Staffing issues lead to closure of GP practice
Northumberland's largest town is to lose one of its GP practices, which serves around 5,000 patients.
Wednesday, 29th August 2018, 4:12 pm
Updated Wednesday, 29th August 2018, 4:16 pm
Collingwood Medical Group is based at Blyth Health Centre.
Collingwood Medical Group, based at Blyth Health Centre, will close on Friday, November 30, and the contract is not being re-tendered, with patients advised to register at other surgeries.
The practice is part of Northumbria Primary Care (NPC), a wholly-owned subsidiary company of Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust that was set up in 2015, aiming 'to help GPs meet the everyday challenges facing local practices through a single provider'.
But Julie Danskin, managing director of NPC, said: "Over the past three years, the practice team at Collingwood Medical Group has faced significant difficulties with regard to a number of issues, most notably in recruitment.
"The resulting over-reliance on locums has meant we haven't been able to guarantee patients continuity from their doctor – which a high proportion need and which we feel everyone deserves.
"Over this period, no stone has been left unturned in an effort to resolve the issues and put the practice on a sustainable footing – the staff on the ground in particular have been amazing.
"Unfortunately, these efforts have not been successful we have been forced to give notice to terminate the contract.
"In the interim, we are working closely with other practices in the area and the Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) to ensure a safe handover of care for all those patients affected."
Siobhan Brown, chief operating officer for NHS Northumberland CCG, which buys health services for the county, said a decision had to be taken on 'how best to ensure patients continue to have access to healthcare locally'.
"After careful consideration of all the available options, including the procurement of another contract, the CCG reluctantly decided that the practice will close permanently and stop delivering GP services on November 30.
"Together with NHS England, we are working closely with neighbouring practices to ensure they are supported during this period.
"We would like to reassure patients that the CCG is committed to ensuring that they have access to the best healthcare as close to home as possible."
Meanwhile, Healthwatch Northumberland, which looks after the interests of patients, is monitoring the situation and ensuring patients receive clear information.
A spokeswoman said: "Our focus is to ensure that the change works for patients and does not disrupt their healthcare.
"Some patients have contacted us with concerns about re-registering and we have helped them resolve their issues. We would encourage anyone who is worried about the process to contact us.
"We are aware that the closure of Collingwood Surgery could impact on neighbouring practices and again we would urge people to contact us with those concerns so that we can let the CCG know how the changes are affecting people and how GP services can be made to work for the people of Blyth."

Norco Family Dental Group provides professional teeth whitening and veneers in Norco. While teeth whitening is an excellent choice for removing external (extrinsic) stains, deep discoloration (intrinsic staining) is highly resistant to this whitening and often require treatment with veneers.
Professional teeth whitening treatment is highly effective at brightening smiles that have become discolored due to years of consuming, coffee, wine, and other richly pigmented beverages and foods. Tobacco use and less than ideal oral hygiene habits also dull your teeth. This extrinsic staining responds very well to teeth whitening and our Norco, CA dentist has helped many of our patients achieve a significantly brighter smile with this treatment.
We offer both traditional porcelain veneers as well as low to no prep Lumineers® at Norco Family Dental Group.
At your initial visit, Dr. Ghorbanian assess your overall dental health and explain the benefits of each option. Depending on your specific issues, the condition of your teeth, and your ultimate smile goals, you and our dedicated dentist will decide which approach is best for you.
An impression of your smile is obtained and sent to our trusted lab for the fabrication of your veneers. Within two weeks, these prosthetics are ready to be applied. During your second visit, these thin porcelain shells are securely attached to the front of each tooth you have chosen to treat.
Veneers provide a strong, long-lasting method to completely transform the look of your smile. Dr. Ghorbanian takes meticulous care in the planning and application of your veneers. He understands the difference a confident smile can make and is committed to helping our patients' increase their self-esteem with our quality cosmetic dental services.
In addition to traditional porcelain veneers, Norco Family Dental Group offers the ultra-thin option of Lumineers®. Made of translucent Cerinate® porcelain, patients who receive Lumineers® benefit from an attractive solution that can also endure the stresses of normal social functions, such as eating and speaking.
With a thickness comparable to a contact lens, preparation for placing Lumineers® is minimal, even compared to the already conservative approach of traditional veneers. This means our patients may receive treatment sooner and with fewer appointments. Additionally, while properly maintained Lumineers® can be of service for more than 20 years, reversing this treatment can be a fairly uncomplicated process, if necessary.
As Lumineers® take advantage of the appeal of underlying natural teeth, our Norco cosmetic dentist recommends this treatment for patients seeking to augment the appearance of a healthy smile.
If you would like to learn more about enhancing your smile with veneers at our Norco practice or to schedule your first appointment, call our office today! We're here to make you smile.


Inspired by a Campaign were a current model wore a cute green jumpsuit, inspired Roland enough to draw a fun illustration depicting her in that outfit, but Moon-Tooned up a bit.
One was drawn, a second a third.. etc etc.. after 10 inspired illustrations, Roland's mind went in a tailspin and was transported in the world of that green jumpsuit and that freaky hat she had with her in one of those commercials. Next came a 10 page short story, hardly any words, text and so on. Almost a short silent story, but intriguing enough to keep at it and possibly getting a new series going..
Fun enough to make those 10 pages a small comicbook and making prints available from this series for the fans that can't get enough!

