:: Do not add up
I was looking at the New Books section in the library of my college and
I found a book called PS3569.L3 by David Slavitt. Now, PS3569.L3 is where
the book is found in the library as well as the name of the book. Wow!
This would be like my address and my name being the same thing, an ultimate
consolidation. But it made me think seriously about the different sorts of
information that a name and an address give us. An address tells us where
something is and a name tells us what sort of thing that thing is. These two
kinds of information cannot always be combined. For example, take the case
of a cup. The cup is the name and the cabinet is its address. The name
"cup" applies to things which are not within the cabinet and
the address "cabinet" has many more things in it besides cups.
I do not think that the name of a thing and its address can always be
combined, but I do think that David Slavitt's example could lead us to
some interesting investigations of the different sorts of information
contained in names and addresses.
In here, what is joyousness has already changed. The noon sun does not
please me, but what might I say that would please me? Perhaps the dawn,
the sunset; the changing of the light. Full sun is beautiful overhead,
but it fades and why? Its fading does not remind us of its beauty as
the fading of dawn and the sunset do (ending with preposition). The
changing light constantly reminds us that it is in a continual state
of becoming. That birth is not like the birth of a child which occurs
once, but more like the birth of love which is continually delivering
The "Yes" I say and the "Yes" which I wish my lover
to say are often hypocritical. Often, I say "Okay" or
"Fine". The statement of "Yes" is an ideal, often
not reached, but when it is, there a feeling of accomplishment in my
deepest bone structure. Within the hypocritical there is often an ideal
which we wish to live by, possibly an unapproachable ideal or possibly
approachable only for mere instants. To approach the ideal one's being
(or collection of beings) must be altered, or as Rilke writes and
Wittgenstein fondles, "You must change your life."
(remember to write essay on Rilke's prickishness -- the way he says
and writes that if you do not live and write in the manner and way that
he does, if you do not feel that you would die if you were unable to
write (Letters to a Young Poet), if you are not willing to change your
life for poetry (above mentioned line in poem about statue of Apollo),
if you are not old with feeling and experience (Notebooks of Brigge, and
even when old you will probably only be able to write ten good lines); he
says that if you do not do all of these things that you cannot and should
not write, there is not even any possibility of it. I wonder if he had all
of these qualities or if he shoved them in his own face and went depressed
through the years. Rilke builds a wall for a young writer, or any writer,
to smash his face into. He gives us the obstacle of an unreachable ideal.
Reading Rilke might make any writer catch fire with the match of a poetic
life, but he might also make them burn to shreds. Remember the great poet
who wrote "But to truly be a star you must also truly burn."
Yes, remember to write that essay! But also remember to keep it short,
possibly 231 words long.)
When you read a book how do you know that the "I" of the narrator
is always the same "I"? Idea: A book with four separate narrators
whose voices are distinct, but the reader is never told which one is telling
the story. The first half of the book: the characters are distinct and each
telling their own separate stories. The second half of the book: the
characters merge and become one as the author emerges finally.
Trust, both of the world and of people, is a result of the fact that we
cannot know what we cannot verify for ourselves. Anxiety has it origin
here. Perhaps content, calm people have more trust in the world and in
people than anxious people do. Maybe anxious people need more evidence
than calm people do.
How does the quantity of work that a poet produces affect his ability to
be and call himself a poet? A large quantity of work perhaps means that
the poet has forced himself to live a poet's life, to see all through the
lens of poetry, to endure being a writer, to endure working, to realize
the fullness of the tree in the potential of the seed of his first
"I must tell you that as a painter I am becoming more
clear-sighted before Nature, but with me the realization of my
sensations is always painful. I cannot attain the intensity that is
unfolded before my senses. I do not have the magnificent richness of
colouring that animates Nature. Here on the banks of the river the
motifs multiply..." Cezanne
Cezanne's doubt is twofold: His manifest doubt is that he cannot depict
nature realistically and this led to his ability to invent new methods
for painting and perceiving. But there is another doubt that questions
whether a painting can hold reality at all. It is this modern doubt which
suspects that a realistic painting cannot hold the truth of its subject.
This second doubt entails the belief that there is something more in a
thing than that which can be sensed, that there is something radiant in
a thing's presence which eludes our ability to depict it. But we still
must attempt to do this impossible thing -- to understand one
simple thing and communicate it completely. The realization that the
depiction (painting, poem, novel, photograph) of a thing in a realistic
manner does not necessarily capture the essence of that subject is the
basis for abstract art. Abstract art seeks to depict the radiant quality
of the subject by eliminating any realistic depiction. Perhaps abstract
artists have realized that when a narrative is too strong the idea behind
it is often lost. But abstract artists must realize, like all artists,
that their art and the perspective it gives, is ipso facto limited.
Multi-media art has attempted to remedy the limitation of method
and form. It has attempted to say that through the use of many methods
and forms it will be possible to eliminate the limitations of each
method. I do not think that we can say that this is possible, but I have
not thought about it enough to have a reason for this belief.
In books that are heavy on plot the idea behind the plot is often lost
to me. These books do not urge us to dig for the deep and mythical within
them. They do not necessitate interpretation. The trend to move away from
narrative has produced many books which force us to interpret them, they
force us to search for the deeper meaning. This quality lies within the
very structure of those sorts of books. If we are not forced to interpret
the world, do we nevertheless interpret everything anyway? In an interview,
Alexander Nehamas states, "We're condemned to be interpreters. The
only question is whether we do it well or badly: do we interpret in an
original manner or do we interpret in a way others have already
interpreted?" ("Bomb" magazine, Fall '98, pg. 41). I
agree with him if I can say that he is not talking about anyone but about
humanity in his ideal state. Most of the time we do not interpret the world,
most of the time I walk without noticing, often times I am not very
conscious of my life. The novel of ideas and the strange novel force
us to interpret them and while we are interpreting we are happy, we are
engaged. This is one of the reasons why people criticize television,
because it does not need the viewer to participation with it. It can become
background noise. But it does not have to; we can work to find the
mythological struggles that constantly occur on television; we can work
to interpret television. But it will be hard work for it is so easy to
let the images on television pass by into meaninglessness. To force
yourself to interpret your life constantly is one of the ways in which
life can become art. The world does not ask for you to interpret it, not
much in life really asks for your participation with it. Art is never
asked for. An artist must fight to overcome the indifference the world
has for him. Emerson said that an essay should be a "perpetual
noticing." We must agree with him. There is no time off in art and
philosophy for they form a new system for perceiving, for living. But we
cannot be "perpetually noticing" everything; we must select
our medium and our subject; we must limit ourselves in order to say
anything, for the statement of everything is impossible and meaningless.
The existentialist has made us realize that there can be no philosophy
that does not begin with the self; there can be no question worth asking
if it does not involve the self. But this presents us with another
problem/question: Do we continue to always have to state that
everything must pertain to the self, or can we move on and do the work
of it? Do we constantly have to use the word 'self' or can we imply that
everything must pertain to the self? And on a side-note: "Can
we force ourselves through hard work to be engaged in any possible task
or idea? Can we work hard enough so that any question or idea will
pertain to the self?" (another one quotes the self).
I have tried to do art in numerous ways: writing poems, essays, novels,
and painting, photographing, making paper, drawing, dressing, cooking,
eating, walking, and observing. I recognize that each of these methods
has its limits, but attempting them all makes me both understand their
individual limitations and character and it also helps me to try to
eliminate these inherent limitations. The goal is to express things in
as full a manner as possible; to gain intimate access into the noumenal
world of a thing and express it; to express things as radiant unities.
I do not know whether doing art in a number of ways helps or hinders
us in achieving this goal. But I do art in a number of ways for a few
other reasons. Firstly, if you do art in a number of ways you have a
better chance to be able to express any type of thing. Secondly, if you
do art in a number of ways you can do art more often and avoid the
depression of down-time (it is much easier, for me at least, to
write two poems, draw two pictures, write a story, etc., than it is to
write ten poems). And thirdly, it is nice to artistically please every
person who you love with all of their diverse tastes and ideas.
I have another question concerning the previous paragraph: Are all of
the various ways of doing art, which I stated (poetry, photography,
making paper, drawing, eating, walking, observing), all actually methods
of doing art? Poetry, photography, and drawing are all definitely
