Interplay of Corporate Veil With Benami Law
Priyanka Singhalp
A. CORPORATE VEIL
Although a corporation is a legal fiction forming a separate legal entity, in reality, it is an association of persons who are the real beneficiaries. Therefore, the veil of a corporation can be used by their underlying beneficiaries to commit frauds or such other illegal acts keeping their self-interest in mind against company interest. In certain circumstances of this nature, where it would be illogical to impose liability upon the company, an artificial entity, the corporate veil is lifted to identify the persons committing such acts who use the corporate entity as a mask. There are two aspects i.e. Judicial and Statutory which can help to lift the corporate veil
B. BENAMI TRANSACTION
Benami transaction is a transaction or arrangement whereby the identity of real owner (beneficial owner) of property is concealed by showing someone else (benamidar) as owner on record. The beneficial owner provides or pays consideration for purchase of property.
Two condition must be fulfilled to show a transaction as Benami Transaction as mentioned below:
1. Provider of consideration is third person who has immediate or future interest in that property i.e. other than the transferee viz. beneficial owner, and
2. Name on records as owner is of some other person i.e. other than beneficial owner benamidar
For example, one person receives as offer "Here is my Rupees one crore in old Rs. 500/Rs. 1000 notes. Keep it deposited in your bank account for 3 months. Enjoy the interest on it. Return me my Rupees one crore in new notes after 3 months". This is a benami transaction if person accept such offer.
2. Main Concept
There may be situation where a director or any other person of company may make any Benami/Fraudulent transaction by using the name of company.
We know, company has a separate legal entity. Any activity good or bad done by a company should be treated as an activity of that particular company. Hence Liabilities lie on the shoulder of such company. And the person who had made benami/fraudulent transaction is enable to hide himself behind the shield of the concept of "company is a Separate Legal Entity".
Here the concept of "lifting of corporate veil" comes to identify the real offender who misuse this corporate entity.
Below cases can give an explicit elaboration of corporate veil with Benami Law:
There is company, say M/s H Ltd. having four immovable properties where source of investment prima facie is fictitious/shell concern. During the search and seizure operation conducted under section 132 of the Income tax Act 1961, certain material and incrementing documents were seized which reflects that share capital of M/s H Ltd. was raised from different shell company through bogus and fabricated financial transactions. As original shareholders of the company were in the nature of shell companies controlled and managed by infamous entry operator. Subsequently M/s H Ltd. has invested the money raised through the bogus shell company in immovable property.
In above case, it is evident from the fact and circumstances that the consideration related to the transaction is provided by another person's i.e. shell companies and it is held for future benefit of another person's i.e. shell companies whose identity is not known. It is therefore concluded that the said condition satisfies the definition of Benami transaction u/s 2(9) of The Prohibition of Benami Property Transaction Act. Therefore, in the given case, M/s H Ltd. shall be considered as benamidar and as shareholder of the company are fictitious entity, beneficial owner is yet to be identified.
Also, authority shall lift the fictional identity of shell companies to pierce the inner working of the shell company and shareholders behind the entity to find the real owner/beneficial owner of the immovable property.
ABC Pvt. Ltd. was incorporated by two shareholders. The share transfer certificates were signed by the first shareholders in the name of Mr. A & Mrs. A. The first director was replaced by three directors — Mr. X, Mrs. Y, and Mr. Z on the same day of share transfer. Mr. A gave an unsecured loan to the company. The company purchased the land by using the proceeds from unsecured loan. Since, it was a piece of agricultural land during the time of representation, Mr. Z himself an agriculturist. Accordingly, the additional collector allowed the purchase of the land on condition that it would be used for farming within three years.
Later on, Mr. N was appointed director of the company in place of Mr. Z. The only source of income of the company was by way of the loan advanced by Mr. A to his company. Mr. A had applied for purchasing agricultural land for farming, but instead constructed a farmhouse there for personal use. Even lives in that farm house without paying any rent to the company.
In above Case, it is evident from the facts and circumstances that the consideration for the land purchased is provided by Mr. A for his immediate or future benefit. However, land is registered on the name of company. It is therefore concluded that the said condition satisfies the definition of Benami transaction u/s 2(9) of The Prohibition of Benami Property Transaction Act. Therefore, in the given case, M/s ABC Ltd. shall be considered as benamidar and Mr. A as beneficial owner.
Also, authority shall lift the fictional identity of the company to pierce the inner working of the company and shareholders behind the entity to consider the Mr. A as real owner/beneficial owner of the land.
It may be observed that simultaneous proceedings in Income Tax Act and The Prohibition of Benami Property transaction Act are possible. Therefore, Income tax may be charge under section 68 of Income tax Act, 1961 and simultaneous proceeding may be initiated under section 60 of The Prohibition of Benami Property transaction Act.

