3/40 Blueprint:
Creating the Blueprint to Reduce LGBTQ Youth Homelessness

Creating the Blueprint to Reduce LGBTQ Youth Homelessness.
3/40 Blueprint was initiated to identify challenges and goals, and help transitional living programs develop solutions better aligned with LGBTQ youths' unique needs. Research results, executive summaries, and infographics have been provided here to help guide service provision for this vulnerable population.
3/40 Blueprint was a collaborative effort between Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC), the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Houston, the Center for the Study of Social Policy, and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. These entities partnered due to their longstanding commitments to social justice, including efforts to improve outcomes for LGBTQ youth and runaway and homeless youth.
3/40 Blueprint was created to respond to the needs LGBTQ youth and runaway and homeless youth by developing a blueprint over the 3 years of this project that can reduce the 40% of homeless youth who identify as LGBTQ (the 3/40 BLUEPRINT). The outcomes from this project should help build the capacity of Transitional Living Programs to serve LGBTQ homeless youth and strengthen their efforts to better understand and address the needs of this population. We have focused on identifying the needs of LGBTQ homeless youth and the strategies that respond to those needs to facilitate successful transitions to adulthood. Project findings, executive summaries, and infographics have been provided here to help guide service provision for this vulnerable population.
Identifying challenges and goals.
Among the 1.6 million or more homeless youth in the US, up to 40% identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or questioning.1,2 Homeless LGBTQ youth are more likely to face depression, substance abuse, high-risk sexual behavior, mental health issues, and suicide attempts than their non-LGBTQ peers.3,4
Practices have begun to emerge that show promise in responding to the needs of LGBTQ homeless youth. However, information about those practices has not been systematically collected or analyzed, and no unifying practice models have emerged as a result of those responses. To facilitate positive outcomes for LGBTQ homeless youth, more information is needed about those emerging practices, as well as about appropriate screening and assessment tools, and policies and programs that can facilitate LGBTQ homeless youth feeling "safe, respected, and affirmed". This project helps to begin closing that gap.
Knowledge and gaps.

Recommended Next Steps:
1. Policy
We recommend advocating to public funders to reduce duplicative data collection wherever possible. This goal can be accomplished by ensuring data collection tools have common categories for capturing information.
We recommend that funders require staff be trained so they, and the overall program, meet minimum (but high quality) standards related to being competent related to issues experienced by LGBTQ youth. This requirement will increase the likelihood of providing LGBTQ youth who are being served with a safe and affirming space.
We recommend research continue to be conducted about LGBTQ youth who are homeless, especially those who reside in suburban and rural areas. Their experiences, the full scope, should be explored and viewed as a dynamic experience.
We recommend further research be conducted, specifically about the needs of transgender and gender expansive (TGE) youth who reside in rural areas, small cities, and mid-sized cities. Due to a lack of resources in those areas, TGE youth are often not able to access the resources that larger cities across the country can provide. Understanding their needs and identifying strategies to meet them will help to fill that gap.
3. Technical Assistance
We recommend developing an assessment tool for organizations to use when providing services to LGBTQ youth. They should:
guide organizations through the evaluation of their current practices
help organizations identify areas for growth related to service provision
lead to recommended actions in key areas where the agency may need improvement
We recommend ensuring adequate training is made available to new and current transitional living programs (TLPs) as a means to support their need to gain competency in serving LGBTQ young people. At minimum, trainings should include:
how to ask LGBTQ youth about their sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression (SOGIE), including during data collection
creating safe and affirming space for LGBTQ youth
the best practices and policies to use when providing services to transgender and gender expansive (TGE) youth.
We recommend providing staff with the education and supports needed to appropriately respond to challenges that may arise during peer interactions, such as youth feeling unsafe. Being pro-active will increase positive outcomes for LGBTQ youth.
We recommend TLPs review the numerous documents resulting from this project and integrate the recommendations made into their existing TLP programming.
4. Funding
We recommend funders work together to ensure data collection tools have common categories for capturing information. This will reduce agencies having to duplicate information, provide consistency when collecting data, and may reduce the time needed to complete intake and assessment.
We recommend federal and state funders explore ways to unify the language and questions used on their required forms. This approach will support front-line staff in their efforts to better document their clients' SOGIE.
We recommend federal funding be made available to smaller agencies so they can create LGBTQ specific programs in areas where regional or local grants may not be available or cannot be used to fund LGBTQ specific programs.
We recommend as part of their Requests for Proposals, funders prioritize providing funding to organizations who align with the recommendations identified from this project, such as creating a safe, affirming, and supportive environment for LGBTQ youth.

Q: How to find ActiveRecords which have attribute either equal to value or be null in Yii2 I basically have an active query and I either want to filter that column if it matched the ID or is null
MyTable::find()->andFilterWhere(['in', 'org_id', [null, $org_id]])->all();

currently using this, works fine for the $org_id, but it will not return null values.
I tried this to see if I could get any null results, but no avail
MyTable::find()->andFilterWhere(['in', 'org_id', null])->all();

Any tips?

A: Correct you query like that:
MyTable::find()
   ->andFilterWhere(['in', 'org_id', $this->org_id])
   ->orWhere(['org_id' => null])
   ->all();

You can specify IS NULL condition with array also, orWhere is enough because this condition does not depend on attribute value.

