The Project on Prosperity and Development will host the Creating Shared Value Conference as part of its ongoing work on the role of the private sector in addressing enduring socioeconomic challenges in the world's poorest countries. Join us for a discussion on ways to maximize shared value between businesses and the often rural communities in which they operate. The conference will build on the energy generated by Nestlé's Creating Shared Value Annual 2014 report to discuss innovative ways government and civil society can work with the private sector to achieve rural development goals. This event is made possible with support from the Nestlé Corporation.

NHS Values Summits bring together a diverse range of people and perspectives to foster greater understanding of how peoples' differences, social status and cultural expectations can affect their experiences of health and care.
Held on a quarterly basis across the country, each summit promotes values-based ways of working and explores a different theme relating to equality, health inequalities and human rights.
The theme of this NHS Values Summit, held on 18th September 2013, was entitled 'Making it happen in Greater Manchester: Integrated care across organisations'. Patient-centred care that is well co-ordinated across care settings and over time is better for all but can particularly benefit patients with long-term, chronic or complex conditions and those who may find it difficult to 'navigate' the health care system.
The Greater Manchester summit was held during National Recovery Month. This provided an opportunity for people to share their recovery stories with others and celebrate their successes, promoting the benefits of prevention, treatment and recovery for those experiencing mental health or substance misuse issues.
As a celebration of shared learning and partnership working, NHS England is pleased to welcome patients and the public, representatives from health and social care, and stakeholders from the private and voluntary/community sectors to these important events.

A Stagecoach Manchester Megarider. Not only is it dated 12/12/12 but cost £12.
The next time this will happen will be on December 12 2112. Will the bus ticket be £12 then? More like a million quid!
Taken for Macro Mondays, this week's theme: Moolah!
monetary value detail from a 1973 Canadian one dollar bill
Points of Interest:
The one dollar bill was replaced by the one dollar coin, named the loonie in 1987
The Canadian two dollar bill was replaced by the two dollar coin, named the "toonie" in 1996
Both bills are currently out of circulation
Lots of detail when viewed LARGE
David Ellis – “True Value” @ Joshua Liner Gallery.
At the Joshua Liner Gallery is True Value, Barnstormer David Ellis‘ first solo exhibition with the gallery. The multi-talented Ellis showed an exciting and varied collection of new and recent work, including paintings, videos and his 2011 Pulse Prize-winning kinetic sound sculpture True Value (Paint Fukette).
In May of 2005 a UP local job is switching the True Value paint factory in Cary, IL. Soon rail service would end to this plant. It later became Fox Valley Systems and closed after a fire in 2013.
For more information about rail served industries along the Chicago & North Western (and later UP) Harvard Subdivision (aka Metra Northwest Line) please see my all-time listing of customers. It goes from Clybourn Junction to the Wisconsin border.

Peace Child Israel Jewish and Arab Students Learn Values of Coexistence through Theater
On March 28, students from Gymnasia Herzliya, a Jewish school in North Tel Aviv, and Ironi Yud-Bet, an Arab school in Jaffa, performed a bilingual adaptation of the Broadway musical “West Side Story.” The performance is the culmination of a reconciliation program created by Peace Child Israel, a non-profit arts organization that uses theater to teach democratic values, coexistence and mutual respect to students across the political divide in Israel. This program is sponsored by a USAID Conflict Management and Mitigation grant monitored by the Embassy’s Public Affairs Section. In preparation for the performance, the students spend months in rehearsal where the script serves as a trigger to breakdown ethnic stereotypes.
Soldiers from the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Australian Regiment capture a 'high-value prisoner during a raid on an 'enemy' camp at the Tully Training Area during Exercise Hamel 2014.
Exercise Hamel 2014 (7 July – 1 August 2014) is the Australian Army’s annual Foundation War-fighting exercise designed to assess and certify both the 6th Combat Support Brigade and 3rd Brigade with their assigned Force Elements as having the necessary skills to conduct future operations.
Around 5,000 personnel are taking part in the 25-day exercise, including troops from the New Zealand Defence Force, United States Army and United States Marine Corps along with members from across the wider Australian Defence Force.
Exercise Hamel 2014 is currently being conducted throughout the Atherton Tablelands and various Defence Training Areas in North Queensland. The Australian Army’s mission is to provide the Australian Government with a ready, relevant and agile land force.
I found all this at Value Village, all told for $72 No sets are complete, all are missing at least 1 or two minifigs, smaller items in the set, and a couple cases had some glue on them, most notable the TIE advanced. Still one heck of a deal.

