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.

Vehicles are a necessity. Thus, some people have no other option but to finance a car with poor credit. It’s easier to finance a new or used vehicle with good credit. Many auto loan lenders are ready to approve these loan applications, and the interest rates are decent. On the other hand, if attempting to finance a car loan after a bankruptcy or repossession, finding a good offer is challenging.
Reasons to Rebuild Credit after Bankruptcy
Rising above a past bankruptcy requires immediate action. Restoring your rating after a major credit hiccup is possible. The key to building credit entails establishing new lines of credit. It is natural to have a low spirit after a bankruptcy discharge. Rather than focusing on the bad, work to recover from a low credit rating.
If trying to boost credit rating after a bankruptcy, do not expect an overnight miracle. A chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy will severely decrease your credit rating. Moreover, a bankruptcy remark remains on reports for ten years. Thus, any lender reviewing your credit history will notice the discharge. However, the negative effects of bankruptcy are short lived for those who quickly rebuild their credit.
Restore Credit with an Auto Loan
To restore credit, new lines of credit are extremely helpful. For a low credit rating to increase, you must be willing to maintain a good payment history with new creditors. On the downside, getting approved for new lines of credit after a bankruptcy is easier said than done. This is because you are no longer an ideal candidate for credit. Because auto loans are protected by the vehicle, these loans have become a quick way of establishing credit and proving creditworthiness.
Shopping for a Bad Credit Auto Loan
If shopping for a new loan, it helps to explore different financing options. A select number of traditional auto loan lenders offer bad credit auto loan programs. Because these lenders do not specialize in bad credit financing, their selection of bad credit loans is limited.
For more financing options, use an auto loan broker. Brokers have access to many sub prime auto loan lenders. If you have credit issues, sub prime lenders offer better results. Although shady auto loan lenders do exist, the majority of sub prime lenders will not take advantage of you. Instead, they do everything in their power to get customers the best auto loan rate and terms.

Before the Ministry of Education removed the title the “Gate of Great Centrality and Perfect Uprightness” along the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, members of the public and politicians from Pan-Greens and Pan-Blues battled and demonstrated there, but 5 reporters were hit by a truck near the National Central Library when they made a SNG live report.
According to witnesses and Chien-chiang Wang from Formosa Television, they witnessed the driver deliberately stepping on the accelerator after he hit a reporter and braked. Even though the suspect, Sheng-lou Peng was under arrested by the police, he caused the public indignations and was punched by a protester.
Due to the incident, politicians from Pan-Greens and Pan-Blues argued for the responsibilities again. Eventually, a legislative candidate named Feng Mei maliciously said: “It’s a show, SO WHAT?!” This behavior without respects on hurt reporters caused outrages from voters from Pan-Greens and Pan-Blues and Mei’s neighborhoods.
Politicians from two coalitions like Premier of the Republic of China Chun-hsiung Chang, KMT 2008 Presidential Candidate Ying-jeou Ma, Magistrate of Taipei County Hsi-wei Chou, Minister of the Government Information Office Chih-wei Hsieh, and current President of the Republic of China Shui-bian Chen all criticized on this incident and hoped 5 hurt reporters can recover soon.

An English lawyer has pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice. He faked a legal judgment and sent it to a father who was pleading in Taunton family court to be able to remain involved in his child’s upbringing. The lawyer, London barrister Bruce Hyman, now awaits his sentence. The judge indicated that he could receive a prison sentence. Bruce Hyman is well-known in media circles, having produced The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy on BBC Radio. He also produced a series with Clive Anderson, at Above the Title Productions, called Unreliable Evidence.
The father, a former City financier, had attended a series of court hearings in order to make suitable arrangements to see his child following an acrimonious divorce. Shortly before one of these hearings he received an email, ostensibly from a self-help group to which he belonged, which had attached a Court of Appeal case that appeared favourable to an application he had made for the judge to stand down from the case. The father, who was representing himself, duly showed the case to the judge. At this point, Bruce Hyman, the lawyer representing the former wife, claimed to the judge that the case was a forgery, which indeed it turned out to be.
After confirming that the self-help group had not sent him the email, the father then embarked on some detective work his own. The fraudulent email was traced via its header to a dial-up internet connection and a phone number belonging to a shop in London. The shop was able to recover CCTV footage which showed a man sending the email from an Apple laptop. The man turned out to be Bruce Hyman.
Sentencing of Hyman is due in Bristol Crown Court on the 19th of September.

