Football clubs in western Libya decide to halt all sports activities in protest of the war on Tripoli
Football clubs in the western and central regions of Libya have taken a decision to suspend its activities and submit a formal request to cancel the Libyan Premier League.
The clubs announced on Wednesday their refusal to go on with the Libyan Premier League amid the aggression launched by what they say "war criminal" Khalifa Haftar on Tripoli, which spread death, destruction, and displacement, according to their statement.
"All sports activities at both domestic and international levels will be frozen", the clubs stressed, calling for the meeting of the General Committee to present the FIFA a message on this regard.
"There will be no form of participation or contribution to any sporting activity that does not take into account the security of the homeland and people," the statement reads, expressing surprise at the voices calling for the resumption of the league amid such situations the country is going through.
The clubs also denounced the position of the Football Association members and accused them of only being interested in keeping their posts, according to the statement.

Q: Extract only values from JSON key:value pair using python I've searched around and have not seen anything that quite covers what I need to do, so if I missed the answer in my search please refer me to the proper link, thanks in advance. Simply, all I want to do is take two values form a JSON object list that I'm calling in and remove two values from each object in the list, not the entire key:value.
My code at the moment looks like so:
import json, urllib2, pprint

url = ('url_to_be_read')
urlFile = urlib2.urlopen(url)
jsonList = json.load(urlFile)

pprint (jsonList['domain']

I had tried this way as well: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15580120/3483414 but both ways I get: "Keyerror: 'domain' "
A example of my JSON object list(after calling it and pprinting it to test) is as follows:
 # Edited as requested
 {u'data': [{u'categories': [],
             u'ip': u'123.456.78.9',
             u'domain': u'com.somedomain',
             u'handler': 7},
            {u'categories': [],
             u'ip': u'9.876.543.21',
             u'domain': u'com.differendomain',
             u'handler': 7}],
  u'elapsedTime': 130,
  u'successful': True}

The simple gist is that I just want the values from IP and domain from each object in the list. I haven't bothered to try and retrieve the second part (IP) until I get the first part figured out. Thanks for any and all help.

A: So after hacking around and a little more google, the answer I came up with was:
import requests, json

r = r.requests.get('path_to_url.tld')
j = r.text
j = json.loads(j)
json_string = json.dumps(j,sort_keys=True, indents=2)
parent = j['data']
for item in parent:
    print item["domain"]
        print item["ip"]

Which will give me what I want in my file to use later of:
someDomain.com
123.4.5.6
otherDomain.net
12.34.56.78

Thanks for everyones attempt at helping.

A sudden-death playoff, of course.
Barker and Stalla posted 19-over-par 91s that took varying paths to the final number. They then embarked in an odyssey that was as dramatic and filled with more surprises and swings in momentum as any of the previous 15 playoffs in Challenge history since the championship's inception in 1989.
How's this for a three-hole adventure over a pair of par 4s and a par 3: Barker, 5-6-8; Stalla, 5-6-9.
This was scrappy rather than sloppy golf. When Barker tapped in on the 145-yard third hole for a quintuple-bogey 8 after dunking a pair of balls in the water of the par-3, she could claim the first repeat victory in the division awarding the Carol McCue Trophy since Angela Dehning won four in succession from 2003 to 2006.
It was a wild way to all but conclude her junior career. The 18-year-old Palos Heights resident has graduated from Marist and will attend Benedictine University in Lisle in the fall.
"I'm been trying to play as much as I can, but this is my first tournament of the summer," Barker said after the 21-hole test.
Her 6 on the par-5 18th hole forced extra holes when Stalla, going into her junior year at Evergreen Park, posted a double-bogey 7.
Matching bogeys on the first playoff hole, Stalla two-putting from 15 feet and Barker matching her from 36 feet, moved the duo to the second, where a pond fronting the green makes approaches more than routine.
Barker's second from a perfect lie in the fairway landed in the grungy hazard and trickled back into the pond. Stalla hammered her approach from the left rough well over the back of the green.
Since she didn't clear the hazard, Barker had to hit her fourth across the pond, landing 25 feet past the cup. Stalla had a difficult third, a pitch to a green running away and with the pond behind it. And when she hit it, her heart was in her mouth.
It stopped on the far fringe. From there, Stalla putted to within 18 inches, and after Barker two-putted for a double-bogey 6, looked to be able to wrap up the title with a tap-in for a 5.
In a playoff, there are no easy tap-ins. Stalla's putt horseshoed out. She, too, would make a 6.
What followed was surreal. Both players splashed their tee shots into the pond on the forced-carry hole, and by a large margin. From the drop zone, Stalla airmailed an iron over the green and into the creek well behind it near the fourth tee.
Advantage Barker? Only until she chunked her third into the pond again.
"It might of been a combination of us being utterly exhausted, but we both wanted to keep pushing to see how far we could actually take it," Barker said.
What happened was Barker finally hitting dry land while Stalla was well short, and Barker eventually two-putting for a quintuple-bogey 8 from 20 feet. Stalla missed her tying putt and settled for a 9.
And the victory. Stalla at least gets to try again next year.
Danielle Collina of Palos Heights was third, firing a 107.

