Coming up short in domain name game
By Claudia Eller and Richard Verrier

When the Hollywood studios say they don't know enough about the Internet to pay writers what they seek for the streaming and downloading of their shows, they might not be kidding.
That was made embarrassingly clear Monday when a group of opportunistic writers unveiled a website lampooning the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents the studios in labor negotiations. The alliance neglected to register two key domain names, an oversight seized upon by the writers, who are now in the sixth week of a strike.
Using the Web addresses amptp.com and amptp.net, the writers built a fake site announcing that the alliance was "heartbroken" that negotiations had collapsed "despite our best efforts, including sending them a muffin basket, making them a mixed CD and standing outside their window with a boombox blasting Peter Gabriel songs."
Featuring the same logo and typeface as amptp.org, the official website of the alliance, the faux site calls the studios' "new economic partnership proposal . . . the single greatest document since the Magna Carta."
It also includes a "breaking news" section, with headlines linked to UnitedHollywood.com, a site supporting striking writers.
The owner of the domains is Bill Davis, a self-described "military and police technical advisor" to movies and TV shows. Davis said he had owned the site names for more than a year, and last week was approached by a person who was interested in paying him for their use.
Davis declined to identify the person or how much money he received. "It was strictly entrepreneurial. I did it on whim," he said, adding that he twice offered to sell or lease the domain names to the alliance, most recently last weekend.
The writers behind the site are on safe legal ground, said cyber-law expert Michael Atkins of Seattle.
"It's perfectly defensible for a disgruntled party to use someone else's trademark if the purpose is to protest," Atkins said. It would be improper only if the writers were attempting to confuse the public or sell something.
A spokesman for the alliance confirmed it had received an e-mail from Davis but had not yet responded to him. "We've been telling the writers that the Internet potential hasn't been fully realized, and here's a case in point," Jesse Hiestand said. "We tried to obtain [the domains] a while back, but like the guild, the owner refused to negotiate a deal with us."
As it turns out, the alliance isn't the only player in the strike that may still have a lot to learn about the Internet.
The Writers Guild of America also did not register other domain suffixes. The wga.com site address is owned by the Western Growers Assn., an Irvine-based trade group of farmers.

Q: NSOperation Fetching Image and Updating UITableView UIImageView Property I have created a fetchImageOperation class which inherits from NSOperation. It fetches the image using a URL and then fires the block when done. My question is that if I have the following code:
    - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier forIndexPath:indexPath];

    Customer *customer = [_customers objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];

    FetchImageOperation *imageOperation = [[FetchImageOperation alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:vegetable.imageURL]];

    cell.nameLabel.text = customer.name;

    imageOperation.fetchImageOperationCompletionBlock = ^(UIImage *image)
    {
        [cell.thumbnailImageView setImage:image];
    };

    [_queue addOperation:imageOperation];

    return cell;
}

Is the setImage method called on the main thread (UI Thread) by default? I can confirm that the above code works and it does sets the image property of the thumbnailaImageView element.
FetchImageOperation.m file:
@implementation FetchImageOperation

-(id) initWithURL:(NSURL *)url
{
    self = [super init];
    self.url = url;
    return self;
}

-(void) main
{
    NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:_url];
    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];

    if(self.fetchImageOperationCompletionBlock != nil)
    {
        self.fetchImageOperationCompletionBlock(image);
    }
}

@end

A: In no way is the call to any UI method automatically on the main thread. In this case, it will be called on whatever thread your NSOperation subclass's main method is running on.
You should use something like
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
    if(self.fetchImageOperationCompletionBlock != nil) {
        self.fetchImageOperationCompletionBlock(image);
    }
});

If you want to guarantee all the fetchImageOperationCompletionBlocks are fired on the main thread. And due to cell re-use you'll want to not be calling properties on the cell itself, instead save the index path to the cell in the block and and use the cell at that index path, or something.

A: The block is called on the same thread as the operation. So no, it's called on a background thread, so it won't work properly.
Also, when the block finishes you have no idea if the cell is still being used for the same thing or if its been reused.
Rather than doing what you're doing, look at using something like SDWebImage.

A: You could save the cell's indexPaths and FetchImageOperation in the dictionary to be able to control the operation progress and cell access after the application completes:
NSMutableDictionary *operations; // Define and initialise dictionary to hold operations

- (void)(UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    // ...

    UIImage *image = [customer image];
    if (image == nil) {
        image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"ImageHolder"];
        if (![[operations allKeys] containsObject:indexPath]) {
            FetchImageOperation *imageOperation = [[FetchImageOperation alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:vegetable.imageURL]];
            imageOperation.fetchImageOperationCompletionBlock = ^(UIImage *image) {
                // Do updates on the main thread
                dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath]
                    [cell.thumbnailImageView setImage:image];
                    [operations removeObjectForKey:indexPath];
                };
            };
            [operations setObject:imageOperation forKey:indexPath];
            [_queue addOperation:imageOperation];
        }
    }
}

// You should cancel image operations if cell goes out from the screen
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didEndDisplayingCell:(UITableViewCell *)cell forRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    NSOperation *operation = [operations objectForKey:indexPath];
    [operation cancel];
}

