A dead body was left in a ward in Stobhill Hospital, Glasgow, Scotland for seven hours before it was removed.

Christine Martin, who saw the body, said that although there were curtains around the body, they “were open sufficiently for me to see this man, whom we had got to know over a period of 10 days, lying dead, face uncovered.”

Officials from the hospital have apologized for having allowed the incident to occur. The son of the dead man said that the hospital acted with “utter compassion” when permitting his request to see his father’s dead body in the ward.

National Health Service Greater Glasgow and Clyde said in a statement that, “we have acknowledged to the Martins that, beyond this, there was some delay in the transfer of the patient to the mortuary and steps have already been taken to ensure that this does not happen again.”

The Royal College of Nursing also released a statement on this incident. “The normal practice if someone has died in a four-bedded ward is to access a single room where the deceased could be viewed by the family and the family can have some time with the relative, and for that to be done in as dignified manner as possible,” said Lynn McDowall, a professional officer for the organization. “This case highlights the campaign we’re running and highlights the kind of problems nurses come across, because no nurse would want a deceased patient lying on a ward for seven hours.”

Moving to a new location can be a stressful experience if the job is done in an unorganized manner. Whether a person is moving all of his belongings or just a few pieces of furniture, relocating will be simpler and even exciting when done in a systematic way. Hiring professional movers will make this task easier and more efficient. There are a few practical guidelines to follow when hiring movers.

Hiring Movers in Wilmington should start with getting referrals from friends and family members. It’s important to get more than just the name of a moving company. Ask each person about the type of service he received. Some questions that will help you garner essential details include:

1. Did the moving company perform an on-site estimate?2. Did the mover perform a comprehensive assessment before giving you an estimate?3. What measures were taken to protect your belongings during the move?4. Did you and the movers communicate effectively with one another?

After deciding upon three or four tentative Movers in Wilmington, do an initial screening. Call the American Moving and Storage Association to verify if the company you are researching is a member. This organization requires its members to follow its published tariffs and to engage in its arbitration program. Also, check with the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been filed against the company you are checking out. Since most companies will have at least one grievance filed against them while in business, evaluate the way the conflict was resolved.

Narrow down your list to two potential movers. Call each business for an in-home estimate. Ask the company if it offers non-binding estimates, binding estimates, or both. Both are legal but can affect the final price you will pay for the company’s moving services. If you are moving interstate, federal law requires movers to give you a copy of a booklet called “Your Rights and Responsibilities When Moving”, which is issued by the U. S. Department of Transportation. This booklet will further give you information you need to successfully relocate.

After you have reviewed the estimates and interviewed movers, make a well-informed decision based on your interaction with the movers and their professionalism. For more information, please Visit the website of Superior Moving and Storage, Inc.

Buffalo, New York —Sam Savarino, CEO of Savarino Companies, the development company to be in charge of building the Elmwood Village Hotel at Forest and Elmwood Avenues in Buffalo, New York has told Wikinews in an exclusive interview that the contract to buy the properties from 1109-1121 on Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo has been “extended,” but would not elaborate on how long the extension would last.

“We have extended our agreement to purchase the property and will have it under contract for what we hope is a sufficient period of time,” said Savarino.

The hotel would require the demolition of the five properties on Forest and would cause several businesses to relocate or close their doors. The hotel will be 72 rooms and will cost at least 7 to 10 million dollars to build. Wyndham Hotels is expected to be the owner/operator of the hotel. The properites are still owned by Hans Mobius. Two other properties, 605 and 607 Forest might also be part of the proposal, but lawsuits have so far stopped any development from taking place.

Savarino also stated in a recent interview with Wikinews that his company may be “about ready for round two” in the process of resubmitting the hotel proposal to the City of Buffalo’s Common Council and Planning Board.

“If we were to go through the re-zoning process again it could be arduous,” said Savarino.

In July, Savarino “withdrew” the proposal which is undergoing a “do-over,” according to Vice President of Savarino Companies, Eva Hassett.

In related news, several residents around the area of the proposed hotel were speculating that current roadwork to repair and add sewer lines on Forest Avenue were part of the construction process for the proposed hotel. Savarino has denied those claims.

“We are certainly not doing any work on the site nor is any work being performed on our behalf or at our direction [in relation to the hotel],” said Savarino.

So far, the proposal has not been resubmitted to the City’s Common Council or Planning board and there is no word on when the proposal will be resubmitted.

Wyndham Hotels, which is owned by Cendant Corporation, has not commented on the proposal despite several attempts to contact them.

This exclusive interview features first-hand journalism by a Wikinews reporter. See the collaboration page for more details.

According to scientists, the land territory of Russia has expanded by about 4.5 square kilometres within the last few years in the Far East due to seismic and volcanic activity.

The gained land was recorded in the Sakhalin Peninsula. Boris Levin, head of the Institute for Sea Geology and Geophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that the increase happened primarily due to two seismic events.

The first, in August of 2007, was when a heavy 6.8 earthquake near the city of Nevelsk in the Far East raised about three square kilometres of seabed above the level of the water. The second was in June of this year, when the Sarychev Peak volcano on the Matua Island erupted. GPS trackers on the Matua island were used to monitor the eruption, and the volcano changed its shape, adding 1.5 square kilometres of land, scientists said.

Geologists also reported that the Kuril Islands nearby were slowly moving towards mainland Russia at an estimated rate of eighteen milimetres per year.

Dental braces are now considered not only as a way of making a person looks good by reshaping the outward growth of his or her teeth to become vertically inclined inside his or her mouth to preclude an ugly look that might otherwise destroy his or her beautiful face. Indeed, a beautiful face can be severely destroyed by a protruding mouth due to the outward growth of teeth inside the mouth. These braces are also instrumental in setting the right positions of teeth in the mouth to enable a more efficient chewing of foods.

Because of its importance, a family would now have to subject their son or daughter with outward growing teeth to be corrected with the use of dental braces. If a family is covered by a health insurance, there is the possibility that dental braces might be partially covered by the insurance. Partial coverage can help defray the cost of dental braces. It is however advisable that if you have insurance that partially covers the cost of dental braces, an added or supplemental insurance would be needed so as to make you completely free from the high cost that dental braces can bring.

Primarily because of its cost and the growing needs of families to correct the abnormal growth positions of their childrens teeth that might otherwise affect their health and facial beauty, insurance companies have now designed very affordable insurance for dental braces. This type of insurance will now make it easy on the pocket of parents who might find it hard to have dental braces for their children due to its prohibitive cost.

Orthodontic care is a specialized aspect of the dental profession. This is why you will find that dental braces which form part of orthodontic care are more likely to be priced much higher than the cost of other types of dental care.

Low cost dental braces insurance can be very helpful. This actually is one reason why there are already many children or even teenagers who have dental braces, not withstanding the high cost of such dental service. It should however be noted that if you are planning to have a low cost dental brace insurance for your family, care in selecting the type of dental brace insurance policy should be fully made.

There have been numerous cases whereby the total amounts of insurance coverage were not sufficient to cover for the total cost of dental braces. This situation will only tend to aggravate further the financial strain to the family because of the additional expenses that they will have to overcome.

Scrutinizing carefully the fine print of the Insurance policy should be made prior to signing and paying the first premium of your low cost dental brace insurance. If you find parts of the policy you are not clear about, always clear this out with the office of the insurance company. Doing it this way will make you aware if until how much is your insurance coverage and if what are the other limitation of your low cost insurance dental brace coverage.

There are dental terms that you might encounter aside from legal terminology that are sometimes used in the fine print. Take time out to inquire about these terms and be clarified since you have every right to know what you are going into an agreement in the first place.
