After a recent visit to a hotel I was surprised to discover that they blocked access to my OpenVPN server. I often use this as a way to secure my internet traffic when I am on public wireless. Besides using only SSL based websites, or tunneling over SSH what options do I have to ensure that no one can sniff my packets while they are being broadcast in plain text through the air?
If you can arrange this ahead of time (or get someone to do it for you), you could set up an SSL proxy (e.g. via stunnel), which would in effect be creating an SSL VPN.
I see, you did say "besides using only SSL websites". Nevertheless for many it's not such a bad option to content yourself with the thousands of SSL sites listed in the Firefox and Chrome extension HTTPS Everywhere until you get back to an access point that supports your VPN. Limitations include that eavesdroppers would be able to see which sites you visit and that the extension does not prevent sites from incorporating unsecured resources such as Wikimedia Commons pictures into the secured pages.
Just some thoughts:
Actually it really depends on what you exactly want to achieve, what you really want to protect, etc. Using basic firefox plugins such as perspective/https everywhere, would provide a relatively secure browsing experience.
Since you have a VPN set up, it would be nice to use it, it's one step further and, if properly set up, can provide a fair level of anonymity and security. Refer to my previous point.
I would like to point out that if you browse "external" Web site then your packets will travel unencrypted at some point. Your VPN (or SSH or SSL proxy or whatever) only avoids that to happen in your immediate vicinity; it defeats attackers who are in the same hotel than you. But it does not defeat attackers in general. If you worry about eavesdroppers, then you should visit HTTPS sites only, regardless of WiFi, hotels and VPN.
Besides the other answers, you could also open a RDP session to a server on which you have an account. If you took care to set the server on port 443, then most firewalls will let that pass (RDP uses a specific transport layer which is distinct from a SSL/TLS connection, but few firewalls inspect data with enough attention to notice that). RDP 5.2 encapsulates a TLS session, so that's as secure as you can get. Web browsing through an exported desktop session can be a frustrating experience, but it is tolerable for text-based sites like, e.g., security.stackexchange.com (I am doing it right now).

I am trying to apply pomodoro techniques in my work, and it "seems" to be good. But as someone in this site has already questioned: Maybe things is better because of my "psychic" feelings to start something new.
Moreover.. I have a strange feelings: it "seems" I am healthier (due to the fact of taking quick break), but I don't know if I'm really more productive.
Maybe I just feel better because work less & make less things done. My tasks seldom repeat themselves: sometimes harder, sometimes easier, sometimes a little longer or shorter. And everyday I have some new tasks, so it's hard to compare.
I want to measure my performance to confirm that fact - and to confirm the effects of pomodoro on my life, too. Does anyone have some tips to share: how can I measure my performance growth, if the task is not the same everyday?

Meridian Circuit Systems: A Channel Based Approach to Pattern Identification (9781453784204)
Publisher: Integrative Healing Press
Binding: Paperback
This new book, Meridian Circuit Systems: A Channel Based Approach to Pattern Identification, begins by teaching the 5 systems of meridian connections that are based on the Chinese meridian names and the horary cycle. After this has been covered, in-depth explanations are given to show how these 5 systems overlap and integrate with zang-fu theory.
The core component of the teachings cover the 15 major meridian circuits, as well as the energetics and functions of each of the circuits. This will lead to an in-depth understanding of how to quickly determine what 4 meridians/organs are most out of balance in the patient. Case studies and techniques are reviewed to show how to implement this system into any practice.

Funding Remains Issue for Brazil World Cup Stadium
SÃO PAULO, Brazil—Brazil's government has called an emergency meeting to be held in the next few days to find a solution for the funding of a soccer stadium that's scheduled to host the opening match of the soccer World Cup 2014 in Brazil.
"This is a delicate situation but I think that we will reach a solution," said Luiz Fernandes, Brazil's deputy sport minister, said in a telephone interview.
The Corinthians soccer team in São Paulo has threatened to suspend construction of the stadium, which will also be its new home, unless the government-run National Bank for Economic and Social Development, or BNDES, pays out some $202 million in loans that have already been approved but not yet disbursed. The total cost of the stadium is estimated at $412 million.
"There's a problem regarding guarantees provided to obtain the loans," Fernandes said. "In the next few days we will organize a meeting with representatives of BNDES, Corinthians, [construction company] Odebrecht and the municipal and state governments."
BNDES lends via commercial banks, and not directly. In the case of the Itaquerão, as the stadium is popularly known, the bank running the deal is government-owned Banco do Brasil SA, BDORY 3.35 % which has rejected the guarantees that Corinthians and the construction company, Odebrecht SA, have put up to secure the loans.
According to a banker involved in the deal, none of the "usual" guarantees, such as real estate or cash on deposit with banks, have been put up, the banker said. Instead, they are offering futures revenues from the stadium or from stadium naming rights, he said.
Spokesmen for Banco do Brasil and Odebrecht declined to comment. The press department for Corinthians didn't respond to a request for comment.
According to Fernandes, another point of concern is the "Verdão" stadium that's being in Cuiabá, in the center-west of the country, where the main construction company, Santa Bárbara Engenharia, quit as a result of financial problems. Fernandes said another construction company, Mendes Júnior, took over earlier this month and "we are confident that it will be concluded in time."
Of the 12 stadiums to be used for the World Cup, just three are ready, in the cities of Fortaleza, Belo Horizonte and Salvador. Another three—in Rio de Janeiro, Recife and Brasília—are expected to be ready by the Confederations Cup, a warm-up for the World Cup to be held in Brazil between June 15 and June 30 this year.
All six stadiums should have been ready by December 2012, according to the original timetable. Fernandes said the construction at each of the three remaining stadiums has been delayed for different reasons, but said "all six stadiums will be ready to be used for the Confederation Cup."
Indeed, at a recent meeting at the headquarters of FIFA, international soccer's governing body, officials said they're confident the projects will be completed on time.
"There have been delays in deliveries but the stadiums will be delivered on time. We're very satisfied," said Joseph Blatter, president of FIFA, after the March 19 meeting.

