Two charged in Garden District killing now face robbery charges in separate incident
Kirsten Fiscus
Two Montgomery residents charged with capital murder in a robbery and shooting in the Garden District this month have now been charged with robbery in a separate incident.
Montgomery police Capt. Regina Duckett said Wednesday that Taketrin Bivins, 28, and 16-year-old Jay'Shun Edwards were charged with robbery in an incident on Aug. 4 about 11:30 p.m. in the 3400 block of Malabar Road.
The robbery was about a week before 29-year-old Samuel James was shot while inside his vehicle near the intersection of South Hull Street and Earl Place. James was removed from the vehicle during the course of the robbery, police have said.
More:Two charged in South Hull Street shooting
Duckett said the victim in the Aug. 4 incident reported to police that he was robbed at gunpoint by two suspects who took his vehicle and property. The victim had minor injuries after being struck by the suspects, Duckett said.
Police identified Bivins and Edwards as the suspects in the Aug. 4 robbery and were able to find the victim's vehicle.

Designations of Origin an Geographical Indications
What requirements must be met to register a PDO or PGI on an international level?
In order to apply for international registration of the designation of origin, the company must previously have the designation protected in its own country. It is not a designation of origin which can be registered all over the world, but only in the countries which are signatories of the Lisbon Agreement. One application can obtain designation in all the countries.
Can anyone register for the PDO or PGI application?
The application for registration can only be filed by a group of producers or processors (Regulatory Council), or exceptionally, by an individual or legal entity. In the case of designations for a cross-border geographical area, several groups may file a joint application.
What scope of protection do Designations of Origin and Geographical Indications have?
Designations of origin for food products can be protected both on an international and a community level.
What is the Protected Geographical Indication?
A Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) is the name of a region, or a specific place or, in exceptional cases, a country, which serves to designate a farming or food product: -which comes from that region, specific place or country, -which possesses a specific quality, reputation or other characteristics which can be attributed to the aforementioned geographical origin, and -whose production, processing and preparation are carried out within the determined geographical area.
What is the protected Designation of Origin?
A Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) is the name of a region, or a specific place or, in exceptional cases, a country, which serves to designate a farming or food product: –	which comes from that region, specific place or country, –	whose quality or characteristics are essentially or exclusively attributable to the geographical environment with its natural and human factors, and –	whose production, processing and preparation are carried out within the determined geographical area.

Environment Minister Peter Kent and Veterans Affairs Minister Steven Blaney today announced an investment of $600.8 million over five years to renew the Clean Air Regulatory Agenda, (CARA), which has served as the framework for the Government to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality since 2006.
"Vulnerable Canadians, including young children, elderly Canadians, and people who suffer from chronic heart and respiratory illnesses will benefit from our action to improve the quality of the air we breathe through our Clean Air Regulatory Agenda," added Minister Blaney.
· Nation-wide implementation of the Air Quality Health Index to help Canadians make informed decisions to protect their health.
This renewed funding will allow standards to be set that will define what clean air means, regulate good emissions performance by industry and bring on a comprehensive national approach to air emissions reduction. Taking concrete action to reduce emissions from major sectors of the economy is a key part of the Government's work to improve the environment and deliver real results for all Canadians.

Smartphone addiction: We are becoming slaves to screens
Lawrence Liang reflects on the world's love affair with the Smartphone.
On a recent trip to Tokyo, I was struck by the number of people travelling on the subway who were glued to their phones and it was difficult to identify more than a handful who were not looking at a screen of some form or the other. While this is not entirely surprising given how technologically determined Japan is, it is an experience that is not entirely alien to us in India either.
A trip on the Delhi Metro also reveals a similar pattern and there are now a number of studies that speculate on the average time that people spend looking at their phones (which range from a conservative three hours to a scary eight hours). What are we to make of the rapid proliferation of screen cultures in our lives which are very different from the classical screens of television or cinema.
Unlike classical screens which were based on there appeal to a wider audience, mobile phones and tablets are primarily personal devices which serve as the new interface through which you connect to the world, and as personal devices they are also our archives of personal memory, desires and anxieties. It is not uncommon to find people extremely anxious if they have misplaced their phones or even forgotten it at home. We find ourselves getting anxious if someone does not immediately reply to a message we have sent them and in that sense a phone is more than a tool of communication, it is an intimate interface which powerfully alters our experience of time, of relationships and our sense of the world.
It is now increasingly difficult to imagine romance before the world of SMS and the idea of a love letter seems alien to an entire generation accustomed to an intimate immediacy. The philosopher Donna Haraway had provocatively suggested that it may make more sense to think of ourselves as cyborgs – a formulation that prophesied a post-human world in which there was no idea of a pure human which was not mediated by some form of technology or the other.
Imagine for instance, a person who depends on spectacles to see properly. Would this person be the same without their glasses or does their subjectivity and their experience of the world change without the prosthetic extension of their eyes? Extending this analogy to the phone as intimate interface, how do we think of our dependence on the phone as the new collective security blanket of our times? Often the desire to look at a phone while waiting in a public place may not even have a functional purpose, but merely because it is what we use to shield ourselves from boredom or from the gaze of the world.
But what happens to our imagination of strangers and of the public sphere if we stop looking at other? Do we, as it seems to be the case in Japan, run the risk of creating a society in which every gaze of a stranger is potentially a hostile or rude one. Richard Sennett famously argued that cities are where strangers meet, a cosmopolitan ideal that runs the risk of being lost in our immersion in screens.

