Buckinghamshire Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) 2022 to 2025 consultation
Closed 24 Jul 2022
Opened 23 May 2022
Healthy Dialogues
pna@healthydialogues.co.uk
Feedback updated 1 Nov 2022
We asked
All Health and Wellbeing Boards (HWB) have a responsibility to publish a Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA).
The purpose of the PNA is to:
Support local commissioners in decisions about services delivered by community pharmacies
Support NHS England in their decision-making process. This is related to applications for new pharmacies or changes at existing pharmacies
We consulted on the draft PNA for Buckinghamshire from 23 May to 24 July 2022.
We received 36 responses to the consultation, 29 via the consultation survey.
29 responses were from members of the public, the other responses were from:
Jardines Pharmacy
Pharmacyspace
Boots UK Limited
Berryfields Parish Council
Healthwatch Buckinghamshire
Swan Practice, Buckingham
A number of survey respondents to did not agree with the findings:
14% felt that the PNA reflected the current provision of pharmacy services within their area and agreed with the conclusions
79% felt there were gaps in service provision where the PNA did not find any
We received 17 comments about the Berryfields Estate development.
For more information about the consultation responses, please see 'Appendix D - Consultation report' Buckinghamshire Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment 2022 to 2025 (PDF 5.30MB).
We did
On 22 September 2022, the Health and Wellbeing Board reviewed the draft PNA and consultation responses.
The Buckinghamshire Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment 2022 to 2025 (PDF 5.3MB) was adopted to cover 1 October 2022 to 30 September 2025.
Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment steering group response to the consultation:
The steering group appreciates the time and consideration that members of the public and stakeholders have taken to respond. The group acknowledges the enthusiasm for a pharmacy within the Berryfields Estate.
The PNA is carried out using a fair and systematic process set out by the Department of Health and Social Care. It is also reviewed by the HWB every three years or if there are changes in local pharmacy provision, or local need.
The steering group reviewed the provision of pharmacy services for the Berryfields Estate development. They considered the current population, projected population increases, accessibility, deprivation and population make-up.
The PNA considers that there are no gaps in the current and future provision of essential services to 30 September 2025.
The HWB will review the conclusions periodically in response to any unforeseen changes in pharmacy provision up to 2025. It also recommends a review of its findings considering the progression of the Berryfields Estate development in the next PNA.
For more information about the steering group's response, please see 'Appendix D - Consultation report' Buckinghamshire Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment 2022 to 2025 (PDF 5.30MB).
We want to hear your views on the draft Pharmaceutical Needs Assessment (PNA) for Buckinghamshire.
There are 85 community pharmacies in Buckinghamshire. There is also one local pharmaceutical service (LPS) contractor. The LPS provides a tailored pharmacy service to the local area it serves.
The HWB is required to consult with specific organisations as part of this process. We also welcome views from residents in Buckinghamshire.
Health and Wellbeing Board statements on service provision
The Board has assessed whether the current and future provision meets the needs of the people in Buckinghamshire.
It has also determined whether there are any gaps in pharmacy services. This can be either now or within the lifetime of this document, 1 October 2022 to 30 September 2025.
The Board has concluded:
Buckinghamshire is well served in relation to the number and location of pharmacies
There are no gaps in current and future access
No need for improvements or better access were identified
How the draft PNA has been developed More Information
The Board commissioned Healthy Dialogues to conduct their PNA for October 2022.
In January 2022, a steering group was formed to oversee the process and to ensure that it met statutory regulations. The steering group is chaired by Buckinghamshire CCG.
The draft report has been produced by looking at:
the demographics and health needs of the population
the current pharmacy network and its services
a survey to Buckinghamshire patients and the public on their use and expectations of pharmacy services
a survey to Buckinghamshire pharmacy contractors
an assessment of NHS Pharmacy services commissioned in Buckinghamshire
Buckinghamshire Health and Wellbeing Board More Information
The Health and Wellbeing Board partnership helps Councillors, GPs and other partners to work together to improve health and wellbeing in Buckinghamshire.
The aim of the Board is to find ways of improving the health of the local population and reduce inequalities in health.
We have assessed the needs of pharmaceutical services for the local population in 2022 and in the next three years.
We want to hear your views on the draft Buckinghamshire PNA to:

IELTS Speaking Part 3 topic: Art
Leave a Comment / Speaking / By [email protected]
1. Describe the general purpose of art. And say why do people enjoy art?
2. Do you think that art is as important as academic subjects when it comes to educating children?
3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of art education?
4. Why do you think some people enjoy looking at paintings and sculptures and others do not?
5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being an artist?
6. Do you think that some people are naturally better artists than others?
Q. 1. Describe the general purpose of art. And say why do people enjoy art?
Answer: We, humans, are "unique" in our existence and experience. Therefore, it is only natural that we have our needs and expectation that are unique as well. But among those unique needs and expectation, that separates us from animals, enjoying art seems to be something that makes us "truly" unique as humans.
So, what is the general purpose of art? Well, the answer is, art helps us to look at ourselves little "closer" in a different light by explaining our desire and expectation in more details which otherwise wouldn't be possible. With the help of art, we are able to communicate our social, political, cultural and spiritual ideas in a much more organized manner so that we feel "challenged" to rethink over the issues and the subjects that are affecting us and our surroundings on a daily basis.
We enjoy art because it stimulates our hearts and minds to appreciate our lives in a more positive light. We enjoy art also because it makes us feel "different" by combining our "unusual motifs" that weave their way into our "subconscious" (or the "hidden" us) and alter our mood so that we feel free to travel into a different realm.
Q. 2. Do you think that art is as important as academic subjects when it comes to educating children?
Answer: Pablo Picasso once said that "every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up". Therefore, offering children the much-needed space to create, to explore and to express themselves through art is absolutely important so that a holistic approach to education can be ensured. However, the purpose of art as academic subjects is not, and should not be, taught just to produce some "world-class artists", but to provide a means of exploring feelings and experiences and expressing them beautifully which "words", that we use on a regular basis, can't do alone. This is something that every child can experience and benefit from. In other words, the children should be able to find the true value of "art" in the process itself as well, not only in the "end product".
Q. 3. What are the advantages and disadvantages of art education?
Answer: There are a number of advantages of art education. In fact, many studies suggest that art education has many social and academic benefits to students as it promotes self-directed learning and sharpens creative problem-solving skills and critical thinking. The arts provide challenges for learners at all levels by connecting students with their own culture as well as with the rest of the world. Studies also suggest that Integrating art education with other disciplines helps reach the students who otherwise wouldn't feel "engaged" and interested in class works.
However, there are some disadvantages to art education as well. Learning art can be time-consuming and sometimes can take "decade" to succeed in the "business" of art. Another major disadvantage of art is, people, in general, don't exactly understand the idea of "art", and therefore, don't exactly learn to "appreciate" art, whether it is drama, painting, or music, which can be really depressing and de-motivating for the aspiring artists.
Q. 4. Why do you think some people enjoy looking at paintings and sculptures and others do not?
Answer: The fact, that some people enjoy looking at paintings and sculptures while others don't, can be attributed primarily, in my opinion, to how much "art education" one has received. Besides, this is also an issue of "sensibility" and how emotionally we get triggered by certain artworks. In fact, there is a theory which explains that because colours, shapes, sounds and thoughts are all waves form, and the more we are sensitive to these kinds of waves, the better we can understand an emotional message, considering that a piece of painting or sculpture essentially is an expression of an emotion, or transmit it. Besides, another "theory" suggests that most "visually intelligent" people love art while people who cannot concentrate upon a single detail for more than 10 seconds cannot enjoy art.
Q. 5. What are the advantages and disadvantages of being an artist?
Answer: On a metaphysical level, an advantage of being an artist is that he/she has a heightened sensitivity to the surroundings and being able to nurture it with a childlike playfulness towards experiences throughout the entire life by having the satisfaction by creating something "beautiful and special". But on a practical level, being an artist allows one to become his or her own "boss" without having to worry about 'satisfying' others.
However, one of the major disadvantages of being an artist is that he/she is not financially solvent most of the times, and he/she has to rely on some other sources of income to survive. And, as a result, an artist has no or a very limited social life. Another disadvantage of being an artist is most people don't take "art" as an actual "profession" which can be equally demoralizing and frustrating for a person with a sense of "self-respect".
Q. 6. Do you think that some people are naturally better artists than others?
Answer: Yes, I do think that some people are naturally better artists than others, just like somebody is better in science and mathematics academically, primarily because of their genetic structure and disposition towards "creativity". In fact, it is my opinion that it is the "genetic disposition" of some children who spent much of their time in their childhood by engaging in creative activity, whether it was drawing or singing, or whatever that they enjoyed, in order to develop their skills from the early years of their lives in the process of play.
Of course, some people would choose to argue that it is their "passion" that drives them to become "better" artists. But, even if I agree with them to some extent just for the "sake of debate", I would still argue that if it is not for their "natural inclination or disposition", they wouldn't be able to turn themselves into some "better" artists.

Soft loose knit with cozy turtleneck. Acrylic; hand wash. One size fits most.
Zigzag Knit Poncho is rated 3.8 out of 5 by 13.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Ms S from Soft and elegant Love these! Both are nice in color. Looks exactly like the picture. Lays nicely (36C) and I still have room. I have a slim neck line, so it's a little big, but not sloppy. Definitely can dress up or down. Great for all ages just be over 5 feet tall lol. In my opinion turtleneck sweaters are the best, so when I came across these I had to have them. My only concern is getting a snag... Only purchased because of the views. Thanks everyone!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Craftykat from Kitten Soft I bought this as a Christmas gift and my friend loves it. I did notice the small neck opening but if the extra material of the neck was folded up it slid on nicely. I ordered the blush and it was better than the picture! I would watch out for items that might snag; I personally did not think the poncho looked or felt of inferior quality. The weave is something I have not seen in a long time but that is what gives the item its softness. I must mention that me at the weight of 290 is pushing the nice look of the poncho! I highly recommended this item.
Rated 5 out of 5 by MommaBearpaid4 from Love it I'm 5'7. Wear a 1x with a big DDD chest and I ain't gonna lie, I have a double chin. This went over my head fine and helps hide that area I hate so much. Just don't get your Dolly Parton hair on first and then try to put it over your head and u will be fine.

