Board for traveling in ocean surf and method of fabricating same. The board includes a platform having a generally planer configuration. The platform includes a pair of relatively deep anti-slip knee wells of sufficient depth in the top surface thereof for allowing a surfer to make radical changes in board motion using his knees. According to an embodiment of the board, a channel extends along a portion of a bottom surface of the platform or optionally along the entire bottom surface of the platform for stabilizing the platform's trajectory, increasing the speed of the platform, and adding drive and direction to the platform while maneuvering in the ocean surf.

The method for increasing yield of crop plants uses foliar application to the plants during the plant growth stage of a granular fertilizer consisting essentially of urea, ammonium sulfate and a fertilizer stabilizing agent. The stabilizing agent regulates and slows down decomposition nitrogen in urea and/or ammonium sulfate to maximize use thereof. The granular fertilizer has a urea/ammonium sulfate weight ratio of about 4/1 and contains at least 40% nitrogen and at least 4% sulfur. The relatively high N&#x2014;S fertilizer is applied at relatively high rates of about 100 to 150 pounds per acre to ensure that the fertilizer nutrients are always available to the plants at several stages of growth.

The present invention provides AA targeting compounds which comprise AA targeting agent-linker conjugates which are linked to a combining site of an antibody. Various uses of the compounds are provided, including methods to treat disorders connected to abnormal angiogenesis.

A method for increasing the yield of rice crop plants by foliar application to the plants during the plant growth stage a granular fertilizer consisting essentially of urea and ammonium sulfate in a urea/ammonium sulfate. The granular fertilizer has a urea/ammonium sulfate weight ratio of about 4/1 and contains at least 40% nitrogen and at least 4% sulfur. The relatively high N-S fertilizer is applied at relatively high rates of about 100 to 150 pounds per acre to ensure that the fertilizer nutrients are always available to the rice plants at several stages of their growing period.

A stereoscopic viewer using a prism to separate the two images and capable of producing a stereoscopic effect from one image due to refraction in the prism; in one embodiment a V shaped slide mount containing one transparency normally oriented and a second laterally reversed may be mounted in a housing causing a light switch to close, activating a bulb which illuminates a diffusing glass which lights the transparencies, the light passing through the transparencies to refract through the prism and converge on a front magnifying lens from which a viewer can see the image stereoscopically; a single slide may also be inserted in the viewer and a black flexible slide switch operated to cover one face of the prism and to light the bulb to show the image stereoscopically; movie films may be projected on screens and the images refracted through a prism and magnified through a magnifying lens to permit a viewer to see stereoscopic movies.

A bite indicating fishing light clips on a fishing rod and has upper and lower hooks projecting from it substantially parallel to the rod through which the fishing line passes so that bite produced tension on the line pulls the hooks into contact lighting the light. A longitudinally sliding switch button flexes one hook toward the other to turn on the light and to set the light's sensitivity to line tension. The lower hook has a base extending through a casing to form a bulb holding clip at the end of the casing remote from the hooks and the upper hook extends into the casing to form a battery contact at the end of the casing disposed toward the hooks. The casing is formed in two longitudinal halves one of which is hinged to the other on a downward and longitudinally bent pin formed from the base of the lower hook.
