Effectiveness of whistleblower laws in combating corruption
Whistleblower laws are becoming important governance tools in both the public and private sectors. To examine the effectiveness of whistleblower laws and their awareness, this study creates a unique internet-based measure of awareness about whistleblower laws and provisions, focusing on the United States. Placing the analysis within the larger corruption literature, our results show that greater whistleblower awareness results in more observed corruption and this holds across specifications. Internet awareness of whistleblower laws appears to be more effective at exposing corruption than the quantity and quality of whistleblower laws themselves.

|Re: Configuring Isapi Redirector with IIS
|Wed, 14 Feb 2001 16:57:58 GMT
<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en">  Randy,
Thanks for the quick response. I forgot to add the crucial point that accessing Tomcat directly, something like http://localhost:8080/examples/servlets/index.html works perfectly. But when you take out the port (expecting redirection from IIS to Tomcat), I get inetinfo Application Error and it crashes the IIS.
worker.properties file looks like:
<tt>#</tt>
<tt># Simple worker configuration file</tt>
<tt>#</tt><tt></tt>
<tt>worker.list=ajp12</tt><tt></tt>
<tt>worker.ajp12.port=8007</tt>
<tt>worker.ajp12.host=localhost</tt>

The filter points to the isapi_redirect.dll and it has the green arrow in the ISAPI Filters.
I did reboot. :-)
 It seems to me like there might be several things wrong.
 First, check your workers.properties file. It seems like you might
not have the ajp12 worker defined or maybe defined incorrectly. Next, check
the registry entry for the worker.properties file.
 Second, look at your filter. The executable for the filter needs to
be isapi_redirect.dll (the message looks like it might not point to the dll,
just the directory).
 If that doesn't do it, I would suggest trying a new DLL, after the
Windows NT fix-all - reboot.

Subject: Configuring Isapi Redirector with IIS
I have followed the instructions in "Tomcat IIS HowTo" by Gal Shachor
<email@example.com> to set up IIS to redirect requests to Tomcat on an
NT machine. I don't want to repeat again all the steps that appears in
the document in this email. Whenever I try to test the redirection of
requests from IIS to Tomcat, I get an error. It appears in the "Event

Does anyone know what is wrong here? The error is 401 which is not

Should Virginia amend its constitution to allow the state — not just local school boards — the authority to establish charter schools?
That question could be before voters in a November 2016 referendum.
The issue has the potential to become a heated one in the upcoming General Assembly session, pitting school boards and an education establishment who say they want to protect existing public schools against those who say they want to bring more options to parents.
Charter schools — which operate with public money but hold some autonomy from local school divisions — have grown in number across the country in recent years.
But while many states...

Colorado Via Chicago
That's when James Mazzio left Colorado for Chicago, where he took on a chef's gig for a restaurant that didn't yet exist and spent a year waiting for its owner to get his shit together before giving up and coming home. And then what line did he walk onto? Via's—with its battered staff and reputation and menu perfectly suited for a suburban Iowa strip mall.
I asked him once why he'd done it.
He told me he thought it would be fun.
Double bat-shit crazy, all the way."
That's the Via story, in a nutshell -- a tale of misery, redemption and conchiglie with smoked chicken in Pecorino cream sauce. For all the details, check out this week's review of Via. And when you're done with that, you can read all about the Best of Denver fallout in Bite Me, come along with me on a late-night trip to Viva Burrito for shitfaced drive-thru breakfast burritos, and see what chef Sean Yontz has been up to at Chama -- Denver's second-best restaurant for just about all things Mexican. -- Jason Sheehan

I've got an NSTableView which stretches from edge to edge on my window, but the data in the cells on the edge of the table really need some padding. The window doesn't look good if I leave a gutter on the edges, so I'd like to try to add some padding inside some of the cells so the data isn't right up against the edge.
I can't find anything in Interface Builder or in the code documentation about adding padding or insets to the cells.
Any suggestions?

