Smith v. Black, 115 U.S. 308 (1885)
Smith v. Black
Argued October 26-27, 1885
Decided November 9, 1885
Under a deed of trust covering land in the District of Columbia made by a debtor to two grantees, their heirs and assigns, to secure the payment of a promissory note, by which deed the grantees were empowered, on default, to sell the land at public auction "on such terms and conditions, and at such time and place, and after such previous public advertisement," as they, "their assigns or heirs" should deem advantageous and proper, and to convey the same in fee simple to the purchaser, a sale was had by public auction, under a notice of sale, signed by both of the trustees, and duly published in a newspaper, but at the sale only one of the trustees was present. The proceedings at the sale were fair, both of the trustees united in a deed to the purchaser, and no ground appeared for setting the sale aside. Held that the absence from the sale of one of the trustees was not a sufficient reason, of itself, for setting aside the sale as against the former owner of the land.
The creditor in this case was the purchaser at the sale, and it was held that there was nothing shown which disqualified him from becoming such purchaser.
Alleged inadequacy of price considered, and the sale upheld as against that allegation.
The purchaser, at the time he took the deed from the trustees, settled with one of the trustees on the basis of a purchase for cash, although the terms of sale provided for a credit, and, as holder of the note secured, credited on it the amount of the net proceeds of sale, leaving a sum still due on the note. Held that no right of the former owner of the land was violated by this course.
On the 23d of May, 1872, John Stearns, being the owner of certain land in the City of Washington, in the District of Columbia, on Twentieth Street, New Hampshire Avenue and P Street Circle, or Dupont Circle, containing in all 19,886 square feet, executed with his wife a deed of trust covering the land as security for the payment of a promissory note for $5,500, made by Stearns, dated May 23, 1872, payable in five years, with interest at the rate of six percent per annum, payable semiannually to the order of Walter Linkins, the note being given to secure a part of the purchase money of the land. The grantees in the deed were John F. Fuller and James M. Latta, chanrobles.com-red
their heirs and assigns. One of the trusts in the deed was expressed thus:
"Upon default's being made in the payment of the said note or interest as stipulated, or any proper cost, charge, commission, half-commission, or expense, in and about the same, then and at any time thereafter, to sell the said piece or parcel of ground and premises at public auction upon such terms and conditions, and at such time and place, and after such previous public advertisement"
as the said Fuller and Latta,
"their assigns or heirs, in the execution of this trust shall deem advantageous and proper, and to convey the same in fee simple to, and at the cost of, the purchaser or purchasers thereof, who shall not be required to see to the application of the purchase money, and the proceeds of said sale or sales first to pay all proper costs, charges, and expenses and to retain as compensation a commission of five percent on the amount of the said sale or sales; secondly, to pay whatever may then remain unpaid of the said note and the interest thereon, whether the same shall be due or not; and lastly to pay the remainder, if any, to the said John Stearns, his heirs or assigns."
On the 19th of April, 1873, Mrs. Mary A. Derby purchased the premises from Stearns at the price of $1 per square foot, making $19,886. She paid $6,000 in cash, gave her notes for $8,386, and assumed the payment of the $5,500 note, with interest from November 23, 1872. Stearns conveyed the land to her.
On the 14th of April, 1875, Linkins sold the $5,500 note to the defendant, Walter H. Smith. It fell due May 26, 1877, and was not paid. There was some negotiation between Mrs. Derby and Smith in the summer of 1877 in regard to providing for its payment. Mrs. Derby, being in ill health, on October 27, 1877, conveyed the land in question (with other land) to her daughter Mrs. Black, the plaintiff in this suit, her heirs and assigns, in trust to lease, sell, and convey it, and, after paying expenses and commissions, to pay the proceeds to the grantor, her heirs, executors, or administrators. There was further negotiation between Smith and Mrs. Black, but, the note being past due, with interest from May 23, 1877, the following chanrobles.com-red
notice was published in the Evening Star, a newspaper in the City of Washington, the description of the land in the notice being the same as in the deed of trust to Fuller and Latta:
"B. H. Warner, Real Estate Auctioneer"
"Trustees' Sale of Valuable Property Bordering on the P-Street"
"Circle, New Hampshire Avenue, and 20th Street"
"By virtue of a deed of trust, dated May 23, A.D. 1872, and duly recorded in liber No. 682, folio 405, one of the land records of the District of Columbia, and at the request of the party secured thereby, we will sell at public auction, in front of the premises, to the highest bidder, on Wednesday, January 30, A.D. 1878 at 4 o'clock P.M., the following real estate in the City of Washington, in said district, to-wit: [Here follows the description.] Terms of sale: three thousand dollars in cash, the balance in equal installments in six and twelve months respectively, with interest at eight percent until paid, secured by a deed of trust on the property. Conveyancing at the cost of purchaser. If the terms of the sale are not complied with in five days after the sale, we reserve the right to resell at the risk and cost of the defaulting purchaser."
"J. F. CALDWELL, Salesman"
The sale took place by public auction in front of the premises at the time named in the notice, and they were sold to the defendant Smith, he being the highest bidder, for $7,000. On the 13th of February, 1878, Latta and Fuller, the trustees, executed a deed conveying the land to Smith, his heirs and assigns. The deed contained this recital:
"And whereas the period fixed for the payment of said note has expired without the same being liquidated, and the said party of the first part at the written request of the legal holder of the said note, being the party secured by said trust, did, on the seventeenth day of January, A.D. 1878, according to the provisions of said trust, advertise the hereinafter described premises for 12 days in the
Evening Star, a newspaper printed and published in the City of Washington, District of Columbia, to be sold on the thirtieth day of January, A.D. 1878, at the hour of four o'clock P.M., on the premises at which public sale the said Walter H. Smith being the highest bidder, the same was sold to him for the sum of seven thousand dollars, the terms of which sale being three thousand dollars in cash and the balance in two payments, in six and twelve months, with interest at eight percent, and whereas the said Walter H. Smith having complied with the terms of said sale, the said party of the first part executes these presents."
