Trey Palms has brought us an amazing remix of Calvin Harris' Flashback. Now, I would have never thought that Trey could spit over an electro beat like this, but as always, his flow is absolutely impeccable and his lyrical ability is just fantastic. From what I'm told, Trey is actually dropping a new remix every week until his EP, The Remixes, drops at the end of June. And then after that, he has an LP dropping at the end of July. I'm pumped now. Enjoy this one, and then be on the watch for more coming soon.
Kinetics was dropping a new track, but when I saw that it was a colab with Chris Webby, I was slightly underwhelmed. Not that I don't like Webby, because I was actually really feeling his last couple tracks, it's just not what I was expecting. I am a huge fan of Kinetics, and I have always said that his flow and lyricism are probably the best around, but this one is lyrically it's bit harder, as well as a bit darker than what I am used to hearing from Kinetics. Overall, it's still a really dope track with great flow from both Kinetics and Webby, so definitely check it out. Enjoy.
Probably one of the coolest tracks off of Matt Easton's latest mixtape, Rhetorical Tradition, finally gets some visuals to go along with it. It's a simple video, but it was done extremely well. There's just something about this one that makes it thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Definitely check this one out.

Properties in an around Bristol set for price boost from rail improvements
The £700 million modernisation of the London to Cardiff rail line is set to boost property values in the Bristol area by up to 10%, according to consultants Knight Frank.
The electrification of the line will result in a 20 minute reduction in journey times between the capital and Bristol and will increase desirability and substantially widen the property search area for prospective purchasers looking to move to Bristol and commute to London, the firm says.
Between now and 2017, increased demand could boost property values by between 5% and 10% in some locations over and above general market trends as the journey time reduced to around an hour and 20 minutes.
In March 2011 the Government announced that £700 million would be spent on the electrification of the Great Western Main Line between London and Cardiff, via Bristol. According to the Department for Transport, the average journey from Bristol to London Paddington will be reduced by around 20 minutes, from an hour and 40 minutes to an hour and 20 minutes. The scheme will start in 2014 and is due for completion by 2017.
Potential buyers looking to move to the Bristol area and commute to London, or indeed vice versa, often exclude property searches outside the city to limit the time they spend travelling to and from work each day. The rail improvements are likely to increase demand for property in the Bristol area and substantially increase the size of the property search area for those commuting to London.
Based on the assumption that those living in the Bristol area will be willing to travel for up to two hours each way, including getting from their home to Bristol Temple Meads rail station, improvements will open up a much larger search area for those commuters willing to drive for up to 40 minutes at the start of their journey to get to the rail station.
Areas in this extended search zone include Clifton, Sneyd Park, Leigh Woods, Redland, Bedminster, Southville, Failand, Wraxall and Wrington Vale.
‘Bristol doesn’t attract as many buyers looking to commute to London as Bath does, but the shorter journey times from 2017 will change this. If you compare property prices in Bristol with those in London, the appeal of moving here becomes clear,’ said James Toogood, head of Knight Frank’s Bristol office.
‘A good example is a property currently on the market on Clare Road in Cotham. It is ideal for professional couples looking to start a family and move out of London and is on the market for £625,000. A similar house in London’s Earlsfield or Balham would cost closer to £1 million,’ he explained.
‘Similarly, if we compare the cost of buying in the Home Counties around London with that in the Bristol area, it is clear just how much more you get for your money in Bristol. For just an extra half an hour or so on the train once the rail improvements take effect in 2017, the average price per square foot in the prime Bristol area is just £309 compared to an average of £450 per square foot in the prime Home Counties,’ he added.
He believes that the more affluent areas of Bristol including Clifton, Sneyd Park, Leigh Woods and Redland will certainly prosper from those who require access to London. And while the already popular villages around Bristol are likely to become even more desirable for affluent commuters, the areas closer to the rail station such as Bedminster and Southville may become more appealing to renters and investors.
‘It should be noted that the rail improvements could also increase demand from those who work in Bristol but want to live primarily in London and commute. This could generate demand for pied a terre properties in Bristol,’ said Toogood.

A significant part of traveling is trying the area’s cuisine. While some items may not feel appetizing initially, you may develop a taste for them. Experiencing different foods helps you feel connected to the culture of the area you’re visiting.
Missouri is a midwestern state, forming the Greater St. Louis Area with Illinois. It’s no wonder it is home to St. Louis cuisine, a subtype of midwestern food. You can find these foods served in various restaurants in Town and Country. Next time you visit the area, don’t forget to check out the delicacies. Here are some Missouri foods you should try at least once:
1. Frog Legs
While frog legs may sound unusual to most Americans, they are considered a delicacy in French cuisine, known as Cuisses de Grenouille. French cuisine heavily influences Missourian cuisine, and frog legs are famous in the Ozark region of the state.
The frog legs taste like a mix of chicken and fish and are fried with cracker crumb breading or egg batter. People also eat grilled frog legs, but you will mostly find deep-fried frog legs at fairs. Frog legs mostly come from the bullfrog, an invasive species that destroys amphibian life in the state. Consuming native frogs is a banned practice.
2. St. Louis-Style Pizza
Named after the St. Louis geographic region it originated from, this pizza is unique for not using yeast. Instead, it has a fragile, thin crust like a cracker. St. Louis-style pizza uses Provel cheese. The cheese is a mix of provolone, swiss, and white cheddar cheese, giving the pizza its unique taste. The Provel cheese is rarely found outside the St. Louis area, making it a local delicacy. Chefs cut the pizza in tavern style (squares). The tavern cut ensures the toppings don’t crack the crust.
3. Burnt Ends
BBQ is well-liked throughout Missouri, and you will love this local take on a brisket barbeque. Burnt ends refer to barbequed meat from the ‘point’ half of the brisket. This part has more flavorful meat but requires a longer cooking time due to the high fat and collagen content. Once the Chef cooks the meat, the burnt ends are returned to the smoker for further cooking and are often re-seasoned. An ideal burnt end should have some char on one side.
4. Toasted Ravioli
When a pasta chef in Missouri accidentally drops a ravioli in a deep fryer, you get a new dish. Accidentally invented by Chef Fritz, toasted ravioli is now a typical food in Missouri. The ravioli is filled with meat, breaded, and deep-fried until browned and crispy. It is typically served with a marinara dip and topped with parmesan cheese.
5. Gooey Butter Cake
A typical Missouri dessert, the gooey butter cake is flat and dense and is served with coffee. Invented through an accident when a baker reversed the proportions of flour and butter, the cake is barely an inch tall and contains hefty amounts of butter. Modern takes on the take use yellow powder mix and cream cheese. The baker usually dusts the cake with the confectioner’s sugar before serving. While meant to be served fresh, many Missouri bakers also sell boxed gooey butter cakes.
Missourian food is a unique American taste and is heavily influenced by French cuisine. The food is considered a part of midwestern cuisine and features delicacies like frog legs. Innovative Missourian cuisine includes St. Louis-style pizza, toasted ravioli, and butter cake. Be sure to try these meals the next time you’re in Missouri.

