Commission provides expert advice to government to ensure UK trade policy secures opportunities for UK farmers and upholds high standards.
It will advise on trade policy that will help boost the South West’s food and drink exports. The South West region employs 32,000 people and the value of agri-food exports increased by 8.8% in 2019. It is famous for its outstanding cheese and cider.
The Member of Parliament for the Wells Constituency, James Heappey, has welcomed the formal launch of the new Trade and Agriculture Commission, unveiled by International Trade Secretary Liz Truss last week.
The Commission will ensure our high standards are upheld and our farmers are able seize new opportunities to export their goods abroad. This will help the UK agriculture sector to be amongst the most competitive and innovative in the world.
The Commission was established to bring together stakeholders across the industry, calling on their expertise to advise on:
- Trade policies the Government should adopt to secure opportunities for UK farmers, while ensuring the sector remains competitive and that animal welfare and environmental standards in food production are not undermined.
- Advancing and protecting British consumer interests and those of developing countries.
- How the UK engages the WTO to build a coalition that helps advance higher animal welfare standards across the world.
- Developing trade policy that identifies and opens up new export opportunities for the UK agricultural industry – in particular for SMEs – and that benefits the UK economy as a whole
International Trade Secretary, Liz Truss, said: “We’re stepping up our engagement with all the groups who have an interest in Britain’s agriculture trade policy. The Trade and Agriculture Commission will ensure the voices of the public and industry are heard, and that their interests are advanced and protected. It will advise the government on how Britain can remain a world-leader in animal welfare and environmental standards, and how we can seize new export opportunities for our farmers.
“This is about putting British farming at the heart of our trade policy and ensuring that our agriculture industry is amongst the most competitive and innovative in the world.”
Wells MP James Heappey said: “Agriculture and food manufacturing are hugely important parts of our local economy. We make world class food and drink here and it’s exciting to see the Government creating the Commission to promote our produce into new markets. Likewise, it really matters to our farmers that the high animal welfare and environmental standards that they maintain are protected. It’s great to see that the new Trade and Agriculture Commission will be making sure that those standards are not undermined.”


Legislature eyes 'peaceful resolution' to corporate tax battle
Sen. Mark Hass proposed an alternative to the looming ballot measure battle over corporate taxes, which could prove costly and politically damaging.
The threat of an expensive and politically devastating ballot measure campaign between business and labor interests over corporate taxes has prompted the Legislature to seek an alternative. Sen. Mark Hass announced a plan Monday to compete against Initiative Petition 28, which would substantially raise corporate taxes. But in the hour after Hass' proposal was unveiled, Senate Democratic leaders said there is support for the plan, but it's unlikely there will be more than conversation.
"There just has not been the kind of interest that you need to make a move like this and have it succeed," Senate Majority Leader Ginny Burdick said. "It just does not exist right now."
Hass said the proposal is "a starting point to find a peaceful resolution between two warring camps."
The plan would scrap Oregon's corporate income tax system in favor of a 0.39 percent Commercial Activity Tax, or CAT, modeled after Ohio's system. It would also cut taxes for households earning $58,000 or less, double the personal income tax deduction and raise the earned income tax credit to 18 percent of the federal EITC level.
Economic analysis predicts Hass' plan would increase taxes by $1 billion during the 2017-2019 biennium. Half of the money would be earmarked for public education. The other half would go towards middle- and low-earner income tax breaks. The Legislative Revenue Office predicts the plan would create 4,554 public and private sector jobs in five years.
IP-28, sponsored by union-funded Our Oregon, would create a tax rate of 2.5 percent on all sales past $25 million. By contrast, Hass' proposal has a lower tax rate yet affects many more businesses, including S corporations.
Hass said businesses should welcome the repeal of the current corporate income tax system and added that under this plan, Oregon would have lower corporate taxes than in Washington.
Ryan Deckert, president of the Oregon Business Association, said Hass is doing the right thing by starting a discussion, but negotiations can't take place until IP-28 is no longer in play.
"You've got to get IP-28 off the table and put in a box to have that happen," Deckert said.
Duncan Wyse, president of the Oregon Business Council, declined to comment on Hass' proposal. Instead, he said underlying cost drivers should be identified and eliminated within the current revenue system.
"What we would like is a full look at the state's fiscal challenges," Wyse said.
Instead of bargaining, business and labor groups are funding opposite sides of the impending IP-28 battle. Nike contributed $20,000 to the OBA's political action committee last month. And the PAC supporting IP-28 received $25,000 contributions each from SEIU Local 503 and the Oregon Education Association, both labor unions.
"Everybody is gearing up for a big fight at the ballot and they both think they're going to win," Burdick said.
She said there's not enough time during the short 35-day session to work on the proposal, and that other procedural issues stand in its way. Any bill changing taxes must originate in the House. Either a representative will need to propose Hass' plan, or a joint committee will need to be convened to propose it. Tax bills also require a three-fifths majority in each house to pass.
Hass said he won't rule out the possibility of trying to convene a special session to work on tax reform if the Legislature doesn't act. But as lawmakers continue to mull over the proposal, IP-28 keeps collecting signatures.
"I'm not delusional," Hass said. "I know the chances of getting there at the end of this session are very slim."

Markus Löning, Federal Government Commissioner for Human Rights Policy, issued the following statement in Berlin today (10 June):
The conviction of Liu Hui, the brother-in-law of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, has nothing to do with the rule of law. It is telling that embassy representatives from Western countries were not allowed to observe the trial. The charges brought against him are unfounded and suggest a vendetta against the whole family. The 11‑year prison sentence and two additional years of probation are totally unacceptable.
I call upon the Chinese authorities to quash this sentence and to release Liu Hui without delay. I also request the release of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo and the suspension of the house arrest of his wife Liu Xia.
In a suburb at Beijing, the sentence was handed down on Sunday, 9 June. In the trial of Liu Hui, the brother-in-law of the imprisoned Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo, on charges of fraud. Liu was sentenced to 11 years imprisonment and two additional years of probation – exactly the same sentence as his brother-in-law Liu Xiaobo.
As on the first day of the trial this April, Liu Xia, the wife of Liu Xiaobo and sister of Liu Hui, who has been under house arrest since 2010, was allowed to attend the trial.
Representatives of the EU Delegation and from the embassies of the United States, France, the Netherlands, Austria, the Czech Republic, Norway and Germany have tried in vain to attend the trial as observers but waited in front of the court building as a gesture of solidarity.