Ankor-Wat, Cambodia: Travel/Tourist Information Guide
Angkor Wat is the most famous site in Cambodia, and probably the entire Southeast Asia. Angkor Wat is actually one of the temples found at the Angkor Archaeological Park, which includes the remains of the different capitals of the Khmer Empire, from the 9th to the 15th century.
The site is enlisted in the UNESCO World Heritage List, and has been voted repeatedly as one of the new wonders of the world; it is also known as the 7th Wonder of the World. Angkor Wat is by far the largest religious monument in the world. Its significance for the Cambodian people is perhaps best seen on the state flag, where it stands as the coat of arms.
Getting to Angkor Wat
The archaeological site of Angkor Wat, extending over approximately 400 square kilometers, is located in Cambodia's northern province of Siem Reap, around 7 kilometers north of the city of Siem Reap. There are numerous tours organized to Angkor Wat from all over the country, and getting here is facilitated by the good quality of the roads. Getting here from Siem Reap, for example, takes around 15 minutes. From Phnom Penh, it takes only 40 minutes to arrive here by plane, which lands at the Siem Reap International Airport, the busiest in Cambodia. There are 6 daily flights from Phnom Penh, as of 2016, and many more arriving to Siem Reap from all over the Southeast Asia, and even wider.
Exploring Angkor Wat
As we mentioned before, Angkor Wat is a huge site, which consist of temples such as Angkor Wat, the Bayon, Preah Khan and Ta Proh, dykes, reservoirs, canals, a moat, etc. The Khmer King Suryavarman, had first dedicated to the Hindu God Vishnu, but it later transformed into the sacred Buddhist site. Its many temples give it the reputation, as well as its very name; Angkor Wat translates as "City of Temples" from Khmer.
The entire site represents a mix of the temple mountain architecture, common for the Khmer people, and concentric galleries built around temples. The temple is a representation of Mount Meru, the home of the gods for the Khmer people. The central quincunx of towers symbolizes the five peaks of the mountain, and the walls and moat symbolize the surrounding mountain ranges and ocean. The height of Angkor Wat from the ground to the top of the central tower is 213 meters. Covered galleries with columns define the boundaries of the first and second levels. The third level supports five towers; four in the corners and one in the middle- this is what first comes to mind when thinking of Angkor Wat.
The outer wall, which is 1,024 m long and 4.5 m high, is surrounded by a 30 m platform of open ground and a 190 m wide moat.
The Gallery of Bas-reliefs, surrounding the first level of Angkor Wat, contains 1,200 square meters of sandstone carvings. The bas-reliefs are divided into eight sections, two on each wall of the square gallery, with each section depicting a specific theme. Themes for the bas-reliefs derive from two main sources-Indian epics and sacred books and warfare of the Angkor Period.
The West Gallery depicts the Battle of Kurukshetra, the main subject of the Hindu epic Mahabharata. The bas-reliefs in the southwest Corner Pavilion depict scenes from the epic Ramayana.
The South Gallery depicts triumphal procession from a battle between the Khmers, led by King Suryavarman II, and their enemies, while the East Gallery, probably the most famous one, derives from the Indian epic Bagavata-Pourana.
The West Gallery is dedicated to the battle between Rama and the demon king Ravana, which has 10 heads and 20 arms, which took place in Sri Lanka and was described in the Ramayana. This battle is depicted near the center of the Gallery.
Finally, the North Gallery depicts the battle between Krishna and Bana, the Demon King.
Interestingly, the Angkor Archaeological Park is inhabited by the local Khmer villagers, who still practice rice cultivation in the area. Most of the inhabitants living here are direct descendants of the Khmer who lived here during the Angkor period.
All things considered, this mysterious and iconic site is definitely a must-see in Cambodia. A nice idea might be booking one of many tours to the surrounding villages, where Khmer people still practice the same traditional ways of their famous ancestors.

OCT-NOV 01
In the quest to bring Osama bin Laden to justice, the option must be given strong consideration: capturing him, then taking him before an international tribunal. However unlikely, especially given our president's call to bring him back "dead or alive," bolstering the forces of international justice, not strengthening the hand of U.S.-led global policing, must be the clear aim of the coming actions. Such a goal is ultimately no more quixotic than the idea that terrorism can be eliminated by military action alone.
If pursued successfully, the trial of bin Laden could hearken back to Nuremberg or follow the more recent prosecution of Milosevic. Summon international outrage against the accused, which in this case means emphasizing the views of moderate voices from within the Arab and Muslim worlds. And let the accused have a say in court: here the U.S. could shock the world by actually giving a hearing to the resentments of the region that extremists like bin Laden and his followers have capitalized on. Let him discuss U.S. policy in Iraq and elsewhere, but at the same time grill him on the positions of the Taliban and other fundamentalist regimes.
The forces of world opinion will continue to condemn bin Laden's evil actions, but the U.S. must now earn global respect for its policies in the Gulf region and Central Asia. Unilateral pursuits, in particular long-term presences in Pakistan and Afghanistan, will not do so. Operation Infinite Justice, perhaps, should be renamed Operation International Law.
DEMOCRACY MUST CONTINUE
The Brooklyn Rail joins in the widespread approval of Mayor Giuliani's handling of the current crisis. Along with the city's fire and police departments, as well as its thousands of rescue workers and various medical staff, Giuliani deserves a sincere thank you for an ongoing job well done. In the mayor's case, however, such skill in the hour of need cannot be treated as a rational for negotiating the will of voters regarding term limits.
As a non-profit organization, the Brooklyn Rail, Inc. cannot endorse any candidates for political office. We can state, however, that we believe strongly in the democratic process, and that we encourage high voter turnout in every election. As mayor during the "prosperous" past eight years, Giuliani on far too many occasions proved quite willing to crackdown on free speech, freedom of expression, and the belief that one is innocent before being proved guilty. With ominous signs of national assaults on such freedoms already upon us—particularly given the racial profiling and detention of Arab-Americans—it is essential for New Yorkers to rally behind the Constitution. Voting in the upcoming elections is a good way to start.
Hank Willis Thomas & For Freedoms: Another Justice: US is Them
For Freedoms aspires to engage the arts as a means of helping people reconsider how we as a people view and mete out justice. It's a huge sweeping mission, but one that the exhibition, Another Justice: US is Them—Hank Willis Thomas & For Freedoms (US refers to the United States) manages to distill to intimate size and scale.
Charles Gaines: Moving Chains
"The question is simply this: Can a negro, whose ancestors were imported into this country, and sold as slaves, become a member of the political community formed and brought into existence by the Constitution of the United States, and as such become entitled to all the rights, and privileges, and immunities, guarantied by that instrument to the citizen?" This question lies at the heart of the majority opinion written by the US Chief Justice Taney in the Supreme Court's 1857 ruling on the Dred Scott v. Sandford Case. And on the shores of Governor's Island Charles Gaines asks this question again.
Accra Shepp's Radical Justice: Lifting Every Voice
JUNE 2022 | Art Books
The book brings together photographic portraits of people protesting in Zuccotti Park during the Occupy Wall Street movement in Lower Manhattan in 2011 and the racial justice protests across New York City throughout the summer of 2020, filling critical gaps in the narrative around the haves and have-nots.
INCONVERSATION
Laddie John Dill with Michael Straus
NOV 2022 | Art
Laddie John Dill is an LA based artist who was at the forefront of the "Light and Space" movement in the late sixties. In 1971 he had his first solo show at Ileana Sonnabend's gallery in New York City. Since then Dill's work has been shown and celebrated internationally. Early in the fall Michael Straus spoke with Dill on the occasion of the artist's exhibition at Malin Gallery.

