LiveWire Radio is a locally produced and nationally broadcast radio variety show that is taped live in front of a studio audience at the Alberta Rose Theatre in Portland. It's smart, funny, irrerevent, and an absolute blast to see live. We are sponsors of the show and they invited us in for a peek behind the dial during soundcheck and rehearsal before a recent taping with the incredible Reggie Watts and Michael Kiwanuka. Tt was a kickoff to our partnership and they offered up bottles of Cold Brew to the enrapt crowd.
Since this taping, the inimitable Courtenay Hameister has gracefully stepped down as host after nine years (listen to her goodbye speech here) but she remains on the show as the Head Writer and Co-Producer. The new host is the ever-talented Luke Burbank.
We sat down with the show's Executive Producer and Co-Creator Robyn Tenenbaum for some insight about how the show started, where's it's gone and where it's headed.
You are the executive producer and co-creator of the show. How did it all come together?
Kate Sokoloff (a branding consultant in town) and I began working on the show in February 2003. She approached me with an idea to produce a Portland live radio show that featured the best talent of what Oregon – and the rest of the country – had to offer in terms of people who did fascinating things, great musicians and the occasional oddball, who no one knew about but everyone should.
Kate had been a caller on Car Talk once and that was the extent of her radio experience, but she had the vision of what she wanted to achieve. Her experience was steeped in live theater and she had a lot of great connections around town who helped in the early phases. I had produced West Coast Live in San Francisco for 4 years so I had a working knowledge of the elements needed to get a show on the air.
Courtenay Hameister was working for an advertising firm at that time as a copywriter and helped write and design many of our materials.
Jim Brunberg, our Technical Producer was a musician I had known from San Francisco. He was opening up Mississippi Studios at the time and had the expertise to record a live show and impeccably edit it for the radio.
Ralph Huntley was with his band Klezmocracy, who was the original house band for Live Wire. And Carolyn Lindberg had radio and radio marketing experience. So, it was a strange and wonderful convergence of people all at the same time. I don't use the word 'synchronicity' often but this truly was pure synchronicity.
Early on, we were able to get the attention of the right people at OPB to convince them that we had a great idea and the expertise to execute it, and OPB agreed to air us if we handled the budget and the production of the show, essentially if we stayed independent. Many of the radio shows we hear are started and/or backed by a station, so Live Wire is unique in that we are a completely independent production that airs on OPB.
Who are the show's writers and what is the writing process like?
Courtenay Hameister is our Head Writer and has been since our inception. Currently she works with our other show writers, Sean McGrath and Jason Rouse, as well as with one guest writer from the community each show. In the past 2 years, they have also had the good fortune to work with Bill Oakley (of Simpsons and Portlandia fame). Bill helps them hone their craft of writing as well as the process of how to achieve one's best work.
They meet once a week. The first meeting, they throw out 15 ideas for sketches then discuss and determine which ideas have legs and which to toss. They all write on their own for a week before reconvening and giving feedback to the writer of each sketch. Another draft is hatched before the performers meet. Early in the week of show week, the performers gather for a table read.
Any favorite moments you can recount during a taping?
My most recent favorite moment was bittersweet. Our host of 9 years, Courtenay Hameister, decided to step down as host and continue as Head Writer and Producer of the show. She read a beautiful essay to the live audience on April 20 explaining her reasons why she needed to do so.
As with all of her essays, this one was touching, funny and poignant, not just for Courtenay, but for anyone listening who ever had to make a difficult decision, or anyone who contemplates the role that stress plays in their lives. As she concluded her essay, she was met with the most touching standing ovation I've ever witnessed. It went on for many minutes. Truly touching and a clear picture of how beloved Courtenay is.
What do you think taping in front of a live audience brings to the show?
There's really nothing better than having that energy of a live crowd watching and absorbing what's on stage. The audience plays such a big role in the making of our show as the energy on stage and that energy in the crowd is a continuous loop. They both feed on each other.
Radio is such a great medium but nothing beats a live experience. And we get the best of both worlds. And if we do it just right, you can feel that energy in the room when you are listening to Live Wire on the radio.

Neptune Theatre's Act Two offers diverse stories, musical delights in 2022
Stephen Cooke | Posted: Dec. 6, 2021, 4:49 p.m. | Updated: Dec. 6, 2021, 7:50 p.m. | 4 Min Read
The cast of Neptune Theatre's current production of Alice in Pantoland put a musical comedy spin on a family favourite. On Monday, artistic director Jeremy Webb announced the slate of shows for Act Two of the Halifax theatre company's 2021-2022 season.
After raising the curtain in September for the first time since the start of the pandemic in March, 2020, Halifax's Neptune Theatre revealed Act Two of its 2021-22 season on Monday.
In a Facebook Live streaming announcement, artistic director Jeremy Webb unveiled the five productions that will fill the second half of the theatre's return to live performance, from Jan. 25 to May 29. Local stories, Indigenous perspectives and musical events with a devoted fanbase will fill the playbill for the professional theatre company's Fountain Hall main stage and the Scotiabank Theatre, with tickets now on sale for the Act Two lineup.
"It's a joy to be back," said Webb, who thanked the audience members and patrons who supported the first run of shows including the one-person comedy Fully Committed, the two-hander thriller The Woman in Black, and the two holiday shows currently running on both stages, Dickens' A Christmas Carol and Alice in Pantoland.
Act Two begins on Jan. 25 with the return of Preston-born actor and musician Jeremiah Sparks in Beau Dixon's Beneath Springhill: The Maurice Ruddick Story. Known as "the singing miner", Ruddick was an African-Canadian who was trapped underground for nine days during the 1958 mining disaster, and Sparks tells his story while playing multiple characters and portraying how the event changed the community while highlighting the racial tension that ran through it.
"Even though Ruddick had to deal with racism, it didn't dampen his determination to help his fellow miners," said Sparks during Monday's announcement. "Ruddick's story teaches us that resilience and strength does not have a colour."
Actor and singer Kelly Holliff, who was last seen on the Neptune stage as the nefarious Captain Hook in the 2019 holiday production of Peter Pan, delves into pop music hooks as she pays tribute to one of the most acclaimed performers on the planet with Rumour Has It: The Songbook of Adele. Running Feb. 17 to 19, Holiff devotes her powerful voice to the emotional strength, personal message and down-to-earth personality of the U.K. singer who took the world by storm with her debut album 19 in 2008.
From March 8 to 20, in partnership with Nestuita'si Storytelling, writer and performer shalan joudry takes audiences on a journey through the lives and experiences of generations of Mi'kmaw women in Koqm. Named after an ancient tree in a forest where these women have walked for centuries, the play is directed by Ken Schwartz and features joudry presenting their stories of sorrow, humour and strength with masks and movement developed with the help of Ann-Marie Kerr, Susanne Chui and Sarah Prosper.
"Elders have taught us that the roles of L'nu women have always been integral in our communities," said joudry. "We need to hear more about the strength of our female ancestors, particularly as they responded to the impacts of colonialism."
Samqwan — the Mi'kmaq word for water — is the title of Neptune's May 12 to 15 presentation of a new multi-disciplinary show originally commissioned and produced by Sydney's Highland Arts Theatre. Created and choreographed by Sarah Prosper, Samqwan examines our relationship with and responsibility for the waters that surround us from an Indigenous perspective.
Act Two comes to a close with a visit to the doctor; Dr. Frank-N-Furter, that is, in Richard O'Brien's enduring cult classic The Rocky Horror Show from April 5 to May 29. Originally scheduled for the summer of 2020, the Neptune presentation of the rock 'n' roll sci-fi romp fell into a bit of a time warp thanks to COVID-19, but returns in the spring of 2022 and even has some midnight performances for the dedicated fans who want the full-on interactive Rocky Horror experience.
Webb also revealed that plans are underway to present another highly anticipated show in the summer of 2022, with the production of Billy Elliot: The Musical, and information on dates and ticket sales will be announced in the new year.
"This is our 59th season, for nearly six decades Neptune has been right here on this very street corner," said Webb from Fountain Hall at Argyle and Sackville. "Next season is our 60th anniversary, and I promise you that I will be throwing the biggest party that I'm allowed to plan."
Tickets for Act Two are now on sale at the Neptune Theatre box office, and www.neptunetheatre.com.

