Santorum Wins All Three States Tuesday
World News Feb. 10: A resurgent Rick Santorum has been declared the winner in three states. Read more about this and other world news.
Super Admin — February 10, 2012
A resurgent Rick Santorum has been declared the winner in three states, raising questions about Mitt Romney's appeal with conservatives at the core of the Republican Party, reports onenewsnow.com. Santorum picked up a perfect trifecta in Tuesday's ongoing battle for the Republican presidential nomination. The former Pennsylvania senator won big in Missouri and convincingly in Minnesota. But the biggest victory of the night came in Colorado, where Santorum upset Romney, a state the former Massachusetts governor overwhelmingly won in 2008. "Republicans want conservatives," stated Rod Martin, president of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies. "Our supposed frontrunner has no positive message for himself. Mitt Romney, by himself, has not made the sale—and if he can't close this deal pretty soon, this could come completely unraveled on him."
The Catholic bishop of Harrisburg, Pa., has apologized for offending anyone with his recent comments that Hitler and Mussolini "would love" the public school system in Pennsylvania, because it is similar to what they sought to create in their totalitarian states, reports cnsnews.com. But in a statement issued by the diocese of Harrisburg, Bishop Joseph McFadden did not retract comments he made during an interview on Jan. 24 with WHTM-TV, the ABC affiliate in Harrisburg. The bishop made a comparison between the interests of the public school system and totalitarianism, while discussing what he sees as a lack of school choice in Pennsylvania. "In the totalitarian government, they would love our system," McFadden said. "This is what Hitler and Mussolini and all them tried to establish—a monolith; so all the children would be educated in one set of beliefs and one way of doing things." McFadden's comments drew immediate criticism from the Anti-Defamation League and the American Civil Liberties Union, which complained that the bishop had raised the specter of the Holocaust.
California's voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage violates the U.S. Constitution, a federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled Tuesday, reports cnn.com. The decision by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals is expected to be appealed, to either the full court or to the U.S. Supreme Court. But supporters of same-sex marriage cheered the decision when it was announced outside the courthouse Tuesday morning. The 2–1 decision found the ban, known as Proposition 8, "served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationship and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples." That violates the 14th Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law, the decision states. CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin answered questions about the implications of the ruling and his reaction. Concerning whether same-sex marriage can now resume, he said, "No—not yet. The 9th Circuit panel left a stay in place that will continue as long as the defendants in the case continue their appeal. Since the defendants have indicated they will continue their appeals, it is likely to be months before same-sex marriages may resume." He added, "My best guess is that this decision will be the last word, though we will not know for sure for several months. I think it will be upheld in the 9th Circuit, but it will not go to the Supreme Court. It will not create a national precedent. But there are 39 million people in California—that's a lot of people to have same-sex marriage. Technically, the decision applies only to California, but a victory in the nation's biggest state can create its own momentum."
Catholic leaders upped the ante this week, threatening to challenge the Obama administration over a provision of the new health care law that would require all employers, including religious institutions, to pay for birth control. CBS 2's Marcia Kramer reports it could affect the presidential elections. Catholic leaders are furious and determined to harness the voting power of the nation's 70 million Catholic voters to stop a provision of President Barack Obama's new heath car reform bill that will force Catholic schools, hospitals, and charities to buy birth control pills, abortion-producing drugs, and sterilization coverage for their employees. Catholic League head Bill Donohue said Catholic officials will stop at nothing to put a stop to it. "This is going to be fought out with lawsuits, with court decisions, and, dare I say it, maybe even in the streets," Donohue said. This bodes poorly for Obama in November, given that the Catholic vote has chosen the president in nine of the last 10 elections, says cnsnews.com. Pro-choice groups, in contrast, say they will fight the church and fight for the right of employees of Catholic institutions to have birth control and other services paid for.
A New Jersey teachers union chief whose salary tops $300,000 is under fire for saying in a recent interview that "life's not always fair" while arguing against vouchers to send poor students to private schools, reports Fox News. New Jersey Education Association Executive Director Vincent Giordano made the comment on the local New Jersey Capitol Report program over the weekend. During the interview, he was challenged by the host on why low-income families should not have the same options as other families when their child is in a failing school.
Pensacola Christian College Founder and President Arlin Horton has announced his retirement effective May 10, concluding 38 years of exceptional leadership at Pensacola Christian College and 58 years at Pensacola Christian Academy, reports the Florida school. The board of directors unanimously voted Dr. Troy Shoemaker to be the next president with full responsibility over the college, the academy, and all related ministries. Dr. Shoemaker's presidency will begin the day after the May 9 convocation. Dr. Shoemaker, a 1989 PCC graduate, received an education specialist degree from the University of West Florida in 1994 and in 2007 a doctorate of education from PCC.
In a profanity-laced tirade, a Memphis DJ last week used an on-air interview to berate a local Republican congressional candidate, calling her a "token negro" who is doing the bidding of "white folk." DJ Thaddeus Matthews called Charlotte Bergmann, a fellow African-American, "stupid" and referred to her as a "curly-haired nigga." When she walked out of the interview, he refused to shake her hand, saying he didn't want to get her "whiteness" on him. Bergmann told FoxNews.com that, while the web video of the interview has gotten a lot of attention on blogs, local media is largely ignoring it. She said she hasn't gotten any calls from politicians about it. "No organization has spoken out," Bergmann said.
An analyst for the Heritage Foundation says Secretary of Education Arne Duncan's recent call for massive teacher salary hikes is misguided. In a Heritage Foundation report, Jason Richwine said public school teachers are already overpaid when their salaries, including benefits, are compared with those in similar private sector jobs. "So it's not clear how in the current [economic] environment we can raise teacher pay even more and expect that to actually improve teacher quality," Richwine shared in an interview with onenewsnow.com. "We're already paying teachers more than what their skills would merit in the private sector." The Heritage report argues that when "more generous" fringe benefits, including greater job security, are taken into account, teachers in the public school arena make total compensation 52 percent greater than fair market levels. "Teacher compensation could therefore be reduced with only minor effects on recruitment and retention," states the report. "Alternatively, teachers who are more effective at raising student achievement might be hired at comparable cost."
An Iowa Planned Parenthood facility is closing, reports LifeNews.com. The Planned Parenthood facility in Storm Lake, which provided "Telemed" abortions in the small farming community, will be closing its doors on March 1, according to Sue Thayer, onetime manager of the office but now a staunch pro-lifer who led the 40 Days for Life vigil at her former workplace this past fall.
A federal appeals court has upheld the firing of a Christian counselor who lost her job at the Centers for Disease Control for refusing to advise a woman in a homosexual relationship, reports onenewsnow.com. Marcia Walden launched a lawsuit in 2008 saying she was illegally laid off by a company the CDC hired to provide counseling to CDC workers. She said the CDC requested the dismissal. Walden said the layoff violated her free exercise rights under the First Amendment and her rights under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. But on Tuesday, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta upheld a federal judge's dismissal of Walden's claims. "We accept that Ms. Walden's sincerely held religious beliefs prohibit her from encouraging or supporting same-sex relationships though counseling," the court said. But the record in the case is "devoid of evidence" supporting her claim that she was removed because she needed to refer potential clients engaged in same-sex relationships to other counselors. In response, the Alliance Defense Fund has released a statement that reads, "A counselor who is a Christian shouldn't lose her job for upholding the highest professional standards. It is unlawful to punish a Christian for abiding by her faith, particularly when she made every effort to accommodate the interests of a potential client. We are disappointed that the court ruled against these fundamental principles, but we are determining next steps to ultimately vindicate Marcia and the freedoms for which she's fighting."
A U.S. federal judge on Monday allowed the state of Texas to begin enforcing a law requiring abortion providers to show or describe to a woman an ultrasound image of her fetus, but criticized an appeals court that earlier overturned his decision to block parts of the statute, reports Reuters.
The Nebraska state legislature on Tuesday that would strike state taxpayer funding for the Planned Parenthood abortion business moved ahead yesterday following a national debate over the Komen breast cancer charity potentially cutting funding, reports LifeNews.com. Meanwhile, a group focused on uncovering liberal bias in the media says the pro-abortion TV networks played a strategic role in pressuring the Susan G. Komen for the Cure to reverse course and keep funding Planned Parenthood, reports onenewsnow.com. When the nation's most prominent breast-cancer awareness charity announced it would stop donating to the nation's largest abortion-provider, the news outlets for ABC, CBS, and NBC went on the offensive against Komen and sympathized with Planned Parenthood, according to Dan Gainor with the Media Research Center."The major media were acting like press agents for Planned Parenthood—and that's unsurprising," he admits. "There are two articles of faith for people who want to go into media: one of them is that you have to be pro-gay, and the other you have to be pro-abortion. There are people [in the media] who don't meet this construct . . . but there aren't many. Frankly there aren't many even in what purport to be conservative media outlets."
Islamic extremists from the rebel al Shabaab militia in Somalia beheaded a Christian on the outskirts of Mogadishu last month, reports Compass Direct News. The militants fighting the transitional government in Mogadishu murdered Zakaria Hussein Omar, 26, on Jan. 2 in Cee-carfiid village, about 15 kilometers (9 miles) outside of the Somali capital, they said. Omar had worked for a Christian humanitarian organization that al Shabaab banned last year. His body was left lying for 20 hours before nomads found it and carried it into Mogadishu, a close friend said. "We have been communicating with Omar, and he was sharing with me his life as a Christian," the friend said. "Last year he mentioned to me that his life was in danger when the NGO [Non-Governmental Organization] he worked for was banned by the al Shabaab."
Vision to America is warning that while regular Americans can't sell their homes for pennies on the dollar, members of Congress are using Americans' hard-earned tax dollars to increase the values of their land, vacation homes, personal residences, and businesses. Said the report, "A Washington Post investigation reveals that 33 members of Congress have directed more than over $401 million in earmarks and other spending provisions to dozens of public projects that are next to or within about two miles of the lawmakers' own property. Over a year after Washington supposedly got rid of earmarks, these slick elected officials have already found a way around the ban. They're inserting special funds in spending bills that give funds to public works projects in their states. These Capitol Hill crooks have created an enormous slush fund for their own personal profit."
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has caught a lot of flak from conservatives for stating that a Muslim Middle Eastern dictatorship should look elsewhere than the U.S. Constitution for guidance, reports teapartyeconomist.com.
Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.) on Tuesday said that thanks to the Obama administration's delay of the Keystone XL oil pipeline, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper is, at this moment, hawking his nation's excess oil to the Chinese administration, reports cowboybyte.com. "Right now Prime Minister Harper is talking to Hu Jintao, president of China, and believe me, China wants that oil," Hoeven said. "[W]e will see what kind of agreement he comes back with from China." Harper arrived in China on Tuesday with a delegation of Canadian businessmen, and plans to meet with Chinese officials on the topic of energy.