Introduction to Making Expense Claims Print
Modified on: Sun, 15 Nov, 2020 at 8:24 AM
This chapter is designed to explain how you make a claim for the reimbursement of expenses. You will also be taken through the facilities available to help you the monitor the progress of expense claims that that you have submitted for payment.
After reading this chapter you will be able to:
Make an Expenses Claim
Monitor the status of your expenses claims
Respond to rejected Expense Claims
It is assumed that to be able to make an expenses claim that you have viewed the "Easy Manual - Introduction to Easy".
The EASY system receives regular downloads of data from the NHS Electronic Staff Record (ESR), and it is this data that provides the background record that enables you to quickly complete a claim for the reimbursement of mileage and other expenses.
Expenses Workflow
The following diagram shows the processes involved when you of complete an expenses claim. While the processes involved are performed electronically, they follow the basic model of a paper based system where expense claims are authorised by your manager and actioned by the Payroll Department.
Making an Expenses Claim
The whole process of making and monitoring the progress of expense claims is accessed through Self Service Expenses screen. To display the Self Service Expenses page, you click on the Expenses link that appears under the Self Service heading in the Navigation menu.
Your name and current assignment will normally appear in the list box at the top of the Self Service Expenses screen. When the list box does not show your name, this normally indicates that you have more than one assignment (job). You will need to click on the list box to select the job (assignment) in which you incurred the expenses that you wish to claim reimbursement for.
Once you have selected the appropriate assignment, the screen will show your assignment information (Job and Base) as well as the current progress with any expense claims for that assignment. You can expand and collapse the sections by clicking on the header to focus on the entries you wish to view.
We will cover each of these sections in more detail later in this chapter.
The View Archived Claims is explained later in this guide.
Assignment Information
This section is designed to provide you with details of the information held on the Electronic Staff Record System (ESR) in relation to your assignment (Job). If you have multiple assignments, then this information may change depending on the assignment you selected.
Important Note - This information is essential and is used to calculate any adjustments to mileage claimed so it is essential that you check the information is correct. Any errors should be notified to your manager for investigation. If you change your home address, you should not claim expenses until the change has been reflected in ESR otherwise any adjustment calculations may be incorrect.
To make a claim for expenses, you will need to click on the Add/Edit button at the top right-hand side of the Unsubmitted Claims section to open the New Claims screen.
The New Claims screen has two sections covering Mileage Claims and Other Claims respectfully. The following looks at these sections in greater detail.
Mileage Claims
This section is designed to enable you to claim the appropriate mileage allowance whenever you use a vehicle on official business.
The Mileage Claims section has a blank row to enable you to start entering your claim for mileage reimbursement.
There are several fields and icons that are used in the process and these are explained in more detail below.
This is the date that the journey occurred on. You can either enter the date in the field or select the date from the calendar that appears when you click on the date picker icon on the right-hand side of the field. While the date can be entered using different input formats, e.g. dd/mm/yy, dd-mm-yy or dd.mm.yy, it will be displayed in an easy to read format, e.g. 01 Jan 2010.
Expense Type
The list of expense types available varies according to your job and whether you are registered as a vehicle user. The correct selection of the expense type will enable correct payment.
For certain expense types you are required to specify the vehicle that you used for the journey. This is usually the case for the Business Miles expense type because the rate paid is based upon the vehicle's engine size. Click on the Vehicle list box to select the vehicle that you used. If your vehicle is not there you need to have it registered.
The PTR Miles expense type is a unified rate, and normally you are not required to specify which vehicle was used. In which case, the Vehicle list box will be disabled (dark Grey).
Ward / Department
This allows you to select an alternative area where the cost of the expense should go. This will direct this part of the claim to the manager responsible for the chosen Ward / Department.
Alternative Base
This allows the user to select an alternative base. This is used when the user has two different bases.
Journey Reason
For certain expense types you may be required to provide a reason for the journey, e.g. Clinical Visit or Trust Meeting. This has no impact on your payment but is used for reporting and clarification purposes. Select the most appropriate journey reason.
Journey Start and End
The journey start and end fields are controlled by selecting from the list box on the left-hand side of the field. Here is what the items represent (note that not all these may be available to you):
Base – when you select this icon your designated work base will appear in the adjoining field.
Location – this indicates that you wish to select a location within the Trust, i.e. a hospital site or clinic. When you select location the magnifying glass icon will appear to indicate that you can search the locations available. By clicking on the magnifying glass icon a separate window appears with the list of Trust locations.
Post Code – when you select this icon it indicates to the system that you wish to enter a UK post code, and the field to the right of the icon list box will become enabled to allow you to enter the post code.
Home – selecting this icon will display your home post code in the field to the right of the icon list box.
Odometer Reading – this indicates to the system that you wish to enter the odometer (mileometer) reading for the start and end of your journey.
Favourite Places - You can select one of your saved favourite places. See near the end of the guide for more information on favourite places.
The EASY system is able to use the post code of the start/end location to obtain the distance involved.
The Mileage column has two mileage fields, the top one is the Calculated Mileage field and the bottom one is the Claimed Mileage field. The following sections explain how they operate.
Calculated Mileage
The system checks the options selected in the Journey Start/End fields to determine how it should calculate the mileage for the journey.
Where the Odometer Reading is entered it is simply a case of deducting the start reading from the end reading.
For all other journeys, the system will use the start/end post code to determine the distance. The system will obtain mileage using one of the following methods:
By checking the internal journey matrix. The Trust may have agreed distances between locations within the Trust or other local NHS organisations, and the matrix for these journeys can be stored within the system.
By obtaining the distance from Google Maps. The system will pass the start and end post codes to Google Maps to obtain the distance based on the quickest route.
The calculated mileage is used as the baseline by the system when checking that the mileage claimed is within the Trust's designated limits.
Claimed Mileage
The system will populate this field with the calculated mileage. However, this figure can be amended should the distance involved be higher or lower than the calculated mileage.
The figure entered in this field will be checked against the calculated mileage to ensure that the difference between the two is within the designated limits of the Trust.
No. of Pass
This is the number of other employees or members of an NHS organisation that were conveyed in the same vehicle while on NHS business. By entering the number of passengers in this field you are claiming the passenger allowance for that journey.
Heavy Equip.
If you are claiming for the carriage of heavy equipment under your terms and conditions for the journey, you need to tick this box.
At the end of a mileage claim row there are a number of icons that perform the following actions:
Add Row – by selecting this icon a blank row is added above the current row to enable you to enter the details of a new journey.
Additional Information – when you select this icon a text box appears to enable you to provide additional information in support of your claim, e.g. the additional mileage claimed may be the result of a road closure, or details of the passenger(s) being claimed for.
The icon is used to indicate that you have provided additional information in support of this claim.
Continue Journey – using this icon pre-fills a new row with most of the values from the current row so that it can be used as a continuation of the current journey, e.g. where you are returning to base or travelling on to another location.
View Map – selecting this icon will obtain the journey's route using Google Maps.
Return Journey – selecting this icon completes a new row with the return journey details.
Clear this Row - This just clears the entries on this row.
Other Claims
The Other Claims section enables you to claim for the reimbursement of expenses and charges necessarily incurred whilst on official business.
The Other Claims section has a blank row to enable you to start entering your claim for these expenses.
The fields and icons that are used in this process are explained in more detail below.
