In the event the fan still appears to start sluggishly or demands a spin by hand to have it going, it's time to rebuild or replace the fan. So even in the event the condenser fan is NOT working, maybe it does not impact the AC while the vehicle is moving at highway speeds. The most usual rationale is the cooling fan for the condenser isn't working.
Most heating and air-conditioning service technicians won't call a contactor a relay. It is a normal by-product of cooling. Lastly remember that it will be given off of the unit when it is running.
As soon as an air conditioner is running it'll appear to be somewhat hot in some places. It is also a machine that needs to be look after and services. Although it re-circulates the same air, this is helpful in controlling allergens such as dust and pollen.
A refrigerator is definitely one of the most used parts of equipment in your property. At the exact same time, it's always wise to acquire your refrigerator serviced and checked by a professional technician on a yearly basis. Propane refrigerators are the most frequent ones that you'll find for RVs. Samsung refrigerators have been in the area for a number of decades now in the States. 12v refrigerators plug into a standard 12 volt power supply, which you'll discover in virtually every RV in addition to cars, trucks, boats and other kinds of vehicles.
When the unit is thought to be leak free, don't have the pressure checked unless there's an issue with the system again. If ordered from this page, as an example, the AC unit you chose should arrive at where you are in only a couple of days. In rather dirty places you might have to clean out the unit more frequently than that. If it is possible to pull the unit from the outside chassis, do that before attempting to clean it. Its condensing unit wears a particular coating named Weather Shield. You'll also learn a bit about how these RV cooling units differ from regular household units by following the hints in this post. In the interim, it is possible to get rid of the old RV AC unit and get ready for the new one.
If you are in need of a motor with open ventilation, you will need to choose a motor with the appropriate shaft orientation. Motors are rated for certain run capacitors, therefore it's crucial that you're employing a capacitor with a microfarad rating that fits with your motor. Utilize our on-line tools to help you locate the precise motor for your demands.
A Capacitor often has a polarity and has to be set up properly. A capacitor for a residential-sized unit ought to be relatively affordable, and you might look at purchasing a second one for backup when you are there, together with a few spare time-delay fuses (but be sure to get the ideal size fuse). It is not uncommon for the capacitor to go bad, especially in the event the RV sits unused for some time, and not have the ability to present that tiny push which gets the motors going. An awful capacitor isn't difficult to replace. It is a valid reason for replacing a capacitor. A bad starting capacitor could be the culprit however, you can usually tell if a terrible bearing is the reason for the fan to never spin freely.
Replacement is easy and straightforward. If you're unable to obtain a precise replacement, you may usually use a universal replacement. You may usually find a precise replacement with that number.

Keir Starmer condemns Labour MP for calling Israeli government 'fascist'

Suella Braverman plans for vulnerable child refugees to undergo X-rays
Home secretary Suella Braverman risks inflaming the migration row with plans to force vulnerable child refugees to undergo X-rays to verify their age.
The move comes after Rishi Sunak, the prime minister, told cabinet that he wanted Britain to be a "compassionate, welcoming country", distancing himself from the home secretary's controversial claim that the UK was being subjected to an "invasion" by asylum seekers.
As counterterrorist police took charge of the investigation into the firebombing of a separate immigration facility in Kent, it emerged that Ms Braverman's incendiary remark had not been cleared with No 10. And Mr Sunak's official spokesperson declined to say whether the PM regarded it as appropriate.
Immigration minister Robert Jenrick said Ms Braverman had been trying to express "the sheer scale of the challenge" but accepted it was necessary to "choose your words very carefully" and said he himself had not used the phrase.
Refugee charity Care4Calais told The Independent the X-ray proposals raised "serious safeguarding concerns".
The home secretary faced allegations from a senior Conservative MP that she misled parliament when she denied that dangerous overcrowding at a migrant processing centre was caused by her blocking the use of hotels to accommodate people arriving in the UK by small boat.
And another Tory MP said that Ms Braverman's focus on tough measures to deter Channel crossings would not work, and the Home Office should instead focus its efforts on clearing the massive backlog of legitimate asylum claims.
David Simmonds, who chairs parliament's all-party group on migration, told The Independent that the most effective way to undermine the activities of people-smuggling gangs would be to set up legal routes for displaced people to come to the UK to have their claims assessed.
Hundreds of people were being moved out of Manston on Tuesday in a bid to ease overcrowding which has seen some asylum seekers spend weeks in a temporary holding centre intended only for swift initial processing over a period of no more than 48 hours.
In a defiant Commons appearance on Monday, Ms Braverman denied claims that she ignored legal advice to procure more hotel accommodation to allow individuals and families to move on from the centre.
With the government spending £6.8m a day putting up migrants in hotels, she insisted she was right to order a review of the way the system was working.
But a source close to Ms Patel said the former home secretary had regularly authorised the use of hotels when capacity at Manston was stretched.
And Tory MP Sir Roger Gale – whose Thanet North constituency includes Manston – told The Independent: "I am absolutely certain that the home secretary put a moratorium on hotel accommodation. That is what has caused this logjam. It was essentially humane and well organised until five weeks ago, then she arrived and it hit the buffers.
"I am absolutely certain that the home secretary misled the House when she said she had not put a block on paying for additional accommodation. I am told there is documentation inside the Home Office which would prove that."
Sir Roger welcomed measures to ease overcrowding, but added: "Thousands more need to be moved out. She has been using it as a refugee camp, and I am trying to get it back to its proper purpose as a processing centre. There shouldn't be more than 1,200 people there and they shouldn't be there for more than 48 hours."
A Home Office source insisted that allegations the home secretary had misled parliament were "categorically untrue".
On Monday, Ms Braverman pledged that "robust" new checks will be introduced in the new year to settle disputes over the age of those arriving across the Channel on small boats.
The Home Office told The Independent that she was referring to proposals, floated by predecessor Priti Patel earlier this year, to use scientific methods to uncover adult migrants posing as children in the hope of being allowed to stay in the UK.
An expert panel commissioned by Ms Patel to look into options including X-rays, CT scans and MRI imaging is understood to be nearing the completion of its work.
Hannah Marwood, from Care4Calais, said her organisation had supported hundreds of children who the government had incorrectly taken through what is known as an age dispute and the cases had raised serious safeguarding concerns. "The children we have worked with have been placed in accommodation with adults they do not know, which is a scary situation for any minor to be left in," she said.
"Age disputes have a real impact on these young people's mental health. They don't understand why the government is challenging their age, it causes them great anxiety."
She added: "The government's plans for the Home Office to take over the age dispute process and to use methods such as X-rays have already been criticised by experts, including evidence that it will produce inaccurate results causing more harm to young refugees. It's time the government ditched the rhetoric and adopted a kinder, more compassionate approach to age disputes."
And Mr Simmonds said that Ms Braverman's priority should be reducing the giant backlog of asylum claims, with almost 110,000 waiting for decisions in March this year – a 300 per cent rise from 2018.
"Because of a lack of capacity in the Home Office to settle these cases, we are seeing more and more use of hotels, with thousands of asylum seekers in Kent and around Heathrow," he told The Independent. "Four local authorities have obtained injunctions to prevent the Home Office using hotels in their areas.
"The home secretary and her ministers need to get this sorted out, and quickly. This is the UK in the 21st century, we shouldn't be seeing children with their families living in tents and sleeping on the ground in Manston. That is not acceptable on a humanitarian basis.
"The capacity of the system is simply not sufficient for the numbers of people – but those numbers are not particularly high. It's less than half the previous peak and France has double and Germany treble the numbers we do."
Mr Simmonds said that his discussions with would-be migrants at Calais made clear that the "hostile environment" offered by Britain and the threat of removal for processing in Rwanda was "no deterrent at all".
Most wanted to reach the UK because of ties with family or friends there, he said. And others believed that Brexit gives them a chance of a "fresh start" in Britain, which is no longer able simply to deport migrants to the first safe EU country they entered.
The home secretary has thrown the spotlight in recent days on Albanian men who have arrived in the UK in ever-growing numbers over recent months.
But Mr Simmonds said that the focus should instead be on swift processing of nationalities like Iranians, Iraqis and Afghans, whose asylum claims are approved in a large majority of cases.
And he said that the only way to reduce perilous Channel crossings in small boats was to allow asylum seekers to make their claims overseas and come to the UK for processing.
"As long as we don't have a safe and legal route open to people, the people smugglers are going to continue coining it," he said.
A Home Office source said Ms Braverman and her team were "working flat out" to bring down the backlog of asylum cases. The home secretary told cabinet a "whole-government approach" would be needed to tackle the crisis.

