History, Architecture and Timber Windows in Hungerford, Berkshire
Category: Period Property Locations
The name Hungerford is believed to have derived from a Saxon name meaning "Hanging Wood Ford". The first written evidence of Hungerford was in 1108. However, stone age tools and remains of a bronze age building have since been discovered in the local area.
The Norman village was rebuilt around the in 1200s with a main street running from north to south and lanes on either side. Although the town has grown considerably in size since, the basis for this structure is still visible today with the houses still maintaining very long and narrow strips of land.
By 1241, Hungerford became a borough. Between the 11th and the 14th century, the manor of Hungerford passed between the Crown and various Duchies of Leicester and Lancaster. The manor passed to John of Gaunt in 1362, who gifted the townsfolk lucrative fishing rights for the River Kennet. The townsfolk received John of Gaunt's horn and a charter affirming his gift.
However, during Queen Elizabeth I's reign the current Duchy tried to re-establish their rights to the river. A court case ensued, and the matter was only resolved when Queen Elizabeth I intervened on the town's behalf.
In celebration of the townsfolk being gifted fishing rights, Hungerford still celebrates Hocktide every year on the second Tuesday after Easter. The event starts with the town-crier blowing his horn, everyone living in the most ancient houses in the High Street must pay a fine to retain their fishing and grazing rights, before a Hocktide Court is held in the town hall. The residents and the jury then meet for a Hocktide Luncheon, which is a four-course meal held in Hungerford's Corn Exchange.
The Bath Road had a considerable effect on the town's growth and development. In 1688, Prince William of Orange met with three commissioners, sent by King James II, at the Bear Inn and plans were made for the throne of England to pass to William.
Later, during the Georgian era, coaching became a big business within the town with many coaching inns, stables and blacksmiths. Several properties on the High Street were updated to add Georgian frontages.
The town continued to prosper when the Kennet and Avon Canal was opened in 1810. However, the introduction of the railway in Hungerford in 1847 reduced prosperity from the canal and coaches. As a result, the population of Hungerford fell between 1851 and 1901.

The Bear Hotel (also known as The Bear Inn)
The Bear Inn is one of the oldest and most historic Inns in England and is believed to have been a hospice as early as the 13th Century.
In addition to Prince William of Orange, the Grade II listed building was also visited by Elizabeth I and Charles I.
Since the 13th Century the building has undergone several restorations and changes, meaning that much of the building today is believed to date from the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries.
The building today has multiple sliding sash windows in Georgian style with glazing bars.

Hungerford Town Hall
The Town Hall was built in 1870 by Ernest Prestwick of Leigh in Lancashire and replaced the earlier town hall.
The Victorian Grade II Listed building is built with Bath stone and has several arched sash windows.
It is owned and maintained by the charity the Town & Manor of Hungerford. This means that it does not receive any government funding but instead relies on the charity to look after it.

Three Swans Hotel
The Three Swans Hotel is believed to have been an inn since at least 1645. However, there has been a building on the site since at least 1470.
The Grade II listed building was built in the 18th Century before being altered in the 20th Century.
The property still has the original archway where horse drawn carriages would have entered into the courtyard. There are 8 over 8 sash windows on the first floor, with 20th Century bow windows on the ground floor.
Timber Windows in Hungerford
A large section of Hungerford town centre is protected by a conservation area and the town has over 100 listed buildings, helping to protect the heritage of the area for future generations. As a result, several traditional properties with timber sash windows can still be spotted on Hungerford High Street.

In 1977, Star Wars: A New Hope was released in all of its glory, shoddy CG effects and all. But universal acclaim and millions of adoring fans wasn't good enough for George Lucas, the trilogy's director. For the film's 20th anniversary, a digitally remastered version was re-released in theaters and included visual shots and scenes that were considered unachievable with technology from the 70s.
Many people considered this new release to be inferior to the original theatrical version, and ever since then fans have sought a way to watch A New Hope as it was presented back in the day.
While there have been attempts to "despecialize" the specialized edition released in the late 90s, a group of fans has digitally restored an original 35mm film print, an example of which you can see above.
The group, Team Negative1, spent years scanning, cleaning and restoring A New Hope to match what the experience would have been like when the movie was originally released. No added scenes, no fluff, just Star Wars at its most pure. The only copies of the original trilogy commercially available has been Lucas-ified, making Team Negative1's efforts the stuff of legend.
The restoration, as you'd guess, isn't exactly legal, which means we don't recommend you go to Google.com and search out the torrent. No, that would be silly. But if you were to do that, you'd be treated to a restored 35mm print without any of Lucas' special additions.

