IDMSDBAN messages 599702 and 599703 not necessarily mean broken chain.
When an IDMSDBAN report issues 599702 and 599703 messages, this typically means that there are broken chains on the database. This is a form of corruption that UNLOAD/RELOAD will either abend on or not function correctly. But there is one exception.
When IDMSDBAN issues 599702 and 599703 messages, it normally means there is a broken chain.
These messages indicate problems with CALC set chains. It means that a record which is in the CALC chain of page 38858467 should be in the CALC chain of page 38855467.
IDMSDBAN calculates the target CALC page of CALC records, and if the result is not the same as the page on whose CALC chain the record resides, then it issues the above message. Neither CALC set chain is really "broken".
In this case, if OPT00093 is in use, an UNLOAD/RELOAD should be able to handle the corruption and fix the database.

THREE LIONS BOOST
England World Cup injury update: Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Ashley Young to be fit for Sweden clash
Gareth Southgate had a number of injury concerns following Tuesday's epic penalty shoot-out victory over Colombia
By talkSPORT
5th July 2018, 1:24 pm
England have been boosted ahead of Saturday's World Cup quarter-final against Sweden with news Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Ashley Young are expected to be fit to play.
England were given a rough ride by Colombia on Tuesday, but kept their heads to win
The Three Lions had a number of injury concerns following Tuesday's epic penalty shoot-out victory over Colombia, which sealed their place in the last-eight.
Manager Gareth Southgate joked that his dressing room was "like a scene from M*A*S*H*" following the physical, ill-tempered encounter against the South Americans.
Alli was substituted in the second-half after struggling with a thigh strain that kept him out of group games against Panama and Belgium, while Young picked up an ankle injury.
Captain Kane had a slight back problem after a number of tussles with Colombia defenders, Kyle Walker suffered from cramp and Jesse Lingard also picked up a knock.
But, according to Sky Sports, all have responded well to treatment and there are no fears from within the England camp over their availability for Saturday's game against Sweden in Samara.
The Three Lions squad are set to take part in a private training session on Thursday, after only half of their players took part a light recovery session back at the Repino training base on Wednesday.
Jamie Vardy is the only serious doubt for the quarter-final showdown.
Vardy is an injury doubt for Saturday's game against Sweden
The Leicester City striker was a late substitute against Colombia and fans were puzzled when he did not step up to take a penalty.
It was later revealed he had suffered a groin strain during extra-time, which led to him to have an injection immediately after the match.
Speaking on Wednesday, Southgate played down fears over his team and seemed at ease about their fitness ahead of the Sweden game.
"I think he's fine," Southgate said of Alli, who was replaced by Eric Dier in the 81st minute against Colombia.
"We felt it was probably a good time to try solidify a little bit and with hindsight it was probably a good thing that he didn't go to extra-time because that would have put him at a bit more risk.
"So, hopefully he's come through it OK.
Southgate led half his England squad in a light recovery session on Wednesday
"We have got to check a couple. I think Kyle's is cramp.
"We've got to check Ashley's, which is more of an ankle. Vardy feels a bit with his groin.
"You never know with cramp whether that is just cramp or something a little bit more.
"But that will take a good 36 hours. We are probably a little bit behind on our prep but we will judge that."
Fabian Delph has also given England a timely boost by returning to the group after travelling home for the birth of his daughter.

