VoIP and UCaaS: The Differences Explained
Voice over IP (VoIP), the de facto business phone standard for years now, is using its software muscle to offer multi-channel features. This new format, dubbed Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS), takes your business phone to a whole new level. Here's how these new capabilities break down.
By Juan Martinez
When asked where they like to learn new coding tips and tricks, developers prefer to check out YouTube (41 percent) rather than turn to their manager for advice. Google Communities (36 percent) is the second-most used source for finding useful information. Only 19 percent of respondents said they go to their managers for coding advice.In fact, 61 percent of developers said their biggest frustration is with management making decisions without fully understanding IT components. So, yeah, don't expect your coders to respond well to managerial interjection. Lesokhin said this shouldn't really come as a surprise given that managers of coders typically don't do much coding themselves."I personally don't believe that the best managers are necessarily going to be the best developers or vice versa. They're two different skill sets. Some rare people have both, which is great, but I don't expect that to be the case."Plus, he said there's a pretty robust opportunity for developers to interact with experts on YouTube. And that the content on the video site is easily consumable, perhaps more so than an email from a manager might be."You'd want to work in an environment where the people around you are competent; that would be an attractive feature. You try to get your best developers to promote themselves online, answering questions. And [then] brandish some of that knowledge when you're hiring [new developers] to show that you've got super experts."
Most organizations are running their business phones through a voice over IP (VoIP) service provider. The management ease and cost savings simply trump old-style, on-premises PBX systems in most cases, especially for small to midsized businesses (SMBs). But VoIP providers haven't been sitting still. Since VoIP turns voice into software, these developers have been very busy evolving their platforms into multi-channel delivery systems, dubbed Unified Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS). That sounds complex, but it's really rather simple as long as you focus on what you need rather than the potentially myriad options providers might be throwing at you.
In this article, I'll explain what you'll get when you work with a typical VoIP service provider, including most of those selected by our readers in this year's PCMag Business Choice Awards for VoIP providers. I'll also cover what you'll get if your VoIP provider offers UCaaS. Before I get into the specifics, let me give you a simple breakdown of VoIP and UCaaS. I asked Curtis Peterson, Senior Vice President of Cloud Operations at business phone system provider RingCentral (24.99 Per Month at RingCentral) , to help distinguish between the two services.
"VoIP is usually just a voice service provider, inbound and outbound calls," Peterson explained. "UCaaS is basically looking at all business communications and putting them over IP or Internet Protocol. VoIP is a single mode. UCaaS is multimodal: texting, chatting, video conferencing, screen sharing, video meetings. But it uses VoIP to power the voice part."
Okay, so now that you have a basic understanding of the difference between VoIP and UCaaS, I'll break down what you'll get with each service.
VoIP Features
At its core, VoIP is a digital telephone service that uses the internet for transport and delivery of communications. You can make and receive calls from your internet connection via handsets as you would in most traditional office settings or via softphones (which are software-based applications). By taking advantage of the microphone and speakers in your desktop, laptop, or smartphone, you're able to conduct calls in the same manner as you would using a typical handset.
VoIP offers many of the same accoutrements as your telco service provider. You will be able to receive and listen to voicemail messages, and monitor calls via caller ID. Calls can be forwarded to alternate lines if someone isn't available to receive a call. Other features VoIP offers include auto-attendants, call holds, call logs, call monitoring, call recording, call transcriptions, dial-in conferencing, and number porting.
UCaaS Features
If you opt to go with a VoIP-only provider, then you'll be missing out on one obvious feature: video. With UCaaS, your service provider will let you also schedule one-on-one video calls as well as one-to-many video conferences. This may not seem like a must-have for smaller companies but, as your team scales and as you hire in different geographies, you're going to want to be able to conduct "face-to-face" video calls. With video conferencing and VoIP, you'll be able to do things such as conduct meetings with hundreds of attendants, share your screen with everyone attending, and even share and receive files to everyone on the call or to individual attendants.
UCaaS tools also let you chat and text message with coworkers on your plan. Why would you need this feature? Well, if you're on a video call with a client and your sales rep is speaking out of turn, then you can send her a private chat message to get everyone on the same page. This also lets your team members send chat messages rather than emails to discuss more time-sensitive and more casual interactions.
Some UCaaS providers allow for deep collaboration and group project management. This includes document sharing and simultaneous editing, to-do lists, shared calendars, and even joint file storage.
If you're one of those strange cats who still enjoys sending and receiving faxes, then some UCaaS solutions let you do so from your computer or mobile device (where the faxes will automatically be stored to your Dropbox or Microsoft OneDrive account). This feature also gives you better oversight into who is sending and receiving faxes, what they're faxing, and it will let you turn off junk faxes.
Perhaps the most important aspect of a UCaaS platform is its ability to integrate with third-party solutions to help you better pull in and export data from tool to tool. For example, if you need to call a customer and you'd like to access her records to improve your communications, then an integration between your Salesforce (75.00 Per User Per Month and Up at Salesforce.com) account and your UCaaS tool makes this incredibly easy. From within your Salesforce dashboard, you'll be able to launch the call, view the customer's interaction history, and add notes about what is being said during the call. With a Microsoft Outlook ($185.37 at Amazon) email integration, you can launch calls directly from within the body of an email.
Integrations are especially useful for companies that plan to use their UCaaS tool to respond to helpdesk tickets. Imagine giving your service reps the ability to make and take calls directly within the helpdesk console. Imagine giving them the ability to research customer interactions or add notes to customer records while on the call, and then tie this data back across your UCaaS, helpdesk, and customer relationship management (CRM) tools for later edification.
"Companies that are looking at plain VoIP solutions are losing out on the opportunity to put multiple communications tools together with a vendor and getting a discount to do so," said Peterson. That's because most vendors offer bulk discounts when you bundle all of your UCaaS tools together rather than cherry-picking communications tools across multiple vendors. Think about how you purchase your home's cable, internet, and phone service: the price of all three together is typically less than going with three different vendors for each.
Bundling also guarantees that each service integrates and reports back to one another without issue. "[But] if you have one provider for VoIP, one for video, and one for chat, you can't share analytics between them," Peterson explained.

Sorry JN, my computer hadn't updated and I didn't see your reply. It was a soccer ground. I was at that game too I think, huge crowd.
Newmarket Park was another good ground until it fell into the gully. Those national league games in the early-mid 70's would get 10000 spectators to watch the likes of Blockhouse Bay, Eastern Suburbs and Mt Wellington play each other. Plenty of ten pound poms back then.

