How to Choose a Bed Rail For Your Needs There are a variety of bed rails available, from the ones that you can hold on to push yourself out of bed to the ones that prevent you from falling out of bed. Do you need a full or half rail? One that goes under the bed or one that fits between the box spring and the mattress? The various rails provide varying degrees of support. A rail for a 78-year-old might not work for an 8-year-old. The first question you need to ask when looking for a bed rail is, why do you need it? Do you need it for standing up when getting out of bed? Or do you need it to prevent falling out of bed? Perhaps you require both. You also have to keep the user in mind. Small rails will do the job for a child; however, they…

My family and I have visited Brackenridge Park for many years now, beginning from a time where my line of vision extended only a few feet off the ground to the beginning of my time at university. Granted, my height might not have changed much, but time certainly has. Brackenridge Park easily surpassed the dreaded McAllister Park (dreaded because as a child, I hated nothing more than spending hours walking through the never-ending park in the middle of the burning heat that Satan himself would…

During his era he eradicated the 2nd national bank because his country wanted it, wrote a bill to displace Indians and vetoed an alarmingly high amount of bills. In all his flaws he was well liked by the people and was known as a man of the people. The Jacksonian period from the viewpoint of the common man, was a turning point in American history because of…

If I could go back in time, I would go back to 1944. Just thirty minutes away from my home in Taylorsville, NC, seventy-two years ago, Hickory, NC marked the largest polio outbreak in the United States. This tragic uprising brought the town of Hickory closer than it has ever been. Hickory responded by turning a local camp into an extensive emergency hospital almost overnight. The first patients were admitted within 54 hours, the triumph that became known as “The Miracle of Hickory.” Patients…

For this assignment, I visited the Hickory Museum of Art (HMA) in Hickory, North Carolina. Their major exhibition was “Unexpected Beauty,” a collection of photographs by photojournalist Steve McCurry. I observed several ways in which the HMA replicated historic museums practices, especially in regards to the museum effect, princely galleries, and above all, reinforcing an emphasis on the visual. By visiting the HMA I gained a firsthand experience of what these practices look like and the…

“Welcome back to the first game of the season. We have here tonight the Hickory Crawdads facing the South Spartans. Mikayla Hill is up to bat for Hickory as we enter the ninth. Let's check in.” “ Go battabatta, go battabatta, swing,” the man behind my enemy said aloud. I could already see both men getting into their stances. The batter rising, back straightening, almost cutting through me with his eyes as he waited for the ball. The catcher sinking down, ready to catch the ball as it would…

letter in his or her first name from a list of words which will be displayed. For example: I will say and display the words Hickory, Dickory, Tumble Bee, and then I would ask the child if they can find the first letter in their name? This can also be used as a transition to center time, where the children can practice independently. During center time, I would provide the students multiple choices as to what they are going to work on in regards to their literacy opportunities. While using…

Stepping into office on March 4, 1829, Andrew Jackson began to serve his presidential term up until March 4, 1837. This was his second time to run for president of the United States, where John Quincy Adams took victory over him the first time around in 1824.

Overall, the citizens of the United States viewed the man called “Old Hickory” in various ways. Some identified him to be the…
