Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising a purified population of one or more microorganisms for producing a dough or baked food product. Said compositions may improve fermentation of the dough or baked food product by enhancing rheological properties, improving nutritional quality, and/or increasing shelf-life of the dough or baked food product.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to isolated microorganisms, including novel strains of the microorganisms, synthetic bioensembles, and compositions comprising the same. Furthermore, the disclosure teaches methods of utilizing the described microorganisms, synthetic bioensembles, and compositions comprising the same, in methods for modulating the health of equine animals. In particular aspects, the disclosure provides methods of treating and/or preventing colic and shifting the gut microbiome.

Abstract: A method of event planning through a social network requires at least one remote server and a corresponding personal computing device. The at least one remote server stores the information of each planned-event location, event posting, and user account. The method begins by receiving a planned-event location from the corresponding PC device. An event posting is generated based on the planned-event location with the remote server. A plurality of related user accounts is designated to the arbitrary account based on the user relationships with the remote server. An event notification for the event posting is sent to the corresponding PC device of each related account. Each related account is prompted to send an event confirmation for the event posting through the corresponding PC device. If the remote server receives the event confirmation, at least one attendee account is designated for the event posting with the remote server.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for increasing the resistance of a plant or of a plant's seed to abiotic stress which method comprises treating the seed from which the plant is to grow with at least one strobilurin. The invention further relates to the use of at least one strobilurin for increasing the resistance of a plant or of a plant's seed to abiotic stress.

Abstract: A leader and fish hook combination has eyes or loops formed at both ends of the leader so that the leader can be attached to the fishing line with either the one eye or the other. The fish hook, or more than one fish hook, has the leader threaded through the eye end of the fish hook. The leader passes through the eye of each hook, but is not tied to it, leaving the hook free to slide along the leader. Fastened one way, the hook is presented outward, and if fastened or tied off the other way, the hook presented inward. In that orientation, the lower eye projects over the hook portion so the rig serves as a weedless hook.

Abstract: A reversible necktie having two different sides, the necktie being worn with either side facing outward from the wearer, including a pair of fabrics cut into matching necktie shapes, sewn together along their longitudinal side edges, and a liner sewn to the stitched fabric pieces at the wide end of the necktie, the sewing forming a continuous internal seam. The small ends of the fabric pieces are folded and sewn. No external stitching is visible on the completed necktie.
