Qualification Model
Software Users
I. General
The imk automotive GmbH (hereinafter referred to as "imk") performs exclusively on the basis of these General Terms and Conditions of Business. Divergent agreements as well as customer's terms and conditions shall only apply in the event that imk has explicitly acknowledged them in writing.
II. Scope of Supplies and Services
(1) The scope of supplies and services shall be governed by the mutual written agreements. If no such agreement exists, the scope of supplies and services shall be governed by the imk order confirmation or, should such confirmation not be issued, by the written customer order.
(2) Any modifications and supplementations must be in writing to come into effect. Should no written agreement on this matter exist, any and all modifications and supplementations resulting from operations of imk in the area of software development shall change the scope of supplies and services, given that such modifications and supplementations result in an improvement of the supplies and services originally ordered by the customer.
(3) Any and all drawings and other documents relating to offers shall be immediately returned if the respective order is not placed. Furthermore, the contractual parties shall refrain from disclosing any documents provided to them within the scope of the contractual relationship to third parties without the approval of the respective other contractual party, unless such third parties were coincidentally assigned with the provision of supplies or services.
(4) As far as the specified scope of supplies and services comprises software products, the customer shall be granted a non-exclusive and non-assignable right of utilisation in the absence of a written agreement to the contrary. The copyright for such software as well as for any and all documents related thereto, particularly with regard to documentation, shall remain with imk.
III. Performance
As far as possible, the contractually agreed services are to be carried out on the imk-owned production site. If, within the scope of contractual obligations, imk personnel are engaged at a customer's site, there is no authority granted to the customer to give directions or instructions to the personnel.
IV. Price
If an agreed fixed price includes software development work, imk may require a price adjustment, when a change or an extension occurs within the scope of services in accordance to Section II (2).
V. Reservation of Title
All supplied goods shall remain the ownership of imk until the settlement of all claims due to imk arising out of the business relationship on the account of the customer. No pledging or transfer by way of security is permissible. With regard to cases of sale, which are permissible in the ordinary course of business, the customer shall thereby transfer his claims for settlement of the purchasing price or claims for compensation for work brought forward against his respective purchasers to imk. Should the value of all security interests exceed the value of the secured claims on behalf of imk by more than 25%, imk shall release a respective share of the security interests upon request by the customer.
VI. Terms of Payment
All prices are net prices in Euro exclusive value added tax (VAT). Unless otherwise indicated, the invoice total is due to be paid within 10 days on receipt of the invoice without deduction. Payments become effective only when the amount is definitely disposable on any bank account of the imk automotive GmbH.
VII. Delivery Periods for Supplies and Services
(1) The compliance with periods by imk shall be subjected to the gratuitous provision of all documents and devices required for the performance of the specified supplies and services by the customer. As far as this is required for the attainment of the desired performance, the customer shall be obliged to provide imk with respective information.
(2) Should imk be impeded in the performance of the specified supplies and services due to the customer's failure of cooperation, particularly as regards any failure to furnish documents, information, devices, etc., to imk in time, any specified periods shall be prolonged accordingly. The same shall apply to any further events for which neither imk nor its sub-suppliers can be held responsible. imk shall be obliged to inform the customer of such events.
VIII. Mounting Services
(1) Should mounting services be embedded in the scope of supplies and deliveries contracted with imk, the customer shall, at his own costs, provide the required auxiliary personnel as well as all required objects, materials and operating resources. Furthermore, the customer shall provide for the possibility of storing machine components, materials and tools on the mounting site.
(2) Prior to the commencement of the mounting works, the customer shall furnish imk with the required information on the locations of concealed current, gas, water and similar line routings as well as with the required static data without prior request.
(3) Should the erection, mounting or commissioning process be delayed on the grounds of circumstances attributable to the customer, the customer shall bear the costs for waiting times and additional accrued journey expenditures on behalf of imk personnel within a reasonable scope.
(4) imk shall not be held liable for the behaviour of its personnel or vicarious agents/servants if such behaviour does not stand in connection with the performance of the contractually specified supplies and services. Liability by imk is particularly excluded for any works carried out by such personnel or vicarious agents/servants on account of the customer.
IX. Right of Termination
Should the customer cause delays in required cooperation actions, without the implementation of which imk cannot fulfil its contractual performance, or delays in payments, and such actions or payments are not made up for within a reasonable period of grace granted by imk under the threat of contractual termination, imk shall be entitled to terminate the contract with immediate effect. In the case of such termination, the customer shall be obliged to pay the specified compensation to imk reduced by any saved expenditures.
X. Acceptance, Passing of Risks
(1) Upon request by imk, an acceptance procedure regarding the specified supplies or services shall be carried out on the basis of a written acceptance protocol. Individual acceptance procedures may be requested for independent partial supplies or services. Each acceptance causes the transferal of risks for the accepted (partial) supplies and services.
(2) Should no acceptance procedure be carried out on the basis of a written acceptance protocol, the risks for the supplies and services delivered or rendered by imk shall be transferred to the customer upon his initial utilisation of the supplies and services delivered or rendered by imk.
XI. Warranty
(1) imk guarantees that the result of the performance will meet the recognised current rules of technology at the time when the contract is concluded. If imk's delivery or service is faulty, then imk's warranty is limited to subsequent improvement. If the rectification of defects within an appropriate period has failed, the customer is entitled alternatively to claim the reduction of the agreed remuneration or the rescission of the contract.
(2) The imk warranty assumes that the customer gives written notice of open defects, existing at the time at which the risk passes, immediately after the risk has passed; defects that occur later are to be notified of without any delay after their detection.
(3) The warranty period is 6 months from the date of the conveyance of risks.
XII. Damages
Any and all claims for damages of any kind, particularly claims for damages brought forward on the grounds of positive breach of obligation, warranty, delay and unlawful acts, and especially claims for damages for consequential harms caused by defects, shall be excluded. This provision shall not be valid if imk, its legal representatives or vicarious agents/servants are imputed with intent or gross negligence or if the supplies or services delivered or rendered by imk lack warranted characteristics or if faults are concealed fraudulently.
XIII. Self-delivery clause
imk reserves the right to accurate and timely self-delivery.
XIV. Jurisdiction
The place of jurisdiction shall be the seat of imk; at imk's choice legal action may be brought about at the customer's statutory place of venue as well.

