ELSEWHERE we are printing a brief message from Rabbi Dr. Jacob
H. Kaplan of Temple Israel directed to his own members, in which he
pointedly urges them to attend Friday evening services.
We join heartily in the brief message of Rabbi Kaplan. Would that
all our rabbis throughout Florida would have the courage to drive home
as effectively as possible the message, "Saturday is for some communion
with your Maker.,,
Particularly is this message timely now. A number of young Jewish
boys and girls have organized clubs for their social enjoyment. No better
or more appropriate time could have been found (?) than Friday night.
When our Jewish boys and girls attending the university want to have
a good time, they inevitably choose Friday nights.
Will these good youngsters, and even the older folks, ever realize that
if for nothing else than self-respect they should devote Frid~ay evenings,
if no other time, to attendance at the synagogues and temple.
Well said, Rabbi Kaplan, and may there be more like you!

Anyone who has seen the pic-

exactly how I feel. (In a serious
mood, if you please!) How could
anyone feel any other way under

Through its -cool hygiene de.
apartment and 'Sichoolai -uncheonc,
Hadassah, is spreading health
knowledge among the pupils, and
through them among their par.
ents. The hygiene department su.
pervises the examination of 25,000
pupils in 266 schools. The children
are examined for contagious dis.
eases, given treatment and vacci-
nated against typhoid and small-
pox. They are taught personal hy-
giene by lecture and demonstra-
tion. When this department was
first established in 1918 forty out
of every hundred pupils in Jewish
schools were suffering from tra-
choma. The ratio has been reduced
to nine per -cent in the same
schools. This figure compares with i
the -ratio of 62 per cent in schools I
not under the supervision of the
Hiadassah hygiene department. Ten
years ago 40 per cent of the school
children were afflicted with skin
diseases; today these diseases have
been practically wiped out in these
schools. Quite recently a mental
hygiene clinic was established in
Palestine and a program of ex-
pansion in this work is being plan-
ned by experts in the field of per-
sonal psychology. The "Health
Scoirts," organized by the hygiene
department, act as sanitary n-
spectors, examining conditions in
dairies, bakeries and other food
shops and reporting their findings
and teaching the younger children
proper: hygiene.
The luncheons system in the
schools has become an important
feature of Hiadassah work. Hot
daily lunches are provided for
children in fourteen schools and
forty-eight kindergartens through
the Palestine Luncheons Fund of
Hadassah, the work of which sev-
eral years ago was recognized by
the Jewish Board of Education of
Palestine and was inclanjed in the
school curriculum as an educa-
tional feature. The meals are pre-
pa red and served by the pupils
themselves, under proper adult
supervision, and by this active
participation learn about food
values and efficient housekeeping,
a knowledge none too common in
Palestine. For the most part, the
pupils pay for the meals, even if
only a cent a meal, so that the
pauperizing element is eliminated.
The $25,000 budget required to
;carry on this work is raised chief-
ly through school children mn re-
ligious schools in America.
Hadasah has not yet been able
to establish the system of school
luncheons in all the schools of the
country under the supervision of
the Department of Education of
the Jewish Agency, but is hoping
that the work in this field will ex
pand in the future.
Through the infant welfare, pre-
natal and maternity. work, pedi-
strie service, medical school in-
spection .and Iunnheons in the
schools, children are given scien-
tific attention from pre-birth to

ceivring a sound foundation for
health and healthful iiing.

will be returned. If the money is
not returned, the lender keeps the
object, which is usually worth
more than the sum of money loan-

that he owns nothing in the world
but the clothes he wears, and the

I will hear, for I am gr cious.
(Exodus xxii., 25-26.)
When thou art making any kind
of a loan to thy neighbor, thou
shalt not go into his house to fetch
his pledge. Thou shalt stand with-
out, and the man to whom thou
lendest the money shall bring
forth the pledge outside to thee,
and if he be a poor man, thou
shalt not sleep with his pledge
when the sun goeth down, that he
mayt sleep in his garment, and
bless thee; and it shall be right-

