mobile field service management
Advantages of Advanced Mobile Field Service
But as advantageous as mobile smart devices are for most businesses, they become absolutely vital when an organisation's workforce is actively engaged in operations in the field. Of course, when these field operatives need to be able to easily coordinate their actions, then simply having access to mobile devices is the only step; for peak efficiency and accuracy, those organisations need mobile field service solutions.
What Is Mobile Field Service?
Mobile field service, also known as field service management, is the term used to describe any systems, tools, or processes designed to assist in the coordination of field operations in a mobile workforce. And while early mobile field service software may have been severely limited as a result of overly-bulky devices and limited internet connectivity, its modern successors suffer no such limitations. The equipment that agents now carry into the field can often fit comfortably into a pants- or jacket-pocket, and the introduction of a newer, more-advanced type of mobile field service app means that users never have to sacrifice functionality while away from the office. When used properly, mobile field service increases employee efficiency, while saving time, money, and effort. However, despite these benefits, the reality is that not every mobile field service application, toolset, or system is the same. Some mobile field service solutions provide advantages that others do not. As such, knowing what features are the most beneficial is the key to finding the solution that will put your mobile workforce ahead of the game.
Finding the Right Mobile Field Service Solution
In order to help you find the mobile field service management solution that can best benefit your organisation, we've identified and broken down the some of the most important features, benefits, and functionalities that you as a user would need to understand:
- Increased Mobility While in the Field
Perhaps the most important aspect of mobile field service is mobility. But beyond simply allowing users access to certain features while in the field, true mobility means complete functionality across any device—or even multiple devices at the same time. In order for this to be possible, mobile field service management software needs to be cloud-based. By choosing a cloud-based field service solution, you'll be able to access the entire functionality of the tool, no matter which device you are using, no matter where you are, and no matter how many other authorised users are working with the same data.
This is because cloud technology stores programmes and data off-site, enabling agents complete access remotely via the internet. The data being accessed is updated and synced in real time, so that any changes made are instantly visible to other authorised users, allowing for advanced collaboration between individuals and teams, from anywhere. And, as an added benefit, cloud-based mobile field service requires no expensive hardware installation; as long as your mobile device has internet capabilities, it will be able to access the application, and even integrate it with your existing systems. The result is a faster and more-efficient set of processes, not only for the agent, but also for the customer. That is what true mobility means.
- Scheduling and Tracking in One Simple Step
The basis of field work is the work order. With work orders, users are able to schedule appointments with customers, track projects that have been completed against ones that still need to be completed, and determine the workload of each agent in the field. Advanced mobile field service tools enable users to book appointments and create work orders with almost no effort, and can even automatically allocate assignments based upon employee skills, workload, location, and other factors. These work orders can also be automatically integrated with accounts, assets, cases, contacts, entitlements, and service contracts, so the orders can easily be tracked, and any relevant, valuable data may be captured for analysis.
- Real-Time Monitoring Eliminates Delayed Solutions
Field work means getting out where the customers are, but it also means getting out of the safe, controlled environment of the office. As such, the likelihood of encountering problems, issues, and even emergencies is much higher. With built-in, real-time monitoring, advanced mobile field service tools allow leaders to instantly identify situations that require attention, and keep up with the flow of work being performed by employees as it occurs. Monitoring capabilities ensure that even when the employee is away on an assignment, he or she will never be too distant for someone to lend assistance.
- Easy Customisation for Your Company Needs
You likely aren't the only company in your particular industry, but that doesn't mean that you aren't unique. Your organisation has its own focus, its own processes, and its own needs, so relying on an out-of-the-box mobile field service management software just doesn't make a lot of sense. Field service solutions that allow users to configure the base functionality of the tool, or even customise the tool's code to better suit their demands, means that that at no point will anyone have to worry about whether or not their field service solution will fit their business. And, as your business grows, you'll be able to easily scale the field service to adapt to your changing needs.
The Need for Mobile Field Service
While it's nothing new for businesses to benefit from the aid of field service, mobile solutions are changing the way field service is accomplished. It's predicted that by 2018, 70% of mobile workers will use a tablet or a hybrid device that has tablet-like characteristics, but as this proliferation of mobile smart devices occurs, clients are beginning to expect more from the field agents who assist them. At the same time, data analytics is becoming ever-more important, as organisations learn to leverage customer data into actionable information. As a result, those businesses who are able to provide exceptional customer service, while maintaining a detailed record of work will find themselves at an advantage over competitors that do not. On the other hand, those businesses who forgo advanced mobile field service solutions may find themselves quickly falling behind.
Stay ahead of the curve, by investing in mobile field service for your organisation, and focus on the advantages that come from giving your customers—and your employees—what they want.

Islamic Jihad Movement Calls on Palestinians to Unite against Trump
TEHRAN (Press Shia) – A spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement called on the people of Palestine to unite against US President Donald Trump's planned move to recognize al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the capital of the Israeli regime.
Davoud Shihab underlined that the recognition of al-Quds as the capital of the Israeli regime would be a hostile decision by the US government, Lebanon's Arabic-language Al Mayadeen TV network reported.
The US has proved that it is "a full partner" to the Zionist regime of Israel and complicit in its terrorist activities and acts of aggression against the Palestine people and their sanctities, he said.
The spokesman further called on the Palestinians to preserve their unity to counteract Trump's possible move to relocate the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Quds.
Several US media outlets reported on Friday that Trump plans to announce that al-Quds is the capital of Israel.
Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, said no decision had yet been made.
Palestinian leaders have previously warned the move would threaten a two-state solution.
Israel has occupied East Jerusalem since the 1967 Middle East war. It annexed the area in 1980 and sees it as its exclusive domain. Under international law, the area is considered to be occupied territory.

Feeling stressed about an upcoming job interview? It's only normal to feel that way. Here's my tips, as a recruiter, how to overcome any stress you may be feeling.
Being interviewed is one of the factors that can cause a certain level of stress for any professional; it's a battle against nerves that people sometimes find hard to overcome. People frequently wonder how they will do, what questions will be asked, and ultimately if they will get the job. With these questions swirling in their heads, people wind themselves up into a particular state of mind before going into an interview.
1. Get a good night's sleep – Having a broken sleep will reduce energy for the next day and can even make a person quite grumpy and lethargic.
2. Make sure you eat breakfast – Breakfast is the most important meal of the day which provides the brain and body with fuel for the day.
3. Dress attire – Are you dressed for the right environment? Corporate is always best. Remember, first impressions count.
4. Get there early – Rushing, getting lost, and the fears of being late all provoke anxiety. Print directions and arrive 30 minutes early allowing time get some water and then head to reception 10 minutes before your scheduled time.