(1) Under this Agreement to the extent updates, upgrades, new releases or other purchased items are delivered to Licensee or work is performed for Licensee, the rights in case of defects in respect of the new features implemented therein, which do not merely remove errors, is set forth in the following para. (2) to (9).
(2) The software provided by Licensor shall be substantially in accordance with the product description of the renewed version. Rights in case of defects shall be excluded in the case of minor or immaterial deviations from the agreed or assumed characteristics and in the case of just slight impairment of use. Product descriptions shall not be deemed guaranteed unless separately agreed in writing.
(3) If Licensee demands replacement performance because of a defect, Licensor has the right to choose between the improvement, replacement delivery or replacement of services. If the defect is not cured within a first time limit and Licensee has set Licensor a reasonable second time limit without success or if a reasonable number of attempts to remedy, replacementdeliveries or replacement services are unsuccessful, then Licensee may, subject to the statutory prerequisites, terminate this Agreement or reduce the price and claim damages or reimbursement of costs. The remedying of the defect may also take place through the delivery or installation of a new program version or a work-around. If the defect does not or not substantially impair the functionality, then Licensor is entitled, to the exclusion of further rights in case of defects, to remedy the defect by delivering a new version or an update as part of its version, update and upgrade planning.
(4) Defects must be notified in writing with a comprehensible description of the error symptoms, as far as possible evidenced by written recordings, hard copies or other documents demonstrating the defects. The notification of the defect should enable the reproduction of the error. This shall not affect the statutory obligation of Licensee to inspect and notify defects.
(5) Licensee's rights in case of defects are limited to 12 months and the period shall begin on the date of delivery of the update, upgrade or new release.
(6) Any claims for damages in respect of defective services are subject to the limitations set forth under § 8.
(7) If the defect is caused by the defective products of a supplier and the supplier does not act as an assistant in performance of Licensor, rather Licensor is merely passing on a third party product to Licensee, then Licensee's rights in case of defects shall be limited to the assignment of its rights in case of defects against the supplier. This shall not apply, when the defect is caused by improper handling of the supplier's product for which Licensor is responsible. If Licensee is unable to assert his rights in case of defects against the supplier out of court, Licensor's subsidiary liability for Licensee's rights in case of defects shall remain unaffected.
(8) Amendments or additions to the updates, upgrades or new releases delivered which Licensee carries out itself or through third parties, shall cause Licensee's rights in case of defects to be cancelled, unless Licensee proves that the amendment or addition did not cause the defect. Licensor shall also not be responsible for defects, which are caused by improper use or improper operation or the use of unsuitable means of operation by Licensee.
(9) Licensor may refuse to remedy defects or deliver replacements, if and while Licensee is in default of payment with an amount not less than two monthly installments.