ASU women's basketball leaps back into AP top 25 after upsets over Oregon, Oregon State
Jeff Metcalfe
Arizona State women's basketball leaped back into the national top 25 Monday after their upsets of No. 2-ranked Oregon and No. 3 Oregon State.
ASU went from unranked and receiving three votes last week in the Associated Press 25 to No. 18 with 200 votes.
The new USA Today coaches poll comes out Tuesday. ASU was fifth among others receiving votes outside the top 25 in that poll last week.
It was not the largest climb ever from unranked to ranked. Kansas State entered at No. 14 January 2002 -- its first ranking since 1984 -- after beating top-10 Iowa State and Baylor, raising its win streak to 11.
ASU (13-4, 3-2 Pac-12) was ranked in the AP preseason poll and No. 19 after a 2-0 start. The Sun Devils lost at Minnesota on Nov. 17 and have been out of the top 25 since, also hurt by a loss to Purdue on Nov. 30.
Since December, ASU is 8-2 with the losses by a combined seven points to No. 21 Arizona and undefeated No. 7 UCLA.
Eleven teams in the AP top 25 lost at least once last week including the top three and five of the top 10. ASU is believed to be the first unranked team to beat two top-five teams in the same weekend.
That caused a major reshufling in the poll with South Carolina rising from No. 4 to No. 1.
Other Pac-12 rankings this week are Stanford No. 3, Oregon No. 6 and Oregon State No. 8.
ASU is at Washngton on Friday and Washington State on Sunday before a rematch with Arizona in Tucson on Jan. 24.
ASU senior center Ja'Tavia Tapley was named ESPNW national Player of the Week and is a candidate to win Pac-12 Player of the Week. She led the balanced Sun Devils in scoring in both upsets with a combined 30 points and 12 rebounds.
AP women's basketball top 25
South Carojlina 1, Baylor 2, Stanford 3, Connecticut 4, Louisville 5, Oregon 6, UCLA 7, Oregon State 8, North Carolina State 9, Mississippi State 10, Kentucky 11, Texas A&M 12, Florida State 13, DePaul 14, Indiana 15, Gonzaga 16, West Virginia 17, Arizona State 18, Missouri State 19, Maryland 20, Arizona 21, Iowa 22, Arkansas 23, Tennessee 24, South Dakota 25.

Holding Pattern: Stories
by Jeffery Renard Allen
The world of Jeffery Renard Allen's stunning short story collection, HOLDING PATTERN, is a recognizable city (Chicago), but one in which a young man, jailed for jumping a subway turnstile, might sprout wings, or copper pennies might rain from the skies. Yet these are no fairy tales – Allen's sensitivity to the realities of African American life is assuredly contemporary. Dazzlingly written, astonishingly inventive and unfailingly entertaining, HOLDING PATTERN is a break-out collection.
In all the stories, Allen calibrates mounting tension with exquisite timing in mesmerizing prose that has won him comparisons with Joyce and Faulkner and The Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence.
Jeffery Renard Allen is the author of five books including the novels SONG OF THE SHANK, which was a finalist for the PEN / Faulkner Award, and RAILS UNDER MY BACK, which won the Chicago Tribune's Heartland Prize for Fiction; the short story collection Holding Pattern; and two collections of poetry. A Professor of Creative Writing at the University of Virginia, Allen is the recipient of a Whiting Writers' Award, a grant in Innovative Literature from the Creative Capital Foundation, and a Guggenheim Fellowship.

UC football at USF: Three keys and a prediction
After dominating the University of Connecticut (UConn) on homecoming last week, the No. 17 University of Cincinnati football team will return to action Saturday evening in Tampa, Fla. at the University of South Florida (USF).
UC is playing another team with a sub-.500 record, as the Bulls are 4-5, 2-3 American Athletic Conference (AAC). However, USF is better than its record. The Bulls haven't beaten a ranked team but defeated East Carolina by 25 points. UC needed a last second game-winning field goal to beat East Carolina Nov. 2.
Below are three keys and a prediction for Saturday's game:
Establish the run early
UC head coach Luke Fickell said running back Michael Warren II is in for a big finish to the season, and he has an intriguing matchup against a rush defense that allows 194 rushing yards per game.
Warren has trucked his way into the endzone five time the last two games, while junior Gerrid Doaks provided an insurance blanket in the backfield with a season-high 123 rushing yards against UConn last week.
USF is at the top of the conference in passing defense (174.3 yards per game), which gives UC a reason to stay on the ground. Bearcat quarterback Desmond Ridder has back-to-back games with at least 90 rushing yards, so this is a good opportunity for him to utilize the dual-threat abilities.
Limit damage in the red zone
Since conference play began Oct. 4, the Bearcats has done an exceptional job limiting the damage when its opponents enter the red zone, as teams have scored more field goals (10) than touchdowns (7).
UC was able to hold East Carolina to a field goal in the fourth quarter that enabled the Bearcats to score on the ensuing drive, tie the game and force overtime.
Load the box
In what was initially a surprise in their first few games, the Bearcats' defensive line has thrived in getting to the quarterback, and it has become a reoccurring theme.
UC wasn't able to record a sack against East Carolina, which may have had an effect on the 46-43 score, but when they're in a groove they're hard to stop.
The Bearcats have recorded at least two sacks in five games and could be in for a big day, as USF has surrendered 28 sacks this season — nine more than any other AAC team. Loading the box will shadow USF's rushing attack and frustrate a quarterback, which could force mistakes.
Score prediction: UC 30, USF 27
UC hasn't won at USF since 2011 and it'll be another battle from start to finish. The defense got its wake up call against East Carolina after forcing 14 turnovers the three games leading up to that matchup. UC uses its late game heroics to win its eighth straight game after Ridder finds senior tight end Josiah Deguara for a touchdown in the final minutes.

