Formosa House
An existing Inter-War Federation dwelling is wholly improved by a ground floor re-design and first floor rear addition, while retaining the majority of the original fabric in response to the pattern of established conditions in the public domain.
The first floor addition is a direct and appropriate response to the building height plane, rear and side setback controls, and an extrapolated existing front roof angle. It draws upon existing alignments and a play on symmetry to present as an extruded gable-end form that interprets the formal quality of the original dwelling. It is considerably setback from the street to not dominate views from the public domain, while also of a scale that is sympathetic to the original masonry structure. It accommodates two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a stair hall and a study.
The ground floor retains an existing front bedroom and entry hall, and inserts a new bathroom and laundry within the shell of an existing second bedroom. New kitchen, dining and living spaces are arranged partly within the existing fabric and partly within a newly defined lightweight envelope to the extent of the existing rear setback - thereby retaining the rear open courtyard area on the site, while vastly improving the internal amenity of the dwelling and its connections to the exterior.
The design incorporates timber flooring, timber cladding, timber framed pivot windows and sliding glass doors, mirroring some of the materials of the existing dwelling to contextualise the building form, while allowing it to be interpreted as recent work to the original dwelling.

Matt Dresden worked with four Farmington Public Safety officers and one of his classmates to put his Eagle Scout project together.

Farmington High student brings Stop the Bleed kits, training to school
By: Jonathan Shead | Farmington Press | Published December 4, 2019
The Farmington High School senior holds up a Stop the Bleed kit he created for his school.
FARMINGTON — Farmington High School student and Boy Scout Troop 45 member Matt Dresden knew when he started working on his Eagle Scout project more than a year ago that he wanted to help improve the community's safety.
He began with the idea of building first aid kits for Farmington Public Safety officers to keep in their cars, but in talking with former Farmington Hills Council member Richard Lerner about the Stop the Bleed program, Dresden found his topic.
Over the next year and a half, Dresden educated himself about Stop the Bleed, doing research; talking with Farmington Public Safety officers and other professionals involved; taking a training course with a few classmates, who later helped him with his Eagle Scout project; and troubleshooting the assembling of kits.
The national Stop the Bleed program was launched in October 2015 by the White House in an attempt to encourage bystanders to become trained, equipped and empowered to help during a bleeding emergency before professional medical services arrive.
Dresden raised money throughout the community, pooling together approximately $1,500 from local business, family and friend donations, as well as donating a couple of hundred dollars from his own wallet.
After more than 100 hours of work on his project, Dresden, alongside a team of four Farmington Public Safety officers and peers, finally saw his work come to fruition when he trained 75 staff members and donated 85 kits to Farmington High School. Each classroom and a few common areas at his school now have a Stop the Bleed kit in case of emergency.
According to the national Stop the Bleed campaign website, a traditional Stop the Bleed kit includes a tourniquet, a QuikClot bleeding control dressing, protective gloves, compression bandages, a permanent black marker and an instruction card.
Dresden said he's proud to see his project completed.
"It's kind of funny; I hope this project never gets used. I hope I wasted $1,500 and over 100 hours of work," he said. "I wouldn't have been able to do this myself. … (My team) was a very big help. They're very appreciated."
Dresden said his principal was paramount to his project's success. Quick communication and guidance on how to work with staff really helped move his project forward, Dresden said.
"Not only is (his project) a great thing for our school now, but it's a great thing for our school that will survive for years to come. I'm very proud of Matt's accomplishments," said Farmington High School Principal Tom Shelton. "The Stop the Bleed kits are obviously things we hope we never have to use, but they give us the sense of security and comfort knowing they're there."
Beyond learning about the Stop the Bleed program and how to execute the training himself, Dresden gained leadership qualities and a better sense of direction for his future.
"Learning about the project really sparked my interest into medication. I was kind of into (emergency medical technicians). At the time, I was taking an Explorers class with Community EMS in Southfield," he said. "I was kind of looking into it, but now that I've furthered my knowledge of it, that's something I'd be looking into in the future, of becoming an EMT."
Dresden and Shelton both hope the project can have an impact beyond Dresden's years with the district, and they hope it may spark other students' interests in Stop the Bleed, as well.
"In the long-term future, Eagle Scouts can take on the project of refreshing the kits: adding supplies to them or replacing outdated supplies. In that sense, it can be an ongoing sense of comfort for our community," Shelton said.
Shelton said he plans to make sure new staff are adequately trained and educated on the program once they're hired and that current staff take refresher courses periodically.
Jon Manier, the executive director of student services for Farmington Public Schools, said the district has had some conversations with the Farmington Hills Fire Department about bringing the program to the district's other schools.
"We don't have a firm plan at this point, but we do see the value in it and want to invest in it," Manier said.