Vermont officials surprised by NC shooting suspectThe Associated Press | February 20,2013MONTPELIER — Vermont corrections officials say they're surprised by the charges against a Randolph man who allegedly shot a North Carolina state trooper four times.
Twenty-three-old Mikel Edward Brady was arrested Tuesday in Durham on charges of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill Trooper Michael Potts.
The 42-year-old trooper was shot four times Monday. He is recovering from his wounds.
Brady's criminal record dates to 2007 and includes multiple convictions for burglary and grand larceny.
Before Monday's alleged shooting, the most recent charge against Brady was poaching deer.
Vermont Corrections Commissioner Andy Pallito says there was nothing in Brady's past "that would lead you to believe he was going to be pulled over on the side of the road and randomly shoot a cop four times."MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

A.C. Gonzalez is Dallas' New City Manager
In the end, it was unanimous. Each member of the Dallas City Council voted this morning to hire A.C. Gonzalez as city manager.
Gonzalez, a 15-year veteran at City Hall, has been serving as interim city manager since Mary Suhm stepped down last year. His role in the Uber scandal aside, he never stopped being the odds-on favorite for the job.
His selection, ironically enough, was couched in the rhetoric of change.
Mayor Mike Rawlings, critiquing the City Hall bureaucracy as insufficiently responsive, said that "more rapid strategic significant changes will come if A.C. Gonzalez becomes city manager.
"He has convinced me number one priority is to create more change than we have seen and that we've seen from any of the other candidates."
Gonzalez echoed the "change" theme in brief remarks accepting the job.
"This vote of confidence in me is an indication in your belief that positive change can and will be achieved from within, and I'm confident that we can get started on those changes sooner, not later."
He will be closely watched by some on the council. Despite their unanimous vote today, the behind-the-scenes contest was much closer, with Oakland City Administrator Deanna Santana reportedly falling just one vote shy.

Their suggestion:
"Note: This burial is among the Ariail family, therefore, her middle initial could represent a maiden name of Ariail."
JFYI///this is actually Hattie Elizabeth Strange
someone else also has her buried under her lst marriage to Ariail so thats the confusion they obviously did not realize she mrd again after he died. So the A is for her lst married name

Omar Mason Ariail, 48, prominent citizen of Banks County, died at the local hospital Wednesday night after being rushed here a few days before, having suffered a cerebral hemorrage. His home was in Maysville. He was born in Franklin County, the son of Lettie Duncan and James Leland Ariail. At an early age he was married to Miss Hattie Strange and a few years later moved to Maysville, engaging in the mercantile business and also in farming. Mr. Ariail was of a quiet, unassuming disposition, honest, trustworthy and reliable. He was good to his family and friends and the unusually large gathering of friends and relatives and the large floral offerings at his funeral attests to the popularity in which he was held by the people of Jackson and Banks Counties. At the time of his death he was a deacon of the Maysville Baptist Church and was a Mason. Funeral services were conducted from the Baptist Church in Maysville Friday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, the Rev. JB Brown, assisted by Rev. JB Logan of Athens, officiating.
Pallbearers were Messrs. LW Eberhart, Floyd Savage, TP Anderson, ML Payne, John T. Miller.

Northwoods Spotlight - Joe Bucher shares fishing tips - April 9
Submitted: 04/09/2014
Story By Marisa Silvas
- He hosts a fishing show, is a hall of fame angler and has his own line of lures. Joe Bucher is the ultimate outdoorsman. Last weekend he held a free fishing seminar in Tomahawk.
"This is one of the things I enjoy the most," Bucher explains. "If I'm not fishing, it's fun talking fishing."
More than 40 anglers came to hear Bucher's fishing tips. It seems all of them were there for different reasons.
"I watch his show all the time ("Fishing with Joe Bucher") and use a lot of his lures," Mike Biever of Tomahawk said. "I'm a big musky fisherman so I like to come hear what he says about muskies."
"My husband and I live on a lake so we go fishing," Lynn Stangler of Tomahawk adds. "I have a problem setting my hook and he's always teasing me about it. So I thought I could learn a little bit about how to set the hook."
The long winter racked up the second highest snowfall in the history of the area, but Bucher says there is a silver lining - as far as fishing goes.
"I think the biggest thing we can look forward to is water levels are going to be better," Bucher explains.
Bucher has traveled the world to fish, but says there's no place like home.
"I live in Northern Wisconsin because I love the fishing here," Bucher adds. "I can go 25 miles in any direction and I can fish 10 different species of fish."
You can catch "Fishing with Joe Bucher" Sunday nights at midnight here on Newswatch 12.

