|[jira] [Commented] (DERBY-5955) Prepare Derby to run with Compact Profiles (JEP 161)
|Fri, 01 Feb 2013 13:32:13 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5955?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13568737#comment-13568737 ] Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-5955: -------------------------------------- Thanks, Dag. These changes look good. One additional refinement might be possible: In the overview page for the JDBC4 version of org.apache.derby.jdbc, the summaries for the old datasources are formatted oddly and contain too much information. I believe this is caused by the fact that the summary table is generated by the javadoc tool. For each class it makes a summary comment consisting of everything in the class header comment up to the first period. I think the summaries for these classes would look more like the summaries for the other classes if the first period were put after the phrase "full Java SE 8". Then there's the odd formatting of the list which is included in the summary comment: the two lines of the list are appended and it's hard to parse sense out of the result. I don't know how to get a readable summary line and preserve the original list. You might consider collapsing the list into the preceding sentence in order to make the summary more readable.

TAMPA, Fla. -- If it seems like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can put anyone at running back and have success, there's a reason for it.
"They have a great coach in that room,'' guard Davin Joseph said. "[Running backs coach Earnest] Byner, he's awesome. You really see how he prepares those guys and gets them ready for the game and really how he's committed to them and their success. You plug guys in and they just take off, that's just really a reflection on how good of a coach he really is. It's good to have a guy like that on your staff."
Byner has been an unsung hero for the Bucs. The team lost starter Doug Martin to a shoulder injury. But rookie Mike James stepped right in and performed well.
In Monday night's victory against Miami, James suffered a fractured ankle early in the game. Brian Leonard and Bobby Rainey stepped in and had success.
Tampa Bay's coaching staff has taken all sorts of heat during a 1-8 start. But it's time to give at least one member of the coaching staff some praise. Despite all the injuries, Byner keeps getting his running backs ready to play.

