Map shows the 5 Nottinghamshire postcodes with Covid rates significantly higher than average
There are also several areas with low rates of infection
Andrew Topping
The Covid-19 surveillance map has shown the Nottinghamshire areas with significantly high and low infection rates.
A Covid-19 surveillance map has shown the five areas in Nottinghamshire with rates significantly higher than average - and those significantly lower.
The map, on the daily Public Health England dashboard, shows all the areas hit by flare-ups of the disease as well as those least impacted by the virus.
The data breaks down the country into 'Middle Layer Super Output Areas' (MSOAs), which are small areas of about 8,000 people used for population surveys.
And across Nottinghamshire, five of these MSOAs have rates which are significantly higher than the England average of 374.9 cases per 100,000 people.
A further eight areas have significantly low rates, while a neighbouring Derbyshire town also has lower infection numbers.
The area with the highest active rate of cases is Wilford and Silverdale, to the south of Nottingham city, with a rate of 535.1.
Redhill, in Gedling, has the second-highest rate of infection - recording 474.9 cases per 100,000 people in the seven days to December 21.
Neighbouring Woodthorpe and Arno Vale also recorded a significantly high rate in this window, with a rate of 408 per 100,000 people.
The fourth area is Kirkby Larwood and Kingsway, in Ashfield, which registered a rate of 455.2 cases per 100,000 people in the same seven-day period.
Worksop Kilton, in Bassetlaw, also had a significantly high rate of 410.1 cases for every 100,000 residents.
However, across the county, there are also several areas with rates considerably below the national average - a rate of less than 100.
Three Broxtowe areas currently have considerably low rates of infection, with Chilwell West recording 85.1 cases per 100,000 people in the week ending December 21.
Neighbouring Bramcote's rate also stood below 100, at 95.4, while Attenborough and Chilwell East's rate was slightly lower at 92.2 cases per 100,000 people.
In Bassetlaw, Retford South's rate stood at 93.3 cases per 100,000 people, while Southwell, in the Newark and Sherwood district, had a rate of just 54.1.
However, the area with the lowest rate is in the city - Arboretum, Forest and Trent University - where the rate is marginally lower than Southwell's at 53.8 cases per 100,000 people.
This is one of three areas in the city to record low rates, with St Ann's West (71.9) and Radford (80.7) making up the other two.
Over the border in Derbyshire, Long Eaton Town also had a low rate of 82.8 cases per 100,000 people.

Much of the information coming out of Iran is in the form of footage uploaded to the Internet without the benefit of much description or explanation. Each installment in the Close-up series will provide an in-depth analysis of a single video.
As the dust settles on the furor provoked by dramatic footage first touted as that of a dead protester's father being slapped by an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) officer, it appears that the video illustrates a no-less-interesting case of internecine friction within the regime camp.
For the sake of disclosure, this blogger also joined the ranks of the pitchfork-and-torch mob and quickly described the video in a tweet on Monday as 'Father of a dead protester takes IRGC officer to task.' But upon reviewing several reports and carefully translating the full exchange, the facts appear to be inconsistent with the initial claims.
First, the individuals in the video. The man with his back to the camera describes himself as the father of a deceased young man and a 40%-disabled veteran of the Iran-Iraq war with 28 and a half years of service within the IRGC. This would almost certainly make him at least a mid-level IRGC officer and the fact that he addresses the IRGC officer using the word tow, the more informal second-person pronoun, instead of shoma may confirm that he is fairly senior. (NB The French equivalent would be the difference between tu and vous). The quality of the footage is poor, however the IRGC officer sitting to the cleric's left is almost certainly General Abdollah Araghi, Greater Tehran's IRGC chief and commander of the Mohammad Rasoulollah (Mohammed, Prophet of God) Brigade. Not only does the father refer to him as Mr. Araghi, but a comparison to one of Araghi's rare photos seems to bear this out. The cleric, again notwithstanding the poor quality of the video, appears to be Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's former representative within the IRGC. The footage can be compared to the photo to the right.
Several news sources confirm that the man's son was killed, but give a different account of the details. The man's son, a Basiji, was killed in an altercation with another individual living in a residential complex of buildings where a large number of IRGC officers and their families reside. The killer was a seyed, a direct male descendant of the Prophet Mohammad. He was supported by the IRGC which tried to obtain the father's consent to not execute the killer, but the father refused and the individual was hanged. Araghi subsequently mustered the IRGC and Basij's resources to organize a funeral service for the killer in the residential complex. The father not only complained about this misuse of resources, but said that he had been threatened by elements linked to the IRGC.
You've organized a funeral service for the killer in the same residential complex in which this innocent Basiji was murdered. Go ahead and organize a funeral service for the father of the killer too. Why did you use the sepah's (IRGC's) resources for the service of a murderer? They threatened me. I was harassed by rabble and louts. I announce here that if I'm killed, Mr. Araghi is responsible (he points to the IRGC officer). My life is in danger. I'm a 40% disabled janbaz (veteran of the Iran-Iraq War). I've served 28 and a half years in the sepah. But these people have supported a killer, that's my complaint. Why should the Revolutionary Guards defend a murderer and insult me. He insulted me.
We'll attend the service and you can go and complain. Do whatever you can.
Why should I have consented. If your child had been killed, would you have consented? What a foolish expectation! I was a man and had him executed. It was God's verdict!
Why are you saying 'If you were a man'?
You're the one who isn't a man!
This video does not seem to show a dead protester's father being slapped by an IRGC officer. While the regime continues to commit horrendous crimes, any rumor-mongering and dissemination of untruths can only discredit the veracity of true cases of human rights violations in Iran.
U2 continues to support the green movement with a special rendition of 'Sunday, Bloody Sunday.' 'For freedom on the streets of Iran,' Bono called out to the spectators at the Chicago concert, Saturday, September 12. 'Don't give up!' he cried out at one point in the song.