With the draft set to kick off Friday night, it's time to reveal my 2016 mock draft. There will likely be a handful of trades leading up to the draft as well as on the draft floor, but this mock is done without trades for obvious reasons.
This is a no brainer. The Leafs have been searching for a franchise center since Mats Sundin and are able to grab one with the top selection. Matthews lit up the Swiss league last season, and put up 9 points in 10 games at the world championships.
The Jets have perhaps the most impressive crop of young forwards, both at the NHL level and in the prospect pipe line, and probably need to add depth to the defensive corps. That being said, they are absolutely not going to pass up a chance at Laine. He is good enough to play in the NHL next season, and certainly closed the gap on Matthews when it comes to the consensus first pick label. Laine excelled in the Finnish league last season and was named MVP of the World Championships this year. He fits nicely with Nik Ehlers and Mark Scheifele on the Jet's top line of the future.
The Jackets snag the other Finnish winger with the third selection. Puljujarvi didn't play at the worlds but was dominant at the world juniors, where he played on a line with Laine and Sebastian Aho. Columbus has done a nice job building their blue line in recent years, but is still dealing with bad contracts and no movement clauses throughout the forward ranks. Puljujarvi's addition will help to brighten that picture a bit.
This is where it gets interesting. I fully expect Oilers to move down into the 6-8 range, but if they keep the pick I can't see them passing on Tkachuk. Even with a loaded forward corps he is the best pick for the Oilers at 4. Tkachuk put up over 100 points in under 60 OHL regular season games this year, and also put up over a point per game at the World Juniors. While he can light up the scoreboard he also plays with a bit of an edge, which is a characteristic Peter Chiarelli is known to appreciate. Bringing in the Memorial Cup winner also gives Edmonton more options when it comes to acquiring that blue help via trade.
The Canucks have quite a few holes to fill and I think Jim Benning will opt for the big power forward over the best defenseman available. Benning has spent a lot of time eyeing up Dubois this season, and it's hard to blame him; Dubois put up 99 points to go along with 112 PIMs this season. Dubois also fits the heavy style that the Pacific Division's main contenders love to play.
The Flames could really go anywhere at #6, but the recent acquisitions of Jyrki Jokipakka, Dougie Hamilton, and Oliver Kylington lead me to believe they'll go with a forward. Calgary is in good shape down the middle but could use some reinforcements on the wing, which leads me to Nylander. He acquitted himself well in his first junior season with 75 points, his speed will allow him to fit in nicely with Johnny Gaudreu and Sean Monahan.
The Coyotes have done a wonderful job building one of the deepest prospect pools in the league when it comes to forwards. They also have a nice group of young defensemen at the NHL level, led by Oliver Ekman-Larsson. With Zbynek Michalek and Nicklas Grossman on the wrong side of 30 and no blue chip defensive prospect in the system John Chayka will look to augment the defensive corps. There are differing opinions as to who the best defenseman in the draft is, but I think Arizona will tab Chychrun. Although some have concerns in regards to his decision making, his physical ability is undeniable. Chychrun will likely spend another year in Sarnia, but should become a solid top 4 defenseman in the desert.
I think the Sabres would be very happy with Juolevi at 8. He's a solid all around defenseman that can play a shutdown role but also has offensive ability. From a positional standpoint he's a perfect fit for the Sabres as a left handed shot who plays on the left side. Another year in London is likely the plan for Juolevi regardless of who selects him, and his likely NHL arrival in 2017-18 would coincide nicely with the expiration of Cody Franson's contract from a Sabres standpoint. Looking forward he looks like a nice partner for fellow Finn Rasmus Ristolainen.
This makes too much sense for Montreal, as they are fairly weak down the middle organizationally. Brown feels that need perfectly with his 6' 6" frame. Despite not being overly physical for a player his size, he is a handful below the goal line and should only become more comfortable using his body as he gets older. He had a solid year in the OHL and acquitted himself well at the U-18 Worlds; while he has another year or two at the junior level the hope for Montreal will be that he forms a nice 1-2 punch down the middle with Alex Galchenyuk.
With Francois Beauchemin and Brad Stuart both 36 the Avs are in need of young blood on the blue line; if they trade away Tyson Barrie that need is multiplied tenfold. Sergachev is likely the best available defender on the board at #10, though some concerns about his maturity level. Sergachev's biggest asset is his skating, and he uses it to be effective at both ends of the ice. He averaged nearly a point per game with Windsor last year, but also racked up 56 PIMs in 57 games.
The Devils will look to the goal scoring North Dakota commit to inject some youth into an aging group of forwards. Jost racked up 42 goals and 104 points in just 48 games in the BCHL last year, so there's certainly no denying his offensive ability. Jost likely won't be long for North Dakota, as he projects as a solid top six forward for the Devils.
I went back and forth between McLeod and Jake Bean here, but ended up going with McLeod. Even with the likes of Turris, Zibanejad, and Curtis Lazar in Ottawa I think McLeod is still the best pick here. McLeod plays more of a power game as compared to the three other Senators, He has the size and skill to play the wing if need be, but I feel the role of power center is one that still needs to be filled in Ottawa and McLeod is perfect for it.
Carolina has done a nice job building its blueline, and now it's time to address the forwards. Apart from Jeff Skinner the 'Canes are weak on the wings. Max Jones is a nice fit at 13, and the power forward would play a role not currently occupied on the Hurricanes' roster. He is a direct player who gets to the net at any opportunity and also plays a physical style, racking up 106 PIMs in only 63 OHL contests.
Despite grabbing a defenseman with one of three first round picks last year the Bruins further solidify the blue line here. I have the local kid, Charlie McAvoy, over a player like Jake Bean. McAvoy is a little bigger than Bean and plays a tad more physical. He was able to adapt to the college game pretty seamlessly, racking up 22 assists and 25 points in 37 regular season games with the Terriers. McAvoy will likely spend at least one more season in college before making the jump to the pros.
The Wild could go in any direction with this pick, but I think the value in a player like Bean at 15 is too much to pass up. Bean is a terrific offensive defenseman, amassing 64 points in 68 WHL games last season. Bean will likely have to add a few pounds of muscle, but his arrival in Minnesota would come at a perfect time, especially with Jonas Brodin's future uncertain.
The Wings are now woefully weak down the middle, especially with Pavel Datsyuk heading back to Russia. Keller is certainly the best center available, despite being ony 5' 9". He is an offensive dynamo, with 107 points in 62 games for the U-18 team. Keller will still only be 17 when he is drafted, so there's certainly enough time to add some weight, and possibly an inch or two, but when Keller is ready he immediately becomes a big piece of the puzzle in Detroit.
The Preds are set on the blue line and are solid down the middle, so David Poile will look toward the wings. Nashville has had success with Swedes before, and will look to Asplund to continue the trend. While playing mainly as a center, he is also able to play on the left side. Asplund is already playing in Sweden's top league, and also performed very well at last year's World Juniors. He plays more of a finesse game rather than a power game, so wing may suit him better in the NHL.
Ron Hextall and the Flyers have done a nice job building a solid group of young defensemen, sonow is the time to fortify the wings. Gauthier is a power forward who excels at both ends of the ice and has drawn comparisons to Rick Nash. While I am leery of prospects from the "Q" due to the style of play, I think Gauthier can adapt at the next level.
Bellows is another talented power forward who put up 50 goals last season. There are a few concerns, though. Many teams feel his skating needs improvement, and others also believe his shoot first mentality needs to be changed. Bellows is slated to head to Boston University in the fall, and should spend at least two season there to round out his game.
The Coyotes take their second defenseman of the night with Fabbro. He is an outstanding offensive defenseman, as evidenced by his 53 assists in 45 BCHL games. Some scouts have drawn comparisons to Tyson Barrie, and if they are correct he would be a steal at 20.
Tufte played 25 high school games sandwiched between 27 games in the USHL. Tufte is already 6' 5" and over 200 pounds, and toyed with high school competition, putting up 47 goals and 78 points. He is committed to Minnesota-Duluth for next season, but should be ready for Carolina in a few seasons.
Clague was thought of much higher of before he struggled in the first half of last season. He broke all of Dion Phaneuf's bantam scoring records before getting to Brandon, and rebounded nicely in the second half of the season and playoffs. Despite the early season hiccup, he still managed 43 points in 71 games.
Stanley is a beast a 6' 6"and 225 pounds. As expected, he uses his size well and plays a very physical game. His offensive game is slowly coming along, but it's unlikely he becomes a powerplay defenseman. When he's ready to make the jump from the OHL he will fit nicely in the role vacated by the recently traded Erik Gudbransson.
Rubstov is easily most mysterious prospect in the draft. When seen, scouts have been extremely impressed with the 18 year old, the only problem is that he hasn't been seen much. Rubstov was part of the team withdrawn from from the U-18's due to the meldonium scandal, and he didn't suit up at word juniors, so viewing has been limited. The Ducks are in a spot where they can afford to take a flyer on the talented, but unknown, Russian.
Gustavsson spent the majority of time with Lulea's U-20 squad last season, but did make it up to the big club. He's not a big goalie by today's standards, but at 6' 2" is big enough. The Stars' goaltending issues have been well documented, and Gustavsson is the best available option in the draft. He has a contract with Lulea that runs through 2017-18, so there's a few years for him to develop before coming to North America.
The Caps' window to compete for the Cup will still be open for another season or two, and are in no need for immediate help from their current prospects or the one they'll get with this pick. With that mindset, it may be a case of best available rather than positional need. That leads me to Howden, who has nice size for a centerman and captained Team Canada at the Hlinka tournament this season.
Despite the impending departure of Steven Stamkos the Lightning are in decent shape, as evidenced by their playoff run. They are, however, likely to lose either a defenseman or goaltender in the expansion draft. With that in mind, Cholowski is the pick. There are varying opinions on the defenseman; he ranges from a mid 1st round grade all the way to late 2nd round grade. He'll head to St.Cloud State to develop his game at the NCAA level.
Moverare saw action in four games with HV71's SHL team, but spent the majority of the year with the U-20 team. He's likely to spend a few years in Sweden before coming to North America.
Thompson is a big center that put up a solid 32 points in 36 games as a freshman at UConn. Thompson should be ready for the professional ranks in a few years.
Steel also struggled in the beginning of the year but had a very nice second half. Steel as the last pick of the first round represents good value for the Ducks.

Sakkalin auch Zakkarinth (Sakkarin, Sakharine, Sackarine, Zackarine oder Zacharine, ursprünglich Kham Suk; voller Thronname Somdet Brhat Chao Maha Sri Vitha Lan Chang Hom Khao Luang Phrabang Parama Sidha Khattiya Suriya Varman Brhat Maha Sri Sakarindra Ridhi Dharma Varman; * 16. Juli 1840 in Luang Phrabang; † 25. März 1904 ebendort) war zwischen 1895 und 1904 König des Reiches Luang Phrabang. Er ist insbesondere bekannt durch seine Einwilligung, das Königreich Luang Phrabang zu einem französischen Protektorat zu machen.

