I laughed and nodded, hopeful that her words were an accurate description of our house, where the yard is often busy with children playing, and many a popsicle break has taken place on the front steps. My husband and I have realized that in this season of our lives, one of the greatest God-given assets we have for evangelism is our kids. Children attract other children like magnets, and God has allowed our kids to work as a natural catalyst in the process of sharing Jesus with the families all around us.
When we first faced the reality of relocating our family, I dreamed of finding a little home in the country. I imagined a tire swing over a gurgling stream in our backyard, my children feeding chickens and caring for fruit trees.
Lovely images, but my motivation at that time was more about protecting and isolating my family. My husband and I were recovering from a difficult ministry situation. We'd invested in relationships in our community for years, and part of me wondered if the love we'd poured out on others had been worth the effort. Perhaps we just needed a season of rest — some time and space to focus on the spiritual needs and enrichment of our own family.
But God challenged my spirit. As my husband and I talked about the relocation, the Lord reminded us of His heart for people, and of the opportunities that would be all around us if we chose to immerse ourselves in community. Jesus instructs us all to "Go and make disciples…" (Matthew 28: 19) and while disciple-making certainly applied to raising our children, we recognized that God had called us to apply this mandate to a broader spectrum of people.
People like myself— people who are energized by time spent alone— may create a home that functions more like a retreat center. This is natural, I think. I am thankful that our family has been able to weave times of rest into the fabric of our busy lives. We need these margins for the sake of our emotional and spiritual health, so we have the strength to show Christ's love to the world around us.
But while my husband and I are learning how to slow down to be refueled, we're also learning the importance of being intentional about building relationships. We may be busy spinning our wheels when it comes to our families' activity level, but that often goes nowhere when it comes to reaching our neighbors for Christ. It takes effort and sacrifice to move beyond the comfortable walls of our home and into the lives of those who need Jesus.
I love how writer (and mom) Kari Patterson speaks of this balance: "I want our home to be both a hub and a haven. A place where everyone feels comfortable coming, a place where paths cross, a place that is bustling with life and activity. And yes, a place where I can unapologetically turn off the porch light and lay low when my family needs calm and quiet."
When we moved into our new house in town, we began to cultivate new relationships with the people around us, one conversation at a time. That meant being the first to cross the yard when a neighbor was outside washing a car or shoveling a walk, and lingering for conversation. It meant walking next door with a plate of cookies or starting dialogues with other parents at the neighborhood park. And as our kids have made friends with other children on the block, we engage in conversations with the children who play in our yard and in our home. This often leads to meaningful interactions with their parents.
The "hub and haven" lifestyle of making disciples looks different for every family, depending on the culture and neighborhood they live in. But for us, being that relational hub often looks like a backyard full of kids having a water fight or a basement of giggling girls in pajamas and sleeping bags. We've simply decided to be present with our children — and extend that presence into the lives of their friends. We want our home to be a place where kids feel safe hanging out, a place where there are good listeners, a place where there is healthy fun and a nurturing environment. We want our home to be an extension of Christ's love — and then find openings where His truth might naturally be shared.
There are days when I would far rather finish a household task or sit on my back deck than go to a softball game or neighborhood birthday party. But when I choose to go I am blessed by my interactions with other parents. True, I don't always engage meaningfully with the opportunities before me. But I'm learning. Rather than sit with the same three moms on the sidelines, God prompts me to expand my circle of interaction to someone new. Rather than chat about the weather and other trivial matters, He gives me courage to ask real questions that deal with another's heart and life.
And the effort has been worth it. After just two years, this new community doesn't feel so new anymore. We have genuine friendships with neighbors on all sides. We've seen several friends on our street grow closer to the Lord, and we've been humbled to watch God's love touch the hardest of hearts. And as I look out at our backyard full of boys and girls, bicycles and water balloon fragments, I recognize that Christ's love is often demonstrated in small, simple ways. If a few Popsicles can communicate that love, then I want to make sure to keep my freezer fully stocked.

German schools should become digitized. But what exactly does this mean for schools and teachers? In a radio feature SWR2 Wissen spoke about the challenges of the digital classroom with pupils, teachers and experts from education and media research. IWM Director Prof. Dr. Ulrike Cress and her colleague, media technician Dr. Uwe Oestermeier, demonstrate how lessons can be digitally reinvented. In their contributions, Prof. Cress also outlined the digital learning spaces of the future which in her opinion are individually designed and open.
Endless complex sentences or tables full of numbers – for many, science is above all one thing: as dry as dust. But not for Dr. Danny Flemming of the Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien. As a science slammer, the IWM researcher even makes his audience laugh with topics like "Fragility of scientific findings".
At the first Science Slam of the Rotary Club Fürth, the psychologist and six other scientific entertainers competed for the audience's favour on March 30, 2019. In the sold-out hall of the Fraunhofer Institut the scientists engaged with 10 minutes slams from network technologies to German fun facts in an intriguing competition. As opener of the evening Flemming explained the guests "How people who have no idea about science understand scientific reports". Unfortunately, they often fail to understand: While the majority of people prefer clear and simple messages, researcher only make definite statements when results are unmistakable. With a lot of humour, Flemming unambiguously showed that most scientific findings are in fact ambiguous, that means fragile or only partially generalizable.
Whether witty, surprising or in a very sensitive manner, the speakers attracted the attention of the audience. And the enthusiasm was enormous not only in the hall. More than 100 visitors had to stay outside the doors of the institute due to the large crowd. Their consolation: A poetry slam under the open sky with the spontaneous slammers.
On March 29, about 40 project partners of the Leibniz-WissenschaftsCampus Tübingen met at the 5th campus meeting at the IWM. The aim of the event was to present the progress and challenges of the 16 research projects within an open format, to discuss them and to strengthen the cross-project exchange.
From the research focuses of the projects, four contexts can be identified which were addressed in two parallel sessions: During session 1 projects with a focus on touch as well as school and learning environments were presented, session 2 focused on projects on social media and the medical context.
The flexible format and thematic clustering of the projects offered the opportunity to network and to establish concrete links between the projects. Through the close exchange of experiences, suggestions and impulses for further research and ideas for joint research activities could be gained.
Every day we have to make decisions. Some are trivial; others are momentous for our personal or social life. Preferences or biased information might even affect our decisions and become pitfalls. Yet, digital devices can help us in overcoming such pitfalls as Inga Bause from the Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien (IWM) shows in her dissertation.
In her thesis "Can(`t) we help it? Overcoming Preferences and Understanding Biased Information Evaluation" the doctoral student tested whether functions of a multi-touch table can support the decision of a group. To test her hypotheses Inga Bause implemented functions on a multi-touch table that support the exchange of information and enable the joint structuring of information. While groups in the experimental condition processed a decision task with the technological support, the control group had a classic group discussion. In both groups not all members had the same relevant information for making the decision.
Inga Bause presented the results of her studies during the successful defense of her work on March, 28, 2019: Compared to the control group, the use of the multi-touch table increased discussions and the exchange of information. The postgraduate also showed that the biased evaluation of new information seems to hinge on associations between prior information and new information. Future research could therefore concentrate on determining specific mechanisms contributing to the effectiveness of the technological support functions, for example by investigating how virtually sharing prior information affects its evaluation.
Regardless of their official status, many universities throughout Germany are increasingly emphasising their "excellence". Universities also expect from their students "excellent" performance. But how do such expectations affect students? Dr. Annika Scholl of the IWM and her research lab Social Processes investigated this topic in two studies that have now been published in the renowned Journal of Experimental Social Psychology. On the basis of a survey of 500 students of a German university, the research team of Dr. Scholl showed what can counteract the pressure to be excellent.

