Jamie Shea: Just to remind you that Prime Minister D'Alema of Italy is here this morning and he will be here at 12.30 with the Secretary General to give the combined joint press conference; he will be addressing the North Atlantic Council at 12 noon, about another hour from now and in a few moments he will begin a briefing on the current military situation with the Chairman of the Military Committee, Admiral Venturoni, and General Rupert Smith, the Deputy SACEUR. Those are the details of his programme and obviously there will be the normal 3 o'clock update with myself and General Jertz.
I would just like to give you the overnight details: over the last 24 hours, that is to say on Day 57 of operation Allied ForceI, NATO was able to take advantage of better weather to go back to the normal tempo, our intended tempo, of operations. Allied aircraft flew 446 sorties, 118 of those were specific strike sorties and another 35 were strike sorties against the Yugoslav air defence network and as has been our practice over the last few weeks, we used every opportunity to continue to strike hard at the Yugoslav forces on the ground in Kosovo.
Obviously, at the moment all of you and ourselves here too are very interested in the details of the complicated diplomacy which is ongoing and which is showing some signs of progress and that is extremely important and I want to stress how much we support and encourage those diplomatic efforts but I also want to stress at the same time that NATO's position is unchanged, our strategy is unchanged, there will be no relief for President Milosevic's forces on the ground in Kosovo until those forces withdraw.
Over the last 24 hours, we attacked fielded forces in Kosovo including tanks and armoured vehicles and artillery positions and we attacked also a surface-to-air transporter launcher and numerous other military vehicles. At the same time, NATO aircraft struck strategic targets throughout Serbia, the main targets were airfields at Pristina and Batanjica, Army facilities at Zinjani in Belgrade and at Istok, military communications stations at Belgrade and Stara Azova, a radio broadcast facility at Sorboron and at Subotica and at Kula and fuel storage sites at Sonbor, Batanjica and Jenica. We also struck a radio relay site at Losinca and an ammunition plant at Barij and all NATO aircraft returned safely to their bases after last night's operation and on Day 58 now the mission continues.
Jake Lynch, Sky News: On the desertions, Jamie, can you tell us any more about the nature and your assessment of the strength of reports of troop desertions, please?
Jamie Shea: Jake, we know at least 500 have deserted from the 7th Armoured Brigade, that seems to be the unit which has been most affected and these are not simply individual desertions, i.e. various people throwing down their weapons and leaving, this in fact constitutes a battalion so it is, if you like, an organised desertion and the reason why, as far as we can tell, is because these soldiers apart of course from being in a hopeless situation in Kosovo and taking a lot of punishment, were also disturbed when they heard reports of their families demonstrating at Krusevac being mistreated by the local police using water cannon to put down a demonstration and that is the reason why they wanted to go back home ostensibly to protect their families on that occasion.
We know from sources inside Yugoslavia that the Belgrade government seems to be now deciding that if you can't beat it, tolerate it and at least to acknowledge that these desertions are happening and secondly to try to avoid a mass desertion by not taking forceful measures to prevent that from happening, in fact there have even been some attempts by Belgrade to pretend that this is part of their partial troop withdrawal but as these people are throwing down their weapons and leaving and certainly we don't see tanks and artillery coming out, I don't think that this can be presented in any way as a partial troop withdrawal.
Having said that, we see increasing signs of war weariness across Yugoslavia. It is interesting that in the last few weeks there have been no more of these anti-war rock concerts, no more of these "spontaneous happenings" on bridges, indeed on Tuesday, 18 May, the state media made a noticeable shift away from patriotic and inflammatory broadcasting perhaps realising that this was no longer having quite the rousing effect on the population and we do know that in Krusevac the demonstrations against the war have been continuing, in fact according to the Democratic Party of Serbia there are reports that more than 800 reservists arrived in Krusevac yesterday from Kosovo and sporadic gunfire was heard in the town in the afternoon.
One of the problems with the low morale in the Yugoslav Army comes from the fact that Belgrade has been spared largely in the recruiting and most of the conscripts are coming from the southern part of Kosovo and in one particular town called Leskovac, which is near the Kosovo border, we have reports that men over 50 have been mobilised. We also know that in Montenegro, particularly in the city of Senice, that police have undertaken a kind of press-gang-style round-up of military-age males for conscription and many people trying to escape conscription are going to Belgrade because they feel that there is less chance of them being discovered there and conscripted because the government wants to avoid unrest in the capital city and therefore the south is being particularly victimised and I think that is one of the reasons, Jake, why the demonstrations took place in three southern cities.
Jake: The reports of the 800 came from the Democratic Party?
Jamie Shea: Yes.
Jake: Was the other separate report from earlier also from a political source inside Yugoslavia?
Jamie Shea: Yes. There are many sources now that are saying this and I think it is something - even if we don't know the full extent - which clearly is true. The Yugoslav authorities, in reacting very aggressively and making statements that they would be charging those responsible with treason even those these seemed like spontaneous outbursts rather than any organised form of protest, obviously are showing that this is happening. So yes, there is a trend towards war weariness.
