Midlands Mod Shop - NFFC.
TBH i never noticed any difference in premiums from previous years and i have just renewed mine with Chris Knott - £260 fully comp for a 2.0T with all mods declared - 29 with 11 years NCB.
I was robbed in Sept 08, as I had 9+ yrs NCB then got rid or my car to buy a van 4 work, no problems there it was very cheap, kept van for 4 yrs, in Aug 08 sold van bought Signum 2.2 direct, no mods at that time, cost nearly £450 because I had no car insurance over the 4 yrs I would lose all NCB, only 2 companies would take them but very expensive
Insurance should be coming down if the price of a replacement car is taken into consideration, both S/H and new seem to be at an all time low.

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Florida 'Healing Revivals' Draw Critics
- Japan: Buddhism May Be Dying Out
- Indonesia: Religious Tensions Rise in West Papua
- Chinese Crackdown Extends into Thailand, Tibet
Florida 'Healing Revivals' Draw Critics
The "healing revivals" of the last three months in Lakeland, Fl., are drawing even charismatic criticism, the Christian Post reports. Todd Bentley says he has cured cancer, healed the deaf and even raised the dead via God's power, and Internet streaming sources have quickly increased his popularity online. More than 400,000 have visited his raucous revival tent, where the 32-year-old tattooed Canadian lays forceful hands on those who come forward for healing. Though he gives credit to God, Christian critics say he rarely preaches the Gospel or even opens a Bible and focuses on the miracles more than conversion. Bentley defended himself, saying, "Miracles and healings are evidence," Bentley said. "They are signs of the Kingdom, and if we don't have signs then all we have is a bunch of theology." But Assemblies of God Superintendent George O. Wood said, "Miraculous manifestations are never the test of a true revival — fidelity to God's Word is the test... Jesus Himself said there would be many who would do miracles in His name and even cast out demons, but he does not know them.
Japan: Buddhism May Be Dying Out
The subtle decline of Buddhism in Japan is now snowballing into a fast descent, the New York Times reports. The Japanese have adopted Buddhism almost solely for funeral liturgy and services, highlighting its inability to meet the spiritual needs of the living. "That's the image of funeral Buddhism: that it doesn't meet people's spiritual needs," said Ryoko Mori, the chief priest at the 700-year-old Zuikoji Temple here in northern Japan. "In Islam or Christianity, they hold sermons on spiritual matters. But in Japan nowadays, very few Buddhist priests do that." The problem stems partly from a lack of successors to family-run temples nationwide, while Buddhism's strongholds in rural Japan are quickly being depopulated. These are compounded with increasing materialism of a wealthy nation. "... I think this place is beyond hope," Giju Sakamoto, 74, said at his temple, which sits atop a promontory overlooking a seaside village.
Indonesia: Religious Tensions Rise in West Papua
Compass Direct News reports that uthorities in West Papua, Indonesia, must move fast to prevent tension between Christian and Muslim communities escalating into a Malukan-style conflict, according to a recent report by the International Crisis Group (ICG). The neighboring Maluku islands erupted into bitter sectarian warfare between 1999 and 2002, leaving thousands dead, injured or homeless. Several developments from the beginning of the decade have heightened tension in recent months, according to ICG. New, less tolerant strands of Islam and Christianity have gained influence since 2002, creating fissures within and between religious communities, the report claims. Also, faith issues have acquired a political dimension, since many Papuan Christians believe a Special Autonomy Law passed in 2001 was too limited, while Muslim migrants firmly support centralized rule from Jakarta and accuse Christians of separatism. Most importantly, an influx of Muslim migrants, initially sponsored by the government, has changed demographics in the region. Papuan Christians now fear they will become a minority.
Chinese Crackdown Extends into Thailand, Tibet
The pre-Olympic crackdown on Christians and political dissidents reaches beyond China's borders in Thailand and Tibet, according to Mission News Network. In Thailand, authorities have restricted one ministry's efforts to distribute Bibles to Chinese tourists in public places. Southern Cross Project aims to distribute one million Easy-to-Read Version Chinese Bibles per year to business people and Chinese Communist Party officials who are allowed to travel outside China, where Bibles are more difficult to obtain. In Tibet, peace is an illusion, as people have not forgotten the Chinese crackdown at a March riot, for which 42 have been convicted and more than a hundred await trial. Under this suppression, many are looking for hope. Words of Hope's Lee DeYoung says, "The broadcast that Words of Hope is involved in every night continues to broadcast hope and the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Tibetan people... we do know, from a number of testimonies, that people do listen quietly in private."

Depends in which season it rains. In winter if it rains I try to eat some fried snacks and sips tea and enjoy the moments. If it rains in summer days I take my motorcycle and my wife and we go for a long drive at least 10 km. If it is rainy season we go out in our car, with umbrella to walk in open.

