Former undercover cop says his lies sent people to prison A former undercover police officer has confessed his lies in court more than 30 years ago may have sent 150 people wrongfully to prison. Police said they had started a criminal investigation into the activities of Patrick O'Brien after he wrote to Chief Justice Dame Sian Elias and former Police Commissioner Howard Broad, saying he was racked with guilt after carrying a "dreadful secret" for more than 30 years.
cheap tiffanyMr O'Brien, an undercover officer during drugs operations in the 1970s, was the star witness in court trials but he later confessed he lied on oath every time he testified, the New Zealand Herald reported today. His confession was made in November 2007 and police hired Wellington lawyer Bruce Squire, QC, to investigate. He interviewed Mr O'Brien in July 2009 and reviewed court files, and a copy of his completed inquiry was now with police.
cheap tiffany and coDetective Inspector Bruce Scott, of Waitemata CIB, emailed Mr O'Brien last week asking if there was any other information he had which "may assist me in determining any criminal liability, or are there other persons that you consider need to be spoken to that could assist an inquiry relating to these matters"? Mr O'Brien told the newspaper he would co-operate fully with the inquiry and plead guilty to any charges. tiffany uk
In his confession, he said he could not guess the number of people who were sent to prison because of his lies because he stopped counting arrests at 150, half-way through his three-year undercover stint. He lied to the courts and juries to get convictions in every case, he said. As well, he was often high on drugs, including cannabis, cocaine, heroin and LSD -- but never during trials. cheap tiffany and co jewelry
Tampering with evidence was common and exhibits before the court were often not the drugs he had bought from the target. However, the shame and stress of the work broke him and he resigned and fled New Zealand, "haunted, traumatised and scared". His life had since been a tragic waste and he had never lost the demons that "rush around in my head." Mr O'Brien was an undercover police officer from 1974 to 1977. tiffany uk shop
tiffany & co outletJeffersonville High School students get nursing certificates Jeffersonville High School graduated its first class of Certified Nursing Assistants on Thursday. In its first year, the partnership between the high school and Norton Healthcare trained 11 juniors and seniors, nine of whom already have passed the state licensing exam that will allow them to work in the field. tiffany and co outlet
Two more will take the exam Friday. Brittany Lewis, 17, a graduate of the class, said that now “I'm a CNA like my mother.” Brittany, who will be a senior at Jeffersonville High School this fall, said she is pleased she has been able to get her CNA certificate free of charge while still in high school. “I'm proud of her,” said Rochelle Hardin, Brittany's mother. She also appreciates her daughter having the opportunity to get her CNA certificate while in high school. Kim Tharp-Barrie, a vice president of the Norton Healthcare Institute for Nursing and Workforce Development, who taught the Jeffersonville High School program, said she is thrilled with the results of the first year.
tiffany jewelry outletSeveral students have been admitted to universities to continue their medical training, some with scholarships from the Norton Health Care Foundation. Tharp-Barrie said she believes the program, which is receiving $25,000 a year for three years from the Norton Healthcare Foundation, willhelp meet the need for nurses and other medical professionals. Experts are predicting that 600,000 more nurses will be need in the United States by 2016 as the population ages, Tharp-Barrie said. Jeffersonville High principal Jim Sexton said 40 students have signed up for the CNA program for next year. tiffany outlet
While such training is available from the Prosser School of Technology, which provides vocational courses for the region's students, Sexton said many students prefer taking such a class at their own high school. He said he also is excited about the possibilities the Norton partnership could open for his students. Brittany said she got interested in nursing after seeing her mother work as a nursing assistant and after helping to take care of her 82-year-old great-grandmother. She said she loved the class, which provided classroom and simulated clinical training. tiffany rings
The students took the CNA class for the last two periods of their school days, sometimes traveling to other sites for training, Brittany said. It sometimes was difficult to manage the course while maintaining other, traditional classes, but it was worth the effort, she said. She's looking for work as a nursing assistant this summer, but many employers require their CNAs to be at least 18, Brittany said. If she can't work in the field this summer, she's confident she will find a job in December. She earned five college credits through the CNA course, and ultimately, she hopes to become a pediatrician. tiffany earrings
Pandora Charms BraceletsIndonesia to stop sending maids to Saudi over beheading AFP JAKARTA (AFP) – Indonesia will suspend sending domestic helpers to Saudi Arabia after the beheading of a maid convicted of murdering her Saudi employer, a minister said on Wednesday. "The Indonesian government has decided to impose a moratorium on sending workers to Saudi Arabia," Labour Minister Muhaimin Iskandar was quoted by state news agency Antara as saying. The report did not provide further details but local media indicated the move was aimed at domestic workers, who make up about 70 percent of the 1.2 million Indonesian workers in the Gulf state.
Cheap Pandora JewelryThe suspension will take effect on August 1 and will remain until the Saudi government agrees to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to protect Indonesian workers' rights, Iskandar said. Parliament on Tuesday urged the government to stop sending workers overseas without agreements to guarantee their rights, while key members of President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's cabinet have been forced to quit over the persistent abuse of Indonesian migrant workers abroad. Saudi Arabia apologised earlier Wednesday for failing to inform Indonesia of the Saturday beheading with a sword of migrant worker Ruyati binti Sapubi, 54, while Jakarta formally protested to Riyadh over the execution.