Let me just give you one other example which I have seen in recent days. In Cacak a group of intellectuals have set up a non-political anti-war citizens parliament at the local cultural centre calling on Milosevic to take action to stop the NATO attacks and at the same time asking the VJ units to leave the town because of course they don't want to be subject to NATO attacks and therefore asking the VJ to please go somewhere else.
Margaret: Jamie, do you have any more information on the reports about a hospital being hit in Belgrade and the Swedish ambassador's residence having its windows blown out and on that, is this not perhaps a sensitive area to be bombing in the wake of the Chinese embassy accident?
Jamie Shea: Margaret, as you know, we have always said that no place in Yugoslavia and no military facility would be a sanctuary if that facility is connected with the Army activities in Kosovo and I can tell you that NATO aircraft targeted yesterday evening and struck a Belgrade Army barracks - I insist an Army barracks - at about 1 a.m. this morning; 7 laser-guided bombs hit the target, one laser-guided bomb failed to guide correctly and we can confirm that it struck the base of a building about 1,500 feet from the centre of the target area but reports that I saw on Tanjug today that say that NATO deliberately targeted a civilian building are completely false.
Question: (inaudible)
Jamie Shea: It was 1,500 feet away from the military barracks. I don't have more details at the moment.
John: Jamie, to follow up on that, after these reports came out, I have seen quite a few military analysts this morning saying that NATO should rethink its strategy of hitting military targets in such built-up areas and just stick to hitting troops in the field, bridges, airfields, things like that.
Jamie Shea: John, we want to stop the violence in Kosovo and the only way we can stop the violence in Kosovo is by continuing to strike at the forces on the ground and at the strategic targets elsewhere in Yugoslavia which are directly responsible for the planning and execution of those military activities. We have made it clear right from the word "go" and I repeat that no legitimate military target in Yugoslavia which is involved in this operation is going to be treated as a sanctuary, we will continue our practice of striking those military targets with great accuracy and precision and we will continue to take every conceivable measure to avoid damage to civilian property and of course harm to civilians but the air campaign continues.
Julie: Jamie, the Pentagon said yesterday that the 500 soldiers were probably reservists. Can you elaborate on that?
Jamie Shea: Julie, these people were in the field in Kosovo, they were deployed in a field battalion of the 7th Armoured Brigade in Kosovo, they deserted therefore from the front line, they weren't in a reserve call-up position somewhere else so it is clear they were serving soldiers.
I have said in these briefings that the Yugoslavs do have a problem now in mobilising manpower, people don't want to serve in the Army because of course they know what the consequences are, they have no enthusiasm for leaving their lives in Kosovo. As I said the other day, these young men prefer fatherhood to fatherland and that is true.
What I can tell you is that any middle-aged male is prohibited from leaving the country. The Yugoslav police have very stringent border checks throughout Yugoslavia including - and this has been a factor in recent days - Montenegro, to try to prevent young men going into Croatia or trying to get to Hungary or even the Republic of Serpska where we know that a couple of thousand have taken refuge and therefore I think it shows that they are having these considerable problems. As I said, in Belgrade they are being very light on conscription because they want to avoid unrest in the capital and that is why so many young men are going underground in Belgrade because they realise they have a better chance of escaping the draft there than if they stay in their villages in southern Serbia. Southern Serbia does feel particularly victimised by the heavy preponderance of drafting there as compared with the rest of the country.
Question: But Jamie, isn't there a distinction to be drawn between probable reservists and those actually enlisted in the Army? They would seem to be more likely to walk away if there were an opportunity. There seems to be a distinction between being a battle-hardened soldier and being a reservist.
Jamie Shea: The Yugoslav Army, as you know Julie, is based on conscripts. As I say, the people who are treated well are the Special Police, the MUP, they have greater loyalty to Milosevic because they get the rewards and if you like, it is a question of the MUP of Milosevic being similar to what Winston Churchill used to say: "We either hang together or we hang separately!" but the Army doesn't seem to feel quite the same degree of devotion and the fact that these 500 left and apparently, from what know, drove through check-points, threatened the MUP - "We are going or else!" - and made a very determined effort to break away was not just a form of desertion but was a kind of political demonstration in its own right and that is why we judge it significant. I am not going to pretend that the Yugoslav Army is collapsing, not at all, but this is a significant crack and I think it says a lot about the declining morale which clearly is affecting the forces in Kosovo.
One of the reasons for the demonstrations in the three cities is that for the first time coffins are coming back and this is bringing home to the Yugoslav population the fact that this is not a glorious war against terrorists but this is a very nasty campaign in which a number of Yugoslavs who clearly have no dispute with their own fellow citizens, the ethnic Albanians, and no particular interest in driving them out of their homes, are losing their lives needlessly because of something which President Milosevic could have avoided, had a hundred opportunities to avoid through the diplomatic process leading up to Rambouillet and Milosevic has never explained to his people why he said "No!" to a lot of opportunities to solve this peacefully and on terms which gave a lot to Belgrade, it was a very balanced agreement, it did not threaten the sovereignty of Yugoslavia and therefore why he rejected that and insisted instead on imposing a military solution where he himself of course is not fighting nor the members of his family let it be said but where a lot of other Yugoslavs are being forced to make increasingly heavy sacrifices.
Thank you, I will see you at 12.30 with the Secretary General.