On the 25th of March, 1880, the bill in this suit was filed by Mrs. Black in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. The defendants are Smith, Fuller, and Latta, and the trustees in two deeds of trust, each to secure $3,000, which Smith has executed, covering the premises, since they were conveyed to him; but it is stated in the bill that the plaintiff does not seek to disturb the rights acquired by those trustees. The bill alleged that in March, 1880, Smith dedicated to public use a part of the land fronting on P Street Circle, and sold to one Page for $14,200 another part of it, receiving $8,200 in cash, and an agreement to pay the $6,000 secured by the two deeds of trust above named, and that the plaintiff does not seek to disturb the rights acquired by Page.
The bill prayed for a decree that as to so much of the land as Smith did not convey to Page (excepting what was dedicated to public use), the sale by Fuller and Latta be set aside, and their deed to Smith be cancelled; that an account be taken of the proceeds of the sale by Fuller and Latta, and of the amount due on the $5,500 note at the time of the sale, and of all taxes on the property chargeable to the plaintiff; that the proceeds of the property, whether from the sale to Page or from rents collected by Smith, be accounted for by him, and be brought into court to constitute a trust fund for the benefit of the plaintiff; that the amount properly payable on the $5,500 note, and all costs and charges properly to be added thereto, be ascertained; that the same be paid in liquidation of the note and charges, and the plaintiff and the land be released from chanrobles.com-red
liability therefor, and that the balance of the fund be paid to her. There is also a prayer for general relief.
The bill alleges that Fuller knew nothing about the advertisement, or that the property was to be sold, or had been sold, until the day on which he executed the deed to Smith; that Latta acted on his own sole responsibility in fixing on the place and time and terms and conditions of the sale, and was the only trustee present at it; that Fuller signed the deed to Smith at the request of the latter, who brought it to him when he was ill in bed, and told him that it was satisfactory to Linkins; that Linkins did not authorize Smith to represent that Linkins was satisfied with the sale; that the sale took place at 4 o'clock in the afternoon of an inclement day, few persons being present; that one person asked if a lot could be sold with a privilege, and was told it could not, although he was ready to make a bid therefor; that there was no competition; that the price of thirty-five cents a foot at which it was knocked down to Smith, was wholly inadequate; that, in view of the absence of his co-trustee, the absence of bidders, and the low price offered by Smith, it was the duty of Latta to adjourn the sale, and that the property, even at a forced sale, would have brought, with the least competition, fifty cents a foot.
The bill further alleges that B. H. Warner was entrusted with looking after the property; that Smith knew this fact; that the plaintiff learned from a letter sent by Warner, dated January 24, 1878, that the sale was advertised for January 30, 1878; that she then sent a relative to Washington to see what could be done, and he sent back word that he could accomplish nothing, and that the holder of the note had purchased the property at the sale for $7,000; that she, being at a distance and unacquainted with business, relied on the fact that if any irregularity had existed in the sale, notice of it would have been communicated by Warner, as the advertisement showed that the sale was to be conducted by an auctioneer from Warner's establishment; that she supposed that she no longer had any rights in the premises; that she had never received any account or communication from the trustees; that she had only within a few days past accidentally learned that there were chanrobles.com-red
suspicious transactions at the sale and that it was irregularly conducted, and that as soon as she heard it, she took steps to discover the facts.
Smith answered the bill, as did Fuller and Latta. Proofs were taken, and on a hearing the court at special term on the 19th of February, 1881, made a decree setting aside the sale except as to the land sold to Page and that dedicated to public use, and referring the case to an auditor to state an account between the parties as prayed in the bill. The auditor reported March 24, 1881, that there was due from Smith to the plaintiff $5,860.30. Both parties excepted to the report as to items in the account, but the court at special term overruled the exceptions and confirmed the report as made, and rendered a decree on April 12, 1881, finding that there was due on that day from Smith to the plaintiff $5,860.30 and ordering that within twenty days he pay her that sum, with interest from that day, and that Fuller and Latta, within thirty days, execute to her a deed of release for that part of the premises as to which the sale was set aside. The decree imposed the costs of the suit on the plaintiff. Smith appealed from the decree to the general term, and the plaintiff appealed to it from so much of the decree as omitted to allow her interest from the date of filing the bill and from so much as overruled her exceptions to the auditor's report and as charged her with costs. Both appeals were heard by the court in general term, and on the 20th of March, 1882, it rendered a decree affirming both of the decrees of the special term, with the modification that Smith join with Fuller and Latta in the conveyance to the plaintiff, and he was ordered to pay the costs of the appeals. From that decree Smith has appealed to this Court. chanrobles.com-red
MR. JUSTICE BLATCHFORD delivered the opinion of the Court. After stating the facts in the language above reported, he continued:
The decision of the special term on the merits, made by Mr. Justice Cox (MacArthur & Mackey 338), went on the ground that Latta alone attended and conducted the sale, and Fuller was absent and took no part in it, and that Fuller did not ratify the sale by signing the deed because he signed it without any consultation with Latta and without any information as to the state of affairs at the sale or any other information than that furnished by the recitals in the deed, which was presented to him by Smith and executed at his request. The judge added:
"I think it proper further to remark that I have seen nothing in the evidence involving any imputation or reproach against the fairness and honesty of the purchaser."