How You Can Effectively Reach Your Bowflex Elliptical Fitness Goals.
Bowflex Elliptical Fitness can do a lot more for your body than make your muscles look well-defined. It is essential for a long and fulfilling life. It's important for you to focus on changing your lifestyle to a healthier one that is sustainable throughout your life. These selected tips should guide you through these changes.
Get an exercise regimen that works for your body, and it will be easy to stay at it. You will anticipate your workouts since they are fun for you.
TIP! Try out many exercises, and choose your favorites to build a routine that you can stick to. Choose something that you love, so you can look forward to exercising.
By adding variety to one's routine, the body will receive maximum benefits. If someone usually uses a treadmill, they can easily run around their neighborhood. Switching things up will help different sets of muscles gain the endurance and continued strengthening they need. By adding variety to workouts, one can avoid the body becoming too accustomed to any given exercise, which keeps weight loss steady.
Change up your exercise regimen with a broader selection of workout choices. A varied routine makes it easier to stay focused and motivated when you are trying to become more fit. Additionally, muscles can become too acclimated to certain exercises and you won't continue to benefit as much from them.
Create a garden oasis. Starting a garden requires a lot of hard physical work. You will have to squat a lot, dig, pull weeds and carry heavy things. Gardening can be an excellent way to keep fit and exercise your body.
If you are looking to gain muscle mass, then do more reps with a lesser weight to achieve this. Muscle mass is not all about being able to lift the most but to endure the longest without losing strength. The top lifters in the world swear by this way of training.
Are you like many others and have very little free time in your life? Make your workouts into two sessions. You don't need to work out longer, simply split the time in half. For example, rather than jog for one continuous hour, try jogging half an hour early in the day, then jog for half an hour in the evening hours. If you would rather not go to the gym 2 times a day, then do one workout at the gym and one at home.
TIP! Are you short on exercise time? You can cut your workout into smaller increments. You don't have to work out more, just break the time in half.
Controlling your breathing could make your workouts more effective. Exhale your breath forcefully when you are at the highest point of your situps or crunches. When you exhale deeply, it forces your abs to contract resulting in a better workout.
A great Bowflex elliptical fitness tip is to start doing dips. Dips are an effective exercise to work not only your triceps, but your chest and shoulders, too. There are quite a few ways to approach them too. You can do gravity-assisted dips by doing them between two appropriately-positioned benches. You could even add a bit of weight to make it tougher.
Lift weights in less than an hour. Furthermore, your muscle mass begins to degrade if you work them for longer than an hour at a time. Be sure to keep your weightlifting sessions to no more than one hour.
Lifting weights can help you run. Lifting weights help build strength. Studies show that those runners that lift weights regularly can run farther and faster without getting tired.
Each time you lift weights, flex your glutes. This is not only good for a glute workout, it also lowers your chance of injury since you will be in a better position. The more stabilized position of your spine greatly diminishes your risk for injury.
TIP! For every rep of weight lifts that you do, ensure your glutes are flexed. This is not only good for a glute workout, it also lowers your chance of injury since you will be in a better position.
One way to improve leg strength is to perform leg extensions. You can find leg machines in just about any gym in the world. Find a machine where you can do leg extensions, a great exercise to work on both your calves and thighs. All you do is extend your legs upward while you are sitting down.
One Bowflex elliptical fitness trick to keep in mind is to push your tongue upward into the top of your mouth while you are doing sit-ups or other floor exercises. If you do this, it helps to keep your body in the right form. Doing this will help you to avoid muscle strains and injuries.
It is possible to become more powerful by working out in much less time than you normally would. This helps your muscles getting a better workout in, while also helping to improve your stamina. As an example, during your next workout session, trim 2 minutes off of your 20 minute routine.
TIP! It is possible to get stronger faster if you do more exercise in less time. This helps your muscles getting a better workout in, while also helping to improve your stamina.
A great way to enhance your Bowflex elliptical fitness is to work on your abdominal muscles. Doing sit-ups will help you develop your abs. Try doing them with weights to increase the difficulty. Your core is the best muscle you have for gaining flexibility, and it can help make the rest of your body stronger as well.
Take it slow if you are just starting your workout program. Focus on breathing the right way, while also concentrating on how to properly do the exercises. This helps let you do things the correct way right from the start while also preventing any injuries from occurring.
There are more than just the physical benefits to a fitness routine. Your emotional health and outlook on life can also benefit from a fitness program. The endorphins released by physical activity result in a sense of well-being and happiness. Furthermore, exercising helps you feel better about yourself and gain a heightened sense of confidence. Keep that in mind every time you workout, and that you're that much closer to true happiness.
TIP! There is more to fitness then just physical benefits. If you start working out you will also be happier.
Get the whole family involved in your Bowflex elliptical fitness plan. Engage them by allowing each member to select that week's activity on a rotating schedule. Always write down what everyone does and who does it. Helping the family see what they're good at can make everyone feel food.
Make sure to drink water regularly. Your body has a tendency to dehydrate quickly due to the rapid movement of muscle fibers rubbing against each other, which produces heat. Because of this, your body sweats to release the extra heat.
A good rule of thumb is to avoid exercising if you feel poorly. Your body needs the full use of all of its resources for the healing process when you're ill. The body is unable to create muscle and increase endurance throughout this period. With this in mind, avoid exercising too strenuously until you are fully recovered. While you're waiting it out, be sure you sleep good and eat well too.
To achieve physical Bowflex elliptical fitness, you should give your abs a regular workout. Work your abs at least 2 days a week to promote a strong core.
It takes larger muscle groups longer to get fatigued than smaller muscles. Start off using handheld dumbbells, after that continue with handheld barbells and follow with a good machine workout.
Do your counting in reverse. You want to count down from your last rep instead of up, this will help keep you motivated. It can make workout sessions seem easier and shorter since you're seeing them in smaller amounts. By knowing exactly how many reps are left you will stay motivated.
TIP! Count your reps down. Instead of starting from zero and counting up, start your count the total reps and count down.
Look for local places that offer access to their machines. For example, sometimes companies offer workers free access and time in the gym. There are other places as well. If your company does not offer this, you should still be aware of the locations of local gyms. The more convenient it is for you to go to the gym, the more likely it is that you will go.
After targeting a particular muscle group one day, spend the next day only lightly working those muscles. One way to carry this out is by working out the sore muscles with much less effort than usual.
TIP! Lightly work the same muscles that were used for exercising yesterday. When exercising tied muscles it is important to use less effort when using them the next day so that you do not cause injury to the muscles.
A stability or exercise ball is a great alternative for an office chair, as long as you can safely balance yourself on the ball. While just sitting at the desk, the exercise ball helps improve your balance as well as the tone of your core muscles. There are other exercises, such as wall squats, that can be performed with the Bowflex elliptical fitness ball during breaks in your day.
Video games are no longer just for couch potatoes. There are lots of movement oriented games that will get you moving, such as Wii Fit and Dance Dance Revolution.
Strength training can help you as you run. This is why some runners should consider lifting weights. It's been verified in formal studies that lifting weights gives runners improved endurance, as well as increased speed, when compared to those who don't lift.
TIP! When you are wanting to run you should lift weights. Many runners don't think about resistance training as a supplement to their jogging, but it is wise to reconsider this notion.
Get a nutritionists or dietitian to assist you to get healthier. It is easy to get rid of junk food, but harder to plan meals that will contribute to your optimum Bowflex elliptical fitness level. The dietician can help you figure out your new calorie requirements and steer your toward foods that will complement your workouts.
You should try to get about half an hour of cardio exercise each day. You will lose weight and have stronger muscles, this includes the heart. Remember, however, that long cardio sessions require long recovery times.
Make sure that your back and your front are balanced efficiently. If you only work out either your abdominal muscles or your lower back muscles, prepare to get some back pain. Additionally, exercising your back can do a lot to stop back pain before it starts from any reason, so be sure to focus on both sides.
Make sure to look at the bright side of things when it comes to your physical Bowflex elliptical fitness. Also, keep your eyes open for new things you can do to improve your level of Bowflex elliptical fitness. By utilizing the above advice, you can continue to work toward your Bowflex elliptical fitness goals and enjoy an increased level of Bowflex elliptical fitness.
The most efficient way to stay fit is daily workouts. This way you can burn more calories in the same amount of time. It will also help your workouts to become good habits. Don't make each day the same, though; have some heavier workout days and some easier days so that your body doesn't get overwhelmed.

Stand up for your rights this Saturday
An ad hoc committee has been meeting privately since March crafting recommendations on Humboldt County's "urgency ordinance" codes. They also communicated privately with the Sheriff, the District Attorney and a Deputy County Counsel. Now they are asking us what we think. On Saturday, there's a Human Rights Commission sponsored forum to receive public comment.
I thank the ad hoc committee for donating their time and for again recommending repeal. However, I must say "no thank you" to the recommended draft policy statement. Despite the stated intent to ensure protection of First Amendment rights in Humboldt County, the draft policy provides little, if any, protection.
Unless we act, I see this headline in our future: "Board adopts six recommendations, policy statement written by Human Rights Commission." Within the article we'll read: "The board indicated the urgency ordinance laws are still needed for health and safety."
Yes, the draft policy statement "affirms" our rights, but it then includes a list of vague restrictions. Yes, it states the county "shall develop procedures to meet the needs for communication, education, accommodation and enforcement to address complaints." But it also gives discretion to law enforcement, tipping the balance toward enforcement. The discussions I heard among commissioners at their regular open meetings emphasized enforcement as a last step, after communication, education and accommodation.
I think most of the officers I encountered in front of the courthouse would ask the county not to use our criminal justice system to interact with people engaged in free speech and peaceful assembly on public property. When there is an immediate danger to public health, safety or property then law enforcement is there for county staff. For less serious offenses there should be a Board of Supervisors-authorized civil process, such as abatement and/or court order, if staff cannot resolve an issue.
What I experienced during Occupy Eureka was law enforcement attempting to impose new restrictions. Then county staff's attempt. They had no authority to restrict free speech or remove a peaceful assembly. So they requested help from the Board of Supervisors.
The board requested an interim ordinance. The written motion directed staff to write the language for an ordinance. We were shown a blank piece of paper and told, "There isn't one yet, this is just the first step." In a radio interview the next day another supervisor said an urgency ordinance was a "stopgap measure" and would be on the next week's morning session. Obviously not all our supervisors were fully informed, or perhaps all were only fully informed after the public meeting.
At the next meeting, using health and safety as justification, the "urgency ordinance" immediately added restrictions to the Humboldt County codes. It was a mistake, only forcing the unpopular protesters to move to the sidewalk. Three months later, the last Occupy Eureka protesters left and then the homeless camp, or protest, was removed.
In their draft policy statement the ad hoc committee states that there must be a process to impose restrictions. But there are processes, and one was used to enact the "urgency ordinance." Another process involves a public hearing to accept the draft language of an ordinance, which is then adopted a week later as part of the consent calendar, followed by a period of time before it is enforced. To protect our rights we need a more rigorous process before laws enact restrictions on free speech and peaceful assemblies. Until there's an opportunity for a public discussion of such a process, at least their recommendation to remove codes enacted by the "urgency ordinance" should be acted on to protect future unpopular individuals or groups.
Though I may not fully agree with them, I wish to encourage the ad hoc committee in their request for public input. Please join me and thank the ad hoc committee for standing firm and recommending repeal of the interim "urgency ordinance" codes.
On Saturday, public comment will be received beginning at 3 p.m. at the County Office of Education in Eureka (901 Myrtle Ave.). The draft document will be available for public review at 1 p.m. Also scheduled are informal discussions from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Then a panel will address written questions until 3 p.m. The event may extend to 5 p.m. The document is also available online at http://co.humboldt.ca.us/humanrightscom/. Written comments can be sent to: Human Rights Commission, 825 Fifth St. Eureka 95501 or via email to info@humboldthumanrights.org.

