Six Ways to Re-prioritize Your Finances This Fall – Inspiring Life Over 50!
Let's face it – summer can be expensive between vacations, home improvements, the cost of children's camps and dining out. Now that the calendar has flipped to fall, you may want to take this opportunity to check in on your financial well-being and ensure you're on track for the remainder of the year. Here are some tips to help you along the way.
Refocus on your goals. Assess your finances to see if you may have strayed from your financial goals (which hopefully you set back in January). If you're far behind the targets you've set, review your spending habits and try to identify which choices and activities have contributed to this. There's still time to get back on track.
Monitor your credit. Get back in the habit of checking your accounts frequently. Doing so can help you keep an eye on recent purchases and may help detect and prevent fraud. Make sure to monitor your credit score, too. You can request a free credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus at least once per calendar year. Review each report for accuracy and signs of identity theft.
Consider refinancing options. If your mortgage is not at a competitive rate, now may be a good time to refinance before rates go higher. Lowering your interest rate by even a quarter of a percent can potentially add up to thousands of dollars in savings over the life of a loan.
Be strategic with your health and flexible spending accounts. If you have funds in an employer-sponsored flexible savings account (FSA), remember that the money expires at the end of the year. (The IRS allows you to roll over up to $500 to the next calendar year.) It may make sense to schedule health appointments soon, before the school year and holiday season are in full swing. You can use your tax-advantaged account to pay for regular medical and dental bills, eye exams, eyeglasses, chiropractic care and mental health counseling. If you have a health savings account (HSA), the funds don't expire. Consider using the funds for various health expenses this year, or keep the money invested for future needs, which may include retirement health expenses. You have until the tax filing deadline (generally April 15) to make your annual contribution to the account for the prior year. Contribution limits vary based on certain factors, including whether you have single or family high deductible health plan coverage, so check with your tax professional.
Increase contributions. Boost your retirement accounts and reduce your taxable income by contributing the maximum amount to your tax-deferred IRA and 401(k) accounts. Your contributions will not be taxed in the current year. Plus, when you eventually withdraw the savings in retirement, you will probably be taxed at a lower rate.
Protect yourself. Review your insurance policies and evaluate if you have the appropriate coverage. A divorce, child's college graduation, large purchase, home remodel, etc. could cause you to need more, less or different options. Look for savings from bundling policies and pursue eligible discounts (safe driver discount on auto insurance, for example).
As you re-assess your financial well-being this fall, consider working with a financial advisor who can help you sort through potential challenges, identify your key goals and develop a strategy to keep your financial plan on track.

Obesity risk 'determined in first weeks of life'
The health of the mother during pregnancy and the first few months of a child's life are key in determining the likelihood of the infant becoming obese in later years, according to a new study.
Researchers from the Medical Research Council Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit at the University of Southampton have been exploring how the weeks leading up to birth and those after it can potentially impact on a baby's future health.
Doctors analysed the effects of five factors that previous research has shown may lead to obesity in later life - breastfeeding for only a short period, the mother being overweight, smoking, having low vitamin D status and taking a long time to lose excess pregnancy weight.
Using data relating to 991 infants from the Southampton Women's Survey, the team discovered that if at least four of these five factors applied to a woman and her baby, when the child reached the age of four, their fat mass was an average of 19 per cent higher than other children, while they were 3.99 times more likely to be obese.
What's more, it was found that the child's risk of being overweight increased 4.65-fold by the time they were six years old, with their fat mass being around 47 per cent higher than their normal-weight counterparts of the same age.
Although the scientists took into account other factors that may have contributed to weight gain, such as an unhealthy diet or lack of exercise, their results showed that these had no significant impact on the outcome of the study, indicating that the environment into which a baby is born can be critical for determining their health status as they grow up.
Director of the research centre Professor Cyrus Cooper commented: 'The large differences in the risk of being overweight in childhood that were shown in this study highlight the importance of early life risk factors.
'These findings could have important implications for obesity prevention policy and will help us to design future interventions aimed at optimising body composition, with benefits for lifelong health.'

Q: Double asterisk regex reports as invalid I'm trying to find an indeterminable amount of text, including punctuation, between a pair of two asterisks (i.e. **This text, please**) using findText along with a regular expression. The script should then act upon both the asterisks and the enclosed text. My code is as follows:
function main() {
  var search = body.findText('(\*\*)+([.*]+)+(\*\*)');
  if (search === null) {
    DocumentApp.getUi().alert('No text was found that required formatting.');
  } else {
    function second() {
      if (search !== null) {
        search = body.findText('(\*\*)+([.*]+)+(\*\*)');
        search.setBold(true);
        body.replaceText('\*\*','');
        second();
      } else {
        DocumentApp.getUi.alert('Formatting completed!');
    }
  };
}
};

I'm working upon the assumption the findText only finds the first instance of a search pattern.
Now, I'm fully aware that my regular expression won't work due to capture groups not being supported, but what other way is there to 'phrase' such as search? Would it be possible to do this with three separate search with an offset if it can't be done with a single regular expression?

A: I'm sorry to announce that, but it look like the operation you are trying to perform is impossible. as said in the documentation the function findText do not support any regExp, and the one you are building don't look to be supported.
this is my reformulation of your regExp: http://regex101.com/r/eN6vT9 : *{2}.*?*{2}
But because of the restrictions it's not supported, the only thing I where cappable of matching is a single star.
More over when you find a match the action of putting the match in bold is not working. It bold the all paragraph. The only possible workaround that I found here is to extract the text perform the regexp on the extracted text and replace everything, but in this case you'll loose all the other text formating (and I suppose that's not what you are looking for).
below the code that I used (not totally functional)
function main() {
  var doc = DocumentApp.getActiveDocument();
  var body = doc.getBody();
  Logger.log(body.getText());
//  body.setText("toto est content et il va ajouter des double stars ** et encore ** et encore **");
//  var search = body.findText('\*{2}.*?\*{2}');
  var pattern = '/(\*\*)/';
   var search = body.findText(pattern);
  Logger.log(search);
  if (search == null) {
   // DocumentApp.getUi().alert('No text was found that required formatting.');
  } else {
    var style = {};
    style[DocumentApp.Attribute.BOLD] = true;
    search.
    search.getElement().setAttributes(style);
//    body.replaceText('\*\*','');
   // DocumentApp.getUi().alert('Formatting completed!');
  }
}

