VRWG January 2018 The Blue Cap Coup (by Bill Webster)
The Blue Cap Coup
Whilst the police continue to investigate the events of the 8th January 2018 at the Blue Cap Hostelry in Sandiway, I feel it behoves me to offer this version of the truth.
This was to be a special meeting of the august and revered Vale Royal Writers' Group. Some 'person' had suggested that instead of taking up part of the meeting with our usual writing exercise, we should instead perform said exercise in a solitary fashion as 'homework' to be done in advance of the meeting.
There was therefore a degree of tension in the room even before the events as related below began to unfold. People looked from face to face, smiling nervously, trying to ascertain who had been swotty enough to produce something in advance.
The exercise itself was a cracker. Choose a character and then write a short piece featuring them – but with all their normal attributes reversed. For example, Ian Rankin's Rebus would be a devout teetotaller who always did everything strictly by the book.
The meeting started on time as normal, with our beloved Captain Bob welcoming us all before moving on to a discussion of the exercise. And that is when two things happened that suddenly changed the whole course of the evening.
The first thing was that Bob decided that all us bad people should be given ten minutes at the start of the meeting to have a go at the exercise. (Take that, Swots!)
The second thing was that the question was posed as to whether the character in the exercise had to be fictional or not. The decision was that the character did not have to be fictional.
And that is when everything changed, and suddenly there was a nauseating sensation of tumbling from a great height as the faces around the table and the room itself seemed to wink in and out of existence until suddenly it was ten minutes earlier and…
Feet were shifting under the table. Joyce looked meaningfully at Tom who shrugged and made a face, as he was often wont to do. She turned to Bob and coughed, tapping her watch.
Bob looked up from his notebook and smiled. "Oh! Have you got a smartwatch too, Joyce? I must say I do find mine very useful… once I've managed to tap it to wake it up!"
Joyce sighed and shook her head sadly. "It's twenty-to-eight, Bob. Don't you think it's time we…"
Bob clasped his hand to his brow. "Oh, the meeting! I'm so sorry, everyone! I was just composing one of my love poems for the anthology."
Bill leered. "Is that dirty dominatrix woman in it?" he asked.
"Now just stop there, Bill," Bob said primly. "I will have you know that I have left that embarrassing period of my life behind me. I'm more into fluffy little lambs and hosts of daffodils and murmurations of starlings nowadays."
Joyce banged her bottle of Budweiser on the table. "We really ought to start the meeting NOW, Bob!"
Bob took a sip of his sparkling mineral water and daintily wiped his lips with a monogrammed silk handkerchief. "I don't know, Joyce," he mused. He looked enquiringly around the assembled writers. "Does anyone want to have a meeting?"
"Oh, for goodness sake!" thundered Joyce. "What's happened to you, man?"
"I have become a better person," he said.
"Bollocks!" said Joyce, as she wrestled Bob to the floor and applied a strangulation lock worthy of Mick McManus.
"But I wanted to read my poem!" he cried with his last gasp.
I have heard that Joyce has claimed that she was not even at the meeting, and that Tom supports her in this. But then they would say that, wouldn't they?
With the exception of myself, this is clearly a deeply disturbed group of people.
If you think you would fit in, we meet on the first Monday of each month in the Blue Cap in Sandiway, except when it falls on a Bank Holiday when we slide forward a week.
Or back, depending on how we feel.

VRWG September 2017 Unnatural Forces (by Bill Webster)
Photo by tertia van rensburg on Unsplash
Fellow traveller, heed me well. My hair was not always this shocking white. The drool from the corners of my broken mouth and the palsy in my limbs are of recent vintage too, and all bear witness to the warning I will now give to you.
There are some who think writing is a craft, an art which enriches our civilisation. There are others who think it might be a good way to make a fast buck or two. There are those whose working days are behind them and now have the time and opportunity to write that story or poem or novel that was always shouting to be let out. There are perhaps as many reasons for writing as there are writers, and lo, they are legion.
But I wager that few if any aspiring writers aspire to having their wits curdled and their senses scrambled by their pursuit.
There is a tendency for writers and would-be writers to form groups. The general idea is that they can learn from each other, although a cynic might say that what they mainly learn is better excuses for not having done any writing.
One such group is Vale Royal Writers' Group, of which your humble scribe has the misfortune to be the Treasurer, meaning that I am honour-bound to attend most of the meetings.
Otherwise I might have missed that fateful night in September in the year of our Lord 2017, and would still be in possession of what limited faculties I had prior to then.
The principal blame attaches to a woman we will call Joan, for that is her name. Joan had been to a fancy writing course somewhere (or so she said), and she brought us back an exercise that was supposed to help inspire us. She called it the "What-if?" exercise.
So we what-iffed our way round the table.
My contribution was "What if all glass suddenly disappeared?" which I offer only as an example, but not a very good one. Some comedian came up with "What if Donald Trump became President of the United States?" which I thought was taking things a bit far, personally. So you get the idea. So far, so good.
It may have been the Joan woman who started it, but to be fair to her I don't suppose she could reasonably have foreseen the full horror of what she had set in motion.
Nor could Debbie have understood the implications of asking "What if two zombies fell in love?"
Because neither she nor Joan, nor indeed anyone else in the room – with perhaps one exception – could know what was about to happen next.
Matthew smiled, and paused. Everyone was wondering what was coming next. He drew out the suspense, and then just when we thought he maybe wasn't going to say anything at all, out it came…
"What if the characters we created came off the page?"
He smiled again, in a vaguely evil kind of way.
A chill passed through the room but we pressed on, everyone suddenly wanting to get to the end of this exercise even if it meant moving rapidly on to the "News" section where everyone except the swottier types has to come up with a creative way of confessing that they have yet again done no writing whatsoever since the last meeting.
But the damnable exercise had a second part. We now had to write a sort of flash fiction story or map out an idea for something longer based on the "what-if" we had come up with.
I am sure it was not just me, although for the sanity of my colleagues I hope it was thus.
Debbie's zombies loved each other (in a physical sort of sense) and decomposed in the process as they literally knocked lumps off each other. A grotesque idea at the best of times, and one that personally I think any nice girl should be ashamed of. But then that's writers for you.
Matthew smiled as he saw the reactions round the table as each person wondered whether he or she was the only one who could now see disembodied zombie body parts lazily floating around our meeting room in a subtle red blood mist and hear the weird background murmur of the characters bemoaning their lot. And then finally what was left of them sat on either side of Debbie and used the one eye they had left between them to follow our proceedings.
Well, by the end of the exercise we had three times as many 'people' in the room as we had started with, but the newcomers were an unsavoury lot, dragged up from the depths of the depraved minds that had created them.
But the worst was yet to come.
David announced that he was going to read out a piece he had written in the style of some fellow called HP Lovecraft. I assumed with a name like that it was going to be slightly saucy and would reduce the weirdness and tension pervading the room.
It turns out that HP Lovecraft is not a soft-pornographer but a purveyor of scary horror… and David's story out-Lovecrafted the man himself as he conjured up a nightmare in words. But of course Matthew's magic transformed David's fiction into reality within the room. Even our supernatural visitors seemed to be discomfited by the elemental forces which roiled around the room and pressed on our already hard-pressed temples.
I could hardly breathe by the end, and when the meeting was closed there was not the usual dallying. The room cleared quickly, and with audible sighs of relief as each person cleared the portal.
But as Treasurer I had to stay to do the collecting and counting… just me, and the apparitions, and Matthew.
He dropped his shiny £1 coin into my collecting saucer. "That was a good meeting," he said. He looked around the room, and smiled happily.
"Please Matthew," I begged. "Make them go away."
He nodded. "Yes," he said. "We can't leave them here, can we?" He clapped his hands and his body seemed to expand to fill the room. "Begone!" he said. "Go back from whence you came!"
For a moment the room and my legs and my stomach and my brain seemed to be made of squishy-squashy rubber. There was a feeling of abject weakness and nausea but then as soon as I had felt it, it had gone… and there was only me and the meeting room and my saucer of shiny £1 coins and Matthew.
He looked at me anxiously. "Are you feeling alright?" he asked.
"Good," he said. "I'll see you next time."
And then he left me alone in the suddenly normal room, but the damage that you have seen on my features and about the person of my person had already been done and could not be undone.
So heed my warning if you don't want to end up like me. If you aspire to be a writer, by all means join a writers' group. But whatever you do, for the sake of your sanity stay well away from Vale Royal Writers' Group.
I only hope this message reaches you in time.

