In Business, the odds are a little different. You don't have to break the Mendoza line (hitting .200). In fact, it doesnt matter how many times you strike out. In business, to be a success, you only have to be right once.
One single solitary time and you are set for life. That's the beauty of the business world.
I like to tell the story of how I started my first business at age 12, selling garbage bags. No one ever has asked if I was any good or made money at it. I was, and I did…enough to buy some tennis shoes :).
I like to tell the story of how I startedup a bar, Motley's Pub when I wasn't even of legal drinking age the summer before my senior year at Indiana University. No one really asks me how it turned out. It was great until we got busted for letting a 16-year-old win a wet t-shirt contest (I swear I checked her ID, and it was good!).
No one really asks me about my adventures working for Mellon Bank, or Tronics 2000, or trying to start a business selling powdered milk (it was cheaper by the gallon, and I thought it tasted good). They don't ask me about working as a bartender at night at Elans when I first got to Dallas, or getting fired from my job at Your Business Software for wanting to close a sale rather than sweeping the floor and opening up the store.
No ever asked me about what it was like when I started MicroSolutions and how I used to count the months I was in business, hoping to outlast my previous endeavors and make this one a success.
With every effort, I learned a lot. With every mistake and failure, not only mine, but of those around me, I learned what not to do. I also got to study the success of those I did business with as well. I had more than a healthy dose of fear, and an unlimited amount of hope, and more importantly, no limit on time and effort.
Fortunately, things turned out well for me with MicroSolutions. I sold it after 7 years and made enough money to take time off and have a whole lot of fun.
Back then I can remember vividly people telling me how lucky I was to sell my business at the right time.
Then when I took that money and started trading technology stocks that were in the areas that MIcroSolutions focused on.I remember vividly being told how lucky I was to have expertise in such a hot area, as technology stocks started to trade up.
Of course, no one wanted to comment on how lucky I was to spend time reading software manuals, or Cisco Router manuals, or sitting in my house testing and comparing new technologies, but that's a topic for another blog post.
The point of all this is that it doesn't matter how many times you fail.
It doesn't matter how many times you almost get it right.
No one is going to know or care about your failures, and either should you.
All you have to do is learn from them and those around you because…
All that matters in business is that you get it right once.
Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.
Tell the World Please !

By Patricia Monaghan
Co-author, Meditation: The Complete Guide
May 8, 2012
In 1902, the great American philosopher William James published a seminal book, Varieties of Religious Experience. Not himself religious, he asked a number of people what they meant by "religion." Perhaps not surprisingly, he found that this common word had many meanings, ranging from piety to mysticism to saintliness.
In the same way, the term "meditation" has many possible meanings, from a state of deep relaxation conducive to better physical health, to a spiritual union with something beyond the human — with dozens of possibilities between.
Although some meditation teachers offer definitions so narrow that only their practice can qualify, when my co-author Eleanor Viereck and I began to compile a guide to the subject, we found dozens of options for people who want to learn to meditate or to expand upon their repertoire of meditation practices. We also discovered that people have varying reasons to pursue such a practice. Some are drawn by the desire to deal with a medical problem such as hypertension or insomnia, both of which have been shown to respond well to meditation. Others seek a spiritual practice that will draw them away from the hurly-burly of daily life. Yet others seek a way of freeing up their imaginations and becoming more creative. Any or all of these can be reasons to look for a meditation practice.
What happens when someone who wants to deal with insomnia enrolls in a rigorous class in a course in Zen meditation? Or if someone who wants to create more spiritual space in her life registers for a health-oriented hatha yoga class? Most likely, they will join the long list of meditation drop-outs, people who say, "I tried that, but it just didn't work for me."
But switch them around. The insomniac finds relief and relaxation in hatha yoga, and the seeker finds that Zen offers the spiritual discipline she sought. But there are many other options: the Zen drop-out might have tried biofeedback to get the results he needed. The spiritual seeker might have embraced an indigenous tradition such as drumming. Or she might have found a new connection to a religion of origin through meditative traditions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
For every successful meditator today, a dozen people have tried unsuccessfully to develop a meditation practice. Yet by defining what they seek and exploring multiple options, even meditation drop-outs can find the right practice to meet their needs.
Questions to consider when considering meditation
What is your reason for meditating? Do you seek to deal with stress or chronic pain? To become more attuned to life's spiritual essence? To become more aware of others and the needs of society? To enter an altered state of consciousness? To become more deeply conscious of the natural world? To enhance your creative abilities? Specific forms of meditation will lead you to each of those goals.
Do you practice a specific religion? Does that religion discourage you from exploring other spiritual paths? Or, if you are not a member of a religion at this time, does religious imagery get in the way of your accepting a teaching? Depending on your relationship to organized religion, you will find some meditative practices more suitable than others.
Can you meditate daily? While this is ideal, there are some forms of meditation that can be practiced less frequently.
Can you meditate alone? Can you meditate with others? Depending on your level of self-discipline and distractability, different forms of meditation will present themselves as suitable.
Do you have physical limitations? Even meditative styles that require movement can usually be adapted for those with limited mobility.
Do you have an emotional or mental disorder? Most meditative styles enhance, rather than detract from, the lives of those with mental or emotional disorders. However, certain techniques can be difficult for such individuals.
Finding an appropriate meditative practice is the first step. Sticking with it is the next, and most important, one. For all meditative forms require a commitment of time and effort. You won't know whether a meditation form is right for you without trying it out for many months, at least. Choosing well at the beginning of your journey will contribute to a positive experience, but sticking with your practice is what finally leads to the results you seek.

It's official! Lionsgate has announced that Lynn Cohen has been officially cast as Mags in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire! Below is the official press release:
Santa Monica, CA, August 2, 2012 - Lionsgate® and the filmmakers of THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE are pleased to announce that Lynn Cohen has been cast in the role of Mags in the much anticipated film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' worldwide smash hit novel Catching Fire. A former mentor to Finnick Odair, Mags is an eighty year old Hunger Games victor from District 4. Known to New York theater audiences for decades of memorable roles, Cohen has also appeared in critically acclaimed films such as Steven Spielberg's Munich and Charlie Kaufman's Synecdoche, NY, as well as commercial fare such as Sex and The City and its sequel. She can next be seen in They Came Together, with Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler.
THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE begins as Katniss Everdeen has returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games along with fellow tribute Peeta Mellark. Winning means that they must turn around and leave their family and close friends, embarking on a "Victor's Tour" of the districts. Along the way Katniss senses that a rebellion is simmering, but the Capitol is still very much in control as President Snow prepares the 75th Annual Hunger Games (The Quarter Quell) - a competition that could change Panem forever. THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE will be directed by Francis Lawrence, and produced by Nina Jacobson's Color Force in tandem with producer Jon Kilik. The novel on which the film is based is the second in a trilogy that has sold more than 50 million books in print and digital in the U.S. alone. Lionsgate will release THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE on November 22, 2013.

