Bette Davis once said that getting old is not for sissies. Also, a lifetime of love and loss has made many women distrustful and unwilling to get back into the dating game. Dating coaches take a more positive stance on dating after They explain that a change in mindset is essential for women over 60 who want to find romance. In my recent interview with dating coach, David Wygant , he suggested that men are often the ones who lack confidence and suffer from fear of rejection. He says that older women have the power to make a connection that turns into a dating opportunity.

Yes, famous old men dating younger women. But a gap of 30 years or more leaves Amanda Platell cold.
London – To celebrate his 65th birthday, Ronnie Wood took his beautiful year-old girlfriend to Venice, the city of love. As they cuddled together in a gold-encrusted gondola, Sally Humphreys leaned in adoringly for a lingering kiss – from a man almost old enough to be her grandad. His thin, wrinkled lips were puckered like those of a man who had misplaced his dentures. His crepey skin stretched across his thin, boney face, his sun-damaged hand reached for her slender knee, his turkey neck wobbled in anticipation of a night of passion.
To be honest, it was utterly revolting. One can only imagine that when they did make love, Miss Humphreys laid back and thought of the Bank of England. How else can you explain the love affair between the scarecrow Wood and this lovely theatre producer? And he has offered it to many women, all young enough to be his daughters, since he separated from his wife of 24 years, Jo.
Not that there is any shortage of much younger women keen to go to bed with these gnarled old codgers.
Milankovitch proposed that summer insolation at mid-latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere directly causes the ice-age climate cycles. This would imply that times of ice-sheet collapse should correspond to peaks in Northern Hemisphere June insolation. But the penultimate deglaciation has proved controversial because June insolation peaks kyr ago whereas several records of past climate suggest that change may have occurred up to 15 kyr earlier.
There is a clear signature of the penultimate deglaciation in marine oxygen-isotope records. But dating this event, which is significantly before the 14C age range, has not been possible. Here we date the penultimate deglaciation in a record from the Bahamas using a new U-Th isochron technique.

But as of this year, Facebook is now a fully-fledged contender in online dating, following the rollout of its namesake dating service. After its recent launch in the U. But more than most online activities we track, there is a clear bias in user numbers towards men. This ratio is reflected in most dating apps, though the more female-focused Bumble actually has women in the majority.
Location-based apps tend to get the limelight for online dating, not least because the average age of an online dater is 26 though this has been increasing gradually over time. Unsurprisingly, we often find younger users are fluent and comfortable with doing things on smartphones , while older users are more wedded to PCs.
For online dating, this trend generally holds water. As with much of the online landscape, dating is a multi-device activity. Understanding device habits is one way dating services can grow beyond typically young and urban singletons. But another is understanding the characteristics of daters within each age group. We can do this by analyzing online daters against our 65 attitudinal data points, getting a more rounded understanding of who they are and the dating apps that may represent them.
In each case, we can understand how online daters differ from their peers by looking at their top over-indexes.
What do men over 60 want? After all, for most of our lives, men were simple creatures. Now, as we reach our 50s and 60s, the situation is somewhat more complicated. To get a view into the male mind after 60, I sat down with dating coach, Lisa Copeland for a quick chat.

Teenagers in the 's are so iconic that, for some, they represent the last generation of innocence before it is "lost" in the sixties. When asked to imagine this lost group, images of bobbysoxers, letterman jackets, malt shops and sock hops come instantly to mind. Images like these are so classic, they, for a number of people, are "as American as apple pie. Because of these entertainment forums, these images will continue to be a pop cultural symbol of the 's.
After the second World War, teenagers became much more noticeable in America Bailey Their presence and existence became readily more apparent because they were granted more freedom than previous generations ever were.
By Anna Brown. Many single adults in the U.

RTB: The CDC and NIH are stirring the cauldron yet again: Black Box-labeled drugs are being dispensed to healthy gay men and heterosexual women – as long as they're African-American. What's a Black Box drug? One that has caused permanent or fatal injury in patients at normal prescribed doses. Why would a healthy person take such a drug?
Well, they've done it before, and even though it was a disaster, they'll do it again.
Why? Because you're not stopping them.
Because the AIDS establishment preys on Black women, and homosexual men through targeted testing with poly-reactive HIV tests that are used to convince young, un-informed testees that their lives and futures are now over, and that their only option is to submit to the control of a pharmaceutical mafia of "never wrong" experts.
"As to diseases, make a habit of two things-to help, or at least to do no harm." -Hippocrates, 5th Century B.C.E. Greek Physician, regarded as the father of medicine.
RTB says – "Ask the Experts – real letters from real patients to the 'experts' at the Body.com. What the Aids industry won't tell you about Aids drugs, these people are living it.
Why? Because: There's Gonna be no 'Aids Vaccine,' after all!
In a major setback, one of the leading experimental AIDS vaccines not only failed to prevent test subjects from becoming infected with HIV, but it didn't offer any indication it might delay the onset of full-blown AIDS, which had been a key hope.