considered methods for doing art. Making paper and cooking are usually
considered methods for doing art, except for the fact that they both
have the connotation of being crafts. But are walking, eating, and
observing methods for doing art? It is sometimes said that with an
"expanded notion of art" life can be viewed as art. But this
does indeed make it difficult for anyone to actually become an artist
for they have believed that they were artists for their whole lives. I
can see how, through conscious engagement with life and the struggle to
attain this engagement, life could become an art form. But this would
be tantamount to creating a philosophy and philosophies need to be
written out in order to understand their implications and specifics.
Or do they need to be written? Can a philosophy be merely lived? If
so, it would be the ultimate existential philosophy or "life
philosophy" -- a philosophy that insists that we put the
self first using the method of living and not of writing -- ha.
Or more broadly, does art need to have a product? And if it does, then
no matter how much an artist hates it, every artist is a materialist.
I just read an interview with Alexander Nehamas in Bomb magazine (which
is probably why I am writing this) in which he states, "The purpose
of philosophy as the art of living is, of course, living. But the life
that it requires is a life devoted to writing"("Bomb",
Fall '98, pg. 40). Not only did that quote lead to my having this
question with myself, but it also made me joyful to be a writer --
the exemplary model of what we do makes us realize that what we do is
possible and necessary.
I wonder how the act of writing words and messages on paintings has
changed how words are used in poems, novels, and philosophies? The
words written on paintings are usually either concise messages (Joseph
Kosuth, Barbara Kruger and Christopher Wool), or semilegible, elusive
experiments with language (Basquiat, Tapies, Twombly). I'm not quite
sure how you would go about trying to answer this question.
I am sure that Faulkner drank when he wrote. I am sure of this both
from things he said and from my own experiences of drinking and writing.
Many people have told me that one should not use drugs and do art at the
same time. And it is true that when I have written something while being
intoxicated I have felt embarrassed to tell anyone of this fact. It is
as if drug induced art was somehow less pure than sober art. One must be
careful when using drugs and doing art at the same time because while you
are intoxicated your judgment loosens and your ability to judge is one of
things which is at the heart of interpretations and interpretation is at
the heart of art. But it can be a good thing to have your judgment fall
away; it can open you up to new possibilities. I think that writing while
high is sort of like writing on a train. It can either be a very positive
experience and lead you in new directions or it can make you either
incompetent as an artist or unable to do art at all. I once rode the train
from New York City to St. Louis and I wrote, what I consider to be, one
of my best poems, but then I rode the train from St. Louis to Seattle and
wrote nothing at all. The question of whether using drugs and writing is
good or bad is different for each person at each time in their life.
There isn't any sort of categorical statement that we can make on it.
However, we can think about it, we can argue with ourselves about it in
order to better understand it. While drugs might not have a negative
effect upon art, they may have a negative effect upon the artist and
this is a slightly different point than the first. When a drug is used
to help with art a new space is made for the artist. This new space will
not be accessible to the artist except when he is using that drug.
Therefore, if the artist needs this space to complete some work of art
then he will be functionally addicted to the space and to the drug with
which he made the space.
We can be philosophers like Nietzsche, Heraclitus or Fermat who all give
us the grand statement at the end of a proof but withhold the proof. Or
we can be philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, and Kant whose philosophies
work out every aspect implied by the final statement and which offer a
reader the proof that was used to reach that the final statement.
The notion of morning, the haze on early breath, wished I had fed the
gulls, but coffee now, I must write, no, must live, which to which and
whose to whose. "Mouth to her mouth's kiss", I think that's
from Ulysses, Joyce makes a great chiasma of language. Early now, but
my lover is not here, somehow I must live and write...I have always felt
that writing was an active state, reading seems passive, talking (when
it's best) feels active, watching movies is passive for me, but writing,
writing is always active, some of my best memories are of writing --
the drunken train writings, the after sex sweet lover writings, the
working out of everything into an integrated way of living. Is it a way
of living that I am after? Of course, but I know that I write too much
and dance too little, I write when my lover is far and dance when she
is near, that is my decision, and I think that it is a good decision in
all these mornings. Though, I do love the gulls on the foggy beach. But
I have definitely forgotten to talk about many important things about
morning (and this was supposed to be a piece of writing about morning)
such as the awful morning breath and the interminable morning
I often disguise my wonder because I am embarrassed of it. I want to act
naive when I am in a state of wonder (or reverie) and when I am not in a
state of wonderment I wish to show off my smarts, but it is hard. It is
hard to show an entire self. While visiting my friend Melvin in Santa Fe
he mentioned Duchamp and I know almost everything about Duchamp but I
said almost nothing. I must have said something about his expansion of
the term "art" through his readymades and through The Large
Glass. But I said nothing about the notes. The notes of Duchamp are what
really turn me on. The idea that notation could be art is so fabulous to
me, but I said nothing to Melvin. Perhaps I was embarrassed, perhaps I
felt that he wanted a shorter answer; an answer that could have been the
answer to a standardized test (i.e., Duchamp was...). It is so difficult
to know when someone wants to know the confusing truth of a subject and
when they want the simple test answer. I understood Kant until I read him,
now I can say almost nothing. I would probably concentrate on one of his
more obscure ideas. I couldn't give a synopsis of Joyce though I have
read everything he wrote and much of what he read. When we go deep into
a subject we find that we cannot tell it out, we cannot name the theme.
After a few months we perhaps can say what the main idea of it is. Perhaps
we can never tell out the main idea of something after we really know it.
We need time, as people, to let all of the unnecessary aspects of a
subject fall away.
I wonder what the first synonym was? When did it come to pass that we
needed two words for the same thing? I suppose that synonyms are not
equal, but subtly different. Ohh, when did we get such subtlety in
"Take what you have gathered from coincidence." Bob Dylan.
"My intellectual heroes are people like Nietzsche, who think that
many things happen for no particular reason. But once they happen you
can use them for your own purposes. And if you use them successfully,
you have given them a reason." Alexander Nehamas. I hope that
this essay, without any connection by the author, makes sense. Or do
I need to say something afterwards? Do I need to add myself?
When is the best time to hear new music? When is the best time to listen
to music that challenges everything that we trust? I suppose that the real
question is: when can we best handle a shock to our aesthetic set of
(Whenever we enter an educational situation
either as a student or a teacher
we must think about the role and importance
of education in our lives.)
How to test a teacher:
For the first assignment
do something very odd,
integrate and work hard on it --
hand in a long poem or a large art piece,
make sure that it demonstrates
that you have thought a long time
about the material --
if they think about the piece
and accept it
they want to teach you --
if they reject it
they want to mold you.
The best teachers
stand up and say:
"No, I will not let
love of things
When a student is a couple of weeks into a class she must decide how she
wants to operate in the class, she can:
i) Decide to do really well in the class because either
a)She knows that the subject of the class is important and interesting
b)She has a need to do well in all things.
ii) Decide to go to class, but not really be engaged with the subject
matter -- thus, almost auditing the class.
ii) Decide that the class is being poorly taught and therefore the grade
in the class is not important, but that the subject matter is, and
therefore she goes out on her own and attempts to find what is beautiful
and existentially relevant in the class, perhaps she finds the poem at
the center of the subject.
Either the hoops
which a student must jump through
must be made explicit
that the student
will create her own hoops
must be made explicit.
An ethical question:
I know a quotation of Jean Genet's from the back of a Patti Smith album.
Is it wrong for me to say, "Jean Genet said, 'X'" or "There's
this quote of Genet's that really goes along with what you're saying."?
Or should I say, "I read this quote of Jean Genet's on the back of a
Patti Smith album."?
Related: Is listening to a tape-book grounds for saying that you have
something to say about that book? Is reading the cliff-notes of a book
grounds for saying that you have something to say about that book? Is
hearing a lecture on a book grounds for talking about that book?
Or: Does it matter where we get information?
Since knowledge of a book or subject always seems incomplete it seems that
anywhere we can get knowledge is fine as long as we don't pretend to know
everything about that book or subject.
I am 21. I'd like to write about being stoned -- I'd like to write
about it in a semi-intellectual way -- I'd like to write about
how being stoned changes my wants and views and my general outlook on life.
I wonder if there is anyway to do this without sounding cheesy or flaky.
I wonder if there is a way to write this in an intellectual way from the
first person perspective, or must we rely on others to tell us how we have
changed when we are stoned.

