Rare 50p coins in circulation
ECL-Admin	Posted on 15th February 2019
Unfortunately, not all 50p coins are worth much more than face value!
If you're reading this article, you may have an unusual 50p coin. There's been a lot of publicity over the last few years about rare 50p coins in circulation which are – often to the surprise of those carrying them – being sold for significantly more than their face value, with collectors and investors seeking to snap up specific scarce and commemorative designs.
No doubt you're already aware of this and are curious to know whether your 50p could be worth a pretty penny.
How much is my 50p worth?
Truth be told, the chances are your 50p coin will be worth precisely that; 50p. The trouble with trying to get an accurate idea of what your coin is worth is that internet searches will only leave you more confused.
Opportunists will leap at anything, and the 50p coin is no different, with a horde of opportunists hopping onto sites such as eBay trying to sell their Beatrix Potter 50p coins for silly prices in the hopes of conning a clueless few. A quick search on eBay and you'll discover all sorts of common Olympic 50p coins or maybe the Battle of Hasting 50p listed for hundreds of pounds. Take a closer look at these coins and their completed and sold listings, and you'll see that most of them don't sell.
Generally, the rarer the 50p coin, the more valuable it's likely to be. Brilliant Uncirculated or proofs finishes also tend to be more limited and therefore worth more, although this isn't always the case.
Try our free coin valuation tool perfect for finding the value of coins like the Peter Rabbit Coin.
What metal is a 50p coin made from?
Not all 50p coins are made or designed the same. The Royal Mint produces almost all their 50p coins for both currency and collecting purposes. Typically, these Royal Mint 50ps that have been released for collecting will have a higher strike than the standard 50p you find rolling about in your loose change.
Each one will come with a Brilliant Uncirculated finish (BU) and are often sealed in protective packaging or a secure presentation case, to prevent the currency from being handled, which can impact its value.
You may also be surprised to know that the coins found your change are not made from silver, they are made from cupro-nickel (75% copper, 25% nickel)
These limited release coins from the Royal Mint are comprised of other alloys such as .925 silver, or 22ct gold and are often finished with an even higher strike using specially polished dyes to create an exquisite, mirror-like Proof finish. These too will usually be in a beautiful presentation case, come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Usually, these more precious examples are used for collecting purposes only, given as gifts or purchased for special occasions.
Again, due to the strikes and limited numbers, some of these 50ps may become increasingly scarce with time and therefore sought after by collectors, becoming worth far more than their original value.
You can buy coins including the Hastings 50p coin in both gold or silver by visiting our coin shop.
So what coins are rare?
The coins we discuss below are in our opinion worth collecting in any alloy or finish.
The Kew Gardens 50p
Kew Gardens 50p with a BU finish in the original packaging.
Featuring the iconic pagoda as depicted by artist Christopher Le Brun RA, surrounded by a twisting vine with an inscription of Kew at its base and the commemorative dates of 1759 and 2009.
The Pagoda at Kew
The Great Pagoda was erected in the south-east corner of Kew Gardens in 1762. Created by Sir William Chambers, the Pagoda is an imitation of the Chinese Ta and comprises of ten octagonal storeys and stands 164ft tall. During the WW2, holes were cut into the floors and used to drop test model bombs.
This remarkable coin was specially designed in 2009, to commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the Royal Botanic Gardens. However, only a reasonably small batch of only 210,000 was released.
Today, this coin is famously scarce, with only a handful left in circulation, these are now hugely sought after by collectors. The standard cupro-nickel example found in your change can fetch as much as £80 on the well-known auction site eBay – not a bad return on a 50p!
The collector's editions can bring far higher prices. For example, The Brilliant Uncirculated Strike (BU) is worth as much as £200 alone, the Kew Gardens Proof Silver 50p can sell for as much as £400, and the Kew Gardens 22ct gold 50p can fetch a phenomenal £2000!
You can purchase the new 2019 edition of this coin by visiting our website, priced at just £42.49
1992 – 1993 European Presidency 50p
1992 EEC 50p made from silver with a proof finish.
Released by The Royal Mint in 1992, this rare 50p coin commemorates the United Kingdom's Presidency of the Council of Ministers during 1992 and the completion of the single European Market which came into effect in January 1993.
This popular commemorative coin is the first 50p coin with stars and a dual date displayed. The reverse design of the coin, by sculptor Mary Milner Dickens, bears a historic design which represents the 12 members of the 1992 European Community by the 12 chairs around the conference table representing the Council of Ministers.
As the President country of the European Community, the United Kingdom sits at the head of the table, which shows 12 stars in the representative locations of the capital cities of the council member countries. The lines which connect these stars across the table represent the links of trade and commerce within the community.
The obverse portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is by Raphael Maklouf.
Official figures from the Royal Mint indicate that only 109,000 of the coins were ever minted, making this an extremely scarce coin, which is no longer released.
Much like the Kew Gardens 50p, the 1992-1993 EEC 50p can be found in cupro-nickel as well as .925 silver and 22ct gold editions. Cupronickel coins can fetch up to £50, silver proofs typically go for £60 – £70, while gold can go for a whopping £700!
Rare Olympic 50p
The reworked version of the 2011 aquatic 50p with a BU finish and original packaging.
The Royal Mint had the official license to manufacture the Olympic Coins Collection for the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympic Games as well as being awarded the contract to manufacture the Victory Medals that would be used for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The range covered a mixture of denominations, however, there was a huge interest in the Olympic 50p designs.
The obverse of each coin featured Ian Rank-Broadley's portrait of The Queen, The Royal Mint held a competition to design the reverse of each of the coins in the collection. From over 30,000 entries, 29 were selected to represent the 29 sports of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The winning designs were chosen by The Royal Mint Advisory Committee and officially approved by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Exclusively designed and released for the 2011 Olympics, and often referred to as the 2011 Aquatic 50p coin. This coin features a delightfully rare design displaying an Olympic swimmer submerged in water, and swimming through the waves. A very small number of the original design were produced before being withdrawn at the last minute and replaced with a new modified version showing a clearer illustration.
Today, rumour has it that only 600 of these 50p coins ever slipped into circulation. This means they're extremely scarce and don't pop up often, but it also means that when they do, they can sell for well over a thousand pounds. That's right – just for the standard cupro-nickel 50p clinking about in your change!
Other 50p coin values
As our article has shown, there are indeed some rare 50p coins in circulation, so It's certainly worth a rummage to see if there's one of these 50p coins buried in your loose change!
We have covered the coins we believe are some of the rarest here, however, If you're still curious to know what your 50p coin is worth, why not try our free coin valuation tool for accurate values made effortless?
Quick and easy to use, it saves you the time of endless searching through eBay for sold and completed listings. Simply choose your coin, the date and the alloy and voila; our handy tool will tell you your 50p coin values.

Since sixteen-year-old Riley Strout lost her mother two years ago, her saving grace has been her quirky little family in the grief support group she joined as a freshman. Jay, Kate, and Noah understand her pain; each lost a loved one, and they've stuck together in spite of their differences, united by tragedies only they understand. When Riley thinks she spots her mother shopping in a grocery store, she fears she is suffering some sort of post-traumatic stress. Then Jay and Kate report similar experiences. Only Noah hasn't had some kind of vision, which is perhaps why he's become so skeptical and distant. When Noah disappears, Riley fears she's lost another loved one. As they frantically search for him, she, Kate, and Jay are drawn into the mystery surrounding a relic that belonged to Jay's dead father and contains clues about the afterlife. Riley finds herself wrestling with her feelings for both Noah and Jay-which have become clear only in Noah's absence. If Riley is to help those she loves, and herself, she must set things right with the one she's lost.