Q: How can I get the full precision of a decimal from a stored procedure using Hibernate? I have a SQL Server 2019 stored procedure with a output parameter of decimal(38,36). I call the stored procedure from a Spring Repository (using latest version of Spring Boot at time of writing):
//code in service layer that calls stored procedure via Spring repo
BigDecimal value = metricRepository.getMetricValue("myMetric");

value should be to 36 decimals. Instead I get a value rounded to four decimal places. Why don't I get all decimal places? What should I do to get all 36 decimal places?
Here's what I'm using to print the value:
pw.printf("%38.34f,%n", value); //pw is a PrintWriter

For example, if the database returns
0.0622665006200000000000000000000000
the code above will print:
0.0623000000000000000000000000000000
Here is my repository and domain object:
public interface MetricRepository extends Repository<Metric, Long> {

    @Transactional
    @Procedure(name = "Metric.metricProc", outputParameterName = "value")
    BigDecimal getMetricValue(@Param("metricname") String name);

}

@Entity
@NamedStoredProcedureQuery(name = "Metric.metricProc", procedureName = "Metric.metricCapProc", parameters = {
          @StoredProcedureParameter(mode = ParameterMode.IN, name = "metricname", type = String.class),
          @StoredProcedureParameter(mode = ParameterMode.OUT, name = "anotherOutParam", type = BigDecimal.class),
          @StoredProcedureParameter(mode = ParameterMode.OUT, name = "value", type = BigDecimal.class)})
public class Metric {

    @Id
    public String metricName;

}

Update
When I change output param type to Double, I get the full precision. But according to Microsoft, the SQL Server type DECIMAL should map to BigDecimal?!? So, I'm still wondering why I can't get full precision using BigDecimal and a little concerned about the accuracy of using Double.
@StoredProcedureParameter(mode = ParameterMode.OUT, name = "value", type = Double.class)

Update 2
This decision to round appears to be with Hibernate. With trace logging I found the following when type is set to BigDecimal:

2023-01-12T18:24:20.728-06:00 TRACE 28576 --- [restartedMain]
org.hibernate.orm.jdbc.extract           : extracted procedure output
parameter ([3] : [NUMERIC]) - [0.0623]

With Double, the following is logged:

2023-01-12T18:25:19.851-06:00 TRACE 21980 --- [restartedMain]
org.hibernate.orm.jdbc.extract           : extracted procedure output
parameter ([3] : [FLOAT]) - [0.06226650062]

How can I tell Hibernate not to round when using BigDecimal?
I found this in the Hibernate DecimalJdbcType code but not sure if / how it's responsible for rounding:
@Override
    public <T> BasicJavaType<T> getJdbcRecommendedJavaTypeMapping(
            Integer length,
            Integer scale,
            TypeConfiguration typeConfiguration) {
        return (BasicJavaType<T>) typeConfiguration.getJavaTypeRegistry().getDescriptor( BigDecimal.class );
    }

Update 3
I found that setting scale to 34 (number of digits to the right of decimal point) is easy using JDBC:
 cs.registerOutParameter(3, Types.DECIMAL, 34);

But still can't figure out how to do this using Hibernate. Is it not possible with Hibernate?

Pathways to School Success Initiative – Eurochild response
Equal chances for every child: Education must be accessible and inclusive for every child
Eurochild, together with its partners in the ICAM Project, submitted a response to the European Commission's public consultation on the Pathways to School Success Initiative. The Initiative aims to tackle underachievement in basic skills and early leaving from education and training.
Together with our partners from Italy, Romania, Spain and the UK, we recommend that this new Initiative looks beyond academic results as the benchmark for 'success' in EU education systems. In our position paper, we recommend that the Pathways to School Success Initiative:
outlines a clear framework for action at school and systems level to ensure well-being and inclusive education are prioritised.
targets disadvantaged groups who are more at risk of underachievement and early school leaving, including children with disabilities, with a migrant background or minority ethnic status, from low-educated families, children in alternative care and children living in remote areas.
involves the voices of children in its development, implementation and evaluation, especially those who are the most disadvantaged and marginalised by current education systems.
Together, through focusing on inclusivity and accessibility, we can dismantle inequality in education, and build equitable education systems that support all children to reach their full potential.
Read Eurochild's position paper submitted for this consultation.
Eurochild encourages its members to submit their own response to the consultation, which remains open until 30 September 2021.
We also welcome members who are working on education policy at national and international level, and who are interested in further exchange, to contact the Secretariat by emailing Ciaran O'Donnell.

Springtime in the Springs: Autograph Hunting
(One of our special series about the Angels' memorable spring trainings in Palm Springs, CA — before the Cactus League and in honor of the club's 60th MLB season).
by BJ Martin, angelsnation.com staff writer
The smell of Coppertone sunscreen, spilled draft beer, and steamed hotdogs was in the air as we sat back on our blankets, with a view of the snow-capped San Jacinto Mountains. And sun beaming off the metal seats surrounding the backstop of a small stadium ballpark called Angels Stadium.
Yes — before the MLB Anaheim Stadium became Edison Field, and then became Angel Stadium, in Palm Springs, California the former Polo Grounds was called Angels Stadium, too.
And it was the cozy spring home of the franchise for over thirty years, and a haven for thousands of baseball-loving kids like me.
My earliest memories as an Angels fan include weekend afternoons in Palm Springs with my brother, parents, and grandparents.
Memories and stories.
Stories like how, in Palm Springs one March after an Angels game, I also ended up accidentally "caddying" for the great "Mr Cub" — Ernie Banks, Hall of Famer.
But I'll save that one until the end to keep y'all reading.
Those Palm Springs weekends were spent inside this square block in the scrubby desert — bordered by East Baristo Road to the north, South Pavilion Way to the east, Ramon Road to the south, and South Sunrise Road to the west.
The ballpark itself only consisted of less than 4,000 seats within the small concrete stadium. Outside the park was another park.
Inside the stadium, modest aluminum bleachers extended each way along the foul lines just beyond the infield. Later, some were added in right field.
So here was Major League Baseball in the most intimate setting of all inside Sunrise Park — a lush park that had some light exercise equipment, paved trails, a few basketball courts, and lovely spots to picnic prior to games between batting practice and first pitch.
We snacked on packed fried chicken and potato salad before the game in the shade of the palm trees — lots of palm trees.
My first visits were in March, 1979, and I clearly remember unfolding beach chairs and blankets beyond the chain-linked fence behind right field.
Looking through the outfield fence gave us a field-level view of the action and the players — from the Angels and the "Visitors" — and in the late innings they'd jog along the warning track in the long shadows after checking out early, work done, from games that wouldn't count in the standings.
As a young fan and autograph seeker, I knew the secret spot: A key feature of the little ballpark was a single entrance and exit from each team's locker room, which led right into the park behind the stadium entrance behind home plate.
The early '80s Angels were playoff-hungry teams, and we kids were hungry to hit them up for autographs.
There were no private player parking lots behind fenced area. The players parked in lots across the park from the stadium, giving plenty of time for youngsters to rub elbows with our heroes.
Sometimes too close?
A very accommodating Doug DeCinces once showed a group of fans (including myself) the ballpoint-pen ink markings on his big forearms, like temporary tattoos. Packs of young, eager fans. holding out pens and baseballs, bubblegum cards or other stuff in DeCinces' direction, had unknowingly scribbled all over the All-Star's arms.
The smiling third baseman laughed it off, and he washed it off later.
You could get an autograph from most of these stars — but maybe not Fred Lynn / courtesy California Angels
A circular metal bike rack stood about thirty yards beyond the home plate entrance to the ballpark. One Sunday afternoon, about 30 minutes after a game ended, I saw superstar Reggie Jackson asking the fans to form a line for his autograph there.
Mr. October leaned back against that bike rack and he signed autographs from that spot until the very last kid in the line got the future Hall of Famer's autograph.
Palm Springs was laid back like that in those days.
Future Angels were a big part of the picture, too. Can't-miss prospects Gary Pettis and Dick Schofield would exit the ballpark together and sign their rookie or minor league baseball cards for the fans as they headed for their car and their dinner.
Palm Springs was the playground of Angel owner Gene Autry, and the Cowboy would exit the ballpark side-by-side with his fans, generously chatting, posing for precious photos, and signing autographs of his own. He was a star but loved his Angels and his fans.
Some some star players eluded us. Were they sneaky? There was a story, possibly an urban legend, circulating that some players (Fred Lynn, it was said) would allegedly avoid the autograph hounds by escaping the ballpark through the field and then climbing over the outfield wall to the safety of his car.
Whatever his secret, there was no doubt that Lynn, the Angels star centerfielder, had an uncanny knack of not being seen by fans after games. It's funny now, but whatever the method, it worked. I never saw him.
But I saw most of the players. I was able to meet Angels' legends Jackson, Rod Carew, and Don Sutton as they left the ballpark.
Visiting players were also a huge thrill. We met and casually chatted with Paul Molitor, Robin Yount, Ryne Sandberg, Andre Dawson and Tony Gwynn. All of them are currently enshrined in Cooperstown. I was lucky to meet them in Palm Springs.
Palm Springs was the setting of so many memories like this and more — memories that mold a lifelong baseball fan and now a bit of a baseball historian.

