Q: Insert characters in SSIS I have a requirement where I need to insert special characters for a particular column after the interval  2,3,3
example

ABCDEFGHIJKL -> AB-CDE-FGH-IJKL

I know I need to use Derived column in SSIS 2012 but I am stuck with the expression. I would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with the correct expression

A: The logic will be that you need to split your string at a given ordinal position into two pieces and then concatenate those pieces back together with your special character.
A derived column is going to be a bit ugly because the language doesn't have the power of the .net libraries. We'll make heavy use and abuse of SUBSTRING to get the job done
SUBSTRING(MyCol, 1, 2) + "-" + SUBSTRING(MyCol, 2, LEN(MyCol) -2)

That applies the first special character logic. To simplify matters, I would add this column as MyColStep1 to the data flow. I then add a second Derived Column task that uses the above logic but instead uses MyColStep1 as the input. Taking this approach will make it much, much easier to debug (since you can attach a data viewer on the output path of each component).
SUBSTRING(MyColStep1, 1, 6) + "-" + SUBSTRING(MyColStep1, 6, LEN(MyColStep1) -6)

Etc.

"The 1980 Kardiac Kids" — Our Untold Stories by Don Cockroft with Bob Moon likely is the most extensive recounting of a single NFL team's season ever written. Indeed, the depth of its player profiles and the exhaustive examination of significant events from that season make the book a superb read, whether or not one is a fan of the Cleveland Browns.
Even seasoned football observers will come away from "The 1980 Kardiac Kids" with a broader and deeper understanding of one of the most memorable teams in NFL history.
The book offers the most detailed profiles available of many lesser-known players, as well as 1980 NFL Most Valuable Player Brian Sipe and former Cleveland linebacker Bill Cowher.
...the book's defining characteristic is the depth of its player interviews, which focus on explanation rather than on gossip… the profiles are presented without cheerleading and without celebratory, self-promoting prose. Moreover, the authors do not shy away from addressing controversial subjects, including some player's off-the-field struggles.
The central question of the book, of course, is why Cleveland chose to attempt a pass to score a late touchdown… when a field goal would have won the game. The book's varied perspectives do well in explaining one of the most controversial coaching decisions of the past half-century.
Many retrospective football books have focused on player biographies or on individual games; none have done it as deeply as this one while capturing the team's connection with its home city.
The 1980 Kardiac Kids is an exceptional achievement and is worthy of a place on any football fan's bookshelf."

2017 just continues to sail over the top of the world as The Hardways, the southwest deserts favorite saloon rocking band is back in the studio. Lead vocalist, Gingher Leyendecker, recently spoke about how there is so much music inside The Hardways that they knew it wouldn't be long after their 2016 release "Whittle It Away" that there would soon be another album. "We all have so many stories to tell, that is what comes from a singer-songwriter's heart, stories and you naturally want to share them."
Whether The Hardways are playing on the big stage or across a dance floor at a local dive bar their energy is genuine and their music connects. The Hardways fans follow them, because the band's lyrics, sound, and friendless resonates deep in the hearts of the fans who love them. This is the working person's music, this is where any man or woman who has put in a long day's work knows they can come, grab a shot, and rock out to some tunes and feel good about what they are doing. The Hardways sound is living, and loving life.
Their producer Jamie Weddle will be back with them again as they enter the studio again come March 2017 to begin recording at the Studio Cat Productions. The Hardways are ready to get this project underway!
The Hardways began their tumble and roll back in 2004. With only a few lineup changes along the way this brand of smooth tasting saloon rock even makes Jack D. wish he could be just as cool. The Hardways brand of music is the quencher for anyone who loves rock, blues, punk, garage, saloon, and a sure shot bar night!
When asked what their new album's working title was Gingher admitted, "You know last time we asked our fans to help us name our album, "Whittle It Away," and we had so much fun doing that, so we are going to do it again! So, follow us on our social media as we want everyone involved! We will announce it on our Facebook when the time comes for our fans to name our next album."

