Q: Use different line separator in awk I have a file as follows:
cat file

00:29:01|10.3.57.60|dbname1| SELECT
    re.id,
    re.event_type_cd,
    re.event_ts,
    re.source_type,
    re.source_id,
    re.properties
 FROM
    table1 re
 WHERE
    re.id > 621982999
    AND re.id <= 884892348
 ORDER BY
    re.id
^
00:01:00|10.3.56.101|dbname2|BEGIN;declare "SQL_CUR00000000009CE140" cursor for SELECT  id, cast(event_type_cd as character(4)) event_type_cd, CAST(event_ts AS DATE) event_ts, CAST(source_id AS character varying(100)) source_id, CAST(tx_id AS character varying(100)) tx_id, CAST(properties AS character varying(4000)) properties, CAST(source_type AS character(1)) source_type FROM table1 WHERE  ID > 514725989 ORDER BY ID  limit 500000;fetch 500000 in "SQL_CUR00000000009CE140"^

These are the output of sql results delimited by pipe (|). In order to identify new line I used ^ at the end of each row.
I want to get the output as:
1/00:29:01|10.3.57.60|parasol_ams| SELECT
    re.id,
    re.event_type_cd,
    re.event_ts,

But when I am using:
cat file  | awk -F '|'  -v RS="^"  '{ print FNR "/" $0 }'

I get:
1/00:29:01|10.3.57.60|parasol_ams| SELECT
    re.id,
    re.event_type_cd,
    re.event_ts,

Ce sont des plantes herbacées vivaces, rhizomateuses ou stolonifères aux tiges pouvant atteindre de 60 à 100 cm de long, et au aux inflorescences digitées ou subdigitées composées de racèmes spiciformes.
Plusieurs espèces sont des mauvaises herbes des cultures. Certaines espèces sont utilisées comme plantes fourragères ou pour constituer des pelouses.

Étymologie
Le nom scientifique du genre Cynodon vient du grec , , « chien » et , , « dent ». Se traduisant littéralement par « dent de chien », il fait référence aux feuilles pointues de la plante ou au rhizome qui porte de fins bourgeons blancs, aigus et recourbés, évoquant plus ou moins bien des canines de chiens. Le nom vernaculaire de chiendent rappelle ce caractère.

Nuclear talks fail once again
Online: Oct 07, 2019
It is a measure of the difficulty in negotiating with North Korea — and the prospects for eventual success — that Washington and Pyongyang cannot even agree on the proper characterization of their meeting in Stockholm last weekend. U.S. State Department officials called the first round of working-level talks in eight months a "good discussion," while their North Korean counterparts said the negotiations "broke down" and the lead diplomat pronounced himself "very displeased."
Ultimately, the differences may not matter: U.S. President Donald Trump remains committed to his relationship with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, regardless of progress — or lack thereof — in nuclear talks.
There have been no negotiations between the U.S. and North Korea since the February Hanoi summit between Trump and Kim ended early without an agreement. The two men met again, briefly, in June, when Kim took up Trump's invitation to join him at the Demilitarized Zone when the Trump visited after the Osaka Group of 20 summit. While that moment made history — Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to visit North Korea when he stepped across the line dividing the Korean Peninsula — it had no impact on the nuclear stalemate.
North Korea accuses Washington of failing to live up to promises made at the first summit between Trump and Kim, in Singapore in 2018. Pyongyang is incensed that the U.S. and South Korea continue to hold military exercises, arguing that they are a breach of the agreement signed at that meeting, are a rehearsal for an invasion and prove that the U.S. has hostile intent toward the North. Pyongyang demands that the U.S., as proof of its goodwill, end the crippling economic sanctions that it has imposed. In the absence of such a gesture, Pyongyang will not provide an accounting of its nuclear program.
For the U.S., Japan and many other countries, North Korea's logic is backward. They insist that Pyongyang must first declare its nuclear capabilities and facilities, and only after it has disarmed will sanctions be lifted.
In hopes of ending this standoff, negotiators met in Stockholm on Friday and Saturday to find common ground. That effort proved fruitless. After a day of talks, North Korea's envoy, Kim Myong Gil, derided his counterparts for showing up "empty-handed," and said the breakdown was "entirely due to the United States' failure to abandon its outdated viewpoint and attitude."
A U.S. State Department spokesperson countered the U.S. team brought "creative ideas" and "a number of new initiatives" to the talks. After the U.S. said it was prepared to resume the negotiations in two weeks, a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesperson rejected that option, saying the country had "no intention to hold such sickening negotiations" until "the U.S. takes a substantial step to make complete and irreversible withdrawal of the hostile policy toward the DPRK."
If negotiations have gone nowhere, North Korea's military capabilities have steadily improved. While it has maintained a self-imposed moratorium on nuclear tests its missile modernization program marches forward. It has had eight missile tests since the collapse of the Hanoi summit.
The most recent was the Oct. 3 launch of a new, submarine-based ballistic missile that landed in Japan's exclusive economic zone near Shimane Prefecture. The test occurred a day before the nuclear talks were to resume, a pointed reminder of the stakes. North Korea has warned Washington that the U.S. must make "a bold decision" by the end of the year or face the consequences. Envoy Kim explained that his country's readiness to honor its moratorium on nuclear and missile testing "entirely depends on the stance of the United States."
Pyongyang knows that the only audience that counts is Trump. North Korea has warned that Kim is only interested in meeting Trump again if the U.S. president takes a bold step. That gambit plays to Trump's ego and effectively marginalizes working-level talks. The strategy appears to be working. Trump has been silent about the tests and the breakdown of the talks, but has hinted that another meeting is possible and soon, while noting that North Korea must denuclearize.
Meanwhile, Japan, South Korea and other governments complain about the tests, noting that they are violations of United Nations Security Council resolutions. This week, the UNSC will hold consultations on last week's tests after Britain, France and Germany called for a meeting.
While Japan continues to demand implementation of the Singapore declaration, there is concern that Trump cares only about North Korea's ability to threaten the U.S. homeland and will only object to long-range missile tests, a position that seems to decouple Japan's security from that of the U.S. Last week's launch is proof that such a focus is dangerous. If North Korea can fire a nuclear weapon from a submarine, it does not need a ICBM to threaten the U.S. North Korea moves forward as nuclear talks stand still.

