Q: Return documents matching field array Using Mongoose with MongoDB,  I need to return a series of lookups based on a field of an initial lookup. My Schema is as follows:
var PartSchema = new Schema({
    partcode: String,
    children: [String]
});

And the data looks like the following:
[{"partcode":"A1","children":["B1","B2","B3","B4"]},
 {"partcode":"B1","children":["C11","C21","C31","C41"]},
 {"partcode":"B2","children":["C12","C22","C32","C42"]},
 {"partcode":"B3","children":["C13","C23","C33","C43"]},
 {"partcode":"B4","children":["C14","C24","C34","C44"]}]

I can query for A1's children field by using the following static call:
var childrenOnly =
  {children: 1, _id: 0};
PartSchema.static('getChildren', function (partcode, callback) {
  return this.find({ partcode: partcode }, childrenOnly, callback);
});

This returns (via express)
[{"children":["B1","B2","B3","B4"]}]

What I need it to return is
[{"partcode":"B1","children":["C11","C21","C31","C41"]},
 {"partcode":"B2","children":["C12","C22","C32","C42"]},
 {"partcode":"B3","children":["C13","C23","C33","C43"]},
 {"partcode":"B4","children":["C14","C24","C34","C44"]}]

I'm guessing an iterative call is required with the first query returning the children array, and then iterating over the children array to get each of the child records.

A: The general idea is to first try getting the array with the children codes using the findOne() method and then use that array as the query with the $in operator in the find() method to return the full result.
var childrenOnly = {children: 1, _id: 0};
PartSchema.static('getChildren', function (partcode, callback) {
    var self = this;
    this.findOne({ partcode: partcode }, childrenOnly)
        .exec(function (err, doc) {
             console.log(doc.children); // {"children":["B1","B2","B3","B4"]}
             return self.find({"partcode": {"$in": doc.children} }, callback);
        });
});

-- EDIT --
Look into using promises. I haven't tested this yet but I believe it should also do the trick:
var childrenOnly = {children: 1, _id: 0};
PartSchema.static('getChildren', function (partcode, callback) {
    var self = this,
        promise = this.findOne({ partcode: partcode }, childrenOnly).exec();
    promise.then(function (doc) {
        return self.find({"partcode": {"$in": doc.children} }, callback);
    });
});

Q: Strange getName() result on File in linux I have some code that reads the name from an UNC path:
File f = new File(//fileshare/folder/file.txt)
System.out.println(f.getName())

On windows this gives:
file.txt

but on linux it gives:
//fileshare/folder/file.txt

why?

A: On my system (Ubuntu 12.04) it gives file.txt:
$ cat Test.java
import java.io.File;
class Test {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    File f = new File("//fileshare/folder/file.txt");
    System.out.println(f.getName());
  }
}
$ javac Test.java && java Test
file.txt

f.getPath() returns /fileshare/folder/file.txt, which shows that multiple slashes get reduced to one, as is customary (required?) on Unix systems.
Of course, a UNC path is meaningless on anything but Windows.

A: Try using org.apache.commons.io.FilenameUtils from Apache Commons, the method getName() should ensure consistent parsing of the full path regardless of the platform where you are running.

Q: Bash reading array in different format I use the below script to read the articles , and then display the articles.
echo " Please enter device no"
read -a articles
index=0
count=${#articles[@]}
echo "The number of articles are  $count"
while [ $index -lt $count ]
  do
    echo ${articles[$index]}
    index=$index+1
  done

But the issue is, I need to give articles via the spaces
like article1 article2 article3?
Is there a way , I can input via comma like article1, article2, article3?
The array should accept in both ways ( Either comma OR spaces)?
Any pointers appreciated !

