Burner is one of the more popular apps for using burner numbers, or throw-away numbers, on Android. What that means is you can get a temporary number and then never use it again. The app has just hit version 3.0, and it's actually a pretty big update. Some of the big new features is the unified inbox, as well as the Android Wear app. Not to mention it's been redesigned and now has a material design UX.
The app, with it's redesign, has floating action buttons as well as new colors and transitions. It looks really smooth and amazing. Of course, we all love material design here, right? Up above you can see what the app looks like now with the newest update. The update to version 3.0 also brought along the addition of unified inboxes. Obviously, this is great for those that have more than one number in Burner. So you can see texts, missed calls all in one inbox, no matter what number was called or texted. However, it does use color-coding so you can easily see which number was reached. Instead of having to tap on it to see.
The developers also have added an Android Wear app to Burner 3.0. It mostly only allows you to view notifications. However you can reply using voice commands like you would with any other messaging app on Android Wear. There's no keyboard access here, which is great because using a keyboard on your wrist hasn't turned out to be a fantastic experience yet.
Burner's newest update is available on the Google Play Store right now. If you're one that sells stuff on Craigslist often, it's probably an app that you'll need to have. Or you can check out Flyp, which lets you use up to 6 additional numbers. Sorta similar to Burner, but not quite. The app actually looks really good, and it's a pretty good experience as well. Easy to use multiple numbers in the new material design app. Hit the source link below to download it from the Google Play Store.

Students can 'teach, learn anything' at Splash! event
By Daniel Aloi |
Hundreds of area middle and high school students are anticipated for Splash! at Cornell on Saturday, April 18, a day packed with classes across campus on virtually any topic.
With the slogan "Teach Anything – Learn Anything," the event will involve more than 85 Cornell students, sharing their expertise on everything from writing in Russian and saving a life with CPR, to topics in medicine, computer science and history. The Splash! course catalog features more than 100 courses in all.
"Our last event [in October] had about 20 courses, and we reached out to a lot more folks" to teach, said Joseph Fridman '17, president of the Splash! at Cornell executive board and a College Scholar in cognitive science. "Some of our board members and I did these programs back in high school. It allows kids to make their own schedule and attend college for a day. I did it at MIT, and it was one of my first memories of getting excited about neuroscience."
Splash! also lets students "share things that we are passionate about," he said. "If you give them the opportunity, they will lecture for an hour about one of their most loved hobbies."
There are 170 different class sections in classrooms across campus, including "all the available rooms" on the Ag Quad, Fridman said. Splash! at Cornell organizers have sent invitations to the principals of more than 20 schools in the region and are encouraging students to register. "We're hoping for about 500 students to attend. We're ready for it," Fridman said.
Courses cover "topics as diverse as neuroscience, Romanticism, dance, physics and how to build a website," he said. "All the teachers are super excited about it. I'll be teaching a course called Arguments Against Free Speech, on the history, political nature and utility of the rights to freedom of speech and assembly."
Splash! registration
Splash! at Cornell is April 18, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Classes run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., and all students are invited to an opening keynote by Jesse Goldberg, assistant professor of neurobiology and behavior, at 10 a.m. in Call Auditorium, Kennedy Hall.
Registration is online; classes will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The program costs $25, and financial aid is available. All students will be served lunch and will receive a Splash! T-shirt and notepad. Parents and guardians also can sample Splash! courses and attend information sessions on admissions and financial aid at Cornell. For more information, email email@example.com.
Adarsh Jayakumar '16, ranked No. 2 nationally among 18-year-old chess players in 2013, will lead two sections of Chess Strategy: Play Like a Pro.
Other classes include Music: A Motivation for Math; How the Internet Works; Hip-Hop: Music, Myths & Mainstream; The Limits of Computation; Make Your Own Language; and Activism 101, taught by Emma Court '15, president of the Every1 Campaign.
Graduate student Elizabeth DuPre will lead one of the neuroscience courses, Basic Brain Research: Is My Brain Really in Technicolor? Future Ivy Leaguers might want to consider Spontaneous A Cappella. Physics? Try Painless Special Relativity or Makeup for Everybody: A Physicist's Practical and Philosophical Guide.
The Cornell Public Service Center and education faculty are providing support for Splash! in the form of "materials, teaching techniques, facilitating good student-teacher interactions and to make sure we uphold standards," Fridman said.
Splash! at Cornell also receives support from Learning Unlimited, a nonprofit that advocates for teaching and learning and advises similar programs at more than 20 universities across the country.