Great Oaks ……. Joan Dowling 11 April 2016
It was great to see so many faces – old and new – at our April 2016 meeting. One face that was particularly welcome was that of our own Bossy Cow! Her given name is Karen Wheatley – and she was the inspiration behind the formation of the Vale Royal Writers Group.
Way back in 2002, Karen nurtured our first baby steps when some of us joined her Creative Writing class at Sir John Deane's in Northwich. She so inspired us that, at the end of her course, a handful of us joined together to form the VRWG. Initially, it was merely a means of mutual support because we didn't feel ready to join the writing fraternity alone, but still wanted to continue to learn and develop our craft. However ….
Over the last fourteen years, the group has matured and expanded to the point where we are now all grown-up with a committee and an AGM (it's tonight for those who want to be there!) and we have over thirty members. We also have a website and this Blog – which invites and welcomes comments from anyone who feels they have something to say. In addition to our monthly meetings (the first Monday of the month at the Blue Cap, Sandiway) the group has built up a calendar of regular and occasional events. VRWG has also evolved into a friendly and passionate writing community, which supports and celebrates all of the members in their joint and individual efforts and achievements.
As a group, we have been – and still are – very pro-active. In 2007, we produced our first anthology of prose and poetry – followed by a second in 2014. Each year, Tonia organises two highly successful and enjoyable Wordfests at the Blue Cap, while Joyce and Tom run equally popular workshops at the Gladstone Library – again, twice a year. Courtesy of Steph, we are currently involved in holding a series of funded workshops for aspiring writers and we hope to hold more of these in the future.
We also have our lighter side. On a sunny day in August we let our hair down and socialise in Bob and Carol's lovely garden – 'though Bob keeps us 'on-message' by organising fun writing games! An outdoor theatre trip and occasional visits to other writing-related events are also becoming regular features. Recently, a visit to Paphos Writers in Cyprus was enjoyed by everyone who went and a planned writing break in France next month will add to our European ventures!
We even have our own 'preferred' Charity, G.O.E.S. The Gambian Occasional Emergency Support benefits from the proceeds of some of our sales and raffles – and we are constantly surprised and humbled that so much can be done with so little.
Despite the surrounding activity, writing is still at the centre of all that we do. We now have a healthy complement of published writers (novels, poetry and short stories) as well as others who just enjoy sharing the sheer pleasure of writing. Some of the group are prolific writers, some just write when the muse awakens; all are welcomed with the same enthusiasm and treated with the same respect.
Today, we have come a long, long way from Karen's introduction to this demanding, frustrating, rewarding and exhilarating obsession. On a personal note, I am delighted to belong to such a diverse and convivial group of fellow writers (I use the term loosely in my own case!), who often make me laugh and sometimes make me cry. I've made new friends, widened my horizons and learned so many things I didn't know – including a few that made my hair stand on end.
See what you started, Karen? Thank you!
rvwg meeting February
We'll see how this goes; i believe in the indeterminancy approach to writing-
Apologies i don't know the ladies name- read out a 100 about, flash fiction about two lovers in a garden and ending with the male lover burying her/a flower as she had rejected him
Group business was short and Bill and Tonia have full placement for there funded workshops with one person on wating list- well done
Bob who again expertly chaired and said he'd already sold 85 copies of his kindle book, which is a very healthy number
Then there was a hush and the first cords of Rolling Stones- Midnight Rambler- we sat in etiquette pose. Then alternate people stood up then sat down."And you won't go out until the light of morning"-G then Eminor. Then the other people stood up and sat down. Then a phone rang, three people got up to answer it then it stopped. Alternate people sat with hands on legs the others with hands on table. The last strains of the song ended
A gentleman informed us "he was getting there" which is better than anyone else
There where two new people (sorry i'm terrible with names)one writer who even as an English teacher professes writing is not that easy. And someone who works in law and already has an accomplished writing CV. Hope they come back
A lady read out an excellent prose piece about a girls premonitions in which the threads came together in a horrible car crash
Another lady read out a prose piece on a visit to Amsterdam and interest in the residents. And an excellent poem on her daughter contrasting it with a reading from Yeats- A prayer for my daughter
Les read out an interesting and original short prose piece about drinking coffee? at work from a statistical point of view. Which was very good. And he says is one of many
Marion read out a bleak Dickensian piece in response to the exercise on a childhood bedroom set by Jan
Subs where handed over to Bill and i looked furtive and tried to make my escape without paying
The standard of work was high in the convivial settings of the Blue cap Sandiway. And the high numbers of attendees must testify to something. Apologies to items, readings, news i've missed out

