The image features a religious icon, likely of the Virgin Mary and the Christ Child, set within a dark wooden frame. The icon is adorned with intricate silver detailing and a blue headpiece, with the child nestled against the mother's shoulder. The background is a rich, ornate pattern, possibly a wall or paneling, with a dark blue banner at the top containing white text that reads, "Once you see Cookie Monster, you can't unsee it." The text is a humorous juxtaposition, suggesting that the iconic image of the Cookie Monster is so memorable that it becomes impossible to unsee.

Spreadsheets have one good location in a process: at the top.
They can be directly used as database clients, to good effect.
The Macro-laden sheets I passed around mainly had a "refresh" button, so they didn't have to know to right-click on the pivot table report and pick "refresh" from the database.
On rare occasions, they could also be used to put something into a database, as long as it was manually confirmed for every record.
They can have huge roles in NON-automated updates.

A imagem mostra um cão de pelagem clara, possivelmente um Pinscher, sentado em uma cama coberta por uma manta vermelha e uma manta com estampa floral. O cão tem olhos grandes e expressivos, com as orelhas eretas e atentas. Ele está olhando para a câmera com uma expressão curiosa. A parede ao fundo é de cor clara, com um interruptor de luz e uma tomada elétrica visíveis. A composição da imagem destaca o cão, que parece estar em um ambiente doméstico, possivelmente em um quarto.

Nach der Speichelleckerei auf dem NATO-Gipfel dachten ja viele, dass Obszönitäten in Sachen Trump kaum noch zu überbieten seien. Benjamin Netanjahu hat den Gegenbeweis angetreten. Er hat den vorläufigen Jahrhundertrekord der politischen Pornografie aufgestellt – den “Deep Throat” völkerrechtswidriger Vertreibung von Menschen.
Man muss sich die Tatsachen einmal vergegenwärtigen: Ein mit internationalem Haftbefehl vom internationalen Gerichtshof in Den Haag verfolgter Kriegsverbrecher schlägt einen Verfassungsbrecher, Wiederholungstäter sexueller Übergriffe auf Frauen, Begnadiger von Terroristen gegen die US-Verfassung und rechtswidrigen Deportierer von Migranten ohne Gerichtsurteil und unter Bruch des Verfassungsrechts für den Friedensnobelpreis vor.
Eine Dreistigkeit besonderer Güte
Einem Land wie Norwegen und einem Nobelpreiskommittee, die sich noch ganz anders als Deutschland auf die Einhaltung internationalen Rechts und des internationalen Gerichtshofs stützt. Welche Chuzpe! Um dann im Anschluss daran einem gebauchpinselten Trump unter den Augen der Öffentichkeit und ohne dessen Widerspruch unterzujubeln, dass Israel keine Selbstverwaltung der Palästinensern in einem eigenen Staat mehr dulden möchte. Zwei-Staaten-Lösung adé also – mal so nebenbei und Trump ist eh zu sehr von Eitelkeit geblendet, um direkt zu kontern, selbst wenn er es gewollt oder auch nur bemerkt hätte.
Wo bleibt die Reaktion Europas?
Bei allen “Dönekes” und Geschichten um die rechtsextremistischen Präsidenten der USA und Israels: Was ist eigentlich die Reaktion der EU-Ratspräsidentin auf diese skandalösen und verabscheuungswürdigen Selbstinszenierungen dieser beiden gewaltaffinen Böcke? Wäre nicht eine EU-Ratspräsidentin von der Leyen, wenn sie den Mumm hätte, prädestiniert, den beiden Rechtsbeugern zu widersprechen und moralisch heimzuleuchten und damit die EU auch international merkbar zu positionieren? Geht das wirklich nur in Sachen Ukraine-Krieg und Waffenlieferungen? Wer kann schweigen, wenn die Geiseln der Hamas immer noch nicht frei sind und stattdessen Frauen und Kinder im Gazastreifen täglich Opfer des Krieges zwischen Israel und der Hamas werden? Tun Sie was, Frau EU!

The icon is adorned with intricate silver detailing and a richly patterned background. The central figures are depicted in a traditional style, with the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child close to her chest. The icon's surface is highly reflective, suggesting a metallic finish. The text at the top of the image reads, "Once you see Cookie Monster, you can't unsee it." This text is juxtaposed with the icon, creating a humorous contrast between the sacred imagery and the reference to the popular children's character.