5. Be prepared – Make sure you have researched the company and have prepared competency answers relating to all experiences within previous roles. Role-playing in a safe environment with family and friends is a great way to prep.
6. Have your questions ready – Be in the know about the company, ask for facts and figures, show them you are the right person for this role and maintain eye contact with a smile.
7. Pace yourself – Pause, you will not be penalised for taking time to think about your answer. Breathe and speak slowly.
8. Time frame – Ask when you will hear back so you can manage your expectations.
9. Post Interview – Take a break and do something you love so you do not dwell on what you did or did not say. Stay positive in your search for a new job.
10. Smile – By getting to the first stage interview, you are on the right track already so give yourself some credit and a pat on the back.
I know on occasion, waiting for the interview to begin can be stressful. In the past, even the lighting has made me feel nauseous. When I went for my first interview, I could barely sip water in case the interviewer came in and I wasn't ready to stand up in time.
Please do accept that this is completely normal and there are plenty of people who go through the same ordeal but we are all here to help each other. Embrace your nerves as this is not just a job you are going for, this is your career.

About Ilorel
You need to give more importance to the taxation aspect of things. The tax authorites are getting strict. You don't want to get in trouble with the law. You need to surround yourself with people that are good for you. People that will tell you harsh truth than sweet lies.
Ilorel replied to onomewrites's topic in Personal FinanceFor me, investment funds are always a good option. There are better options for investment and earnings when all individual funds are collected into mutual or investment funds. There are also professional fund managers whose job is to look for best investment opportunities
Most likely the reason is bonuses. Bonuses are awarded on Olymp Trade at deposit from $30. In the future, these bonuses can be very useful if you lose and you have a second chance to win back the losses.
Ilorel replied to onomewrites's topic in Personal FinanceExcellent topic with nicely explained retail funds.Somehow I feel that retail funds are sort of neglected among all other means of investment,but they are offering excellent opportunities for diversification of investment portfolio and of course, nice earnings.Very good option for all individuals
Ilorel replied to onomewrites's topic in Personal FinanceNelson, I don't see that this insurance is created only for wealthy people. All people can apply for this insurance and I find it quite useful to sign for a policy as it provides policy-defined financial support to the family of policy owner
Basics of Life Insurance
Ilorel replied to onomewrites's topic in Personal FinancePersonally, I find the need and significant benefits of signing a life insurance policy. Simply because we live in such unsecure world and especially in relation to world economy. I find life insurance as a good way to protect my family at least financially
Types of Life Insurance
Ilorel replied to onomewrites's topic in Personal FinanceLife has become so much unpredictable. A rainy day is just round the corner. I believe that to help yourself at such times, you need insurance. You don't want to become a burden on anyone. There are so many types of insurances. You can get anyone of them depeding upon your circumstances.
Preparing For Retirement, Living Happily Ever After
Ilorel replied to Esther.Dumbiri's topic in Personal FinancePreparing for retirement is not an easy thing. You need to invest your money if you want to live a happy life after retirement as you will not be able to survive on your savings forever. I believe that real estate is the best option if someone is interested in dealing with properties.
For a beginner it's important to be able to search for his own strategy and to have small initial deposit requirements. The first is solved by a free demo mode and a page for technical analysis. There is also an economic calendar for evaluating the foundation. Olymp Trade trading platform has, perhaps, all the common indicators and online help with various videos and so on. Deposit is from 10 dollars. I haven't seen lower anywhere.
Checklist For Would-Be Entrepreneurs
Ilorel replied to Esther.Dumbiri's topic in Personal FinanceI believe that passion and knowledge of the field is very important for any entrepreneur. You need to have passion as motivation when you enter the practical life. There would be many roadblocks in your success destination and that passion will steer you to the right path everytime.

4*Mon, Jan 18, 1971
People: Laurie sitting, crowd
Subject: supplies
Place: Mill Valley, Marin Co, Ca
Activity: gathering supplies and people for taking charter busses to Bolinas Lagoon to help clean-up oil spill
Comments: I think it was a tanker off the Golden Gate. That's my daughter in the center. She still helps clean-ups.
Thanks for the info: the Chevron buy-up of photos, your dad was the manager at the Tiburon Audubon Sanctury, the story. What year Redwood High yearbook has the photos. I'll get a copy.
Volunteers also gathered at the National Audubon Sanctuary in Tiburon which became the primary bird cleaning center. Oiled birds were gathered from the shores from Bolinas to Richardson Bay and brought to Audubon's classroom for cleaning. Volunteer Veterinarians were on hand. Donated materials were stored in two Army Reserve 16X32 foot tents on the lawn area (one was used for volunteers sleeping as the operation was 24 hours a day. The Lyford house became the office to coordinate the rescue efforts. A group of Berkeley students set up the intermediate term rehabilitation efforts in the UC's Richmond book storage warehouses. The group of Berkeley students and Vets ultimately became the International Bord "Rescue" organization, now controlled by Chevron.
Few photographs remain in public hands from the Audubon Richardson Bay bird rescue efforts as Chevron send a representative from the Richmond Refiners. After the effort settled, we found that the main purpose of the Chevron representative was not to help, but to buy up all photogrephers pictures. Several did survive inclusing two phoros of the Classroom at Richardson Bay when the bird cleaning was going on. The photos appear in the Redwood High School Yearbook from that year. I lived in the Lyford House at the time of the oil spill as my father was the National Audubon Sanctuary Manager, and I have my Redwood High yearbook.
The volunteer efforts were astounding and overwhelming (and gratifying). I will never forget those weeks. I wrote "Oil Spill" on my absence excuse for school and was not even questioned.
I still have the veterinarians draft publication of the bird cleaning techniques based on his experience in the Santa Barbara Oil Spill of 1968 and the Chevron spill in San Francisco Bay, 1971.
Oh, the spill was the result of two chevron tankers colliding under the Golden Gate Bridge at night. one tanker had it's radar turned off. Chevron supplied the mineral oil we used to clean the Bunker C Oil from the surviving birds feathers. Chevron representatives admitted that they would not have helped us except that both tankers were Chevron, so they could not avoid blame.

A CLOCK that found itself at the centre of noise complaints will find itself silenced at night.
The story attracted national attention as the clock has been in its place for 119 years.
Now work will be done to make sure it will not chime at night after it was deemed it could not be halted from chiming completely.
Ian Shepherd, chairman of Millgate Arts Centre on Stoneswood Road, revealed: "Oldham Council have a duty to investigate noise complaints. If the noise constitutes a 'statutory nuisance ' they have a duty to take enforcement measures. Delph Bell does meet the legal definition to be considered as a statutory nuisance.
"The council own the clock and building but obviously wouldn't serve any enforcement notice on themselves, so a compromise needed to be found. Currently the clock has no facility to silence the bell at specific times.