50 Cent Says 'I'm Still 50 Cent' After His Song With NLE Choppa Goes To #1 On Urban Radio
A report from Hot New Hip Hop today said that 50 Cent has managed to score a number one hit again on the urban radio charts with the release of his song, "Part of the Game," as part of Power Book III: Raising Kanan. The song features Rileyy Lanez and NLE Choppa.
According to the outlet, the track was immediately a fan favorite upon its release, sparking a lot of people on social media to wonder if 50 Cent would release a full-length project sometime in the future.
50 Cent – who also goes by his real name, Curtis Jackson – has been a lot busier in the film and television business over the last decade. Even though the rapper is 45-years-old, he can still keep up with some of his contemporaries who are much younger.
According to Hot New Hip Hop, 50 Cent's new track has been number one on urban radio as the most-added song. Apparently, 50 Cent is thrilled about it, after all, it's been a long time since he has had a hit track. You can check out the post from the rapper below:
https://www.instagram.com/p/CJ976E1n5f4/
50 Cent was clearly feeling himself; he insinuated that the hit wasn't a surprise because he's "still 50 Cent LOL." In addition to his music and acting career, the rapper has been all over the headlines in recent memory for his various social media antics and trollery.
For example, the former performing artist famously bought the entire first few rows at a Ja Rule concert as a way of just messing with him. As most know, Ja Rule and 50 Cent have feuded for years.
Furthermore, Hot New Hip Hop says he has been working as a producer a lot more over the last few years, in addition to his various entrepreneurial endeavors including Le Chemin Du Roi and Branson Cognac.
Last year, 50 Cent was in the headlines after he came out to slam Kamala Harris and Joe Biden's tax plan that would raise taxes on people who make over $400,000 per year. 50 Cent sparked controversy when he urged his followers to vote for Trump instead.

Mario Judah's leaked video outraged on Twitter, Reddit, and Instagram, Details discussed
September 6, 2022 September 6, 2022 by Phoebe Pinto
Mario Judah Douglas, an American rock singer and rapper has recently found himself on the trending page of Twitter. This is reportedly due to the publishing of a tape that is said to be Douglas's personal audio collection. After being overwhelmed with unfavorable comments and criticism, the artist, who is just 22 years old, seems to have had a private film of himself posted online. The vast majority of them experienced feelings of embarrassment and humiliation as a result of the alleged film being posted on the internet when they saw his name on the trending tab on Twitter. This was particularly true for those individuals who had first given him their backing. As a direct consequence of this, they produced a number of amusing online posts that did an excellent job of expressing the scandalous feelings that they were experiencing.
A leaked video of Mario Judah trends on Twitter Details discussed
The song "Die Very Rough" was published by Mario Judah in September 2020, and it soon became a viral success throughout all of the main social media networks almost immediately after its release. His one-of-a-kind approach to singing and arresting visual presentation with a red mop of curls, thick eye makeup, and a dazzling variety of jewellery left a lasting mark on the people in the crowd. It resulted in a burst of memes and brought the attention of the entertainment business, which had been previously ignorant of his eccentric manner and peculiar singing style.
After playing at music festivals and publishing cover versions of songs such as DaBaby's and Roddy Ricch's Rockstar, he got increasingly well-known online over the course of the subsequent few months. In an interview that has since become legendary, he spoke about his history, present, and future. In that interview, he made a memorable contrast between his love of singing and the process of discovering a cheat code in a video game. Even though Mario Judah is almost always in the news for all the wrong reasons online, the reason he is now trending on Twitter is because of a report that an explicit tape of his has been made public.
A variety of Twitter users reacted to the trend with a variety of emotions, including laughter, terror, and disgust, all of which are reflected here in some form or another. Throughout the course of the last several months, many notable persons have been the subject of rumours that have circulated on Twitter. Based on the remarks made above, it would seem that Mario Judah is the most recent individual to be the subject of speculations about a scandalous video release. The news cycle on Twitter has been focusing on a wide variety of famous people increasingly throughout the course of the last several months. The remarks made above suggest that Mario Judah is the most recent person to be humiliated by the compromising video that has gained widespread attention online.

SYDNEY'S METHOD STUDIOS LIGHTS UP BRIGHT AS WILL SMITH COMES TO TOWN
Following news that Netflix has confirmed a sequel of its Will Smith feature film Bright, the actor recently visited Australia to promote the film, catching up with Australian co-stars Joel Edgerton and Lucy Fry on the Sydney leg of his tour.
Instagram posts from @willsmith.
Method Studios Sydney team (formerly Iloura), led by VFX Supervisor Jason Billington were the lead visual effects vendor for the urban fantasy, helping to establish the alternate reality of Bright, as a gritty modern-day LA filled with fairies, dragons, orcs and elves.
To create the film's main setting of downtown Los Angeles, Method digitally modified the city's existing skyline to create an affluent, segregated "Elf Town" that is the centre point of the Bright universe. Using reference photography and satellite imagery, artists recreated shinier, more opulent versions of iconic buildings, at the same time adding new fantasy landmarks to liven up the environment.
"We wanted to establish an ultra-realistic magical world, different from more traditional fantasy films," noted Billington. "Our challenge was making it feel believable yet enchanting, using science fiction for inspiration. This alternate Los Angeles could be happening while you sleep – it's everything you know, but with a magic vibe."
Central to the film's story is a magic wand, an ancient and powerful artifact that is sought by a group of gangsters, corrupt cops and powerful elves. Human LAPD officer Daryl Ward (Smith) and his orc partner Nick Jakoby (Edgerton) stumble upon the wand and become entangled in an epic battle with the forces that are after it.
During production, a practical wand was filmed on set, and artists were tasked with augmenting its appearance and supernatural powers. After multiple rounds of look development, the team arrived at a final look for the wand which consisted of a bright white tip and glowing blue core. When activated, the wand becomes a weapon, erupting with flares, smoke and a powerful pulsating aura.
No fantasy world is complete without a cast of mythical creatures. For Bright, Method modelled, textured and animated a fairy and centaur to add to the inhabitants of its alternate reality world.
"For the centaur, we realized early on that a human head and torso on a horse's body looks ridiculous in most cases," Billington said. "For a believable centaur, we had to work on the proportions and find the correct balance between the horse and human elements. Then we added digital SWAT armor to the final creature and gave the animators free reign to create its movements."
Method also created a spectacular slow-motion collision sequence in which a vehicle crashes into an invisible perimeter created by the wand. The technically challenging shot was filmed on a bluescreen, using wires to pull the vehicle and mirror the motion of the impact. Artists match-moved the live action footage using a digital version of the vehicle and incorporated multiple layers including additional live action plates, debris, smoke and shockwave effects.
Using original photography for reference, as well as LIDAR scans and geometry of the set, a virtual environment was built to allow for an intricate 360° camera pan from the vehicle's driver to the passenger in the backseat during the moment of impact.
In the Bright universe, fairies are viewed as menacing pests, and when one is caught eating seeds from a bird feeder outside Officer Ward's house, he batters and kills the creature with a broom. Having been briefed that the fairy's movements should be reminiscent of a hummingbird, Method crafted the fairy from scratch, endowing the pesky creature with a body covered in tiny feathers and a degenerated face complete with scars, pimples and dirt.

