WELCOME TO the first section of PART 5: – THE BINARY & THE HOLISTIC SELF!
This final part is slightly longer but there will be a pause in the middle to call in your full holistic self.
In the first section of PART FIVE of the gender series we open our eyes to the bigger reasons why. Why is the truth of queer/trans/intersex people and experience suppressed in so many areas? Nature? Across global cultures? Indigenous North America? Early US history, and so much more? Digging deep to understand the core development of Western culture helps us see how all of these areas are connected.
We begin by reviewing the cultural shift from matrifocal to patrilineal and how this has profoundly affected our current culture and created a false binary. We then look at how calling in our full holistic selves is a powerful antidote to the binary and the patriarchy and its effects. All this prepares us for the second section where we begin shifting our current perspectives to create a new, true world that includes queer/trans/intersex fabulousness, embrace holistic perspectives of gender and learn about The Gender Wheel.
WHY A WORLD OF FALSEHOODS?
As we review the last 4 parts from this series, a new world begins to form in our imaginations: a queer/trans/intersex INCLUSIVE world reflected in nature, global cultures, indigenous America, even early US history. This includes 3, 4 and more genders with multiple sexual identities and family formations. Perspectives that are fluid and inclusive to accommodate the breadth of nature have always existed, throughout the world, including North America. Perspectives like these are often associated with matrilineal or matrifocal, communal or nature/land based communities, common among many indigenous cultures. These communities once existed across the entire world. They certainly existed in large parts of Europe and the Americas pre-colonization.
In fact, today the patriarchy can seem so firmly embedded in reality that it appears as TRUTH, as if it is THE WAY THINGS ARE, even if it means that upon closer examination, there is a universal lie going on.
All this changed with the introduction of patrilineal and patriarchal systems. The shift toward patriarchy began a very long time ago and evolved as it spread over time. Although some matrifocal societies still exist today, the patriarchy of Western culture continues to dominate experience and thinking throughout the majority of the world and public sphere. In fact, today the patriarchy can seem so firmly embedded in reality that it appears as TRUTH, as if it is THE WAY THINGS ARE, even if it means that upon closer examination, there is a universal lie going on.
Why would a shift away from a matrilineal, communal, nature/land based perspective entail such a drastic measure as to recreate reality into a false one? One that denies the reality of what is and always has been?
Power and economics.
It took a very long time for the patriarchy to develop and there were numerous contributing factors along the way, but many significant philosophers and researchers believe it was rooted in war, violence, conquest and the domination of land and women as property. Like queer scholarship, study focusing on women in more and more truthfull ways is growing exponentially and providing greater understanding to our current culture. Here is a significant example of the shifting landscape long ago.
"As class divisions deepened in ancient Roman society, the sexes were assigned an increasingly unequal status. Once property-owning males ascended to a superior social position, those categories could not be bridged or blurred without threatening those who owned and controlled the new wealth. Ownership of property and its inheritance, paternity, legitimacy, and titles became vital legal questions for the new ruling elite. The heterosexual family, headed by the father, became a state dictate because it was the economic vehicle that ensured wealth would be passed on to sons.
Everyone who was not born a male heir to property bore the wrath of the new social system. Just as the status of women was degraded, so was everything that was 'not male'—transgender, gender-bending, sex-change, and intersexuality. A woman could not become a man, any more than a slave could become a ruling patrician. Males who were viewed as 'womanly' were an affront to the men in power."
– Leslie Feinberg, Transgender Warriors
This system evolved and firmed itself over centuries as it spread far and wide.
"The very fact that… rulers were still trying to ban any form of trans expression demonstrates deep beliefs still persisted from communalism. But the repressive laws aimed at further oppressing trans people, gay and lesbian love, and women formed part of the Corpus juris civilis—Roman body of law that was later used as the foundation for religious and secular law in Europe, England, and the United States."
Indigenous European culture was decimated by the Romans and later by their law. Eventually, colonized Europeans went on to spread patriarchy across the globe through colonizing other indigenous communities. In order to maintain power and control, they used the same systems that had been effective in controlling them by manipulating ideas about women, nature, gender, sexuality and indigeneity.