A few weeks ago, Laura developed a concept for a new anime show, Angel Force. We thought it had great promise, but frankly, the responses from the major studios have been tepid. And until we got a letter from Rory, we didn't realize the problem--we had no comic relief! Thanks, Rory, for showing us the error of our ways. I guess that makes you our "brain trust." God help us.
To make matters more amusing, just make it so he can't quite walk on his own, so one of the other angel people has to carry him around, completely hindering her combat ability. I think the blue one would be best for this, as Jesus looked down on bloodshed in real life.
Every episode, "Little Jesus" should sing a heartwrenching song that makes everyone want to vomit, except for the 1 or 2 people who watch who almost think it's cute. As long as 1 or 2 people don't hate it, you'll be set.
Finally, to tie things into a nice little package, "Jesus Jr" should say things from the Bible that Jesus said, like "The Lord is my shepherd," and follow them by a sickening laugh. Then everyone laughs, and the show ends. It'll be sweet.
Please think this over, and send a response. I wish you luck with incorporating "Christ-opher" into the plot, and I know you can do it. Write back soon.
Very interesting thought, Rory! Incorporating Baby Jesus into the show would be a great way to reach out to Christian viewers. But after careful consideration, we have decided that Baby Jesus might be too darn delightful for our viewers to handle. We have opted to go with a bouncing sheep instead.

Q: WebRTC video call and IONIC, call when app runs in background I made an application using twilio, webRTC and ionic, and the video call is working. However, is it possible to make the video call when the app runs in background? I couldn't come up with a solution with ionic.

A: I created a landing page upon login which has all the token grant and initialization of twilio so that once a user logs in. It is already on listening mode. Then, i handled the opening of push to actually just redirect to that particular landing page. In my case, the landing page is app.onlineUsers

Enter the dense forests filled with bamboo stems and you may wonder if this wildlife reserve has a pulse or not. There are zigzag trails to make your feet moving momentarily. It may give you goosebumps, but there is an uncanny funny feeling in such an adventurous wildlife journey. And in the worst scenarios, you may have a face-to-face interaction with the tiger! Getting choked, aren't you!
A recent report published by the Global Tiger Forum has highlighted the fact that the population of the wild tiger at the Tadoba Wildlife Sanctuary has increased by approximately 40%. Many may find the report to be cynical, but the figures are true to every sense.
If you are planning to have a tour deep into the forests of Tadoba, take a Gypsy or some other SUV. It is always wise to hire local tour guides for a trip. There are government-assigned forest guides available for safari trips. Hire one such professional to help you out through the deep forest trails. Never get out of the vehicle while on a tiger hunt. Be very careful, you may not, but the king is always watching. Every move of yours is being observed silently. Even the slightest of recklessness can put you into situations from where you may not come back alive.
The nearest major urban city from Tadoba is Nagpur. The distance from Nagpur to Tadoba is 132 km approximately. You need to take the Chandrapur – Mul – Nagbhir – Nagpur Highway. Once you reach Chandrapur, the closest sub-urban town, the distance to reach Tadoba becomes 45 km only. If you are travelling by train, you must know that the Chandrapur Railway Station is well-connected to trains from Delhi, Mumbai, Jhansi, Hyderabad, and Chennai. From the Chandrapur Railway Station, there are private taxis and public buses available for Tadoba.
There are plenty of quality Tadoba accommodation options available for tourists. You will find luxurious lodges and resorts near the Kolara Gate, Khutwanda Gate, Moharli Gate and in close proximity to areas surrounding the Tadoba National Park. There are also options for tented accommodation. But it can be slightly risky for those who are not accustomed to the wildlife scenario. Also, tented accommodation options should be avoided during the winter and the summer months. After all, the place is not only popular for tigers; but there are pythons too.
If the main purpose of your visit is to spot tigers, the best time to visit is in between middle of March till the end of May. During this time, due to high temperature, the tigers can be spotted near the free-flowing streams, within the reserve. And, yes, these months are also perfect to spot pythons. The period from June till September witnesses the arrival of monsoon. This period must be avoided, since the insect life comes alive during this particular time of the year. Also, the percentage of snakes increases during this time.
If you are a nature lover, the best time to visit Tadoba is post monsoon period, i.e. from October till February. There are plenty of quality Tadoba accommodation options available for tourists. Winter is not harsh in this part of the country. The tropical climate makes for a comfortable trip to witness the rich flora and fauna.

As ISRO Reached for the Moon, Its Scientists Faced Pay Cuts
The order came just about a month before the launch of the Chandrayaan 2.

