Abstract: A method for providing personalized wellness programs can include the step of receiving participant metrics, the metrics including data elements indicative of a plurality of mental and physical attributes relating to wellness of an associated participant. Numerical weights can be assigned to selective ones of these metrics. A wellness program can be algorithmically determined based at least in part upon the assigned weights. The wellness program can include multiple stages. A first one of these stages can be presented to the participant. The participants performance of the first stage of the program can be automatically evaluated using a data-driven approach. The performance evaluation can be based at least in part upon the participant metrics. A second one of the stages can be presented when the evaluated performance indicates a successful completion of the first stage.

Abstract: A method for affixing a support member to a grain-based edible can include the step of directly coupling an extruded support member to the grain-based edible. The grain-based edible coupled to the support member can be soaked in an edible mixture after the grain-based edible has been baked. The grain-based edible coupled to the support member can be heated until the mixture absorbed within the grain-based edible is approximately solidified. The heating can enhance the adhesive characteristics between the grain-based edible and the support member such that the adhesive characteristics are sufficient to permit the grain-based edible to be held by the extruded portion of the support member during ingestion of the grain-based edible without the un-ingested portion of the grain-based edible decoupling from the support member.

Abstract: This invention relates to a device that is inserted into a golfer's shoes as a front and rear insole in order to have each foot respond properly, yet differently during the golf swing to achieve the optimum golf swing. The front foot (relative to the ball direction) includes an insole insert having a centerline thickness longitudinally to encourage a rolling action of the front foot during the swing, while the rear foot includes a wedge-shaped insole to properly position the back foot during the swing.