It is stated that the affirmance by the general term was by a majority of the three justices, and proceeded on the same view as that held by the special term. chanrobles.com-red
It is urged as one ground for setting aside the sale to Smith that he had so conducted himself in regard to the trust property as to have become incapable of purchasing and holding it as against the plaintiff, and that, being the creditor, he acted with Latta in fixing the terms of sale contained in the notice to the same extent he would have done if he had been his co-trustee, and wrote the body of the notice and selected the auctioneer, and was the organ of communication between Latta and Fuller in regard to the sale. We do not see anything in what Smith did in regard to preparations for the sale which disqualified him from becoming the purchaser. He was not agent or trustee for the plaintiff, nor was he attorney for the trustees or for Latta. He was an attorney and counselor at law, and in purchasing the note had acted for his sister-in-law, and bought it with her money as an investment for her, though taking the title to himself and acting as her agent and trustee in regard to the matter. Latta was selected as trustee by Stearns, and Fuller by Linkins. Fuller was unacquainted with the duties of a trustee, and Latta did not know him or where he was to be found. Smith insisting on a sale, the notice was prepared in accordance with terms agreed to by Latta, and was signed by him, and Smith undertook to find Fuller, and found him and obtained his signature to the notice. B. H. Warner, the auctioneer named in the notice, was the same person named in the bill, and had been employed by Mrs. Derby and the plaintiff to endeavor to sell the property or to raise money on it to pay the note held by Smith. We are unable to find any cause in these transactions or in anything else developed in the case which under the most rigid rule disqualified Smith from becoming a purchaser of the property. This Court held in Richards v. Holmes, 18 How. 143, that under a deed of trust like the present, the creditor for the satisfaction of whose debt the sale is made has a right to compete fairly at the sale and may become the purchaser. No fraud in fact is alleged in the bill or shown in the evidence, no effort to keep bidders away from the sale or to have a surreptitious sale, no want of the usual notice of sale, nor any conduct on the part of Smith inconsistent with what was due from him as a creditor to Mrs. Derby chanrobles.com-red
and the plaintiff. He waited nearly eight months after the principal of the note and the installment of interest payable at the date of its maturity became due before he took measures for a sale. He allowed Mrs. Derby and the plaintiff to make every effort to sell the land at private sale or to raise the money at a higher rate of interest than six percent to pay off the note. In July, 1877, Mrs. Derby wrote to him that she had tried in vain to get the money at a lower rate than ten percent, and asked him to have the debt extended at that rate at least until the fall, when she would sell the property if it brought no more than enough to pay the debt. In December, 1877, the plaintiff wrote to him that she had people working for her all the time trying to sell the ground, but she had failed so far to receive any offer which she thought more to her advantage than a sale under a foreclosure, and that she would sell the land to him at fifty cents per square foot, he paying enough in cash to repay his sister-in-law and the taxes on the property, and giving her his note for the rest at eight percent interest secured on the property. But the general taxes on the property were unpaid, and it had been sold for their nonpayment, and there were special taxes against it, and Mr. Smith declined to purchase at the price asked. Prior to that and in August, 1877, as his sister-in-law was pressing for some money, and in order to allow the plaintiff time to see if she could arrange the debt, he signed a note for $1,000 at sixty days, which Mr. Warner endorsed, and it was discounted and the money sent to the sister-in-law. This note was renewed for sixty days more, but the plaintiff having accomplished nothing, proceedings for a sale were taken.
The question as to whether the signature "John F. Fuller" to the notice of sale, the original of which was produced in evidence, was genuine and made by Fuller received some prominence in the proofs. Fuller's real name was "John E. Fuller," but he was called "John F. Fuller" in the deed of trust, and there is no dispute that he signed his name "John F. Fuller" to the deed to Smith, and to a paper he executed at the same time assigning to Smith his interest in the trustees' commissions. His testimony as to his not signing the notice chanrobles.com-red
of sale amounts only to this: that he does not recollect signing it, and does not recollect the conversations and interviews with Smith to which Smith testifies. His denial of the signature appears to be based on fact that his name is John E. Fuller, and his ultimate answer is that he will not swear he did not sign the notice. Smith testifies positively that he saw him sign it, and gives details and circumstances. The evidence satisfies us that the notice was signed by Fuller. It also appears that the deed to Smith was fully read to and understood by Fuller before he signed it. The recitals in the deed, which were true, gave Fuller all the information it was necessary he should have as a basis for his signature to it.
We come now to consider the alleged inadequate price obtained at the sale. In May, 1872, Stearns sold the land to Linkins at forty-five cents per square foot. In April, 1873, Mrs. Derby purchased at $1 per square foot. At the time Mrs. Derby purchased, and during the summer of 1873, speculation in real estate in the neighborhood of this land was rife, and prices were high, but in the fall of 1873 came a revulsion, and a depression of prices, which continued until after the sale in this case. In March, 1880, Smith sold a little over 15,000 feet of the land to Page for $14,200, or about ninety-two cents per square foot. The price which Smith paid was a little over thirty-five cents per square foot. But in view of the efforts which had been made by the plaintiff to sell the property or to raise money on it, and of all the facts of the case, it cannot be said that the property sold for less than it could have been reasonably expected to bring at public auction at the time. Smith made the first bid at $4,500. The bidding reached $6,000 by $500 bids, and then either $6,500 or $6,900 by $100 bids, every alternate bid being Smith's. The $6,500 bid or the $6,900 bid was made by Mr. John W. Thompson. Then Smith bid $7,000. Latta, who was present, endeavored to induce Mr. Thompson to bid more, but he would not. Shailer, the person who visited Washington by the plaintiff's desire, was present at the sale. It was held at the usual hour of the day for such sales. The evidence shows that Smith immediately offered the property at his bid to several persons, including Mr. Thompson, but no chanrobles.com-red
one would take it. We see no ground for setting aside the sale because of inadequacy of price. The bill in the case was filed a few days after Smith had sold to Page. The period of depression had passed. The price had gone up again to nearly what Mrs. Derby had paid. But the fact of depression in value is no ground, in itself, for not upholding a sale under the trust deed, nor is a subsequent rise in value a ground for setting aside the sale. Those who speculate in real estate on credit take the risk of depression in value at the time the credit expires, and those who buy for cash in time of depression are entitled to the benefit of a subsequent rise in value.
The principal question discussed at the bar was the validity of the sale in the absence of Fuller. Latta, the other trustee, was present. No objection at the time of the sale to the absence of Fuller was made on behalf of the plaintiff, although she actually knew of the time and place of sale, and in consequence sent Shailer to Washington, and he attended the sale. The question of the necessity of the presence of a sole trustee at a sale under a deed of trust like the present was before the Circuit Court of the United States for the District of Columbia in 1838, in Connolly v. Belt, 5 Cranch C.C. 405, on a bill filed by the grantor in the deed of trust to set aside a sale under it. It was contended that the sale was void because the sole trustee was not present, though he was represented at it by an agent. The objection was not made at the sale, but was raised by a bill filed by Belt, the debtor, against the creditor, and Semmes, the trustee, and the purchaser. The court was held by Chief Judge Cranch and Assistant Judge Morsell. The case of Heyer v. Deaves, 2 Johns.Ch. 154, was cited to it as holding that, under a statute of New York which required all sales of mortgaged premises under a decree to be made by a master, a sale was invalid which was made by a competent agent of the master in his absence. Chief Judge Cranch says, in delivering the opinion of the court:
"Neither that statute nor that case is applicable to the present case, which is a sale under a common deed of trust. The time, place, terms, and conditions were such as were deemed by the trustee most for the interest of all the parties concerned in the said sale, as appears
by the answer of the trustee, and a sale made by an agent of the trustee according to the terms and conditions, and at the time and place prescribed, is a sale by the trustee, there being no law requiring him to be personally present at the auction. No objection having been made by Mr. Belt or his friends on account of the absence of Mr. Semmes, the trustee, who was represented by Mr. C. Cox as his agent at the sale, and their suffering the sale to go on, is, I think, a waiver of the objection if it would have been otherwise valid. But the objection in itself is of no avail."