Banks to Make Investments Greener (Democrats Please Note)
August 15, 2020 by Llewellyn King Leave a Comment
The Democrats, supporting in whole or in part the goals of the Green New Deal, have, one suspects, a vision of themselves facing off against an implacable opposition of energy companies and financiers committed to business as usual.
The fact is, if the Democrats win the White House in November, they may find the enemy isn't fighting. Indeed, they may find energy producers — both oil and natural gas — and the electric utilities are no longer opponents but devout, if questioning, allies in the struggle for carbon neutrality.
And Wall Street, often identified as the evil force behind the polluters, is striving to be green, and to assess and direct the effect of their lending with a view to reducing carbon emissions and remediating them.
A remarkable organization, the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF), has enlisted top global banks and lenders in the decarbonation of the future. In the United States its partners include Amalgamated Bank, Bank of America, Citibank, BlackRock and Morgan Stanley.
A slew of banks spread across western Europe has joined PCAF, including Britain's NatWest and Denmark's Danske Bank. Its first task will be to develop organization-wide standards and methodology to assess the carbon impact of their lending.
Oil and gas entrepreneurs and electric utilities have long been entwined with their bankers. They need each other. It takes a lot of capital to explore for and exploit oil and gas deposits, and the electric utilities have traditionally been the most capital-intensive American industry.
So complete has been the relationship between banking and energy that American Electric Power, once the nation's biggest electric power company, had its headquarters on Wall Street for decades before moving it to Columbus, Ohio, where its customer base is.
The Edison Electric Institute, now a fixture among the power players in Washington, was headquartered in New York City when I began writing about the utility industry in 1970. Likewise, the Atomic Industrial Forum, a forerunner of the Nuclear Energy Institute, moved to the Washington area.
When the price of oil went down suddenly in the 1980s, a bunch of Southwest banks failed. The banking-energy linkage is absolute and at heart unshakable. And it can be dynamic and progressive.
PCAF is the singular and extraordinary creation of Guidehouse, a globe-spanning environmental consulting firm. It began modestly in Holland — one of the most eco-friendly countries in the world — in 2015 and spread to banks across Europe. But its big expansion came in the last two years with the addition of the big American financial institutions and NatWest.
It won't just be large energy investments that will be subject to scrutiny and assessment by PCAF members. "It will extend all the way down to mortgages," Jan-Willem Bode, a Guidehouse partner based in London, told me in a guest appearance on "White House Chronicle," the weekly news and public affairs program on PBS.
Bode said the banks want to harmonize how they measure their carbon impact and work toward investments in everything from alternative energy projects, like wind farms, to solar homes that reduce the carbon load.
Bode insisted the commitment of the partners is real. They want a decarbonized future and will favor investments which bring that about.
Of course, there will be critics aplenty. They'll bandy about the pejorative "greenwashing" and will suggest that the companies that financed carbon production in the past are still at it.
I think they haven't got the message: America will be greened a lot faster when big money says "green."
Take what Citi's CEO Michael Corbat said, "If there's one lesson to be learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is that economic and physical health and resilience, our environment and our social stability are inextricably linked."
The greenback is getting greener.

The Southern California two-year colleges had offered to hand out four-year degrees far afield of the average ivory tower — including a baccalaureate in mortuary science.
Now the community colleges that may soon offer bachelor's degrees tossed their mortar boards Tuesday at the chance to supply high-skilled graduates for jobs with more educational demands.
"A few victory laps, and then it's 'Oh man, now we've got to make it happen,'" said Liz Diachun, spokeswoman for Antelope Valley College in Lancaster, which won initial state approval to offer a bachelor's in aerospace manufacturing. "This is something that the community really wants and really needs.
In a historic decision for the state, the California Community Colleges Board of Governors on Tuesday gave the initial nod to allow 15 selected community colleges to award bachelor's degrees from equine industry to dental hygiene to auto tech.
Final approval of each degree program is expected in March.
A four-year degree in airframe manufacturing technology would be a boon to high desert aerospace and aviation, Diachun said, which include school partners Northrop Grumman, Boeing and Lockheed Martin. It would also greatly help students who must drive an hour to attend four-year public schools.
Among the schools recommended by the state Tuesday for consideration was Santa Monica College, which hopes to award B.A.'s in "interaction design" — or graphic and Web design for smart phones and other devices.
The degree program, expected to cost as little as $10,000, is meant to respond to high-tech job demands from Silicon Beach, with more than 500 tech startups on L.A.'s Westside, including Google, Yahoo and EdgeCast.
The celebrated West Los Angeles College Dental Hygiene Program may soon award a bachelor's in science. For the past decade, 100 percent of its students have completed the program, passed state and national licensing exams and landed jobs, school officials say.
But with an expected growth rate for the field of dental hygiene at 19 percent in Los Angeles County and 33 percent across the nation, the Culver City college hopes to soon step up to higher ed.
"As West Los Angeles College continues to expand access for our communities to education and economic opportunity, offering a bachelor's in dental hygiene will give our graduates access to a top-quality education at a most affordable cost," WLAC President Nabil Abu-Ghazaleh said in a statement.
He said a B.S. from West L.A. will open the door for student graduates to private practice, leadership positions or transfer into a graduate program, in addition to becoming researchers and corporate reps.
"This has been a long time coming, a game changer for graduates of the program, and it will open doors that were barriers in the past," said Carmen Dones, chair of the school's Allied Health Division.
Among the 34 applicants to apply for the 15 coveted community college bachelor program slots was Glendale Community College, which wasn't chosen for its proposed degree in real estate appraisal. Another was College of the Canyons, which had hoped to offer a degree in network information technology.