Arsenal are in the driving seat to land in-demand defender Samuel Umtiti from Barcelona, according to a report.
The France international has been tipped to depart Camp Nou at the end of the season after losing his place in the side to Clement Lenglet.
Umtiti has struggled with injuries this season and Barca are believed to have eyed up Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt to partner Gerard Pique for the long term.
Arsenal and Premier League rivals Manchester United are among the sides said to have showed an interest in the 25-year-old.
Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb claims that Arsenal are the leading the way to sign Umtiti, though, with Roma also possibly set to miss out.
The report also indicates that Barcelona want the former ex-Lyon defender to sign a new contract to further increase his valuation.

Q: Android getFileDir vs getDir What is the basic difference between getDir and getFileDir in android?
AFAIK both will get the internal storage for the application.My question is when should I use getFileDir?
Thanks.

A: According to documentation here and here
public File getFilesDir ()

Returns absolute path of directory on the filesystem where files created with openFileOutput(String, int) are stored.
The returned path may change over time if the calling app is moved to an adopted storage device, so only relative paths should be persisted.
  No additional permissions are required for the calling app to read or write files under the returned path.

Where as
public File getDir (String name, int mode)

It takes name of the directory to retrieve. This is a directory that is created as part of your application data and operating mode(of type int). Use 0 or MODE_PRIVATE for the default operation, MODE_WORLD_READABLE and MODE_WORLD_WRITEABLE to control permissions.
Retrieve, creating if needed, a new directory in which the application can place its own custom data files.
You can use the returned File object to create and access files in this directory. Note that files created through a File object will only be accessible by your own application; you can only set the mode of the entire directory, not of individual files.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- | A 'Prism' @l@ is a 0-or-1 target 'Traversal' that can also be turned around with 'remit' to
-- obtain a 'Getter' in the opposite direction.
--
-- There are two laws that a 'Prism' should satisfy:
--
-- First, if I 'remit' or 'review' a value with a 'Prism' and then 'preview' or use ('^?'), I will get it back:
--
-- * @'preview' l ('review' l b) ≡ 'Just' b@
--
-- Second, if you can extract a value @a@ using a Prism @l@ from a value @s@, then the value @s@ is completely described my @l@ and @a@:
--
-- * If @'preview' l s ≡ 'Just' a@ then @'review' l a ≡ s@
--
-- These two laws imply that the 'Traversal' laws hold for every 'Prism' and that we 'traverse' at most 1 element:
--
-- @'Control.Lens.Fold.lengthOf' l x '<=' 1@
--
-- It may help to think of this as a 'Control.Lens.Iso.Iso' that can be partial in one direction.
--
-- Every 'Prism' is a valid 'Traversal'.
--
-- Every 'Control.Lens.Iso.Iso' is a valid 'Prism'.
--
-- For example, you might have a @'Prism'' 'Integer' Natural@ allows you to always
-- go from a 'Natural' to an 'Integer', and provide you with tools to check if an 'Integer' is
-- a 'Natural' and/or to edit one if it is.
--
--
-- @
-- 'nat' :: 'Prism'' 'Integer' 'Numeric.Natural.Natural'
-- 'nat' = 'prism' 'toInteger' '$' \\ i ->
--    if i '<' 0
--    then 'Left' i
--    else 'Right' ('fromInteger' i)
-- @
--
-- Now we can ask if an 'Integer' is a 'Natural'.
--
-- >>> 5^?nat
-- Just 5
--
-- >>> (-5)^?nat
-- Nothing
--
-- We can update the ones that are:
--
-- >>> (-3,4) & both.nat *~ 2
-- (-3,8)
--
-- And we can then convert from a 'Natural' to an 'Integer'.
--
-- >>> 5 ^. remit nat -- :: Natural
-- 5
--
-- Similarly we can use a 'Prism' to 'traverse' the left half of an 'Either':
--
-- >>> Left "hello" & _left %~ length
-- Left 5
--
-- or to construct an 'Either':
--
-- >>> 5^.remit _left
-- Left 5
--
-- such that if you query it with the 'Prism', you will get your original input back.
--
-- >>> 5^.remit _left ^? _left
-- Just 5
--
-- Another interesting way to think of a 'Prism' is as the categorical dual of a 'Lens'
-- -- a /co/-'Lens', so to speak. This is what permits the construction of 'outside'.