text: So I accepted the 4.4.2 OTA update this morning and now I can't get my phone out of recovery mode. It's a Sprint LG G2 that I rooted using the ioroot method. For backup, I used Clockwork Recovery Mod and now when I try to reboot the system, I get the message "ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix? THIS CANNOT BE UNDONE." The options are No and Yes - Disable recovery flash. I've tried both of these and it just turns the phone off. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Mumbai, Oct 26: An amount of 25,000 US dollars or Rs 16,23,625 was received by a person to set up a travel office in Mumbai and investigations show that this was just a front to facilitate the travel for terror funders.
Terror funding into India has become a matter of primary concern and the Financial Action Task Force has indicated that it is groups such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba and Harkat-ul-Jihadi Islami which are the primary players.
There are newer methods that are being adopted by terror financers and the indication is that they are gradually doing away with illegal forms of money transfer.
In short the transfer of money for terror purposes is made to look as legitimate as possible, an officer of the Intelligence Bureau (Financial Wing) informed OneIndia.
Legitimate fund transfers
There are new methods that have been found for transferring money meant for subversive purposes. OneIndia had reported (Crowd-funding advertisements could be the next terror fund raiser) that crowd-funding advertisements could be the next source of terror funding.
However an investigation that was conducted into the transfer of money to Mumbai to set up a travel office suggested that bitcoins and paypal were methods used to move the funds. This particular operation involved nine persons- six Indians, one Pakistani and one US and Canadia citizen.
All were members of the Lashkar and they had over the past three years regularly sent money in Euros and US dollars. Although investigators are ascertaining how money in total had been sent in, there was one particular transaction which was worth 25,000 US dollars.
The money investigators say was being used for various purposes. There were funds being transferred for plotting strikes, setting up offices and fronts and also recruitments.
The strange part of these transactions was that all were legitimate in nature unlike what one would find a few years back where hawala was the key method for fund transfer.
New methods of fund transfer
Earlier one would see that terror groups heavily depended on hawala for money transfer. Money would be collected through private donations by setting up charity groups and then routed in to India through a hawala channel.
However all that is slowly changing and terror groups realizing that these methods have become easily traceable for the Intelligence Bureau have now adopted new strategy.
Crowd-funding advertisements are one form of collecting money. They set up an advertisement claiming that money is being collected for refugees and one the funds come in, the same is routed into a terror channel.
Off late, the use of PayPal to transfer money has become hugely popular with terror groups. In addition to this, they are also using bitcoins and CashU to transfer money, the Intelligence Bureau has also learnt.
The modus operandi becomes clear and when it comes to such legitimate forms of money transfer, the radar of the IB is normally low. All eyes are focused on illegal forms of money transfer such as hawala and terror groups are well aware of this.
The IB says that their job has only become more complex now. Terror groups will juggle between the legitimate and illegitimate forms of money transfer to confuse the Intelligence agencies.

Gordon, Johnathan : Preacher Under Construction
- Artist: Jonathan Gordon
- Genre: Gospel
- Release Date: 2/12/2008
About Johnathan Gordon The 'Preacher' At an early age he knew something was different about him. He heard God talking to him. He would put on mini church meetings in the kitchen with the musical accompaniment of pots and pans. He would preach about Peter and the Boat and his more renowned sermons for the hungry entitled Peanut butter and Jelly. This 'Preacher' whose given name is Johnathan which coincidentally means 'Gift of God' was anointed and called at an early age. It has been spoken to him time and time over that he would preach at an early age. And preach is an understatement for this powerhouse of the Kingdom. He is an exceptional teacher, praise leader, choir director, minister,youth leader and the list goes on. Atop all of this he is an anointed and gifted preacher with a fresh, approach to the words given to him by God. And now to his list of credentials he has added songwriter and performer. He is a true worshiper of the Lord and his music is heartfelt and a reflection of what he was feeling or going through at the time. His songs are real uncovered emotions of a man after God's heart. His sound is unpredictable because of who he is yet there is a familiarity about it. And that is worship. This young man in his 24 years has grown tremendously so it is almost mind boggling. He seems to go through each and every trial that is placed in his life with a grace and strength that is supernatural. Yet he is still a man and still has to deal with being a human. Which is the inspiration behind the title of his first solo album PREACHER UNDER CONSTRUCTION PROJECT.

Everything you wanted to know about the Chemistry Department but were afraid to ask!
General Inquiries?
Check with either the general office, (Room C-4000, tel. 864-8746) or the Head's office, (Room C-4000B, tel. 864-8772)
Faculty Advisors for Chem Majors and Honours Students
If you plan to major in chemistry, consult a Chemistry faculty advisor on all academic matters. Individual programs must be drawn up in consultation with the advisor, who will be assigned when you declare a chemistry major. Make an appointment to see your faculty advisor or Dr. Chris Flinn, Deputy Head, Undergraduate Studies (Room C-4014, tel. 864-7911).
Having course registration problems?
See Dr. Chris Flinn, Deputy Head, Undergraduate Studies (Room C-4014, tel. 864-7911).
NEVER register for courses that have a timetable clash. You cannot be in two places at the same time! If you get into this situation, it may not be easily remedied.
Laboratory Classes - Repeating.
If you have to repeat a course that includes a laboratory you are not required to repeat the laboratory portion of the course if you completed it within the most recent six semesters and received a laboratory mark of 65% or better. If you choose not to repeat the laboratory you must apply to Ms. Mary Flinn, C-4000 before the first laboratory period. This can be most easily done online using our lab waiver application form.
Note: Processing your lab waiver will depend on the number of first time students and the classroom capacity. Students granted a waiver must register for the lecture-only section of the course. Directions for how to do this will be sent by email to each student granted a lab waiver.
Limited Enrolment Courses
Some high demand courses are designated as Limited Enrolment Courses. Students who fail to attend lectures/lab in the first week of term may be deregistered from the course. Such courses are indicated in the Timetable Slot Book.
Completed Advanced Placement Chemistry or the International Baccalaureate in High School?
You may be entitled to credit for one or more first year courses. Follow the appropriate link to see the transfer information from the advising centre:
You should consult the Registrar's Office (Ms. Rhonda Nash, Evaluations Officer,(firstname.lastname@example.com), Telephone: 709-864-4424, Room A2000) to ensure that proper credit for AP Chemistry has been awarded. Contact the Chemistry Department if you have these credits and wish to register for further chemistry courses.
Having trouble with lecture material or labs? Don't wait until it's too late!
The Chemistry Resource Room (C2010) and First-Year Help Center (C2022) are on the second level of the Chemistry/Physics Building. The staff provide one-on-one assistance with labs as well as theory and problems related to your chemistry course. Study desks are provided; however, due to space limitations, we must restrict their use to the study of Chemistry. DROP BY AND LOOK AROUND..
Make an appointment with your professor or lab instructor to discuss your problem.
Study and practice problems every day.
ATTENDANCE: Policy on missed tests/assignments/quizzes/and other methods of evaluation.Students who miss a term test, a lab, a quiz or the deadline for an assignment must notify their course/lab/tutorial instructor via email (using the MUN email system (not D2L)) that they were ill or give another acceptable reason within one week of the original date of the term test, lab, quiz or assignment deadline date.
Students who are prevented from writing a final examination by acceptable cause may apply for a deferred examination. Students must apply for a deferred examination using the appropriate online form within one week of the original date of their examination. They must also provide sufficient documentation to the chemistry department in order to qualify for a deferred examination.
A student who is scheduled to write three final examinations which BEGIN and END within a twenty-four-hour period may request to write a deferred examination. Please note only the SECOND examination in the twenty-four-hour period may be deferred. The application to defer this examination should be made in writing to the Deputy Head, Undergraduate Studies. It should be submitted as soon as possible after the release of the final examination schedule.
Laboratory Attendance - Compulsory means compulsory! REALLY!
Chemistry 1050 and 1051 - Missing more than TWO laboratory sessions will result in an automatic failing grade (maximum of 49%) in the course, regardless of the marks achieved in non−laboratory components of the course.
Chemistry 1010 and 1011 - Missing more than ONE laboratory sessions will result in an automatic failing grade (maximum of 49%) in the course, regardless of the marks achieved in non−laboratory components of the course.
*Students who play varsity sports MUST get a signed letter from their coach at least a week in advance of any sports-related absences. This allows the possibility of making up a missed lab with another lab session providing space is available in the lab..
Students with a documented reason for missing a lab may have the opportunity of making up the missed lab with another lab session providing space is available in the lab.
Supplementary Final Exams
The Chemistry Department DOES NOT offer supplementary final exams for any of its courses.
Planning to ask for a re-read of an examination paper?
Re-read requests must be submitted to the Registrar's Office within four weeks of the final release of grades for the course. The fee is not returned unless the grade is raised....and yes, grades are sometimes lowered! Students are therefore urged to see their paper with their instructor before applying for a re-read of their paper.

