Months later, Trump closes in on U.N. nomination

President Donald Trump is expected to formally nominate Kelly Knight Craft next week to be the new United States ambassador to the United Nations, a position that has remained unfilled for months at a time of global concerns that president is not committed to such diplomatic institutions.
But Craft, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, faces a tough Senate confirmation process for the same reasons that are thought to have held up her nomination since Trump first tweeted his intent to pick her two months ago: There are questions about her family's extensive business interests and her dearth of knowledge about international issues at a time when the U.S. faces numerous geopolitical challenges, including from Russia and a fast-rising China. Her husband, Joe Craft, is a billionaire coal executive with close ties to the White House.
As America's top diplomat in Canada, Craft has an important but relatively easy diplomatic position compared with the U.N. role, which former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley held until the end of 2018. Craft's nomination would follow Trump's botched attempt to place former State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert in the U.N. role, an effort that stalled for two months before she withdrew from consideration. The position is almost certain to be less powerful than under Haley, given indications that Trump, a skeptic of multilateral international organizations, will take it out of the Cabinet.
Although Craft has staunch backing from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, a fellow Kentuckian, suggesting she will ultimately be confirmed, Senate Democrats say they will show no mercy during the process.
New Jersey Sen.Robert Bob Menendez, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's top Democrat, told POLITICO days after Craft's tweet-nod from Trump that her upcoming confirmation hearing is sure to differ from her previous one. Craft largely sailed through that earlier hearing, though she stumbled over a question from Menendez on whether she believed Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election, saying "that it looks as if yes," but that she'd "have to investigate this further or learn more points on this."
The U.N. ambassador "is one of the most senior diplomatic positions we have," Menendez said. "She got a fairly easy pass because she was nominated to Canada. That's not the type of pass she'll get for this nomination."
Democrats are sure to press Craft on Russia, China, human rights issues and climate change, Menendez said. The U.N. helps manage the global Paris climate pact, which Trump said the U.S. will withdraw from in 2020. And Craft briefly became an internet sensation in October 2017, when she told a CBC News reporter that there are "sciences … on both sides that are accurate."
Despite her previous vetting, Craft and her husband's financial situations will also probably face renewed scrutiny from Democrats — particularly given that the U.N.'s climate change efforts could directly impact Joe Craft's line of work.
Kelly Craft can expect a warmer reception from several Foreign Relations Committee Republicans, many of whom have received campaign contributions from her and her billionaire husband. At least half of the panel's GOP members have received financial infusions from Kelly or Joe Craft since the 2012 cycle, according to Federal Election Commission records reviewed by POLITICO. The review was limited to candidates' campaign committees and leadership PACs.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), whom the Crafts backed in the 2016 presidential race before fundraising for Trump, told POLITICO he'd support her nomination. "She'd do a good job," he said. "I know her well."
Canadian officials and lawmakers describe Craft as accessible and helpful in relaying messages to high-level contacts in Washington — a lengthy list that includes Trump, McConnell and Vice President Mike Pence. That built goodwill in a foreign capital otherwise simmering in anger at Trump, who is deeply unpopular in Canada in part over his hard-nosed approach to trade.
Craft was in the middle of hosting reporters for a happy hour in September at her Ottawa residence when Trump berated Canada during a news conference. Craft answered pointed questions about the president defended Canada's Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland after Trump said Freeland "hates America."
Two people familiar with the matter said Craft expects her nomination will be sent to the Senate next week, though one warned that the White House often changes course at the last minute. She plans to meet members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee soon after the nomination is submitted. The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
Craft has received regular briefings on international issues ever since Trump tweeted on Feb. 22 that she was his choice for the role, two people familiar with the issue said. The briefings have been held via secure conference lines and in-person in Ottawa, they said. Craft did make a trip to Dallas earlier this month to the George W. Bush Presidential Center's 2019 Forum on Leadership.
The delay in Craft's nomination has evoked feelings of déjà vu as well as worries that her nomination, like Nauert's, could be scuttled, people familiar with the matter said. Trump initially announced Nauert as his U.N. choice on Dec. 7. But the nomination was scrapped in mid-February, ostensibly over Nauert's previous employment of a nanny who lacked a proper work permit.
There also may be more potential financial conflicts of interest for Craft at the U.N. than for her current post, particularly given her husband's coal industry work.
"Observers underestimate the amount of time it takes to fill out the financial disclosure forms," a person familiar with the process told POLITICO. "Every holding must be disclosed and explained. The Office of Government Ethics comes back with multiple questions that have to be answered to their satisfaction."
The United Nations faces any number of challenges in the coming weeks and months, including the potential for an all-out civil war in Libya that could further exacerbate the global migration crisis. Getting nominations through the Senate can take months, but Trump will probably want his new ambassador in place before world leaders gather for the annual U.N. General Assembly in September.
At the U.S. mission to the U.N., staffers have been sanguine about the recent turbulence in their leadership ranks.
Haley was well-regarded among the career staffers in the mission, who said she treated them well. Nauert's scuttled nomination caused some internal consternation at the U.N., but a staffer told POLITICO that the acting chief, Ambassador Jonathan Cohen, is managing well despite being short-handed.
"It's fine," the staffer said about the overall mood. That said, Cohen's recent nomination to be U.S. ambassador to Egypt was recently submitted to the Senate, adding unease about yet another U.N. leader departing and an urgency to get Craft confirmed, two people with knowledge of the process said.
The U.S. mission to the U.N. has drawn attention this week after reports that it threatened to veto a U.N. Security Council Resolution against rape in conflict zones over objections to language referring to "sexual and reproductive health." Some Trump administration political appointees believe that such phrases are actually coded references to abortion.
One reality U.N. staffers are preparing for is that their leader will likely no longer be considered a Cabinet-level position whenever Haley's replacement is confirmed. That means the U.S. mission will have to coordinate more closely with the State Department. Under Haley, whom Trump included in his Cabinet, tensions flared at times between State and the U.S. mission.
There's also the sense among staffers that Craft will have even less independence than Haley, who closely guarded her relationship with Trump, because of the presence of John Bolton as Trump's national security adviser. Bolton previously served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush, and he's long been skeptical about the world body's value and competence.
"What to watch for is less guidance from State and it's more to what extent does John Bolton become the primary decision-maker," another person familiar with the nomination process said.