Lost in the World of 4K Ultra HD? No, You Won't!
With the movie studios increasingly weighing more on 4K title releases nowadays, it's safe to assume that 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays are going to take over the living room of every household in the near future. However, if you are just about to follow the trend and are getting lost in the ocean of the 4K world as a beginner, then you just come to the right place. Next, we will guide you through all the details.
What is the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray?
4K Ultra HD Blu-rays, as the name suggest, support 4K Ultra HD (3840 × 2160p) videos encoded using the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard (also known as H.265) and at frame rates up to 60 frames per second. In terms of pixel, that's approximately 8.3 million, four times what you get in Full HD (1920 × 1080p). By cramming such a giant volume of pixels into the same sized TV screens, the image becomes sharper and clearer. In terms of size, the discs themselves can be produced in three sizes: 50GB with support for an 82Mbit/s data rate, 66GB with 108Mbit/s and 100GB with 128Mbit/s. However, the charisma of a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray is not just about the sharpness of its images. It also employs the industries' newest breakthroughs, including the High Dynamic Range (HDR) and the next-gen object-based immersive soundtracks, such as Dolby Atmos. HDR, as designed, delivers a wider range of natural color, brightness, saturation and contrast, which in theory, takes the picture a lot closer to what human eyes can perceive. Dolby Atmos, on the other hand, essentially upgrades the sound effects with more subtlety and location precision.

