Tips FYI
Reagan & Trump: a comparison
Samuel Lee, Staff Writer
Ronald Reagan greets Donald Trump at 1987 White House reception.
Warning: please be advised that this article contains vulgar language.
The most recent incident of our president's vulgarity involves the country of Haiti. This country, a former slave colony of France, is a small island-nation in the Caribbean. Natural disasters have devastated this small island-nation, including the infamous 2010 earthquake in Haiti that killed two-hundred thousand people, and damaged enough buildings to render a million people homeless. Haiti's ravaged infrastructure and economy accounts for its high crime rate, a high mortality rate, and its AIDS epidemic. For these reasons, it was recently designated a "shithole" by Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States of America.
President Trump is an uncanny parallel to the former president Ronald Reagan. Both presidents held little to no political experience prior to their inauguration; Reagan was an actor, Trump, a businessman. Both presidents ran on an anti-government campaign. Additionally, both of these presidents affiliated themselves with republican conservatives. However, one facet of both of these presidents that is often overlooked is their obvious lack, or even apathy, of other countries' situations.
Ronald Reagan saw the Soviet Union as a "evil empire," and fought the Soviet Union on multiple fronts. Besides continuing president Carter's grain embargo on the Soviet Union, he armed the Mujahideen fighters in the Afghanistan region, fighters which devastated the Soviet Union's armed forces. Some of these Mujahideen fighters would later form the Taliban, a group which harbored Al Qaeda, a terrorist organization responsible for the most devastating terrorist attack on the United States. Reagan's determination to end the "evil empire" led to the collapse of the Soviet Union, which in turn led to a destabilization of the countries formerly under Soviet control. Countries formerly under Soviet control and/or allied to the Soviet Union include Afghanistan, Cuba, Egypt, and Poland, all of which are countries now suffering economically or politically.
Let's use Poland as an example. Poland might not seem like it has suffered as a result of the collapse of the Soviet Union. However, many high-skilled laborers leave Poland in search of better opportunities in other European countries. As a result of this brain-drain, there was a massive alt-right march last year in Warsaw, something that is becoming all too common in Europe.
Similarly, Trump has the ability to destabilize our relatively peaceful world. His remarks have already shaken the United States' allies in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. His refusal to visit the United States embassy in London marks an unusual breakaway from previous presidents; it seems England continues to face the world without Trump's assurances. Even earlier, Trump's remarks about Japan and South Korea led to emergency meetings for these countries right after Trump won the presidential lesson. Trump has repeatedly quarreled with Kim Jong Un (current president of North Korea), sparking a "war of words" with the most dangerous nuclear state of our time. This wide-spreading disharmony sown by Trump seems to reflect the presidency of Reagan.
There is a difference though. During Reagan's presidency, Twitter had not been invented yet. Reagan was unable to share every passing thought that crossed his mind; Trump on the other hand is able to alarm his allies in a single, two-hundred and forty character message. There have also been instances when Trump has deleted previous tweets, albeit early in his presidency. This complete disregard for the United States' image, unfortunately, no longer causes great alarm.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)is also called as Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD). PCOS is extremely common with 1 in 8 women between the age of 14 and 44 years suffering from the disease. As symptoms of PCOS are mild, it may go undetected in many patients and the actual prevalence could be even higher.
In Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, there are multiple ovarian cysts on the ultrasound that causes high levels of male hormones on the laboratory tests. High levels of male hormones cause excessive facial growth of hair, male pattern hair loss and acne. Although, many patients with PCOS have mild symptoms, some patients have complications such as infertility, diabetes and menstrual irregularities.
Similar to PCOD, hypothyroidism is also extremely common and 1 in 20 patients may have subclinical (undiagnosed) hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is caused when the production of thyroid hormone by gland is less than the needs of the body. Hashimoto's Disease is the most common cause of hypothyroidism and is caused by our own antibodies attacking the thyroid gland.
Similar to PCOD, hypothyroidism is also characterized by mild and non-specific symptoms like heavy menstrual periods, weight gain, hair loss, among others. Although, most patients will have mild symptoms, hypothyroidism can also lead to heart attacks and coma.
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Hypothyroidism: Are They Related?
Although, hypothyroidism and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome are two separate diseases, there is a significant overlap of symptoms.For example, unexplained weight gain, anovulation (ovarian cycle without ovulation) and irregular periods are key symptoms in both disorders. There are many patients who suffer form both the diseases and it is possible that one of them can increase the likelihood of developing the other disease. For example, almost half of the women diagnosed with PCOS have signs of hypothyroidism on ultrasound scan.
Common mechanism: There are multiple reasons why both hypothyroidism and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome exist together. For example, certain bad genes can make some women vulnerable to develop both Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome and hypothyroidism.Second, Vitamin D possesses immune protective benefits. Therefore, women who have Vitamin D deficiency are at much higher risk of developing both PCOS and hypothyroidism.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome causes hypothyroidism: It is also possible that PCOS leads to hypothyroidism. This could be due to the fact that high estrogen levels in patients with PCOS can stimulate the immune system and can increase the risk of developing Hashimoto's disease.
Hypothyroidism causes Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: Thyroid is the key metabolic hormone. From a number of experimental studies, scientists have concluded that thyroid receptors are also present on the reproductive tissues (primarily uterus). Therefore any impairment or fluctuation in the blood levels of thyroid hormones is bound to affect the functioning of reproductive system.
Hypothyroidism and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome are common diseases and coexist with each other. Both the diseases initially have mild symptoms and can remain undiagnosed for a long time. Thus, women who have PCOS should get investigated for hypothyroidism and vice versa patients who have hypothyroidism should get checked for PCOS. This is important because together both conditions can increase the risk of complications (such as infertility). Moreover, treatment options also vary if both conditions coexist. For example, Clomiphene Citrate not a preferred choice for infertility management in such women due to high risk of drug resistance.