What's Up Wednesday? April 24th
Happy Hump Day Atlanta! Is everyone enjoying this fabulous weather or WHAT?! Tonight is going to be the perfect night to go out with some friends and catch some live music! We have a killer lineup tonight, so you definitely won't have a difficult time finding a show to go to! Now, it may be hard choosing between all these great venues and bands though! Check it out!
Born Ruffians @ The Earl
Born Ruffians from Toronto, Canada recently released their third album Birthmarks. These songs – Birthmarks – came out of a dusty living room in an old house, in between chopping wood and building bonfires, playing crokinole at the kitchen table, cooking family dinners and shooting beer cans with a bow and arrow.

ROCK COMEDY w/ Rodney Perry @ Hard Rock Cafe's Velvet Underground
Join us and celebrity host Rodney Perry for an evening of side splitting laughter. You'll never know who's going to grace the Velvet Underground stage. The last event did sell out. Don't miss it!
Steve Moakler @ Eddie's Attic
"You're sweet, like I can't deny," are the opening lyrics of Steve Moakler's first full-length album, All The Faint Lights. The same words can be spoken about the music that this Pittsburgh native has been making for the past five years. Having previously released two EPs, The Weight of Words (2007) and Like I Mean It (2008), Moakler has proved himself to be a master pop craftsman. His music is artistic, but accessible; indie roots with mass appeal. Listen to his music, and you too won't deny his gift for sweet melodies and moving narratives that stick in your head like happy memories.
The Parlotones @ Smith's Olde Bar
The Parlotones are known for their electric, polished stage performances delivered against the backdrop of their deftly crafted and darkly romantic lyrics. Their sound, described as alternative in their formative years has evolved substantially becoming more refined and focused with each album. It took the bands debut album 'Radiocontrolledrobot' two years to reach Gold status and their follow up 'A World Next Door To Yours' achieved this in three months. Three months later the album was certified Platinum. Testimony to just how much the band has grown over the past few years.' Check out our interview with the band opening for The Parlotones, Dinner and a Suit!
Sevendust @ The Tabernacle
Sevendust is an American alternative metal band from Atlanta, Georgia. Formed in 1994 by bassist Vince Hornsby, drummer Morgan Rose and guitarist John Connolly. After their first demo, lead vocalist Lajon Witherspoon and guitarist Clint Lowery joined the group. Following a few name changes, the members settled on the name Sevendust and released their self-titled debut album on April 15, 1997. Sevendust recently released their ninth studio album, Black Out the Sun.
The Ghosts Project @ The Drunken Unicorn
Formed in 2006, The Ghosts Project is comprised of Paul Mercer on violin and Davis Petterson on percussion. The band, which is located in Atlanta, features an ever changing lineup of special guest musicians from all over the country.
The M Machine @ The Masquerade
The M Machine is an electronic music trio hailing from San Francisco, CA. Formed in 2011 by Ben Swardlick, Eric Luttrell, and Andy Coenen, the group has quickly risen to prominence on the strength of their wholly original and forward-thinking sound. Transcending genre, the group effortlessly bounds between hard-hitting dance tracks and thoughtful, indie-styled vocal songs, tying it all together with a distinctly cinematic presentation.

We thank Yagnik  for his interest in our article." Ultrasonography (USG) has low sensitivity in the diagnosis of pancreatic duct ascariasis. This is based on our experience of 17 cases of pancreatic duct ascariasis in the last 11 years, which constitutes the largest single-centre experience in the world. Out of 17 cases, only 2 were diagnosed with USG. Although USG is quite sensitive for diagnosing pancreatobiliary ascariasis, its sensitivity significantly reduces when the worm is thin, in the pancreatic duct, or if the common bile duct is non-dilated. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is more sensitive for diagnosis of pancreatic duct ascariasis than other radiologic investigations. The probable reasons are excellent imaging of pancreas by EUS, use of high-frequency probes, and in and out movement of ascaris which might be missed by other investigations. There are no studies comparing magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) with EUS for pancreatic ascariasis in view of its rarity. In the study by Sandouk et al. there were only 8 cases of pancreatic ascariasis out of 300 cases of pancreatobiliary ascariasis which were all diagnosed by ERCP. EUS and MRCP were not performed in that study. In the largest study till date of 500 patients with hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease caused by A. lumbricoides infection, only seven had pancreatic ascariasis. EUS and MRCP were also not performed in that study. Considering all previous available data on pancreatic ascariasis and our own experience, we conclude that EUS is the investigation of choice for pancreatic ascariasis and should be considered after the first episode of idiopathic pancreatitis.