From sexy models to beautiful actresses in Hollywood and some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, we all have that one or two celebrities we admire or get inspiration from. If you are like most people, you might have wondered what your favorite celeb does in his or her spare time. But being in the spotlight, most celebrities have hobbies that are way cooler and fun than ours. A handful of them are also humble and down to earth, so they engage in spare time activities anyone else can take up. Here are 8 plus hobbies celebrities love the most. (Image Credits: Pexels/Pixabay)
1. Reading and Writing
Reading can be a fun adventure during free time for some people. Many celebrities find it to be a relaxing and entertaining way to spend their spare time when away from the cameras. For instance, Serena Williams and James Patterson are some of the few stars who engage in reading as a hobby.
Also, writing is in so many forms a way of earning a few coins in this age and day. Tyler Perry has made tremendous fame in the entertainment world for his beautifully scripted movies.
2. Paddle Boarding
From the likes of Julia Roberts to Cameron Diaz and Michelle Rodriguez, paddleboarding is a popular spare time activity for many celebrities. The good thing about this water sport is that it is not restricted to any age, gender, or social class. Anyone can take it up as long as they have access to a water body, some curiosity, and the right equipment. On the latter note, it all starts by choosing the right paddle board for your needs as a beginner. If you take a look at StandUpPaddleBoardsReview.com, you will learn how to pick the right SUP board so you can hit the waters pronto. Paddleboards come in various types, including inflatable versions, yoga SUP boards, fishing boards, touring paddleboards, and boards specially designed for kids.
3. Sporting
Sports will be the next take over in the 21st century. Being an athlete is considered crucial, just like other jobs. Globally, sports bring a significant amount of revenue to a country's economy. Some of the celebrities known for their prowess in sports include Serena Williams, one of the best tennis legends. Serena has a record of 13 grand slam titles on the court and owns many titles for Open Era Records at the Australian Open amongst so many others. Apple co-founder Steve says that his all-time favorite sport during leisure is playing Segway Polo.
4. Fashion and Design
Many celebrities have built companies that sell designer clothes and showcase them during occasions like the Red Carpet and awards like the Grammy awards. Antonio Banderas is famously known for acting and also doing voice over in some films. Banderas, during his leisure, engages in design work and has enrolled in a fashion school.
Naomi Osaka, a renowned female tennis player, also launched a clothes line recently. The tennis player was so excited about the launch because it has always been her fascination. During a recent TV interview, the tennis sensational was quoted saying that "fashion is a great way to reflect your mood, be playful, and take chances". Osaka says that she uses fashion to communicate her mood and feeling at the moment.
5. Owning Exotic Pets
There are things considered pets to "normal" people but have you ever considered owning a tiger? Some celebrities have an unusual definition of pets. They own from turtles to snakes, even koala bears. Shocking right? Reece Witherspoon, a trendy actress in the movie Big Little Lies, owns mature donkeys for "pets". Oh, yes you read that right! She even gets her children to help with grooming.
Justin Bieber (JB), the singer and songwriter whose poise and lyrics make women go nuts; owns a baby capuchin monkey. This capuchin monkey was a gift from his friend during a German tour.
6. Skiing
Actress Brooke shields love to ski with her family members during winter at Spanish Peak Mountain Club. Natasha Richardson, who was famous for the Maid in Manhattan (sadly) died while skiing. She had an internal skull injury from not having a helmet during the climb, which led to brain hemorrhage. The famous Kardashians love the snow too. The influential fashionistas love winter moments as one of their hobbies.
7. Dancing
Beyonce takes the crown! This goddess has driven fans crazy by her dance moves on stage, but you should know that she loves dancing besides singing and other hobbies. If you are a keen follower, you will realize that she dances a lot. Would that be the reason behind her hot body? Dancing is also a form of workout, so let us do what we do best if presumably, that's the secret behind the toned, glowing skin.
8. Photography
This is quite an investment, but celebrities do not mind going extravagant on what gives them pleasure. After all, they have all the money to spend the fans to please. Kanye West is a big fan of photography, especially after attending the American Academy of Art. Besides his awards in rapping, recording, and singing, his love for the lens is on another level.
To sum it up, our beloved celebs have cool hobbies they enjoy during their spare time. Perhaps it's what fuels their creativity and ramps up their energy to entertain us more.

Columbia St. Mary's acquired the River Woods property in December 2004. The 68,000 sq. ft. building, formerly the Heart Hospital of Milwaukee, has an adjacent medical office building and ample surface parking. The building is conveniently located between Columbia St. Mary's Columbia and Milwaukee campuses on Milwaukee's east side and the Ozaukee Campus in Mequon. Designed around the needs of patients, the center offers outpatient services for gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, medical imaging, ambulatory surgery, and urgent care.
Six suites for day surgery (ophthalmology, urology, otolaryngology, plastic, and general surgery cases).
Four rooms for GI endoscopy services.
23 peri-operative and peri-procedural patient rooms to support these services.
Imaging Center offering CT, open MRI, ultrasound, general radiology services, and women's imaging utilizing full-field digital mammography.
Urgent Care services The state-of-the-art Imaging Center at River Woods includes general radiology services, CT, ultrasound, and women's imaging utilizing full-field digital mammography. In addition, patients who need an MRI scan will benefit from the center's new open MRI—one of only six Panorama 1.0T MRIs to be installed in the United States. With its 360° viewing angle and wide aperture, patients can see their complete surroundings during the MRI test, eliminating the claustrophobic effects of traditional (closed) MRIs. Same-day imaging requests will be fulfilled whenever possible.
The Imaging Center also features a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) that allows images such as X-rays and scans to be stored electronically and viewed on video screens. This enables doctors and other health professionals to access the information and compare it with previous images at the touch of a button. PACS technology allows for a near filmless process, with all the flexibility of digital systems. It also removes all the costs associated with hard film and releases valuable space currently used for storage. PACS will support clinicians in performing their roles and will contribute to more efficient and advanced service.

I really am a sucker for a good bomber jacket. I have multiple and don't plan on ending any additions to my collection any time soon!
I am also a sucker for army green jackets. Those I have a lot of, but really so many different styles! With a hood, without, cinched waist, not cinched, zipper instead of buttons. The same, yet different! That's why I had no problem tossing this in my cart! Can one really have too many?! Nope.
I liked this particular jacket because it is super lightweight-perfect for chilly spring days. It can also easily be dressed up, too!

