Q: Applescript: How to paste RTF on clipboard to email on Apple Mail? I made an Alfred workflow to convert my markdown (.md) notes to RTF and automatically add to my clipboard using pandoc in a bash script. Now that my notes are on the clipboard I want to offer the option to paste the RTF in the clipboard into a new email with the Alfred workflow. Alfred runs osascript so I have been using the Script Editor on Mac to create my script. I have this so far:
set clipContent to the clipboard

tell application "Mail"
    set newMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, subject:"[NOTES] "}
    make new cc recipient at newMessage with properties {address:"EmailAddress"}
    set newMessage's content to clipContent
    activate
end tell

But I get this error message
Mail got an error: Can't make {«class RTF »:«data RTF
Any suggestions on what is happening?
Thanks
M

A: @vadian is partly correct in that, although Mail's AppleScript dictionary states that the content property of an outgoing message is rich text, it appears that one can only set the property using plain text.
I think you're best best to achieve what you want is to use GUI scripting in order to get the system ⌘V (paste) the rich text directly into the text area of the email on your behalf.  It's not ideal, but it works:
tell application "Mail"
    activate

    set newMessage to make new outgoing message ¬
        with properties {visible:true, subject:"[NOTES] "}

    make new cc recipient at newMessage ¬
        with properties {address:"EmailAddress"}
end tell

tell application "System Events"
    tell process "Mail" to tell ¬
        window 1 to tell ¬
        scroll area 1 to tell ¬
        UI element 1 to set ¬
        focused to true

    keystroke "v" using command down
    keystroke return
end tell

Creator: Van Metre, Maurice E.
Abstract: Maurice E. Van Metre (1895-1970) was a popular Cleveland, Ohio, journalist who served as theater and radio-television critic and gossip columnist for the Cleveland News and suburban Sun newspapers. During World War II, he published "The Dirt at the News", a monthly newsletter for Cleveland members of the armed forces, which included the whereabouts and experiences of Cleveland servicemen, especially 120 former News employees. The collection consists almost entirely of letters to Van Metre from friends and former co-workers who subscribed to The Dirt at the News. These letters represent a portion of those Van Metre compiled and edited into his entertaining miniature newspaper and include letters from many well-known persons, providing insights into the war-time experiences of servicemen at home, as well as the battlefront. Also included are some printed materials relating to Van Metre and his newsletter.

"Jewish Life in Themar"
by Achim Hess for Rennsteig.tv
"On November 9 2015, Themar remembered its Jewish citizens. The artist Gunter Demnig laid more Stolperstein, to remind people of the crimes committed against the Jewish population. Dr. Sharon Meen from Canada, who has been researching the fates of the of the Jewish community of Themar for years, was in Themar as was Dr. Blanca Schorcht, also from Canada. Schorcht is the granddaughter of Theme's earlier mayor, Fritz Schorcht."
The video above — in German — highlights the events of 9 November 2015 in Themar. Eighteen members of the Jewish families of Themar came to the small city for the laying of the Stolpersteine for two families: the S. J. Baer family at Markt 8 and the Max and Clara Müller family at Meiningerstrasse (shown in image below). The Stolpersteine were laid at noon: at Markt 8, Carole Karlsruher (formerly Hannah Karola Plaut), born in Themar in the mid-1930s, and Richard Stern, eldest son of Bert Stern, spoke on behalf of their families. As well, Gabriela Klose spoke on behalf of her mother, Liselotte Hegler. Mrs. Hegler had been an apprentice in the S. J. Baer store and remembered Selma Stern as both an excellent supervisor as well as a wonderful human being; she sponsored the Stoperstein for Selma Stern to honour Selma's memory. Reuven Mor and his son Isaak spoke on behalf of the Müller family at Meiningerstrasse 17; Reuven is the son of Willi Müller. He spoke in Hebrew and Isaak in English and Rolf Lengemann assisted with the English translation. In the afternoon, family members visited the City Archives, where Ralf Kammerdiener and Sharon Meen presented some of the many records available that tell us about the lives of the Jewish families in Themar from the mid-1850s to 1943. In the evening, at the annual commemorative event for "Kristallnacht," family members and Sharon Meen shared their knowledge and memories of what happened in Themar on 9/10 November 1938.
As well, Achim Hess interviewed Hubert Böse, Sharon Meen and Blanca Schorcht. Hubert Böse and Sharon Meen discussed their engagement with the history of the Jewish community in Themar since 2008, the importance of connection with the descendants of the Jewish families, and their hopes for ongoing partnership between the city and the historian. Blanca Schorcht described her search for understanding the role played by her grandfather, Dr. Fritz Schorcht, as mayor of Themar during the Nazi period, and reported on some findings that have resulted from her enquiries.

