Abstract: The present invention relates to therapeutic body massage devices, and more particularly, to an extendable and retractable massage device which is particularly effective in relieving tender and painful connective tissue and muscular conditions, including but not limited to trigger points. The present invention is directed to an appliance having an adjustable shaft that can access all points on both sides of the body and that allows an individual to place a pressure accessory element of the appliance between the body and a flat surface to apply sustained pressure to a treatment site with minimal effort without taxing other parts of the body and without the pressure accessory element dislodging from the treatment site. The present invention further provides a massage system and a method of self-administering massage therapy on a body or limb.

Abstract: A bookmark that indicates the exact last line of text read on a desired page of text or a specific location on a page where it is placed. The flap is hooked on the top of either face of a left or right page, over any column of text, over any image or a specific area to mark it for easy location at another time. The bookmark, utilizes two parts: a body with a folded section and an indicator with an indicia printed on it, which are used to indicate a location on the page. The body is a printed paper or a thin strip of material, of varying lengths, which has a top flap that folds over the top of a page to secure its vertical location on a that page.
