Scratched inventory number as pictured. Peter Carl Fabergé, also known as Karl Gustavovich Fabergé (Russian: , Karl Gustavovich Faberzhe; 30 May 1846 24 September 1920), was a Russian jeweller best known for the famous Fabergé eggs made in the style of genuine Easter eggs, but using precious metals and gemstones rather than more mundane materials. He was one of the sons of the founder of the famous jewelry legacy House of Fabergé.
Peter Carl Faberge was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to the Baltic German jeweller Gustav Fabergé and his Danish wife Charlotte Jungstedt. Gustav Fabergé's paternal ancestors were Huguenots, originally from La Bouteille, Picardy, who fled from France after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes, first to Germany near Berlin, then in 1800 to the Pernau (today Pärnu)[2] Baltic province of Livonia, then part of Russia, now Estonia. Until he was 14 years old he went to the German St Anne School in Saint Petersburg, Russia. [citation needed] In 1860 his father retired from his jewelry business and moved with his family to Germany. He left the House of Fabergé in Saint Petersburg in the hands of his business partner.
Carl Fabergé undertook a course at the Dresden Arts and Crafts School. In 1862 Agathon Fabergé, the Fabergés' second son, was born in Dresden, Germany, where he went to school as well. In 1864, Peter Carl Fabergé embarked upon a Grand Tour of Europe.
He received tuition from respected goldsmiths in Germany, France and England, attended a course at Schloss's Commercial College in Paris, and viewed the objects in the galleries of Europe's leading museums. Petersburg and married Augusta Julia Jacobs. 1874 saw the arrival of his first child, Eugene Fabergé and two years later, Agathon Fabergé was born; Alexander Fabergé and Nicholas Fabergé followed in 1877 and 1884 respectively. For the following 10 years, his father's trusted workmaster Hiskias Pendin acted as his mentor and tutor. The company was also involved with cataloguing, repairing, and restoring objects in the Hermitage during the 1870s.
In 1881 the business moved to larger street-level premises at 16/18 Bolshaya Morskaya.

In social media, Friend recommendation is an important recommender application.Social Friend Recommendation Based Multiple Network Correlation.
Major social websites such as Twitter and Facebook are all capable of recommending friends to individuals. However, most of these websites use simple friend recommendation algorithms such as similarity, popularity, or "friend's friends are friends," which are intuitive but consider few of the characteristics of the social network.
2) related networks are aligned by selecting important features from each network. After important feature selection has been made, friends based on these features are recommended.
Experiments are conducted on the Flickr network, which contains more than ten thousand nodes and over 30 thousand tags covering half a million photos, to show that the proposed algorithm recommends friends more precisely than reference methods.

Early on in my trip, I clued you into the greatest evil you will face in Belgium: the registration process. The multiple trips, the random paperwork, the endless lines! All for a card that they will take from you when you leave. You need this card to avoid the risk of getting deported (unlikely, but don't test your luck) and you need to give it back so you don't get charged a ton of taxes when you head back to America (100% will happen).
Ah, I did not learn my lesson the first time.
I'll admit, this time around the confusion was entirely self-made but it may still be helpful so that you don't make the same dumb mistakes I did.
I didn't have to come into the office until after 10 AM one day, a week before my last day, so I decided to head over to the commune. Since it was Tuesday, the line was exceptionally short. I took a number and maybe 20 minutes later, I get called up. I tell the lady I'm there to de-register and she tells me I'm in the wrong commune.
I didn't even know there was more than one! But she informs me that there is a bigger commune on the end of the street, building 168. I infer that it's the big, mansion-like building at the top of Fernand-Coq and head that way. I follow the numbers to make sure I'm correct and they are, in fact, increasing. Then, suddenly, I'm on a totally different street with two digit numbers. I'm reminded that Brussels is unplanned and sometimes you will just be on another street without having turned at all.
I whip out my trusty Google Maps app that tells me that the building is just three minutes away. Fantastic! I'll just pop in and out, no problem. Except that Google Maps, not knowing that there is construction on the street proceeds to take me in circles for about 20 minutes before I give up out of frustration. Defeated, I buy myself some candy and go to work.
On Friday, I decide to try again. I confirm that it is in the big mansion and I figure out that there is a path to get in that is concealed by the construction site. I'm awed by how nice the inside of the building is. Despite this, I'm unsure of where to go and the guard at the desk isn't interested in figuring out why I'm there. I take it upon myself to ask and I'm told that I went into the wrong door and I have to go in through the side entrance. Great.
Through the side entrance, a much less impressive room leads to the correct location for de-registration. I go to take a ticket and, as none of the buttons correspond to my reason for being there, I choose a random one and take a seat. The numbers, for some odd reason, are being called out of order, but some 30 minutes later, I am called up. I explain to the man that I am leaving next Saturday and need to de-register. He lets me know that this would deactivate my pin and they'd take my card, meaning I can't actually do this until the day before I leave.
This time, I buy myself a Belgian waffle and wait for the bus in the rain.
I wake up bright and early on Friday, catch the 95 and hoof it up to the commune. I know the way without my phone at this point and I make it in before the crowd of people. I'm called up in about 20 minutes. Everything they ask for, I have on the ready: my card is in hand, I have an ID picture for the file, and I know the answers to all the questions.
After giving all the relevant information, I am done. The man wishes me a safe trip. Success!
A bagel breakfast sandwich is my prize.

Photography 101, Day 2: Today, let's focus on a street. While you're free to take a picture from any angle, try to capture an establishing shot: a wide-angle photo that sets up a scene. In your wide shot, also think about its basic components: a foreground and a background. The foreground is the part of your scene that's nearest to the viewer, and where you can place a subject or focal point of your picture.
Wait…how did I miss seeing that before?

Ever since I was a little kitten, my carrier has been a big part of my life. It usually sits under the end table in the TV room, and I walk past it every day. I know that whenever the humans pull it out and open the door that it means they're going somewhere and taking me with them, so I'll scoot right in. They've put a nice soft blanket inside and a couple of toys for me. If they take too long, I'll sit in it with the door open while I wait for them to finish getting ready…hurry up, let's go!

In researching ideas for my "Chic Rock Star Glam" bedroom make-over, I kept coming across images of the British flag (or Union Jack), which I like very much. It has sort of a mod, punk-rock feel, but I wanted to "chic" it up a bit, make it my own, and of course, make it myself.
Believe me, I am no seamstress. I can barely sew a straight line, so the design had to be simple. I had a large piece of magenta ultra-suede left over from an old project. I used that as the base. I had a large pillow that used to be on the bed back in the old "Purple" days. I pulled the pillow out of the old purple case and used it to measure for the new ultra-suede pillow. I then used fabric scraps left over from the new curtains I sewed for the bedroom (more on that in a future blog post). I cut them into strips and ironed the edges under. I played around with the design until I liked it, then pined the strips to the ultra-suede, and started sewing. It was all simple, straight-line work.
I really like the result. Even my musician-man digs it. Is it perfect? Heck no, (I would not be getting an "A" from the sewing teacher) but it works and is just the sort of look I was going for. It took about 2 hours, and was basically free, as I used bits of fabric I already had.
The rest of the "Chic Rock Star Glam" bedroom projects are on the way!
Strips ironed and satin layer sewn on.
The design is pined down, time to sew.
Strips sewn in place, time to finish the edge.
Oooo, Love these wooly pillows form Neiman Marcus, they would look great on my Rock Star Bed!