Where to Get the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Movies?
Buy or Rent Online
Undoubtedly, buying or renting online is still the easiest way to get your hands on the recent blockbusters available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays. And there are many choices out there.
Major e-commerce websites like Amazon and Best Buy, together with hundreds of others, offer amazing deals all the year round, sometimes with great discounts during holiday seasons.
If you are not a collector kind of person, renting your favorite movies from popular rental services, such as RedBox, Rent4K and familyVideo, might be a better way for you.
Buy or Rent Offline
If purchasing online is not really your kind of thing, it is absolutely okay. Maybe you can visit a nearby movie shop or supermart like Walmart to buy or rent the movies or TV shows you want.
The advantage of doing this way is that, if the disc you received is problematic, then you can get it returned and replaced quickly. Do remember to keep the receipt, though.
However, the shortcoming is also obvious. The local store you usually go might not have the movies or TV shows you are looking for, especially when it comes to 4K Blu-rays.
DIY at Home
In addition to buying or renting a movie from a website or a local store, there is a 3rd method you can try — make your own 4K Blu-ray movies at home, with a 4K UHD authoring software.
DVDFab UHD Creator is the world's 1st consumer-level 4K UHD authoring software for users to make premium 4K Blu-rays at home, with their personal videos of all formats.
The produced 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays technically conform to industry standard. That's to say, they should be able to play back hassle-free on any standalone home 4K UHD Players.
How to Watch the 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Movies?
Now that I got my favorite movies and TV Shows on 4K Blu-rays, how do I watch them? To answer this question, you first need to decide where you want to watch the 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays. The most agreed approach is, of course, still the traditional way – via a 4K UHD Disc Player. However, 4K UHD Disc Players are way more costly than regular Blu-ray Disc Players, not everyone would like to make the upgrade.
Luckily, there are some alternatives to the 4K UHD Disc Player — the Android set-top boxes that not only play 4K UHD Blu-ray ISO files and folders, when hooked up with an external 4K UHD Drive, can also play back 4K Blu-ray discs. Some of these STBs are way less expensive than the traditional 4K UHD Disc Players, among which, DVDFab Movie Server is a fine example.
DVDFab Movie Server is an all-in-one multimedia playback and management center featuring native menu support on DVDs, Blu-rays and 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays, the exclusive Poster Wall, lossless audio output, smart media library sorting and managing, and tons of other stunning capacities (the feature to play back physical discs from an external optical drive is already on the to-do list).
That said, if you are not really into an Android set-top box kind of thing. It's okay, we still have other approaches out there. Next, let's go over the scenarios we can think of one by one.
On an HTPC System
Usually, people who have an HTPC at home will very likely have a giant-screen display dedicated to that HTPC. In today's standard, that huge display device is most likely a 4K UHD TV.
An HTPC usually does not have an optical drive. However, it can directly play back 4K Blu-ray ISO files or folders, with a 4K UHD player software, such as DVDFab Player 5 (Ultra).
If you do want to watch a physical 4K Blu-ray disc, then you will need an external 4K UHD Drive hooked up to your HTPC. It's easy to find relevant models on Amazon made by major brands, such as LG.
On a Desktop/Laptop
It's already no secret that nowadays, desktops and even laptops are coming up with 4K or better screens. If you've just grabbed one of these monsters, then you can watch 4K Blu-rays there.
Unlike an HTPC that usually has a smaller size, a desktop or laptop has more space for an optical drive. If yours comes with a 4K UHD Drive, then you are lucky; if not, find an external one on Amazon.
However, if you already have the ISO files or folders of the 4K Blu-rays saved on your hard drives, then the only thing you still in need, similar to on an HTPC, is a 4K UHD player software, such as DVDFab Player 5 (Ultra).
On Non-4K Devices
In spite of being increasingly popular, not everyone is ready to jump from regular Blu-rays to 4K Blu-rays. After all, 4K Blu-rays and everything related to them are not money-friendly, as least for now.
Therefore, what if someone sends you a 4K Blu-ray disc as a birthday or holiday gift, but you don't have a 4K TV, nor a 4K UHD Player to watch it on? There is no need to worry about that.
You can choose to downscale and convert the 4K Blu-ray to standard Blu-ray specification to watch on a non-4K Blu-ray player or HDTV. DVDFab UHD to Blu-ray Converter is particularly designed for this circumstance.
Sidenotes: In consideration of the HDR contents that 4K Ultra Blu-rays offer, it's better that your 4K UHD TV is HDR capable; Ideally, you'd also have a receiver that supports object-based audios, Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. Though it's not a must-have, it does make the audio experience way more astounding.
4K Blu-rays Are Pricey, How to Keep Them Safe?
4K Ultra HD Blu-ray movie disc can each store around 70GB of data, but similar to DVDs and Blu-rays, these discs have a tendency to get lost or damaged over time. When either of these tragic events happens, the data on the disc becomes unusable or impossible to recover. Therefore, making backup copies is what people usually do to keep their precious DVDs, Blu-rays and 4K Blu-rays safe from being damaged.
Make Backup Copies
It's true that 4K Blu-rays are still not budget-friendly as of now. Plus the fact that any physical disc wears out after being played for many times, or mishandled. Therefore, to preserve and keep them safe becomes a real headache, until the introduction of the 4K UHD copy software products, such as DVDFab UHD Copy.
DVDFab UHD Copy can copy the main movie title or the entire disc of a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray movie off the original disc, and then save the content as a 1:1 lossless or compressed ISO file, or burn the compressed content to blank BD50/25 discs. In the process, both the Dolby Vision and the HDR10 video quality can be preserved.
Convert to Digital Videos
Compared to making physical hard copies, ISO files or folders, converting a 4K Blu-ray to a single on-demand digital video can not only save you huge money on blank medium, but also your rising investment on 4K streaming services from Netflix, Amazon, Apple and the likes. With the help of DVDFab UHD Ripper, you can do that in a few mouse clicks.
DVDFab UHD Ripper, possibly the best 4K Ultra Blu-ray ripper software out there, can convert a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray movie into MKV/M2TS formats, with lossless or 4K HEVC 10-bit video quality. This means, after putting the discs on shelf, you can still enjoy your favorite 4K Blu-rays on your 4K UHD TV.
Remove Cinavia Watermarks
When copying or converting 4K Blu-rays, it is inevitable that you will come across the notorious Cinavia watermark. It is employed to prevent you from making backups, even for home purposes. For such a long period, it is tagged as unbeatable, but not anymore, with the introduction of DVDFab UHD Cinavia Removal, the 1st of its kind in the entire world.
It can help remove the notorious Cinavia watermarks planted in the audio tracks of most 4K Bu-rays, producing the lossless Cinavia-free backups or on-demand digital videos that shall never mute in the middle of the playback process, not even when the 4K Blu-ray playback device installed with a Cinavia detector performs a firmware update in the future.
Sidenotes: As of now, DVDFab already supports most of the 4K Blu-rays, and the number is still growing on a daily basis. And among those supported titles, some are Cinavia-infected, you can Check the List anytime. What's more, to make sure DVDFab can work as expected, it is highly advised that you also check out our Supported UHD Drive List. One more thing to keep in mind: DVDFab does not support rented discs, and do not use our products for any commercial purposes.
Interested in the Above-Mentioned UHD Products?
Evolution never stops in nature, nor does it in the media storage sector. As Blu-rays gradually edges out DVDs in old days, it is just a matter of time for the 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays to do the same to regular Blu-rays. Therefore, if you are ready to move forward to jump on the boat of 4K realm, we would be very glad to help you in that process!