Feingold prepares for August primary
Submitted: 07/27/2016
Play Video
- In less than two weeks, Wisconsin voters will head to the polls to vote in the state's primary.
That's why former Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) is encouraging people to vote on August 9th.
He faces another democratic senate candidate Scott Harbach from Kenosha.
"I wouldn't say I'm nervous but I take nothing for granted," Feingold said at a Wausau event on Wednesday.
"You should never take an election for granted and that's why we're working very hard at traveling all over the state this week to help people take advantage of early voting and if not to make sure they get out to vote on August 9th."
If Feingold wins the election, he faces incumbent Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) in November.
A recent Marquette University Law School poll shows Feingold leading. The link is posted below.
But Feingold said he doesn't want to get too hung up on the numbers.
"I don't want to get really serious about polling, that isn't the way that I've ever conducted myself," Feingold said. "What I do is go out to listen to people and find out directly not through polling what people are thinking and how they're feeling."
A third candidate named Phillip Anderson is also running for the same senate seat. He is a libertarian from Fitchburg.

Rhinelander community supports family in need

Play Video
- At 51 years old, Rhinelander's Chris Moore felt off for months. In May it got worse. His wife knew something was wrong.
"Oh no we're going to call an ambulance," said Chris Moore.
Doctors diagnosed Moore with unhealthy heart muscle, an irregular heartbeat, and heart failure. His heart now works at 20 percent. Moore had to resign from his job a grave digger.
"Hardest thing I've ever done was to sit and watch," said Chris Moore.
Moore's wife Sherri only works part-time and says Chris may have to wait months to years for social security disability to kick in.
"We sold a truck, boat," said Sherri.
But it wasn't enough to pay the bills. That's when a friend unexpectedly stepped up.
Janelle Schroder is putting on rummage and baking sales this week. She is also putting on a benefit for the Moore Family in August.
"I knew somebody had to do something," said Schroder.

Northwoods research studies relationship between shoreline development, fish community health
Submitted: 07/27/2016
- Research shows lakes with no shoreline development generally produce bigger, faster-growing fish. Lakes with heavily developed shorelines, full of homes, lawns, beaches, and docks, have the opposite effect.
Researchers at the UW-Madison Trout Lake Station in Boulder Junction want to know more about that dynamic.

Bison farmers share the health benefits with the midwest
Submitted: 07/27/2016

- Driving through the Northwoods, you can see plenty of deer, cows, and horses… But bison? That's a little rarer.
Unless you travel to a ranch in Florence County, where the Rock family thinks they've tapped into a special and healthy food source.
Raising bison has always seemed normal to Michael Rock. His favorite is Badaxe, who is 25 years old.
"He became my baby and I feed him maple syrup and apples all the time, that's his favorite treat," said Michael.
But the Rock family knows their livestock are rare for these parts.
"We got into it for the health issues because now we know what we're eating," said David.
David started the business about 10 years ago. These days, the Rocks have around 130 bison on their Florence County ranch.
"For me this is enjoyment because I'm outside and I'm with my family. And I like to be outside and work with them on that," said David.
Two of the Rocks' four children live and work on the ranch.
"Being able to tell them what to do. I'm still the dad, so I rule the roost. They are a big help and they do have good ideas. You do have to watch the younger generation," said David.
Their daughter, Josie, and son, Michael, help with feeding and maintaining the herd.
"My favorite are the babies. The babies when they're younger, they like fighting and playing. And they'll just be running around and playing," said Josie.
But raising these animals isn't just about entertainment. In the 1800's, bison were almost killed off. Now, the Rocks hope to promote the animal's health benefits be carefully managing which ones go to be processed.
"Bison is about the only other meat out there that they can eat. It's healthier than chicken, it's healthier than salmon, pig, beef, anything. It's the top of the line," said Karen.
Raising an animal is a large project, one that Michael would like to do for a long time.
"I like bailing hay with the tractors, I like taking care of the animals. I have a future goal, to have big barns full of them," said Michael.
All of their meat is sent to the U. P. to a USDA approved facility and most of it stays local to the Midwest.

mySociety is an e-democracy project of the UK-based registered charity named UK Citizens Online Democracy.[2] It began as a UK-focused organisation with the aim of making online democracy tools for UK citizens.[3] However, as those tools were open source, the code could be and soon was redeployed in other countries.[4]
mySociety's more recent mission has been to simplify and internationalise its code[5] to make it easier for people all over the world to run citizen-empowering websites. Additionally, through the Poplus project, it hopes to encourage others to share open source code[6] that will minimise the amount of duplication in civic tech coding.
Like many non-profits, mySociety sustains itself with a mixture of grant funding[7] and commercial work, providing software and development services to local government and other organisations.[8]
mySociety was founded by Tom Steinberg in September 2003,[9] and started activity after receiving a £250,000 grant in September 2004.[10] Steinberg says that it was inspired by a collaboration with his then-flatmate James Crabtree which spawned Crabtree's article "Civic hacking: a new agenda for e-democracy".[7][11]
In March 2015, Steinberg announced his decision to stand down as the Director of mySociety.[12] In July of that year, Mark Cridge became the organisation's new CEO.[1]