AN: this is a rewrite of my previous story with the same title.
Summery: AU, after the DOM, Harry is well and truly pissed. He learns that he is the only one capable to defeating Voldemort once and for all. Only he decides that he is not going to fight for the Wizarding world after they keep turning their backs on him at the drop of a hat. Instead; he's fighting this war for himself and he's doing it his way. With his heart shut down and his mind taking over, Harry decides that if you have the Dark Mark then you're GUILTY.
Very dark Harry; Pairings to be decided; oh Yeh I own nothing but the plot and any OC's, I make no money from this (sadly) this is J.K.R's world and I'm only playing in it; Now on with the first chapter.
The lost Prophecy
"Crucio." Harry Potter shouted as he jumped out from behind the statue he was hiding behind in the Ministry Atrium. His first ever unforgivable curse found its mark as Bellatrix Lestrange fell to the floor screaming in pain; however, the screams did not last long and she lay panting and the floor looking up at Harry.
"Never used an unforgivable curse before, have you, boy?" Bellatrix laughed completely abandoning her baby voice. "You need to mean them, Potter! You need to really want to cause pain – to enjoy it – righteous anger won't hurt me for long." She taunted thinking that Dumbledore's pet golden boy would not ever want to really cause pain.
However, something snapped inside Harry. He felt the hate he felt for her, his Godfather's killer begin to fill him up inside. The hate he felt for Snape for the Occlumency lesson's in which he attacked and tortured his mind without mercy. The hate he felt for Wormtail for betraying him and his parents to Voldemort all those years ago. And he felt the hate he felt towards Voldemort for the murder of his parents. For what seemed an eternity, but was really only twenty seconds, Harry felt pure hate filling his insides before his eyes snapped open.
Bellatrix was smiling sickly as she watched Potter from her position on the floor. His eyes were closed and his face a mask of pain and hate. However, seconds later his eyes snapped open and she gasped as she got a glimpse off his eyes; normally a bright and vibrant emerald green, Potter's eyes were now a dark almost black green.
"CRUCIO." Harry roared at the top of his lungs pouring all his hate into the curse. This time Bellatrix did scream and wither on the ground.
Bellatrix screamed for all she was worth. The pain was unbearable, her nerves felt like they were on fire as did her very bones. Her head felt like it had been split open in ten different places, her skin felt like a thousand white hot knives were piercing her over and over. The pain was so absolute, that the Dark Lord's paled in comparison. Just when she thought she must surely lose her mind to insanity, the curse was lifted.
Harry ended the curse panting slightly; never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that causing someone else unbelievable pain and listening to them scream would give him such a thrill. It chilled him for a split second but then he remembered her sick crimes. Killing not just his Godfather but countless others, torturing the Longbottom's into insanity he knew she deserved it and more.
As he was thinking what to do with the sick bitch next, his scar began prickling as a cold voice began whispering in his head.
"That's it Harry, she killed him, she deserves it! She deserves to die." Said a voice in his head. "You know the spell Harry." Just as he was about to utter the worst unforgivable of them all, his scar exploded in pain and he dropped to his knees, his wand falling from his grasp as he held his head in his hands.
"MASTER, I TRIED, I TRIED, DO NOT PUNISH ME." Came Bellatrix's loud voice through the pain in his scar.
"Don't waste your breath!" Yelled Harry through the pain, his eyes screwed up. "He can't hear you from here!"
"Can't I, Potter?" Hissed the high cold voice of nightmares.
Harry opened his eyes and looked up.
Tall, thin and black hooded, his terrible snakelike face white and gaunt, his scarlet, slit-pupilled eyes staring… Lord Voldemort had appeared in the middle of the hall, his wand pointing at Harry, who froze at the sight where he was on the floor on his hands and knees, unable to move.
"So you smashed my Prophecy?" Voldemort softly spoke, staring at Harry with those pitiless red eyes. "No Bella, he is not lying… I see the truth looking at me from within his worthless mind… months of preparation, months of effort… and my Death Eaters have let Harry Potter thwart me again…"
"Master, I am sorry, I knew not, I was fighting the Animagus Black!" sobbed Bellatrix, flinging herself down at Voldemort's feet as he slowly paced nearer. "Master, you should know-"
"Be quiet, Bella," Snarled Voldemort dangerously. "I shall deal with you in a moment. Do you think I have entered the ministry of magic to hear your snivelling apologies?"
"I have nothing more to say to you, Potter." He said quietly as he turned his attention to the boy before him, the bane of his existence. "You have irked me too often, for too long. Goodbye, Harry Potter." But before he could utter another word a fireplace to the right of them roared to life and out strode the Headmaster.
"Dumbledore!" Breathed Voldemort as he glared at the aged wizard.
"It was foolish of you to come here tonight, Tom." Dumbledore calmly spoke as one might when greeting an old friend. "The Auror's are on their way –"
"By which time I shall be gone, and you shall be dead!" Voldemort spat before he launched a killing curse at Dumbledore, who turned and was gone in a whirling of his cloak. Next second he reappeared in front of Harry, before sending his own curse at Voldemort, who also vanished on the spot only to reaper a metre from where he last stood, Dumbledore's curse sailing harmlessly by.
Bellatrix tried to get a cheep shot on Dumbledore, as he was concentrating on the Dark Lord; however, everyone seemed to have forgotten about Harry, with the appearance of the Headmaster. As Dumbledore blocked both Voldemort's and Bellatrix's spells, Harry sprang to his feet, and began launching a volley of spells and curses at Bellatrix, leaving Voldemort and Dumbledore to battle it out.
"Stupefy" "Diffindo" "Expelliarmus" "Petrificus Totalus" "Reducto" Harry's wand spat out spells one after the other, but Bellatrix was not one of Voldemort's top followers for nothing, as she dodged and shielded against Harry's volley before returning her own.
"Confringo" "Crucio" "Expulso" "Avis" "Oppugno" Bellatrix didn't dare fire the killing curse at Harry, the Dark Lord had made it clear to all his Death Eaters, that Potter was his to kill, and his alone. However, Harry was not the youngest seeker in a century and leader of the DA for nothing, as he blocked the first blasting hex, dodged the Cruciatus, Shielded against the second blasting hex, before slashing his wand at the attacking ravens.
As Harry and Bellatrix were flinging spells, curses and hexes back and forth, Voldemort and Dumbledore we doing the same on the other side of the Atrium. Only their duel was faster, more deadly and a lot more awe inspiring and impressive.
Voldemort vanished once more to dodge Dumbledore's stream of spells, only to reappear seconds later next to the magical fountain, not fifty feet from where Bellatrix and Harry were battling, but he paid them no heed as Dumbledore launched another curse at him, which he easily swatted aside.
"Avada Kedavra." Shouted Voldemort with glee, his aim was true, the deadly curse would strike the Headmaster in the chest. However, a flash of flames appeared in front of the green jet, before Fawkes the Phoenix swallowed the Curse, bursting into flames seconds later. Voldemort snarled in anger as his chance to kill Dumbledore was snatched from his very finger tips, before he once more locked in battle against the aged headmaster.
None of the four combatants noticed that the members of the Order of the Phoenix and the five DA members, who had come to the Ministry, were standing in front of the golden gates, watching the two duels. Remus Lupin wanted to go help Harry against the deranged woman, but was afraid Harry would think him a Death Eater and curse him by mistake. All the members of the Order were awed at the two duels. With Harry and Bellatrix's duel, they were more impressed that a fifteen year old wizard could hold his own against one of Voldemort's top followers.
However, they were more awed with the magic of Voldemort's and the headmasters duel. Both wizards with sporting visible Aura's, Voldemort a jet-black one, while Dumbledore's was pure white with flecks of gold at the edges, the floor where they stood becoming red hot and cracking with the amount of magic pouring from the two enemies. Both wizards were flinging some very powerful and deadly spells at each other in a seamlessly endless stream.
Ten minutes into the duel, the Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge, Head of the department of Magical Law enforcement Amelia Bones and around ten Auror were spat out of the fireplaces, only for them to freeze where they stood. In front of them was proof of what Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore had been telling them for a year. Lord Voldemort was back and was at that moment battling against the Headmaster, whilst Harry battled Bellatrix Lestrange.
"He's back." Thought Fudge as he stared wide eyed at the two duels. Seconds later, the Aurors and the Order members sprang into action at the same time. Half the Auror's and Order fired at Bellatrix, while the other half fired at Voldemort.
"Stupefy." around fifteen jets of red light shot at the Dark Lord; however, he slashed his wand at them batting every one of them away like flies before he vanished once more.
"Stupefy." Bellatrix was no Voldemort and the fifteen curses thrown at her struck her in the chest, sending her flying across the Atrium, before she crashed unconscious into the ground. The Auror's and Order members thought they had finally caught the escaped witch, but seconds after she landed, Voldemort appeared at her side grabbing her robe before they both vanished for the last time that night.
Harry dropped to his knees panting heavily; he face was slick with sweat. He had numerous cuts and bruises all over his arms and torso. And he had never had to use so much magic, so fast in his five years of being in the Wizarding world, when he and his friends had battled the Death Eaters down below, he had mainly been running with the others, only occasionally throwing a curse at the Death Eaters, he had been more interested in getting the others out of there alive than he was in battling Death Eaters.
"Harry?" Came Dumbledore's slightly winded voice from above him, looking up; Harry found the headmaster bent over him holding a bar of metal in his hand. "Take this it will get you back to Hogwarts."
As the nights events caught up with him, Harry began to feel the loss of his Godfather, so he took the bar without question. Seconds later he felt the tug behind his navel as he was pulled along in a whirlwind of colours via the Portkey. He reappeared in the Headmaster's office at Hogwarts. He let the metal bar fall nosily from his hand as he stared at nothing for a moment. He then walked towards the office door, intending to leave and be on his own; however, the door was locked and would not budge no matter how hard he tried.
Harry paced around the office for what seemed forever but was only twenty minutes before the fireplace roared to life and Dumbledore came walking gracefully out before he took a seat behind his desk, placing the baby Fawkes in front of him, under the unblinking stare of Harry.
"Now that you're finally here, you can let me out of this damn office." Harry said in hard voice.
"I'm afraid I cannot do that Harry." began Dumbledore gently. "We have much to discuss before the night is over."
"You have ignored me all year; I don't give two flying fucks about what you've got to say." Harry said as he glared at the Headmaster.
"You will." Dumbledore stated simply, calmly.
"NO I WON'T, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE, AND I'VE SEEN ENOUGH, I WANT OUT." Harry roared at the Headmaster and he seized the delicate silver instrument from the spindle-legged table beside him and flung it across the room; it shattered into a hundred tiny pieces against the wall. Several of the pictures let out yells of anger and fright, and the picture of Armando Dippet said, "Really!"
"I DON'T CARE!" Harry screamed at the picture before picking up a lunascope and throwing it into the fireplace. "LET ME OUT, I DON'T CARE FOR THIS WAR ANYMORE." However, Dumbledore did not open the door, so Harry whipped out his wand and sent a dozen blasting hexes at it. When he was finished, he was enraged to find the door still intact with not a mark on it, the headmaster had made no move to stop him.
"Harry please sit down." Dumbledore asked quietly, Harry seeing no other option at the moment sat, however the glare in which he looked at the Headmaster with would have had Snape green with envy.
"When you've had your say, I'm outta here." Harry stated before Dumbledore could say another word.
"Very well." Dumbledore murmured with a slight nod. "Harry I think it is time that I told you everything" he said quietly, Harry however said nothing. Dumbledore took a deep breath before he went on.
"Before you were born a Prophecy was made, it said… "The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches… Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the month dies… and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not… and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives … the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…"
"You were born at the end of the seventh month, July." Dumbledore began again after a few minutes silence. "When Voldemort hit you with the Killing curse and left that scar on your forehead, he marked you as his equal."
"I'm the only one able to defeat him?" Harry asked, at Dumbledore's nod he went on. "You have known about this since for fourteen years?" Another nod and Harry exploded with rage.
"AND YOU NEVER THOUGHT TO INFORM ME ABOUT IT." He shouted as he sprang up from his chair. "I HAVE TO DESTROY THE MOST FEARED DARK LORD IN HISTORY AND YOU NEVER GAVE ME ANY TRAINING IN WHICH TO ACCOMPLISH IT."
"I wished for you to have a childhood without this burden on your shoulders." Dumbledore said calmly in the face of Harry's rage.
"FOOL, I'VE NEVER HAD A CHILDHOOD, FIRST WITH BEING THE DURSLEYS SLAVE, THEN WITH BEING A HERO ONE MINUTE AND A VILLAIN THE NEXT, WHERE WAS THIS CHILDHOOD? BECAUSE I SEEMED TO HAVE MISSED IT." Harry roared at the headmaster, panting slightly in his rage.
"I did what I could at the time when I placed you with the Dursleys." Dumbledore began in that still calm voice. "Living with your aunt was the safest place on earth for you."
"Even though I was never loved, beaten and nearly starved?" Harry asked in a hard voice.
"You where still protected from any rogue Death Eaters, three times the wards stopped a Death Eater from attacking your home." Dumbledore explained in hope's to make Harry understand and see that he did what he did for the greater good.
"Are you even sorry for the first ten years of my life?" Harry asked knowing the answer would decide how he handled the fact that he was to stop Voldemort.
"I am sorry for how you were treated but not sorry for the fact that you were safe." Dumbledore answered softly, as Harry nodded slowly.
"Would you place me there again if you could do it over?" Harry asked slowly.
"Yes." Answered Dumbledore softly, simply. For five minutes neither wizard spoke as they stared at each other. One set of eyes sad and caring, the other defiant and angry.
"Let me out now." Harry said quietly as he came to his decision.
"Harry we still have to talk a bit more." Dumbledore replied.
"Let. Me. out." Harry repeated through clenched teeth.
"Very well." Dumbledore sighed knowing he would accomplish nothing by denying Harry, except to push him further away. The door slowly opened and Harry walked towards it. He stopped halfway through the door.
"I'll fight this war without you." He said not looking at the headmaster.
"Your inaction to help train me has most likely doomed the Wizarding world." He began still not looking at the Headmaster. "It's up to me to train and stop Voldemort, you had your war against Grindelwald, this is my war and I will fight it my way, you try to get in my way or stop me and I'll consider you an enemy." With that he left the office completely, leaving behind a stunned to his core Headmaster
After stepping off spiral staircase, Harry made his way towards Gryffindor common room, as he walked he was deep in thought about the upcoming war that he was determined to fight his way. He gave the password to a sleeping Fat-lady before he climbed into the common room, and made his way over to the boy's staircase. After reaching his dormitory, Harry walked over to the bathroom stripping his clothes off as he did. After taking a long hot shower, cleaning his cuts and soothing the bruises, he put on a clean pair of boxers, before falling into his bed.
Only one thought came to his mind before he dropped into a deep dreamless sleep. "If someone has the Dark Mark, then they are guilty and a plague on this earth and must be dealt with permanently, going to Azkaban did not work anymore." With that Harry was out like a light, asleep. Earlier that night, Harry Potter's heart had died with his Godfather Sirius Black and now his mind was taking over.
End of chapter.
Well there you go my revamped first chapter of this story. What do you think? Was it better than the first one I posted? Any ideas for Pairings? NOT Harry/Ginny as I can't stand the fan girl and Not Hermione either as she's too bossy for the Harry of this story. And sorry not Harry/Daphne Greengrass either as that is the main pairing of another story of mine. Please review…