After the name of Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood’s King Khan Shahrukh Khan, in the drugs case, there is constant political rhetoric. Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Kapil Sibal has made a big claim. He tweeted that due to Shahrukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan’s case of narcotics, attention has been diverted from the minister’s son’s issue in Lakhimpur Kheri. After this tweet, a new debate has broken out in the political corridors.
Kapil Sibal targeted PM Narendra Modi for the country’s poor ranking in the Global Hunger Index, saying, “India has slipped from its 94th position in 2020 to 101st in this list, which is far behind its neighbors including Pakistan. Is. Congratulations Modi ji for eradicating poverty and hunger. He also attacked the claim of becoming the biggest power in the world.

Despite sporadic bursts of Euro-scepticism in some EU member countries, the latest round of European summits — Madrid in December 1995, Dublin in December 1996 and Amsterdam in June 1997 — has brought major advances on the road to European monetary union. And the decision to set bilateral exchange rates for currencies participating in the euro as of May 1998, announced at the Ecofin meeting in Mondorf on September 13 this year, was yet another reminder that politicians are determined to launch the single currency on schedule.
Monetary union means a sudden and dramatic change, creating a huge pan-European capital market overnight. Matif has been hard at work for several months, making concrete preparations so as to be able to offer a range of liquid euro-denominated products as of January 4, 1999.
The euro will usher in a new era for European markets. Its impact on financial markets has already been widely discussed, including:
French markets and Matif have positioned themselves to benefit from this new situation. The certainty of French participation in phase III of Emu has been a major plus, allowing preparation for a smooth switchover as of 1995. Market participants have been able to move ahead without second thoughts, co-ordinating their efforts in a unified process.
On January 4, 1999 all sections of the French market—forex, equities, money markets, bonds and clearing systems—will thus switch over to the euro in a single move. The French Treasury has already announced that all existing debt will be converted into euro on the same date—some FF3.5 trillion in all, including FF2 trillion in OATs alone. A critical mass of euro-denominated securities will thus appear from the start, buoying the Matif products derived from them.
Matif will be operating in the world's prime reserve currency after the dollar, encouraging investors to shift into French debt instruments traded on the cash market and through derivatives. The market's size, technical strength and liquidity will work in its favor, other attractions being the system adopted by the Treasury, built around a group of primary dealers as in the US, a liquid strip market, and auctions focusing on a few highly liquid issues. Together these factors have made French bonds a model in Europe.
In addition, banks operating in the euro zone will have access to intra-day refinancing in euro, provided they are established in the zone. By locating in Paris, they will be able to process all types of euro operations, from wholesale to retail, as of January 4, 1999.
Finally clearing and settlement systems used in Paris
will shift simultaneously to the euro, and be connected to Target, the
pan-European gross settlement system.
Matif's Emu strategy is reflected in its alliance through
Eurex. This is based on shared management of operations in interest rate
euro-denominated derivatives and introduction of a unified market system
built on four strengths:
1. A single offering of fixed-income products denominated in FRF and DEM, subsequently EUR, under joint management
Plans to build a single, unified market linking Paris and Frankfurt call for a wide range of contracts covering all euro products with appeal for investors, including:
- contracts in French francs (subsequently in euro)
based on French securities. These will benefit from the existing liquid
market for French Treasury issues, which will get a boost from the immediate
conversion of French debt to euro in 1999.
- contracts in D-Marks (and subsequently in euro), based on German securities.
- New euro-denominated contracts to be created jointly by development teams representing both markets.
Existing DTB products will continue to be traded on the DTB system, even following conversion into euro, while Matif products will still be traded by open outcry. In mid-1998, when Matif SA adopts NSC-VF, both open outcry and electronic trading will be used, with all German and French products accessible to Eurex-Matif members through screens developed by GL Consultants.
New products created by Eurex AG and Matif SA, including multi-issuer contracts, will be traded electronically, assigned to a market on the principle of parity and balance.
Taking a closer look at three key points on the yield curve:
• In 10-year maturities, we will be able to offer, depending on market conditions, a contract based solely on French government debt converted into euro on January 1, 1999, or a joint contract with Eurex based on debt instruments from several sovereign issuers in the euro zone.
The current Notionnel contract will be replaced by the euro Notionnel, a single-issuer contract based solely on French government debt in view of possible remaining credit spreads; this debt will be immediately converted into euro. The contract will be traded both on the electronic system and by open outcry. The DTB will maintain its Bund contract, transformed into a single-issuer product based on German securities, leaving the choice of benchmark up to the market.
As with the 5-year contract, the French-franc Notionnel will not co-exist with its euro replacement. Nominal value and other features will be modified in March 1998, as soon as March 1999 opens.
5 and 10-year multi-issuer euro-denominated bond contracts may be launched jointly by Matif and Eurex, with features defined by the two partners; this is particularly likely if the French/German spread is narrow and volatility low. Such contracts will be traded only on the electronic system.
• At the middle of the yield curve, the Matif 5-year contract launched on September 10 this year is a natural addition to the existing 3-month Pibor and 10-year Notionnel. The French Treasury offers new issues regularly in this segment, and the stock outstanding is both large and liquid. With liquidity in this product judged satisfactory by the market, an option on the same contract will be introduced on October 20.
• Finally, at the short end of the curve, the 3-month Pibor contract. While the euro will not come into being until January 4, 1999, it is already a reality on Matif, where the 3-month Pibor contract is now trading for 1999 and 2000 delivery. Matif SA has taken measures to ensure a smooth transition to Euribor, which is to replace the 3-month Pibor. Once phase III of Emu is under way, the rate will be adopted by the Association Française des Banques (AFB), as is now the case for the 3-month Pibor. The AFB has called for a pan-European rate and is working closely with its German counterpart to develop this new benchmark. Liquidity on the Pibor contract will thus shift to the Euribor 3-month.
2. The DTB and NSC VF electronic trading systems will be linked by shared front-end technology developed by GL Consultants, with a single log-in. Participants will thus be able to access the entire range of contracts offered by Eurex and Matif on the same screen, in FRF, DEM and EUR.
3. A system of cross-membership will be adopted, with harmonization of rules and regulations.
4. Cross-margining for positions taken on the two markets: starting in mid-1998, links between clearing systems at Eurex AG and Matif SA will significantly reduce members' margin requirements, with no adverse impact on market security.
Underpinning this strategy is a drive to reduce market users' costs. To enhance liquidity of euro products, we have cut Matif SA's clearing fee by 30% for all transactions in delivery dates after January 1, 1999, and we are also looking into a fee structure that takes into account the needs of different types of users.
Adopting systems already well on their way to becoming international standards will also reduce costs for financial institutions operating on several world markets:
- NSC Version Future (NSC VF) trading system, which has
also been adopted by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) and Monep; (the
Paris Bourse has a version of the same for equities)
- Clearing 21® streamlines clearing with a system already used by the CME and Nymex.
Bringing trading pits for all of Matif's fixed-income
contracts onto a single "eurofloor" has reduced users' fixed costs by an
estimated 20%. In addition, traders who because of cost were not physically
present on two separate trading floors — for long and short-term contracts
— are now able to trade all products and thus contribute to liquidity.
Finally, it will facilitate certain trading strategies, including cross-contract
In other words, for Matif the euro is here and now. And we are working closely with our members as well as through the new Eurex alliance to ensure that the switchover on January 1, 1999 is a success.

