City Council vets budget cuts
The Mercer Island City Council continued its deliberation of the upcoming 2001-2012 last Monday and Thursday evenings.
The Council worked its way through a dozen budget proposals of several departments, beginning with police. At the outset of the budget planning, directors were instructed by the City Manager Rich Conrad to cut items that would not affect the level of services to citizens. Conrad noted that $800,000 has already been pulled out of the initial budget. "The next set of cuts," he said, "will reduce (city) services."
Council questions in particular focused on justifying the need for employees and the timing of replacement of city assets such as computers or vehicles.
For his department, Police Chief Ed Holmes, explained that one of the two "hire ahead" positions would be eliminated at a savings of $90,000. A "hire ahead" position allows the police department to hire an officer ahead of need, and time and pay them as they train, in order to have them immediately available when the need arises. However, cutting the position means that the budget for officer overtime would need to be increased by $32,000 to make up the difference if the department required another officer right away.
The proposed budget for the police also included cutting one of the record clerk positions, to half-time status. What that means for the public is that window hours at the station at city hall will be fewer and that requests for information maybe delayed, said Holmes. The police budget kept the school resource officer position for 2011 which is projected to reach $119,000 in 2011.
In response to extensive questioning of the police budget proposal, City finance director Chip Corder praised the police department's efforts to cut costs. Corder stated that: "no other city department stepped up to the budget challenge like the police. "The police department came to the table with the most cuts," he said.
The three-person staff of the municipal court will make do with a half a position less in the coming year despite a growing workload. The cut will bring savings of $46,000. Both Corder and Judge Wayne Stewart said that the defeat of the county tax increase will mean that courts such as Mercer Island might have to help with the case loads of other jurisdictions.
The City Manager's office will make due with a part-time communications coordinator or perhaps no coordinator at all. The Council was divided as to the need of the position at any level. Conrad had proposed cutting the position by 40 percent to save the city $50,000.
The City Maintenance department will also do with less people, letting go of at least two seasonal positions, a trail maintenance position and the reduction of one facilities maintenance position by half. The impact from these and other changes to the department would mean that one person would not be available for snow plow duty in a big storm, explained director Glenn Boettcher. The snow and trail people do "double duty," he said.
The city is proposing $544,000 from new revenue sources to offset the budget shortfall in the General Fund. Fees and a tax increase proposed include:
• Increase property taxes by 1 percent or about $12 per year per household.
• Implement a fee for ambulance transport of $500.
• Increase building fees so that they more accurately reflect building costs and add new development fees related to Fire Marshal plan review and building permit.
• Institute an access fee for the scheduled use of the City's athletic fields.
• Increase room rental rates at the Community Center at Mercer View.
More meetings are set for budget review.
Information and details for all of these items can be found at www.mercergov.org.