EN:The business readiness game Liander is to assess whether the Liander organization is ready for a major operation in the coming years. This is achieved through a "simulation game" in conjunction with a workshop simulating all business processes and possible eventualities. During the game players experience unexpected events (which can also be found in real life) and have to work together to solve these issues and take appropriate actions that are then reincorporated into the game.
"CONVOY": Logistic Coordination and Teambuilding Game
"Convoy" is a PC strategy game that is played in teams of three or four people. Each player controls a truck that they have to accompany to the end goal without accidents, all of this in a procedural generated map. By playing the game the following competences are learned and / or strengthened: team building skills, analytical skills, organizational skills, adjusting to change and decision making. The game will be played during a class / workshop setting with different teams. Each team plays in its own game session and each member plays the game on their own PC. The team leader of each team determines the difficulty and size to generate the map. After the sessions, the players see the final results.

In the game players get the opportunity to create their own garden by planting, harvesting and taking care of their crops. By doing so they will earn experience points to unlock new plants and decorations for their garden. Players can also scan real life products to unlock them in the game.
"MARITIME SPATIAL PLANNING 2050" PC Simulatio
Responsible for the new User Interface and User Experience design. QA testing and bug reporting.
http://atlantisgames.nl/msp-challenge-2050-marine-spatial-planning/nggallery/page/2
The goal of MSP Challenge 2050 is to give the players more insight in the consequences of making certain decisions in space and time by means of a simulation game. Players have to plan and execute on sea and the coastal area. Within the game the players see the same sea and they can plan within their own (economic) area. Consequences are calculated for the whole sea and are calculated on basis of rules of the "real" world. In the background a simplified food model "Ecopath" is used and a cause/result system which calculates all the influences of the plans. The consequences are visualized by changes on the virtual map and a dashboard with indicators.
The game is played real-time; the component "time" plays an important role in the game. MSP 2050 is a multi-player serious game which uses the planning process to visualize long term influences/consequences of decisions.
Atlantis Games BV and all the MSP partners is going to bring more functionality into the game:
Increase the game experience and interaction; the player gets more and better feedback of the consequences of decisions made. The graphics will give the game more realistic results, are more accessible and more attractive for the player
Extension of the functionality of the game by implementing a calculation model on basis of an existing fishing model (in future more models will be implemented)
End 2012 the Technical University of Delft started with the follow up of MSP 2011, a simulation game named Maritime Spacial Planning 2050.
The past year MSP 2050 has been played several times both national as well as international. Some 25 experts from various countries (France, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Ireland, England, Poland, Estland, Belgium, Canada) were very enthusiastic about the game.
"WAREHOUSE GAMIFICATION" Tablet
Responsible for the User Interface and User Experience design. QA testing and bug reporting.
Gamification techniques were used on the Kuehne & Nagel Warehouse to promote teamwork, safety, productivity and most important: fun!

Home Metro Vancouver New 6.5 km walking and biking trail planned for West Vancouver
New 6.5 km walking and biking trail planned for West Vancouver
North Shore News
Brent Richter
The District of West Vancouver is looking to build a 6.5-kilometre walking and biking trail linking the neighbourhoods above the Upper Levels Highway.
The district recently closed a bidding process seeking firms to conduct a feasibility study and produce concept designs for a multi-use pathway linking Westcot Road at the entrance to the British Properties to Cypress Bowl Road.
The proposed route for the new Upper Levels Trail through West Vancouver. Photo supplied.
The proposal stems from a 2017 study of the municipality's pedestrian network, which recommended better east-west active transportation options for the area.
"The trail will serve as an important recreation and transportation amenity for such uses as walking, jogging, cycling, in-line skating, and wheeling with the aid of a mobility device," the district's request for proposal states. "It will provide an important means of movement for persons of all ages, abilities and fitness levels while improving physical connections between neighbourhoods, schools, churches, parks and intersecting trails."
The stretch between 21st Street and Folkestone Way along Skilift Road has already been constructed with bike lanes and a sidewalk. The district is currently working on detailed design for the segment at the far western end between Taylor Way and 3rd Street, according to the request for proposals. But the winning firm will be asked to pitch ideas for the more challenging sections, including new crossings over Rodgers and Larson creeks.
The trail may take different forms depending on the segment – a low speed shared greenway, a multi-use path, or separated bike lanes and sidewalk.
According to the district, the trail would be on district land or land under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure.
Once the feasibility study is complete, the district is planning to start public consultations before any detailed design work is done.

News from the run
by Daniele De Gruttola. Published: 30 April 2011
After the intermediate energy proton-proton run, at 2.76 TeV, performed very successfully in March - followed by a technical stop - ALICE started, in April, an important period of tests and calibrations and is now back to doing physics.
Following the technical stop some days were spent to check the stability of the subsystems, profiting of the period used by LHC to perform the scrubbing run. The cleaning of the vacuum chamber, performed using high intensity beams with small bunch spacing, took around ten days, then the machine was able to inject more than 1000 bunches, with a 50 nanoseconds spacing between the trains.
The results of the scrubbing run exceeded expectations and it was decided to use 50 nanoseconds bunch spacing, instead of 75 nanoseconds as planned at the beginning of the year, for the luminosity production.
LHC then started the intensity ramp-up phase, which reached the level of 624 bunches per beam on 28 April.
ALICE used the first week of stable beams to perform a study of the behaviour of the TPC at high interaction rate, the calibration of EMCAL (>50 million events) and Photon Spectrometer (>10 million events) and Cherenkov ring studies with High Momentum Particle Identification (~200 million events). Physics with the Muon Arm has also been performed in parallel, with more than 100 million events recorded.
The second half of the month has been witness to the instantaneous luminosity, 4.67 x 1032 cm-2s-1, not only the highest collision rate ever achieved at the LHC, but also the highest ever at a hadron collider, exceeding the largest instantaneous luminosity recorded by Tevatron at Fermilab. At the time of writing the LHC has exceeded its previous record; achieving on the 29 April a peak luminosity of 6.7 x 1032 cm-2s-1.
From 25 April ALICE is back to data taking with minimum bias trigger, ~94 million events recorded in two days with a data taking efficiency of ~92% in the first two fills, reaching ~96% in the last fill with 13 colliding bunches in ALICE.

