They are often left weighing the pros and cons of each decision. Building your own chicken houses can be a great decision and here are a few reasons why.

Cost

The primary advantage of building your own chicken coop is the price advantage. If you were to purchase a prefab coop, you can easily pay over $1000. That is before adding taxes and transportation costs. If you build your chicken house, you only pay the cost of the materials and a few hours of your time.

Customization

Not all chicken hen houses are alike. You need to decide the color, layout, and design of your chicken coop. The windows need to be pointed in the direction where the sun can shine through. You may want to be able to set up the nesting boxes and feeders a certain way. Its possible your design ay not be in stock or priced over your budget.

First Time Owner

If this is you first time raising chickens or you’re just raising just a few chickens, you might not want to incur big expenses from the outset. After a period of time, you might decide that raising chickens is not for you. Building your own chicken hen houses is a great way to test the waters without the big expense of purchasing a new coop.

It’s Easier Than You Think

The biggest obstacle to building your own chicken coop is believing that you can actually build it. If you’re not the do-it-yourself type, it can seem like a daunting task. However, there are chicken coop plans that can guide you step by step through the whole process. The required materials can be bought at a local home improvement store.

‘Each makes the other more difficult to recover from’: University of Sussex professor L. Alan Winters speaks to Wikinews on trade, COVID-19, Brexit

Wednesday, June 30, 2021

Earlier this month, Wikinews spoke with University of Sussex professor of economics L. Alan Winters regarding the decision of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union (EU) in the 2016 Brexit referendum and the subsequent negotiations leading up to and following the EU–UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement of December, which he has researched extensively. In a call, a Wikinews correspondent spoke with Professor Winters about recent developments in UK trade policy to learn more about his observations.

Winters is professor of economics at the University of Sussex, as well as founding director and fellow of the UK Trade Policy Observatory (UKTPO). His career spans over 15 years, including as chief economist at the Department for International Development, director of the Development Research Group of the World Bank, CEO of the Migrating Out of Poverty Research Programme Consortium and advisor for the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Commonwealth Secretariat, the European Commission, the European Parliament, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the World Trade Organization and the Inter-American Development Bank.

Three reports where Winters is listed as an author were used as reference during the interview: “COVID-19 will reinforce the Brexit shock”, “The Costs of Brexit” and “Taking stock of the new UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement: governance, state subsidies and the level playing field”.

Winters was awarded the title “Companion of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath”, styled C.B., on June 16, 2012 as part of the 2012 Birthday Honours.

Why Bee Extermination Is Not A Solution

Submitted by: Ryan Paulin

Most people s knee-jerk reaction is bee extermination when their homes are invaded by a swarm of bees. This generally negative reaction towards bees appears a product of some misperceptions fostered in the mass media, particular those in thriller movies depicting bees as villains out to decimate one town or another. While it is true that people and bees, in general, do not make for an ideal mix, these insects bring more benefits than damage to humans.

Bees are useful to man in helping the preservation of the ecological balance. Most importantly, they pollinate flowers of food crops that are estimated to consist of one-third of our food supply. With the extinction threat on certain species of bees, some plant species will be likewise be threatened with extinction, like the case of the yellow-faced Hawaiian bee which is important in the pollination of plants in the Hawaii islands.

Some bee species, particularly the European variety, are also direct food sources with the honey that they produce. Good for the health, honey is not the only benefit that could be directly obtained from bees. These useful insects also produce beeswax, where thousands of eggs of a colony s queen bee are deposited for hatching and where honey is stored in each egg chamber for the bee larvae s nourishment. The beeswax deposits from bee colonies are collected for use in cosmetics and in the pharmaceuticals industry. Beeswax can also be used as a raw material for candles.

With the many benefits that bees bring, bee extermination is clearly not the solution if these insects stray into homes or populated areas. Extermination, in the first place, usually entails the use of pesticides which could do collateral damage to homes in particular and the environment in general.