We are not advised of any decision since that one in the District of Columbia holding to the contrary until the one now before us. It was made nearly fifty years ago, and has probably been followed in some cases as a rule of property, which it is, and the fact that in view of it no statute has been passed by Congress requiring the personal presence of a sole trustee, or of both trustees at a sale under a deed of trust, is persuasive to show that the absence of a sole trustee, or of one of two trustees, ought not to be held of itself to vitiate a sale. Where there is a statute requiring a thing to be done by a known and responsible public officer, it may well be held that he must do it in person. But in a sale under a deed of trust like the present, where private persons appoint other private persons, their heirs and assigns, to make the sale, then if the notice of sale is given, and the deed is executed by the sole trustee or the two trustees, and the sale is fairly conducted, and no ground otherwise appears for setting it aside, the mere fact that the sale is not attended by the sole trustee, or that it is made in the absence of one or even both of two trustees, is not alone a sufficient ground for holding the sale invalid. The absent trustee or trustees may, after the sale is advertised, become ill, or be called to a distance not to return for some time. The creditor has rights as well as the debtor, and where, in the case of two trustees, the sale is conducted as in this case, in pursuance of a notice signed by both of them, conforming to the deed of trust, and previously publicly advertised, and one of them is present, and the sale is fairly and properly made, and the proceedings under the deed of trust are otherwise regular, and both of the trustees afterwards chanrobles.com-red
execute such a deed as was executed in this case, there is no ground of public policy or private right which requires it to be held that the absence of the second trustee vitiates the sale.
After the sale, and on the day on which the deed was executed to Smith, he made a settlement with Latta for the purchase. He elected to consider it as one wholly for cash. This he had a right to do notwithstanding the terms of sale. No duty of the trustees or of Smith to the plaintiff was violated by this course. The amount of the note and interest was $5,739.25. The expenses of sale, commissions, taxes, and interest on them were put down at $2,086.78. Deducting this from the $7,000 left $4,913.22 to be credited on the $5,739.25, and that amount was credited on the note on that day, leaving a deficiency of $826.03. Even if something less ought to have been charged against the $7,000, leaving the deficiency less than $826.03, it does not appear that there was not a deficiency.
The decree of the court in general term made March 20, 1882, is reversed, and the cause is remanded to that court with directions to reverse, with costs, the decree of the court in a special term made April 12, 1881, and to dismiss the bill of complaint, with costs.
MR. JUSTICE FIELD, dissenting.
I am unable to assent to the judgment of this Court, as I do not agree to the conclusion reached on the question of fact as to the previous concurrence of Fuller, one of the trustees of the property in the notice of sale. He testifies that he never authorized the sale; never heard of it; nor did Smith ever speak to him on the subject until two weeks after it had taken place, when Smith came to his house and got him, then sick in bed, to sign the deed. He also testifies that the signature "John F. Fuller" appended to the notice of sale is not in his handwriting.
Under these circumstances, I cannot but conclude that Mr. Smith is mistaken in his recollection, and that he has confounded Fuller's subsequent assent to the execution of the deed with a supposed previous assent to the notice of sale. chanrobles.com-red
Fuller's ratification of the proceedings by joining in the deed does not remove, in my judgment, this objection, as it is evident that it was executed in ignorance of all the circumstances under which the sale took place. I agree with the court below that "if a trustee can ratify the acts of his co-trustee, it can only be upon consultation with him, and upon full information as to all the facts," and it is clear that this information was wanting in the present case.

example does not include the IP address, so httpd must use DNS
to find the address of www.example.dom
. If for some
reason DNS is not available at the time your server is parsing
its config file, then this virtual host will not be
configured. It won't be able to respond to any hits
to this virtual host.
Suppose that www.example.dom
has address 192.0.2.1.
Then consider this configuration snippet:
# This is a misconfiguration example, do not use on your server <VirtualHost 192.0.2.1> ServerAdmin firstname.lastname@example.com DocumentRoot "/www/example" </VirtualHost>
This time httpd needs to use reverse DNS to find the
for this virtualhost. If that reverse
lookup fails then it will partially disable the virtualhost.
If the virtual host is name-based then it will effectively be
totally disabled, but if it is IP-based then it will mostly
work. However, if httpd should ever have to generate a full
URL for the server which includes the server name (such as when a
Redirect is issued), then it will fail to generate a valid URL.
Here is a snippet that avoids both of these problems:
<VirtualHost 192.0.2.1> ServerName www.example.dom ServerAdmin firstname.lastname@example.com DocumentRoot "/www/example" </VirtualHost>
Consider this configuration snippet:
<VirtualHost www.example1.dom> ServerAdmin email@example.com DocumentRoot "/www/example1" </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost www.example2.dom> ServerAdmin email@example.com DocumentRoot "/www/example2" </VirtualHost>
Suppose that you've assigned 192.0.2.1 to
and 192.0.2.2 to
. Furthermore, suppose that
has control of their own DNS. With this
config you have put example1.dom
into a position where
they can steal all traffic destined to example2.dom
. To
do so, all they have to do is set www.example1.dom
192.0.2.2. Since they control their own DNS you can't stop them
from pointing the www.example1.dom
record wherever they
Requests coming in to 192.0.2.2 (including all those where
users typed in URLs of the form
) will all be served by
the example1.dom
virtual host. To better understand why
this happens requires a more in-depth discussion of how httpd
matches up incoming requests with the virtual host that will
serve it. A rough document describing this is available.
virtual host support requires httpd to know
the IP address(es) of the host that httpd
is running on. To get this address it uses either the global
(if present) or calls the C function gethostname
(which should return the same as typing "hostname" at the
command prompt). Then it performs a DNS lookup on this address.
At present there is no way to avoid this lookup.