I may be able to help fill in a hole or two. I've moved so many times over the years, I doubt that I kept my WT30 lists. I didn't keep track of the whole top 30, just the top ten. But I do distinctly remember these songs making it to #1 at some point:
"When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman" (either 8/25/79 or 9/1/79)
"I'll Never Love This Way Again" (10/20/79)
"Babe" (12/1/79)
And I believe these songs may have reached the top spot as well:
"Sad Eyes"
"Urgent"
"Stop Draggin' My Heart Around"
Also, "Being with You", "Endless Love", and "Arthur's Theme" each might have had an additional week at #1.

I can confirm that Babe/Styx was #1 on 12/1/79 and 9/1/79 was My Sharona/The Knack. It looks like I'll Never Love This Way Again never went to #1...although I'm missing two weeks from its chart run (25-20-n/a-12-8-5-4-3-4-9-n/a-17-25-25), the missing weeks mean it couldn't have reached #1.
Also, When You're In Love With A Beautiful Woman peaked at #2 (16	15	6	5	2	3	7	7	n/a	18	24 off)
Sad Eyes peaked at #2 for three weeks (29	14	8	n/a	3	2	2	2	8	16	17	n/a	25	29
My guess is that My Sharona held #1 for three weeks 8/18/79 - 9/1/79. I can't confirm 8/25/79 but if wasn't it means that it fell from #1 only to go back the falling week.
Hopefully, I'll more to report soon.

I can help out with 2 Blank Spaces!
8/25/79 is My Sharona By the Knack. I Don't have that show but i have the 9/8/79 show and Mark Says "After Holding #1 for the past 3 weeks the Knack Falls to #3.
the other show is 5/9/81 Being with you by Smokey was #1 for a second week.
Also I Have the 7/5/80 special "All Time Top 30" countdown. with this show they included a copy of that week's computer print out of the top 30. The song that was #01 that week was "Still Rock and Roll to me" which would have made it #1 for 3 weeks in July. that's all i have for now. I Kept up with the show the first few months while trying to keep up with AT40 so if i find my old notebook soon i will see if i have anymore of the 1979 shows written down. also my Record collection only goes to the end of June 1981 Due to the station i worked for (later that year) Dropped WT30 For Dick Clark. But if i come across any of the other shows i will let Y'all Know.

Updated list of #1 songs just two to go to finish it 10-20-79 & 8-22-81. You can pretty much guess that Endless Love spent more than just one week at #1 so 8-22-81 is probably Endless Love.

99x was airing both the Weekly Top 30 and AT40 in 1980. Weekly Top 40 Debuted on 99x on April 26, 1980. the show started with him saying something like "And now ladies and gentlemen the weekly top 30."The intro song to the show was very catchy. Mark Elliott was popular back then subbing for Casey and doing various specials including "The Number One Radio Show" that played every number 1 song from 1964 to 1981. On the July 4th week the show did a countdown of the Top 30 of all time.

The #1 song for 10-20-79 has been discovered and now updated on the list of #1 songs meaning there's just one more song to figure out the week of 8-22-81. Did "Endless Love" spend two weeks at #1 or was just one week? My gut tells me two weeks but until the cue sheets or a copy of the show appears; this is the last mystery #1 of the shows' run.

The cellular trash that builds up in the brain gets cleared away during sleep. More reasons to get your Zs.
Sleep is crucial to health; that much is clear. From helping rev your metabolism to improving memory, the benefits of getting a good night's sleep — and the dangers of sleep deprivation — are no longer a matter of debate.
However, even as new benefits keep showing up, researchers have found it difficult to figure out exactly what it is that sleep does to produce such a huge range of health effects. Now they think they may have the answer.
Sleep, researchers suspect, helps brain cells clean up their trash, or, more scientifically, it is involved in the recently discovered process by which brain cells clear out the protein debris that has been linked to dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The finding revolutionizes how we think about the brain — and sleep.
Astrocytes pump cerebrospinal fluid rapidly through the brain's tissues. This flushes out debris and other waste through the blood-brain-barrier and into the circulatory system, where it is eventually processed by the liver for removal.
Until recently, it was not clear how the brain removed its own waste. The major system responsible for clearing waste in the rest of the body — the lymphatic system — does not penetrate the brain.
Scientists had previously found that the total amount of energy consumed by the brain did not dramatically decrease during sleep, indicating that the brain was performing an important task. But no one knew what that task was.
Then last year, researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center discovered a massive "plumbing network" in the brain responsible for cleaning out bits of debris from proteins. This network, called the glymphatic system, is comprised of connections made by astrocytes, a type of glial cell found exclusively in the brain.
In a landmark paper published in the journal Science, the group at Rochester put two-and-two together. They demonstrated that the glymphatic system is highly active during sleep, rapidly clearing out the brain's own garbage.
Using state-of-the-art imaging techniques in the brains of living animals, the researchers observed that the astrocytes pump cerebrospinal fluid rapidly through the brain's tissues. This flushes out debris and other waste through the blood-brain-barrier and into the circulatory system, where it is eventually processed by the liver for removal.
In addition, the scientists discovered that during sleep, most brain cells reduce in size by 60 percent. This constriction increases the space between cells, allowing more cerebrospinal fluid to wash through and enabling the astrocytes to remove even more waste.
By comparing the glymphatic system in awake mice vs. sleeping mice, the scientists discovered that the glymphatic system was 10-times more active during sleep than wakefulness. The system was also more efficient during sleep, removing more of a toxic product called amyloid-beta, the protein that accumulates in brains of Alzheimer's disease patients.
"The brain only has limited energy at its disposal and it appears that it must choose between two different functional states – awake and aware or asleep and cleaning up," said Maiken Nedergaard, co-director of the University of Rochester Medical Center Center for Translational Neuromedicine and lead author of the article.
"You can think of it like having a house party. You can either entertain the guests or clean up the house, but you can't really do both at the same time."
Next up is to figure out how the glymphatic system is regulated. There is already speculation that noradrenaline, a hormone that is less active during sleep, may control the reduction in brain cell size that facilitates the flow of cerebrospinal fluid.
The researchers are also planning to test whether the glymphatic system is actually present in humans the same way it is in mice. While evidence of the system has yet to be directly imaged in human brains, scientists have postulated that it is most likely there because mice brains are structurally similar to those of humans, just smaller.
The study's findings have major implications not just for sleep researchers but for the whole neuroscience field in general. Already evidence in mice has suggested that the glymphatic system may be pivotal in clearing out toxic proteins that cause Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and other devastating brain disorders.
If that's the case, then you can add sleep loss to the growing list of risk factors for brain disease.
This study is published in Science.