Unchecked anxiety can take control and affect our capacity to make decisions and our quality of life.
People who struggle with anxiety often experience a sense of dread or a feeling of being overwhelmed and lost. Anxiety manifests in many ways and has different root causes.
It is important to know that anxiety can be a natural and normal reaction at times of challenge and even danger. The response to challenge or perceived danger is adrenalin-driven and reactive, bringing body and mind into a survivor mode. This can, for instance, trigger the capacity for quick decision making but should only be a short-term experience.
The source of this anxiety can be the fear of the unknown, a lack of control or the sensation of not having enough time. Most experiences of anxiety are triggered by our own thinking and a consciousness of ourselves.
Traumatic and stressful events can also cause anxiety; Studies show they have the potential to upset and change brain chemistry and affect your ability to react to certain environments. Often, there are triggers for an anxiety attack or recurring bouts of anxiety, including subconscious emotions or substance dependencies. Specific phobias, panic attacks and hyper-vigilance or irrational fears are just some examples of some challenging manifestations of anxiety.
The Leone Centre's anxiety counselling London will be able to work with you to identify the source of your struggles whilst helping you build a foundation for managing anxiety.
Our collaborative approach to managing anxiety also aims to reach the source of your challenges. From here, we can begin to implement positive change and reduce anxiety's continual impact on your life. Targeting the root issue is the best way to see long term improvements.
Working with professionals to manage anxiety will help identify the source of your feelings and whether they are a part of a recurring anxiety cycle. Consulting a professional anxiety counsellor will ensure you address intrinsic beliefs, thought patterns and the triggers of your anxiety, rather than just a quick-fix for the symptoms of your struggles. Our anxiety therapists are integrative in their approach, using different counselling methods to understand and modify automatic thought processes that might be feeding irrational feelings, dread, worry and anxiety.
Our professional anxiety counsellors will also work with some stress management techniques, EFT and Matrix Re-Imprinting approaches paying attention to the mental, emotional and physical manifestations of anxiety. Similarly, we hope to provide you some of the foundations and mechanisms to manage anxiety in the future.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an educational and practical approach that works well to manage anxiety. It looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and consequent behaviour and choices. CBT for anxiety can connect unknown physical symptoms with anxious thoughts or root causes. Anxiety is often affected by current stresses as well as past traumas, thus CBT is an effective route for managing anxiety as well as being NHS recommended. At the Leone Centre, we aim to address the root of any symptoms directly and use an approach to ensure we help you the best way we can.
At referral and initial point of contact, Leone Centre will allocate a counsellor who will work using multiple disciplines within a collaborative and explorative approach. We understand that the healing process is not one-size-fits-all and that there is no best therapy for anxiety for everyone. As a comprehensive counselling and multi-specialist service, we are also able to help you with relationships and other dependencies that may be been impacted by anxiety.
The Leone Centre offer counselling, EFT and Matrix Re-imprinting when working with anxiety from our locations across London.
Our associates are available seven days a week from 7am to 10pm with practices located in Belgravia and Putney, Battersea, Chelsea and our head office is in Fulham.
Get in touch to start understanding and working with anxiety so that you can improve the quality of your life, today.


@SwiftOnSecurity @nytimes That was one whiny ragequit. He's epically wrong on almost all technical points.
Other points essentially focused upon more adoption which willake the currently congested Chinese Bitcoin activity dilute itself worldwide. Another point would be that a community given an open source technology is guaranteed to make innovations that eventually push bitcoin as valuable monetary asset. The tech exists and much of its advancement lies on its application.
BTCX, as i represent, has also has written a respons on this matter, many has doomed bitcoin as dead before and has been proven wrong, I am quite confident that bitcoin will survive this aswell.