"Anticipating what environmental health officers would say, I had previously approached another department within the council, requesting funding to carry out some recommended maintenance and to fit a night time silencer. The council agreed immediately to this request and a purchase order was raised within 24 hours, so I was able to instruct the contractor to proceed.
"The work is due to be completed this week and they are taking advantage of scaffolding currently in place for roof repairs. Had the scaffolding not been there it would have added to the cost. After Friday, the bell will ring until 22:00, but remain silent overnight until 08:00 when it will chime again. The bell will remain silent at all times until the silencer is fitted on Friday."
Mr Shepherd added that Oldham Council had been supportive of the community, many of whom reacted with bemusement to the news of the complaint.
However, all parties have decided the night-time silencer is the best course of action.
He continued: "The council were very sympathetic to views of the community but are limited on the courses of action open to them.
"I feel that this is the best option available and welcome the substantial funding they agreed to put up to achieve this compromise. Had funding not been forthcoming, the bell would have remained silent at all times.
"So far from criticising Oldham Council, they should be thanked for their prompt response to my request and the way they have handled the situation."
Mr Shepherd also said he will not take issue over the fact someone complained, as they have a right to do so.
He said: "This is the first and only complaint received by Oldham Council about any clock in the borough. The complainant is entitled to his opinion and I would urge everyone to respect his privacy."

Posted by Katie Schlechter – MA Candidate at CLACS / Global Journalism at NYU
To get to the La 72 migrant shelter in Tenosique, Mexico, I had to fly to Villahermosa, and then take a bus across the state, passing through the northern tip of Chiapas near along the way. Upon arrival in Tabasco, I learned that many buses weren't taking this route due to highway blockades in the Chiapas portion of the highway.
The blockades are part of the unrest that has rocked southern Mexico since I arrived at the beginning of June. The largest teacher's union in the region, the CNTE, has been taking to the streets to protest education reform measures recently taken up by the government. The discussion here is similar to education reform debates in the United States: one side says that many teachers are not effective and should therefore be evaluated based on the performance of their students on standardized tests and the other side criticizes the state for cutting funding to education and sees the reforms as a way to shift the blame of a struggling education system from the state's lack of resource allocation to the professional shortcomings of the teachers.

the most outstanding application of information technology to the law
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 1, 2007
BigHand, the Microsoft Gold Partner specializing in voice productivity, yesterday released a new 'Mobility Suite' at its Annual User Conference 07. The new BigHand3 Mobility Suite provides clients with a bundle of four instant mobility tools that enable networked digital dictation while out of the office: BlackBerry dictation, EmailGateway, Telephony dictation, and Web client.
The BigHand Mobility Suite allows lawyers to immediately connect to their dictation workflow software in the office regardless of where they may be, or the connection type available. Document turnaround times are significantly enhanced through this added flexibility. Furthermore the suite potentially removes the need for every user to carry specialist dictation hardware, and provides an additional cost benefit for the firm. The Mobility Suite contains:
BlackBerry dictation -- allows users using BlackBerry operating system 4.2 (or 4.2.1 on the 8700) to record, edit and playback digital dictations on their BlackBerry smartphone and immediately upload them wirelessly into their BigHand3 Server for flexible workflow routing and office-based completion or transcription. Both BlackBerry Enterprise Server and BlackBerry Internet Service architectures are supported
EmailGateway -- enables automated submission of audio recordings as email attachments into the digital dictation system from email systems such as Hotmail or Gmail. The user just requires a computer that has an internet connection, with no need for any BigHand client software. EmailGateway can also be used with Windows Mobile
Telephony dictation -- each lawyer has a personal number and login that allows them to call in dictations via a fixed line or their mobile/cell phone. These voice recordings are automatically routed to the correct assistant and tracked/managed within the workflow management system
Web client -- users can upload voice recordings into the office workflow and review work-in- progress via a normal internet browser or via Windows Mobile.
Director of IT at Lewis Silkin, Jan Durant, commented: "We have implemented the BigHand BlackBerry client with a group of our lawyers and found that the productivity enhancement from the instant delivery of dictations back into the office workflow is a major benefit. As we were one of the earliest firms to install the software the input of our lawyers has gone directly back into its ongoing development -- for example, we have helped suggest and refine some advanced features that will help users who produce a large amount of dictation. That way the transition away from a professional recording device is easier, and convergence to a BlackBerry becomes more of an option for the firm as a whole. We were delighted to work so closely with BigHand on what seems to be a 'first' for the digital dictation market."
Victoria Cumming, IT Manager at Bentleys Stokes & Lowless, added: "We were one of BigHand's very first digital dictation users back in 2001, and given the benefit that their software has provided the firm over that period we were more than happy to also be an early mover onto BlackBerry Dictation. Our lawyers have found being able to dictate on a BlackBerry extremely valuable, enabling a much faster turnaround on work recorded when out of the office, and the firm is set to realize savings when we no longer have to supply each person with two devices for remote working."
Steve Butterworth, CEO & President of BigHand, Inc describes: "Mobility is an area we are seeing law firms increasingly focus on, with our voice tools enabling greater connectivity and expediting document production while on the move. Turning your BlackBerry into a dictation device will also save law firm budgets as lawyers will not need to carry two devices for out of the office dictation. But most importantly, due to the immediate transfer of voice back to the office, legal documents are being provided to clients quicker than ever. Together with the other mobility tools in the BigHand suite, such as EmailGateway, our clients are set for a new level of 'on-the-go' productivity."

- the Study Townsville Regional Brand Activation project – to promote the Study Queensland brand through a range of region-specific marketing materials.
The funds will be used to undertake agent familiarisations, social-media marketing activity, and targeted in-market sales missions.
Townsville received the largest allocation of any region in the latest round of grants from the partnership fund.
The grants have been matched with $158,000 from Townsville City Council and stakeholders.
Townsville Deputy Mayor Les Walker said Townsville was an ideal study location offering world-class education and an attractive tropical lifestyle to international students.
'Townsville City Council is investing towards bringing up to 1,000 more international students to study in our city – which helps boost our economy and create jobs for locals,' Cr Walker said.
'Townsville is home to a range of world-class education institutions to provide quality study opportunities for international students.
'Our tropical city provides students with an attractive lifestyle and great study options that you can't get anywhere else.'International education and training supports more than 21,000 jobs across Queensland, with more than 120,000 students enrolled each year.
The latest round of partnership fund recipients was announced in November 2018, with 20 projects receiving more than $600,000 in grants, and local consortia contributing close to the same amount.
International education and training is identified as Queensland second-most valuable services export in the Queensland Trade and Investment Strategy 2017–2022.
The partnership fund is an initiative of the International Education and Training Strategy to Advance Queensland 2016–2026.

