The 16-digit Unique Identification number that the government proposes to give you could become mandatory for opening a bank account, getting your passport or even your driving licence, among others.
The Unique Identification Number (UID) scheme, which is expected to roll out the first number in 12-18 months, however, will not confer on anyone any rights, including citizenship, Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) Chairman Nandan Nilekani said.
Stressing that the UID at present is completely voluntary, Nilekani, the Infosys co-founder who quit the IT firm to head the ambitious government project, said the number will become "pervasive and ubiquitous" in future.
"When you to get a passport, they will say where is your UID number, when you go to get a driving licence, they will say where is your UID number, when you go to tax, they will say where is your UID number, you go to open a bank account, they will say where is your UID number. Sooner or later you will have to get your UID number," Nilekani told PTI in an interview.
He said that in the coming years, all the above mentioned documents will start displaying the UID number, which proposes to weed out duplicate identities in the system, and hence the "number will become pervasive and ubiquitous. It will become embedded in all these documents."
He said, "It is not mandatory but more applications will make it a prerequisite. So sooner or later your life becomes simpler if you have the number."
Nilekani said talks are already on with various agencies and ministries and that "everybody is ready to partner with us on this and use our UID number in their database."
He said that UID will also help to check black money and result in higher tax collections as it will become difficult to have duplicate accounts.
"Once the bank accounts start having the UID, then you can't keep unaccounted money in the banking system. UID will sort of act as a check on keeping black money and all that. It will also strengthen security," he said.
Nilekani said it will take "years and not one day" for the entire process to change. He said about 600 million of the about 1.2 billion population will be covered under the project in the next five years. PTI

Connecting people working on the same problem within an IDE environment
Original Publication Date: 2004-Jun-04
Included in the Prior Art Database: 2004-Jun-04
Publishing Venue
This invention solves the problem of when many developers on large development projects encounter and start to debug the same problem within a similar period, and do not realize that others are looking at the same problem and do not have the same information relating to what caused the problem.
Connecting people working on the same problem within an IDE environment
This invention provides for a hook in an exception monitor of applications under development within an IDE environment, and looks at the modules added to debug and in what routine's breakpoints have been established to determine if two people are likely debugging the same problem, and if these behaviors are similar enough they will inform users about other user's activities.
This invention will save a problem signature in a shared database for a period of time and when another user creates the same or a similar signature within a particular period of time, each user is notified that the other user seems to be or has been working on the same problem.
The users need not be actively debugging at the same time since the signatures are saved through debug sessions. The notification will indicate when the other user's signature was saved, and whether the other user is currently active.
The signature includes any exceptions seen from one of the programs under debug, prior to or during debug. The exception types and positions within the code are saved as part of the signature. Locations within the debugger and whether the user has stopped or set breakpoints are also kept. Each entry in the signature is also given a significant score. Events that occur less often are given less significance than events that occur more often. For example, if a user typically sets a breakpoint at a particular point in t...

Drupal for Education and elearning, book review
Drupal for Education and elearning by James G Robertson and Bill Fitzgerald
One of the commonalities with packt's Drupal titles is that whilst covering a variety of themes, they often include a lot of basic material that is included in all titles. This makes the titles great for those looking to cover a particular theme or topic from start to finish, but for those looking for more depth (or reviewing titles) you will spend some time reading through familiar territory such as installing, modules, site maintenance etc. On one hand covering the basics each time enables the writers to put topics in appropriate context for their audience, but on the other, it was could be a nice idea to sell smaller titles stripped down to the basics that only cover completely relevant topics.
Anyway, enough of that tanget.
"Drupal for Education and elearning" is basically a title that describes how to configure several modules to best appeal to a school audience, in this case blogs, groups, submitting assessments and presenting multimedia content, often tied into what you might want to do this and how it potentially ties into a school program. It does this by introducing modules such as views, organic groups, media and concepts such as fields, display modes, entities and relationships.
The book also delves into some more complex topics such as PHP snippets and command line interactions that feel a little forced in for good measure, but they do at least hint at the future potential of your website.
All in all a great introductory guide for those in education looking to explore Drupal who aren't afraid of delving into the deep end after some brief paddling.