Sakkalin war der älteste Sohn von König Oun Kham und dessen erster Frau, Prinzessin (Sadet Chao Nying) Sri Ambali (Simphali), und wurde bei Hofe ausgebildet. Er wurde später als dritthöchster Würdenträger des Reiches mit dem Titel Raja Varman versehen, als der er die Streitkräfte von Luang Phrabang 1874 bis 1877 während des ersten Invasionsversuchs der Ho anführte. Auch bei deren zweitem Versuch, Luang Phrabang zwischen 1885 und 1887 zu überrennen, war Sakkalin Oberkommandierender, doch musste er diesmal fliehen, als die Ho die Hauptstadt Luang Phrabang einnahmen und plünderten. Er musste sich eine Zeit lang, wie sein Vater Oun Kham, in Bangkok aufhalten, wurde jedoch im April 1888 zum Regenten ernannt.

Infolge der militärischen Drohung Frankreichs willigte Sakkalin am 3. Oktober 1893 ein, das Königreich Luang Phrabang zu einem französischen Protektorat zu machen. Am 15. Dezember 1895 folgte er nach dessen Tod seinem Vater offiziell auf den Thron und wurde am 14. Juli 1896 in Luang Phrabang gekrönt. Auf Veranlassung Frankreichs führte er mehrere wichtige Reformen durch, u. a. die Abschaffung der Sklaverei und die Gleichheit aller Individuen vor Gericht.

Sakkalin war mehrfach verheiratet:
 Königin (Somdet Brhat Rajini Akkhara Maha Sri) Dungdi (Thong Di), † um 1948 ohne Nachkommen
 Königin (Somdet Brhat Rajini Akkhara Maha Sri) Dungsiri (Thong Si), Tochter eines hochrangigen Prinzen und Staatsministers

 Prinzessin (Sadet Chao Nying) Kamani (Khamune)
 Prinzessin (Sadet Chao Nying) Kanthi (Chanthy), jüngere Schwester der Königin Dungdi
 Prinzessin (Sadet Chao Nying) Kamapiri (Kham Pin)

Sakkalin starb am 25. März 1904 an Gehirnschlag und hinterließ zehn Söhne und sieben Töchter:
 Prinz (anga Sadet Chao Fa Jaya) Rangsiri (Rangsi), verstarb früh
 Prinz (anga Sadet Chao Fa Jaya) Khao (Sisavang Vong), Nachfolger seines Vaters
 Prinz (anga Sadet Chao Fa Jaya) Varman Kaeva Sri Salusakti (Vong Khieo Sisaleumsak), * 1885, † 1969

Fat Princess is one of the rare examples of how you can have a good teamplay-based game on the PS3 that doesn't involve modern guns or soldiers. Even though it didn't turn out to be such a good seller, it still holds some great qualities that can make it worth your while and definitely a game to keep you playing for more than just a few rounds. It doesn't matter if you find a server full of experienced players or are trying to learn the ropes with other folks, it's still a fantastic experience.
The game is set in a medieval world, and has a cartoony look to it that makes it resemble some classic animated TV shows. The basic premise is simple – it's a Capture the Flag game, only in this case instead of a flag you're using a rather overweight princess. Your team is split up in various classes, each with their own strengths and weaknesses – players coming from games like Team Fortress 2 may find the idea similar – and some of them need to cater to the princess's needs, while others are tasked with fighting the enemy.
One of the team's common goals is to feed the enemy princess with cakes, which makes her grow fatter – this makes it much more difficult for her team to get her back to their base once you've captured her and started moving her on the way to your own. The gameplay is very intense and varied, and the different classes should keep you entertained for long enough – as soon as you get bored of playing, you can just switch to another class instead of leaving the game.
Graphics and System Requirements
The engine used has been developed for the game specifically, and handles its job quite well – the cartoony, exaggerated art style of the game is presented really nicely, and all the colors are vibrant and contrasting, making it easy to locate the important gameplay objectives, while also giving you enough detail to keep your eyes pleased.
We can't talk about requirements here obviously, and the game's framerates shouldn't be questionable to you either – considering it's only developed for one platform and its derivative, the optimization thrown in is enough to keep it running very smoothly at all times, even during intense battles. On top of all that, the HUD (heads-up display) makes a throwback to the good old days of games like Zelda, and the overall style of the game is reminiscent of those times a well.
If you're playing the game on the PSP, you'll actually get to enjoy several new additions to it, like game modes, levels, and some customization options. This shouldn't mean to you that the PS3 version is lacking though – quite the opposite, both are more or less equal in the overall level of enjoyment they can deliver, it's just that the PSP version came out a bit later and the developers have had a bit more time to throw in some extra content.
It may look like a kids' game, but underneath the bright cartoony looks lies a deep game with solid gameplay that has the potential to become your next favorite if you enjoy online team-based games.
Just a warning to those who are curious on this game: Do NEVER ever spend real money on it, unless you spend time to make sure you know every little intricate detail of the game rules. My story will tell you why: A group of 5 people at work decided to play the game "Ikariam" (also from Gameforge) toge...

Q: Jquery to create html tables with dictionaries entries in td I'm basically a javascript/html noob, please bear with me. Previously, I created an html table with jinja2. The row values were from a list of python key - value dictionary i.e.
rows = [{"category": "categoryA","region": "west", "count": 2},
        {"category": "categoryB","region": "east", "count": 3},
        {"category": "categoryC","state": "ny", "count": 3}]

{% for row in rows %}

   {{row}}

{% endfor %}

which renders the column details as expected:

Currently, I'm working with ajax and want to create a similar table with jquery, but the values are not being parsed correctly:
html += '
'
jQuery.each(rows, function(idx, row) {
   html += "" + row + "	"
})
html += '
';

the cells with the dict e.g. {"category": "categoryC","state": "ny", "count": 3} is rendered on the html table as [object Object]:

How to render such dictionary as values when creating the html table in JQuery?

A: You must use JSON.stringify() to display like string
html += '
'
jQuery.each(rows, function(idx, row) {
   html += "" + JSON.stringify(row) + "	"
})
html += '
';

A: To get the same text representation of the object as before, try JSON.stringify(row)

A: [object Object] is caused by a program outputting Object.prototype.toString() somewhere, you should use JSON.stringify() to make the objects appear as they shoudl:
let rows = [{
    "category": "categoryA",
    "region": "west",
    "count": 2
  },
  {
    "category": "categoryB",
    "region": "east",
    "count": 3
  },
  {
    "category": "categoryC",
    "state": "ny",
    "count": 3
  }
]

let html;

html += '
'

$.each(rows, function(idx, row) {
  html += "" + JSON.stringify(row) + "	"

})
html += '
';

A:

        data = [{
            "name": "categoryA",
            "value": "west",
            "prop_type": 2
          },
          {
            "name": "categoryB",
            "value": "east",
            "prop_type": 3
          },
          {

            "name": "categoryC",
            "value": "ny",
            "prop_type": 3
          }
        ]

        object = JSON.parse(data),
                    array = Object.keys(object).map(function(k) {
                        return object[k];
                    });
                   var mainObj = array;
                   var k = '
'
                   for(i = 0;i < mainObj.length; i++){
                       k+= '
';
                       k+= '' + mainObj[i].name + '	';
                       k+= '' + mainObj[i].value + '	';
                       k+= '' + mainObj[i].prop_type + '	';
                       k+= '
';
                   }
                   k+='
';
                   document.getElementById('tableData').innerHTML = k;