FixMyStreet has been around for nearly nine years, letting people report things and optionally include a photo; the upshot of which is we currently have a 143GB collection of photographs of potholes, graffiti, dog poo, and much more. 🙂
For almost all that time, attaching a photo has been through HTML's standard file input form; it works, but that's about all you can say for it – it's quite ugly and unfriendly.
We have always wanted to improve this situation – we have a ticket in our ticketing system, Display thumbnail of photo before submitting it, that says it dates from 2012, and it was probably in our previous system even before that – but it never quite made it above other priorities, or when it was looked at, browser support just made it too tricky to consider.
Here's a short animation of FixMyStreet's new photo upload, which also allows you to upload multiple photos:
For the user, the only difference from the current interface is that the photo field has been moved higher up the form, so that photos can be uploading while you are filling out the rest of the form.
Personally, I think this benefit is the largest one, above the ability to add multiple photos at once, or the preview function. Some of our users are on slow connections – looking at the logs I see some uploads taking nearly a minute – so being able to put that process into the background hopefully speeds up the submission and makes the whole thing much nicer to use.
Progressive enhancement
When creating a new report, it can sometimes happen that you fill in the form, include a photo, and submit, only for the server to reject your report for some reason not caught client-side. When that happens, the form needs to be shown again, with everything the user has already entered prefilled.
There are various reasons why this might happen; perhaps your browser doesn't support the HTML5 required attribute (thanks Safari, though actually we do work around that); perhaps you've provided an incorrect password.
However, browsers don't remember file inputs, and as we've seen, photo upload can take some time. From FixMyStreet's beginnings, we recognised that re-uploading is a pain, so we've always had a mechanism whereby an uploaded photo would be stored server side, even if the form had errors, and only an ID for the photo was passed back to the browser so that the user could hopefully resubmit much more quickly.
This also helped with reports coming in from external sources like mobile phone apps or Flickr, which might come with a photo already attached but still need other information, such as location.
Back in 2011, I wrote about how FixMyStreet maps are progressively enhanced, starting with a base of HTML image maps and layering on the normal slippy map experience on top. This has always been the way I have worked, and adding a snazzy JavaScript photo upload was no different.
mySociety designer Zarino used dropzonejs to supply the "pop"™, and this works in a nicely easy-to-progressively-enhance way, hiding existing file input(s) and providing fallbacks. And with the behaviour the site has had since 2007, adding the server side element of this new photo upload was actually very straightforward – receive a photo and return its ID for a snippet of JavaScript to insert into the hidden form field of photo ID that has always been there in case of form error. No need to worry about how to match up the out-of-band photos with the main form submission, it's all already taken care of. If the JavaScript doesn't or can't work for whatever reason, the old behaviour is still there, using the same mechanisms.
Of course there were edge cases and things to tidy up along the way, but if the form hadn't taken into account the user experience of error edge cases from the start, or worse, had assumed all client checks were enough, then nine years down the line my job would have been a lot harder.
Anyway, long story short, adding photos to your FixMyStreet reports is now a smoother process, and you should try it out.
A few of mySociety's developers are at DjangoCon Europe in Cardiff this week – do say hello 🙂 As a contribution to the conference, what follows is a technical look (with bunny GIFs) into an issue we had recently with serving large amounts of data in one of our Django-based projects, MapIt, how it was dealt with, and some ideas and suggestions for using streaming HTTP responses in your own projects.
MapIt is a Django application and project for mapping geographical points or postcodes to administrative areas, that can be used standalone or within a Django project. Our UK installation powers many of our own and others' projects; Global MapIt is an installation of the software that uses all the administrative and political boundaries from OpenStreetMap.
A few months ago, one of our servers fell over, due to running entirely out of memory.
Looking into what had caused this, it was a request for
/areas/O08, information on every "level 8" boundary in Global MapIt. This turned out to be just under 200,000 rows from one table of the database, along with associated data in other tables. Most uses of Global MapIt are for point lookups, returning only the few areas covering a particular latitude and longitude; it was rare for someone to ask for all the areas, but previously MapIt must have managed to respond within the server's resources (indeed, the HTML version of that page had been requested okay earlier that day, though had taken a long time to generate).
Using python's
resourcemodule, I manually ran through the steps of this particular view, running
print resource.getrusage(resource.RUSAGE_SELF).ru_maxrss / 1024after each step to see how much memory was being used. Starting off with only 50Mb, it ended up using 1875Mb (500Mb fetching and creating a lookup of associated identifiers for each area, 675Mb attaching those identifiers to their areas (this runs the query that fetches all the areas), 400Mb creating a dictionary of the areas for output, and 250Mb dumping the dictionary as JSON).
The associated identifiers were added in Python code because doing the join in the database (with e.g.
select_related) was far too slow, but I clearly needed a way to make this request using less memory. There's no reason why this request should not be able to work, but it shouldn't be loading everything into memory, only to then output it all to the client asking for it. We want to stream the data from the database to the client as JSON as it arrives; we want in some way to use Django's StreamingHTTPResponse.
The first straightforward step was to sort the areas list in the database, not in code, as doing it in code meant all the results needed to be loaded into memory first. I then tweaked our JSONP middleware so that it could cope when given a StreamingHTTPResponse as well as an HTTPResponse. The next step was to use the json module's
iterencodefunction to have it output a generator of the JSON data, rather than one giant dump of the encoded data. We're still supporting Django 1.4 until it end-of-lifes, so I included workarounds in this for the possibility of StreamingHTTPResponse not being available (though then if you're running an installation with lots of areas, you may be in trouble!).
But having a StreamingHTTPResponse is not enough if something in the process consumes the generator, and as we're outputting a dictionary, when I pass that dictionary to the json's
iterencode, it will suck everything into memory upon creation, only then iterating for the output – not much use! I need a way to have it be able to iterate over a dictionary…
The solution was to invent the iterdict, which is a subclass of dict that isn't actually a dict, but only puts an iterable (of key/value tuples) on items and iteritems. This tricks python's JSON module into being able to iterate over such a "dictionary", producing dictionary output but not requiring the dict to be created in memory; just what we want.
I then made sure that the whole request workflow was lazy and evaluated nothing until it would reach the end of the chain and be streamed to the client. I also stored the associated identifiers on the area directly in another iterator, not via an intermediary of (in the end) unneeded objects that just take up more memory.
I could now look at the new memory usage. Starting at 50Mb again, it added 140Mb attaching the associated codes to the areas, and actually streaming the output took about 25Mb. That was it 🙂 Whilst it took a while to start returning data, it also let the data stream to the client when the database was ready, rather than wait for all the data to be returned to Django first.
But I was not done. Doing the above then revealed a couple of bugs in Django itself. We have GZip middleware switched on, and it turned out that if your StreamingHTTPResponse contained any Unicode data, it would not work with any middleware that set Content-Encoding, such as GZip. I submitted a bug report and patch to Django, and my fix was incorporated into Django 1.8. A workaround in earlier Django versions is to run your iterator through
map(smart_bytes, content)before it is output (that's six's iterator version of map, for Python 2/3 compatibility).
Now GZip responses were working, I saw that the size of these responses was actually larger than not having the GZip middleware switched on?! I tracked this down to the constant flushing the middleware was doing, again submitted a bug report and patch to Django, which also made it into 1.8. The earlier version workaround is to have a patched local copy of the middleware.
Lastly, in all the above, I've ignored the HTML version of our JSON output. This contains just as many rows, is just as big an output, and could just as easily cripple our server. But sadly, Django templates do not act as generators, they read in all the data for output. So what MapIt does here is a bit of a hack – it has in its main template a "!!!DATA!!!" placeholder, and creates an iterator out of the template before/after that placeholder, and one compiled template for each row of the results.
Now Django 1.8 is out, the alternate Jinja2 templating system supports a
generate()function to render a template iteratively, which would be a cleaner way of dealing with the issue (though the templates would need to be translated to Jinja2, of course, and it would be more awkward to support less than 1.8). Alternatively, creating a generator version of Django's Template.render() is Django ticket #13910, and it might be interesting to work on that at the Django sprint later this week.
Using a StreamingHTTPResponse is an easy way to output large amounts of data with Django, without taking up lots of memory, though I found it does involve a slightly different style of programming thinking. Make sure you have plenty of tests, as ever 🙂 Streaming JSON was mostly straightforward, though needed some creative encouragement when wanting to output a dictionary; if you're after HTML streaming and are using Django 1.8, you may want to investigate Jinja2 templates now that they're directly supported.
[ I apologise in the above for every mistaken use of generator instead of iterator, or vice-versa; at least the code runs okay 🙂 ]
You might not be in the ward you think you are. Due to ongoing boundary changes, many people will be voting within new wards this year. Confused? Fortunately, you can use our new MapIt-powered ward comparison site to see whether you'll be affected by any new boundaries.
Pop your postcode in at 2015wards.mysociety.org and if your boundary is changing you'll see your old and new wards.
These alterations are generally put in place by the Local Government Boundary Commissions, in an aim to even out the number of constituents represented by each councillor.
Since its launch in 2005, WriteToThem has always covered all parts of the United Kingdom, and the Northern Ireland Assembly was the first body added to TheyWorkForYou after the UK Parliament, in late 2006. So whilst we certainly have not ignored Northern Ireland, it had always been an irritant of mine (and a cause of infrequent emails) that FixMyStreet only covered Great Britain.
This was due to the way it had originally been funded and set up, but those issues were in the past, due to a myriad of changes both internal and external, and it was now more a case of being able to find the resources to implement the necessary work. Late last year, mySociety worked with Channel 4 on the website for their series of programmes on The Great British Property Scandal. This used, in part, code similar to FixMyStreet to let people report empty homes, and it was required to work in all parts of the UK. So as part of that process, code was written or generalised that let aspects of FixMyStreet like the maps and place name lookup work for Northern Ireland locations.
It's taken a few months since then to allocate the time, but we've now been able to take the code written back then, add various other bits, and incorporate it into FixMyStreet – which now covers the 26 councils of Northern Ireland, and the central Roads Service. Issues such as potholes, graffiti, and broken street lighting can be reported to Antrim or Newry and Mourne as easily as Aberdeen or Wyre Forest, and just as in the rest of the UK you can sign up for alerts based around your location or to your council.
FixMyStreet, our site for reporting things like potholes and broken street lights, has had something of a major redesign, kindly supported in part by Kasabi. With the help of Supercool, we have overhauled the look of the site, bringing it up to date and making the most of some lovely maps. And as with any mySociety project, we'd really appreciate your feedback on how we can make it ever more usable.
The biggest change to the new FixMyStreet is the use of responsive design, where the web site adapts to fit within the environment in which it's being viewed. The main difference on FixMyStreet, besides the obvious navigation changes, is that in a small screen environment, the reporting process changes to have a full screen map and confirmation step, which we thought would be preferable on small touchscreens and other mobiles. There are some technical details at the end of this post.