Date Start/End
This is the date(s) on which the expense was incurred. In the case of an overnight stay, for example, you would enter the arrival and departure dates in the start and end date fields respectively.
You can either enter the date in the field or select the date from the calendar that appears when you click on the date picker icon on the right-hand side of the field. While the date can be entered using different input formats, e.g. dd/mm/yy, dd-mm-yy or dd.mm.yy, it will be displayed in an easy to read format, e.g. 01 Jan 2010.
The list of expense types available may vary according to your job or some other factor. For example, the Telephone Calls expense type may only appear if you provide on-call cover and you are entitled to claim the reimbursement of calls made on their own telephone while supporting a call.
This functionality is currently not used by the Organisation.
This is the figure that you wish to claim for payment in respect of the expense incurred.
Where this field has a white background or icons next to the field, either at the side or underneath, that indicates that this type of expense claim normally requires you to provided proof of the expenditure. How this field looks and operates will depend on how your employer has chosen to have the system configured. In some cases you may be required to indicate if you have Forwarded the receipt to your manager or Attached a file containing a photograph or scan of the receipt. In the situation where the only option available is to attach a receipt, the field will be similar to the image displayed as shown below.
The function of the icons is as follows:
is used to add a new receipt. When you click on the icon the following screen will appear.
You should click on the Choose File button to select the file or document containing the receipt. If you wish, you can use the Additional Info field to make a comment to remind yourself what the document contains. Click on the Submit button to upload the receipt to the system.
is used to search for a receipt that has been uploaded to EASY previously. By clicking on the icon the screen shown below will be displayed.
Select the file/document that contains the relevant receipt.
Clicking on this icon will remove the file that has been added or selected in error.
At the end of other claim row there are a number of icons that perform the following actions:
Additional Information – when you select this icon a text box appears to enable you to provide additional information in support of your claim.
Repeat Claim – using this icon pre-fills a new row with most of the values from the current row. By using the current row as a template for the next claim item it is hoped that the number of keystrokes will be kept to a minimum. For example, if you incurred car park charges on two separate occasions you could use the fill down but may only need to amend the date or amount.
Entering Claims
As you start to enter claims you will become familiar with what each field and icon does.
You will notice that when you select items from lists the full description is not visible; this is due to the limited space available on the screen. However, when you hover over the field with the mouse pointer the full text of the field appears below the pointer.
You may even encounter some new icons, and one of these is shown on the sample screen above. The exclamation icon indicates that a warning condition has been triggered, which in this case means that the number of miles claimed (or amount claimed) is considered to be higher than would be expected even though it is still below the maximum allowable. This can be saved, but an explanation should be provided and once saved this will change to T.B.D (To Be Determined) in the payable column. See Below.
There may be occasions when an error icon appears. This indicates that the value claimed exceeds the maximum allowed by the Organisation. Whenever this type of icon appears you must correct the amount claimed before the system will allow you to save the screen. If you hover over the icon it will indicate the maximum allowable. Note that you cannot save this screen until you correct this amount.
When you are finished entering all the claim items, you can use the Save button at the top right-hand side of the screen to save what you have done and add more items later. Alternatively, you can submit your claim to your manager for authorisation by clicking on the Submit button that is at the top right-hand side of the screen. For Internet Explorer users, the Submit button will not be available where a receipt has been attached to a claim.
Editing a Claim
Once you have saved a claim (not submitted) it remains available for editing.
You can select the item you wish to edit by clicking in the box at the left of the item then clicking the Add/Edit Button.
The Reset button will remove any items that have been entered since the screen was last saved.
For now we will assume that you have saved the screen, and that you are back on the Self Service Expenses screen.
Unsubmitted Expense Claims
Once you have saved the items that you entered on the Claims screen you will be returned to the Self Service Expenses screen. You will see that the claim items that you saved now appear in the Unsubmitted Claims section.
Depending on your terms and Conditions of service, some claims may need adjustments made to them. In this case you will see T.B.D. in the Payable column. Once submitted you will be able to view the adjustment reason. (See below under submitted claims).
At the top right-hand side of the Unsubmitted Claims there are three buttons. The Add/Edit button takes you the Claims screen where you add new claims or change any of the items that you have entered previously.
The Withdraw and Submit buttons are used in conjunction with tick boxes on the left of the claim item row. If you select the Withdraw button, you are in effect removing the claim items marked with a tick from the claims process altogether. To verify that you are certain that you wish to withdraw the claim items marked, the following message will be displayed.
The process of submitting your expense claims here follows the same process if you had selected the Submit button on the Claims screen. As part of the submission process you are required to verify your claim by completing the Expenses Declaration which will look similar to the one shown below.
You will need to put a tick in the box that is part of the Declaration by Claimant, and enter the required characters from your security word. When you select the Submit button, an email will be sent to your manager and the submitted claims will now appear in the Submitted Claims section on the Self Service Expenses screen.
Submitted Expense Claims
Often there is a time lag between you submitting your expense claims and your manager processing these claims. During that period, you have the opportunity of amending claim items or withdrawing them from the claims process.
To amend claim items, you must put a tick in the box at the left of the claim item row and select the Unsubmit button. This will move the claim item(s) back into the Unsubmitted Claims section using the Add/Edit button to take you to the Claims screen.
You can view the actual amount that is payable net of any adjustments and also the reason for the adjustment by clicking on the adjustment tab.
Accepted Expense Claims
Depending upon the way in which your organisation operates, certain expense types may require final approval by the Payroll/Finance Department after your manager has authorised your expense claim(s). If an expense item does not need to be approved by the Finance Department, it will be deemed to be accepted. Once expense claim(s) have been accepted they are moved from the Submitted Claims Section to the Accepted Claims section, which ensures that you are aware of their current status.
The accepted claims can be stored in your own expense claim archive by selecting the Archive button on the top right-hand side of the Accepted Claims section. If you need to refer back to an expense claim, you can do so by selecting the View Archived Claims button at the top right-hand side of the screen.
Once an expense claim has been accepted it goes into a queue waiting to be extracted in the next payment run.
Rejected Expense Claims
If for some reason your manager or the Finance Department have rejected an expense claim, you will receive an email and the rejected claims will appear in the Rejected Claims section.
To view the reason why the claim was rejected you will need to click on the exclamation icon on the right of the claim item row. You can then elect to unsubmit the claim item, which will give you the opportunity of making a change or adding a comment to the claim before resubmitting the claim (Edit). Alternatively, you can withdraw the claim items that are marked with a tick by selecting the Withdraw button. This deletes the item.
Archived Expense Claims
As mentioned earlier, you can archive expense claims that have been accepted. To view the Claims History screen, you would select the View Archived Claims button at the top right-hand side of the Self Service Expense screen.
The expense claims are grouped according to the month and year to which they relate. You can expand and collapse those groups by clicking on the group header.
There are often a number of places that you visit regularly such as to attend meetings, and you may find it easier to store these under a more familiar name, which is where the favourite places are useful. By selecting this option from the main Self Service menu you can set up a favourite location using either an organisations location (site) or by postcode.
Once you have entered a place, click ADD to save it to your lists.
When making entries to Mileage you will be able to select these by choosing the Start or End point by Favourite Places rather than the other options.


