1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates in general to radio intelligence transmission and receiving systems for very short electrical magnetic waves, wherein a transmitter is provided in which intelligence to be transmitted is modulated onto a carrier and then radiated from a transmitting antenna to a receiving antenna which is connected to a receiver that converts the incoming intelligence into an intermediate frequency band and then demodulates it.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Radio frequency transmitting and receiving systems are well known, but the present invention relates to a novel transmitting and receiving system.
The present invention provides a solution for the transmission of intelligence in a radio transmitting system, wherein there are many transmitters and receivers operating in the same frequency range, and wherein the system of the invention eliminates interference between such systems and provides very little interference to other systems, and which provides transmitters and receivers which are relatively inexpensive.
In the invention, the transmitted signal is modulated onto a carrier at the transmitter and the carrier is varied in frequency in a time repetitive manner over a predetermined frequency range, and the receiver includes a converter which provides a constant intermediate frequency which contains the modulation. In the receiver a converter is provided which directly receives the incoming signal and also receives the incoming signal through a delay line. The converter provides the intermediate frequency signal, which signal is then filtered, amplified and demodulated to provide the output intelligence.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent from the following description of certain preferred embodiments thereof taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, although variations and modifications may be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the disclosure, and in which:

FIG. 15 illustrates a further embodiment of a receiver according to the invention.
FIG. 1 illustrates the radio transmitting and receiving system according to the invention in a simplified form, wherein the transmitter S is connected to a radiating antenna AS. A radio link is provided between the transmitter and the receiver which has a receiving antenna AE which is connected to the receiver E.
The transmitter S includes a transmitting oscillator SO which provides an output to a transmitting amplifier SV which is connected to the antenna AS. The amplifier SV may be a wide band amplifier such as, for example, a travelling wave tube. The transmitting oscillator SO is varied in frequency by a wobbulating device W, and is modulated by a modulation unit M which might provide AM, ASK, FM or FSK modulation. A timing central clock generator TZ provides inputs to the wobbulating device W and the modulator M. THe modulator receives input intelligence at its input terminal as shown.
At the receiver the incoming signal from the antenna AE is supplied to a receiving filter FE which supplies an output to a wide band linear low noise regulated amplifier EV, which amplifies the received signal to a level of, for example, 10 mW. The amplifier EV supplies an output to a filter FX which supplies an input to a separating branch H. A portion of the signal at this point is supplied to an attenuator π and another portion of the signal is supplied to a delay line V which has a delay of τ. A receiving converter EM receives the output of the attenuator π and the delay line V. The delay line V has a constant group transit time delay of τ. The delay line V can, for example, comprise a long cable with as high as possible εr or may comprise a plurality of lines of concentrated elements. It is to be realized that at the input of the converter EM there exists a time delay between the signals between the two paths of τ. Due to the time linear wobbulation of the signal being received at the receiving converter EM, a constant intermediate frequency will occur of: ##EQU1##
The stability and precision of the intermediate frequency fZF is determined by the stability of the wobbulating frequency K (MHz/sec) and the transit time τ which is independent of frequency. In discontinuous points of the transmitted frequency, the intermediate frequency will be blanked for the time of tx or τ as illustrated in FIGS. 2 or 3.
The intermediate frequency fZF existing in the receiver occurs because of the collective effect of the delay line V and does not require that the receiver have a carrier injection oscillator and the intermediate frequency is filtered by the filter F and passed to the amplifier which follows ZFV. When the transmitted signal at the transmitter is modulated, the signal from amplifier ZFV will be demodulated by the demodulator DE which is connected to the output of the amplifier ZFV and if, for example, the transmitted intelligence is in digital form, it will be regenerated by the regenerator RE which is connected to the output of the demodulator DE. Connected between the intermediate frequency amplifier ZFV and the input filter FE is a wobbulating and synchronizing unit S which can control the pass band of the filter FE synchronously with the received RF frequency over the wobble range of the transmitter oscillator SO.
FIGS. 2, 3 and 4 illustrate different forms of the modulation and wobbulation wherein the transmitted frequencies are shown without modulation. To the extent that it is possible that transmitting frequency is linearly wobbled relative to time over a period of T between the frequencies fu and fo . The difference in these frequencies fo -fu can amount to several GHz. The points of this continuity in the wobble curves as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 represent brief times when the transmitting oscillator is blanked or turned off. For example, in FIG. 2, the transmitter does not radiate for a very short time of tx. In FIG. 3, the transmitter oscillator does not radiate during the time τ as illustrated. In FIG. 4, the frequency of the transmitter is produced by two different oscillators which overlap for a period of τ as shown. Thus, in the example of FIG. 4, the second oscillator is connected to the antenna before the first oscillator has reached its upper frequency of fo.
For the determination of the intermediate frequency, the parameters transit time τ, wobble speed K and wobble time T as well as the upper and lower frequency fo and fu are determinative. In a particular case of selecting these parameters, it should be realized that the interference with other systems in the same frequency range becomes less for the shorter duration that the transmitting frequency remains in the distorted band and the longer the wobble time T. Thus, the wobble band width (fo -fu) compared to the distorted base band measuring channels of the distorted system as, for example, a carrier frequency channel of 3.1 kHz will be selected to be as large as possible and K will be selected to be as high as possible. In principle, the wobble speed K can be selected to be so high that other systems located in the same band will no longer be distorted.