WooHoo! That pretty much sums it for Avs fans.
Lets start with the news we all learned just a few minutes ago.
Ryan Smyth signs with the Colorado Avalanche!
Source: http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=212495&hubname=
The No Movement Clause scares me a little bit, but Smyth fills in the left wing sport on what will now become the Smyth-Stastny-Hejduk line. Props to Francois Gigure for getting him at a borderline price, but seemingly putting the Avs back into the elite club in the Western Conference.
Scott Hannan Joins the Avs!
Source: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/feature/?fid=4965
Another great move on an exciting first day of free agency. The Avs get their defensive defenseman and we took him away from the Sharks, who literally "took a bite" out of our Playoff chances last year.
So where does this put the Avs?
First of all, we addressed our main concern of getting a reliable defensive guy. Hannan has been solid over the past few years for the Sharks and will come into Colorado as a top line defeseman most likely.
Smyth is a huge move that not only gives us a man in front of the net, but another leader who will help promote the hard work our team put in last season. He was easily a Top 3 or 4 free agent and we got him. Ryan Smyth is now an Av. Celebrate.
This elevates us from a Playoff team to a Stanley Cup team. Think I'm going overboard? I'm not. Look at the Avalanche core:
Sakic, Hejduk, Brunette, Stastny, Smyth, Wolski, Liles, Hannan, Leopold, Arnason, Lappy, Budaj, etc.
That's a dangerously impressive group.
I was thinking back to 2004 when we got both Selanne and Kariya and was thinking about whether or not this could be a repeat of that season. But don't fret. If all goes according to plan, the Avs will be bring home their third Cup next June. Enjoy it.
3 months to go...

Bachelor of Architecture, 4th Year
Ashley Persad
Hometown: Tampa, FL
Why did you pick your major and what do you want to do with your degree?
I wanted to do architecture from a little girl – it has always been a passion of mine. Growing up working with my dad on his construction sites inspired me to want to design and create beautiful things and I enjoyed the challenge of putting things together. With this degree, I would like to truly make a difference in creating better spaces and buildings for the future generations as well as help promote female architects in the industry.
What makes NewSchool special?
NewSchool being such a small school creates a family-like environment getting to know your classmates while creating long lasting bonds.
What was your favorite class at NewSchool and why?
My favorite class at NewSchool was actually not on NewSchool campus but offered by NewSchool. It was a study abroad Studio in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. It was the best experience ever! The three week program abroad gave me knowledge and experience in a variety of ways – learning a different culture, experiencing old architectural techniques, and developing solutions for a project that directly affected the community gave valuable lessons that were learned through this opportunity.
What was your favorite project?
One – My personal favorite project was a Climate Action Competition that was initiated by Joe Kennedy at Newschool. It was a very challenging project in which core lessons were learned by developing new ideas and team collaboration through what we have learned in school as well as reaching out to other resources to create better solutions for the future in which my group's project won 3rd place. Two – 4th year studio, the two quarter long project of developing a city block of a proposed National City Downtown while challenging, has been very beneficial in learning real life project, situations, restrictions, collaborations, and process of a new development of building and city planning.
What is your favorite memory at NewSchool?
Favorite memory is joining the fraternity, Alpha Rho Chi. It has been a great experience being a part of a family of brothers that you will have in school as well as after you graduate.
Where is your favorite spot on campus and why?
My studio desk would be my favorite spot. In working on getting my architecture degree a lot of hours are spent designing, so most of my friends and classmates are there always working on either studio or other assignments so its the most convenient spot for us to talk, hang out, eat, etc. while we get work done.
What do you plan to do after graduation?
After graduation, I would like to continue on the path to acquiring my license as an architect, so I will be working and collecting my internship hours as well as studying to take the exams.
What would people be surprised to know about you?
I am originally from a small island in the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago, and I served six and a half years in the United States Navy.
What advice do you have for incoming students?
This is the first step in creating a better future for yourself and it won't be easy getting your degree so work hard for your passion, be confident in the work you do, believe in yourself, and don't give up, it will all pay off in the end, and remember that small accomplishments still count as a victory!

Drush is a command line shell and Unix scripting interface for Drupal. If you are unfamiliar with shell scripting, reviewing the documentation for your shell (e.g. man bash) or reading an online tutorial (e.g. search for "bash tutorial") will help you get the most out of Drush.
Drush core ships with lots of useful commands for interacting with code like modules/themes/profiles. Similarly, it runs update.php, executes sql queries and DB migrations, and misc utilities like run cron or clear cache.
Each version of Drush supports multiple Drupal versions. Drush 6 is recommended version.
|Drush Version
|Compatible Drupal versions
|Code Status
|Drush 7
|Drush 6
|Drush 5
|Drush 4
|Drush 3
Drush comes with a full test suite powered by PHPUnit. Each commit gets tested by the awesome Travis.ci continuous integration service.
Drush can be run in your shell by typing "drush" from within any Drupal root directory.
$ drush [options] <command> [argument1] [argument2]
Use the 'help' command to get a list of available options and commands:
$ drush help
For even more documentation, use the 'topic' command:
$ drush topic

- If you are using Debian or Ubuntu, you can alternatively use the Debian packages uploaded in your distribution. You may need to use the backports to get the latest version, if you are running a LTS or "stable" release.
- For advice on using Drush with your ISP, see the hosting section of the Resources page on drush.org.
- Drush commands that work with git require git 1.7 or greater.
- Drush works best on a Unix-like OS (Linux, OS X)
- Most Drush commands run on Windows. See INSTALLING DRUSH ON WINDOWS, below.
Composer is the preferred way to install Drush, but if you have any issues with using Compser, consider trying MANUAL INSTALLATION. It is not too hard.
Add Composer's global bin directory to the system PATH (recommended):
sed -i '1i export PATH="$HOME/.composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"' $HOME/.bashrc source $HOME/.bashrc
To install Drush
Version 6.x (stable):
composer global require drush/drush:6.*
Version 7.x (dev) which is required for Drupal 8:
composer global require drush/drush:dev-master
To update to a newer version (what you get depends on your specification in ~/.composer/composer.json):
composer global update
Alternate commands to install some other variant of Drush:
# Install a specific version of Drush, e.g. Drush 6.1.0 composer global require drush/drush:6.1.0 # Master branch as a git clone. Great for contributing back to Drush project. composer global require drush/drush:dev-master --prefer-source
To install for all users on the server:
curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer ln -s /usr/local/bin/composer /usr/bin/composer git clone https://github.com/drush-ops/drush.git /usr/local/src/drush cd /usr/local/src/drush git checkout 7.0.0-alpha5 #or whatever version you want. ln -s /usr/local/src/drush/drush /usr/bin/drush composer install drush --version
See the POST-INSTALL section for configuration tips.