Another Origin Theory?

There is a lot of questioning and debating about how life got its start. This one from Science Daily is probably not new to some of you. However, it just happens to be connected to my uneducated guess. For what it is worth:
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/09/170906114611.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily%2Ftop_news%2Ftop_science+%28ScienceDaily%3A+Top+Science+News%29
Has the organic material that contributed to the origin of life on Earth existed for 4 billion years - long before our solar system existed? And, if that is so, why not on other solar systems within our galaxy?
¶ 1 - The Rosetta space probe discovered a large amount of organic material in the nucleus of the comet "Chury". Researchers now advance the theory that this matter has its origin in interstellar space and predates the birth of the solar system.
Final ¶ - If cometory organic molecules were indeed produced in interstellar space --- and if they played a role in the emergence of life on our planet, as scientists believe today --- might they not also have seeded life on many other planets of our galaxy?

Panspermia is a very popular theory which as you mention is getting more interest due to new hard evidence of extraterrestrial organic material.
It's also another chink in the already silly "irreducible complexity" arguments of Intelligent Design proponents like Michael Behe, since it provides another 10 billion years for organic/self-replicating molecules to evolve.
No connections found yet, but we're getting closer, now that we're starting to find more organic material close by, and people are working on trying to detect evidence of organic matter over long distances from observing the new planets we're discovering in the galaxy.
But yes, if the stuff is floating around all over the place, not only is it more likely there's other critters out there, but they may be related....
Like many of the ideas that mattered in the American Revolution, extraterrestrials got their start in antiquity. The Greek philosopher Epicurus speculated that the universe must be infinite, eternal and abounding in 'worlds' just like our own. :phones:

I occasionally view of "Ancient Aliens" on The History Channel, and it sometimes causes me to break out into loud laughter. My favorite quote from that show that I always hear is "Alien researchers say, "Yes." I am just waiting for them to use that to promote some kind of product, kind of like the "4 out of 5 dentists" phrase.
Some of the reason I enjoy that program , besides the entertainment value, is that I am thinking, "What if some of it is actually true?"
Oh gosh, I live for this guy with the Minbari hairdo...
The third planet is incapable of supporting life, Our scientists have said there's far too much oxygen in their atmosphere, :phones:
Back before my science brain awakened, I once read a theory stating that a comet had crashed into planet Earth and left behind rocks which contained early forms of iife. These rocks landed on -- where else? -- Africa. At the time it seemed a bit preposterous. I was asking did Africa even exist that far back. I went no further but now i ask: Isn't it fact that some time after our planet was formed, a comet did strike again? And isn't it possible that this is indeed the connection?
Wild as some theories - especially mine -- are, I like leaving everyone free to dream up their own ideas. You just never know, do you?
Well, one theory about why we have water is that comets in very large numbers crashed into the Earth in its youth, providing ample opportunity for such a transfer, much earlier than what you're thinking about.
That theory has fallen by the wayside as an explanation for why we have water because people have done the math and we've got more water than we should if that was the delivery mechanism. But it's undoubtedly true that we got hit by lots and lots of comets early on, quite likely somewhere in there by objects that had an origin outside our solar system.
Four billion years is a really long time.
Fate laughs at probabilities.:phones:
Fate laughs at probabilities. :phones:
I did not know that theory about why we have water has been tossed aside. I always wonder about the 'where's" we ask and answers we sometimes reject. . I think of the elements. e.g. Iron may not have existed as "iron" at the Big Bang or whatever beginning. But didn't the makings of that iron (and other elements) already exist in the hydrogen and helium? And the same story for the materials that ended up as organic and the start of life?
Just pondering a bit.
Edited September 12, 2017 by Buffy
Fixed your quoting
I did not know that theory about why we have water has been tossed aside.
This surprised me too, but I heard Alex Filippenko describe the problem on a new episode of (I think) the Science Channel show The Planets. I've met Alex, and he's a good guy. Very funny too! :cheer:
I always wonder about the 'where's" we ask and answers we sometimes reject. . I think of the elements. e.g. Iron may not have existed as "iron" at the Big Bang or whatever beginning. But didn't the makings of that iron (and other elements) already exist in the hydrogen and helium? And the same story for the materials that ended up as organic and the start of life?
Most models of the big bang only result in hydrogen, helium, lithium and beryllium, the four lightest elements. Everything else has to come from mooshing those into stars and having intense gravity create heavier nuclei, and after supernova-ing: spitting them out to make planets in subsequent solar systems.
That's just the current theory though, and who knows what we'll find out next! :cheer:
It's amazing to me that we humans have the intellectual capacity to ask deep questions and to devise methods for learning how the universe works and how its contents evolve with time, :phones:
Right. our ability to think and know and plan and dream and all the other conscious activities that cannot be seen or measured or cut open for examination are far more fascinating than our original formation as a material creature. But, of course, there first had to be an awakening - life.
Back to those light elements, that is what I mean when I say all that followed came out of the activity of those. I shall have to tell you my theory of where we came from. Later. Meanwhile: "mooshing"? <G>
There is a book called "Origins" by Neil DeGrasse Tyson and Donald Goldsmith. In it is a chapter discussing the theory of how our planet got water. I just laid it out to re-read that when I get time.
exchemist 732
Have you read it yet? I am interested. I read at one time most of the water came from outgassing of volcanoes in the early Earth. Later, I think, then there was an idea a lot of it must have come from comets, which now I see is falling from favour again.
Regarding the origin of life, I suppose I am interested in how the building blocks first got assembled. From that point of view the Panspermia theories are really just kicking the can down the road, because even if life did not truly arise here on Earth, it arose somewhere, by some process that it would be good to understand.
I have read it once. I need to go back to it. But that has to wait a bit. Right now I am playing catchup. Every once in a while I get overwhelmed with too many "must do's". You know the feeling?

