Hot answers tagged tcsh
Use a heredoc: ssh host.domain.com /bin/bash << EOF big ugly commands lots of them EOF
Use key-based logins, not password-based. Then you can add a (list of) "forced command(s)" to your public ssh key (in the "options" field in case of SSH1) which is installed on the server (in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file for SSH1, ~/.ssh2/authorization for SSH2). Make your forced command so that your desired shell is called... More: You can associate at ...
There is a case to be made that this behavior makes more sense (and I believe it's used by rsync, even on GNU/Linux). Consider the following case: mydir |-.fileA |-fileB The the semantics of these three specifiers are all different: cp -r mydir dest/ # creates dest/mydir, containing both files cp -r mydir/ dest/ # copies both files ...
From: man stty: NAME stty - change and print terminal line settings -- snip erase CHAR CHAR will erase the last character typed This means that ^H (Ctrl-H) will be configured as control sequence to eliminate the last typed character.
A straight alias isn't going to work for this application. Something like this would come close, except what you would get is the output of the grep, not the jar filename: alias targrep="find . -name '*.jar' -exec jar tvf {} \; | grep" targrep someterm To get the filename, you should switch to using a function instead of an alias so that you have more ...
I don't believe this is possible, at least with openssh-based systems. If you have the ability, a better solution might be to sftp up a shell-script file, and then execute it with the method you posted. It would have the advantage of minimizing the amount of escaping needed, but would leave a file behind that would have to be removed (perhaps as the last ...
I would suggest changing both sticky-world-write and just regular sticky (its only purpose is world-write, right? usually at least) to the same value, namely ...37;44 which is white on a blue background. Much less annoying than the typical black on yellow which always calls for your attention and there is nothing suspicious going on. Much less annoyed now ...
I take it that this is output from ls, rather than tab-completion of shells? (I know at least one shell which can colourise shell tab-completions but you don't say, so I'll assume ls). Use $LS_COLORS, often initialised via the dircolors(1) command. dircolors -p to see the defaults, take the output from the two systems and diff. Drop the desired config ...
Without manually deleting the '/' appended in a default installation? Unfortunately not as stated on Apple's Darwin man page for cp is "If the source_file ends in a /, the contents of the directory are copied rather than the directory itself." So it appears it's part of the design of Darwin's cp. It is however possible to unset the addsuffix shell variable ...
You can use printf and single quotes to avoid variable expansion: printf '$' > myfile
You'll need to quote it: bash -c 'for i in 1 2 3 ; do echo $i ; done' In your example, the only command bash is running is "for" on its own.
This might works for you too not sure for (t)csh shell history -w OR rm .bash_history
Not 100% sure if HISTSIZE variable exists in (t)csh, but it might. So try with setenv HISTSIZE 0 rm -f /root/.history And see if it helps.
This command: rm /root/.history should do what you're after, though it may be getting written back out when you logout. If you simply want history never stored, you could do this: echo > /root/.history chflags schg /root/.history which empties the file then sets it immutable.
It means that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not set in your env. Try setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH .
For tcsh or csh: set PATH = (. /usr/local/lib/play-1.1 $PATH)
sh: unset COLUMNS LINES; export TERM=xterm csh: unsetenv COLUMNS LINES; setenv TERM xterm Terminals which have dynamic size or font or resolution are the norm, not the exception. When that became the case, Unix put this information into the kernel tty attributes, and deprecated $COLUMNS, $LINES, and the termcap/terminfo dimension data. You can see the ...
getent passwd $LOGNAME | awk -F ":" '{print $5}' should be easier. The real name is called 'gecos'
That's just the GECOS field from the password file, so you could get it directly from there if you wanted to: grep -w $LOGNAME /etc/passwd|cut -f5 -d: If someone were using the GECOS field to store more than the full name, eg an office telephone number as well (as is permitted, but is no longer common), you'd need to run it through another cut to get only ...
How can I define a variable in a TCSH script that will not be exported to the process which invoked it?
Shell variables can be set via the set command in (t)csh. set variable=value
Because tcsh needs a CR character at the end of the line to execute the command, which is missing in your first example. Just end every line in a shell script with the enter key to be on the safe side.
In tcsh setting autolist will cause tab completion to show a menu of options when the completion choice is ambiguous instead of just beeping at you and waiting for more input until an unambiguous completion is possible. From the tcsh man page: autolist (+) If set, possibilities are listed after an ambiguous completion. If set to `ambiguous', ...
You can try following, which should work in normal (t)csh. I do not know if it also works in the .(t)cshrc: #!/bin/csh set DUS = ( $_ ) #DUS: Dollar UnderScore set DNU = $0:q #DNU: Dollar NUll if (( $#DUS > 1 )) then if ("${DUS[1]}" == 'source' || "$DNU:t" == 'tcsh' || "$DNU:t" == 'csh') then set DNU = ${DUS[2]:q} endif endif echo 'Your script ...
A little bit of grepping gives me what I want. There is one thing I know for sure : the basename of the file (not the whole path). In my case, source_me.tcsh. So we can query lsof for the current shell PID and grep the absolute path. $$ gives you the PID. /usr/sbin/lsof +p $$ | grep -oE /.\*source_me.tcsh