The monument was erected in 2014 by the Durham camp of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
A watch commander with the Durham Police Department said the department hadn't been notified of the destruction as of Sunday around 4:50 p.m., and she planned to send an officer to check it out.
It is at least the second time the monument has been vandalized. In July 2015, cemetery workers found "Black Lives Matter" and "Tear It Down," painted in black on the memorial, The News & Observer reported.
"It is just aggravating," said William G. O'Quinn, a member of the N.C. Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the Durham camp of the organization.
The memorial was put up to honor people "that did what they thought what was right," he said.
A Durham confederate monument in the city of Durham's Maplewood Cemetery was recently vandalized. Here it sits on Sunday, April 7, 2019, with what appears to be cement smeared on the memorial's bronze plaque that remembered Orange and Durham Confederate companies. Virginia Bridges vbridges@newsobserver.com
In August 2017, protesters pulled down a Confederate statue in front of the old Durham County courthouse, which is now an administrative building.
A dozen people were initially charged, but the charges were all eventually dismissed.
Some were dismissed early on for a lack of evidence. Charges against the rest were dismissed after three trials in which a judge dismissed three misdemeanor charges against two people and acquitted another. Then District Attorney Roger Echols then announced he would dismiss the charges against the remaining five defendants accused of destroying the statue.
O'Quinn said he isn't hopeful that the people responsible for the recent destruction would be prosecuted if they are caught.
"Who is going to prosecute a law that is going to make them look bad," O'Quinn said.
Raul Mauro Jimenez, who was acquitted in the Durham statue case, was one of four people charged with damaging the UNC-Chapel Hill Confederatememorial Silent Sam on Aug. 20.

Real World Places You Can Visit In Video Games
When you play a video game, you're taking a long trip to a virtual world that could be in a fantasy realm, back in time or even 1000 years in the future - the possibilities are endless.
But what if you fancy a trip to somewhere that isn't fictional - that you could actually visit if you wanted to? Well, there are plenty of games you can play that use the real world as their setting - including places that you may have already visited.
Here's a list of some of the coolest locations you can visit in the game - and who knows, maybe you'll get to see them with your own eyes at some point, you can find out more information on this at csgobook.com!
The Colosseum - Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
One of the most famous sights in Rome - if not the whole of Italy, is the Colosseum. Whilst you may have already travelled there and seen this impressive structure, one of the annoying aspects of visiting a well known landmark can be other tourists.
Thankfully, the full splendour of the Colosseum can be enjoyed in Assassins Creed: Brotherhood. Whilst there are a few NPC's that wander around the interior of the once bustling Amphitheatre, other than that you have absolute freedom to explore the building as you wish.
The developers of the game couldn't make the structure totally to the specifications of the real colosseum though thanks to the technology they were working with, but these changes aren't enough to ruin your in-game experience of it. You even get to do a few missions in there, which help you in exploring every inch of this majestic building.
Hong Kong City - Sleeping Dogs
If you've ever wanted to take a trip and experience a thriving city in Hong Kong, you definitely need to check out Sleeping Dogs. In the game, Hong Kong is rendered absolutely incredibly.
You've got the reflections of the neon lights glistening in the puddles on the floor, a wide range of supercars lurching by you as your stroll along the sidewalk, street vendors trying to get you to buy their delicious looking noodle and pork buns and you can even head to a karaoke bar for some sing along fun.
The story will take you all over the map, giving you the chance to view and enjoy totally different zones in the game and get a truly authentic experience of a virtual Hong Kong.
Takoma Park - Fallout 3
When Fallout 3 came out, a lot of people spent plenty of their time just getting lost in the incredible environment. Set in a post-apocalyptic Washington D.C., it is astounding how true to the real place Bethesda made the playable area.
Whilst they had to shrink distances between places down a bit to make the map traversable, We wouldn't be surprised if you could actually be able to navigate around the real life Washington D.C just from the knowledge of the map in Fallout 3.
The mutant blasting gameplay is excellent - especially fighting them off of the Washington monument. But what really caught our attention was the sheer level of detail in the Georgetown areas, as well as Takoma Park. Both of these neighbourhoods conjure up different feelings for you when you're fighting through them and you'll take a second to stop and take the sights in.
The Reichstag - Call of Duty: World at War
A barnstormer of an FPS game, Call of Duty: World at War pulled no punches when it came to portraying the horrors of the second world war.
The final mission featured the looming headquarters of the Third Reich, You play as a soldier from the Russian front, storming the building as you fight your way through to one of the most monumental buildings from WWII.
The action is thick and intense but you can stop to take a breather every now and again to have a look around the surroundings and take in the sheer fact that this actually happened. Whilst not everything about the Reichstag is totally realistic - it is set in the past and a big budget video game after all - there's enough detail to make you feel like you're actually there.
New York City - Spiderman
With technology getting better seemingly every year, it's no surprise that we can now create replicas of entire cities with almost pin point accuracy. New York City is no exception, and this game captures the distance and scale of New York perfectly.
It's not an actual 1 to 1 a player has actually measured the distance in the game between Battery Park and Harlem and it came out as just under half the distance than it is in real life, The atmosphere of the big apple is captured flawlessly, with different neighbourhoods having different feels.
The Whole Western Frontier - Red Dead Redemption 2
Doing what the prequel did but even better, Red Dead Redemption 2 captures the spirit of the old west in a way no other game ever could - or probably will.
Whilst you can't exactly visit the sites of the game exactly as you see them on there (the game is set 100+ years ago), you can easily take a trip out west and visit some of the more famous landmarks you find on your adventures.
You probably won't have to visit these landmarks though - the game is ridiculously realistic and booting up the game is essentially like living in the wild west, way back when it was filled with outlaws and damsels in distress.

Q: Modifying a configuration file in several nodes my question is very straightforward, I need to modify the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file in 80 nodes, so I wonder how can I make it automatically. Is it there any tool to manage those kind of configuration in multiple nodes?? Thanks
All the nodes in the cluster use Centos 5 x86_64.

A: There are a lot of tools and more or less advanced solutions - like Pupper or Chef. rdist is nice tool as well to propagate files to multiple boxes - it's something like a distributed rsync and you can prepare config that will containg what and where should be uploaded.
But if you don't want to go so far you can use simpler way to achieve it.
If you have ssh keys propagated you can easy copy the file to multiple boxes:
#!/bin/bash
for host in `cat ./host_list_file`; do
 scp ./sshd_config ${host}:/etc/ssh/sshd_config
done

A: I would suggest Python Paramiko module. Using that you can implement SFTP transfer to the multiple nodes with only few lines of code.