I have read a few guesses over time.
Here is one (most recent) from Naked Earth (subtitle: The New Geophysics), by Shawna Vogel, pages 179-180:
According to [Carl] Woese's evolutionary tree, the most primary of the present-day bacteria lie within a group called the achaebacteria. All achaebacteria thrive in intense heat, and most derive their energy from breaking chemical bonds. The bacteria that inhabit the undersea hot springs fall into this group. Woese believes that these modern speies evolved from a similar type of ancient bacteria that probably grew at temperatures near the boiling point of water and may have drawn its energy from the sulfurous compounds spewing out of hydrothermal vents. If that's true, the bacteria seen at vents today could be the closet descendent we know of the original forms of life on earth. That would imply that the earth's unique way of venting its heat had a tremendous impact on that dawning era when life was first gaining its toehold on the planet.
Even if sulfur-loving bacteria were the first creatures to appear on earth, though, this is still not the complete solution to the origin of life. "There's still left the question of how does all that information get into the first little cell," says [John] Corliss, who is now at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland working on one aspect of this problem. How did life take the complicated step from a batch of chemicals in the prebiotic soup to an organized entity that could reproduce itself? That has proved to be the most difficult question for researchers to answer.
I'm agnostic with respect to this theory and all others. I have thought, prior to reading this book, that one possibility is that life pervades the Universe and it is quite "cheap."
When we have fully explored our solar system, we might get an answer or, at least, a clue.
Yes indeed, take your time, I'm not trying to hassle you, just curious.
I have re-read the thread. We started with origin of life and added origin of water. Since this chapter I mentioned is titled Life in the Universe but goes into origin of water, which was it you wanted me to extrapolate? I thought it was how water appeared on Earth but should check. I have a feeling the two will come together.
I should get to that this weekend - I hope.
1. Earth there
2. Off-Earth material; comet, anything pulled into the gravitational extent of our solar system.
3. Planted by intelligent beings; They being very highly advanced.
4. God
Did I leave anything out?
This is one of the ultimate questions.
Edited September 21, 2017 by scherado
Scherado, you are asking for what you are not going to get. Your questions fit but the answer is "not yet". We cannot prove what is "out there". If you will Google "Drake Equation", you will see why. It doesn't work because we do not know enough. All we have is theories and theories are not facts. This book deals with facts as we know them. So, we have to say what the authors say: "How did life begin on Earth?" And you've already hit the nail on the head with:
"I'm agnostic with respect to this theory and all others. I have thought, prior to reading this book, that one possibility is that life pervades the Universe and it is quite "cheap.""
"When we have fully explored our solar system, we might get an answer or, at least, a clue."
Drake Equation takes care of your second statement. We can't do it yet. As for your first statement, the authors admit that one thing makes if very likely that life exists on other planets in our galaxy. The basic form of life which consists of hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen just happen to also be the four most common elements in the universe. Wouldn't that make you speculate that life does exist elsewhere - life very similar to what you find on Earth? Perhaps IF some other elements has not overwhelmed those in other areas. Here we use Copernicus's lesson: "We are not special" meaning that our four basic elements are not necessarily those of life elsewhere in the universe. Or that other early life formed differently for some reason.
So, because - as the non-solution to Drake Equation shows - we cannot prove anything about life "out there" - and remembering Copernicus - we start with life on Earth. That gets to your (and everybody else's) question: How did inanimate matter "sprout" (my term) organic life? Again, we do not know. And another question comes first. Original life on Earth was anoxic and we ave oxygen.
Problem: Atmospheric oxygen was the greatest pollutant to ever occur on Earth. Worse, oxygen kills. So, how did we manage to not just survive but actually require oxygen to survive? The original primitive organisms on Earth were anoxic. Oxygen should have killed off all life on earth. So, what happened? They either adapted or died. Is this the first evolution? Creatures who should not have survived in that atmospheric oxygen adapted and survived. Now, strangely, we cannot survive without oxygen.
Actually, there are still forms of life that must hide from oxygen or die. Every animal's stomach (including our own) harbors billions of organisms that thrive in that anoxic atmosphere.
Now I must take a break and come back with the Bombardment and another theory. I shall return anon.
More: And then there were the Bombardments which we all know too much about to even mention. Asteroids, meteors, comets. Life was destroyed by some of the collisions and might have been planted also. Especially by the comets. Cometary bombardments provided Earth with lesser elements needed for life. And comets brought water for our oceans and material from which life could begin. Life itself may have arrived in these comets but, due to the low temperatures , this is arguable.
So we are left with "did life begin on Earth, helped along by materials brought in bombardments or was life itself brought to Earth? In my world, everyone is entitled to a theory so long as it adds up as well as does 2+2. :-) What we know is that there followed tranquility. But the mystery still exists. The authors say "Great rewards lie in store for those who can resolve this mystery.
There is no mention of "highly intelligent, highly advanced beings" planting life here. Nor is there any mention of a god creating life. The book starts by mentioning religious groups who fight scientists over the ideas but that is another story. There is only Darwin's "little warm pond" which I think has been tried but not yet succeeded. And (not in this book written in 2004) the idea of volcanic source of life. There is much more about possibilities but we can't cover it all. From here I think we approach the idea of life forming in oceans. I have not yet re-read that. I'm eager to do so asap. But, again, I suspect you have already read a lot of this theory of hot springs deep in the ocean around which life forms. We shall see if there is anything new.
Only --- heaven help us --- we still have not answered the question of how inanimate materials gave us life forms. We shall see if the authors talk about that. I suspect it comes in the future.
Until later. I do hope some of this is worth reading.