Curby Cemetery is one of the unused cemeteries in Spokane County.
It is located on the south bank of the Spokane River in Northwest
Spokane County. There are six known graves and many unknown.
From the book by Ann Roberts, printed in 1989, I found the following,
taken from oral history of Alice Blair Newell. Alice grew up close
to the cemetery where her grandparents are buried, as well as an
aunt and uncle.
Below are listed a few of the many who were buried here. The wooden
markers that depicted the gravesites no longer exist, only flower
plants growing over the graves or mounds of dirt, distinguish where
the different graves are. There is no access to this cemetery.

Lincoln-Lemington woman on fugitives list arrested in Larimer
A Lincoln-Lemington woman who was placed on the Allegheny County Sheriff Department's “Most Wanted” list of fugitives was arrested on Wednesday as she rested on a living room couch with her infant granddaughter, sheriff's Sgt. Douglas Clark said.
Danyell Moore, 38, was placed on the list after a bench warrant was issued for incidents in October involving her 10-year-old son, Clark said. The boy was placed in the custody of his grandmother after he told school officials that his mother had disappeared the night before, Clark said.
Moore also is accused of taking the boy without his grandmother's knowledge, prompting her to file a missing persons report, Clark said. The boy was returned unharmed four days later.
Deputies made the arrest after receiving a tip Wednesday morning that Moore could be found in a home on Meadow Avenue in Larimer, Clark said.

I'm a firm believer that cat videos are among the top reasons for the internet's greatness. YouTube has no shortage of them, but this cat video is a bit more subtle than a feline chasing a laser light or some other demonstration of cat's enthusiasm. In fact, the cat in question isn't really doing much, but its grumpy expression and tense posture as it's hassled by a bunch of chicks speaks highly of the kind of patience some cats demonstrate.
Jezebel shared the video below, which shows a cat cornered by a flock of adorable chicks. The cat does not seem amused or smitten by their furry cuteness.
The video comes via the CatsChanel YouTube page, with no description or background information mentioned.
I'm not even sure I'd find this video to be as funny as I do - considering the cat's non-reaction to the chicks, apart from occasional blinking - had I not witnessed a similar reaction from my own cat recently. My cat Lily is playful, friendly and relatively unruffled by dogs, vacuums and other things that tend to send some cats under the nearest bed, so I figured she'd be fine with a "playdate" with my nephews (the youngest is approaching 2 and the oldest, not yet six). I soon saw my cat's tolerance tested as my youngest nephew had her cornered and proceeded to lovingly smear gingerbread-house-frosting into her otherwise clean, orange fur. Lily huddled against the wall with a very similar expression to the cat in the above video, visibly irritated but composed, likely realizing that the onset of annoyingness does not warrant a violent reaction in spite of the fact that she is not happy or comfortable.
Needless to say, Lily's visit with the nephews was brief, and she was later rewarded with a few Pounce for her patience.
So, with my own cat's experience with innocent but enthusiastic younglings in mind, I give the above cat credit for keeping its paws and claws tucked beneath it, even as a couple of them pecked at its whiskers. Someone give that cat a Pounce.