Along with the design, we've made a number of other improvements along the way. For example, something that's been requested for a long time, we now auto-rotate photos on upload, if we can, and we're storing whatever is provided rather than only a shrunken version. It's interesting that most photos include correct orientation information, but some clearly do not (e.g. the Blackberry 9800).
We have many things we'd still like to do, as a couple of items from our github repository show. Firstly, it would be good if the FixMyStreet alert page could have something similar to what we've done on Barnet's planning alerts service, providing a configurable circle for the potential alert area. We also are going to be adding faceted search to the area pages, allowing you to see only reports in a particular category, or within a certain time period.
Regarding native phone apps – whilst the new design does hopefully work well on mobile phones, we understand that native apps are still useful for a number of reasons (not least, the fact photo upload is still not possible from a mobile web app on an iPhone). We have not had the time to update our apps, but will be doing so in the near future to bring them more in line with the redesign and hopefully improve them generally as well.
The redesign is not the only news about FixMyStreet today
As part of our new DIY mySociety project, we are today publishing an easy-to-read guide for people interested in using the FixMyStreet software to run versions of FixMyStreet outside of Britain. We are calling the newly upgraded, more re-usable open source code the FixMyStreet Platform.
This is the first milestone in a major effort to upgrade the FixMyStreet Platform code to make it easier and more flexible to run in other countries. This effort started last year, and today we are formally encouraging people to join our new mailing list at the new FixMyStreet Platform homepage.
Coming soon: a major upgrade to FixMyStreet for Councils
As part of our redesign work, we've spoken to a load of different councils about what they might want or need, too. We're now taking that knowledge, combining it with this redesign, and preparing to relaunch a substantially upgraded FixMyStreet for Councils product. If you're interested in that, drop us a line.
Kasabi: Our Data is now in the Datastore
Finally, we are also now pushing details of reports entered on FixMyStreet to Kasabi's data store as open linked data; you can find details of this dataset on their site. Let us know if it's useful to you, or if we can do anything differently to help you.
Technical details
We originally used Modernizr.mq() in our JavaScript, but found that due to the way this works (adding content to the end of the document), this can cause issues with e.g. data() set on other elements, so we switched to detecting which CSS is being applied at the time.
On a mobile, you can see that the site navigation is at the end of the document, with a skip to navigation link at the top. On a desktop browser, you'll note that visually the navigation is now at the top. In both cases, the HTML is the same, with the navigation placed after the main content, so that it hopefully loads and appears first. We are using display: table-caption and caption-side: top in the desktop stylesheet in order to rearrange the content visually (as explained by Jeremy Keith), a simple yet powerful technique.
From a performance point of view, on the front page of the site, we're e.g. using yepnope (you can get it separately or as part of Modernizr) so that the map JavaScript is downloading in the background whilst you're there, meaning the subsequent map page is hopefully quicker to load. I'm also adding a second tile server today – not because our current one isn't coping, it is, but just in case something should happen to our main one – we already have redundancy in our postcode/area server MapIt and our population density service Gaze.
If you have any technical questions about the design, please do ask in the comments and I'll do my best to answer.
We had a complaint that FixMyStreet maps weren't displaying on someone's computer. We hadn't had any other complaints, and we quickly narrowed it down to the fact that the person was on the internet using a tethered T-Mobile phone.
However, their implementation breaks things. In this particular instance, the T-Mobile JavaScript comment stripper appears to be searching for "/*" and "*/" and removing everything inbetween. This might work in most cases; however in the jQuery library, we find a string containing "*/*", and later down the file, another string containing "*/*". T-Mobile remove everything between the things it thinks are comment markers, even though they're actually contained within strings, causing the jQuery library to be invalid JavaScript and stopping anything using jQuery from running.
Their decision to inline lots of the CSS also seems a bit odd – sure, on a mobile this might be quicker, but even ignoring tethering nowadays plenty of mobiles have caches too and having the CSS download once and be cached would seem better than adding weight to every page download. But I'm sure they've studied their decision there, and it doesn't make any difference to the actual browsing, as opposed to the comment removal.
To turn off this feature on your mobile phone or broadband, visit accelerator.t-mobile.co.uk or accelerator.orange.co.uk on your connection and pick the relevant option – if anyone knows of similar on other networks, do leave updates in the comments.
This post explains how various aspects of the new FixMyStreet maps work, including how we supply our own OS StreetView tile server and how the maps work without JavaScript.
Progressive enhancement
We investigated many different maps, and as I wrote in my previous blog post, we decided upon a combination of OS StreetView and Bing Maps' OS layer as the best solution for the site. The specific OpenLayers code for this (which you can see in map-bing-ol.js is not complicated (as long as you don't leave in superfluous commas breaking the site in IE6!) – overriding the getURL function and returning appropriate tile URLs based upon the zoom level. OpenLayers 2.11 (due out soon) will make using Bing tiles even easier, with its own seamless handling of them, as opposed to my slight bodge with regard to attribution (I'm displaying all the relevant copyright statements, rather than just the one for the appropriate location and zoom level which the new OpenLayers will do for you). I also had to tweak bits of the OpenLayers map initialisation so that I could restrict the zoom levels of the reporting map, something which again I believe is made easier in 2.11.
Having pluggable maps makes it easy to change them if necessary – and it also means that for those who wish to use it, we can provide an OpenStreetMap version of FixMyStreet. This works by noticing the hostname and overriding the map class being asked for; everything necessary to the map handling is contained within the module, so the rest of the site can just carry on without realising anything is different.
OS StreetView tile server
Things started to get a bit tricky when it came to being ready for production. In development, I had been using http://os.openstreetmap.org/ (a service hosted on OpenStreetMap's development server) as my StreetView tile server, but I did not feel that I could use it for the live site – OpenStreetMap rightly make no reliability claims for it, it has a few rendering issues, and we would probably be having quite a bit of traffic which was not really fair to pass on to the service. I wanted my own version that I had control over, but then had a sinking feeling that I'd have to wait a month for something to process all the OS TIFF files (each one a 5km square) into millions and millions of PNG tiles. But after many diversions and dead ends, and with thanks to a variety of helpful web pages and people (Andrew Larcombe's guide [dead link removed] to his similar install was helpful), I came up with the following working on-demand set-up, with no pre-seeding necessary, which I'm documenting in case it might be useful to someone else.
Requests come in to our tile server at tilma.mysociety.org, in standard OSM/Google tile URL format (e.g. http://tilma.mysociety.org/sv/16/32422/21504.png. Apache passes them on to TileCache, which is set up to cache as GoogleDisk (ie. in the same format as the URLs) and to pass on queries as WMS internally to MapServer using this layer:
[sv] type=WMS url=path/to/mapserv.fcgi?map=os.map& layers=streetview tms_type=google spherical_mercator=true
MapServer is set up with a Shapefile (generated by gdaltindex) pointing at the OS source TIFF and TFW files, meaning it can map tile requests to the relevant bits of the TIFF files quickly and return the correct tile (view MapServer's configuration* – our tileserver is so old, this is still in CVS). The OUTPUTFORMAT section at the top is to make sure the tiles returned are anti-aliased (at one point, I thought I had a choice between waiting for tiles to be prerendered anti-aliased, or going live with working but jaggedy tiles – thankfully I persevered until it all worked 🙂 ).
Other benefits of OpenLayers
As you drag the map around, you want the pins to update – the original OpenLayers code I wrote used the Markers layer to display the pins, which has the benefit of being simple, but doesn't fit in with the more advanced OpenLayers concepts. Once this was switched to a Vector layer, it now has access to the BBOX strategy, which just needs a URL that can take in a bounding box and return the relevant data. I created a subclass of OpenLayers.Format.JSON, so that the server can return data for the left hand text columns, as well as the relevant pins for the map itself.
Lastly, using OpenLayers made adding KML overlays for wards trivial and made those pages of the site much nicer. The code for displaying an area from MaPit is as follows:
if ( fixmystreet.area ) { var area = new OpenLayers.Layer.Vector("KML", { strategies: [ new OpenLayers.Strategy.Fixed() ], protocol: new OpenLayers.Protocol.HTTP({ url: "/mapit/area/" + fixmystreet.area + ".kml?simplify_tolerance=0.0001", format: new OpenLayers.Format.KML() }) }); fixmystreet.map.addLayer(area); area.events.register('loadend', null, function(a,b,c) { var bounds = area.getDataExtent(); if (bounds) { fixmystreet.map.zoomToExtent( bounds ); } }); }
Note that also shows a new feature of MaPit – being able to ask for a simplified KML file, which will be smaller and quicker (though of course less accurate) than the full boundary.
*Broken link removed, Nov 2014
Last week, FixMyStreet gained a number of new features that we hope you will find useful.
Firstly, we've thrown away our old maps and replaced them with new, shiny, zoomable maps. This should make it easier for people to find and report problems, especially in sparser locations. We're using the OS StreetView layer (hosted internally) when zoomed in, reverting to Bing Maps' Ordnance Survey layer when zoomed out, as we felt this provided the best combination for reporting problems. In urban areas, you can still see individual houses, whilst in more rural areas the map with footpaths and other such features is probably of more use. FixMyStreet tries to guess initially which map would be most appropriate based upon population density, meaning a search for Stroud looks a bit different from that for Birmingham.
OpenStreetMap fans, don't worry – as part of our mapping technology upgrade, you can now use osm.fixmystreet.com to access your favourite mapping instead.
Secondly, we now have user accounts. We've rolled these out alongside our current system of email confirmation, and it's up to you which you use when reporting a problem or leaving an update. This means that those who come to the site one time only to report a pothole can continue to do so quickly, but have the option of an account if they want. Having an account means you no longer have to confirm reports and updates by email, and you have access to a page listing all the reports you've made through FixMyStreet, and showing these reports on a (obviously new and shiny) summary map.
Other improvements include a much nicer All Reports section, so you can see all reports to Adur District Council on a map, paginated and with the boundary of the council marked – and individual wards of councils now each have their own pages too.
I'll follow up this post with another, more technical, look at the maps and how they work, for anyone who's interested 🙂
TheyWorkForYou has, until now, only covered things that have already happened, be that Commons main chamber debates since 1935, Public Bill committees back to 2000, or all debates in the modern Northern Ireland Assembly.
From today, we are taking the UK Parliament's upcoming business calendar and feeding it into our database and search engine, which means some notable new features. Firstly, and most simply, you can browse what's on today (or the next day Parliament is sitting), or 16th May. Secondly, you can easily search this data, to e.g. see if there will be something happening regarding Twickenham. And best of all, if you're signed up for an email alert – see below for instructions – you'll get an email about any matching future business along with the matching new Hansard data we already send. We currently send about 25,000 alerts a day, with over 65,000 email addresses signed up to over 111,000 alerts.
Mark originally wrote some code to scrape Parliament's business papers, but this sadly proved too fragile, so we settled on Parliament's calendar which covers most of the same information and more importantly has (mostly) machine-readable data. Duncan and I worked on this intermittently amidst our other activities, with Duncan concentrating on the importer and updating our search indexer (thanks as ever to Xapian) whilst I got on with adding and integrating the new data into the site.
I've also taken the opportunity to rejig the home page (and fix the long-standing bug with popular searches that meant it was nearly always Linda Gilroy MP!) to remove the confusingly dense amount of recent links, bring it more in line with the recently refreshed Scottish Parliament and Northern Ireland Assembly home pages, and provide more information to users who might not have any idea what the site covers.
Signing up for an email alert: If you want to receive an email alert on a particular person (MP, Lord, MLA or MSP), visit their page on TheyWorkForYou and follow the "Email me updates" link.