Place the uncompressed drush.tar.gz, drush.zip, or cloned git repository in a directory that is outside of your web root.
Make the 'drush' command executable:
$ chmod u+x /path/to/drush/drush
Configure your system to recognize where Drush resides. There are 3 options:
Create a symbolic link to the Drush executable in a directory that is already in your PATH, e.g.:
$ ln -s /path/to/drush/drush /usr/bin/drush
Explicitly add the Drush executable to the PATH variable which is defined in the the shell configuration file called .profile, .bash_profile, .bash_aliases, or .bashrc that is located in your home folder, i.e.:
`export PATH="$PATH:/path/to/drush:/usr/local/bin"`
Your system will search path options from left to right until it finds a result.
- Add an alias for drush (this method can also be handy if you want to use 2 versions of Drush, for example Drush 5 or 6 (stable) for Drupal 7 development, and Drush 7 (master) for Drupal 8 development).
To add an alias to your Drush 7 executable, add this to you shell configuration file (see list in previous option):
$ alias drush-master=/path/to/drush/drush
For options 2 and 3 above, in order to apply your changes to your current session, either log out and then log back in again, or re-load your bash configuration file, i.e.:
$ source .bashrc
NOTE: If you do not follow this step, you will need to inconveniently run Drush commands using the full path to the executable "/path/to/drush/drush" or by navigating to /path/to/drush and running "./drush". The -r or -l options will be required (see USAGE, below).
Test that Drush is found by your system:
$ which drush
See the POST-INSTALL section for configuration tips.
See example.bashrc for instructions on how to add some useful shell aliases that provides even tighter integration between drush and bash. You may source this file directly into your shell by adding to your .bashrc (or equivalent): source /path/to/drush/examples/example.bashrc
If you didn't source it the step above, see top of drush.complete.sh file for instructions adding bash completion for drush command to your shell. Once configured, completion works for site aliases, command names, shell aliases, global options, and command-specific options.
Optional. If drush.complete.sh is being sourced (ideally in bash_completion.d), you can use the supplied __drush_ps1() sh function to add your current drush site (set with
drush use @sitename) to your PS1 prompt like so:
if [ "\$(type -t __git_ps1)" ] && [ "\$(type -t __drush_ps1)" ]; then PS1='\u@\h \w$(__git_ps1 " (%s)")$(__drush_ps1 "[%s]")\$ ' fi
Putting this in a .bashrc/.bash_profile/.profile would produce this prompt:
msonnabaum@hostname ~/repos/drush (master)[@sitename]$
Help the Drush development team by sending anonymized usage statistics. To automatically send usage data, please add the following to a .drushrc.php file:
```php $options['drush_usage_log'] = TRUE; $options['drush_usage_send'] = TRUE; ```
Stats are usually logged locally and sent whenever log file exceeds 50Kb. Alternatively, one may disable automatic sending and instead use
usage-sendcommands to more carefully send data.
Users of MAMP will need to manually specify in their PATH which version of php and MySQL to use in the command line interface. This is independent of the php version selected in the MAMP application settings. Under OS X, edit (or create if it does not already exist) a file called .bash_profile in your home folder.
To use php 5.3.x, add this line to .bash_profile:
export PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin:$PATH"
If you want to use php 5.4.x, add this line instead:
export PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.4/bin:$PATH"
If you have MAMP v.1.84 or lower, this configuration will work for both version of PHP:
export PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5/bin:$PATH"
If you have done this and are still getting a "no such file or directory" error from PDO::__construct, try this:
sudo mkdir /var/mysql sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock /var/mysql/mysql.sock
Additionally, you may need to adjust your php.ini settings before you can use drush successfully. See CONFIGURING PHP.INI below for more details on how to proceed.
Users of other Apache distributions such as XAMPP, or Acquia's Dev Desktop will want to ensure that its php can be found by the command line by adding it to the PATH variable, using the method in 3.b above. Depending on the version and distribution of your AMP stack, PHP might reside at:
|Acquia Dev Desktop (Mac)
|XAMP (Mac)
|XAMPP (Windows)
Additionally, you may need to adjust your php.ini settings before you can use drush successfully. See CONFIGURING PHP.INI below for more details on how to proceed.
If you want to run Drush with a specific version of php, rather than the php defined by your shell, you can add an environment variable to your the shell configuration file called .profile, .bash_profile, .bash_aliases, or .bashrc that is located in your home folder:
export DRUSH_PHP='/path/to/php'
Usually, php is configured to use separate php.ini files for the web server and the command line. Make sure that Drush's php.ini is given as much memory to work with as the web server is; otherwise, Drupal might run out of memory when Drush bootstraps it.
To see which php.ini file Drush is using, run:
$ drush status
To see which php.ini file the webserver is using, use the phpinfo() function in a .php web page. See http://drupal.org/node/207036.
If Drush is using the same php.ini file as the web server, you can create a php.ini file exclusively for Drush by copying your web server's php.ini file to the folder $HOME/.drush or the folder /etc/drush. Then you may edit this file and change the settings described above without affecting the php enviornment of your web server.
Alternately, if you only want to override a few values, copy example.drush.ini from the /examples folder into $HOME/.drush or the folder /etc/drush and edit to suit. See comments in example.drush.ini for more details.
You may also use environment variables to control the php settings that Drush will use. There are three options:
export PHP_INI='/path/to/php.ini' export DRUSH_INI='/path/to/drush.ini' export PHP_OPTIONS='-d memory_limit="128M"'
In the case of PHP_INI and DRUSH_INI, these environment variables specify the full path to a php.ini or drush.ini file, should you wish to use one that is not in one of the standard locations described above. The PHP_OPTIONS environment variable can be used to specify individual options that should be passed to php on the command line when Drush is executed.
Drush requires a fairly unrestricted php environment to run in. In particular, you should insure that safe_mode, open_basedir, disable_functions and disable_classes are empty. If you are using php 5.3.x, you may also need to add the following definitions to your php.ini file:
magic_quotes_gpc = Off magic_quotes_runtime = Off magic_quotes_sybase = Off
If you are running on Linux, you may find that you need the php5-json package. On Ubuntu, you can install it via:
apt-get install php5-json
Windows support has improved, but is still lagging. For full functionality, consider using on Linux/Unix/OSX using Virtualbox or other virtual machine.
There is a Windows msi installer for drush available at http://www.drush.org/drush_windows_installer.
Please see that page for more information on running Drush on Windows.
Whenever the documentation or the help text refers to 'drush [option] ' or something similar, 'drush' may need to be replaced by 'drush.bat'.
Additional Drush Windows installation documentation can be found at http://drupal.org/node/594744.
