Austrian police find dozens dead inside lorry

   Posted by: Admin   in Uncategorized

Thursday, August 27, 2015

Austrian police today found an estimated 20–50 decomposing corpses in an apparently abandoned lorry.

Roadworkers who spotted the vehicle, which had been there since yesterday at least, alerted police. Responding officers found it full of corpses. The lorry is on the so-called “Eastern Motorway”, the A4, close to the Hungarian border. It was on the hard shoulder between Neusiedl and Parndorf, closer to Parndorf.

The victims are thought to have suffocated. Police are seeking the driver. The Krone published an image of a non-articulated food lorry on the hard shoulder, which they report is the vehicle in question. The photo shows a pool of dark liquid on the ground beside the vehicle.

Video from a passing motorist shows at least one helicopter on-scene. The truck, which has pictures of meat on the side, shows branding for Slovakian food firm Hyza. Earlier today the company’s website sported an apparent anti-immigration graphic, which has since been removed.

Wikinews got in touch with Hyza. “We are truly sorry about [the] tragedy” they told us in a statement. They said they have checked GPS trackers on their fleet and all their vehicles remain in Slovakia. The statement says the lorry in question was one of 21 Hyza vehicles sold on last year. It was then sold again and exported to Hungary, where it is now registered. Hyza told us the new owners have not changed the branding on the vehicle. According to the Bild newspaper, Agrofert — the parent company of Hyza — said in a statement the new owners were required to do so.

Hyza says they will “actively cooperate with Slovak police”, and “express [their] sincere condolences to the bereaved families.”

Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner called it “a dark day” and called for European Union-wide measures to protect immigrant refugees and tackle human traffickers. Neighbouring Hungary is constructing a border fence across its entire frontier with Serbia. Yesterday alone saw a record 3,241 attempts to enter Hungary illegally, according to authorities there.

Conflict in Syria and other parts of the world has led refugees to Europe. Once inside, they can move freely inside the Schengen Area, which covers most of the EU.

Austrian police earlier this week arrested three motorists suspected of people smuggling. One driver is accused of moving 34 people, ten of them children, into Austria from Serbia. The group were left by the roadside near Bruck an der Leitha and reported struggling to breathe in the van.

Rachel Weisz wants Botox ban for actors

   Posted by: Admin   in Uncategorized

Tuesday, July 7, 2009

English actress Rachel Weisz thinks that Botox injections should be banned for all actors.

The 39-year-old actress, best known for her roles in the Mummy movie franchise and for her Academy Award-winning portrayal in The Constant Gardener, feels facial Botox injections leave actors less able to convey emotion and that it harms the acting industry as much as steroids harm athletes.

In an interview with UK’s Harper’s Bazaar, coming out next month, Weisz says, “It should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen,” she claims. “Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?”

Currently living in New York, she also mentions that English women are much less worried about their physical appearance than in the United States. “I love the way girls in London dress,” she claimed. “It’s so different to the American ‘blow-dry and immaculate grooming’ thing.”

Study How to Invest long term for your childrens benefit

by

Erick FeskeyThe main aim of anyone is to program his future, and this is why long term investments deserve so much importance. If you choose the perfect investment plan, it would signify that when you retire, you will still have the financial freedom that you wished for while investing for a long period. Long-term investments also work as a security at a time when you don’t have a fixed income any longer and can take care of your health, which is certainly not going to be as good as the time you started investing. Therefore planning for a long-term investment is similar to planning your future.So, how do we start about investing for a long period? There are certain doubts that will surface before investing: What should be the best long-term investment plan? Should one ask for the external help from a financial consultant or go ahead alone? This article provides you an insight to the long-term investment market.1.Proper goal setting: This is similar to other investing types. One should always set reachable goals about the future and then plan the investments according to the plan. A few questions must be properly addressed before going ahead with the investments. One should be sure of the total time-period of the investment, and the amount he/she expects at the end of the investment period. He/She should also calculate the amount to be invested now, and the monthly premium that is to be submitted to reach to the goal. Once, the above questions are addressed, it is time to move forward and decide whether a financial advisor is needed or not.2.Choosing the right options: The investor should bear in mind that it is their hard earned money that they are investing, and a wrong decision will ruin the future. Hence, decisions regarding long-term investment should be made after due consultations with concerned people, and after being confident about the firm to which the investment is made. If the assistance of a financial advisor is sought, it should be made sure that they work along with you and under no circumstances should you feel that the money is not under your control.3.Regular Follow-up of the investment: Long-term investments require patience and perseverance. In spite of the long period, you should never become too casual about the matter, and try to be follow up with the latest happenings in the market. In some cases, the company that you have invested in may fall in a crisis. In those testing times, only the alert would be able to judge the situation and make the necessary changes, if any. Hence, ignorance cannot be encouraged in the long-term investment market too!

