25 What thoughts, values and theories underly the Developmental Affirmations?
The underlying value of the Developmental Affirmations springs from the belief that people need to be encouraged to care for themselves and for others.
The theory behind the Developmental Affirmations is that people are more encouraged when they are helped to think clearly for themselves than when they are told what to think by someone else.
The theories of the Developmental Affirmations are grounded in Eric Erickson's concept of psychological developmental stages.
The thoughts underlying the Developmental Affirmations include ways to share them so they offer both permission and support, hence the careful use of "I" and "You" to indicate who is responsible for what.
You can celebrate the gifts you have received and the gifts you have given.
DIGGING DEEPER: more information about underlying thoughts, values and theories.
Background Theories
This question brings us to the giants on whose shoulders we stand. The foundation of this theoretical approach comes from Eric Erickson's work in identifying psychological developmental stages, and for that I am forever grateful. Eric Berne, a student of Eric Erickson, contributed also. Berne's respect for individuals' ability to think for themselves and his dedication to the belief in peoples' inherent okay-ness helped shape the thrust of the Developmental Affirmations. Berne's how-to of analyzing transactions led to the important "You can," and "I will" permission-giving framework of the affirmations. Gene Cohen, also a student of Erickson, contributed to the thinking about adulthood and old age. Currently, Daniel J Livitin's book, "Successful Aging" reports research that supports looking at the aging brain as a growing and invaluable resource for individuals and for the nation.
More names that pop into awareness are Jean Piaget, Abraham Maslow, Daniel Levinson, George Vaillant, Russel Osnes, Rollo May and the Dalai Lama. I am sure many others contributed important pieces of the theoretical puzzle, and I am grateful to each and every person.
Values & Goals
The values that shape the Developmental Affirmations rest on the theory that people are more empowered when they are helped to think clearly for themselves, than if they are told what to think by someone else. The goal of the Developmental Affirmations is to present simple, clear ways to offer ideas, concepts, and permissions in a way that is respectful and does not cause cognitive dissonance, confusion or distress.
Other Theories
Some popular theories about affirmations circle around a belief in empowerment by repetitions. That is, if you just say something enough times, you will come to believe it. Not necessarily true. We have probably all met someone who thinks they are dumb, ugly, or unlovable, but they look really okay to us. But, chances are someone powerful (to them) first ridiculed them in a very emotional way. "You are so dumb! You are ugly. Nobody could love you." Unfortunately, some believed it and embraced it, possibly even to the point of assuming that their life depended on that belief.
These "override" affirmations are designed by another person to counter destructive beliefs. They usually start with "I." The person is told to say, "I am smart and beautiful."
If a person chants, "I am smart and beautiful" five times every night and morning for weeks, that message is supposed to become a new belief. This comes from the brain research that tells us that every time a person says or thinks about something, the brain lays down a small neural track. So, repeat something enough times and you will have a big enough brain track to believe it. It may, in fact, come to feel warm and cozy. However, chances are, when some big stressor occurs, the light blanket of new belief is not strong enough, and the old messages rear their ugly heads, and the person is still not beautiful or smart, and now has failed again. This creates a world of discomfort, resulting in the opposite of the positive effect that was intended.
If, instead, the messages are offered as reminders of possibilities, the person can listen and decide whether it would be in their best interest to accept the new belief. Compare telling a person to say, "I am smart," a directive given by another, with, "I've noticed you have your own kind of smarts; I've seen you …" Not a directive, but an invitation to reconsider an old belief.
"You" and "I" are carefully used to indicate who is responsible for what. The Developmental Affirmations consist of two segments. Reminders: "You can… (do your part)," and support: "I will … (do my part)."
About the Reminder Affirmations: the "You can …" Messages.
The Developmental Affirmations, instead of being directives telling you what to believe or what to think, are reminders of specific inborn human capabilities that we all have that could be helpful at each developmental stage. Persons of faith think of those gifts as God-given. They start with You: "You can …" which is a reminder that you have the potential for that capability.
Here is a Reminder affirmation example from each stage.
The reminder affirmations can help children become more responsible, so they learn to take good care of themselves and others. Adults use them to empower themselves so they can better achieve their own goals and can strengthen their contributions to their families and the community.
About the Support Affirmations: "I do …" or the "I will …" messages.
The Developmental Affirmations also offer support for growth in two ways. First, the nine "love affirmations" offer emotional backing in the form of assurances of support.
Second, many of the Developmental Affirmations offer direct support, such as for the Being stage: "I love you and care for you willingly;" "It's ok for you to be angry, and I won't let you hurt yourself or others." Or implied support, such as for the Doing stage: "I like to watch you initiate and grow and learn."
These are the thoughts, values, and theories that I recognize. Of course, there may be other values and beliefs so deeply held that I take them for granted and have missed claiming them. If you find some, please let me know.

Erasmus grants are intended to improve the quality and strengthen the European dimension of higher education, by encouraging transnational cooperation between universities, boosting mobility in Europe and improving the transparency and full academic recognition of studies in the Member States.
management tasks arising from the programme require a high level of professionalism only payable managers as part of the structure of the Office of international relations.
however, the European Commission, through the Erasmus national agency, provides for the granting of aid whose purpose is precisely the organisation of mobility for the programme, aid which, in part, can be allocated to award scholarships to students willing to carry out an activity both formative and informative, collaborating in the entire grants management process, attending consultations formulate you those interested in participating in the program and participating in the reception and sending of fellows.
therefore, the Rectorate of the University of Seville has resolved to make public a 6 scholarships call for support at the reception and displacement of Erasmus students in the University of Seville.
in this way, the University of Seville, through the International Centre, offers two grants for support in the reception and displacement of Erasmus students, working on of information and advice and respond to correspondence that generate such students; and four grants to support the reception and displacement of Erasmus students, making workings of search for accommodation and care of the correspondence generated by such activity.
will participate in this call those students enrolled in any degree of the University of Seville who have knowledge to level written and spoken English and a second language of the European Union, exclusion made from the Spanish and other official languages of the Spanish State, and knowledge to level spoken English for students who choose to option c), although other languages may be taken into account.
applications must be completed on-line, following the procedure described at the following address: www.internacional.us.es, until June 20, 2012.
candidates selected as fellows to support the reception and displacement of Erasmus students form must be submitted on September 5 in the unit of international mobility, where they will receive precise instructions on the development of the activity for which they were appointed.

