People underestimate the debilitating affect of asthma, it can be extremely time-consuming and frustrating to those suffering on a daily basis.

What is it? Asthma is a long-term, common lung condition which can be triggered by various things, resulting in difficulties breathing efficiently. An experience of obstructed breathing is initiated when the smooth muscles of the bronchioles, becomes constricted due to excess mucus secretion or inflammation. It’s not curable! 

Types of asthma: 

Nocturnal asthma (affects the important sleep/wake cycles)

Exercise-induced asthma

Seasonal asthma

Allergic asthma

Occupational asthma

Cough-variant asthma

How can I get help for my asthma? Getting help is important to learn how to manage asthma, depending on the frequency and severity of your asthma. Medical practitioners can diagnose asthma and help you effectively manage this change in lifestyle, it may be hard at first. Organisations such as ‘Asthma Australia’ and ‘National Asthma Council’ offer support services and extensive information for asthmatics, as well as their families. 

Week Eleven - Feedback

For our last class before presentations, we spoke to another person about how our final project was going, specifically answering the question “What is it?” and describing what we were going to make. I spoke to both Sarah and Sophie about how I was planning on making 12 gifs, with each gif having one word describing the emotion I felt during each week. Their feedback was to use images as well as text, and to include motion that links to my reflections on each week.

What is a "subpoena duces tecum?"  Sounds fancy, doesn't it?  It is simple actually.  A subpoena duces tecum is a subpoena for records.  These can be issued by the Court of by a licensed lawyer in an ongoing litigation.  In most cases, the person receiving the subpoena can simply send the records to either the lawyer requesting them or to the court and that-is-that.  In some cases, however, the records might be private or covered by legal confidentiality.  When that is the case, the recipient can (by themselves or through a lawyer) file a "Motion to Quash" (sounds like squash - right?)  LOL.  A Motion to Quash asks the Court to nullify the subpoena.  It can also ask the Court to permit submission of the records exclusively to the Court to make a determination in-camera as to the suitable nature of the request and for the Court to decide what to release.

Did it not fit, and he knew that going in?

Did they decide he didn’t need it?