As well as council elections and the referendum, the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Assembly, and Northern Ireland Assembly are holding elections this May. In Scotland and Northern Ireland, there are accompanying boundary changes, meaning this year you might be voting in a different constituency from last time.
To help people, as we've again had a few requests, our service from the 2010 general election is back, at http://www.theyworkforyou.com/boundaries/, just for the Scottish Parliament and Northern Ireland Assembly. Our generic lookup service MaPit also provides programmatic access to these results (technical footnote).
Alongside this service, we have refreshed our Scotland and Northern Ireland front pages, to slightly better display and access the wide array of information TheyWorkForYou holds for those devolved legislatures.
Sadly the Scottish Parliament changed the format of their Official Report in mid January and we haven't been able to parse the debates from then until its dissolution this March – hopefully we'll be able to fix that at some point, and apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime.
There don't appear to be any central official lists of candidates in these elections. Amnesty.org.uk has a PDF of all candidates in Northern Ireland; David Boothroyd has a list of Scottish Parliament candidates. CAMRA appears to have lists for both Scotland and Wales. Those were simply found while searching for candidate lists, we obviously hold no position on those organisations 🙂
Technical footnote: To look up the new Scottish Parliament boundaries using MaPit, provide a URL query parameter of "generation=15" to the postcode lookup call. The Northern Ireland Assembly boundaries are aligning with the Parliamentary boundaries, so you can just perform a normal lookup and use the "WMC" result for the new boundary.