Enhance access to justice. Improve the legal system. Empower lawyers to achieve. These three pillars have remained the foundation of the D.C. Bar's mission since its creation by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals in 1972.
Today the Bar stands as the largest unified bar in the United States, providing the oversight structure needed to maintain the profession's ethical standards and Rules of Professional Conduct. Our membership is diverse with about 100,000 members in all 50 states and more than 80 countries. The organization is governed by a Board of Governors, led by Esther Lim, the Bar's 47th president. (View a list of past presidents.) The leaders work together to achieve goals set out in the D.C. Bar's strategic plan.
To address the growing access to justice gap, the Bar's Pro Bono Center has developed programs that cast a wide net in meeting the legal needs of low-income District residents. People who need probate or landlord and tenant help, for example, can attend the D.C. Superior Court resource centers. Small business owners and nonprofits can contact the Nonprofit Legal Assistance and Small Business Legal Assistance Program. Brief advice on any civil legal matter is dispensed at the Saturday Advice & Referral Clinic. Through these types of programs and with the help of attorney volunteers, the Pro Bono Center reaches tens of thousands of residents each year.
Since its inception the Bar has kept a fundamental commitment to protect the integrity of the profession, creating the Clients' Security Fund in the same year to reimburse clients for losses caused by the dishonest conduct of D.C. Bar members. In addition, the Office of Disciplinary Counsel and Board on Professional Responsibility work hand in hand to protect the public and the courts from unethical conduct by D.C. Bar members and to protect members from unfounded complaints.
To provide easy access to legal ethics rules and opinions, the Bar updates a searchable directory of all opinions issued by the Legal Ethics Committee. The Bar also provides guidance about the interpretation and application of the D.C. Rules of Professional Conduct through its helpline.
Recognizing that lawyers, judges, and law students may struggle during their career with problems that affect their personal or professional lives, the Bar also provides the free and confidential Lawyer Assistance Program to help address such problems.
The Attorney/Client Arbitration Board's Fee Dispute Program provides an arbitration service for lawyers and their clients to resolve disputes about legal fees. The board has handled more than 300 cases in the past five years.
Whether at their desks or visiting the Bar's offices, D.C. Bar members have access to hundreds of engaging, relevant educational programs through the Bar's Practice Management Advisory Service, its 21 substantive Communities, and its award-winning Continuing Legal Education Program. High-quality programs are available for every practitioner. Online and in-person courses tackle a wide range of legal topics and best business practices.
Bar members also have the opportunity to develop and sharpen their leadership skills through the John Payton Leadership Academy. The Academy accept applicants annually for its intensive three-day training program.
The Bar partners with many local organizations, including the D.C. Courts, D.C. Bar Foundation, legal services providers, voluntary bars, and law schools, to stay in tune with the community. The Bar works with these organizations to host community-wide events, run clinics, provide essential programs and services to District residents, and much more. These partnerships are critical to helping the Bar maintain its focus on serving the public, supporting the judiciary, and enhancing the profession.

Amy Schumer congratulates Screen Actors Guild Award nominees while nominating her BREASTS because they are 'members of the sag community'
By Brian Marks For Dailymail.com
Amy Schumer had some fun at her own expense on Wednesday as she congratulated the actors who had been nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
The 40-year-old comedian jokingly said she was also nominating her 'breasts' for the award, because they are 'members of the sag community.'
The Trainwreck star highlighted her cleavage on Instagram with an outtake from a recent photoshoot.
A post shared by @amyschumer
Amy posed for the initial photo — which she shared on Tuesday — on a bed with an opulent brown leather headboard.
She lie on her side across the bed while wearing a busty black plaid dress with a low-cut stretchy top and puffy short sleeves.
Amy Schumer and Shirley MacLaine join season two cast of hit... Amy Schumer reveals she suffers from 'crushing anxiety' as... Amy Schumer wishes her husband Chris Fischer a happy 42nd... 'I looked like Maleficent!': Amy Schumer jokes that she...
The stand-up comic gazed into the camera playfully while teasing strands of her wavy blond hair with her hand.
'As we all slip into madness it felt nice to dress up,' she captioned her post.
A sillier outtake from the photoshoot was the perfect image to accompany her humorous SAG caption.
This one was snapped at an angle as Amy tried to lean forward while putting her bare feet in the air.
Among the SAG Award nominees, Ted Lasso dominated in the comedy categories while Succession had strong representation in the dramatic categories, even though both shows toe the line between comedy and drama.
Meanwhile, Apple TV+'s series The Morning Show — which stars Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston — was just behind the shows with four nominations.
The Korean series Squid Game, which became a breakout hit for Netflix, also received four nominations.
Star power: Prior to her joking SAG Awards post, Martin Short revealed to Deadline on Wednesday that she would be joining the second season of his hit Hulu comedy Only Murders In The Building; seen December 4 in NYC
Best in the biz: Shirley MacLaine was also confirmed to join the program, and Tina Fey and Cara Delevingne were previously enlisted for season two; seen in 2019
Earlier on Wednesday, it was announced that Amy would be joining Shirley MacLaine to appear on season two of the hit Hulu comedy series Only Murders In The Building.
Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short lead the comedies cast as a group of neighbors and true-crime podcast enthusiasts who are brought together after a murder is committed in their apartment building.
The three become amateur sleuths as they try to solve the murder, which they document for their own true-crime podcast.
'Before Christmas, [I shot scenes with] Shirley MacLaine and Amy Schumer,' Short told Deadline. 'The quality of actor that this show is attracting makes it endlessly fun to go to work.'
Short was among the SAG nominees that Amy congratulated, and he shared that he was 'thrilled and honored' to get his first nomination from the guild.
The second season is shaping up to be an all-star affair, as Tina Fey and Cara Delevingne have also been added to the cast.

first one is a bernini angel. the eyes are almost closed, but they are still open a little so he does look. and, if you look closely you see there is no iris or pupil carved, its only shadows from the overhanging top eyelid.
the second is bernini´s ludovica. her eyes are a little more open than on the angel, and we can see that no pupil or iris is carved. both bernini examples are marble carvings, but we can of course use them as inspiration when carving wood.
the third is gerhardts jesus. that is carved in linden, and we see the eyeball is painted with iris and pupil.
the fourth example, is a virgin carved by stoss, again in linden, the eyes are closed in a comtemplating way, and no iris and pupil carved.
and the last is of an unknown carver done in marble, a contemporary work, and this shows iris and pupil carved under half closed eyelids.
instead of suggesting you what i would do, i suggest you to look these examples, and ask yourself which one would give the closest in the feeling you want portrait.
none of these examples is like you are carving, but i believe you can now see which is the correct answer for you. … i hope this helps you, … i could tell you what i personally would choose, but i believe it is better if you find the answer in yourself. whatever you choose, i know you will do correctly, and i will help you with technical questions if they occur.