The document shows how French expertise in road maintenance has been used both in France and overseas. Part 1, "Road Maintenance Management", presents the general methodology, developed by road managers in the French Administration, with respect to work at three levels: (1) central level (road maintenance policy); (2) regional level (programmes); and (3) local level (completion and supervision of works). Part 2, "Examples in France", describes two types of applications of the general approach developed in Part 1. Firstly, it covers the main directions adopted in the area of general organisation of road maintenance: special methods and materials developed in France, pavement maintenance technology, and principal management tools. Secondly, it discusses the specific methods applied to the maintenance of different types of road networks: motorways operated by a concessionaire, state-operated motorways and national roads, departmental roads, and district roads. Part 3, "French Engineering outside France", describes some examples of projects, undertaken during the last ten years by French experts outside France, as part of technical assistance assignments, training, or technology transfer in road maintenance. The countries that have benefited are Bangladesh, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, and seven African countries.

Posted by Keith Getty on 18 February 2016
Keith Getty talks to WeAreWorship about why he's calling people to sing about mission
WeAreWorship: What's the story behind your new hymn, Facing A Task Unfinished?
Keith Getty: I've always loved the work of hymn writer and missionary to China, Frank Houghton. Kristyn feels the same. She says that when she sings the Houghton hymns she stops caring about things that aren't important. It's that missional focus which centres you, especially in his hymn Facing A Task Unfinished. I've loved the song for years, even before I wrote hymns myself.
WeAreWorship: But you felt there was something missing, is that right?
Keith Getty: It's a great commission song with no response, and I wondered if it needed a chorus. So I wrote one in time for the Gospel Coalitions Missions conference but at the last minute chose another song as I had so little confidence in what we'd done.
The organisation that Houghton went to China with – the China Inland Mission – is still around today. It's known as OMF International, and with their President Patrick Fung choosing "Facing A Task Unfinished" as the theme to celebrate their 150th anniversary in Singapore, they approached us again about giving it another attempt.
WeAreWorship: And that changed your mind about your new version of the hymn?
Keith Getty: By creating a new version we were able to create a song both drawing attention to the work and mission of OMF as well as a new copyright raising funds for OMF International through the royalties.
WAW: So what are you inviting people to do?
Keith Getty: We're excited to share Facing A Task Unfinished. We're inviting churches around the world to join in a global sing this coming Sunday (21st February, 2016) and we're well on the way to our goal of 1,000,000 people from 100 countries and in over ten different languages. Visit GettyMusic.com and you can find all the free resources you'll need to get your congregation singing.
WeAreWorship: Thinking about the bigger picture, why does any of this matter?
Keith Getty: Compared to 50 years ago there are very few songs today about witnessing to your neighbour or going to the ends of the earth to bring the gospel to the world. This generation has been relatively quiet on mission. We've been silenced by society, by the media and political correctness, and worship music has also become increasingly commercialised. I think it's time to get people singing about mission again.
WeAreWorship: Because…?
Keith Getty: We're meant to sing about things like mission. After all, if we don't sing about it we don't think about it, we don't pray about it, we don't talk about it. It fails to become a part of the moment by moment choices we make in life. But as Christians we're meant to go against the flow.
WeAreWorship: Are you optimistic that we can?
Keith Getty: Ninety years ago there were 750,000 Christians in China. Today there are anything between 80 and 132 million. We want to get people excited about world mission, to remind them that in the midst of this remarkable church growth – as well as persecution – there is so much to thank God for.
We're facing a mighty task. Not just in China, but in Cuba or in the Middle East for example, and back home as well. There are millions – even billions – of people who need to hear the gospel message. It's a task unfinished, and it's our turn to grab hold of the baton.

