Sleep and Your 1- to 2-Year-Old
Toddlers are more and more aware of their surroundings, so distractions might disrupt them at bedtime. Their growing imaginations can start to interrupt sleep too.
Now more than ever, a simple and consistent bedtime routine is a parent's best bet for getting a sleepy toddler snugly into bed.
How Much Sleep Does My Toddler Need?
Between the ages of 1 and 2, most kids need about 11–14 hours of sleep a day, including one or two daytime naps.
At around 18 months, or sometimes sooner, most toddlers condense their two naps into one afternoon nap. A toddler who fights the morning nap is probably ready for just an afternoon nap.
Where Should My Toddler Sleep?
Your 1- to 2-year-old should still sleep in a safe, secure crib. Before a child's first birthday, blankets are not recommended because of the possible risk of SIDS. But at this age, it's OK to put a light blanket in your child's crib. Also, security items like "lovies" (a small soft blanket or stuffed animal) are OK and can provide a lot of comfort. But don't put any extra-large soft toys or stuffed animals in the crib.
Watch out for items with ties or strings that could wind up around your toddler's neck. Be on constant lookout for nearby objects your child might be able to reach from a standing position in the crib: curtains, window blind pulls, pictures, or wall hangings are all possibilities.
Helping Your Toddler Sleep
While nighttime feedings may be over, you might still be struggling to get your toddler to sleep. Learn how to help your toddler sleep well and instill good sleep habits early.
Your curious toddler may be looking for ways to climb over the crib railing to "break out" of the crib. Don't leave a lot of toys that your child could pile up and climb onto. And remember: No bumper pads — a child might use those as a step at this age.
If you have an active climber who is getting out of the crib, make sure that the crib mattress is on the lowest possible setting. If it is, and your toddler is still trying to scale the crib, consider moving him or her into a toddler bed or "big kid" bed with a side rail. It will be hard at first to keep your toddler in it, but at least you'll know your child won't be hurt climbing out of a crib. For added safety, install a gate in the doorway of the room so that your child can't wander around the house. Be sure your child's room is childproofed.
Why Does My Toddler Wake at Night?
Your toddler may begin waking up at night. Sometimes it's because of discomfort, such as teething pain or illness. Sometimes it's due to mild separation anxiety: "Where's Mommy? Where's Daddy?"
Dreams and nightmares can begin to affect toddlers, who have a hard time telling these from reality. Be mindful of books your toddler sees just before bedtime, and keep the content mild. If your child doesn't have a comfort item like a lovie or blankey, consider getting one to help provide reassurance.
Time spent with screens (like a TV or tablet) can disrupt a child's sleep. That's one reason why health experts recommend:
- limiting screen time
- keeping toddlers away from screen devices in the hour before bedtime
- not keeping devices in a child's bedroom
Check for other causes of your toddler's nighttime awakenings. Toddlers often push off the covers at night, so in the colder months you might want to dress your child in heavy pajamas for warmth.
Is there too much noise coming from another room? Toddlers will learn to sleep with some noise, but a loud TV or too much conversation close by can be disrupting. Check out your child's room from a noise perspective. Make it someplace you would sleep soundly and chances are you'll make it more comfortable for your toddler.
How Can I Help My Toddler Sleep?
By now you've probably found the right combination — like a warm bath and a bedtime story — to help your child relax. Stay with it and don't let it get too long. The backrub that seems like a treat now may not be so fun when it's demanded night after night for longer and longer periods. Decide how many drinks of water you'll allow and how many times you'll get the toy that's thrown out of the crib in defiance of bedtime.
Get used to setting the rules and sticking to them. This not only helps your child get more sleep now, but also helps you later if other, more serious discipline problems arise.
If your toddler wakes in the middle of the night, you'll still want to quietly and quickly provide reassurance that everything is OK and you are close by. But too much interaction can backfire, so keep your nighttime "visits" brief and boring for your toddler.
If you have an early riser, help keep sunlight from waking your toddler by keeping curtains or blinds closed. Also try putting a few safe toys in the crib — they may keep your child busy in the morning.
When Should I Call the Doctor?
Talk with your doctor about any sleep problems that seem severe to you, such as recurring nightmares.

The annual accounting scheme helps small businesses by allowing them to submit only one VAT return annually rather than the normal four. The scheme is intended to help with budgeting and cash flow and reduce paperwork. If you are starting or have recently started a business we, at MMTI Ltd, can advise you on the annual accounting scheme.