Just over 40 years ago in a recording studio in Kingston, Jamaica, a sound engineer named Byron Smith was busy cutting a new song, On The Beach by the Paragons. Recording straight from the master tape on to an acetate disc, also known as a dubplate, the track was for a local deejay named Ruddy Redwood to play at a dance that evening. In his haste, Smith forgot to pan up the vocals on the mixing desk, cutting just the backing track on to the dubplate, and accidentally recording the world's first "12-inch instrumental". Apologising for his mistake, Smith was about to throw the faulty disc out when Redwood stopped him. Intrigued by the instrumental version, he took it with him. That night, using two turntables, he switched between the original mix and the vocal-less version of the song, giving the MC more room to manoeuvre and the crowd space to sing along between verses, sending them crazy in the process and hacking the structure of a song live for the first time. That night the crowd made him play the dubplate so many times it got completely worn out. The remix was born.
Forty years later, the idea behind the remix is everywhere you look. Video game code is deliberately left unlocked so fans can tweak and improve it. Boeing's new Dreamliner airplane was designed in collaboration with 120,000 volunteers who signed up to help through the corporation's website. Companies like Facebook that are based on user-generated content are worth more than manufacturing giants like Ford. People have their cars "remixed" on MTV's Pimp My Ride, while people are busy illicitly re-editing and reposting television clips online every day. Thanks to the efforts of people like Ruddy Redwood pushing new ideas from the fringes of pop culture, the way we use information looks very different today.
In many cases we implicitly understand the value in remixing, redistributing and making copies of other people's content. But in others, we don't. Sometimes we see people like Redwood as innovators, while in other instances they are regarded as pirates.
This is happening in the music business right now, even though the industry was created by a "pirate" in the first place. When Thomas Edison invented the phonographic record player, musicians branded him a pirate, out to steal their work and destroy the live music business. That opinion prevailed until a system was established so everyone could be paid royalties; a system that formed the backbone of the recording industry and which is still in place today.
Edison, in turn, went on to invent film-making, and demanded a licensing fee from those making movies with his technology. This caused a band of film-making pirates, including a man named William, to flee New York for the then still wild West, where they thrived, unlicensed, until Edison's patents expired. These pirates continue to operate there, albeit legally now, in the town they founded: Hollywood. William's last name? Fox.
From CEOs to struggling artists, in everything from health care to entertainment to education, many of us are being challenged by the problem of others sharing and using our intellectual property without permission.
In the 1950s - despite the best efforts of Elvis - there wasn't much to listen to on UK radio besides the shipping forecast. The radio waves were seen as being far too powerful to be turned over to the people, so there were no commercial stations. Instead, radio was used for broadcasting news and education by the BBC, with only Pick Of The Pops on the Light Programme catering for pop fans. That all changed when European pirate radio ships like Radio Mercur took to the seas in the late 1950s, broadcasting rock'n'roll to Europe from huge radio masts attached to old fishing and military boats anchored in waters outside state jurisdiction. The pirate sector exploded in the Beatles-fuelled pop boom of the 1960s when Radio London and Radio Caroline, along with other, smaller stations, raised their masts, making a ton of ad revenue in the process. These new stations reached millions of people across Europe; people who liked being able to listen to free rock'n'roll on their radios. European governments realised this was a battle they couldn't win - there was too much support for what the pirates were doing - and that they couldn't close them down without offering an alternative. So they did the only thing they could: they decided to co-opt them. Commercial radio soon became legal all over the continent, and many of the pirates were able to go legit and set up on land. In the UK, the BBC hired DJs from Radio London (such as Tony Blackburn and John Peel), and created their own imitation, which they called Radio 1. Rock'n'roll radio was here to stay.
Nike's Air Force 1 is a basketball shoe that has been customised and re-released by the company themselves over 900 times since its launch in 1982. But this didn't stop 22-year-old Tokyo hip-hop DJ, Nigo, from creating his own version. Nigo (who released an album, Ape Sounds, on James Lavelle's Mo Wax label in 2000) redesigned the Air Force 1 specifically for hip-hop fans, never intending it to be used as a basketball shoe. Taking the Air Force 1 design as his base, Nigo ripped off the "swoosh" logo and stitched on his own shooting star- like emblem. He used materials and colour combinations even Nike hadn't experimented with at the time, and sold them in very limited quantities for upwards of $300 a pair. Nigo's fashion label, A Bathing Ape, which produces the shoes, is now a multimillion dollar streetwear brand with more than 16 stores in Japan, London and New York. But what Nike did next is where it gets interesting. There was a clear case of trademark infringement here, but Nike didn't sue Nigo, because it could see commercial value in what he was doing. It recognised that his shoe wasn't detracting from the Air Force 1 brand, it was actually adding value. In music, good remixes make the original tracks more popular - the same thing was happening here. So instead of suing him, Nike looked at Nigo's remixed shoes, and created their own remixes in response, using a wider variety of materials and colours. They didn't view Nigo as a pirate, but as a competitor who pushed them to innovate. And while Nigo's trainers continue to do well, the ever-evolving Nike Air Force 1 remains the world's most popular basketball shoe franchise over 25 years after its release.
When an online copy of Scrabble called Scrabulous appeared on Facebook, it quickly amassed 2.3 million fans who played it every day. It was an amazing user-generated ad campaign, and sales of real Scrabble boards increased. All Hasbro and Mattel (the owners of Scrabble) had to do was swoop in with their cheque books and make it legit; instead they treated Scrabulous as a simple case of piracy and threatened to sue. It may have been smarter to cut a deal rather than anger potential customers. Thousands signed up to the "Save Scrabulous" Facebook group. One fan threatened a hunger strike. Hasbro and Mattel are still talking tough, but if the backlash continues they may be forced to eat their words.
Managing directors take note! Don't let your legal department make a decision about pirates without talking to marketing first, because pirates can sometimes refresh the parts other ad strategies cannot reach. Pirates can create awareness for brands, and some large companies are starting to recognise the value in letting people mash up their content, becoming increasingly tolerant of unofficial remixes. Last year Soulja Boy's Crank Dat was one of the major hits of the summer and the video was a YouTube sensation. Soon, remixed videos were appearing, featuring clips of a variety of copy-protected cartoon characters lip-synching along. SpongeBob, Shrek, Super Mario, South Park and The Simpsons all got "super-manned". Every major Hollywood studio had at least one of their cartoon franchises ripped off, but not one of them bothered to issue a cease and desist notice.
Likewise, when comedy rock band Guyz Nite made a video for their song Die Hard using nothing but clips from the 20th Century Fox-produced Die Hard movies (and put them online), Fox's legal team initially got them taken down. But when the marketing bods at Fox found out about the video, they got in touch with Guyz Nite and offered them money to put the video back up, and invited them to the premiere of Die Hard 4.0. William Fox would be proud.

