April 16, 1957 F. F. DEXTER DISPOSABLE DIAPER Filed Sept. 23, 1955 Free f. flea fer INVENTOR.
7 Claims. Cl. 128-284) Thisinvention relates to new and useful improvements in disposable baby diapers.
Erevious disposable diapers have failed to provide sufiicient absorbency without sacrificing characteristics considered necessary to facilitate their disposability, the very utilitarian-function for which such diapers were designed. Such diapers generally comprise a plurality of inner layers of water-absorbent material to which maybe secured an outer sheet of water-repellent material. rather bulky garment which, though expendable, is not truly disposable because'of limited capacity of ordinary waste disposal channels. That is, such diapers may, of course, be deposited in waste containers or released through other large capacity avenues but their utility is severely limited to the extent that they do not lend themselves to disposal through the ideal medium of household plumbing channels. Obviously, to a prudent mother who, rather than risk clogging a plumbing fixture, faces the necessity of either carrying a damp or soiled diaper to a remote waste receptacle or bearing the unpleasantness of a container for soiled diapers in the nursery, the. advertised advantages of disposable diapers are lost or, at best, minimized. Of course, such diapers may be so disposed if they are torn apart, but the fact that they require the use oftwo hands to tear and dissect them often presents mother with a chore more disagreeable than the washing of soiled conventional cotton diapers.
It is, therefore, an object of my invention to provide a disposable diaper which combines maximum absorbency with maximum disposability.
' It is a; further object of my invention to provide a diaper having a minimum of bulk by confining all of the moisture and soil absorbing material to the moisture and soil producing area on baby.
It is' a further object of my'invention to provide a disposable diaper which presents extra thicknesses of material for additional absorbency when applied to the baby which may be separated from the body of the diaperto facilitate disposal thereof.
It is a further object of my invention to provide a disposable diaper featuring the maximum of comfort to baby by virtue of its soft and pliable construction.
In carrying out my invention I can initially form my diaper in anyone of several conventional shapes such as a square, a rectangle, a triangle or a trapezoid. However, my preferred embodiment is as illustrated in the drawings and features a contour type diaper of irregular configuration which adapts itself to the contour of baby.
The resultant multi-layer diaper constitutes a of the diaper to forma pocket from top to bottom at.
the central portion of the diaper for the reception of a removable multi-layered pad of highly absorbent material. Thus, in disposing of the diaper it is, with considerable facility, separated into its two components, one the light weight, bulkless body portion of the diaper and the other the soluble absorbent pad.
The features of my invention which I believe to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. My invention itself, however, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following descripton in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. l is a plan view of an unfolded, disposable diaper comprising my invention; Fig. 2 is a plan view of my disposable diaper folded for packaging or storage; Fig. 3 is a section view taken along line 3-3 of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a view in perspective of my diaper as prepared for application to baby; and Fig. 5 is a top view in perspective of my disposable diaper as positioned for application to baby.
Referring now to the drawings, my disposable diaper comprises a diaper body or pad holder 1 and an absorbent insert pad insert 2 (Fig. 3).
For maximum versatility and utility, I form the diaper body 1 of two substantially coextensive, united sheets 7 and 8 each of which contribute certain desirable fea-' The inner sheet sorbency and extreme wet strength of such material per- I mits the rapid dissipation of moisture without causing the disintegration or tearing of the innerlayer or its partial adherence to the infants skin.
The outersheet8 is made of an extremely thin but durable water-proof sheet having considerable tensile.
strength, such as' polyethylene or similar plastic material; Because of these characteristics, the outer sheet 8 inherently provides a strong outer cover for the diaper which ietaiiis any moisture therein.
The inner absorbent sheet? and the outer water-proof sheet 8 aresuperimposed upon each other and joined together, by heat sealing or by. use of adhesive, only at. separated spots 9 to form a unitary diaper body or pad holder. In addition to the obvious saving of adhesive the advantages of joining the inner and outer layersat iso-..
While the diaperbody 1 may be of any conventional configuration, square,.

have found through experimentation that the application of a strip of adhesive or heat .seal across the body ofa diaper, and particularly along its edges, presents a relatively stiff, sharp seam which often chafes and irritates Further, as another important advantage, by uniting the sheets 7 and 8 only at isolated spots 9, I preclude the formation of air-tight cells or pockets between the sheets or layers which might otherwise be created by a continuous seal. Such pockets tend to cause the entrapment of air with a resultant inflation or ballooning of the diaper body which increases its bulk and renders it buoyant, to retard immeasurably its disposal'through normal plumbing channels.
As best shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the joining of the inner and outer sheets 7 and -8 is confined to the side areas 10 adjacent the edges 5 and 6 to leave unattached the central portion and thus form a pocket 11 extending from top to bottom of the diaper.
Slidably and removably disposed within the pocket 11 between the inner and outer sheets 7 and 8 is the ab- V and 6 to permit retention of the comfort-giving pliability mentioned hereinbefore.
In my preferred embodiment illustrated herein, I provide a spot of pressure sensitive adhesive 12 or the like adjacent each side edge of the diaper intermediate the top 4 and bottom 3 thereof so that the side edges may be folded inwardly, as shown in Fig. 2, and secured to the central portion'of the diaper. By securing the side edges inwardly as shown I provide, not only compactness to facilitate packing, shipping and'storage, but also, when the diaper is applied, a natural trap 13 for the reception of waste as disclosed in my co-pending application Serial No. 445,680, filed July 26, 1954.
In applying the diaper to the baby, the wing-like back waist band portion and, for a large baby, the front waist band portion 3 are first unfolded to their full width with the side edges still over the central portion to form the waste trap13 as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. The integral wing extremities or tabs are then folded back to uncover the pressure-sensitive adhesive 15 and the baby is placed on the diaper with his legs on opposite sides of the crotch portion. The front waist band portion 3 is then folded upwardly to cover the babys abdomen and the wing-like back waist band is folded around babys' waist and secured, by means of thepressure-sensitive adhes ve 14, to the front'portion 3, as illustrated in 4 i Fig. 5. Thus, the diaper may be applied without requiring the use of pins, buttons or other fastening members.
holder 1 away from the partially soluble absorbent insert pad 2 which, in turn is then releasedto follow the diaper body I atone and the same flushing; Because the spot seals 9 uniting the outer and inner sheets 7 and 8 are separated and applied only at isolated points 9 adjacent the side edges, the non-soluble diaper body 1 is of maximum flexibility and incapable of trapping pockets of air which would otherwise retard normal flushing action.
within the true spirit and scope of my invention.
17 A disposable baby diaper composing an outer sheet 7 of water-repellent material, an inner sheet of water-absor mediate said side portions, and a pad of absorbent mate rial slidably and removably carried in said pocket.
a spot of pressure-sensitive adhesive on said outer sheet near each extremity of said back waist band pQrtion.
said spot sealing being adapted to permit substantially 11nrestricted flowof fluids between said sheets and to leave the central portion thereof unjoined forming an open end' pocket, and an absorbent pad slidably and removably received in said pocket.
4. A disposable diaper as defined in claim 3 including a spot of pressure-sensitive adhesive on said outer sheet adjacent each extremity of said wing-like back portion.
5. A disposable baby diaper comprising an outer sheet of water-repellent material, an inner sheet of water-absorbent material substantially coextensive therewith, said inner and outer sheets being united only at spaced points by means adapted to permit substantially unrestricted flow of fluids between said inner and outer sheets, an open end pocket between the central portions of said inner and outer sheets, and a pad of absorbent material slidably and removably carried in said pocket.