Review by:
on Jan. 27, 2011 :
When Henry gets a disturbing video from a friend in the Peace Corps, he formulates a plan to save a dozen or so of his closest friends from an alien invasion. Gathering the friends turns out to be the first of his problems. After convincing them of the danger, he must plan for how to keep them alive and safe until this danger blows over. Something goes wrong in his plan, and he and two friends are left out in the world to fend against the alien plant life and find a way to escape the "Cornucopia Blue." Does Henry have what it takes to survive? Is it even worth the effort?
Written by Noah K. Mullette-Gillman, this story jumps between the story's present time (2014) and the beginning of the alien plant invasion (2012). I found this a really clever and effective way to tell this tale. The story starts out with Noah and his two surviving friends making their way through the altered landscape, and quickly switches to show the start of the invasion. With two such intriguing introductions to the two time periods, I was immediately engaged. Telling the two parts of the tale concurrently was a great technique to maintain attention, and, with clearly marked chapters and predicatable switches, it's easy to follow both story lines until they connect at the very end. Original and descriptive, it was an appealing tale. Where this story really shines is in the originality of the concept and the imagination involved in creating this alien life form. I could easily picture "Cornucopia Blue," as the plant invasion was christened, and I could almost feel the power of its allure.
Where this story really lacks is in the editing and the writing style. This story could definitely use another editing pass. There were enough errors to be annoying, with typos and some sentences that didn't make sense because of missing words. The writing style itself was very simple. It was written as though geared towards (or written by) a pretty young audience, with trite dialogue and a lack of true depth. I had to do a double check, thinking perhaps this was marketed for a youthful reader. It does make for a fast read, but I felt the writing style was much too simplistic and somewhat immature for a tale that had the potential to be truly intense and wonderful. There were also several points in the story where there was a sudden proliferation of exclamation points (in the narrative as well as the dialogue!), which increased the feel of a juvenile writing style.
The ending tied the two parts of the story together, yet left some ambiguity for the reader to decide what truly happened to Henry and his friends. All in all, not a bad ending. It answers the question of how they got from one half of the story to the other, and it leaves the reader to wonder "what happens next?" Although the ending was ok, I wish there had been a little more. There was a thread throughout the story that started with something Henry's stepdad had said to him: "Are you in a cave, or in the Universe?" Henry thinks of this question at several points throughout the story, but it's conspicuously missing at the end of the book. I think this could really have tied the story together in a way that added depth and left the reader with a greater sense of satisfaction, and made the ambiguous ending stronger.
Overall, a clever and unique tale that I felt was held back by the writing style. The originality and interest level of the storyline itself bumps it up for me to:

Virtual Colonoscopy
December 3, 2003
A new study finds that virtual colonoscopy, a method that uses a CT scanner for colon cancer screening, can be just as effective as traditional colonoscopy in finding polyps, the mushroom-like growths from which most bowel cancers arise.
The study of 1,233 people ages 50 to 79 who had both a virtual colonoscopy and a traditional one found that each method uncovered more than 90 percent of polyps at least 8 millimeters in diameter and about 88 percent of those at least 6 millimeters across. However, unlike a colonoscopy,
- The 15-minute virtual screening test does not require sedation, and 70 percent of patients said it was more convenient.
- CT scans may cost less than colonoscopies -- in the range of $500 to over $2,000 for a CT scan, compared to $2,000 for a colonoscopy.
- However, most health insurers do not pay for the CT scan.
- Sigmoidoscopy, which costs only a few hundred dollars and does not require sedation, examines only the lower half of the colon, where most cancers arise, and must be repeated every five years.
- Barium enemas, which cost several hundred dollars and must be repeated every five years, are not as effective as colonoscopies and sigmoidoscopies in finding polyps.
- And fecal occult blood test, which costs about $20; but should be repeated every year or two.
Experts say almost all small polyps are not cancerous and will shrink on their own; but when polyps are found during a colonoscopy, doctors will remove them regardless of size. Depending on the size of polyp considered large enough to warrant surgery, doctors would recommend surgery on between three percent and 30 percent of those in whom polyps are found using the CT scanner, and that requires use of a colonoscopy.