Saudi Ambassador Abdurrahman bin Mohammed Al-Khayyat conveyed his country's apologies during a meeting with Indonesia's Foreign Minister Marty Natalegawa, at which Natalegawa submitted a letter of protest to his Saudi counterpart. "The ambassador apologised and regretted the situation and said that such a thing wouldn't happen again in future," foreign ministry spokesman Michael Tene said. Indonesia recalled its ambassador to Riyadh earlier this week for consultations. Migrant worker Ruyati binti Sapubi, 54, was executed on Saturday after she was convicted of murdering her Saudi employer, Khairiya bint Hamid Mijlid, with a meat cleaver. The maid carried out the killing after she was denied permission to leave the kingdom and return to her family in Indonesia, according to officials in Jakarta. Pandora Jewelry
In a second case, a court in the Saudi capital Riyadh had sentenced Indonesian maid Darsem to death for murdering her Yemeni employer in December 2007 in what she called an act of self-defence as the employer had tried to rape her. Indonesian officials had said she could escape the sentence if she received pardon from the family, who forgave her in January on the condition that she pays the compensation or "diyat" of two million riyals ($533,000). The Indonesian government will pay the compensation ahead of July's deadline, Tene said. "The full amount has been transferred to the Indonesian embassy in Riyadh and a team from the Foreign Ministry will be flying there tonight to oversee the payment process. We hope her life will be spared," he said. The women's cases are the latest in a string of incidents involving Indonesian menial labourers in the Middle East. Human rights groups say workers from countries such as Indonesia, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka underpin the Gulf states' economies but face extreme forms of exploitation. Pandora Charms

Centenary is the world’s biggest loose diamond without blemish. It took almost three years to cut that 273.85 carat diamond, which is also fitted in British crown now. People often make mistake when it comes to size, shape and weight of loose diamond. tiffany charms
If we have two diamonds having same weight then it comes to its shape and style how it is cut. The diamond which is cut perfectly will look bigger. One thing more, it is not so that the price of two carat diamond is equal to two pieces of one carat diamond. The prices of one two carat diamond will be more because it is in one piece and bigger. Larger loose diamonds usually have low density of occurrence but have large demand in market as compared to small sized loose diamonds of same type. Hence they are higher in prices. Its is also true that in order to get diamond cut in your own customize style you should have a large piece of loose diamond which is so seldom to find hence it costs more.

tiffany pendants There is a famous saying that “diamonds are forever,” first I used to think that as diamonds are expensive gems so the owner will take good care of it and will not let it get damaged. Loose diamonds are not only the part of jewelry but are your life time investment. Four C’s should be kept in mind when you go to buy a diamond. Firstly ‘Carat’, means how much carat diamond it is. Secondly ‘Cut’ means which style of cut it has and how perfectly and neatly it is being cut. More cuts it have more light it will reflect and look shiny. Most rated cut is “round”. You should have round cut to have maximum reflection. Third is ‘clarity’. Diamonds also have natural marks, like other gems so that they can be recognized, known as inclusions. These inclusions can be seen easily with naked eye. These marks decrease the shine of diamonds and also decrease its value and beauty. And in last ‘Color’. Some diamonds naturally have shades of yellow color in them. Diamond which is clear will reflect more light and look shinier. Setting of the diamond also has great impact on the shine of diamond.