Procedures in the Valleyview Courthouse
The first date in the Mayor's Court in Valleyview, Ohio, is called the arraignment. At the arraignment, the sitting magistrate will read the charges pending against you and ask you to enter a plea of either 'not guilty', 'guilty', or 'no contest'.
The individual accused of a crime will be given a 'Basic Rights Form'. The form summarizes the rights of the accused and the options for resolving the case. The form also describes the various pleas. The form explains what it means to plead guilty, not contest, or not guilty. The person accused of the crime will also have a chance to speak with the city's prosecutor prior to the hearing if they are not represented by an attorney.
The hearings run on a first come, first serve basis. Trials are usually held until after all the defendants have entered a plea on a court date scheduled at arraignment. No trial will happen at the first court date. If you don't have an attorney, you must appear just to ask for the case to be scheduled for a trial.
If you retain an attorney to represent you at the arraignment, then the attorney may be able to waive your appearance and enter the not guilty plea on your behalf so that you do not have to appear in court. After arraignment, the prosecutor's office will send your attorney the discovery in the case which often includes a list of witnesses and evidence that the prosecutor would use at trial.
Your attorney can review the discovery with you, question the witnesses, help you negotiate the most favorable outcome before trial, or prepare the case for trial. The goal in many of these cases is either minimizing the penalties, fighting for a reduction of the charges, or fighting for an outright dismissal.
The court in Valleyview Mayor's Court does not conduct jury trial or evidentiary hearings. If you wish to contest the case further, then you and your attorney can opt to transfer the case for an evidentiary hearing or a jury trial at the Franklin County Municipal Court.