The Case For Museums Telling Big Stories
Few things cause as much argument in museum-making workshops as the subject of the Big Story. As in: should museums tell big stories? Are the big stories that they tell us true? And how can they tell a big, forward-flowing narrative in free-flowing exhibitions where visitors can wander wherever they want? In Maurice Davies' article, The Case Against Story (see below) Maurice puts the case against museums as big storytellers whereas the Museum of Marco Polo is putting the case for – or at least for-ish.
So first, for non museum-making readers, Small Stories – the ones that connect to individual artefacts – are always popular with visitors, because they can be human, engaging, witty, passionate – whatever you want. But the Big Story or the Big Idea? – those (often invisible) threads of meaning that hold galleries or entire museums together – are another matter. Big Stories are far harder to express, at least without lecturing the visitors or turning the experience into a book on the wall – but does that mean that they're impossible?
Read Maurice's article for a more nuanced version but essentially the case against Big Story goes as follows. Firstly in a free-flowing art form, which is exhibition-making, how can you compel visitors to follow one narrative thread? Secondly, now that the internet has dismantled narrative, nobody wants a single story imposed on us when we could make up myriad stories of our own with myriad beginnings and endings. Thirdly, when museums did tell big stories (way back in the 19th and early part of the 20th century) they often got the big story shockingly wrong, producing colonial narratives that we are still unpicking today.
So that's the argument against. But what about for?
Stories come in many different shapes and forms. Sometimes they are tight, often tragic narratives – of wars, genocides, slavery – with clear beginnings, middles and endings. Sometimes they are closer to Big Ideas, of which there might be two or three in an exhibition. And sometimes they are more like collections of short stories, with or without the framing narrative. It all depends on what you're saying.
Sometimes there is a big narrative that needs to be told (genocide and slavery, for instance) and just because they're difficult that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. The truth also is that when the story is big enough and powerfully enough told – as we discovered when we did the Holocaust Exhibition at the Imperial War Museum – visitors will largely follow a single narrative thread. But it's also true that sometimes the objects cry out, not for one big narrative but for a collection of short stories – or a narrative with many different viewpoints.
So I think the better question is not, should we be telling big stories? but rather, when is the Big Story the right choice? And how can we tell it well? And here, I grant you, it gets difficult. Because not every visitor is good at 'reading' a three dimensional space. Over-tell the story (over-signal it, make it too explicit, tell it like a book on the wall) and it will suffocate the objects and co-opt them into a narrative that they don't want to tell. Under-tell the story (don't put enough weight on it, don't signal it strongly enough) and the experience feels incoherent and the objects die anyway. Sometimes a story works beautifully the day before opening when the gallery is empty but becomes incomprehensible when the gallery is crowded. There's an art to telling a story in three dimensions and there's an art to reading it.
The spatial argument, that visitors don't go round the exhibition in any one order, is complicated because it depends on the space. There are some galleries with only one way in and one way out and a kind of forward drift in between – and here you could tell a Big Story with one beginning and one ending, so long as you allowed the visitors to meet many different middles in between. But there are other galleries with many entrances where a Big Story would die – although I have seen these galleries designed with a strong central piece – in the belief/hope that visitors will go to the middle first?
But honestly? I think that those who argue against Big Story are really saying, Let us make up our own stories – we don't want to be told what to think any longer. And as someone who spends a large part of her life on storytelling isues, who am I to argue? Except that sometimes I too want to relax and let someone else tell me a story. And I do notice that twenty years into the history of the Internet, Big Story is back with a vengeance – Game of Thrones, House of Cards?
One last point. Maurice imagines the Museum of Marco Polo as being a place of wonders, through which the visitors can drift in no particular order, marvelling at what they see. So, absolutely yes to a place of wonders and drift, but I am also absolutely sure that there will be a thread of story running through the Museum of Marco Polo, that thread being the journey that Marco Polo took and the cities he met on the way, with each city unfolding, one after another, and each one more wondrous than the last. The Story shaped like a Journey is one of the loveliest stories of all.
What do you think? Which one of us is right?