Expert Advice To Improve Your Facebook Marketing
Facebook is widely used in the United States. It is a great way to market your business. You can take advantage of the paid options for marketing available through Facebook or use the free options for marketing. The following information is about Facebook marketing.
Update your profile whenever you have new information. If there are any changes in your business, change your profile page to reflect them. If your page is kept up to date you'll help the people out that show interest in the things you're offering. You might want to change some items on the page, but people will love those updates.
Never share updates that seem irrelevant to your own content. Posting about impertinent information may be tempting, but remember that some followers may not be interested in unrelated topics. They followed your brand because they are interested in your brand, not current events or your personal life. Your personal account should be used if you have personal things you want to talk with people about.
Get your followers involved in your business. They can help you make sound decisions. They'll love to feel so important. There is nothing better than involving your fans in some of your business decisions. For example, if you run a blog you could ask them what kind of posts you should make.
Make sure you know the pitfalls of Facebook marketing. Most people seek out and apply best practices, but neglect understanding the worst practices. Examples of all of them abound. You probably know how to find the most effective practices, but you may not think about looking for the worst ones. Try to help your campaign out by seeing what shouldn't be done.
Sometimes you have to spend time and money to make money, and this is true of Facebook. Facebook marketing shouldn't just be a side campaign; you need to be serious about it. You will never find success if you use someone that is already really busy to update your Facebook page. Invest the necessary time and resources to see real results.
Stay up to date with new features available on Facebook. It's important your campaign is updated, if subscribers start using new features when they are available. Determine user interest in new features with your own testing.
Keep in mind that customers cannot hear the tone of your posts. If your messages are sent out and they look robotic, people may not wish to be your fan any longer.
Take advantage of your Facebook audience whenever you need a little inspiration. Use suggestions from your audience if you are short of an idea. You can get some great advice this way.
Market your business and product on Facebook successfully by having a page that stands out from the crowd. Put up neat visuals or add some color. This will attract more users.
Your Facebook contacts are a great way to increase sales. Coupons or special offers and promotions can be used to gain new friends and also to reward long-term customers. Long term subscribers may feel left out if they see promotions only offered to new people, and this can become a disincentive to them.
Keep your Facebook page from becoming covered with spam. There are some filters that can be used when editing your page that help monitor the page, even if you are not around. Keeping vigilant and using all of the tools available to you to prevent spam can help your business to flourish.
Consider Facebook as one way to share information. Facebook is more than just idle chatter, it also serves as a primary format for all sorts of content. Use it in this way. Use Facebook to promote your blogs from other channels. You'll soon learn that Facebook can get you a lot of people interested in what you're selling.
If multiple people post to your page, ensure they all have a single strategy in mind. Consistency is always the key to success. If needed, you can prepare updates in advance.
It takes time for you marketing campaign on Facebook to increase your sales. Great marketing never happens in the blink of an eye. You will see results if you provide your users with valuable content and a reason to return to your site. Your effort will be rewarded over time.
Now you know what it takes to market on Facebook. It is going to be easy to apply what you've just learned. Be sure you start right away. You can be sure your competition is already on Facebook. After all, they may be reading this article too!
You should use a picture for your Facebook updates. Marketing requires you to relate well to the customer base, and photos really help. Use your employees, your products or anything else that will grab your readers attention.

Young Astronaut Day is a STEM outreach event for students grade 1st-12th. This event, which started in 1992, gives students the opportunity to work as a team to solve engineering challenges. These range from parachute drops and balloon cars to lego robots. Each year there is an event theme that the activities are centered on (i.e. Mars landing, living in space, etc.). Teams are tasked to complete three activities that create one mission within a 2 hour period. This requires them to build strong teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills. Each team competes against the other teams for a friendly competition. The goal of the event is to inspire and educate students about NASA and the STEM field. This is not only accomplished through the STEM activities but by listening to an Astronaut keynote address and interacting with the scientists and engineers who are leading the activities and volunteering.
The 27th Annual Young Astronaut Day is planned for:
Saturday, November 9, 2019
Cleveland State University Wolstein Center
From 9:00am to 12:30pm

Familiar with a band called AUTUMNS, better take a closer look. This track is off their newest cassette and digital release, "Das Nichts", which will be out around the 2nd week of March on Clan Destine Records.
It's quite remarkable how fast "trends" pass some of us by, it is also quite remarkable how those same "trends" sew deeper roots in parts of the world you may or may not initially expect them too.

The Ship on Watery lane
The Ship on Watery lane Ashton Preston, has closed its doors, this used to be a good venue for bands, what a shame.
It is a sad milestone passing Tony. What is sadder and a bit scary is that the British beer and pub association claim that 39 a week are closing in Britain. This is better.( better!!) than 2 years ago when the figure was 52 a week. No wonder gigs are getting hard to come by compared with 10 years ago. It would be interesting if anyone out there has figures for how many new pubs are opening?..CJ
hindley has just re-opened two pubs !! yes re-opened two. told you hindley was the place to come to. i think that makes it 14 in total just in hindley
dee and dave
Hindley/Ince used to have one of the highest concentrations of pubs on one stretch of road...can't remember full details, but when pits were operating fully in very early 60's
Shame, used to play there, was a good venue.