HMRC have introduced a number of VAT schemes over the years designed to reduce the administrative burden on small businesses. One such scheme is the annual accounting scheme.
The annual accounting scheme helps small businesses by allowing them to submit only one VAT return annually rather than the normal four. During the year they pay instalments based on an estimated liability for the year with a balancing payment due with the return. The scheme is intended to help with budgeting and cash flow and reduce paperwork.
A business can apply to join the scheme if it expects taxable supplies in the next 12 months will not exceed £1,350,000.
Businesses must be up to date with their VAT returns and cannot register as a group of companies.
Application to join the scheme must be made on form 600(AA) which can be found on the GOV.UK website or via a link in the online version of VAT Notice 732. HMRC will advise the business in writing if the application is accepted.
Businesses that have been registered for 12 months or more will pay their VAT in nine monthly instalments of 10% of the previous year's liability. The instalments are payable at the end of months 4-12 of the current annual accounting period.
Alternatively such businesses may choose to pay their VAT in three quarterly instalments of 25% of the previous year's liability falling due at the end of months 4, 7 and 10.
The balance of VAT for the year is then due together with the VAT return two months after the end of the annual accounting period.
Businesses that have not been registered for at least 12 months may still join the scheme but each instalment – whether monthly or quarterly – is based on an estimate of the VAT liability.
In all cases HMRC will advise the amount of the instalments to be paid.
The annual accounting period will usually begin at the start of the quarter in which the application is made. If the application is made late in a quarter it may begin at the start of the next quarter.
All businesses are able to apply to HMRC to change the level of the instalments if business has increased or decreased significantly.
Any business can leave the scheme voluntarily at any time by writing to HMRC.
A business can no longer be in the scheme once its annual taxable turnover exceeds £1,600,000.
Interim payments may be higher than needed because they are based on the previous year. However, it is possible to apply to HMRC for an adjustment if the difference is significant.
A business is obliged to notify HMRC if the VAT liability is likely to be significantly higher or lower than in the previous year.
If you are starting, or have recently started a business we, at MMTI Ltd can help you to plan your VAT administration and consider with you whether the annual accounting scheme would be beneficial for your business.

What Is Variable Life Insurance?
The insurance industry has introduced different types of insurance to meet consumer needs. For example, universal life insurance was created to provide a solution for many of the perceived shortcomings of whole life insurance and term life insurance. (See "What Is Universal Life Insurance?")
When consumers demanded even more changes from the life insurance industry, it responded with variable life insurance and the concept of investment control. Whereas whole life insurance provides fixed rates of return on the account value, at rates determined by the insurance company, variable life insurance provides the policyholder with investment discretion over the account value portion of the policy.
If you own a variable life policy, you may allocate your account value among a variety of investment subaccounts. The premiums you pay are fixed throughout the life of the contract, while the performance of your chosen subaccounts determines the growth of your account value, and can also determine the value of your death benefit.
There are usually several subaccount options to choose from, including stock, bond, and fixed-interest options. You can allocate your account value as you see fit, and you can be as conservative or aggressive as you wish.
A possible disadvantage is that the premiums of a variable life insurance policy generally are fixed and cannot be adjusted if your financial situation changes. A variable life policy does provide you with a guaranteed death benefit. If your subaccounts perform poorly, the death benefit could decline, but never below a defined level specified in the policy. Of course, any guarantees are contingent on the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
Withdrawals may be subject to surrender charges and are taxable if you withdraw more than your basis in the policy. Policy loans or withdrawals will reduce the policy's cash value and death benefit, and may require additional premium payments to keep the policy in force.
In sum, variable life offers the flexibility to design your own portfolio, together with the security of a guaranteed death benefit. As long as you pay your fixed premiums, your death benefit cannot go away. This is not the case with universal life insurance or variable universal life insurance.