|Current status
WhatDoTheyKnow[15][16] is a site designed to help people make Freedom of Information requests. It publishes both the requests and the authorities' responses online, with the aim of making information available to all, and of removing the need for multiple people to make the same requests.[17][18][19][20] The site acts as a permanent public archive of FOI requests made through it.[21][22]
Around 15% to 20% of requests to UK Central Government are made through WhatDoTheyKnow.com.[23][24] Over 16,800 public bodies have been added to the site, mainly by volunteers.[25] More than 294,000 requests have been made using the site[26] and more than 4.5 million people visited it in 2014[27]
WhatDoTheyKnow has been described by the Guardian as "an idiot's guide to making a freedom of information request." [28] The Information Commissioner's Office has stated that it believes "the most up-to-date informal list of all public authorities is held on the website".[29] Information released through the site has given rise to serious and less serious news stories.[30][31][32] The site is used by a number of MPs.[33]
The site was originally available only in English but a partially translated Welsh version was added in 2013.[34]
In 2011, the site cost around £12,000 a year to run.[13] The server costs are partly sponsored[35] by Bytemark Hosting.
WhatDoTheyKnow started life as the winning idea for mySociety competition in 2006 for ideas for public interest websites to build.[36] Both Phil Rodgers and Francis Irving entered the idea of a site to make it easy to make Freedom of Information requests.[37] Francis Irving later became the main developer of the site [38] which was launched in 2008.[39]
The site was nominated for a number of awards:
- Daily Telegraph best green websites - ranked number 2 [40]
- New Media Awards - Democracy in Action Finalists 2008 [41]
- New Media Awards - Innovation Winner 2008 [42]
WhatDoTheyKnow volunteer Alex Skene gave evidence to Justice Committee related to Post-Legislative Scrutiny of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 on 21 Feb 2012.[43]
As with other mySociety citizen-to-government software, mySociety sells WhatDoTheyKnow as a service for councils. In April 2012, Brighton and Hove councillor Jason Kitkat announced: "We [the council] are working with mySociety to adapt their WhatDoTheyKnow system to support a better workflow for freedom of information requests and proactive publishing of everything we release." [44]
WhatDoTheyKnow was developed as open-source software. It now runs on the Alaveteli platform, which is itself an adaptation of the original code written to power WhatDoTheyKnow. Alaveteli was developed to make easier the process of setting up a site like WhatDoTheyKnow in other countries.
|Development status
|Written in
|Ruby on Rails
|Operating system
Alaveteli is free/open source software to help citizens write Freedom of Information requests and automatically publish any responses.[46]
Alaveteli is described as "a project to create a free, standard, internationalised platform for making Freedom of Information (FOI) requests".[47][48] Alaveteli is funded by the Open Society Institute and the Hivos Foundation.[49]
It started life as the software running WhatDoTheyKnow, a UK site that publishes responses to FOI requests. The original WhatDoTheyKnow code was written primarily by Francis Irving while working for mySociety.[50] Alaveteli is named after Alaveteli in Finland where Anders Chydenius who was an early campaigner[51] for Freedom of Information worked as a curate. Alaveteli is the name for the software rather than a public facing website or brand.
People who run sites on the Alaveteli platform are also invited to become part of a community, with support and tips shared via a message board,[52] and regular conferences[53]
Parliamentary monitoring[edit]