We are now two weeks from the beginning of Spring Training and the biggest name still sitting out there on the free agent market is Vladimir Guerrero. When the off-season began, it was reported that Vlad was looking for a two-year deal worth $16 million. But with the 2011 season looming, it is now looking like Vlad the Impaler will get only a fraction of that.
Unfortunately for Vlad, the DH-market has not played in his favour. First Jim Thome signed with the Twins for just $3 million. The the Rays picked up Manny Ramirez for just $2 million.
And when the Rangers traded for Mike Napoli (see our MLB offseason transaction tracker), the Angels traded for Vernon Wells, and the A's and Rays signed Hideki Matsui and Manny respectively, the number of teams looking for a DH got very small. In fact, the only team bidding for Vlad's services might be the Orioles. And their offer is just one-year and approximately $5 million.
So at this point, the Orioles best move may be to sit back and just wait for Guerrero's ego to deflate a little. And when it does, and Vlad realises that he is out of options, the Orioles are going to get a solid hitter at a reasonable price.

A great deal of people ask us concerning Medicare Plan F moving away. Yes, in 2020they will phase out Plan F. It will be no more be available for new enrollees. Medicare beneficiaries who are already enrolled in it, however, are going to be able to retain it.
Here's an example: if you have no nutritional supplement, you would owe a $1,384 allowance (Part A deductible in 2019) when you visit the hospital. You would also pay 20 percent of expensive procedures like operation because Part B only pays 80%.
Yes, You are enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A and B). |} You need confirmation of mind knowing you will have help with many of the costs that Original Medicare does not cover. You'd prefer the flexibility to see any doctor who accepts Medicare, not only the physicians in a network, and also with no referral. You plan to travel to the usa and would like to be able to see any doctor who accepts Medicare. You see a doctor who charges more than the Medicare-approved amount for maintenance. You'd love to buy separate dental and vision insurance when you're enrolled. No, You're not registered in Original Medicare (Parts A and B). You have coverage from an employer that pays all or a few of the costs that Original Medicare doesn't cover. You have coverage through your union that pays all or some of the costs that Original Medicare doesn't cover. You are going to subscribe to a Medicare Advantage program (Part C).
Thus, it's not a true Medicare Supplement policy since it does not coordinate benefits with Medicare. |} Do I Want a Medicare Supplement Policy? The solution to this question depends on a single factor. Do you realize you will have sufficient income and assets to cover all medical expenses NOT insured by Medicare, like deductibles, copayments, or non-covered services? If you aren't convinced the answer is yes, or if you don't need to risk it, then you need to explore your options to supplementing Medicare.
Medigap Plan G in Vacherie Louisiana 70090 Provides All the advantages of Plan F, and with the exception of the Part B deductible. |} If you select Plan G, then you'll need to cover the normal yearly Medicare Part B deductible ($185 in 2019) from pocket.
Every firm must sell Plan A, that's the simple plan. The normal strategies are labeled A through L. Remember, the programs are standardized. So, Plan F from one company will be the exact same as Plan F out of another organization. Choose the nutritional supplement policy that fits your requirements, then purchase that program from the firm which offers the lowest premiums and finest customer service.
This totally varies by area. Considering that Medicare supplement insurance programs in Vacherie LA 70090 are standardized, you don't have to think about benefits being different. This means you are going to want to scout out the Medicare gap programs with the lowest prices in your area. The greatest supplemental insurance prices will differ in each state, along with also your age, sex, tobacco usage and eligibility for a family discount also affect your rate.
In the hospital: Because of the Part A deductible, you would cover the initial $1,216. After 60 days, then you will start paying some of each day's cost.
This information is not a complete description of benefits. Contact the plan for more information. Limitations, copayments, and restrictions may apply. Benefits, premiums and/or member cost-share may change on January 1 each year.