Please follow this link for the webinar recording. Please note that due to a technical error, there is a pause in the recording between 18:10 minutes and 19:50 minutes. Please use the slider to fast forward through this break in the audio.
See below for a transcript of the session.
Emily: In the UK, companies are currently subject to the Data Protection Act 1998, which implements the EU Data Protection Directive, and the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PEC Regs). The EU Data Protection Directive is due to be replaced by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with effect from 25 May 2018. The GDPR governs the use of data of European citizens. Now despite the result of the June referendum, the government has confirmed that the UK will be implementing the GDPR, as we will continue to be a member of the EU in 2018. A "Great Repeal Bill" has been promised, through which all European laws will be transposed into English law on the day of exit, and then some laws will be kept, amended or removed altogether. So there's a question over how the GDPR will look post Brexit and if companies will need to stop complying with the GDPR altogether. The UK's Information Commissioner has acknowledged this uncertainty but has said that these concerns should not distract from the task of complying with the GDPR by 2018.
What's the message for retailers?
Emily: UK retailers will need to comply with the GDPR if they wish to continue trading with or conduct profiling of European based customers. The message seems to be to keep calm and carry on preparing for the GDPR. As we know, capturing and using customer data is of vital importance to businesses as data is used to make a variety of decisions. Specifically within the retail and e-commerce sectors, data underpins a product's journey from seller to a consumer and influences the marketing of products, which, if done successfully, can greatly enhance the value of the company's brand.
Sven: In order to identify what product to sell and how to sell it to customers, sellers may choose to track customers' browsing habits, identify what items are bought, placed in shopping baskets and which adverts customers respond to well. Once they've done this, companies can gain an idea of an individual's profiles, their behaviour and predict their personal preferences.
How will the law around targeted and non-targeted advertising change under the GDPR?
Under the GDPR, this level of data processing and automated customer profiling does present an elevated level of risk. Companies need to be clear from the outset about the benefits and aims of this level of profiling, as well as the impact on individuals' privacy.
Sven: However, as if companies do not have enough to worry about with the GDPR, the European Directive (the ePrivacy Directive), which underpins the PEC Regs, is also undergoing reform. The reform has come about due to the need to align the ePrivacy Directive with the GDPR and to tackle developments in technology (such as instant messaging). Just by way of example, "consent" for direct marketing is one of the areas where we can expect change. The ePrivacy Directive requires a customer's clear consent before a company can send them any direct marketing. However, the GDPR currently states that one of the ways in which data processing will be lawful is where it "is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests" of the data controller (i.e. the seller) except where such interests are overridden by the rights of the data subject. The GDPR recitals then give direct marketing as a potential example of pursuing legitimate interests.
So already there's a slight disconnect between the GDPR (where you may not require consent) and the ePrivacy Directive where you very likely need consent. We're therefore expecting "consent" to be one of the areas which changes, following the ePrivacy Directive's reform.
When can we expect to know more about the ePrivacy Directive changes?
Sven: The European Commission's public consultation ended in July 2016 and so we expect to hear further from the Commission about the changes in this space. In the meantime, the message to everyone is to not change your direct marketing processes just yet, but to remain on the lookout for future developments in this area.
Sven: Online purchases have been a robust trend for some time now and so sellers will need to ensure that that their websites are suitably presented and operated to take advantage of our love for online shopping. Websites need adequate cookie banners and privacy policies, clarifying the use of any customer data by the seller. Their privacy policies should make clear what cookies are being used, how intrusive these cookies are and the nature of the data that is collected. Sellers should also make clear how they propose to use any personal data collected from customers.
Will this change under the GDPR?
Emily: Under the GDPR, privacy policies must contain the prescribed list of requirements set out at Articles 12, 13 and 14 of the GDPR (such as the period of data retention). Companies need to also provide customers with a clear and transparent explanation of how their data will be processed, and allow customers to give their consent. The ICO has recently suggested that businesses should first map out how information flows through their organisations to help them decide what needs to be included in their privacy policies.
Sven: Under the GDPR, "consent" must be a clear and unambiguous indication of the customer's wishes, and can either be in the form of a statement or a clear affirmative action which indicates the customer's agreement to their personal data being processed. There's a higher "consent" threshold to achieve if you are processing sensitive data (such as religious beliefs, biometric data or political opinions) or are performing any form of customer profiling. Here "explicit" is required.
What will constitute a "clear and unambiguous indication" that a customer agrees to the privacy and cookies policies?.
(ii) what will happen if customers give consent (i.e. scope and consequence of data processing).
Now "affirmative action" could be anything from ticking a box to clicking a button to engaging with the webpage.
How companies can best tackle this?
Emily: One way to tackle this is by providing an explanation of all the different types of processing which happens and allow users to simply indicate whether they agree to each type of processing or not. You can do this by using an un-ticked opt in box or a Yes/No button for each reason. A privacy dashboard is quite a good way of presenting these various processing options and can be used by users to alter their consent settings.
If privacy and cookie policies start becoming quite long in their explanations about how data is collected and used, is there a danger they could end up actually being more unclear than clear?
Emily: Yes, that is a danger! The ICO in its most recent consultation on privacy notices acknowledged that quite a few people flagged the potential conflict between providing the extra information but meeting the GDPR's requirement for clarity.
What can companies do to try and best balance the need to provide information with the need to maintain clarity?
Alternatively companies can think about using "just in time" notices. These give a message when the user provides information, about how that information will be used. For example, if a customer provides her email address as part of an online transaction, a "just in time" notice could pop up explaining that the email address will be used to provide confirmation of the order, with a link to further information if the customer wants to know more.
Finally, companies need to consider how people will view the privacy notices from portable devices to ensure that the notices remain readable. The layered approach is likely to work best here, given the smaller space which companies have to display their information.
Sven: In Germany, we have received some guidance on the re-cycling of consents under the GDPR by the Düsseldorf Circle, which is a committee of German data protection authorities. The resolution states that "in principle" consent collected under the Data Protection Directive will remain valid if the manner in which the consent has been given is in line with the conditions of the GDPR. The resolution points out that it is not necessary that the extensive obligations on providing information to the data subject in Article 13 of the GDPR were fulfilled at the time the consent was obtained. It also highlights that consents do not remain valid if they were not freely given or if the age requirement was not met. The resolution is comforting for companies that have obtained German-style consents in the past. However, it also leaves questions open. We, therefore recommend that companies should now update their consent language to fully meet the requirements under the GDPR.
How do sellers currently process customer payment details in order to complete the transaction?