A lifetime's experiences of physical phenomena
& materialisations through the mediumship
of Minnie Harrison
Saturday Night Club
Life After Death: Living Proof
By Tom Harrison
If you are not in the UK, please contact info@snppbooks.com before you place your order.
Now available as an e-book:
Amazon UK Amazon.com
Tom, born into a Spiritualist family, in 1918, has experienced psychic phenomena from an early age. His mother, Minnie, had developed her natural mediumistic gifts from childhood. In 1946 as one of the original members of their weekly home circle in Middlesbrough, with his mother as the medium, he witnessed the breathtakingly unique and rapid progress of the physical phenomena.
This book gives us not only a brief introduction to the man himself but details the development of the home circle, with his mother as the medium, and the amazing phenomena which they witnessed in only 32 weeks – apports, telekinesis, spirit lights, voices through the 'trumpet' megaphone, spirit writing, ectoplasmic hands against a painted plaque and then full ectoplasmic materialisations in red light with the medium still sitting with them in the circle.
Over the next seven years more than 1,500 ectoplasmic materialised Spirit people were greeted and embraced by the circle and their scores of visitors, to whom was proved the reality of Life After Death.
Many of these accounts are taken directly from the circle notes that Tom made each week and illustrated by the photographs they took, solely for his mother's benefit so she could see what they were seeing.
Thirty-five years after his mother's passing into the Spirit world Tom was again sitting regularly in another physical circle with Stewart Alexander and some of the special times in that circle are also recorded in the book, together with the account of the wonderful mass long-distance healing which Tom experienced when he was in hospital in Spain in 2007.
Originally published in 2004 this revised edition was brought into print in 2008 to be able to include this amazing healing session when the healing energy of almost 100 people sitting together helped three specifically named people – Tom in Spain, a lady in York and a man in Glasgow.
A book with an easy-to-read style which many have read over and over again
Publisher: Saturday Night Press Publications; Current Revised Edition (26 Jun 2008)
Product Dimensions: 21.3 x 13.7 cm (5.5" x 8.5")
A Breathtaking Experience
We had been sitting for only eight months when during Sitting 32 on 7th Dec. 1946 we were astounded to have such a phenomenal and breathtaking experience; truly 'out of this world'. We met our first fully formed ectoplasmic materialised Spirit person! It may not have been as grandiose or stupendous as Spielberg's block-buster film, 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' many years later, but for us it was amazingly awe-inspiring in a far more intimate manner. Here in this everyday friendly sitting room adjacent to Sydney and Gladys' shop, with the door and windows locked, we opened and closed our Sitting that evening with seven of us round the fireplace, yet, for a few precious minutes during that Sitting there were eight of us, all clearly visible to each other in the red light which illuminated the room during the whole Sitting of some 45 minutes. The eighth person who joined us for that brief time was none other than Aunt Agg, who had been in the Spirit World for almost four years, since November 1942.
Firstly let me remind you that ectoplasm is not a 'ghostly, vapour-like' substance, which simply floats around the atmosphere. It is a tangible, transmutative material produced by the Spirit chemists/scientists from within the body of the medium. How they produce it cannot be explained by our current scientific terminology - in the same way that I could not explain or describe to a person blind from birth, any colour in the spectrum. But let me assure you they do create it in the medium and it emanates from one or more orifices such as the mouth, nostrils, ears or solar plexus. In my mother's mediumship it generally came from the mouth, as will be seen from the infra-red photograph in this book. On this particular evening we sat in the red light with my mother in full view of everyone in the room, sitting on her usual dining chair at the end of the semi-circle of sitters around the fireplace. I always sat immediately opposite her at the other end of the semi-circle and could clearly see anything that happened. We sat for at least half an hour and nothing had happened - which was most unusual. We were beginning to think there would be no phenomena that evening, when we saw this white disc, about two feet diameter, on the floor between my mother and myself.
Because of the smallness of the room I was never more than five feet from my mother and could clearly see this white disc, which was linked to my mother, who was now in deep trance control and knew nothing about what was happening. As you will have read from the previous chapters, we had seen and felt ectoplasmic hands but had never seen such a large quantity of ectoplasm. We were all very excited of course and as we chatted we saw this disc begin to build into a vertical white column, which grew to about five feet of solid ectoplasm! "Amazing" we said! We then expected the column to simply gradually diminish and let the ectoplasm return to my mother - but that did not happen. The column remained still for a few minutes whilst we all stared at it, getting more and more excited. Then, as I was watching it, the top of it twisted towards me and I could just see there was the semblance of a face in it, but I could not have recognised who it was.
From the body of the column there then appeared two hands and arms covered by the ectoplasmic 'robes' of the person who was standing in front of me. As the hands approached me, I instinctively stretched out my arms and hands towards them - not in any way frightened as it all seemed so natural, but still a little apprehensive I suppose, about meeting a materialised Spirit person so close for the first time. Our hands engaged and I then realised that in my right hand I was being given four beautiful carnations, apports. As I grasped the flowers very tightly, my two hands were firmly clasped by the warm ectoplasmic hands in front of me. I then heard, quietly but clearly, from the face above me, the words "For you, for you." The hands and arms went back into the 'column' of ectoplasm and it then shrunk, slowly towards the floor, as the ectoplasm returned to my mother and we were all left exceedingly breathless after such a unique experience.
As for me, there I was sitting on my chair opposite my mother, with my mouth wide open, still tightly grasping the four carnations I had received a few moments before, trying to appreciate the full meaning of my 'brief encounter' of a most wonderful kind! We later learned that our first visitor had been Aunt Agg, who because of her mediumistic qualities and empathy with her sister often became the 'test pilot'. I still found it difficult to comprehend fully the significance of her visit, but there was no question about her presence as confirmed by the beautiful carnations I was still grasping many minutes afterwards. We shared them amongst us and mine still has prime position in my folder of Memorabilia.
The name, Saturday Night Press, was coined in 1989 when Tom Harrison wanted to publish the first booklet about his mother's mediumship entitled 'Visits by our Friends from the Other Side'.
Their Home Circle back in the 1940/50s, with his mother Minnie Harrison as the medium, had been known as the Saturday Night Club so he adopted that name to register a publishing company.

anyone else notice that is a pellet gun not a shotgun


During the legislative session, Texas had an opportunity to accept a path to coverage for hundreds of thousands of working poor Texans, who otherwise will remain uninsured. Some of the strongest voices calling for Texas to accept this coverage expansion came from the private sector. That support has remained strong in the months since the session ended without elected officials taking action on this important matter. First, some background: The Affordable Care Act allows Texas and other states to draw down federal funding that would fully pay for coverage for its poorest citizens. Sometimes called "Medicaid expansion" and other times, given the various approaches states are taking to expanding coverage, simply a "health care solution," this initially was written into the law in a way that would make it automatic for every citizen below the poverty line (and some slightly above it, too). When the Supreme Court ruled on the constitutionality of the nation's health law, however, they made this coverage optional for states. Texas is among the hold-outs, refusing to accept the funding and the path to coverage, even though it would create jobs, help local economies and give Texans financial security and peace of mind.
In the spring, our Texas Well and Healthy campaign, in partnership with other health care advocacy groups, mapped out support for a health care solution. As you can see, the support was widespread and included more than 20 business groups and chambers of commerce around the state.
Since then, even more chambers of commerce have chimed in in support of drawing down federal funds to cover more Texans. In emails to our friends at Consumers Union, representatives of the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce, the Huntsville-Walker County Chamber of Commerce, and the Texas Association of African American Chambers of Commerce all confirmed support for a health care solution to get the nearly 1 million Texans covered who otherwise are likely to remain uninsured.
In the future, the governor and lawmakers can choose differently. What has been called "Medicaid expansion" for states actually offers a lot of flexibility. For example, it may mean covering those eligible for Medicaid under this part of the Affordable Care Act using private insurance in the health insurance marketplace.
In a recent visit to Texas, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius indicated the administration is open to a "uniquely Texan" approach like that, so people here, regardless of income, can get the health coverage they need.
If they don't, then even with the other improvements in coverage we'll see next year, there will continue to be far too many uninsured Texans. The uninsured will still be forced to seek care in the costliest possible places, which are our hospital emergency rooms.
When those patients can't pay for that care, as so often happens, the cost will keep getting passed along. That means higher local taxes and higher insurance premiums for businesses and individuals.
It's simply not financially prudent to keep asking local communities to foot the bill for our uninsured when better options exist. Texas economists have said extending coverage just to the 1 million people who would qualify for Medicaid expansion would generate an extra $300 billion in economic activity over a decade for our state.
Texas can and must embrace solutions that get more people in our state covered. Many businesses will tell you: the sooner the better.