The short delay cables which are necessary for short transit times τ are commercially available or can be constructed in a simple manner. The intermediate frequency to be selected is chosen to be sufficiently high relative to the information quantity to be transmitted and is determined by the selection of K and τ.
In FIG. 2, for example, the transmitted frequency sweeps from a frequency of fu linearly up to the frequency fo and then drops for a short period of tx to zero and is then started again at fu and so forth.
In FIG. 3, the frequency is wobbulated upwardly and then after a short off time is wobbulated downwardly in the frequency and so forth. FIG. 4 illustrates two oscillators which are wobbulated from the low frequency of fu up to higher frequency fo and the two oscillators overlap as shown.
FIG. 5 is a plot of modulation such as illustrated in FIG. 2 wherein intelligence is modulated on to the carrier using a two stage FSK modulation. FM and AM modulation can also be utilized with suitable FM and AM modulation equipment. The FSK information is modulated on the curve of FIG. 2 and FIG. 5.
When modulation of the signal illustrated in FIG. 3 occur, since the wobbulating frequency first goes up and then comes down the sign of the wobble speed changes and also the direction of modulation is reversed between adjacent periods T.
As shown in FIG. 5, the wobble period T is selected to be four times the delay time τ. In the case of a whole number ratio of these values, it is advantageous to use a set clock pulse ratio. For the same reason, it is desirable if the bit-clock pulse time tB has a whole number ratio to the wobble period T and to the transmit time τ. For example, if τ=3�tB =T/4. Then, during the time when there is no intermediate frequency at the beginning of each wobble period, regeneration of the values T and tB can occur.
It is to be realized that in the invention many different kinds of modulations and regeneration for radio transmission systems can be utilized and the following or specific examples but are not exhaustive of the various possibilities of the invention.
In varying the transmitted frequency at a wobble speed to K, the wobble period T comprises the clock pulse time of the modulation. K or wobble speed can be varied for each individual wobble period corresponding to the condition of the stage and the bit content of the FSK modulation. In the receiver, the intermediate frequency pulses arise with the clock pulse T and the FSK modulation content of the signal being transmitted.
In the example when the modulation corresponds to that illustrated in FIG. 5 shown in the first of the periods T, five separate bits are transmitted. In the modulated signal, each information bit follows a "empty bit." At the intermediate frequency demodulator at the receiver, then the signal content illustrated in FIG. 6 occurs. This signal is distorted by the transit time τ in the receiver; nevertheless, in a simple manner, this signal can be equalized. This is indicated by the arrows which extend from FIG. 6 to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 illustrates the undistorted information. At the end of the wobble process during a time span which is indicated as shaded and designated oj (without content) no information will be transmitted.
Referring again to FIG. 5 during the second wobble period following the first one, portions of the period designated as τ alternate periodically, within each case three information bits, and those without information content. This allows the control for the signal regeneration to be simplified.
The bit flow rate in the transmitter can be distorted such that in the receiver after the transit time distortion by means of the delay line V and after the demodulation in the demodulator DE, the correct information automatically occurs.
FIG. 8 is a block diagram of a modified form of the invention, which utilizes two delay lines in the receiver. By using more than one delay line in the receiver E, interference with respect to intentional outside interferrers and the security against interception of the transmitted data is improved. In the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 8 where like elements shown in FIG. 1 are designated by similar designations, a pair of oscillators 01 and 02 are connected to a transmitting converter SU, and their outputs superimposed. The converter SU may be a wide band single side band converter. The output of the converter SU is supplied to a transmitter filter FS which applies an output to the transmitting amplifier SV, which is connected to the antenna AS. The filter FS and amplifier SV filter and amplify the transmitted signal fS. Both of the oscillators 01 and 02 are wobbulated by wobbulating in its W1 and W2 respectively, and both of these units receive clock pulses from the clock pulse generator TZ. A modulator M receives incoming intelligence and modulates the modulator 02 and also receives an input from the clock pulse generator TZ. The modulation supplied to the modulator M might be FSK modulation. The timing clock generator TZ controls the bit duration tB, the baud rate, and the wobble times T1, T2, and these are controlled in a whole number ratio. For the curve illustrated in FIG. 10, the following values result:
T1 =2τ1
T2 =3τ2
From this, there follows
tB =(τ2/2) for T2 =2ntB =6tB and
T1 =2mT2 =4T2.
Thus, the modulation can be any of the previously described methods.
In the receiver for the transmitter illustrated in FIG. 8, the wide band amplifier EV supplies inputs to a first attenuator π1 and to a first delay line V1 and the output of these two units is supplied through a first receiver converter EM1. A first intermediate frequency amplifer ZV1 connected to the output of the converter EM1 and a first filter F1 connected to the output of the amplifier ZV1. A second parallel circuit comprising a second attenuator π2 and a second delay line V2 receive the output of the filter F1, and the outputs of these units are supplied to the input of a second receiver converter EM2. A second filter F2 receives the output of converter EM2 and a second IF amplifier ZV2 receives the output of the filter F2 and supplies an output through a demodulator DE which in turn supplies an output to a regenerator RE. In the receiver, after the first receiving converter EM1, an intermediate frequency is filtered out by the first filter F1, which is ##EQU2## This intermediate frequency is wobbulated in a time linear fashion at a wobble speed of K2=Δf/T2. In the second receiver converter EM2, the constant intermediate frequency which carries the FSK modulation exists. This frequency is f2 =K2 �τ2. The output of the second IF filter ZV2 will be free of interference external to the band as well as noise external to the band. The use of the double filters F1 and F2 increases the security against interference by interferring signals from other transmitters which have similar wobble speeds. It is also possible to use different wobble speeds of K2, K3 . . . Kn, which change in a programmed manner. In this event in the receiver different transit time arrangements corresponding to the program would be connected in and out of the circuit.