The following is an announcement from CenturyLink:
CenturyLink, Inc. (NYSE: CTL) employees, the CenturyLink Clarke M. Williams Foundation, and local citizens recently contributed more than $740,000 to food banks and schools across the State of Washington through two of its national community relations programs.
The 2016 CenturyLink Backpack Buddies Food Drive, held June 6-17, supported 24 food banks in Washington, generating more than $640,000 to help fight hunger through online donations and a match from the CenturyLink Foundation.
The CenturyLink Teachers and Technology program, which has been offered since 2008, awarded approximately $102,000 to schools in Washington. This program awards grants of up to $5,000 to schools in CenturyLink’s local service areas on behalf of teachers who have developed specific plans to innovatively implement technology in their classrooms.
“We are excited that we have helped food banks stock their shelves just as parents of children on free and reduced-price school lunch programs look to food banks for help, and that we have aided passionate educators in exposing their students to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts in their daily school lives,” said Sue Anderson, CenturyLink’s vice president of operations for Washington.
Across the country, employees and local communities raised approximately $665,000 as part of the company’s Backpack Buddies Food Drive. To further support the annual drive, the CenturyLink Clarke M. Williams Foundation contributed $1 million to local food bank beneficiaries based on the amount of donations they received through the online donation site, bringing the total amount donated through the annual food drive to more than $1.6 million. A total of 144 food banks were supported in communities the company serves across the United States. Food banks that offer backpack programs were asked to direct 50 percent of their gifts from the CenturyLink Clarke M. Williams Foundation to those programs.
The 24 Washington food banks that received the more than $640,000 were:
Across the United States, more than 1,000 Teachers and Technology grant applications were received and 314 were awarded. Grants were selected based on the impact they will have on students in the classroom and the overall innovation of the project.
In Washington, the 21 schools that received the $120,000 in Teachers and Technology grants were:

Recently, the Geekbench database showed the results of the unannounced smartphone PDKM00, which insiders associate with the OPPO A92s 5G model based on the MediaTek Dimensity 800 mobile processor. In anticipation of the release of the new product, enthusiasts compared the chip performance with competing solutions from HUAWEI and Qualcomm in the middle price segment.
The opponents of MediaTek Dimensity 800 are Kirin 820, which debuted with the HONOR 30S smartphone, as well as the Snapdragon 765G, which became the “core” of the Redmi K30 5G. All three models are positioned as mid-range processors. According to the test results, the Chinese challenger became the leader - its indicators in Geekbench were 2987 and 9395 points in the single - and multi-core, tests, respectively.
The Dimensity 800 was inferior in performance to the Snapdragon 765G chip in a single-core test, gaining 2504 “parrots” versus 2891 from the opponent, but outperformed it with a load on all CPU cores: 8130 versus 7758 points.
According to previous leaks, the MediaTek Dimensity 800 is manufactured using a 7-nanometer process technology. The SoC architecture is represented by four high-performance Cortex-A76 cores and four energy-efficient Cortex-A55. For the graphics capabilities of the new chip meets Mali-G77MC4. The mobile platform supports displays with a refresh rate of up to 90 Hz, as well as up to 16 GB of RAM standard LPDDR4X.


15 March 2018 – Gibdock has once more vindicated its reputation for delivering maintenance and repair services on time and to the highest stands in the ro-ro and container ship markets. The Gibraltar yard has completed two projects in recent weeks that demanded ships re-entry into service without delay.
Returning customer Compagnie Maritime Nantaise (CMN) chose Gibdock’s facilities to carry an extensive package of work on its ro-ro container vessel, MN Calao, which spent 18 days in the yard last month, taking in its five-year classification survey. The 12,026 dwt, 160m long vessel, which was originally delivered by Hyundai Mipo Dockyard in 2013, is a sister to the same owner’s MN Tangara, which was docked at Gibdock in June and July 2017.
For MN Calao, Gibdock was tasked with carrying out an extensive and complex paint job, covering the underwater hull and the superstructure, including the funnel and mast areas, to return the vessel to ‘as new’ condition. In addition, its two MAN B&W 7-cylinder main engines were overhauled, and the boilers cleaned, as part of a major maintenance programme that included work to the ballast water treatment plant.
During the vessel’s stay in the yard a thorough inspection of the rudder blades and steering gear was carried out and the tailshaft removed to enable new stern tube seals to be installed. The propeller itself was also refurbished and new blades were fitted. The yard also inspected all lifesaving appliances, renewing them as required.
“Close co-operation between the client and ourselves ensured this project went smoothly and was completed on time, to a high quality and to the owner’s satisfaction,” said Filip Tsankov, ship repair manager. “This was a big project that covered almost every area of the ship and its key machinery items, and as a result required careful planning to ensure there were no conflicts between the different elements of the work scope as they were being carried out simultaneously.”
Another recent visitor has been the 148m, 1,080 TEU capacity container vessel Ops Hamburg, which spent around 20 days in the yard before leaving in early March. Part of the work on the vessel, which is managed by first time Gibdock customer Uniteam Marine, was carried out alongside and the remainder in dock. The biggest single job involved the removal of the ship’s MAN B&W 7L 58/64 main engine for overhaul in the workshop.
Gibdock also carried out hull surface treatment, blasting and coating work and withdrew the vessel’s tailshaft, liner and rudder for inspection, which revealed the need for an unexpected amount of additional work. The tailshaft assembly was subsequently removed and transported to the yard’s workshops, where modifications were carried out in way of the propeller blades and to the surface of the propeller hub.
In addition, the ship’s electrical motors were overhauled, stern tube seals renewed, and maintenance carried out to sea valves, among other standard drydocking work items. Gibdock also load tested several shipboard cranes and carried out minor steel repair works on deck.
“Despite the significant amount of additional work required to the ship’s tailshaft and propeller, we rose to the occasion and mobilised staff to get this part of the job completed within the allotted time frame,” says Juan Pinero, ship repair manager. “Thanks to good teamwork, the ship was still redelivered on schedule to Uniteam Marine. We hope that based on their positive experience with Ops Hamburg, we will see them back here again soon.”