Q: Return json enconde associative array only one item I have a $variable = array(...);
And I need print it a JSON response like this
{
  info: {
    "foo": true,
    "bar": "lion"
  },
  data: [
    {"id": 123,
     "name": "foo",
     "baz": {  "some":1,
               "data":true
             }
    },
    {"id": 321,
     "name": "bar",
     "baz": {}
    }
  ]
}

So, the problem is with response["data"][1]["baz"]
Sometimes, this variable can by a empty array {} but when I uses json_encode return this as no-associative array []

I need this variable as associative array

but if in PHP we put
echo json_encode($variable,JSON_FORCE_OBJECT);

Return this
{
  info: {
    "foo": true,
    "bar": "lion"
  },
  data: {
    0: {"id": 123,
        "name": "foo",
        "baz": {  "some":1,
                  "data":true
                }
    },
    1: {"id": 321,
        "name": "bar",
        "baz": {}
       }
  ]
}

and response["data"] must be a no-associative array
thus,

*

*return baz as an associative array {} (even if empty, here the problem).

*return data always as no-associative array [].

response["data"] must be a list because is read by a external library in javascript

A: If you make the property in question an ArrayObject rather than a built-in array, it will be serialized as an object regardless if it's empty.
# Converting the existing array, which may be empty, to an ArrayObject
$baz = new ArrayObject($baz);

# Or create a new ArrayObject
$baz = new ArrayObject();
$baz['a'] = 'b';

Alternatively you could use the stdClass class in those cases when the array is empty. This will be serialized as an empty object ({}).
if (empty($baz)) {
    $baz = new stdClass();
}

