I’m not going to lie. When this fabric order came in, I did say to myself, “What did I do?” But then I fondled all my goodies and realized that I have lots of plans… now let’s hope I can make all those plans a reality!
So this is my latest order from So Sew English Fabrics. It’s a mix of sweater knits, French terry, double brushed poly, and a cool distressed camo knit. A majority of them I know what I want to do with (except the distressed camo and I’m open to ideas on that one) so it’s really just a matter of buckling down and working on them. I’m torn between starting the football print (I also bought a football vinyl for the Cricut to make something for it) or using the sweater knits for a new shirt that was inspired by this photo.
I still have a few items in my “cut projects” pile, so in an effort to dwindle it down (and finally get to wear what I’ve been daydreaming about), I grabbed another one from the pile. This time I opted for the George & Ginger Rebel Choker in a double brushed poly camo print from SoSewEnglish.
I was very excited about this project initially. I had seen a similar top (but in a more distressed color print) and had wanted to recreate it. The end result? Meh. While I love my previous version, this one just doesn’t do it for me…. it may be all that brown (a color that I don’t wear that much) or just the print in general that doesn’t work. Either way, I’m a bit disappointed. I’ll wear it eventually, but it definitely isn’t a favorite.
As a side note, I did make a small change in this top. When I sewed the shoulder seam, I left 1/4″ on the inside edge of the back open so that when I attached the back collar, it nested nicely inside. This was something that I thought needed to be done in my first version of the top.
One of my projects last week became a labor of love…. and I can’t wait to (eventually) show it off. In the mean time, I can give you a sneak peek as to part of it – tassels!
I can’t remember the last time I made a tassel – mostly because I don’t make a lot of home decor projects that call for them. However, for this article, I made a lot. In fact, I forgot how easy they are to make and how much interest they add to what you’re creating. Not to mention the fact that you can make them in just about any color you desire! I’m sure these super colorful versions would be difficult to find in the store.
Rounding out the last of the “Halloween” sewing…. (more) leggings! Earlier last month I had ordered this fun cardigan from Amazon (beware, it does run extremely small), but felt like I needed something else to go with it – why not leggings? So on my last order from SoSewEnglish fabrics, I threw in a yard of the aqua floral skulls double brushed poly – which seemed to have the right vibe for the crochet inset of the cardi.
As for the pattern, I used my all time favorite legging, Jalie 2920. They sewed up well and fit perfect, plus the fabric feels exactly like something Lularoe would sell…. but for much less. In fact, the whole outfit cost as much as what one pair of leggings would be from LLR! Bargain!