Obama's Frank Talk About the 'Tension' of the 'Shovel-Ready' Concept
By Elana Schor
During today's White House jobs summit, President Obama stopped into an infrastructure session where 21 representatives from business, labor, state and local governments, social equity groups, and think tanks were sharing ideas on how to maximize the benefit of transportation spending.
President Obama held a "jobs summit" today. (Photo: whitehouse via Flickr)
"Everybody in this administration acknowledges the need for infrastructure investment," Obama said, adding that "there is nothing I'd rather do in terms of long-term economic growth."
He went on to address "tensions" inherent in the process of allocating transportation aid to maximize quick job creation while also focusing on projects that can improve long-term U.S. quality of life. Before asking attendees to think about "what we can do to make 'shovel-ready' more shovel-ready," Obama explained to a live online audience:
The tension we've been seeing is that what's
good in the long term may not necessarily work as an immediate, short-term stimulus. We're still getting
smacked around from the Recovery Act on this … infrastructure generally has a longer tail. The term "shovel-ready," let's be honest here, doesn't always live up to its billing.
There is also a tension
embodied in infrastructure … between immediate maintenance [such as] repaving a highway, which is generally more shovel-ready but may imply duplicating the needs of the past as opposed to projects that are visionary and
will deliver real bang for the buck in the long term but may require extensive planning.
The concerns Obama raised today are playing out once again as Congress weighs a new round of economic recovery funding that's likely to involve more infrastructure spending than the first stimulus law, about 6 percent of which went to transportation. Transit and road interests have released lists of "ready-to-go" projects, but few details are available so far on the nature of the work to be done — and the transit list doesn't include the job-rich prospect of operating aid.
Today's transportation session generated an array of pitches, with many attendees backing the proposed National Infrastructure Bank that Obama himself re-endorsed during his visit. Reed Hundt, co-chairman of the Coalition for the Green Bank, suggested that lawmakers not wait for a climate bill to clear the Senate but instead create the "clean energy deployment administration" envisioned in that measure as part of jobs legislation.
Frank Cownie, mayor of Des Moines, spoke for fellow urban leaders by urging the administration to send direct transportation funding to cities. Cownie said his metropolitan planning organization (MPO) received more than 100 submissions for a maximum of 16 potential transport projects that could be funded.
In an era of dwindling state budgets, Cownie told Obama, "only by a partnership with the federal government are we going to be able to make it happen."
Paula Hammond, Washington state's transportation secretary, made the case for expanding the stimulus law's competitive TIGER program — which received $57 billion in bids for $1.5 billion in grants — as a way to break down hidebound method of distributing money between transit, roads, and other modes.
But the final call rests with Obama. And today he appeared acutely aware of the pressure to combat the current unemployment, with long-term remaking of the nation's transportation system remaining a priority, but coming further down the line.
"Without the American people seeing
this translating into job growth right now, it's tough to get them interested in things happening two years
down the road," Obama said.
Friday Update: House transportation committee chairman Jim Oberstar (D-MN) today called Obama's comments on infrastructure "uninformed" during an interview with the Journal of Commerce.
"It was absolutely stunning to me," Oberstar said of Obama's candor on the trade-off between small-scale yet "shovel-ready" projects and long-term transportation investments.
Oberstar pointed a finger, as he often has in the past, at White House economic adviser Larry Summers, charging the former Clinton administration counselor with turning the president against infrastructure's economic benefits.
"This is the Larry Summers Effect at the White House," Oberstar told the Journal. "This person does not understand, nor believe in, nor read
figures of success in the infrastructure program."

Here's an mp3 for Jillian from Footprints Diary, of me playing The Steadfast Love Of The Lord Never Ceases on my flute.
Thank you so much ♥ – that was absolutely beautiful – well done!
You are a lady of many talents, and best of all, they're used for the Lord.
God's blessings are indeed new every morning – great is His faithfulness.
I might post some more over the coming weeks.


