Greenpeace pushes for global ban on CFCs 1986 – 1995
Irina Bukharin, 20/09/2015
The ozone layer absorbs ultraviolet radiation that can be very harmful to all forms of life. In 1974, however, scientists discovered that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), a chemical used in aerosol sprays, refrigerants, and the creation of synthetic materials, break down when they enter the stratosphere, and produce a chlorine atom, which then contributes to breaking down the ozone layer. In 1985, British Antarctic Survey scientists discovered a massive hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica.
German Public Workers Strike to Maintain Benefits 1996
April, 1996 to October, 1996
In April of 1996, German Chancellor Helmut Kohl intended to implement an Austerity Plan which would limit benefits for Public Works employees and increase the hours in their work week without increasing pay. This plan would reduce Germany's spending by $33 billion, contributing to a decrease in their budget deficit. A decreasing budget deficit would enable Germany to join other European nations in creating and using a single European currency (what would become the Euro).
Greenpeace and others pressure international buyers, protect Great Bear Rainforest, Canada, 1994-2001
Mischa Pustogorodsky, 03/04/2013 and Laura Rigell 22/07/2014
The North and Central Coast, or Great Bear Rainforest as it would later be known, is an area of 6.4 million hectares that extends from the BC-Yukon border all the way down the BC coastline and ending before Bute Inlet. It is the largest temperate rainforest on the planet and the rich ecosystem is home to wolves, salmon, different species of bears, including the rare white kermode bear as well as many types of unique flora and fauna.
East German workers strike to protect wages, 1953
15 June, 1953 to 17 June, 1953
On 15 June 1953, in East Berlin, construction workers on the Stalinallee Avenue began to voice their issues with the SED's (Socialist Unity Party) new regulations. The SED trade union officials, following mass worker emigration from East Germany, increased worker production requirements to fulfill their desired targets. However, the SED trade union officials announced that workers would be paid at the same rate, thus effectively decreasing the value of each worker.
Germans reclaim Heligoland from the United Kingdom, 1951
December, 1950 to January, 1951
Heligoland (also spelled Helgoland) is an archipelago 46 kilometers off the German coastline in the North Sea. The two small islands are less than 2 square kilometers in total, but the British, Danish and Germans have hotly contested the land over the centuries. In the Second World War, the British Air Force frequently bombed the islands, most notably in air to sea battles in 1939 and in 1945, when the residents of the island were forced to abandon their rock shelters and evacuate due to an enormous Allied air raid.
German students campaign for democracy, 1966-68
June, 1966 to May, 1968
In 1966, faced with an economic recession, the two major West German political parties--Social Democratic Party (SPD) and Christian Democrats (CDU)--came together to form what came to be known as the Grand Coalition. Their decision to allow Kurt Georg Kiesinger of the CDU serve as chancellor proved controversial, as Kiesinger played an active role in the foreign ministry under the Third Reich.
White Rose Resistance to Hitler's Regime, 1942-1943
June 27, 1942 to February 22, 1943
Aly Passanante, 27/02/2011
Amidst the omnipresence of violence during World War II, nonviolent protest is often overlooked or unheard of. However, there were several resistance campaigns that took place in Germany, led by its own citizens. One such campaign in the period of 1942-1943 was the resistance initiated by the White Rose society. Although they were ultimately unsuccessful, the members of the White Rose became an influential example of student resistance against repressive regimes.
International groups boycott Nestle products to end indiscriminate advertising, 1977-1984
4 July, 1977 to 4 October, 1984
Soul Han, 23/09/2012
Artificial baby milks—so called "infant formula"—became widespread commercial product during the early decades of the twentieth century. Among many companies involved, Nestlé's was the biggest promoter, controlling more than 40% of the estimated $1.72 billion market. Nestle aggressively pursued the interest from infant formula with indiscriminate marketing. The marketing that evoked popular indictment was their promotion of infant formula in the Third World.
German environmentalists hold in place nuclear phase-out plan, 2008-2011
November, 2008 to May, 2011
Thomas Fortuna, 25/09/2011
On the cover of its 7 July 2008 issue, Der Spiegel, one of the largest and most respected news sources in Europe, depicted the international symbol of the anti-nuclear movement (a smiling sun with the words "NUCLEAR POWER? NO THANKS" surrounding it) languishing half-submerged in the ocean with an accompanying caption that read "Atomkraft - Das unheimliche Comeback" (Nuclear Power: Its Eerie Comeback).
Greenpeace stops Kimberly-Clark's destruction of the Boreal forest in Canada (Kleercut), 2004-2009
November, 2004 to August, 2009
Hannah Lehmann, 21/09/2011, Pauline Blount, 25/04/2013
Kimberley-Clark Corporation is the largest tissue-product manufacturer in the world, producer of well-known brands including Kleenex, Scott, and Cottonelle. It is no surprise that Kimberly-Clark is also arguably the leading consumer of wood-fiber. However, before 2009, Kimberley-Clark continued to take 90% this wood-fiber from unsustainably managed forests, most notably the ancient Boreal Forest in Canada.
Germans defend Ruhr Valley from French and Belgian invasion (Ruhrkampf), 1923
January 11, 1923 to September 26, 1923
Maurice Weeks and Max Rennebohm, 21/07/2008 and 10/09/2011
Following a loss in World War I, Germany was charged to pay reparations for their destructive role. The bill was $33 billion. Germany had been weakened by the war and paying the reparations at the rate in which they were due would have completely crippled the country. Germany therefore tried to gain more time to pay. The Germans set forth a proposal for U.S banks to loan funds for the reparations and for France to reevaluate the reparations.
Mass occupation of proposed Wyhl nuclear power plant site in Germany, 1974-1977
January, 1974 to November, 1975
Nathalie Schils, 07/07/2011
Due in part to the OPEC energy crisis in the 1970s, Germany began a transition to greater nuclear energy production. Demand for electricity was projected to grow by seven percent annually and the state's solution was the construction of eight nuclear plants by 1990. Citizens in communities that were determined suitable for the building of a nuclear facility were worried about the potential dangers of nuclear energy – low-level radiation, the risk of a catastrophic disaster, the disposal of radioactive waste and other environmental impacts due to the construction and operation of the plant.
East German protest emigration and Hungarian solidarity, 1989
August 19, 1989 to September 11, 1989
George Lakey, 17/08/2008
"The pulling down of the Berlin Wall began in Sopron," stated Lothar de Maiziere, East Germany's last prime minister.
On the outskirts of Sopron, a small town on the border between Communist Hungary and democratic Austria, they had a picnic – a most unusual picnic. The organizers wanted to "act out the future in the present."
East Germans protest for democracy (The Peaceful Revolution), 1988-90
January, 1988 to March, 1990
Hanna King, 10/10/2010
In 1988, the German Democratic Republic (GDR) had been under Soviet rule for more than 40 years, and the Berlin Wall had stood erect for nearly 30. Strict Socialist rule meant extreme limits on speech and action. Travel outside the country was prohibited, and many East German citizens were separated from family and friends living in West Germany. Dissenters to government of the GDR and Soviet rule led small protests throughout the years of Soviet rule, though in great fear of punishment from the Stasi, the secret police of the GDR.
German citizens defend democracy against Kapp Putsch, 1920
Adriana Popa 27/11/2010
In March 1920, Walther von Lüttwitz, a commanding general in the German army, and Wolfgang Kapp, a German provincial official (with the help of a few other German officials, such as Chief of Staff, General Hans von Seeckt and his collaborators in the Ministry of Defense), attempted a coup d'état (called the Kapp Putsch). The conspirators had two main aims in mind: to avoid the implementation of certain articles in the Treaty of Versailles (such as the reduction of the German army) and to replace the government of the Republic with a Rightist regime.
German wives win the release of their Jewish husbands (Rosenstrasse Protest), 1943
On Saturday, February 27, 1943, the Gestapo in Nazi Germany began the "Final Roundup of Berlin Jews," arresting all Jews in the city of Berlin. Many of these Jews were in intermarriages with non-Jewish spouses or were the children of such intermarriages. When these intermarried Jews (mostly men) did not return home after the arrest action, the non-Jewish spouses later found out that their husbands had been imprisoned in the Rosenstrasse, a Jewish community center.
German university students campaign for education reform, 2009
February, 2009 to December, 2009
Danny Hirschel-Burns, 06/02/2011
The Bologna Process, a European agreement signed by Germany in 1999, made degree programs comparable throughout Europe. In Germany this meant that programs originally designed to last five or six years were compressed into three or four, creating a degree program quite similar to the United States'. This substantially increased the course load for students. Decreased funding for universities also meant a poorer standard of education, larger classes, and the implementation of tuition fees. Between February and December 2009, thousands of German students protested thes