Latest Monkey Reference Libraries
The Peruvian Spider Monkey (Ateles chamek), known also as the Black-Faced Black Spider Monkey, is a species of spider monkey that resides not only in Peru, but also in Bolivia and Brazil. At 2 feet long, they are rather large among the species of monkey, and their strong, prehensile tails can be up to 3 feet long. Unlike many other species of monkey, they have only a vestigial thumb, an adaptation which enables them to travel utilizing brachiation. The Peruvian Spider Monkeys live in groups...
Brown Spider Monkeys have long and thin limbs with their forelimbs being longer than their hind limbs. They also have a distinctive 75 centimeter long flexible and thin prehensile tail which at times acts like a fifth limb. The tip is hairless with ridged skin for better grip. All of these features of their body make it possible for them to climb trees and high elevations, hang and swing from one tree to another without having to lower themselves to the ground frequently. Their hands are...
The Northern Muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) is an endangered muriqui, meaning woolly spider monkey, species that is endemic to Brazil. It is rare among primates in that it shows egaliterian social relationships. It can be found in the Atlantic forest region of the Brazilian states of Espirito Santo, Minas Gerais, Bahia, and Rio de Janeiro. Muriquis are the biggest species of New World monkeys. The northern muriqui can grow up to 4.3 feet tall. This species feeds mostly on leaves and twigs,...
The Panamanian night monkey (Aotus zonalis), also known as the Chocoan night monkey, is a species of night monkey that can be found in Panama and Chocó in Colombia and it is thought to be found in Costa Rica, although this cannot be confirmed. This species prefers to reside many habitats including coffee plantations and secondary forests. Although it is classified as a distinct species, it is thought that this monkey may be a subspecies of the gray-bellied night monkey. The Panamanian...
The white-headed Capuchin (Cebus capucinus) is a New World monkey that is native to Central America, as well as the far northwestern area of South America. It is also known as the white-faced capuchin and the white-throated capuchin. Its Central American range includes Honduras, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panama. Reports have shown that it may occur in southern Belize and eastern Guatemala, but these reports have not been confirmed. Its South American range is limited to the northwestern area...

Ricki L. Vanetesse IT SpecialistDefense Information Systems Agency
The work: Beefing up security standards for the Defense Department's computer networks.
The impact: In close collaboration with industry and DOD organizations, Vanetesse developed baseline security settings that resulted in a group of solutions that will ultimately enhance national security.
The nuts and bolts: Vanetesse provided technical expertise and leadership for an Operating System Security Requirements Guide and various security technical implementation guides. Her efforts enabled DOD's Joint Consensus Working Group to partner with Microsoft during the Windows 7 beta release cycle and influence development of some default security settings, thus making Windows 7 more secure for all users and faster to deploy to warfighters.

Yes it is Diggory Venn. I got to it just in time as it has now been moved to the Dyson Factory HQ in Malmesbury and it is no longer on public display!!!
Gotcha'...Herb'...yes.. I gather that a large collection over many years can be a sought after item.../...I amassed a large stack once...but chucked em'....oh well !.../..I will save my last one ever though.........All the best from Dave.
Grey Heron on the rooftops near my home sussing out a tasty meal in one of the garden ponds!!!
Thanks quatreulls, it was so long ago I'd forgotten all about it!!!
Hehe.... I used to start mine usually by pushing.........
I couldn't afford a new battery.....
A Tenerife sunset!
See previous photo.
Photo taken by my better half from their villa in Golf Del Sur! Mount Teide is a volcano on Tenerife in the Canary Islands. It is 3,718 metres (12,198 ft) high which is the highest point in Spain and the highest point above sea level of the islands in the Atlantic. At 7,500 ft from its base on the ocean floor it is the third highest volcano on a volcanic ocean island in the world after Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa in Hawaii. Its elevation makes Tenerife the tenth highest island in the world. It remains active and its last eruption occurred in 1909.
I recall reading that the ravens were taken to a safe place during the "Bird flu" period, so they wouldn't get in contact with wild birds. We all know what will happen to the kingdom if they disappear...
Thanks for looking, Dave. Every family has its history I guess and I could so easily have gone to the USA with mum in 1946. Good job I didn't 'cos I'd probably have copped VietNam! Good job Grandad stopped us going! Yeah lots of our family members in Ravensden church and Sharnbrook and Elstow churches too! Also several old school chums in Sharnbrook church!!! If you GE Ravensden and go up the High Street past the Horse & Jockey pub to the end you'll find the former Police House where the family lived during the war on the left. It has been completely rebuilt but has retained some of the old brickwork and the old police stone plaque.