Mammogram After Breast Cancer Treatment?
The University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing
Last Modified: December 13, 2011
Do I still need to get a mammogram after breast cancer treatment? If so, how often?
Kevin Fox, MD, Medical Oncologist at Penn , responds:
If you have had breast conservation surgery for your breast cancer, then mammograms once per year are recommended. If you had a single mastectomy, with or without reconstruction, the opposite breast should still be screened with annual mammogram. Of course, if you have had a double mastectomy, with or without reconstruction, then there is no need for a mammogram.

Henryk A. Kowalczyk: The Freedom of Migration Act
At the 2008 Benefit Dinner, supporters of The Heartland Institute participated in a heated debate about immigration. In the end, the vote was split almost evenly between supporters and opponents of the present restrictive immigration policy.
Five years later, the issue is still in front of us. Henryk A. Kowalczyk presented an engineer's approach to our immigration crisis. By looking at the history of our immigration policy, he explained how mistakes made about a hundred years ago, and never corrected, weigh on our current immigration problems.
He outlined how his analysis of the immigration crisis led to the formulation of the Freedom of Migration Act proposal, the free-market-based immigration policy solution.
About the speaker:
In 1970s, Henryk A. Kowalczyk gained nationwide recognition as a political writer in his native Poland. He immigrated to Chicago in 1985. Eleven months after arriving in Chicago, Kowalczyk started his service business, profitably sold twelve years later.
Since then service works as a technical and business consultant. Kowalczyk blogs here, in perpetual search of reason.

Students of Philosophy studies need not worry about paying for over-priced textbooks anymore – renting textbooks is an option! Philosophy textbooks – for example A Hole Is to Dig by [Ruth Krauss], and IB Theory of Knowledge Course Companion: International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (International Baccalaureate Course Companions) by [Eileen Dombrowski, Lena Rotenberg, Mimi Bick] – are often some of the most frequently updated books by Publishing companies. The field of Philosophy is constantly changing, and new editions can come yearly and at a huge cost to students who continually buy new books. So why buy when you can rent cheap textbooks? There are plenty of Philosophy books to rent – BookRenter has of them all!
Used book sales can be a cheap option as well, but often can be more expensive than textbook rentals. However, there are very few return policies with used books, and especially when taking Philosophy classes, buying a used book can be dangerous and costly.