Liverpool return to action in the Premier League this evening when they travel to North London for their clash with Tottenham Hotspur and Jurgen Klopp will likely rotate his team once again.
The Reds kept their unbeaten run across all competitions alive when they beat Leicester City at Anfield in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday evening and will be hoping that winning mentality can translate into their meeting with Ange Postecoglou’s side today.
Liverpool are just two points behind Manchester City, currently second in the top-flight table after an outstanding start to their campaign and will be aiming to keep that gap tight with the treble winners by taking all three points from their trip to the capital.
In terms of injuries, both Thiago Alcantara and Conor Bradley remain unavailable for selection, whilst Stefan Bajcetic will be unlikely to take a spot in the match-day squad after picking up a small calf injury following his inclusion in the midweek victory.
Klopp is expecting to have one returnee this weekend, with vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold expected to make his highly anticipated return to the starting line up after recovering from an injury that has seen him unavailable since the international break.
The Liverpool boss took to his pre-match press conference to deliver a positive update on the right-back’s potential return this weekend:
“Trent trained yesterday normal and will train today normal, and then we have to make a decision.”
“He will be in the squad, I’m not a doctor so cannot make that decision, but it looks like he can be in the squad tomorrow and play.”
How could Liverpool line up against Spurs?
We predicted that Klopp will make nine changes to his starting eleven this evening, maintaining his classic 4-3-3 formation.
In the defensive set up, we expect to see Alisson Becker reprise his role in goal replacing Caoimhin Kelleher, whilst club captain Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Andy Robertson join Ibrahima Konate to complete the back four.
In midfield we expect to see a complete reshuffle with Curtis Jones retaining his spot in the starting line up but moving into the more attacking role alongside Dominik Szoboszlai, whilst Alexis Mac Allister returns to complete the three in the centre of the pitch.
In the attacking threat, there is no doubt that Mohammed Salah will be certain to return, replacing youngster Ben Doak on the right wing, whilst Luis Diaz replaces Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez takes the centre-forward starting role over Cody Gakpo.
Keeping the momentum strong and securing another victory will be absolutely essential for Liverpool this weekend and the meeting with Spurs will be a true test of how rapidly the side have shifted their mentality and quality if they can dominate in North London.

Chico Mills, CA. LuAnne, the youngest member of the infamous Bawl basketball family, has rescinded her letter of commitment to enter UCLA in 2028 and play on the Bruins' women's basketball team. Her father, LaBore Bawl, announced the rescission early this morning in a tweet that excoriated the university's athletic director for denying LuAnne's demand to play on the men's team.
"This isn't the UCLA of coach John Wooden and athletic director Wilbur Johns. Those men would have recognized times have changed and would have given LuAnne a slot on the men's team."
The Bruin athletic department did not respond to calls from The Spoof.'
At age 6, LuAnne is the youngest athlete, male or female, to sign a commitment letter for UCLA or any other college. Technically, NCAA A regulations prohibit such letters until a student has at least reached junior high school, but Bawl's attorneys found a loophole in the rules and finagled a commitment as binding as an official letter. They also finagled a way for Bawl to rescind the commitment.
LuAnne's basketball ability became known when, in preschool, she led her Chico Mills Agnostics to the state championship. She scored 37 of her team's 39 points, including several dunks and four shots from the three point line. The next year, in kindergarten, she led the state in scoring, although the Chico Mills team failed to reach the state finals.
In a separate tweet, Bawl also revealed he had withdrawn LuAnne from the Chico Mills elementary school where she had been enrolled in first grade. "Chico Mills Elementary does not place significant emphasis on developing basketball skills so I will be home schooling LuAnne until she is ready to play professional basketball."
Bawl immediately signed LuAnne with a prominent athletic agent, Tom Cruz, who promptly placed her on an Iranian team in the Muslim World League, where she will play next summer.
Bawl acknowledged that the family was expecting a fifth child in March, but denied that he planned to form his own NBA franchise. However, rumors abound that he has urged the Chico Mills city council to build a 20,000 seat basketball arena with public funds.