The world has always had poor
people, and will probably always
continue to have them. For even a
rich man may, as the result of an
accident, suddenly find himself
poor. How shall we act towards
our less fortunate brothers ?
The Hebrew language has no
word for what is called charity.
Instead, we use the word "tsdo-
koh," which means righteousness.
In other words, when we help the
poor or needy, we are only doing
what is right and just. It is our
duty to do so, and we should not
expect any reward for a common
act of justice.
Let us read the laws of the Bi-
The poor shall never cease out
of the land; therefore I command
thee saying: Thou shalt surely
open thy hand unto thy poor and
needy brother. (Deuteronomy xv.,
If a fellow-countryman becomes
poor and falls beside thee, then
thou must relieve him 'and enable
him to live beside thee. (Leviticus
xxy., 85.)
Thou must give to him and give
cheerfully, and because of that,
the Lord thy God will bless thee
in all thy work and in whatever
tou 0tmdertakest. (Deuteronomy
If there be among you a needy
man, one of thy fellow-country-
men, within any of thy gates in
the land which the Lord thy God
giveth thee, thou shalt not harden
thy heart, nor shut thy hand from
your needy brother; but thou shalt
surely open thy hand unto him,
and shalt surely lend him suffi-
cient for his need in that which he
wanteth. (Deuteronomy xv., 7-8.)
You probably know that when
a person borrows money from a
friend or from a bank he usually
pays it back with interest; that is,
he pays back a little more than he
borrowed. That may be permissi-
ble today, but the Bible forbids
If thou lend money to any poor
man of My people, thou must not
be unto him as a creditor nor ex-
aict interest from him. (Exodus
xxii., 25.)
Take no interest from him in
money or kind, but fear thy Godl,
that thy brother may live with
thee. Thou shalt never ask inter-
est on thy money loans to him or
on the food which thou furnishest
him. I am the Lord your God who
brought you forth out of the land
of Egypt, to give you the Land of
Canaan, to be your God. (Leviti-
cus xxy, 36-38.)
Suppose a person lends money
to a poor man, what assurance has
he that the money will be return-

A schoolmaster was once giving

Ih shalt not steal."

One of the pupils answered

(1Well answered my little man,
said the master. "Now I'll tell
you a tale out of the Midrash. You
know that King Solomon says:
WRhosoever is partner to a thief
haet his own soul,"^' which means
that he who derives gain from a
thief by helping him to dispose of
the stolen goods is thoroughly did-
honest and the more guilty of the
"No0w, the Midrash illustrates
this proverb with the following
story: A powerful and wise prince
,nee made a law that the receiver
stolenn property should be hang-
zd, and in order to teach the peo-
ple the wisdom of his edict he or-
fered all those who questioned the
instice of the decree to meet hint
in a large field which he had pro-
pared for the occasion. The day
before they met he had the ground
pierced with a number of holes.
The people assembled, and the
prince ordered some large pieces
>f meat to be strewn all over the
Ground, and a few weasels to be
let loose. In a very short time the
Peasels disappeared down the
holes with the meat and the field
as empty.
"The next day the prince again
ssembled the company, again
spread the morsk of meat, and
Gain let loose t~h thievish wea-
lels; but he had taken the precau-
lion to have every hole and nook
Topped up. When the weasels
pounced on the meat, and ran away
Rith it to the little dens, where

?roceeds- of their theft, they found
;he holes closed against them; so
:hey dropped their spoil, and I
lon't know from the Midrash
whether they became honest of
heir own accord, but in any case
heir game was stopped.

