This time next week we will have been or still checking everything in our new to us RV.
Sorting clothes to bring or give away. Today I got a teapot to go with our coffee press and to actually have tea!
Stainless steel so it will work perfectly for our Nu Wave induction cooker. Then, since we have a rug in the living area of the RV, I ordered an in and outdoor rug runner.
I just love Overstock.com. When this gets destroyed I'm sure I can get another, or hopefully have the rug pulled up and have a wooden floor put in.
Art wise things are going right along. My students heard today that June would be my last teaching month. We talked about doing an on line teaching class so I need to think on that. Then I came home to three happy eager faces that wanted desperately to play ball. I asked them to wait a few minutes but minutes seem like eternity to Labs and Newfies. So, I got up and went out back to throw tennis balls. One after another!!
This is Sammy, our 9 year old Black Lab with Lola our 1 year old Newf.
They will miss the pool. It's a nightly event and the house gets soaking, we get soaked but we have fun. The guy coming up behind Lola is Ozzie. Our 2 year old Chocolate Lab. He can hold three tennis balls or one large green ball and one tennis ball in his mouth at all times. Then the game ends.
They may miss the pool but I bet if you asked they would vote for hanging with us full time.
My book The Adventures Of Lola and The Boys is finally done. Comic style so I can keep drawing and telling the story of our travels through their eyes. I'll let you know when they are available.
Great blog post. Love the pics of the kids playing ball.
I heard a rumor there were some good looking woofies over here, but I see it isn't a rumor at all. Howdy gang!
Howdy Brian, Lola thinks you are really dapper!!!!
Glad to see you Meowmeowmans!!! The furkids say hello!!!

William Hilton Hovell (26 de abril de 1786 – 9 de noviembre de 1875) fue un explorador inglés de Australia. Es más conocido por haber formado parte de la Expedición de Hume y Hovell en 1824, una de las importantes exploraciones del interior de Australia en la primera mitad del siglo XIX.

Biografía
Hovell nació en Yarmouth, Norfolk, Inglaterra. Su padre fue un capitán y codueño de un barco mercante del mediterráneo, en el cual, durante un viaje en 1794, fue capturado por los franceses y llevado a tierra, en donde fue retenido como prisionero de guerra por dos años. William, quien tenía solo 10 años de edad en ese entonces, se fue al mar para poder ganarse la vida. Luego de pasar por la dura vida de ayudante de trinquete, a sus 20 años fue nombrado segundo oficial del Zenobia en rumbo a Perú, y dos años después fue capitán del buque comercial Juno en rumbo a Río de Janeiro, y otros. Luego decidió ir a Australia, llegando a Sídney en el barco Earl Spencer junto a su esposa Esther Arndell (hija del cirujano Thomas Arndell) y sus dos hijos, un niño y una niña, el 9 de octubre de 1813. Asociándose con Simeon Lord, Hovell se convirtió en el maestro de un barco y realizó varios viajes comerciales a lo largo de la costa este de Australia y hacia Nueva Zelanda.

En junio de 1816, mientras se encontraba al mando del barco The Brothers, naufragó en Kent Group, Estrecho de Bass, y junto con ocho miembros de su tripulación sobrevivió por 10 semanas con el trigo que llevaban como carga y que era arrastrado a la costa por la marea. Finalmente fueron rescatados por el Spring. En 1819 se fue a vivir en un terreno cerca de Sídney y exploró un poco hacia el sur; descubrió el valle de Burragorang en 1823.

Expediciones

En 1824, el gobernador Sir Thomas Brisbane le pidió a Hovell que, junto a Hamilton Hume, explore lo que hoy en día es el sur de Nueva Gales del Sur y Victoria para poder obtener mayor información sobre la posibilidad de que algún río fluya hacia el Golfo de Spencer. Hovell tenía poca experiencia como bosquimano, pero sí era un experimentado navegador.

La expedición oficial que en un principio se había planeado nunca tuvo lugar, por lo que Hume y Hovell decidieron realizarla con sus propios fondos, aunque unos cuantos suministros básicos fueron proveídos por el gobierno. Los exploradores partieron el 3 de octubre de 1824 con seis hombres. Llegaron a la estación de Hume el 13 de octubre, y el 17 de ese mes comenzaron la expedición en sí con cinco bueyes, tres caballos, y dos carretas. El 22 de octubre encontraron que la única manera de cruzar el río Murrumbidgee, en ese entonces desbordado, era el convertir una de las carretas en un tipo de bote utilizando uno de los toldos que les había entregado el gobierno; los hombres, caballos y bueyes cruzaron a nado, y toda su carga finalmente fue cruzada con éxito. Uno o dos días después, en una sección de terreno bien accidentado y lleno de riachuelos, tuvieron grandes dificultades para poder encontrar un camino adecuado para sus carretas cargadas, por lo que el 27 de octubre decidieron abandonarlas. Hasta el 16 de noviembre su travesía cruzó un difícil terreno montañoso. Ese día llegaron a un río grande que Hovell llamó río Hume, ya que "él había sido el primero en avistarlo". Este era en realidad la sección superior del río Murray, descubierto por Charles Sturt pocos años atrás. Era imposible cruzar por allí, pero luego de unos pocos días se encontró un mejor lugar, y tras construir un rudimentario bote, lograron pasar al otro lado. Para el 3 de diciembre habían llegado al río Goulburn, el cual pudieron cruzar sin bote. Durante los siguientes diez días se enfrentaron a un terreno muy difícil, pero finalmente llegaron a una zona más plana y abierta, y el 16 de diciembre avistaron Port Phillip a la distancia. Bordearon su costa en dirección al suroeste y llegaron a lo que hoy en día es Corio Bay cerca de Geelong. Allí el grupo regresó el 18 de diciembre y sabiamente siguieron una ruta más al oeste que era más fácil. El 8 de enero de 1825 terminaron todas sus provisiones, y por unos días subsistieron de pescado y un canguro que habían logrado disparar. El 16 de enero de 1825 llegaron a las carretas que habían dejado atrás, y dos días después al lago George.