From March 12 to 13, the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) hosted the Bildungsforschungstagung (Education Research Conference) in Berlin. Scientists, practitioners, politicians and association members followed the invitation to discuss the educational world of the future as well as its challenges. Among them: Prof. Dr. Katharina Scheiter, head of the lab Multiple Representations at the IWM who showed with her lecture on orchestrations of digital educational processes how research has to develop in order to support digitization in schools with useful results. "In the classroom of the future, the potentials of digital media will be realized and connected with analogue approaches without losing sight of pedagogy," says Scheiter about the future educational world.
In addition, IWM expert Dr. Anne Thillosen presented the Meta project "Digitization of the Education Sector" (Digi-EBF) in the context of the conference. The initiative will review the current state of research on digital learning issues over the next four years. The IWM focuses on the evaluation of teacher training. The kick-off meeting at the BMBF conference 2019 offered the project members the opportunity to get to know each other personally for the first time and to establish a closer network of the Meta project.
How can we make use of digital media in schools? This question does not only concern the researches at the IWM but also politics. Not least in view of the Digitalpakt recently passed by the Federal Government, member of the Bundestag Pascal Kober (FDP) informed himself at the IWM at the beginning of March about the potentials of digitization in schools as well as in museums and the medical sector. On the basis of the applications of the IWM, the vice-chair of Baden-Wuerttemberg's FDP, together with a six-member delegation of his party, was able to gain insights into the practical use of digital media in classrooms and hospitals. At the TüDILab, the IWM's digital classroom, experts of the IWM showed the guests how the effects of learning tools can be investigated and how teachers can be trained in media-based teaching. Afterwards, the FDP members could try out several applications involving the use of multi-touch tables.
"I touched it, it's mine now!" was the title of a presentation by Lisa Rabl, doctoral student at the IWM, at the Science Slam of the University of Tübingen at the end of February, where she showed the audience that research can be both understandable and exciting. At the event, which was organised by the Graduate Academy of the university in cooperation with the faculties, six slammers competed for the loudest applause in the auditorium of the Kupferbau. The slam of the junior resreacher focused on the ownership effect: It says that when people touch objects, they are perceived as more positive, since the touch leads to the perception of a personal sense of ownership of these objects. Lisa Rabl's slam was honoured by the audience with several cheering waves and strong applause. "Although it was quite frightening to present the topic in front of more than 650 persons, it was still a great experience! The audience had fun, the slammers had fun. I can recommend it to everyone who would like to try it out for themselves!" says Rabl about the evening.
The German Literature Archive Marbach celebrated the inauguration of its new director, Professor Dr. Sandra Richter, with a ceremony on February 14. At press conference held in advance the Germanist and professor for literature made it clear, that she likes to turn the archive into a literary think tank.
She has already introduced the "Netzwerk literarische Erfahrung" (Network for Literary Experience), an association with the Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien, Tübingen, the Freien Deutschen Hochstift, Frankfurt, and the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, also located in Frankfurt. The network is also a reaction to the Stavanger Declaration on the future of reading which was co-signed by the IWM.
The tasks of the new network include the description and definition of literary experience, the empirical and in its methods plural investigation of readings (reading research), literary exhibitions and their visitors, and the investigation of the public reception of such phenomena. "This is an exciting task, because reading research has so far focused primarily on short, non-literary texts or the medium itself rather than on literary pieces," comments network member Professor Dr. Stephan Schwan on the project. The deputy director of the IWM would like to bring the institute's expertise on cognitive-psychological processes of reading into the network.
From January 29 to 31, 2019, the Messe Karlsruhe was all about digital learning: At the 27th LEARNTEC - the trade fair for digital learning in schools, universities and in the corporate area - the focus was on applications, innovations and best practice examples for the use of digital media in education. With the two-day programme university@LEARNTEC this year, a separate forum was dedicated to the digitisation of university teaching for the fifth time already.
For the first time, a full-day conference was offered at the trade fair in addition to the lecture programme. Both event days were organized by e-teaching.org, the e-learning information portal of the Leibniz-Institut für Wissensmedien (IWM), in cooperation with the Hochschulnetzwerk Digitalisierung der Lehre Baden-Württemberg (HND BW) and the Virtuelle Hochschule Bayern (vhb). "In recent years, the forum university@LEARNTEC has established itself well," Anne Thillosen, head of e-teaching.org, sums up. "Around 170 participants at the symposium, the well-attended lecture programme during the fair and a consistently positive response show just how important the topic 'university' is in connection with digital media".
Wikipedia is for many people the first step to close a knowledge gap. For others, it is a platform to collect their own knowledge in articles, to correct and update entries – and they do this voluntarily. But what motivates Wikipedia editors to join the platform if there is no obvious compensation for their efforts?
Seren Yenikent from IWM answers this question in her dissertation "Understanding the effects of topic factors and threat exposure on motivation to participate in knowledge artefacts: The case of Wikipedia". Previous studies have identified several encouraging factors (e.g. fun, ideology, community aspect) as reasons for Wikipedia participation. The PhD student now found that general (i.e., topic familiarity and controversiality) and specific characteristics (i.e., sentiment and psychological content) of a topic played significant roles in Wikipedia motivation. Yenikent presented her findings in the successful defence of her work last Wednesday: Using two laboratory studies and one Wikipedia text analysis study, she showed that working with known and controversial issues that had socio-political implications increases engagement with Wikipedia articles. A closer examination on psychological content showed that affective (positive and negative emotion) and drive states (achievement, reward, power, affiliation and risk) were the best predictors of article production. Yenikent's results support the human-oriented aspect of the Wikipedia platform that is distinctively fostered by editors' psychological, social and emotional interests.
"My smartphone, for example, knows more about what I do than my wife," the renowned US professor David Williamson Shaffer opened his guest lecture at the Tübingen IWM on January 15 and introduced the audience so vividly to the subject of Quantitative Ethnography: Turning Big Data into Real Understanding. "In the age of Big Data, there is much more information available about what people do and how they do it than ever before," said the learning science expert from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. "The challenge is to gain meaning from these large amounts of data, where traditional methods such as significance testing find only arbitrary patterns and are therefore not applicable," Shaffer continues. New statistical methods are therefore needed to allow researchers, for example, not only to determine whether learning tools are effective for students, but also to show why.
David Shaffer hopes to solve this problem with a new method: Quantitative ethnography which he presented in his lecture. It merges statistical and ethnographic analyses that were previously carried out separately. For this purpose, Shaffer and his colleagues are developing the Epistemic Network Analysis (ENA) tool to model how codes are linked in a data set. ENA models visualize a system of interconnected codes, enabling researchers to quantify and test the differences between them using statistical methods. The model should then, for example, identify critical components that are decisive for the success of a learning tool and point out correlations between the components.
"These models will certainly become even more relevant in the future as we try to understand learning and knowledge processes through Big Data," says Nora Umbach, scientific assistant for method consulting at the IWM. She therefore expects them to be of direct relevance for research at the IWM. "All the more reason for us to be pleased that David Shaffer and his research group will cooperate with us in the future in order to support the institute in the application of his methods," states Nora Umbach.
What happens in the TueDiLab (Tübingen Digital Teaching Lab)? The research magazine attempto! of the University of Tübingen has investigated this question. In the current issue, the magazine reports on a lesson in the high-tech classroom of the IWM. Prof. Dr. Katharina Scheiter, head of Multiple Representations, explains how digital media and state-of-the-art technology are used to research and teach the lessons of the future.
Prof. Dr. Dr. Friedrich W. Hesse has been appointed as Presidium Commissioner for the Global Learning Council (GLC) by the executive board of the Leibniz Association for an initial period of three years. The GLC is a globally active, cross-sector group of thought leaders from science, industry and non-profit organizations in the field of the effective use of technologies to enhance learning and understanding.
Friedrich Hesse is Scientific Co-Chair of the GLC and together with the President of the Leibniz Association, Matthias Kleiner, GLC board member. In addition, Mr. Hesse will continue to participate in the Leibniz Association's strategic field of digitization as a representative of the executive board for an initial period of three years. Within the scope of his participation, Mr. Hesse will, among other things, continue to chair the working group "Digitization in Transition".
With effect to January 1, 2019, the head of the IWM, Ulrike Cress, has been elected new deputy speaker of the Tübingen Research Campus. "The TRC is a forum of exchange between the different research organisations and provides a basis for joint activities", says Ulrike Cress on the advantages of the cooperation. The Tübingen Research Campus founded in 2016 aims at intensifying the cooperation between the local research institutions and offers joint services to the scientists who like to come to Tübingen.