Scientists have found out when there was an ancestor of all living beings on Earth - RIA Novosti, 8/20/2018
Date: 11 months ago 2018-08-28 18:09 Category: Studies
MOSCOW, 20 Aug – RIA Novosti. So-called "Onions", the general ancestor of all organisms existing today, has appeared on Earth about 4,5 billion years ago, even before so-called "late heavy bombing". The scientists who have published article in the Nature Ecology and Evolution.© magazine RIA Novosti / Alexey Filippov write about it to Pass into an image bank Scientists have found out how the first life on Earth "looked Having united archaeological and genetic data, we have shown that "Onions" of veins at the beginning of Earth history. We assume that he has appeared almost right after Teya, the progenitress of the Moon, has faced our planet. Bacteria and the Archean were divided much later, approximately through one billion years" — Davide Pisani from University of Bristol (Great Britain) tells. The first live organisms have appeared on Earth during an archaean era, and there is no standard point of view yet about how and when life has arisen. Today there are several fossil certificates that microbes already existed in primary ocean of Earth about 3,4 billion years ago, however many scientists consider that life could arise much before this mark. The lack of fossilized remains of bacteria in more ancient breeds forces geologists and biologists to guess about when it could occur. The first try to find traces of the rocks generated by microbes, and the second – "to revive" a genome so-called "Onions". Evolutionists and molecular biologists understand the general ancestor of all modern representatives of life on Earth as this word (Last Universal Common Ancestor, LUCA) whose traces have remained in DNA of all nowadays existing organisms. The first attempts to make his "portrait" have shown that "Onions" of veins not in primary ocean, and at hot springs on the land, and I was ekstremofily. © Photo: Gerald Prins Life could arise in the drying-up pools, declare uchenyeraskryty "Onions" of other features including his age, has demanded considerably great efforts from geneticists as yet they have no opportunity definitely to estimate how mutations in DNA of the first live organisms on Earth quickly collected. Pisani and his colleagues have solved this problem, having united data of archeological excavations, including information on time of emergence of the first "real" ancient microbes, with that information on a genome "Onions" which are now held by evolutionists. For example, the age of the most ancient fossil seaweed leaves 1,56 billion years, and эукариот, cages with the isolated kernel – about 1,61 billion years. These calculations have shown that "Onions" has appeared unexpectedly early in the history of Earth – it couldn't arise later, than 3,9 billion years ago. Most likely, he has arisen right after collision of a germ of our planet and Teyi, "great-grandmother" of the Moon that happened 4,52-4,47 billion years ago. It means that our planet was manned actually all the time her existence.© a science Festival Darwin Pond: professor of MSU has explained why life has arisen on sushepodobny оц

