A destroyed campervan. Every owner's nightmare. This week, Motorhome Matt and Keith delve into the safety of lithium batteries in motorhomes, sharing a firsthand account from a listener whose motorhome tragically caught fire due to a lithium battery fault. Matt discusses the crucial aspects of lithium battery installations, the dangers and best practices to avoid disaster. Shifting gears, in the news we unpack the recent 20 mph speed limits in Wales providing insights into the potential impacts of lowered speed limits in certain areas and discussing how it might affect motorhome travel. In the Q&A, Matt tackles your burning questions, ranging from solar panel charging concerns for Fiat Ducato start-stop systems to toilet bowl size adjustments and the legality of towing cars with A-frames in the Republic of Ireland. Read KS Energy's full statement: "Dear Matt, We appreciate the opportunity to address the recent recall of a small batch of batteries manufactured by our company. Our top priority has always been the safety and satisfaction of our customers. Once we became aware of the fault we immediately reported it to the OPSS (Office of Product Safety and Standards) and action was taken to identify and locate the affected batteries, and we are pleased to confirm that all recalled units have been successfully collected. Working closely with our customers, we have ensured that replacements or suitable alternatives were provided promptly, minimizing any inconvenience. Our insurers have underwritten losses on Simon Fox's motorhome and his premium should not be affected. It's important to note that all batteries currently in circulation are not affected by the recall, and customers can continue to use them with confidence. Our revised product, thoroughly tested and free from the potential fault found in the seat base version, is now available. We remain committed to supplying high-quality products to motorhome owners and the leisure community. Our dedication to safety and value for money is unwavering, and we believe in providing a premium product for our customers' investments. Thank you for allowing us to address this matter, and we assure our customers of our ongoing commitment to their satisfaction and safety. Sincerely, Stuart Allen and Richard Gleeson Directors, KS Energy"

Tim Weller, founder of business publisher Incisive Media, now celebrating its 25th anniversary, chats to Simon Fox, until recently CEO of Reach Plc (formerly Trinity Mirror), about the blood, sweat and tears of M&A and business growth. The conversation takes in Simon’s strategy for merging Express Newspapers with Trinity Mirror and negotiating with fearsome Richard Desmond; the rollercoaster ride of Incisive’s journey through market listing and private ownership; the perils of asking Princess Anne to run your tombola and the risks of performing magic live in front of an audience of advertisers. The importance of editors in maintaining credibility, stability and helping drive cultural change is also discussed, with hat tips to senior newspaper editors like Lloyd Embley, now Group Editor-in-Chief at Reach.

“Sing!...with the local church” This talk is part four of our summer series 'Sing' from Sunday 12th August 2018.

Trinity Mirror CEO Simon Fox on taking over the Express, Star and OK magazine. Times deputy editor Emma Tucker on how it put together its Oxfam abuse scoop and how the newspaper's business model accommodates investigative journalism. Sports lawyer Simon Leaf from Mishcon de Reya on Sky and BT Sport bidding billions of pounds for the right to show Premier League games. The price is down on the last round, but will Facebook, Amazon or Netflix swoop for one of the two remaining packages of matches? Executive Producer Simon Ford on how Channel 4's 24 Hours in Police Custody secured access to some of policing's most sensitive areas. Presenter: Amol Rajan Producer: Paul Waters.

ASD and Sue talk to Simon Fox, the Chief Executive of Trinity Mirror, about his position as head of a media property that creates culture, his professional path and his membership of the magic circle. You can follow Sue on @SueU and ASD @ASDTheBrand