A: $index cannot be incremented like that. Try using:
index=$((index+1))  # Universal shell (POSIX)

or
((index++))         # bash

A: Define your own IFS before read
From man Bash

IFS : The Internal Field Separator that is used for word splitting
  after expansion and to split lines into  words  with  the  read
  builtin  command.   The  default  value  is <space><tab><newline>

$ IFS=' ,' read -a foo
cat dog sheep

$ printf '%s\n' ${foo[@]}
cat
dog
sheep

$ IFS=' ,' read -a foo
cat, dog, sheep

$ printf '%s\n' ${foo[@]}
cat
dog
sheep

Be sure to reset the IFS var to its default after that

Miles Burke the founder of 6Q, a company that provides tools to boost employee engagement, create positive company culture, and increase retention and profits takes us through how to run stand-up meetings.
Stand-up meetings have become a core ritual of highly effective teams the world over. So, how do you run them, measure them and get the best benefits?
The massive growth of agile software development practices, means that stand-up meetings are becoming more popular within businesses of all industries and sizes. Just as the title suggests, a stand-up meeting is literally a quick meeting within a team who stands up for the duration.
Having said that, there are a number of elements that separate an effective stand-up meeting from being just a waste of time.
What is a team stand up meeting?
A team stand-up meeting is a regular (often daily) meeting that is kept to between 5 and 15 minutes long, and takes place with participants standing up to remind them to keep the meeting short and to-the-point.
These team stand-up meetings are often referred to as "team stand-up", "daily scrum" or "status meetings".
It is difficult for an employee to psychologically identify with a group if they don't regularly engage with their colleagues. A fast and productive way to keep the team cohesive, is to encourage regular (and short!) team stand-up meetings.
These stand-up meetings are meant to promote follow-up conversations between members of the team. For example, if an employee brings up an issue they are having, another colleague is encouraged to speak up and say they can help later that day.
A stand-up meeting will result in an increased rate of knowledge transfer between employees – meaning that the team overall has a wider and better understanding of the projects and tasks at hand.
An effective stand-up will allow employees to identify issues before they become too problematic. Team members can help each other when someone encounters a problem or discovers a better way of completing a task. Scenarios where team members are not comfortable sharing problems and don't help each other are a reflection of an ineffective team.
By everyone focusing and discussing their current goals as individuals and a team, stand-up meetings help improve the shared understanding of goals. If there are no shared goals, you have a group of individuals, not a team.
These are just some of the known benefits of stand-up meetings within teams across the world.
There are a number of activities or 'meeting rules' you can put in place, to ensure your team stand-up meeting is effective, and not a total waste of time for everyone.
Even though stand-ups are intentionally brief, people will still sit down if there are chairs or tables nearby. Hold the meeting in an open space or a room without chairs. This seems obvious, but people will often sit down without even realising it.
Any meeting that takes longer than 15 minutes becomes a serious team meeting, and not a quick stand-up. If you find that it takes a minute or two longer, that's OK if the time is still effective. Don't cut people off mid-report, but rather encourage brevity.
The worst thing when speaking, is to see your colleagues' attention elsewhere. Monitors should be out of reach and phones left on your desk. The purpose of a stand-up is for everyone to listen and be involved, not checking emails or taking calls.
To ensure that each team member keeps on topic and stays succinct, is to encourage a maximum time of 1-2 minutes each. Any longer, and the quick status becomes a report or presentation, not a quick update.
Most stand-up meetings happen first thing in the morning, and this is often because that's when the team are most energetic and ready for the day ahead. Stick to an exact time and location to make it a positive habit.
You needn't try stand-ups every single work day; it may make sense for your team to do it every few days, or weekly, depending on the amount of projects and work your team have to report and face.
The last thing you want to hear in a stand-up meeting is 'I forgot what I did yesterday/last week'. Encourage everyone on the team to spend a few minutes preparing for the stand-up meeting, to ensure that it stays energetic and useful.
If people are unavoidably late, don't postpone the meeting, continue without them, and ask afterwards (privately) that they make an effort in future to arrive on time.
As I mentioned earlier, we use a toy unicorn, however it could be anything; a ball, an office object or something fun like our toy. The purpose of this is to keep the concentration on the person speaking, and avoid interruptions.
What did I accomplish yesterday/last week?
What will I do today/this week?
What roadblocks or obstacles are impeding my progress?
If you stick to these, you will find that although short, the responses are powerful updates.
You should time these stand-up meetings, and possibly even publish the results. Most of the time, attendees just don't realise the impact of a few interruptions, not being prepared or going off topic.
If you find that you can't reasonably get an update form everyone, then perhaps your meeting has too many attendees. If your stand-up meeting has more than 15 attendees, this leaves less than one minute for each person to contribute. Consider splitting the teams into smaller groups if possible.
By sticking to the above, you ensure that you increase the benefits of stand-up meetings within your team.
If you feel that your team stand-up meetings are being treated as a chore, and not an opportunity for team building and problem solving, then you need to get these meetings back on track.
A team stand-up meeting is not an opportunity to talk about that new great film, or what you did over the weekend. Whilst social chat is a great team building technique, it is unfair for the entire group to have to sit through a small off-topic discussion.
If you find people are staying sitting down, or looking at screens or devices, stop the meeting and ask everyone to get back to the topic at hand. It can be demoralizing for the person speaking, and certainly not effective for the attendees if this lack of attention occurs.
The point of these stand-up meetings, is to report to the team. If you find that everyone is directing their reports to the manager, then you need the manager to step out of the meeting, or address this to the attendee afterwards.
If you find people are visibly tired, inattentive or unmotivated, it may be time to try something different. A number of companies encourage a minute or two of stretching exercises beforehand, to get the blood flowing, and to encourage alertness.
If you find that some of the people regularly turn up late, take them aside and privately reinforce the need for them to attend on time. It can be disruptive to the whole team if someone turns up late, apologises, and puts the flow of round robin discussion out of turn.
If you have an attendee who regularly says they can't remember, or they don't know what tasks lie ahead of them, it publicly shows that they are not prepared. If this doesn't iron itself out, you may need to remind the employee to spend a few minutes in preparation before the meeting.
The purpose of these stand-up meetings is to highlight issues, not resolve them. If an employee raises an issue, encourage someone to put their hand up and say they can help; however directly after, and not during, the meeting.
Team stand-up meetings are a fantastic way to ensure everyone within your team is on the same page, have a shared understanding of tasks and goals. Stand-up meetings are an effective, fast method for resilient team building.
By using the tips and tricks above, I encourage you to improve your stand-ups, or if yet to try them, give them a go; you'll be surprised how well they can work to build a cohesive team and keep everyone motivated.