This summer, we conducted focus groups for 48 Local 117 members in the public sector, including several Teamsters at King County. We wanted to hear from you about how to build a stronger Union that can more effectively fight for fair wages and good benefits for all members.
One of the things we learned is that members want more responsibility and to take greater ownership of their Union. They want more active Shop Stewards who play a greater role in the workplace; they want to understand their contract; and they want to get involved.
After listening to your input, we have launched a new program to train Shop Stewards to help resolve first-step issues together with members. In addition, Shop Stewards will have the primary responsibility to run Labor Management Committee meetings.
Members covered by our KCIT contract are in the process of creating a 10-person "pilot" Union policy committee that will meet bi-monthly to discuss issues that can help Shop Stewards set the agenda for LMCs and project a wider voice of the members. If you have requests for Union trainings or other ideas about how we can build a stronger, more cohesive Union, please share them with your Business Representative. We want to hear from you!

Any help is appreciated. Thanks and have a good day ahead.

A: Can you not try to move the line
.ActiveConnection = conn

To outside the loop. Obviously fully qualifying it..
Accdata.ActiveConnection = conn

That looks to me that you are trying to make the connection for each iteration and I think it is only necessary once... maybe.

A: To best fit your code, Id try something like:
Sub SomeRoutine()

Dim conn As ADODB.Connection
Dim Accdata As ADODB.Recordset
Dim Accfield As ADODB.Field
Dim wsQueryR As Worksheet, wsFinal As Worksheet
Dim c As Long

Set wsFinal = Worksheets("Final")
Set conn = New ADODB.Connection
Set Accdata = New ADODB.Recordset

conn.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Users\wongki7\Desktop\MTSU Db.accdb;"
conn.Open
Accdata.ActiveConnection = conn
Accdata.LockType = adLockReadOnly

For c = 2 To WsInput.Range("J" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    Call Accdata.Open("SELECT * FROM BLah Blah")
    Sheets("Result").Range("a2").CopyFromRecordset Accdata
    Accdata.Close
Next
conn.Close
End Sub

You may be able to look at the way you build the SQL request to build a query to get the data in one go and and do a single paste to Excel with the CopyFromRecordset.... but that's a different issue.

A: A mistake I've made many times before. When assigning objects, you need to use Set. Change the line to
Set .ActiveConnection = conn

.Source and .LockType are scalar properties, so they don't need Set, but .Activeconnection does.

'Crisis On Infinite Earths' To Stretch Across 5-Episode Arc Into The New Year
The tradition of the CW crossover event of the Arrowverse – Arrow, The Flash, DC's Legends of Tomorrow, and Supergirl – began in 2014. It had been the first time two superhero shows had interacted, establishing to new fans they shared the same universe. The crossover was repeated in 2015, and as each new series was introduced, the interactions that followed – "Invasion," "Crisis on Earth-X," and "Elseworlds" – dominated four days of primetime viewing. The adaptation of Crisis on Infinite Earths teased at the conclusion of "Elseworlds" is due in the fall, and producers will again break the mould
Five Hours of Adventure
Legends, which sat out this year's "Elseworlds" crossover, is scheduled to return in 2020 and will be involved in the story. CW President Mark Pedowitz announced Thursday that the scheduling will span across the midseason break. Fans can expect to tune in to the first quarter in December, then wait till after the holidays to view the second.
"'Crisis on Infinite Earths' [will be] the biggest and most complicated [Arrowverse crossover to date], " Pedowitz previously announced.
The Crossover Vs. The Comic
Crisis on Infinite Earths was a 1984 plot by Marv Wolfman and George Perez which reset the DC Universe. It was a solution to the convoluted problem that had plagued the company's books involving the Multiverse. The end result simplified their line by eliminating other realities while survivors were merged into one, single dimension and Earth. Supergirl and Barry Allen were amongst the casualties and did not return to regular continuity until the early 2000's. The Multiverse, as well, was nonexistent until its resurrection in 2007's Infinite Crisis.
"I can't tell you if it'll follow the comic book version, " he added. "[But] if you know the history, things collapse."
Over the past five years, elements from that epic story have been teased throughout the Arrowverse. However, the most prominent facet has remained on The Flash. That foreshadowing comes in the form of a 2024 digital news article. Written by Iris West-Allen, the story details The Flash's disappearance amidst the crimson-skied event. The seasoning of teasers increased in this past year's crossover.
The Foundation Laid Thus Far…
"Elseworlds" introduced key Crisis players such as The Monitor (Lamonica Garrett) and Psycho Pirate (Bob Frazer). Writers went the extra mile with the canonization of John Wesley Shipp's version of The Flash from the CBS series in 1990 as a survivor of the doomed Earth-90. And, finally, it was the teased focus of The Arrowverse's founding pillars. The season finale of The Flash saw the Time Vault article's date moved up from 2024 to 2019. In Arrow, meanwhile, The Monitor returned to collect on Oliver's deal that saved Kara and Barry's lives in "Elseworlds." With Arrow in its final season, Oliver's predicted end during the Crisis seems all the more inevitable. Supergirl has its own season finale this Sunday and will reportedly have its own teaser scene for the Crisis.
There is still no definitive start date for "Crisis on Infinite Earths."