America is obsessed with weight and in no place does this come into play more than when judging our celebrities. Stars are either too chubby or too skinny, too fat or too frail, rarely are women in the media considered “just right.” It really is a shame, especially when it comes to actresses and entertainers who aren’t skinny Minnies, those whose bodies have curves and an extra pound or two. Here are eight stars who are full-figured and fabulous who make no apologizes for their weight, and shouldn’t EVER.
Full-Figured and Fabulous! 1 of 9
Click through for 8 stars and entertainers who are full-figured and fabulous!
Melissa McCarthy 2 of 9
Melissa McCarthy's career has really taken off since her days on the Gilmore Girls, with such big hits as Bridesmaids and now The Heat. Her size is totally natural and is just how she is. She once said in Good Housekeeping, "I don't really know why I'm not thinner than I am. I don't really drink soda, I don't have a sweet tooth, and we eat healthfully at home. Sometimes I wish I were just magically a size 6 and I never had to give it a single thought. But I am weirdly healthy, so I don't beat myself up about it — it wouldn't help, and I don't want to pass that on to my girls."
Adele 3 of 9
The uber popular Adele is one who wears her weight well, she is always classy and refined. CBS News stated that, "Adele said she rarely thinks about her body image and feels no pressure to be a "skinny-mini" or wear revealing, hyper-sexual clothing."
"Even if I did have, you know, a 'Sports Illustrated' body, I'd still wear elegant clothes," she said.
One thing for sure, she always looks amazing.
Christina Hendricks 4 of 9
Although the Mad Men star once said in an interview that, "I think calling me full-figured is just rude." She does appreciate the kudos she's gotten for her shape.
"It's such a compliment, because of all those times I had agents who were, like, 'You have to lose some weight,' and all of a sudden, people are celebrating it. It's like: 'Oh, thank you! Thank you for letting me be me,'" she told Health.com.
Beth Ditto 5 of 9
The Gossip's Beth Ditto spoke of being plus sized that, "it's really cool that there are people like Adele on the cover of Vogue and Rolling Stone, and like I think it's really important that people are talking about your body, because if they don't, then you'll never be able to break that barrier."
Queen Latifah 6 of 9
Queen Latifah has lost a whole lot of weight and looks amazing! She did so with the help of a trainer and Jenny Craig. She once spoke of being a role model for "big women" saying:
"There's no way I can represent for everyone. I can't represent for all women or all big women or all black women. It's important for people not to make celebrities their source of who they should be in life. I can't take on the pressure of being perfect. Nobody is."
Oprah Winfrey 7 of 9
As a nation we've watched Oprah struggle with her weight. And being Oprah, she of course was very open about it all. She spoke very bluntly about how her weight was was tied to her ego, "I actually thought at the time that being thin made me better." But of course she was wrong.
Rebel Wilson 8 of 9
Rebel Wilson of Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect fame spoke once of her size and the roles she gets saying, "As a comedian, I think, well, obviously I am overweight, and sometimes you have to use what you've got. Like if you've got a big nose and there's a character with a big nose, you're like, "Why not?" I'm not shy about playing characters like that. But I do like to mix it up, so I wouldn't want all my characters to somehow be associated with being big."
Mindy Kaling 9 of 9
The Mindy Project and The Office star wrote in her book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?:
"If someone called me chubby, it would no longer be something that kept me up late at night. Being called fat is not like being called stupid or unfunny, which is the worst thing you could ever say to me. Do I envy Jennifer Hudson for being able to lose all that weight and look smokin' hot? Of course, yes. Do I sometimes look at Gisele Bundchen and wonder how awesome life would be if I never had to wear Spanx? Duh, of course. That's kind of the point of Gisele Bundchen. And maybe I will, once or twice, for a very short period of time. But on the list of things I want to do in my lifetime, that's not near the top. I mean, it's not near the bottom either. I'd say it's right above "Learn to drive a vespa," but several notches below "film a chase scene for a movie."

2025 target to weave reo into schooling
|15 Sep 2017 17:00 PM|
Labour has set 2025 as a target for having te reo Maori integrated into the daily learning of every early childhood, primary and intermediate school pupil.
Launching the policy this morning at Nga Whare Waatea Marae in south Auckland, deputy leader and Te Taitokerau candidate Kelvin Davis said there will be funding for 3000 teachers a year to take courses to give them the confidence and skills to teach the language.
He says resources will be created to weave te reo Maori throughout the curriculum.
"For those parents who say 'I don't want my child to learn te reo,' it removes that ability because parents can's say I don't want my kids to not learn maths, I don't want my kids to not learn reading,' and if te reo was integrated throughout all the subjects it becomes a natural normal part of learning in the New Zealand school environment that te reo is just part of the learning," Mr Davis said.
Labour will also double the number of dedicated scholarships to increase the number of te reo Maori teachers in secondary schools, to ensure that by 2025 there is enough supply to have the language available as an option for all students who choose it.Copyright © 2017, UMA Broadcasting Ltd: www.waateanews.com

Cultural interaction at Hassek Höyük, Turkey. New evidence from pottery analysis
Pottery analysis at Hassek Höyük revealed inconsistencies in the material record, where it is possible to identify a group of hybrid pottery combining stylistic and technological features of both the Uruk and the Syro-Anatolian Late Chalcolithic cultures. This hybrid pottery at Hassek Höyük is interpreted as the work of local craftsmen who, during a period of intensive contact with the Uruk culture, integrated some features of the Uruk pottery into their own production mode. The continuous use of chaff tempered clay shows a strong conservative tendency and argues for a local continuity of craftsmanship. Thus, the pottery production at Hassek is deeply rooted within the local cultural tradition of the Syro-Anatolian Late Chalcolithic. This is a strong argument against the interpretation of the site as being a wellplanned colony erected on virgin soil by a group of foreign Uruk traders.

Legal: With the final hearing on the defamation case between Sonam Phuntsho and defendants Namgay Zam and Dr Shacha Wangmo completed yesterday, a judgment is awaited.
The parties said that they have exhausted their submissions and that they have nothing more to submit on the case.
A businessman, Sonam Phuntsho filed the defamation case against a freelance journalist Namgay Zam and Dr Shacha Wangmo on August 12. He said that the 25 points in Dr Shacha Wangmo’s story, went viral through Namgay Zam’s Facebook page within days.
Sonam Phuntsho said he had been defamed and his family has been shamed. He is claiming Nu 2.59 million as compensation if he wins the case.
“I’m claiming 10 percent of the amount the case is worth,” he said on the first hearing of the case.
Later he added the national minimum wage as he claimed that he should be compensated for the medication he has to take for “mental shock”. The claim fell through as he could not produce a valid medical certificate to prove that he had suffered depression or trauma, as he had claimed.
Namgay Zam had asked the court to dismiss the case as the plaintiff was not defamed, while Dr Shacha Wangmo maintained what she wrote was true.
Namgay Zangmo asked the court to find Sonam Phuntsho, on failing to prove that he has been defamed, guilty of cantankerous litigation.
She said: “The plaintiff, Sonam Phuntsho should be held accountable and made to pay appropriate damages to the defendants.”
The hearings saw the two parties engage in personal attacks as each tried to prove their points on defamation.
The judge has a huge pile of charges and counter charges and evidence submitted to counter allegations from each party as they were diverted from the defamation case, to the property case that has been decided by the judiciary earlier this year.
From the beginning the judge kept reminding the parties to stick to the issue. “The case is about defamation and submission irrelevant to the charge won’t be considered,” Drangpon Kinley Namgyal said.
The case has attracted international attention with news media such as the New York Times, and The Guardian, among others reporting on it.
Within the country, the first hearing on the case saw a packed courtroom and generated lengthy discussions online. The numbers in court, however, has dwindled to half a dozen yesterday at the last hearing on the case.