History geeks like me squeal over things like this.
Verna Laboy will be portraying Annie Fisher, a black entrepreneur caterer from the early 1900s, from 11:45 to 2 p.m. on Sunday at the Heritage Festival.
The Heritage Festival is a free, two-day event where history comes alive at the Boone County History and Culture Center. You'll be able to enjoy food, re-enactments, see the Center's museum and tour the little village of historic buildings at Boone Junction as well as the Maplewood House, a circa 1877 owned by Lavinia and Dr. Frank G. Nifong.
The Maplewood house is where Laboy will be portraying Annie Fisher from 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday.
Who is Annie Fisher and why should you care?
Born in 1867, Fisher was born to former slaves in 1867 and while she only a third-grade formal education, she built a thriving business catering as well as owning several rental properties.
Fisher also had two homes, a 15-room house at 608 Park Ave., which was razed during the 1960s, and another at 2911 Old Highway 63, which was razed in 2011, according to this Nov. 29, 2011 Columbia Tribune article. You can still see the Old Highway 63 house on a Facebook page dedicated to the Annie Fisher House Project which includes a video tour of the home as well as historical documents.
Many people have never heard of Annie Fisher.
Who is Verna Laboy and why I care
This Aug. 24, 2017 Columbia Missourian Vox magazine article outlines why Laboy portrays Fisher. Fisher is one of many "hidden figures" of Columbia's history — African Americans who succeeded despite adversity and racism.
Usually, article notes, Laboy does her performances at public school classrooms. That means adults like me miss out on seeing her and learning about Fisher.
But on Sunday, I'll finally get to see Laboy portray Fisher and I'll try not to make a fool out of myself about how thrilled I am to get to see Annie Fisher and meet Verna Laboy.

Donald Trump Spends Thanksgiving Socializing at Mar-a-Lago But Still Focused on 2020 Election: 'He Can't Move On'
Linda Marx
Former First Lady of the United States
D Dipasupil/Getty Images President Donald Trump
Former President Donald Trump spent his first Thanksgiving since leaving the White House at the place he loves best: his members-only Mar-a-Lago Club, where a source tells PEOPLE the real estate tycoon seemed nervous about the ongoing legal issues he's facing, but happy to be in Palm Beach.
And while his exit from Washington D.C. came as a result of his electoral loss to now President Joe Biden, the 75-year-old Trump is still consumed by what he has repeatedly (and falsely) described as "election fraud."
"He is frustrated and still angry about Biden beating him. He can't move on," a political source tells PEOPLE.
Similarly, Trump spent last Thanksgiving also focused on the election loss, tweeting that it was a "100% RIGGED ELECTION," despite offering no proof to back up his allegation.
RELATED: Melania Trump Makes Rare Post-White House Outing to 'Wonderful' Local Foster Care Organization
Trump lost in both electoral and popular votes. His legal attempts to overturn the results have failed in courtrooms around the country and his Twitter account has since been permanently suspended due to the risk of "further incitement of violence" following the deadly Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol.
But Trump has worries aside from the election — like mounting legal issues facing both he and his eponymous company.
"Donald knows that he has a lot to worry about in many areas so he is madly mouthing off any way he can to make himself look better," the source adds.
The source tells PEOPLE the former president wants to run for president again but has not made a definitive decision (though he has continued fundraising in the months since he left office).
For now, Trump appears content in Palm Beach, with the source saying he likes the attention he gets at his private club, particularly on big holidays that bring in many guests.
"Holidays like Thanksgiving build his ego when club members at Mar-a-Lago come up to him and chat," the source says. "He is a rock star to them. He lives for those moments."
These moments occur both at Mar-a-Lago and at Trump International Golf Club nearby, where he "golfs and often dines on Sunday nights when the aging Trumpettes gather to eat and fall all over him," the source tells PEOPLE.
"He is happiest eating, socializing and doing business from Mar-a-Lago, his castle," the source adds.
RELATED: Melania's 'Hint of Tears,' Husband Donald's Possible 2024 Act of 'Vengeance' and Other Peril Highlights
A source in Palm Beach told PEOPLE former President Trump spent the days after the holiday golfing.
His wife Melania Trump, meanwhile, spent the days around the Thanksgiving holiday another way: making a rare public appearance for a special cause.
The former first lady, 51, went last Wednesday to the local office of the foster care organization 4KIDS, with her office saying she spent two hours at the Palm Beach branch, not far from Mar-a-Lago.

