Abstract: The present invention provides methodologies, including the utilization of genetically modified (GM) tobaccos, for the development and production of consumer acceptable PREPs encompassing the following: 1) production of low tar-to-nicotine ratio cigarettes, which allow smokers to obtain satisfying, amounts of nicotine more efficiently than conventional cigarettes while reducing whole smoke deliveries; thereby reducing smoker ‘compensation’ that exists with conventional low-yield cigarettes; 2) reduction of harmful tobacco-specific nitrosamines in tobacco products by genetic means and by extracting nicotine from tobacco and combining such with genetically modified reduced-nicotine tobacco; 3) production of improved expanded tobacco which utilizes genetically modified increased-nicotine tobacco; and 4) production of reconstituted tobacco which includes any combinations of the following: genetically modified increased-nicotine tobacco, genetically modified reduced-nicotine tobacco, tobacco leaf fractions, and fr

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for the fermentative production of ethanol comprising providing a reduced nicotine recombinant tobacco plant or a portion thereof, fermenting the plant or portion thereof in a fermentation vessel for a time sufficient to produce ethanol therefrom, and then collecting the ethanol from the fermentation vessel. The present invention also discloses a method of sustaining an animal subject comprising feeding the animal subject a reduced nicotine recombinant tobacco plant or a portion thereof. The present invention also discloses a method of producing a protein fraction from plant biomass comprising providing a reduced nicotine recombinant tobacco plant or a portion thereof and then collecting a protein fraction from the recombinant plant or plant portion.

Abstract: Free-standing, prescription, convex lens spectacles are mounted in front of a swivel mirror which benefits people with the eye condition hypermetropia or farsightedness. The free-standing lenses are rimless and are connected to L-shaped arms which are attached to the frame of the swivel mirror. The lenses are adjusted by an optometrist, along with the L-shaped arms to custom fit each individual. The farsighted person looks at the mirror through the lenses. One can now use two hands to apply cosmetics to eyes and face, or to attend to eyes and face without image being blurred, and by not having conventional spectacles on the face to only get in the way.