Blogging Your Way to Success By Laura Lee Carter
How To Make Money Writing Filler By Suzan L. Wiener
"I Before E": Except After 16 Hours By Robin Keith
What makes freelancing so popular? With the growth of the online marketplace comes more opportunities for freelancers to obtain contracts, but there's also fierce competition. Deciding whether to burgeon out on your own can be quite liberating if you have the persistence. There are many benefits to freelancing online: flexible schedule, work at home, wear your pajamas to work if you want, and work for many different publications and fields. Then there are the drawbacks: no steady salary, no insurance, and responsibility for your own contracts. That's what we admire about you as a freelancer. If you have the courage and determination it takes to put your skills out there then go for that brass ring. And we hope you do, just like these three freelancers have here.
Blogging Your Way to Writing Success!
By Laura Lee Carter
So, what's the deal with this blogging thing anyway? What is it, and why do freelancers put their severely limited time into writing for free? That can't make any sense, can it?
Let's ask Diablo Cody, the writer behind the Oscar-winning movie, Juno. She started blogging about her experiences in the strip and peep show circuit, which then led to her book: Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper. Before you know it, she had her first screenplay accepted. Now, she has a couple more screenplays coming out this year, and she's definitely too busy to think about blogging much.
Stories like this convinced me that the rules for reaching your audience as a writer have changed. The old way of writing your book, and then starting to think about promotion, are history. The new way is to build your platform ahead of time. Create demand for your product before it is even completed. Convince others that you have a product that they will want to buy when it is finally available.
How do you draw and persuade your future audience? With your marvelous writing, of course! That's where blogging comes in.
What's a blog?
A blog, or web log, is an online journal, written, read and updated on a website. It's there for anyone with an Internet connection to see and comment on. The entries, or "posts," are organized in reverse chronological order, like a pile of unread mail, with the newest on top and the older stuff on the bottom. Some blogs have graphics, sidebars and photos, others are just straight text.
Today, there are more than 100 million blogs in the world, with about 15 million of them actively updated. Topics range everywhere from politics, technology, gossip, sex, mommy blogs, gadgets, fictional characters, videos, photos, and cartoons, to name a few. Every respected media source maintains a blog including The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The New Yorker.
People start blogs because they have something to say on some subject, and hope others will listen. It's the closest thing we have to total freedom of the press. Up until now, freedom of the press was only guaranteed to those who owned one. Now, anyone can start their own media outlet online. Some call it the age of "citizen journalism."
Every happening, a war, a hurricane, or a sport, has their own crop of bloggers, who try to outdo the mainstream media in covering the event in a timely, in-depth way, and from an insider or an observer perspective. For example, you can read about the war in Iraq from Iraqi bloggers, from American soldiers, or from scholars who analyze and translate news from the front.
"With this platform, the potential for writing and speaking opportunities appear boundless."
The Millionaire Mommy Next Door
My favorite blogging success story comes from a friend of mine. She started her personal finance blog:
www.MillionaireMommyNextDoor.blogspot.com on a whim last July. Through her blog alone, she has acquired a well-respected literary agent anxious to consider her first book, and a short spot on the Montel Williams Show. This, all after just four months of blogging. The day after she appeared on Montel, she received 21,000 hits on her website. She's still shocked at the impact this simple choice has made on her life and her writing career.
I spoke to her recently about how she feels about blogging as an avenue to writing success. When asked what her goals were as a newbie to professional writing, Jen said, "As a new writer, my initial intent was to develop my writing voice through frequent posts. Blogging offered me a unique two-way communication and valuable feedback from my worldwide audience. I also felt passionate about teaching my audience about being financially responsible, and hoped my story might inspire others to embark on their own journey to financial freedom."
Then, I asked how her blog had changed her life. Jen: "My blog has created a platform from which I see many opportunities to expand. In just five months, I went from launching a blog as a newbie writer, to a national TV appearance. With this platform, the potential for writing and speaking opportunities appear boundless."
Needless to say, when I met the Millionaire Mommy and heard about her successes, I started my own blog. From this experience, I learned about some additional hidden benefits, especially for the new freelance writer.
What blogging can do for you as a writer:
Build confidence and competence
Assist in finding your "voice" and passion
Provide direct public access and international exposure
Provide total and immediate freedom of expression
Create new avenues of connection & community
Provide immediate feedback from your readers
Create a platform for your work, while gathering an interested clientele
Establish your expertise in a certain field
Responsibilities of Blogging:
Time consuming commitment (Posting a few times per week)
Requires discipline, consistency, and passion for your topic
Challenges you to keep your writing fresh and interesting, while continuing to add value for your readers
Avoid copyright and other legal issues
Need to learn a whole new technology and type of terminology to promote your blog worldwide
"You must entertain them, while also solving their problems."
Ultimately, blogs build a regular readership if they are updated regularly, are well written, and cover a subject with passion, humor, and excitement. Remember, it's all about your audience. You must entertain them, while also solving their problems.
Audiences have gotten used to free samples or excerpts from books. They want a good sense of what they can expect from a writer with some sort of guarantee that your material will be worth the price and their time. Blogging is the perfect inexpensive way to draw an audience and keep them interested in you, and what you plan to offer them in the future.
Laura Lee Carter thought she'd seen it all by the time she hit 40, and then the real changes began. After 25 years as an academic librarian and one additional M.A. in psychology, she experienced a divorce at age 46, and then a job lay off at 49. So she started her own dating service, where she met her new husband by age 50. This was enough to convince Laura Lee to try her hand at a freelance writing career, and to crown herself the "Midlife Crisis Queen."

How to Make Money Writing Filler
By Suzan L. Wiener
As a freelance writer, you may have heard the term "filler" writing. Some of the magazines that use fillers pay quite well. You can make anywhere from $5 to $300 or more, depending on the publication. It's a fun way to establish writing credits and make extra cash.
What exactly is filler?
Filler is a short piece that editors use to "fill in" layout space in their pages. It's intended to be a quick and fun read that adds interest or provides information. The next time you are at a magazine rack, browse through several magazines and note the different types of short pieces.
"Filler can be a four-line poem, quotes, an anecdote or joke, statistics, a 250-300 word mini article..."
What are magazines seeking?
Before submitting filler to a particular market, review past issues to see the types of filler they use; that will give you an idea of what to submit. Filler can be a four-line poem, quotes, an anecdote or joke, statistics, a 250-300 word mini article, etc. Sometime magazines have a specific page dedicated to miscellaneous short content.
10 tips to help you on the path to getting your fillers published:
1. Use your computer (or typewriter) to type all fillers, double-spaced on an 8 ½ x 11 page or a standard postcard, depending on the submission guidelines.
2. Check the masthead. If there is no specific editor listed for fillers, address your submission to the appropriate editor of the section or column for which you are submitting.
3. Sending fillers via e-mail, rather than snail mail saves a lot of postage. But always check to make sure that the publication accepts e-mail submissions, so you won't send it that way and waste time and effort. If you submit via snail mail, make sure you include a SASE for your acceptance letter and/or include your email contact information.
4. Mail out at least ten to 15 fillers a week, so you will always have a number of them in circulation. This way, you increase your odds of getting published. Of course, it's not only about the quantity that you send out, but also the quality that will get your work published. Your submission needs to be something that the editor will take notice of and want to buy.
5. Don't send rejected filler to the same market again. Instead, if you feel it's good, send it to another magazine. Don't give up on it. Read it to others to see if they like it and can make any suggestions on how to improve it. It's always good to ask your writer friends for advice. They will give you a more in-depth critique.
6. Feel free to send a filler to another market if there is no word after four or five months. I've done that and editors don't mind at all. Also, there is no need to mention that you have sent it to another magazine. It isn't necessary to send a certified letter that you are withdrawing that filler either.
7. It is always smart to hold your fillers for a few days before submitting. Then go back and read them aloud. See if it's exactly the way you want it to be. You might find typographical or grammatical errors, or sentences that should be structured differently.
8. Don't rule out sending fillers to magazine that pay only in copies. At least you will get to see your byline and have great exposure for your work. Sometimes, another editor will see it and ask to buy your anecdote, etc. If you own all rights, you can resell it.
9. Send only to those publications that use fillers now. It's a waste of time to submit to magazines you hope might use fillers in the future. You will see them returned very quickly and will be disappointed. Do your homework and you will be well rewarded.
10. Most importantly, don't give up. Even if you don't get an acceptance within six months, just keep sending them out. Make sure the fillers are polished and your best work. Sooner or later, if you persevere, you will, no doubt, get that acceptance letter.
Filler Markets:
Women's publications always have a need for fillers. You can boost your chances of getting published by submitting to these magazines.