Cheers mate. I seem to remember the name Finney was the pommie soccer player that my uncle took me to watch particularly

Blandford Park existed until 1964 before soccer moved to Newmarket Park
When Tottenham Hotspur toured in 1976 they played a FA XI at Newmaket Park - if I recall correctly they won 5-3.
It was the start of my "love affair" with the Spurs
According to Wikipedia Blandford Park
Located in Grafton Gully, northeast of Grafton Bridge, roughly between the northern part of Whitaker Place and the Auckland Bowls Club in Grafton Mews, it was razed in the mid-1960s, and its site is now occupied by on- and off-ramps to the Auckland Central Motorway Junction

Thanks HY.
Now I think about it the name Stanley Matthews comes to mind also.
I would have been about 7/8 years old when I went to the game. So about 1955 is my guess 🤔
Excuse me while I weep with nostalgia. Fark Eric Watson, I hope the FBI put him in Rikers Island.
Blandford Park is in the pic just to the top of Stanley Street on the right. but the stands must have been removed. They moved football to Newmarket Park about this time.
I went to Blandford Park once. I couldn't understand anybody, they all tarked foony!! Great atmosphere though, Poms know how to enjoy their sport live.
Newmarket Park was a disaster. It was on a bloody cliff and the council acted surprised when it fell off!!!

I remember Barrow in the 80s they had David Cairns, Steve Tickle, was it Ian Ball and Eddy Szymala (spelling correct) he was hard as nails and had arms like Popeye.
They use to play in packed stadiums. In those days trips to Cumbria were tough games.

He could play abit as well..when did he pass away
Eddie Szymala was your classic cult hero. There's nothing a rugby league fan loves more than a slightly unhinged 100% striver. As you say, arms like Popeye. Amateur game was always strong in Barrow, a lot of the lads in the team that beat Widnes would have been from the Furness area or from Millom on the opposite side of the estuary.
RLin the far North west was at its strongest in the fifties, Barrow and Workington each got to the challenge cup final three times, playing each other in 1955. Workington got to two championship finals in the fifties as well and in 1958 had four playing tourists, team manager Tom Mitchell and coach Jim Brough. I grew up on all of this, despite being born in 1960 I was indoctrinated by my maternal Grandad and my Dad to the point I almost felt I knew all the players.
The first game I can honestly remember seeing was at Barrow, sat in the stand with my Grandmother watching my Grandad who was touch judge that day
Reactions: Worried2Death and dean
You've got me started now. In the days when money in sport wasn't as important (nobody had any) what got Workington on the go was a complete visionary and maverick Chairman. His obituary from 1998 reads:
IF TOM Mitchell was not the most important single figure in the world of rugby league over the last 50 years, then he was certainly the most colourful. With his Old Testament white beard and his broad-brimmed hats, he was an unmistakeable presence and, across many different facets of the game, a hugely influential one.
A Cumbrian farmer who also worked for the Ministry of Agriculture, he first became involved in the sport when he joined the board of the newly formed Workington Town. They entered the Rugby League in 1945 and, under Mitchell's expansive leadership, which included bringing in players of the calibre of Gus Risman, quickly became one of the most successful clubs in the game.
He was too energetic and charismatic a figure to be confined to his native county. He was the team manager of the 1958 Great Britain tour to Australia, which was, at the same time, the most controversial and the most successful the Lions have ever undertaken. Mitchell, always proud to be regarded as "a players' man", took their side in a series of conflicts that led to near-mutiny. All was forgiven when they came home with the Ashes and a record of just one defeat on the whole tour.
He was chairman of the Rugby League in 1961-62 and afterwards revelled in being regarded as "The Godfather" of the game. Never afraid to go out on a limb, his was the one voice raised on the Rugby League Council in support of the British Amateur Rugby League Association when it was struggling for an autonomous existence in the early 1970s and others, with more limited agendas, wanted it strangled at birth.
In his autobiography, The Memoirs and Sporting Life of Tom Mitchell, published earlier this year, he also revealed more about a fascinating and varied life outside the sport he loved.
His work for the Ministry of Agriculture took him all over the world and he recalled meetings with the likes of Nikita Khrushchev and King Farouk. When Harry Edgar, then editor of the magazine Open Rugby visited him earlier this year, Mitchell, as well as insisting on arm-wrestling his younger guest, produced a piece of pottery given to him by Picasso, whom he had met on several occasions. "We had a mutual interest in ceramics," he explained.
Mitchell could be mysterious about the precise nature of his many trips abroad. His contemporaries on the committee that selected the Cumberland county side recall phone calls from him at four in the morning from Beirut, advancing the claims of one player or another.
He was the founder president of the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh and twice stood, unsuccessfully, for Parliament. His other sporting achievements included climbing the Matterhorn.
But rugby league was the great enthusiasm of his life, even if he became saddened by some developments towards the end of it - not least the decline of the club he had done so much to build at Workington. Keeping the club afloat, he said, had cost the Mitchell family "three separate fortunes". As recently as last year, he bailed them out again when debts threatened to close the club.
The activity that perhaps sums him up the best is the way that he raised money for a young Workington player, John Burke, who was paralysed after breaking his neck playing for the club. Mitchell also had his estate in Malta converted for wheelchair use, so that Burke could use it whenever he wished.
Thomas Mitchell, rugby league administrator: born Workington, Cumberland 16 May 1914; married 1942 Emily Wedgwood (one son, one daughter); died Workington, Cumbria 8 September 1998.

Pastor Adeboye revealed that he is willing to kill anyone who messes around with his wife, Foluke.
General overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, during one of his weekly morning devotion revealed how far he could go to protect his wife, saying he will kill anyone who tries to mess with her.
According to Adeboye, husbands and wives only have a single job on their hands and he says it is to have a successful union. He added that the wife should learn to be submissive to her husband while the husband's assignment is to love his wife.
He went on to say, people can do whatever they like to him in forms of criticism and insults but they must not extend it to his wife.
"You can do whatever you like to me, you can criticize me, you can insult me, you can trample on me, I will only pray for you. But if you mess around with my wife, I will kill you. I will kill you so thoroughly you won't even be able to rise on the resurrection morning. When people ask me how are you going to do that, I tell my daddy to send you to hell straight away," the man of God said.

What is forgiveness? How should humanists approach forgiveness so that it elevates our quality of life and strengthens our commitment to ethical living? Felix Adler wrote that "to forgive is not to forget – quite the contrary. To forgive is to remember the past action, but to remember it as belonging to the past, as the act of one who has since undergone the great change." Is he right? Hugh Taft-Morales explores the process of seeking and giving forgiveness in interpersonal relationships.
Hugh Taft-Morales serves as Leader of the Philadelphia Ethical Society and the Baltimore Ethical Society and is a member of the Ethical Action Committee of the American Ethical Union (AEU). Hugh taught philosophy and history for twenty-five years in Washington, D. C., after which he transitioned into Ethical Culture Leadership.

