Christophe Mirmand, the Prefect of the Buches-du-Rhone has announced new coronavirus restrictions in the department. Amongst various measures, he said that wearing a mask will be compulsory from 6 am to 2 am in municipalities where the incidence rate is greater than 100 cases in 100,000, except for large natural spaces. Also in those areas which have over 100 cases per 100,000 people, gatherings of more than 1,000 people will be prohibited and gatherings of more than 10 static people will prohibited on beaches and in the public gardens.
Meanwhile, the Director General of the Regional Health Agency in the Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur region has said that 139 people are in intensive care in the region and 64 intensive care beds are currently available. Speaking this evening Philippe de Mester said that there was a "particularly worrying" epidemic situation in Marseille and in the Bouches-du-Rhône department.
Earlier this afternoon, the Prefect of the Gironde department in western France, which includes Bordeaux, announced the introduction of new coronavirus measures. Fabienne Buccio said that private gatherings in the city of Bordeaux must not exceed 10 people. Public gatherings in places such as beaches and gardens in the city also must not exceed 10 people and drinking whilst standing in bars and restaurants will be prohibited. Amongst a range of measures which will come into force for the whole of the Gironde department, the number of people permitted at public events will be lowered to a maximum of 1,000 instead of the previous limit of 5,000. Last Friday French Prime Minister Jean Castex asked the Prefect, along with the Prefects of the Bouches-du-Rhone and Guadeloupe to propose new coronavirus measures.
Disruption to public transport in our region is expected on Thursday. A national day of action has been called by several unions. Although full details are not known at this stage, Lignes d'Azur say that the three tramlines in Nice and over twenty bus lines won't be operating on Thursday.
The French central bank, the Banque de France has said that the economy is expected to contract by 8.7% this year. The figure is slightly better than the 10.3% previously estimated by the Bank. It said that surveys of businesses showed a stronger economic rebound than had previously been expected.
The Elysée has said that President Macron will be present at the 17th stage of the Tour de France tomorrow. It's taking place between Grenoble and Méribel.

Much of France will experience a heatwave in the early part of this week according to Meteo France. In unusual conditions for mid-September, temperatures could approach 37 degrees in localized areas of south-west France and 36 in some central parts of the country.

iPod May Ease Transition For Those With Autism | Stonebrook, Inc.
As more people with autism enter the work world, a new case study suggests that arming them with specially-programmed iPods may go a long way toward achieving independence on the job.
Researchers looking for new and innovative ways to help those with autism adapt to the demands of employment used the Apple iPod Touch as an assistive device with three adults with the developmental disorder. The results of the small case study — published this week in the Journal of Vocational Rehabilitation — were quite promising, they said.
For "Jeffrey," 21, who struggled with transitioning from one task to the next as a custodian at Hardee's, a series of alarms on the iPod helped keep him on schedule. The notes function of the device was also used to provide a checklist of responsibilities and remind him of calming techniques.