A: If you are using a filter of multiple values, the following query will result in cell with null or values in an array:
$query->andWhere(['or', ['in', 'column', $value_array], ['column' => null]]);

A: To reinforce arogachev's answer, this is a good reference, if you wanted to just query for null results:
https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/issues/6788
$query->andfilterWhere('org_id' => null)

This query doesn't work because filterWhere removes empty params.
For null results, use:
$query->andWhere('org_id' => null)

A: To completely answer this question, let's reiterate what we really want.
We need to get all records from some table which have some specific 'field' to be equal either to given $value or to null.
Given that definition, we can translate it directly into Query call:
$query->andWhere(['or', ['field' => $value], ['field' => null]]);

This is somewhat suboptimal in cases when $value is null, because it gives the SQL WHERE (field IS NULL) OR (field IS NULL).
You can mitigate it by wrapping the andWhere call with if statement:
if ($value === null)
    $query->andWhere(['field' => null]);
else
    $query->andWhere(['or', ['field' => $value], ['field' => null]]);

or depending on your tastes, using ternary operator:
$query->andWhere(
    $value === null
        ? ['field' => null]
        : ['or', ['field' => $value], ['field' => null]]
);

In any case, using andFilterWhere completely defeats the purpose of your query, because it exists solely to remove pieces like ['field' => null] from the queries.

Common Estate Problems
When a person dies, someone must look after their estate (everything they owned or had an interest in when they died). The person who looks after a deceased person's estate is known as their Executor or Administrator. An individual who was authorized to deal with someone's property during their lifetime can no longer do this unless they are also the Executor or Administrator of the estate. For example, if you have been appointed as someone's power of attorney, you cannot use that power after their death. A power of attorney ends when the person who granted the power of attorney dies.
There are some legal terms that are commonly used in Wills and to describe legal processes that concern Wills. It is helpful to understand these terms as you go through the process of creating a Will.
If you are an Executor appointed under a Will you may need to apply to court for Letters Probate before you can deal with the property of the deceased. Depending on who holds the assets you may not need these. You always need them if there is any real property in the estate.
When there is no Executor under a Will, an application for Letters of Administration may be required to deal with the deceased's estate.
There are ways to simplify the process for distributing an estate when the estate is small. One method can be used if the value of the estate is under $15,000 and there is real property. The other method can only be used if there is no real property and the value of the estate is under $25,000.
There are certain steps that an Executor or Administrator must take to distribute an estate. Failing to take the proper steps can have financial consequences. Executors and Administrators can seek legal advice from a lawyer and charge this expense to the estate.
There are certain costs that may have to be paid by the estate depending on the situation. These include costs of Letters Probate or Letters of Administrations, legal fees and payment to the Executor or Administrator.
Beneficiaries can have concerns about how an estate being handled. Beneficiaries may not be sure what was left to them in the Will. They may think the Executor or Administrator is taking too long to distribute the estate or even question whether the Will is valid. There are options for beneficiaries with concerns.
Distribution of an Estate does not always go smoothly. There are certain common issues that Executors or Administrators can be on the look out for.

1. What is Live Full, Walk Free anyway?
Live Full, Walk Free: Set Apart in a Sin-Soaked World is a six-session Bible study book and DVD series. During the six lessons, Cindy explores Paul's first letter to the Corinthians and shows how believers today can navigate their way in a wayward and confused culture. She reveals how Paul wrote his letter to the Corinthians—the "Sin City" of its day—to help them cultivate holy lives not by their own strength but through the power of Jesus Christ.
Touching on themes of identity, unity, purpose, and purity, this study will equip you to life for God in a sin-soaked world and handle each situation with grace. And whether women have been studying the Bible for decades, or are still trying to figure this "Jesus thing" out, you'll find relevant material that meets women right where they are on their spiritual journey.
Live Full, Walk Free is a six-session series, and may be fully completed in six weeks. However, if you decide to complete the series in a group setting, and your schedule allows for more time together, there are many ways Live Full, Walk Free may be offered.
The DVD series includes a Bonus Introductory Session to get know Cindy better, as well as distribute books and materials, making it a seven week series. Your group may also want to host a closing eighth week Live Full, Walk Free celebration. Some groups may choose to stretch the series out even further, allowing one week for homework discussion, one week for video watching and discussion, and repeating this structure until the end. The options are endless.
3. How long are the video teachings?
4. How long do you see the Bible study lasting? 1 hour? 1 ½ hours?
We recognize different groups have different time lengths available. We've provided a free Leader's Guide PDF with different options based on whether the leader has 60 minutes, 90 minutes, or 120 minutes.
5. Is Cindy available to encourage the women?
Absolutely! Cindy loves connecting with women, and counts the many friendships she's made through her ministry one of life's special joys!
For more details, email Cindy's scheduling coordinator at cindy@cindybultema.com. Due to Cindy's full family and speaking schedule, Skype sessions are limited.