An expected crackdown by immigration authorities throughout the country on Sunday is spreading panic among undocumented immigrants in South Florida, with some families deciding to leave their homes or the state altogether, and advocates preparing safe sanctuary spaces in secret locations for those seeking to avoid being caught up in the raids.
“It feels like the apocalypse,” a spokesperson for a national immigrant advocacy group said. “But unfortunately you have to do what you have to do.”
One Florida group told the Miami Herald it is readying various private homes in advance of Sunday’s deportation efforts, as well as canvassing neighborhoods statewide and passing out fliers on immigrant rights in English, Spanish and Creole.
“We are holding info sessions, knocking on doors, talking to people in flea markets and restaurants; we’re staffing up our volunteers and lawyers, as well as providing an option for people who may feel threatened and unsafe in their homes,” said a spokesperson for the group, who requested anonymity to talk about the preparations.
Another advocacy group with a national profile said it is gathering supplies like sleeping bags and food to distribute to some of their employees’ homes and churches where families might decide to seek shelter.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are expected to target the homes of thousands of immigrant families with deportation orders Sunday in Miami, as well as Atlanta, Baltimore/Washington, D.C., Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles and San Diego, New Orleans, New York City, and San Francisco.
Several national and local organizations, as well as immigration lawyers and immigrant families, which agreed to speak with the Miami Herald, asked not to be identified because it is against the law to harbor undocumented immigrants. ICE officials declined to comment when the Herald asked about the agency’s stance on sheltering undocumented immigrants.
Some families at risk aren’t taking any chances. One undocumented immigrant who lives in South Miami-Dade with her two children told the Herald she’s leaving the state altogether before Sunday.
“I can’t stay here. I took days off of work and already left,” she said. “My kids and I are going to take a small vacation and I’m not sure when we’ll be back.”
Another family said they would be “off the grid” at the homes of friends and relatives, while others are preparing to move out of their homes altogether.
“Lots of people are on the fence. At the end of the day some people want to take a stance and stay in their homes,” one sanctuary organizer said. “But people are wrestling with that insecurity. Do they flee, or do they stay?”
Aside from offering families a safe haven, thousands of immigration attorneys nationwide are equipping their clients with information. On Thursday, the American Immigration Lawyers Association sent out a mass email with resources on “knowing your rights,” as well as links to “local raids response hotlines,” and ICE detention locators.
“[We have been] reaching out to [our] contacts and working with partners to prepare for a possible massive enforcement action,” Gregory Z. Chen, American Immigration Lawyers Association’s director of government relations, said in an email, which references a resources web page the group created. “These resources are the most comprehensive of any I have seen and include both national and local government as well as non-government and local community resources.”
The mass deportation efforts were originally slated to start late last month but were delayed after the Herald and other media revealed the agency’s plan to round up thousands of immigrant families.
Law enforcement sources told the Herald that Sunday’s operation is expected to be smaller than that previously planned, but that people with deportation orders will still be the target. They also said they would be asking other members of the household of an undocumented immigrant for their immigration documents.
Because South Florida doesn’t have family detention centers, ICE will utilize area hotels to hold families for a maximum of 24 hours before they are transferred to facilities out of state. Local jails may also be used for adults.
ICE officials told the Herald in an email that “the agency will not offer specific details related to enforcement operations.”
“As always, ICE prioritizes the arrest and removal of unlawfully present aliens who pose a threat to national security, public safety and border security.”

Re: Quit/Low Sound when recording live (2017-11-24 21:08 by kuzu #80446)
Thank you for using Sekaiju.
If you are talking about sound's quality is low, it is not MIDI's problem. MIDI treats only message, doesn't treat sound. As I wrote in FAQ's page, perhaps you are using or selecting cheap MIDI Out device like Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth. Please select "Setup" - "MIDI Device and Instrument..." and in MIDI Out device tab, select better MIDIOut device. If you have a good hardware synthesizer, install the device driver and select it.
If you are talking about key octave is low, please select notes and select "Edit" - "Modify Event's Key". You can shift key all at once. Or master course tune (master key shift) may be wrong. Please reset your MIDI module.
Re: Quiet Sound when recording live (2017-11-26 04:13 by lisyonky #80448)
Thank you so much for replying.
Actually the problem is that record comes out quiet/silent, you can hardly hear the melody recorded. It's 2 times more quiet than the original playing on the synthesizer. If you could advise how this could be adjusted, I would be soooo happy ))
Re: Quit/Low Sound when recording live (2017-11-26 10:10 by kuzu #80449)
1. The channel's volume(CC#7) or expression (CC#11) that you've inputted to is too low. please try set both of it higher value like 127. And Check your module's channel volume and expression are also set to high value.
2. The inputting velocity is too low. Please select inputted notes and from "Edit" - "Modify Event's Velocity.." and set inputted note event's velocity higher like 200% all at once.
3, Maybe selected channel's specific parameter such as EQ or LPF is wrong. Please reset your module.
4. Maybe overlapped of your synthesizer aound and Sekaiju's outputed sound. Please set your synthesizer's local mode off. Or please set Sekaiju's "Setup"-"MIDI Devices and instruments..." 's MIDI Thru tab 's In portXX off.