What then is the best approach when a colony of bees settles into a home or within a homeowners property? One immediate measure is to immediately isolate the bees invaded area if possible, and leave the insects alone and ensure that they are not antagonized.

Then the homeowner or caretaker can call some professional beekeepers or commercial outfits specializing in bee rescue and removal. Many of these professional help are listed in the phone directory or maintain websites with their direct phone lines to facilitate easy and instant communication.

The ideal bee professional rescuers to call are those who employ natural techniques in their trade. They are those who may use non-toxic smoke but never pesticides as it has been mentioned earlier, bee extermination is not the solution. What these guys usually do is relocate the bees to a habitat more appropriate for these insects, such as a fruit orchard or forests away from human habitation. Of course, it would be virtually impossible for these bee rescuers to capture the bees one by one. These professionals in bee rescue usually trap the queen and some of her colony workers in a box with holes. The other members of the bee colony follow inside the box after some time and the whole gang is then moved to an area where they are unlikely to be a disturbance but a boon to humans.

Postal suspension lifted in Hamilton, New Zealand

Tuesday, January 30, 2007

The two-day postal delivery suspension placed on three streets in Hamilton, New Zealand has been lifted by New Zealand Post and the posties are back to work delivering mail.

The suspension of deliveries applied to Tennyson Road, Dryden Road, and Emerson Place, which are located in Fairfield. New Zealand Post came to the decision on Friday to put the ban in place because of recent gang violence/conflict. Along with the New Zealand Police, New Zealand Post reviewed the current situation, and also drove along the streets, they came to the conclusion that the situation has now “cooled down,” according to New Zealand Post spokesperson, Fiona Mayo and postal delivery general manger, Matthew Nant.

The residents on those streets came out to greet the postie, who was accompanied by business leader Brendon Coker, as she delivered the residents mail. Martha Rollo, Tennyson Road resident for 13-years, said that she was thrilled that her mail was once again being delivered after the “senseless” gang violence had temporarily stopped post. “Why should the rest of the locals suffer because of the gangs. We don’t need this hassle.” Ms Rollo said that the gang activity has only recently happened.

Vicky Roughan and Kevin Roughan, 12-year residents of Dryden Road, said that the post suspension, vandalism, and gang activity has been a problem for them. Mr Roughan claims that children from the age of nine and up are drinking late at night. “You don’t know what the hell’s going to happen.”

Mr Nant has apologised to the affected, inconvenienced residents.

New Zealand Post state they are going to continue to monitor the situation, however and also have on-going discussion with the local council and police “to make sure we’re abreast of any developments in the area.”

The gang violence/activity New Zealand Post are referring to is, on the previous Thursday the Armed Offenders Squad was called out where they raided three homes following a shooting, eight people were arrested, and a large number of firearms were seized.

Despite post not being delivered, newspapers were still being delivered, waste collection was still happening, and electricity meter readers were also going around house to house, checking the meters.

M?ori Party co-leader, Doctor Pita Sharples, has said that gangs are again starting to imping on on society like in the 1970s. He says we should include gangs into society, instead of disrupting them.

Wikinews previously reported on a letterbox for sale on New Zealand internet auction site, TradeMe, which has now reached a bid of $26.03 by Eliz “polysstew”.

Scams Of Online Car Loans You Should Be Aware Of

By Canada’s Car Loans

With banks increasing their web presence to reach the most elusive of their clientage it has become very easy to obtain online car loans. Not only are they hassle free and don’t require a lot of frustration on your part but for a rational borrower it is imperative that he should be aware of possible scams that are online.

One of the benefits of the online car loans is that you have access to an array of websites that you can easily compare and evaluate. But nevertheless a prospective buyer can get ensnared by some of the scams online and it is helpful if they know some common features of these scams to effectively reduce the chances of getting into a fraudulent loan scheme.