The Gemological Institute of America established the 4 Cs of diamond worth to assist diamond experts describe and classify diamonds. tiffany bracelet
When taken collectively, the four Cs assist in evaluating a finished diamond. Color A lot of men and women assume of diamonds as colorless, but in reality, actually colorless diamonds are really uncommon. Most diamonds utilized in jewelry are practically colorless with faint yellow or brown tints. Such virtually colorless diamonds fall inside the regular color range and are graded by their relative lack of color. The truth is, a diamond that is certainly deemed to have “fine color” has small or no visible coloration. The grading method ranges from color “D,” which indicates a rare colorless diamond, to color “Z,” with yellow characteristics. Diamonds outside the regular color range are referred to as ???fancy-colored??à and can be found in virtually any color imaginable. Red and green are the rarest fancy colors, followed by purple, violet, blue, orange and pink. tiffany necklace
Yellow and greenish-yellow diamonds are far more frequent, but nonetheless considerably rarer than diamonds inside the standard color range. Clarity Like color, clarity is actually a crucial issue in figuring out a diamond’s worth. Diamonds have internal capabilities called ???inclusions,??à also as surface irregularities, termed ???blemishes.??à With each other, inclusions and blemishes are known as clarity characteristics. Clarity may be the relative absence of clarity characteristics. Blemishes refer towards the cuts or nicks on the outside of the diamond, whilst inclusions take place inside the diamond, like mineral crystals trapped inside the diamond. While some clarity characteristics could have a damaging influence on diamond value, some can possess a positive impact at the same time. Firstly, they aid gemologists separate diamonds from lab-created diamond simulants. Secondly, due to the fact no two diamonds have exactly exactly the same inclusions, they can help determine person stones. And thirdly, they offer scientists with important details about how diamonds are formed. tiffany men's necklace
Cut Many believe of cut as the shape and style of a polished diamond, but it also refers to a value element ?§C the proportions, symmetry and finish of a diamond, often referred to as “make” within the diamond trade. A diamond having a “good make” is vivid, fiery, symmetrical and sparkles using the light. There’s far more than one particular way of cutting a diamond to create the most of its optical properties. Cutting a diamond to create the maximum return of light depends on the romantic relationship in between 3 vital proportions ?§C table size, crown angle and pavilion depth. Jewelry makers can combine these inside a variety of methods to yield equally brilliant round brilliant cut diamonds. Bottom line: a well-cut diamond will direct a lot more light via the crown, or best with the diamond. Carat Weight The carat weight of a diamond has to complete with all the standard measuring unit of diamonds. tiffany necklace silver
A single carat equals .200 grams (or 200 milligrams) Some weights are deemed “magic sizes” ?§C half carat, three-quarter carat. Whilst visually there is small difference between a 0.99 carat diamond and a single that weighs a full carat, the price differences amongst the two can be significant. The aspect of carat weight that surprises individuals is the romantic relationship between rarity, weight and worth. It’s not constantly straightforward to know why a 2-carat diamond may be worth more than twice as significantly as a 1-carat diamond of related clarity, cut and color. The concept is rather simple: Big diamonds are rarer than tiny diamonds. The scarcer a diamond is, the larger its worth. So a larger stone doesn??￥t just cost much more, it also charges more per carat. tiffany necklace white gold

There is a growing demand for coconut shell powder and powder activated carbon in the global market, mostly the demand are meet by India and southeastern countries. The porous carbon materials in various forms, such as activated carbon fibers play a key role in many industries, particularly those related with environmental concerns. These activated carbon fibers which are used in the building of structures like buildings and vehicles mostly grab toxic compounds from the water and air, thereby reducing pollution. Therefore, there is a great demand for activated carbon suppliers in the global market. Impregnated activated carbon is predominantly used in the gas purification, catalysis and civil and military gas protection.
tiffany pendantsGranular activated carbon has a relatively very larger particle size in comparison with powdered activated carbon and therefore, presents a smaller external surface. These carbons are mostly preferred for adsorption of gases and vapors as generally their rate of diffusion are much faster. Granulated carbons are commonly used for deodorization, water treatment and separation of components of flow system. Activated carbon pellets is made especially for use in a vapor applications. The product is highly double screened and de-dusted in the normal process and prior to packaging to assure a very clean, hard, dust free product with long service lifespan.