One afternoon, about ten minutes before first pitch, I saw the Brewers' Paul Molitor along the third base line and politely asked for his autograph. He declined at that time — Molitor was preparing for the game — but he made sure to toss me a ball from the field over the ten-foot chain-link fence that separated us.
I caught it cleanly, and Molitor smiled.
The spring following the Chicago Cubs' remarkable 1984 season, I recall encountering the late broadcast legend Harry Caray and GM Dallas Green and getting both of them to sign a team photo Fleer baseball card that I had previously had manager Jim Frey sign.
Today, I still have this card in my collection of memories from this magical period of my adolescent baseball fandom.
Prior to the 1986 season, I watched the Athletics and Angels putting on a "home run derby" of sorts during their batting practice sessions in Palm Springs. Here's how that went down:
Oakland's musclebound rookie Jose Canseco, prospect Mark McGwire, and veteran Dave Kingman took turns demolishing BP baseballs onto East Baristo Road.
But during the Angels' BP, the home team weren't to be outdone.
It was as clear as the blue sky that a phenomenon was heading to the Big A after that spring of '86. It was marvelous to watch towering homers crash off the bat of fresh-faced rookie Wally Joyner towards the towering mountains.
Wally repeatedly cleared the center and left-center field walls in BP, and to everyone's delight, homered in the game to follow.
It was clear there a battle was brewing between these sluggers when Oakland and the Angels would meet in the regular season.
Later in the decade, I would make the trek from Orange County to Palm Springs with my high school buddies for a more "mature" experience. We'd soak in the games at Angels Stadium in the daylight hours before cruising the wild streets of Palm Springs in a time in which it was also Spring Break mecca
By this time, the team and city had added a much larger grandstand in right-center field with boarded outfield walls with advertising.
I remember sitting in those outfield seats in late March as the Angels concluded their final series at the ballpark, before committing to plans to relocate to Tempe the very next season. Maybe my memories got hazy because I was a young man on "spring break," or because it didn't feel quite "the same." But still the place to be.
An encounter with Hall of Famer Ernie Banks in Palm Springs is a memory the author will never forget. / Photo Getty Images
I said I'd save the best of my Palm Springs memories for last, so here it is: My encounter with the with retired, Hall of Famer Ernie Banks.
Ernie Banks was with the visiting Chicago Cubs as a team ambassador, and in the early innings of a game, outside the locker room exits, a small group of kids and adolescents like myself were requesting his autograph.
He was accommodating all of these requests and I was the last of the seekers to reach Mr. Cub.
At that point, Banks told me he's sign by baseball if "I did him a favor."
I said "Sure, Mr. Banks" and followed Banks about a hundred feet or so from the locker room exit to a sedan parked in the nearby parking lot.
The Hall of Famer popped open the trunk and there were his golf clubs, in a custom pro-style golf bag that said: "Mr. Cub."
Mr. Banks politely requested that I caddy his bags from his vehicle into the Cubs' locker room entrance in exchange for that requested autograph.
And boy, did I! … I gladly did the honors and Ernie Banks obliged me with his signature on a baseball for me, as well with a couple dozen other autographs.
That was something. But those days had to move ahead.
The Angels moving to Tempe made all the sense in the world. The Angels were the oddballs of spring training, playing so far away from the Phoenix-Tucson region, despite the wonderment of Palm Springs.
The Angels' move meant that only the Padres' border-town facility in Yuma, Arizona was apart from the Phoenix area, and even Yuma was still a couple hours' drive closer to the metro areas of Arizona that hosted the other Cactus League teams.
It's so different now. Tempe's Diablo Stadium has provided another set of wonderful memories for another generation of Angels fans.
But for those of us who were able to experience Angels spring trainings, so close to Orange County, and in the oasis setting of Palm Springs — well, we will always cherish the memories of those 90-degree afternoons in the Coachella Valley, in the little park in the desert, rooting on our Halos heroes.

