Roth Fioretti filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Chicago icon, Chance the Rapper. The suit alleges that Chance the Rapper infringed Roth Fioretti's client's copyright in the song "Bridge Through Time." "Bridge Through Time" is the subject of a copyright registered in 1979, and was written by award winning jazz composer Abdul Wali Muhammad. The lawsuit garnered national headlines.
The Chicago Tribune and the Sun Times both published articles providing commentary on the suit. The article below published by The Chicago Tribune provides a audio comparison of the song with the registered copyright, "Bridge Through Time," and the Chance the Rapper song "Windows," of which includes the alleged infringement.

Narrated by: Derek Jacobi, John Moffatt, Christian Rodska
Can you imagine writing to Father Christmas and actually getting a reply? Every year, the children of J.R.R. Tolkien would write to Father Christmas, and the letters they received told wonderful stories of his adventures at the North Pole. These humorous tales are brought to life by Derek Jacobi as Father Christmas, John Moffatt as Polar Bear, and Christian Rodska as Ilbereth the Elf, complete with specially composed music.
A fun little read.

Jacob T. Marley
By: R. William Bennett
"Marley was dead to begin with...." These chillingly familiar words begin the classic Christmas tale of remorse and redemption in A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Now R. William Bennett rewinds the story and focuses the spotlight on Scrooge's miserly business partner, Jacob T. Marley, who was allowed to return as a ghost to warn Scrooge away from his ill-fated path. Why was Marley allowed to return? And why hadn't he been given the same chance as Ebenezer Scrooge? Or had he?

A Christmas Carol (Radio Spirits Version - Dramatized)
Narrated by: Orson Welles, Lionel Barrymore
Orson Welles' dramatic anthology series Mercury Theatre on the Air, infamous for its Halloween broadcast of War of the Worlds, found a sponsor and became Campbell Playhouse in December 1938. The program continued to feature the charismatic and fiery Welles as both a host and an actor. The great Lionel Barrymore portrayed Ebenezer Scrooge in Campbell Playhouse's annual performance of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
Lionel Barrymore Brings this Tale to Life
By The Kindler on 09-29-16
Narrated by: Stephen Scalon
Dickens gave his first formal expression to his Christmas thoughts in his series of small books, the first of which was the famous "Christmas Carol." There followed four others: "The Chimes," "The Cricket on the Hearth," "The Battle of Life," and "The Haunted Man." The five are known today as the "Christmas Books." Of them all the "Carol" is the best known and loved, and "The Cricket on the Hearth," although third in the series, is perhaps next in popularity, and is especially familiar to Americans through Joseph Jefferson's characterisation of Caleb Plummer.

Dracula [Audible Edition]
By: Bram Stoker
Narrated by: Alan Cumming, Tim Curry, Simon Vance, and others
4.5 out of 5 stars 15,900
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.
Well Read, Throughly Enjoyable!

Between his work on the 2014 Audible Audiobook of the Year, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark: A Novel, and his performance of Classic Love Poems, narrator Richard Armitage ( The Hobbit, Hannibal) has quickly become a listener favorite. Now, in this defining performance of Charles Dickens' classic David Copperfield, Armitage lends his unique voice and interpretation, truly inhabiting each character and bringing real energy to the life of one of Dickens' most famous characters.

Narrated by: Michael Scott
"Call of the Wild" is the story of Buck, a magnificent dog who is stolen from his idyllic life and sold for use on a Yukon dogsled team. His travels are not only of a physical nature, as he learns hard discipline from men who must discipline their dog teams, but his own journey back to his primordial roots in the frozen tundra - the roots of wolf. This amazing story of transformation is beautifully written and provides a glimpse of the hard life in the Yukon Territory during the 1900s.
Classic story from the perspective of the dog
By Thor-Rune on 03-31-19
Narrated by: Jim Dale
The holidays are upon us, and this year Audible is very happy to present to our members one of Charles Dickens' most popular Christmas stories, The Cricket on the Hearth. This holiday classic (original subtitle: "A Fairy Tale of Home") tells the innocent, picturesque, and charming story of a poor family and their would-be guardian angel; in short, a delightful vision of Victorian Christmas. As always, a great story calls for a great voice, so we've brought in legendary actor and record-breaking Audie and Grammy award-winning narrator Jim Dale ( The Night Circus). Happy holidays and happy listening!
Last Paragraph Missing?
By T. Brennan on 01-01-16
After escaping from the dark and dismal workhouse where he was born, Oliver finds himself on the mean streets of Victorian-era London and is unwittingly recruited into a scabrous gang of scheming urchins. In this band of petty thieves, Oliver encounters the extraordinary and vibrant characters who have captured audiences' imaginations for more than 150 years.
Amazing narration!
By Karen on 12-11-08
A Christmas Carol is a novella by English author Charles Dickens first published by Chapman and Hall and first released on 19 December 1843. The story tells of sour and stingy Ebenezer Scrooge's ideological, ethical, and emotional transformation after the supernatural visitations of Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Yet to Come. The novella met with instant success and critical acclaim. The book was written and published at a time when Britain was experiencing a nostalgic interest in its forgotten Christmas traditions, and at the time when new customs such as the Christmas tree and greeting cards were being introduced. Dickens' sources for the tale appear to be many and varied but are principally the humiliating experiences of his childhood, his sympathy for the poor, and the Christmas stories of Washington Irving. The tale was pirated immediately, was adapted several times to the stage, and has been credited with restoring the holiday to one of merriment and festivity in Britain and America after a period of sobriety and somberness. A Christmas Carol remains popular, has never been out of print, and has been adapted to film, opera, and other media.