Great players make great teams. Every coach will tell you the first ingredient of a successful team is talent. But who are the best players on the best teams? We decided to rank the top 68 players in the 68-team NCAA Tournament field for you.
Of the 15 players named to the 2018 Sporting News All-America team, all but one will appear in the NCAA Tournament (and that guy, Jock Landale of Saint Mary's, should be there as well, but that's a discussion for another day).
Great players make great teams. Every coach will tell you the first ingredient of a successful team is talent. But who are the best players on the best teams? We decided to rank the top 68 players in the 68-team NCAA Tournament field for you. The number of terrific players we had to exclude should tell you that even if analysts are correct when they say this season has "no great teams," that statement does not extend to the players who will participate.
Sporting News' Player of the Year is in command of nearly every game he enters, capable of delivering a 30-point performance if required or simply standing in the background and directing his superb teammates to another successful effort. Oh, and he's snapped out of that brief 3-point slump, making 10 of 21 during an overpowering performance at the Big East Tournament.
There is no one in college basketball as dominant, and no one who looks more like the No. 1 overall pick the next time the NBA conducts a player draft. He is as complete a package of basketball skill as we've seen at his size: 7-0, 260. Ayton seems to be playing even more ferociously of late, with four games of more than 25 points in his past six.
Bagley can be a scoring machine when he's given access to the ball in dangerous positions. He is best when operating around the lane, not too far from the goal, but he does have the skill to take defenders way out and fire 3-pointers. He showed in the team's early February win over North Carolina there is an extra gear to his play - might it emerge in the NCAAs?
Having earned the Big 12 Player of the Year award and been named first-team All-America by SN, as well as becoming MVP at the Big 12 Tournament, and being on a team ranked No. 1 a year ago, about the only thing left for Graham to accomplish is to get all the way to the Final Four.
What had been a dream season at one point has been transformed into a twisted, tortured nightmare, with the Sooners entirely fractured and losing eight of their final 10 games. Some of the issues were Young's; he lost the rhythm of when to try heat-check type shots and began regularly missing. Young has made 25 percent of his 3-pointers since Feb. 1. But he's also made extraordinary passes and still has the capacity to carry the Sooners a long way.
Does not have the dynamic first step that many of the best wings do, but his length causes problems for every opponent and his skill level - the variety of shots he takes and makes comfortably - is ridiculous. Bates-Diop needs very little room to get off his shot because his launch point might literally be higher than any player his size.
Bridges has so many ways to score that even his coaches sometimes fail to take them all into account. That sometimes leaves him overly reliant on his excellent jump shot, but MSU is an improved team when he attacks frequently from the wing. When other elements of the team's offense failed during the Big Ten Tournament, he also showed off a promising low-post game.
Bluiett's range, accuracy and confidence make him college basketball's best shooter in 2017-18, and one of the best the game has seen this decade. When he gets hot, he is a threat to challenge the 40-point mark, and his ability to drive the ball short distances and draw fouls is underrated. He attempted 180 free throws this season and converted 86 percent from the line.
Bridges is so gifted there are some who joke that Brunson is the best player in the nation but Bridges is the best on Villanova's team. He is across-the-board accurate as a shooter and doubled his output from 3-point range this season, from 44 makes as a sophomore to 88 this year. With the Wildcats losing All-American Josh Hart after last season, Bridges embraced all the responsibility left behind.
The Mountaineers rely on Carter to do so much - press, run the offense, make shots, defend in the halfcourt - it sometimes seems as though he runs out of energy to finish the job. But he is the best on-ball defender in Division I: an oppressive, disruptive force. He made himself into an elite playmaker; it's not often a guy playing regular minutes his entire career goes from 3.7 to 6.6 assists per game in a single season.