You can't simply just pick one event for September. The entire month is jam-packed with festivities, and it can sometimes feel like there's something to do every day. The events start with the celebration of St. George's Caye Day on September 10, and patriotic festivities continue at a breakneck pace until the nation's Independence Day on September 21.
After being exiled from their homeland in the Caribbean for an uprising against the British, the Garifuna diaspora finally found a home in Belize. It's been over two centuries since their arrival, but their arrival in Belize is memorialized every November 19. The remaining Garifuna, comprising 4% of the population, relive their arrival in traditional dugout canoes. But that's just the start of a day of festivities that's rich with food, dance, and music.
Scheduled for the first week of June, the annual Mango Festival celebrates the harvest of one of the most emblematic fruits grown in Belize. Located in the laidback and inviting coastal village of Hopkins, the village spotlights the over 20 different varieties of mango that grow in the region. In addition to music, contests, and competitions, guests can stuff themselves on delicious mangos and a number of different dishes made with the local produce.
The people of the Placencia Peninsula welcome in the Summer season with the three day Lobsterfest event. This year's Lobsterfest will take place from June 21 – 23, and it will bring out some of the region's most talented chefs who compete to create the tastiest lobster dish. But there's a lot more to do than just eat. It's also an opportunity for local artisans to show off their product, and a beach party ensures that festivities continue well into the night.
The Maya Empire once spanned the majority of Belize, but while their government may have long fallen, that doesn't mean the culture has withered away. Taking place in San Pedro, Ambergris Caye, the Costa Maya Festival has become one of the largest events in the country. Traditional festivities like live music, dancing, and strong drinks and food are complemented by a beauty pageant. This year's festival will be held in the first week of August.
There's plenty to do throughout Belize, but if you want to explore everything, you'll need a way to get around. Rely on the shuttle and tour services available through untamebelize.com if you want to make the most of your time in Belize.

Hijab Palava: MURIC accused CAN of failing to learn from history
Ishaq Akintola
Following a court ruling approving Muslim female students to wear hijab to school, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has stated that the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has not learned from history.
The Muslim group also stated that it will see who blinks first as it concerns the crisis in Kwara schools.
Some schools built by churches in the state have rejected the court ruling and insisted that Hijabs will never be allowed in their school.
There was a clash between Christian and Muslim parents on Wednesday, March 17 over the Hijab crisis that erupted at the Baptist Secondary School, Surulere in Ilorin, the state capital, leaving three injured as both parties threw stones at each other.
However, in a statement released by Ishaq Akintola, director of the Nigerian Islamic human rights group, he accused CAN of instigating a crisis.
He wondered why the Christian leaders have refused to comply with the court's ruling.
He called on the state government to hold the leadership of the Christian body in the state responsible if the crisis goes beyond the extent it currently is.
"We are perturbed that people who claim to be civilised are disrespecting the rule of law. CAN is to blame for all these. CAN was the one that called on its members to occupy that school. Fortunately, the ugly scene only played out in one out of ten schools. But it is a big shame that in the 21st century, Kwara CAN is turning its members against democratic norms, against the rule of law," the statement reads.
"Kwara High Court and the Court of Appeal have ruled in favour of hijab. It is, therefore, illegal, illegitimate, unlawful and unconstitutional for CAN to insist that its members should not obey the courts and that the schools should not allow female Muslim students to use the hijab or even enter the school premises. It is the height of lawlessness.
"We assert that CAN should be held responsible for whatever happens in those schools. We wonder why the Nigerian civil society is silent over this open rape on the rule of law. Is it because Muslims are at the receiving end? Is it because Christian leadership is the culprit? We reject selective justice.
"Those who are most vehement when democracy is in jeopardy must also speak up when any principle of democracy is under threat. Refusal to obey a court order is a flagrant confrontation of democracy and a threat to good governance, law and order and peaceful coexistence. Or is CAN above the law?
"It is unfortunate that CAN has failed to learn from history. Christian students' latest order to wear strange garments like church choir and masquerade dresses to school will fail woefully, just as it did in Osun State. For how long can Christian students wear choir dresses to school. We will see who blinks first.
"We invite all right-thinking Nigerians to take a critical look at the game playing out in Kwara State. It is a well-known fact in modern society that any group that flouts court pronouncement is inviting chaos. This is precisely what CAN is doing in Kwara State. We, therefore, call on stakeholders to call CAN to order.
MURIC warns the Kwara State Government (KWSG) against compromising its authority over this issue. Any attempt by KWSG to spoon-feed CAN or sweep the Muslim girl-child's right to wear hijab under the carpet will be resisted by the Muslim community. The law is on our side. On hijab, we stand" his statement reads.

