Q: Json/Jackson ResponseEntity 406 Error - spring mvc 4 sorry my english.
i try to solve this error but i don´t know what could be
I'm new with spring and REST
i'm using:
*spring mvc 4.0.1
*NetBeans 8
*Hibernate
*Tomcat 8
*Oracle
*Json / Jackson REST
*AngularJS
the ERROR is 406 error when i try to get in my controller a object list with Json, when i try to get a simple String the answer is 200 (OK)
i try to add this line >> <mvc:annotation-driven/> in my dispatcher-servlet but then return:

USTA Serves, the National Charitable Foundation of the United States Tennis Association, announced that it has awarded 33 year-end grants totaling $420,650. The number of program grants awarded in 2010 was 59, totaling $855,150. Combined with scholarship awards, USTA Serves distributed more than $1 million in 2010.
The bi-annual granting process, a national initiative of USTA Serves, was developed to provide people with disabilities and disadvantaged, at-risk children in underserved communities the opportunity to learn to play tennis and improve their academic skills in a structured format, and also to help combat obesity by promoting healthy lifestyles. To date, USTA Serves has disbursed more than $10 million to a variety of programs that share those aims.
At funded program sites, children between the ages of 5-18 learn about healthy nutrition and lifestyles, responsible citizenship, study skills, and computer literacy. The grant recipients are chosen by a Grant Proposal Review Committee comprised of Foundation Board Members and USTA National staff, with important input from USTA Sections. They are awarded to programs that successfully combine tennis and education and help children pursue their goals and highest dreams by leading healthier lives, succeeding in school and becoming healthier citizens. The current year-end grants include one award supporting the children of deployed military personnel who are at particular risk for emotional and behavioral difficulties, and four adaptive awards granted to organizations that teach people with disabilities the importance of physical activity and life skills.
"USTA Serves is excited to continue investing financial and other resources to support organizations that believe in the powerful combination of tennis and education," said Deborah Slaner Larkin, Executive Director, USTA Serves. "We are proud of each organization's expertise, commitment and passion, and commend them for making an impact in the lives of the people they serve."

The Sony Distagon T* FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA Lens is a wide-angle lens for the Sony Full Frame A7 series mirrorless cameras designed by Zeiss and produced by Sony. This fast wide-angle lens is based on Zeiss' Distagon design, typically used in their wide angle lenses for a high relative aperture and wide angular field.
It was one of the first Mirrorless lenses to use their Direct Drive SSM system (DDSSM) autofocus system. This DDSSM enables faster and more precise focusing and is virtually silent, something that videographers will surely appreciate here. It's also the firs FE lens to feature an aperture ring like many Fujinon lenses have. This aperture ring allows you to change aperture quickly on the lens without having to turn the small aperture wheel in front of the shutter button. Many photographers feel that this is a more hands-on system and allows for more creative freedom, a statement I tend to agree with. The aperture ring is also de-clickable which allows for smooth aperture transition when shooting video.
This 35mm f/1.4 prime lens uses 12 elements in 8 groups, including three aspherical elements with a Sony AA lens (advanced aspherical). This design is an ultramodern optical path to compensate for CA and provide excellent angular sharpness even with maximum lens aperture, guaranteeing consistent optical performance for all exposure settings. Sony had something to prove here, that it could build a fast and extremely sharp lens for the A7 system.
The Sony 35mm f/1.4 is also weather proofed, so you should not have any problems shooting in light rain or dusty weather conditions.
This 35mm lens renders beautiful images. Thanks to a very large maximum aperture and the round 9 blade diaphragm, it produces gorgeous bokeh with a tack sharp subject. Zeiss are known for designing lenses with beautiful colors and remarkable contrast, and this lens is one of the best I've seen. There is also a huge separation between subject and background with a smooth and eye-pleasing transition.
The large maximum aperture also has another advantage, namely the ability to shoot (and focus) in little light while still delivering sharp images. This ability is something wedding photographers should be interested in, as this type of photography often involves shooting in darker places here a flash isn't always suitable. I'm not the kind of photographer who always shoots at the largest available aperture just because you can, but I must admit that in this case, I find myself switching to f/1.4 most of the time.
This lens is designed for both video and still images. The switchable aperture ring can be activated for manual control during instantaneous shots or disabled for a smooth and quiet operation when shooting video. Moreover, the variation of the angle of view during the aperture change (called "breathing") is minimal, an essential quality for moviemaking.
The Sony 35mm f/1.4 ZA focusses very fast, even indoors where most other FE lenses would struggle. Eye AF comes into its own with a fast prime like this, allowing for razor sharp portraits with the focus exactly on the iris. With a minimum focusing distance of only 30cm or 12″ you can get very close too, allowing for plenty of creative possibilities when it comes to composition.
Vignetting (shading in the corners) is noticeable at f/1.4. It cleans up nicely with the correct profile in Lightroom or another RAW editor like DXO. I tested this lens on the A7rm2, and noise is never really an issue when bumping up the exposure in the corners. Just stopping down by one stop eliminates any sign of vignetting. Distortion is virtually non-existent in this lens, what you'd expect from a large and heavy lens like this.
Both longitudinal and Axial CA can be problematic with this lens, especially when shooting at large apertures. In fact, I would say that this it's Achilles's heel. I've spent quite a few hours cleaning my images up in Photoshop, as none of the lens profiles remove CA totally.
To evaluate sharpness with wide angle lenses, I use four 300 dpi test charts. My camera is at base ISO; sensor stabilization is turned off, and I use a sturdy Manfrotto tripod. I do my best to precisely align the focal plane and make sure the focus is accurate. This method is not a controlled lab test by all means, but after testing many lenses over the past few years, I have to say that my results are generally in line with what I see with the images taken in real life.
As expected with a fast lens like this, there is some softness noticeable at maximum aperture. However, fast primes sharpen up nicely with your software of choice. And for portraiture, the SEL35F14Z is already sufficiently sharp at f/1.4. Any issues you might have with this softness at maximum aperture entirely disappears by f/2.8. This lens reaches maximum sharpness in the center by f/5.6 to f/8. We see some softness creeping in by f/11, due to the effects of diffraction setting in.
Although decent at f/1.4, I would not shoot anything corner-critical at this aperture. It takes about one or two stops until the corners sharpen up in line with the image center. You'll get the best corner performance between f/5.6 and f/11. Although there is a slight dip sharpness wise at f/11, this aperture is still very usable. Beyond that, we see the effects of diffraction setting in and causing a loss of sharpness.
I like the Sony Distagon T* FE 35mm f/1.4 ZA Lens. It's quite sharp wide open in the center at f/1.4 (although it does get even sharper if you step down to 2.8), has a beautiful bokeh and very natural transition in between, this is the Sony FE lens to get if you like to take portraits with a moderate wide angle lens. As expected, there is also some vignetting visible at the largest aperture, but this is eliminated at f/2.8 too.
Maximum corner-to-corner sharpness is achieved between f/5.6 and f/8, making this lens suitable for medium wide angle landscape work too. The standard 72mm filter size allows you to use your CPL and ND filters that most landscape photographers will most probably already have in their kit. The minimum focusing distance of just 12" or 30cm allows you much creative freedom when it comes to composition and advanced features of the Sony A7 series like Eye AF make shooting beautiful portraits a breeze.
The aperture ring is also worth mentioning. Sony seems to have taken some inspiration from Fujifilm who use one in all their prime lenses, and it's at times very handy to be able to change aperture with a ring instead of the on camera wheel. This aperture ring is also de-clickable, a feature often used by videographers who want to change aperture smoothly during shooting. These videographers will also be happy to know that autofocus is virtually silent and very fast thanks to the Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) motor used to move all that glass inside the lens.
There are some disadvantages to a fast and first class prime lens like this, though. Firstly, CA can be quite heavy, especially at large apertures. And due to the solid all-metal construction (with weather seals by the way) and an advanced optical construction of 12 elements in eight groups comes a hefty weight of 22.3 oz (630 g). Some photographers might find this too heavy for the relatively small A7 system, although I am not one of them. With this class of image quality, you'll always need a lot of glass, and it's a compromise I'm happy to make.
Hi Mike, I really like this lens despite the at times heavy CA.
Great review Wim. I had my eye on this for sometime and I think I will pull the trigger soon. This review helps a lot. Thank you.
It's a great lens Osman. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Your resources and waste
Your resources and waste FAQs News Community Get in Touch
We all produce waste.We believe that everybody can make a real difference
We all produce waste. Everything we use has to come from somewhere and it must go somewhere when we are finished with it.
We believe that everybody can make a real difference by thinking carefully about what we buy and before throwing something away.
We want to move towards a circular economy in which we keep resources in use for as long as possible, extract the most value from them whilst in use, then recover and regenerate products and materials at the end of their life, or the energy contained within residual waste.
This way we can maximise resource use and the reduction of waste overall.
The Circular Economy is supported by the 4Rs
The first step: reducing the overall amount of waste in the first place by preventing waste at source
By using our purchasing power as consumers and businesses, choosing products which are produced sustainably, use little or no packaging and are durable, we can reduce the amount of waste generated.
Buying only what we really need and avoiding single use products really helps to reverse the trend of today's throw-away society. And ensuring the food we buy is not wasted is good for the environment and your pocket
The second step; reuse
Give unwanted items a new lease of life by using them differently or passing them on to others in the community.
This way your unwanted items like furniture and bikes can find a fresh new home.
Opting for refillables, such as cups, and avoiding single use can make a real difference.
Reuse can save money, help local communities and prevent items ending up in land-fill.
Step 3: recycle more
Recycling materials saves valuable resources and can conserve energy
The more we recycle and buy recycled content products, the more competitive and available those products will become, supporting and driving demand for high quality recycled materials.
Recycling materials saves valuable resources and can conserve energy, and when we recycle locally it can help to further reduce a community's carbon emissions from transporting new goods long distances.
At Waterbeach we operate a Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) which contains machines that separate different materi-als including plastics, cardboard, metals and paper ready for use as raw materials for new recycled products
Step 4: recover leftover value
There is still waste left over after communities have reduced, reused and recycled as much as possible, but then the next step is to recover the materials that have ended up in the wrong bin through our 'MBT' system at Waterbeach.
What we want to do next is recover the energy in any materials that can't be recycled. This way the non-recyclable (black bag) waste can be put to good use rather than being sent directly to landfill.
We hope to gain permission to build an Energy from Waste (EfW) facility at Waterbeach which will use the non-recyclable waste as a fuel to heat up water to make steam, which will power a steam turbine to produce electricity and/or supply a local district heating network. You can find out more about the Energy from Waste proposals here.
Landfill. The last option for waste is currently landfill
Landfill is the oldest form of waste management and as a society we've decided to move away from putting rubbish in the ground as we need to manage waste more sustainably by adopting the 4Rs approach.
Landfills create around 36% of the UK's methane – a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
Landfill does not maximise the recovery of resources from residual wastes. We want to minimise waste and maximise the value to local communities and to society as a whole.