1. The Guaranteed Loans Scam

This is one of the oldest scams in the book. This scam may be old but is as effective as any and has resulted in many borrowers getting loans with highly inflated rates. This con makes people believe that their options have become limited and their salvation lies only in these loans. Always verify the details and conditions of online car loans that have sweeping generalized statements.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHTMuHvmarU[/youtube]

2. The Up-Front Fees Scam

This is another famous online car loans scam where you are asked to deposit the fees up front. Sadly many people pay this money without the lender ever dispatching the loans. It is true that a lender can ask you for an application fee when you are applying but never pay actual installment before your application has been approved or you are sure about the authenticity of the operations of the bank.

3. The Low-Credit Score Scam

This is the car loan where the lender will tell its gullible borrowers that their credit score is more damaged than what they perceive it is. This means that they can offer you loans with higher interest payment. You will not object but in fact will be grateful to the lender. This makes it imperative that you check your credit reports or have them checked by an independent third party.

4. The Required Co-Signer Scam

Another unique scam is the one in which the lender will ask you to get a cosigner. You can only improve your credit rating if the loan is on your name and you make the payments on time. This means when you have a cosigner these lenders will issue loans in their name hence leaving your credit rating undeterred. Try to get your online car loans always in your and the cosigner name unless you have bad credit already.

5. The Changing the Terms Scam

As the name suggests this scam works when you are facing a situation with all the terms and clauses of the contract of the online car loans changed. What actually happens is that once you get your loan approved and may even get a car, you will be notified by your lender that since your credit rating is considerably low you will have to agree to new terms and conditions. These conditions will be harsh with more strict conditions. The best remedy for this scam is to return the car as soon as possible and try to find another lender.

Early morning fire kills four New York group home residents

Sunday, March 22, 2009

After an early morning fire began, four out of the nine people living at the Riverview Individual Residential Alternative group home located in Wells, New York were killed by the blaze. The Sunmount Developmental Disabilities Services Office, which supervises the home, told the media that the fire started at approximately 5:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time. Two staff members were at the home at the time, who safely evacuated four of the five survivors.

The names of the residents killed in the fire were not able to be released due to New York’s Mental Hygiene Law, but are able to be identified as two adult men, aged 32 and 52, and two adult women, aged 43 and 60. A 71-year-old male was injured in the fire, and was taken to a hospital in Utica, a nearby city. The other four residents have been relocated to an unnamed group home. Both staff members are also being examined at the hospital.

“On behalf of all New Yorkers, I wish to extend my heartfelt condolences to the families, loved ones and friends of the four victims and to continue to pray for the full recovery of those five people and two staff members who survived this incident. I also want to express my thanks and appreciation for the first responders and volunteers who worked swiftly and diligently to respond to this tragedy,” David Patterson, the governor of New York, said to the media.

The exact cause of the fire has yet to be determined. However, the New York Civil Liberties Union stated that “the blaze appears to have been an electrical fire and the sprinkler system was knocked out immediately.” They also called for “an immediate investigation into the causes of and contributing factors of the fire.”

The New York State Department of State Office of Fire Prevention and Control is currently investigating the causes of the blaze, with help from New York State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the New York State Commission on Quality of Care and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities.

Wikinews interviews U.S. Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney

Friday, March 7, 2008

Wikinews held an exclusive interview with Cynthia McKinney, one of the candidates for the Green Party nomination for the 2008 U.S. presidential election.

McKinney is a former Democratic Congresswoman from Georgia. She was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1992 and held her seat for ten years until being defeated by Denise Majette in 2002. She was the first ever African American woman from her state to be elected to Congress.

We asked her why she made the recent switch to the Green Party. She replied, “Due to the importance of environmental issues, Green issues are the issues of today. The Ten Key Values ofthe Green Party stress us getting along with each other in harmony with the planet that gives us life.”

When asked about how she would handle Iraq she replied, “I would instruct the Joint Chiefs to draw up a plan for the orderly withdrawal of all U.S. troops from the country. I would dismantle our military bases in the area, and I would also demand that U.S. andother international corporations relinquish any claims to Iraqi oil orother resources and withdraw as well.”

McKinney is running for president because, basically, she thinks that “it’s time that the people win”.
