Dial straight to voicemail8/13/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Robocalls galore: Company sued for allegedly funneling 4.8 million scam robocalls to Indiana residents The technology, among other things, informs blocking tools of possible suspicious calls, she said in a news release announcing the technology’s broad implementation. ![]() The acronym stands for STIR (Secure Telephone Identity Revisited) and SHAKEN (Signature-based Handling of Asserted information using toKENs).įCC acting Chair Jessica Rosenworcel said in June that the largest voice service phone providers are using the STIR/SHAKEN caller ID standards. The program, implemented by the FCC, identifies spoofed or fake numbers that mirror legitimate area codes and exchanges, with an eye toward giving regulators the tools to go after the spammers. He said the temporary decline in the number of calls also is partly attributable to a federal program known by its acronym STIR/SHAKEN. The economics are pretty much in the robocallers’ favor,” he said in a phone interview. “If only half a percent answer, and only 30 people fall for the scam, you’ve more than paid for your $1,000. Quilici said only a few calls have to result in sales for the scammers to profit.įor example, he said, it costs about $1,000 for a robocaller to buy 3 million real numbers in Chicago. But he said that momentary lull came because of a labor shortage: Robocallers found it difficult to hire workers to answer when victims fell for the scams. Those numbers translate to 132 million calls a day, 5.5 million an hour, 1,530 a second and, in perhaps the most affecting of all, an average of 12.6 calls per person with a phone in that month.Īlex Quilici, CEO of YouMail, said the number of fraudulent robocalls is down from its peak of nearly 5 billion in March. Robocalls making you crazy? Here are 5 ways to stop them for good YouMail, a private company that sells call-blocking software and tracks the estimated number of calls, reported 4.1 billion unwanted robocalls in October, up from 3.9 billion in September. So far this year, the FCC has received about 152,000 informal consumer complaints about unwanted calls, spokesperson Paloma Perez wrote in an email. ![]() The Federal Trade Commission reported that in the third quarter of this year, it received 134,366 reports of phone call fraud, with nearly $165 million in reported money lost. Law enforcement officials make a distinction between legitimate automatic calls, such as reminders from your pharmacy or your kid’s school, and the scam calls to random numbers hoping to get the unsuspecting to buy unneeded goods or services or to give up personal information. Scammers’ motivation is “to steal from vulnerable people, and they are so successful at it that they have great incentives to come up with technological workarounds every time we try to block them,” Stein said. Scam calls: Robocalls may start to fade thanks to new FCC requirement to identify and block scammers “We have to do everything in our power to make sure they can’t pretend to be legitimate callers and trick people into picking up the phone.” “Robocallers have too many arrows in their quiver,” Stein said in a Stateline interview. Law enforcement officials have asked phone carriers to make it harder for scammers to obtain real numbers, but those lists are legally for sale by third-party data providers, and ferreting out who is buying them is difficult.Įarlier this month, North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein, a Democrat, and Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, a Republican, led all 51 attorneys general, including the District of Columbia’s, in a letter calling on the Federal Communications Commission to reduce unwanted robocallers’ access to real phone numbers. They also may buy or hijack lists of real phone numbers to trick spam-blocking software into letting the calls through. The scammers argue that because they don’t cause phones to ring, they aren’t really calling at all. One new trick is for callers to send messages straight to voicemail. Like the Whac-A-Mole game at the carnival, every time state and federal law enforcement officials think they have smacked down scam robocalls, the unwanted calls pop up in a slightly different place with a slightly different face.

