By the time a student gets to college, they have become computer literate. How about in high school? Not every family has a home computer. Just look at the number of public computers at libraries or chat rooms. Most high schools have some computer classes and some computers for students to use. In most grade schools, computer use depends upon a familys ability to supply one at home. Watching children use a computer as though it is no big deal is amazing to generations that are still having computer issues. A head start education program needs to include computer education. The world today lives on the Internet. The edge a computer gives a child is hard to measure. The gap between the haves using a computer and the have nots no computer use can only grow. The education suggestion is to give the computer edge to the children in a head start program. This would not be difficult by using one of the most generous men in our history. Bill Gates and his wife have a foundation with money to spend. Also, Eli Broad and his wife have a foundation for education. Other foundations could also be solicited. Bill Gates could design the computer. Several things need to be included to make this work. 1. Make the laptop steal proof 2.Use a fingerprint or such the only way to open the computer 3.Make the laptop color distinctive-red, white and blue 4.Mark the laptop-Do not steal no resale value 5. Have a special Internet access with only one channel-i.e. .cft computers for tots, We have toys for tots and coats for tots, now we can have computers for tots. 6. All of the programs will be educational and games that encourage learning 7. To get a .cft a website address will have to pass a screening test 8. Have screens on all .cft sites for known bad words etc. 9. Put a GPS in the computer as it is made 10.Make the system easy to use This is idea is out side of the box that everyone talks about but cannot seem to propose. Computers for Tots it will work. Computers for Tots will level the playing field.

My daughter had the worse case and I tried every brand out there to treat it with no luck. My friend recommended Burt's Bees Diaper Rash Cream. It worked in an instant!! No more diaper rash! I've used it ever since. For diaper rash, there's nothing better than Burt's Bees!!

Poison Ivy! When I was a kid, I was out of school for two weeks with it. And I now have two children with such sensitive skin who I know will struggle with it as well. We've kept it away till now, but I know it's just a matter of time. I found this article by Healthwise which I have found the most helpful of all the information out there. Hope it helps if poison ivy comes your way! The rash (allergic contact dermatitis) from poison ivy, oak, or sumac generally is mild and can be treated at home. Home treatment for the rash usually helps relieve symptoms but does not speed up healing of the rash.If you know you had contact with one of these plants, immediately wash areas of the skin that may have touched the plant. Sometimes the rash can be completely avoided by washing the affected areas with plenty of water within 10 or 15 minutes of contact. You could also try using a product (such as Tecnu or Zanfel) that is designed to remove the oil from your skin.To relieve itching and help dry blisters, apply wet compresses or soak the area in cool water. Antihistamine pills or calamine lotion may help relieve symptoms.If you have a moderate to severe rash, you may need to see your health professional. He or she may prescribe corticosteroid pills. These medicines may help improve or clear up the rash more quickly. Prescription corticosteroid creams, ointments, shots, or gels may also be used, but pills or shots are usually more effective.A frequent complication of the rash is infection. If this occurs, your health professional will probably prescribe an antibiotic cream that you spread on the affected skin if the infection is small. Otherwise, you may need antibiotic pills or a shot.3 To prevent infection, try not to scratch the rash, and cut your fingernails short to minimize the possibility of opening the skin and spreading bacteria.Regardless of what type of treatment is used after a rash develops, the length of time it lasts will vary from person to person.Happy Summer to all!!