I once held a party for a friend's birthday. He got stupid drunk, wanted to fight my other guests and broke shit! He got kicked out and I continued to party. Why should I have cut my fun short because he got out of line? Some think since it's their birthday, they have a free pass to be a dick.
He sobered up the next day and apologized. Still friends!

Ok, hands up those of us who remember floating around with a silly smile on our faces on the morning of 2nd of May 1997 and then over the next twelve years saw those smiles disolve into feelings of betrayal. I have to admit I was one of those and for me the key instigators of the betrayal were Peter Mandleson and the Blairs. So it was when I began reading Cherie Blair's autobiography Speaking for Myself that I expected to be bombarded by spin and sentiment. The exact opposite is true and this is one of the most different and engaging auto-biographies or biographies I have ever read.
Whilst all memoirs are taking a position and trying to paint a particular picture this one is different from most. Yes there are clear ommissions, most noteably about the miners strike which becomes one short incidental paragraph but this is more personal than most. What is most striking and perhaps is reflected within the title is the lack of a ghost writer. Autobiographies are often noted for the emphasis on the sob story or the fortitude of the writer and often they give a clear insight into the writers early life and professional life but not their personal life. This though has the ring of a woman who just wants to tell it like it is / was and thank alot of people who wouldn't normally get a look in, but have helped keep a bizarre world bearable. It is a book which gives a facinating into the beliefs of "average Catholics" who are devout in their faith but totally at home in the late modern world and the reality of their lives reflects this and the contrictions that then occur between "official doctrine" and day to day practice and attitudes.
It is a book which does not read like either a feminist tract or religious testimony but yet could be seen as both and more besides. Within the book Blair talks about the reality of balancing a busy life and being a working mum. She talks about the importance faith has in your decision making but equally how at times you decide to disregard the churches formal teaching because it is totally out of step with modern life. Within this she also talks about the way your faith directs your own beliefs and decision making processes but it does not lead you to condemn or comment upon others who make different choices. It is a book which talks about friendship but also about politicing. It is also a book which talks realistically about the demands being in the public eye puts on people. In short it is a book about real life and a real woman.
It also moves beyond Mandleson and gives insight into the mind of a New Labour supporter. It shows what the motivations were and how the complex beliefs in and against socialism work. It is a book which has made me more sympathetic to the architects position, although still not leading me to agree with much of it.
If I were to recommend one non-fiction book to read this year I think it would be this one. I'd also recommend you take a look at her website, which reflects what I would regard as the sensible face of feminism, although I am sure that you would never find the f word coming from her lips.