A History of English Literature: In a Series of Biographical Sketches
szerző: William Francis Collier
SPECIMEN OF COLERIDGE'S VERSE. The review of Wordsworth's poetry, which may be found in his Biographia Literaria, has been pronounced to be "perhaps the most philosophical piece of criticism extant in the language." Though able to penetrate deep into the mysteries of Shakspere's power over tears and laughter, he had himself no genuine dramatic faculty. His tragedies, Remorse and Zapoyla, contain some noble passages, but we read them with cold, unkindling souls.
FROM THE HYMN AT CHAMOUNI.
Thou first and chief, sole sovran of the vale !
O struggling with the darkness all the night,
And visited all night by troops of stars,
Or when they climb the sky, or when they sink !
Companion of the morning star at dawn,
Thyself earth's rosy star, and of the dawn
Co-herald ! wake, 0 wake, and utter praise !
Who sank thy sunless pillars deep in earth ?
Who filled thy countenance with rosy light?
Who made thee parent of perpetual streams ?
And you, ye five wild torrents fiercely glad !
Who called you forth from night and utter death,
From dark and icy caverns called you forth,
Down those precipitous, black, jagged rocks,
For ever shattered, and the same for ever?
Who gave you your invulnerable life,
Your strength, your speed, your fury, and your joy,
Unceasing thunder and eternal foam ?
And who commanded and the silence came-
Here let the billows stiffen, and have rest?
Ye ice-falls ! ye that from the mountain's brow
Adown enormous ravines slope amain-
Torrents, methinks, that heard a mighty voice,
And stopped at once amid their maddest plunge !
Motionless torrents ! silent cataracts !
Who made you glorious as the gates of heaven
Beneath the keen full moon ? Who bade the sun
Clothe you with rainbows ? Who, with living flowers
Of loveliest blue, spread garlands at your feet?
God ! let the torrents, like a shout of nations,
Answer ! and let the ice-plains echo, God I
God ! sing ye meadow-streams with gladsome voice !
Ye pine groves, with your soft and soul-like sounds!
And they, too, have a voice, yon piles of snow,
And in their perilous fall shall thunder, God!
ROBERT SOUTHEY, a linen draper's son, was born in Wine Street, Bristol, on the 12th of August 1774. After passing through various local seminaries, he went in 1788, at the expense of his uncle, the Reverend Herbert Hill, to the celebrated school of Westminster. From that school he was expelled four years afterwards, owing to the share he had taken in an article against flogging, which appeared in a magazine conducted by the senior boys. Entering Balliol College, Oxford, in 1792, he spent a couple of years in general reading and industrious verse-making, carrying from the University, according to his own account, a knowledge of but two things as the fruit of his imperfect undergraduate coursehow to row and how to swim.
At Oxford he met Coleridge, and these "birds of a feather," both smitten by the widening swell of the French Revolution, rank Republicans in political creed, and Unitarians in religious profession, formed, in conjunction with others, the wild American scheme spoken of in the sketch of Coleridge. Southey, Coleridge, and their friend Lovell, another of the Pantisocrats, became the husbands of three sisters of Bristol; all of whom were gathered in a while under Southey's roof, for Lovell soon died, and Coleridge in his vast dreamings often forgot the real duty of supporting his wife and children.
Already Southey's pen had been busily at work. At college he had composed an epic poem, Joan of Arc, for which that kindly book
448 "THALABA, THE DESTROYER."
seller of Bristol, Cottle, now gave the young husband fifty guineas, A volume of poems, written in conjunction with Lovell under the names of Bion and Moschus, had previously appeared; and a wild, revolutionary piece, Wat Tyler, had been written in a fit of republicanism. The last-named work was surreptitiously published many years afterwards by a bookseller, who wanted to annoy the Laureate, then a celebrated man. Between his two visits (1795 and 1800) to Lisbon, where his uncle was chaplain of the British Factory, he studied law at Gray's Inn, advancing, to use his own expression, "with sufficient rapidity in Blackstone and Madoc." The latter was an epic poem. This divided love could not last, and so Blackstone was at last given up, while Madoc advanced to completion. Before settling down to these temporary and uncongenial studies, he had published Letters from Spain and Portugal, the offspring of his first visit to the Peninsula. In 1801 appeared the first of a series of great poems, intended to illustrate those various systems of mythology, which are so rich in poetic ore. Although its sale was slow, this work did much to raise the author's literary fame. Called Thalaba, the Destroyer, it depicts, in blank-verse of very irregular length but of great music, the perils and ultimate triumph of an Arabian hero, who fights with and conquers the powers of Evil. A splendid moonlight shining on the Eastern sands, with two figures—a sad mother and a weeping boy—wandering in the pale radiance, is the opening picture of a poem which abounds in brilliant painting. For the copyright of this work, which was finished in Portugal, Southey received a hundred guineas. After one more effort towards a permanent settlement in some recognised position—the acceptance of a private secretaryship to the Irish Chancellor of Exchequer, worth £350 a year, which he kept for only six months—he became a literary man 1804 by profession, and in 1804 fixed his residence on the A.D. banks of the Greta near Keswick, in the heart of the Lake country. Coleridge was already there, settled for so long a time as a being ever on the wing could settle; and
SOUTHEY'S HARD WORK. 440
Wordsworth lived about fourteen miles off, at Mount Rydal, near Ambleside. Already his incessant industry had begun, but it now deepened into a life-long habit, until the busy brain wore itself out, and the workman could but wander without purpose and without power among the books, which he had gathered with patient love around the walls of his writing-room. Few events of any note, beyond the publication of his various works, marked the life of this busy author. In a letter to a friend he thus describes a day, and most of his days were similarly spent:"Three pages of history (of Portugal) after breakfast (equivalent to five in small quarto printing); then to transcribe and copy for the press, or to make any selections and biographies (for "Specimens of the British Poets"), or what else suits my humour till dinner-time. From dinner-time till tea I read, write letters, see the newspaper, and very often indulge in a siesta. After tea I go to poetry (he was now writing the "Curse of Kehama"), and correct and re-write and copy till I am tired; and then turn to anything else till supper. And this is my life." No wonder that a friend should say in deep astonishment, on hearing of such incessant toil, "But, Southey, tell me, when do you think?" We postpone for a little a notice of his various works. When Pye died in 1813, Southey received the Laurel which Scott had just declined. In 1821 Oxford conferred on him the degree of LL.D. A pension of £300 a year was granted to him in 1835 by Sir Robert Peel, who had already offered him a baronetcy. His first wife having died in 1837, he contracted a second marriage two years later with the poetess, Caroline Bowles, who was then an elderly lady of fifty-two, and whose four years of married life were given to the tendance of the poor Laureate, already, like the elm-tree pointed to by Swift—himself the saddest example of so terrible an end—beginning to die at the top. During the last three years of Southey's life his over-wrought mind was a total blank. He died at Greta on the 21st of March 1843. The poetry of Southey, though not of the very highest order, (15) 29
displays undoubted genius. His ambition as a poet was great; and few could have made more of the unmanageable themes he selected. Madoc, a Welshman's supposed discovery and conquest of Mexico (1805); The Curse of Kehama, a tale of the Hindoo mythology (1810); and Roderick, Last of the Goths, a blank-verse epic on early Spanish history (1814), are his principal poems, besides those already named. Among many others we may mention The Vision of Judgment, which provoked Byron's terribly sarcastic echo; and his latest efforts in verse, All for Love, and The Pilgrim of Compostella. His Lakist tendencies can best be observed in his minor poems and ballads, of which Lord William, Mary the Maid of the Inn, and The Old Woman of Berkeley are well-known specimens.
" The Curse of Kehama" is his finest poem. In verse of most irregular music, but completely suited to his fantastic theme, he leads us to the terrestrial paradise,—to the realms below the sea, to the heaven of heavens, and, in a sublime passage, through adamantine rock, lit with a furnace glow, into Padalon, the Indian Hades. We follow the strange career of Kehama, a Hindoo rajah, who by penance and self-inflicted torture raises himself to a level with Brahma and Vishnu; we suffer with the poor mortal, who is burdened with the spell of a terrible curse laid on him by the enchanter, and we rejoice in his final deliverance and restoration to his family. Various Hindoo gods, a ghost, a benevolent spirit, and a woman, who receives immortality at the end, are among the dramatis persona. Scenery and costume, situations and sentiments, are alike in keeping with the Oriental nature of the work. But, for all its splendour and all its correctness as a work of art, it is so far removed from the world in which our sympathies lie, that few can fully appreciate this noble poem, and perhaps none can return to it with never-wearied love, as to a play of Shakspere or a novel by Scott.
Southey was a remarkable writer of English prose. His Life of Nelson (1813) is a model of its kind. Clear, polished, and thoroughly unstrained, a language flowed from his practised pen which few English writers have surpassed. A History of Brazil