HOUSTON (AP) — Southern Baptist Convention leaders have proposed a resolution expressing their opposition to the Boy Scouts of America's new policy allowing gay Scouts.
The resolution also calls on the Boy Scouts to remove from executive and board leadership the individuals who earlier sought to allow gays as both members and leaders without consulting the many religious groups that sponsor Scout troops.
While the resolution does not recommend that Southern Baptists drop ties with the Scouts, it expresses support for those churches and families that decide to do so.
It also encourages churches and families who choose to remain with the Scouts to work toward the reversal of the new membership policy.
Delegates to the annual meeting of the nation's largest Protestant denomination will vote on the resolution on Wednesday in Houston.

Little Ree
Little Ree
New York Times bestselling author, Food Network star, and The Pioneer Woman herself, Ree Drummond, brings us the first book in a brand-new picture book series!
In Ree's own words: "I was all grown up when I moved out to the country. When I first arrived, I felt so out of place! But eventually, I looked around and discovered all the wonderful things about country life. So I decided to write a story about my experiences, as seen through the eyes of a little girl named Ree.
"Little Ree moves to the country and feels as scared and unsure as I was. But then she finds that if she sets her mind to it, being a country girl is a pretty cool thing. Come along on her adventures!"
Little Ree trades in her city days for a country way of life when she moves with her family to her grandparents' ranch. She's excited to ride horses, swim in the pond, and help Grandma cook for everyone. But on her first day, she finds that living on a ranch can be tough.
She has to get up at the crack of dawn, learn to herd cows, and make sure her horse, Pepper, doesn't eat everything in sight. And that's all before breakfast! Will she ever get used to this new place? Luckily, the end of the day brings a big family barbecue...and the happy discovery that being a country girl isn't about the right pair of boots, it's all about the right attitude.
With warmth, humor, and stories inspired by life on the ranch, Ree Drummond's picture book introduces us to a spunky new picture book star and treats us to a special pancake recipe at the end!

Mr Doubter, meet Harold. Harold, meet Mr Doubter! Fabulous post Tif. I'm sure there are so many who can relate to those moments of self-doubt - who pounce when you least expect it. Naughty little blighers! Love your words, love your work and love love love your empathy and support of others. Going to treat myself and by your book.
Have a great day

Lovely Tif,
You can never know how much this post meant to me, for Mr. Doubter has very nearly made a home in my heart this past month, and I have felt my strength and spirit giving in to his taunts!
Thank you for reminding me that I'm not alone, and that my love for creating is stronger than any shadow lurking in the wings.
Warmest blessings... - February 22, 2012 at 2:36 PM

Hi Tiff
I love reading your blog and love your work. It's so great to know we are not suffering 'Mr Doubters' alone. I love the feeling when 'Mr Doubter' is not around and I can feel the creative juices flowing. And I agree with Bec, you must come down under to Australia-it's beautiful here and we would love to meet you. Sharon xox - February 22, 2012 at 7:00 PM

A lovely post Tif and I think we all have a bit of an experience with nasty old Mr Doubter we can share!! And when you do make that creative trip to Australia one day, be sure and pop across the Tasman to New Zealand for some creative sharing also as I could easily soon gather up a bunch of likeminded souls for a Dottie Angel Workshop !!! We would make you MOST welcome :-) kind regards Julie :-)

Too bad you're too far away for me to be joining your workshop, as Mr Doubter seems a well-traveled fellow and visits Europe quite often as well. ;-) However, after your posting, I turned on the light at my little working desk and thought - hey, forget about the shadows where Mr Doubter can hide! At least for today... :-) lealu

Thank you so much for this post. I have recently moved to New Zealand from the UK and left all my craft wares and crafty companions behind. I have yet to find my feet here and, without my creations, I feel a bit lost and unsure of myself. Hopefully Mr Doubter won't stick around too much longer!
- February 23, 2012 at 12:00 AM
Ah yes, Mr Doubter, I know him well. He often comes to visit with his friend Mr Downer. The two of them make it quite impossible to make anything at times.
I discovered The Jealous Curator following one of your links to your brother's feature (love his work too!). What a great site and what a find I thought!
How I wish I could come along with you all. A super idea :) - February 23, 2012 at 1:16 AM

Yes, Mr. Doubter visits my heart quite regularly lately, now I'm on my own, trying to start a creative business. It's sometimes difficult to not feel overwhelmed by all the beautiful work all around the internet! I wish Seattle was around the corner, it would be so wonderful to share doubts, insecurities ánd inspiration with other wonderful artists. Maybe we should start something like this in The Netherlands too, that would be really awesome! Thank you for reminding me I'm not alone in this, dear Tif!

Mr Doubter has his own room in my house. I would much rather let my room out to Miss Creative or Mrs High Hopes but he will not leave. The workshop idea is a fabulous one and I wish I lived nearer so I could join in. Your work is wonderful Tif. You can show him the door with a good old flea in his ear!

i do believe it really helps others to know we all have our own Mr Doubter... i think wrestling with inner doubts is part of being a creative folk, it is what makes us part of who we are and why we embrace the highs with so much passion and energy, cause we know how hard the lows can be. thank you so kindly for sharing with me your comments today :)

If only I could come to Seattle.... I was so reassured to read this post! I had just been admiring all your fabulously creative work and Mr Doubter was right there on my shoulder saying 'You'll never create anything as amazingly individual and wonderful as this'.
And then I read this post saying that you too have your Mr Doubter... I wish you didn't but, at the same time, it reassures me that even someone as obviously gifted and talented as you has doubts. I guess it must just be a part of the creative process! So thank you for sharing this. I wish you and everyone else many, many, many happy days free of Mr Doubter! - February 23, 2012 at 1:20 PM
- Unknown said...
wow miss dottie i was surprised to read about you having mr doubter. i have suffered from my own big huge mr doubter my entire artistic life.
he is big. he is not so friendly and can definitely bring a girl down.
i find great peace and escape into another land when creating design, artwork, fun silly anything really.