A Tale of Two Cities [Tantor]
10 Essential Pieces of Literature
Man's Search for Meaning
Tad Davis
There are so many wonderful recordings of this wonderful book - how could you possibly pick one over another? Simon Vance is one of the most reliable narrators in the business, and he delivers the goods here as well. His voices form a miniature orchestra, taking us through the story with speed and clarity. I often pick up details in one of Vance's narrations that I missed in reading the book or listening to other readers. Here it was an emphasis on the smells of London that I hadn't noticed before; and my mouth watered at the descriptions of the food. I loved it.
The Best "A Christmas Carol" Out There
If you could sum up A Christmas Carol in three words, what would they be?
Tragedy, Warmth, Redemption
But of COURSE it's Scrooge! Who else has a lonely boyhood, chooses the security that he thinks only wealth can provide, passes up on love, and seeks a closeness to humanity, damn the costs, at the end?!? Dickens really came up with a character we can all revile, relate to, and hope to become by the journey's end.
What does Simon Vance bring to the story that you wouldn't experience if you just read the book?
Simon Vance is why, in my opinion, this is the best "A Christmas Carol" you'll find. He brings warmth, sensitivity, excellent characterization skills, and a sense of pacing and drama to his narration of this classic. Some male narrators have difficulty with female voices, but Little Fan and Belle are safe in his hands. This is a smooth and heartfelt performance all around, truly a delight to the ears!
Now, now Audible! Everyone knows the story! Don't make us feel like we're undergoing a pop quiz...!
"A Christmas Carol" has always been a part of my Christmas season, and I thought I'd found a good one with Tim Curry's "Signature Performance." Alas, his version was over the top, and he made Little Fan, who's so much a part of Scrooge's history and emotional development, laughable. Simon Vance is perfection here. This is a virtuoso performance of a well-loved classic. I'll listen to it every year. With pleasure!
Entertaining And Most Enjoyable!
I'm so glad I chose this version of "A Christmas Carol" to listen to over the holidays. Simon Vance does an impressive job of making each of the characters distinct and easy to recognize, without overly dramatizing the reading. Even though I've previously read the story, and we've all seen countless film versions, I found this unabridged reading to be quite satisfying and entertaining to listen to! I know it's one I'll listen to over and over again…at any time of year.
Jessica Zimmerman
Simon Vance does it again.
Hands down one of my favorite narrators! Brings life to every story he reads. This is one of my favorite Christmas stories and he lifts this story to an even higher level.
A beautiful heart rendering story by Charles Dickens. Simon Vance does a wonderful performance narrating this story. The combination bring characters to life!
Great narration
Like It's a Wonderful Life, Dickens' Christmas Carol is the quintessential Christmas story. It deserves to be read, watched or listened to annually. What a genius of a writer was Dickens to tell this story in such a way that it moves both young and old who hear it. Simon Vance's narration is distinct and passionately articulated. He is a very talented conveyor of all the emotions this tale presents. Absolutely LOVED IT!!!
B. Harris
Aurora, Ohio United States
The reader did a great job. Good emphasis. Professional voice. My imagination went wild as well as my intellect. I gift to my heart.
One of the best narrations of this classic
Simon Vance is lately becoming one of my favorite British narrators for audible books, and this proves it. He does all voices extremely well, even the women. May not keep it, but, an excellent take all the same.
Great narration of great literature.
I already gave this audio book to my sister as a gift. Why? It was Christmas! And she was, like me, an English major, and is, like me, a Simon Vance fan.
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Christmas Carol?
When Scrooge wakes up and realizes that only a night has passed, and it is Christmas Day, and he is re-born.
He is the best narrator that I have ever heard. He reads books better out loud than I can hear them in my mind when I read them.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
When the spirit throws back at Scrooge his words about 'decreasing the surplus population'. I frequently read comments on places like Huffpost and Yahoo by people who believe in the 'population explosion' and population control and who think we have too many children and that more should not be born and many of those living should die. They do not even know that heartless, ignorant people were saying the same things 150 years ago when the world's population was a small fraction of today's.
Any person who thinks they know the real story of Ebenezer Scrooge because they have seen one or more of the many cinematic versions should, nay MUST!, hear the real story of Scrooge as read in this audio book.
The perfect narrator brings out Dickens' best
Simon Vance is my favorite narrator ever, and he managed to bring out all of the drama and even horror of this Victorian classic without the old-fashioned melodrama that often makes a modern reader squirm.
It's "A Christmas Carol"! Of course it's brilliant
I listen to this in the run up to Christmas every year... Excellent story, brilliantly acted, what more do you need?
Perfectly read
Loved the way this was read by Simon Vance. I didn't want the reading to be too theatrical and over the top and this was perfect for my kids (14yrs, 12yrs and 10yrs) to listen to on a long car journey.
Sublime Christmas fare. Impeccably narrated.
Love listening to this every year at Christmas time. The story is timeless and the narration is top notch.

We edited and selected a few of those conversations for this episode of Inside Appalachia.
West Virginia Music Hall of Fame member Bob Thompson moved from New York City almost 60 years ago to attend what is now West Virginia State University. Listen to Bob and his friend Larry Groce, the host and artistic director of West Virginia Public Broadcasting's nationally distributed music show Mountain Stage, talk about moving from the Big Apple to Charleston, West Virginia and why he stayed.
You will also hear two stories about grief and loss. Coffee shop owner and barista Bridgette Kidd lost a good friend to a drug overdose. She said she wanted to record a conversation when StoryCorps came to West Virginia so she called her best friend Mark Hatfield. Kidd said later that they didn't plan any questions for their interview, but partway through their conversation, Mark asked Bridget about her experience with grief and finding a way forward after losing a loved one. In a separate recording, Danny McNeeley and Tim Albee talked about what it was like for each of them to lose their previous life partners.
The rivers of Appalachia have a way of bringing people together and establishing friendships. Elizabeth Dinkins and National Park Service river ranger Kathy Zerkle share their experiences working as river guides in West Virginia and talk about how the river has influenced them.
Mike Friel speaks with his friend and colleague Deacon Stone about his childhood to learn what it was like to be estranged from his father.
Karen Ireland and Roger May discussed the effects the West Virginia water crisis and the opioid addiction epidemic have had on their relationship. Ireland has long advocated for clean water. May is the director of Looking at Appalachia, a crowd-sourced photo archive of the region. Both are community activists.
We had help producing Inside Appalachia this week from Caitlin Tan, Brittany Patterson and Shayla Klein.