The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: January 22, 2002
This "Helpful Facts" sheet is designed to give you basic information on lumpectomy for breast cancer. More detailed information can be provided by your doctor or nurse. If you have other questions or would like additional information please talk to your doctor or nurse.
What is a Lumpectomy?
A lumpectomy (also known as a partial mastectomy or breast conserving surgery) is the surgical removal of a breast lump or abnormal area seen on mammogram. This procedure keeps the breast looking much the same as it did prior to surgery. When removing the lump, a small amount of surrounding normal tissue is also removed. This is done to make sure that all of the cancerous tissue has been removed. The tissue is then examined by a pathologist to see if any cancer cells are present in the surrounding normal tissue that was taken out. If there are no cancer cells in the tissue from around the tumor, this is called "clean margins." If cancer cells are found, your surgeon will recommend additional steps, which may include a "re-excision" to remove the additional cancer tissue.
Lumpectomy with Needle Localization for Non-Palpable Lumps
If the lump or abnormal area is not palpable (not able to be felt), you will begin in Radiology on the day of your procedure. The radiologist will use mammography or ultrasound to guide a needle into the area of concern and will then place a wire in your breast to help pinpoint the specific area to be removed. The wire is then covered with a dressing to hold it in place. The average time for this part of the procedure is 30-60 minutes. You are then taken to the operating room where you will receive a local anesthetic to numb your breast, as well as, sedation through a needle in your arm to make you sleep through the procedure. The surgeon uses the wire as a guide to precisely locate the lump. An incision (cut) is made and the abnormal tissue, along with the wire, is removed. When the surgery is complete, a dressing is placed over the incision and you are taken to the post anesthesia care unit (PACU) to recover. In general, you can expect to be in the operating room for 60 to 90 minutes and in the PACU for about 1-2 hours.
What are the Risks of Lumpectomy?
All surgery involves risk. Your surgeon will discuss the risks of the lumpectomy with you. There can be some scarring or change in the shape of the breast, depending on the size and location of the lump. Your surgeon will discuss what you can expect. Other risks and complications associated with breast surgery are listed below:
How Long Will I Stay in the Hospital?
Most women do not need to stay overnight in the hospital unless an axillary lymph node dissection is performed. An axillary lymph node dissection is the surgical removal of the lymph nodes in the underarm area to determine if breast cancer has spread beyond the breast to the lymph nodes.
How Will I Look and Feel After Lumpectomy?
Post-surgery breast size depends on how much tissue is removed. There will be a scar from the incision. Initially, there may be some swelling and discomfort. You will be given prescription pain medication to take at home if needed.
When Do I Learn the Results of the Lumpectomy?
It takes approximately 5 to 7 working days to get pathology results. The results will be discussed with you at your first post-operative visit.
Will I Need Radiation Therapy After a Lumpectomy?
After a lumpectomy, most women receive six to seven weeks of radiation therapy, in order to eliminate any cancer cells that may remain after surgery.
What is Radiation Therapy?
Radiation therapy is a highly targeted, effective way to destroy cancer cells. Radiation therapy decreases the chance of breast cancer coming back after surgery. Despite what some people may believe, radiation therapy is relatively easy to tolerate. Most side effects are restricted to the area being treated. Side effects of radiation therapy may include:
You will have a more detailed discussion about radiation therapy with the Radiation Oncologist. To find out more about radiation therapy, please request the "Helpful Facts" sheet called About Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer.
Is Lumpectomy an Effective Cancer Treatment?
A lot of research has been done in recent years to determine if lumpectomy is as effective as mastectomy for treating breast cancer. Evidence shows that lumpectomy followed by radiation is likely to be equally as effective as a mastectomy for someone who has:
Your surgeon will advise you when a lumpectomy is an option for you to consider, and will help you weigh your options.

Crown Prince Salman chairs Cabinet session (12/10/12)
December 10, 2012
Crown Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz chaired the Cabinet session at Al-Yamamah Palace in Riyadh this afternoon. At the outset, he praised God Almighty for bestowing good health and recovery upon the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, following the latter's successful surgery. The Crown Prince noted that the King's prestigious, influential international status, coupled with the Kingdom's current renaissance, has led the U.S. publication Forbes Magazine to rank King Abdullah as the most powerful person in the Arab world – and the seventh most powerful individual globally.
After being briefed on the latest regional and international developments, the Cabinet welcomed the holding of the 8th Manama Dialogue Forum in Bahrain. The ministers renewed their condemnation of Israel's continued settlement construction on Palestinian territories, including its recent decision to build 3,000 housing units in the West Bank and Al-Quds [Jerusalem]. Finally, the Cabinet reviewed the outcome of the 18th Conference on the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Doha, expressing hope that the Convention will be strengthened and that climate change will be adequately addressed after 2020.
Then, the Cabinet reviewed the scientific, cultural and social conferences and activities held last week in the Kingdom, including the celebration marking the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Prince Salman Center for Disability Research (PSCDR).
Finally, the Cabinet discussed the efforts exerted by the Kingdom to correct misconceptions about Islam, and then listened to briefings on the annual reports of the Agriculture Development Fund for fiscal years 1427-1430 H. and the General Presidency for the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice for fiscal years (1427-1429 H.
Turning to its weekly agenda, the Cabinet approved a number of measures regarding the central control sector and the investigation agencies, including the transference of the duties of the Control and Investigation Bureau to the Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution; approved the strategic plan to develop the performance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs; authorized the President General of Meteorology and Environmental Protection to sign a draft memorandum of understanding for cooperation in the field of environmental protection with Morocco; approved the final account of the Grain Silos and Flour Mills Organization for fiscal year 1431-1432 H.; and approved the organization of the Saudi Center for Organ Transplantation.