I'm using the latest version of Skype I think, for my distribution, which is version 18.104.22.168 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with KDE desktop, on a new Acer netbook.
When calling a user running Windows XP which also claims to be running the lastest version of Skype, I get the error message,
"Problem with 'Legacy' client"
and the call is not connected.
What does this mean please?
He's considering upgrading to Linux too. Will that fix the problem?

I am now having a simular problem, does anyone have any possible solutions ?
It surprises me that the Skype support does not seem to have any info on the "problem with legacy client" error message, and searching the web did not help either, is this such a rare problem ?
The thing is that initially I was able to successfully make a video call from a Linux computer to a Windows XP computer, then a short while later when I tried to make a call to the same XP computer I got that error message, but nothing was changed on either computer, that is why it is so puzzling.

Ok, today I tried doing a video call between the same 2 computers, from a Linux to a windows xp and it worked again.
This could be an intermittent problem where sometimes it gets an error message and sometimes it works I'll see how it goes over time.
Even if it is an intermittent problem there still needs to be a fix so it is more dependable.

Baby Girl Card Ideas!
June 18th, 2013 | by Cut@Home
One of the best purchases I have made in my lifetime has been my Die Cutting Machines and some dies because I have saved so much money (well, you know what I mean) by making my own cards like these baby girl card ideas! Doing this has given me a creative outlet in my cards and scrapbook layouts and have the capability to make original cards for others. I love that and I know that all of you do too, since we share the same passion! I made these cards mainly with Spellbinders dies and my brand new, pretty blue Sizzix