Q: encode and decode int variable in Objective-C How do I decode and encode int variables in Objective-C?
This is what I have done so far, but application is terminating at that point.
Whats the mistake here?
-(void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder*)coder
{
   [coder encodeInt:count forKey:@"Count"];
}

-(id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder*)decoder
{
   [[decoder decodeIntForKey:@"Count"]copy];
   return self;
}

A: [decoder decodeIntForKey:@"Count"] returns an int. And your sending the message copy to that int -> crash.
In Objective-C simple data types aren't objects. So you can't send messages to them. Ints are simple c data types.

A: V1ru8 is right.  However, I prefer to encode ints as NSNumbers. Like this:
- (void)encodeWithCoder:(NSCoder *)coder {
    [coder encodeObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:self.count] forKey:@"Count"];
}

- (id)initWithCoder:(NSCoder *)decoder {
    if (self = [super init]) {
        self.count = [[decoder decodeObjectForKey:@"Count"] intValue];
    }
    return self;

The kids have all "flown the nest," you're now retired and you don't have as much energy as you once did. Your home feels like a mansion; it takes ages for you to get around, even longer to clean and there's numerous rooms that you barely enter any more. This is a sensation that many older citizens experience and it brings up a fairly controversial question; should I sell my home in Denver and buy something smaller? This is referred to as "downsizing" and while some people are great believers in doing this, there are others that are fiercely against it. If this is something that you've been thinking about a lot recently, then this article might be of interest to you since we're going to take a look at the main pros and cons of downsizing.