Cracker Barrel or Grandparents' Brag Board
127 Ninth Av. N.
Needs: Cracker Barrel only uses 4-line poems now, pays $15.
Needs: Grandparents' Brag Board, anecdotes about your grandkids, pays $15 also.
Follow the tips above and try writing all types of fillers, not just the ones you feel familiar with. Branch out and write filler for specialty or trade magazines about topics you know. And when you do research for articles, think of how the information you don't use in the article can be turned into filler for another similar magazine. Be creative and your odds will be much higher of getting the acceptance letter you crave and that welcomed check.
Suzan L. Wiener has had many articles on writing, short stories, poems and shorter pieces published in major publications such as Mature Living, Mature Years, Complete Woman, Canadian Writer's Journal, The New Writer, Cross&Quill, FellowScript, The Writer's Ezine, Mocha Memoirs, NEB Publishing, Saturday Evening Post, MetroSeven (Australia), Family Circle, Woman's World, etc. She has won several contests. She also has her unrhymed love poems in an e-book, which is available Here.
I before E: Except After 16 Hours
By Robin Keith
Never is the need for accuracy more evident than when 36-point, bold typos scream from their exalted position at upper right, above the fold. Fifteen years as a newspaper editor provides a great hard-knocks education.
It had not been the best of weeks. As triple-digit temperatures heralded the apex of another August in Texas, I sat at my cluttered dining table, in front of a mammoth green IBM electric typewriter, pounding out a Random Notions column for Thursday's edition. As the name implies, I generally snatched a topic "from the air" for the bi-weekly column, attempting to inject at least a modest amount of humor. However, this was normally accomplished with the adept assistance of a Macintosh PageMaker program, in the relative quiet of my small downtown office.
That particular Monday in 1989, however, our four-year-old son had awakened covered in angry red welts, which quickly spread from his abdomen to his back, limbs, face, and eyelids—even inside his ears. We settled in to battle an especially nasty case of the "chicken pops," made even more difficult by my husband's and my offset work schedules. He worked while I slept and vice-versa.
My publisher quickly agreed (as I basically was the editorial staff) to allow me to work from home, and we established a messenger system of sorts to relay articles to Donna, our already overworked advertising/design manager, who would double as typesetter for the duration of Scott's illness. Not a perfect system, granted, but those were pre-internet days, at least in our little town of about 4,000 souls.
Sue, in charge of office supply sales, delivered press releases, readers' requests and contributed photos to my home, and carried them back for typesetting after they'd been edited, written and/or sized. As I struggled through what I feared to be the worst column ever written, she arrived with a fresh batch. "Don't forget this is the back-to-school issue," she said, dropping a hefty stack of papers and unopened mail on the table. "I gave the school supply lists directly to Donna this time; didn't figure you could do much with them here. But we need the registration schedules and new teacher profiles by five."
I thanked her, silently cursing our rotten luck, as I reached absently for the coffee mug and retrieved instead a sticky and half-empty bottle of Calamine lotion. "We'll do the best we can," she said. "Don't worry."
Of course I worried. I'd averaged approximately 45 minutes of sleep the previous two nights and was nearing the end of a marathon, frequently interrupted typing session. I'd been forced to revert to our pre-Macintosh headline sizing methods: Donna had printed out "The quick brown fox jumped deftly over the fallen log" in sizes from 14 to 72-point type of basic fonts and pasted them across the six columns of a blank paste-up sheet. I'd choose a font type and size for an article, type however much of the "brown fox" sentence fit column widths in that font, and then type a proposed headline to fit underneath. It wasn't a perfect system, but it had worked during my first few years on the job, when an ancient headliner machine spat them out in long strips, and I could strike pretty close.
The big news of that particular week was not schools opening, but the dangers posed by a seemingly endless heat wave. I'd spent much of the previous day calling local health officials, and had two handwritten pages of quotes, statistics, and recommendations for the lead article. I'd put it aside, however, awaiting a return call from the county hospital, concerning recent heat-related admissions there.
That call came as I sorted the stack of papers Sue had left, and noticed a "canned" press release from a state health organization on the same topic. I decided to combine all the information, beginning with the local angle and finishing up with statewide statistics and other information from the release. A common practice, this allows several extra paragraphs to either flesh out the piece or be cut and tailored to available space.
I reworked the piece as planned, completed my semi-weekly column (weakly), handed it off to Sue, and ran another oatmeal bath for my itchy and very cranky son, thinking I'd not done too poorly after all. The next morning, in 36-point bold type, the lead story proclaimed, "Hospital Reports Sharp Increase in Hypothermia-related Admissions."
Almost certain I'd not made that mistake, I quickly called Donna, who said, "Yes, I know. They've been calling all morning. We just warned folks about the dangers of freezing to death in 112-degree temperatures." It seems I'd mistyped the word in the headline, but not the body of the article. Also exhausted back at the office, they'd simply gone with the first choice presented—the wrong one.
Errors like this frequently happen under burden of approaching deadlines, even with benefit of spell-check. As both words had been spelled correctly, the newspaper's computer registered no alarm. This is one of the hazards of working past what my mom called "the witching hour"—that point during a long day after which everything becomes either hysterically funny, horribly upsetting, or otherwise strangely distorted. We've all experienced them—those times when even the word "that" looks weird.
Battling the witching hour phenomenon is especially important to writers, and can be accomplished with a little planning.
First in your arsenal is proper reference material.
Never assume you're certain what that odd-looking word means, especially if you're already bleary-eyed and nearing complete exhaustion. Along with Webster's International Dictionary, I rely strongly on The Elements of Grammar, and The Elements of Style.
While I adore my PC and its built-in research tools, I continue to rely on these old favorites as the ultimate authority. Another resource I've learned to love is, The Dictionary of Disagreeable English by Robert Hartwell Fiske, who presents the information in an amusingly grouchy manner.
"Never assume you're certain what that odd-looking word means, especially if you're already bleary-eyed and nearing complete exhaustion."
Allow yourself sufficient time to prepare.
I understand: writers love to procrastinate. I prefer to attribute this to superior intellect (our interests are many and varied), but other less-gracious souls might consider the adjective: lazy.
Whatever the reason, a writer's credibility depends on avoiding this trap at all costs. I now try to complete assignments at least three days before deadline, a luxury I did not have in those early days of putting out two newspapers a week with a combined editorial/advertising staff of three, including one part-time floater from the front office. Completing assignments early allows extra time for reflection, fact checking, and revision, which will produce a more polished piece of writing.
"Manuscripts need rest, too!"
Allow sufficient time for gathering information.
Try to schedule interviews early and get research out of the way. My grandfather's traveling philosophy works well with writing projects: starting a half-hour early provides time to deal with the unexpected. Sometimes interviews must be rescheduled; calls are missed; libraries close early (especially in rural communities).
Manuscripts need rest, too! My worst fears in newspaper work were frequently realized the day after we put the paper to bed. No matter how many times I re-read and edited a piece the day it was written, I'd often find awkward wording, misspellings, or grammatical errors once it returned from the printer's, the next morning. I now try to allow a piece to "rest" a couple of days, while I get my mind off of it.
Even if strongly tempted, I won't return to it until I've completed other assignments, thoroughly cleaned my house, or just spent a couple of days outdoors to gain perspective. Then, editing is simplified by re-reading the piece with fresh eyes. This brings me to the next suggestion.
Look at it from a different perspective.
Newspaper work taught me a new proofreading method: read it backward. Our brains are marvelous machines. They take in information, fill in gaps, and return processed material. If a letter, word, or even phrase is missing, our minds can and sometimes will just assume it's there. Proofreading from the end of the article, story, or poem forces us to focus on each individual word. If I'd had the time and energy that day in 1984, the word "hypothermia" would have immediately jumped out as inappropriate.
"Writing is ten percent inspiration, 40 percent perspiration; the final 50 is pure frustration!"
Finally, take full advantage of untapped resources.
Do you have family and friends? Use them! In the past, I'd drive over to Dad's to see what he thought of my most recent writing project. An avid reader and writer, he could pinpoint errors, suggest changes, and provide fresh ideas/perspectives. Today, my nearest family lives more than a two-hour drive from our home. But with the internet, I now solicit valuable input and critiques via email.
I rely heavily on critiques from friends and family, and offer them my various creative services in return. Although the majority of my professional experience has been in the area of non-fiction, I also enjoy writing fiction and poetry, and recently completed a short-short story I hoped to enter into a contest. After weeks of polishing, I zipped it off to my usual circle and anxiously awaited a response. The next morning, my inbox held the first reply, from my sister-in-law in Louisiana.
"Wow!" she began. After detailing what she liked about the piece, she added, "Of course, I'm no writer, and everyone else might understand it easily, but I did have to read some of it a couple times to find which character was speaking, because of the way it switches back and forth." I shrugged it off; it made perfect sense to me! However, the next three responses held similar comments and I reworked the dialogue for clarity of voice. This is an important lesson for writers: of course we understand what we write; our goal is to make the reader understand it. And there's no better way than to ask a reader (or two).
As my former publisher was fond of saying, "Writing is ten percent inspiration, 40 percent perspiration; the final 50 is pure frustration!" Forewarned of "witching-hour" hazards, writers who take steps to prevent the phenomenon might well reduce that familiar adage back to its original balance!