The site is not much more user friendly and has the ability to change more easily to adapt to changing SEO needs in the future. Plus, Frank's customers now don't need to do the 'pinch and zoom' to view his site like they had to in the past.
The site is currently hosted and domain registered with GoDaddy.
We have used Opie's Computers for out IT solutions for several years. I can't imagine using anyone else at this point. He is the best. We have an automotive repair.


I am working in a simulation project with Epuck with which I use a self made odometry algorithm in a remote Matlab script.
In V-rep simulator , when I set the absolute Z orientation (gamma orientation) of Epuck to zero, Epuck seems to be correctly oriented.
I always obtain a shift in the Z orientation of about 10 deg which accumulates during the simulation.
I have checked the Epuck object properties but everything seems to be correct.
can this be an error in the robot's model itself?

Iridology | Seeds ~ Remember Nature!
The light of the Body is in the eye!
The idea of homeostasis is a vital concept to modern physiology and states that every organ has a functional dependence on every other organ, either directly or indirectly. When homeostasis is disturbed the result is abnormal cellular function and pathology. The interrelationship of all organs and tissues at a physiological level leads to the conclusion that any organ will reflect in some degree the physiology of every other organ. This is fact and accepted for a long time. When organ changes are mild, alterations in physiology can usually only be detected at a cellular level. When changes become more severe, clinical signs of pathology become visible. SO BY OBSERVING ANY TISSUE OF THE BODY, THE OBSERVER WILL KNOW MUCH ABOUT THE OTHER SIMILAR TISSUES OF THE BODY.
BECAUSE THE EYE AND IRIS ARE COMPOSED OF ALL MAJOR TISSUES OF THE BODY, the idea of homeostasis contributes to identifying the eye, iridology as a science of the eye, for its usefulness in assessing body physiology. Iridology is the science and art of analyzing the markings and structures of the iris in the eye. The iris is the portion of the eye that carries the colour. Iris was the goddess of the rainbow in Greek mythology; she was also messenger of the gods in the Iliad.
Under magnification, the iris reveals itself to be a world of minute details, and land of many features. Your constitution is your basic inherent physical and emotional makeup. Knowing what our constitutions are helps us to capitalize on our strengths and compensate for our weaknesses. Presently, as in the past, many health care practitioners have used this form of analysis along with other diagnostic techniques to facilitate a more complete understanding of their patients' health care needs.
HOW IT WORKS: The iris of the eye is the most complex tissue of the body meeting the outside world. It is an extension of the brain, being incredibly endowed with hundreds of thousands of nerve endings, microscopic blood vessels, muscles and other tissues. The iris is connected to every organ and tissue of the body by way of the brain and nervous system. The nerve fibres receive their impulses by way of their connections to the optic nerve, optic thalami and spinal cord. Nerve fibres in the iris respond to changes in the body tissues by manifesting a reflex physiology that corresponds to specific tissue changes and locations. The scientific explanation of exactly how this process works neurologically is still forthcoming. Much research is being devoted to a clearer understanding of these phenomena.
What Can You Expect from Iridology?
Reveals constitutional strength. Are we built strongly or weakly? How well does the body endure stress.
Reveals the health level. What is the health potential?
Reveals inherent strengths and weaknesses. What and where are they?
Reveals nutritional and chemical needs. What elements are lacking and where?
Reveals the quality of nerve force in the body. What is the condition of the nervous system.
Reveals response to treatment, how well the body is healing itself and at what rate.
Reveals the acid/catarrh level in the body. Where are the accumulations?
Reveals the 'whole' body as a unified structure. What is the overall health level?
To book an appointment, please complete and send this form. We will respond to you within 24 hours. Once an appointment date and time is made, we will request/require you complete a Client Assessment Questionnaire. It is a wonderful thing to have clear information about your body and who you are! Congratulations, the journey is beautiful!

