String.LastIndexOf Method (Char)
Reports the zero-based index position of the last occurrence of a specified Unicode character within this instance.
Namespace: System
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
- value
- Type: System.Char
The Unicode character to seek.
Return ValueType: System.Int32
The zero-based index position of value if that character is found, or -1 if it is not.
Index numbering starts from zero. That is, the first character in the string is at index zero and the last is at Length - 1.
This method begins searching at the last character position of this instance and proceeds backward toward the beginning until either value is found or the first character position has been examined. The search is case-sensitive.
This method performs an ordinal (culture-insensitive) search, where a character is considered equivalent to another character only if their Unicode scalar values are the same. To perform a culture-sensitive search, use the CompareInfo.LastIndexOf method, where a Unicode scalar value representing a precomposed character, such as the ligature "Æ" (U+00C6), might be considered equivalent to any occurrence of the character's components in the correct sequence, such as "AE" (U+0041, U+0045), depending on the culture.
The following example defines an ExtractFilename method that uses the LastIndexOf(Char) method to find the last directory separator character in a string and to extract the string's file name. If the file exists, the method returns the file name without its path.

Deviant Art
New Contest: Musically Inspired CLOSEDWINNERS ANNOUNCED:
UPDATE: ONE WEEK EXTENSION FOR THIS CONTEST. Entries will now be due on November 7th 2013 11:59PM PST
What inspires you to create? I often ponder this question while I browse deviantart. Many deviants I have spoken to have mentioned that music was a big influence with their artwork. This lead me to the idea for a contest
Please note this contest is not just for the members at ArtisticAnimals It's just being cross posted to get more exposure. I hope you all don't mind.
The theme of the contest is to create an artwork inspired by a song of your choosing, and also to let us know how/why you got inspired from that song in the description box.
Please read these rules carefully, if your entry does not include the things listed below, it will not be accepted!
[CONTEST] $80+ worth of prizes (Ended):iconmkat7::iconbayneezone::iconshikadeidara: are holding a contest to draw our OCs!More Like This
-->The contest has ended . We are now currently in a judging process.
Rules are simple:
Pick the OC(s) you'd like to draw. If you are drawing multiple, only draw them with the characters from the same group.
Do not use bases or traces, original work only, and should be made FOR the contest.
Keep them in character.
There will be 3 categories in this contest
- 3 characters in a single picture
- 2 characters in a single picture
- 1 character in a single picture
You may submit one per category.
Submissions should be a form of visual arts, that is traditional or digital in any style of your choosing.

Contest is now CLOSED!!!! Judging will commense
Calling all members...I wish I didn't have to say this..but we had another severe rule breaker, one of the worst we've had here at :icondrawanime: Some stole artwork from other deviants and used those pieces to enter our contest...this is beyond pathetic I'm sorry. I think it goes without question we DO NOT accept stolen artwork here, and neither do we accept members who steal artwork from other people. Those who are caught doing this, will be banned permanently from the group. Period. Thanks to all the wonderful people who did enter kindly, just thought I'd throw that out there if there was anyone else looking to steal work and try to pass it off as their own.
Edit - Since someone already broke the main rule of the contest, I just want to repeat to the other contestants: Your entry MUST be made specifically for this contest. It's okay to submit it to other contests, but the main one and the focus of you
Simple Design Contest- Judging!Right so I was pretty inspired by silly-boat's contest in how they used minimalistic colourations (black and white) as the subject. I tend to have some pretty somewhat complicated/complex designs so hey maybe it'll be pretty cool to have a simple design contest.More Like This
Rules are very simple: The character/creature must be completely monotone (gradients accepted) save for a single off colour (preferably a neon one or something that stands out) that can be used in only ONE area. (except for eyes)
For example say I have a wolf. That wolf is black with white socks and a stomach and has red eyes however the off colour could be two simple dashes below its eye but that colour can't be used anywhere else on the creature. Pretty simple huh?
General Rules
-Only monotone colours can be used, save for that single off colour [Monotone pertaining to black, white, grey gradients]
-You can use bases but it's discouraged, I want
Pokemon Gijinka Contest (closed)//EDIT: Even though I said which Pokemon were my favorite, I would love to see all them done~More Like This
//EDIT: ;A; No one made a Leafeon Gijinka yet~
My first time holding a contest. It will be a design contest. The point of this contest will be to design a male or female Gijinka of one of the six Pokemon listed.
~Gijinka (擬人化) is a Japanese word meaning "humanoid", "personification", or "anthropomorphic", although the use of the word outside of Japan has come to be slightly different from the use of the word "anthropomorphic" in the anime/manga/furry/etc communities. Rather than referring to just any animal with human characteristics, a gijinka is most often a fan re-design of an animal-like character in a human or humanoid form, (ex: a Digimon or Pokémon).
So I know everyone's art style is differ

Hello there again my darling snowflakes!