Analysis: Community College Fight Attracts Little Attention
Board Struggles To Name New Director Amid Behind-the-Scenes Politicking
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi's Community College Board should be thankful that the state's College Board got crossways with University of Mississippi Chancellor Dan Jones.
Without the dispute over Jones leaving Ole Miss to distract them, more members of the general public might have noticed the train wreck on the board that coordinates the state's 15 community and junior colleges.
It's at least as bad as what's happened at the universities, and maybe worse. Since December, the 10-member board has been locked in a 5-5 stalemate over who should be hired as the board's next executive director. Last month, the trench warfare claimed Debra West, the board's deputy director of programs and accountability, who had been the favored candidate of one of the five-member factions. The other group wanted to reopen the search to look for someone else.
West withdrew her candidacy. That clears the way for a new search, although there are still questions about whether the board can function effectively, or how attractive the job might be considering the deep divisions created by months of behind-the-scenes maneuvering.
Like the College Board, Community College Board members are trying to leave all the talking to their chairman, Bruce Martin, who has voted on the governor's side. That makes it hard for the public to know what other board members are thinking. It would be interesting to know, for example, what the other five members think of Martin's plan to have former Mississippi State University President Malcolm Portera run a new search for an executive director. But in a triumph of bravery and accountability, seven of the 10 board members have never returned a phone call from The Associated Press.
There's plenty of blame to go around. It's hard to believe any of this would have happened if Gov. Phil Bryant had not intervened in November to try to redirect the search toward candidates with less conventional academic credentials, saying he wanted more focus on workforce development.
Martin finally acknowledged what insiders have been whispering about for months — that Bryant asked the board to consider hiring Tray Hairston, a lawyer who was Bryant's policy adviser for the first 18 months of Bryant's term. Hairston now works for the Butler Snow law firm, which doubles as a holding pen for former and future officials in Republican administrations, including former Gov. Haley Barbour.
After the community college presidents rose up to defend the requirement that the executive director should have administrative experience at an academic institution, Bryant has backed off publicly.
"The governor has every confidence in the board and believes they will make the best decision in their search for an executive director," spokeswoman Nicole Webb said last week.
Unlike at the university level, the Community College Board doesn't run the colleges directly. They're run by boards appointed by local governments in each college's district. But one of the executive director's main jobs is to lobby law makers for funding. And in that way, the struggle may already be affecting the 76,000 students of the 15 colleges.
Johnny Allen, the outgoing president of Northeast Mississippi Community College and the Mississippi Association of Community and Junior Colleges, said he believes the executive director struggle hurt the colleges as they were trying to win more funding from lawmakers in this year's Legislature. Lawmakers gave about a $9 million increase to the colleges, which did little to lift them toward their legally mandated support level — an amount halfway between what K-12 and universities get per student.
"Certainly, I think for the next year, the colleges are going to suffer some financial consequences," Allen said

Pranks Defined
by V. Vale
Filed under: Definitions, Sociology and Psychology of Pranks, The Prank as Art
This definition of pranks is from V.Vale's introduction to his formative book PRANKS, published in 1987 by RE/Search Publications. I've always loved this essay. He has graciously allowed us to reprint it here. In 2006, RE/Search Publications released a follow-up book called Pranks! 2 that is equally seminal in its approach to the subject -JS
PRANKS. According to the Merriam-Webster New Collegiate Dictionary, a prank is a "trick . . . a mildly mischievous act . . . a practical joke . . . a ludicrous act." The best pranks invoke the imagination, poetic imagery, the unexpected and a deep level of irony or social criticism""such as Boyd Rice's presentation of a skinned sheep's head on a silver platter to Betty Ford, First Lady of the United States. Great pranks create synaesthetic experiences which are unmistakably exciting, original, and reverberating, as well as creative, metaphoric, poetic and artistic. If these criteria be deemed sufficient, then pranks can be considered as constituting an art form and genre in themselves.
However slighted by Academia, pranks are not without cultural and historical precedent. A casual survey of art of the twentieth century reveals a neglected galaxy of shining star prank-events which forever altered the path of future creative activity, such as Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (a painting of prostitutes), Duchamp's Fountain (a urinal which he labeled "sculpture"), and Warhol's successful marketing of painting depicting gory car crashes as six-figure "high art."
A prank connotes fun, laughter, jest, satire, lampooning, making a fool of someone""all light-hearted activities. Thus do pranks camouflage the sting of deeper, more critical denotations, such as their direct challenge to all verbal and behavioral routines, and their undermining of the sovereign authority of words, language, visual images, and social conventions in general. Regardless of specific manifestation, a prank is always an evasion of reality. Pranks are the deadly enemy of reality. And "reality"""its description and limitation""has always been the supreme control trick used by a society to subdue the lust for freedom latent in its citizens.
From the very onset of social interactions pranks play their part, instructing and enlightening the child toward the realization that things are never what they seem. Calling into question inherently dubious concepts such as "reality," "trust," "belief," obedience," and "the social contract," pranks occasionally succeed in implanting a profound and lasting distrust of all social conventions and institutions.
Unfortunately, pranks are usually identified with""and limited to""pre-adult stages of development. At the point of "adulthood" the multiplication of mischief must cease; youths are supposed to "grow out of" the need to perpetrate pranks as they accept society's restriction of their spirit through the progressive conventionalization of their behavior. The role model of the adult prankster is a scarce archetype indeed. But""pranks can continue until one's dying breath: when he died, the great Surrealist Andre Breton was taken to the cemetery in a moving van.
What makes a prank "bad"? In America the outstanding socially-sanctioned prank is the college fraternity hazing, which means "to harass by exacting unnecessary or disagreeable work, to harass by banter, ridicule, or criticism," Usually characterized not only by unoriginality but by conventionalized cruelty, these pointless humiliations do nothing to raise consciousness or alter existing power relationships. They are deeds which only further the status-quo; they only perpetuate the acceptance of and submission to arbitrary authority, or abet existing hierarchical inequities. Basically these include all pranks readily recognizable as "cliches"""those which contribute no new poetic imagery.
The word "prank" is strangely absent from academic psychology, sociology and anthropology texts which presumably exist to document and classify the full range of human behavior in this world. A recent look at the indexes of literally a hundred books in these categories revealed no entries! Yet even a cursory perusal of world myths and written literature will substantiate the prank as a significant, consciousness-raising, and often pivotal event in the ethical and creative development of the individual in society. Examples range from Coyote and Raven in American Indian mythology to the legends of Hermes and Prometheus.
A possible explanation for this mysterious lacuna may lie in the way genuinely poetic/imaginative pranks resist facile categorization, and transcend inflexible (and often questionable) demarcations between legality and illegality, good and bad taste, and right and wrong social conduct. Society imposes a grid of habit-forming pathways on its denizens to "produce results" without lateral detouring. Obviously, a minimum of ritualized language and behavior to facilitate the flow of goods and services for survival is necessary. However, this minimum has been well exceeded long ago. Pranks blast the rigidified politeness and behavior patterns which bespeak sleepwalkers acting on automatic pilot. They attack the fundamental mechanisms of a society in which all social/verbal intercourse functions as a means towards a future consumer exchange, either of goods or experience. It is possible to view every "entertainment" experience marketed today either as an act of consumption, a prelude to an act of consumption, or both.
Pranks challenge all aspects of "the social contract" which have ossified. Their power derives from exploration and elucidation of the inarticulate, confused areas surrounding society. They probe the territory of the taboo, which has always been concerned with sex and death. This shadow area, which has spawned most of the creative breakthroughs worth preserving, is also that area which society""striving above all to preserve its status quo""neglects, rejects and ignores, principally through the process of cultural censorship. Yet "true art is always there ""where no one is waiting for it . . . Art does not come and lie in the beds we make for it. It slips away as soon as its name is uttered; it likes to preserve its incognito. Its best moment are when it forgets its very name." (Jean Dubuffet)
Pranks are most admirable when they evoke a liberation of expression . . . and challenge the authority of appearances. While almost all pranks mock or undermine kneel-to-authority conditioning, some do more, by virtue of disclosing more levels of black humor and metaphor, or expanding our notions of reality by gifting us with a bizarre image or metamorphosis. At a single stroke a prank can dissect an intricate tissue of artifice, exposing a rigid behavioral structure underneath.
By unhinging the context for expectation, pranks explode the patterning which narrows and shrinks down our imaginative potential. What distinguishes a painting from wallpaper, or literature from stock market reports, is the tearing and ripping apart of old forms and structures to create new perceptions which renew and refresh life itself. All art attempts to rid life of banality; to expunge the habituation effect whose cause is "daily living."
Obedience to language and image must continually be challenged, if we are to stay "alive." The best pranks research and probe the boundaries of the occupied territory known as "society" in an attempt to redirect that society toward a vision of life grounded not in dreadful necessity, but rather, continual poetic renewal. (A society whose exchange value consisted in poetic images and humor rather than dollars can barely be imagined at this stage of world evolution.) Pranks function to evoke the parallel Land of Make Believe, that realm of perpetual surprise and delight where endless possibilities for fun and pleasure depend upon circumvention of habit and cliche. From their Shadow-world, pranks cast their Funhouse Mirror reflection of our workaday world. Ultimately, the territory signposted by pranks may represent our single supremely tangible freedom.