Onee the Romans issued a de-
cree that the Jews should no long-
er occupy themselves in the study
of the Torah. Rabbi Akiba, how-
ever, was most zealous in spread-
mng a love and knowledge of the
Torah among all the Jewish com-
One day his friend Pappus met
him and spoke thus: "Akiba, art
thou not afraid ? Thou surely must
know that thy deeds will bring
thee into mortal danger!" "Stay
a while!" retorted Akiba, "let me
tell thee a story:
"A fox was walking on the brink
of a stream, in the clear waters of
which were a number of fishes
running to and fro. Said the fox to
,the fishes, 'Why do you run so?'
'We run,' replied they, 'because
we fear the fishermen's nets.,
'Come up on dry land,' said the
fox, 'and live with me in safety,
even as my forefathers once lived
in safety with yours.' But the
fishes said, 'This surely is not the
cleverest among animals that
speaks thus. Water is our natural
home. If we are not safe there,
how much less safe should we be
on land, where we must surely
"It is exactly so with us Jews,"
continued Akiba. "The Torah is
our life and the length of our
days. We may, whilst loving and
studying the Torah, be in great
danger from our enemies, but if
we were to give up its study, we
should speedily disappear and be
no more."
When Abraham was old and bent,
His oldest servant out he sent,
To look around in his old land
To find a girl for Isaac's hand.
With camels ten and gifts of gold,
As it was done in days of old
He went to seek a modest bride
Who would in Isaac's tent reside '
Hn sdmahe ra ele far oa ay,
And when he came to tNahor's gate
He sat bsid a wel to wait.
And when Rebekah came along,
Up to the well with joyous song,
She said, "I'll get a drink for you,
And water for your camels, too."
He asked the girl to tell her name,
To tell him from what place she
He said, "You've been so kind to
That Isaac's bride you ought to
Then to the girl her father said,
That Isaac he would let her wed.
So from her father's home she
To marry Isaac in his tent.

-From the Talmud.
According to our rabbis, Moses
was instructed to give the Israel-
ites six hundred and thirteen com-
mandments. David reduced them
all to eleven in the fifteenth
Psalm: "Lord, who shall dwell on
Thy holy hill? He that walketh
uprightly, and worketh righteous-
ness, and speaketh the truth in his
heart. He that backbiteth not with
his tongue, nor doeth evil to his
neighbor, nor taketh up a reproach
against his neighbor. In whose
eyes a vile person is despised; but
he honoreth them that fear the
Lord. He that sweareth to his own
hurt, and changeth not. He that
putteth not out his money to us-
ury, nor taketh reward against the
innocent. He that doeth these
things shall never be moved,"
The Prophet Isaiah reduced them
to six (xxxiii., 15): He that walk-
eth righteously, and speaketh up.
rightly; he that despiseth the gain

stoppeth his ears from hearing of
blood, and shutteth his eyes from
seeing evil.
The Prophet Micah reduced
them to three (v. 8): W~hat does
the Lord required of thee but to
do justly, and to love mercy, and
to walk humbly with thy God ?
Isaiah once more reduced them
to two (v. 1): Keep ye judgment
and do justice.
Amos (v. 4) reduced them all to
one: Seek ye me and ye shall live.
But lest it might be supposed
from this that God could be found

length his reflections became too
deep to be uttered before them.
Then came the eighth day, when
the whole row burns, even the
faithful ninth, the servant, which 1
on other nights is used only for
the lighting of others. A great
splendor streamed from the Me-
norah. The children's eyes glisten-
ed. But for our friend all this was
the symbol of the enkindling of a
nation. When there is but one
light, all is still dark, and the soli-
tary light looks melancholy. Soon
it finds one companion, then an-
other, and another. The darkness
must retreat. The light comes first
to the young and the poor--then
others join who love Justice,
Truth, Liberty, Progress, Human-
ity, and Beauty. When all the
candles burn, then we must all
stand and rejoice over the achieve-
tnent. And no office can be more
blessed than that of a Servant sf
the Light.