For many families in parts of eastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia, the absence of clean, reliable drinking water has become part of daily life.
This week on Inside Appalachia we'll hear from folks like Blaine Taylor, a 17-year-old resident of Martin County, Kentucky, who struggles to manage basic hygiene when his water comes out with sendiment in it.
The opioid crisis is one of the biggest public health challenges in our region today. One strategy that's been proved to help curb the epidemic's worst effects is to implement harm reduction programs. These generally offer a variety of services but the most controversial component is often the needle exchange. Just because something is proven effective, doesn't mean the public has bought into the idea.

Why engage Suzanne F Stevens?
Suzanne has a proven track record as a highly energizing, informative and memorable keynote speaker with more than seventeen years of experience addressing diverse audiences around the world.
Suzanne delivers the unexpected. We don't know what we don't know, and while not all audiences are asking for her message, it's a message everyone needs to hear. Audiences are engaged through provocative thinking and energized as a result.
She creates customized, relevant, provocative, dynamic and interactive presentation experiences for all audiences.
Suzanne customizes her message by empowering the person in the room (whether entrepreneurs, leaders, or front-line staff), showing how their actions can create a ripple effect. The concepts lead to greater organizational, community and societal collaboration and impact.
Suzanne has experience working with corporations, associations, non-profits, social enterprises within diverse industries from manufacturing to communications to finance to aerospace, and almost everything in between.
She undertakes due diligence with in-depth research and client interviews prior to every conference or in-house engagement.
She consistently engages audiences with her primary research, interactive nature, human observations and a slice of humour to get the audience to explore the what if?
As the 2017 National President of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS), part of the Global Speakers Federation, she is knowledgeable and respected throughout the speaking industry, if Suzanne is not the right fit, she will help you find someone who is.
What additional ways can Suzanne add value to our event?
Book a second presentation or session at the event with Suzanne for only $2,000 and save the time, cost, travel expenses, and logistics of hiring another speaker.
If your organization is serious about conscious contributions and developing people, purchasing a copy of Suzanne's book for each attendee will reinforce the message, infuse the attendee, and drive the culture. Clients that book Suzanne for a speaking engagement receive a discount on bulk book purchases. These books are also great gifts for your suppliers and clients as they promote the conscious-contributions™ and collaboration.
Invite Suzanne to contribute in your community. She has conducted keynotes, and training sessions for charities and not-profits in several countries. Most of these sessions focus on fundraising or how to present a compelling message to various audiences or donors. You can book Suzanne the day before or day after your session, for an additional $2,000, and she will work with your charity of choice, a volunteer organization, or a sponsor of your event from one to six hours.
Have Suzanne facilitate an icebreaker session to warm up your audience and get them connected with each other and the event in a fun energizing way.
If having a panel discussion, consider Suzanne to facilitate it. As a seasoned facilitator and interviewer, Suzanne will draw out quality information from your panellists to benefit your audience. She creates engaging dialogue that will keep the audience learning and wondering what's coming next.
All keynotes and sessions are customized to the audience, organization, conference, and event objectives.
Suzanne will provide you well in advance of your event, with an introduction, marketing material, equipment and set-up requirements.
Suzanne will support you in your event promotional activities by providing a short- customized intro video, shout-outs on social media, and a pre or post newsletter article.
Arrive early enough to do a sound check that is not disruptive to the event.
Arrive a minimum of an hour and a half prior to speaking.
If the event is a conference, Suzanne will often arrive the day before, or in plenty of time to meet the audience and listen to previous speakers to incorporate major themes. She will also attend a social gathering if appropriate.
Stay after her talk to answer any further questions.
Make contact information available for further discussion.
Give a high-energy presentation that is thought-provoking, interactive while respecting your cultural uniqueness.
Provide handouts in support of concepts shared.
Provide a summary of key points in the talk or provide additional tools to assist with the implementation of key points and/or an article for your newsletter highlighting key points of the talk.
How long does Suzanne speak for?
She will speak for as long as you want. Suzanne delivers keynote presentations and longer, interactive breakout sessions or training programs.
The keynote presentation can be adjusted to suit your scheduling needs, but typically lasts anywhere from 45 to 120 minutes. One hour or 90 minutes are the most common length requested by clients.
Capacity building programs can vary from a half-day to three-day experiences. For a half-day workshop, Suzanne likes to have 3 to 4 hours (the fee is the same regardless of the length) while a full-day workshop is anywhere from 5-8 hours. Three-days – is 24 hour engaging transformation experience.
An alternative is to take advantage of Suzanne's insight at your event and engage her in both a keynote presentation and a breakout session - either the same or a completely different topic. If extensive travel is required for your event, maximizing your time makes sense, and bonus - you may not have to hire a second speaker.
We're not sure which topic would be best for our group/objectives?
overall schedule, and your goals, Suzanne will suggest the perfect presentation for your group.
Suzanne does customize to your audience/group/objectives, so she may ask a few questions to assess the best fit for you. However, if she or her topics are not a fit, she is happy to direct you to a speaker(s) that may meet your mandate.
How do we know if you are the right fit for our audience?
Suzanne prides herself in giving you her best every time. Suzanne is happy to discuss what your objectives and expectations are for your event and of the speaker. Her primary goal is to make sure she is a fit for you. Her secondary goal is making sure you are a fit for her. Suzanne wants to ensure her style and message will achieve your objectives. Suzanne will have a discussion with you so together you can evaluate if one of her keynotes will fit with organization's theme and objective.
Can we take video of the presentation?
Thanks for asking. We appreciate you want to capture the content and share it, and we thank you for appreciating that it is content worth sharing. Due to the interactive nature of the talk, it will leave the video watcher feeling a little less than fulfilled, and we don't want to sabotage the viewer's experience. Also, the content is the intellectual property of YouMeWe Group and we want to preserve that. What we recommend is our video series called weWednesdays, which highlights many of the concepts we share in our training programs and keynotes. You can suggest individuals register here.
Suzanne does bring a personal photographer and videographer with her (aka – her husband and business partner). We also conduct back-of-room-sales of YouMeWe baskets and books (when available and if permitted). If this is a challenge, Suzanne is flexible.
Does Suzanne sell books or other products from the stage?
Good question, and we get it. You don't want a hard sell, and frankly, we don't like them either. Suzanne is in the process of publishing a book, and eventually will offer it at the back of the room as a support for the concepts she covers in her talk. We promise, there will be no 10-minute sales pitch in Suzanne's talk. What works best is the person or emcee doing the introduction mentions that there are books available at the back of the room. Often audience members like to know more, and often are disappointed if information/resources/books are not easily accessible.
You also may want to provide one for each attendee, we are happy to discuss a bulk purchase rate.
However, if you don't want the book available, then we won't bring it.
Suzanne has collaborated with a social enterprise in Swaziland, Africa that employs over 1,000 women. Eight-thousand people depend on this social enterprise for survival.
Suzanne often weaves in the baskets produced by this social enterprise as an example of major concepts shared. We would like to have available these hand-made baskets back of the room for purchase. The baskets are a natural complement to the overall spirit of the talk.
Organizations are are welcome to provide one for each audience member. Special pricing is available on bulk purchases. Bulk orders need to be decided early in the engagement processes, to ensure availability.
Does Suzanne travel to speak? How does she book her travel?
Suzanne loves to travel to work with her clients. She has spent much of her time travelling all over the world researching, writing, and speaking about conscious-contributions.
Typically, the client books and pays for the hotel accommodation upfront. Depending on the distance traveled, there may be anywhere from 1 to 3 nights accommodation required.
We book our own airfare and always strive to find a reasonable rate. Within Canada, Suzanne books an Air Canada Flex rate and never requests a business class seat. For overseas travel, although Suzanne doesn't require a business class seat – she appreciates it, and so will you, so she arrives rested. She will work out an arrangement to optimize being ready and raring to go for your event.
Cap the travel expenses so you know there won't be any surprises.
Will Suzanne be flexible with your fee?
The YouMeWe Foundation focuses on investing, inspiring, and developing women leaders in emerging countries. In 2011 and 2012 Suzanne spent much of her time in Africa raising funds, providing leadership development and scholarships. All pro-bono work is quite limited, as funding and fundraising for these initiatives is a priority.
As a professional speaker, Suzanne has always maintained her fee and only will consider deviation from that fee if there is a diverse audience with marketing and impact opportunities, which are in line with the YouMeWe mandate. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your event.
We can't afford Suzanne's fees, any suggestions?
Team up with another department, business (or two or three), or an association to share the costs of bringing Suzanne into your community.
Look for sponsorship or cost-sharing opportunities with your partners, suppliers, and/or vendors.
Especially when Suzanne is traveling far, arrange to have her deliver another presentation to your charity or non-profit organization of choice as an added-value option.
Depending on the nature of the event, Suzanne may consider a donation to the YouMeWe Foundation, which will provide a tax receipt – in exchange for her speaking.
IgniteMe – online learning academy, economical training solutions are also an option.