If you fear that this lookup might fail because your DNS
server is down then you can insert the hostname in
(where you probably already have it so
that the machine can boot properly). Then ensure that your
machine is configured to use /etc/hosts
in the
event that DNS fails. Depending on what OS you are using this
might be accomplished by editing /etc/resolv.conf
or maybe /etc/nsswitch.conf
If your server doesn't have to perform DNS for any other
reason then you might be able to get away with running httpd
with the HOSTRESORDER
environment variable set to
"local". This all depends on what OS and resolver libraries you
are using. It also affects CGIs unless you use
to control the environment. It's best
to consult the man pages or FAQs for your OS.

One you reach the age of 30, you have a 10% to 20% chance of graying hair with each passing decade.1 It's a fact of life that, eventually, virtually everyone will go gray.
Your hair color comes from pigment called melanin. Each hair may contain dark melanin (eumelanin) and light melanin (pheomelanin), which blend together to form the many shades of hair color among humans.
When you're young, special pigment stem cells called melanocytes inject pigment into keratin-containing cells.
This keratin, a protein, makes up your hair and is responsible for giving it its color. As you age, melanin is reduced, which is why your hair turns gray and, ultimately, white (this means there's no melanin left).2
What exactly causes melanin to be reduced and hair to turn gray has remained a mystery until now. An international team of researchers has discovered the first gene linked to gray hair.
The study involved a genome-wide association scan in more than 6,000 Latin Americans to look for genes related to features of scalp hair and facial hair, including graying, balding, beard thickness, monobrow, eyebrow thickness and more).3
A gene that has previously been linked to blonde hair in Europeans turned out to be connected to gray hair as well and accounted for about 30% of hair graying among the study participants.
The other 70% is likely due to factors such as age, environment, stress and more. The researchers plan to look for ways to manipulate this genetic pathway to prevent hair from turning gray (including drugs, which I would not recommend taking for the purpose of changing your hair color). Kaustubh Adhikari, Ph.D., a postdoctoral researcher at University College London, told TIME:4
"We might have drugs that boost or stop the protein from acting and change the amount of melanin in hair follicles and change the hair internally ... So once the hair comes out like the way you want, you don't have [to] go out and buy dyes."
According to Desmond Tobin, Ph.D., professor of Cell Biology from the University of Bradford in England, your hair follicles may be regulated by a "melanogentic clock" that eventually slows down the activity of melanocyte cells. Further, according to the Library of Congress:5
"... Tobin suggests that hair turns gray because of age and genetics, in that genes regulate the exhaustion of the pigmentary potential of each individual hair follicle. This occurs at different rates in different hair follicles. For some people it occurs rapidly, while in others it occurs slowly over several decades."
It's known, for instance, that white people may start going gray in their mid-30s, while Asians typically go gray beginning in their late 30s. African Americans typically don't go gray until their mid-40s.6
Other factors for why hair turns gray include:
• Hydrogen peroxide — Hydrogen peroxide is a well-known tool for bleaching your hair, but many people aren't aware that your hair cells make hydrogen peroxide, too. As you age, the amount produced increases, which researchers believe ultimately bleaches out your hair pigment, turning your hair grey and then white.7
• Smoking — There is a significant association between tobacco use and graying of hair.8 Cigarette smoking is also linked to premature hair graying, with the onset of gray hair occurring before the age of 30.9
• Oxidative stress — Oxidative stress can be defined as the state in which your free radicals (from pollution, poor diet, stress) outnumber your antioxidant defenses (from healthy diet). Graying hair may be an indicator of oxidative stress-induced damage.10 Research has also shown that people with premature graying had a higher level of pro-oxidants and lower levels of antioxidants than those with normal hair.11
• Vitamin B12 deficiency — This is also linked to premature gray hair, and there is at least one report of pigmentation returning to hair after the vitamin deficiency was resolved.12
It's thought that going prematurely gray is largely genetic; if you have family members who turned gray early on, there's a chance you might too.
Obesity is also associated with premature graying,13 and there is some speculation that it could be an indicator of certain health issues. For instance, premature graying of hair may be an important risk marker for the bone condition osteopenia.
According to research published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, people with premature graying but no other identifiable risk factor were 4.4 times as likely to have osteopenia as those without premature graying.14 The researchers suggested:
"The association between premature graying and low bone mass could be related to genes that control peak bone mass or factors that regulate bone turnover."
Thyroid disorders, anemia and vitiligo have also been linked to premature graying, and it's even been associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in young smokers. According to researchers:15
"Premature graying of hair can be used as preliminary evidence by clinicians for classifying patients at risk for premature CAD especially in smokers."
It's commonly believed that stress causes gray hairs (and many parents of teenagers or former presidents, whose hair often turns gray during office would likely attest to that). Science on this topic has frequently come up short, save a 2011 study published in the journal Nature and led by Nobel Prize winner Dr. Robert Lefkowitz.16
That study found chronic stress and frequent activation of the "fight or flight" stress response leads to DNA damage that may promote not only aging, cancer, neuropsychiatric conditions and miscarriages but also affect genes that control hair pigment.
Researchers believe they are getting closer to finding a cure for gray hair. Scientists at New York University's Langone Medical Center, for instance, isolated the Wnt protein, which coordinates pigmentation between melanocytes and another type of stem cell that guides the development of hair follicles.17
When the researchers inhibited the Wnt pathway in black mice, they turned gray. They believe that one day adding the Wnt protein to hair care products or supplements may "cure" gray hair.
Meanwhile, in a follow-up to the original study that linked gray hair to a buildup of hydrogen peroxide, researchers revealed that a UVB-activated compound called PC-KUS could reverse the hydrogen peroxide build up and effectively "cure" gray hair.18
The treatment also works to restore skin color in people with vitiligo. Dr. Gerald Weissmann, editor-in-chief of The FASEB Journal, which published the study, told Medical News Today:19
"For generations, numerous remedies have been concocted to hide gray hair. but now, for the first time, an actual treatment that gets to the root of the problem has been developed."
The search for a cure for gray hair assumes that gray hair is a problem that needs solving. But there's nothing intrinsically bad about having gray hair. In fact, from a health perspective you're far better off going gray than using toxic hair dyes.
And if you're thinking of embracing your silver locks, now's a perfect time. So-called "granny hair" is the latest trend, with people paying salons big bucks to go gray. If you're lucky enough to have earned your gray naturally, you can get this look for free. New York hair stylist Jan-Marie Arteca told Reuters:20
"Granny hair is basically silver hair, any tone of grey in your hair: steel grey, silvery grey, really, really white, platinum-ish with either violet or silver undertones ... That's the trend."

