Honda's stop-gap supermini was a flop – the Logo was no go. However, it's successor, the Jazz (known as Fit in Japan), promises to be the real thing – a big player in the B-segment, dominated by Fiesta, Fabia, Yaris et al.
Clever packaging, thanks to the short-nose/tall build design, gives spacious accommodation. While rear legroom isn't anything to write home about (it's no match for several rivals', for example), kneeroom, headroom and footspace are all generous. There's also enough width for three in the back with a trio of "proper" seatbelts.
Then there's the Jazz's nifty party piece. Thanks to the fuel tank's central location, there are two different ways of folding the 60/40 divided back seat. This so called "magic seat" will tip forwards to create a completely flat load floor or, with cushions raised (like cinema seats), open up a spacious load area in the middle of the car. This elegant arrangement is clever, because you still have the seats with you if needs be.
The front seats aren't soft, but give the sort of posture support we really appreciated on longer trips. The Jazz needs them because the suspension can't quill the bumps on a typical British byway and we found the electric steering too heavily and uninformative; Honda's twin Achilles' heels – reflected in the Civic, as well.
However, when it comes to (petrol) engines there's nobody better and, sure enough, the Jazz has a gem! It's an all-alloy, single-cam unit with two spark plugs per cylinder, plus variable valve timing.
As expected, it gives both healthy acceleration with excellent fuel economy, as well as mechanical refinement. Indeed, there should be a higher-geared version in the line-up, to exploit its economy potential more the unit's low-speed manners would make this no hardship.
In fact, there is a CVT automatic imminent, which will inevitably result in longer striding overall gearing – a prospect we relish.
One of the nice things about the Jazz is the generous level of equipment and trim even on the "basic" S version – with identical power units, as well. Our choice would be the mid-range SE, however – for the extra £1300 you get some really worthwhile enhancements inside, including both sunroof and air conditioning.
Careful fit and a good finish (so long as you like dimpled plastic) give the cabin a quality feel and the underbonnet appearance is pristine, too. Then there's Honda's reputation for reliability to consider, as well.
This Honda supermini is Peugeot 206/Corsa-sized outside, so it's shorter than later newcomers. Yet ingenious packaging and a semi-MPV profile have reaped significant accommodation benefits. Quite simply, all hatchbacks ought to have back seats that fold the Jazz way. It's a pity, therefore, that it doesn't ride or steer as well as the best in class. Otherwise, there would be little to criticise.
Alert, poised cornering by too heavy and inert steering response; Civic experience indicates this can vary from car to car - electronic steering suspect.
Ride turbulent more than harsh, but sweet engine, whether idling or cruising - all the way to 70mph. Seats make up for ride's deficiencies and heating/ventilation is impeccable. Very aimable as a town car.
Can sound like an angry bee when revved through the gears, but reluctant acceleration well up to par and remarkably flexible in low-speek pulling. Super gears and clutch.
Not quite up to Honda's optimistic claims, yet we're entirely satisfied, in view of the acceleration abilable, too. Short-legged gearing makes it thirstier on the motorway, however.
Excellent tally of injury-prevention features, with a 4 star NCAP rating on the cards; kinder to pedestrians, too. Brakes have nice progression (braker assist works as well), but best stop disappointing.
Back seat folding is indeed magic! It's all so easy to achieve, and exposed nether regions are fully trimmed. Boot space bigger than rivals', with a roller blind. The price is only a "space saver" spare.
A good tally of features - most are also on base model which is even more impressive. Key-locked fuel filler is OK once you've got the knack - but don't lose the key!