Here's What Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Wedding Might Be Like
It's very likely that it will be more low-key than Kate and William's nuptials.
By Katie Frost
After the announcement that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are engaged, speculation is already mounting as to what the wedding will look like. Here, we round up what could be in store.
Permission to Marry
Before he officially proposed, the prince first had to receive permission from the Queen. According to the Successions to the Crown Act, the first six in line to the throne need the monarch's authorisation (Harry is currently fifth in line). It is also widely believed that a special license from the Archbishop of Canterbury would be needed, given the fact Markle was previously married to film and TV producer Trevor Engelson.
The Queen with her grandson in 2015
In 2005, the Queen granted her son Prince Charles permission to marry Camilla Parker Bowles, despite the fact that Camilla had been divorced and was also Charles' mistress. Today, it was less of a worry for Markle, which is welcome news to those who recall Princess Margaret's heartbreaking decision in 1955, when she broke off her relationship with the divorced Captain Peter Townsend in the name of duty.
Who Is Meghan Markle's Ex-Husband?
There has been some question as to whether or not Harry would be allowed to marry divorcée Markle in Westminster Abbey, the venue for his brother Prince William's 2011 ceremony. However, a spokesman for the Abbey recently confirmed that their marriage could take place in one of the world's most famous churches thanks to a recent ruling by the Church of England. "The Abbey follows the General Synod Ruling of 2002," the spokesperson said. "Since then it has been possible for divorced people to be married in the Church of England."
The spokesman also confirmed that the fact that Markle's father is Jewish would not in any way prevent her marrying there. (Although a royal is free to marry someone of the Jewish, Buddhist, or Muslim faith, it was outlawed for a royal to marry a Catholic and still "keep their right to the throne" until a change was made in 2015.)
While the prince might be welcome to hold his nuptials at the Abbey, he could also follow in his father's footsteps. When Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005, they had a civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall. This was said to be a way of avoiding controversy about the future head of the Church of England marrying divorced person, and according to one royal expert, Harry could do the same.
"Meghan is, after all, a divorcée, so it would probably be a registry office ceremony with a church blessing afterwards," royal biographer Penny Junor told Town & Country. "If it was to be in the U.K., then I would guess that all senior members of the royal family would be there, but I don't think the Queen would go to the registry office."
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall on their wedding day in Windsor, April 2005
It's worth noting that the Queen did not attend her eldest son's civil ceremony. Instead, she attended the later service of dedication conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury and hosted a wedding reception for hundreds of guests at Windsor Castle.
William and Kate React to Harry's Engagement
It's likely that Harry and Meghan will have their choice of royal venues in which to party, but we shouldn't expect their nuptials to be a repeat of what we've recently seen from the royal family.
William and Kate's carriage procession
After their Westminster Abbey ceremony, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge greeted the thousands of well-wishers who waited to see catch a glimpse of the carriage procession back to Buckingham Palace, where the Queen hosted a lunch for 650 guests. They later enjoyed an evening reception for their most trusted friends and family inside the Palace. And while Pippa didn't celebrate in a royal location, her wedding celebration in the grounds of her parents' Berkshire home was reported to have cost around £240,000.
Pippa Middleton celebrated her nuptials in a glass marquee on the grounds of her family home
From castles to palaces, Harry and Markle will have a number of options to choose from. The wedding could even be abroad. "Will it even be in the U.K.?" Junor asks. "My guess is it would be way less extravagant than Pippa Middleton's and much lower-key than William and Kate's wedding."
Royal Precedent
With around 1,900 guests invited to the Westminster Abbey service and a global television audience estimated at two billion people, Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding was a major production. Yet history shows that the weddings of second siblings in the royal family aren't always understated either.
Sarah, the Duchess of York and Prince Andrew on their wedding day in July 1986.
Both Princess Anne, the Queen's second child, and her younger brother Prince Andrew got married in Westminster Abbey. Anne's marriage to Mark Phillips in 1973 was declared a public holiday and both occasions attracted a global television audience of an estimated 500 million. The royals also followed the tradition of having a carriage procession after the ceremony, which is a chance for the newlyweds to wave to the crowds before they appear on the balcony at Buckingham Palace for the moment everyone is waiting for—the first public kiss.
But could Harry follow Prince Edward's example of a more private wedding day? Edward was the only one of Charles' siblings not to follow the pattern of previous royal weddings when he married Sophie Rhys-Jones in 1999. The couple chose to have the ceremony at St. George's Chapel in Windsor and according to the BBC, their reception St. George's Hall was primarily for family and friends.
Whether Harry and Meghan follow the tradition of a grand royal wedding or not, one thing is for sure, it will be the society event of the year.

Is Pat Barry Rose Namajunas's Husband? Look At The Pair's Love Life And Relationship

Pat Barry and Rose Namajunas are engaged couple yet to be married. Image Source: Getty Images.
How Did Pat Barry And Rose Namajunas' Love Rise?
Patt Barry's Battles With Addiction And Hurting Rose Namajunas
So Perfect For Each Other
Well, the lovely pair, Pat Barry and Rose Namajunas are an engaged couple and have been each other's partners for a long time now. Pat Barry is Rose Namajunas' fiancé and soon to be husband. Both Pat and Rose are MMA fighters and are well-known for their outstanding careers.
But Rose's soon to be husband Pat Barry retired from MMA in late 2013 and returned to kickboxing, joining Glory the following year. On the other hand, Pat Barry's soon to be wife Rose Namajunas holds the title of former UFC Women's Strawweight Champion. The lovely couple is so perfect for each other. So, let's get straight down to know more about the pair's love life and relationship.
We could say Pat Barry and Rose Namajunas' meeting was a small fight. That day, Barry was sparring at Roufusport, working on his stand-up game. Out of nowhere, Rose, whom Pat described as 'tiny waif of a girl' who was competing for a UFC championship, came over and punched him in the side of the face.
Pat was stunned and he turned to look at her. Rose asked, "You're Pat Barry, right?" Pat said he is. And Namajunas gave him a fighting tip saying, "Well, you should have seen that coming," Anyway, this is Barry's side of the story.