Saturday, April 25, 2015
I had an aunt years ago that was a pain in the a$$.
When I went into the army I told my dad that under no circumstances was he to let her know where I was stationed because I didn't want a bunch of fruitcakes and religious tracts sent to me.
He immediately understood and passed word to most of my uncles but I guess one of them forgot to tell his wife to keep her mouth shut. Aunt Jane let the cat out of the bag and the mail started coming.
Fruitcakes are a WW2 thing and I have mentioned that there was one that was made in 1942 that was sent through the years from serviceman to serviceman in the tribe until some distant cousin of mine got it during Desert Storm and finally buried the damned thing in the desert somewhere.
With my luck he left my name on it and a windstorm will unearth it and some Bedouin will discover it and send it directly to me and I will have to pass it on to someone else.
Anyway, I started getting fruit cakes and religious tracts from her and one day I was told I had mail and to pick it up. When I got there the Battery Commander was there and watched me take it all and stuff it in the trash.
Curiosity overcame him and he asked me why I was simply throwing all of my mail in the trash. I told him about my aunt. Then I asked him if he had any bright ideas in how to get her to stop.
Look it up in the book, he told me. You know, the Joseph Heller book. I laughed. He was referring to 'Catch-22'. The book was a favorite among a lot of the guys in the battery, both officer and enlisted. I was one of the guys that had read it and quoted from it frequently. The BC also quoted from it frequently.
We actually had a medic with the nickname 'Doc Daneeka'. Daneeka was one of the characters in the book. Two of the medics were nicknamed Gus and Wes after two medics in the book that would paint every patients gums and toes purple.
One day someone tried to feign sickness to escape from a road march. The two medics nicknamed Gus and Wes promptly painted HIS gums and toes purple. Even though they both caught holy hell for it, malingering instantly dropped off to nothing.
I knew what to do immediately and then stopped and thought. I looked up at the BC and told him that likely she'd ignore it if I wrote her and the BC said to meet him in the orderly room after the morning formation the next day.
My Battery Commander at the time had a pretty twisted sense of humor. He was also planning on getting out of the service after his tour of being a battery commander was up. He really didn't have much of a career to protect. Without a career to protect, an officer is downright dangerous.
The next day rolled around and I reported as directed. The BC grinned and looked at the First Sergeant. He said that I was having a problem with my aunt sending me fruitcakes.
"Fruit cakes!" said Top. "I thought they stopped sending those to soldiers after Korea! I have one in a footlocker somewhere I got in Korea back in '53! Its still probably edible!"
"I've called the Sergeant Major in for advice," said the BC. THAT turned heads! Everyone in the orderly room looked at the Old Man agape in absolute horror. He smiled back at us.
How the BC had gotten the Sergeant Major to come to us I will ever know. When someone needed the Sergeant Major they went to him. God wanted some advice from a Sergeant Major once and had to walk half a mile to him. On the other hand, the BC got along pretty well with him. He considered the Sergeant Major as a pretty good source of army knowledge.
Looking back on things the BC was pretty sharp involving the Sergeant Major into the doings of a Headquarters battery. It kept surprises to a minimum.
The Sergeant Major was a spavined old warrior that had a break in service along the lines. He was actually pretty old for his pay grade, and had served in WW2.
One day at the rifle range a few of the older soldiers were grousing about how the M-14 they learned to shoot on was a superior weapon. The Sergeant Major was listening and someone saw him and asked him what he learned to shoot on. He said he had learned on a 1903 Springfield.
I don't believe I was quite a sergeant yet and still pretty green. My mouth ran away with me. I said that I didn't think he had learned on a Krag and I guess my humor went over his head. (Thank God!) He simply replied that he wasn't that old.
We looked out the window and saw the Sergeant Major headed toward us and braced ourselves for his arrival.
We popped to as he entered the orderly room and the BC looked at him and buttered him up a bit explaining that we had an age old army problem and needed his expertise.
"Piccolo has an aunt that keeps sending him fruitcakes," said the BC. It was the first and only time I ever saw the Sergeant Major laugh.
"I have a pair of them on my mantle piece that were sent to me back in North Africa in '42!" he laughed. "I kept those two as souveniers and buried God knows how many in the Tunisian desert and all the way up Salerno, Palermo, Anzio and all the way to Rome!"
He looked at me and laughed. "You poor bastard!"
Then he turned to us and explained that so many fruitcakes were sent to GIs that they were worried about the mail being sent overseas was taking up too much shipping space. He actually asked the Chief of Staff to see what he could do to get people to stop sending them. Washington didn't because they were afraid of offending the public.
The public kept sending fruitcakes and as fast as they arrived the GIs kept burying them. Even starving Italians wouldn't eat them. My uncle was a Seabee in the Pacific and claimed there was a backhoe of some sort assigned specifically to bury fruitcakes. He said that lasted until some Navy Chief discovered a way to extract the rum out of them that most of them were soaked in. I suppose it was a change from making cocktails out of torpedo juice.
Incidentally it was the same aunt that sent him fruitcakes that was sending them to me. I suppose one war's as good as another to an old lady.
The BC looked at the Sergeant Major and said he was going to send my aunt a letter saying I had been borrowed by the CIA for a long, dangerous and secret mission and that writing me could endanger my life. He promised that I'd write her as soon as I returned.
The Sergeant Major looked at the BC. "I'm not going to tell the BnCO about this," he said. "But please let me know how it works out."
Twenty minutes later the mail clerk wandered in with his daily delivery and was handed a letter addressed to my aunt. She never wrote again and neither did I.
The Sergeant Major retired about a year later and from that day on just about every time we crossed paths he would ask me how things were working out. He seemed pleased to find out I was not getting any more damned fruitcakes from my aunt.