Looking at the indigenous Americas and the European colonizers' actions within this context makes it clear why our community was specifically targeted. It is documented that queer/trans/intersex people often held positions of more power on multiple levels in their communities, had greater resources, be it economic, spiritual, social, healing, etc… Third and fourth gender people, or what is currently called Two Spirit by indigenous, Native American people were consulted and valued. They greatly impacted their communities. Targeting queer/trans/intersex people is integral to patriarchy, to Western culture and to colonizing.
You can learn more about the patriarchy's early development here.
Still queer/trans/intersex people persisted.
MAKING SENSE OUT OF MADNESS
With many centuries in the making, combined with system upon system created to firm and confirm Westernization across the globe, it can be challenging to step away from Western thinking and its patriarchal perspectives. That's why uncovering and calling OUT the truth is so important. It has a way of clearing the path of false debris and clearing the mind and heart to feel more free.
Remember the queer/trans/intersex truth about nature—documented in over 1500+ animals so far
and global, multicultural awareness—to varying degrees, legal third gender already in Austria, Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Germany, India, Malta, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States-Oregon, California, DC
and indigenous history in North America—2 Spirits documented in over 150 tribes in United States
and early US history—countless records of queer/trans/intersex ancestors including the possible queering of 3 US presidents.
This larger, more complete perspective of reality brings into view the truth. Queer/trans/intersex people and experience are everywhere, all the time because we are a part of nature. It is toward this direction that we now turn.
Through the series we've looked at the world from:
the most basic: nature,
to the next biggest: global cultures,
then closer to home: indigenous North America,
and focusing in: early US history.
We are already beginning to create a holistic perspective of gender.
Each area of learning nested within the last. It goes without saying that each area is a brief introduction meant to hint at larger realities that warrant further study. This establishes a pattern of learning and awareness that is expansive and connected. Learning like this and drawing our awareness to it are ways that we can begin understanding how Western thinking has affected us and how we can gain perspective on it.
The patriarchy is by its very nature and necessity, predicated on division and not just any kind of division, but binary division in particular.
"Binary opposition is the system by which, in language and thought, two theoretical opposites are strictly defined and set off against one another. It is the contrast between two mutually exclusive terms, such as on and off, up and down, left and right. Binary opposition is an important concept of structuralism, which sees such distinctions as fundamental to all language and thought. In structuralism, a binary opposition is seen as a fundamental organizer of human philosophy, culture, and language."
"Typically, one of the two opposites assumes a role of dominance over the other. The categorization of binary oppositions is "often value-laden and ethnocentric", with an illusory order and superficial meaning. Furthermore, Pieter Fourie discovered that binary oppositions have a deeper or second level of binaries that help to reinforce meaning. As an example, the concepts hero and villain involve secondary binaries: good/bad, handsome/ugly, liked/disliked, and so on."
When we place the cultural shift into perspective
From matrilineal to patrilineal,
From communal to individualistic,
From indigenous to Western,
we can see a pattern of power-over and can imagine the imperative for binary thinking to develop and become firmed. Eventually this extends into every area of experience, through its relation to gender and sexuality, as well as race and ethnicity. This is the foundation of Western thinking. Individualistic. Patrilineal. Eurocentric. Dominating. And it's deep.
Being able to see through Western culture and fully see through patriarchy must by necessity happen in steps. It is an evolving process or maybe an un-processing, as we become raw and natural again, healed from the effects of a system designed specifically to oppress queer/trans/intersex people, nature, indigenous people and women. It may be for sanity's sake that it comes in steps. As one belief falls, it makes room for another to fall and another. Once the large lies are exposed, all the small lies unravel leaving everything exposed for what it is.
It's not about one huge change, but a series of steps, a daily practice even, because what we need to change is quite literally how we think, because now, the patriarchy lives within.
Once the larger truths are told, all the small ones fall into place and reorganize. Everything. Truth this extensive and far reaching instigates a progressive and profound shift, but how do we begin and where?
Every step counts in a dance like this. It's not about one huge change, but a series of steps, a daily practice even, because what we need to change is quite literally how we think, because now, the patriarchy lives within.
What helps with something like this? What makes sense out of madness? One of the most powerful antidotes to Western culture and the patriarchy and the impact it's had on our thinking is a holistic perspective. This begins to change everything. Fundamentally. While giving you something to hold onto. Truth. Nature. Your whole self.

AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of Prudential Financial, Inc. and Its Life/Health Subsidiaries
December 20, 2022 by AM Best
December 15, 2022 11:12 AM Eastern Standard Time
OLDWICK, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of A+ (Superior) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings (Long-Term ICR) of "aa-" (Superior) of the life/health insurance subsidiaries of Prudential Financial, Inc. (PFI) (Newark, NJ) [NYSE: PRU], referred to as Prudential. Concurrently, AM Best has affirmed the Long-Term ICR of "a-" (Excellent) of PFI and all Long- and Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings (Long-Term IR; Short-Term IR) of the group. The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. (Please see link below for a detailed listing of the companies and ratings.)
The ratings reflect Prudential's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, very favorable business profile and very strong enterprise risk management.
Prudential's very favorable business profile is rooted in its vast and diversified product offerings for life, annuities and asset management services. The pension risk transfer business has also changed its risk profile over the past decade and the large deals and successful practice has positioned Prudential to be among the top market participants. The most recent transaction, in partnership with one of its largest competitors in this space, illustrates the value Prudential has in pension risk management and as an administrator. Additionally, Prudential has invested in technology to support new and expanding sales and administration capabilities to support its already large and expansive captive field sales forces. This has been especially important to maintain competitiveness in the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, when face-to-face selling has been challenging in the U.S. and Japan markets.
AM Best has a favorable view of Prudential's long-term operating profile, but notes that near-term assumption updates and higher COVID-19-related claims due to interim regulatory requirements in Japan have pressured earnings for the year. From a balance sheet perspective, this does place pressure on the quality of capital given the earnings trend has been somewhat volatile outside of the domestic life and health market. Claims trends in Japan are primarily driven by lingering effects of COVID-19 and policy effects. However, these offsets may be temporary. In addition, Prudential's balance sheet strength is foundationally driven by its investment portfolio and strategic allocations to higher performing, high quality assets with lower exposure to low quality structured securities. AM Best has observed adequate liquidity metrics and favorable financial flexibility options through its access to the capital markets and avenues such as the Federal Home Loan Bank membership.
A complete listing of Prudential Financial, Inc.'s FSRs, Long-Term ICRs and Long- and Short-Term IRs also is available.
This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best's website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see AM Best's Recent Rating Activity web page.