A little F.A.Q before we get started :iconjumpingla-plz:
How does this work?
Every month I'll give you a theme and you'll have to create a Manga/Anime styled entry according to it
Is Fan Art or Fan Characters allowed?
I'm afraid not Only Original Characters and universes are allowed. Your Naruto based OC, for example, isn't elligible to enter or win.
Can we submit pre-existing works that fit the theme?
Nope. All entries must be made specifically for this contest, old artworks won't be accepted.
Alright! Now that we have the basics down, let's get into serious bussiness!

Trust me, I want to have top 10, not only 5 at this time so bad cause there are some very nice other entries too. That's why it takes me more than a week to choose top 5 ;^;
And for peoples who couldn't make it this time, please don't be upset. As the point of this challenge is not for winning but for improving and it's like a motivation for us to draw/work more on art .
Please never stop working and improving your skills. Well, I have to back to practicing more now too, ^^

In this article I will be discussing how to sell your original paintings. If your a artist you know how intimidating this can be when you've decided to venture into sales. It may even leave you with doubts about your own work, lower your confidence as a artist, and a bit fearful. Well have no fear! I have some tips from personal experience, as well as online references and advice from fellow artists that will help with your sales.

Character Info
Anzu is a Devil, a type of low-level demon specializing in fire magic. During her younger years, she discovered that she was able to wield water magic as well (Something very rare amongst her kind.) Even though her skill level is pretty average, her ability to use two elemental magics allowed her to attend a prestigious magic academy. This is where she met Iso and Nia and became their good friend.

You can be as creative with it as you want but only one piece will be accepted per month, per person in it's corresponding folder, here in SepticSkeptiksShanty.

BalanceBalanceMore Like This
Dear friends, watchers and visitors,
have you ever thought about balance? If you look close enough, everything in life is about balance; that goes as much for ourselves as it does for everything and everyone around us.
The more weight something has, the more counterweight you need; it sounds so simple, yet can be so hard to strike the right balance in life. I personally like to believe that photography has helped me to regain balance in some ways. Like everyone I have my own share of troubles pulling me down, some of them for far too long. Practicing photography serves as the counterweight to these, enabling me to finally regain some balance. I'm much more active than I used to be - I even lost 20 pounds in the past four months alone. And aside from finding joy in it, it also makes me look at the world with different eyes. It is, perhaps, not entirely wrong to say that I'm seeing with the eyes of a child, wherea

DLD Suggestion Contest--:devtwilightpoetess: StyleOKAY! It's time for me to host MY FIRST contest!More Like This
So, I know that my own DLD suggestions have sort of dropped off quite a bit lately, and I'm sure the other DLD Admins are feeling just as

Starting August 1st--YES, JUST NINE DAYS!--I will open the contest. You will be required to send ME a DLD suggestion, AS WELL AS sending one suggestion to another DLD Admin of your choice. This contest will run for ONE MONTH (so, from August 1st-September 1st).
FOR EVERY PAIR of suggestions you send in--so that means your suggestion to me PLUS your suggestion to another DLD Admin--you will be given a tally (or point, if you will). Whoever has the most points at the end will win! There will be a first, second, and third place for this--and maybe one or two honorable mentions depending on how things go.

The Top Reasons for Manuscript RejectionOne of the things that the literary agency I work for does some weekends out of the year is teach seminars on query writing and the first 5 pages of manuscripts (which, basically just means the first page of the manuscript). The seminars last only a day or two, but aim to help writers improve their queries and start of their books so that they have a better chance of standing out in the ever-growing slush pile. Since I know many members of the literature community here aim to one day be published writers, I thought I would share our sheet of the top reasons for manuscript rejections. Please note: These are in no particular order.More Like This
Wrong genre Agents have guidelines for specific genres that they like to represent. Just like you and me, they have certain genres they love and certain genres they don't. Sometimes, it's not because of personal preference, but because they don't know the market for some books as well as other agents who are very passionate about

Let us begin with a definition. Dictionary.com defines anthropomorphism as 'the attribution of human form or behaviour to a deity, animal, etc'. For this contest, the definition must be a little narrower. We want you to write about non-human animals with human characteristics. These characteristics can include, but are not limited to (and of course do not have to include):
Use of first person from the animal's perspective, such as in poems by Ted Hughes e.g. 'Hawk Roosting', and by Rudyard Kipling e.g. 'Seal Lullaby'.
Complex thought processes (using your own judgement to define 'complex'), such as in Sheila Burnford's novel The Incredible Journey.
Bipedal tendencies, such as in Catherine Storr's stories of 'Clever Polly and the Stupid Wolf'.
Communication by speech, such as in Richard Adams's