"WHEN HOLINESS FAILS" - (AND CONTINUES TO FAIL US WITH INTENT AND MALICE! - A MUST READ-UOJ)
When Holiness Fails
Neil Rubin
Editor - Baltimore Jewish Times
The following sermon was delivered by Rabbi Elan Adler on April 28, 2007 at Moses Montefiore Anshe Emunah Hebrew Congregation in Pikesville.......
A terrible thing has happened in our Jewish community, something that has caught us off guard and sent us reeling. We found out, through publicity in the BALTIMORE JEWISH TIMES, that even the holiest of Jewish people are only human, and that the Jewish community is not immune to sexual abuse by clergy and other people of authority.
By now you must have read the article, which was a cover story a couple of months ago, about a young man the JEWISH TIMES referred to as Steve, who was sexually abused by Orthodox Rabbis.
A few weeks ago, the JEWISH TIMES editor wrote of a group of men who gather as friends, all of whom shared experiences of being molested by Jewish teachers.
And just last week came the news of a well known and respected Orthodox rabbi whose sexual abuse was corroborated by several victims, most of them while they were kids and who are now in their 50's or 60's. The article graphically described what is known clinically as predatory behavior, by a revered teacher and rabbi who fondled and molested his students, perhaps as many as hundreds of them.
Many of you, as well as many in our community, were incensed by the article, feeling that it is lashon harah, evil gossip about someone, and further, considering that the rabbi died almost 20 years ago, the article was a disgrace of a man who could hardly defend himself against the onslaught of accusation. And besides, many of you said, he was a kind and comforting man who had the finest reputation, a reputation now being tarnished in full view of the public.
I have to say that when the most recent article first came out, and it named names which the first one didn't, I was torn. On the one hand, one teaching of our Jewish tradition kept flashing in my mind, and it actually comes from the names of the Torah portions this morning, which are Acharei Mot and Kedoshim. On their own, they are just names of portions, but when you put them together, they are a statement: Acharei Mot means after the death, and Kedoshim means holy things. Put together, it says,
After the death, you say holy things, and this has been a guiding principle for centuries, the idea that after someone passes away, you find the nicest and most complimentary things to say. In rabbinic school, when learning about how to prepare eulogies, we were taught exactly this: once someone has died, focus on the positive and desirable attributes of the person, and let the rest be.
That's how part of me felt when the recent article came out.
The other part of me was not reserved for this particular rabbi, but for any rabbi or cantor, or teacher or person of authority who would use their power and intimidation to violate the bodies of children under their care and supervision. I felt anger towards anyone, especially a religious Jew, who would repeatedly molest a child, knowing that the child would be scared to tell anyone. I felt anger for the victims, who didn't know where to turn or who to tell, and who would likely carry their shame in silence, and whose lives would be forever affected by the brazen abuser.
The story of abuse in our community in not about a deceased Rabbi, or about one particular segment of our community, or even about what should be published and what should not. In my opinion, the story of abuse in our community is how it has been misunderstood, how it has been covered up, and how it will be dealt with.
Sexual abuse has been terribly misunderstood. I know that because of the many ways confirmations of abuse have been mishandled by people who should have known better.
Do you remember when the extent of this abuse first became publicized about the Catholic Church? I remember when bishops and cardinals and others in high authority were cross-examined about what they knew, and when they knew it, and how they handled known molesters in the church.
When being asked, over and over again we heard testimony that sounded something like this: We didn't know what to do about the allegations regarding Father Dawson, but then we heard several more, and we knew we had to do something about it. So what did you do? Well, we mandated Father Dawson to seek psychological help or maybe even psychiatric help, and we thought that would cure the problem, and perhaps a month of that was not enough.
And after that month, did Father Dawson still have contact with children? Well, yes, we thought he was over the problem, and that his sessions with the professionals had straightened him out. That what the testimony sounded like over and over again. At best, not understanding; at worst, minimizing the problem, sending Father Dawson to parish after parish, where he abuses more and more, and in the wake of the misunderstood lusts of Father Dawson lay the strewn and ruined lives of his victims.
What were they thinking? Didn't they read today's Torah portion as part of the Old Testament? Didn't they read chapter 18 of the book of Leviticus, the many verses that describe the various relationships forbidden by the Torah? These verses are read on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year during the mincha service, and they are unbelievable in what they forbid. Do not have relations with your mother, do not have relations with your sister, do not have relations with your uncle, do not have relations with your sister-in-law, if you are a male, do not have relations with another male as you would with a female…….you've probably read these or heard of these, and you may ask, why did you call them unbelievable?
I'll tell you why, because most people reading this list of forbidden relationships would have a one-word Yiddish reponse- Feh! Who would want to have relations with these people? What kind of sick mind would go there? And the answer is exactly what makes the list unbelievable, and this is why God had to say them- because people do have these desires and these lusts, and they need to be curbed. Why didn't the hierarchy in the church not understand this and remove the priests from the temptations? Why did they think that a few sessions with a shrink would obliterate and extinguish what God himself knows to be in the human mind?
And so they were sent from parish to parish, exponentially victimizing unsuspecting children and teens, knowing that ignorance and silence are two of the greatest allies of sexual abusers.
And, my friends, the leaders of the Jewish community may have misdiagnosed the confirmations of abuse as well. In last week's Torah portion, in speaking of the Metzorah, the one who had a leper's disease, the Torah says in Leviticus 14:54, Zot Hatorah lechol nega, this is the law for every affliction. But the Talmud in Eruvin 54a has this teaching: Zot Hatorah, this Torah, the study of Torah, Lechol nega, is good for every ailment. The teaching was a very traditional one, namely, that for whatever ails you, the Torah is the remedy- if you have a headache, study the Torah. If you have any pain or affliction, the Torah is the remedy.
I can relate to you at least a dozen times where I've heard a parent of a formerly religious child, who had severe psychological problems or who was dealing with drug and alcohol abuse, when asking their Rabbi for help, the Rabbi would say, "if he studied the Torah more, if he davened better, if he performed more commandments, everything would be fine."
It's a traditional teaching, but it's terribly misguided. Someone who is a sexual predator and abuser and molester needs heavy duty professional help over long periods of time. It doesn't matter if they're Orthodox, conservative or reform, reconstructionist, humanist, secular, Buddhist or Moslem, and to say that study or observance will take care of it is irresponsible and inexcusable.
So one story of abuse in our community is how it has been so gravely misunderstood and therefore minimized to the detriment of the innocent victims.
You may say, Rabbi, we didn't know then what we know now, about human behavior and how to treat people who abuse. That may be so, but another story of abuse in our community is those who knew, and continue to know, and who say nothing.
They say nothing because they don't want to shame or embarrass their institutions. They say nothing because they don't want to embarrass the family of the abuser, or because they feel it will affect the "marriagability" of the abusers children or even the abused. Or they say nothing because they think the problem will go away, or because they pity the abuser who can't control himself but who is otherwise a very nice person.
Those who know, and who don't report, are shameful accomplices to the shredded and humiliated lives of the victims. Are there such people in our community? You decide.
This is from a letter distributed by the Vaad Harrabanim to all Orthodox households prior to the JEWISH TIMES article:
"In the past, many mistakes were made in handling situations. Abusers were often not recognized for what they were, as it was too difficult to believe that otherwise good people could do such things, nor was it sufficiently appreciated what damage such acts could cause. It was often thought that if the abuser was spoken to or warned, and perhaps moved to a different environment, he would never do those things again. In responding this way, many terrible mistakes were made and tragic consequences resulted. We have seen too often the immediate or eventual failure of these "behind the scenes" agreements to keep the perpetrators away from others."
I was one of the rabbis who signed the letter. But I did not write the letter. Behind the scenes agreements is something I should have asked about prior to signing the letter. When were these agreements made? Twenty years ago when rabbis were more naïve, or 20 days ago, when it could signal a coverup?
Are there Rabbis and principals and leaders in the know, who know, but won't say anything? This is something that needs to be investigated, and investigated with seriousness and speed. If there are abusive ticking bombs in our community, and we don't do everything we can to prevent another abuse, and people are being protected, it should make us feel tremendously uncomfortable.
So this story is not about a deceased rabbi, or just about one particular segment of our community, or about what should be published or what should not. It is about how it has been misunderstood, and how it's been covered up and may continue to be, and it's about a third area, how it will be dealt with from now on.
There is no question that if we know of a sexual predator, especially one who abuses children, Jewish law or halachah that this abuser is called a rodeph, literally a pursuer, one who is effectively poised to destroy innocent lives and therefore, virtually any means may be used to stop him and bring him to justice.
Not just from hearsay or innuendo, but once an abuser has been reported and corroborated by at least two other sources, we must speedily stop that person and expose him. In many cases, the most effective method to protect the community is to publicize the abuser's name.
Some may consider that a shanda, but we must be mindful that what the person has done, the crime committed and the shame borne is silence is an even bigger shanda. We have an obligation to protect not only current victims, but also all future victims, and these future victims are not only the future victims of the abuser, but also the victims of the victims themselves- there has been shown to be a significant correlation between being abused and then abusing others. Unless someone is stopped in his tracks, the ripple effect of abuse can be staggering.
Whether alive or deceased, the perpetrators must be exposed. Even the deceased are not entitled to go to their graves in peace while the pain and shame of their victims finds no rest or comfort. The deceased abuser cannot defend himself, but neither can he have the luxury of remaining guiltless in the eyes of humanity while so many of his victims continue to suffer a life of torment and pain.
And while we diligently root out the perpetrators of such heinous behavior, that takes advantage of the most powerless in society by the most powerful, we need to tell the victims that they can come forward to a receptive community that will hear their anguish, not be judgmental about how or why anything happened, and help them to be liberated from their nightmare and be supportive as they begin their healing.
Yes, a terrible thing has happened to our Jewish community. We found out that we are not immune to the same ills and disgraces that plaque our neighbors. We thought we were immune, and that our Torah study and Torah observance can protect us from such behavior. We thought that a religious personality couldn't possibly do such a thing. But if we did, we missed a critical teaching of our Torah portion today. Leviticus 19:1, Kedoshim Tihiyu, you shall be holy. This means not only in the letter of the law, but also the spirit of the law. Nachmanides made an insightful comment when he taught, "someone who only observes the letter of the law can easily become a degenerate with the permission of the Torah, for such a person can perform the technical requirements of the commandments, WHILE SURRENDERING TO SELF INDULGENCE, GLUTTONY AND LICENTIOUSNESS.
If you can keep strictly kosher, daven three times a day, keep every aspect of Shabbat, and meticulously observe the commandments, and then molest and abuse and scar an innocent child for life, whether living or deceased, you are not entitled to the mantle of holiness.
You are entitled to the contempt of the community which so faithfully put its trust in you.
May God help us to bring the perpetrators to justice and the victims to find their solace and strength from a community anxious to hear and help.