The track should be between 350 - 400 paces in length, laid by the handler, with two right angle corners and at least 20 minutes old. The dog is placed out of sight when the handler lays the trial. The judge will advise the handier about the pattern of the trial. The handier will mark the start with a stake or marker. The handier will remain on the right side of the stake for approximately one minute without trampling or marking the starting point. Two articles of approximately 15 centimeters (cm) in length, approximately 5-6 cm in width and approximately 2-3 cm in thickness are to be handed to the handler approximately 15 minutes prior to the laying of the track. Both articles are to be placed on the track by the handler, the first article in the middle of the second leg and the second article at the end of the track.
Before the start, the handler will report to the judge with the dog on leash or equipped for tracking. The dog should sit at heel during the reporting process. The handier will advise the judge whether the dog will pick up or point out the articles. If a dog is trained to pick up the articles, it is permissible to stand, sit or return to the handler, It is not necessary for the pick up exercise to be performed the same both times. Both picking up and pointing out together is faulty. If a dog points out the articles, the exercise can be performed by laying down, sifting or standing and again, it is not necessary to perform both indications in the same manner. It is faulty if the dog points out one article and picks up the other or drops the article during the pick up indication.
It is up to the discretion of the handler how the dog is to be started and whether to track on a leash or to track free without a leash. The tracking leash must be 10 meters in length and must be completely let out during the tracking phase. Should a handler choose to track without a tracking leash, the dog must be followed at a distance of 10-12 meters, The track should be worked out by the dog in a quiet manner so that the handler can follow at a convenient pace. When the articles are found they are to be taken by the handier and shown to the judge by raising an arm, The articles are to be returned to the judge after the completion of the track.
Dispensing food for praising purposes is not permitted while on the track. After the completion of the track, the handler reports to the judge with the dog sitting at heel to present the articles. The judge may stop the evaluation if, after 15 minutes on the track, the end has not been successfully reached.
Each individual exercise begins and ends with the basic position.
The judge gives the signal to begin each exercise. All further movements, such as turns, halt, change of pace etc. will be carried out without signals from the judge; however, the handler is permitted to request the judge to give commands (signals) for all of these movements.
The transition from fast pace to slow pace must be shown without putting any normal-pace steps in between. The "left-about-tums" may be made in either of two ways.
The handler stands with his dog sifting beside him, on leash, in the basic position. When the handler gives the verbal command "heel/Fug", the dog must go with him willingly. At the start of the exercise, the handier and dog must go straight out 40-50 paces without stopping, make an about-turn, and after 10-15 paces must show the fast pace and the slow pace (at least 10 paces each.) Then, in normal pace, the handler and dog must perform at least one right turn, one left turn, and one about-turn. The dog must remain always on the left side of the handler, with his shoulder-blade level with the handler's knee; the dog may not forge, lag or travel out wide from the handler.
The "about-turn" is to be shown as a left-about-turn. The handler may give the verbal command "heel/Fug" only when starting forward and when changing pace. When the handler stops, the dog must sit quickly without influence from the handler. During this procedure, the handler may not change his basic position and especially may not move to accommodate a crooked-sifting dog. The lead must be held in the handler's left hand throughout the exercise, and it must hang slack. Upon the judge's signal, the handler takes his dog through a group of at least four people. The handler must stop once in the group. The group members are to move about one another. Lagging, forging, heeling wide, and hesitation of the handler at the turns are faulty.
At the judge's instruction, the dog is unleashed while in the basic position. The handier hangs the lead around his shoulder or puts it in his pocket, and then proceeds immediately into the group with his free-heeling dog, stopping at least once in the group. After leaving the group, the handler briefly assumes the basic position, and then begins the free-heeling routine, following the same pattern as in the "heeling-on-leash" exercise.
While the handier is performing the "free-heeling" exercise (but not while he is going through the Group), two shots (caliber 6-9 mm) are to be fired, The dog must remain indifferent to the gunshots.
Special merit is placed upon indifference to gunshots. The shots are fired at a distance of about 15 paces (45), two shots, with an interval of five seconds between them. If the dog runs away when the shots are fired, he is excused from the trial. If the judge believes that he detects gun-sensitivity in a dog, it is his prerogative to test the dog further by having more shots fired. The test for indifference to gunshots may only be conducted during the "free-heeling" and the "down under distraction" exercises.
From the basic position, the handler goes straight forward with his free-heeling dog. After at least ten paces, the handler gives the verbal command "sit/sitz", and the dog must sit quickly without the handler altering his pace or looking backwards. The handier goes on another 30 paces, then stops and turns to face his dog. At the judge's signal, the handler returns to the dog and takes up the basic position on the dog's right side, Up to 5 points will be deducted if the dog lies down or remains standing instead of sitting at the command.
Verbal commands: "down/platz"; "come/hier"; "heel/Fuß"
From the basic position, the handier gives the verbal command "heel/Fuß and proceeds straight forward with his dog. After at least ten paces, the verbal command "down/platz" is given and the dog must quickly fie down. Without any other influence on the dog and without turning around, the handler goes on a further 30 paces, turns immediately to face his dog, and remains standing still.
At the judge's signal, the handler recalls his dog. The dog must come in rapidly and happily and must sit close in front of the handier. On the verbal command "heel/Fuß", the dog must quickly go to sit beside the handler. If the dog remains standing, or sits, but comes in perfectly, up to 5 points may be deducted.
The dog sits free next to the handier. The handier throws an article about ten paces (30) away. Upon the single verbal command "fetch/bring", the dog must run rapidly to the thrown article, immediately pick it up, and return to the handier at a fast pace. The dog must sit close in front of the handler and must hold the article in his grasp until the handler, after a brief pause, takes the article from the dog with the verbal command "out/aus."
On the verbal command "heel/Fuß", the dog must rapidly go and sit on the left side of the handler. A wooden dumbbell may be used instead of a handier's article. The handier must remain in the basic position until the dog has relinquished the article and is sifting on the handler's left side in the "finish" position.
If the dog drops the article, plays with it or mouths it, up to 4 points may be deduct-' ed. Changing of basic position by the handler can cause a deduction of up to 3 points. If the dog does not retrieve the article, the exercise will be scored 0 points.