[THE DEPUTY CHAIRMAN OF COMMITTEES (Baroness Hooper) in the Chair.]
The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness Hooper): Before the Minister moves that the first statutory instrument be considered, I remind your Lordships that in the case of each statutory instrument the Motion before the Committee will be that it do consider the statutory instrument in question. I should make it clear that the Motion to approve the statutory instrument will be moved in the Chamber in the usual way.
Baroness Crawley rose to move, That the Grand Committee do report to the House that it has considered the Crown Agents Holding and Realisation Board (Prescribed Day) Order 2008.
The noble Baroness said: I am pleased to introduce this order, and I hope that I may do so briefly, as I do not want to repeat information in the Explanatory Memorandum. I hope, however, that I can provide some further detail on its consequences.
The order is about a small tidying up in the business of government. The Crown Agents Holding and Realisation BoardCAHRBis a statutory corporation which was created in 1979 to deal with a specific task. Its task has now been largely completed, and my right honourable friend the Secretary of State for International Development, with the agreement of the board, has concluded that there is no further need to maintain a separate statutory body in existence. The very limited remaining tasks will be done in the name of the Department for International Development.
In its 10th report, the Statutory Instruments Committee summarised the orders effect as being to wind up the board. Although correct in substance, that is not quite formally accurate. The effect of the order will be to vest the remaining assets of CAHRB in DfID with effect from 1 April 2008. The board will then formally continue in existence for the purpose of preparing its final accounts. Once these have been audited and presented to the House, my right honourable friend the Secretary of State will make a separate order, which will formally dissolve the board.
It may be useful if I say a few words about the origin of CAHRB. It came into existence as one of two separate and distinct public bodies established by the Crown Agents Act 1979. The main purpose of the Act was to put the Crown Agents on a firm legal and financial basis following the losses which the so-called unincorporated Crown Agents incurred in ill advised banking and property investments on their own account in the early 1970s.
The 1979 Act ensured that the business of the Crown Agents as agents and advisers to overseas government would be carried on by a statutory corporation which was responsible to Ministers with the appropriate accountability and control. That organisational structure has allowed the Crown Agents business to thrive. Under the ownership of a not-for-profit foundation in the private sector since 1997, the Crown Agents have continued to provide valuable services to DfID and to many other Governments and organisations.
The 1979 Act also set up CAHRB as a separate body to deal with the assets and claims left over from the unincorporated Crown Agents ventures in property and banking which it was thought might have some value and which had, in the mean time, been ring-fenced in a realisation account. That was to manage them for value, to get back what it could over time, and to pay the proceeds to the Exchequer in partial compensation of the grants that the Government had had to provide to the Crown Agents in the secondary banking crisis back in the early 1970s.
Most of the significant recoveries made by CAHRB were completed within a few years. Since then, however, there has been quite a long tail of claims related to companies which were in administration or subject to bankruptcy proceedings. Some final payments from liquidators were received as recently as last year. However, as my right honourable friend the Secretary of State announced in a Written Statement on 7 January, repeated in this House, the Governmentand the board itselfjudge that the appropriate end-point for CAHRB's work has now been reached. The order is made under the provisions in the 1979 Act for the time when the work of the board had been substantially completed.
The latest published accounts for CAHRB are those for 2006. The 2007 accounts are being prepared by CAHRB and will be audited by the National Audit Office. There will be a supplementary account for 1 January to 31 March. We do not expect the final balances transferring to DfID to be significantly different from those reported in 2006, except that £1.6 million of the cash balances of that date has now been repaid to the Consolidated Fund. The holding value of the board's subsidiary company may also be reviewed.
The board has reported to my right honourable friend the Secretary of State that it is not aware of any actual or contingent liabilities that will be transferred to DfID. There are no more proceeds of claims in bankruptcy to come in. In fact, the only asset which will transfer to DfID under the order will be the board's shareholding in a subsidiary company called Four Millbank Investments. The only asset of that company is title as holders of the mortgage in some parcels of land in the Bahamas; those are mostly on the small island of Great Harbour Cay and relate to historic and as yet unfulfilled plans for resort development. The board, through its subsidiary company, has had offers for some of those parcels of land adding up to about $420,000. DfID, through the
18 Mar 2008 : Column GC3
The wind-up of the board will have minimal staffing and running-cost consequences. Its day-to-day work has recently been limited and carried out under contract by staff of the Crown Agents. DfID will consider contracting out any remaining work to dispose of residual assets, and that will not therefore add significantly to DfID's workload. Proceeds received will offset costs.
The board itself has latterly comprised only a chairman and deputy chairman, respectively David Probert CBE and Peter Berry CMG. They have done that work on an expenses-only basis. The Government are very grateful for their public service in that capacity and I pay tribute to them for it. With those thanks, I beg to move.
Moved, That the Grand Committee do report to the House that it has considered the Crown Agents Holding and Realisation Board (Prescribed Day) Order 2008. 10th Report from the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments.(Baroness Crawley.)
Baroness Rawlings: I am grateful to the Minister for introducing this order and explaining the background of the Crown Agents so clearly. I am also very grateful to my honourable friend in another place who has already raised many of the questions that spring to mind. I see no reason to waste noble Lords time by repeating questions to which we already have answers.
However, several questions were left unanswered. I shall probe a little further on what will happen after the Secretary of State has transferred all the remaining assets from the board to DfID. There is still uncertainty about whether they will be administered by DfID civil servants or contracted out, as is now the case. Can the Minister explain why this decision has not yet been made, as arrangements will surely need to be made soon if DfID is to take over the administration on 1 April? I imagine the decision will rest largely on how long the Government expect the remaining assets will take to be wound up. I understand that the share in Four Millbank Investments must be sold to taxpayers best advantage. What competition has been injected into the contracts? Is there any reason for delaying the sale of the rest of the asset book? How long does the Minister expect it to take for DfID to be finished with this business once and for all?
The administration will cost the department something. I note from the debate in another place that the administration costs were £27,000 in the last set of accounts. Does the Minister expect them to be reduced as the asset book is wound up? At a later date, can we have a list of the assets? Can she also shed light on who will pay the costs? Are they to be met by the realised revenue or will DfID pay? Finally, can the Minister confirm that the money realised from the eventual sale of Four Millbank Investments and the other remaining assets will be paid into the
18 Mar 2008 : Column GC4
Lord Roberts of Llandudno: I appreciate the work done by the board over the years. Now that its tasks have been fulfilled, the sensible thing is for it to be wound up. It no longer has any meaningful tasks that cannot be undertaken by the Department for International Development. We wish DfID well in the massive work it has to do. On these Benches, we welcome the order.
For my own satisfaction, I shall ask the Minister two questions which I am sure she has already answered. Can she confirm that no job losses will be involved in this dissolution? Can she confirm that there is no property to be disposed of? I would think that any property that there is should go to the international development fund.
Baroness Crawley: I shall start by answering the question asked by the noble Lord, Lord Roberts, about job losses. I thank him for his remarks wishing the order well. As far as I am aware, there will be no job losses. I shall come to his second point when I address the questions asked by the noble Baroness, Lady Rawlings.
I thank the noble Baroness for her remarks and for wishing the order well. She asked why no decision had been made on contracting out. No formal decision has been taken, but it is very likely that the work will be contracted out to Crown Agents. We wanted to ensure that Parliament had a good opportunity to look at this order before coming to a final decision. As I said in my opening statement, the Crown Agents staff have been working for the board for some time.
The noble Baroness also asked who would pay the costs. As I understand it, they will be met from revenue. I was also asked whether DfID would profit from transferred assets. Within the provisions of the Treasurys consolidated budgeting guidance, DfID will retain cash realised within the capital departmental expenditure limits agreed in the Comprehensive Spending Review.
I am looking to see if I have answers to any other questions that were asked. The 1979 Act, as I recall, in effectI choose my words carefullywrote off the £175 million. In that sense, that is no longer a book liability. I am looking to the officials for confirmation of that. The Explanatory Memorandum mentions it; the Act, as it were, wrote off that sum. The sum might be a book sum, but it does not exist in practical terms.
Will the proceeds go to the Consolidated Fund? Yes, they will. I think that I have covered most of the questions. If there are any more, will Members of the Committee please come back to me?
Lord Roberts of Llandudno: There was just one question. We take it that there is no property or office accommodation to be disposed of.
Baroness Crawley: No, as I understand it, there is no office accommodation to be disposed of.
On Question, Motion agreed to.
Lord Bassam of Brighton rose to move, That the Grand Committee do report to the House that it has considered the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Investigations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland: Code of Practice) Order 2008.
The noble Lord said: The order was laid before the House on 19 February, as were Explanatory Memoranda and a draft code of practice. These provide the background and the need for both the order and the code, and I hope that noble Lords will have had the opportunity to familiarise themselves with both.
The Proceeds of Crime Act, which came into force in 2003, contains investigation powers specifically designed to investigate financial affairs rather than specific offences. These provisions are set out in Part 8 of the Act. As a safeguard to the operation of these powers and an assurance that they are used in a consistent fashion, the Secretary of State issues a code of practice similar to those issued under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act. This code is for use by certain investigators exercising the powers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The Attorney-General will issue a separate code to provide guidance for prosecutors, and Scottish Ministers issue a code for that jurisdiction.
The existing code came into force in 2003. That code has guided investigators in the operation of the powers and, to my knowledge, it has not been challenged. The new, amended code is necessary purely because of amendments to the investigation provisions within the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 made by the Serious Crime Act 2007. It is a necessary, consequential matter.
Significantly, the Serious Crime Act will merge the Assets Recovery Agency into the Serious Organised Crime Agency on 1 April. The Serious Organised Crime Agency will inherit the Assets Recovery Agencys existing confiscation and civil recovery investigation powers.
Another relevant amendment is that production orders and search-and-seizure warrants will also now be available to investigate the provenance or intended use of cash seized and detained under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. This will enable law enforcement bodies to construct forfeiture cases to be heard before the magistrates courts.
There have also been developments in other codes of practice, notably those under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act. These include the requirement to consult with community liaison officers if there is a reason to believe that proposed action may have an adverse effect on relations between law enforcement and the community.
I have tried to be brief as the code is substantially consequential to take account of amendments to the
18 Mar 2008 : Column GC6
Moved, That the Grand Committee do report to the House that it has considered the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Investigations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland: Code of Practice) Order 2008. 12th Report from the Joint Committee on Statutory Instruments.(Lord Bassam of Brighton.)
Baroness Hanham: I thank the Minister for introducing the three orders. The first two seem to amend the codes of practice of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. Several questions arise from this which I will address in a minute. The third statutory instrument is not particularly controversial. It clarifies the reference to members of staff noted in Section 280(4) of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2000 as a consequence of amendments made to it under the Serious Crime Act 2007.
I should like to put to the Minister one question regarding this matter. The amended code includes contractors within the definition of members of staff who take on the role of trustees of recovered assets. The amendment will extend the ability for fees to be paid from the recovered assets to these contractors. Who is it expected the contractors will be? That is my only question on the third statutory instrument.
Returning to the first two statutory instruments
Lord Bassam of Brighton: I was going to deal with them in turn. I have not presented the other two yet.
Baroness Hanham: I have got them all down together.
Lord Bassam of Brighton: The Order Paper does say that, I agree. I have not spoken to the others but I will be happy to do so if the noble Baroness wishes.
Baroness Hanham: Would it be possible for the Minister to go through all three and then we can deal with them all together?
Lord Bassam of Brighton: I think that would probably be better.
Baroness Hanham: Yes, under the circumstances. I thought the Minister had been very brief.
Lord Bassam of Brighton: I thought it might help concentration, but I quite understand.
We have laid an Explanatory Memorandum and a code of practice for the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Cash Searches: Code of Practice) Order 2008, which provide the background to and the reasons for the need for both the order and the code. Under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, police and Customs officers were given powers to search, seize, detain and
18 Mar 2008 : Column GC7
These powers have been a triumph. Approximately £1 million is being seized every week, and the amounts forfeited last year accounted for 25 per cent of the £125 million total of all criminal proceeds recovered. The powers, which are set out in chapter 3 of Part 5 of the Proceeds of Crime Act, were extended by the Serious Crime Act 2007. Section 79 of, and Schedule 11 to, the Serious Crime Act will broaden the availability of the powers to accredited financial investigators. An accredited financial investigator is an investigator who is not a constable or officer of her Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, and who has been trained and accredited by the National Policing Improvement Agency under Section 3 of the Proceeds of Crime Act. They are accredited to allow them access to various powers in the Proceeds of Crime Act. Up until now, accreditation and training have been provided by the Assets Recovery Agency, which has accredited members of staff of, for example, the Financial Services Authority and the Department for Work and Pensions. At the moment, those investigators can apply for investigation orders, search warrants and restraint orders. Any execution of warrants or searches has remained the preserve of the police and Customs.
As experience in use of the Proceeds of Crime Act has developed, many agencies now operate their financial investigation cases wholly independently of the police, so it makes sense that they have the full range of powers in the Act. The Serious Crime Act makes the necessary amendments come into force on 6 April. As of that date, accredited financial investigators will be able to search for and seize cash.
The Proceeds of Crime Act has a number of safeguards attached to the search power, one of which is the code of practice which provides guidelines as to how the search powers are to be exercised. There is an existing code, but it covers only constables and officers of Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs. It has been successfully in operation for some five years, but it requires updating to cover the extension of the search powers to accredited financial investigators. The code of practice is before us today, as is the draft order which is required to bring the code into operation on 6 April.
The matter is not controversial, because the code is required only as a consequence of amendments to the Proceeds of Crime Act. The code has taken account of developments in wider law enforcement trends; for example, I draw attention to paragraph 8, which introduces a requirement to consider whether a search may have an adverse effect on relations between law enforcement and the community, and to consult the community liaison officer if necessary. It should also be noted that the code has been subject to a public consultation exercise. It has been revised in the light of comments received. A summary of those responses will be issued in due course.