It's pretty well known that in the hanging-heist scene in "Mission: Impossible," director Brian DePalma owes much to the '60s caper film "Topkapi" and its '50s French predecessor, "Rafifi."
What even the most die-hard movie fan probably doesn't know, is that the train/helicopter scene from "Mission: Impossible" has been done before, too - and better.
Whether it was the success of Jackie Chan's first major American release, "Rumble in the Bronx," or the desire to capitalize on "Mission: Impossible," that prompted the re-release of Jackie Chan's 1992 Hong Kong action comedy, I don't know. I'm just glad it happened.
Unlike "Eraser," when Arnold Schwarzenegger supposedly is hanging out the door of a 747, Chan is not in a wind tunnel in front of a blue screen - he is dangling from a helicopter. And unlike "Mission: Impossible," that is not a miniature train and helicopter. These are stunts, not special effects.
But they sure are special.
The last 15 minutes alone of "Supercop" are worth the price of admission, a nonstop stuntfest featuring Chan's amazing athleticism and slapstick comic timing. He's Bruce Lee, Schwarzenegger and Harold Lloyd rolled into one.
"Supercop" is actually a better movie than "Rumble in the Bronx." The dubbing is better, the exotic Southeast Asian locales are much improved (Vancouver stood in for New York in "Bronx") and the plot, though it is serviceable at best, is even better. Best of all, Chan gets a pretty co-star, Michelle Khan, who can match him punch for punch.
Jackie Chan plays Kevin Chan, a Hong Kong cop who is assigned to a joint operation with the Communist Chinese to break up a Malaysian heroin ring. His partner is the lovely Chief of Security Yang (Michelle Khan). Part of a running gag about the stiffness and militarism of the mainland is that we never learn her first name. However, that's about as far as the political commentary goes.
Together they go undercover by springing a gangster named Panther (Yuen Wah) - no subtlety here - from a prison camp, and joining up with the grateful thug's gang. Of course, lots of narrow escapes, martial-arts battles and gunplay ensue before a breathless finish that should thrill even the most jaded action fan. Chan is a joy to watch. He's eager to please, and he does. He mugs for the camera, lets his character be afraid and feel pain, and, despite his prowess, comes across as a bit of an everyman. The stunts are done in long takes, leaving little doubt of their authenticity, and makes us wonder if the fear on Chan's face isn't always acting.
As always, you don't want to leave a Jackie Chan movie at the end of the story. The bloopers tacked on to the end are both hilarious and harrowing, showing just how hard this guy works, and that he really does risk life and limb for his craft.


We're Halfway Through the Holiday Party Season - Here's How to Stay Strong on the Nutrition Front!
Do you struggle to maintain your healthy eating regimen during the holiday party season? If so, the good news is that it's halfway over! Don't let all of the gatherings you attend put a damper on what you consume. Here's how you can stay strong and step into 2017 nutritionally strong!
Adequate intake of protein daily, which helps provide a solid foundation for your muscles to build and grow. A good daily goal? Approximately 10-35% of your calorie intake, depending on your height and weight.
Portion size and healthy food choices are just as important as the amount of exercise you build into your day.
Approximately half of your daily calorie intake should come from whole grain carbs.
While we all know you can get calcium from dairy products, there are also other ways to incorporate that into your diet, such as collard greens.
Vitamin B6 is something you also want to be sure to include, since this helps with your immune function.
Of course, salt should be limited and you should try to stay away from refined sugar.

Obama's visit electrifies Ghana
General NewsLead
As the countdown to the arrival of US President Barack Obama enters the home stretch the authorities have stepped up their preparations to give the charismatic US leader a warm Akwaaba.
The ceremonial streets in Accra have been garnished with bill boards bearing the portraits, giant and small, of President John Atta Mills and the US President.
Ceremonial streets, major intersections, national monuments, imposing buildings along major streets, and electricity and telephone poles have all been decorated with either the photographs of the two presidents, or Ghanaian and American national flags.
A tour of the city by the Ghana News Agency has revealed that gradually, the streets are lighting up for the third consecutive historic visit to Ghana by an American President.
Former President Bill Clinton was the first American President to begin "what has now become a tradition," by visiting Ghana in 1998. Ten years later former President George W. Bush continued the strong Ghana/US relations with a visit. Now, President Obama, barely six months after his inauguration, is visiting Ghana, his first to sub-Saharan Africa, to honour Ghana for her strong democratic credentials.
The visit is likely to draw a huge crowd from across the country, more than was the case when former President Clinton visited Ghana.
From the airport into the city centre various corporate institutions and organizations have sponsored billboards showing the smiling faces of both President Mills and Obama.
Some of the organizations competing for recognition along the streets with the portraits of both President Mills and President Obama include Ghana Commercial Bank, Zenith Bank, GLO Ghana, Friends of Obama and Vista 2000.
Fabrics with the portrait of President Obama alone, with the inscription Akwaaba, and others with the first couples of the two countries (President Mills and Naadu; and President Obama and Michelle) went on sale a few weeks ago. A song has also been composed in honour of President Obama, there are souvenir t-shirts, key rings and mugs, among others in town.
Clearly, Ghanaians are excited about the Obama visit, which begins on Friday, July 10.
Details of the official itinerary of the US president are yet to be out but the two leaders are expected to hold bilateral talks on cooperation among other developmental issues.
He will visit the Cape Coast Castle and address a huge outdoor gathering at the Independence Square on Saturday.
Some political analysts say the U.S president's visit comes at a time when relations between the two countries are at an all-time high.
In an interview with Ghana News Agency in Accra, the President of Apinto Traditional Council in the Western Region, Nana Kwabena Angu II, described the visit as a very good marketing opportunity for Ghana.
"It's making me and other traditional leaders feel very proud to be Ghanaians at a time when the U.S president is visiting as the official entry point to Africa," he said.
Nana Angu appealed to President Mills and the Economic Management team to take full advantage of the visit, saying "apart from the fanfare, I would expect that they would discuss several things".
"As you know relations between the United States and Ghana are at what I will call an all-time high. There are a lot of initiatives by the U.S., which are geared towards Africa's development, and we're poised to take advantage of them."
The White House has also described the visit to Ghana as a means to strengthen its relations with "one of our most trusted partners," whiles the Ghanaian Government described it as historic and significant in all dimensions.
Mrs Juliana Azumah-Mensah, Minister of Tourism, has noted that President Obama's visit presented a chance in a lifetime to push tourism to the third highest foreign exchange earner for the country.
She told journalists in Accra that last year's earnings from tourism stood at US$1.4 billion, placing fourth to cocoa, gold and remittances.
"But with Barrack Obama's visit and other tourism activities in the pipeline this year, the sector is expected to generate between 16 to 20 per cent more revenue than it did last year and thereby take its rightful place as the third highest foreign exchange earner," she said.
She said President Obama's visit promised to give the world a glimpse of Ghana's golden culture through the eyes of the 300 international journalists coming to cover the visit.
"Our heritage and culture tourism resource will be given a massive publicity worldwide so Ghana must take advantage of it and hang out all her best wares to be captured by the cameras," she said.
Mrs Azumah-Mensah urged players in the domestic tourism industry to highlight the tourism opportunities that exist in Ghana to enhance domestic earnings for economic growth.