John Lydon Bucking For Discordian Sainthood?
"Sex Pistols singer Johnny Rotten backed Brexit and called former UKIP leader Nigel Farage "fantastic" in a TV interview Monday.
"The working class have spoken and I'm one of them and I'm with them," Rotten said on ITV's Good Morning Britain.
He said that after Farage's encounter with Bob Geldof before the Brexit vote — when the two led opposing flotillas along the Thames, shouting insults at each other — "I wanted to shake his hand because it was silly beyond belief."
The "Pretty Vacant" singer was also asked about U.S. President Donald Trump and said he was a "complicated fellow" but blamed the "left-wing media" for dubbing Trump racist.
"One journalist once said to me, 'is he the political Sex Pistol?' In a way," Rotten — real name John Lydon — said.
"There are many, many problems with him as a human being but he's not that [racist] and there just might be a chance something good will come out of that situation because he terrifies politicians."
He added: "This is a joy to behold for me. Dare I say, [Trump could be] a possible friend."
My first thought, of course, was IS HE FUCKING NUTS? But I slowly realized that he had a point. Trump is doing his utmost to leave a trail of CHAOS behind him everywhere he goes, more or less analogous to Richard Nixon's trail of MANURE. Whether he leaves the country's poor and underprivileged dead in the streets, or just turns everyone inside the borders against the U.S. gummint, while making us the laughingstock (or ICBM target) of the rest of the world, well, TRUMP WILL CONSIDER IT A JOB WELL DONE.
And it must be much easier to watch when you're John Lydon, and you can pack a bag any time you like and go home to England.
And notice how he praises silliness in the quote above. Isn't silliness at the very core of the Discordian vision quest? Yes. Yes, it is.
And John Lydon is the guy who sang "Anarchy In The U.K." He knows about this stuff.