WPP expands public affairs reach in Canada
December 15, 2008 by Chris Daniels
TORONTO: Two of Hill & Knowlton Canada's top executives were recently tapped to lead a new public affairs division at sister agency GCI Canada, as part of a strategy by WPP to expand its public affairs reach in Canada.
GCI's new public affairs division will be led by Calgary-based Ken Boessenkool, who was national practice director of public affairs at H&K Canada. He will be joined by former H&K colleague Jamie Carroll, who will assume the role of VP from Ottawa.
Michael Coates, president and CEO of H&K Canada, said WPP is "looking to expand its market presence in public affairs, and you can't do that without giving up two of your best. What I had to do was bring in two other top-flight, high-quality people to H&K." Those two people are Ian Brodie, former chief-of-staff to Prime Minister Stephen Harper from 2006 to 2008, and David Collenette, former minister of national defense. Both will serve as senior counsellor.
Marion MacKenzie, president of GCI Canada, said the new division was "accelerated" by the fact that, in October, the agency became part of the H&K network of agencies. "I'd been thinking about opening a public affairs practice over the last three years," said MacKenzie. "Most of our clients, even if they are in the consumer space, face regulatory, environmental, packaging, stakeholder, and product safety issues."
Boessenkool is well-known in political circles, having been a policy advisor and strategist to Prime Minister Harper. In an e-mail to PRWeek, he said, "[It's] an amazing opportunity to build something new from the ground up in a market where there is lots of work to go around."