The E-Literature Catalog - Crime + Mystery IHello and welcome to the fourth installment of The E-Literature Catalog, an article that aims to showcase three exemplary works of literature of a certain theme that are available online from renowned authors, performers, publishers and other trusted sources. Published writing can find its way to being legally hosted online through either becoming a part of the public domain or by being offered for free from the source. I will not be sharing links to illegally hosted literature (and do not condone it). I will be linking to verifiable and trusted sources. Our theme this article is Crime and Mystery, a genre that is dominated by several subgenres (such as detective fiction or thrillers) and can be approached from a multitude of angles, from serious drama to lighthearted adventure.More Like This

Lauren Bacall, the slinky, sultry-voiced actress who created on-screen magic with Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep and off-screen magic in one of Hollywood's most storied marriages, has died at age 89.
Bacall was born Betty Joan Perske on September 16, 1924. The 89-year-old star of more than 60 films was best known for her distinctive husky voice.
Bacall was the star of dozens of films from Hollywood's "golden age", including The Big Sleep (1946), Dark Passage (1947), How to Marry A Millionaire (1953) and Key Largo (1948).
When she made her film debut - at the age of 19, playing opposite her future husband Humphrey Bogart in the film To Have and Have Not - her star exploded in Hollywood.
In the film, Bacall spoke the now-legendary flirtacious line which stayed with her throughout her career: "You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything, not a thing," she said. "Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and ... blow."
Bacall married twice, first to Bogart in 1945 until his death in 1957, and later to actor Jason Robards jnr in 1961.
She had three children, Stephen Humphrey Bogart and Leslie Bogart, and Sam Robards, who run the Bogart Estate, which has since confirmed her death. Her daughter, Leslie Bogart, said no other information was available, according to the Los Angeles Times.
With deep sorrow, yet with great gratitude for her amazing life, we confirm the passing of Lauren Bacall. pic.twitter.com/B8ZJnZtKhN
— BogartEstate (@HumphreyBogart) August 12, 2014
Though Hollywood tried to pair Bacall with a string of leading men, including Kirk Douglas, Gary Cooper, Clifton Webb and Richard Widmark, none ever re-captured the chemistry she shared with "Bogey", as she called him.
In addition to To Have and Have Not, Bacall and Bogart played opposite each other in Dark Passage and Key Largo.
In her autobiography By Myself, Bacall said there had been no "lightning bolt" when she and Bogart met.
"There was no clap of thunder, no lightning bolt, just a simple how do you do," she wrote. "Bogart was slighter than I imagined' five-foot-ten-and-a-half, wearing his costume of no-shape trousers, cotton shirt and scarf around his neck. Nothing of import was said' we didn't stay long' but he seemed a friendly man."
During her life, Bacall wrote two autobiographies, Lauren Bacall By Myself, which was published in 1978, and Now, which was published in 1994.
Bacall was one of Hollywood's most honoured actresses, first winning a Tony Award in 1970 for her role in the musical Applause. In 1993 she was the recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille honorary Golden Globe award and in 2009 was the recipient of an honorary Academy Award.
During the 1980s Bacall's film career was a mixture of B-movies and literary classics, such as Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express, with Albert Finney, Sir John Gielgud and Ingrid Bergman, and another Christie thriller, Appointment with Death, with Peter Ustinov, Carrie Fisher and Hayley Mills.
She would, however, go on to give one more career-defining, dazzling screen performance, in the 1996 film The Mirror Has Two Faces, directed by (and starring) Barbra Streisand. In it, Bacall played Hannah Morgan, the over-bearing mother of Streisand's shy, plain Rose.
The role won Bacall a Screen Actors Guild award and a Golden Globe award in 1997. She was also nominated for an Oscar and a BAFTA for the role.
Bacall was one of the last actors tied to the Hollywood "studio player" contract system. Under that system actors would be contracted directly to a studio, and would star only in films developed by them.
Though that system was in decline, Bacall infamously bucked it. She was, according to reports, "suspended" by Warner Bros on seven occasions for objecting to the poor quality of scripts she was being offered while tied to the studio leash.
When she accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association in 1993, she said the acting profession had given her "everything I ever wanted, and more than I dreamed possible."
"It gave me people, actors, writers, directors, friendship ... access and accessibility, made the impossible possible," she said. "Just imagine my luck at being part of a profession I had fantasised about since childhood."
"Seeing those film clips, and remembering everyone involved in each movie, I owe so much to so many," she added. "And it's an un-repayable debt."
As well as a high-profile stage and film career, Bacall was politically active.
In 1952 she campaigned for Democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson in the US presidential elections, and in 1964 she campaigned for Robert Kennedy in his run for the US senate.
She retained her distinct political voice throughout her life; in 2005 she told interviewer Larry King she was "the L word", referring to "liberal".
TMZ broke the news, quoting an unnamed family source, and trade website The Hollywood Reporter also confirmed her death.

