Update.md

To re-run the Hansard parser to attempt to pick up old files which may have been skipped previously:

[if in the UK, change your DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (i.e. Google) to get a more stable connection]

Delete old sources from the database which refer to the old parliament.go.ke site:

    # check to see whether there are any and how many
    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM hansard_source WHERE last_processing_success IS NULL AND url LIKE '%/plone/%';

delete matching sittings