Robert MacKinnon is an ex-RCMP officer, an armchair historian, and a world-renowned maritime salver and treasure hunter. Blood and & Salt captivates readers with more of Robert's tales of shipwrecks, buried treasure, unscrupulous privateers and lost villages. But that's not all. Blood & Salt also explores Robert's own intriguing Highland Scots heritage as a member of Clan MacKinnon. This affords him a deep connection to monumental historic events such as the Highland Clearances and the Battle of Culloden, as well as a direct blood relationship to Donald 1st, 7th century King of the Picts,and a Norse princess known as Saucy Mary.
This eclectic collection of stories shares with readers many other aspects of Robert's professional and personal experience. He tells a chilling story of being the first RCMP officer at the crash site of Air Canada Flight 621 in 1970, arriving to find the DC-8 and all of its 109 passengers and crew disintegrated beyond recognition. Another tale reveals Robert's long-time association with Frenchie, a Mi'kmaw man who gives him, and readers, an up-close-and-personal lesson in Mi'kmaw traditions and legends. And true to his nature, Robert presents readers with his own deeply held views on a variety of topics, like unfair maritime law, government bureaucracy and Cape Breton independence.
And in case you're not already hooked, Blood & Salt revives the age-old debate: Was Captain Kidd really a visitor to the Mira River?
Ex-RCMP office Robert MacKinnon weaves together an ecclectic collection of stories based on personal and professional experiences with a dash of local history for spice. At the heart of it is great storytelling, beginning with a chilling tale of being the first officer on the scene of a plane crash when Air Canada Flight 621 went down in 1970 and completely disintegrated, along with passenger and crew. MacKinnon writes with equal confidence of close friendships and the lessons they hold, adventures in scuba diving for shipwrecks and ancient underwater treasures, and pirate diplomacy in the modern world.

Black unemployment falls to second-lowest level
Black unemployment falls to second-lowest level on record in February
by Joseph Lawler | Mar 9, 2018, 8:52 AM
The unemployment rate for black Americans fell back down to an historic low in February, after spiking up in January.
Just 6.9 percent of black adults were unemployed in February, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the second-lowest such ratio since the agency has been keeping track.
The low mark was set in December, at 6.8 percent. Then, the rate spiked to 7.7 percent, but that increase proved short-lived.
President Trump has touted the fact that black unemployment has dipped so low on his watch, including during his State of the Union address.
When the black jobless rate hit the record low in January, though, the NAACP gave credit to the long-running recovery that began under former President Barack Obama, rather than to Trump specifically, and noted that blacks still suffer much higher rates of unemployment than whites.
Nevertheless, the recovery has also shrunk the unemployment gap between black and white Americans.
Hispanic workers, too, are currently enjoying historically low rates of unemployment. At 4.9 percent in February, Hispanic unemployment is just a tenth of a percentage point above the historic low.

Mercedes-AMG A 45 S 4MATIC+ in Mountain gray Driving Video
AutomotoTV
Outstanding performance, the ultimate driving dynamics, expressive design - the new Mercedes-AMG compact A45 4MATIC+/A45 S 4MATIC+ sports cars and CLA45 4MATIC+/CLA45 S 4MATIC+ reassert their leading positions in their segments. They seamlessly continue the success story of their predecessors, while setting numerous new standards. Available in two output and torque variants, the completely newly developed 2.0-litre engine is the world's most powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engine in manufactured for series production. Even the basic model with 285 kW (387 hp) is more powerful than its predecessor. The S-variant with 310 kW (421 hp) jostles with considerably higher vehicle classes. Perfect sequences in all driving situations, and fast gearshifts measured in milliseconds, are guaranteed by the new AMG SPEEDSHIFT DCT-8G dual-clutch transmission with eight gears. The active, fully-variable AMG Performance 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive distributes the power to the rear axle wheel-selectively by AMG TORQUE CONTROL - for top traction and the spectacular Drift mode. This is made possible by a new rear axle differential featuring two multidisc clutches - one for each rear wheel. With its new compact sports models Mercedes-AMG is demonstrating its high competence in development once again: "We have completely redesigned our "45" models - from the engine and transmission through the chassis, the elaborately constructed drivetrain to the body structure and of course the design itself - all with one goal: to raise vehicle dynamics and the sporty driving experience to a level previously unimaginable in the compact class. With the presentation of this, our most powerful and most dynamic compact sports car, we are also reinforcing the significance of this segment for our growth strategy", says Tobias Moers, Chairman of the Management Board of Mercedes-AMG GmbH.

Technical Abstract: Since feed cost represents about 70% of production cost, inexpensive protein alternatives are desirable replacements for fish meal. One drawback to the replacement of fish meal with soybean meal is that the latter protein source is first limiting in lysine. To investigate if different genetic lines of fish would respond differently to a lysine-deficient (LD) diet, five families with high feed efficiency and 5 with low feed efficiency were studied. These 10 families were fed a LD, soybean meal containing, diet. The highest and lowest feed efficiency families also received a lysine-adequate (LA) diet as a positive control. For each diet x family treatment combination, 5 replicates were used. Feed efficiency and thermal growth coefficient were greater (P<0.05) while hepatic somatic index (HSI) and ammonia excretion were lower (P<0.05) for fish fed the LA diet. There was a family effect on feed efficiency (P<0.0001) and thermal growth coefficient (P<0.0001), but not ammonia excretion, HSI, or indices of lysine catabolism. A single family had a numerically more favorable feed efficiency and thermal growth coefficient, when fed the LD diet, indicating that it may possess an enhanced genetic potential for performance when consuming lysine-deficient, soybean meal containing diets.