Outstanding customer service with Lindsay up front and the owner Brett. You can't go wrong — excellent local Prime meat full-service butcher.
I drive by this place just about every day on my way home and never thought once to stop by and try it. It wasn't until I was with my barber that he went and suggested to me to grab lunch from the Deli, he recommended the burger. Let must just say, WOW, the meat was so delicious and full of flavor, every bite got better and better. I also had the mac and cheese as my side and this was just as good as the burger! I will definitely be back again to try just about everything they have on their Deli menu. The DELI!! WOW!!

The cuts all look amazing. Very simple shop but with lots of options! Their deli looked great also and I look forward to trying it out soon. The service was great as well. Everyone is super helpful and friendly. They don't rush you and let you browse without asking you a million times if your ready yet. They were readily available when I had a question. Much nicer experience than I've had with other shops like it.
AMAZING EXPERIENCE!!! I had a great experience at Hobe Meats. The 2 behind the counter were both extremely helpful and friendly. I had a ton of questions about smoking and grilling, they recommended some great cuts of meat and a dry rub, that would work best with my equipment and budget. My barbecue was a huge success with a ton of credit going to Hobe Meats. I can't wait to go back!
I LOVE HOBE MEATS! I love Hobe Meats! The deli is a wonderful addition. I grew up in upstate New York where there are tons of delis. This has the old school deli feel and flavor. You can't see it but I have a happy face.

AMAZING QUALITY!!!! The Quality of the meat here is amazing! My brother lives about a block away from this place and they go in at least once a week! I love having family dinners at their house because I know that we will get to eat meat from here!
-Aug 30, 2017 by Shaquita A.
HUGE selection! I was visiting my family and looking for a good butcher and It's always tough to find places that excel in these good ole American trades. With a few revised yelp searches I stumbled upon this place. They have a HUGE selection of meats and some specialty GAME in the store. I came to get some beef to make some jerky and they really helped me pick the right kind of Beef cuts. Within a week of travel I was in this store every other day to pick up something fresh to cook.
-Sep 04, 2017 by Justin B.

-Sep 06, 2017 by MoniQue H.
This is my go-to place when I've got people to BBQ or grill for. Great steaks, beef ribs (most of the time - but you can call ahead and they'll hold some for you) - corn when it's in season (last time I was in, they had a one-ear-of-corn-with-each-steak special - that was an unexpected bonus). The hot dogs are really great, too. But...if you like brats, this is THE place. Especially the jalapeño cheddar brats. wow wow WOW!!! Plus, they have the condiments ready for you (deli/spicy mustard...and if you're ever frustrated at how hard it is to find prepared horseradish - no worries - it's right on the counter above the steaks). Check them out!!!
-Sep 11, 2017 by John G.