Iran offers $5,000 reward for best artistic, literary work on Prophet of Mercy Muhammad (PBUH): Works' submission deadline extended
The aim of the organization of such event is to shed light on the uniqueness and originality of these creative genres and turn them into tools to defend the prophet of humanity and mercy, the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), highlighting his noble virtues and values.
NOURNEWS - Human civilization has significantly flourished with the arrival of prophet Muhammed (PBUH) and the spread of Islam as a religion of love, culture and creativity. In fact, the Islamic civilization portrayed a new world enclosed with wisdom and art. It has enriched humanity with the production of a wide range of works of art, including calligraphy, ceramics, metalwork, photography, to name a few, but also extends more widely to include literature, theatre, architecture and music.
The many followers of Islam are spread around the globe from traditional lands in the Middle East and parts of Africa to metropolitan European cities. This extremely varied group of people nevertheless shares a distinct and rich style of arts, architecture, poetry, epic literature, painting, calligraphy, illumination, architects and miniature.
Being under the influence of Islamic art, the world has learnt much about peculiarities, originality, and uniqueness of Islamic art, literature and culture that are not narrowed to spirituality as this Islamic heritage is not restricted to religious themes, but instead includes all of the art and literature of the rich and varied cultures of Islamic societies.
Furthermore, the deployment of Islamic arts, literature, poems, especially those of Rumi and Hafez, has diminished a considerable imposition of the Western world on the global culture and serves as a power confronting intensive deployment of Western trends and ideologies.
Nowadays, the Islamic art is experiencing a new era with the emergence of modern genres, including graphics, digital art and photography.
To this end, World Congress "Muhammad (PBUH)" Prophet of Mercy, in the Mirror of Literature and Art", hosted by the Iranian city of culture and art, "SHIRAZ", with the support of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, will be held in seven languages, namely; Persian, English, Arabic, Turkish, German , French and Russian. The aim of the organization of such event is to shed light on the uniqueness and originality of these creative genres and turn them into tools to defend the prophet of humanity and mercy, the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), highlighting his noble virtues and values.
This event is open to all and no registration fee is required. It includes the following sections and sub-sections:
Painting, poster, digital art, photography, calligraphy, calligraphy painting, typography, Tazhib, short film, and clip.
Literary:
Poetry, short story, novel, and literary prose.
Best selected artwork among the art sections will be awarded US$5000, congress special medal, valuable local handicrafts, congress special statue, honorary diploma and selected artworks' booklet.
Three top selected artists in national and international sections will be given valuable awards.
As such, all submitted works are needed to address the main themes of the congress. Participants are called to send their works after creating an account on the website (www.wcam.ir).
It is worth mentioning that the submission deadline has been extended till September, 03rd 2021corresponding to Muḥarram 25th, 1443.
For further details, please visit the congress official website to take note of the submission guidelines and gain more information about the special prizes for each section.

GOP Rep. Sean Duffy Of Wisconsin Resigning From Congress
By Scott Bauer & Associated Press • Aug 26, 2019
Republican Rep. Sean Duffy announced Monday that he is resigning next month to spend more time with his family.
Republican Rep. Sean Duffy, a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump who represents northern Wisconsin in Congress, announced Monday that he is resigning next month to spend more time with his family.
Duffy, 47, posted on Facebook that he recently learned that his ninth child, who is due in October, has a heart condition and "will need even more love, time, and attention due to complications."
Duffy, who was on the cast of MTV's "The Real World: Boston" in 1997, plans to resign on Sept. 23. Democratic Gov. Tony Evers will have to call a special election to fill the vacancy.
Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District is the state's largest, geographically, covering all or parts of 20 northern and northwestern counties.
Duffy's district has grown more conservative since he took office in 2011. In 2012, Republican Mitt Romney carried it with 51% of the vote, compared with 48% that went to then-President Barack Obama. In 2016, Trump won it by 57% to 37% over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Duffy has been widely mentioned as a possible candidate for U.S. Senate or governor in 2022.
In his resignation announcement, he said being away from his family for four days a week to serve in Congress is "challenging" and "I have always been open to signs from God when it comes to balancing my desire to serve both my family and my country."
"I have decided that this is the right time for me to take a break from public service in order to be the support my wife, baby and family need right now," Duffy said. "It is not an easy decision — because I truly love being your Congressman — but it is the right decision for my family, which is my first love and responsibility."
Duffy replaced 15-term Democratic Rep. Dave Obey, who announced his retirement 10 months after Duffy entered his first race for the seat. Duffy had been a district attorney for eight years before being elected to Congress.
Duffy met his future wife, Rachel Campos-Duffy, on the set of MTV's "Road Rules: All Stars" in 1998. Together, they have eight children and Duffy announced in May that she was pregnant with their ninth child.
State Sen. Tom Tiffany, a Republican who lives in Duffy's district, was one of the first to release a statement after the retirement was announced, thanking Duffy for his service and wishing him luck. Tiffany did not immediately return a message seeking comment on whether he plans to run for the seat.

A Delhi-bound Air India flight carrying 131 passengers was forced to return to the city airport today after suffering a bird-hit 20 minutes into its journey, the national carrier said today. All passengers are safe.
The flight AI 440 was airborne for nearly 20 minutes before it suffered the bird-hit, "forcing" it to return to the city airport, an Air India spokesperson said. "All passengers are safe and the aircraft is being inspected by Air India engineers to assess the damage caused due to the bird strike," he said.
The stranded passengers were later accommodated in the airline's subsequent flights as well as in those operated by private carriers, he added.