Quinnipiac University to host Irish Famine summer school
Quinnipiac University in Connecticut will host an academic conference, "Famine Summer School: Heroes of Black '47," from June 1 -3.
The Irish Famine Summer School will be hosted June 1 - 3. National Famine Museum
Irish history scholars will gather at Quinnipiac University from June 1-3 for "Famine Summer School: Heroes of Black '47," an academic conference to commemorate the 175th anniversary of the worst year of the Irish Famine.
Christine Kinealy, director of Ireland's Great Hunger Institute at Quinnipiac, will kick off the conference at 5:30 pm, leading a 5K walk in memory of Irish and Ukrainian refugees. The walk will start at the Farmington Canal Trail on Sherman Avenue in Hamden.
Following the walk, attendees are invited to nearby Mikro Depot, Depot Avenue, for a 6:30 pm talk by two historians who helped launch Ireland's National Famine Way, a 100-mile walk from Roscommon to Dublin, recreating the route taken by 1,490 famine refugees in 1847.
The conference will continue on June 2 at 9:30 am with the panel discussion, "Ireland and Ukraine: The Past is Not Over," at the Arnold Bernhard Library at Quinnipiac, 275 Mount Carmel Avenue. Panelists will include Kinealy, who will explain how famine is used as a weapon; Joe McDonagh of Hamden, who will discuss "Imaging Famines in Ukraine and Ireland;" and the Reverend Jordan Lenaghan, executive director of university religious life at Quinnipiac, who will talk about his recent humanitarian mission to the Poland-Ukraine border.
Gerard Moran, emeritus professor at Galway University, will deliver the keynote address, "Sending Back Ireland's Paupers: The Repatriation of the Irish from Britain During the Great Hunger," at 11 am.
After Moran's talk, Jason King, academic coordinator of the Irish Heritage Trust, which operates the National Famine Museum, Strokestown Park, will screen "Great Famine Voices," a series of open house and digital events in the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. "The Famine Irish in Chicago," featuring Professor Sean Farrell of Northern Illinois University, also will be screened.
The conference will then move to the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center, 1 State Street, New Haven, for "Nothing Kills Like Hunger," a presentation by Kirk Prichard, vice president of programs for Concern U.S. His talk starts at 3:30 pm.
On June 3, the conference will shift to the Center for Religion at Quinnipiac, where experts will participate in a 10 am roundtable discussion on "Heroes of Ireland's Great Hunger." The conference will conclude with a reception to launch Kinealy's latest two books, "Heroes of Ireland's Great Hunger" and "More Heroes of Ireland's Great Hunger."
All events are free, but donations on behalf of Ukraine are welcome. For more information, visit StrokestownPark.ie. To register, contact Celeste Valentino at Celeste.Valentino@qu.edu.

3 Halloween Movies that Disturbed You as a Kid (And Are Even More Disturbing as an Adult)
Willie Muse
@Williesillie2
What It's About
The hilarious cult classic follows the Sanderson Sisters, three bumbling witches who, thanks to a curse, are resurrected on the night of Halloween. It is up to our protagonist Max, his sister Dani, and his love interest Allison to stop the witches from gaining immortality before the sun rises... also there's a talking cat.
Why It Disturbed You as a Kid
Though the witches are mostly comedic in nature, there are a few moments when they're truly terrifying. The scene when one of the witches lies in a bed and pretends to be Dani is enough to make any kid want to sleep in their parents' bed for at least a week, and the scene when the witches break into Max's house by slicing the screen window open with their fingernail is just flat out creepy.
Still, the most traumatic scene has to be when the talking cat, Binx, gets run over by a bus. That's when the mostly fantastical movie decides to give us a healthy of realism by giving us a fairly graphic depiction of feline roadkill. That Binx doesn't actually die, but just inflates himself back to life like some creepy, zombie beach ball doesn't make things better.
Why It's Worse Now
Watching the movie as an adult, you pick up on some things you miss as a kid. Mainly, that the witches are basically just cannibals and the movie is largely about murdering and eating children. This isn't just implied, either. One of the first images of the movie is of the Sanderson Sisters sucking the soul out of a little pilgrim girl. The scene goes on for a few minutes after they finish stealing her essence, but if you look closely you can still see her lifeless body hunched over in a chair in the background. Then, towards the end of the scene, angry villagers come knocking at the witches door, and in an effort to hide their misdeed, they drape a blanket over the child's corpse. That this all plays out like an episode of Three's Company makes it infinitely creepier.
Oh, and there's also all those parts where Sarah Jessica Parker's character gets noticeably aroused at the prospect of torturing children, but I don't want to talk about those parts because, frankly, I'd like to sleep tonight.
Everyone's favorite moron, Ernest, accidentally fulfills a prophecy and brings an ancient evil back to life. Basically, it's just Hocus Pocus, only it replaces the witches with trolls and stars the voice of the slinky dog from Toy Story.
For a movie that's basically just Jim Varney being chased by a troll, there are actually a lot of pretty well crafted in scares in there. Ask anyone whose seen the movie if they remember the scene in which a little girl checks for monsters under her bed, only to turn around and see a the monster is actually lying in her bed with her. I guarantee you at least fifty per cent of them will tell you they were deeply scarred by it.
Though it seems innocent to a child, there is something deeply unsettling about the fact that Ernest is a grown man who only spends time with children. I'm not saying that Ernest is up to anything sinister, but no parents should be letting their kids play with him. I don't care how nice he is, you don't let your kids go into the woods with the local garbage man. Oh, yeah, did I mention they spend most of their time in the woods, because they do. Yeah, the whole movie is predicated on the fact that Ernest wants to build a secret treehouse fort for him, and a bunch of other people's children. Which... yeah... Also the movie makes it very clear that he has multiple personalities, so while Ernest may not want to do anything more than build a fort, who knows what kind of crazy shit the other fifty people in his head are into.
The story follows Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, who has grown weary of Halloween. When he accidentally stumbles on Christmas Town, Jack decides to break out of his rut by kidnapping Santa and taking over the holiday.
The residents of Halloween Town are basically just a laundry list of things that make kids shit their pants: Ghosts, goblins, witches, Satan, vampires, two-faced politicians, axe-murder victims, and, of course, a clown who can tear its own face off. Of all of the characters in the movie, though, none is more frightening to a child than Oogie Boogie, a gambling and (judging by his love of black lights) cocaine addicted ghost, who is made of burlap and full of bugs. The scene in which he tries to chop Santa up on a conveyer belt has probably caused enough children's tears to fill an ocean.
Watching the movie as an adult, you realize that there is one character whose clearly scarier than Oogie Boogie: Dr. Finklestein. Looking how Paul Schaefer might if he were a paraplegic drag queen, Dr. Finklestein is a mad scientist who created Sally, and who spends much of his time in the movie trying to prevent her from escaping. This implies two things about the doctor that are deeply unsettling: First, because Sally is comprised of stitched together body parts, it means that at some point in his life, Dr. Finklestein defiled at least two corpses. Secondly, even though he imbued Sally with free will, he apparently has no problem with forcing her into a life of unwanted labor. So basically, he's both a grave robber AND a slave master. In a kids movie.