Synonymous with Parisian glamour, the Champs-Élysées cuts through one of the city's most exclusive districts, studded with luxury hotels and high-end fashion boutiques. The avenue forms part of a grand 9km-long axis that extends from the Louvre, at the heart of the city, to the Grande Arche de la Défense, in the west. Referred to as the Voie Triomphale, or Triumphal Way, it offers impressive vistas all along its length and incorporates some of the city's most famous landmarks – not only the Champs-Élysées but also the Tuileries gardens, place de la Concorde, and the Arc de Triomphe. The whole ensemble is so regular it looks as though it was laid out by a single town planner rather than by successive kings, emperors and presidents, all keen to add their stamp and promote French power and prestige.


To concatenate is to join one or more fields together in Microsoft Access. You may have the occassion to do this on a Microsoft Access form, report or query.
The requirement is Combining Firstname (the first letter), Lastname (the whole part of the lastname) and CustomerID (the whole ID) into 1 Field, Username.
You will need to have [ ] around the field names i.e.
If we look closer at the question, you will notice the questioner just wants the first letter from the FirstName field and to join this letter with the whole of the LastName and CustomerID fields. We would therefore need to also use the Left function.
Not what you are looking for, then you may wish to try how to concatenate fields in a combo box.

Horns are growing on young people's skulls. Phone use is to blame, research suggests.
Courtesy of Scientific Reports via Washington Post
Researchers at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, have documented the prevalence of bone spurs at the back of the skull among young adults.
Isaac Stanley-Becker, The Washington Post • June 20, 2019 12:02 pm
We already know mobile technology has transformed the way we live. What we have not yet grasped is the way the tiny machines in front of us are remolding our skeletons.

Mobile technology has transformed the way we live – how we read, work, communicate, shop and date. But we already know this.
What we have not yet grasped is the way the tiny machines in front of us are remolding our skeletons, possibly altering not just the behaviors we exhibit but the bodies we inhabit.
New research in biomechanics suggests that young people are developing hornlike spikes at the back of their skulls – bone spurs caused by the forward tilt of the head, which shifts weight from the spine to the muscles at the back of the head, causing bone growth in the connecting tendons and ligaments. The weight transfer that causes the buildup can be compared to the way the skin thickens into a callus as a response to pressure or abrasion.
The result is a hook or hornlike feature jutting out from the skull, just above the neck.
In academic papers, a pair of researchers at the University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, argues that the prevalence of the bone growth in younger adults points to shifting body posture brought about by the use of modern technology. They say smartphones and other handheld devices are contorting the human form, requiring users to bend their heads forward to make sense of what's happening on the miniature screens.
The researchers said their discovery marks the first documentation of a physiological or skeletal adaptation to the penetration of advanced technology into everyday life.
Health experts warn of "text neck," and doctors have begun treating "texting thumb," which is not a clearly defined condition but bears resemblance to carpal tunnel syndrome. But prior research has not linked phone use to bone-deep changes in the body.
"An important question is what the future holds for the young adult populations in our study, when development of a degenerative process is evident in such an early stage of their lives?" ask the authors in their most recent paper, published in Nature Research's peer-reviewed, open access Scientific Reports. The study came out last year but has received fresh attention following the publication last week of a BBC story that considers, "How modern life is transforming the human skeleton."
Since then, the unusual formations have captured the attention of Australian media, and have variously been dubbed "head horns," "phone bones," "spikes" or "weird bumps."
Each is a fitting description, said David Shahar, the paper's first author, a chiropractor who recently completed a PhD in biomechanics at Sunshine Coast.
"That is up to anyone's imagination," he told The Washington Post. "You may say it looks like a bird's beak, a horn, a hook."
However it is designated, Shahar said, the formation is a sign of a serious deformity in posture that can cause chronic headaches and pain in the upper back and neck.
Part of what was striking about their findings, he said, was the size of the bone spurs, which are thought to be large if they measure 3 or 5 millimeters in length. An outgrowth was factored in to their research only if it measured 10 millimeters, or about two-fifths of an inch.
The danger is not the head horn itself, said Mark Sayers, an associate professor of biomechanics at Sunshine Coast who served as Shahar's supervisor and co-author. Rather, the formation is a "portent of something nasty going on elsewhere, a sign that the head and neck are not in the proper configuration," he told The Washington Post.
Their work began about three years ago with a pile of neck X-rays taken in Queensland. The images captured part of the skull, including the area where the bony projections, called enthesophytes, form at the back of the head.
Contrary to conventional understanding of the hornlike structures, which have been thought to crop up rarely and mainly among older people suffering from prolonged strain, Shahar noticed that they appeared prominently on X-rays of younger subjects, including those who were showing no obvious symptoms.
The pair's first paper, published in the Journal of Anatomy in 2016, enlisted a sample of 218 X-rays, of subjects ages 18 to 30, to suggest that the bone growth could be observed in 41 percent of young adults, much more than previously thought. The feature was more prevalent among men than among women.
The effect – known as enlarged external occipital protuberance – used to be so uncommon, Sayers said, that one of its early observers, toward the end of the 19th century, objected to its title, arguing that there was no real protrusion.
That's no longer the case.
Another paper, published in Clinical Biomechanics in the spring of 2018, used a case study involving four teenagers to argue that the head horns were not caused by genetic factors or inflammation, pointing instead to the mechanical load on muscles in the skull and neck.
And the Scientific Reports paper, published the month before, zoomed out to consider a sample of 1,200 X-rays of subjects in Queensland, ages 18 to 86. The researchers found that the size of the bone growth, present in 33 percent of the population, actually decreased with age. That discovery was in stark contrast to existing scientific understanding, which had long held that the slow, degenerative process occurred with aging.
They found instead that the bone spurs were larger and more common among young people. To understand what was driving the effect, they looked to recent developments – circumstances over the last 10 or 20 years altering how young people hold their bodies.
"These formations take a long time to develop, so that means that those individuals who suffer from them probably have been stressing that area since early childhood," Shahar explained.
The sort of strain required for bone to infiltrate the tendon pointed him to handheld devices that bring the head forward and down, requiring the use of muscles at the back of the skull to prevent the head from falling to the chest. "What happens with technology?" he said. "People are more sedentary; they put their head forward, to look at their devices. That requires an adaptive process to spread the load."
That the bone growth develops over a long period of time suggests that sustained improvement in posture can stop it short and even ward off its associated effects.
The answer is not necessarily swearing off technology, Sayers said. At least, there are less drastic interventions.
"What we need are coping mechanisms that reflect how important technology has become in our lives," he said.
Shahar is pressing people to become as regimented about posture as they became about dental hygiene in the 1970s, when personal care came to involve brushing and flossing every day. Schools should teach simple posture strategies, he said. Everyone who uses technology during the day should get used to recalibrating their posture at night.
As motivation, he suggested reaching a hand around to the lower rear of the skull. Those who have the hornlike feature likely can feel it.