Global Language Hotspots
What is language endangerment?
What are language hotspots?
Why hotspots?
Enduring Voices Project
Top 5 language hotspots, October 2007.
In the 21st century our planet's natural resources have become endangered. It is widely accepted that the biosphere—the sum total of the planet's flora and fauna—is in great peril of collapsing as human populations make a massive impact on the natural world. But what is not widely known is that the human cultural "biosphere" —the sum total of all human cultures living on the planet today—is in even more peril.
Over half of the 7,000 languages spoken in the world today are likely to disappear this century, and with them we will lose a wealth of knowledge about human history, culture, and the natural environment. Most of what humans know about nature is encoded only in oral languages—languages that have never been written down or recorded. We face an immense knowledge gap: indigenous people often know more about local life forms than scientists do. Languages, often little-documented languages, contain an irreplaceable knowledge base about our connection to land, animals, and the ecosystem.
We stand at a precipice in human history. We are losing huge repositories of human knowledge with the demise of every language, every culture, and every elder who holds the key to their language. And within these languages are complex understandings of our ecosystem—the same ecosystem that we must understand fully to survive. The passing of a last speaker is equivalent (in the loss of knowledge to humanity) to burning down a sacred library of unique and profoundly important information.
It is imperative that we preserve the knowledge embedded within these languages for future generations.
Under the National Geographic Society's Enduring Voices Project, scientists meet with last speakers, listen to their stories, and document their languages with film, pictures, and audio to preserve their knowledge of species, landscapes and traditions before it vanishes. In addition, the Enduring Voices Project, where invited, assists indigenous communities in their efforts to revitalize and maintain their languages. By using video, still photography, audio recorders, and the Internet, the Enduring Voices Project will help empower communities to preserve ancient traditions with modern technology.
Where on the planet do we find the greatest threat of language extinction and how can we prioritize resources to respond to the crisis? To address this challenge, the Enduring Voices Project has introduced Language Hotspots.
Language Hotspots was conceived and developed by Dr. Greg Anderson and Dr. David Harrison of the Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages. It is a radically new way to look at the distribution of global linguistic diversity, to assess the threat of extinction, and to prioritize research. We define hotspots as concentrated regions of the world having the highest level of linguistic diversity, the highest levels of endangerment, and the least-studied languages. Rather than simply counting languages, Hotspots take into account the number of language families (which we call "genetic units") represented in an area to calculate linguistic diversity.

Q: 8 Variables in one line (Batch) I have tried multiple things with a code like this.
@echo off
set %1%=A
set %2%=B
set %3%=C
set %4%=D
set %5%=E
set %6%=F
set %7%=G
set %8%=H
echo %1%%2%%3%%4%%5%%6%%7%%8%%9%

But kinda nothing worked, the output was this:
1%2%3%4%5%6%7%8

How do I get it to output ABCDEFGH?

A: Try with
@echo off
set _1=A
set _2=B
set _3=C
set _4=D
set _5=E
set _6=F
set _7=G
set _8=H
echo %_1%%_2%%_3%%_4%%_5%%_6%%_7%%_8%

Starting from the concept, your problem is that %n with n in the range 0..9 is handled by the batch parser as an command line argument to the batch file, not a variable expansion operation.
You can use number prefixed variable names, but then you will require to enable delayed expansion and change the variable expansion syntax from %varName% in to !varName! to be able to retrieve the value. It is easier not use number prefixed variables names.
The second problem is that the syntax %varName% is only used where the variable value needs to be retrieved. When you set the value, the syntax is set varName=varValue, or still better you  can quote the operation as set "varName=varValue" to avoid problems with special characters and inclusion of unneeded ending spaces.