New Delhi: Even as India is heaping praise on the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for the (partial) success of its Chandrayaan 2 mission, scientists at the space agency are reportedly protesting a reduction in salary.
According to Sirf News, a June 12 order withdrew the motivational and promotional grants provided by a 1996 decision that approved of double hikes in salaries. The Supreme Court had issued the order two decades ago to encourage scientists to join ISRO's ranks and to motivate those already in the employ of the space agency.
Also read: The Farther Away From Chandrayaan, the Pettier the Winds Blow
The June 12 order came just about a month before the launch of the Chandrayaan 2 mission – which was pushed from the initial July 15 launch date after scientists discovered a glitch at the 56th minute before launch. The order came into force on July 1 and has resulted in over 90% of the workforce of ISRO losing up to Rs 10,000 a month.
Congress MP Motilal Vora also raised the issue in Parliament on July 30. He informed the Rajya Sabha that the additional increment had been implemented by the Department of Space in 1996 following the Supreme Court's order, in which the apex court had said the increment should be treated as "payroll" in a manner. Vora appealed to the Rajya Sabha to get the government to stop deducting the salaries of ISRO scientists.
Scientists at the space agency haven't taken too kindly to the move. Saying they are entirely dependant on the salaries they receive and have no other means of earning money to support their families, the Space Engineers Association (SEA), a union within ISRO, penned an appeal to ISRO chairman K. Sivan at the end of July to help petition the government to withdraw its recent decision.
Also read: 5 Unique Space Science Missions That ISRO Will Be Flying in the Near Future
Warning that the move could demotivate scientists – the very opposite of what the 1996 decision intended – the letter, signed by SEA president A. Maniraman, said the staff had been saddened as a result. The letter also mentions how the Sixth Pay Commission had recommended that the salaries of scientists be left untouched.
According to Sirf News, the government order talks of the performance-related incentive scheme (PRIS), which it says should not affect the 1996 decision of the double increments for ISRO staffers, because PRIS does not affect the basic income of any government servant.
At ISRO, ranks are divided into the A, B, C, D, E, F and G categories. To climb the pay as well as designation ladders, each scientist must pass a test.

Mental Health First Aid Comes to Campus
UConn has begun offering mental health training sessions, becoming part of a national movement to make mental health first aid as widespread as CPR and first aid skills.
UConn has begun offering mental health training sessions, becoming part of a national movement to make mental health first aid as widespread as CPR and first aid skills. (Getty Images)
CPR and basic first aid care are skills that millions of Americans acquire. Who knows how many lives and limbs have been saved over the years because somebody took the time to get some basic training?
Now this same type of training is available for mental health; and Sigma Theta Alpha, a co-ed professional health fraternity at UConn, has taken the lead to bring the program to campus.
Being a mental health first aider is to listen non-judgmentally and create a space of trust. — Valerie English Cooper
Mental Health First Aid training is a national initiative that is performed locally by Mental Health Connecticut, a statewide non-profit organization whose mission is to improve mental health for all state residents. The group has come to UConn three times for the day-long training, and another session is planned for March.
"There is a huge initiative by the federal government to make Mental Health First Aid as common as CPR training," says Valerie English Cooper, a community educator for Mental Health Connecticut, who has performed the training at UConn.
"We introduce information on mental illness with the basic facts. We don't teach how to diagnose – we do the opposite. Labeling and jumping to conclusions based on symptoms and behaviors is harmful, dangerous, and inappropriate, because that is for professionals."
Like its CPR counterpart, Mental Health First Aid is a universal experience taught the same way everywhere. It originated in Australia in 2001.
"Being a mental health first aider is to listen non-judgmentally and create a space of trust," says Cooper. "We teach people that listening will be more important than anything they say."
UConn nursing major Lisa Iwanicki '18 (NUR), from Burlington, Connecticut, is a member of Sigma Theta Alpha and first took the training in 2016. She now serves as an organizer for the event each time it returns to campus.
"I have realized that there are behavioral issues with every part of medicine and every ward of a hospital – maternity, critical care, all of them," says Iwanicki. "It is prevalent in every community, and simply overwhelming in college.
"There are plenty of resources on campuses," she adds, "but this training brings you the connection to be able to identify people that need help."
Iwanicki believes the training is important for students of all majors to take, not just those involved in health care. "When you take the training, you go over the myths and learn the facts," she says. "It really changes the way you think, and I can now take appropriate steps if someone I know needs help."
Senior Morgan Reiss '18 (CLAS), a psychology major from Newtown, Connecticut, went through the training for the first time on Feb. 24.
"It was everything I hoped for and more," said Reiss. "I didn't even know something like this existed, and then I saw a flyer for it. It was not just about learning the signs and symptom of mental illness, but what someone can do in the community to help."
The program is split into classroom-style work, watching videos, and simulation of real-life issues. The action plan taught works under the acronym of ALGEE – Assess for risk of suicide or harm, Listen non-judgmentally, Give reassurance and information, Encourage appropriate professional help, and Encourage self-help and other support strategies.
Reiss says she got a lot out of the simulation activities, where the instructor played a man who had just lost his wife and his family was concerned that he was falling into a pattern of depression. Participants in the class would ask potential questions to "the father," and the instructor would provide feedback.
"In CPR training, you get to work with manikins first," says Reiss. "The simulation in Mental Health First Aid is similar. We get to know what works and what does not [through role playing]."
When she got back to the residence hall, she recommended the training to her roommate.
"It was cool to be in a room with people who want to help make a change," she says. "Mental health is not talked about much in society."
Mental Health First Aid continues to rise in popularity. Participation by such notables as former First Lady Michelle Obama and music superstar Lady Gaga has brought the program into the spotlight.
"The whole key to this program is to let people know recovery is possible," says Cooper. "The first approach might not be the one that is helpful. But you have to try and try. You need to keep people hopeful."
Editor's Note: The next Mental Health First Aid Training to take place at UConn will be on Saturday, March 24, 2018 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Register at www.mhconn.org/education/mental-health-first-aid.
Any campus group that would like to host a training session can contact venglishcooper@mhconn.org or 860-471-6715.