Africa in on the right track to roll out new measures to catalyze innovation and scientific research but experts emphasize the need to further focus on key projects that focus on projects working towards sustainable healthcare systems.
One important way to improve public health across Africa, according to experts is to increase local manufacturing of medications and diagnostics while boosting the public health workforce at the same time.
Speaking Monday on the sidelines of the annual International Conference on Public Health in Africa (CPHIA) currently taking place in Lusaka, Zambia, Prof. Senait Fisseha, CPHIA 2023 Co-Chair; Vice President of Global Programs, Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation (STBF), highlighted the need to further take forward the scientific research to generate new knowledge in the health sector.
During the opening ceremony, speakers reflected on how African countries have shown extraordinary resilience in the face of recent disease outbreaks, including Ebola, cholera, malaria and COVID-19. Estimates by health experts indicate that the continent is still facing a significant burden of disease.
Apart from illnesses, such as malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, which contribute to an annual loss of over 227 million healthy life years, with an economic cost exceeding $800 billion, Dr. Jean Kaseya, Director General, Africa CDC told delegates that Africa faces over 100 disease outbreaks every year, translating to an average of 2 outbreaks a week.
Latest official reports indicate that the top killers in Africa remain acute respiratory infections, HIV/AIDS, diarrhea, malaria, and tuberculosis, collectively accounting for 80% of the infectious disease burden, claiming over 6 million lives each year.
At time, the outbreaks of diseases like monkeypox and Lassa fever are posing serious threats to the already overburdened health systems and our economies, Dr Kaseya suggested that supporting [African Union] Member States to build agile and efficient response mechanisms is a critical step to collectively repositioning Africa in the global health architecture.
On local manufacturing of vaccines, diagnostics, therapeutics and other health products – the top AU health official pointed out the continent is i the driver’s seat to advance home-grown solutions.
Among some of these initiatives include PAVM (the Partnership for African Vaccine Manufacturing) where stakeholders in health sectors are working to advance vaccine production from 1% currently to 60% by 2040.
Moreover, thanks to the Africa Collaborative Initiative to Advance Diagnostics (AFCAD) countries are collaboratively working to increase access to quality diagnostics towards the achievement of universal health coverage in Africa, according to the same source.
“This greater autonomy is essential to reducing the inequalities we’ve faced historically, including with the recent rollout of COVID-19 vaccines. We must continue investing in this innovation and production,” Dr Kaseya told delegates.
CPHIA 2023 is expected to feature nine plenary sessions, 14 parallel sessions, nine abstract-driven sessions, according to the organizers.

The UK government has launched a new voluntary code of practice to assist manufacturers to boost cybersecurity of IoT devices during the product design stage.
According to the government issued report, there are expected to be more than 420 million IoT devices in use across the UK within the next three years.
The code of practice was first drafted in March as part of its Secure by Design report and plays a key role in the governments five-year, £1.9bn ($2.5bn) national cybersecurity strategy to sustain its position as an international leader in the development and uptake of IoT.
Visit Innovation Enterprise's Chief Strategy Officer Summit in New York on December 6–7, 2018
Software company HP Inc. and smart home tech provider Centrica are the first companies to integrate the new code of practice.
According to UK's minister for digital and the creative Industries Margot James, "The UK is taking the lead globally on product safety and shifting the burden away from consumers having to secure their devices.
"The pledges by HP Inc. and Centrica Hive Ltd are a welcome first step but it is vital other manufacturers follow their lead to ensure strong security measures are built into everyday technology from the moment it is designed," she added.
The new code of practice outlines 13 guidelines for manufacturers in relation to storage of personal data, regular software updates, best practice of passwords for protection against emerging security threats for consumers.

All the rumors we’ve been hearing about the iPhone 6 for the past few months have sparked the interest of all iPhone fans. Many mockups have been shown, but now only 3 days away from the big unveiling in Cupertino we have new pictures and new rumors of what the iPhone is going to look like.
Many pictures have been leaked out but now with the latest revelation we can safely say that these appear to be pretty accurate representation of what we can expect. No one knows whether these pictures of a working iPhone 6 are legitimate or not but since it’s so close to the actual launch, it’s fair for us to think positively. The Passbook icon, which can be clearly seen in the photos, grabs your attention and makes you believe that this is the final cut, the new generation. There is an actual video in cyberspace with the iPhone 6 running with the iOS 8 software. The wait is finally over.
When looking forward to a new design, a new model as humans we tend to believe anything shown to us prior to seeing the actual item. Same goes for iPhones. A lot of information has been pre-released with every iPhone launch, but it is rare to see a working phone before the launch.
Over the past few months we’ve heard a lot about the new design. We’re sure most of you already know that the iPhone 6 looks a lot like the iPad Air, with a curved finish. Other rumors include the screen size. Apparently it seems there will be two screen sizes, 4.7 inches and 5.5 inches. After all this speculation, we could still be looking at a fake, but if this isn’t an iPhone 6, then someone did a damn good job to spoof us. With only 3 days to go before the launch, we won’t have to wait too much longer to confirm all these rumors.

Court Rules Against NRA and Postpones Case Against Former President Oliver North
On October 6, 2020, a New York Supreme Court (Albany County) judge ruled against the NRA in its attempt to move forward with litigation against its former board president Oliver North. Recall, in early 2019, North began making inquiries into apparent financial mismanagement and conflict of interest transactions at the NRA. His inquiries led to a power struggle within the NRA that resulted in his ouster.
The NRA sued North, seeking his removal from the NRA and the NRA Board of Directors. The Court, in its ruling, sided with North in staying the litigation between the NRA and North until the competition of the New York Attorney General’s lawsuit with the NRA and four of its top executives. The Court’s reasoned there was a “significant likelihood that determination of the [New York Attorney General case] would dispose of this case [between North and the NRA] or limit the issues to be adjudicated.” (p.14). The Court further noted that “North is obviously a key fact witness” in the New York Attorney General matter. (p.13).
This decision followed a September 28th oral argument on the issues between the parties. The transcript of that proceeding indicates that counsel for Oliver North described North’s time at the NRA as follows:
“Colonel North was a team player. He wasn’t Inspector Clouseau that arrived in the presidency and started ferreting this thing out himself. It slapped him in the face like that cold bucket of water you see put on the coach after an NFL victory. All of a sudden he’s sitting there, as president, and it’s something that shocked him and disgusted him, so what did he do? He diligently wrote down and asked the audit committee for an outside, independent investigation about the legal fees, a confidential one, just do that, don’t show North the bills, they didn’t show him the bill. He had very little power, it turns out, as president, so he established what is called, by letter of April 25, 2019, a crisis management committee to deal with all of these things; every time he was stopped by Wayne LaPierre, stopped by NRA counsel. And, Your Honor, the complaint, by the State of New York, alleges all of these things to be accurate.”