The Veritas Brush came to Harley in a most unexpected way. It was Santo that had given it to him. Abandoned by his own father at the age of three, Harley had befriended the old man across the street when he had begun gardening for him at age nine. Santo's wife had died years before, and despite many attempts, the two had never been blessed with a child. Harley's mother was an absent one at best, who never found the time to enquire into the nature of her son's relationship with Santo. She never realised just how lucky she was – that her child had found solace and companionship with such a fellow. Santo and Harley became very close over the years, until age took its toll and Santo became quite ill.
It was on his death-bed that Santo bequeathed the object that would change Harley's life forever. Twenty at the time, Harley had become disillusioned with life, having fallen prey to the darkest temptations of the night. But, though he had drifted down many a wrong path, he had remained loyal to Santo, and had continued to visit long after he had moved out and become estranged from his mother.
Harley read to Santo as he lay in bed, and he had done countless times before. Santo, as always, listened with an air of contentment, not fazed by his imminent departure from this earth. But on this particular day, an anxiety arose in the old man that Harley had never witnessed before. He forcefully grabbed the young man's hand and pulled him close, as if suddenly desperate to convey something. It was then that he had hastily told Harley of the Veritas Brush – a sacred instrument that showed the user deep insights into their own soul, ones that could not be reached by any other means. From Santo's description Harley learned that the Veritas Brush appeared as an ordinary little old paintbrush. But one only had to begin to paint with it to unleash its indefinable powers. Harley had been both confused and intensely fascinated at the time. After he had explained what it was, Santo's demeanour took on an even more serious tone. He had lowered his voice and stared into the very soul of Harley, saying that it was Harley's destiny to be the keeper of the brush – that only he could be trusted to use it properly – to enlighten lost souls seeking answers. It was to be used very selectively. Harley began to protest, but Santo was adamant that he would know when the time was right.
Once unburdened of the prize he had guarded for so many years, Santo had felt the end draw intoxicatingly near. With his last breath his eyes bore into Harley's, as he struggled to voice one final warning, 'Under no circumstances are you to ever use the brush yourself … for the consequences will be most horrid and unwelcome … it is absolutely paramount that you not …' And with that last surge of intense effort he was claimed by the afterlife, as Harley sat immobile, frozen with shock and overwhelming confusion.
After the funeral Harley had spent days in his flat, just staring at the ordinary looking object bequeathed to him, angry, and laden with unanswered questions. And then, quite abruptly, he forgot about it for a time. His attentions periodically taken with yet another unsuitable woman, he had tucked the brush away, where it remained untouched for many years.
That was, until Neve came along. After travelling haphazardly around the world for three years, Harley had found himself in the South-West of Australia, picking up odd jobs as they came along. He met Neve, a backpacker from Ireland, when he was fruit-picking. They collided together with an intensity that was foreign to both of them. It was a destructive, yet liberating, melding of souls. They rented a little shack together and stayed there for five months, each feeding the addictive, dark side of the other.
It was in the height of this darkness that Neve began to contemplate suicide. As brutally honest as their relationship was, she held nothing back from Harley, whose arguments against the prospect of death did nothing to shift the canyon of despair within her. But it was only when he first saw her blood that the Veritas Brush re-entered his mind for the first time in years. She had already begun opening up her veins when it occurred to him that he might be able to save her. Without really thinking about it, he ran to his blue backpack and withdrew the faded brown cloth, fumbling to unravel its contents before it was too late. Equipped with only a can of white house paint and no canvass, Harley was forced to think quickly. Staring around madly, he caught sight of the kitchen table. With one foul swoop he ridded it of its contents and threw the tin of paint upon it. He carried Neve into the kitchen like a child, thumped her down in a chair, and clasped her hand around the brush. Then he slowly pushed her hand toward the kitchen table.
'Paint,' he demanded.
He stood back, gasping for air, completely unsure of what would, or what should, happen next. For a moment Neve did nothing, she just sat there, with a glazed look in her eyes. Harley began to panic that it had all been a lie. Of course the brush did nothing! Just as his doubts began to seize him, Neve's body suddenly lurched into motion. She dug the brush hard into the paint and began furiously striking at the surface of the table. Harley stepped back, aghast, and watched as a picture began to form on the wood. Neve was in a trance, yet the image was quite tangible, and so very, very real.
Afterwards, when she had come back to him, they sat huddled together in the kitchen, as she revealed to him the shocking abuse she had endured as a child, and how she had repressed it for all these years, unknowingly wandering the planet in search of another reality. The picture the kitchen table bore had made no sense to Harley until Neve had unburdened the most torturous elements of her soul to him. She went back to Ireland to confront her past soon after, and Harley was left alone to contemplate the true power of the gift he had been given, and what it meant for his future.
It took only one more incident with the Veritas Brush for Harley to realise its full potential, and subsequently his own potential as its guardian. With a diligence and sense of determination most unlike him, Harley moved to Perth and completed a counselling diploma. It was an intellectual time that required no need of the brush, and for a while, his life was somewhat peaceful. He got casual work at a school, and then a part-time job at a rehab centre for adolescents. It was at the latter that he began to struggle. The stories of these children – for they were still so very young – were heartbreaking to hear and Harley found it increasingly difficult to be objective. The Veritas Brush was forever in his mind, as he tried to remedy the damage that had already been done to these young souls. But he instinctively knew that he could not use the brush on one without offering it to all the others. It was an impossible situation that he began to find unbearable.
Then he found himself face to face with Luke. Over several sessions Harley became more and more intrigued by this deeply disturbed, yet highly intelligent, fourteen year old. He had been through unimaginable horrors, which he openly discussed with Harley with a somewhat cold clarity amd objectivity. When the boy began to speak about his father, the urge to use the brush resurfaced with such ferocity in Harley that he could not ignore it.
He had found himself driving, quite unexpectedly, to the father's house. He had no idea what he was going to say or how he was going to go about it – he just knew, with upmost certainty, that this man must use the brush. It had taken a lot of persuasion, but finally, somehow, the man had conceded. It was as though the sight of the object made refusal impossible. Harley had been prepared that time, despite the spontaneity of the desire. He had come equipped with paint and a sizeable canvass. He was not, however, prepared for what would be revealed to him on that canvass – the barely recognisable shadowed figures, huddled in religious disguises, tearing apart pieces of a body.
When it was over and he had returned to consciousness the man stood, shaking with fear, recoiling from his own truth.
'What have I done?' he kept murmuring, almost inaudibly. He realised, in that singular moment, all the wrongs he had committed, and simultaneously, the one deed he could do to make it all right again. Without any further analysis, he grabbed his keys and bolted out the door in search of his son.
Harley had never felt more alive, more inspired, or more … needed. He bathed in complete contentedness that night, with a deep sense of purpose and satisfaction melding together harmoniously in his soul.
It wasn't long after that that he had made plans to open the retreat. They were minimalist plans, as he lacked decent finances, but he was able to procure a very modest abode, deep in the heart of the Karri Valley – a place that had felt right to him as soon as his feet had touched the earth. He planned for over a year before he was satisfied with the system he had developed. He had devised a stringent selection process for his clients. Only a few were selected and treated at a time, each bound to secrecy, and only allowed to use the Veritas Brush when trust had been fully established. It worked every time, and he saved countless people over many years.
But as the years went by, and more souls walked away enlightened, remarkably and inexplicably fulfilled, something strange began to happen to Harley. Without fully realising it, Harley became enamoured with his own power – arrogant even. He began to believe that it was he who wielded the power to heal and not the brush. He had transformed himself into a sort of shaman – the type of healer who was only accessible on a strange and deep level. When Laurel came back to see him it had been the final straw. He had treated her years ago, but he remembered it vividly. She had been one of the darkest minds he had ever seen, and one of the hardest to reach. When she came back to visit he was not surprised to hear that her life had turned around. But as she spoke of her perfect family, her high-paying, satisfying job, and investments, he felt no sense of pride in her accomplishments. He felt angry and disillusioned, for she didn't seem to understand the true value of life at all. It made him question the work that he was doing. This woman, having been victimised herself, had committed atrocities upon others that almost saw her not accepted into his programme. He had doubted his decision to take her only until the last session with the brush. But now that she stood before him, all admiring and cocky, he felt sickened and vulnerable.
It played on his mind long after she had left. He became consumed with negative thoughts and severe doubts. He kicked out the two clients who were staying with him without a second thought. And then he sat, drinking whisky from the bottle, and staring at the brush that had been given to him all those years ago. His entire being was consumed by the brush. For days he sat, not eating or showering, just sitting on the veranda, staring down the brush. His mind became riddled with demons, until they exploded violently through his body, taunting him with countless questions. Why should other people get the benefit of me? Why do I do this for others? Why me? Why not me? Harley went quite mad with the incessant nattering of the demons.
But it was the curiosity that finally unravelled his mind completely. As he sat there, quite paralysed by the torrent of emotions coursing through him, he began to get more and more curious about the brush. He had felt the desire before, but had quickly shut it down. Every time it manifested he recalled Santo's warning to never use it himself. But tonight he could not take his eyes off the brush. It seemed to be calling to him, wanting him to pick it up, needing him to hold it. It was insufferably tantalising.
On the fifth night, after three quarters of a bottle of whisky, he could take it no longer. He meticulously set up a momentous canvass in the centre of the painting grove. He filled his palette carefully. Then he looked at the white nakedness of the canvass and stripped of all his clothes until he too stood bare. In one drawn-out moment that transcended time his hand reached for the instrument of his undoing.
His mind instantly went black. Then suddenly, fuzzy, unrecognisable shapes drifted stealthily through the leaves, planting seeds of ice in his soul. Images of his life flickered painfully through his semi-conscious mind, racing into existence. The very earth crept up to meet him, enveloping him in velvety hatred. A dense grey fog encircled him, tightening its grip around his torso, until the pain was almost unbearable. Yet a strange sense of satisfaction snuck in alongside the pain, and for a brief second Harley was caught off-guard. He felt himself stumbling backwards into an inescapable abyss.
With a sickening punch to the heart Harley's sight returned to him, and with it, his consciousness. For a moment he stood paralysed, breathless from the tumultuous journey he had just been on. Only when he began to feel his bare feet once again on the earth did he start to realize that he was covered in red paint. Confused, he held out his shaking hands. Fat, red droplets plummeted off them into the dirt below. It was then that he shifted his gaze to the canvass.
What he saw there stripped him of all his remaining strength. He collapsed to his knees. With eyes widened in unimaginable terror he stared at the image, as, with horrifying clarity, he remembered …
Anyone else would have looked at that canvass and seen nothing but a simple, almost rudimentary, black car in a sea of red. But Harley saw his own truth in that image. He remembered his truth. He remembered that night. With violent intensity he recalled the feeling of the car spinning out of control. He saw the look on his wife's face. He heard his son screaming. In slow motion he saw the blood spilling out of his wife and son, as they lay broken. He saw his own blood melding into theirs as he held them, screaming. The sound of the scream made Harley clasp his hands over his ears, as the memories flicked faster …
His son's funeral … watching the agony upon his wife's face … sitting by, feeling so utterly helpless as Neve sunk into depression. Then finally finding her lifeless body hanging in the bathroom …
Then the visions shifted to a different space. He remembered the white walls of the hospital. He saw himself, gazing vacantly out the window, as echoes of Dr Santo Martinez' voice shivered through the space. The doctor's words to Harley's Aunt Laurel, 'He has experienced a catastrophic psychotic break …' Conversations flickered through his mind at a frightening speed. Dr Martinez asking him to confront his grief, 'Neve and Luke would not have wanted you to mourn them forever … it wasn't your fault Harley' … His Aunty's harsh attempts to jolt him back to reality. Vivid visions of the art therapy classes appeared next – those sessions that had finally bought him some small measure of peace.
Harley saw all these things, in one torturous instant, that vibrated endlessly within his soul. He realised, as he stared at the canvass, that none of it had been real. He realised that he had forged an alternate reality that had allowed him to escape the truth. He realised that he had been so truly and utterly broken that he had fragmented his being into pieces, creating characters to save, solely for the purpose of hiding the shame of not being able to save his own family. He had befriended the other patients, and had made himself into a kind of healer. He had been consumed by hatred for Laurel, his one link to his past, and he had used her as a target for his smouldering anger. His world was fabricated. There was no reality.
But where he now stood was real. He was a man gone mad, standing in front of a canvas, held in a prison of white, bathing in the blood of his past.