This Week's Discordian Epiphany
This experience was a REAL standout that taught me a great deal about Erisian spirituality.
OK, last Friday morning I went to get my taxes done. My accountant was running quite a ways behind after a 3-day power outage, and so all she did during our meeting was take down my data and collect my paperwork. She'd get to filing it all in a few days, she said. OK, great.
So, from there I went straight to my P.O. box, and what did I find but an envelope from the IRS. They've never really come to terms with the fact that I stopped being self-employed well over 12 years ago, and I expected this to be another sheaf of estimated tax payment vouchers. But it was a letter saying "We can't process your tax return until we get a copy of your driver's license or Social Security card."
It had been mailed from Austin, Texas, 2 days before. So, shit. Somebody must have filed a phony return in my name. The letter gave me a long list of different types of ID I could use to prove that the return was kosher, and if it wasn't they advised me to go to the IRS website and print out forms so I could prove that I hadn't filed yet. They said I absolutely, positively had to call a certain number to present my ID in person to even discuss it, and gave me a number to call so I could make an appointment. I was told I would be on hold for about the next 45 minutes, but it finally dawned on me after untangling the text of the letter further -- this was no small job -- that I was waiting to get an appointment to go in and prove to them that the phony tax return was the real one. I hung up.
At some point I mentioned the situation to my supervisor, who asked to see the letter from the IRS. She pointed out that it was odd that my Social Security number wasn't listed on it, and that is odd, because they usually put that on everything, aT least the last few digits. She thought to type the return address from the letter into Google Maps, and it showed that the address was of a cemetery in Austin.
So I called my tax preparer for some guidance. Her receptionist, after some gasps of horror and a few "Gosh, I never heard of this happening before" type of comments, gave me 3 or 4 different numbers to call. I called the one that was given me with the comment "we've had better luck with this number than any of the others." That made it sound incredibly unlikely that any of the growing list of numbers would be able to help me, but I held my breath and dialed. I got through immediately and reached a very nice person named Nancy Jackson, who listened patiently while I sputtered out what had happened, and she gave me yet another number to call, the IRS Fraud Hotline. This was different from several other Fraud Hotline numbers given me by my tax preparer, Google and my boss. Nancy Jackson told me exactly which prompts to punch in so I would be able to talk to a live person. Thank Flod for Nancy -- I never, never would have found my way through that maze of choices without her. They all sounded practically identical.
So I talked to a guy at the Fraud Hotline who took my report and explained how it would all go down, in the heaviest, most undefinable accent -- I wish I could describe it -- sort of Serbo-Mexicali-Sino-Italian. He had no name, only a long employee ID number, and I wrote that down as fast as I could, but it was something like 18 digits and I wasn't given enough warning to let me reach for a pencil before he started on it, so I quit before he got to the end. It was impossible to keep up with him. I explained that a very doubtful-looking letter had arrived claiming that I'd already filed a tax return when I hadn't, and he looked it up and dang if it wasn't true. A return HAD been filed more than a month before, in fact, by...some asshole. The fraud guy filed some kind of report and said that from now on they would use a higher level of security with my taxes. (So they're not all highly secured? Is that what you're telling me, 11106DQ23900017?) He advised me to drop everything else I was doing and call the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration Office and tell them what was going on. So I pictured this Inspector General, of course:
He kept saying there was another number I needed to call too, and he looked for it a very long time -- I could hear him clicking through one webpage after another without finding anything -- and he finally said, eeeehhh, forget it, just call the Inspector General. That was reassuring.
I couldn't help wondering, as I recited my birthdate, Social Security number, blood type and DNA profile to this guy -- who had JUST told me that the IRS never asks ANYONE for that type of information -- I couldn't help wondering what was supposed to keep Fraud Guy from stealing my identity too. Maybe he was the original identity thief. How would I ever know if he was? Who would be in a better position to do it? He would be the Hercule Poirot in the situation: above suspicion. Just one reassuring thought after another, you know what I'm saying?
I dialed the number he'd given me, and got another maze of phone prompts, and this time I had no Nancy Jackson to guide me through. "If you've had your identity stolen and it affects your taxes, press 1. If it doesn't affect your taxes but you want to tell us about it anyway, press 2. If you've had your identity stolen and an incorrect 1040 Schedule C is part of the paperwork, press 9. If you have already filed a 10439 even though the fraud doesn't affect your taxes and you checked box #1 in the second section on the form, press 7. If you have no idea what a 10439 is but have been the target of a phishing scam and would like to file forms or would like to file a 20900-A by phone, press 6." On and on until I punched in a prompt, more or less blindly. I got a voicemail prompt; leave a message and we'll call you back.
So I left my cell number, thumbnailed the situation on the Inspector General's voicemail and hung up, morally certain that I was never going to get a call back. Somehow, I just knew it. And indeed it has not come to pass.
But I got curious about that Google Maps result from a couple of paragraphs above and typed in the letter's return address myself. I know that my supervisor is, well, not the best typist. I discovered that the cemetery is across the street from a genuine IRS center. At least the notice was starting to look kosher. So I printed out, filled out, and mailed a Form 10439 (which turned out to be a Fraud Affidavit) to an address I found online.
This form was a model of its kind, honestly. I could not be sure which boxes to check based on the instructions, but it clearly and carefully spelled out that I was NOT supposed to fax it to the fax number listed at the bottom; it specified that I was NOT supposed to present it in person at a Tax Assistance Office, after explaining in detail how to find one; and it clearly explained that I was supposed to mail it...without giving me an address.
I crap you negative. I studied it every time I had a free moment for 2 days, sure that I must have missed something. I hadn't.
Finally I tried Google again and it gave me a strikingly vague address in Fresno, hardly more than General Delivery, but it was more than I had before. I put 2 of those Harvey Milk memorial stamps on the envelope, just to be sure. He was murdered in California, so who knows, maybe his unquiet spirit will guide it to the right mail slot. He seemed like such a helpful guy.
Funny how the act of slipping that envelope into the mail made my blood pressure drop back to normal. It's these little symbolic acts that make the difference. Now all we can do is wait, I guess.
But here's my Discordian insight. All those numbers and websites I was searching are all geared to set things in ORDER
if you have been phished, or had your identity stolen, or some other event that most people would see as CHAOTIC,
...are just layers and layers of CHAOTIC bureaucracy painted on top of a well-meaning attempt to impose ORDER, and ultimately the layers of CHAOS they make the identity theft itself seem pretty ORDERLY by comparison.
I thought I knew before why there is so much talk of bureaucracy in the Principia Discordia and the other sacred texts, but now I get it, I really do. The more you try to impose ORDER on CHAOS, the more CHAOS you get. This was a revelation, the kind of stuff you learn while walking blindfolded through Chapel Perilous and simultaneously trying to fill out forms in dodecatuplet with the blood of a willow tree that floweth from a goose quill and shit.
Don't try this at home, kids!

Q: Substring a stringRaw from String1 to String2 If you didn't really get it what I actually want let me explain you better:
I have a:
stringRaw = ""

Now I have to do some kind of substring from string1 = "" and have to take what is in the middle of that which will be stringFinal = "http://www.b92.net/news/pics/2015/01/15/111348233854b817af5b4bc991063053_v4 big.jpg" in this case.
I can't use substring method since I never know how many characters can be in string1 and string2 also, seems like split method do not work as it should from THIS question on StackOverFlow.
edit For some reason my stringRaw has this value: vbCrLf & vbTab & vbTab & vbTab & "" & vbTab & vbTab
Anyway, I do what others advised and still I get an error that Index is out of range
Thank you for the answers in advance.