The first thing that attracted me to this cake recipe before I had ever even tasted it was its rather romantic name, Amor Polenta. It's an unusual name whose origins have long been forgotten but it is perfectly fitting for someone partial to polenta, or should I say, with a love for polenta. There's something about polenta that I adore in a cake – the way it soaks up the other flavours around it, that golden colour, and most of all, that bite, that grittiness that gives the cake crumb its unique texture.
Whenever I see polenta cake or even read about it (especially when it's as lyrical as Rachel Roddy's description where you can taste her orange, cardamom, almond and polenta cake through her words, dripping like the hot orange, lemon and honey syrup she pours on top), I simply must have some. I will continue thinking about it for days until I get some. Rachel's sticky orange polenta cake is still haunting me, particularly after mentioning eating it with a dollop of mascarpone.
Then there's Valeria Necchio's rustic strawberry polenta cake, made with a batter featuring good-for-you ingredients such as wholemeal flour and yoghurt. With its wholesome goodness and a top dotted with seeping and sinking dark red strawberries and flecks of slivered almonds, it's a cake that you can imagine sitting, steaming, on a beautiful country kitchen bench. And on top of that, you could even allow yourself eat it for breakfast. Yes, cake for breakfast.
Amor Polenta, or as it's known in its area of origin in northern Lombardy, Dolce Varese, is a simple cake made with a trinity of 'flours' that makes it both rustic and delicate at the same time. Add to the polenta some soft flour (some recipes even call for potato starch, keeping it light and fluffy but also, as it turns out, gluten free) and ground almonds and you have a compact, but crumbly, moist cake – a little like a pound cake – but with that wonderful little bit of bite from the polenta.
Traditionally this cake is baked in a half-cylindrical ridged tin, which is what makes it instantly recognisable as Amor Polenta. Not having one one of these special tins, I used a round tin, and since it no longer resembled Amor Polenta, I also pushed some freshly poached pears into the batter before baking. I suppose you could say this isn't Amor Polenta at all but simply a polenta and pear cake inspired by it, which needn't be a bad thing. If you'd like to make the real thing, all you need is that lovely ridged tin and forget the pears – done.
Traditional Amor Polenta doesn't need any rising agents, just the fluffiness of the freshly whipped eggs. Perhaps somewhere along the way, people lost their patience for whipping eggs for as long as they did in older recipes (such as this one for Torta Margherita from 1891 that only has three ingredients) and the baking powder just guarantees your cake will rise without too much elbow grease. When did we become so lazy?
Poached pear and polenta cake
Based on the recipe for Amor Polenta, this is adapted from a recipe by Stefano de Pieri of Stefano's in Mildura in Victoria's north west. He suggests serving it with glazed, poached pears on the side, which I think is a bit fancy for this humble cake normally served simply dusted with icing sugar alongside an espresso or tea.
- 40 gr potato starch (or 80 gr plain flour)
- 60 gr of almond meal
- 85 gr fine polenta
- 1 tsp baking powder
- A pinch of salt
- 100 gr caster sugar
- 125 gr butter, room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 4 egg yolks
- 2 whole pears, cored, sliced into quarters and poached until just cooked
- Icing sugar
Combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the yolks and eggs one at a time, beating well until fluffy. Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the eggs and pour the batter into a greased cake tin (I used a 26cm spring form tin, greased and lined with baking paper because it's a terribly old, rusty tin). Arrange the poached pear slices on top, pushing them into the batter ever so slightly. Bake at 180 Cº or until the cake rises slightly around the pears and turns golden brown, about 30 minutes. Once cool,dust with icing sugar and serve in thick wedges.

Would you have to change your clothes before you let Him in?
Or hide some magazines and put the Bible where they'd been?
Would you hide your wordly music and put some hymn books out?
Could you let Jesus walk right in or would you rush about?
And I wonder... if the Savior spent a day or two with you
Would you go right on doing the things you always do?
Would you go right on saying the things you always say?
Would life for you continue as it does from day to day?
Would you take Jesus with you everywhere you go?
Or would you maybe change your plans for just a day or so?
Would you be glad to have Him meet your closest friends?
Or would you hope they stay away until His visit ends?
Would you be glad to have Him stay forever on and on?
Or would you sign with great relief when He at last was gone?
It might be interesting to know the things that you would do
If Jesus came in person to spend some time with you.

Alternative Loans, a form of private educational financing, should be a family's last resource to financing a college education. Borrowing from federal loan sources (Stafford and/or PLUS Loans) should always be considered before an Alternative Loan. The student is the primary borrower and a credit-worthy co-signer is required. Various types of alternative loans are available. The interest rates are typically higher than Perkins, Nursing, Stafford or PLUS Loans and vary from loan to loan as do the loan limits and fees. Fees may be deducted from the total amount borrowed.
An Alternative Loan is usually certified within 2-4 weeks of receiving the certification request from the lender. A temporary credit will be placed on the student's account while awaiting disbursement of the loan. For additional information, please contact the Office of Financial Aid at email@example.com.

Technical analysis is a range of techniques used to try and forecast future price movements of financial products based on historical price movements and patterns.
Foreign exchange markets are particularly well suited to using technical analysis. The high levels of liquidity in terms of trading volumes and number of players, and sensitivity to big long-term national level trends, means that forex markets tend to trend over time and patterns often have the chance to fully develop.
At the same time, technical analysis in forex markets can also be used effectively in developing and executing short-term trading strategies.
Traders in forex markets can use many of the same western technical analysis techniques as other markets, including patterns like wedges, triangles, channels, double tops and bottoms and head and shoulders. Quantitative and combination techniques like moving averages, Bollinger Bands® and Fibonacci retracements are also popular, along with analysis of oscillators and momentum indicators like MACD, RSI and stochastics. Wedge patterns and Bollinger Bands are examples of two of the most popular technical analysis methods.
Wedge patterns generally give an indication that a trend reversal may be imminent, so if the price is showing a downward trend within the wedge, one might assume that the trend may change to an uptrend when the price breaks through the top of the pattern. Wedge patterns can be bullish or bearish, depending on the current trend shown within the wedge, and they are generally longer term patterns (three to six months).
Bollinger Bands are a chart overlay that draws a line two standard deviations above a simple moving average and a line two standard deviations below the simple moving average. This is one of the most popular technical analysis tools as it is a good measure of volatility. The closer the price on the chart gets to the upper band, the more 'overbought' the market can be considered to be. The closer price gets to the lower band, the more likely the market is to be oversold.
Forex traders can use these techniques on charts of any time horizon from tick or minute charts right through to weekly or monthly charts. In addition to identifying trends, technical traders use these techniques to identify price objectives, stop-loss levels and in-trade selection, often looking for a return to risk ratio of at least 2:1.
Forex traders also are able to use eastern technical analysis techniques like candlestick patterns, particularly for short-term term trading and identifying key turning points. Some of the more popular candle patterns used in forex analysis include dojis, hammers, hanging man, morning and evening stars and engulfing candles.
Many forex traders find using a combination of analysis techniques particularly helpful, as the more indicators that align to suggest a potential trade, the higher the confidence level.
There is one particularly useful technical analysis tool which is easily available to forex traders but more difficult for traders of other asset classes.
One of the old adages of technical analysis is 'when in doubt, turn your chart upside down'. This was easy in the days of paper charts but became nearly impossible in the computer age, though it has become a bit easier for traders charting on mobile phones or tablets.
In forex markets, which are based on pairs trading, it's easy to flip a chart over by reversing which of the two currencies in the pair is the base currency. In addition to the chart pattern itself, USD and CAD are a particularly interesting pair to compare in this way, because there are large groups of traders who look at each chart. USD/CAD is the global convention used by traders around the world. CAD/USD, however, is widely used by the Canadian media and Canadian public, so key levels on either chart can have an influence on analysis and trading, and become potential pivot points like USD/CAD $1.2500 and CAD/USD $0.7500, for example. In these charts it's also worth noting how the wedge patterns and RSI divergences reinforce each other.