Shortage of child psychologists on cards after training funds blunder
By Simeon Brody on April 18, 2007 in Adults, Children, Mental Health, Workforce
The supply of educational psychologists could "collapse" following a funding distribution mistake by local government representatives, a charity has claimed.
The British Psychological Society said there was funding for only 79 of the 150 educational psychology training places needed for the academic year beginning in September and called on the government to underwrite the shortfall. Until this year funding for the courses was distributed by the Local Government Association to universities.
But the society said the LGA decided to disperse the money through local authorities this year, despite assurances they would delay the change for a year to allow training providers to prepare for it.
And it claimed the LGA mistakenly distributed the money to district councils, which have no responsibility for education, as well as to county and unitary authorities. Efforts to retrieve the money have recovered only enough money to fund the 79 places, the society said.
Society president Professor Pam Maras said: "If the money is not available then sufficient numbers of professionals will not be able to begin their training. This would mean there was not enough trained staff coming through the system to meet the needs of vulnerable children and young people."
Norah Fredericson, professor of educational psychology at University College London, said distributing the money to individual authorities made no sense as most did not have a university providing educational psychology training in their area.
"It's left things in a complete state of chaos," she added.
Les Lawrence, chair of the LGA's children and young people board, said: "The LGA has worked hard with both partners and professionals to ensure as much money as possible is available for the training of educational psychologists next year."
A Department for Education and Skills spokesperson said: "Discussions are still proceeding with regard to future funding arrangements. Educational psychologists are employees of local, not central, government and it would be inappropriate for the DfES to intervene in these discussions."
Psychology in education
Educational psychologists work with young people with learning difficulties, emotional and behavioural problems to promote their educational development. They are typically employed by councils and most have a teaching background. From September 2006, one-year masters courses were replaced by three-year doctorate-level programmes as a training requirement.

Q: C# Read value from pointer with multiple offsets I'm trying to read a float using the VAMemory library, and I have the base offset and the offsets to be added to the pointer from CE, and I know they reference the value correctly (have been changing values accordingly in CE)
Here are the offsets as shown by CE: (According to previous questions on this topic, they should be applied from bottom to top as they appear in CE)

I've tried multiple implementations of "dereferencing" the pointers on each iteration, as the offsets have to be added one after the other, I'm not sure if I'm getting the base address correctly, if I should iterate through the modules of the process instead and match it with the name as I've seen done in other questions. I'm now trying to use an implementation that was shown in a similar question however the value I'm getting returned is always 0
private static float GetPointerValue(IntPtr baseAddress, int[] offsetArr)
{

VAMemory vam = new VAMemory("amtrucks");

//Adding original offset to base address
IntPtr pointer = IntPtr.Add((IntPtr)vam.ReadInt32(baseAddress + 0x014BC410), offsetArr[0]);
for (int i = 1; i < offsetArr.Length; i++)
{
   pointer = IntPtr.Add((IntPtr)vam.ReadInt32(pointer), offsetArr[i]);
}
return vam.ReadFloat(pointer);
}

public void SetCam(float height)
{
Process GameProcess = Process.GetProcessesByName("amtrucks").FirstOrDefault();
IntPtr BaseAddress = GameProcess.MainModule.BaseAddress;

//Offsets in reverse order
var offsetArr = new int[] { 0x18, 0x40, 0x0, 0x3C8, 0x48};

Console.WriteLine("value:" + GetPointerValue(BaseAddress, offsetArr));
}

It doesn't throw any exceptions or error message, but the value is always 0 (actual value is around 43)