I've been collecting and making little things for when Isabelle moves into her 'big girl bed' … like this and this.
I didn't take a before picture – but I'm pretty sure you can use your imagination.
Last week over at 'Our Creative Space' we were given the challenge to share a tip for staying creative.
It turns out I have done this before – in fact sharing 29 (albeit someone else's) tips for staying creative.
Jenny's tip #1 – When in a creative slump, or just trying to (re)discover your creative side, take on an 'Instant Gratification Project' (IGP), like the little embellishments to this blanket. IGPs give you maximum results for minimum effort – something to give you the satisfaction and confidence that comes with finishing something. I tend to undertake lots of little IGPs while also having a longer, more time consuming project going on at the same time.
Jenny's tip #2 – Something else that I find cultivates creativity is re-cycling/ re-using something and turning into something else. Whether it's a full scale re-style/ change of use, or a simple embellishment (as I've done here); using something in a different way makes you think out of the square and also uses inexpensive resources.
And speaking of creativity and re-cycling, stay tuned as I plan to post the latest instalment of 'The Recycled Roundup' later today.
I love this! So sweet!!
Cute! Great tips (I'm currently in a bit of a creative slump, *sigh*).
Super cute, I managed to pick up one of these blankets the other day, I should totally do something with it, Im all about Instant gratification projects!
Great use of leftover teapots!
Great tips and a very sweet blanket.
Ps your kiddos are adorable.


her heartstrings and there's no way she can't help him…and Jackson.
wouldn't say what she didn't mean.
tight—he couldn't have broken free if he'd wanted to.
mast as she relaxed into him.
other's mouths before crashing together like surf against the sand.
he'd been missing and suddenly needed more than his next breath.
She entwined her fingers behind his neck and pressed into him.
Emma turned her back to him, and Jackson detected a tremor in her voice.