37 iOS 8 Tips Every Apple Fan Should Know Diverse Emojis
37 iOS 8 Tips Every Apple Fan Should Know
Eric Griffith
30 Sep 2014, 2 p.m.
Apple iOS 8 did not have the smoothest of rollouts. Problems like slow Wi-Fi and battery drains cropped up almost immediately after launch, and the first update borked cellular connections and Touch ID on the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Oops.
Still, as PCMag found in our review, "Apple's latest update brings desirable functionality, improved navigation, and subtle design changes to an already solid mobile operating system."
By now we're up to the full 8.3 release, but the mobile operating system overall has a ton of upgrades from iOS 7 and tricks under the hood—things the average user may never notice or care about. We'll likely get a sneak peek at iOS 9 at June's WWDC, but if history is any indication, the full version won't arrive until the fall, so we have a couple more months to make the most out of iOS 8.
Power users of the iPhone—those of us who exploit that pocket computer as a lifeline to the office and home—will benefit highly by mastering this OS. Apple opened up iOS more to the makers of wearables (via HealthKit) and even to third-party app makers who now have some unprecedented (for Apple) access to the hardware. It all adds up to the best iPhones yet.
Of course, iOS is not as customizable as Android. It probably never will be. That's by design, as Apple is trying to create "the mobile operating systems for the masses," as PCMag put it. Even Android's customizability has a cost, in complexity and even stability. (Apple haters can chime in now with the jokes.) But this roundup is for Apple fans. Now go forth and be a master over every iOS 8 feature.
This story was originally published on Sept. 30, 2014.
Diverse Emojis
Apple has taken some heat over the years for its integrated emoji keyboard only supporting the skin color of Caucasians (or actually, more like Springfieldians; the default yellow hue matches best to Homer Simpson). With iOS 8.3, many emojis now have diversity: hold your finger on an emoji of a face, hand, or figure with visible skin and you'll get a choice of five new colors. (This doesn't work on smilies or cats or the famous poop emoji.)
In fact, Apple added over 300 new emoji, and not just to put diversity on existing pics. There are also new items like the Apple Watch (of course), but also new family configurations, such as same-sex couples.
Also new on the emoji keyboard: continuous left/right scrolling, making it easier to get to the images you want.
iCloud Photo Library Is Open
You can keep all your iPhone photos in iCloud (if you've paid to have enough space on the service). Go to the Settings > iCloud > Photos and turn on iCloud Photo Library. This isn't the same as Photo Stream, which syncs photos (no video) across all your iOS devices for 30 days or 1,000 photos. Apple iCloud Photo Library syncs everything, and also allows you to sync with MacOS. In fact, if you turn on iCloud Photo Library, your Photo Stream "disappears"—it's still there, it just isn't made visible in the Photos app. Once it's on, access the uploaded photos on your iOS device by going into the Photos app and tapping the Photos tab (at the bottom).
Because any image you upload via iPhone Photo Library gets downloaded to your other iOS devices, you get extra options in settings to Optimize iPhone Storage (use smaller, lower-quality images) or Download and Keep Originals (higher quality images that take up more space). Choose wisely, depending on the space on your iPhone.
Filter Spam Messages
Do you get a lot of spammy messages via iMessage or SMS text? There's a new feature under Settings > Messages called Filter Unknown Senders. Turn it on, and in the Messages app, you'll now get buttons at the top for "Contacts & SMS"—that's for everyone you know who is listed as a contact—and "Unknown Senders." That way you still get the messages, but they're not part of the regular list. The latter also don't get an alert sounds/vibration when arriving.
Got a really annoying spammer? Messages threads with people not in your contacts get an extra link at the bottom, which you can use to report junk senders directly to Apple.
Tap and Apple Pay
With iOS 8.1, Apple finally turned on Apple Pay for iPhone 6/6 Plus (you need a device with NFC). Apple Watch, however, will provide the NFC shopping feature for iPhone 5/5s users.
To use it, go to the PassBook app—the one typically used for tracking loyalty cards and boarding passes. Tap the + sign in the upper right, click Set Up Apple Pay, and choose to use the card that's already on file with iTunes, or to enter a new Debit or Credit Card. (Remember, you can use the camera to scan in the number on a credit card!)
While shopping, look for a terminal with the universal tap-and-pay symbol (pictured) or one that says ApplePay to be doubly sure, hold the iPhone next to it, enter a pin or use your fingerprint to confirm the transaction, and the purchase is complete.
Talk to Siri Whenever You Like
Want to talk to Siri but don't want to push a button? If the iPhone is plugged in (and you've got "Allow 'Hey Siri"' turned on in Settings > General > Siri), you can just say "Hey Siri." The microphone vigilantly listens for the words, even in standby, and will spring to life to help with your audio query.
From Siri to Speaker Phone
Originally, if you asked Siri to place a call, she would—but if you needed it on speaker, you still had to hit a button. Not very hands-free friendly. Now simply add "on speaker" to a request—like "Call Lindsay on speaker"—and Siri will send the call directly to the speaker phone.
Shazam via Siri
When that unrecognizable-yet-oh-so-familiar song comes on, you don't have time to go searching for the Shazam app to make it listen in and tell you who's singing. Thankfully, Shazam's primary function is now integrated with Siri. Just ask your pocket A.I., "Siri, who's singing?" and she'll let you know, complete with a little Shazam logo.
Fill In Your Medical ID
Maybe the smartest update of iOS 8: In the new Health app (now required by iOS 8—you can't delete it) is a feature called Medical ID. It's simply a spot for you to fill in pertinent info about yourself—allergies, medications, blood type, vital stats, medical conditions, and emergency contacts—that emergency medical services (EMS) might need to access. If you allow it in the app, anyone can get to it—even if your iPhone is locked with a fingerprint. On the log-in screen with the number pad, anyone can click the "Emergency" link, either to make a 9-1-1 call, or to tap "*Medical ID" to get your info.
Fill it in now. Your future healthcare provider will thank you.
Scan Credit Cards with the Camera in Safari
Making an online purchase, but don't want to type your credit card number? In iOS 8, if you're using Safari and run into a CC field, you can take a pic of the card to scan the number. It's automatically added to the credit card field.
Recent/Favorite Contacts are a Double Tap Away
The double tap on the home button brings up the App Switcher, a list of your current running or "multitasking" apps (swipe them up and away to close the app). Now, the double tap also shows your most recent contacts at the top; swipe the contacts right to see your Favorite contacts. Tap the contact's icon to make a call, send a message, or contact via FaceTime.
This feature is also a bug, at least when it comes to recent contacts. If you have one visible that you do NOT want to show up there—say, your hated ex—even if you delete your last conversation or all voicemails or evidence of their calls, they still show up. You can turn off either the Favorites or the Recents or both in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Show in App Switcher.
Hide Photos and Videos
You take a lot of pictures, but when someone grabs your phone, it might be nice if they didn't see some of the, uh, more private shots or vids. In the Photos app, hold a finger on the item in question and select "Hide." It'll look like it disappeared, but you can still access it via the Albums button at the bottom. (Hiding also doesn't prevent apps like Flickr, Carousel, OneDrive, IFTTT, etc. from auto-uploading your images if you've got that auto-backup feature activated.)
Send Multiple Photos/Video via Message
When you're in the Messages app, click the camera icon. You still have the option to take a photo or video immediately—but you can also click Photo Library and select a bunch of images/videos to attach and send at all at once, rather than the old one-at-a-time tactic.
Edit a Photo Immediately
In older iOS versions, you took a picture, then had to open it from a favorite image-editing app to do much more than apply a filter to it. Now you can immediately view the pic, click Edit, and crop, rotate, or adjust the light, color, or grayscale. Filters are still an option, too.
Really, REALLY Delete Photos
Did you take some photos on your iOS device and delete them and assume they'd never see the light of your screen again? Be careful. The new iteration of the Photos app added a new Album called Recently Deleted to act as the equivalent of the desktop Trash—deleted images and videos are sent to this album for a 30-day quarantine before truly going away. This is great if you're prone to deleting things and then regretting it—which is why Apple put it in. But if you really, really need to make sure an image is gone from the phone for good, go to that album. You'll see a countdown of days until each image expires; click Select to choose pics to delete entirely (or to recover back to the Photos app.)
Set the Selfie Timer
Yes, the iOS 8 Camera app finally has a timer. Set it to 3 seconds or 10 seconds, hit the shutter button, then wait. The app provides an on-screen countdown; if you're using the rear camera, the flash will blink, getting faster as it gets closer. There is no audio cue option, unfortunately. The camera takes a burst of 10 images. (A timer is nothing that hasn't been on third-party apps like Camera+ ($1.99) for years. About time, Apple!)
Time-Lapse Video Shots
The opposite of Slo-Mo, which debuted with the iPhone 5 and iOS 7, is Time-Lapse (which is now possible on iPhone 5 on up with iOS 8). That's the ability to take a really long video and compress it down to just a few seconds. You know, the kind of videos that show a building being constructed or a long highway trip from the dash-cam in just seconds. The new video option is accessed by opening the Camera app and swiping right to the end. You don't control the speed much—iOS tries to pick the perfect duration for you. So a 10-minute video might come out displaying 2 frames from every second, totaling 15x in speed; an 80-minute video might show only 1 frame every 4 seconds, or 120x. All output is made with the goal of a 15- to 40-second video clip suitable for sharing.
If you want some more control, stick with the free app HyperLapse, from Instagram, which gives you more speed control, from 1x to 12x, and now supports the front camera for time-lapsed selfies—a selfielapse. Or pay $4.99 for Frameographer, which adds the ability to do stop-motion video. Just make sure you've got space to take all the video.
Go Gray Fulltime
If you're colorblind, don't waste your beautiful iPhone screen showing millions of colors. Go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn on the Grayscale setting. Tell everyone it's "artsy."
When you do go gray, it's only on the screen. For example, any pictures you take, even screenshots of the "gray" screen, are still in full glorious color. The image above had to be edited with the built-in iOS photo-editing tools to show you what you get when monochromatic.
Quickly Adjust all Type
Hate the small font size on iOS? In version 8, go to Settings > Displays & Brightness > Text Size and use the slider to bump it up (or down, if you don't have bifocals) (shut up). Any app that uses the master fonts of the operating system will follow your choice.
Use iMessages like a Walkie-Talkie
Sorry, Voxer. iOS 8 users can now send audio over the Messages app, even to users who haven't yet upgraded to iOS 8. (Note that those older versions of the OS have to download the audio to play, so it takes longer to access, and of course they can't reply with audio.)
To send, click and hold the microphone icon next to the message box, record a quick message, then swipe up to send it (or swipe left to the X to delete and start over). By default, the audio messages are only stored for two minutes after they're played. Click the tiny "Keep" link under the audio player to keep the message stored. Go to Settings > Messages > Audio Messages-Expire to change that to "Never" to keep them all. (It might not say Never—it could say "30 days" or "one year," but that depends on your overall "Keep Messages" setting, found on the same screen.)
Send "Temporary" Videos
This two-minute auto-delete works for video you send via Messages, too—they now default auto-delete if you make them from the Message app by holding the camera icon. You can change this time limit at Settings > Messages > Video Messages. Remember, if you attach a pre-created video to a message it doesn't get auto-deleted. This isn't like Snapchat—the person at the other end of the message can save the video (or audio) if they want.
Interact with Notifications
You don't have to launch the full Messages app to reply to a message (text) if it came in on the lock screen via Notifications. Just swipe down and a reply box will appear. This interaction option works for a lot of items, from the calendar to email.
Check Apps for Battery Abuse
You've always been able to see which apps are using the most space on your iPhone. With iOS 8, the software will tell you which are hogging the battery as well. Go to Settings > General > Usage > Battery Usage for a listing of the power usurpers from the last 24 hours or the last 7 days.
Custom Keyboards Galore
Emojis is no longer the only extra keyboard worth installing. Third-party "plug-in" keyboards are now available for iOS, some paid (Fleksy and Swype, each $0.99, both famed for their "swipe don't type" approach), some free (SwiftKey, known for learning what you'll type plus a swipe-typing feature it named Flow). You turn them on after downloading by going to Settings > General > Keyboard > Keyboards > Add New Keyboard; you access them by clicking the globe key on the on-screen keyboard.
Also, keep in mind, Apple updated the iOS 8 integrated on-screen keyboard. Now dubbed QuickType, it supports predictive text, guessing what you'll type as you go, a lot like SwiftKey. Turn it on by holding down the globe key and toggling the switch marked Predictive. If you find the predictions annoying, swipe them down to minimize.
Share with the Family
Nothing is worse than sharing an Apple ID with family members, so you can all use the same apps—and having your kid/spouse/partner/Uncle Chester go nuts and spend a bunch of money on games and apps. People can lock that down now, but with iOS 8 you get a new option—share your apps, iBooks, and iTunes purchases with family members. Parents can even approve purchase made by kids (or Uncle Chester). Sharing extends to the calendar (track all those soccer games and orthodontist appointments—as a family), photos (create a true family album), and location check-ins. It'll also speed up finding lost iPhones and iPads.
One member of the household has to be the "organizer" (admin) of Family Sharing; it should be the person with the purse strings. The organizer can invite up to 5 other members—kids under 13 can now get an Apple ID so they can participate—then set up the permissions for other family members.
Remember, this is about sharing, not privacy. If you download something, everyone on your Family Sharing list gets a notification of what it was. For more, see How to Set Up Family Sharing in iOS 8.
New Swipes for Mail
The iOS Mail App now has new features when you swipe a message in the inbox. Move your finger right and you mark a message as read or unread, whatever is opposite its current status. Move your finger left to instantly trash a message, or flag it. Best of all, click More and you get a menu that includes a new feature: Notify Me. It'll bring up an iOS notification if that message thread gets a new reply. You can change what happens when you swipe by going to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Swipe Options.
New Notification Widgets
iOS notifications have never had the strength of Android's, but Apple is trying to loosen its notoriously tight grip. Now it supports widgets from select apps. You can get quick access to functions this way: Want to take a picture or make a note to store in Evernote from the lock screen? Access your current Kindle app novel? Check Buzzfeed or NYTimes articles? See your most recent Dropbox uploads? You can do all of that with Notification Widgets. To add them, swipe down to get Notifications, click Today at top, scroll down, and click Edit. Any widget options you have can be added or subtracted here; tap the three lines next to each and hold, then drag to re-order them.
But Apple isn't quite ready to give up control. It suspended Launcher, a quick launcher that gets you to some frequently accessed iOS features even faster, for a long six months. Now it's back and has more features than ever.
Use Password Managers as iOS App Extensions
We are big believers in password manager apps at PCMag. Apps such as 1Password and LastPass have long been available on iOS. In version 8, they're far more useful, as they're full App Extensions to Apple's Safari (the official iOS Web browser) and even have support in Google's Chrome browser. That means, rather than go to the password manager and copying a secure-but-gobbledygook password to paste into the browser or app, that ultra-strong secret word is auto-magically passed on to the browser. You can even use your iPhone 5s or 6's fingerprint sensor as your master password. Expect to see password-manager support to become an option in even more iOS apps in the future.
Add Tool Options
How do you get that password manager to pass on the goods? You need to add it to the tools options of the browser. When in Safari, for example, click the share icon (the box with the up-pointing arrow) and swipe the entire bottom row of tool icons (Copy, Add Bookmark, etc.) to the left. You'll see a More icon (three dots)—click it. Under Activities are options to turn on the password manager (or any other inactivated tools) for use by the browser.
This also works for sharing with other apps—that first row of icons. Swipe left until you get another More icon and you'll be able to activate all the apps that can work with whatever app you're in. Try all the different combos that work for you.
Access All Your Message Options
In any Messages conversation, click Details at the top. You now have the option to name the conversation (it doesn't have to just say "Group"), send all the conversation members your current location, activate a Do Not Disturb to mute notifications (you'll still receive the messages), and best of all, see a complete list of attachments. Save any pictures, video, or audio clips you didn't save before.
Take Full Camera Control
With iOS 8, Apple has given developers unprecedented access to the hardware inside, and that goes especially for the camera. Now, third-party apps like Camera+ (pictured above), Manual ($1.99), ProCamera 8 ($3.99), and others offer a slew of D-SLR-like manual shooting modes. It's the pro control the pros really want. Shutter speed, aperture, ISO, it's all user controllable. iOS devices are no longer just point-and-shoot cameras; but we still don't think you should use a full-size iPad as your primary camera.
Quick Add Email Contacts
Got a message from someone who isn't in your contacts list? The iOS email app makes that info easy to capture. At the top of the message, the app displays the address and phone number, if available, with a button to ignore it or Add to Contacts.
The Spotlight search has a few new tricks in iOS 8. Remember, you access it by touching anywhere on the home screen and swiping your finger down (if you swipe from above the screen, you get the Notifications window). When you search with Spotlight, you are looking inside anything you have marked off in Settings > General > Spotlight Search. (If you want to be tracked less by Apple and its partners, toggle off "Spotlight Suggestions" and "Bing Web Results.") New this iteration to Spotlight: a quick Wikipedia search (which defaults to the site, rather than the app, but oh well.)
Blank the Home Screen
You can have up to 15 pages of apps on the modern iPhone (though with folders, that would be ridiculous... right?) If you are more of a minimalist, you can make the first page totally blank in iOS 8. Simply move all the apps over one page (you know how: hold down an app icon, and when they start jiggling, start dragging them to the right). You'll need to leave at least one app in the menu bar tray, but otherwise, the first page will be empty except for the beautiful wallpaper. (Image and tip via Lifehacker.)
Subscribe to Websites in Safari
There's a Bookmarks button on the bottom of the screen in Safari. Click it, and you'll see icons at the top—click the @ for the Shared Links. This will show you sites you're "subscribed" to. Mine showed my Twitter feed, simply because I have my Twitter account linked—you see what's linked by clicking Subscriptions at the bottom. Here's the trick: when visiting a page with content that is subscribe-able (that is, it has an easy-to-find RSS feed), go to that same page and click "Add Current Site" at the bottom. It's another option to find and read content later.
Enhanced Notes
The built-in Notes app is nothing special, but it's special-er in iOS 8. Now it supports rich text (bold, italics, and underline) and images—including animated GIFs—and videos.
DuckDuckGo Option
Apple used to be friends with Google and used its search engine by default. That's not the case anymore—now Apple is "friends" with Microsoft and uses Bing. Both of those search engines like to track your every move, so if you're into some extra privacy, try the latest option for search in the Safari browser: DuckDuckGo, "the search engine that doesn't track you." Go to Settings > Safari > SearchEngine to make the switch.
Find Your Phone's Final Resting Place
You better have activated Find My iPhone by now (even if you use an iPad). It's the best way to find a lost or stolen iOS device. With iOS 8, there's a new feature, which is important if your missing device battery was close to dead at the time it went missing. Go to Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone and turn on "Send Last Location." That way you can always find the phone's last ping, even after it's gone dormant—or at least where it was when the battery was "critically low," which on an iPhone could be 20 percent.

