Abstract: A screwless bow or rifle support for the attachment to objects in a hunting environment such as trees without the need for screws or other bore holes.

Abstract: In some implementations, a method for reducing material loss includes adding, to a downhole fluid circulated through a drill string, encapsulants encapsulating one or more activators. One or more parameters in a wellbore associated with a fault in operating conditions are determined. One or more energy waves in the downhole fluid configured to release the one or more activators from the encapsulants are emitted.

Abstract: A category topic includes a data incarnation and a sensory representation. The appearance of the sensory representation is adjusted upon changes to the content of the data incarnation. In a described implementation, a title of the category topic is used to create the sensory representation as displayed on a user interface (UI). In another described implementation, the data incarnation includes a source definition and a keyword definition that jointly specify information that is to be included in the content. In yet another described implementation, at least part of a category topic may be shared with a destination user.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for use in subterranean operations, and more particularly, additives comprising one or more silicates used to treat tar resident in a well bore, and methods of use, are provided. In one embodiment, the method comprises a method of treating tar resident in a well bore comprising providing a tar-treating additive comprising one or more silicates introducing the tar-treating additive into the well bore; and allowing the tar-treating additive to react with the tar resident in the well bore so as to at least partially reduce the adhesiveness of the tar.