What is Clinical Pastoral Education?
Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) is graduate-level theological and professional education for ministry that takes place in a clinical setting. CPE students learn the art and skills of pastoral and spiritual care by providing pastoral and spiritual care to patients, families and staff, and then reflect on their ministry experiences with a certified CPE Supervisor and a small group of peers.
In addition to learning skills and expanding knowledge related to ministry in a healthcare setting, students are invited to learn about themselves and how their personal histories, faith perspectives and individual gifts influence their pastoral and professional functioning. Students have the opportunity to shape their learning by setting their own learning goals and seeking experiences and resources to assist in meeting those goals.
The clinical method of learning used is a dynamic and creative process that combines action (the actual practice of ministry to persons) and reflection (using resources such as written reports of visits, discussion and feedback from peers and the CPE Supervisor, and application and integration of didactic material). An ongoing learning cycle develops that enables students to develop and expand their ministry skills and knowledge while also deepening their self-awareness and self-knowledge. Out of this expanded self-awareness and ministry experience, new ministry and relational choices and responses are available to the student.
The CPE Program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is accredited by the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education, Inc. to offer Level I and Level II CPE programs. We are accountable to the ACPE Standards and our CPE curriculum and programs are developed to meet these Standards in order to provide an excellent educational and training experience. The ACPE website is a very helpful resource for further in-depth information about CPE and its history, methodology and typical curriculum elements. Its page is particularly useful in describing Clinical Pastoral Education and its curriculum, structure and learning methodology.
Who takes CPE?
CPE is taken by seminary students preparing for ordained ministry, ordained clergy who desire continuing education in pastoral/spiritual care and qualified lay persons who may desire the learning in self-reflection and pastoral care for ministry within their faith communities. Lay persons and clergy may also take CPE to discern a ministry vocation in chaplaincy, and CPE is the primary clinical training modality for those preparing for professional hospital chaplaincy. Persons from many faith traditions and denominations take CPE, as do persons from a variety of ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
Persons who are interested in discerning a call to hospital or healthcare chaplaincy typically take a first unit of CPE. If the CPE experience confirms that interest, it is recommended that application to a CPE Residency program be made. These year-long programs consist of three or four CPE units, pay a stipend, typically provide some benefits and are designed to provide the kind of focused training and education to prepare students to serve in a professional chaplain role. The national certifying professional chaplaincy organizations typically require a total of four CPE units as part of the certification requirements. Those interested in professional chaplaincy may wish to explore the websites of these national chaplain-certifying associations: The Association of Professional Chaplains, the National Association of Catholic Chaplains and the National Association of Jewish Chaplains.
CPE at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center
CPE has been offered for more than 30 years at Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center, one of the largest and most diverse academic medical centers in the country. Our CPE program and Chaplaincy Department are well-integrated into the mission of the Medical Center: to improve people's lives through patient care, education and research. CPE students join many other students within this academic healthcare setting who are learning professional roles and skills. CPE students serve as chaplain interns or residents within the Chaplaincy Department, visiting patients, responding to requests and referrals and providing after-hours on-call coverage. CPE students work and learn alongside our Chaplaincy Department staff of professional chaplains, who serve as models of professional pastoral caregivers and consultants in the students' learning process.
The breadth and scope of medical care at Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center provides a rich training environment for CPE students; its website gives further detail about this world-class academic medical center. CPE students provide spiritual and pastoral care to persons with a wide variety of medical conditions that reflect the innovative services provided here. CPE students visit patients and their families in University Hospital, the Ross Heart Hospital, the James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Institute and University Hospital East. CPE residents may also have pastoral experience with psychiatric patients at the behavioral health hospital, Harding Hospital; the physical rehabilitation hospital, Dodd Hall, and other specialized areas.
In addition to the diversity of medical care available, Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center serves a diverse cultural and spiritual population. Both staff and patients represent a variety of faith traditions, as well as many ethnic and cultural backgrounds. CPE students have the opportunity to expand their knowledge and experience with cultural and religious diversity through their pastoral work and through formal CPE curriculum elements. In addition to the clinical learning resources across The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, there are many other learning resources available to CPE students at The Ohio State University and the Colleges of Medicine and Nursing. A wide range of lectures and workshops are open to our students on topics and subjects relevant to their training.
CPE Content and Structure
Each "unit" of CPE, whether Level I or Level II, consists of a minimum of 400 hours combining no less than 100 hours of structured group and individual education with supervised clinical practice in ministry. CPE students are assigned to patient care units to serve as chaplain interns or residents. In addition to visiting patients and families and interacting with the staff on their assigned clinical areas, CPE students serve as in-house, on-call chaplains for after-hours shifts (weeknights, weekends and holidays). Students also provide worship service leadership when serving as on-call chaplain on Sunday.
Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center CPE curriculum is designed to facilitate students' learning in pastoral formation, pastoral competence and pastoral reflection. CPE provides opportunities to embrace the role of minister and learn pastoral/spiritual care skills related to ministry, to develop abilities in self-reflection and self-awareness and to learn to use peers, supervisors and others as resources for learning. CPE is done in a small group format, and each CPE program typically has four to six students enrolled. Given the value of diverse experiences, thinking and styles of ministry, the CPE supervisors desire to create a small group with as much diversity as possible.
The peer group meets routinely each week, the schedule depending on the specific CPE program, in order to:
- Review and discuss student presentations of their pastoral visits, using the resources of theology/spirituality, the behavioral sciences and pastoral care to develop greater knowledge and awareness of the dynamics and needs present in the visit.
- Attend lectures or presentations of conceptual material relevant to learning and serving in the pastoral role within this setting.
- Reflect on the peer relationships, and on the dynamics within the peer group, in order to learn more about oneself in relationship with others and as a group member (peer supervision).
In addition to the group meetings, individual supervision occurs with the CPE Supervisor weekly, giving students the opportunity to discuss their specific learning needs and concerns as they arise throughout the program. CPE students also set their own learning goals at the program's start, which helps personalize their learning. Staff Chaplains serve as resources and consultants for the students' education, both formally and informally.
It is important to note that, while CPE shares some elements with "traditional" classroom learning (such as lectures, required reading, written reports of visits or "verbatims"), there is a unique emphasis in CPE on using "here and now" relationships—with patients, families, medical staff, pastoral care staff, peers and supervisors—as an avenue for learning about ministry and ministry relationships. Through these relationships, the issues of trust, respect, differences, assertiveness, confrontation and conflict are practiced, experienced and reflected upon as a way to grow in the self-awareness and skills needed for ministry.