What is a My Brother's Keeper Mentor?
A mentor is a trusted adult friend with a long-term, consistent commitment to provide guidance and support to a youth. At the most basic level, a mentor's role is to help a young person understand that they are valued by their community and possess their own unique gifts and purpose. At the deepest level, mentors stand by and guide youth when they are affected by challenges and conflict in their development.
A desire to help a young person reach his potential is all it takes! Mentors must be age 30 or older (we will make an exception for our peer-monitoring program) and should own or have regular access to a vehicle. We ask mentors to keep their commitments, role model positive behaviors, remain genuine and be yourself!
Ideally, the relationship will last a life-time; however we ask that you willingly commit a minimum of 9 months. During that time, you will share at least four hours per month, that's two hours every other week, with your mentee. Mentors are also expected to call, text or email between sessions. You will also need to log the time that you spend with your mentee and we encourage you to share both successes, as well as challenges that may arise.
After an application and screening process, you will participate in a Mentor training and orientation session that will cover all you need to know to become a MBK Mentor. The next step is the match, which will be made based upon both the mentee and your interests and characteristics. Once you've been matched, we are committed to supporting you every step of the way. Regular trainings, scheduled outings and a full range of suggested activities will be provided on a regular basis.
If you are interested in becoming a mentor of a student in Detroit for the My Brother's Keeper Mentor Project, please fill out the form below and someone will respond to you to continue the registration process.


You made up for its length, and repetitive nature with astounding visuals.
The hair looks a lot better.
I was sad to see it be over so soon. I loved the simplicity of it.
I enjoyed the humor in it. And it was very cute. I look forward to seeing more from you.
You get a 4 for including Bonzi Buddy. You don't get a 5 because there were no Bonzi Buddy jokes or songs.
I will make bonzi sing in da next bonzi game.
The very beginning of it reminded me of "Earth Below Us, Drifting, Falling" but you took it in a completely different direction. Good job.
I am not a big fan of house music, but this is really nice. Every time I could see the change in bars, I was worried it was going to turn into something less than the perfection it was, but the progression in instruments was beautiful!
Holy crap, that was good!
I wish it were slower but it is so good, it still gets 5 stars.
That shading on the top of the apples is perfection.
This is amazing! I love pixel art. The animation is a nice touch.
Thank you very much!, I'm glad that you like my pixel art!

