And now for the post I wish I could have stumbled across on someone else's blog some time early last fall:
Here, for your convenience, in one single, centralized location, I have gathered everything I learned over the three months (two in preparation, one in actual outreach) that I invested in seeking representation. As I mentioned in my previous post, I can now happily say that I am one of the fortunate ones, having recently signed with a literary agent, and while luck no doubt played its role – so, I sincerely hope, did the quality of my work – none of it would have mattered if I hadn't figured out whom to contact, and how to go about it. That is what this entry is about. For those of you who are not writers yourselves, this may seem like something of a boring topic (unless of course you are the tinkering type who likes to understand how things work, in which case it may be of interest, and may even provide useful analogs to your own vocation/avocation), but for any aspiring authors in the audience… trust me, this piece may be a bit long, but it's one you definitely want to read.
Before I discuss the hows of the process, however, let's take a brief moment to talk about the whens. At what point is it time to start looking for a literary agent? The harsh truth of the matter is that if you're a first-time novelist like myself, you shouldn't even think about contacting agents until you have produced a finished manuscript. And when I say that,
I mean a polished, beta-read, proofread, good-as-you-can-make-it, final draft of a book – no ifs, ands or buts. To any of you who may be just starting out, this may sound like a bit of an undertaking. And I hate to break it to you, but… it is. If you don't feel a true pull to begin working on a manuscript simply for its own sake, you should probably reconsider the idea. Writing a novel is a long and arduous exercise even when you love the craft, and there is absolutely no guarantee you'll receive any kind of reward at the end; as a consequence, if you don't have a story inside bursting to come out, my advice is that you hold off on sitting down at the keyboard until you do.
Ah, but you are a fellow soul afflicted with that irresistible need, you say!
Well then, here is why you need a completed draft before you can begin your outreach: even though literary agencies typically request that you submit no more than the first three chapters of your work (note that most actually ask for far less), if you are lucky enough to grab an agent's attention with your query, the next step will be to provide the finished product. And if you don't have it ready to produce upon request, you will lose both that individual's interest and goodwill. At which point you will be done with that particular agent for the foreseeable future. Obviously, not a result you want.
Regarding non-fiction, while it's not my field, I have spoken to enough people in the industry and perused enough agency websites to know that here the rules are a bit different: if you have some kind of verifiable, established credibility as an expert on a given subject, you can solicit agents with just the first few chapters (to prove you have the wordsmithing chops) and a treatment describing where you intend to take the project. Of course, I should mention that this only applies to your particular area of expertise; if you are a long-standing professor of 19th century German literature at a prestigious university, four chapters plus a treatment are not going to convince an agent to take on your proposal for a book describing the best practices of startup finance, no matter how good your writing.
(Short stories? Poetry? These I know even less about, but I can only imagine it would be a good idea to have a backlog of completed works – likely significantly more than will make it into your first volume – before you begin your outreach.)
So, now that we have that out of the way, on to the tools and techniques I recommend. From my perspective, they are best grouped into four general categories, summarized by the easy-to-remember acronym, ORCS. (Fitting for a fantasy author, right?) They are:
- Organize & optimize
- Research & review
- Craft & contact
- Socialize & social-ize.
Organize & Optimize
Once you have a completed manuscript, you still have a fair bit of preparatory work you should do before you can start querying. To begin with, I highly recommend that you sign up for an account at QueryTracker to coordinate your campaign. The site provides an extremely comprehensive database of nearly every active literary agent in the U.S., U.K., and Canada (I believe it is the best out there, but you should be aware that, due to the fragmentation in the industry and the fact that agents are constantly entering and leaving the field, no list is 100% complete), as well as wonderfully intuitive tools for organizing,
researching, tracking, and analyzing your querying efforts. Also, the other members are very good about sharing their experiences, thus providing you with anecdotal data to go along with the statistical (while at the same time reminding you that you're not alone out there). Best of all, the service even offers a free account to get started!
NOTE: Though the majority of the services I mention in this post are free to use, I strongly suggest you sign up for some version of premium account (most of which are not very expensive) for those you do decide to employ. These people work very hard to provide you with tools that make the incredibly painful process of querying that much easier; the least you can do is give them a few dollars to reward them for their efforts (and allow them to keep fighting the good fight on your behalf).
Unfortunately, setting up an account to organize your search is by far the easiest aspect of preparing to query; next, you'll need to draft the two additional documents necessary for your outreach (you didn't think you could simply send in your manuscript with a "hey, how are you?" and a return email address, did you?) – to wit, the synopsis and the query letter.
If querying is ever writer's least favorite subject, composing the synopsis and query letter are, in turn, every writer's least favorite elements of said subject. The idea of boiling your masterpiece of five years' work into a pithy little summary is understandably stomach-turning, and if you wanted to write product pitches, you would've become a copywriter, not a fiction writer. But remember what I've posted several times elsewhere: literary agents receive scores, if not hundreds, of submissions each day; much as they might like to read every manuscript in its entirety, they simply do not have the time. Consequently, they need tools to help them triage which books they should read through to completion, and which they should reject up front. That's where these two documents come into play.
The synopsis is exactly what it sounds like: a high-level overview that describes your novel from start to finish. In years past, it appears that agents and editors (up until a decade or so ago you could still solicit publishers directly)* would accept synopses as long as 10-12 pages, and as a result they were no doubt easier (though still extremely tedious) to draft: you simply condensed each chapter into a paragraph, thus producing a complete, highly detailed summary of the entire plot. Now, however, agents invariably request 1-2 pages, and no more. This can be incredibly difficult to do, especially in a genre like fantasy, which tends to be plot-heavy and feature a plethora of characters. So, how do you go about it? Iteration, my friends, iteration. You run through multiple drafts, trimming a little more each time, until you have finally brought the document down to the proper length. Yes, you'll wind up excising all but the most central characters, and yes, many of your most delicious scenes will not receive mention, but if you go through the process diligently – and with much wincing – it can be done. In my case, I started with a traditional nine-page synopsis and went through multiple revisions until I got it down to two pages exactly. (You can find the initial draft here, and the final product here. By the way, I should mention that, as much as I despised the bloody thing while I was writing it, in the end my synopsis actually served as a fairly useful editing tool, as it helped me identify several overly-long chapters that needed to be chopped into two, or even three, smaller sections in order to improve the novel's pacing.)
