Abstract: An athletic training system and method for maintaining the head of an individual in an upright position. The system may include an head member that attaches to the head, a torso member that attached to the body and a connecting member that connects and applies a degree of tension between the body member and head member such that the ability of the head to pivot forward and/or downward are limited. The athletic training device may thereby promote improved athletic technique and form including ball handling skills, court awareness, tackling posture, coordination, and cognition.

Abstract: An improved cooking oven having two flat surfaces covered by an enclosure. One of the flat surfaces serves as a base on which the enclosure rests and on which both fuel to be burned and food to be cooked are placed. The second of the flat surfaces, which is substantially parallel to and positioned above the flat surface that acts as the base, serves as a baffle to control the flow of combustion products from the burning fuel through the enclosure and as an additional cooking surface. Three openings in the wall of the enclosure are provided; two of which are used for passage of food and fuel therethrough. The third opening serves as a flue and provides a path through which combustion products from the burning fuel escape from the oven.