1. It is 100% possible to forget how to pump gas. Although the Volt has a gas "generator" (not really an engine, but it's a back up) I have yet to need to put any gas in it.
2. They're stealthy. I had two ladies carry on a conversation behind my car while I got in, buckled up, put it in reverse and then had to stick my head out of the car and ask them to move because they couldn't hear the car running!
3. Eavesdropping is so easy. Electric cars are silent, other drivers at intersections are not.. so you get to hear conversations people think are private.
4. There are no vibrations! You get used to it, but regular cars vibrate so much! It can't be good for you?
While Brad was in San Francisco, I stole borrowed his car. It makes sense since my car uses a lot of gas and his uses none.
The cool thing about the Leaf is that it has an app. The car talks to the server, the server talks to the app and we can do all sorts of cool stuff. Including monitoring driving efficiency. Brad really likes to monitor the range and energy usage of the car, and continues to track how much we aren't spending on gasoline.
One Tuesday he sent me a driving report detailing the efficiency of my driving.
Regardless of how creepy the energy spying was, it's nice to know I'm an energy efficient driver!


These little bites of pretzels are different from the popular ranch-flavored pretzels. They are coated with just the right combination of cinnamon and sugar, which goes well with the saltiness of the pretzels. Try these at your next get-together with your friends and I bet they will all be reaching for more.
In large roasting pan, stir together oil, sugar and cinnamon.
Add the pretzels; toss to coat well.
Bake at 300° for 30 minutes, stirring twice.
Note: These pretzels can be stored in an air-tight container for a couple of weeks so they can be made in advance.
"Loved these! We eat a lot of pretzels around our house but these were an extra special treat. My kids are already asking me to make them again."

Daryl Somers is back in the room at Nine
By Dan Barrett
A sceptical EP and a beloved TV host embrace a hypnotism game show
Stuart Clark believes he is onto a winner with the new series You're Back in The Room – a hypnotism game show hosted by Daryl Somers. Serving as the executive producer for Nine on the Fremantle Australia production, he quickly saw the show was working: "I've been doing this stuff for 38 years. When the old, jaded, grumpy production crew – the cameramen and everyone else – actually laugh and say this is funny, it makes me feel like we're onto something. They're always the hardest people to sell. That to me was a good sign.
"Will people watch it? I hope so. I hope people give it a chance."
And a chance they gave it. The first episode received an audience of 1.15 million viewers, coming second for the night.
With TV dominated by cooking, talent, and renovation shows, a traditional family-fun entertainment show found its audience?
"It's hard these days. People are very quick to be negative on everything. Getting people to be positive about shows is really hard. I think the hardest thing in terms of launching this show is not the show itself, but getting people to say, 'It's Daryl, it's new, it's funny, I'm going to give it a crack.' Hopefully, people will see the freshness of that and do that.
"Nine, for good or bad, managed to secure the rights to it and away we went. I love the show. It's enormous fun," Clark said.
While he came to it as a hypnotism sceptic, Clark was won over by the format itself and its unique use of a prize pool of money to keep the format honest. Watching contestants fail at simple tasks which prevent them from winning money due to hypnotic suggestion obstacles is proof positive that the hypnotism is genuine.
This, Clark explained, is why the format does work: "The main thing is that most hypnotism shows are done in a format like The Footy Show or similar ilk where audience members get up and they make them cluck like a chicken. Then people ask whether it's real or not real. It's very much a grey area. The difference is this show has people playing for money, so if they weren't hypnotised, they wouldn't allow themselves to lose money.
"When I sat down and watched the process, I realised it was real. I was like everybody else and thought you're like a walking zombie. But it's quite different to that. Everyone is quite awake. It accentuates all your senses and your conscious mind. As one of the contestants described it, it's like sneezing. You know you're going to sneeze. You don't want to sneeze, but you can't stop it. It's very interesting."
Clark admitted that he wasn't the only sceptic initially. Series host Daryl Somers also came to the program as a sceptic. Once he saw the format at work, however, he realised there was something to the show. Approached to host the show midway through last year, he saw the show was very much in line with the family-based fun he likes to revel in.
"He got right into it. Some of the [hypnotic] triggers have people playing tricks on him, which is funny because he's a pretty straight-laced guy. I found him to be incredibly warm, charming, and open. For him, it's a great vehicle," Clark reported.
Having Somers as the host of the show is a key ingredient to the show's success. As a fun, party show, the format requires a host who is upfront without any underlying cynicism.
"There are certain Australian performers and presenters who are like a comfortable old friend. Daryl is a bit like that. He was a natural fit. It's not like a new host where you've got to build their personality and have the audience understand who they are on top of explaining the games and everything else. With Daryl – very comfortable. People know who he is. He's a thorough professional. He's funny and he's very quick."
Along with Somers hosting, the show also makes use of hypnotist and mentalist Keith Barry. Barry works with the contestants on the show to have them achieve a deep hypnotic state that is like a waking trance. The process reportedly takes several hours.
With an extensive career behind him, Barry is also quickly able to tell if a contestant is faking a hypnotic state through various triggers and processes. Barry also has a very strong familiarity with the format, having worked on its original UK production, which has just finished shooting its second series.
In addition to the local production, a version has also been made for France, with Colombian and Slovenian networks also embracing it.
For industry veteran Stuart Clark, the production offers an opportunity to try something different professionally. He has had an extensive career, working on high-profile series like Farmer Wants a Wife, RBT, The Biggest Loser, The Block, Backyard Blitz, and four Olympics telecasts. You're Back in The Room has been great for Clark to stay energised.
"Being show-makers, we're like children. We have a limited attention span. New things and new challenges excite us. Going from something which is really heartfelt with a beautiful cast of real people, which Farmer Wants a Wife was, to something like this is great. My mind is fresh. I come at it with a fresh perspective, excited and pumped up. I feel blessed and lucky every day that I get to work in this business.
"It's a hard business," he said.

You'll answer about thirty questions to help us create a profile of your ideal sales candidate. We'll add your criteria to our own validated criteria for a successful salesperson in the experience range you specify. We have criteria for five different ranges of experience so the more challenging the role, the more difficult it will be to meet the criteria for hiring.
After we review your criteria, you'll receive an email with your unique Access Code and instructions for assessing your sales candidates. You should send your candidates to the specified address early in the process (following receipt of the resume) to avoid wasting time with candidates that aren't recommended for your position. Our statistics show that clients who assess immediately following the receipt of a resume have a pool of recommended candidates 50% larger than those clients who wait until just before the first interview. The clients who assess early are also EEOC compliant and save much more time because they can automate the early stages of the process.
Your candidate takes the assessment, answering approximately one hundred questions in all. If you are using Express Reference, your candidate will also provide the names and email addresses of up to 3 references.
After your candidate finishes the assessment, the results are emailed to you, usually within 5 minutes. If the candidate is recommended and you hire that individual, you can "upgrade" the screening to a full evaluation, a document that is appropriate for your new salesperson to read.