NOTE: Do not get cute and hold back the ending out of some misplaced desire to generate a feeling of suspense in the literary agents you're querying in the hopes that this will prompt them to want to read your full manuscript. Once again, remember they see hundreds of synopses each week, and once again, remember that their primary goal in reviewing a submission is to make a determination as to whether or not they think they can sell the book. You will only anger them by holding back the denouement.
The query letter, on the other hand, is a tool specific to the publishing industry: a cover letter similar to what you might include with a resume when seeking a job, except instead of selling yourself, you're selling your book. There are many specific dos and don'ts in writing query letters, and as I did my own prep work I discovered quite a few sites that offered good examples/instruction (here is one, here is another, and there are many, many more out there if you search "successful query letter" or the like), so I won't repeat the excellent words of wisdom others have already provided. Read those sites, do a bit of sleuthing yourself – and then base your own query letter on what worked best for you. The only kernel of advice I'll add is as follows: don't get so caught up in sounding like someone else's letter, or following the prescribed form, that you lose your own voice. Sure, there are key components that you need to include, but there's no magic formula; the most important aspect of any query letter is that it conveys your passion for, and paints a compelling picture of, your book. (If you're curious, here is what worked for me. And also what didn't.)
Got a synopsis and a query letter? Good! Once again, I'm afraid I must be the bearer of bad news: unfortunately you're still not done with this phase. These two documents are the first impressions that you'll make on the vast majority of literary agents you query, and as such they require as much review and editing as any chapter in your manuscript. Write them, set them aside, and then look at them again; get someone else to review them and offer comments; edit each one multiple times until they both sparkle (and are error-free). You don't necessarily need to take a week preparing each one, but if you've written both your synopsis and your query letter in the space of a single morning, and then fired them off to a dozen agents that same afternoon, I'm telling you now: they weren't as good as they could – or should – have been.
Research & Review
So, you've now got your manuscript, a tool for managing your campaign, and the two marketing documents you'll need. But how do you go about finding these literary agents? Well, if you've already looked at QueryTracker, then you know it is a highly valuable tool for research as well as organization – not only does it provide a database of the names, agencies, preferred genres, client lists, response rates, response times, and tons of other important information about each agent, it also contains links to many of the various other places you can read more detailed information on them all. BUT, even if you use the site's various filters to narrow your search, that would still leave you with hundreds of agents to research (in my case, filtering for only those interested in fantasy took the potential pool from 1,407 potential leads down to 205). As a result, I don't recommend that you start your research on QueryTracker – you are going to want to use it, no doubt, but better to cull your list a bit before you dig in to the meaty trove of data that the site offers.
If you research the subject of researching (how meta!), you'll read varying advice on how to choose the right literary agent: in any given genre, you should 1) check who reps the authors you like, or 2) check who reps the authors who write most like you do, or 3) check who reps the bestselling authors, or 4) check for new agents hungry to make their mark. In my opinion, following any one of these approaches exclusively is a mistake; rather, I think the best solution is to mix and match. After all, you don't really want the list of agents who rep the authors you like/bestsellers/whatever – you want the list that best fits you and your book.
In my case, I knew I was taking on a bit of a challenge with my return to the traditional fantasy epic, and – rightly or wrongly – I was confident in the quality of my prose, so I decided to proceed as follows:
- start with the list of the most successful authors in my genre;
- determine which agents represented them;
- eliminate those agents whose clients' work was obviously very different from mine (i.e. those that were more Twilight than Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn);
- expand the list to include the agents who repped some of the long-time, well-respected fantasy authors who may not have had a recent bestseller.
My thought process in pursuing this approach was that if I could attract a leading agent with the quality of my manuscript, then his/her advocacy would be helpful (instrumental?) in bucking the prevailing trend (bias?) against the traditional fantasy epic when it came time to approach prospective publishers. (Failing that, Plan B would have been do an about-face and focus on the younger agents hoping that hunger, hard work, and enthusiasm might serve in place of connections, standing, and experience.) Of course, this was my particular thinking for my particular novel; the same may not apply to you/yours. I share it, because hopefully it is at least representative of how to go about developing a strategy of your own.
So, now that I had a plan of attack, next came the hard part: putting it into practice. Compiling my list of prospects was a LOT harder than you might imagine. I couldn't just google "who are the best agents for my fantasy novel" and get the results I needed; each step required significant work.
Step 1: who are the bestsellers? Contrary to what you might think, this is not as simple as clicking over to the nytimes.com to review the weekly charts. The Times data is extremely broad-based, with very little differentiation between genres – and I'm sure you can understand why a survey that groups Danielle Steel, John Grisham, and George R. R. Martin together on one list is of very little use for this purpose. Amazon, on the other hand, is a bit better at separating genres, but its categories still aren't wonderfully defined, and there's not much in the way of a historical database, or tools for filtering (also, importantly, Amazon only reports on books sold through Amazon itself). As a consequence, I finally wound up ponying up for Publisher's Weekly membership in order to gain access to the publication's genre-specific bestseller lists. This finally provided what I had needed: a complete database of all the monthly (sometimes bi-monthly) top-10 (sometimes top-20) fantasy bestsellers for 2012, 2014, and 2015. (Apparently PW either didn't compile lists for the fantasy genre in 2013, or they never made into the site's archive).
NOTE: If any of you stumble upon other reliable resources for genre-specific bestseller lists, don't keep them to yourself! Be a mensch and share them in the comments section below so that others may also reference them. Like most other sites mentioned in this post, Publisher's Weekly does offer a free option, but unfortunately it does not include the ability to review the bestseller list archives. And while I by no means begrudge PW its membership fee, $225 per year is more appropriate for the industry professionals who are the publication's primary audience; such an amount can represent a significant expenditure for many aspiring authors.
Step 2: when I was done compiling the three (out of four) years' worth of bestseller charts, I had before me a spreadsheet with several hundred novels, written by somewhere in the neighborhood of one hundred novelists (as you might imagine, folks like Martin and Patrick Rothfuss had multiple titles appear over the years, often within a few rankings of each other on a given month's list). Now, to take those 100+ names and find their agents. *rubs hands together vigorously* THIS, my friends, is where the real legwork begins…
First I went back to QueryTracker. The site's "who reps whom" function is a good place to start, and using it I was able to find about 80% of the agent names I sought. From there, it became something of an online safari to hunt down those that were missing; I consulted a host of sources including AgentQuery.com, the Association of Authors' Representatives, and Publishers Marketplace, and eventually, pulling one name here and another name there, I upped that figure to about 90-95%. But there were still several names I could not locate. Time to go old school! As a last step, I checked the Acknowledgments pages for the most recent books of the missing authors. And when all was said and done, by combining these methodologies as described, I was able to obtain the names of the literary agents for all the authors on the list, but for one single, solitary holdout (who apparently had once employed an agent, but was currently without representation or was repping himself).