Bardsley, C.W, A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames: With Special American Instances. Wiltshire: Heraldry Today, 1901. Print. (ISBN 0-900455-44-6)
Allgar Early Origins
Norfolk, where William Alker was listed in the Pipe Rolls of 1212. In this instance, the name is probably derived from the Old English "ealdgar," making it likely that this branch of the family is of Anglo-Saxon descent. William de Altekar was recorded in the "Calendar of Letter Books" of London in 1341; the preposition "de," as well as the spelling of the name, indicates that this branch of the family hailed from Altcar in Lancashire. [2]CITATION[CLOSE]
Reaney, P.H and R.M. Wilson, A Dictionary of English Surnames. London: Routledge, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-415-05737-X) It is likely that the family estate of this branch was still located in Altcar (Great Altcar), Lancashire at this time. "This place seems to be the Acrer of the Domesday Survey, at which period it was held by Uctred; it was afterwards held by the abbots of Merivale, and continued with them till the Dissolution. The parish takes its name from the river Alt, and the word car, meaning low land. " [3]CITATION[CLOSE]
Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England. Institute of Historical Research, 1848, Print. So as far as the origin of the place name is concerned there is some doubt, but there is no doubt that many of the family originated in West Lancashire.
Allgar Spelling Variations
Allgar Spelling Variations
Before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago, spelling variations of names were a common occurrence. Elements of Latin, French and other languages became incorporated into English through the Middle Ages, and name spellings changed even among the literate. The variations of the surname Allgar include Alker, Alkar, Altcar, Alkire, Alger, Algar, Allgar, Allger, Allker and many more.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
A great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants: Andrew Alger and Thomas Allgar, who both settled in New England in 1632; Arthur Algar, who came to Virginia in 1731; James Alger, who arrived in Rhode Island in 1768.

Posted via NHS Choices
I cannot praise the delivery ward enough! I have birth here on Tuesday as my local hospital was full, and I'll admit I was Abit weiry as I'd never been to this hospital before. But as soon as I arrived, I got taken to my room and instantly felt welcomed and very at ease. The care I received from all members of staff, doctors, midwives and student midwives was brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble, everything was explained to me thoroughly as I had to have Artificial rupture of membranes. There was always someone with me, and talking me through every step. I just want to say a huge Thankyou for making my scary experience, a whole lot easier! Our little man is doing just great ! Thanks to the staff!

To shoot Voyage of Time, Terrence Malick's documentary about the birth of the universe, cinematographer Paul Atkins had to go some places he'd never been to before - like the edge of a lava-spewing volcano in Hawaii.
"You had to helicopter into the erupted area," he says. "You're walking on a crusty surface, but right beneath that is 2,000-degree molten lava. If you stand in one location too long, it can literally melt the soles of your boots."
A veteran wildlife DP who has worked on projects for National Geographic, the BBC and Imax, Atkins met Malick in the late '90s at the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival. They kept in touch and would talk about Voyage as Malick researched the idea. They also worked together on Malick's The Tree of Life, photographed by three-time Oscar-winning cinematographer Emmanuel "Chivo" Lubezki, with Atkins as second unit DP.

Two versions of the film have been made. Voyage of Time: The Imax Experience is a 45-minute movie narrated by Brad Pitt, while the 90-minute Voyage of Time: Life's Journey was created for ordinary screens with narration by Cate Blanchett. To bring these visual journeys to life - from the Big Bang to the dinosaur age to our present world - Atkins began by reviewing photos, paintings and other images that Malick had assembled.
"He was striving to get something different," the cinematographer explains. "It was important to Terry that this movie not appear like a TV or BBC wildlife documentary."
Courtesy of Obscured Pictures/Greg Eliason
Atkins also drew inspiration from what he learned on The Tree of Life from Malick and Lubezki (with whom Atkins worked more recently as second unit DP on The Revenant). "They have a method they refer to as 'the dogma' that involves shooting in the backlight, shooting in deep focus with wide-angle lenses, so you get the feeling you are actually there. On the Imax screen, you can scan around the image and decide what to look at. That's what we wanted."
Location work on Voyage involved stops in Iceland, Chile, Palau, Monterey Bay and around the U.S., including the California Redwoods. Back at the volcano, getting the wide-angle shot in deep focus "meant getting the lens as close as possible," says Atkins. "We held the shot until the last second and then ran across the lava field to a cooler area to reload. Then we realized the soles of our boots had peeled back and our socks were exposed. We duct-taped the soles back on so we could go out and shoot again."

|"Gravure/Continuum" (Fis Hayfield To New Mills version) (7:01)
|Side 2
|"Gravure/Continuum" (Regis Whip Hand mix) (6:08)
This 12" sees the welcome vinyl edition of remixes of Akkord's "Gravure/Continuum" from Fis and Regis which originally appeared on a CD issued through Fabric's Houndstooth label earlier this year. With the Mancunian duo possessing such a clinical take on rhythmic construction; it's always interesting to see how artists commissioned to remix Akkord choose to approach the task. Sometime Tri Angle artist Fis is on impeccable form twisting the track into paganistic string-laden ambience on his self-styled 'Hayfield To New Mills' version which brings to mind "Hashshashin Chant" era Demdike Stare. Downwards boss Regis goes for gravelly broken techno on his 'Whip Hand' mix though he channels similar levels of spectral foreboding to Fis in the underlying human groans set deep in the mix.