FIG. 9 is a block diagram illustrating the transmitter S of a transmitting system which has two transmitting oscillator 01 and 02. These oscillators both receive inputs from the modulator M and supply outputs to an adder SM which is connected to the transmitting amplifier SV. The oscillators 01 and 02 are alternately switched on and off by clock pulses from a clock TZ which controls a wobble unit W which is connected to the oscillators. The oscillators are switched on and off alternately corresponding to the curve illustrated in FIG. 4, wherein overlap of the output of the oscillators curves are shown. Both of the oscillators receive the output of the modulator M.
FIG. 11 is a plot illustrating a modulated transmitter signal wherein the carrier frequencies change in frequency jumps in a programmed manner. A method wherein the transmitting frequency is programmed as shown in FIG. 11 can be used when collection and dispersion effect occur, and the increased protection against interference of external systems and their susceptibility to interference from other systems can be dispensed. The carrier in the example illustrated in FIG. 11 remains constant over periods T which correspond to the length of the transit time line in the receiver. The carrier frequency changes and jumps by the frequency amount of fZF, which corresponds to the intermediate frequency existing in the receiver. The modulation might, for example, be of the type illustrated in FIG. 5, wherein during partial periods several information bits and signal without information content periodically alternate with one another. After two continuous consecutive modulation periods τ, the carrier frequency can jump by random amounts which, for example, can be related to the interference which exists in the band.
Also, it should be realized that a combination of the different carrier frequency transmitting curves illustrated in FIGS. 2 through 4 and 10 and 11, can be utilized. Such an example is illustrated in FIG. 12, which does not show the information modulation content, but merely shows the changes in the carrier frequency. The carrier frequency changes from period to period and jumps, and increases linearly within a single period.
So as to increase the security against interference, the wobble speed can be reversed, or the frequency can be jumped fZF in a programmed manner, and at the receiver, the transit times τ and/or the intermediate frequencies can be switched according to the same program used at the transmitter.
When strong interference occurs, it is possible to avoid over-modulation of the receiver amplifier EV in a system, for example, where a 30 dB interferring signal and obtain the useful signal and to avoid reduction of the receiver sensitivity, and in the case of a synchronized receiver, a relatively wide band easily and quickly controllable receiving filter FE can be buried in a programmed manner. The products of the frequencies mixing from the interferring and useful signal (the interferring signal has the same wobble speed as the useful signal) can be eliminated with a wide band filter FX connected after the non-linear receiving amplifier EV.
In systems which customarily transmit several RF radio frequency channels, the available band width is subdivided into RF channels, and in each case a transmitter and a receiver are operated which have relatively high cost due to the selection, carrier supplies and intermediate frequency equipments necessary. The present invention allows the possibility for the common use of modules in all of the transmitters and all of the receivers, and thus, the cost becomes relatively cheap. In the case of the transmission system according to the invention, it is possible to provide for parallel circuiting with greatly reduced filter microwave and intermediate frequency amplifier costs, and also the cost is reduced for FSK modulation with regeneration.
FIG. 13 is an example illustrating the parallel circuit for two transmitting channels. A pair of oscillators 01 and 02 are respectively wobbulated by wobble generators W1 and W2 and are modulated by two modulators M1 and M2 which receive different intelligence. The modulation and wobbulation is controlled by a common master clock pulse generator TZ. The output of the oscillators 01 and 02 are added in an adder S and then the two FSK modulated signals are supplied to a transmitter amplifier SV which is also non-linear and supplied through a high pass filter H to the transmitting antenna AS.
FIGS. 14 and 15 illustrate two separate receivers that can be used with the transmitter of FIG. 13. In FIG. 14, the receiving antenna AE supplies an input to a high low pass filter HT which supplies an input to a receiving amplifier EV. The output of the amplifier EV is supplied to the parallel attenuators π, and the delay τ. The output of these units is connected to the input of a receiving converter EM1 which supplies an output to an IF amplifier ZFHV, wherein common amplification of the two intermediate frequencies f1 and f2 occurs. A pair of separating filters separates the two channels at the output of the amplifier ZFHV, and the first filter F1 separates one of the intermediate frequencies F1 and supplies an output to a demodulator and regenerator DERE1. A second filter F2 separates the second intermediate frequency f2 and supplies an output to a demodulator and regenerator DERE2. For both of the channels, a common timing clock pulse generator TC is provided which receives input from the IF amplifier ZFHV and supplies inputs to the demodulator regenerators DERE1 and DERE2.
A modification of the receiver for use with the transmitter 13 is illustrated in FIG. 15, wherein the output of the receiver amplifier EV separates the two channels and supplies a first output to a first attenuator π1 and a first delay τ1 in the delay B1 and a receiver converter EM1 is connected to these units and supplies an output to a first filter ZF1, which supplies an input to the demodulator regulator DERE1, which produces the information from the first channel. A second attenuator π2 and second delay V2 also receive outputs from the receiver amplifier EV and supply inputs to a receiver converter EM2, which supplies an output to the filter ZF2 which in turn supplies an output to the demodulator regenerator DERE2 which demodulates the second channel and supplies the output to an output terminal. The delay in its V1 and V2 can be selected so that only constant intermediate frequency occurs in both branches, and thus, neither carrier supplies nor microwave receiving filters of the customary type are required for transmitting intelligence.
The transmitting methods according to the invention are suited for multiplicity of applications, for example, for transmission systems for mobile equipment which are distortable only with difficulty and can be located by third parties only with relative difficulty. The invention can be used also for transmission devices which can be constructed in parallel lines, or especially since the wobble testing locations having their own intermediate frequency forms which depend upon the wobble speed and the delay time. In the testing receiver of the testing location in other testing and receiving devices, a generation of a receiver carrier frequency is not required.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many modifications and variations may be effected without departing from the spirit and scope of the novel concepts of the present invention.