A Post Office was established at Hotham on March 20, 1860 with J. McGibbon appointed postmaster at a commencing allowance of 70 pounds per annum. As the average amount paid to an unofficial office manager was 20 pounds approximately per annum it can be appreciated that the population of Hotham was growing.
During 1861 Letter Receivers were installed at Hotham and the Post Office Report for that year states: "In 1861 a contract was entered into for the clearance of the letter receiving boxes in the City, in Carlton and Hotham, and in Collingwood and Fitzroy six times a day, or strictly speaking, for the conveyance of a letter-carrier in a light cart six times a day to all the letter receivers in the city and suburbs named In 1860 the receivers were only cleared four times a day by men on foot.
During 1862 one letter carrier was employed at Hotham post office and the mail return for the year showed that there were 23,398 letters and 6,049 newspapers delivered from the G.P.O. for delivery at Hotham.
The Post Office Report for 1862 also stated that mail deliveries at Hotham took approximately 1.5 to 2 hours and commenced at 9 a.m., 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. "On arrival of English mail, the regular letter carriers are assisted by supernumeraries, and time occupied in delivery is very much increased. It frequently happens, on these occasions, that the men are engaged on their walks until 10 or 11 o clock at night.
In October 1867, Post Office Savings Bank facilities were made available at Hotham and by the end of December there were nine accounts. Some three years later, at the end of 1870, there were 216 current accounts. Money Order facilities had already been introduced but the exact date of this facility being introduced is not known.
In June 1875 a Telegraph Office was opened at the Post Office and it would appear that this was the year in which the Hotham office was raised to official status. The Post Office report tor 1875 states that -"Grants in aid having been made by the Government to the municipal bodies at Footscray and Hotham, provision has been made for a Post and Telegraph Office in connection with the Town Hall at each place. Both buildings will be ready for occupation as soon as fittings can be provided".
The Hotham Post and Telegraph Office was completed and occupied in 1876. Mr. J. McGibbon remained as postmaster at an annual salary of 250 pounds ($500) and controlled a staff of four. By 1882 the staff had increased to ten and 1884 Returns showed that the staff included a Female Telegraph operator who received an annual salary of 80 pounds, and a senior letter carrier who received £114.8.0 per annum.
Mail processed at the office amounted to 88,492 articles, 5,577 telegrams were received and dispatched and 4,408 money order transactions completed. Two years later, 1886 mail has increased to 129,492 articles, telegrams, 12,326 money orders, 4,674 and Saving Bank accounts 6,822 while Mr. McGibbon was receiving 270 pounds per annum. In the 1885 List of Permanent Officers, Mr. McGibbon is shown as having been appointed a permanent officer on 1 January.
During 1887 the name of Hotham was changed to North Melbourne. The 1895 Australian Handbook mentions that tram cars ran every few minutes to and from the city and that the fare was 3 pence.
There were six branch banks, seven churches and about seventy-four hotels, six schools, three State schools and in the town was located the Melbourne Benevolent Asylum. There were 4,443 dwellings, 523 ratepayers and rateable property in the municipality (area 565 acres) of net annual value £156,661. The population was 22,325.
The 1903 list of Permanent Officers gives the name of J. Parry as postmaster, North Melbourne. Mr. McGibbon's name does not appear in the list of Permanent Officers for 1889.
However, Mr. McGibbon was the first postmaster and during, at least, 25 years continuous service he had watched the growth of the area and the office from a sparsely populated area to a large suburb - the 1879 Victorian Gazetter gives the number of electors at Hotham as 5,983.
By Mr. E Pearce. Postmaster North & West Melbourne.
The first Hotham (North Melbourne) Post Office, in Queensberry Street. There is a group of people out side, which may include the postmaster, J McGibbon. Next door is Wylie and Haddow, a hardware shop. All these buildings are extant, although the post office was moved to the Town Hall in the 1870s.