Q: Connecting Python to MSSQL using Pymssql I'm having an issue connecting a live system to a new MSSQL database instance through Pymssql. I've no problem connecting to the previous old instance, but when I change the connection string to the new one and reload my code in apache I get the following authentication error:
sqlalchemy.exc.OperationalError: (pymssql.OperationalError) (18456, "Login failed for user '*****'.DB-Lib error message 20018, severity 14:\nGeneral SQL Server error: Check messages from the SQL Server\nDB-Lib error message 20002, severity 9:\nAdaptive Server connection failed (*********************)\n")

The problem is, the exact same connection (with the same login details) works fine locally. I can login and access the new database instance  through Pymssql with no issues. I'm assuming my FreeTD's are up to date as well seeing as I can connect fine to the old instance.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as to why the new connection won't work for the live system.

A: Ok so the issue was that pymssql has an upper password limit of 30 characters. My new instance connection password exceeded this. Just in case anybody has the same problem.

Board of Directors' Fiduciary Duty to Shareholders
Shelagh Donnelly
While they may not understand the nuances of your role as a corporate secretary or other governance professional, your colleagues and acquaintances likely do appreciate that your contributions are held to a particularly high standard. After all, the expectations people have of your performance are consistent with the evolution of governance practices ' and, therefore, with the expectations of individual directors and your board as a whole.
Just as your board will undertake succession planning with an eye to independence, integrity and ethics alongside expertise, diversity and commitment, your directors should have done their own due diligence before joining the board. One primary consideration? Director nominees need to understand their fiduciary duty to shareholders.
This is where a good governance professional plays a role in risk management that benefits the organization as well as individual directors and the board. It would be imprudent to assume that an incoming director is well versed in her or his fiduciary duty to shareholders. That will hopefully be the case, but the onus is on the organization (you) to ensure that such fiduciary duties are documented, discussed and understood.
For experienced directors, the need for discussion may be minimal, as fiduciary duties will ideally be well engrained and honored. You'll want to remember, though, that board recruitment trends are also changing ' even if ever so modestly. The 2018 United States Spencer Stuart Board Index, reported that 22% of S&P 500 boards added two or more new directors during the 2018 proxy year. A total of 428 new independent directors began serving on S&P 500 boards in 2018, and these directorships represent the first such public company board experience for a third of those individuals.
Only 35.5% of 2018's 428 new S&P 500 directors are active or retired CEOs, chairs, vice chairs, presidents or COOs. In fact, 17% of this 'class of 2018' were 50 years or younger upon selection and more than a third of them brought technology or telecommunications sector qualifications to their respective boardrooms. Spencer Stuart identified technology experience, digital experience and then social media as the three top skills or qualifications these younger directors brought to their new boards.
Spencer Stuart's findings serve as a reminder of the significance of effective onboarding practices. You need to ensure that your new directors understand governance and their fiduciary duty to shareholders. Ideally, this knowledge will be confirmed, acquired or honed as part of the recruitment process and not after the fact.
How would you describe fiduciary duty to a novice nominee? In Canada, you might begin with a discussion of the Canada Business Corporations Act (CBCA). Incoming directors should take responsibility for familiarizing themselves with the legislation and its requirement that they conduct themselves with loyalty as they consistently monitor the corporation's business and affairs. Fiduciary duty requires that directors also conduct themselves in good faith and with honesty. Directors must set aside their personal interests in order to safeguard and act in the best interests of the corporation, and they are not to disclose or misuse confidential or 'inside' information.
Consistent with legislation in other countries, directors are not to appropriate or otherwise take advantage of opportunities associated with or belonging to the corporation. A director is expected to disclose any conflict of interest (professional or otherwise) that may arise, and then abstain from both discussion and voting on the matter under consideration.
The CBCA specifically charges directors with the duty to manage. Legislation states, 'Subject to any unanimous shareholder agreement, the directors shall manage, or supervise the management of, the business and affairs of a corporation.' The same legislation identifies some limitations on authority.
It's reasonable for shareholders to expect directors to understand and honor duty of care as a core governance principle. Legislation requires that every director and officer of a corporation 'exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent individual would exercise in comparable circumstances'. Canadian directors also need to be aware of expectations and regulations established by provincial and territorial securities regulators and their national body, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA).
If you're preparing to discuss fiduciary duty to shareholders with a novice nominee for the board of a U.S. corporation, the legislation and regulations will differ, but there are consistencies in terms of what's expected. Directors have a responsibility to familiarize themselves with relevant legislation and regulations, and legislation stipulates that directors have a fiduciary responsibility to oversee the business and affairs of a company. Directors are responsible for organizational oversight and must acquit themselves in a manner that meets expectations associated with their duties of loyalty, care and obedience.
Directors must act in good faith and in the best interests of their corporations. Duty of loyalty requires that a director prioritize the interests of the corporation and not only its shareholders, but also its stakeholders, over personal interests. There's also risk management.
In her 2014 remarks to the Twentieth Annual Stanford Directors' College at the Stanford University Rock Center for Corporate Governance, then-Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Mary Jo White posited that a company's directors are its essential and most important gatekeepers. She spoke to directors' roles in oversight and in 'preventing, detecting, and stopping violations of the federal securities laws' at their companies, and responding to problems that occur.
Duty of care mandates that directors apply objectivity and reasonable standards of skill and care that any prudent person would exercise in the fulfillment of their responsibilities. Duty of obedience reflects compliance requirements. Directors are expected to ensure that not only their personal actions, but also those of the corporation, comply with regulations and with local, state and federal legislation.
Importance of Succession Planning
Effective succession planning supports another of your board's duties, that of building and maintaining an independent, qualified and diverse board.
Annual audit reports provide shareholders with transparent and accurate insights on the corporation's financial position, and it's the board's responsibility to ensure that such audits are completed by independent parties in a timely manner.
Some duties span borders. As a governance professional, and wherever you're based, you know that your board of directors has a duty to maintain the minutes of its meetings and make them accessible in a timely manner to directors ' and, as appropriate, to shareholders. Minutes serve as evidence of a meeting having been held, what was done and who was present.
Whatever your jurisdiction, your board can benefit from enterprise governance management (EGM), the application of technical tools and resources to meet your governance needs. Diligent Corporation's Governance Cloud provides an innovative range of governance software solutions that includes agenda package and minutes software, secure messaging, D&O questionnaires and more. You and your board can tap into an array of resources that support effective board operations ' and those tech-savvy Next-Gen directors your board wants to recruit will find your board all the more appealing for all the efficiencies and security Diligent affords your board.