In just a few weeks, we'll also be headlining the Great American Music Hall. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We broke the top 100 on the CMJ and SubModern album charts a few weeks ago. Nice.

Soon after we launched a radio campaign in support of the record, performed at Verizon Wireless' Super Bowl City event, played a sold-out show at Neck of the Woods, and debuted a music video with SF Weekly. Nice.

Entenmann's makes the best cake donut, hands down. My personal favorite is the cinnamon powdered donut (so yummy). I first encountered them in New England, so I was very happy to find them when I moved back south. I am pleased to see that for the third year in a row they are partnering with The Salvation Army and and this year's spokesperson, Victor Cruz to promote National Donut Day.
Entenmann's and The Salvation Army get ready to tackle the 76th National Donut Day (#NationalDonutDay) on Friday, June 7th, 2013. One of Entenmann's most recognized donut fans, Super Bowl Champion and New Jersey native Victor Cruz is helping to spread the word about this delicious holiday.
"I grew up on Entenmann's donuts right across the river in New Jersey and to this day always have a box of Entenmann's Crumb Topped donuts in the house," said Victor Cruz, celebrity ambassador for Entenmann's. "It really is an honor to be recognized as such a big Entenmann's fan, while honoring The Salvation Army on their very special day."
For every new "Like" on Entenmann's Facebook page from May 1st to June 15th the company will donate $1 to The Salvation Army, up to $30,000. While you are there, you can also enter to win 'Free Donuts for a Year' and additional prizes. All entries must be received by 11:59: p.m. ET on June 30, 2013. Official Rules can be found at www.entenmanns.com.
- The Salvation Army started National Donut Day during the Great Depression to raise needed funds.
- National Donut Day commemorates the "donut lassies," female Salvation Army volunteers who provided writing supplies, stamps, clothes-mending and home-cooked meals, and of course, donuts, for soldiers on the front lines.
- Approximately 250 Salvation Army volunteers provided assistance to American soldiers in France starting in 1917 during WWI.
- The Salvation Army's Ensign Margaret Sheldon and Adjutant Helen Purviance cleverly thought of frying donuts in soldiers' helmets (with limited resources, they were fried only seven at a time!).
- Last year, 30 million Americans received assistance from The Salvation Army.