NOTE: If your strategy happens to be more focused on finding the agents who represent the authors you like, or the authors who write most like you do, you can obviously skip researching the bestsellers in your genre – you already have your starting point. (Congratulations!) From there, the same resources mentioned above should allow you to identify which agents represent the writers on your list. As to the fourth category, hungry young agents eager to make their mark, I never went down that route, but I can say that Writer's Digest is another good resource for agent research, and the site's twitter handle, @WritersDigest, regularly tweets announcements of new agents looking for clients (including which genres they're seeking) – were I to pursue this strategy, that's where I would start.
Step 3: time for more elbow grease. I went through the list and investigated the novels that appeared (many of which I did not know), title by title. Obviously, I did not expect any of them to be exact comparables for my novel (that is, after all, why I wrote it), but I did want to be certain that I wasn't querying agents who were blatantly inappropriate for my manuscript. As literary agents tend to represent a fairly wide range of clients and material (frequently spanning across genres), I was careful to keep an open mind, but even so, I did find a handful of romance-crossover and YA (young adult) novels that seemed suspiciously far afield – and sure enough, upon further research I discovered that their agents repped primarily romance and YA, respectively, not fantasy. Out they went, and my list shrank by another five or so names.
Step 4: the last step was the easiest of them all. I compared the data I had compiled to my bookshelves, just to be sure I hadn't missed anyone, and… Wait just one second! Where was Ursula K. Le Guin? Neil Gaiman? Tad Williams? How was it possible that these great, long-time, multi-bestselling fantasy authors had not made my list? The answer was, of course, that none of their books had charted as a bestseller recently. And so, a few more minutes spent on QueryTracker and Publishers Marketplace later, I had my last few names.
When I was done, I had a roster of 40-odd prospects (why only 40-odd? well, remember how there were novelists who had accounted for more than one bestseller? needless to say, there were likewise agents who had accounted for more than one bestselling author). All I had left to do was to determine which of them to contact first…
My goal was to separate the 40-odd into three or four tiers, based on priority. Therefore, for each candidate, I consulted:
- QueryTracker – to check the agent's querying statistics, and the comments other authors had shared regarding their experiences soliciting him/her;
- Publishers Marketplace – to review the agent's overall dealmaker ranking, as well as recent deals closed;
- Twitter – to read the agent's most recent updates, in case he/she had included any advice on querying; and last but certainly not least,
- The agent's profile on his/her agency website – to discover what other authors the candidate represented, what subgenres he/she might prefer, and of course, what the agency's guidelines were for querying.
If any of those was missing/lacking, I would then supplement what I had with whatever additional information I could find on AgentQuery.com, the Association of Authors' Representatives, or LiteraryAgentUndercover.
As I conducted this review, several interesting trends began to emerge:
- Right off the bat, I saw that QueryTracker had somewhere between one quarter and one third of the agents on my list marked as "not currently open to queries". Well, there ya go, that was easy: the bottom tier already had their hands in the air, asking to be excused.
- In digging through Publishers Marketplace's SciFi/Fantasy (by the way, why are these two still grouped in one category when Mystery, Thriller, and Horror all stand alone?) Dealmaker Rankings, I discovered that there were a good many agents (perhaps 10 out of the top 50) who had not made my roster – folks who had closed meaningful deals over the last twelve months for books that were mostly not yet out in the market. Apparently I had a few more names to add to that original group of 40-odd.
- Perusing agency websites revealed that in some cases, a colleague of the prospect I had originally identified was actually (based on stated preferences) the better candidate for my manuscript. As such, agent #1 dropped to the middle tier while agent #2 moved to the top (in case it's not obvious, it's generally not a good idea to query multiple agents from the same firm simultaneously).
Taking this information, and combining it with a few other factors such as geography (as I live in the publishing/literary agency capital of the world, I dropped all but a few non-NYC-based agents into my second tier), I was done with this portion of the process. I had a final list (well, almost final – as you will see, I added a few more during the last stage), divided into a top tier, a bottom tier, and a middle spectrum that I left undifferentiated pending the results of my first wave of queries. It was time to start my outreach.
Craft & Contact
I've read articles on querying that suggest you should actually begin by contacting your second or even third tier choices first. The idea behind this strategy is that if your letter isn't yet right, you will a) have an opportunity to adjust it before sharing with those in the tiers above and b) if you're lucky, you'll get feedback as to what about it was lacking that you can use to improve it before you embark on your second round. (Note that these articles seem to take it for granted that your letter will be bad – I mean, what happens if the offers come rolling in? Do you try to get second/third tier agents to wait a month while you go back to tier one?) In my case, however, I was confident in the quality of my work, and already knew that no amount of tweaking my query letter would mitigate the biggest hurdle my manuscript was likely to face, so I decided to forgo this approach, and started with those in the top rank.
There are only two things you really need to know about this aspect of the process (I mean, unless you want me to devote a paragraph or two to the finer points of sending emails and filling out web forms…?):
First, make certain that you personalize each note you send. I know you've already done a ton of work at this point, and perhaps it feels like you shouldn't need to do this as well, because of course you've researched these prospects inside-out and are only querying those who you believe are genuinely a good fit. Do it anyway. Apparently, there are a fair number of people who spam literary agents – and you need to prove that you're not one of them. Besides, no one likes form letters! So, take a moment and compose an introduction for each agent that explains why you think he/she might like your work; it's not that difficult (you've already done the research), and it can make the difference between your submission receiving serious consideration and receiving a swift kick to the trash can.
Second, and I can't emphasize this enough, FOLLOW SUBMISSION GUIDELINES! Every single agency I've ever researched states very clearly, and very specifically how they prefer to receive unsolicited queries – and they're all different. Some want the first three chapters of your manuscript, and some no more than the first ten pages; some want your writing sample, synopsis, etc. in the body of your submission, and some want them as attachments; some want you to email each agent directly, and some want you to send to a general submission address (and some want you to use a form on their website). Pay attention, and give them what they want. They've laid out guidelines for a reason; ignoring what they've requested is only going to irk them – and why on earth would you provide them with the ammunition to shoot your query down?