Emily: At the moment sellers can rely on the second condition for data processing which is that it is necessary for the performance of a contract (i.e. without the customer's financial and personal data being processed, the customer will not be able to complete the transaction). Sellers can also rely on the reason that processing such data is pursuant to their necessary legitimate interests (i.e. for fraud prevention purposes). Therefore, customer consent is not required.
Emily: No, sellers can still rely on these reasons under the GDPR. However, as there are direct obligations on data processors under the GDPR, sellers will have to ensure that their agreements with payment processors are GDPR compliant. For example, Article 28 sets out a list of requirements that need to be included in a contract between a data controller and processor, such as the duration of the processing and the type of personal data.
Sven: As these obligations kick in where any processing is carried out on behalf of a controller, these requirements will affect not just payment processing providers but also other processors, for example hosting providers. It may therefore take a bit of time for sellers to work through their relevant supplier contracts to see if their payment processing agreements need to be updated, and so we'd suggest that companies start doing this as soon as possible.
(2) whether the use of the personal data is within the reasonable expectation of the individual.
Is the extent to which sellers are transparent about their proposed use of customer data is achieved by how clear their privacy policies are?
Emily: Yes, that's correct. Sellers need to be transparent not just to comply with current legal requirements but also for reputational reasons. There are quite a few examples of how this can go terribly wrong for sellers, most notably the US retailer Target and its marketing of baby related items. It's also been reported that many customers prefer not to give any personal data to retailers, believing that large scale data collection and analysis is "creepy". Sellers therefore need to find the right balance between data collection and transparency.
How can sellers go about analysing customer data on a large scale in compliance with the current regulations?
Emily: Sellers have to make sure that customer consent is freely given, specific and informed for this analysis. People must be able to understand what the organisation is going to do with their data and there must be a clear indication that they consent to it. If a company collects personal data for one reason and then starts to analyse it for completely different reason, it needs to make its customers aware of this and maybe seek fresh consent. Companies should also give customers the opportunity to withdraw their consent for their data to be processed.
Does this change the GDPR?
Emily: Yes as the GDPR places a notable emphasis on transparency. In order to best prepare for, sellers need to be clear about how, when and why they use customer data. This may take time to do, as companies may not necessarily have all this information at their fingertips. In fact a study in September 2016 found that 71% of retailers surveyed did not always know where their customer data is located a. A privacy impact assessment is a good way to approach this issue, as it will help identify where data is located.
What are the risks for sellers with regard to data breaches, and what action should they be taking?
Sven: The level of fines is definitely a risk for companies under the GDPR. I think everyone is probably aware of the terrifying prospect that a company could face fines of €20 million or up to 4% of worldwide turnover, whichever the greater, for certain breaches of the GDPR and €10 million or up to 2% of worldwide turnover, whichever the greater, for security breaches. It remains to be seen if the authorities will actually use the entire scope of fines that has been provided.
A Retail Week survey in 2015 found that 15% of surveyed retailers confessed that they had lost customer data more than four times, and more than a fifth of retailers had been hacked. Companies therefore need to have sufficiently robust systems in place to prevent data breaches. Once companies have a data breach plan in place, it is imperative that they continuously review and update it. It is also important that companies actually understand their security tactics and are prepared to implement their plans; not just viewing having a sufficient data breach plan as a part of a tick box exercise.
The GDPR also introduces rules around how companies must respond to data breaches (for example, breaches must be reported to the appropriate authorities within 72 hours and to the data subject without undue delay, where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to the rights and freedoms of the data subject in order to allow him or her to take the necessary precautions). Companies therefore need to properly brief and prepare their various internal teams, and not just rely on their PR teams and lawyers to handle actual, or potential, breaches.
Are there any other ways in which retailers need to be prepared for the GDPR?
Sven: Companies need to become comfortable with the new data subject rights that are introduced by the GDPR, such as the "right to be forgotten" , "right to restrict processing" and "right of data portability" . This means having processes in place to notify any third parties, that have received customer data, that the customer has exercised this right, and maintaining clear systems to capture and control customer data. If companies don't have these sorts of systems in place, they may waste countless hours searching to locate the data of those customers who have exercised their new rights.
Emily: Companies should also embrace "privacy by design" as early as possible. If a company wants to launch a new initiative (such as a new promotional campaign), using "privacy by design" will help to identify any data risks, solutions and workarounds. A privacy impact assessment is a good place to start to embrace "privacy by design" as it will help identity the unforeseen uses of information, what steps you can take to mitigate these risks and whether the risks are then eliminated, reduced or accepted.
Sven: Companies need to also be able to demonstrate compliance with the GDPR requirements (known as the "accountability" principle). Therefore companies will need to keep records of their processing activities (purposes of processing, categories of data, details of international transfers) which will be quite time consuming to manage. Finally companies may also need to appoint a data protection officer if they are planning to carry out large scale systematic monitoring of individuals (e.g. online behaviour tracking).
Emily: Finally retailers should not be scared of the GDPR. Yes, digesting all of the new regulation may be overwhelming however, retailers should take this as a good opportunity to review their internal systems. Doing so may generate a daunting to-do list but retailers are strongly urged to start this process now and use it as a learning opportunity.
How should the process of companies getting ready for the GDPR look like?
First, companies should capture the status quo. In this phase companies should assess their resources and determine a timeline for the implementation process. Companies should use questionnaires to identify all relevant data processing measures in the company and to obtain relevant documentation.
The second step is the gap analysis in which companies need to identify the gaps that need to be filled to become GDPR compliant and assess potential risks.
The fourth and final step is the validation phase. Companies should start getting ready for the GDPR now if they haven´t done so in the past. You only have 540 days left until the GDPR enters into force. However, if we get rid of all the weekends and holidays, there are only 367 days left until May 25, 2018 and that is not a lot of time! We run a series of webinars on the GDPR which offer further information and guidance on getting ready over this next year, so please do take a look.
Does harmonisation mean that multinational companies do not have to look at national data protection laws anymore?
Sven: Unfortunately the answer is "no". While the GDPR will be binding for all for all member states, it does not really provide the full harmonization that everyone was hoping for. Various opening clauses provide member states with the option to introduce additional national provisions to further specify the application of the GDPR. The German Federal Ministry of the Interior has been among the first legislators to draft such an act to supplement the GDPR. This new German Data Protection Act includes additional provisions regarding data protection officers, the rights of data subjects, data processing in the context of employment and fines. We expect to see draft acts to become public in other member states soon. Companies that want to get ready for the new data protection regime should therefore not only focus on the GDPR, but on national laws that will be introduced in the next 18 months as well.