Surviving Winter Driving: Are You Ready?
Now that winter is officially here, I find myself wondering if we're going to get "pounded" with massive amounts of snow anytime soon. And I think I've mentioned this before, but I'm not a big fan of the cold and I don't necessarily look forward to these beatings.
Practically everyone I know loves the snow (not that I hate it) I just don't like what comes with it—like all the extra time you need to get somewhere, cleaning and scraping your car, the layers and layers of jackets and clothes and hats and scarves, the messiness, the sloppiness, the coldness and not to mention driving in it.
And speaking of driving in it, to me there's nothing worse than some show off in an SUV who buzzes right by you, going 40 mph, on slick roads. (I don't even do this, and I drive one.) Honestly, I don't think anyone should be exempt from taking safety precautions on the road in the winter time, or any time for that matter.
So what goes on internally with your car in the winter time? I swear I hear at least one story a year about someone getting stranded in their car during a brutal snowstorm. What would you do if your car suddenly gave out and you got stranded? Here are some helpful hints (from winterdrivingsafety.com) to not only avoid this from happening to you, but to also be prepared just in case it does.
Test your battery. Did you know that batteries can lose up to 40 percent of their power in the cold? Although it's recommended that you check your battery before winter starts, it's never a bad idea to do so at any time.
Be sure to check your fluids, breaks, shocks and struts. It's a no-brainer that these work together as a team, and each and every component is important. Obviously, you need good breaks to stop, especially on slick roads. And might I add that if you have worn shocks and struts, your tires "gripping ability" may be reduced.
And of course, you'll need new wiper blades. Harsh conditions already make our visibility quite challenging, so why make it harder? Also, always try to warm-up your car (not unattended of course). I know it's easy to just get in and take off, but it's not good to drive your car "cold"—it's bad for your engine overall.
Breaking techniques. Maybe you've heard it before or maybe you haven't, but with traditional breaking systems, it's best to "pump" your breaks (lifting your foot on and off the break-pedal) if you're in trouble. The difference with ABS is "by pressing the brake pedal as hard as possible and holding it there allows the computer to pump the brakes while still maintaining some steering effectiveness" (wintersafetydriving.com).
How are the road conditions? When you're alone, try pressing on your breaks until your wheels lock up. By this, you might have a good idea of what you're in for during your commute. Also, give yourself plenty of space between your car and other vehicles, and always be on the lookout for any obstacles further on down the road that may put your safety at risk.
Leave your headlamps on low beam at night. This can improve your visibility by reducing reflection and glare. And turn on your headlights on in the daytime (that's if they don't automatically do so already). Not only does this help you to see, but it also allows others to see you as well. But most importantly, make sure your car and lights are thoroughly cleaned off before you go.
And last but not least, always be prepared for the worst. Unfortunately, sometimes things happen beyond our control—no matter how careful we think we are. You never know what might happen when you're on the road in bad conditions. There might be long detours, road closures or accidents that could leave you sitting in your car for hours—so it's best to always have an extra set of heavy winter clothes, blankets, *emergency supplies, food, water, cell phone charger, shovel, kitty litter, flashlight (with extra batteries), tow strap, and jumper cables.

Learfield marks the third corporate giant that Evansville athletics has partnered with in recent years, including Nike and Gatorade.
EVANSVILLE — For years, University of Evansville basketball games could only be heard on the radio through its in-house station, WUEV. Having that control on campus had its advantages, but it was deemed necessary to adapt to the growing trend of partnering with a marketing and multimedia rights holder.
More than half of the NCAA Division I schools in the country are affiliated with either Learfield or IMG. There are others, such as Van Wagner or OUTFRONT Media, which own third-party rights for another 20 athletic departments. Many schools, particularly in the Missouri Valley Conference, made the switch within the past decade.
In an effort to expand its reach, both over the airwaves and through corporate sponsorships, UE has now joined the party.
Recently, the university announced a multi-year agreement with Learfield through The Original Company, based in Vincennes. It will begin in the 2018-19 school year.
TOC owns five stations that will comprise the "Purple Aces Radio Network". They are: WJPS 107.1 FM in Boonville and Evansville, WAOV 97.3/97.7 FM/1450 AM in Vincennes, WRCY 106.7 FM/1590 AM in Mount Vernon, WROY 92.1 FM/1460 AM in Carmi, Illinois, and WYFX 106.7 FM in Evansville.
Learfield will conduct the search for UE's next basketball play-by-play announcer. Jasper's Walt Ferber had been the voice for the past two seasons.
Spencer said that WUEV could still carry games depending on the interest from UE students. However, with WUEV being a nonprofit, there is a different advertising structure. Learfield would not be allowed to sell into WUEV and the student broadcast would feature different commercial breaks.
Also created was "Purple Aces Sports Properties," which will be managed on campus by Learfield. It covers everything from branding, licensing and trademark consulting to digital and social platform expertise and campus-wide business and sponsorship development.
Evansville resident Brandon McClish will serve as its general manager.
"I have my dream job, to say the least," he said.
McClish has worked behind the scenes before the announcement April 20.
Learfield posted the job opening on its website a few months ago, before basketball head coach Marty Simmons was fired and Walter McCarty was hired. Spencer said that he had sought after a multimedia rights holder in years' past, but were told UE's profile didn't fit what they were looking for.
While UE will be one of Learfield's smaller schools, Spencer said that it liked the city's location in the crossroads of its other properties. Learfield also broadcasts Indiana, Purdue and Louisville. Expect the production of Aces games to sound eerily similar.
After working with Learfield during his time at Oregon State, Spencer believes this move will help take the burden off his department and guarantee external revenues for years to come. Since becoming the AD at Evansville in 2014, he has created partnerships with Nike, Gatorade and now Learfield – three giants in their fields.
"I really think (Learfield is) going to open doors we can't," he said. "We're trying to get in with a Pepsi or Coke. We have a university Pepsi deal, but being able to get more advertising dollars out of InBev to get Budweiser, or a national grocery chain. We were lucky to get in with Meijer, but what about a Walmart?