There are many spammers active on the Internet. These scammers try to scam people via the Internet by hijacking the browser and redirecting it to websites that eventually try to trick you. Lp.ddxfn.shop is one of these websites.
For example, the Lp.ddxfn.shop URL may show you a notification that your computer is infected with a virus. In addition, it is also possible that it is trying to trick you into installing adware on your computer. This could include browser extensions that supposedly add new functionality in the browser but contain malware that constantly displays unwanted ads in the browser.
It is advisable to close the Lp.ddxfn.shop ad as soon as possible, do not click on the ad, and check your computer for malware. Suppose your browser is constantly redirected to the Lp.ddxfn.shop domain. In that case, the adware may have already been installed on your computer. You should remove this adware as soon as possible.
Ads from Lp.ddxfn.shop are often displayed on websites where you can download free software. Lp.ddxfn.shop is thus a revenue model for online spammers. However, not only a revenue model, but Lp.ddxfn.shop can also act as a website through which further attacks are carried out against your computer. Lp.ddxfn.shop then offers malware that can infect your computer with ransomware or tries to attack the browser with dangerous scripts that can eventually take over your computer.
I recommend that you follow all the steps in this article to prevent your computer from being infected with malware. If malware is found, you can remove it immediately. For example, the ad Lp.ddxfn.shop you should immediately close in your browser.

Acuity Brands, a market leader in innovative energy-efficient lighting and control solutions, today announced it has acquired the assets of Adura Technologies, Inc. ("Adura"), a leading developer of wireless controls and energy management solutions. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Founded in 2005, San Francisco-based Adura has led the development of radio frequency (RF) mesh networking technology that allows individual light fixtures to communicate in a wireless mesh network with switches, sensors and system management software. The ZigBee® wireless standard-based technology enables energy-saving control solutions while eliminating the cost of using wires to network all of the devices in the system. Wireless controls technology improves the economics and feasibility of installing lighting controls in a wide variety of new construction and renovation projects.
"The addition of these Adura Technologies solutions continues the expansion of the breadth and depth of our wireless lighting controls portfolio, which includes nWifi™ technology, the ROAM® streetlight monitoring system and the FIDO™ emergency monitoring system, and it further enhances our strategy of integrated and intelligent lighting and controls solutions," said Vernon J. Nagel, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Acuity Brands. "Adura's simple to use wireless technology coupled with our broad luminaire portfolio, Sensor Switch® occupancy sensors and Lighting Control & Design™ (LC&D) system management software will allow for the creation of intelligent lighting systems that are simple to use while generating greater energy savings for our customers. We see wireless technology extending to almost all applications, including parking garages, industrial locations, retail settings, educational institutions, healthcare facilities and commercial office space."
Adura systems are currently installed in 7 million square feet of commercial space, including 4 million square feet of covered parking facilities, contributing to a documented lighting energy reduction in lighting system renovations as high as 80%. According to U.S. Department of Energy figures, there are estimated to be 36 million covered parking lighting fixtures in the United States. New state and local energy codes being adopted based on updated standards will require covered parking lighting to use occupancy-based, multi-level lighting controls. Conversion of the installed base for covered parking using a solution combining lighting fixtures and wireless controls equates to a potential market opportunity valued between $15 and $20 billion.

Hello, my name is Vladimir and I'm happy to welcome you on my website.
Photography has been my serious hobby for about last 10 years. I truly believe in two things about photography: there is a beauty in everything that surrounds us, and it is a photographer's job to unveil and capture this beauty.
Right now I live in Bay Area, California, and most of my photographs been taken around here. I love just to walk around, climb the hills and catch that precise nick of a time, that perfect light conditions and weather when simple rock, a grass on a hill or a little creek will show you all their beautiful nature. So, on most of my photographs you will not find exotic landscapes, skyrocket mountains, hundred feet tall waterfalls, wild animals - just regular forests, creeks, sky - something that almost everybody can see almost every time you wonder around. But this is exactly what I love about my hobby, exactly what makes it so special for me.
This site is my portfolio. I show here only my best works, and I hope you will enjoy it. Thank you for visiting. Let's start looking!

Is Ahrefs A Good Tool Compared To Moz – Semrush
Is Ahrefs A Good Tool Compared To Moz – Semrush: Website audit: Moz and Semrush's SEO audit tools are more user-friendly than Ahrefs, while Semrush provides more complete data and insights. Semrush wins this category because it combines Ahrefs' advanced functionality with Moz's simplicity.
Who are the best among Semrush, Moz, and Ahrefs in 2021?
refs vs Semrush, there are mixed opinions on which one is the best SEO tool. Some people prefer Moz for its simplicity, while others like the advanced features that Ahrefs and Semrush provide.
Keyword Difficulty
Short Tip: Always check the keyword density of a potential keyword before adding it to your list. The keyword difficulty metric measures the degree of difficulty associated with ranking in the top 10 for a certain term. The evaluation is done on a scale of 0 to 100 (with 100 representing the highest level of difficulty).
The first solution offered is Backlink Analytics, which enables you to analyse the backlink profile of any website. It provides metrics for both the quantity and quality of backlinks to your or your competitors' websites.
Youtube Keyword Tool
Excellent user interface and user experience: As with any programme, it may take some time to get used to Ahrefs. However, after you've become acclimated to Ahrefs, it's pretty easy to find what you're looking for. And it typically takes no more than one or two clicks to get there. For instance, suppose I wish to see a breakdown of a website's anchor text. I can jump right to this report from the sidebar:
You can discover all the keywords that are relevant to your primary keywords. Additionally, you receive detailed information about those phrases, such as their keyword difficulty (KD) and monthly traffic, so you know which keywords to target to rank higher in Google search results.
Which is the superior SEO tool: Semrush or Ahrefs?
Let me begin by stating that Content Explorer is akin to Semrush's Content Marketing Toolkit. On the other hand, Moz lacks content-specific capabilities, yet some of its characteristics apply to content optimization.
Is Ahrefs A Good Tool
One of our favourite features of Ahrefs is the keyword data, which includes around 7 billion keywords and 1 billion content pieces (along with the ability to track and analyse over 16 trillion backlinks across the web).