This year, Easton decided that he wanted to be the Snapchat Dancing Hot Dog for Halloween – which meant that I didn’t have to sew a costume this year….. Except that Easton decided he needed to look “more authentic” and wanted a shirt and pants that matched the hot dog in some way. So, I headed to the store to find something that “matched”, the closest I came was a tan rayonish knit from Joann’s.
Let me start off by saying the material itself was horrible. It easily ran, was thin, and only had 2 way stretch (although Joann’s rarely sell’s anything with 4-way), but I didn’t have time to buy anything online that was better and it’s just something that will be worn for a night. I wound up using two Jalie patterns for the shirt and tights – the Nico for the top (because I had this one already out from the other day) and 2920 for the bottoms.
Since the fabric didn’t have a 4 way stretch, I added about 3″ to the length of the tights…. this wasn’t quite enough as they hiked up quite a bit as he wore them. I also didn’t consider that the would also need a slightly higher rise as well, so the fit dipped down a bit too much in the back. (The shirt, however, worked just fine). Overall, Easton liked the look under his costume, but hated the tights. He also looked a bit strange when he took the hotdog suit off – like he was ready to go streaking. But it worked for the night and everyone was happy. But the real lesson? Never, ever use a 2 way stretch for leggings even if you add some length.
Happy Halloween! As you may have noticed, I didn’t have to do a lot of sewing for Halloween this year. So I decided that I needed to sew some Halloween “themed” things instead!
First up, a shirt for Easton to wear today at school. This is yet another Nico (I have lost count how many I’ve made so far), stashed white jersey, and a skeleton Doodle fabric from Joann’s. As much as I complain about the Doodle line of fabric (they have great designs, but the fabric generally has poor recovery and stretches out of shape easily) this one isn’t bad and sewed up nicely.
Last week I showed off a shirt that I had made for Easton’s Red Ribbon Week at school, but because I had to do these very last minute, I never showed off the finished pajama pants…. So here they are this week!
Once again I used Peek-a-boo Pattern’s freebie, the Pajama Party Pants. I paired this up with an emoji print from Joann’s – if you really like these, ignore the fact that it says online only… I found it in my store so it’s worth giving yours a try. I can’t say too much more about this pattern that hasn’t already been said in previous versions, but once again, the pants sewed up quickly and the fit is great. This may be his favorite pair so far – he even had slippers to match!
Somehow, I got so busy on Wednesday that I forgot to blog. How does that happen? What I wanted to share with you is my latest project for Creative Machine Embroidery magazine November\December 2017 issue): Gift Card Holders that double as ornaments (or tags). You can grab your free templates to make this project until December 31, so there’s lots of time to whip these up for the holidays. In fact, they’re so easy to make you can sew up a handful in no time.
No embroidery machine? No problem! The templates are designed to be cut by hand (only the embellishments are sewn with embroidery) so they can easily be finished on any type of machine. Be sure to grab you copy now!
If you’re needing a new bag for work or school, this Relaxed Shoulder Bag has tech pockets and handles too!
I wish some of these Halloween costume tutorials didn’t come out so late… because I love this Circus Clown and Bear Piggyback idea. Maybe next year.
The holidays are rapidly approaching and if you’re looking for a hostess gift to give, look no further than this pretty half apron.
Have jeans that no longer fit? Upcycle the pockets into a cute Advent Calendar! This one can be no sew, too!
I usually see these reusable bowl covers in the summer, but they would be great for holiday potlucks too – just change up the fabric.
This cute little bag is labeled for shopping, but could be used for just about anything.
Capes are a fast way to bring life to a costume. This Bat Cape is perfect – especially if you’re channeling the Adam West Batman this year.
If your little girl loves skirts, but your temperatures are dropping, you’ll love this Legging\Skirt pattern combo.

Football is one of the ultimate team sports. One player very rarely can win a game. However, on Labor Day 2013, we saw that rare instance.
The Alabama-Virginia Tech opener in the CFA Kickoff Classic was, by the standards of that game, one of the more disappointing ‘Bama openers. Tech was coming off of a subpar season, going 7-6 in 2012, and was not even ranked entering this contest. Alabama could not be going further in the opposite direction. The Tide had posted a 25-2 record in the previous two years, having won back-to-back national titles and were heavily favored to win a third straight in 2013.
The Hokies were as game as they could be under the circumstances. Blacksburg legend Frank Beamer was entering his 27th season, and the program looked to be losing steam. The offense was retooling its running game; the defense had lost a ton of talent the past two years. And, unlike tier one powers, VT is not the kind of program that simply reloads. It is very much a program that has to build incrementally and develop yearly.
Alabama, on the other hand, had a senior quarterback that was a Heisman contender; it had just signed another No. 1 recruiting class; and the running game was expected to be as dominant as the year previously, when the Tide fielded yet another Heisman finalist in the backfield.
This one looked to be forgettable. And, largely it was — except for Christion Jones. Jones always had excellent talent. But, he also had a terrifying reputation as a boom-or-bust returner, deserved or not: You could get an unforced fumble or a bad decision just as easily you could see a monster return.
Good Christion showed up that night.
After forcing a quick three-and-out, the Tide was set to receive the punt at its own 20-yard for its first offensive touch of the year. Tech’s punter boomed one, Jones slid up to the Alabama 28 to take the kick...and then he was gone.
The first time Alabama touched the ball in 2013 was an explosive 72-yard return for a 7-0 score. Christion was absolutely flying too -- the acceleration he showed to get the corner and then streak up the sidelines put him in another timezone.
Jones was not done, however.
In a pedestrian day for a Tide offense that had been hemmed in by Bud Foster’s excellent scheming, Jones shined. Trailing just 21-10 in the 2nd, the Hokies had just scored and looked to have momentum going into the locker room for the half. What Jones did then, was even better. He took the kick at the 6 and then had ambled to the 26, where he looked to be sewn up by an entire room full of Hokies at the Tide 27. Somehow, Christion wiggled and spun his way out of the tackles, and turned up the sideline with an escort him all the way to the endzone and a 28-10 Alabama lead.
Jones wasn’t done either. Alabama still up 28-10 late in a slogging game, Jones beat his man off the line and then hit the gas on a beautiful 44-yard strike from A.J. McCarron for another Alabama touchdown.
21-10, Christion Jones.
Still, it would be the 94-yard KR touchdown and the 72-yard PR touchdown that were most memorable. With two return scores in one game, Jones would join the Alabama record books. That feat had not been accomplished at Alabama in the past 60 years before Jones record-night in Atlanta. As we know, Cyrus Jones would join Jones in the record book just two years later, but it remains a remarkable achievement.
Yes, blocking matters, but the athleticism, vision, decision-making, speed were all Jones. He single-handedly gave the Tide its lead, its back-breaking score, and the icing on the cake.
72 days ‘til Alabama football.