Q: Initializing array of Objects in C++ Composition I wanted to design a composition using C++ as shown below:
#define NUMBER (4)

class wheel {
    int radius;
public:
    wheel();
    wheel(int);
    //copy constructors prototype
    //getters and setters prototypes
};

wheel::wheel() : radius(1) {}
wheel::wheel(int r) : radius(r) {}
//wheel class copy constructor definition
//wheel class setter and getter definitions

class car {
    wheel fourwheels[NUMBER];
public:
    car();
};

car::car() {
    fourwheels[NUMBER] = {wheel(1), wheel(1), wheel(1), wheel(1)};            //error code
    //wheel fourwheels[NUMBER] = {wheel(1), wheel(1), wheel(1), wheel(1)};    //non-error code
}

int main() {
    car mycar;
    return 0;
}

While compiling the code, I am getting the following error:
error: no match for 'operator=' (operand types are 'wheel' and '<brace-enclosed initializer list>')

Queries:

*

*Why does this error occur ??

*When I comment the error code line and uncomment the non-error code line, it works fine. Why do we have to add the type wheel for the array definition?

A: You are attempting to assign to an array element. And one that's out of range at that.
Using the constructor's initializer list, this will compile, though you should consider using STL containers rather than a raw array.
car::car() : fourwheels{wheel(1), wheel(1), wheel(1), wheel(1)}
{
}

The code you had commented out "worked" because it declared and initialized a new array of four wheels.
Since the default constructor for wheel provides a radius of 1, you could also write:
car::car() : fourwheels{wheel(), wheel(), wheel(), wheel()}
{
}

But, if we used std::array to hold our wheels, we can simplify this further, as the elements of fourwheels will be initialized using the wheel type's default constructor, which we don't have to write.
class car {
    std::array<wheel, NUMBER> fourwheels;
};

A:
Why does this error occur ??

Raw arrays are not copy-assignable.  That is, the following will not work:
int nums[4] = {};
nums = {1, 2, 3, 4};

That is essentially what you're trying to do in your car constructor.  Instead, you need to initialize the fourwheels member in the member initialization list:
car::car()
  : fourwheels{wheel(1), wheel(1), wheel(1), wheel(1)}
{}

When I comment the error code line and uncomment the non-error code line, it works fine. Why do we have to add the type wheel for the array definition ??

Because you're not initializing your car class's member there.  You're declaring and initializing a different array, also named fourwheels that is local to the constructor body.  The class member remains default-initialized.

Will Boris bother with climate debate?
| 26th November 2019
Boris Johnson to be 'empty chaired' during hour-long Emergency On Planet Earth debate on Channel 4 News this Thursday.
This Thursday's climate debate is a monumental moment in an election campaign.
The Prime Minister could be "empty-chaired" during a televised climate change debate on Thursday.
Boris Johnson and Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage have yet to respond to a request to attend the hour-long Emergency On Planet Earth debate on Channel 4 News, which will focus solely on climate change.
The broadcaster said the debate will take place even if they are unable to take up the invitation.
Channel 4 has invited seven party leaders to the discussion, but so far only Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, Scottish First Minister and SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon, Liberal Democrat leader Jo Swinson and Green co-leader Sian Berry have accepted the invitation.
Rebecca Newsom, head of politics at Greenpeace UK, said if the Prime Minister fails to attend the debate it would show the Tories "aren't taking the climate crisis seriously enough".
She added: "This Thursday's climate debate is a monumental moment in an election campaign that should have the climate and nature emergencies at its heart.
"The pitiful 45 seconds given to the topic in the last head-to-head was an absolute joke. And while Boris Johnson acknowledged that the climate emergency is a colossal issue for the entire world, his failure to commit to this 'oven-ready' climate debate raises question marks over his sincerity.
"An empty chair on Thursday night would confirm his party aren't taking the climate crisis seriously enough.
"The Prime Minister cannot afford to run scared of public scrutiny on the defining issue of our generation. This is a test of leadership anyone wishing to run the country must pass."
Ben de Pear, editor of Channel 4 News, said: "There is no more urgent issue facing the planet and we are delighted to open the whole of our programme for all the party leaders to show what plans they have to confront it."
Presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy added: "It is a huge privilege to be hosting the people who want to run the country debating the most important issue in the world.
"How much do we need to change the way we live? Is it the end of fast fashion, fast cars, foreign holidays and red meat? Do any of them have a credible plan to cut our net emissions to zero?"
The debate will take place on Thursday at 7pm and will begin with a short opening statement from each leader.
George Ryan is the PA political reporter.

I ate a $15 piece of lasagne today, at Marcello on Commercial Drive. But damn it was good. Now I know what lasagne is supposed to taste like. I didn't know before.
Dinner: frozen pizza. I've cooked enough lately! (Two days in a row!) And I double-baked my leftover chocolate soufflé for dessert. It occurred to me that I could have made some chocolate sauce and whipped cream to accompany and it would have been amazing. But it also occurred to me that I could just eat it, and be quite happy.


For me, and many other soon-to-be graduates that I've talked to, senior year has turned out to be way more stressful and less "college" than expected. When catching up with an old friend recently, I said I wished I had prepared more for this year and paid more attention to my career goals, etc. throughout college. However, she said she's glad she was able to live her underclassman years with a carefree attitude and certain oblivion that has begun to disappear as graduation approaches. I completely agree; last year when I thought about graduation, I looked at it as a faraway place I wanted to avoid for as long as possible. I thought senior year would be full of reminiscing, having fun and dreading my life after. Although the stress that comes with entering the real world is unpleasant at times, I feel ready for it, and am looking forward to the next stage of my life. My advice to the underclassmen who are still living in the somewhat carefree oblivion of college- enjoy it while it lasts. To those who feel the wave of maturity beginning to hit- doesn't it feel surprisingly nice?
Applying to jobs takes a lot of time, hard work and planning, but setting goals for yourself and recognizing the rewards of your actions is very satisfying. Working on my resume, cover letter or researching different PR firms is actually enjoyable to me now. Every time I post something on Twitter that's career related I feel a sense of accomplishment. What's even more revealing of my growth as a soon-to-be PR professional is that I truly enjoy my internship projects. When I interned during the summer after my freshman year, and even after my sophomore year, I avoided working extra hours and probably did the minimum of what was expected. Now, interning at Maier & Warner PR/Marketing, I like going into the office, accomplishing tasks, taking on challenging projects and learning from the experienced professionals I'm surrounded by. Thankfully, I know I chose a career path that is going to suit me well.
To summarize, I'd rather spend the day getting my life together (aka meeting PR professionals, editing my writing samples, or beefing up my resume) than sitting around watching Teen Mom. I'm assuming this means reality has set in and the façade of college is wearing off- just on time. It is honestly a relief that my natural ambition has set in, and I'm looking forward to life after college.
Unfortunately, it's a little late in the game to have just started a blog, but writing for The Black Sheep publication kind of delayed my Word Press creation. However, as my job search continues, and I take on spring semester and an interesting digital internship before graduation, I hope to blog about relevant topics that will reveal my passions as I enter the real world.