Mark Steadman, Jon Hickman and Jon Bounds continue their mission to discuss everything in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy canon , in alphabetical order. Fire Mountains of Frazfraga We don't know much about the Fire Mountains of Frazfraga, except that it's not a hospitable location for a Silastic Armorfiend of Striterax. The panel discusses the most inhospitable places they've been to. Five-D 5D TV is, we can only assume, two better than Tri-D, which we'll no doubt cover when we get to the Ts. For now though, Jon Hickman is in charge of 5DTV sales. Flaninian Pobble Bead A Flaninian Pobble Bead is a form of galactic currency. It is only exchangeable with itself, and therefore isn't really counted as money by the Guide. As Brits we have a peculiar problem accepting certain forms of currency north of the border, despite it being legal tender. Here, Bounder shares his budget for the just-about-managing species. Flare-riding Flare-riding is one of the most exotic and exhilarating sports in existence, and those who can dare and afford it are amongst the most lionized men in the Galaxy. It is also of course stupefyingly dangerous - those who don't die riding invariably die of sexual exhaustion at one of the Daedalus Club's Apres-Flare parties. The panel discusses their most hair-raising moments. Flargathon Flargathon is a planet with gas swamps so stinky that the Gaseans who make this world their home, hired the Magratheans to build them a better world. Here, the Jons discuss the little bits they'd like to change about their respective locales. Flex-o-Panel The Flex-o-Panel is a wrist panel that can show Sub-Etha TV, and probably do other stuff. Here, Jon H tries to convince Steadman he's wrong to want one of these. Get in touch Follow @ iamsteadman, @ bounder and @ jonhickman on Twitter.

11. Alternatives into mainstream (Simon Fox - Senior Investment Specialist) by Aberdeen Standard Investments

What Can I Say? A Guide to Visiting Friends and Family Who Are Ill with Simon Fox "What Can I Say?" is a clear, concise guide on how to communicate with friends and family who are ill. Illustrated with 16 photographs, this easy-to-read, 94-page book is both practical and inspiring. "What Can I Say?" shows what works and what doesn't work, to ease the pain, lift the spirit, and help people feel supported. It gives keys to approaching emotional situations with confidence, and avoiding the pitfalls of hospital visits. What Can I Say? is a thoughtful gift for any family that faces the challenge of a serious illness. Simon Fox, Executive Director of the Adventures in Caring Foundation (AiC), is pioneering the education of the heart. For 30 years AiC has taught the art and practice of compassion—as a skill that restores well-being and promotes healing. Their work is now recognized globally. Adventures in Caring is based in Santa Barbara and despite its small size it is having a big impact. Founded by Simon's wife, Karen Fox, in 1984, the nonprofit is most famous for its Raggedy Ann and Andy volunteers who visit local nursing homes and hospitals to lift the spirits of patients who are lonely. What is less well known is who is under those wigs, what they discovered, and how far their influence has spread. More than one thousand hospitals, one thousand hospices, two thousand churches, and several hundred nursing schools have used AiC programs. Santa Barbara City College School of Nursing has integrated the entire AiC Cultivating Compassion series into its new Memory Caregiver program that teaches nursing assistants how to build better relationships with patients who have dementia.

Beyond Speech: Limitless Communication with Lauren Polly  Radio Show  Many people still think that compassion cannot be taught—considering it a personality trait that’s either there or not. Others think of compassion as a philosophy or a feeling. Simon Fox and his programs, Adventures in Caring, has taken this a step further; compassion is a verb—the practical skill of getting your caring across to a person who is sick or injured so that they no longer feel alone. He says this is the secret of all great nurses, physicians, and health care practitioners—they know the language of healing that lifts the spirits, dispels loneliness, and inspires the will to heal. Join Beyond Speech: Limitless Communication with host Lauren Polly and Guest Simone Fox as they share discoveries on teaching yourself the art and practice of compassion.  How could being more compassionate assist your life, relationships and health? About our guest:  Simon Fox is Executive Director of the Adventures in Caring Foundation and lead author of Oxygen for Caregivers: Guarding Against Burnout, Sustaining Compassion, an interdisciplinary team-learning program for health care and emergency service professionals.  Simon@AdventuresInCaring.org www.adventuresincaring.org What if communication was FUN and EASEFUL for you? Lauren Polly has been working with folks with “communication disorders” since 2004 as a speech-language pathologist and it never ceases to amaze her how much people judge and beat themselves up for supposed mishaps in communication. “I never meant to say that.” “It came out wrong.” “I just don’t sound like myself.” Are some of the things she hears every day. What follows are stories of how the communication breakdown led to undesirable results – loss of friendship, loss of a business deal, an argument with a loved one, or just the sense that you didn’t deliver what was possible. What if there was a different possibility?  http://laurenpolly.com/