If Leeds United Don't Go Up, Let's Hope Norwich City Go Down – by Rob Atkinson
Hughton – that sinking feeling
Over the last few seasons of Leeds United frustration and mediocrity, one thing at least has become clear. The quality of the scavengers circling to take advantage of our misery has declined since the start of our fall in 2003. A decade ago, it was the likes of Tottenham queuing up to take stars and starlets off our hands at a price cut to reflect the desperation of our position. Latterly though, it's been little Norwich, a club that shared a common lift-off platform with us as we ascended out of the League One murk.
Norwich started that season with a sobering 7-1 home defeat to Colchester United. They promptly sacked the clueless Bryan Gunn, nicked Colchester's managerial prodigy Paul Lambert and never looked back. In the reverse fixture, Norwich won at a canter, went on to win the league and, accompanied by second-placed Leeds, prepared for Championship football.
There, the paths of Leeds and Norwich diverged. Leeds went the austerity route under not-so-cuddly chairman Ken Bates, failing to invest in the squad and selling off their crown jewels to confirm their status as perennial under-achievers since 2010. Norwich, on the other hand, seized the second tier by its short and curlies and breezed their way to a second successive promotion, gaining the promised land and munificent riches of the Premier League, unknown to them since the time of Delia's tired and emotional exhortation to their fans for some sort of atmosphere. And soon, the plundering of LS11 would start.
After a reasonably comfortable passage in their first season back at top level, Norwich set about planning a consolidation of their elevated status. Strangely, to some eyes, they appeared eager to accomplish this by recruiting – over time – the League One midfield of the club that finished runners-up to them at that level in 2010, Leeds United. The first import was Bradley Johnson in July of 2011. This created few ripples at Elland Road, but the next two similar transfers out were bombshells of seismic effect. First home-grown hero Johnny Howson made the trip to East Anglia, in January 2012. Howson's local boy credentials, his untiring efforts in midfield and his knack of popping up with a vital goal – notably at Carlisle in a play-off semi-final and at home to Bristol Rovers when his equaliser restarted the promotion express – were warmly appreciated by the Elland Road crowd. Howson was Leeds through and through, and his loss was keenly felt.
Then, in July it got worse still. Robert Snodgrass was no local boy – but he was the latest in a traditional line of Scottish talent to make a name at Elland Road, following in the illustrious footsteps of Bremner, the Grays, Lorimer, Jordan, Strachan and, erm, George McCluskey. Snoddy was a real talent – he even left us with fond memories of a League Cup defeat to Liverpool when his treatment of a hapless Reds defender was so disrespectfully contemptuous that the lad had to be taken off with twisted blood. His goals were regular and spectacular – Snoddy was a 24-carat Leeds hero.
Norwich City fans were catching on by this time to the regular humiliations their club were visiting upon once-mighty Leeds – and they were revelling in it, weren't they just? Now, any given transfer window brought a barrage of tweets from Canaries fans, with the hashtag LUFC and a mickey-taking 140 characters wondering who the next import from Elland Road would be. They were making hay while the sun shone and loving it. Little Norwich in a position to humble former European giants! It was unprecedented, the stuff of bumpkin wet dreams. Norwich had hit on a rich seam of transfer success as they picked over the twitching corpse of each successive failed Leeds campaign. They had become carrion Canaries, feeders off a bigger but seemingly moribund football club.
By last season, things appeared to have reached the stage where Norwich would take a player from Leeds, not because they needed him, but just because they could. They swooped again in the January window for the disaffected Luciano Becchio, our top scorer, fobbing us off with the ineffectual Steve Morison and an insultingly small cash adjustment. Becchio went on to sink almost without trace at Carrow Road, Morison was a disappointment at Leeds and the whole deal was a failure, of benefit to neither party. But the Norwich fans crowed anew.
Now we have the crazy and repellent situation where, every time a promising lad emerges at Elland Road, the gallows humorists dive out of the woodwork with increasingly weak jokes about him being destined for Norwich City, or more likely Norwich City reserves. These jokes are feeble and unwelcome – but they have the additional barb of that worrying potential to become "bad taste jokes" – by turning out to be true. How Leeds fans have wished for a turning of the tables, to get rid of this monkey on our backs. How we would love, even more, the chance to meet Norwich on equal terms again, our own problems sorted out, and to be able to bring these irritating yokel upstarts to account.
Yesterday, Norwich City – shorn of the injured Snoddy of blessed memory – went to Manchester City, and the Canaries got well and truly stuffed without so much as a tweet of resistance. 7-0 they lost. It was the kind of score the vidi-printer used to choke on and then confirm in capital letters rather than numbers, for fear its accuracy might otherwise be doubted. SEVEN NIL. Some wantonly malicious blogs might even emphasise it in bold. SEVEN NIL. The Norwich defending would have shamed a primary school eleven, they were hopeless in midfield and utterly punchless up front. Could there have been a Leeds fan anywhere who saw that result and didn't experience a frisson of delighted satisfaction? Not this Leeds fan, that's for certain. This Leeds fan and this blog were cock a hoop with mean-spirited glee.
The Germans have a word for it – and as usual it's a long and clunky one. Schadenfreude. It means delighting in the suffering of others and it's not something, gentle reader, to which I'm usually prone – you'll be relieved to hear. But football is the modern take on the gladiatorial arena, in which you are able to see those you despise suffer, and can relish the fact of it without losing your essential humanity. Or so I tell myself. The unvarnished truth is that I want to see Norwich City have a shocking season, culminating in relegation. I'd love to see us displace them in the top flight, but at a push, meeting them again in the Championship would do – ideally with Snods and maybe Johnny Howson back in white shirts as is only right and decent. If what goes around really does come around, maybe that might happen. On yesterday's evidence of their slaughter at the Etihad, it's not impossible.
How sweet, how very sweet, that would be.

Value of input field is set via GET variable and on page load its code looks like this. JS file is included on the bottom of the page, above body closing tag.
<input type="text" id="search_city" placeholder="Select city/town" autocomplete="off" class="form-control ui-autocomplete-input" value="Novi Sad, Serbia">

Why is this not firing?

A: Because it is keypress. Not keypres:
var e = $.Event("keypress");
                      //^-------------- add s

See, that's a typo.