The Ulster Museum's collection of animal specimens reminds us of some of the threats facing the natural world. Some of our most treasured specimens are of creatures that were driven to extinction by hunting. Our collection covers all types of creatures and is divided into vertebrates (with backbones), and invertebrates (without backbones).
There are taxidermy mounts, skeletons, and skins of many birds and mammals found in and around Northern Ireland, and from all around the world. Among the invertebrates we have huge collections of insects and molluscs.
Our collection holds examples of every mammal species living in Northern Ireland today, and skeletons of whales and dolphins that have washed up on our shores. The enigmatic thylacine is here, as is the bizarre duck-billed platypus. The collection contains more than 2000 mammal mounts, skins, and skeletons. The finest of these are on display, while many more form an important reference collection.
More than 300 bird species are known from Northern Ireland, and our collections include mounts of nearly all of them. Many were prepared in the early 20th century by the famous Sheals taxidermists of Belfast. Today, vital conservation regulations restrict this type of collecting, and the museum no longer engages in it. The collection is an important scientific reference collection—some the best of these are on display, or on loan to other organisations.
Northern Ireland's seas are rich with life. Some of our freshwater lakes and rivers are home to rare animals and plants. Our collection holds many of these specimens— from minute molluscs to mighty whales, and from endangered freshwater pearl mussels to types of lake trout found nowhere else in the world.
Just as there are more insects on the planet than any other animal group, so there are more insects in the Ulster Museum collection than all the other specimens combined. Most of our insect specimens are from the UK and Ireland, but many are from further afield. Among them are the exceptional collections of Morpho and Parnassius butterflies. We also have a significant collection of other invertebrates, particularly snails from across Ireland.


Explore the magnificent volcanic Mývatn area with us and end the Hike in the relaxing Nature baths.
We hike through classic green "birch woods" of Iceland, exploring fissures and caves along the way. On the way we visit the Grjótagjá caves made famous in the series "Game of Thrones" and then hike to a geothermal cave where the local farmers around Mývatn lake used to go steam bathing. We then continue to the Mývatn nature baths where we go bathing in the lagoon, steam baths and hot tub for around one hour. After bathing we are picked up by car and driven back to the Mývatn Activity office.
Bring: Bathing suit and towel, drinking water and snack.

Jewelry company finds itself in a battle with the government over the use of the word 'Jewelry'
Small jewelry box is not a luxury item, and the word "jewelry" does not have any meaning for them.
Jewelry companies are increasingly trying to avoid using the word as they seek to avoid having to comply with government requirements to register their products with the UK's cosmetics regulator.
The UK cosmetics regulator, Cosmetics UK, has been using the term "jewels" to describe cosmetic products since 2011.
Cosmetics, which was set up by the government to make cosmetic products safer and more accessible, requires companies to register and identify all products they sell with the regulator.
Cosmetically, this means companies are legally obliged to disclose the ingredients of their products and to disclose any ingredient names.
But it has become a controversial issue with some retailers, who have been using it as a branding tool to attract customers, while others have said it is misleading.
In a case that will be heard in the UK Supreme Court, cosmetics company Lush said its "small jewelry" boxes are not intended to be cosmetic.
It says it uses the word to describe a wide range of cosmetic products, including cosmetics that it sells, but has been forced to remove the term because of the concerns over the regulation.
The case is expected to be heard this month.
Cosmetic products, which can range from simple to complex, can have a wide array of uses, including in everyday life.
The cosmetics regulator says that cosmetics should be labelled with the terms and phrases "small," "medium," "large" and "extended" to allow consumers to easily identify and understand what they are.
It adds that it is vital that all cosmetic products are labelled so that they can be clearly understood and that it does not become difficult for customers to choose the product.
However, the cosmetics regulator has not always enforced its strict regulations, with some companies using the use "small" and other words to indicate a wider range of products.
This has led to disputes between cosmetics companies and the cosmetics watchdog, which has argued that it needs to have more control over the cosmetics industry and the terms used by some of them.
The British Retail Consortium (BRC), which represents cosmetic retailers including Lush, says that it was pleased to have reached a settlement with Lush.
"We hope that the court decision will lead to clearer and more consistent guidance on cosmetics, and also provide clearer guidance for retailers to ensure that cosmetics are clearly advertised," said BRC chief executive officer Rob Killeen.
The BRC said that the cosmetics regulation had changed dramatically over the last few years.
"The cosmetics regulation has been changed in recent years and this has led many retailers to not want to be seen to be in compliance with the cosmetics regulations," Killeout said.
"It is therefore important that retailers adhere to these new regulations to ensure they can continue to sell the products that they sell and make money."
Cosmetics regulation in the US and the UK Cosmetics is an umbrella term used in the cosmetics sector to refer to a range of cosmetics that can range in price from $5 to $250 per bottle, as well as many cosmetic products that are not considered to be cosmetics.
The term "small", for example, is used to describe the size of the bottle, or the shape of the packaging.
The Cosmetics Act 2009 states that cosmetics companies must use the term small in their advertising to distinguish their products from other brands, and to make clear that their products are not cosmetics.
But the BRC has been arguing that cosmetics have a broad definition of "cosmetics" and that they should be considered to have a narrower meaning.
The organisation has asked the European Commission to review the cosmetics laws to determine if the word is still a valid way to describe cosmetics.
It argues that the BSC has no authority to determine what cosmetics are and aren't cosmetic and should not have to comply.
It said that, in order for the cosmetics law to remain effective, cosmetics companies need to be able to comply and that retailers should be able make informed choices.