Having extensively used the script to convert midi to Sonic Pi format over the last fortnight, I thought it might be useful to detail some of the pitfalls and gotachs that occur when using it, so that others can have a less steep learning curve aobut how to use it effectively. The script works very well, but does have strict limits as to what it can handle. With judicious use of MusicScore to prepare the parts that you feed into the script I have found that it is possible to prepare quite complicated pieces so that they can be converted to Sonic Pi format.
The limitations of the script are as follows.
- It can only deal with parts which contain 1 voice. If your part has a structure containing 2 or more voices (you can see this by selecting the whole part and checking that it is all one (blue) colour. If you see green or (red) sections it contains 2 (or 3) voices and these must be separated into separate parts (which is fairly easy to do). which are then processed individually by the script. (NB you will occasionally see one or two red notes in UNSELECTED parts. These signify notes which are out of the normal note range specified for the instrument which is selected. E.G. F3 would be just below the range of a Violin which goes down to G3.
- Chords in parts are permissable provided that no note within the chord is tied to another note (you will see the tie symbol). If this is the case, then you need to either remove the tie (which means the music will not sound exactly as intended) or split the part concerned into 2 parts, with the tied note separated from the remainder of the chord (although played at the same time by the second part). The easiest way to do this is to create a new blank part (using the same instrument) by means of the instruments… command on the edit menu, and then copy and select the bar(s) containing the tied note chord combination to this second part. You can then delete the tied note from the first part and the chords from the second, thus separating them. (You would also delete notes that are directly duplicated in the second part so that they are not played twice).
- If you have already existing, or add, ornaments such as tr(ill) symbols to a part, then they will be ignored by the script. To get them to work, you have to export the part (or the whole score) again as a midi file and reimport it, when the trills and other ornaments will be replaced by a sequence of notes instead.
- If you have tempo changes attached to a note in one part, then they are automatically applied to every part at the same time point in the score. This only works for each part that is to be used with the conversion script if a note or rest STARTS at that particular instant of time in EVERY part. The problem usually occurs in a piece where a ralentando or slowing up is applied with sucessive changes in tempo often within the same bar or couple of bars usually at the end of a piece. A “normal” midi player can usually cope even if note changes are not aligned in every part during the ralentando. When you want to use the parts with the script you may have to simplify the ralentando to make sure that temp changes can occur properly in EVERY part. The usual gotch is when one or more parts has a complete bar’s rest during the ralentando. In this case, if the temp change occurs within this bar it is important to replace the bar rest symbol with a sequence of shorter rests e.g. one per beat, so that the tempo change can be effected properly for the part containing the bar’s rest.
- Piano or other keyboard parts can be problematical. These usually have two staves linked together (a treble and a bass clef part). You need first of all to split these two linked parts which you can do by creating two further Piano (for example) instrument pairs of staves, but delete the bass clef from the first and the treble clef from the second. You then copy the linked treble and bass parts in the original piano part repectively to the two new clefs you have created. However, if the two treble and bass parts are themselves quite complex with two voices per part, then you will have to further separate these into separate parts. I have converted several such parts which have required a total of 6 parts to replace the original linked treble and bass parts. As all these parts will finally be played together it doesn’t matter which part any notes end up in. It may look messy but it will still sound OK.
How do you know when things are not right? The most obvious is when the script stops with an error. usually is occurs with a ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException with array t1 often accompanied by warning messages printed on the output screen. This often occurs when you have not properly separated a part containing two voices. Seconodly the script may run, but within the black console window one or more warnings are printed before the script output. This usually occurs when you have chords with ties to notes outside the chord. If you have difficulty tracking down the cause of problems, you can resort to shortening (a copy) of the part a bar (or two or three bars) at a time and rerunning the script to try and find the location and cause of the problem.
I hope that the above comments will help you to get the best of the script. The more you practice with it the easier it will become. It is best to start converting some parts which are likely to meet the requirements. e.g. a solo wind instrument part until you get the hang of it. It is also a good idea to spend some time learning how to use MuseScore effectively. The commands you will need include:
- Using the instruments… command on the edit menu to create extra parts.
- Using the Parts… command on the File menu to split up the score into separate parts. I usually name them p1,p2,p3…etc rather than using the instrument names as it makes it much quick when you come to select the files for use in the script. You will still see the instrument names on the first page of the score.
- Using the Export Parts .. command on the File menu. This lets you export the parts in whatever format you require. Make sure you select .mid or .xml as required for Midi export or music xml export, using the file type selector. (Don’t use the compressed music xml format .mxl)
- Use short cut Home and End keys (on Mac Fn <- and Fn -> ) to move to the beginning or end page of the score. There is a good table of shortcuts here
- Selecting a part: click on an empty section of the first bar to select it. Go to end of the part (see 4 above). Shift click on the last bar in the part.
- Pasting a part to another track (part). having copied the part (5 above) click on the first note or rest in the first bar of the new part and then paste.
- Selecting one voice in a part containing two or more voices. Make sure the selection filter is visible (on the view menu). Make sure all four voices are ticked, then select the part concerned (as per 5). Now remove voice part ticks apart from the voice you wish to copy. e.g. untick 2,3,4 to just select voice 1. Now copy and paste to a new track(part) (as per 6). Note if you untick all voices in the part then it will be totally deslected and you will have to start again with all the voices ticked.
- Finishing off when you have copied voice 2 or 3 in 7 above. In this case, when you paste the copied voice 2 or 3 to a new stave you will in fact also have a voice 1 part there. to sort this find the voices… command on the edit menu and swap voices 1 with the part you have copied. Then you want to leave the new voice 1 and delete voices 2,3,4 from the new part. with the new part selected keep voice 1 ticked, untick voices 2,3,4 and press delete (back arrow on the Mac).
- Tempo markings. These are best added graphically using the tempo templates on the Palettes, which are selected from the View Menu. To apply a tempo, always use a crotchet=nn setting, as this is what Sonic Pi will recognise. Don’t select quaver or minim settings. To apply a tempo select the note from which you wish the tempo to apply, and in the Tempo palette double click the entry crotchet = 80. Then go to the text in the score and edit the 80 to whatever value is desired.
As mentioned in the previous 2 articles, the .xml files for each part should be exported to the data folder for the script. If you name the parts p1, p2, p3 ….etc then once you have copied the filename for the first part into the script you should just have to edit the p1 at the end of the filename to p2, p3…etc to process subsequent parts also remembering to alter the pn variable in the next line to match 1,2,3…..
As each part is processed, it can be copied and pasted into a text editor file (I use TextWrangler on my Mac) In my adjusted script, because the various arrays are named a1,b1 a2,b2… they can be run “as is”, in which case all parts will play with the default synth (:beep) At this stage I add whatever synths I want for each part using use_synth <name> I also add :amp and :pan settings for each part as required, remembering that if you have a lot of parts you may want to play them all at :amp settings less than 1. Sometimes I use the fx_level, :amp <value> do……end effect to group together a volume multiplier for several parts, I also put comment do….end blocks around groups of instruments so that I can selectively siwtch them off when adjusting the volume settings to get a good balance. You will find that the more you use the system the easier it becomes, and the end results I think are very gratifying.