Palm Desert 7, Palm Springs 3: Elise Stein, Sarah Nichols, Alissa Clyde, Shanna Heller, Cassie Bija, Samantha Stein and Savannah Clyde all scored and goalies Savannah Clyde and Abree McCabe had six and four saves, respectively, for the Aztecs.
Rancho Mirage 3, Twentynine Palms 1: Wildcats sophomore Rhyen Smith scored early in the second half on an assist from Sam Eggers to tie the game through 70 minutes before two late goals by Rancho Mirage sealed it over the weekend. Wildcats goalkeeper KJ Morton recorded 14 saves in the loss.
Desert Christian Academy 3, Upland Christian Academy 2: In a battle of two teams sitting atop their respective league standings, DCA's Cade Burt, Jake Bazua and Scott Jones each scored for the Conquerors in victory. Casey Harrell and Davis Jensen had assists, and Jones scored on an intercepted pass for the late game winner. DCA goalie Matthew Goodwyn had 10 saves for the Conquerors (14-8-1), who host Palm Valley on Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. in their final league match of the season.
Yucca Valley 4, Twentynine Palms 1: Junior Ryan Stowers assisted Rhyen Smith on the lone goal in the first half for the Wildcats in the loss.
Shadow Hills 62, Desert Mirage 26: Shadow Hills ended a four game skid on Senior Night as freshman Dominique Urbina set another career high with 29 points. She also added seven rebounds, six steals and five assists. Melissa Martinez had 16 points and 19 rebounds. Natalia Johnson added seven points, eight rebounds and three steals. Torri Osgood had five points and 12 rebounds
Shadow Hills (13-9, 7-4) plays at Desert Hot Springs at 6 p.m. Friday.
Desert Mirage 3, Desert Hot Springs 1: The Rams won at DHS for the first time in school history, and with one more win they can make the playoffs for the first time in school history. Kaisy Cordova had two goals assisted by Jacqueline Gatica and Maria Gonzalez, Linda Diaz scored a 30 yard direct kick.
COD golf: College of the Desert men's golf finished first out of nine teams in Monday's Victor Valley Pneumonia Invitational, a better-ball event featuring three teams of two players from each team. With a team score of 201, Kenzo Vlassaks and Blaine Baker finished with a 66, Ryan Emery and Michael Starbuck a 67, and Michael Schaloum and Sam Jackson a 68 for the Roadrunners.
With just two days left in the 2016 California Winter League season the battle for positioning atop the league standings is heating up with the Manitoba North Stars, Canada A's, Toronto Rush, and New York Colonials all separated by just a single game at the start of the day's action.
Toronto 6, British Columbia 1: With a win, the Rush (10-4) would move a half game ahead of the Canada A's for sole possession of second place, and could possibly move them into first place pending the result of Manitoba's ballgame later in the afternoon.The game got underway with a bang as Pete Leonello smacked a base hit to center before coming around to score on Blake Marchant's RBI single to give the Bombers (4-9-1) a 1-0 lead. This would prove to be the high point for the Bombers, as the Rush would score two runs of their own in the bottom half of the first to take the lead 2-1, and starter Seth Powers would recover from his early struggles to allow just one hit over the next four innings while striking out six Bombers.
New York 7, Palm Springs Power 0: Needing a win to stay alive in the hunt for a first round playoff bye, the Colonials (8-4-1) turned to their ace, Tanner Kiest, who delivered a dominant performance over six scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and striking out ten Power (6-7) batters. On the offensive side, Joe Jensen drove in three runs on the day, while every Colonial starter reached base at least once. Brian Wiest relived Kiest and pitched a scoreless seventh to earn the save.
Palm Springs Chill 4, Washington 4: Like the Colonials, the Palm Springs Chill (7-4-2) needed a strong performance from their ace Ryan Strombom in order to keep themselves within striking distance of the crucial second seed. In the early going it seemed like the Chill would carry the day, as their offense scored four times in the first inning against Washington Blue Sox starter Kevin Nutley –thanks in part to Devin Alexander's two-run double. These would prove to be the only Chill runs of the ballgame, as Nutley righted the ship with a scoreless second, and three Sox relievers –Kenny Knudsen, TJ Whidby, and Luke Barker– combined to allow just a single Chill baserunner the rest of the way.
Alberta 4, Midwest 3: In what was perhaps the day's most exciting finish, recent San Rafael Pacifics signee Kyle Adie hit a two run single in the bottom of the seventh inning to lead the Alberta Grizzly (7-5-1) to a walk off victory over the Midwest Haymakers. With the game tied at a run apiece, the Haymakers scored two in the fifth thanks to RBIs from Ryan Gerber and Sheehan Planas-Arteaga, and led 3-1 into the seventh. After a leadoff walk to Brett Huffman, Brian Fay smashed a double to put the tying runs on second and third. Haymakers manager Gabe Suarez then ordered his pitcher Jashawn McDaniel to walk Tyler Gurman intentionally to load the bases. McDaniel then struck out the next batter, but allowed an RBI single to Tanner Oymaian which set the stage for Kyle Adie, who cashed in the final two runs of the ballgame for the Grizzly with a single up the middle.
Oregon 8, Manitoba 4: Jordan Runcie-Hubbard led the charge for the 'Jacks, going 4-for-4 with a triple and four runs scored on the day, while Brendan Remalia contributed a hit and an RBI to push his team leading batting average to .381. For the North Stars, Dakota Freese struck out six over six gritty innings as the hard luck loser, and Victor Barron launched his league-leading fourth home run, a towering blast in the seventh that cut the Oregon lead to 8-4. The loss pushes Manitoba out of first place for the first time in over a week, as they now trail Toronto Rush by half a game heading into the season's final day.
The California Winter League continues on Tuesday with the final day of the regular season. First up will be Manitoba North Stars vs the Coachella Valley Snowbirds, followed by the Palm Deserts Coyotes and Palm Springs Chill at noon, and the Midwest Haymakers and Palm Springs Power at 2:30 p.m. It will be Two-for-Tuesday, including $2 admission, $2 hot dogs, $2 soft drinks, and $2 beer.