Eircom to launch line upgrade scheme
Eircom is to launch an initiative to boost the number of lines that can be broadband-enabled per telephone exchange. Currently, even if an exchange is broadband-enabled, up to 22pc of the individual lines from that exchange are unfit to carry broadband.
From 27 May, any Eircom customer who is linked to a broadband-enabled exchange will be guaranteed a service so long as they place an order. The two exceptions will be customers who live too far from the exchange to receive broadband – the current limit for DSL coverage is 4.5km from an exchange – and those whose lines have been split to carry other operators.
Speaking to siliconrepublic.com, David McRedmond, commercial director of Eircom, said the initiative would allow the percentage of broadband-ready lines to be increased from 78pc to 90pc. "We're calling it the amber programme. Currently customers are given either a green light – yes they can receive broadband or a red light to say no they can't. Now we're saying to them that they'll qualify on the basis of a firm order."
McRedmond added that getting up to 100pc was not realistic, given the physical limits of DSL technology, which meant that 4pc-5pc of lines from an exchange cannot receive broadband. On the line-splitting issue, he said that this was a problem that only ComReg could solve because currently Eircom has no economic incentive to replace the split line. "We need to find some regulatory solution to that. I'd like to see the regulator find some way to recognise the cost of removing those barriers, for example by reflecting it in the local loop unbundling price."
On the wider issue of service availability, McRedmond argued that the Government's own planning policies in relation to rural housing make it harder for it to achieve its broadband goals because one-off rural housing costs a lot more to provide with telecommunications and other services. He said that designating telecoms as an essential service in the way water and electricity is would help ease this problem.
"When you apply for planning permission it has to take into account the provision of services. If telecoms were designated as an essential service, it would have to be taken into account in planning applications and it would make it easier for [Eircom] to provide a service."
He added that Eircom had lobbied both ComReg and the Department of Communications for such a change in designation, most recently at last Friday's broadband conference in Galway.

Sweep those winter cobwebs away, and give your house a deep spring clean. Make way for the fun months of spring and summer by getting your house tidy and in top shape. Over winter we gather up a lot of clutter, with extra blankets lying around and stacks of magazines that you read which you collected when it was too cold to step outside. Embrace the spring fever, and cleanse your house of all that is unnecessary. It may seem like a mammoth task tidying the house. Here is a spring-cleaning guide with plenty of useful tips to help you on your way.
Spring is all about tidying up the place, and that includes your wardrobe. It's time to get rid of all those unwanted tops, dresses, shoes etc. If you have your wardrobe in good shape, the rest of the house will be easier to handle. Sort through what clothes you wear and what clothes you don't. Anything that you decide you don't need anymore, give to a charity shop. This will allow you to tick of your good did of the day, and clearing out your closest of your daily list. Make your morning routine easy by organizing clothes by colour. By assorting your clothes you'll be able to find exactly what you need. This will help clear your mind and make your closet look far more appealing.
Give your home a makeover with new interior additions to help transform the mood. It's good to stir things up when you've had the same interior for a while. Simple adjustments such as new cushion covers or lampshades will make a huge different to a room. Try out new patterns and colours to give your home a fresh spring makeover.
Spring is a beautiful time of year with flowers blossoming, new life forming and the skies getting brighter. You don't want to miss the beauty of it all stuck behind dirty windows. Make your windows clear and sparkly so you can admire nature from the comfort of your home.
Windowsills are the place to start. Hoover or sweep with a dustpan and brush up any dust or dirt. Then, wipe with a warm damp cloth to remove any stains and further residue. Once the windowsills are gleaming with joy, work from the top to bottom on the glass with an eco-friendly spray. Using a damp cloth with the spray clear the window of any dust. Afterwards, buff with a scrunched up newspaper. If you use a dry cloth you may get left over fluff on your windows, which defeats the point of cleaning it in the first place.
When you're ready to pop on your lighter spring duvet, make sure you wash your winter one. This may seem like a tedious chore, especially if you're home washing machine isn't big enough to accommodate the duvet. Take your winter duvet down to the launderette for a thorough clean. You'll be grateful when it comes to next winter and you're already a head of the game! A good trick to keeping the duvet moth free is by storing it in a hoover bag. This will also stop any dust or damp from damaging the duvet.
When it comes to cleaning stains off painted walls, it can seem like a tricky task, as the service isn't smooth, making the cleaning product uneasy to spread. Avoid any bleach or ordinary surface cleaner, and attack the stain with a simple combination of sponge and water. If the stain doesn't budge add a mild washing up liquid to your water bowl and carry on applying it with the sponge. Once you have made the stain disappear, rinse the wall with plain water to avoid the paint softening due to the additional washing up liquid.
Sticky stains may seem like a nightmare to remove from oak furniture, but there are some tricks of the trade to solve this issue. Apply a damp cloth to the sticky residue first to dampen the area. Then mix up a solution of white wine vinegar and water. The acidic quality of the vinegar will help rid the oak furniture of the sticky residue. After you've applied your solution, wipe the stain away with a soft cloth. When there is no stain in sight, help protect the wood from water and further stains by applying a coat of wood wax.

"Pair of Solid Silver Dice (925 Silver)"
I am writing to enquire about the following item which I saw on the John bull Antiques website: "Pair of Solid Silver Dice (925 Silver)"
A pair of Sterling Silver Dice. A unique and luxurious gift for anyone - especially a keen board game player. These dice are hallmarked silver with black dots.