Point-deductions are as follows: For light touching, up to 2 points; for heavy touching and light stepping on the jump, up to 3 points; for heavy stepping on the jump, dropping the article, playing with it or mouthing it, up to 4 points.
If the article thrown by the handler lands over to one side, through poor throwing or strong side-wind, the handler may ask the judge for permission to go pick up the article and re-throw it. No point-deduction will result from this.
If there is handler-help on the jumps, even without the handler changing his basic position, points will be deducted. More points will be lost if the handler leaves his basic position to help the dog on the jumps. Banging on the hurdle, in combination with leaving the basic position, is considered such an enormous help that no points can be given for either the outward or the return jump. The handler must remain in the basic position until the dog has relinquished the article and returned quickly to sit beside the handier on the verbal command "heel/Fuß". If several different hurdles are available, all the dogs must jump the same one.
Verbal commands: "go out/voraus"; "down/platz"; "sit/sitz"
Repeated raising and lowering of the arm is not allowed, The dog is to go out in a straight direction, but minor deviations are not faulty. Strong deviation, too short a go-out, too early or hesitant lying down, and standing up of the dog on the handler's return will result in point loss.
Before the start of the obedience exercises of another dog, the handler downs his dog at a distance of about 40 paces, without leaving the leash or any type of article with the dog. Remaining within the dog's sight, the handler goes to a spot about 40 paces from the dog, without turning around, and there remains quietly standing with his back to the dog. The dog must remain lying there, without any influence from the handier, until the other dog working on the field has completed exercises 1-6. After exercise 6, the "downed" dog will be picked up by the same procedure as in exercise 7 above.
The handler must stand quietly with his back to his dog in that spot on the trial ground where he was instructed to stand, until the judge instructs him to pick up his dog. Restless behavior of the handler, and other hidden help, as well as too early getting up of the dog when the handler returns, are faulty.
If the dog stands or sits, but remains on the spot where he was put down, a partial score will be given. If, prior to the completion of exercise 3 by the dog on the field, the "downed" dog moves a distance of more than 3 meters (10') from where he was put down, the exercise will receive 0 points. If the "downed" dog leaves his position after the other dog completes exercise 3, he will receive partial points. If the dog comes to meet the handler as the handler goes to pick him up, up to 3 points are deducted.
Six blinds are to be set up in a staggered fashion, three on each side, along the length of an area measuring about 100 meters (300 ft.) long and about 80 meters (240 ft.) wide. A Helper with a full protection suit, protection sleeve and soft stick is placed in the last (sixth) blind, out of sight of the dog.
The handler (HF) positions himself, with his dog off leash sifting beside him, on an imaginary midline at the level of the fifth blind. By raising one arm high into the air, the HF signals the judge that he is ready to begin the work. Upon a signal from the judge, the HF begins the Protection Work. Upon the handler giving short voice commands and hand signals with the right or left arm, which may be repeated, the dog must quickly leave the handier and run to and around the last two blinds in order. The HF must move along the imaginary midline, and may not leave this position during the search for the Helper.
Once the dog has completed a search to one side, the HF may call the dog to him with a short voice command and, while still moving (on the center line), he may send the dog in another direction with a new short voice command. The voice command used to recall the dog to the handler may be combined with the call name of the dog. The dog must always run in front of the handler (while crossing the field to search). When the dog reaches the last blind, the handler must stop and stand still, and no further commands are allowed.
The dog must confront the Helper attentively and bark continuously. The dog may not jump on or grip the Helper. Upon a signal from the judge, the HF goes to his dog. Upon another signal from the judge, the HF will position himself, with his dog in the basic position, at a distance of one step (one pace) away from the Helper.
Now the HF orders the Helper to move out of the blind a distance of five steps (paces).
Upon a signal from the judge, the HF with his free-heeling dog steps away from the blind and positions himself at a distance of five paces from the Helper. The handler leaves his dog in a sifting position guarding the Helper, and goes back again into the blind (to search the blind for weapons etc.). Upon a signal from the judge, the Helper tries to escape. Upon a voice command from the HF, the dog must immediately and without hesitation prevent the escape by means of an energetic and strong grip. Upon a signal from the judge, the Helper stops and stands still. The dog must release upon a single command and must guard the Helper closely and attentively.
After a guarding phase of about five seconds, and upon a signal from the judge, the Helper makes an attack upon the dog. Without any influence by the HF and without hesitation, the dog must defend itself through energetic and powerful griping. Upon a signal from the judge, the Helper stops and stands still. Upon a single short voice command, the dog must release and then guard the Helper closely and attentively. The HF goes to his dog and commands him to "heel". The stick is not taken from the Helper.
The handler with his dog will be sent into the middle of the field, at about the level of the third blind. The dog must sit next to his handler and may be hold by the collar.
Upon a signal from the judge, the Helper, carrying a stick, steps out from the sixth blind in a normal pace and walks directly toward the dog. As soon as the Helper has reached a point about 30 paces from the HF and his dog (which is sitting at heel beside him), the judge gives the HF a signal and the HF lets his dog go. The handler himself may not move from his position.
The Helper makes a frontal attack upon the dog, accompanied by intimidating utterances and fierce threatening motions. The dog must thwart the attack through energetic and powerful griping. Once the dog is griping the sleeve, he is to receive two stick hits. The hits are permitted on the thighs, side-portions (ribcage) and in the region of the withers (top of shoulder blades), Upon a signal from the judge, the Helper stops and stands still. Upon a single short voice command, the dog must release and then guard the Helper closely and attentively. Upon a signal from the judge, the HF goes to his dog, disarms the Helper, and positions himself for the start of the side-transport.
Now there is a side-transport of the Helper to the judge over a distance of about 20 paces. A short voice command at the start of the transport is allowed. The HF must walk on the right side of the Helper, with the dog between the HF and the Helper. During the transport, the dog may neither jump on nor grip the Helper. The group stops in front of the judge, and the HF presents the stick to the judge. The Helper leaves the field. The dog must remain in the free-heeling position while the dog and handier walk to the place where the critique will be given, and during the critique the dog must remain sitting free in the heel position. After the critique, the dog handler leaves the field with his dog heeling free beside him.