RCA BRINGS YOU VISIONS OF TOMORROW, TODAY, THROUGH SCIENCE - RARE, PROMOTIONAL FILM HERALDING THE ARRIVAL OF TELEVISION - CIRCA 1939
In 1939, America had emerged from the Great Depression and was just months away from fighting World War II, but David Sarnoff and the research team at RCA, had their eyes firmly fixed on the future and they saw it on a small grainy, television screen.
RCA introduced the world to electronic television at New York's 1939 World's Fair. Sarnoff's empire already included NBC's Red and Blue Radio Networks, the NBC Owned and Operated Radio Stations, the RCA Victor Record labels, plus RCA Victor Radios and Phonographs. Television would be his new frontier.
In 1939, NBC-TV was producing daily, experimental telecasts from its headquarters at New York's 30 Rock. Parent company, RCA, was selling four lines of television receivers. Their prices ranged $199.50 to $600 and were considered expensive. In this case the affluent, early adopters purchased the sets and became television's first, core audience.
Below is a rare film, produced by RCA, that helped to explain the vision and values of a magic box that could bring the world into your living room. Enjoy!!!!!
THE KING OF POP AND THE QUEEN OF 70'S PRIME TIME PASS AWAY - THE DEATHS OF MICHAEL JACKSON AND FARRAH FAWCETT - CIRCA JUNE 25, 2009
Today, two people of iconic stature in entertainment and popular culture passed away.I suspect, that in their respective journeys, both were aware of the passions and pain of living a life on stage.
Michael Jackson was only 50 years and a preliminary diagnosis indicates that he died from cardiac arrest. The news of his loss moved around the globe at the speed of light.
Farrah Fawcett, the epitome of 1970's glamour and sex appeal, lost her long, arduous battle with cancer , today , at the age of 62.Her finals days were documented by television cameras.
If you are native to this planet, I don't really need to provide much context about the extraordinary and controversial lives of these two eccentric artists. We've witnessed their most painful chapters played out in the harsh light of media scrutiny.Both had been viewed as having lost touch with reality, but not with their myriad talents or their deeply devoted fans.
At KINESCOPE HD, we try not to value judge the performer, but choose to celebrate professional legacy. Television is our chosen field, so let's look back upon their lives on stage and screen, through the filter of vintage video.

AMERICA'S FAVORITE SIDEKICK IS SILENCED - ED MCMAHON PASSES AWAY- CIRCA JUNE 23,2009
Entertainer, broadcaster, aviator, pitchman and consumate comic straightman, Ed McMahnon died in Los angeles, this morning. Cancer was among many maladies that took his life. He was a voluble plresence on and off the air, and a man who partied like it was 1959.
Here is his obituary, as it aired when word of his passing was reported on NBC's Today program by Matt Lauer and NBC News correspondent, George Lewis.
A personal observation about McMahon's influence on contemporary culture.
I stood , one day, in the NBC Experience Store at 30 Rock.
They were displaying ancient Carnac bits from a "Best of Carson DVD"
on a wall of monitors.
It was odd, but , there were about five or six men ... no women ... standing there,transfixed, watching late night icon, Johnny Carson and faithful straightman/ sidekick, Ed McMahon do a 30 year old, comic routine. On the vintage 1970's excerpt, McMahon says "Here is the next envelope, Oh Great One."
Carson looks at it and says to the camera:
"ZIS.BOOM.
BAH"
McMahon repeats:
BAH."
Carson tears the end off of the envelope and says:
"WHAT IS THE LAST SOUND YOU HEAR BEFORE A SHEEP EXPLODES?"
There was a thunderous laugh on the tape.
And in the store, in front of the monitor wall, five or six guys, randomly gathered, from every point on the compass, erupt in gales of cascading laughter.
It was that impish attitude and inspired lunacy that endeared McMahon to a generation of viewers.
McMahon was a protean broadcaster, a polished entertainer and a pioneer of local television, starting at Philadelphia's WCAU-TV in the post- World War II years.
He helped formulate the foundation of television programming as we know it , today.
Ed McMahon will be missed.
His legacy lives on in decaying audio reels, canisters of faded film, and endless reels of preserved videotape.
Below is a classic Carnac sketch from 1974. Enjoy!!!!!
Below is a vintage , LIVING COLOR clip of McMahon and Frank Sinatra, from 1968. Durign the late 1960's, they were teamed as commercial spokesmen for Budweiser Beer. Enjoy!!!!