Planning a wedding on a beach is a fabulous idea. For starters, nature provides one of the most beautiful backdrops you could ever ask for- completely free! No need to pay for expensive centerpieces or decorations, you will have white sands, glorious painted skies, and the sensation of the infinite by being near the water- a perfect metaphor upon which to build your marriage.
If you are planning a beach wedding, choosing “the” dress has its own set of guidelines specific to the setting. Beach wedding attire, including a wedding gown, cannot be overly formal. Heavy materials such as brocade, satin, and jacquard will be completely out of place. Choose a breezier fabric- silk, chiffon, organza- these will suit the locale perfectly. Another consideration is train length. A cathedral length train belongs in a cathedral. Choose a short train, or go with a flowy, tea-length gown. With regards to veil length, again, choose a shorter headpiece, or even opt for a tiara. It can be quite breezy on a beach, and a longer veil is apt to get tangled and knotted.
Shoes are another consideration to take into account when planning your beach wedding attire. Spike heels are a no-go, as they will sink in the sand and leave you floundering. Flip- flops are one option, a simple white pair or even an upscale type made of leather, and decked with rhinestones would be acceptable. If you want to go extremely simple, it is perfectly appropriate to go sans shoes- just make sure your toes are perfectly polished, and you’re ready to go!
For your guests, a lightweight skirt or dress in pastel colors would be the most appropriate for the ladies, and men may be the most comfortable (and classy) in linen or seersucker suits, rather than the traditional dark, heavy, cloth suits.

A long fight was ongoing between Apple and Samsung over infringement of Apple’s design and patents by Samsung. The judgment was in favor of the iPhone maker and Samsung had to make a payment of over $500 million.
The Cupertino based giant has filed yet another claim over Samsung for additional $180 million. It seems Apple needs a Christmas gift from Samsung as the holidays have already begun.
Apple’s New Claim for Additional $180 Million
The additional sum of around $180 million is calculated on product-by-product devices that Samsung sold after the judgment was passed against Samsung.
Strangely, the calculation includes a very old Samsung S II on the list. Apple claims that it owes from Samsung for continuous infringement of the patent.
It is clearly evident that Apple is slowly but surely looking for alternatives for its Chip manufacturing. Apple has been relying on Samsung for its Chips and other components. But Samsung might lose Apple’s next A10 Chip orders to TSMC.
Samsung has been leading the race in display technology, but the latest rumors suggest that Apple is trying to be independent by developing its secret facility in Taiwan. This new facility is reported to be developing next generation display for upcoming Apple products.
Over the course of a year, Apple has crushed almost all Samsung’s flagship models with its iPhone 6. Apple does not believe in achieving sales numbers on the cost of profits. Apple is also taking away a staggering 94% of profits from Smartphone industry. Apple’s dominance over Samsung is not limited to Smartphone; the company has beaten Samsung with its Apple Watch as well.