El 25 de marzo de 1825 el gobernador Brisbane mencionó los descubrimientos de Hovell y Hume en un comunicado y dijo que pretendía enviar un barco a Western Port y explorarlo. Sin embargo, nada se llevó a cabo hasta la llegada de su sucesor, el gobernador Ralph Darling, quien a finales de 1826 envió una expedición bajo el mando del Capitán Wright a Western Port. Hovell formó parte de esta expedición, y poco después de que llegaron se descubrió su error anterior en la longitud. Hovell exploró y realizó un reporte sobre las tierras que rodeaban Wester Port y el norte de este, y cerca de la costa al este de Cape Paterson descubrió "grandes cantidades de carbón de muy buena calidad". Este fue el primer descubrimiento de carbón en Victoria. Hovell estuvo cinco meses con esta expedición, la cual terminaría siendo su última. En los siguientes diez años hizo lo posible para obtener algún tipo de reconocimiento por parte del gobierno, además de concesiones de tierra de 1.200 acres por su viaje con Hume, y 1.280 por su viaje a Western Port. Parece no haber tenido éxito con esta solicitud, pero debió haber prosperado en su viaje a Goulburn, en donde vivió por el resto de su vida. Murió el 9 de noviembre de 1875, y en 1877 su viuda entregó £6000 a la Universidad de Sídney como un memorial de él, dinero que fue utilizado para fundar el lectorado William Hilton Hovell de geología y geografía física.

Vida posterior
En 1854 surgió enemistad entre Hume y Hovell que llevó a que cada uno escriba panfletos con versiones contradictorias de su expedición. En diciembre de 1853 Hovell fue honrado con una cena pública en Geelong para celebrar el 29º aniversario del descubrimiento del distrito.  La noticia de que Hovell había tomado el crédito por el descubrimiento de Geelong llegó a Hume, quien lo tomó muy negativamente. El reporte completo disponible del discurso de Hovell no justificaba la disputa de Hume.

Hume era el bosquimano más experimentado de los dos, y un líder más natural, pero Hovell era un hombre bien educado y de carácter amigable, y durante su expedición conjunta parece que lograron trabajar juntos en forma eficiente. Entre los dos fueron responsables de un excelente e importante descubrimiento. El posterior descubrimiento de carbón por parte Hovell en su visita a Western Port también fue importante; es extraordinario que este descubrimiento haya sido ignorado por un largo periodo de tiempo.

Hovell murió en Sídney el 9 de noviembre de 1875 y fue enterrado en Goulburn, dejando atrás a un hijo.

Honores
William Hovell Drive, un camino que conecta los distritos de Belconnen y North Canberra en Canberra fue nombrado en su honor.

En 1976, Hume y Hovell fueron conmemorados en una estampilla emitida por Australia Post que mostraba el rostro de ambos.

El lago William Hovell sobre el río King fue nombrado en su honor.

William Hovell Drive entre Matthew Flinders Avenue y John Edgcumbe Way en Endeavour Hills, Victoria, también fue nombrada en su honor.

[The psychologist] is concerned with the experiences which make up the life-history of the individual mind.
The quotation from Stout that introduces Part II is, in essence, the job description of a 1920's psychologist. So here we have my notes of notes on the novel's psychoanalyst, Dr Stephen Maynard.
Idealistic, romantic. Ruthless in his ambition. Guilt plays a big part in his make up.
Follower of Jung rather than Freud. Instinctive rather than rigorous.
Classic participant in the Karpman Triangle of rescuer, victim, persecutor.
Probing a patient's pain is easier than facing his own.
Needs to rekindle Edith's interest in the external world.
Cure might not be possible but accommodation is feasible.
Introverts may repress their affects to an unnecessary and harmful degree. Seeing emotion as weak and morbid (common in medical men!) confirms them in the habit of repression. For these people catharsis – even that induced by alcohol – may have great value.
A kind man. But a coward at heart.
Major word for Stephen is 'forgiveness'.