Getting to Monte Carlo is easy, as the city is well connected to neighbouring French cities, such as Nice, where a busy international airport with links across the globe resides. Those with cash to splash may like to arrive by helicopter direct from Nice's airport, rather than travel by taxi or use bus transport. Hiring a sports car is another outlandish way to travel, but be warned that parking can be hard to find in Monte Carlo.
Once in the city, it is straightforward to travel between sights using taxis as your preferred mode of transport. There is also a useful bus network, which runs to all the major tourist attractions, along with a train line connecting Monaco with France and Italy, stopping at a few destinations within the principality along the way.
Nice Côte-d'Azur International Airport in France is the main gateway for visitors to Monte Carlo. This busy airport is equipped with modern facilities and serves connections with major European capitals as well as Los Angeles.
From the airport, passengers can travel into central Monte Carlo by Rapide Cote d'Azur bus directly from the terminal, or by using taxi transport. Taxis are more expensive than the bus, but do offer greater convenience. Of course, if money is no object then you can make the final leg of your journey from Nice's airport to Monte Carlo by helicopter.
It is possible to rent a car at France's Nice Côte-d'Azur International Airport or in Monte Carlo itself, but there is little need for a car once you arrive. The principality's road network is first-class and visitors will have few problems following the well-signed roads as they travel, although parking often presents a problem.
The A8 is the main road into Monaco from France and Italy, yet there are a number of more scenic coastal routes available for those with time on their hands. Speciality car rentals are a unique aspect of vehicle hire in Monte Carlo, with many visitors splashing out to hire a sports car or a convertible for the length of their stay, ensuring they arrive at the casino in style.