A salute to Mary Lynch's long, spirited service to our historical society
By CHUCK OFFENBURGER
JEFFERSON, Iowa, Dec. 1, 2017 — At the end of 2017, when Mary Lynch retires from the board of directors of the Greene County Historical Society, we lose regular participation by one of our key leaders over the past 20-plus years.
So we sat down with her for a valedictory interview, covering some of her favorite historical society memories and reflections.
"From 1999 to 2003, I was the president at the time when we bought the building the museum is in now," said Lynch, who lives in Jefferson. "We worked in it from March in 2002 until we opened in December. We completely re-did the building, and almost all the work was done by our volunteers. In the building the museum had been in (since 1970) on the north side of the square, we had three stories of stuff displayed or in storage. We got rid of some of it that had deteriorated, but then we moved everything else over to the new building, where we built new exhibits and storage areas. It was exhausting, but it was a whole lot of fun, too.
"Ever since then," she added, "when anybody's told me they're moving from one home to another and how much work it is, I've always said, 'Well, you've never really moved until you've moved a whole museum!' "
Mary Lynch
Lynch said she "has always been a history buff," but she didn't join and become active in the historical society until after she retired from American Athletic Inc. in late 1993. She had worked her first 10 years there as a receptionist, the next 10 years in accounting. Earlier in her career she had worked in the offices of Dr. J.K. Johnson Jr., then the local electrical utility and also attorney Eugene Melson. And she spent 18 years at home raising the children she had with her husband Kenny Lynch, who had a carpet and floor covering business.
When she joined the historical board in about 1994, she began looking around the existing museum, saw how crowded it was, and eventually told the rest of the board, "Folks, it's time to find a new home for our museum." Valerie Heater Ogren, then the longtime president of the society, "put it right back on me," Lynch said. "She said, 'Well, Mary, how would you like to head-up a committee to make long-term plans and make it happen.?' I had to say yes."
She began looking for suitable buildings in Jefferson, and soon learned that Chuck Ryan was planning to retire from his Ryan Furniture store – our museum now.
"I knew the building pretty well because my husband Kenny had done the flooring in it when Chuck opened it in 1972," Lynch said. "I thought the location would be perfect, just a block off the square and in view for people up at the top of the bell tower – they might come visit the museum, too."
"As soon as I found out that Chuck Ryan was going to sell it, I called Craig MacDonald, one of the realtors, and told him the historical society was interested and to give us a chance on it," Lynch said. "Then I called Francis Cudahy (an attorney) and Gene Houk (a dentist) and said, 'Hey, guys, we have to go see this building and I want you to come along.' "
The brick building had been built in 1917 as a fuel station and repair shop for motor vehicles. Later it had been used for new car sales, and then the furniture store. The price was $65,000.
"Francis, Gene and I all thought that was a fair price, but still it was quite a bit of money for our historical society," Lynch said. "But at our next meeting, which happened to be up in Churdan, I told our members about it and proposed that we buy it. No one spoke up against it, and we went ahead. We spent most of 2001 raising the money. I had been around Jefferson and Greene County my whole life, and I just knew that for a good project like this, people would get together and support a good project like this."
Her nephew Chris Durlam "had just finished helping raise the money for the Greene County Community Center, so he was my advisor. He told us to get contributions first from all our board members, and then send out letters to the public. We did that, and just like I thought would happen, the checks came rolling in. I remember Jim Andrew driving over to my house and handing me two checks, each for $7,500. Gene and Carolyn Houk were major donors, and there were a whole lot of other donations from $1,000 to $5,000.
"Other people wanted to help fix or build the new museum. Carson Griffith had retired as a music teacher at East Greene, and he had a side painting business, too. He said he had many half-full cans of paint left over from past jobs, and his wife Betty wanted him to get them out of the house. So he mixed all that paint, came up with a nice light color, and then painted the whole interior of the building. My husband Kenny, who was then 76 years old, laid 650 square yards of carpet – and we laughed it was the second time he'd done the floors in that building."
As they planned and built new exhibits, the historical society had free consultations on design and lay-out from Mike Vogt, the curator at the Iowa Gold Star Military Museum at Camp Dodge, and from Greene County native Tom Morain, who had headed Living History Farms and the State Historical Society of Iowa.
Volunteerism from our own membership must've reached an all-time high. Lynch recalls that there were a half-dozen or more couples who spent nearly every evening through the hot summer working at the new museum.
It was completed for a grand opening in December 2002 as part of the holiday "Tour of Homes" in Jefferson. More than 400 people came through the new museum then. And people have been coming ever since – to see the collection of artifacts (reported as 11,000 artifacts in 2010) as well as for historical programs and other community programs.
After her presidency, Lynch served a term as past-president and then went off the board. Three years later, "I realized I missed being involved, so I asked to go back on the board" and she has served until now.
At 88 and continuing to deal with macular degeneration, she felt time for another retirement had arrived.
But she did ask for time at our board of directors meeting in January to talk about her ideas for future projects by the historical society, most of them at the museum.
Exhibits need to be changed and refreshed, she says. "That really should happen every year," she said. "There are events and people that should be featured in exhibits that we've never really done enough with – George Gallup Jr., Jackie Fye for her gymnastics, the Mahanays and others.
"And then we need to talk about what we can do with the level of funds that we have, in order to make the museum more popular."
Mary Lynch's story is a good reminder of how much our earlier members have invested in our historical society in time, talent and treasure. And it's a call for more of us to step up and carry it forward, now and into the future.
This story was first published in the printed 2018 newsletter of the Greene County Historical Society. That was distributed at the Dec. 1 meeting of the organization in Jefferson, and subsequently mailed to members of the society who were unable to attend that meeting.

