The Green Bay Packers have one goal heading into this year's NFL Draft. After putting together a mind-blowing offensive season this past year, it is safe to say that their offense will continue to put up points against any opponent in 2012.
However, what remains the chief concern for all Packers officials and fans is the play of the defense. They were simply not good enough to win the Super Bowl last year. Their drop off from 2010 to 2011 was quite remarkable. In order to compete for the Lombardi Trophy next season, they must improve their defense at all positions.
Luckily, there are many quality defensive prospects available in this year's draft, and the Packers are primed to take full advantage of their picks. They have the leadership and experience on the defensive side of the ball to be great, but, if they play like they did this past season, all that talent will be for naught.
If the Green Bay coaches are able to successfully integrate these new defensive players into their system, watch out for the Packers come playoff time. Here are five players that the Packers must target in the upcoming draft to ensure that they are well-equipped on both sides of the ball.

Hi,

The default security policy is to disable remote access to MySQL on port 3306. From the service console:

- Click on the menu on the right hand side of your service name
 - Select the option "Access Rules"
 - There should be a rule called "ora_p2admin_mysql" which is marked as disabled.
 - Click on the menu to the right hand side and select "Enable"

This opens up 3306 to the world. As a safer alternative, you should also consider an alternative rule that would open up 3306 to a specific ip-range. For example, covering your local network only.

Hope this helps. You can also open a support ticket if you still have troubles.

I just provisioned a MySQL database service in the Oracle cloud and I can't seem to connect to the instance via a mysql client installed on my windows PC. What do I have to do when connected to the compute note in mysql in order to connect remotely from my PC?

From PC:

mysql -u root -h PUBLIC_IP_OF_NODE -p

I tried -P 3306 as well but that is the default port so I figured that wouldn't matter.

When I connect to the compute node via ssh, I see mysql running via ps -ef and I can "sudo su - oracle" and connect locally via mysql. I just can't do it remotely.
 I have enabled all networking rules on the compute node networking security settings in the cloud interface.

Hi Kapil,

As long as you have a MySQL Enterprise Edition subscription that covers the instance being monitored or backed up, then you can do so indeed.

Hi,

we have enterprise as well as community editions running in our environment. I got to know that I can use MySQL enterprise monitor for monitoring both enterprise and community editions. Is this true for MySQL enterprise backup as well ? Can I use MySQL enterprise backup for backing up community edition server?

Hi,

we have buy MySQL Standard Edition(SE). But We have install MySQL Community Edition (CE) instead.This is because we could not find installer for SE.
 When we click Download button from official oracle website : http://www.oracle.com/us/products/mysql/mysqlstandard/overview/index.html

it directed to MySQL CE download page. LINK : http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/

Question:
 1. Is there any difference between MySQL CE and SE?
 2. Can I use the CE version in commercial environment? (License for SE already purchased)
 3. Will I have any issue, if I request technical support from Oracle? with MySQL CE installed.

Hello. I am an independent software developer (fancy term for kitchen-table coder) and my (closed-source commercial) application accesses the user's MySQL database which is provided by and installed on his web host.

The databases are created through the cPanel and myPHPAdmin utilities, and my application simply adds/updates the records. To do this, I make use of a handful of functions imported from libmysql.lib, which is statically linked to my application.

There are no bundled or locally installed databases; only the one on the web host. And my only usage is the handful of functions imported from the statically linked libmysql.lib to access the database on the web host (which I assume is licensed by the web hosting company).

For such a configuration, what type of license would I require?

Thank you.

Hi Geoff,

The way to get access to Oracle's MySQL technical support, advanced features as well as all the management tools is via a MySQL Enterprise Edition subscription. Your test environment will then allow you to explore the advanced features and tools, and will be the same as your production environment. More details on MySQL Enterprise Edition at: http://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/

Bertrand

Hi Team,

We are considering moving to MySQL Enterprise version and understand we need to pay for Pre-Production and Production (and want the support on these). We want to setup a Test environment to learn and understand the Enterprise features do we still need a full license? We have a CI environment and will use Community addition for Devs for testing and staging.