I know, I know – that second point is particularly frustrating. After all, your manuscript is good! Not like that other crap they receive. But the really awesome scene that you just know will convince Anna Advocate to offer you representation begins two pages after the selection she's requested. Surely given the quality of your work, it's okay if you send just a few extra pages… WRONG. Whatever you do, you need to resist that temptation. Don't believe me? Take a look at the following:
Like I said – give 'em what they want.
Socialize & Social-ize
Now that you've sent out your first batch of submissions, it's time to sit back and wait – in some cases for as long as two whole months – and then, if necessary, try again. There's not much else you can do at this point, right? Well, no; actually that's not right. There are several things you can, and should be actively doing while you are awaiting responses.
Most important is to network. In fact, you should probably have begun networking right after you finished your synopsis and query letter, just around the time you were embarking on your research. (I've organized the process into four distinct phases to make it easy to follow, but obviously there will be overlap, especially between the latter three stages.) Reach out to everyone you know who might have even a remote association with the publishing industry to let them know you've finished your book, and are about to begin seeking representation. Ask for any connections they can make – and follow up on all of them, even if they're tenuous, or one to two degrees of separation from your eventual target. Everything I've laid out up until this point assumes that you're cold querying, because that is likely how you will submit to most agents, but like everything else in life, obtaining representation is that much easier if you can approach the task with qualified introductions. A warm (or even lukewarm) intro ensures that your manuscript will be given a serious look, and that even if you are turned down, you'll get some kind of feedback beyond the not-very-helpful form rejection. It is in your best interest to obtain as many of them as you can.
And don't just limit yourself to your immediate social circle; get creative. If, like me, you've spent the last ten years half-heartedly amassing connections on LinkedIn on the off chance that you might someday need them to find a new job/client/vendor, that collection now has another, infinitely more meaningful use! Find out if you have any links to the publishing industry that you don't know about – even if none of them are direct, you'll probably be able to run down anything one or two connections off (the vast majority of folks will be willing to help, as they themselves may need a similar favor someday). What about everywhere you've ever gone to school? Have fellow alums gone into publishing, become agents, or written books themselves? Contact them! I continued to network like this throughout the process (which is why my list continued to grow even after I was "done" with my researching & reviewing), and when all was said and done, it was a connection through a former publisher I met through my parents who had once, years ago, worked on a book with my agent that finally led to my offer. Had my query come in to his agency via "normal" channels, his assistant would have read my manuscript first – and who's to say whether she would have been sufficiently intrigued to pass it along for him to review?
Meanwhile, you should also get more active on social media. Unless you're the one-in-a-million author whose career will take off to superstardom from day one, you're going to need to build your online brand anyway (if you go the traditional route, a strong social presence will help you grow your fanbase, and if you wind up self-publishing, it will be absolutely vital for marketing), and of more immediate importance, following the blogs/Twitter accounts of the agents you've targeted will provide you with invaluable information: you will learn what projects they're currently working on, what they're looking for in submissions, what good and bad moves other queriers have made… you get the idea. Social media is an investment that can take some time to pay off, but in the end it's worth it: if you can successfully grow your own followers you'll be building a distribution base; and if you are diligent in following literary agents (and other industry professionals), you'll be improving your chances of obtaining representation.
That's it! What you see above is everything I learned while querying. In the end, I may never find a publisher, and for all I know, Matt could email me with his 30-day notice tomorrow, but I've made it this far – I'm through the gauntlet and have signed with the agent who was my absolute top choice. In that regard, at least, I have been successful. And so, with ORCS (I am fond of that name), I've laid out everything I could think of that might help others do the same. If you know a would-be writer, please be sure to share – goodness knows I wish someone had sent something similar to me a few months back…
NOTE: One other thing before I end this entry – once you've sent out your first batch of queries, you're going to want to unsubscribe from a lot of email lists. There's nothing worse than continually receiving emails from a hotel chain you visited three years ago, or an appliance website where you bought a microwave two apartments back, or an overly aggressive political campaign where you once signed an online petition, when all you really want is a reply from the agents you've contacted…
*I should point out that this is the general rule with established publishers. You will find some smaller presses that continue to accept direct submissions, and (very) occasionally imprints at the larger houses will hold brief promotional windows wherein they will take them as well. Even so, I still HIGHLY recommend you seek out the services of an agent. Agents have unique industry knowledge, developed over decades of work on behalf of dozens of clients, that is invaluable for purposes of finding the right fits and negotiating the best deals (and besides, you want to spend your time writing your next book, not notes on a contract).

This yoga routine is designed to help alleviate your stress by applying some of yoga's most important poses.A workout like this is often just about working out your own personal kinks.Who is the workout for?People looking to improve their mood. People looking to relieve some stress and anxiety.Yoga and meditation are great at helping alleviate stress. By taking just 10 minutes during the day to do a few yoga postures and deep breathing, you'll feel calm, relaxed, and rejuvenated.
Do you have pain in the knee joints or in the shoulder when you move your body most of the time? Is the pain you feel in your joint preventing you from enjoying your life? If you are tired of patronizing painkillers and you are ready to end your relationship with the pain, you should read on. The truth is that with age, the likelihood of joint pain increases. The situation may also be exacerbated by some other conditions, such as lack of exercise, poor bone structure and lack of essential nutrients in the diet.
There are medications that can be taken to relieve the pain. Nevertheless, yoga can also help speed up the process of pain relief. Yoga is an ancient Indian technique that has been around for thousands of years. It helps relieve pain, tighten the body and calm the mind.
Yoga styles to heal and strengthen joints
1. Warrior pose
The warrior pose or Veerbhadrasana is a yoga pose that helps to strengthen the knee. It also helps to relieve those who suffer from frozen shoulders. If you have stress stored in your shoulder, this yoga pose is also very useful. It helps to release stress from the shoulders and brings the body into balance.
2. represent bow
Dhanursana or bow posture is a yoga posture that both opens and releases the shoulder. If you're looking for some flexibility, this yoga pose can provide that too. Bow keeping provides flexibility in the back, reducing stress and fatigue.
