DUF Website Updates: A new member of the mailing list asked to be
advised of updates to my website. I do not usually do this as updates
tend to be minor in nature and I encourage people to revisit the site
periodically anyway. Updates are listed by date in the chart at
http://www.spw-duf.info/site.html. However, since my return from the

to the pelvis, gained from the presentation by Dr. James Wiiliams,
including a useful illustration, at
