Abstract: The purse having a rear panel including an upper edge and the body having a front panel, a region proximal to the upper edge of the rear panel including a longitudinal element formed internal to the upper edge of the rear panel, the element having an inner side wall and an outer sidewall; a linear plurality of fasteners secured upon the inner wall of the pocket proximal to the upper edge of the rear panel.

Abstract: A modular wood flooring system comprising a plurality of multi-layer flooring sections, provided in pre-measured sectional units and adapted for rapid installation is disclosed. Each flooring section includes a resilient bottom layer, an intermediate sub-floor layer, and a top wood flooring layer. The ends of adjoining sections are staggered to avoid the appearance of a straight line seam. Each flooring section further includes a top edge portion adapted with a recessed latching mechanism to allow the sections to be mechanically connected. A first flooring section is adapted with a male latch member and a second flooring section is adapted with a female latch receiving member for receiving the male latch member of an adjoining first flooring section.

Abstract: A novel mutant strain of Morel mushroom has been found to produce the blue pigment indigo by submerged nutrient culture medium containing a carbon and a fermentation in a nitrogen substrate. A red/purple pigment is also produced. The novel strain is Morchella rotunda nov. ES-1 sp. ATCC 20951.