We wouldn't know if we had gotten any gift baskets this year since nobody is ever in the office to partake! I have a feeling that a few baskets are still trickling in (still probably much less than in normal times) but whoever the few people that are actually in the office on the day it arrives probably quick scavenge all the good stuff out of it and if they were something like fresh baked pastries (there are a couple firms that send us fresh cookies and breads every year) the leftovers probably get tossed the next morning if the cleaning crew didn't finish them off.
I'm not planning to be back in my office until January 7th so anything left will be long gone by that point!
In other office holiday/COVID related news: I usually receive about 10 or 15 holiday cards, sometimes with little pieces of candy, on my desk at work from coworkers. I enjoy the cards but I've never reciprocated and given a coworker a card in return. However, this year a few coworkers actually mailed their cards to me and my family at home. This has caused a dangerous precedent to be set because my wife insists that we send a card to anybody who sends one to us. So now those coworkers are going to expect cards from me in the future too.
The last time I saw this was in the recessions or yore but this year, I think it's the pandemic because these firms have been doing just fine up here in the pandemic.
That is probably due to the down turn in the economy and the virus in general.
My sister-in-law, bless her heart, missed out on any genetic gift of common sense, and she works at a place that probably no kid aspires to for a career, which at times can be a recipe for disaster. Her office decided to have an in-person holiday lunch out at some restaurant, which she went to, and the person she ended up sitting next to tested positive for The Covids the following day.

CCG had already told his parents that we weren't planning on visits anytime soon. Even outside and masked. My father-in-law has not been great about wearing his mask appropriately around PeachFuzz and we're not super confident on the preventative measures they're taking.
My mom, who is practicing an abundance of caution came up on Christmas day to drop off a few gifts for PeachFuzz. I told her she couldn't post any photos on social media with him just because I didn't want to stir up any drama about why we let her visit and not them. But she was only here for about 20 minutes. That's the first we'd seen her since we dropped by to drop off some treats and let her see PeachFuzz's costume for Halloween.
CCG's parents asked three times in the last three days if they could come up to visit this upcoming weekend. They just got back from a trip to the beach on the 23rd, which makes me really nervous. I know the visit would be outside (and it's not exactly warm right now), and I know the risk is fairly low, and I told CCG that they could come if they maintained at least a six foot distance and didn't interact with PeachFuzz at all. But he told them straight out that we weren't planning visits right now since cases are surging.
I'm both relieved and feel guilty. We are still going to church when it's warm enough (which is outside, masked, and socially distanced). I think the difference is no one there tries to touch us or PeachFuzz, and everyone keeps their masks on before and after the service (and while singing).
A friend of ours told their cousin they couldn't come over for Christmas Eve because they're anti-mask & are traveling all over (just got back from beach). They showed up anyway & were denied entry.
We were told it got ugly.

You must have been looking over my shoulder early this morning. I was in the comments of a news article (local hospitals bracing for post-Xmas surge) playing wack-a-mole.
I've been surprised here in Trump country, with how many people have masked up. Then I extended my bubble a bit to shop for Christmas, and was dismayed at how many people were unmasked.
the grandfather and two grandsons at Target were the most disappointing. The kids were definitely old enough (13-14) to know better. Disappointed at all of the merchants for not confronting these people

I get what you're saying but have you seen how some people react? I don't think you should be putting some front-line sales clerk in the position of having to deal with and try to enforce that. People are nuts. Most people wear their masks and if people don't everyone gives them a wide berth. People have literally been killed for asking someone to wear a mask. So I think the best we can do is to advise that masks are required in whatever establishment and hope for the best.

I've been saying this since March. The government issued restrictions and left it up to people with no law enforcement experience to enforce.
Some went on big ego trips while they demanded patrons wear masks. That's just asking for trouble at a time when people are stressed, scared or defiant.

I am glad I did not travel at Christmas.
Target can certainly afford to hire a security guard to stand at the entrance and deal with people refusing to comply with store policy. I agree it is harder in smaller establishments, but that's where owners/managers have to step up.

Reactions: michaelskis and MD Planner
The State has not been super clear on where I stand in the vacation priority list. Our firefighters and first responders got theirs a week ago. Police is this week, but at the rate this is going, I might be in August.
My biggest concern is the narrow priority windows and them cracking open the vaccines and not having enough people in that group to use 100% of that rotation. If there was a way for me to get on the "Call Me" list, I would gladly cut in line to make sure a dose does not go to waste.
A Catholic friend told me over the weekend that they are not getting it because it is against their religion to which I pointed out that the Vatican has already ruled that it is ok.
Man, that is eye roll worthy right there. Have they also objected to vaccines for measles, mumps, smallpox etc.? I think Chris Rock said it best yesterday: "I don't know what's in Tylenol either but it makes my headache go away. I eat a Big Mac and I don't know what's in it."
On another note, yesterday I went to Kroger. There was this couple, I'd say mid to late 50's not wearing masks. Everyone else was wearing but them. People gave them a very wide berth. And I don't think it was so much for not wearing masks but for the absolutely obvious expression on their faces that they were just hoping to God that someone would say something so they could have a confrontation. They were even talking really loudly to each other so people would look at them. Again, it was so obvious. So in case there was any doubt; I'm THAT guy. IDGAF. I pushed my cart right at him and caught his eye. Shook my head slowly and snorted derisively, sort of an unspoken "Bless your heart". Little wuss didn't say a word.

Yeah, my daughter and I had a similar experience at our Kroger on Saturday. Dude was impervious to serious stink eye from both of us. At least we had a chuckle with the cashier and bag boy at the check out. I think they were a little surprised customers were pissed at the dude too.
Significant improvement in our ICU beds occupied here in Tarrant County. Available beds grew 50% when the ICU occupancy dropped from 98% to 97%.
By current guidelines, people like myself are pretty far down the list but my hope is that since I work for the county and our health department seems to have a pretty good supply of vaccines that they just cannot get out quick maybe they'll open it up to the county staff since we're sort of a captive group that would be easier to vaccinate en masse.
Right now, our health department is sheriff deputies and vaccinating police, fire, and EMS personnel from communities that don't have the capabilities to do it themselves. The public health nurses and health department staff and staff in our juvenile detention facility were in the first wave of vaccines and after the first responders who are being vaccinated now, I believe the next group up is staff from our courts where there are huge backlogs of work that couldn't get completed with limited in-person operations. After that though, I suspect our health department will still have a good supply so maybe they'll decide it's more efficient to just get the doses out so they open it up to the rest of the county staff rather than moving them again to the local public health clinics or redistributing them to private providers (who currently are having their own distribution woes and likely aren't really equipped to handle a bigger supply right now).
If offered the vaccine today I'd jump on it but really, I don't know how much it would change our situation in our household since my wife wouldn't be getting it at the same time. She's young, healthy, and doesn't work outside the home. Who knows when she'll be able to get the vaccine...
We saw my parents a few days after Christmas. We were outside for all but 5 minutes of the visit and when we were inside we were all masked and kept our distance from each other. I told my dad that my wife's parents already have appointments to get their vaccines and that they (my parents) should call their doctors to find out when they could get them. My dad said he was going to get it as soon as possible my mom said she wanted to wait. I flat out told her that she wouldn't be able to hug my children or see us inside without masks or sit down for a meal with us until she's been vaccinated and that seemed to make her stop for a second and consider that. I should call them this week to see if they've called their doctors.
Why is City Hall "In LIne" I figure us losers (not electeds, department heads or first responders) would be way down the list.
My mom is in category 1B (age) and is on the list.
My sister is in category 1B (pre-existing condition) and is on the list.
When they get in and actually get a shot, I don't know, but I'm glad they are at least registered/on the list.

