No support for Kaspersky virus tool

We have always been promoting Kaspersky virus tools to our visitors but since 22 november we are not able to use this virus tool due to technical problems with the Kaspersky server. We are no longer promoting this tool because Kaspersky seems not be willing to solve the problem for us.

Company is not availble for technical support by email and for us it is impossible to login to their helpdesk section because our client name is not known to their client database.

We have been trying to get help through their payment provider Element 5 in Germany but no support there as well.

If you are facing the same sort of problems with this Russian software please email us: ugamedia@wirehub.nl

I really hope will switch back to their old good service as they offered in the past......

Syncro Soft Ltd, the producer of Oxygen XML Editor, has announced the immediate availability of version 7.2 of its XML Editor, Schema Editor and XSLT/XQuery Debugger.

Version 7.2 of the Oxygen XML Editor adds as main features a complete Subversion client, support for flattening XML Schemata, an XML Schema instance generator, integration with the X-Hive/DB, MarkLogic and TigerLogic XML databases, editing actions on the diagram, rename refactoring action and search references/declarations actions in XML Schema and Relax NG schemata editors.

For the complete list of new features please visit
http://www.oxygenxml.com/index.html#new-version

New in version 7.2:

Oxygen makes easier the document sharing between content authors by including a Subversion (SVN) client. The SVN client allows you to browse repositories, check for changes, review, merge and commit changes, update your working copy and examine the revision history.

Schema support enhancements include support for flattening XML Schema, rename refactoring action, find declarations or references of XML Schema components.

There are available new editing actions in the contextual menu of the full model diagram view allowing the addition of new elements and editing their attributes. A new regular expressions builder has been added that helps to construct and test regular expressions allowed in XML Schema restriction patterns. You can now quickly generate a large set of XML document samples based on a given XML Schema using the XML Schema instance generator tool.

The HTML documentation for XML Schema has been improved. The generated schema diagram images contain image maps allowing to click directly on a diagram component to navigate to the documentation for that component. The documentation of a definition includes an "Used By" section with links to the other definitions which refer to it. Navigation is possible in both directions between a schema and the included/imported ones.

The support for XQuery execution over an XML native database was extended by adding the following engines: X-Hive/DB XML Database, MarkLogic XML Database and TigerLogic XML Database. With the integrated xqDoc tool you can generate HTML documentation for XQuery files with just a couple of clicks. One or more input XQuery files are accepted and the function namespaces are configurable.

Other new features include the possibility to generate a brief documentation listing the services, bindings, port types and messages defined in a WSDL file, the addition of a dockable view called Dynamic Help that changes its content automatically to the relevant help page for the focused editor, view or dialog and support to configure the background color for syntax highlighting tokens.

Jon Clarke Publishing Group is now offering an eMarketing guide revealing how to make more sales, attract more clients and generate all the repeat business you could wish for. What you will learn is a straight to the point, no-nonsense approach to marketing your business more effectively.

In most companies, when business is slow, the first reaction is to spend more on marketing. "Improve your image, get your name out there more, create new logos and slogans..." is the cry. Indeed, most marketing consultants will tell you that's exactly what you must do. But is this always the right solution? Are these marketing consultants serving your best interests, or their own?
Tina Clark, senior partner with Jon Clarke Publishing Group says," Typically a marketing consultant, advertising agent or graphic designer will talk to you about image, branding, and slogans.
If, however, you're looking for someone to help you to get the phone ringing more, get more visitors to your website, more visitors to your retail outlet and to help you convert more of them into satisfied, paying clients, then we're on the same wavelength... The bottom line is that in order to really learn something, you need to learn it from someone who has, and still does, do it themselves. In the end, all that matters is making more sales and enjoying the resultant profit."
"Make More Sales, Attract More Clients and Generate All the Repeat Business You Could Wish For" as the title also says is a guide to getting more customers; but not just any kind of customers. You'll get more loyal customers. You'll discover how to differentiate yourself, your company and whatever your product or services are. It reveals a completely different approach to marketing that allows you to create outstanding results quickly and easily, and anyone can copy these methods-- once they understand them.

The marketing tips revealed in this easy to read, plain language e-book has already turned around many struggling businesses and now it can do the same for you. It's powerful, proprietary and simple. Anybody can follow it.

Business owners can access this e-book at www.jonclarkepublishing.com and learn more about making more sales and attracting more clients.