198. The Hollies – I'm Alive (1965)
December 1, 2018 January 9, 2020 / robbarker	/ 3 Comments
Mancunian beat outfit The Hollies were one of the most popular acts of the era, ratcheting up many weeks in the top 10 from 1963 onwards. They may have only had one number 1 in the 60s, but they did topple Elvis Presley.
The nucleus of the group, Allan Clarke and Graham Nash, were friends from primary school who, like so many others, were keen skiffle fans. They were also admirers of The Everly Brothers and began modelling themselves on them, becoming known as Ricky and Dane Young. Soon after they joined up with a local band called The Fourtones.
In 1962 their guitarist Derek Quinn quit to join Freddie and the Dreamers, so Clarke and Nash also jumped ship. They teamed up with another Manchester band called The Deltas, who had just lost a member to The Mindbenders. The Deltas consisted of guitarist Vic Steele, bassist Eric Haydock and Don Rathbone on drums.
That December, they changed their name to The Hollies. Exactly why is unclear. It used to be said that Haydock came up with the name in relation to the festive season, but in 2009 Nash said it was a group decision and was influenced by Christmas and their mutual love of Buddy Holly.
The Hollies performed at the Cavern Club in Liverpool in January 1963, where they came to the attention of Parlophone assistant producer Ron Richards. He offered the band an audition, but Steele chose to quit as he didn't want to turn professional. They replaced him with Tony Hicks, and they passed the audition, with Richards becoming their producer until well into the 70s. One of the songs they performed, a cover of the Coasters' (Ain't That) Just Like Me, became their debut single in May 1963. It did well, reaching number 25. After second single Searchin', Rathbone chose to leave, and Hicks' old bandmate Bobby Elliott became their new drummer.
In 1964 the Hollies went from strength to strength. Debut album Stay with the Hollies reached number two in the charts. And they scored hit after hit, most impressive of which was Just One Look. They stood out mainly due to the great harmonies of Clarke and Nash, and a tendency to pick strong songs to cover. By September Clarke, Nash and Hicks were penning their own tunes and Richards agreed to let them record and release We're Through as a single, which was another smash.
Some time in late 1964 or early 1965, Clint Ballard Jr approached the Hollies with a song he'd written especially for them. Ballard was a US songwriter who had discovered and managed The Kalin Twins, who had a UK number 1 with When in 1958. He had written Good Timin' for Jimmy Jones, which went to the top in 1960. His timing with the Hollies was bad initially, as they passed on I'm Alive and it ended up in the hands of fellow Mancunians The Toggery Five. Perhaps they didn't want to rely too much on covers, but they relented and recorded their own version in May and released it ASAP. And on 24 June the number 1 spot was finally theirs.
It's all about the uplifting, anthemic chorus really, otherwise I'm not sure there's much of a song there. But the harmonies are strong as ever and there's some impressive drum fills too, so the group do the best they can with somewhat average material. I've already forgotten the verses but 'I'm alive!' is a nice earworm.
The Hollies battled with Presley for a few weeks, with Crying in the Chapel returning to number 1 after a week, but I'm Alive won the war and went back to the top for a further fortnight. It would be 23 years before an advertising campaign helped get the Hollies back to number 1 in 1988.

103. Jimmy Jones – Good Timin' (1960)
April 16, 2018 January 9, 2020 / robbarker	/ 2 Comments
One of my favourite songs by one of my favourite groups, Something Changed by Pulp is quite unlike most of the songs from their era of fame in the mid-1990s. It's a sweet love song, that ponders on how lives can be changed forever by the timing of random events. 'What's this got to do with a number 1 single from 1960?', you might ask. Well, Jimmy Jones's Good Timin' is similarly themed, although it fails to move me in the same way.
Good Timin' was written by Fred Tobias and Clint Ballard Jr (manager of The Kalin Twins, and later, the writer of I'm Alive, a 1965 number 1 for The Hollies) as a follow-up to Jimmy Jones' smash hit, Handy Man.
Jones was born in Birmingham, Alabama o 2 June 1937. He was a tap dancer before joining the doo-wop group The Berliners in 1954, before they changed their name to The Sparks of Rhythm. The group recorded the song after Jones had left them in 1956.
Now a solo artist, Jones decided to rework Handy Man with Otis Blackwell, who wrote two legendary UK number 1s, All Shook Up and Great Balls of Fire. Blackwell could do no wrong back then, and with his memorable whistle featuring on the track, it rocketed to the top three in the US and UK.
Good Timin' has more energy than many of the number 1s of the 60s that precede it, but it's a minor entry at best, and probably did so well off the back of Handy Man. Jones compares the timing of his relationship with that of the story of David and Goliath, pointing out that if it wasn't for good timing, David wouldn't have found the stone that he used to kill Goliath. Hmm, this seems a bit incongruous to me. I can't help comparing it to Something Changed, which is unfair I know, but:
'Do you believe that there's someone up above/And does he have a timetable directing acts of love?' is far more effective than:
'If little, little David hadn't grabbed that stone
Alyin' there on the ground
Big Goliath might've stomped on him
Instead of the other way 'round'.
Ah well, Good Timin' is more about the feel and sound I guess. Trouble is, that doesn't do a lot for me either. Jones's appeal lay in his falsetto, which was to be an influence on Del Shannon (of Runaway fame), but the way he sings 'A tock, a tock, a tock, a tock' in the chorus sounds ridiculous to these ears. Nonetheless, it was catchy enough to enjoy a three-week stint at the top.
Jones's good timing started to run out after this song, with a few more hits troubling the charts before he faded into obscurity. He did however make the news when he sued Boy George, claiming he plagiarised Handy Man for Culture Club's 1983 number 1 Karma Chameleon, changing 'Come-a, come-a, come-a, come-a…' to 'Karma, karma, karma, karma…'. They settled out of court, with Boy George later claiming it took '10 pence and an apple' (according to New York Daily News' obituary on Jones). Jones was a fixture on the Northern Soul circuit for the last two decades of his life. He died on 2 August 2012, aged 82.