Chess: A Game of Faith NOT Religion
Chess is not an inherently religious game. But it is indeed a game of faith. Looking at almost any chess board from any period of time there may be religious symbols on the board, or the pieces. Most games today have the king wearing a Christian cross atop of the crown. Pieces from the Muslim world might have no specific outward form. The bishop, knight etc. may just be various heights but not really resemble anything specific. This is due to the Prophet Muhammad's stern warnings against idol worship.
Anyone looking at the games global impact would be hard pressed to ignore the roles that so many religions have had on the game. On the Islamic impact of chess during the Moorish rule of Spain, author David Shenk wrote "The game seemed to speak directly to the new Muslim ideals- and found its way into the progressive rhetoric of the day". Indeed, the first complete book on chess was written by a Muslim in 840 AD.
Judaism has a rich history with chess as well. Abraham ibn Ezra was a Spanish poet and medieval Jewish scholar. He wrote a beautiful poem about the game saying "I will sing a song of battle...Yet no swords are drawn in warfare". Jewish contributions to the game are many. The hypermodern theme of controlling the center comes from Hebrew chess masters. It was written that "Rabbis have incessantly debated the game's virtue, some objecting that it took too much time away from scholarship but most praising chess and encouraging it among youth as a tool to focus the intellect."
Christianity brought its own contributions. From the introduction of the queen (replacing the Muslim Vizer/General), to the introduction of the move called the Ruy Lopez (named after the Spanish priest who invented it) chess been a long time fixture of western culture and art.
Still, chess is a game beyond the dogma of all the religions that have affected its global footprint. Without forcing a specific doctrine onto the mind of the player, one is still forced by the rough and tumble nature of the game to believe in a positive future. Then ones faith is challenged to make that positive vision of the future a reality. I believe that the natural spark of faith that chess inspires influenced almost all religions to embrace the game. But again, chess does this free of dogma.
I often played some of my best games at O'Connell High with a student we will call Che. He is a tough kid from the hard streets of San Francisco's Mission District. He has a beautiful smile but rarely displays it. Che talks less than he smiles and dresses in a way that makes him easy to loose in a crowd. Its deliberate. Che won't let me take his picture. I don't know if that request it because of his shyness, or he does not want enemies on the street, or police, to have a clean look at him. Most of the people he hung out with a few years ago are in jail, or were expelled from O'Connell. He walks alone a lot, keeping a low profile from students as well as teachers.
Everything you'll never know about Che's psychology not found through conversation, are displayed in his play on the board. His style is aggressive and deceptive. He never backs down. Any game with him is pure pressure from start to finish. I actually stopped playing with him for a bit because it was demoralizing.
But two weeks ago, for reasons I cannot explain, I decided to go head to head with Che. The woodshop teacher asked me to watch his room for a minute. Soon as Che saw me his dark eyes smiled as he spoke "Yo Deez (my nickname is O.G. Deez- a shortening of the Disa in Adisa) lets play man. C'mon man, lets play a game real quick." The teacher was like "I don't care, here is my board, I'll be back."
I could not duck the challenge in front of so many other kids. "Thats the chess dude, lets see if Che can beat him" one of them said as he pulled up a chair.
I said "OK, but Che usually kills me, so this should be a short game."
As soon as I sat down though, for reasons I cannot explain, I had faith that I would win. Without planning anything I just dove in, and did a variation of what they call the fried liver (so-called becoause it a nasty attack). This forced a bunch of holes in Che's pawn structure that allowed me to follow it with a punishing queen raid. He was shocked...I was shocked.
But now I had to follow my shock with some awe. I surgically removed his pieces and threatening repeatedly. Che stayed focus, but the initial queen raid did too much damage. He refused to die quietly though. Before the finish he snagged a knight of mine I left hanging in the fog of stress that it took to win. "Good game man, I cannot believe it" Che said as he shook my hand. The bell rang as we shook hands. "I want another game tomorrow" he said as he walked out.
A few days later we played after school. It was about an hour long game. Che was his usual, non-emotional self driving in for the kill. I secured an air tight pawn structure that locked down my control of the center. As I did that I lined up a rook on the A file trying to bash in his fianchettoed pawns and bishop. As I distracted him with the pressure on the A file, I played a risky game of chicken with my king, knight and rook on the E file so I could free up my rook on the G file. Eventually, I ran that rook to the 7th rank. In the middle of his stifled attack on my king with his queen I ran my G file rook behind his pawn and now had two rooks on the A file breathing down the neck of his king with deadly intent. He never saw it coming. Faith had got me through, again!
After my rooks won the day we laughed a bit. He promised me another game. I reminded him he wins seven games to any two I win so he should not feel too bad about it. Che told me in whispered tones after the game that he stopped smoking weed and he's taking after school classes to ensure he graduates this year. Thats the most he's told me about his life in a long time. We walked away from the board that day with a new sense of faith in what we could do on and off the board with our lives. Faith in winning a game with little chance of victory, opened doors of the heart, giving way to new levels of communication.

Utilities & Manufacturers: Pass Inspections Every Time With Knowledge Sharing TechnologyIf you're interested, check out ExpandShare's eLearning Services to see how your program can be an epic success.
Inspections are a critical part of any business that maintains complex equipment or deals with mission critical processes. Accreditations, certifications and licenses that are necessary to remain operational can be lost if inspections are failed.
Old equipment requires legacy knowledge that might not be shared throughout the organization and is gradually lost as veteran team members leave the company.
Procedures are followed inconsistently, which means they are either misunderstood or not taken seriously.
Processes are bogged down with paperwork and antiquated processes. There are many paper job aids and checklists that quickly fall out of date. Completed paperwork is lost or stuck in a pile waiting to be entered into a system.
Manual processes and data entry create significant lags in reporting and a large margin for human error.
The low-tech nature of these procedures creates an inability to monitor employees as closely as desired to avoid issues.
Technical jobs have relatively frequent turnover, creating gaps in knowledge between new and experienced team members.
The current system likely doesn't provide adequate information to diagnose issues, make timely decisions and swiftly make adjustments. It's difficult to know where the bottlenecks are and how to fix them.
While you may have never considered (or heard of!) a work process or knowledge sharing platform, it is your best operations management tool. Specialized technology can help overcome all of the challenges outlined above by closing knowledge gaps and tracking individual employee activity and performance.
A platform is custom-built for each organization and accessible anywhere there is an internet connection, from any device.
Step-by-step how-to checklists are housed here rather than distributed via paper. Employees access it at their workstation or in the field on a mobile device.
The checklist is completed electronically as the employee completes the procedure. The checklist guides the user through a process while at the same time verfying and tracking completion of the steps.
Supplemental content, like job aids, photos and videos, are accessible from within the checklist if an employee needs additional support. Old equipment, infrequently used procedures and new employees no longer pose the problem they once did.
Users submit completed checklists electronically, which are then immediately added to a data mine for reporting.
Managers use the platform to view custom reports to monitor individual users, teams or entire business units for safety, efficiency, team activity and performance.
Checklists help prevent costly errors and reports help managers uncover where problems lie, so they can be resolved in a timely manner.
Reports can be compiled in near-real time because there is no manual rekeying of data from a paper checklist. This also reduces the risk of human error.