A: public static IntPtr FindDMAAddy(IntPtr hProc, IntPtr ptr, int[] offsets)
{
    var buffer = new byte[IntPtr.Size];
    foreach (int i in offsets)
    {
        ReadProcessMemory(hProc, ptr, buffer, buffer.Length, out var read);

        ptr = (IntPtr.Size == 4)
        ? IntPtr.Add(new IntPtr(BitConverter.ToInt32(buffer, 0)), i)
        : ptr = IntPtr.Add(new IntPtr(BitConverter.ToInt64(buffer, 0)), i);
    }
    return ptr;
}

public static IntPtr GetModuleBaseAddress(Process proc, string modName)
{
    IntPtr addr = IntPtr.Zero;

    foreach (ProcessModule m in proc.Modules)
    {
        if (m.ModuleName == modName)
        {
            addr = m.BaseAddress;
            break;
        }
    }
    return addr;
}

Process proc = Process.GetProcessesByName("whatever")[0];

var modBase = GetModuleBaseAddress(proc, "whatever.exe");

var freecamheight = FindDMAAddy(hProc, (IntPtr)(modBase + 0x14bc410), new int[] { 0x18, 0x40, 0, 0x3c8, 0x48});

Then use VAMemory to read the float at address "freecamheight"

'This Is Bahrain' Event Highlights Inter-Faith Initiative
Posted on 26 January 2018 by Husain T
The King Hamad Global Centre for Inter-Faith Dialogue and Peaceful Co-Existence will be officially inaugurated on the 14th of March 2018 in Bahrain. The inauguration ceremony will be held under the patronage of His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa, said Bahrain Federation of Expatriate Associations (BFEA) Secretary-General Betsy Mathieson.
She made the announcement as she attended a 'This is Bahrain' event held in cooperation with US Simon Wiesenthal Center in the city of Mumbai, India, in the presence of interfaith representatives, academic figures and diplomats from all over the world.
"The campaign was launched to promote Bahrain's cosmopolitan society and the wise philosophy advocated by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa to foster co-existence and tolerance, being the only viable paths to counter extremism and terrorism", she said.
She highlighted three unique projects in the world which epitomize HM the King's vision of co-existence and tolerance – The Bahrain Declaration, the King Hamad Chair for peaceful coexistence at La Sapienza University of Rome and the King Hamad Global Centre for Inter-Faith Dialogue and Peaceful Co-Existence.
The King Hamad Global Centre for Inter-Faith Dialogue and Peaceful Co-Existence was launched in Los Angeles in September 2017 in the Presence of HM the King's Representative for Charity Works and Youth Affairs His Highness Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al-Khalifa and other key figures.
"This is Bahrain has since received positive messages of support from religious leaders, academic personalities, politicians and heads of states who look forward to taking part in the pioneering project- for Bahrain to become the "The Switzerland of the Middle East", said Ms. Mathieson.
She commended years-long deep-rooted relations binding Bahrain and India, adding that religious freedom is a core right enshrined to both countries' constitutions.
She said the diverse Indian community in Bahrain epitomizes the Kingdom's religious liberties and tolerance – adding that the Sikh Temple dates to more than 200 years.
Bahrain's cosmopolitan society comprises the Sikhs, who take part in all religious festivals, alongside the Bahara, the Bahai, Muslims, the Christians, the Buddhist, Jews and representatives of other Indian faiths.
"All faith followers living in Bahrain have the freedom to exercise their religious liberties and build worshipping venues", she said, commending the Indian community's contribution to Bahrain's development, being an integral part of Bahrain "big cosmopolitan and multi-cultural society.
Shura Council Second Deputy Chairperson Jameela Al-Salman extended support from Shura Council President Ali bin Salah Al-Saleh and all members to This is Bahrain.
US Simon Wiesenthal Center Rabbi Abraham Cooper hailed the King of Bahrain Declaration which, he said, was launched by a courageous Arab and Muslim leader, in a region where extremists exploit religion to spark divisions and fuel hatred, violence and terrorism.
"The time has come for all religious leaders to take the initiative and advocate tolerance and peace and help usher in a new path built on mutual respect, not just tolerance, which is the core message of HM the King", he said. He hailed the opening of King Hamad Global Centre for Inter-Faith Dialogue and Peaceful Co-Existence in March 2018, saying that the milestone would epitomize the King's support to tolerance and respect of others.