Tom Clark hopes new Snowmass store will bowl over locals
By Madeleine Osberger | May 23, 2014
Humberto Sandoval of Snowmass Village jokes with store director Trevor Moodie at the Clark's Express in Base Village.
Snowmass Village resident Tom Clark Jr. was surprised at the uproar over Related Colorado's decision to choose his family's market over the existing Village Market. He said Clark's will work hard to win over locals when it opens in mid-July.
SNOWMASS VILLAGE — Forgive Tom Clark Jr. if he was more than a little surprised at the public uproar over his family's grocery store replacing the beloved, and also family-owned, Village Market at the Snowmass Center.
"We just didn't anticipate the controversy. It was surprising because this is our home. I live in Snowmass Village, grew up in this valley and went to school in Aspen," said Clark, a second-generation grocery store operator.
Launched in downtown Aspen in 1978, Clark's Market operates stores across the Western Slope, including Telluride and Battlement Mesa, and a pair of stores in Blanding, Utah, one of which is attached to a small bowling alley.
But the entry into Snowmass Village is a more personal venture for Clark and one where he knows he'll have to prove himself in order to overcome the negativity that ensued through the messy changeover.
"This is going to be our flagship store," he said this week. "We're making this as great as we can."
Combining the space of the old Village Market with next-door neighbor Sundance Liquor & Gifts will give Clark's Market nearly double the floor space of its predecessor. (Sundance is moving within the Snowmass Center to the former Aspen Sports outlet space at month's end.)
Now under construction by contractor John Olsen's crew, the new market is expected to open in mid-July.
"We're basically doubling the size of the retail floor (by about 4,000 square-feet), including putting in a shelving that holds 15 percent more product," he said.
If architectural renderings are any indication, Clark's Market Snowmass will have a woodsy mountain feel, attractive lighting and signs, and a refrigeration system that Clark claims uses half the energy of standard coolers.
While the full-service grocery is under construction, Snowmass Villagers may buy the basics at a 1,000-square-foot mini-mart in Base Village that also operates under the Clark's Market flag. In additional to baking essentials and paper products, the store packs a surprising amount of fresh food, sushi, wraps and salads into the space.
Business was steady during the early evening hours one day this week as Humberto Sandoval, who lives within a good tomato's throw from Base Village, stocked up on essentials.
"I'm just buying the basic stuff, including chips," Sandoval said.
He's a regular customer but is looking forward to the opening of the main grocery in the Snowmass Center.
"The new store will be great, then we don't have to go all the way to Aspen for things," Sandoval said.
One item attracting customers to the Base Village store is a machine that offers shakes and smoothies that are mixed on the spot. "Mmmm … I like the cookies and cream," Sandoval allowed. As if on cue, local Jenah Fuechsel sauntered over to the machine to consider what flavor of smoothie sounded best on this warm evening.
The smoothie machine tempts Jenah Fuechsel on a warm Snowmass Village evening.
Ironically, it was mention of the smoothie machine that set off a raft of criticism about Clark's entry into the local market by Snowmass Village Town Councilman Chris Jacobson. A public meeting last month meant to introduce Tom Clark Jr. to elected officials and town staff was short on discussion about operational plans and heavy on fluff, including chatter about the smoothie machine, Jacobson said.
The councilman said someone should have said, "Your store in Aspen is phenomenally overpriced. Is that what you plan to do here?"
Tom Clark Jr. bristled when told of the remark, replying, "We are bringing prices right in line with our Aspen store, which is a significant price difference from what was here (in Snowmass Village) before."
Familiarity and fallout
Asked if Clark's Market Snowmass would offer specials similar to Village Market, such as dropping prices on day-old meat, he said, "We have specials all the time as you'll see in our weekly ad." Indeed, the store offers daily bargains on items ranging from cold cuts and milk to "Five-buck chuck."
But will it be enough to satisfy a customer base loyal to that "other" family-owned business, which is based in Glenwood Springs?
Clark thinks the public is already recognizing that the newest store in his chain will be something special. Based on feedback from community meetings, Clark said, "I had a lot of people say they were concerned but later they said they get it."