A: Your question is not clear. The code below do exactly what you requested:
@echo off
set A=A
set B=B
set C=C
set D=D
set E=E
set F=F
set G=G
set H=H
echo %A%%B%%C%%D%%E%%F%%G%%H%

However, is likely that this obvious solution is not what you are looking for...
If you want to know if is there a way to "automatically" define a series of variables and process they all, then the solution is to use an array. You may read the description of the array concept in this Wikipedia article and a detailed explanation of array management in Batch files at this answer. For example:
@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

rem Create "a" array with all elements given:
set n=0
for %%a in (A B C D E F G H) do (
   set /A n=n+1
   set a[!n!]=%%a
)

rem Show the 8 elements of "a" array
echo %a[1]%%a[2]%%a[3]%%a[4]%%a[5]%%a[6]%%a[7]%%a[8]%

rem Join *all* the elements of "a" array in a single variable
set "all="
for /L %%i in (1,1,%n%) do set "all=!all!!a[%%i]!"

echo %all%

Note that the last example works correctly no matters how many elements have been defined in "a" array.
Although you may also write the array elements in a shorter way, ommiting the braquets: set "a1=A" & set "a2=B", etc, and then use echo %a1%%a2%..., you should remember that the use of braquets is a standard notation used in many other programming languages, so it is convenient to keep it.

The Khoikhoi ("people people" or "real people") or Khoi, spelled Khoekhoe in standardised Khoekhoe/Nama orthography, are the native pastoralist people of southwestern Africa. They had lived in southern Africa since the 5th century AD. When European immigrants colonised the area after 1652, the Khoikhoi were practising extensive pastoral agriculture in the Cape region, with large herds of Nguni cattle. The Dutch settlers labelled them Hottentots (/ˈhɒtənˌtɒts/), in imitation of the sound of the Khoekhoe language, but this term is today considered derogatory. Archaeological evidence shows that the Khoikhoi entered South Africa from Botswana through two distinct routes—travelling west, skirting the Kalahari to the west coast, then down to the Cape, and travelling south-east out into the Highveld and then southwards to the south coast. Chiefly, the largest group of the Khoikhoi to remain as a group are the Namas.


Who is this aimed at?!
You know when you enter someone's office and sit in front of their desk, and on the desk facing out towards the general public there is a foot-long sign with that very important person's name engraved on it? I'm assuming that this plaque — spotted in the latest Wesley Owen catalogue — isn't one of those.
On the other hand the catalogue does say "great gift ideas for everyone", so why shouldn't our Lord not want one for his desk?

Kerry says U.S. will not accept restrictions in South China Sea
KUALA LUMPUR - Thursday, August 06, 2015 20:55 Email Print
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry speaks during a news conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia August 6, 2015. Photo: Reuters/Brendan Smialowski/Pool
Kerry asks China to end 'problematic actions' in South China Sea
Southeast Asian nations back halt to land reclamation in South China Sea
Kerry raises South China Sea concerns with China's Wang
Philippines wants South China Sea talks despite China's reluctance
China's island-building faces scrutiny at Asia security talks
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday accused China of restricting navigation and overflights in the disputed South China Sea, despite giving assurances that such movements would not be impeded.
Addressing a regional meeting in Kuala Lumpur that has been dominated by the South China Sea, Kerry said China's construction of facilities for "military purposes" on man-made islands was raising tensions and risked "militarisation" by other claimant states.
Kerry's blunt criticism of Beijing, in front of his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi, is likely to lift the South China Sea up the agenda when Chinese President Xi Jinping visits Washington next month, some experts said.
"Freedom of navigation and overflight are among the essential pillars of international maritime law," Kerry told the East Asia Summit attended by foreign ministers from around the region.
"Despite assurances that these freedoms would be respected, we have seen warnings issued and restrictions attempted in recent months," Kerry said.
"Let me be clear: The United States will not accept restrictions on freedom of navigation and overflight, or other lawful uses of the sea."
China has repeatedly warned Philippine military aircraft away from the artificial islands in the Spratly archipelago of the South China Sea, Philippine military officials have said.
The Chinese navy also issued eight warnings to the crew of a U.S. P8-A Poseidon surveillance aircraft when it conducted overflights in the area in May, according to CNN, which was aboard the U.S. aircraft.
China claims most of the South China Sea, through which $5 trillion in ship-borne trade passes every year. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and Brunei also have overlapping claims.
There was no immediate reaction from Chinese officials to Kerry's criticism, some of his strongest yet over the issue.
Ruan Zongze, a former Chinese diplomat with the China Institute of International Studies, a think-tank affiliated with the Foreign Ministry, said China and the United States would not allow the South China Sea spat to overshadow Xi's trip.
"There's so much else to discuss. It's in neither country's interests to allow this to affect the broader picture," Ruan said.
Commitment not "fulsome"
China says the outposts in the Spratlys will have undefined military purposes, as well as help with maritime search and rescue, disaster relief and navigation.
Wang said on Wednesday that Beijing had halted land reclamation and that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and China shared a desire to resolve the thorny issue through dialogue.
In June, China said it would soon complete some of its reclamation, while adding it would continue to build facilities on the man-made islands.
Kerry said he hoped China had stopped island building, but that what was needed was an end to "militarization".
He added that Wang's commitment to resolving the South China Sea issue had not been as "fulsome" as some had hoped.
"In my meeting with ... Wang Yi, he indicated I think a different readiness of China to try to resolve some of this, though I think it was still not as fulsome as many of us would like to see," Kerry later told reporters.
"But it's a beginning, and it may open up some opportunity for conversation on this in months ahead. We'll have to wait and see."
Kerry said he had urged all claimants to make a joint commitment to halt further land reclamation and construction of new facilities or militarization on disputed features.
Carl Thayer, a South China Sea expert at Canberra's Australian Defence Force Academy, said while Washington was "upping the ante", Kerry's words had to be followed through with actions.
"China has already stopped construction. They're building the infrastructure," said Thayer. "China is slowly excising the maritime heart from Southeast Asia."
Recent satellite images show China has almost finished building a 3,000-metre-long (10,000-foot) airstrip on one of its seven new islands in the Spratlys.
The airstrip will be long enough to accommodate most Chinese military aircraft, security experts have said.
ASEAN, which wound up its meetings on Thursday, said some members had "serious concerns" about land reclamation in the South China Sea, according to a final communique.
Members states had wrangled hard before finally agreeing on the wording of the document.
According to a senior Southeast Asian diplomat, most members of the 10-nation bloc pushed hard for a "united, comprehensive" statement on the South China Sea despite pressure from Beijing.
"Competing claims are not going to be resolved any time soon, so it is important for ASEAN to present a united front," he said.

CVSA Supports the U.S. DOT's National Roadway Safety Strategy
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has announced the launch of its National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS) to address the crisis on our nation's roadways. Almost 95% of our nation's transportation deaths occur on our roadways and they are on the rise.
"Those lost are our family members, our friends, our colleagues, our neighbors," said Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. "Americans deserve to travel safely in their communities. Humans make mistakes and as good stewards of the transportation system, we should have in place the safeguards to prevent those mistakes from being fatal. Zero is the only acceptable number of deaths and serious injuries on our roadways."
The NRSS incorporates the principles of an integrated Safe System approach with the goal of eliminating fatalities and injuries on our highways, roads and streets. The Safe System approach requires supporting a safety culture that places safety first and foremost in road system investment decisions. There are six principles that form the basis of the Safe System approach: deaths and serious injuries are unacceptable, humans make mistakes, humans are vulnerable, responsibility is shared, safety is proactive, and redundancy is crucial.
"The membership of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) is comprised of commercial motor vehicle safety inspectors and officials and motor carrier industry representatives who are dedicated to transportation safety," said CVSA Executive Director Collin Mooney. "Our membership is committed to supporting the U.S. DOT in its commitment to zero fatalities on our roadways through the implementation of identified safety priorities and the Safe System approach."
Some of the priorities identified in the NRSS specific to the commercial motor vehicle enforcement and motor carrier industry communities include:
Implementation of the October 2021 final rule that requires state driver's licensing agencies to access and use information obtained through the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse and take licensing actions against commercial motor vehicle drivers who have drug or alcohol violations in the system and are not cleared to return to duty
Improved accuracy of commercial driver's license (CDL) driver records and the identification of additional opportunities to use these more accurate records to take unsafe commercial motor vehicle drivers off the road more expeditiously
Increased highly visible commercial motor vehicle traffic enforcement targeting risky driving behaviors, especially speeding; the department identified speed enforcement, deployed equitably and applied appropriately to roads with the greatest risk of harm due to speeding, as a tactic that may provide significant safety benefits and save lives
The continued commitment to identifying high-risk companies and operators of commercial motor vehicles using a data-driven and performance-based approach, including roadside commercial motor vehicle safety inspections
The department's renewed commitment to roadway safety encompasses priority actions in five categories: safer people, safer roads, safer vehicles, safer speeds and post-crash care. The recent passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law provides substantial resources and tools to improve safety and save lives and is a prime opportunity to leverage the NRSS.
"As we embark on this reinvigorated effort, we are relying on our partners to also identify and commit to near-term actions that will help make our collective efforts to reach zero a reality," added Transportation Secretary Buttigieg.
"On behalf of the Alliance, I'd like to thank Transportation Secretary Buttigieg and the U.S. Department of Transportation for their leadership and action in this undertaking," said Mooney. "We look forward to working together toward our shared vision of zero roadway deaths."