The two guys sitting next to me on the plane disrupted my peace and quiet by chattering away like old friends. I couldn't open up my laptop until we "reached a comfortable cruising altitude of 10,000 feet" so I was stuck listening to them even though I really didn't want to.
Turns out the first guy was creating new video technology application and the second guy had been in the video rental and installation business for 30 years so they had a lot to talk about. Basically their conversational ping-pong went something like this:
Guy One: "We're going to readjust the framitz on the whosie-whatser which will double our resolution. That will allow the gesungie to process twice as much data in half the time."
Guy Two: "That'll never work. I used to own 200 framiwitzers. We tried it every different way but it was a complete waste of time."
Guy One: "Sure but that was because your framiwitzers were analog. Now that they're digital we can push the compression of the schmutzer until they re-sync."
Guy Two: "No way. Schmutzers are specifically designed to slow down the render rate. We tried to increase the compression but it never worked."
Mercifully that was about the moment that I heard the little bell ding over the PA and was able to open my laptop and crank up some Led Zeppelin.
When I disrupted the music and pulled my headphones off a few hours later to go the bathroom the two of them were still at it. Guy One was explaining some new technological advancement he was testing and Guy Two was insisting that it he'd already tried it and that it would never work.
It finally dawned on me that Guy One was not from the video industry. Unlike his more experienced seatmate, he came to the business with fresh views and fresh ideas. He was bright-eyed and bushytailed and full of excitement about all the possibilities. On the other hand, Guy Two was an industry lifer who had seen and heard it all. He knew everything there was to know about each idea and knew for certain that none of it would ever work.
Mark Zuckerberg, the guy who created Facebook and disrupted social media forever, did not come from the college yearbook business or the communication business. Elon Musk, the brains behind Tesla, did not come from the auto industry. Pierre Omidyar, Ebay's originator, did not come from the auction business.
Need more? Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia, the designers of Airbnb, the online room rental service that as of spring 2014 booked more room nights than Hilton Hotels, had 10 million guests and 550,000 properties listed worldwide and a $10B valuation —making it worth more than industry players Wyndham and Hyatt, did not come from the hotel business. They were just two guys who wanted to rent out their San Francisco loft in order to help cover their rent.
Do you notice a pattern here?
Thanks to the ubiquitousness of the Internet and digital technology, we are seeing businesses disrupted where we never thought possible. Remember classified ads? CraigsList put an end to them. CDs and DVD? iTunes and Netflix drove them into the ground. Maps? MapQuest. Circuit City? Amazon. Pay phones? Cell phones.
The trend that shows no sign of abating is not just the elimination of legacy business models but that the slashing will continue to be done by people who come from outside the industries that they disrupt. Technology is ubiquitous, good ideas can come from anywhere, and those outside the industry don't know what can't be done because they've never done it before.
Back to my flight and the argument between Guy One and Guy Two? It's still going on. Guy Two is disrupted toast. He just doesn't know it yet.Published on October 20th, 2014
The more I write about how critical it is to discover and express both your authentic self and your customers' deepest desires in your brand, the more questions I get. Many are about how one can discover the true self they should be promoting, or how to know exactly what their customers want. Clearly answers to both these questions require a lot more time than an email answer or even blog post offers. But the other frequent request is for a clear example of a brand that is congruent with both its own authentic self and the desires of its clients.
Sure there's a pat list of expected answers including names such as Apple, Porsche, BMW, Panerai, Ralph Lauren, Harley-Davidson, Prius, Las Vegas, and Hermes.
Before I explain, let me issue a prophylactic disclaimer. I'm neither condoning nor condemning O'Reilly's politics in this blog. For the sake of illustrating the concept of true brand value I've gone out of my way to be as agnostic as possible. The point here is not the what, but the how.
Almost a year ago I was a guest on The O'Reilly Factor, coincidentally invited along with my friend and tech/social media genius Peter Shankman, as one of two marketing experts O'Reilly wanted to interview about ESPN's decision not to run a Christmas-themed television commercial for a Catholic children's hospital.
It was O'Reilly's contention that ESPN's refusal to run the spot was a clear example of what he called "America's War on Christmas." Click HERE to watch the interview.
If O'Reilly had actually permitted me to explain why ESPN had disallowed the commercial I would have told him about these three factors:
The funny thing is that O'Reilly, one of the highest paid personalities on television, knows these things better than I do. But explaining them doesn't promote his brand nor engage his audience.
Bill has strategically built an aspirational brand by living the life his viewers wish they could live. Bill sells his brand to disaffected, formerly middle-class general market consumers who are angry that the life they lived is being eroded by rampant technology, increased minority rights, painful economic realities, and encroaching old age. And so O'Reilly brilliantly fabricates crises such as The War on Christmas to empathize with his audience while he first enrages and then placates them by manhandling his guests. Quite simply, O'Reilly beats up his mostly affluent, well dressed, educated, and/or minority guests because his audience wants to but can't.
Simply remove O'Reilly's signature rancor, and there's a lot to learn and emulate from his brand, regardless of what you think of his politics, his practices or his policies.Published on October 12th, 2014
I travel almost every week, but in fact I'm not traveling this week and it's kind of shocking. Last week I was in New York for client meetings and to do a Fox Business correspondent gig in the studio instead of remotely. The week before I was in Massachusetts because my daughter is entering her third year of college. Next week I'm in Las Vegas speaking at a brand management camp. But this week I'm in Miami the whole week.
Figuring out how to hack my travel with tips and techniques has become more than a hobby, it's almost an obsession. In our wedding vows I added to the traditional "better or worse, sickness or health, richer or poorer, only carry-on luggage." I didn't really—but I threatened to.
I was on a flight once and the woman in front of me kept slamming herself against the seat to get it to go back. The reason the seat wouldn't go back is because my knees were there. I didn't have any legroom. She finally called the flight attendant and said, "My seat won't go back." And I said, "The reason your seat won't go back is because my legs are there." The flight attendant said to me, "Sir, you have to move so she can put her seat back." And I said, "OK, where would you like me to put my legs? We can consider the overhead compartment. Other than that I don't really know where they're going to go." I promptly bought a knee defender. That was years ago, but I've never had the nerve to use it. I take it only for emotional support.
If you lean forward and say, "Look I'm almost 6'5". Would you mind not leaning back quite so far?" Most people are pretty nice about it. I'll offer to buy them a drink. But sometimes—especially on European airlines—when the people lean back, I could do dental work on them. I don't put my seat back more than just a little inch, just to take the angle off, unless I turn around and there's a sleeping child curled up in the seat, because I know how aggravating that can be.
I only wear three colors: gray, blue, and black. That way everything I take matches everything else. I always take knit silk ties and pocket squares with me, too. If you change your ties and the tone of your pocket square, it looks like you're wearing a different outfit every day. That's all anyone notices if you're well dressed anyways.
I play the harmonica, so I also take a few harmonicas when I travel. I have found people to play with on the subways of Paris, on the streets on London, and in small towns in Provence. It always gets me invited to places and dinners. It's great. Now if I played the cello, admittedly, it wouldn't be quite as easy. But with the harmonica it's quite easy.