Our main aim at Cardiff Self Storage is to exceed our customers expectations. Doing so has allowed us to build an extremely reliable customer base over the years; our current customers range from domestic to reputable commercial businesses. Please see the below testimonials to read what some of our customers have to say about us.
I have had the pleasure to be a private and commercial customer of Cardiff self storage for the past twenty years.
I have always found them to be polite, professional and extremely helpful.
The office staff have remained in service for large period's of time. One or two of them have been there longer than me!
This is great testament to a company and shows in no uncertain terms how good they are to work with.
Security on the site is nothing more than incredible!
The long term staff and the security manager, again with more than twenty plus year's service, are second to none.
They are always welcoming, polite and knowledgeable. Many of the security staff are trained ex service men, and it shows!
In more than twenty years, I have never had a security issue or indeed, heard of one.
They are a solid uniformed unit.
I would highly recommend Cardiff self storage, ten out of ten for me.
I have used Cardiff Self Storage for over 6 years, for both vehicle storage, and container storage. During that time I have nothing but praise for the staff who have done everything I have ever requested of them, and they have ensured, that despite them guarding my livelihood, I have always felt secure, and never felt any concerns in entrusting them with my possessions.
We have been caravanning for 20+ years and for all this time we have stored our caravan in Cardiff Self Storage. The security is excellent, you are issued with a security card and fob. The fob is used to enter as well as a security guard check, on leaving you produce your card which is checked against your caravan CRIS number. Dog handlers also patrol the site. To us it is well worth the cost for peace of mind.
The staff are always helpful and friendly. We have recommended the storage facilities to friends and they too use this facility. We will continue to store at Cardiff Self Storage as long as we carry on caravanning.
We have stored our caravans at Wentloog virtually since the facility opened. In all that time we have been most impressed by the level of security, access and facilities. The caravan wash is much appreciated! We have had no problems whatever and have been able to gain access whenever we needed. Because of the standards of the site we have been able to obtain a Secure Storage discount on our Caravan Club insurance. We have found all the staff to be most helpful and courteous at all times.

I was recently contacted by reader David Severs who used to be the sergeant at Helmsley Police Station when Dad was village bobby of Oswaldkirk in the 1960s. Towards the end of my dad's police career when he was press officer in the early 1980s, they also had adjacent offices at force headquarters in Newby Wiske Hall.
David writes: "I told him that I had seen an Oxford philosophy examination paper in which the first question was 'Do birds enjoy singing?'"
He goes on to explain that Dad used this question as a topic for a subsequent column, and so I decided to see if I could find the column in question in his archives. With the help of my team of detectives (my mum and brother) we came across a piece Dad wrote in 2008 on the very subject. It might not be the original column, but nevertheless discusses this topic.
Dad writes: 'If we think carefully about that query, it is almost impossible to answer because the first question must surely be: What constitutes bird song? And secondly, why do they sing?'
He states that we think of bird song as something musical and melodic, so therefore does the squawking of a herring gull count? Or what about the repetitive call of a cuckoo? Is the quack of a duck or the honk of a goose bird song?
Dad explains that birds sing for specific reasons, such as to attract a mate, to warn of the presence of predators, or to indicate where its territory may be. In other words, it is a tool of communication, so to know if they enjoy it is hard to judge. It's a bit like asking us humans if we enjoy the act of talking (of course, we could all name at least one person we know who loves the sound of their own voice).
However, according to one study which was featured in The Times newspaper, there is now scientific proof that at times, birds do actually sing just for the love of it. And it is that which prompted Mr Severs to get in touch, as when he read it, it reminded him of his previous conversations with my dad.
The article was prompted by research on starlings that seemed to prove that although singing was a means of communication, there were also occasions where the birds sang just for the pleasure of it. This was termed 'gregarious' singing.
Biologist Professor Lauren Riters from the University of Wisconsin-Madison explains that the birds practice the notes in the songs: 'They try out different songs, they order and reorder and repeat some sequences, they add and drop notes. It sounds a bit like free-form jazz and it's quite distinct from the structured songs that male songbirds produce when trying to attract mates.'
She goes on to explain that when they sing in this way their brains produce opioids, chemicals which are known for inducing pleasure and reducing pain (the same as are found in the addictive drugs heroin, morphine and fentanyl).
Professor Riters' team fed the birds low doses of fentanyl, and sure enough, this triggered high rates of 'gregarious' singing. They were also able to switch off the opioid receptors in the birds' brains, and after this, the birds sang less.
When lockdown was at its height and there were very few vehicles on our roads, I really noticed the bird song around me. I liked to think that our feathered friends were thoroughly enjoying an environment free from polluting exhaust fumes, or was it simply the lack of traffic noise that meant that I was more able to hear them?
There are some very tall poplar trees in my neighbour's garden, and I often see groups of starlings gathered in the highest branches, singing at the tops of their beaks, and they very much look like they are enjoying themselves. And similarly, on my dog walks, there is a particular hedgerow which is favoured by dozens of sparrows. If they don't notice you coming, they all cheep excitedly and noisily among themselves. As soon as you stop to listen though, they go quiet. It reminds me of a school assembly hall full of noisy children before the head teacher signals for hush.
But are these sparrows singing for fun, or is their noise about something else? I wish I could ask them!

2 thoughts on "Going for a song"
Penny Mason says:
What a fascinating question. Can't believe I never wondered if birds sing for their own joy. The starling looks exactly like the starlings we have here in Ohio, USA.
I understand they emigrated with our British ancestors along with house sparrows. Starling produce such a wide range of sounds. I think they're fascinating in spite of the fact some say they sound like squeaky gate hinges.
Oh, if traffic could always be nearly non-existant. That was a perk of the frightening days of shutdowns.
Though the road I live on leads to state parks, a destination when there was no other place for recreation. So the city streets were quiet, our site not so.
The Countryman's Daughter says:
Thanks for taking the time to read and comment Penny! Very interesting to hear your experiences from across the pond. I have a new-found respect for the much-maligned starling! Unfortunately our roads are extremely busy again now so the birdsong is more difficult to hear. By the way, you might be interested to know I started a Facebook group in lockdown called Picture That Walk for people to share pictures of their walks and bike rides. We now have members from all over the world, but not yet anyone from Ohio! I've seen your lovely pictures so do take a look at the group as I'd love to have you as a member so others can see your wonderful pictures.