The mystery and wonder of the nativity have faded, surprises have been revealed, and we have put up or will soon be putting away Christmas decorations for one more year. We will return to the routine of waking up and going on with the mundane of our lives. It is in the day to day that we are called to a future and a hope. Let's explore together the idea of moving on into a new adventure, a new year.
On Sunday, December 31, New Year's Eve, we will end the old year with an anointing of healing oil for the hurts and missed opportunities of 2017, but also for the blessing of joy which may come in the New Year. Receive your blessing for a New Year filled with the awareness of God's presence and compassionate love for all. We worship at 9:30 am in the sanctuary and 11 am in the chapel (Ignite, our contemporary service) New Year's Eve morning.

Enkele quotes om onszelf uit te drukken:

                        You can't use up creativity.

                        The more you use, the more you have.

                        Design is a journey of discovery

                        The details are not the details.

                        They make the design.

                        Good design is good business

                        It's not about ideas,

                        it's about making ideas happen.

                        Be excellent to eachother

Feb 9 Postmodernism vs. Science vs. Fundamentalism
Saturday, February 9, 2 - 4 pm
Public & FREE
Stephen Brush, D. Phil.
National Science Foundation, Room 110
4201 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA
Was Thomas Kuhn a social constructionist? Who won the Science Wars, and was the victory the result of a "Trojan Horse" trick? (Think: Stephen Colbert with a Ph.D. in physics.)
In the last quarter of the 20th century, two movements attacked science. Postmodernism, fashionable in academic humanities departments, inspired the doctrine of "social construction of scientific knowledge" (hereafter "social con"), advocated by some sociologists and historians of science. The recrudescence of religious fundamentalism supported the revival of creationism, which opposed and tried to expel from public schools the widely-accepted scientific theories of biological evolution, plate tectonics, and Big Bang cosmology. Science, still a bastion of objectivity in understanding the world, had to fend off attacks from both the left (postmodernism) and the right (fundamentalism).
The question of whether scientists can discover true facts about the world that are independent of their own social environment, or whether all their knowledge is socially constructed, was the cause of the "Science Wars" of the 1990s.
Scientists, who strongly rejected social con, did not notice that at least two widely-accepted scientific facts were indeed socially constructed, as can easily be shown by looking at their history. Moreover, there is some similarity between social con and the Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics, at least if you know something about baseball.
Stephen Brush is a professor (emeritus) of the History of Science at the University of Maryland, College Park. He was originally educated as a theoretical physicist and did research on topics such as the solidification of an electron gas ("plasma") at low temperatures and high densities. He contributed to the Harvard Project Physics Course for high schools, using the historical approach. He came to the University of Maryland in 1968 to initiate a program in history of science. His current research is a study of reasons why scientists in different fields accept (or reject) new theories.

i had no idea caramel could be made from honey! thanks!
I made this with my kids this afternoon and it was awesome! We all loved it. And they don't even like honey (or so they say).
Yes, that picture of kids playing in a tub of corn kernels doesn't seem wise to me either. I've always considered myself rich when I can plunge my hands into a sack of grain and feel all the tiny seeds run through my fingers. I've never harvested grain, but left to myself I wouldn't even know how, so I have a lot of gratitude for those farmers who grow our food for us. In other countries, the kids wouldn't be playing in the corn, they'd be eating it!
I'm trying to find farmers who grow and sell popping corn. Where did you get yours? How can I contact them? Thanks.
According to Nicole Carpenter, who heads the Burlington-area localvore group, a Vermont farmer named Clem Brigante grew that popcorn I bought last summer. There isn't any more available right now because he didn't plant any in 2006, but he's planting some this year, and there should be local popcorn available in October of 2007. She also says she has seen some local popcorn in the Rutland area, but hasn't been able to track down the farmer.
That's all I know as of now. Best of luck to you in your search!