FDA investigates risk of cardiac-related deaths with Benicar in diabetics
The agency said its review is “ongoing” and it has not concluded that Benicar increases the risk of death.
The FDA is reviewing the primary data from the two long-term clinical trials “of concern,” namely ROADMAP and ORIENT, and is considering additional ways to assess the cardiovascular effects of Benicar. In both trials, patients with type 2 diabetes were given either Benicar or placebo to determine if treatment with Benicar would slow the progression of kidney disease. An unexpected finding observed in both trials was a greater number of deaths from a cardiovascular cause (MI, sudden death or stroke) in the Benicar-treated patients compared to placebo.
However, the agency noted that it “currently believes that the benefits of Benicar in patients with high blood pressure continue to outweigh its potential risks.”
According to the FDA, ARBs and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) have been evaluated in many studies involving thousands of patients at high risk for cardiovascular events, such as patients who had a previous MI or had heart failure. In these studies, no increased risk of cardiovascular-related death has been reported. In fact, the agency pointed out that some of these studies indicate ARBs and ACEIs are useful treatments for certain patients at high risk for cardiovascular events.
Olmesartan also is sold in combination with hydrocholorothiazide as Benicar HCT for the treatment of high blood pressure.

Hydroponic Farming Takes Root In CT
MAY 1, 2017 1 COMMENTS
Hydroponic Farming Takes Root In CT
SPECIAL TO THE HARTFORD BUSINESS JOURNAL
Connecticut produces a mere 1 percent or so of the fruits and vegetables eaten by its residents.
That's a statistic state agricultural experts and producers want to change.
One way they are hoping to move the needle is through a type of controlled environment agriculture, called hydroponic farming, which is an eco-friendly way of growing produce in a soilless medium, with nutrients and water.
Hydroponic farming is gaining popularity in the state and nationwide, particularly in response to consumers' shift toward healthy eating and locally grown produce, rising food prices and extreme weather conditions making it harder for traditional farming.
Joe Geremia, known as the go-to guy for hydroponics in the state, said because Connecticut has a small amount of farmable acres, it makes sense to turn to hydroponic farming.
"It's nearly impossible [for Connecticut] to feed itself," said Geremia, who is a partner in Four Season Farm LLC, which will develop 10 acres of land in Suffield as a startup hydroponic farm. The farm, which the state has invested $3 million in, is expected to generate 40 jobs over the next two years and produce millions of pounds of tomatoes.
"It's a perfect thing for Connecticut. We can do more per acre, if we can do it indoors," said Geremia, who runs seven acres of greenhouses in Wallingford.
Geremia and others say more Connecticut farmers and greenhouse operators are adopting controlled environment agriculture.
"More people are embracing indoor technology in farming," Geremia said. "The trend is upward."
Hydroponic farming industry revenues, which reached $821.1 million nationwide in 2016, have grown at an annual rate of about 4.5 percent since 2011, according to research from IBISWorld.
And of the 2,347 hydroponic farm businesses that existed in 2016, 3.8 percent operated in Connecticut, according to IBISWorld.
Four Season Farm LLC, which is expected to break ground this spring, plans to produce 5.75 million pounds of tomatoes the first year and 7.5 million pounds by the third year. The farm plans to add cucumbers, peppers and micro-greens.
In a February publication put out by the state Department of Agriculture, Commissioner Steven Reviczky said the Suffield project could lead the way to transforming Connecticut's greenhouse industry.
"Hydroponic and other types of indoor farming are becoming increasingly effective alternatives to traditional growing methods in many parts of the world," Reviczky said. "Connecticut has a well-established greenhouse industry that I believe could make the transition to growing food 12 months a year, and has the customer base to support it."
Hydroponic farmer Allyn Brown, who has been producing lettuce on his Cheshire farm for three years, and on his Preston farm for six years, said there is a resurgence of indoor agriculture.
"It's a growing business in the northeast," Brown said. "We run 52 weeks a year. On an acre, you produce more indoors than out."
It's seen as a win-win for both consumer and farmer, farmers say.
Consumers — who are increasingly pushing for fresh vegetables and fruits year-round — gain by getting locally sourced fresh produce whenever they want it.
Hydroponic farmers winbecause instead of growing crops only four or five months of the year, they can be year-round producers, leading to new and more revenue opportunities.
"The reality is, if we are going to provide more local food when people want it, we have to figure out how to do it off-season," said Henry Talmage, executive director of the Connecticut Farm Bureau, and a vice chairman of the Governor's Council for Agricultural Development.
The Governor's Council, which was created in 2011, is looking to create a strategic plan for Connecticut agriculture, including looking at ways to increase by 5 percent the amount of consumer dollars spent on Connecticut-grown farm products over the next few years through 2020.
Talmage says while there are disadvantages to hydroponic farming, like high labor, energy and transportation costs, Connecticut does have several things going for it.
For one, Connecticut has a very robust greenhouse industry, which means that facilities already exist for hydroponic farming.
Connecticut is also in a "high-market corridor," between Boston and New York and near Philadelphia and Washington.
When dealing with perishable items, it's good to be closer to the markets you are supplying, Talmage said. "It's crazy when our food travels 1,500 miles to get to us. Connecticut is in a position to do this better than other New England states."
Brown, who owns Maple Lane Farms in Preston and Maple Lane Farms II in Cheshire, agreed that Connecticut is in a good geographic position for hydroponic farming.
His two farms produce 1.5 million heads of hydroponically grown bibb lettuce annually.
"It's got a great flavor," he said of the lettuce that is made without pesticides, is dirt free and stays fresh for a long period of time.
"Chefs really like to use the lettuce (which comes attached to the root ball) because it's so fresh and it is all usable," Brown said.
Maple Lane sells the product to grocery stores like Stop & Shop and LaBonne's as well as to wholesalers.
"They want it 12 months a year," Brown said, of the grocery stores.
The demand is a great thing for local farmers, and farmers hope the desire for local produce continues.
"You are supporting local agriculture as you purchase it," Brown said.