Active within 1 week
My perfect match is someone who could be or could not be like me. I'm a guy who will try anything, if i don't like it, then I won't do it again. If i do like, well...figure it out. I'm a pretty motivated guy, my career is important, I want that security knowing that I'm on the right path. Also, I'm looking for someone who I know will enjoy being with me as much as I enjoy being with them. I like someone who can take some time out to figure someone rather than just jump into it. Make me laugh, you can do that, I'll want to talk to you more and more. Honesty, I mean who wouldn't? I can take pretty much any joke but I can also shell out a lot too, so I guess I need someone who can take a joke. Just be nice...that's about it, then I won't have any reservations with this.

Nothing in particular. Like I said, i'm not really picky, so whatever is going on or whoever is going there, I'll be sure to get there some how, some way. My favorite spot is pretty much downtown Chicago.
This is too broad for me, so I'll just throw as much at you as possible. First, favorite band..Pearl Jam-favorite tv show Curb Your Enthusiasm. My favorite food is probably pizza (childish can't help it) and baseball, i did it in college, so yea.
I am an easy going guy, I'm down for dinner, movies, going out, etc. I'm a big concert goer. I'm flexible with any plan, not really picky, enjoy new ideas as well. Whatever is proposed, I'm usually game with.
I've been reading a lot of the Wall Street Journal for work purposes and then after that my favorite book that i haven't finished but I swear I will one day is People's History of the United States.