3. Represent the bridge
Setu Bandhasana or bridge support strengthens the muscles in the knee joint. It is also very helpful for those who suffer from osteoporosis. It helps to calm the brain as well as relieve anxiety and stress in the body. The nature of our work increases the stress in our body. For this reason, yoga poses have been structured so that people can lead a pleasant and stress-free life. Osteoporosis can also precede by consistent practice of yoga. This is a condition that everyone has earlier as they get older. Practice yoga regularly and enjoy the intense benefits it brings.
4. Triangle pose
Trikonasana or the triangular spot strengthens legs, knees and ankles. This yoga pose also extends and opens the hamstrings, groins and hips. It also helps to heal the body from sciatica and back pain.
The most important thing about yoga is constancy and pose alignment. Not only is it enough to practice yoga, it is also very important to do the right poses. Another word of caution when practicing yoga is that you should not exceed the limit of your body. Make only poses that your body can wear. Make sure you eat well too. Always remember that the first step to getting a healthy joint is to make the right food choices.

Golden Boy is saddened by the death of one the greatest fighters to ever lace a pair of gloves
Golden Boy is saddened by the death of one the greatest fighters to ever lace a pair of gloves, Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker. The legendary boxer passed away late Sunday night at the age of 55.
The native of Norfolk, Va. was one of the best defensive fighters of all time. He began his journey in the sport with a tremendous amateur career, which he completed by capturing a Gold medal in the 1984 Olympic Games. Whitaker represented the United States as part of an all-star team that included Evander "Real Deal" Holyfield, Meldrick "The Kid" Taylor, Mark Breland and other great fighters.
Whitaker then began a historic professional career where he captured world titles in the lightweight, super lightweight, welterweight and super welterweight divisions. In his journey to becoming a four-division world champion, Whitaker faced the likes of Jose Luis "El Zurdo" Ramirez, Azumah "The Professor" Nelson, Julio Cesar Chavez, James "Buddy" McGirt, Felix "Tito" Trinidad and Oscar De La Hoya.
Whitaker completed his career in 2001, and in 2006, he joined the International Boxing Hall of Fame. The legacy of this great fighter will not be forgotten.
"I'm deeply saddened by the loss of this great champion, who gave a tremendous amount of joy to those who watched him," said Oscar De La Hoya, Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy. "It was an honor to share the ring with him. In terms of his defense and ring generalship, Pernell Whitaker was the best fighter that I ever fought. On behalf of everyone at Golden Boy, we send our prayers and condolences to his family and friends."

Defra has hit back at a report suggesting the performance of the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) was 'failing on multiple levels'.
Defra said while it recognised 'the difficulties caused by the latest incarnation of the Common Agricultural Policy' and agreed some elements of the RPA delivery were 'not meeting expectations', it did not believe the 'complex reality' had been sufficiently recognised.
The RPA was, however, committed to learning lessons from the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) 2017, Defra said in its written response to the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee's report.
"The RPA recognises that its overall customer service, including its communications to customers, needs to be improved and it has a series of measures being developed which are focused on delivering a better customer experience," the response said.
Commenting on further suggestions to develop a system which enabled farmers to make direct changes to the online mapping register, the Government said it would stick to the established paper approach following a failure of the 2015 online maps option which failed to 'work as expected'.
It also confirmed it would not be publishing key performance indicators for mapping queries and associated resolution times, but would instead introduce improved customer communications, changes to mapping guidelines and clearer customer guidance on mapping.
It will also consider appropriate performance measures 'in due course' and continue to update the committee on the progress of the BPS.
For Countryside Stewardship and Environmental Stewardship, people and funding will be transferred from Natural England to the RPA.
NFU vice president Stuart Roberts said: "The Government's response to the Efra Committee's report into the RPA is disappointing as it does not address challenges such as external performance targets and appropriate timing of bridging payments.
"There also needs to be a higher focus on customer service and greater opportunity for future schemes to be developed in order to prevent a repeat of previous errors.
"It is vital that the RPA has sufficient resources to deliver for farmers, both during their transition from current schemes to their replacements beyond Brexit, and that it is fully involved in the creation of future schemes to ensure they are implemented properly and delivered successfully."

No audio why? This crossing the Sahara desert to Libya and then Mediterranean to Europe is the dumbest move anyone can make. I know Nigeria has been wrecked as a country but still there is no point to embark on a suicidal mission. If our leaders have conscience they should do asoul searching
Greed, simple. A young lady who could save up N500,000 (half a million Naira) to bankroll such a trip from somewhere to nowhere is already doing good business even by Nigerian standards. It is not about poverty.
It is time to deal decisively with this shameful act that is painting all Edo State indigenes black. The Edo State government, supported by the Oba of Benin Council, must rise up as one and attack this canker that has eaten and corrupted the very heart of its youth. The parents of these young ones cannot absolve themselves from responsibility for this form of corruption. Bini, Bini, Bini. Enough is enough.

Daily Papers Prep Youth-Oriented Spinoffs
By: Lucia Moses
Recognizing that their core products aren't reaching many 18-to-34-year-old readers, several newspapers, from Melville, N.Y., to Boise, Idaho, are planning or contemplating spinoffs aimed at them. And alternative-weekly publishers are awaiting these new publications with a mix of curiosity and worry about the competition.
The Lansing (Mich.) State Journal, one of two Gannett Co. Inc. testing grounds, has tentatively set an Oct. 23 launch date for its free weekly, which may be titled Noise.
Gannett's other test site, The Idaho Statesman in Boise, is keeping its plans under tighter wraps. President and Publisher Margaret E. Buchanan declined to comment about her paper's upcoming pub, but Mark "Bingo" Barnes, who publishes the alternative Boise Weekly, said Buchanan recently told him the paper would come out in late fall and that "she wasn't certain of how it was going to be distributed at that point."
The Chicago Tribune reportedly is considering a separate daily youth publication, while its Tribune Co. sibling Newsday on Long Island is narrowing down six ideas for young readers, including both in-paper and free-standing products. "A couple of them involve music and our music coverage," was all Howard Schneider, Newsday's vice president of content development, revealed.
In Lansing, the alt weekly City Pulse isn't thrilled that the new pub will come out Wednesday, the same day as City Pulse. And Publisher Berl Schwartz said its color-ad rate will be 35% below his black-and-white rate, according to a Noise rate card. "When the dominant paper does that," he complained, "that's considered unfair competition."