Thinking of ordering one of our glass designs with another company?
From time to time, window and door companies attempt to copy our glass designs and sell them on to customers without our permission or knowledge. If you are planning to order one of our copyrighted glass designs from another company without our knowledge or permission then this will be a breach of our copyright and legal action will be taken against you and the supplier of the glass designs.
In recent years Leadbitter Glass has discovered a handful of companies around the UK copying our glass designs to sell on for themselves and/or to be created on the request of their clients. In every case that is brought to our attention and every case we discover, we will take legal action until the matter is resolved. After a judgement, all legal costs incurred by Leadbitter Glass during litigation would be paid for by the defendant and the 'copied' glass designs would be requested to be handed over to Leadbitter Glass once the case is settled.
Have you paid for a design to be created by our studio?
If you have paid for a design to be created for you, we still own the copyright for that design so if you decide that you do not want to place a full order, you cannot order that glass design with another company unless you get our full written permission.
Before you go ahead and order one of our glass designs with another company why not ask us for a quick quote for delivery of the glass designs. You may be surprised how competitive we are and more importantly you won't be breaking any copyright laws. We deliver decorative glass anywhere in the UK and we can even liaise with your window or door supplier and deliver the glass directly to them.
Another good reason why you should order the decorative glass with us is the fact that we are probably the UK's premier glass studio and all of our glass artists are professional glass artists with at least 15 years experince in creating beautiful decorative glass panels. Some window and door companies use inexperienced staff to try and copy glass designs all with the aim of saving money by keeping labour costs down to a bare minimum.

barred from going to offices and secondary education."That is why I'm here today because, in

Eric Singer began playing drums at age eleven. When he was thirteen, he was in the big band of his father, Johnny Singer, playing. Originally it had not fallen, since his father was a very disciplined musician. After Eric Singer had first taught to play the drums himself, he now began to take lessons from Buddy Kummil.
Participation in the big band was a major influence for Singer. He developed a strong work ethic, after he found that his father had a fixed idea of how the song should sound, which interpreted the band. When his son was not able to fulfill the expectations, John Singer played him what he wanted to hear - Eric Singer for an embarrassing situation because the other musicians in the band heard the reproach of his father. Finally, Eric has developed such a strong discipline in the game that his father only wanted to work with him. On the one hand he liked the one on the other side so he missed in his youth some things that experienced the other students of his school on the weekends.

He played with Ford in the opening act of the U.S. tour of Ratt and should also participate in the recording of their album Dancin ' on the Edge, but Ford took Randy Castillo back. She was together at this time with Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath, who planned to record a solo album. He asked Singer if he would help with the recordings of the demos later, he asked him the album, Seventh Star, to take with him.
After the recordings, the singer made with the Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi and Glenn Hughes singer, Iommi decided that the disk should appear as a Sabbath album. The band went on tour, which ended in June 1986, and then went to work for the follow-up album, The Eternal Idol.

Singer took the title in 1991 with Kiss God Gave Rock ' n ' Roll to You II, as their drummer, Eric Carr, conditionally could not play due to a cancer. When it became clear that Carr would probably not return to the band, the group took with singer on the album Revenge. Singer was after Carr's death an official member of the band, with which he then but could only record another studio album, Carnival of Souls, which was not published until 1997. 1996 the group decided to make a comeback attempt with the founding members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, who was initially successful.

now as you can see the tree starts with <effect> and inside there are multiple <parameters> but im only ater the <value> from <parameters> that also contain
<parameterid>str</parameterid>
<name>Text</name>

so i can get an output of "That child is so cute.
And he's smart."
Here is my code
lst = tree.findall('xmeml/sequence/media/video/track/generatoritem/effect/parameter/value')
    counts = tree.findall('.//value')

    for each in counts:
        print(each.text)

And this is what i get

To achieve scalability of query answering, the developers of Semantic Web applications are often forced to use incomplete OWL 2 reasoners, which fail to derive all answers for at least one query, ontology, and data set. The lack of completeness guarantees, however, may be unacceptable for applications in areas such as health care and defence, where missing answers can adversely affect the application's functionality. Furthermore, even if an application can tolerate some level of incompleteness, it is often advantageous to estimate how many and what kind of answers are being lost.
In this paper, we present a novel logic-based framework that allows one to check whether a reasoner is complete for a given query Q and ontology T---that is, whether the reasoner is guaranteed to compute all answers to Q w.r.t. T and an arbitrary data set A. Since ontologies and typical queries are often fixed at application design time, our approach allows application developers to check whether a reasoner known to be incomplete in general is actually complete for the kinds of input relevant for the application.
We also present a technique that, given a query Q, an ontology T, and reasoners R_1 and R_2 that satisfy certain assumptions, can be used to determine whether, for each data set A, reasoner R_1 computes more answers to Q w.r.t. T and A than reasoner R_2. This allows application developers to select the reasoner that provides the highest degree of completeness for Q and T that is compatible with the application's scalability requirements.
Our results thus provide a theoretical and practical foundation for the design of future ontology-based information systems that maximise scalability while minimising or even eliminating incompleteness of query answers.