Try to doing this in my constructor.

core.createProxyConfig(sipAddress, domain, null, true);

where sipAddress is "sip:USER@DOMAIN"
EDIT by OP:
core.createProxyConfig();

doesn't contain required fields to register so we have to pass some parameters that are required to register.
sipAddress is used to register you (your IP and Port) on the SIP Server
domain :- any sip domain


With the steady development of new procedures and the growth of outpatient surgery centers, the number of individuals undergoing surgeries each year has greatly risen in this country. For many, these procedures improve their quality of life. But all surgeries carry the risk of surgical errors.
Breakstone, White & Gluck is a Boston law firm that handles complex cases of surgical malpractice and medical malpractice. We have an intricate knowledge of surgical procedures and work with an established network of medical professionals who review claims. We have over 85 years combined experience handling medical malpractice cases involving Boston hospitals and medical institutions across Massachusetts.
Surgical malpractice includes the negligent performance of an operation, the failure to recognize complications during surgery or leaving surgical instruments inside the patient. It may also involve negligence during pre-operation and post-operation procedures. Many cases of surgical malpractice fall under the category of wrong-site surgery. This is when a procedure is performed on the wrong patient or the wrong section of a patient's body.
Surgical errors can be life-changing and fatal. Each year, thousands of people die as a result of surgical negligence. Those who survive may face a lengthy recovery process. This may include corrective surgery, physical and emotional therapy and time away from work.
Where Can Surgery Malpractice Take Place?
Surgical malpractice can occur in any setting where a physician performs a medical procedure, including in a hospital, doctor's office, outpatient surgery center, dentist's office or specialist's office. Surgical malpractice can happen during major, minor and elective surgeries. The procedure may or may not involve anesthesia.
What if You or a Loved One Are The Victim of Surgical Malpractice?
You may discover surgical malpractice occurred in one of several ways. First, you may be told of an error immediately following the procedure. Or you may experience pain and other symptoms over subsequent days. In some cases, the surgical malpractice may go undetected for a period of time until you experience symptoms or suffer an injury. When time has lapsed, many people do not realize the symptoms may be associated with their surgery.
What if a Loved One Dies as a Result of Surgical Malpractice?
When someone dies as a result of surgical malpractice, there may be a case of wrongful death. Wrongful death cases are always emotional, life-altering and often create financial hardship. Wrongful death that occurs during surgeries is especially traumatic because they are unexpected. Families expect their loved one to emerge from the procedure in better health and instead learn the individual did not survive.
The law strictly governs who may recover compensation. Claims must be brought through the estate of the deceased relative and are brought by an administrator or an executor. Damages may include loss of future net income, loss of companionship and love, and loss of support. Punitive damages may be awarded in some cases.
It's important to contact an experienced medical malpractice to preserve your rights for compensation and to conduct a rigorous investigation.

Terrorism in the Philippines and U.S.-Philippine security cooperation
Initiative: Southeast Asia Insights Series: Brookings East Asia Commentary

Media Inquiries 202.797.6103
This commentary is adapted from the author's Congressional testimony at the House Foreign Affairs Committee Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific hearing, "Black Flags over Mindanao," on July 12, 2017.
Events of the past few months—in particular, the prolonged standoff in Marawi, Mindanao—have significantly increased concerns about terrorist activity in the southern Philippines, and in Southeast Asia more broadly. The shape and focus of the U.S.-Philippine alliance has already been somewhat in flux with the ascension of relatively new leadership in both countries—Rodrigo Duterte having assumed the Philippine presidency in the middle of 2016 and Donald Trump's inauguration in the United States taking place in early 2017. The evolution of the terrorist threat in the region emphasizes the importance of a productive, cooperative security relationship between the two countries. Accordingly, this commentary outlines six policy recommendations for how the United States should adapt its security cooperation with the Philippines to address the region's changing security and counterterrorism needs.

