County Donegal, Ireland crash kills one, injures two

Wednesday, June 12, 2013

A two-vehicle road traffic accident in County Donegal in Ireland has left one person dead and injured two others. The accident occurred when a camper van collided with an oncoming car on the N15 road between the towns of Ballybofey and Donegal at approximately 1540 BST (1440 UTC) on Monday.

The fatality was reportedly a man in his 70s from the town of Lifford; he has not yet been publicly identified. He was taken to Letterkenny General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The female passenger he was travelling in the car with, thought to be the wife of the man, was taken to the same hospital after suffering serious injuries.

The man and woman in the camper van were transported to Sligo Regional Hospital. The condition of the two occupants is not clear, although the woman in the vehicle reportedly injured her leg in the accident.

The road where the crash occurred was closed to allow the Garda to investigate the incident.

Real Vs. Artificial Leather: Pros And Cons

Find Out More About:

By Jessica Ackerman

If you are in the market for a new piece of furniture, leather is always an option that should be considered. If the steep price of real leather turns you off, there are artificial leather furniture pieces that can be considered. When you are attempting to decide which will work better for your home, it is important to weigh all of the pros and cons for each material. Use the guide below to help you with your decision making.

Real Leather

There is nothing like the look, feel and smell of real leather. Its soft, supple texture is renowned for providing sophistication and comfort to any piece of furniture. Unlike other materials, leather has a unique appeal that adds a certain look to a room that cannot be duplicated exactly by any other material, including artificial leather. The smell of leather is also something to consider; it has a distinct smell that identifies it clearly as leather.

While the decorating benefits of real leather are attractive, there are some disadvantages to consider:

Natural acids and oils on the body can damage the leather surface itself. It can cause discoloration and can actually make the leather break down. When you have invested thousands of dollars in a leather sofa, the last thing that you want to have happen is for it to become discolored. Real leather also tends to dry out and requires more care than its artificial counterpart. If you can commit to properly caring for a leather sofa or chair, there is nothing like the feel and texture of the fabric. However, if your family’s lifestyle is rough and tumble and the consistency of care cannot be guaranteed, real leather may not be the ideal choice for you.

Artificial Leather

Available in a wide range of colors, artificial leather is an excellent choice for providing some of the look and feel of leather without the high price tag. While it does not look or feel exactly like the real product itself, artificial leather has a soft quality to it that is also appealing. One of the major benefits of artificial leather is its durability. It is much more tolerant of wear than real leather. It takes less care and is less likely to dry out and crack as real leather furniture can. This is especially good news for those with busy families and young children, as it is a much more durable alternative to real leather, but with a very similar look.

The drawback to artificial leather is that it is artificial. Some decorators and homeowners want only the real product in their room’s designs. It does not have the unique smell of real leather; and while it is a soft fabric, the texture is very different from real leather. If you can overlook the slight textural differences and embrace the lower price tag and variety of colors, artificial leather may be the answer to your decorating needs.

No matter which fabric you choose, real or artificial leather, the look of the room will change dramatically. Leather, whether it is real or artificial, creates a more sophisticated and mature look to any room. It is perfect for a men’s retreat room, a formal living room and a family room, as well. Choose the fabric that is going to work best for your family’s needs and your budget.

This is why you need to ensure that each claim has is in the court papers. This is where your Bankruptcy Attorney in St. Charles MO can be invaluable to help you understand exactly what you can and cannot declare.

Debtors have the right to come to court and fight bankruptcy. So a lawyer is a necessary expense of the process. For more information contact Van Dillen and Flood today.

Australian government to tackle banks on mortgages

Sunday, January 13, 2008

In response to higher than expected mortgage rate increases last week, Australian treasurer Wayne Swan flagged changes to banking regulations to increase competition between lenders on home mortgages.

Swan announced yesterday he had sought a Treasury report on the banking sector ahead of talks over the next fortnight on reforms to make it easier for bank customers to move mortgages between lenders by forcing banks to reduce exit fees, to “make the market more competitive”.

“Everybody knows we’ve been impacted upon by the U.S. sub-prime mortgage crisis that has pushed up the cost of money,” Swan said.

“But, as I said last week, some of the increases we saw by the banks were not justified. In my view, they were excessive. I urge people to vote with their feet. If there are obstacles to people voting with their feet, switching their accounts, we’ll have a look at those.”

The banking industry, however, insists that loan refinancing is not a complicated process currently, according to the head of the Australian Bankers Association (ABA), David Bell. “There is a competitive marketplace for home loans and the Cannex website shows the many products that are available,” said Bell. “Regarding the switching of transaction accounts, the Australian Payments Clearing Association is conducting a community consultation process on this issue. ABA member banks support this process.”