I want to use these lugs on my electrical installation, but I can only find pliers for up to 16 mm2 cables and the mains cables are 25 mm2. I found one store that carried pliers able to do up to 50 mm2, but they where VERY expensive (about 150 dollars).
Is it possible to use these nice lugs without proper pliers? (I will need to crimp at most 8 lugs).

Create a new column (ALTER TABLE) then run an UPDATE on it
You can add a new column and manually update it as @gbn suggested, but now you have to constantly keep this column up to date with insert/update triggers or some other mechanism. Borrowing @gbn's guesses on table/column names, here are a couple of different approaches that don't require constant maintenance.
Computed Column
You could also persist and index this column, trading off query performance for storage, but you'll need to make a slight change to the calculation (trying to persist the above will yield an error about the computation being non-deterministic):
You would want to persist the column if you are more concerned about read performance than write performance (or storage).
One benefit of a view over a new column is that you don't have to change the base table schema (or worry about keeping it up to date). You pay the cost of computation at query time, which is the same as a non-persisted computed column.
Since the above calculations are not overly complex, just include the calculation in your query. Hopefully you are using stored procedures for data access so you aren't repeating this often.

CNN- Donna Summer, the "Queen of Disco" whose hits included "Hot Stuff," "Bad Girls," "Love to Love You Baby" and "She Works Hard for the Money," has died, a representative said Thursday. She was 63.
Her publicist, Brian Edwards, said Summer was suffering from cancer. She died surrounded by her family in Florida, he said.
"Early this morning, we lost Donna Summer Sudano, a woman of many gifts, the greatest being her faith," a family statement said. "While we grieve her passing, we are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy. Words truly can't express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time."
Summer first rose to fame the mid-'70s, thanks to "Love to Love You Baby." The song, with Summer's whispered vocals and orgasmic groans helped define the mid-'70s disco trend and hit No. 2 in 1976. Summer followed the song with such hits as "I Feel Love," "Last Dance" and a disco-fied version of the Richard Harris hit "MacArthur Park," which outdid Harris' version by hitting No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 singles chart. It was Summer's first of four chart-toppers.
But with her 1979 album "Bad Girls," Summer broke out of the disco mold as the genre, which had become renewed by the success of the "Saturday Night Fever" soundtrack, was feeling a backlash. "Bad Girls" demonstrated Summer's vocal and stylistic range and produced two No. 1 hits, "Hot Stuff" and "Bad Girls," as well as a Top 10 ballad, "Dim All the Lights."
However, Summer had some trouble adjusting to the changing times. Her next album, "The Wanderer," went for more of a rock feel. It produced a Top 10 hit in the title track but fared relatively poorly on the charts -- especially after the success of "Bad Girls," a double album that spent five weeks at No. 1.
It wasn't until 1983's "She Works Hard for the Money," which became a ubiquitous video as well as a big radio hit, that Summer's fame approached its late '70s zenith.
The Recording Academy, which presented five Grammys to Summer, said she "had a dynamic voice and unique musical style that helped define the dance music genre in the '70s.'"
"She also was an artist who crossed many musical genres, as evidenced by her Grammy wins in the R&B, rock, inspirational and dance categories," Recording Academy President Neil Portnow said. "Her talent was a true gift to the music industry, and our thoughts and sympathies are with her family, friends and fans throughout the world during this difficult time."
"I don't like to be categorized because I think that I am an instrument, and if you play me, I'll make whatever particular sound is supposed to come out for that color," Summer told CNN in a 2008 interview. "And so, in the overall spectrum of things, I'm just trying to be true to my -- what I feel my mission is."
Hollywood publicist Michael Levine said he was hired in 2002 to help Summer "rebrand and reinvent her image."
"She was a victim of her own success," Levine said. "The disco diva imprint was so great that she wanted to break beyond that."
"She would always bring a gift when she came to our office, which is not common," he said.
Celebrity reaction to news of Summer's death was immediate.
"I was shocked to hear about Donna," singer Barbra Streisand said in a statement released by her publicist. "She was so vital the last time I saw her a few months ago. I loved doing the duet with her. She had an amazing voice and was so talented."
"She will be terribly missed. She was truly the #Disco Queen!" Singer La Toya Jackson said in a Twitter posting.
"Whitney. Tina Marie. Vesta. Now Donna Summer. The choir in heaven has a new member. They will be singing up a beautiful storm:)" actress Niecy Nash tweeted.
"Rest in Peace dear Donna Summer. Your voice was the heartbeat and soundtrack of a decade," music producer Quincy Jones tweeted.
The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Summer's honor to the Salvation Army.