For the love of games
Born out of a passion for classic gaming and arcade machines, the Arcade Club has grown from a small room to a converted mill in just a few short years. Driven by a passionate team and community, and an ever expanding library of games and facilities, the goal remains the same: provide access to as many people as possible to gaming's history and the joy of visiting the "local" arcade.
The Arcade Club started as Andy's private collection of 30 arcade machines. Originally in the back room of the local computer shop he ran with his family, visitors began to take more and more of an interest in getting a taste of nostalgia – and cup of tea!
It wasn't long before the decision was made to open the original Arcade Club in a warehouse in Haslingden with about 100 machines. It was in this underground setting the community really began to grow. With more and more positive reviews being shared, we started getting visits from journalists leading to a TV appearance on the BBC's Inside Out. Then things really took off.
In October 2015 the Arcade Club moved to Ela Mill in Bury with more than twice the space to accommodate more machines than ever. A gaming themed lounge was added for people to gather and try new technologies like VR while enjoying hot food and drinks. Retro game consoles were added to the free-to-play roster including Nintendo 64, PC Engine, PlayStation, Sega Saturn and Xbox. The additional space also allowed the introduction of more modern large cabinets – like our twin sit-down deluxe Outrun 2.
March 2017 saw the opening of Floor 2 – doubling again what the Club has to offer, and with style. Event and tournament focussed, networked PCs, modern consoles and a broadcast stage with a 185" screen invites other gaming communities to make Arcade Club their home. We're now regularly hosting tournaments with BandaiNamco and Manchester Battle Arena (MBA). Rhythm games, Versus City fighting cabs and a dedicated pinball room all add to the atmosphere, while a fully stocked bar serving an American diner hot menu completes the picture.
And we're not done yet – always changing to stay ahead and offer the best possible experience. 😉

So like peanut butter and jelly, we realized these two features would go better together. Starting today, most of you will see a small "Like" button appear underneath comments. We're rolling this out gradually, so if you don't see the new button yet you will soon.


This weekend we have our first Qualifier off the white tees, we still have preferred lies in operation but only on "closely mown areas", not "through the green" please see notice at the end of this blog. Also the "Rake & Place" local rule is ended as all bunkers are back in play.
We are now using CONGU handicaps and not all members have active handicaps (you can check on the website or on the PSI terminal in the hall, active handicaps have a "c" after the exact handicap). In order to keep your handicap active you must have at least 3 qualifying scores each year (either scores from qualifying competitions or supplementary scores). As usual we allow those with in-active handicaps to enter competitions in order to record a qualifying score but they are not eligible to win.
We are seeing a high number of NR's recorded and we encourage all competitors to enter a score into the PSI terminal at the end of the round, even if you have not completed one or more holes please enter a score into the holes you have completed as failure to do so distorts the CSS calculation and creates extra work in administering the competition results and handicaps. Please help us to improve our record keeping. We are aware the PSI terminals are slow to respond and we are working to rectify the problem, in the meantime please be patient and persevere as they do work eventually.
"A ball lying on a closely-mown area through the green may be lifted, without penalty, cleaned and replaced on a spot, within six inches, of where it originally lay and not nearer the hole. A player may place his ball only once, and it is in play when it has been placed. Note: "Closely-mown area" means any area of the course, including paths through the rough, cut to fairway height or less".

A low-cost, easy-to-use arsenic sensor that can be used to test drinking water has been developed by researchers at University College London (UCL) and Imperial College London, with BBSRC funding. Bio Nano Consulting, a spin-out company from the two universities, has patented the sensor design and is now carrying out field trials.
The sensor is small, sensitive and accurate, and produces an immediate measure of the arsenic level in water, at a cost of less than $1 per test. This makes it suitable for testing multiple sites in rural areas in low and middle income countries, where the problem of arsenic poisoning from contaminated drinking water is greatest. According to the World Health Organisation, more than 140 million people across 70 countries drink water that contains unsafe levels of arsenic.
Dr Joanne Santini, who developed the sensors together with Professor Tony Cass using BBSRC Follow-on Funding and a BBSRC Case Studentship, expects them to be on the market within three years. This work earned Santini a position as a finalist in the International Impact category at BBSRC's 2017 Innovator of the Year competition.