Q: PHP Module with incorrect compiled API (unable to initialize) I'm trying to install freetds and php-mssql on a RHEL5 box.  I've successfully done (what appears to be) everything.  However, I get the following error when PHP attempts to load the module:
PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: mssql: Unable to initialize module
Module compiled with module API=20090626, debug=0, thread-safety=0
PHP    compiled with module API=20050922, debug=0, thread-safety=0
These options need to match

I've been pulling my brain out trying to figure out why they are different values, but having no success.
In the latest attempt, I downloaded the php source for the version I am running (php-5.3.8), went into the ext/mssql folder and ran phpize, configure, make, make install.
I verified the mssql.so file is in the appropriate folder, and that php is trying to load it.
phpize -v
Configuring for:
PHP Api Version:         20050922
Zend Module Api No:      20090626
Zend Extension Api No:   220090626

A: RHEL had an older version of php (5.1.x), and the installation of newer php versions (such as 5.3.x) means several changes. If you install from unofficial repos, you will see packages named php-* and php5-* . Having both versions can be the origin of the problems.
It looks like your system is accessing some configuration files from previous php installations.
Have a look at:
 - /etc/php.d Be sure you do not have elements from old versions
 - Have a look at /usr/bin/php-config* , If you have both php-config and php-config5, remove (rename) of /usr/bin/php-config and make a symlink to the new one:
# mv /usr/bin/php-config /usr/bin/php-config_old
# ln -s /usr/bin/php-config5 /usr/bin/php-config

Hope this helps

A: I can confirm that when a module doesn't load because of a different API it's because of an old php-config. Then you must look in /usr/bin/php-config and overwrite it with a newer version.

A: For those of you using debian based distributions, Ubuntu for example, you can also check for any alternatives that have been set, in the case that you have installed more than one version of php.
One way to quickly determine which alternatives have been set for anything related to php is to ls -l /etc/alternatives/*php*
Example output:
$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/*php*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 May 19 00:02 /etc/alternatives/php -> /usr/bin/php7.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jan 28 18:50 /etc/alternatives/php-cgi -> /usr/bin/php-cgi7.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Jan 28 18:50 /etc/alternatives/php-cgi-bin -> /usr/lib/cgi-bin/php7.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jan 28 18:50 /etc/alternatives/php-cgi.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/php-cgi7.4.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 May 19 20:27 /etc/alternatives/php-config -> /usr/bin/php-config7.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 38 May 19 20:27 /etc/alternatives/php-config.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/php-config7.4.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 May 19 20:30 /etc/alternatives/php-fpm.sock -> /run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 May 19 00:02 /etc/alternatives/php.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/php7.4.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 May 19 20:29 /etc/alternatives/phpdbg -> /usr/bin/phpdbg7.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 May 19 20:29 /etc/alternatives/phpdbg.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/phpdbg7.4.1.gz
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 May 19 20:29 /etc/alternatives/phpize -> /usr/bin/phpize7.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 34 May 19 20:29 /etc/alternatives/phpize.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/phpize7.4.1.gz

In my case, I had installed php8 after having 7.4 already installed.  Then I needed to switch back, half of my alternatives were still set to 8. When I tried to enable an extension that I had installed with pecl, then I experienced the issue mentioned by OP.
So, for example, when switching from php 8.0 back to 7.4, if the symbolic  link for one of the alternatives is still pointing to 8.0, say php-fpm.sock, then you would
sudo update-alternatives --config php-fpm.sock and choose the number of the selection match php7.4-fpm.sock (1 in the example below)
$ sudo update-alternatives --config php-fpm.sock
There are 2 choices for the alternative php-fpm.sock (providing /run/php/php-fpm.sock).

  Selection    Path                      Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock   80        auto mode
  1            /run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock   74        manual mode
  2            /run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock   80        manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 1

ELECTION 2018: Thurston requests tax increase to fund additional police protection
The village of Thurston is requesting a 4.4 mill property tax levy, which is expected to generate about $28,000 a year for police protection.

THURSTON - The Village of Thurston is requesting a property tax increase to fund additional police protection for the village of about 600 residents.
At this point, Thurston officials are unsure how much police protection the permanent 4.4 mill levy could offer residents or who would provide the service — either an outside agency or by starting the village's own police force.
"Village Council will be seeking to contract police services with a neighboring village, the County Sheriff, or start its own police department; whichever best fits the Village's needs and budget," according to a statement provided by Village Mayor Mary Boring and Fiscal Officer Aaron Reedy.
The levy would generate an estimated $28,000 each year. For a home valued at $100,000, the millage would cost the homeowner $154 each year, according to figures provided by the Fairfield County Auditor's Office.

The village's statement claims that for years council members have heard residents complain of speeding, reckless driving, juvenile delinquency, drug sales and usage, and property maintenance code violations.
"For quite some time, coverage from the County Sheriff's office has been lean, inefficient, and non-effective," the statement said.
According to data gathered by the Fairfield County Sheriff's Office, the office reported 403 interactions in Thurston last year. This is up slightly from previous years as there were 387 police interactions in 2016 and and 349 in 2015.
"Any time that there's an emergency or request for sheriff's office services we respond," said Sheriff's Office Deputy Chief Alex Lape.
Thurston's council considered contracting with another agency over the past few years, including with Millersport police. That idea, however, fell through a year ago when Millersport determined they didn't have enough officers to support a contract with Thurston.
If village officials choose to contract with an agency, they anticipate the levy would fund least 20 hours of service per week. Thurston reached out to Pleasantville and learned Pleasantville is contracting with the Baltimore Police Department for about $25,000 per year.

Thurston has not yet reached out to Baltimore to see if the village is capable of taking on another contract.
The Eagle-Gazette went on a police ride-along in Pleasantville Tuesday with Baltimore Police Officer Matt Deskins to see what it's like to patrol an additional village. Deskins said he tries to be seen in Pleasantville while on patrol every hour if he can.
He responds to all kinds of calls in Pleasantville, everything from reports of drug abuse to domestic incidents between family members. During the ride-along, a resident stopped his police car to report a suspicious person walking the streets.
Even with Baltimore providing police service, the sheriff's office still responded to Pleasantville 657 times last year because it's not 24 hours day, 7 days a week service, according to sheriff's office data.