How does someone get to be the moderator of a group that's focused on discussing the pandemic, but not understand that some individuals have adverse reactions to vaccines?
"COVID-19 vaccination will help protect you from getting COVID-19. You may have some side effects, which are normal signs that your body is building protection. These side effects may affect your ability to do daily activities, but they should go away in a few days.
On the arm where you got the shot:
Throughout the rest of your body:

I think some of these people haven't had a tetanus shot in a while because ouch, man, that hurts!
Well, our county - and all the counties surrounding us - just went to red on the State's COVID-19 scale. Seven day positivity rate just below 20%.
Glad I postponed our Public Hearing scheduled for last night.
Someone in the same group ragged on me because I'd mentioned the reluctance of SOME health care professionals to get vaccinated, and I extended that to having it done a day before a major holiday when you might not want the side effects.
I guess all the HCW in her world are selfless professional angels dedicated to saving the world. Several I've known are the "it's just a job" types, who like working four-10s vs 8 to 5.
Seriously, if you have a couple days off the week of Dec 25, and the vaccine will be available to you upon your return, and you've worked since March without contracting the virus ...
I wonder how big of a spike we are going to have post holidays.
For the vaccine, I'm in Phase 2, Group 4 as part of one category, but I could be in Phase 2 Group 2 by another category.
I think I might be in phase 1C for Arizona, but we've only done 60k shots in my county which covers most of the state's population. We're going warp speed here.
Watch for a boatload of new cases as all these yahoos return home to Podunk. The image is a remarkable photo, despite the subject matter.

Wife and I were discussing all of this last night. She said that head Doc at her hospital said that there are at least 7 mutations of COVID. She and many others that she works with has serous concerns that the vaccine will not prevent all of the strains. She has already had her first shot and gets her second one next week. However, she was informed that she can expect to be sick for a day or two after she gets her second.
On an interesting note, there are more and more doctors and scientists that have indicated that the worst cases of COVID also have some other associated metabolic issue going on and there appears to be a greater correlation between metabolic heath and COVID than other health issues. It will be interesting to see if there is research going on regarding nutrition, supplements, and even eating and if it has an effect on COVID.
From what I understand, one of the biggest problems with Covid is that the virus is very effective at penetrating many different types of cells. Most respiratory viruses only penetrate cells in the respiratory system. As such, most (perhaps all) of the viruses have targeted the protein that the virus uses to do this. It's believed that any mutation will either not affect this protein (and therefore the vaccine will still work), or if it does affect that protein, it will make the virus less effective at getting into cells and therefor less virulent.

This presents a strong case for investing in developing a pro-active approach to employee retention.
Employees are less likely to tell you how they really think and feel about their job at the time that you most need to know – when they are losing motivation and heading for the door. We call these your 'at risk employees'.
We can help you identify your 'at risk employees' as early as possible, unearth the real reasons for their dissatisfaction and help you create an action plan to recover the situation. The resulting insights can also inform an employee retention strategy to help minimise staff turnover and keep team morale tiptop.

Solutions for Middle Class Needs
Sep 22, 2020 Curated Article | Brookings
• Richard V. Reeves and Isabel V. Sawhill use data and stories to reveal truths about the American middle class the policy solutions that can support it.
• What role can you play in implementing these solutions? What are the most pressing needs in your community?
• Read about the lack of satisfaction in the American middle class.
An aristocratic leisure class and a welfare-dependent underclass are equally unappealing to most Americans. This is why most people say they belong to the middle class. It is also why paid work is seen as so important. Americans – above all the newest among us, immigrants – want a society where everybody has the chance to "make something of themselves."
Today, this contract is collapsing. Middle class families are working harder, with too little to show for it. Confidence in the prospects for the next generation is low. Trust in our institutions, and even in each other, is declining. The gaps between us are widening. Populism, fueled in part by middle class discontent, is rising.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been like the flash of an X-ray, exposing the deep fractures in our society – not least by race, but also by social class and economic status. Well-educated professionals, secure in their jobs and safe in their homes, have been observers of the devastation all around them. Meanwhile, the fragile finances, poor health and precarious employment of middle-class Americans, including many essential workers, have been laid bare.
A new contract with the middle class must be faithful to the spirit of our history but oriented towards the challenges of today's economy and society. It should ask more of government as well as of Americans. A better future for the middle class is no longer just an important aspiration. It is an existential necessity.
Note that the new contact is with the middle class, not for the middle class. Middle class Americans are not inert vessels, waiting to be filled up with good things by a benign state. They want agency over their own lives. The first principle underpinning this contract, then, is partnership. College should be free (for at least two years), but only for those who undertake a year of national service: Scholarships for Service. Incomes should be higher, especially for those who are working. Health care should be better, but we each need to take more responsibility for our health, too. More time should be available to parents, but we should be willing to work until later ages.
The second principle is prevention. Too often public policy is focused on dealing with the costs and consequences of earlier failures – providing ambulances at the bottom of a cliff, rather than building fences at the top. It's far better to act early. This means investing in health rather than health care, for example by improving nutrition or social services. It means universal access to reproductive health, especially the most effective forms of contraception, in order to give every child a strong start, ideally with two committed parents. It means providing childcare and working arrangements to prevent parents and (especially) mothers from losing ground in the labor market.
The third principle is pluralism. America is a large, varied, changing society. Individuals and communities differ, often greatly, in terms of what they want from life. This kaleidoscopic diversity is one of our greatest strengths. As far as possible, policy should embrace and even encourage a plurality of opinions, approaches, and goals. One size rarely fits all. National service ought to be a universal norm – but its form and organization will vary greatly. Our democratic processes should be inclusive of a wide range of voices – for example through "Citizens Juries" to guide policy. Families can come in all shapes and sizes and should be entitled to equal treatment. The ability to respect others, across lines of class, race, and politics, is a necessary skill in a diverse republic.

Swaraj and How the World Must Resist the Forces of Hunger
July 17, 2013 by Arun Gandhi
Swaraj (swa"self" raj "rule") can mean generally self-governance or "self-rule", and was used synonymous with "home-rule" by Mahatma Gandhi, but the word typically refers to Gandhi's concept for Indian independence from foreign domination. Swaraj lays importance on governance not by a hierarchical government, but self-governance through individuals and community building with a focus is on political decentralization.
Swaraj warrants a stateless society; according to Gandhi, the overall impact of the state on the people is harmful. Gandhi called the state a "soulless machine" which, ultimately, does the greatest harm to mankind. The raison d'etre of the state is that it is an instrument of serving the people. But Gandhi feared that in the name of molding the state into a suitable instrument of serving people, the state would abrogate the rights of the citizens and arrogate to itself the role of grand protector and demand abject acquiescence from them. This would create a paradoxical situation where the citizens would be alienated from the state and at the same time enslaved to it, which according to Gandhi was demoralizing and dangerous. (Wikipedia)
Professor George Kent
In his essay Swaraj Against Hunger, Professor George Kent examines how India's approach to dealing with its massive problems of poverty and malnutrition has been dominated by the view of government-as-provider. People are articulate about what government should do for them, but have little to say about what they could do for themselves, either individually or in community with others. There is a need for a change in our collective mindset, to one foreshadowed by Gandhi, one hundred years ago when he penned his famous book, Hind Swaraj (Indian Home Rule). Hind Swaraj served then as a basis for building self-reliance, and thus resisting the British raj. It could now serve as the basis for resisting the rule of hunger in India and the world. From George Kent, Gandhi Marg Volume 32 –
Swaraj and Swadeshi
It is true that India now produces enough food to feed its entire people, but millions are not fed adequately. Despite India's growing wealth and its agricultural successes, India still has a huge number of malnourished people, more than any other country. What is there to celebrate in this supposed self-sufficiency?