Q: Laravel displaying all jobs on same date under 1 header I created table  displaying the date as a heading then the job for that day beneath it. But when i have 2 jobs on the same day it displays the date twice with each job beneath it. I want to display all the jobs for that day together under 1 Date (Heading).
thankshow its displaying

        @foreach($loads as $load)

        @endforeach

A: I was going to recommend saving the date inside the loop and then before rendering the header check if it was the same as the last one; I am not familiar with Laravel and was looking for a way to do this, but looks like setting a local variable in the template itself is apparently discouraged.
What you need to do is basically group your results by date (or in this case, by the header), that way when you are walking the loop, you could have multiple rows on the same date.
This is a very rough example but should give you a better idea of what I am proposing:
$loads = array(
    array( 'pickup_date' => 'foo', /* more items here... */ ),
    array( 'pickup_date' => 'foo', /* more items here... */ ),
    array( 'pickup_date' => 'bar', /* more items here... */ ),
    array( 'pickup_date' => 'bar', /* more items here... */ ),
    array( 'pickup_date' => 'baz', /* more items here... */ ),
);

// Group by date...
$grouped_loads = array_reduce($loads, function($carry, $load) {
    $carry[ $load['pickup_date'] ][]= $load;

    return $carry;
}, array());

At this point, $grouped_loads should look like this:
array(
    'foo' => array(
        array( 'pickup_date' => 'foo', /* more items here... */ ),
        array( 'pickup_date' => 'foo', /* more items here... */ ),
    ),
    'bar' => array(
        array( 'pickup_date' => 'bar', /* more items here... */ ),
        array( 'pickup_date' => 'bar', /* more items here... */ ),
    ),
    'baz' => array(
        array( 'pickup_date' => 'baz', /* more items here... */ ),
    ),
);

So you will now do a nested foreach, one for each date, then one for each item in the date. Laravel provides you with $loop and $loop->first, so you can now only render the header for the first item:
@foreach($grouped_loads as $loads)
    @foreach($loads as $load)
        @if ($loop->first)

                {{date('l, d-F-Y', strtotime($load->pickup_date))}}

        @endif

            {{date("g:i a", strtotime($load->pick_up_time))}}
            <textarea>{{$user->customer}}</textarea>
            {{$load->pickup_location}}
            {{$load->drop_off_location}}

            {{$load->vehicle}}
            {{$load->driver}}
            <textarea>{{$load->notes}}</textarea>

                id)}}" class="fa fa-2x fa-pencil-square-o" style="color:#FF6F00;">
                id)}}" class="fa fa-2x fa-truck" style="color:#5cac00;">
                id)}}" class="fa fa-2x fa-phone" style="color:#00b1e6;">

    @endforeach
@endforeach

A: Best way is to sort your collection in the first place to make sure each date has its own loads:
$loads = {....}; // here are the loads
$dates = []; // here will be the dates

// get all loads pickup dates
$dates = $loads->pluck('pickup_date');

// remove duplicated dates
$dates = $dates->unique();

// assign each load to its date
foreach($dates->toArray() as $key => $date)
    $dates[$date] = $loads->filter(function($load){
        return $load->pickup_date === $date;
    });

// return the dates instead of loads
return $dates;

Now for the blade part:

        @foreach($dates as $date => $collection)

                {{date('l, d-F-Y', strtotime($date))}}

            @foreach($collection as $load)

                    {{date("g:i a", strtotime($load->pick_up_time))}}
                    <textarea>{{$user->customer}}</textarea>
                    {{$load->pickup_location}}
                    {{$load->drop_off_location}}

                    {{$load->vehicle}}
                    {{$load->driver}}
                    <textarea>{{$load->notes}}</textarea>

                        id)}}" class="fa fa-2x fa-pencil-square-o" style="color:#FF6F00;">
                        id)}}" class="fa fa-2x fa-truck" style="color:#5cac00;">
                        id)}}" class="fa fa-2x fa-phone" style="color:#00b1e6;">

Optus has launched "It's Possible", a new brand campaign featuring a hi-tech yellow cube. The first television commercial, shot in Shanghai, China, and Canowindra, Australia, features a woman who connects with her loved one across the other side of the world in a dreamscape powered by Optus.
The "It's Possible" campaign was developed at M&C Saatchi, Sydney, by executive creative director Ben Welsh, creative director Andy Flemming, creative director Shane Gibson, head of strategy Colin Jowell, senior producer Loren August, managing partner Christine Gardner, account director James Rendel.
Filming was shot by director Michael Wong via Goodoil Films with executive producer Juliet Bishop.
Editor was Daniel Lee at The Editors.
Post production was done at Fuel VFX, Sydney, by VFX supervisor Steve Anderson, producer Erica Ford and art director Brendan Savage.
Fuel drew on the Kinect technology, Microsoft's motion-sensing software used for its Xbox 360 interactive games. The Kinect camera captures the depth in a scene and with its low-resolution, 'noisy' visual output, was perfect for helping to achieve a digital look of the girl and her environment.
On location in Shanghai, two Kinect cameras were rigged on to an Arri Alexa digital camera, the Kinect capturing depth and the Alexa capturing colour. Lidar scans were taken of the entire streetscapes, which give long-range, detailed 3D outputs in high resolution. Further, hundreds of photogrammetry stills were also taken to support the Lidar and to give it colour information later in the process.
The visual effects team developed proprietary software that allowed for a streamlining of data acquisition from the Kinect camera to enable the production team to review the footage while on location. For production, this saved time, money and negated the need for a studio shoot.
Back at Fuel's Newtown studio, artists used a suite of technologies to combine the elements from the Kinect data, the Alexa footage, the Lidar scans and photogrammetry to re-build a complete CG representation of the environment and the action within it, followed by the transitions from virtual to real life.

Q: Escaping quotation marks in a variable with sed I have a sed command in my script that prints data between specific parts of the text passed to the command as variables:
sed -n "$PART1|,|$PART2|p" file.txt

Everything is fine until I try a part of the text containing a double qoute. For instance, PART1 = of the Rings" and PART2 = Sauron.
I've tried changing the syntax to
sed -n '$PART1|,|$PART2|p' file.txt

However, it didn't like it at all.
Is there any way to automatically escape double quotes passed to sed with variables? Also, it is not possible to change the double quotes in the source file.
Thank you for any suggestions.

