Last updated at 14:31 BST, Friday, 23 October 2009 Silent phone calls When you pick up a ringing phone and hear silence at the other end, it can be frightening. However, most of these calls are made not by villains but by computers at call centres. Now in the UK such centres could be fined up to 2m for causing distress. Report It's an annoying thing many households have to tolerate - answering the phone to find nobody on the other end of the line. They are often from a company's call centre which uses automatic dialling in the hope of selling you something. But if there aren't enough staff on hand to speak, the call into your home stays silent. Industry regulator, Ofcom, says it's a breach of their guidelines for businesses who make persistent unwanted phone calls. And now those caughtbreaking the law could face fines of 2m. David Hickson, campaigner: 'We don't know how much ofa deterrent it will be. The point is that the action point of Ofcom should be to stop people from making silent calls, not just to penalise them.' Despite previous attempts to solvethis, almost half of the UK still receives silent phone calls. So officials will hope the threat of a bigger fine can help eradicate it.

This same principle is applied in nonpolitical realms under the term separation of duties. Montesquieu proposed division of political power between an executive, a legislature, and a judiciary. Under this model, each branch has separate and independent powers and areas of responsibility; however, each branch is also able to place limits on the power exerted by the other branches. Executive In politics, a person or persons constituting the branch of government charged with executing or carrying out the laws and appointing officials, formulating and instituting foreign policy, and providing diplomatic representation.
