Wikinews interviews former Republican U.S. Senator Bob Smith on his latest run for office

Posted on by Admin

Sunday, June 21, 2009

Earlier this month, former Republican U.S. Senator Bob Smith announced his candidacy for Florida’s open Senate seat in the 2010 midterm election. Smith, who was one of New Hampshire’s senators for two terms — which amounts to twelve years — said he is running for office in his recently adopted home state due to his disapproval of the direction in which America is headed. He is very optimistic about the conservative change he can potentially bring to Congress which is currently controlled by liberal-minded members of the Democratic Party.

Smith has, however, some major hurdles to overcome in the Republican primary. He is facing two well known politicians who have been elected to statewide office numerous times. The chief of these is current Governor Charlie Crist, a moderate-to-liberal who is currently leading in the polls. The second is former Speaker of the Florida House Marco Rubio, a center-right 38-year-old who has been criticizing Crist for months on the support he has shown for President Barack Obama’s controversial economic stimulus package.

Despite trailing both in recent polls, Smith believes that the polls themselves are irrelevant as the primary is over one year away. He is devoting the remainder of this summer to building up grassroots and financial support for his campaign.

Wikinews reporter Joseph Ford had the opportunity to speak with him about his run this past weekend.

“We must deliver a message that appeals to all members of the Republican Party, and that will appeal to Floridians in the general election,” Smith proclaimed. “I am in this race because I want to make my experience as a U.S. Senator available to my fellow Floridians.”

BBC Resources sale could be unprofitable

Posted on by Admin

Thursday, November 8, 2007

The sale of the BBC subsidiary BBC Resources Ltd., has hit a hurdle after it emerged that the BBC could be left with a loss of up to £15 million on the deal. The cost of transferring the pensions of BBC Resources staff from the BBC pension scheme to its new owners could be up to £50 million according to a Guardian Newspaper report.

Managers from the division will meet with union representatives from BECTU on Monday to discuss this and related sale issues. BECTU general secretary, Gerry Morrissey is quoted as saying: “If the BBC gets less than £50 million for BBC Resources then how can it fulfil [sic] its duty of care to licence fee payers?”

It is believed that the BBC had hoped that a surplus in its pension fund could be used to bridge the possible £50 million gap — but the trustees of the fund have said “no”. A BBC source said: “This is being discussed at the highest level”.

Since April 2004 members of the BBC pension scheme have seen their contributions into it increase regularly, the BBC — like many other employers — having reduced its contribution (to 4.5% of payroll) over a ten year period when the stock market was booming in the 1990s.

The Guardian is seen as a reliable source on BBC matters, having reported the proposed sale of BBC Television Centre back in January 2007, with the formal announcement finally being made by BBC Director General Mark Thompson on October 18, 2007.

The Resources business-to-business unit was formed in 1998 and operates television studios, post-production and outside broadcast facilities for it’s parent share-holding company, the BBC. It does not own any studios or premises, its assets being staff and equipment.

Advertised for sale on 16th August in the Financial Times, The Times and Broadcast and last year making profits of £5.2 million with a revenue of £126 million, the disposal — led by Ernst & Young — invited expressions of interest for the whole division or for each of its three operations separately. The BBC has yet to release the names of the short-listed companies.

BBC Resources was the first of the BBC’s commercial business-to-business divisions to be set up as a limited company and will be the last to be sold, the BBC having previously divested itself of BBC Technology and BBC Broadcast — BBC Worldwide, formerly BBC Enterprises, will remain in-house as it earns revenue from the archive, media and licensing of products — in the year to 31 March 2007 Worldwide had a turnover of £810.4 million, generating profits of £111 million.

The BBC wants to use any money raised to be put into international commercial expansion and content, most probably through Worldwide.

It had been intended to float Resources back in 2005, but this was postponed for two years following strike action and ACAS talks in June 2005 — the BBC giving an undertaking that there would be no preparations made to sell the company until January 2007, and no sale allowed before July of this year. The current time-scale would see its disposal by the end of the current financial year in March 2008.

How To Spot A Candida Symptom And What To Do About It?

How To Spot A Candida Symptom And What To Do About It?

Posted on by Admin

By Jane Symms

When a person suffers with a candida overgrowth, there is generally more than one candida symptom to look out for. An infection usually creates multiple symptoms, which may seem unrelated to a yeast infection, and this can make it harder for it to be diagnosed.

Candida normally resides in the moist and warm areas of the body, and an infection will generally occur in the mouth, vagina, nose or the respiratory system, although it can sometimes also attack the Gastrointestinal (GI) tract too.