More: Eagle-Gazette journalists contribute to Pulitzer Prize award-winning story
The sheriff's office also takes on contracts with villages, but Thurston officials believe this option will be more expensive.
Bremen is the only village in the county to contract with the sheriff's office. Bremen only pays for the time the deputy spends in the village and is billed monthly.
Lape said it's difficult to gauge how much police service Thurston's proposed levy would pay for; it would depend on the contract.
Thurston officials said if the levy does not bring in enough money, it's possible the police fund could be supplemented by some income tax money collected by the village. But Reedy said it's unclear how much income tax money could be used to bolster the fund.
This isn't the first time Thurston requested a tax increase for police protection.
Thurston made a similar request in 2011, asking voters for an additional 7-mills. At the time, village officials told the Eagle-Gazette that there was no specific plan to implement police services if the levy passed, according to an article published on Aug. 17, 2011. The levy failed three months later with a 32 (for) to 86 (against) vote.
While the village still may not have specific plans to offer police service, Reedy said the village has options.

I have searched the web for days now and I cannot figure out why I get an "error 39" message when FTPing my images to a certain client only. When I FTP images to other clients, they receive them fine. The photo agency that I am trying to FTP to and am having problems with, has reported no other problems with their server. Every time I drop a group of photos into Fetch, it almost immediately says "error-39" and will not transmit my data. Does anybody know what is going on?!
Could you choose "Fetch Transcript" from the Window menu and post the contents after you get the error? That should help clarify what is going on.

Q: How to decode json into structs I'm trying to decode some json in Go but some fields don't get decoded.
See the code running  in browser here:
What am I doing wrong?
I need only the MX records so I didn't define the other fields. As I understand from the godoc you don't need to define the fields you don't use/need.
// You can edit this code!
// Click here and start typing.
package main

import "fmt"
import "encoding/json"

func main() {

    body := `
  {"response": {
  "status": "SUCCESS",
  "data": {
    "mxRecords": [
      {
        "value": "us2.mx3.mailhostbox.com.",
        "ttl": 1,
        "priority": 100,
        "hostName": "@"
      },
      {
        "value": "us2.mx1.mailhostbox.com.",
        "ttl": 1,
        "priority": 100,
        "hostName": "@"

      }
    ],
    "cnameRecords": [
      {
        "aliasHost": "pop.a.co.uk.",
        "canonicalHost": "us2.pop.mailhostbox.com."
      },
      {
        "aliasHost": "webmail.a.co.uk.",
        "canonicalHost": "us2.webmail.mailhostbox.com."
      },
      {

        "canonicalHost": "us2.smtp.mailhostbox.com."
      },
      {
        "aliasHost": "imap.a.co.uk.",
        "canonicalHost": "us2.imap.mailhostbox.com."
      }
    ],
    "dkimTxtRecord": {

  }
}}`

    type MxRecords struct {
        value    string
        ttl      int
        priority int
        hostName string
    }

    type Data struct {

    }

    var r apiR
    err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(body), &r)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Printf("err was %v", err)
    }
    fmt.Printf("decoded is %v", r)

}

A: As per the go documentaiton about json.Unmarshal, you can only decode toward exported fields, the main reason being that external packages (such as encoding/json) cannot acces unexported fields.
If your json doesn't follow the go convention for names, you can use the json tag in your fields to change the matching between json key and struct field.
Exemple:
package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "encoding/json"
)

type T struct {
    Foo  string `json:"foo"`
    priv string `json:"priv"`
}

func main() {
    text := []byte(`{"foo":"bar", "priv":"nothing"}`)
    var t T
    err := json.Unmarshal(text, &t)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    fmt.Println(t.Foo) // prints "bar"
    fmt.Println(t.priv) // prints "", priv is not exported
}

A: You must Uppercase struct fields:
type MxRecords struct {
    Value    string `json:"value"`
    Ttl      int    `json:"ttl"`
    Priority int    `json:"priority"`
    HostName string `json:"hostName"`
}

type Data struct {
    MxRecords []MxRecords `json:"mxRecords"`
}

http://play.golang.org/p/EEyiISdoaE

A: The encoding/json package can only decode into exported struct fields.  Your Data.mxRecords member is not exported, so it is ignored when decoding.  If you rename it to use a capital letter, the JSON package will notice it.
You will need to do the same thing for all the members of your MxRecords type.

At the trailer release of Thugs of Hindostan, Amitabh Bachchan was asked about the Tanushree Dutta-Nana Patekar controversy. However, Big B's comments have left the actress angry.
Ever since Tanushree Dutta alleged that Nana Patekar had sexually harassed her while shooting for Horn Ok Please back in 2008, the internet has been buzzing about the controversy. A number of Bollywood stars have since spoken out and supported Tanushree in her quest for justice against such harassment. All of last week, the actress has been in the news, making headlines with her stark statements and accusations.
Now, in an interview with HT, Tanushree expressed her disappointment with Big B's response to the entire controversy. "I'm hurt, as these are people who do movies on social causes." Talking further about how these movies win the hearts of the audience, the actress shared, "But when it comes to standing up and doing something about what is happening in front of you, there are these evasive statements that don't make sense," the actress said.
Meanwhile, the situation between Tanushree Dutta and Nana Patekar has been heating up. Last week, news dropped that Nana Patekar will send a legal notice to Tanushree for character assassination. To which the actress had strong words for the veteran actor. Now, the news is also abuzz that Nana will hold a press conference on the issue and set the record straight.

which I endeavour to transfer to canvas in a way which inspires.
Coming from a creative family I was exposed to artistic pursuits at an early age and found in drawing a satisfying pastime that my parents actively encouraged. Later on I completed a full time two year Art and Design course covering the principles of perspective, anatomy, drawing from life, design principles, colour theory etc. I was unable to take up painting due to family and work commitments till many years later.
I have been exhibiting, selling and winning awards for my work for about 20 years and consider myself as self-taught. Along the way I have gained my painting knowledge through watching demonstrations, doing workshops and years of personal experimentation.
For many years I worked in Pastel, but now prefer Mixed Media, Acrylic and Oil on stretched canvas. My work has become more abstracted in recent years, but I still believe the traditional basics as being essential to diversify and progress.
Plus many Commended and Highly Commended Awards at various Art Exhibitions around Melbourne and Regional Victoria, Group Exhibitions and The Australian Guild of Realist Artists.
Commissioned to paint a Local Scene by Knox Leader Newspaper.
Exhibited in Without Pier, Sherbrooke, Mulgrave and AGRA Galleries.

Google hires a car guy
by Chris Isidore @CNNTech September 14, 2015: 10:20 AM ET
John Krafcik, a former head of Hyundai Motor America, will be CEO of Google's self-driving car program.
Google has found a car guy for its self-driving car program.
John Krafcik, who previously was CEO of Hyundai Motor America and a product development executive at Ford Motor (F), will be the CEO of Google's self-driving car program.
Krafcik had been president of online car sale site TrueCar before taking the position with Google.
Google has been testing self-driving cars on public roads and highways in an effort to bring about a new generation of automobiles. It started out attaching sensors and self-driving technology to cars built by other automakers, such as a Toyota, Lexus or Audi.
But now Google is having a unique gum-drop shaped car designed and built for its own program.
Google's self-driving car is ready for the road
Krafcik was in charge of Hyundai when it made a major push in the U.S. market, as the Korean automaker enjoyed a 50% jump in sales during his tenure there.
Google has yet to give a target date for when its self-driving car might be available for sale, and whether it will sell the cars itself or license the technology to established automakers.
The hiring of an executive with sales experience suggests Google might be getting closer to selling the car itself than has previously been expected.
This is a great opportunity to help Google develop the enormous potential of self-driving cars. I can't wait to get started.
— John Krafcik (@johnkrafcik) September 14, 2015
Last month, Google (GOOGL) announced a new corporate structure. Different units of the company will be split off in separate divisions from Google's core Internet business. The self-driving car program will fall under Google X.
Google did not immediately respond to questions about hiring Krafcik, whose new position was first reported by Automotive News and confirmed by TrueCar (TRUE). Krafcik said in a tweet that he'll be joining Google later this month.
"Self-driving cars could save thousands of lives, give people greater mobility & free us from things we find frustrating about driving today," he said in a subsequent tweet.

