Abstract: A flag capable of being unfurled or crested in the wind without a flagpole comprising a flag with means for attaching the flag to a finger on a hand, the attaching means comprising panels that sandwich an end section of the flag, the attaching means further comprising a tubular member integrally attached to the panels, and wherein the tubular member has an inside diameter in an unstretched mode less than the outside diameter of a finger.

Abstract: A method for treatment of a mammalian neurological disease characterized by impaired neuromodulator function, the method comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a composition including a compound of a prenylcysteine or an analog thereof in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The compound comprises a prenylcysteine or analog thereof selected from farnesylcysteine, N-acetylfarnesylcysteine, N-acetylgeranylcysteine, N-acetylfanesylcysteine, N-acetylgeranylcysteine, farnesyl-2-mercaptoethanesulfonic acid, farnesylthioacetic acid, and farnesylmercaptosuccinic acid.