Cards' Motte focused on healthy return to mound -- whenever that might be
Can you imagine Jason Motte throwing even harder than he did before Tommy John surgery? Hey, it could happen. But the Cardinals reliever isn't chomping at the bit to find out. That is, if all goes well with his rehab work one day, he takes another baby step the next day. And that's just the way it has to be -- which is perfectly fine with Jason.
ST. LOUIS -- Nearly nine months after undergoing Tommy John surgery, Cardinals reliever Jason Motte doesn't know when he'll return to the mound.
"It won't be a normal spring training," he said, and that's about all the specifics he knows regarding his comeback.
Motte headed to Camp Jupiter in Florida last week to begin a throwing program that, barring setbacks, would put him back in the bullpen sometime before the Fourth of July. That could mean Opening Day, Memorial Day or, really, who knows.
"I don't know a timetable," he said at the Winter Warm-Up. "You don't want to rush it to where we're not doing anything but hurting me and everyone else."
Motte says the final stages of his comeback will proceed much like the early months after his surgery last May 7. That is, if all goes well with his work one day, he takes another baby step the next day. Return time from elbow ligament replacement surgery typically is around a year, give or take up to three months. If that seems like too wide a window, it's in line with Tommy John comebacks of three other relievers in recent seasons:
• Joe Nathan underwent surgery at the end of spring training in 2010 and was back for the start of 2011. Nathan, who is eight years older than the 31-year-old Motte, scuffled for much of that season but returned to elite form in 2012 and was even better in 2013.
• Neftali Feliz needed longer than Nathan, missing from May 18, 2012, until Sept. 1, 2013. Feliz is a hard thrower, as is Motte, but also is six years younger and throws a devastating slider, a pitch that is considered harder on the throwing arm than a fastball.
• Brian Wilson missed nearly 16 months of big league duty, from April 12, 2012, until Aug. 22, 2013. Also a hard thrower, Wilson is just four months older and he returned throwing as well as ever. What makes his comeback different -- not to mention remarkable -- is that it was from his second Tommy John surgery.
No wonder Motte doesn't want to be pinned to a timetable. "Everybody is different," he said. "Everybody's body reacts different to the surgeries, to this and that. It's a process, a slow process. I'm just chilling, trying to get better."
Frankly, Motte isn't worried about his return date. Nor should he be, for at least three good reasons:
• He gained a new perspective on life and baseball when he sat out last season. Typically limited to two hours of rehab on most days, Motte had plenty of time to spend at home with his wife, Caitlin, and their baby daughter, Margaret, who was born last Jan. 7. Motte also became close with a young cancer patient, Brandt Ballenger, and frequently hung around him and his family in the months before Brandt died last July.
"Stuff like that really didn't make (sitting out) that hard, to be honest with you," Motte said. "If you'd ask me a couple of years ago, I'd probably have had a different answer. I'd have been chomping at the bit."
• With or without him, the Cardinals' relief corps is set up for success. "We have some pretty good guys down there so it's not like they're really hurting," Motte said.
One of those guys is Trevor Rosenthal, who was appointed to Motte's old job as closer shortly after the 2013 World Series. Before manager Mike Matheny made the announcement, he called Motte to tell him his old position would be taken.

"I get it 100 percent," Motte said. "There's the uncertainty with my arm. Coming back, there's no telling if you'll be 100 percent right away. It's about winning ballgames. I've been 100 percent in the ninth inning and still blown the mess out of games. Me going out there not being 100 percent isn't where you want someone to be in the ninth inning. Trevor, with what he's done, has been awesome."
• Perhaps most significant, worrying about his comeback wouldn't do Motte a bit of good. "Me rushing isn't going to help anyone," he said. "I need to take my time, get healthy and get where I can go out there and help the team win."
Motte contributed plenty last year by offering counsel to the rookie-stocked bullpen and cheering on his teammates. He remained as upbeat as anyone on the club. His teammates so much appreciated his ways at and away from the ballpark that they voted him the winner of the team's Darryl Kile award for being a "good teammate, a great friend, a fine father and a humble man."
He had become a fine closer, too, before his elbow blew last spring. Since the surgery, he has been told that some Tommy John survivors come back throwing even harder than before. Considering that Motte could touch triple digits with his fastball, he would be more than happy if that happens. "If it's less than that, I may have to figure out how to pitch," he said, half-jokingly.
The Cardinals maintain that Motte remains on schedule.
"The key for him when he starts his throwing program is how quickly he can assume real game activity," general manager John Mozeliak said. "As we stand here, I don't know that answer. I'm optimistic he'll be a contributor at some point in the near future."
Returning from Tommy John is more demanding for a reliever than for a starter in at least one way. A starter knows when he will pitch, and can use the days between starts to rest and prepare. A reliever has to be ready to go two, three or even four days in a row. Coming off surgery adds to the task.
"Once you're in it, you're in it," Motte said. "If they need you (one day) and you do well, and your situation comes up tomorrow, it's like, 'Hey how are you doing?' You want to be able to say, 'Awesome, put me in there.'"
Motte will be pitching for his future, too. He is entering the second year of a two-year, $12 million deal he landed after saving 42 games with a 2.75 ERA in 2012. With such a young and talented bullpen, the Cardinals aren't likely to hand out another such deal for a setup man. Of course, if Motte returns and throws like the man who closed out the 2011 World Series, perhaps he could take back his old job in 2015 and Rosenthal could make his much-desired bid to become a starter.
But for someone who isn't looking past today, Motte says he hasn't given next year much thought.
"I don't really think much about anything, honestly," he said. "Last year my goal was to do what I could to rehab and get myself healthy. This year, it's get healthy, get out there and pitch and help the team win. I really don't think about anything other that."
He really shouldn't, either, considering the challenge he's already facing.

Attempts to indicate which members of your raid will be healed by your next cast of Light of Dawn.
Assumes the Light of Dawn targets a rectangle, 10 yards wide and 30 yards long, with the player situated at the center of one end. Anything in the rectangle is assumed to be within range of Light of Dawn.
In attempting to determine which targets within the rectangle will actually be healed, the possible targets are sorted by health deficit and the top 5, or 6 if glyphed, possibilities are indicated.
I do not have easy access to a Paladin, so I am unsure if this is accurate.