Secret Lives of OhioHealth: Doing Double Duty as a "Dance Dad"
Matt Miller has two full-time jobs.
On weekdays, he oversees a variety of projects as director of operations at OhioHealth Grant Medical Center. On evenings and weekends, he becomes "dance dad" to his two teenage daughters, Ally and Sophie.
Miller's daughters have taken dance lessons at a studio near the family's home in Upper Arlington since they could barely walk. They study multiple styles of dance, from ballet to tap, and modern dance to hip-hop. The girls also participate regularly in competitions, traveling across Ohio, and as far away as Los Angeles and New Orleans, to showcase their dancing prowess.
For Miller and his wife, Melissa, this requires schlepping their daughters to and from the dance studio multiple times a week. The family also travels together to dance contests, hauling suitcases packed with elaborate costumes and shoes.
"Sometimes we have to take two cars just to get all their stuff to the competition," Miller said. "I'm really just trying to be supportive. I like to see them perform and do well in the competitions, and I enjoy being involved from the standpoint of helping out."
Driving isn't Miller's only "dance dad" responsibility. He also loads and unloads the dance studio truck, moves props like oversized chairs and faux mirrors on- and offstage during performances, and photographs the dancers.
Although not a dancer himself – "I completely have two left feet" – Miller has come to appreciate the athleticism and dedication of the young dancers he encounters.
"A lot of them are really flexible, and they're very determined," he said. "It's kind of like the Olympics … If they have one little wobble or one turn they don't land quite right, it's points deducted."
Ally and Sophie have won numerous dance awards. Last spring, Ally was third runner-up in the Miss Teen Dance of Ohio competition, and she finished in the top five in Grand National finals in New Orleans at 13 years old.
"It's always so exciting to see them win because they get called up on stage and the emcee will talk to them and interview them," Miller said. "It makes me really proud."
But Miller said winning isn't the most important outcome. He feels pride just watching how much fun his daughters have dancing, and he loves seeing them make friends with other dancers from all over the country.
"As a parent, you try to teach them that winning's not the most important thing," he said. "It's the relationships, the experiences, the lessons in humility and pride. Those things are what's important."


This spiced salad of raw vegetables is known as Cachumber, Kachumber or Kachmbar in Southern India and Koshumbir or Koshimbir in Western India. These small side dishes of seasoned raw vegetables can be as simple as chopped onion seasoned with lemon and salt or a complex mixture of many vegetables and fried spices. This one is on the more complex end of the spectrum and is really delicious, it adds a lovely crunch to any meal. Choose your own variety of vegetables, whatever is in season, and feel free to experiment with other spices.
Finely chop the vegetables, for this recipe i usually do about 2-3 heaped tablespoons of each vegetable, aiming for about 2-3 cups of vegetables altogether.
Heat 1 tbsp of oil and when hot add the mustard and cumin seed then add the coconut. Stir and lift off the heat as soon as the mustard seeds crackle and the aroma from the coconut rises. Stir the fried spices into the freshly chopped vegetables add the juice of half a lemon or more and salt to taste. Leave for 1 hour before serving so that the flavours and juices of the vegetables mingle. Serve with a little extra coconut sprinkled on top.
Variation freshly grated coconut would be great but as i cannot grow it here i keep some bought unsweetened descicated in the pantry.
This raw salad type relish has bags of flavour and a lovely fresh zing to it. Sweet white onions are simply seasoned with salt, lemon and mint and the result is a delicious fresh side salad or relish to go with grilled foods, lentil or rice dishes.
Mince the onion finely. Sprinkle with salt and lemon juice. Rub the dried mint between the palms to break it down to a fine powder and sprinkle over the onions. That is it done, stir and serve. The salad can be left for an hour or so before serving and is still good 24 hours later so it can be made in advance.
Note In this part of France we a re lucky that it is an area famous for its sweet onions including the Cevennes Doux. A sweet Spanish or salad onion would make a good substitute. In most cases I would choose fresh herbs rather than dried but for this relish dried really does work best.
Garden Tip If you grow mint it is best to cut it back once or twice during the year, particularly as the weather gets hotter, to encourage fresh new growth. I grow a lot of mint so the twice annual cut backs provide plenty of mint to use fresh and to dry.
This is a simple tomato chutney or Tamatar Chatni made with fresh tomatoes and a light Indian spicing. The flavour is delicate, sweet with only a hint of heat. It goes wonderfully with all kinds of dishes.
Roughly chop the tomatoes discarding the cores. Heat the oil in a saucepan and when it is hot put in the chilli, cumin and cinamon and fry until the chillis start to turn brown. Add tomatoes sugar and salt and cook for about 15 minutes until the tomatoes are cooked down and the chutney is fairly thick.
This chutney is ready to serve immediately, it is not a preserve but it does last for a couple of weeks in the fridge.
Source The original recipe came from The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking by Yamuna Devi.
Note the original recipe cooked the tomatoes in ghee but I prefer to use sunflower or vegetable oil and I also added more dried red chilli but that really is up to your taste buds it is also nice to add fresh green chillis thinly sliced green chillis for extra punch.
If you have never tried tamarind chutney before give it a go; it is a quick with no cooking involved and absolutely delicious. If you can get your hands on fresh Tamarind pods by all means use those otherwise tamarind can be bought in blocks shelled and compressed.
Soak the tamarind block in the hot water for 20 to 30 minutes. Push it through a sieve along with the soaking liquid, make a few passes to get a thick puree. Stir all the remaining ingredients into the tamarind puree, taste and adjust the quantities to get a good balance. As simple as that. It will keep for 2 months in the fridge.
VariationI also make a version of this with black plum puree instead of tamarind which is really delicious.
This Indian raita comes from Madhur Jaffrey who has several versions of a yogurt and walnut relish. In her book Madhur Jaffry's Indian Cookery 1982, Kheere ka raita includes yogurt, chilli, salt, walnuts, green coriander, green chilli, spring onion and black pepper while the Kashmiri version in A Taste of India 1985 has simply yogurt, chilli, salt and walnuts. This version is based on the kashmiri recipe but with the addition of coriander and green chilli.
Bash the shelled walnuts with the coarse salt then stir into yogurt add sliced green chillis and ground dried chillis to taste add coriander stir well and serve.
Freshly made pickles or achars are a speciality of India and one of my favourite ways of eating raw veg, more of a side salad than a pickle, they are meant to be eaten fresh rather than stored. For this one the raw vegetables are simply tossed in spices and hot oil which transforms the humble carrot into mouth tingling morsel of yumminess that peps up all kinds of food. This one is particularly quick, requiring no standing time at all, and is hot, pungent and delicious. It really brings out the sweet crispness of the raw carrots and is wonderful with rice and a simple dal. You could also add it to a cottage cheese wrap, scatter over a leafy salad or just tuck into a bowlfull of this as a snack.
Peel and cut the carrots into small batons about two inches long. Crush the whole spices, a coffee grinder works perfectly or just bash them up in a mortar, add the other spices, sprinkle over the carrots and toss well. Heat the mustard oil in a small pan until it starts to smoke, this mellows the oil, then pour the hot oil over the carrots and toss to make sure all the carrots are coated in the oily spice paste. Serve immediately or it will keep for a few days in the fridge.
Recipe Source I am not clever enough to invent this stuff, this recipe came from Tarla Dalal's fantastic book Achaar aur Parathe. I have kept to her recipe but reduced the spicing a little bit.
This is a classic side salad. A refreshingly tangy salad of tomatoes, onions and cucumber straight from the garden with a hint of chilli and lemon which gives it the piquancy. Salads like this are found all around India, the mediteranean and middle east. It makes an excellent summer side salad and goes well with grilled meats and curries.
Optional herbs; flat leaf parsley, mint or coriander finely chopped.
Finely chop the onion, tomato and cucumber, add the citrus juice, season with salt, pepper, sugar and chilli to taste and give it a good mix. Serve immediately sprinkled with herbs.
This is not so much a recipe as a reminder to make something fresh to accompany a meal. We eat this stuff with everything, it is so simple and yet so tasty. Raw onions chopped and seasoned with home-made chilli powder, salt and a squeeze of lemon or lime. You can make it as hot as you like and it is a wonderful little fresh relish or kachumber to give an accent to any meal. I especially like it with Indian dishes, barbecues, and on picnics.
Variations add fresh herbs such as mint or coriander, grated coconut, fried spices or yogurt to make a side with more complex flavours.

