Three die in Cornwall, UK caravan park of suspected carbon monoxide poisoning

Carbon monoxide poisoning is thought to have been the cause of the deaths of three people and one Jack Russell dog in a caravan park in Cornwall in South West England. Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) were alerted to the incident in Tremarle Home Park in the town of Camborne at 12:56 UTC on Saturday.

	We have seen a big increase in the number of carbon monoxide incidents in Cornwall over recent years

Inspector David Eldridge said Devon and Cornwall Police were alerted to the caravan park incident after “a helper had been unable to get a reply from an elderly couple who lived in the caravan”. He said that upon their arrival, “We were able to see that there was a figure sat in a chair but they were unresponsive to knocks at the door.” CFRS workers called to the area “forced entry into the property and found that the three occupants were all dead”, Inspector Eldridge said. A hazardous material advisor was also present at the scene in North Roskear. The Health and Safety Executive is now investigating the incident but the deaths are not considered as being of a suspicious nature.

The three fatalities have been identified as Audrey Cook, aged 86, her husband Alfred, aged 90, and Maureen, their 46-year-old daughter. David Biggs, a member of Camborne Town Council, said the incident came as “a shock” to him; Tremarle Home Park is “a well established facility and is very well run”, according to him. Biggs described the loss of three lives as an “appalling tragedy”.

The incident came five days after Cornwall Council announced its Family Placement Service would launch a joint venture with Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service to place carbon monoxide detectors in the houses of foster carers. The programme, entitled ‘Be Gas Safe’, has seen 200 carbon monoxide detectors and 2000 leaflets to raise awareness about carbon monoxide being given to CFRS. Mark Blatchford, Group Manager of CFRS, said: “We have seen a big increase in the number of carbon monoxide incidents in Cornwall over recent years”. He described carbon monoxide detectors as being “as important as a smoke alarm as it provides a valuable early warning”.

Carbon monoxide is a poisonous, colourless, tasteless and odourless gas which is created when such carbon-based fuels as oil, gas, coal and wood are not completely incinerated. The human body’s capacity to hold oxygen in the blood can be reduced by inhalation of the gas, which in turn may cause death. The Gas Safe Register has said dizziness, headaches, queasiness, lack of ability to breathe, fainting and losing consciousness are all symptoms of a person experiencing carbon monoxide poisoning.

This is Transport for London’s first Anti-Social Behaviour Order against a graffiti vandal — TfL was granted the power to apply for Asbos by the Home Secretary in September 2006.

The Anti-Social Behaviour Order was issued at Greenwich Magistrates Court on 12 September and also bans him from carrying any permanent marker pens or any glass cutting equipment on London Underground, railway property or any other transport provider’s property.

Metropolitan and Transport police have been made aware of Murrell’s Asbo, and have distributed his photo.

Hurricane-force winds kill 15 people as storm hits Europe

Sunday, January 25, 2009

As a storm swept across parts of France and Spain on Saturday and Sunday, it left 15 people dead. Its winds were recorded up to 190km/h (118 mph), which are hurricane-force winds.

The storm made landfall near to Bordeaux, France at 5:00 am Central European Time on Saturday the 24th January. It traveled south-eastwards towards the south-east coast of France throughout Saturday morning, finally reaching there at 1:00 pm. It is expected to head north-eastwards over Italy and the Adriatic Sea, but without causing damage. Low pressure systems are fairly common in Europe at this time of year. Some reports have called it the storm of the decade; BBC meteorologist Alex Deakin said “Saturday’s storm is being described as the most damaging since that of December 1999 which killed 88 people.”

Four children aged between 9 and 12 died at a sports hall in Sant Boi de Llobregat, near Barcelona. The children intended on playing baseball, but sought shelter inside a covered area made of concrete with a corrugated iron roof. The structure collapsed, as a result of the wind. Local people and fire-fighters were at the scene in aiding children to escape the rubble. Three children died at the scene, a fourth died in hospital and 16 have been treated for injuries.

Other fatalities include a woman, who died after a wall collapsed and a man struck by a falling tree in the Barcelona area. In Landes, south-west France, a falling tree struck a driver; a 78-year-old man was hit by debris and another man, aged 75, was crushed by a tree. A wall crushed a man in Aigues de Busot in the south-east of Spain. A policeman was struck by a falling tree as he directed traffic in Burela and a sailor from a cargo ship died when the vessel got into trouble off the coast of Galicia. In Burgos, Spain, a woman was crushed by a door.

Approximately 1.7 million homes in France and tens of thousands of homes in Spain experienced power cuts. A woman, aged 73, died in France after a power-outage stopped her breathing machine. Road and rail links were blocked and airports closed. Airports in Bordeaux, Biarritz, Pau and Toulouse were shut, as well as train services, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded overnight.