I see poker pro tonkas streaming, he played 888,stars and natural8 tournaments, so worth to try this room, it seems that will be in top 5 rooms in future.
the public, when you see professional player playing there.
Frankly every new company on the gambling market scares me a little cuz only time will tell which ones are legit and which one is just a shell company for laundering money and could fold any time.

Europe's online alternative finance market continues to grow, but remains dominated by the UK, new research shows. The Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance says the market was worth €7.7bn by the end of 2016, the most recent period for which data is available, with €5.6bn of that total accounted for by the UK.
The data means the alternative finance market across Europe grew by 41 per cent during 2016, providing a range of valuable funding for entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises that was not available from traditional funding sources. Stripping out the UK, however, the market was up by 101 per cent, with the less mature alternative finance industries of continental Europe now growing very rapidly.
France, Germany and the Netherlands are now the three largest alternative finance markets outside the UK, followed by Finland, Spain, Italy and Georgia. The UK's share of the European alternative finance market fell to 73 per cent in 2016 from 81 per cent a year earlier as other markets grew faster.
Consumer lending remains the single biggest sub-sector of the alternative finance industry, with peer-to-peer lending sites accounting for 34 per cent of the marketplace. However, SME funding is significant, with peer-to-peer business lending, invoice trading and equity-based crowdfunding together accounting for 40 per cent of the market.
These services have raised significant sums for the SME sector, providing €1.14bn to more than 14,000 businesses across Europe. Debt models including peer-to-peer business lending accounted for 67 per cent of business finance, while equity-based models accounted for 27 per cent.
"Financial services are undergoing a profound transformation that will eventually reshape banking completely," says José Manuel González-Páramo, a director of the Spanish bank BBVA, one of the sponsors of the study, whose authors noted a clear link between fast growth and an accommodating regulatory regime; those countries where regulators have made the greatest effort to provide supportive policies to the alternative finance industry are now reaping the rewards.
Looking ahead, the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance predicts further strong growth from the industry, but the study warns any type of scandal in the sector could damage its progress. The two most significant risks to future growth are the potential collapse of a well-known platform following malpractice, and a major case of fraud involving one or more high-profile transactions, respondents to the study warned.
In the absence of such setbacks, however, the outlook for the alternative finance market looks strong. While many services developed in the wake of the financial crisis a decade ago, when banks pulled back from lending, particularly to SME customers, the sector now looks well-established, with no obvious squeeze from banks that have returned to lending.
One sign of that maturity is the amount of institutional investment cash now available to the industry. In 2016, 45 per cent of peer-to-peer consumer lending and 29 per cent of peer-to-peer business lending was funded by institutions such as banks, pension funds and asset management firms.

Blue Cross and Dejected Shield of Massachusetts, area Duckworth serves as medical administrator for behavioral health, had already approved to accomplish prescribing and analysis added attainable and had invested in educational programming on opioid use, but the insurer is now alive to advice the bodies those measures don't reach. The allowance behemothic is the aboriginal bloom plan in the accompaniment to accord opioid balance changeabout toolkits to bristles ample employers, including its own employees, through a analysis that could ultimately extend to all administration it covers.
"This is an underutilized apparatus in the war we face with opiates," Duckworth told Modern Healthcare.
Massachusetts has been adamantine hit by the opioid epidemic. The accompaniment saw 1,909 opioid-related deaths aftermost year, and addition 657 deaths in the aboriginal six months of 2018. U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams in April apprenticed added Americans to accumulate naloxone on hand.
Because of their ability to ache on-the-job injuries that advance to opioid prescriptions, architecture and abstraction workers comprise 24% of opioid-related deaths amid the state's alive population, according to an August address from the Massachusetts Department of Accessible Health. Allison Gifford, a backer for Shawmut Construction, wrote in an email that the aggregation does not accept an affair with opioid corruption and has never had an balance on site.
Seventy bodies died of opioid-related overdoses in Brockton, a burghal of almost 96,000 people, in 2017 alone, according to the state's Department of Accessible Health, the third accomplished of all 351 cities and towns in the accompaniment aftermost year. Burghal assembly were not accessible for comment.
Ware, a boondocks of about 10,000 people, saw bristles balance deaths in 2017 and bifold that in 2016. Boondocks Manager Stuart Beckley affairs to accumulate the kits in parks, boondocks hall, the chief centermost and the library. Ware had an balance afterlife in a esplanade a few years ago, a adverse accident Beckley believes advisers will be able to anticipate already they apperceive how to admit the affection of overdoses and can administrate Narcan.
"Certainly there could be saves in the approaching by our own employees," he said.
Each employer in the affairs will accept kits absolute two doses of the opioid balance changeabout drug, Narcan, the alone FDA-approved anatomy of naloxone in nasal aerosol form. Naloxone is additionally accessible in injectable versions, but Narcan is advantaged in abounding cases because it's broadly advised to be easier to use and beneath alarming than application a needle. The kits will additionally accept a surgical mask, gloves and instructions for administering Narcan.
Blue Cross affairs to assignment with anniversary employer to apprentice how they could best use the kits. Municipalities will acceptable ambition to accumulate them abounding at libraries, parks, pools and added accessible areas. Advisers will additionally accept training on abandoning opioid overdoses.
Duckworth said he's aggravating not to abode restrictions on how administration appetite to use the kits, alike if that agency absolution some advisers booty them home or accumulate them in their cars. Administration will additionally adjudge which advisers accept training on how to use Narcan. Dejected Cross has 800 kits accessible for the pilot, but it's not yet bright how abounding will be used.
The pilot intends to focus above accessible spaces, emphasizing appointment settings too, such as Dejected Cross' own offices. Duckworth said one of the administration complex in the pilot affairs had an balance in one of their offices, although he couldn't say which one.
A new Dejected Cross analysis begin 70% of Massachusetts association accept Narcan should be broadly accessible in workplaces, agnate to automatic alien defibrillators.
Before ablution the pilot, Dejected Cross conducted 507 interviews with consumers, bisected of whom had claimed adventures with opioid addiction through ancestors associates or friends. The interviews yielded tips such as befitting the kits small—the admeasurement of a architecture kit rather than a toolbox. Bodies additionally adumbrated they capital the kits to accommodate gloves, and that the kits shouldn't be black, like they were originally. Now they're aristocratic blue.
Blue Cross' account comes as the American Medical Association issued a alarm Thursday for accompaniment and federal legislators to accomplish the Brainy Bloom Parity and Addiction Equity Act, active into law in 2008, to advice end the opioid epidemic.