IT WAS an extraordinary moment when conductor Leonard Weiss took the podium last night at Llewellyn Hall to lead the combined forces of the Mannheim Youth Symphony Orchestra from Germany and the Canberra Youth Orchestra in a fiery performance of Tchaikovsky's last great Symphony the Symphony No. 6 in B minor, Op. 74.
Known as the "Pathétique" because of its Tchaikovsky's state of mind at the time he wrote it, and the sombre conclusion, this symphony proved the perfect choice for the combined forces of more than 120 young musicians.
There is a lot of potential for individuation among the instrumentalists in this work, making it a perfect showpiece, but they worked best together as when as in the opening movement, they performing the more dramatic elements of the symphony. Having said that, the fine players in the wind section effectively asserted themselves over the huge string component in the quieter sections.
This was a young orchestra, and it was a pleasure to see musicians swaying to the music with evident pleasure and immense physicality in the second movement.
It is curious how dark some listeners consider the "Pathétique" to be when you know that the composer considered it a celebration of the best in us. Weiss seemed to sense that, leading the musicians at breakneck speed at times and militaristic precision in the martial sections. But in the final movement he guided them sensitively to a more tragic conclusion that saw the musicians conclude in near silence.
The "Pathétique" may have been the central work on the program but it was by no means the only one, and was preceded in the first part of the evening under the baton of German conductor Jan-Paul Reinke, by three very fine performances by the visiting musicians.
Mendelssohn's overture, The Hebrides Opus 26, saw the musician produce a full-bodied sound full of urgent anticipation – a good opener.
There followed Weber's concerto for clarinet an orchestra in F minor Opus 73 performed by Mannheim clarinet soloist Rebekka Rebmann. After nervous moments at the start, this three- movement work was performed with fluid clarity and elegance, really picking up in the allegro section.
There followed a fine performance by young violinist Lukas Ringle, of "Nigun" (a reference to vocalising in Jewish chant) from Bloch's "Baal Shem". This was marked by extremes of passionate intensity and control.
Conductor Reinke, who appears to have gift of getting musicians almost jumping with joy, returned to the podium right at the end. You would have thought the Tchaikovsky was a hard act to follow but no, the entire combined orchestra gave us the opening bars of Strauss "Thus Spake Zarathustra", ending an evening of exciting music and an international collaboration to remember.

Inherent Vice captures an era of dark change in America with twisty, funny detective story
It sounded like staid material in 2009 for author Thomas Pynchon when he set a detective story called Inherent Vice in 1970, a time when Flower Power had faded, in Los Angeles, a city in the state that once defined the hippie movement. But Pynchon focuses on creating a marvelous morality tale with great humor and witty layers of experience, perfect for the author known for his postmodernist writing. The time period captures a mythic moment in American history. Ideas of utopia and slogans like "make love not war" that once defined a generation had been overshadowed by the hedonism of Woodstock, the horror of the Kent State shootings, the quagmire of Vietnam, not to mention the Manson murders, which are often referenced in the text. The post-war product of the baby boom were coming of age into an era of idealism and were then suddenly hit with disillusionment. Look up the definition of the phrase "inherent vice," and it seems a perfect title for a book seeking to examine the transition between the ideal 1960s and the grim reality of the early 1970s.
Now director Paul Thomas Anderson has adapted Inherent Vice, becoming the first director to take on Pynchon, an author whose works have often been called "dense" or "complex." Working for the first time from a novel instead of an original script, Anderson takes Pynchon's story and enriches it. After his amazing 2013 movie The Master (The Master harnesses cinema's power to maximal effect), the auteur once again takes on another mythic era of America to offer another superficial take on the cultural landscape that actually shrouds a compelling tribute to people looking for purpose in the face of nihilism.
Also for a second time in a row, Anderson is working with arguably the greatest American actor of the 21st century, Joaquin Phoenix. He plays Larry "Doc" Sportello, a private detective with a serious marijuana habit. Sporting momentous mutton chops to rival Hugh Jackman's in the X-Men flicks, Phoenix gives Doc an endearing bumbling character that sometimes feels like a tribute to Jeff Bridges' Dude in The Big Lebowski. Tasked by his ex-girlfriend Shasta Fay Hepworth (Katherine Waterston) to intervene in the looming kidnapping and institutionalization of her current lover, real estate mogul Mickey Wolfmann (Eric Roberts), by his wife Sloane (Serena Scott Thomas), Doc finds himself soon over his head. The story twists and turns as more people enter the picture and Doc takes notes in his little pad with big letters like "paranoia alert" and "something Spanish."
Throughout the film Doc suffers beatings and uncalled for detentions at the hands of his hippie-hating nemesis LAPD Lt. Detective Christian F. "Bigfoot" Bjornsen (a marvelously intense Josh Brolin). As the film's most dynamic character, Bigfoot is not just a straight-edge policeman with a disdain for hippies. He also fancies himself a renaissance man who moonlights as a bit actor on TV shows and even the real estate commercials for Wolfmann that slyly lampoon hippie speak while celebrating it. Wearing a bad Afro wig and sunglasses, he tells Doc, " Right on" from a TV screen before — in a moment of magical realism referring to Doc's high — his face fills the screen, and he says, "What's up, Doc?" At every turn, Bigfoot tries to undermine Doc or even arrest him. However, he is also an ally, like a big brother beating on a younger sibling. Though married with children, in a sly, comic dramatic twist, the film later reveals Bigfoot hardly has any love at home, and he and Doc have a bond that eclipses their differences. It's one of the greatest relationships you will see in the movies this year, and it gives this byzantine comedy its warm heart.
The film features voiceover narration by Sortilège, (a pleasantly benign Joanna Newsom), a friend of Doc's who provides the first cue in how this film presents its themes through its characters. The film opens with a stationary shot down the nondescript alley to Doc's beach shack he calls home. The title card reads, "Gordita Beach, California. 1970." It appears to be sunrise and the only thing on the soundtrack is the sound of the surf. Then there's a cutaway to a woman's face backlit by brilliant sunlight. As if born of the California sun, a golden glow shrouding her blond head of hair, Sortilège sets up the film's story. She says Shasta "came along the alley and up the back stairs the way she always used to." It's a surprise visit after over a year-long absence from his life. Though Shasta's entrance harkens to the past, somewhere around 1968/69, this is not the same woman. She arrives a changed woman "all in flat land gear … looking just like she swore she would never look." While Sortilège appears in a halo of light, Shasta sneaks in and emerges from the nocturnal shadows with a whisper.
Things do change in this world, as Sortilège notes after Doc and a friend join her to share some pizza and beer. She gets vibes that Doc's mind is racing about the unexpected visit of Shasta, a former intimate who had transformed in a way he never anticipated, so she recommends he do a little change. "Change your hair, change your life." When he asks her what he might do with his hear, she suggests, "follow your intuition." Then there's a smash cut to a close up of Doc's face with his hair in twists to enhance the curls of his already curly hair.
Change and surface presentation are a big part of Inherent Vice. Everybody is someone else below the surface or in a state of flux — well, maybe everyone except our protagonist Doc. It's a role that won't stand out much for Phoenix, which is a shame because he is terrific as a man caught in stagnation yet hoping for some connection. Some will find the developments in Doc's case confusing as characters enter and leave the narrative. Though other characters come in and out of the picture, there is always something unforgettable about them. Maya Rudolph (Anderson's wife) plays Doc's alert secretary, a very aware being never short observation. Owen Wilson plays a musician lost in his own myth, and there's even Martin Short who plays a dentist with a coke habit, a taste for young, runaway girls and nefarious connections to a drug cartel called "The Golden Fang." I've left out about seven to 10 other import recurring characters. But it doesn't matter. As the film falls further down a rabbit hole of narrative that will confuse many hoping to keep the story straight, the viewer should keep in mind that this is a detective story with a pothead hippie as the protagonist.
Beyond dialogue and characterization, as ever with Anderson, he never misses a chance to define his characters visually. Though The Master had an intensely measured pace and a precise mise-en-scène, consistently shot with an exquisite and meticulous quality by Mihai Malaimare Jr., Anderson has called back Robert Elswit to photograph his vision, and the result is not only wonderfully evocative of '70s era TV and movies but also speaks to the film's themes of the unknown change ahead. Much of the camera movement is handheld, and many scenes are shot against the light. On the other hand, there are scenes deeply saturated by shadow and darkness, especially as the film barrels through some more nerve-racking moments for Doc, as he gets deeper and deeper into trouble with more dangerous characters, from Aryan brotherhood bruisers to drug dealers connected with The Golden Fang.
As ever with Anderson, the music is brilliantly curated. The choice early in the film to not use some tired, overly familiar pop song from the era but an underground hit by the Krautrock band Can is inspired. I don't say this because I'm a big Krautrock fan. The song, in this case "Vitamin C," though not entirely accurate to the era (it was released in 1972) has deeper resonance because it represents a new form of music born of a need to revolt against the establishment, even if it came about in Germany. It also helps that it's a good tune, abstract yet catchy, involving enough standard rock instruments and a chirpy organ to be cool but quirky.
Anderson has also once again hired Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood to provide a score for the film. Greenwood provides a fantastic, sometimes romantic soundtrack that's very aware of the era it's representing, a sort of mix of Neu!, Soft Machine and Ennio Morricone. His music either features strings and oboe or quietly grooving rock instruments. It's spacey sometimes, and other times it's pastoral. As with the more subtle, earthy camera work of Inherent Vice, the music, from songs to score, is not as intrusive as it was in The Master. As great as the score for that film was, Inherent Vice is a movie concerned with a different tone, after all, something much lighter and less intense. Again, it all fits the theme of flux and an obscured core defying clear comprehension, reflective of the era and the people struggling in it.
Much as I love the deliberate, controlled artistry of The Master, even more so than this loose-limbed film, Anderson proves he is in terrific control of his approach, and it serves the story and it's deeper concerns very well. Inherent Vice actually features some of the most hilarious moments in an Anderson film since 1997's Boogie Nights, another film where Anderson explored the dark side of the 1970s. Both films tangle with humor, from slapstick to witty dialogue and an ironic sense of discontent not really apparent to the film's characters. It's ironic, but it all culminates with great affection for the film's hero and even his nemesis, Bigfoot. They are this film's terrific beating heart. Change is inevitable, just go with that flow and enjoy the ride… man.
Inherent Vice runs 148 minutes and is Rated R (expect drug use throughout, graphic sexuality, cursing and several violent encounters). It opens pretty much everywhere today, Jan. 9. Warner Bros. provided a DVD screener for awards consideration last year.