Food Acidulants Market Top Trends, Key Players, Segments And Sub-Segments Analysis During 2020-2026
Food acidulants are widely used to increase the acidity of the food and is the substance that adds sour, tangy flavor to the products. The acidity present in them works as preservatives by killing the microbes and pathogens, making the food safe for consumption. The health benefits carried by acidulants is gaining widespread recognition, adding impetus to the adoption of these ingredients.
Get Sample Report + All Related Graphs & Charts (with COVID 19 Analysis) at: https://www.gminsights.com/request-sample/detail/3193
Listed below are some prominent trends bolstering food acidulants industry outlook:
1. Increasing demand for citric acid
Citric acid is among most abundantly used acid in the food and beverage sector. From adding sharp taste to cold drinks and sweets to facilitating optimum condition for forming jellies, jams and desserts, citric acid boasts of widening application scope. Moreover, growing demand for carbonated drinks such as sodas is driving the consumption for citric acids in beverage production.
The total consumption of soft drinks recorded in Germany in the year 2017 was 11,403 million liters. Citric acid complements the taste of most fruit and its flavorings in cold drinks along with increasing the beverage shelf life. A burgeoning demand for cold drinks worldwide is certainly accelerating food acidulants market outlook.
Citric acid is increasingly used in the production of sour candies and gummies in the form of a fine white powder to deliver a sour, tangy taste to the food product. The rising acidity and low pH conditions of the food or beverage when citric acid is added to it prevents fungal and bacterial growth, maintaining the pH at a suitable level to prevent food degradation, especially in canned foods.
2. Booming bakery and confectionary sector
Increasing demand for bakery and confectionary items globally is driving food acidulants market share. With the rising consumption of packaged food worldwide, the demand for frozen bakery products have also surged. According to American Bakers Association, the baking industry in the U.S. has an economic impact of over USD 153 billion annually.
Moreover, the U.S. government has levied strict regulations to ensure food safety across the country, transforming the bakery and confectionary industry dynamics. Reportedly, the total revenue generated by the confectionery market in Europe in 2019 is expected to be around USD 110.19 billion, suggesting considerable prospects for food acidulants market forecast.
The use of acidulants in the bakery assist in regulating acidity while acting as an antioxidant in the recipe. Additionally, presence of acidulants in confectionary enhances the impact of certain aromatic flavors owing to its volatility. The use of food acidulants such as malic acid is particularly preferred as a flavor enhancer in the preparation of confectionaries, desserts and other bakery items.
3. Expanding Asia Pacific food processing industry
While the demand for food acidulants is higher across developed countries like U.S., Canada, U.K. and France, countries like India and China are emerging as profitable revenue terrains for food acidulants industry players.
The Indian food industry is poised to witness commendable growth in the coming years owing to the rise in disposable income among people and changing consumer preferences towards packaged food and beverage items.
Stating reports, by 2020 the food processing industry in India is projected to be valued at USD 543 billion. The Ministry of Food Processing Industries, Government of India, is encouraging efforts to enhance investment in the sector, for instance the establishment of a USD 208.78 million worth super mega food and herbal park project in Uttar Pradesh. A flourishing processed food sector will drive food acidulants industry trends in the near future.
Place an Inquiry Before Buying: https://www.gminsights.com/inquiry-before-buying/3193
Rapid industrialization in China has increased the economic conditions across the nation. With rising disposable income and increasing levels of employment there has been an evident shift towards on-the-go packaged food products.
Increased consumption of packaged food products is steering the demand for food acidulants as they ensure preservation of nutritional quotient of the food product, hence magnifying food acidulants market size.

Nashville, TN (November 19, 2009) – Byron “Mr. Talkbox” Chambers is excited to announce that he will be joining the 2009 Winter Wonder Slam Tour as a member of TobyMac’s Diverse City Band. As he gears up to hit the road, “Ground Zero,” the first single from his forthcoming album, continues to make an impact at radio.
Chambers will be playing guitar and keyboard in the Diverse City Band, and will also step out to perform his “Mr. Talkbox” guest spots, as featured on TobyMac’s three albums.
“When I got the call from Toby to come out, I was so excited! He totally caught me off guard,” exclaims Chambers. “I realize that it is God who opens doors like this and I am stoked to be a part of such an amazing group of players and people!”
In its fifth year, the 20-city Winter Wonder Slam Tour begins today in University Park, PA and will head to the West Coast for 2009, as well as make its way to New York City, Pittsburgh, Louisville and more. GRAMMY Award winner TobyMac once again headlines his popular tour, which also features the talents of Relient K, B.Reith and Stephanie Smith. Continuing its tradition of giving, Winter Wonder Slam is teaming up with the U.S. Marine Corps to help with their Toys for Tots campaign.
Byron Chambers is set to take the world by storm with his “Mr. Talkbox” album in early 2010. “Ground Zero,” the first single from the project is garnering quite a bit of attention at radio and is being played on stations across the country. The single can be purchased online through iTunes.
Beginning his career singing and performing in a gospel group with his father, Byron Chambers soon caught the attention of key industry gatekeepers and garnered a spot playing keys and touring with *NSYNC. From there, he has had the opportunity to play with Britney Spears, Gloria Estefan and Jordan Knight, to name a few. Other highlights from Chambers’ bright career include: doing a guest appearance on O-Town’s “All For Love,” arranging songs for and touring with American Idol Finalist, Danny Gokey, writing and arranging Group 1 Crew’s #4 Billboard-charting song, “Movin’,” co-writing and performing on TobyMac’s gold-selling, GRAMMY nominated album Diverse City and doing a guest appearance on the gold-selling album, Portable Sounds, which garnered a Dove award, and a guest appearance on Martha Munizzi’s smash-hit song “Jesus Is The Best Thing,” which he also co-wrote. Additionally, Chambers has released two solo albums to the gospel market.