... And millions of Americans have already prepared for this secular holiday. Sales of Halloween candy, decorations, and costumes are brisk, even though our nation's financial crisis is far from over.
Halloween has grown into the nation's second largest holiday. Only Christmas produces larger retail sales... ."
"The National Retail Federation estimated the average consumer in 2003 spent about $41.77 on Halloween-related items, including $14.41 on candy, $14.85 on costumes and $10.37 on decorations. Total retail sales in 2003 surpassed $7 billion, up from $2.5 billion in 1997."
"Consumers spent about $2 billion on candy last year, making Halloween the biggest season for sweets. And the $586 million spent on decorations makes Halloween second behind only the Christmas season."
I find these facts rather unsettling. From my perch, here at the "Academy," I have been observing the rising popularity in all things paranormal. For example, on the subject of ghosts and hauntings, I have found an abundance of television programs featuring ghosts, contact with the dead, and ridding homes of unwanted spirits.
Why am I writing about these things? What makes me qualified? Experience! Statistically, I must be part of a rare subset of people: people who have had several experiences with ghosts and hauntings in several different locations and countries. All told, I've had at least 19 separate experiences of paranormal activity. My first experience came when I was five-years-old. My most recent one: last month.
Over the years -- because of my experiences -- I have read a lot of books, done a lot of research, and asked a lot of questions about ghosts and hauntings. As a priest, I expanded my knowledge of things that go bump in the night -- by contemplating Scripture, examining Church History, and studying the Church's teachings to cast light on these phenomena.
"If you play with fire, you are going to get burned."
"He who knows better has never tried it."
Or as Steven Wright once said: "Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards.
You catch my drift. I'm sure that, by now, you understand the direction my thoughts are leading you in. People are tinkering with something seriously dangerous. And videotaping it for all to see and be misled.
In a lot of ways, this fascination with the paranormal is increasing as our society distances itself further and further from God and true religion. Ouija Boards. Seances. Psychics and Mediums. Ghost hunting with cool technology. Clubs whose sole focus is to experience the paranormal. It's like having the dark version of Halloween every day.
These constitute a "religion without God." And more and more people are being lured into it -- and dangerously deceived by it.
Who are all these ghosts anyhow? What causes hauntings, really? What is wrong with consulting a psychic or medium? Or conducting a Seance? Or using a Ouija Board? Or hunting for ghosts?
I hope to explore these questions with you in future Posts. Until next time, here's a proverb to think about and apply to the subjects in our brief exploration of paranormal activities: "Dead men tell no tales."