Hamilton to Provide Next Generation 911 Services
Leading Telecommunications Company announces plans to expand its service offerings to deliver critical 911 services.
September 5th, 2017, Aurora, Neb. —Hamilton Telecommunications, a leading telecommunications and technology service provider, is excited to announce that it has recently launched a new business line that will deliver Next Generation 911 (NG911) services. Hamilton NG911, Inc. is the most recent addition to the company's diverse service offerings and is a reflection of its ongoing investment in continued growth. Hamilton NG911 is seeking and responding to bid opportunities that would allow the company to begin delivering this specialized service for states or regional entities. The company's robust telecommunications infrastructure; experience in contracted telecommunications services on state and local levels; a wide range of regulatory experience; a broad understanding of accessibility components; and a history of managing reliable networks make the delivery of NG911 services a near-seamless addition to Hamilton service offerings.
"Hamilton has been providing 911 service to its subscribers since its introduction in 1968," said John Nelson, CEO of Hamilton Telecommunications. "We were involved very early in the provision of Caller ID for 911 services, as well as in the subsequent conversion to E911. In addition, we have become very familiar with 911 agencies and public service organizations across the country through our telecommunications relay and captioned telephone services. We are now ready to take a larger role in the country's conversion to Next Generation 911."
Next Generation 911 (NG911) is an IP-based system that allows digital information including voice telephone calls, text messaging, photos, videos and other multi-media messages from the public to reach local Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPS) through the 911 network. For more than four decades, the 911 system has essentially remained the same. While there have been enhancements to accommodate cell phones, location tracking and most recently, texting, rapidly changing technology makes it difficult for the new system to stay current. Next Generation 911 would transition 911 to a more scalable, IP-based system that will allow the service to keep up with the everchanging pace of technology. NG911 will also provide Public Safety Answering Points with the most accurate information about the emergency situation, allowing them to do
their job more efficiently, respond faster, and save lives.
"We understand how important this service is to the people who rely on it in the worst of times," Nelson said. "We believe we are well-positioned to help make it better." Hamilton Telecommunications is a diversified telecommunications and technology services provider based in Aurora, Neb. Founded in 1901, Hamilton Telecommunications encompasses eight primary company divisions that allow Hamilton to operate on a local, regional and national basis.

Oyster River Pages: What does becoming a "better" writer or artist look like to you? How do you define success?
Jill Caugherty: One of the things I enjoy about writing is stepping out of my skin into another person's life—a character I've created, whose circumstances may be completely different from mine. This process is somewhat analogous to an actor playing a role that requires extensive research and study, because his or her character is unfamiliar—at least on the surface. For that matter, I think the common wisdom to "write about what you know," if taken absolutely literally, can potentially limit artistic expression. In fact, I've discovered that it can be liberating to write about a time period or person who is radically foreign. At the same time, I think it's important for a writer to capture emotions and conflicts that resonate universally with readers.
Years ago, when I took the "write what you know" advice to heart and created an autobiographical novel, I found that the details of my past and my conflicting feelings about it interfered with the overall plot and ultimately damaged the story line. This, of course, does not happen with everyone who attempts autobiographical pieces. But since then, in my novels, I write about different time periods and different circumstances, while trying to conjure up how the protagonist feels, thinks, and acts in a way that rings true.
As a result, my definition of success now includes the ability to realistically portray a character who, although she may have very different life experiences and circumstances from mine, still manages to evoke interest and sympathy from readers. While writing novels, I continue to work toward this goal, while striving to balance plot pacing with language.
JC: Wallace Stegner, Margaret Atwood, Anthony Doerr, Chang-Rae Lee, Kazuo Ishiguro, Jane Smiley, Edith Wharton, TC Boyle, Charles Frazier. These authors use beautiful, poetic-like language and character-rich plots. They often write about people and places in unusual and difficult circumstances. Almost universally, the emotions they stir ring true, and I find myself engrossed in their stories, eager to learn what happens to these characters.
ORP: What role does research play in your work? How much do you research do you do before or during the creation of your work?
JC: When I'm writing historical fiction, I research the period—the clothes people wore, the food they ate, the housing, typical prices, vernacular expressions, landmarks, popular destinations, and current events of that era. Although those details don't necessarily play an important role in the plot, I want the novel's setting to be as realistic as possible. At the same time, because I often write about people who are quite different from me—for example, a musician, or a girl whose father was a longshoreman during the 1930s—I also conduct research into different professions and tools that play important roles in those jobs.
JC: Above all, don't give up. Passion for your craft, along with persistence and practice, are equally important. Continue writing for yourself, first of all, because you love the craft. Read short stories and novels of authors you admire, and note the language they use, the plotting and pacing, and the type and amount of dialogue they include in scenes. Join writers' groups and conferences for feedback, and submit your work to wonderful new online literary magazines like Oyster River Pages who are willing to accept material from unpublished authors.
JC: I'm working on a second historical fiction/coming-of-age novel, set in 1934 in San Francisco and at a CCC camp in Yosemite National Park.

If you are an administrator, you can add or remove another administrator or accountant. A good tip is to check your charity's users once in a while, to make sure that the list is updated, and add and remove people as needed.
Start by clicking on "My Dashboard" in the right upper corner.
Thereafter you click on "Users" on the left side menu. You now have an overview over all the administrators and accountants of the organisation.
To add a new user, just click on "Add a Charity Administrator" or "Add an Accountant", and add the email address of the user. If you wish to add a person as both administrator and accountant, make sure both boxes are ticked off.
Send the invitation by clicking "Add User" in the bottom. The user will then receive an email with an invitation which she/he needs to accept. If it takes too long the invitation link expires and you will have to add the person once again.
To remove an existing administrator or accountant, just click on the red button "Remove..." next to the name of the person you would like to remove.

A mind of his own.
Four-year-old Tristan began to have trouble at daycare because of his stubborn behavior. His teachers were frustrated and he was often physical with the other children when he was challenged.
Josh and Sherri, Tristan's parents, knew that their son's behavior needed some adjustment, but nothing they tried seemed to work. Katie, a Mental Health Specialist from Rainbows, went to Tristan's daycare to observe his behavior. She recommended to the family that they read books to Tristan with good behavior examples. "The books are great," said Josh, "they help Tristan count to 10 when he is mad and to take his time when he is learning new tasks." Now Tristan can walk away from an argument and has some positive options when he doesn't get his way.


