Abstract: In casting concrete retaining wall blocks (10), a plurality of mold inserts form a passage (20) between top (15) and bottom (16) surfaces of the block (10), a recess (21) in the block top between the passage (20) and the back (12) of the block (10) and a recess (22) in the bottom (16) of the block (10) between the passage (20) and the back (12) of the block (10). The recesses (21, 22) and the passage (20) are formed by a plurality of mold inserts. When the blocks (10) are used in a retaining wall, geogrid fabric (24) passes from the rear of the wall through one of the recesses (21, 22) in a block (10), through the passage (20) in the block (10) and through the other recess )21, 22) in the block (10) into backfill for stabilizing the wall.

Abstract: Techniques are described for determining relationships between user activities and determining search results and content recommendations based on the relationships. A plays-related-to-searches application may determine a relationship score between plays of a media title and searches of a query by determining a distance between a projection of the search onto the space of the users and a projection of plays of the media title onto the space of the users. A plays-after-searches application may determine a score for plays of the streaming media title given the search by multiplying a number of times plays of the media title occur after the query is entered by the number of times any play occurs, and dividing by a product of the number of times plays of the media title occur after any query is entered and the number of times plays of any media title occur after the query is entered.

Abstract: Foods or meals high in available carbohydrate such as sucrose or starch increase postprandial blood glucose concentrations. Repeated high post-prandial plasma glucose "spikes" are associated with an increased risk of developing type II diabetes. Unregulated glycemic excursions are undesirable, and any reduction or "blunting" of the post-prandial glucose concentration in blood is potentially beneficial. This invention relates to an edible composition for delay of intestinal glucose uptake through synergistic inhibition of both active sodium glucose co -transporter 1 (SGLT1) and passive glucose transporter 2 (GLUT2) leading to flattening or blunting of the post-prandial glucose peak. Thus in a first aspect of the invention, an edible composition is provided, the composition comprising at least 5% dry weight at least one flavonoid aglycone and at least 5% dry weight at least one flavonoid glucoside, wherein the flavonoid glucoside is at least 20 %, preferably at least 40 %, most preferably at least 60 % more resistant to hydrolysis by lactase phloridzin hydrolase than quercetin-4-glucoside, and wherein the flavonoid aglycone is a GLUT 2 inhibitor and the flavonoid glucoside is a SGLT 1 inhibitor.