Automobile's are designed and manufactured to protect occupants during an impact. When vehicle occupants are injured or killed, vehicle manufacturers and sellers might be liable for injuries and damages. We've successfully litigated cases against the largest auto companies in the world, from Ford to Toyota.
As consumers, we trust the products we buy and use to be safe. When defective products cause harm, legal damages may be sought.
The emotional and psychological damage caused by childhood sexual and physical abuse can result in a lifetime of pain and suffering. In many cases the abuser is a trusted adult and respected member of the community. The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers treat each case individually, with compassion and attention to detail and have the expertise, resources, and track record to stand up to the toughest opponents.
Our government exists to protect us. We rely on our state, county, and local governmental organizations to provide essential services that are necessary for the health, safety, and welfare of the public. Unfortunately, there are occasions when governmental organizations and individual government employees fall beneath the standard or care expected of those entrusted to provide such vital services to our citizenry.
Accidents happen. At work and at play, while traveling and at home, unforeseen risks and countless variables are present. If an accident results in serious injury or death, certain entities may be complicit or responsible and therefore liable for damages.
The amount of trust we place in our medical professionals can't be understated. In life and death situations, we need to know that the care we receive will be careful, considerate, and appropriate.
Talcum powder, such as that found in Johnson & Johnson baby powder, has been a standard household item for over 100 years. On May 2, 2016, a jury in St. Louis, Missouri ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $55 million to a woman from South Dakota, finding that the woman's ovarian cancer was caused by years of using talcum baby powder. This follows a February 2016 jury verdict, of $72 million to the family of an Alabama woman who also died of ovarian cancer believed to be caused by use of Johnson & Johnson's baby powder and other talcum products. The lawsuits and a discussion of the associated cancer risks from talcum powder were recently covered by The New York Times' "Well" blog.
Evidence showed that Johnson & Johnson knew about the risks of using a product that contains talc, but failed to warn consumers.
Talc, a naturally occurring mineral, contains magnesium, silicon, oxygen and hydrogen and is used to absorb moisture. In powdered form, talc absorbs moisture and cuts down on friction, which is why it's popular for preventing rashes and keeping skin dry.
The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers are currently handling cases of individuals that have developed ovarian cancer as a result of talcum powder use.
Church — Catholic, Mormon, Episcopalian
Faith-based institutions are meant to be shelters against the perils of the world. When the trust between clergy and the children in their care is shattered by abuse, the institutions too often turn a blind eye to victims, leaving them damaged and helpless. The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers have represented victims of clergy sexual abuse for nearly two decades with a proven record of securing justice for clients.
Schools — Teachers, Coaches, Principals, Students
Children thrive best in an environment built on trust and safety, and the adults charged with facilitating learning and supplying guidance have a shared responsibility to sustain it. Seeking justice for children who were sexually abused doesn't just mean bringing an individual perpetrator to trial, it also requires holding the school and district accountable for failing to protect its students. School employees have a responsibility to report potentially volatile or dangerous information to the proper authorities. When a preventable situation results in personal harm, the school and its employees may be liable. With a long track record of winning verdicts and settlements, the attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers will stand up to any institution and fight to secure a just recovery for our clients.
Campus Rape/Title IX Matters
The United States Supreme Court has made clear that, under Title IX, students may seek monetary damages from schools that have been deliberately indifferent to risk of sexual assault or harassment by teachers, staff, or fellow students. Additionally, if a school or university fails to properly investigate and/or respond to a victim's report of sexual assault, a Title IX claim may arise. It is essential that a school or university's investigation be examined by attorneys with expertise in prosecuting sexual assault cases. The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers have this expertise and are dedicated to advocating for the rights of sexual assault victims.
Youth Groups — Boy Scouts, Boys & Girls Club
Extracurricular groups can be essential social and support networks for youth, teaching important skills and providing structure. Unfortunately, these trusted institutions can also camouflage predators and provide opportunity for the sexual abuse of vulnerable children. The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers have a deep commitment to holding youth groups accountable and have shown tireless dedication and an unmatched record of success in their pursuit of justice on the behalf of sexual abuse victims.
Child Protective Services (CPS)/Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) Failings/Foster Homes
It is the responsibility of the government entities assigning foster care and social services to provide vulnerable children a safe place to live. They have a duty to protect those children that they take into their care. It is essential that they ensure that foster parents are qualified and capable of providing the care that children need. When sexual and physical abuse occurs as a result of their failures, malfeasance, or negligence, these agencies must be held accountable. With unrivaled knowledge and understanding of the systems and procedures involved, the attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers have sought and won damages in multiple foster care abuse cases.