As we look around and notice the clutter and dust that has gathered over the Winter we start to put together our Spring Cleaning list of activities. One of the best places to start, at least for business owners and managers, is by taking a good look at the Google Business listing for your company. It has been reported that 20% of all Google Searches are for local business, TWENTY PERCENT! That's a huge chunk of search traffic and one of the most important results that show up on a search is your Google Business listing, is it current? Is it correct, are there recent and relevant posts to help boost your visibility? How do you know??
It's time for Spring Cleaning! When we start our cleaning spree at home it's usually after we notice that cobwebs have formed or dust has gathered in corners and then we re-look at the places we have gotten complacent about over the prior months and notice how things have gotten dusty or cluttered right before our eyes without notice. It can happen in business as well! Often we get so caught up in the busy work of running our business we don't pay attention to all the little details that unfortunately can be the FIRST things a potential customer may notice! This dealership's Meet Our Team page has definitely been neglected, how does yours look? Are there staff members that no longer work for you there, or perhaps new team members that haven't been added yet? Now is the time to take a step back, look over all the pages of your dealerships website, take a few minutes to open your stores social media profiles and check some of your business listings through the eyes of a new visitor. Is the message consistent, current and really what you want being said? If not, call your Social Media company or, call Mike theCarGuy and together we can SUPERCHARGE the Social in your dealerships Social Media!

If you are paying a 3rd party to post on Social Media for your company do you know what they are posting and saying on behalf of your company? Are you sure?
If you aren't inspecting what you are expecting you could end up in an awkward situation having to answer to your followers why your company made statements that may appear to be uncaring or even rude.

Today, I'm a happy camper. I've hacked my HP TouchPad and got Android 2.3 Gingerbread running on it because the CyanogenMod 7.1 Alpha release for ToufhPad is here!
Once you read the instructions, the install process is fairly simple (I mean, simple for that kind of stuff ;)).
Almost everything works: wifi, bluetooth, sound, 3D acceleration… It's very, very cool! Of course, it's alpha so there are bugs. It crashes or reboot without notice but hey, it's only the beginning!
If you're lucky as I am and grabbed a HP TouchPad WiFi/32Go for 99€, after installing the gapps package (which installs Android Market) you'll have a full featured dual core Android tablet for the fraction of the real price!
The files and intructions required to install Android/CyanogenMod 7.1 can be found on the RootzWiki forums.
On the pictures you can see the iPad/TouchPad Stand I've build using wood sticks and rubber bands, inspired by this one The Pencil iPad Stand. It's pretty cool, convinient and costs nothing!

Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi Posted an Emotional Message with an Update on Her Battle with RA
The Shahs of Sunset cast member offered new insight into her health these days.
Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi has always been open with fans about her struggles with rheumatoid arthritis. The Shahs of Sunset cast member has had RA for more than a decade and recently shared on Instagram how she is doing these days with it.
"Having an autoimmune disease like RA is hard enough, but when it attacks you hard while you're pregnant and trying to raise a child, it's pure torture!! I've had RA for 13 years now and it's been nothing shy of a crazy roller-coaster ride. These 2 videos show the progress I've made in the last year. Doctors have to regularly extract inflammation (that yellow sappy stuff) to alleviate pain and stiffness," she explained. "Now imagine I have this inflammation in 42 joints all over my body. The second video clip is from today and you can hear my dad in the background trying to lighten the mood by telling a joke lol! So for everyone who talks s--t that my son has a nanny and my parents are always helping me, try walking in these shoes and tell me how you champion thru it like I do."
She added the hashtag "F--k RA."
A post shared by Golnesa "GG" Gharachedaghi (@gg_golnesa)
GG welcomed her son, Elijah, back in 2020. During and after her pregnancy, she shared how having RA affected her while she was pregnant and, later on, how being on RA medications meant she couldn't breastfeed her son.
Catch Up on Shahs of Sunset Season 9 in the Free Bravo App!
In addition to her honesty about her RA, GG has also been candid about her hearing loss, which she was born with. And earlier this summer, the Shahs of Sunset cast member opened up about how her dog, ZsaZsa, assists her with that as she raises her son.
"My Rottweiler is a Service Dog. She is my ears. She tells me when my son cries. She tells me when someone is at my door. She tells me whatever she hears because she knows I cannot hear it," GG wrote on Twitter. "Imagine needing an animal to help you help your own child. I love you ZsaZsa."
Part 2 of the Shahs of Sunset Season 9 reunion will air on Sunday, August 29 at 9/8c.

UAE: Abuses at Home, Abroad
Prominent Critic Detained; Possible War Crimes in Yemen
Hadrami elite forces guard Mukalla from Al-Qaeda by creating check-points.
(Beirut) – The United Arab Emirates was involved in abuses at home and abroad in 2017, arresting one of the last outspoken rights critics in the country and playing a role in torture and disappearances in Yemen, Human Rights Watch said today in its World Report 2018.
In March, the UAE detained Ahmed Mansoor, an award-winning human rights activist, who had for years defended and spoken out on behalf of people the UAE was arbitrarily detaining or rounding up in its routine crackdowns on dissent. Mansoor is facing speech-related charges that include using social media websites to "publish false information that harms national unity."
"The government and the many public relations firms it pays try to paint the UAE as a modern, reform-oriented country," said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "This rosy vision will remain fiction so long as the UAE refuses to release the activists, journalists, and critics it has unjustly jailed, like Ahmed Mansoor."
In the 643-page World Report, its 28th edition, Human Rights Watch reviews human rights practices in more than 90 countries. In his introductory essay, Executive Director Kenneth Roth writes that political leaders willing to stand up for human rights principles showed that it is possible to limit authoritarian populist agendas. When combined with mobilized publics and effective multilateral actors, these leaders demonstrated that the rise of anti-rights governments is not inevitable.
Labor abuses persist in the UAE. Migrant construction workers face serious exploitation. The UAE adopted a domestic workers law in September providing labor rights for migrant workers for the first time, but some provisions are weaker than those provided to other workers under the country's labor law.
The UAE discriminates based on sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation. In August, the UAE sentenced two Singaporean nationals, who had been arrested in an Abu Dhabi shopping mall, to one year in prison "for attempting to resemble women." An appeals court converted their sentence to a fine and deportation.
The UAE is a leading member of the Saudi-led coalition operating in Yemen. Human Rights Watch has documented 87 apparently unlawful coalition attacks, some most likely war crimes, that have killed nearly 1,000 civilians since March 2015. Coalition members, including the UAE, have provided insufficient information about the role their forces are playing in the campaign to determine which country's forces are responsible for unlawful attacks.
The UAE has been implicated in abuse in Yemen, including by supporting abusive Yemeni forces carrying out security campaigns in southern Yemen. The UAE operates at least two informal detention facilities in Yemen. Its officials appear to have ordered the continued detention of people held there despite release orders, as well as forcibly disappearing people, and moving high-profile detainees outside the country, based on Human Rights Watch research. Former detainees and family members have reported abuse or torture inside facilities run by the UAE and UAE-backed forces. Yemeni activists who have criticized these abuses have been threatened, harassed, detained, and disappeared. The US works closely with the UAE in Yemen.
"Whenever the US and others praise the UAE for its critical counterterrorism support in places like Yemen, they paper over a much darker reality – of disappearances, torture, and detainee abuse, and their own potential complicity in these abuses," Whitson said.

