Two-year old Corbin Ness was born just a few hours before Halloween, so the holiday holds a special place for his parents Kelly and Justin. His first Halloween costume was a newborn baby’s blanket. A year later, Corbin’s parents dressed him up for the holiday as a happy, bug-eyed minion, from the computer-animated comedy Despicable Me. But after New Year’s, Corbin started acting less than happy due to an ongoing series of ear infections. Each lasting about a week and recurring every month. This despite several courses of antibiotics from his pediatrician.
“It’s very common among young children because the Eustachian tubes in their ears haven’t come into their proper position yet,” says Dr. Joseph Scianna of Northern Illinois ENT Specialists in Sycamore. He’s the specialist Corbin’s pediatrician

He (Dr. Scianna) was rubbing his back and talking to him,” Kelly remembers.
After what seemed like an eternity (but was only about 5 minutes) Dr. Scianna came out to the waiting room to tell Justin and Kelly that the operation a success, and within 10 minutes Corbin was back in their arms. Dr. Scianna told Kelly and Justin that they might see some bleeding in Corbin’s ears the first day or two or a slight fever, but that was normal and to be expected. By lunchtime on the day of surgery, to his parent’s great relief, he was already playing and acting normally.
Within a few days, something unexpected did happen. Corbin, became much more verbal, even starting to sing for the first time.
“Justin and I were in the kitchen when all of a sudden, we heard Corbin trying to sing his ABC’s for the very first time.’”
“We were amazed,” Kelly recalls still excited. “He had never done anything like that before.”
“Corbin has had a couple of minor colds since the surgery and fluid has drained out of his ears…just the way it’s supposed to and for the first time in as long as we can remember, a cold did not turn into a horrible ear infection,” explains
Silas Deane was born to a blacksmith in Groton Connecticut. After climbing his way up the political ladder he was selected to go to France twice, the second of which was with two other prominent figures of the time, Benjamin Franklin and Arthur Lee. There they arranged a treaty of alliance with France. However he was not on good terms with at least one of his travel partners. Arthur Lee accused Deane of using his advantages to make a private fortune. Although the allegations were never proved, Deane was recalled from his position of Minister Plenipotentiary and it was all downhill from this point, as in 1781 he had written questionable letters stating that newfounded America should "patch up their quarrel with England." These letters were intercepted
Caesar Rodney, the first of the delegation from Delaware, was a native of that state, and was born about the year 1730. His birth-place was Dover. The family, from which he was descended, was of ancient date, and is honorably spoken of in the history of early times. We read of Sir Walter De Rodeney, of Sir George De Rodeney, and Sir Henry De Rodeney, with several others of the same name, even earlier than the year 1234. Sir Richard De Rodeney accompanied the gallant Richard Coeur de Lion in his crusade to the Holy Land, where he fell, while fighting at the siege of Acre.

NEARLY 2 decades ago, in a far-off gym in ice-cold Canada, Dylan Ennis never wanted his teammates to know he was the coach's son. He wanted to be like all the other kids under the AAU basketball roof.
Craig Sanders was not who you would call an honest man. He was born into poverty in the outskirts of Chicago and, at the age of six, saw his mother stabbed to death by his father. Soon after he found himself swaddled with attention by concerned strangers and neighbors. Churches started giving him more things than he had ever had in his life- New clothes, meals that weren’t PB&J sandwiches, and a TV with movies to watch.

Chris Henry’s tragic story, just one example of a former athlete’s life ending due to tragic circumstances. A twelve year veteran of the Minnesota Vikings, Fred McNeill, went on to finish law school after his retirement from the NFL. He was
History is often said to be “what has happened in the past,” and a historian’s job is to bring that information back, without distorting it. This undistorted passing of history is often times may not always be achieved, and the story of the death of Silas Deane is a great example of that
“I’m leaving you!” or “I want a divorce!” Is what we hear now a days by women or men, but it wasn’t as easy back in the 1800s for women they had no rights, their “job was to be a meek, obedient, loving wife who was totally subservient to the men.”(Laura Donnaway). Women couldn’t leave their husbands just because they didn’t love them no more or they caught in affairs because they wouldn’t get anything because “all of her inheritance (if any existed) would belong to her husband.” (Kelley Smith). Which is why many women had to live with being treated like objects instead of human beings.
When most people think of their childhood they remember fond memories of traditions they had with friends and family, such as Christmas Eve or something as simple as a family game night. Many of these traditions are carried down through generations and have a significant role in communities and teaching youth important values. These traditions shape our culture and allow us to generalize a country or area by simply listing off common traditions. However, it seems as though the values these traditions teach, both religious and social, seem to be evolving to fit an ever changing and more connected modern world. The question that remains, however, is if these values are evolving fast enough for a more forward thinking generation. Many would say
This evidence meets the criteria for a filtered source. It was sourced online from the Official Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics and Family Physicians. Specialists from multi medical disciplines assembled to create an integrative systematic study and review of the current evidence- based literature available for the treatment and management of Acute Otitis Media (AOM). The conclusions and findings were utilized to devise guidelines and a practice protocol that recommended early diagnosis and makes
But Bruce Conner's exposure to images was already in the late 1950s, before he had gained a place in the American art world through painting and Assemblage, especially his collection art ( Assemblage), for his early artistic career gained extensive attention. Assemblage (Art of Assemblage), for the post-modern art schools, appeared in the 1950s. Artists usually put together the wastes of consumer civilization and the pieces of machinery that can be found or picked up around them, making them an art of three-dimensional works. Bruce Conner (Bruce Conner) as the leader of this art form, pioneered the use of nylon stockings wrapped in a variety of materials for the collection art. He put together pieces of discarded furniture, worn-out dolls,
Acute Otitis Media (AOM), inflammation or infection of the middle ear, is an illness most parents have had experience with. Countless hours of lost sleep and worry secondary to their child’s pain and distress can keep even the most seasoned parents awake at night. Before the age of 36 months, 83% of children will experience 1 or more ear infections and AOM is the most common reason for office visits of preschoolers in the United States (Zhou, Shefer, Kong & Nuorti, 2008). The graphic below serves as a review of evidence and explores the usefulness of the information in relation to the option of watchful waiting in the management of AOM.