Bookish Thursday: Imagine Lily Chin in Slow Motion!
I love love love Lily chin! I do! she is a creative, knowledgeable and accomplished knitter and crocheter! (is crocheter a word?) I have toyed with taking a class with her at Rhinebeck and at another venue, but there is one problem! She talks so very fast even I can't keep up!
That is why I was so very excited when I heard from Potter Craft Publishing that she was coming out with two tip books.
It's like putting Lily in slow motion, or better yet pause!!! I can have her tips handy, by throwing the book in my knitting bag, and taking her along! The books are the perfect size for that!
Each is jam packed full with her terrific ideas, shortcuts and tips! If you are a visual learner like me there are plenty of diagrams and drawings to help you figure things out as well!
So grab a copy for yourself and take Lily along with you wherever you go!

Q: Create files from sheet I'd like to have Apps Script create a new spreadsheet based on names in a sheet. For instance, if my list of names (in column 7) were:

*

*Bender@interpret.org.nz

*Fry@interpret.org.nz

*Hermes@interpret.org.nz

*Leela@interpret.org.nz

*Nibbler@interpret.org.nz

I'd like the script to iterate through this list, replace the string with just the name (minus the email domain), search the drive for an existing file that matches the name.
Also, if there is an existing file, do nothing, else create a sheet with the name.
My code below seems to be iterating through the list and replacing the string but there is an issue with the last two steps.
It would see that Bender does not exist, and it would create a Bender file, but then it creates additional Bender files as it iterates through the list, and does not create the other missing files.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
function findExistingSheets() {
      var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById('SpreadSheetKey').getSheetByName('ISheetName');
      var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
      var files = DriveApp.getFolderById("FileKeyID").getFiles();
        for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) {
          var searchFor = data[i][7].replace("@interpret.org.nz","");
            while (files.hasNext()) {
              var file = files.next();
              if(searchFor == file.getName()){
                //Don't do anything
              }
              else {
                //Create speadsheet file with the matchfile name.
                var newFile = SpreadsheetApp.create(searchFor);
              }
            }
        }
      Logger.log(searchFor);
    }

A: Try this.  I haven't tested it, but I think it will get you close.
function findExistingSheets() {
      var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById('SpreadSheetKey').getSheetByName('ISheetName');
      var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();

      var titles = [];
      for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++)
      {
        titles.push(data[i][7].replace("@interpret.org.nz",""));
      }
      var files = DriveApp.getFolderById("FileKeyID").getFiles();
      while (files.hasNext())
      {
          var file = files.next();
          var idx = idxOf(titles,file.getName());
          if(idx>-1)
          {
            var newFile = SpreadsheetApp.create(titles[idx]);
          }
      }
    }

function idxOf(array, x)
{
  for(var i = 0;i < array.length;i++)
  {
    if(array[i]==x)
    {
      return i;
     }
  }
  return -1;
}