Back to Infection Prevention Basics: Why the Foundations Matter!
Technology, research and innovation continually raise the bar for clinical excellence as well as for infection prevention. While the latest research is critical for patient and clinician safety, it's essential not to forget the basics of infection control. Infection prevention and sterilization processes are the foundation of every dental practice. As a result, a growing number of states have either adopted the CDC Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental Health-Care Settings as law or require continuing education in infection control. It's important to note that one patient complaint or threat of disease transmission can have a signifcant negative impact on your practice. This engaging session will review infection prevention basics in light of the latest techniques and products to help you ensure the safest environment for you and your patients. Take a common-sense approach in your practice by returning to the basics.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) patients experience health disparities as a direct result of social stigma and discrimination. For example, LGBT people use tobacco at rates that are 50% higher than the general population. The LGBT population also experiences challenges in accessing healthcare. They have lower health insurance enrollment in the US than the general population, seek treatment less frequently, and demonstrate limited engagement during treatment. Dental and other oral health professionals receive little training in the language, culture, and psychosocial needs of this population, often contributing to the negative experience of LGBT people in dental care. Using our own research and evidence based treatments, this workshop will offer a foundation of knowledge and concrete suggestions for better serving LGBT patients.

Management of acute dental pain is accomplished through a clinical approach that successfully incorporates opioid and non-opioid analgesics. However, this normally occurs outside the dental office, away from our immediate supervision and we are often faced with the difficult task of managing patient pain while also avoiding adverse outcomes for both our patient and our communities. Thus, it is critical for clinicians to accurately identify the need for pain control and associated risks, and to assess the efficacy of analgesic agents to be administered. This program will provide an overview of effective dental pain management and identification of addiction. Special emphasis will also be given to appropriate practices of prescribing opioids and individualized patient care planning.
Describe the pharmacology and mechanism of action of opioid and non-opioid analgesics.
Explain the intended role of opioid and non-opioid analgesics in the management of acute dental pain, as well as situations which may preclude their use, based on a patient's underlying medical conditions.
Describe techniques useful in developing individualized pain management plans as well as strategies useful in identifying potential opioid addiction.
Discuss appropriate prescribing practices for opioid analgesics to utilize in everyday clinical situations.