(2) The software delivered or provided by Licensor shall be free from third party rights, which prevent the use in accordance with the contract. Excepted from this are customary retentions of title.
(3) If third parties are entitled to such rights and they pursue these, then Licensor shall do everything in its power, in order to defend the software at its own expense against the third party rights claimed. Licensee shall inform Licensor in writing without delay of the claiming of such rights by third parties and shall give Licensor all powers of attorney and authorizations which are necessary in order to defend the software against the third party rights claimed.
(4) To the extent that there are defects in title, Licensor is (a) entitled at its option to either (i) take legitimate measures to remove the third party rights, which impair the contractual use of the software, or (ii) remedy the enforcement of such claims, or (iii) change or replace the hardware and software in such a manner, that it no longer infringes the rights of third parties, provided and to the extent that this does not substantially impair the warranted functionality of the software, and (b) under an obligation to reimburse Licensee for its necessary refundable costs incurred in the enforcement of legal claims.
(5) If a release under para. (3) is not possible within a reasonable time limit, then Licensee may, subject to the statutory prerequisites, at its option terminate this Agreement or reduce the price and claim damages.

(e) Licensor shall be liable for losses caused by the breach of its primary obligations by Licensor, its legal representatives or assistants in performance.

SCAPA Lafayette theater teacher earns Best Director nod
Amie Kisling, who teaches theater in SCAPA at Lafayette High School, was named Best Director at the 2018 High School Theatre Festival, which was part of the annual Southeastern Theatre Conference convention March 8-9 in Mobile, Alabama. In addition, Lafayette's cast of "Alice in Wonderland" received superior ratings, students Walker Cody and Jackson Becker were selected for the all-star cast, and 14 juniors and seniors received 668 callbacks for college admissions and scholarships.
"My students were kind, responsible, mature, creative, brave, articulate, and generous artists who challenged themselves to do their best work and celebrated the work of so many other young artists," Kisling said.
Each year, high schools groups that win at the state level compete at SETC for the regional title, and the two winning productions from each of the 10 SETC member states compete in the High School Theatre Festival. This region includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.

I don't understand how people do this. I love moving walks because I can go faster and it makes me feel like a superhero. Until I have to step off.
In London there's a very strong "walk left/stand right" culture in the subways. Coming back home after a week of london I get heavily annoyed when people stand on all sides of the escalator, especially the left (somehow, walk left seems pretty international along left- and right-driving countries); especially when you ask people that you want to pass and a whole family goes to the LEFT. AARGH!
Right??? I love zipping along in the airport by walking on the moving sidewalk.
Yeah, Japan is similarly organized in the walking and standing sides. Soooo much easier.