TheyWorkForYou is a parliamentary monitoring website which aims to make it easier for UK citizens to understand what is going on in Westminster as well as Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly and the Northern Ireland Assembly. It also helps create accountability for UK politicians by publishing a complete archive of every word spoken in Parliament, along with a voting record and other details for each MP, past and present.
TheyWorkForYou does not publish original content: it scrapes from the official sources, then presents debates and information about representatives in a more accessible version.
For example, TheyWorkForYou's version of Hansard may be searched, and each section has its own permalink so that it can be shared easily.
The site aggregates content from the Hansard records of the House of Commons, House of Lords, Scottish Parliament and the Northern Ireland Assembly, along with other publicly available data such as the MPs Register of Members' Interests, election results, Wikipedia entries, and voting records, providing a "digital dossier on your local MP".[56] It also has a facility to alert users by email to speeches by an MP or specific words appearing in Hansard. In 2008, The Daily Telegraph rated it 41st in a list of the 101 most useful websites.[57]
TheyWorkForYou was not originally built by mySociety, but was adopted by them in 2006. Its original version was created almost entirely by volunteers using the parsing software of Public Whip, and launched at NTK's NotCon '04 conference[58] At the time, Cory Doctorow called it "the most amazing, subversive piece of political webware I've ever seen".[59]
As time passed, more features were added and more areas of Parliament were covered, such as debates and information on members of the House of Lords back to 1999.[60] Around the 2005 general election, Channel 4 used a branded version of TheyWorkForYou to supply their MP data.[61] The site won the Community and Innovation award in the 2005 New Statesman New Media Awards, with the judges saying that they "were unanimous in feeling that TheyWorkForYou was the nomination that has done most to contribute to civic society in the UK.".[62] In the House of Lords, in a debate on the Power Inquiry, Lord Gould of Brookwood referred to TheyWorkForYou and the other mySociety sites as "probably the biggest single catalyst for political change in this country".[63]
In summer 2006, the Department for Constitutional Affairs funded the creation of an API for the site so other sites could use the data from the site themselves.[64] This has enabled a variety of uses, from MPs publishing out their most recent speeches onto their own websites, to researchers combing the data for insights into the way that politicians debate.
Later that year, Matthew Somerville added the entire Northern Ireland Assembly Hansard and all MLAs to the site.[65]
As with most of mySociety's other projects, TheyWorkForYou's underlying code is open source. A New Zealand developer adapted it to create TheyWorkForYou New Zealand, while in June 2008 OpenAustralia[66] was launched by the OpenAustralia Foundation with the assistance of mySociety, putting the Register of Senators' and Members' Interests online for the first time ever in Australia.[67] In April 2009, an Irish version of TheyWorkForYou was launched in beta form. Called KildareStreet,[68] it contains Irish parliamentary data from January 2004 to the present day.
Contrary to what these reuses might suggest, the code for TheyWorkForYou is complex and UK-specific: while encouraging others to set up Parliamentary Monitoring websites for their own countries, these days mySociety suggests their more generic platform, Pombola.[69]
TheyWorkForYou has become so established in the workings of Parliament itself that one MP has used the fact that her husband subscribes to email alerts on her speeches to remind him of their 30th wedding anniversary.[70]
When the site launched, it did not have the right to reproduce Hansard, and no licence for it existed. A licence was later given, and click-use licences for Parliamentary copyright information were created as a result.[71]
In early 2006, The Times published an article stating that MPs were "making forgettable contributions to debate" or tabling numerous written questions simply to boost their participation statistics on TheyWorkForYou.[72] This led to a debate in the House of Commons on the increase in questions, led by Peter Luff.[73] The site removed absolute rankings and added some more explanatory text in response,[74] and held a meeting at Parliament later in the year to discuss better metrics.[75] In summer 2006, Jack Straw, Leader of the House of Commons also mentioned TheyWorkForYou as a site which "seems to measure Members' work in quantitative rather than qualitative terms".[76]
In a Business debate on 26 April 2007, Theresa May stated that TheyWorkForYou had been "threatened with legal action for repeating what was printed in Hansard" but Jack Straw confirmed that "publication... of a fair and accurate account of a debate in either House is protected".[77]

WriteToThem is a website which allows UK citizens to contact their elected representatives. Users do not need to know their representatives' names: instead, using the mySociety software MapIt,[79] the site matches their postcode to its various constituency boundaries, before displaying elected representatives at all levels of UK government from local councillors to MEPs. Users can send messages to them from the site;[80][81] responses are then sent directly to the user's email address. Unlike many mySociety sites, there is no public element to the correspondence.
The site launched in 2004 as FaxYourMP,[82] allowing users to type a message into the website which would then be sent as a fax to their representative's office.
A year later, it rebranded as WriteToThem,[83] sending messages by email or as faxes to those representatives who did not yet operate an email account.
mySociety publish an annual table to show which MPs are the most and least responsive;[84][85] this is based on the results of a rolling survey which is sent to users two weeks after they use the site.
In 2006, it was reported by the Guardian that the Conservative MP Ian Liddell-Grainger appeared to admit in an email to the site to attempting to "up" his rating by sending himself queries.[81]

The Indigo Trust funded roll-out to further countries, with a particular focus on the provision of transparency websites for sub-Saharan Africa.[89]
Among other features, Pombola allows for websites that publish parliamentary transcripts, hold a database of information about politicians, and, using the mySociety software MapIt, can match a user's home location to their constituency.