Q: Symfony: queryBuilder without mapped field it's possible to create a QueryBuilder in Symfony with fields that not appear in the Entity Class.
Something like this:
MyEntity Class:
 id, name, color
DB Table: id, name, color, number
And then, I'm triying to do this:
    $filterBuilder = $this->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager')
        ->getRepository('XXXXBundle:MiEntity')
        ->createQueryBuilder('o')
        ->select('o.number')
        ->..........
    ;

But I get this error:
Error: Class XXXXX has no field or association named number

A: In your case, you should still add an unmapped "number" proporty to your class, but if you insist, you can use a native query to fetch whatever you want from the DB.

Here is an example that selects all users with an age > 20 :
$query = $em->createQuery('SELECT u FROM MyProject\Model\User u
  WHERE u.age > 20');
  $users = $query->getResult();

As seen on Doctrine Query Language documentation page

After installing Memcached and php5-memcache packages and enabling the WP Memcache plugin I can see the memcache server is up and running, with around a 50% of hits.The memcache service is using 64 MB of memory:
# ps xa |grep memcached
12259 ?        Sl     0:01 /usr/bin/memcached -m 64 -p 11211 -u memcache -l 127.0.0.1

What I can see, though, is a high consumption of main memory and swap, and I'd like to know if this is normal. The server is idle most of the time (the test blogs are running, but no one nows about them so I'm the only visitor), so I can't understand why the memory and swap are so high.
#free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           927        906         21          0          6         58
-/+ buffers/cache:        840         87
Swap:          255        255          0

Any ideas?
Update: Seems Memcached is not the reason. I've stopped the server, the site is of course running, but the mem/swap consumption is still almost 100%. So there should be a problem, maybe with PHP-FPM or Varnish?
Update2: Seems PHP-FPM is the problem, look at this (thanks for the command, Tomtezky)

Seeing that... how to reduce PHP-FPM's memory use?

A: It isn't PHP-FPM, it's the Wordpress instance loaded in PHP-FPM. Limit the number of php-fpm workers, or trim down the memory footprint of your wordpress install.