The game will be the first in the Halo series not to have been created by Bungie Studios. After the developer and Microsoft parted ways in 2007, Microsoft created 343 Industries, which will be behind Halo 4. The Halo games can only be played on Xbox consoles. Microsoft has sold more than 40 million games in the franchise since its creation.

Nearly 18 years ago, in Cameroon, someone nonchalantly gave me sugar cane to gnaw on. I clearly remember my amazement over the sweet juices oozing out of what looked like a stalk of bamboo. Having never spent much time wondering where sugar or any of my other food came from, it was an eye opening moment.
Of course, when I tried to recreate that moment for my children it seemed to fall flat. They were extremely excited to try it, evening dancing around the house with the cane and singing songs in it's honor. But when the moment of truth came, they were a little disappointed by how much work it took to extract the juices. Lazy buggers.
If you cross paths with a piece of sugar cane and want to try it out, here's what you do:
1. Wash the cane. Cut off a couple inches at each end.
2. Score the hard outer layer of the cane with a serrated knife. I found it easiest to use the part of the knife closest to my hand for more leverage and pulling toward me when sawing action was required.
3. After the outer layer is cut all the way around it should be easy to cut or break the piece of cane off.
4. Stand the piece on end and cut off the outer layer.
5. If desired, cut the cane into smaller strips or chunks. Serve along with instructions that the cane is to be chewed and sucked on but not swallowed. I did a quick demo for my kids before they dove in.
After all the fun of tasting sugar cane was over, I was curious enough to find a video about how sugar is processed. I used to think white sugar was not nearly as bad as high fructose corn syrup. But I might have been wrong. There's a mention of sulfur dioxide vapors, powdered lime, and bleach in this video.
It's probably going to take me a couple years to accept this information and do something concrete about it. Has anyone ever tried to cut added sugar out of their family's diet for a week? Would it be possible?

First Flight of 2009
Miles with that familiar pre-flight smile
|The first flight of the New Year was also Miles Jackson's first flight from the mountain. The day started out with fog filling the valley, but we were confident that it would burn off. By noon, the valley was clear, the air was still smooth, and conditions were perfect for a first mountain flight.
Miles had a great launch. Eyes on target, nice run and great control of his nose angle.
Congratulations Miles!
Miles leaves the mountain

ACROSS MISSISSIPPI — The Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce's (MDAC) Bureau of Plant Industry is providing assistance to Mississippi hay producers that are transporting baled hay into areas that do not have established populations of fire ants.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has a fire ant quarantine in place that restricts the movement of baled hay from infested areas to non-infested areas. The quarantine requires baled hay to be inspected and certified as apparently free of fire ants.
Due to drought conditions, a large volume of hay is being moved to parts of the Midwest, particularly Missouri and northern Arkansas where fire ants are not established. In order for hay produced in Mississippi to enter these areas, each load of hay will need to be inspected and certified as apparently free of fire ants prior to shipment.

For all their charm, emojis as they stand don't necessarily cater to the needs of the modern, empowered woman.
Does the "dancing twins in bunny costumes" emoji speak to any of her daily hurdles, encounters, experiences?
Likely not.
But a Gloria Steinem emoji ? Always relevant: morning, noon, and night.
"Hey, I'm still in class."
"Just finished my run."
"Could you pick up some eggs?"
[Insert Gloria Steinem emoji as a symbol of the sheer force of your determination]
Gloria Steinem asks you to pick up eggs, you pick up eggs.
The "Femoji," or feminist emoji, is the creation of aptly named digital/storytelling platform Makers. If made available to the average texter, femojis would add to the trend of growing diversity in the emoji-sphere with icons depicting influential women of today. From arts to politics, from science to sports, these women are the women you aspire to be.
The emoji alphabet of today limits its representation of women to brides, princesses, sexy dancers, and women overly concerned with their haircuts.
This may seem like nitpicking, until you compare with the male emojis.
Police officers. Construction workers. Men at work. Men in motion.
And if that still reads trivial to you, consider how the smallest things, the most trivial bits of media and representation, Impact individual behavior.
As Makers themselves put it, with brevity and precision:
"You have to see it to be it."
If texting cartoon icons of Ruth Bader Ginsburg makes us anything more like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, we're in.

It was the kind of game-changing play that occurred far too infrequently last season for coach Mike McCarthy's liking.
Toss in the addition of safety HaHa Clinton-Dix in the first round of the NFL draft, and Green Bay has the potential of having two young impact players at a position that failed to get an interception in 2013.
"I think we've gotten our hands on a few balls, that's kind of how it goes, no different than rushing the passer," McCarthy said. "It's definitely good to see our secondary start to bring some of them in. We've had some opportunities. The coverage has been tight."
And that's with one of the starting safeties, veteran Morgan Burnett, watching practice again because of an injury. After sitting out last week with a sore ankle, Burnett has been sidelined the past couple of days with an oblique injury.
All the more opportunity for the Packers to be able to take a look at both Hyde and Clinton-Dix. The former played cornerback as a rookie last season; the latter had a stellar college career at Alabama.
Hyde appears to have had most of the first-team snaps next to Burnett, though Hyde and Clinton-Dix have been on the field at the same time lately with Burnett out.
"It's a great competition first of all, but we also have a bond on that back end. Everyone is trying to help each other to get better each and every day," Clinton-Dix said.
He's the natural safety still getting used to the pro game. Speed is one of the biggest changes.
"It's a very fast-paced game now," Clinton-Dix said. "Some of the best, elite quarterbacks. For one, A-Rod, going against him every day is competitive. And just the speed of the game."
That makes third-year safety Sean Richardson a veteran out of the bunch. One different look had Richardson, Hyde and Clinton-Dix all on the field at the same time in a goal-line practice.
Richardson, who has missed time the past two seasons with a neck injury, is unsure yet just how different the defense might look.
"New faces, new teammates. Just want to bring (along) the younger guys and get them up to speed in the playbook," Richardson said Wednesday.
For now, it seems as if Hyde has the edge so far to start with Burnett if the season were to start this weekend. For the Packers, Saturday is only the first preseason game in Nashville against the Tennessee Titans.
"I think all of the work he's getting (at safety) now is very valuable," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said recently. "Micah can play two, three positions for us, and the more guys you can have that can do that because we all know how your team changes as you go through the course of the season."