Most Drush commands will run in a Windows CMD shell or PowerShell, but the Git Bash shell provided by the 'Git for Windows' installation is the preferred shell in which to run Drush commands. For more information on "Git for Windows' visit http://msysgit.github.com/.
When creating aliases for Windows remote machines, pay particular attention to information presented in the example.aliases.drushrc.php file, especially when setting values for 'remote-host' and 'os', as these are very important when running Drush rsync and Drush sql-sync commands.
For multisite installations, use the -l option to target a particular site. If you are outside the Drupal web root, you might need to use the -r, -l or other command line options just for Drush to work. If you do not specify a URI with -l and Drush falls back to the default site configuration, Drupal's $GLOBALS['base_url'] will be set to http://default. This may cause some functionality to not work as expected.
$ drush -l http://example.com pm-update
If you wish to be able to select your Drupal site implicitly from the current working directory without using the -l option, but you need your base_url to be set correctly, you may force it by setting the uri in a drushrc.php file located in the same directory as your settings.php file.
$options['uri'] = "http://example.com";
Related Options:
-r <path>, --root=<path> Drupal root directory to use
(defaults to current directory or anywhere in a
Drupal directory tree)
-l <uri> , --uri=<uri> URI of the Drupal site to use
-v, --verbose Display verbose output.
Very intensive scripts can exhaust your available PHP memory. One remedy is to just restart automatically using bash. For example:
while true; do drush search-index; sleep 5; done
Inside the examples directory you will find some example files to help you get started with your Drush configuration file (example.drushrc.php), site alias definitions (example.aliases.drushrc.php) and Drush commands (sandwich.drush.inc). You will also see an example 'policy' file which can be customized to block certain commands or arguments as required by your organization's needs.
If you get tired of typing options all the time you can contain them in a drushrc.php file. Multiple Drush configuration files can provide the flexibility of providing specific options in different site directories of a multi-site installation. See example.drushrc.php for examples and installation details.
Drush lets you run commands on a remote server, or even on a set of remote servers. Once defined, aliases can be references with the @ nomenclature, i.e.
# Synchronize staging files to production $ drush rsync @staging:%files/ @live:%files # Syncronize database from production to dev, excluding the cache table $ drush sql-sync --structure-tables-key=custom --no-cache @live @dev
See http://drupal.org/node/670460 and example.aliases.drushrc.php for more information.
Drush can be extended to run your own commands. Writing a Drush command is no harder than writing simple Drupal modules, since they both follow the same structure.
See sandwich.drush.inc for a quick tutorial on Drush command files. Otherwise, the core commands in Drush are good models for your own commands.
You can put your Drush command file in a number of places:
- In a folder specified with the --include option (see
drush topic docs-configuration).
- Along with one of your enabled modules. If your command is related to an existing module, this is the preferred approach.
- In a .drush folder in your HOME folder. Note, that you have to create the .drush folder yourself.
- In the system-wide Drush commands folder, e.g. /usr/share/drush/commands.
- In Drupal's /drush or sites/all/drush folders. Note, that you have to create the drush folder yourself.
In any case, it is important that you end the filename with ".drush.inc", so that Drush can find it.
Q: What does "drush" stand for?
A: The Drupal Shell.
Q: How do I pronounce Drush?
A: Some people pronounce the dru with a long u like Drupal. Fidelity points
go to them, but they are in the minority. Most pronounce Drush so that it
rhymes with hush, rush, flush, etc. This is the preferred pronunciation.
Q: Does Drush have unit tests?
A: Drush has an excellent suite of unit tests. See the README.md file in the /tests subdirectory for
more information.
- Originally developed by Arto Bendiken for Drupal 4.7.
- Redesigned by Franz Heinzmann in May 2007 for Drupal 5.

So, what had happened was… I was getting rid of a glass table top from my dining room a couple weeks ago.
I dragged it from my garage and propped it up against my fence, then called the city to come get it along with the base. The city quickly told me they would pick everything up –except the glass. Well, that glass is thick and literally so heavy it takes at least two people to lift it.
I left it there until I could figure out how to transport it. Before long, it shone bright like candy to the children who passed by. They couldn't resist its whispering temptation. They fell prey, and taking a humongous brick/rock thing, they smashed it against the thick glass until it broke.
The shards splintered in interesting shapes and positions upon the ground. I saw it, and shaking my head in exasperation, tried to ignore it for the next several days. Finally, when I was behind the house again, I thought, "Ok, that's really dangerous. I need to get that up." I began immediately, careful to move slowly and meticulously. I put the shards in a bag, and now somehow emboldened, returned to continue picking up the rest. I shifted my sandal clad foot (yes, who knows what I was thinking) and felt a sharp something slide across the top of my foot. I looked down to see the foot opened before me, its tender white meat peeking out behind a perfectly cut slit.
"Oh no!" I shuffled into the house to wash it and think of what to do next.
Just then someone rang my doorbell. "Now what?!" I complained. It was my sweet friend Gloria who works at a non-profit nearby and habitually takes walks in the neighborhood. "I'm so glad to see you!" Soon I was on my way to urgent care, except her boss was driving me in my car while she watched over activities back at the office.
Six stitches later, my roommate was transporting me back home, and fetching my crutches. I was on them for 3 days, then able to limp, then walk, and then limp again, as now my foot appeared inflamed or infected or both. I had to bathe with my foot hanging out of the tub, taking me back to the days of foot surgery. I even snuck and drove with my left foot a couple times to give the right foot a rest… but it didn't go especially well, so I gave that up before I had more problems.
After my third visit to urgent care, I was able to finally get those bright blue stitches out by an NP who just happened to listen to me daily on Moody Radio, and who joked with me the whole time I was squealing from pain and fear. Today I am walking again, prayerful that my foot will continue to heal. Thank you, Lord, for my feet. This could have been a lot worse.
In the words of James Brown (may he rest in peace)
Uh! I wanna get on the good foot!
Ho! good foot, I got to get on the good foot, ahhhhhh!!
Also I need a pedicure really badly–but can't get one yet. The end.:)

text: A little less than a month ago, scientists announced that water vapor had been spotted in the atmosphere of K2-18b, an exoplanet 110 light-years away. Crucially, the planet was in its star's "habitable zone" (the region around a star that's temperate enough for liquid surface water, sometimes referred to as the "Goldilocks zone"). But the use of that phrase is pretty controversial. Though humans certainly couldn't live on K2-18b, there is little agreement among experts about whether some form of extreme microbial life could be found there. It might have been in the "habitable zone," but no one could agree whether K2-18b was truly "habitable" or not.