As a parent, putting a child in someone else's care is the ultimate act of trust. As a child, leaving the safety of your family for days or weeks at a time is truly an act of courage. Those who take advantage of this vulnerability and abuse the children in their care must be held accountable, and so must the agencies that employ and enable them. The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers have the experience and passion to pursue justice for those abused at youth camps and approach each case with tireless dedication.
Physician on Patient
Medical practitioners provide essential services and the importance of their role can't be overstated. We rely on them to keep us healthy and trust them with our very lives. When the Hippocratic Oath is broken and abuse occurs, it's often against a person who is compromised and vulnerable. The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers are the voice for those who have none and the legal team for the vulnerable who need it most.
Takata Airbags
In October of 2014, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recalled cars with airbags manufactured by the Japanese supplier, Takata. A propellant inside the airbags was deemed unstable and could explode even in a minor accident. This sent metal shards flying into the cabin, causing injuries and death. Recalls continue to grow and consumers continue to drive at-risk vehicles with Takata airbags.
GM Ignition Switches
In February of 2014, GM recalled 2.6 million Chevrolet Cobalts and other small cars that had faulty ignitions that could unexpectedly turn off the engine. This disabled power steering, power brakes and the airbags. GM added additional waves of recalls until more than 30 million vehicles were recalled.
The Law Offices of James S. Rogers represented families of two people that died in separate accidents caused by ignition switch failures.
Sudden Unintended Acceleration
Since 1999, more than 2,000 Toyota and Lexus owners have reported to the National Highway Safety Administration and other agencies incidents where their vehicles suddenly accelerate, a phenomenon known as Sudden Unintended Acceleration (SUA), when the driver's foot is not on the pedal. As of Feb. 2010 SUA in Toyota and Lexus vehicles was reported to be the cause of 814 crashes, 341 injuries and 19 deaths.
For more information on SUA visit: www.safetyresearch.net/toyota-sudden-unintended-acceleration
Seat Back Failure
In March of 2016, a Texas jury awarded a more than $124.5 million verdict against Audi after an 11-year old boy suffered permanent brain damage in an automobile accident. The child was sitting behind his father in the back seat of the car. Upon impact, the driver's seat collapsed backward and the boy's father flew backward into the boy causing his injuries.
Seat back failure during crashes have also been seen in incidents involving almost every major American, Japanese and Korean automaker.
Roof Crush
In accidents that involve a rollover, some vehicles' roofs crush due to weak or poor design. This poses a serious risk to drivers and passengers, as the roof often enters the occupant's survival space. This can cause brain injury, paralysis or death.
Alternatives that prevent roof crush, from roll bars to reinforced roof supports, exist. But, it is ultimately the auto manufacturer that decides if they should install these items.
Stronger regulations that require more stringent testing of vehicles to prevent roof crush was implemented in September of 2015. Though the standard is an improvement, it still does not go far enough to protect occupants.
Airbag deployment is often key to preventing and minimizing the effects of a crash. But, injuries from defect airbags can cause serious injuries.
The Law Offices of James S. Rogers has secured settlements for individuals that have suffered serious spinal cord injuries, blindness and death.
Jeep Fires and Fuel Tank Replacement Fires
Chrysler, maker of Jeep, in 2013 and 2014 recalled 1.5 million vehicles because of the risk that the gas tank could explode in a rear-end accident. For the vehicles in question, the gas tank hangs below the rear bumper, exposing it to the risk upon impact.
As of March 2015, the government estimates deaths from deadly fires in jeeps is upwards of 50 people.
Tests have shown that the dangers are prevalent in 1993-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberties.
Tire Failure/Tread Separation/Aging
Old tires pose a significant risk, regardless of their tread condition, to consumer safety and put individuals at risk of serious injury or death. But many consumers do not know how to determine the age of the tires they purchase, and many businesses do not actively disclose the age of a tire.
The Law Offices of James S. Rogers represented Diana Hubner in a wrongful death suit after Diana's husband, Clayton, died in 2012 when the tread on the tires of the truck in which he was a passenger separated, causing the driver to lose control of the truck. Just a month and a half before the crash, Diana had the tires inspected and they were cleared as safe to drive. They had safe tread, but the tires were 14 years old. Most manufacturers recommend tires be tossed six years after their manufacturer date.
Consumers should always look for the DOT number on the tire, which tells the week and year they were manufactured, before purchasing.
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning/Keyless Car Models
Many car manufacturers are now offering keyless ignition and entry options for new cars. All that's needed to unlock and start a car is for a fob to be close enough to the car to trigger the locks and ignition.
An unintended consequence of this new system is that while the fob is required to be in the area of the car for the car to start, it's not the same for the car to shut off.