On entry to a warm and gloriously packed-out Boiler Shop, it was almost impossible to avoid the strong diversity of aromas and activities happening within. In true iVAMOS! style, the place was a hub of vivid party spirit before even a hint of any spandex-clad wrestlers could be seen.
To say that there was a variety of food stalls in the industrial venue would be an understatement, as the crowds had their fill of just about everything you could possibly want at any event, let alone one as eccentric as this: Breaking Bad themed Heisenberg Wings, a pop-up creperie, alcoholic ice lollies, and even a sneaky showcase from Newcastle's very own Fat Hippo. Just as I was contemplating which food(s) to throw the contents of my thinly-lined purse at, The Final Countdown began to echo around the room, signalling the start of what the chilled out attendees were so eagerly anticipating: the wrestling itself.
After an attempt to take in the vibrant atmosphere of a venue that could only be described as partway between a rustic garden party and an episode of Channel 4's period drama The Mill, I quickly found myself in a slightly surreal situation. Baked camembert in one hand (courtesy of the magnificent Elodie Camembert), notebook in the other, I juggled my attention between the glittering violence occurring in the ring before me, and the amazingly dressed hostess encouraging bouts of theatrical chanting around the room. Admittedly, I know little about wrestling as a sport – let alone the Mexican variety – and I can't really say that my brief, fast-paced brush with the world of Lucha Libre has educated me much in the way of actual rules. Nevertheless, I was soon shouting myself hoarse for a guy in a feather boa who would probably thank me for referring to him as "the Joey Essex of Wrestling," as we watched him throw both himself and his sparkly opponent around the ring.
A brief interlude to the light-hearted brutality featured a perfect soundtrack from the energetic Voodoo Love Orchestra, stimulating some pretty impressive dancing from a few classically trained couples, who easily put my absent-minded hip-waggling to shame. Following that performance, the DJ indulged the crowd with none other than Lou Bega's school disco hit Mambo No. 5, which naturally brought the entire contents of the room onto the dancefloor in a wonderfully diverse encapsulation of the festival's celebratory spirit.
At last came the time for an appearance from the illustrious guest star Cassandro, former UWA World Lightweight Champion and proud owner of the most flamboyant cape I've seen in quite some time. In a fabulous brawl not too dissimilar from a pantomime act, the 45-year-old wrestling legend quickly trounced his opponents, much to the delight of the jubilant crowd.
The evening was an impeccable celebration of culture, cuisine, and crowd participation; with a single, sun-filled room decked out in food carts and fairy lights, Newcastle readily took on the iVAMOS! summer party atmosphere and made it their own.

Red Beryl
Red beryl is an extremely rare variety of beryl that receives its red color from trace amounts of manganese. Red Beryl is also known as Bixbite and is sometimes called Red Emerald. This gemstone is the rarest of all beryl gemstones, and is perhaps the rarest of all precious gems. For each "Red Emerald" gemstone in the world, it is estimated there are 150,000 Diamonds, 12,000 Green Emeralds, and 9,000 Rubies.
Red Beryl was written about in Gems & Gemology Vol. XX, 1984 © Gemological Institute of America "Red Beryl is now, and is likely to remain, the rarest of all gem beryls. Material from the Ruby-Violet Claims provides both spectacular gemstones and mineral specimens." and most recently in the May 2017 edition of Rock & Gem magazine Vol 47 Issue 5 "Is it Really Red Emerald? Rare Red Beryl Deserves a Special Name."
In the entire world, crystals suitable for cutting gems have been found in only one location, the Ruby-Violet claims in the Wah Wah Mountains of Beaver County, Utah. The Utah Geological Survey is the source that estimated one crystal of red beryl is found for every 150,000 gem-quality diamonds. Only 0.5% of all gem Red Beryl found reach the half caret size. These are seen in the photo above right bottom Red Emerald Suite Treasure Bracelet or the combined weight 11 carats of the largest gemstones in the Red Emerald Suite Treasure Earrings (one of which is shown above the bracelet.)
"Red Emerald" was first discovered in Utah in 1904 by Maynard Bixby (the mineral was named "Bixbite" in his honor). The yeild concentrations were small and the mineral wasn't of gem-quality. In 1958 gem quality "Bixbite" was discovered in the Wah Wah Mountains by Lamar Hodges of Fillmore, Utah who was prospecting for uranium at the time.
He staked twelve unpatented lode claims after his discovery. They were named Ruby,1 through 4, and Violet,1 through 8. These were worked as hobby mines by the Hodges family and by intermittent leases, known as the "Ruby Violet claims".
In 1967 the mining rights were sold to the Harris family of Delta, Utah who began a small-scale, open-cut, artisan mining operation, adding additional heavy equipment and increasing the mechanized operations through the1990's. The red "Bixbite" crystals were identified for the first time as Red Beryl crystals by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in 1971.

The lyrics stem from thoughts about the modern world we are living in. How data, television and the speed of technology is building up over landscapes, creating new metropolises. Knocking on all our doors, there is no escape. In the end perhaps only nature will be able to regulate against its enemies and the world that it's created.
The video reflects the lyrics and the sense of trying to save something, whether it is ourselves, a friend, a place of comfort, or the world we live in. The tension in the music is captured by the main character trying to save his world and let Nature Regulate.

Q: What is the simplest IDisposable pattern in c#? If I have a class which makes use of managed resources only, so I don't see any need to fully implement the IDisposable pattern.
Surely this is sufficient:
    public class ManagedResourceClient : IDisposable
    {
        private ITheManagedResource _myManagedResource = new TheManagedResource()

        public void Dispose()
        {
            if ( _myManagedResource != null )
            {
                _myManagedResource.Dispose();
                _myManagedResource = null;
            }
        }
    }

I don't see any reason to use:

*

*a finalizer as this is using only managed resources that implement IDisposable

*a 'disposing' flag as this is handled by a null check

*a virtual Disposing method as there is no need to differentiate between GC calls and direct calls.

Can the above be confirmed as correct?