Anxiety: Can CBD Help You Find Calm Within Chaos?
7th October 2021 25th November 2021
In such a rapidly changing and connected world, being able to take a step back and breathe is a valuable ability to have, allowing us to diffuse stress and anxiety. It helps us to look at an issue from a different perspective, or allows us to mentally prepare for a potentially adverse upcoming situation.
Unfortunately that's very much easier said than done for many people, as the pressures of day-to-day life can stack up all too easily and too quickly, and can often times remove the opportunity to have some time to oneself.
For some of us, anxiety and stress can then set in, compounding the issue further with irrational thoughts of worry. It then becomes all the harder to combat this anxiety through relaxation practices, as it can feel impossible to shift your thoughts away from the central cause of distress. On top of this, excessive anxiety and stress can then start impacting our bodies and minds in different ways, both in the short and long-terms. This can range from heart palpitations, breathing problems, and fatigue, through to migraines, memory problems, and a weakened immune system. These side-effects go to show just how crucial it can be for your wellbeing to be able to let go every now and then, to unwind, and to allow your body and mind some time to reset and recover.
So what are we worried about?
Firstly, it's important to say that anxiety is natural, and to a degree it's a necessary emotion, as it allows our body to respond to danger in a "fight or flight" mode. Additionally, anxiety can often times motivate us to deal with difficult challenges in a creative manner, however it's when anxiety becomes persistent and can start impacting day-to-day life in a detrimental way that it becomes a real issue.
It's very difficult to say what exactly are the main causes of anxiety and anxiety disorders, and a majority of the research into the field of anxiety causes show that there are a whole multitude of potential reasons. These can range from environmental factors, social factors, self-identity issues, and genetic factors, to name just a handful.
Over the last year there have been multiple studies into the rates of mental health conditions across the UK population, with reports showing that around 1 in 5 adults experienced some form mental health concern, with forms of anxiety disorders (such as Generalised Anxiety Disorder) being the most common. The rates heavily spiked for adults aged 16-39, with an increase of over 150% in the first 3 months of 2021, to nearly 1 in 3 people in that age range citing symptoms.
But while there has been a rapid increase in rates of anxiety very recently, these rates have been slowly creeping up for just over a decade now, and mainly in the 18-34 age range. Between 2008 and 2020, studies show an increase in diagnoses for anxiety disorders of between double and triple. This can be linked to many different factors, however social media has repeatedly been considered a major factor, as there is a tendency to always be comparing ourselves to every other post that we scroll past.
Truth be told, ultimately there is no definitive answer for why there has been an increase in anxiety over the past decade or so. There have been major events that could cause a spike in diagnoses temporarily, however that would typically flatten out rather than continually increase over the course of a decade. Everyone will have their own causes for feeling anxious, so trying to universally pin down one reason to a long-lasting and consistent increase is a fruitless effort. Everyone will feel anxious over different things, and everyone will have their own way to combat it.
Can CBD help with anxiety?
There has been a number of studies conducted into CBD and its impact on stress and anxiety, especially looking at PTSD, GAD, Social Anxiety Disorder, OCD, and Panic disorder. For these disorders, studies show positive outcomes, however we cannot say that it definitely will help. That being said, in our experience, attempting to combat stress and anxiety is the main reason why people turn to CBD. Many people find that CBD can have a very relaxing effect on people, and can help allow people to mentally take a step back and collect their thoughts. Additionally, our customers who regularly take our CBD oils who suffer from anxiety or panic attacks say that they are less prone to those attacks, even when faced with a situation that would typically trigger such a response.
What else can we do to be less anxious?
This is inherently a very tricky question to answer, as mentioned earlier, what is relaxing and de-stressing for one person might be the complete wrong thing for another. The absolute first step in combatting anxiety is to figure out what the root of your anxiety is, as well as what methods of relaxation and unwinding would work for you as an individual. A few methods people commonly use to alleviate stress and anxiety are:
Try talking about your feelings to friends, family, or a health professional. Sometimes just talking to someone can help straighten things out in your mind.
Make sure you have a well-rounded diet with regular meals to keep your energy levels stable.
Take a time-out. Find something relaxing to do that allows you to take a step back (e.g. Yoga, listening to music, meditation, etc.)
Understand that it's impossible for one person to control everything.
Exercise often, as many studies show that there are anxiety-relieving benefits to exercise.

Q: What is the logic for the automatic creation and update of "standard" report types for custom objects? Question
What is the detailed logic for when a "standard" report type is created/updated for custom objects or custom relationships?
Background
When custom objects and custom master detail relationships are created Salesforce will often automatically create "standard" report types. For example, I create a new object "Project" I get a new report type "Projects". If I created a master detail from Project to Account I get a new report type "Accounts w/Projects".
These "standard" report types are preferable to custom report types as they don't require maintaining the set of fields that can be returned in the report. In contrast custom report types require updates whenever a new field gets added to the account or projects object before the new field can be used in reports.
However, this automatic creation doesn't seem to occur in all cases. For example, if I create the master detail from projects to account in a sandbox and then deploy to production the "standard" "Accounts w/Projects" report type doesn't seem to get created.

A: Based on some light reverse engineering.
The "standard" report types are created whenever the enable reports option is checked on a custom object, or a master detail relationship to the reportable object is created, EXCEPT if there is a custom report type that includes the same relationships.
To "reset" things, delete any custom report types for the object you're working with, uncheck 'enable reports' on the object, and then recheck. You'll then have "standard" report types that may have been missing before.
And unlike "custom" report types, "standard" report types include all fields for the object by default and hence don't require maintenance when new fields are added.
For some additional discussion see https://success.salesforce.com/answers?id=90630000000D1oTAAS
Note that there are a large number of variations in the order of things, particularly when your considering deployments. The above behavior may not apply in some cases.