His Jewish origin and the faith
of his fathers had long since
ceased to trouble him, when sud-
denly the old hatred came to the
surface again in a new mob-cry.
With many others he believed
that this flood would shortly sub-
side. But there was no change for
the better; and every blow, even
though not aimed directly at him,
struck him with fresh pain, till
little by little his soul became one
bleeding wound. These sorrows,
buried deep iti his heart and sil-
enced there, evoked thoughts of
their origin and of his Judaism;
and now he did something he could
not perhaps have done in the od d
days--he began to love his Juda-
isni with an intense fervor.
Although in his own eyes he
could not, at first, clearly justify
this hew yearning, it became so
powerful at length that it crys-
tallized from vague emotions into
a definite idea which he must
needs express. It was the convic-
tion that there was only one solu-
tion for this moral misery--the re-
turn to Judaism.
Hitherto he had permitted to
pass by unobserved the holiday
which the wonderful apparition of
the Maccabees had illumined for
thousands of years with the glow
of miniature lights. Now, how-
ever, he made this holiday an op-
portunity to prepare something
beautiful which should be forever
commemorated in the minds of his
children. In their young souls
should be implanted early a stead-
fast devotion to their ancient peo-
ple. He bought a Menorah, and
when he held this nine-branched
ca dle tick in hst anghe oo rthe
over him. In his father's house
also the lights had once burned in
his youth, now far away, and the
recollection gave him a sad and
tender feeling for home. The tra-
dition was neither cold nor dead
-thus it had passed through the
ages, one light kindling another.
The mere sound of the nam:-,
which he now pronounced every
evening to his children, gave him
great pleasure. There was a lov.

On the first night the candle

day explained. The wonderful in-

ylonian exile, the second Temple,

children all he knew. It was not
very much, to be sure; but it serv-
ed. When the second candle was
lit, they repeated what he had told
them; and though it had all been
learned from him, it seemed to him
quite new and beautiful. In the
days that followed, he waited
keenly for the evenings which be-
came ever brighter. Candle after

Musical Performance: Second Annual Maqam Fest
Fri, January 11, 2013 7:30 pm at Alwan for the Arts
(View all musical performances »)
Co-produced with the Center for Traditional Music and DanceMaqam Fest is Alwan's biggest annual music event, showcasing six of the most exciting ensembles from New York and around the U.S., each bringing its own unique approach and variation on maqam music. Developed more than a millennium ago, maqam is a complex system of musical modes and represents one of the great legacies of the Arab-Islamic world. Maqam pervades the musical cultures from the Maghreb (Northwest Africa) to Western China, from the Balkans to the Sudan. Maqam Fest 2013 celebrates a line-up that pays tribute to this long-honored tradition and alluring geographic spectrum, featuring ancient traditions, explorations of historic ties between musical styles, and contemporary compositions and improvisations.
This year's Maqam Fest line-up includes:
Sufi and Ottoman Classical music from Turkey
New Andalucia
This showcase is part of the annual Association of Performing Arts Presenters (APAP) Conference. One of the most anticipated events of the performing arts field, this convention brings thousands of presenters, agents, managers, artists from around the country and the world in the fields of dance, theater, and music to New York City each January.
Advance: $30 General Admission | $25 for Students, Members and Seniors. BUY NOW* (*A small online fee is applied - use printout as your ticket).

Doors open at 6:45 p.m.
Praise for Maqam Fest 2012
"The best show of the [APAP] weekend was the first annual Maqamfest at Alwan for the Arts…the players on the bill were not only some of the most important and creative Middle Eastern musicians outside the Middle East: they're some of the most important and creative Middle Eastern musicians anywhere in the world. They make their home at Alwan for the Arts downtown, where a vital, cutting-edge scene has evolved. What the Paris salons of a hundred years ago were for classical, the 52nd Street clubs were for jazz in the forties and fifties and what CBGB was for punk rock in the 70s, Alwan for the Arts is for music from the Middle East now. Unsurprisingly, the acts on the bill each brought classical purism, jazzlike improvisation and some punk rock fearlessness too." (more) - Lucid Culture
Maqam Fest 2013 Line Up
The ALWAN ARAB MUSIC ENSEMBLE
The resident ensemble of Alwan for the Arts, the Alwan Ensemble delivers a joyful and transporting feast of well-loved classical songs from the greater Arab World, built around mesmerizing textures of rhythmic and improvisational intensity. In the classical art music traditions of Cairo, Aleppo, and Baghdad—three important Arab cities with great legacies in art and culture—each has a unique repertory: the dawr and qasida of Cairo; the Andalucían muwashshahat of Aleppo; and al-maqam al-Iraqi of Baghdad; with distinct characteristics, rules, and aesthetics. Yet all adhere to the maqam and place great importance on poetry and the vocal melody sung either by a soloist or a chorus, and accompanied by ensembles of traditional instruments, including the oud (lute), qanun (zither), nay (flute), violin, santur (hammered dulcimer), riqq (tambourine), and tabla (goblet drum).
Six contemporary masters of a broad range of Arab musical idioms display their seasoned sensibilities and impressive technique across a diverse array of musical selections from regional folk songs to masterpieces of Egyptian cinema and Arab concert hall culture. The Alwan Ensemble's performance evokes ambiances of Cairo, Baghdad, al-Quds and Aleppo, but more importantly that of contemporary New York with its own vibrant Arab American artistic and intellectual community.