Cadillac unveils Obama’s ‘Beast’, the 2009 Presidential State Car

   Posted by: Admin   in Uncategorized

Saturday, January 17, 2009

The US Secret Service has released the first photos Wednesday of the new presidential limousine that will transport Barack Obama down Pennsylvania Avenue next Tuesday as part of the 56th Presidential inaugural parade after he is sworn in at the Capitol. The First Limo – the 2009 Cadillac Presidential Limousine – will replace President Bush’s Cadillac DTS Presidential Limousine that rolled out in 2004.

Nicknamed “The Beast”, the hulking machine is a new model year 2009, modified limousine. According to General Motors, the new “2009 Cadillac Presidential Limousine” is the first not to carry a specific model name. The Obama Mobile was introduced on January 14 with noticeably different styling borrowed from the Cadillac Escalade and STS, while the suspension is most likely related to the Chevrolet Kodiak medium-duty truck.

Mr. David Caldwell of General Motors has revealed that the sleek black car would include a hand-crafted interior and “state of the art electronics.” The car’s high-tech security features include five-inch-thick (12.7-centimeter-thick) bombproof glass, tough-as-nails tires, and a sealed interior that’s invulnerable to chemical attack. The armoured limousine has been heavily modified to withstand potential attacks by weapons or bombs. The San Francisco Chronicle puts it in a proper perspective noting, “a half-inch of transparent armor is enough to stop a .44 Magnum round at point-blank range; at a thickness of 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inches, the same material can withstand higher-velocity bullets fired from military assault rifles.”

According to spy photographer, Brenda Priddy, and General Motors, the limousine, which has the intricate, dual-textured grille, is also equipped with standard Goodyear Regional RHS truck tires in a 285/70R19.5 size, on 19.5-inch wheels. The rims have a run-flat device (manufactured by Hutchinson Industries). Xenon headlights from the Escalade are installed in the front, while the rear has some STS part. The doors are at least 20 centimeters (8 inches) thick. It carries the US flag on the front fenders and an embroidered Seal of the President of the United States is affixed to several panels in the back.

According to the US Secret Service, the vehicle would be a “valuable asset” in providing the President with the highest level of protection. “Although many of the vehicle’s security enhancements cannot be discussed, it is safe to say that this car’s security and coded communications systems make it the most technologically advanced protection vehicle in the world,” Nicholas Trotta, Assistant Director for the Office of Protective Operations said in a statement. The new limousine is the responsibility of White House Transportation Agency.

One of the specifications is that we don’t talk about the specifications.

The Presidential State Car is the official state car used by the President of the United States. It is informally known as “Cadillac One”. The current Presidential State Car is a 2005 hand-crafted, armored, and stretched DTS (DeVille Touring Sedan) built on a GM four-wheel drive platform. It was first used on the second inauguration parade of George W. Bush in 2005. But the version to be used by President Obama uses a GMC Topkick chassis, while maintaining the Cadillac exterior.

The President of the United States travels in one of two armoured Cadillac limousines based upon the normal sedan, the Cadillac DTS, with heavy customisation. Lincoln cars have also been used in the past, most notably by President John F Kennedy. The current limousines were custom-built by O’Gara, Hess and Eisenhart, founded in Fairfield, Ohio in 1942. It specializes in armouring limousines for presidents and heads of state.

President William McKinley was the first US president to ride in an automobile. However, it was President Theodore Roosevelt who rode on the first government-owned car, a white Stanley Steamer. Roosevelt’s successor, William Howard Taft, was the first president to use a presidential state car that was permanently stored in the White House garage.

Meanwhile, Obama’s 2005 Chrysler 300C Hemi was auctioned on eBay with a starting bid of $100,000 and a buy-it-now price of $1,000,000. It has less than 21,000 miles on it and is in like-new condition. He leased the car in 2004 and traded it for a Ford Escape Hybrid in 2007. The car was sold to Tim O’Boyle.

Wikinews interviews Steve Burke, U.S. Democratic Party presidential candidate

   Posted by: Admin   in Uncategorized

Sunday, December 13, 2015

This article is a featured article. It is considered one of the best works of the Wikinews community. See Wikinews:Featured articles for more information.

Macomb, New York Councilman Steve Burke took some time to speak with Wikinews about his campaign for the U.S. Democratic Party’s 2016 presidential nomination.

Burke, an insurance adjuster and farmer, was elected councilman in Brookhaven, New York in 1979. He left the town after being accused and found not guilty of bribery in the 1980s. Since 1987 he has served as Macomb councilman off-and-on and currently holds the post. From 1993 to 1996 and 1999 to 2002 he worked as chairman of the Democratic Party of St. Lawrence County, New York. Among his many political campaigns, Burke unsuccessfully sought the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 1992 and recently attempted to run for U.S. Congress in 2014 but too many of his ballot petition signatures were found invalid. Burke filed with the Federal Election Commission to run for president in the 2016 election on September 18, 2015 and has qualified for the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire Primary.

With Wikinews reporter William S. Saturn?, Burke discusses his political background, his 2016 presidential campaign, and his policy proposals.