Darlene Cates, who played Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio's mum in cult classic What's Eating Gilbert Grape has sadly passed away aged 69.
The actresses' family states she died peacefully in her sleep, with her daughter announcing her death on Facebook.
The actress – who was discovered by the movie's screenwriter, Peter Hedges, after seeing her on an episode of the talk show Sally Jessy Raphael entitled Too Heavy to Leave Their House – played an obese mother who never quite got over her husband's suicide in the movie.
Hedges said at the time that after watching Darlene openly discussing how a pelvic infection caused her to gain 150 pounds, he knew she's be perfect for the role of the mostly housebound Bonnie Grape.
Despite the success of Gilbert – the film earned Leo his first Oscar nomination – Darlene only went on to appear in a handful of other roles including guest spots on Touched by an Angel and Picket Fences.
And in a touching tribute to his on-screen mum, Leo is said to have written a note to the actress praising her work on the film, states People.
'I'm not really the best in expressing my words in writing but you are the most special person I have ever [met]. I'll always remember you as the best acting mamma I ever had. You triumphed in your role,' he said at the time.
She leaves behind husband Robert Cates, a former US Marine and a daughter and two grown-up sons, as well as four grandchildren.
Darlene was said to have just finished filming a movie called Billboard with Eric Roberts at the time of her death.

If getting your baby to sleep is a singing, rocking and jiggling process that's exhausting the whole family, you may want to consider sleep training. "The process involves teaching your baby a new way of going to sleep, usually from being rocked or fed to sleep to falling asleep in her crib," says Jodi Mindell, Ph.D., author of Sleep Deprived No More (Da Capo Press).
Experts suggest sleep training when your baby is older than 4 months and is not sick, attempting a major developmental milestone or going through separation anxiety. Training methods differ, but the crucial thing is to pick one and stick to it for at least a week. A review of 52 studies of sleep training methods published in the journal Sleep found that all the techniques were effective when parents were consistent.
Most training methods suggest you put your baby down drowsy but awake, then check in with him at regular intervals until he falls asleep. The hardest part, warns sleep coach Jill Spivak, LCSW, co-author of The Sleepeasy Solution (HCI), will be fighting your natural urge to "rescue" and soothe your baby to sleep. "When babies are first learning how to self-soothe, they are frustrated because they don't know how to put themselves to sleep," says Spivak. "Frustration equals crying."
She suggests handling crying with verbal reassurance ("Sweetie, go to sleep. We love you."), but says lingering or touching will cause your child to think he's going to be picked up and prolong crying. The good news? If you're consistent in one method (including for naps and nighttime wake-ups) the duration and intensity of tears should taper off dramatically within a few nights. If you've tried sleep training without success, you may want to call in a pro. A sleep coach will analyze your baby's routine, help you pinpoint what's disrupting sleep, and develop a schedule for naps and bedtime. Look for individuals who are early childhood education professionals with experience in sleep training.
Prepare your child's room: Darkness (an 8 or 9 on a scale of 10) and quiet are musts. A fan or white-noise machine is great for blocking household noise.
Same time, same place: Keep your nighttime ritual iron-clad and stick to an early bedtime (between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.) so your baby goes down tired, but not frazzled.
Take notes: Record when you checked on your child and how long crying lasted each night and during wake-ups. Tracking progress will help you stay motivated.

