Universalism vs. personalisation
The move towards personalisation in health, as in other services, provides the opportunity to make a new and more humanising relationship between providers and the people they serve. Research by NHS Kensington and Chelsea indicates a direction in which commissioners of housing, health and social services could usefully go.

NET ZERO WON'T DO AWAY WITH ROADS
Molyneux offers insights why net zero won't do away with roads. Transport decarbonisation is a direct challenge for many, including those in North of England where car emissions account for 23% of the Great Britain's total. The roads are not inherently an issue, it is the types of vehicles using them, and whether they are built to enable efficient and reliable journeys, that matter. A multi-modal approach, recognising all transport modes, is the key to driving the solution, he added. This includes promoting active travel, walking and cycling on all shorter journeys alongside a more seamless public transport network delivered with practical interchange opportunities. Roads remain vital to the multimodal approach ensuring the first and last miles can be completed smoothly, reaching more rural or isolated places.

A better future for supported housing
The National Housing Federation's initiative, In Business for Neighbourhoods, urges all housing associations to ensure that they focus on users, to diversify funding and manage costs, while working in partnerships with others to serve the whole population of a community or neighbourhood. General-needs housing providers can't be 'in business for neighbourhoods' without meeting the needs of frail older people, care leavers, people recently released from prison or women fleeing domestic violence. Providers of supported housing hold in their hands many of the tools to enable this engagement.Supported housing is the only part of the housing association sector with a clear and untainted focus on users, the only part with a rigorous focus on costs and efficiency and the only part developed through partnership, owing everything to partnership. In their report, In Business to Support People - the Future of Supported Housing, Julia Unwin and Peter Molyneux argue that supported housing agencies must be allowed to find ways to grow as organisations and to cope with a highly unstable market if they are to respond effectively to the challenges posed by increasing demand for citizenship and choice.

Lionhead Studios' Black & White
The Creature himself is an astonishing piece of work. Once he starts learning, he forms his own personality as he goes, and no two players will ever have the same Creature. The complexity is kept to a minimum to keep him fast, but we managed to steer completely clear of using random elements to make him seem like he has a mind of his own. And there is nothing in the game that you can do which you can't teach your Creature to do.

Osman strike is relief to Moyes
DAVIE MOYES bemoaned [Everton]'s lack of cutting edge after they battered Norwich then needed a late Leon Osman strike to stave off a third straight defeat. Everton now have only eight points from eight home games but tore into Norwich from the off and Marouane Fellaini missed a good chance before Osman's goalbound effort was blocked. The introduction of Royston Drenthe proved pivotal as Everton's Dutch sub unleashed a shot in 81 minutes that Osman diverted home.

'I've had this dream to create something that lives'
I want to know what's happened to Clive Sinclair's dream. That dream was that the main form of entertainment people would have would come from computer entertainment. And that's when we as a nation all got behind home computers, and everyone was talking about Sinclair Spectrums versus Acorn Atoms and BBC...

The rock star designer who's game for a challenge
Peter Molyneux: He's a bit like a film director -- he deals with an idea, and thinks about everything from gameplay to reviewing the cinematics and graphics. He can communicate to a big team, and is incredibly patient. You can have an idea, and have to wait a year before anything happens, and then another two before...

No more growing pains Prompted by a frustration with big-company sluggishness, one man is offering computer games developers a way to stay nimble and prosper
[Peter Molyneux] never hid his frustration with working inside big companies, but when he left Bullfrog he also wanted his next venture to grow. So, in 1999, he conceived of an innovative scheme designed to build Lionhead into a company that created a large number of games, yet remained small. To achieve this, Lionhead would effectively create a network of games development companies - associated developers that would share Lionhead's resources and technology and benefit from Molyneux's reputation as a games designer, yet would not be based in the same building. Following the sale of Bullfrog to EA and the success of Lionhead's Black & White, Lionhead is in the unusual position of being a games developer with enough financial muscle to fund its own games development, instead of relying on publishers for advances. This may be the key to the sustainability of Lionhead's satellites. Big Blue Box and Intrepid come from a different angle than Black & White Studios: they are essentially start-up developers riding on Peter Molyneux's reputation. Intrepid director Matt Chilton says: \"With Lionhead's support we have been able to jump straight into fully-funded development of an original game idea for a new console, and with a promise of a phenomenal marketing spend, too. This superstar status is rare for young companies. Being a Lionhead satellite has allowed us to leapfrog other similar start-up companies by six or seven years.\"