My travel hero is Jack Reacher, a fictional detective in a series of 18 books by author Lee Child. He travels with just an ATM card and a folding toothbrush. When his clothes get dirty he throws them away and he buys new ones. I dig his travel routine. That's my dream. But I would add a harmonica.
I have a collapsible down jacket that folds up into its own pocket. It's essentially—when you smash it all down—the size of two pairs of socks. I take that no matter where I go because even if you're going somewhere warm the airport is going to be freezing or the plane is going to be freezing. Even though I insist on traveling as light as possible, I even carry a down jacket if I'm going to the Caribbean or to Ibiza. It's still jammed into my bag.
I always take button-down shirts because you can always wear them with a suit or you can wear them un-tucked with shorts. You can't really do that with any other kind of shirt.
I am fastidious about packing. I use those little packing cubes and I organize everything. They love me at TSA when I get the random open bag inspection. They open it up and say, "Oh my god. I wish everybody packed like this." Everything's in a little pouch. Everything's all nice and folded—all my cords and my cables. I'm a little psycho, as I said. But I'm OK with that! I accept myself for who I am. Travel is just so easy for me because I know exactly what I'm going to take at all times.
One of the things we're responsible for is marketing Miami tourism. So all my suits have these little palm tree pins on them—every single one—so I'm never out of uniform. But I've noticed that TSA guys or hotel clerks, they always say, "Oh, I like your pin!" At which point I reach into my lapel, unhook it and give it to them. They love them. And I always get an upgrade. With hotels I get a nicer room or with rental cars I get a nicer car. Who knows what—you get something.
I really like Nooly, which is a weather app. It's really cool because it tells you the weather in 5-minute increments. If I'm going for a run, for example, I don't care what the weather is for the next eight hours. I care what the weather is now for the next 45 minutes. And it tells you. WeatherBug has a really cool feature called Spark that tells you if there's lightning anywhere nearby.
The app that I love more than any other app—I use it for travel, but it can be used for everything else—is Evernote combined with a system that I've learned online called thesecretweapon.org, a series of 11 videos that show how to combine David Allen's "Getting Things Done" (GTD) with Evernote as a master "to do" list to manage your inbox and your assignments and your travel and everything else. It is phenomenal. It runs my whole life. It's a real pain in the neck at first but if you fight your way through it and get it set up, it becomes second nature. Like my email box, I have no emails in my email box. As I open one I transfer it to Evernote and tag it.
My dad passed away a few years ago and I took his briefcase and had it refurbished. I only use that bag and my suitcase. That's nice, that I always have his bag with me. It's a Tumi leather briefcase of some sort. It's old. Now they have their own custom zippers and everything. It doesn't even have those. But I sent it back to Tumi and they redid it. In fact the woman called me and said, "You want to spend $300 to redo this bag? You can probably get a new one for a little more." I said, "Nope, that's the one I want." So they fixed it up. They put it on a new handle and some new straps and cleaned it up and it's great.
I take a couple merino wool T-shirts because, believe it or not, they do not itch. They work in all temperatures and they don't stink, so you can wear them more than once. We all like to wear cotton T-shirts but when you sweat in them they get heavy and wet—especially when you run—and you can't dry them after washing, so you've got to find a replacement. Merino wool is unbelievable. At first I was completely skeptical. First of all, I live in Miami—I'm not from a wool-wearing state. I thought it would be itchy and uncomfortable and it's not at all. You can wash it in the sink and it dries quickly.
I always take two pairs of ExOfficio travel underwear and I wash them in the sink every night. They don't absorb moisture because they're made of synthetic materials. But here's the trick: You wring them out as best as you can by hand, then you take a big bath towel and lay it out on the floor—or on the bed if you're a germophobe—and then you lay the clothes on them and roll it up like a burrito. It's a layer of clothing, a layer of towel, a layer of clothing, a layer of towel. Then you lay this big roll on the ground and you jump on it, which transfers a lot of the water that's left from the fabric into the towel. Then you unroll it and you hang the stuff up. It works. My wife laughs at me. My friends laugh at me. You laugh at me. It's ok. I get it. It's stupid. Here you have a guy who runs a company who's traveling around washing his underwear in the sink and then jumping on it. I get it. It's funny. But you know what? I don't care because I'm obsessed and it works.Published on October 5th, 2014
I need three hundred thousand dollars. Come to think of it, maybe I need half a million dollars. I'm not really sure. I just know I have to own Singer Vehicle Design's restored, reimagined, and reborn Porsche 911 and that's about what they cost.
The price is variable because the cars are completely custom. And the $350 – $500,000 is the cost AFTER I deliver a pre-owned cherry 1990 – 1994 air-cooled Porsche model 964 to their California facility for the re-creation. I'll also need 50 or 60 grand to build a climate-controlled garage at home to store my gorgeous new/old 911. And I'll need a little more to pay for the trips back and forth to California to see my car being constructed and the shipping charges to get it home safe and sound. Of course I'd like to drive it cross-country but I can't imagine putting all those miles and wear and tear on my pride and joy. A stone chip in the baby blue and orange Gulf racing livery? OMG, perish the thought.
Come to think of it, half a million won't really be enough. After all, this isn't the kind of car anyone spends their last pennies on—it has to be the kind of purchase that doesn't make a noticeable dent in your disposable income or net worth. The kind of purchase that the people on Forbes' latest Richest People in America list could buy. The kind of buy that folks like Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Russian oligarchs or some random Arab sheik might make on their way back from the store. Heck, if the cars didn't take so long to complete, those buyers would probably snatch up a few in different shades just to suit their moods or their dates' eye color.
So how much are we up to now? Four million? Five? Would that kind of sum in my bank account be enough to justify a Singer in my garage? When would I actually have enough to pull the trigger?
In other words, how much is enough?
The other day I saw a sign that read, "Someone Else Is Happy With Less Than What You Have" and it made me think. We keep reading about the elites and the 1% and the multi-millionaires and the billionaires and what they have and what we don't. And yet, as the sign says, someone else is happy with less than what you have.
When do we stop and look around and take inventory and say, "This is pretty great"? When do we add all of the non-monetary luxuries we enjoy to our list and watch our metaphorical cup metaphorically runneth over? When do we stop linking our list to both the folks who have more than we do and the folks who are happy with less than we have and just stop and smile at what we've got?
I was only 12 when my grandma Mollie died but I remember going to her apartment after elementary school. First she'd serve me a big plate of the special flat cookies she'd bake or the "cheese things without any cheese" (I hated cheese and I guess she figured it was easier to call them that then actually change the recipe) and then I'd tell her about my day. At the time I didn't much care what someone else had as much as how quickly they'd run the 50-yard dash or how far they'd thrown the softball (always faster and further than I had, by the way).
Mollie's answer? "Don't compare."
My grandmother didn't tell me that "someone else is happy with less than what you have," nor did she lecture me about the kid who couldn't run because he had no shoes or the kid who couldn't throw because he had no arms. "Don't compare" was her simple admonishment and advice that has served me well in the 43 years since I last heard her voice.
Of course "don't compare" doesn't tell me how to get my Singer 911 either, but somehow I'm okay with that.