If ever there were a cure for brown thumbs, mint would be it. The many mint varieties available are among the easiest of herbs to grow. Novice herb gardeners rarely have a problem growing them. And the enduring appeal of mints for tea and for flavour in food make them an easy sell for spring pot production.
If there is a challenge for the commercial pot plant grower it is to find the right propagative material to start with. Like other herbs that have long been misunderstood by the industry, starting with seeds is a recipe for disappointment. Although "peppermint" seeds are widely sold by seed companies, the true peppermint, Mentha x piperita, is a sterile hybrid that cannot produce seeds. Artificial crossing of its putative parents is an exercise in futility because any seeds produced by such crosses result in diverse forms, most of which will not possess the characteristic peppermint aroma and flavour. What is commonly sold as "peppermint" seeds is in fact a rank-smelling form of spearmint (Mentha spicata) which has no value as a kitchen herb.
While commercial spearmint seeds are at least the correct species – Mentha spicata – plants grown from them have all the wrong combinations of essential oils, with, again, an undesirable rank smell and flavour.
In all cases, the most desirable varieties of mint must be grown from cuttings or by root division. For commercial pot plant production, cuttings are the favoured method.
There are dozens of varieties available, but only a few are important for commercial horticulture. They include peppermint, spearmint, orange mint (Mentha aquatica 'Citrata'), ginger mint (Mentha arvensis 'Variegata'), and two forms of spearmint, the improved spearmint (also known as 'Kentucky Colonel' mint), and english mint. Orange mint is also known as bergamot mint or eau de cologne mint. As its various names suggest, it has a sweet, fruity or floral scent and flavour that is popular in tea and potpourris. Ginger mint is not so notable for its mild, faintly reminiscent ginger flavour and aroma, but more for its attractive gold-flecked leaves. The improved spearmint and the english mint are both superior spearmint cultivars among possibly hundreds of forms found in gardens. The improved form is more disease-resistant than the standard narrow leaf variety, and the nearly round leaved english variety has a milder, more refined aroma and flavour favoured in traditional mint jelly, peas, carrots, potatoes, mint julep, and lamb sauce.
Mints are most commonly grown and sold in 4 inch pots for spring sale. They are not suitable for pack sales because they grow rootbound so quickly in cells. Mint is a quick crop from cuttings or liners, ready for sale in 4-6 weeks or less.
Liners are available from specialty herb plug growers. Cuttings are harder to find commercially so most growers maintain their own stock plants. A single five gallon stock plant will produce dozens of cuttings a week, however the cost of maintaining enough stock plants for sizable production cuts into potential profits.
Cuttings. Stem or root cuttings can be used, but stem cuttings are easier and quicker to handle. Cuttings 3-4 inches long are taken from clean stock plants. Soaking soft cuttings in water as they are being made keeps them turgid until ready to plant. Adding a contact miticide such as Safer's insecticidal soap to the soaking solution helps prevent pest infestation. Rooting hormone is optional as mints root readily without it.
Rooting medium. Lightweight peat-based rooting media with 20% perlite added for drainage is ideal, but mint will root in any well-drained medium. The pH should be between 5 and 7. Watering trays before sticking cuttings ensures even moisture throughout.
Trays and pots. A variety of larger cell trays from 72 trays to 128 trays work well. Growers with sufficient space under mist can root cuttings directly in finished 3 to 4 inch pots.
Temperature, humidity and light. Maintain 22-25 degree Celsius during initial rooting phase. Keep humidity elevated between 90% and 100% under mist. Provide light shade from direct sun for the first 2-3 days until rooting begins. After 7-10 days root development will be well under way and trays can be removed from misting bench and temperature lowered to 18-22 degrees Celsius and humidity to 70-75%.
Fertilizing and watering. When cuttings are removed from mist after 7-10 days, fertilize with one third strength feeding at 35 to 50 ppm. Gradually increase to half strength (50 to 75 ppm) as plugs develop.
Mints are very quick crops, becoming saleable in 4 inch pots after only 3-4 weeks from plugs or 4-6 weeks when cuttings are stuck directly in 4 inch pots.
Transplanting. Rooted cuttings are ready for transplanting at 3-4 weeks when root balls are well developed but not to the point of being rootbound. Transplant in 4 inch pots.
Potting soil. Mints prefer a humus-rich soil mix with moisture retention ability and good drainage. Some growers prefer to use compost-based mixes with added peat and perlite.
Temperature, humidity and lighting. Mints require a nighttime minimum of 12 degrees Celsius and a daytime minimum of 16 degrees Celsius for active growth. Above 30 degrees Celsius growth slows. Normal ambient greenhouse humidity (70%) and lighting are adequate for mints.
Fertilization and watering. Raise fertilizer level from half to full strength (100-150 ppm) with successive feedings. Keep mints evenly moist as they do not tolerate drying out. Excessive drying out will cause foliage to turn yellow.
Spacing and pinching. After potting, plants can remain pot-to-pot up to 4 weeks depending on variety and growth conditions. The central stem should be pinched back to encourage bushy growth. If plants become crowded they must be pruned back or spaced. Stolons should be cut back to prevent plants from growing into each other. Ideally plants should more or less fill the pot with foliage. There is a window of 4 weeks when mints must be moved out or they will become tangled and overgrown.
Pests and diseases. Whiteflies, spider mites, aphids and thrips are the main pests. Because herbs are edible plants there are few available controls when outbreaks of pests occur. Close monitoring of pest populations is the first and most important line of defense. Weekly examination of the crop with the aid of yellow and blue sticky traps will catch outbreaks at the earliest stages when acceptible contact pesticides such as Safer's insecticidal soap are most effective. Other products suitable for application on edible plants introduced in the past 5-10 years such as neem-based (e.g. NeemAzad) and fungus-based (e.g. Naturalis-O) sprays are slower acting and may not provide effective control on fast crops like mints. Beneficials such as whitefly parasites and mite predators are not effective on fast growing crops. Mints are susceptible to a rust for which there is no acceptable control, but symptoms (brown spots or patches on leaves) do not appear until mid summer. If rust appears on greenhouse plants, discard them and try a more resistant variety (the standard spearmint is more susceptible than the improved spearmint or the english mint). Various wilting diseases are known to occur in production fields but are rarely seen in greenhouses.
Mints can be a fast and easy profitable crop. Growers should be able to produce a nice crop on their first try.

Variations in structural trend and frequency of deformation (associated synthetic and antithetic faults and related structures) warrant subdivision of fault complex from west to east as (i) the western segment (ii) the central segment and (iii) the eastern segment. The western segment is of particular interest because of related structural complexity and the associated antiformal feature. Previous models to explain deformational mechanism in western segment have been revisited, and a new model on the basis of new evidence on 3D seismic data is proposed. This model relates the deformation style in the western segment to extensional system comprising ramp-flat-ramp extensional faults.
Degree of deformation associated with the fault complex decreases from west to east and the main boundary fault changes geometry from ramp –flat- ramp in western segment to downward concave in central segment and finally ends up as planar normal fault. 2D/3D seismic reflection data does not support the idea of Carboniferous / Permian rifting while Late-Mid Jurassic to Early Cretaceous is well registered in the study area. Asterias Fault Complex has been assigned the age of Late-Mid Jurassic to Early Cretaceous.

The promotion which kicks off this weekend and runs through until end of March rewards customers whose pint is the last to pulled from the barrel, as well as the bar staff who served it.
Customers handed the last pint of the barrel receive a golden ticket which has a range of prizes within, including a free pint of Greene King IPA, rugby merchandise and even a holiday to Japan to watch the rugby this September. Likewise, the bar staff can win some great prizes including £500 cash. With 9000 prizes to be won, there is plenty of incentive for pubs to get serving.
To celebrate the launch, Harlequins rugby stars Scotland International Tim Visser, England wing Nathan Earle and Kiwi winger Mat Luamanu joined fans at The George in Twickenham to debate the hot topic 'What's the greatest last gasp sporting moment of all time?'.
A poll run by Greene King on social media resulted in a resounding winner from over 2000 votes; Jonny Wilkinson's drop kick in the final of the 2003 rugby world cup. In second place was Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's goal against Bayern Munich to win the 1999 Champions League. Whilst the participants rated England's Ashes win by two runs over Australia in the second Test in 2005 as the third most impressive last moment of the game sporting achievement.