In this interesting post ‘The Ingredients for Making Something that Lasts’, I noted an important statement: “We forget that there’s physical work involved in knowledge work, too. That we learn with our whole bodies and not just with the head. And it works both ways.”
The prime mover is work, and work involved our entire being, not just our head or our body. It is important to remember because this needs to influence many aspects of our activities, be they mostly intellectual or physical.
The way we feel or behave physically will influence our creativity and intellectual production. The way we feel mentally will heavily influence our physical performance. As humans both dimensions are intertwined, something we need to grow to respect and build upon.
Physical work and knowledge work are intertwined and indisociable. Let’s remember this in everything we do.

OR&R and NMFS Participate in PREP Exercise in Oahu
MAY 4, 2018 — During the week of April 25, OR&R’s Scientific Support Coordinator for the Pacific Islands and NOAA Fisheries Marine Mammal Response Program staff participated in the Hanini Response Preparedness Exercise Program (PREP) 2018 Full-Scale Exercise held in Kaneohe Bay, Oahu.
NOAA partnered with the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Honolulu, U.S. Marine Corps Base Hawaii, the Hawaii State Department of Health, and several other federal, state, local, and industry response organizations in this three-day oil spill preparedness Area Exercise. The purpose of the exercise was to improve the effectiveness of the Hawaii Area Contingency Plan and the Marine Corp Base Hawaii Immediate Response Guide (IRG).
The exercise coupled operational field response with incident command and unified command. The first day of the exercise involved deployment of spill response equipment, including a MARCO Class V Skimmer deployed by U.S. Navy’s Office of Supervisor of Salvage (SUPSALV) (see photo). The second day exercised simulated wildlife response capabilities for an incident in Kaneohe Bay. A wildlife response trailer equipped for rehabilitating oiled birds was set up in collaboration with rehabilitation experts from the Hawaii Wildlife Center from Kapa’au, Hawaii. The day’s activities ended with a tour of a Red-Footed Booby nesting colony on Ulupau Head on the Kaneohe Bay Marine Corps base. Red-Footed Boobies are among the seabirds and other natural resources at risk of impact in the event of an oil spill in Kaneohe Bay. A table-top exercise was conducted on the third day of the exercise, simulating response to release of 84,000 gallons of jet fuel from a barge at the Marine Corps Base Hawaii fuel pier in Kaneohe Bay. The table-top exercise included preparations for surveying potentially impacted shorelines, or Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Technique (SCAT) surveys. In advance of the PREP Exercise, OR&R’s Emergency Response Division conducted a three-day SCAT training class in Honolulu for area responders.
The National PREP establishes a workable exercise program, which meets the intent of section 4202(a) of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90). PREP addresses the exercise requirements for oil pollution response. The purpose of the Area Exercise is to exercise the entire response community in a particular area. An Area is a geographic area for which a separate and distinct Area Contingency Plan has been prepared, as described in OPA 90.

sociologie18th century: European modern origins of sociology The term “sociologie” was first coined by the French essayist Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès (1773-1799), derived the Latin socius, ‘companion’; joined with the suffix -ology, ‘the study of’, itself from the Greek lógos (λόγος, ‘knowledge’).
Who are the 3 founding fathers of sociology
Auguste Comte was the first true father of sociology. He was the person who coined the term “sociology”. Other sociologist who can also be called the founding fathers of sociology include Weber, Marx, Engels and Durkheim.
Who first discovered sociology
Frenchman Auguste CompteThe term sociology was first used by Frenchman Auguste Compte in the 1830s when he proposed a synthetic science uniting all knowledge about human activity. In the academic world, sociology is considered one of the social sciences.
Who is the mother of sociology
Harriet MartineauHarriet Martineau (June 12, 1802- June 27, 1876), barely known for her contributions to Sociology is today known as the ‘mother of Sociology’. She has started gaining recognition only recently, although she was a staunch political and sociological writer and a journalist during the Victorian era.
Who is a sociologist
What is a Sociologist? Sociology is the study of how society affects people, and how people affect society. … Sociologists use a variety of methods to study society and social behaviour. They examine groups, cultures, organizations, social institutions, and processes that people develop and apply these to the real world.
When did sociology come to India
The origin of sociology in India as a distinct discipline can be traced back to the period around 1920s. Teaching of sociology started in Bombay University as early as 1914 but the birth of current academic sociology took place only with the establishment of departments of sociology in Bombay and Lucknow.