Losing steam

The lack of a robust global recovery since 2008, protectionist tendencies in the U.S. and the uncertainty surrounding offshoring are taking the sheen off India's IT industry.
THERE is a sense of gloom pervading India's $150-billion information technology (IT) industry, which earned India $88 billion in foreign exchange in 2015-16 through the exports of software and IT-enabled services (ITeS). According to data from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), the rate of growth of the combined exports of software and ITeS fell from 20.8 per cent in 2012-13 to 14.9 per cent in 2014-15 and to a low of 7.3 per cent in 2015-16. Global circumstances combined with the specific nature of India's IT prowess seem to be responsible for this fall. India's IT industry recorded remarkable growth over a long period because it exploited an outsourcing opportunity by perfecting a global delivery model for software and ITeS based on cheap skilled labour. That opportunity was offered by the cost-cutting imperatives facing the corporate sector in the United States and elsewhere.
As a result, IT industry revenues grew in double digits, with export earnings accounting for a large share of those revenues. Employment grew rapidly, albeit from a low base and at a lower pace than revenues. And a service industry to support the IT sector's growth grew around the principal centres of its activity, suggesting that despite the absence of physical production the sector had backward linkages through which it delivered some economy-wide benefits. This combination of the characteristics of India's IT success not only gave the industry a position of privilege in the economy but made it the symbol of India's ostensible post-globalisation success.
However, there were a number of features of that model that made it vulnerable to changes in circumstances. To start with, it had a high degree of dependence on exports for growth, with the U.S. accounting for a very large share of those exports, followed by the European Union (E.U.) at a distant second. At the turn of the century, the U.S. market accounted for close to two-thirds of India's IT exports and the E.U. for about a quarter, and even in 2015-16, the U.S. was first with 62 per cent and Europe second with 24 per cent. Little had changed for the industry.
Secondly, software services (or code writing and customisation of different levels of sophistication) and ITeS, rather than IT products, accounted for an overwhelming share of revenues. To garner those revenues, a workforce with essential IT skills and familiarity with English, communication infrastructure, and the requisite organisation were the necessary ingredients. But sustaining those revenues required constant attention to cost competitiveness, which encouraged automation of the routine activities that constitute an important part of the industry's operations.
Thirdly, this output composition required combining offshore delivery with local services provision to understand client requirements and customise services and even run operations. So, on-site work remained an important component of the industry's activity. In 2002-03, 48 per cent of India's exports of IT services was through the medium of a commercial presence on foreign soil and another 13.5 per cent through the presence of natural persons. By 2015-16 those figures had come down to 18.9 per cent and 16.1 per cent respectively. But the local presence, which ensured provision of 35 per cent of the value services that had risen in value from Rs.31,100 crore to Rs.5,76,310 crore between 2002-03 and 2015-16, was undoubtedly large and crucial to the industry's performance.
Finally, a few firms (such as Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys and Wipro) account for a very large share of the industry's revenues, drawing attention to their operations and brand as happened in the U.S. recently.
Impact of recession
Given these characteristics, a range of developments since the global crisis of 2007-08 have been posing challenges to the industry. Since the financial crisis and the Great Recession that followed originated in the U.S. and affected mainly the developed countries, the main markets of the industry have turned volatile. On average, demand growth has been sluggish by historical standards. Overall, precisely at a time when the industry had grown to maturity and was hard put to maintain market share and grow at dramatic rates, the markets themselves were losing momentum.
Moreover, the absence of any robust recovery a decade after the crisis first broke has set off protectionist tendencies. These take two forms. One is the complaint, raised during the course of the Donald Trump campaign and now influencing policy, that on-site provision of services by firms from India based on H1-B visas involves the importation of cheap labour for tasks that can be easily performed by available and unemployed local labour. If true, the consequence is the absence of adequate jobs for those who expect a higher wage. That is, the activities of India-based firms are seen as displacing jobs that could accommodate unemployed local workers.
The other effect of the recession is greater critical attention to the offshoring process, which is seen as taking U.S. jobs abroad. So, measures to cajole, persuade and/or pressure firms to not go in for offshoring, even if they find the need to outsource certain activities, is on the increase. Given the corporate interests involved here, the extent to which offshoring can be restrained is unclear. But the uncertainty it creates remains. In the event, to deal with what in its view is a "misuse" of H1-B visas, the Trump administration, under its "Hire American" programme, has chosen to set a high floor to the annual salary that must be paid to those with that visa. Trump has issued an executive order ostensibly aimed at preventing fraud in the use of such visas, and making sure that they are used only to import workers with advanced degrees and higher skills. The quality of applicants for visas is to be partly judged on the basis of the salary paid. Financial Times quoted a senior administration official as saying that "(m)ore than 80 per cent of the workers now on H1-B visas earn less than the U.S. median wage for their jobs" and "(j)ust 5 per cent have earnings in the highest wage tier".
As a result, there is legislation being considered by the U.S. Congress that would set a floor to the annual salary of a H1-B worker at $130,000 as compared with the minimum annual salary of $60,000 currently required to be paid to staff relocated to the U.S. This would make it difficult for Indian services exporters to remain competitive without significantly reducing profits, especially since the delivery model does rely on the use of on-site workers. In addition, there is talk that the number of H1-B visas issued could be reduced from the current level of 85,000 a year. Indian citizens account for 70 per cent of those H1-B visas issued, according to data from the U.S. Department of State. So, a reduction would affect them and the firms who use them the most.
Simply put, both the high salary floor and any reduction in the number of H1-B visas will have an adverse effect on jobs for Indian workers. Already, Infosys, the largest India-based applicant for H1-B visas in the year ended September 2016, has decided to win favour with the new administration by promising to hire workers in the U.S. for local operations. In early May, Infosys announced that it would hire 10,000 workers and open four technology centres in the U.S. over the next two years. Interestingly, the first of these centres is to be located in the state of Indiana, from where Vice President Mike Pence hails. The employment bonanza for an educated Indian middle class that the IT sector offered seems to be under threat.
Meanwhile, falling revenues per employee resulting from depressed markets and non-buoyant services opportunities are forcing IT companies to think of a technology upgrade that would reduce aggregate recruitment at the margin. Routine processes are to be automated and new activities embraced that would require a smaller number of workers with newer skills. The result is a significant rise in lay-offs, which is sending tremors through the workforce but is being dismissed by the industry as normal retrenchment based on skill and performance appraisals. But, even according to industry body Nasscom (National Association of Software and Services Companies), hiring over the financial year was down to 150,000 additional jobs, compared with 230,000 three years ago.
Dismal hardware scene
These causes for gloom in the Indian IT industry are likely to be compounded by parallel developments elsewhere in the industry. Those developments are attributable to a major weakness in India's embrace of IT. India's performance as a hardware producer has been dismal. The result has been lopsided growth focussed on software services accompanied by stagnation in hardware. Thus, a special study by the Central Statistical Organisation (CSO) undertaken in 2010 found that while the share of the information and communications technology (ICT) sector (including ITeS) in gross domestic product (GDP) had risen from 3.4 to 5.9 per cent between 2000-01 and 2007-08 (India's high growth years), the share of ICT services in ICT GDP had risen from an already high 89.5 per cent to 94.2 per cent during those years.
More recent data from the National Science Foundation of the U.S. suggests that this lopsided growth focussed only on ICT services has continued. Thus, while value added (or revenues minus non-labour input costs) in India's computer programming and related services industry (which excludes ITeS) rose from $2,974 million in 2000 to $19,568 million in 2014, that in the sector producing computers and office machinery rose from $209 million in 2000 to $775 million in 2011 before falling to $281 million in 2014. The overall picture was one of stagnation in the latter industry, with the share of the former in value added in both activities put together rising from 93.4 per cent to 98.6 per cent between 2000 and 2014.
Unfortunately, the stagnation in domestic hardware production has occurred in a period when computer use has been rising rapidly in the country and the government has been pushing for computerisation—in its own departments, in the banking sector and among the public at large. As a result, even by 2012, India was among the top 10 countries in the world in terms of personal computer use, with an installed base of 57 million personal computers. According to the International Telecommunications Union, the percentage of households in India with a computer rose from 6 per cent to 13 per cent just between 2010 and 2014. This rapid expansion combined with the large size of the population that is still digitally excluded points to the possibility of an explosion in hardware use.
The consequence of the combination of stagnation in production and expansion in use, according to data from the World Trade Organisation (WTO), has been a significant increase in the imports of computer hardware. Thus, imports of electronic data processing and office equipment rose in value from $1,413 million in 2000 to $4,481 million in 2008, and after a marginal fall in crisis year 2009, resumed its climb to reach $8,293 million in 2015. This climb is bound to continue and even gather pace.
It is in this light that India's success as a software services exporter has to be assessed. While it is true that exports of computer services and ITeS have risen from $16 billion in 2005 to $35 billion in 2008 and then (after the 2009 fall) further to $52 billion in 2011-12 and $88 billion in 2015-16, the pace of growth has slowed sharply in recent years. Not surprisingly, WTO data suggest that the ability of the IT sector to earn the foreign exchange needed to finance the imports of IT hardware has been shrinking. The ratio of computer hardware imports to exports of computer services, which was falling prior to the 2008 financial crisis, has since shown signs of rising.
The problem is that the failure to develop a domestic hardware base is not restricted to computers alone but is characteristic of the ICT sector as a whole, which is increasingly the sector of relevance given the rapid spread of mobile telephony and the substitution of communication devices for many operations earlier conducted with computers. Overall imports of ICT hardware into India have soared, especially after the boom in mobile telephony.
On the other hand, overall ICT exports still largely comprise and have been driven by IT and ITeS. Thus, once we shift attention to the ICT sector as a whole, the shortfall in software export earnings relative to expenditure on hardware imports is not an imminent danger but a current affliction. The ratio of dollar earnings from ICT services exports to expenditure on ICT hardware imports has fluctuated between just 3 and 4 per cent in all but one year over the last decade. Thus, while India's foray into software and ITeS exports has been remarkable, that growth has not just been slowing but loses a lot of its lustre when seen in light of the dismal performance of the country in hardware production. Not only is ICT a small component of the economy, lopsided growth even in this small segment can have extremely adverse balance of payments implications. In that case, the coming crisis can have damaging consequences for the economy, even if India's software czars remain among the wealthiest in the world.