Here's what dental business consultant Virginia Moore said about last year's conference:
A fresh perspective,
Information that really works,
You will receive that and more when you have Bruce Turkel speak to your organization.
Having been in attendance both when Bruce took the main stage at the National Speaker's Association Annual Convention and in an intimate workshop setting, I can personally attest to both the message and the application of his recommendations.
Watching 1200 attendees at NSA (and this is an audience of professional speakers!) held spellbound by both Bruce's message and his delivery of that message was an undeniable testament to his ability to captivate an audience and offer information that can revolutionize their marketing approach.
The only risk in considering Bruce Turkel for your meeting would be to not book him! He has a message and way of sharing it that can change the way dentists connect with patients and prospective patients. A message that I have never before seen delivered in the over 25 years that I've been in dentistry.
I guarantee you'll have attendees thanking you for bringing him to your meeting.

Those of us who use the Internet to send marketing materials run the risk of sending unwanted emails – SPAM – to our distribution list. Sometimes it's inadvertent – people sign up for all sorts of things they later decide they don't want and often people sign up their friends or relatives without telling them. Sometimes it's on purpose – plenty of companies send spam to anyone they've come into contact with and even harvest names and addresses for later use with no thought to whether their recipients actually want the materials.
Different mail distribution companies (MyEmma, Listrak, Constant Contact, and their ilk) have systems and protocols for reducing spam but most of them rely on the honor system, requesting and requiring their clients to only send materials to addresses that have opted in. These requirements are not foolproof – a quick calculation of the volume of spam you receive proves this.
That's why I was so stunned to receive this response after I clicked on the "unsubscribe" button on a local university's mailing. I have removed their identification to protect the ham-fisted but didn't change anything else.
"If you do not wish to receive further fundraising communications from UNIVERSITY, please send your request by email to the following address: Development@UNIVERSITY or telephone the appropriate individual below. Please provide us with your name, phone number, and physical address, so that we may respect your wishes not to receive further fundraising communications. Only complete requests can be processed. You may receive additional communications while your request is processed."
Can you believe it? Not only did they send unsolicited spam, but they've requested that I stop what I'm doing to call them or send them an email and provide all my contact information so they can respect my wishes.
I might understand this if it was a third-world scam phishing expedition trying to steal my data – a Nigerian oil bonanza or a fake bank application perhaps – but this was from one of Miami's most prestigious universities.
Kinda makes you wonder what they teach in their marketing classes, huh?

Josh Mayer is a nice guy who runs a wonderful advertising agency in New Orleans with his brother Mark. Josh also has a good enough marriage that his younger employees come to him for advice when they're thinking of getting married. Josh's advice is simple:
"Don't marry for money. Money comes and goes.
Don't marry for looks. Looks can fade.
Don't marry for sex. Sex gets better and worse (and better again, if you're lucky).
Don't even marry for love. Love also ebbs and flows."
You know, I spend a lot of time writing these posts and even more time thinking about what I'm going to write about. I want you to find these posts useful, enjoyable, and valuable. I'd also like them to be profound enough to make a difference to you and maybe even generate some commentary and ongoing discussion.
But Be Nice? Be nice is not something you've never heard before. Be nice is not earth shattering. Hell, be nice is not even profound.
But it is true.
Be Nice is the most important thing you can do to make your life better right this minute. Because being nice changes you and it changes the way the people around you react.
Since hearing Josh's advice I've been trying to train myself to be nice. For example, I greet every jogger and dog-walker and bus stop sitter I pass on my morning runs. The folks I run with make fun of me when the people I greet don't return the greeting but it doesn't matter. I'm greeting them for myself. Here are five other simple ways to be nice:

Thanks to Mayor Bloomberg, there's a lovely little park in front of the Macy's New York flagship store on 34th street between Broadway and 7th Avenue. I lucked upon a garden table and chair shaded from the sun by a big patio umbrella and cooled by the wind rushing between the buildings. With Macy's free Wi-Fi and a nice breeze it's the perfect spot to catch up with the office and our clients between now and my lunch meeting down the street.
But today's revelation comes from something else. I've been wandering through New York from meeting to meeting over the last few days and I'm continually struck by how many people, businesses, brands, and ideologies want to stand out, constantly vying for our attention, our time, and ultimately, our dollars and commitment. And at least half of the people I've passed are busy thumb-typing away on their smartphones which means there's a whole mobile environment that's also fighting for their eyeballs and iWallets.
But the people, too, are all trying to stand out and get attention. There's a woman with a pink Mohawk. A guy in a Thom Browne shrunken suit. A woman teetering on seven-inch heels. A woman in a Chanel suit and flip-flops.
There go a couple of guys in skin-tight tank tops with enough muscles between them for a whole football team. There's a woman with a little dog in a stroller. There's an old man in a baggy suit and collapsed pleather loafers. Even the scruffy folks hoping for handouts try to outdo each other and stand out with their hand-scrawled signs.
And it's not just the street I'm on. Hop in the subway, bounce along for 20 minutes in any direction and you'll surface miles away but still smack dab in the same swarm of teeming humanity – all trying to stand out – striving and searching for whatever it is they're all looking for. Commercial success? Fame? Love? Companionship? Enough spare change to get a bite to eat? It's a dog-eat-dog world and everyone's trying to get their bone.
So how do you stand out? How do you make a difference? How do you build your business, sell your novel, promote your website, fund your non-profit, meet your mate, change your world?
If it were only through the function of being good at what you do then you'd have reached your goal by now. After all, you're already great at your job – an acclaimed professional, a successful practitioner, a skilled technician. But it's not enough, is it? Because in today's world there are plenty of people who do what we do, all of them looking for their shot, auditioning for their spot, waiting for their moment. Few of them stand out.
And it's not just on the streets of New York or Los Angeles or London or Buenos Aires, because today's professionals only have to log on to the 'Net to find legions of people around the world just itching to sell their wares. Radiologists in Mumbai, engineers in Beijing, web designers in Germany, social media experts in Indonesia. If people only want to buy what you do they can find it anywhere. Lucky for you, they want more.
What they want is you. More precisely they want you and how you make them feel. Even more precisely, what they want is you and how you make them feel about themselves.
For example, all cars can get people from Point A to Point B. But a Toyota Prius can make them feel environmentally conscious. And a Tesla can make them feel environmentally conscious AND successful. You see, it's not about the function; it's about the brand identification. A good brand makes people feel good. A great brand makes people feel good about themselves.
Taco Bell just introduced their new Dollar Craving Menu, a list of 11 items that all cost one dollar. To help promote this new pricing, Taco Bell has created their Everlasting Dollar campaign where up to 11 winners could win the chain's food for life (or at least $10,000 worth) if they simply find special modified dollar bills with unique serial numbers.
Although the odds are estimated at 2.4 billion to one (you probably have more chance of being struck twice by lightning while winning your state's lottery then winning Taco Bell for life), the campaign has been heavily promoted across social media. And it'll work well for Taco Bell because it is intrinsically aligned with their Tribal Signature.
Domino's Pizza trades food for money too, but that's not the business they're in either. Instead their Tribal Signature – the reason their tribe identifies with them – is that they can deliver an acceptable solution within 30 minutes. The problem they solve? The kids are hungry, my friends came over to watch the game, it's late and I don't feel like cooking, we need more food for the birthday party. Solving those kinds of problems is the business that Domino's is in.
So what business are you in? What's your Tribal Signature? What is your authentic truth that attracts business to you as it separates you from your competition?
As we've discussed so many times on this blog, people don't buy what you do, they buy who you are. What you do is the functional solution that they might come looking for and it is what you trade for money but it's not why they do business with you and your company.
When you were in the market for a mortgage, how did you choose the people you did business with? If you provided the right amount of collateral and were willing to pay the going rate, you could get money from lots of banks, credit unions, finance companies, and more. So why do you decide to do business with one organization or another?
Let's say you're a public speaker and simply market yourself as such. You tell your potential customers that if they've got 55 minutes to fill on their agenda you're the best person for the job. Sounds like a good strategy, right? Trouble is there are thousands of other speakers who can do the same thing you're offering. Some are more expensive than you. Some are cheaper. Some are better. Some aren't. But if all your customer needs is to fill an hour or so, they've got a lot of choices and the odds that they'll pick you aren't very good.
But if they want Guy Kawasaki, or Bill Clinton, or the pilot who landed that plane in the Hudson River, or the leading expert in reconstructive surgery, or my friend Melissa Francis from FOX Business, then just any old speaker won't do. So the real question is how do you raise your brand equity to occupy THAT kind of space in your clients' mind?
On October ninth and tenth, Toby LaVigne and I are going to present our first Tribal Signature Boot Camp where we'll walk you along the simple, albeit simply non-intuitive path to uncovering and promoting your authentic truth. We're going to explore this concept and workshop the specific tools and techniques you'll use to build your brand and attract your best customers.
Last year our Elite Branding Seminar filled to capacity in just a few weeks, and this program already looks like it's going to do the same thing so please click HERE if you're interested in knowing more.
And while you're thinking about it, please spend a little time thinking about exactly what business you are in. If your answer sounds not like what your customers want, but more like what it is you offer, then you have a lot more thinking to do.Published on September 2nd, 2014

Author TheAngel70127 (2 years)
Really? well i don't think so because the baby would be light skin most
likely, and most black people are self haters of their own race so the
closer the baby would be white the better they feel because they feel that
white people are more superior than them anyways. he'll just probably be
mad the ''expected one thing wholeheartedly part and got something else,
having some other man's baby part''. rather than the fact that the baby is
bi-racial, because most black people love light skin more.

Obviously, he's not racist if he listens to the Steve Harvey Morning Show
all the time AND his wife actually called in the prank. I'm sure he was
just concerned that there would be no way to conceal the fact that his
wife's child was not his. The only part that stuck out though was the fact
that he asked was Tommy black just because he used the term "baby's daddy"
as though we're the only group of people that use the term. I'm Black and I
never use the term. Either way... This was funny as heck!