A: I believe this code should grab the 'stringFinal' you desire.
// Get the index of 'src="'
Int32 startIndex = stringRaw.IndexOf("src=\"");

// Get the substring starting at 'src="' and ending at the first '"' after 'src="'.
stringRaw.Substring(startIndex, stringRaw.IndexOf("\"", startIndex) - startIndex);

Oh, sorry just noticed the VB tag. This is C# so the sytnax might be slightly different, but the functions and parameters should still be the same.
I forgot the - startIndex I was thinking that SubString second parameter was an index instead of count. Try adding that adjustment.

A: I was having issues going after the same characters so I went after text within the string such as "http" and "title=". Here it is in VB:
    Dim startIndex As Int32 = stringRaw.IndexOf("http")
    Dim endIndex As Int32 = stringRaw.IndexOf("title=") - 2
    Return stringRaw.Substring(startIndex, endIndex - startIndex)

I used "http" and didn't include "://" just in case you need to get an "https" at some point. I used "title=" instead of "title" in case the word title ever showed up in the link.

A: You could also use a regular expression. Something like:
Dim stringRaw as String = vbCrLf & vbTab & vbTab & vbTab & "" & vbTab & vbTab
Dim regx as New Regex("src=\""(.*)\""\s+title")
Dim match as Match = regx.Match(stringRaw)

If match.Success
    ' Outputs http://www.b92.net/news/pics/2015/02/05/203819435354d39f17d74f0173575440_v4 big.jpg
    Console.WriteLine(match.Groups(1).Value)
End If

A: Public Function ExtractSrcAttribute(ByVal element As String) As String
    Dim startToken As String = "src="""
    Dim endToken As String = """"

    Dim startIndex As Integer = element.IndexOf(startToken) + startToken.Length
    Dim endIndex As Integer = element.IndexOf(endToken, startIndex)

    If startIndex > element.Length OrElse endIndex > element.Length OrElse endIndex < startIndex Then
        'error
    End If

    Return element.SubString(startIndex, endIndex)
End Function

A: As mentioned in my comment about you could use Regex to accomplish this easily. This uses a Positive-LookBehind and Positive-LookAhead. Please see below for example. This is tried and tested as well.
  Dim rgex As New Regex("((?<=src=\\"").*)(?=\\""\s+title=)")
  Dim mtch As Match = rgex.Match(TextBox1.Text)

  If mtch.Success Then
       MessageBox.Show(mtch.Groups(1).Value)
  End If


This project is a collaboration with post classical pianist Martin Kohlstedt. Design, programming and performance of generative stage visuals in a fulldome projection system.
Martin bases his live music on modular improvisation. Reeperbahn Festival Hamburg commissioned an audio-visual live music show with an immersive environment. It was set in a unique spatial setting in which the audience lay in chairs looking up at the ceiling. This offered an extraordinary balance between music and visuals and proved to be an excellent opportunity for experimentation.
I teamed up once more with Jeremias Volker, Maximilian Mittermeier and Dimitar Ruszev. We decided to go for real-time generative content to cater the pianists playing style and make this a no-cuts mesmerising experience. There were no strict arrangements between Martin and us. Together we wanted to have a conversation that breaks the usual pattern – where musicians take the lead in those collaborations, often with little attention to the visual part. The idea was to influence one another both ways.
We played four shows in a portable fulldome tent at the 2017 edition of the festival in Hamburg.

RSPCA awards Sarbi the Purple Cross
Sarbi the Explosive Detection Dog received RSPCA's most prestigious animal bravery award today, the Purple Cross, at a ceremony at the Australian War Memorial.
Sarbi was awarded the Purple Cross by The National President of RSPCA Australia, Mrs Lynne Bradshaw.
"It recognises the deeds of animals that have shown outstanding service to humans, particularly if they've shown exceptional courage," Mrs Bradshaw said.
"I think there's no doubt that Sarbi has shown an incredible resilience and strength that should be recognised."
Chief of Army, Lieutenant General Ken Gillespie AC, DSC, CSM, also attended the ceremony.
"I am very proud of the professional and dedicated work of our combat engineers and dog handlers, and the vital role they play in keeping our soldiers safe on deployment," said Lieutenant General Ken Gillespie.
"I am thrilled that the RSPCA has chosen to honour Sarbi, and by extension, all of Army's working dogs and their handlers with this award."
Sarbi went missing in Afghanistan in September 2008 following Coalition contact with Insurgents.
During the engagement, nine Australian soldiers, including Sarbi's handler, were wounded.
Sarbi was returned to Tarin Kot in October 2009, after being missing in action for 13 months.