I read The Dream Virgin at the request of the publisher, Saiga Books. Written by actor and author, Don Quine, The Dream Virgin is the first book of the new Ventures Nest Series. It takes a look at the growth of techies among today's youth, and the new careers becoming available for our newest generations. It also takes a brief look at child abuse and human trafficking.
At age six, Elfri Fleming began drawing the characters of her dreams. During her teenage years, after realizing this helped her deal with her nightmares, she turned the drawings into comic book characters. Soon she was a comic book entrepreneur. She now teaches kids the power in what she calls "lucid dreaming". Accompanied by her former-cop grandfather, Will, she travels to public libraries in a converted school bus called the Dreamland Express.
Now, with a loyal following and a lucrative career, Elfri finds herself as a finalist in a talent competition at a place called Ventures Nest. Winning the competition will provide funding to take her company to the next level and beyond. Unfortunately, Ventures Nest is located in a community with a dark side. Some of the goings-on are simply weird. Others are far more insidious.
I found The Dream Virgin to be deeply disturbing, but I recognize the importance of exposing evil in every way possible. This book does that. The book was published in June, 2018, but is in serious need of editing. There is a huge number of mistakes which a good editor or proofreader should have caught before publication.
Incomplete sentences;
some sentences that simply don't make sense;
misuse of verbs such saw and seen, was and were;
capitalization errors;
verb tense disagreement;
misspelled words.

The congressional deadline is within a 90 day period after the final decennial census figures are available. However, since the state has one congressional district no changes will be made. For state legislative districting, the plan must be submitted to the legislature at the first regular session after the Districting and Apportionment commission has been appointed or census data is available. The legislature then has 30 days to submit recommendations, and the commission has 30 more days to file the plan. The plan must be filed by the 10th day of the 2003 session.
The five-member Districting and Apportionment Commission is in charge of both congressional (when Montana had two districts, which it may again in 2002) and state legislative redistricting. Leaders of the four caucuses in both houses each choose a civilian member. The existing four members of the commission choose a fifth member who serves as chair. The governor has no veto power over any redistricting plan.
Between eight and twelve mandatory public hearings are held statewide and 10 commission meetings are usually held. The commission has set up a website.
The process has been less partisan than in many states. District lines are actually drawn by nonpartisan researchers with guidance from the commission. The only anticipated concern is protecting the seven large Indian reservations in the state from minority vote dilution. Montana lost a district after the 1990 census and now elects its representative at-large.
The state has swung strongly to Republicans in the state legislature in the last decade. There is only one U.S. House district despite the fact that the state's population likely will top one million by 2010.
After the 1990 census, Montana lost one of its two congressional seats after reapportionment of the U.S. House of Representatives. The state of Montana sued the U.S. Department of Commerce claiming that the census bureau's method of assigning seats (the method of equal proportions) did not achieve the greatest possible equality in the number of persons per representative. In rejecting Montana's claim, the U.S. Supreme Court pointed out that this method of reapportionment has been used since the 1920 census and does achieve the smallest relative difference between the populations per representative of districts among the states.
Montana's legislative district plan was challenged by a group of Native Americans claiming minority vote dilution under section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. The court dismissed the claim and noted the plaintiff's failure to show racial bloc-voting by white voters in the affected areas.

For the purpose of this review, the Braun Multiquick MR430HC Deluxe Hand Blender and Food Chopper was tested.
the food chopper attachment for chopping vegetables, nuts and the like.
Also included in the box are a bracket for mounting the appliance to the wall, a beaker for blending drinks and the like, a lid for the beaker and a brief user manual.
The blender comes with a standard 1-year warranty.
This handy appliance brings to your kitchen some serious space and time-saving. Simply immerse the 7-1/2-inch blender shaft, with its little blade on the end, into a pot where vegetables have been simmering, press the switch, and in seconds a creamy soup appears -- with no need to dump everything into a big blender. Whipped cream or frothy egg whites are an easy task when the whisk attachment is used. Even chopping nuts or garlic becomes a breeze when the 2-cup chopper bowl is attached to the motor.
What's more, you can easily attach the motor and blender attachment (likely to be among the most used attachments) to a kitchen wall, making the appliance easy to retrieve for use and even easier to store when not in use. With smoothies, dips, chopped nuts and whipped egg whites all so frequently finding their way into the kitchen, this handy tool is likely to find some coveted space in your kitchen.
While being able to cream hot soups while still in the pot is highly efficient, it can also be dangerous. I highly recommend holding a lid over the top of the pot while operating the hand blender near the edge. Otherwise, hot liquid is very likely to come spurting out of the top of the pot. As you get more used to operating the appliance this might be less necessary, but safety measures should always be taken. This is a simple device, but it can certainly be dangerous if precautions are not taken.
It's a good thing it's a simple device too. The user manual is poorly written and illustrated instructions are difficult to follow.
For more information about Braun's Deluxe Hand Blender and Food Chopper, visit http://www.braun.com.
To purchase this product for $29.99 (40% off the manufacturer's list price), click here. The Braun Deluxe Hand Blender & Chopper normally retails for $49.99.
Putting It All To Work Braun's Deluxe Hand Blender & Chopper works for households in so many ways. It saves you time and effort by making the use of bigger and bulkier appliances unnecessary. And it saves space by having a wall-mounted bracket that keeps it in sight without being in the way. If you can get past being careful and being self-taught on its use, this appliance will be a welcomed addition to your kitchen.