A: Using sed
Let's start with this test file:
$ cat file
something
of the Rings"
keep this text
Dark Lord Sauron
something else

Let's define your variables:
$ part1='of the Rings"'
$ part2=Sauron

Now, let's run sed:
$ sed -n "/$part1/,/$part2/p" file
of the Rings"
keep this text
Dark Lord Sauron

If you really prefer the pipe symbols in place of /:
$ sed -n "\|$part1|,\|$part2|p" file
of the Rings"
keep this text
Dark Lord Sauron

A concern when doing this is that part1 and part2 become part of the sed command and, if maliciously constructed, could do damage to your files.  For this case, it is safer to use awk.
Using awk
$ awk -v p="$part1" -v q="$part2" '$0~p,$0~q' file
of the Rings"
keep this text
Dark Lord Sauron

A: Never enclose scripts in double quotes, always single, to avoid unexpected shell interactions and never use all upper case names for non-exported variables by convention and to avoid clashes with builtin variables. Borrowing @John1024's sample input file:
$ cat file
something
of the Rings"
keep this text
Dark Lord Sauron
something else

$ sed -n '/'"$part1"'/,/'"$part2"'/p' file
of the Rings"
keep this text
Dark Lord Sauron

but more robustly and extensibly you should use an awk script like this:
$ awk -v part1="$part1" -v part2="$part2" '$0~part1{f=1} f; $0~part2{f=0}' file
of the Rings"
keep this text
Dark Lord Sauron

and do not use range expressions. For example to not print the whole range of lines is a trivial tweak with the flag approach:
$ awk -v part1="$part1" -v part2="$part2" 'f; $0~part1{f=1} $0~part2{f=0}' file
keep this text
Dark Lord Sauron

$ awk -v part1="$part1" -v part2="$part2" '$0~part1{f=1} $0~part2{f=0} f' file
of the Rings"
keep this text

In Lonsdale Street you can park legally in the bus stop
Posted on Fri 8 April 2011 Thu 7 April 2011 AuthorDaniel14 Comments
Melbourne's busiest bus street, Lonsdale Street, has a bus every minute or two. By my estimate, based on looking at the Melway (because there is still no system-wide PT map available) and checking a few timetables, between the peaks on weekdays, on the busiest section of Elizabeth Street to Russell Street, we have… routes 200/201/203/205/207: 9 per hour; routes 250/251/253: 6 per hour; the Smartbuses 16 per hour; route 605: 3 per hour (eastbound only); infrequent routes 302/305/309: 4 per hour = 38 buses per hour.
So it's ridiculous that it doesn't have full time bus lanes.
But it's doubly ridiculous that outside peak times, they've set it up to allow cars to park in the bus stops, including right in front of the bus shelters (which appears to discourage their use).
Way to rub people's noses in it while they wait for a bus.

Yes, ridiculous situation. Do you think it's deliberate or a stuff up?
I thought I knew all the road rules, and I thought it wasn't possible to use a parking sign to overrule a statutory ban on parking 20 m before and 10 m after a bus stop sign. But it seems I was wrong.

Philip – whatever the legalities and priorities of jurisdictions, I know if someone got a ticket for parking in accordance with the signs they'd have all the grounds necessary with which to successfully dispute the charge. The driver would walk away, and leave the various jurisdictions to fight out the territorial subtleties.
So, in practice, it is "possible". The question here is whether it is "sensible" to put such signs in this spot. Even more so if the actual intention is that the bus stop is not a parking space, despite appearances and implications of the signage.
Fri 8 April 2011 at 1:41 pm
I think the Melbourne City council must be addicted to parking income. It's equally ridiculous that parking is allowed on some of the "little" streets. Little Lonsdale has just about the narrowest footpaths I've ever seen and yet parking is allowed on BOTH sides in some areas, which means not only do you have to contend with a narrow footpath but every 3 metres you have to do a little dance to avoid the parking meters.
Certainly in Sydney there would not be parking is such places. Is the 605 running along Lonsdale another recent change?
@Roger, I don't think someone paints all those new lines (on top of the red bus lane markings) and puts signs up accidentally.
@Andrew, the 605 moved to Lonsdale Street (eastbound; it's a clockwise loop) perhaps 8-9 years ago I would guess.

Don't be silly Daniel. No one uses buses in Melbourne, there's no need to cater for them!

It's even better when a van parks there and the bus driver doesn't see you, so he just drives right on past. It's quite ridiculous.