The cost and availability of life insurance depend on factors such as age, health, and the type and amount of insurance purchased. As with most financial decisions, there are expenses associated with the purchase of life insurance. Generally, policies have contract limitations, fees, and charges, which can include mortality and expense charges, account fees, underlying investment management fees, administrative fees, and charges for optional benefits. In addition, if a policy is surrendered prematurely, there may be surrender charges and income tax implications. There may also be additional fees on changes associated with a variable universal life policy that are not associated with other investment products. Variable life policies are not guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency; they are not deposits of, nor are they guaranteed or endorsed by, any bank or savings association. The investment return and principal value of an investment option are not guaranteed. Because variable life subaccounts fluctuate with changes in market conditions, the principal may be worth more or less than the original amount invested when the annuity is surrendered.
Depending on your situation, variable life is an option to consider. If you are considering purchasing life insurance, consult a professional to explore your options.
Variable life insurance is sold by prospectus. Please consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, expenses, and your need for death-benefit coverage carefully before investing. The prospectus, which contains this and other information about the variable life policy and the underlying investment options, can be obtained from your financial professional. Be sure to read the prospectus carefully before deciding whether to invest.

How does this medication work? What will it do for me?
Gabapentin belongs to the class of medications called anti-epileptics. It is used in combination with other seizure control medications to manage and prevent seizures associated with epilepsy. Gabapentin does not cure epilepsy and only works to control seizures as long as the medication is taken. Gabapentin works by affecting the transmission of nerve signals in the brain.
This medication may be available under multiple brand names and/or in several different forms. Any specific brand name of this medication may not be available in all of the forms or approved for all of the conditions discussed here. As well, some forms of this medication may not be used for all of the conditions discussed here.
Your doctor may have suggested this medication for conditions other than those listed in these drug information articles. If you have not discussed this with your doctor or are not sure why you are taking this medication, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.
Do not give this medication to anyone else, even if they have the same symptoms as you do. It can be harmful for people to take this medication if their doctor has not prescribed it.
What form(s) does this medication come in?
Priva-Gabapentin is no longer being manufactured for sale in Canada. For brands that may still be available, search under gabapentin. This article is being kept available for reference purposes only. If you are using this medication, speak with your doctor or pharmacist for information about your treatment options.
How should I use this medication?
The usual recommended adult dose of gabapentin begins with 300 mg 3 times daily. Your doctor may increase your dosage depending on how well it works and how well you tolerate it. The usual maximum daily dose is a total of 900 mg to 1,800 mg divided into 3 equal doses. Occasionally, it may be necessary to increase the total daily dose to as much as 2,400 mg, however higher doses generally cause more side effects. Gabapentin may be taken with or without food.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
This medication should not be stopped suddenly, as seizures may return. If you feel it is necessary to stop this medication, discuss the most appropriate schedule with your doctor.
It is important that this medication be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is less than 4 hours until your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. To prevent breakthrough seizures, no more than 12 hours should pass between doses. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
Store this medication at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children.
Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

These factors may affect how you should use this medication.
September 17, 2019
Health Canada has issued new restrictions concerning the use of gabapentin. To read the full Health Canada Advisory, visit Health Canada's web site at healthycanadians.gc.ca.
Alcohol and other medications that cause drowsiness: People taking this medication should not combine it with alcohol and avoid combining it with other medications that cause drowsiness, such as narcotic pain relievers or sedatives. Doing so can cause additional drowsiness and reduced breathing, which can be dangerous and possibly life threatening.
Difficulty breathing: Gabapentin can cause serious and life-threatening breathing problems. If you have breathing or lung problems, decreased kidney function, are taking other medications that can slow breathing, or if you are a senior, you are more at risk of experiencing breathing difficulties. If you experience slowed breathing or difficulty breathing, seek immediate medical attention.
Drowsiness/reduced alertness: If you have uncontrolled epilepsy, do not drive or handle potentially dangerous machinery. Gabapentin may cause drowsiness, dizziness, or problems with coordination. Avoid any activity requiring mental alertness or physical coordination until you determine how gabapentin affects you.
Hypersensitivity syndrome: A severe allergic reaction called hypersensitivity syndrome has occurred for some people with the use of gabapentin. Stop taking the medication and get immediate medical attention if you have symptoms of a severe allergic reaction, including fever, swollen glands, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or flu-like symptoms with skin rash or blistering.
Kidney function: Kidney disease or reduced kidney function may cause this medication to build up in the body, causing side effects. If you have reduced kidney function or kidney disease, discuss with your doctor how this medication may affect your medical condition, how your medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of this medication, and whether any special monitoring is needed.
