That meant I spent my time doing other things – crafting, playing outside, hanging out with friends, playing guitar, even reading and drawing. That was just normal. And the internet? That wasn't even around yet!   But then, when I was in 4th grade, at around 11 years old, something big happened – we got a TV! And wow, that changed everything.   Before, I was always busy doing things. But once we had a TV, I started spending more and more time glued to the screen. We didn't even have that many channels, but once I sat down – maybe just to watch the news with my dad – I couldn't stop. It was like a trap.   Nowadays, people talk about social media addiction, but back then, TV was already a problem! I found myself watching more and more, sleeping less, and wasting hours flipping through channels. During the week, I was fine – I had school, homework, guitar lessons, and activities that kept me busy. But on Friday and Saturday evenings, it was the worst. Instead of going to bed early, I'd stay up watching TV until I was completely exhausted.   Even today, moving images still have a hypnotic effect on me. If my kids are watching a bedtime story on TV, I find myself sitting down with them! Maybe it's just an excuse to take a break.

Just drop me an email!  https://www.swiss-german-online.com/contact-us.html    „Always on the Move – The Women in My Family“  In today's podcast, we're diving into the stories of three incredible women in my family – all of them always on the move, always active, never sitting still! 1️⃣ My Grandmother – The Baker in Zurich Let's start with my grandmother, who grew up in the countryside but moved to Zurich to work in a bakery. Life wasn't easy – it was tough, demanding, and non-stop! She was always on the move, balancing so many responsibilities: Serving customers with a smile, no matter how busy it got. Handling logistics – making sure everything ran smoothly. Managing the finances – keeping the business afloat. Working with employees – organizing shifts, solving problems. Baking, selling, and keeping everyone happy! She was constantly on her feet, always active, and she never slowed down – not at work, and not even in her free time. She loved walking around Zurich and exploring the mountains. She was truly always on the move. 2️⃣ My Mother – The Social Organizer The second woman we'll talk about is my mother, who was just as active! She worked in different organizations, juggling responsibilities while raising three kids. But that didn't slow her down – she was always on the go, constantly doing something: Attending and organizing social events – always the life of the party. Meeting new people and building connections. Taking courses and learning new things – she never stopped growing. Managing the household while staying active and positive. Just like my grandmother, she never sat still, and she thrived on being busy. She was, and still is, always on the move. 3️⃣ Me – Following in Their Footsteps And finally, there's me. I guess I inherited this restless energy from my grandmother and my mother because I'm always on the go too! I love: Being active – whether it's work, hobbies, or social events. Meeting people, teaching, organizing lessons – never a dull moment! Exploring new places and new ideas – staying curious and adventurous. But unlike them, I have my husband who is the total opposite. He's the one who loves to slow things down, take it easy, and relax. And honestly? I'm grateful for that. He reminds me to pause, breathe, and enjoy life. What About You? What about you? Are you always on the move, like me and the women in my family? Or are you more like my husband – taking life one relaxed moment at a time?

The first terrorist attack to be broadcast live around the world happened in 1972, on September the 5th, at the Munich Olympics. A group of Palestinian gunmen took 11 members of the Israeli team hostage, and all of those ended up dead. In this episode, Jason speaks to Swiss-German director Tim Fehlbaum, and cast including an excellent Peter Saarsgard, about September 5, a film that takes us back to those events through the eyes of the sports journalists who brought the news to the world.Plus, a very different film, made by a couple of friends who are a kind of Swedish Hamish and Andy, comedy duo Filip Hammar and Fredrik Wikingsson. Their film, The Last Journey, is about Filip's ageing father Lars, a former French high school teacher who has become pessimistic about his life and his frail body. Filip decides his father needs an intervention, and with Fredrik in tow, they hire an old Renault and takes Lars south for a road trip to France, a country his father has always associated with summer holidays, family and freedom.

For us, it's constant – music, audiobooks, or podcasts. It's part of our everyday life! For me, listening to audiobooks is my escape. I love diving into new worlds and unwinding through stories. From geopolitics to nutrition, psychology, and even spirituality, I enjoy staying updated on everything happening in the world. Meanwhile, my daughter listens almost exclusively to music – singing and dancing are her passion. And my boys? Patrick, for instance, loves listening to classical music, especially when studying, but they also enjoy podcasts. We're a slightly crazy family – always surrounded by sound. And when someone visits, I turn it all off to connect with them or even talk about what they're listening to. Sure, it can get loud, but that's what makes our home lively!