Q: Selecting property from nested JSON array stored within Logic App variable I am struggling to select a property from a JSON array that I've stored in a variable (as an array). I receive the following error:

The execution of template action 'Select' failed: The evaluation of 'query' action >'where' expression '{
"Response": "@variables('UserEvents').responseStatus.response",
"trest": ""
}' failed: 'The template language expression >'variables('UserEvents').responseStatus.response' cannot be evaluated because property >'responseStatus' cannot be selected. Array elements can only be selected using an > integer index. Please see https://aka.ms/logicexpressions for usage details.'.

The JSON is below:
[
  {
    "value": [
      {
        "responseStatus": {
          "response": "notResponded",
          "time": "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
]

I'm trying to select the 'response' property only by using the following expression:
@variables('UserEvents').responseStatus.response
I have tried adding [0] to various parts of the above expression but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I am sure it's pretty simple and I'm just getting the syntax wrong, but am completely stuck!
Any help appreciated - thanks.
Adrian

A:  @{
    variables('UserEvents') ? ['value'] ? [0] ? ['response']
  }

Try that. The integer index mentioned in the error is the way around this. May need to play around with the structure to make it match your data but [0] will make it select the first object within your value array.

A: There are 2 ways to get the properties inside a nested JSON
WAY - 1 (Try to get properties using For-each loop)
For this we need to use 2 for-each loops to retrieve the property inside the nested JSON After Parsing the JSON. Below is the screenshot of my logic app for your reference.

WAY - 2 (Using Dynamic Expression)
Here is the Expression that worked for me.
body('Parse_JSON')?[0]?['value']?[0]?['responseStatus']?['response']

Since it is in Array of Array format we need to mention the index of the array. Below is the screenshot of my logic app for your reference :

Q: Adding badge number in UItabbarView Controller in runtme I am trying to add badge number in UITabBarController and it is working . But i started NSTimer . when timer completed . it calls webservice and in return i get badge number .
but when i set badge number to UITabBarController in this senario . it is no more working.

A: [[super.tabBarController.viewControllers objectAtIndex:2] tabBarItem].badgeValue = @"1";

A: It's hard to tell without seeing your code, but two possibilities spring to mind:

*

*You're trying to set the badge value from a thread that is not the main thread. Try wrapping your badge value setting code in a dispatch_async to the main queue:
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^
{
    // set badge number
});

*The item that you're setting the badgeValue on is nil. Try adding a breakpoint or some NSLog statements to the line where you add the badge number, and check the value of some of the objects isn't nil.