HOW SWEET IT WAS - RARE OPENING SEQUENCE FROM JACKIE GLEASON'S AMERICAN SCENE MAGAZINE - CBS-TV - CIRCA 1962
In the 1950's, Jackie Gleason was America's Sultan Of Saturday Night Television.He vanquished most of his key competitors.Shows hosted by Perry Como, Sid Caesar and Lawrence Welk were either moved to other timeslots, or shifted to different nights on the broadcast schedule. Some of their shows were cancelled. Gleason reigned supreme on the Saturday TV schedule.
The volatile funnyman gained fame and fortune hosting a lavish, Saturday evening, comedy-variety program on the CBS Television network. THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW was the creative incubator for his unique portfolio of beloved characters ranging from The Poor Soul to Reginald Van Gleason III to his true alter ego, Brooklyn bus driver and devoted husband, Ralph Kramden.On that New York-based, Black & White series, he cultivated a legendary performing partnership with comedic virtuoso, Art Carney.
In the 1955-56 season,the variety hour gave way to his beloved sitcom,THE HONEYMOONERS,in his trademark, Saturday night timeslot. After one season , during which the Kramden's comic adventures failed to attract an audience commensurate with his variety series, The Great One returned to star in a Saturday night, variety series.
As the ratings declined and Gleason's interest in the arduous task of starring in a 60 minute series eroded , he moved to host an abortive game show , called YOU'RE IN THE PICTURE . That show was replaced,in a matter of days, by a loosely constructed talk format that failed to showcase Gleason's manifold talents.And then ,saying he was exhausted and in search of a new creative challenge,Gleason simply retired from weekly television...
Until...
The Fall of 1962, when the voluble and vibrant showman , who felt food, fun and spirits were meant to be enjoyed to excess , returned to the CBS network, to produce and star in JACKIE GLEASON'S AMERICAN SCENE MAGAZINE, an opulent , Broadway-style, comic revue with music, airing each week, in Gleason's original ,Saturday night timeslot.
Here, Gleason got belly laughs satirizing life at the dawn of the Kennedy-era, brought on world class guest stars and created a stable ofnew characters, including Frank Fontaine's opinionated bar-fly with operatic pipes, Crazy Guggenheim.It was a ratings and critical success.Gleason was at the pinacle, both, as a respected performer and as a larger than life personality. In 1964, the series was, at The Great One's insistence, and at CBS's expense, moved to Miami Beach.That decision was made, largely, so that Gleason , an inveterate golfer, could live and play at Florida's vaunted Inverarry County Club.
The show was reformatted as a weekly,book musical-comedy and the title shortened to simply THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW. Before it's run ended in 1970, Gleason revived THE HONEYMOONERS , with co-star Art Carney,as the musical adventures of the Kramdens and Norton's touring the globe, after winning a contest.The so-called COLOR HONEYMOONERS are still seen in syndication, today.
As his audience aged, as Gleason failed to recruit younger viewers and as CBS chose to invest in urban-oriented shows, with relevant social themes, The Great One was cancelled. While he went on to star in films and return to musical theater, he never again appeared on a weekly television series. However,his extraordinary legacy endures to this day.

HISTORY IN THE AIR, CHANGE ON THE AIR - RARE WNBT-TV STATION I.D. - CIRCA 1945
On this day, June 12, 2009 , American broadcasters made the long anticipated technological transition from analog to digital television transmission, facilitating enriched standard definition and enhanced high definition programming.
For media professionals, equipment manufacturers and government regulators, today's digital switch signaled the culmination of years spent planning and preparing, plus hundreds of millions of dollars invested.
For the majority of American viewers, the DTV conversion has offered elevated video fidelity and audio quality. The Digital Switch was not without incident.For many who, after months of invasive publicity and pervasive promotion, were unaware of today's historic media modification, there was stress and static.
The digital age of television is in full effect. One can only wonder what's next, as media futurists ask when 3-D imagery will supplant High Definition television.
I thought it would be fitting and fun, on this day, to remind ourselves of television's nascent steps.
Below is a vintage, 1945 station identification for America's first television station, the RCA/NBC owned, New York flagship, WNBT-TV. At that time, the station, which is now known as WNBC-TV and is seen on channel 4. was telecasting on VHF Channel 1. The announcer you hear is the legendary Ben Grauer, a longtime star of the NBC Radio networks. Enjoy!!!!!
In 1953, after an expensive and vitriolic battle between RCA/NBC and CBS, the Federal Communications Commission approved RCA's compatible system for LIVING COLOR television transmission.
In September of 1957, just before an episode of the long-running, musical variety show,YOUR HIT PARADE, NBC-TV debuted one of American media's most enduring logotypes, the original NBC Peacock.
It was created in 1956 by NBC-TV's, design director John J. Graham., seen above in a photo from THE BIG 13 wesbite.
Below is a clip showing the original NBC Peacock .Again, the voice you'll hear, is the respected, NBC stalwart, Ben Grauer.Enjoy!!!!!
FLASHBACK:THE GEATOR WITH THE HEATER- PHILLY ROCK JOCK ROYALTY-RARE CLIPS OF JERRY BLAVAT ON PHILA. TELEVISION - CIRCA 1966
THE BIG BOSS WITH THE BIG, HOT SAUCE- THE TEENAGE LEADER- THE GEATOR WITH THE HEATER
Jerry Blavat is a Philadelphia, Rock Radio phenomenon, a show biz survivor and a force of nature. Born to an Italian Mother and a Jewish Father in blue collar, rowhouse, South Philly, he was an adolescent dancer on AMERICAN BANDSTAND when it was a local show on Philadelphia's WFIL-TV ( now WPVI 6ABC) and before Dick Clark was named host of the teenage dance party.
He came into his own as a broadcaster in the late 1950's on WCAM radio, the renegade R&B station that was owned by the City of Camden , New Jersey and was located in city hall. Against formidable competition, like the late Hy Lit on WIBG, the market's blowtorch, Top 40 station, the self anointed Geator (morphed from Gator ) cultivated a large, loyal and lasting audience, to whom he referred as Yon Teens ( and are now dubbed Yon and Beyond Teens), that has stayed with him for five decades.
The Geator's greatest foray into video came in the mid-1960's when WCAU-TV, then Philadelphia's CBS Owned & Operated Station, customized a weekly, nationally syndicated, teen dance show , called THE DISCOPHONIC SCENE ,to Blavat's high energy, high profile, talents.
After two years, WFIL-TV lured Blavat , quite literally, across the street ( even now , the two stations sit face to face on Philadelphia's City Line Avenue). There, his weekly, teen, dance-fest evolved into JERRY'S PLACE, a daily talkshow with live musical performance, aimed at a young demo.
To this day, The Geator rocks local radio on his own station, WPGR- GEATOR GOLD RADIO, and emcees dance parties at clubs across our region.He always signs-off with his signature salutation:
"Keep on rockin'...'cause you only rock once!"
Below is a clip showcasing the Geator's television history in our market, from a film by Ben Vaughn that is posted on You Tube. Enjoy!!!!
"N" marks the spot- Rare NBC News animation - circa 1978
Before news partnerships, multi-platform content sharing strategies,and local management agreements blurred the lines between who produced journalistic content and who distributed that programming, the news divisions of the original, Big 3 networks ( NBC, CBS & ABC )retained all editorial and creative control of the newscasts, special coverage and documentary programming they produced.
Posted below is vintage animation that was, for many years,aired at the end of all programs produced under the aegis of NBC News. It was NBC's way of telling the viewers that it was prepared to accept the accolades and the consequences for the work presented.
You'll notice that it, visually, focuses on revealing the short-lived NBC "N" logo.Enjoy!!!!!