Getting started couldn't be easier. In fact, your crooked teeth could be straighter teeth, and your smile, more beautiful, within weeks of receiving Invisalign invisible braces from your orthodontist.
During this first step you will need to make an appointment with an Invisalign Certified Orthodontist. During the initial visit, your orthodontics professional will help you decide on your course of teeth straightening treatment. He will take bite impressions of your teeth and send them, along with a set of precise instructions, to Invisalign.
Invisalign uses advanced 3-D computer imaging technology to transform your bite impressions into a custom-made series of clear and removable invisible braces. There may be as many as 48 in the series or as few as 12, depending on your individual Invisalign clear braces treatment plan.
During your next visit to your orthodontist, you will receive your first set of Invisalign aligners. Your orthodontist will most likely give you a few additional sets for you to wear before you return for your next visit.
You'll wear each set of clear Invisalign braces day and night for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush and floss. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months, but will vary from case to case. You'll visit your orthodontist only about every 6 weeks to ensure that your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned.
Congratulations! When you're finished wearing each aligner in the series, your Invisalign teeth straightening treatment will be complete and you will have the beautiful smile you've always wanted.
Our jaws do more than chew, grind and tear our food. They also help us swallow and enable us to experience normal speech. And, they contribute to our basic oral health. But most of us take our jaws for granted.
Orthodontics dentists know that when jaws meet correctly and teeth are configured properly, it's called occlusion. When things don't fit, that's malocclusion. About two million Americans suffer from malocclusion. Tooth braces can help improve the effects of malocclusion and other orthodontic problems.
For 20% of us, jaw problems are a handicap. For 5% of us, malocclusion can be considered a physical and mental hardship. Tooth braces and orthodontics make it possible to eat, breathe, and communicate normally.
Tooth braces can literally affect the quality of life in the most fundamental ways and give you the smile you have always wanted.