Dear Fellow Alumnae,
St. Vincent's Academy is my employer, but the story goes much deeper than "just a job." This wonderful institution has been an important part of my life since I was old enough to stumble into the next block wearing a Halloween costume to trick-or-treat at the convent of the Sisters of Mercy. They were happily awaiting me and all the other neighborhood ghosts and goblins.
The Sisters are awaiting your daughters to give them the opportunity of a lifetime… a St. Vincent's Academy education. Five generations of women in my family received that special gift. Most of the women in my family were professional women, some well ahead of their times. They became nurses, accountants, teachers, speech pathologists, and social workers, and one became a nursing Sister of Mercy. They were women who set out to contribute to and enrich their world.
Today, St. Vincent's continues to produce impressive, educated, caring women steeped in a Christian, value-based background. It is a privilege to continue my association with St. Vincent's by serving as the Director of Alumnae and Development.
Our three goals are:
Keeping alumnae connected to SVA.
Reducing the cost of tuition through Annual Giving and fundraising events.
Designating monies for scholarships and financial aid.
Though the cost of private education continues increasing, the Sisters of Mercy always have made it part of their mission to keep tuition costs as low as possible while maintaining excellence in education. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact me at 912-236-5505 or loretto.lominack@svaga.net.

There will be no contract of any kind between you and TMG unless and until you receive a Team Confirmation Email (in the absence of a Team Confirmation Email, please check your spam folder).
5.1 The players included on the selection list and their values have been determined arbitrarily. Player values remain constant throughout the Competition. TMG shall not enter into any correspondence relating to details of the selection list, nor will it accept the inclusion into a team of any player not on the selection list. New players may be introduced into the Competition by TMG as and when appropriate. These may be listed from time to time within The Daily Telegraph, on the Website and on the mobile application.
7.1 Points will be awarded based on all Champions League matches played from 17:55(BST) on Tuesday, September 18, 2018 up to and including the final match, scheduled for Saturday, June 1, 2019.
All players: starting appearance (two points); substitute appearance (one point); goal scored (five points); Key Contribution to a goal (three points); red card (minus three points) (note: two yellow cards leading to a red card in the same match counts as one red card); yellow card (minus one point); missed penalty (minus two points); own goal (minus three points).
Goalkeepers and defenders only: team keeps a full-match clean sheet and player plays sixty minutes or more excluding stoppage time (five points); team keeps a full-match clean sheet and player plays fewer than sixty minutes (two points); first goal conceded (zero points); each additional goal conceded (minus one point). Points will not be awarded for Champions League penalty shoot-outs.
7.4 Key Contributions ("KCs") for goals will be awarded at the sole discretion of the judging panel appointed by TMG. Up to two players may be awarded a KC for the same goal. For general guidance only, the following will be considered by the judges, among other factors when deciding on KCs: no KC is given to a player who simply touches the ball sideways from a free kick, or to the penalty taker when penalties are saved or come back off the woodwork before a goal is scored; if during the build up to a goal, an opposing player significantly alters the speed or direction of the ball to the extent that it does not reach what the judges consider to be the intended target area, then no KC is given; if a goalkeeper does not have control of the ball and parries a shot or drops a cross or the ball rebounds off the woodwork, the attacking player shooting or crossing the ball may receive the KC if a goal ensues -this does not apply if the goalkeeper successfully punches the ball clear (achieving a deliberate contact on the ball); in the event of a penalty, the player who was fouled (if applicable), may receive a KC if the resultant penalty is scored unless he takes the penalty himself in which case no KC is given; no KC is given for a player who earns a free kick that subsequently results in a goal; no KC will be awarded for a player who checks or shields another player, makes a run to create space for another player or shields the ball without touching it. A KC may be awarded in the event of an own goal.
8.1 As far as possible, during all eligible Champions League matches, Managers have the option to view the progress of their TFFE team and watch score updates on the Website or mobile application. Managers will also be able to view periodic Private League updates (top twenty teams only) on match days. Managers within Private Leagues will have the option to disable their live updates from the live Private League table should they wish to do so, by making their teams Private. While matches are being played, a Manager's team on the "TFF Live" page will display the XI that was eligible at the start of the live Event, but if transfers are made during the live Event the outgoing payers will be replaced on the pitch in "TFF Live", however they will still score points for that Event.
8.2 Important: live score updates are offered purely to enhance Managers' enjoyment of the Competition and points should be regarded as indicative only. All live points are subject to overnight verification and Key Contributions will not be awarded until then. Classified scores will be published following verification by the judging panel appointed by TMG in accordance with Clause 7, "Scoring Points". Only classified scores will be published outside of the TFF Live page on the Competition website or mobile application. In the event that live scores vary from classified scores on the Competition website or mobile application, the decision of the judges will be final and TMG is not obliged to enter into any correspondence regarding points allocated to, or deducted from, players.
9.1 Managers may alter their teams by effecting transfers, which may be actioned online via the Website or mobile application.
9.2 A total of 12 transfers per team can be made during the group stages of the Champions League. A further 16 transfers will be allowed during the knock out stages of the Champions League.