Abstract: The article is talking about terror and specially its catastrophic effects on economy and financing process across the globe. Here in the article is given examples of different countries where one may see rise of terror every passing day. With statistical data and proven disadvantages, the article is by and large touching upon post terror effects on economy and how its effects extend throughout time.
When we are talking about terrorism, we may not deny the fact that this terror has had tremendous impact on economic factors across the globe. For example in 2014 alone the cost of terrorism was 52.9 billion USD in 2014. (1, 2014) As seen today throughout the world terror impacts every part of our lives be it social side, or economic side. For example as the result of terror acts perpetrated in Turkey tourism sector has got blown up and more and more people are reluctant to set a foot in this country which will results tourism industry backdrop in this country decreasing money flow entering. With just terror people tend not choose the destinations for their vacations, because as a human being we always seek security and safety for our own selves. For instance Sharm-Al Sheikh, one of the famous tourist destinations in the world got degraded if just it can be called as the result of jet crash in October 2015 which later has been confirmed to be a terror act. (2, 2016) So just looking at figures in tourism is enough to get the idea that how badly affected the result can be.
The total cost of terror acts perpetuated in 2014 was 52.9 billion USD in 2014 which is the highest since 2001 in accords with new 2015 Global Terrorism Index. In the Index if we look at the figures on different years we may come to conclusion that the highest point in terrorism cost reached in 2014 even surpassing the impact felt in 2001 as the result of so-called 11/9 attacks. This shows 10-fold increase on the figure in 2000 and a rise of twenty billion USD on the previous year. As a point of comparison we can tell that the losses faced from violent crime or other terror-related incidents reached 1.7 trillion USD which is catastrophically high number ever noted down.
The report (to be published in the article) says that in 93 countries 32,658 people lost their lives to 13,370 attacks. From 2000 there have been over 61,000 terrorist attacks killing more than 140,000 people. There are nine times more people killed in terror attacks in 2014 in comparison with 2000. We can easily see rise of terrorism since 2000. Again, when we say rise of terrorism we should begin with Iraq, where it the "birth place" (if just it can be called) of terrorism hovering across the globe now.
As talked above, there is inevitable economic impact of terror across the globe. Now we will delve into some countries and their experience regarding the impact affected from terror acts perpetrated so far. When we think about terror we should not just think about terror physically destroying the nations, terror acts within the country, but also economic terrorism. In economic terrorism you might not see any visible destruction at first hand. Economic terrorism is deeply entrenched in the spirits of some countries in the world. One of the countries so deeply impacted by terror is Pakistan.
ISIL, IS- Islamic State or Daesh, these names are familiar to us, they are different names of terrorist organization which has rampaged the world so far killing massacred many people across the globe. All these had very negative impact on world economy or at least economy of the country where terror act has been perpetuated. We can give some examples of terror acts perpetuated by ISIL.
This explosion had its physical affect on country, we cannot deny it, but it will surely have long-term financial impact within the country. When the name Afghanistan comes to our mind we may not anyway talk about decent economy, economic structure, normal life style as the result of terror acts. So the terror is something that has its immediate negative impact on the country, but after years to come people see its negative impact in their daily lives. Some incidents in the world are not terror acts, but they are those usually claimed to have been inspired by terror acts perpetuated in the world or terror organizations. These incidents also have negative affects on world economy and financial stability. We can give example of German so-called machete attack, when a knife-wielding teenager went for spree killing in the street.
And yet another attack in France, where two assailants attacked church in Suburban area Rouen in northern France killing a priest reportedly slitting his neck beheading him, although not much has been confirmed yet. (9, 2016) This is again a terror, where there is extensively visible link to IS. All these things, terror acts which just happened within a week will have completely negative impact upon economics.
It is not France that will suffer. The ability of Islamic State to strike indiscriminately and at will, means that consumers across Europe could pull in their horns. Anecdotal evidence suggests that British shoppers remained home over the weekend, unnerved by reports that additional security personnel had been assigned to patrol shopping areas in London's busy West End and in popular shopping malls. (10, 2016). It once more shows that these kinds of attacks spiraling in France, Germany and the fact that the number of incidents of this kind increases every passing day, we can easily come to the point that people are not only afraid of others but even afraid to set a foot outside fearing that they will or may be the next victim. As the result fewer people will be outside, and it means fewer consumers will consume outside which will definitely result with negative impact on economics and financial backbone of the country.
To recap the ideas mentioned above we can come to conclusion that terror can be considered as a two-edged sword, one edge has short-term negative effects on daily social lives of people such as destruction of properties, lives and so forth while other edge can be resembled as the one to long-term negative impact such as economic or financial effects.
This is just the result of events in Brussels and Paris. But we should not forget about almost daily terror acts which fray nerves of people as the result of which people's psyche gets degraded which in turn has completely negative effect on society and economics. And when the economics collapses then the country really gets degraded and no hopes remain for the people to live. Because when people cannot bring bread to their homes which they used to do in the past, at that time they get depressed. This is long-term negative consequence of terrorism. Surely we are automatically afraid of immediate impact of terror, but in true sense of the word it is long-term economic impact that we should be afraid of. World leaders should now be more focused on how to stop would-be terror acts, how to root out terror cells not just by tightening security measures within their countries and internationally, but they should make it in the spirit, mindset of people. Because it has always been proven that terrorism can not be eliminated, unless you adjust people's brains accordingly, countries thoroughly check people crossing their border lines, specially those of Syrian and other war-wrecked country decent given the facts that most of terror acts have been perpetrated by people of the same decent or those seeking asylum in Europe.