Amidst Invasion of Ukraine, Platforms Continue to Erase Critical War Crimes Documentation
By Mukund Rathi
When atrocities happen—in Mariupol, Gaza, Kabul, or Christchurch—users and social media companies face a difficult question: how do we handle online content that shows those atrocities? Can and should we differentiate between pro-violence content containing atrocities and documentation by journalists or human rights activists? In a conflict, should platforms take sides as to whose violent content is allowed?
The past decade has demonstrated that social media platforms play an important role in the documentation and preservation of war crimes evidence. While social media is not the ideal place for sharing such content, the fact is that for those living in conflict zones, these platforms are often the easiest place to quickly upload such content.
Most platforms have increasingly strict policies on extremism and graphic violence. As such, documentation of human rights violations—as well as counterspeech, news, art, and protest—often gets caught in the net. Platforms are taking down content that may be valuable to the public and that could even be used as evidence in future trials for war crimes. This has been an ongoing issue for years that continues amidst Russia's invasion of Ukraine
YouTube proudly advertised that it removed over 15,000 videos related to Ukraine in just 10 days in March. YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and a number of other platforms also use automated scanning for the vast majority of their content removals in these categories. But the speed that automation provides also leads to mistakes. For example, in early April, Facebook temporarily blocked hashtags used to comment on and document killings of civilians in the northern Ukrainian town of Bucha. Meta, Facebook's owner, said that this happened because they automatically scan for and take down violent content.
We have criticized platforms for their overbroad removal of "violent" or "extremist" content for many years. These removals end up targeting marginalized users the most. For example, under the guise of stopping terrorism, platforms often selectively remove the content of Kurds and their advocates. Facebook has repeatedly removed content criticizing the Turkish government for its repression of Kurdish people.
Facebook has at various times admitted its mistake or defended itself by linking the removed content to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which the US State Department designates to be a terrorist organization. Whether this justification is genuine or not (Facebook allegedly left up Turkey's ruling party's photos of Hamas, another US-designated terrorist organization), it effectively means the platform aligned with the government against political dissenters.
When a platform removes "violent" content, it may effectively censor journalists documenting conflicts and hamper human rights activists that may need the content as evidence. At the beginning of the Syrian uprising, without access to receptive media channels, activists quickly turned to YouTube and other platforms to organize and document their experiences.
They were met with effective censorship, as YouTube took down and refused to restore hundreds of thousands of videos documenting atrocities like chemical attacks, attacks on hospitals and medical facilities, and destruction of civilian infrastructure. Beyond censorship, this hampers human rights cases that increasingly use content on social media as evidence. A war crimes investigator told Human Rights Watch that "I am constantly being confronted with possible crucial evidence that is not accessible to me anymore."
During the Ukraine invasion, online platforms added some promising nuances to their content moderation policies that were absent from previous conflicts. For example, Facebook began allowing users in Ukraine and a few other countries to use violent speech against Russian soldiers, such as "death to the Russian invaders," calling this a form of political expression. Twitter stopped amplifying and recommending government accounts that limit information access and engage in "armed interstate conflict." This seems to be a nod to concerns about Russian disinformation, but it remains to be seen whether Twitter will apply its new policy to US allies that arguably behave similarly, such as Saudi Arabia. Of course, there may be disagreement with some of this "nuance," such as Facebook's reversal of its ban on the Azov Battalion, a Ukrainian militia with neo-Nazi origins.
Ultimately, online platforms have much more nuance to add to their content moderation practices, and just as important, more transparency with users. For example, Facebook did not inform users about its reversal on Azov; rather, the Intercept learned that from internal materials. Users are often in the dark about why their dissenting content is removed or why their government's propaganda is left up, and this can seriously harm them. Platforms must work with journalists, human rights activists, and their users to establish clear content moderation policies that respect freedom of expression and the right to access information.

The MDIS network just completed a very successful interoperability test (IOP) in Amsterdam at its June meeting. The MCS-DCS Interface Standardization (MDIS) network was formed with involvement from key industry Subsea equipment vendors, Topside DCS vendors and Oil and Gas operating companies. Its stated goal is to standardize the interface between subsea systems and the topside-platform DCS system. This includes the both the communication (OPC UA) and the information model that is transferred.
The following vendors attended and provided MDIS interfaces at the IOP: ABB, CSE W-Industries, ENGlobal, FMC, GE, Honeywell, Kongsberg, OneSubsea, Proserv, Siemens and Yokogawa. The goal of the testing was to verify the information model and to gain experience with the implementation requirements associated with the OPC UA Subsea to DCS interface communication.

Das Konzert für Klarinette und Orchester Nr. 1, op. 26, von Louis Spohr, wurde 1808 in Gotha im Auftrag von Herzog Günther Friedrich Carl I. von Sonderhausen komponiert und 1809 von dem Klarinettisten Johann Simon Hermstedt uraufgeführt.

Kontext

Nachdem er begonnen hatte, als Mitglied des Braunschweiger Theaterorchesters zu konzertieren, gewann Spohr das Mäzenatentum des Herzogs Carl Wilhelm Ferdinand von Braunschweig. Im April 1802 engagiert der Herzog den Geiger Franz Eck, einen der direkten Vertreter der Mannheimer Schule, und organisiert eine Reise nach St. Petersburg, an der der achtzehnjährige Spohr als Ecks Schüler teilnimmt. Aufgrund des Erfolges dieser Konzerte und der verschiedenen Rezensionen, die der Musikkritiker Friedrich Rochlitz in der weit verbreiteten "Leipziger Allgemeinen Musikalischen Zeitung" veröffentlichte, wurde Spohr zu einem Probespiel für die Stelle des Konzertmeisters in Gotha eingeladen und erhielt die Stelle im August 1805. Spohr lebte bis 1812 in Gotha, wo er seine Fähigkeiten als Dirigent weiterentwickelte und seine Erfahrungen als Komponist in einer Stadt mit relativ fortschrittlicher Politik und einer modernen, liberalen kulturellen Atmosphäre erweiterte. Spohr trat der liberalen Freimaurergesellschaft bei und wurde Mitglied der Loge Ernst zum Compaß

Über das Konzert

Das Klarinettenkonzert Nr. 1 op. 26 wurde 1808 komponiert, in den Jahren seines Aufenthalts in Gotha. Es ist das erste einer Reihe von vier Konzerten, die Herzog Günther Friedrich Carl I. von Sondershausen für den virtuosen Klarinettisten Johann Simon Hermstedt in Auftrag gab, der vom Herzog in seinem Kammerorchester angestellt war. Nachdem er das Konzert geschrieben hatte, besuchte Spohr Sondershausen, wohin er von Hermstedt eingeladen worden war, um die Kapelle des Klarinettisten zu hören. Beeindruckt lud Spohr Hermstedt ein, an einem Konzert teilzunehmen, das er am nächsten Tag organisierte. Zusammen mit Spohr als erster Geige führte Hermstedt Mozarts Klarinettenquintett vor einem begeisterten Publikum auf. Der Erfolg dieses Konzerts trug dazu bei, eine tiefe Freundschaft zu festigen, die sich schließlich zu einem dauerhaften Engagement zwischen den beiden Musikern entwickelte; Hermstedt spielte Spohrs Musik noch mehr als zwanzig Jahre nach der Komposition des ersten Konzerts.

Die ersten drei Konzerte sind für Klarinette in B geschrieben (opus 26, Nr. 1 von 1808; opus 57, Nr. 2 von 1810; Woo 19, Nr. 3 von 1821) und ein viertes für Klarinette in A (Woo 20, Nr. 4 von 1828). Obwohl das erste Konzert bereits Ende Januar 1809 fertiggestellt war, wurde es erst 1812 von Kühnel veröffentlicht.