Kiwi sprint aces claim second straight title
Hong Kong - Australia fell short of a new world record but took gold with ease as they smashed New Zealand to claim their second straight team pursuit title at the Track Cycling World Championships on Thursday.
The defending champions and Olympic silver-medallists romped to victory by nearly 2.5 seconds over the 2015 winners with a time of 3min 51.503sec at the Hong Kong Velodrome.
Australia had raised expectations with their qualifying time on Wednesday of 3:50.577, a shade off the world record of 3:50.265 set by Britain at last year's Olympics.
Sam Welsford and Alexander Porter celebrated back-to-back gold medals, while veteran Cameron Meyer won his seventh world title and Nicholas Yallouris claimed his first.
Italy took the bronze medal when in the final kilometre, they overhauled a new-look British team to win by a healthy 1.631sec.
Poland's Adrian Teklinski, 27, won his first world title with a powerful break in the final stages of the 15km men's scratch race, finishing comfortably ahead of Germany's Lucas Liss and Christopher Latham of Britain.
"Really happy with that, I finally come away with a medal," said Latham, after reaching the world championships podium for the first time.
"I wasn't sure he (Teklinski) was going to do it, he did all right didn't he?"
Hong Kong's Sarah Lee, a 2012 Olympic bronze medallist, lifted home hopes and the noise level in the velodrome when she beat Australia's Kaarle McCulloch by seven-hundredths to reach the women's sprint semi-finals.

Q: How to change undefine value to null from Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.get() when using loop
I need help to change the undefine values from Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.get() to null values. Because I want to use the values to make a IF condition.

The case: I want to copy and paste the data on Column 1 - 57 from other spreadsheet using Google API with some condition if the data on column 55 is not null and column 56 is null. At the end, I want to sort the value by column 57 (date). There are 60 Columns and 13k+ rows.