The Secret Garden – A Novel and A Feeling
Sep 14th, 2020 | By: Isabel Maas
"Sometimes since I've been in the garden I've looked up through the trees at the sky and I have had a strange feeling of being happy as if something was pushing and drawing in my chest and making me breathe fast."
– Frances Hodgson Burnett, "The Secret Garden"
A childhood classic piece of literature, "The Secret Garden" is a tale about nature and everyday magic. Two children, who both begin the story sick, in different ways, find a forgotten garden locked behind a hedge and bring it back to life. While tending the garden, however, it becomes part of the magic that brings them back to life.
To my mind, and likely to those of many others who read the book, the term "secret garden" revives an amorphous sensation as strongly as it does memories of the actual story: an impression of childhood wonder and secrecy, of swirling green and red, the warmth of sunshine and cool of morning dew, wrapped in the comforting beauty of seclusion.
In this article I'm going to discuss that feeling and why it is particularly hard for city dwellers to achieve (yet important to do so). And for those striving to find a secret spot in their own cities, I'll give you a head start at the end with a selection of a few of our locals' favorite secret gardens in some of their cities.
The magic of the secret garden
"It was because it had been shut up so long that she wanted to see it. It seemed as if it must be different from other places and that something strange must have happened to it…"
Why does the sight of a door in a wall leading to an unknown place create such a delicious feeling of adventure?
Children and adults alike need a place they can call their own, where they can nurture and form their surroundings. Whether it be a home or a garden, this private space allows people to process their thoughts quietly, away from observing eyes. In our secret spaces, we can rest or engage in favorite activities. And for some people, including the children in the story, it becomes a place of healing, through nurturing something outside of themselves.
This is something I only realized recently, looking back on the story. Reading it as a child or young adult left me with a nice tale of two children reviving a sleeping garden and an impression of secret spaces and magic. As I grew up and began to analyze what I read more closely, however, I realized that the true beauty of the story lies in the magic of the garden, and its power to revive them from their sleepy lives.
In the story, one of the children is a "contrary" girl named Mary, who has never had a friend or heard a loving word in her life. The other character, Colin, is a boy who was told from a young age that he was sick and would die in childhood, and spends all of his time shut into a dark room wondering when it will happen. When Mary finds the garden and begins to embrace the world of living green things, and tells the boy who only thinks about dying about the life out in the world,
"… they both began to laugh over nothing as children will when they are happy together. And they laughed so that in the end they were making as much noise as if they had been two ordinary healthy natural ten-year-old creatures—instead of a hard, little, unloving girl and a sickly boy who believed that he was going to die."
Tending to the garden, talking about the slowly unfurling rosebuds and chattering animals, brings them out of their unhappy inner worlds for the first time. This process, and the feeling of magic that accompanies it, has incredible power over their minds and in turn their lives.
The trouble with cities
For Mary and Colin, seclusion is not a difficult thing to achieve, as they live in the British countryside and are surrounded by empty fields for miles around. But in the big cities of modern life, finding a spot of green that feels even a little bit private can be very difficult.
I've lived in big cities all of my life, and have rarely lived within walking distance of a public forest, let alone empty open spaces. Sometimes when I am in my current habitat of London and look out of my window at the traffic and unforgiving concrete and glass surroundings, I long for a moment of solitude, and more than anything the magic of having a bubble of completely private space. As Sophie Dahl writes in an introduction to the novel, "In secret places we can think and imagine, we can feel angry or sad in peace. There is something to be said for just being, without worrying about offending anyone."
This feeling might be impossible to achieve completely in modern cities. There will always be a neighbor behind a thin townhouse wall; while sitting in a public park there will always be some other people and houses in your sight. However, there are rare, hidden gems of green spaces and gardens scattered in the corners of some of our world's cities, and they are well worth finding.
A selection of secret gardens
Whenever I stumble across an article about a "secret garden" on the Spotted by Locals city blogs, I feel that rush in my heart; the feeling I got from reading the novel, that yearning for a place in my city that in a way could be just for me.
I would encourage every city dweller to find that secret space where they can simply exist, perhaps nurture a small plant or project, and be without observation. The feeling of the secret garden, which can exist simply in small everyday moments that hold that magic of secrecy and wonder, holds such value for self-reflection and healing.
If you haven't found that place yet in your city, here I have collected a few in Europe, the Middle East and North America to give you either a place to start, or the inspiration to discover your own hidden garden. Enjoy!
Yaakov Garden, Tel Aviv
Image by Sheilla Safra Maler
In almost every season, Yaakov Garden fills with the sweet, soothing smell of the flowers that make the garden come alive. Built originally in 1964 and recently renovated, it has two garden levels with preserved giant Ficus trees that are thousands of years old.
Our local Tel Aviv Spotter Sheilla admits that "my intentions for this spot were to keep it as a secret forever". It's a safe, unique little place you can escape to if the Kikar Hatizmoret garden is overloaded with people, with a cup of tea from Loveat café, listening to the relaxing water in the fountain. Luckily, she decided to share it in the end, so check it out if you are in the city and need a moment of solitude.
Torel Garden, Lisbon
Image by Claudio Carneiro
This is probably the most secret garden in Lisbon. That is, everyone in Lisbon knows it exists, has an idea where it is located, but most have never actually been here. Although it is rarely completely empty, you'll likely catch a few moments of peace and solitude.
Entering Torel Garden feels like stepping into a sacred garden. Beauty arises around you as you pass through the main entrance. The fountain, the Egyptian statue, the green walls, everything is perfect. The garden is located on a hill, gorgeously planted with trees and with the nicest seats a garden can have. Also, the views from the garden are fantastic, as most views over Lisbon are.
Dunbar's Close Garden, Edinburgh
Image by Anson Clark
Just meters from the hive of activity that is Edinburgh's Royal Mile, there are tiny gardens that are great for a quick escape to recharge your batteries or enjoy your lunch in silence. These gardens branch off of the area's 80 or so narrow lanes, or "closes", evidence of its medieval beginnings.
Local Spotter Anson's favorite is Dunbar's Close Garden, located near Canongate Kirk. The gardens have been laid out as they might have looked in the 17th century when the area was one of the wealthiest parts of the city. You are almost guaranteed to have it all to yourself. Grab a coffee from one of the Royal Mile coffee shops and enjoy a few moments of peace and quiet.
Square de Montsouris, Paris
Image by Cristina Tatarinova
In the south of Paris, in the 14th arrondissement, lies spacious Park Montsouris. Even though it is located not far from the famous Parisian catacombs, it is rarely visited by tourists, making it a wonderful spot off the beaten track. What is even more delightful is the secret street called Square de Montsouris.
Outside, you might stumble upon a gorgeous rose bush hanging in full blossom from behind a fence on a pretty cobbled street. Entering Square de Montsouris and walking past its ivy-covered houses feels like going to Wonderland. It was built in the 1920s in art nouveau and art deco style and hasn't changed since. A perfect example of hidden Paris, it is not disturbed much either by people or by cars. Enjoy walking here quietly, slowly, inhaling the delicate fragrance of roses.
Dalston Eastern Curve Garden, London
Image by RachelH_ (via Flickr)
Hackney is well-known for being one of the greenest Boroughs in London. The range and quantity are both impressive, and from football pitches to historic parks, there are spaces to satisfy many different cravings. If you are searching for a (semi) secret green space, however, there is a little oasis at Dalston Eastern Curve Garden, tucked away on what used to be an old railway line.
Describing it really won't do it justice – it's small, there are birch and hazel trees, butterfly bushes, herbs and fruit and veg and little sculptures and odd bits of art here and there and a beautiful glass house called the "Pineapple House" – but it is so much more than just that, thanks to the incredibly urban setting. Dalston itself is always incredibly busy, but wandering into the Garden feels like you have entered another world.
Snug Harbor, New York
Image by Paula Ryszkiewicz
The grounds of Snug Harbor Cultural Center on Staten Island were originally a home for retired sailors. Nowadays, it has been repurposed to house museums, a community theater, classrooms for the arts, elegant event venues, and beautiful botanical gardens. Most areas of the grounds are free to enter and explore.
One of the best aspects of the center are its extensive and varied botanical gardens. From Tuscany to China, the gardens find inspiration around the world. There is a mysterious "secret garden" hidden in the hedge labyrinth. In the summer, the peony garden is a riot of color, blooming in every shade of pink and purple. On the other hand, the blossoms in the white garden make the perfect background to wedding photos in the spring.
Villa Aldobrandini, Rome
Image by Alexandra Turney
The secluded little park of Villa Aldobrandini sits high above street level, overlooking the shopping street of Via Nazionale. It feels like a haven from the crowds and traffic; a peaceful place to rest in the shade and rehydrate from the fountain. The park is filled with fragments of statues, adding to the mysterious atmosphere of the place.
Villa Aldobrandini can simply provide a respite from the sun, but it also gives you a unique perspective over Rome. From its south end you have great views over Piazza Venezia and the surrounding architecture. And while you admire the sights, keep in mind that you're also literally standing on top of history: the park was originally a private garden, built in 1566 on top of the remains of an ancient Roman building.
Épitészpince, Budapest
Image by Claudia Leporatti
At the core of one of Budapest's biggest districts lies a yellow courtyard and a garden covered with ivy, decorated by baroque statues and covered by a cobblestone pavement. This is the location of Épitészpince. Since 1954 the building here, called Almássy Palace, has been the headquarters of the Association of Hungarian Architects. It's described as an "open house" where artists and architects can meet and merge with society.
The courtyard and its basement are occupied by the Architect Cellar bistro where you can order lunch or drinks. The location makes it one of the finest hidden gems in the city. Rarely crowded, it generally has a secluded vibe but can get buzzy at lunchtime, when it's frequented by architects of the association who you might be able to meet and chat with.