Two scenes of a couple mildly kissing.Dead/dying people are seen naked (no private areas are visible).A guy finds a porn magazine (no graphic nudity is seen), and another man makes a joke about masturbation ("do you need some time alone with that?").
There are several fairly gruesome scenes and a fair amount of blood. People get stabbed, shot, and beaten, and although not all deaths are graphic, the majority of them are intense.There is a theme of cannibalism in the movie. The cannibals are seen butchering people's bodies, tearing their limbs apart, eating body parts, etc.A young man kills another man by cutting his face in half, pulling a blade in his jaw (very graphic).A man's severed head is seen on video.A man is seen frozen with a gun in his hand; it is revealed a few seconds later that he shot and killed his wife and son and had planned to shoot himself.A man is found starving to death in a locked room. He has visible signs of PTSD and he shoves one man away from him so that he can lock himself back in the room and hide.A common statement made in the film is that members of the colony, when sick, can either be shot outside, or be forced into exile to freeze to death in the snow.
8 F-words, several uses of bastard, sh**, piece of sh**, a**hole, f**k, etc.
There are quite a few morbid, gross, bloody scenes.The main enemies are a group of rabid/feral people who have started cannibalizing people.Some scenes are highly psychological, intense and emotional.Some parts of the movie are very suspenseful and scary.

Happy Tuesday!
Building off what Jordan mentioned yesterday, I know a new year often marks the start of new goals and new resolutions. To be blunt, often these initial goals start off well, however, it can be common for one to experience setbacks.
So how will you respond?
Fight through that adversity by being resilient. Goals are achieved because of persistence, especially in the face of adversity.

Our car rental in Naples offers a wide range of affordable rental vehicles for different traveling purposes. From compact cars to luxury sedans, you will be able to choose whatever suits your needs best. You can click on the second tab of the menu to display an overview of our branches on Google Maps and find out which is more convenient for you.

Please note that Sixt can only guarantee your reservation for the chosen rental vehicle category, as specific car models are subject to availability at each branch.
Our wide-ranging fleet includes different car types so you can rent a car in Naples based on your budget and mobility needs. Head to our booking page to do a price comparison: you could rent a sleek sports car for a surprisingly affordable price, an elegant sedan for business trips or family vacations, an SUV for more adventurous outings. We also have comfortable compact cars to navigate the city with ease.
After choosing your rental car, make your reservation online or simply call us. During this process, you can select all the extras you need to make your car rental in Naples as convenient as possible. We offer a selection of inexpensive add-ons to provide you with an excellent ride, like insurance protection or additional driver coverage.
Here are some of our available extras:
If you fly into Naples, the city center is only a short drive away. You can pick up your car at our Naples Airport location and get downtown in about 20 minutes. Parking on the streets might prove difficult, but you can make use of the numerous parking garages that are scattered throughout the city: many of them are open 24/7. There is even a free one in Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi, near the train station.
Travelers arriving at Naples Central Station will find our branch in a couple of minutes: just exit the station from the main entrance, head to the right and then turn right into Corso Meridionale.
If you want to visit other places, Naples is well-connected to the Italian highway network. It is one of the endpoints of the A1 freeway which stretches through Italy all the way to Milan, touching Rome in about two hours. If you want to head south instead, you can use the A3 freeway which runs through the regions of Campania, Basilicata and Calabria.
A historically important trade center, thanks to its strategic location in the Mediterranean, Naples was the meeting point of Roman and Greek culture. To delve in ancient history, go visit the National Archaeological Museum, the best of its kind in Italy. This cultural institution houses a large collection of Roman artifacts, a number of important mosaics recovered from the ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum, and an impressive collection of Egyptian artifacts comprising 2,500 objects.
But don't believe that everything about Naples is ancient. The inhabitants pride themselves on modern Neapolitan culture, and you will be surprised at how deeply you will fall in love with this city. The concept of 'Napolitudine' refers to the melancholic feeling that both natives and tourists experience when leaving the city. An important element of the local culture is the passion for Nativity scenes, and the art of creating figurines: these are made of carved wood, terracotta and other materials, and are often dressed in miniature clothing. Every year, craftsmen create new figurines to sell, always reflecting events of the year. If you're going to visit around Christmas, make sure to visit the artisans of Via San Gregorio Armeno, the hotspot for Nativity scenes, to find something special to decorate your home and remember your trip. In the renowned workshops and stalls you might find figurines depicting politicians, soccer players, and other personalities.
If you want to see wonders of nature, you cannot miss Mount Vesuvius: the famous, currently dormant volcano that erupted in 79 AD, burying Roman settlements such as Pompeii and Herculaneum. You can visit the crater and the ancient ruins: all in a 16-miles radius from central Naples.
Distance to Mount Vesuvius
Distance to Pompeii
A trip to the Naples area is not complete without a visit to Sorrento. Many people start from this town to explore the famous Amalfi Coast and the nearby islands.
Distance to Sorrento
If you are going to Naples for work, chances are you are going to visit the Centro Direzionale business district. Situated near the center, the district was designed by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange and features the tallest skyscrapers in Southern Italy.

I'm not going to pick a "Release o' the week" today because I haven't seen any of the films below. However, that doesn't mean they should be avoided:
- The Lorax. This week's biggest release features a wealth of voice talent, including Ed Helms, Danny DeVito, Betty White and former SNL-er Jenny Slate.
- Marley. I'm eager to see this documentary about the reggae legend.
- Blue Like Jazz. This indie got some attention on the festival circuit; it follows a teen who leaves his religious upbringing in Texas for a liberal college.
Also out: Bel Ami, Grimm: Season One, Jesse Stone: Benefit of the Doubt, Parenthood: Season 3, Redemption Road, Strike Back: The Complete First Season, Kathy Griffin: Pants Off & Tired Hooker, Squidbillies: Vol. 5
Blu-ray highlight: So many good titles are out on Blu-ray today I can't choose just one: High Fidelity, Grosse Pointe Blank, Clue, Spaceballs, Adventures in Babysitting, The Incredible Mr. Limpet.
Related news:Take This Waltz -- a flick I really enjoyed starring Michelle Williams and Seth Rogen -- arrives on disc Oct. 23.
Next week: Get ready for The Hunger Games' release on Aug. 18.