Afghanistan's Looming Water Crisis
Tensions over trans-boundary water issues with Iran and Pakistan have been a major hurdle to investments in Afghanistan's water infrastructure.
Tensions over trans-boundary water issues with Iran and Pakistan have been a major hurdle to investments in Afghanistan's water infrastructure.
Trans-boundary tensions have cast a shadow over Afghanistan's water infrastructure - and that's bad news when the country is trying to fight its status as the world's largest opium producer.
Iran and Pakistan depend on river basins that flow out of Afghanistan. And Afghans are growing paranoid that their neighbors are trying to take more water than the country can afford to give.
The interrogation of a suspected bomber in volatile Helmand province raises questions about the security in the region.
Saleem Khan Rody is governor of one of the most strategic spots in Afghanistan. He has attracted major projects, including a $75 million investment in a power plant. The Taliban are out to stop him.
Women in Afghanistan want their children to be safe and fed. They want a government that protects them against sectarian violence. But none of this is in sight, and soon the Americans will be gone.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, has become the signature injury of America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But what about the people who live in those places. Can an entire country have PTSD?
Haunting portraits of the practitioners of Landai, two-line Pashtun poems that serve as a mode of public dissent for many Afghanistan women.
In Afghanistan, poems called landai express love and grief in two lines. For many Afghan women, these poems are a powerful form of protest.
Afghan entrepreneurs are taking advantage of new technology, including audio editions, to bring books to a market that faces the challenge of 28 percent illiteracy.
Afghan women are writing poetry of love, war, exile, grief and Afghan independence with ferocity. By writing it they are also risking their lives.