What is Pickleball?
What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is a sport described as "a combination of table tennis, tennis, and badminton", played in schools, parks and recreation centers, camps, and retirement communities.
Pickleball is FUN. It is also a great work out, very social and a competitive and athletic game.
It's typically played on a badminton court with a net that is lowered to 34 inches in the middle. Players uses a baseball sized whiffle ball and a paddle, similar to a large table tennis paddle, to volley the ball back and forth to score on the opposing team.
People of all ages and athletic abilites enjoy playing pickleball.
Pickleball is easy to learn. After a few minutes of instruction a beginner can enjoy a game with a more experienced player. Try it one day and youll be back the next day to play again!
Pickleball is a fantastic way to exercise and spend time with friends and family. Grandparents can enjoy a competitive game with grandchildren.
Pickleball is beyond a hobby - it's addictive.
Listen to,
Wild About Pickleball
on National Public Radio
The History of Pickleball
Pickleball was created during the summer of 1965 on Bainbridge Island - a short ferry ride from Seattle, WA. The original purpose of the game was to provide a sport for the entire family, according to co-inventors U.S. Congressman Joel Pritchard, William Bell, and Barney McCallum.
Pickles was the family dog that would chase after the errant balls and then hide in the bushes, thus Pickle's ball which was later shortened to the namesake of Pickleball. Initially, families played Pickleball in their backyards on a hard surface, on driveways, and on residential dead-end streets. Since the mid-1970's, Pickleball has grown and expanded from a family activity game to a paddle court sport with formalized rules. Now, over 20 years later, Pickleball is played in thousands of school P.E. programs, parks and recreation centers, correctional facilities, camps, YMCAs and retirement communities. This sport is becoming very popular among active senior adults at community centers and is growing in popularity on high school and college campuses.
Find Additional information at - USA Pickleball Association.
The Pickleball Ball
A pickleball is similar to a wiffle ball but it is more durable. Common whiffle balls will split apart during a game of pickleball.
There is no rules governing what type of pickleball is played indoors or outdoors or the color of the ball. In our experience most people prefer playing outside with the small holed, hard plastic Dura or Onix ball and so we've come to calling these balls "outdoor" balls.
Similarly, most people prefer playing indoors with the large holed Jugs or Big Hole Dura Ball, so we've come to calling these balls "indoor balls".
Ball choice is a matter of preference. Pickleball communities develop a preference for a particular brand and color of ball. Be warned. People feel strongly about their balls. Make sure and check what ball your community uses so you don't show up with the "wrong ball".
To learn more than you ever wanted to know about pickleball balls read our Ball Selection Guide.
The Paddle
The paddle is similar to a ping pong paddle in that it is solid and easily maneuverable with a turn of the wrist. When game was invented, wooden paddles were used and are still used at many institutions due to lower cost. The best quality paddles are made of lightweight fiberglass due to their lower weight and higher durability. Our champion fiberglass paddles come in a variety of bright colors.
Our most popular item is the Champion Bundle. Two of our best paddles with 6 of our best balls.
The Court
The game itself is played on a court that is the same size as a badminton court (20 feet wide by 44 feet long). The net is set at 36 inches high on the edges and 34 inches in the middle.
Pickleball's small court allows younger players or those with varying degrees of mobility to participate in a way that the larger court of tennis sometimes prohibits. Additionally, a rule prohibiting volleying (hitting the ball in the air) in the non-volley zone (the space 7 feet from the net) helps to equalize play and reduce overpowering smashes at the net.
Pickleball has become a common high school sport in gym classes and has gained popularity with teenagers as well as seniors. Schools often host tournaments. In New York State alone, it is estimated that over 500 schools include Pickleball in their curricula.
Getting Started
We offer several type of complete pickleball sets. The prices vary depending on the type of paddles included in the set. Wood paddles are the least expensive. Graphite are the most expensive.

Mario and Zelda games in the pipeline
More Mario and Zelda games are in the pipeline, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata revealed on Tuesday.
Iwata said the development teams were "hard at work" on new titles for both franchises. He also went on to say that they were being developed for Wii, but stopped short of giving out any titles or expected dates for release.
Also revealed was the fact that the DS Zelda team is also back to work on a new title, but once more we were left on a cliffhanger with no more information to go on than that.
When we get more - we'll get it to you sharpish.