Apparently living in the sticks is more challenging that I originally realized. Apparently it takes an act of Congress to set up internet, and the interstate is constantly under construction. But let me tell you, it is absolutely worth it. The evenings are incredibly quiet and peaceful, mornings on the front porch are serene, and the view rivals that of the north Georgia farms.
Crewcuts blouse (similar here), Target shorts & wedges, H&M necklace, Etsy clutch, vintage bracelets
In other news, I have no clue when exactly I wore this outfit, but it was most definitely a weekend. As lenient as my work wardrobe may be, I think hot pink shorts are pushing the line a bit. Nonetheless, I love them. Neon pink is the new neutral, don't you think?

MIDDLETOWN >> Middletown High's football team is getting better.
That was the assessment of Blue Dragons coach Sal Morello following his team's fourth straight win, a 47-8 blowout over Bristol Central in front of a Homecoming Night crowd of 1,500 at Rosek-Skubel Stadium Friday night.
"Week to week, we're getting better," Morello said. "The kids are locked in, in practice and they are doing things better than they were doing a month ago."
Dario Highsmith, clearly getting back to form after an injury-plagued summer, led the way with 209 yards rushing on 24 carries good for three touchdowns. He also threw for two more TDs on a 4-for-6, 95-yard performance.
But it was his judgment that Morello liked.
"Those first two touchdowns were important," he said. "Those were both great reads by a four-year quarterback. And the offensive line executed perfectly."
The plays of which Morello spoke came in the first quarter and set the tone. On Middletown's first play from scrimmage, Highsmith ran for a 48-yard score. With 1:06 left in the first, Highsmith found Kejoun West alone down the left sideline and hit him in stride for a 67-yard touchdown that gave the Blue Dragons a 13-0 lead after one.
"We talked about the big play all week in practice," Bristol Central coach Jeff Papazian said. "But it's hard to replicate that speed and size in practice. Middletown's one of the top teams in the state."
The Blue Dragons scored twice more in the second quarter. Highsmith capped a six-play, 66-yard drive with a 15-yard touchdown pass to Shawn Houle with 9:14 left.
That was followed by a five-play, 46-yard drive that was set up by an interception by Houle at the 15-yard line which he returned to the Central 46. Highsmith carried the ball on all five plays, scoring from the 11-yard line with 54 seconds left in the half as MHS took a 27-0 lead at intermission.
Middletown held the Rams to 103 yards in the half – 41 on the ground – while piling up 272 itself.
The score ballooned to 33-0 in the third on a touchdown that was set up by yet another interception – MHS had three – this one by Jordan West. He picked off a Noah Cruz (7-for-20, three interceptions, 62 yards) pass at the Central 27 and returned it to the 13-yard line. Hunter Belzo picked up 11 of those required yards on two carries before Highsmith scored from the 2-yard line.
Central then marched 65 yards on six plays with D'Andre Conaway doing all the work, scoring on a 1-yard run. With Conaway's two-point conversion, the lead was cut to 33-8.
"We came out flat," Papazian said. "That slow start hurt us. But in the third quarter we came out much better and I thought Conaway played very well."
Conaway finished with 124 yards on 14 carries after being held to just 15 yards in the first half.
But that was as close as Central (3-2) would get.
Middletown (5-1) got a 9-yard TD run from Houle with 7:23 left to play and Tywan Scarborough scored on a 21-yard run with 2:44 left in the game. Freshman kicker Mike Aresco converted on five of seven PATs. One was blocked and one hit the post.
"I thought we played well," Morello said. "We have to do a better job of coming out for the third quarter. We still are looking for a full 48-minute game. But I thought our defense did a nice job overall and Isaiah Thompkins was just outstanding at linebacker. He had a little calf issue during the week, so we didn't run him [one carry, 29 yards] much. Since we have some depth at running back, we used a lot of guys."
The guys not named Highsmith combined for 113 yards as Middletown had eight players carry the ball for 322 yards on 41 carries. Add 101 passing yards and the Dragons had 432 yards of offense.
Central finished with 261 yards offense, including 199 on the ground. most of that in the second half.
Middletown is home again Friday night hosting Maloney (4-2) at 7 p.m.

David and Victoria Beckham are reportedly thinking about moving from their home in Los Angeles to New York, so that Victoria can focus on her fashion line.
They currently live on the west coast of the US as David plays football for LA Galaxy – that's the reason that moving back to London is reportedly out of the question.
An unnamed source apparently told Grazia that David could still play for Galaxy if they move to New York City:
Latest Stories
"Everything is up for discussion at the moment. David may well choose to stay at his team LA Galaxy, or he may leave and retire from football. There are big conversations to be had.
"Victoria is keen to move to New York to set up her business there and open her first store. She looked at a school while she was there. There are also business opportunities for David, too."
While we'd LOVE to see them back in the UK, New York is much closer than LA.
Come back, Beckhams! BS

|Renewable Energy Sources and Future Electricity Grids
EU-funded research on distributed generation
A key strategic objective of the EU in the energy domain is to significantly increase the share of electricity generated from renewable energy sources and other clean technologies. The vision of a secure and sustainable energy supply has major implications for our electricity grids. To meet this future challenge, the EU is funding research on the integration of renewable energy sources and distributed generation into the electricity grids. The IRED research cluster, which continues over four years and represents several projects with a budget of 34 million Euro, aims to co-ordinate knowledge among 100 partner organisations from industry, utilities and research organisations.
For an exchange of views on the political, technical and regulatory framework that is needed in order to prepare the infrastructure for renewable energies and distributed generation whilst maintaining a high level of security of supply, a parliamentary evening took place on the eve of the First International Conference on the Integration of renewable Energy Sources and Distributed Energy Resources. IRED was pleased to had John Scott, technical director of the British regulator OFGEM, presented how the challengers are already being faced in the UK.

I find it maddening when debugging XSLT when the processor is paused on an instruction, and I cannot examine variables which "should" have been processed before that instruction.
I realise that the processor (I am using saxon 8b) executes variable descriptions in a lazy fashion, but when trying to debug that behaviour isn't very helpful.
I have found that I can get around the lazy execution issue by putting a variable statement at the end of each template that makes a sequence out of all the other variables I have used, ie select="$this, $that, $theOther". Even though this workaround variable is the last statement in the template/function, and so is unused, just having it there seems to be enough to force saxon to evaluate its select statement and hence all of the other variables.
This is obviously a pretty poor workaround, particularly when you have a large number of templates/functions, and it would be lovely if oxygen were to implictly put in my dummy select statement to force the variables the be executed so that I can examine them.

Lib Dem surge as Labour and Tories suffer in local elections
PUBLISHED: 08:30 03 May 2019 | UPDATED: 08:30 03 May 2019
Voters have vented their anger at the two main parties over the continuing Brexit deadlock as both the Tories and Labour suffered losses in the English council elections, and have turned to anti-Brexit party the Liberal Democrats.