Yeah, it was an incredibly interesting exchange. The thing that troubles me is that he seemed like such a decent leader, well in touch and smart as a whip, but the burial locations of people who have opposed him are many – something of a Russian tradition.
I was intrigued by his detailed economics knowledge and …. the fact that he took to the ice. Can you imagine playing opposite ? Not me man, no way am I going to block him and put the boot in to Putin.
He took to ice-skating/hockey. He swims every day but sleeps a steady 7 hours each night. No philandering that I know of nor surrounds himself with blondes that flick hair to the side. His hands are always above the table and things appear above board at all times.
He is a Trouserzon at all times.
Very interesting post. Yes Putin at this point knows more about the US than the present Model T. Our government is in shambles because now Russia has made some inroads and the GOP doesn't want to admit that we have a bummer as president. There are so many fingers in the pie that the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing or saying. Its pitiful. I can't watch the news anymore- it was making me ill.
I doubt Trump will see the year out. I do hope things will improve. Life has a way of balancing things out. However, accidents do happen too. It was interesting to hear Putin's theory on Nato which he regards as an organisation that seeks to find adversaries that they can then wage war against.
Has there ever been a time when the US with allies did not wage war somewhere? Australia has just decided to send more troops to Syria. The madhouse continues.
I had no idea Oliver Stone directed Midnight Express. It's one of my favorite movies of all time.
Oliver Stone wrote the script. Often his movies were collaborations with other writers and directors. Midnight Express was outstanding.
Yes, his calmness impressed us. He never winced or evaded the question, often outdoing Mr Stone on historical details. A straight talker, calm and collected.
He has popular support, but also a side whereby opponents claim mysterious disappearances of enemies., but who knows?
Cloak and daggers everywhere. It is best to stick to growing daisies and coffee sipping, Kayti.
Putin is like eye fillet steak compared to sausage mince Trump and our own sinking ship's captain here in Australia.
Putin seems like the man next door. No blaring trumpets or blowing of bugle. We of course know nothing about him except that what we are fed by the 'media.' So, trying to get close to the man, the interview by Oliver Stone is as good as anything to try and get a grip on Putin as a man.

Doctor Foster's Mike Bartlett takes on the Press
September 10, 2018 Entertainment Comments Off on Doctor Foster's Mike Bartlett takes on the Press
The heat of the editorial morning meeting
Doctor Foster creator Mike Bartlett had an idea for a "West Wing-style" newspaper drama years ago. But nobody was interested.
Fast-forward to the fallout from 2012's Leveson inquiry following the hacking scandal, and suddenly he had everyone's attention.
The BBC One drama Press stars Priyanga Burford and Charlotte Riley as the editor and deputy editor of broadsheet The Herald.
The paper is in competition with The Post, a tabloid headed up by Ben Chaplin's Machiavellian editor and overseen by the paper's owner (David Suchet).
As he began writing, Bartlett found "the industry had begun to change" as the rise of online journalism and social media took hold.
The Herald is struggling to turn a profit
That influence, coupled with Bartlett's trademark fast-paced, tense and addictive scriptwriting, makes for a heady cocktail of scandal, ethics, relationships, money and power.
While Bartlett is keen to point out that "the characters come first… we really hope you will fall in love with them", the backdrop is equally compelling.
"It's about an industry that's been the same for a long time and has to change. And that's going to have bad consequences – and really good consequences.
"Everyone is going to need news because we need facts more than ever, and therefore we need journalists finding those facts more than ever," he explains.
Ben Chaplin (right) finds little time for family life
"Where we choose to get our facts from and who we trust is a big question mark for the industry and us."
Bartlett, along with director Tom Vaughan and the lead actors, delved into the real-life world of newspapers ahead of filming.
They began by visiting The Mirror and The Guardian.
"We were like kids in the sweet shop! I couldn't believe we were allowed in there," Riley exclaims.
"The shoe was on the other foot with us asking the journalists questions – they were quite sheepish!" she laughs.
Riley said she was "shocked at how tough the job is" and realised that journalists "really do take their work home."
She also met Lisa Markwell, former editor of the Independent, whom Riley describes as "an incredible woman" who "was very forthcoming re: the personal effects [of work] on her life."
The drama sees junior reporters tackling difficult stories
With a job that can be hard to switch off from, ethical dilemmas – from door-stepping bereaved parents to bringing down the careers of politicians – are at the heart of the series.
"The pressure, the passion, the clash between principles and… the need to make money makes for really good drama," Burford says.
It's also noticeable that the cast is so diverse.
Having Burford and Riley as The Herald's two head honchos is definitely a step in the right direction – a significant shift away from the old days when a male-dominated Fleet Street ruled supreme.
A significant number of the cast are from BAME backgrounds, and deaf actor Genevieve Barr also stars.
"When something's going to be on the BBC, you want it to represent the country," Bartlett says.
"It's important for me."
Bartlett's plays include King Charles III – the BBC adaptation of which starred Charlotte Riley
But he also says he found it a true reflection of the modern-day workplace.
"There was diversity in the newsrooms that I saw," he explains.
The playwright turned TV writer is presumably hoping Press has as big an impact as his hit series Doctor Foster, which starred Suranne Jones and Bertie Carvel.
"I'd love a second series [of Press]," he says. "We could tell a million stories."
Press begins on BBC One on 6 September at 21:00 BST.

