The NHS Values Summit brings together a diverse range of people and perspectives to create a greater understanding of how people’s differences, social status and cultural expectations can affect their experiences of health and care.
It challenges and inspires people to think about the role of ethical leadership in improving the health and wellbeing of local communities, staff and patients and how the NHS can increase the social value of its activities.
Welcoming representatives from health and social care, alongside more than 20 partners from the voluntary and community sector, this event (in Leeds, Yorkshire) was a template for future NHS Values Summits, which will be held twice a year in different locations across the country. Each event will explore a different theme relating to equality, health inequalities and human rights. The next gathering will take place in May 2013.
A HUGE wall project for a local primary school to show their values. It will be 6 books on a background edged with Roman walls (like our city is)
I've long lived with the philosophy of: "Whatever you believe, you might be wrong." I grew up around a lot of extreme thinkers, who'd quickly trade one certainty for another. They saw no value in a "maybe, maybe not" mindset. That was too wishy-washy, and true believers would hold it against them. So I watched them rush from faithless to faithful with dizzying speed – the middle space of skepticism was dangerous ground, hot coals to sprint across. For the duration they resisted a notion, an unshakable stubbornness seemed to hold them back. But then, suddenly and unexpectedly, they swapped positions.
Every belief system recognizes and defines that swift, unexplained switch. In my religious community, it was referred to as experiencing a "revelation" or a "witness". Insiders are aware that it's tenuous at first, being an abrupt about-face from previous thought processes. So they set about quickly providing purpose to remain with your new in-group, and arguments against the calls of outsiders. Conversion is easy; retention takes effort. Part of the process is convincing you that change came for a greater purpose, and random emotion was not the main motivation. You had your revelation – now you need a reason.
The individual belief systems don't differ much in approach. Take your pick of the current mix. Could be religions, politics, or heck, even the geometric shape of the planet these days. They all offer community, but with the caveat that you must think as they do to belong. Sure, there's a little wiggle room within the framework, but a singular qualifier walls it in. You must at least accept that this being is the one true God, this figurehead should rule the county, or that the Earth is shaped like a triangle – whatever. They each have independence-terminating borders to stop you drifting too far from an accepted norm.
Around a decade ago, I wrote this line in a poem: "I'm looking for reasons but falling for causes." At the time, I was in the midst of my own internal extrication, trying to delineate my actual beliefs from the ones I'd been raised with. I made a promise to pursue honesty with the same vigor I was taught to defend the faith. Believing right is the great distraction, as it's often shifting and owes the believer nothing. But living right – there's the ultimate challenge. For me, that's defined by valuing individual stories, personal memories, emotional resonance.
I have a wide enough audience to know that some deeply divisive people are reading this now and nodding their heads, never thinking for a second that it applies to them. They probably fill at least one position in life that's valued, either as a worker, spouse, parent, or friend. But rather than finding a way to be more wonderful in that field, they lose value with each butt of the head. Every extremist I've known falls to ultimate unkindness, placing the cause as king over love. If you find the thing that you do best (and I sure hope I've found mine), you may learn that doing it well is the greatest faith to follow. Hold fast.

I like to do quick value sketches on location before starting a painting. Its a tremendous help in planning the basic structure and exploring what’s important in the scene. Traditionally artists have used pencil, charcoal, or ink to draw value sketches. I thought I’d explore using the iPod Touch instead. It’s the right size – screen size is about 2 x 3 inches which is the size I usually make in a sketchbook. It’s also handy. It fits in my shirt pocket and I always have it with me and I already use it to take reference photos.
I experimented with several different painting apps. I first used Sketch Club which I like because I can make custom brushes and it has an eight step grayscale color palette. I also tried ArtRage and Sketchbook Mobile, but rejected them. ArtRage on the iPod creates files which are too small and Sketchbook has too clumsy an interface. I really like Procreate on the iPad, but the iPad is too big to carry around conveniently. The best was Brushes. It makes nice large files and you can playback a movie of your painting process.
You can see a Brushes movie, a slideshow, and read more about value sketches on my blog: www.jimblodget.com/blog/value-sketches/ .