A: You almost had it, because your class is not sealed someone could derive from your class and that derived class could also need to dispose a object. Make your class sealed and your current implementation is fine.
public sealed class ManagedResourceClient : IDisposable
{
    private ITheManagedResource _myManagedResource = new TheManagedResource()

    public void Dispose()
    {
        if ( _myManagedResource != null )
        {
            _myManagedResource.Dispose();
            _myManagedResource = null;
        }
    }
}

If you want to learn more about disposing (and why the stock example with a finializer Microsoft gives is actually a bad example) see this really good article by Stepen Cleary: "IDisposable: What Your Mother Never Told You About Resource Deallocation"

Cafeteria catering is one of our specialties. Talk to us about catering to your Philadelphia cafeteria.
The biggest reason that people give for not eating a balanced diet, or seeking out the best ingredients for nutritional and healthy meals, is that they just don't have time. Where our food choices suffer the most is during work. When we're concentrating, jumping from meeting to meeting, and stressing about looming deadlines, we forget about good food. We're just happy we take the time to eat at all, so we tend to go for the quick meal, the so-called "fast food." Fast food is typically not the most balanced meal. If we don't give ourselves the fuel we need to stay sharp, creative, focused, and happy, our work is eventually going to suffer. For companies that want to get the best out of their employees, nutritional cafeteria catering is the way to go.
We've been immersed in the Philadelphia food scene and would love to bring our catering to your Philadelphia cafeteria. We'll take care of your and your employees with three balanced meals a day, plus a little dessert, starting with a healthy breakfast and finishing with our famous brownies.
We keep it fresh and seasonal, making sure that all ingredients carry the highest nutritional value. However, eating a balanced diet doesn't mean anything if the flavors aren't good. We make sure every dish is bursting with flavor, and since we're foodies, we cook every type of cuisine authentically.
We can accommodate every type of cuisine and diet, like our vegetarian portobello mushrooms stuffed with tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil.
The days of the 9-5 work day is over. These days, someone is always at the office from early mornings to late in the evening. We'll cater breakfast, lunch, and dinner to your company cafeteria. If you're working odd hours, we'll make sure you have something that is good (and good for you) to eat.
We're a family-run catering business that serves the greater Philadelphia area and Bucks County. We're the closest thing you can come to having three home cooked meals at your company cafeteria. Home cooked meals at work are the ultimate way to help balance work and life, and your employees will thank you for it!

Ok, I admit it. I'm a fan of the Fox medical drama House. Last night I only caught the tail end of the show, which was just enough to realize that Dr. Lawrence Kutner, a character played by actor Kal Penn, of the "Harold and Kumar" movies, had been killed off. He committed suicide.
To find the rest of the story, I did a few Web searches this morning, and came across an online memorial for the character and a Facebook page where viewers could mourn his loss. I was confused. Had the actor who played Kutner actually died in real life? Why else would there be actual memorial pages for him?
It was probably very clear to viewers who had seen the full episode. And, apparently, I get a little too sucked into shows and have a hard time distinguishing fiction from reality. As it turns out Kal Penn is leaving his acting career for a job at the White House. Penn was an active supporter of President Obama on the campaign trail and he was offered the position of Associate Director in the White House Office of Public Liaison, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Still, why would Fox create social networking pages?
FOX has launched a special online memorial at fox.com/kutner to give viewers an opportunity to remember "Dr. Lawrence Kutner" (Kal Penn), whose unexpected suicide occurred on last night's episode of HOUSE. Features of the site include a video tribute to Kutner featuring music composed by Hugh Laurie, Kutner's obituary, messages posted by Princeton Plainsboro coworkers and a link to the Kutner memorial Facebook page.
On the Facebook page, fans have the opportunity to leave personal messages remembering the character, view photos, video clips, as well as "grab" his hospital ID to post on social networking sites and their personal blogs. Additionally, the HOUSE homepage at fox.com/house will have a new look in observance of this somber storyline.
The question I pose to readers: is this a good use of social media by a broadcast network? I have to hand it Fox for experimenting and taking advantage of situations on the show in order to interact with viewers. But was it effective?
Either way, networks have no choice but to try everything they can to reach viewers who are online. And on that note, it looks like viewers are getting more accustomed to viewing ads in exchange for a network's video content. According to a Knowledge Networks poll, 80 percent of online network TV viewers would prefer to view ads in exchange for unpaid video content, up from 67 percent in 2006.
The data indicates a grudging acceptance of preroll ads, the most popular video ad format currently available. In 2008, 7 percentage points more network TV viewers (37 percent) said they watched videos with preroll ads than did in 2006.
The viewing rate was highest among people who solely viewed online-only features, with 46 percent saying they watched the prerolls. Among those who viewed only full episodes, 76 percent watched or listened to the ads. The lowest viewing rate was among viewers of only episode clips.
Who is paying for this BS? What a bunch of maroons as Bugs would say. Obama continues to build the Socialist Army. Is he going to be called a Czar. We need more Czar's. Will there be a Czar for Cars to handle running the automakers that Obama seems to be taking over?