You've put off getting backyard chickens long enough! Now's the time to start your flock and start rolling in the eggs.
It seemed like a fad, didn't it? Urban and suburban chicken coops popping up all over the country, appearing on reality TV shows, on school campuses and even in celebrity backyards. Maybe you saw it all over your own social media, too: personal friends or neighbors posting photos of their baby chicks, then their laying hens and finally of them grinning goofily over their first eggs.
After my husband and I left our big-city jobs and lifestyle, relocated to his sweet hometown in the mountains and bought our first home, the very next thing we did was start a flock of chickens. Those grinning goofballs I mentioned above? That was us. Today, we have expanded our own homestead to include other animals, and those friends and family who probably thought we were nuts? Well, they now keep chickens, too.
I Can Buy Eggs At The Store: Why Raise Chickens?
After years of keeping chickens and eating the eggs they lay, I have come to appreciate my birds for far more than their contribution to my table. Chickens are inherently an organic form of pest control—a must for any gardener or anyone who spends time outside, really. They love to eat ticks, and since keeping birds in my backyard, the tick populations in our little microclimate have plummeted.
Chickens provide copious amounts of nitrogen-rich manure, to use in your own garden, or to sell or trade, too. They are also entertaining to watch and soothing to listen to (unless you have a rooster, of course). And, naturally, the eggs laid by backyard hens, whose diets are often supplemented with greens, grass, bugs and kitchen scraps, put grocery-store eggs to shame.
The good news about any popularized trend is that there is usually a lot of support behind it. The interest in keeping backyard chickens in urban and suburban areas has encouraged changes in local laws, with many ordinances against the keeping of pet chickens overturned. Before getting chickens in your own municipality, check regulations regarding keeping poultry within your city's limits—most chicken-friendly towns only allow hens (no roosters, due to noise), limit the number of birds you may keep in a single flock, and are regulated largely by complaints. Also discuss with your HOA, if you live in one, before bringing birds home, as they often have their own separate .
Once you determine that chickens are legal in your city and everyone in your household is on board with starting a flock (or at least, begrudgingly agrees), you're ready for the fun part: planning a coop and researching breeds.
Start With Chicks Or Chickens?
There are advantages and disadvantages to each potential method: hand-reared chicks are sweet and will likely be easily managed if raised in your household, but they require a lot of care. It will also be several months before you see any eggs. Pullets may be flightier, but they'll be at "point of lay" (meaning you get eggs right away), and because they're sexually mature, you'll know there won't be any surprise roosters in the bunch.
It would also be prudent to learn as much as you can about chickens and how they behave: peruse backyard-chicken-keeping websites, read books about keeping chickens and get to know their quirky ways. Chickens are social creatures, so you'll certainly need more than one. I consider three to be a bare minimum number. They'll be happier, however, with a bit of a larger flock: Anywhere from six to 10 birds seems to be a sweet spot, as far as the intricate social dynamics of chicken hierarchy go.
Hands down, my favorite part of getting new chickens is researching breeds. I'm fully convinced there's a chicken breed out there for everyone. Want a big fluffy, cuddly bird? Try the Buff Orpington. Rockstar egg layer? The Leghorn is for you. How about one that looks like David Bowie in Labyrinth? Look no further than the Polish chicken.
If yours is to be a family flock, handled and cared for by small children, docility and disposition will likely be at the top of your list. If you keep chickens for culinary reasons, finding a good laying breed or dual-purpose breed will be most important to you. If you live where winters are extreme, cold-hardy birds will be a priority. You get the gist. There are handy charts and tools online for finding your perfect breed.
Are Your Chickens' Needs Covered?
Chickens are painlessly easy to care for—once you have everything set up, that is.
Before anything else—the equipment, feed, treats, funny sweaters—they need a secure coop. Housing is a basic requirement for keeping chickens, and it serves the purposes of keeping the elements and predators out and chickens safely in. It also provides a warm, dark and dry place for them to lay eggs, in the way of nest boxes. Depending on your city or HOA's rules regarding the ownership of chickens, the coop may need special placement in your yard, and special upkeep to always to look (and smell) its best.
As with any pet or livestock, fresh food and water is a daily necessity. Online retailers, hatcheries and farm-supply stores all sell the necessary equipment for feeding and watering chickens, on any scale. Fun items, like specialty treats and chicken sweaters (I wasn't kidding!) are also available through pet-chicken websites and catalogs.
In your first years as a chicken keeper, you'll inevitably have questions. One great option is to turn to the vast world of information and that is the internet. There are wonderful online resources, forums and communities for chicken keepers, and by talking to people virtually, you can source from an endless pool of information and experience.
However, don't underestimate the power of local connections, too. See if there are backyard chicken keepers in your area that gather and support one another, and get to know them. My town actually has a Meet-Up group, and they do egg- and chicken-themed potlucks. Really! Local resources will come in handy as your birds get sick, need care, require veterinarian recommendations, or simply to swap stories and to buy and sell new birds.
On social media and in conversation, I tend to make keeping chickens look flawless and easy. And truth be told, most of the time, it is. But to keep chickens means to be a steward of life and sometimes death.
When I was first getting started, a local farmer friend told me that chickens may simply "up and die"—passing on with no known reason or apparent illness. Alive and scratching one day, gone the next. Several years later, when one of my chickens did indeed "up and die," I thought of his words. However, knowing what I know now, I recognize the keeper's role in having healthy and safe birds. Some of it is in your control, and some of it isn't.
Chickens have a surprisingly long lifespan (10 to 15 years in some cases), but they're also the quintessential prey animal for predators large and small. This means that each one is a fluffy, squawking, feathery target. Domestic dogs are the main suburban chicken predator; foxes, raccoons, and weasels are considered a close second. Chickens even fall prey to the tiniest of predators, such as mites and lice, too. Secure and properly maintained (read: clean) housing can prevent the loss of your birds to some of these predators.
Death isn't the only part of life with chickens, thankfully. Once your pullets begin to lay, you may find odd eggs, encounter unusual reproductive ailments, and notice other strange (to you) habits. If not properly cared for or cleaned, chickens and their enclosure may begin to smell. If you started with young birds, such as chicks, consider what you'll do if one grows up to be a rooster. Finally, make arrangements for your birds when you travel ("chicken sitter" is indeed a growing occupation). Welcome to the odd and wonderful world of keeping chickens.


If you're a Mississippi homeowner having trouble making your mortgage payments, you might be eligible to receive financial help from the state's Home Saver program.
If you're worried about losing your Mississippi home to a foreclosure, you might be eligible to get financial help from the state's Home Saver program, part of the federal Hardest Hit Fund.
You can use program money to get caught up on overdue amounts, make future payments, and potentially save your home from foreclosure. To get an overview of the program, learn how much assistance is available, and find out if you're eligible, read on.
As part of the program, Mississippi received over $101 million to go towards helping eligible homeowners avoid foreclosure. So, the state set up the Home Saver program. Additional funding came through in 2016.
Home Saver has a couple of programs that provide money to homeowners who've lost their job or experienced a reduction in income through no fault of their own.
The mortgage payment assistance program provides funds to unemployed and underemployed homeowners while they look for work. The program will cover 100% of your mortgage payments for 24 months or more, depending on the circumstances, as well as a provide a one-time payment to reinstate (catch up on) a delinquent loan if needed.
This program provides money to homeowners who previously fell behind on their mortgage payments due to unemployment or underemployment, but who are now re-employed, so they can reinstate their defaulted mortgage.
To get details about eligibility criteria and program exclusions, go to the Home Saver website.
Assistance is in the form of a nonrecourse 0% interest, forgivable loan secured by a subordinate lien on your home. The loan is forgiven over a five-year period at a rate of 20% per year. You have to repay the loan only if you have sufficient equity and you sell the home or refinance it before the loan's end date.
All assistance funds are sent directly to the servicer on behalf of the homeowner so your servicer must agree to accept the funds.
To apply for mortgage payment or reinstatement assistance, go to the Home Saver application page. To get more information about available assistance, go to the main Home Saver webpage or call 601-718-4647.
Once your application for assistance is approved, the Home Saver program will notify your servicer.
So, if you're facing an impending foreclosure in Mississippi and hope to qualify for Home Saver assistance—or another alternative to foreclosure—consider talking to a local attorney to learn about your options for stopping the foreclosure. It's also recommended that you talk to a HUD-approved housing counselor.


I often programme ab roll outs for my clients as a primary anti-extension exercise, beginning with Swiss ball roll outs and progressing to ab wheel/barbell rollouts and suspension trainer roll outs (usually around 8 to 10 reps for 3 sets), along with an anti-rotational core movement, an anti-flexion movement and an anti-lateral flexion movement (more on those later). If you want to know more about why I programme core training in this way, you can read more in my post >>Resist the (rotational) force! The key to core strength for pole<<.
Anti-extension training has some awesome cross-over benefits for polers, but we are all different, with varying mobility and strength limitations and our own unique training schedules, so we all have different starting point. My best advice? Get good in the basics first!
If you'd like a fully personalised programme to help you build strength for pole and that takes into account your individual abilities and circumstances, you can find my online personal training programmes for polers here.
Neo is an experienced pole fitness instructor and strength and conditioning coach from Yorkshire, England. A former lawyer, she ditched the pinstripe to pursue her passion for fitness and is now much happier lifting weights and climbing poles! When she's not in the gym, up a pole, writing programmes or chatting to her clients, Neo can usually be found rustling up something tasty in the kitchen and/or watching cat videos on YouTube.
Getting the hang of leg hangs!