New Indian Army Officer Intake Norms Delight SSC | Know Details
Vaishali Sonik
Big news for Indian Army Aspirants [SSC], the recruitment procedure for the Officers rank has been renewed and the pattern for selection has also been changed by the government. This decision has been taken to bring a positive impact on career progression along with lowering the age profile of the Colonel-above ranks.
The Three Dimensions of the Change
This change in the recruitment pattern by the Indian army is set on the three different dimensions. The three dimensions of this decision include UES that is University Entry Scheme, SSC that is Short Service Commission, TGC that is Technical Graduate Course.
Presently the Indian Army Recruitment is set to favor the regular cadre. This decision was carried out to lower the age of the profiles of the combat forces. Recently, at the meeting recommended by the AVSC [Ajai Vikram Singh Committee]. In this meeting, the ratio of 1:1.1 going on between the full-time regular cadre officers and the support cadre was confronted.
New Norms for SSC Officers to Retire At Age of 40-42 with Pension
Until now the army has been allowing the SSC officer to serve for 14 years. After halting the two types of entries, new norms for SSC Cadre has been proposed. The serving duration of the SSC Cadre is now increased to the duration of years. With this new norm of serving for 20 years, make them eligible for pensions, that is great. Also, according to the new norms, the officers will get retire at the age of- 40-42, getting ample time for moving to the second career.
Once, the decision is finalized on the SSC Officer selection, it will alter the available selection pool for the ranks above Colonel. The idea of achieving the Combat Effectiveness was pitched in the meeting set up by AVSC in 2001. This idea was focused on bringing down the age of the cadres and improving the effectiveness of the battalion or brigade level commanders. Wherein in 2004, the first part of the decision was undertaken there, the last part for SSC modifications was pending since then.
The new policy for the Indian Army Officer Recruitments through SSC will not only reduce the age of the Officer but will enhance the effectiveness of the Command and will allow them to serve for 20 long years, making them eligible for the pension.

"You're purer than gold/ I'm loving your uh uh/ I'm loving your soul" It appears that SilentJay may have produced the entirety - or at least the majority - of this album, and this track right here has some Goodie Mobb vibes to it and I'm here for it.

"Sometimes when I get lonely, all I do is think about you/ sometimes when I get angry' everything I do is for you/ laying it on the line' telling her all the time/ somehow my words just don't get through/ sometimes when I get crazy' all I do is wanna see you" There's a lot of poetry behind the noise, however, as I witnessed when they opened up for Rascal Flatts in Point Pleasant around 2008, when I was working as an intern for 95.5 WPLJ.

Funeral gripes fuel Buddhist rethink
by Takeshi Nishide, Japan Times, Dec 4, 2013
Kyoto, Japan -- An increasing number of Buddhist priests are re-evaluating funeral services amid rapidly changing attitudes over the way they are conducted.
<< Thinking outside the box: Junshin Hashimoto, chief priest of Nanto Jurin-in Temple, listens to a visitor in a consultation space in a shopping district in the city of Nara on Nov. 3.
Hideo Usui, chief executive of Jiin Design Co., which provides business advice to Buddhist temples, is among those helping spur the revision.
In July, Usui held a seminar for priests, pointing to gaps in perception of funeral services between them and consumers, who often complain about high costs — like ¥300,000 for a short Buddhist chant.
Usui also spoke about the history of Buddhist priests consoling the spirits of the dead and easing the sorrow of the bereaved. Despite growing discontent with high funeral costs, priests have "refused to squarely face the question of how 'Funeral Buddhism' should be," he said.
Funeral Buddhism, or "soshiki bukkyo" in Japanese, refers to widespread practices by priests focusing only on funerals, rites and activities after death. It is often used to criticize Buddhist monks' inability to help the living.
The seminar led to the establishment of a study panel on Buddhist funerals, which held its first meeting in mid-November in Tokyo. Some 30 priests participated.
Member priests of the panel are increasingly concerned about weakening ties between temples and people, which used to be much tighter, mainly through funeral services. As relationships in extended families have weakened and family-based traditions have faded in modern Japan, people are tending to shy away from funerals and instead bring the bodies of their family members directly to crematoriums.
And yet many people reaffirmed the importance of funeral services following the massive earthquake and tsunami of March 2011 that ravaged the Tohoku region.
Members of the panel therefore will take up such issues as how best to provide solace to grieving people in order to become "pioneers of new Buddhism," one of the participants said.
Wajo Ogurosawa, 29, deputy head priest at Shoganji, a temple in Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture, belonging to the Soto sect, says he wants to know how funeral services should be conducted as he heard that his temple was founded in the early 17th century to console the spirits of miners killed in a cave-in. Some 120 supporters of the temple died in the 2011 quake and tsunami.
The disaster "helped me reconfirm the importance of funerals and of our role in administering them," Ogurosawa said. "Funerals are the origin of our temple and we will strive to have people feel good after holding or attending funerals."
Such services came under scrutiny in 2009 when retail giant Aeon Co. entered the funeral business and posted standards for monetary offerings to priests on its website. It shocked many temples and invited strong protests from some of them.
Some priests have broken with convention, however. Junshin Hashimoto, the 65-year-old chief priest of Nanto Jurin-in Temple in the city of Nara, visits the homes of recently deceased people to chant scriptures and after cremation lays out their remains in the temple's main hall, which is designated as a national treasure. He makes clear he charges ¥160,000 for each funeral.
Hashimoto says he has conducted funerals for a number of families, including those who initially avoided a service but asked him to administer one because they felt "unsettled."
Hashimoto has also set up a consultation office in a shopping district to directly meet people in need of advice.
"People in general still find it difficult to visit temples," Hashimoto said. "I would like to change the image of temples."

