An Introduction to QR Codes

QR codes, or quick response codes, are popping up everywhere. You may have seen them at conferences, in catalogs, on billboards and in print magazines. Now QR codes are spreading to business services, including accounting. According to a CFO article, QR codes can speed up payment functions, measure parts of marketing budgets and present videos and other information about accounting services. Learn more about what QR codes are and how you can take advantage of this growing trend.

Where do I start?

A QR code is a two-dimensional code that can be read with an application on your mobile device. They are used to drive users to digital information, such as websites, Facebook pages, or registration links. It is as simple as a click of a button!

If I see a QR code, what do I do with it?

First, you need to download a QR code reader to your smartphone. There are tons of free applications out there; just go to the app store on your phone and search for “QR Code Reader” or “QR Code Scanner.” These apps use the camera in your phone to ‘scan’ the codes. Then, point your phone camera at the QR code; the application will read it and take you to the intended digital content.

The Sedition Act 1948 is a restraining law; it tells you what not to do. Among other things, “seditious” actions can include those that have a tendency to incite hatred towards a ruler or against any government; excite people to take over any government territory using unlawful means; bring into hatred or contempt the administration of justice in Malaysia; and promote feelings of ill-will and hostility among different races and classes. 2. It’s an archaic British law, introduced to Malaya in 1948 and amended shortly after the 1969 riots. What does this mean? It means the founding fathers of our nation did not legislate it. It was actually imported directly to become our law and was retained after Merdeka. The last prosecution for sedition in the United Kingdom was in 1972. In the UK, sedition as an offence was ef

If they bat second and Sri Lanka score 200, Australia will need to chase the target down in about 27 overs.