MariaDB 10.2 Beta
Posted on October 3, 2016 by Rasmus Johansson
With the release of MariaDB 10.2.2, the newest version of MariaDB has entered the beta stage. In this article, I'll give an overview of the main new features in MariaDB 10.2. The focus of MariaDB 10.2 can be seen from the categories that the features fall into:
Lifted limitations
Analytics – Window functions
Window functions are popular in Business Intelligence where there's a desire to, for example, in a report table, include on every row, a calculation based on the other rows that compare a value of the current row with the other rows. MariaDB's implementation now support all generally used Window Functions from the SQL standards.https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/window-functions/
Analytics – CTE
A typical query in many aspects that has needed some tricks before is to do a hierarchical query to fetch a parent and all its children in a tree like structure that could be for example the categories and subcategories (and their subcategories and so on) of a product catalog. This is now possible to do in a single query by making use of the recursive Common Table Expression WITH RECURSIVE. Both the standard non-recursive and recursive expressions are supported.
Limits can now be set on user accounts for how many queries, updates or connections can be made for a specific user account per hour. Also SSL/TLS encryption options have been introduced for users, permitting only encrypted connections for a user, that the user make use of a certificate with certain specifics (issuer, subject) that can be set and that a specific cipher is used for encryption.https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/create-user/
MariaDB 10.2 introduces two new statements for user management as well. ALTER USER is used to, of course, change any settings on the user, like required authentication type or limitations on amount of queries per hour. SHOW CREATE USER logically shows the CREATE statement that would create the user you're referring to.
Consistency – CHECK constraints, DEFAULT
A long lasting wish from users are met in MariaDB 10.2 where it's finally possible to make use of CHECK constraints. With CHECK constraints you can put a condition on every value in a row to meet a certain criteria, for example that a column only permits values that are non-negative or that the value of one column has to be smaller than another column's value.
MariaDB 10.2 supports the use of functions and expressions in the DEFAULT constraint of a column. Also, BLOB and TEXT columns can now have DEFAULT values. See CREATE TABLE for more information.
There are several things that add to improved performance, like the new InnoDB engine and optimizer changes, but there are also internal server changes that give a nice boost to the overall performance of the database server:
The creation of new connections inside the server has been modified so that the creation is much faster than before. When there are plenty of connection threads in the server, we've measured a significant speedup.
Temporary tables for InnoDB can be put in a separate location, which allows for using separate storage for them.
Storage Engines – InnoDB, CONNECT
InnoDB from MySQL 5.7 is included in MariaDB 10.2 and it has been merged with all MariaDB specific functionality like MariaDB's encryption, compression, defragmentation. Also, Galera, the clustering technology is integrated with InnoDB.
MariaDB includes a storage engine for data integration called the CONNECT engine. With the CONNECT engine, it's possible to connect to remote data sources and expose them as tables inside MariaDB. Together with MariaDB 10.2, a new JDBC table type has been introduced. It allows it to connect to other data sources, for example other databases over JDBC. The CONNECT engine with this feature is also available in MariaDB 10.0 and 10.1.
Some applications (especially financial ones) require more decimals than 30, which has been the limit so far in MariaDB. This limit has been raised to 38.
In MariaDB 10.2 the expression of Virtual Columns can be longer than 252 characters and the expressions can include other virtual columns. Also user defined functions are now supported in the expression.
VIEWs can now include subqueries in the FROM clause.
The same temporary tables can be used several times in a query. This has been a long lasting limitation in MariaDB and MySQL.
ANALYZE TABLE used to lock the whole table when analysing key distribution. Locking of the table is not needed anymore.
Other useful enhancements
libmysqlclient has been removed from the server. It has been replaced by MariaDB's own Connector/C.
INFORMATION_SCHEMA includes USER_VARIABLES which lists all user defined variables.
EXPLAIN FORMAT=JSON has been expanded to include the used sort_key in filesort and outer_ref_condition in SELECTs.
Analytical query performance improvement – If a derived table, view or CTE includes a GROUP BY clause it would be internally processed with temporary tables, which would then be materialized and used by the parent query. If the parent query has restrictions on the GROUP BY columns, this new optimization applies them early to exclude non-matching groups from materialization.

Instagram is a platform which is mostly associated with selfies, workout clips and photos of your dinner. It's a shame, as it can be so much more. By its visual nature, it's an ideal platform for sharing examples of and ideas about art. I use Instagram to find and follow artists from all around the work whose art I find interesting, and one of my early discoveries was Liverpool artist Cherie Grist. Based at 104 Duke Street Studios, the flashes of extremely bright colour and bold, geometric shapes which she teases on her account intrigued me.
At this solo exhibition, I was interested to find out what the meaning behind the style was. In her introductory notes to "People", Grist states that these paintings are about "people and their behaviour". How would this be translated by the colours and forms I'd seen on the internet?
Perfectly, it turns out. Grist's artwork is deep, emotionally charged, and stylistically and emotionally right up my street.
Her work reminds me of Kandinsky: colourful, bold shapes which have a strong emotional impact. But she's brought the idea right up-to-date, and her canvases feel more personal. Indeed, I found myself thinking of each canvas as an individual, putting their emotions on public display.
How so? Well, the titles have a lot to do with it. You get a sense of what each piece is about just by looking at it, but the titles help the final pieces fall into place. For example, the zig-zags and pointed imagery of one painting was making me feel particularly uncomfortable. Then I saw that it was called "Ranking", and this made complete sense. Who hasn't felt the sharp anxiety, the highs and lows, of being judged?
"Ranking", Cherie Grist. Much bigger (and better) in real life.
And whilst they are all based on abstract forms and a similar colour palette, each painting very much has its own mood. "The Mind" is calm and ordered, "Reflection" as messy as I feel some days, "Own You" clearly focused on the material. And they each tackle their subject matter with admirable depth. Just as a person cannot be defined simplistically, each painting has so much for you to consider in its composition. When I left, I felt like I hadn't even begun to scratch the surface of what each one was about.
To give a context to her ideas, Grist has also assembled cases of – well, all sorts. Quotes, images from magazines, her own poetry. It gives you an idea not only of where her style comes from, but also very much her intention. Reading her words, I noticed that phrases to the effect of "just be me" appear again and again. These paintings are her ultimate self-expression – and our minds are complicated places. A myriad of experiences and emotions go into shaping our thoughts. In the same way, Grist puts these experiences and emotions onto the canvas. It's up to us to let the diverse elements come together to create their emotional impression.
Any fears I had about this exhibition revealing that there was nothing behind the surface were entirely dispelled. Their attractiveness is like a hook, pulling you in, encouraging you to discover the world within the canvas. Huyton Gallery is located within Huyton Library, and seems to keep slightly inconvenient opening hours. But if I can get time, I'm sure I'll be going back.