I decided to create this guide to support folks with selecting a duck breed greatest for them. I am nonetheless understanding my breeds and never propose to be an professional on all of them, so I may be adding to this report as I learn a lot more. This is by no implies a complete guide to all domestic duck breeds as there are dozens and dozens to select from. This is a guide to the most well-known ducks a single would see most typically on farms and in backyards. I program to add more detailed data on more duck breeds quickly.
Prairie dogs. Prairie dogs are normally only born in the spring. They are affectionate pets that can be harness-educated. They are social, so the owner should spend some time with them. The cage should be adequately-sized. The prairie dog's diet regime is straightforward and consists of fresh hay, grasses, pellets, fruits, and vegetables. The Oxbow brand of prairie dog meals is excellent. In terms of aggressive tendencies, this species might have the most troubles in that area when it comes to strangers (folks the animal hasn't been raised with). Be conscious of their powerful territorial instincts.
One particular way is to just hold the chicken in a playpen when not in its cage. Some folks use old infant playpens, but other people get puppy playpens. Setting these playpens up in the family space permits interaction with the chicken, but tends to make it hard for the chicken to truly be component of the household and get cuddles plus most chickens will start jumping out eventually.

African Grey parrots enjoy to talk and play. They have an wonderful mimicry that will sound just like you if you talk to it a lot. They will also develop speech patterns of the other members in the house and may possibly imitate other pets as nicely. Just maintain performing what you do and never worry about what other individuals feel. Those pets are a lifeline. Your compassion is boundless. If much more people had the very same compassion, there would be far fewer difficulties in this globe.

In an emergency, you may have to take your birds with you. Speak with your veterinarian or local pet retailer about particular food dispensers that regulate the amount of meals a bird is offered. Make positive that the bird is caged and the cage is covered by a thin cloth or sheet to give safety and filtered light. The incident is being investigated by the Oregon State Police and USFWS. The wolf's carcass is at the National Forensics Laboratory for a necropsy.


I love helping people buy cars. From experience, I found most people do not understand the car buying process. I find it very rewarding when I make a terrifying experience into an enjoyable one. I started my automotive career straight out of college and never looked back. I worked at many dealerships before I found my home at Mastria Kia. Mastria is the only dealership I have worked for when it is all about the customer. I am very lucky to be a part of such a great team. So come down and see for yourself!
Hi there! I am a graduate of Wentworth Institute with a degree in business. I apply my knowledge, industry experience and relentless energy to assist clients find their perfect vehicle. I truly enjoy meeting new people and helping them find the best vehicle that works for their budget. I enjoy working at Mastria where they value customers experience first.
I have been a local resident my whole life. I still remember my father telling me about how he bought his first car from Mastria and even back then he had a great experience. I enjoy working for a company that has such a good reputation and I am proud to be a part of the Mastria family!
On my free time, I enjoy anything that has to do with being outdoors. Hiking, camping, fishing, etc. I also enjoy spending time with my family and my animals.
I started my career in the automotive business in late 2014. Until Mastria acquired the Kia store, I was working in the Business Development Center. I have always wanted to go on the Sales floor and Mastria made that possible for me.


ELLESMERE Port were back with a bang on Saturday!
Returning to action following a two-week break due to the cold snap, Mark Davies' men showed no signs of ring rust as they swept past Congleton in a 10-try Cheshire Plate blitz.
The hosts were 12-0 up after 10 minutes thanks to tries from Paul Watkinson and Rob Finlay James Callaghan added a conversion after Elliot Edwards missed the first.
It was one-way traffic and Port increased the score with tries from fullback Ant Jones (2) and back row veteran Andy Dibble, Callaghan kicking one conversion.
Congleton managed one consolation score, but it was Port's day and they raced into a 46-5 lead thanks to tries from centre Edwards, veteran prop Ian Morris and back row Jerry Phillip.
Unconverted tries by Pete Doyle and Callaghan rounded off en excellent performance by the home side, who would have won by many more had they kicked all their conversions.
Port's 2nd team lost at Liverpool Collegiate but the 3rds beat Mold 3rds 7-0.
This Saturday, the first team host Crewe & Nantwich, and the 2nds are away at Wirral.