Chloe Kim's biggest challenger? It might be 32-year-old Queralt Castellet
Associated PressFeb 5, 2022, 5:11 AM EST
ZHANGJIAKOU, China (AP) — Spanish snowboarder Queralt Castellet goes by "Q" for one good reason: "She demands the respect of one big letter," her coach cracked.
OK, maybe two reasons — the primary being that it saves everyone the effort of trying to pronounce her name. FYI: It's Kuh-ralt.
Without a doubt, "Q" has become an answer to this trivia question: Name a rider who could give defending Olympic halfpipe champion Chloe Kim a run for the title at the Beijing Games.
At 32 and competing in her fifth Olympics, Castellet shows no signs of slowing down. Instead, with the assistance of her coach, two-time Olympic silver medalist Danny Kass, she is flying higher than she did in her 20s and consistently landing more gnarly tricks. On top of that, she can't recall having this much fun.
"The day I stop learning is probably when I really stop competing," Castellet said in an interview during last month's Winter X Games, where she placed second in a field that was missing Kim. "But I'm on a very good path with a lot of progression. I'm having a blast.
She is feeding off the energy of this younger generation. She looks around and sees almost nobody who was there at her first Olympic appearance in 2006.
Back then, Castellet was a wide-eyed teenager from Spain — never mistaken for a haven of snowboarding — going against an American force that included Hannah Teter, Gretchen Bleiler and Kelly Clark. Now, it's Kim and Maddie Mastro, along with a host of international riders such as Xuetong Cai of China.
"To me, it's an honor to be able to share this time with all different kinds of ages of riders and different styles," said Castellet, who has halfpipe qualifying on Wednesday. "And to see what has happened to snowboarding because of all the different flavors that they bring in. It's just amazing."
Somewhere, maybe in her parents' house, there's video of a 16-year-old Castellet competing at the 2006 Turin Games. She hasn't watched the halfpipe run in quite some time.
She does recall this from her 26th-place finish: sheer enjoyment. She had so much passion, so much determination.
Still does after all these years.
Her best Olympic result was seventh at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games. But she's a different sort of rider these days.
For that, she credits Kass, with whom she began collaborating about two seasons ago.
In Castellet, Kass saw a snowboarder who had as many tricks at her disposal as Kim. He watched Castellet for a while, learned what she could do — and do well — in the pipe and then went about honing in on her strengths. For instance, they've dialed up her cab jump — riding "switch" (the opposite direction from normal) and jumping frontside — along with adding degrees of spin.
This keeps her youthful, too: riding with the kids at Ski & Snowboard Club Vail, where Kass works with the team.
"I think that made her have a little bit more fun … actually riding with junior peers, young kids she's not competing against," Kass explained. "She was trying new tricks and what they were learning."
In Kass, Castellet found a fresh voice from a snowboarder she grew up watching and admiring. Kass captured two Olympic silvers, including in 2006 when he finished behind Shaun White, who is trying to defend his title again this winter.
Castellet also took to heart one of Kass' biggest pieces of advice: Just have fun.
"Not that I forgot (to have fun), but I could get a little too serious or a little too repetitive in some things," said Castellet, whose country has won only one gold medal at the Winter Games, in 1972, by ski racer Francisco Fernández Ochoa. "It's very, very important to enjoy everything on the mountain, and this side of me is just really, really blooming."
Over the years, she's become a student of the sport. Castellet frequently watches video of other riders to pick up tips and draw inspiration. She may view a run of Australian rider Scotty James to study how he rides "switch." Or scrutinize the Japanese team to see how it tackles a difficult trick. Or examine the style of Danny Davis. Or even watch one of her biggest rivals, Kim, to see what she does so well (conclusion: "She goes for it — always," Castellet said. "Just brings this energy.").
"It's cool to be surrounded by such amazing riders," added Castellet, who was second behind Kim at the Dew Tour in December in Copper Mountain, Colorado. "I can not only get motivated, but also learn from them."
As for how long she may keep competing, "Q" doesn't have an exact "A" for that one. Not yet anyway.
"I can't tell you what I'm going to be doing tomorrow, for example, but I definitely know that there's snowboarding," Castellet said. "I like progressing. I like the experiences. I'm having more and more fun every time, just because I learn every day."

Brandon Lewis announced as new housing minister
The appointment of Brandon Lewis as housing and planning minister in David Cameron's reshuffle signifies a serious elevation for housing in the current government.
Lewis has been promoted to the position of Minister of State for Housing and Planning, effectively combining the roles of former housing minister Kris Hopkins and Nick Boles, the former planning minister who has now been moved to an equalities post elsewhere in government.
It will be interesting to see if the uniting of the two portfolios leads to any reduction in the planning delays which house builders regard as the biggest obstacle to increasing the volume of new homes constructed.
Lewis only became an MP in 2010 but is a long-time political ally of Communities Secretary Eric Pickles, whose position remains unchanged in the reshuffle despite speculation that he may be sacked to make way for a younger successor.
In 2012 Lewis, a qualified barrister, was promoted to under-secretary of state with the DCLG, with responsibility for a range of issues including local government, fire services, high streets and pubs.
He will be the fourth housing minister in three years. Grant Shapps did the job for two years and four months, Mark Prisk for one year and one month, and Kris Hopkins for just 10 months.

The Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020: How do the changes affect me?
All at Clarity Simplicity sincerely hope that everyone is keeping as safe and as well as they can at these very trying times.
We will continue to help everyone we possibly can and this article is designed to help you understand the impact of The Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020, which came into force on 7th April 2020. Firstly, through this article The Coronavirus (Scotland) Act 2020 will be referred to as 'The Act'. The following is just a very general run through on the aspects of the Act and who, in my opinion, it is likely to affect.
The Act itself is a significant one which makes broad reaching changes in these very difficult times. Its provisions are due to be in force until the end of September 2020 but the Act does allow for is period of being in force to be either shortened or extended for a further period of up to September 2021.
The Act is separated into several different Sections. The Act itself is very short but it is supplemented by some very in-depth Schedules which have a lot of detailed provisions. What I will now do though is run you very briefly through some of the most important changes that the Act makes. They are:
Eviction from dwellinghouses
This is going to mostly affect landlords, tenants and letting agents. Broadly speaking, what it does is affects the notice periods in order to bring a tenancy to its end and in particular lengthens them beyond those we are accustomed to. We will very shortly be putting up a separate video going into that one in a little bit more depth. Click on to the Complete Clarity Solicitors YouTube Channel for that video. The main provisions for this are in Section 2 and Schedule 1 of the Act.
Protecting debtors
If you are a debtor and have found yourself bankrupt or on the verge of bankruptcy then the Act has an effect on you because it gives an extension of certain time periods that applied to you before coronavirus meaning you have longer to make payment. Consequently, creditors- that is those who are owed the money- may have to wait longer to get the funds and so this section will affect you also. The main provisions for this are in section 3 and Schedule 2 of the Act.
Children and vulnerable adults
The next significant section of the Act is all about children and vulnerable adults and will affect anyone involved in the Childrens Hearing system or who is involved with an incapax adult. The part about children is all about separate pieces of legislation relating to children. It is clear from the Schedule in the Act that the government is keen, as we would all want, to continue protecting children through the system but acknowledge that it might not always be possible for certain types of court hearings, known as Children's Hearings, to take place face-to-face. So what the Act does is allow certain modifications to those Hearings to allow those Hearings to take place and make sure that children are continued to be protected which of course is vital.
The Act also extends timeframes for applications relating to vulnerable adults and in particular, adults suffering from an incapacity. So for example if you have an elderly relative in a care home and you have made an application for Guardianship which is ongoing then certain time periods have been extended but also, if you have an existing guardianship order then 'time' is suspended whilst the Act is in force meaning it cannot expire or run out whilst the Act is in force. The main provisions for this are in section 4 and Schedule 3 of the Act.
The Act then looks at the Justice System and will affect anyone who has interaction with the court system. There are significant changes made in the Act including an allowance of the electronic submission and signature of documents- which was not in place before- but also the suspension of the necessity to attend in person for certain types of hearings as well as provisions to, as far as possible, ensure that where possible that the criminal courts can continue to operate as best they possibly can in these most trying of circumstances. The main provisions for this are in section 5 and Schedule 4 of the Act.
Alcohol licensing
The next main changes in the Act relate to alcohol licensing and it is applicable to those that were due to attend Licensing Tribunals and it is also applicable to those who are running licensed premises. The main provisions for this are in section 6 and Schedule 5 of the Act.
Public bodies
The final main change made in the Act relates to public bodies meaning it potentially affects anyone who requires to have interactions with public bodies. The changes made are temporary modifications to certain of the functions of public bodies in order that they can work through these very difficult times that we are going through just now. The main provisions for this are in section 7 and Schedule 6 of the Act.