Rather than wait in line for a screening that might be past my bedtime, my father decides to cheer me up by taking me to a comedy instead. We drive to a second-run theater which is showing the R-rated Animal House, one of the year's biggest hits since its July premiere. Going in, I remember only being vaguely aware of who John Belushi was (I hadn't yet started staying up to watch SNL), and I'm not sure if my dad was aware how much "inappropriate" content he was exposing me to at a young age.
All I know is that I loved it enough to recommend it to my best buddy Gil, and we roped his father into taking us again. He had been tipped off as to the nude scenes, and made us turn our heads and face the projection booth when the first one came on-screen. Once he saw how harmless it was, he let us face forward for the rest of the film.
Watching SNL reruns over the next year and a half made me a bigger Belushi fan, capped off by a summer 1980 viewing (with Gil and his mom) of The Blues Brothers, still my favorite movie of all time. So it was inevitable that when Animal House made its network television debut on NBC February 15th, 1981, we had the VCR ready to roll:
Of course, much of the salty language in Animal House was unsuitable for network television, but luckily director John Landis had thought ahead. He shot alternate takes of several scenes, substituting in cleaner dialogue for the words that would have required cutting (or bleeping).
This makes the film run much smoother than most R-rated films seen in prime time. Only a couple of scenes were excised entirely (Boon and Otter talking in Delta House near the start, and the visit to Professor Jennings's pad to smoke joints), and of course any nudity was trimmed away. In shots where the characters' mouths were far away or not visible, simple ADR was used to replace cursing.
That leaves about six minutes of specially-shot footage, which aren't found on the DVD (I'm not sure if they're used in current airings on cable TV). Fans of the movie will spot the differences right away, but here's a quick summary:
- Dean Wormer's "grab the bull by the balls" and "sneaky little shit" in the first clip become "grab the bull by the horns" and "sneaky little jerk"
- John Belushi's hilarious escalating trilogy of "Holy Shit!"s become "Oh my God!', "I don't believe it!", and "Yaaaaargh!"
- The topless pillow fight is replaced by a take where the sorority sisters all keep their bras on
- Boon's "Those assholes must have stolen the wrong exam" and Wormer's "like shit through a goose" are altered to "those jerks" and "so fast, your head'll spin"
- The start of Otter's grocery conversation with Mrs. Wormer about the size of his cucumber has been shortened and replaced with a different take
- Wormer's phone conversation with the mayor originally included 5 or 6 extra swear words ("balls" become "ears")
- In my memory, the trial scene had "cough cough" dubbed over the Deltas' interjections of "blow job" and "eat me", but re-listening, they're still surprisingly audible. Boon does tell those "jerks" to shut up rather than those "assholes" in this version
- The scene at Katy's house originally ended with a pantsless Donald Sutherland reaching for something in the cupboard, revealing his bare bottom. In this take, he's fully clothed
- Belushi shot more alternate lines to replace "join the fuckin' Peace Corps" and "lyin' around shit"
- Wormer originally asks Marmalard "what the fuck's going on down there?"
- Mrs. Wormer's final line is changed from "You can take your thumb out of my ass anytime now, Carmine" to "You can let go of me anytime now, Carmine"
Here are the alternate scenes, from the end of tape A3, plus Casey Kasem yet again delivering NBC promos over the credits (sorry I didn't tape the tantalizing special that followed, The Women Who Rate a 10):