Dubai Holding and Emaar Properties have announced Dubai Square, a new retail metropolis in Dubai, that will "push the boundaries of modern retail and leisure by drawing on next-generation technology".
Located in Dubai Creek Harbour, the $3.5 billion project will boast 750,000sq m of retail space spread across three levels.
The retail metropolis is set to become the world's largest shopping centre, dwarfing the 660,000sq m New South China Mall in Dongguan.
Integrating indoor and outdoor shopping, Dubai Square will be more than twice the size of the existing The Dubai Mall.
The wider retail, entertainment and residential complex will be 2.8 million sq m in size.
The shopping centre will lie at the base of Dubai Creek Tower designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, a super-tall structure which, at 928 meters, will eclipse the Burj Khalifa.
Dubai Holding, the government's global investment holding, and property developer Emaar Properties have styled Dubai Square after famous shopping districts from around the world, including Oxford Street in London, Beverly Hills in Los Angeles and the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
With Dubai being the fourth most visited destination in the world, Dubai Square will also be the closest mega-retail district to millions of visitors passing through Dubai International Airport, located just 10 minutes away.
"Dubai Square will play a pivotal role in further establishing Dubai as the next champion of global retail."
"The destinations we have delivered, such as Jumeirah Burj Al Arab, JBR, Global Village and Business Bay, are some of the most recognisable urban landmarks of today," Dubai Holding chairman Abdulla Al Habbai said.
Shopping for fashion will be "unique and immersive" thanks to special VIP dressing rooms, smart fitting rooms with interactive mirrors, curated private fashion collections, personalised AI recommendations and 3D printed clothing and accessories.
"Dubai Square is where technology meets the human touch, and retail meets next-generation entertainment."
Quick checkout solutions, search and barcode scanning applications, radio-frequency identification technology, mobile payments and click-and-collect services will also be incorporated into retail stores.
Specially designed apps for ordering food and beverage on the premises will minimise queuing and long wait-times, while some vendors are set to provide personalised dining recommendations and 3D-printed food delicacies.
Furthermore, Dubai Square will feature an Art District - from permanent exhibitions to ephemeral performance art, from large-scale concerts to one-man shows.
The shopping centre will also offer a waterpark, cinema, sports arena and will also be home to the Middle East's largest Chinatown.
"Dubai Square disrupts the traditional mall and retail experience." Emaar Properties chairman Mohamed Alabbar said.
As the centrepiece of Dubai's new Creek Harbour, the mall will eventually be part of a 550-hectare mega-development.
Creek Harbour will eventually comprise 7.3m sq m of residential space, 940,000sq m of retail precincts, 300,000sq m of commercial space, over 66,000sq m of cultural space, 700,000sq m of parks and open spaces, and 24 hotels with 5,800 rooms.
When completed, Dubai Creek Harbour will be home to over 200,000 people.

Bullington has a late-night dinner of white bread after dressing up for Halloween.
Bullington and a housemate go to all of the churches within walking distance of their home to seek help to pay their $600 in overdue rent to prevent eviction.
Bullington is told she will not be able to receive financial assistance from Christ Episcopal Church until after her eviction date.
After her eviction, Bullington moves in with a friend she's known since middle school. Bullington hoped that this arrangement would be long-term.
Bullington waits for Cova's father to arrive to share in the Thanksgiving Day meal she prepared. He never came.
Bullington works hard and loves Cova but knows her situation is precarious and she struggles with doubt, "I feel like I'm not doing the best I can as her mom. I can't give her a nice house and everything she needs."
Bullington and her daughter, Cova, take a mid-afternoon nap.
Heartbreak and hardship fill the days of the 18-year-old mother, Clarissa Bullington. After the birth of her daughter Cova, Bullington had a falling out with her parents and now moves house to house living with friends. Although working at a fast-food restaurant, it's tough to make ends meet and affordable daycare is hard to find. Cova's father pops into and out of their lives at random.
The United States has the highest teen pregnancy and birth rate in the industrialized world. Kentucky is above the national average. Teen mothers are more likely to drop out of school, remain unmarried, and live in poverty; their children are more likely to be born at a low birth weight, grow up poor and enter the child welfare system.