I manually made the loop using all the parts from the People Mover template.
I have the collectibles added to the level (up to where I am finished with the layout): Yellow orb = 1 ring; Blue Armored Orb = 10 rings; I have a giant trigger area under the level hooked to a kill switch that resets the counter and the collectibles.
Is there a way to decrement the collectible counter when the player is damaged? I am trying to simulate losing rings if you get hit by spikes or bad guys.
I am done with the layout until just after the tunnels. I set all three tunnels up like people movers. I also have all the falling platforms hooked up.
The end is near!!! I have the layout and decorations all done. I have all the collectibles placed (yellow for 1 and Blue Armored for 10). I have all the falling platforms placed and hooked up! I have the "finish line" set with mini explosions and a pop in sign (obviously it isn't Dr. Robotnik). I have scalable barriers through about 80% of the level but the last 20% should go pretty quickly! If somehow you fall off the bottom or side of the level, it is instant death and the level will reset the collectibles and send you back to the nearest checkpoint.
I tried a different approach with the second "super ramp" I used a trigger area (scaled down) attached to a Weather vane to blow the player to the destination. the weather vane turns off after 3 seconds so they go pretty far. The trigger is small enough that you can jump over it though. I haven't gone back (and won't) to fix the first ramp because I would have to redo A LOT of the early part of the level.
The main thing I have left is to figure out what types of enemy characters to put in the level to best simulate sonic bad guys and how to lock them into a specific area.
I am also thinking about trying a block art intro before the level starts but I am not sure how to do those. I am assuming a locator and a camera but I need to figure out the rest.
Any guidance you talented toy box artists can provide would be greatly appreciated!!!
EDIT: I got the block art started and hooked it to a target camera and the level starter. After I got a ways into the block art, I realized I didn't put it far enough away from the rest of the level. If only there were an area selection tool that would allow you to select a large area of a toy box and move it all together!!!
I am not quite done but I just shared the box with my Wii U friends. If anyone else wants to test it out, just send me the Wii U Friend request.
The only thing left is finishing the scalable barriers to keep the players on the path (95% done) and adding the bad guys.
I finished the barriers and changed the end of the level to use a logic gate (my first). I have several things hooked up to the level starter including a default checkpoint. Sometimes when the level loads, the side scroll camera kicks in and the view is really far away...can't see the character far away!!!! Other times it loads just fine. Also, a few of my barriers get slightly resized whenever I reload.
I am still not that happy with the enemy selection for the level. Can anyone give me advice on limiting the movement of the enemies I place?
I have been trying to put the finishing touches on the level and upload it tonight. Some of the barriers keep either repositioning or resizing. I completely deleted them and added new in their place. They keep moving the the same position but all the other changes I made are still in place.
When I try to fix one thing, the next time I load it, something else is broken. I placed enemies throughout the level but they have disappeared.
So, being the perfectionist I am, I am not quite happy with the results. Although I think right now they are as good as I am going to get them. I was finally going to load it but I tried one more play through and it glitched at the beginning of the level. Anytime I would make Stitch Jump or roll, he would teleport back to the beginning of the level. Wierd!!! It stopped eventually and I just finished the upload.
I will post a link if/when it is uploaded into the community content. It is called "Greenhill Zone 1".
The block art looks amazing, I will try it out soon and let you know.

Stanley Paul Young (October 31, 1889May 15, 1969) was an American biologist who spent forty-two years working for the U.S. government in several departments which dealt with wildlife management and research. Also known as an author and ecologist, his primary interests were the predatory mammals of the American West: the wolf, coyote, puma or cougar, and bobcat.

Early life and education
Young was born in Astoria, Oregon, to Benjamin and Christine () Young. He attended the University of Oregon, graduating with a BA in mining engineering in 1911. After working for three years as a mining engineer, he decided to change careers and enrolled at the University of Michigan, earning a master's degree in biology. In an interview in 1961, Young said, "As a boy I earned pin money trapping coon and mink near the mouth of the Columbia. I had a deep interest in animal life. It was this interest that made me decide to become a biologist."

Career
In 1917, Young was hired as a ranger by the U. S. Forest Service in Arizona; a few months later he was working as a hunter of predatory mammals for the Bureau of Biological Survey.

Young continued to work in predatory animal control in the West until 1927, when he moved to Washington, D.C., to become the assistant head of the Division of Predatory Animal and Rodent Control. Young held a number of positions in the Biological Survey. When the Survey was transferred to the Department of Interior in 1939, Young was made senior biologist in the Branch of Wildlife Research, and devoted his career to research.

In 1957, Young was named Director of the Bird and Mammal Laboratories, where he remained until his retirement in 1959. The Department of the Interior awarded him its Distinguished Service Award, the highest honor the agency can bestow.

Jennifer Lawrence: I Had a "Copious Amount of Butt Plugs" Found by Hotel Maid
By Nicole Eggenberger
Jennifer Lawrence shared a hilarious story on Conan Dec. 18 about her hotel maid finding a "copious amount of butt plugs" she brought along as a joke.
Who's laughing now? Jennifer Lawrence got caught by her hotel maid with a secret stash of sex toys, which she claims she only bought as a joke. During an appearance on Conan Wednesday, Dec. 18, the 23-year-old American Hustle actress shared the hilarious story with host Conan O'Brien after he asked her what she'd like to be if she wasn't an actress.

"I recently changed it. It used to be, like, doctor, but that's just unrealistic. But definitely I would be a hotel maid because it's all of my favorite cleaning," she shared. "I don't like dishes and I don't like the kitchen, but I love beds, and bathrooms, and spraying, and going through everybody's stuff. Like every day, there are new people to snoop on. It would be my dream."

Does she ever worry that maids are snooping through her stuff?
"Yes! This is actually really funny. Somebody, as a joke, bought me a bunch of butt plugs. It's a long story," Lawrence said. "I had a copious amount of butt plugs. Tons of butt plugs. All different kinds of colors and the maid was coming so I was like, 'well I'll just shove this under the bed so she doesn't see all these butt plugs.' She might not know they are for a joke."

Her hiding spot, however, didn't work. "Then I came back and all of them were brought out of the bed and were in this beautiful display on my bedside table," the Hunger Games star shared. "I think she knew what she was doing. They were under the bed. I wanted to leave a note like, 'not mine' or 'bought as joke.'"