9.4 A pre-season transfer amnesty shall operate until the first Scheduled Event Kick-off at 17:55 (BST) on Tuesday, September 18, 2018. Following the conclusion of the group stage matches a second transfer amnesty shall operate until the first Scheduled Event Kick-off of the knock out stages. These amnesty periods allow Managers to make unlimited changes to their line-up without affecting their transfer allocations. Outside of these times, transfers may be submitted at any time up until the final Scheduled Event Kick-off, expected to be on Saturday, June 1, 2019.
10.1 Entry into TFFE shall give Managers the opportunity to form their own Private Leagues and join other Private Leagues at no extra charge. Managers also have the opportunity to form their own Paid Private Leagues which shall be subject to an entry free set by that Paid Private League's Chairman.
10.2 Each team may participate in up to three Private Leagues and one Public League. There is no limit to the number of Elite Leagues each team can join but each manager can only join any given Elite League once.

Chairmen are advised to consider the eligibility for the League of Leagues prize when removing members from their Private League (see 10.6). Please note this facility will not be available for Chairmen of Paid Private Leagues.
10.9 Chairmen of Paid Private Leagues are advised to circulate their League PIN and Passcodes only to people they wish to join the League. Once all invited members have joined, Chairmen are advised to change their Passcode to effectively lock down the League. Chairmen may request uninvited / unwanted members be removed from their League up until midnight on Saturday, October 13, 2018. TMG will consider each request on merit based on any evidence provided by both the Chairman and the affected league member. Removed league members will be refunded their joining fee. TMG's decisions on such matters will be final.
11.1 Entry into TFF shall also give Managers the opportunity to join Public Leagues at no extra charge. There are two Public Leagues, the Facebook & Twitter Leagues.
11.2 In the interests of fair play, each manager is permitted to join one Public League only but a manager can join up to two Public Leagues with different teams.
11.3 No further Public League entries will be accepted after 23:59 (BST) on Saturday, October 6, 2018.
12.1 Entry into TFFE shall also give Managers the opportunity to join TFF Tournaments. Each Tournament comprises 32 teams, each of which must be managed by a different Manager. The two Managers contesting the Final at the conclusion of each Tournament will each win a cash prize dependent on the specified entry fee.
12.2 All TFF Tournaments are subject to an entry fee. Three different entry levels are available: £2, £5 and £10.
Managers can join an unlimited number of each type of Tournaments but can only have one team in the queue for a Tournament of each entry level at any one time. Once a Tournament reaches 32 entries, another Tournament at the same entry level will be made available to join.
12.3 The deadline to join a Tournament is 17:55 (BST) on Tuesday, October 2, 2018 but scoring will start from the first kick-off of the competition. If a Tournament fills after scoring starts, any points a team has already earned will be carried into the group stage of the Tournament.
12.4 Once a TFF Tournament reaches 32 entries, the 32 teams will be drawn at random into eight groups of four. 16 of the 32 teams in each TFF Tournament will progress from the group stage to the knock-out stage: the two highest scoring teams in each of the eight groups following the final Champions League group stage matches scheduled for Wednesday, December 12, 2018. These 16 teams will be drawn into head-to-head fixtures in line with the Champions League competition format. During the knock-out stage, the highest scoring team in each head-to-head fixture will progress and this process continues until only two teams remain in each TFF Tournament to contest the final head-to-head fixtures scheduled for Saturday, June 1, 2019.
12.5 In the case of a tie at any point, the standard TFF tie-break rules (Clause 14) will apply.