How to Save at OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE?
As mentioned earlier on this page, Outback Steakhouse has one of the most lucrative reward programs in the country's casual dining space. Without further ado, let's get into the program. It is referred to as Dine Rewards.
To register, you only need to be an adult and to have an email address. No need to pay a single cent.
There are four participating restaurants in the program and they all owned by the same holding company known as Bloomin Brands. The participating restaurants are Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming's.
The deal with this program is simple – purchase food and/ or non-alcoholic drinks worth at least $20 at any of the four restaurants. Each meal purchase worth at least $20 will be scored as one visit in your Dine Rewards account. Do this two more times to make up a total of three visits and you will be rewarded with a 50% discount on your next visit. Sounds good, right? However, before you get overexcited, you should note that the 50% discount is limited to a maximum of $20 for Outback Steakhouse and the other restaurants except Fleming's. Moreover, you should make the three qualified visits within 6 months to be eligible for the bonus; this is a lot of time to visit any of the four restaurants thrice. This is why it is regarded as one of the best reward programs around.
Apart from the Dine Rewards program, there is another a page marked 'offers' on the Outback website. The page has the latest specials, offers, and promotions from the steakhouse. Visit it before you order food on the website for coupon codes and promotion codes, and for ideas on the best-discounted meals to buy. As at the time we were publishing this page, there was a promotion that gave customers one movie ticket for purchasing e-gift cards worth at least $50. So you get to have a good dinner and to watch a free movie; a very nice offer indeed.
OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE Review
This steakhouse was founded by four friends who had a dream to set up a restaurant of their own. And they didn't just want to own any restaurant, they wanted to make theirs a special one, and to distinguish it from others. They wanted a restaurant that was casual and fun and served the best food in the best way. They chose and the Australian outback theme and that's how the restaurant was born in 1988. At first, the restaurant was not attracting many customers. However, through innovative marketing and promotions, the friends were able to start attracting customers.
It took them a number of years but the partners have been able to grow their restaurant into a reputable multi-billion dollar business. They now make a profit of over $100 million and serve millions of customers monthly.
The fact that customers have to make reservations to get into some of their restaurants shows that the steaks they serve are really great.
Apart from their lip-smacking steaks, Outback Steakhouse's Dine Rewards program is another good reason to dine with them. The program offers a 50% discount on every fourth visit.
About Outback Steakhouse
Tired of having to get into the waitlist every time you want to taste the best sirloin steak or grilled ribs? Well, you can now order your favorite steak online on Outback Steakhouse's website! Now that we got your attention, here are some interesting facts about Outback Steakhouse.
The steakhouse was set up in 1988 by four friends–Chris Sullivan, Bob Basham, Tim Gannon, and Trudy Cooper–who were all veteran restaurateurs. They wanted to set up and own a restaurant with a fun and casual dining atmosphere as well as extremely good quality food and an impeccable customer service. This is how Outback Steakhouse was born. They gave it the Australian name and theme because of a popular movie back then that portrayed Ozzies as fun and carefree guys.
Led by Chris Sullivan, the four partners were able to build the restaurant from scratch to over 1,000 locations as of now. The restaurant has a presence in major cities across the United States. It also has a presence in Canada, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and China.
The Australian theme is very prominent throughout the restaurant. The design, the decorations, and the food names feature the Ozzie theme. However, the cuisine is distinctively American. So you've got nothing to worry about when visiting an Outback Steakhouse as most menu items will be somewhat familiar; and not exotic dishes from the Australian outback.
Before we get to the menu, here is a fact about the steakhouse that you may not know about; the restaurant was not successful at first. This is hard to believe considering the kind of success it has now and the fact that some of its restaurants have waitlists but it is true. At first, people did not understand the theme and did not know what to expect. The owners had to be innovative to start attracting customers. At one point, they had their staff parking at the front to create the impression that the restaurant was ever busy. They also did a lot of promotions. Eventually, their efforts paid off and people started trickling in for meals. The company now makes over $4 billion in revenue and about $100 million in profit.
The restaurant's menu is as exciting as its history and the success it has had. As mentioned, the theme is Aussie but the cuisine is primarily American. One of the founders had extensive experience working as a chef in New Orleans and it is somehow easy to tell the influences of the Louisianan city on the restaurant's signature dishes including the Bloomin Onion. The menu is made up of specials, Australian-themed party platters, entrees, sides and signature steaks including Melbourne Porterhouse, Victoria's Filet Mignon, and the delish Bone-in Natural Cut Ribeye. Most of the steaks are well-seasoned and specially prepared to take you on an adventurous culinary experience that you will certainly love and enjoy. For example, the Bone-in Natural Cut Ribeye is extra marbled for optimum tenderness and wood-fire grilled for great taste. Most of the restaurant's locations also have a bar that carries Australian beers such as Foster's Lager and Coopers Premium Lager in addition to local beers.
In terms of promotions, Outback Steakhouse has one of the most amazing reward programs. The program, which we will explain a bit later, provides amazing benefits for those who enroll. There are several other promotions and specials that you can also enjoy at this steakhouse.
OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE Free Shipping Policy
There is no free shipping policy at Outback Steakhouse. You will have to get your tender, juicy steak from one of their restaurants. Unfortunately, this may mean being put into a waitlist. However, as we begun this article, we had announced that you can, in fact, buy meals online from the restaurant's website. You simply need to visit their official website, choose the meal you want plus the side items and then indicate when you will pick it up at your nearest restaurant. You will then simply visit them and pick up your meal at the agreed time. Moreover, they do deliveries to a few select locations. However, you have to call a specific Outback Steakhouse to ask if they can deliver to your location.
OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE Return Policy
Outback Steakhouse seemingly has no return policy. To be sure if this is the case, you may need to contact your local Outback Steakhouse. However, it is pretty standard for restaurants not to have return policies.