Q: Mongodb Exporter as a Service in linux I'm trying to install mongodb exporter using this github link: https://github.com/percona/mongodb_exporter
I follow this link for instruction
https://www.percona.com/blog/2020/04/17/how-to-configure-mongodb-exporter-with-ssl-tls/
So far no problem, I can use the "mongodb_exporter" binary file alone to execute and successfully connected to mongo by executing
mongodb_exporter --mongodb.uri=mongodb://user:password@localhost:27017?ssl=true&sslclientcertificatekeyfile=/etc/ssl/mongo.pem&sslinsecure=true&sslcertificateauthorityfile=/etc/ssl/mongo.pem

But to run this binary file as a service, I create a mongodb_exporter.service in /etc/systemd/system folder.
Here is the content of the service's file:
[Unit]
Description=Mongodb Exporter
After=network-online.target

[Service]
User=mongodb_exporter
Group=mongodb_exporter
Type=simple
EnvironmentFile=/etc/.mongodb_exporterconf
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/mongodb_exporter $ARG1

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

As you notice, there is .mongodb_exporterconf file that I created earlier and then assign the ARG1 variable the flag "--mongodb.uri" above
When I check the status of this service, it throws this error error msg="Can't create mongo session to mongodb://****:password@localhost:27017?&sslclientcertificatekeyfile=/etc/ssl/mongo.pem&sslinsecure=true&sslcertificateauthorityfile=/etc/ssl/mongo.pem" source="mongodb_collector.go:188"
For the moment I have no idea what I missed, but there's only 1 clue I found but I'm not so sure, is that the error message didn't show or skipped the "ssl=true" option. Or I just missed some configuration. Any idea or help is appreciated!

A: Turns out that I just need --mongodb.uri=mongodb://user:password@localhost:27017?ssl=true, the other options are optional.

IDAHO FALLS — He was the smallest baby his parents had ever seen.
Less than 11 inches long and weighing 435 grams — a little more than a can of soda — Kaio Abel Doxey entered the world 16 weeks before he was supposed to.
His eyes were sealed shut. His skin was red and shiny. His mother says he looked more like an alien than an infant.
Yet as tiny as baby Kaio was when he arrived, his will to live has been bigger than just about anything you can imagine.
Kaio was supposed to be born Oct. 27 and his parents, Kaio and Jessica Doxey, along with his 2-year-old sister, Stella, were thrilled to welcome a boy into the family.
But at the beginning of July, Jessica felt sick.
"I felt really unwell. I was seeing spots. I had pre-eclampsia with my first, so I recognized some of the similar symptoms," Jessica recalls.
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication that causes high blood pressure, kidney damage and other problems. It can be deadly and affects about 5 percent of pregnant women in the United States, according to the World Health Organization.
Jessica's doctors were concerned and she was immediately admitted to Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center.
"They told me to stay pregnant as long as I can. He was really small and he was really close to not being able to make it," Jessica says.
The 26-year-old mother received a variety of drugs to keep her and baby Kaio healthy, but nothing worked. Her organs were shutting down and on July 7, nearly four months before her original due date of Oct. 27, doctors said Kaio needed to be delivered immediately or they would both die.
"It was overwhelming. I could possibly lose my wife, I could possibly lose my son and getting all that together and being able to come to grips with what could possibly happen was difficult," Kaio Sr. remembers.
At 24 weeks pregnant, Jessica was rushed in for an emergency C-section. Doctors told her not to hope for more than a stillbirth and around 11 a.m., the Doxeys' son quietly arrived.
"He looked so skinny and non-babylike. It was really scary," Jessica remembers.
Specialists began working on the tiny premie as other doctors treated Jessica.
Kaio Sr. prayed for his son.

Dr. Wyc Cheatham was the neonatologist working at EIRMC the day Kaio was delivered. He was aware the boy's father was watching the medical team as they tried to keep the baby alive.
The Doxeys were told that if baby Kaio could survive 72 hours, his chances of making it long term would increase dramatically.
"Kaio (Sr.) and I basically counted every hour for those first few days, and we felt every hour because it was really scary," Jessica says.
Cheatham says premature babies often aren't born with a lot of medical issues but the stress of fighting every day to survive can take a toll on their tiny bodies.

"The big concern in the babies born that early is they often have events or problems that lead to permanent disabilities – strokes and heart conditions and other things that can complicate the rest of their lives," Cheatham says.
When he was a few days old, Kaio caught an infection that worried his parents and doctors. He was able to fight it off, and at day eight, his mother was finally able to hold him. A few days later, it was daddy's turn.
Around 8 percent of babies born in Idaho are premature, according to the March of the Dimes. That's lower than the national average of 9.6 percent.
Newborns 23 weeks and younger rarely survive, but nearly 90 percent of babies born after 24 weeks live, Cheatham says.
The Doxeys visit the hospital every day and sit with Kaio in his room at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. They've documented important milestones – putting on his first diaper, giving his first bath, watching him open his tiny eyes and hearing him cry for the first time.
Jessica and Kaio Sr. says it's helped to have a hospital close to home, and they've been impressed with the care they've received at EIRMC. They're thankful they don't have to travel to Salt Lake City or Boise for Kaio's medical treatment.