What is the ISO Directory of consumer interest participation?
As part of its strategy to engage consumer stakeholders, the ISO Committee on consumer policy (ISO/COPOLCO) has developed the ISO Directory of consumer interest participation as a platform for representatives of national standards bodies, consumer associations and their stakeholders to research and share information about consumer interest involvement in ISO's standards and policy work. The Directory's content is built on data bases managed by the ISO Central Secretariat, with additional data provided voluntarily by members of ISO/COPOLCO.
The Directory is designed to provide a real-time, transparent profile of consumer interest participation in the ISO system. It aims to facilitate networking among consumer representatives, promote stakeholder engagement capacity for all ISO members, enhance transparency of ISO's consumer involvement, and share related information among interested persons. The information contained in the ISO Directory of consumer interest participation is publicly available, except for personal data of contact persons (at COPOLCO members' discretion).
COPOLCO members provide information on various categories of consumer interest participation in their country through an on-line, password-protected input form. The data can be updated at any time through designated administrators in each organization. COPOLCO members that have provided this data will appear at the top of a list of "Country case studies" on the home page of the Directory, in order of last member update.
For each country case study, first-level headings appear for five categories of consumer interest engagement: Delegated organization, International participation, Consumer priorities and objectives, International/regional cooperation, and Resources.
Headings and data for each country appear only where the COPOLCO member has provided relevant data. Additional categories and their data appear below each member's entry.
In addition to the country listing, a contextualized search function with a "search as you type" filter allows the user instant access to the entire contents of the database.
For questions, please contact us at copolco@iso.org.

Q: Android - What is the best way to intercept the intent fired to launch into an activity after being killed by the LMK? I'm working on an Android app and I'd like to run some code during app launch, specifically in the case that we launch directly into an activity.
The problem we're seeing appears to be happening when the LMK kills our app's process; when a user re-launches the app, Android sends us straight to the activity that was on the top of the stack, but the code I want to run doesn't run in this case, which results in crashes later.
The part that complicates things is that it is important to know which activity is being launched since that changes how our setup code runs.
I'm noob'ing my way around and trying to set up an ActivityMonitor (doc) but it's not firing. This code that actually initializes and adds this monitor to the instrumentation does execute, but the onStartActivity callback is never called.
I did the following:
Instrumentation instrumentation = getInstrumentation();
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter();
filter.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);

ActivityMonitor monitor =
    new Instrumentation.ActivityMonitor(filter, null, true) {
        @Override
        public Instrumentation.ActivityResult onStartActivity(Intent intent) {
            // Get name of activity to be launched
            // Run set up code
            startActivity(intent);
            return new Instrumentation.ActivityResult(0, null);
        }
    };

instrumentation.addMonitor(monitor);

Questions:

*

*What does this intent look like when the system is re-launching an activity after the process has been killed? Does it have a category of Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER?

*Can IntentFilters work if they only have a category associated (ie, no activity class)?

*Is there anything else obviously wrong here? I'm not the greatest Android dev, so looking to learn something here.

A:
What does this intent look like when the system is re-launching an activity after the process has been killed?

It will be the same Intent that was used to start the activity in the first place.

Does it have a category of Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER?

Only if the Intent that was used to start the activity in the first place had that category.

Can IntentFilters work if they only have a category associated (ie, no activity class)?

Not really.

Is there anything else obviously wrong here?

In terms of the code shown in the question, Instrumentation is used by testing, not by production apps.

Android sends us straight to the activity that was on the top of the stack, but the code I want to run doesn't run in this case, which results in crashes later

Then put that code in the activity. Or, set up your app to support lazy-initialization of this stuff.

The part that complicates things is that it is important to know which activity is being launched since that changes how our setup code runs.

Then put that setup code in the activity. Or, set up your app to support lazy-initialization of this stuff.
You are welcome to use something like Application and onCreate() for quick initialization that should occur for whatever reason your process was created. However, if your activity is dependent on something specific to that activity, that logic belongs in that activity (or in classes utilized by that activity, such as a ViewModel).

Hubert Kairuki Memorial University (HKMU) was established in 1997, being among the first private universities to be accredited in Tanzania in the year 2000, it has since then received local, regional and international recognition.
It was the idea of Prof Hubert C.M Kairuki and his wife Mrs Kokushubira Kairuki to establish the University, moved by the situation in Tanzania after independence in 1961, whereby diseases, poverty and ignorance were declared the country's key enemies.
Initially HKMU University was established as Mikocheni International University of Health Sciences (MIUHS), with a focus towards addressing training needs for health professionals in Tanzania, and in sub-Saharan Africa.