Musings on a Glass Slipper
By Dr. Suzanne Levine
We've all heard the story of Cinderella, the classic folk tale a/k/a The Little Glass Slipper involving a young woman living in unfortunate circumstances at the mercy of her evil stepmother and stepsisters whose life is transformed because she can fit her foot into a tiny glass slipper. The tale has so many variations that span all cultures. In French folklore it's called Cendrillon, ou La petite Pantoufle de VerreIn and in a 19th century German version of this rags-to-riches story, the evil step sisters get the brilliant idea of tricking the prince by chopping off parts of their feet to get the slipper to fit. If it had worked Cinderella might have still been doing housework as one of the wicked women ran off with her prince.
At one point or another, most of us have had Cinderella fantasies…I personally feel like a hybrid of Cinderella and the Woman Who Lived in a Shoe who had so many children she didn't know what to do. In my case though, it's not the kids that are taking over my life – it's the shoes; I have so many that I've sometimes contemplated moving to a bigger home to accommodate them…they seem to have taken on a life of their own. It's fitting that my collection was featured on French television; even though my forebears were hardly well-off, the term "well-heeled" originated in France. Legend has it that several centuries ago, the queen wanted to look taller and slimmer and more glamorous so she commissioned a local cobbler to create shoes with higher heels. This became a fashion trend that only the very rich could afford – so "well-heeled" became a synonym for being rich.
Most women would agree that nothing makes them feel sexier than stilettos. This makes perfect sense of course; the term "Vamp"- which is the front covering of a shoe – is derived from the French term "avant-pied" which means "before the foot" and has become a synonym for "Hot Mama." And of course, I completely relate to the slogan "If the shoe fits buy it – in every color." I love it as much as "Life is Short – Buy the Shoes" …and I think that's what inspired me to get into the work I do. I never wanted my foot size or any problems I might have below the ankle to come between me and the perfect shoe. And my mission of course is to spread the joy…"Shoes for Everyone!" as Carrie Bradshaw proclaimed in SATC2.
It's fitting that Tony Hsieh who is creating quite a buzz with his "Delivering Happiness" movement is the genius who started a little company called Zappos, which was later bought by Amazon reportedly for billions. Because what gives a woman more happiness than new shoes delivered to her doorstep? A rhetorical question to be sure…but I think it's true…just ask Cinderella…

Settlement Guide: how to complete the census?
Source: ABS
The 2016 census on August 9 will be Australia's biggest ever survey. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) expects to count twenty-four million people from more than two hundred countries speaking over three hundred languages. Run every five years, the census identifies key characteristics of the population to help plan for the country's future. And this year most people will complete it online.
By Amy Chien -Yu Wang
The Census of Population and Housing, or census, has been conducted since 1911 to provide a snapshot of Australia. It's managed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the statistical agency of the federal government.
The census is a compulsory survey involving residents of all dwellings on census night. Duncan Young is the head of the 2016 census program.
Australia's census is conducted every five years and it aims to count every person and every household in Australia and some key information about each person
"Australia's census is conducted every five years and it aims to count every person and every household in Australia and some key information about each person. This count of people is critical for planning of services in Australia's education, transport, health and infrastructure and it's used to allocate billions of dollars of government funding across communities all across Australia."
Duncan Young says the most accurate way to survey the country is to ensure every person on any given night is counted. This means tourists and international students here on August 9 are also included.
This count of people is critical for planning of services in Australia's education, transport, health and infrastructure
"If you're away from home but in Australia, you need to fill it out on that night. If you're overseas, out of the country, you don't need to fill out a census form at all. We'll add you into the population count using your departure card but anyone in Australia whether you're at your home, whether you're staying at a hotel or whether you're staying at a camp ground; you need to fill out a census form from that location."
Respondents must answer every question on the census form except the one about religion
"From very early in Australia's history, it was decided that providing information on religion in the census should be an optional choice, whereas completing the census and completing all the other questions should be compulsory. We saw in the last census actually still well over ninety per cent. I think it was ninety-two or ninety-three per cent of people answered the question on religion and so only a very small percentage of people actually do leave that question blank."
This year, the ABS is expecting to see 16 million people counted in the online form - that's more than 65 per cent of all Australian households
The Census has previously been available mostly on paper. The Australian Bureau of Statistics says an increasing number of users have expressed a desire to fill out the census online since it went digital in 2006. This year, the ABS is expecting to see 16 million people counted in the online form - that's more than 65 per cent of all Australian households.
Most households will receive a digital access code in a letter in the mail in early August
"We have made it available so that it works on smart phones, tablets or computers. For a standard household of about four people, it will take around about 30 minutes to complete. But not everyone has a computer or some people prefer to fill it out on paper so we've got easy options available for people to get a paper form and fill it out themselves and post it back in our secure privacy reply paid envelopes."
Most households will receive a digital access code in a letter in the mail in early August. People can also request a paper census form by ringing the helpline.
Type in your 12 digit number and you'll be automatically into a form
"Nearly everyone in Australia will receive a letter from the Australian Bureau of Statistics around the 1st of August and this letter will have a unique 12 digit log-on code and this is the only thing you need to access your census form. Type in your 12 digit number and you'll be automatically into a form. This number can also be used to request a paper form and then we'll mail a paper form to you by priority post."
This number can also be used to request a paper form
People with a disability, who are homeless, or live in remote locations, can access extra support from the ABS.
Those who need assistance in language can receive help to fill out their census forms or access a free language helpline.
"We also produce a range of material in different languages to help people understand how to complete the census. We run sessions called 'fill in form session' where members of the community can come along to a local community centre or local library where there'll be computers available and there'll be people available who speak a range of languages and who can then provide support to people as they work their way through completing the census either online or on paper. People just need to bring their letter with them."
It's mandatory for all Australian residents and visitors to fill out the Census on August 9 - failing to do so could result in large fines up to $180 a day
"Very few people get prosecuted. We're very lucky in Australia that very few people don't complete the Census. Last time the census covered 98.3% of the Australian population so our first task is always to ask people to complete and to send people to remind them and provide any assistance that people need to complete the Census."
After August 9, Census Field Officers will visit households that haven't completed the Census
"Census staff are always very clearly identified with a photographic ID card around their neck from the Australian Bureau of Statistics identifying them. They'll also carry a yellow satchel which is very distinctive and stands out so it's very important when someone come to your door for you to make sure you can see their identification and to make sure they are a census collector before you open your door or provide them with any information."
For more information visit the ABS website.

Q: I need to add the items from list A to list B, only when the item already exists in list B I need to add all the items in list A in to list B, if and only if the items already exist in list B, even if there are multiple items that are same in list A. How can I do this? Right now, it stops after the first of the same words. Say for example, List A is [the, a, sure, book, is, the, best], and list B is [the, rock], I need to add the two "the"s in list A to list B, to make a total of three "the"s in list B
It's for a beginner's class in python. I've tried different formats of the for loop, but it doesn't seem to work. There is a for loop before this, that creates the list B, I think it maybe because of the back to back for loops.
for word in list_a:
    if word[0].isupper() == True:
        list_b.append(word)

list_b = [word.lower() for word in list_b]

for word in list_a:
    if word in list_b:
        list_b.append(word)

list_b = [word.capitalize() for word in list_b]

The second for loop is the one giving me trouble. I have pasted the larger code which I am trying to work with. So my main objective is to first separate the words that are capitalized in list A in to list B.
Then lowercase list B, so I can find the same words in list A that are not capitalized, and then add those to list B as well. Then capitalize all of list B again to print the count.
I know that there is an easier way to do this, where I can just make the original string lowercase and then work from there. However, in this case I need to keep track of the words that were originally capitalized, because when I print the words with their total counts, the words that were originally capitalized, need to print in their capitalized form rather than the lowercase form.
Therefore, the expected outcome I am looking for is list B as [the, rock, the, the].