Become a Supporter
Almost four years after its creation The New European goes from strength to strength across print and online, offering a pro-European perspective on Brexit and reporting on the political response to the coronavirus outbreak, climate change and international politics. But we can only continue to grow with your support.
The Conservatives had been braced for a tough night amid frustration at Theresa May's failure to take Britain out of the EU on March 29th.
However Labour also struggled, losing seats at a point in the electoral cycle when they could expect to be making significant gains at the expense of the government.
By contrast the Lib Dems were enjoying a good night, with some predictions that they could pick up as many as 500 seats.
With results in from 96 of the 248 councils where elections are being held, the Conservatives had lost 257 seats and Labour 45 while the Lib Dems had gained 183 and the Greens 26.
There were 62 more independent councillors while UKIP lost five.
The Conservatives lost Peterborough, Basildon, Southend, Worcester, St Albans, Welwyn Hatfield, Folkestone and Hythe, and Tandridge to no overall control while Winchester, Cotswold and Bath and North East Somerset and Hinckley and Bosworth fell to the Liberal Democrats with North Kesteven going to independents.
However the party held on in the bellwether council of Swindon, seen as a possible Labour gain, and took Walsall and North East Lincolnshire from no overall control.
Education minister Nadhim Zahawi said the losses reflected the anger among voters over Brexit and called on MPs to rally behind Theresa May's deal.
"Because we haven't been able to deliver Brexit on March 29 we are seeing these results," he told the BBC.
"The prime minister has stretched every sinew, she has tried everything. We can keep blaming the Prime Minister, ultimately it is in the hands of us parliamentarians."
However the senior Tory Brexiteer MP Sir Bernard Jenkin said voters overwhelmingly believed that she had "lost the plot" and that the time had come for a change of leader.
"They can see that she has lost the plot. They can see she is not in control of events," he said.
You may also want to watch:
"Certainly among Conservative activists and council candidates there is an almost universal feeling that it is time for her to move on."
His comments were echoed by former cabinet minister Priti Patel who said voters saw May as "part of the problem".
"I just don't think we can continue like this. We need change, we need a change of leadership. Perhaps the time has now come for that," she told the BBC.
Labour meanwhile lost control in Bolsover, Hartlepool and Wirral and the mayoralty in Middlesbrough, where its vote was down 11% as independent Andy Preston was elected, although it did gain Trafford from no overall control.
Even where the party held on in its traditional stronghold of Sunderland, which voted heavily for Brexit in the 2016 referendum, it still lost 10 council seats.
Shadow international trade secretary Barry Gardiner said the party was hoping to at least regain the 200 seats it lost when these seats were last contested in 2015.
He acknowledged, however, that it had been a difficult to get across the party's position on Brexit, which is to back a second referendum in certain circumstances, on the doorstep.
"If a party is seen to be speaking with two voices, it is very difficult to connect when the policy of the party is a complex policy," he told the BBC.
Polling expert Professor Sir John Curtice of Strathclyde University said the voters appeared to be punishing whichever of the main two parties was in control in their area.
"The Labour Party is losing where they are strong historically, the Conservatives are losing where they are strong historically. It's a plague on all your houses," he said.
In contrast, the Liberal Democrats, who fought on a Remain platform, were in buoyant mood.
As well as picking up councils from the Tories, they took north Norfolk and north Devon from no overall control.
Deputy leader Jo Swinson said: "Out and about across the country, the mood has been positive. If we can get into the triple figures of gains that would be a really, really good night,.
"That would be part of that Lib Dem fightback that is happening."

Warm Weather Brings Out the Dogs
The weather has improved dramatically these past two weeks and leaves are popping out everywhere! A number of local dogs and their owners could be found enjoying the Columbia Heights Dog Park yesterday afternoon. Temperatures in the 70s into the foreseeable future have enticed people to take their furry friends out to play! The dog park was packed (no pun intended) for the entire afternoon.
There are formal and informal dog parks scattered across the city. Some of the larger parks are the Shaw Dog Park at 11th and R NW, The Dupont Circle Dog Park at 17th and S NW, Lincoln (dog) Park just East of the Capitol, and the Upshur Dog Park on the at the intersection of Arkansan and Webster Street NE, and the Bloomingdale Dog Park at Crispus Attucks Park NW. The trails of both Rock Creek Park and Glover Archibald Park are also popular locations to get your dog out into the wild and into a larger DC park.
If you don't own a dog and are interested in adopting, two agents from our office resucued their dog from a shelter via Petfinder.com. Another great resource for people who already own pets and animal lovers is pets.answers.com If you're looking for supplies for your current pet our favorite pet stores are Mr. Larry's Pet Supply on 11th Street NW in Columbia Heights and Metro Mutts on 8th Street SE on Capital Hill.

In Croydon, buildings open to see include Airport House, Bernard Weatherill House (Council offices), Addington church, the town hall and Clocktower complex, and Shirley Windmill.
If you fancy a trip up towards or into town, buildings open include: Kenwood House, the Foreign Office (which I can thoroughly recommend), Dr Johnson's House, the Guildhall, several of the City of London churches, Fulham Palace and the Royal Courts of Justice to name a few.
There are also various walks and tours, listed here: https://openhouselondon.open-city.org.u ... _and_tours . Most of these require pre-booking.

Re: Open House London weekend
Two spiral staircases top scored in last night's competition. During last year's Open House weekend I discovered a good one at Rudolf Steiner House (near Baker Street tube), although I wasn't pleased with my images so I would be intrigued to see if anyone cracks it.
Re: Open House London weekend
Funny that Steve. I have discovered this stair years ago and have some shots which have done well in various competitions including our club. Hope you captured something good too.

Another Flo Rida performance was cut short, this time at Lakewood Amphitheater in Chicago, IL, due to mechanical failures and overheating. After functioning without error for 35 minutes through his live, beat-driven dance and vocal performance, Flo Rida's powerful robotic appendages began flailing uncontrollably, and he accidentally tore a dancer in half over his head and fired several white-hot mechanical fingers into the crowd.
This is the fifth time this month Flo Rida has experienced critical malfunctions, and his handlers are becoming more concerned at the the increasingly obvious obsolescence of this once lively and well-functioning machine. Growing awareness of his bionic form seems to have impacted record and ticket sales, and the machines that have been keeping him alive inside his body appear to have overtaken him entirely.
Flo Rida insisted the problems were minimal and easily solved by what he referred to as "mechanical absorption," as he devoured a mailbox and soldered his own limbs. ♫

On a personal note, had I known this morning I was going to meet Paige Hemmis, I definitely wouldn't have complained about having to get out of bed so early!