I'm writing this blog because of one thing that seems strange to me.
While entering the Grand Line, Crocus said to the Straw Hats that the seven routes of the Grand Line have about the same difficulties. He meant that there wasn't any easy way, and all of them had the same dangers. But what dangers met the Straw Hats?
- In Whiskey Peak, the danger was high for every crew, but only because Crocodile placed there hundreds of bounty hunters. Before the raise of the Baroque Works (during Roger's times for example), Whiskey Peak was probably a peaceful island.
- Little Garden is actually dangerous because of the time for the Log Pose to reset (one year) and the beasts that live there.
- Drum would have been actually a quiet place to relax if only Wapol hadn't returned in that occasion.
- Arabasta was troublesome but nothing special for some other crew, which maybe didn't care about Vivi and the fate of the country. Another crew would have ignored the rebellion.
- Jaya was a chaotic place but there weren't strong enemies.
- With some "luck" the Loge Pose would have not pointed to Skypiea, so the Straw Hats would have reached directly the following island.
- Longring Longland? Davy Back Fight? Fake dangers. The Straw Hats could refuse to fight. The presence of Aokiji was caused by his search of Robin; another crew would have set sail easily.
- Water 7 is a beautiful place, there is only the Aqua Laguna, but it arrives only once in a year and however, a normal crew would have stayed in a hotel for the time.
- All the Enies Lobby arc would have not existed for another crew.
- Thriller Bark is a dangerous place but, like Whiskey Peak, dangers come from Moriah and not from an eternal menace.
Damn, it seems that the Straw Hats had a lot of problems from a super-easy route. What do you think?

Terry Foy and Brian Coughlin check in for their fifth Bracketology update of 2014.
NCAA Championship Committee chairman Jim Siedliski is set to oversee his last selection process on Sunday. His four-year term is up in August, but in the meantime, he and the committee have a lot of work to do.
Fortunately, the five-person body returns in tact from last season (despite two members coming from different full-time jobs; Siedliski, formerly an associate commissioner with the Big East, is now with the AAC and Heather Lyke, formerly an associate AD at Ohio State, is now the AD at Eastern Michigan). Fairfield AD Gene Doris, VMI coach Brian Anken and Hartford associate AD Ellen Crandall round out the panel.
In addition to the continuity, Siedliski cited the work of the 11-person advisory committee, comprised of a coach from each conference and Dave Pietramala as an independent, which has been issuing weekly reports updating the status of tournament contenders.
IL caught up with Siedliski on Monday for an update heading into the committee's weekend in Indianapolis and Selection Sunday.
What's it like chairing the Championship Committee now that your conference doesn't sponsor men's lacrosse?It's interesting. I always fashioned myself as a neutral party when I worked for the Big East and we had the sport, but it's different when you get to watch these games and there's literally no emotional attachment. I've seen so many conference iterations, so many jerseys with different acronyms, I've become immune to it. There's profound parity and high-level competition this year, I don't think we've ever drilled down as far in advance of the selection meeting as we've been the past few weeks.
Similar to how out-of-conference SOS became a key determining factor in 2012, has a number or metric emerged that you've found particularly illuminating or that might have a surprising impact on the tournament field?Not one thing, no. The regional advisory committee has done a good job to keep in mind that a team's resume is the whole body of work. Being able to put all of those metrics — RPI, SOS, Average RPI Win, Average RPI Loss — up on the wall is helpful. Those coaches have bought in and they get to pass that messaging on.
There isn't one thing that's really stood out. RPI is a placeholder, but at the end of the day, it's not the end-all, be-all. It's a mathematical barometer, but that's really it. There isn't one thing that's separating teams' resumes because there are so many good teams this year and there ares till only eight at-larges. Regardless of conference affiliation, we're in the same boat as we were last year.
How do you think the play-in games have impacted the way teams have moved forward through their season?I had a conversation with someone from MAAC last week and I know they moved their tournament to Thursday/Saturday to give their team an extra day of rest with the thought that they might be in the play-in game.
The ACC Tournament has made the last week of the regular season a whole different shooting match. When 'Cuse and Notre Dame were in the Big East, they played the last week of the season. I don't think their Patriot League games have something to do with the play-in game, per se, but I think the ripple effect will potentially have an impact.
How have the play-in games impacted the travel directives you've received from the NCAA?There have been no specific changes. One thing that's important to keep in mind is that we're only charged with seeding the bracket one, through eight. The number "two" has been thrown around [as in the two-flight rule], but it's not an edict. If the bracket bears out four flights, it is what it is. If the play-in games are going to bear out some ugly geography sticking to the [fourth-lowest AQ RPI vs. lowest AQ RPI matchup], we can change that and have play-in one vs. play-in three, if it goes from two flights to two bus trips, for example.
How did last weekend's ACC Tournament, in which Notre Dame won the AQ, impact how you forecast the Tournament field?Notre Dame's performance had a significant impact, not just on them, but on all the teams around them and the teams that beat them.
The Showcase game being played is a unique and creative way to have high-quality teams continue to play. It's interesting when the seeds played themselves out, Syracuse and Duke are the two highest-rated teams in RPI, and they're playing each other.
How do you regard a 7-6 Penn State team, 3 Top 20 wins, RPI 19, winners of three in a row, inelgible for the CAA Tournament, as an at-large possibility?
We made note of it early on that there were a couple unique situations, Penn State being one — they played an intra-conference schedule, but were ineligible for their conference tournament. When they're in pause mode, they have to let their body of work speak for itself. They've had a good season again, they're a Top 20 team and by virtue of that you have them in the conversation.
Since many teams competing for top seeds have finished their league tournaments, how do you see the top of the bracket shaking out?Even though we're only tasked with the top eight seeds, we try to maintain "bracket integrity" throughout, from one to 16. Over the three years I've been on the committee, I think we've done a pretty good job accomplishing that.
Two years ago when Carolina played Michigan, the Duke-Marquette game last year, there was significant movement in the numbers because there was such a gap in the matchup. The spread between Colgate-Syracuse, Duke-BU, Notre Dame-Army — something's got to give somewhere. We're not talking about teams playing themselves in or out, it's the nuances in the seedings and match ups.
How many teams would you say are currently "on the bubble?"I don't know because I think there's a lot of commonality among a fair number of teams. There are eight AQs still left to be earned, but I think it could be said transparently that some of those conferences are one-bid conferences. But in one or two conferences, there are teams who have as good a case as anyone around them to be on the board. If they don't win their conference, they'll be in conversation to be included in the at-large field.
Because of the commonality, this might be a year where people scratch their heads about matchups. If there's a cluster between 9-13, we might be moving teams all over the place. The main takeaway is, looking at how many important games and all these newfound ACC non-conference games, I've been more cautious than in the previous three years because I think there's going to be some shake-ups.
Has there been any further discussion about bracket expansion?Yes, there has. We have pretty good clarity in what the future could hold. The earliest bracket expansion could be is 2016. The process would start with the Championship and Sport Management Cabinet asking its sport committees for bracket change, and Men's Lacrosse would submit a white paper rationale for the DI bracket to go to 20.
In the meantime, the play-in methodology will be reviewed again, the idea being to re-use it for 2015. The thought is that it's a good partial measure to get more teams access. If all things go well, it'd be approved for 18 teams in '15, the committee would put forward a proposal and it could be 20 teams in '16.
Has there been further conversation about Championship Weekend for 2017 or beyond? Are there any meetings scheduled to hone the plan of bidding out and awarding future Final Fours?There has been conversation, it's been on-going. Not only are we looking at how the needle's getting moved for Championship Weekend itself, but also considering "Is it Championship Weekend that has to be changed?" With some Quarterfinals at NFL stadiums, you've got a chance to spend your dollar a lot of places, there's not enough expandable money to go around anymore. So we're asking "Do we send the Quarters back to two campuses?" When you go to an national championship at NFL stadium, we want it to be an incredible experience.
Over the last five years, there's been incredible saturation on TV, of regular season neutral site games, and I think the committees of the mind to look at the whole championship process. There's a thought that taking Championship Weekend away from an NFL stadium — we don't know that a campus would want to host it and tax their staff on Memorial Day Weekend — and, in moving from NFL stadiums, is that reactionary and visceral? If we can look at everything in totality and change some of the other moving parts leading up to the championship, we can continue what is a really unique Championship Weekend.
Moving into [the next bid cycle beyond Philadelphia hosting in 2015 & '16], the DI committee will come up with a plan at our meeting in August to recommend to the NCAA Cabinet in September. Hopefully coming out of September we can have a clear plan for '17-18.