› Rutgers Stories
Page intro (story)
"My first year, I was a member of the Paul Robeson Living-Learning Community. That was a great experience because I was able to meet faculty who throughout the years have stayed in touch. They helped me find my purpose in life."
Africana Studies and Economics
Rutgers University–New Brunswick
Takondwa's Story
Motivated by the hardships witnessed in his hometown, Takondwa was ignited by the research opportunities presented at Rutgers – New Brunswick. This rising junior is determined to bridge the gap between aid and economic sustainability in South African countries – while making friends that will last a lifetime.
What stands out most about your college experience?
Most faculties are willing to meet you, especially during office hours. They're very helpful. They want you to succeed. I feel like there's a stigma that, if you go to office hours and you don't know the material, the professor won't like you as much. But they walk you through it – they step-by-step make sure you understand because they love teaching.
What impacted you the most about Rutgers University–New Brunswick?
The fact that the community is so diverse. I found people that could actually relate to my experience. They understand that I come from an international background and they were willing to become friends with me and help me grow. I met a lot of great friends at Rutgers, life-long friends.
What is your greatest academic achievement
My greatest academic achievement has to be the McNair research proposal. I intend to turn it into my honors thesis and research the same topic in graduate school. I feel like the McNair Program, as well as [Dr. O'Keefe], really helped me hone in on my purpose in life. After I obtain my Ph.D., I hope to work for the World Bank or Goldman Sachs International to work on developing nations and figure out how I can give back to the communities I hold so dear.

House Majority Ldr Ledbetter urges action on ethics — 'If we don't, we're going to lose jobs'
Thursday on Huntsville radio's WVNN, House Majority Leader Nathaniel Ledbetter (R-Rainsville) explained the current push behind adjusting Alabama's ethics law within his body and the Alabama Senate.
Ledbetter said one issue that needed to be addressed was the current law's clarity, and he cited a lack of a "clear opinion" offered by governing boards whenever a question about ethics arose.
"I think there's no question it has got to be more clear," Ledbetter said. "You know, the thing about it is as long as our members know what they can and can't do, I think 99.9 percent of the members are going to do what they're supposed to do. But when there's a moving target, and you can't get a clear opinion from the ethics committee, that's a problem."
"That's something that's being addressed," he continued. "Now, I know that there's a conversation today about the bill that was brought through the House that cleaned up the language to recruit industry. That's purely, and simple just a tool to recruit industry and I'm a little bit conflicted why people dig into that more than what's there. I don't really understand that."
The DeKalb County Republican questioned the motivations of the news media on the topic, and he noted a dust-up Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh (R-Anniston) had with Birmingham's Talk 99.5 host Matt Murphy earlier in the day.
"I know there was a little bit of confusion this morning with the Pro Tem and I heard a little bit about that," Ledbetter said. "But the bill that comes through the House was simply a bill to enable economic developers to do their jobs so we could create more commerce in Alabama. It's almost like we got people out in the area that's trying to create news instead of report it. I'm conflicted a little bit with that."
Ledbetter went on to explain to listeners how aspects of the ethics law impacts economic development with regards to recruiting industry to the state.
"Last year, we corrected the portion of the ethics bill that would hurt us in recruiting business," Ledbetter said. "It's a little bit complicated. The people that does the recruiting are called 'partners,' and they have to register as lobbyists because they're asking for certain things to bring business within the state of Alabama. That was kind of a conflict. We corrected that last year inside that ethics law by itself."
"What happened was, the Senate passed it but they sunsetted it, which was kind of odd but they got it out like that, and you know, this year the sunset – April 1 was when it went into sunset, so right now we don't have anything to help our commerce. We met with Greg Canfield, who is over commerce for Alabama, economic development. What we got now is you've got large companies that does recruiting for these large companies like Toyota-Mazda. And can assure you this is on their radar and we don't need to hurt our state and what's been going on with our growth by not having something clear. It needs to be out open and transparent. I think it has been."
"This is just the economic part of it that I'm speaking of," he added. "So, I hope that we can get something done on that. It's imperative that we do. My concern is if we don't, we're going to lose jobs because of it."

