Abstract: The disclosure relates to isolated microorganisms—including novel strains of the microorganisms—microbial consortia, and agricultural compositions comprising the same. Furthermore, the disclosure teaches methods of utilizing the described microorganisms, microbial consortia, and agricultural compositions comprising the same, in methods for imparting beneficial properties to target plant species. In particular aspects, the disclosure provides methods of increasing desirable plant traits in agronomically important crop species.

Abstract: The process includes steps for using raw yarn; dying the yarn; drying the dyed yarn by heating it; using the yarn in an appropriate loom machine such as a Jaquard loom or a needle loom to form concentrically-tubed shoe lace stock having a ridge on its outer tube; cutting the stock into desired shoe lace lengths; tipping the ends of the shoe lace lengths; inspecting the shoe laces; and placing the acceptable shoe laces in one area and the rejected shoe laces in another area. The objective of using the process is shown as variations of special shoe laces.

Abstract: An instructional system for teaching the tying of shoelaces using at least one shoelace (1) having a first half section (2) which is preferably light in color, for example, yellow, and a second half section (3), which is preferably dark in color, for example, blue. The two half sections (2) and (3) are permanently secured to one another to form the shoelace (1). Markings (5) are located at a predetermined distance on the first half section (2) of the shoelace (1) to assist a person in learning to tie a shoelace (1).

Abstract: A pair of oval woven shoe laces, each lace about 51 inches long and each end of the two laces being cut and tipped. One half of each lace being a solid dark color and the other half of each lace being a solid light color. Preferably the solid dark color is royal blue and the solid light color is canary yellow and the circumference of each lace except for its tipped and cut ends is 0.5 inches.