Opioid overdose risk: Using gabapentin in combination with opioid pain medications such as codeine, morphine, or oxycodone can increase the risk of opioid overdose and serious side effects such as decreased breathing, sedation, dizziness, fainting, and death. People who are taking gabapentin in combination with opioids should be monitored carefully for increased side effects.
Stopping the medication: As with other medications used to control seizures, stopping gabapentin suddenly could increase the risk of seizures. Do not stop gabapentin suddenly. Ask your doctor how to safely and gradually stop the medication.
Suicidal or agitated behaviour: People taking this medication may feel agitated (restless, anxious, aggressive, emotional, and feeling not like themselves), or they may want to hurt themselves or others. If you experience these side effects or notice them in a family member who is taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately. You should be closely monitored by your doctor for emotional and behaviour changes while taking this medication.
Pregnancy: Gabapentin crosses the placenta and may harm the developing baby if it is taken by the mother while she is pregnant. It should not be used during pregnancy unless the benefits outweigh the risks. If you become pregnant while taking this medication, contact your doctor immediately.
Breast-feeding: This medication passes into breast milk. If you are a breast-feeding mother and are taking gabapentin, it may affect your baby. Talk to your doctor about whether you should continue breast-feeding.
Children: The safety and effectiveness of using this medication have not been established for children.
Seniors: Seniors are at an increased risk of side effects and may require a dose of this medication that is lower than usual due to reduced kidney function.
What other drugs could interact with this medication?
There may be an interaction between gabapentin and any of the following:
- alcohol
- antacids containing magnesium or aluminum
- antihistamines (e.g., cetirizine, doxylamine, diphenhydramine, hydroxyzine, loratadine)
- antipsychotics (e.g., chlorpromazine, clozapine, haloperidol, olanzapine, quetiapine, risperidone)
- azelastine

I took my son Ben to the debate, not because I thought he would get much out of it, but because I had him for the evening and I figured it couldn't do him any harm. I gave him a six year old eye view of the creationism controversy, building on stuff I already told him about Galileo about religion's frequent stance against science, and touching on the Scopes trial as well as talking about the evolution controversy today. Matt D. was in attendance and so were at least two other ACA members that I'm aware of, Don Rhoades (not Baker) and Annie.
In my perception, the debate was an unmitigated disaster. The debate was a prime example of everything I've been saying in these posts about how atheists and science defenders continually get suckered into debates where the theist controls the format, the topic, and the crowd. It's almost enough to make me give my unconditional support to Eugenie Scott when she warns that you should seriously consider not debating at all.
When I talked to Matt last night he seemed to disagree, and if he doesn't chime in we'll be discussing it on The Non-Prophets this weekend. I plan to write several posts in this series, so you can see the updates quickly but still get around to all my notes eventually.
For now, here's a quick list of grievances:
- Turnout. It was very clear that churches hyped the hell out of this. This was a big gymnasium filled with folding chairs; in the lobby there were at least three tables loaded with Christian apologetics books, and none on the atheist side. Without exception, every conversation I heard that did not involve an ACA member was dismissive of evolution.
- Format. Oh my dear FSM, what happened? Ross and Rana both got to speak uninterrupted back to back before Michael Shermer got up. Between them -- I timed this -- Ross and Rana clocked in at an hour and fifteen minutes, while Michael Shermer got just over thirty. The other two members got face time, but no presentation. By the time Shermer was done, people were already starting to leave anyway.
- Topic. Was there one? The proposed topic going in was "Was Darwin Wrong?" which is bad enough. (Yes, of course Darwin was wrong. Duh. Evolution isn't wrong but Darwin was wrong about a great many aspects of it.) However, they didn't make any pretense of discussing this topic. The opening PowerPoint slide said "Evolution & Intelligent Design," then Hugh Ross proceeded to say he was not going to talk about Intelligent Design because he would be promoting a Christian "testable theory." Any kind of constraints on the discussion were thrown out the window from the first minute.
- Sponsorship and moderation. The debate was sponsored by one or several Christian groups, and some guy from the UT Engineering department announced at the beginning that the department had also sponsored it, although this didn't imply that they condone anything that was said. But rather than moderating, the chair introduced the speakers, and then two hours later used some Q&A time to further bash the evolution side and speak about the importance of mixing some religion in your science. (Matt was actually under the impression that he was billed on the creationist side. I looked up the fliers. He was not.)