Victoria Wyndham on Another World and another life

   Posted by: Admin   in Uncategorized

Thursday, December 13, 2007

Victoria Wyndham was one of the most seasoned and accomplished actresses in daytime soap opera television. She played Rachel Cory, the maven of Another World‘s fictional town, Bay City, from 1972 to 1999 when the show went off the air. Wyndham talks about how she was seen as the anchor of a show, and the political infighting to keep it on the air as NBC wanted to wrest control of the long-running soap from Procter & Gamble. Wyndham fought to keep it on the air, but eventually succumbed to the inevitable. She discusses life on the soap opera, and the seven years she spent wandering “in the woods” of Los Angeles seeking direction, now divorced from a character who had come to define her professional career. Happy, healthy and with a family she is proud of, Wyndham has found life after the death of Another World in painting and animals. Below is David Shankbone’s interview with the soap diva.

Guide To Balcony Decoration

   Posted by: Admin   in Recruitment

By Brenda Walker

The balcony is an extension of the home, and it is the spot where you and your family lounge and read the latest bestseller, enjoy entertaining friends, and enjoy the great outdoors. It is a space that can be decorated according to the season or for any reason, and if you enjoy spending time on your balcony, you can make it an impressive space where friends and family will also love to spend time. The following steps will help you decorate your balcony and transform it into a place that makes entertaining friends and family a breeze.

Decide on a Theme, Season, Holiday or Design. The selected theme will determine the accessories that you use to decorate a balcony. In the spring and summer, adorn the balcony with eye-catching containers of flowers and foliage as well as other accessories that speak of the season. In the fall, it can be decorated with small bales of hay, pumpkins, and friendly scarecrows. In the winter, your outdoor space can be decorated with holiday or seasonal decor. A balcony can become a showplace that will change with every season and holiday. You should design your balcony according to your personal style and preference; it should become an area where you can show case your creativity and uniqueness.

Cleaning is the First Step. No matter the design and the way in which the balcony will be used, it is important to clean it before beginning to decorate. You must remove any items that are not necessary and thoroughly remove any dirt and debris. Prepare the vertical surfaces also, getting rid of dirt and webs before beginning to furnish and decorate your balcony. A clean area is much more inviting and comfortable.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLwvCM1BZes[/youtube]

Selecting Seating and Accessories that are Comfortable. The majority of people are more likely to enjoy sitting on the balcony if the balcony seating is adjustable for enhanced comfort. Before beginning to decorate your balcony, choose seating for the outdoors with care, and invest in furnishings that are like to be enjoyed instead of going for the options that are the cheapest. Also, choose side tables that are useful for holding food and drinks. Make certain that outdoor furnishings are something you will be proud to display on a balcony. With proper care, wood, metal, or wicker can last for many years and will enhance the overall appearance of your balcony.

Choose Larger Pieces First When Decorating. Once you have cleaned and outfitted the balcony with furniture, you can next proceed to decorate, using larger pieces first. For example, when setting up fall decor, place small bales of straw or hay in corners, and use them as platforms for displaying carved pumpkins, scarecrows, gourds, and any other fall decorations. Once larger items are in place, smaller items can be arranged and moved as needed.

Select Balcony Decor. It is unnecessary to browse the seasonal aisle of big box retailers or home improvement stores to locate just the perfect items to adorn your balcony. Come up with unique outside decor that includes items you have found at tag sales, decoys, and other items not generally used for decorating. Adorn your balcony with unique items and it will draw more interest from passersby. Best of all, you will be able to comfortably relax in an area outdoors that is uniquely stylish and well decorated.

Using Lighting to Decorate. Balconies are ideal for enjoying long days outdoors, and a balcony that is used quite often must have outdoor lighting. You might consider all-weather rope lighting to illuminate the balcony. This kind of decorative lighting can be found in many different colors and lengths, and this lighting can be extended or cut to fit all areas. Rope lighting looks attractive when added under a balcony railing or around the base. Indoor/Outdoor lights used to decorate during winter holidays are ideal for placing around outdoor displays, and they provide just the right amount of light on dark, spring, summer, fall, or winter nights. With a little bit of care, and some planning, you can create an inviting and ideal atmosphere on the balcony that will be a welcome sight at day’s end.

Toyota recalls 1.7m cars after new concerns

   Posted by: Admin   in Uncategorized

Wednesday, January 26, 2011

Car manufacturer Toyota is to recall almost 1.7 million cars in two simultaneous recalls, that include the Toyota Avensis and Lexus IS 250, after concerns over fuel systems, which, if combined, amount to the biggest Toyota recall for six years.

Japan’s transport ministry stated it was possible for slight cracks to appear in fuel pipes in Avensis models, which may widen if the cars continue to be used. In the United Kingdom, Toyota GB are offering free repairs, which are expected to take around four and a half hours each. The Lexus IS 250 is involved in a separate recall, with around 280 thousand models outside of Japan being recalled over a faulty fuel pressure sensor, which can possibly come loose, causing a fuel leak.

The Managing Director of Toyota GB stated “We are committed to putting the customer first and have a total focus on the quality of all our products. We will liaise with our customers to carry out the repair procedures as efficiently as possible, with minimal disruption”.

Toyota has recalled over 16 million cars globally since late 2009.