Woman sexually assaulted by 'fake taxi driver' after V Festival
A YOUNG woman was sexually assaulted after getting into what she thought was a taxi after V Festival.
GETTY/GETTY - stock
The 20-year-old was offered a lift by a man in a dark Mondeo as she was walking home on Saturday evening.
She had been at the festival in Chelmsford, Essex, when she accepted the lift from the stranger between 9.30pm and 10.30pm.
The woman got into the car with the man on Greenbury Way.
After driving a short way the man assaulted her.
She managed to get out of the car and ran away to raise the alarm.
Police say they are investigating the incident and providing specialist support for the woman.
"I would advise people to be vigilant when travelling alone "Det Sgt Danny Cooper
Det Sgt Danny Cooper said: "Enquiries are ongoing and specially trained officers are providing support to the victim.
"I would advise people to be vigilant when travelling alone and to ensure they only use taxis from companies they have contacted themselves or they have found at authorised taxi ranks.
"Any authorised taxi service will display a plate on the rear of the vehicle and a licence containing a photograph of the driver inside the vehicle.
"If either of these are not on display then play it safe and don't get in."
It comes just a couple of months after a taxi driver was convicted for raping a vulnerable drunk customer after picking her up from the Royal Ascot Festival.
Anyone with information should call police on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Remembering Jennifer Jones
Academy Award winning actress Jennifer Jones (The Song of Bernadette, left, in 1943) was born 95 years ago today on March 2, 1919, as Phylis Lee Isley.

Jennifer Jones married first husband Robert Walker in 1939 and they moved to Hollywood where she landed a couple of minor roles. When she failed a screen test for Paramount Pictures they went back to New York, and Robert Walker worked steadily in radio. Robert and Jennifer's two sons, Robert Walker Jr. (b. 1940) and Michael Walker (b. 1941), both became actors.
Jennifer auditioned for a role in a play for producer David O. Selznick's (Gone With the Wind) office. She didn't get the role but Selznick had overheard the audition and signed her to a seven-year contract in 1941. David O. Selznick controlled her career for the next seven years, selecting her roles carefully, overseeing her wardrobe, grooming, and her name change to Jennifer Jones.
The break-out movie role for Jennifer Jones was as Bernadette Soubirous in The Song of Bernadette (1943). Among her co-stars in The Song of Bernadette were Vincent Price and Lee J. Cobb.

The cast of Since You Went Away (1944) included Jennifer Jones, her husband Robert Walker, Claudette Colbert, Joseph Cotten, Shirley Temple, and Agnes Moorehead (Bewitched). In 1943 while filming Since You Went Away (1944), the married David Selznick (17 years her senior) and Jennifer Jones fell in love, and began an affair – which must have been awkward on the set, with her husband Robert Walker in attendance.
Jennifer Jones filed for divorce from Robert Walker the day after being presented with the Best Actress Oscar for her performance in The Song of Bernadette on her 25th birthday in 1944.
Jennifer Jones co-starred several more times with her Joseph Cotton, her co-star in 1944's Since You Went Away: Love Letters (1945); Duel in the Sun (1946) with Gregory Peck; and Portrait of Jennie (1948). Both Duel in the Sun and Portrait of Jennie were produced by her manager and now lover David O. Selznick.
David O. Selznick and Jennifer Jones were married in 1949 after his divorce was finalized. David Selznick and Jennifer Jones had one child together, daughter Mary Selznick (b. 1954) and remained a couple until his death in 1965.

Other movies, roles, and notable co-stars for Jennifer Jones during the 1940's and 1950's included:
- Emma Bovary in the biographical movie Madame Bovary (1949). Madame Bovary cast: James Mason, Van Heflin, Louis Jourdan, Harry Morgan (M*A*S*H), and Ellen Corby (The Waltons).
- Carrie Meeber in the romantic drama Carrie (1952). Carrie cast: Laurence Olivier, and Eddie Albert (Green Acres).
- Ruby Corey/Ruby Gentry in the romantic drama Ruby Gentry (1952). Ruby Gentry cast: Charlton Heston and Karl Malden (Streets of San Francisco).

Cobb (her co-star in 1943's The Song of Bernadette). The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit was also Gregory Peck's second movie with Jennifer Jones, after their co-starring turn in 1946's Duel in the Sun.
- Catherine Barkley in the WWI Hemingway drama A Farewell to Arms (1957). Her A Farewell to Arms love interest was Rock Hudson.
- Nicole Diver in the drama Tender is the Night (1962). Tender is the Night cast: Jason Robards, Joan Fontaine, Tom Ewell, Cesare Danova, Jill St. John, and Alan Napier (Batman).
Jennifer Jones was Dr. Han Suyin, a Eurasian doctor who falls in love with white American Mark Elliott (William Holden), in the inter-racial biographical romance, Love is a Many-Splendored Thing (1955). Jennifer Jones was nominated for another Academy Award for her performance in Love is Many-Splendored Thing. Below, Jennifer Jones and William Holden in the trailer for Love is a Many-Splendored Thing.
Upon hearing of close friend Charles Bickford's death in 1967, Jennifer Jones was found unconscious on Malibu Beach (the result of combining sleeping pills and wine), and was hospitalized. Jones married third husband Norton Simon, a millionaire art collector and philanthropist in 1971. Norton Simon's son Robert had committed suicide in 1969, and in 1976 Jennifer's daughter Mary Selznick jumped from a 20th floor window in L.A. These incidents combined with her personal experience of depression and mental illness led to Norton Simon and Jennifer Jones founding the Jennifer Jones Simon Foundation for Mental Health and Education in 1980.
Jennifer Jones came out of retirement in her 50 plus years to appear in the star-studded disaster movie The Towering Inferno (1974). Her co-stars in The Towering Inferno included Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway, Fred Astaire, Susan Blakely, Richard Chamberlain, Robert Vaughn, Susan Flannery, Gregory Sierra, and Dabney Coleman. The Towering Inferno was the last film for Jennifer Jones, and re-united her onscreen with William Holden – her co-star from 1955's Love is Many-Splendored Thing 20 years earlier. Below, the trailer for The Towering Inferno.
In her senior years, Jennifer Jones became became more reclusive. She took over leadership of the Norton Simon museum in Pasadena in 1989 at age 70 and remained as a director until 2003 (Norton died in 1993). Jones lived with her only surviving child, son Robert Walker Jr. and his family, in Malibu for the last six years of her life until her death from natural causes/old age, on December 17, 2009.