In a radio interview with broadcaster and evangelical Christian James Dobson, Republican Michele Bachmann pointed out how the House of Representatives voted against the Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare. She expressed her hopes that the Senate would do the same to the reform.
She started off by saying how the House of Representatives passed her repeal for the Obamacare which had induced a renewed confidence in her. She said that a time would come when President Obama will be forced to 'repudiate' his own signature piece of legislation because the American people will demand it.
"And I think before the end of his second term we will see a miracle before our eyes and God will answer our prayers and we'll be freed from the yoke of Obamacare," Michele Bachmann said.
"I believe that's going to happen and we saw step one last week with the repeal of Obamacare in the House. We have two more steps. We serve a mighty God and I believe it can happen."
Michele Bachmann last week, while addressing the IRS tea party scandal, highlighted that the efforts to repeal Obamacare had been revived after the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) admitted that it had targeted conservative groups to check if they had abused their tax-exempt status.
She said, "Many people said this issue was dead, many people have said that Obamacare is here to stay."It was also said that Bachmann had used the IRS scandal to discredit Obamacare.
In her recent the radio interview, Bachmann has made it clear that she wants to take matters to a point where Obama will reject his own legislation.

Hewwo, is Biscuits Or Toto, whichever you like best and I don't think the current shichibukai are the best!
I can only think up a couple of Shichi's
Anyways, I want you to make up a Shichibukai that are unstoppable, yet, credible so it can't just be Kaidou, Monkey D Luffy, Charlo Lin and you get the point, it has to be someone who would actually take the position!
So leave a comment and find me some members because I am......Akainu and I will melt you if we don't get Shochibukai peeps!
Oh and you can use the lads and lassies who are already shichibukai, but be creative. And it has to be an existing character from one piece