The importance of the Philippines and Southeast Asia
The Philippines is important to American national security and foreign policy in Asia. The country is a former U.S. colony with deep historical and cultural ties to the United States, the world's 12th largest country by population, a lively democracy, and the region's fastest-growing economy with a robust trade and investment relationship with the United States. Since signing the Mutual Defense Treaty in 1951, the Philippines has been one of the United States' two treaty allies in Southeast Asia. Regionally, it is one of our most important security partners in the Asia-Pacific, as the U.S. has sought to expand cooperation throughout the region, including with Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
There are two attributes of the U.S.-Philippine security relationship that distinguish it from most American security partnerships in East Asia. First, the Philippines has a complicated security environment, encompassing significant internal challenges. The country is a 7,000-island archipelago, much of it low-lying and especially vulnerable to natural disasters such as typhoons. This places significant demand on the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to conduct humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HA/DR) operations. Throughout the Philippines' history, it has also dealt with domestic challenges related to crime, militancy, piracy, and terrorism—including the world's longest-running communist insurgency by the New People's Army (NPA) as well as a decades-long Muslim separatist movement in Mindanao, the southernmost large island in the country with the world's third-largest Catholic population. The high salience of internal security challenges is relatively unusual among the United States' treaty allies and partners in Asia.
As a result, the Philippines has long placed a heavy emphasis on internal security issues and capabilities. During the Cold War, the United States guaranteed the Philippines' external security via the Mutual Defense Treaty, projecting power in Asia from the Clark Air Base and Subic Bay Naval Station; the AFP focused primarily on internal security. Under the previous president, Benigno Aquino III, the Philippines had begun to shift its focus toward external defense, embarking on a defense modernization program that, among other things, started the process of moving the land-heavy AFP toward more air and maritime capabilities. Aquino also pursued international arbitration to challenge Chinese actions in the South China Sea and increased cooperation with the United States and other regional security partners, such as Japan and Australia, in pursuit of those capabilities. Since assuming the presidency, Duterte has, to varying degrees, pulled back (or threatened to do so) from all of these initiatives—questioning the value of the U.S. alliance and the more recent Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA), courting Chinese investment and infrastructure assistance, and declining to press Beijing on its actions in the South China Sea after the arbitration court ruled primarily in Manila's favor in 2016. Duterte's focus on internal security, therefore, is a return to the more inward focus that the AFP and Philippine government have traditionally held since 1945. I will return to that issue in the section below.
Second, the U.S.-Philippine alliance generally functions best when it does so with full awareness of the domestic political dynamics in the Philippines. The Philippines is, by any survey you look at, consistently one of the most pro-American places on earth. There are strong people-to-people ties and broad and stable goodwill toward the United States among the public. Recent and repeated comments by President Rodrigo Duterte about the United States—often using colorful and inflammatory language—have, in the minds of many in Washington, complicated the ability of the United States to formulate and implement effective security cooperation with the Philippines. The difficulty, however, should not be overstated or presented as an issue that is solely to do with Duterte. His statements echo—albeit using very different language—a long tradition of concern on the part of the Philippine left regarding potential U.S. encroachment on Philippine sovereignty, and vacillation on just how closely Manila should tie itself to Washington. That same nationalistic sentiment contributed to the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Philippine bases in the early 1990s (along with the volcanic eruption at Mt. Pinatubo), and that propelled activists to successfully advocate for the Philippine constitution to explicitly forbid permanent foreign military bases, meaning that American forces rotate through under a Visiting Forces Agreement signed in 1999. The 2014 Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement expanded the number of facilities available to that rotational presence, including Lumbia Airfield in Cayagan de Oro in Mindanao. These domestic political dynamics are important to navigate carefully—but they do not make the alliance unmanageable.
Recent changes in the Philippines' security environment
During the past two decades, American security cooperation with the Philippines has focused primarily on counterterrorism or maritime security. From 2002 to 2015, the United States deployed several hundred special operations personnel to the southern Philippines for counterterrorism purposes. The primary focal point of that cooperation, the Joint Special Operations Task Force-Philippines (JSOTFP), was discontinued in early 2015 after U.S. involvement in a controversial operation, though the United States has, at the request of the Philippine government and military, provided intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and other technical assistance during the recent operations in Marawi.

As tensions have risen in the South China Sea, much of U.S. security cooperation in recent years has focused on maritime security, in keeping with the growing emphasis of the AFP on these missions. As part of this, the U.S. has refocused or added programs aimed at building the Philippines' naval and coast guard capabilities, as well as strengthening the country's maritime domain awareness. The United States has also regularly sent ships and personnel to the region for humanitarian missions, such as its assistance after Typhoon Yolanda struck the Philippines in November 2013, and the U.S. military's ongoing participation in Operation Pacific Angel to deliver humanitarian assistance and training.
Over the course of the past year or so, however, concerns about terrorist activity in Mindanao have increased. These concerns have focused on "black flag" militant groups based in the southern Philippines, which have sworn loyalty to the Islamic State (ISIS) and received recognition from ISIS, and on the threat posed by ISIS-affiliated fighters returning to the region from fighting in the Middle East. In late November 2016, one of these ISIS-linked groups, the Maute group, occupied Butig in Lanao del Sur for five days. Fighting has been prolonged in Marawi, where ISIS-aligned fighters—principally from the Maute group, Abu Sayyaf, and the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters—have coordinated to hold parts of the city in an urban siege that has now lasted over two months. At the time of writing, Mindanao has been under martial law for 60 days and the Philippine legislature has granted approval for it to remain so until the end of 2017. Almost 600 people have been killed in the fighting, around a quarter-million civilians have been displaced, and significant parts of the city have been destroyed. The Maute group was suspected of placing a bomb near the U.S. embassy in Manila last November and of bombing President Duterte's hometown of Davao. The appearance of foreign fighters in Marawi—not just Malaysians and Indonesians, but reportedly also Saudi, Yemeni, and Chechen fighters—raises the possibility that Mindanao will become a central attraction for jihadists unable to travel to the Middle East or attracted to the operational, physical foothold being established in Mindanao. The collapse of a 2014 peace agreement between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) has exacerbated this territorial and political challenge, as militants disillusioned with the peace process turn to more radical ISIS-linked organizations instead.
At the same time, concerns about kidnapping-for-ransom operations by the terrorist group Abu Sayyaf in the waters around the southern Philippines have also heightened. Western hostages have been executed when ransom demands were not met, while payments made for other hostages raise concern that these operations help bankroll ISIS-linked militants. The Philippine press reported last fall that Abu Sayyaf, which has pledged allegiance to ISIS, had raised at least $7 million in 2016 from its kidnapping operations. As a result of concerns about security in these waters and the safety of trade between the two countries, Indonesia temporarily suspended shipping and banned coal exports to the Philippines (70 percent of the country's supply). These kidnapping-for-ransom operations, therefore, are not only a maritime security and law enforcement issue, but a matter for counterterrorism and trade throughout the region.