The amount of pressure required for effective CPAP therapy varies according to sleep stage, sleep position, and other factors. Insufficient pressure results in ineffective therapy while too much pressure can lead to discomfort, non-compliance, and pressure-related side effects.
ResMed™s AutoSet II is an automatic titration system for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). AutoSet devices adjust pressure on a breath-by-breath basis to suit patient needs as they vary throughout the night. As a result, the patient receives the minimum pressure required for effective therapy. The lower pressures may improve patient comfort, reduce pressure-related side effects, and lead to increased patient compliance.
Setting a new industry standard in quiet therapy and comfort, ResMed™s new sophisticated motor design delivers superior performance at a lower effort while cutting device noise significantly. By reducing noise, Easy-Breathe technology enables patients and their bed partners to sleep peacefully through the night.
Easy-Breathe technology combines new software, a quieter motor and improved EPR for maximum comfort and a quiet night™s sleep. With Easy-Breathe technology, EPR is integrated with AutoSet technology for pressure relief that continually adjusts to patients™ pressure needs, breath by breath.
Pressure relief for more natural breathing
Featuring ResMed™s improved EPR with Easy-Breathe technology, the S8 AutoSet II offers pressure relief delivered in a smooth waveform that mimics patient breathing. With a choice of three different EPR comfort levels, the S8 AutoSet II with Easy-Breathe technology allows customized comfort for breathing that feels natural.
How does EPR work™
When the patient exhales, the S8 flow generator detects the beginning of exhalation and reduces motor speed to drop pressure. The patient or clinician chooses one of three comfort levels to determine the degree by which pressure will drop:
Setting 1 - mild comfort (1 cm H2O)
Setting 2 - medium comfort (2 cm H2O)
Setting 3 - maximum comfort (3 cm H2O)

The biggest stag and hen party trends you can expect to see for 2023 has been revealed by Britain’s leading stag and hen party organisers - Last Night of Freedom.
Over 250,000 couples in the UK tie the knot in the UK each year, however given that many people had to postpone due to the coronavirus pandemic, this number is on the rise. This also means that stag and hen parties will also be increasing. Last Night of Freedom has enjoyed their busiest year in 2022 so far.
The trends emerging for 2023 range from celebrity guests accompanying your night out, to jetting off to budget friendly destinations. Last Night of Freedom’s managing director Matt Mavir has now revealed the five biggest trends.
The first one is affordability, due to the cost of living increase means that brides and grooms are searching for cheaper ways to enjoy their parties. Matt said: “Everybody currently wants value for money, and that includes stags and hens,” That means groups are increasingly turning to destinations that have a reputation for being cheaper, especially as there’s a chance at least a few people in the group won’t be that flush.” Last Night of Freedom have seen a huge demand for budget friendly destinations such as Benidorm.
Celebrity guests are the second most popular trend emerging. This trend was sparked by websites such as Cameo and Memmo becoming increasingly popular - where celebrities send personal video messages to fans. Last Night of Freedom have now created celebrity packages to book for your night out, including appearances from Mr Motivator and Geordie Shore stars.
The third trend is class and sophistication, with Last Night of Freedom finding that the ruder traditions of stag and hen parties are coming to an end. Instagrammable hotels and destinations are on the rise. “We are seeing huge growth in the likes of Dubai as a destination,” Matt said.
Groupwear is another trend, although this one has been around for a while now. However, groupwear is now going beyond the basic stag t-shirt, as Matt explains: “It is brash, completely over-the-top – but whoever is wearing this can’t help exuding confidence.”
Lastly, night’s in are another new trend we can expect to see in 2023. The rise of party pads, (especially desired by hens), means that people are more inclined to celebrate their party in the comfort of indoors, rather than heading out to the city or on a holiday. “Rather than spend a fortune on cocktails and taxis, groups are instead buying in amazing food, drink and hen party games and doing it all under the same roof,” Matt said.

Florida coach Jim McElwain reacts after a player was injured during the first half of the team's NCAA college football game against Florida State in Tallahassee, Fla., Saturday, Nov. 26, 2016. Florida State defeated Florida 33-13. (AP Photo/Mark Wallheiser)
Jim McElwain has been linked to the opening at Oregon, but the second-year Florida head football coach said Wednesday he's had no contact with Ducks officials.
"It's always interesting this time of year and how whatever comes out,'' McElwain said, via Florida's official site. "No, I haven't heard from Oregon. The things that get thrown out there at times, I don't know how it gets linked sometimes. I got my hunch that there might be some recruiting things behind it. I don't know. A lot of time on the phone last night obviously [with recruits]."
Leaving Florida for Oregon would seem to be a lateral move at best for the 54-year-old McElwain, who is 18-7 and has won back-to-back SEC East titles with the Gators. However, the former Alabama offensive coordinator has deep ties to the West Coast.
McElwain was born in Montana, and played at Eastern Washington and had his first coaching job there. He's also coached at Fresno State and with the NFL's Oakland Raiders, and spent three seasons at Colorado State before taking the Florida job.
Nevertheless, he said he's content in Gainesville, where he earns more than $4 million per year. The Gators (8-3) face top-ranked Alabama in Saturday's SEC championship game.
"Look, I've got a heck of a job," McElwain said. "In case anyone has checked, this is the University of Florida and we're playing in what they call the SEC Championship Game. It hasn't really crossed my mind."
Oregon fired Mark Helfrich Tuesday after four seasons, including a 4-8 finish this year. In addition to McElwain, Mississippi State's Dan Mullen, Boise State's Bryan Harsin, South Florida's Willie Taggart and Western Michigan's P.J. Fleck are among those who have been linked to the opening.