In Spohrs Autobiographie können wir seine Reaktion auf Hermstedts Anfrage nachlesen:

"Ich ging gern auf den Vorschlag ein, da mir die immense Fertigkeit, welche Hermstedt neben schönem Ton und reiner Intoniation besaß, volle Freiheit gewährte, mich ganz meiner Phantasie zu überlassen. Nachdem ich mit Hermstedts Hilfe mich ein wenig mit der Technik des Instrumentes bekannt gemacht hatte, ging ich rasch an die Arbeit und vollendete sie in wenigen Wochen. So[121] entstand das C-moll-Konzert, (einige Jahre später als Op. 26 bei Kühnel gestochen), mit welchem Hermstedt auf seinen Kunstreisen so großes Glück machte, daß man wohl behaupten kann, er verdanke ihm hauptsächlich seinen Ruf. Ich überbrachte es ihm selbst bei einem Besuch in Sondershausen zu Ende des Januars 1809 und weihete ihn in die Vortragsweise desselben ein."

Das Ergebnis dieses Konzerts hat die Karrieren von Spohr und Hermstedt stark vorangetrieben und wurde zu einer Revolution in der Klarinettenspieltechnik, aufgrund der komplexen Passagen, die im gesamten Konzert vorkommen, sowohl in Bezug auf den Fingersatz als auch auf die Klangregister, die erreicht werden. Spohr sah sich im Vorwort zur Ausgabe von 1810 gezwungen, die Schwierigkeiten zu erklären, die in der Solistenrolle bestanden:

"Ich stelle den Klarinettisten ein Konzert vor, das ich vor mehr als zwei Jahren für meinen Freund, den Musikdirektor Hermstedt aus Sondershausen, komponiert habe. Da meine Kenntnisse über die Klarinette damals eher begrenzt waren, berücksichtigte ich ihre Schwierigkeiten kaum und schrieb einige Passagen, die dem Klarinettisten auf den ersten Blick unmöglich erscheinen mögen. Herr Hermstedt war jedoch weit davon entfernt, mich zu bitten, diese Passagen zu ändern, sondern versuchte, die Technik mit seinem Instrument zu vervollkommnen, und erreichte durch ständige Arbeit bald eine solche Meisterschaft, dass seine Klarinette nie wieder disharmonische, verschleierte oder unsichere Töne hervorbrachte".

Es handelt sich um ein Konzert voller Chromatik, das vom Interpreten eine damals seltene technische Gewandtheit sowie eine fortgeschrittene Beherrschung von Nuancen und eine leichte Ausführung von chromatischen Skalen und Arpeggien verlangt. Die Modulationen im Konzert sind kontrastreich und nutzen die Möglichkeiten des Instruments, sowie die chromatischen Übergänge zwischen den Tonarten. Aufgrund dieser technischen Schwierigkeiten mussten die Klarinettisten ihr Instrument nach und nach modifizieren und neue Klappen hinzufügen, um dieses Konzert aufführen zu können, im Gegensatz zu den üblichen Klarinetten des späten 18. Jahrhunderts, die nur fünf oder sechs Klappen hatten. Das Konzert, das 1809 unter der Leitung von Spohr uraufgeführt wurde, wurde mit diesen neuen Klarinetten gespielt, die auch auf verschiedenen Tourneen in verschiedenen europäischen Städten zu hören waren.

Instrumentierung

Die Partitur sieht neben den Streichern im ersten und dritten Satz zwei Flöten, zwei Oboen, zwei Fagotte, zwei Hörner, zwei Trompeten und Pauken vor.

Struktur

Das Konzert besteht aus den Sätzen:

I. Adagio - Allegro

II. Adagio

III. Rondo Allegro

Der erste Satz in klassischer Sonatenform beginnt mit einer kurzen Adagio-Einleitung, um dann als Allegro fortzufahren. Auf das erste Thema in c-Moll folgen ein zweites in Es-Dur und dann die Rückkehr zum ersten Thema in c-Moll. Die Durchführung steht in As-Dur mit dem zweiten Thema in C-Dur, kehrt zur Wiederaufnahme in c-Moll zurück und schließt mit einer Coda in C-Dur ab.

Der zweite Satz, ein Adagio in As-Dur und ohne Durchführung ist um eine einfache melodische Linie aufgebaut, wobei die Soloklarinette nur von den Streichern des Orchesters begleitet wird.

Der dritte Satz ist ein Rondo, das dasselbe Tonschema wie der erste Satz verwendet, aber in c-Moll endet und wie der erste Satz beträchtliches technisches Können erfordert.

However, I receive a couple of errors starting with a !Undefined control sequenec error. The errors are gone once I comment out the renewcommand function.
Here is a snippet from the log file which does not help me a lot:

! Undefined control sequence.  \makecvtitlenamewidth
                                   =0pt l.66 \makecvtitle
                    The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have misspelled it (e.g.,
  \hobx'), typeI' and the correct spelling (e.g., `I\hbox').
  Otherwise just continue, and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
! Missing number, treated as zero.
                     = l.66 \makecvtitle
                    A number should have been here; I inserted 0'. (If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number, look upweird
  error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
                     = l.66 \makecvtitle
                    Dimensions can be in units of em, ex, in, pt, pc, cm, mm, dd, cc, nd, nc, bp, or sp; but yours is a new one! I'll assume
  that you meant to say pt, for printer's points. To recover gracefully
  from this error, it's best to delete the erroneous units; e.g., type
  `2' to delete two letters. (See Chapter 27 of The TeXbook.)
! Undefined control sequence.  \makecvtitlenamewidth
                                    l.66 \makecvtitle
                    The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have misspelled it (e.g.,
  \hobx'), typeI' and the correct spelling (e.g., `I\hbox').
  Otherwise just continue, and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.
! Missing number, treated as zero.
                     \let  l.66 \makecvtitle
                    A number should have been here; I inserted 0'. (If you can't figure out why I needed to see a number, look upweird
  error' in the index to The TeXbook.)
! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
                     \let  l.66 \makecvtitle

Could you help me please to make this example compilable?