14 cm. A smallish, long-legged coastal plover. Crown and back mid-brown with paler feather fringes, giving mottled appearance, flight-feathers darker. Blackish eyestripes join on the lores, and are divided from the crown by a long narrow pale supercilium, joining on the nape and forehead. Underparts are whitish washed variably with orange, with a fairly wide black breastband. Long legs and feet pale grey. Similar spp. From White-fronted Plover C. marginatus and Kittlitz's Plover C. pecuarius by the strong black breast-band and from Ringed Plover C. hiaticula by the supercilium that circles the crown, the longer, duller greyish legs and paler, more mottled upperparts. Hints Occurs in coastal areas, especially in salt lagoons, shallow muddy pans behind mangroves, alkaline grassland near lakes and pools, and sandy estuaries, where it picks small invertebrates from the surface in typical plover fashion.

Calling PermitOnly has essentially the same effect as calling Deny but is a different way of specifying the conditions under which the security check should fail. Instead of saying that a specified resource cannot be accessed, as Deny does, PermitOnly says that only the resources you specify can be accessed. Therefore, calling PermitOnly on permission X is the same as calling Deny on all permissions except permission X. If you call PermitOnly, your code can be used to access only the resources protected by the permissions that you specify when you call PermitOnly. You use PermitOnly instead of Deny when it is more convenient to describe resources that can be accessed instead of resources that cannot be accessed.
If your code calls PermitOnly on a permission P1, and downstream callers then demand permission P2, the PermitOnly call affects the result of the stack walk only if P1 and P2 are of different types and if P2 is not a subset of P1.
The following code fragments show declarative syntax for overriding security checks using PermitOnly. Callers cannot use this code to access any protected resources except user interface resources. .
Option Explicit Option Strict Imports System Imports System.Security.Permissions Public Class MyClass1 Public Sub New() End Sub <UIPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.PermitOnly, Unrestricted := True)> Public Sub ReadRegistry() 'Access a UI resource. End Sub End Class [C#] using System; using System.Security.Permissions; public class MyClass { public MyClass() { } [UIPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.PermitOnly, Unrestricted=true)] public void ReadRegistry() { //Access a UI resource. } }
The following code example shows imperative syntax for overriding security checks using the PermitOnly method. The UIPermission constructor is passed a PermissionState object that specifies the user interface resources to which access is to be granted. Once the PermitOnly method is called, the code and all callers can be used only to access user interface resources.
Option Explicit Option Strict Imports System Imports System.Security.Permissions Public Class MyClass1 Public Sub New() End Sub Public Sub ReadRegistry() Dim MyPermission As New UIPermission(PermissionState.Unrestricted) MyPermission.PermitOnly() 'Access a UI resource. End Sub End Class [C#] using System; using System.Security.Permissions; public class MyClass { public MyClass() { } public void ReadRegistry() { UIPermission MyPermission = new UIPermission(PermissionState.Unrestricted); MyPermission.PermitOnly(); //Access a UI resource. } }

How to treat ammonia exposure
Ammonia is a colorless gas with a pungent odor that has a number of occupational uses, such as a refrigerant; cleaning and bleaching agent; or additive in fertilizers, plastics and pharmaceuticals. Although exposure in typical environmental concentrations is not considered hazardous, exposure to high concentrations can cause severe burns of the skin, eyes, throat and lungs, potentially leading to death.
Workers exposed to high levels of ammonia should seek medical attention immediately, according to the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health. Until help arrives, the agency suggests taking the following steps:
- Ammonia in the eyes: Irrigate the eyes immediately with large amounts of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.
- Ammonia on the skin: If irritation occurs, gently blot or brush away any excess chemicals and flush contaminated skin with water. If the chemicals penetrate clothing, promptly remove clothing and flush the skin with water.
- Ammonia in the respiratory system: If a worker breathes large amounts of ammonia, move him or her to fresh air immediately. If the worker has stopped breathing, administer artificial respiration. Keep the worker warm and at rest while waiting for medical assistance.

Tennessee's number through eight games is 4-4. That's better than the 3-5 mark most reasonable folks projected last August — assuming losses to Oregon, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and Alabama.
It would be easy to dwell on the fact the Vols were not competitive against the two elite teams on their schedule, losing 59-14 at Oregon and 45-10 Saturday at Alabama. But Trevino had it right: It doesn't matter how the Big Orange got to be 4-4 ... only that it is 4-4.
Watching the 2013 Vols, I'm reminded of the 1981 Vols. They suffered blowout losses to Georgia (44-0), Southern Cal (43-7) and Alabama (38-19) en route to being outscored 265-244 for the season. They managed to eke out some close wins, however, and wound up finishing 8-4.
Like the '81 team, the 2013 Vols lack the overall talent to compete with elite programs. But, like the '81 team, the 2013 Vols seem resourceful enough and scrappy enough to beat some opponents that aren't clearly superior athletically.
The good news is that there are no more elite teams on Tennessee's schedule. Despite impressive records, Missouri and Auburn are beatable. Vanderbilt and Kentucky are quite beatable.
Bottom line: If Tennessee plays the next four games the way it played against Georgia and South Carolina, the Vols can go 4-0 in November. That would produce an 8-4 record ... same as the '81 Vols.
The big picture
Justin Worley's thumb injury may prove to be a blessing. It forced Tennessee to play freshman Joshua Dobbs in the final two quarters against Alabama. Dobbs responded by completing 5 of 12 passes for 75 yards, with a couple of catchable balls dropped. He showed plenty of poise, good instincts and nifty footwork on some read-option keepers.
Although Bama wasn't playing with the same intensity in the second half it was in the first, it's worth noting that Dobbs directed five drives and produced 10 points. He proved himself capable of moving the chains and managing the offense. That's big: The next time Worley is struggling or hurting, Tennessee has a viable Plan B.
Players of the game
Offense: Marquez North
Coming off a three-catch, 102-yard performance against South Carolina, the gifted freshman followed with another spectacular showing against Bama. North caught four passes for 87 yards, including a 28-yard gainer that was the big play on Tennessee's only TD drive.
Defense: LaDarrell McNeil
The sophomore safety was Tennessee's second-leading tackler with 5 solos, 4 assists and 9 total stops. The fact a safety was making that many tackles underscores how ineffective the Vols' front seven was.
Next up…
At Missouri Nov. 2: The fifth-ranked Tigers slipped to 7-1 after blowing a 17-0 fourth-quarter lead and losing 27-24 in two overtimes to visiting South Carolina.