Spider-Man No Way Home: Why there are those five villains and not the Sinister Six
Back in 2014, Andrew Garfield's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 was released and featured a cliff-hanger ending. A defeated and imprisoned Harry Osborn's Green Goblin was looking to form a team against the Web Slinger. The other five teased by their suits on display and the end credits were Doc Ock, Vulture, Rhino, Kraven the Hunter and Mysterio.
However, The Amazing Spider-Man 3 never happened and Peter Parker was rebooted for the MCU after Sony's groundbreaking deal with Disney.
Tom Holland debuted in Captain America: Civil War before getting his first solo outing in the Marvel Studios franchise with Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Michael Keaton's Vulture was the main villain in that blockbuster, however, the end credits scene with him teased another go at the Sinister Six for Sony.
Just before he approaches Scorpion, six birds were seen flying over the window, presumably teasing the team of Spidey's nemeses.

Spider-Man No Way Home reviews: Here's when the embargo finally lifts
Two years later and Jake Gyllenhaal's Mysterio was the big bad in Spider-Man: Far From Home.
And next month Holland's back for his third solo movie in Spider-Man: No Way Home. which has an incredible five villains.
But this time, rather than recasting for the third reboot of their franchise, Sony have brought back actors who played these baddies in previous movies.
They are Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin, Alfred Molina's Doc Ock, Thomas Haden Church's Sandman, Rhys Ifans' Lizard and Jamie Foxx's Electro.

The three Spider-Man actors (Image: SONY)
Since the second Spider-Man: No Way Home trailer released fans have been wondering where the sixth member of the Sinister Six is.
Perhaps it will be Keaton's Vulture, or Gyllenhaal's Mysterio having faked his death?
Or maybe even Tom Hardy's Venom, given that he was transported to the MCU in the end credits scene of Venom: Let There Be Carnage?
But by the looks of things and given what's heard on the rumour mill, Spider-Man: No Way Home won't introduce the Sinister Six just yet.

Spider-Man No Way Home: Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker spotted on merch [TOBEY MAGUIRE]
Tom Holland teases 'brutal, dark and sad' Spider-Man No Way Home [TOM HOLLAND]
No, the reason there are five villains and specifically these five from across the Marvel multiverse, is particularly significant.
Prior to Holland's MCU movies, there were five Sony outings for the Web Slinger in Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, Spider-Man 2 and Spider-Man 3 and Andrew Garfield's The Amazing Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Surely it's no coincidence then, that the five villains returning from their movies in Spider-Man: No Way Home are ones from each of those outings.
Green Goblin was in Spider-Man, Doc Ock in Spider-Man 2, Sandman in Spider-Man 3, Lizard in The Amazing Spider-Man and Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
Upcoming Marvel releases (Image: EXPRESS)
Now if the rumours are to be believed, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's incarnations will be joining Holland's Web Slinger against these five villains in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
So if anything, those five baddies and the two Peter Parker variants will be a nostalgic callback to Sony's previous movies.
As for the Sinister Six, the studio have their own non-MCU villain solo movies like Hardy's Venom, Jared Leto's Morbius and the upcoming Kraven the Hunter with Aaron Taylor-Johnson. But with Eddie Brock now in the MCU, surely the others will follow.
And if rumours among the insiders on Twitter are to be believed, it's these baddies who will go on to form a Sinister Six in Holland's second Spider-Man trilogy.

The Yacht Regatta. For the first time on the Ljubljanica river. About 40 members under the age of 15 years have already registered for this event. One third of them are girls.
Ljubljana. For already one week, the Ljubljanica River is full of yachts like a sea. The yachts come here each afternoon and cover the space from the Prulsk Bridge to the Trnovski Quay. Every day young sailors take their yachts to this place waiting for the start of doubles regatta, which is the first competition of such kind on the Ljubljanica River.
The event, which will take place in the framework of the Razgibajmo Ljubljano project, is organized by Jadralni klub Ljubljana and Zveza Športnih društev Krim and sponsored by Jadralne zveze Slovenije, and will be held between Špica and Trnovski pristan. It will be especially beautiful starting from 1:45 PM, when the serial group performances of young yachtsmen will be held. About 40 members under the age of 15 years have already registered for this event. One third of them are girls, and two-thirds are boys. The national team of Slovenia has also confirmed its participation. The team usually takes part in the World's and European championships and consists of ten boys and girls.
The trainings on the eve of the competition are held under the auspices of Jadralnega kluba Ljubljana. Its chair, Tomaz Virnik, says that in such a way they wanted to check whether it would be possible to organize a regatta in Ljubljana, which, as he mentions, has never been held on the Ljubljanica River. The nearest to Ljubljana regatta was carried out previously on the Zbiljsk Lake.
The trainings held on the Ljubljanica River confirmed that this city river could still be interesting for the lovers of yachting sport. The club members develop their yachts management skills on this river for practical reasons, because since 1949, they have their office in Ljubljana, Livada, 31, and in the midst of the working week the Ljubljanica river is the nearest suitable water venue for conducting a yacht competition.

Ian Campbell Thomas, singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, actor (born 23 July 1950 in Hamilton, ON).
Ian Campbell Thomas, singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer, actor (born 23 July 1950 in Hamilton, ON). A Juno Award-winning singer-songwriter, Ian Thomas is best known for the hit single "Painted Ladies" (1973), and for his role as Dougie Franklin in the first six seasons of Steve Smith's cult TV program The Red Green Show (1991–2006).
Recording Career
Thomas began his career as a member 1969–71 of the rock band Tranquility Base (the pop group-in-residence 1970–71 with the Hamilton Philharmonic). As a CBC producer 1972–74 in Toronto, Thomas was responsible for the radio program National Rock Works and for CBC LM-series recordings by more than 20 performers, including Bearfoot, Bim (Roy Forbes) and Cal Dodd. He produced commercially released recordings by James Leroy, D'Arcy Wickham and others. Throughout his career he has also written, produced and performed many jingles.
His debut album, Ian Thomas (1973, GRT 9230-1037), included the song "Painted Ladies," which was popular in Canada and the Unites States. Five albums followed 1974–79 for GRT: Long Long Way (1974, 9230-1044), Delights (1975, 9230-1054), Calabash (1976, 9230-1063), Still Here (1978, 9230-1067), and Glider (1979, 9230-1082). Thomas received a Juno Award in 1974 for Most Promising Male Vocalist and was active in clubs, concerts and on TV in Canada. He toured in the United States in the 1970s. He retired for a time from live performance in 1981 but maintained, through subsequent recordings, his reputation as one of the better craftspeople in Canadian pop.
On the demise of GRT, The Best of Ian Thomas (1980, ANR-1-1024) was compiled by Anthem Records, which continued with The Runner (1981, ANR-1-1032), Riders on Dark Horses (1984, ANR-1-1044), and Add Water (1985, ANR-1-1047). His 11th album, Levity (1988, WEA CD-55556), was followed by What We Do (1991, WEA CD-74515), which introduced the Boomers: Thomas, guitarist Bill Dillon, bass guitarist Peter Cardinali and drummer Rick Gratton. The band, which was particularly successful in Germany, recorded three more albums by 2002.
Other popular Ian Thomas singles include "Liars" (1976, from Calabash); "Coming Home" (1978, from Still Here); "Hold On" and "Chains" (1981, from The Runner); and "Levity" (1988, from Levity).
Covers by Other Artists
"Hold On" was an international hit in 1982 for the American band Santana, and "Runner" in 1984 for the British group Manfred Mann's Earth Band. Other Thomas songs have been recorded by Anne Murray ("Good Again"); Bette Midler ("To Comfort You"); the US groups America and Chicago; Germany's Lineman; and the Australian singers Daryl Braithwaite and John Stevens. In 1994, Ian Thomas received SOCAN Classic Awards for "Painted Ladies," "Right Before Your Eyes," and "Hold On;" his "You've Got to Know" (recorded by The Boomers) was SOCAN's most popular Canadian song of 1993.
Other Pursuits
Ian Thomas began touring with the revue Lunch at Allen's (Murray McLauchlan, Marc Jordan, Cindy Church) in 2004 and has also performed with his brother, comedian Dave Thomas. He has written scores for film and TV. As an actor, he was seen regularly on TV's The Red Green Show (see Steve Smith). He was president of the Songwriters Association of Canada 1998–2000. He has also written two novels: Bequest (2006) and The Lost Chord (2008).