Idaho Counties' Economic Fate Tied To Industry
By Molly Messick
Published July 30, 2012 at 4:00 AM EDT
LINDA WERTHEIMER, HOST:
Here in the United States, we're used to hearing about the differences between state economies - Mississippi, different from Minnesota, different from Montana. But there can also be big variations from one county to another, even in a rural state like Idaho. There, timber and agriculture are heavy hitters, tied to the state's history and identity.
Reporter Molly Messick has this story about two counties, two industries, and two economic fates.
MOLLY MESSICK, BYLINE: Rancher Chris Black and his son, Justin, manage a thousand head of cattle on 135,000 acres in the foothills of southwest Idaho's Owyhee Mountains. They spend most of their time miles apart - miles from anyone, in fact - working cattle. But this day is different.
(SOUNDBITE OF WALKING)
CHRIS BLACK: Are you going to catch a horse? Are you going to help?
JUSTIN BLACK: Do you want me to?
BLACK: If you would like...
MESSICK: They've just walked to the corral not far from the small solar and propane-fuelled house where Chris Black lives on and off from April through November.
BLACK: Are you going to ride Traveler or Happy?
MESSICK: They run to catch and saddle up the horses so they can move a group of cattle, grazing miles away.
Chris Black was up before daylight, and now the sun blazes overhead. Ranching is hard work and not for everyone, but lately business has been good. Cattle prices are up. That means Black can breathe easy, and put money into his operation.
BLACK: For instance, I bought a new tractor. My tractors were really old and in poor shape and the older one was a '70s model.
MESSICK: Farming and ranching are known for their hard luck and slim profit margins, but high commodity prices have lifted the farm economy. Most Idaho counties associated with agriculture have seen their unemployment rates remain low.
Take Owyhee County, where Chris Black's family has ranched for generations, here, unemployment has seldom crept above 6 percent since the downturn began.
(SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "TIGER BY THE TAIL")
BUCK OWENS: (Singing) I got a tiger by the tail...
MESSICK: Four hours north, in Adams County, the story is different. The appliance store in Council broadcasts a steady stream of old country hits onto the main street. But the town's reality is less cheerful than its soundtrack. In this county, unemployment has soared from pre-recession lows of 3 and 4 percent to more than 19 percent last fall. That's one reason I reached out to Mark Mahon, a fourth generation logger, born and raised in Council.
MARK MAHON: So do you know what loggers call our work pick-ups?
MESSICK: No.
MAHON: Crummies, because they're crummy.
MESSICK: He drives to a nearby logging site. Owyhee County is known for its vast acres of grazing land. But here in Adams County, timber is the legacy industry. Along with his parents and brother, Mahon runs a logging company with 14 full-time employees. They have one of the largest private payrolls in the area. But this is an anxious moment for their business.
MAHON: Our company is stable. We've got good equipment and good employees, and they've been with us for a long time. But I'm constantly stressed and worried about work. Right now, we don't have enough work to finish this logging season.
MESSICK: It's the end of a long day. Mahon sits on the ground, surrounded by tall Douglas Fir and Ponderosa Pine. The air is sharp with the smell of freshly cut timber. Mahon's company was hired to manage and thin this forest. It's one of four contracts they have right now. They need to line up more.
MAHON: The biggest concern I have is the men that work for us. Am I going to be able to provide the jobs for them so that they can support their families? And if I can't provide for them, that's almost like I've failed.
MESSICK: Failed not only those workers, but also his town.
In rural places like this, every job counts. The meltdown in the housing market is the most immediate problem for loggers like Mahon. Fewer homes being built means less demand for lumber. But the housing downturn caps a long period of contraction for Idaho's timber industry.
Jay O'Laughlin directs the policy analysis group at the University of Idaho's College of Natural Resources.
JAY O'LAUGHLIN: During the 1980s, the forest products industry in Idaho was twice as big as it is now.
MESSICK: It's not easy to pinpoint the defining differences between agriculture and the timber industry that contribute to the differing economic fates of Idaho's rural areas. But land ownership is a big factor. Idaho's agricultural production happens mainly on private land. O'Laughlin explains most of the state's timber land is public.
O'LAUGHLIN: Seventy-five percent of the timber resources in the state of Idaho are on federal lands, and that's an entirely different situation than agriculture, with the one exception of grazing.
MESSICK: National Forests used to provide at least half of Idaho's timber harvest. Today, they provide less than 10 percent. Ranchers haven't faced the same constraints. Mark Mahon knows he can't change the big trends in the timber industry. His focus is on keeping the job he loves.
MAHON: Some of the greatest things about logging is that every day you get a picnic lunch. You get a moonlight ride and a picnic lunch. I wouldn't trade that for anything.
MESSICK: He wouldn't trade it, and he hopes he never has to.

The Florence Institute is the earliest remaining building in Britain to be constructed as a boys recreational youth club.
Purcell restored the unoccupied building after it was damaged by arson some years ago. We initially investigated the impact of various uses and levels of intervention on the building structure, context and the local environment to inform multiple funding and planning applications.
Much of the damaged structure was preserved and the building fabric restored, with new insertions converting the facility for modern use. Applying a wide range of sustainable first principles enabled the building to achieve a BREEAM Very Good rating.
The timber trusses in the main hall were exposed to the weather for many years. Replacement trusses were constructed on site using the original metal straps and some of the original timbers where they could be retained.
The flexible building plan allows for uses that echo the buildings original incarnation, including a large performance space and managed workspaces.
The original copper dome was removed, reportedly during WWII. To reinstate it, Purcell referred to the initial design details recorded in a single photograph taken around the turn of the 20th century.
The building was restored and reordered with the removal of late 20th Century insertions and extensive repairs to the remaining building fabric.
The new building layout reduces the number of room-within-room arrangements to maximise the use of natural sunlight.