CORONA – Bill Cobb thrives on unpredictability. That is what he has enjoyed most in his six years as manager of the Corona Municipal Airport.
The city hired the Franklin, Va., native in October 1998. Before coming to Corona Airport, Cobb served 28 years in the Air Force, retiring as a colonel in 1996.
During the Vietnam War, the Riverside resident first attended college at the Virginia Military Institute then joined the Air Force.
The pilot served in Vietnam for one year, and then later in Okinawa, Japan, and Thailand in support of the war, flying refueling missions and gassing up bombers in mid-flight at speeds of more than 300 mph.
He and his wife of almost 36 years, Vicki, have lived in 18 different cities during his military career, which includes a stint as the vice wing commander and wing commander at March Air Force Base in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Running that base taught Cobb all about airport management, he said.
Cobb's boss, Mark Wills, director of parks and community services, said Cobb's experience and passion for the airport has helped it run more efficiently. He is proactive about tackling issues, addressing them before they become problems, Wills said.
Cobb said his biggest challenge has been keeping the airport fiscally sound, something that has been tough for small, recreational airports since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Also, with gas prices up, it means fewer pilots taking to the skies, he said.
The highlights include his efforts to improve security at the airport, the start of the annual Corona Air Fair, and his creation of a support and networking group for 15 small airport managers in neighboring cities, he said.
The man who will succeed him, Rich Brodeur, praised Cobb's dedication and organization.
Brodeur was assistant airport manager at Brackett Airport in La Verne for eight years before being chosen to replace Cobb.
He said he will build on Cobb's efforts to get the word out about the airport, which houses about 414 airplanes and helicopters.
While Brodeur takes over where Cobb left off, Cobb will be living in his beach cottage in Cape Hatteras, N.C., dodging hurricanes, carving decoy ducks out of wood, and bouncing his first grandchild, expected in December, on his knee, he said.
His two children, William Jr. and Victoria, live on the East Coast. He'll spend time visiting them, along with playing golf and traveling, he said.
He won't be there on weekends when families turn washing their airplanes into an all-day block party complete with barbecue grilling, but he will miss it just the same, he said.
Corona Municipal Airport General Manager Bill Cobb says the toughest challenge has been keeping the facility fiscally sound.

How the SARS-CoV2 Proficiency Test assists the diagnostic industry
Clinical, Proficiency Testing
The information generated by the Proficiency Test contributes to the improvement of laboratories, helps kit manufacturers and benefits the whole society.
In the current Covid-19 pandemic scenario, in which constant technologies are being improved or emerging to aid diagnosis, participation in a Proficiency Test (EP), a tool also known as External Quality Control, is evidence of the laboratory's commitment to the reliability of its reports.
The release of accurate results leads to early clinical management of the patient and reliable epidemiological data. The laboratory reports for Covid-19 are references for tracking contacts of the infected individual, aiming at controlling the transmission of the disease. These data are also used by the authorities for planning and actions to deal with the pandemic.
EP is one of the mechanisms for controlling the quality of results. It works like this: the laboratory receives samples with unknown results and is instructed to test them in the same way as patient samples. The results found by the laboratory are sent to the proficiency provider, such as Controllab.
After receiving the data from the laboratories and applying a statistical treatment of comparison and evaluation of the results, the provider issues a report to each participant. In it, it is possible to identify the expected result compared to the reported data. It is information that, when analyzed critically by the participant, contributes to the continuous improvement of the laboratory and, consequently, to the reliability of doctors and patients.
The performance of the group of participants by analytical system shows how efficiently these laboratories are applying the techniques of the system, but inconsistencies can also be verified in batches of diagnostic kits distributed by the manufacturers or even issues of improvements of this analytical system when compared by other groups similar.
Committed to supporting diagnostic routines, Controllab was a pioneer in offering EP for SARS-CoV2 and was recently accredited by Cgcre of Inmetro (PEP 003) for the main methodologies for detecting the disease. This recognition enabled Controllab to be the first Proficiency Test provider in the world accredited by Covid-19 research using Molecular Biology, Automated Immunology and Rapid Diagnostic Test (POCT)* methods for antibody and antigen research.
All tests offered by Controllab follow the criteria of ISO/IEC 17043 and accreditation is evidence of these actions. It endorses reliability and competence in relation to the services offered. By choosing the Proficiency Test program from an accredited provider, the laboratory meets certification and accreditation requirements.
Aware of the evolution of diagnoses for Covid-19, Controllab expanded the offer of quality control for disease with the saliva matrix. In September, it released the 2nd interlaboratory report for SARS-CoV2 methods, with valuable information that will be useful to demonstrate to the market the performance of the analytical systems used.
Like the first report, which was a precursor in Brazil, the behavior obtained in the interlaboratory comparison was analyzed by a group of specialists in the sector. The new document contemplates a greater diversity of kits and automated systems. It assists both kit manufacturers and laboratories, demonstrating the relevance of quality control for decisions about systems implanted in the routine, in this period of learning and uncertainty.
For more information about the solutions provided by Controllab, contact us by email contato@controllab.com or by phones and WhatsApp +55 (21) 97901-0310 e +55 (21) 98036-1592.