Rose Namajunas just had no idea about the incident. She also said it did not happen the way Pat said. She did not remember it. But now, the two love birds perhaps have the flashback of the start of their love for each other.
Plus, Pat had love at first sight when he saw her. He also remembers a lot about the early days and how Rose's beauty, poise, and attitude struck him hard. As for Pat Barry's partner, it took a little longer to feel the same way about him. Nonetheless, his charm eventually wore her down at last.
The love birds got engaged with each other in 2014. They couldn't be happier enough with their love life and relationship. Pat and Rose have come a long way indeed.
Everything came down because of a pizza. In 2017, Pat Barry had finished a sparring session with Brock Lesnar in Alexandra, Minn. And you know, what's a little pizza without a drink? Barry started buying shots, seeking to diffuse any potential tension. A lot happened there, and after some heated words with a local, Barry was in jail. His priorities skewed towards whiskey and prescription pain pills for too long.
That behavior affected his training and fights. Namajunas broke down crying over Barry's history with substance abuse. It also affected Rose's career and her performances didn't seem quite right. Barry blamed himself as the outside distraction. He also claimed she should've been the world champ. So, Pat Barry said that he was not doing that any more.

Now, the two lovers have found a different lifestyle, a path they like a lot better. It's not easy to be in committed relationships. Pat and Rose fought with their issues and made the best relationship for sure. They have shown how love beats every problem with time.
Barry probably knew that Namajunas was the one for him. He knew she had a special talent since the day they met. The lovely couple is so perfect for each other.

. Following extensive advertising, many character reveals, and a lot of great feedback from professional gamers who have tried the game, it's the best pre-selling game on Nintendo Switch and is set to be one of the biggest games of the year.
The crossover fighting game which has featured on the Nintendo 64, GameCube, Wii, Wii U, and 3DS now evolves into a game for the Nintendo Switch, celebrating its long-awaited launch with a massive roster that includes the likes of Yoshi, Link, Falco, Pikachu, Sonic, Pac-Man, and, of course, Mario and Luigi. But, aside from creating a game that fans of a huge range of franchises can enjoy, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will also be making a huge push into the world of esports.
Nintendo has gained a lot of momentum at eSports fighting game events with its previous editions of Super Smash Bros. From Melee on the GameCube to the Wii U release, the Super Smash Bros. games often have the most entrants at each of the Evo fighting game events, per Venture Beat.
The last Super Smash Bros. game came out in 2014, just before the world of eSports began to hit the mainstream. Despite this, Melee (2001) has rewarded $2.8 million in prizes, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (2014) has given out $1.4 million in winnings, and Brawl (2008) has paid around $240,000 in competition winnings, according to esports Earnings. Ultimate is set to eclipse them all as it's being released at a prime time for the industry.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate has clearly been designed by Nintendo to be the next big esports sensation. According to ElecSpo, Ultimate has over 103 stages that are ready for competitive play, as well as options that seem destined as the basis of competitive tournaments. It's expected to be the game that brings individual fan bases of the old Super Smash Bros. together to form the ultimate fighting game for both casual and professional competition.
The popularity to make Ultimate a huge game is certainly there as its previous editions have held up among gamers. Melee, with its $2.8 million dished out in prize money, has held over 2400 tournaments. The only other game which has held more tournaments is the ever-present Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, for which the ongoing competitions can be bet on at MoPlay. Nintendo will undoubtedly push to boat out with Ultimate; likely leading to wave after wave of exciting contests for people can compete for at a professional level.
Given the immense amount of hype for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and the continued high praises sung by those who have tried it, there's no doubt that it'll be a huge hit upon release. Then, Nintendo will work its magic further, creating what will likely be the biggest fighter eSports title in existence.

Claiming Compensation For Cauda Equina Syndrome
You are here: Home / 2019 / January / 08 / Claiming Compensation For Cauda Equina Syndrome
8th January 2019 by Healys
For sufferers of Cauda Equina Syndrome, failure or delay in diagnosis can have permanent and life-changing consequences. Those who have been misdiagnosed or who have developed the condition as a result of another medical procedure may be able to claim compensation.
Cauda Equina Syndrome is a rare but severe narrowing of the spinal canal, and sudden compression of the nerves at the end of the spinal column. These nerves, named for their resemblance to a horses tail (Cauda Equina in Latin) carry signals to the pelvic region and the legs, and when damaged can cause problems such as back pain, numbness or weakness in and between the legs, and incontinence.
There are many different causes of Cauda Equina Syndrome, including trauma to and infection or tumours of the spine, as well as other conditions such as Lumbar Spinal Stenosis. Whatever the cause, it is imperative that an accurate diagnosis be made as soon as possible. Cauda Equina Syndrome can progress quickly and suddenly, and may require hospital admission and surgery. The symptoms of Cauda Equina Syndrome are, however, similar to other conditions such as sciatica, and the syndrome is known to be difficult to diagnose.
It is for this reason that sometimes this condition is misdiagnosed or not diagnosed at all; and there have been several high-profile news stories concerning patients having been prematurely turned away from urgently needed medical treatment. This year, the MPS and NICE have revised the "red flags" which should be heeded during diagnosis: symptoms which when presented could indicate Cauda Equina. These changes are hoped to make it easier for healthcare professionals to make correct, timely and effective referrals in the future.
The personal accounts of patients and recent research by the MPS has shown that failure or delay in the diagnosis and treatment of Cauda Equina can lead to serious disability in those affected. Cauda Equina Syndrome frequently requires surgical intervention in the form of decompression of the nerve cluster; and any delay to surgery means that debilitating symptoms can become permanent. Victims may suffer from chronic pain, numbness, reduced mobility and loss of control of the bowel and bladder. Despite treatment, a poor outcome occurs in approximately 20% of people, and some will continue to experience these problems after surgery.
Jonathan Austen-Jones, Medical Negligence partner, says: "Cauda Equina Syndrome is a medical emergency, which if not properly diagnosed and treated can lead to life-changing injuries and consequences. Due to the severe and permanent disabilities that can occur as a result, the non-diagnosis or misdiagnosis of Cauda Equina Syndrome is among the top errors made by GPs that led to the most expensive compensation claims. "
If you feel that you have suffered from missed or delayed diagnosis or treatment of Cauda Equina Syndrome, or have developed the condition as a result of another medical procedure, you may be able to seek compensation to help with rehabilitation and treatment, and to fund any adjustments necessary to your home or lifestyle.