The symptoms that are often associated with candida are:

1. Feeling drained and fatigued

2. Abdominal pain, bloating usually accompanied by diarrhea or constipation. This is mostly linked to the release of carbon dioxide and alcohol when the candida yeast ferments sugar.

3. There seems to often be an increased sensitivity to antigens, so that a person reacts to food and airborne particles that they would have previously not had a reaction to. This can cause inflammation, and effect other organs in the body.

4. There can be damage to the bowel wall, which may lead to “leaky gut”, which can cause additional toxins to be released into the bloodstream, as well as cause food intolerance and effect the bodies ability to absorb nutrients.

Also, candida has been shown to release a cocktail of dozens of toxins, that can have many different effects on the body and the major organ’s, including auto immune disorders, metabolic abnormalities and even psychological problems.

Other symptoms that can be a more obvious sign of candida infections include:

– Patches of skin that are irritated, and there may be evidence of white pustules

– Vaginal itching and a burning sensation and its often painful to have intercourse. There may also be a ‘white, thick, cheesy’ discharge and unusual menstrual cramping and pain.

– Urinary tract infections that keep reoccurring, even after treatment

– Feeling pain when urinating

– There may be visible mucus in the stool

– Difficulty swallowing

– Bleeding gums, a dry or cracked tongue and a dry mouth

– Heartburn, acid reflux and indigestion

– A loss of concentration, headaches, depression and sometimes mood swings and anxiety.

– There can also be swelling and pain in the joints

This is not a full and comprehensive list of symptoms, as others become apparent as infection progresses that are more severe.

Continue reading to discover how to sign up for the free relieving Candida newsletter, and find out how to identify and combat the signs and symptoms of a candida infection.

If you suspect that you have a candida infection then you should make an appointment to see a medical professional. Although, ensure that you have kept a close track of the symptoms you have been experiencing, as there are a number of other conditions that can cause many of the same symptoms of candida, and a wrong diagnosis can lead to a worsening infection.

No diagnosis can be made if only one candida symptom is considered on its own. The sufferer needs to be clear about all their symptoms to ensure an effective diagnosis.

Explosion in Turkey kills seventeen

Posted on by Admin

Saturday, August 2, 2008

Reuters, AFP, the Associated Press are reporting that a gas explosion in a Turkish school killed at least seventeen girls Friday.

Reuters reports the initial death toll at sixteen, with 27 injured. The number of deaths later rose to 17 when a body was removed from the rubble. Two survivors were pulled from the rubble as rescuers worked into the night. One girl is still missing.

“We won’t stop until we find her,” village mayor Mehmet Demirgul, told the Associated Press.

About fifty students and teachers were in the school, where some had gathered on for Islamic study in the three-story structure in the village of Balcilar, near Taskent in the Konya province .

Merve Avci, a 13-year-old, slightly injured student spoke to the Anatolian news agency: “I was in the part of the building which didn’t collapse with five of my friends immediately after the explosion, and we felt flames rising from the downstairs to upper floors.”

Anatolian says that Avci was in the process of washing before pre-dawn prayers, when a noise in the building’s kitchen led Avci and some teacher to investigate. She says she saw a loose gas pipe before being ordered back to her room. She says she smelled gas coming from somewhere above her room before the explosion.

“We think the collapse was caused by a gas canister explosion in the building, given the burns on the injured,” Konya province health service official Galip Sef told Reuters.

Mayor Demirgul said a leak in a pipe carrying liquefied petroleum gas is the probable cause of the pre-dawn blast.

“We are hearing voices. I believe those inside the rubble will be saved,” Demirgul told reporters, according to the Associated Press and Reuters.

The Associated Press reports that a small portion of all three stories of the building were left standing. This is confirmed by images displayed on the Reuters website.

The building is owned by a religion foundation and is under investigation when Turkish authorities found an non-approved annex to the structure, according to AFP.

The explosion is unrelated to the bomb blast in northern Turkey on July 28.

Astronomer tells Wikinews about discovery of closest black hole known so far

Posted on by Admin

Friday, May 22, 2020

A study published in journal Astronomy & Astrophysics last month reported astronomers from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and elsewhere discovered a black hole in the Telescopium constellation. The study stated the black hole is about 1010 ± 195 light years (310 ± 60 parsec) away from the Solar System, meaning it is the nearest known black hole from the Earth. The nearest previously known black hole — V616 Mon — the study noted was usually estimated at more than 3000 light years away.