Sedation Dentist Houston, TX
If you need to have dental work completed, we recommend visiting a sedation dentist. At Midtown Dental - The Gallery of Smiles, we offer sedation dentistry for patients living in and around the Houston area. We understand that for millions of adults, visiting the dentist can be an overwhelming or frightening experience due to dental anxiety. This common condition typically starts with a negative experience or becoming fearful of the general idea of dentistry. While common, you do not have to be concerned about visiting our dentist office because we work to ensure your comfort the entire time.
What You Need to Know About Sedation Dentistry
When you schedule an appointment with us, let us know if you have dental anxiety so that we can prepare for your visit accordingly. For many people, the actual procedure is not uncomfortable but it is the anxiety and worry that causes angst. With this in mind, we often prescribe an oral sedative or laughing gas that can be administered prior to the appointment to help a person relax. While this is not a pain killer, it eases the fear and relaxes the body so that you can remain peaceful while having teeth cleaned, or dental work performed. While the dosage is different, laughing gas can be used on both children and adults so that all of our Houston patients can remain comfortable.
Types of Sedation Dentistry
There are various levels and types of sedation. During your consultation, we will discuss the recommended procedure with you along with any anxieties you may have. At that time, a recommendation will be made for the type of sedation you may want to consider. The ultimate decision is up to you based on how you believe you will handle the procedure. In many cases, our patients simply need to relax and prefer to use laughing gas in order to do so. It is quick, effective, and wears off when the procedure is finished without impairing any other bodily functions. Some patients use this to relax when getting their teeth cleaned since there is no actual pain associated with the treatment.
When a cavity is being treated or other minor dental work performed, patients may prefer to use a combination of laughing gas and localized pain medication. After numbing the surface of the gums, we can inject pain medication that numbs the area that is being worked on. As a sedation dentist, this is an effective tool for us to prevent and eliminate any discomfort. We can administer as much medication as is necessary throughout the course of the treatment, and only that specific area will remain numb. The benefit of this type of sedation is how localized it is. For example, if a cavity is being treated on one side of the mouth, the other side will remain fully functional. This way you can eat immediately after the treatment while the numbing effect wears off the other side.
If a more intensive procedure is required, patients may prefer IV medication for a more thorough effect. When sedation is administered through this means the numbing effect is more pervasive and not confined to that one specific area of the mouth. It is extremely effective and as a sedation dentist, we find that many of our patients request this type of medication because they want to ensure that they do not feel anything while having dental work performed. If this is the case, the effect can still wear off fairly quickly after the treatment is over, but we do recommend having a friend or family member drive you home just in case.
For those needing oral surgery, total sedation may be necessary or preferable. This is often referred to as sleep dentistry because a patient is put to sleep and will not remember anything from the procedure. As a sedation dentist, we find that this is an excellent solution when a patient is getting a full smile makeover. When the majority of teeth are being worked on, the procedure can take a significant amount of time. We need to do dental work with precision and that requires not rushing through the procedure. With that in mind, our Houston patients may find it difficult to hold still when the treatment lasts longer than an hour or two. Going to sleep is a much better option because your body will naturally remain still, you will feel comfortable and not remember what took place during the treatment. If this is your preferred method of sedation dentistry, we will monitor you carefully during the treatment and afterwards to ensure that the anesthesia wears off like it should. You will also need to have someone drive you home and may feel slightly sluggish for the remainder of the day. These types of procedures typically call for rest and relaxation anyway, so take it easy at home before resuming normal activity the next day.

We will also need to know if you have any other health issues, risks, or are allergic to anything. Typically, if you have responded well to pain medication or sedation in other medical treatments, you will do well with sedation dentistry and not experience any negative side effects.