Total industry spend "is down 11% compared to this time last year in the United States, market research firm The NPD Group reported," according to VentureBeat's Jason Wilson. "Sales of hardware, software, accessories, and game cards was to $1.2 billion, and NPD said that declines happened in all these segments … A sagging hardware market resulted in a weaker first quarter in 2018 as compared to 2019 — it was $3.2 billion, down 2 percent."

"Lame is abelist," one of the women responded, in her usual no-nonsense manner.
Why the disparity? Well, whatever my personal feelings or attachment to the word lame, someone I care about had now informed me that they find it hurtful. That was enough for me to remove it from my vocabulary at that moment, because that's what I would want someone to do for me.
I have never even broken a bone, and as a child, I thought riding in wheelchairs was fun. I am not even remotely qualified to empathize from the perspective of someone who is actually disabled, which is why my first reaction was to keep my mouth shut about it.
Over the next few days I did a little investigative research into the problem (Read: I spent 15 minutes with Google) and the information I found was enlightening.
I recall vividly a conversation I had with someone I worked with in college about why I found "That's so gay!" as a pejorative, offensive, and her utter confusion about why it was a big deal, and that was over 20 years ago! Translating the scenario to something that hit me much closer to home brought instant clarity to my feelings on the subject.
I can't say it costs me nothing to stop using lame because it does cost me the second to stop and think of a new word. Likewise with 'crazy', 'stupid', 'insane', and a bunch of other words I try not to use. A second (or even two), to combat a lifetime of conditioning is actually not bad when you think about it. I also get to expand my every day vocabulary, which, as the daughter of a librarian, I find appealing. And I find I can still get my point across just fine.
A very clever friend of mine has created a bunch of TextExpander snippets which automatically keep her from typing ablelist words.
@writingthesurf @kronda Lame: feeble, flimsy, poor, sorry. All work just fine. Language does not need to be narrowed to your agenda.
I find the "married to a handicapped man" argument to be highly ridiculous. It's no more valid than, "But (this person in that group) says it's OK!" My wife is white, but she doesn't take being married to me as permission to say racist things (not to mention, that would swiftly lead to divorce).
I'm not trying to tell anyone what they can and can't say. You can say whatever you want.
For me it's not really about the word lame, as much as planting my flag and declaring my desire to use the least hurtful, most inclusive and welcoming language I can. It takes some effort and I might be a little more motivated to do it because I am so often excluded by language. Sometimes I wave my flag where others can see it, because again, that's what I would want others to do for me.
It's the same reason I inquired of a new restaurant we visited recently why they don't have a single vegan thing on the menu, even as I ordered my burger. I'm not vegan, but I have lots of vegan friends and I like them to be able to eat things they find delicious. The burger was good, but I probably won't be going back if I can't bring my friends.
If you can't advocate respect for people unless you're personally victimized, then we are all doomed. That's not the world I want to live in.
The Transcontinental Disability Choir: What is Ableist Language and Why Should You Care?
Abelism/Language post from AutisticHoya (scroll to the end for alternatives).
Really enjoyed this one Kronda. Excellent points on inclusive language. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Kronda. I really appreciate that you take the time to point these things out to people. It was a conversation we once had which finally let me truly understand privilege – and for me that's led to a real change in the words I use, like "lame", or "crazy". It's really easy to have a discussion about the inherent bias and/or harm in racist or sexist terminology, since those are outwardly apparent attributes (with exceptions, of course). Less so with "crazy", or with gender or sexual preference issues.
It's really odd that we as a society seem to have such lack of knowledge, care, or awareness of ableism – many disabilities are readily observable / apparent, and I find it curious how effectively we as a society have disenfranchised those individuals. I'm happy that a number of people I know have been actively raising awareness of ableism and ageism, and that it's starting to get mentioned in the larger arena of discussion.
I particularly liked your bit at the end: "If you can't advocate respect for people unless you're personally victimized, then we are all doomed." – Amen to that. It's worth remembering not to speak *for* people, but it's ludicrous to expect that no one can speak in favor of someone, or to advocate that we all treat each other with more respect, consideration, and care.
Matt, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I don't know what I said to help you understand privilege, but it's encouraging to know these things actually sink in with people once in a while!
Kroda – "Thanks for letting me know." Appreciative for sharing your learning. I'll pass on.

