Abstract: An interactive game and method for promoting self-expression and awareness and improving group dynamics involves a game of chance goal for selecting a random performance activity from among various self-awareness and self-expression questions, physical challenges, and role-play scenarios, and including the possibility of passing a question or challenge to another participant.

Abstract: A light steel framing construction technique for light gauge load bearing wall type buildings uses specialized brackets to suspend poured slab floors. Multiple stories of the building can be erected without waiting for individual concrete slab floors to be poured and set at each story. During construction, a building is protected from torsional warping, such as may be occur under wind loads, by a series of lateral and diagonal bracing structures at each level affixed in a plane perpendicular to the load bearing elements. Multiple concrete floor slabs can be poured sequentially or simultaneously, as desired, during the construction process.

Abstract: A knee protection apparatus has a knee protecting portion affixed atop one or more fixator struts which surround the side of a user's lower leg, and descend behind the leg near the Achilles tendon area of the wearer and continuing into the user's shoe where a heel cup grasps the user's foot at a posterior and plantar portion of the heel. The fixator strut or struts work to minimize or eliminate the vertical, horizontal and rotational movement of the knee pad away from its primary and intended area of protection at the patella.

Abstract: A method for precisely spacing knots in a string utilizing a generally flat, rectangular board; a centered post projecting outwardly of and generally perpendicular to the board for enabling tying the free end of the string about the post to enable forming of knots in the string upon tightening of same; and, a plurality of selectable measurement points on the board, aligned longitudinally, transversely of the board and extending outwardly from the post in equidistantly spaced relation and for enabling positioning a predetermined point along the string at one of the selectable measurement points, the spacing between the predetermined point along the string and a knot formed at the post being determined by the spacing between the post and the selected measurement point. The method is used in forming jewelry by interspersing beads between knots whose positions have been pre-selected, using the technique set forth.