|Current status
FixMyStreet[97] is a map based website and app that helps people inform their local authority of problems needing their attention, such as potholes, broken streetlamps, etc.
Reports are also published on the site.[98][99][100][101]
While most local councils have their own reporting systems, FixMyStreet solves the fact that the reporter may not know which authority is responsible for a specific type of problem in a specific location.[102] By use of the MapIt software, FixMyStreet matches users' postcodes and the category of their problem to the correct local authority.[103]
The site was initially funded by the Department for Constitutional Affairs Innovations Fund[104] and built by mySociety, in conjunction with the Young Foundation; the code for the site was written by Francis Irving, Matthew Somerville, and Chris Lightfoot. The site was originally launched as "Neighbourhood Fix-It", but it was decided to change to a shorter and easier name in June 2007 when one became available.[95] A FixMyStreet app was developed in 2008 to enable iPhone users to report problems using their phones,[105] and since then volunteers have written apps for Nokia and Android, as well as another app for the iPhone.[95]
FixMyStreet won an award at SustainIT eWell-Being Awards in 2008,[106] and has been listed in various newspaper best or top websites.[107][108] The site was an inspiration for the government's "Show Us A Better Way" contest.[109]
A version of the site for reporting abandoned empty homes, in conjunction with the Empty Homes Agency, Shelter Cymru and the Scottish Empty Homes Partnership, was launched in late 2008, and was called "a model of easy use" by the Guardian[110] This site was repurposed for the Channel 4 TV series The Great British Property Scandal in December 2011, which was nominated for a BAFTA and an Emmy.[111] An adapted version of the FixMyStreet software also underlies cycle accident-reporting site Collideoscope[112]
In 2010, FixMyStreet was closely integrated with The Guardian newspaper's Guardian Local project. Emily Bell wrote in her launch message: "A hugely important part of this project has been the involvement of MySociety, who we've collaborated with to provide customised versions of their civic tools, allowing and encouraging local residents to report issues, contact their representatives and generally become engaged in the governance and care of their locality.",[113] and Alistair Tibbitt, Development Manager for Greener Leith wrote "the Guardian certainly deserve plaudits for integrating the local FixMyStreet service so tightly into their new Edinburgh Beat Blog."[114]

FixMyStreet platform is software which enables anyone to run a FixMyStreet-type site in their own city or country.
The UK FixMyStreet inspired similar sites in other countries: in order to prevent the need for people to write code from scratch, mySociety refined the FixMyStreet open source codebase, making it more generic, easier to install, and able to handle different maps, including OpenStreetMap. This process was kickstarted when the NUUG funded the development of a Norwegian version FiksGataMi,.[116][117]

Interactive isochrone map on Mapumental.com

|Initial release
|Development status
|Written in
|Operating system
Mapumental is software for displaying journeys in terms of how long they take, rather than by distance, a technique also known as isochrone or geospatial mapping.
Users input one or more postcodes and Mapumental displays a map overlaid with coloured bands, each of which represent a set increment of time. Initial work on the project was done by Chris Lightfoot, using open data from Railplanner, Transport Direct and the TfL Journey Planner[137]
It was built with support from Channel4ip[138]
Mapumental can be combined with other data sets, for example, property prices[139] and 'scenicness' data (see ScenicorNot, below).[140][141][142][143][144] It is now provided as a commercial service by mySociety to clients such as the Fire Protection Association[145]
Poplus [146] is an international federation of organisations who benefit through the sharing of civic code and online technologies. It was set up in April 2014 by mySociety in collaboration with Chilean e-democracy organisation Fundación Ciudadano Inteligente.[147][148]
Poplus encourages the development of free, open source civic 'blocks' of software, which it terms 'Components'.[149] These are intended to save time for anyone making one of the classic civic tech tools for parliamentary monitoring, accountability, transparency, et cetera.
In 2014 Nominet awarded Poplus a place in the Nominet Trust 100[150]
Poplus Components[edit]
The following Components were developed by mySociety. Those developed by other organisations may be seen on the Poplus website.[151]
- SayIt [152] Software for publishing transcripts of debates (e.g. from parliaments, court proceedings and meetings[153]
- WriteIt [154] Software for running a site that enables users to write to politicians, in public or private.
- MapIt [155] Software for matching a geographical point with its legislative boundaries. MapIt underlies several mySociety websites such as FixMyStreet and WriteToThem, where it allows for a user to input a postcode and be matched to the correct authority or representative.
Other projects[edit]