Can Coffee and Pain Relievers Cure Alcohol Hangover?
The sun is up high in the sky greeting you a happy morning but you have a hard time waking up and getting out of bed. You feel dizzy and head is achy. It feels like your on a never ending roller coaster ride. Eyes are painted red and the eye soundings are painted with black, red eyes with black eye. Muscles seem not to follow what you want cause they do not have the enough energy to do so.
Going back what happened the night before: Your dearest friend with five of the others got a celebration, it was your birthday. You and your friends were able to take down ten cases of San Miguel beer Grande and one box of Ginebra Gin. The feeling of hangover above is the result of this alcoholic celebration.
As human take alcohol, it strips out moisture from all over the body, from head to toe. Alcohol is diuretic, it promotes the expulsion of body fluids. The liver threat alcohol as toxin, so it will work hard to take it out. The more alcohol taken, the more we pee. This explains why an alcohol addicts can manage to persist a drinking session from morning till overnight and drink again the next day.
Alcohol is diuretic so it causes dehydration. It strips out the body not only water but also nutrients. In drinking session, pulutan or munchies are needed to replenish the body of stripped carbohydrates. The water from the brain are also drained out, this results to head ache, dizziness and lack of mind-body coordination.
The ultimate cure for hangover is not to drink alcoholic beverages at all. On the contrary, some take coffee or pain relievers as cure for their hangovers. Can these two really cure hangover?
Coffee may cure hangover by its masking effects. Remember that it can make you work overtime even if you are already tired. However, coffee is also a diuretic and may lead to further dehydration. The effect may be worst when coffee effect is lost.
Pain relievers like paracetamol, ibuprofen and planax may also work. Before taking this drug, please be reminded that these never take out the pain and the feeling of dizziness or whatsoever, it only make your body not to feel such disorders. The night before, your liver worked hard to excrete a lot of alcohol. Taking pain relievers is also giving your liver an extra job to do.
Some recommend to drink more water to rehydrate or take organic honey, raw eggs and vegemite.


Mindbook, an alternative social media where, complex music & pattern effects are generated for delivering the true message of the mind, nullify misunderstanding (AntaraTomo): In most of the cases we are not able to convey message properly, but if a music accompany the message, that contains all hidden feelings into it and treat us like an unique synesthetic patient? What if from my posts in Mindbook it creates a music and that evaluates the higher level conscience that "I" worship inside me without me knowing it.
Experimental verification of global consciousness: We would like to verify panpsychism theory, and the theory of vedic consciousness whether it is a truth or fake. Since we can generate the frequency wheel of any complex system, we would like to generate a such data via a social platform "MindBook". We would like to study (a) geomagnetic oscillation (b) consciousness index of the users (c) if possible executing 24 satellite based experiment to check certain delay experiment whih would be sent to the far distant skies for "gravitational 3D gradient measurement".
Uploading the human consciousness to a machine and live forever: If the theory of frequency wheel that we have measured is right and we can do something great with this wheel, then, for every person we need to build a map of his or her rhythms throughout his or her life. Secondly we need a map of global consciousness of large number of humans simultaneously. These two kinds of frequency wheels automatically get created when people would use the Mindbook.
Construction of a Robot Brain that explores the complexity of the universe: We have described in the Robot Brain page how do we want to create this particular AjoChhand n.0 artificial brain systems. Now, we would like to fill the detailed information structures of the human brain very rapidly from the MindBook data. The information of the structures will be free for the entire humanity to use. This is exactly in line with the global database of the biological rhythm creation.
Triggering the human consciousness to the next level: A human brain faces severe complex issues, in society, in life, but more and more time is passing by it is becoming clear that humans are born alone, die alone. The reason of most pain is disillusion due to greed and other lower level passions. There needs a critical analytics that would 24X7 monitor of consciousness level over a humans entire life while he/she interacts, help them to improve following the synchronicity parameters of the frequency wheel.
Understanding the effect of emotions loves and global impact: Our protocol could measure the effect of our speech, how a positive and a negative news impacts life of every single conscious life in the world. We will see its effects studying anything that is alive and apparently non-living yet exhibits complex dynamics. The idea is eventually to estimate every single parameter that unconsciously change us and making an attempt whether ever we would be able to become a free human one day.
Learning the right expression: building and optimizing the language of the universe: thought we have created a language based on music and geometry, however, we need to optimize that and using MindBook we will try to create music for the every single message, which would send the emotional code attached to the message. This would help us to auto-correct modify and improve the code in an extremely beautiful manner. Expression of inner feelings honestly has been the greatest deadlock and we want to solve that for ever.
Identifying the science of mantra: Is there any healing powers of nice words: We often say that nice words heals. There has been a hypothesis that nice words have a grammar and that if applied properly affects the evolution of consciousness. We have been studying the Vedic perspective on this aspect, because they did the research on this and also tribals all over the world for thousands of years. We want to see whether these are just nonsense or there is any reality. Most importantly across the globe, are these "mantra" correct? Do they tell us the right message? We would like to extract from the MindBook database bad and the good mantra, so that we could decrease the bad. Or every mantra has a good and a bad aspect to it.
Online 24X7 health prediction: Can our expressions give early indication of health degradations?
The genetic diversity and the consciousness diversity: Are they related, could they be studied such that we can predict about how consciousness is connected to the genes or our frequency wheel protocol wherein several components contribute fundamentally in various ways is the way to go forward.
Monitoring the unified life forms existence including humans and nature and trees: Are the people of the world connected to nature we will include animals and plants and all life form's vibrational expressions, because our geometric musical language allows us to monitor every single life form's activities under the singular high bandwidth resonance chain. Therefore, it will be for the humans in the beginning but would extend to every single life forms.