Baby Kaio continues to show progress, even though he should still be inside his mother's womb for another nine weeks.
If all goes as planned, he'll be weaned off his machines and he'll grow into a healthy baby boy who should be able to go home around Halloween.

Series 2 start date confirmed
Jane McDonald is back doing what she does best – taking her audience with her on the high seas to explore the cruising life. There's a cruise for everyone, and Jane is not going to stop until she has explored them all.
In the first episode of the new series, Jane takes her first Scandi-cruise in style. Aboard the Viking Sky, she encounters luxury like she has never seen on a ship before. The first stop on her trip is Tallinn in Estonia, a perfect medieval jewel of a town where Jane joins an excursion to look at the ancient architecture and learn about the region. Life on board the Viking Sky moves at a suitably Hygge-like pace, and Jane takes advantage of the relaxed atmosphere and huge space.
The second stop is St Petersburg, jewel of the Russian crown and a first for Jane. She heads to the Hermitage Museum, not for the art but to meet the cats who have lived in the basement since 1745. She also comes face-to-face with one very surprising celebrity Russian doll.
Next up is Helsinki — another big surprise and one of the world's design capitals. Here Jane buys some eye-wateringly expensive cushion covers and meets a woman whose ambition it is to kiss a brown bear.
Finally, the ship pulls into Stockholm for one of the highlights of Jane's journey — a guided tour round the ABBA Museum. She becomes the 'Fifth Member of ABBA' and gets insider info from Ingmarie Halling, director of the museum and friend of the band.
Series 2 of Cruising With Jane McDonald starts on Friday 1st September at 9pm on Channel 5. Watch series 1 on My5 now.

Like so many of us I have been through all the models from A100 to A99ii and the A99ii has left me in awe. For me a real surprise was the Sony 500 mirror lens. I had bought it some years back and to say results on the A77 & A77ii were disappointing is putting it mildly, AND THEN I bought the A99ii and WOW! it all changed. Don't ask me why as I have no idea but suddenly it performs remarkably. So Mike there is always life in the old dog and I'm not talking about old pensioners like us. I hope you enjoy your 'new find' as much as I have mine.

Covid Hospital Admissions are Falling in England, as are the Total Number of Covid Patients – and Omicron Looks Unlikely to Change That
by Luke Perry
28 November 2021 5:50 PM
There follows a guest post by the Daily Sceptic's in-house doctor, a former NHS consultant now in private practice. He's looked at the latest NHS England data and points out that there are fewer than half as many Covid patients in English hospitals than there were this time last year, not 14 times as many, as was claimed recently.
On Friday November 26th, the South African Institute for Communicable Disease released a statement in relation to the Covid variant now referred to as Omicron.
The variant had been first detected on November 12th from specimens collected in Gauteng Province and the molecular structure was characterised by November 22nd. The statement from the South African Institute on November 26th considered that the Omicron variant did not meet the WHO criteria for being either a 'variant of interest' (VOI) or a 'variant of concern' (VOC). Yet less than 24 hours later, the WHO had classified the Omicron variant as a 'variant of concern'.
The definitions of variant classification are clearly laid out by the WHO. Classification of a 'variant' usually proceeds stepwise, from VOI to VOC. Classification of a VOI requires data collection to verify different effects of the specific variant and upgrading it to a VOC requires evidence that the variant is definitely evading prior immunity or making humans more severely unwell than previously.
I cannot find any evidence in the open sources to date that shows infection with the Omicron variant carries any greater risk of hospitalisation or death than the currently dominant Delta variant. One obvious possible reason for this absence of evidence is that the variant was only identified very recently. Given the known time lag between infection, the development of severe disease and hospitalisation, there has not been sufficient time to assess whether this particular new strain is clinically significant or not. It might be, but we just don't know.
Simply put, it is not yet clear whether this new variant is a bad one (more infectious and more lethal) or a good one (more infectious but less severe). Opinion is clearly divided on how this situation will develop. Dr. Angelique Coetzee, the Chair of the South African Medical Association, speaking on Marr on Sunday 28th said that so far all the known patients infected with Omicron had very mild symptoms and none of them had been admitted to hospital.
Looking at the 'charts that matter' this week, we see a continual reduction in Covid admissions to hospitals (graph one). It's important to note that all of these admissions are likely to be the Delta variant rather than the Omicron variant.
Graph one
Graph two shows that the total number of Covid positive patients in hospitals also continues to fall – from this we can reasonably infer daily discharges are higher than daily admissions.
Graph two
The Pritchard ratio (the number of patients in hospital with Covid divided by the number at the same date in 2020) is approximately 0.43 – so there are currently fewer than half the number of Covid inpatients compared to this time last year – not 14 times as many. Covid positive patients occupy approximately 4% of NHS hospital beds.
ICU numbers show a similar pattern (graph three).
Graph three
I was encouraged to see in last week's report from the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre (ICNARC) that vaccination status has now been included in the data. The absence of this important information from such a reliable and credible audit has puzzled me for months.
Table 16 of the report shows that overall, 75% of patients in ICU with severe Covid are unvaccinated and there is a gradient of incidence with increasing age – 90% of admissions in the youngest age group (18-29 years-old) were unvaccinated compared to 39.3% in the over 70s.
Nevertheless, the data presented only refers to the period from May 1st to July 31st. I find it surprising that there isn't more up to date information available. Clearly, the proportion of the population double vaccinated at the end of November is likely to be higher than it was at the beginning of May and that may have a significant bearing on the ICU admission figures. Further, a casual glance at graph three above shows that the incidence of ICU cases between May 1st and July 31st is very different to the period from September 1st to November 26th. Surely, there must be more up to date information about vaccination status of ICU patients available? Why not publish it, unless it tells a different story to the one the NHS wants to tell?
Overall, the trends as we go into winter are fairly stable or on a gradual downslope. The numbers are substantially better than this time last year. Professor Chris Whitty acknowledged as much at the Downing Street press conference on November 27th. The widely predicted resurgence of influenza has so far failed to materialise. The National Influenza and Covid Surveillance report shows extremely low levels of both flu and Respiratory Syncitial Virus (a common winter respiratory infection in children) – both far lower than at this stage in prior years.
In politics, as increasingly in clinical medicine, decision makers are fixated on blame – as in who gets it when things go wrong.
The reimposition of travel restrictions and mask mandates in England in response to the identification of the Omicron variant marks the crossing of a new threshold in 'non pharmaceutical interventions'. At the start of the pandemic, the WHO stated that societal restrictions should be regarded as a last resort – mainly because of the known economic and wider adverse public health consequences.
We have now come to a situation where societal restrictions are imposed on the basis of fear about what might happen, rather than a rational analysis of what has happened and is currently happening. Patrick Vallance acknowledged in the Downing Street press conference that, as yet, there is still no clear data suggesting Omicron is more dangerous than the Delta variant.
Simply put, the Government now reaches for societal interventions as the first resort to a perceived public health threat, rather than as a last resort. This is a worrying precedent as it opens the door to arbitrary restrictions by the executive on the population based on opinion rather than quantifiable facts. I'm sure the implications of that shift are obvious to readers.
Stop Press: According to the Telegraph, backbench Conservative MPs who are sceptical about the effectiveness of NPIs are asking for a House of Commons vote about the new restrictions on Tuesday. Read more on that story here.