HourlyHours to be determined
Start DateMarch 6, 2013
I require copy editing services for candidate reports generated by an online psychometric assessment instrument.
In summary, the instrument assesses the cognitive abilities and behavioural attributes of candidates with respect to safety and capacity to manage risk.
The narrative report descriptors already exist in their entirety, however, they are currently presented more in an academic/technical style of language.
A sample of the descriptors requiring editing is attached.
I require the descriptors to be rewritten in a plain English format which can be easily understood by a person without a background in psychology or psychometrics.
In addition, the report needs to be of a written standard appropriate for reading by the candidate audience completing the instrument which ranges from unskilled trades support workers through to university qualified persons.
The current job offer is for the editing of an estimated fifteen A4 pages of text and is offered on a "fixed price" basis.
If the work is completed to a satisfactory standard and that can be implemented with no further modification required by me, it is very likely to result in an ongoing longer term relationship.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) -- Student members of the ACT - Animal Care Teen program at Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control will gather together on Saturday, March 15 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. to conduct the 4th annual Stuff the Whisker Wag'n service event.
Their goal is to collect much needed canned food for homeless shelter dogs and cats that arrive every spring, many resulting from animals that were never spayed or neutered. In 2013, Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control provided sheltering for 6,992 lost and homeless cats and 4,982 dogs.
Students are asking for canned pet food because canned food isn't part of the shelter's budget. Still, canned food is needed to entice animals to begin eating, to provide a quick source of moisture to the diet, and to add weight to those animals that arrive malnourished.
People stopping with a donation will be thanked with a coupon for waffle fries from Chick-fil-A as supplies last. The Whisker Wag'n will be parked in the Fort Wayne Animal Care & Control parking lot located at 3020 Hillegas Road. Rain or shine, teens will eagerly await donations.
The Animal Care Teen program, in its 29th year, offers youth who are ages 13-17 an opportunity to learn about animal related careers, develop leadership skills, and to ACT for animals through service work.

The Oklahoma City Thunder took the lead and ran with it on Sunday at Chesapeake Energy Arena, ultimately defeating the Chicago Bulls, 102-72.
The Thunder had a 24-16 lead after one quarter. They proceeded to win every quarter after that, outscoring the Bulls in the third quarter, 31-18.
Chicago had a forgettable (or perhaps unforgettable) night from the floor, shooting a season-low 29.1 percent. That included going 4-of-18 from downtown.
Oklahoma City shot 46 percent fro the floor while going 24-of-27 from the free-throw line, scoring 25 points on 17 Bulls turnovers and out-rebounding Chicago, 52-44.
Player of the Game: Kevin Durant, SF, Oklahoma City Thunder
Russell Westbrook could easily be a candidate for Player of the Game (23 points on 10-of-17 shooting), but Kevin Durant's impact was notable across the board, despite struggling from the field (6-of-19).
Durant finished with 19 points, 16 rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 32 minutes. He posted a plus-minus of plus-22.
Up Next for Bulls
Chicago hosts the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. The Cavaliers are 18-38 this season, but they've won two of their last three games and they played the Miami Heat tough on Sunday. Kyrie Irving leads the team, averaging 23.5 points, 5.7 assists and 1.7 steals this season.
Up Next for Thunder
Oklahoma City hosts the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday. The Hornets are 20-37 this season and boast No. 1 overall pick Anthony Davis, who is averaging 12.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.2 steals.

5 Ways to Improve Your Life in 30 Days
(Credit: Erik Peterson)
There are a lot of things you can do in 30 days. You can buy and return an ab roller, watch a good chunk of Mad Men on DVD (we speak from experience), and, if you're feeling productive, you can finally make a change you've been vowing to make every New Year's, but never really do.
Health-minded site The Well Daily has issued a 30 Day Challenge (presumably inspired by this guy), and we like the sound of it. It's a lot easier to dive into a short-term resolution ("I'm going to skip dessert this month") than a long-term one ("I'm going to skip dessert FOREVER"). And once you're in the habit, it's more likely that the change, or some aspect of it, will stick.
Think about what you'd like to commit to this month. It can be anything–jogging every day, taking photography lessons, mastering nail artistry–but because we always have food on the brain, we've devised five food challenges worth a go:
Summer Vegetable Stir-Fry (Credit: Zach DeSart)
Eat more fruits and vegetables.
You've heard it before, but most of us still don't get the recommended intake. Fill half your plate with produce at every meal.
Replace refined grains with whole grains.
In certain studies, women who ate more whole grains were less likely to have a heart attack and develop type-2 diabetes than those who ate them rarely.
Really pay attention to what you eat.
Decide if you're hungry before taking the next bite. Figure out if that cake is calling you because you're hungry, or just because it's there. We're in favor of indulging when you really want to. But when you're shoveling that 10th handful of Bugles out of motor memory, you're not even really enjoying it.
Black Bean Rice Salad (Credit: Jason Lowe)
Cut back on meat.
Commit to truly meatless Mondays, or to meatless lunches, or to cooking with smaller portions of meat. It can reduce your risk of cancer and shrink your carbon footprint.
Cook at home more.
A BA favorite. Most home-cooked meals (even the ones that aren't exactly spa food) have a nutritional leg up on butter-laden, salt-heavy restaurant food. Vow to prepare all this month's lunches at home, or to cook dinner an extra two nights per week.--Meryl Rothstein