What would you say if you discovered that you could travel the world, do some good and have lots of fun all at the same time? You'd probably dismiss the idea as fanciful, right?
Well, it is possible to combine all three by volunteering for community service with charities and community organisations across America. In many cases, the experience is highly rewarding, and you get to meet new friends in the process.
There are four types of community service in particular that attract people from all over the world, and getting involved is probably easier than you think.
Inner city projects are underway in many of the world's major cities, and you could be helping local action groups and charities to transform some of the more run-down and deprived neighbourhoods in the world.
You could get stuck in to a community garden project, whilst joining a tree-planting initiative will help you to leave a lasting legacy in the world. There are also some fantastic urban produce projects underway which help to feed the local homeless community. Just remember: it's a lot of hard work!
Two great places to start your search for environmental projects in local communities are the Volunteer website and Do Something – a site for teens and young adults who want to make a difference on their travels.
Some of the largest, richest cities in the world have major problems with homelessness, and you can do your bit to make the lives of street-dwellers more bearable.
Making a difference can be something as simple as volunteering at a soup kitchen or distributing blankets and clothing to people on the streets. However, if you're feeling a little more ambitious, you could help one of the major home-building projects funded by Habitat for Humanity.
The Red Cross also operates projects for the homeless and vulnerable all over the world, and they are always on the look-out for volunteers to help with blood donation projects, education initiatives and reach-out programmes.
Sometimes, helping the elderly simply means being there for companionship and emotional support. There are many charities for the elderly that concentrate solely on dealing with loneliness, or you could help administer major care initiatives across local communities.
There are several charities in the USA aimed at helping underprivileged, abandoned and abused children, and working with them can be very rewarding.
Whether you want to become a big brother or sister to an orphaned child or help with the administration of summer camps, you can make a real difference to young lives whilst having some fun.
A great place to start your search for community service work with children is the Operation Smile website. This national charity in the USA focuses on education, outreach and medical projects for children with facial deformities.


In this video from Ernie Ball, country artist and guitarist Hunter Hayes discusses the company's new Paradigm strings.
As Ernie Ball's latest string innovation, Paradigm represents the most advanced string technology ever created, and the strings are the first to come with a fully backed guarantee: If they break or rust within 90 days of purchase, Ernie Ball will replace them free of charge.
"It's not just about how long it lasts—how long it holds on the guitar. It's about how long it stays sounding the same, and reacts the same. It's gotta be just as punchy as the first day, the first time you played it. These do that," Hayes says.
The strings feature a combination of Ernie Ball's proprietary Everlast nanotreatment coupled with a breakthrough plasma process that further enhances the corrosion resistance like never before.

Episode 199 – Lawful Dissent
On this episode, we discuss the Law family. William, his wife Jane, and his brother Wilson, converted to the church in the mid-1830s and moved to the burgeoning city of Nauvoo in 1839. From that point forward, William and Jane were elevated to high-ranking levels of Mormon and city leadership. Joseph Smith and William Law became good friends and coworkers in Nauvoo government and military duties. But, something changed. By late 1843, William began to bristle about how much political influence Joseph Smith was gaining. By January of 1844, William was dropped from the Presidency of the church (Jo's left-hand man). William, Jane, and Wilson Law eventually became looped together with the dissenter movement within the kingdom. They finally chose to act and formed their own sect of Mormonism in Nauvoo, collected affidavits of those wronged by the Nauvoo leadership and Joseph Smith, and established an adversarial printing press. The Higbees, the Fosters, and the Laws establishing this rival church and expose printing press would catalyze a sequence of events which would lead to the deaths of Joseph and Hyrum Smith.

Q: jQuery Validation plugin not catching errors Today is my first attempt at using the jQuery Validation plugin.  My form is for validating GPS coordinates.
Here are my rules and messages:
$(document).ready(function() {
    // validate form when called
    var validator =$("#box-registration").validate({
        rules: {
            latitude: {
                min: 0,
                max: 90,
                number: true
                },

            longitude {
                min: 0,
                max: 180,
                number: true
                },

            geo_dms {
                min: 0,
                max: 59,
                number: true
                }
            },
        messages: {
            latitude: "Latitude must be between 0 and 90",
            longitude: "Longitude must be between 0 and 180",
            geo_dms: "Degree minutes and seconds must be between 0 and 59"
            }
        });
    });

Here is part of the form I am trying to validate. I am trying to apply validation to the elements "geo-lat-dd" and "geo-lon-dd":

Latitude

            **
<input  id="geo-lat-dd" name="geo-lat-dd" type="text" class="latitude textinput100 nonewrow"/>
**

                <input type="radio" name="latDD" id="latDDN" checked="checked" value="N" class="nonewrow" />N
                <input type="radio" name="latDD" id="latDDS" value="S" class="nonewrow" />S

Longitude

            **
<input id="geo-lon-dd" name="geo-lon-dd" type="text" class="longitude textinput100 nonewrow" />
**

                <input type="radio" name="lonDD" id="latDDW" checked="checked" value="W" class="nonewrow" />W

The two elements have classes "latitude" and "longitude" applied, and my Validation plugin rules include those classes (there are also fields for degrees-minutes-seconds so I'm trying to re-use the classes instead of using IDs).
No error messages appear when I validate the form with values like 9999 in the fields. Using Firebug, I have stepped through and confirmed the validation code is running, but it returns no exceptions.
In the rules, I have also tried putting a dot in front of the selectors, which crashed the page, and also enclosing it in quotes with a period, like ".latitude"
Can someone please point me in the right direction to figure out what I'm doing wrong?