In 711 A.D., Arabs first crossed Gibraltar into Iberia. For the next eight centuries a tremendous exchange would take place. Great minds, ideas and art would cross the strait back and forth and create a rich mix that transcended the boundaries of religion, ethnicity and language. It is in this esthemus, this land in between, that giants such as Averroes, Maimonides, Alfonso El Sabio and Zyriab would emerge. Thirteen centuries later, New Andalucia's musicians strive to recreate this era through their music as immigrants in New York City.

The commanding, luscious voice of Eva Salina brings a distinctive new sound to a historically male repertoire. This newly-formed, all-star group performs re-imagined songs of Balkan Romani legends from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. A native of Santa Cruz, California, Eva has been studying, performing and teaching Balkan music since she was a young child. She has studied with some of the greatest living singers of Balkan traditional music. Eva's rich, versatile, agile, deep and powerful voice and her enthusiastic, skillful, inspired and inspiring teaching have led her to quickly become known as a preeminent singer, interpreter, and teacher of Traditional Balkan vocal music, singing through the traditions of Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia, Serbia, Turkey and the Romani people. She has also studied Georgian, Corsican, Traditional American, and Ukrainian singing. Eva has collaborated to varying degrees (performing, touring, recording, and teaching) with many Balkan and American musicians, including Slavic Soul Party!, Which Way East, Kadife, Veveritse, Choban Elektrik, Seido Salifoski's Romski Boji, Édessa, Tzvetanka Varimezova, Italian Balkan/Jazz Project Opa Cupa, and KITKA. Eva received a B.A. in Ethnomusicology from UCLA, where she studied with Tzvetanka Varimezova. From 2009-2011, Eva toured primarily with Ash (Æ), a vocal duo focused on the traditions of the Balkans, Appalachia, Caucasus Georgia, and Corsica. Currently, Eva is developing her own band, Eva Salina, featuring many prominent New York-based musicians, as well as various other collaborations based in New York, Los Angeles, and Europe. Eva resides in Brooklyn, NY, and performs and teaches nationally and internationally at camps, workshops and festivals.

Led by violinist/composer Dena El Saffar, Salaam has delighted audiences for years with its expansive repertoire of Middle Eastern and North African music. Salaam is true to the traditions, informing the uninitiated, and evoking nostalgia in listeners who are familiar with the art form. What sets Salaam apart is the versatility of its musicians, whose deep knowledge of Eastern and Western styles gives them the flexibility to move effortlessly between genres. Dena El Saffar's compositions take advantage of this, creating a sound rooted in maqam (the modal system used throughout the Middle East), with forays into Balkan, Rock, Blues, and Classical styles . Salaam, whose name means peace in Arabic, is a musical ambassador for peaceful coexistence. Dena El Saffar, of Iraqi and American heritage, was exposed to Arabic music in the suburbs of Chicago, where she grew up attending Iraqi gatherings with her family. She began learning the violin at the age of six. At age 17, completely engaged in classical music, she accompanied her father to Baghdad and fell in love with the music of Iraq and the Middle East. In 1993, while obtaining a classical music degree from Indiana University, she founded Salaam.