Hvor smiler han, hvor er han glad (how he smiles and is happy)
Men denne dag er også rar, (but his day is also nice)
for hjemme venter mor og far (for mother and father are waiting at home)
med dejlig chokolade med kage til. (with delicious chocolate and cake)
Og når han hjem fra skolen går, (and now he walks home from school)
Så skal han hjem og holde fest, (he plans to go home to a party)
og hvem der kommer med som gæst, (and those who come with him are guests)
får dejlig chokolade med kage til. (finding delicious chocolate and cake)
Til slut vi råber højt i kor. (until at last we shout loudly in chorus)
Gid Malcolm længe leve må (and wish Malcolm a long life)
og sine ønsker opfyldt få - (and may he find his wishes fulfilled)
og dejlig chokolade med kage til.
The theme this year is 'Romans and Dinosuars', both of which have been caught in the La Brea chocolate cake that Susan made. Wednesday the school kids come over for his birthday party, today was just the three of us.
The Playmobil Romans are a big hit.. we had our first battle this morning (Malcolm's land-based legions with catapaults and spears won over my galleon) plus a swordfight outside with his toy roman soldier armor. I even learned something new: the SPQR on his roman galleon apparently stands for Senatus Populusque Romanus ("The Senate and the Roman People"), referring to the government of the ancient Roman Republic.
Malcolm has had a good year. He's changed a lot from four to five. We definitely feel that he is ready for kindergarten and more stimulus now.
Here are his fifth birthday stats:
Your sex is male
Your height is 0 ft. 46 in., or 116 cm.
Your weight is 47 lbs., or 21 kg.
Your birthdate is 06/24/2002, so your age is 5 years 0 months.
Your height is 92th percentile
That means you are 92th in height compared to 100 kids your age and sex.
Your weight is 86th percentile
That means you are 86th in weight compared to 100 kids your age and sex.
Your Body Mass Index is 16.1, which is the 69th percentile
That means that your BMI is 69th compared to 100 kids your age and sex.
You are neither underweight nor overweight according to health experts*. Your weight is in the healthy range for your height and age.
The healthy weight range for your height and age is 41 to 50 pounds (18 to 23 kilograms). This range corresponds to a BMI between the 5th and 85th percentiles for your age and sex.
For comparision here are some earlier birthday photos:
mon-te-ssori's a-flyin' circussss....
yesterday was the annual "put on a show for the parents!" at Malcolm's Montessori Børnehave... this year's theme was Cirkus Montessori
it was great. The kids -- all bedecked in costumes and facepaint -- put on a fun show including 'high wire' (a board for balance beam), 'dog & pony' with Fleming their teacher as ringmaster, a strong man, synchronized bicycling, a snake charmer (including a 'tusind bener fra andalusia'... an andalusian centipede) and more!
it was a nice 'swang song' for Malcolm, who is now wrapping up his time at Birkerød Montessori. He's had a great 2.5 or so years there (his first day was February 1, 2005) with Marianne and Flemming who run the school.
He's learned to socialize, to play and take turns in an orderly way and he's become fluent in a second language... all good things. I'm pretty sure he will miss his børnehave but he should always have nice memories of his time there.
All 'circus snaps' are here.
you're coming up roses, everywhere you go...
(w/apologies to the late, great Elliott Smith for nicking his title)
lots of beautiful roses in our neighborhood this time of year.
it was 30 degrees here when I was in Seattle... very unusual. Susan got a kiddie pool for Malcolm who spent the warm days in and out of the pool running around naked as little kids do here when it is warm. The warm weather was followed by rain so the plants & trees have exploded with growth: our garden is a lush jungle and we're in one of the cycles of humid days w/rain then humid again... 'close' as the English would say.
But this is Thomas Mann's 'mist-shrouded North' , after all, and it is grey and clammy not very hot at all. We're nearing the summer solstice now so at this latitude (55 degrees) it is light virtually all the time: It gets dark-ish after midnight and it is twilight again by 3-4 am. The birds are going absolutely mad outside... they've set up nests underneath the clay tiles in our roof (as they do every year) and they're singing like homeward drunks by 4 am. The din was such the past few nights that I thought someone had left a radio on outside, all the different birdsongs mashing together into a cacauphony of whistles and tones, with the fledgelings under the roof all screetching to be fed.
Especially at this time of year, with all the migrant birds returned, there are more birds here than any place I've ever lived. I think it is because the suburban towns with their hedgerows and mature deciduous trees provide lots of food and shelter plus abundant supplies of food in summer... more than the evergreens of the Pacific Northwest can provide for most birds.
and as it is father's day, a quick post on my dad
my dad is a interesting guy: very generous with his time (and sometimes a little too generous with money), a bit cantankerous at times (as you'd expect from a now-70 year-old New Yorker) but still energetic enough to single-handedly design and build a barn by himself... he just finished this one in Texas for my Aunt Mary and her husband
he built a garage for us at our first Seattle home in Capitol Hill and he's planning a retirement cottage to build next year (for the 'off season' when they have to leave Nova Scotia for the obligatory six months). Whew. Most 35 year-olds I know couldn't keep up with him.
He also drafted the initial design for the house we're building in Green Lake: A good, simple design that fit the lot and our needs and made the construction easier for the builders.
He's been doing this for a long, long time. My brothers and I have strong memories of the weekends (3 years' worth!) we spent helping with the house he built in Westchester Country (north of NYC) back in the '70s, only to sell it at the end when the bottom fell out of the engineering job market. We bitched and moaned the whole time, but we learned a lot. He does it because he loves it (he calls it his 'art').
There's a lot more I could say about my dad: The intellectual (and argumentative) imprint he got from his parents (and passed on to us, alas :)), his selflessness and honesty, some of the more quotable lines ("all manners are bullshit" was one of my favorites) but this is just a father's day blog post, not an obituary, not by a long shot. So I'll just leave it at this: we are lucky to have such a great father (nay, great parents: that goes for you too, mum).
Happy Father's Day, Pops.
And a moment of thanks for Donald, Susan's dad, as well. He passed away a few years ago.
I don't think I've ever met a nicer-natured guy. There's a lot of him in Malcolm. Of course, the nastier bits are all down to me.
how children lost the right to roam
from the Daily Mail (a rather pointless rag otherwise) comes this brief, interesting article on a topic near to my heart: Children no longer have any freedom to roam unsupervised and they don't walk anywhere:
When George Thomas was eight he walked everywhere.
It was 1926 and his parents were unable to afford the fare for a tram, let alone the cost of a bike and he regularly walked six miles to his favourite fishing haunt without adult supervision.
Fast forward to 2007 and Mr Thomas's eight-year-old great-grandson Edward enjoys none of that freedom.
He is driven the few minutes to school, is taken by car to a safe place to ride his bike and can roam no more than 300 yards from home.
Even if he wanted to play outdoors, none of his friends strays from their home or garden unsupervised.
The contrast between Edward and George's childhoods is highlighted in a report which warns that the mental health of 21st-century children is at risk because they are missing out on the exposure to the natural world enjoyed by past generations.
The report says the change in attitudes is reflected in four generations of the Thomas family in Sheffield.
The oldest member, George, was allowed to roam for six miles from home unaccompanied when he was eight.
His home was tiny and crowded and he spent most of his time outside, playing games and making dens.
Mr Thomas, who went on to become a carpenter, has never lost some of the habits picked up as a child and, aged 88, is still a keen walker.
His son-in-law, Jack Hattersley, 63, was also given freedom to roam.
He was aged eight in 1950, and was allowed to walk for about one mile on his own to the local woods. Again, he walked to school and never travelled by car.
By 1979, when his daughter Vicky Grant was eight, there were signs that children's independence was being eroded.
"I was able to go out quite freely - I'd ride my bike around the estate, play with friends in the park and walk to the swimming pool and to school," said Mrs Grant, 36.
"There was a lot less traffic then - and families had only one car. People didn't make all these short journeys."
Today, her son Edward spends little time on his own outside his garden in their quiet suburban street. She takes him by car to school to ensure she gets to her part-time job as a medical librarian on time.
While he enjoys piano lessons, cubs, skiing lessons, regular holidays and the trampoline, slide and climbing frame in the garden, his mother is concerned he may be missing out.
She said: "He can go out in the crescent but he doesn't tend to go out because the other children don't. We put a bike in the car and go off to the country where we can all cycle together.
"It's not just about time. Traffic is an important consideration, as is the fear of abduction, but I'm not sure whether that's real or perceived."
She added: "Over four generations our family is poles apart in terms of affluence. But I'm not sure our lives are any richer."
The report's author, Dr William Bird, the health adviser to Natural England and the organiser of a conference on nature and health on Monday, believes children's long-term mental health is at risk.
He has compiled evidence that people are healthier and better adjusted if they get out into the countryside, parks or gardens.
Stress levels fall within minutes of seeing green spaces, he says. Even filling a home with flowers and plants can improve concentration and lower stress.
"If children haven't had contact with nature, they never develop a relationship with natural environment and they are unable to use it to cope with stress," he said.
"Studies have shown that people deprived of contact with nature were at greater risk of depression and anxiety. Children are getting less and less unsupervised time in the natural environment.
"They need time playing in the countryside, in parks and in gardens where they can explore, dig up the ground and build dens."
The report, published by Natural England and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, also found that children's behaviour and school work improve if their playground has grassy areas, ponds and trees.
It also found evidence that hospital patients need fewer painkillers after surgery if they have views of nature from their bed.
Another fascinating thing about this article was the graphic that accompanied it; since generations of this family occupied the same area, you can graphically see how tragically fettered the current generation of children are when compared to their forebears
We've thought a lot on this subject. Here in Denmark, kids have a great degree of freedom to roam unsupervised from a young age. You often see quite young kids out on their own cycling and walking. And when I was very young I'd go off exploring the neighborhood, looking through backyards and nearby woods and the like.
I think here in Denmark kids have a greater degree of freedom because it is very safe for them to do so, at least, that is the perception. In the US and England, the perception rightly or no is that it is clearly unsafe.
We thought about this issue before we decided on a place to live when we return to Seattle in August. While I don't think we can let Malcolm run around unsupervised -- it is an American city after all, albeit a safe one -- we chose a place where lots of walking will be part of our daily lives, and where he is close to nature even though it is an urban neighborhood. The 'Map of Walkable King County' from the Sightline Institute shows our north-side neighborhood e. side of Green Lake as one of the few in red i.e. 'high walkability'
I hope our son feels some degree of freedom as a result, even if he doesn't have the unfettered freedom that I had as a child.