Despite the worldwide momentum toward clean energy, two of America's oil giants have recently placed significant bets on fossil fuels. Both Exxon Mobil and Chevron have announced massive acquisitions in the past month, revealing a strong belief in the long-term viability of oil and gas. In a surprising move, Chevron confirmed plans to acquire Hess for $53 billion in stock. This follows Exxon Mobil's revelation less than two weeks earlier of their purchase of Pioneer Natural Resources for a staggering $59.5 billion in stock.
Despite the International Energy Agency's (IEA) recent report projecting an all-time high in global demand for fossil fuels by 2030, the IEA's executive director, Fatih Birol, stands firm on the unstoppable transition to clean energy. However, Chevron and Exxon's acquisitions suggest they're bracing for a contrasting future.
Larry J. Goldstein, former president of the Petroleum Industry Research Foundation, underscores the industry's belief in sustained oil demand. "Big oil companies are deeply committed to the industry, expecting strong oil demand for the next two to three decades," he remarked. Ben Cahill, senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, notes that current global oil consumption is near record levels. The belief is that major US oil and gas producers see a prolonged future for oil demand.
While investments in clean energy surge, continued demand for oil and gas remains due to global population growth, especially in rapidly developing regions like Africa and Asia. As Shon Hiatt, director at USC Marshall School of Business, explains, "In emerging economies, adopting low-carbon energy sources might be prohibitively expensive. Oil and gas are still vital, especially in Europe and North America."
Both Exxon and Chevron are expanding while European counterparts face tighter emission regulations. Some experts speculate these American oil majors are capitalizing on European divestments. Amy Myers Jaffe, from New York University, believes that geopolitical sanctions against state-controlled oil companies in Russia, Venezuela, and Iran present strategic opportunities for American firms.
Accessibility and speed are key. Shale oil, especially from the Permian basin, is attractive due to its quick-to-market potential, explains Marianne Kah from Columbia University. Both recent acquisitions have strategically positioned Exxon and Chevron to tap into these reserves rapidly, providing them with flexibility in a volatile price climate.

So, are you working steadily right now? Are you paying the rent, the mortgage, the bills – eating alright? If you're not working, or freelancing and in need of a gig – what are you doing about it?
If you're looking for work, you should be making the rounds daily at your favorite job sites, calling references, emailing and calling everyone you can possibly think of, making your name known, and getting it into the front of potential employers' brains. You're not going to get work by not looking for it – no matter how hard you don't try. Getting work is work, and it's work because you have to work for it.
Cheesy? Maybe. But how's that job search coming?
I have a handful of favorites when I'm looking to pick up freelance income, light a show, or look for a steady gig. There are lots and lots and lots and lots of places online that are posting gigs – there are also a lot of places out there that have a bunch of postings for a wide variety of things related to your field, and most of the time you have to sort through them, and often. Remember, work.
Theatre Communications Group (TCG)'s famous Artsearch
Artsearch is the entertainment jobs rag that's been around – well – forever. In addition to their print jobs listings, they have a healthy online subscription-based product that is the pay go-to place for gigs.

Esta.org Job Board
The Entertainment Services and Technology Association – or ESTA, affectionately – has a job board with a good handful of listings. From my experience with esta's jobs, they're usually good, high quality gigs.
Myspace Jobs
Maybe you don't have a Myspace page, but I still have mine from WAY back in the day. Myspace has a decent amount of good gigs, actually! The link above is for the query "Lighting Designer," for example.
JobZone at Live Design Online
Live Design Online has what they call the "JobZone." It's chock full-o-jobs. Lots of different genres.
Playbill Online's Job Board
Not Playboy, PLAYBILL. You know, the thing you always get at shows. Their website has a lot of job postings for all kinds of entertainment jobs.
This is a small list of job search places, but it's some of what I use. Yeah, I'm sharing that with you in one place for your benefit – it's because I'm glad you read the site! Also, I am going to be posting jobs here, in a special page that's being built, specifically for jobs dealing with light and the lighting industries. More on this in the very near future.

All signs point to improving 2012 bottom-line performance for the U.S. textile and apparel sectors.
Credit the anticipated earnings gains to a combination of factors — including some modest
improvement in consumer demand, sharply lower cotton costs, and prices that are now running
significantly higher than a year ago. A just-released forecast by Global Insight pretty much
reflects this brightening outlook. On the basic textile mill front — mainly, fibers and fabrics —
for example, analysts at this prestigious economic consulting firm see 2012 earnings jumping an
impressive 36 percent. And by 2013, another good gain is projected — with earnings rising above
levels prevailing in 2010, just before cotton quotes went through the roof. Even more significant,
this expected profit increase actually represents an improvement over the one Global Insight
presented just three months ago. At that time, a somewhat smaller 30-percent profit pickup was
being forecast for the current year. And the picture is equally upbeat for more highly fabricated
mill products like home furnishings and carpets — with solid gains anticipated for 2012 and 2013.
That's again enough to push profits above pre-cotton-run-up 2010 levels. There's even some good
news for the United States' hard-pressed domestic apparel industry — with increases once again
expected to bring earning totals back above 2010 levels. In short, things are beginning to look up.
Or, put another way: There's finally some light at the end of the tunnel.
Costs And Prices
As suggested above, much of the brighter profit picture just outlined can be attributed to
lower costs and firmer prices — a combination that is resulting in a diminishing cost-price
squeeze. The squeeze reached its height a year ago, when cotton, which accounts for as much as 40
percent of many clothing makers' costs, spiraled to more than $2 per pound — more than double that
of a few months earlier. True, prices moved up in response, but not nearly enough to redress the
balance. The result: last year's substantial profit declines. But now, the situation has improved
substantially. Cotton has returned to near its pre-run-up levels, and both textile and apparel
prices are currently running better than 5 percent above year-ago levels. More importantly, odds
are this improved scenario will continue for some time. On the cost front, for example, early 2012
cotton production reports would seem to suggest an ample supply of this key fiber. And as for
prices, while some discounting could well crop up as the year progresses, overall 2012 tags should
manage to pick up some additional small gains. Right now, for example, basic textile mill product
prices could move up another 2 to 3 percent. Factors behind this relatively upbeat price forecast
include: somewhat less competition from imports, where high costs continue to plague overseas
producers — especially in China, where double-digit pay hikes are often the norm; and better
overall demand. On the latter score, U.S. textile mill activity this year, after correcting for
inflation, looks to be up about 1 to 2 percent — making for the third straight year of small gains.
A Longer Look Ahead
Go out a few more years, and again, the outlook doesn't seem all that bad. To be sure,
today's basically small mill and apparel output gains may eventually peter out. On the other hand,
there's little to suggest any further major shrinkage — certainly nothing like some of the
double-digit declines of the past decade. Global Insight's further-out 2014-16 projections, for
example, point to only small annual production falloffs for both basic textile mill products — 3
percent — and apparel — 4 to 5 percent. And there could be some fractional gains for more highly
fabricated textile mill products over this extended period — primarily because of an expected
housing pickup at that time. All of the above are numbers the industry could live with, given both
an improved cost-price structure, and the continuing development of new, improved and more
profitable niche products that should be coming on stream over the next few years. All this shows
up in Global Insight's newly revised profit projections for this period. In all three subsectors,
earnings are expected to remain the same or even move slightly ahead of those projected for 2012
and 2013. True, such more-distant forecasts are always more iffy than those made for the next year
or two. But statistically speaking, based on all of today's available information, they point to
the most likely results. And no matter how you slice it, that's a positive sign.