An amazing session with my colleagues to work around our class sites.
Today I learnt about how to make my class site look more appealing and functional as well.
We looked at other school teachers sites and had a brainstorm on what we liked and what were some of the things that could be improved. The major one I picked for my site was creating a slideshow and putting it on my home page. It was quite challenging and Dorothy and Gerhard assisted me but still there is some work to be done. It's not really perfect but will get there by next week!! I also embedded the timetable on the home page and a beautiful picture of mine with the professional blog link inserted. My site looks much better but in the days ahead I have to do bit of more work.
Here is the screenshot of my class site

The old Dakota Steakhouse has been transformed into Public Kitchen and Bar, a fittingly grand tavern that feels like it's been around forever, serving modern, market-driven cocktails and a robust American menu filled with buttery-soft Parker House rolls, a gigantic pork schnitzel and cloud-like passionfruit trifle.Tim Goodell was the trailblazing chef who introduced pork belly to fine dining in SoCal more than a decade ago, and now he appears to be on a similar mission with chicharrones (fried pig skin), seasoned with chile and a squirt of lime. He's making incredible pâtés and chicken liver terrines. He's stuffing squash blossoms with hatch chiles. He's slathering hefty lamb T-bones with fresh mint pesto. And if there's an agnolotti being offered on the daily specials board, order it. At the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, 7000 Hollywood Blvd., L.A., 323.466.7000

The material used to make the furniture such as the quality of wood, handles, panels and paint can make a big difference to the durability and overall look of the furniture. While Gloss White Bedroom Furniture is known for its design, it is important to ensure that the furniture is tested against standards of quality as the quality of the materials used impacts the safety as well as durability of the furniture.
Things to keep in mind while buying Gloss White Bedroom Furniture
- Safety Testing
One of the most important factors that we often tend to forget while purchasing furniture meant to be used at home is that it should be fire complaint and should meet all the rules and regulations set for domestic furniture. Another key factor is that all key components and labels such as the flammability label should be in place. These labels shouldn't be removed from the furniture, as this information may be important in the case of resale.
- Quality Testing
It is of paramount importance while buying Gloss White Bedroom Furniture to ensure that the quality of all the components used is up to the mark. The quality of white paint used will ensure that the gloss of the furniture remains the same even after repeated usage and through the course of time. A mix of clear and colored tempered glass is often used in combination with gloss white wooden furniture. In such cases, the quality of the tempered glass as well as the durability and strength should be tested.
- Other Features
Bedroom furniture would essentially include chest of drawers of various widths and heights, bedside tables as well as matching desks and dressing tables. Good quality models will have soft close drawers and smooth fixtures. Whiles making a purchase another thing to be kept in mind is whether the furniture is spill proof and if stains can be removed easily from the furniture.

Liverpool youngster Rafael Camacho was part of first-team training on Thursday fresh from his stunning goal against Manchester United in the UEFA Youth League earlier in the week.
Camacho, a Portugal youth international, scored Liverpool under-19s' second goal in the 2-0 win over United in the round of 16 of the European youth tournament on Wednesday.
The 17-year-old was pictured at Melwood on Thursday on the back of Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson.
Curtis Jones was also present at Jurgen Klopp's training session. Jones signed his first professional contract at the start of February.
Meanwhile, Liverpool U18s coach Steven Gerrard admits he is taking time to adjust to the volatile nature of youth management.
The win over Man United in the UEFA Youth League put an end to Gerrard's recent four-game losing run as coach.
"It has been a test, it has been challenging, because things change from the January window as people go out on loan, people move up to Melwood and you don't have the same players you had for the six months," said Gerrard, the former Liverpool and England captain.
"[U23s coach Neil Critchley] has his pick from my players, which I have to accept, and I have the pick from the 16s.
"Some of my players are not ready for 23s, which can be frustrating for Critch, and some of the 16s are maybe not ready for 18s, but it is what happens at academy level so I have to adapt to that.
"If it was my way, I wouldn't let any of them go. I'd want them to compete for the league but that's selfish because players have to get different experiences higher up and players have to go out on loan.
"So it is me who has to adapt to the academy system rather than the players."