Homecoming will soon have a whole new meaning for UAB alumni. The National Alumni Society (NAS) pledged the first $1.2 million to launch a building campaign for the new UAB National Alumni Society House, scheduled to be completed by the end of 2010.
The building, approximately 15,000 gross square feet, will be located at 1001 13th Street South. In addition to housing staff offices for UAB Alumni Affairs, the space will accommodate some 200 to 300 people for luncheons, dinners, receptions, and board and chapter meetings, with adequate parking for daytime and evening events. A large reception area will allow many events to be held on campus that have had to be held elsewhere in the past.
According to Rebecca V. Watson, associate vice president for alumni affairs and annual giving, the Alumni House will "be a symbol to our students of the viability of our organization and will allow us to better show them how important it is to stay involved after graduation."
Current NAS president Cindy Godwin says the NAS wanted to give the initial funds "so that we could have the right to name the building. That was very important to us."
Tommie G. Cummings, a partner and member of the executive committee of Frost Cummings Tidwell Group LLC and past NAS president, says that the NAS past presidents made a contribution to name the gathering room at the Alumni House. She says that the addition of this facility "indicates UAB's interest in its alumni and sets the tone that once you are in the UAB family, you remain in the UAB family."

Local Missionaries in Chad
Evangelical population:
People groups:
Unreached people groups:
Located in the 10/40 Window
With great ethnic and linguistic diversity, this country in north-central Africa is home to more than 100 languages and dialects, though Arabic and French are the official languages.
It is also religiously diverse. More than 57 percent of the population is Muslim, and 48 percent of those are Sunni, 21 percent Shia, 23 percent "just Muslim," and 4 percent Ahmadi. More than a quarter of the population is described as Christian, and a small proportion of the country's people practice the ancestor or nature god worship of animism.
Muslims are found mainly in northern and eastern Chad, while animists and Christians live primarily in the southern areas. The country's constitution defines the country as secular and guarantees religious freedom.
In a country where 80 percent of the people live below the poverty line, many people cannot afford education for their children, opening the way for local missionaries to provide schooling. Native ministries seek funding to open schools and provide financial support and tutoring for students at existing schools.
Local missionaries also disciple children toward the end of bringing the gospel to their parents and other relatives, as well as training them to make an impact on their co-workers and communities as adults. Church-planters proclaiming Christ to unreached peoples need assistance for Bibles, transportation, monthly support, and land for training centers and schools, as well as help for Christians persecuted for their faith.
Refugees from conflict in surrounding countries are streaming in, and local missionaries are bringing them critical aid along with the message of Christ's salvation. Native ministries are also providing medical care to people facing daunting health problems and water wells as a means of preventing many illnesses with clean water for cooking, drinking and washing. Several income-generating projects are also in the works in the fight against poverty.

How to Pray for Chad
Pray that growing Islamist movements would not thwart or dampen efforts to expand God's kingdom.
Pray God's will would be done in saved souls, transformed lives, restored dignity and bright-shining communities.
Pray that churches would be strong and unified to bring glory to God's name.
More stories from Chad


1. Hand deliver a response-oriented marketing flyer and possibly a publication or co-op pack sample. Usually an 8.5 x 11 piece on card stock featuring some kind of special offer that would lead the prospect to contact you for more details.
2. Get the marketing decision maker's name and contact information.
3. Have a look at the business so you can communicate with the decision maker on the phone or via email with first hand knowledge of the business.
4. Get in. Make a good, professional impression. Get out quickly (less than 3 minutes at MOST).
Speed is the name of this game and you need to be able to do 20+ touches an hour. Being in a hurry to get in and out makes you look like a busy professional who works by appointment who just walked in for a brief second because you were interested in possibly setting up a meeting sometime, versus a door-to-door peddler with no plan for your day, ready to pitch at the drop of a hat.
If the people at the counter are busy helping a customer or on the phone, do not wait until they finish, just leave the flyer on the counter, grab a business card, and get on to the next business.
Enter all of the data you gather into your CRM at the end of your Walk-In Blitz (or end of selling day if no blitz) and send a quick follow-up email immediately referencing the flyer you left, the reason you stopped in, and inviting them to call or email with questions or if you can be of any service.