Irish town remembers JFK's visit
Irish town set for 50th anniversary of JFK visit.
As Northern Ireland prepares for the visit by President Obama and the G8 leaders later this month, a town in the Republic of Ireland is getting ready to commemorate another presidential visit.
Fifty years ago this month, President Kennedy made a trip back to his ancestral home in New Ross, County Wexford.
The tolling of the bell on the replica Dunbrody famine ship breaks the relative warm summer silence of New Ross harbour, as young French secondary students listen to a guide tell the story of the original Dunbrody.
It would have been on a ship like this that a young Patrick Kennedy, the late president's great-grandfather, left famine-stricken Ireland for a new life.
Sean Reidy, the chief executive of the JFK Trust, says the Kennedy story is remarkable.
"People left under great hardship. They arrived in America. But the story we tell is not just of them leaving. It's the story of what happened when they arrived and the onward development and progression of the Irish in America to the ultimate success of a great-grandson of a famine emigrant becoming president," he says.
All along the harbour front are reminders of JFK's visit 50 years ago.
There is a life-size bronze statue of him and a short distance away a bronze sculpture of the podium from which he made a short speech.
Eamonn Hore, the New Ross town manager, says that later this month an emigrant flame inside a large bronze globe will join the other pieces of sculpture.
"The emigrant flame will be lit on 22 June from Arlington, President Kennedy's graveside, the eternal flame. And the journey back will mirror the journey of his great-grandfather. The flame symbolises all Irish emigrants including the Kennedys, which is, perhaps, the greatest emigrant story of all," he says.
Up to 20,000 people are expected in New Ross on the day, including 31 of JFK's extended American family, at last count. The guests include his daughter, Caroline.
With President Obama also due to visit Ireland this month, former congressman Patrick Kennedy, a nephew of JFK and son of Ted, says there are many similarities between the two presidents.
He adds: "John F Kennedy was a young president and also the first Irish Catholic president. Barack Obama, also a young president, was the first African-American president. Both men inspired many people with their oratory.
Patrick Grennan lives in the JFK homestead and is looking forward to meeting his relatives
The Kennedy clan will also visit their old family homestead at Dunganstown, just outside New Ross, where a new museum will soon open to the public.
There to meet them will be Patrick Grennan, their Irish cousin, who lives there.
A shy man, he admits that meeting his self-confident American relatives can be both daunting and exhilarating.
He says: "I'm pretty excited about them coming. Patrick Kennedy was here on his own today and he was pretty impressive. And I imagine 20 to 30 Kennedys coming here into my home at one go will be pretty overwhelming."
Back in New Ross, Victor Furness, who sang for JFK 50 years ago, remembers the excitement of the day.
"To see this icon live was unbelievable. The only time we ever saw him was in a photograph on the wall beside the Pope. That's what Irish people had in their houses at the time. To actually see him in reality was out of this world," he says.
After President Kennedy was assassinated, Victor and Mary Cummins and some of their choir were flown to America to sing and remind the grieving American public of his recent Irish visit.
They appeared on the famous Ed Sullivan TV show and despite the sad occasion Mary has happy memories.
"I loved the television programme. The biggest thrill was seeing Danny Kaye. He was outside the TV studios when I saw him and I nearly lost my life because I absolutely adored him," she recalls.
As the excitement builds towards 22 June, the New Ross Community Museum has asked people to bring in their mementos of JFK's visit.
Ray Flynn, one of the organisers, says one of the items included in the collection is an official document from Aras an Uchtarain, the Irish president's office, that "indicates a change of arrangements and advises on the dress code for people".
The Kennedy connection is important to New Ross.
There is a genuine affection for the family and pride in their story of success.
But it is also good for business and, who knows? Maybe President Obama's stay in Northern Ireland could have similar benefits for County Fermanagh.