Team sport is a type of sporting activity in which a group of players participate together to achieve a goal. This goal frequently involves teammates facilitating the movement of a ball or other object according to a set of rules, such as scoring points.
Oftentimes, sports are played between opposing teams. However, there are also team sports in which the same team competes against other teams on a single field or court (e.g., tennis).
The distinguishing feature of a team sports is the simultaneous presence of competition and cooperation among the members of the team. For example, a basketball team of 12 members may compete with each other for starting status and playing time, while at the same time cooperating to coordinate their activities for performance success.
These features distinguish sport teams from other conventional groups, such as families or workplaces. In addition, sports teams often have clear standards of effort and productivity. These standards, such as reporting to practice sessions, following instructions from coaches, and working strenuously during competitions, are established and committed by the members of the team.
These practices can help team members learn how to reconcile competitive and cooperative behavior in their everyday lives. In particular, they can teach youth to develop a sense of self-discipline and persistence that will carry them throughout their lives. In addition, they can also help them build confidence and learn to accept failure as a part of the process of learning.

Specific Takeover on Data
STOD-03: Andrey Bogush
Andrey Bogush, with “When Everything Is Over So We Can Discuss"”
May 18, 2016 – August 14, 2016
Finnish Museum Of Photography, Helsinki
Data to computer scientists is as concrete as atoms to nuclear physicists or DNA to biologists. Although generally considered in abstract terms, these elements function as the foundational building blocks of our perceptible world. Take digital images for example: What we see on screen are not apparitions but tangible visual information. From this standpoint, artist Andrey Bogush dissects digital photography as material that can be calculated, coded, and manipulated. For his exhibition “When Everything Is Over So We Can Discuss,” Bogush renders quotidian photographs—shot while working at home or in nature—with digital patterns and hazy swaths or scribbles of color. Pulling these images off the screen and into sculptural space, Bogush printed them on industrial vinyl and has hung them as rippled curtains lining the walls or as flat carpets on the floor. Using similar tropes as artists such as Alice Channer or Lucas Blalock, Bogush features warped, shifted, deleted, and replicated details captured in metamorphoses. For example, elongated appendages are overlain with nebulous blobs of purple and diffused gray in Proposal for Hand, Content Aware Fill and Violet, 2016, while visually fractured and partially replicated fingers and textiles are seen in Proposal for Hand, Phone and Duplicated Curtain, 2015.
Representing digital tools of production, smart phones and laptops are combined with plant matter that makes appearances throughout. At times, images are reconfigured and juxtaposed as floating screens cut and pasted at angles, then flattened onto gradient layers, collapsing the visual depth of the foreground and background. Life experienced daily on-screen bears equal weight to that captured in physical space, and as distinctions begin to blur, digital life for artists like Bogush has long become second nature.
Specific Takeover on Data is the specific rubric of Maxime Guyon. Intended on spreading original discoveries through the work of artists who are focusing on contemporary alterations within the medium of photography.


