Loss, Bereavement and Creativity: Meanings and Uses

Within the field of death and bereavement studies, the assumption that loss and bereavement provide the spur to creativity has become so widespread as to assume the status of a conventional wisdom. With this in mind, this article surveys the literature on the topic, extant, and contemporary, revealing its diffuseness as well as the multidisciplinary synergies produced by those working in disparate academic and clinical fields of practice. In so doing, the article explores what it means to be creative in the context of loss and bereavement, the potential for self-development and personal growth offered by creativity and loss, the theoretical premises linking creativity and loss, and the application and challenges for creative therapies in the institutional context of hospice and palliative car

Bulletin No. 376 - Potato Production, Utah 1953: An Economic Analysis

The potato enterprise is important in providing a cash crop and a means of diversifying and intensifying the operations on many of Utah\u27s irrigated farms. It is particularly important in those areas where, because of short growing season or inadequate markets, other intensive crops cannot be produced economically. Potatoes have accounted for around 2.5 percent of the total cash farm income and around 10 percent of the cash farm income from crop sales over the past several years. The gross value of the crop has been between four and five million dollars in 8 of the last 12 years from 1943 to 1954, inclusive. It fell below four million dollars in 1950, 1953, and 1954 and reached a high of 5.5 million dollars in 1952

Returns to Rangelands

Gross value of production from western rangelands average$7.46 per AUM based upon aggregate data from Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and Oregon for 1966-70 and reached about$10 per AUM in 1972. Privately owned lands leased on an acreage basis but with the lease expressed on an AUM basis generally leased at $1.50 to$2 per AUM during 1966-70 and a little over $2 per AUM in 1972. Returns to rangeland estimated from published research by a real estate appraisal approach in which returns are imputed from an income statement were comparable to the lease rates. The imputational procedures in arriving at returns to land and the definition of an AUM should both be standardized for better comparisons among diverse areas or ranching types where animal-size and herd composition vary.This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.

Fees And Charges As Tools Of Public Policy—A Discussion

This is a critique of the address by Charles J. Zwick. Clearly defining the nature of the fee problem is essential. Ranching is part of agriculture, and grazing fees should be considered as part of total agricultural policy. Basic user charge policies are examined and serious questions raised about their application.This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.

The On-Ranch Retained Ownership Decision-- In Periods of Relatively Low Prices Versus Relatively High Prices

The cattle ranching industry is a very dynamic industry. The size of the U.S. cow herd and composition of the herd, ie. Ratio of replacement heifers to older cows and the ratio of heifers to steers slaughtered, is over time and there appears to be a cyclical component to these price movements. The historical pattern has been to have two or three years of relatively high prices, followed by four to six years of relatively low prices

Cost and Returns from Reseeding Plains Ranges in Wyoming

Variable costs of reseeding 64 range sites totaling over 10,000 acres of plains type range in Wyoming averaged $14.26 per acre, and total costs averaged$16.31 per acre at 1972 cost levels. Information obtained from the ranch operators, together with experimental information from various sources and budgeting methods over time, were used to estimate a flow of returns. Investment costs of the reseeding occur immediately, as do costs for deferment. In the third year after reseeding, some beneficial effects are achieved. Full benefits of reseeding, including a higher percentage calf crop and a larger number of heavier yearlings available for sale, are not achieved until the fifth year. Allowing for the lag in response, the rate of return on reseeding Wyoming plains ranges is estimated at approximately 21.5% at 1972 cost and price levels.This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