Gardening is a whole lot like work at the beginning. I should know - I spent this afternoon (no humidity, yeah!) digging up scraggly pansies and replacing them. Couldn't find the exact shade of salmon vinca I wanted, made do with something else, and am still not satisfied. I'll work at finding what I want, and until I do, I won't give up.
It felt a whole lot like I was starting a new book. Searching for the exact opening sentence. The right words to make the book "sound" right. Going through racks and racks of plants, hunting and pecking for the precisely correct color. Openings are so important - they can make or break you. Just like a flower garden in the front yard sets the tone for the rest of the plantings.
As I drive down a two-laned road near my house, I marvel at those homeowners who have bedecked their roadsides with a jubilation of colorful plants. Riots of color. I get their pride, their color schemes, how hard they've worked to make that first glimpse of their properties just so. Other houses have bedraggled entrances, weeds sky high. The yards may be neatly trimmed, but that first impression is one of neglect and laissez faire. Too bad.
Those first three pages of a novel are, like the gardens I see near my house, crucial to how you'll perceive the rest of the story. Make them killer. Grab the readers' "eyes," and they'll keep going for the rest of the ride.

Easy Going You know what moves me? Exercising my mind. Let's keep walking to a minimum and avoid stairs when we can.
On Your Feet I'm comfortable with some walking throughout the day. I expect to get on and off of a coach, and I'm ready to stroll through cities and to stand for a few hours when we're learning in museums.
Keep the Pace I like to spend much of the day exploring. Whether walking through historic neighborhoods at a moderate pace or out and about on a coach, I prefer to keep my days full. Stairs don't bother me, and I love to keep up with the group.
Let's Go! Walking is the best way to get to know a new place. I'm energetic and enjoy a good physical challenge, so I'm always ready to spend the day on the move. Whether it's public transit, city streets or village cobblestones, I'm game.
Choose Your Pace Choose from two or more options of activity levels to find your perfect pace.
Outdoor: No Sweat I exercise for fun, not to win contests. I like to explore at an easy pace, stopping to snap photos and smell the roses. Varied terrain doesn't scare me, but let's not do anything too extreme.
Outdoor: Spirited I enjoy getting my heart going on my bike or on trails. Nothing beats the thrill of taking on a rewarding climb or ride on varied terrain with inclines. Let's keep moving — occasional stops only, please.
Outdoor: Challenging I love pushing myself, and I can keep a steady pace on rugged and steep terrain. This is as challenging as it gets? Great. Let's do this. At the end of the day, I want to feel like I've had a real workout.
Outdoor: Choose Your Pace As outdoor enthusiasts know, some days can bring new variables — the weather, the terrain, my energy level — so I enjoy the flexibility of choosing from multiple options of length, challenges and pace
Varies by Date Choose from two or more options of activity levels to find your perfect pace.