Q: c++ Removing characters from string using STL I'm having a small brain fart: I'd like to remove all instances of the newline character '\n' in a std::string. I'd prefer to use the STL instead of manual, multi-nested for loops; the only problem is I've forgotten how...
Would for(...) { std::string::remove_if(...); } ; work? Could I need to use std::for_each(...,..., std::string::remove_if(...));? Or would something else be required?

A: If you have Boost.Range it works even shorter:
#include <boost\range\algorithm_ext\erase.hpp>

boost::remove_erase(str, '\n');

A: First idea: the remove/erase idiom:
str.erase(std::remove(str.begin(), str.end(), '\n'), str.end());

Nipples & Palm Trees was released theatrically July 13, 2012, and on DVD November 6, 2012.  Hulu picked it up in October 2014.

Reception
Robert Koehler of Variety wrote that the film is too incompetent to be funny.  Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times described it as "a dreary, dirty-talking sex comedy from the you've-got-to-be-kidding-me school of filmmaking".  Michael Nordine of LA Weekly wrote, "Though Nipples and Palm Trees isn't without its eventual charms, the film is too content, for too long, to dwell on unfunny sleaze and thinly-sketched characters."  HorrorCultFilms rated it 8/10 stars and called it "quite possibly the biggest surprise of the year".

"Our technology allows us to stream to all those outlets at the same time for a given bandwidth … (providing) added value for our customers," Levy said.
Levy has had the entrepreneurial spirit since he was a teen, when he started installing sprinkler systems for golf courses.
Levy, a University of Kansas graduate, headed in another career direction than he originally planned.
"I was going to go to medical school and got side-tracked in the golf industry," he said. "We started seeing a need in the golf business for weather information … and developed weather equipment that would tell us how much watering the course needed," Levy said.
Levy created Waterscape, a company that developed sprinkler systems using weather information to determine watering levels. Waterscape eventually had systems at Kansas City International Airport, Kauffman and Arrowhead stadiums and Kansas City Country Club's golf course. The company eventually operated offices in five cities, but after 22 years Levy decided to sell it.
"I came to the conclusion the business wasn't worth more than what I started with," he said.
Levy got a call from a meteorologist at one of the local television stations asking whether he could get weather data from Waterscape's devices, and a light bulb went off. Levy took the system and software he created and adapted it for the television marketplace.
Q: What is it that Weather Metrics actually sells?
Weather Metrics sells the stations cameras and weather sensors, and licenses software to report real-time weather. Its cameras come from various vendors in Germany, Finland and Canada.
Weather Metrics does provide the training on how to use the units. Pricing is the same whether a station is in a large or small market. Levy said these systems provide stations with more than live weather imagery.
There's one thing viewers will not see on television broadcasts that use a Weather Metrics system.
Q: Outside of television, what are your other markets?
Weather Metrics continues to grow, and Levy said the company has an 80 percent retention rate with its clients.
"Last month we streamed 10 million live video viewer minutes to the Web," Levy said.
Currently, Weather Metrics actively monitors 4,000 devices providing 24/7 support in the unlikely event of an outage.
Q: What is the competition like in your industry?
Levy pointed to the company's ability to put in a Weather Metrics system just about anywhere a customer wants.
"We have cameras a top of roller coasters in Ohio, in Brant Park in New York City and in the mountains in the Poconos," he said.
Q: What have you found most challenging about your business?


This EP application has the IPC combination B60, H01, and H02. Kransell & Wennborg KB is specialized in the combination B60, H01, and H02. We found, that Ilberg & Weißfloh, Meissner Bolte & Partnerschaft mbB, Grünecker Patent- und Rechtsanwälte PartG mbB, advotec., Patentbüro Paul Rosenich AG and 23 others are specialized in all of these IPC classes as well. For a similar patent, they might be a good choice.