BRISTOL, R.I. (January 11, 2017) – The Roger Williams University men's basketball team shot 51.7% from the field in the second half and outscored Western New England University 26-14 over the final 7:44 of regulation on its way to an 81-69 victory this evening in Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) action at the Campus Rec Center.
• Senior forward Daniel Silva (Seekonk, Mass.) led the Golden Bears with 17 points on 7-of-14 shooting from the field, including 3-of-6 from three-point range, to go with four rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes off the bench.
• Sophomore guard Mikey Pettway (Bridgeport, Conn.) was also among Western New England's four double figure scorers with 13 points, six rebounds and five assists.
• Graduate guard Luis Agrait (South Hadley, Mass.) and freshman forward Mike McCourt (Lincoln, R.I.) added ten points each.
• Sophomore guard Austin Coene (Tyngsborough, Mass.) fueled the Roger Williams offense with a game-high 27 points on 9-of-21 shooting from the field, 3-of-5 from beyond the arc and 6-of-8 from the charity stripe. Coene also recorded nine rebounds and three steals in his 39 minutes of action.
• Junior forward Conor O'Brien (Sharon, Mass.) posted the game's only double-double with 23 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block, while junior guard Nick Marini (Loudonville, N.Y.) chipped in with 14 points, six boards, five assists and four steals.
• Western New England got off to a strong start with Pettway, Agrait and Silva all connecting from beyond the arc early in the first half as the Golden Bears led 11-7 just under five minutes into the contest.
• A 9-0 run that freshman guard Mike McGuire (Garden City, N.Y.) capped with a jumper midway through the first half allowed Western New England to stretch its advantage to 11 (24-13).
• The Golden Bears led by as much as 14 (33-19) after Agrait knocked down a pair of free throws with 7:01 on the clock, but Roger Williams closed the gap to six (40-34) with a 15-7 run the rest of the way.
• Western New England led by the same margin (46-40) following a McCourt jumper 3:40 into the second half, before O'Brien and Marini spearheaded a 10-3 run that saw the Hawks take their first lead of the night (50-49) with 13:16 remaining.
• After a free throw by McGuire with 8:23 left knotted the score at 55-55, Coene hit a three-pointer that gave the Hawks the lead for good.

Alarm Detector Warns Of Excessive Wind Strength
The alarm can be freely configured

Wind can be measured in very different ways. The most well-known wind measuring device is the wind wheel, which each of us has experienced before. However, the wind wheel depends on the direction and must stand or be held exactly in the wind direction. The impeller anemometer or also known as the shell anemometer has been around since 1842. With this device the direction from which the wind comes is irrelevant.
A special model to measure the wind speed is the PCE-WSAC 50 from PCE Germany. The alarm has a voltage supply of 230, 12 or 24 V and two alarm relays, each with a changeover contact. The relay can be set individually when the alarm is triggered visually and acoustically. An alarm relay triggers the pre-alarm at a previously set value, the incoming wind speed.
The second alarm relay triggers the main alarm when the set value is reached. With the alarm, the alarm can be freely configured, which is why the measuring device can be used wherever there is work with wind or where there can be no wind. In addition, the alarm can be used to control or switch other devices: let the signal transmitter, window closing mechanisms or an antenna mast retract automatically if the wind is too strong. In addition, the anemometer has an RS485 interface for data communication.
Owners of smaller and larger yachts that are traveling for several days can be warned when the wind speeds are too high with the help of the warning device, when it becomes dangerous. In another location, where heavy objects such as containers have to be moved from A to B with a crane, the warning device can sound an alarm when the wind is too strong, since this can even put people's lives at risk. The warning detector can be installed stationary wherever a continuous control of the wind speed is necessary.
ZVEI Reports Increased Sales, But Warns Of A Shortage Of Skilled Workers
The ZVEI expects an increase in production for the electrical industry of 3 percent for the coming year. The enormous increase in sales of the past year was also gratifying - but the association warns of the consequences of the shortage of skilled workers

This taster workshop is designed as great introduction to pottery. During this workshop you will explore how to create your own small scale animals from the pinching technique. You can choose which animal to make and Charlotte has a number of images to work from. Alternatively, you can bring your own images but check with Charlotte whether your chosen animal is acheivable in the time allowed and sutable for the technique.
You will have the oppertuntiy to add some colour to your mini sculptures and Charlotte will add a gloss glaze after the first firing. Your creations will be available for collection in around 2 weeks (tbc) or they can be posted out for an extra charge.
The workshop will take place in my fully equipped studio in Westbourne where I design and make my own ceramic sculpture and tableware. I have been teaching for around 15 years and have a degree in ceramics as well as PGCE in Post compulsory education.