A couple I know owns one of those fine Victorian-style early 20th century homes that they are gradually modernizing and renovating. Each year they do a major project; last year they decided it was time to redo the floors, which still showed scuffs dating back to the Spanish American War. They visited a few suppliers and talked to several contractors to discuss what they wanted to do and consider what best suited their place. They wanted something really stylish that would make the place stand out.
That is when they got their first shock. The selection of flooring styles and types offered by Lumber Liquidators was enormous. It took them a day just to narrow down the types of floorings they figured might be most appropriate for their particular home. Of course, there was always the option of merely resurfacing the existing flooring. But they also found a wide selection of different new flooring types and styles that might be perfect if they wanted a completely new floor. The choices ranged from basic laminates to stylish woods to even polished slates, tiles or marbles. And they could use a Groupon coupon to get discounts of up to 50% off on solid hardwoods. This could substantially reduce the cost. They'd planned to install the floor themselves but they were dissuaded by folks who said the skills and equipment required to cut and shape the flooring, coupled with the expertise needed to assure that the floors were properly installed, made it much more advisable to have someone who was experienced and certified do the work. A good friend said it wasn't something they could learn just by attending a few seminars at a local hardware store.
So they examined other options, and discovered they could get a $500 discount on the cost of installation by using a Groupon coupon to have the work done by a professional Lumber Liquidators installer. The combined savings for materials and installation was too good a deal to pass up; they had their new floor installed before fall began. It was in place in time for them to hold their first Halloween Party at home, and they made a point of having the floors so well polished that guests could admire the shine of party lights and costumes reflected in the new floor surfaces.
A home bar is a great way to relax after work or to entertain your family and friends. There are many different elements that make up a solid home bar. The bar tends to be stocked much as an actual bar would be. You will have much more flexibility with what sorts of equipment you need. For example, if you don't make any mixed drinks, then you might not need a shaker. They're a good thing to have around either way because someone you invite over might want one. The things that you need break down into a few categories; you need things to store bottles, open bottles, make drinks, and serve drinks.
If you want to store bottles in a novel way, you have several different options. The simplest way to store wine and liquor bottles is with a bottle rack. If you are looking for a novelty solution, there are many different ways to store bottles so they it appear to be inside of a high-heeled shoe. There are bottle holders that depict roosters drinking wine or many other fun ideas. You can also store the liquor or wine outside of the bottle. Liquor keeps longer in a decanter than wine might but many different types of decanters are great for aerating a beverage and displaying it.
Wine needs to be aerated somewhat so that its full flavour can be enjoyed.
Opening bottles depends on the type of bottle. A wine bottle needs a corkscrew. The simple manual corkscrew is the most reliable way to open wine bottles. There are many themed and interesting corkscrews available at barwareandmore.com.au. If you want an easier way to open up a wine bottle, you can choose an automatic corkscrew or a pump corkscrew. A traditional corkscrew works by applying rotational pressure to drive the corkscrew into the bottle. A pump corkscrew works because you apply downward pressure; the corkscrew translates that downward pressure into rotational force. An electrical corkscrew does all of the work for you. They're great for people who have trouble opening wine bottles for any reason.
To make drinks, you need shot glasses for measuring portions of alcohol. You also need large mixing glasses so that you can mix drinks. A shaker is a great way to mix drinks because it allows you to make shaken drinks instead of simply stirred ones. You can also strain out the ice with a shaker. Furthermore, you need a muddle stick if you plan to make cocktails with muddled herbs. Once you've made the drinks, you need a fun way to serve them.
You can always serve drinks in plain glasses but you still need to have appropriate glasses. Having the right kind of glasses allows you to enjoy the different beverages in the best possible light. A brandy snifter allows the brandy to breathe and allows you to smell the aroma before you drink, for example. The glasses are designed with each drink in mind.
One of the best ways to hang out with your friends and family is to go out to the perfect place and dine. But eating at expensive restaurants with a cliché sophisticated ambience gets quite boring with time. Bangalore has always been a city that is full of surprises. The city houses great restaurants where you can satiate your hunger with delectable food. In addition to this, there are number of restaurants in Bangalore that give you the feel of Punjab and provide you with rich flavours in a vibrant desi dhaba ambience.
Silbatti HSR- The Silbatti HSR restaurant is one of the few restaurants that captivate you with the beats and vibes of North India. Interiors consist of wall lanterns, charpoy seats, brick walls and potted plants. The entire setting of the place looks very earthy and alluring. The place also plays nice Bollywood tunes that make you feel like grooving. This is the ultimate place for an ultimate meal. The menu lists a wide variety of options from the North Indian cuisine and whatever you order is finger licking good here.
Dhaba By Claridges- This is another popular restaurant with a dhaba like feel to it. Men who serve food here also dress in nice Punjabi outfits. Food served here are classic dishes of North Indian cuisine. This place is going to take you through a ride of flavours of Punjab. This place is situated in Indira Nagar and is quite popular for aroma as well as spicy indulgence. This place is also quite ideal for hosting parties and other events.
Puran da Dhaba- If you are looking for a village dining experience, then this is one of the perfect places to go to. The entire place has an ambience similar to a village. The place offers great North Indian food. The interiors and the decor of the place will make you feel that you are sitting in some dhaba of Punjab and enjoying the sumptuous delicacies. The place also has a nice bar that serves a large variety of cocktails and drinks. Overall the ambience of the place is quite stylish and amicable.
The Dhaba- For all those who are travelling, this place which located in Marathahalli provides a respite for food. The place serves Indo Chinese food also but the North Indian food is more famous. With a charpoy seating, the entire place gives you a very rustic appearance. It serves the authentic flavours of North Indian food.
So, any time you wish to try the flavours of North India in South India, these are some of the perfect places for you to try. The entire ambience will make you forget that you are in Bangalore and you will feel close to mother Nature in the fields of the Punjab.
RO stands for Reverse Osmosis and this is used to remove hardness of water and bring the water to permissible TDS level. TDS or Total Dissolved Solvents ensures that natural minerals that are good for your body stay in the water with the help of a TDS Controller system. This way you are ensured that the water you drink is just 100% pure and tasty to drink. There are no added chemicals or harmful hard salts present in the water after RO purifiers has purified the water.
A UV Water purifier uses simple Ultra Violet radiation to get rid of any kind of germs in the water. These water purifiers purify excessive pathogens and microbes in the water. UV kills all microbes present in the water and because of this, you are assured that your family is drinking pathogen free water. Water tastes completely normal and all bacteria and viruses are killed using simple UV light.
This is a very simple water purifier that uses a very highly porous superior membrane known as UF membrane. This UF membrane has a hollow fibre and is hydrophilic. The size of a pore is about 0.3 microns due to which there is absolutely no way a microbe or microorganism could pass through the membrane. This ensures that the water is free of any kind of pathogens and your family is protected from water borne diseases. It is less costly and works perfectly.
This type of purifier uses both the above mentioned technologies to give double protection to your family. You are protected from all kinds of microbes as they are killed first by the Ultra Violet Radiation and then removed from your water by the UF membrane. This gives you 100% pure water with no possibility of error.
When you combine all three water purification technologies, you get a masterpiece. There is absolutely no way of getting impurities past this water purifier as it uses RO to remove excess salt content, UV to kill microbes and other pathogens and UF to eradicate these pathogens completely. If you are unsure of the amount of pollutants in your water supply, you should always go for an RO-UV-UF water purifier.
These purifiers purify any kind of water to give your family drinkable water, so that your family isn't troubled with any kind of waterborne diseases. Rest assured, having a water purifier at home, would definitely keep the doctor away, just like an apple!