Apple shows it is a COVID-19 winner despite iPhone dip
News Analysis Iain Morris, International Editor 10/30/2020
Take advantage of the new Apple One plan, launching today, and you might never have to leave your iHome again. The right app or Apple accessory will handily turn it into an office, gym, concert hall, cinema or games venue – depending on your mood. A virtual accompaniment to Amazon-delivered groceries, it is pandemic-era living for the well-off suburbanite.
The cult of Apple was always likely to be one of the COVID-19 winners. Its overpriced trinkets target Apple zealots and income brackets largely unaffected by the economic fallout so far. Its plunge into services could not have been timed better. Just as people are advised not to go out and socialize, the king of Cupertino pipes a welter of experiences direct to the home.
Yes, net profit fell 7% year-on-year in the September-ending quarter, to about $12.7 billion. But that was largely because research-and-development costs rose a fifth, to nearly $5 billion. Only myopic investors will punish a technology company for taking a hit to profits so that it can safeguard innovation.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has good reason to be optimistic.
Revenues in the quarter, despite the economic pain, ticked up 1%, to $64.7 billion. And while there was a decline in product sales, the services business was on a roll, with revenues up 16%, to about $14.5 billion. "This was a record quarter," CEO Tim Cook told analysts. "Geographically, we set September quarter records in the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific."
Even before the launch of Apple One, the iPhone maker had clocked up 585 million paid subscriptions to its various services, an increase of 135 million in just a year. Apple is now hopeful it will beat its end-December target of 600 million paid subscriptions. As fanboys don spandex and fire up the newish Fitness+ app – now available through Apple One – the services outlook is sunny.
iPhone slump
What hurt Apple was the slump in iPhone sales that happened between July and September. In the first six months of the year, Apple shifted about $111 billion worth of iPhone stock, roughly 2% more than it did in the same period of 2019. Yet third-quarter sales fell 21%, to $26.4 billion. What happened?
"As we anticipated, we launched new iPhone models in October, a few weeks later than last year's mid-September launch," explained Cook. "Up to that mid-September point, customer demand for iPhone was very strong, and grew double digits."

The model introduced was the iPhone 12, a device that appears to be all about 5G connectivity, with few other new features. No matter, because the market expects shipments to rocket in the current quarter as Apple enthusiasts pounce on the latest promotions.
"Obviously, 5G is a once-in-a-decade opportunity, and, as you've seen in some markets – certainly here in the United States – carrier offers are very aggressive," said Luca Maestri, Apple's chief financial officer. "And so that is very good for consumers and, ultimately, very good for us."
Omdia, an analyst firm and sister company to Light Reading, believes Apple shipped about 41.5 million iPhones in the recent third quarter, 10.2% down on the figure a year earlier.
"This year, Apple delayed the launch of its latest generation of iPhones until mid-October, impacting shipments in Q3 as the models will not reach consumers until the last week of October," it says in a research note that ranks Apple fourth in a table of smartphone makers.
Smartphone shipments (millions) and market share

Whether or not Apple's 5G move can lift it above third-place Xiaomi in the near future, sales grew in every other one of its product categories. The star of the show was the Mac, which generated more than $9 billion in quarterly sales, a 29% increase year-on-year. A retreat into residential man caves and kitchen offices may have triggered a round of spending on pricey new machines.
Despite all this, Apple's share price was down about 4% on the Nasdaq in before-hours trading today. At $111, it has fallen from an all-time high of $129.04, achieved on August 20. The dip could reflect Apple's unwillingness to provide a forecast for the holiday season, as well as general coronavirus gloom.
The real stunner is not this upset. It is that Apple's share price has nearly quadrupled in the last five years, valuing the company at around $2 trillion in the midst of the worst economic crisis in living memory. Connected gadgets and domestic online experiences are where COVID-19 fortunes are made.

* Interesting Information Regarding House Clearance West Midlands *
The West Midlands is a metropolitan county in western central England with a 2013 estimated population of 2,783,475. It came into existence as a metropolitan county in 1974 after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972, formed from parts of Staffordshire, Worcestershire and Warwickshire. The county itself is a NUTS 2 region within the wider NUTS 1 region of the same name. The county consists of seven metropolitan boroughs: the City of Birmingham, the City of Coventry, and the City of Wolverhampton, as well as Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, and Walsall.
The West Midlands County Council was abolished on 31 March 1986, since then the county's constituent metropolitan boroughs have been effectively unitary authorities. However, the metropolitan county continues to exist in law and as a geographic frame of reference. It forms the basis of county-wide bodies such as West Midlands Police, the West Midlands Fire Service and the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive, and as a ceremonial county has a Lord Lieutenant and a High Sheriff.
The county is sometimes described as the "West Midlands metropolitan area" or the "West Midlands conurbation", although these have different, and less clearly defined, boundaries. The main conurbation, or urban area, does not include Coventry for example. The name "West Midlands" is also used for the much larger West Midlands region, which sometimes causes confusion, not surprising perhaps when geographically it is on the eastern side of the region, the western side comprising Shropshire and Herefordshire.

Many of us have experienced moments in our life where only the best survived. Well I'm here to tell you today to scrap that mindset. If you are finally on your career path, then working as a key player in a team dynamic will not set you up for greater success, but will help catapult your company to success as well. Wondering how in the world you will move from a lone wolf to a pack mindset? Keep reading and I will explain how.
First, you must buy into the team. If you plant your feet and refuse to change any of your methods or grumble about having to collaborate with others, than you likely won't make it that far. The team, however, could continue to grow if they remove the grumpy factor from their midst. Let go of the "every man for himself" attitude and offer up your strengths to the benefit of the team. The depth of talent of a network will pull everyone further along than if they were to work alone. There's certainly no weakness in that.
Don't be afraid to give honest feedback and graciously receive feedback. Successful systems work on a feedback system, so it makes sense that a well functioning team responds well to constructive criticism. When most of us hear the word "criticism" we immediately assume defensive position. Unfortunately, that keeps us from reaping the benefits of working a team setting. More often than not, feedback is offered not to crush a coworker but to provide helpful advice that might make you a more effective team player.
Finally, build trust. If the connection between members on the team isn't strong, then the mission of the team doesn't have much hope. Coworkers need to know that their role and voice in the team is important. Without that bond between colleagues, your team might miss some incredible opportunities. Furthermore, a team functions better when all the parts are working together. Trust and respect go a long way to providing room for growth. If you haven't experienced a successful collective of workers, then you need to consider these points to help your team progress.