By George S. Clason
Genre: Business & Personal Finance
Written more than a century ago-The Richest Man In Babylon-is one of the greatest financial books of all time.
In language as simple as that of the Bible, this book provides many timeless lessons about spending, saving, and investing to build wealth that are as applicable today as when it was first written. The book is set in ancient Babylon, and follows the story of Arkad, the richest man in all of Babylon, imparting his wisdom to a younger man, Bansir, who wishes to become wealthy.
It lays out the basics of personal finance - spend less than you earn, save 10% of your income, and invest wisely - in an engaging parable format (stories told to teach a lesson). The book teaches that if you follows these basic lessons, work hard, and continue improving your skills, you can build future wealth through passive streams of income.

Donald Trump's hair is not as clean as he would like, and he says it's the president's fault.
At a campaign event in Aiken, South Carolina, the Republican presidential front-runner was asked about the Environmental Protection Agency's "Waters of the United States" rule, issued earlier this year. That regulation "clarifies the scope" of the kinds of bodies of water—wetlands, waterways, streams, lakes—that should be protected under the Clean Water Act. Trump expressed his displeasure at the rule, which he says has interrupted his ability to lather, rinse, and repeat.
The rule does not introduce any new regulations or regulatory requirements, but rather specifies the bodies of water in the United States covered under the Clean Water, which was introduced in the 1940s and then reorganized and expanded to its current form in 1972. It is unclear whether Trump's hair-washing problems stretch back that far.

Chew Sánchez, Athena Elafros, William García-Medina, Sara Goek, Eyvind Kang, Junko Oba, Juan David Rubio Restrepo, and Gareth Dylan Smith In Scattered Musics, editors Martha I. Chew Sánchez and David Henderson, along with a range of authors from a variety of scholarly backgrounds, consider the musics that diaspora and migrant populations are inspired to create, how musics and musicians travel, and how they change in transit. Its authors cover a lot of ground: cumbia in Mexico, música sertaneja in Japan, hip-hop in Canada, Irish music in the US and the UK, reggae and dancehall in Germany, and more. Diasporic groups transform the musical expressions of their home countries as well as those in their host communities. The studies collected here show how these transformations are ways of grappling with ever-changing patterns of movement. Different diasporas hold their homelands in different regards. Some communities try to recreate home away from home in musical performances, while others use music to critique and redefine their senses of home. Through music, people seek to reconstruct and refine collective memory and a collective sense of place. The essays in this volume-by sociologists, historians, ethnomusicologists, and others-explore these questions in ways that are theoretically sophisticated yet readable making evident the complexities of musical and social phenomena in diaspora and migrant populations. As the opening paragraph of the introduction to the volume observes, "What remains when people have been scattered apart is a strong urge to gather together, to collect." At few times in our lives has that ever been more apparent than right now"--Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on March 23, 2021).