1. Utilizing our Gifts Properly
At the beginning of Devarim, Moshe Rabbeinu recounts several locations where the Jewish people had traveled – "Arabah, opposite the Sea of Reeds between Paran and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-zahav….." Rashi cites Chazal that Reb. Yochanan researched all of the verses in the Torah and was unable to find the locations mentioned. Rather, the references that are delineated by Moshe are allusions to various failings of the Jewish people from the time of the Exodus until the present. One of the references mentioned by Moshe is "Di-zahav (enough gold)," which Rashi explains was in fact a rebuke to the Jews for failing with the Golden Calf. Rashi cites the Midrash explaining that what Moshe actually said to the Jews was that it was because of the Gold that the Jews failed with the Golden Calf. As it is stated in the verse "I (Hashem) gave them (the Jews) an abundance of Gold and Silver and they went and worshipped the Baal."
The Gemara in Tractate Avodah Zarah tells us that there were two spiritual failings, one on a communal level and one on an individual level. The individual failing that the Gemara refers to is that of Dovid HaMelech (King David) who asked G-d to test him. Although Dovid had totally negated his Evil Inclination he wanted to be challenged with temptation in order to overcome it. He was presented with the temptation of Batsheva (as it is stated in Prophets) and he failed. The example of the communal failing was that the Jewish people failed with the Golden Calf although they were at the pinnacle of their spirituality. Logically the latter should not have taken place given the spiritual level of the people at that moment.
How was it possible that after hearing and experiencing G-d as such a reality, that the Jewish people could succumb to the Sin of the Golden Calf. The answer is that despite their most advanced level of clarity, Hashem allowed them to experience a degree of uncertainty regarding their belief in His Omnipotent Power. The Gemara (Avodah Zarah) explains that creating the setting for the failings of Dovid with Batsheva and the Jewish people with the Golden Calf at Sinai was necessary. These instances set an example for future generations to understand that regardless of the degree of spiritual failing, on an individual or communal level, if one is sincere and does teshuvah (repents) he will be fully reinstated.
The Gemara in Tractate Berachos tells us that after the Golden Calf when G- d wanted to destroy the Jewish people, Moshe Rabbeinu came to their defense by saying "Di-zahav." This means that the Jews cannot be fully faulted for the Sin of the Golden Calf and Hashem is partially responsible. The Gemara compares Hashem's giving of the over abundance of wealth which the Jews possessed at that particular time, to a father who dresses his son in the finest clothing, provides him with perfume which omits the most beautiful fragrance, places a purse of gold around his neck and tells him to pass by the entrance of the brothel and not to enter. Is it possible in that context for the son not to succumb to temptation and enter into the brothel? Identically, Hashem who had given the Jews so much wealth facilitated the state of mind for the Jews to be enticed by the Golden Calf. As a result of Moshe's defense, Hashem agreed not to eliminate the Jewish people.
It is interesting to note that the same words that Moshe used as a point of rebuke, "Di-zahav," when he redressed the Jewish people, were the same words that he used forty years earlier to defend the Jewish people. How do we understand this?
The answer is that both interpretations of "Di-zahav" are valid. Being given this level of overwhelming wealth is like walking a tightrope. On one hand this gift of G-d was meant to be used for the building of the Mishkan where an enormous amount of gold was needed. Being given so much gold enabled the Jews to contribute to the building of the Mishkan without great difficulty. However, simultaneously, there is a possibility that by receiving such an abundance of wealth, the Jews could lose focus by becoming intoxicated by all of this material. However, if one is given so much blessing to facilitate his service of Hashem without great difficulty, how does he use that blessing to bring about such failure? On the other hand, that particular setting which Hashem created for the Jews is the equivalent of putting one's son before a brothel.
The Talmud tells us in Tractate Megillah that Hashem always provides the remedy even before the ailment takes place. As a result of providing this over abundance of wealth for the Jews, Moshe had a basis of defense to avert the destruction of the Jewish people.
Every person has his own test. The wealthy person's trials and tribulations are different than the less fortunate person. The Klal Yisroel had the choice to utilize the blessing in the service of Hashem and the building of the Mishkan, or invest it in an enterprise that was the antithesis of the Will of Hashem. The gift of genius can be used to justify anything that a person chooses to justify. Or it can be used to advance himself and the world around him.
2. What Causes One to be Appreciative and Introspective?
The Portion begins, "Ayleh HaDevarim…(These are the words of Moshe…)." The Commentators explain that the word "Ayleh" has the numerical value of thirty-six indicating that these were the last thirty- six days of Moshe's life. During his last days, Moshe admonished the Jewish people. Rashi cites Chazal that there are four reasons why a person should only give mussar close to the time of his passing. One of the reasons given for this is so the rebuke will not be repeated more than once.
Admonishment is no longer effective when repeated even if it is at the time of the rebuker's passing. This is because the recipient would say, "That is something I have heard before." People value and process new information with more attentiveness than information which they believe they already know. It is because of this that Moshe only gave mussar to Klal Yisroel at the very end of his life.
The Torah relates to us that when Moshe told the Jewish people that they needed to go to war with Midian, they resisted his request because they knew that after the destruction of the Midianite people, Moshe was meant to pass away. Rashi cites the Midrash, which states that we see from this how beloved are the leaders of the Jewish people. When it became evident to them that the passing of Moshe was imminent, they gained a new found appreciation for him. A person only realizes how special something is when he is about to lose it. Although over the forty-year period the Jews were contentious with Moshe and many times behaved in a disrespectful manner, they now understood that his days were numbered and therefore saw him in a different light. Because of the special appreciation which the Jews had for Moshe at this moment they were more attentive to his words of mussar. Thus they were affected to a greater degree.
The Talmud tells us in Tractate Taanis that the three special gifts (continuous flow of water from the wellspring, the Clouds of Glory, and the Mann) that the Jews benefited from in their fortieth year in the desert were in the merit of Moshe. Because of their reality the Jews understood that when Moshe passed away their existence would be in question. Therefore at that moment they were more attentive and receptive to the words of Moshe.
Chazal explain that the Matriarchs (Sarah, Rivka, Rachel, and Leah) were barren because Hashem desires the fervent prayers of the devoutly pious (tzadikim). Even the greatest tzadikim, who are devout and righteous, pray to G-d differently when they have that sense of need. Whatever we have is continuously Willed by Hashem. Therefore if a person realized that his present situation is not guaranteed and that at any moment it could change, then he would be beholden and indebted to Hashem. The question is – how can we put ourselves in a mindset that will allow us not to take things that we have for granted? Unfortunately, it is only when we are in need that we become appreciative and understand the value of what we had just as the Klal Yisroel became attentive and appreciative of Moshe Rabbeinu at the point they were going to lose him.
We must ask ourselves – "Do we have more abundance in our lives than previous generations because of our worthiness? Are we more worthy then they were?" Clearly, this is not the case. Hashem has His reasons for providing us with such bounty, which is not based on our merit. The moment we realize that the blessing we receive from Hashem is not due to us but rather because of his Beneficence, then we would realize that the affluence that our society experiences is not forever. Only then would we become appreciative and beholden to Hashem for his Kindness.
As it is stated in Pirkei Avos (Ethics of Our Fathers) that a person should do teshuvah on the last day of his life. Meaning, we should live every day as if it were the last because then we would realize how precious and ephemeral life truly is.
3. The Importance of Proper Judgment
In the Portion of Devarim, Moshe announces to the Jewish people that he will be appointing judges to assist him in adjudicating their issues. He said, "I cannot carry you alone. Hashem, your G-d, has multiplied you and behold!…Provide for yourselves distinguished men, who are wise, understanding, and well known to your tribes, and I shall appoint them as your heads." Rashi cites Chazal who asks, "Is it possible that Moshe was unable to adjudicate the issues of the Jewish people alone? He was the one who took the Jews out of Egypt, Split the Sea on their behalf, and provided them with the Mann and the sluv (quail) in the desert." Meaning that Moshe had demonstrated that he was a person of unlimited abilities and was able to function in a capacity that was beyond the norm.
Chazal tell us that the reason why Moshe appointed judges to assist him in the adjudication of the Jewish people was because he wished to share the awesome responsibility with other qualified individuals. It was not because it was beyond his ability, but rather because "Hashem holds the judge responsible to give the proper judgment." Shlomo HaMelech (King Solomon), the wisest man to ever live says, "Hashem, who could judge your people who are so difficult." Chazal explain that a Jewish judge is different from a non-Jewish judge because if the latter is corrupt it does not have serious ramifications. However, if a Jewish judge renders a corrupt decision, then Hashem says he will take his life. The standard to which the Jewish judge is held is far beyond that of the non-Jewish judge. The question is why is the corrupt behavior of the Jewish judge so much graver than that of his non-Jewish counterpart?
Chazal state," If there is justice below, there is no need for justice from above. However if there is no justice below, then there will be justice from above." Meaning, that if there is human justice issued by the Court, then there is no need for Divine Justice. However, if the human court does not render proper decisions, then there will be Divine Justice. Rashi in his commentary at the beginning of Sefer Bereishis cites the Midrash which says that Hashem wanted to create the world with the Attribute of Justice. As it is stated in the Torah, "Bereishis bara Elokim (In the beginning G-d created the heavens and the earth)." However G-d recognized that the world could not survive the scrutiny of the Attribute of Justice because it is an exacting level of continuous judgment. Therefore He synthesized the Attributes of Rachamim (Mercy) and Justice and thus established the Attribute of Mercy.