It used to be an article of faith among investors that a bank was a safe investment, with earnings tied to steady growth in the home loan market and the prospect of a steady dividend flow. Not any more.
Evans & Partners has slammed Bank of Queensland in a review of its 2018/19 financial report, which was released earlier this month, and questioned whether recently appointed chief executive George Frazis is the right person for the job.
In a commentary titled "Transform or Die", Evans & Partners says it expects the bank's share price to fall from its current level around $9 to $8.
It says: "BOQ requires radical change. Yet we suspect it will receive the vanilla major bank revamp with some simplification, investment in digital capability and refinement of fulfilment processes.
"We think a small regional bank largely manned by executives from the [bank] oligopolies will struggle. The mindset is simply not right – more accustomed to defending rather than attacking.
"Its competitors are no longer the old banks, but rather the new legacy-free fintech offerings, which are sharper, better platformed customer-oriented enterprises that deliver more than a means to acquire shelter."
Evans & Partners says low rates will crunch the bank's margin and return on equity. The bank will continue to lose share to competitors and will have to spend heavily on technology.
It says: "BOQ has been discussed in the media and investment community as a potential player in regional bank consolidation. While cost synergies could be attractive, we think banking has moved on.
"The merger of two old world (technologically challenged) banks simply creates on old world (still technologically challenged) bank. BOQ needs a much more radical transformation… to avoid its Kodak moment."
BOQ delivered a 2018/19 financial report that Frazis described as "disappointing".
The bank suffered from slowing credit demand, higher regulatory costs and pressure on its margin from lower interest rates.
BOQ made a net profit of $298 million in the year to August – down 11 per cent on the 2017/18 result. Cash earnings were down 14 per cent to $320 million.
Net interest income was unchanged at $961 million and non-interest income fell 12 per cent to $128 million.
Non-interest income was hit by regulatory impacts on St Andrew's Insurance. It stopped selling consumer credit insurance during the year.
Operating expenses rose 4 per cent to $550 million. The bank has a cost-to-income ratio of 53.5 per cent.
The loan impairment charge increased 80 per cent to $74 million. Loan impairments were 16 basis points of gross loans and expenses.
The net interest margin fell five basis points to 1.93 per cent. Return on equity fell 120 bps to 7.7 per cent (8.3 per cent on a cash basis).
The common equity tier 1 capital ratio fell from 9.3 per cent to 9.04 per cent.
The bank reduced the dividend by 9 per cent in the second half.
Lending grew by $937 million, compared with growth of $1.5 billion in 2017/18.
Frazis says the bank needs to change the way it does business. "I'll be working closely with the board and senior executive leadership to develop and overarching strategy," he says.
He says areas needing attention include weak retail banking performance, slow and complex lending processes, high operating costs and the "digital gap between BOQ and peers".
A new mobile app and improved internet banking functionality has been developed for BOQ Specialist customers. In the retail bank, a new mobile app and digital banking platform will enter a pilot phase next year.
The bank is also working to tranform Virgin Money Australia into a digital bank. It expects to migrate transaction and savings accounts to a digital platform over the next 12 months.
The bank has acknowledged that it is having difficulty growing its branch network, some of which operates as a franchise system, because potential owner-managers are uncertain about the future of the industry.

THEBAULT INGENIERIE worked with STALAVEN on the construction of a salad production unit in Saint Agathon (Côtes d'Armor).
The challenge in the project
STALAVEN is a food group based in the Côtes d'Armor. To cope with growth in its business and with the lack of space in its existing premises, the firm decided to develop and build a second production site.
Our teams worked on the construction of the site with from the initial study phase the possibility of tripling production capacity if the business continues to grow. This project was based around a mixed salad production zone, an area for packing, storing raw materials and a pre-treatment unit for waste water.

Sorry, people who actually read the stuff I put on Facebook – it's this again. Here is tonight's rant, my subject: popular illnesses.
Why do you think that some illnesses have a better image than others? Oh? You don't? Well, take mental health. In 2014 in the U.K., approximately £115 million was spent on mental health research. You may think that is a large amount, but as approximately one quarter of us will have some experience of a mental health problem within a year that equates to around £10 – a couple of pints of quality real ales to you or me – per sufferer per year. Almost incredibly, the most common mental illnesses, depression and anxiety, get even smaller slices of the cake: £1.55 and £0.21 spent on researching those illnesses per sufferer.
Now an illness with a far better image is cancer. Each suffer of that has £1571 spent on research on their illness each year – over 150 times more money that is lavished on the loons.
Now before you make some weaselly defence of this, let's look at a better measure of a illness' social acceptability. Again these are figures from 2014 in the UK. For every £1 spent by the government on cancer research the public admirably donates £2.55. And donations for mental illness? Again for every £1 spent by the government researching mental illnesses the generous public donates £0.003 – less than half a penny.
Hope you get a socially acceptable illness, is my suggestion. Me? I have PTSD and chronic psychosis – I can assure you they are, most profoundly, of very little sport.
Right, I'm out from the desk, although I'll take the glass of Arlaud 1999 Clos St Denis from it as I bring you a leaflet with these numbers on for you to throw away. This data was reported by the Wellcome Trust (they paid me to do my DPhil) and is often used by the mental health charity Rethink Mental Illness (for whom I am a media volunteer).

Why Doesn't Honolulu Recycle More? - Honolulu Civil Beat

Why Doesn't Honolulu Recycle More?
Government contracts, geography and economics make it difficult to increase recycling on the island.
By Claire Caulfield / July 13, 2020
Civil Beat · What Happens To Honolulu's Recyclable Paper and Cardboard?
Henry Gabriel found his life's calling while elbow-deep in a trash can.
Growing up in Northern California, his mother took him to sports stadiums after the game ended to collect aluminum cans from under the bleachers and trash cans to sell to his local redemption center, earning a quarter for every pound.
"As an 8-year-old making $80 in one season, I'm thinking 'OK, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life'," he said.
He translated that passion into a career, and is now recycling program branch chief for the Honolulu Department of Environmental Services. And although he now oversees entire waste management systems, his interest in inspecting individual garbage cans hasn't waned.
"I go to a neighbor's house and I'm like, 'Oh my gosh they're putting polystyrene in the blue bin,'" he said, revealing a disconnect: people want to recycle much more than Honolulu can facilitate.
Workers pull plastic off of a conveyor belt at RRR Recycling Services Hawaii. Only a few kinds of plastic are recyclable on Oahu. Cory Lum/Civil Beat
Civil Beat's environmental podcast "Are We Doomed?" has received dozens of questions about why Honolulu doesn't recycle more goods. The latest episode puts these reader-submitted questions to Gabriel.
The list of what you can recycle on Oahu is short, especially compared to cities in California or Japan: No. 1 and 2 plastics, office paper, newspaper, brown paper bags, glass jars and bottles, metal cans and corrugated cardboard — that's the thick kind with a "zig zag" between the sheets.
Download a printable guide to recycling in Honolulu here.
It comes down to economics: recycling is a business and, like other businesses in Hawaii, recycling companies face many higher costs than companies on the mainland.
A large part of the recycling business is watching market prices around the world. A business in California might have the ability to fill a warehouse with bales of recyclable office paper until prices are higher. Real estate prices in Honolulu force companies to clear out warehouse space regularly, Gabriel said.
Storage space is also why Honolulu doesn't collect plastics Nos. 3 to 7. These plastics don't have high market prices, so recycling companies in Honolulu would need to stockpile large amounts to offset the cost of collecting, sorting and shipping the plastics.
"We're also isolated," Gabriel said. "We can't put recyclables on a train to consolidate them with a neighboring state."
Jim Nutter, president of Island Recycling, shares in the desire to recycle more items.
"We do live in a limited world … and eventually we're going to run out and we need to be able to understand that and do things now for the future," he said.
But after more than three decades in the industry, he doesn't think broader recycling options will be available in Honolulu without government action.
His main complaint is with a federal law that requires items shipped between U.S. ports be transported only on ships constructed in the U.S. and owned and crewed by Americans.