If you do not see an in-class event for the course in your location when you go to the training portal http://education.oracle.com/mysql, you have two choices. You can register your interest on this portal in an event for a specific location or even easier, you can choose to attend a live-virtual event. In this way you get to attend a live instructor-led event from your own desk, no travel required. The MySQL experts have reported that this course delivers very well in the live-virtual format.

Royal West Indies ( RWI )Luxury Resort, Beachfront Condo on Provo's Grace Bay Beach, rated #1 in the world by Conde Nast traveler magazine and Trip Advisor!! This suite is as close as you can get to the beach in Provo! The Balcony overlooks the fabulous, world known, Grace Bay Beach. You have to see it to believe it!!
Beautifully lush landscaped exteriors, spacious interiors. This is an elegantly upgraded,privately rented suites with all the amenities required to help you enjoy this fabulous hideaway in the Caribbean. Royal West Indies has become the place to stay on Grace Bay for Honeymooners, Golfers and Divers alike.
Located on the best and original part of Grace Bay. We are close to Championship 18-Hole Golf Course, fine dining and Stores. Stay in the resort everyone is talking about. Have dinner on the beach at Grace Bay Resort a 2 min walk down the beach.
We are located in the first and only beachfront building on the second floor overlooking the pristine white sandy beach and turquoise water of Grace Bay Beach. Relax on the large balcony overlooking the beach, fall asleep to the sound of the ocean and wake up to see the ocean when you sit up in bed!
This upgraded centre Studio Deluxe suite is perhaps the best studio in the resort and is only available exclusively through the owners. Enjoy the comfort of knowing the suite you book is the one you get...you only get this assurance through the owner as our suite is not available through the resort. Be a privileged special guests of suite 123.
The center studio units are larger as they do not have a lock off vestibule shared with the adjoining one bedroom suites which also makes them quieter and more private and no obstruction on the side from the one bedroom that extends out the front.
This stretch of Grace Bay Beach is where Jojo the dolphin hangs out. Come down to see Jojo, our local star featured in the IMAX movie now available on DVD. Perfect for a honeymoon hideaway, golf and diving vacations, or just getting away to frolic in the ocean!
All this and the best rates too. We look forward to hearing from you.