The West Medford Afro-American...
Edward ("Buddy") Clayton
Summary biography
Mr. Edward "Buddy" Clayton, the first African American Postmaster from Medford, was born in Cambridge on November 11, 1928. He moved to West Medford with his parents, Henrietta and Lloyd, when he was two years old. For the rest of his life he remained in West Medford, living in many residences but always staying on two streets, Jerome Street and Arlington Street, where he resides today in the home he built in 1960. While Mr. Clayton remains humble about his achievements, he made an impact as a pioneer and opened the way for others to follow him into positions of considerable responsibility. As a young boy, "Buddy" attended the Hervey School in West Medford, then the Brooks and Hobbs Schools, and finally Medford High School, from which he graduated in 1946. As he was growing up, Buddy got to know a young girl called Caroline Isaacs, who lived on Jerome Street. In 1950 he married her. They were to have three sons, Steven, David, and Peter. In the same year that they were married, Buddy enlisted to serve in the United States Army, leaving West Medford in September 1950. During his time in the service he attended medical school in Fort San Houston, where he was certified as a service technician. He worked in the medical corps in army camps in Wisconsin and Indiana, and was discharged in 1953. With his service behind him, Buddy returned to West Medford. At the time of his discharge jobs were difficult to obtain, and were especially limited for African Americans. Buddy did not wish to pursue the career in hospitals that he had mastered in the service, but the Civil Service was accepting veterans. After a long wait, he was hired by the United States Postal Service. In the Post Office he often encountered prejudice, but his years of hard work prevailed and he was promoted to Supervisor after seven years. This represented a considerable achievement. As Mr. Clayton recalls,
[A]t times I used to go to meetings-the Managers' meeting-and I would be the only African American there. …[Y]ou say to yourself, "With a 14, 16 per cent workforce of Afro-Americans, why there were not more supervisors," you know? But then as it went along it got better. And then…at one time there were ten Afro-American supervisors in the Post Office that lived in West Medford.
Buddy's promotion had made it easier for other people of color to follow him into managerial positions. When he became a Manager in 1973, Edward Clayton was in charge of several post offices in different parts of the Boston area, with numerous employees, and was on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition, he worked other jobs in order to support his family. He was called in the middle of the night to deal with post office fires and floods, and encountered several situations that threatened his safety. During the Blizzard of 1978, he walked and shoveled through deep snow to keep the main Medford Post Office open. In the same year, he was made Postmaster of his own city, in charge of 65 mailmen. He was then made Area Manager in 1981, with fifty post offices reporting to him. Through his strong work ethic and his dedication to his family, Edward Clayton has served as a role model, both for his sons and for the community more broadly. In 1981 the whole Clayton family was honored with Medford's Family of the Year Award. Buddy remains a respected figure in Medford, contributing to the city through his involvement in sports, through his church, his band, and as an oral historian with vivid memories of the West Medford community in times past.

The New Zealand Agricultural Show (formerly the Canterbury A&P Show) is hosted by the Canterbury A&P Association. It is the largest agricultural and pastoral show` in New Zealand and features a unique combination of agriculture and entertainment. The Show has welcomed over one million visitors since moving to Canterbury Agricultural Park in 1997. The Show attracts on average 100,000 people, over 5000 livestock and features competition entries and over 600 trade exhibitors.

History
The first Agricultural and Pastoral Show in Christchurch was held in a paddock north of Latimer Square on 22 October 1862. The Canterbury A&P Association was formed a few weeks later on 23 January 1863, with Robert Wilkin as its first president. In April 1863, the A&P Association purchased  in Colombo Street South for show grounds; this is now Sydenham Park. In November 1887, new show grounds opened in Addington.

In 1996, a much larger facility of  was bought in Wigram located on Curletts Road; it was the first purpose-built facility in New Zealand. It was named Canterbury Agricultural Park and was first used for the 1997 show.

In 2018, the Association took the decision to rebrand their Show to the New Zealand Agricultural Show. The vision of the Association is to continue providing, and building upon, an innovative platform where competitors, exhibitors and the latest in agricultural innovations can display.

The 160th CAPA Show will be held Wednesday 15 to Friday 17 November 2023. The only cancellations were in 1919 and 2020 & 2021.

Anniversary Day
New Zealand law provides an anniversary day for each province. The anniversary day for the Canterbury Province was originally 16 December, the day of the arrival in 1850 of the first two of the First Four Ships, the Charlotte Jane and the Randolph. The Friday of the A&P Show had since at least 1918 been the People's Day or Show Day, and sometime between 1955 and 1958, Christchurch City Council moved the anniversary day to coincide with Show Day, as this allowed banks and businesses to close and people to attend the A&P Show.

The definition for Show Day is the "second Friday after the first Tuesday of November (i.e. Show Day will be two weeks after the first Tuesday in November — on a Friday, mainly so that it does not clash with the Melbourne Cup Racing Carnival)" (note that Melbourne Cup is held on the first Tuesday in November). The anniversary day as set for the A&P Show is observed in mid and North Canterbury, whilst South Canterbury observes Dominion Day (the fourth Monday of September).

Christchurch/Canterbury New Zealand Cup Week

The Show coincides with the Cup week that has the a number of major horse and greyhound races, notably:
 the  New Zealand Trotting Cup for harness racing (pacers) on the Tuesday at Addington Raceway.
 the New Zealand Cup for Greyhounds on the Thursday at Addington Raceway.
 the New Zealand Cup for thoroughbred racing (gallopers) on the Saturday at Riccarton Park Racecourse.

The various race meetings contain a number of other key races in each of these racing codes.