Battle of the Office Suites: Microsoft Office and LibreOffice Compared
Filed to:downloads
For a long time, Microsoft Office has been the reigning champ of office suites, but that doesn't mean the free alternative, LibreOffice, isn't worth considering. Let's take a look at how the two compare, and if it's finally possible to ditch the paid option for the free one.
You might not think it's really fair to compare the free LibreOffice and the paid Microsoft Office, but the two are a lot closer in features than you might think. For one, LibreOffice is compatible with a lot more systems, including Windows, OS X, and Linux, while Microsoft Office's newest version is restricted to just Windows 7 and Windows 8. Besides: it's not about which one is "better" or "more feature filled." It's about whether your work requires what Microsoft has to offer, or if you can get by with something free and save a bit of money. Now, with LibreOffice reaching 4.1, we've decided it's time to give it an in-depth comparison with Microsoft Office.
While we certainly can't go through each feature one-by-one, we'll attempt to get a good look at how they compare. If you're interested in looking for a specific feature, head to this page and search for it on the table. It should give you a pretty good idea of exactly which features are in which suite. In this post, we're going to talk in more general terms.
Word Processing: Word vs. Writer
When it comes to word processors, LibreOffice Writer and Microsoft Word are easily two of the best out there. If you've used Microsoft Word before, then you'll be right at home with Writer and vice-versa. In fact, in many ways, Writer even blows Word out of the water.
When it comes to straight up features, Writer and Word are incredibly similar. Writer has all the major features of Word, including a fantastic grammar checker, a solid autosave system, support for a huge variety of formats, and plenty more. If you're a Word user, you'll have no problem making the jump to Writer because the two operate and look the same. Likewise, if this is your first Office suite, then Writer is easy to learn and use.
For years, Word's killer feature was a variety of editing options and change tracking. Now, though, Writer comes with all that as well. You can track changes, show edits, and everything else. In fact, I prefer Writer's simpler layout of tracked changes over Word's because it's a bit easier to use and understand.
After using both for a couple weeks, I didn't notice any major features missing in either. Writer is a capable word processor that does pretty much everything Word can do and more. In fact, we picked Writer as the best word processor for Windows. If a word processor is all you really need, then Writer will do everything Word can do and more.
Spreadsheets: Excel vs. Calc
Spreadsheets are a major part of an office suite and Microsoft Excel has long been the king. Depending on how you use spreadsheets, LibreOffice's Calc may very well be enough for you, unless you're already invested in Excel's ecosystem.
For the most part, Calc and Excel work the same way. If you're a light spreadsheet user, you probably won't notice much difference between the two. Both can do basic calculations, handle light math, and organize tables in a variety of ways. However, if you use a lot of Excel macros and programming, then you're going to struggle with Calc.
The reason is that Calc has its own macro language and it's not always compatible with Excel's VBA format. This means if you're trying to switch over to Calc from Excel, you may need to redo a lot of your macros. That said, Calc macros do translate well to Excel—just not the other way around—so if you're just sending off your own spreadsheets to other people, Calc may suffice.
If you're new to spreadsheets or just a light user, Calc gets the job done. However, if you're working in an environment where you're sharing a lot of macros then you're best off sticking with Excel. Both of them are easy to get started with, support the same file formats, and offer a pretty close selection of features.
Presentation Software: PowerPoint vs. Impress
The word PowerPoint has been synonymous with presentations for a long while, and with good reason: it's a powerful piece of software and does presentations better than most. LibreOffice's presentation software, Impress, is capable enough, but it's not going to convert any naysayers.
The main issue with Impress is that it still struggles occasionally when importing presentations made in PowerPoint. I had issues with some missing fonts and other rendering problems. That said, if you're creating presentations from scratch, Impress does it pretty well, albeit without quite as much flair as PowerPoint. That pretty much just amounts to a lack of certain slide animations and no support for video exports. Impress also doesn't have animated diagrams and lacks the ability to collaborate on presentations as a group.
It's not all bad news for Impress, though. Impress can export presentations in a ton of different formats, which makes sharing presentations a heck of a lot easier because you don't need to rely on someone else having PowerPoint. Regardless, both feel pretty similar to use, and while neither will magically give you an Academy Award-winning presentation, they're both equally easy to start.
LibreOffice's Impress is a perfectly capable program, but if you're working with people who usually use PowerPoint you might run into some compatibility issues still. If you're just making presentations for your own purposes, then Impress should work for you.
Database Software: Access vs. Base
The last big piece of software included in both suites is the database management systems. Microsoft Access has long been a the default app for database management, but LibreOffice's Base is a pretty worthy competitor.
The main difference between Base and Access is availability. Access is only available for Windows, whereas Base is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Outside of that, the two are pretty comparable. Both can create forms, reports, SQL, and tables, while connecting to outside databases. Base is meant for small scale databases, and it's not about running anything on its own, so if you need a standalone database you'll want to stick with Access.
Interface-wise, they're both very similar to use. As with most programs in LibreOffice, you can tell they're modeled after their Microsoft equivalents, and Base is no different. If you've used Access before, you'll be able to jump into Base right away.
Unlike the rest of the software in the suite, database software is really more about what you and your company use. Base has fantastic integration with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Thunderbird, whereas Access integrates better with Outlook and Paradox. Both manage to do what they need to do well, so which you use really depends on the context you use it in.
Which Suite is Best for You
For the most part, LibreOffice and Microsoft Office have the same suite of software with the exception of one thing: Outlook. LibreOffice doesn't come packed with an email client, so if you need Outlook or an equivalent, you won't find it here. The rest of the suite is pretty similar.
It's pretty obvious that if money is tight, LibreOffice is the office suite for you. Even still, if Microsoft Office isn't actually required at your work (especially with Outlook), LibreOffice has a lot to offer these days. LibreOffice also supports extensions, which means you can customize the look, features, and feel of the suite to suit your needs. Fortunately, the two office suites usually play nice together, so if you want to give LibreOffice a try for a few days you should be able to continue working with documents you've already created in Microsoft Office (though as stated above, you may run into a few small issues).
If LibreOffice doesn't suit your needs, OpenOffice is also worth a look. Both LibreOffice and OpenOffice are built on the same foundation, and while they're relatively similar, LibreOffice has a little bit more of a mass appeal and gets updated more often. If you're sick of dealing with Microsoft or you just don't feel like paying a lot for software, LibreOffice and OpenOffice are both worthy alternatives. It's certainly taken a few years for them to really catch up, but now that they have, Microsoft has something to worry about.

Claims Board will hear man's case again (UPDATE)

By TAYLOR W. ANDERSON
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The family of a Wisconsin man who died soon after he was denied compensation for a wrongful conviction plans to press his case again before the Wisconsin Claims Board this week.
Forest Shomberg spent six years in prison for the 2002 sexual assault of a University of Wisconsin-Madison student before his conviction was overturned in 2009 on the basis of new DNA testing and other evidence. He sought $102,500 in compensation, but the board voted unanimously to deny his claim in December 2012.
Shomberg petitioned the Eau Claire circuit court to review the board's decision, which the court reversed in June 2013. Byron Lichstein, Shomberg's former defense attorney and co-director of the Wisconsin Innocence Project, said the circuit court ruling douses the state's argument that Shomberg shouldn't be paid because he hadn't been found innocent.
"The court definitely said he is innocent. He has proven his innocence by clear and convincing evidence so he" should be paid for the time wrongfully spent in prison, Lichstein said.
The circuit court decision included strong language against the Claims Board's vote against paying Shomberg. The ruling said the board provided "no analysis of the facts or rationale for its decision."
Robert Kaiser, assistant Dane County district attorney, still maintains that he thinks Shomberg is guilty, but he said his office doesn't have time to continue the court battle against him.
"I've investigated his guilt and I am convinced that he is guilty," Kaiser said.
Shomberg had a lengthy criminal history before a judge convicted him of sexual assault in 2003. The court of appeals and Wisconsin Supreme Court both upheld the convictions in 2004 and 2006.
But DNA testing in 2007 and problems with the way Shomberg was identified by the victim showed Shomberg "has proven by clear and convincing evidence that he is innocent," circuit court judge Michael A. Schumacher wrote in his decision.
Shomberg was found dead in a parked car in Madison two months after the circuit court decision.
Annette Bruner, Shomberg's mother, declined through her attorney to comment before the Claims Board ruled in the new case.
In 2011, Shomberg was charged as a felon in possession of a firearm. He told a judge he was thinking about killing himself when he fired a test shot into the front lawn and changed his mind.
Shomberg was sentenced to a year in prison and two years of supervised release in that case, court documents show.
His release was revoked in April 2013 after he violated conditions of his supervised release, and a judge ordered Shomberg to serve four more months in jail.
Shomberg was found dead in a parked car in Madison 11 days after his release from jail and only weeks before his case was scheduled to be heard before the Claims Board in September last year. The board rescheduled that hearing until Wednesday.
Shomberg had asked for the state maximum $25,000 for his wrongful conviction and $77,500 for legal fees. An attorney for his family will restate his case at the hearing.
The board's agenda showed no one for the state planned to attend Wednesday's hearing.
"My position and certainly the family's position is based on the court order, Mr. Shomberg, and now his estate, is entitled to some compensation," said Nathan Otis, an attorney for Shomberg's family.