The first four races of NASCAR's playoffs have seen only Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr win, but that should change on Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway where all 40 drivers have a legitimate chance of winning. It's restrictor-plate racing and it's the second race in the Round of 12.
The first Talladega race in May saw Ricky Stenhouse Jr. win the first race of his career and the next plate race at Daytona in July he won as well. Roush Fenway cars have been very good in plate races the past few years, but Stenhouse has taken control as the elite plate racer. If he can win again, he'll get himself an automatic berth into the next round of eight.
What makes this race on the mammoth 2.66-mile high banked layout so special is because of the randomness. It's a wild card race for the top drivers and their championship dreams can be shattered quickly. If Busch or Truex get caught up in wreck here, their championship dreams are crushed. And it's so possible. No driver is safe here.
The drivers I'll be rooting for this week are Denny Hamlin and Brad Keselowski. The first win of Keselowski's career came at Talladega in 2008 as a part-time driver for an underfunded team. He's won four times at Talladega, the last coming in the spring of 2016. Hamlin won at Talladega in 2014 and has been one of the best plate racers the past four seasons.
The sentimental side of me wants Dale Earnhardt Jr. to finally win in his last season. He's won six times at Talladega, the last coming in 2015. Come on Junior. You got six races left, and this is your best chance to make it happen.


Since 1991, the government has started the forces to encourage public sector to innovate in order to strengthen the capability and solve problems at workplace for the benefit of organization and its people. The focuses of this forces is to create value creation, encourage cost reduction, and provide services that meet aspirations and people's expectations through high impact ideas. However, to achieve these focuses, public sector faces few challenges that affect the management of innovation; which includes lack of leadership skills and poor innovative culture to stimulate innovation. Although there are various initiatives conducted to enhance the management innovation, the innovative performance is still less satisfactory. Therefore, this paper aims to discuss the determinant factors that affect managing innovation in the selected public sectors which consist of two categories; patron and executor agencies. Thematic approach was used to analyse the interview data. Findings from the interview suggested that in the organization, an employee especially a leader should show his full commitment towards innovative culture, he needs to be committed and supportive and communicate well with the employees and he also should provide attractive rewards to encourage the innovative culture for an effective management innovation. These determinant factors need to be considered as high significant for the public sector to develop new strategies or approaches in managing innovation towards sustaining their competitive advantages in a long term for the benefit of public.

Toyota's new one-person EV even managed to draw our attention away from cars that look fit for superheroics, Announced at the Tokyo Motor Show 2013, the FV2 concept practically slaps you around the face with how much future...ness it's been plied with. In its 'parked' state (measuring 90cm high), it looks a lot like a Tron cycle also-ran, but once the door / roof is raised [seen above], this all changes. Once that happens, you can steer (pilot?) the FV2 while standing: by shifting your body weight to the left or right, it'll tend in that direction. The vehicle only carries one, but distributes the weight across four wheels, which are arranged in a cross layout. There's one at the front, one at the back and two primary drive wheels underneath the driver. This pair, alongside the tail section of the FV2, are coated in light-up displays, able to cycle through colors and patterns, although we're not entirely clear what degree of customization you'd get if the concept eventually made it to retail. We know some people's tastes are pretty out there.

By Jessica Tsai, Assistant Editor, CRM magazine
Required Reading: Short and Sweet
For the rest of the May 2009 issue of CRM magazine, please click here.
In life, we're often tempted to take shortcuts—but it's often said that shortcuts lead to long delays. So it seemed a bit unorthodox when author Scott Halford encouraged everyone to become one in his appropriately titled book, Be a Shortcut. No matter how independent you consider yourself to be, you undeniably rely on others to help you accomplish tasks—or, in Halford's case, to save your life. No matter what you lack—the resources, the time, the desire—shortcuts make our lives easier, and for that, we're grateful. To be one, in turn, means you're enhancing your value to those around you. Given today's economy, it may be the reason you still have your job. CRM Assistant Editor Jessica Tsai had the opportunity to speak to Halford about the long-standing benefits of being a shortcut.
CRM magazine: You open the book with your experience of being rescued while whitewater rafting. It's not a situation many people find themselves in—how does it tie into what it takes to be a shortcut?
Scott Halford: That rafting story [was] an emblem of all the things that embody the shortcut: the way it feels, how quickly it happens, and everything that has to do with [what shortcuts] are. [The] rescuer came to mind so quickly because he was everything I needed at that time. He did it with such amazing command that it elicited a very powerful feeling.
Good shortcuts in business are people who are not necessarily out there to toot their own horn. They're people who do their job, do it so incredibly well, and do it without attitude. When you're looking for that one thing to be done, you're looking for that one person every time, and they make you feel like that rescuer [made me feel].
CRM magazine: If they're not already a shortcut, this requires making significant changes. How do they get started?
Halford: The first thing I'd have them do is answer two questions: "Who are my shortcuts and how am I nurturing them?" and "Who am I a shortcut to and how well do I embody [these qualities]?"
Do an assessment first because with any kind of change comes awareness. A lot of people just go about life saying, "I have a list of people who help me. I help others." But they're not deliberate about it. Especially during this time, the shortcuts are the ones who are surviving.
CRM magazine: Coming from a business perspective, how does serving a niche market benefit you as opposed to having a wide breadth of solutions that try to be everything to everybody?
Halford: Businesses can frame themselves as a shortcut. They're that lifeline. [They] anticipate the kinds of questions and needs [clients] will have—and they're ready to stun and amaze their clients. If [clients know] everything they need to know about the thing they're trying to buy, it would be rare, and why would they need to go to the vendor then? The world is so incredibly full [of] information that there are very few people who can do it all and do it well.
CRM magazine: You emphasize in the book that someone shouldn't be a pushover in order to be a shortcut. Can you elaborate on that?
Halford: It's interesting that in classes that I teach, people say, "I don't want to be a shortcut because I already have everyone dumping in my lap." But if you're truly a shortcut, it's the expertise and the emotional intelligence. Oftentimes, you'll find really smart experts who are horrible with people but they have a great deal of expertise. But when they're overwhelmed, they typically get an attitude and they become difficult to work [with]. Those are the people who don't have as much influence as a true shortcut. A true shortcut can go in and say something has to change—and things will change.
CRM magazine: To what extent does a shortcut have to change who they are as a person? Is it just about business sense?
Halford: That's such a loaded question. In the realm of emotional intelligence, you can measure it, and you can see where people excel [and] where they have difficulty. People can change but only when they see the real reason to. When people say "You have to stop being a jerk," it doesn't work as well as when they see their life is falling apart.
There are people who intuitively know their success is predicated on how successful they make other people's lives. If you're not a shortcut to something or someone, you're taking up too much space.
That's true [in] an organization, too. If you look at your competitors—who you're up against, what makes you different—it's probably not going to boil down to a bunch of whoop-dee-doo products. It comes down to how you make your clients feel at the end of your relationship, at the end of your transaction, because, by and large, it's all the same kind of products.
CRM magazine: To what extent is a shortcut a passive figure waiting for someone in need? Is it an active engagement?
Halford: It's a way of life. We're all taking care of someone somehow. It's not like every day is going to be filled with those "Wow!" kinds of moments, but as you live that way, people are attracted to you, and people do things for you. It's a really simple concept of reciprocity.
It's active from the standpoint that it becomes the way that they live—and for those who are doing it, they're in tune [with] it.