Bartender classes peru8/13/2023 ![]() The word as applied to the alcoholic beverage comes from the Peruvian port of Pisco. Pisco refers to the base liquor used in the cocktail. The term sour refers to mixed drinks containing a base liquor (bourbon or some other whiskey), lemon or lime juice, and a sweetener. Peru celebrates a yearly public holiday in honor of the cocktail on the first Saturday of February. The two kinds of pisco and the two variations in the style of preparing the pisco sour are distinct in both production and taste. Some pisco producers have noted that the controversy helps promote interest in the drink. ![]() Media sources and celebrities commenting on the dispute often express their preference for one cocktail version over the other, sometimes just to cause controversy. ![]() Chile and Peru both claim the pisco sour as their national drink, and each asserts ownership of the cocktail's base liquor-pisco consequently, the pisco sour has become a significant and oft-debated topic of Latin American popular culture. The pisco sour underwent several changes until Mario Bruiget, a Peruvian bartender working at Morris' Bar, created the modern Peruvian recipe for the cocktail in the latter part of the 1920s by adding Angostura bitters and egg whites to the mix.Ĭocktail connoisseurs consider the pisco sour a South American classic. The oldest known mentions of the pisco sour are found in newspaper and magazine advertisements, dating to the early 1920s, for Morris and his bar published in Peru and Chile. In 1916, he opened Morris' Bar in Lima, and his saloon quickly became a popular spot for the Peruvian upper class and English-speaking foreigners. Morris left the United States in 1903 to work in Cerro de Pasco, a city in central Peru. Other variants of the cocktail include those created with fruits like pineapple or plants such as coca leaves.Īlthough the preparation of pisco-based mixed beverages possibly dates back to the 1700s, historians and drink experts agree that the cocktail as it is known today was invented in the early 1920s in Lima, the capital of Peru, by the American bartender Victor Vaughen Morris. The Chilean version is similar, but uses Chilean pisco and Pica lime, and excludes the bitters and egg white. The Peruvian pisco sour uses Peruvian pisco as the base liquor and adds freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, ice, egg white, and Angostura bitters. ![]() The drink's name comes from pisco, which is its base liquor, and the cocktail term sour, about sour citrus juice and sweetener components. † Pisco sour recipe at International Bartenders AssociationĪ pisco sour is an alcoholic cocktail of Peruvian origin that is traditional to Peruvian cuisine and Chilean cuisine. Shake and strain into a chilled goblet glass. Add all ingredients into a shaker with ice. ![]()

1898 historical currency converter8/12/2023 ![]() In 1361 the gros tournois of 15 deniers Tournois (1 sol Parisis) was minted at 84 to a French Mark of silver, 23/24 fine (hence, 2.79 g fine silver in a gros). ![]() Lower valuations for the livre had to be accepted subsequently as the war raged on. An attempt in 1343 to reverse earlier depreciations of circulating deniers and reinstate the old 1317-era gros tournois (forte monnaie, or strong money) caused financial havoc especially with borrowers who received depreciated coins and who then had to repay debts in forte monnaie. The start of the Hundred Years' War against England in 1337 would increase the pressure to further debase the French livre. While French kings would continue to prescribe coin values in multiples of 4 and 12 deniers Parisis until the end of the 15th century, the rest of France would gradually choose to recognize their increased values in multiples of 5 and 15 deniers Tournois. Towards the reign of King Philip IV le Bel came pressures to further debase the denier, which occurred in 1317 when the Gros Tournois was raised to 15 deniers Tournois or 12 deniers (1 sol) Parisis, thus commencing the fixed parity of 4 deniers Parisis to 5 deniers Tournois. ![]() The new coin's reputation and handling convenience versus those of debased deniers assured the adoption of the gros tournois to the rest of Western Europe. The emergence of the Livre Tournois as France's preferred accounting system occurred during the reign of King Louis IX with the issuance of the silver Gros tournois with 58 issued to a French Mark of silver of fineness 23⁄ 24 (hence 4.044 g fine silver in a gros), and valued at 1 sol (12 deniers) in France's Touraine region though valued less than 1 sol Parisis. One such currency, the Livre Tournois, would eventually become the preferred accounting system under a more centralized French kingdom. While monetary values as proclaimed by French kings would eventually be identified as the Livre Parisis, other regions almost always got by with currencies of lower standard. In subsequent centuries the French kings would struggle to implement fixed standards for the livre over a decentralized realm of Frankish feudal rulers, many of whom claimed the right to issue currency within their own domains, and often resorting to currency debasements in moments of stringency. The French Mark of 8 ounces was a unit of weight equal to 244.752 grams, and equal in weight to 192 deniers or 16 sols of this period. 1000 under the Capetian dynasty contained 305.94 g and 1.27475 g fine silver, respectively. The first livre and denier weighed 407.92 g and 1.7 g, respectively, of the finest silver available. Only the denier existed as a coin for the next 500 years, with the sou and livre functioning as accounting multiples of the denier. Between 19, the conversion of francs to euros was carried out at a rate of 6.55957 francs to 1 euro.Įmperor Charlemagne's monetary system was introduced in 781 AD to the Frankish Carolingian Empire and spread over the centuries to much of Western Europe, with a Livre (pound) of silver divided into 20 Sols or Sous (shillings) and the Sol divided into 12 Deniers (penny). The French franc was a commonly held international reserve currency of reference in the 19th and 20th centuries. Many French residents, though, continued to quote prices of especially expensive items in terms of the old franc (equivalent to the new centime), up to and even after the introduction of the euro (for coins and banknotes) in 2002. ![]() The NF designation was continued for a few years before the currency returned to being simply the franc. After two centuries of inflation, it was redenominated in 1960, with each new franc ( NF) being worth 100 old francs. ![]() It was reintroduced (in decimal form) in 1795. Between 13, it was the name of coins worth 1 livre tournois and it remained in common parlance as a term for this amount of money. The franc ( / f r æ ŋ k/ French: franc français, sign: F or Fr), also commonly distinguished as the French franc ( FF), was a currency of France.