For 50 years, the Blue Bear Music School has been spreading the joy of rock'n'roll

Blue Bear Music School, San Francisco's original "School of Rock" topped off its 50th anniversary celebration this year with a unique gift from Jack Black.
The actor, who starred in the 2003 fictional film "School of Rock," recently joined members of the non-profit organization's youth program on Zoom to record an effusive version of "Suffragette City" from David Bowie.
"A good friend of mine told me about Blue Bear and the amazing job they've done," Black said in a statement. "I jumped at the chance to celebrate their 50th anniversary by jamming the Bowie with their teenage all-star group. So much fun. What an honor."
As part of its celebrations, Blue Bear is also holding a fundraising auction until Tuesday, November 30, giving supporters the opportunity to bid on items including original Fillmore posters from the 1960s, tickets to Metallica's upcoming 40th anniversary fan club shows at Chase Center in San Francisco in December.

Founded in 1971 with the mission of welcoming students of all ages and all levels, Blue bear taught tens of thousands of city residents how to play a riff, wear a melody, and navigate the choppy waters of the music industry.
The school is guided by Executive Director Steve Savage's philosophy of letting its educators "teach as they want to teach." The school's 40 or so teachers include drummer Jay Lane, who performs regularly with Bob Weir and Les Claypool; Jasmin Moosavi, singer of the group Azar; and local singer-songwriter Francesca Lee.

"It's really driven by the people rather than any sort of doctrine or preconceived idea about what music should be," said Savage, who also co-founded the school. "We want to empower people to play the music they love. "
On its campus inside the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture, along the city's northern waterfront, budding rock stars can sign up for private lessons, group classes, group workshops. or music camps, or – if they are under 4 – learn to shake a tambourine in a nearby park as part of the school's Little Bears program.
Liana Holmberg, whose son attended Blue Bear's Get Ready to Rock summer camp, happily reports that "it was the best camp he had ever attended, and his love for music was absolutely illuminated."
The kids who jammed with Black are members of the Blue Bear teen all-star groups, Dietary Supplements and Hellaments, both of whom were educated in school. They are the last of the countless groups that have gathered there over the years.
"Blue Bear is an amazing organization and I love any group of people who spread the absolute joy of music," said Matthew Cava, a longtime student. "It's the only thing that has carried me for many years."
Blue Bear educates approximately 850 students per term. It also offers free music education classes to thousands of other San Francisco kids through public schools and community organizations.
Not bad for an idea that was conceived as a hobby by a few members of the band who anticipated a completely different career path.
"The plan was to have a little music school and teach music until we got our big break," said Savage, recalling his brief stint with the psychedelic era band Wolfgang & Strauss. "School was just a fun way to make money for us."
His group broke up two years later. But for five decades, the school continued to serve San Francisco.

Blue Bear Waltzes School of Music toured several small storefronts across town – including the space on Ocean Avenue currently occupied by Zanze's Cheesecakes – before shortening its name and becoming a staple of the Fort Mason Center in 1978.
But even this move seemed risky at first.
"For many years we thought we were going to be kicked out," Savage said. "But we hung on."
Over the years, Blue Bear has brought together several artists and groups who have performed at local venues like the Fillmore, Chapel, and Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley. It has also hosted a series of benefit concerts featuring Mavis Staples, Los Lobos and Elvin Bishop.
"I was a classical pianist, but I didn't even know what the chords were," said San Francisco musician Bonnie Hayes, who signed a contract with a major record company and wrote songs for Cher and Bette. Midler. "My teacher taught me the chords and opened up the whole world of music to me. I was there as much as I could.

The coronavirus pandemic has brought a new set of challenges for Blue Bear. When the city's non-essential businesses were forced to shut down in March 2020, the school had to cancel all of its in-person programs. In less than a week, the school switched to an online model, offering courses with its 40 music teachers.
"We learned to use Zoom very quickly," said Savage. "We discovered that for private lessons, it was not a bad alternative. But our group program disappeared and classes hobbled. We fell to about 60% of our normal income, which was a struggle. "
The school was able to survive, operating at a limited capacity, thanks to a pair of loans from the Paycheck Protection Program and help from local benefactors including the Hellman Foundation, which produces the free Hardly Strictly Bluegrass festival in Golden Gate Park.
Blue Bear reopened for in-person classes in the fall, but still operates with a hybrid model and is once again working to scale up its outreach program, which offers free classes and music education classes in underserved areas of the city such as Bayview and Tenderloin.
"It's a fight," Savage said. "Nonprofits are always limited, but we have a great staff and it's gratifying to be able to do this work. "
Savage is already looking ahead to the next 50 years.
"I had no idea how crucial Blue Bear would be in my life and become what it has become, which I think is an important cultural institution in San Francisco," said Savage. "I feel lucky and privileged."

The good news is that upgrading to OS X Snow Leopard is going to be pretty cheap for people who wisely sprung cash for Leopard. But before you buy, you better check your situation and plan the right move, money-wise.
You may have a few questions: Am I eligible for a cheap upgrade? How about a "free" upgrade? What's this about family packs? Should I be shopping for a new Mac? Not to worry, Prof. Dealzmodo will help clear things up.
Upgrading from Leopard is the easiest: $29. If you own multiple Macs, a Family pack is just $20 more: $49 for 5 users. Keep in mind, though, that Snow Leopard does not have any activation restrictions, so buying a Family Pack for two or three computers is kind of a waste of money (though using a single-Mac disc on multiple machines is technically illegal). Just remember, if you need tech support on any of your multiple machines during the 90 days that you are covered after buying the OS, you'll have to have a legit software license.
If you bought a Mac anytime after June 8, you get Snow Leopard even cheaper with the "Up-To-Date" program: $10. Sure, it's not "free" like Windows 7, but Apple sends you the install disc, and says that the $10 mostly goes to shipping and handling.
For Tiger users with an Intel-based Mac, the Mac Box Set includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iLife '09 and iWork '09 and will be available for a suggested price of $169 (US) and a Family Pack is available for a suggested price of $229 (US).
If you are an Intel Mac user running OS X 10.5 or above (Leopard), then there is no reason why you shouldn't take advantage of such an inexpensive upgrade to Snow Leopard. However, OS X 10.4 (Tiger) users will be forced to pick up one of the much pricier boxed sets that bundle Snow Leopard, iLife and iWork if they want to make the jump. iWork '09 is about $55 on Amazon, so you're getting something for your money, but it may not be what you want.
If you fall into this latter category, I would say it might be time to start looking into a new Mac with Snow Leopard and iLife '09 pre-installed, rather than putting an additional $169 into a dated machine. This is especially true if you are are still running a PowerPC, which can't be upgraded at all.
UPDATE: As Mossberg and others have noted, Tiger users with Intel processors can buy the $29 disc and upgrade to Snow Leopard without buying the Box Set or having to install Leopard first. However, Mossberg and others failed to point out that this is a breach of the license agreement. We obviously want you to know what's possible, but also what might fall into a legal gray area. The ultimate decision is yours.
From time to time, Apple abandons users of dated machines and OSes—the rationale is that it keeps them from having the heavily layered code that Windows is always criticized for. Still, if you're the guy running Tiger on an old PPC machine, you're definitely feeling like a second-rate citizen in the Apple-verse. It's time to move up... or move on.
Of course, dropping over $1000 on a MacBook might not be in the cards for everyone right now (although a Mac Mini is a relatively affordable way to get your foot in the door at $600), but it is important to consider that Apple's Up-To-Date Program offers a Snow Leopard upgrade for $10 on purchases that include qualified refurbished systems. I've said it before and I'll say it again—buying refurbished is the smarter move.