I've got a radical women's oil business plan for you: get out of your damn way.
I have worked in the oil and gas industry for over 30 years. A lot has changed. I have seen booms. I have seen busts. And I have seen women who could have had booming careers in this industry rob themselves of their potential.
When I started oil and gas was a boy's only club. Today, you can find women leaders throughout the oilfield. But we could have several more women in leadership positions if we would follow a simple women's oil business plan.
It might be easier for women to climb the corporate ladder today than it was 30 years ago, but we still have to do battle with that nasty little voice.
Growing up my older brother always told me I could do anything a guy could do. I think that had an effect on me. I believe it to this day, and I believe it's true for any woman who puts her mind to a task.
The simple fact of the matter is that this is America. Financial independence is the birthright of every American. If we relentlessly execute our vision, course correct when necessary, and push through the resistance we will win.
No matter what that voice says!
My husband and I got married in 1983. 2 years later we got pregnant. This is a trying time for many women's oil business plans. Often times, those plans get put on hold indefinitely.
Not mine. I knew what I wanted to do, and where I wanted to go. You can't make it in oil and gas without passion. I was so head over heals with my work I couldn't stop.
I was still going to courthouses to do lease research pulling heavy books off high shelfs when I was 8 1/2 months pregnant. I worked until the very end. I loved every minute. That's what kept me going.
When my son was just 3 weeks old he got very sick. His health was devastated. We spent days pacing at the hospital until the word came down. He had a disease of the brain known as encephalitis. It's a terrifying virus that eats brain tissue.
It took an extreme toll on me. My family and I made the hospital our home for 8 months while he was recovering. Somehow, I was still able to keep up with some of my contacts in the field.
After he was well, I was able to go back to the courthouse. I got lost in my research. And really, that saved my life.
The long hours at the hospital. The sleepless nights at the house. It was all so overwhelming. The courthouse became my refuge. That was the one place on earth I could forget and escape my problems for just a moment.
Your problems might not be as severe. I pray they aren't. But know that problems will come. Obstacles will present themselves at every turn. Don't let your plans get derailed because you don't have the right women's oil business plan in place.
We already talked about several uphill struggles women face in the oilfield. Let's talk about the opposite problem some women's oil business plans have.
Some women come into the industry and assume they will automatically be successful because they're a woman. Let's call it like it is right now.
Don't think that just because you're a woman, the industry is going to roll out the red carpet. You have to earn your keep. Yes, men might be more inclined to listen to what you have to say. But you really have to know your stuff. If you don't, you won't make it.
Study, research, and work hard. Strive to be the best. That's the only way you'll make it in this industry. At the end of the day it's all about the quality of your work. And you can't produce quality work without doing your homework.
If you're attitude isn't right, don't expect to get very far in this industry. You can't play the victim, and you can't think you're entitled. You have to strike the balance of a professional.
Professionals overcome their limiting beliefs. Professionals do whatever it takes to succeed. Professionals don't make excuses. If you can stick it out, you can be as successful as anyone in this industry.
Even Mr. T. Boone Pickens himself!
Are you a woman working in the oilfield? What obstacles have you face in executing your women's oil business plan? What advice would you give to a young woman just getting into the industry?


Below are a few of our most frequently asked questions.
Q How many measurements and quotes can I generate?
As many as you'd like. There are no limits to the amount of measurements and quotes you can create. Learn More.
Q How will my customers pay for their quote?
Your customers can prepay for your quote using any standard credit/debit card or via their PayPal account. You can also signup for Stripe or Square which will allow you to accept payments online as well. All payments via either option are deposited into your bank account. We do not take a cut of any of your sales nor do we store any of your customer's payment information. All payment options (PayPal, Stripe & Square) are completely free and easy to signup for. Learn More.
Q Do you integrate with QuickBooks?
Connect to your QuickBooks Online account to access and post information with it.
Import your customers from QuickBooks into Projectquoting.com.
Export customers from Projectquoting.com into your QuickBooks account.