Overview In this episode we will continue looking at basic filters. Then we will start looking at the feature that makes jq very powerful, the ability to transform JSON from one form to another. In essence we can read and parse JSON and then construct an alternative form. More basic filters Array/String Slice: .[:] This filter allows parts of JSON arrays or strings to be extracted. The first number is the index of the elements of the array or string, starting from zero. The second number is an ending index, but it means "up to but not including". If the first index is omitted it refers to the start of the string or array. If the second index is blank it refers to the end of the string or array. This example shows using an array and extracting part of it: $ x="[$(seq -s, 1 10)]" $ echo "$x" [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10] $ echo "$x" | jq -c '.[3:6]' [4,5,6] Here we use the seq command to generate the numbers 1-10 separated by commas in a JSON array. Feeding this to jq on its standard input with the slice request '.[3:6]' results in a sub-array from element 3 (containing value 4), up to but not including element 6 (containing 7). Note that using the '-c' option generates compact output, as we discussed in the last episode. For a string, the idea is similar, as in: $ echo '"Hacker Public Radio"' | jq '.[7:10]' "Pub" Notice that we provide the JSON string quotes inside single quotes following echo. The filter '.[7:10]' starts from element 7 (letter "P") up to but not including element 10 (letter "l"). Both of the numbers may be negative, meaning that they are offsets from the end of the array or string. So, using '.[-7:-4]' in the array example gives the same result as '.[3:6]', as do '.[3:-4]' and '.[-7:6]'. This example uses the x variable created earlier: $ for f in '.[-7:-4]' '.[3:6]' '.[3:-4]' '.[-7:6]'; do > echo "$x" | jq -c "$f" > done [4,5,6] [4,5,6] [4,5,6] [4,5,6] Similarly, using '.[-12:-9]' gives the same result as '.[7:10]' when used with the string. $ echo '"Hacker Public Radio"' | jq '.[-12:-9]' "Pub" As a point of interest, I wrote a little Bash loop to show the positive and negative offsets of the characters in the test string - just to help me visualise them. See the footnote1 for details. Finally, here is how to get the last character of the example string using positive and negative offsets: $ echo '"Hacker Public Radio"' | jq '.[18:]' "o" $ echo '"Hacker Public Radio"' | jq '.[-1:]' "o" Array/Object Value Iterator: .[] This filter generates values from iterating through an array or an object. It is similar to the .[index] syntax we have already seen, but it returns all of the array elements: $ arr='["Kohinoor","plastered","downloadable"]' $ echo "$arr" | jq '.[]' "Kohinoor" "plastered" "downloadable" The strings in the array are returned separately, not as an array. This is because this is an iterator, and its output can be linked to other filters. It can also be used to iterate over values in an object: $ obj='{"name": "Hacker Public Radio", "type": "Podcast"}' $ echo "$obj" | jq '.[]' "Hacker Public Radio" "Podcast" This iterator does not work on other data types, just arrays and objects. An alternative iterator .[]? exists which ignores errors: $ echo "true" | jq '.[]' jq: error (at :1): Cannot iterate over boolean (true) Ignoring errors: $ echo "true" | jq '.[]?' Using multiple filters There are two operators that can be placed between filters to combine their effects: the comma (',') and the pipe ('|'). Comma operator The comma (',') operator allows you to chain together multiple filters. As we already know, the jq program feeds the input it receives on standard input or from a file into whatever filter it is given. So far we have only seen a single filter being used. With the comma operator the input to jq is fed to all of the filters separated by commas in left to right order. The result is a concatenation of the output of all of these filters. For example, if we take the output from the HPR stats page which was mentioned in part 1 of this series of shows, and store it in a file called stats.json we can view two separate parts of the JSON like this: $ curl -s https://hub.hackerpublicradio.org/stats.json -O $ jq '.shows , .queue' stats.json { "total": 4756, "twat": 300, "hpr": 4456, "duration": 7640311, "human_duration": "0 Years, 2 months, 29 days, 10 hours, 18 minutes and 31 seconds" } { "number_future_hosts": 6, "number_future_shows": 18, "unprocessed_comments": 0, "submitted_shows": 0, "shows_in_workflow": 51, "reserve": 20 } This applies the filter .shows (an object identifier-index filter, see part 2) which returns the contents of the object with that name, then it applies filter .queue which returns the relevant JSON object. Pipe operator The pipe ('|') operator combines filters by feeding the output of the first (left-most) filter of a pair into the second (right-most) filter of a pair. This is analogous to the way the same symbol works in the Unix shell. For example, if we extract the 'shows' object from stats.json, we can then extract the value of the total' key' as follows: $ jq '.shows | .total' stats.json 4756 Interestingly, chaining two object identifier-index filters gives the same output: $ jq '.shows.total' stats.json 4756 (Note: to answer the question in the audio, the two filters shown can also be written as '.shows .total' with intervening spaces.) We will see the pipe operator being used in many instances in upcoming episodes. Parentheses It is possible to use parentheses in filter expressions in a similar way to using them in arithmetic, where they group parts together and can change the normal order of operations. They can be used in other contexts too. The example is a simple arithmetic one: $ jq '.shows.total + 2 / 2' stats.json 4757 $ jq '(.shows.total + 2) / 2' stats.json 2379 Examples Finding country data #1 Here we are using a file called countries.json obtained from the GitHub project listed below. This file is around 39,000 lines long so it is not being distributed with the show. However, it's quite interesting and you are encouraged to grab a copy and experiment with it. I will show ways in which the structure can be examined and reported with jq in a later show, but for now I will show an example of extracting data: $ jq '.[42] | .name.common , .capital.[]' countries.json "Switzerland" "Bern" The file contains an array of country objects; the one with index 42 is Switzerland. The name of the country is in an object called "name", with the common name in a keyed field called "common", thus the filter .name.common. In this country object is an object called "capital" holding an array containing the name (or names) of the capital city (or cities). The filter .capital.[] obtains and displays the contents of the array. Note that we used a comma operator between the filters. Finding country data #2 Another search of the countries.json file, this time looking at the languages spoken. There is an object called "languages" which contains abbreviated language names as keys and full names as the values: $ jq '.[42] | .name.common , .capital.[] , .languages' countries.json "Switzerland" "Bern" { "fra": "French", "gsw": "Swiss German", "ita": "Italian", "roh": "Romansh" } Using the filter .languages we get the whole object, however, using the iterator .[] we get just the values. $ jq '.[42] | .name.common , .capital.[] , .languages.[]' countries.json "Switzerland" "Bern" "French" "Swiss German" "Italian" "Romansh" This has some shortcomings, we need the construction capabilities of jq to generate more meaningful output. Next episode In the next episode we will look at construction - how new JSON output data can be generated from input data.