Trinity Mirror has taken full control of media network Local World, which has over 100 regional titles across England and Wales. Dubbed a 'good day for local media', by Chief Executive Simon Fox, the £187 million deal will create the UK's largest regional media group. In his first appearance on The Media Show, Steve Hewlett talks to Chief Executive Simon Fox about the purchase, what it means for a challenged local press, and whether it raises any issues around media plurality. Britain's biggest-selling newspaper the Sun is to take down its online paywall, after failing to win enough readers. Rupert Murdoch's tabloid introduced the subscription model in 2013, when then editor David Dinsmore said that asking readers to pay for content was, "the only way to protect the future of the newspaper industry". Now in his position as newly promoted Chief Operating Officer of News UK, Steve Hewlett asks David what he hopes a free website will do to stem the decline in print circulation. The Leader of the House of Commons Chris Grayling has said that the Freedom of Information Act is being misused as a research tool to generate stories for the media. At the same time, the Government has set up an independent cross party Commission to review how FOI is working. There are concerns this will lead to new restrictions on the release of information, a strengthening of the ministerial veto and the adding of new fees. Steve hears from Heather Brooke, freedom of information campaigner and Professor of Journalism at City University, and Dominic Ponsford, Editor of the Press Gazette which has launched a 'Hands Off FOI' campaign.

'Freed from Islam' Part 1, with Mostafa Nowroozi Rezvani, Iran  ------------------------ Mostafa was born into a devout Muslim family in north eastern Iran.  He came to the UK to study as a young man and led many friends and girlfriends into Islam.  He hated Jews, Christians – and Muslims, also!  But he still had a fear of death and of going to hell.   As his latest girlfriend rejected his Muslim religion and became involved in a Spirit-filled church, he witnessed miracles in her life that caused him to reach out to Jesus – and then Jesus himself appeared to him. (Mostafa died in April 2017) Website: Contact via Kingdom Come Trust ------------------------ Includes NEWS from 'Bread NEWS International' and music from: Simon Fox, (British Columbia, Canada) – 'Mapping the Paddocks', (A Winter's Tale); Janet Bates, (Oregon, USA) – 'He was Born', (The Little Spinner); Raggle Taggle, (California, USA) – 'Skulies', (Dublin Fusion); Rebekah Faith, (Florida, USA) – 'No More Chains', (Not Alone)                  Produced by Precious Oil Productions Ltd, for Kingdom Come Trust.    

Disillusioned with not seeing biblical results, Darrel Stott was about to resign after 27 years in ministry in Seattle, WA.  He was no longer enjoying his ministry and, before resigning to go into sales, accepted an offer from his dad to visit Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship as a last resort.    What happened to him there transformed his ministry and that of his fellow pastors and, eventually, led him into ministry in 20 different countries, including in the world's largest Muslim country, Indonesia - which, despite difficulties, is experiencing revival in recent years.   (Darrel Stott died in July 2016)     Darrel Stott website:  http://www.darrelstott.com     -----------------------   Includes NEWS from 'Bread NEWS International' and music from: Ross Moore, (Tennessee, USA) - 'The Hairy Chested Frog', (Road To Lisdoonvarna); Janet Bates, (Oregon, USA) - 'Let that rich man pay for a change', (For All of his Wealth); Simon Fox, (Vancouver, Canada) - 'Powderhorn', (A Winter's Tale)   Produced by Precious Oil Productions Ltd, for Kingdom Come Trust.