Some cars go down in history as classics because of their innovative design and for me there are some tennis racquets which are icons of the game. For my criteria, I have only chosen racquets that I have played with in the past and some of these are only very recently enough. I have based my choice on design, impact on the sport and their overall playability. Humans are fickle beings and what might have been in fashion six months ago may not be the case today. When I was growing up in Ireland and starting to play tennis there was only a choice of three manufacturers of racquets that you could buy and two of these no longer make them. They were Donnay, Snauwaert and Dunlop. Very occasionally would you come across a player wielding an exotic Wilson racquet.
Dunlop Maxply (Fort and McEnroe)
Debuted in 1931, this wooden racquet taught many generations how to play tennis and was still being used into the mid 1980's. Now that is longevity for a racquet. Made with a composition of woods the most notable users were Rod Laver and John McEnroe. They had to be kept in a frame to stop them from warping and particularly so in wet weather. Dunlop, a British company, have been making sporting equiupment since 1910 and are still a leading brand in the field today.
Donnay 3 set.
The Donnay 3 set was originally produced in wood but it was the later version manufactured in fibreglass that I first used. I loved this racquet for playability and design. It was the first racquet that I played with that wasn't made out of wood and the extra power and accuracy that I got was astonishing to me at the time. Donnay was a Belgian company who were the world's largest producers of racquets and so many a tennis champion hopeful began with this brand. Bjorn Borg himself played with the wooden version of the 3 set and he didn't do too bad with 5 Wimbledon wins and 6 French Opens. As far as I know they stopped making racquets in the late 1980's and now just make sporting attire.
Dunlop 200G
When John McEnroe moved over from the old Maxply McEnroe wooden racquet to the new 200G in 1983 when he was world number one he brought a lot of people with him. It was the first to be injection moulded and made out of a type of carbon called Grafil. Beautifully designed, though it was heavy and especially so for younger players when at a time junior racquets were pretty much non existent. Martina Navratilova used it for a while but the most notable player ever to grace it's hands was undoubtably Steffi Graff, winner of 23 grand slam soingles titles. This racquet is a piece of history and anyone who has ever played with one will recall many fond memories. Unfortunately Dunlop discontinued the Max line in favour of their new revelation brand.
Prince Pro
I was never a huge fan of Prince (the tennis manufacturer not the singer) and I have never actually bought one but I have occasion to play with one whenever the strings in my own racquet had broken. My mother owned a Prince pro, the large head sized one which seemed enormous compared to the racquets I had been playing with. I think it was 100 square inches and it was made of aluminium and it felt like a sledge hammer in my hands. Made popular by Pam Shriver in the late seventies it brought a lot more power to the game.
Wilson Six one:
I had two of these racquets but each with different specifications. One was the Wilson six one and the other was the six one team. The first had a 90 square inches head frame and was very rigid and the second I think had 100 square inches, was much more flexible and had a wider framed body. The Six one was most notably played by Roger Federer and came in a red and white design which was very pretty to look at. Wilson have since upgraded the six one and now it comes in a Basalt graphite composition and changed over to a black colour.
Babolat Aero Pro Drive:
The aero pro drive made famous by Rafael Nadal was a black, yellow and white racquet that caught the imagination of many a junior player. My wife bought me one about five years ago and I will still use it today from time to time because it's lightweight, strong and still very stylish. It offers great playability and is very durable. There is a wide range in the Babolat Aero Pro range and other more notable players included Andy Roddick and Agnieska Radwanska. Babolat and Wilson are now probably regarded as the best tennis brands on the market due to their commonality of use.
Above are 6 types of racquets that I regard as icons in racquet history and I know some people will disagree with me but they had the biggest influence in my playing career. There are a few other racquets that I would like to mention here that are icons in their own right even though I have not played with any. Here's a short list:
Wilson T2000:
I have only ever held one of these steel made racquets most notably used by Jimmy Connors. It was extremely innovative for it's time considering every other racquet made at that time was out of wood. To me it looked extremely ugly and heavy but Connors bought every one he could find when Wilson stopped making them.
Snauwaert Ergonom:
The Snauwaert ergonom was one of the most unusual racquets ever produced, featuring a rotated head that allegedly stayed in line with the path of the ball longer than a conventional racquet head. Needless to say, it didn't catch on and the company went out of business in 1994. Snauwaert's were used by Gerulaitis, Pernfors and Mecir.
Prince o3:
Another one of my mum's racquets, the Prince o3 has large grommet holes to help swing the racquet faster because of less wind resistance. Much easier to string too I would imagine. Again, the series comes in a wide range, colours and specifications. I have played with it once or twice and though it is very lightweight and produces a lot of power I just couldn't get used to it. An acquired taste, methinks.
We used to call them shock absorbers but I guess the correct technical term is vibration dampener. They are small rubber items fitted in between the base of the strings and they do exactly what they say on the tin which is dampen the amount of vibration of the strings after the racquet has contact with the tennis ball. It eliminates the "ping" sound you get from the ball coming off the racquet to become more of a thud. So, why is it that some players choose to use them and some don't?. Well, most racquets produced nowadays will have in built dampening properties so the need becomes less apparent. Some people use them out of habit, some to incorporate their own little bit of personal style or character and some to reduce the onset of tennis elbow. There is no real scientific proof to suggest that they do reduce the risk of tennis elbow but they definitely don't do it any harm. One thing is for certain, once you have used a vibration dampener, you will find it difficult to play without one.
These little tools come in all shapes, sizes and designs but the two most common are called button and worm. The button dampener is either usually round or square with grooves on the side to allow it to be placed inside the strings and the worm dampener is long and zig zagged through the strings with clips on the end to hold it in place on the strings. They cannot be placed anywhere inside the string pattern but must be put outside the pattern of the crossed strings so that basically means top left or right or bottom left or right. There is no limit to the amount of dampeners you can use on your racquet but nearly all find one sufficient to do the job.
Most tennis brands manufacture dampeners with their logo emblazoned across them which is another novel way of advertising. They range anywhere from about two euro up to five euro in cost and can all be applied easily enough to any racquet. I personally hate to play without one now that I've been using them for so long and I know many other players fell the exact same way. Perhaps that's more of a mental thing now. My best advice is to test them out and see if you can feel (or hear) the difference and then go on to make your choice afterwards.
Either at professional or recreational level, when you have played against an opponent many times you get to recognise patterns in their play and shots they are most likely to play in any given situation. We are after all creatures of habit and when we recognise something that works for us on the tennis court we have a tendency to re-play that shot many times. When we see this in our opponent we can start to anticipate their next course of action and position ourselves accordingly. We don't always get it right but it can make the difference in tight matches. When our opponents begin to recognise patterns in our play then we must learn to try and disguise our intentions and the most obvious ways we know we are successful in this endeavour is when we wrong foot our opponents or leave them flat footed on the court (stuck in the mud). So, how do we go about disguising our tennis shots? Here are some tips:
It may sound obvious but having a consistent toss during the service action regardless of the spin employed will not only disguise our intention but will keep our opponent guessing. I have a player at my local club who I play against regularly and whenever he is going for an excessive sliced serve it is very noticeable that his toss is exaggerated out to the right and that allows me to ready myself for the oncoming ball. A consistent toss should bring more consistency to your serve too but it may limit the amount of spin you can generate. On the overhead in general, varying your amount of wrist pronation will change the direction of your shot regardless of the stance you are using.
Return of serve:
It can be very hard to disguise your return of serve because you often get very little time and if your opponents serve is strong you may also have very little choice. Although not technically a disguise, the best way to hide your patterns on return of serve is to mix it up a bit. Go for the shot down the line eventhough you are aiming into the smaller part of the court and your recovery is a greater distance. It will break up the pattern of always returning back crosscourt and is a good ploy to use in doubles to test the servers partner to see if they are competent at the net.
In order to disguise a groundstroke it may be necessary to hit from a different stance. A lot of players will move from their usual open stance into a more neutral stance in order to hit down the line. By moving to this neutral stance you can convince your opponent that you are about to hit down the line but then hit crosscourt.