The example is a simple arithmetic one: $ jq '.shows.total + 2 / 2' stats.json 4757 $ jq '(.shows.total + 2) / 2' stats.json 2379 Examples Finding country data #1 Here we are using a file called countries.json obtained from the GitHub project listed below. This file is around 39,000 lines long so it is not being distributed with the show. However, it's quite interesting and you are encouraged to grab a copy and experiment with it. I will show ways in which the structure can be examined and reported with jq in a later show, but for now I will show an example of extracting data: $ jq '.[42] | .name.common , .capital.[]' countries.json "Switzerland" "Bern" The file contains an array of country objects; the one with index 42 is Switzerland. The name of the country is in an object called "name", with the common name in a keyed field called "common", thus the filter .name.common. In this country object is an object called "capital" holding an array containing the name (or names) of the capital city (or cities). The filter .capital.[] obtains and displays the contents of the array. Note that we used a comma operator between the filters. Finding country data #2 Another search of the countries.json file, this time looking at the languages spoken. There is an object called "languages" which contains abbreviated language names as keys and full names as the values: $ jq '.[42] | .name.common , .capital.[] , .languages' countries.json "Switzerland" "Bern" { "fra": "French", "gsw": "Swiss German", "ita": "Italian", "roh": "Romansh" } Using the filter .languages we get the whole object, however, using the iterator .[] we get just the values. $ jq '.[42] | .name.common , .capital.[] , .languages.[]' countries.json "Switzerland" "Bern" "French" "Swiss German" "Italian" "Romansh" This has some shortcomings, we need the construction capabilities of jq to generate more meaningful output. Next episode In the next episode we will look at construction - how new JSON output data can be generated from input data.

The Amish (/ˈɑːmɪʃ/; Pennsylvania German: Amisch; German: Amische), formally the Old Order Amish, are a group of traditionalist Anabaptist Christian church fellowships with Swiss German and Alsatian origins.[2] They are closely related to Mennonite churches, a separate Anabaptist denomination.[3] The Amish are known for simple living, plain dress, Christian pacifism, and slowness to adopt many conveniences of modern technology, with a view neither to interrupt family time, nor replace face-to-face conversations whenever possible, and a view to maintain self-sufficiency. The Amish value rural life, manual labor, humility and Gelassenheit (submission to God's will).