Riverview Road improvements slated for March
DOWNTOWN AKRON — Plans for improvements to Riverview Road in Peninsula moved forward Nov. 19 as a Summit County Council committee recommended Council approve a contract for the project.
The Public Works Committee gave its OK to a proposed contract with Karvo Paving for the first part of the resurfacing project at a cost of $812,598.
Heidi Swindell, of the Summit County Engineer's Office, said 80 percent of the project cost will be covered by federal transportation funds, so the county will have to put about $162,000 toward the project.
The project will include shoulder and depth repaving, she added, and would likely take place in March should Council approve it.
According to the legislation, the project will involve the portion of the road from the Cuyahoga Falls north corporation limit to the Peninsula south corporation limit.
In other business, the Health and Human Services Committee recommended Council adopt legislation allowing a change order to a contract with Language Line Services Inc. for client translation services. The change will add an additional $17,500 to the contract, a 70 percent increase.
Steve Zimmerman, deputy director of administration for the Department of Job and Family Services, said an influx of refugees to the area has led to the need for increased translation services. The calls for interpretive services have more than doubled during the last six months due to increased emphasis on refugees who receive Ohio Works First cash meeting federal work participation requirements.
The agency averages 94 of the calls monthly, Zimmerman said, with the average cost per call coming in at $20.52.
During the Finance Committee meeting, members recommended Council adopt a resolution authorizing the issuance and sale of bonds in the aggregate maximum amount of $19 million for the purpose of re-funding certain maturities of general obligation bonds issued in 2002 and 2003.
Jason Dodson, chief of staff in the Executive's Office, said the bonds will be refinanced, and the county projects it will save about $350,000 annually in interest.
Following committee meetings, Council conducted budget hearings with the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board; the clerk of courts; prosecutor; Child Support Enforcement Agency; and Children Services.
County Council will meet Nov. 26 at 5 p.m. for caucus and 5:05 p.m. for the regular meeting in Council Chambers on the seventh floor of the Ohio Building, 175 S. Main St.

The Department of Health...
By Jennifer Warren
Five Queens school-based health clinics that were to be closed because of Health and Hospital Corporation cutbacks, have received a last-minute reprieve by the citys Department of Health, said Jane Zimmerman, an HHC spokeswoman.
The Department of Health pledged $530,000 from its own school health program to fund the clinics through January 2002, Zimmerman said.
The clinics which are expected to remain open are those in PS 220 in Rego Park, Long Island City High School, PS 86 in Jamaica, PS 14 in Corona, IS 145 in Jackson Heights and PS 7 in Elmhurst.
Still slated to shut down is the Waltham Health Center at 146-36 105th Ave. in Jamaica. That center is not based at a school.
Neal Cohen, commissioner of the Department of Health, said his agency was committed to helping the clinics and their clients.
The New York City Department of Health is pleased to support the school-based clinics run by HHC to ensure that childrens access to the public health services provided by these clinics continue without interruption, Department of Health Commissioner Neal Cohen said.
The financial rescue was announced last Thursday following a Department of Health board meeting. Dr. Luis Marcos, president of the Health and Hospitals Corporation, said there was still much work to be done.
This collaboration highlights the fact that HHC needs committed partners at all levels of government to fulfill its mission of providing quality health care to all, regardless of ability to pay, he said.
Following the announcement of HHCs plans to shutter the clinics, many parents and community activists sought to keep the health centers open.
One of them was Edgar Moya, the volunteer chairman of the government legislative committee of HHCs Elmhurst Hospital. Moya and his colleagues worked with the communities which would be most affected by the closings.
In just a few days he and two colleagues collected more than 8,000 signatures for a petition they submitted to state legislators. They have also submitted requests for grants to the state Department of Health for $7,000 and to the federal governments Healthy Communities, Healthy Schools program.
This was actually done in a rush, Moya said. We could foresee that this was going to happen when we approached the City Council and HHC. They were pretty noncommittal as to how much funds were going to get.
The funds are needed to maintain the clinics beyond January 2002, Moya said.