My wife and I are both Canadian but discovered Turks & Caicos Islands separately. I met my wife in 1997 on Providenciales were we lived and worked for almost 5 years (1997 to 2001) We were married on Middle Caicos Island during that time and eventually returning to Canada where we now live in Ottawa and have a son. We love the Turks & Caicos Islands and return for a fix often.
We offer our perfect paradise hideaway for all to discover the beauty of the Turks & Caicos Islands. Some guest return year after year to recapture that special first visit.
Happy Travels
beachfront purchased this studio in 2000
We both work in Architecture and the Royal West Indies was one of my projects. We are the original owners. RWI is located on the perfect stretch of Grace Bay Beach. we felt this property was one of the best quality built properties and the 130,000 gallon water tank under one of the building for watering landscaping was a hint of what would become the best landscaped property on grace bay. The lush tropical grounds are magical...
This is a spectacular stretch of Grace Bay Beach...walks on the beach with a coffee in the morning and sunsets views from the balcony in the evening...
If you book suite 123, you know exactly which suite you are getting. No surprises when you arrive such as finding out you are on the ground floor...
We just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful place and the book was invaluable. I have attached a picture of the humback whale and calf we got to snorkel next to probably the next best thing to swimming with the dolphins. We were on our way to West Caicos. The under water photographer (Dive Provo) took video which of course we bought. You may definitely use us as a reference.
We also dived Northwest Point which was very good and they took us to the Tiki Hut Beach (since we did not have 4WD this was a plus) However, in the June issue of Rodale's Scuba Diving - they are featuring Turks and Caicos and we were on the boat with that photographer and the photos in that issue will be from our dive experience. On that outing we had a family of dolphins following the boat (also with a baby) and he supposedly got at least one good photo. I definitely will pass on where we stayed.
Take Care,
This was our third time staying at RWI #123 ... Our happy place! The oceanfront studio suite is appointed with most everything you need to be comfortable as well as having the best view on Grace Bay - we spent many hours on the balcony watching the most fabulous sunsets in the world! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous and well-maintained. The staff of Royal West Indies makes you feel like you're coming home ... Who doesn't like that?! Elaine, the condo manager, is awesome! We had a couple of minor glitches during our visit which she promptly handled. Also, the owners, Russ and Dominique, are easy to work with and accessible as you plan your dream vacation. We are already looking forward to our next trip to Turks & Caicos!
We just returned a few days ago from Turks and Caicos and had the most amazing stay at this unit. The owners were so helpful with all our questions. The resort is so beautiful, you feel like you are in the middle of a tropical garden. We have traveled a lot and I have never been treated better than we were at the Royal West Indies. Everyone smiled and spoke to us everyday and the bartenders made it their priority to make sure we had a great time. They made our day and our evenings with the fun atmosphere they created every day. Our unit was absolutely perfect in every way. Very Clean and the view was like a picture out of a travel magazine. We are already talking about when we will be back.
My husband and I just returned last night from our 8 night stay at this condo. Although the weather didn't cooperate when we first arrived (torrential rain all day), we were able to make the most of it by sitting on the covered balcony and playing games. As the weather got better each day, we came to appreciate the location of the resort and the view from the balcony even more. The resort is friendly and small enough to meet many people. We met several couples at the hot tub (our go-to place in light rain) and at the bar during happy hour. Your are literally steps from the beach and the bar staying at this condo. It is roomy, clean and comfortable. The view is gorgeous. The resort has bikes to go to the store for snacks, soda, beer, wine. It is only about a 10 minute ride. We stocked up on cheeses, crackers, popcorn, wine and beer. We usually snacked for breakfast/lunch and enjoyed a nice evening meal at a restaurant. We had the fish tacos twice at the on-site bar. They are very good. Try the Mango daiquiri at the on-site bar-Delish! I would recommend Caravel (just down the road 5 minutes on the right) for their fish and chips-so moist and tender and Coco Bistro for a more ambient atmosphere with wonderful dishes. Both are very easy, quick walks. The resort had 2 Paddle Boards, 2 Hobie Cats and some kayaks. We never had trouble getting a lounge chair at the beach. People of all ages stayed at the resort. The casino is right next door if you are so inclined. During our stay, they had $5 black jack tables til 9pm. We will definitely be back!
I highly recommend this condo! The view is absolutely gorgeous. The condo is well kept and had everything we needed. The resort is in a great location and we easily walked to several restaurants and to the Graceway Gourmet IGA. We hope to return in the near future!
We could not have asked for anything more: very nicely furnished, comfortable, recently remodeled! The owners offers great tips & suggestions to make your stay the best. We rented a car to see more of the island and enjoy different restaurants although the IGA & lots of restaurants are withing walking or biking distance. We brought our own breakfast cereals, coffee and snacks and shopped the IGA for milk, OJ, bread, butter, etc. We have visited many different islands with beautiful beaches but never the same one twice. We hope to return to RWI suite 123, it was truly a wonderful vacation (but far too brief).
Our week at this condo was amazing in every way. The condo is exactly as advertised - perfect location, large private balcony where you can almost reach out to touch the beach, very clean, and all of the amenities you could want. The resort grounds are very well maintained and the tropical plants and flowers are beautiful. It was especially nice to have the resort staff ensure that we always had lounge chairs and an umbrella at the beach, with no extra charge involved. The resort location allowed us to walk to a variety of restaurants (including some recommended by the condo owners), so not renting a car was not a problem. We often walked along the beach at night to one of the area restaurants for dinner - dark but there are enough lights to make it easy and relaxing. We even walked to the grocery store, mostly along the beach as well. It was about 20 minutes. But the taxi company we used from the airport included a free trip to the grocery as well so you could stock up for the week. We had all of our breakfasts and lunches on the wonderful balcony - an added treat that also saved a few $$$. While we chose not to use the pools since the beach was so spectacular, they are both nicely done. Since the "Sail Provo" boating trip was not available when we wanted to go, we instead used Island Vibes tours which was great for some snorkeling and visiting an uninhabited island with another beautiful beach. Pickup was right at the beach. Prior to our visit, I had several questions for the condo owners, and they were always prompt and thorough in the responses.