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
The folks at Gameplay can be quiet, sometimes awkward. But they are knowledgeable and sincere, just like the stereotypical gamers they are. Cutting the music from the PA system is the artificial drone of racing-kart engines supplied by the store's still-operational Nintendo 64. Side-by-side with near-retail-priced new releases and the traditional used DVDs are cases of Gameplay's older wares and action figures, proudly displayed. There are cartridges for nearly every game system released since the 1980s, including rare imports for Japanese-specific consoles. You don't even need to leave when you get hungry or thirsty because the store sells video game-branded drinks and Japanese candy right there. There's no corporate veneer, no concentrated marketing pushes or purposeful store design, just people who care deeply about video games.
Family-owned auto shops are still the way to go in a world of EZ Lube drive-thrus and the Walmart-ification of car work. Adolfo Lopez runs Excel Auto Care in Lake Forest, and his crew can get you in and out pretty quickly, whether you need a new muffler or work on your catalytic converter. His guys—Sergio, Hector and Alex—know their nuts, so if your hooptie needs a tune-up, push it into their shop. And say hi to Hoss, the bulldog. Just don't do finger-guns on him: An otherwise friendly fella, that's the one thing that gets him riled up. Oh, and call ahead, as the place is always hopping with cars. The not-well-kept secret of this shop's great service has gotten out over the years.
Pound for pound, there are probably more vintage Volkswagens—split-window Kombis and Squarebacks, sleek Kharmann Gias and boxy Things, and Bugs upon Bugs upon Bugs—in Orange County than anywhere in the United States, driven by surf bums and weekend warriors alike. But the damn things break down similar to a subprime loan, so a good mechanic is a must. And while OC does have more than a few specialists, the true VW enthusiast knows the best repair shop is down Imperial Highway in Downey at Al's VW. Not only do Alfredo Reyna and his crew specialize solely in Volkswagen engines and offer quick service at affordable prices, but their shop is also located in a sea of VW specialists—paint jobs, sound systems, bodywork and the like. And Al's is just minutes away from Bill and Steve's, the Southland's ultimate original VW parts store, which VW owners already visit because their damn love always breaks down.
For sneakerheads, finding a rare pair of kicks is akin to stumbling upon the Hope Diamond. And in OC, there's no greater treasure chest than Attic, a streetwear shop on steroids across from Knott's Berry Farm. Inside the industrial-warehouse-like space, limited-edition and vintage sneakers are displayed on a mechanical conveyor belt for fanboys to salivate over. Gems have ranged from the Air Max Infrared Hyperfuse to the Foamposite Pro Gym Green to the Hundreds Selvedge Denim Johnson. But get 'em while you can—new releases come and go as quickly as the Space Shuttle Endeavor. And if you happen to notice a line of hipsters wrapped around the store, move those stylin' feet fast.
Hipster or hippie, gangster or gamine, everyone wants a hoppin' sound system for their transportation, be it a lowrider, Lexus or Vespa. Bristol Sound, off—you guessed it!—Bristol Street in Santa Ana, can service all of those vehicles, transforming even the lowliest, oldest car into a movable concert. It sells all the great stereo systems; offers more speakers than there are stars in the sky; and works fast, honestly and cheaply. And the staff will assist you in shaping your stereo needs, whether you want the lush sounds of classical music to dominate or want a bass level that'll turn your bones into pebbles.
Believe it or not, traditional barber shops have become their own scene in the past few years, with true-school cutters leading a pack of poseurs that has opened shop with all the trinkets of the trend, from rockabilly memorabilia to beer on tap. That's fine, save for the sad fact that the stench of pretension has crept into many of these joints. Enter brothers-in-blades Philip Hernandez and Eric Webb, co-owners of Circle City Barbers in Old Towne Orange. These vets present a laid-back atmosphere where a man can get a clean cut and a straight-razor shave without the too-cool preening that marks so many of their competitors' shops. Man-talk about bikes and broads is common here, and you're just as likely to hear classic rock as you are to hear Misfits and Johnny Cash. Spend about 45 minutes in one of their chairs, and you'll be hooked for life—or at least as long as you live in SoCal. It's a bullshit-free barber shop, so don't even bother to ask for an appointment.

GDPR: How to create best practice privacy notices (with examples)
There are a number of factors to the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) that from May 2018 will change how companies communicate with users and process their personal information.
One fundamental factor is privacy notices – how organisations explain at the point of data collection what users can expect will happen to their data. In this article, we'll dig into the topic of privacy notices more deeply, and present some best practice examples that appear to comply with the GDPR.
GDPR: 10 examples of best practice UX for obtaining marketing consent
With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) due to come into force in May 2018, there are already lots of resources out there to help guide you towards compliance.
However, there are fewer articles that point to companies who are already exhibiting best practice. So, I'm going to attempt to round up examples that already seem to comply with aspects of the GDPR.
Five marketing fallacies that only the blinkered believe
Marketing is full of fallacious commentary, opinion and vendor sales speak.
Earlier this year I rounded up some digital fallacies, but now I want to focus on marketing more broadly and some of its flawed reasoning.
Highly targeted online ads don't work: Stanford researchers
According to researchers at Stanford, highly targeted ads may not be all they're cracked up to be.
Based on a mathematical model they built based on game theory, the researchers instead suggest that advertisers "prefer to remain in a state of partial willful ignorance so as to preserve communication credibility."
Key trends in online identity verification (so everybody knows you're a dog)
The Internet was once a more anonymous space. People hid their real identities, coming up with unique and sometimes bizarre pseudonyms to represent themselves on specific websites.
As services and socialising shifted online, identifying each other digitally has become increasingly important.
How can we do this securely, without impacting users' experience? I'll explore the trends in online identity verification, looking at the key solutions and implications for businesses and users.
The five-point plan for data privacy & business
On Friday I attended a talk at Data Protection 2016 that was all about – you guessed it – data, but specifically how businesses can continue to thrive in the ever-evolving data economy.
The talk from Ctrl-Shift CEO Liz Brandt covered five key action points that business and government need to tackle together in order to avert a future crisis.
I'm going to cover them in detail in this post.
14 reasons you really shouldn't ignore DuckDuckGo
Another startup with a silly name? Sounds like something I'd like to get my teeth into.
For the uninitiated among you (where have you been?), DuckDuckGo (DDG) is a private search engine that has seen exponential growth since its inception a few years ago.
So why should you care?
Consumers becoming more relaxed about their data: report
Only 1% of consumers trust advertisers to look after their data, yet 27% would be prepared to sell their data and 41% of those believe their data is worth more than £500 per year.
This is according to our new report, Value Exchange from Data Exchange, produced in partnership with Acxiom.
Privacy in a data driven world
At the heart of the debate about data and privacy today, there lies a false premise. An assumption that there are sides to be taken and battle lines to be drawn.
This perceived division largely pits the individual against the interests of businesses.
WHOIS privacy changes: what they would mean for brands
Proposals being considered by ICANN would limit the use of WHOIS privacy protection services that domain name owners frequently use to keep their domain registrations under the radar.
The state of online privacy
Today's digital landscape is changing at breathtaking speed and is having a profound impact on the way we live our daily lives.
It's hard to believe that online banking has only been around for a few years; and it's almost quaint to think that I used to actually go to my bank to deposit a check.
Just last week, I lectured our plumber for not accepting credit cards on his phone. Don't even get me started on my daily addiction to Uber.
What are internet consumers most concerned about online?
The latest update to our Internet Statistics Compendium contains another comprehensive collection of key data from across the digital landscape, including primary research from ourselves and partners, as well as third party trends from a wealth of sources.
In recent months, there have been some fascinating stats published concerning security and privacy online from analysts as diverse as Statista, Global Web Index and Center for the Digital Future.

David West is a photographic artist living and working in the South East of England. In 2015 he entered the MA photography program at the University of Brighton. The last two years has marked a shift in his creative process, leading to experimentation with in-camera technique to disrupt conditioned elements of the image, further modification of the image is made by mixing the vocabularies of several different eras of photography to cast doubt on each other.Recent work has been produced using substantially modified document scanners mounted to large format cameras, the intentionally distorted images challenge traditional concepts of composition and denote the extended time signature of a single event. The resulting collision of antique photographic processes with up to date technology calls into question a number of viewer's expectations when confronted with the printed image.