A: There are a few issues:

*

A 3D printed microscope for everyone
The open-source system from the 3D printer delivers high-resolution images like commercial microscopes at hundreds of times the price.
Modern microscopes used for biological imaging are expensive, are located in specialized laboratories and require highly qualified staff. To research novel, creative approaches to address urgent scientific issues — for example in the fight against infectious diseases such as Covid-19 — is thus primarily reserved for scientists at well-equipped research institutions in rich countries.
A young research team from the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) in Jena, the Friedrich Schiller University and Jena University Hospital wants to change this: The researchers have developed an optical toolbox to build microscopes for a few hundred euros that deliver high-resolution images comparable to commercial microscopes that cost a hundred to a thousand times more. With open-source blueprints, components from the 3D printer and smartphone camera, the UC2 (You. See. Too.) modular system can be combined specifically in the way the research question requires — from long-term observation of living organisms in the incubator to a toolbox for optics education.
The basic building block of the UC2 system is a simple 3D printable cube with an edge length of 5 centimeters, which can host a variety of components such as lenses, LEDs or cameras. Several such cubes are plugged on a magnetic raster base plate. Cleverly arranged, the modules thus result in a powerful optical instrument. An optical concept according to which focal planes of adjacent lenses coincide is the basis for most of the complex optical setups such as modern microscopes. With the UC2 toolbox, the research team of PhD students at the lab of Prof. Dr. Rainer Heintzmann, Leibniz IPHT and Friedrich Schiller University Jena, shows how this inherently modular process can be understood intuitively in hands-on-experiments. In this way, UC2 also provides users without technical training with an optical tool that they can use, modify and expand — depending on what they are researching.
Recycle the contaminated microscope
Helge Ewers, Professor of Biochemistry at the Free University of Berlin and the Charité, is investigating pathogens usind the UC2 toolbox. "The UC2 system allows us to produce a high-quality microscope at low cost, with which we can observe living cells in an incubator", he states. UC2 thus opens up areas of application for biomedical research for which conventional microscopes are not suitable.
"Commercial microscopes that can be used to examine pathogens over a longer period of time cost hundreds or thousands of times more than our UC2 setup," says Benedict Diederich, PhD student at Leibniz-IPHT, who developed the optical toolbox there together with René Lachmann. "You can hardly get them into a contaminated laboratory from which you may not be able to remove them because they cannot be cleaned easily". The UC2 microscope made of plastic, on the other hand, can be easily burned or recycled after its successful use in the biological safety laboratory. For a study at Jena University Hospital, the UC2 team observed the differentiation of monocytes into macrophages in the incubator over a period of one week in order to gain insights into how the innate immune system fights off pathogens in the body.
The Lego principle
With UC2 users can assemble their own microscope according to the Lego principle. In this way, Benedict Diederich (left) and René Lachmann not only awaken the inner play instinct, but also open up completely new possibilities for researchers to tailor a tool precisely to their research question.

Building according to the Lego principle — this not only awakens the users' inner play instinct, observes the UC2 team, but it also opens up new possibilities for researchers to design an instrument precisely tailored to their research question. "With our method, it is possible to quickly assemble the right tool to map specific cells," explains Benedict Diederich. "If, for example, a red wavelength is required as excitation, you simply install the appropriate laser and change the filter. If an inverted microscope is needed, you stack the cubes accordingly. With the UC2 system, elements can be combined depending on the required resolution, stability, duration or microscopy method and tested directly in the "rapid prototyping" process.
The researchers publish construction plans and software on the freely accessible online repository GitHub, so that the open-source community worldwide can access, rebuild, modify and expand the presented systems. "With the feedback from users, we improve the system step by step and add ever new creative solutions," reports René Lachmann. The first users have already started to expand the system for themselves and their purposes. "We are eager to see when we can present the first user solutions".
The aim behind this is to enable open science. Thanks to the detailed documentation, researchers can reproduce and further develop experiments anywhere in the world, even beyond well-equipped laboratories. "Change in Paradigm: Science for a Dime" is what Benedict Diederich calls this vision: to herald a paradigm shift in which the scientific process is as open and transparent as possible, freely accessible to all, where researchers share their knowledge with each other and incorporate it into their work.
"We want to make modern microscopy techniques accessible to a broad public," says Benedict Diederich, "and build up an open and creative microscopy community". This build-it-yourself approach to teaching has a huge potential, especially at times of the Corona pandemics, when access to teaching material at home is severely limited.
The research was published in Nature Communications.

Nationwide Training Union evaluation discovered spending was not maintaining tempo with quickly rising demand in almost all (93%) of England's native councils.
The NEU launched its evaluation of official figures at its annual convention in Liverpool the place it should debate the difficulty.
It mentioned almost two-thirds of England's native councils are spending much less per pupil with advanced wants than they have been three years in the past, in actual phrases.
A part of the issue is that since 2014, councils have needed to tackle help for younger individuals – as much as the age of 25 – who're on particular wants care plans, generally known as EHCPs.
However councils say this further responsibility was not funded correctly.
The union, whose members see pupils with unmet wants first-hand at school, says colleges simply do not need the cash to fund help for pupils in the best way that they should do.
The dearth of funds has resulted within the lack of obligatory help employees who assist these kids entry training, elevated ready occasions for assessments and cuts to specialist provision, in response to the NEU.
Youngsters and Households Minister Nadhim Zahawi mentioned it was not proper to indicate that funding had been minimize, including that his division had elevated spending this 12 months on the excessive wants budgets for these with extreme and sophisticated wants.
However households in North Yorkshire, Birmingham and East Sussex are taking central authorities to courtroom over the best way it offers funding to native authorities for particular wants.
A number of native authorities are awaiting choices after authorized challenges have been mounted over cuts to their particular wants budgets.