This is my code: (Still having a error because of the undefine value)
function myFunction() {
 const sourceid = 'Spreadsheet ID'
 const targetid = 'Spreadsheet ID';
 const source_range = "Source File!A2:BE";
 const destination_range = "Target File!A2:BE"
 const data = Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.get(srcSpreadsheetId, source_range).values;
 const arr = [];
 for (let i in data) {
  if (data[i][55] !== '' && data[i][56] == '') {
   arr.push(data[i]);
  }
 }

 var values = {
  'valueInputOption': 'USER_ENTERED',
  'data': [
    {
      'range': 'Target File!A2:BE',
      'majorDimension': 'ROWS',
      'values': arr
    }
  ]
 };

 Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.update({ values: values }, targetid, destination_range, { valueInputOption: "USER_ENTERED" });
 //sorting method (have not been made);

}

A: In your script, how about the following modification?
From:
const arr = [];
for (let i in data) {
 if (data[i][55] !== '' && data[i][56] == '') {
  arr.push(data[i]);
 }
}

var values = {
 'valueInputOption': 'USER_ENTERED',
 'data': [
   {
     'range': 'Target File!A2:BE',
     'majorDimension': 'ROWS',
     'values': arr
   }
 ]
};

Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.update({ values: values }, targetid, destination_range, { valueInputOption: "USER_ENTERED" });

To:
const arr = [];
for (let i in data) {
  if (data[i][55] !== '' && !data[i][56]) {
    arr.push(data[i]);
  }
}
Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.update({ values: arr }, targetid, destination_range, { valueInputOption: "USER_ENTERED" });

*

*In this modification, !data[i][56] is used. And, the request of spreadsheets.values.update is also modified.

*When this modification is reflected in your script, when column "BD" is not empty and the column "BE" is empty, the row is put to from row 2 of the target sheet.
Note:

*

*I thought that in your situation, the following script might be able to be used instead of the for loop.
  const arr = data.filter(r => r[55] && !r[56]);

References:

*

*Method: spreadsheets.values.update

*filter()
Added:
About Do you know how to sort descending or ascending on my condition?, in this case, how about adding the following sample script after the line of Sheets.Spreadsheets.Values.update({ values: arr }, targetid, destination_range, { valueInputOption: "USER_ENTERED" });?
const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(sourceid).getSheetByName("Source File");
Sheets.Spreadsheets.batchUpdate({ requests: [{ sortRange: { range: { sheetId: sheet.getSheetId(), startRowIndex: 1 }, sortSpecs: [{ sortOrder: "ASCENDING", dimensionIndex: 57 }] } }] }, sourceid);

*

*By this script, the source sheet is sorted with ASCENDING by the column "BF".

*If you want to use this for the target sheet, from your script, I'm worried that the target sheet has no column "BF". If you want to use this on the target sheet, please modify it as follows. But, if the target sheet has no column "BF", an error occurs. Please be careful about this.
  const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(targetid).getSheetByName("Target File");
  Sheets.Spreadsheets.batchUpdate({ requests: [{ sortRange: { range: { sheetId: sheet.getSheetId(), startRowIndex: 1 }, sortSpecs: [{ sortOrder: "ASCENDING", dimensionIndex: 57 }] } }] }, targetid);

Carpet beetles could cause significant damages to furniture, carpets, clothing and even food stored at your New York home. The carpet beetle will generally not feed on synthetic fibers, yet will feed on blends of wool and synthetics. Eggs, larvae, pupae and adults might be brought into the residence and infect such locations as the lint gathered behind baseboards, in air ducts, in the padding of furniture and in the bristles of old paint brushes. From these unsuspected locations, carpet beetles could induce harm for a long period of time to your New York home.
One of the most common varieties of carpet beetles in New York is the black carpet beetle. Larvae and adults are clearly different from various other carpet beetles. Grownup black carpet beetles vary from 1/8 to 3/16 inch in length.
The 2nd sort of carpet beetle typically found in New York is the varied carpet beetle. The coloring is typically black with an irregular pattern of white, dark and brown yellow scales on its wing covers. Mature larvae are about the very same size as adults, have alternating light and dark brownish transverse red stripes and are distinguishable from various other carpet beetle larvae due to the fact that they are broader at one end.
Wool, including woollen carpets and carpets; silks; leather, including natural leather publication bindings.
Fur; animal skins; stuffed pets; animal horns; whalebone.
Spices, grains and flour; peas and beans; powdered milk.
Occasionally felts and hammers in pianos can be badly damaged that the tone and action of the piano are seriously afflicted. Once the carpet beetle is removed, man-made, synthetic felts may be a good choice for replacement.
If you believe that your New York home might have carpet beetles or at risk to have them, we can send one of our licensed professionals to check your property. If you have any samples of carpet beetles found in your home, collect and save one of the beetles for verification from one of our specialist.
The New York Pest Service Network has established a thorough carpet beetle treatment program that incorporates a complete understanding of the biology of the carpet beetle, using only premium EPA approved chemicals and modern technology to attack the carpet beetle issue at your property. Furthermore, we constantly review the effectiveness of our treatment solutions and study advancements in the industry to make our solution the best, most up-to-date carpet beetle control readily available.
Carpet beetles are among the most challenging interior insect to manage as a result of their capacity to locate meals in the nooks and crannies of your New York home. A thorough cleansing is the very best approach, although in a wide spread problem pesticides could be needed.
Normal and extensive washing of rugs, cleaning of draperies, upholstered furniture, closets and various other areas where carpeting beetles may lay eggs is crucial. And remember, after vacuuming infested areas to remove and dispose of the bag quickly considering that it could contain eggs, larvae, or even adult carpet beetles.
Protect fabrics, like bed linens and clothing by keeping them clean: food spots and odor stains on clothing are a big attraction to carpet beetles. Dry cleaning or washing items in hot water kills carpet beetles and is the most common method used to manage all kinds of fabric pests in clothes, fabrics and other washable items used in your home.