The Trash That Fuels Oahu's Power Plant Is Vanishing As Fast As The Tourists
"It's just a lack of competition more than anything else," he said of the 100-year-old law, known as the Jones Act. "There's only two shipping lines that come into play."
And then there's Honolulu's relatively high rate of contamination. In the recycling world, contamination doesn't just mean that the recyclables are dirty, although that is the reason you're supposed to rinse out your recyclables. It refers to non-recyclables mixed in each "bale" of recyclables.
"These are specialty mills, they don't convert between one product to another product," Nutter said. "Cardboard is made back into cardboard. Newspaper made back into newspaper."
A bale made mostly of corrugated cardboard fetches a high price, while bales of corrugated cardboard with a high proportion of cereal boxes, to-go boxes and pizza boxes will fetch a lower price, or might not even be accepted.
The city's investment in waste-to-energy is also a disincentive to recycling more items.
"If we were going direct to landfill then chances are there would be a lot more sorting up front to try and divert as much as we can from the landfill," Gabriel said.
Instead the city has agreed to deliver 800,000 tons of trash a year to H-Power, an incinerator in Honolulu that generates 8% to 10% of the island's electricity. But the city regularly falls short on the 800,000-ton obligation, and has paid more than $6 million in fees since 2013.
It's why Liliha resident Cora Yamamoto has been throwing all her paper and cardboard in the trash, even though when she lived in Virginia she happily spent a lot of time sorting out her recyclables.
"I've been trying to convince people to put their paper in the gray bin because it makes more and more economic sense," she said. "Although I'm not sure whether that makes the most ecological sense."
H-Power emitted more than 3 million metric tons of CO2 equivalent in 2018. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, that's the same as driving an average passenger car more than 8 billion miles.
Recycling isn't without its faults. All those garbage trucks and shipping vessels emit CO2 and other pollutants. And recycling facilities in developing countries that accept American waste often have detrimental effects on the local environment and human health.
"The recycling business and the supply chain are currently making a lot of promises that things will change and things will be different but they made those promises in the 80s," said Roland Geyer, a professor of industrial ecology at the University of California Santa Barbara. "And things haven't changed."
Despite his many complaints about the environmental impacts of recycling, Geyer still encourages people to recycle because converting existing glass, paper, plastic and metal into new products still has a smaller impact than cutting down trees, converting fossil fuels into plastic or mining metals.
"Most people think that recycling is all about diverting waste from landfills," he said. "But the main environmental benefit of recycling is pollution prevention."
"Are We Doomed And Other Burning Environmental Questions" is funded in part by grants from the Environmental Funders Group of the Hawaii Community Foundation and the Frost Family Foundation.


Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that destroys thinking skills and memory, which can reduce the ability to carry out even the simplest task. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia among older adults. Dementia is commonly known as a loss of cognitive functioning including thinking, reasoning and remembering. This loss of function can have an extreme impact on a person's daily life, and can progress over a long period of time. Therefore, two primary concerns for agricultural workers diagnosed with Alzheimer's are (1) remaining productive and (2) overall safety because of memory loss, language problems and unpredictable behavior.
Early signs and symptoms—Memory problems are typically one of the first warning signs. A decline in other cognitive aspects such as vision, word choice, impaired reasoning or judgment can also be early indicators of the development of Alzheimer's disease.
Mild Alzheimer's disease—As the disease progresses, memory loss worsens and changes in cognitive capabilities are evident. Problems include getting lost, mishandling money, repeating questions, taking longer to complete tasks, and using poor judgment.
Moderate Alzheimer's disease—Damage occurs to the brain that controls language, reasoning, conscious thought and sensory processing. Difficulties include coping with new situations, carrying out tasks with multiple steps, inability to learn new things, or failure to recognize friends and family members.
Severe Alzheimer's disease—Individuals may not be able to communicate and are dependent on others for their care.
Explain that Alzheimer's disease is not a normal part of aging but a disease of the brain that results in impaired memory, thinking and behavior.
Share educational information on Alzheimer's disease or invite family and friends to attend Alzheimer's education programs.
Be honest about being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and allow other family members to do the same.
Assure friends that although the disease will have life changing effects, enjoying their company is still very important.
Let family and friends know when and how their help and support may be needed.
For an employee, an employer must know about an Alzheimer's diagnosis to ensure that appropriate tasks are assigned throughout the progression of the disease. As an employer diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, it is important to communicate with employees or family members who assist with the business about how to maintain continuity of day-to-day operations.
Become well informed. Connect with programs that teach families about practical and flexible strategies for dealing the difficulties associated with Alzheimer's.
Develop a long-term strategy for working and managing the farm.
Use code words, such as marking a calendar with a.m. after doing morning chores and p.m. after doing evening chores.
Create work tasks and activities that can be done working together or in a group.
Stay active. Continue doing activities like gardening, dancing, painting, volunteering, and playing sports or card games because you will benefit from the mental and social stimulation.
Ask for help with things such as paying bills, doing chores, and doing lawn work.
Utilize memory aids such as labels on drawers, to-do lists, notebooks and sticky notes.
Develop large clearly written signs with step-by-step instructions to complete tasks.
Use photos or pictures to refresh long-term memory.
Take safety measures by installing safety rails where possible. Lock specific doors to prevent access to hazardous areas.
Limit access to dangerous areas or items such as pesticide storage areas, flammable liquids, stairwells, and ladders.
Use simple safety signs like "STOP," "HOT" or "WATCH YOUR STEP" as attention reminders.
Keep items in familiar locations.
If operating equipment is no longer feasible, hire a farmhand or local co-op to do the work for you.
Six out of ten Alzheimer's sufferers will wander.
Wandering is especially dangerous for people who live and work in agricultural environments where they can come into contact with large equipment, confined spaces, manure pits, and other bodies of water.
A program called "MedicAlert®+ Alzheimer's Association Safe Return®" is available for families with wandering concerns. It is a national identification program designed to assist in the return of those who wander and become lost.
Most cell phones have a GPS feature that can be viewed online, so if you think a loved one is lost you may be able to track him or her yourself.
Keep a list of places where the person may wander to, such as past jobs or daily chores, former homes or a church, restaurant or locations of past daily routines.
Tries to "go home" even when at home.
Checks the whereabouts of familiar people.
Acts as if doing a hobby or chore, but nothing gets done (e.g., moves around gardening pots and dirt without planting anything).
Feels lost in a new or changed environment.
Control access to vehicle keys, including farm equipment (to prevent a person with dementia access to a vehicle).
Ensure all basic needs are met (toileting, nutrition, thirst).
Carry out daily activities, such as folding laundry or preparing dinner, to provide daily structure.
Reassure the person if he or she feels lost, abandoned or disoriented.
Avoid busy places that are confusing and can cause disorientation, such as shopping malls.
Do not leave someone with dementia unsupervised in new surroundings.