Perfect swings on the edge, the thrill of speed – this is the flow feeling most skiers want. With the new "Sons of a Blast" collection, Salomon also wants to convey the adrenaline rush of professional skiers to non-professionals. This can even be paired with the comfort of ski boots warmed up via app.
The new Salomon ski offer a better power transmission and edge grip.
Salomon aims to give more skiers the experience of this incomparable feeling. Therefore, Salomon has worked two and a half years to develop a completely new collection with the support of former top athletes, ski instructors, trainers, and engineers.
"Ski boots as well as skis, plate, and binding are 100 percent successful. The boots offer incredible performance and fit with minimal weight. Combined with the skis, this enables an incredible power transmission and a brute edge grip – absolutely progressive and not to be compared with anything that's ever been seen before," former top athlete Albert Meier, also known as Alemax, raves. He helped develop the collection.
The secret behind the new riding experience is the so-called Edge Amplifier Technology, which is the heart of the new top skis S/Max Blast and S/Race Rush. The newly developed ski and binding system directs power to the edge of the ski, for instant grip and more efficient turns. The 100% power transmission gives the skier greater grip on the edge, an improved feel for the skis' contact with the snow, and easier access to the curve. This is the perfect combination for that total adrenaline rush on the slopes.
In the S/Max Blast ski, a wooden core provides stability and reduces vibrations at the same time. Two layers of titanium, its sandwich sidewall construction, and the high-quality binding system ensure maximum responsiveness and perception. The shape of the ski enables precision and flow between turns, as well as extremely precise performance on hard snow.
The matching S/Max 130 boot was also developed from scratch: The core frame of the boot has a thinner housing with a built-in frame reinforcement. The new construction provides an improved ground feel, and thus a more direct power transmission to the edges. The preformed, seamless inner lining is more comfortable, and can also be perfectly customized for the skier in just ten minutes with the Custom Shell HD fitting process.
The new Edge Amplifier Technology gives a whole new sensation to skiing.
The S/Race Rusk ski is the new all-round ski from Salomon's "Sons of a Blast" collection. The high-performance ski promises skiers the same adrenaline kick as a professional on the alpine racetrack. The S/Race Rush also enables elegant turns with perfect edge pressure. A race-based wooden core, two layers of titanium, and the complete sandwich sidewall construction give the ski stability and power at high speed and lightning fast course changes.
To enable more direct power transmission in the high-speed range, the S/Race Rush ski stands on a P79 plate & X12 TL binding, with a lower plate under the heel. It can be adjusted for different boot sizes without using tools. The matching S/Max Carbon boot has a new core housing that makes it lighter, more agile, and more sensitive than the other models in its class.
Salomon has also developed a whole new feature when it comes to ski boots: Skiers can use an app to heat their ski boots before setting off. The new Custom Heat Connect System works similar to a remote-controlled car starter, communicating with the ski boots via Bluetooth.
Customers can download the matching app free of charge from the app store when they buy a pair of Salomon ski boots. This allows the desired temperature to be set and even a timer to determine when the boots should warm up. That way, skiing fans can pull on a set of warm ski boots when they hit the slopes in the morning.
Starting autumn/winter 2019, Salomon will also make it possible to heat other Salomon ski boot models via app.


Activation of GPR4 by acidosis inhibits tumor cell migration, invasion and metastasis.
Melanoma and Prostate Cancer are two of the most diagnosed forms of cancer in the United States. The ability to metastasize and colonize in a distant location is one of the most devastating hallmarks of cancer as modes of treatment are severely limited and often inefficient. As cancer accounts for one out of every four deaths in the United States, there is no doubt as to the necessity to develop novel strategies to combat cancer progression. Cancer research has transformed to not only target the actual tumor cells, but also the tumor microenvironment as it is known to play a strong role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression. The defining characteristics of the tumor microenvironment are hypoxia, acidosis and high interstitial fluid pressure, and these characteristics actively select for resistant tumor cells, conferring a progressive phenotype. GPR4, a G-protein coupled receptor, has recently been shown to act as a proton sensor, and as acidosis is a defining characteristic of the tumor microenvironment and GPR4 expression is detected in a wide array of human tissues, it is thought GPR4 may influence tumor cell progression. Therefore, it is the purpose of this study to analyze the biological function acidosis activation of GPR4 has on the ability of tumor cells to acquire a motile and metastatic phenotype. Through a series of cell motility, migration and invasion assays we have determined that GPR4 is activated by acidosis, and that this activation inhibits the motility, migratory and invasive ability of GPR4 overexpressing tumor cells. Furthermore, using a pulmonary melanoma metastasis model, we have shown that GPR4 overexpression significantly decreases the ability for in vivo metastasis of tumor cells. To deduce a possible molecular mechanism by which the inhibitory phenotype is acquired, it was found that GPR4 activation increases the occurrence of actin stress fibers in tumor cells, indicative of upregulation of the G12/13-Rho pathway. Furthermore, treatment with CN01, a known cell permeable Rho activator, significantly inhibited both the motility and in vivo metastasis of treated tumor cells. In conclusion, it was found that GPR4 is activated by acidosis, and that this activation inhibits the ability for motility, migration and invasion in tumor cells. Furthermore, GPR4 overexpression inhibits the ability for metastasis in a murine model, and it appears that activation of the small GTPase Rho is at least partially involved in the observed motility and metastasis inhibitory phenotypes.

Q: AJAX Show error in the modal form without reloading the page I have two modals form in index.php, one for login and one for register. From the login modal you access the register form. I want to show in the register modal form an error without reloading the page or to redirect to another page.
I use ajax, but after submit, the page redirects to a blank page register.php and shows 1.
In register form I have an empty div

The register.php it is the action for form and looks like
 if ($count == 0) {
    if ($check == 1)
        $query = "INSERT INTO ..
    elseif ($check == 2)
        $query = "INSERT INTO ..
    else {
        $query = "INSERT INTO ..
    }

    if ($db->query($query)) {
        echo "1";
    } else {
        echo "2";
    }
} else {
    echo "3";
}

In js I have
$("#btn-rg").on('submit',function (e) {
     e.preventDefault();
     var form=$(this);
     $.ajax({
        url : 'register.php',
        type : 'POST',
        data : $('#id02').serialize(),
        success : function (msg) {
            if(msg=="1") $('#error-reg').html('success');
        },
        error: function (msg) {
             if(msg=="2") $('#error-reg').html('Error while registering.Please try again');
              if(msg=="3") $('#error-reg').html('The username already exists.');
    }
});

});

A: In php, you just echo a number and browser would interpret it as success.
You can change your js file:
$("#btn-rg").on('submit', function(e) {
     e.preventDefault();
     var form = $(this);
     $.ajax({
        url: 'register.php',
        type: 'POST',
        data: $('#id02').serialize(),
        success: function(msg) {
            if (msg == "1") $('#error-reg').html('success');
            if (msg == "2") $('#error-reg').html('Error while registering.Please try again');
            if (msg == "3") $('#error-reg').html('The username already exists.');
        }
    });
});