The Second Nuclear Age
See the Video
*America In the Second Nuclear Age Video
With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the breakup of the Soviet Union, many Americans gave a deep sigh of relief and pronounced the nuclear threat at an end.
The rise of Asian military power heralds the beginning of a second nuclear age as different from the first, that of the Cold War, as that contest was from World War II.
The world that the West created is being challenged -- not just in military ways but in cultural and philosophical terms as well. Just as Asia began asserting itself economically in the 1960s and 1970s, it now does so militarily, backed by arms that would make Western interference in Asia far more treacherous and costly -- even in peacetime -- than ever before.
Western military power has always been about more than just winning battles against the weaker forces of non-Europeans. It has been a tool for shaping the world along Western lines, a symbol of general supremacy in commerce and technology that separated the developed from the undeveloped.
Those who actively opposed the West's vision of the future would inevitably lose, and the West in the early 1990s believed that no one would dare try.
But for all the spectacular displays of American armaments in the Persian Gulf war and the former Yugoslavia, other nations have indeed contested the point -- not by trying to close the arms gap but by exploiting disruptive technologies that thwart America's advantages and exploit the Achilles' heel of its military position in Asia.
The dawning of a second nuclear age overturns fundamental strategic assumptions about both the techno-military balance and preserving Western dominance in other areas. For example, the Western agenda today is defined almost exclusively in economic terms. Throughout the 1990s, the echo of "It's the economy, stupid" has had as much influence on foreign as on domestic policy.
The integration of the Asian giants into a Western-led economic system has been seen as the era's central task. When should China be allowed into the World Trade Organization? How can India be made to loosen restrictions on foreign investment? How can the next financial crisis be prevented?
These questions remain relevant, but the presumption that the West can still set the agenda and determine which hoops Asia must jump through to join the world system is now in serious doubt.
Ballistic missiles carrying conventional warheads or weapons of mass destruction (WMD), along with other cutting-edge technologies, are now within reach of as many as ten Asian nations from Israel to North Korea -- a major shift in the world's balance of power.
From a vantage point of more than 12 years after these tectonic shifts in geopolitics, we can see that the Nuclear Age, with new and growing dangers, is still with us. The first half-century of the Nuclear Age was marked by a mad arms race between the United States and the former Soviet Union that resulted in the development and deployment of tens of thousands of nuclear weapons capable of destroying civilization and most life on Earth.
While the nuclear standoff between the US and former USSR is no longer the extraordinary danger it was, new nuclear dangers have arisen that have led many astute observers to the conclusion that we have entered a second Nuclear Age. Among these new dangers are:
* the nuclear standoff between nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan, two countries that have more than a fifty-year history of warfare and serious tensions;
* the partial breakdown of command and control systems that protect nuclear weapons and weapons-grade nuclear materials in the former Soviet countries, giving rise to the increased possibility that these weapons and materials could fall into the hands of other countries and terrorist organizations;
* the pursuit of nuclear weapons programs and the development of nuclear arsenals by countries, such as North Korea and Iran, that feel threatened by the Bush administration’s policy of preemptive war;
* the impetus that Israel’s nuclear arsenal gives to other countries in the Middle East to develop their own nuclear arsenals;
* the provocative policies of the Bush administration to pursue smaller, more usable nuclear weapons and those with a specific use in warfare such as the so-called “bunker busters,” blurring the distinction between conventional and nuclear arms; and
* the possibility that the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which has already lost its first member, North Korea, could fall apart due to the failure of the nuclear weapons states to fulfill their obligations under Article VI of the Treaty to engage in good faith efforts to achieve nuclear disarmament.
The United States, as the world’s sole surviving superpower, has had the opportunity to lead the world toward a nuclear weapons free future. It is an opportunity that our country has largely rejected, and has done so at its own peril. Political leaders in the United States have yet to grasp that nuclear weapons make us less secure rather than more so, and their policies have reflected this failure to comprehend the dangers of the second Nuclear Age.
In the year 2000, the parties to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, including the United States, agreed to 13 Practical Steps for Nuclear Disarmament. These included “[a]n unequivocal undertaking by the nuclear-weapon states to accomplish the total elimination of their nuclear arsenals,” along with specific steps such as ratification and entry into force of the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT), preserving and strengthening the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty, and applying the principle of irreversibility to nuclear disarmament.
In each of these areas the United States, under the Bush administration, has led in the opposite direction. The administration’s policies have sent a message to the world that the world’s strongest military power finds nuclear weapons useful for its national security and plans to maintain its nuclear arsenal for the indefinite future. The Bush administration has opposed ratification of the CTBT and has withdrawn from the ABM Treaty. Its approach to nuclear disarmament has been to employ maximum flexibility and make reductions fully reversible.
The US pact with Russia, the Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty (SORT), signed by Presidents Bush and Putin in May 2002, calls for reductions in deployed strategic nuclear weapons to between 1,700 and 2,200 weapons on each side by the year 2012. The treaty has no timetable other than the final date to achieve these reductions, and there is no requirement to make these reductions irreversible.
The Bush administration has already announced that it plans to put the weapons it takes off active deployment status into storage ready for redeployment on short notice. Thus, these weapons will be put into storage. The Russians are likely to follow suit, creating more opportunity for the stored nuclear weapons in both countries to fall into the hands of terrorists. In the meantime, the US and Russia are each maintaining over 2,000 nuclear weapons on hair-trigger alert, subject to being launched accidentally.
In addition, the Bush administration pursued an illegal preventive war against Iraq because of its purported, but never found, weapons of mass destruction. This action sent a message to North Korea, Iran and other states that if they want to be more secure from US attack, they had better develop nuclear forces to deter the US.
North Korea has repeatedly made a simple request of the US. They have asked for security assurances from the US that they will not be attacked. This is not unreasonable considering that the Korean War has never officially ended, that the US maintains some 40,000 troops near the Demilitarized Zone that separates the two Koreas, that the US keeps nuclear-armed submarines in the waters off the Korean Peninsula, and that the Bush administration has pursued a doctrine of preemption.
In return for a Non-Aggression Pact from the US, the North Koreans have indicated that they would give up their nuclear weapons program and rejoin the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
It would be a great shame if Americans only awakened to the dangers of the second Nuclear Age with the detonation of one or more nuclear weapons somewhere in the world. Given the increased threats associated with terrorism and the dangers that nuclear weapons or bomb-grade nuclear materials could fall into the hands of terrorists, it is not beyond the realm of possibility that the next detonation of a nuclear weapon or other weapon of mass destruction could take place in a city in the United States.
It is of critical importance that Americans be made aware of these dangers and reverse our policies before we are confronted by such tragedy.