Sworn Translation Services are quite crucial in different aspects and environments. Even with the existence of English an international language, other languages remain relevant within and among communities. This is where the importance of translators come in. however, having the ability to translate speech or text from a language to another does not mean that one is necessarily competent enough to translate all types of documents. Sworn Translation Services are services offered by professional bodies, whereby the translator provides a sworn affirmation that whatever they produce (document, speech) is an honest translation of the original material. So to speak, they do so under an oath. The said translation should bear the exact same meaning carried by the original or version in another language. However, what are some of the areas where Certified Translation Services may be required?
Translation of Business Materials
Business slogans, for example, are quite important as far as the brand's reputation and popularity is concerned. However, a direct translation of the slogan from a language to another may lead to a misinterpretation of the original meaning thereby leading to confusion in communication. Likewise, a professional interpreter may be needed to translate original copies of business documents such as contracts, mandates, certificates, licenses or such other legal documents into one that can be better understood by a recipient in question. A simple misrepresentation or error in translation could potentially lead to huge losses in business and customer base [1].
Accurate Translation for Legal Documents
In addition to preserving meaning, legal documents such as court decisions, or others like statements, speeches, and certificates may require being translated for an intended party that speaks a different language to better understand them. After translation, they should be free from errors and while carrying the intended meaning from the original document without bias.
Certification and Authenticity
Especially for legal documents, translated material requires being endorsed by a certified interpreter as true and certified copy of the original. For instance, some educational institutions require certified true copies of certificates such as like previous academic certificates, diplomas, birth certificate [2]. Others such as marriage certificates or death notifications need to be authentic and legitimate. There is a huge difference between a translated document and one that is translated and certified by a sworn translator, who may be contacted to affirm or prove that such a document is actually legitimate. These are just some of the reasons one should rely on a qualified, certified and experienced individual or organization for Sworn Translation Services.

Gunman opens fire on Stockton officers during traffic stop
No officers hurt during shooting
Stockton police are searching for a driver and a gunman who opened fire on a couple of police officers during a traffic stop, the police department said Tuesday.Two Stockton police officers were trying to pull over a vehicle for a traffic violation about 11 p.m. Monday on Acacia Street near Lincoln Street, Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones said.Someone inside the vehicle starting shooting at the marked police vehicle, striking the vehicle at least twice on the side door and the windshield, according to the police department. A stop sign was also hit by the gunfire.Officers took cover and were not injured. They were unable to return fire.Other Stockton police officers found the suspect vehicle and chased it on Center Street as the passenger began firing at a Stockton police sergeant, Jones said.The vehicle was last seen going south on Interstate 5. The gunman and the driver remain on the run.Detectives are actively investigating and are following several leads as to whom the assailants might be."This incident alone shows the extreme dangers of police work. As we often state, when a police officer pulls over a vehicle, regardless of the violation, that officer never knows what dangers lurk on the other end of that traffic stop," Jones posted on the department's Facebook page. "It could be a minor traffic violation, or it could be someone intent on murdering a police officer as was this case last night when Stockton Police Officers were targeted."The department said its officers are working around the clock to find those responsible for this shooting, adding that someone willing to fire on a police officer endangers the entire community."I'm thankful none of our officers, nor any innocent bystanders, were injured; and I'm so proud of the work our officers do in the face of extreme danger. I'm continually impressed with their courage and professionalism," Jones said. "In my opinion, officers showed great police work in trying to stop this vehicle, showed excellent tactics in taking cover from the incoming gunfire, and then showed great professionalism on deciding when and how to respond to the threat."Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the Stockton Police Department.

Using theory-based evaluation to build evidence-based health and social care policy and practice
Bonner, Lesley (2003) Using theory-based evaluation to build evidence-based health and social care policy and practice. Critical Public Health, 13 (1). pp. 77-92. ISSN 0958-1596
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/0958159031000100224
Building an evidence base to underpin policy and practice in health and social care is one of the cornerstones of New Labour's modernization programme. However, the history of evaluation research in Britain and America suggests that this enterprise may be thwarted as much by politics as by methodological debates. The 'paradigm wars' that characterize the social sciences also feature in the field of evaluation research, and changes in the way 'health' is conceptualized in the 'new public health' have intensified debates about approaches to evaluation and what counts as evidence. Health Action Zones have been vaunted as both the 'flagships' of the government's health policy and as 'learning initiatives'. This paper uses the example of Health Action Zones to discuss the use of a theory-based approach to evaluation for the purpose of generating the policy learning needed to tackle health inequalities, drawing on experience in Plymouth. The limitations of the 'traditional' approach to evaluation are examined, along with recent guidance from the Medical Research Council about evaluating complex community initiatives. It is argued that the case for theory-based evaluation extends beyond criticism of the traditional approach to develop evaluation theory and practice from the perspective of critical realism. This approach to evaluation seeks explanation and understanding about how and why projects 'work' or not in specific contexts, rather than pragmatic solutions to de-contextualized problems. The paper concludes by reflecting on the politics of evaluation in the field of health and social care, calling into question the government's commitment to evidence-based policy and practice