Author TheInfamousLaugh (2 years)
I don't understand how anyone can surmise that he is racist based on what
was said. He thought his wife was going to have another mans child. The
fact that it's going to be another skin color would have amplified the
problem. Why? Because they would have had to answer questions such as ..
did your wife cheat on you, was the baby adopted, was the baby from another
marriage.. etc etc.. so it does make a big difference.. I think the baby
would have been just as loved either way.

New Durham woman convicted of starving child given 10-30 year prison sentence Monday
Thomas, 34, of 214 Birch Hill Road in New Durham, has been held in jail since a jury found her guilty in February of "deliberate" first-degree assault for withholding food from a boy, who is developmentally delayed - between 2006 and 2010.
The boy, who is now 9, is being cared for by foster parents who said he has shown dramatic improvement, but will always be affected by the experience.
Assistant County Attorney Alysia Cassotis said the state recommended the maximum sentence, which included the conditions she have no contact with the boy or his family, as Thomas deliberately targeted the boy.
"This is starving a child over a series of years," Cassotis said, adding when the boy was 6½ and weighed as much as a 10-month old.
"It is time she's held responsible for what she's done with this child," Cassotis said, adding Thomas must be punished and rehabilitated.
As a jury already convicted Thomas, Lewis said the sentencing hearing was not the time or the place to re-try the case. He was looking only at whether Thomas could offer any mitigating factors in the case.
"I'm asking hard questions, but this is the time to have a discussion with me," Lewis said.
Attorney Steven Keable - who represented Thomas - argued there were factors as she was subjected to physical and emotional abuse as a child, was institutionalized as a teen, became a mother at 15, used drugs and alcohol. He added this long history of issues created a personality disorder that should be taken under consideration.
Keable read a letter Thomas wrote for the hearing, which asked the court to be lenient.
"I have remorse for some things I have done," Keable read, adding Thomas maintains her innocence.
Keable argued a sentence of 2½ to 10 years would be sufficiently stringent, but give her an opportunity to stay connected to her six biological children.
"My children are my life," Keable read.
Lewis said he felt the sentence in the case must be harsh enough to punish Thomas while deterring others. He added it also provides a controlled environment to allow Thomas to seek rehabilitation.
"You need structure," Lewis said, citing her history of resisting authority and manipulating others.
Lewis encouraged Thomas to take advantage of the opportunities, take responsibility and stay in touch with her children.
"It's not the end of the world if you're 44 when you get out," Lewis said, adding she can still have a relationship with her children while in prison.
Lewis said the pre-sentencing investigation stresses that Thomas, who underwent two psychiatric evaluations as part of the trial, must find motivation to improve.
"It's entirely up to you," Lewis said.
Following the sentencing, Thomas entered a not-guilty plea to two new charges - falsifying physical evidence and perjury - in connection with her three-week trial that ended Feb. 21.
Falsifying physical evidence and perjury are a Class B Felonies, which could each result in 3½ to 7 years in jail and a $2,000 fine, if convicted.

Btn Ok in data_sorting
delphichem posted 1 year ago in General
There is no need to adjust the top of btnOk in line 191, that can cause misalignment.
ansgar posted 1 year ago
Hm, no I don't think so.
delphichem posted 1 year ago
Hi, the ok button is one pixel upper then the others, if I comment line 191, and because the button's anchors [akLeft,akBotton], all button are well alignment, is there a place where I can send a screenshot? (On the official facebook page may be?)

I guess you're right. I just need to adjust the *width* of buttons, not the height and vertical alignment.

Not sure if we have any JDers in Calgary, but I sure hope they've grabbed their scuba gear and/or fled for the high ground or their boats.
Was reading a report that the first ten rows are underwater at the Saddledome, the Calgary Flames dressing room is totally submerged and the water has effectively shorted out all the electronics in the building, including the jumbotron wiring.
Apparently the Jumbotron was on the floor surface for maintenance work and is completely done.
Oddly we got some pretty heavy rains in Winnipeg the exact same day, to the point where the drain in our new Ikea store was shooting up water and they had about 8" of water on the main floor so they had to close down. Obviously pales in comparison to Calgary though, that's just crazy.
Clark: "What was I supposed to do let them die?"
Jonathan: "...Maybe"
I've never even seen those before. Is there a story behind them?
Meh. Kind of boring...

"Our thoughts are the source of what we begin reaping in our lives. The seeds of thought that we choose to plant can grow into strong sturdy oak trees or into relentlessly spreading poison ivy that infects ourselves and all we touch."
"Remember when you pray to keep it real and don't always feel the need to pray the scriptures. They are great examples and allow us to see another's heart for God, yet God wants to hear from your heart all the more."
"If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you."
"love is when you cant control it. No matter how much your try and tell yourself to stop, your heart wont let you"
"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Avoiding Scheduling Games - A Management View
Software managers, project leaders, and developers often complain that "Management" sets unreasonable schedules for delivery of software projects. Sometimes, your managers ask you to estimate the resources and duration of projects before you have all the information you need. Or, your team always feels under pressure to deliver projects faster and with fewer defects, but little time is allotted for training and improvement work. Or, users don't understand why it takes so long to make that "small change" they requested last week. Sound familiar? If so, join Johanna Rothman for a surprising view from Management's eyes on software project scheduling. Learn how to address the underlying problems and how to change the rules of the game. Find out what Management is thinking and how you can influence their behavior and reduce your stress.

