Abstract: A global time calculator includes an insert and a sleeve. The insert is marked on both its sides (or on a single page slide insert on one side) with vertical columns of incremental time designations, and may or may not contain a stop mechanism. The insert is slidable and connected with the sleeve so as to be shiftable in a vertical direction. Both sides of the sleeve (or in some embodiments a single side of the sleeve) have areas for obscuring vertically aligned time designations that are in excess of unobscured time designations.

Abstract: A pacifier clip and cover combination includes an enlarged pinch clip and a ribbon. The pinch clip is movable between opened and closed positions and is large enough in the body of the clip as to fit over and fully cover the nipple portion of a standard pacifier and to therefore protect the nipple from contact with the surrounding environment and keep it clean during storage. The ribbon is attached between the clip and cover combination and a standard pacifier. Thus, during use, the clip is clipped to an infant's clothing to prevent the pacifier from falling to the ground.