SmartCitiesCouncil
Welcome to our work to promote the use of data and insights to fuel prosperity, productivity and sustainability in our cities, towns and regions.
The Vitals
In pursuing our mission to catalyse data leadership across our cities, towns and regions, we are raising greater awareness and capacity around the five Data Leadership Vitals - data purpose, privacy, security, ethics and governance. These are the 'north star' when it comes to data leadership. We created the 'Vitals' to help organisations break down the journey to build greater capability in delivering social, economic and environmental value from data to our communities.
Data Activation
We are promoting opportunities around key 'data activation' platforms such as data trusts, data exchanges and digital twins. These are three approaches to activating data that can support our mission to fuel prosperity, productivity and sustainability in our cities, towns and regions.
Here are some resources to further explore the opportunities from these platforms and approaches:
Data Trust Overview - Coming Soon... a video summarising some of the key attributes and opportunities of developing a data trust to support your data governance and activation aspirations.
Data Exchange Canvas - a practical tool to help your organisation understand, track and act on supporting data exchange activities to unlock value.
The Digital Twin Hub - a community platform created for those who own, create or participate in the Digital Twin ecosystem and wish to learn more, or participate in the creation of a thriving digital twin market place in Australia and New Zealand.
The Data Leadership Influencers50
The Data Leadership Influencers50 is a list of the most influential policy makers, practitioners and academics in data leadership across Australia and New Zealand. It is our way of rewarding those who champion data leadership in the region. Each year the Smart Cities Council will reveal the cohort of Influencers and celebrate their leadership at a virtual ceremony.
What is Data Leadership?
We view data leadership through the lens of the five Data Leadership Vitals, and the ability to use data for impactful purposes - what we call 'data activation'.
Who should nominate?
Anyone working with data to enhance social, economic and environmental outcomes can nominate themselves or their peers. Nominations are open to all sectors - public, private, academia and NGO's. If you feel you or a peer has demonstrable evidence of advancing data leadership, consider nominating yourself, or them.
How many people can you nominate?
You are welcome to nominate as many people as you like. However please consider the criteria, and ensure their experience is relevant and they have had an impact in their work.
What is the cost to enter?
There is no cost to nominate either yourself or a peer.
When do nominations close?
The Data Leadership Influencers50 winners are announced at the beginning of each year. Nominations for the 2022 list closes on Friday, 17 December 2021.
How are nominations assessed?
The independent Jury reviews each nomination submission to score its level of alignment with the following criteria:
Advancement of the Data Leadership Vitals - purpose, privacy, security, ethics and governance
Leadership in data activation - by supporting insights-driven decision making using emerging approaches such as data trusts, data exchanges and Digital Twins.
How do you submit a nomination?
Our online portal facilitates both self-nominations, and nomination of peers.

Q: Where to place common user data without administrative right? My VB.NET application needs to store a text file in a local machine. Each time the application starts, it needs to write information to that text file regardless of any user in the machine.
1) Registry is out of option. User has no write access to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software. HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software is not preferred as users need to provide licence unlock key whenever they open application for the first time. I only want the licence unlock key to be provided once after it is installed by any user. The licence unlock key will be written in the text file.
2) I have tried Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData and created a folder to store the text file. It works well when administrator installs it and administrator can open the application. Once the user logs in on the same machine, the application manages to show splash screen but it stops working. No error message appears and it disappears in the Task Manager's Details tab. I still can see the text file in Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData.
3) I have checked other question related to this problem before. One of the comments suggested Isolated Storage. However, I am not sure if I will get the same outcome as (2) above when I use Isolated Storage.
Questions:
1) Where should the licence file be stored in a local machine, which is common to all user and all user should have write, read access to that licence file?

A: Other considerations aside, CommonApplicationData is still the right place for this file.
When your installer initially creates the file, have it set permissions allowing INTERACTIVE to write to it.  Ideally, you should only grant FILE_GENERIC_WRITE permission, so that non-admin users can't delete the file or change the permissions again.