The performance of Shraddha by a son during Pitru Paksha is regarded as compulsory by Hindus, to ensure that the soul of the ancestor goes to heaven.
The scriptures preach that a householder should propitiate ancestors (Pitris), along with the gods (devas), ghosts (bhutas) and guests.
The scripture Markandeya Purana says that if the ancestors are content with the shraddhas, they will bestow health, wealth, knowledge and longevity, and ultimately heaven and salvation (moksha) upon the performer.

It's beneficial in the event the business can reasonably predict news media behavior. Its aim was supposed to handle claims which were made by relevant small business operators or owners. It is actuallyn't a core piece of their company.
The very simple reason behind that is that there will be this much possible litigation in regard to settlements etc,» Dr Gascon told BBC News.

This informative article will provide little information regarding writing oil spill research paper like the gurus, so keep reading. Despite the hazards of offshore drilling, oil companies have become rather successful with the approach. Oil spills have turned into a severe threat in the current world.
No one wants to stop by an area in which you look out in the water and realize the water is jet black and full of trash. Actually the whole financial industries have suffered a setback as a result of this devastating oil spill. The explosion made a fireball that could be observed from more than 30 miles away.
The research was conducted as a member of the national Natural Resource Damage Assessment process needed by the Oil Pollution Act in the wake of the spill. The firm's facilities that are located in numerous sections of the world face numerous risks like a consequence of political instability that might lead to war. Petroperu expropriated resources and facilities throughout the practice of Peruvian nationalization.
We found lots of bacteria surprisingly capable of handling the more dangerous compounds. So it's very hard to understand at this time, the scale of the impact has been and will be later on. Chronic criteria represent the greatest 4-day average concentration which shouldn't lead to unacceptable toxicity during a very long time event.
Active cleaning efforts would ensue for many years to follow. There actually isn't any way to correct this situation up. BP now has thousands of employees that are working 24 hours each day, 7 days per week on this spill.
To begin with, there's a very specific job. If you are feeling this way it's very good advice to calm your excitement and concentrate on the job at hand. Of course new players have a great deal of questions regarding how to find the appropriate place to gamble safely.

Guam needs great reliance on alternative energy
Guam's goal needs to be an ever-increasing reliance on renewable energy sources.
Guam needs great reliance on alternative energy Guam's goal needs to be an ever-increasing reliance on renewable energy sources. Check out this story on guampdn.com: https://www.guampdn.com/story/opinion/editorials/2015/08/19/guam-needs-great-reliance-on-alternative-energy-0820/31969085/
Staff Reports, Pacific Daily News USA TODAY NETWORK Published 6:50 p.m. ChT Aug. 19, 2015
The nrg Renew's Dandan Solar Facility.(Photo: PDN file)
Guam recently marked an important alternative energy milestone, when the island's first utility-scale solar farm began feeding "test energy" to the Guam Power Authority.
The solar farm's 121,792 photovoltaic panels are projected to be able to provide about 25.6 megawatts of power, or enough to meet the electricity needs of about 10,000 homes.
The project's official completion will be marked with a ceremony on Oct. 7, according to NRG Renew, which owns and operates the facility.
The electricity produced by the solar farm will allow the Guam Power Authority to meet the mandate of a local law that requires at least 5 percent of its power come from alternative energy sources by December. And it's expected to offset the consumption of 2 million barrels of fuel oil and diesel over 25 years.
But the utility and the government of Guam shouldn't stop there. The goal needs to be an ever-increasing reliance on renewable energy sources, and an ever-decreasing reliance on oil and diesel fuels.
There is a finite amount of fossil fuel left; its availability will continue to become more scarce, and thus more expensive.
Even a switch to natural gas doesn't make as much sense as a shift to alternative energy sources. After all, wind and sun are free. There are no nasty fires or potential environmental disasters if there is a leakage of sun or wind.
Elected officials need to push the Guam Power Authority to be much more aggressive about pursuing alternative energy sources, even if that means strengthening mandates. It's not only the right thing to do from an environmental standpoint, but as the cost of producing alternative energy continues to drop, and the cost of fossil fuels continues to rise, it will be the smart and right thing to do from an economic standpoint as well.

Obstruction of the upper airway during sleep causes the cessation of breath termed as "apnea". This obstruction occurs when airway muscles including the tongue become too relaxed during sleep resulting in the reduction of oxygenation in the blood. A loud, choking sound is produced when breathing resumes as air abruptly pushes the muscles out of the way. This process is repeated several times during sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea, or OSA, is a chronic illness characterized by interruptions in breathing resulting in poor sleeping patterns which happens several times each week. This condition often leads to other health problems including fatigue, daytime sleepiness, and morning headaches. It is difficult to diagnose the disease and specialists have a hard time identifying the condition. It cannot be verified in any regular laboratory examinations either. A lot of people suffer from this disorder but remain unaware of their condition since the symptoms only occur during sleep. A bed partner or a family member may be able to confirm the signs of the condition. It is very important to know that sleep is highly important for good health. Sleep is not the four to five hours rest you take every night; in fact, it is much longer and leaves a relaxed and fresh feeling with the individual. Most everyone needs a minimum of eight hours a night, and some even nine or ten. Research has proven that sleep is important to rebuild our bodies after the strenuous day's work. The day's work tears you up physically and mentally and you need down time to rebuild those lost cells and energy to work as efficiently the next day. A good nights sleep is your cure for inefficiency at work. It has also been proved that failure to recover from stress has always depreciated the efficiency required at work. In the commotion at workplaces and scarcity of time, people find it very hard to rest properly. Deadlines are neck to neck and you are running about just to complete your work. By the time we get home, we're totally exhausted and need immediate sleep. This sleep is however, not at all restful. People end up in slumber which is composed of thoughts of the following day and other stressing details. It's easy to understand why so many are sleep deprived. We work so hard day in and out just so that we can provide our families with all the luxuries of life. Now, do you think wasting all our health is wise enough? I'll tell you, no its not. When you fall sick because of over stressing you spend the hard earned money on yourself just to recover. Does that make sense now? Do you think it's a wise thing to do? And, who knows if you'll ever recover your strength again. If the latter is what is how you are pursuing your sleep then be prepared for the numerous surprises the doctor will give you. If you really can't afford to fall sick anymore, or have a family and a social life to be there for then you'll have to work harder towards your recovery and replenishment. There is such a variety of firmness for mattresses and pillows - find ones that are comfortable for you.