Russian investigators determine crashed airliner exploded after hitting ground
The aircraft was intact at the time of its descent
© EPA-EFE/ALEXANDER OLEINIKOV
MOSCOW, February 12. /TASS/. Investigators have concluded that the Antonov An-148 aircraft that had crashed outside Moscow on Sunday did not break up in mid-air, but rather the explosion occurred when the plane hit the ground, Investigative Committee Spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko said on Monday.
Flight data recorder presumably found at An-148 crash site
"It has been established that the aircraft was intact at the time of its descent and there was no combustion. The explosion occurred when the plane hit the ground," the spokeswoman said.
"The content the flight recorders will enable experts of the IAC [Interstate Aviation Committee] to reconstruct the flight in detail and determine the cause of the crash," Petrenko explained.
As the spokeswoman said, "during the course of the preliminary investigation, all versions will be looked into, including the work to investigate the airline's activity, the technical condition of the plane and the pilots' professional level, as well as facts about the required training underwent."
Investigators are conducting searches and impounding documents at the office of Saratov Airlines, including the documentation on the plane's maintenance and technical examination, and the crew's medical checkup, she said.
"The investigators have obtained fuel samples, the files of radio exchanges between flight controllers and the plane's commander, the files of the system tracking the airliner on the ground and in the air, along with the radar's electronic data on the plane's flight," the Investigative Committee spokeswoman said.
The probe involves over a hundred employees from the Investigative Committee who are working in several Russian regions, Petrenko said.
Both flight recorders have been found at the Antonov An-148 crash site in the Moscow region as of now, a source in the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC) also confirmed to TASS.
"Both the parameter and voice recorders have been located," the source stressed. The flight recorders are severely damaged but decoding is presumably possible, the source confirmed.
Passenger plane crashes in Moscow region
"They are both damaged," the source said, adding that it was presumably possible to decode them. The recorders will be delivered to the laboratory shortly.
"The flight recorders will be open as soon as they are delivered, so tonight it will be possible to say for sure if they can be decoded," the source noted.
A criminal case is being pursued under Article 263.3 of the Russian Criminal Code (violation of security requirements while using aircraft, resulting in the death of two and more persons through negligence).
On February 11, an Antonov An-148 passenger plane operated by Saratov Airlines (en route from Moscow to Orsk, in the Orenburg Region) that had departed from Domodedovo airport vanished from radars a few minutes after takeoff. Fragments of the plane were found near the village of Stepanovskoye in the Moscow Region's Ramensky district. There were 65 passengers and six crewmembers onboard the passenger jet. There were no survivors. According to latest updates, rescue workers have found more than 300 fragments from the plane at the crash site.

Boston Celtics To Sign Former All-Star Blake Griffin For One-Year Deal :
Entertainment, Gremin Media |
As training camp draws to a close and preseason begins, this is usually a point in the season where the only NBA transactions hitting the wire are players being signed for a day or two so as to be able to allocate their rights to the team's G League affiliate, or cuts of any residual offseason excess. Nonetheless, Boston Celtics have agreed to sign former All-Star Blake Griffin, most recently of the Brooklyn Nets, to a one-year deal. The deal is fully guaranteed, and thus not part of the training camp shuffle – Griffin, it seems, will be a Celtic to begin this season.
Griffin's signing comes on the back not only of new acquisition Danilo Gallinari's long term absence due to an ACL injury, but also the recent news that starting center Robert Williams will miss a longer period of time than previously thought with the lingering effects of the injury that clearly hampered him in last year's NBA Finals run.

Eugene Lang, former chief of staff to Liberal Defence Ministers John McCallum and Bill Graham, and current policy adviser to the Liberal Party of Canada asks similar questions about the policy decision to scrap the MGS in favour of the Leopard II. Curiously, he claims his former boss, Graham, let Gen. Hillier supplied the initial "vision" for the 2005 Defence Policy Statement, apparently all on his own. If that's true, what does that say about civil-military relations in Canada under the Paul Martin Liberals?
"The new tanks will not win the campaign in Kandahar; they will simply add more armoured protection for our soldiers, which in turn buys the mission a little more time. Increased casualties means decreased public support, and ultimately domestic politics will determine the duration of our commitment to Afghanistan."
Are Netherlands navy surplus OPVs an option?

Q: MySQL Datetime <-> Java Date I use Hibernate and I have a datetime in my MySQL database.
Now I want to store the date/time which is a java.util.Date into the database.
So I can write:
SimpleDateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
testObject.setCreationDate(df.parse("2010-06-06 13:20:15"));

But how can I set the current date/time? Because this is a data field which should store the creation datetime of this object/table row.
Best Regards.

A: Date date = new java.sql.Date();

will create the date object with the current date/time.

International review committee:
Research School for Theoretical Physics 'excellent and of great added value'
An international review committee led by Prof. Daan Frenkel from Cambridge University has granted the Dutch Research School for Theoretical Physics a rating of 'excellent' for all criteria: quality, relevance and viability. The committee observes that the School's staff and students feel it provides a great deal of added value. It is also of vital importance for the field of theoretical physics in the Netherlands, as it serves as the premiere national platform for this area of research.
Prof. Henk Stoof
Scientific Director Prof. Henk Stoof from Utrecht University is pleased with the results of the review. The committee's recommendations can be summarised as: 'Recognise, value and never lose sight of the strengths the School currently offers'. Stoof: "For us, this is a confirmation of our philosophy that it is good to let PhD candidates become acquainted with other branches of theoretical physics."
From string theory to soft condensed matter
The Dutch Research School for Theoretical Physics (DRSTP) is a collaborative effort between the theoretical physics groups at six Dutch universities and the research institute Nikhef. Its mission is to encourage the sharing of knowledge between the various fields of research, which range from string theory to soft condensed matter and biophysics. PhD candidates from the participating research groups attend a compulsory programme of two courses (2 weeks each), Summer Schools, a PhD day and a biannual Trends in Theory symposium.
Great added value
Both the staff and the students feel that the Research School offers a great deal of added value. However, the PhD candidates stated that they would also like to be able to attend more in-depth courses in their own field of research. "On the other hand, it's been our experience that becoming acquainted with other fields of research is extremely useful. You might not apply it right away, but eventually that knowledge will prove its worth.Other (international) Summer Schools offer more in-depth courses", says Stoof.
ITP is a 'jewel'
Stoof's statements are backed up by the recent review visit of Utrecht University's Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP), which concluded that ITP is one of the few theoretical research institutes in the world that are capable of conducting ground-breaking research in every aspect of an exceptionally broad field of research. ITP researchers are able to realise synergy and interesting research partnerships both within their institute and outside its walls. According to the review committee, it is "a jewel among theoretical physics research institutes world wide".
In demand in the job market
The added value of the Dutch Research School for Theoretical Physics is not limited to its broader perspective on research, however. The committee observed that in its activities, the school encourages PhD candidates to practice their academic skills and to develop their career perspective. The theoretical physicists who graduate from the school are in high demand in the job market, both in the academic world and in other areas, especially consultancy and ICT.