4 Ways to Release the iPhone Camera Shutter
Submitted by Fred Straker on January 14, 2014 - 6:21pm
There are actually four different ways to snap a photo with the iPhone camera. Seasoned veterans of iPhone photography will already know these tricks, however newcomers to the device might find this tip useful. Each situation is different, and using one of the four methods below can help capture the perfect image.
The most obvious and commonly used shutter release button on the iPhone is directly in the Camera app. This large, white button always appears next to the physical home button in the camera preview. Taking a photo at the right moment is accomplished by touching the button on the screen.
In some cases, this can be a cumbersome exercise depending on how the iPhone is held. Cold or dry hands might not trigger the shutter release, risking a missed photo. When wearing gloves forget about it, the virtual shutter release button won't respond.
In this case, the physical volume up (+) and volume down (-) buttons can be used. Simply open the Camera app and snap photos every time one of these two buttons are pressed. When the iPhone is held horizontally like a point and shoot camera, the volume buttons can be oriented up for easy access.
This leads to the third way of releasing the shutter on the iPhone. When EarPods are plugged into the device, the volume up and down buttons built into the microphone also release the shutter. This means that any compatible headphone with volume controls can be used as a remote shutter release on the iPhone. Shooting pictures with the EarPod release means the iPhone camera will remain stable, avoiding any vibration or movement from pressing buttons on the device.
Finally, a camera timer can be set on the iPhone. While this feature is not available in the stock Camera app in iOS 7, there are free third-party apps that serve this function. One example, Self Timer Camera - TimerCamera is free on iTunes. Simply open the app, choose the length of time, and tap start.
After the allotted time elapses, the iPhone will snap the picture. Self timer is a great way to assemble a group of people for a photo, including the photographer!

The logic of affirmation-in-negation
Absolute nothingness
Historicity
Kyoto School
Heisig, J.W.
10.4324/9780415249126-G105-1
DOI: 10.4324/9780415249126-G105-1
Retrieved July 15, 2019, from https://www.rep.routledge.com/articles/thematic/kyoto-school/v-1
The Kyoto school of philosophy pivots around three twentieth-century Japanese thinkers who held chairs of philosophy or religion at Kyoto University: Nishida Kitarō (1870–1945), Tanabe Hajime (1885–1962) and Nishitani Keiji (1900–91). Its principal living representatives, who also held chairs at Kyoto until their retirement, are Takeuchi Yoshinori (1913–) and Ueda Shizuteru (1926–). The keynote of the school was struck by Nishida in his attempt, on the one hand, to offer a distinctively Eastern contribution to the Western philosophical tradition by bringing key Buddhist concepts to bear on traditional philosophical questions, and on the other, to enrich Buddhist self-understanding by submitting it to the rigours of European philosophy.
The name 'Kyoto school' was coined in 1932 by the Marxist philosopher Tosaka Jun (1900–45) to denounce what he saw as a bourgeois ideology – which he characterized as 'hermeneutical, transhistorical, formalistic, romantic, and phenomenological' – that had grown up around Nishida, Tanabe and their immediate disciples at the time. These latter included Miki Kiyoshi (1897–1945), Kosaka Masaaki (1900–69) and Koyama Iwao (1905–93) as well as the young Nishitani. At the time the Japanese state had taken its first definitive steps in the direction of a militaristic nationalism that would involve it in the 'fifteen-year war' with Asia and finally the West over the period 1930–45. As the leading philosophical movement in Japan, the Kyoto school was caught up in this history, although there was little unanimity among the responses of the principal figures.
Postwar criticisms and purges of the Japanese intelligentsia attached a certain stigma to the school's name, but later and more studied examination of those events, as well as the enthusiastic reception of translations of their works into Western languages, has done much to ensure a more balanced appraisal. Today, the philosophy of the Kyoto-school thinkers is recognized as an important contribution to the history of world philosophy whose 'nationalistic' elements are best recognized as secondary, or at least as an unnecessary trivialization of its fundamental inspirations.
As a school of thought, the common defining characteristics of the Kyoto school may be seen in an overlap of four nodal concerns: self-awareness, the logic of affirmation-in-negation, absolute nothingness and historicity.