Most of us have scant opportunity to dodge tax. Receiving salaries from our employers we are subject to Pay As You Earn (PAYE). The taxman takes his share of our earnings before we get a sniff of the money.
We are never in a position to be tempted by tax advisors who see no profit in tempting us. Pretty much our only tax-dodging opportunity is paying our plumbers cash to evade VAT. Like children gazing through a toyshop window, tax dodging is something we see but can't touch.
But for those whose income is not pre-strained by HMRC – businesses and businessmen, the independently wealthy living on unearned income (dividends and capital gains), freelancers and contractors on screen and in suits – temptations to avoid tax together with the tempters and temptresses who will indulge you for a fee abound.
1) The nation is deprived of much needed revenues, which are made up by increasing taxes on the rest of us (increase VAT; abolish 10% band; freeze allowances) and by cutting services (NHS; Police; Armed Forces; Education; Research) and by delaying and cancelling investment (airplanes for our aircraft carrier; transport infrastructure; schools; hospitals).
2) Much of the tax dodging is completely legal. This is characteristic of a Britain that chases the 99% of ordinary Britons mercilessly, while indulgently leaving legal loopholes for the 1% who can afford to pay for expensive advice. Loopholes that are by no means limited to tax avoidance.
By far the most popular tax dodge is to simply hide your money. A former Chief Economist of McKinsey, the global consultancy firm, estimates between US$21 trillion and US$32 trillion (1 trillion = 1,000billion) is deposited in hidden bank and investment accounts. According to the Economist newspaper the UK & Channel Islands is the biggest hidey-hole of hidden cash in Europe after Switzerland. And a recent investigation by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism uncovered a sustained lobbying campaign in the UK by British dependencies such as the Cayman Islands to protect their privateer status.
Say I have $100,000 in my high-street bank account that needs to go into hiding.
I buy some Brit Art for $100,000 - perhaps half a glass of water, a neon light turning on and off, and a few small balls of squished blue-tac - from a dealer based in a tax haven (who therefore doesn't have to account for the money received).
Hey Presto! My high-street bank account is empty, I have an invoice to show HMRC explaining my 'expenditure', a few new consumable items for my office, and my Cayman account is replenished.
Hiding money like this is sort of illegal. "Sort of" because HMRC has bent over backwards to reach agreements with havens, including Switzerland, that legitimise hidden money while keeping the dodgers' identities hidden.
More balefully fascinating than these disappearing tricks are the crude steps taken to dodge tax in full view of the taxman. It is not necessary for these dodges to be legal, they simply have to evade being illegal. Obey the letter of the law, or find the gaps. Saint Paul could have been the patron saint of tax advisors: "where there is no law there is no transgression" (Romans chapter 4, verse 15). As such, the steps of the taxation tango are designed to be circuitous and confusing. This does not imply they are elegant and sophisticated, but more brutish and short lived.
Short lived because deals like this are like mayflies. They are created to be legal, they enable you to dodge tax for a year or so, they are spotted by HMRC, they are made illegal and they expire. The tax advisers then create another short lived dodge earning them another round of fees. That's how the tax advisers keep themselves profitably employed.
Tax dodges are there for a purpose: to allow the elite to dodge taxes everyone else has to pay. When scruffy contracting computer programmers cottoned on to setting up one-man companies to enjoy the dodges of the elite HMRC specifically introduced IR35 legislation to cut them out.
You can be pretty sure it wasn't the rich selling themselves into slavery, surrendering their freedom and their legal protections including from crucifixion (only permitted for slaves and foreigners). It would have been the last resort of the desperately poor. Gauke unintentionally (we assume) reminds us that even in the fourth century AD tax dodging by the 99% was not allowed.
We at Ripped-Off Britons are compiling a list of tax dodging tactics, which will continue to grow over the months and years. We will attempt to explain how the dodges work in simple terms.
The dodge: Disguise employment income as a loan.
The dodge: Create a tax credit for interest paid on a loan.
The benefit: In the example case, GBP117 million tax credit shared between 289 individuals (on average just over GBP 400,000 each).
The dodge: Create a capital loss just before 5th April, cancelled by an equivalent profit just after 5th April.
The benefit: Capital loss used to cancel out a capital gain in the earlier tax year. By becoming non-resident the capital gain in the later year is not taxable.
First of all, change your references from Alan Carr to Jimmy Carr, to avoid the lawsuit which will otherwise follow (that's £500 + VAT please...).
Second, the schemes you list prove precisely the opposite point to your headline. The last two have already failed in the courts/tribunal, and K2 has yet to be tested - many advisers think it will fail too.
Thanks for the correction re. Alan and Jimmy - change made. And apologies to Alan.
We plan to include schemes that have been sold by accountants of high repute, even if they subsequently fail in court. With the intention of highlighting what high-flying high-paid accountants believe the law does not forbid - on the presumption that their assumptions are a reasonable reflection of the elasticity of the law.
and the fact that its failed in court, is a failing of the court, the point is it is immoral, everyone else pays their dues on all of their income, and so they should.

THE GHOST OF FU KANG WALKER (USA) Sign With Wormholedeath
We are proud to announce that Hard Rock / Metal sensations THE GHOST OF FU KANG WALKER signed a deal with Wormholedeath for their self-titled EP "The Ghost of Fu Kang Walker", due for release on December 2nd, 2022 via Wormholedeath worldwide. The band stated: "The Ghost of Fu Kang Walker is stoked to be a part of the WormHoleDeath Records roster! The debut EP features 5 hard-hitting songs that have been described by some as "Middle-Earth metal", with lyrics that venture into territory inhabited by dragons, dwarves, fire, and death cults. Ultra-fuzzy bass riffs and complimentary dual guitars lend to the band's "old-school stoner sound", while there are elements of nonconformity that break this band out of any one genre. From kids who are just getting hip to Clutch, to their grandparents who swear by Thin Lizzy, there's something for everyone here." The Ghost of Fu Kang Walker is a 5-piece hard rock/vintage metal band from Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. Described in a Facebook comment as "The Middle Earth of Lehigh Valley stoner metal," The Ghost of Fu Kang Walker stands out in a Pennsylvania music scene typically dominated by Top-40 cover bands. With vocals inspired by the vintage metal stylings of Thin Lizzy, Dio, and Iron Maiden, the band infuses 70's/80's-era nostalgia with contemporary songwriting, creative hooks, and ultra fuzzy bass riffs. The band released their first single, Where Wolves and Wiccans Roam, on Halloween of 2021. "I love everything about this track, it's mysterious, kick-ass, elegant, and unique all in one! You've got those mastery old school vocals mixed with that classic Prog Metal production and it all fits in so perfectly that you really can't ask for anything more!" – Asphyxium Fanzine Frontman John Pospischil (JP) initially played drums for the band alongside guitarists Josh Pretko and Jason Douglas, and bass player Sean Cameron. The 4-piece band recorded their initial tracks with John recording both drums and vocals. It was immediately apparent that the band wanted to recreate this sound in a live setting. The band called on local music veteran Tony Lipovsky to try out as the band's drummer and after two rehearsals they made it official. John then took on the role of vocals and keyboard. Following the completion of their lineup, Chumpire Records worked with the band to release a 5-song self-titled split LP/CD with Western PA's Neighbor Dan. Within months, the band inked a deal with Wormholedeath Records to release the self-titled EP on a larger scale, with global distribution. Collectively, the members of GFKW have played in an extensive roster of past bands, including Dragon Green, The Sinking Earth, Stillwater, I Want To Kill You, Blackout Driver, Sarin, Sound of Reverse, and more. Their history of friendship, gigs, and previous collaborations dates back to the late '80s, with previous bands having opened for the likes of Clutch, Gwar, Weedeater, and more. READ MORE