OpenStack Ansible Deployment
############################
:date: 2015-02-02 22:00
:tags: lxc, openstack, cloud, ansible
:category: \*nix

Building a development stack
----------------------------

If you are wanting to build a development stack for testing or otherwise contributing to this repository you can do so using the
``gate-check-commit.sh`` script in the scripts directory. To execute this script please do so from the ``os-ansible-deployment`` directory that was created when you cloned the repository.

Example AIO build process:

.. code-block:: bash

  # Clone the source code
  git clone https://github.com/stackforge/os-ansible-deployment /opt/os-ansible-deployment

  # Change your directory
  cd /opt/os-ansible-deployment

  # Checkout your desired branch.
  git checkout master

  # Run the script from the root directory of the cloned repository.
  ./scripts/gate-check-commit.sh

Alternatively, you can curl/wget the ``run-aio-build.sh`` script:

.. code-block:: bash

  curl http://git.openstack.org/cgit/stackforge/os-ansible-deployment/plain/scripts/run-aio-build.sh | bash

To use these scripts successfully please make sure that you have the following:
  * At least **60GB** of available storage on "/" when using local file system containers. Containers are built into ``/var/lib/lxc`` and will consume up-to 40GB on their own.
    * If you would like to test building containers using LVM simply create an **lxc** volume group before executing the script. Be aware that each container will be built with a minimum of 5GB of storage.
  * 2.4GHZ quad-core processor with that is KVM capable is required.
  * You must have at least 4GB of available ram.

This may seem like you need a lot to run the stack, which is partially true, however consider that this simple "All in One" deployment builds a "35" node infrastructure and mimics our reference architecture. Additionally, components like Rabbitmq, MariaDB with Galera, Repository servers, and Keystone will all be clustered. Lastly the "All in One" deployment uses HAProxy for test purposes only. **At this time we do not recommend running HAProxy in production**. At this time you should **NEVER** use the AIO script on a box that you care about. Cloud servers such as Rackspace Cloud server of the flavor *general1-8* variety work really well as development machines, as does Virtual Box of KVM instances.

Using Heat:
  If you would like to use heat to deploy an All in one node there is a heat script which you can use. Simply get and or source the raw script as found here: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stackforge/os-ansible-deployment/master/scripts/osad-aio-heat-template.yml"

Rebuilding the stack
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Once you have completed your testing and or dev work if you'd like to tear down the stack and restart from a new build there is a play that will assist you in doing just that. Simply change to your playbooks directory and execute the ``lxc-containers-destroy.yml`` play.

Example:

.. code-block:: bash

  # Move to the playbooks directory.
  cd /opt/os-ansible-deployment/playbooks

  # Destroy all of the running containers.
  openstack-ansible lxc-containers-destroy.yml

  # On the host stop all of the services that run locally and not within a container.
  for i in $(ls /etc/init | grep -e nova -e swift -e neutron | awk -F'.' '{print $1}'); do service $i stop; done

  # Uninstall the core services that were installed.
  for i in $(pip freeze | grep -e nova -e neutron -e keystone -e swift); do pip uninstall -y $i; done

  # Remove crusty directories.
  rm -rf /openstack /etc/neutron /etc/nova /etc/swift /var/log/neutron /var/log/nova /var/log/swift

Using the teardown script:
  The ``teardown.sh`` script that will destroy everything known within an environment. You should be aware that this script will destroy whole environments and should be used **WITH CAUTION**.

Notice
^^^^^^

The system uses a number of variables. You should look a the scripts for a full explanation and description of all of the available variables that you can set. At a minimum you should be aware of the default public interface variable as you may be kicking on a box that does not have an ``eth0`` interface. To set the default public interface run the following.

.. code-block:: bash

    export PUBLIC_INTERFACE="<<REPLACE WITH THE NAME OF THE INTERFACE>>" # This is only required if you dont have eth0

This play will destroy all of your running containers and remove items within the ``/openstack`` directory for the container. After the completion of this play you can rerun the ``cloudserver-aio.sh`` or you can run the plays manually to rebuild the stack.

Diagram of stack
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Here is a basic diagram that attempts to illustrate what the AIO installation job is doing. **NOTICE** This diagram is not to scale and is not even 100% accurate, this diagram was built for informational purposes only and should **ONLY** be used as such.