SEMrush's Keyword Magic Tool is available to its users. This programme provides access to a massive Google keyword database. With billions of keywords, the database is one of the most comprehensive on the market.
Which Seo Tool Is Better In 2021?
As demonstrated above, you can locate all relevant competitors and obtain their backlink data by clicking on their links. This enables you to analyze the backlink profiles of all crucial websites in your industry in more detail.
With all of content marketing's inherent complexity, it's critical to grasp how it works to manage a successful campaign. Because without a solid basis, you run the risk of succumbing to crippling content marketing
Finding the right web hosting firm for your business may be a lengthy process. It is a critical investment because it has the potential to make or damage your internet reputation.
Moz is another prominent all-in-one search engine optimization tool. It began as a blog and SEO community before expanding to include SEO tools. Moz has been on the market the longest of the three platforms covered in this article.
When SEMrush is compared to Ahrefs and Moz, it's evident that SEMrush is the clear winner. With an extensive list of killer features, the most accurate databases, and a plethora of accessible possibilities, this programme is a secure bet for practically anyone who wants to perform SEO.
This makes it significantly easier to make the best campaign judgments. You're aware of which phrases require a more significant portion of your budget, which ones provide the most value for money, and which ones are not worth your time. The platform constantly updates the data, ensuring that you have access to the information you require in near real-time.
You can use filters such as "Follow" to retrieve a list of all the do-follow links associated with any site on the Internet. In this manner, you can build links from these sources using various link building tactics such as guest posts, blogger outreach, and broken link building.
Ahrefs is a market-leading search engine optimization software suite with a comprehensive feature set that includes backlink analysis, keyword research, and technical SEO audits. When combined with superior data and an intuitive user interface, it's easy to see why Ahrefs has achieved a leadership position in the search engine optimization software sector.
Competitor's Analysis
The best feature of using Semrush is the ease with which you can do competitor analyses. You may discover their traffic, the best performing keywords, backlink profiles, and any other information necessary for a thorough analysis of every website on the planet.
When it comes to backlink analysis, both Semrush and Ahrefs excel. However, Semrush offers an exclusive tool for backlink analysis, whereas Ahrefs does not have an exclusive backlink research tool, as it is integrated into their Site Explorer.
If you're looking for a TIEFEN search for a specific keyword, the Ahrefs Keyword Explorer is the perfect tool for you. On a single page, you'll find nearly everything you need to make an informed decision about a particular keyword.
You can assess the value of your keywords. You can compare them to the most critical Indicators of website performance include traffic, search volume, anticipated cost per click, competition, and the number of search results.
Examine the Share of Voice (SoV) metric to determine your market share for a particular keyword. You can also obtain a report on cannibalization, which indicates whether your pages are in direct competition with one another for a particular keyword.
Additionally, you will see that you can view and analyze the traffic trends above to determine which keywords generate the most traffic (therefore, you may target the RICHTIGEN Keywords to increase your traffic from search engines such as Google).
What You Need To Know About Moz, Is It A Good Tool?
Additionally, Moz has developed other tools such as Page Authority and Domain Authority. These ranking tools are intended to assist you in determining how your website should appear in the SERPs. They are, however, proprietary and have no bearing on your actual rating, so they are not necessary.
Enter your desired keywords, and Semrush will analyse the top 10 pages that rank for those terms. You will then receive recommendations on how to optimise your content based on the material that is presently ranking highly for those keywords.
The first is the Phrase Overview Dashboard, which provides you with a comprehensive report on each keyword. This enables you to examine the keywords you've shortlisted and determine whether or not to target them.
It displays the most famous content for each keyword and provides metrics for each page, such as organic traffic, referring domains, and social shares. In this manner, you can determine the type of material most appropriate for a specific topic and develop more compelling content on that subject.
Page Explorer: This function enables you to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the backlinks, traffic, and keywords associated with any website URL, whether your own or one of your competitors'. You receive a comprehensive analysis of all backlinks pointing to your desired domain.
Ahrefs is a competition analysis tool that enables you to conduct keyword research, backlink analysis, and ranking tracking, among other functions. Additionally, you gain access to a massive quantity of data in one location, including over 16 trillion backlinks, 7 billion keywords, and 1 billion articles.
Therefore, concentrate on identifying the keywords that create the most clicks in Google searches. In this manner, even if you rank on the first page, you can enhance your search traffic (more search traffic if you rank in the top 3 search results).
This tool allows you to monitor your website's or competitors' rating for the most critical search terms. You may use it to analyse your website's performance for specific keywords or monitor your competitors' performance over time.
It is, in my opinion, quite good. And if you're already running Google Ads for your website and a few clients, that may be plenty. However, when it comes to PPC, Ahrefs is not comparable to SEMrush.
If you're solely concerned with increasing your Google rankings, I'd recommend sticking with Ahrefs or one of the other tools I've mentioned. If, on the other hand, you want SEO to be a byproduct of your content marketing, BuzzSumo will be invaluable.
When brainstorming fresh keyword ideas, consider the number of clicks for each keyword. For instance, "games" receives 140,000 monthly searches but only 30,000 clicks.

There isn't much now, that signifies Christmas was only two days ago, other than the abundance of chocolate in the house, the presence still of a tree with glittering ornaments and other holiday decor. The gift bags are empty and some treasured new items have been absorbed in to our days. Everyone seemed to have a good time this year. The stocking hunt was successful…..
The cats received fun new toys that they enjoyed…..
And there was plenty of gatherings, with laughter, delicious food and wine, more cookies than one could shake a leg at, and little children with bright happy faces. But just like that, the planning and preparing and decorating and plotting and going and coming and caroling and waiting waiting waiting was over…… *poof*…… just like that. You wake up on the 26th and it's back to normal, back to reality, back to work (for some) and another Christmas is done. It seems like so much anticipation, and then in a blink it's gone.
Some aspects remain, memories made and smiles shared and a new gift to use or enjoy. Or maybe, what remains most prominently is a smidgen of the amazing Cranberry Pound Cake that, on a whim, I whipped together and pushed in to the oven, before dashing upstairs to shower an hour before guests were due to arrive. It was still baking, rich and fragrant and eliciting all sorts of 'What IS that in the oven?' queries when my family arrived, and before coats were even shed.