Further KinerjaPay Corp. Update Regarding Its New Equity Funding
JAKARTA, Indonesia, March 18, 2019 — KinerjaPay Corp, a Delaware corporation, (OTCQB: KPAY) (the "Company" or "KPAY"), a Digital Payment and e-Commerce Platform, today announced further progress to securing the subscription proceeds of $200 million in equity funding from Indonesian-based PT. Investa Wahana Development / PT. Investa Wijaya Pembangunan (the "Wahana Group"). As previously reported in the Company's Form 8-K filed on January 8, 2019, the Company entered into a binding commitment with Wahana Group for the issuance and sale of $200 million of the Company's newly authorized shares of Series F and Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") for $200 million, which Preferred Stock is convertible at $1.80 per share and subject to a 9.99% beneficial ownership limitation provision.
The Company has received Wahana Group's firm and continuing commitment to closing their funding to KPAY in a timely manner. The initial delay since the Company reported the Wahana Group's subscription for the Preferred Stock was due to the complexity of the United States federal banking regulations in establishing a new U.S. banking relationship to accept a SWIFT for the $200 million in funding from an Indonesian-based investor.
With the close assistance of the Wahana Group, Mr. Edwin Ng, our CEO and Chairman, stated, "the Company has agreed to engage the services of a professional banking consultant who has recommended together with the Wahana Group, that the Company utilize KPAY's existing banking relationships in Indonesia. To that end, KPAY has submitted all documents necessary to the Investor's bank to establish a credit line to facilitate receipt of the $200 million investment."
The Company has confirmed that the entire process to close the funding should be completed within the next 30 days or sooner, based upon communications between the institution issuing the Bank Instrument and the Beneficiary Bank's officers. Edwin Ng, the Company's Chairman & CEO, commented: "We are now pleased with the progress taking place, after unanticipated delays in receiving the Wahana Group's investment of $200 million, and we continue to work very closely with the Wahana Group to conclude this equity funding. While it has taken longer than our original estimated time to close the transaction and receive the subscription proceeds, we are now moving closer to finalize receipt of the investment from Wahana Group."
Mr. Ng further stated, "I believe that 2019 will be a transformative year for KPAY as we launch our P2P platform in Indonesia and continue to invest in high growth areas in one of the world's fastest growing economies."
Mr. Rio Chandranegara, Director of Business Development of Wahana Group's PT. Investa Wahana Propertindo entity, stated: "Wahana Group is committed to closing its subscription for the Preferred Stock by accessing several asset bases and resources owned by Wahana Group and is further committed to a long term and mutually beneficial relationship as a strategic partner and shareholder of KPAY."

Gallery: Inside The Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation Of America
| 12 October, 2017 at 00:01
This year marks the single largest growth of new vehicle sales in a decade. In fact, the total new vehicle sales total of 67,500-plus units, is in par with sales from 10 years ago. Take into account the dramatic increase in alternative materials, additional accessories and features and the new segments reacting a broader populace, and today's personal watercraft industry is light years ahead of itself less than a dozen years ago. For Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA, who experienced a 14-percent growth over last year's sales, and picked up additional market share (Yamaha tails Sea-Doo by 7-percent total market share), and the Georgia-based manufacturer has quite a bit to be happy about.
A large portion of the brand's success can clearly be traced to its commitments to excellence in its assembly process. While the sales and marketing division resides in Kennesaw, the YMMC (Yamaha Motor Manufacturing Corporation Of America) assembly plant is found several miles southwest of Atlanta in Newnan. There, the facility's 1.35-million square feet of manufacturing and logistics buildings occupy an impressive 280 acres, including six buildings a test and evaluation course for ATVs, Side-by-Sides (SxS) and golf carts, as well as a test lake. Over 1,400 employees punch in every day, many working alternating shifts to keep manufacturing running 24-hours during peak season.
Above: Everything begins with these small plastic nodules. Basic raw materials are compression molded into hoods, fairings and other deck components.
Above: Every deck begins as multiple sheets layered on a table before entering the compression mold. After 4 minutes and several hundred degrees, a finished deck is moved into waterjet cabinet where automated arms spray a laser-like stream of water, cutting out the engine compartment, front storage bin access and other ports and holes.
Above: Simultaneously, hulls are being produced and composited with the inner hull liners.
The doors to YMMC were first opened in 1988 beginning with the brand's golf cart segment, with WaveRunner production following shortly thereafter. Eventually, ATV and ROV (SxS) came to occupy the second assembly building. Since that time, the YMMC has reached several major milestones including reaching 2 million vehicles produced in 2007, and 3 million in 2013. Additionally, YMMC has produced 1 million golf carts in 2015 and 1 million ATVs in 2016. Today, YMMC produces 210 units a day with a stellar 97.5-percent passing initial inspection. And for 2018, YMMC is projected to build its 1 millionth PWC around April (which is most likely going to become a permanent fixture in the Yamaha showroom).
Drawing heavily from its Japanese tradition, YMMC strives to create "Kando", a Japanese word for "simultaneous feelings of deep satisfaction and intense excitement when people experience Yamaha's exceptional value." The decision to move product development and full-time production to Georgia was multi-faceted: First, 70-percent of Yamaha's market is in North America, making its sales and marketing, design engineering and manufacturing a highly collaborative effort. Additionally, YMMC maintains a strong culture of continuous improvement through organizing small group team projects to seek out and propose resolutions to streamline production and improve worker efficiency. These efforts have worked to prevent injuries, reduce water use, energy, air emissions and waste.
Above: Holes are drilled into the inner hull liner where an expanding chemical foam is pumped in. The expansion foam fills the sandwiched layers. The recently filled hulls are taken to the assembly line where each hull is prepped with a DA sander (where needed) and fitted with major mounting hardware.
Above: Hulls are fitted with motor mounts, mounting brackets, the pump, shaft and initial plumbing before receiving the complete powertrain. The driveshaft is connected to the flywheel and gas tank plumbed to the fuel rail. The models we followed this day were 2018 TR-1 powered EX Deluxe units.
Above left: The final steps before combining the assembled hull to the deck include installing the complete exhaust system and finalizing some necessary wiring. Above right: A pallet of TR-1 EX engines sit at the ready.
While Yamaha Marine engines are world-renowned for dependability and performance, YMMC has committed to equally high quality fabrication and assembly processes, resulting in superior fit-and-finish. Inside of the first assembly plant, Yamaha demonstrated its compression molding and US Steel tooling, all of which results in laser-measured accuracy. The low failure rate results in less lost inventory and superior hull and deck production numbers. In fact, the level of extensive error-proofing and safety controls borders on neurotic, but accounts for superior dependability and performance. While not fully automated, the production and assembly process meticulously proofed and evaluated, with an eye pointed towards continual improvement and streamlining.
This effort has equated for over $2 million dollars in improvements. When Yamaha sought to improve its hull material process, it partnered with Georgia Tech Research Institute to develop NanoXcel (and later its NanoXcel2). Georgia Tech was the only such university who was exploring nanotechnology and even maintained a "Nano Lab" wherein hours of testing and development was poured into the creation of the SMC vs. FMC process that would later become synonymous with Yamaha WaveRunners. In addition to its pursuit of innovation, YMMC also sought out ways to give to the community. In June 2016, YMMC installed its Solar Panel System, a 150kW rooftop array approved by the Georgia Power & Coweta County, helping reduce the plant's energy draw on the municipal grid.
Above: All decks are lowered on a conveyor system, where they are surface-prepped prior to painting. Technicians pass over the scuffed and sanded deck surface to remove any contaminants. Next, automotive-grade automated painting arms pass over every inch of the EX deck coating it in uniform passes. Guns nozzles are exchanged and lines purged between and color change.
Above left: After painting (and curing), each deck is taken to the inspection room where a technician reviews the surface and final application before passing it off or returning it to be repainted. Above right: Approved decks are lined up ready for final assembly.
Above: Painted decks ride on a suspended track system, allowing technicians to rotate the deck on a rotisserie. Here ventilation hoses are riveted as well as few other mounting items before the deck and hull are glued together.
YMMC is also reducing its impact on the environment and supporting community programs through its Environmental Recycling Program, an Environmental Scholarships program for employee's children (students receive a $2,500 Yamaha Motor Environmental Sponsored College Scholarship), and a local community stream clean-up project. Lastly, YMMC has donated vehicles for local emergency response and rescue to provide support for the local community, including WaveRunners for the Coweta County Fire Department to use for Chattahoochee River rescues and local community public events, as well as the Peachtree City Police Department being given donated ATVs for its multi-use path patrol program.
Add to that employee efforts to raise drives school supplied, food and toys for families during the holidays, and YMMC is not just producing some stellar powersports products but quality people and significant change to those in the surrounding areas. The tour of the plant itself was an eye-opening experience but pales in comparison to the revelation of the concerted endeavors the company makes to improve the lives of its employees and neighbors.
Above: The EX's top deck, hood and steering system is installed before being lowered into a water tank for leak testing. When passed, the assembled WaveRunner is transferred to a second assembly line for final installation and graphics.
Above: Surprisingly, all graphics are hand-installed. On this line, bond rails and other finishing items are installed prior to final inspections and crating.
Above left: WaveRunner graphics are squeegeed to remove any bubbles or wrinkles before drying. Above right: Finally, all finished WaveRunners are personally approved by Scott "Hollywood" Watkins before being shipped to the distribution center. OK, not by Scott but they are finally approved before leaving YMMC.

