A web hosting control panel ,

A web hosting control panel is an online interface provided by the hosting company for the configuration, maintenance and monitoring of a website. Web hosting control panels usually include these modules:- Web site visitor statistics- Available and consumed web space and transfer (bandwidth).- Creation and configuration of databases, ftp accounts, email accounts, subdomains, domains, etc.- Access control for (parts of) the web site- Dozens of other modules depending of control panel usedPopular control panels are:- CPanel: Probably the most popular web hosting control panel. Many features, can be overwhelming.- Plesk: Similar to CPanel, almost as popular.- DirectAdmin: Less features as the two mentioned before, but also popular, and might be easier to maintain for a beginner.- Webmin: Free alternative, suited for maintaining a server with a single web hosting client.Using the command line instead of a control panel:- A web server (and - if a shell account is available - a web hosting account) can be configured and maintained without the use of a control panel. But even experienced webmasters will often prefer to use a control panel because it makes the day-to-day tasks of running a web site easier. No need to remember every single command. Using the command line for certain tasks is still possible even if a control panel is installed and running.Which control panel to choose:- I personally use webmin because I usually run servers rather than web hosting accounts. If I were to use a web hosting account my choice would be CPanel or DirectAdmin. CPanel because it is the most popular and there is a feature for almost every task. DirectAdmin because it is smaller and neater and also quite popular. I mention “popular” so often because I like to learn software only if it is sure to stay around. Also, if you use a “popular” control panel you are sure to easily find another host with the same panel when you’re changing your hosting provider which is something you’re going to do sooner or later. Finally, “popular” control panels are popular for a reason, many web hosting customers have voted with their feet. If you’re going to build your own web hosting company, CPanel would probably be the right choice. It will be easier to sell the company later on.

A suspected gas leak at an Australian farm,

A suspected gas leak at an Australian farm, which led to 15 firemen in two fire engines to rush to the scene, turned out to be the work of a flatulent pig.The farmer in Axedale, a town in Victoria in the south-east of the country, called the emergency services after believing he had smelled gas.But when the fire crews arrived, they found the real culprit – a 260lb sow the family's children kept as a pet.Fire captain Peter Harkins said: "When we got there, as we drove up the driveway, there was this huge sow, about a 120-odd kilo (265-pound) sow, and it was very obvious where the gas was coming from.“We could not only smell it, but we heard it and it was quite funny."He added: "She got very excited when two trucks and 15 firies turned up and she squealed and farted and squealed and farted."I haven't heard too many pigs fart but I would describe it as very full-on."However, despite the false alarm, Mr Harkins said the farmer had done the right thing by calling 000 (the Australian equivalent of 999). He told The Melbourne Herald Sun: "It's all bottled gas up here and a leaking cylinder could pose a major fire risk."It was because we took it so seriously that 15 volunteers still managed to attend the call out at 10.30 on Tuesday night.

The CDP Water Disclosure,

This report details the rationale for the Carbon Disclosure Project's new program, the CDP Water Disclosure, a new initiative that will help institutional investors better understand the business risks and opportunities associated with water scarcity and other water-related issues by increasing the availability of high quality business information on this critical issue.CDP Water Disclosure will provide a system for businesses to report their use of water and their exposure to changing patterns of water availability. Companies face risks such as lack of water impacting agricultural and manufacturing processes and the threat of regulation increasing prices and limiting the volume of water available to them. It is a vital tool for investors and businesses to be able to evaluate companies’ ability to operate successfully in a water-constrained world.The United Nations forecasts that by 2030 almost half of the world population will live in areas facing water stress or water scarcity. Less than 1 percent of the world’s water is easily accessible fresh water and the effects of climate change, increasing population, urbanisation, per capita demand, and pollution damage to supplies will put even greater pressure on these limited resources.CDP, an independent not-for-profit organisation, has gathered primary corporate climate change information from thousands of businesses around the world so that it can be incorporated into business and policy decision making. With the launch of CDP Water Disclosure it is using the same established system in order to tackle the increasingly vital issue of water scarcity.

The world's top golfer Tiger Woods,

The world's top golfer Tiger Woods has been treated in hospital after being hurt in a car accident outside his home in FloridaThe superstar crashed his 2009 Cadillac sport utility vehicle in Isleworth near Orlando in the early hours.It happened after he pulled out of his driveway at 2:25am , authorities said.The Florida Highway Patrol said Woods started driving along the road when his car struck a fire hydrant and then hit a tree.A local police chief said Woods' wife used a golf club to smash out the back window and help get the world's No 1 golfer out of the vehicle.Daniel Saylor said officers found the 33-year-old PGA star lying in the street with his wife, Elin, hovering over him.She told officers she was in the house when she heard the accident and "came out and broke the back window with a golf club."Woods had lacerations to his upper and lower lips, and he had blood in his mouth, Saylor saidWoods was taken to Health Central Hospital in Ocoee following the incident.Early reports said the star had been seriously injured in the crash.But later it emerged he had only suffered cuts to his face and was released from hospital after treatment.A joint statement from the hospital and Woods' office said: "He was admitted, treated and released in good condition" after being in a "minor" car crash.The highway patrol said the crash was still under investigation, and charges were pending. But it added that the crash was not alcohol-related.The airbags in the car did not deploy during the accident because he was travelling so slowly, police said.Airbags typically do not open if a vehicle is travelling at less than 33mph.Woods, who is married with two children, is is one of the world's richest sportsmen and by far the biggest draw on the PGA tour.He made a triumphant comeback on the tour this year after missing much of the 2008 season following reconstructive knee surgery.He was operated on shortly after clinching his 14th major title, the 2008 US Open.He did not win a major title this year but had a successful year capped by winning the season-long FedEx Cup.Woods' website said he is due to start the campaign for his fifth Chevron World Challenge title on Tuesday.The tournament's host, he won the event in 2001, 2004, 2006 and 2007 but missed last year's competition while recovering from his knee op.