My Column:
Don't worry about who becomes Ohio State's QB1, either way, he's gonna be good
The Buckeyes have three talented quarterbacks, and whomever wins the battle will be more than capable of leading the team.
By Matt Tamanini@BWWMatt Apr 9, 2021, 6:31pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Don't worry about who becomes Ohio State's QB1, either way, he's gonna be good
We Ohio State fans aren't a patient bunch; some might even say that we are overzealous, entitled, and at time prone to hysterics. Those people, frankly, would be underselling the lengths to which our obsession can take us. However, I am urging all of Buckeye Nation to take a deep breath and not get overly worked up about one of the biggest issues facing the football team during spring practices.
We all know that the most important thing that Ryan Day and company need to accomplish this spring is to see what they have in their three highly touted — though concerningly inexperienced — quarterbacks. That's more important than figuring out how to fix the embarrassingly broken secondary or whether or not true freshman TreVeyon Henderson will be the starting running back in the season opener.
Based on information from the Buckeye beat reporters that have been at practice recently, C.J. Stroud is always first up in drills, but Jack Miller and Kyle McCord are also rotating through the first-team reps. That seems to validate Day's insistence that all three QBs are still competing for the starting job and that no one has yet separated himself from the pack.
Now, I get that we all want to know who is going to be OSU's signal-caller this fall, the success or failure of any football team — especially at the collegiate level — is often determined by who lines up behind center. Even when QBs are good, but not exactly great, there can be a ceiling to just how far they can take the team. For all of the statistical records and on-field wins to which J.T. Barrett led the Buckeyes, it never really felt like he was going to be the one to put the team on his back and lead them to the promised land. It was only when Cardale "12 Gauge" Jones entered the picture that Ohio State went from a solid, Big Ten contender to the 2014 national champions.
However, despite the importance of this spring's quarterback battle, and all that rests on the eventual final decision, I've come to the conclusion that it's not worth worrying about at this point. Perhaps its my rapidly advancing old age, but I just don't see the upside in spending a ton of time and energy contemplating a decision that is likely months away from happening (or at least becoming public), especially since we will likely have precious little legitimate information about how the quarterbacks are progressing between now and fall camp — other than the incredibly scripted, non-QB contact Spring Game.
The way I look at it, whomever ends up getting the nod in the Buckeyes' season-opener against the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Thursday, Sept. 2, I can guarantee that he's gonna be good. You want to know how I can be so confident? Because Day, offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson, and quarterback coach Corey Dennis have three supremely talented players competing for the job, and whichever one is able to prove that he deserves to be the Ohio State starter is going to have earned it.
We saw very little of Stroud and Miller during the abbreviated 2020 season, and McCord is only a handful of months removed from being a high school senior; so I don't think that anyone really knows much about how any of these young men will be as college quarterbacks. However, what we do know about each of them is that they are supremely talented. McCord and Stroud were both five-star prospects, and Miller was a five-star prospect until injuries derailed his senior season.
Additionally, all three are athletic, pro-style quarterbacks who are deservedly confident in their abilities, and we know that they are not afraid of competition. If any of them were not confident and/or were afraid of competition, we wouldn't be in this situation, because all three of them wouldn't be in Columbus today.
Stroud committed to the Buckeyes knowing that Miller had already been the class' QB for years, and McCord signed with OSU, despite knowing that the other two were already on campus and a (wonky pandemic) year ahead in learning the system. So, by virtue of the fact that they are all currently Buckeyes, we know that each and every one of them has the mental makeup to thrive under the intense spotlight of an Ohio State quarterback battle.
I think that it's also safe to assume that all three know how to work hard, because if any of them had come out of winter conditioning and hadn't lived up to Micky Marotti's lofty expectations, I feel comfortable in saying that they wouldn't be getting equal first-team run in practice with the other two QBs.
So to recap, here's what we know:
- All three quarterbacks are incredibly athletic and talented.
- All three quarterbacks are confident in their abilities.
- All three quarterbacks are competitive and not afraid of a challenge.
- All three quarterbacks are working their proverbial asses off.
Knowing all of that, I think that I'd be comfortable with whomever gets the call in 146 days when the Bucks travel to the Twin Cities. Now, of course, having multiple quality options at quarterback doesn't guarantee that the coaches aren't going to screw up getting the right guy on the field.
Fortunately for us, Georgia coach Kirby Smart didn't live up to his surname when he decided to play Jake Fromm over Justin Fields in 2018. That blunder led the QB to transfer to Ohio State and lead the Buckeyes to back-to-back College Football Playoff appearances. So, we know that coaches can be dumb, especially when it comes to quarterback decisions.
But we don't need to go down to Georgia to see how a QB battle can mess with the mind of even Hall of Fame coaches. Following the aforementioned 2014 national title, with Barrett again healthy and Jones returning to Columbus despite flirting with the NFL (you should have taken the money and ran Cardale), Urban Meyer seemed paralyzed by the decision of who should start at quarterback for all of spring practice, fall camp, and even into the season.
Cardale opened the year behind center, but eventually gave way to J.T. Now, who's to say whether or not having a single voice as the offensive leader from Day 1 would have resulted in a different outcome in that monstrously disappointing campaign, but it sure didn't help to see the Buckeye coaching staff flail wildly throughout a process that needed a confident, steady hand.
So, again, coaches are just as likely as players to completely bungle quarterback battles. But, I have faith in Day to make the right decision. He was a quarterback, so he knows what the eventual starter — as well as the backups — will need, both mentally and in terms of preparation. I have confidence that he will do what is necessary to give all three the best opportunities to succeed.
Day has also spent his entire career coaching quarterbacks at the college and NFL levels. So, he knows what he needs his starting quarterback to learn and accomplish by certain dates. He knows how many reps he wants his starter to have with the first team by the time Week 1 rolls around. He likely already has mapped out what parts of the offense he plans on installing each week between now and September, and all of that is contingent on when he finalizes who will be QB1.
Not to mention that Day has had a pretty decent amount of success with signal-callers during his previous four seasons in Columbus. From Barrett to Dwayne Haskins to Fields, Day has worked with three very different quarterbacks and gotten the most that he possibly could out of them.
The thing is, whomever ends up starting for Ohio State is going to be a first-year starter attempting his first collegiate pass in the opener. It's not going to be smooth and/or easy. However, I feel confident that whichever QB is eventually named the starter — be it Stroud, Miller, or McCord — that he's going to have the talent and mental fortitude to handle the job and that the coaches will not only have selected the right guy for the job, but will also do everything necessary to have him prepared for the opener.
So, knowing all that, I see no reason to worry about the future of Ohio State's quarterback position — at least not until we see them take the field in the fall. So I'm just going to sit back, drink some lemonade, and give myself an ulcer contemplating how horrific the defensive backs could be this fall if Kerry Coombs doesn't get something figured out and soon.