Although the world cannot survive the exactness of Divine Justice, it is a necessity for existence because there must be accountability to maintain order. Therefore Hashem communicated to Man that every society must have a judicial system. If human justice is meted out by the earthly court, there is no need for G-d to introduce His Divine Justice. However, if humankind fails and becomes corrupt, then G-d is forced to institute His Justice to maintain existence
With this principle we are able to understand the Gemara in Tractate Sanhedrin, which states, " A person who renders a truthful judgment is a partner with Hashem in the act of Creation. However if one renders a corrupt decision G-d says – I will take your life." The question is – why is the judge who renders a truthful decision considered G-d's "partner" in creation? The answer is – if the court metes out proper Justice, then G-d says "Since Justice is being implemented on the human level there is no need for Divine Justice to be instituted." However if the converse is true, G-d's Justice is activated and brings about holocaust and destruction. Therefore, the judge who renders the proper and truthful judgment is in fact maintaining the existence of the universe. G-d considers this judge His partner in creation. Conversely, if he is corrupt and deviates from Justice as much as an iota, he deserves to have his life taken because (as slight as the deviation may be) he has disrupted and undermined human justice – thus causing great hardship and suffering for mankind through Divine Justice.
At the time of Sinai when G-d took the Jews as his people, they became responsible for the existence of the universe. The world's ongoing function is determined by the spirituality of the Jewish people. This is why the Jewish people are held to a higher standard. For the same reason, the Jewish judge who is responsible to maintain the standard of judgment and accountability of the world is culpable if he compromises on the standard of justice. This is what Moshe meant when he said, "It is too difficult for me to carry this burden." He referred to the difficulty of having sole responsibility of maintaining justice. Therefore he wanted other qualified judges to be appointed to share in this responsibility.
There is a Positive Commandment that is incumbent on every Jew to judge his fellow properly by giving him the benefit of the doubt. If a Jew does not do this in cases where his fellow's actions are questionable, he is in violation of this Positive Commandment. From this we see that the obligation of rendering proper judgment has relevance even outside of the judicial system. If Jews judge one another positively, then this is considered proper Justice on a human level and there is no need for Divine Justice. Consequently, mankind is a beneficiary of the Mercy of Hashem. On the other hand if we do not judge our fellow properly, this is considered a breach of Justice and then G-d forbid, it can bring about Divine Justice.
4. To See or not to See – That is the Question!
The Torah tells us that Moshe Rabbeinu said to the Jewish people, "Re'eh nasati lifnaychem ha'aretz (You should see, I have given before you the land.)" It is important to note that the word "Re'eh (see)" is written in the singular whereas the word "lifnaychem (before you)" is in the plural. The Ohr HaChaim HaKadosh asks – why is the word "Re'eh (see)" singular while "lifnaychem (before you)" is plural? The Ohr HaChaim answers that if multiple people are able to accurately "see" the same thing they will all see it as the same object or event. However, understanding the significance of what is being seen is based on each individual. We all see the sun rising and we see its light; however, do we truly understand and appreciate its significance? Each person understands this at his own level. This is why "Re'eh" is singular and "lifnaychem" is plural.
It says in the Gemara Tractate Taanis,"When the month of Av enters one should diminish his engagement in joy," because it is a month of tragedy for the Jewish people. The greatest tragedies that ever befell the Jewish people occurred during the month of Av. The Mishnah tells us that five of the greatest tragedies in the history of the Jewish people occurred on the ninth day of Av (Tisha B'Av). The First and Second Temple were destroyed on the ninth day of Av.
The day of Tisha B'Av is devoted to grieving over the destruction of the Bais HaMikdash and reflecting on the cause of its destruction. Through introspection one hopefully will come to a level of realization that will cause him to correct the spiritual deficiency that brought about its destruction. The Jerusalem Talmud tells us that any generation in which the Temple is not rebuilt, it is considered as if it was destroyed. This means that each generation has the ability to correct the wrong which brought about its destruction. If they do not make the correction, it is considered that the Temple was destroyed in that generation.
Although many people acknowledge the ninth of Av as a day of tragedy, each person has his own level of understanding of the true nature of the day. Some may even say," True it is unfortunate that we do not have the Temple, but thank G-d my family is doing quite well." If one would truly appreciate and internalize the tragedy of Tisha B'Av, one could not feel complete without having the Bais HaMikdash restored – regardless of one's success and tranquility in life.
We may all be aware of not having the Bais HaMikdash and living in exile; however, the actual comprehension of this tragedy is very individualized – depending on one's perspective. The Mishna Brurah states that if a child is too young to appreciate or understand what it means to mourn over the loss of Jerusalem, then the parent has no obligation to condition the child in the observance of Tisha B'Av (chinuch). If we today would have Jerusalem under our own control and the Jews in Israel living in relative peace with their Arab neighbors – how would one understand and relate to the meaning of the mourning of the Bais HaMikdash and Jerusalem?
We find in the introduction to Midrash Eichah that when Titus (the Roman Emperor) destroyed the Bais HaMikdash he prided himself that he destroyed G-d's Temple. The Midrash tells us that when Titus was gloating over his victory, Hashem said to him, "You fool! The only reason you were able to destroy Temple was because My Presence left the Temple Mount. You were only destroying stones and wood. It is the equivalent of grinding flour that has already been ground." Meaning, that when the Divine Presence had departed from the Temple Mount, the Temple itself was the equivalent of a pile of stones and dirt. It is only the person who values his relationship with Hashem who could truly appreciate and understand the meaning of not having the Bais HaMikdash.
Dovid HaMelech (King David) in Psalms says, "Who could utter the strength of Hashem to be able to enunciate all of His praise?" The Maharal of Prague explains in the introduction to his work Gevuras Hashem what Dovid is saying. Firstly, it is impossible to fully appreciate or understand (in the quantitative sense) the strength of Hashem because there is so much existence of which we are not aware. Even that which we are aware of, we truly do not comprehend fully enough in order to enunciate the praise of Hashem. Our perspective and understanding is so limited that we are out of touch with most of existence. We see the ocean, but do we know what is contained in its depth? We look up to the heavens and we see stars but do we even begin to fathom the universe? The Mahral explains that there are many things that we do not see and even the things we do see we do not understand. If we "see" an apple, do we appreciate the genius in its creation or the Godliness that is its essence?
This is why Moshe said to the Jewish people "Re'eh (see)" in the singular and "lifnaychem (before you)" in the plural. We all "see" the same world but we all understand it based on our individual capacity. The question is how do we increase our capacity and develop a way to understand the world in a more profound and meaningful manner. King Solomon says in Mishlei, "Ner mitzvah v'Torah ohr (the mitzvah is the material which provides the fuel and the Torah is the light)" meaning the study of Torah gives one the depth and breadth of understanding to be able to appreciate existence. The Torah itself illuminates and elucidates. If a person's life is devoid of Torah study, then although he may be performing the mitzvos, he is lacking in understanding of many things because he does not have the Torah to shed light on his existence.
5. The Incalculable Value of a Mitzvah
The Torah states that Moshe addressed Klal Yisroel by saying," We turned and ascended by way of the Bashan, and Og king of Bashan went out toward us, he and his entire people, for war at Edrei. Hashem said to me: Do not fear him, for in your hand have I given him and his entire people and his land…" Moshe, because of his faith in Hashem feared nothing. When he went to war against Sihon (also a giant), the son of Og, the Torah does not say that Hashem told Moshe not to fear him. However, when Moshe was to confront Og, Hashem assured Moshe with the words "Do not fear him." This indicated that in this case Moshe had to be reassured. Why was Moshe afraid?
Rashi cites Chazal that the reason why Moshe was concerned about Og was because he had a special merit. He earned this for doing a kindness with Avraham Avinu (our Patriarch) hundreds of years prior to this moment. The Torah tells us in Sefer Bereishis (Book of Genesis) that when the Four mightiest Kings defeated the Five Kings, they took Lot, the nephew of Avraham, captive. Og, who narrowly escaped the battle with the Four kings, went to Avraham to inform him that his nephew had been taken captive. Upon hearing the information from Og, Avraham immediately gathered an army of 318 men to rescue Lot. Chazal tell us that in fact 318 is the numerical value of the name Eliezer, who was Avraham's servant. Meaning Avraham only needed to take Eliezer into battle with him. Miraculously, Avraham defeated the Four mighty Kings and rescued his nephew Lot. Since Og provided the information to Avraham (which facilitated Lot's rescue), he was rewarded with longevity and lived until the time of Moshe Rabbeinu.
Chazal tell us that Og's true intention was that Avraham should go into battle and be killed so that he could take Sarah (our Matriarch) as his wife. Og believed that because Avraham was a zealot that he would immediately go into battle to save his nephew regardless of the danger, ultimately causing his death. We see that regardless of Og's sinister intent to have Avraham killed, the Torah tells us that his act of chesed must be rewarded. Og remained alive for an additional 500 years because of this merit. So when Moshe had to confront him, he was concerned that his merit for the chesed (kindness) provided for Avraham was still in effect. Hashem therefore reassured Moshe, "Do not fear him" because that merit no longer exists.
We learn from this that despite the degree of deficiency in the performance of a mitzvah it nevertheless has value. If someone benefits from another's actions, there is merit in that action regardless of the intent behind it. A mitzvah has incalculable value and this is the reason why Mishnah Pirkei Avos tells us that we should even pursue the mitzvos that seem to be of lesser importance.