Breeders can apply for a virtual scorebook for puppies with SchH titles if the pedigree shows any dogs with SchH titles in the past 5 or 6 generations. That will help with advertising the litters. There are also many virtual Police K-9's, we will need to get them an "official virtual" certification as well.

From bulldozer to golf carts, auction disposes of city's surplus in less than 40 minutes
EVANSVILLE - With the Wolfe's Auto Auction's weekly vehicle auction going on simultaneously nearby, more than 100 people surrounded auctioneer Jim Ducker as he rattled off bids for former city of Evansville equipment at the facility Thursday morning.
In all, it took Ducker less than 40 minutes to sell the 32 items that the city had turned over to the company for the surplus auction. Among the things sold Wednesday were eight golf carts, a backhoe and a bulldozer.
The backhoe brought $2,000, while the bulldozer fetched $3,100. In all, the 32 items collectively sold for more than $24,000.
Evansville resident Reggie Eastwood, 46, said he was hoping to take home at least some of the heavy-duty equipment, but bidding for those items quickly climbed out of his price range. But Eastwood did not go home empty-handed. He paid $500 for a 1992 Chevrolet Suburban. He said he wasn't exactly sure what he was going to do with the vehicle because, like all of the other 31 items sold during the auction, the Suburban was sold "as-is" and not guaranteed to function properly.
Bidders had to preregister for the event, which was announced by city officials last week. All of the items sold were no longer used by the city and would not be economical to try to fix and maintain, according to Dennis Hudnall, superintendent of the city's street maintenance department.
Eastwood said enjoys going to auctions in general to see if he can find a good deal.
"I like the thrill of the haggle. I don't know," he said, "there's always the potential to make money."
And, at least for now, the Suburban seems like it could be a good investment. With the help of a jump, Eastwood got the vehicle to start. He believes the it has a dead battery that will need to be replaced but is optimistic about the Suburban's prospects.
"That's what I like to hear," Eastwood said as he exited the vehicle after starting it for the first time.

This press release is available in Spanish.
In a study published in the Mycologia journal, researchers from the Basque Country, in collaboration with the Spanish Royal Botanic Garden and the Forestry Institute of Slovenia, have described two new species of Hydnum colloquially known as Wood Hedgehog or Hedgehog mushroom. Mushrooms of the Hydnum genus are well known because many of them are edible.
"In the work we describe two new species: Hydnum ovoideisporum and Hydnum vesterholtii, which belong to a genus colloquially called 'Hedgehog mushrooms'. Although many of the mushrooms of this genus are eaten in various parts of the world, paradoxically there are very few serious and recent works clarifying exactly how many species there are and how they are different", explained Mr Ibai Olariaga Ibarguren, lead researcher of the study at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) to the Spanish-based SINC (The Scientific Information and News Service).
According to experts, the work of differentiation of this genus is highly complicated as the species look very similar to each other and have quite similar microscopic features. "This is one of the reasons why many authors believed there were only a few species of Hydnum with different variables", the Basque scientist pointed out.
Nevertheless, the few molecular studies undertaken on these fungi point to very high genetic diversity. Mr Olariaga had been studying this genus on the Iberian Peninsula for years until discovering that there were two species that could be distinguished from the rest because they had ovoid spores most species have rounded ones , and that they also had a particular ecology.
"The molecular study we undertook in this research confirmed that the species I detected, using classical taxonomy based on morphology, corresponded to two

Massive runaway star found in a supernova remnant
points to a supernova 30,000 years ago
Dincel, Neuhäuser et al. 2015 MNRAS
|This H-alpha image (obtained at the 90-cm telescope of the University Observatory Jena) shows the supernova remnant S147. Both the massive early B-type star HD 37424 (yellow circle) and the neutron star pulsar PSR J0538+2817 (green cross) move away from the geometric center (cyan cross). Given their velocity vectors (yellow), they were both at the geometric center some 30,000 years ago (distance 1.3 kpc). This pair is the first such case found. This points to a supernova in a binary star at that time forming both the pulsar and the runaway star - the latter was the previous companion of the supernova progenitor. The supernova should have been very bright.

... Resort - and our only complaint was that the alcohol was very expensive there. A Corona (which we never buy) cost over $12 once tax was added! Beers were an absolute must here. Temperatures were in the low 90s with humidity at about 94%! The resort is built in a "long house" style and is set on the edge of an ancient rainforest. The rooms are large and paneled in wood and are quite comfortable.