Sony Computer Entertainment President Shuhei Yoshida has stated today via Twitter that all PlayStation 4 games will require implementation of the PS Vita Remote Play feature. This ensures that every PlayStation 4 game will be playable on the handheld device to some degree. Barring certain games that require additional hardware like the PlayStation Eye, all PS4 games will have to meet the requirement.
Here's Shuhei Yoshida's tweet confirming the news:
@mrdawe Yes, it's true unless the game requires specific hardware like the camera. It will be great to play PS4 games on PS Vita.— Shuhei Yoshida (@yosp) May 29, 2013
The confirmation comes on the back of various sources spreading the news earlier this morning. While none of the sources seem particularly aggravated by the new requirement, it will undoubtedly increase the workload for developers. Theres' the process of converting the video to work on the Vita's screen, which may or may not mess with the experience, but also the requirement of a new control scheme, which may be frustrating for some more demanding games.
That said, the requirement absolutely makes the PS Vita seem a little more alluring. Basically, Sony will capitalize on one of the major features of Nintendo's Wii U GamePad without forcing users to purchase the device. Also, PlayStation 4! I wonder how the games will look on the PS Vita's smaller screen.

Probing the minds of the next generation of creatives we continue our series by talking to Alanna Hilton about her immersive and impactful DiversityNOW 2016 entry.
DiversityNOW! Next Gen: Zahra Suleman
Racism in the fashion industry is a ridiculous concept in the 21st century. Except, here we are. Calling out our industry, one sassy pun, at a time, DiversityNOW entrant, Zahra Suleman from Ravensbourne, takes a leaf out of the medical model for addressing sickness by crating a first aid kit to address current model casting.
DiversityNOW! Next Gen: Tess Pisani
Inspired by Jennie Livingston's cult documentary 'Paris is Burning', that captured the eclectic New York drag ball culture of the 1980s, undergraduate styling entrant Tess Pisani at Isituto Marangoni, created a wealth of imagery for DiveristyNOW 2016. She shows us that every folk has their different stroke.
DiversityNOW! 2016 Shortlist

Education is at the heart of All Walks' campaign, inspiring and supporting fashion students to a more enlightened way of thinking. Last year our national student initiative #DiversityNOW worked with over thirty fashion universities and colleges.

Ok my first night home being with my LO was a long one I was so tired from giving birth (being up all night) I went to let my dogs and thinking changing the environment it might sooth her i was holding her bc she wouldn't sleep with out me holding her... As I pass the stairs I have a thought pop up saying "I could throw her down there...when I got outside all I could think of was that awful thought kind of talking myself out of why I would do or think such a thing like "why would I go thru 10 months of pregnancy I I were to do such a thing or my bf would hate me or I would go to jail things like that after that night I felt horrible for thinking that! And then fearful that I would do such an awful thing.... This was my trigger.... Was dangering my child?? Can psychosis take over for a few minutes and I back to normal?

people with anxiety tend to always think of the worst scariest thoughts that they can. It's not that we would act on them but we always feel like " well what makes us diff than the mom that does do those sorts of things!' But realize that even though you have those thoughts, they aren't comforting to you , which means you wont' act on them. they are only thoughts. when we are stressed out our minds decide to get our minds off what ever we were just worried about by throwing those intrusive thoughts in our minds. and it works! ugh! Don't worry, i have had all those crazy thoughts about the guns and knives in our house etc. But that is all they are, thoughts. hope that helps :)