During the day I am too busy to do ANYTHING-even with our nanny! So the other night I just felt like having some wine and making some pickles...that turned into 5 jars of pickles and blanching tomatoes to freeze. I texted my friend about what I was doing because it's our joke that she would be the one doing stuff like this-not me!
I experimented with all kinds of pickles! They should be ready at the end of August.
I hope these will work (I saw it on YouTube:))
First you boil them for about 10 minutes...with the cover on.
Then when they are tender you cut the tops off and take out the insides.
I sauteed that with some onion, garlic, and olive oil. After that mixture was cooked I added bread crumbs, cheese, salt and pepper, dill and basil (you can add whatever herbs you want).
It does start to get overwhelming, but I have learned to freeze all our zucchini so hopefully we will have fresh veggies this winter!
Can't wait to learn more!

Put away the hatchets, BuzzFeed book reviewers. The Internet's foremost listicle-maker will now be taking its 'No Haters' policy over to its rising books section, as BuzzFeed's new books editor said today that he will only accept warm and cuddly book reviews. It's a sad day for train wreck-loving, Twitter-fight sparring, #spatwatch-following people across the web.
"If you can’t say something nice, don't say nothing at all," BuzzFeed's first books editor Isaac Fitzgerald told Poynter this morning in explaining why the section would eschew negative reviews, citing the "Bambi Rule" from the old Disney movie. "Why waste breath talking smack about something?" he explained. "You see it in so many old media-type places, the scathing takedown rip."
"Why?" he asks, but the answer is pretty clear — they're fun! Even if they're less common than they used to be, a good hatchet job is like a 10-car pileup; readers can't help but watch as a reviewer shreds into a book for its author's weak argument, lazy intellectualism, or shoddy transcribing.

In April 2019, at the Steering Committee meeting of the UIA Commission on the UN Sustainable Development Goals in Dhaka, Bangladesh, the International Union of Architects adopted the Dhaka Declaration on the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The Dhaka Declaration encourages architects and all other professionals to take action in their own practices.
The Dhaka Declaration
“Over the last few decades, tremendous progress has been made in improving the health, education, and well-being of people around the world. However, this development has been accompanied by environmental damage, climate change, and resource depletion, as well as social and cultural challenges. In 2015, the nations of the world came together and laid out the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals to be achieved by 2030.
Architecture has an impact on each of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, and architects can help the goals to be achieved. As architects, we have the responsibility to contribute to the built environment and make choices that change the world for the better—through better buildings, settlements, landscape architecture and urban planning.
We call on architects worldwide to take action in their own practice, and as civic leaders, to shape their work and their words to help achieve these goals."
Architects can seek to build in ways that help to eradicate poverty, by designing low-cost housing and institutional spaces that are safe, healthy, and resilient.
Architects can, through planning, landscape, and building design, protect ecosystems and preserve areas for food production.
Good Health and Well-Being
Architects can design to reduce exposure to communicable diseases and pollution, provide daylight, good acoustics and air quality, and promote healthy levels of activity.
Architects can design educational facilities that are affordable and inclusive.
Architects can help shape buildings, settlements and urban areas to include all persons, regardless of gender, and can work to promote gender equality in the design and construction industry.
Clean Water and Sanitation
Architects can design in ways to avoid water waste or excessive runoff, and to reduce the encroachment of saltwater on freshwater aquifers and bodies.
Affordable and Clean Energy
Architects can incorporate renewable energy production in buildings and settlements designed for low energy use by adapting to local geographic, climatic and cultural conditions.
Decent Work and Economic Growth
Architects can specify building materials produced in safe and clean environments, and work to ensure fair and safe conditions in construction and demolition processes.
Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Architects can seek to use services, products and systems that pollute less, use less energy, produce less waste, and provide solutions that are safe, healthy and affordable.
Architects can promote design and planning approaches that are socially responsible, inclusive, and accommodate the needs of all people.
Sustainable Cities and Communities
Architects can promote measures that help to make cities more inclusive, safer and more resilient, and adaptive to anticipated climate change, with special attention to vulnerable segments of society.
Responsible Consumption and Production
Architects can seek to design for durability and for sustainable life cycles in building components and materials, favouring renovation and the use of recycled materials.
Architects can reduce climate-changing emissions associated with the construction and operation of the buildings, and make their designs adaptable to anticipated changes in climate.
Life Below Water
Architects can exercise special care for buildings and settlements in coastal regions and in fragile aquatic ecosystems, and ensure that runoff and construction waste does not lead to water pollution.
Life on Land
Architects can promote urban development that minimizes sprawl, reduces threats to biodiverse habitats, and can integrate landscapes that provide habitat and connect with larger ecosystems.
Peace, Justice and Strong Institution
Architects can design in ways that embody our higher values, can involve the public, promote inclusion, and advocate for honest governance in practice.
Partnerships for the Goals
Architects can join with other professions, with civic institutions, and with fellow citizens, to advance the goals. Working together we can achieve a prosperous and sustainable future.