Down in the Chapel
Title | Down in the Chapel PDF eBook |
Author | Joshua Dubler |
Publisher | Farrar, Straus and Giroux |
Pages | 401 |
Release | 2013-08-13 |
Genre | Religion |
A bold and provocative interpretation of one of the most religiously vibrant places in America—a state penitentiary Baraka, Al, Teddy, and Sayyid—four black men from South Philadelphia, two Christian and two Muslim—are serving life sentences at Pennsylvania's maximum-security Graterford Prison. All of them work in Graterford's chapel, a place that is at once a sanctuary for religious contemplation and an arena for disputing the workings of God and man. Day in, day out, everything is, in its twisted way, rather ordinary. And then one of them disappears. Down in the Chapel tells the story of one week at Graterford Prison. We learn how the men at Graterford pass their time, care for themselves, and commune with their makers. We observe a variety of Muslims, Protestants, Catholics, and others, at prayer and in study and song. And we listen in as an interloping scholar of religion tries to make sense of it all. When prisoners turn to God, they are often scorned as con artists who fake their piety, or pitied as wretches who cling to faith because faith is all they have left. Joshua Dubler goes beyond these stereotypes to show the religious life of a prison in all its complexity. One part prison procedural, one part philosophical investigation, Down in the Chapel explores the many uses prisoners make of their religions and weighs the circumstances that make these uses possible. Gritty and visceral, meditative and searching, it is an essential study of American religion in the age of mass incarceration.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) Region II office has prepared a coastal flood study to update Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for communities in coastal New Jersey and New York. The flood hazards shown on the FIRM are used to determine flood insurance rates and requirements and where floodplain development regulations apply. The updated maps will help communities plan for and reduce the risk from flooding in the future. Start taking steps now to keep your communities and families safe from flood risk:
Understand the risk of flooding in your area so that you know how future floods may affect you and if specific flood insurance and building requirements apply to your property (or will apply in the future.) View the preliminary FIRMs to find out your flood risk.
Learn about your role in the map update process as a community official or as a homeowner, renter, or business owner and how you can reduce flood risk to your home and in your community.
Use FEMA flood hazard data to make informed decisions to reduce your flood risk and for rebuilding and recovery efforts. Then share your story with others so they can learn from your experience.