Many fatalities have been reported from individuals driving their keyless car into their enclosed garage, closing the garage door and entering the house without shutting off the car. The car will continue to run until it runs out of gas, often allowing dangerous and potentially deadly levels of carbon monoxide to fill the garage and home.
In Custody Deaths
When a person is in custody they are entitled to adequate medical and mental health care. When a jail or prison ignores the serious medical and mental health needs of an inmate, and an inmate dies, justice requires a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding their death. Working with top investigators and experts who can assess jail conditions and the actions of jail employees and administrators, the attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers have extensive experience in successfully litigating cases against jails, securing just recovery for the families of those who have died while in custody.
Highway Safety/Guardrail Design/Dangerous Roadways/Crosswalks
Accidents are not only caused by driver negligence. Sometimes the roadways are unsafe. States must eliminate hazards and other dangerous conditions that pose a threat to the lives of drivers by constructing sufficient guardrails and median barriers, maintaining clear zones on the shoulders of highways, warning of hazardous conditions by placing signs in the appropriate locations, and clearly defining crosswalks for pedestrians. Governments also have a duty to contract with and utilize reliable contractors and must avoid installing defective equipment like the faulty guardrails produced by Trinity Industries and installed on highways across the country that have been linked to dozens of accidents, some of which were fatal. The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers employ top engineering, safety, and human factors experts in the field when handling these type of cases. As a result of our work, not only have victims received justice, but governmental entities have made roadways safer for the general public.
Department of Corrections (DOC) Inadequate Supervision
The Department of Corrections (DOC) plays an essential role in protecting the public from those persons who have been convicted of a crime. In addition to determining when an individual should be released from jail or prison, DOC is also responsible for supervising certain offenders following their release. Oftentimes those persons have committed violent crimes or sexual offenses. When DOC fails to adequately supervise these offenders, they are able to reoffend and victimize more members of the public. The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers have experience pursuing justice for victims of inadequately supervised offenders.
As the eyes and ears monitoring our youth, school staff are often the first line of defense against situations that might put a student or others at risk. School employees have a responsibility to report potentially volatile or dangerous information to the proper authorities. When a preventable situation results in personal harm, the school and its employees may be liable. The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers are experienced in school liability and can help settle claims filed against government entities.
Harmful Mold in Hospitals
Hospitals often see patients who are at their most vulnerable, and their operating rooms should be free of invasive mold that can harm patients. We trust that our hospitals are going to make us healthy, not make us sick. Aspergillus is a type of mold that most people are exposed to everyday. It can be found on dead leaves, compost piles, vegetable matter, grain, and foods. In those with weakened immune systems, this mold can be dangerous. Symptoms caused by aspergillus can be anything from fever and chest pain, to kidney or liver failure. For those who are already hospitalized, especially children, exposure to aspergillus can be deadly.
While most infant deliveries are joyful events, occasionally complications can occur and compromise infant safety. If the doctors administering care are found to be responsible, either for failing to diagnose a prenatal condition or by prescribing inappropriate and harmful medication, they may be liable for damages. The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers can help families who have endured injury and hardship due to obstetric negligence.
Patients trust the medical community and its extensive database of knowledge to correctly diagnose the symptoms for which they seek care. Whether a physician diagnoses a condition late, incorrectly or not at all, they may be found negligent and liable for damages. The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers have successfully brought and won multiple cases of failed diagnosis.
Prescription Medication and Drug Errors
Correctly and carefully administering prescription medication is a major component of modern healthcare, and patients trust their doctors to know what is safe and appropriate for them to ingest. When drugs are mislabeled, inaccurately dosed, combined with conflicting medications, or incorrectly prescribed, the results can be harmful or even fatal. The attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers have experience representing those harmed by prescription drug errors.
Hospital Malpractice (including failure to prevent falls)
Hospitals are expected to be places of healing and recovery. When injuries occur on premises and the hospital is found responsible, they may be liable for damages. Whether as a result of staff error or an unsafe environment, the attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers are experienced in pursuing cases for patients injured on hospital property.
Surgical Malpractice
A certain amount of inherent risk is present in every surgical operation, but when harm occurs outside the realm of informed consent, the doctor and/or hospital may be liable. Incompetence, fatigue, neglect or miscommunication are all possible causes of surgical error, and the attorneys at the Law Offices of James S. Rogers are experienced in investigating surgical malpractice.

IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST: LET DELTA VOICES BE HEARD
In the gathering dusk of a hot evening in August, 2009, a 570-foot New Zealand freighter carrying rice and lumber from Stockton's Port tried to make a close turn to starboard past Bradford Island in the Delta. It didn't work. The San Joaquin River channel is only 600 feet wide at that point; there's no room for mistakes. The ship temporarily "lost steering" and plowed bow first into the levee.
Not to worry. With the assistance of a nearby tugboat, the freighter backed out and proceeded on to the Bay and ocean – once it had been inspected by the Coast Guard and found to be undamaged.
No one looked back at the levee or even reported the impact. Coast Guard entries from that day say that the ship "ran aground."
The morning after. (Photo by Mike Warren)
The next morning, residents on Bradford woke up to find their island in immediate danger of flooding. The levee was literally falling into the river with cracks opening up before their eyes. A section 150 feet long had been washed out.
I was on Bradford Island last week to talk to the people who rose to the emergency and saved the island that day. They are the unsung heroes of the local reclamation district who maintain levees critical to California's water supply, not to mention those lining an international shipping channel. It may come as a surprise – certainly it did to me – that levees on a deep water shipping channel are maintained by residents. And it's a shock to realize concern is so limited that the Coast Guard didn't even bother to check out or report the damage.
Bradford is a private island reached by ferry at the end of a levee road only five miles from the urban rim in Contra Costa County. About 2200 acres in size, it stands close to the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers. Fresh water bubbles up through the ground producing lush pasture land that once grew corn. Now, Karen and Smith Cunningham maintain a cattle ranch there, sharing the island with about 50 other, mostly seasonal, residents.
Karen met me at the ferry and took me on a tour across the ranch, through Johnson grass so high and dense it slapped the pickup like rubber flippers in a car wash. Our windows were down and in a flash, the cabin of the truck was filled with hundreds of lady bugs. Noticing a cattle fence standing open, Karen went in search of animals that might have wandered off and fallen into one of the many bogs on the island. We didn't find any, but we did find her husband Smith Cunningham and fellow resident, Mike Warren.
As Smith Cunningham talked..
Cunningham led the fight last year to save the levee.
"There's no doubt about it. This man saved us," said Warren, gesturing to Smith. "He called people and they came out here immediately. If we had sat around waiting for the engineers, the water resource people, whatever…..the levee was just going further and further into the water, with new cracks coming fast and furious. It had gone on all night this way and we didn't even know it was happening because nobody had the courtesy to tell us."
....Another freighter passed on its way to Stockton Port
Project director for local Reclamation District 2059, Cunningham reported the damage to the Coast Guard (which still called the incident a "soft landing"). Then he got to work on emergency repairs.
"I didn't wait to go through all the procedures," said Cunningham. "I was doing the mumbo-jumbo with politics (procedures) at the same time, but my purpose was to save the levee and you have to have some common sense about that."
Within hours, contractors with dozens of trucks and bull dozers were working around the clock to stabilize the levee. It took them three days at a total cost of $800,000, which the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) paid.
"The DWR told me, 'Well, you did the right thing. Thank you. You saved us $50 million.'"
Actually, the loss of the island could have cost the public a great deal more. A flood on Bradford could lead to a shutdown of the State water supply because of the island's strategic position vis-a-vis water pumps in Tracy. (Bradford is one of eight western Delta islands that, if flooded, could draw salt water toward the pumps.)
Mt. Diablo behind Bradford Island
This story about Bradford is sadly illustrative of a larger phenomena that affects everyone in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta. California relies on local people to maintain levees that are critical to our water supply, yet those same people are all but invisible to State officials planning a huge – and expensive – project to divert water from upriver near Sacramento. We will get our first view of the Bay Delta Conservation Plan (BDCP) next month in a preliminary draft release, but several things have been clear about this plan for at least a year.
One, it has little or no input from Delta people or their elected representatives in the five county region – Sacramento, Stockton, Contra Costa County, Yolo and Sonoma. Thirteen members of Congress and the State Legislature from those counties sent a protest letter last month which said in part "The Delta community has long been told….they will be involved in decision–making about the future of their own communities, even though they have been mostly excluded to date."
"This most recent exclusion (referring to reports of closed-door meetings of BDCP principals) only serves to frustrate and anger those in the Delta community who are genuinely interested in working constructively with the state and federal agencies…" the letter said.
Another thing that's clear about this plan is that it aims to divert as much water as possible from upriver of the Delta, through tunnels so big they could suck out 80 percent of the Sacramento River at peak operation, which BDCP defenders say would ONLY be used during periods of high water.
"Trust us," is a commonly heard refrain.
"Not on your life," reply 186 Delta owners, including the Cunninghams, who have joined legal action to keep State officials off their property, officials who want to conduct tests for environmental reports.
Meanwhile, a casualty of the focus on a future peripheral canal is levee maintenance.
Local engineers who have maintained the levees for decades say they can bring them up to snuff for a yearly State investment of about $100 million for eight years.
Outside authorities estimate a 2 to 4 billion dollar price tag, with some recommending that a large swath of the south and central Delta be abandoned to the floods without levee upgrades. (These people, of course, want the peripheral canal).
As for the people of California, if they knew what was going on in the water wars, they would be saying loud and clear, "Give the locals a voice. Right or wrong, they should at least be heard. Their input might save the State some money, not to mention a shipping channel or two."

