After he contracted motor neurone disease he started off with a skateboard but eventually found the wheelchair to be more practical.

Lou Gehrig's disease ... or Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amyotrophic_lateral_sclerosis

 

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as motor neurone disease or Lou Gehrig's disease, is a disease that causes the death of neurons controlling voluntary muscles. Some (

  ... as Stiggs) also use the term motor neuron disease for a group of conditions of which ALS is the most common.

Duck-Duck-Go search is very resourceful ...  with We-Don't-Follow-You-Around (with the adverts) ... bonus.

 

 Does anybody else use search engines ... or is it only me? 

 

 

Did you know that if you include smiley or two, e-Tities always rewards you with extra pints?

He needed a gimmick to become famous and wanted a motorbike but couldn't afford it so he stole a wheelchair from the local hospital... The rest is history.

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have been from a reputable college. If it came from a degree mill that definitely would be a problem. You should not worry about how they will contact this place. If the degree is considered authentic the people will know where to go to inquire. In my case I needed a copy of my diploma and one company in China recommended a Clearinghouse that was able to verify my degrees. They did not provide copies of the diploma, though. If the place where you received this degree is acceptable in your country then, it should be acceptable in China.Another point to consider you stated it was an MS degree. I have not aware of any programs that allow students to hop from a high school education to a Masters degree level education. With that said maybe you received a Bachelors degree. If that is the case submit that information.  I would not encourage you to lie. In that you definitely will not have any paper trail to back up your story. Some companies do not accept TEFL online especially if it came from International Open Academy. That place is a one room office. I would consider that a TEFL mill. It was such a waste of time.Do you have the ability to do searches online? -- slspringer22