The Government's drastic cuts to your meal allowance will now not be implemented for up to 12 months.
The meeting between QAS Commissioner Bowles and Health Minister Springborg occurred on the same day United Voice notified the media of the launch of your Code One campaign.
We believe this is no coincidence. One of the key asks in Code One is to restore all lost conditions.
Whatever the reason, it is a welcome, albeit temporary, relief from the Government's push to cut your take home pay. The commitment United Voice won from QAS not to claim backpay will stand. We will keep you up to date on developments.

Q: Get values skip errors I'm currently learning Google app scripts and encounter a small problem.
Background: I'm fetching data from an API and write it into a spreadsheet, which is mostly working fine, and then do some work with the data.
In some cases the import is not working for what ever reason. (Cell value: #ERROR!)
For that cases I made a "copy" function to copy the API data to another sheet,skipping errors. So if 1 import is broken I can work with the Last successfull one.
Problem:
For one sheet the runtime was too high so I changed from this code:
function copy() {
  var copyWert = "";
  for (var i = 3; i < 247; i++) {
    for (var j = 1; j < 4;j++) {
      copyWert = SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('API').getRange(i, j).getValue();
      if (copyWert == "#ERROR!" || copyWert == "" || copyWert == "#NAME!") {

      } else {
        SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Copy').getRange(i, j).setValue(copyWert);
      }
    }
  }
}

To:
function copy() {
  var values = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet().getRange("A2:D300").getValues();
  SpreadsheetApp.getActive().getSheetByName('Copy').getRange("A2:D300").setValues(values);
}

Which is way faster,but missing the check. Any ideas?

A: I believe your goal as follows.

*

*You want to copy the cell values from API to Copy when the value is not "#ERROR!", "" and "#NAME!".

*You want to achieve this using Google Apps Script.

Modification points:

*

*When you want to copy only the cell values which have no "#ERROR!", "" and "#NAME!", in order to reduce the process cost, I would like to use Sheets API.

*

*In this case, the cell values which have "#ERROR!", "" and "#NAME!" are not overwritten to the existing cells in Copy.

*When you can permit the overwrite the all cells, I think that your 2nd script might be used by modifying.

Pattern 1:
In this pattern, when you want to copy only the cell values which have no "#ERROR!", "" and "#NAME!", in order to reduce the process cost, I would like to use Sheets API.
Sample script:
Before you use this script, please enable Sheets API at Advanced Google services.
function copy() {
  // Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21231012/7108653
  const columnToLetter = column => {
    let temp,
      letter = "";
    while (column > 0) {
      temp = (column - 1) % 26;
      letter = String.fromCharCode(temp + 65) + letter;
      column = (column - temp - 1) / 26;
    }
    return letter;
  };

  var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  var values = spreadsheet.getSheetByName('API').getRange("A2:D300").getValues();
  var data = values.reduce((ar, r, i) => {
      r.forEach((copyWert, j) => {
        if (!(copyWert == "#ERROR!" || copyWert == "" || copyWert == "#NAME!")) {
          ar.push({range: `'Copy'!${columnToLetter(j + 1)}${i + 2}`, values: [[copyWert]]});
        }
      });
      return ar;
  }, []);
  Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.batchUpdate({data: data, valueInputOption: "USER_ENTERED"}, spreadsheet.getId());
}

Pattern 2:
In this pattern, your 2nd script is modified.
Sample script:
function copy() {
  var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  var values = spreadsheet.getSheetByName('API').getRange("A2:D300").getValues();
  values = values.map(r => r.map(copyWert => (copyWert == "#ERROR!" || copyWert == "" || copyWert == "#NAME!") ? "" : copyWert));
  spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Copy').getRange("A2:D300").setValues(values);
}

Florin Bordeianu (n. 26 februarie 1948, Beșenova Nouă, județul Timiș), mai cunoscut ca Moni (Mony) Bordeianu, este un cântăreț și compozitor român de muzică rock. S-a remarcat în anii '60, în perioada în care a fost solistul vocal al binecunoscutei formații Phoenix.