}

The objective of this class is to read an serie of bitmaps that have the [POI] prefix to allow .net to display an legend in an form control to the poi image appearing in an  Sygic Drive window.
The question is how i can optimize this code to load the images faster. At the moment it loads 26 315k bitmaps images in 10s. But probably in the final solution we could have as many as +260 images, so that is the reason of the need of optimization.

A: The biggest potential improvement I see is that PreencherPool loads all images in a folder.  Are you showing all images at once?  If not, you could change that to lazy-load the images on demand, or at least load them in a background thread so the caller doesn't block while they all get loaded.
I'd also suggest that 300k seems a bit large for a "thumbnail" (which the code suggests they are).  Are you sizing it to what you actually need for displ15?

DATA MINE: 2012 Congressional travel
By Online Staff , Herald-Tribune
/ Saturday, May 11, 2013
Even while members of Congress were preaching fiscal restraint and warning of fiscal cliffs and sequestration cuts, more than one-third of the U.S. House of Representatives was traveling the globe to often-exotic locations at taxpayer expense, with limited explanations for the trips.
The map and tables below list destinations visited by lawmakers — at times including family and staff members — for the 2012 calendar year, as reported in the U.S. Congressional Record through May 6, 2013. Locations to which a lawmaker or lawmakers traveled during the year are shaded in green, with darker shades indicating a greater number of trips. Note that not all locations are mapped, since lawmakers sometimes simply note destination by continent (e.g., Africa) or area (e.g., S.E. Asia) for security reasons. A trip of 0 (zero) days indicates departure and return on same date.
For tips on using the interactive, hover your mouse cursor over the red circle in the upper-right of the map.
1. "Committee" refers to House committee that reported the travel to the Congressional Record or in some cases indicates a members most relevant committee assignment.
2. "Lawmaker status" field: "Active" represents a member still in Congress; other fields signifiy that member has retired, was defeated for re-election or resigned from office during the course of 2012.
3. Each "Destination" has been included in calculations for this interactive, though not each is mapped, given that lawmakers sometimes report location of travel simply as a continent (e.g., Africa) or area (e.g., S.E. Asia) for security reasons.
4. Nov 08-12 trip to Czech Republic by Jeff Miller, R-Fla., was reported twice in the Congressional Record — once by the Veterans Affairs Committee and once with no direct committee authorizationis reported twice -- but included just once in dataset here.

Медве́дєв Дмитро́ Микола́йович   — учасник партизанського руху в Україні в роки Другої світової війни, письменник. капітан держбезпеки, полковник. Герой Радянського Союзу (1944).

Біографія
Народився в населеному пункті Бежиця  Орловської губернії Російської імперії (нині в складі м. Брянськ, РФ) в сім'ї робітника. Закінчив 1909 два класи початкової школи та 1917 — гімназію. З листопада 1917 — секретар приймальні Брянської ради робітничих депутатів, діловод відділу нормування праці робітників металевої промисловості Брянська. З квітня 1918 — співробітник для доручень при військовому комісарі 3-ї Орловської бригади в складі Червоної армії (див Радянська армія), воював на Східному та . Член РКП(б) з 1920 року.

Від 1920 — в органах ВУЧК, Державного політичного управління УСРР, НКВС УСРР/УРСР, НКДБ СРСР. З травня 1920 — уповноважений, заступник начальника особливого відділу, член колегії Брянської ЧК, з березня 1921 — начальник Старобільської повітової ЧК, із квітня 1922 року — начальник особливого відділу Донецького губернського відділу Державного політичного управління (надалі ДПУ) УСРР. Від вересня 1922 — уповноважений, начальник секретного відділу Одеського губернського відділу ДПУ УСРР, з квітня 1926 — уповноважений секретного відділу, із березня 1927 — начальник секретного відділу Дніпропетровського окружного відділу ДПУ УСРР, з лютого 1929 — заступник начальника Херсонського окружного відділу ДПУ УСРР, із січня 1930 — начальник Куп'янського окружного відділу ДПУ УСРР, з травня 1930 — заступник начальника Бердичівського окружного відділу ДПУ УСРР, з липня 1930 — начальник особливого відділу Сталінського оперативного сектору ДПУ УСРР. З червня 1931 — начальник Лубенського районного відділу ДПУ УСРР, із червня 1932 — начальник секретно-політичного відділу Київського обласного відділу ДПУ УСРР, з лютого 1933 — начальник Новоград-Волинського районного відділу ДПУ УСРР, за сумісництвом — начальник особливих відділів  та управління начальника робіт по будівництву Новоград-Волинського укріпрайону. Організував у Новограді-Волинському «зразкову комуну» для безпритульних дітей. З березня 1934 — начальник Зінов'ївського міського відділу ДПУ/НКВС УСРР.

Як стверджує фахівець з історії радянських спецслужб і репресій А. Г. Тепляков, в першій половині 1930-х років Медведєв, працюючи на території УРСР, брав активну участь в фабрикуванні розстрільних справ на десятки і сотні «змовників», зокрема, наприклад, членів так званого «Української революційно-демократичної спілки».

З липня 1935 — слухач Центральної школи Головного управління державної безпеки НКВС СРСР (, тепер Академія Федеральної служби безпеки Російської Федерації). Компартійним осередком школи був виключений із ВКП(б) за зв'язки брата Олександра з «антипартійною групою ». Однак райком ВКП(б)  не затвердив це рішення й обмежився доганою.