At the new store's entrance will be an espresso machine and a display area for featured items. The aforementioned sushi will be made on site, and a new sandwich case will display an array of cheeses. One holdover from Village Market will be the donuts.
"That was brought up by the public," Clark laughed. "We'll have a fantastic donut program there."
Clark said "people will also see familiar faces," including produce manager Jerry Pazar and Teresa Kelly, as well as several cashiers.
Several of the Village Market managers opted to stay with their longtime employer, however, even if it meant relocating. Meat department manager Glenn Drummond as well as store managers Debbie Miller and Greg Miller are now working at the Edwards, Colo., store while Bob Gilmore has moved to Moab, said an employee who asked not to be named.
"We've also had to downsize the office in Glenwood. We're still coping with the fallout" of losing the Snowmass Village store, the employee said.
Back in Snowmass Village, growth and expansion remain top-of-mind for Tom Clark Jr. in this, his latest venture. If the store catches on like Clark believes it will, can the Snowmass Center parking lot handle additional demand?
According to maps provided by Related Colorado, owner of the Snowmass Center, there are currently 190 total parking spaces available in the lot for shared for retail and office needs. And, Clark said, the company is also offering home delivery of groceries to Snowmass Village residents.

An in vitro test of the cell stretch-proliferation hypothesis of renal cyst enlargement.
In renal cystic disease, fluid accumulation within cyst lumens might stretch cyst walls and in this way stimulate cell proliferation. To test this idea, the effects of mechanical stretch on Madin-Darby canine kidney cells grown as cysts in a hydrated collagen gel or as monolayers on collagen-coated Flexcell membranes were examined. The percentage of cells synthesizing DNA (labeling index) was determined by measuring bromodeoxyuridine incorporation and counting cell numbers. The distension of single cysts for 1 h by the intraluminal injection of saline failed to produce a significant increase in labeling index. The exposure of cysts for 2.5 h to 1 mM dibutyryl cAMP + 0.1 mM isobutylmethylxanthine led to a 37% increase in luminal surface area (due to stimulated fluid secretion) and a 30% increase in labeling index. The stretch (25%) of Madin-Darby canine kidney monolayers approximately doubled the labeling index between 12 and 24 h after starting the stretch. After 48 h, the cell population density was significantly increased (P < 0.001), from 41.9 +/- 0.2 (SE; N = 12) to 48.2 +/- 0.5 (N = 12) cells/10,000 microns2. The labeling index increased linearly with applied stretch, from 7.2 +/- 0.3% (N = 36) with no stretch to 16.2 +/- 1.0% (N = 6) with 30% stretch. Stretch had to be maintained for 8 h or more to produce an increase in labeling index at 18 h. No evidence was obtained for the release of a diffusible growth factor by stretched monolayers. The increase in labeling index induced by stretch was unaffected by 50 microM gadolinium, a stretch-activated channel blocker, but was abolished by 5 micrograms/mL cytochalasin B, an actin microfilament-disrupting agent. It was concluded that prolonged stretch stimulates renal epithelial cells to synthesize DNA. This supports the idea that increased wall tension in renal cysts may stimulate cell proliferation and, thereby, may contribute to cyst enlargement.

Lever on latch backplate. A gently undulating curved handle on a sculpted edge shaped backplate. The lever is slightly longer than normal allowing easy and comfortable operation. The shaped backplate has a unique, stepped design which nicely compliments the lever style. Comes with a 10 year mechanical guarantee and is Fire door rated.


