MOUNT HOLLY, N.J. — GoFundMe says it has refunded everyone who contributed to a campaign involving a homeless vet eran from Philadelphia who prosecutors allege schemed with a New Jersey couple to scam donors out of more than $400,000. GoFundMe spokesman Bobby Whithorne said Tues day that “all donors who con tributed to this GoFundMe campaign have been fully refunded” and the organiza tion is cooperating fully with law enforcement. Burlington County pros ecutors allege in a crimi nal complaint that Johnny Bobbitt conspired with Katelyn McClure and her boyfriend at the time, Mark D’Amico, to concoct a feel good story about Bobbitt giving McClure his last $20 when her car ran out of gas. They raised $400,000, which authorities say was spent on luxury items and casino trips. Whithorne said cam paigns involving misuse “make up less than one tenth of one percent” of all GoFundMe campaigns, but such behavior “is unacceptable” and “has consequences.” “We have a zero toler ance policy for fraudulent behavior,” he said. “If fraud occurs, donors get refunded and we work with law enforcement officials to recover the money. ” McClure has alleged through her lawyer that D’Amico duped her. His law yer has denied the allega tions. Prosecutors released texts from McClure includ ing one sent right after the GoFundMe page was set up in which they allege she told a friend that the “gas part is completely made up.” Prosecutors began inves tigating last summer after Bobbitt said he wasn’t get ting money raised on his behalf. He later sued the couple. ACHMAD IBRAHIM I Associated Press An Indonesian soldier searches for the tsunami victims in Sumur, Indonesia, Tuesday, Dec. 25. Indonesia tsunami survivors still jittery as deaths hit 429 BY NINIEK KARMINI Associated Press SUMUR, Indonesia — Panicked residents, police and soldiers in this remote fishing village clobbered by a devastating weekend tsu nami ran to higher ground Tuesday, shouting “Water is coming! Water is coming!” and reciting verses from the Quran as emergency mes sages were broadcast over mosque speakers. It proved to be a false alarm, but a similar frenzy broke out in Tanjung Lesung, another tsunami-stricken area located hours away, as unsettled survivors of the disaster remained trauma tized by a tragedy that killed more than 420 people and left thousands homeless. Meanwhile, Christmas cel ebrations were replaced by prayers, as church leaders called on Christians across Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, to pray for tsunami victims. Unlike other tsunamis that have hit disaster-prone Indo nesia following large earth quakes, Saturday’s big waves blasted ashore at night with out warning. The eruption of Anak Krakatau, or Child of Krakatoa, a volcano in the Sunda Strait, is believed to have created a landslide on the volcano’s slope, displac ing a large volume of water that slammed into the islands of Java and Sumatra. People in Sumur vil lage, which has been slow to receive aid due to roads being cut off, remained stunned by how quickly the tsunami hit. The beach, located just a few miles from the tourist island of Umang near Java’s western tip, is popular for snorkeling and other water activities. The tsunami decimated the area, ripping houses from their foundations and bulldozing concrete buildings. Scientists have said the tsu nami’s waves were recorded in several places at about 3.3 feet high, but residents of Sumur insisted they tow ered more than 10 feet there. They said a soaring white wall of water roared toward them at high speeds, ripping trees out of the ground by their roots. “There was no sign of a tsunami when we were at the beach. The sea didn’t recede,” said Tati Hayati, a housewife, who was enjoy ing a pleasant evening with 10 other people when the disaster hit. “It was calm and bright with the full moon.” When she spotted high, fast-moving waves launching toward the shore, she ran to her car and managed to get inside. But she couldn’t out run it. She said the car was struck by three waves, break ing out the back window and filling the vehicle with gush ing water. “We were locked inside. The car was swaying in the waves and we thought we would all die,” Hayati said. “We almost could not breathe and I almost gave up when I groped the key in the water and managed to open the door, and the water began to recede. We got out of the car and ran to safety.” The disaster was com pounded because it occurred over a busy holiday weekend before Christmas when many people had fled crowded cit ies such as Jakarta, Indo nesia’s capital, to relax at popular beach areas. The death toll climbed to 429 on Tuesday, with more than 1,400 people injured and at least 128 missing, said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman for Indonesia’s Disaster Mitigation Agency.