The subpoenas ask the newspaper to hand over all its correspondence, e-mails and interview notes with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg that are related to the launch of Facebook, said ConnectU co-founder and recent Harvard graduate Tyler Winklevoss.
The Crimson reported this week that its president, Lauren Schuker, would not comply with the subpoenas, which require the newspaper to release all materials by Dec. 1.
According to reports, ConnectU has asked a U.S. district court in Boston to shut down Facebook, which has becomenationwide. The company says about 85 percent of students at nearly 900 colleges using the service.
ConnectU filed the suit against Facebook last year, charging Zuckerberg with stealing the concept for his company from ConnectU's creators.
Winklevoss said that Harvard classmate Zuckerberg had worked for him on a service called Harvard Connection, which eventually morphed into ConnectU. Zuckerberg left Harvard Connection, and the creators of ConnectU learned about Zuckerberg's Facebook from a Crimson article last year, Winklevoss said.
"We were just stunned," he said.
A Facebook representative called the Crimson subpoenas "another development in a case that's been unfounded from the beginning." The company has filed a countersuit charging ConnectU with making false claims.
The Palo Alto, Calif-based Facebook, which debuted almost two years ago, allows students to post and peruse personal profiles on its online classmates directory. ConnectU, based in Greenwich, Conn., launched a few months after Facebook's introduction and has not caught on in the same way.

Since 1960, India’s state-owned Ordnance Factories Board has produced a domestic variant of the British L1A1 inch-pattern semi-auto-only FN FAL, dubbed the Ishapore 1A1. Keep in mind most of the other Commonwealth countries at the time to include Australia, Canada, and New Zealand ran the L1A1 as well.
The FAL had a universal adaptor in the Free World in the 1960s-80s
With as many as 1 million of these 7.62 NATO battle rifles produced, the OFB slowed production in the 1980s and finally closed down the line in 2012 in favor of imported AKM variants from around the globe and locally-made FAL-like INSAS 5.56 NATO rifles, the latter of which had a poor reputation.
However, with India increasingly facing Pakistan and China on its borders in mountainous regions that favor longer-ranged rifles, the country has been looking for a modern 7.62 NATO battle rifle and seems to have found it in the SIG 716. Like the FAL, it is a short-stroke gas piston gun. Unlike the old “Right Arm of the Free World,” however, it is slathered in M-LOK accessory slots, has an adjustable Magpul PLS stock, is a flat-top design that readily supports optics and, most importantly, is in standard production.
India ordered 72,000 last year and just announced plans to pick up another 72,000 this year.
Sig Sauer’s 716-series rifles have proven popular since they were introduced a few years ago. Essentially a 7.62 NATO variant of the company’s SIG516 carbine, it has been offered increasingly as a battle rifle, patrol rifle and designated marksman rifle (DMR), seeing a good bit of adoption in military and police circles. After all, India just ordered 72,400 of them last year.
The problem is, they run well north of $2K, especially for the SIG716G2 series, with is a piston gun.
That’s where the new 716i, with the appeal of being essentially the same gun at half the price, comes in at.
With a lightweight direct impingement system paired with the company’s TREAD line of semi-customization, the 716i is chambered in .308 Winchester. Standard features include a free-floating M-LOK handguard, a 2-stage Matchlite Duo trigger, and an M1913 Mil-Std top-rail for optics.
Using a 16-inch barrel with a 1-in-10 twist, the overall length of the 716i is 37-inches while weight is 8.5-pounds. The barrel has 5/8X24 TPI threads for muzzle devices.

Teenage girl 'goes missing' after bomb blast at Karachi market
KARACHI – A teenage girl has reportedly gone missing after a stampede caused by a blast in the Saddar area of the country’s seaside metropolis this week.
The brother of the missing girl, identified as Sawera, has lodged an FIR at Preedy Police Station, saying that his mother, wife and sister were busy shopping when an explosive device went off in the commercial area of the port city.
He said that his mother, Darakhshan Bibi, passed out and she found after regaining her consciousness that Sawera was missing. The brother of the teen girl said that Sawera was probably kidnapped.
Meanwhile, the law enforcers said they have registered a kidnapping case under section 365 of the Pakistan Penal Code and have started the investigation.
On Thursday, a bomb blast killed at least one person and wounded 13 others. An IED planted on a two-wheeler went off around midnight in the busy Saddar commercial area.
The attackers apparently targeted a van carrying Pakistani maritime security forces. The powerful explosion damaged several vehicles, including the van, and two of the security personnel also suffered injuries.

Book Rating: 7.5/10
Unspoken Promises are worse than lies.
Morgan Kennedy and Lincoln Gates have been in love since high school. Their friends have envied their devotion to not only each other, but also the life they’ve made together. From the outside looking in, their relationship is perfect. One mirrored of fairytales. But behind the door, Morgan isn’t feeling as fulfilled as she once did. She wants more. She wants the glass slipper and the happily ever after.
What Lincoln and Morgan don’t anticipate is that a horrific event is about to make them second-guess their wants.
Sweet, heartbreaking, and highly emotional!
This is a story about relationships, guilt, blame, communication, support, forgiveness, loneliness, intimacy, and love.
The characters are impassioned, flawed and introspective. The writing is clear and fluid. And the plot is a rollercoaster ride of angst-ridden drama, self-loathing, tragedy, romance and soul-searching triggered by the violation of a loved one.
I have to admit, unlike the first novel, I did find this storyline to drag slightly at times and the characters to be excessively frustrating, but overall it was still an intriguing, captivating, and enjoyable read.
This is the second novel in The Unspoken Love Series and even though it can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend you read the first novel in the series, Unspoken Words, first. You can check out my review for Unspoken Words Here!
This novel is available now.