In Chicago, however, alternative Newcity Chicago appears unworried about the Tribune's plans, poking fun with a parody of the imagined paper it called "Chicag-YO!" But can the Trib and other dailies find the right tone, format, and content that will sell among Gen Xers and younger?
The Lansing team is betting on a soft approach. An August prototype of Noise looks like an alternative paper but is heavy on lifestyle features, with cover teasers such as "Get a yoga butt" and "Lansing's outdoor whoopee guide."
Reading young people's tastes isn't just a daily-newspaper problem. In the words of Brian Hieggelke, president of Newcity Chicago: "The 'new generation' is newly minted every year. Those of us who are writing about them … the older we get, the less we should trust our instincts. Ultimately, the reason it's really hard to reach that generation is — the Internet's more important to them than print … and the Tribune knows that better than anyone."

About Ezequeil's family
Emmanuel and his girlfriend Yariis were raising Emmanuel's 3 children in Indianapolis. Emmanuel worked for a recovery company and Yarilis taught Spanish at a local public school. During this time, Emmanuel and Yariis found out that they were pregnant and having twins! They decided to move back to Puerto Rico to be with family, and seek help with the babies. Emmanuel and Yarils safely moved back to Puerto Rico and were surrounded by family when their twins arrived. As time moved on, Emmanuel and Yarilis began to feel unsafe in Puerto Rico. So, Emmanuel moved back Indiana to get a home established. Yarilis and the children stayed in Puerto Rico. Emmanuel was able to get his job back at the recovery company where he worked prior to moving. CB officially became involved with the family once the children were here. CB has assisted the family in signing up for school, navigating medical care, linking them to area programs that can help assist with specific needs. Emmanuel and his family live in a 4 bedroom apartment. Yarilis got a job working from 5pm-2:30am washing dishes. This allows her to be home during the day while Emmanuel is working. The employees at Emmanuel's work have provided household items like a kitchen table, couch, beds and dishes. The children who are ages 12, 8, 6, and 8 months moved here with very little personal items.

Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder of oxalate metabolism leading to kidney failure as well as multi-organ damage. Overproduction of oxalate occurs in the liver due to an inherited genetic defect in the enzyme alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGXT), causing pathology due to the insolubility of calcium oxalate crystals in body fluids. The main current therapy is dual liver-kidney transplant, which incurs high morbidity and has poor availability in some health systems where PH1 is more prevalent. One approach currently in active clinical investigation targets HAO1 (hydroxyacid oxidase 1), encoding glycolate oxidase, to reduce substrate levels for oxalate production. To inform drug development, we sought individuals with reduced HAO1 function due to naturally occurring genetic variation. Analysis of loss of function variants in 141,456 sequenced individuals suggested individuals with complete HAO1 knockout would only be observed in 1 in 30 million outbred people. However in a large sequencing and health records program (Genes & Health), in populations with substantial autozygosity, we identified a healthy adult individual predicted to have complete knockout of HAO1 due to an ultra rare homozygous frameshift variant (rs1186715161, ENSP00000368066.3:p.Leu333SerfsTer4). Primary care and hospital health records confirmed no apparently related clinical phenotype. At recall, urine and plasma oxalate levels were normal, however plasma glycolate levels (171 nmol/mL) were 12 times the upper limit of normal in healthy, reference individuals (mean+2sd=14 nmol/mL, n=67) while her urinary glycolate levels were 6 times the upper limit of normal. Comparison with preclinical and phase 1 clinical trial data of an RNAi therapeutic targeting HAO1 (lumasiran) suggests the individual likely retains <2% residual glycolate oxidase activity. These results provide important data to support the safety of HAO1 inhibition as a potential chronic therapy for a devastating metabolic disease (PH1). We also suggest that the effect of glycolate oxidase suppression in any potential other roles in humans beyond glycolate oxidation do not lead to clinical phenotypes, at least in this specific individual. This demonstrates the value of studying the lifelong complete knockdown of a target protein in a living human to aid development of a potential therapeutic, both in de-risking the approach and providing potential hypotheses to optimize its development. Furthermore, therapy for PH1 is likely to be required lifelong, in contrast to data from chronicity studies in non-human species or relatively short-term therapeutic studies in people. Our approach demonstrates the potential for improved drug discovery through unlocking relevant evidence hiding in the diversity of human genetic variation.

Depending on Emergency GPs , you may end up in a health care facility that is more specialized than a regular hospital of health center. Here are some of the types of specialized health care facilities you may be transported to, depending on the nature of your injuries.
Trauma Medical Center
A trauma center is a hospital that is equipped to provide extensive emergency medical services to patients suffering from traumatic injuries. The injuries that a trauma center treats are ranked from Level I to Level IV, with the most serious cases at Level I facilities. Because medical doctors are expensive to run and not very common; patients outside major cities have to be airlifted to one. Washington State's main trauma center is Harborview Medical Center which is located in Seattle, Washington.
Rehabilitation Centers and Doctors
A rehabilitation center is a facility where patients work to reestablish or relearn abilities they lost because of a serious injury through therapy. Physical therapy helps with movement or previous loss of movement, which occupational therapy might focus on relearning activities of daily life or finding ways to perform them despite a new disability.
Burn Center
A burn center focuses on patients with serious burns. They not only treat burn injuries, but work to help patients return to everyday life often with therapists, social workers, psychiatrists and other professionals who are not conventional doctors. Many health and wellness clinics have burn areas in them but the Specialized Burn Centers in Washington are located at Seattle's Harborview Medical Center, Tacoma's St. Joseph Medical Center and Spokane's Sacred Heart Medical Center.
Assisted Living Facilities : Emergency GPs
These facilities may be appropriate for injury victims who need long-term physical or occupational therapy and help with everyday living. This might be true of someone with a severe brain injury or spinal damage. In addition to providing meals and housekeeping, as at a nursing home, the staff at an assisted living facility works with patients to help them regain independence and abilities. Some patients are able to return home eventually; others may need to remain in a facility throughout their lives.
Home care
Home care Rosebank Olivedale and Fourways is an option for patients whose injuries do not require full time hospitalization. A nurse or other health care professional might visit everyday or a few times per week. Depending on the injuries, the professional might do anything from changing bandages to administering a treatment with an IV to helping with personal needs on all GPs .