Watch 'Drive Like Andretti,' Part II – existence after racing, with wine
Randolph Palmer
Drive Like Andretti follows Andretti – the simplest motive force ever to win the Indianapolis 500, Daytona 500, and a Formula 1 World Championship – as he recounts his incredible journey, beginning as a battle refugee in Italy and concluding because of the maximum famous racecar driver on Earth.
INDIANAPOLIS – David Letterman packed his luggage and left Indianapolis in 1975 to pursue his dream of turning into a stand-up comic. But Indiana in no way left his coronary heart, and his love affair with the Indianapolis 500 in no way dwindled.
Indiana usually feels like home – a form of.
"Every time I come here, I get lost, I don't apprehend things, I understand landmarks and I can discover my way to the speedway," Letterman instructed NBC Sports.Com Friday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "I know in which Broad Ripple High School is. I recognize wherein Monument Circle is. I understand in which Long's Doughnuts are off 16thStreet. I understand in which Shapiro's Deli is and a few landmarks like that.
"Other than that, it could be Tucson. I don't recognize.
"Burger Chef is gone, but is that truly a loss? It's extra like a public provider."
Letterman's profession became a part of television history. He became an everyday "visitor host" for Johnny Carson on NBC's Tonight Show and in 1979 changed into given a morning speak show on NBC. Letterman's show becomes short-lived for the time slot, however, it turned into reducing aspect and beforehand of its time.
He might go back to NBC in 1982 because the host of "Late Night with David Letterman" and his television profession took off. He left NBC in 1993 however persevered his talk show profession on CBS until his retirement from television when he taped his very last show on May 20, 2015.
Letterman continued his ownership stake in three-time CART champion and 1986 Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Rahal's crew. He co-owns Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing with Rahal and south suburban Chicago industrialist Michael Lanigan.
The crew won the 2004 Indianapolis 500 with Buddy Rice as the driving force.
INDYCAR PhotoLetterman makes infrequent visits to NTT IndyCar Series races. He attended the April 7 Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama and saw his team's driver, Takuma Sato, score an excellent victory after Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing swept the front row in qualifying with Sato and Graham Rahal.
That victory has boosted Letterman's confidence heading into Saturday's INDYCAR Grand Prix and the 103rdIndianapolis 500 on May 26.
"I'm extremely assured about the team heading into the Month of May," Letterman stated. "The starting grid in Alabama changed into a delight for me and the outcomes of that race became also a satisfaction. People who recognize racing have advised me there are things in place now so one can translate to the two races here.
"I suppose we are going to have a sturdy month."
Retirement has allowed Letterman to take a greater lively role inside the NTT IndyCar Series crew.
"Hanging out with Bobby is continually fun," Letterman said. "I'm going to be a hundred, so I've had a lot of Bobby time, and that is good. I've recognized Graham Rahal when you consider that he changed into a kid and studying Takuma Sato has been superb a laugh.
"Being at Barber Motorsports Park and beginning 1-2, you appearance one manner and spot the rest of the grid and look the alternative way and see the pace vehicle. You suppose, 'This is something that doesn't happen tons.' I cherished it and it reminds you of the entirety that is cool about this game."
Letterman's preferred recollections are when Bobby Rahal drove to victory in 1986 and whilst Rice won the 2004 Indianapolis 500 with Letterman watching Rice win.
"It becomes like any person threw a switch and up in the pit stand turned into Scott Roembke, and it commenced to rain, and they threw the yellow and pink flag out and Buddy became in the lead," Letterman recalled. "I checked out Scott Roembke like this (thumbs within the air) and he turned into 'No, no, no, no. There is still one lap to go.
"That changed into a lesson, no longer best for racing however for existence.
"When the checkered flag fell, it was like a transfer had been thrown. I was lit up like crazy. There turned into a group of human beings around me, nearly knowing me down and asking questions. There have been two thoughts that went thru me.
"One changed into the uncontrollable joy of having gained the Indianapolis 500. And the other becomes, 'Well, I had nothing to do with this.' But I cherished it.
"It went on, and on and on. That becomes the standout reminiscence.
"After experiencing that feeling, you need to win it every yr."
Letterman's son, Harry, is a race fan, however, there may be no manner he wants to see his son cross into racing.
As aways as the drivers on his personal group, he has remarkable admiration for Sato, who gained the 101st Indianapolis 500 for Andretti Autosport, and Graham Rahal.
"As a driving force, under any circumstance, no matter starting function, irrespective of positions, Graham will hunt you down and consume you alive," Letterman said. "The man will do it every weekend. It makes no difference if it's an oval, a road route, midpack or the front, he will hunt you down and eat you.
"If you don't suppose this is going to occur, you're making a big mistake. Plus, the guy is pretty accurate on the device.
"But what else impresses me is the kid is so mature. He is so considerate, nicely-spoken and articulate. He has a big coronary heart and is a gentleman. He is as right out of the car as he's inside the automobile."