A History of the 20th Century in 100 Maps
Tim Bryars
Tom Harper

"…shows you all you need to know about the power of maps to inform, entertain and induce wonder. 'A History of the 20th Century in 100 Maps' ranges all over the place in the best possible way … But what I really like about it is that it demonstrates the vivid ability of maps to portray human achievement and folly like nothing else on earth." Simon Garfield, Intelligent Life
From the Beatles to the Bomb, from top-secret documents to mass propaganda, maps tell many stories, allowing us to explore changing social attitudes towards the unfamiliar and unconventional, from Jewish London at the turn of the century to women in the workplace, and from the Edwardian opium trade to gay London in the 1980s.
In the 20th century, the first age of near universal map literacy, maps permeated almost every aspect of daily life. Greater awareness of maps led to greater use of map imagery across the board – a minority of maps in the book were used for finding the way from A-B. This book explores the 20th century map archive, examining different types of mapping, the variety of maps as physical objects, and the range of contexts in which maps were made and used. The focus is on a 'British' 20th century, but one which has been interpreted in the broadest possible sense, culturally and geographically.
"I was enchanted ... Deeply revealing as well as hugely entertaining ... If this book is a 'hail and farewell' to the printed map, it could not have been done with more verve or variety… Time and again the authors tease out revealing subtleties in the maps they explore." Richard Morrison, The Times


The PC version of Burnout Paradise arrives in February, with EA trialling an innovative way of demo'ing the title – by offering the full game for gamers to try out for a limited period of time.
If you have yet to play the console version, then you really have no excuse for at least giving it a whirl in February, after all, what else will you be doing early next year? Crying over credit card bills? Putting off that personal tax return (again)?
The real advantage here is that you can check that the game runs alright on your PC before you decide to buy.
EA will be letting us know more details on how long the trial will be made available for shortly.

#CitiesAreListening Experiences Hub: knowledge to build an urban pact for the future
Photo by Jesus Kiteque on Unsplash
The COVID-19 crisis introduced new challenges to the already complex urban management tasks. Faced with the emergence of the virus and the lock-down measures, local and regional authorities are looking for solutions to, among other challenges, meet the pressing needs of the most vulnerable communities, ensure a safe return to social and economic life, protect the culture sector and address rising unemployment, poverty and inequality.
UCLG, in its role as a binder of local and regional governments, have stimulated the debate to leverage the collective power of its network to share ideas, resources and knowledge.
As a continuity of the platform #Beyondtheoutbreak Knowledge hub, new debates have taken place this year to translate the first responses to the crisis to structural solutions to urban challenges.
#CitiesAreListening Experiences gather all these exchanges in a coherent window of dialogue, collective knowledge and participation.
GlobalCAD is supporting UCLG in creating a knowledge platform to publish and organize the outcomes of these sessions. The #CitiesAreListening Experiences Knowledge Hub will systematize the main conclusions and present actionable takeaways from 20 debates celebrated so far.
The platform makes accessible and presents the main lessons learned and resources that have been shared by hundreds of participants during the sessions.
The result will be a powerful source of information and knowledge available to decision-makers, professionals and citizens, with a coherent and engaging narrative that allows these sessions to be revived.
These sessions explore issues such as the future of tourism, the access to public space and how to develop healthy cities, the relationship between culture and sustainable development, and the relationship between climate change and our food systems.
The #CitiesAreListening Experience marks the way towards the implementation of the UCLG Decalogue for the COVID-19 aftermath, inspired by the lessons learned during the outbreak and local and regional leaders' visions of the future.
They also contribute to a far-reaching Pact that deepens the democratic processes and contributes to the transformation of cities and territories.
The Pact for the Future of Humanity will include a set of necessary actions that political and social key actors will take to ensure the future of the next generations.