For starters, it's big enough for the justices to schedule six hours of arguments -- more time than given to any case since 1966. After all, the Affordable Care Act is arguably the most consequential domestic legislation since the creation of Medicare in 1965.
It's also big enough to attract more briefs than any other case in history. At least 170, including more than 120 "friend-of-the-court" or amicus briefs, have been filed, many of which are joined by 10, 20 or more groups of every imaginable description.
And, finally, it's big enough to cause the justices to postpone until October half of the 12 cases that they would ordinarily hear in April in order to clear time to get started on the health care opinions that they are expected to issue by the late June, or possibly, early July.
The immediate issues, in the order the court will hear them, begin with the question of whether the so-called "individual mandate" -- which requires that almost all Americans without coverage buy individual health insurance policies or pay fines -- is ripe for adjudication now. Or must the case be deferred until 2015 because of the 1867 Anti-Injunction Act, which bars federal courts from ruling on the constitutionality of tax laws before payments are due?
After that come the arguments about what many consider the central issue: whether the mandate, which is unprecedented, should be voided because it represents an unconstitutional exercise of Congress' powers to regulate commerce and to levy taxes.
Next is what becomes of the law's hundreds of other provisions, covering 2,700 pages, if the mandate is unconstitutional? Are some or all of them "severable," meaning that Congress would have wanted them to stand even if the mandate falls? For example, what about the provisions establishing tax credits to help small businesses and individuals buy health insurance and taxing large employers that do not provide full-time employees government-approved coverage?
Apart from those issues, does the law's expansion of Medicaid violate the sovereignty of the states by effectively requiring them to spend more of their own money or forfeit all of the federal Medicaid money they now receive?
Nobody knows. It's clear that the court's four more liberal members, like almost all other liberal legal experts, will find the law constitutional in all respects. It's also clear that conservative Justice Clarence Thomas will vote to strike down much or all of the law. It's less clear what swing-voting Justice Anthony Kennedy and conservative Chief Justice John Roberts as well as Justices Antonin Scalia and Samuel Alito will do.
Kennedy, Roberts, Alito, and (especially) Scalia -- whom the government's brief quotes five times -- have all joined past decisions construing federal regulatory power very broadly. Two respected conservative federal appeals court judges, Laurence Silberman and Geoffrey Sutton, who is one of Scalia's favorite law clerks, have upheld the law.
What are the major arguments for and against the individual mandate?
Defenders say that the broad constitutional power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce, and the even broader power to "lay and collect taxes," both provide ample authority for requiring that people buy insurance as part of a comprehensive scheme to end "discriminatory insurance practices that have excluded millions of people from coverage based on medical history," in the words of a brief by Solicitor General Donald Verrilli.
The same brief also asserts that uninsured people consume $43 billion a year worth of emergency-room and other health care for which they do not pay, costs that are shifted to insurers and that raise insured families' average premiums by more than $1,000 a year. Critics of the law dispute these numbers.
The 26 states challenging the law (along with a business group and four individuals) say, in the words of a brief by Paul Clement, who was solicitor general under President George W. Bush: "The individual mandate rests on a claim of federal power that is both unprecedented and unbounded: the power to compel individuals to engage in commerce in order more effectively to regulate commerce. This asserted power does not exist. … It is a revolution in the relationship between the central government and the governed."
Clement also stresses that President Barack Obama and his allies in Congress insisted during the debate before the measure became law that the financial penalty for failing to comply with the individual mandate is not a tax. They should not be allowed, he argues, to "enact legislation that would not have passed had it been labeled a tax and then turn around and defend it as a valid exercise of the tax power."
This reconstruction-era statute bars courts from considering the constitutionality of tax laws until payments are due. It will apply here if the court deems the individual mandate's penalty provision a "tax."
Because the mandate is not scheduled to take effect until 2014 and the first penalties would not be due until 2015, the federal courts would not yet have jurisdiction to consider the constitutionality of the penalties or the mandate. In other words, consideration of the case would be postponed until 2015, and, therefore, such a decision would convert the biggest case in decades into the biggest anticlimax in Supreme Court history.
Both sides say that the Anti-Injunction Act does not apply. But the court appointed a lawyer as "friend of the court" to argue that it does, as one federal appeals court held. This appointment signaled the court's care to observe arguable limits on its jurisdiction even when the parties agree that it has jurisdiction.
What are the major arguments on severability?
The government says that if the court strikes down the mandate, it should defer until future cases any ruling on the severability of most other provisions. But, if it does rule on severability, the government maintains that only two other provisions should go down with the mandate. Those are the "guaranteed-issue" and "community-rating" provisions, which bar insurers from denying coverage or charging higher premiums because of medical history. Without the individual mandate, the government says, those provisions would send premiums soaring by creating incentives for healthy people to defer buying insurance until they need health care.
The 26 states argue that the mandate was deemed by Congress to be "necessary to make the other provisions work as intended," and that the court should strike down the whole law.
The court appointed another friend-of-the-court lawyer to write a brief arguing that a decision striking down the mandate should leave the rest of the law -- including guaranteed issue and community rating -- intact.
What are the major arguments on Medicaid?
The government asserts that "it is well settled that Congress's spending power includes the power to fix the terms on which it will disburse funds to the states," that Congress has repeatedly expanded the state-federal Medicaid program, and that this new expansion will not "impose significantly onerous burdens on the states."
The 26 states counter that the Medicaid expansion unconstitutionally coerces them because it "threatens States with the loss of every penny of federal funding under the single largest grant-in-aid program in existence -- literally billions of dollars each year -- if they do not capitulate to Congress' steep new demands."