... and the passengers look pretty ethnic, with a lot of young children, so we have no great expectations of a good flight. The fact that the toilets are full of paper and blocked in the first half hour is a bad indicator, but the main problem comes from the elderly Anglo couple behind us, who keep the light on, talk and crackle wrapping paper incessantly. For a short flight, it seems like a horror trip, and we are not feeling all that flash by the time we get through ...

Greenbrook Elementary kids get visit from MSU program, which teaches about body
The daily enrollment at Greenbrook Elementary grew by at least one Monday.
The Southaven school welcomed Little Organ Annie, and the first place she visited was the physical education building.
Her arrival was furnished by the Mississippi State University Extension Service, which also brought Body Walk to the kids.
Body Walk is a 40-foot by 40-foot enclosed walk-through exhibit representing the human body.
"The children visit each tent and hear about that part of their body and how to keep it healthy," program assistant Katie Bouchillon said. "They need to make sure they're exercising and eating right to make sure that part of their body works right."
The program also had additional benefits, including Little Organ Annie.
"They've donated a big section of resources that we can keep in our library," Greenbrook P.E. instructor Shelly McLaughlin said. "That way, our teachers can check those out and show the kids little cartoon videos about the body."
For about an hour, groups went from station to station learning about the brain, mouth, stomach, small intestine, heart, lungs, bones, muscles and skin. There was also the Pathway For Life station.
"The kids really like the mouth," said Bouchillon, "because they get to sit on the teeth and they get to brush the teeth with a giant toothbrush. There's a Mr. Gross Mouth, which shows what happens if you don't take care of your teeth. The teeth are all rotted and even the tongue has a cancer on the bottom -- it's nasty."
Each student was awarded a sticker and a take-home book upon completion. McLaughlin, though, drove home the importance of being healthy everyday.
"We have the nutrition components and the anatomy components," she said. "I try to teach them about how their bodies work and how to keep them healthy.
"And they do. They'll come in and they brag to me, 'Ms. Shelly, I love to eat grapes,' so they're remembering that Ms. Shelly is telling us how to be healthy."
According to MSU Extension Service representatives, the last time Body Walk was in DeSoto County was last December. Oak Grove Central Elementary in Hernando was the lucky recipient. It has been confirmed, however, that it will return in January.
"We travel the whole state of Mississippi," said Bouchillon, "and to be able to have Body Walk, you have to schedule it through your local extension service. Not every county in Mississippi has extension, so that's one limiting factor. The second limiting factor is that there's one exhibit and there's hundreds of schools, so we just try to go to as many as we can throughout the year.
"We try to see as many children as we can."

Michelle looked around a a little, and seeing as no one else was saying anything, she decided to. "Um... I'd like to learn about Scolipede..." She quietly said to the teacher.
"Do you know anything about scolipede's?"
Michelle thought about it for a moment. "Well, pretty much only the basics, I guess..."
Tanaka chuckled at his student. "Scolipede are aggressive, and relentless. They are fast despite being large..." Tanaka continued teaching the class about scolipede. As he taught he would do movements to make the class laugh and remain interested.
Michelle was paying close attention to everything Mr. Tanaka was telling them. She was more interested in this class than any of the other ones before it.
"He's amazing," Jackie said.
Michelle looked over at Jackie. "Yeah, he is. He seems to know everything he's talking about really well."
"He keeps it interesting as well."
Michelle nodded in agreement. "Uh-huh."
Vyyn petted her Absol happily. "So, how do you like this class, Absol?" Absol nodded in approval. Vyyn was almost scared to ask if Tanaka believed Absols caused disaster.
Friend Code: 4554-0298-0399. Friend Safari: Emolga, Stunfisk, Manectric.
"Best class yet," Julian said to Vyyn.
Drake, formerly known as Agent Drake Gryphon, of the FBI walked down the halls of the Academy, searching for his classroom. It was his first day and he knew his class would be really soon. An Gardevoir, of an unusual color followed him, his guardian and friend, an Gardevoir that was considered Shiny and different compared to her species. Behind him an Hydreigon followed, his powerhouse and also escape when he was on the force, both Gardevoir and Hydreigon had their ways of getting him out of trouble. Hydreigon was just able to fit in the hallways, her top head scraping on the roof and her two other heads slightly touching the walls.
"Ah finally, found the classroom" Drake said coming upon a door that had Battle Class written on it, he entered to see a rather large room with chairs at the end, a room fit for a battle. "Here we are guys, imagine the kind of battles and teaching we may find here" Drake commented as Gardevoir and Hydreigon looked around the area, Hydreigon flew up into the high room and flew around happy to have more space again.
Vyyn smiled to Julian, listening contently for any signs that this class wouldn't be just about Scoliopede, but then again, maybe this class will be about different Pokémon on different days. Absol walked up to Julian, growling.
Friend Code: 4554-0298-0399. Friend Safari: Emolga, Stunfisk, Manectric.
"Why are you growling at me?"
"Huh?" Vyyn asked, looking towards Julian. She noticed Absol growling at Julian. "Absol, is something wrong?" Absol turned around to her, and nodded toward Julian, giving her a look like, He's a problem. "Absol, there's no reason to get angry at Julian, he didn't do anything wrong." Absol glared at Vyyn.