Reddit – the most and least accessible collection of otter gifs and violent misogyny on the internet.
Home to the strangest obscure niche communities and source of easy material for lazy Buzzfeed writers. Depending on who you talk to, reddit is either a terrifying wasteland of redpilled neckbeards and hate speech or an excellent resource for helpful experts and original content.
The good news is, it's both! Today we'll be learning how to pick through the adorable cats and #MAGA caps to find ways to discover and engage with relevant audiences.
First, read Andrew Youngson's excellent introduction to reddit and decide if this is a space you're even willing to experiment in.
If you're going to dive into reddit you will need to be active as your institution and if you're not comfortable explaining to your boss why you now manage an official presence in the same spheres as people who staple bread to trees and advocate forced migration then you're spared from reading the rest of this article.
Pretty much any town or city capable of supporting a uni or college is big enough to have their own local subreddit. We always talk about trying to engage with our local community and this always turns into a £5,000 leaflet campaign which may as well go straight into the paper shredder.
For the low cost of £0 you can be active in your local community subreddit, sharing information about public events on campus, recruiting for research studies, warning about students returning for the start of term… We shared our community relations message about how to report bad student behaviour in off-campus accommodation and what we were doing to improve it and had a great reaction, including from locals who had never heard from us by traditional mediums.
Your institution is doing things that local people care about. Museums on campus, film showings, public lectures, buildings going up and down, societies looking for members… Tell your local redditors and reach a whole new audience.
As Andrew wrote in his blog, the key to promoting on reddit is learning and knowing the community, and checking with moderators. We had some research around protein in diets so I checked around the health and fitness subreddits as possible places to share. While /r/Supplements was happy to swallow it, /r/Bodybuilding ditched us like a dirty posing pouch.
This leads to another point, which is finding your niche communities outside the obvious /r/Science. That's the very essence of reddit, and it's something that I tell academics in the social media workshops I deliver. You're an expert in very specific things – there are whole communities online who are desperate to learn more and who would be delighted to share your knowledge. Can't find media who care about your research? I bet you can find 50 enthusiastic amateurs moderating a relevant subreddit who are desperate to talk to you.
AltMetric measures the online interest around research publications and includes reddit as a source, so simply sharing DOI links on relevant subreddits can boost the score of an output for no cost and minimal effort.
Our social listening tool, Microsoft Social Engagement, includes reddit as a source of traffic to monitor so we can keep an eye on relevant communities and discussions and jump in to contribute, the same as Twitter or Facebook.
The biggest benefit for academics is of course the AMA sessions. This gives a chance to have direct back-and-forths with a hugely diverse group of people, and the best sessions end up sparking new lines of enquiry for the academic who is taking the questions. Many times I've organised these sessions and had feedback from the academic that they've never had such a wide range of questions.
You do need to be aware of the style of engagement and choose and brief your people accordingly. One of our efforts was nearly abandoned because the expert taking questions couldn't abide 'internet people' disagreeing with them – "Who are they to question me?" Well, actually, you have no idea who they are so it's safer to treat them with respect and answer their question on its merits.
If your AMA is successful, you can expect the kind of numbers that your outreach and events teams can only dream of.
Most importantly, reddit success gives you an opportunity to be throw big numbers around and be passive-aggressive on Twitter.
Share a research paper on @reddit and it gets 16k views and 3k engagements, with the academic answering questions in the comments. I haven't run the numbers but that's probably more people than attend our public lectures.
For professional development and to keep my enthusiasm under control, I love /r/Marketing, /r/PRTwitter, and /r/FellowKids. The first two are sources of great debate (internet arguments) and a way to keep up with what's going on in the lofty sphere of marketers and comms people who actually have budgets.
FellowKids is an absolute must-read for anyone who gets paid to talk to an audience which is generally younger than they are. It's my reality check whenever I'm tempted to get down with the youth, and it's some top-drawer social media schadenfreude (shout-out to my alma mater Griffith University). Use this to show your managers next time they ask if the university could Facebook a harlem shake or someone suggests a dabbing VC on the inside cover of the welcome packs.
Like the launch of any new channel ("Can we have a snapchat account, just for during Welcome Week?") you need to consider the risks and rewards and whether you can afford the time to learn and develop a new way of communicating. If you can bravely face the loonies of reddit and find your niches, small and large, good luck and good posting.

Why Ukrainian regaining lost territory could depend on battle tanks from Western allies
January 20, 2023 by jetvital
So far Ukraine has fought a defensive battle trying to hold ground against the Russian assault it has been very successful in doing that and now the time has come to retake that lost ground and you just can't do that with infantry operating unit on foot or an unprotected vehicle and you need the shock effect and impact with only a battle tank can provide supported by infantry fighting vehicles.
That's why Ukraine is so Keen to obtain them obviously Germany is very reluctant to trigger any kind of escalation and that's obviously a key factor in their decision to not send tanks so far but let's be clear I mean Germany has sent a huge amount of other equipment and it lags only behind America.