Reshaping the Disability Services Act 2006
The following words are commonly used in relation to positive behaviour support and restrictive practices.
Services that provide accommodation to people with a disability, and services that provide support needed to enable a person with a disability to remain in their existing accommodation, or to move to more suitable or appropriate accommodation.
Adult with an intellectual disability
An adult with a disability who has a condition that is attributable to an intellectual or cognitive impairment, or a combination of the impairments.
Services designed to enable people with disability to increase the control they have over their lives by representing their interests and views in the community. For example:
self-advocacy/individual advocacy
group advocacy
system/systematic advocacy
Alternative formats of communication
Other types of communication for people who, by reason of their disabilities, are unable to access information provided in the standard format. These may include interpreter services, radio and alternative formats of print medium, e.g. Teletypewriter (TTY), Braille.
Appropriately Qualified Person
A person with the qualifications or experience appropriate to conduct an assessment. Examples include behaviour analysts, medical practitioners, psychologists, psychiatrists, speech and language pathologists, occupational therapists, registered nurses, social workers, and people with demonstrated experience in positive behaviour support practices. The appropriately qualified or experienced person may be Department of Communities, Disability Services and Seniors staff, staff of funded non-government service providers or people from the private sector.
Chemical restraint of an adult with an intellectual or cognitive disability is the use of medication for the primary purpose of controlling the adult's behaviour. Using medication for the proper treatment of a diagnosed mental illness or physical condition is not chemical restraint. For the purposes of this definition, an intellectual or cognitive disability is not a physical condition. Diagnosed means a doctor has confirmed the adult has the mental illness or physical condition. Mental illness is defined in Section 12 of the Mental Health Act 2000.
Unless otherwise qualified, this refers to the Chief Executive of the Department of Communities, Disability Services and Seniors (or a delegate).
Services designed to give people with disability opportunities to enjoy their full potential for social independence by leaving their home and participating in community life. It may also include skill development activities to help the adult improve their quality of life.
Services that provide the support (other than the basic needs of living) needed for a person with disability to live in a non-institutional setting in their community of choice. Support with the basic needs of living such as meal preparation, dressing, transferring, etc., are included under Accommodation Support.
Containment of an adult with an intellectual or cognitive disability means the physical prevention of the adult from freely exiting the premises where they receive disability services, other than by secluding the adult in response to a behaviour that causes harm to the adult or others.
Disability services, for people with a disability, means one or more of the following:
(a) accommodation support services
(b) respite services
(c) community support services
(d) community access
(e) advocacy or information services or services that provide alternative forms of communication
(f) research, training or development services
(g) another service prescribed by a regulation.
This is a legal concept meaning the responsibility to take reasonable care to avoid causing harm to another person. A duty of care exists when it could reasonably be expected that a person's actions, or failure to act, might cause injury to another person.
Funded service provider
A service provider that receives funds from the Department of Communities, Disability Services and Seniors to provide services. A funded service provider includes a Community Services provider to the extent it provides disability services; however, it does not include another government department receiving funds from the Department of Communities, Disability Services and Seniors.
Guardian for a restrictive practice matter
a guardian for a restrictive practice (general) matter—a guardian appointed for the adult by QCAT to consent to the use of restrictive practice where an adult is receiving services (other than respite or community access services) or
a guardian for a restrictive practice (respite) matter—a guardian appointed for the adult by QCAT to consent on behalf of the adult in relation to the use of restrictive practice where an adult is receiving a respite or community access service only.
Harm to a person means:
physical harm to the person
a serious risk of physical harm to the person
damage to property involving a serious risk of physical harm to the person.
Informal decision maker
For an adult with an intellectual or cognitive disability, this means a member of the adult's support network, other than a paid carer for the adult within the meaning of the Guardianship and Administration Act 2000 (Qld).
Information/referral service
Information services provide accessible information to people with disabilities, their carers, families and related professionals. These services provide information about disability-specific and generic services and equipment, and promote the development of community awareness. Services can include contact by phone, print or e-mail that recommends a person to another service.
Intellectual or cognitive disability
The use, for the primary purpose of controlling the behaviour of an adult with an intellectual or cognitive disability, of a device to:
restrict the free movement of the adult, or
prevent or reduce self-injurious behaviour.
However, the following are not forms of mechanical restraint:
using a device to enable the safe transportation of the adult (eg a harness)
using a device for postural support
using a device to prevent injury from involuntary bodily movements, such as seizures
using a surgical or medical device for the proper treatment of a physical condition
using bed rails or guards to prevent injury while the adult is asleep.
Model positive behaviour support plan
An example positive behaviour support plan prepared by the chief executive and published on the department's website. The model plan incorporates all legislative requirements of the positive behaviour support plan and reflects clinical best practice in a way that support workers can understand and implement to support adults with disability.
Model Statement about restrictive practices
A statement regarding the potential use of restrictive practices must be provided to the adult and people with a sufficient and continuing interest in the adult in an approved form and stating:
(a) why the relevant service provider is considering using restrictive practices in relation to the adult
(b) how the adult and the interested person can be involved and express their views in relation to the use of restrictive practices
(c) who decides whether restrictive practices will be used in relation to the adult
(d) how a complaint or review of the use of restrictive practices can be made.
The model (example) statement is prepared by the chief executive and published on the department's website as a best practice guide for service providers.
Physical restraint
Physical restraint of an adult with an intellectual or cognitive disability means the use of, for the primary purpose of controlling the adult's behaviour, any part of another person's body to restrict the free movement of the adult. Physical contact does not have to be made if the action performed meets the above description.
Positive behaviour support plan (PBSP)
A plan to support an adult, including assessment of the functions of the behaviour of harm, planning and implementation of strategies to meet the adult's needs, improve their capabilities and quality of life, and reduce the occurrence of the behaviour that causes harm, by developing skills.
Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal (QCAT)
QCAT is responsible for determining whether or not an adult has the capacity to make decisions about their life and whether there is a need to appoint appropriate decision makers / guardians, to act on the adult's behalf. QCAT is also the approving body for PBSPs which include either containment or seclusion in a general accommodation setting.
A short-term and time-limited break for families and other voluntary care givers of people with disabilities, to assist in supporting and maintaining the primary care giving relationship, while providing a positive experience for the person with disability.
Restricting the adult's access, at a place where the adult receives disability services, to an object to prevent them using the object to cause harm to themselves or others.
Restrictive practice
containing or secluding an adult with an intellectual or cognitive disability, or
using chemical, mechanical or physical restraint on an adult with an intellectual or cognitive disability, or
restricting access of an adult with an intellectual or cognitive disability.
Seclusion of an adult with an intellectual or cognitive disability means the physical confinement of the adult alone, at any time of the day or night, in a room or area from which free exit is prevented in response to a behaviour which causes harm to themselves or others.
Short-term approval
An approval given by the Public Guardian under the Guardianship and Administration Act 2000 (Qld) (for containment and seclusion) or the chief executive of Department of Communities, Disability Services and Seniors (or a delegate) for restrictive practices other than containment and seclusion.

Cooperation in Global Regulation Sees Benefits
Susan Haigney
The European Medicines Agency announced on July 30, 2012, that its efforts to increase interaction and cooperation with regulatory authorities in Japan have paid off. In 2007, confidentiality agreements between the EU and Japan were established for a five-year period to allow for an exchange of information to enhance regulatory and scientific processes
The European Medicines Agency announced on July 30, 2012, that its efforts to increase interaction and cooperation with regulatory authorities in Japan have paid off. In 2007, confidentiality agreements between the EU and Japan were established for a five-year period to allow for an exchange of information to enhance regulatory and scientific processes. According to EMA, the areas of orphan drugs, pediatrics, advanced therapies, pharmacogenomics, and nanomedicines have especially benefited from the collaboration.
Specifically, EMA reported on an increase in the exchange of information and interaction between the two regions, including a new Japanese liaison officer and increased conference attendance. EMA stated in a release that the presence of the Japanese liaison "has provided a strong basis for mutual education, awareness of opportunities for interaction and communication between the European and Japanese authorities, helping to address public-health issues and avoid duplication of work."
FDA, the Australian Therapeutic Agency, and the United States Pharmacopeia have done similar exchange programs. With the increasing global nature of the pharmaceutical industry, the positive results reported by EMA would seem to prove that this trend in global collaboration is a good one.

Q: c# create object for .show() and .hide() Is there a way to create a method that goes like this in C#:
public void showHide(string shOne, string shTwo, string shThree) {
     button1.shOne();
     button2.shTwo();
     button3.shThree();
}

private void discountButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    showHide("Show", "Hide", "Hide")
    // I was thinking that this should be the same as
    // button1.Show();
    // button2.Hide();
    // button3.Hide();
}

Is this possible ? I'm designing a c# application for thesis and I need to show and hide buttons (lots of buttons and labels and stuff).
I'm using this code as of now but I keep getting error:

Panel' does not contain a definition for 'shOne'.