Q: Handling parameterised routes in express-jwt using unless Given the following route:
router.get('/api/members/confirm/:id, function (req, res, next)

how do I specify the route to be excluded? I have tried:
app.use('/api', expressJwt({ secret: config.secret}).unless({path: ['/api/members/confirm']}));

and
app.use('/api', expressJwt({ secret: config.secret}).unless({path: ['/api/members/confirm/:id']}));

but neither path in the unless array seem to work?

A: The express-jwt module is using express-unless to give you this unless method, which doesn't accept express' :param path arguments syntax.
But it does accept a regex, so you could do this:
app.use('/api', expressJwt({ secret: config.secret}).unless({path: [/^\/api\/members\/confirm\/.*/]}));

If you don't like that, you can also give unless a function:
var myFilter = function(req) {return true;}
app.use('/api', expressJwt({ secret: config.secret}).unless(myFilter));

A: You must be using regex to achieve what you are looking for, and you can also add in another field to specify what methods are allowed like so:
expressJwt({ secret, isRevoked }).unless({
    path: [
        { url: /^\/api\/members\/confirm\/.*/, methods: ['GET', 'PUT'] }
    ]
})

Q: How to calculate how many days until someone will turn 18 using their date of birth in VB? For a computer science assignment I need to calculate how many days it will be until the user turns 18, using their date of birth.
Dim dateToday As Date = Date.Today()

Dim ageNow As Integer = dateToday.Subtract(birthDate).Days

' 6750 is 365 * 18
Dim daysEighteen As Integer = 6750 - ageNow

MsgBox("You will be 18 in " & daysEighteen)

This is the code I have at the moment, however when tested it doesn't come up with the correct output.
This isn't the entire code but I have just included the necessary lines for this part of the program.
Thanks in advance.

A: I would use a different method. Add 18 years to the birthdate and then subtract the today date. This should avoid the error implicit in your calculation (365*18 doesn't count the leap years)
Dim birthDate = New DateTime(1999,1,1)
Dim adultDate = birthDate.AddYears(18)
Console.WriteLine(adultDate.ToString("MM/dd/yyyy"))
Dim daysLeft = adultDate.Subtract(DateTime.Today).Days
Console.WriteLine(daysLeft)

A: This is the finished program, with commenting.
Public Class Form

Private Sub btnEnter_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEnter.Click

    ' Stores the textboxes as variables
    Dim name As String = txtName.Text
    Dim birthDate As Date = dtpBirthDate.Text
    Dim electionDate As Date = dtpElectionDate.Text

    ' This is the age the user will be on the date of the election
    Dim ageElection As Integer = electionDate.Subtract(birthDate).Days

    ' If the user is 18 or older, it outputs that they are. If they're not, it calculates how many days
    ' it will be until they are and displays it.
    If (ageElection / 365) > 18 Then

        ' Outputs that the user is 18 or older
        MsgBox("You are 18 or older!")

    Else

        ' This is when the user will turn 18
        Dim adultDate As Date = birthDate.AddYears(18)

        ' This calculates how many days it will be until the user is 18, using when they turn 18
        Dim daysLeft = adultDate.Subtract(DateTime.Today).Days

        ' Outputs that the user is younger than 18 and outputs how many days until they're 18
        MsgBox("You are younger than 18! You will be 18 in " & daysLeft)

    End If

Q: C# how to append a string.join and not to append the very last string Basically i'm using a string.join like below.
string Combinestr = string.Join("", newListing+"\n"+"Total Found");

however, i do not want to append the very last line in newListing.  newListing is a HashSet, is this the case where I need to do a trimend after i've joined all the strings?  If so, how would I do a trimend for the entire string "\nTotal Found"?

A: You want that string to appear between the items in your HashSet.
That's what the first parameter is for:
string Combinestr = string.Join("\nTotal Found", newListing);

A: Firstly your string.Join is pointless. You are already joining the string by using the + operator. You should have it like this...
string Combinestr = string.Join("", newListing, "\n", "Total Found");

However, I would personally just do....
string Conbinestr = newListing.ToString() + "\nTotal Found";

and be done with it.
If you don't want the last item in a has set then I would loop the hash set and use a string builder...
System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
foreach(var hash in newListing.Take(newListing.Count - 1)){
   sb.Append(hash.ToString());
}
sb.Append("\nTotal Found");

string Conbinestr = sb.ToString();

...overall thou, something doesn't seem quite right about what you are trying to do

A: Actually I go in reverse and put the '\n' in front usually.  In that case, you just need to make sure the first item doesn't get it appended:
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(newListing))
{
  newListing += "\n";
}

newListing += "Total Found";

A: Alternative to @SLaks solution:
int lastIndex = Combinestr.LastIndexOf("\n");

if (lastIndex > -1)
{
    Combinestr = Combinestr.Substring(0, lastIndex);
}