Cyberpunk 2077 Development Team Is Over 60% Larger Than The Witcher 3 Team
Lou Contaldi
February 3, 2019 10:10 AM EST
NewsXbox OnePS4PC
CD Projekt Red isn't cutting corners with Cyberpunk 2077; the studio has increased the development team 60% since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
It comes as no surprise that Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red is much more financially stable than they were only a few years ago. Following the massive success of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the studio's growth was presumed. However, in a recent statement, we now know that CD Projekt Red's development team has grown over 60% since The Witcher 3.
News on this comes from polish investment publication, StockWatch, who was reporting on latest departure of Sebastian Stępień. In case you missed that story, Stępień (Cyberpunk 2077's Creative Director) left the team to join up with Blizzard Entertainment.
Creative Director of Cyberpunk 2077 Now Working With Blizzard
In a question to CD Projekt Red on whether this would at all hamper the development or vision of Cyberpunk 2077, the development team informed that it "will not affect the pace of work." More importantly, they dropped some interesting information: the team for the game is now over 400 people.
His departure does not affect the pace of work on our latest title in any way. The team working on Cyberpunk 2077 already has over 400 people.
Now that is a staggering number for CD Projekt Red. As a point of reference, that same team was able to build The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt with a mere 250 people (including a QA team that was outsourced). We did the math for you, and that is boasting a 60% increase in terms of manpower behind Cyberpunk 2077.
This may not come as such a surprise to some — we've seen some fairly big-name acquisitions to the Cyberpunk 2077 team, including RiME's lead level designer in 2018. However, the recent departure of such a high-level position would naturally have people wondering and how it is affecting team morale.
RiME Lead Level Designer Joins CD Projekt Red to Work on Cyberpunk 2077
More importantly, we are guessing how this 60% staffing increase will affect the game and our expectations for it. We already know that the team is hoping to match Red Dead Redemption 2's technical quality and the extended gameplay footage was nothing short of breathtaking. Even better, we know the game is officially playable from start to finish so the game is most certainly in its polishing stages.

First Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay Finally Revealed; it Looks Gorgeous and Brutal
Cyberpunk 2077 Is Now Playable from Start to Finish
Cyberpunk 2077 still has no known release date. While the rumor mill on that point continues to turn, CD Projekt Red has stated firmly that it will release "when it's ready." Just like The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the game is expect to launch on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Anyone hoping to pre-order the game and support the developer can already do so on Amazon.

Hello-and congratulations to all of you on your pregnancies! I was wondering what everyones feeling at this point-do your stomachs feel different? stretching? or sore?
Hi C - Congrats to you too. A few weeks ago my stomach felt sore when I wanted to eat. Now it doesn't - sometimes it feels heavy, sometimes lighter. I seem to just get dizzy and sick when I need to eat which is worse as there's no warning and its scary to think you could faint. I up 2 clothes sizes already so feels bigger but not stretched. I'm 13 weeks and 1 day today. Saw the baby on u/s yesterday and it was trying to do headstands.
C - I will be 13 weeks on Friday and I have noticed strange sensations the last few days. stretching... which is weird to describe, and I am not even sure that is what I am feeling. My tummy is definitely growing, but I am wearing the Bella Band, which makes me feel 1,000 times more comfortable. My pre-pregnancy clothes are gettiing too uncomfortable to wear all day without unb___toning. How are you feeling???
Hi Everyone, I am 13 weeks tomorrow. I have been feeling pretty good, sometimes the odd ache or pain. My clothing barely fits me. I went to Old Navy and bought some cute Maternity T-Shirts for very reasonable. Still trying to squeeze into my dress pants for the office, but pretty uncomfortable. Saw my baby last week, kicking away. Going back tomorrow for another U/S because last time they said the baby was too small to do the measurements. I was upset and nervous but was told this is normal and not too worry. Has anyone else heard of this.
Yes, it is normal to have your uteurs stretch, also I can feel the baby sometimes moving around.
I will be 13 weeks on Wednesday. My pre-preg clothes are definately tight. I went and bought a pair of size 10 jeans that are fitting nicely. (Pre-preg I was a size 4/6). I notice a stretching or pulling sensation in my abdomen when I stand up quickly from a sitting position.


Are Hockey Pucks the Answer?
A recent story has been circulating the news about Oakland University in Michigan, which recently implemented a decision to arm their faculty and students with hockey pucks to use in defense against an active shooter on campus. We have been getting many questions on the effectiveness of this and other similar plans, so CEO Jason Perry wanted to share some of his thoughts in the following video.
Jason will be diving into this topic even further on this weekend's Coffee With Trident Shield, live-streamed on our Facebook and Instagram pages every Saturday at 10am EST. If you are interested in knowing more after watching this video, please join us! And as always, you can learn more about our training philosophies and programs on our website.

Q: Limitations of getFiles and getDirectories when reachs file/folder the user has no access permissions Is there any workaround for dealing with the limitation of getFiles and getDirectories to return the content even if they reachs a access denied file/folder?
How can I make then return the filesystem tree with all files/folders a user has access permissions at least for reading?

A: There are a couple implementations of this. Basically, you can't use the default one because it will throw an exception and stop when a user has insufficient permissions. I usually see people list all the directories, and then try each one and catch any exceptions.

WebCDN
WebCDN helps form the foundation for several other websites by providing a front end for serving static content through a globally distributed content delivery network, while leaving dynamic content generation and serving to the individual sites.
A content delivery network (CDN) works by mirroring static content from the websites it serves on multiple servers placed around the world, so that said content will be more readily available and served faster to local users. This approach has the advantages of both giving those users a better surfing experience and also offloading the originating content server.
Can I have my content hosted here?
No. WebCDN is not a public service provider, it only provides its services to selected websites within the same network (and owned by the same people). It is based on publicly available technology which can be used through other providers, though.
Technology? Other providers? What is this of which you speak?
WebCDN is powered by (but not otherwise affiliated with) CloudFlare. It's awesome.
While WebCDN itself does not use cookies or log any personally identifiable information about you (except a cookie to remember you have been informed of our cookie policy - yes, it's a silly law forcing us to do this), we do make use of third-party scripts which may or may not make use of cookies or other methods of tracking you. If you don't like that, you should disable cookies in your browser or stop visiting this website altogether.
If you have concerns about any of the content being delivered through this service, you should use the contact information found at the site in question. There are only a couple of situations in which contacting WebCDN directly would be appropriate; if you find yourself in such a situation and really feel you must contact us, drop an e-mail to any address at the webcdn.net domain and we may get back to you if we agree.
Are you being unnecessarily mysterious on purpose?
No. Or are we...?