Q What checkout options can I offer my customers?
We offer a few pre-configured ones out of the box such as "Prepay via Credit / Debit Card", "Interested", "Further Questions", etc. However, you can create your own custom checkout options and determine the checkout flow if you'd prefer. You can also accept deposits instead of full payments at checkout time.
Q Can I accept deposits?
Yes, using our custom checkout options you can configure the ability to accept a percentage deposit of the total instead of the full payment at checkout time.
Q Do you support SMS (text messages)?
Yes. You can enable the SMS addon in your PQ account to enable sending of quotes and invoicesto customers via SMS. You can also set it up to receive real-time notifications whenever a customer fills out your quoting widget.
Q Can I ask the customer follow-up questions?
You certainly can. We allow you to create as many questions to ask the customer as you'd like. If you enable them during quote creation, the customer will be prompted and required to answer your additional questions prior to checkout. All customer responses can then be found within the quote details for your review.
Q Can I send a simple invoice to a customer and accept payment?
Yes. While you can allow your customers to prepay for your quote online we also offer simple one-off invoicing which allows you to create an invoice and send it to a customer. These invoicesare fully tracked and you can accept online payments for them. Each invoice costs .75 cents to send and consumes a "Credit" which you can purchase at any time via your account.
Q Can I setup and send a recurring invoice to a customer for payment collection?
Yes. Just like with standard invoicing, you can setup a recurring invoice to be sent to a customer on a schedule that you define. The system will then automatically send the invoice to the customer at the given date. You can even pause future invoices for a given date from sending if services weren't rendered that day.
Q What if my service pricing changes based on the size of my customer's property?
No problem, you can create unlimited pricing tiers. You can also set minimum flat pricing if the size falls below your lowest tier. Pricing tiers can be setup to be rate-based (such as price per measured unit) and calculated out precisely or you can setup a flat rate for a given tier. Learn More.
Q Can I override my pricing for specific situations?
Sure can! We allow you to override all pricing for services, surcharges and add-ons at the time of quote creation. This allows you to always present the price you want. Learn More.
Q What is this Self-Serve Quoting Widget you talk about?
It's pretty cool. It's a little piece of code you drop on your website which allows your customers to receive real-time quotes for your services. They can even measure their properties using our mapping tools and choose from several available checkout options. Learn More.
Q If my business doesn't use measurements to perform quoting, will this still work for me?
Yes! We created Project Quoting to be as flexible and generic as possible to allow all types of industries to create and send professional quotes for their services. The mapping and measurement features are simply an enhancement to facilitate specific industries but are completely optional.
Q Can I create and assign discounts to services?
Yes you can create your own custom discounts that can be applied to services during quote creation. These can be in addition to any prepay discounts you offer and are in the form of a percentage off the total cost of the service. You can create "new customer discounts", "veteran discounts", anything you can think of. It's totally up to you.
Q Do I select the services, surcharges and add-ons to present to a customer in my quote or do they pick them?
You can have it either way, or a mixture of the two. You can select the available services, surcharges and add-ons for your customers to select from or you can have them automatically selected by you at time of quote creation. Learn More.
Q What if the customer is interested in my quote but doesn't want to prepay?
You get to present them with several "checkout" options to choose from including the ability to ask questions or pay with a check later. All conversations are tracked and notifications are sent directly to you for follow-up. You can even converse with the customer post checkout via our platform and the customer's quoting portal to answer any additional questions or schedule services. Learn More.
Q Can customer's electronically sign for the quote during checkout?
Yes. Customer's can review your custom terms & conditions at time of checkout and draw their signature on the screen using their mouse or fingertip (if on a mobile device). The signature is stored within the customer's quote details.
No problem. You can still create a quote for them using the platform and save it off as a PDF. The PDF can then be emailed or handed to them with instructions on how to fill it out and mail it back to the provider. You can even mail them an "online only" PDF which instructs them how and where to go online to view the quote and checkout using the normal online process. They will also be prompted for their email address upon viewing, so you will now have their email for future quoting and communications. We make it easy for them to get to your quote online with the addition of scanning a QR code with their smartphone that gets generated directly on the PDF. Scanning this barcode will take them directly to their quote. No typing involved!
Q Will I need to measure a customer's property every time I want to create a quote?
Nope. Every time you measure a customer's property we store their measurement information so next time you go to quote them for services we import what was last on file. You can however measure again or edit the size if you'd like. Learn More.
Q Can I automate my quoting?
Yes! You can schedule quotes to be sent out at a future date to a single customer or a list of customers. We also handle automated email reminders to your customers to encourage them to view and checkout with their quote if they haven't finalized it within a certain number of days. This makes ProjectQuoting.com a powerful marketing and sales tool. Learn More.
Q Do you support routing?
Yes. Select from your available quotes and generate a fully optimized route between all your waypoints. You can also save these routes and automatically send them to your Smartphone for turn by turn directions. Learn More.