Alleged double registration: Gov. Yahaya Bello knows fate Jan. 20
taiye agbaje
The Federal High Court, Abuja, will, on Jan. 20, 2020, deliver judgment in the suit seeking Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi's disqualification over alleged double registration as a voter.
Justice Inyang Ekwo, who fixed the date after taking the arguments of all the parties in the matter, said there was the need to give it accelerated hearing.
Kogi Governor, Yahaya Bello, on Friday, told the Federal High Court, Abuja, that he was ready to defend himself in the allegation of double registration framed against him by Natasha Akpoti.
Also, Oyo NUJ suit: Court fixes Feb.19 for hearing.
Nigeria News Agency reports that Natasha Akpoti, Social Democratic Party (SDP)'s candidate in the Nov. 16 governorship election in Kogi, had filed the suit, seeking the court's determination on the eligibility of Bello in the last election, having allegedly involved in double registration as a voter.
While Akpoti is the plaintiff, the All Progressives Congress (APC), the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Governor Bello are 1st, 2nd and 3rd defendants respectively.
NAN recalls that the suit, dated Oct. 10 and marked: /1221/2019, was filed by Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, on Akpoti's behalf.

Bigby Parrott Passed to Silence and Pathetic Dust (Tombstone Tuesday)
A family burial lot that can't be missed (even if you tried) while wandering through Oak Hill Cemetery at Newnan, Georgia is that of the Parrott – Bigby family. The sacred ground is adorned with grand columns, several-feet-tall tombstones, and life-size angels.Bigby Parrott was a son of Charles C. and Callie D. Bigby Parrott. He died January 1917 due to pneumonia. Following is from the 19 January 1917 edition of the NewnanHerald (Georgia):A Tribute.
Bigby Parrott – a friend, a beloved husband, a cherished brother, a generous character and a good business man – passed to silence and pathetic dust as the golden sun kissed the morning dew at 6:15 o'clock Tuesday morning, Jan. 16, at his home in Atlanta.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Google this week made good on its plan to reposition Hangouts for the enterprise by splitting the almost four-year-old service into two separate apps. A video conferencing app, Hangouts Meet and team messaging app Hangouts Chat will serve as the enterprise equivalent to Google's Allo and Duo apps for consumers.
Meet, which aims to minimize meeting friction by simplifying the entry point for audio and video conferences, is widely available now. Hangouts Chat, which is competing more directly with Slack and Microsoft Teams, is currently in beta in Google's early adopter program.
Google has been working on positioning Hangouts for business since it announced plans for the service prior to the launch of Allo and Duo last summer. The company has followed a chaotic and confusing path to messaging for many years and the number of apps it operates in the market is growing. Google currently maintains at least nine different messaging apps, including Hangouts Meet and Hangouts Chat, Google Messenger, Google Chat, Google Voice, the Jibe rich communication services app for carriers, Allo, Duo and the Spaces group-sharing app.
Hangouts Chat allows you to create rooms for project-specific messaging. The app, which was rebuilt for teams, includes threaded conversations, a universal search and deep integration with G Suite apps like Drive and Docs, said Scott Johnston, director of product management, at Google's Cloud Next conference.
Google is also releasing a Hangouts Chat platform so third-party vendors can integrate their services into the app, automate team workflows and implement bots. Asana, Box, Prosperworks and Zendesk are some of the company's early partners for the platform. Google introduced a bot of its own called @meet, which uses natural language processing and machine learning to automatically schedule team meetings on Hangouts Meet and Google Calendar.
Hangouts Meet is Google's "enterprise solution for video meetings," Johnston said. "The focus is to get you in the meeting as quickly as possible, and get the technology out of the way." Reducing the time to start meetings is a frequent request from Google's customers, who sometimes spend up to 10 minutes getting a meeting ready, according to Johnston.
The rebuild of the Hangouts meeting experience operates on a reduced code size so meetings can start "instantly" without overtaxing processors or battery life, according to Google. Hangouts Meet supports a maximum of 30 participants, recording features and integration with Google's Chromebox for Meetings hardware.
Google also announced several updates to the G Suite of productivity apps. The company is releasing a developer preview of Gmail Add-Ons, which allows developers to integrate their services into Gmail, and a series of enterprise-focused updates to Google Drive. Team Drives, which was introduced in September, is now widely available. Google Drive, which now has 800 million monthly active users, is also gaining features like Drive File Stream, Quick Access and Google Vault for Drive, according to Google.
Google's G Suite currently has 3 million paying business customers and three of its apps are on more than a billion smartphones, according to Prabhakar Raghavan, vice president of apps at Google Cloud. Calling G Suite "an obsessive pursuit for over 10 years," Raghavan said Google has effectively outfitted its apps, that originated in the consumer space, for enterprises.