Catherine Chevauché (ISO TC 323 on circular economy): "The human being is a lever towards a (more) circular economy"
Are the principles of circular economy applicable to HRM? Could they bring added value? This is what is being explored by the Circular HRM project led by the think & do tank Pour la Solidarité In collaboration with HR Square. In parallel to this journey, we are providing you with a series of insights to better understand what circular economy is (or is not). Third step: interview with Catherine Chevauché, Chair of ISO Technical Committee 323 on circular economy.
Everyone knows that consumerism and the increasing use of disposable products are endangering our planet, depleting its resources and emptying our pockets. An alternative to the make-use-dispose model is the implementation of a circular economy. An economy in which as little as possible is wasted and as much as possible is reused or transformed. Although standards and initiatives abound in different areas, such as recycling for example, there is currently no comprehensive vision of how an organization can "close the loop". The ISO technical committee on circular economy has been tasked with developing such a vision. Bringing together experts from 75 countries (62 participating members and 13 observer members), it began its work in May last year, with the ambition of publishing the first standards in early 2023.
Some ISO standards are famous - ISO 9000 on quality management, ISO 14000 on environmental management, ISO 26000 on social responsibility - while others are less known but quite relevant to the HRM world - such as ISO 30400 on the vocabulary of human resources management, ISO 30405 on recruitment or ISO 30408 on guidelines for human governance. The technical committee on circular economy is as a recent addition to a long list of working groups developing International Standards in virtually every area of our lives. What does this work consist of?
Catherine Chevauché: "ISO, the International Organization for Standardization, is an independent non-governmental organization whose members are the national standards bodies. For Belgium, it is the Bureau de Normalisation (NBN). In France, it is AFNOR. Each of these national bodies is responsible for the development and publication of standards in its own country. Their work is aggregated at the European or global level, with a view to producing international standards that are voluntary, consensus-based, relevant to the market, which support innovation and/or provide solutions to global challenges. It was during a seminar organised by AFNOR that the idea of creating a committee on circular economy was born. This led to the development of a French standard (XP X30-901, Economie circulaire - Circular Economy Project Management System - Requirements and Guidelines), published in 2018. Reactions were positive and led to the proposal to create an international committee. The fact that 75 countries are now involved shows great interest in the subject, with a balanced geographical composition. Many African countries participate in ISO technical committee 323, even though these countries have generally borne the burden of the inequalities of wealth and waste of developed countries. »
The drafting of an ISO standard is part of a long process. What are the foundations already in place?
Catherine Chevauché: "Our committee's remit is to establish internationally agreed terminology and principles for circular economy. A first text will therefore define the framework: what is the definition of circular economy, what are its principles? A second text will clarify how circular economy can lead to alternative business models and have an impact on value chains. A third text will deal with methods of measuring and evaluating the circularity of a product or service, with key indicators. Finally, a fourth text will compile case studies and share the experiences of organizations that have developed business models that can be considered circular. ISO/TC 323 intends to cover all aspects of a circular economy, including public procurement, production and distribution, end-of-life, as well as other broader areas such as changing societal behaviour. It also takes advantage of the links established with many other ISO technical committees responsible for developing standards related to this field: on sustainable procurement, quality management and environmental management, to name but a few examples. »
It is well known that there are a large number of definitions of circular economy. What is your starting point and what, in your view, are the issues involved in this definition exercise?
Catherine Chevauché: "A circular economy is a so-called restorative or regenerative economy. Instead of buying, using, throwing away, the idea is that nothing, or almost nothing, should be 'thrown away', but rather reused, or regenerated, thus reducing waste and the use of resources. While many organisations are 'doing their bit' in terms of recycling or local sourcing, we are still a long way from a world where economy is truly circular. One of the ambitions of this standardisation exercise is to define a truly global vision of what circular economy is and a model that can be followed or adopted by any organisation. One of the underlying issues, I think, is not just to look at waste management, for example, but to look at the whole value chain. There is also the issue of looking at all resources and not excluding certain resources, such as energy, for example. It is essential to be able to take a completely holistic view, and not to stop at the issue of materials and material flow. This is not just a simple technical question of product optimisation! You have to look not only at the environmental aspects, but also at the economic and societal aspects. And it is on these last two aspects that I expect of course that we will encounter the most difficulties. For example, according to the World Economic Forum, moving towards a circular economy is 'a multi trillion dollar opportunity with enormous potential for innovation, job creation and economic growth'. This is one of the facets. But another facet must lead us to question the logic of short-termism in order to take a long-term and sustainable perspective. We can see the challenge of the standardisation exercise: to be able to achieve a result that is sufficiently consensual to be used, but without losing the initial level of ambition. The latter implies, in our case, questioning our modes of production and consumption. Quite a programme! »
How would you translate these issues into a concrete example?
Catherine Chevauché: "Let's take a company that makes pens. The reflection of circularity cannot stop at the company's boundaries, namely the question of whether the pen is eco-designed. You have to look upstream, in the ecosystem in which the company operates: where the raw materials come from, but also how they are produced and then purchased. Then, how this pen will be sold and used. And, finally, what happens to it at the end of its life: will it have a new life, contribute to becoming something else, etc.? Here we see the idea of the value chain, but also the importance of including multidisciplinary perspectives: how does circularity imply different ways of working together, different data sharing, a different conception of value, etc.? This type of reflection raises a lot of questions. Circularity can only be said to exist if we manage to minimize all externalities, which implies modes of operation and behaviour that will be fundamentally different from those of today. »
Does considering "all resources", as you said, mean including human resources? Can human beings be considered as a resource in the same way as others?
Catherine Chevauché: "The principle of humanity should take us away from the perspective of considering the human being as a mere resource on an equal footing with others. But the principle of realism forces us not to exclude it: in many countries, and even for some organizations, the human being is often considered as such, as a disposable resource. As an HR manager, if you decide to lay off workers who are considered to be overwhelmed by a certain technological evolution in order to hire others who have the required competence directly, without considering retraining the former or developing their employability, aren't you wasting resources? aren't you wasting resources when the workload and pressure become so great that they lead to burn-out? But, alongside this point of view, there must be the view that the human being should be seen more as a lever for moving towards a circular economy. It is indeed us, at the end of the day, who decide on our modes of production and consumption. »
"While many organisations are 'doing their bit', we are still a long way from a world where economy is truly circular"
Is human resources management a topic that has already been explored in your work?
Catherine Chevauché: "No, the issue has not yet emerged because, at this stage, we have around the table mainly specialists in the environment and sustainable development. But I am convinced that, at some point, it will be essential to broaden the areas of expertise in order to be able to develop the holistic vision I was talking about. The development of a circular economy requires the promotion of a partnership collaboration: more cross-functionality within the company, greater involvement of its external stakeholders in an ecosystems approach, etc. It also implies change management, which must be accompanied. There is a educational issue at stake. A circular economy provides for repair rather than throwing away and buying back: there is a pool of jobs to be created or brought back to allow for recovery and repair. It will also be necessary to review production so as to make products that can be dismantled and whose components can be reused to a greater extent than today. All of these issues demonstrate that human resource managers have a key role to play. »
Should the principles of circular economy lead HR professionals to review their own practices?
Catherine Chevauché: "There is certainly inspiration to be drawn from it in terms of support and skills development. Most companies will tell you that they are already doing this, but on a daily basis, we can see that they quickly fall back into simple accounting calculations. While the initial intention is generally good, the further down the organizations you go, the less people feel that they are being considered or that you are investing in their employability. There is a lot of talk in France about 'GPEC', the forward-looking management of jobs and skills. Some people make efforts, but others put a little bit of what they want into it.
"The challenge is to avoid reaching a soft consensus, a form of greenwashing"
One of the principles of circular economy is to extend the lifespan of products and to repair what can be repaired. One can imagine a parallel with the need to work longer to finance pensions: how can we ensure that work is sustainable and that it is possible to be active for longer periods without exhausting ourselves? How can we encourage the return to work of workers who have been absent for long periods of time, instead of excluding them from the labour market? Etc. »
Putting the subject of the applicability of circular economy principles to human resources management on the table may be challenging, even seem far-fetched....
Catherine Chevauché: "It is appropriate for any reflection on new subjects. We noticed it during our first sessions as well. The French described what they meant by circular economy. Then the Japanese presented their point of view. Then the Brazilians. And so on and so forth. We see various orientations appearing, sometimes going in all directions, with unexpected axes, to say the least. Then we try to sort it out, to keep what makes sense, making sure that it is not the European countries or Japan - because they are one step ahead of the subject - that impose their views. As chair of the technical committee, I am very keen that everyone be given the chance to participate, to express themselves and to contribute. This is why I hope that each of the themes can be steered not by one country, but by a couple of countries from different geographical areas - France and Brazil, Japan and Rwanda, for example. The other challenge, as I said, is to avoid reaching a soft consensus, a form of greenwashing. At the end of my term of office, I will judge the mission successful or unsuccessful according to the level of ambition we have been able to achieve. »
Is the Covid-19 crisis likely to give additional impetus to the realization of a circular economy or is it likely to divert attention to other more immediate concerns?
Catherine Chevauché: "Difficult to answer this question! In any case, the current crisis highlights the urgent need to develop a long-term mindset rather than remain focused on the short term, but also to turn to short cycles and positive value loops. When I opened the work of Technical Committee 323, I insisted on the environmental and social urgency, and this crisis shows that they are of striking relevance. It is essential to move the lines. But we also know that we are facing a model that is extremely strong and particularly difficult to change. So nothing can be taken for granted and certainly not that the lessons of this crisis will impose themselves...".