Stocks end mixed as jobs boost fades
by Ben Rooney @ben_rooney October 5, 2012: 4:14 PM ET
Click for more market data.
U.S. stocks continued to march higher this week, with the Dow and S&P 500 flirting with five-year highs. But a cloudy outlook for the global economy remains a significant drag on the market.
Despite a better-than-expected report on the U.S. job market, stocks faltered late Friday to end mixed. The Dow Jones industrial average added 0.2%, while the Nasdaq fell 0.4%. The S&P 500 ended little changed.
For the week, however, the major gauges all advanced about 1%. Following this year's gains, the Dow and S&P 500 are trading near their highest levels since 2007, while the Nasdaq continues to trade at levels that it last hit in 2000.
The Labor Department's monthly report showed employers added 114,000 jobs in September, better than the 110,000 economists surveyed by CNNMoney had expected. And the unemployment rate dropped to 7.8%, falling below 8% for the first time since early 2009.
One strategist noted that the job news was good, but not good enough to make investors forget that the economy is still growing at a sluggish pace.

"The bottom line is that the economy appears to be grinding along at a pace that is universally unsatisfying, and well short of the pace needed to ramp up the still lackluster pace of job creation and promote better household income growth," said Jim Baird, chief investment strategist for Plante Moran Financial Advisors, in a note to clients.
Investors are also concerned the U.S. economy could fall off the so-called fiscal cliff of federal spending cuts and tax hikes if Congress fails to act.
In addition, the debt crisis in Europe, where Spain and Greece are facing serious challenges, is still a threat. China's economy has also shown signs of slowing down, raising worries about one of the main drivers of global growth.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government logged a $1.1 trillion deficit in fiscal year 2012 -- marking the fourth straight year of trillion-dollar shortfalls, according to the Congressional Budget Office.

In an Exchange Server organization the address book that users see in Outlook is basically just a flat, alphabetical list of names. There's no easy way to look at the address book and work out the structure of the organization, or to tell who the most senior people are within a group. It's easy to think that "ranking" within an organization is an ego thing, the reality is that it's important in many situations to be able to quickly identify organizational structure and know who reports to who.
Exchange supports the need for visibility of an organizational structure with a feature called the hierarchical address book (HAB). Let's take a look at a simple example of how to implement hierarchical address books in an Exchange organization, using the following org structure.
The hierarchical address book is made up of a series of distribution groups that are nested in a way that matches the org structure. The distribution groups can be located anywhere you like in Active Directory, but it's useful to place them into a dedicated OU so that there's no confusion about their purpose. For this example I'm using an OU called "Hierarchical Address Book".
Create the first distribution group that will be used as the root of the hierarchy.
[PS] C:\>New-DistributionGroup "Exchange Server Pro" -OrganizationalUnit "Hierarchical Address Book"
Configure the group to be used as a hierarchical group by running the Set-Group cmdlet.
Then enable the Exchange organization to use the group as the root of the hierarchy.
[PS] C:\>Set-OrganizationConfig -HierarchicalAddressBookRoot "Exchange Server Pro"
The changes will appear in Outlook after the offline address book has updated and been downloaded by Outlook, so don't expect to see the results immediately. In fact, if you don't want to display an incomplete hierarchy to your users, just wait until you've set up all of the groups first before you enable the hierarchical address book. If you do enable it now, when everything has been updated a new "Organization" tab will appear in the address book in Outlook.
With the root of the hierarchical address book working, the next steps are to create the rest of the groups that represent the org structure, and nest them accordingly. By placing all the groups in the same OU as the first one, a single PowerShell command can be run to configure them all as hierarchical groups.
After the address book has had time to update, the new hierarchy is visible for Outlook users.
For some organizations, the default ordering of the groups in the hierarchical address book will not be suitable. In the example shown above, the organization would prefer that the Executive group appeared at the top of the list, instead of the bottom. This can be achieved by setting the seniority index on the groups. By default there is no seniority index configured on groups, but you can configure a value of up to 100, with 100 being the most senior.
Seniority can also be configured within a group, for example if you would like the manager of a team to appear at the top of the list instead of the group members being sorted in alphabetical order.
Managing the hierarchical address book is an ongoing process, not a simple one-time setup. This is particularly true of larger organizations that have a higher rate of change in the organizational structure as departments are reshuffled, people change roles, or people leave the company entirely. Maintaining the hierarchical address book needs to be baked into your workflow, for example when a person becomes the manager of a team you can update the configuration of their seniority index.
There are also some group policy controls for the hierarchical address book. One in particular should be considered – the disabling of department selection. Because of the nesting of distribution groups to form the hierarchical address book, a person who sends an email to a top-level group might not realize they are sending an email to every child group as well. You can block that behavior by enabling the "Turn off the Hierarchical Address Book department selection" in the Outlook 2016 group policy administrative template (found under Account Settings/Exchange). However, if you do need department selection to remain enabled, consider putting in place some restrictions on who can send to larger distribution groups in your organization.
Please let me know if Hierarchical Address Book support Outlook Webapp and Active Sync devices.
Going through your plural sight training videos. HAB creation. I have one question for you. Since Globomantics is the Org's HAB Root Group, shouldn't all other groups be a direct member of the Globomantics group?
Can you explain why or why not that is? from what I can tell all hab groups do not have to be a direct member of globomantics.
The groups need to be nested in the same parent/child relationship that matches your hierarchy. If you put all the groups into the HAB root group, all you'll get is a flat hierarchy.
When looking under ADUC I would have expected to see (Parent Group: Exchange Server Pro, Member Executive, Member Sales and Marketing, Member Corporate Services.
That's my confusion, how come the groups are "direct members" in aduc of the exchange server pro group?
That's my confusion, how come the groups are NOT "direct members" in aduc of the exchange server pro group?
That's what I need clarified, how come the groups are NOT "direct members" in aduc of the exchange server pro group?
If I move groups to different OUs after the address book is published, will it affect HAL?
Sorry to reply to me by myself. I tested and nothing happened to HAL.
I've been reading your posts and find it extremely useful. Even more than Technet articles since you really focus on the problem. I have a situation where I have already created HAB and nested all groups. It works fine but since now I have very complex structure I have been wondering if there is a way to export whole structure to csv format and modify seniority index . The problem is, it's not sorted by name nor seniority index.
Thanks for your time and suggestion!

Understanding Climate Change Through Religious Lifeworlds
Author: David L. Haberman
How can religion help to understand and content with the challenges of climate change? Understanding Climate Change through Religious Lifeworlds, edited by David Haberman, presents a unique collection of essays that detail how the effects of human-related climate change are actively reshaping religious ideas and practices, even as religious groups and communities endeavor to bring their traditions to bear on mounting climate challenges. People of faith from the low-lying islands of the Caribbean to the glacial regions of the Himalayas are influencing how their communities understand earthly problems and develop meaningful responses to them. This collection focuses on a variety of different aspects of this critical interaction, including the role of religion in ongoing debates about climate change, religious sources of environmental knowledge and how this knowledge informs community responses to climate change, and the ways that climate change is in turn driving religious change. Understanding Climate Change through Religious Lifeworlds offers a transnational view of how religion reconciles the concepts of the global and the local and influences the challenges of climate change.