And me, nonchalantly trying to avoid panicking, since the cake seemed off when I shoved the pan in the oven and raced off with a prayer, I just shrugged and said 'Cranberry cake' as if I'd just, you know, trimmed a nail or something because I really had little confidence it was going to be worthy of Christmas dessert. It was a blind preparation, something I'd never made before and I had everything I needed and took a chance. It seemed simple enough.
And thankfully, the alchemy of eggs, sugar, butter, flour and a hot oven created a masterpiece that I can't wait to make again.
I get a bit overly excited each year when faced with orbs of fresh deep red cranberries in the store, and often stockpile as many bags as I dare in the freezer to use over the winter months. I spotted this recipe at Apartment Therapy (as usual….) and tucked it away to try, then of course, got caught up in the crazy whirlwind of pre-Christmas and neglected to make a dessert for our family gathering. But…. like I said, it worked despite a few reservations. In fact, it worked so well that I already am thinking about another go of it. I mean, by golly the initial cake isn't even gone from it's plate and I want another one. That HAS to be a good cake, right? It's got an amazingly rich, yet light taste and a dense sponge to the cake, sweet but not cloying. Pops of deep cranberry flavor are laced with pure almond taste, and the crumbly sugary crust is simply divine. You could make this for an amazing dessert to impress, or you could just make it for yourself as a phenomenal treat.
Cranberry Cake
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, slightly softened and cut into chunks
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon almond extract (optional)
1 tablespoon kirsch (optional)
2 cups flour
2 1/2 cups cranberries (1 bag)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 9×13 pan or a 10″ springform pan. You can also use a standard Bundt pan, or 10″ tube pan with removable bottom.Beat eggs and sugar together for 8-10 minutes —no, this is not a misprint! …. the egg and sugar mixture should double in volume and turn pale yellow, leaving thick and shiny ribbons of batter when you lift the beaters. This is the only leavening in the cake so make it good and fluffy.
Add the butter and flavorings and beat for 2 more minutes. Stir in flour and fold in cranberries. Pour into greased pan.
Bake 45-50 minutes for a 9×13, or a little over an hour for the springform, bundt or tube pan. You made need to tent the cake with foil in the last 15 minutes or so to keep the top from browning too much.
Cool completely before serving.
Optional pecan topping:
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup pecans, toastedHeat the butter in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and stir. Add the toasted pecans and cook for several minutes, stirring, until the butter and sugar mixture is shiny and smooth and the nuts smell toasted. Spread over the cake batter and bake as above.
Original recipe, from Faith Durand at Apartment Therapy, The Kitchn.
~~~Next time I make this cake, I think the addition of fresh orange juice and freshly grated orange zest would be wonderful. Also, a scant 1/2 teaspoon of fresh grated nutmeg would also be marvelous. So many possibilities!!!

Nothing beats the exhilaration brought about by speed. Anyone who has ever driven an automobile has at least dreamt of taking the role of Steve McQueen in "Bullitt", getting into a high-speed car chase. If not Bullitt, each driver has dreamt playing Michael Caine's Charlie Cosker in "The Italian Job", driving that gorgeous convertible into the very heart of the gold heist.. Anyone who has ever taken control of the wheel has at least once dreamt of driving not just to get from point A to point B but to go from point A to B in flair. And driving a fantastic sports car fulfills this dream.
In making an automobile or any land vehicle for that matter, a lot of factors are being considered: cost of material, safety, efficiency, and performance are only some of these at play on the drawing board of a car maker. A sports car however, in definition gives priority to performance above all other factors. By performance, speed is usually the first thing that comes to mind. Speed relies heavily on the power of the car's engine.
Most sports cars do have muscle engines which can outrun even the fastest sedans easily. A sports car engineer therefore puts it first on the list of factors that he has to consider: how to travel the distance with the least amount of time possible.
But of course, even if performance is a cut above every other consideration, the other factors are never neglected. Safety cannot be compromised, because even the fastest sports car needs a driver on the wheel at all times, and safe at all times. Besides, everyone wants to drive from start to finish in one piece, after all. So a performance-oriented vehicle must pay attention to the other factors and not rely solely on the car engine's power.
A number of sports cars compensate for a not-so-powerful engine with a light body, paying due respect to the laws of physics: the lighter the mass, the smaller amount of force required to move this mass. This is also the reason why a sports cars usually are smaller, and do not have backseats. If these cars do have backseats, these are not as convenient as a sedan's and is only a throwaway to please the insurance companies. One may also notice that a sports car quite often only has two doors, and it shares the same reason as that of the backseat.
Because it can outperform any of the regular four-seater cars out in the market, sports cars are sold obviously at a higher price. Another reason is because quality materials are almost always being used to withstand the heavier wear and tear in this type of vehicle.
This also explains why purchasing a sports car remains a pipe dream to most car enthusiasts. But it doesn't have to be that way anymore. It is easier to get one's hands on the steering wheel of a sports car than most people think. One just has to have the imagination and acumen to do so.
Buying a sports car does not have to mean going to your nearest car dealer and getting a brand new vehicle off the rack. There are quite a handful of these vehicles beyond the dealer's garage, in very good condition and sold at a lower price. You can always check out car auctions and watch out of sports car models being sold at pancake rates. Pre-owned sports cars are always available on your local car magazine or website; sometimes it just requires you to pay more attention to these ad placements; you'll never know when the sports car of your dreams is right under your nose.
Buying second-hand sports cars maybe the best way to go if one is facing monetary constraints. If a pre-owned sports car is taken cared of properly, it will give one the same excitement that a new one can provide.
There are also private sellers particularly of sports cars. More often than not, owners of these sports cars found themselves short of cash and are willing to dispose of their sports cars at considerably low prices, much to their resistance. Desperation is in a way good for buyers on the look-out: they get their dream vehicles at bargain prices.
And once you have spotted the car of your dreams, it is wise to exercise routine vehicle inspection, the way one does when buying a regular car. Do not forget to visually inspect the engine, the interior and the body. It is a folly to disregard these simple reminders, especially when buying a pre-owned sports car. You as a buyer can easily assess the condition of the car, how well it was maintained by the owner, simply by looking at it. Then, the proof of the pudding is in the eating: do not forget to test-drive your prospect sports vehicle before closing the purchase. Give it a go and see how it feels. If it feels good – and you feel like Steve McQueen in Bullitt – it is time to call that sports car your own.