Activitate muzicală
Moni Bordeianu este unul dintre primii vocaliști din România care a abordat "muzica tânără", așa cum a fost denumită începând cu 1961–62, de fapt muzică beat, de proveniență occidentală, influențată de formații din invazia britanică, precum The Shadows, The Beatles sau The Rolling Stones. Una dintre primele trupe autohtone care avea un repertoriu format din piese de acest stil este grupul Sfinții din Timișoara, ce și-a schimbat numele, după primii ani de activitate, în Phoenix. Bordeianu s-a alăturat formației timișorene, chiar de la înființarea acesteia, în 1962. După o foarte scurtă perioadă în care a cântat la tobe, a devenit principalul solist al grupului, rol pe care îl va avea până în 1970, când emigrează în Statele Unite ale Americii. Aparițiile scenice ale lui Moni alături de Phoenix au fost influențate de Mick Jagger de la The Rolling Stones, solistul român declarându-se un mare admirator al acestuia. Florin Bordeianu și Nicolae Covaci sunt compozitorii tuturor pieselor originale din primii ani ai Phoenix-ului, cunoscuți și ca "perioada beat". De asemenea, Moni a scris texte pentru câteva cântece. Prima compoziție a tandemului Covaci/Bordeianu a fost "Știu că mă iubești (și tu)", înregistrată în 1964 în studiourile Radio România. Primele două materiale discografice Phoenix, discurile EP Vremuri din 1968 și Totuși sînt ca voi (sau Floarea stîncilor), apărut în anul următor, au fost înregistrare cu Moni Bordeianu la voce și conțin șase compoziții semnate de același tandem Covaci/Bordeianu. Textul melodiei "Nebunul cu ochii închiși" (de pe al doilea EP) a fost scris de Bordeianu, fiind inspirat de "The Fool on the Hill" din repertoriul The Beatles. Spre deosebire de piesa formației engleze, nu se invocă figura unui nebun vizionar, ci este o referire la adresa lui Nicolae Ceaușescu. Tot în această perioadă, Moni a realizat, împreună cu Phoenix, poemul rock Omul 36/80, cu care a avut câteva reprezentații. Plecarea sa din formație, în 1970, marchează sfârșitul primei perioade Phoenix.

Bordeianu a revenit în Phoenix în 1977, în Germania de Vest, trupa având o altă componență (Nicu Covaci fiind singurul membru rămas din anii '60). A cântat cu Phoenix doar până în 1978, an în care grupul s-a destrămat. Pe parcursul anilor '80 a avut câteva colaborări cu foști membri Phoenix. A realizat în nume propriu un disc single cu titlul She Is an Angel (from Outer Space). Materialul a apărut la casa de discuri Night Records, în 1984, în Germania Federală și Franța. Conține două piese compuse de solist, cu aportul lui Josef Kappl. Imediat după Revoluția din 1989, Bordeianu a înregistrat împreună cu Erlend Krauser melodia "Păsări albe", dedicată Revoluției și românilor ce au participat la înfăptuirea acesteia. După 1990, a colaborat din nou cu Phoenix, însă sporadic. În 1998 a fost lansat albumul de restituiri Vremuri, anii 60..., ce conține vechi piese Phoenix înregistrate cu Moni, o parte dintre acestea publicate în premieră cu această ocazie. Cântecele publicate în premieră au constituit materialul unui EP apărut doi ani mai târziu, doar pe suport disc de vinil de 7" (17 cm) și în ediție limitată (103 exemplare). În noiembrie 2008 a apărut albumul Back to the Future..., un material cu înregistrări noi, editat sub titulatura Phoenix & Mony Bordeianu. Solistul a fost invitat în spectacolele formației prilejuite de aniversările de 40, 45, 50 și 55 de ani. În 2016, la Editura Integral din București, a fost publicată cartea biografică Nebunul cu ochii închiși. Mony Bordeianu în dialog cu Doru Ionescu.