SSAHHA is a North African ensemble led by Moroccan pianist, percussionist and composer Amino Belyamani. He and his ensemble of masterful musicians create melancholic and festive melodies accompanied by hypnotic North African grooves. Amino tunes his pianos according to alternative tuning systems, as opposed to Western equal temperament, creating a unique sound both for the piano and the band.
Born and raised in Casablanca, Morocco, Amino Belyamani began playing the piano by the age of six. Throughout his childhood and adolescence, he participated in many national and international piano competitions and received several awards and first prizes from renowned international pianists such as France Clidat. Before even graduating from high school, he had acted the lead role in a short movie directed by Lahcen Zinoun entitled Le Piano, where he performed as the lead piano player with Morocco's national philharmonic orchestra. After a couple of years spent in France, Belyamani left for the United States to absorb improvisational musical forms at the California Institute of the Arts. As well as being a pianist, Amino plays traditional Moroccan folk percussion and Ghanaian drums. He has also composed music for both instrumental and electro-acoustic traditions. Amino has recorded original compositions on four consecutive jazz compilations at the prestigious Capitol Records under the EMI record label. Amino's music reflects the diversity of his interests, which usually translates into a blend of complex african rhythms, arabic melodies, western classical music, and jazz.

Ahmet Erdoğdular is one of Turkey's foremost vocalists, noted for his role in preserving the classical singing style of the Ottoman Turkish musical tradition, in addition to his powerful, expressive voice, and sophisticated vocal technique. Erdoğdular started studying music at an early age with his father, neyzen Ömer Erdoğdular, and continued his musical development under the guidance of the renowned musician Niyazi Sayın. He is specialized in Turkish makam and gazel (improvisation) techniques of the late Ottoman period, with an emphasis on matching poetry to music so that the literary
substance and the musical composition are equally represented when performing vocal improvisations. Ahmet also performs centuries-old Sufi musical repertoire that integrates spiritual practice and artistic expression. Ahmet has participated in various festivals in Turkey, Europe, Asia and the United States, performing both Ottoman classical and Sufi music, and is president and artistic director of Makam New York, Inc., a non-profit organization for Turkish classical music and arts. His two recent albums, Songs of the Sultans-Masterpieces of Turkish Classical Music and Niyaz-Sufi Songs of Love, have received worldwide acclaim.

text: Changes to some employer-sponsored health insurance plans are making it more expensive to get prescription drugs. So here are ways to keep down costs. By Kimberly Lankford, Contributing Editor September 20, 2007 In your Check Your Health Coverage column last week, you talked about employer plans switching from co-payments to co-insurance, which can increase the out-of-pocket costs for people with expensive drugs. How does this work, and what are some good tools to help find lower-priced alternatives?The new rules make it even more valuable to find low-priced drugs. In the past, many health insurance plans charged fixed co-payments of $10 or so whenever you filled a prescription -- no matter how much the drug actually cost. But now they're charging co-insurance, which is based on a percentage of the drug's cost. The higher the price, the more you'll pay. Sponsored Content And insurance plans are adding an extra incentive to find generic alternative. Not only are they charging you a percentage of the drug's cost, but also they're charging different co-insurance rates based on the level of drug. Advertisement For example, they're charging 10% of a generic drug's cost, 20% for a brand-name drug on the plan's approved list, and 30% for a brand-name drug not on the formulary, says Dave Guilmette, managing director of health and welfare consulting for Towers Perrin. So if you find a generic alternative, for example, you'll pay a lower percentage of a lower-priced drug's cost. If you're taking a high-priced brand-name drug, ask your doctor if you may substitute a drug on the formulary or a generic for your current prescription. Go to Rxaminer.com to search for generic alternatives or, if there isn't a generic, for lower-priced drugs with a similar effect. Rxaminer creates a prescription drug pricing report, listing the retail and mail-order cost of that drug as well as generic and other alternatives. Plus, it provides other strategies for cutting your costs (such as pill splitting). Before you take any action, present the report to your doctor to find out whether it's safe for you to make the change. The company also provides customized versions of the site to several large employers, insurance companies and prescription benefits managers, with details about the coverage and co-insurance costs for each drug under that specific health insurance policy. Advertisement Another great resource is CRBestBuyDrugs.org, which includes detailed drug reports discussing how the drug works, as well as information about price and effectiveness and recommendations for low-cost generics. Your health insurance company may also have Web-based tools to help you compare drug costs within your plan -- based on the specific co-insurance rates -- and may even list prices at several local and mail-order pharmacies. Got a question? Ask Kim at email@example.com.