Michèle Alliot-Marie, the French interior minister, stated that in addition to the 300 civil security agents located in the Landes region of France, another 715 agents would be deployed. She also expressed her intent to fly there today, after the high winds have decreased. French President Nicolas Sarkozy told reporters he would travel to the affected area tomorrow. In Bordeaux’s Gironde region, 19 residents of a retirement home were evacuated by rescuers following its rooftop being blown away. Authorities have also evacuated campers from the pine forests in Landes.

Thousands were evacuated from nearby housing estates in La Nucía, north of Benidorm in Alicante, as the Spanish Army helped to fight a forest fire, which was started by a felled electricity pylon. There were also forest fires in the region of Catalonia, while Spain put emergency services on high alert. Waves over 20 metres high were registered off the northern coast of Spain and dolphins were stranded on beaches in the region as a result of high winds.

Learning Interior Design

Posted on March 31, 2018March 31, 2018 by

Here’s An Opinion On:

Submitted by: Adam Peters

Your ability, enthusiasm to learn, creativity and exposure are different factors that make learning interior designing a simple or difficult task. This article helps us understand the basic elements of interior designing that would aid us to further research them completely to enhance your perspective and ability in the world of interior design. Let us start with suggestions on starting with the research. A good starting point for these newbie interior designs can be shows on televisions that are specific to books, subject, magazines and other professionals on interior designs and so on. The other source that doesn t have any limits in exposure and for no cost except for the time is your eye. Eyes are excellent tools for learning and understanding interior design and also for applying it successfully. Eyes become a terrific resource as eyes are similar to ears in the symphony of interior design. Eyes have the potential to look at any design element and transfer the information to the brain considering all the colors present in the design, layout, and textures and if the overall look is pleasing. Mastering the potential to look at a specific scenario or setting and explore the key elements involved in its success visually, you are still huge steps ahead in the learning journey of interior design.

Get an example of a design that has a pleasing appeal to your eye. Such designs can be found in magazine, book or even in our day-to-day life. When you close and open your eyes, the first thing or item you look at would be considered as your focal point. In magazines or televisions discussions, it is wrongly referred that the focal point is already appointed which is not true. For one, the view of a room might give a distinct thought and for others, they might stare at the fire mantle for their warmth and being a secure place and for different people their focus point would change accordingly. The point of focus in a room is that area of the room which attracts your attention on getting into the room and other placement activities happen on the area of the focal point. Lot of strategic planning is based on this focal point when we plan for a creative layout for the room. Hence, understanding the importance of the focal points is instrumental in interior design learning.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJs5wcGpDWg[/youtube]

Certain structural and architectural parts of the room need more attention in comparison with others. This is one reason which makes people understand incorrectly the focal points concept. In the process of learning and understanding interior design, you also understand how important it is to balance the architectural focal point understanding and the living ones. Some people do naturally elevate towards various objects and activities in the room. Human element and basic understanding are both the key element for success in interior design.

After you have go the basic to a medium level of understanding of the various focal points and the items placement around these places, the other important aspect of learning interior design is representing the objects visually. Shape, texture and color are the basics of this category. Color is the way the light reflects off when you see an object on to your eyes. How do you feel the object visually is texture. The fundamental makeup of the object that is reflected visually is Shape. Right combination of these features would result in harmonious environment visually. The few terms that we need acquaint ourselves as a process of interior design are listed further. First terms that pops up in your mind is Gaudy is a room or space with colors represented boldly, an excess usage of textures and overuse of untraditional and modern shape are all the reasons that would cover this title. The term Simple is used to refer the use of neutral and light scheme of colors along with little interruptions of straight line and light textures. The basic element for a successful design mix would be the term Simple . Start in a simple manner and build it to match your level of comfort complexities. This part of interior design wouldn t flow as naturally as other when you start learning interior design. It s very likely that it would be more understanding that one will develop along with the time and kind of exposure he get to various aspects of interior design.

Ultimately, the path of interior design learning is covered with visual perspective and information which would open your mind and eyes to a complete different world. The other key to understand the world better is observation. Don t close your eyes and start the adventure.

Building collapse in Barbados traps family

Posted on March 31, 2018March 31, 2018 by

Sunday, August 26, 2007Miami Dade Fire Rescue, Urban Search and Rescue Florida Task Force 1 Members were on the scene since last night. Search dogs worked the scene all night.

According to current reports, sometime early this morning, an apartment building in Brittons Hill, Barbados fell into a cave below.

Five family members are known to be trapped in the collapse, although reports have not be made as to whether these are the only individuals involved. Rescue workers, as well as several prominent politicians are currently on the scene; two cranes have been deployed to remove debris. Evacuation has occurred, with an extension of this area being discussed.

Miami Dade Police arrived on the scene late Sunday night and are now in a joint effort with the Barbados Defence Force, Barbados Fire Service and Royal Barbados Police Force to rescue possible survivors. Prime Minister Owen Arthur also stated that surveys are currently being conducted to determine the stability of the surrounding area, and only after these reports have been compiled will residents know whether they will be able to return to their homes.

A cadaver dog was sent into the cavern and has identified two areas where there are possible dead bodies. Sadly it is no longer a rescue mission but recovery one.