Monte Carlo does not have a central bus station. However, Rapide Cote d'Azur bus transport from Nice does stop here roughly every hour. This service is convenient for visitors on a budget, although isn't popular with the largely affluent set of visitors that frequent this stylish city. Within the city, the Compagnie des Autobus Monaco runs five bus lines daily from 06:00 to 21:00.
Train transport connects Monte Carlo with other cities along the French Riviera, including Cannes and Nice, as well as Ventimiglia in Italy. TGV trains are the fastest travel option, although a choice of further trains run up to four times an hour. There are a handful of train stations within the principality if you want to explore beyond Monte Carlo proper.
Taxis are available in the city and operate according to meters. They can be found at the city's taxi stands (Avenue de Monte Carlo and the railway station) or outside luxury hotels. Local taxis can also be hailed on the street or ordered by telephone.


Hide-and-go-seek brought to light. The versatile Find Me is a tiny semi-recessed downlight hidden in the ceiling until otherwise sought. With a simple pull, the downlight can extend below the ceiling and transform into a refined cylindrical monopoint. This diminutive yet powerful luminaire is endlessly versatile and can tilt 70 degrees and rotate 360 degrees. Deep matte black snoot maximizes cut off and reduces glare. The Find Me line is available as a single small and big version, as a dual-head trimless multiple, and as a pendant. The Mono Point version is supplied with a frame, which should be fitted to the product if a Trim version is required, or without, if a Trimless version is required.


WINNIPEG — Week 12 has come to a close but the fun is just beginning late on a Sunday in the CFL.
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers announced that they have acquired draft picks and DB TJ Heath from Toronto for quarterback Drew Willy while sending a pick of their own to the Montreal Alouettes for Kevin Glenn.
Willy first landed in the CFL in 2012 as a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, making his first career start that September in a 28-17 loss to the Montreal Alouettes.
After serving as a backup to Darian Durant the rest of that season and throughout 2013, winning a Grey Cup on home turf with Saskatchewan, he was acquired by rookie Head Coach Mike O'Shea and the Bombers to become their starting quarterback.
He played his best football at the start of the 2015 season, guiding the Bombers to a winning record and throwing eight touchdown passes and three interceptions before suffering a knee injury that would sideline him the remainder of the season.
Two quarterbacks on the move but three teams heavily impacted by Sunday's trades. How does this all shake down?
A 6-foot-4, 220-pound Buffalo Bulls alum, Willy failed to regain that form at the start of the 2016 in the wake of an off-season full of hype and high expectations in the Manitoba capital. The 29-year-old was benched following a 1-4 start, while the Bombers have won six straight with Matt Nichols at the helm and now sit third in the West Division with a 7-4 record.
Heath (6-0, 190, Jacksonville State, September 11, 1987 in Alexandria, AL) is in his first CFL season, having played in ten games (nine starts) at halfback for Toronto. Heath has recorded a team-high five interceptions and 37 defensive tackles with the Argos. His five interceptions are tied for the league lead with Bombers linebacker Maurice Leggett.
Heath signed with Toronto in May 2016 after stints in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills, Cleveland Browns, Miami Dolphins and New York Giants over the last five seasons. In four seasons at Jacksonville State, he had 145 tackles, 17.5 tackles for a loss, 10 interceptions (three of which were returned for touchdowns), three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, two blocked kicks and 25 pass breakups.
Glenn (5-10, 205, Illinois State, June 12, 1979 in Detroit, MI) is a veteran of 16 CFL seasons. He has started nine games with Montreal this season, completing 222 of his 314 passes for 2,547 yards and 13 touchdowns. Throughout his career, Glenn has played 250 games, throwing for 48,766 yards and 270 touchdowns. He has led two teams to Grey Cup appearances, including one with Winnipeg in 2007.
Glenn sits third on the Bombers all-time passing yardage list at 18,116 and fifth on the club's all-time passing touchdowns list. He led the club in passing for five straight seasons (2004-2008), and was the East Division Most Outstanding Player in 2007.

Title: Single shot laser ablation MC-ICP-MS for depth profile analysis of U isotopes in UO2 single crystals
Authors: KRACHLER MICHAEL; BULGHERONI ANTONIO; MARTINEZ FERRI ANA; MA YUE; MIARD AUDREY; GARCIA PHILLIPE
Citation: JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL ATOMIC SPECTROMETRY vol. 34 no. 10 p. 1965 - 1974

Type: Articles in periodicals and books
Abstract: An analytical procedure for the determination of the n(235U)/n(238U) ratio in consecutive layers of UO2 single crystals was developed and validated. A circular 25 µm laser beam and a fluence of only 0.2 J cm-2 were employed for depth profiling of UO2 single crystals with U isotopes being detected via MC-ICP-MS. The time-resolved 235U and 238U MC-ICP-MS signals obtained from individual laser shots were evaluated automatically with a home-made software. Downhole fractionation of the n(235U)/n(238U) ratio was excluded by shooting 80 laser pulses on a reference UO2 single crystal of known composition (N=5), revealing no measurable change in its U isotopic ratio during depth profiling. A linear relationship between the number of laser shots and the average depth of the generated laser ablation craters was established employing confocal laser scanning profilometry. After ~50 laser shots this relationship flattened and surface roughness of the crater bottoms increased noticeably at the same time. The employed ns-laser ablation system produced conical craters with their corresponding crater diameters expanding with increasing number of laser pulses. Using a dual beam focused ion beam (FIB), high resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM) micrographs revealed the formation of rectangular "tiles" on the reference UO2 single crystal already after five laser shots. The ordered, rectangular structure was disappearing progressively with increasing number of laser pulses, while simultaneously the sub-micrometric porosity amplified, leading to a sombrero-like crater profile. The depth profiling capabilities of the laser ablation system were applied to two UO2 single crystals produced under different experimental conditions. Both featured a n(235U)/n(238U) ratio gradient, containing enriched U at the surface and depleted U in the bulk. As such, the variable diffusion behaviour of 235U into the UO2 single crystals was studied systematically. The laser ablation rate varied distinctly between the two UO2 single crystals, i.e. ~7.5 nm and ~13 nm, requiring individual depth calibration for each material.