Hunter-gatherer populations are remarkable for their excellent metabolic and cardiovascular health and thus are often used as models in public health, in an effort to understand the root, evolutionary causes of non-communicable diseases. Here, we review recent work on health, activity, energetics and diet among hunter-gatherers and other small-scale societies (e.g. subsistence farmers, horticulturalists and pastoralists), as well as recent fossil and archaeological discoveries, to provide a more comprehensive perspective on lifestyle and health in these populations. We supplement these analyses with new data from the Hadza, a hunter-gatherer population in northern Tanzania. Longevity among small-scale populations approaches that of industrialized populations, and metabolic and cardiovascular disease are rare. Obesity prevalence is very low (<5%), and mean body fat percentage is modest (women: 24?28%, men: 9?18%). Activity levels are high, exceeding 100 min d?1 of moderate and vigorous physical activity, but daily energy expenditures are similar to industrialized populations. Diets in hunter-gatherer and other small-scale societies tend to be less energy dense and richer in fibre and micronutrients than modern diets but are not invariably low carbohydrate as sometimes argued. A more integrative understanding of hunter-gatherer health and lifestyle, including elements beyond diet and activity, will improve public health efforts in industrialized populations.

The corpus of J, on the other hand, contains higher incidence of gerundial clauses syntactically operating as direct object, prepositional object, and postmodifier.
Recall also that, in agreement with Levin, we have assumed that directionality/location, far from being an inherent property of run-verbs, is only provided when directional/local prepositional objects co-occur with these verbs.
Although with a much smaller rate of frequency (7%; in raw figures, 46 out of the 658 tokens analysed), clausal topics realized by personal pronouns and nominal groups functioning as direct or prepositional objects have also been identified in the thirty news items.
More specifically, my main concern is why prepositional objects of some adjectives are more frequently used in extraposition constructions than prepositional objects of other adjectives.
The purpose of the investigation was to determine the relative position of the prepositional objects of the 58 adjectives with respect to the second pole or verbal end group.
To me at that time, the in and the for were prepositions followed by prepositional objects.
3, respectively, and the difference between objects and prepositional objects is minimal.
The Afrikaans preposition vir, which derives from Dutch voor `for', has a couple of functions that distinguish it from its Dutch counterpart: besides marking beneficiaries and certain prepositional objects, more or less as in Dutch, vir can also mark recipients and animate direct objects, which is an "un-Dutch" feature of Afrikaans.
1) The early stages of acquisition considered here include few predicates that take governed or other prepositional objects.

Legends behind wheel for Holden tribute
By Stefan Bartholomaeus
Three Bathurst-winning Holden drivers will take to Mount Panorama for a special tribute to the departing brand at the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.
This weekend marks the last for Holden's factory presence in Supercars, following parent company General Motors' decision to wind-up the marque at the end of the year.
Supercars teams will continue to race their current Commodores next year, before the Chevrolet Camaro debuts with the Gen3 rule package in 2022.
Holden has been a central part of the Bathurst event, from its first win in 1968 with Bruce McPhee's privately-entered Monaro to the modern Supercars era.
Mark Skaife, Craig Lowndes and Todd Kelly will pay tribute to that history during a special 15-minute track session from 11:05am today.
The Bathurst National Motor Racing Museum's replica of the 1968 winning car will be driven by Lowndes, who has taken four of his seven Bathurst wins in Holdens.
Fellow four-time Holden Bathurst winner and now Supercars commentator Skaife will cut laps in an ex-Peter Brock Holden Dealer Team Group A VK Commodore.
Skaife's 2005 Bathurst-winning co-driver Kelly is meanwhile set to steer the Monaro in which he shared to victory in the 2003 Bathurst 24 Hour.
The laps will feature on the television broadcast, with the drivers to share their Holden memories as they drive around the circuit.
"It's a really nice thing to be a part of, especially for Craig and I," Skaife told Supercars.com. "Holden has meant so much to us, it's been such a big part of our lives.
"Winning Bathurst with Todd on his birthday in 2005 was particularly special, so it'll be nice to share the moment with him too.
"I remember racing against [Group A Commodores] when I just started out with Nissan in the 1980s, so it'll be great to have a little speed around in one."
The tribute has been put together by Jeff Grech, who led the Holden Racing Team through its golden era in the late 1990s and early 2000s, and Holden's Chris Payne.
Grech now heads up operations at Winton and had been planning a Holden tribute at the Victorian circuit's Supercars event before it was called off due to travel restrictions.
"Holden is obviously pretty dear to my heart," said Grech, who helped build the now Chad Parrish-owned VK while working at the HDT in the mid-1980s.
"The success of the Holden brand on the track as well as the showroom means it's forever etched in the sport's history and it's only appropriate to pay tribute to that."
The 24 Hour-winning Monaro was originally built and raced by Garry Rogers Motorsport on behalf of Holden and is now owned by collector Pete Lucas.
It was recently refurbished by GRM for the Bathurst laps, travelling to the circuit alongside the ZB Commodore the team is fielding as a wildcard in the Great Race.