The network of national long-distance cycle routes - also know as LF routes - is to undergo a radical overhaul in 2017-2021. What does that mean for cyclists planning a holiday in Holland?
The first national long-distance cycle route (or LF route) in Holland dates back thirty years. The LF routes were designed as bike friendly, touristic routes for cyclists wanting to do more than a one-cay round trip. Now there are 26 LF routes that form a 4,500 km-network throughout the country.
As the LF routes are interconnected, cyclists can combine the routes in whatever way they wish. The network also connects with other European cycle routes, making them a gateway to the rest of Europe.
A lot has changed since the LF routes were introduced. In 2014 a far more extensive national network of bicycle friendly, scenic routes was completed: the numbered cycle network.
This 30,000 km-network offers cyclists an easy way to plan their own route around the country and from one LF route to the next. Without the need for the LF routes to form a network, it's time to reconsider which routes are no longer necessary and how the remaining routes can be improved.
The current 26 LF routes - which include a number of routes that are merely connections to complete the network - will be brought down to ten themed routes that will show you some of the best Holland has to offer, from rivers and coast to tulips, windmills, national parks and more. The new routes will continue to be signposted in both directions by a restyled version of the current signposts.
Please note that the LF2 City Route, one of the top three long-distance routes on our site, might be discontinued as it's less popular with Dutch cyclists. Popular international routes through Holland, such as the North Sea Cycle Route and Rhine Cycle Route might undergo some changes, but will continue to exist.
So what will the overhaul of the LF routes mean for cyclists planning a holiday in Holland in the next five years? Our experience with previous revisions is that you can expect a transition period in which there is a discrepancy between the LF route given on a map and the actual revised route that is signposted on the road. You might also find your route is no longer signposted at all as it has been discontinued.
To avoid confusion along the route, try to get the most up-to-date map possible. Before your trip you could compare the version of your map with the online cycle route planner to see where you might come across a discrepancy. When in doubt, stick to the route on your map. This way you always know where you are.
To minimize the inconvenience for cyclists, the overhaul of the LF routes will be tackled in stages over five years, starting in 2017. Here is the schedule for the changes as presented in November 2016. Obviously, this schedule might change along the way, so make sure you check our the latest information before your trip on our National LF network overview.

If you would like to read future posts, please update your reader.
This week marked hungrywoolf's second anniversary and as with the first anniversary, it seems an appropriate point for some reflection and thank yous. The most common reaction of people that I mentioned this milestone to was 'really, it's only been two years?' and while it does seem like a lot has happened in the last two years, I did check to make sure.
The continued popularity of Taco Trucks Columbus has been a source of great pleasure. I never tire of seeing people's reactions when they taste their first gringa, and I love that we encourage people,who otherwise would not, to try the taco trucks. I also still love finding new trucks, like Las Catrachas. As well as being successful in its own right, taco trucks columbus also spawned our new blogs alt.eats.columbus and (soon to be launched) streeteatscolumbus as well as being a huge spur to our new business – Columbus Food Adventures, which launched this month.
Alt.eats.Columbus, sprung both from our taco truck research and our desire to share great food experiences. Just as we had brought some attention to Mexican street food, we wanted to encourage people to try some of the other lesser-known ethnic cuisines and to support some of the small businesses that are turning out amazing food in the strip malls of Columbus. During the course of our alt.eats research I developed a deep affection for ethnic grocery stores with kitchens hidden behind their aisles of exotic goodies. Luc's, Arirang, Mecca, Apna, Michoacana (Sawmill), Salam – it was amazing how many of these gems we found.
I have been thrilled with the new wave of street food in Columbus, in particular I have a soft spot Foodie Cart with their innovative Japanese Crepes and I want to commend the ECDI for their help getting many of these businesses started. With the growth in both the number and variety of street food, we felt that these mobile vendors deserved their own reference site and so we are working to put StreetEatsColumbus together.
Freed from my job I finally found time to explore more of Ohio over the last year and we have made a couple of trips each to Cleveland and Cincinnati as well as a winery tour of the Ohio River Valley and some other day trips (many involving food). I also took my first trip to Chicago, mainly for research on food tours.
This year has included many wonderful food events (some as guest and some as volunteer) and highlights of the year include our Slow Food open air dinners (Otter Creek and Girasole), Bacon camp and Asparafest at Wildgoose, Field to Table at Franklin Park, Off-the-Menu at Nida's, the North Market Apron Gala, market to market rides, The Hill's Market's oscar dinner, the Veggie U fundraiser, many cooking classes at the North Market and the Night of 100o tacos.
Over the winter I was involved in several fun/interesting/crazy cooking projects including pig's head torchons, octopus confit and making my own haggis. My favorite recipes over the last year have been: apricot and almond tart, spring quiche, David Chang's fantastic salad, lavosh crackers, kiwi and elderflower pavlova and corn chowder.
Thank yous go to many friends (and my family) who have been willing accomplices over the last year. I am grateful to everyone who has come on trips and tours, participated in cooking experiments, offered encouragement, provided (often) crazy ideas, eaten beyond comfort, tried weird and wonderful foods, proof read, taste tested, organized amazing events and many other kindnesses. Thank you also to everyone who has read or commented on hungrywoolf, taco trucks columbus and alt.eats, linked, liked or followed me.
You may have noticed that I haven't posted about many restaurants on hungrywoolf recently. This is because almost all of my eating-out time has been directed towards our new project and we are finally ready to share it with the world!
The idea for alt.eats.columbus came about during the research for our taco truck project. We kept discovering interesting restaurants and food shops that we had never heard of, and finding cuisines represented that receive very little attention. We wanted to promote them in the same way that we did with the taco trucks, not for any financial gain, but purely to share our enthusiasm and our discoveries and to encourage people to try something off the beaten path, (not to mention eat some great food).
Columbus has such a wealth of fantastic ethnic restaurants. I have blogged about some of them before, but in the last few weeks we have been eating Persian, Senegalese, Somali and Vietnamese food and it has been a blast. Lots of new flavors, learning about different food cultures and having an adventure instead of just a meal.
One of the sad truths about blogging is that usually when you have a lot to write about, you struggle to find time to sit down and write about it. At the moment I would like to tell you about my first visit to Indochine for Vietnamese and Laotian food, a fun trip with old and new friends. I've been craving their cabbage salad all week. I would also like to share a fantastic (and surprising) recipe that included kimchi marinated apples and smoked bacon jowl from the Momofuku cookbook; I would also like to tell you about how inspiring yesterday's Ohio local foods roundtable conference was (with over 100 attendees passionate about local food issues); and tell you about my delicious taco truck tamale breakfast and some of the winter taco truck offerings. Unfortunately I can't. It will have to wait until next week because we are going to the Fabulous Food Show in Cleveland!
The Fabulous Food Show is billed as the Midwest's premier consumer culinary event and it promises a lot with over 200 exhibitors and hosts of cooking demos and celebrity chefs. Our last trip to Cleveland (and my first) was so much fun that I can't wait to explore more of the city and I am sure that we will find some fabulous food outside the show as well. I have written down the recommendations I had after my last post, but happy to have more too. We already have dinner booked at the Greenhouse Tavern which I am excited about. We were offered accommodation at the newly renovated Cleveland Airport Marriott and it looks beautiful.
The sad thing is that my weekend away means I am going to have even more to write about next week, but I look forward to sharing my Cleveland discoveries with you. For now, have a great weekend!
I almost forgot – the bread in the photo is a bacon baguette from the Petit Boulangerie. Currently found at farmers markets in Columbus – but soon (I hope) to be stocked at a new shop on High Street.