Maine Coon cats are a popular breed known for their intelligence, loyalty, and playfulness. They are also one of the largest domestic cats, with some male Maine Coons reaching up to over 120 cm when measured from head to tip of tail! With their long, luxurious coats and gentle demeanor, Maine Coon cats are a great addition to any family. With the proper Maine Coon care, this cat can be a loyal and loving companion for many years.
It is vital to ensure that your cat is getting the proper nutrition, is being groomed regularly, and is provided with plenty of exercise and socialization. With the proper care and attention, Maine Coons can live long and healthy lives. If you are a Maine Coon owner or thinking about adopting a Maine Coon, or you are searching for Maine Coon kittens for sale, here is the essential Maine Coon care guide.
Nutrition and Diet Care of Maine coon
The first and most crucial element of Maine Coon cat care is balanced Mane Coon food. A proper diet is very important because Maine Coon cats love to eat and become lazy when they eat much. This means they risk becoming obese, especially when their owners do not control their food intake. Being overweight might lead to severe health conditions in the future. Kittens can’t intake their food properly, so you should know how to feed kittens?
Maine Coon cats take 4 years to reach their top weight, which is about 11 kilos for male ones. Take your cat to the vet’s office when they exceed this weight. But there were a few giant Maine Coon cats in history that reached over 20 kg.
Dry food is usually the best choice, as wet food can often contain too much fat. Ensuring your cat has access to fresh, clean water is also vital. It would be best if you took the time to read the labels and choose the best option for your cat.
Grooming and Maine Coon fur care
Maine Coon cats have thick, luxurious coats that require regular grooming. Hence another element of caring for a Maine Coon cat is to preserve the cat’s fur. Brushing your cat at least thrice a week is recommended, as this will help remove any dirt, debris, and dead hair.
You can buy special brushes for the long hair of cats and use them. If you can do it daily for 5 minutes, then all the better. Beyond making them look good, brushing your cat’s hair will also avoid gastric conditions brought about by ingesting hairballs during preening.
Another way to keep hairballs from accumulating is to give your Maine Coon malt for cats and omega-3-rich foods, and you will see improvements in the condition of the fur.
Bathing a Maine Coon cat
Another essential part of Maine Coon grooming routine is bathing, which will help keep their fur soft and shiny. Maine Coons are a naturally pure breed, so they don’t need to be bathed very often. In fact, over-bathing can strip Maine Coon’s fur of its natural oils, which can lead to dry, itchy skin and make its fur brittle.
It is important to use a mild and hypoallergenic shampoo when bathing your cat that is specifically formulated for cats. Make sure the water is lukewarm and not too hot, and use your hands to gently massage the shampoo into their fur. Be sure to rinse out all of the soap, and then use a rubber brush to remove any tangles. Finally, use a towel to dry your Maine Coon and brush them out with a soft brush.
Remember that Maine Coons are very sensitive to temperature changes, so keep the room warm while they are being bathed. Also, it’s best to have someone help you, as Maine Coons can be pretty wiggly and a bit difficult to handle.
Brushing Maine Coon teeth
Brushing your Maine Coon’s teeth is an integral part of their overall health care. Regular brushing prevents tooth decay and potential dental problems by removing food residue. It is best to start brushing your Maine Coon’s teeth from a young age, as this will make the process easier in the long run. You can purchase a toothbrush and toothpaste specifically designed for cats from your local pet store.
Use a soft-bristled brush, and be sure to brush gently. Start by brushing a few teeth at a time and gradually add more as your Maine Coon gets used to the process. Always reward your Maine Coon with a treat after brushing to reinforce positive behavior. If your Maine Coon is reluctant to have its teeth brushed, you can try using a finger brush or dental wipe instead.
Clipping Maine Coon’s claws
When clipping Maine Coon’s claws, it is essential to be gentle and take your time. You will need a pair of cat claw clippers, a styptic powder, and a treat for your cat. Before you start, make sure your Maine Coon is comfortable and relaxed. Gently pick up one of their paws and press lightly on the top of the toe to extend the claw.
Clip the very tip of the claw, taking care not to cut the pink area at the base (the quick). If you accidentally cut the quick, use the styptic powder to stop bleeding. After you are finished, reward your Maine Coon with a treat.
Exercises for Maine Coon cats
Maine Coon cats are very active and need plenty of exercises to stay healthy and happy. Providing your cat with plenty of Maine Coon toys and scratching posts will help keep them entertained and active. You should also take your cat for regular walks outside so they can get some fresh air and explore the outdoors. Here are some exercises I give to my beautiful Maine Coon cats:
Socialization of Maine Coon
Maine Coon cats are very social animals and need plenty of interaction with their owners to thrive. They enjoy playing games, having human company, and interacting with other pets. As with all cats, it is essential to socialize them early in life. Spending time playing with your cat and giving them plenty of attention is important.
This can be done by providing a safe and comfortable environment where they can interact with family and other animals. You should introduce them to different people, animals, and noises gradually so they can become familiar and comfortable with them.
It is also important to provide your Maine Coon with plenty of stimulation, such as toys, scratching posts, and interactive play to help them stay mentally and physically active.
Maine Coon’s Health Care
Maine Coon cats should visit the vet at least twice a year for a check-up, but if you notice any symptoms of possible disease, then you should come more often. This is important to ensure that your cat is healthy and up to date on all of their vaccinations. It is also essential to watch for any changes in your cat’s behavior or appearance, as this could indicate a health issue. Whenever you feel any changes seek veterinary help as soon as possible.
You can have your feline friend’s health monitored and vaccinated at the vet’s office. It is also essential to have your pet neutered at the vet. The pet doctor will also inform you of the vaccination schedule, so you know when to bring in your cat. You may also ask about the nutritional needs of your Maine Coon at the clinic and learn to identify signs of nutritional deficiency.
Although the Maine Coons are a healthy breed like all breeds, it is susceptible to a range of genetic health issues and disorders like Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM), hip dysplasia, polycystic kidney disease, spinal muscular atrophy ( degeneration of the spinal cord and atrophy of the muscles in the hind limbs) and periodontal disease or stomatitis.
Maine Coon allergies are another health concerns that require attention and care to ensure their well-being and happiness. So regular veterinary visit helps early detection of such health concerns. It is also vital to keep over-the-counter emergency medicine.
Maine coon kitten care vs. looking after Maine Coon cats
Maine Coon kittens require much attention and need to be socialized with other cats and humans. They should be kept indoors and provided with a safe and secure environment.
Maine Coon cats are usually more independent and can handle changes in their environment better than kittens. They should still be provided with a safe and secure environment, but they can adjust to new situations more quickly. They may need less attention than kittens but should still be provided with regular playtime and socialization.
Enjoying with the beautiful feline
If you are looking for an excellent pet for you and your family, the Maine Coon is a great choice. It likes to be independent and, at the same, family-oriented. They love to play and also be at the center of attention. They love having some commotion around them, but they do not like being stroked and touched too much.
Moreover, they also get along with other animals and will be okay living in an apartment because it is not a very active cat breed. However, they would appreciate living in a small garden where they can occasionally hunt.
Maine Coon cats are a great addition to your home. Compared to other cat breeds, they are not as needy or require as much care, so long as you precisely control what they eat. Beyond that, they are much like other cats who should visit the vet regularly and be brushed often. In return, you can enjoy their cuddles and purrs reserved for their beloved humans.