The black hole described in the study is located in the HR 6819 stellar system of Telescopium constellation, making it the first system visible to the naked eye to contain a black hole. HR 6819 contains two stars, and they are visible from the Southern Hemisphere. The astronomers started observing the system in 1999. Initially, they thought it was just a binary system, consisting of two stars. However, upon examination, the researchers concluded there was a third unseen object in the system. One of the two stars in the HR 6819 system is close to the black hole and orbits the black hole in just 40.333 ± 0.004 days.

This newly discovered black hole does not have an accretion disk. A black hole forms an accretion disk when a significant amount of matter orbits the black hole, as depicted in the image. Accretion disks often emit electromagnetic radiation. Since this black hole does not have an accretion disk, researchers had to rely on the gravitational effect of the black hole on the nearby star in order to discover it.

Researchers used the binary mass function to conclude the black hole had a mass of at least 4.2 M? (Solar masses; 1 Solar mass = mass of the Sun). Its companion star, which orbits the black hole in about 40 days, is classified as a B3 III star. The outer star is classified as a Be star. Be stars rotate very quickly around their axes. Since the outer star rotates so rapidly, the star is not exactly spherical, but instead oblate, bulged at its equator, forming a gas disk around the equator.

The research suggested HR 6819 was very similar to another system LB-1. The HR 6819 system is estimated to be between 15–75 million years old (myr). The inner star has estimated mass of at least 6.3 ± 0.7 M?. Using the mass and the speed at which the inner star rotates, the researchers concluded the black hole had an estimated mass of 5.0 ± 0.4 M?. Researcher and co-author of the study Thomas Rivinius told Wikinews the inner star and the black hole are closer than the Sun and the Earth (1au; 150 million km; 93 million miles).

The researchers dedicated the paper to Stanislav Štefl, one of the fellow researchers who died in a car accident in 2014 in Santiago, Chile.

Wikinews caught up with Thomas Rivinius to discuss about this discovery.

Dermal Fillers Plump Sunken Facial Features}

Dermal Fillers Plump Sunken Facial Features}

Posted on by Admin

Submitted by: Abigail Aaronson

It’s no secret that as we age our faces tend to lose volume and skin elasticity weakens, leaving us with wrinkles, baggy eyes, and hollow cheeks. We’re also at the mercy of genetics, and some individuals may begin seeing these signs of ageing prematurely.

It isn’t pleasant to see a hollow, tired face staring back at you in the mirror every morning; fortunately, dermal fillers can help fill in sunken facial features, building up your face and confidence at the same time.

Sunken facial features are a result of a loss of facial fat. As we age, the face tends to lose collagen and fat that keeps us young and fresh-looking. The skin then sinks into the depressions created by this loss. This mostly happens in the cheek area, but the effects can be seen throughout the entire face.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK7Zkzz348M[/youtube]

Hollows beneath the cheeks can make you appear gaunt and tired. It also can contribute to the appearance of dark, sunken circles below the eyes. Traditional surgical procedures, such as facelifts or brow lifts, are often unable to address facial problems that develop in these areas. They also cannot help create volume where it is needed, but rather merely tighten any loose skin that is also a consequence of fat loss.

Dermal fillers can successfully build up sunken facial features, giving you a youthful, healthy glow once again. They are also less invasive than surgical procedures, have minimal recovery time, and often cost a fraction of the price.

There are many different types of dermal filler available on the market. Some are aimed at addressing only certain areas, while others can be used on a variety of features from the cheeks to the lips. A board-certified plastic surgeon can help you choose the proper filler and make recommendations.

The results of dermal filler treatments are generally temporary. The majority of products last between five and eight months; however, there are many new fillers that may have much longer lasting results, up to one or two years.

There are few risks and complications involved. The procedure is usually done in-office with no anesthesia. The surgeon will clean the area to be treated and inject a small amount of filler until even and smooth. Often it is necessary to over-inject the area initially due to the body reabsorbing some types of filler.

Afterwards, the area may appear a bit red or sore, but this will dissipate within hours. Patients can return to normal activity immediately. Possible, but rare side effects include bleeding, allergic reaction, and extended swelling or soreness.

You don’t have to wake up to a gaunt face every morning. Dermal fillers can bring back the vibrancy of youth for a small cost and minimal investment. With so many different types available today on the market, there is a good chance you can find one to suit your individual needs and aesthetic preferences. Be sure to choose a qualified and skilled cosmetic surgeon to administer any injections.

Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro injured in Preakness, does not finish race

Posted on by Admin

Saturday, May 20, 2006

Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, sent as the post-time odds-on favorite in this year’s Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland, breaks down in the opening stretch of the race, shattering any chance of a Triple Crown winner this year. Bernardini, the 12-1 4th choice out of 9, ends up winning this year’s Preakness, stopping the clock at 1:54.65. Following up 5 1/4 lengths behind was Sweetnorthernsaint, sent to the post at 8-1, and Hemingway’s Key at 29-1, six lengths further back.

According to Dr. Larry Bramlage, the on-call veterinarian for the American Association of Equine Practitioners, Barbaro’s injury was “significant” and “would require major stabilizing surgery.” Barbaro’s injury effectively ended the horse’s racing career.

Bernardini, a colt by A.P. Indy out of Cara Rafaela, by Quiet American, was bred and is owned by the Darley Stable of Sheikh Mohammed, is trained by Tom Albertrani, and was ridden to victory by Javier Castellano. Today’s Preakness marks the first Preakness win for jockey Javier Castellano, who previously rode Ghostzapper to a win in the 2004 Breeders’ Cup Classic. The Preakness was only Bernardini’s 4th career start.

Bernardini paid $27.80 on a $2 win bet. The $2 Exacta of Bernardini and Sweetnorthernsaint (8-7) paid $171.60, the $1 Trifecta with Hemingway’s Key in third (8-7-3) paid $1,956.40, and the $1 Superfecta with 2nd-favorite Brother Derek (8-7-3-6) paid $11,151.20.

Original Story
  • “Hotel development proposal could displace Buffalo, NY business owners” — Wikinews, February 17, 2006

Tuesday, November 21, 2006

Buffalo, New York —Buffalo, New York developers have been stymied by old real estate deeds.

The prospective Elmwood Village Hotel may be scuttled and businesses now located there may be forced to move.

Frustrations over property located in an area once known as “Granger Estates” circulate around a clause in the original deeds over land divided by then-owner Erastus Granger in the early 1800’s.

According to the documents, “no business establishment of any kind whatsoever” shall ever be constructed on the property, and they shall forever be exclusively for residential use only. Also prohibited are barns, farms and stables.

Sam Savarino, CEO of Savarino Companies, the prospective hotel developer, announced that his legal research team found the restrictions on properties located between 1109 and 1121 Elmwood Avenue which also stated in part that “no businesses, hospitality establishment of anykind whatsoever” shall ever be permitted to be built on the property.

Savarino, whom is expected to contest the restrictions, said that his company could have ignored the findings, but that, “we can’t risk the future of a multimillion-dollar project on the hope they wouldn’t be discovered. Our opponents would have had a field day if they’d surfaced after the fact.”

Savarino said his attorneys and researchers are anticipated to determine “exactly what weight the restrictions carry and if there’s a way for the courts to negate them.”

Existing businesses are also jeopardized.

Hans Mobius, owner of some of the restricted properties upon which a carriage house is built, said, he wasn’t aware of any restrictions, and “never had a reason to research the deed and title documents.” He confidently added that, “the lawyers can get this taken care of.”

Other threatened businesses include Don Apparel, H.O.D. Tattoo, Forest Plaza Art Gallery and Allentown Music.

Greek opposition party’s members vote for president

Posted on by Admin

Saturday, November 10, 2007

PASOK (Pan-Hellenic Socialist Movement) party members and voters will decide tomorrow for party’s president, in a wide election throughout Greece. Almost one million party members, voters and friends of PASOK will gather in selected ballot boxes in all the main cities of the country to vote for party’s leader, after the defeat of September 16, 2007, in the national elections.

The three candidates for PASOK’s presidency are the current president and president of the Socialist International George Papandreou, the MP and former Minister Dr. Evangelos Venizelos and the former Secretary of the party Kostas Skandalides. Until now, opinion polls show that Papandreou leads the presidential race with around 2%–6% difference from Venizelos, but political analysts remain unsure in their predictions about the result of the elections.

Yesterday, the candidates concluded their pre-election campaigns with public speeches in Athens, Thessaloniki and Kos respectively. Mr. Papandreou delivered a speech in Peristeri, west Athens while Mr. Venizelos organized a political fiesta with over 5,000 supporters of his, in his hometown Thessaloniki. Skandalides ended his campaign in his birthplace, the island of Kos.

PASOK, founded by the popular politician Andreas Papandreou in 1974, was in government from 1981 to 1989 and from 1993 to 2004, dominating most of the modern Greek politics. Last September, the party was defeated in the 2007 parliamentary elections from the conservative New Democracy. Since then criticism and challenge on George Papandreou’s leadership, by prominent members of PASOK such as Mr. Venizelos, has been increased