Q: Regular Expression that needs to match three exact digits in a four digit number The regular expression that I am trying to create should match all numbers that contain three '8's in any 4 digit number. The regular expression that I have only matches the first 10 numbers out of the list of 15 numbers.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
\b[0-9]*(?:8[0-9]*[0-9]?8|8[0-9]*[0-9]?8|8[0-9]*[0-9]?8)\b

Test data:
8088 8188 8288 8388 8488 8808 8818 8828 8838 8848 8880 8881 8882 8883 8884

The last five numbers should also match, but don't.

A: You can use
\b(?=\d{4}\b)(?:[0-79]*8){3}[0-79]*\b

See the regex demo.
Details:

*

*\b - a word boundary

*(?=\d{4}\b) - there must be 4 digits immediately on the right and they should be followed with a word boundary

*(?:[0-79]*8){3} - three occurrences of any 0 or more digits but 8 and then 8

*[0-79]* - any 0 or more digits but 8

*\b - word boundary.

A: If it's guaranteed that the number is a four-digit number, then you can try the following:
\b8*[0-79]8*\b

To analyze what each part matches, you can check using,
\b(8*)[0-79](8*)\b

A: \b(\d?8{3}\d?)\b

*

*this makes the first and last digit in the word bound optional, use
either ? or {0,1}

*add quantifier to your eight to have exactly
number of eights you need {3}

*replace [0-9] with \d as
Digit for brewity

*supposed you have only numbers of length 4. Otherwise use an alternative without optional digits: \b(\d8{3}|8{3}\d)\b

A: This should do it. This will match any of the 4 patterns.
([\d888]|[8\d88]|[88\d8]|[888\d])

You may want to add a check for the delimiter (in your example the space) as this pattern will match across the spaces giving you many more results

Identity and belonging; twenty first century architecture for a town that's as old as the hills
Architect and broadcaster Piers Taylor, who has been appointed to create designs for Watchet's East Quay, writes about the things that inspire him, and the need for buildings to reflect the identity of their surroundings:
We're at the beginning of a remarkable journey with Watchet, with the redevelopment of the East Quay. More than anything, it is essential that any new buildings here wear their principles on their sleeves and engage with Watchet in such a way that they form an essential, vital and meaningful part of an already compelling town.
I remember driving the great Pritzker Prize winning Australian architect Glenn Murcutt through the Cotswolds a few years back, and hearing him describe how formative that landscape had been for him when he'd visited in the early 1960s. He talked of the extraordinary continuity of material that created the sense of place, and reminded me how effortlessly and intelligently the buildings adapted and responded to landscape. Murcutt also described to me how the landscape of the Cotswolds had been so terribly spoiled since his visit in the 1960s by the rash of dumb buildings that littered the landscape, which failed so comprehensively to understand how to have any kind of credible conversation with context.
Murcutt knew a thing or two about place. He has pioneered an extraordinary architecture that speaks of the geology and geography of a locale. He uses the water table, wind direction, sunlight, flora and fauna to root a building to its site.
Murcutt was my teacher many years ago, and these are the themes that excite me, and the methods I use to design buildings. Post industrial revolution, when in theory a building can speak of anything, it has never been more important to cherish the particular, the local, the provincial, and all that these concepts can mean. Far from being outmoded, local topography, customs, skills, particularities and crafts truly have their place in twenty-first century architecture. They define and root a community.
As years went by, as Murcutt reminded me, we lost the ability to build in a credible way. But I sense things are changing. Now, more than ever, people are fascinated by provenance.
I'm from the South West, where I still live and work in a steep-sided water-worn valley near Bath. Historically it was a region where landscape and geography underpinned every settlement. It's fascinating to trace this ancient landscape at many scales – from the individual fossil, the ancient footpath, the hedgerow, the watercourse, to the buildings that sit so inevitably alongside these things to the point that they become landscape.
At Watchet, there is an extraordinary opportunity to think big. Rather than just procuring a series of buildings that are in theory fit for purpose and function, there is an opportunity to use architecture as a method of speaking of the town's identity, of its history and pre-history, and, of course, of its future.

NEMANJA MATIC'S stunning stoppage-time half-volley broke Palace hearts as United overcame the Eagles at Selhurst Park.
The visitors began poorly in the opening stages and the Eagles took a deserved lead through Andros Townsend.
The winger's curled effort deflected off a helpless Victor Lindelof and flew into the top corner, giving David De Gea no chance.
The Swedish centre-back noted his manager's unhappiness at half-time and explained how Mourinho urged his team to give him more movement.
"We didn't start the second half good, but in the end we scored three goals and are obviously very happy," said the defender.
Despite Mourinho's instructions, United were caught napping after the interval. A quick free kick by Jeffrey Schlupp led to Patrick van Aanholt facing De Gea one-on-one and coolly slotting past the Spaniard to double Palace's lead and send Selhurst Park into a frenzy.
Chris Smalling briefly silenced the crowd, pulling one back for the visitors shortly afterwards, and a sense of nervousness slowly spread among the home faithful.
The equaliser came courtesy of Romelu Lukaku with 10 minutes remaining. Alexis Sanchez saw his shot ricochet off the underside of the bar and the Belgian was on hand to eventually put it in.
The killer goal came in stoppage time. Matic's wonderful strike drew praise from Roy Hodgson as the Palace boss reflected on a cruel defeat.
"I felt really sad for them. I can't criticise any player or person for the effort they put in. Matic scores a worldy from 25-30 metres which leaves our goalkeeper chanceless," he said.
"If that ball had hit the cross bar or gone wide of the goal, I'd have been sitting here saying well done boys and what a good point.

Q: Wordpress Customizr Theme Modern Style - Child Theme and overwriting templates I searched for this over an hour and just don't find how to do this. Maybe the Customizr themes name is not the best choice for easy searching. :)
Anyway, as far as I read here I have to create a child theme and should be able to override any file in the theme I would like to by building up the same folder structure the original file has.
According to templates/parts/loop.php the following two template files should be used by the theme:
templates/parts/content/post-lists/post_list_alternate.php
templates/parts/content/post-lists/post_list_plain.php

So I copied these two files to my child theme keeping the folder structure, inserted a large-sized span to test but nothing changes when viewing the website.
Can anyone give me a hint what I'm missing? Most information I find in the theme documentation relates to classical style.
Thanks in advance
Steffen

A: I also asked this question in the Wordpress theme support forum and got an answer.
The template files each belong to a post list layout which can be selected in the theme customizer:
Appearance -> Customize -> Main Content -> Post lists: blog, archives, .. > POST LIST DESIGN > Select a layout
Changing this to the appropriate layout uses the files in the child theme as expected.
Details on which file is used by which layout can be found in the code of the theme.