Full Force Bronze Sculpture by Mark Hopkins is a limited edition sculpture that comes with a certificate of authenticity. Made In The USA.
image Copyright © 2024 by Mark Hopkins
Mark Hopkins is considered one of the premier sculptors in the United States today. From tabletop sculpture to monuments, his work is displayed in homes, offices, and public settings around the world. Mark Hopkins' work is in everyway, a reflection of its creator. It reveals Mark's total fascination with nearly every conceivable aspect of life: from history, children, sports, music and religion to wildlife of the land, sea and air. With a style so flowing and alive it has been called "bronze in motion," the work is as passionate and expressive as the artist himself. For as long as he can remember, Mark has been captivated by form and design. From the time he was young boy, with the encouragement of family and teachers, he worked to develop his innate talent, and explore the various techniques and mediums of sculpture. In addition to his skill as an artist, Mark made himself a technical expert in the art of "lost wax" bronze casting. At the Mark Hopkins Sculpture foundry, Mark monitors the casting process, insuring that the integrity of his work is maintained throughout its creation in bronze. With the help of many talented craftsmen, Mark endeavors to establish an enduring legacy of high-quality bronze sculpture. It has taken half a lifetime for Mark to attain his preeminent status in the world of art. For many years, the necessity of providing for his large family took Mark into other, more traditional vocations. Throughout those years, though, Mark never stopped sculpting. He knew in his heart that it was the work he was born to do. From the many challenges and experiences of his life came a remarkably unique style of art. Mark Hopkins constantly challenges himself to translate the richness of life and nobility of the human soul into enduring sculptural form. In his words, "I strive to express beyond the image, to catch spirit, to reveal deeper emotions, and to share joy." As he continues to rise to that challenge, his work is attaining an honored place in the history of art.

The popular MO question "Famous mathematical quotes" has turned up many examples of witty, insightful, and humorous writing by mathematicians. Yet, with a few exceptions such as Weyl's "angel of topology," the language used in these quotes gets the message across without fancy metaphors or what-have-you. That's probably the style of most mathematicians.
Occasionally, however, one is surprised by unexpectedly colorful language in a mathematics paper. If I remember correctly, a paper of Gerald Sacks once described a distinction as being
as sharp as the edge of a pastrami slicer in a New York delicatessen.
Another nice one, due to Wilfred Hodges, came up on MO here.
The reader may well feel he could have bought Corollary 10 cheaper in another bazaar.
What other examples of colorful language in mathematical papers have you enjoyed?

Doctors have been putting in a lot of ear tubes. It's the most common outpatient surgery in children.
Despite how common the tubes are, it's been hard for parents to know if and when a child should get them. "Pediatricians are confused about it too," says Dr. Richard Rosenfeld, chairman of otolaryngology at SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. "And ENT doctors."
To reduce the confusion, the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery has issued the first guidelines on ear tubes, officially known as tympanostomy tubes.
The tiny tubes are placed in the eardrum to drain fluid from the middle ear. The idea is to reduce the risk of repeat ear infections and hearing loss. About 7 percent of children have tubes by age 3. It's a $3 billion-a-year business, Rosenfeld says, and not all of those kids benefit.
Children often get fluid in their ears after ear infections, but the fluid usually goes away on its own, even if it's been there for several months.
The new guidelines say that tubes should not be considered in children who have had fluid in the ears for less than three months.
Children with repeated ear infections also don't always need tubes, the guidelines say. "That's different than what's being done in a lot of practices," Rosenfeld, who chaired the guideline committee, tells Shots. In many cases the infections clear up on their own.
Candidates for tubes include children with frequent ear infections and fluid that never really clears up, as well as kids with fluid and other symptoms such as hearing loss, balance problems and poor school performance.
Children with symptoms of autism may also need tubes, the guidelines say, because the short-term hearing issues that comes with fluid in the ear can compound their issues.
The big news for children who already have tubes is that they almost certainly don't need ear plugs or neoprene headbands to swim. This apparatus is often prescribed to keep water out of the tubes.
"You don't need to worry," Rosenfeld says. The tubes are so small that a child would have to swim more than 6 feet deep to push water through the hole into the ear, he says. "They can swim, bathe, jump in the pool, go to the beach. You don't need to keep water out of the ears."
So then why are ear doctors recommending this stuff? The big clinical trial showing that ear plugs don't reduce ear infections was done in 2005.
"The evidence on this is not new," Rosenfeld agrees. "It just hasn't been disseminated and implemented in practice."
If the message catches hold this time, it may get even more crowded at the pool!

Apache HTTP Server Version 2.4
Description: | Determines the MIME type of a file by looking at a few bytes of its contents |
Status: | Extension |
Module Identifier: | mime_magic_module |
Source File: | mod_mime_magic.c |
This module determines the MIME
type of files in the same way the Unix
command works: it looks at the first few
bytes of the file. It is intended as a "second line of defense"
for cases that mod_mime
can't resolve.