“True Value” —the first exhibition by Theaster Gates (Chicago, 1973) in Milan— brings together a selection of existing works and new commissions in two different spaces at Fondazione Prada.
The Cisterna features works in which the artist explores habitual, everyday things, immersed in the most evocative Black aesthetics. Gates operates on the conviction that everyday objects convey a deep understanding, not only intrinsic to their material aspect, but reminiscent of the experiences in which they have been immersed. In that sense, discarded materials involving collective memories constitute the catalyst for a political and aesthetic reflection on cultural renewal and social activism. Fire hoses used against demonstrators during the US Civil Rights movements in the 1960s or gym floors from dozens high schools closed and fallen into oblivion, swept under an unbeatable neoliberal economic agenda, turned into artworks in which formalism is not just a mere visual factor. This transformative ethos, from which a symbolic universal value emanates, is key in Gates’s practice. These everyday objects, together with other items and elements referencing more ritualistic and spiritual experiences, shape the proposal offered to the public in the Cisterna.
On the first floor of the Podium, Gates hosts True Value (2016) —the installation after which the exhibition is named— which presents his rendition of an abandoned hardware store. True Value gathers materials, objects and tools removed from their original context and relocated in an art environment, deploying a framework to formulate a poetic and pragmatic space around objects of trade and human relationships those economic and labour exchanges create.
The exhibition is a further opportunity to explore certain nearby cultural and commercial entities, observing local stories, socio-political patterns, and economically and culturally under-explored communities in the hope of setting in motion a new cartography through which to visit and engage an overlooked Milan. Lastly, in a space in the likes of an artist’s studio or craftsman’s workshop, artworks created throughout the duration of the show will be on display.
The exhibition spaces will host a series of public meetings, titled “True Value in conversation”, by means of debates and readings. The first meeting will be held on the first floor of the Podium Thursday 7 July at 6 pm and will open with a gathering between Theaster Gates, Elvira Dyangani Ose and Thelma Golden, Director and Chief Curator of the Studio Museum in Harlem, New York. Notably known for exhibitions such as “Black Male: Representations of Masculinity in Contemporary American Art” (2014) and the 1993 edition of the Whitney Biennial, Thelma Golden will join the artist and the curator of the show “True Value” to discuss art and its capacity to transform institutions, history re-writing and social practice. Admission is free. Complimentary tickets can be collected at the ticket desk from 5.30 pm.
Gates’s practice embraces a wide range of disciplines and a variety of artistic vocabularies – sculpture, painting, installation art, music and performance – as well as urban development and social practice. Starting on the South Side of Chicago, St Louis and Omaha where his first initiatives on art and social activism took place, Gates has subsequently advised individuals and organizations in other US cities (Detroit, Akron, and Gary, to name just a few) on how to conceive and carry out initiatives aiming to regenerate deprived urban areas by merging pragmatism and creativity, urban planning and “artistic gestures”. Internationally, Gates has also reflected on the capacity of art to renew traditions, upraise connectivity among communities or set up dialogues and exchange cultural heritage among cities through his projects, such as those in Istanbul, Bristol or Kassel. Some of his propositions have generated solid institutions, such as the Rebuild Foundation. Gates holds a chair at the Department of Visual Arts at Chicago University where he supervises the Arts and Public Life program.