Seabrook Residents Help Superstorm Sandy Victims by Offering Bags of Comfort to Help Them in Time of Need
TINTON FALLS, NJ - Following the havoc of Superstorm Sandy countless numbers of people and organizations are banding together to do their part to help those in need.
While food, water, clothing and cleaning supplies are some of the top items that are needed to assist people, there is one more product that those affected by the storm are in need of, toiletries.
A group of seniors from the Seabrook retirement community are answering the call to ensure that some of the victims of Sandy will receive these items. They organized a grassroots collection drive at the campus where for 10 days residents were encouraged to donate toothbrushes, toothpaste, bars of soap, small bottles of shampoo, deodorant and other items.
Seabrook residents also answered the call. There will be:
Over 300 toothbrushes
500 tubes of toothpaste
500 small bars of soap
Small bottles of shampoo, deodorant and Kleenex packages.
Delivered to the organization Bridges at the Shore, a program that provides direct help to needy people living in Monmouth County. Once a month a group of volunteers take a caravan of cars to local towns in Monmouth County to distribute clothing, blankets, bag suppers, toiletries and conversation to those in need.
The offshoot of Bridges at the Shore is Seabrook for Bridges, which consists of approximately 12 Seabrook residents who are involved in a variety of benevolent activities that aid its namesake organization by tapping into the retirement community's resources.
What is even more heart-warming about the Superstorm Sandy Bags of Comfort project is that these residents aren't just handing over items dumped into black garbage bags. They took the time to package the items up into the Zip Lock bags with a little tender-loving-care.
"As neighbors helping neighbors, Seabrook residents reached out to provide personal necessities for Sandy's area victims. Nine volunteers felt as though they were doing their part to assemble the more than 170 bags of toiletries for distribution by Bridges at the Shore," said Beverly Hausker and Bobbie Ostar, Seabrook for Bridges co-chairs.
Seabrook Executive Director Art Sparks said, "This project is a great example of the wonderful volunteer spirit at Seabrook. The area that we live in has a strong heart for the needy, including those who require emergency assistance, and I think that our residents are passionate about helping wherever and whenever they can. This latest endeavor helps a very worthwhile organization fulfill a need that assists those in the county who are struggling."
In the past, Seabrook for Bridges has made approximately 250 sandwiches and assembled them in lunch bags for the needy, which were distributed by Bridges at the Shore.
Seabrook for Bridges is only one of many volunteer efforts that Seabrook residents take part in. Last year, resident volunteers worked thousands of hours spending time doing a tremendous amount of work for a variety of groups, including the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean counties, the Tinton Falls Library, Monmouth Medical Center, Jersey Shore Medical Center, Meals on Wheels, Monmouth Museum, Mahala F. Atchison School in Tinton Falls, ARC of Monmouth, Interfaith Neighbors, The Bradley Food Pantry, Visiting Nurse Association, Red Cross, United Way and the New Jersey Special Olympics.
More than 1,400 people live at Seabrook, an Erickson Living full-service retirement community that promotes a vibrant lifestyle. Erickson Living develops and manages 16 full-service retirement communities that provide worry-free living for America's seniors - the country's fastest-growing population segment. Erickson Living's refundable entrance deposit and predictable monthly service fees provide residents across the country financial peace of mind. Comprehensive health and wellness services, integrated into every community, lead to demonstrated resident benefits. For more information, visit www.ericksonliving.com.

The Women, Peace and Security Index is one of the most comprehensive measures of women's well-being around the world. While no country is perfectly equal, there are clear global trends in which regions and countries fare best and worst.
The WPS Index is a collaboration between PRIO and the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS) that goes back to 2016. Funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Index ranks countries based on indicators of women's inclusion, security, and access to justice. The updated 2019 report includes 167 countries.
The 2019 launch during Oslo Peace Days marks the first time it is possible to track trends related to women's safety, inclusion and access to justice around the world. At this event, experts will present the most recent findings showing conflict trends, downward turns, and success stories. The focus will be on the Middle East and Africa, where there have been both major losses and gains.
Welcome by Torunn L. Tryggestad, Deputy Director of PRIO