Browsing Working papers by Subject "values"
Now showing items 1-2 of 2
Negotiating Values in the Creative IndustriesMoeran, Brian; Strandgaard Pedersen, Jesper (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper looks at creative industry events – in particular fairs and festivals – and at how they provide a venue for the (re)enactment of institutional arrangements in a particular industry field, as well as for the negotiation and affirmation of different values that underpin them. Tracing the study of such field configuring events back to studies in economic anthropology and sociology, the authors of the paper argue that it is the notion of values that underpins fairs, festivals, awards, auctions and similar events. Going beyond the economist's notion of 'Value' in the singular, the paper posits that, in order to understand the relationship between culture and economy, we need to consider a plurality of material/technical, social, situational, appreciative and functional values when examining how economic Value is derived from creative products. It is these values that are continuously being (re)negotiated and transacted by those participating in creative industry fairs and festivals. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7982

Moeran, Brian (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper starts from the premise that all forms of socio-economic behaviour are motivated and underpinned by values of one kind or another. The study of culture is thus a study of the values that constitute that culture. In their plural form, values constitute our socio-cultural beliefs and moral principles. However, in its singular form, value relates to economic utility, price and worth. The aim of this working paper is to examine the relation between economic and cultural values which, it is argued, constitute a field of values that are (re)produced, negotiated and transacted in the context of creative products. This field consists of technical, affective, social, situational, appreciative and functional values. Together these create a qualitative symbolic exchange value which is often then exchanged for a quantitative economic value. The paper outlines how each of these values works and interacts with other values in the context of creative industries. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7971

Light fermentation in the secondary - when to bottle/keg
What went wrong? Was this supposed to happen? Should I throw it out? What do I do now?

Light fermentation in the secondary - when to bottle/keg
I have a wheat beer in the secondary (see SuperWheat recipe in library) that should be close to ready to mini-keg, but there are still pinpoint bubbles rising and a 1/4 inch light foam ring at the top. Brewed 6/16 OG 1.058, racked 6/27 SG 1.009 (yep) with absolutely no activity. The only addition to the secondary was 1 Tbs of dried orange peel boiled in 1 cup water and cooled. SG is still 1.009, but the tiny bubbles are still rising after 11 days. Since I am using mini-kegs, the priming rate is lower than bottles, but you can still ruin the keg (I know from experience) or worse if the carbonation is high. Current plan is to give it 3 more days, recheck SG and keg if no further reduction. I'll probably cut back some on the priming sugar if the activity is still there. Any other suggestions? Thanks.
Late Bubbles
Is it possible that the beer has been warming up, perhaps if the weather has been getting hot? That can drive a little of the dissolved CO2 out of solution and mimic yeast activity, if the gravity isn't changing.

Late Bubbles
Thanks, Slothrob. That is a possibility, but I ferment and condition in my finished, heated/cooled basement where the temperature is a pretty constant 70-72 F. The bubble flow, although light, has been continuous for over a week and does not appear to fluctuate. I guess I am pretty safe mini-kegging if the SG does not drop anymore and I under prime because I can always throw CO2 on it in the mini.