A: public void showHide(bool shOne, bool shTwo, bool shThree)
{
     button1.Visible = shOne;
     button2.Visible = shTwo;
     button3.Visible = shThree;
}

A: You can do this by multiple ways here is my code
    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

        if (button2.Visible == false)
        {
            button2.Show();
        }
        else
        {
            button2.Hide();
        }

    }


Who would of thought that back in early 2000's, back when almost any smart number was available for purchase – that they would turn into such a big integral part of business.
With the recent sale of the specialist 1300 number telco, Fonebox – it's really shed the spotlight on the industry and the margins that some Telco's are still charging for these products.
Telstra have bought back their pricing significantly over the past few years, and some of the dirt cheap telco's have vanished – probably due to unpaid GST or other tax and have been shutdown by the ATO.
With the wave of regulation recently (as in past 4 years) bought in by the power's that be – it seems this industry has really cemented itself as a core industry in Australia.
Thinking of getting a 1300 number?
Not sure on how it works, if its going to work for you? Get a Free Trial 1300 number from The Number Guyz today and give it a whirl!
We are very excited to offer our low cost 1300 numbers with a special limited time only free trial. Get onboard today.
What things should you look out for when taking on a free trial?
Don't give too much information, otherwise you just become another lead in the Telco CRM and will be hassled.
Get onboard with www.simple1300numbers.com.au today.
What do you look for when choosing a supplier?
For me its simple, I want a good price and I want to know they aren't going to go broke and leave me with no service. One of the premium and best 1300 number suppliers available in today's market is Simple Telecom.
The online signup process and professional service is definitely the best, and their pricing is very competitive. There are so many features that come for free with the 1300 number, and the simple console is the best control panel I've ever seen and it gives you the ability to change your plan, update your details, request help with your service, view and pay invoices and manage the specifics of your service and any addons you might have.
Then there is the reporting,, very nice java-script graphs showing me exactly how many calls I've received and how much they have cost. Then I can drill down and look at which state the calls are coming from, and even further at each individual call and determine the caller ID information, duration and price. Talk about detailed reporting!
Have you ever thought about improving the customer service your offer your clients? Recently I listened to myself on a recording from a conversation with a customer from a 1300 number.
I immediately identified some areas I could improve, the pitch of my voice is probably the most important thing. In my own opinion, I sounded bored and very uninterested in the caller, so I have challenged myself to always be upbeat and use a higher pitch in my voice when answering calls. The next key I discovered was the language I was using. I was the expert, so it's my new job to quickly identify the needs and desires of the caller, and then give them my expert opinion on what was the best solution for them. I always try and use language that reinforces my experience dealing with businesses similar to them and the results I have helped that business achieve. My services are always the best available on the market and I have full confidence in them, and that they are the best solution for the caller.
Well this is just a brief write up of some of the things I have identified for myself, imagine what doing this across the board for all your employees would help your bottom line.
The Call Recording addon for 1300 numbers is a really cheap way of providing your customer service representatives with easy feedback, follow the link if your after further details.
Occasionally I get calls from advertising companies looking to use 1300 services for AB marketing. Now I don't come from a marketing background, so I had no idea what they were talking about. I decided that I would catch up through some good old-fashioned research.
Wikipedia states: In web development and marketing, A/B testing or split testing is an experimental approach to web design (especially user experience design), which aims to identify changes to web pages that increase or maximize an outcome of interest (e.g., click-through rate for a banner advertisement). As the name implies, two versions (A and B) are compared, which are identical except for one variation that might impact a user's behavior. Version A might be the currently used version, while Version B is modified in some respect. For instance, on an e-commerce website the purchase funnel is typically a good candidate for A/B testing, as even marginal improvements in drop-off rates can represent a significant gain in sales. Significant improvements can be seen through testing elements like copy text, layouts, images and colours.
So – what does this mean and how could you apply it?
To start with, the concept of AB Marketing allows you to compare different means of advertising. The 1300 number with its reporting features will give you the ability to compare the inbound telephone enquiries easily.
Imagine the level of detail you would receive after 3 months of running the above?
You would be able to tell exactly how you are receiving the majority of your telephone calls, and combine it with sales stats – work out exactly how much each lead per advertising medium is costing you.
That is vital information. You could be spending $1000 per year on a listing somewhere that is giving you no new leads. It may highlight a particularly profitable advertising medium that is struggling for budget.
We love setting up these campaigns, and always pass on as big a discount as possible to help with the cost of multiple 1300 numbers. Any questions, please ask in the comments.
Why do the Big Guys get it so Wrong?
I was thinking about why customers choose my business for 1300 numbers over others businesses recently and I drew a few conclusions which I wanted to share.
Firstly, my business is small compared to the "Big Guys" ie. Telstra, Optus etc. I am constantly receiving feedback from clients about how easy and simple I am to deal with and get things done/fixed. Surely this cannot be too difficult? People don't want to be just another number on a screen – they want you to remember them, they want to know that your important to them and their issues and needs are important.
Not once have I had someone refuse to talk about their business, they get excited and passionate and love the conversation. When was the last time that happened to you when you called a "Big" company? Never I bet. During the call, I take a few brief notes and store it in the system, set reminders for certain tasks if I need to follow them up or if they require certain information I will send it to them on the spot. This way, if they call again, I can quickly load up there profile and see my notes from last time and remember whats going on. Nowdays, I generally have to rely on other peoples notes or my own notes from years ago to get up to speed – so I guess having a consistent system in place is definitely the key in that regard.
Now I do have to give the big guys credit, the sheer volume of customers/enquiries they deal with means its not always going to be perfect but I would question some fundamentals of their business model. Why do you have to go through endless IVR Menu's or Voice Recognition systems to then speak with someone who isn't a direct specialist in dealing with your original enquiry?
I image a group of numbers, maybe 1 for mobile, 1 for internet, 1 for fixed lines and 1 for inbound products. Each number would have an IVR menu with a maximum of 2 levels deep. The first level establishes what type of enquiry you have eg. Sales, Support, Billing. These need to general enough that everyone can easily choose an option.
The second level may not be required or it may drill down the enquiry further, so for example Sales -> Straight to a Sales Rep. For Billing, you might have: Pay my bill, Billing Error, General enquiry. Then finally the IVR Menu drops the call down into the specific group that handle those calls. Hold times would be managed so that no one was waiting more than 2 minutes – if they do it set's up an automatic call back service so they can continue their work.
Finally once the operator deals with that specific enquiry, if they require further help outside of that operators help, the operator connects them either into the Relevant IVR, or establishes the department through conversation and transfers that call to the relevant department. The operator definitely doesn't try and help the caller if its not their area of expertise.
I think this could seriously work much better than the current systems I've dealt with, and I know as my company grows I will certainly be moving towards this style model. Would love to hear your thoughts on this, please post in the comments below.

Q: Iterating raster pairs using ArcPy? I have a problem that must be solved in automatic manner.
I am using ArcGIS 10.2.
I have a raster files that I have to pair and then make the calculation. I have tried to use ModelBuilder but there is not possible to use two iterations. I have made submodel but then it did not pair the layers correctly.
THe calculation on the pairs is simple. Just minus them than the results must be divided by the maximum value from the resulted layer.
I have :
raster1_yearA, raster1_yearB, raster1_yearC, raster1_yearD
raster2_yearA, raster2_yearB, raster2_yearC, raster2_yearD
But I have to make pairs lik this:
raster1_yearA - raster1_yearB
raster1_yearA - raster1_yearC
raster1_yearA - raster1_yearD

A: To get started with a Python script you can try code below. ListRasters will sort your rasters by name so if they are named like you say, it should work. Otherwise there are other ways of sorting the list.
import arcpy
from arcpy.sa import *
from itertools import izip

folder = r'C:\Test\Rasters' #Or geodatabase. Change to match your data.
arcpy.env.workspace = folder

#Function which return 4 items at a time from list
def fourwise(iterable):
    a = iter(iterable)
    return izip(a, a, a, a)

for a, b, c, d in fourwise(arcpy.ListRasters()):
    outMinus1 = Minus(a,b)
    outMinus2 = Minus(a,c)
    outMinus3 = Minus(a,d)
    #... do something else with outMinuses...