Comprehensive, compact, user-friendly, and studded with full-color maps and illustrations, the Guide covers the more than 325 miles of the shoreline Bay Trail already open to the public, a corridor that will eventually encircle San Francisco and San Pablo Bays with a continuous 500-mile network of bicycling and hiking trails.
The Bay Trail offers access to commercial, industrial and residential neighborhoods; points of historic, natural and cultural interest; recreational areas like beaches, marinas, fishing piers, boat launches, and over 130 parks and wildlife preserves. It passes through highly urbanized areas like downtown San Francisco as well as remote natural areas like the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The Bay Trail consists of paved multi-use paths, dirt trails, bike lanes, and sidewalks. The Guide includes natural, cultural, and historic features that reveal the Bay Area's rich multicultural heritage. It also highlights the various ecosystems that coexist along this unique urban shoreline. Common plant and animal species are illustrated and described for easy identification. Icons indicate sites suitable for various activities: boating, fishing, biking, hiking, birdwatching, picnicking, and wheelchair riding. A reference section contains public transit information, names of Bay-related organizations, and many useful phone numbers.
"This handsome new guidebook, produced by the California State Coastal Conservancy, will make the bay much more visible to many people [...] Surprises are to be had even at well-trodden locales."
"A brand new handbook for anyone who really wants to get close to the Bay [...] Offers directions to the entire 400-mile Bay Trail route and contains hundreds of brief, clearly written descriptions of the Bay's wildlife, history, geography, and geology."
"This user-friendly guide fits easily in a backpack and is filled with information about everything from points of historic, natural and cultural interest to where to locate biking and hiking trails."
"Should be on any California road-tripper's reading list [...] sure to delight."
– Megan Sever, Earth Magazine
"As comprehensive a look at the greater Bay Area as you are going to find in a guide book of this nature. With 380 color illustrations, 48 black and white photos, 53 line illustrations (plants and wildlife) and 14 maps, the book is as attractive as it is a valuable resource."
– Register Pajaronian
"The San Francisco Bay Shoreline Guide takes us on a walking and cycling journey around San Francisco Bay, unfolding the wonder, drama and beauty of one of the great estuaries of the world."
– Robert Redford
"From the bustling waterfronts of our cities and towns, to our wild, windswept, and thankfully, protected natural wetlands, this is our fantastic guide to all of the magnificence of the San Francisco Bay Shoreline. Grab it and go on world-class journeys in our own backyard. I'll see you along the trail!"
– Doug McConnell, Television Producer and Reporter
"This guide helps to create an awareness and appreciation of San Francisco Bay."
– Sylvia McLaughlin, co-founder of Save the Bay
Praise from the previous edition:
"There are absorbing stories here for the armchair reader and detailed guides for the active explorer. Read, enjoy, and cultivate your roots in the region."
– Harold Gilliam
"Comprehensive and copiously illustrated, this Guide is a treasure-house of user-friendly information. It reveals the equivalent of a national park hitherto unknown in our midst."
– Margot Patterson Doss
"This book is a complete guide to the Bay Area. All that's missing are the smells, so perhaps the next edition should be scratch and sniff."
– Robin Williams

Victoria Pendleton is taking a pragmatic approach to the decision on her Cheltenham Festival participation, admitting "there's always next year" to achieve her ambition.
Pendleton embarked on the Betfair-backed 'Switching Saddles' challenge just over a year ago, with the ultimate aim of riding in the St James's Place Foxhunter Chase at the Festival later this month.
The dual Olympic champion cyclist suffered a blow when unseated from Pacha Du Polder on her first start under National Hunt Rules at Fakenham just under two weeks ago, but she gained swift compensation when steering that horse to victory at Wincanton on Wednesday.
Pendleton will now await the verdict of the team of experts who have guided her education in the saddle, with Pacha Du Polder's trainer Paul Nicholls, jumping guru Yogi Breisner and Lawney and Alan Hill having the final say on her Festival dream on Monday.
"The emotions are so different as I've gone from a sport where everything is so calculated to one where you probably have 10 per cent of the variables under control and the rest is down to a six-tonne thoroughbred," she told Radio 5 Live.
"I was just really focussing on my own performance and getting round safe and sound as I was so disappointed after Fakenham. I didn't do the horse or any of my coaches justice.
"Fakenham was just one of those things, but once I'd seen the footage which showed my foot getting kicked out. I just said 'Vic, you're better than that'.
"I was amazed how many photos there were though, it looks like it went on for hours and it happened in the blink of an eye.
"I bought into the challenge under the pretence that I would do everything in my power to try to qualify for the Foxhunter and I know it's a very exclusive and huge event, there was never a point when it was 100 per cent going to happen.
"I thought to myself I'd have to expect highs and lows and after Fakenham there was a lot of negative publicity and I feel I've redeemed myself a bit.
"It's up to the experts to decide if I'm ready and I trust them 100 percent. What will be will be.
"The decision hasn't been made yet, we'll let the dust settle.
"Of course I'd like to go, Cheltenham is an incredible event, I went last year, but there's a lot more riders and that makes it very, very challenging.
"I'll allow the expects to decide. It doesn't mean I won't stop trying, there's always next year."

I really do not like weeds and even worse I just do not like the whole weeding process. here is a way you can spray them away. Just put women undiluted white vinegar in a spray bottle and spray on the weeks or the grass you do not want. Do not spray this on your plants though. It also kills ants and other insects too!

Previously, on their 2014 tour, The Pretty Reckless were chosen as the support act for Fall Out Boy. The female fronted support band, who pride themselves on defining rock and roll, were perfectly suited to the concert and warmed up the audience instantly. After Taylor Momsen’s incredible performance I was pumped for the headliners and even tempted to buy tickets to her next headlining gig. The latter ensured I had high expectations for the next Fall Out Boy tour, and I was quick out the bat to buy priority tickets for the American Psycho/American Beauty shows.
Much to mine, and other fans surprise and disappointment, the support acts announced were not up to last years standard. After much anticipation they were released, and I for one could not think of a more contrasting line up for the show. The acts were named to be Professor Green and Matt and Kim. The acts, albeit good in their own right, just do not seem suited for the tour. Fans of the band generally enjoy rock music, not a mix of rap nor an unknown indie dance duo. Although Pete Wentz and the band are big Hip-hop fans who I assume want to share their interests, it just seems odd to subject fans of rock music alone out of their comfort zone, especially after they have paid for tickets, and like me, may feel cheated.
Personally, I think the bad decision will ensure the late arrival of many concert goers, a very busy bar during their performances, or a very quiet audience with little participation that are not pumped up for the headliners. The lucky few, however, whom happen to be fans of all types of music I’m sure will have the time of their life hearing everything in one place. The artist seems like he’s out to impress, already planning a heavier set that will hopefully win over the audience.
Allow me to be cynical though, since I have never been a fan of the artist and therefore did not attend his concerts. Therefore, I am not particularly impressed to have one forced onto me. I’ll be sure to review the concert after I’ve attended, but for now I am judging the gig by the support and do not have high hopes. Fingers crossed I’m wrong and Professor Green prevails meaning I haven’t wasted my time and money.