Mainstream Movie Porn Sucks: How Real Sex in Real Movies Is a Real Distraction
by Nick Schager
Porn re-inserts itself into the arthouse with this week's The Canyons, co-starring adult industry stud James Deen, and next week's Lovelace, a biopic of the Deep Throat star–two highly publicized releases that reconfirm the hopelessness of going hardcore in mainstream movies. Whether it's works that inject un-simulated sex into their fictionalized tales, those that cast actual porn stars in a misbegotten bid for extreme-sex credibility (The Canyons), or those that are specifically about adult entertainment (Lovelace), porn pretenses are the surest means of making a feature film un-sexy, if not downright desperate and more than a little laughable.
This isn't a slam on porn itself, or a call for the type of schoolmarmish pseudo-censorship being shoved down the throats of the English–who, thanks to Prime Minister David Cameron, will soon have to notify their ISPs if they want to see things being shoved down others' throats. No matter one's opinion of X-rated movies–be they narrative-driven, hardcore, gonzo–actual pornography generally delivers exactly what it advertises: namely, graphic sexual acts filmed for the self-gratification of its audience. It is, fundamentally, a functional art form, providing sights and sounds intended to help viewers–typically men–get off.
One may find that simplistic, morally objectionable, juvenile, or idiotic. But it's rarely insincere. And even when it exhibits loftier artistic ambitions–like Vivid Video's 2005 big-budget epic Pirates–porn knows that, in the end, what matters most is up-close-and-personal depictions of people getting to it. Nobody expects porn to move or inspire beyond that, just as nobody expects a dildo to help comb one's hair; its purpose is singular in nature.
Mainstream movies, on the other hand, operate in a different pop-cultural space. Even for projects that actively aim for passionate, tawdry, or daring eroticism–including those that engage in the gratuitous nudity found in R- and unrated affairs, or HBO's Game of Thrones–dramatic demands take precedence over any claims to vérité realism. Being sexy is always far more crucial than showing sex that's "real."
Of course, that hasn't stopped many films from attempting to integrate porny elements into their proceedings. Melvin Van Peebles famously caught an STD while screwing onscreen for 1971's Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song. Divine performed fellatio in John Waters's 1972 cult classic Pink Flamingos (on the guy playing her son in the movie, no less). Bob Guccione shot loads of explicit footage for Caligula, most of which eventually made it into the director's cut. William Friedkin did likewise for Cruising (though most of it never saw the light of day, and has now been lost). And they're not the only ones–highly respected directors like Catherine Breillat (Romance and Anatomy of Hell), Michael Winterbottom (9 Songs), and Leos Carax (Pola X), as well as turn-of-the-century art house provocations like Baise-moi, Ken Park, and The Brown Bunny, have all attracted notoriety by compelling leads to actually get it on for the cameras.
In virtually every instance, that stunt proves to be, at best, a distracting gimmick. Onscreen sensuality is the byproduct of many things–chemistry between performers, expert direction, a story that properly contextualizes and builds to its carnal climaxes–and explicitness isn't one of them. To call attention to the "reality" of a film's coupling is to divert attention away from, and take viewers out of, the fiction at hand. Nicolas Roeg's Venetian thriller Don't Look Now is a classic for many reasons, but ultimately none of them have to do with the did-they-or-didn't-they questions about Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie's infamous sex scene. That controversy is irrelevant (the scene is intense, regardless of logistics), and has done little more than sidetrack conversations away from the masterful dread and terror Roeg stirred up–qualities absent from Roeg's later efforts, like that hand-in-pants cable movie Full Body Massage.
Just like horror, onscreen sex is almost always more evocative when suggested rather than bluntly shown. There's far more sexual pop in the chaste It Happened One Night, the boundary-pushing Last Tango in Paris, and 9 ½ Weeks than in any of the purported real-sex art films, even in those cases when such graphicness makes sense within the context of a given project (say, John Cameron Mitchell's Shortbus). Authenticity be damned, all Rocco Siffredi's Anatomy of Hell bumping and grinding can't compete with Sharon Stone uncrossing her legs in Basic Instinct, just as Chloë Sevigny's The Brown Bunny fellatio isn't in the same league as any single moment of Rebecca Romijn in Brian De Palma's Femme Fatale.
That goes double for films about porn, which–like those that cast working porn stars in non-porn roles–strive to generate sexual excitement from their proximity to the adult-entertainment world. While Kevin Smith's Zack and Miri Make a Porno recognizes the silliness of its conceit, efforts like the John Holmes crime saga Wonderland and the Charlie Sheen/Emilio Estevez industry drama Rated X immerse themselves in sleaze but remain woefully short on legitimate erotic electricity. Caught between being serious and being shocking, they wind up delivering only faux titillation. In this respect, they're most akin to softcore cable endeavors, especially '90s Skinemax classics (starring the likes of Shannon Tweed) that were obsessed with stylish noir posturing. Their straight-faced storytelling is undermined by their brazen sensationalism, which in turn is made goofy by the surrounding material's façade of gravity.
There's one glaring exception–Paul Thomas Anderson's Boogie Nights, whose thematic scope and earnest interest in character sets it apart from its porn-themed brethren. Furthermore, there are a few porn stars who have successfully transitioned to mainstream projects, such as Traci Lords and The Girlfriend Experience's Sasha Grey, but those rare actresses eschewed nudity-heavy roles that would pigeonhole them as lascivious one-trick ponies. As re-established by both The Canyons and Lovelace, brushing up against porn personalities and scenarios is mainly just a flaccid means of trying to energize stories that otherwise can't fully sustain audience interest.
If this sounds like a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't argument, that's because it is–dramatic films with real sex are marred by look-at-me gimmicks, and those that feign porn outrageousness (through their casting, or their stories' subject matter and milieus) come across as neutered poseurs. The long, hard truth: Porn is best left in porn.

