Abstract: A table with a molded plastic body and a molded plastic plug fitted in a large round bottom opening in the body. A sealed internal body volume accommodates ballast. An internal hollow sleeve extends from an opening in the top of the body two a hollow core in the plug. An upper and lower corrugated gripping elements in the hollow sleeve and in the hollow core of the plug grip the pole of an umbrella. The round plug retained in the large round bottom opening by spin welding the round plug within the large round bottom opening.

Abstract: The present invention relates to variants of porcine granulocyte colony stimulating factor (pG-CSF). The pG-CSF variants are useful in treating preventing or reducing the incidence of bacterial infections in swine. Methods of treating swine are disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are porcine interferon alpha variants (pINF-?) comprising a synthetic amino acid at select locations in pINF-? and a one or two amino acid insertion in the N-terminus after removal of the signal peptide. The pINF-? variants can further be pegylated. Methods of making and administering these compounds to treat virus infections in pigs and formulations comprising the variants are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to haploid oil palm plants and homozygous doubled haploid oil palm plants. The invention also relates to methods for producing and selecting haploid and doubled haploid plants. More particularly, but not exclusively, the method may be used for selecting haploid and doubled haploid oil palm plants. Haploid and doubled haploid plants are selected by a large-scale screening based on a combination of the phenotype with the use of molecular methods combined with flow cytometry techniques to identify haploid and doubled haploid plants. More particularly, a method for selecting haploid and doubled haploid plants is described comprising: (a) germinating seeds; (b) selecting seedlings with atypical phenotype; (c) assessing heterozygosity using markers; (d) isolating cells from the seedlings and determining the DNA content of the cells; and (e) isolating and purifying the DNA and using defined molecular markers to characterise the genotype of the plant.

Abstract: A method for creating a standard type greeting card constructed of standard paper stock which in addition to delivering written text and artwork to the recipient, can also deliver a physical hug to the recipient as the surrogate of the sender, the process comprising the steps of selecting a paper stock that can accept and retain written text and/or artwork and which will, when held in a coiled position for a length of time, assume a coil-biased condition that will gently resist unraveling, and when initially unraveled, will bias back towards the coiled condition; adding printing and artwork as desired to the paper stock while that stock is in its flat condition; cutting the stock into the overall desired shape of the greeting card; rolling the now cut paper stock greeting card into a scroll-type configuration; and inserting the scrolled card into a tubular container that can also be used as the shipping container for the card, such that the container becomes part of the manufacturing process by which the desi