In English, we can use k and m to denote thousand and million: I drove 5k miles. What are the equivalents to k and m in French? If there are not any such equivalents, is there some kind of shortened version?

Such abbreviations are hardly ever used in French.
Currencies are a bit different. In formal writing, they are fully spelled out, e.g. "150 millions de dollars" for "$30m". In business contexts, it's common to use the prefixes
I've never heard M pronounced, and I've never seen G used for billions in such contexts (it seems to be used occasionally in Canada). This may be because I don't normally manipulate such large amounts, but then few people do. Even k wouldn't be understood by everyone, it has a megacorp/finance feel to it.
Those letters are actually the metric prefixes, also known as Système International prefixes, so they have the same meaning in every languages as unit prefixes, as in km for kilometers.
As in English, they can be used as shortcuts for the powers of ten, although this use is not as common as it is in English. In my experience, they are especially used when speaking of money amounts, and especially of remuneration, and M is less common than k
I don't know about others abbreviations of this type.

We have an asp.net web server application and web service,which will be hosted in the same server. Customer's IT team has asked us what is the expected no.of traffic on the web server. How do I calculate this?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Sep 18 '09 at 11:47
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
try this website, to moniter server traffic
you can apache/IIS/lighthttpd/etc.. log parsing program to know the traffic. The most well know is awstat.
The log parser will produce several reports with number of hits, page view, traffic,
You can also look into ntop if you need a solution that doesn't involve logs.
Calculating expected traffic is not an easy task, the best way would be to have some sort of network traffic monitor installed, setup 10 testing engineers and tell them to browse the site and then collect bandwidth data used by 10 users. Once you have this data, you will get per user usage and then you can determine other parameters like how it will drive users? I mean how do people will know about your site and they will come? by ads? or you already have fixed number of users visiting your site?
The key here is that you have to measure the current traffic (per session and/or user) and trend that based on the anticipated number of future sessions and/or users. While it should be easy to measure the current traffic levels, anticipating future growth will be a little trickier and some part of the answer falls on the customer. How many sessions and/or users do they expect to use the site in the next month, 6 months, 12 months?
The customer asking you to estimate what the future traffic level will be is analogous to them asking you when the lightbulb in the broom closet is going to burn out. You can give them an approximation based on the rated life of the bulb and it's current useage, but it's hard to predict what might happen in the future. Will the light bulb be turned on more or less frequently in the next month, 6 months, 12 months?
If you want a quick and dirty method...
You actually have to define traffic in order to answer this question. Do you mean in bandwidth, or in users? Both questions are related, but can answer different questions - it sounds like you're being asked to help with overall capacity planning, which would include both those and potentially resource utilization across the board.
To start with, it may be a question of simply scraping your logs as others have indicated (ie, looking for 'hits' as a metric, or added some basic tracking into your application itself. You can then correlate this with bandwidth used on site, and estimate based off your average number of users what your bandwidth usage would be over time as you added additional traffic/users.
Once you have baseline data for your user base, cross referencing this with metrics like bandwidth, cpu usage and memory are very useful for answering the types of questions you're asking. Munin or cacti, as others have suggested, are excellent tools to begin collecting data and graphing it over time to see trends.
How can you calculate expected traffic without a historical trend of traffic on the system? I would implement one or more of the following:
You can't know the future without studying the past. :)
ratio like P/E value compared to similar companies. technically you can profile os or just logfile analyzer or oldschool grep through logfiles are used. depends on technical load or market penetration. first probably serverside measures and latter surely most reliable always validate via external service, don't measure yourself, and compare relative others instead of absolute value.

