instinctive certainty is just what empowers the hero of romance: he is led to his heroic encounter by fortune and self-confidence. Narrative elisions of this dramatic kind are common enough throughout the ballads -- Sir Patrick Spens being a famous example.
A more striking example of this failure to "read" the genre of the poem lies in the assumption by commentators that there is a substantial sequence missing in the early stanzas. While it is evident that Robin Hood and the Monk has lost a leaf (and so about 48 lines) after line 120, and the Percy Folio has some pages torn in half, there is in fact no need to assume, as rationalists requiring the comfort of a blow-by-blow narrative have done, that there is anything missing between lines 6 and 7 of Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne. Rapid moving the text certainly is -- but then John says in line 13 that sweavens are swift, and the ballads characteristically slip very quickly into their action, often giving the impression that the audiences knew quite well who these people were and what they did, so that fussier introductions would be superfluous; compare the opening of Robin Hood and the Monk, which has a very cursory introduction to the characters; Adam Bell is another case.
In terms of style this ballad is not unlike Robin Hood and the Monk: it has a relatively consistent metrical pattern and a recurrent abcb rhyme (with one six-line stanza, lines 21-27), occasional use of the abab pattern (lines 26-30, 35-38, 43-46, 59-62), and relatively few poor rhymes (lines 6/8, 36/8, 48/50, 88/90, 100/02, 112/14). Compared with Robin Hood and the Potter the language of the ballad is in general sure-footed, lacking the element of line-filler and cliché common to the popular ballad as it develops. This vigorous language emphasizes the effect of the pace and rapid variation of the narrative, the poetic drive which is the central instrument of this fierce and powerful ballad, creating powerfully its dramatic story and deepening the thematic impact of its "mysterious story" (Holt, 1989, p. 30).
In a number of ways it summarizes major themes that are to work strongly in the myth right through to the present. The argument between Little John and Robin that makes them separate leaves them both vulnerable: in this respect the poem is a partner piece to Robin Hood and the Monk. Robin's opponent is a personal enemy, with a vengeful, almost diabolic character, and his humiliation and destruction are an essential part of the story. The whole encounter has elements of natural myth about it, suggested rather than expressed. The final triumph is dependent not only on courage and fidelity among the outlaws but also on some supreme piece of trickery that stamps their spirit as well as their success on the story. This ballad also creates vividly the essential agon versus the villain. In nineteenth-century tradition the name of Sir Guy had just the right ring for a melodramatic villain, but the mixture of menace and mystery borne by Robin Hood's central opponent is originally and splendidly created in this strong ballad, which, by combining a dramatic fight with a bold rescue, remains at the core of the whole myth.Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers that affect women and their families every year. For this reason, it is important to know as much about this disease so you can help yourself or others who may be at risk. In this article, we will go over some interested facts and statistics about breast cancer. Spreading awareness for breast cancer may encourage women to get regular checkups at their doctor, which may end up saving lives.
 One in eight women (about 13%) in the United States will develop breast cancer during the course of their lives. In 2022, there will be an estimated 287,850 new cases diagnosed among women. On average, a woman in the U.S. is diagnosed with breast cancer ever two minutes.
Cancer starts out as a tumor, which is an abnormal growth of body tissue that occurs when cells grow and divide out of control. When breast cancer is malignant, it is invasive and will spread to other areas of the body if left untreated. If invasive breast cancer isn’t successfully removed early on, it can be life threatening. A benign lump in the breast, on the other hand, is neither cancerous nor life-threatening, but it may indicate that invasive cancer will form later in life.
How fatal is breast cancer?
While everyone should take breast cancer seriously, at least 63% of cases are diagnosed at the localized stage, which means that the cancer has not spread to other areas of the body. When it is caught at an early stage, the 5-year survival rate is 99%. This is why it is so important to get regular mammograms at your doctor, so that cancer can be detected before it becomes life-threatening.
While it is rare, men are vulnerable to getting breast cancer too. In 2022, it is estimated that at least 2,700 new cases of breast cancer will be found in men. Of that number, approximately 530 men will die. Breast cancer screening isn’t a recommendation for most men, only those men who have a genetic predisposition to developing cancer in the chest area.
At what age should you screen for breast cancer?
It’s recommended that women of all ages check themselves for breast cancer by feeling for lumps in the breast area. Once a woman hits the age of 40, it’s a good idea to get screened for breast cancer once a year by her physician. Screening by a physician, in addition to self-assessments, can help women detect breast cancer early on.
The good news is that deaths from breast cancer have been declining since the early 1990s due to better screening, early detection, increased awareness, and improved treatment options. In order to show your support and spread awareness, you may try volunteering for a breast cancer organization or participate in a fun run or walk.
1.What is the highlight of your product? The BBrain Family calendar clock supports people with dementia in living independently as long as possible. The clear time indication provides a better sense of time. Relatives and (in)formal caregivers provide support in daily planning and structure by remotely managing the appointments in the agenda. By sending messages and photos to the clock, you involve your loved ones more often in your daily life. Through video calling, there is easy contact with caregivers and valuable attention from family and friends.
2.Why did you participate in the voucher call? We are convinced that the people for whom the product or service is developed, provide the most valuable input for optimization. Therefore, we greatly appreciate test results given by people with dementia and their (in)formal caregivers.
3.What is your most important lesson learnt? Because we received feedback from both people with dementia and their (in)formal caregivers, we have gained insights into how we can improve the user-friendliness of the BBrain Family for both groups.
After a short adjustment phase, I always look directly at it when it makes a sound. So far, I have not missed any appointments.
It is an easy way to make quick contact to my loved ones.