Venice Italy, A Guide for Travelers to One of the Most Romantic

Company: Sylvia Grgas
Address: Albina Way
Zipcode: L4Z 4J5
City: Mississauga
Country: Canada

Venice is possibly the most romantic city you'll ever visit. It is almost redundant to describe the charms of this fabulous floating city, surrounded by hundreds of tiny canals. While wandering through the maze of footpaths or sitting back in a gondola and exploring the city by water, be sure to stop and visit San Marco Square, the famous Rialto Bridge, the elegant Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore. Venice is truly a place like no other, with its quaint alleyways, waterways and way of life.

The first settlements in Venice date back to the 5th century, when the mainland people came to venice to escape the invasions that followed the fall of the Roman Empire, fighting just to survive, overtime these small pieces of land surrounded by water took on the semblance of a real town. A very unique and special place that became the only one like it in the world.

Gondolas, are one of venice's most famous symbols worldwide. This venetian boat is extremely ancient and was the result of complex techniques. The typical gondola is 11 meters long and weighs 600 kilograms. Considering its weight and size it is very easy to maneuver by one person.

Places to see in Venice

St. Mark's Square-is really the heart of Venice, mostly because of its location on the banks of the grand canal, and because of the great number of beautiful, historical monuments located there. Politically and culturally, St. Mark's Square has always been a very important and strategical area in Venice.

The Rialto Bridge's-24-foot arch was designed to allow passage of galleys, and the massive structure was built on some 12,000 wooden pilings that still support the bridge more than 400 years later. The architect, Antonio da Ponte, competed against such eminent designers as Michelangelo and Palladio for the contract.

The bridge has three walkways: two along the outer balustrades, and a wider central walkway leading between two rows of small shops that sell jewelry, linens, Murano glass, and other items for the tourist trade. The Bridge of Sighs-received its name in the 17th century, because the prisoners who passed through it on their way to the prison cells on the other side would most likely see the beautiful sight of the lagoon and the island of S.Giorgio and freedom for the last time. However, it was only in the 19th century that it came to be called the 'Bridge of Sighs' after Lord Byron's famous reference in his poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage "I stood in Venice on the Bridge of Sighs, a palace and prison on each hand".

Jewish Ghetto-When on March 29th, 1516 the Government of the Serenissima Repubblica issued special laws, the first Ghetto of Europe was instituted. It was an area where Jews were forced to live and which they could not leave from sunset to dawn. The area was closed by gates watched by guards and up till now the marks of the hinges are visible there. St. Mark's Basilica-majestically symbolizes the lagoon and enshrines the city's history. Possession of the saint's relics enabled the Republic to establish its authority, from 828 onward, over Grado and Aquileia. In 1063, under Doge Domenico Contarini, it was decided to rebuild the church on the same Greek cross plan as the previous one. In 1096 it was finished, but the decorative work continued until the beginning of the 19th century. The model had been furnished by the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople (536-46); five domes covering the crossing and each of the arms, supported by large piers linked by arches. The light was thus directed towards the centre of the basilica, leaving the side aisles in comparative shadow

Entertainment

Venice has a strong classical music scene - top venues to hear Baroque classics from the likes of Vivaldi include Chiesa di Santa Maria delta Pieta, Chiesa di San Bartolomeo and Chiesa delle Zitelle on Giudecca. San Marco's Scuola Grande di San Teodoro, and San Polo's Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista also host concerts, where musicians don 18th century costume and masks, giving an idiosyncratic take on famous works. Performance art afficionados welcomed the recent return of Venice's opera treasure, the Teatro La Fenice, decimated by fire in 1996. La Fenice also hosts high-calibre ballet, music and theater.

Principal theater venues in Venice include Teatro Goldoni - between the Rialto Bridge and St. Mark's Square - Teatro Fenice, Teatro Malibran and Teatro Italia; all boasting beautiful interiors.

The outstanding Biennale festival showcases some of the world's leading contemporary artists in music, theater, art, dance, cinema and architecture at choice venues every two years. The next festival runs from June to October 2005.

Alterbox shifts email messaging into a higher gear with SenderPush technology

Alterbox, the new player on the advanced communication and messaging solutions scene, today has announced the availability of SenderPush, a new technology based on its AlterUM Web enabled messaging platform. Unlike the traditional mobile email such as Blackberry® where only the recipient benefits from being able to receive important emails while on the go, Alterbox's SenderPush technology puts the sender in control of delivery of his emails by enabling him to send an urgent email also to recipient's ordinary mobile phone.