2015 Up-and-Comer Award Winners
First Stop Health
AMPY Move is a wearable charger that captures energy from your motion. AMPY stores the energy, and turns it into power to charge your smart phone or any USB-powered device. About the size of a deck of cards and more convenient to wear than existing portable battery chargers, AMPY was designed to match the curves of the user's body. AMPY's two inductors transform energy that can be tapped through either of two USB ports and charge any device as fast as a wall outlet. Where other portable batteries turn into a useless brick when power is exhausted, AMPY keeps charging as long as the user keeps moving, and can hold a charge for as long as three months.
King-Devick Test
With research showing nearly nine out of 10 concussions go undiagnosed every year, King-Devick Test Inc. developed a tablet that can detect concussions immediately after they are suspected. In collaboration with the Mayo Clinic ( the first licensing deal in Mayo's 150-year history), the King-Devick test takes two minutes on the sidelines of an athletic contest. An injured athlete reads aloud single-digit numbers on three test cards, pre-injury and post-injury, and the results minimize guesswork in concussion testing when medical professionals are not present. A world leader in detecting reading disorders, King-Devick protects its test with 33 copyrights and eight patents pending.
Mobile phone users seeking to recharge their phones easily can find public stations that will wirelessly transfer power to their device. But the phone must be set in just the right spot and often just the right direction to activate the wireless charge. Congestion at the charging station also hinders usage. NuCurrent has developed a wireless power antenna that can be embedded in a site's infrastructure, such as an office wall or a cafe's tables. All that's necessary to transfer power is for the phone to be set in close proximity to the antenna. Besides enabling more convenient recharging, NuCurrent's wireless antenna can wirelessly power multiple devices on a single surface.
Opternative has its eye on transforming the way consumers undergo refractive eye exams and purchase new eye glasses. Consumers take a $40 eye exam in less than 25 minutes using a smart phone and a computer. Chicago-based Opternative's patented application uses algorithms to analyze the results of each exam. Within 24 hours, users who complete the online exam receive a prescription written by a registered ophthalmologist for use at any online or brick-and-mortar optical retailer. In the event eye complications are revealed during the exam, the doctor reviewing the results will recommend an office visit at the user's convenience and choice.
Research indicates that about 70 percent of in-person physician visits can be handled over the phone. First Stop Health aims to be on the provider end of those calls. The Chicago-based start-up offers a subscription service that provides unlimited access to U.S.-based, licensed physicians who assess, diagnose, and provide treatment over phone or online. The service is offered to employers, who seek to reduce health care costs incurred by their employees; consumers, who seek convenient telemedicine solutions provided in unlimited consultations; and health care brokers, who seek less costly solutions for their customers. Knowledgeable patient advocates are also available to help evaluate treatment options for a variety of conditions and diseases.
For 80 percent of the people on Earth, the internet as we know it does not exist. Outernet has built a new way to share information for those people. The Chicago-based start-up takes content from the world wide web, and broadcasts it from seven geostationary satellites. Content is cached back on Earth in Outernet receivers attached to a satellite receiver that can be located in the most disconnected places on Earth. Data can then be pulled up locally free of charge on any device, similar to wifi. A single satellite receiver can provide a community with an up-to-date library, including disaster warnings, crop prices, plans for building farm equipment, and government information.
Developing countries typically lack the infrastructure to effectively manage supply chains. As a result, medications often expire or go out of stock, and no one notices until it's too late. Reliefwatch provides that crucial monitoring of stock and tracking diseases by relying on basic mobile phones that clinics already possess. "If you can answer a phone, you can use our system," Reliefwatch founder Daniel Yu advises. Relief organizations register their clinics and warehouses with Reliefwatch, which automates prescheduled phone calls to health workers. The calls instruct workers to punch in responses to prompts, such as "how many sterile bandages" and "how many new cases of dysentery." Reliefwatch stores and analyzes the data, making it available to support staff.

Tanvas is helping the world rediscover its sense of touch. Tanvas' surface technology on a computer screen enables users to feel what they see on a touchscreen: the edges of keys, the snap of a toggle switch, the swipe of a turned page, the fur of a kitten, the direction and magnitude of impacts in a video game. Founded by two Northwestern University professors, Tanvas' touchable technology is the screen itself, unlike existing competitors whose "haptic technology" apps are additional components to the screen. The Tanvas screen itself can be adopted into applications such as tablets, gaming devices and control switches in the interior of automobiles.
In the exotic world of the Internet of Things, where machines talk to machines, communication can get messy. You can start your car from inside your warm house on a cold day, but can your car communicate with the repair shop when it needs an oil change? The car and the garage may not share the same protocol. Xaptum is a bridge among these machine-to-machine devices, enabling seamless integration regardless of protocols, transport layers or transport medium for connectivity, interoperability and data exchange. Xaptum's bridge is a cloud-based computing platform that can authenticate, authorize and configure messaging among machine-to-machine devices.