I would like to practice reading music on something other than notation written for guitar. Are there other pieces written for violin, for instance-or other instruments, that can be transposed easily to the electric guitar?
Violin music is a better bet than cello music, for two reasons:
So as much as I love the Unaccompanied Cello Suites, I highly recommend instead Bach's Unaccompanied Sonatas and Partitas for Violin. The Partita #3 in E-Major (link to video) is my favorite: it's full of joy and passion, and it transfers really well to the guitar (although to play it at tempo, you have to have serious chops; more than I have, at any rate).
My interpretation of your question was quite different from the answers everyone else has given. I interpret your "other than notation written for guitar" to mean that you want to learn to read music and not guitar tab. I further interpret your comment to imply that you want to take music written for some other instrument and transpose for the guitar.
In answer to the first part: there are literally thousands of classical guitar pieces available for free on the internet. Most of these are written in music notation and not guitar tab. I highly recommend learning to read musical notation. Guitar tab doesn't cut it very well when it comes to sight reading. It takes some practice but you'll find that you will eventually be able to play 80-90% of the music out there on a first/second read (not necessarily up to tempo, and a few mistakes here and there) once you learn to read music. Search for Classical Guitar Sheet Music and you'll find more than you'll ever get a chance to play in one lifetime. Carcassi, Carulli, Sor, Tarrega and Giuliani have quite a few easier pieces that are very satisfying musically to play. Weiss, Bach and Scarlatti have a multitude of really good songs whose music was not written for the guitar but transposed exceptionally well to the guitar.
Another option is to simply go to your local music store and buy a classical guitar songbook. You'll probably be overwhelmed by the number of choices.
I know I keep talking classical guitar, but the reading of music notation translates directly to the electric guitar and for the most part is way easier on the electric since the finger reaches are much smaller and fretting requires less finger strength. I learned classical on my electric guitar for years before finally buying the classical guitar.
For the 2nd part of your question, I would have to ask why would you want to transpose to the guitar when there are thousands of pieces already transposed for you? If it is for practice then I would pick one that somebody else has already transposed that you like and then you can compare to see how well you did compared to the other person.
I find cello pieces lend themselves very nicely to guitar... and they can be quite an outside-the-box workout, as the intervals tend to be much wider than you might be accustomed to.
The Bach Suites for Unaccompanied Cello would be a great starting point: http://imslp.org/wiki/Suites_for_Violoncello_Solo,_BWV_1007-1012_(Bach,_Johann_Sebastian)
Basically anything that is not for piano should work fine. Piano music will give you trouble because the left and right hand often act independently. For instance, your left hand plays a chord while your right plays a melody. Without using some pretty advanced technique, this type of music is impossible. However, anything that is written for a different instrument (and indeed some stuff for piano) can be played note for note on the guitar.
I don't see any reason for the particular "not for guitar" aspect of the question though. Anything written in standard musical notation will not have any details specific for the guitar, even if it is a guitar piece. As long as it's not accompanied by tab, I don't see that the instrument will make any difference at all, guitar or not.
If you want to practice reading music, classical might actually be quite hard. If you want something easier, maybe grab a Real Book for lots of jazz standards, all without a lick of tab. Good practice for your chord voicings too.
Not all piano music should be counted out. Some piano music can definitely be played on the guitar with very few modifications. I transcribed some of Philip Glass' solo piano works on the classical guitar, in fact many of the Spanish guitar pieces that artists like Andres Segovia made famous were originally on the piano (like Asturias (Leyenda) by Albeniz).
Renaissance lute music (like John Dowland) can easily be played on a guitar by tuning your third string G down to F#, now reading lute tablature is another story...
I like violin music - especially Vivaldi and Bach concertos - for playing on the guitar, for instance:
Baroque music is great fun on the guitar since it's full of runs and repeated motifs which sound great (once you can play them at speed!).
Concertos are probably the best option since they're written for a solo instrument already, and are all about showing off; violin music is also straightforward to play since it's in roughly the same range as the guitar and the same key (so no transposition is needed).
However, I've also found trumpet music is also pretty good to play on the guitar, although the range is a lot smaller than violin pieces. Try some Arban pieces if you're feeling particularly masochistic.
Yes. Indeed. One book I've gotten a great deal of use from is The Dover Edition of Paganini Caprices for Violin (imslp). I'll give a run-down on the ones I've found playable.
Edit: I feel compelled to mention that my progress with these pieces was very slow and difficult until I read The Sor Method. Fair warning: it's a dense read. The translation is very "dated". I rather enjoyed that aspect, because it seems to lend more "weight" to the ideas. But that may make it less accessible to less erudite scholars. He tries to give a mathematical formula for everything he says.
But the sections on fingering are truly enlightening. He tells you how to go about choosing a fingering for any music. Knowing the theory lets you take off the training wheels of only playing Edited Guitar Music.

The Yamal LNG board of directors approved a final investment decision for the Yamal LNG project, including the construction of a natural gas liquefaction plant on the Yamal Peninsula.
The Yamal LNG board of directors approved a final
investment decision for the Yamal LNG project, consisting of
the development of the South-Tambeyskoye gas condensate field
and the construction of a natural gas
liquefaction plant on the Yamal Peninsula, officials said on
All of the relevant corporate approvals had been
issued earlier by Novatek (80%) and Total (20%), the current
shareholders of Yamal LNG. In coming months, China's CNPC will
conclude a deal to buy a 20% stake from Novatek.
The Yamal LNG plant will consist of three
liquefaction trains with overall capacity of 16.5 million tpy,
according to the company.
The start of commissioning works at the first
liquefaction train is scheduled for 2016, with the planned
commercial launch of the first LNG train in 2017.
The Yamal project also requires the construction of transport
infrastructure, including a sea-port facility and an
international airport located at Sabetta (north-east of the
Yamal Peninsula).
Up to 16 ice-class LNG carriers of special ARC-7
design will be used to effect year-round transportation of LNG
to international markets.
The Yamal LNG project is a transformative
project for Novatek and a key element in the overall strategy
to develop the natural gas resources on the Yamal Peninsula and
increase the output of LNG from Russia," said Leonid V.
Mikhelson, chairman of Novatek's management board.
"In a relatively condensed period of time we have
accomplished quite a lot of work with the project establishing a very good
base to move forward with confidence to implement our plans,"
he added.
As part of the project implementation, main tenders
have been completed and key contracts have been signed,
according to company officials, with the EPC contract awarded
to the joint venture of Technip and JGC.
Overall capital expenditures of the project are now
estimated at $26.9 billion, of which $2.6 billion have already
been financed by the shareholders.
As of Wednesday, the orders for long-lead items
(including cryogenic heat exchangers, gas turbines, and the
compressors for the liquefaction trains) have been placed;
eight (8) production wells have been drilled, more than 3,100
construction workers are already on site.
Additionally, preparation of the construction site
for the LNG plant has been completed, the piling of the
foundation for the LNG tanks has begun, the construction of the sea-port and
airport has reached an advanced stage, and more than 70% of the
expected LNG production output has been contracted.
The successful sanction of Yamal LNG
strengthens Totals global portfolio to sustain post-2017
production over the next decades and further increases our
presence in a high potential region of Russia in terms of gas
resources," said Yves-Louis Darricarrère, presdent of
Total's upstream business.
"Yamal LNG has made tremendous progress in recent
months and Total will join forces with Novatek by harnessing
all of its expertise and effort to deliver this top-tier LNG project within schedule," he