Procedural History "Richard Haase appeals from a decision of the Board of Patent Appeals and Interferences (now the Patent Trial and Appeal Board) that sustained the Examiner's final rejection of all claims . . . ." In re Haase at *1. "Before the application wound its way up to the Board, it spent nearly six years in front of the Examiner." Id. at *4.
Summary of the Claims "All but one of the independent claims now at issue covers a process that combines an ammonium polymer with an aluminum polymer. [I]ndependent claims 1 through 3 require, in addition to an aluminum polymer, an 'effective amount of at least one cationic ammonium polymer' that must include 'at least one cationic ammonium polymer having [molecular weights within a variety of ranges].' Independent claims 56 and 75 are similar, but the ranges are broader . . . . Independent claims 4 and 76 replace the 'ammonium polymer' language with 'at least one polyacrylamide' (described as one kind of ammonium polymer) . . . . Independent claim 22 stands apart from the other claims at issue here. Directed specifically to removing algae from water, it requires an ammonium polymer . . . but does not call for an aluminum polymer." In re Haase at *3.
Scope of the Claims "None of the claims at issue requires a particular amount of reduction [of water clarity]." Id. at *3.
Legal Standard: Anticipation of Ranges "When a claim recites a limitation that captures a range of values, it is anticipated if a specific example falling within that range is disclosed in the prior art. But if the prior art itself also discloses only a range of values, and the new claim recites an overlapping but different rand, we have said that the prior-art reference must describe the claimed range with sufficient specificity to anticipate the limitation of the claim—a broad prior-art disclosure that encompasses a narrower claimed range is sometimes not enough for anticipation." In re Haase at *5 (citations and internal quotation marks omitted).
Anticipation of Claims 1, 2, 56, and 75 "[T]he Board found that Hassick discloses a specific example of a raw-water-treatment process that reduces turbidity using an aluminum polymer . . . combined with a commercially available ammonium polymer . . . [that] would inherently include at least one ammonium polymer compound that has a molecular weight of about 1,000,000 . . . . The anticipation rejections of claims 1, 2, 56, and 75 follow directly from those findings. As construed, claims 1, 2, 56, and 75 require . . . just one ammonium polymer compound that falls within the claimed ranges . . . and just some reduction in turbidity." Id. at *6 (citations and internal quotation marks omitted).
Legal Standard: Obviousness of Ranges "If the relevant comparison between disputed claim limitations and the prior art pertains to a range of overlapping values, we and our predecessor court have consistently held that even a slight overlap in range establishes a prima facie case of obviousness." In re Haase at *8 (citations and internal quotation marks omitted). "But a prior-art reference that discloses alternatives does not, simply by preferring some alternatives, 'teach away' from the non-preferred alternatives . . . ." Id. at *9 (citations and internal quotation marks omitted).
Obviousness of Claim 3 over Hassick "Hassick not only discloses a preferred molecular weight range for the ammonium polymer . . .; it also discusses the use of different molecular weights in different rates—all with the aim of reducing turbidity in the system being treated. Those disclosures provide substantial evidence to support the finding [of obviousness]. We also find substantial evidence to support the Board's conclusion that Mr. Haase's rebuttal evidence seeking to overcome this prima facie case of obviousness was unpersuasive." Id. at *10 (citations and internal quotation marks omitted).
Obviousness of Claims 4 and 76 over Kigel in View of Simmsgeiger "[The Board] read Kigel to disclose a method for separating suspended particles in waster water using an aluminum polymer and a polyacrylamide in order to reduce turbidity. It read Simmsgeiger to teach the . . . molecular weight . . . range . . . . Those findings sufficed to make out a prima facie case of obviousness . . . ." Id. at *12 (citations and internal quotation marks omitted). "As to [Mr. Haase's] evidence purporting to show unexpected results, the Board found a critical flaw—that Mr. Haase did not demonstrate that his tests compared his claims with the Kigel-Simmsgeiger combination, rather than with Kigel alone." Id. at *12-13.
Obviousness of Claim 22 over Nier in View of Hassick "The Board read Nier to teach a process for removing algae using an algaecide [and] . . . aids includ[ing] ammonium polymers . . . usually [within the molecular weight range]." Id. at *14. "[T]he combination of Nier's teachings to improve water clarity by reducing algae, along with Hassick's teaching that higher weight ammonium polymers . . . increase effectiveness and reduce turbidity, would have led to the combination of their similar teachings." Id. at *14 (citations and internal quotation marks omitted).
For the foregoing reasons, we uphold the Board's rejection of independent claims 1-4, 22, 56, 75, and 76.
In re Haase at *15 (text added).

I had a Doctors appointment on Tuesday morning and a test he wanted done was scheduled for Monday morning. I arrived at the Doctors office on Monday, gave my name and started waiting. I waited and I waited and I waited. After about forty minutes of waiting, the receptionist tells me my appointment isn't until tomorrow.
"You have to go to the lab for that," she responded and gave me vague directions to the lab.
I rushed back to the fifth floor and remade the appointment for Friday. Back down to the lab I went. When I got there they inform that it's too late know and I have to make another appointment for the test for the next afternoon.
This test was a screening for the big C, cancer. The doctor has been caring for me for about ten months. He nonchalant about it. He reassured me that there was no evidence of cancer and my symptoms clearly pointed to something else. I tried to be calm about it but even the mere mention of the word can be frightening.
I managed to remain pretty calm as the days passed. Usually the hospital either calls or sends me an email with the results. Thursday ended with no news. Then I realized they are not telling me the results because it's bad and they wanted the doctor to tell me.
Friday the snow came. I love snow.
I love snow also. Too bad I live down south where we might get a dusting of the white stuff once a year – if we're lucky.
Liene, sadly we've had very little snow the last couple of winters. Hoping this year is different.