Finding Good Medical Care in Johannesburg South Africa
Singapore is the next big mantra in the ever evolving landscape of the global medical tourism industry. Singapore is no longer just the leisure or business destination it used to be till a few decades ago. With a population of about 5 million, a strong workforce of skilled doctors and some of the best state-of-the-art hospitals in Asia, Singapore is fast positioning itself as a global medical tourism hub. Approximately 250,000 overseas patients visit Singapore per year and the hospitals are aiming to increase the numbers manifold. The plan is to serve over 2 million international patients annually and generate USD 5 billion in revenue.
Medical tourism can be broadly defined as the service of providing cost effective private medical care packages in collaboration with the tourism industry for international patients requiring surgical and other forms of specialized intervention. Typically this kind of medical care is not available in the patient's home country or is priced too high. Singapore's healthcare services are built on a foundation of world class quality, hygiene, safety and trustworthiness. This is coupled with advanced research facilities and international accreditation. The medical sector gets sustained support from the government agencies and this helps make Singapore one of Asia's leading medical hubs. Over the last few years eleven hospitals and medical centres in Singapore have obtained Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. Quite a few of them are ISO-9001-2000 certified too.
Patients visiting Singapore mostly originate from neighbouring countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia and Burma. However, in the last decade the patient numbers from India, China, the Middle East and Africa have been witnessing an accelerated growth. Many patients from developed countries such as United States and Europe have been choosing Singapore as their preferred medical travel destination for its relatively affordable quality and yet hassle free healthcare services in a clean cosmopolitan atmosphere. Singapore has been making news for many complex and innovative procedures such as the separation of a pair of conjoined twins and the case of a, 'tooth in eye surgery' a few years back. The successful separation of the 10 month old Nepalese conjoined twins in 2001 put Singapore's medical acumen onto the world's newspaper front pages. Singapore has since accomplished many more milestones both in Asia and in the world stage.
In the year 2006 many Singapore Hospitals initiated the process of getting accredited themselves through the Joint Commission International (JCI), a US-based organization. This could be a reason why in 2006 JCI thought it would be prudent to set up its Asia Pacific headquarters in Singapore. Soon Singapore hospitals may starting looking towards other American or European or Asian-based systems of hospital accreditation in an attempt to enhance their brand equity.
Some top Singapore based hospitals are as follows:-
1) Changi General Hospital:
This medical care provider is one of the largest hospitals in Singapore. Its present infrastructure at Simei was established in the year 1998. It was formed as a result of coming together of two well known hospital brands, the Toa Payoh hospital and the Changi hospital. The hospital can therefore trace its roots back to year 1957, when the Thomson Road Hospital had started its construction.
2) Alexandra Hospital:
This founded operations in the year 1938, this hospital served as one of the primary hospitals for the British Empire in the far east and was known as the British Military Hospital. After the World War II ended and even till the early 1970s, Alexandra went onto remain as one of the most modern and well maintained hospitals in Singapore.
3) National University Hospital:
The NUH is a hospital in Singapore that lies in the vicinity of the medical faculty of National University of Singapore at Kent Ridge. Besides being a professional teaching hospital for the university, it also acts as a well equipped research centre. This hospital specializes in Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Hepatology, Ophthalmology among other specialties.
4) eMenders Singapore:
eMenders is a group of Singapore-based doctors, medical practitioners and surgeons representing more than 25 different branches of medicine and dentistry
5) National Cancer Centre Singapore:
The National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) is a regional and national centre focused at the prevention, management and treatment of different cancers including those involving the skin, lung, breast, stomach, uterus, liver, pancreas, lymphomas and head and neck cancers.
6) Raffles hospital:
Raffles Hospital is a leading medical group and one of the largest private group practice in Singapore operating a network of over 78 multidisciplinary clinics across Singapore. Raffles Hospital is JCI accredited.

Part of having a healthy lifestyle is maintaining a good dental health. In fact, it recommended that you pay your dentist a visit once in every six months. As you know, the mouth is a moist mucus membrane and thus, it is not impossible that bacteria may breed on it. When your mouth is infected with bacteria and you don't have proper dental hygiene, this may lead to serious conditions such as mouth sores or canker sores, tonsillitis, and tooth infection. This is the reason why it is very important to consult a dentist every now and then. However, choosing a good dentist can be a bit daunting because not all of them are good in practicing their profession. So, what to look for in a dentist? Consider these qualities:
The most important thing that you need to consider when you're looking for a dental practitioner is the education background and hands-on professional experience. A good specialist is someone who has completed the necessary course for dentistry, has passed the licensing board exam, and has certifications to prove his ability to practice his profession. Check also the professional experience. Choose those who have been in the industry for a couple of years already.
Another quality of a good dentist that you need to factor in is his ability to communicate well with his clients. He should be able to explain the methods and procedures clearly using simple words that can easily be understood. You also have to take note on the way he explains the procedures, and whether or not he is confident about what he is saying -he should sound like he really knows what he's doing. He should be able to respond quickly to your questions.
Lastly, check the facilities inside the clinic. Check the instruments and the machines used by the dentist. This is a very important criterion that you should look into because the mouth can be quite sensitive. Make sure that the instruments are always clean and sterilized, and that the machines are working properly. Additionally, see to it that the clinic is tidy and well maintain, the staff is friendly, and that you are comfortable with the atmosphere inside the room.
A good dental practitioner is someone who cares about the welfare of his clients, and therefore he ensures that he is armed with proper education and certification, good professional practice, and a working environment that feels like home.
Medical Tourism Saves You Money, but Which Country is Best?
This may seem like a strange question. If you suffer from PMS, menstrual cramps, menopausal or peri-menopausal symptoms, headaches or migraines with your period, varicose veins, endometriosis, bladder infections, chronic miscarriages, or infertility there is a good chance your uterus is unhappy, prolapsed or tipped.
A healthy and happy uterus is dependent on optimal circulation of blood, Qi, nervous function, lymph, as well as good nutrient and mineral balance.
7 Healthy Tips for a Happy Uterus:
1.Walking is a wonderful free exercise that gets your heart pumping, your diaphragm descending for optimal digestion and breathing and your legs moving for good circulation. Walking also boosts the "good cholesterol" and lowers the "bad cholesterol" in your blood, which helps to keep the heart healthy. All of these things are necessary for a healthy uterus.