Not sure it will work, you may can do that alternatively by adjusting your php file by throwing a http error code.
if ($count == 0) {
    if ($check == 1)
        $query = "INSERT INTO .."
    else if ($check == 2)
        $query = "INSERT INTO .."
    else {
        $query = "INSERT INTO .."
    }

    if ($db->query($query)) {
        echo "1";
    } else {
        echo "2";
        http_response_code(400);
    }
} else {
    echo "3";
    http_response_code(400);
}


Stoke City's 380th and final Premier League fixture (for at least one season) and they marked the occasion with a win which came far too late to save their necks.
Paul Lambert's short reign was book-ended by victories - his only victories - as Badou Ndiaye and Peter Crouch hit back for Stoke after the loss of an early goal to Andy King.
Swansea: Fabianksi, Rangel, Olsson van der Hoorn, Mawson, King (Britton,57), Carroll, Routledge (Abraham67), Dyer (Clucas,68), A Ayew, J Ayew.
Stoke: Butland, Bauer, Pieters, Shawcross, Zouma, Allen (Fletcher,8), Ndiaye, Sorensen (Ireland,76), Shaqiri, Diouf, Crouch.
Oli McBurnie. Knows this league well after hitting nine in 17 league games on loan to Barnsley last season before returning to claim four in seven so far this.
Cameron Carter-Vickers and Courtney Baker-Richardson. Far too many double-barrelled names to stumble over for our poor radio commentators.
Kevin Friend (Leics). It's just like being back in the Premier League with this fella in charge of his first Stoke City game since that narrow 5-0 defeat at Chelsea on December 30.
Stoke: Butland, Martina, Pieters, Shawcross, Martins Indi, Woods, Etebo, Allen, Ince, Afobe, Diouf.
Swansea: Mulder, van der Hoorn, Roder, Roberts, John, Naughton, Mckay, Grimes, Asoro, Carter-Vickers, McBurnie.
Tom Ince's deflected shot edges Stoke in front just before half-time and Benik Afobe heads a second for 2-0 just after.


For Chrysler LLC dealers who have struggled as the automaker's sales have plunged, the announcement of a new global partner — Fiat S.p.A. — was good news.
The alliance will give Chrysler access to Fiat's small-car platforms, powertrains and components. Fiat-designed vehicles will be built at Chrysler plants and sold through Chrysler dealerships. In turn, Fiat's distribution network will sell Chrysler vehicles in markets outside the United States.
Chuck Eddy, owner of Bob and Chuck Eddy Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep in Austintown, Ohio, said the Chrysler-Fiat alliance is great news for dealers.
"We don't build a little car, and they don't build a big car," said Eddy, who was an Alfa Romeo dealer for several years the last time that brand sold vehicles in the United States. Alfa Romeo, a Fiat brand, stopped exporting cars to the United States in 1995. Alfa Romeo now sells the low-volume, high-performance Competizione through Maserati dealerships and has been pondering a full return.
Said Wes Lutz, owner of Extreme Dodge in Jackson, Mich.: "I go to Europe and I see thousands and thousands of Fiats running around. They've got diesel technology and small-car platforms. I don't know what it costs to develop a platform, but I think it's very expensive. If you've got a proven platform, why not share?"
"I think it's a great strategic move," said Jerry Golinvaux, president of Roseville Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge in Roseville, Minn., a Minneapolis suburb. He said Chrysler's partnership can show lawmakers in Washington that the company has a real plan.

Family Shelter Gets New Mobile Shower

Ojai Valley Family Shelter administrator Ally Mills (left) and board member John Brooks take delivery of a former transit bus that's being converted into the shelter's new mobile shower.

Originally Published: Friday, 18 September 2020 12:56
"Can you imagine 120 degrees and not having a shower?" asked homeless shelter volunteer John Brooks, referring to Labor Day weekend's record-breaking heat wave in Southern California.
Brooks serves on the board of Ojai Valley Family Shelter, which recently took delivery of a bus that's being converted into the shelter's new mobile shower.
A shower is something most people take for granted, but for the homeless, it's a means to a healthier lifestyle that's not always available. "These people, who are our brothers and sisters, don't have that," Brooks said.
The bus will replace the nonprofit's current mobile shower, an aging, converted RV dating back to 1985. "It's on its last legs," Brooks said. "It's been a goal of the shelter for a long time to replace it."
To that end, Brooks, a retired radio news journalist whose career included a combined 34 years with Los Angeles stations KNX and KFWB, went shopping online and found an 8-year-old former transit bus that more than fit the bill. "It just exceeded our expectations," Brooks said.
The 25-foot-long bus, equipped with a handicapped lift, was delivered to the shelter from Seattle on Sept. 2. "This will be fully ADA-compliant for people with walkers or wheelchairs," Brooks said.
The shelter got a lucky break when it was approached by Vernon Alstot, co-founder and president of Care Podz, a Ventura company that builds showers inside shipping containers for the homeless community. "The most generous person in the universe," according to Brooks, Alstot has volunteered his time and expertise to design the interior of the bus.
A shelter for the homeless of the valley since 1993, OVFS hosts shelters during the winter season where people can stay, sleep and be fed. Shelter locations alternate between six area churches and Ojai Valley Grange.
When COVID-19 hit, the shelter put people up at the Grange Hall for three extra months. "The Grange has no showers, but our mobile RV was there," Brooks said.
This summer, the mobile shower has been set up at St. Andrew's Church and Ojai Presbyterian Church, on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
In addition, OVFS has pledged to share the bus with the city of Ojai in times of disasters such as wildfires, floods and earthquakes. "It'll serve the entire community as well as serving the homeless in the valley," Brooks said.
Funds to purchase the bus came from both private and corporate donations. "We just got the word out," Brooks said. Major sponsors included Venco, Sespe Creek Collective, the city of Ojai and Ojai Presbyterian Church.
From the very start, Brooks was a driving force in acquiring the bus, especially his postings on social media to help raise donations, according to Ally Mills, shelter administrator. "John was just amazing," she said.
So was shelter board president Martha Ditchfield. "She really stepped up to help this last season, and with the bus," Mills said.
With two shower stalls, two separate entrances and hot water on-demand, the new mobile unit should speed up the showering process significantly. "On any given shelter night, with eight to a dozen people signed up on the list, it would take all night," said Mills, who moonlights at OVFS while working full-time as circulation manager for the Ojai Valley News.
Conversion work on the bus is set to start Oct. 1, with completion by Dec. 1, when the shelter opens for the winter season.
Due to the pandemic, the shelter's major fundraiser, a golf tournament, won't be happening this year, so it's seeking donations to pay for the conversion work. It has also applied for a grant.
For more information on volunteering at the shelter or making donations, visit www.ovfs.org.