Climate Politics and the Power of Religion
Author: Evan Berry
How does our faith affect how we think about and respond to climate change? Climate Politics and the Power of Religion is an edited collection that explores the diverse ways that religion shapes climate politics at the local, national, and international levels. Drawing on case studies from across the globe, it stands at the intersection of religious studies, environment policy, and global politics. From small island nations confronting sea-level rise and intensifying tropical storms to high-elevation communities in the Andes and Himalayas wrestling with accelerating glacial melt, there is tremendous variation in the ways that societies draw on religion to understand and contend with climate change. Climate Politics and the Power of Religion offers 10 timely case studies that demonstrate how different communities render climate change within their own moral vocabularies and how such moral claims find purchase in activism and public debates about climate policy. Whether it be Hindutva policymakers in India, curanderos in Peru, or working-class people's concerns about the transgressions of petroleum extraction in Trinidad—religion affects how they all are making sense of and responding to this escalating global catastrophe.
Faith after the Anthropocene
Author: Matthew Wickman
Recent decades have brought to light the staggering ubiquity of human activity upon Earth and the startling fragility of our planet and its life systems. This is so momentous that many scientists and scholars now argue that we have left the relative climactic stability of the Holocene and have entered a new geological epoch known as the Anthropocene. This emerging epoch may prompt us not only to reconsider our understanding of Earth systems, but also to reimagine ourselves and what it means to be human. How does the Earth's precarious state reveal our own? How does this vulnerable condition prompt new ways of thinking and being? The essays that are part of this collection consider how the transformative thinking demanded by our vulnerability inspires us to reconceive our place in the cosmos, alongside each other and, potentially, before God. Who are we "after" (the concept of) the Anthropocene? What forms of thought and structures of feeling might attend us in this state? How might we determine our values and to what do we orient our hopes? Faith, a conceptual apparatus for engaging the unseen, helps us weigh the implications of this massive, but in some ways, mysterious, force on the lives we lead; faith helps us visualize what it means to exist in this new and still emergent reality.
Returning to Q'ero
Author: Steven Webster
In this book, social anthropologist Steven Webster provides an ethnohistory of sustainability among the indigenous Andean community of Hatun Q'ero since the 1960s. He first revisits his detailed ecological research among the remote Q'ero in the high Andes of Southern Peru in 1969–1970 and 1977. At that time, Q'ero was a community comprised of several hamlets in converging valleys based primarily on alpaca herding at about 4,300 meters, and composed of about 400 persons in about 80 families. He then relies on the few ethnographies by other anthropologists to document changes in Hatun Q'ero by 2020 , spanning 1980-90s when the nation was immersed in agrarian reform followed by virtual civil war between Maoist guerrillas, the government, and the highland peasantry. Through all of these ideological and political-economic developments the sustainability of Q'ero as an integral ecological and social community as well as a famously Incaic cultural tradition becomes a global as well as national issue. This book argues that while the commercial expansion of ceremonial and shamanist tourism can be seen as extractivist similar to industrial mining, the assertive form of independence characteristic of the Q'eros appears to remain sustainable in the face of both these extractive threats. While the Q'ero community is internally reinforced by their reciprocal relationship with the same non-human forces these forms of extraction seek to exploit, they are externally reinforced by the global as well as national rise of indigeneity movements. Ironically, given the moral force developed in some aspects of shamanist tourism, it can even be argued that it supports environmental sustainability against climate change, globally as well as in Q'ero. This book analyzes the increasing importance of indigeneity in the national politics of Peru as well as the other Andean nations in the last few decades, but it remains to set this form of identity politics in its wider "intersectional" context of social class and ethnic conflict in the Andes.
Religion and World Politics
Author: Erin K. Wilson
Religion and World Politics provides a short, accessible, and practical introduction to how we can understand the place of religion in world politics in a more comprehensive, contextually relevant way. Is religion central or irrelevant, positive or negative in world politics today? So much political commentary and analysis focuses on these issues. But these are the wrong questions to be asking. Designed for practitioners, policymakers, and newcomers to the topic of religion and global politics, this book emphasises that religion is not something clear, identifiable, and definable, but is fluid and shifting. Consequently, we need analytical frameworks that help us to make sense of this ever-changing phenomenon. The author presents a critical, intersectional framework for analysing religion and applies this to case studies of three core areas of international relations (IR) analysis: (1) conflict, violence, and security; (2) development and humanitarianism; and (3) human rights, law, and public life. These cases highlight how assumptions about what religion is and does affect policymakers, theorists, and activists. The book demonstrates the damage that has been done through policies and programmes based on unquestioned assumptions and the possibilities and insights to be gained by incorporating the critical study of religion into research, policymaking, and practice. This book will be of great interest to students of global politics, IR, religion, and security studies, as well as diplomats, civil servants, policymakers, journalists, and civil society practitioners. It will also benefit IR scholars interested in developing their research to include religion, as well as scholars of religion from disciplines outside IR interested in a deeper understanding of religion and world politics.

Development and Politics from Below
Author: Barbara Bompani
Publisher: Non-Governmental Public Action
`This groundbreaking volume makes a significant contribution to an emerging field in Development Studies. Drawing from a variety of disciplines, its wide-ranging and original set of essays demonstrates the centrality of religious ideas and practices - Traditional, Christian and Islamic - to contemporary African popular culture and their capacity to shape public life and politics. Focusing on the beliefs and passions of ordinary religious adherents, the essays make a compelling case for a holistic human centred model of development and highlight the inadequacy of hitherto dominant western secular models. The collection is required reading for policy makers, practitioners and researchers working in development.'---David Maxwell, Professor of African History, Keele University, UK --
Contemplative Social Research
Author: Valerie Bentz
Contemplative Social Research brings together research and insights from scholars throughout Europe and North America, and from a variety of social science disciplines. The book argues that contemplative-based inquiry is unique in recognizing the deep oneness of humanity, since it requires embodied awareness as well as openness to the transpersonal dimensions of the human experience. No single discipline can deal with such vitally important issues as climate change, growing social inequalities, or the social impact of new digital technologies. Consequently, the book argues that only a contemplative vision that pushes the boundaries between disciplines and cultures can extend and broaden the social and human sciences. Part One focuses on conceptualizations of knowing and being. First, Zachary Walsh broadens mindfulness practice beyond various cultural, religious, and disciplinary perspectives. Valerie Bentz addresses the essentially contemplative nature of phenomenological inquiry, which is a way of being, as well as a way of knowing. Doug Porpora's "critical realism" reclaims the spiritual realm as necessary to ground moral and ethical action. Donald McCown recaps the benefits of mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs), structured as nonhierarchical groups of friends. Xavier Renteria-Uriarte views contemplation as the basis for all knowledge systems throughout human history. And Vincenzo Giorgino argues in favor of a balanced point of encounter between contemplative knowledge and social sciences. Part Two presents applications of contemplative research and practice. Krzysztof Konecki maintains that consistent meditative practices enhance the ability of social scientists to see beyond the concepts and categories that may constrain their research. Annabelle Nelson shows that contemplative psychology, along with advancements in knowledge of the brain, allow for a fundamental transformation of the mind. Luann Fortune describes her experience using the somatic and meditative practice of labyrinth-walking as a tool for opening up her interpretation of data about her participants' experiences. David Casacuberta demonstrates that the current software design for smartphones and computers-now pervasive ways of connecting-developed from a hierarchical and power-based mode of connectivity. And finally, Christopher Mare takes contemplative practice deeper into neuroscience and broader into environmental design.