As busy professionals we frequently require quick responses to urgent matters. How often do we find ourselves sending important emails, only to call the recipient immediately on their mobile notifying them of the urgent message just sent? But what if the person in question does not have access to emails at that crucial moment?

The answer is Alterbox's SenderPush technology. Recipients are not only instantly made aware of important emails addressed to them by an alert on their mobile phone, they are also given the possibility to access the email message itself by clicking on a link provided in the alert message. So whether the addressee is out on the go or sitting in front of his computer, the urgent message won't go unnoticed.

In addition, the sender of the original email will be given peace of mind, with the automatic delivery of a read receipt confirmation once the "pushed" message is retrieved by the recipient.

"This new technology will not only be of benefit to the initiators of emails, wishing to ensure that the information they send is quickly accessed by their recipients" said Denis Kotlar, Alterbox CEO. "SenderPush should also find much appreciation among the recipients of the messages, who will be kept informed easily of any urgent email addressed to them, by being able to read and reply to email directly on their ordinary mobile, in case they are not in front their PC. Indeed the recipients won't need to be the owners of a Blackberry® or SmartPhone with mobile email capabilities to be able to enjoy the advantages of the SenderPush technology. SenderPush will definitely open doors to new ways of perceiving communication".

The Current State of Online Free Trials in the e-Business Scene

Every year, hundreds of e-business websites worldwide employ online free trial campaigns to promote their goods and services. These campaigns usually run for a limited trial period, often up to 90 days. During this trial period, these companies offer free goods and services, aiming to convert responders into paying customers at the end of the trial. Some service companies even offer a limited period free trial as an ongoing company policy.

Upon offering a free trial, each company wants to draw only genuine customers who complete an online form to register. These forms are simple, requesting only key information, such as name, address, telephone number, email address, and some personal preferences about products or services. Beyond that, most companies do very little to verify the user. The campaign goes as planned, and the company meets its free trial commitments.

Along with the genuine customers out there, the marketplace is full of people who are "on the prowl" waiting for these opportunities to make fast gains. These include e-newsletter signups, ROI calculators, signups for marketing material, drawings, and free service trials. And the competition is not far behind, always finding ways to dilute the impact of the campaign.

The Real Issue
Many online users routinely abuse free trial campaigns by creating multiple accounts and registering one-time signups multiple times. Or, competitors sign up under false identity to prevent even the best-managed companies from deriving full benefits from their trial campaign investments. This online deception results in financial loss due to poor online verification of a user's identity.

It is common knowledge that if this issue is left unresolved, - % of the intended reach is taken away by non-genuine customers and competitors, making campaigns less effective and even quite risky. This not only impacts the expected yield from each campaign, but also strains resources, adversely affecting the level of service to genuine customers. This e-business issue has been widely recognized, and website owners are looking for solutions to minimize the problem.

The PhoneConfirm Solution
PhoneConfirm.com provides an affordable solution that helps website owners derive full value from their trial campaign investments for all types of online e-businesses. Using PhoneConfirm's proven Automated Phone Confirmation Service, predators and competitors are discouraged from signing up for free trials of a product or service, greatly improving the quality of the marketing leads.

PhoneConfirm's solution is based on two important facts. First, any phone number is easily traceable. Next, while multiple email addresses can be quickly and freely obtained just in a few minutes (using various email services), it is much more complicated to obtain a new telephone number. For most people, it is not worth the trouble to confirm a phone number just for a free service usage. So, most potential fraudsters are immediately discouraged and drop the idea to commit the folly.

How PhoneConfirm.com Works
The trial campaign subpages of a company's website links to their potential clients via the PhoneConfirm Service. From the information provided online by the customers, http://www.phoneconfirm.com verifies the user's phone number, generates a unique PIN number, and records it, drastically reducing the shipment of marketing material, free goods, or free trial services to junk users.

PhoneConfirm automatically dials the phone number at the same time that the end user is registering for a transaction. PhoneConfirm immediately calls the number to confirm that the phone number represents the person that is interacting with the website through PIN entry. Any discrepancy results in automatic blockage, and the transaction is reported to the website for further disposition. The result is a reduction in fraud, decreased unauthorized system accesses, and a significant cost savings compared to a traditional, manual telephone confirmation process.
