Abstract: Systems and methods generate a value system scheme defining target entities and recommendations therefore that is usable to develop a value system in a given area. The target entities may include current entities within the area, as well as additional entities needed to successfully implement the value system. The scheme may define a list of use cases, which may be prioritized to further increase viability of the value system when implemented. The scheme may be used to develop a support system based on the recommendations therein. Responsibilities for developing and using the scheme may be distributed amongst different entities to ensure lack of conflicts of interest.

Abstract: The golf club charm identifiers are a set of customized icons for personalizing a set of golf clubs with head covers and identifying the covered clubs. Each icon is provided in a predetermined dimension and a predetermined shape having an aperture for receiving a connector, such as a split key ring and the like. Each icon may also have a predetermined color for further personalization and club identification. Each connector is attachable to a fabric loop affixed to a golf club cover. The icons personalize the covers and symbolize the underlying club in order to identify the covered club. Each icon is formed with a selected shape for personalization of a set of golf clubs and provides a non-numeric symbol objectively representing the underlying club. Charms identifying a club may be further personalized by having a pet name, a shape different from the rest, and the like.

Abstract: A religion-based trivia game played on a game board having a game path formed of a plurality of spaces, where at least one space is a religious-action space and each space is associated with at least one of a plurality of religions. The game includes trivia cards with religion-based trivia questions and answers printed thereon, the trivia questions based on the plurality of religions. The game also includes a debate mechanism and a religious-action mechanism. The debate mechanism allows an opposing team to challenge a playing team if they believe the playing team has provided an incorrect answer to a trivia question. The religious-action mechanism requires a team to perform a religious action when the team's token lands on the religious-action space. The religions include Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, New Religious Movement, Jainism, Baha'i Faith, Confucianism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, Zoroaster, Vodun, eastern religions, classical paganism, and prehistoric religions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a powdered human milk fortifier comprising a protein component typically present in an amount of from about 24 wt/wt % to about 55 wt/wt % of the fortifier powder, and a fat component typically present in an amount of from about 1 wt/wt % to about 30 wt/wt % of the fortifier powder. Preferably, the powdered human milk fortifier is provided in a unit dose container which holds from about 0.5 gm to about 10 gm of powder. The instant invention also relates to a method of providing nutrition to preterm infants by adding a fortifier powder to human milk and administering the fortified human milk to a premature infant. The invention further provides a method of promoting growth of a premature infant by administering fortified human milk to a premature infant.

Abstract: This invention relates to a palatable elemental nutritional formula that is nutritionally complete for humans with specialized dietary needs. The nutritional of the present invention uses specific free amino acids to provide the source of amino nitrogen (protein equivalents) and a special blend of fats that provides 38 to 50% of the total Calories in a pleasant tasting formula. The nutritionally complete formula of this invention is useful for children having multiple protein allergies, short gut syndrome, sick gut, diarrhea and the like. More specifically, the nutritional product, in accordance with this invention, utilizes L-asparagine monohydrochloride and L-glutamine in place of L-aspartic acid and L-glutamic acid, respectively. In addition, the source of fat comprises soy, fractionated coconut oil (medium chain triglycerides), high oleic safflower oil and esterified glycerol emulsifiers.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an .about.1.4 kb Bc1I-Sau3A restriction fragment containing the minimal replicon of the Streptomyces coelicolor plasmid SCP2*. This minimal replicon was deduced from plasmid derivatives constructed by in vitro deletions and has been identified as the smallest, self-replicating segment of the SCP2* plasmid. The minimal replicon specifies an ultrahigh level of plasmid DNA (more than 1000 fold increase from the basic replicon) when vectors containing this sequence are transformed into Streptomyces lividans. This replicon can be used to construct smaller, more efficient recombinant DNA shuttle vectors to clone DNA into streptomycetes.