A: a = ['the', 'a', 'sure', 'book', 'is', 'the', 'best']
b = ['the', 'rock']

b = b + [text for text in a if text in b]

A: list_b = list_b + ([x for x in list_a if x in list_b])

result:
['the', 'rock', 'the', 'the']

What is Single Family Servicing? This department includes Customer Service, Escrow Administration, Payoffs and Assumptions, Investor Relations, and Default Administration for our Single Family borrowers.
Can you tell us about your role at VHDA? Our job is to ensure that we mitigate all types of risks and that all business functions such as data quality, reporting and analytics are in alignment with the investor guidelines.
What do you want everyone to know about your department? We are here to provide excellent customer service.

Our group is responsible for staffing the Call Center, disbursing escrow items, and working with borrowers by performing early stage collections and determining retention options to help our homeowners remain in their homes.
Has the focus of your department changed as a result of the economic shifts over the past few years? We have developed creative initiatives to assist our borrowers with various workouts in Default Administration. In addition, we have increased our staffing capacity to handle the demand for our services. Like other businesses, we have been challenged to do more with less.

How three Birmingham brothers died in contaminated blood scandal - and were cruelly dubbed the 'AIDS family'
John Cornes lost three of his haemophiliac brothers to HIV after they were given infected blood
Tony LarnerHead of News
A BIRMINGHAM man who lost three haemophiliac brothers to HIV after they were given infected blood says they were vilified and branded the "AIDS family".
John Cornes likened the abuse that he and his siblings endured to the treatment the Irish received in the aftermath of the Birmingham pub bombings in 1974, explaining how the grave of one brother was defaced by vandals.
He told the Infected Blood Inquiry that he was one of six brothers to suffer from haemophilia.
Mr Cornes, of Kings Heath , explained how he remembered being treated with the frozen blood product cryoprecipitate as well as Factor VIII blood-clotting products in the 1970s.

HIV could soon END after radical drug found to stop virus transmitting
When asked what information he was given about treatments by doctors, Mr Cornes, who started attending the city's Queen Elizabeth Hospital at the age of 15, said: "We weren't given none.
"We didn't ask the question. They didn't come forward with the possibilities of how it could affect us in the future."
Discussing the day that his brother, Gary, realised that he had HIV, Mr Cornes said: "He was sobbing his heart out."
The inquiry heard how Gary passed away on Remembrance Sunday 1992, aged 26, leaving behind his wife, who herself died in 2000 after contracting HIV from him.
Just a month after Gary had been diagnosed with HIV, another of his brothers, Roy, was told that he too had the condition, and he also died at the age of 26 in May 1994.
Man's hell at living in flea-ridden home for three years - and they're 'eating' him alive
He told how Roy had been a bit of a "Jack the lad" and, between being diagnosed and his death, inadvertently infected a girl with HIV, who died before he did.
Mr Cornes said that the "press got hold of it" and "came down on the family", saying: "In Birmingham, we were known as the scumbags, [and] the AIDS family."
He explained how vandals defaced Roy's grave, saying that it had the word "s***" written on it and had stones thrown at it.

Likening the treatment they received to that of the Irish following Birmingham pub bombings, he said: "I can totally understand the way the Irish community were affected by the bombings and it wasn't their fault, and it wasn't our fault, what happened to us."
He was giving evidence during the first day of witness hearings at the Crowne Plaza hotel in Leeds city centre.
The contaminated blood scandal has been labelled the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS.

The alarming number of Brummies with HIV being diagnosed late
Thousands of patients were infected with HIV and hepatitis C through contaminated blood products in the 1970s and 1980s, and around 2,400 died.
The inquiry heard how a third brother of Mr Cornes, Gordon, was diagnosed with HIV three months after Roy, and died in December 1995.
Mr Cornes said that his mother, who he described as a "big, strong woman", suffered a heart attack and died shortly after Gordon.
He said: "I have got a load of nephews and nieces from the brothers who have died and I have nephews that haven't got a mother or a father. So it's affected at least 30 of my family."
Mr Cornes said he and two more of his brothers were diagnosed with hepatitis C, with one of them dying after suffering a brain haemorrhage which he said was the result of the "stress and anxiety".

"Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be.
Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future. "
William Wordsworth was born on 17th April 1770 in Cockermouth in the Lake District. William was the second of seven siblings born to Christopher, an attorney, and Anne Cookson Wordsworth. His sister, Dorothy, was also a poet and author and she and William were very close. Following the death of his mother when he was eight years old, Wordsworth was sent away to Hawkshead Grammar School. Dorothy was sent to live with relatives in Yorkshire and did not see her brother for nine years. Wordsworth later attended St. John's College in Cambridge where he made his debut as a writer when he published a sonnet in The European Magazine. Wordsworth became an orphan at the age of thirteen when his father also passed away.
In 1790, Wordsworth spent a year in France following a walking tour with friends that visited France, the Alps and Italy. Whilst in France, Wordsworth met and fell in love with a young French woman, Annette Vallon, who subsequently bore him a daughter, Caroline. Shortly after Caroline was born, Wordsworth ran out of money and was forced to return to England. The war between the two countries prevented him from returning to France until 1802, at which point he had not seen Caroline for ten years. It was at this time that he wrote the poem 'It is a beauteous evening, calm and free', following a seaside walk with his daughter.
In 1795, after receiving a legacy, Wordsworth lived with his sister Dorothy first in Dorset and then at Alfoxden, Dorset. Whilst living in Dorset, Wordsworth met Samuel Coleridge. The two formed a close friendship and published their Lyrical Ballads in 1798. This book is credited with helping to launch the Romantic Age of English literature. The book includes Wordsworth's Lines Composed a Few Miles above Tintern Abbey and Coleridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, probably their two most famous works. In 1798, Wordsworth and Dorothy moved to Germany with Coleridge, where Wordsworth began work on The Prelude, a semi-autobiographical poem of his early years which he revised and expanded a number of times. It was titled posthumously and published, prior to which it was generally known as the poem "to Coleridge".
Wordsworth was terribly homesick whilst living in Germany and returned to the Lake District in 1799. In 1802, after amicably separating from Anne Vallon, Wordsworth married a childhood friend named Mary Hutchinson. He and Mary had five children, although two of them died tragically in 1812. In 1807, Wordsworth published Poems in Two Volumes, which included the poems Resolution and Independence and Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood.
Wordsworth became widely successful and was made poet laureate in 1843, following the death of Robert Southey. He initially refused the honour, saying he was too old, but accepted when Prime Minister Robert Peel assured him "you shall have nothing required of you" (he became the only laureate to write no official poetry).
William Wordsworth died on 23rd April 1850 of pleurisy. He is buried at St. Oswald's Church, in Grasmere. His widow Mary published The Prelude several months after his death. Though this failed to arouse any great interest at the time, it has since come to be recognised as his masterpiece.
