Abstract: The present invention includes concrete block comprising one or more of limestone, volcanic ash, shellfish shells, seashells, rice hull ash, slag, fly ash, or any suitable combination of the same. The present invention further includes concrete block having one or more facial surface structures on one or more sides of the concrete block. The facial surface structures may include the structures referred to and illustrated herein as Socket Block, Fold Block, Bracket Block, Awning Block, Chisel Block, Spade Block, Shim Block, Pachinko Block, Tornado Block, Ripple Block, Sine Block, or Egg Block.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polypeptides obtained from bear derivative isolate which are useful in suppressing appetite. The polypeptides of the present invention are most preferably between 12 and 13 amino acid residues in length and a mass of about 1249. The present invention also relates to a method of treating obesity by administering to obese subjects an effective amount of the polypeptides of the present invention.

Abstract: A bear derived isolate found in denning black bears or black bears from which food has been withheld for at least two weeks when injected into another mammal produces reduced heart rate, reduced respiratory rate, reduced temperature, and a wakeful tranquility not unlike the phenomena of the denning black bear. The isolate is taken from either the serum or urine of such denning bear. The method of the invention involves the steps of fractionating the serum or urine of a denning black bear to produce fractions of varying potency.

Abstract: A composition for co-injection of an animal against a gram-negative pathogen which comprises an effective dose of a gram-negative type lipopolysaccharide devoid of O-carbohydrate side-chains and a bacterin derived from said pathogen. Methods of co-injection of an animal to protect the animal against gram-negative pathogens are also discussed.