Good story, but Georgia Tech had nothing to do with the development of the NanoXcel material. It was conceived by Yamaha engineering staff and first compounded by a SMC compounder in Indiana, and then reformulated and moved to a compounder in Ohio. I know this because I am the "backwoods country hick" that conceived the material and worked for years with the compounder to make it happen, even when nobody thought it was possible.

Well, your story directly conflicts with what the entire PWC media was told directly from Scott Watkins and the YMMC Plant Manager, so it's your word against theirs.

Reddit and the Boston Marathon bombings: How the site reckoned with its own power.
One year after turning up false clues in the Boston-bombing manhunt, the site's users have done some soul-searching.
One year ago, after the Boston Marathon bombings, Reddit users created the thread r/findbostonbombers. The idea was to organize the theories and speculations already arising among users drawn to the Reddit's r/news thread, which provided fast-updating (and largely accurate) information about the event and investigation. The aftermath has inspired a great deal of soul-searching in a community intimate enough that most posts refer to Reddit as "we" or "us" but vast enough to include 6 percent of adult American Internet users.
The original moderators and users of r/findbostonbombers (which has since been made private) attempted to enforce strict rules, which prohibited posting personal information, limited the spread of information beyond the subreddit, and encouraged users to leave law enforcement to professionals. But as the activities of the subreddit, or sub, attracted media attention and an influx of new users, things quickly spiraled out of the control of the handful of volunteer moderators. After circulating on the thread, a picture of Boston-area teenager Salaheddin Barhoum and 24-year-old grad student Yassine Zaimi appeared on the cover of the New York Post (headline: "BAG MEN"). Most infamously, the crowdsourced investigation wrongly pinpointed the missing—and, it turned out, deceased—Brown University student Sunil Tripathi as one of the bombers.
The New York Times Magazine and, more concisely, Slate's Will Oremus both produced excellent analyses of the maelstrom of unsourced information that spread Tripathi's name in connection with the bombings. It required the eagerness of a large group of anonymous commenters to discuss unsupported speculation within the confines of Reddit. But it also required complicit reporters, including BuzzFeed's Andrew Kaczynski and NBC News' Luke Russert, to spread that same unsourced information, backed with their IRL journalistic credibility.
And it seems Reddit has learned a lot. Subreddits devoted to the ongoing mystery around MH370 mostly eschew promoting speculation among users. The only media interest in the sub's activities resulted, unfortunately for Reddit, when the eminently unreliable Courtney Love received attention for tweeting suspicious photos that had been discussed on the site (which only further tarnished any flow of information from anonymous boards to cable broadcasts). A subreddit called "r/findnavyyardshooters"—created in the aftermath of the September 2013 Washington Navy Yard shooting—was almost immediately shuttered by the site's administrators.
Martin also hopes we're asking these same questions of the journalists who tweeted Tripathi's name. As Oremus pointed out in his July Slate piece, the real lesson here is to be "wary of each platform's pitfalls." However ill-advised it may be to promote this kind of anonymous brainstorming of culprits after a national tragedy, the real damage was only done when the sub's internal rules—prohibiting posting personal information or sharing content outside the sub—were broken. A few prominent media figures were then essential in amplifying infractions and speculation into full-blown national coverage.
Redditors have realized that their theoretically anonymous voices can and will be the subject of serious consideration from outside observers. Though this porous relationship between content, consumption, and conjecture is still far from perfect, r/findbostonbombers provided a wake-up call to both sides of the /r/ to take their respective uses of the medium more seriously. It's not really fair to hold up a group of people having a speculative conversation among themselves to the same level of responsibility as journalists. But if Reddit continues to exert such a massive influence over what becomes popular and visible online, it's a responsibility they'll continue to bear.
I could end this piece with a Spider-Man reference that surely most of us redditors will recognize—"With great power comes great responsibility"—but instead I'll include the entirety of posts in the r/findmh370 subreddit, which nicely summarizes where Reddit stands.