Another good trick is to use the classic "V" tactic and then hit back behind your opponent on the next shot in order to wrong foot hi/her. This strategy can be employed a number of times before your opponent becomes wise to it.
We should always try to disguise a dropshot. The most commonly used ploy is to backswing your racquet like you are going for a powerful drive at then at the last moment loosen your grip and bring the racquet forward slowly with an open face. Swing high to low to generate a little (or a lot) backspin to complete the execution. Federer is a master at reverse disguise in this instance. He will set himself up like he was about to hit a drop shot and then and the last moment he will slice the ball long after his opponent has committed himself to running forward looking for the short ball. I have also seen him look one way with his gaze and then go about hitting the ball in the opposite direction. This is a risky tactic as it involves the player taking their eye off the ball which could easily lead to a mishit. You need to be very confident that it's going to work or otherwise you could look like a little bit of a fool out there.
A great volleyer is capable of disguising their volleys at will. Again, hitting back behind your opponent is a good tactic to use. The disguised drop volley can be a very effective shot to play if done right and at the right time providing you have the touch and softness of hands. The only way to disguise your volley really is either with the amount of depth employed or the choice of angle used. You can vary your pace but most drive volleys are hit with power.
Rather than play against, this article picks the top five women I'd like to play mixed doubles with, otherwise it may be too reminiscent of the battle of the sexes between Bobby Riggs and Billy Jean King. Presently I would prefer to play singles but with the advent of time this choice may change. I have chosen the five on differing criteria and bot necessarily with whom I think we'd have the best choice of winning. Some are icons of the game and some slightly less known but all great tennis players, past or present. I have always chosen to play on the advantage side of the court for doubles, men's or mixed, but I would be willing to make a change for the left handed players if that's what they wanted. Here's my choice:
Probably the greatest female doubles player of all time as nobody came close to her achievements and records. A lefty with a solid serve and volley game but also no mean player from the baseline. Her experience and craftiness would carry pretty much any other doubles partner and I would have to really take a back seat when playing with her. She has won 10 mixed doubles grand slam titles, 31 women's doubles grand slam titles and 177 doubles titles in all. What an achievement!.
I probably wouldn't play that well with Daniela Hantuchova because I'd probably be too busy looking at her than at the tennis ball. In my opinion, by far the prettiest female tennis player on the WTA tour and very tall to boot. With both of us at net, our opponents would find it difficult to lob us. Nicknamed "the legs from Slovakia", Hantuchova has a career grand slam in mixed doubles having won all four starting with Wimbledon in 2001 and ending with the US Open in 2005. Her women's doubles record isn't too shabby either reaching the Australian Open final on two occasions. I had my chance to ask her to play with me when I met her at the US Open in 2014 but I'm afraid I bottled it. There's always the next time.
Okay, so she's way better at singles than doubles and that is clearly illustrated in her tournament results to date. I would pick Simona, Romanian, as I think we'd get along quite well. It would also please my wife, Lavinia, who comes from the same city as Halep in Romania; that being Constanta on the Black Sea coast. She has played mixed doubles in the past with Horia Tecau so she is no stranger to the game and all it's intricacies. She is an aggressive baseliner in style of play much more comfortable plonked in and around the back of the court. I guess I'd have to play net which suits me anyway. Her serve can be erratic and occasionally lets her down but she is no quitter and would never give up on any ball or point.
Another doubles specialist who has had a lot of success recently in women's doubles alongside Martina Hingis. She has won 3 mixed doubles grand slam titles with Wimbledon being to only one to evade her. Similarly in women's doubles not having crossed the line at Roland Garros. Like Hantuchova, a pretty girl, who has reached world number one in the WTA women's doubles rankings in April 2015 and she is still there. A strong all court player who isn't afraid of the net; she can play in any position. She loves to hit the ball as hard as she can. She comes from India and turned professional in 2003. No stranger to a little controversy in her playing career as she is strong willed; I think we'd get along just fine.
For my last choice I again have picked someone who I think I'd get along quite well with. Caroline Wozniaki always has a smile when out on court and I imagine would be fun to play alongside. Not famed for her doubles results she is clearly first and foremost a singles player and former world number one, surprisingly enough never having won a grand slam title of any description. She really is destined to be always the bridesmaid and never quite the bride. Another player not hard on the eye, she was once engaged to previous golf world number one, Rory McIlroy. Great speed around the court and fabulous consistency but lacks a weapon that may have seen her win a grand slam in the past. No matter the result, I'm sure we'd have some fun out on the court.
Out of all the tennis players that have graced the courts, it is hard for me to pick just 5 who I would love to play against but I'll give it a go. I have not confined my choice to only current players though four out of five of them are still playing today on the professional tour and I think the other is still playing on the senior tour. All these players have reached the pinnacle of the sport and one is widely considered to be the G.O.A.T (greatest of all time). Two out of five are left handers which throws a little variety into the mix. Between them they hold a vast array of records too many to mention here and now. I would like to think I could achieve a number of games won over the course of five matches but perhaps it might be nice if some of them were having an off day. Without further ado, here are my top 5.
The first of the left handers and considered by many to be the game's toughest opponent and certainly the player with the most wicked topspin. Rafa comes from Majorca, part of the Ballearic Islands off the coast of Spain and is a former world number one and regarded as the king of clay. Just facing the kick he gets from his topspin forehand would be an experience alone. Not the greatest server in the world but has improved this shot throughout his career. Of course Uncle Tony would be in the stands cheering him on though I doubt he'd need much encouragement. His rather odd obsessive courtside gestures wouldn't distract me from realising that I'm playing against one of the greatest the sport has ever thrown up.
Next would be Mr. GOAT. Holder of seventeen grand slam singles titles and all around nice guy. I don't know if I could play that well against him as I would be so totally star-struck. His mere presence in my company might turn my legs to jelly but there's no shame in losing to the greatest of all time. He's a true all court player with his volleys being massively improved since working with Stefan Edberg. Mirka and the kids would probably be in the crowd and nobody likes to lose in front of their children so I might take it easy on him (who am I kidding). Federer doesn't really have a weakness so there isn't any shot that I could play to exploit his shortcomings. Hopefully his first serve just isn't firing and I might get lucky with a few second serve returns. We can all live and hope.
Probably my favourite player of all time and the second lefty to be faced. I think I'd like to play him now rather than when he was number one in the world as he would have lost a few yards around the court. He's another character of which I'd be in awe of considering his contribution to the sport. I'm not so sure of how I'd deal with his on court tantrums were he to have one but I'd probably smile and think back to the early 1980's when he was reigning supreme. Of all the players, he's the one who I'd most like to go for a meal or a drink afterwards and dissect the previous match. A great player in his time and now a fantastic commentator. He's probably the player I would do the best against considering his age and style of play. Very few players nowadays are serve and volleyers as most choose to stay back as aggressive baseliners due to the advancements in racquet composition and design.
Well, it's about time I encountered the current world number one and my favourite player on the tour right now. Recently reached the top of tennis, he is operating on all cylinders at the moment and definitely the man with momentum. Another all court player though his volley may still be slightly questionable. A Scotsman with the wind in his sails being rather eloquently blown by the great Mr. Lendl. No doubt his mother, Judy, would be plonked firmly on his side of the players box watching intently on the unfolding of the match. She needn't worry much with the form he's been in for the last six months. His return of serve is the best since Agassi and his double handed backhand is a pleasure to behold. It's great to see someone from so close to home being on top of the world.
I had to go for an up and coming star of the future as my last choice in my top 5. He is a young Russian player,19, who reached world number 1 in the ITF junior world rankings and has won 1 ATP singles title since turning professional in 2013. I watched a match of his just yesterday in which he beat Federer in 3 tie-break sets in the Hopman cup in Perth, Western Australia. As far as I know, it was his second time beating him. He hits the ball so hard it's a wonder the felt doesn't fly off from the rubber. I fantastic athlete with an all court game, he is definitely one to look out for in the near future and I'm sure he's going to go on and win multiple grand slam singles titles. His father was a pro before him and so the apple didn't fall far from the tree.