Альта-Виста,  — район г. Оттава, Онтарио, Канада. Название связано с дорогой Альта-Виста-драйв, проходящей через большую часть района (но также и через соседний район Ривервью). Как дорога, так и район названы так за относительную возвышенность; высота над уровнем моря в районе Альта-Висты выше, чем в среднем по городу.

Население Альта-Висты составило в 2006 г. 23456 человек.

Границами района являются:
 Смайт-роуд на севере (отделяет от района Ривервью;
 бульвар Сен-Лоран на востоке;
 Уокли-роуд и Херон-роуд на юге;
 Бэнк-стрит и Риверсайд-драйв на западе.
Тем не менее (в первую очередь в связи с тем, что деление Оттавы на районы является историческим, а не официальным), из Альта-Висты иногда выделяют ряд районов, а также основную территорию Альта-Висты (к югу от Плезант-парк-роуд, к северу от Херон-роуд и к западу от восточного зелёного коридора), вдоль дороги Альта-Виста-драйв. Кроме того, название Альта-Виста также используется для территории соседнего района Ривервью, прилегающей к Альта-Виста-драйв.

Это преимущественно жилой район с хорошо развитой общиной. Здесь находится несколько школ, церквей и общинных центров. Альта-Виста покрыта зеленью, здесь находится несколько парков и озеленённых площадок, многие из которых были образованы в рамках Экологической оценки транспортного коридора Альта-Виста (Alta Vista Transportation Corridor Environmental Assessment).

Через Альта-Висту проходят скоростные маршруты (Transitway) оттавского городского автобуса OC Transpo, включая два терминала: Плезант-парк и Риверсайд. К району примыкают два других терминала: Смайт и Биллингс-Бридж.

На пересечении Смайт-роуд и Риверсайд-драйв находится Риверсайдское отделение Оттавской больницы. Также на территории Альта-Висты находятся два крупных торговых центра: Billings Bridge Plaza на углу Бэнк-стрит и Риверсайд-драйв, и Elmvale Shopping Centre на углу бульвара Сен-Лоран и Смайт-роуд.

Best of the Saints: Jason Dodd
By SFC Media time Mon 11 Oct	History
Former Southampton captain Jason Dodd was a trusted right-back who served the club with remarkable consistency over a period of 15 years, racking up a grand total of 483 games to place him sixth on the all-time appearance list. That leaves the former defender with a lot to remember and plenty to talk about…
Best match?
My home debut, when we played against Liverpool. They were the champions and I was an 18-year-old lad. The week before, I'd made my debut up at QPR because Raymond Wallace was suspended – I'd given a penalty away, Timmy Flowers saved it and we won 4-1. Back in those days the team was announced at quarter to two in the dressing room, and I didn't know I was going to be playing against Liverpool until Chris Nicholl came in and said it was going to be an unchanged team. All the senior players were abusing me, trying to embarrass me, but then we've gone out and played Liverpool, who were an amazing team, and we won 4-1. I put a cross in for Paul Rideout to score the first goal – it was just surreal. This was only six months after I'd arrived from Bath City, so for me it was just an unbelievable experience. The nicest thing about it was John Barnes coming up to me at the end of the game and saying, 'well done, Jason – well played'. I didn't even think he'd know my name, so it was just a lovely touch and that's always stayed with me because it doesn't matter how good you are, you can still be grounded. For someone like him to say that just made my day.
Best achievement?
Playing as many games as I did. I had 13 different managers while I was at the club, and for six or seven years I was captain. In theory, every time there's a change of manager everyone starts on an even keel, and if you haven't been playing for the previous manager it opens the door for you. For me, staying in the side, staying as captain and playing the number of games in the top flight that I did, that was my greatest achievement. People don't see the work that professional footballers go through to stay fit, stay in form and stay in the manager's eye to make sure he picks you. I always wanted to play every game – how I'd deal today with having to rotate, I don't know! Coming to games, looking at the programme and seeing I was in the top three for appearances every season – that was the most important thing for me.
Best goal?
I didn't get that many! I'd probably say one of my first goals, against Crewe in the FA Cup, when I've cut in on my left and bent it in the top corner, or one against West Ham at The Dell from about 25-30 yards that flew into the top corner. I didn't score that many, but it tended to be that when I did score, they weren't bad goals.
Best assist?
It's quite funny because everyone takes the mickey out of me that on Matt Le Tiss's 100 goals, I tend to be in quite a few of them! He used to score headers and I assisted quite a few for our Matthew. I had a great understanding with Tis – I knew exactly where he was going to be and what he wanted to do, so I didn't even have to look. It would be difficult to nail one down, but I'd probably have to say my first assist when I put the ball in for Paul Rideout to score against Liverpool.
Best teammate?
Tis, there's no doubt about that. I've been very lucky because when you're playing in the top flight all the players are good! In the early days there was Alan Shearer and Rod Wallace – we played in the England Under-21s together and won the Toulon Tournament as well. In the early part of my career there was Jimmy Case, Glenn Cockerill and Russell Osman – I learned so much from those boys, I've got so much respect for them and still do now. Even now, Glenn Cockerill runs the ex-Saints, and if he rings me up and asks for anything, I do what I'm told! That's just the respect you have for your senior players.
Dodd would occasionally take penalties in Le Tissier's absence, and scored 13 goals for Saints
Best lesson?
I was never the best player, but I was always a player the manager could trust in. If he needed something sorted out, I'd be the man to do it. As I got a little bit older, we had the senior pros who were controlling the dressing room for the manager. Those learnings that I picked up from the senior pros certainly helped me when I was skipper for a good few years.
Best character?
Iain Dowie used to make me laugh, just because of the confidence he had in his own ability. In training the ball would be bouncing off him all over the place, but he still felt he was the best player! He used to get a bit of stick from the supporters, but it never fazed him at all. When we had a six-a-side you'd pick him in your team because you knew what you were going to get – he'd give absolutely everything. He had a load of patter, just a wonderful character to have around. In those times we were normally relegation favourites, so we needed a really strong dressing room. You needed characters like Iain Dowie, because it was always hard for us.
Best manager?
All the managers I've worked under were fantastic, but there were two key ones for me in the best part of my career. Glenn Hoddle was brilliant because it was all about small percentages – the psychology, the preparation, with everything like that Glenn was magnificent. I had three years with Gordon Strachan when I was captain and those were probably my best years. We finished eighth and got to the FA Cup final in Cardiff. It was the fittest I've ever been and we had a really good side, some wonderful players. I'd do anything for him because even though I was over the age of 30 by then, if I was doing what he wanted and performing well, he would reward you with a contract. He was honest and fair, and that's what I tried to bring into my coaching and management. I learned a lot from Gordon, he was fantastic for me.
Best opposition team?
I was a Man United fan from the early 80s when Man United were struggling and Liverpool were winning everything, so it was strange to play against the team you used to support. For me, I watched them at Old Trafford and then I was lucky enough to play against them up there as well. It was a privilege in the 90s because they had the best players and you wanted to see where you were in relation to them. The Arsenal Invincibles were fantastic as well, with the likes of Bergkamp and Henry, so those would be the two best teams. It was a great challenge and I loved it.
Dodd keeps a close eye on Ruud van Nistelrooy at Old Trafford
Best opposition player?
I can honestly say as a full-back I didn't get ripped apart too much, but I remember facing Arsenal and Anders Limpar played, and we were about five down at half time! He absolutely rinsed me. For that 45 minutes I couldn't get near him – it was a lesson. It sounds silly but most weeks I was up against a wonderful player. I used to do my homework on my opponent so I knew exactly what their strengths and weaknesses were, and what I could do to help the team.
Anders Limpar was an elusive winger for Arsenal in the early 90s
Best away day?
Apart from Twerton Park?! Everything about Old Trafford was just immense – the atmosphere, the build-up, going out to warm-up… I'd also have to say Anfield when we first started and it was all standing. People say I have quite a loud voice, but Kevin Moore was probably five yards away from me and I was shouting at him at a corner and he couldn't hear me, because the noise of the Kop was unbelievable. Those are great memories, but I'd have to say it would be Old Trafford, just because I was a supporter when I was younger.