A: One thing I noticed today is that the standard report type seems to be child - parent, whereas creating custom report types is parent + child + grandchild + great grandchild.
So for standard report types, so you can only cross filter on child object, and you have to create a custom report type to cross filter on the parent.
This is just for objects in a regular lookup relationship.  Its possible that master-detail or junction objects behave differently.  Would love to see this documented in more detail, just so I could understand it better.

In Honor of Halloween: Haunted Places round the Globe
29 October 2015 · by Margit Grobbel
Halloween lurks around the corner! Around the world, the creepiest of celebrations is primarily a tradition for expatriates from the US and Canada. In many places, the festival is quickly gaining in popularity as an import from American pop culture — mostly among teens who appreciate any excuse for costume parties or horror movie nights.
Personally, I associate the date with preparing the family plot for All Saints' Day and rather prefer turnip ghosts to jack o'lanterns. However, my inner ten-year-old still enjoys a good spooky story — such as the folklore and urban legends associated with these "haunted" places across the globe.
If you are an expat living nearby or will be in the neighborhood during your travels, you could give ghost-hunting a try. Or simply enjoy the sights.
Himeji Castle, Japan
Himeji-jô is probably the most splendid castle from the samurai era: the well-preserved fortifications and extensive castle grounds recently reopened for the crowds of awed visitors after extensive renovation works. But the castle doesn't just boast ingenious defenses and an aesthetic appeal that has given rise to its nickname, "White Heron Castle". It even has its own haunted well.
If you listen closely, you might hear the mourning cries of poor Okiku: a maid serving in the household, she wasn't only wrongly blamed for the loss of a precious porcelain plate, but also killed and thrown into the castle's well. Perhaps you'll get the chance to watch the traditional puppet play based on the story.
Highgate Cemetery, London
One of Britain's most beautiful cemeteries, the burial ground in northern London is both a site of historical interest and a luxuriously overgrown nature reserve. Celebrities buried here include Victorian women writers George Eliot and Christina Rossetti, Douglas Adams of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fame, and Karl Marx.
However, it's not the specter of communism that's haunting the necropolis. In the 1960s and 1970s, the graveyard became associated with ghost sightings, occult rites, and sundry supernatural phenomena. Not one, but two self-proclaimed "paranormal researchers" insist on having performed exorcisms and vampire hunts there.
Well. The scariest thing in the general vicinity is probably the rental price index for Highgate and Hampstead.
The Princess Theatre, Melbourne
Contrasted with the alleged satanic rituals and vampire kings of Highgate Cemetary, the resident ghost of Melbourne's Princess Theatre seems almost quaint — though the story is based on a real-life tragedy. In the 19th century, Frederick Frederici, a British opera singer on tour in the colonies, collapsed when exiting the stage after the last scene of Gounod's popular opera Faust. He died of a heart attack at the age of only 37.
The fact that Frederici, a celebrated baritone, was playing the part of Mephistopheles, the devil dragging Faust's soul into hell, may have suggested the stories of his haunting the building. That, or the well-known tendency of theater folks to be a superstitious lot. For years, a seat in the auditorium was kept vacant for him.
One can only hope that Frederici — who owed his success to the comic operas of Gilbert and Sullivan — is just as fond of modern musical theater. Today, the Princess Theatre is both one of the city's iconic landmarks and the local stage for hit productions in the vein of Mamma Mia!, Hairspray, or (aptly enough) The Phantom of the Opera.
Isla de las Muñecas, Mexico City
This island in the borough of Xochimilco is definitely not the right place to visit for anyone suffering from automatonophobia (fear of humanoid figures), pediophobia (fear of dolls), or pupaphobia (fear of puppets) — or anyone who, like me, was forced to sit through a viewing of Chucky: Child's Play at the tender age of thirteen.
The isle — more precisely, the chinampa, a plot of artificially created arable land — is located amidst Xochimilco's famous system of waterways. Even from one of the brightly colored gondolas, it's easy to spot the broken dolls hanging from the branches.
The practice was started by a Don Julian, a local loner who "rescued" cast-off toys from the rubbish and used them to adorn his island. He made several outrageous claims concerning the dolls: he was trying to appease the soul of a drowned girl he'd seen floating in the water; he wanted to ward off evil spirits, or that the dolls came alive at night.
Though these stories (including the one about the victim of drowning) are all figments of an eccentric recluse's imagination, the dolls look rather creepy. After Don Julian died in 2001, one of his relatives has been running the chinampa as an odd tourist attraction.
To be honest, you'd have to ply me with plenty of tequila before I'd set foot there.
Bran Castle, Brașov
If you have 95 million euros in spare cash tucked away in a secret stash, you'll be able to purchase your very own haunted castle. Castelul Bran near Brașov in central Romania, better known as "Dracula's Castle", is up for grabs.
While the restored 14th-century fortress is, without a doubt, extremely picturesque, looking like a bona fide fairy-tale, there's just a tiny catch: there's no direct connection to the Dracula myth whatsoever.
It is unclear which, if any, location, author Bram Stoker had in mind when he described his hero visiting the ominous count's mansion in the Carpathian Mountains. Moreover, the historical "Dracula", Vlad III "the Impaler" Dr�culea, Prince of Wallachia, has probably never stayed in this place at all.
Owing to its romanticized architecture and the impressive scenery, Bran Castle is one of Romania's most beloved tourist attractions, with nearly 200,000 visitors per year. However, the well-deserved popularity does have a darkish backstory.
The Dracula-themed tourism is partly due to the fascination of Communist dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu with Vlad III. He regarded the voivode as a strict, but just national hero and co-opted that image for the personality cult of his dictatorship.
Maybe this example of propagandist myth-making is a salutary reminder that the most frightening tales from history are human rather than supernatural.

@ Lorrain
Bran Castle is not just very beaoutiful, but has nothing scary inside and nothing to do with vampires. It was the charmfull residence of the former Romainan Royal House.
I heard Bram Stokers Dracula was inspired by Slains Castle in Aberdeenshire Scotland. (strangely not in Romania I know)
@Lorraine:
Interesting factoid! The castle ruins look very picturesque (and probably pretty creepy after dark…).
Helena Tomasson says
Chernobyl! Ukraine
Detroit! USA
@Helena:
I don't think these places are haunted, though photos from the abandoned places near Chernobyl are certainly haunting…

Neumann (later Newman) baronets of Cecil Lodge (1912)
The Neumann (later Newman) Baronetcy of Cecil Lodge in Newmarket in the County of Cambridge was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 6 February 1912 for Sigismund Neumann (1857–1916). He was a partner in the firms of S. Neumann and Co., merchants, and Neumann, Luebeck and Co., bankers. The family name was later anglicised to Newman. Neumann was the son of Gustav Neumann of Fürth, Bavaria.