Career Center creates new sign for Sault business
The Sault News
R & B Electronics, Inc., a Sault Ste. Marie business which makes electronic parts for the aircraft industry, needed a new sign for the outside of their building.
"One of our employees knew about the variety of skill sets available at Sault Area Career Center, so we thought we would approach Greg Rambo to see if they could create a sign for our business," says Wayne Olsen, Chief Financial Officer. "The design was a collaboration from both parties."
Taylor Vollick, a drafting student at the Sault Area Career Center, used the Computer Aided Drafting program to design the sign that welding would use the programming to operate the CNC Plasma Cutter. The 4' x 8' sign was cut out of a single sheet of aluminum using the handheld CNC plasma cutter. The aluminum letters and airplane logo were cut automatically by the CNC plasma cutter.
Automotive Technology class teaches students a powder coating technique to paint the letters onto a metal.
Tylor Payment, a student from Pickford, was responsible for painting the letters and logo of the sign.
"What we do is bake on a plastic paint that melts and covers the part you need to look painted," explains Tim Strader, Automotive Technology Teacher. "It took a week to bake the letters and logo. The color and size determine how long they will bake and at what temperature."
Machine Shop made approximately 100 "stand offs" or the small parts that support the letters and logo to give them a 3D look.
"Because of the labor, it would be expensive to do if it was produced in a sign shop. The parts gave the sign a unique classic touch," says Greg Rambo, welding instructor. "Then we weld the stand offs to the letters and bolt them to the sign. We sanded the aluminum sign and painted the edge."
The materials for the project were paid for by R & B, who gave an $800 donation to the Career Center.
"It was a good partnership," says Olsen. "The students got a real world experience and a sense of accomplishment. We received a professional looking sign."

SmartData for a Trustful Internet of (Cyber-Physical) Things
Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) & Software/Hardware Integration Lab (LISHA)
8, Mar, 2018 11:30-12:30 (1 hour)
I 025, FEUP, Porto, Portugal
The SmartData API was developed by the Software/Hardware Integration Lab (LISHA) at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC) to provide a full-stack framework for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) connected to the Internet of Things (IoT). It includes communication, synchronization, security, strict timing, georeferencing, and Internet-integration. At the CPS level, it provides a simple and elegant interface to sensors and actuators focused on the data they use and produce. Such data, as well as the associated metadata, follow a precise semantic specification. At the IoT level, such semantic is preserved while the data flows into an IoT platform that features storage, machine learning, analytics, and visualization. This talk covers the main design aspects of the API, as well as case studies of the integration of CPS to the IoT using it.
Dr. Antonio Augusto Fröhlich is currently a Full Professor at the Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), where leads the Software/Hardware Integration Lab (LISHA) since 2001. With a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering fromthe Technical University of Berlin, he has coordinated several R&D projects on embedded systems, including the ALTATV Open, Free, Scalable Digital TV Platform, the CIA² research network on Smart Cities and the Internet of Things, and the Smart Campus project at UFSC. Significant contributions from these projects materialized within the Brazilian Digital Television System (SBTVD) and IoT technology for Energy Distribution, Smart Cities, and Precision Agriculture. Dr. Fröhlich is a senior member of ACM, IEEE, and SBC.

This is an engaging release full of evocative atmosphere which I have found hard to stop playing. Aoki's finesse, lightness of touch and requisite sensitivity feels vital, illuminating the textures with outstanding results.
Soloist demonstrated delicacy as well as a capacity for playing with great power and technical prowess of the highest order.
"Miki Aoki captured exactly the mood of this lovely music, making light of its rather formidable technical problems and conveying the air of Gallic virtuosity. ... the pianist demonstrated that, in addition to the delicacy shown earlier, she was capable of playing with great power and technical prowess of the highest order."
expressive, and transparent performance.... The recording is....valuable as a sampling of the pianism of Miki Aoki, who gives every indication of being a very fine artist. "
....pianist Miki Aoki interprets magically...the album has a beautiful concept...."
".... this release proves a great success: enjoyable from start to finish."
"...if you have an interest in getting to know the epic Rimsky-Korsakov trio, is not to be missed."
"Here, on her first CD for the label Profile Hännsler, Aoki proves that she is capable to explore the emotional depths of the works of the Hungarian Composer Zoltan Kodaly. … she convinces the listener with simplicity, combined with precision of dance rhythm, yet never static, and without any exaggeration. ….it is exciting that we have the chance to wait for this pianist to glow through performances of works by other composers, as the label plans for future recordings.