Widely regarded as country music's most famous bad boy, Merle Haggard came from a poverty-stricken childhood, served time in a maximum-security prison, but ultimately emerged as a respected singer and performer. Following multiple jail sentences and a three-year stint at San Quentin State Prison in California, Haggard turned his life around with the help of music as well as sound advice from his lifelong friend, music icon Johnny Cash. Haggard scored multiple No. 1 hits on Billboard's country music charts for several decades, including his signature tracks "I'm a Lonesome Fugitive" (1967), "Okie From Muskogee" (1969), and "If We Make it Through December" (1973). Through his music, Haggard opened up about his troubled past, provided a voice for America's working class, and inspired artists from all genres to tell stories with songs. In 1994, Haggard was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, a testament to his compelling personal journey from outlaw to music legend. Touring and recording well into his 70s, Haggard became one of the key bridges between country's outlaw past and the bad boys of the contemporary scene. Merle Haggard died of complications from pneumonia on his 79th birthday, April 6, 2016.
Merle Ronald Haggard was born on April 6, 1937 in Oildale, CA to James Frances Haggard, a railroad carpenter, and his wife, Flossie Mae Harp. The Haggard family moved from Oklahoma to California in search of a better life, converted an old boxcar into their home, but still struggled to put food on the table. The future country music star was nine when his father died of a stroke, leaving his mother to work as a bookkeeper to support her family. Being so close to his father, the death hit Haggard hard and turned him into a rebel at a very young age. He often skipped school and once hopped aboard a freight train to Fresno before the police picked him up. At 15, Haggard and a friend were arrested for suspicion of robbery and spent two-and-a-half weeks in jail. Yet his father, who had played fiddle and guitar, also left Haggard with the gift of music. He began playing the guitar and looked up to his idol, country singer and songwriter Lefty Frizzell.
Haggard earned a little bit of money playing in bars, but it was not enough to keep him out of trouble. He was arrested in 1957 for a robbery attempt at a Bakersfield tavern and was sent to San Quentin state prison. He was kept under serious watch due to his history of attempting to escape from various prison and juvenile halls. On New Year's Day 1959, Haggard found his true calling after watching Johnny Cash's live performance inside San Quentin. Even though he was not a Cash fan at first, Haggard was awed by the singer's conviction and stage presence. He spent the rest of his time at San Quentin earning a high school equivalence diploma, worked in the textile plant, and played in the prison band. Haggard was released from San Quentin in 1960, having served three years of his sentence.
After his release from prison, Haggard hit the ground running with his music career. He took part in Bakersfield's country music scene, performing in local clubs before joining Wynn Stewart's band as a bassist in 1962. He and Cash eventually met in 1963 after both appeared on a TV show in Chicago, where Haggard recalled the singer offered him a Dexedrine pill and wine after the former mentioned he had been up for days. Haggard recorded his first single, the Stewart-composed "Sing a Sad Song" the following year. He landed in the Billboard Country Top 10 with the song "(My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers" (1965), followed by his first No. 1 hit "I'm a Lonesome Fugitive." Capitol Records signed Haggard and released his debut album, Same Train, Different Time: A Tribute to Jimmie Rodgers (1968).
By decade's end, Haggard released one of his signature songs "Okie From Muskogee," a humorous, socio-political commentary that was widely regarded as the unofficial anthem of the Silent Majority - a group of Americans who abstained from voicing their opinions during the Vietnam War. During a guest appearance on "The Johnny Cash Show" (ABC, 1969-1971), Haggard finally revealed to Cash that he had watched him perform as an inmate at San Quentin. The singer later said that moment made them even closer, almost like brothers. Following Cash's advice, Haggard opened up about his troubled past through his music, releasing songs from Sing Me Back Home (1967) about a fellow inmate and friend named Rabbit who was executed after attempting to escape San Quentin, to "Mama Tried" (1968), where the singer apologized to his mother for all the pain he caused her as a young man.
The 1970s saw a rise in Haggard's popularity, not only in country music but also with the mainstream audience. He released the album A Tribute to the Best Dam Fiddle Player in the World (or, My Salute to Bob Wills) in honor of one of his musical idols, the father of Western swing, Bob Wills. Haggard reached No. 58 on the Billboard Hot 100 with the track "Carolyn" (1971), also a chart-topper in the country genre, shortly before then-California Governor Ronald Reagan granted him a full pardon for his past crimes in March 1972. Haggard continued to dominate charts with songs such as "Grandma Harp" (1972) and the theme song of the NBC series "Movin' On" (1974-76). The singer championed working class America with another hit "If We Make It Through December," from his holiday-themed album A Christmas Present (1973). Married five times, Haggard was also a notable ladies' man who wrote the country hit "Always Wanting You" (1975), inspired by his crush on Dolly Parton. He made several acting attempts throughout his career, including a supporting role as a balladeer in the action-adventure film "The Legend of the Lone Ranger" (1981).
Haggard earned his first Grammy Award in 1981 for Best Country Vocal Performance, Male for the 1983 single "That's the Way Love Goes." He scored his last No. 1 hit in 1987 with the song "Twinkle, Twinkle Lucky Star." It took several years for the recording industry to honor Haggard for his work, honoring him with a Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999 and an induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in 1994. He was a 2010 recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors, which recognized artists who have contributed to the American culture. That same year, Haggard released I Am What I Am, which peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart. Haggard's final album, Working In Tennessee, was released in October 2011. After a lengthy period of ill health, Merle Haggard died of complications from pneumonia on April 6, 2016, his 79th birthday.

Business investment has tumbled and hiring weakened following a steep minimum wage hike and cap on working hours. Growth in the $1.5 trln export-dependent economy also is sputtering just as the U.S.-China trade war intensifies. Seoul would be wise to make some small adjustments.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in meets with Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen (not pictured) on the sidelines of the P4G Summit, at the Danish Prime Minister's Office in Copenhagen, Denmark October 20, 2018.
South Korea's economy grew 2 percent in the third quarter from a year earlier, the Bank of Korea said on Oct. 25. That compares to a median forecast of 2.2 percent, according to a Reuters poll.
So-called gross fixed capital formation, which measures new investments in physical assets, fell 4.5 percent from the same period in 2017. Of that amount, construction investment shrank 6.4 percent in the quarter, marking the biggest decline since the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis, as government measures to curb rising housing prices discouraged home-building.
Since the start of 2018, the government has introduced a series of pro-labour policies, including a 16.4 percent rise in minimum wages and a lower cap on the maximum weekly work hours from 68 to 52 for certain companies.


Friends, family, everyone named Susan, we've finally made it to Thursday. It's been a challenging few days, filled with change, tears and ice cream but we have made it. And, we are now looking to the future with positivity and happiness – that's until life comes to throw another "character building" obstacle our way (about three hours till this happiness).
To keep your spirits high till then, I've compiled a list of some of the happiest songs known to man (the tunes that come to mind during the writing phase of this feature).
Please enjoy and know that we now have a strong bond. One that will blossom with age and a shared appreciation for sarcasm and puns.
I dare you not to sing along. I DARE YOU!
Yeeeeeeee Katrina! Sing it, girlllllllll!
"I couldn't leave her if I tried" – probs cause she'd stalk you and all your future loves….