Will new school be a waste of money?
A radical technology professor who is involved in the building of more than 500 schools around the globe has warned that the inclusion of corridors and other old-fashioned features in the 21st century is tantamount to wasting money on a backwards model of educating children.
Professor Stephen Heppell, a leading voice on the role of technology in learning who heads his own consultancy firm and is advising the government on the use of technology for the 2012 Olympics, is in the isles this week as part of the 2009 Global Classroom Conference. He delivered a wide-ranging talk on how to use technology to improve teaching pupils at the museum on Monday morning.
After delivering an informal one-hour presentation on "Learning and the Future", professor Heppell said that while he did not want to be drawn on too many specific details of the proposed £49 million new Anderson High School – due to go before the SIC's planning department later this month – he was clear that features like corridors were symptomatic of an outdated "cells and bells" notion of teaching.
He said it was great that such a large sum was being spent on a school to educate Shetland's pupils for decades to come but "what you don't want to do is waste it on features that are of the last century. You could build something fabulous for that. A really good starting point would be: 'Will people fly here to see how good the school is?' If the school is just an improvement, you probably don't need to spend £50 million".
Fifty-two students and 14 staff members from schools across the globe are in the isles this week along with a team of Shetland students and staff, with visitors from as far afield as New Zealand, the USA and South Africa as well as the Czech Republic, Germany and Sweden.
They gathered to hear professor Heppell stress the importance of breaking out of the narrow boxes in which learning was trapped over the second half of the 20th century. Between 1950 and 2000, he said, education has been restricted to "factory schools" – using the example of manufacturing plants where people who put the wheels on the left hand side of a car never saw the right hand side.

Sorg (fränkisch: Soach) ist ein Gemeindeteil des Marktes Wendelstein im Landkreis Roth (Mittelfranken, Bayern).

Geographische Lage
Das Dorf grenzt im Süden an die Schwarzach und im Westen nahtlos an Großschwarzenlohe. Eine Gemeindeverbindungsstraße führt nach Großschwarzenlohe (0,8 km südwestlich) bzw. nach Wendelstein (1,5 km nordöstlich), eine weitere führt zur Staatsstraße 2239 (0,6 km nordwestlich).

Geschichte
Die Herkunft des Ortsnamens ist nicht genau geklärt. Am wahrscheinlichsten ist die Ableitung von einem Flurnamen Sorge, der wegen des dürftigen Bodens so benannt wurde. Eine Ableitung vom mittelhochdeutschen zarge (Einfassung, Umwallung) ist ebenso möglich wie eine Ableitung von sordig (sumpfig).

Um 1200 befand sich an der Stelle des heutigen Ortes eine Furt durch die Schwarzach. Durch diese verlief der so genannte Hennegesteig, der von Schwabach nach Altdorf bei Nürnberg führte. Ausgrabungen belegen frühe Gebäude zur Sicherung der Furt. Am 7. November 1347 wird der Ort erstmals urkundlich erwähnt, als Sorg im Rahmen eines Reichslehens des späteren Kaisers Karl IV. an Heinrich von Kornburg (auch: von Kurenberg, de Chvrenburc) fiel. Zu diesem Lehen gehörten auch das Wasserrecht an der Schwarzach von Wendelstein bis zur Mündung sowie das Mühlrecht. Im gleichen Jahr wurde die Mühle errichtet. 1422 ging die Gemarkung mit einer Heirat an die Herren von Seckendorff über, im Anschluss an Rieter von Kornburg. Ab 1424 ist eine Hammermühle nachweisbar. 1444 wurde die Mühle als Schleif- und Sägemühle sowie als Hammerwerk für Eisenstangen und Nägel beschrieben. Um die wirtschaftlich bedeutende Anlage zu schützen, wurde in der Nähe ein befestigter, noch heute bestehender Wohnturm errichtet. Der 16 Meter hohe Turm hat einen Grundriss von 8,2 × 6,4 Metern und hat auf jedem seiner zwei Stockwerke vier Zimmer. Hinter seinen bis zu 1,5 Meter starken Mauern lagerten die Besitzer Eisenstangen und Nägel aus dem Hammerwerk. In der Folge siedelten sich rasch mehrere Höfe in direkter Nachbarschaft an.

Im Zweiten Markgrafenkrieg ließ Albrecht Alcibiades den Ort niederbrennen. 1562 wütete die Pest. Im Dreißigjährigen Krieg plünderten Tillys Truppen Sorg. In der Folge ließen Hungersnöte den Ort weitgehend verfallen. Um 1660 siedelten sich österreichische und französische Glaubensexulanten an und machten sich an den Wiederaufbau.

Gegen Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts gab es in Sorg 18 Anwesen (1 Schlösslein, 10 Leerhäuser, 4 halbe Leerhäuser, 1 Gut mit Tafernwirtschaft, 2 Glasschleifen- und Polierfabriken). Das Hochgericht übte das brandenburg-ansbachische Richteramt Schwand aus. Die Dorf- und Gemeindeherrschaft sowie die Grundherrschaft über alle Anwesen hatte die Rieter'sche Stiftungsverwaltung Kornburg des Ritterkantons Altmühl inne.

Im Rahmen des Gemeindeedikts wurde 1808 Sorg dem Steuerdistrikt Großschwarzenlohe (I. Sektion) und der 1818 gebildeten Ruralgemeinde Großschwarzenlohe zugeordnet.

Erst zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts wuchs Sorg wieder. Vor allem das wieder aufgebaute Hammerwerk und die beginnende Industrialisierung trugen zum Aufschwung bei. Ein Glaspolier- und Spiegelwerk entstand. Mit Beginn der Glasschleiferei ab 1811 siedelten sich zunehmend auch Arbeiter um das Werk an. 1879 wurden erstmals Brillengläser geschliffen. 1914 übernahm die Firma Julius Ernst Sill (heute Sill Optics) den Betrieb. Seit 1939 werden dort hochwertige Brillengläser und feinoptische Geräte gefertigt.

Am 1. Mai 1978 wurde Sorg im Zuge der Gebietsreform in Bayern nach Wendelstein eingegliedert.

Xaver Schalk erbaute 2005 die "Kapelle Zur Heiligen Familie".

Der Gemeindeteil hat eine eigene Freiwillige Feuerwehr.

Historie
Oblast dnešní Samoy byla osídlena Polynésany v 10.–7. století př. n. l. Roku 1722 ostrovy objevili nizozemští a francouzští mořeplavci. Podle velkého množství plavců na člunech byly ostrovy nazvány francouzským mořeplavcem Bougainvillem Plavecké ostrovy (Îles des Navigateurs). První kolonisté však byli Britové. V 19. století se o Samou začali zajímat USA a Německo. Na berlínské konferenci v roce 1899 si tyto mocnosti rozdělily sféry vlivu. Samojské ostrovy byly rozděleny 171. poledníkem. Západní část byla spravována Německem, východní USA. Na počátku 1. světové války byla německá (západní) část Samoy obsazena Novým Zélandem, který ostrovy spravoval až do roku 1962 jako mandátní území Společnosti národů, později poručenské území OSN. 1. ledna 1962 byla vyhlášena nezávislost na základě referenda. Východní část zůstala nadále pod správou USA jako Americká Samoa. V roce 1997 země ze svého oficiálního názvu vypustila označení Západní. V roce 2007 zemřel poslední nevolený panovník Malietoa Tanumafili II. a Samoa přešla na formu republiky parlamentního typu. 29. září 2009 zasáhlo Samou zemětřesení o síle 8,3 stupně Richterovy stupnice. Při následné vlně tsunami zahynulo několik desítek lidí.