Daniel Watson Medical News Today BOSTON - The medical community now has a safer and more effective alternative to sex pills, which they can immediately start offering to male patients. It will not require a prescription. The alternative, called Sensum*®, is an amazing new sex cream that activates a sensation pathway on the penis known as TRPA1. When applied as directed, it leads to incredible arousal and much more satisfying erections. It also promotes powerful climaxes and ultimately results in significant improvements in performance. “Men can expect out standing sexual improve ments with regular use. The penis will become hyper sensitive, making them easily aroused and excitable” explains Dr. Henry Esber, the Boston based scientist who intro duced Sensum*® to mar ket. “And that’s because Sensum + ® does what no other sex pill or drug has done before - it stimulates a special sensory pathway right below the skin, which leads to phenomenal sensation.” Overtime, constant exposure (especially if circumcised] leads to decreased penis sensitivity, which can cause problems with arousal and erection quality. There just isn’t enough feeling to get excited. ” “Diabetes, anti depressants and normal aging also leads to desensitization, a can make the situation even worse.” “This is what makes Sensum + ® so effective and why the clinical studies and clinical use studies have been so positive.” MISDIAGNOSIS LEADS TO UNNEEDED PRESCRIPTIONS After years of clinical research and testing, Dr. Esber and his team have discovered an incredible compound that triggers arousal while helping men achieve erections more easily. This compound isn’t a drug. It’s the active ingredient in Sensum + ®. And according to users, it produces sensational results. Many men report remarkable improvements in sexual performance and overall satisfaction. They are more sexually active than they’ve been in years with the average Sensum + ® user over the age of 50. Clinical studies show Sensum + ®’s key ingredient activates the TRPA1 sensation pathway right below the skin of the penis. According to research, many men adults and seniors who suffer sexually have lost sensation in their penis due to constant rubbing and exposure and health related issues such as diabetes, hernia surgery, use of some anti depressants, multiple sclerosis, and other type of illnesses. This desensitization often makes sex extremely challenging. Without a 100% feeling in the penis, its next to impossible to get truly aroused. Worse, modern day sex drugs have absolutely no effect on sensation and are laden with side effects. They simply stimulate an erection by enhancing blood flow. It’s why most men are rarely satisfied after taking them and why Sensum + ® users are always stocking up on more and couldn’t be happier. “We knew the science behind Sensum + ® was there, but we never expected results like we’re seeing. It’s far exceeded our expectations” said a spokesperson for the company. A STAGGERING 80% IMPROVEMENT IN SENSITIVITY Researchers have conducted several clinical studies on Sensum + ® and the results from the most recent are undoubtedly the most impressive. A data analysis of three clinical surveys of 370 men showed that an amazing 80% of Sensum*® users experienced dramatic improvements while using the cream and as a result were aroused easier and a phenomenal boost in performance. Additionally, 77.4% of men also reported much more satisfying climaxes, making sex for both them and their partners nearly 300 % more satisfying. “I have full feeling and sensitivity back in my penis. Everything feels better. My erections are harder, I’m more easily aroused, I can finally climax again. This stuff honestly works like magic in the bedroom. I couldn’t be happier at 66!” raves one Sensum + ® user. HOW SENSUM + ® WORKS Sensum + ® is a new sex cream for men that’s to be applied twice a day for the first two weeks then just once every day after. There are no harmful side effects for either the user or partner. It also does not require a prescription. The active ingredient is an organic compound known as cinnamaldehyde with a patented combination of sexually rousing extracts. Research shows that as men get older, they often lose sensitivity to the penis. Although very subtle, this desensitization can significantly hinder sexual performance and lead to serious problems with becoming aroused and staying/getting hard. The cinnamaldehyde in Sensum*® is one of the only known ingredients to activate a special sensation pathway on the penis called TRPA1. Once activated, it restores tremendous sensation to the penis, stimulating arousal and powerful erections. This would explain why so many users are experiencing impressive results so quickly and why the distributors of Sensum*® offer their low cost cream with an amazing guarantee. GUARANTEE DISCOUNTED SUPPLY TAKES RISK OFF CONSUMERS A large percentage of men report life changing results with Sensum*®. That’s why it is now being sold with an above industry standard guarantee. “We can only make this guarantee because we are 100% certain this cream works,” says Esber. “We want to take risk off the consumers. So besides offering massive discounts, we’re also offering this guarantee, so they don’t have to risk a cent.” Here’s how it works: Use the cream exactly as directed and you must feel a significant improvement in sexual sensations. You must be more easily aroused with harder, longer lasting erections and be having the best sex you’ve had in years. Otherwise, simply return the empty bottles. Then, the company will refund your money immediately. HOW TO GET SENSUM + ® This is the official release of Sensum*®.