GEC's Reltec buy is a $2bn `bargain'
by Paul Dempsey
More Articles of Interest
will continue buying companies to build its Marconi Communications division after spending $2.1bn last week on Reltec, a US networking manufacturer.
The acquisition strategy will concentrate on companies in three areas, according to Dudley Sheffer, Reltec president and CEO: evolving platforms such as wavelength division multiplexing; technologies for upgrades based around digital subscriber line technology; and data networking based on asynchronous transfer mode and Internet protocol standards.
Sheffer said: "Marconi's view - and ours as well - is that this is not the end. There are both opportunities and resources available for us to further extend this platform."
The one acquisition area that GEC has ruled out is switching because, according to Sheffer, "it is the most mature portion of the marketplace".
Lord Simpson, GEC chief executive, has also suggested that most of his company's shopping will take place in the US.
The Reltec deal has been based on exploiting the US company's competence in the access sector of the telecoms market - its products include digital loop carriers and other networking items to overcome constraints on capacity.
This will be married to GEC's existing transmission businesses, including its strong position in synchronous digital hierarchy technology, with very little overlap between the two groups.
Sheffer said: "One of the things we have started to do is to think about putting these [competences] together in a more elegantly designed common system."
GEC has also been looking for an acquisition that would put the company more on a par in size with competitors such as Lucent Technologies and Nortel.
GEC and Reltec are also looking to expand their international reach. GEC's ambitions to break the US telecoms market are already well known. Reltec is looking to build on a position that sees it make only 16% of its sales outside North America.
US analysts believe that GEC has bought well. The $2.1bn price tag - $29.50 a share in cash - may represent a 36% premium on Reltec's New York valuation before the deal was announced, but it is also at only a marginal premium to the company's value at flotation in March 1998.

Bolden, Tonya. 2004. WAKE UP OUR SOULS: A CELEBRATION OF BLACK AMERICAN ARTISTS. New York: Harry N. Abrams. ISBN 0810945274
This work is a visually stunning survey of the history of African American artists in the United States. It covers from the
late 18th century to the late 20 the century. Most painters are covered, but some attention to sculptor, photographers and
other visual artists is included as well. Three main chapters include color reproductions of 45 works with photographs of
artists. Detailed captions provide biographical information. While older readers may get more out of the text, the wonderful
reproductions are so great they may stimulate the imagination of old and young alike. The end information includes a glossary,
a selected bibliography, a reading list and an index. Artists include the very prominent such as Gordon Parks, Romare Bearden
and lesser known public figures.
Highlights of this book include eclectic artists as varied as quilt makers, photographers, and outsider artists all get
at least some billing in this book. The result may be this work creates curiosity and encouragement to would be artists who
assume artistic merit must fit a certain hide bound template.

BONN — As the open working group on the new sustainable development goals is nearing its last session in mid-July, the European Commission adopted a communication on June 2, outlining Europe’s priorities for the post-2015 development agenda. This work is part of the European Union’s effort to make a substantive contribution in shaping the new goals, an endeavor that may not get too far. Differences of opinion among European nations and disagreements over priorities or even what should be included are already getting in the way of a strong unified position.
The European Union is the world’s largest donor to international development cooperation. It is also the single-largest financial contributor to the UN as a bloc, providing 35 percent of the regular budget and half of all voluntary contributions to UN funds and programs. Yet Europe struggles to turn its financial might into political leverage in multilateral forums.
As Simon Koppers, head of the United Nations Division at the German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development, said: “Generally, the EU punches below its weight. In terms of economic weight or ODA [official development assistance] or contributions to the UN, the EU should be more influential.”
The most recent communication and the documents preceding it focused on the post-2015 development agenda may be taken as a sign of Europe’s ambition to assert itself as a major player, not just a payer, in multilateral development. Titled “A Decent Life for All: From Vision to Collective Action,” the document follows up on a communication from February 2013 as well as a conclusion adopted by the Council of Ministers in June 2013, meant to contribute to Europe’s position in international negotiations. Which member states support this position and what role they will play in international negotiations is, however, far from clear.
Representing 28 countries as well as various institutions, the European Union often struggles to speak in one voice in multiparty negotiations. Typically, it strives to establish a joint position through coordination among member states. Development cooperation, environmental affairs and foreign policy (of which development is also an official part) are all policy areas in which the Union has additional legitimacy — and therefore urgency — in seeking a unified stance.
Finding common ground among 28 countries, however, is cumbersome. More than 1,300 coordination meetings take place every year — in New York alone. This makes the process lengthy and inflexible: the communication in June, for example, came out the same day as a list of proposed goals were published by the UN’s working group on the sustainable development goals. Europe’s communication may be too late to contribute meaningfully to a European position or to serve as a basis for negotiation but rather reflects and endorses negotiation processes that have already taken place.
This is not the first time the European Union acted too slowly in preparing for development conferences: it happened in Doha in 2008 and at the Busan forum in 2011 in Korea.
Joint positions are only worth as much as the support they receive from member states. Bypassing a collective European viewpoint may allow an individual country to pursue a more ambitious agenda than the lowest common denominator agreed on within the Union, enabling the country to act faster and more flexibly or to assert divergent interests.
Malta has already criticized the inclusion of reproductive rights among the priorities outlined in the June communication. Ireland, Poland and Spain, all members with restrictions on abortion, might feel similarly slighted.
Once a unified standpoint is reached, how can Europe contribute to the sustainable development agenda? The EU holds observer status and even membership in several UN entities and can present common positions in the General Assembly. But the bulk of the important work on the post-2015 goals will likely come from its working group, a forum in which the European Union as a bloc is not represented.
More important, in the working group’s voting blocs, all European members share seats with non-EU states. France and Germany are paired with Switzerland; Britain and the Netherlands are doubled up with Australia; and Italy and Spain are coupled with Turkey. Their ability to find a common European position will be limited by their need to coordinate with the other members of their voting groups.
The European Union is also facing additional challenges speaking with one voice in international development. One specific challenge is financial: while the June communication restated the EU’s commitment to reach its official development assistance goal of 0.7 percent by 2015, most members are far off track. Since the economic crisis, Spain’s contributions, for example, have dwindled from 0.46 percent to 0.17 percent of gross national income. In light of lasting economic crises and austerity programs, this situation is unlikely to change soon for many countries. Similarly, the Union’s budget for 2014-2020 does not provide for any increases in its development cooperation programs.
The European Union must also deal with the rise of euroskepticism and the Ukrainian conflict along its eastern border. These issues are most likely to make Europe more inward looking and less focused on its role as a global actor. The far-right parties — which proved their popularity in the EU elections in May — are critical of a strong foreign policy infringing on member states’ sovereignty, which might further aggravate European Union coordination in multilateral negotiations.
Fragmentation is one of the most common criticisms lobbed against the UN. It limits the effectiveness of the organization, the argument goes, particularly in development work. The European Union could ideally overcome some of the fragmentation, at least in development agendas, if its members worked together. The months ahead will show whether this potential can be realized.