Mary would like to thank all those who offered their support and good wishes. "I found it difficult at the top and was quite nervous (but not as bad as being at the top of a red ski run!). Once I got going it was enjoyable and the views over Oxford were excellent"

Change for change: kids help fund education in Middle East
ARLEE — Some whisper; some chant; some are silent except for the copper clinking in their hands. It’s Pennies for Peace time again in Arlee Elementary teacher Sibley Ligas’ second-grade class, and the youngsters are turning piles of loose change into neat stacks, meticulously counting each and every coin.
After the success of last year’s change collection drive, Ligas decided to have her class participate in the project again by asking the elementary and middle schools to contribute their spare change. Over the last two months, Arlee students in kindergarten through eighth grade raised $181 in change, mostly pennies, for the Central Asia Institute’s Pennies for Peace program. Pennies for Peace takes change collected by American schoolchildren and uses the funds to build schools and buy school supplies in Afghanistan and Pakistan. According to the program’s Web site, “A penny in the United States is virtually worthless, but in Pakistan and Afghanistan a penny buys a pencil and opens the door to literacy.”
Not only do Ligas’ students learn that the value of a penny isn’t just limited to what it can buy in the United States, but they get plenty of hands-on practice during the class’ unit on money. By the time all the coins are counted — the class counted $181 in about two hours Monday morning — the kids are well versed in counting by 5s and 10s. Of course, there was a little geography thrown in, too, so the students understand where their money is going and how it will help kids in another part of the world.
“So it’s part of our curriculum,” Ligas explained. “This is just a perfect way to do it, because it’s a light application.”
Ligas noted that even when experiencing financial trials in today’s economy, the Arlee community always seems ready to help others less fortunate.
“I was very pleased with the amount of money we raised,” she said. “It just goes to show we are such a great community … we’re always ready to help, whether it’s locally or (elsewhere).”

According to Dr. Dianne Berman of Santa Monica College, the advantages of federalism include the ability to experiment with policy, empowerment of local government, opportunities for direct democracy and decentralization of power. The disadvantages of federalism include conflict between regional and national governments and inequality between regional governments.
Federalism allows policy initiatives to fail or succeed on the local level before implementation by national governments. In the United States, this is evident with healthcare and cap-and-trade policies. In the U.S. Constitution, certain powers belong to regional governments while others delegate to the national government. This restricts the ability of all governments to implement policies that are unpopular or ineffective. This separation of powers provides a check on government. Federalism also encourages various allocations of resources because local governments must provide for some of their own expenditures. This leads to disparity between governments. Ambiguity between the powers of the regional and national government also causes conflict.
Three of the founding fathers, James Madison, John Jay and Alexander Hamilton, wrote the "Federalist Papers," which outlined the federal system in the United States. These newspaper articles raised concerns about the system and voiced the advantages of the federal system to avoid tyranny of the minority.Learn More

The Andrew Jackson Centre, also known as the Andrew Jackson Cottage, is the ancestral home of Andrew Jackson, 7th President of the United States. It is located in the village of Boneybefore in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The centre consists of a refurbished traditional thatched Ulster–Scots farmhouse, which is known to have been built in the 1750s and was home to Andrew Jackson's parents shortly before they emigrated to South Carolina in the United States. The interior of the farmhouse is effectively a small museum, consisting of original rooms decorated in the style of that period and featuring an extensive display on the life of Andrew Jackson.
The cottage's grounds feature the US Rangers Centre, which pays homage to the soldiers of the First Battalions of the elite US Rangers, which was first "activated" in neighbouring town Carrickfergus in 1942.
Carrickfergus Borough Council has made recent efforts to make the centre more accessible to tourists. These include the installation of new information plaques in the recent standardised style of those found elsewhere in Carrickfergus, as well as the installation of roadsigns that more clearly show its location. These recent changes were put in place in an attempt to promote the town's historical Ulster-Scots connection to the United States, a connection that many locals take a great deal of pride in.
According to the Discover Northern Ireland website, the Andrew Jackson Centre only opens by appointment and usually caters for school trips.

If you are on the market for a non-lethal, but badass-looking gun, why not consider making one out of little more than cardboard? The process isn't that taxing, but the final piece is well worth the effort.
Follow this guide to find out how.
But first, you'll some materials and gear to get the job done.
With all your tools and materials in hand, it is now time to get on with this epic, but awesome, build.
The first step is to transfer the PDF plans (provided above) to your cardboard. Some parts will need multiple copies, so watch the video in full for details.
Start by making the trigger assembly of the gun, and then build up the main stock, ammo chamber, and barrel.
You will need to use a mixture of glue and wooden pegs to get this done.
With that done, the next bit is the most tricky — making the firing bolt and pin. You'll need a series of paper strips cut to the sizes shown on the PDF plans.
Wind these around a wooden skewer, and glue them into place using superglue. You will need a series of these, so ensure you follow the instructions for the letter.
Without this piece properly constructed, the gun will not work as expected. once done, install inside the main assembly as needed.
With that done, assemble the parts (including a makeshift spring) for the main gun magazine. For bullets, make a series of wooden pegs to fit the magazine and fire through the main barrel.
Install the magazine and check that it engages with the main firing mechanism. Adjust as needed. With that done, install elastic bands, etc., to ensure the gun actually works.
With the basic cardboard gun firing mechanism and ammunition now complete, we can make the gun look more realistic.
Gather up the decorative features you've put out, and begin to install them on the main body of the gun. Where needed assemble the pieces, like the front resting legs, and ventilation grills, muzzle, etc, for the gun.
Create the main scope and install it to the top of the gun as well. This is a dummy item, but you can add lenses if you want to.
For things like dials, strip off one surface sheet of the cardboard to expose the corrugated interior. Wind this around a cylinder of paper, glue it into place, and attach it to the gun where needed.
Add more decorative features to the gun too like the outer details of the magazine and barrel shroud. once done, install the front resting legs of the gun.
Once done, your DIY cardboard .50 cal rifle is finally complete. Now all you need to do is set up something to shoot.
Paper cups work very well, so make a stack of them and give your gun a test fire! Happy days.
If you enjoyed this amazing gun-related build, you might like to expand your collection with a replica cardboard "Tommy" gun?

Owners searching for missing dog after car wreck in April
BLENHEIM — The search continues for a beloved family dog after a wreck in Blenheim at the end of April.
Three-year-old pitbull Mila and her family were in a car crash April 27 at around 9:30 p.m. at the intersection of Donaldson and Fire Tower Roads.
According to family friend Becky Gallant, Mila jumped out the window when it broke.
Owner Brad Siler, who lives in Kernersville, N.C., is offering an $800 reward for her.
Last weekend, Siler came down and camped at the accident site looking for her.
Gallant said the owners love Mila as though she was their child and are heartbroken.
Mila is fawn/tan with white on her chest. She has a pink collar with tags on it and is micro chipped.
Gallant said Mila is extremely friendly.