- file format notation
Utility descriptions use a syntax to describe the data organization within files—stdin, stdout, stderr, input files, and output files—when that organization is not otherwise obvious. The syntax is similar to that used by the printf(3C) function. When used for stdin or input file descriptions, this syntax describes the format that could have been used to write the text to be read, not a format that could be used by the scanf(3C) function to read the input file.
The description of an individual record is as follows:
"<format>", [<arg1>, <arg2>, . . ., <argn>]
The format is a character string that contains three types of objects defined below:
Characters that are not escape sequences or conversion specifications, as described below, are copied to the output.
Represent non-graphic characters.
Specifies the output format of each argument. (See below.)
The following characters have the following special meaning in the format string:
(An empty character position.) One or more blank characters.
Exactly one space character.
The notation for spaces allows some flexibility for application output. Note that an empty character position in format represents one or more blank characters on the output (not white space, which can include newline characters). Therefore, another utility that reads that output as its input must be prepared to parse the data using scanf(3C), awk(1), and so forth. The character is used when exactly one space character is output.
The following table lists escape sequences and associated actions on display devices capable of the action.
Each conversion specification is introduced by the percent-sign character (%). After the character %, the following appear in sequence:
Zero or more flags, in any order, that modify the meaning of the conversion specification.
An optional string of decimal digits to specify a minimum field width. For an output field, if the converted value has fewer bytes than the field width, it is padded on the left (or right, if the left-adjustment flag (-), described below, has been given to the field width).
Gives the minimum number of digits to appear for the d, o, i, u, x or X conversions (the field is padded with leading zeros), the number of digits to appear after the radix character for the e and f conversions, the maximum number of significant digits for the g conversion; or the maximum number of bytes to be written from a string in s conversion. The precision takes the form of a period (.) followed by a decimal digit string; a null digit string is treated as zero.
A conversion character (see below) that indicates the type of conversion to be applied.
The flags and their meanings are:
The result of the conversion is left-justified within the field.
The result of a signed conversion always begins with a sign (+ or -).
If the first character of a signed conversion is not a sign, a space character is prefixed to the result. This means that if the space character and + flags both appear, the space character flag is ignored.
The value is to be converted to an alternative form. For c, d, i, u, and s conversions, the behaviour is undefined. For o conversion, it increases the precision to force the first digit of the result to be a zero. For x or X conversion, a non-zero result has 0x or 0X prefixed to it, respectively. For e, E, f, g, and G conversions, the result always contains a radix character, even if no digits follow the radix character. For g and G conversions, trailing zeros are not removed from the result as they usually are.
For d, i, o, u, x, X, e, E, f, g, and G conversions, leading zeros (following any indication of sign or base) are used to pad to the field width; no space padding is performed. If the 0 and - flags both appear, the 0 flag is ignored. For d, i, o, u, x and X conversions, if a precision is specified, the 0 flag is ignored. For other conversions, the behaviour is undefined.
Each conversion character results in fetching zero or more arguments. The results are undefined if there are insufficient arguments for the format. If the format is exhausted while arguments remain, the excess arguments are ignored.
The conversion characters and their meanings are:
The integer argument is written as signed decimal (d or i), unsigned octal (o), unsigned decimal (u), or unsigned hexadecimal notation (x and X). The d and i specifiers convert to signed decimal in the style [-]dddd. The x conversion uses the numbers and letters 0123456789abcdef and the X conversion uses the numbers and letters 0123456789ABCDEF. The precision component of the argument specifies the minimum number of digits to appear. If the value being converted can be represented in fewer digits than the specified minimum, it is expanded with leading zeros. The default precision is 1. The result of converting a zero value with a precision of 0 is no characters. If both the field width and precision are omitted, the implementation may precede, follow or precede and follow numeric arguments of types d, i and u with blank characters; arguments of type o (octal) may be preceded with leading zeros.
The treatment of integers and spaces is different from the printf(3C) function in that they can be surrounded with blank characters. This was done so that, given a format such as:
the implementation could use a printf() call such as:
printf("%6d\n", foo);
and still conform. This notation is thus somewhat like scanf() in addition to printf( ).
The floating point number argument is written in decimal notation in the style [-]ddd.ddd, where the number of digits after the radix character (shown here as a decimal point) is equal to the precision specification. The LC_NUMERIC locale category determines the radix character to use in this format. If the precision is omitted from the argument, six digits are written after the radix character; if the precision is explicitly 0, no radix character appears.
The floating point number argument is written in the style [-]d.ddde±dd (the symbol ± indicates either a plus or minus sign), where there is one digit before the radix character (shown here as a decimal point) and the number of digits after it is equal to the precision. The LC_NUMERIC locale category determines the radix character to use in this format. When the precision is missing, six digits are written after the radix character; if the precision is 0, no radix character appears. The E conversion character produces a number with E instead of e introducing the exponent. The exponent always contains at least two digits. However, if the value to be written requires an exponent greater than two digits, additional exponent digits are written as necessary.
The floating point number argument is written in style f or e (or in style E in the case of a G conversion character), with the precision specifying the number of significant digits. The style used depends on the value converted: style g is used only if the exponent resulting from the conversion is less than -4 or greater than or equal to the precision. Trailing zeros are removed from the result. A radix character appears only if it is followed by a digit.
The integer argument is converted to an unsigned char and the resulting byte is written.
The argument is taken to be a string and bytes from the string are written until the end of the string or the number of bytes indicated by the precision specification of the argument is reached. If the precision is omitted from the argument, it is taken to be infinite, so all bytes up to the end of the string are written.
Write a % character; no argument is converted.
In no case does a non-existent or insufficient field width cause truncation of a field; if the result of a conversion is wider than the field width, the field is simply expanded to contain the conversion result. The term field width should not be confused with the term precision used in the description of %s.
One difference from the C function printf() is that the l and h conversion characters are not used. There is no differentiation between decimal values for type int, type long, or type short. The specifications %d or %i should be interpreted as an arbitrary length sequence of digits. Also, no distinction is made between single precision and double precision numbers (float or double in C). These are simply referred to as floating point numbers.
Many of the output descriptions use the term line, such as:
"%s", <input line>
Since the definition of line includes the trailing newline character already, there is no need to include a \n in the format; a double newline character would otherwise result.
Example 1 To represent the output of a program that prints a date and time in the form Sunday, July 3, 10:02, where <weekday> and <month> are strings:
Example 2 To show pi written to 5 decimal places:
"pi/\=/\%.5f\n",<value of pi>
Example 3 To show an input file format consisting of five colon-separated fields:

PACKF(1mh) | PACKF(1mh) |
packf - pack messages in nmh folder into a single file
packf [-help] [-version] [+folder] [msgs] [-file name] [-mbox] [-mmdf]
packf will pack copies of messages from a folder, into a single file.
If the -mbox switch is given (the default), then the messages are separated using mbox (uucp) style delimiters. This is the format used by most mail clients (elm, mailx, etc.).
If the -mmdf switch is given, then the messages are separated by mmdf style delimiters. Each message in the file is separated by four CTRL-A's and a newline.
You may specify the name of the file in which to pack messages with the -file name switch. If you do not specify the name of the file, it will default to "msgbox".
If the given file name points to an existing file, then the specified messages will be appended to the end of the file, otherwise the file will be created and the messages appended.
packf makes an mbox-style delimiter by examining the first line of the message. If the first line is a "Return-Path" field, its address and the current date and time are used. Otherwise, if the first line has an "X-Envelope-From" field, its contents (which should already be in the correct format) are used. Otherwise, a dummy address and the current date and time are used.
Messages that are packed by packf can be unpacked using inc.