"Expressions of Our Heritage" exhibition ongoing at National Museum
THE Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport in collaboration with the National Trust of Guyana recently opened its annual Heritage Exhibition at the Guyana National Museum, under the theme "Expressions of Our Heritage".
This year's exhibition is organised thematically, utilising photographs, artefacts and models for improved visitor experience and sensitisation.
The exhibition which is ongoing, highlights various aspects of heritage, including plantation life, socio-cultural, religious and industrial history; village life, monuments, architecture, engineering, literature, folklore, festivals and Guyanese proverbs, all aimed at illustrating Guyana's heritage.
Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Dr. Frank Anthony noted that some Guyanese have been documenting the country's folk stories and the ministry has been working with Amerindia n communities to have their languages documented in books and translated for general public reading.
"We now want to start a competition where our Amerindian brothers and sisters can sing in their indigenous languages and we're able to record and we're able to get that into the general public."
CULTURAL ASSESTS
He said that the ministry will continue to conduct research on Amerindian civilization since Guyana has a rich archaeological history. He underscored the need to protect the country's artifacts, saying that persons who have had artifacts pertaining to the country's heritage taken from them should report such incidents.
"We're working with communities because we feel that it's very important, and in each one of our communities, there are cultural assets that need to be protected and so one of the things we want to do going forward is that we want to work with communities to map the heritage aspects," he stated.
Anthony said work has been ongoing along the Essequibo River and several historical sites have been discovered. He noted that the ministry has been building and will continue to build more monuments in the country to allow persons to understand the country's heritage.
E ach year the National Trust sets aside a special period to celebrate the nation's diverse and glorious heritage through various media: exhibition, public lectures, school outreach and media sensitization and programmes in an effort to encourage the preservation and promotion of Guyana's heritage.
As the overview states, the 2013 Heritage Exhibition aims at sensitizing Guyanese about their rich and diverse heritage and how it has shaped their lives through the various forms of expression.
The overview notes also that Guyana, as evidenced in history, is richly endowed with unique cultures, customs and traditions resulting from the many peoples who came to its shores through early periods of exploration, conquest and colonization.
'MELTING POT' SOCIETY
It is today regarded as a true 'melting pot' society and one which Guyanese ought to be proud of as they have transcended many cultural, political, ideological and social barriers and have transformed its people into one nation with one destiny.
As such this year's exhibition is organised thematically, utilising photographs, artefacts and models for improved visitor experience and sensitisation.

Dave Jerden är en amerikansk musikproducent, ljudtekniker och ljudmixare. Han började sin karriär i slutet av 1970-talet med att vara ljudtekniker och ljudmixare främst i Eldorado Recording Studios för artister och band såsom Talking Heads, David Byrne, Frank Zappa, Mick Jagger och The Rolling Stones. Jerden började sin bana som musikproducent sent under 1980-talet när han samarbetade med bland annat Jane's Addiction, Alice in Chains och Red Hot Chili Peppers. Under mitten av 1990-talet kände han att de framgångar han hade haft som musikproducent var överväldigande och Jerden bestämde sig för att "ligga lågt". Han har sedan dess producerat en del album, men även experimenterat med såväl analoga som digitala ljud. Jerden är delägare i Tranzformer Studio som ligger i Burbank, Kalifornien.

Last week we contemplated Contemplation. This week, let's chill out and play with Ice. Or find something else to inspire your creativity in this photograph of a glacier precariously perched atop a Rocky Mountain peak in Banff National Park, Alberta, Canada.
The word for last week's Pic and a Word Challenge #103 was Contemplation, along with this photograph of a rainbow inside Jasper National Park's Athabasca Falls, Alberta Canada.
You don't use black and white very often but when you do it is stunning and enhances the pic and words.
When I began taking photographs in high school, I shot almost exclusively B&W, right through the end of my first year of photography school in 1980. About 4 years total.
Sometime after that, during extended travels through Australia and Asia, I discovered Fujichrome. I loved the vivacious, saturated colours. Been almost completely colour since then.
I get it. I was such a Velvia fan I resisted going digital. While I am partial to color, when black and white is done correctly, it can't be beat for composition, texture and mood. The final outcome has a simplified quality to it however I recognize the mastery of black and white is more complex than color. Color can sometimes cover for mediocrity in a way that black and white will not. Your color is not mediocre by the way. Far from it.
Among the things I love about my Fujifilm x-t2, the camera outputs numerous profiles for RAW post-processing, including Velvia, Provia and Astia, but there are also four lovely ACROS b&w profiles and another set of MONOCHROME profiles just to be sure. Bliss. This image utilizes the ACROS +R profile, which adds a red filter to the b&w, which emphasises the blue sky.