A: In an earlier version used variable \makecvtitlenamewidth has been renamed to \makecvheadnamewidth in the current version of moderncv, version 2.0.0.
So you have to change the variable name in your code. See the following

Jacob Stringer has been dreaming of performing with the Florida College Friends since he saw them perform for the first time at Florida College Arkansas Camp.
Without the Adopt Program, Jacob never would've made it to Florida College, let alone fulfilled his dream of joining the Friends and traveling across the country on tour with the group for three summers.
As a member of the Friends, Jacob plays the guitar, mandolin and banjo. He has been able to perform at a variety of shows and camps across the country, reminding him of his own camp experience at Florida College Arkansas Camp.
Although he wasn't thinking about Florida College at camp, he came to the college for the same kinds of experiences and relationships. The environment at Florida College has provided Jacob with opportunities to grow academically and spiritually and to build meaningful relationships with his peers.


On the first Wednesday of every month in church at 9 a.m. there will be a service of Morning Prayer followed by a time of prayer for the life and work of our Church of St Mary Magdalene. There will be a formal ending at 9.30 but all are welcome to stay for longer.
If you cannot join us at that time in church please pray at home. There will be a leaflet in church each month indicating a particular prayer need - please collect one and pray when you can.
This new initiative has emerged from our recent Awayday when we considered what are our values and what is our vision for St Mary's. There is an understanding that we need the help of God to find the best way forward - we need to spend time listening to God and seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit.


The publication of the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary in 1928 coincided with that of The House at Pooh Corner, the sequel to Winnie-the-Pooh which had appeared two years earlier. The character of Winnie-the-Pooh, however, made his first appearance in the collection of poems entitled When We Were Very Young, published in 1924. Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends make several appearances in the OED; the latest update has introduced several new entries drawn from A.A. Milne's delightful stories.
Eeyore, whose name reflects a childish representation of the donkey's bray, gets an entry all of his own–'a pessimistic, gloomy, or habitually disconsolate person'–which would no doubt give him no satisfaction whatsoever. Heffalump also appears in the OED, defined as 'a child's word for elephant', with quotations from both Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner: 'He guessed what had happened. He and Piglet had fallen into a Heffalump Trap for Poohs'. The association of these creatures with elephants is not made in the story itself, however; it is only apparent from an accompanying illustration, supplied by E.H. Shepard. As the story of the Heffalump trap demonstrates only too clearly–the trap in which Pooh and Piglet are caught is one they themselves dug to catch heffalumps–Pooh is a bear of little brain, another entry that has now been added to the OED. Defined as 'a person of little intelligence', this phrase is generally used self-deprecatingly, as it is by Pooh bear himself: 'I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, and long words Bother me'. Pooh's antipathy to long words is part of what draws him to his friend Rabbit, who uses 'short, easy words, like "What about lunch?" and "Help yourself, Pooh"'.
Another of the dangerous creatures reputed to stalk the Hundred Acre Wood is the woozle; although, having spent some time on its trail, Pooh and Piglet discover that they are walking in a circle and following their own footsteps – a realisation that leads Pooh to declare: 'I am a Bear of No Brain at All'. Appropriately, the mythical woozle does not feature in the OED, but its name lives on in the Woozle effect: a deliberate attempt to mislead by frequent citation of publications lacking evidential support – a useful term for the era of fake news and alternative facts.
The OED does, however, include an entry for Pooh-sticks, a game in which each player drops a stick over one side of a bridge, the winner being the person whose stick is first to reappear on the other side. The global popularity of the game is apparent from a citation included in the entry drawn from The Independent newspaper in 2004: 'At the 21st annual Pooh-sticks race in Wittenham, Oxfordshire, the Czech Republic won the team gold medal'. During one game of Pooh-sticks Eeyore floats helplessly past, having been bounced into the river by Tigger–entries for Tigger, Tiggerish, and Tigger-like are all being included in the latest update, describing those who share Tigger's irrepressible energy and enthusiasm, often with disastrous consequences for those around them. By dropping a large stone into the river, Pooh succeeds in 'hooshing' him to the shore, only to find the ungrateful Eeyore disputing the rescue, as captured in the OED entry for hoosh: 'Hooshing me? You didn't think I was hooshed, did you?… I dived and swam to the bank'.
Since Pooh is best known for his love of honey, it is particularly apt that he should be cited in its OED entry–'He sat down and took the top off his jar of honey'–while Pooh's fondness for a little something for elevenses also appears in the relevant section of the OED: 'Now then, Pooh, time for a little something'. Yet perhaps most fitting of all is the quotation that appears in the entry for bear, 'a child's toy': 'In that enchanted place on the top of the Forest a little boy and his Bear will always be playing'–encapsulating the way the Pooh bear stories live on in the imagination, and in their gifts to the English language.

I just love this cat hammock. Bought this few days ago for my cat. She absolutely loves it. Very happy with my purchase.
It looks cute and my cat lounges luxuriously in his posh, kitty-sized hammocks. It works great and my cat LOVES it. Cats just know if something is for them--something which they actually like--and this is it. My cat adores it.
Great hammocks for my big boy ferret. The construction is on point and much better than the ones I find at the common pet stores. Phenomenal price for 2! Highly recommend them! Fantastic quality.
My cats fit perfect in their new hammock we just bought. Very soft material, and most importantly our two 1 year old ferrets love it. Big enough for them to lay comfortably. The price was reasonable too. Great buy!!
I bought this one few weeks back. Our chairs have a very sleek finish, so I was expecting to have to do all sorts of tinkering in order to prevent this from slipping. To my great surprise, it hasn't moved at all since I installed it a few days ago. So far, so good.
My pets LOVE these! With this hammock, they create more sleeping space and room in the kennels especially if they have to be isolated for various reasons.
My cats love this hammock! They take turns laying in it and it's a big hit. It was easy to install under the chair, as well. One of my cats is 18 pounds and had no problems at all curling up in it to sleep. The hammock stayed in place and was still secure after he left.