2. Yoga, especially inverted poses like downward dog, and partial or full headstands help the uterus go back into the proper position allowing for good circulation.
3. Greens, such as stinging nettles, kale, spinach, collard greens, etc, are very important for both alkaline balance as well as mineral balance for optimal nervous function. Women who drink 2-4 cups of stinging nettle tea daily and eat cooked leafy greens as well as lettuce salads are getting the abundant folic acid, calcium, magnesium, and other minerals needed to create a healthy baby.
4. Green Drinks such as spirulina, chlorella, oat grass and wheat grass are wonderful sources of minerals and high in chlorophyll. Wheatgrass is also an excellent source of vitamins A, B, C, E and K, as well as calcium, chlorine, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, sulphur, cobalt and zinc. The chemical structure of the chlorophyll molecule and its similarity to the hemin molecule of hemoglobin makes wheatgrass quickly utilized by the human blood stream, giving the human body the fundamental components to eliminate disease and regenerate itself. (Hemoglobin is one of the major components of our blood) Good strong blood and the proper mineral balance are essential for a healthy fetus.
5. Seeds and Oils and good fats are necessary for optimal hormone production. Some good sources of cholesterol are Flax seed oil, fish oil, olive oil, canola oil, almonds, cashews, avocados among many other sources. Flax seed oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, especially alpha-linolenic acid, which appears to be beneficial for preventing heart disease, inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and a variety of other health conditions. Flaxseed also contains a group of chemicals called lignans that may play a role in the prevention of cancer. Studies have shown that Mothers with low serum cholesterol levels are significantly more likely to deliver premature babies, or full-term babies with lower weight, according to the study, "Adverse Birth Outcomes Among Mothers With Low Serum Cholesterol." Researchers studied 118 women with low total cholesterol (less than the 10th percentile) and 940 women with mid-range cholesterol levels.
6. Castor Oil is derived from the bean of the Ricinus communis or Palma Christi plant (Palm of Christ). The Palma Christi has been used for therapeutically for centuries in the folk medicine of ancient India, China, Persia, Africa, Greece, Rome, and the Americas. It has large, beautiful palmate leaves hence the name, Palma Christi.
Used externally, castor oil has been used to treat a variety of health conditions such as arthritis, liver and intestinal disorders, tumors, cysts, and skin conditions. Taken internally, castor oil is a strong cathartic and is not recommended as there are ways to relieve constipation that are not as harsh. Some of the numerous uses of castor oil include the treatment of breast cysts, fibroids, and ovarian cysts, congestion of abdominal organs, skin conditions, small benign cysts, and adhesions from surgery. Wherever there is congestion, decreased blood flow and need for healing, castor oil can be an effective treatment option.
Castor oil has a unique chemical profile rich in ricinoleic acid which is known to exist in nature only in castor oil. Double blind studies conducted by the Association for Research and Enlightenment, Inc. demonstrated an increase in lymphocyte production and the level of activity of T-cell lymphocytes in the group that used castor oil packs. T-cell lymphocytes originate from bone marrow and the thymus gland, identify and kill invaders such as virus, bacteria, and fungi. In addition to strengthening the immune system, castor oil appears to have a balancing effect on the autonomic nervous system, increasing liver activity and improving digestion.
7. Maya Abdominal Massage is a non invasive external massage of the abdomen that increases circulation around the reproductive organs allowing for the proper balance of hormones, minerals for optimal nervous function, ad good circulation of lymph. Many women have a laundry list of physical and emotional symptoms that can be addressed and prevented with these simple, noninvasive massage techniques. When reproductive organs shift, they can constrict the normal flow of blood and lymph, and disrupting nerve connections. Just a few extra ounces sitting on blood and lymph vessels can cause havoc throughout the different systems in the body. By shifting the uterus back into place, homeostasis, or the natural balance of the body, is restored in the pelvic area and the surrounding organs. Toxins are flushed and nutrients that help to tone tissue and balance hormones are restored to normal order. This is essential for healthy pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

Finishing a pen or pencil is an art form, meaning there is no specific method that works best for all kits, materials, preferences, etc. I belong to the Northwest Indiana Woodworkers Association, where I took a pen turning class with the current President, Kevin Sturgeon. I've also learned a great deal from watching Bob Blanford at RJB WoodTurner's YouTube channel, which is a wealth of information from a seasoned wood turner. Both of these folks, and a handful of other sources, have helped me to learn more about pen turning and also let me know how much fun and entertaining it can be.
Hands on classes are my favorite way of learning, especially when the subject is new to me. Kevin Sturgeon provided an excellent class at a local industrial arts training facility, along with the help of a few other experienced wood turners. Standing in front of a lathe while watching Kevin explain the next steps every few minutes, then providing some coaching and tips while we worked on our own pens was the introduction I needed.
By the end of the class, I had created a beautiful pen and asked Kevin and the other folks for recommendations about lathes and tools. I happened to use a Grizzly G0657 10" x 16" lathe that day, which I was happy with, but Kevin suggested something with more than the 1/2 HP motor that particular model came with. Kevin owns a couple Jet lathes, which he suggested, as well as Penn State Industries, which was one of several brands available for use in the class that day. I purchased the 12" version of the Penn State Industries Turncrafter Commander with a 1 HP motor the next day. There is also a 10" version with a slightly reduced feature set and 3/4 HP motor available, as well.
One of the things I appreciate the most about RJB's videos is his troubleshooting of issues that occur while he is working on his pens. Rather than gloss over an error, or just toss the pen blank, he takes the time to work through solutions and share them. It's always nice to see a presentation work perfectly, but we learn the most through our mishaps. And it's refreshing to see someone with years of experience deal with the issues that come up.
I have provided a combination of techniques from Kevin Sturgeon and RJB Wood Turning that have produced excellent results for the pens and pencils I've made. Not every pen follows the same steps, but this is a general path to follow to achieve a beautiful product.

Many orienteers will be aware that former Northern Ireland orienteering junior and son of LVO member Wilbert Hollinger, met with a life changing accident in Scotland last year. Dave Hollinger was able to climb the world's most challenging mountains but in March 2018 he was only able to move his eyes, as a result of a devastating brain stem stroke. Dave has made incredible progress and has regained slight movement in each limb. With the support of his wife, family and NHS team and a steely determination, he is making amazing progress in the right direction but there are huge challenges ahead.