anyone know what on earth they are doing between Elizabeth and Swanston? all those concrete foundation things in the median, and now it looks like they have moved the right turning lane for westbound cars to access the shopping centre car park (it used to be "in" the median) so that now this turn lane is in place of one of the two existing eastbound lanes leaving one regular lane and the bus lane… who wants to bet on the bus lane remaining a bus lane with only one lane for our precious private motors?
Mon 11 April 2011 at 7:50 pm
all jokes aside regarding Julian's comment, but why do so many buses run into the city anyway? surely direct to city access is not the bus's forte? I think I would rather a shorter bus ride to the nearest rail station than the "convenience" of riding a single vehicle all the way into town…
Daniel, how many of the routes listed above would become "surplus to requirements" if a heavy rail line were built to the Doncaster area? Most of the ones I can think of head out that way, I tried to find out about more, but there is a disturbing lack of information available about the bus "network" short of looking up specific routes individually…
From metlink:
Please note, no metropolitan bus network map is available. However, metropolitan bus route information is available via:
Local government area maps
individual route maps
journey planner.
why is there no map? sure journey planner is useful sometimes, but it shouldn't be the best way to find out which bus to catch… not everyone has access to a PC or smart(ish) phone… and the first two options are all but useless IMO, especially to visitors from out of town…
Mon 11 April 2011 at 10:33 pm
"why is there no map?"
I've been asking Metlink this question about twice a year since 2006.
The crux of it seems to be that rather than just giving the public a map that serves the main purpose of a PT map (i.e. visualise different routes and see roughly where they go and where they meet up), Metlink seem to have been sold on creating a very complicated and detailed map that integrates with the journey planner.
Whilst this would be cool, and is probably worth aiming for eventually. A regular map would have been nice to be able to see over the past 5 years or so.

There do not appear to be a maps of where the buses go from Doncaster shoppingtown, at any of the stops for the local buses at the shoppingtown. Seriously – last time I was there, the route maps for the 903 ring bus were at their stops, but goodness only knows where the other ones go, or how to get anywhere in the local area. Way to get people to use them.
(I mention this because there is not only a lack of overall maps of the network, or maps of where buses go in local areas that would help people in the areas at the time, but even of maps of the ACTUAL ROUTES THEMSELVES.)
Pingback: – Can social media make cities better? « The Melbourne Urbanist


This weekend many church groups will go out into their communities and tell people about Jesus. Some will be effective, some will not, and others simply will not even go. For those that are going out this teaching may revolutionize your life and make it so that you are 100% effective. That's right 100% effective.
How are you going to be 100% effective? By demonstrating the gospel, and not just talking about it. God has equipped you with all the necessary tools (and I'm not referring to tracts/flyers to pass out). No, you were equipped with everything that Jesus was equipped with. Ephesian 1:3 says that you were blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ. He is not holding anything back. Jesus is the desire of the nations, every heart desires the true love that can only come from him; they just do not know it.
Do not just pass out flyers! Love people, and demonstrate Jesus to them. The gospel is a message that must be experienced, not just read about. How do you do this? Prophetic evangelism. With prophetic evangelism, or power evangelism as some people call it, you unlock the hearts of those you are ministering to and allow them to experience Jesus. Most people already have perception of what Christianity is, and guess what? It's not very good. They assume you are judgmental hypocrites that are going to Bible thump them and condemn them to hell. Love is probably the farthest thing from their mind when think about Christianity. Prophetic Evangelism is about a face to face encounter with the author of love, Jesus. He will reveal things to you about the person you are witnessing to that will forever transform their life. Now I'm not saying 100% of the people will receive your message on the spot, but I am saying that you will effectively convey the message of love and melt their heart. Once you effectively plant that seed of love, it could harvest instantly, an hour later, or a year later, but that is between them and God; you did your part.
On our sister website- demonstrateit.org, we have just explored a 4 part series on how to effectively minister in prophetic evangelism.

Sounds interesting enough that I'm going to read the 4 part teaching. Looking forward to being effective…the Holy Spirit always is.


Both of them are onto something about their current team.
The finish was frustrating, but the stuck-in-the-mud start is what stuck with the Browns.
"I think (Whitner) would be the first to tell you hes been inconsistent, " Pettine said. So far this year he's upped his game considerably.
And it is a string of futility that is finally over. However, the Raiders did drive down the field to earn that win and it was a good momentum builder for this young team."The only thing I've heard about our road record has been from people outside this building, " left tackle Donald Penn said.I don't need to go much into the resume of Sebastian Janikowski.
"All the time", Woodson said. Cooper, again, was huge in a victory over Cleveland as he was last week as well against the Baltimore Ravens. The Raiders rushed for a total of five first downs in their first two games.
Raiders hit road for first time this season…. It is also giving hope to fans around the world that the better days GM Reggie McKenzie has been promising since he took on the job have finally arrived. He can also operate around hard press coverage situations and still find a way to get the ball to his playmakers.
Instead, what seems just as puzzling to me is how the Browns treated McCown on Sunday compared to how they treated Manziel two Sundays ago. The balanced attack makes quarterback Derek Carr more effective. And he's playing like the franchise quarterback the Raiders believe him to be.
Tight ends have now caught 21 passes for 305 yards and five touchdowns against Oakland this season. Opposing quarterbacks have a 102.9 passer rating.
"I feel like I let my team down, and that is one thing I don't want to do", Benjamin said.
No change: The top of Josh McCown's right hand was cut and still swollen on Monday, the result, he thinks, of getting it stepped on during a sack in the third quarter of the 27-20 loss to the Oakland Raiders. Pettine bemoaned a slow start and poor tackling as the main culprits against the Raiders, who led 17-3 at halftime and 27-10 early in the fourth before the Browns rallied. Latavius Murray is needed as a rushing relief valve that can occasionally break out (Sunday, 26 carries for 139 yards).
"It was one of those balls I've got to catch", Benjamin said. He distributed the ball to eight players and threw two touchdown passes.
As good as a victory – and exorcism – as it was, it wasn't without its dark clouds.
Woodson's teammates, even on the offensive side of the ball, say that his choice to play hurt and his ability to play well should never be underestimated as a morale tool. "If that was the case, where you didn't like one, he'd go out there the next day and run 100 of them to make sure you liked it". Sign up today. I just didn't put enough on the ball… we would have had a shot.
Oakland's Charles Woodson had a specific motivation Sunday against Cleveland. He returned six punts for 154 yards – including a 78-yard touchdown – and made three catches for 115 yards, with scoring receptions of 60 and 50 yards. "You can't fall behind in the National Football League and expect to play well late and then win".
It's still a problem for this Raiders defense that hasn't been remedied yet.
They regularly don't spend unnecessary valuable valuable time. They were able to hold a lead throughout the entire game, and won the all important giveaway/takeaway ratio 2-1; this included a clutch game sealing pick by Charles Woodson in the 4th quarter. He didn't do much with two opportunities, one of which went for a 9-yard loss.