Parafix Tapes & Conversions Ltd to sponsor Sussex's Royal London One-Day Cup shirt Wednesday 15th March 2017
17 March 2017 1:18 PM | Tracie Davey
Sussex Cricket are delighted to announce that they have signed a deal with
Parafix Tapes & Conversions Ltd<http://www.parafix.com/> to be the sponsor
of their Royal London One-Day Cup shirt during the 2017 season.
Parafix is Europe's leading converter of adhesive and flexible materials,
supplying custom components into healthcare, automotive, electronics and
industrial markets.
From their state-of-the-art facilities in Sussex and Hungary, Parafix
produce over 250 million die-cuts a year, exported to over 50 countries.
Their name will proudly be displayed on Sussex's new Royal London One-Day
Cup shirt for 2017, as the Sharks begin their quest for a Lord's final. They
will actually begin their 2017 campaign at the Home of Cricket on Thursday
27th April, when Sussex travel to face Middlesex, the first of four away
South Group games.
The Sharks will then return to The 1st Central County Ground to entertain
Somerset on Sunday 30th April. There are also four South Group matches at
home, with Glamorgan and Surrey subsequent visitors to Hove, before the
Sharks head to The Saffrons, Eastbourne for the first time since 2000, where
they will welcome Gloucestershire on Sunday 14th May.
The knockout stages then take place in June and Sussex will have hoped to
have qualified for the latter stages of the competition ahead of the final
at Lord's in July.
Mike Punter, Managing Director of Parafix, said, "We play an active role in
supporting our communities, including our local sports teams. We are
delighted to sponsor the Sussex Royal London One-Day Cup shirt for 2017 and
have high hopes of enjoying a great day at Lord's on the 1st July."
Sussex's Business Relationship Manager Tony Cottey said, "Parafix are a
long-time supporter of Sussex and we are thrilled that they have chosen to
sponsor this season's Royal London One-Day Cup shirt.
"We look forward to welcoming Parafix back to Hove this season when we hope
Sussex will be challenging at the top of the South Group table to be in with
a shout of a Lord's final, which is a highlight of any player's career."

So Says I is a song by American indie rock band The Shins, the third track of their second album Chutes Too Narrow.  It was released as a single on 21 September 2003 on Sub Pop Records.

The song was written by the band's lead singer, James Mercer.  His lyrics reference and compare life under communist and capitalist economic systems.

This song is performed by The Shins live in the Gilmore Girls season four episode, "Girls in Bikinis, Boys Doin' The Twist."

It remains a fan favorite and is often performed as a set closer at their live shows.

Music video
The music video was directed and animated by Plates Animation Inc. It starts with a 'prehistoric' penguin extracting a tooth from a walrus (the tooth is symbolic throughout the video, as a metaphor to materialism).  The penguins are divided into Communist and capitalist roles as the video progresses.  The 'Red' penguins are in upheaval (similar to actual historic events).  Ominously, the 'Red' penguin leaders are moving strategic assets in a war room, focusing their attention to the West.

The 'Capitalist' penguins (with ties) are oblivious to the world outside their lives.  A derelict penguin (sans tie) is begging for spare fish. One penguin finally shows pity and gives a walrus tooth to the homeless penguin.  The video closes out with a protest (which mirrors an earlier protest by Red Penguins).  Both sets of protesters ironically want the same thing, as many of the signs for both have the same message ("Let us Fly" and "Free the Penguin").

 "Mild Child" - (4:28)
 "Gone for Good (alternate version)" - (3:07)

If you love to travel, there are some handy accessories that you'll want to take with you on your journey.
These accessories offer additional convenience and can help make the process of getting to your destination more enjoyable.
The standard travel bottles that you use to hold your shampoo and other liquids could leak and leave a gooey mess. Fortunately, there are now leak-proof travel bottles on the market that are made from silicone and provide a tighter seal. A set of these types of bottles includes bottles of different colors that are already labeled with names of common liquids so that they can be organized easily. These bottles are also squeezable so that you won't have to shake them when you want to use any of the liquids. The best leak-proof bottles on the market are TSA-approved and can easily pass through security detectors at airports.
A fabric defuzzer can keep you looking your best while you travel. You can pick up a compact handheld fabric defuzzer that's easy to pack in a carry-on bag. These products are battery-operated so that you won't have to worry about messing with cords and finding power outlets. You can use your defuzzer to remove unsightly fuzz from pants, shirts, sweaters and all your other garments. Certain models have multiple settings that can be easily adjusted depending on the amount of fuzz that needs to be removed. These defuzzers are safe to use on all types of fabric.
One of the biggest hassles of traveling is having to deal with a belt that might set off a metal detector when passing through a TSA security checkpoint. However, there are now stylish airport friendly belts on the market that don't contain any metal and don't need to be removed when passing through checkpoints. A belt like this can save you time and embarrassment. Some belts are also reversible and feature different colors on each side to match all types of outfits. A military webbing belt is one of the best options because of its lightweight, durable material and the comfort that it will provide you while wearing it. These belts are also easy to adjust to fit waists of all sizes.
One of your biggest worries about traveling is having any of your items stolen. With an anti-theft messenger bag, you'll enjoy some additional peace of mind. These types of bags are made from high-quality slash-proof materials and come with cut-proof adjustable straps. You can get a bag with a pocket that can hold your credit cards, driver's license and passport securely and block radio-frequency identification scanners that people might try to use to steal your information. This bag is made to fit across the body so that you won't have to fuss with carrying it by hand.
If you plan to travel internationally, you'll likely need a power adapter in order to plug in your electronic devices. There are USB travel adapters that are compatible with the electrical outlets of multiple countries and can save you the trouble of having to bring multiple adapter plugs. Some devices feature multiple power ports that allow you to charge a series of electronic devices at one time. Most USB travel adapters weigh less than one pound and come with their own storage cases.
Your travels can be much more enjoyable and convenient with the right accessories. These useful items are great to bring along for all types of trips and should be added to your packing list.