Marry Me — which starred Casey Wilson and Ken Marino as a newly engaged couple — was benched in February to make room for Undateable's sophomore season.
Are you bummed there won't be a Season 2?

Q: Handling escape sequences in a Telnet session I'm borrowing a short C code that establishes a telnet session using a child-parent scheme and handles the communication between both processes through a pseudo terminal device.
The code runs pretty fine but with one major flaw, the telnet process doesn't execute most escape sequences, printing them instead (ESC prints ^[[, arrows ^[[A ^[[B ^[[C ^[[D, etc.).
I've already done quite a bit of research now but I couldn't find any good resources explaining how should you treat or pass the user input so the end process gets to interpret special codes appropriately, thus achieving a truly interactive session.
The base code: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15117414/pty.c

A: I solved the problem and now I'm finally able to share the answer to my question.
The file descriptor which has to be turned to raw mode is the standard input of the parent process, not the slave end of the pseudo terminal device:
new_term_settings = slave_orig_term_settings;
cfmakeraw(&new_term_settings);
tcsetattr(0, TCSANOW, &new_term_settings);

This way the parent process passes all user input untouched to the child, who already knows how to deal with those special characters and parses them accordingly.

N1.5billion Fraud: Senator Peter Nwaoboshi Loses To Federal Gov't Property He Fraudulently Purchased From Delta State
The Federal High Court in Lagos on Monday ordered the temporary forfeiture of a 12-storey building at 27 Marine Road, Apapa, belonging to Senator Peter Nwaoboshi (PDP-Delta North Senatorial District), until the conclusion of investigations.
The order followed an application by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and argued by its counsel, George Chia-yakua, against Senator Nwaoboshi and his two companies: Golden Touch Construction Project Limited, and Bilderberg Enterprises Limited.
Urging the court to grant the application, the EFCC counsel told the court that the application was pursuant to section 44(2)(k) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended), and Sections 28 and 29 of the EFCC (Establishment) Act 2004.
He further told the court that the commission had received a petition from the anti-corruption group, 'Anti-Corruption and Integrity Forum', against the senator and his companies, alleging money-laundering against the Senator, who is the chairman of the Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs.
In an affidavit in support of the application, Garuba Yusuf Abubakar stated that upon receiving the petition, several investigations were commenced with a view to tracing the movement of funds suspected to be proceeds of illegal activities, the source of funds, and the beneficiaries. Included in the inquiry were the Code of Conduct Bureau, banks, the Delta State Governor's office, the Delta State Tenders Board, the Nigeria Customs Service, the Lagos State Ministry of Lands, the Federal Inland Revenue Service, and the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC),
The deponent stated that sometime in 2010, the Tender Boards of Delta State awarded a contract to the Senator's second company, Bilderberg Enterprises Limited, to purchase new construction equipment for the Delta State Direct Labour Agency, for N1.580 billion. But rather than buying new equipment, the company only imported and supplied used equipment to the agency, although the state government fully paid for new ones.
Mr. Abubakar further stated that the investigation revealed that the Senator moved the proceeds to various accounts linked to him, and his company bided and bought the said 12-storey building known as "Guinea House" in Apapa for N805 million, with the used of his first company, Golden Touch Construction Project Limited, adding that response from the Secretary of Delta State government shows the sale of the building was to the Senator's company.
He further stated that in the assets declaration form submitted the Code of Conduct Bureau in June 2015, Senator Nwaoboshi claimed he acquired the said property Apapa through being a Director of Golden Touch Construction Projects Limited, a claim that was contradicted by the Corporate Affairs Commission, which revealed that the Senator is neither a shareholder nor a director of the company. Similarly, Nwanbuoku Ike and Emma Ekpon, the purported directors and shareholders, in their judicial statements denied knowledge of being directors and shareholders of the company, affirming that the presence of their names in the CAC documents was forged.
The deponent also averred that further investigation revealed that the Senator's Bank Verification Number (BVN) 22300559079, has 20 Bank accounts he operates in Nigeria, while his private companies through BVN 22244303840, have 23 Bank accounts.
Mr. Abubakar also further that he was informed on April 6, 2017, by E. E. Iheanancho, an EFCC lawyer, on that an order of the court attaching the said 12-storey building to the Commission to prevent its disposal pending the conclusion of the investigation and when a criminal charge will be filed against Senator Nwaoboshi and his companies.
Justice Abdulaziz Anka, after listening to the EFCC counsel, ordered that the property at 27 Marine Road, Apapa, belonging to Senator Nwaoboshi, be temporarily forfeited to the federal government.

The Walking Dead Volume 13: Too Far Gone (2010)
"Too Far Gone" opens with Abraham Ford sitting on the side of his bed, sweating the prospect of revisiting zombieland, with his girlfriend blissfully sleeping. My first thought was that I couldn't care less about Rosita Espinosa, to the point where I had to research her name online. I like Abraham, and his new living situation is one of the highlights of this volume, but Rosita's just lying there, waiting to die.
Eugene Porter served his purpose, and I can't recall if he even appears in this edition. Gabriel Stokes has an excellent role to play here for a number of pages, but then he vanishes, because that role was all he had to offer. They dug up Morgan Jones a while back, and he serves a useful function for about a page. Maggie Greene has been around for a long time, takes care of Sophia, and they're both Glenn's supporting cast. These are people who'll live until they die, as is their lot.
There was a nurse who acted as doctor during the prison arc, and now there's a female doctor. It's hard to tell in black and white, but I believe the old one was blond, and the new one's a redhead. There's a love interest for Andrea. There's a new black guy who cares about his buddy that's going to die. There's some new jerky guys who'll get what's coming to them. These are people who'll die-- die! They're all new friends, but they'll die.
Surreality and nihilism define this story. The cast regulars are all in fine form, and they're all aware. Rick's back in cop mode, Glenn is the cunning sneak thief again, Andrea's taking her shots, Abraham's still a hard ass, Michonne and Carl are just waiting for the zombies to come home to feast. Douglas Monroe is the one new character with multiple facets and staying power, but he still looks set for a grim fate. There's our cast, and then there's bait. Motions are gone through, and they're an entertaining diversion, but this is just the wait before the tears.