An assembly maximum working pressure cannot be higher than its lowest rated component. Chicago couplings are factory rated at 150 PSI, and that assumes they are installed properly, and used at ambient temperature without additional stress. The hose clamp is a small but very important factor in establishing a working pressure rating. If a high pressure hose and fitting are coupled using a radiator clamp, you would not assume that it would hold the stated pressure. The same goes for an air hose with either a light duty or poorly installed hose clamp. Make sure the clamp is installed tightly, but not gouging deep into the hose. A band or screw clamp should be in the center of the coupling shank, or spaced evenly if multiple clamps are applied. Rotate band or screw clamps so that the buckle or bolt are not in alignment but offset. Read catalog and instruction manuals and educate operators in case an onsite repair must be made.
Additional factors can decrease working pressure rating including temperature and stresses such as end pull or pulsation. If a hose is hanging off a bridge during service, all of the weight of that hose is pulling against the coupling and clamp which can cause failure even within the stated operating pressure range. Elevated temperature can reduce a rubber hose working pressure by more than half. Refer to the pressure vs temperature chart and additional info here.
All of these factors take the rating on marked on the hose and bring it lower and lower. Determine your safe operating pressure and inform all potential users of the hose assembly, and mark that assembly with its proper rating. Also install hose safety cables or whip checks to reduce the risk of injury if an accident were to occur. Inspect hoses regularly as well, and remove them from service BEFORE they fail.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Ready to recycle those Christmas jumpers are (sat inside) Yorkshire Air Ambulance Paramedics Pete Vallance and Matt Syrat, (sat on step) Al Day & Graham Pemberton and (standing) Pilot Captain Andy Hall
Have a Christmas clear out for Yorkshire Air Ambulance
Community/Harrogate
Yorkshire Air Ambulance has made a festive fund raising plea to have a Christmas clear-out to help keep its helicopters flying in 2015.
The rapid response emergency charity is calling on people to bag up any unwanted clothes, shoes, bags, curtains and bedding and donate them through their successful recycling campaign.
YAA is an independent Charity needing to raise £9,990 per day to keep both of Yorkshire's air ambulances in the air and maintained. This is equivalent to £3.6 million each year.
The YAA provides a life saving rapid response emergency service to 5 million people across 4 million acres of Yorkshire.
The operate two helicopters, G-SASH and G-CEMS from their Nostell Air Support Unit near Wakefield and RAF Topcliffe, near Thirsk.
The service is operational 365 days a year.
Patients are transferred to the most relevant treatment centre, flying at speeds of up to 160mph.
The Yorkshire Air Ambulance was the first air ambulance in the UK to own and operate a dedicated air desk for dispatch of the helicopters
Since coming online in October 2000, over 5,800 patients have been carried to relevant treatment centres.
The work of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance has also been documented by the successful BBC 1 series, 'Helicopter Heroes', most recently in April 2014.
The Yorkshire Air Ambulance receives no government funding. The only help we receive is through the secondment of our paramedics from the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) Partnership Manager Katie Collinson said: The lead up to the festive season and the Christmas period itself is a really good time to have a clear-out of those wardrobes and drawers,"
So we're asking people if they will make us a gift of their unwanted items – whether it's that that dress that's been hung up for years but never worn or a dodgy Christmas jumper or slippers.
Filling a recycling sack is a Christmas gift that doesn't cost people any money but means so much to us.
Yorkshire Air Ambulance, which provides a rapid response emergency service to 5million people, needs to raise £9,990 each day to keep its two helicopters in the air and maintained – that is equivalent to £3.6 million a year.
The stuff Yorkshire folk no longer need provides a massive cash boost for the county's helicopter heroes.
Since launching its recycling scheme nine years ago with partner the BIU Group, a staggering £2 million has been donated to the YAA from bags of unwanted clothes, shoes and household textiles.
Katie added: We would like to say a huge thank you to all our supporters who have donated their unwanted items to us and made such a massive difference.
Once again the generosity of Yorkshire families just takes our breath away. We have a brilliant relationship with our recycling partners Bag It Up, who gives us a percentage of all the recycled material we collect which adds up to around £300,000 a year!
The charity has 250 recycling textile banks at household waste sites, supermarkets and car parks across Yorkshire. You can find out where your nearest bank is by either going to the YAA website (www.yaa.org.uk) or by calling 01422 237900.
Louise Knapton, BIU Director, said: During the nine years of our partnership with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, our teams have worked extremely hard to build on the recycling infrastructure we introduced in 2005. But it's the people of Yorkshire that have enabled us to reach this remarkable milestone. To raise £2m is a massive achievement that we are extremely proud of.
Our sincere thanks go out to everyone who continues to support our scheme; from the Councillors and local authorities, to the businesses who host our recycling banks at their premises, and to the donors who recycle their unwanted garments with the YAA.
The YAA operates two helicopters from bases in West and North Yorkshire and in its 14-year history has transported more than 5,800 patients.
Without any direct government funding, the only help the charity receives is through the secondment of its paramedics from the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