Warenproduktion ist ein zentraler Begriff der marxistischen Theorie. Ihre Existenzbedingung ist die arbeitsteilige Produktion von Gütern durch selbständige Produzenten, die sie auf dem Markt austauschen. Marx nennt dieses Verhältnis der Produzenten, in dem sich Privatarbeit als allgemeine gesellschaftliche darstellt, gesellschaftliche Arbeitsteilung. Der Markttausch macht aus Produkten Waren, die als Träger von Gebrauchs- und Tauschwert wie die darin verdinglichte Arbeit einen "Doppelcharakter" erhalten. Die Verhältnisse von Personen (die realiter füreinander arbeiten) erscheinen als Verhältnisse von Dingen, die sich gegenüber ihren Produzenten verselbständigt haben (Verdinglichung, Warenfetischismus).

Marx unterscheidet zwischen einfacher und kapitalistischer Warenproduktion. Erst wenn die "Arbeit" von den Produktionsmitteln getrennt und als Lohnarbeit selbst zur Ware wird, geht die einfache in eine kapitalistische, auf Ausbeutung beruhende Warenproduktion über.

Not sure if anyone is interested in this, but single (USB RTL) dongle and Raspberry Pi 3 makes a pretty good P25 trunking scanner. I have mine on most of the time and audio is clear, clean and the operation is stable. I'm using a Raspberry Pi 3 with Rasbian Stretch, OP25 and a NooElec NESDR Mini 2 SDR & DVB-T USB Stick (RTL2832 + R820T2) with the little cheap antenna that came with it and it has no problem picking up EMS, Fire, Polic, Sherriff and more from all cities and towns in Johnson County (Texas).
Interesting, can you provide any additional details?
What would it take to be able to record multiple talk groups at the same time, say for example if police and fire are both talking at the same time (on different talk groups of course)?

The Georgia Bulldogs' Columbia High School Connection – Jeremy Price and Travis Leslie – combined for 42 points and 22 rebounds on Saturday, carrying the Dawgs over the Auburn Tigers 81-72.
Georgia (16-6; 5-4; RPI 36) got the conference win they needed yesterday, but they had to go to overtime to get it (against the worst team in the SEC).
The Dawgs looked like they finally had the game in hand when they extended their lead to 65-59 off a Gerald Robinson bucket with just 4:09 remaining. But Auburn scrapped to cut the lead to just 67-65, and then following an Ernest Ross (who finished with 30 points) steal and lay-up off of a Trey Thompkins turnover the game was tied with just 10 seconds left.
Robinson looked a bit lackadaisical bringing the ball up the floor, although he did end up getting a look at the rim but the ball wouldn't stay down.
Auburn finally went cold in the overtime, and Georgia was able to pull away and win the game.
Georgia looked semi-interested in playing on Saturday, and they were extremely careless with the ball (committing 17 turnovers to Auburn's 9). The Tigers came into the game shooting under 30% as a team from the three-point line in conference play, yet on Saturday they connected on 9 of 18 from beyond the arc. Georgia's perimeter defense (or lack there of) has been something that has plagued this team all season, and they now rank 10th in SEC in that statistic, allowing opposing teams to hit nearly 35% of their three-point shots.
But it wasn't all bad for Georgia on Saturday, as they passed the ball extremely well, finishing the game with 22 team assists (which seemed out of place considering all the turnovers). Jeremy Price had a career game, scoring 22 points and grabbing 14 boards (12 defensive) to go along with four monster dunks. Travis Leslie, who had been mired in a two-game slump, posted 20 points on Saturday, including a perfect 3 for 3 performance from beyond the arc (a career high in three-point fields in a game for him).
In his post-game show, Coach Mark Fox alluded to the fact that both Trey Thompkins and Gerald Robinson were dealing with illnesses. GR2 netted just 7 points and committed 4 turnovers, but maybe it was a Dayquil-induced effort?
Thompkins, once again, faced double-teams for a majority of the game, frustrating him into a 5 for 14 shooting effort. He did finish the game with 16 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and he scored some big points in the overtime to make up (possibly?) for his in-bounds pass turnover at the end of regulation.
It would be easy for Bulldog fans to look at the Arkansas and Auburn games and find a lot of fault in the Dawgs' play. But it should be remembered that Georgia was coming off a pretty tough week last week, with consecutive losses to SEC East rivals Florida and Kentucky.
This is a basketball team that is trying to establish itself at a school that eats, sleeps and breathes football. Winning basketball is something that Georgia hasn't played in quite some time, and the Dawgs are still learning how to win games and how to be consistent.
So I give Coach Fox's team a lot of credit. They came into the week with a 3-4 SEC record and their NCAA tournament hopes on the ropes. They didn't earn too many style points, but they did win both games and they are now 5-4 in the conference and in 3rd place in the SEC East.
The Tennessee Volunteers are one game up on the Dawgs in the conference standings, but the Vols have quite a week ahead of them with trips to Kentucky and Florida on the schedule. Georgia has another opportunity to move up in the SEC East standings this week if they can go into Columbia on Saturday and steal one from the South Carolina Gamecocks.
On Tuesday night, Georgia will go outside of the SEC to host the Xavier Mustketeers, an RPI Top 50 team and more importantly, a team that will probably be "dancing" in March.
Looks like another big week for the UGA Men's basketball team.
The defensive effort was ugly on the perimeter, but we had a bunch of blocks at least.
As you mentioned there were some moments where Georgia really passed the ball extremely well.
It was good to see Leslie have a nice offensive game.
The next step for this team is for Trey to consistently make the pass to burn the double-team.
Perimeter defense could have been better, but the fact of the matter is that Ross had one of those unconscious nights shooting the rock. The (lack of) defense that bothered me most was in the lane, where Auburn consistently drove the ball right to the rim!!! We did tighten that up a bit late in the second half & in OT, but I was dismayed how a bad SEC team so often got shots of 2-3 feet or less. I am almost relieved to find out that a virus MAY have helped to explain our lackadasical play. CMF said we played like we had a toothache. GREAT analogy for me who actually had a toothache (mild remnant of oral surgery on Thursday) while watching this turkey.
As I've said before, I assume NOTHING in the way of victories from this team. I love um to death, but as Hoop said, they are still learning how to win. I do expect them to rise to the challenge and play Xavier tough on Tuesday (hopefully winning). But I'm certainly taking neither game next week for granted. GO DAWGS!!!
Ugly wins count the same as pretty ones. I couldn't get over how we were statistically dominating Auburn after the first 5 minutes or so yet they hung right with us. Their accuracy from three-point land and our excessive turnovers probably contributed to that. Either way, when OT came, we got down to business. I'm still concerned about Jeremy not really contesting jump balls. What's up with that?