UK: EU eFashion Capital?
More countries turning to the UK to meet online retail needs
Paris is unofficially known as the fashion capital of the world. In which case, it may be surprising to learn that the French are increasingly looking to UK retailers to satisfy their online shopping fix.
What's more, the well regarded IMRG MetaPack UK Delivery Index reported not only a general increase in online deliveries but a fast growing trend of the UK's online shoppers being international. The Index forecasts that the number of overseas deliveries dispatched from the UK could double within three years. If these current trends we're seeing continue, the anticipated 161 million orders posted cross-border this year may rise to 384 million in 2017.
But what are the details of this trend?
Unique data from MetaPack shows that shoppers from around the world, including Germany, the US, Australia and Russia, are all jumping on the UK online retail bandwagon. French women in particular are snapping up UK fashion, with data showing that one of the top purchases in France from UK online retailers is womenswear. In the last 12 months, over 300,000 womenswear items shipped to France from the UK – is this evidence of the UK stealing France's fashion crown?
In contrast, some country stereotypes do seem to be true. We all recognise the image of the sporty Australian surfer-type and data supports this, showing that one of the top shipments to Australia from the UK is sporting goods. Other standout findings include US shoppers' penchant for gold and silver rings and in Russia, kidswear dominates purchases from UK online retailers.
So what does this mean for overseas online retailers? What is it that they're not doing quite right to meet their consumers' needs?
Angela O'Connell, Marketing and Strategy Director, MetaPack comments: "It's great to see that UK ecommerce is booming. In fact, our unique data is showing that online retail is continuing to grow, which bodes well for the health of the national economy overall. In the UK we've also seen an uplift in the quality of service experienced by consumers, with the best 'on time' delivery or attempted delivery performance of the year so far. This could be an indicator that other countries, like France and Germany, need to work on improving their quality of service in order to entice lost customers to return."