Q: Commutation of kinetic energy operator with Hamiltonian I am basically trying to calculate current energy operator $\hat{\mathbf{J}}_E(\mathbf{r})$ by using Heisenberg equation of motion as
$$
-\nabla\cdot \hat{\mathbf{J}}_E(\mathbf{r})=\frac{i}{\hbar}[H,\hat{\rho}_E] \tag{1}
$$
here $$H=\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\int{d\mathbf{r} \left(\nabla \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right) \cdot  \left(\nabla\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right) }=\int d\mathbf{r}\hat{\rho}_E$$ and $$\hat{\rho}_E=\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\left(\nabla \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right) \cdot  \left(\nabla\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right)$$ is energy density operator (the same thing is done in arXiv:1502.00347).
Now, I want to evaluate the commutator $[H,\hat{\rho}_E]$:
$$
\begin{align}
[H,\hat{\rho}_E]&=\left[\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\int{d\mathbf{r} \left(\nabla \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right) \cdot  \left(\nabla\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right) },\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\left(\nabla \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right) \cdot  \left(\nabla\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right)\right] \\
&=\frac{\hbar^4}{4m^2}\int{d\mathbf{r} }
\left[\left(\nabla \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right) \cdot  \left(\nabla\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right) ,\left(\nabla \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right) \cdot  \left(\nabla\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right)\right]\\
&=\frac{\hbar^4}{4m^2}\int{d\mathbf{r}
\left\{
\left(\nabla \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right) \cdot  \left( \nabla^2 \left[\Psi(\mathbf{r}) ,\Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right] \right) \left(\nabla\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right)
+\left(\nabla \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right) \cdot   \left(\nabla\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right)  \nabla^2\left( \left[\Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) , \Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right]\right)
\right\}
}
\end{align}
$$
use commutation relation
$$[\Psi(\mathbf r) ,\Psi(\mathbf r') ^\dagger]=\delta^{(3)}(\mathbf r-\mathbf r').$$
$$
\begin{align}
[H,\hat{\rho}_E]&=\frac{\hbar^4}{4m^2}\int{d\mathbf{r}
\left\{
\left(\nabla \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right) \cdot  \left(\nabla\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right) \left( \nabla^2 \delta(\mathbf{r}) \right)
-\left(\nabla \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right) \cdot   \left(\nabla\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right)  \nabla^2\left( \delta(\mathbf{r})\right)
\right\}
}\\
&=0
\end{align}
$$
The commutator becomes zero. It should not be, as given in the above-mentioned article's Eq. $(8)$.
Edit:
Change argument of $\hat{\rho}_E$ to $\mathbf{r'}$. Now, we have $$\hat{\rho}_E=\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\left(\nabla' \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r'}) \right) \cdot  \left(\nabla'\Psi(\mathbf{r'}) \right).$$ And commutator becomes:
$$
\begin{align}
[H,\hat{\rho}_E]&=\frac{\hbar^4}{4m^2}\int{d\mathbf{r}
\left\{
\left(\nabla \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right) \cdot  \left(\nabla'\Psi(\mathbf{r'}) \right) \left( \nabla\cdot\nabla' \delta(\mathbf{r-r'}) \right)
-\left(\nabla' \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r'}) \right) \cdot   \left(\nabla\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right)  \nabla\cdot\nabla'\left( \delta(\mathbf{r-r'})\right)
\right\}
}
\end{align}
$$
The integration could be solved by using formula $$\int dr \mathbf{F}(r) \nabla^k (\delta(r-r'))=(-1)^k\int dr \nabla^k \cdot (\mathbf{F}(r)) \delta(r-r')=(-1)^k \nabla^k \cdot(\mathbf{F}(r))|_{r=r'}.$$ Solving only the first integration term from above equation:
$$
\begin{align}
I_1&=\int{d\mathbf{r}
\left(\nabla \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right) \cdot  \left(\nabla'\Psi(\mathbf{r'}) \right) \left( \nabla\cdot\nabla' \delta(\mathbf{r-r'}) \right)
}\\
&=-\int{d\mathbf{r}
\left(\nabla \cdot (\nabla \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r})) \right)  \left(\nabla'\Psi(\mathbf{r'}) \right) \nabla' \delta(\mathbf{r-r'})
}\\
&=-\int{d\mathbf{r}
\left(\nabla^2 \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right)  \nabla'\cdot\left(\nabla'\Psi(\mathbf{r'}) \right)  \delta(\mathbf{r-r'})
}\\
&=+\int{d\mathbf{r}
\left(\nabla^2 \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right)  \left(\nabla'^2\Psi(\mathbf{r'}) \right)  \delta(\mathbf{r-r'})
}\\
&=+
\left(\nabla^2 \Psi^\dagger(\mathbf{r}) \right)  \left(\nabla^2\Psi(\mathbf{r}) \right)
\end{align}
$$
By the same method, we find that the other part of integration is equal to $-I_1$. Hence, total integration is zero.

A scheduled notification is a dialog box that pops up on the screen at a specified time, similar to the notifications displayed by the phone's built-in applications. The dialog box displays some customizable text information to the user and allows the user to dismiss the notification or postpone it until later. If the user taps the notification, the application that created it is launched. Notifications can be configured to launch once or multiple times on a recurring schedule.
There are two types of scheduled notifications, Alarm and Reminder. An Alarm allows you to specify a sound file to play when the notification is launched. When you create a Reminder, you can specify a relative navigation URI pointing to a page in your application, including query string parameters. When the Reminder is displayed to the user and the user taps on it, your application is launched and is passed the URI that you specified. Note that there is a limit of 50 Alarms or Reminders at a time per application.
Alarms and Reminders are accurate only within a range of one minute. In other words, the notification can be launched up to one minute after it was scheduled.
Displays the name of the app that created the Alarm. You set the app name in the WMAppManifest.xml file.
Always shows the text "Alarm" as the UI title.
Displays a content area with text generated by the app.
Can use an alarm sound set by the app. The sound begins quietly and gradually increases in volume.
When the user taps dismiss, the current Alarm is terminated. Note that the Alarm can repeat based on the alarm's schedule.
When the user taps snooze, the Alarm is rescheduled to restart in 9 minutes.
Displays the name of the application that created the Reminder.
Displays a title that is provided by the application.
Displays a content area with text provided by the application.
Uses the default notification sound for the device.
When the user taps the Reminder, outside of the snooze and dismiss buttons, the application is launched. Optionally, the application can provide navigation URI and query string parameters to which the application will navigate when it is launched.

Scottish Government Announces £20m of Awards for Community Regeneration Projects
Scottish Government - Communities across Scotland are to benefit from a share of £20.4m to support local regeneration activity.
A total of 18 projects are being awarded funding in 2019/20 as part of the Regeneration Capital Grant Fund (RCGF).
The joint Scottish Government and COSLA investment will help to support or create more than 600 jobs. It will refurbish and bring back into use 17 buildings, create more than 6,400 square metres of business space and support 64 community facilities and services which will benefit more than 150 businesses or enterprises.
Aileen Campbell, Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Local Government, said:
"I'm really pleased that 18 fantastic, community-led projects will benefit from this significant investment. Projects right across Scotland will receive support which will regenerate their local area by stimulating inclusive growth and supporting and creating jobs.
"The projects being supported are wide ranging and collectively will help tackle inequality and support inclusive growth in disadvantaged communities and fragile rural areas.
"These projects will deliver new training places and volunteering opportunities and support new community assets. This will build community cohesion, help tackle poverty, address health inequality and provide childcare facilities while bringing back into use historic and landmark buildings."
COSLA's Environment and Economy Spokesperson, Councillor Steven Heddle, said:
"I'm delighted to see these further projects to be funded by the Regeneration Capital Grant Fund in 2019/20. These diverse projects from local authorities across Scotland all reflect localised approaches to regeneration and will deliver strong physical, economic, and social outcomes.
"Importantly, these projects also allow councils to deliver on the regeneration aspirations of the communities they represent. It's heartening to see the impact this fund is having and I look forward to seeing what projects come forward for funding in the future."
View a list of the 18 projects awarded RCGF funding in 2019 to 2020.
A total of 136 projects have been recommended for support from the Regeneration Capital Grant Fund since 2014/15. Funding has been confirmed for the remainder of the current parliamentary term, subject to annual spending reviews.
The fund, which has been developed in partnership with COSLA and local authorities, is open to all 32 Scottish local authorities and their Special Purpose Vehicles. An independent panel makes recommendations to the Scottish Ministers and COSLA on which projects should receive funding.
