What is the old school baby milk formula using carnation evaporated milk,water,and karo syrup?
This is from "The Tightwad Gazette" by Amy Dacyczyn (that's the book, not the newsletter), page 19. Copyright 1992 by the author, and printed by Villard Books in New York 2 - 12oz cans of evaporated milk 32 oz water 2 Tbsp Karo syrup 3ml Poly Vi Sol vitamins "Prepared correctly [homemade formulas] rank a distant third behind breast-feeding and commercial formula. They are probably adequate but not optimum. However under certain circumstances homemade formulas may be fine to use. Before considering its use you need to know more about infant nutrition and formula in general." According to the article, the AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) was unaware of any documented cases of children getting botulism from the corn syrup. However, the WIC nutritionist she consulted expressed some concern, and suggested that possibly granulated sugar be used instead. (Note from me: do not EVER give a child under the age of one honey for any reason. A number of deaths occur each year from babies being given honey. Honey contains the spores that cause botulism -- a very very tiny amount, which the human body processes with no problem. However, babies and people with immuno-suppressive diseases should not be given honey at all, because their bodies cannot destroy this spore. So, DO NOT EVER GIVE BABIES HONEY!) In addition, If using the above formula (and for general knowledge sake) do NOT add the vitamins to the formula if it is to be heated. Infant nutritional supplements such as these vitamins are VERY heat sensitive, and will lose their potency. Please give separately.
What is worse/more illegal, leaving a child alone at home for a couple of hours or leaving a child outside, locked out, and alone for a couple of hours?
I would say that depends on the child and the whereabouts. When my son was 13, he was an avid Boy Scout, very capable of looking after himself, and had friends in the neighborhood ( within walking distance ) with whom he could hang out, or get help if need be. He also had access to the house however. ( knew which rock in the flower bed to move to find the spare key ). That was suburbia. Apartment or Condo living might be different.By the "Ripe old age of 13" a child should be old enough, and stable enough to have access to either the family home, or know a dependable neighbor, relative, or local friend that he/she can check in with for 2 hours without too much trauma. Many kids have after school activities, clubs, groups, meetings, practices, and sporting events that take longer than 2 hours. If you're worried about leaving your child alone after school before you get home, have him or her go home with a nearby friend and pick your child up at their house. In the country, it was nothing for my son to be gone with his friends for half a day or more. We didn't worry because we knew where they were going and that they were just doing "boy stuff". LOLA whole separate set of problems comes to mind if your child is afraid to be alone, has never been alone, cannot be trusted, has an impairment, or is required to have medical intervention periodically- a shot, pills, or the administration of inhalers, or oxygen etc. That's very different. If the weather is bad- bitterly cold, extraordinarily hot or thunder storms and your child is unprepared and unprotected, again: that's very different. If your child might be in danger, or could be in a position to be taken advantage of by others, things like that, of course- Very Different. ( You set no parameters ) Down town "Mayberry"...probably fine. Downtown "Detroit"... Midnight to 2 am: Not FineIt's important that you train children to be confident, to know their options, to not panic, to know who to call & what to do. There is no reason why a 13 year old standing on the porch should be either illegal - or Bad. Don't wait until the child is standing on the porch alone to begin teaching. Begin at a younger age, with discussions, shorter stays of 5, 10, or 15 minutes.Set the stage for success instead of fear & panic.That's my 2 cents.
Who should get my bus seat: a pregnant woman, an elderly person, or a physically disabled person?
Honestly, when the particulars are that severe, I can’t decide, and I have to go for the most “practical for real-life” decision: I would just stand up and offer it to them as a group, in general. The three people who may need a seat can then decide amongst themselves who needs it the most. You, as an able-bodied male who I would guess is also not pregnant (unless you are trans, in which case, maybe you have been), and probably not 80–90 years old, if you’re posing this question, are probably the least qualified out of the four people, to assess who deserves the seat the most.Usually, in my experience, this scene raises the attention of enough surrounding riders that the other two who could use a seat will have some vacated for them, as other riders realise that attention may be on them to do the right thing. Another thing you can do, as an able-bodied male who might feel less intimidated in talking to strangers than someone who might feel vulnerable because they are elderly, disabled, or pregnant, is to be an ally: speak up and ask other able-bodied riders if they can give up a seat to those in need of one.Also: for some people, sitting poses more problems. I’ve met elderly people with such a problem (something to do with deep-vein thrombosis issues, I think, in one case). In which case, give them the sturdiest position to lean and grip things, to stabilise themselves, and where they can hook their cane onto a rail or something, or park whatever other mobility device they are using, so it doesn’t fall to the ground. This is usually near the front wheel-wells of the bus, where the courtesy seating for people who need to sit usually is, anyhow.
If a teacher doesn't show up in the first 15 minutes of class, am I free to leave?
I have actually experienced this in high school, and I am telling you NOT to leave. In fact, you should report this to someone.We had an 8th period honors lit class and it was the 3rd week of school last fall. We knew ahead of time that we were going to have a sub that day. When the bell rang, nobody was there. Of course the very same rumor (the 15 minute rule) started being mentioned, but it was shut down by a few people who said that is nonsense. So, our class adjusted from the plan to leave after 15 minutes to just never calling for a teacher to come. So, for 30 minutes we socialize, while getting cover from a couple of girls (who decided to turn off the lights to make it look like we are watching a movie or something as well as make everyone shut up when someone opened the door to go to the bathroom). Of course, about 35 minutes into the 50 minute class, we got exposed when one of the students decided to email the principal that she was being trapped and pressured to be quiet and not notify anyone.The lit department supervisor came in and obliterated our class verbally, which is completely fair.Our normal teacher plus the supervisor then scolded us for another 20 minutes the following week. Luckily, in about a month, I think the incident became the past and was not really important in terms of class dynamic.Overall, I can’t tell you for college but in highschool you better not damn leave your class.
Good Websites?

Medically speaking, what is the difference between a dwarf and a midget?
A dwarf is an extremely short adult who is less than 58 inches tall. The word midget is considered derogatory and offensive. Both words describe a short person, but refer to different physical characteristics and genetic conditions."Midget" refers to a person who is very short, but normally proportioned. The term midget is now rarely used and is considered offensive. But its usage was very common until the end of the twentieth century. It has given way to "short person" or "little person"."Dwarf" refers to a person with one of several varieties of a specific genetic condition called dwarfism. A dwarf has disproportion of body parts. This is generally caused by a genetic or nutritional disability. Any adult human below the height of 4'10" (147 cm) is considered a dwarf. With reference to [1] legends or folklore, a dwarf is considered a legendary creature resembling a tiny old man, who lives in the depths of the earth and guards buried treasure.Footnotes[1] Dwarf vs Midget - Difference and Comparison