If you're like me most days, you're sitting in your car beneath an underpass and writing ALF fan fiction, but today we have a different type of fantasy for you to engage in. No, not your fantasy where it's you and that girl from high school in a tub of Alphabet Soup and you write her a love letter on her back in noodles! This is a fantasy baseball fantasy! Because you know what would be really cool? If you could join a fantasy baseball league that was against, like, 1000 other fantasy baseball teams. But not a 1000-person league, where people are trying to figure out who the back-up third baseman is on the Single-A Astros affiliate, the Corpus Christi Amscrayers. No, this is a 12-person league designed so you compete against eleven other people in your league, then 90 other leagues of twelve. That would be cool. Oh, wait, we've done that. It's called the Razzball Commenter Leagues, and they're back, and you don't even have to be a commenter to join it! For a limited time only, get your loved one a fantasy baseball league! That's right, your hearts go pitter-patter or you're dead on the inside (my condolences). Since back in June when you abandoned your fantasy baseball team because it was totally sucking and you returned to your cubbyhole of leftover Chinese food and Teddy Grahams, you've longed for this day. As Bob Marley sang, this is your redemption song, mon. Or womon, for our five girl readers. It's time again to join some fantasy baseball leagues!

Why Deckers Outdoor Corp (DECK) Shares Are Rise-and-Fall: The Jefferies Group, Inc. (JEF) Effect
Published on February 5, 2013 at 7:50 pm by The Motley Fool in News
The value of talk is underrated. This morning, Jefferies Group, Inc. (NYSE:JEF) reiterated its buy rating for Deckers Outdoor Corp (NASDAQ:DECK) , but it also increased its target from $50 to $60. Wow! As expected, Deckers jumped like a person wearing some other company's shoes — who can jump in Uggs? — and this morning the stock went up 5%. The move is evidence of the kind of faith that we put in ratings, and how much those little words — buy, sell, hold, outperform, etc. — can mean to companies. It's also evidence of how short our memories are. In January last year, Jefferies reiterated its buy rating for Deckers with a price target of $125 — hope you didn't buy then.
The Jefferies effect
Back in early 2012, the stock was trading around $85 and Jefferies had just had a great meeting with the company's management team. The ratings agency was excited by the huge sales growth potential that came from Deckers' recent acquisition of the Sanuk brand. This year, Jefferies is excited that it's been cold.
In the newest update, Jefferies analysts mentioned that the cold weather was going to help Deckers out. It also said that strong sales around Black Friday show that "the brand is still very relevant (and NOT dead)." Based on the bounce this morning, investors must take it as a strong sign that analysts have to emphasize the fact that a brand isn't dead.
But there's a lesson to be learned here. As much as it's idiotic that the company would jump based on one analyst report — even when the analyst has shown itself to be bad at predicting the very company it's talking about — it's also idiotic to take that analysis to prove the opposite of what's true. Deckers should be judged sensibly based on its current sales, income-generating potential, cash flow position, and brand strength. So let's actually look at those, and see what's really in store for Deckers.
Underlying performance
Let's start with sales. In the company's last reported quarter, same-store sales dropped 13%, while total sales fell 9%. That decrease has partially been offset by an increase in selling prices, which the company has had to put in place to offset rising sheepskin prices. In 2012, sheepskin rose 40% in cost on top of a 30% increase in 2011. The good news is that in 2013, prices for sheepskin are locked in, and are 11% lower than 2012's prices. That's going to help the company's gross margin, which fell 7 percentage points last quarter due to those cost pressures.
The combination of sales and costs means that income has been hammered recently. In the last quarter, earnings per share fell 26% to $1.18. Oddly, the company has managed to control its finances a bit, even with the walls weakening around it. Free cash flow has increased over the last year, though it's still running negative.

Poster submissions are invited for submission by 30 March 2018. The Update organizers will work with students submitting on format, graphics and printing.
Each Update includes presentations of political, economic, legal and social developments that address the conference theme. The first Philippine Update was organized in 2012. The Philippines Update is supported by the Australian National University and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