 Using Stones for Personal Growth. Tourmalated Quartz: Commitment.
Tourmalated Quartz is clear quartz that contains long, thin crystals of black tourmaline within the larger quartz crystal. A quartz crystal may have only a few thin tourmaline crystals growing inside it, or it may be filled with them and look quite black and almost opaque. It is intriguing that tourmaline and quartz should combine together in this way, because they have a common unusual characteristic in that they are both piezoelectric materials, that is, they respond to pressure by creating an electric charge.
The vibrations emanating from the crystalline structure of Tourmalated Quartz interact with your personal energy to strengthen Commitment. It strengthens the ability to be committed to someone or something, to make a promise in earnest, a promise you intend to keep. A commitment is a strong intention to work toward a specific goal and carry it through to its completion. It is a promise to put energy into something you consider worthwhile. When you make a commitment, you set a goal and take on the responsibility and obligation of putting as much energy as necessary into meeting that goal.
If you are good at commitment, not only can you make a promise, but you can also keep it. You know when to commit and when to avoid making a commitment. Others see your word as your bond because they know you only commit to things you feel are worthwhile and that you know you can complete. Because you understand commitment, you are also good at recognizing another person's level of commitment in a particular situation.
Any commitment you make is a commitment to yourself because you are always a part of it. When a commitment also affects another person, such as a commitment to a relationship, the commitment is made to the other person as well as to yourself. Committing to someone gives you a strong sense of mutual purpose, and builds a bond which inspires you and propels you forward to fulfill the purpose.
There are two parts to commitment: The first is being able to make a commitment and carry it through. The second part is knowing when it is wise for you to make a commitment and when to avoid making a commitment. You only have a limited amount of energy, and not everything that crosses your path is worthwhile taking on.
If you have trouble with commitment, you stay uninvolved in many areas of life because you don't like to be pinned down. You often hesitate to commit to things because you are not sure whether you can complete them, and this makes you feel isolated and withdrawn. When you do make a promise, you often have trouble keeping it because you misjudge how much energy is required, and you simply get bogged down by the burden of it all.
To practice making worthwhile commitments, become sympathetic to a cause that you feel is truly beneficial or worthwhile, and volunteer to help with it by putting energy into it in order to make a real contribution to the cause. In choosing a particular cause, evaluate how good a cause you think it is, and how worthwhile or beneficial it would be for you to put energy into it. Look at the genuine need of the cause, what the cause really needs in order to accomplish its goals. Then determine what you can contribute, and how much energy you are willing to put into it. When you volunteer to commit your time and energy to something you know is worthwhile, you also strengthen your ability to make commitments in general.
You can also enhance your ability to commit by becoming more aware of what commitments use your energy efficiently and get good results, and what commitments just waste your energy. Look at the bottom line and evaluate the results you can potentially achieve, and compare that to the cost, in terms of energy, that you would have to put into achieving those results. The wisdom you gain from this will help you develop an awareness of what is worthwhile taking on, and what is merely a waste of your energy. When you know what is the most worthwhile use of your energy, you also know what is worth committing to, and this knowledge helps improve your ability to make stronger commitments.
If you really believe that your energy input can make something beneficial happen, then it is easy to commit to it. To know what you can really make happen, think in specifics about the positive things you could achieve if you knew you could do everything exactly right. This makes you aware of what you really believe you can do, and helps you use your maximum potential to "make a difference". You can only feel optimistic and committed to something if you believe you can make a difference by taking it on.

My parents have a Mini Cooper. They also have a mini Australian shepherd named Cooper. I'll say this, though it is obvious, the dog is named after their car.
As a programmer, one of the worst things in the world that I would ever be allowed to do is name a child. Being my parents' kid, I've definitely got their sense of pun names. Furthermore, all programmers have a tendency to name things in funny ways. For instance, GNU stands for GNU is Not Unix, in which GNU stands for GNU is Not Unix, in which GNU stands for ... we all see where this is going.
Luckily for my as yet unconcieved child, programmers stick to acronyms and I'm not a hippy, so Charles Oscar Cooper Kleven will never have to worry about having as an unusual first name as Starchild or Moon Unit (though that's a girl's name. Given my given name, Koos, I won't feel so bad passing on the pain.
So far, the best named piece of code that I've created is called Observant Lumberjack. For the nerds, it is a class that implements the observer pattern for the purpose of logging events.

Exeter brothers are world champions
Willis Reinhardt aims downrange(Connor Magliozzi)

OLD TOWN, Maine (WABI) - Two Maine brothers continue to sharpen their skills every day even after adding the prestigious title of world champion to their resume.
Payson and Willis Reinhardt are back in Maine after winning their divisions in the International Bowhunting Organization World Championship.
This achievement has been a long journey for both.
"I began archery when I was 11 or 12 years old, I got my first bow, and through coming in here and meeting new people, I've learned about competitive archery," said Payson.
To be able to compete at such a high level requires the dedication of themselves and their family.
"Our parents, mom, dad, have taken us everywhere. For years, they've taken us all over the country. They've taken us to Vegas once for a shooting tournament," said Willis.
This includes the second family they've made at the range.
"It's amazing. It's great to have great people to shoot with, and that's the biggest thing when it comes to getting better at archery is to have good people surrounding you that will help to improve you," Payson added.
While they're working to make each other better, there's still a bit of a sibling rivalry.
"I mentor him. He teaches me basically everything I know, and since he's teaching me everything, I know we compete all the time. And I'm just as good as him, and we're good at competing against each other," Willis went on to say.
Moving forward, they'll continue to train so their careers can stay on target.