Top Value Stamps are a thing of the past just like Gold Bond Stamps, Blue Chip Stamps, S&W Green Stamps, and Plaid Stamps just to name a few. The stamps were given out by businesses to their customers who would then redeem them for gifts out of their catalogs.
The picture that I have attached was taken at the Dream Centre in Hamilton, and it describes some of the core values of the organization. Around the core values, other photos can also be seen on the wall which are snippets of these core values actually in motion in real life. This picture fits into my trip experience because I, along with my fellow group members, had the opportunity to practice most, if not all, of these values in real life as we were volunteering at different organizations and attempting to make a positive contribution.

I put my core values for the next year in my life down on paper. These will be the ones in the front of my mind.

Here is a strip mall in Bloomington called Bloomdale(near France & Old Shakopee). It's been sitting there abandoned for quite some time. There were supposed to be new shops put in there about 9 months ago but nothing has changed.

Isn't a corporate communications teams really just internal marketing team? Why don't they act like external marketing teams, using the same techniques? The ones that I know, have not changed their ways to match the methods external marketing. In some instances, they don't embrace some of the newer ideas and technologies.
Are there reasons why? My guess? The biggest reason is probably that the focus and value provided by these corporate communications teams is perceived to not be as high as the ones that are "driving" people to purchase the products and services of the company. Because of that, they do not get the funding or the encouragement to step outside of the basic tools they are provided.
Unfortunately, enterprise communications teams are probalby more valuable than most people think. They have the ability to really drive change in the organization, change to processes and new technologies. And unfortunately, they are often left with either the lack of tools to do the job of external marketing teams or the lack the ability to realize that they could be more like the external marketing teams.This note was inspired by +David Amerland 's book, Google Semantic Search.
Easthampton is one of many industrial communities that need to find a use for its industrial facilities after the Industry has vamoosed.
"Eastwork" is a pretty cool place. The ground floor is commercial/retail space. The next level up are studios and offices. And the top level is all apartments. Many artists commute to work just by getting dressed and moving down a flight of stairs.
The seventh Podravka annual report made by the agency brings together all three values of the brand Podravka (heart, warmth and good recipes). This annual report has to be baked before use. It consists of two parts, a big book containing numbers and a report of an independent auditor, and a small booklet that is inserted inside the big one that contains the very heart of Podravka as a brand: great Podravka’s recipes. To be able to cook like Podravka you need to be a precise cook. That is why the small Podravka booklet is printed in invisible, thermo-reactive ink. To be able to reveal Podravka’s secrets you need to cover the small booklet in aluminum foil and bake it at 100 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes. If you are not precise, the booklet will burn, just as any overcooked meal. If you have successfully baked your sample of the annual report, the empty pages will become filled with text, and the illustrations with empty plates with food. To save energy, you can bake the cooking book together with some delicious food.
Sedmo godišnje izvješće kojeg je za Podravku napravila agencija Bruketa&Žinić pokušava ujediniti sve tri vrijednosti branda Podravka (srce, toplinu i dobre recepte). Ovo godišnje izvješće mora se ispeći prije upotrebe. Sastoji se od dva dijela: velike knjige koja sadrži brojeve i revizorsko izvješće te male knjige umetnute u veliku koja sadrži samo srce Podravke, njezine izvrsne recepte. Kako bi kuhali poput Podravke, morate biti precizan kuhar. Zbog toga je knjižica printana nevidljivom termoreaktivnom tintom. Kako bi otkrili Podravkine tajne knjižicu morate umotati u aluminijsku foliju i peći ju u pećnici na 100 stupnjeva, 25 minuta. Ukoliko niste precizni, knjižica će zagorjeti, poput svakog predugo počenog jela. Ukoliko ste uspješno ispekli svoj primjerak godišnjeg izvješća, prazne stranice postat će ispunjene tekstom, a ilustracije s praznim tanjurima, bit će pune hrane. Kako biste uštedili energiju, kuharicu možete peći zajedno s nekom ukusnom hranom.