Mumbai Sets No Selfie Zones as Deaths Linked to Selfies Rise
Mumbai Sets No-Selfie Zones as Deaths Linked to Selfies Rise
By Associated Press | Updated: 25 February 2016 11:54 IST
Look around in any major Indian city, and you will find someone with an arm outstretched, mobile phone in hand, smiling widely and clicking away. Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi has embraced the medium, posting pictures online he's snapped with various world leaders.
But the pursuit of the most epic selfie can have lethal consequences.
India is home to the highest number of people who have died while taking photos of themselves, with 19 of the world's 49 recorded selfie-linked deaths since 2014, according to San Francisco-based data service provider Priceonomics. The statistic may in part be due to India's sheer size, with 1.25 billion citizens and one of the world's fastest-growing smartphone markets.
Alarmed by the trend, Mumbai has declared 16 no-selfie zones across the city, as authorities warn people against taking unnecessary risks.
Earlier this month, an 18-year-old college student on a class picnic lost his balance while taking a selfie atop a rock near a dam near the central Indian city of Nashik. He fell into the water and drowned, along with a classmate who jumped in to try and save him.
Last month, an 18-year-old woman fell and drowned in the sea while taking a photo of herself at Mumbai's Bandstand Fort, a popular tourist spot.
An engineering student sustained fatal head injuries when a rock he was standing cracked and sent him tumbling. He'd been trying to take a selfie with friends in front of the Kolli Hills in Tamil Nadu.
And in January 2014, three students aged 20 to 22 died when they stopped to take a photo with a speeding train approaching, and were hit. They'd been on their way to visit the Taj Mahal.
In Mumbai, police have declared selfies off-limits in areas perceived as risky - particularly along the coastline in spots with no railings or barriers. Anyone venturing into off-limits areas, even if they take no photos, risks being slapped with a fine of Rs. 1,200, or about $18.
After the woman's death last month, the city's police conducted a survey to identify such dangerous places, police official Dhananjay Kulkarni said. The city also plans to run an awareness campaign.
Despite clearly marked signs demarking the selfie-free zones, people can still be seen clicking away, and often going to the edges or standing on ledges to get the most thrilling shots.
"When you are traveling alone, and do not have anyone to take your pictures, then it's only selfie," said Murtuza Rangwala, a student in Mumbai.
Mumbai psychologist Keerti Sachdeva said she doesn't expect the constant pursuit of selfies to end any time soon, saying one probable reason is the need for acceptance and love.
"You know people have this sort of feeling in adolescent age, especially that they need to get this acceptance from everyone, that I am a smart person, I am a good-looking person," Sachdeva said. "So for acceptance and recognition they are indulging in taking of selfies."

Home Life & Style A Personal Touch
Corrie McGee
The old adage, "Home is where the heart is," finds a great example in one Jenks residence.
When the owners set out to build a house, they pulled from precious resources – their memories and family history.
"The design of each room is based on a memory," the owner says, allowing meaningful details to be incorporated throughout the house.
To achieve their dream home, the homeowners enlisted the expertise of architect John Duvall and builder Tony Jordan of Jordan & Sons. The result was a multi-level stone home that blends an Old World feel with a rich, cozy comfort befitting a family.
"We're comfortable people, we didn't want a museum," the owner shares.
It's that natural sense of ease and belonging that dictates the beauty of the structure itself. The owners and their team selected an Oklahoma fieldstone and beam work for the exterior, which enhances the authenticity.
"We wanted the house to fit the surroundings, like the stone could've been pulled right up from the ground," she says.
"They had their personal touches throughout the home," Jordan says. Everything, including the meaningful details, Old World charm and custom cabinetry throughout the home, was meticulously planned.
That personal touch is what truly sets this home apart. By having each room designed based on a memory, the theme of the home isn't just a style, but the family itself.
In other areas of the house, there are meaningful numbers etched in stone or glass. For instance, the homeowners had the number "1676" carved into the glass on their pantry door because that was the partial address of the home they lived in when their children were born.
"It's just little things that other people might not notice, but they're meaningful to our family," she shares.
The owner commissioned a stained glass window design of her and her husband's Scottish family crests combined and placed in the main stairwell.
"It bathes the staircase in colorful light and represents these two families coming together," she shares.
It was important to bring the outdoors indoors for this nature-loving family. Designer Julie Kirkendall of Kirkendall Design helped create a space that celebrated the splendor of natural elements, as well as catered to the needs and interests of the entire family.
The Old World touch was brought in to again reflect bits of a Scottish manor or castle, which meshed beautifully with the outdoor elements.
The centerpiece of the family room is an impressive fireplace structure made of the same exterior stone. Above the fireplace is intricate beam work that complements the stone.
Throughout the home, every drawer and cabinet was custom built by Sullivan's Custom Cabinetry in Tulsa, with built-in organizational features. From the master closet to the workroom, every thing has a place.
The workroom features a zinc countertop, a series of apothecary drawers and cabinetry as well as a wrapping station complete with rods for each roll of paper.
Every space is designed to facilitate the close-knit family and their friends spending time together.
"We can have a party of 30 and no one leaves the kitchen," the owner, an avid cook, says.
Complete with a cooking, baking and cleaning station in addition to a farmhouse sink with all the mainstays close at hand, this kitchen lacks for nothing, including style. From the stone flooring to the brick ceiling the space exudes charm.
Even when they play, it's still as a family.
"We play year-round competitive basketball and my husband helps coach, so they could either be at the gym all the time or we could create the space here," she says of the indoor court.
Be it in the personal details or the functional organization, from top to bottom this home reflects the rich history of a family and most importantly the family itself.