(CNN) — It's one thing for people to dress up for Halloween, but it's quite another for a bar to get in on the act.
Nickel City, a bar in Austin, Texas, "dressed up" as the fictional Moe's Tavern watering hole from "The Simpsons" for a special Halloween treat.
Fans enjoyed the bar's myriad nods to the long-running series, from doughnuts with pink icing (Homer's fave), Krusty burgers and Flaming Moe cocktails (with Jagermeister swapped in for the children's cough syrup as the "secret ingredient").
Slurp a Squishee while buying memorabilia from "The Simpsons" TV show at this convenience store in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
The bar's owner, Travis Tober, tells CNN Travel that the idea came out of a random conversation with a colleague about how the front of the bar sort of looked like Moe's Tavern. He then pulled up a photo of the bar on his phone and realized how easy it would be to replicate the look.
It helped that Tober is a huge fan of the series, citing "Marge Vs the Monorail," a "The Music Man"-inspired episode from the fourth season, as a personal favorite.
"I grew up in a bar family," Tober, a Buffalo native, explains. "My favorite character is Moe. I always identified with him."
And he's not the only one living out a childhood dream.
Bart Simpson's memorable line made it onto a bar sign.
"We're big fans of 'The Simpsons,' so we were super excited when we heard about it," Ava Love Hanna, an Austinite who visited the bar, tells CNN Travel. "It's hilarious and really does look like Moe's outside."
Tober estimates that Nickel City employees took at least 350 photos a day of people posing in front of the Moe's sign.
While the bar nailed many details, not everything could be an exact replica. Homer's beloved Duff Beer, for example, doesn't really exist, so patrons opted for pints from Austin-area breweries such as Friends and Allies, Live Oak and Austin Beerworks instead.
"The Simpsons" premiered on Fox in December 1989 and is the longest-running animated series in TV history, entering its 30th season this autumn.
American actor and comedian Hank Azaria voices bartender Morris "Moe" Szyslak.
Unfortunately, most travelers won't be able to visit Moe's, as the pop-up ends on November 1. However, Tober hopes to make it an annual tradition, turning Nickel City into a different pop culture bar every Halloween.


The Shun Premier 18cm Santoku is a beautiful, Asian-inspired chef's knife. "Santoku" means "three virtues." Depending on who you ask, this relates either to the three types of food with which it works exceptionally well—vegetables, proteins, and fruit—or to the three types of cuts at which it excels: slicing, dicing and chopping. In truth, a santoku is a knife of many talents. Some cooks prefer a santoku to a chef's knife. Your choice depends on how the knife feels in your hand and how it works for you. The slight belly curve enables the cook to rock the blade slightly and makes this santoku as easy to use as a chef's knife. It is especially well suited to a down-and-forward cutting motion (push cut) and many cooks swear by their santoku for top performance.

New Elton Winery a lasting legacy for couple
Victor Panichkul
Statesman Journal
For Betty and Dick O'Brien, a former Oregon Girl Scouts executive and a former school teacher, the celebration on Sept. 27 that drew more than 500 Willamette Valley Vineyards supporters to a hillside in Polk County near Hopewell, wasn't simply an event to mark the beginning of a new winery. It was big step in their dream to leave behind a lasting family legacy steeped in the deep garnet of pinot noir wine.
"I'm delighted that the groundbreaking is occurring. We've chatted with Jim about this possibility for years and Dick and I are thrilled that it's going to happen in our lifetime. We feel like it's a real family legacy for us to establish an Elton brand for the winery as well as the vineyard," said Betty O'Brien.
The new Elton Winery, as well as the Elton Vineyard that the O'Briens planted in 1983, is a legacy that began with her father and mother, Elton and Florine "Peggy" Ingram.
"Dick and Betty O'Brien decided to build a home on their parents land when they started their lives together, and then they decided to be one of the very first to plant pinot noir in the Willamette Valley," said Jim Bernau, CEO of Willamette Valley Vineyards.
"Betty and I went to graduate school together at Willamette University. I met her in 1978. We had these dreams and we went to the very first grape grower meetings that were held in a deli in South Salem, believe it or not," Bernau said. People shared information about how to plant grapes and how to grow them.
The O'Briens started planting their vineyard in 1983 and so did Bernau. "Back years and years ago, when I visited their home, we walked out onto their land and I could see where they were planting their first grapes," Bernau said. "I walked with Betty, Dick and her mom up through the property and past the house where her mom was living and we walked up to this knoll and I stood up there and said, 'Dick, why on earth didn't you build your house up here?' You could see the whole valley from here."
Dick O'Brien then told Bernau how he was raised in the wind-swept plains of the Midwest and how he wanted to have his house down among the trees. "You know, this would be a great place to build a winery some day," Bernau remembered remarking. "That was well over 30 years ago."
"And now we're planning to build the dream that we had all those many years ago," Bernau said.
"Dick O'Brien was the guy on the tractor. He was a school teacher. And Betty was the executive director of the Oregon Girl Scouts. These were people of modest means who created this vineyard and who worked years and years and put all of their savings and discretionary income into planting these vines and caring for them," Bernau said.
Through the years, Betty O'Brien has been active in the wine industry, first in the Oregon Winegrowers Association, and then from 2001 to 2004, she was interim executive director of the Oregon Wine Board, the organization for Oregon's wine industry. She was also instrumental in creating the wine marketing program at Chemeketa Community College and taught the introduction to the wine marketing class for about seven years, she said. She's also the immediate past-president of the Eola-Amity Hills Winegrower Association.
A legacy of wine
"When Betty's mom passed away, her brother inherited a portion of the (500 acre) property and she inherited the other portion," Bernau said. "Betty and Dick talked her brother into selling me that knoll. So I bought something like 86 acres from Allen, her brothe. Bernau also has a long-term lease on another 100 acres from him. Bernau decided to name the vineyard Ingram Estates Vineyard, after Betty's mother and father.
When the O'Briens retired, Bernau won the right to lease their Elton Vineyard on a long-term basis. "Some years later, they said they wanted us to buy their vineyard out of their estate when they pass away," Bernau said. The vineyard would be appraised at the time so that the estate could realize the full value of the vineyard, he said.
And then Bernau learned that the couple made arrangements so that upon their deaths, the proceeds of their estate will be split between Oregon State University, to fund a viticulture extension agent position, and Chemeketa's Northwest Wine Studies Center.
"I was just in awe. They're going to be giving the entire value of their life's work back to the industry, back to the young people, to the students," Bernau said. "I have this great sense of gratitude that I get to farm this incredible vineyard and have this wonderful fruit that they've established. I also have this real deep sense of responsibility to make sure that what they've created is passed on."
Funding the dream
Willamette Valley Vineyards announced in May that it was embarking on a new project that would showcase premier Oregon vineyards sites by establishing a new division called Oregon Estate Vineyards, with Elton Winery as its first project. It later announced in June that it had purchased 42 acres in the Walla Walla American Viticulture Area on the Oregon side with the intent of planting a new vineyard and establishing a winery there called Pambrun.
To finance construction of both wineries, the company is hoping to tap into the enthusiasm of winelovers in Oregon and Washington to raise $6 million through a preferred stock offering that it launched in August.
At the Sept. 28 celebration, wine director Christine Collier said the preferred offering had already generated more than $2 million, surpassing the initial goal of raising $300,000 by the end of September. " We now have enough capital to fund construction of the Elton WInery," said Bernau. "Not bad for a month."
For many investors at the celebration, the preferred stock offering of $4.15 per share through Sept. 30 (and increasing in price gradually by quarter to a maximum price of $4.45 per share), was a chance to get involved in the Oregon wine business and have a piece of history.
"This is a great opportunity to belong to a great company and to own a piece of land and be part of the history of winemaking in the Mid-Willamette Valley," said Arturo Vargas as he leaned his shovel on the a pile of rocks. Vargas had driven down from McMinnville with his wife Lourdes Medina and daughter Texitli Vargas, 8, to be a part of the celebration and plant a vine.
"This is really fantastic, a one of a kind thing," said Steve Rankin of Tigard. Rankin and his wife, Teresa, have been wine club members at Willamette Valley Vineyards.
"It's our first chance to get involved and invest since we didn't get to in the very beginning (when Willamette Valley Vineyards was founded by Bernau in 1983)," said Dee Iltis of Salem who invested in the preferred stock offering with her husband Richard.
Bernau said architect Laurence Ferar has been hired to design the winery. Ferar is a noted winery designer in Portland and his works include Illahe Winery in Dallas, Van Duzer Vineyards in Dallas, Adelsheim VIneyards in Newberg and Leonetti Cellars in Walla Walla, Washington.
Bernau said work on the Elton Winery should be completed before May 2017 in time for the big Memorial Weekend season in wine country. Plans are to build a winemaking facility at Elton Vineyard and for a tasting room that accommodates seated tastings. The capacity of the winery will be about 5,000 cases, Collier said.
Taking the helm of winemaking and leading vineyard management of the project will be Isabelle Meunier, formerly the winemaker at Evening Land Vineyards.
Meunier said chardonnay and pinot noir grapes for the first vintage of the Elton Winery label have already been harvested and the wine is in the fermentation stage. "I'm really excited. This site has so much history. I feel so privileged and excited to explore it more and make the wine," Meunier said.
Until construction of the winery is complete, wine for the Elton label will be made at the Carlton Wine Studio with Meunier handling the winemaking, said Bernau.