Q: Git change the repo path of a subfolder I've got a git structure like the following:
/web_app
-- /static
-- /templates
-- app.py

Having this, when i push to my repo, its pushed following exactly that folder structure, but what I want in the repo is this structure:
/web_app
--  /web
    -- /static
    -- /template
-- app.py

So what I want to do is somehow, from my folder in my pc push the folders /static and /templates into /web/ in repo, and when pulling or clonning, keep the original folder structure.
I've been searching trough docs for submodules and subtrees but either I didn't understand well how they work or they don't satisfy my necessities.
So, Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!

A: My first recommendation is to download the git cheat sheet and keep it handy on your desktop.
The command to accomplish what you want to do is git mv <source> <destination>. in the shell. The documentation for the command states that it will work on directories.
In your case, this means, from the /web_app directory, you should make your "web" directory:
md web

Then you should move your directories
git mv ./static ./web/static
git mv ./template ./web/template

A: What I finnally did was the following:
I created a new Repo, and with git submodule modularized /web.
It solves my problem, but for real problem I posted, check M. K. Hunter option

1. Get prompt medical treatment and follow-up care. The value of your personal injury case is directly related to the amount and type of medical treatment you receive, as well as the seriousness of your injuries. It is important to get medical treatment right away after your accident. Do not delay treatment! If there is a delay in treatment, or substantial gaps in treatment, the insurance company will try to minimize the amount they have to pay. For this reason, it is important to have an experienced lawyer who understands traumatic injuries and the types of medical treatment and diagnostic testing needed to treat and prove your injuries.
2. Not all insurance companies are the same. Some insurance companies are more difficult to deal with than others. While some insurance companies may try to deal fairly with you, other companies will only offer "lowball" settlements, even if there is clear fault and undeniable injuries. With these types of difficult companies, you almost always have to file a lawsuit to force them to pay fair compensation. An experienced personal injury attorney should have good litigation skills and trial experience to protect your interests when dealing with companies making lowball offers. Please see our article on "Seven Excuses Insurance Companies Use" to see how insurance companies try to avoid paying in full on claims.
3. Most personal injury attorneys accept cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not have to pay any money out of pocket to hire an attorney if you have been injured in a car accident, or at work, or through the negligence of another person. In a "contingent fee" case, we only get paid if you win. The fee is a percentage of the money you actually recover by verdict or settlement, usually 1/3 of the recovery in civil cases, and a lesser percentage (20%) in Worker's Compensation cases. If there is no recovery, then you do not owe us anything.
At the Law Offices of John J. LaCava, we have handled all types of accident and personal injury claims and have won substantial verdicts for our clients... and we know how to deal with difficult insurance companies.

Q: How does a blade server differ from a normal rackmount server? This may be a question but I thought I would ask even so.

A: A blade server can be considered a rack-mount server that has a variable number of actual servers within it.  When you buy a rack-mount server, you are buying a single server.  A blade can be expanded as you get more money, buying additional blades without requiring more rack space.  For some uses, this gives you flexibility.
A blade takes several "U" of rack space.  One blade server we have can host up to eight blades, and I believe it's a 4-U rack-mount box.  Thus, blade servers are often higher density than traditional rack-mount servers.
Before you install a bunch of blade servers, ensure that you have the cooling and electrical ability to handle them.

A: Blade servers are high density boxes. In addition to typical rack servers, they may contain additional management tools. Also, blade servers are highly modular allowing for the substitution of individual blades (CPU, memory, controlers, etc). Additionally, some blade servers run with disks on back-end SANS.

A: With blade you'll generally find as many management functions as possible are centralised so that multiple blades can be dealt with via a single interface (see HP's Onboard Administrators/iLO) for this.
Also, generally, a blade server will offer better power/heat characteristics than a pizza-box servers.
Also of very great importance is the lack of traditional internal PCI/PCIe adapter although many blades have their own proprietary adapter mechanism to allow for lightly-modified PCIe adapters to be created to fit inside. For instance Emulex and QLogic both make manufacturer-specific FC HBAs that fit inside IBM, HP and Dell's blades.
I'm more than happy to help you with any other questions, just ask.

A: In my past experience we found networking limitations in using blades in high availability database configurations such as with Oracle RAC. While blades work great in many situations you need to verify if they are best for all with your database and system architects. Not doing so caused major issues with a former employeer where the assumption for a new secondary data center would only use blades.

A: Blade servers are small, high-density, low form-factor computers, designed for maximum power in a small space.
A blade server is mounted within a chassis, and the chassis typically takes on a lot of functions and parts that were previously done by the individual host. The chassis itself will hold the power supplies (resulting in less wasted power from conversion), the fibre-channel cards, the network controllers, SCSI interfaces, and so on. The servers themselves contain only the non-unique parts – CPU, RAM, and hard drive.
The benefits are that you can pack far more computing power into a rack, you have homogenous hardware, and your management is simpler. Instead of monitoring two power supplies, NICs, etc. per server, you only have to watch one set of hardware. Because your hardware is homogenous, you can keep spare parts around without worrying about which model of power supply you need, and so on.
The downsides are the up-front costs. Because you need to buy the (very expensive) chassis, it's cost-ineffective to start with one blade and work your way up. You would typically buy blade servers if you plan on buying a large number of servers at once. Otherwise, the initial up-front cost is excessive.

Q: Artifactory web page is unaccessible Artifactory has been installed on a RHEL 6.2 machine using RPM, but I couldn't connect to the Artifactory webpage using the link http://<server-ip>:8081/artifactory
When I use curl http://localhost:8081/artifactory on the same machine, it doesnt show up any error.
Later in the day, realized, there is no Apache on this machine. So installed Apache on the yum repository and followed the instructions for Running Behind HTTP Server and configured the httpd.conf file under /etc/httpd/conf with below configuration
<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName <server-ip>
        ServerAlias <server-ip>
        ServerAdmin <email-address>

        ProxyPreserveHost on
        ProxyPass /artifactory/ http://localhost:8081/artifactory/
        ProxyPassReverse /artifactory/ http://<server-ip>:8081/artifactory/

#       DocumentRoot /srv/www/httpd/htdocs/

        ErrorLog "logs/artifactory-error_log"
        #CustomLog
#       ServerSignature Off

But still couldn't connect to the Artifactory webpage. What does Document Root refer to, I do not have this directory on my machine.
Do I install Apache first before installing Artifactory or my installations should not be a problem.

A: First, lets put aside the small things.
 1. You don't have to install apache to work with Artifactory, it should work just fine without it.
 2. DocumentRoot is a mandatory element but useless when Apache is used as a proxy for Tomcat, so it can point to any path (doesn't' have to actually exist).
Now, to the business. When you see a blank page instead of Artifactory home page, it usually means that something went wrong during the install. You should look in the logs (both /var/opt/jfrog/artifactory/logs/artifactory.log and Tomcat logs (catalina.out and localhost.log) in /opt/jfrog/artifactory/tomcat/logs. Chances are you'll be able to easily spot the error (ports conflict, permissions issue, etc.) if not, please update the question with the relevant log parts.