Irish and Manx Names
These two countries are grouped together because the native language in each was Gaelic. However, it is important to note that there were other cultures and languages in each country. In some periods there were Norse communities in each country, and later English communities. Members of each culture had names constructed according to their own customs, which slowly blended with the native naming customs in some ways. The articles listed below cover both Gaelic and non-Gaelic names in these lands.

Is there, any way, by which a Spring Cloud Data Flow Server installed on Local machine can be used to connect to AWS S3 bucket and use the same as sink

A: Maybe is a configuration issue in your dev env, As for version of spring cloud Brixton.SR7, to configure manually the region you would set in your application.properties (or .xml, .yml whatever you're using). This parameter should be ONLY for your dev env, unless you truly need to specify it in production.

I also had to set next property for dev, but maybe you dont need it.

Farming is a tough business in Canada these days, with U.S. border closings and a poor growing season wreaking havoc with farmers' ability to harvest profits. For organizations that offer financing to farmers, these turbulent times mean it's paramount to have a clear picture of customers' loan activity.
Farm Credit Canada is a federal Crown corporation that provides loans to some 50,000 agricultural businesses in Canada. Based in Regina, Sask., FCC has 100 offices across the country. Its customer list includes farmers who have experienced cash-flow pressures due to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), more commonly known as Mad Cow Disease. FCC has implemented a program to help customers deal with the financial fallout from BSE and other challenges, says Derwin Arnstead, FCC's director of market development.
""Account managers will work with customers on an individual basis to assess their situations and explore options such as deferred payments, interest-only payments or restructuring debt,"" he says.
Despite the challenges in today's farming sector, FCC's portfolio of loans — now $10.5 billion — remains healthy, showing growth for the eleventh consecutive year.
In 2002, FCC relied on a number of technology systems to store information relating to its customers. Because there was little integration among the systems, extracting data to gain a bird's eye view of what was going on with an individual client was a challenge, Arnstead says. This was a constant source of frustration for account managers who often deal with clients who have a number of loans with FCC, he says.
Enter customer relationship management technology. FCC saw CRM as a tool that would enhance its ability to provide better service to its customers. After several months of homework and investigation, FCC selected PeopleSoft's CRM software.
Getting senior management on board was key to the project's success, Arnstead says.
""We put the executives through a day-long CRM course and that helped to get them on side early,"" he says.
In fact, executive buy-in is a ""major contributing factor"" to the overall success of any CRM project, according to a recent study by IBM's Institute of Business Value. It surveyed more than 200 large companies across a variety of industries in an effort to determine why so many CRM initiatives fail and what can be done to improve the statistics. The study shows that in more than one-third of companies, senior management actually impedes the success of CRM because it views it as ""useful, not critical"" to the business.
Emphasis on the wrong drivers may be responsible for some of the failures with CRM initiatives, the study states. IBM says some of the most critical CRM success drivers include strategy and value proposition development, budget process management, change management and governance. Other steps that were traditionally thought of as critical in deploying CRM — developing a business case and ROI, metric development, stakeholder assessment — play a role, but are not ""strong contributors"" to project success.
FCC devoted significant resources to change management and process change within the organization, factors IBM identifies as critical CRM success drivers. It assembled a CRM project team that included project managers from the business side, the IT side and one from IBM, the implementation vendor FCC selected. Arnstead says this combination ensured the technology would always take a second seat to the business value it was delivering.
""It's really easy to get excited about the technology, but the business project manager was always there to bring it back to the business value,"" he says.
FCC decided on a piecemeal approach to implementing Amigo, the moniker for the CRM system.
In the first wave, which went live in March, FCC implemented PeopleSoft CRM 8.8 including support, CRM for Financial Services and CRM Portal for the front office layer. The middleware layer is comprised of BEA Weblogic Integration, PeopleSoft HRMS, loan accounting and a loan origination system as well as Microsoft Active Directory. The infrastructure layer was built on Hewlett-Packard servers running an Oracle 8i database.
With Amigo, FCC now has a 360-degree view of core customer information, which Arnstead says makes life a lot easier for account managers.