This module is derived from a free version of the
command for Unix, which uses "magic
numbers" and other hints from a file's contents to figure out
what the contents are. This module is active only if the magic
file is specified by the MimeMagicFile
The contents of the file are plain ASCII text in 4-5
columns. Blank lines are allowed but ignored. Commented lines
use a hash mark (#
). The remaining lines are parsed for
the following columns:
Column | Description | ||||||||||||||||||||||
1 | byte number to begin checking from " > " indicates a dependency upon the previous
non-"> " line | ||||||||||||||||||||||
2 | type of data to match
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
3 | contents of data to match | ||||||||||||||||||||||
4 | MIME type if matched | ||||||||||||||||||||||
5 | MIME encoding if matched (optional) |
For example, the following magic file lines would recognize some audio formats:
# Sun/NeXT audio data 0 string .snd >12 belong 1 audio/basic >12 belong 2 audio/basic >12 belong 3 audio/basic >12 belong 4 audio/basic >12 belong 5 audio/basic >12 belong 6 audio/basic >12 belong 7 audio/basic >12 belong 23 audio/x-adpcm
Or these would recognize the difference between *.doc
files containing Microsoft Word or FrameMaker documents. (These are
incompatible file formats which use the same file suffix.)
# Frame 0 string \<MakerFile application/x-frame 0 string \<MIFFile application/x-frame 0 string \<MakerDictionary application/x-frame 0 string \<MakerScreenFon application/x-frame 0 string \<MML application/x-frame 0 string \<Book application/x-frame 0 string \<Maker application/x-frame # MS-Word 0 string \376\067\0\043 application/msword 0 string \320\317\021\340\241\261 application/msword 0 string \333\245-\0\0\0 application/msword
An optional MIME encoding can be included as a fifth column. For example, this can recognize gzipped files and set the encoding for them.
# gzip (GNU zip, not to be confused with # [Info-ZIP/PKWARE] zip archiver) 0 string \037\213 application/octet-stream x-gzip
This module is not for every system. If your system is barely keeping up with its load or if you're performing a web server benchmark, you may not want to enable this because the processing is not free.
However, an effort was made to improve the performance of
the original file(1)
code to make it fit in a busy web
server. It was designed for a server where there are thousands of users
who publish their own documents. This is probably very common
on intranets. Many times, it's helpful if the server can make
more intelligent decisions about a file's contents than the
file name allows ...even if just to reduce the "why doesn't my
page work" calls when users improperly name their own files.
You have to decide if the extra work suits your

Invisalign® is an orthodontic appliance system used to inconspicuously treat crooked and crowded teeth in adults and teens. This modern take on braces features a system of clear aligner trays that are worn at all times with the exception of during meals and when brushing or flossing. The trays are custom fitted to the teeth, making them virtually unnoticeable when laughing, talking, and eating with other people. Patients receive a sequence of trays, each of which is slightly different than the one before. The aligners provide a slight resistance to the teeth, forcing them to move into alignment over time. With Invisalign®, adults and teens can achieve the smiles they've always wanted without feeling self-conscious about the mode of treatment.
Did you know…
wearing Invisalign® is in no way as restrictive as traditional braces? Many adults opt for this system not only because it is discreet, but also because there is no need to change your diet to avoid foods that could damage braces. This is because the Invisalign® system is free of braces and brackets, instead opting for a removable tray that can be taken out prior to meals. Also, Invisalign® fits well into busy adult schedules, as there is no need to attend frequent visits for wire tightening. Most patients simply change to a new aligner tray every couple of weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for Invisalign®?
If you have crooked or crowded teeth that are embarrassing to you or otherwise preventing you from achieving optimal oral health, Invisalign® could be the solution for you. Visit your Invisalign® dentist for a complete consultation to find out if you could benefit from clear orthodontics.
What should I expect during my Invisalign® treatment?
You will wear your aligners nearly all of the time, with the exception of about two hours per day. Invisalign® treatments are different for everyone, but most patients can achieve their ideal smiles within one to two years. During that time, you can expect to make occasional dental visits to monitor your progress.
Will I need any post-treatment care?
Following your treatment, you will no longer need to wear Invisalign® trays. However, you will need to wear a retainer each day to help protect your new smile. It is also important to continue visiting your dentist for routine check-ups and twice-yearly cleaning.