The United Kingdom in that regard it's provided the Gephardt anti-aircraft system the Panzer how it's a 2000 dingo personnel carrier and now it's providing mud so a huge amount of material has already been sent and is being sent by Germany but tanks of a sticking point because of the escalation and Germany doesn't want to lead this initiative it wants to follow.
Really when you think about its history and it's designed not again to become a militaristic state you can kind of sort of understand this approach in the meantime the UK we know has promised to send 14 of their Challenger tanks.
How do these measure up to the leopard tanks well both leopard and Challenger are third-generation main battle tanks they were developed in the early 1980s and fielded at the height of the Cold War, unfortunately, Challenger has not been upgraded whereas leopard has so leopard today is probably quantifiably better than Challenger however both tanks are considerably better?
But anything Russia has fielded in Ukraine earlier this week Canada made its own announcement about providing Ukraine with Senator armored personnel carriers from your perspective how will they help Ukraine's military right now well another useful addition but the problem that Ukraine has is with so many different countries donating different vehicle types.
Other equipment types we're creating a massive logistical headache for the Ukrainians how do you manage these micro fleets very hard.
So while they will contribute to the war effort on the ground looking after we speak sustaining them supporting them would be very challenging we're now almost a year into this war and you have talked about what you expect will be a spring offensive by Russia when it comes to the need for these leopard tanks.
The call for those tanks helps us understand what it means in terms of timing so there are two schools of thought here one is that Russia is already fully depleted and has spent force and really can't do anything else so the time has come to mount an offensive to retake lost territory and to kick them out of Ukraine completely.
But another school of thought suggests that we need to be more prudent and in fact that there is evidence to suggest that the Russians are planning a new offensive for the spring when the ground becomes firmer and we know that they're trying to recruit a further 300 000 conscripts.
But also they have other tank reserves and artillery reserves which they may bring out of deep storage so we need to be very mindful of what they might do we need our intelligence as its needs to follow that on the ground and because if you know if Ukraine does attack it will need this three to one advantage in order to Triumph and the risk is that it depletes its own resources only then to be on the receiving end of a Russian counter-attack which it cannot push back.
So the Judgment here has to be very fine so it will rely on NATO intelligence to inform it of what's going on and then to make the right call in terms of when it counter-attacks you've helped explain why Germany is hesitant to okay the sending of the leper tanks do you think the U.S might decide to lead the way sending its own Abrams Tanks as a way of getting the German on board.
I think it's more likely that the UK would send more of its challenges I mean in my own view I think if we sent 50 to 100 challenges to Ukraine that would be a much better solution and that would encourage the Germans to do likewise and they wouldn't be seen to be leading that, of course.
The issue here is that there was only a limited quality quantity of challenges but an enormous quantity of leopards that could potentially be sent and that's why that fear of the Germans triggered escalation.

A tapestry of sea, lakes and woods, Latvia is best described as a vast unspoilt parkland with just one real city – its cosmopolitan capital, Rīga. The country might be small, but the amount of personal space it provides is enormous. You can always secure a chunk of pristine nature all for yourself, be it for trekking, cycling or dreaming away on a white-sand beach amid pine-covered dunes.
Having been invaded by every regional power, Latvia has more cultural layers and a less homogenous population than its neighbours. People here fancy themselves to be the least pragmatic and the most artistic of the Baltic lot. They prove the point with myriad festivals and a merry, devil-may-care attitude – well, a subdued Nordic version of it.

Q: Why do I keep getting error 'Double' has no member 'text'? I'm getting data from the OpenWeatherMap API.
Why do I keep getting the error:

Value of type 'Double' has no member 'text'

for only the humidity.text line?
let humidity = (self.document?.main?.humidity!)!
let tempeMax = (self.document?.main?.temp_max!)! - 273.15
let tempeMin = (self.document?.main?.temp_min!)! - 273.15
humidity.text = humidity.text! + "  " + String(format:"%.0f", humidity)
temp.text = temp.text! + "  " + String(format:"%.0f", tempe)

A: Your humidity variable is a Double, and has no text attribute.
If I were to guess what's going on, you have another variable named humidity in your code somewhere that's a UILabel that you are accidentally mismatching. I'm assuming it's a UILabel because text is a member of the class.
You should have something like this instead of two humidity variables:
let humidityLabel: UILabel = ...
let humidityValue: Double = ...

A: What do you expect humidity.text to be?
It's a Double so it won't have such a thing.
If you send some context for the document it will make sense.