German street artist Mark Gmehling painted a five-story mural on the former Cruises Only building in 2014, coinciding with the Snap! Attacks exhibition that was being hosted by local art instigators, Snap! Space.
The mural, featuring his trademark “melty” figure with Mickey-like gloves, was Gmehling’s first mural in the United States.
However, due to some recent severe water intrusion issues, the owner was forced to waterproof the exterior of the building to prevent further flooding, which meant covering up Gmehling’s work to preserve the integrity of the structure it was painted on.
Snap! owners, Holly and Patrick Kahn, posted the following message on their gallery’s Facebook account regarding the repairs and some hints about what could possibly be replacing it. Scroll down to see the video they refer to in their post.
Sadly, this is the second mural that Orlando has lost this year, that the Kahn’s have instigated in the City; the first being the short-lived wheat pasted Inside/Out Dreamers mural by another award-winning international artist, JR (Facebook | Website), that was pressure washed away on January 7.
Editor’s Note: The Kahn’s have been hard at work on a secret project that they refer to above as “CITY UNSEEN” which promises to memorialize some of these pieces but we’ve been sworn to secrecy and will be sharing more information at a later date.

she’s grown a little weary of being seen as making deliberate choices to play feminist roles.
From an ambitious secretary in Mad Men to a tough-willed concubine in The Handmaid’s Tale, Elisabeth Moss has always taken on challenging roles.
But the 35-year-old actress revealed that whenever she plays a ‘strong, complicated woman’, the conversation always turns to it being a ‘feminist’ character.
The Emmy winner lamented the fact that for female characters, much of the drama is about ‘overcoming patriarchy’ rather than focusing on a plot in their own right.
Struggles: Elisabeth Moss has revealed that whenever she plays a ‘strong, complicated woman’ the conversation always turns to it being a ‘feminist’ character
‘Obviously, with Mad Men, there was a very specific feminist story. And you can’t get more feminist than The Handmaid’s Tale,’ she told the Daily Telegraph.
‘But I feel like any time you play a strong, complicated woman, then it tends to start comments about it being a ‘feminist’ role.’
She said the issue is that ‘we have been living in a man’s world for so long that a lot of the challenge and drama [for female characters] is about overcoming the patriarchy, so that becomes the thrust of the story’.
Gruelling role: Elisabeth plays Offred, a woman who is forced to live as a concubine and try to bear children in a dystopian society in The Handmaid’s Tale
Elisabeth’s comments come ahead of season two of The Handmaiden’s Tale – which certainly bears a strong correlation with the current climate of female solidarity thanks to the Time’s Up and #metoo movements.
Moss said the final episode in particular is all about women supporting each other – and rings true with today’s battle to end misogyny, sexual harrassment and assault.
She added that she finds herself re-evaluating comments men have made to her in the past – and finding that in today’s climate they would not be acceptable.
Riveting: Moss said the final episode of the upcoming season two in particular is all about women supporting each other – and rings true with today’s battle to end misogyny, sexual harrassment and assault
The star has certainly left her mark in The Handmaid’s Tale, which has become a cultural phenomenon and won five Emmy Awards and two Golden Globes, including one for Best TV drama.
The series, based on Margaret Atwood’s bestselling 1985 novel, follows a dystopian society where women are systematically stripped of their rights.
Elisabeth plays Offred, a woman who is forced to live as a concubine and try to bear children following a civil war in America.
As a result of the conflicts, the Gilead state is established, leaving women without their basic civil rights.
Landmark role: She became a feminist icon as Peggy Olson, a secretary turned copywriter who created opportunities in the advertising world of America in the Fifties
Offred – originally known as June Osborne – being made to have sex with and carry children for Gilead chiefs due to widespread infertility among women.
The program’s first season concluded with a pregnant Offred in hot water with Gilead commanders after breaking the movement’s rules.
To avoid the punishment, Offred slips free of Gilead leadership – spearheaded by Commander Fred (Joseph Fiennes) and wife Serena Joy (Yvonne Strahovski) – and appears to be on the lam with a helping hand from Nick (Max Minghella), whose child she’s expecting.
Gritty role: Moss also garnered critical acclaim as a troubled detective in the BBC crime miniseries Top Of The Lake

Multiple Sclerosis Awareness
Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma
This Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course pivots around Multiple Sclerosis, often called MS in short, an enfeebling condition characterised by possible symptoms ranging from movement anomalies, especially in the limbs, to an absence of balance and sensation. MS primarily impacts the spinal cord or brain and both in certain circumstances. MS is a chronic condition with no ultimate cure. Patients with MS may have moderate to severe disabilities, and their life expectancy may be lowered. However, it may be relieving to know that MS is not fatal. Many treatment options aim toward managing symptoms, enabling patients to lead a healthy and everyday life. The UK has recorded over 100,000 individuals diagnosed with the condition. Although there is no definite age for a person to be diagnosed with MS, the trends point toward individuals between the 20s to 30s. Moreover, there is a threefold increase in the likelihood of women getting diagnosed than men.
This Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course aims to acquaint you with a deep understanding of MS and teach ways to extend your support to an individual or loved one who has fallen prey to the condition. People who are suspected of having MS should first consult their GP to rule out the possibility of other states. After running the required tests, the GP may redirect the candidate to a professional who specialises in the nervous system, called a neurologist. The neurologist may next do an MRI scan, and other procedures to rule out MS. 8 out of 10 people have relapse-remitting MS, which is characterised by new and worsening symptoms, often referred to as relapses. These symptoms usually worsen over a while, lasting weeks or, in severe cases, even months.
In the unfortunate case of an individual undergoing relapse-remitting MS over several years or decades, they may experience secondary progressive MS (SPMS). SPMS is characterised by deteriorating symptoms but without evident attacks. Nevertheless, specific individuals may be bombarded with irregularly occurring relapses. 5 in 10 people ill with relapse-remitting MS develop SPMS. Moreover, the longer an individual has this condition, the higher the risk.
At the outset, this Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course sheds light on the definition of Multiple Sclerosis, enumerates its types, states its prevalence and elucidates its diagnoses. The course goes on to delve deep into the process of diagnosing MS, the accessible treatments, resources and support. It provides an insight into the responsibilities of specialists who treat patients with MS. In the concluding chapters, you will be acquainted with the typical symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis, their effects on people, and ways to manage them. Multiple Sclerosis affects more than 100,000 individuals in the United Kingdom alone. This course is apt for individuals serving in the health care industry, especially those who have just started to care for patients with MS. This Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course will decipher the intricacies of MS, elucidating its causes and consequences, plus ways to identify symptoms and tips for management of those symptoms. This Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Diploma course is outlined to instil confidence in those wanting to extend emotional and physical support to an individual or loved one who has fallen victim to this enfeebling condition.