The zoom feature has released to the public ring. Using CRTL + or CTRL – zoom in and out on a Windows PC.
I need to correct the information I provided last month about MAC. It appears the MAC version is still in testing and hasn't yet gone out to the public. It is "In Testing" but will be coming to the public soon!
The item tracking this specific update can be found at: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/admin/v3/suggestions/16933183/activity
There now is a UI element that tells you your current zoom level and a Setting within the UI to preset your zoom preference.
Since the zoom feature could very well cover the vast majority of user needs, based on the majority of comments and feedback, I will flag this item as Partially Done.
Thank you for all the feedback and support!

a question regarding big commercial or research systems. Recently I visited the Aquaponic-System of the "IGB - Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries Berlin e.V..
Instead of growbeds with gravel, they take NFT-Trays with rock wool cubes as the only substrate for the plants. The nitrification takes place in a large biological trickle Filter, where the water runs trough structured plastic-parts. Also the growing vegetables are not in the water circle. The fish-tanks runs with the biofilter run in a primary cycle, but from then, there is only a one way-ticket to the plants. About 5% of water have to be refilled regularly. One of the benefits of this architecture: Additional natural substances or micronutrients can be added indepentently from the fish-water. Cultivating vegetable is fully indepenent tho the bacteria cling to the biofilter, which works very stable at the same level without any maintainance. Even a breakdown of the cultivated plants would not affect the nitrification process.
Project Page: http://www.igb-berlin.de/weborg/frames_abtlg/igba5frameset_e.html
On this page is a little Animation of the concept: http://www.chemgapedia.de/vsengine/vlu/vsc/de/ch/26/igb/aquaponik/a...
Unfortunately this site exists only in german but here are some fotos of the system: http://www.eppenberger-media.ch/afrikanische-buntbarsche-lassen-tom...
Edit: corr.
Views: 310
Sounds great. Can you post some sketches of how the system would work?
In our research leading up to the design of our commercial system (300 square meters, flood-and drain gravel beds feeding medialess beds after that) we looked at all these fancy filter methods, but abandoned all of it. There is no aquaculture industry in South Africa, which means that all these nice things, as well as their spares, will have to be imported from overseas. Second, we want robustness, even if it compromises a little bit on yield. Where we want to build these tunnels, we would be the only back up. No suppliers or electricians or biologists for 100's of kilometers. We have great respect for a raised gravel bed with auto siphons in terms of aeration and filtration capacity. We have found other ways to optimise our systems, but not through the use of aquaculture-style filtration. Since fish value is not high at present, we can afford this outlook. Our financials work out on relatively little space for the fish, optimizing plant growth.