Town have cut their season ticket prices for the 2019/20 season, their first in the third tier for 62 years, but by how much depends on how many are sold, while the cheapest adult matchday tickets have been reduced from £25 to £23.
Most season tickets have been cut by an initial 12.5 per cent - for example, an adult lower tier season ticket costing £381 this season will be £333 if renewed for 2019/20 - while Family Enclosure tickets are down 15 per cent.
But the club has also introduced what they call Town Targets, which will see prices drop by a further 10 per cent on last year's price - that adult lower tier seat would be £295 - if 12,000 are sold before the early bird deadline of May 6th, 15 per cent if 13,000 are sold - £276 - and 20 per cent - £257 - if season ticket numbers - currently 10,200 - hit the 14,000 mark before the deadline.
In addition to the reduction in prices, all supporters who buy a season ticket before the first day of the 2019/20 season will have their ticket frozen at that same price if the Blues are promoted to the Championship for 2020/21.
"We spoke with a number of supporters to gauge their opinions and carried out a survey before finalising our prices," Town's general manager of football operations Lee O'Neill told the club site.
"We are expecting to lose close on £9 million in revenue for next season so it's a balancing act between protecting season ticket revenue and getting the price as low as we can. We hope supporters think we've got it about right.
Manager Paul Lambert added: "I've been privileged to have played for some big football clubs in my career and seen some fantastic support.
"What I have witnessed from the Ipswich Town fans since I've been here is right up there with anything I've experienced in the game.
"I was out on the pitch after the Birmingham match. We'd just been relegated but the noise and support from the stands was unbelievable. I had to stand there and take it all in. It was incredible. Incredible.
"That's why this club will be alright, because of that support. It might not seem like it at the moment but we're in a really good place in a lot of ways.
"We've got some really good young players here. They will need time to develop but the potential is there. How good can they be? We will find out when they are given a chance – but they will get that chance. That's the direction we are going in.
"There will be changes to the squad in the summer. That's only natural. The loan players will go back, other players will leave and we will look to freshen things up.
"We have an idea of where we need to strengthen and the challenge next season is to bounce back. It won't be easy for certain. It will be a tough league and we will be a scalp for clubs but that's the target.
"We have a long term strategy here and it's not just going to happen overnight but we have to start somewhere – and it starts now.
"The signs are there. We have played really well in a lot of games this season. The potential is there. It's going to be exciting and sometimes you have to take a step back to go forwards.
In further comments from the letter partially released on Sunday, owner Marcus Evans said: "We have dropped the price of season tickets for next season by between 12.5 per cent and 15 per cent, with further cuts of an additional 20 per cent if we reach target figures for take up.
"There is a substantial drop in club income from other revenue streams so we have to protect season ticket revenue but with season ticket prices dropping 10 per cent for 2018/19 that takes us to a minimum 22.5 per cent decrease in price over the last two years.
"In addition, if we are promoted back to the Championship next season, we will freeze prices for 2020/21 for those who purchased season tickets for 2019/20 before the first day of the new season.
The initial 12.5 per cent drop will see an adult season ticket holder in one of the lower tiers pay £14.47 for each of Town's 23 League One matches, while senior citizens in the same area will pay £10.22 per match, under-23s £7.65 and under-19s £3.91.
In the Family Enclosure the initial price cut means an adult and three children under-12 all renewing can watch the Blues for a total of £19 per game.
The club are also continuing their interest-free 12-month Direct Debit payment scheme with current season ticket holders who pay via this route automatically renewed for 2019/20 unless they tell the club otherwise.
Town have also linked up with local businesses to offer discounts to season ticket holders as part of the ITFC Rewards scheme.
Match ticket prices are also down to £23 in the lower tiers (£25 this season) and £27 (£30 in 2018/19) in the upper tiers, aside from the central areas of Cobbold and Co-op stands.
Season tickets will go on sale from 9am on Tuesday 23rd April with the full price list here.
Season ticket brochures will be available at the turnstiles at Monday's game against Swansea City at Portman Road.
Absolutely brilliant, well done all involved! Let's hit them targets and get behind the boys, it could be an exciting season.
If I lived in England I would be there, every game. I am sure there will be the usual negativity from some fans, but I think this is a reasonable offer from the club.
Well done Marcus Evans, Lee O'Neill etc, this is better than expected and could get even better still.
Out of interest, anyone know how many STs we sold for the current season?
Dont get to many home games for obvious reasons, but this is a real statement from ME. Not sure there are many clubs out there that would reduce ticket prices by this much.
Will we be kept up to date on how many are sold?
@Roberds "season ticket numbers - currently 10,200"
Think this is a good move by the club. Get buying those season tickets people and lets fill the stadium! Very reasonable prices. COYB!
I live in Leeds so I generally have to settle for a few away matches a season.
But this is a very good gesture and I hope the locals can "put their money where there mouth is".
Happy with renewal price. Target of 12k could be achieved but above that who knows. Not insulted by this.
It's a reduction in price, so i guess that's a good thing.
If you weren't going to renew because of our relegation, then this is not going to change your mind, and it certainly won't convince the thousands who have binned their season tickets over the past few years.
Never in a million years are we going to hit those sales targets, and ME knows it!
I wonder if they'll update us on numbers as the deadline nears?
Fair play ME and LO'N. This is a serious commitment given the revenue decreases!
Can't be any fairer than that. I will reknew but it is down to us fans to back the club financially with season tickets....we will be the 12th man next season.
Well Played Ipswich Town, hit the nail on the head. Extremely fair pricing. good opportunity for the fans to back the team in this new era. will be a tough season no doubt but have full faith we can push for promotion and perhaps a trip to wembley in the tin pot cup.
Fair play - count me in (and my kids).