"New understandings have led to an expansion of Essential Oils use, beyond mere chemistry, into ever subtler, vibrational, intuitive approaches that explore realms of consciousness and wholeness.
Aromatherapy, the fastest growing alternative healing method in the United States, is an effective and enjoyable way to find and maintain well-being. While its concepts are intuitive, few people realize that scientific proof exists for many of the uses of aromatherapy.
Sharing your favorite Young Living products may feel natural to you, but you may encounter roadblocks along the way. It's difficult to know what you don't know. Committing yourself to a state of constant learning is a good place to start. For Royal Crown Diamond Gretchen King-Ann, it wasn't until she began really focusing on duplicating her efforts and sharing success strategies with her team that she realized something very important: the most valuable asset to an oil user is an open mindset.
It's about you, your baby, and essential oils. Discover the best times and situations for using certain oils, which ones you may want to avoid (or use sparingly), and the best pratices for applying them to yourself or your infant.
On May 22, 2016 as I was praying, God put it onto my heart to use the oils and breath to develop a very simple meditation for people who are in grief & distress. During my daily prayers I started to receive affirmations and prayers along with specific essential oils they should be used along with.

Q: How to install multiple packages? How would I got about installing multiple packages in R?
I tried the following code:
install.packages("EIAdata", "gdata", "ggmap", "ggplot2","gridExtra","ISOweek","kobe","lubridate","maps","MASS","memisc","pander","plyr","psych","Quandl","quantmod","reshape2","rgeos","Rgnuplot","RODBC","scales","sp","sqldf","stockPortfolio","stringi","stringr","XLConnect", "xlsReadWrite","zipcode")

This code works:
install.packages("ggplot2")

Why won't the line with the multiple packages work?

A: Here is a sweet  suite of data science packages
You will also need to pay attention to make sure you're not using different styled quotation marks that are sometimes created in text editors if you're using a foreign language.
$ R
> install.packages(c("remotes","readxl","googlesheets","haven", "readr", "rio", "Hmisc", "sqldf", "jsonlite", "XML", "httr", "quantmod", "tidyquant", "rvest", "dplyr", "purrr", "reshape2", "tidyr", "magrittr", "validate", "testthat", "data.table", "stringr", "lubridate", "zoo", "editR", "knitr", "officer", "listviewer", "DT", "ggplot2", "ggiraph", "dygraphs", "googleVis", "metricsgraphics", "RColorBrewer", "sf", "leaflet", "ggmap", "tmap", "tmaptools", "mapsapi", "tidycensus", "glue", "rga", "RSiteCatalyst", "roxygen2", "shiny", "flexdashboard", "openxlsx", "gmodels", "janitor", "car", "rcdimple", "foreach", "scales", "plotly", "highcharter", "profvis", "tidytext", "diffobj", "Prophet", "feather", "fst", "googleAuthR", "cloudyR"))
If you're installing from CLI R will say --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- and after a couple of seconds a GUI will pop up and show a list of global download mirrors.
If you're using the latest version of R you might get a warning that certain older packages aren't available for your R version which you can choose to ignore, find newer packages or use an older version of R.

Warning message:
  packages 'editR', 'rga', 'rcdimple', 'Prophet', 'cloudyR' are not available (for R version 3.4.2)

The compressed .tgz files will be downloaded somewhere like /private/var/folders/2k/p756_j5x0x5fqplwrq74j1sh0000gn/T/RtmpMTzQQ5/downloaded_packages
Actual packages located in /Users/tymac/Library/R/3.4/library and /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/3.4/Resources/library.
You can view packages a couple of other ways.

*

*Open R app/console

*--> Help --> Html help

*Reference --> Packages

or

*

*Open RStudio

*--> Help --> R Help

*help area

*--> Reference --> Packages

A: Elementary:  form a vector via c(...):
 install.packages(c("EIAdata", "gdata", "ggmap", "ggplot2")) # rest omitted

so that you have one first argument of length > 1.
Personally, I prefer install.r from littler so I'd do (at the Unix command-line):
  install.r EIAdata gdata ggmap ggplot2    # rest omitted again

Note that there is no limit to the number of arguments. It was just easier for me to write this with four packages than the 20-some from your example.

A: # Here we have a list of packages we want to install

load.lib<-c("EIAdata", "gdata", "ggmap","ggplot2","gridExtra","ISOweek",
"Kobe","lubridate","maps","MASS","memisc","pander","plyr","psych",
"Quandl","quantmod","reshape2","rgeos","Rgnuplot","RODBC","scales",
"sp","sqldf","stockPortfolio","stringi","stringr","XLConnect",
"xlsReadWrite","zipcode")

# Then we select only the packages that aren't currently installed.

install.lib <- load.lib[!load.lib %in% installed.packages()

# And finally we install the missing packages, including their dependency.
for(lib in install.lib) install.packages(lib,dependencies=TRUE)
# After the installation process completes, we load all packages.
sapply(load.lib,require,character=TRUE)


Hi ya guys, how's your Saturday going? If mine is going anything like I want it to be, I'm laying out by the pool at a resort in Conroe, a stone's throw from a big lake just outside Houston.
But I'm probably also thinking about what I'm going to eat for dinner, a thought I have frequently since so much of my life revolves around the pleasurable glee I take from consuming mass quantities of food.
You might be wondering what you're gonna have on your plate tonight, too. If you're in the mood to cook something, either tonight or any night, but want to keep things simple, allow me to assist!
Today's recipe isn't really as much of a recipe as it is an idea of what to throw together in a snap. I grabbed some organic chicken sausage from the store recently, it's made without all those chemicals and preservatives and even came with poblano peppers and cheddar cheese ground up inside. I decided to slice each link in half and throw them on my stove-top grill (an outdoor one is even better!).
Pair this with some fresh asparagus, steamed lightly in the microwave or on the stove-top, then drenched in fresh lemon juice and a wee bit of garlic salt and grilled for a few minutes. So tasty and healthy.
Next, I cranked open a can of organic black beans and heated them on the stove with a couple dashes of Cholula hot sauce for an added kick.
Last, but not least, I threw together a fresh salad with chopped onion, carrot and tomato, grated pepper jack cheese, vinaigrette dressing, fresh ground salt and pepper and croutons. Dinner's ready!
If it is half as good as it LOOKS....it is a winner!! You make it all look so easy! Hope you are having fun in the sun!
That looks so yum! I'm having a hard time eating meat right now so not sure that would be a good idea for me but it looks amazing!
I wanna hear about La Toretta!

Abstract Intense competition in the service industry has led service firms to developan increasing stream of new service products, of which, the life cycles arebecoming much shorter than ever. This recent change in the servicebusiness environment has required operations and marketing functionsto be integrated more closely. Creation of the integrated and collaborativeinterface between these two functions has been reported as a challengingtask, nevertheless is crucial to a firm's performance. Therefore, thisresearch empirically studied the impact of communication andcollaboration between operations and marketing on new service productdevelopment and potentially, better business performance.