Season 2016/17 in numbers
Here's a look at some of the numbers behind 2016/17, which brought a Treble for Celtic and title wins for Hibernian, Livingston and Arbroath.
Here's a look at some of the numbers behind 2016/17, which brought a Treble for Celtic and title wins for Hibernian, Livingston and Arbroath.
47 Celtic completed the season unbeaten in domestic football to claim the fourth treble in their history. Brendan Rodgers' side played 47 games across the Ladbrokes Premiership, Betfred Cup and Scottish Cup and didn't lose a single game as the former Liverpool boss followed in the footsteps of Jock Stein (1966/67 and 1968/69) and Martin O'Neill (2000/01) with a clean sweep. Celtic racked up 106 league goals and earned 106 points from 34 wins and four draws as Rodgers' men surpassed the tally of 103 points set by O'Neill's team in 2001/02.
23 Ross County striker Liam Boyce was the leading scorer in the Ladbrokes Premiership with a hugely impressive 23-goal haul, including four in April's Highland derby. The Staggies finished the season seventh in the table but Northern Ireland internationalist Boyce topped the scoring charts, with two more league goals than Celtic's Scott Sinclair.
7 Premiership runners-up Aberdeen twice scored seven goals in a game in 2016/17. In February they thumped Motherwell 7-2 at Pittodrie, helped by an Adam Rooney hat-trick, and the following month the Dons won 7-0 at Dens Park when defender Andrew Considine was an unlikely hat-trick hero. Derek McInnes' men completed their league campaign by putting six goals past Partick Thistle at Firhill, with teenager Scott Wright grabbing a treble.
10 Kilmarnock striker Kris Boyd scored past Scott Fox after just 10.4 seconds of the 3-2 victory over Ross County at Rugby Park at the end of January. It was one of eight league goals scored by the former Scotland internationalist in the season just ended.
4 It was another successful season for St Johnstone under Tommy Wright. Saints finished fourth in the Premiership, just as they did in 2015/16, but earned two more points this time round. The Perth club can now look forward to European football in 2017/18 for the fifth time in six years.
2 Hamilton Accies became the first team to win the Premiership play-off final more than once. They defeated Hibernian on penalties in May 2014 to reach the top flight and beat Dundee United 1-0 on aggregate thanks to a Greg Docherty goal to stay in the Premiership.
19 Hibernian sealed a return to the top flight under Neil Lennon, losing just three of their 36 games. Hibs, along with Celtic, conceded fewest SPFL goals in 2016/17 (just 25) but they were also boosted by the goals of Jason Cummings. Along with Queen of the South's Stephen Dobbie, he was the leading marksman in the Championship with 19 league goals.
2 St Mirren looked certain to drop out of the Ladbrokes Championship after winning only two of their first 23 matches but Jack Ross' side lost just two of their last 14 matches to complete an incredible escape from the relegation zone on the last day of the season. In April alone they hammered Ayr United 6-2, Morton 4-1 and Raith Rovers 5-0.
9 Livingston earned an immediate return to the Ladbrokes Championship by winning the League 1 title in style. David Hopkin's team scored 80 goals - a total bettered only by Celtic - and ended the season with nine straight victories. Liam Buchanan was a key player for the Lions, with 22 league goals.
23 Airdrieonians striker Andy Ryan netted 23 times in Ladbrokes League 1 as the Diamonds finished third in the table. Along with Ross County forward Liam Boyce, ex-Hamilton man Ryan was the SPFL top scorer in 2016/17. He also netted a semi-final play-off winner against Alloa but the Diamonds lost the second leg on penalties.
1 Arbroath clinched the Ladbrokes League 2 title on the final day of the season, pipping local rivals Forfar Athletic who went on to win promotion via the play-offs. A major factor in the Red Lichties' success was their outstanding away record - the only defeat suffered by Dick Campbell's men on their travels was against Clyde at Broadwood back in September.
18 Elgin City striker Shane Sutherland was top scorer in Ladbrokes League 2 with 18 goals, one more than Clyde's Peter MacDonald. He reached that tally by mid-February and was badly missed when injury ruled him out for the last couple of months of the season - Jim Weir's men had looked certainties for the play-offs but ended in fifth place, a point behind Montrose.

World Car Of The Year down to its final four
Wed, 13 Mar 2013 10:44:00 EST
Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.
2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Now Even Sharper Than The Razor's Edge
There have been five Black Series models since the Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series introduced itself to European audiences in 2006. Following that, the Black Series club has hosted appearances by the 2008 CLK63 AMG Black Series, the 2009 SL65 AMG Black Series and last year's 2013 C63 AMG Black Series. The sixth member of the group is one we would have thought already was a Black Series car in its standard guise. Right out of the box, the SLS AMG is loud, frenetic, cozy, boisterous and frightfully easy to oversteer. How much more Black did it need to get?
Quite a bit so, apparently. The SLS AMG Black Series has lost weight, gained power and been refitted with upgrades and aero bits from front to rear. If you liked the way it looked before, you'll probably be an even bigger fan of this one. If you thought it looked ungainly, well, this one should stay even further away from pageants. Regardless of where you come down this is the best SLS AMG variant we've driven.
Mercedes-AMG teases GT interior, announces fall 2014 debut
Tue, 15 Apr 2014 21:00:00 EST
Mercedes-Benz opted to tease the assembled media at its post-New York Auto Show party, showing off a pair of images of the exquisitely crafted interior of the highly anticipated successor of the SLS AMG - the V8-powered Mercedes-AMG GT.
Slated for a debut in the fall at either Paris or Los Angeles (we're betting Paris), you'll note straight away that there's something wrong with this car's name. Where's the "Benz?" Well, it's been ditched to, as Mercedes says, "make the dream of the authentic Mercedes-AMG sports car come true." Sorry Karl.
"The new Mercedes-AMG GT proves that we will be positioning AMG as a dynamic sports car brand even more strongly and aggressively than before," said Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG.


It was a quick trip, but we had fun!!!
Cannot believe how big Ryan and Jaryn are getting. We are excited for you and your new adventure. Why not! Life is exciting right now anyway as we predict the economy and future legislations. We are anxious to see you on May 2.
So glad you could go to CA together, even Sadie.

Marquis Who's Who Top Educators
The leading source for prominent educators in the Marquis community
Featured Educators
C. Oland Summers, BA, MA, EdS, DA
by Marquis Who's Who ModeratorPosted on January 9, 2019 April 10, 2019
Title: Professor of Music Education Emeritus
Company: Gardner-Webb University
Location: Shelby, North Carolina, United States
C. Oland Summers, DA, Retired Full Professor of Music Education at Gardner-Webb University, has been recognized by Marquis Who's Who Top Educators for dedication, achievements, and leadership in music and higher education.
Delving into the field of music due to the influence of his parents, who were a semi-professional trombonist and church pianist, Dr. Summers spent his formative years singing in church choirs and playing in bands and orchestras. Upon pursuing higher education, he received a Bachelor of Arts in music education, instrumentals and vocals from Indiana State University in 1956, and won the Sinfonia Outstanding Freshman Music Award and the Harold Bright Outstanding Music Senior Award during this time. He elected to remain with the university, receiving a Master of Arts in music education and vocals in 1969. Upon gaining prominence in the field, he attended Ball State University, where he earned a Specialist in Education in music administration and Doctor of Arts in music performance and conducting in 1984 and 1986, respectively. He is a licensed music teacher for kindergarten through 12th grade in the states of North Carolina, Illinois and Indiana. Furthermore, Dr. Summers spent eight years in Army Bands, spending a significant amount of time with the "Caribbean Command Band," an military good-will group representing the United States.
Commencing his career as a high school band and choir director and chair of the music department at Rochester Community School Corporation in Indiana in 1959, Dr. Summers subsequently served the Vandalia Community Unit Schools #203 in Illinois as supervisor of music and director of bands for eight years, during which time his band was selected through contests as the "Governor's Band" for two years. He has also served Muncie Community Schools in Indiana as chairman of the music department and director of bands for three years, and Ball State University as the assistant director of bands for one year. Transferring to Gardner-Webb University soon thereafter, he acted as a professor of music education and director of bands for 13 years and a professor and program director of music education for 35 years prior to attaining emeritus status. Subsequent to his retirement, he briefly taught courses at the university for five years until 2017.
A former four-time keynote speaker for the North Carolina Music Educators Association, Dr. Summers was named Music Teacher of the Year by Gardner-Webb University in 1981. Prior to this achievement, he was honored as an Outstanding Postgraduate by Ball State University in 1976, Outstanding Layman of the Year by the Delaware County Council of Churches in 1973, and an Outstanding Educator of Fayette County by the Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1970. Earlier in his career, he received the Governor's Band Award from the State of Illinois in 1962. In addition to teaching, Dr. Summers participated in 35 Broadway musicals either on stage, or in the pit as the music director. He also is still actively working as a church musician, as he has done for over 68 years, and enjoys woodworking in his shop. Notably, he has been highlighted in the seventh edition of Who's Who in American Education and the 60th edition of Who's Who in America.