Q: How to add new column to row containing certain value? I'm newbie in Python coding.
I need add new column to row contained certain word.
I have csv file as following:
one  two three four five
two  one five three four
five two four three five

I need add "2" to all rows containing "two" in the second column.
Like this:
one  two three four five 2
two  one five three four
five two four three five 2

Thanks in advance

A: This is quite a simple parse, so I wouldn't bother with the csv module. Simply open the file and iterate over each line. Do a split on each line, which splits the lines into a list using whitespace as a delimiter (default). The next couple of lines should be obvious: those that have "two" as the second column (second item in the split list)) are supplemented, those that don't aren't.
After you have read the file and modified the lines, write it to a new file.
newlines = []
with open("thecsv.txt") as f:
    for l in f:
        if l.split()[1] == "two":
            newlines.append(l.strip() + " 2\n")
        else:
            newlines.append(l)
with open("newcsv.txt", 'w') as f:
    for l in newlines:
        f.write(l)

A: You can do something like
import csv

with open('input.csv','r') as csvinput:
    with open('output.csv', 'w') as csvoutput:
        writer = csv.writer(csvoutput, lineterminator='\n')
        reader = csv.reader(csvinput)

        all = []

        for row in reader:
            if(row[1] == "two"):
                row.append(2)
            all.append(row)

        writer.writerows(all)

A: You can open the file you are reading and the file you want to write to at once:
with open('my_text.txt') as read_file, open("output.txt", "w+") as write_file:
    for line in read_file:

Read each line and remove and whitespace after it
        line.strip()

Split each line if there is whitespace between them:
        my_list = line.split()
        if my_list[1] == "two":
            my_list.append("2")

Add "2" to the list and then join the list with a space between each item. Add a new line at the end of the line.
        write_file.write(" ".join(my_list) + "\n")


THE huge proposed hike in the cost of dying in Poole has led to calls for the council's cabinet to cut the increases, which range from eight to nearly 10 per cent.
Borough of Poole's own equalities impact assessment identified that the steep rise in fees would adversely affect the more vulnerable older residents and those with disabilities or ill health.
A report before Borough of Poole's environment overview and scrutiny committee revealed that the £135,000 additional income from bereavement fees for 2011/12 was higher than the £112,000 beach hut income.
"It is shocking that the increases in bereavement fees are planned to rake in more extra cash for the council than the controversial 15 per cent hike in beach hut fees," said Liberal Democrat Cllr Phil Eades. "At least the beach hut tenants have the option not to renew their beach hut tenancy.
"All residents of Poole are caught by the charges for cemeteries and crematoria.
His recommendation, seconded by Cllr Sandra Moore, was approved and will now go to cabinet for a decision.
Fees for the cremation of an adult for example, rose from £455 in April 2009 to £535 last September and will cost £580 from April this year, a further increase of just under 10 per cent.
The three-year plan is for an additional 7.5 per cent increase in 2012/13 bringing in another £105,000 plus 7.5 per cent in 2013/14 totalling an extra £115,000.
However Clive Smith, head of leisure services, said they were not planning two rises, as happened last year, and would be reviewing future increases as the year progressed.
"We are trying not to cut core frontline services but we have to cope with the massive budget cuts of the council," he said.
Beach hut income is due to outstrip bereavement fees in the two future financial years.

Leading West Virginia Newspaper Endorses Challenger Morrisey for Attorney General
West Virginia's leading newspaper has endorsed challenger Patrick Morrisey over five-term incumbent Darrell McGraw in that state's closely watched race for attorney general.
The Charleston Daily Mail says that "McGraw has turned the office into a mass tort trial lawyers firm, . . . color[ing] the state's legal climate." In fact, West Virginia owes some of its reputation as a perennial judicial hellhole to McGraw's litigious antics. Furthermore, "McGraw has shamelessly used the office to promote his name recognition among voters," says the paper.
"Enough. West Virginians deserve better."
In endorsing Morrisey, on the other hand, the Daily Mail says he "would pursue ethics reform, institute competitive bidding for outside counsel, return all settlement money to the state, and be aggressive in challenging overreaching federal regulation. He is experienced in health care law, which could be helpful."
A change to Morrisey in the attorney general'a office, the endorsement concludes, would be "most welcome."