The Wire Troll: Juan Hernangomez Helped by Minny Injury
February 15, 2020 | By RotoRob | comment on this post
Juan Hernangomez (left) has made an immediate impact in Minnesota. (Frank Gunn/The Canadian Press via AP)
Welcome back to another week of Fantasy basketball analysis. With the NBA All-Star break upon us, now is the time to grab some gems off the wire while the rest of your league is distracted by all the hoopla.
This week, Jayson Tatum vindicated his All-Star selection with a monster game on Thursday; the Clippers are worried about Paul George after he reinjured his hammy; and Devin Booker has been named to his first All-Star Game, replacing the injured Damian Lillard.
And now, let's get to this week's Fantasy basketball waiver wire recommendations…
Juan Hernangomez, SF/PF, Minnesota Timberwolves (ESPN: 16.8 per cent; CBS: 19 per cent): We last pimped Hernangomez about a year and a half ago, and for two months he proved be an astute pickup, getting plenty of touches and shooting well before his PT decreased in the second half. Now, with Karl Anthony Towns out, the newly acquired Hernangomez is again an intriguing choice as he's scored at least 14 points in all three games since being dealt to Minny, and on Wednesday added 12 boards, a block and a steal. KAT may not be ready to return immediately after the break, but either way, Minnesota would like to get a chance to see how the two bigs interact down the stretch as the team assesses pending free agent Hernangomez's future with the Wolves. Last season at this time, Hernangomez was a Fantasy drop; now, the 15th overall pick from 2016 — who may yet develop into a solid NBAer — is an intriguing addition. It's really impressive how quickly he's been able to make an impact in Minnesota (see video below).
Landry Shamet, SG, Los Angeles Clippers (ESPN: 24.9 per cent; CBS: 22 per cent): Shamet has been shining with Patrick Beverley out and is likely to see even more PT if George's injury proves serious. Shamet has been especially effective from downtown lately, canning 19-of-39 from beyond the arc over the last five games. He's scored at least 11 points in each of the last three as his bucket count has been on the rise since the start of 2020, and is up overall this season. Shamet has been outplaying his projections and looks like a real nice pickup for the short term at the very least.
Duncan Robinson, SF, Miami Heat (ESPN: 44.2 per cent; CBS: 47 per cent): Robinson's long-distance shooting has garnered enough attention that he's participating in the Three-Point skills contest this weekend, so why isn't he on your Fantasy team? He's put up at least 17 points in four straight games, playing at least 31 minutes and recording at least three assists in each. Robinson's PT has been rising all season, and he's morphed into a major three-point asset, averaging 3.5 treys per game. We touted him in late-November, and this is your last chance to grab him before he's owned in over 50 per cent of leagues.
Furkan Korkmaz, SG, Philadelphia 76ers (ESPN: 14.5 per cent; CBS: 28 per cent): Back-to-back games of at least 31 points earned Korkmaz a ticket to the starting lineup, and while he had a clunker in his first game in the starting five, he's definitely worth a look. His PT is up to a season best 25.5 MPG this month, and he's taken a nice step forward with his bucket count this season. Korkmaz has even shown some dunk dazzle, eliciting some serious joy from Joel Embiid and the rest of the Sixers.
Malik Monk, PG/SG, Charlotte Hornets (ESPN: 19.9 per cent; CBS: 22 per cent): Monk has really elevated his game in February, scoring at least 11 points in every game, including Wednesday when he went off for 25 points, four boards, three assists, two blocks and a steal in 32 minutes. Charlotte will always be second guessed for taking him 11th overall in 2017 when Donovan Mitchell was still on the board, but Monk continues to slowly improve season by season. Monk has consistently been a reserve his entire career, but he's been making his case as a valuable sixth man lately, and that warrants some Fantasy attention.
Daniel Theis, C/PF, Boston Celtics (ESPN: 43.3 per cent; CBS: 41 per cent): Theis continues to be an unsung hero in Boston, but on a team lacking size, he's playing an important role and doing a tremendous job. He's scored nine or more points in four straight, putting up one double-double and flirting with others. Theis has been getting to the line more often than usual this month, and after seeing a slight uptick in touches last season, has become a bigger cog in the offense this season. You can do worse when looking for help at centre, and the fact that Boston was unable to add anyone at the deadline cements his role down the stretch.
RotoRob Tune of the Day
American rock band Chicago got its start way back in 1967 and has been at it in some form or another since. When it released its debut, self-titled album in 1969, the band was called Chicago Transit Authority. Two tracks from this effort found its way onto a 1971 single, and the A side was "Questions 67 and 68 (English Version)."
Now it's your turn. Let us know in the comments below who your favourite Fantasy basketball waiver wire pick of the week is.

CDC: Fatal Drug Overdoses Up 30% in 2020 | Healthiest Communities Health News
Jan 6, 2022 CDC, Communities, drug, Fatal, Health, Healthiest, News, Overdoses
Drug overdose deaths in the U.S. reached another record high in 2020 at more than 91,000, according to new government figures, far exceeding totals for the previous year.
Data released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics shows increases in drug overdose deaths among both men and women, across all racial and ethnic populations, and among all ages 15 and older for the year.
Estimates based on provisional data back in July indicated more than 93,000 drug overdose deaths had occurred in 2020. Though the final total of 91,799 fell short of that earlier tally, it still represents a 30% increase over the more than 70,000 deaths that occurred in 2019.
The age-adjusted drug overdose mortality rate increased by 31% in 2020, from 21.6 deaths per 100,000 standard population in 2019 to 28.3 per 100,000. Overdose deaths among men rose by 33% from nearly 48,000 in 2019 to 63,728 in 2020, while deaths among women increased by 23% from nearly 23,000 to 28,071 during the same period.
Across racial and ethnic lines, the report found American Indians or Alaska Natives continued to have the highest drug overdose death rate in 2020 at 42.5 deaths per 100,000. Yet the largest percentage increases were seen among Black individuals – for whom the death rate rose by 44%, from 24.8 per 100,000 in 2019 to 35.8 per 100,000 in 2020 – and among Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders, where the rate also increased by 44% from 9.5 per 100,000 to 13.7 per 100,000.
By comparison, the fatal overdose rate among whites rose by 26%, the rate among Hispanics rose by more than 38% and the rate among American Indians and Alaska Natives rose by 39%. The rate among Asians also rose by 39%.
Synthetic opioids, including fentanyl but excluding methadone, continued to be the primary driver of drug overdose deaths, with fatal overdoses involving such substances accounting for more than 60% of drug fatalities in 2020. The death rate tied to synthetic opioids rose 56% from 2019 to 2020, while the mortality rate increased for nearly all drugs studied in the report, including cocaine, methadone, semisynthetic and natural opioids like morphine and oxycodone, and psychostimulants such as methamphetamine.
The death rate from overdoses involving heroin saw the only decrease, dropping by nearly 7% from 4.4 deaths for every 100,000 people in 2019 to 4.1 deaths.
The report's findings highlight the profound impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on the country's opioid epidemic. Last month, provisional data from the CDC showed that the U.S. reached a record number of drug overdose deaths within a 12-month period, exceeding 100,000 by April 2021.
Some evidence points to a possible uptick in the number of individuals who started using drugs since the beginning of the pandemic. Survey results from more than 5,400 adults in late June 2020 found 13% of respondents reporting they had started or increased substance use to cope with the stress or emotions related to COVID-19.
Many experts believe, however, the increase in drug overdose deaths is mostly tied to those who were already struggling with substance use issues before the pandemic, as treatment disruptions and isolation after distancing measures were imposed to stem the spread of the virus may have increased the risk of relapse.
A spokesman for the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration says since early 2020, the agency has worked along with other federal agencies to expand coverage for substance use disorder services through telehealth to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on addiction treatment services.
The Department of Health and Human Services also issued guidelines in April relaxing restrictions on clinical practitioners who can prescribe the addiction treatment medication buprenorphine, the spokesman notes.