Post subject: Dynamics of Prana Feeding
Hi All -
How is prana nourishment possible???
The Source of energy that is behind all Creation, whatever name you want to put to it is everywhere, within and without, creates all form and sustains all forms of life and it is also residing in our atoms which make up the trillions of cells of our body, therefore it is feeding us. This is a Quantum field of Supreme Loving Intelligence, referred to by some as the God everywhere within and without. The life force = force that gives us life. This force of eternal Light, love, bliss, joy and all of God?s heavenly qualities within each atom runs the bloodstream, the cells, the molecules, the organs, the glands and all the biological actions of the physical body. Our bio-system actually produces prana naturally within all our cells. One being nourished by prana is matter of frequency, how well we can tap into and our continual focus on this inner God and our frequency is determined by factors such as our thinking patterns, our feeling patterns, our dietary habits and lifestyle choices.
So particularly in the West for someone to be able to live off prana without the need to eat their frequency has to be refined through particular practises such as meditation, programming, yoga, pranayama etc. The fact is Prana sustains everyone and gives life to everything. You could be pumped full of oxygen and food but if the supply of prana from source was cut off you be lifeless very quickly. Most people?s reality is on the world being external or outside of them. In reality nothing exists outside of ourselves as the outer world is a reflection of our internal thought projections which creates the reality we experience.
Our doctors/scientists love to make up fancy sounding names for dis-eases and then look to some biological factor in the body to determine how the disease may been caused, when all dis-ease is created through blocked energy flow initiated by negative thought/feeling patterns, lack of exercise, poor dietary choices etc where prana can?t feed the cells in their natural state of perfect health. Similarly the nutritionists have made up terms like vitamin A, vitamin B6, omega 3, zinc, potassium etc. and then tell us we have to eat a wide range of particular foods to make sure we get a balanced diet and obtain our energy requirements this way. Being externally focussed makes us think things we need to happy and healthy come from outside of us, like physical food, a lovely house or a lover. This is because of seeing the world in a fragmented view where everything is separate from one another. In the Prana reality IT IS ALL JUST ENERGY and the energy is THE LOVE WITHIN. One of the best things we can do is to radiate Love from our heart to every single cell in our body and then out into the world, telling our cells with great sincerity over and over how much we love them. As the cells are open and receptive to our thoughts and feelings they will respond very lovingly we do this simple practise.

Post subject: Dynamics of Prana Feeding.
I came across an interesting tit-bit in one of the text books that i have to study for my Naturopathy Course,and it co-related with one of Jasmuheen's techniques in her fabulous book - "The Law of Love" - as well as one of Mantak Chia's techniques of internal Qi/Prana cultivation for the "production" of what's considered the "Golden Elixir" in Taoist practices,or alternatively "The Fountain of Youth",or "Amrita" in the Tantric/Yogic texts/practices...from "Fundamentals of Complimentary and Integrative Medicine"(from the chapter on Traditional Chinese Medicine" - Kevin V.Ergil - this could be used either by those that are interested in cultivating Prana for added health,or for those that are "transitioning" to LOL,or even for those of us that are at the stage where we are considering transitioning eventually to being fluid free,as practices like this actually enhance the "inner/internal hydration" for the body's needs) - ..."the exercise is begun by breathing naturally and allowing the mind to become calm.The upper and lower teeth are clicked together by closing the mouth 36 times.As saliva is produced,it is retained in the mouth,swirled with the tongue,and then swallowed in three parts while one imagines that it is flowing in to the middle of the chest and then to an area about three fingerbreadths below the navel(the "Dan Tian" - or "cinnabar field",or the "inner central sun"...).At this point,one imagines that one is sitting in front of a reservoir of white qi(Prana)that enters the mouth on inhalation and is transmitted through the body as on exhales,first to the lungs,then to the "Dan Tian",and finally out to the skin and body hair.This process of visualization is repeated 18 times(as in 36 "clicks" of the teeth upon inhaling and exhaling - whilst visualizing either "white qi' or the "cosmic ocean" - swirling in the mouth before swallowing and distributing to the whole body-as per the above steps x18).This process makes use of the relationship between the mind and qi to strengthen the function of the lungs(and also the entire physical AND energy system!)and to pattern areas of the body associated with the are awhere the qi that governs the lungs and respiration is stored".Just some thought for food/food for thought!!! - Love and light - Hara Namah XXXOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
