It is ideally excellent to be eaten as a healthy choice alone or in combination with other foods, such as a variety of cheeses, jams, fruits and meats.

Abstract: An article of commerce includes a disposable cleaning article and a package. The package exhibits soft visual and sound characteristics, which convey a desired quality to be associated with the enclosed cleaning article. The package is formed as a multilayer packaging film including at least a co-extruded vapor barrier film layer and a polymeric film layer having a melting point at least about 20° C. less than the co-extruded film layer laminated to the co-extruded film layer. The polymeric film layer is sealable to form the package so as to enclose the disposable cleaning article, thereby to substantially retain the water content of the disposable cleaning article. The polymeric film layer further exhibits a corrected sound level of less than approximately 50 decibels at readily audible frequencies, such as 3-5 kHz. The reduced sound level may be achieved by providing a film with a high loss tangent. In addition, the multilayer packaging film may have an outer surface with a soft or “matte” appearance.

Abstract: A domino card game having a plurality of playing cards and a container-playing field with a removable cover. The, cards are marked with two sets of pips in the manner of domino tiles with numerical designations on the upper left-hand corner of each card. The container-playing filed serves as the playing field for a domino-like card game, the sides of the container protecting the game from disturbances. The cards are played by two to four players, by placing their cards in turn, within the container by covering at least a set of pips of the previously played cards remaining visible within the container. The container with lid stores the playing cards and the sides of the container protect the cards from wind and other disturbances during the game.

Abstract: A hand-held, gourd based percussion instrument, has a modified guiro gourd with two maraca gourds extended outwardly therefrom. A hollow, elongate guiro gourd is modified by having its ends removed and replaced with light-bulb shaped maracas with the spherical portions extending outwardly, the maracas attached by means of an extended member within the cylindrical center of the guiro. With sounding furrows on the outer surface of the cylindrical center and sounding pebbles within, the furrows are stroked with a rasper and the instrument is shaken to produce rhythmic sounds.

Abstract: A skateboard-type vehicle of wide dimensions features a centrally located, weight supporting upright with laterally pointing handles. The height of the upright is adjustable and the platform is reinforced and has an edge protector. The novel features enable a user to control the direction of the board with the handles, to straddle in an eagle-like fashion upon the upright and to perform jumps with the skateboard.

Abstract: The ano-genital self-viewing device is used in conjunction with a conventional toilet to permit a person to conveniently view his or her own ano-genital region while seated in the conventional manner. The device has a fluorescent lamp with batteries, supporting arms to contain the device below the user and mirrors, one planar to reflect normal images and another concave to reflect magnified images from the illuminated ano-genital region upwards. The arms and mirrors fold compactly onto the base of the device to facilitate transportation and storage.