1And Abraham married another wife, named Cetura:
2Who bore to him Zamran, and Jecsan, and Madan, and Madian, and Jesboc, and Sue.
3Jecsan also begot Saba and Dadan. The children of Dadan were Assurim, and Latusim, and Loomin.
4But of Madian was born Epha, and Opher, and Henoch, and Abida, and Eldaa. All these were the children of Cetura.
5And Abraham gave all his possessions to Isaac.
6And to the children of the concubines he gave gifts, and separated them from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, to the east country.
7And the days of Abraham's life were a hundred and seventy-five years.
8And decaying he died in a good old age, having lived a long time, and being full of days: and was gathered to his people.
9And Isaac and Ismael, his sons, buried him in the double cave, which was situated in the field of Ephron, the son of Seor the Hethite, over against Mambre;
10Which he had bought of the children of Heth. There was he buried, and Sara his wife.
11And after his death, God blessed Isaac his son, who dwelt by the well named, Of the Living and Seeing.
12These are the generations of Ismael the son of Abraham, whom Agar the Egyptian, Sara's servant, bore unto him:
13And these are the names of his children according to their calling and generations. The firstborn of Ismael was Nabajoth, then Cedar, and Adbeel, and Mabsam.
14And Masma, and Duma, and Massa,
15Hadar, and Thema, and Jethur, and Naphis, and Cedma.
16These are the sons of Ismael: and these are their names by their castles and towns, twelve princes of their tribes.
17And the years of Ismael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and decaying he died, and was gathered unto his people.
18And he dwelt from Hevila as far as Sur, which looketh towards Egypt, to them that go towards the Assyrians. He died in the presence of all his brethren.
19These also are the generations of Isaac the son of Abraham: Abraham begot Isaac.
20Who, when he was forty years old, took to wife Rebecca the daughter of Bathuel the Syrian, of Mesopotamia, sister to Laban.
21And Isaac besought the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and he heard him, and made Rebecca to conceive.
22But the children struggled in her womb; and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? And she went to consult the Lord.
23And he answering said: Two nations are in thy womb and two peoples shall be divided out of thy womb. And one people shall overcome the other; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24And when her time was come to be delivered, behold twins were found in her womb.
25He that came forth first was red, and hairy like a skin: and his name was called Esau. Immediately the other coming forth, held his brother's foot in his hand, and therefore he was called Jacob.
26Isaac was threescore years old when the children were born unto him.
27And when they were grown up, Esau became a skillful hunter, and a husbandman: but Jacob a plain man dwelt in tents.
28Isaac loved Esau, because he ate of his hunting: and Rebecca loved Jacob.
29And Jacob boiled Pottage: to whom Esau, coming faint out of the field,
30Said: Give me of this red pottage, for I am exceeding faint. For which reason his name was called Edom.
31And Jacob said to him: Sell me thy first birthright.
32He answered: Lo, I die. What will the first birthright avail me?
33Jacob said: Swear therefore to me. Esau swore to him, and sold his first birthright.
34And so, taking bread and the pottage of lentils, he ate, and drank, and went his way; making little account of having sold his first birthright.
Abraham's Other Wife and Sons
1Abraham had taken#25:1 Or Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah,#1Ch 1:32–33 2and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. 3Jokshan fathered Sheba and Dedan. Dedan's sons were the Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim. 4And Midian's sons were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were sons of Keturah. 5Abraham gave everything he owned to Isaac.#Gn 24:35–36 6But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of his concubines, and while he was still alive he sent them eastward, away from his son Isaac, to the land of the East.#Gn 21:14
Abraham's Death
7This is the length of Abraham's life:#25:7 Lit And these are the days of the years of the life of Abraham that he lived 175 years. 8He took his last breath and died at a good old age,#Gn 15:15; 47:8–9 old and contented,#25:8 Sam, LXX, Syr read full of days and he was gathered to his people.#Gn 25:17; 35:29; 49:29,33 9His sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah#Gn 23:17–18; 49:29–30; 50:13 near Mamre, in the field of Ephron son of Zohar the Hethite. 10This was the field that Abraham bought from the Hethites.#Gn 23:16; 50:13 Abraham was buried there with his wife Sarah. 11After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.#Gn 16:14; 24:62
Ishmael's Family Records
12These are the family records#Gn 2:4; 25:19 of Abraham's son Ishmael,#1Ch 1:29–31 whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's slave, bore to Abraham. 13These are the names of Ishmael's sons; their names according to the family records are Nebaioth, Ishmael's firstborn, then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, 14Mishma, Dumah, Massa, 15Hadad, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah. 16These are Ishmael's sons, and these are their names by their settlements and encampments: twelve leaders#25:16 Or chieftains#Gn 17:20 of their clans.#25:16 Or peoples 17This is the length#25:17 Lit And these are the years of Ishmael's life: 137 years. He took his last breath and died, and was gathered to his people. 18And they#25:18 LXX, Vg read he settled from Havilah to Shur, which is opposite Egypt as you go toward Asshur.#25:18 Or Assyria He#25:18 = Ishmael and his descendants stayed near#25:18 Or He settled down alongside of all his relatives.#Gn 16:12
The Birth of Jacob and Esau
19These are the family records of Isaac son of Abraham. Abraham fathered Isaac.#Mt 1:2 20Isaac was forty years old when he took as his wife Rebekah#Gn 24:15,29,67 daughter of Bethuel the Aramean from Paddan-aram#Gn 22:23 and sister of Laban the Aramean.#Gn 24:29 21Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife because she was childless.#Gn 11:30; 29:31; Ex 23:26; Jdg 13:2–3; 1Sm 2:5; Jb 24:21; Is 54:1; Lk 1:36; 23:29; Gl 4:27; Heb 11:11 The Lord was receptive to his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived.#1Sm 1:17; 1Ch 5:20; 2Ch 33:13; Ezr 8:23; Ps 127:3; Rm 9:10 22But the children inside her struggled with each other, and she said, "Why is this happening to me?" #25:22 Lit said, "If thus, why this I?" So she went to inquire of the Lord.#1Sm 9:9; 10:22 23And the Lord said to her:
Two nations are in your womb;
two peoples will come from you and be separated.
One people will be stronger than the other,#2Sm 8:14; Ob 18–21
and the older will serve the younger.#Gn 27:29; Mal 1:2–3; Rm 9:12
24When her time came to give birth, there were indeed twins in her womb. 25The first one came out red-looking,#25:25 In Hb, red-looking sounds like "Edom"; Gn 32:3. covered with hair#25:25 In Hb, hair sounds like "Seir"; Gn 32:3. like a fur coat, and they named him Esau.#Gn 27:11,16,23 26After this, his brother came out grasping Esau's heel with his hand.#Hs 12:3 So he was named Jacob.#25:26 = He Grasps the Heel#Gn 27:36 Isaac was sixty years old when they were born.
Esau Sells His Birthright
27When the boys grew up, Esau became an expert hunter, an outdoorsman,#25:27 Lit a man of the field but Jacob was a quiet man who stayed at home.#25:27 Lit man living in tents 28Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for wild game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.#Gn 27:4–9
29Once when Jacob was cooking a stew, Esau came in from the field exhausted. 30He said to Jacob, "Let me eat some of that red stuff, because I'm exhausted." That is why he was also named Edom.#25:30 = Red
31Jacob replied, "First sell me your birthright."
32"Look," said Esau, "I'm about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?"
33Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore to Jacob and sold his birthright to him. 34Then Jacob gave bread and lentil stew to Esau; he ate, drank, got up, and went away. So Esau despised his birthright.#Heb 12:16–17