Congratulations! Gold has just opened a new era... or, rather, reopened...
Gold loses on surging greenback
On Monday, gold went down, as the evergreen buck kept adding on hopes for a Fed rate lift in December.
December delivery gold futures slipped by 1.27% on the Comex exchange trading at $1,190.30 a troy ounce.
The yellow precious commodity was suppressed after Friday’s jobs report underpinned expectations that the primary US financial institution is on the verge of lifting rates.
The American economy managed to generate fewer jobs than anticipated in September, although unemployment hit a 48-year minimum. That’s a definite sign that the US economy is currently at full-employment.
Gold normally goes down, as the evergreen buck heads north, as it’s denominated in the American dollar and respectively ultra-sensitive to any moves in this crucial currency. Bullion gets more costly for those who hold other currencies when the greenback surges and accordingly more affordable when it loses.
Tracking the US dollar’s purchasing potential against several its primary counterparts the USD index inched up by up to 0.23% ending up with 95.53.
The bond market was unavailable in observance of Columbus day, although on Friday the United States 10-Year note managed to hit its highest value observed since 2011 following the jobs figures.
Higher interest rates ramp up bond profits, thus making non-interest bearing gold less tempting to market participants. They also tend to back America’s major currency, thus making dollar-priced yellow commodity less affordable for keepers of other currencies.
On the Comex exchange other metals generally declined. As a matter of fact, silver futures went down by 2.11% coming up with a reading of $14.340 a troy ounce. As for other precious commodities, platinum futures dipped by 0.69% trading at $818.80. In addition to this, palladium futures lost 0.23% trading at $1,054.70 an ounce. As for copper futures, they headed north by 0.22% trading at $2.771 a pound.
The European Central Bank will publish the monetary policy statement with the interest rate decision on January 21, at 14:45 MT time.
Joe Biden is going to unveil a Covid-19 relief package of about $2 trillion. After this announcement, the 10-year Treasury yield rose, adding support for the USD.
The US dollar’s weakness offered a boost to emerging-market currencies and oil.

Sounds in Space
Yesterday my sister sent me this picture, taken over fifty years ago, of my mother playing me a record* on my parents' brand new stereophonic hi-fi phonograph.**
I had two LPs at the time: Disney's Alice in Wonderland and Let's All Sing with the Chipmunks. However, I suspect that the LP my mother is about to play is the stereo demonstration record that came with the phonograph: Sounds in Space.
I loved this record. I asked my parents to play it for me again and again until I'm sure they were sick to death of it. I loved the way the sound effects filled the room, and the sound of the narrator's voice and footsteps moving from one speaker to the other. But most of all, I loved the music—especially Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kijé and Lena Horne's spectacular live recording of Day In, Day Out, both of which I still love and now have on my iPod.
In this age of instant digital music, iPods, and ear buds, it's hard to imagine the excitement of a four-year-old boy hearing this album for the first time, having previously only heard recorded music from the tinny speaker of a portable record player or transistor radio. Here's a link to the first track on the record. Listen to it, and try to imagine that you are a four-year-old child hearing recorded stereophonic sound for the first time.
(By the way, that distinctive, resonant voice explaining stereophonic sound is Ken Nordine, who was pretty famous in the day for his recordings of beat poetry over jazz background music. He also served as Linda Blair's vocal coach for The Exorcist.)
*Years and years ago, in the last century—before the Internet or iPods—music used to come on vinyl discs, also called "records." A small disc, called a "45" because it played at 45 revolutions per minute, held a single song on each side. Larger discs, called "LPs" for "long-playing," played at 33 1/3 revolutions per minute and held an entire album. There were also "EPs," which were...oh, never mind. Look it up on Wikipedia, if you're really interested.
**A "phonograph" was a device for playing records. "Hi-fi" meant superior, or "high fidelity" sound, and "stereophonic"...never mind. You can look that up, too.

Las Palmas is the exciting capital of Gran Canaria, a bustling city with a strong Spanish vibe located on the northeast tip of the island. This is the place to be if you love being in the centre of the action, with beaches, landmarks, activities and great nightlife all available in the same place. Las Palmas also has great transport links, allowing you to explore the island without hiring a car.
Things To Do
The old town of Vegueta is one of the city’s most popular areas, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where you can visit the Casa de Colón museum and the Santa Ana Cathedral. Another old district that has developed into a bustling shopping area is Triana, where visitors can browse a range of high street stores and independent boutiques. Take advantage of a hop-on-hop-off bus tour for a stress-free overview of the city!
Las Palmas has two large beaches in easy walking distance of the city. Playa de las Canteras is rated as one of Europe’s best urban beaches, boasting beautiful scenery, great facilities and plenty of space. The beach has a playground and sports zone for kids, as well as changing rooms, showers and sunbeds for rent. Another popular beach is Las Alcaravaneras, where there are a marina, sailing club and luxurious yachts moored.
Food And Drink
Las Palmas has lots of international influences, which means Spanish cuisine is not the only thing on the menu. Restaurants can be found offering food from around the world, meaning you can always find what you’re in the mood for. On an evening hungry diners flock to Vegueta to eat at outdoor restaurants, and there is a wide choice or bars and nightclubs for a quick drink or a night on the town.

The War on Spam has tried a few more conventional tactics, but is still not making any inroads against the unconventional spammers.
Starting last October 1 in Japan, it became law for unsolicited emails to carry the words ‘mishodaku kokoku’ (unsolicited advertisement) in the subject line of e-mail advertisements. Immediately, of course, Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo started filtering all email containing this legally mandated phrase. Now, several months in, their informal investigation shows that the spammers either skip putting on the required phrase, or else misspell the words in an attempt to appear to comply, but actually get past the filters.
Japan is also famous for having the ‘wangiri’ (single ring call) scheme. The companies call mobile phones but only ring once. This leaves an unanswered call notification on the cellphone. Many unsuspecting users try to return the call, and reach the scammers instead. This problem was so bad, it has even paralyzed local phone networks jammed with so many attempts to one-ring phones.
In the USA, the Attorney General for the state of Missouri has proposed legislation to set up a ‘no-spam’ list for the state similar to state ‘no-call’ lists that fine telemarketers from contacting any resident that has registered their number on the list.
Something tells me that any ‘wangiri’ legislation has the best chance of actually working. Like the ‘no-call’ list situation, when a marketer uses a telephone, even if they manage to disguise the number from the unknowing call receipient, they have to obtain service from and connect through a government-licensened common point, the telecom operator. They will be able to specificallly determine where the abuses are actually accessing from and cut off their service.
The internet, and by extension the mobile spam, has no such boundaries, including being able to spoof the origin of the message. But if the heat is on, the spammers can move to another country outside the jourisdiction of whatever law is enacted, something that is cost-prohibitive for telemarketers to do in scale.