Last month I had the pleasure of meeting this family for the first time. This in-home session was a Christmas gift for mom, who was looking forward to being in the frame with her kiddos.
I documented a lovely, relaxed Saturday morning at their home - playing, drawing and eating lunch. It was wonderful to talk about the power of "story" with mom and dad over lunch - about photographs that have meaning, rather than just being pretty pictures.
It is so affirming to me when I meet other families who "get" what I do, and recognize and understand the significance of family documentary photography.
I hope this snapshot of their life at present proves to be a treasure in the years to come, when cribs and crayons and high chairs are a thing of the past.

Cardboard Typos and Gripe-o's—Part 1
For nearly 30 years, editing has brought home my bacon. It wasn't my desired profession; I fell into it like an open manhole—and I'm still trying to climb my way out. The grammatical, punctuational, and syntactic boo-boos I fix have been mostly in the medical and pharmaceutical fields, but they've been pretty easy to spot in my spare time as well—which means, to a degree, on the backs, and sometimes fronts, of baseball cards.
Years ago, I began jotting down factual errors and spelling typos (punctuation issues and lack of hyphenation are so rampant that chronicling them would be a never-ending and pointless task). I do not keep abreast of baseball card commentary as vigilantly as I once did, so at least one of the following errors has been posted elsewhere, which means that others—maybe many—in this simple and hardly comprehensive multi-part list might also have been documented in that long interim.
1958 Bob Lemon (#2): The right-hand cartoon states that Bob won "200" games in seven different seasons. Well, I'm pretty certain Bob would not have had to wait 13 years and 14 elections to make the Hall of Fame had he A) won 200 games in a season, and B) racked up more than 1400 victories in his career. (However, just as mathematician Edward Kasner, through his young nephew, gave the world the unit known as the googol (10100), I suggest that Major League Baseball follow Topps' inadvertent suggestion that a 200-win season be coined a Zeeeeeeeringg!—regardless of today's reliance on the bullpen.)
1952 Topps Mickey Vernon (#106): In the penultimate line of Mickey's bio, "Assists" is botched as "Asists." This is especially shoddy work considering that the same word is correctly spelled just three words to the left.
1933 Goudey John (Jack) Ogden (#176): Similarly to Lefty Gomez, this card states than Ogden was born November 5, 1898, when, in actuality, Ogden was born on this date in 1897.
1961 Topps Billy Loes (#237): In the cartoon on the right, "Dodgers" is misspelled as "Dogers." I've no idea if this was an extremely early attempt at a crypto-baseball card…
1955 Bowman Jim Piersall (#16): Across the first and second lines, Bowman botched the spelling of "American." If an American company can't spell "American," it's not going to be around much longer, eh Bowman?
1960 Nu-Card Baseball Scoops Merkle Pulls Boner (#17): This one must be well known—at least it should be thanks to its egregiousness. The year is embarrassingly incorrect in the byline—Fred Merkle's infamous failure to touch second base in that "semi-fateful" tie between the Giants and Cubs took place in 1908, not 1928. (I say "semi-fateful" because the outcome was blown out of proportion by the media and saddled poor Fred with an unfair albatross for the rest of his life—New York beat Chicago the following day and moved into first place.) Nu-Card does have it correct on the reverse. However, to add insult to injury, it repeated the error on the Merkle card in the 1961 set (#417).
1951 Topps Dom DiMaggio (#20): Dominic's name incorrectly possesses a "k" at the end. Topps rectified this in 1952.
Where has your "k" gone, Dom DiMaggio
Topps rationed you one, then finally got a clue
Woo, woo, woo
Lefty Gomez was born on November 26, 1908. This is according to the Baseball Hall of Fame, his SABR biography, Baseball Reference, and his own daughter, via her excellent biography of Gomez. Yet virtually all of Lefty's cards, including his 1933 and 1936 Goudey, 1940 and '41 Play Ball, 1941 Double Play, and 1961 Fleer, denote Lefty's birthdate as November 26, 1910. Obviously, an erroneous year of birth circulated in an official capacity for a long time.
The 1963 Bazooka All-Time Greats set contains its share of miscues.
Nap Lajoie (#8): The final sentence refers to Nap as "the lefty swinger," even though the famous Frenchman was one of the most celebrated right-handed hitters of his era. As well, his bio fails to mention overtly that Nap's epochal .422 season in 1901 occurred with the Philadelphia Athletics, not the Phillies. (Additionally, his career totals of batting average and home runs, as well as his 1901 batting mark, are erroneous; however, these stem from his career totals having been revised through extended research since the card's issuance—an unremarkable fact that likely pertains to many other vintage cards.)
Al Simmons (#22): Simmons' bio opens, "Al played with six different major league ballteams…" and concludes by listing them. Unfortunately, the Bazooka folks failed to count his half-season with the 1939 Boston Bees, making a total of 7 teams on his major league resume. Of course, no one wants their time with the Boston Bees to be remembered, but we've got to own up to it…
Johnny Evers (#21): That Johnny was a part of "the famous double-play combination of Evers to Tinker to Chance" stands as technically accurate—certainly, many of those celebrated twin-kills went 4-6-3—but this description flies in the face of Franklin P. Adams' famous poem that made household names of Evers and his Cubs compatriots. Thanks to "Baseball's Sad Lexicon" (originally published as "That Double Play Again"), the refrain "Tinker to Evers to Chance" literally entered baseball's lexicon and has always been known in that specific order. Perhaps it's fortunate that Adams did not live to see his most celebrated work inexplicably altered—not only does "Evers to Tinker to Chance" not possess the geometric simplicity and aesthetic superiority of Adams' original refrain, but tinkering with classic literature is a no-no of the first magnitude. After all, mighty Casey didn't pop up…
Mel Ott (#36): Okay, this one is very nitpicky—but it's precisely an editor's task to split hairs. Mel's bio states that he "acted as playing-manager from 1942 through 1948." Although it's accurate that Ott piloted the Giants from right field beginning in 1942, he last performed this dual role during the 1947 season, as he put in 4 pinch-hitting appearances; Mel was New York's manager solely from the dugout during the 1948 season (replaced after 75 games by Leo Durocher).
Walter Johnson (#12): Many totals of pre-war players have been modified by Major League Baseball over the years, so I have refrained from mentioning totals on older cards that do not jibe with present-day totals. However, Walter Johnson's shutout record of 110 has long been celebrated and its quantity never really in doubt. Yet his 1963 Bazooka mentions that he threw 114. A shutout is not something readily miscalculated from old days to new. Even if Bazooka was including his post-season shutouts—which upped Walter's total only to 111—it was still significantly off the mark.
Christy Mathewson (#4): Bazooka boasts that Christy won 374 games and tossed 83 shutouts. Bazooka blundered on both counts. I'm not sure how you can miscount shutouts—a pitcher either pitches the entire game or he doesn't, and he either permits at least 1 run or he doesn't. Neither of these conditions is subject to revision at a later date like an RBI total being amended thanks to an overlooked sacrifice fly. So, I must assume that Bazooka was including his World Series work, because Christy hurled 79 shutouts in the regular season—and it's impossible to imagine that the text's author was off by 4 shutouts. More significantly, 374 victories is disconcerting statistically because Christy's official total when he retired was 372. It became a significant issue when Grover Cleveland Alexander surpassed it in August 1929, snatching the all-time National League lead from Christy. During the 1940s, an extra win was discovered that was added to Mathewson's total, lifting him into a permanent tie with Alexander (to Ol' Pete's chagrin). Both have famously remained atop the NL heap ever since, at 373. Bazooka cannot be counting postseason victories here, because Christy won 5 in the Fall Classic, including the 3 shutouts in 1905 that it mentions in his bio—so "374" is pure sloppiness. Would Bazooka include World Series totals for shutouts but not for victories in the same sentence? It's baffling. Bazooka Joe was not cut out for this job…
1928 W502 Strip Card Paul Waner (#45): I've never seen anyone mention this error—but I cannot be the first to realize that the player depicted is irrefutably not "Big Poison"; it's teammate Clyde Barnhart. This same photo was used for multiple 1928 F50 issues, including Tharp's Ice Cream, Yuengling's Ice Cream, Harrington's Ice Cream, and Sweetman—making the seeming dearth of awareness of this incorrect photo all the more curious.
1948 Bowman Bobby Thomson (#47): Well before Bobby became a byword for the home run, Bowman was confounding home run totals of Thomson's former minor league team, the Jersey City Giants. Bobby's bio declares that his 26 round-trippers in 1946 eclipsed the previous team record of 18, set in 1938. Although Thomson's mark did, in fact, set a new team record, the mark he broke had not been 18—belted by former major league star Babe Herman that season—but by Herman's teammate, Tom Winsett, who clubbed 20. (Additionally, Al Glossop poked 19 the following season, making Bowman's account of the fallen record even "more" false.) Bobby's 1949 Bowman card (#18) reiterates the same mistake, making it something of a twice-told tale.
1977 TCMA–Renata Galasso Carl Furillo (#11): As any Ebbets field denizen could tell you, the Reading Rifle was a right-handed shot. Carl must have been deliberately trying to fool the photographer, because it's clearly not a case of the negative being reversed as Carl does his best Koufax.
That's enough for Part 1. Part 2 will largely target several especially sloppy sets and subsets.