Noose for a Lady (1952) by Gerald Verner
Back in June, I looked at the second detective novel from the short-lived Simon Gale series, entitled Sorcerer's House (1956), which Gerald Verner unmistakably intended as an homage to one of John Dickson Carr's most celebrated mystery novels, He Who Whispers (1946) – without becoming too derivative or having to lean on a locked room gimmick. Surprisingly, the book actually succeeded in being an obvious tribute that told its own story and that piqued my curiosity about the first title in the series. A mystery novel that has consistently been compared to the work of Agatha Christie.
John Norris, of Pretty Sinister Books, left a comment on my review of Sorcerer's House saying Noose for a Lady (1952) is "very much like a Christie novel" just as Sorcerer's House is "like Carr." I agree. Personally, the book reminded me of Christie's Sad Cypress (1940) and Ordeal by Innocence (1958) with a hint of Cards on the Table (1936).
Noose for a Lady opens with the conclusion of the trial of Margaret Hallam, who has been found guilty of the murder, by poison, of her husband, John Hallam.
John Hallam died at his home, Easton Knoll, from "an overdose of barbitone" administered in a glass of hot whiskey and milk. A mixture prepared by Mrs. Hallam. There were only two set of fingerprints found on the glass, which belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Hallam, but, even more damning, is that she had been taking a preparation of barbitone for insomnia and kept her supply in a locked drawer in her bedroom – she kept the key in her purse. Two days before the murder, Mrs. Hallam had bought a new bottle containing "containing twenty-five five-grain tablets," but the police only found three tablets in the bottle. Mrs. Hallam was unable to account for the missing tablets.
So the jury returns with a unanimous guilty verdict and the judge, who gets the square of black silk draped over his wig, announces that Mrs. Hallam will be "taken from this place to a lawful prison" and "thence to a place of execution" where she'll be "hanged by the neck until you are dead." Mrs. Hallam continues to proclaim her innocence, but the only person who believes her is her stepdaughter, Jill Hallam.
Jill Hallam last hope is enlisting a childhood friend of her stepmother, Simon Gale, who recently returned from Italy and has read "one of the scurrilous rags" for the past eight months. So, when he learns her execution is scheduled to place within a week, Gale thunders "do you mean these blundering, incompetent numskulls are going to hang her?" and is determined to reverse the verdict before that seven day time-limit. But his approach and even personality noticeably differed from his second appearance.
Sorcerer's House was written as a homage to Carr and called Gale in my review a store-brand Dr. Gideon Fell or Sir Henry Merrivale, because he constantly smoked vile, acrid smelling cigarettes rolled from black tobacco and booms odd, classically inspired phrases – such as "by the golden apples of Hesperides" and "by the cloven hoofs of Pan." These Carr-like personality traits were entirely absent here. Gale still has a loud, boorish personality, but now he stands much closer to either Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple than to Dr. Fell or H.M. A detective who hunts for psychological clues in the personalities of the suspects.
Gale is a professional portrait painter and admitted he knew nothing about "as cigar ash, fingerprints, alibis, and tangible clues of that kind," but knew Mrs. Hallam didn't poison her husband because it was "psychologically wrong." Mrs. Hallam has an infernal temper and she would have used a poker or bread-knife, but not poisoning his nightcap with a dose of sleeping pills. So he descends on the village of Wickham Green to find out who, of its inhabitants, fits the psychological profile of "one of the most dangerous types of murderer," the sly poisoner.
This proves to be somewhat of a Herculean task. Not only have they less than a week to find this unknown murderer, but the victim, John Hallam, is revealed as "a mental sadist." Someone who liked to find out people's dirty secrets and torture them, privately, with the threat of exposure and there were quite a few people in the village who were caught in his torturous web. There's a malicious village gossip, Mrs. Ginch, who poses as a pious church lady. A collector of some exquisite pieces of china, Robert Upcott, whose spirit was broken when his wife ran away with another man. An ex-military man, Major Fergusson, who has seen things in the war that keeps him awake at night. A tartar of a woman, Mrs. Langdon-Humphreys, who's always accompanied by her niece, Vanessa Lane. Lastly, there the typical country physician, Doctor Evershed, who's the only one in the village that has threatened Mrs. Ginch with lawsuit for the lies she told behind his back.
Noose for a Lady largely comprises of ferreting the long-held secrets from this closed-circle of suspects, but they're incredibly reticent and Gale compared his task to turning on "a bright light in an old, damp cellar" as "all kinds of nasty, crawling things go scuttling away to their holes" – in order "to get out of the glare." All the while, the clock is rapidly ticking away the days that Mrs. Hallam has left to live.
So I can understand why the story has been described as an Agatha Christie-style novel and Verner took many of his cues directly from some of her detective stories. I already mentioned Sad Cypress and Cards of the Table, but one piece of psychological clueing tore a page directly from Christie's widely praised masterpiece, Death on the Nile (1937). However, the ending betrayed the fact that Verner was not quite in the same league as Christie.
John Norris wrote in his blog-post, entitled "Neglected Detectives – Simon Gale," that "the ending is histrionic in the extreme" with too much "explained away as madness" and made "the entire story seem prosperous." Santosh Iyer was a lot nicer, but his one complaint was "the unnecessary melodrama at the end." I mostly agree with them, but the reason why melodramatic ending didn't work, in my opinion anyway, is the vulgar motive to get rid of John and Margeret Hallam. A more personal and emotional motivation would have made the ending more acceptable. An incident was mentioned that could have been turned into a motive that, psychologically, fitted the murderer.
So, in spite of the slightly botched ending, Noose for a Lady is a well-done, much appreciated attempt at a classic, cleverly-done whodunit, a la Christie, which made for an exciting and intriguing detective story, but Christie would have handled the surprise ending so much better. Just compare Noose for a Lady to Peril at End House (1932) and Lord Edgware Dies (1933), you can't help but to appreciate her lesser-celebrated novels all over again. However, it isn't really fair to compare Verner to Christie and, by his own standards, Noose for a Lady is as good a second-string mystery as Sorcerer's House. Purely recommended for readers who either want to read something like Christie or readers who love obscure detective stories.
A note for the curious: Noose for a Lady began as a radio-play and was adapted in 1953 for the movies. You can watch the trailer here.

Would you say this story bears any parallel to Philip Macdonald's The Noose?
TomCat November 30, 2019 at 11:47 AM
I've not read The Noose, but don't think MacDonald took the traditional route, like Verner did here, with that one.
Kate November 30, 2019 at 1:58 PM
Fair enough. I just wondered as the plot trope of someone on awaiting execution yet didn't do the crime reminded me of Macdonald's book where he has Gethryn return from a Swiss holiday to a case where a woman is asking him to prove her husband innocent of a murder he is going to executed for in a matter of days.
TomCat December 1, 2019 at 10:43 AM
Now you've poked my curiosity! I'll make a note of your comment and shove The Noose up my to-be-read pile, but don't expect it before 2020.
Jonathan O November 30, 2019 at 2:05 PM
Sorry to be pedantic, but I think you mean preposterous, not prosperous (last para but 2).
Thanks. I'll fix it later today. :)

I was recently lent a copy of the third Simon Gale novel, The Snark Was a Boojum, started by Gerald Verner and completed by his son Chris, published by Ramble House. I somehow missed your Sorcerer's House review, but I'm intrigued by the raves that book has received and will certainly keep these in mind.
You have to read Sorcerer's House! Not only was it written as an homage to Carr's He Who Whispers, but reads like a proto-Paul Halter and weirdly anticipates The Madman's Room. You'll find it fascinating!