Narrated mostly by his wife and sons this film starts with asking what it means when something is Altmanesque. It is a testament to his influence that this is even in the film lexicon and various actors try and give us their definition of it throughout the film; disappointingly that's the only contribution from these actors in this documentary.
Portrait of American director Robert Altman in his home on September 26, 2005.
Although it is an interesting whistle stop tour of his career this film despite seeing home movies, archive footage and behind the scenes stills seems a bit flat. I would have liked to hear more from his casts about his ensemble way of working; his best films used great ensemble casts; not allowing any one star to emerge.
This is a loving portrait of Robert Altman but I wished for more; it could have done with some grit, something a bit more revealing and perhaps hearing from his peers in the directing world could also have added to the scope of this project.
Worth a look from a film lovers point of view.


The surface of the skin is covered by intersecting grooves and ridges which produce characteristic skin surface patterns. It has been suggested that these folds provide a reserve of tissue, allowing the skin to stretch during normal function1–3. The extensibility of the skin depends on the direction of extension4, and the skin surface patterns are apparently also directionally disposed5. The relationship between the structural directionality of the surface and the directional extensibility of the skin was investigated in vivo.

Q: Keep track of download progress in PHP All,
I have built a form, if the users fills in the form, my code can determine what (large) files need to be downloaded by that user. I display each file with a download button, and I want to show the status of the download of that file next to the button (download in progress, cancelled/aborted or completed). Because the files are large (200 MB+), I use a well-known function to read the file to be downloaded in chuncks.
My idea was to log the reading of each (100 kbyte) chunk in a database, so I can keep track of the progress of the download.
My code is below:
    function readfile_chunked($filename, $retbytes = TRUE)
    {
          // Read the personID from the cookie
          $PersonID=$_COOKIE['PERSONID'];
          // Setup connection to database for logging download progress per file
          include "config.php";
          $SqlConnectionInfo= array    ( "UID"=>$SqlServerUser,"PWD"=>$SqlServerPass,"Database"=>$SqlServerDatabase);
          $SqlConnection= sqlsrv_connect($SqlServer,$SqlConnectionInfo);
          ChunckSize=100*1024; // 100 kbyte buffer
          $buffer = '';
          $cnt =0;
          $handle = fopen($filename, 'rb');
          if ($handle === false)
          {
                return false;
          }
          $BytesProcessed=0;
          while (!feof($handle))
          {
                 $buffer = fread($handle, $ChunckSize);
                 $BytesSent = $BytesSent + $ChunckSize;
                 // update database
                 $Query= "UPDATE [SoftwareDownload].[dbo].[DownloadProgress] SET     LastTimeStamp = '" . time() . "' WHERE PersonID='$PersonID' AND FileName='$filename'";
                 $QueryResult = sqlsrv_query($SqlConnection, $Query);
                 echo $buffer;
                 ob_flush();
                 flush();
                 if ($retbytes)
                 {
                        $cnt += strlen($buffer);
                 }
          }
          $status = fclose($handle);
          if ($retbytes && $status)
          {
                 return $cnt; // return num. bytes delivered like readfile() does.
          }
          return $status;
    }

The weird thing is that my download runs smoothly at a constant rate, but my database gets updated in spikes: sometimes I see a couple of dozen of database updates (so a couple of dozens of 100 kilobyte blocks) within a second, the next moment I see no database updates (so no 100 k blocks being fed by PHP) for up to a minute (this timeout depends on the bandwidth available for the download). The fact that no progress is written for a minute makes my code believe that the download was aborted.
In the meantime I see the memory usage of IIS increasing, so I get the idea that IIS buffers the chuncks of data that PHP delivers.
My webserver is running Windows 2008 R2 datacenter (64 bits), IIS 7.5 and PHP 5.3.8 in FastCGI mode. Is there anything I can do (in either my code, in my PHP config or in IIS config) to prevent IIS from caching the data that PHP delivers, or is there any way to see in PHP if the data generated was actually delivered to the downloading client?
Thanks in advance!

A: As no usefull answers came up, I've created a real dodgy workaround by using Apache strictly for the download of the file(s). The whole form, CSS etc is still delivered through IIS, just the downloads links are server by Apache (a reverse proxy server sits in between, so users don't have to fiddle with port numbers, the proxy takes care of this).
Apache doesn't cache PHP output, so the timestamps I get in my database are reliable.

A: I've asked a similar question once, and got very good results with the answers there.
Basically, you use a APC cache to cache a variable, then retrieve it in a different page with an Ajax call from the client.
Another possibility is to do the same with a database. Write the progress to a database and have the client to test for that (let's say every second) using an Ajax call.

Colin John Tunnicliffe (born 11 August 1951) is a former English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire between 1973 and 1983.

Biography
Tunnicliffe was born in Derby. He appeared for Derbyshire Juniors from 1968 and played for Derbyshire Second XI in one match during the 1971 Second XI Championship. In the 1973 season he made his debut in the County Championship against Essex when he expensively took no wickets for 81 runs although he was not out in both innings. He played regularly in 1973 and 1974. However, he did not play at all in 1975,  and in 1976 played one first-class match and five games in the John Player League. He returned to regular appearances in 1977 and continued to play in Derbyshire's first team  and one day competitions until 1983, staying on top of his game for much of this period. He achieved his best bowling performance of 7 for 36 against Essex in 1980. In the 1981 season, Tunnicliffe scored the winning run, which tied the scores with Derbyshire having lost fewer wickets, on the last ball of the NatWest Trophy final against Northamptonshire.

In his final season in 1983 Tunnicliffe made his top score of 91 against Hampshire.