Mom, Dad, I m bored! What can we do?
You re getting pretty much bored these days being a stay-at-home parent, and your child doesn t know what to do too? Or you need fresh ideas to make some changes in your routine? Here are great tips to put magic in your days!
1. Prepare to have fun
Get up before your little one and prepare all you need depending on what you want to do. By having all ready you will be more relaxed during the day and ready to grab fun moments.
2. Vary the magic
Change what does not tempt you today. No cereals, fine. Reheated pizza (like an organic and veggie one, it s best to eat healthy food) for breakfast, why not? Your child wants to wear clothes out of the ordinary? Let him – and do it too you might like it!
Find how you can change every part of your routine. Dancing doing the dishes or sweeping may be a movie clich but it’s really more fun and there is every chance that your child will do so too!
3. It’s time for a special activity!
Ask yourself what you liked to do when you were young? An indoor playhouse done with blankets it s raining? Build a camp in the woods? Your child will be excited and you will rediscover your joyfulness.
You can go out at activity centers specially designed for children too. But the memorable moments don t have to be expensive.
4. Have your own fun time
Ask yourself what would excite you today and keep at least an hour to do it. Watch a movie, take a class, a beer with friends?
5. Accomplish yourself once and for all
I know that without using my potential and helping others to be happy, I get bored. That’s why I started writing and make available the website Blissful Stay-At-Home Parent. I’m busy but I like my life!
What are you lacking in your life? Do you have a dream that you re waiting to do? Follow your passions and start your project step by step – you’ll be amazed at the results when we roll up our sleeves and do it at last!
6. Carpe Diem
Now is the only time you have. That’s right! “Seize the day”, live fully, savor the pleasures of life.
7. Think of fun instead of…
You should not be reluctant to do a stay-at-home parent task, complain about the weather or be too serious. Remember to have some fun in everything you do and see what is positive everywhere. Your moral will be uplifted, contagious and you will be an inspiration for other people, including your child. But precisely, your child may be your best model to show you how to have fun with everything.
P.S. Why “kick boredom far away” in the title? Because I felt myself like having fun and variety in writing this article! Stay tuned for other great titles…

Officials from France and Germany have warned people against using Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, citing security holes, and encouraged users to find an alternate browser to surf the Internet.
The government agency Certa, which oversees cyber attacks and security, warned against using all versions of Internet Explorer. Officials from Germany had warned last Friday against the browser when malicious code was published on the Internet.
“Pending a patch from the publisher, Certa recommends using an alternative browser,” Certa said in a statement.
Graham Cluley, from the security firm Sophos, said that the weakness had only been exploited in IE6, but he noted that “Microsoft themselves admit there is a vulnerability, even in IE8.” He noted that, since more information into the malicious code is now available on the internet, hackers could alter the code to make it affect other versions of the browser.
The head of Microsoft’s security and privacy department, however, commented that “the risk is minimal. There are very few of them out there,” adding that in order for a computer to be infected by a virus, it would have to be running IE6 and be on a compromised website. “If you look at other browsers, it’s likely they will have other vulnerabilities,” he said to the BBC. “We feel strongly that IE8 is most secure browser on the market.”
Microsoft encouraged users to upgrade to IE8, which they described as the “most secure browser on the market”.
The firm is working on a patch to fix the problem, however, a spokesman said there wasn’t any specific timeframe for its release.