Soft colors adorn the figures of this nativity. Surrounded by the three wise men and a shepherd, the Holy Family rests. An ox, donkey and sheep repose nearby as well. The figures, the tallest of which is 7-3/4 inches tall, are painted in soft colors and include details that give this set an air of authenticity. The set comes with a roomy stable made to look like wood and stone accented with moss.


First, there's the House Goritsi Gotha Knights. They are the most honorable soldiers dedicated to House Goritsi, these monstrous warriors bring a new stalwart refusal to yield against any number of foes. Once the werewolves dig in their clawed feet, their deathcleavers bring a swift demise to those who test them. While much of House Goritsi is used to hit-and-run tactics, the Gotha Knights are more hit-and-hit-again unit. They're the bullies of the battlefield, wading into enemy forces and taking them out with extreme prejudice.
So, what can possibly stand up to them? Well, House Nasir would say that their Firehawk Reavers could do the job. Dedicated assault specialists, Firehawks turn in their duelist's blades for deadly war tridents to become the spearhead of House Nasier offensives. While they might appear slow, they can jump into action at a moment's notice. They excel at moving from unit to unit, doing damage to the enemy forces. Their efficiency comes from their Raid Leader's ability to negate enemy special defenses.
These two units are ready to take up their House's banner and head to the battlefield. Neither one is willing to yield, and so when they reach the enemy lines, you know something's about to break.

Expert Series Webinars & Videos


1. We all hang out with Eminem on a regular basis, drinking 40s and smoking blunts.
Because it only makes sense that between the millions of people who also reside here that I would know him? Actually, no. I didn't grow up with him and I don't know his kid.
2. We all just drive to Canada for free healthcare.
Does that work? Clearly I have been living life wrong. Last I heard, Canada will unfortunately not pay for my healthcare should I get injured or fall ill while visiting.
3. You're from Detroit? But .. you're white.
That's right — this whole shade of white covering my body is not some big birthmark. It is also true that I am not the only Caucasian resident from Detroit. The city is thriving with people from all walks of life. Just like most major cities, it is a melting pot of people who live together.
4. That we're all in gangs.
I grew up in Detroit as a child/teenager — my gang was my mother and brother. We did a lot of crazy stuff together like eat meals, celebrate holidays, welcome people into our home, Oh, and we did chores. Mom was the leader of the gang and what she said was the rules.
5. That we must have spent time in the clank.
When I was 12 years old and grounded for the entire summer, that was my only version of the clank. As for prison, no. I am proud to say I haven't screwed up so bad that I had to take an extended visit there.
6. That our only passion is the Red Wings.
Actually, I don't watch any sports. If I have time to watch anything, I am watching Friends again on Netflix.
There are hookers in Detroit. Are they everywhere? No.
8. That we all live on 8 Mile.
Actually I did, and more than once. 8 Mile stretches through various neighborhoods and isn't exactly identical to Eminem's movie portrayal along the entire length. Some areas of 8 Mile are not that great, but for the most part it's fine. Would I live there now? Sure. Like I said, it's a big road.
9. That we are Juggalos.
I know ICP is from Detroit but that doesn't mean I have to surrender to liking everything from the city. I tried to get into their music when I was about 13 but it never really stuck.
10. We all must have been shot at least once in our life.
I had never seen a gun until I was over 21 — and even then, it wasn't being pulled on me.
11. We all depend on welfare to survive.
Detroit is not a city full of people living off the state. Like all other cities, there are people who need assistance (and that is not something to be ashamed of), but it is not the entire city. Believe it or not, people still work for a living here.
