Abstract: This invention provides methods for improving reproductive performance of lactating dairy cows and other mammals. The method in the case of cows comprises feeding to the cows, a composition comprising conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs), cis-9, trans-11 and trans-10, cis-12. When these CLAs are fed daily to dairy cows starting at or prior to calving, and continued after parturition, an improvement in reproductive performance is observed.

Abstract: A lawn and garden cart has a frame and an axle attached to the frame. A pair of wheels are attached to the axle, each wheel being rotatably attached to an opposing end of the axle. A longitudinal tow bar is attached to the frame at a first end, the tow bar including a connector at a second distal end. The cart further includes a container having a base, a plurality of generally vertical sidewalls and an angled rear wall, the container being pivotally attached to the frame and releasably coupled to the tow bar.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of human and animal nutrition, and in particular to certain novel compositions of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA). In particular, the present invention relates to CLA compositions comprising the c10,t12, c10,c12, t9,c11 and c9,c11 isomers of conjugated linoleic acid.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions and methods involving vaccenic acid. Such compositions and methods are useful for preventing cancer.

Abstract: A rectangular molded plastic body includes three heart-shaped clamping portions each of which defines an opening and has resilient inwardly extending arcuate portions terminating in ends spaced from one another. Each arcuate portion carries L-shaped members with upwardly extending conical portions. The outer end of one arcuate portion of each clamping portion has a sloping cam surface thereon which joins with a downwardly facing locking surface, and a handle is also formed on this outer end. Three clamping members are pivotally connected to the body by hinges and are pivotable into and out of the openings of the clamping portions. The clamping members engage the cam surfaces as they pivot into clamping position and are locked in place by the locking surfaces. The clamping members are released by pulling on the handles.