Armagh beat Westmeath on Saturday by five points – 1-12 to 1-7, but it was a far from convincing performance from Kieran McGeeney's men.
The Orchard lost Jamie Clarke and James Morgan to black cards in the first half, then Greg McCabe was sent off during the second half.
It was the introduction of Oisin O'Neill, Stefan Campbell and Ethan Rafferty that made the difference, as between them they scored 1-4 to deliver an important victory. The plaudits will go to Ethan Raffety who's goal eased the pressure on the Orchard men.
All in all, it was a ropey performance and one which they will need to improved upon once they play Tipperary this weekend.
There was a mixed reaction on social media:
Good to get the win @Armagh_GAA. Onward to the next round!!

So now I've put 'Jacaranda' up on another site which distributes to all e-publications sites like Barnes and Noble. The other two will follow shortly. It will be interesting to see what the effect on sales is. So if all you lot out there have Kobos or whatever, you should be able to get those three books shortly.

Steve is an open minded, sensitive person and an expert listener. It is clear that his intention is to help people; his thought provoking questions asked through a non-intrusive approach develops trust and a strong rapport with those he works with. Steve is able to foster forward growth through an interactive dialogue that is free from judgement. I believe Steve will be a tremendous asset to all that work with him as a life/ wellness coach.
What clients say
A Better World Starts with Each of Us.
One of the things I've appreciated about the process is your kind, compassionate nature. I've never felt judged and have felt safe to share and explore. You have a nice ability to lead the internal process in a loving and calm way. I've appreciated that you have shared some of your experiences as well.
After 25 years of utilizing many avenues of recovery and personal growth, I'm always pleasantly surprised when I find something that actually works well and brings results. I am seeing results and progress from the short time we have been working together. For me, it has been a process of bringing my unconscious beliefs, thoughts, actions & fears to my conscious awareness. I've appreciated the opportunity to explore the areas of my life that still need to be surrendered so that I can find acceptance and embrace them as a potential gift. The internal process, finding the willingness to surrender and accept, looking at ways I resist, and creating positive action steps have all been beneficial. The shadow belief is also very powerful and is something that has the potential to be truly life changing.
Thanks for being part of my Higher Power's plan to heal my life and to live the life of my dreams!
Susan Kane
I can't say enough good things about my time working with Steve. As a coach, Steve intuitively understood my needs and was able to ensure that the work we did each week would provide the maximum benefit. Steve was able to help me achieve many of my long-held goals–to become more organized, to envision my true potential, and to take steps to achieve the things I've imagined throughout my life. I highly recommend Steve as a life coach. He has a personal history of success and, in his very generous way, is thoughtfully dedicated to helping others write–and live–their own success stories.
Susan Chapman - Professional Freelance Writer / Author
When my world seems confused, my universe seems tilted, 5 minutes of your spirit and words bring things back into focus. You inspire me, and motivate my energy that needs to be fed with positive thoughts. Thank you for being such a solid and true role model.
Gerry Schermerhorn
I met Steve during his amazing journey of healing he writes about in this book. What impressed me most as a Chiropractor and natural health doctor was his desire and passion for finding his healing "inside". You will discover in this wonderful book that the secrets to lifelong healing (not symptom management) all stem from the truth that healing only ever comes when the inside of you (mind, body, and spirit) is balanced and functioning optimally so that you can handle the "outside" forces of life that are responsible for the decay of our health. Steve lays out those secrets in an easy and simple way using his own experiences and includes easy to follow action steps that will make your journey more peaceful and enjoyable.
Dr. Milonas
Steve and I have been friends for over three years. He is a man of many talents and he is highly respected by many people. He enlightens you with his knowledge and his presence. I have participated in many of his meditation classes and I leave with a sense of peace and wellness. He is so full of life and passion that his skills as a life couch come naturally to him. He is a leader of life decisons and is a true professional at everything that he puts his mind to. I would highly recommend him as a life coach!