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Let us consider a boolean hypercube $C = \{-1, 1\}^n$. Let $S = \{x \in C \mid |\{i \mid x_i = -1\}| = \varepsilon n\}$ be a Hamming sphere in $C$ (here $\varepsilon$ stands for the fixed parameter from $(0, 1/2)$). Let us sample $X \in S$ uniformly at random. And we are interested in estimating $\mathrm{E}[X_1 X_2 \ldots X_{\alpha n}]$, where $\alpha$ is a sufficiently small constant.
We would like to argue that this expectation is somewhat close to $(1 - 2\varepsilon)^{\alpha n}$ (that could have been the case if $X_i$'s were independent).
Is there any way to avoid tedious computations here? It is tempting to say that $X_i$'s are "almost independent" and use some "limit theorem".
Or is it possible to replace $X_i$'s by properly correlated gaussians and argue that expectation doesn't change much?
After all, I feel that this question must be considered somewhere, so it would be nice to find an appropriate reference.

[Chicago] - Wilson Baiardo was first introduced in late 2008 to across the world, quickly earning the respect of stringers and players alike. Baiardo can now be found in speciality shops, pro shops, country clubs, national retailers, and on college campuses. Professional players have quickly adopted the quality and consistenty Baiardo. They look forward to having their racquets strung by the Wilson Stringing Team at events like the US Open, Australian Open, and Sony Ericcson Open. Below is a list of USA dealers who made the switch to Baiardo in 2010.
The most recent issue of Racquet Sports Industry contains a review of Baiardo that was too large to fit in one issue! The outstanding review can found in the current RSI magazine and the full review can be found online. The RSI review team concluded that Wilson has "developed a unique machine that does so many things no stringing machine has ever done before."
During the US Open a great deal of attention is given to the player's and their match highlights. Deservedly so. In this news piece, NY1 of New York City features US Open stringing team member Roman Prokes and his tremnedous service to the pro players. Also, Roman discusses Baiardo and the many advantages of stringing on the machine. Click on the link at the end of this article to watch the full video.
Wilson dealers in Europe began receiving their first shipments of Baiardo stringing machines late in April 2009. Word has spread fast throughout the continent about the many benefits of using the most advanced stringing machine on the market. Not wanting to be left out, and left behind, dealers from large pro shops and retail stores have jumped at the chance to be the first to use Baiardo.
[Australia] - Wilson dealers in Australia began receiving the first shipment of Baiardo machines the week of June 1st, 2009. Having seen what Baiardo can do at the Australian Open, dealers and tennis enthusiasts nationwide have been anxious to have the machines arrive to thier stores.
[CHICAGO] - Wilson dealers began receiving the first US shipment of Baiardo machines the week of June 8th, 2009. The much anticipated release of Baiardo has Wilson dealers across the country excited to be stringing on the industries most innovative and user friendly machine.
[CHICAGO] - Wilson Racquet Sports ha creado una revolucionaria nueva máquina de encordado llevando el proceso de encordado de raquetas al siguiente nivel.
[CHICAGO] –Wilson Racquet Sports has created a revolutionary new stringing machine taking the process of stringing rackets to the next level. Wilson will be conducting demonstration events for the revolutionary new Baiardo stringing machine at numerous locations this spring. Stringers are invited to experience the difference Baiardo machines have already made for pro stringers at the US Open, the Australian Open and many more pro tour events.

I said both but that's because I've been desensitized from reading/writing both (especially from writing code and adding quick comments).
My question: Is it acceptable to utilize either for a university paper? Or is one safer than the other (when confronted with stickler professors) ?

I have 20+ WP sites installed for clients on different web hotels. All WP-installs are updated to run latest versions of everything.
On some of my sites, the update- and install screens work as expected when I update or install a theme/plugin, the page updates and ends displaying the sucess/finished message.
On some of my sites however, these screens always just show the first line like "downloading package" (or something like that, you get the point), but then they never progress. It seems however that everything always gets installed updated as it should. Even when I do a batch update of more plugins.
It seems to be a hosting issue, as it's the same for all sites on the same host.
Does anyone have a hint at what it might be in the server configuration that is preventing these screens from updating on the progress?