Zoning laws prevented the kindhearted Angie from collecting rent, so she took in a boarder for free. Sunny is willing to continue her aunt's generosity, but she hopes the professor will pay the utility bills, or the mortgage. Before she has a chance to broach the subject, she finds his dead body in Miss Eden's Garden. Sunny is convinced it was an accident, but Ramsey Lynch, the handsome deputy sheriff, labels her a murder suspect. Relying on what she learned from reading and watching mysteries with her aunt, Sunny sets out to prove her innocence. As clues surface, it seems everyone in Joshua's Junction has a motive ... including Sunny! Ramsey must ignore his feelings for Sunny and do his job 'by the book'. Sunny is learning to do it all 'by the Book'. Eventually, they hope to find themselves on the same page. CERTAIN CONTENT THAT APPEARS ON THIS SITE COMES FROM AMAZON SERVICES LLC.

Cuba Gooding, Jr. makes his way to FX, Joaquin Phoenix successfully pranks us all, Khloé Kardashian is still sad about a breakup, and more First Dibs.
Long before the Kardashian sisters adopted high fashion, they were dancing on tables at nightclubs. Before Kourtney was a mother of (nearly!) three or Kim was besties with Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci, the three sisters weren't afraid to get photographed getting turned up. Read more…
In the world of celebrity, the question is often: What's the most insane thing we can think of that will help us perfect our bodies? The latest weight loss idea to consume women of Hollywood is "waist training," which, for the uninitiated, is basically like wearing a medieval corset. Read more…
Before the Kardashian sisters built their business empire, they were known for two things: being absolutely crazy and having ridiculous curves. After her sex tape hit, Kim's famous booty started taking over the world. Literally and metaphorically. Read more…
What is camel toe, you ask? It's "punani" gone awry, "yum yum" that just won't cooperate, "coochie" in a state of defiance. Most embarrassingly, camel toe is visible for the whole world to see — usually due to overly tight jeans (Khloe Kardashian), hot pants (Nicki Minaj) or bad performance attire (Miley Cyrus, cover thyself!). Why do people care about camel toe? Because some have a juvenile interest in glimpsing O.P.P. (Other Peoples' Property). Here at Scandalist, we believe it has something to do with being repressed in childhood. We've compiled photos of the most ridiculous celebrity camel toe moments ever. Warning: even males aren't safe from the camel toe.
Relive Miley Cyrus' camel toe heavy performance at the 2013 MTV VMAs.
The Kardashians have probably had the most dramatic image reinvention of any other high-profile celebrity family. While Paris Hilton is still getting around in orange spray tans and super mini-skirts and crop tops — she's STILL rocking that belly ring, too — the Kardashians have matured and embraced "high" fashion. And no one has transformed more over the years than Khloe, the little sister who went from club bunny bombshell to a statuesque fashion icon.
Kim Kardashian isn't the only member of the reality clan getting attention today. Khloe Kardashian isn't yet divorced from Lamar Odom, but another man apparently wants to walk her down the aisle. The Gossip Table's panelists heard that French Montana is ready to propose marriage and could pop the question next month!
Macaulay Culkin wants you to know that he is very much alive. After reports surfaced that the 34-year-old actor had passed away this weekend, Culkin used his band Pizza Underground's Instagram account to prove that he is indeed alive and has a sense of humor when it comes to Internet death hoaxes (check out that mean Weekend at Bernie's impression).
Keira Knightley defends her untouched, topless photo shoot, Sopranos creator talks possibility of a prequel, Khloe Kardashian talks closure after divorce, and more First Dibs.
Kris Jenner is gearing up for her birthday bash this weekend. Just like daughter Kim Kardashian, Jenner is celebrating her big day in Las Vegas. The Gossip Table has the scoop on the festivities.

Consumer goods giant Diageo is seeing a slowdown in growth in one of its main markets, the United States. One would have thought the economic recovery and drop in the oil price would have translated into greater discretionary spending on the liquors and spirits which it purveys. Yet that has not been the case, the company´s boss, Larry Scwhartz, admitted. That is much the same as recent comments out from several of its peers. Increased discounting among top brands, in response to more price-conscious consumers, has been one factor

She has held a fine balance in my eyes and overall gave the market a boost it very much needed, before it was due to sink into oblivion just as Santa was dusting off his sleigh – we say hooray!
The rhetoric was very closely scrutinised but it's changed the forward guidance language They have stated categorically they can still 'wait a considerable time' – same language as before.
If you have learned about options in theory until now but have never traded an option, you may not know what to expect. Let's start by showing you an image of a basic Buy Call trade.
Take a close look at the trade, what do you see? What comprises the basic Buy Call trade above? Here is a quick breakdown:
The Kiwi has been wanting to confirm a change in direction for today to the downside and it drops below the 0.7800 level. Today's price action has stayed below the main pivot point, which is around the 0.7819 level.
The pivot points are actually levels of support or resistance where the price tends to change direction. Some traders watch the pivot points for breakouts, other for bounces.
The 200 Period Exponential Moving Average (EMA) can act as a very good resistance or support area, especially on the higher time frames. That is why when we see that the AUD/USD has reached its 200 EMA on the monthly chart, we should pay attention to the next moves on the pair.
Obviously, we should not leave out the fundamentals and as long as the Federal Reserve of the United States keeps hinting into applying higher interest rates, the Australian Dollar could remain weak versus the US Dollar.
These are the 10 top share tips and recommended trades for 2015 from our network of experts: professional traders, analysts and stock tipsters. Stock tips include some supermarkets, a US car maker, an AIM penny share and a FTSE 100 insurer, while there are three top forex trades and a pair of indices.
Good luck if you add them to your portfolio, but remember picking one share to buy for 2015 is a notoriously difficult thing to do and investments can go down as well as up!