By definition, a roofing emergency happens unexpectedly. When one does occur, you can face an incredibly stressful situation that puts the well-being of your family in jeopardy, and your home at risk of devastating, costly water damage. Some of the most likely reasons you may need emergency roof repair are:
- Roof deterioration caused by long-term exposure to UV radiation and the elements.
- Cracked, broken or missing shingles due to high winds.
- Damage caused by tree limbs knocked down in a storm.
- Failure of the flashing around roof penetrations like the chimney, plumbing vent pipes or skylights.
- An ice dam that lets water back up under the roof edges.
Steps to Take Before Emergency Roof Repair is Necessary
It's simply impossible to prevent all the possible causes of a roofing emergency, but it is possible to make the situation less nerve-racking and lower the chances of damage and danger by taking these steps now:
- Locate a trustworthy roofer. You don't want to begin searching for a dependable roofing contractor in the midst of an emergency, so start immediately. Look for a well-established contractor who's licensed and insured. Assess their responsiveness, reliability and reputation by contacting prior customers, checking online reviews and verifying that they have manufacturer certifications and offer 24/7 in-house emergency service.
- Tackle needed repairs. Once you've chosen a trustworthy contractor, get your roof inspected and have any minor issues dealt with, such as damaged/missing shingles or flashing, loose metal panels or badly-installed ridge vents/caps. Getting any problems fixed now prevents them from escalating and lessens the chances of related leaks in high winds or heavy rains.
- Check your homeowner's insurance coverage. It's essential to know what types of events you're protected against, and whether the amount of your coverage for repairs or replacement depends on your roof's age. Additionally, you should be familiar with your insurer's claim process.
- Find your utility shut offs. Learning where the electricity, water and gas shut offs are located can allow you to get the flow turned off quickly if your roof is compromised so you can minimize any risk of a flood, gas leak, fire or explosion.
Contact us at Adams Roofing Professionals if you're searching for a reputable and dedicated roofing contractor in the Elk Grove Village area. We not only have experienced crews available 24/7, we can help you get prepared so your next roofing emergency is less stressful.

It analyzes document images and applies authentication rules based on the type, version, country of origin of the document, so as to seek and check the covert and overt security features, infra-red and ultra-violet details expected from a genuine document. Data extraction and cross-checks are included in the process, all in a few seconds.
MorphoTablet 2 is IDEMIA's second generation secure biometric (fingerprint and face) tablet.
Our brand-new MiMs Mobile Access application converts MorphoTablet 2 into a smart mobile terminal for access control and time & attendance applications.

The International Crimes (ICT) has so far delivered judgement in 40 cases of crimes against humanity since its inception on March 25, 2010, and is waiting to pronounce verdict in 41st case on any day.
The ICT-1 on October 17 kept the judgement in case against alleged Razakar Abdus Sattar alias Tipu alias Tipu Sultan from Rajshahi, on CAV (curia advisory vault), a Latin legal term meaning the court awaits verdict.Justice Md Shahinur Islam, chairman of the three-member tribunal, passed the order as both the prosecution and defence counsel completed their closing arguments in the case on that day.
Of the 40 cases, which have been disposed of by the tribunal, verdicts in 29 cases were pronounced by ICT-1, while 11 judgments were delivered by ICT-2, which has been kept non-functioning from September 15, 2015.
Of the cases, which have been disposed of by the two tribunals, seven were completed in the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court, with execution of six convicted war criminals including former Jamaat-e-Islami chief Matiur Rahman Nizami, its secretary general Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid, assistant secretary general Abdul Qader Mollah and Muhammad Kamaruzzaman and BNP leader Salauddin Qader Chowdhury.
Another Jamaat leader Delwar Hossain Sayedee is serving life imprisonment as the apex court has commuted his death sentence, initially awarded by the ICT-1.
On October 31, the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court upheld death sentence of another Jamaat leader ATM Azharul Islam, while his counsels said they would file a plea to review the judgement once the full text of the verdict is released.