Sir Cecil Gustavus Jacques Newman, 2nd Baronet (1891–1955) assumed by Royal licence the surname of Newman in lieu of Neumann in 1936. He was born brought up for the most part at Raynham Hall in Norfolk and 146 Piccadilly, his parents' London house. He was educated at Eton College and went to Balliol College, Oxford. In 1911 he was commissioned into the 1st Norfolk Yeomanry and served until 1920. He saw action at Gallipoli and was invalided out of the theatre with amoebic dysentery. He served as a staff Captain 1917–1920. He married Joan Grimston and bought Burloes Hall near Royston, Hertfordshire in 1923. He was a JP, County Councillor and Chairman of the town council for 10 years. He was High Sheriff of Hertfordshire in 1939. He served again, this time in the Home Guard, from 1940 to 1944.  He was Church Warden of the Royston Priory Church for many years and a devout churchman. He died in May 1955 and is remembered by the memorial to him in the Lady Chapel.

He was educated at St Peter's Court; Eton College; and Jesus College, Oxford, where he graduated in 1951 with 2.1 in Law. He went on to become a director and Chairman of several manufacturing companies, the most notable being Rom River based in Battersea and Galloway Group based in Dundee. Rom River was purchased in the early 1950s which he built up very successfully with his brother, John Newman until it was purchased by Blue Circle Cement in 1969. He acquired land at Fairhaugh in Northumberland in 1972 and the Oxcombe Estate, Lincolnshire in 1985.

Brooklyn Army Terminal opening up for tours of the 95-year-old Sunset Park military depot
By MATT CHABAN
Current tenants have put the balconies at the Brooklyn Army Terminal to interesting uses. Some have plants on them, others use them to make phone calls or for a quick smoke. (Matt Chaban/NYDN)
What do Elvis, Prohibition-era bootleggers and dinosaur bones all have in common? They've all spent their fair share of time at the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park.
And now you can, too.
For the first time, the city is offering regular tours of the 95-year-old former military depot on the waterfront in Sunset Park.
Entrance to the Brooklyn Army Terminal, a 4-million square-foot industrial facility run by the City of New York. (Matt Chaban)
Two weekends a month, visitors can learn all about the sprawling facility's impressive history and unusual occupants, past and present — all while marveling at one of the most magnificent industrial buildings in the city.
"I don't think there's another place like it in New York," said Andrew Gustafson, a guide from Turnstile Tours.
Workers lay track at the Brooklyn Army Terminal in Sunset Park Brooklyn as the facility nears completion in 1919. More than 20,000 workers were employed at the terminal during World War 2. (NYC Economic Development Corpora)
The gigantic beige concrete complex, planned for storage of military wares for World War I, was completed in 1919.
At the time, it was the largest concrete building in the world.
Building 1 at the Brooklyn Army Terminal. Built in 1918-1919, it served as a major supply depot for ships leaving for Europe during both World Wars. (Matt Chaban/NYDN)
It took 7 million board-feet of wood just to form the molds for all the concrete, about 10 times as much wood as in the Coney Island Cyclone, Gustafson explained.
The four-building compound was designed by Cass Gilbert, best known for the Woolworth Building.
Lia and Frank Macaluso are opening a branch of Pete's Place, their 29-year-old Sunset Park diner, inside Building B at the Brooklyn Army Terminal. (Matt Chaban/NYDN)
By far the most dramatic feature is an atrium running the length of the 950-foot-long Building B.
Soaring eight stories, it has a steel-and-glass-skylight the size of three football fields. Balconies zig-zag up the walls.
The dramatic atrium inside Build B is one of the most famous feature of the Brooklyn Army Terminal. (Matt Chaban/NYDN)
Between the wars, the government stored confiscated liquor from the city's thousands of speakeasies here. The terminal was at its height during World War II, when 20,000 workers — mostly civilians — were employed there, sending supplies to North Africa and Europe.
It was from here that Elvis Presley famously shipped out to Germany in 1958 for his two-year tour. Eight years later, the terminal would be decommissioned.
An old train car sits on disused railroad tracks in Building B at the Brooklyn Army Terminal. A reminder of the building's history, it was going to be turned into a restaurant that never actually opened. (Matt Chaban/NYDN)
The city bought it in 1981 for $8.5 million, and in 1987, the Brooklyn Army Terminal reopened as a hub for a range of manufacturing and light industrial businesses.
Hundreds of firms have called the facility home over the years.
The balconies that zig-zag up the side of the atrium were an innovative design, allowing goods to be easily transported by a rooftop crane from the floors to the waiting trains below. (Matt Chaban/NYDN)
Current tenants include Pack It Away storage, Riva Jewlry Manufacturing, online boutique Uncommon Goods, and Lee Springs, which manufactures more than 21,000 different springs for use in everthing from rifles to medical devices.
The Museum of Natural History and the Guggenheim both have storage spaces here (including for those dino bones).
The terminal has always been central to the city's efforts to maintain a strong industrial sector in the five boroughs, said Kyle Kimball, president of the city's Economic Development Corporation, the agency responsible for the complex.
Now, the city wants to show that off.
"It gives us the opportunity to bring the community in and show the public what I think is one of the crown jewels in our portfolio," Kimball said.
Chocolate king Jacque Torres, who is building a 40,000-square-foot "Willy Wonka factory" here, found the buildings so alluring, he could think of going nowhere else.
"It's so historical and so beautiful," Torres said. "Nobody has to tell you the history. You can see it and feel it everywhere."
The $22 tours run on Saturdays every two weeks beginning Sept. 14. To learn more, visit turnstiletours.com


The main opposition figures are boycotting after their demands for electoral reform were not met. There are concerns that the boycott could affect voters turnout.
Mr Deby, who has faced two attempted coups since the last polls, has recently mended relations with Sudan, where rebel fighters were based. The BBC's former correspondent in Chad, Celeste Hicks, says this has helped to restore security and it is significant that Monday's election is taking place in relative peace.