I have a similar story. Slightly off the mark from yours. I have come to the conclusion that I have more baseball collectibles and cards than I have years left. So, I have been selling my old cards on eBay under my member id of "micromos" since my kids don't have an interest in them.
As I am listing my cards, I found some interesting things about them and the players. I got a chuckle out of some of them so I thought I would share these insights in case anyone was interested. These are in no particular order. These are listed as:
1957 #120 Bob Lemon – Cleveland – Pitcher Bob's card states in 1941 & 1942 he played 3rd base and pinch hit. There are no stats for those years on the back of his card!
1959 #133 Bob Lillis – Dodgers – shortstop – rookie card – batted .391 but only in 20 games – nice start
1961 #149 Bob Oldis – Pittsburg – unhappy face
1968 #571 Tony Larussa – A's – looks like he could have been part vulcan!
1959 #329 George Bamberger – Orioles – picked up from the Giants for 1959 – sent to Vancouver before being used only for 6 innings in 2 years for the Giants. Poor George but eventually became a manager years later.
1965 #207 Pete Rose – cartoon shows him stuffing 63 Rookie of the year trophy into a Volkswagen?
1956 #165 Red Schoendienst – great photo showing Red sliding into home safely as the ball rolls away!
1967 #88 Mickey Lolich – card says he had more than 200 strikeouts in the last 3 years – actually he had 192 – 220 – 173.
1967 #112 Wickersham – 6 years in the minors – before making the majors at age 26 – long road!
1966 #378 Willie Horton – Tiger team card states Horton had 262 RBI's in 1965. WOW – he only had 100!
1967 #192 Fred Gladding – First 6 years he was 20 – 7 with 2.92 era. Finished with 48-34 with 3.13 (13 years) with Detroit he was 26-11 overall!
1969 #45 Maury Wills – photo – got face bombed
1959 #527 Solly Hemus – Only official manager card issued that year
1977 # 89 Butch Hobson – Clell was his unusual first name.
1965 #26 Knoop – A little gas?
1955 #109 Lopat – record was 12–4 /3.55 at age 37 – 26 games, 170 innings = 6.54 each – great pitcher!
1958 cards – best looking card backs
Donn Ross
Jeff Katz says:
Though I worked on the 1963 Bazooka ATG sets a couple of years ago, I never noticed all those errors!
Yes, they did not do their homework. There may be more. I revised the article to include Christy Mathewson's card, which I was saving for Part 2 but then figured it would be better included with the others. THanks for your comment.
One aspect of this that I've recently developed a lot of experience in is the ages and birthdates on card backs, particularly for 1930s players. I'd estimate about 20% of players had different (recognized) birthdays back then, with the birth year often being 1-3 years later than what we recognize today. The discrepancies didn't so much originate with the baseball cards as they did propagate onto baseball cards. In that sense, I don't tend to regard the cards as error cards. Rather I grant license that the resources of the era weren't as authoritative as they are today.
As luck would have it, my next two articles for this blog are on exactly this topic.
I was going to make a similar comment – an error in any reference book would likely carry on for a long time. I don't think of those as the same type of "error" as the one Donruss kept making with Andy Nezelek. Uncorrected birthdate in 1989 Donruss (birthyear listed as 1985) and in 1990 Donruss made the same error. They finally corrected it in 1990 Donruss factory sets.
Still, sometimes even in recent years it's not the card company's fault. Through 2004, Topps had Adrian Beltre's birthyear as 1978; in 2005 they had it as 1979. Baseball-reference lists it as 1979, so it seems like Topps made an error for many years (beginning in 1997 with his Bowman card). But then you remember that the Dodgers actually made Beltre older so they could sign him and you realize Topps was just following the official record. Of course, the information about Beltre's true age seemed to come out in 1999, which makes one wonder why Topps waited so long to correct his birthyear. Fleer and Upper Deck had corrected the birthyear by 2001 (I didn't look through all their products in 2000, so there may be some that have the updated birthyear), Pacific seemed to not list birthdates on the card back, and Playoff, which started producing MLB cards in 2001, was using 1979.
Andrew C. Sharp says:
I would think that players in the more distant past would see it as an advantage to provide birth dates a year or two later than their actual birth year. I've run into that on a couple of my SABR bios. For example, the Yankees Duke Maas played two years younger than he actually was. I don't have any Maas cards, but the '57 Baseball Register lists him as born in 1931, even though it was 1929.
Yes, good example. All his cards use 1931. https://www.tcdb.com/GalleryP.cfm/pid/3567/Duke-Maas?ColType=0&sYear=0&sTeam=&sCardNum=&sNote=&sSetName=&sBrand=

In regard to the 1977 TCMA Carl Furillo card, take a close look at his left hand. He has a sizable cast on his pinkie! My guess is that he wore a left-hander's fielding glove for the photo because he couldn't get his hand in his own glove.
The photo likely comes from late in the 1953 season. According to the New York Times [Sept. 7, 1953, pages 1 and 22] and SABR's BioProject, Furillo injured his hand on September 6. He was hit by a pitch on the right wrist in the second inning and took first base. During the ensuing at-bat, Furillo charged toward the Giants dugout and was meet by Leo Durocher. After both men threw punches, Furillo placed his former manager in a headlock. Both benches emptied. Jim Hearn and Monte Irvin pulled the two combatants apart, but, in the process, someone stepped on Furillo's left hand, breaking a metacarpal bone. Neither of my sources specifies which metacarpal he broke, just that it was in his left hand. I think we can safely assume it was the metacarpal in his left pinkie. The Reading Rifle was out of the lineup for the rest of the regular season. He did return to the lineup during the World Series, posting a .333 average in yet another lose to the Yankees.
In an interesting side note, during that September 6 game, Roy Campenella reached two single season offensive milestones for catchers. He broke the HR record with his 38th of the season and tied the RBI record by driving in two to reach 133 for the year.
Nice spotting. I never saw that beyond a trick of the light. Considering how renowned was Furillo for his throwing arm, it was an odd choice of photo by TCMA/Renata Galasso, someone of whom should have noticed that Furillo was posing as a southpaw (unless, in the seemingly unlikely event, the choice was deliberate on their part).