Oct. 6 2021 french president emmanuel macron held talks with visiting u.s. secretary of state john blinken on friday, the central news agency reported. it was macron’s first meeting with u.s. officials since australia’s submarine purchase deal sparked a u.s.-french dispute.
agence france-presse reported that the trip to mend relations with france, blinken, originally did not arrange to meet with macron. senior state department officials in paris said the two men met one-on-one for about 40 minutes and agreed that “there is an opportunity to deepen and strengthen cooperation” “even if there is still a lot of difficult work to overcome”.
the elysee palace, the french presidential palace, confirmed the meeting between mr blinken and mr macron, saying the visit would help “restore mutual trust”.
in september, australia angered macron by scrapping its $40 billion submarine procurement contract with france and turning to the united states and britain for help in building nuclear-powered submarines. the french government said australia’s cancellation of the contract was like “a knife in the back” and even recalled its ambassadors to washington and canberra at one point.
don fried, the us state department’s assistant secretary of state for european affairs, has previously admitted that “better and more frank consultation among allies would have benefited from the announcement of the tripartite alliance between australia and the us on september 15”.
mr. blinken had previously met with french foreign minister jean-yves le drian for an hour. a spokeswoman for mr le drian said it was an opportunity to “confirm how the two countries can restore mutual trust”.
state department officials said blinken then went to the elysee palace, where he was scheduled to meet with macron’s foreign policy adviser, bernard boehner, but was given “a one-on-one meeting with macron that lasted about 30 to 40 minutes.”
Officials said the atmosphere was “serious” and “I don’t want to describe their mood, but I would say that at least during the talks, the two sides were very sincere and friendly”. The talks are said to include the Indo-Pacific region, cooperation in the Sahel region of West Africa, and EU-NATO cooperation.
MR BLINKEN’S TRIP TO PARIS, WHICH HAD BEEN SCHEDULED LONG BEFORE THE AUSTRALIAN SUBMARINE CONTRACT INCIDENT, WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO ATTEND A MEETING OF THE ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT, BUT HIS TWO-DAY TRIP TO FRANCE IS EXPECTED TO REVOLVE AROUND THE ISSUE OF SUBMARINE CONTRACTS.
the us has recognised that repairing relations “requires time and effort, not only verbally but also in action”.
but u.s. president joe biden and macron have spoken by phone, and france appears to be showing signs of softening. after the two spoke, the french ambassador to the united states returned to washington on september 29th to meet with mr. blinken and mr. biden’s national security adviser, mr. sullivan.
KERRY, THE U.S. CLIMATE ENVOY WHO IS ALSO IN PARIS FOR THE OECD MEETING, SAID BIDEN NOW HOPES TO MEET WITH MACRON IN PERSON.
senior state department officials said the two sides also discussed possible cooperation plans, which could be announced when macron and biden meet in europe later this month, the associated press reported. the date and venue of the meeting between the two men have not yet been set.

CALIFORNIA CARBON FIBER FENDER FIXING PLATES
For more demanding customers with an eye for detail, the Ferrari Genuine catalogue contains a whole range of carbon fibre parts that do not have a direct effect on weight reduction but help to develop the idea of technological innovation and aggressive nature of the vehicle in the carbon fibre concept.
The GTO-style grille is inherited directly from the racing versions of Ferrari models. This grille inherits essentiality and lightness which are obtained by using a honeycomb grille, painted and treated to guarantee that the high aesthetic standards of Ferrari vehicles last. The grille comes in two versions, with and without parking sensors.
CALIFORNIA TITANIUM TAILPIPE TIPS
The titanium version of the tailpipe tips developed on the same stylistic basis as the standard tailpipe tips is a perfect example of Ferrari's constant strive for product improvement. The Ferrari logo, applied by laser micro-engraving directly on the tailpipe, completes the style of this new tailpipe. Adding the inliner which is not included in the standard version reduces exhaust fume particulate which would otherwise soil the outlet. Using titanium has reduced the overall weight of the component by 50%. Titanium gives the tailpipe tips a distinctive colour, creating an attractive chromatic contrast with the bumper grille, also made in titanium, but in a darker more opaque shade resulting from the different mechanical processing it undergoes compared with the tailpipe tips.?
CALIFORNIA EXTERNAL CARBON FIBRE SILL PLATE
The carbon fibre inserts offer owners extreme flexibility in how they configure the interior of the passenger compartment with a wide range of options that give every aspect of the interior a truly personalised look. The kits are designed to meet all customer needs although customers can also buy and install single parts from their dealer who is trained in and informed of all the possibilities that the Ferrari catalogue has to offer.