Phoenix police ID man who was fatally shot after argument
March 11, 2018
PHOENIX (AP) — Police in Phoenix have identified a man who was fatally shot after an argument.
They say 23-year-old Joseph Long King was pronounced dead at the scene of the shooting shortly before midnight Friday.
Police say King had been loudly arguing with a woman in a car and a 29-year-old man and his wife felt compelled to help her.
The man grabbed his handgun before confronting Long, demanding that he stop yelling at the woman.
After Long got out of his car, the man told police he was briefly able to calm him down before Long punched him in the face.
The man then fired at Long, hitting him at least once.
Police haven't identified the shooter as of Sunday and say the incident remains under investigation.

Anderson Amos, a finalist from Project Fame season 9 shared a photo on Instagram where he narrowly missed being crushed to death in his car. It appears a vehicle collided into his car – look at the massive dent on the driver's side – the rearview mirror is dangling, and the door is bent.
The crash occurred last night and he captioned the photo, "There is a God. And he saved me last night"
We are grateful he is alive to share his testimony.

South Okanagan traffic enforcers want to be clear: If you break the rules, you're going to pay for it.
A distracted driving task force made a huge push this weekend in the South Okanagan, with RCMP Traffic Services officers cracking down on drivers using their cellphones or neglecting their seatbelts behind the wheel.
Both overt and covert techniques were employed in marked and unmarked cars throughout the region. Penticton alone had 200 incidents, including 94 seatbelt violations and 54 cellphone violations.
The covert operations included a police surveillance shuttle disguised as a civilian bus. Officers on board scouted passing cars for infractions, and passed the information to nearby squad cars.
"Looking at and using an electronic device while driving is like driving with your eyes closed. We recognize that risk and we're upping our enforcement game to counter," said Cpl. Ryan McLeod, South Okanagan Traffic Services. "Our officers are encouraged to be creative. We are devising new ways to intercept distracted drivers and encourage a change in their behaviour."
Getting caught using an electronic device while behind the wheel means a fine of $368, with potential additional insurance penalties from ICBC. Not wearing a seatbelt costs $167.
In light of the findings from this weekend, the Traffic Services team put together a "tips for drivers" list:
- No call, text or email is so important it's worth risking your life or the lives of others. Let calls go to voicemail and ignore your text messages while driving.
- Turn [your phone] off and put it out of sight or turn on airplane mode to avoid the temptation to check your phone.
- Assign a designated texter. Ask a passenger to make or receive calls for you.
- Use the 'Do Not Disturb While Driving' feature.
As part of this weekend's crackdown, the RCMP also impounded two vehicles for excessive speeding.
Additionally, a driver stopped Friday for not wearing a seatbelt was determined to be under the influence of alcohol and received 90 days probation and a 30-day vehicle impoundment, and another no-seatbelt stop on Saturday led to the capture of a man wanted on an outstanding warrant.

Amalgamated Offers New Service to Non-Profit Clients
Amalgamated Capital, the New York-based commercial finance division of Amalgamated Bank, announced the launch of Non-Profit Funding Advance, a first-of-its-kind service for its growing set of non-profit clients. The new tool, which will allow non-profits to immediately secure funding from state grants they have been awarded, launched this month.
When non-profits are awarded grants from states, they often have to wait to receive the funds they were awarded. Non-Profit Funding Advance gives non-profits access to the bulk of the funds right away so they avoid disruptions and have the funding necessary to operate smoothly.
After a non-profit is awarded a grant from the state, Amalgamated buys the voucher and provides the non-profit with 70 percent of the funds up front. When the state distributes the full amount of the voucher to Amalgamated, the bank then pays the balance to the non-profit, minus a 1% per month fee.
Greg Walker, director of Amalgamated Capital, oversaw the creation and structure of the program.
"Many non-profit clients told us they were facing budget shortfalls because of the wait time associated with receiving voucher funds," said Walker. "In response to these concerns about cash flow, we developed this product to ensure a reliable and consistent source of funding. Retail and manufacturing firms have access to similar services that prevent disruptions and it's essential that we keep vital community programs up and running."