Tunnicliffe was a left-arm medium-fast bowler and took 319 first-class wickets with an average of 32.17 and a best performance of 7-36. He also took 190 wickets in one-day competitions, with a best performance of 5 for 24. He was a right-handed batsman and played 176 innings in 150 first-class matches with an average of 14.32 and a top score of 91 not out. Added to Derbyshire's lower-order defence of the early-80s, Tunnicliffe was just as effective in the lower-order as he was tenacious as a tailender. He made six half-centuries in his first-class career. He also played 105 innings in 167 one day matches.

After retirement from playing cricket, Tunnicliffe was commercial manager at Derbyshire County Cricket Club and later at Derby County Football Club.

Tunnicliffe now lives in Derby.

The Sims 2 (GBA)
Some Sims games are good, and generally it's the PC versions which are the good ones. Occasionally Sims games on the handhelds are good, i.e. Bustin' Out and the Urbz. Generally, Sims games on the handheld are awful, and the GBA version of The Sims 2 is no exception.
The plot of this game revolves around you working for Daddy Bigbucks, a change from previous handheld games which saw you working against him to foil his nefarious plans. It appears that Daddy Bigbucks has got a get-rich quick scheme of running a TV series based in the town of Strangetown, with you as the central character.
The basic premise of this game is that you run around in the story, which is broken into episodes, completing tasks and errands, in order to advance the plot, without anyone finding out they are in a TV series.
Unfortunately, this game feels more like one glorified fetch quest. Now, I don't know about you, but on the whole, I don't find glorified fetch quests compelling as far as storyline and plot goes. Okay, there's the odd exception to this (Dragon Quest IX), but this game falls flat so far as story goes. I honestly can't remember anything major from the plot, and that's writing this shortly after playing it.
You also get no freedom so far as completing plot points goes. Whereas in previous handheld Sims games you could complete objectives for each overall goal in whatever order you wanted, in this game it follows a rigorous set pattern of "do this, unlock the next one, do that, unlock the next". A Sims game shouldn't be like that and force you to follow a set of objectives set in stone in a set order!
Well, I miss the hip-hop style music used for the older handheld games. Apart from the opening credits music though, none of the music in this game is particularly notable or memorable.
As for the sounds the Sims make when you're interacting with them, where are they? Okay, so there's the odd bit of Simlish when you are speaking to them, but it never varies, and lots of the mumbles are reused for different Sims. Why?
This is going to be controversial. I think the graphics are a step down from those from the older games, like the Urbz and Bustin' Out. They just look flat and dull and lifeless. Everything looks like it's some shade of yellow or brown, and I really can't get into the graphics. What happened to the vibrant, colourful graphics we saw in Bustin' Out?
Even the character portraits look worse than the ones used for Bustin' Out! Same goes for character models. Just, no.
Multiplayer Options
No multiplayer option is available in this game.
How can a glorified fetch quest be challenging when it spells out to you exactly what to do? How can there be any challenge when you're unable to deviate at all from the plot? How can there be any challenge when the motive system has been shot to hell, and there's no real need for motive management? How can there be a challenge during social interactions when you only get an option to pick between two or three options and it's luck if it works or not?
Honestly, the most challenging aspect of this game was actually finishing it without throwing it at a wall. A point for tenacity, I think.
Okay, I've already gone into enough detail on the fetch quest aspect of this game, and why it doesn't work. As for other stuff:
There is no need for motive management. All the motived have been consolidated into one bar, and there is no way of telling which motives are about to fail, or which motives are okay. The most the game will tell you is when one is about to fail, and it quickly pulls your motive bar down until you've sorted it out.
Something which really grates on my nerves, as I personally like the more tactical element of having to manage eight different needs at once and keeping on top of them all at once. An element which is sadly missing from this game.
One of the aspects of the Sims which although was minimised on the older handheld games, was that of being able to decorate your home. In this game, this aspect has been butchered. There's no way to change the colour of items you buy, and there's a pool of about twenty different furniture items you can get, so there isn't much in the way of customization of your house going on.
Social interactions are also lacking. When you go up to somebody to interact with them, you get the option of having a friendly, romantic or intimidating conversation with them. Once you've made your choice on the type of conversation, you go into a screen with two or three options on what to do, and you pick one, and hopefully it's successful, causing the social meter you have with the Sim you're interacting with to increase. Annoyingly, if the interaction fails, it takes a chunk off your motive meter, and can cause it to fail completely and cancel out of the social interaction. This is frustrating as it seems to be randomly determined whether an interaction will fail or not.
As far as customization goes, you can select what your Sim wears from a limited array of clothing and the colour of it, hair colour and skin colour and aspiration from a choice of three. And that's about it. Not really much going on here on the customization front, which is a shame, as this is an area where this series shines.
Why would anyone want to subject themselves to this game more than once? Maybe to see what happens if you changed your interactions with the characters, but that would be about it. Suppose you could replay it to try and get a better rating score, maybe.

Who Is Neomi Rao? Trump's Nominee Could Replace Brett Kavanaugh On D.C. Circuit
BYErin Corbett
November 14, 2018, 5:49 PM UTC
WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 13: Administrator of White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Neomi Rao (C) attends a Diwali ceremony in the Roosevelt Room of the White House November 13, 2018 in Washington, DC. U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he had nominated Rao to fill the seat vacated by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. (Photo by Alex Wong/Getty Images)

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he's nominating conservative lawyer Neomi Rao to replace Brett Kavanaugh on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
The president made the announcement, which came as a surprise, during a Diwali lighting ceremony at the White House, CNN reported. "She's going to be fantastic—great person," Trump said at the event.
Rao presently serves under the Trump administration as the administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, which is part of the White House's Office of Management and Budget. In her position, Rao has been described as an "ally" to the administration in its work to strip federal government regulations, according to Politico.
Trump's announcement during the Diwali ceremony came one day earlier than scheduled. "We were going to announce that tomorrow," he told the crowd who gathered at the White House. "And I said, you know, 'Here we are, Neomi, we're never going to do better than this.'"
When asked to comment on the announcement, Rao said, "Thank you very much, Mr. President, for the confidence you've shown in me. I greatly appreciate it."
Rao previously worked as a law professor at George Mason University, and worked under the conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as a clerk. Rao has also spoken at events held by the Federalist Society, a conservative legal nonprofit, Politico reported.
If confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate, Rao would join the Court of Appeals in hearing cases determining the legality of federal regulations. But her addition to the court would not change the balance, as the court currently holds a Democratic majority.