BOITARD, LOUIS PETER (fl. 1760), engraver and designer, was born in France, and was a pupil of La Farge. His father brought him to England. He made many engravings after Canaletto, Huet, Pannini, and others. One of his best known plates represents the Rotunda at Ranelagh, after Pannini. In 1747 he supplied forty-one large plates for Spence's 'Polymetis,' and he engraved the illustrations to Paltock's 'Peter Wilkins,' 1760, and the 'Scribleraid' of Richard Owen Cambridge, 1751. Besides these he executed many vignettes, minor designs, and portraits, among the last one of 'Elizabeth Canning;' and he is said to have been a humourist and a member of the Artists' Club. His wife was English; and he had a son of the same name and profession, who was perhaps the designer of the large satirical plate entitled 'The Present Age,' 1767, which is to be found in the British Museum print room. The date of his death is unknown, being stated by some authorities as 1758, by others as after 1700.

Frank Lister was born on 29 May 1889 in Gisborne, New Zealand. He was one of seven children of Albert and Elizabeth Mary Lister.
By 1914 Frank was working as a labourer at Whatatutu, a remote hill area 30 km north of Gisborne. Over the next year he also worked as a motor driver, reflecting the rising number of cars in use.
He enlisted on 14 February 1915 at Trentham into the 5th Reinforcement, service number 10/2209. After four months training at Trentham Camp he embarked on the troop ship Maunganui on 13 June 1915, arriving in Suez, Egypt, on 24 July 1915. The Gallipoli Campaign was underway and the 5th Reinforcement were quickly sent there to boost the New Zealand infantry battalions for the August Offensive. Frank joined the Wellington Battalion.
Frank was wounded during the fighting at Chunuk Bair at Gallipoli on 8 August and was evacuated to Mudros (Lemnos). He rejoined the 1st Battalion of the Wellington Regiment on 5 October 1915 back on Gallipoli for the final two months of the campaign before evacuation to Egypt.
He sailed with the newly-formed New Zealand Division to France in April 1916. He was accidently wounded on 18 June in France and spent two weeks recovering. He was struck down by mumps in February which took him to hospital for three weeks.
The Battle of Messines caused more problems for Frank. He received a gunshot wound to the head on 8 June 1917. He was evacuated to Brockenhurst (NZ) Military Hospital in Hampshire, England on 18 June and spent six weeks there before going to Hornchurch Convalescent Hospital. On 2 August he transferred to Codford Camp where New Zealand soldiers recovered from wounds usually went for retraining.
In October 1917 he was posted to the Employment Company before returning to 1st Wellington Battalion on 9 January 1918. As with many members of the Division Frank was detached to a tunneling group, spending a week with the 3rd Canadian Tunneling Company from 10 January.
On 26 January, 1st Wellington Battalion relieved the 1st Canterbury Battalion in the front line in the Judge sub-sector of Reutel sector, just west of Polygon Wood. Active patrolling was carried out although bright moonlight made this difficult.
Frank Lister was killed on 27 January, the only death of the battalion in this period of front line service. He was buried near the Polygon Butte. He was re-buried in Buttes New British Cemetery, Plot I, Row B, Grave 20.