Q: Change MAC PERMANENTLY(for wlan0) I need to change my MAC permanently for wlan0 interface. Macchanger is a pretty good variant but after rebooting wifi card old MAC comes back. So, I don't like to use it.
I found one good solution for changing MAC permanently (but for eth0). Here it is: we open the file /etc/network/interfaces and add two lines:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
      hwaddress ether NEW_MAC

I've tried to do like this for wlan0 interface but it doesn't work that way.
What I'm doing wrong?

A: Create a file called "changeMAC.sh" in /home/yourUser/ [Replacing yourUser accordingly]
In the file, paste this code:
#!/bin/sh
service network-manager stop
ifconfig wlan0 down
# Change to whatever MAC you want
ifconfig wlan0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
ifconfig wlan0 up
service network-manager start

Then, in terminal (Ctrl+alt+t), run
sudo chmod +x /home/yourUser/changeMAC.sh [Again, replacing yourUser accordingly]
Then run sudo nano /etc/rc.local
At the bottom, add the line sudo /home/yourUser/changeMAC.sh [You know the drill, replace yourUser...]
Exit nano with Ctrl+x, pressing y to write changes to disk.
Finally, run sudo shutdown -r now

The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage, today announced that the Government of Canada has provided funding in the amount of $87,973 for the Manitoba Children's Hospital Indigenous Language Program.
For this project, Canadian Heritage is partnering with Prince's Charities Canada (PCC), which will produce five illustrated children's books in Cree, Ojibwe, Oji-Cree and Inuktitut, along with English and phonetics. The stories will focus on themes of childhood development and health care. The books will also be recorded in each of the four Indigenous languages.
Along with the participation of the Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba, PCC is working with SayITFirst, the First Nations University of Canada and the Saskatchewan Indian Cultural Centre, on this new project.
"There is no relationship more important to our government than the one with Indigenous Peoples. We know that the preservation, revitalization, and promotion of Indigenous languages is a vital part of the process of reconciliation. Our government took an important step forward in announcing $89.9 million over three years toward this objective, but there is more to do. This great partnership will empower young patients to engage with their language and culture while encouraging healing through the act of storytelling," states The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Canadian Heritage.
Today's announcement is part of the federal government's effort to ensure the preservation, revitalization and promotion of First Nations, Inuit and Métis languages. This initiative is funded through the Department of Canadian Heritage's Aboriginal Languages Initiative, which supports community-based language projects that contribute to the revitalization and preservation of Indigenous languages and increase their use in community settings.
Through Budget 2017, the Government is investing $89.9 million over the next three years to preserve, protect and revitalize Indigenous languages and cultures.
Canadian Heritage is responsible for Indigenous languages. The Aboriginal Peoples' Program (APP) focuses primarily on the preservation and revitalization of Indigenous languages and cultures, strengthening Indigenous cultural identity, and increasing Indigenous participation in Canadian Society.
The Aboriginal Languages Initiative (ALI), a funding component of the APP, supports the preservation and revitalization of Indigenous languages through community-based projects and activities that range from the development of printed resources in an Indigenous language to language classes, to the development of language preservation strategies.
Since 2016–2017, with budget increase announced by the federal government to support Indigenous languages, ALI is now able to provide up to $19.5 million annually to projects.
In 2016–2017, ALI also funded PCC for a similar book project in Saskatchewan with the collaboration of SayItFirst. The book series was produced in three varieties of Cree, English, and phonetics.