Technical Direction
Scenic Design
We will be recruiting for the MFA program in Technical Direction in the spring of 2023 for admittance in the fall of 2023.
The MFA program in Technical Direction is intended to prepare students for fulfilling careers in professional or educational theatre and the entertainment industry.
Emphasis is on the development of a process that will serve students in the practice of their art through a long and varied career. This is accomplished through a balanced training program of classes, work on realized productions, and individualized tutorials.
A limited number of students are selected each year on the basis of resumes, interviews, and portfolio reviews. A visit to Purdue is recommended, to allow the potential student to interact with students and the faculty.
The program is rigorous, time-demanding, and intense. Based on the principle that a good technical director is well educated in many areas, Technical Direction students take courses in scenic technology, structural design and analysis, computer-aided drafting, entertainment control systems, audio, electronics, and leadership. The mastery of these subjects will provide a strong foundation upon which to build.
Skills training is an important component of the Purdue program. Coursework is intended to provide a solid basis for the student's professional work in the theatre or a related field.
Upon completion of graduate study, the student should have the ability to communicate verbally, in writing, and through technical drawings. Students should have an understanding of the principles of design, demonstrated ability in related technical areas, an understanding of the work of the director and designers, and an ability to collaborate with others through the production process.
During residency, the graduate technical direction student works on a variety of productions, and in a variety of spaces, ranging from a flexible black box to thrust and proscenium spaces.
Projects range from class exercises to one-acts, student-directed projects, dance, and mainstage productions. Each subsequent project has a greater support system of technical assistance and an increasing budget. A minimum of one production assignment (TD, Asst. TD, Special projects) is required each semester. The culmination of the program is a Terminal Project or Thesis Paper.
In order to strengthen the relationship between design and technology, those MFA students awarded an assistantship with the Theatre Department work in the technical shop related to the area of study.
Given the professional focus of the program and the credentials of the faculty, attention in the classroom and in the shop is devoted to the practice of professional theatre. Areas of concern are procedures, techniques, personnel, and opportunities, especially in relation to regional theatres and allied entertainment fields.
MFA in Technical Direction Plan of Study
The MFA requires a 60 credit hour minimum for completion. Students, however, may need to complete a course of study in excess of 60 hours in some cases.
The MFA program at Purdue subscribes to the idea that a strong production design best rests on a foundation of technical knowledge in several areas (carpentry, electrical, mechanics, and physics) and that the study of stage technology is enriched by an understanding of design principles..
Stage Technology classes focus on developing the skills to budget, create a technical design, and efficiently bring a production through each phase--design budget, build, board-in, technical rehearsals, opening, and strike. Particular attention is paid to the production staff relationship during the production process. Technical skills are developed in various classes.
The applicant is required to interview with a Purdue representative and submit the following materials when applying to the MFA Technical Direction program:
Theatrical resume
Transcript(s) from all schools attended
Statement of goals for undertaking the study of Technical Direction
Three letters of recommendation
The Graduate School application fee is $60 (U.S. dollars) for domestic applicants and $75 (U.S. dollars) for international applicants. You must pay your application fee online with your credit card. Visa and MasterCard cards are accepted and processed using a secured online payment system. Your application will not be processed until your nonrefundable application fee has been paid.
Interviews are held at all University Resident Theatre Association sites or can be arranged on the Purdue campus. Those wishing to be interviewed at URTA sites are encouraged to contact Purdue by mail to assure an interview with a Purdue representative.

Saturday Night at the Movies with Andrew Collins, Saturday 18 April 2015 5pm
Andrew Collins enjoys the magic of the world's greatest animated films.
Tonight in Classic FM's weekly celebration of movie music, Andrew Collins turns his attention to the wonderful world of animation.
Disney's animated films have always had a stunning track record of creating brilliant soundtracks for their movies - from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves in 1938, through The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King - but no one expected the extraordinary success of Frozen. The film's soundtrack features 10 original songs composed by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez - including the Oscar-winning 'Let it Go' - and 22 score pieces by Christophe Beck. It has so far sold 4 million copies in the U.S. alone. We'll be hearing tracks from Frozen tonight as well as plenty of other family favourites to enjoy, including music from Disney-Pixar favourites, Up and Wall-E.