title: Make Screen Reader Navigation Easier with the nav Landmark
challengeType: 0
videoUrl: 'https://scrimba.com/c/czVwWSv'
forumTopicId: 301024
---

## Description

The nav element is another HTML5 item with the embedded landmark feature for easy screen reader navigation. This tag is meant to wrap around the main navigation links in your page.
If there are repeated site links at the bottom of the page, it isn't necessary to markup those with a nav tag as well. Using a footer (covered in the next challenge) is sufficient.

## Instructions

Camper Cat included navigation links at the top of his training page, but wrapped them in a div. Change the div to a nav tag to improve the accessibility on his page.

## Tests

```yml
tests:
  - text: Your code should have one <code>nav</code> tag.
    testString: assert($('nav').length == 1);
  - text: Your <code>nav</code> tags should wrap around the <code>ul</code> and its list items.
    testString: assert($('nav').children('ul').length == 1);
  - text: Your code should not have any <code>div</code> tags.
    testString: assert($('div').length == 0);
  - text: Your <code>nav</code> element should have a closing tag.
    testString: assert(code.match(/<\/nav>/g) && code.match(/<\/nav>/g).length === code.match(/<nav>/g).length);

```

Q: Visual basic nested array string output to an actual array of integers? Hy, i have to ask you guys a question.
I have a function that combines me 10 elements of an array, that generates me a string of all combinations of 5.
the base array is an object so it can be char or integer, in this case is integer 0-9.
Dim base() As Object = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0}

Output from my function can be this
"012340123501236012370123801239012450124601247012480124901256012570125801259012670126801269012780127901289013450134601347013480134901356013570135801359013670136801369013780137901389014560145701458014590146701468014690147801479014890156701568015690157801579015890167801679016890178902345023460234702348023490235602357023580235902367023680236902378023790238902456024570245802459024670246802469024780247902489025670256802569025780257902589026780267902689027890345603457034580345903467034680346903478034790348903567035680356903578035790358903678036790368903789045670456804569045780457904589046780467904689047890567805679056890578906789123451234612347123481234912356123571235812359123671236812369123781237912389124561245712458124591246712468124691247812479124891256712568125691257812579125891267812679126891278913456134571345813459134671346813469134781347913489135671356813569135781357913589136781367913689137891456714568145691457814579145891467814679146891478915678156791568915789167892345623457234582345923467234682346923478234792348923567235682356923578235792358923678236792368923789245672456824569245782457924589246782467924689247892567825679256892578926789345673456834569345783457934589346783467934689347893567835679356893578936789456784567945689457894678956789"
and is stored in an object variable ( i say object because i can use the same function to output the same result as char use an object char array:
 Dim base() As Object = {"a", "b", "a", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i"} )

After some work if i use the first array:

Dim base() As Object = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0}

I have managed to recieve this output :
myarray = "{{0,1,2,3,4},{0,1,2,3,5},{0,1,2,3,6},{0,1,2,3,7},{0,1,2,3,8},{0,1,2,3,9},{0,1,2,4,5},{0,1,2,4,6},{0,1,2,4,7},{0,1,2,4,8},{0,1,2,4,9},{0,1,2,5,6},{0,1,2,5,7},{0,1,2,5,8},{0,1,2,5,9},{0,1,2,6,7},{0,1,2,6,8},{0,1,2,6,9},{0,1,2,7,8},{0,1,2,7,9},{0,1,2,8,9},{0,1,3,4,5},{0,1,3,4,6},{0,1,3,4,7},{0,1,3,4,8},{0,1,3,4,9},{0,1,3,5,6},{0,1,3,5,7},{0,1,3,5,8},{0,1,3,5,9},{0,1,3,6,7},{0,1,3,6,8},{0,1,3,6,9},{0,1,3,7,8},{0,1,3,7,9},{0,1,3,8,9},{0,1,4,5,6},{0,1,4,5,7},{0,1,4,5,8},{0,1,4,5,9},{0,1,4,6,7},{0,1,4,6,8},{0,1,4,6,9},{0,1,4,7,8},{0,1,4,7,9},{0,1,4,8,9},{0,1,5,6,7},{0,1,5,6,8},{0,1,5,6,9},{0,1,5,7,8},{0,1,5,7,9},{0,1,5,8,9},{0,1,6,7,8},{0,1,6,7,9},{0,1,6,8,9},{0,1,7,8,9},{0,2,3,4,5},{0,2,3,4,6},{0,2,3,4,7},{0,2,3,4,8},{0,2,3,4,9},{0,2,3,5,6},{0,2,3,5,7},{0,2,3,5,8},{0,2,3,5,9},{0,2,3,6,7},{0,2,3,6,8},{0,2,3,6,9},{0,2,3,7,8},{0,2,3,7,9},{0,2,3,8,9},{0,2,4,5,6},{0,2,4,5,7},{0,2,4,5,8},{0,2,4,5,9},{0,2,4,6,7},{0,2,4,6,8},{0,2,4,6,9},{0,2,4,7,8},{0,2,4,7,9},{0,2,4,8,9},{0,2,5,6,7},{0,2,5,6,8},{0,2,5,6,9},{0,2,5,7,8},{0,2,5,7,9},{0,2,5,8,9},{0,2,6,7,8},{0,2,6,7,9},{0,2,6,8,9},{0,2,7,8,9},{0,3,4,5,6},{0,3,4,5,7},{0,3,4,5,8},{0,3,4,5,9},{0,3,4,6,7},{0,3,4,6,8},{0,3,4,6,9},{0,3,4,7,8},{0,3,4,7,9},{0,3,4,8,9},{0,3,5,6,7},{0,3,5,6,8},{0,3,5,6,9},{0,3,5,7,8},{0,3,5,7,9},{0,3,5,8,9},{0,3,6,7,8},{0,3,6,7,9},{0,3,6,8,9},{0,3,7,8,9},{0,4,5,6,7},{0,4,5,6,8},{0,4,5,6,9},{0,4,5,7,8},{0,4,5,7,9},{0,4,5,8,9},{0,4,6,7,8},{0,4,6,7,9},{0,4,6,8,9},{0,4,7,8,9},{0,5,6,7,8},{0,5,6,7,9},{0,5,6,8,9},{0,5,7,8,9},{0,6,7,8,9},{1,2,3,4,5},{1,2,3,4,6},{1,2,3,4,7},{1,2,3,4,8},{1,2,3,4,9},{1,2,3,5,6},{1,2,3,5,7},{1,2,3,5,8},{1,2,3,5,9},{1,2,3,6,7},{1,2,3,6,8},{1,2,3,6,9},{1,2,3,7,8},{1,2,3,7,9},{1,2,3,8,9},{1,2,4,5,6},{1,2,4,5,7},{1,2,4,5,8},{1,2,4,5,9},{1,2,4,6,7},{1,2,4,6,8},{1,2,4,6,9},{1,2,4,7,8},{1,2,4,7,9},{1,2,4,8,9},{1,2,5,6,7},{1,2,5,6,8},{1,2,5,6,9},{1,2,5,7,8},{1,2,5,7,9},{1,2,5,8,9},{1,2,6,7,8},{1,2,6,7,9},{1,2,6,8,9},{1,2,7,8,9},{1,3,4,5,6},{1,3,4,5,7},{1,3,4,5,8},{1,3,4,5,9},{1,3,4,6,7},{1,3,4,6,8},{1,3,4,6,9},{1,3,4,7,8},{1,3,4,7,9},{1,3,4,8,9},{1,3,5,6,7},{1,3,5,6,8},{1,3,5,6,9},{1,3,5,7,8},{1,3,5,7,9},{1,3,5,8,9},{1,3,6,7,8},{1,3,6,7,9},{1,3,6,8,9},{1,3,7,8,9},{1,4,5,6,7},{1,4,5,6,8},{1,4,5,6,9},{1,4,5,7,8},{1,4,5,7,9},{1,4,5,8,9},{1,4,6,7,8},{1,4,6,7,9},{1,4,6,8,9},{1,4,7,8,9},{1,5,6,7,8},{1,5,6,7,9},{1,5,6,8,9},{1,5,7,8,9},{1,6,7,8,9},{2,3,4,5,6},{2,3,4,5,7},{2,3,4,5,8},{2,3,4,5,9},{2,3,4,6,7},{2,3,4,6,8},{2,3,4,6,9},{2,3,4,7,8},{2,3,4,7,9},{2,3,4,8,9},{2,3,5,6,7},{2,3,5,6,8},{2,3,5,6,9},{2,3,5,7,8},{2,3,5,7,9},{2,3,5,8,9},{2,3,6,7,8},{2,3,6,7,9},{2,3,6,8,9},{2,3,7,8,9},{2,4,5,6,7},{2,4,5,6,8},{2,4,5,6,9},{2,4,5,7,8},{2,4,5,7,9},{2,4,5,8,9},{2,4,6,7,8},{2,4,6,7,9},{2,4,6,8,9},{2,4,7,8,9},{2,5,6,7,8},{2,5,6,7,9},{2,5,6,8,9},{2,5,7,8,9},{2,6,7,8,9},{3,4,5,6,7},{3,4,5,6,8},{3,4,5,6,9},{3,4,5,7,8},{3,4,5,7,9},{3,4,5,8,9},{3,4,6,7,8},{3,4,6,7,9},{3,4,6,8,9},{3,4,7,8,9},{3,5,6,7,8},{3,5,6,7,9},{3,5,6,8,9},{3,5,7,8,9},{3,6,7,8,9},{4,5,6,7,8},{4,5,6,7,9},{4,5,6,8,9},{4,5,7,8,9},{4,6,7,8,9},{5,6,7,8,9}} "

that is stored in an object variable.
My question is how to transform the output above(the object variable) in an actual multi dimensional array?
Ex:Dim convertedarray() = convert(myarray)
My second question is how to calculate all arrays from above(myarray) and store the results in in another multi dimensional array for ex: dim myresults = calculate(myarray) to output something like this: myresults = {{10},{11},{etc....}} this is only when i use integer arrays, i dont want to calculate chars one...

A: I've written up a quick example of converting a string to a 2D array, if you know regular expressions you could simplify it a bit more.
But I think you'd find it a lot easier to build it up as you find your combinations.
Also, using lists might be more straightforward, you wont need to calculate a dimension size.
Sub Main()

    Dim Arraystring As String = "{{1,2,3,4,5},{2,3,4,5,1},{3,4,5,1,2}}"

    Dim comboTotal As Integer = 3
    Dim comboSize As Integer = 5
    'Need to know dimension sizes to create 2d array - otherwise use list
    Dim DimensionalArray(comboTotal, comboSize) As Integer

    Console.WriteLine("Initial String: " & Arraystring & vbNewLine)

    'Clean up string into CSV
    Dim subStringList() As String = Arraystring.Split("},")

    For i = 0 To subStringList.Count - 1
        subStringList(i) = subStringList(i).Replace(",{", "")
        subStringList(i) = subStringList(i).Replace("{", "")
        Console.WriteLine(subStringList(i))
    Next

    'Start adding and moving down the array
    For i = 0 To subStringList.Count - 1

        'Count array index
        Dim numCount = 0

        'Read in each number - implictly converted to int
        For Each number In subStringList(i).Split(New String() {","}, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries)
            Console.WriteLine("Adding Value: " & number)
            DimensionalArray(i, numCount) = number

            'Move along the array
            numCount += 1
        Next
    Next

    'Try accessing some elements of the new array
    Console.WriteLine(vbNewLine & "Accessing [0][4]: " & DimensionalArray(0, 4))
    Console.WriteLine("Accessing [1][2]: " & DimensionalArray(1, 2))
    Console.WriteLine("Accessing [2][0]: " & DimensionalArray(2, 0))

    Console.ReadLine()

This week some of us were given the opportunity to play in The Premier League School Tournament organised by Newcastle United Football Club. We donned our kits and boots, hopped on the mini bus (Thanks Mrs Taylor) and with our coach Mrs Robinson we were ready to play some great football! There was 16 teams in the tournament and so we knew that this was going to be a long, hard morning! We had to play against 3 teams in our heat, the team with the highest score was able to progress to the semi final…. WE MADE IT! We reached the semi final but now our goal was to make it to the final. After a very challenging game which even ended up in 3 minutes added time we finally scored the winning goal and as a team soared into the final! After all of our games we were ecstatic to be in the final, we played a great game but unfortunately got pipped at the post by our opponent, final score 1-0. We had a great morning and are really proud of how well we played as a team!