Hurricane Bill now a Category 4 storm

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

Following a period of steady intensification, Hurricane Bill is now a Category 4 major hurricane, as defined by the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.

Bill formed on August 12 and became the 2009 season’s first hurricane on August 17. For the past few days, the storm has been moving toward the west-northwest, but that is expected to change later this week as it turns more toward the north. After that, its track is uncertain, though National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecasters believe the hurricane will pass between Bermuda and the United States.

As of 11 a.m. AST August 19 (0900 UTC August 19), Hurricane Bill was located within 15 nautical miles of 18.0°N 54.9°W, about 460 mi (740 km) east of the Leeward Islands. Maximum sustained winds were near 115 knots (135 mph, 215 km/h), with stronger gusts. Forecasters estimate the storm’s minimum barometric pressure at 950 millibars.

Bermuda could be under the most significant threat from Bill, and officials there have been monitoring the storm’s progress. Derrick Binns, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Labour, Home Affairs and Housing, reported that “We have been following the storm closely since its inception, and today we reviewed our planning and procedures to ensure all are in sync. While we have not as yet issued hurricane warnings, I think it is important to advise residents to check their emergency kits to be sure supplies are adequate.”

	…[it is] almost inevitable that the storm will find some part of Eastern Canada. Whether that’s the marine areas or the land district, it’s still too far to say.

Bill is expected to spare the United States from any significant impact, but forecasters advise that since the storm is still several days away, nothing is certain. Indeed, residents of Long Island, New York are keeping a close eye on the cyclone’s progress.

Forecasters also warn that Bill could target parts of eastern Canada. Residents of Nova Scotia, mindful of the extensive damage from Hurricane Juan several years prior, are beginning to take precautionary measures.

Regardless of its exact track, Bill will likely generate rough surf and dangerous rip tides along the coast of the U.S. and Canada.

Tropical cyclones are known to be unpredictable, so interests in the regions potentially in Bill’s path are urged to track the storm’s progress over coming days and review emergency plans.

Ways Funeral Directors In Middletown Can Help Survivors Handle Arrangements For A Loved One Who Has Recently Passed

byAlma Abell

After a loved one passes, it can be a very emotional and difficult time for those they leave behind. Unfortunately, those who the deceased person was closest to are generally the ones who must begin planning the burial, cremation and funeral for their loved one. While many times a person may have left detailed instructions on how they want their remains to be handled, often they have not and this means the loved one will be responsible for making these types of decisions as well. This can be a lot for a person who is grieving to handle and often speaking to Funeral Directors in Middletown can be beneficial in helping them to get through this process.

In most cases, planning a burial or cremation will involve a number of choices and decisions to be made. Often just making these types of decisions during such an emotional time can be overwhelming for the survivors. By having a professional who not only understands the process but also what the survivors are going through, it can be much easier for everyone to handle.

Funeral Directors in Middletown will know what types of arrangements need to be made for the body and any services being planned. They can help by guiding the survivors charged with making the arrangements through the various steps in the process. From obtaining the body from the morgue or other facility to preparing it for a funeral or cremation, a funeral director will know what needs to be done and will handle it quickly and efficiently.

Once the decisions about burial or cremation have been made, a funeral director from a business, like John P. Condon Funeral Home, will be able to help the family in choosing the casket or urn for the remains. They can also make sure the family has a burial plot or other type of arrangements if necessary.

The funeral directors are generally also helpful in setting up a service at a chapel or other type of facility as well. Most funeral homes offer these types of facilities for use during the wake, funeral or memorial service. While the family can set these types of services up to reflect their personal needs, the funeral home will often be on hand to help in guiding them through the various options available and can often provide music, a speaker or other services as needed as well.

New Zealand’s new small change

Monday, July 31, 2006

Today New Zealand’s new coins have been released. The new coins replace the 10, 20 and 50 cent coins, while the 5-cent coin is being removed from circulation for good.

The new coins retain the same design as before but the 10-cent coin is now copper coloured. All coins except the 10-cent are now made from plated steel and nickel, making them lighter and cheaper to produce. The 10-cent coin is made from plated steel and copper.

Brian Lang, Reserve Bank of New Zealand Currency Manager, said: “The introduction of smaller, lighter coins is one of New Zealand’s biggest currency changes since the introduction of decimal currency on 10 July 1967.”

The Reserve Bank reports that they have issued 1,037 million coins since the introduction of decimal currency.

However, people can still use their old change between now and 1 November 2006, when the old coins will cease being legal tender.

A survey conducted by ACNielsen, on behalf of the Reserve Bank, in January 2004 shows that 51% liked the idea of the new coins initially.

The ANZ Bank are asking for people to donate their old 5-cent coins to Plunket in their ‘5s for under fives’ appeal.