Identification and Characterization of the 02sensitive Ion Channels in AMC
Last Updated on Sun, 06 May 2018 | Pulmonary Hypertension
Ligand-gated nicotinic ACh receptors mediate CA secretion from AMC in mature animals via splanchnic nerve stimulation. AMC also express several types ofvoltage-gated ion channels that are intimately involved in the regulation ofCA secretion, and that are candidates for the hypoxia-sensitive ion channels. In addition to K+ channels (see below), AMC express a TTX-sensitive Na+ channel and three types of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels: the dihydropyridine-sensitive L-type, the conotoxin-sensitive N-type, and agatoxin-sensitive P-type Ca2+channels (4). Interestingly ,theL-typechannel appears most efficiently coupled to depolarization-induced CA secretion in adult AMC (4), and the hypoxia-induced CA secretion from neonatal AMC could be blocked by the L-type channel blocker nifedipine (1, 20, 33).
Several voltage-dependent K+ channels are found in AMC, including delayed rectifier (Kv) and large conductance Ca2+-dependent (BK) K+ channels. Several of these classes of ion channels are known to be regulated by hypoxia in various cell types (18). For example, BK channels are thought to be a major component of the Oj-sensitive K+ (Ko2) current in carotid body glomus cells (23) and the delayed rectifier K+ channels, Kv1.5 and Kv2.1 are thought to mediate the hypoxia-sensitive outward currents in pulmonary myocytes (3). In order to identify the types of K+ currents that mediate the hypoxia-sensitive outward currents in AMC, we tested the ability of inhibitors of different classes of K+ channels to block the hypoxia-induced suppression of outward currents in neonatal AMC (31). The major component (-65%) of the K02 current (IK02) was blocked by removal of extracellular Ca2+ or by 50-100 nM iberiotoxin (IbTx), suggesting that BK channels are a major contributor. Thus the remaining -35 % of IK02 was attributable mainly to delayed rectifier Kv channels which are sensitiveto20mMtetraethylammonium(TEA)(31). Additionally, AMCexpress a pinacidil-activated and glibenclamide-sensitive, ATP-sensitive K+ current (Katp) that is augmented by hypoxia (31). This current is reminiscent ofthe one carried by 02-sensitive channels in neurons of the substantia nigra, which are thoughtto limit membrane depolarization during hypoxia (13).
What is the molecular identity of the 02-sensitive Kv channels in AMC? Recent work from our laboratory raises the possibility that these channels are Kv 1.2/KV1.5 heteromultimers, though this requires validation. Both Kv1.2 and Kv1.5 subunits appear to be expressed in neonatal AMC based on immunocytochemistry, and the heteromultimer likely comprises one of the 02-sensitive K+ channels expressed by the immortalized chromaffin cell line, i.e., v-myc, adrenal-derived HNK1+(MAH) cells, which are derived from embryonic AMC (8). These Kv channel subunits are also potential molecular components of the 02-sensitive outward current in pulmonary myocytes (3, 29) and PC 12 cells (Kv1.2 only) (6). The molecular characterization ofthe 02-sensitive K+
channels in neonatal AMC need to be confirmed using expression systems and mutagenesis of the candidate proteins.
It should be noted that none of the 02-sensitive channels described above were responsible for generation of the receptor potential in neonatal AMC, although Katp channels could modulate its magnitude. The hypoxia-induced membrane depolarization persisted in the presence IbTx, Cd2+, TEA, and 4-aminopyridine (31). Though the resting membrane potential of AMC hyperpolarized in a Na+- and Ca2+-free solution, the receptor potential remained constant. This argues against a role for cation selective channels in generating the receptor potential in rat AMC, as has been suggested for adult guinea pig cells (12). Interestingly, glibenclamide augmented the magnitude of the receptor potential in our studies, suggesting that KATP channels may play a similar protective role to limit the extent of membrane depolarization during hypoxia in AMC as in central neurons. Consistent with this notion, cromakalim, an activator of Katp channels, reversed the hypoxia-induced stimulation of CA secretion in adult AMC maintained in long-term culture (20). There is recent evidence that the receptor potential may be mediated by small-conductance Ca2+-dependent K+ channels (SK) because apamin, an inhibitor of SK channels, can depolarize AMC and block the receptor potential (14, 16, 22).
Figure 3. The mitochondrial electron transport chain complex I inhibitor, rotenorie, mimics and attenuates the effects of hypoxia on neonatal adrenomedullary chromaffin cells. A: Nystatin perforated patch clamp recordings (step to +30 mV from -60 mV) from a neonatal AMC exposed to control (C), hypoxia (H), 10 |iM rotenone (Rot), hypoxia+rotenone (Rot+H), and washout (W). Both: hypoxia and rotenone inhibited outward currents and the combined effects of rotenone and hypoxia did not exceed the suppression seen by rotenone alone. B: Current-voltage plots for the cell currents shown in A. C: Current-clamp recording from a single AMC in a small cluster of -10 cells. Both spontaneous action potential generation and a receptor potential of ~ 12 mV are visible. All current-clamp recordings from the same cell are 500 ms in duration and illustrate that 10 nM rotenone depolarizes the cell and blocks the hypoxia-induced receptor potential.
The hypoxic inhibition of voltage-dependent K+ channels suggests that hypoxia may induce CA secretion via modulation of the action potential waveform. We recorded membrane potential in neonatal rat and mouse AMC from singly-isolated and small clusters of cells. Interestingly, single isolated cells were often quiescent and fired action potentials superimposed on the receptor potential (Fig. 2C) (33), whereas those in small clusters (>8 cells) frequently fired spontaneous rhythmic action potentials at ~ 1 Hz (Fig. 3C) (32). Exposure to hypoxia did not significantly modulate the frequency of action potentials in clustered AMC, but caused a reversible broadening ofthe spike duration that was primarily associated with a prolongation of the decay phase, as would be expected if K+ channels were inhibited (Fig. 3C) (32). However, we also observed a slight increase in the rise time of the action potential that could arise from inhibition of a conductance that is active at the resting membrane potential. Candidates for these channels include non-selective cation conductances (12) and SK channels (14, 16, 22).

Most health-related organizations, such as the American Heart Association, American College of Sports Medicine and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommend aerobic exercise for promoting metabolic health and weight control. Increasing evidence shows that weight training is an essential part of an exercise program. Weight training builds strength, but it also improves metabolic health and promotes fat loss.
East Carolina University researchers, led by Robert Hickner, showed that a weight-training workout cause marked increases in energy expenditure and fat use in lean and obese subjects. Weight training was particularly effective for mobilizing fat in the abdominal region. However, abdominal fat mobilization was greater in lean than obese people. Weight training increases energy expenditure and fat loss in lean and obese people, but a variety of approaches is best for promoting weight control.