Editorial: A step forward, not a delay, toward Corpus Christi street fee
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce found itself in the awkward position Monday of appearing to be a de-facto arm of local government — a predicament it did not seek. City officials and a group called Street Fairness had solicited the chamber's opinion on the city's pending, unfinished street maintenance fee and Street Fairness' proposed alternative.
The chamber, judiciously, made no recommendation, having discovered what city officials already knew and Street Fairness either also knows or will learn the hard way — that filling in the billion-dollar street maintenance hole the city has dug itself for the past 30 years is complicated.
Last week, four City Council members forced a delay in the street fee's now-16-month-old approval process because they wanted to hear what the chamber thought. That could be construed, worst case, as letting the chamber run City Hall. But we construe it as using the chamber to take the temperature of the business community — not a bad move. The business community's stake in our streets and who pays how much to improve them should be taken into account.
There are some hard feelings that this exercise — waiting on the chamber's opinion and hearing out this group called Street Fairness — comes unduly late. Those feelings are understandable.
But business operators have found out only recently how the fee formula might affect them. Who's to blame for their finding out so late — themselves or City Hall? There's no constructive answer.
Our instinct, therefore, is to appreciate Street Fairness' unsolicited effort, which was not to kill the fee idea but to apply it more palatably to businesses. Once the group entered the fray, it produced its plan expeditiously.
From what we've seen of it and the response to it from the chamber and some city officials, the Street Fairness plan appears not to meet their standards. For example, the city needs $15 million a year from the plan and this one falls $4.8 million short, though that could be achieved with some fee adjustments. There were errors in the property valuation information the group used. Also, the city seeks to meet the legal differentiation of a fee from a tax and apparently this plan does not.
That said, Street Fairness is a group of concerned citizens, not interlopers. And the chamber's opinion is to be valued, not resented. Here are some other points that should be clarified in the interest of moving forward constructively:
* There is some brewing unrest about how long it'll take the city to get around to fixing the streets in specific council districts. That's a flawed viewpoint because it overlooks that we ALL drive the streets in ALL the districts regardless of where we live. We do our part to wear out the streets that lead to others' doorsteps far from our homes. We sure hope district council members take this into account before they comment and vote.
* We've all identified who should pay the most as someone besides ourselves. We've all heard or said: "It's those 18-wheelers," or "It's those buses," or "It's those big box stores. Make THEM pay for it." Those buses don't run for the sake of ruining the streets but to take people who lack other means of transportation where they need to go. If we didn't want and need what 18-wheelers deliver, they wouldn't come here. Nor would those stores be there to sell what we need. They can and surely will help pay for street maintenance. But whatever they pay will be reflected in what we pay for their goods and services. Don't resent them for choosing not to operate as a charity until they run out of resources.
So, thanks to the chamber for its opinion and Street Fairness for its effort to improve upon the inevitable outcome, which is that we ALL will pay.

Formerly Valley Park RV Resort. This is a very nice KOA, under new management for the past few months. The sites are gravel with cement patio, picnic table, and fire ring. We had site 27, which was quite level, and backed up to a babbling creek. It is a wooded campground with shade and some trees between fairly well spaced sites. The campground runs in a straight line in from the road, so the further back you are, the quieter it is. The hook-ups were fine, cable was pretty good, but the WiFi was slow. Garbage pick-up at site. We did not use the pool, but although it was on the small side it looked very clean and well maintained. The bath house by the pool had only one shower and 2 stalls in the ladies, one stall and urinal in men's room, but they were also clean. Laundry had 2 washers and dryers. More facilities are located in the office, although we did not see them. The location is great, within easy driving distance of Greenville, and the state parks and scenic drives up north. The owners and all who worked there were very nice and helpful. We will definitely return when we are in the area. - roaming flos

We are a welcoming and inviting family and you must be ready for family get together's and visits.