Mapping in R
This course will teach you how spatial data may be written/read and visualized in R, and show how publication quality maps may be produced in R, based on the GISTools package, as well as providing a review of a number of other diverse methods for visually representing geographical information in R.
This course will teach you how spatial data may be visualized in R and provides a review of a number of other diverse methods for visually representing geographical information in R.
R provides a flexible environment for statistical analysis, including a number of facilities to manipulate, visualize and analyze spatial information. Here, the emphasis is on visualization. "Mapping in R" concentrates on the use of R for the display of spatial data, especially area lattice data (e.g. states, counties, provinces). You will learn how to handle different map projections, how to incorporate data acquired over the internet, and how to produce publication quality maps. Much of the work involves the use of the instructor's own GISTools package, and you will review a number of other diverse methods to use R to visually represent geographical information.
Students who complete this course will understand the strengths and weaknesses of R as a tool for creating maps. Students will learn how to manipulate spatial objects, how to create legends, scales and labels, and how to map data from the Internet. You will also explore other approaches to mapping using a variety of mapping and graphics tools.
Appraise the use of R as a tool for creating maps, identifying its strengths and weaknesses
Read shapefile data into R and visualiuze it with rgdal
Produce scales, north arrows, labels, legends and coloring schemes
Map data from the internet
Use rgeos for basic GIS operations
Those who have a need to incorporate data with a spatial location into the R environment, appraise the use of packages in R to visualize such data (as opposed to use of a GIS) and to produce publication quality maps of these data, including mashing them onto public domain products such as Google Maps.
Prof. Chris Brunsdon
Prof. Chris Brunsdon is currently Professor of Geocomputation, and Director of the National Centre for Geocomputation, at the National University of Ireland, Maynooth, having taken up the position in January 2014.

If you are new to R and doubtful about your ability to learn R quickly enough to follow along in the course, we recommend first taking one of the introductory R courses.
This course definitely adds another dimension to my map visualization capabilities other than just relying on QGIS.
Eugene Chua
This was an awesome course! I learned so much about mapping. This is a fascinating topic and I wish you had a specialty just on that!

Werewolf: The Last Warrior, known in Japan as , is a Nintendo Entertainment System platform game about a werewolf that made its debut in November 1990 in North America. It starred a werewolf character named "Warwolf".

Story
The game takes place on "Red Earth"—Earth's second colony planet. Dr. Faryan adventured into a cave and awoke an ancient evil that made him turn into an evil entity. Afterwards, Dr. Faryan created an army of evil mutants who imprisoned nearly everyone on Earth. The only hope for humanity is a man named Ken, the last of a tribe of changelings who has the ability to transform into a werewolf named "Warwolf".

Gameplay
Getting red "W"s will allow Ken to turn into a werewolf, granting him a longer-range melee attack, and a wall-climbing ability. Getting blue "W"s, while in werewolf form will make Ken turn back into a man. Getting bubbles will fill his anger meter and getting five of them will turn him into a super werewolf that can jump higher and do double damage for a limited time.

> The album's fairly short, especially compared to the length of the movie > it's surprisingly short and considering how much music actually is in the > movie, I wouldn't be surprised. What do you think? I certainly hope so. I don't like the score that much, but the portions I like the most are actually missing from the album as well.