Preferred Stock Offering
Willamette Valley Vineyards, based in Turner, is proposing to sell 1,445,783 shares at a maximum offering price of $4.45 per share, according to the SEC filing. There will be four purchase windows at the following price: through Sept. 30 at $4.15 per share; Oct. 1 to Dec. 31 at $4.25 per share; Jan. 1, 2016 to March 31 at $4.35 per share and April 1 to June 30 at $4.45 per share. The preferred stock will have no voting rights but will return an annual dividend of 5.3 percent. Willamette Valley Vineyards' common stock (traded on NASDAQ as WVVI) has voting rights but no dividend.
Interested investors can go to wvv.com/OwnershipInvitation for more information or call the winery at (503) 588-9463.

Off-Market Sales Gain Traction with CRE Owners and Buyers
Broward, Investment Sales, News, Palm Beach, Real Estate, Top Stories
The disruption caused by the pandemic made off-market transactions more attractive for both investors and potential sellers.
Earlier this month, global investment firm KKR announced that it had partnered with Kairoi Residential to acquire Novē at Knox, a class-A luxury multifamily complex located near downtown Dallas. The joint venture acquired the 19-story, 310-unit property in an off-market deal after KKR approached the owners, KBS and Southern Land Company.
Novē at Knox is just one of the many multifamily properties that have traded hands this year without going through a public marketing process. The acquisition represents the growing trend of off-market deals, not just in multifamily, but in every sector of commercial real estate.
Both owners and buyers are increasingly keen to do off-market deals, albeit for different reasons. And regardless of the motivations, these deals occur because they're mutually beneficial—both parties feel that they've made a good deal and are happy with the outcome.
"In today's competitive market, it is becoming harder and harder to compete and transact on deals that are brought to the mass market," says David Beare, partner with ARK Residential, a New York-based firm that invests in multifamily and mixed-use assets. "Finding an off-market transaction provides an opportunity to work together with a seller and try to solve for each other's goals."
Motivations for owners to sell off-market
While there's no data that tracks whether deals sell off-market, industry experts estimate that at least half the deals that trade are never brought to market. Some experts posit that as much as 80 percent of closed deals are "one and done"—meaning only one buyer had a shot at the property.
In the past, finding off-market deals was often time consuming and difficult, and potential buyers struggled not only with identifying off-market opportunities, but uncovering those that fit their specific investment criteria. However, the availability of data and the increased use of data analytics has made it easier to identify, underwrite and close off-market transactions.
Of equal importance, the stigma surrounding off-market deals has faded. The idea that off-market deals are limited to distressed properties or significantly discounted properties is now outdated. In fact, sentiment regarding off-market deals has changed so significantly that investors who participate in them are envied rather than derided.
While the broad marketing of a property has many benefits, off-market sales have their advantages as well, according to Loryn Arkow, a partner in law firm Stroock's real estate practice. For example, if the seller seeks confidentiality surrounding the sale or values an expedited and more efficient process, an off-market deal might meet their needs.
An owner must feel confident that the off-market offer is fair and comfortable that the buyer won't re-trade for an off-market deal to work, says Miles Pratt, managing director of real estate acquisitions for Archer. The data-driven investment firm works with real estate investors to help identify off-market transactions.
Archer's proprietary tech platform, called AIM, aggregates traditional and non-traditional data sources to uncover acquisition opportunities that meet specific investment criteria, including preferred markets, submarkets and property size, among other things.
"Every owner has an idea of what their property is worth—a number that would convince them to sell," Pratt says. "If a buyer comes along and offers that number, and that buyer also offers certainty of close, why wouldn't an owner be willing to do a deal?"
Archer's tech platform categorizes owners and properties by how likely they are to trade off-market and assigns a "seller propensity score." The score is based on a property's ownership structure, average investment horizon for the ownership entity, financials and other data points.
ARK Residential is working with Archer to identify properties in specific locations with specific characteristics that have enough upside to pursue. "We try to engage directly with owners to see if there is a way to unlock an opportunity," Beare says.
The pandemic has also driven increased interest in off-market transactions, especially for owners with properties that took a bit of a hit on vacancy or market rents. Colin Behring, CEO of San Ramon, Calif.-based Behring Companies, contends that on-market sellers are pressured to price their properties lower than recent valuations to account for depressed market rents and artificially inflated construction costs.
"Nobody wants to publicly set pricing lower," Behring says. "Off-market transactions are particularly advantageous if you need to deploy capital quickly or want to liquidate your assets without creating fanfare."
Competitive pressure drives off-market pursuit
With so much capital chasing multifamily properties—maybe more than ever before—investors are desperate to find a place to park their money. It's not usual for marketed properties to receive hundreds of offers, which makes it difficult for buyers to break away from the pack and win the deal.
"Capital is clearly cheap and demand is high, so the need for properties … is more than the current 'market' can offer," says Kevin Mattice, chief product officer for Cherre.
Earlier this year, the New York-based real estate data analytics platform rolled out a new front-end application that enables customers to explore their connected data with enhanced property searches and the ability to "unmask" LLC owners. The application, called CoreExplore, helps investors uncover properties that fit a specific investment strategy.
Mattice adds: "The universe of opportunities is much vaster than what is currently on the market. An acquisition hypothesis is based on market trends and conditions, demographics, property values, economics and a multitude of other factors that shouldn't be limited by what is on or off the market."
That's why most active multifamily investors are pursuing both on and off-market deals. "Whenever you're out there looking for deals to buy, you're going to look at every angle you have, and of course that includes off-market deals," says David Vincent, investment product specialist at Cadre, a New York-based investment firm that routinely buys and sells properties off-market.
Cadre recently acquired a class-A multifamily community in the Dallas suburb of Farmers Branch for $92 million in an off-market transaction. According to Vincent, the owner-developer didn't want to go through the marketing process if he didn't have to and was eager to sell to Cadre if the firm could meet his required price.
Off-market doesn't mean cheap
Pricing always has been—and continues to be—a key piece of the off-market puzzle.
Historically, owners shied away from off-market deals, fearing that if they didn't take their properties to market, they wouldn't get a fair price or that they'd miss out on some upside. Buyers, meanwhile, pursued owners in hopes of nabbing an asset for below market price.
Yet the vast majority of off-market buyers today don't expect owners to sell their assets at a discount, according to Archer's Pratt. "Most people involved in off-market deals understand that off-market doesn't mean below-market," he says. "It means you're probably going to pay market or maybe slightly above market. But in exchange, you're not going to have to compete with anyone else, and you're going to close a deal instead of losing it to another buyer."
Owners that are amenable to investors that approach them with an offer are banking on the idea that the potential buyer targeted their property because they saw its value and aren't trying to take advantage of owners.
"When we engage in off-market deals, we are going after properties where we have very strong working knowledge of the property, a firm grasp of the economics surrounding the property and can clearly convey that the offer is fair," Behring says. "If the offer is fair and the exit fits the ultimate goals of the seller, you will get a deal done."
Mattice likens off-market commercial real estate deals to selling a home or car: "The opportunity that your property is worth something to a buyer when you didn't think it was something to sell can be a pleasant surprise."
Some owners might prefer to dispose of their properties in off-market deals, but their hands are tied by investor mandates. More often than not, investment firms are contractually required to put assets through a full marketing process—the assumption being that an off-market deal wouldn't allow investors to realize the full value of the assets.
However, there's risk involved in bringing an asset to market: when the market doesn't agree with the broker's opinion of value (BOV) or how much an owner thinks the property is worth. Once a property is on the market and doesn't trade, it makes it harder for a seller to successfully sell in the near future, notes ARK Residential's Beare.
Avoiding a lengthy process
One of the downsides to publicly marketing a multifamily property is the time involved. It takes several months to go through an entire marketing process—from interviewing brokers to best-and-final offers–and that doesn't even include the due diligence process or the closing, Pratt says. He adds: "Off-market deals streamline the acquisition process for both owners and buyers."
Earlier this year, Archer rolled out an automated underwriting tool that decreases the time and effort required to accurately and efficiently evaluate a property and allows buyers to move more quickly with LOIs. AIM Automated Underwriting can underwrite any multifamily property in less than 15 minutes—a process that usually takes several days to complete.
In today's market, the ability to move quickly is a competitive edge for investors. In fact, when a property is marketed, many potential buyers will try to make themselves more attractive by offering a quick close.
Owners benefit from off-market transactions simply because "they had to do nothing to generate the demand," Mattice says. "It takes less time and effort for an owner to market their property if it never had to go on the market in the first place."
Some owners might be worried about market volatility or that market conditions might degrade during the marketing process, which would create a hiccup. In those situations, off-market deals are a hedge against market risk.
Bidding wars and competition between buyers take time to resolve and the right price for the right off-market property can significantly increase speed. For a lot of owners, timing is almost as important as price—maybe even equally important, according to Cadre's Vincent.
"Would some of these properties trade for a higher price if they had been fully marketed?" he says. "Absolutely. Now, does that mean that we think we're taking advantage as a seller? Absolutely not. That is the balance—from the seller's perspective, they're getting the speed of transaction. From the buyer's perspective, they're getting the property they want at a price that makes sense for them."