Move aside, Santa, because there's a new little girl in town to take the stage. Her name is Elyse, and she's one heck of a dancing queen.
A video of Elyse showing off her moves was posted to Facebook by her mother Natalie Rose. In the video, Elyse can be seen doing her own take of the famous "Whip/Nae Nae" dance at Bev's Dance Studio & Lily Pad in New Baltimore, Michigan, along with Santa. Her enthusiasm and fierce attitude is seriously adorable, and puts Santa's dance moves to shame.
The clip, uploaded just three days ago, already has over 5 million views, and it's easy to see why.

Measles is an acute epidemic caused by an infection caused by measles virus, which affects the respiratory tract and causes skin rash. It is characterized by very strong infectiousness, which is especially common in young children, but in principle it can be transmitted to anyone regardless of age.
Measles is most likely to recover completely when treated, but if some symptoms become worse, it may cause other complications and worsen the condition. Statistically, in 2003 alone, more than 3 million cases of measles were reported worldwide, of which about 500,000 deaths occurred.
Once this happens, the body feels hot and noticeable rashes appear. It is highly contagious and can easily spread by coughing or sneezing.
Measles usually occurs within 10 to 12 days of contact with infectious people. Early symptoms include coughing, runny nose, nasal congestion, discomfort, eye irritation, tears and fever, and a small, irregular dark red spot called "Koplik patches" appears on the inside of the cheek after 2 to 4 days . With this symptom, a rash appears on the face and neck, trunk and limbs, palms, and soles. Sometimes even the lymph nodes of an infected person can be infected, which can include diarrhea, vomiting, and eye inflammation.
In addition, some people may not have symptoms until one to two days after infection. However, the absence of symptoms does not mean that it is not contagious.
Most children develop symptoms less than a week, and usually recover after about two days. Coughing can last up to two weeks. However, the risk of secondary infection is not negligible. According to the Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne, children can have measles, ear infections, and pneumonia or diarrhea and vomiting. In rare cases, encephalitis may lead to serious complications.
Common symptoms of measles are usually strong coughs, runny nose, high fever and eye congestion, and children may have co-flick spots in their mouths before the onset of the rash. In addition, rashes occur between 3 and 5 days after the onset of symptoms, and sometimes up to 40 degrees. The rash begins with red spots on the forehead, gradually expanding down to the face, neck, torso, arms, and legs. These rashes and fever slowly improve and disappear after a few days.
Cause of cause
Measles is caused by viruses in the mucous membranes in the nose and throat of an infected person. Rapidly spreading directly or indirectly to the saliva or mucus of infected children or adults exposed to coughing, sneezing, or contaminated air. Especially when coughing or sneezing, the virus spreads more easily through the particles in the air, making it more infectious. If you are in the same space as the infected person, the probability of infection is higher.
When exposed to the virus, symptoms usually develop after 7 to 14 days. People with measles can spread the disease around four days after the onset of the rash, especially if fever, runny nose, or cough accompany them. And if the immune system is already weakened by diseases like HIV and AIDS, it can spread the disease until the measles has fully recovered.
As mentioned earlier, most people disappear immediately after a few days and are cured from the disease. However, if the elderly or those with weakened immune systems are infected, the possibility of ear infections and pneumonia can not be ruled out. Rarely, it can lead to encephalitis or acute brain inflammation, which can lead to seizures, epilepsy, mental retardation, paralysis, and, if serious, death. In some cases, an attack may also be applied to the digestive system, the heart muscle, or the kidneys.
Most children will be screened at the hospital, treated at home and recovered. Because of the virus, no antibiotics are needed. Antibiotics do not cure the virus. It is best to stay in isolation at home for at least 4 days and be treated.
In fact, specific therapies for measles have not yet been developed. However, it is prescribed in such a way as to alleviate symptoms such as fever, cough, and other uncomfortable feeling. Also, if the patient is suffering from otitis media, an inflammatory disease of the ear, antibiotics may be administered by a physician.
The important thing is that children should not take aspirin. Aspirin can increase the risk of Reye 's syndrome causing inflammation of the liver and brain. Reye's syndrome is a rare but very serious disease that causes a sudden onset of vomiting and coma in a child infected with a cold or a cold. Severe deaths may result.
The best way to protect your child from measles is through immunization and vaccination of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine between 12 and 15 months.