Geografie

Ostrovy jsou sopečného původu lemované korálovými útesy. Vnitrozemí je hornaté (nejvýše ční Mauga Silisili 1858 m n. m. na ostrově Savai'i). Ostrovy jsou terčem ničivých tajfunů. Jinak na území státu panuje tropické podnebí, teplé, vlhké, ovlivněné jihovýchodními pasáty z Tichého oceánu. Průměrné teploty vzduchu se pohybují od 25 °C v červenci do 27 °C v lednu. Průměrný roční úhrn srážek činí 3200 mm.

Obyvatelstvo
Obyvatelstvo tvoří převážně Samoané (92,6 %), míšenci Evropanů a Polynésanů (7 %), Evropané (0,4 % , čili necelých 800 obyvatel v r.2020). Téměř všichni obyvatelé (99,7 %) se hlásí ke křesťanství. Hlavní náboženské skupiny jsou kongregacionalisté (34,8 % obyvatel), římští katolíci (19,6 %), metodisté (15 %), mormoni (12,7 %), Apoštolská církev (6,6 %), adventisté sedmého dne (3,5 %), tj.celkem 92,2 (včetně mormonů=synkretické církve) a malá minorita : víra bahá'í (stav podle sčítání lidu v roce 2001).

Na ostrovech se používá samojština a angličtina. Gramotnost dosahuje 99,7 %. Porodnost 2,94 dětí na jednu ženu. Lidé se zde dožívají 71 let. Průměrný věk je 25,2 let.

Státní zřízení
V čele státu stojí volený náčelník s 5letým funkčním obdobím. Oficiálními doživotními hlavami státu se stali dva nejvyšší náčelníci, kteří tuto funkci zastávali při vyhlášení nezávislosti v roce 1962. Po roce 1963 zůstal jedinou hlavou státu Malietoa Tanumafili II. do roku 2007, kdy zemřel. Jeho nástupci jsou však již voleni pouze na funkční období 5 let. Ovšem v ústavě není psáno, zda jde o republiku, nebo o monarchii. Samoa se někdy označuje jako monarchie.

Ekonomika

Samoa je rozvojový stát. V zemědělství pracují dvě třetiny obyvatelstva a vyprodukují 90 % exportu. Z plodin se sklízí kokosové ořechy, kopra, kokosový olej, taro, banány, papája, ananasy, mango a kakao. Chovají se prasata, skot a drůbež. Významná je i těžba dřeva. Část obyvatel se věnuje rybolovu. Do země ročně přijede cca 88 000 turistů a turistický ruch pro Samou představuje 25 % HDP. Jedna továrna zaměstnává 3000 lidí výrobou elektrických přístrojů pro australskou automobilku. HDP v přepočtu na osobu a rok činí 4067 USD (2020).

Doprava
V zemi jsou tři letiště s pevnou a jedno s nezpevněnou vzletovou a přistávací dráhou. Mezinárodní letiště se nachází cca 30 km od hlavního města. Při odletu je nutno platit odletovou taxu ve výši 60 tala (09/12) (1 tala = cca 8,5 Kč).

Na obou hlavních ostrovech je cca 790 km zpevněných a 332 km nezpevněných silnic. Na ostrove Savai'i je zpevněná cesta jen kolem ostrova podél pobřeží, na ostrově Upolu je krom okružní cesty možnost průjezdu po dvou cestách napříč ostrovem (sever–jih). Doprava mezi oběma ostrovy je zajištěna trajekty (cca každé 2 hodiny) nebo letecky. V hlavním městě Apia se nachází přístav.

K 7. září 2009 došlo v zemi k zásadní změně – vláda změnila dopravní pravidla na jízdu vlevo. Argumentem bylo, že změna obyvatelům umožní dovážet levnější vozy z Austrálie a Nového Zélandu.

Zajímavosti
 Samoa vyprodukovala nejvíce wrestlerů k počtu obyvatel než nějaká jiná země na světě. Nejznámější wrestleři ze Samoy jsou Eddie Fatu, Rikishi a kořeny zde má i známy herec a wrestler Dwayne Johnson.
 Zemřel zde světoznámý skotský spisovatel Robert Louis Stevenson.

Useful feedback as ever. Will be interesting to see if I get any other comments as I am still trying to learn and thanks to you I have already learnt a lot.
im not an wedge person so cant help you on that. I did not think wedges could be that big.
I thought wedges should have a time frame linked to its formation but i could be wrong as i dont use them.
From your chart its clear that its broken its down trend so now 2 possibility exist..Ether a new uptrend or sideways trend. Wait for a confirmation by a 123 low to form to give you a green light to go long.
If my charting and terminology is correct this looks to me like it has been in a falling wedge and has broken out. It has closed a gap also.
Worth keeping and eye on it but would be interested to hear from more experienced how you would target this?
My initial thinking would be to see it it hits resistance at 184.4 and drops back to the higher level of the gap at 178 and moves up from there. Comments welcome to help me learn further. I've spotted the breakout but not sure how to deal with it!

Prostatomegaly Causes
Prostatomegaly is a medical condition in which the prostate gland increases in size up to an abnormal level. It usually occurs at the age of 40 to 45 years. It may be mild, moderate or severe according to the symptoms of prostatomegaly. But when we talk about causes, these are limited. The usual causes behind prostatomegaly are discussed below.
It usually occurs in male at the age of 40 to 45 years. At this age, it is common that it enlarges in size. It is an aging phenomenon. It is considered normal at this age. It is not obvious that it will start increasing in size at the age of 40 but after 40, the chances of prostatomegaly are higher till 80 years of age.
Most of the men at the age of 50, suffer from the symptoms of prostatomegaly. But the exact cause behind it is still unknown.
Another common cause may be the changes in hormones of men. Hormonal change in body at the age of 40 or later, may cause prostatomegaly and other problems in men.
A family history with prostatomegaly or any other problem regarding prostate gland in ancestors may increase the risk of prostatomegaly in next generation.
Any kind of abnormality in the testicles of men, causes problem in fertility of men. It is also responsible for causing prostatomegaly. It has a strong connection with the testicles that if the testicles are removed at the very young age, there are no chances of having benign prostate hyperplasia BPH at the age of 40 or later.
These are the most common causes of prostatomegaly. But other than these causes, it may occur as a complication of many other diseases in men. It may also occur as an adverse or side effect of medications. It is sometimes secondary to the medications used for another problem in body. But these medications leads to prostatomegaly. So quiting these medications helps a lot in treatment of prostatomegaly.
As age passes, the size of the prostate gland increases and this increase in size is Normal. Its size increases as a result of multiplication of cells. Due to increase in size, it start covering the urethra and leads to various problems and most common of them is urinary retention. It may lead to further complications in body.
Other factors may include abnormalities or problems in the reproductive system of body in men, in testicles, and problems in the urinary system of men. Hyperplasia is a condition in which the cells multiply and a s a result the organ start increasing in size. This increase in size if occur in prostate gland then it is termed as prostatomegaly. It may occur at any organ of body.
The treatment is designed according to the cause behind it . As treating the leading cause behind prostatomegaly will help a lot in controlling benign prostate hyperplasia BPH in men. It is almost obvious at the age of 40 or above so men should follow some precautions to avoid it.

There's been a lot of «heated» debates regarding the throws approach added to Swift 2.0 in favor of Either<T,U>.
Swift exceptions compose poorly. You can't determine concrete ErrorType from a closure that throws, and can't throw/catch asynchronously.
That being said, I'm not going to convince you to use it or avoid it. That's entirely up to you, the app / framework you are working on and wether or not you need to do async calls with throws (which is a «fun» thing to accomplish).
And while this tip won't «solve» the issue at compile time is sure a nice way to «notify» the consumers of your API somehow.
- throws `CustomError`: Thrown when a unicorn is born.
As you can see this is not a «perfect» solution but is at least a great way of providing documentation for your callers as part of your internal documentation.