In short, the emergence of links between militant groups in Mindanao, including a resurgent Abu Sayyaf, and the Islamic State, especially in the context of the collapse of the 2014 peace agreement, led to a significant increase in the counterterrorism threat in the southern Philippines, and pose risks to the trade that passes through the Sulu Sea.
Recommendations for successful security cooperation
The United States has compelling security interests in active security engagement with the Philippines and its neighbors in Southeast Asia. There are six major ways that existing security cooperation can be adapted to address the evolving terrorist threat.
First, active engagement by both the executive branch and by Congress to signal a U.S. presence, participation in, and commitment to the Philippines can have a real positive impact. Concern about Duterte is understandable, but the Philippines remains strongly pro-American and cognizant of the benefits of a robust security relationship. At present, that engagement can most productively be focused on the bureaucracy, military, legislature, local governments, civil society, and things like continued humanitarian missions that affirm the shared values underpinning the alliance. Broader engagement with ASEAN, including but not limited to a Congressional delegation to the region (including the Philippines), would indicate strong, bipartisan support for the efforts that administration officials have made thus far to signal the importance of the region and outline a vision of the U.S. role in a peaceful, prosperous, and free Asia.
Second, the United States could consider expanding maritime security assistance and continue its efforts to strengthen Philippine maritime domain awareness. Executed well, this has potential to simultaneously improve the Philippine government and military's ability to address multiple priorities: conducting HA/DR operations, improving law enforcement and counterterrorism capabilities, and boosting external defense. It is important that, even as the Philippines deals with intensifying internal security and terrorist threats, it does not abandon efforts to strengthen its maritime capacities and defenses in the South China Sea. The Philippines received a significant portion of the Maritime Security Initiative's 2016 funding, and given the exigency of current security needs, it makes sense for that trend to continue. Maritime capacity-building has the additional advantage of focusing on cooperation that doesn't raise human rights concerns under the Leahy Amendment, and will allow the United States to contribute where security interests overlap, while still voicing strong support for democratic values such as human rights. This will help strike the right balance between recognizing the popular support that Duterte has had thus far, and strongly affirming the shared values upon which today's alliance is based.
Third, if the Philippines requests it, the United States should be willing to examine options for re-activating formal counterterrorism cooperation with Manila, such as the previous Joint Special Operations Task Force-Philippines. With the U.S. military already providing technical assistance to the AFP, clearly defining the parameters of American forces' involvement—insofar as possible given security considerations, of course—and proactively affirming that this presence will be consistent with the Philippine constitution may help avoid domestic sensitivities. It is not necessary or desirable for U.S. counterterrorism assistance to become a political football in Philippine domestic politics. Careful communication will help keep the focus on the important shared interest that our two countries have: preventing ISIS from establishing a physical foothold inside the territory of a U.S. treaty ally in Asia.
Fourth, the United States can support Manila's efforts to cooperate with other U.S. security partners, including Japan, South Korea, Australia, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The launch of trilateral patrols and information-sharing among Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines in June were an important step to boost regional cooperation on counterterrorism and counter-piracy. Strengthening the Philippines' naval, coast guard, and maritime law enforcement capability as described above is important to giving this cooperation teeth; partners like Japan, Australia, and South Korea can play an important role, heightening the impact of American assistance.
Fifth, the United States can identify productive forms of economic engagement with the Philippines and Southeast Asia. This includes not just focused trade agreements on travel goods, but efforts to strengthen regional financial tools for combatting terrorism. Like maritime capacity-building measures, these efforts can achieve multiple priorities—such as strengthening the regional financial architecture to counteract North Korea's money laundering and revenue-generating activities in the region. It will be especially important to proactively limit the flow of funds from ISIS agents in the Middle East into Southeast Asia to limit the growth and operational capabilities of ISIS-affiliated groups. Boosting economic cooperation will also help the Philippines to navigate a dilemma increasingly faced by Washington's East Asian allies: reliance on the United States for security, but China for economic prosperity.
Sixth, Washington must be thoughtful about, and should monitor closely, the political context in which ISIS-linked terrorism might unnecessarily be able to gain greater traction. There is little question that the collapse of the 2014 peace agreement between the government and the MILF, and the resultant failure to create the Bangsamoro region in Mindanao, have contributed to the splintering of individuals and factions away from the MILF and toward more radical groups. Despite Duterte's stated support for the Bangsamoro region, it remains to be seen exactly how he—and the majority Catholic legislature—will approach this question, and what success Duterte's efforts might have in bringing an end to the decades-long conflict in Mindanao. Regionally, the treatment of the Rohingya Muslim population in Myanmar is a grievance that could be a recruitment tool and rallying cry for Islamic militants across Southeast Asia. The Unites States should therefore closely monitor the progress of these issues, and express support for the development of effective, inclusive, long-term solutions to two of the region's longest-standing points of tension.
The resurgence of terrorist threats in the southern Philippines, and especially the activities of groups with new links to ISIS, has raised new questions about the shape and focus of U.S. security cooperation with the Philippines. In crafting that cooperation, it is helpful for American policymakers to be aware of both the delicate balance between the internal and external security needs that Manila has long had to strike, and the domestic sensitivities that can trip up robust security cooperation. With these factors in mind, there are many areas in which the United States can adjust and strengthen its security cooperation with the Philippines, and can work together with Manila to prevent ISIS from developing a territorial foothold on the soil of a U.S. ally in Asia.

Home Cryptocurrency News Spotlight McAfee is Running for President of the United States
McAfee is Running for President of the United States
Zach Barrow
John McAfee, the seemingly omnipresent Cryptocurrency personality, has garnered the spotlight once again. He has announced that he will run for president of the United States of America in 2020, and this time he won't be stopped.
McAfee, known for outlandish and eccentric behavior is one of the most controversial figures in the whole of cryptocurrency. Some of his predictions include Bitcoin hitting $1 million by 2020 and $15,000 by the end of June 2018 (an approximate doubling in value, by prices at the time of writing). He is often seen as a marmite figure, some people love him and some hate him.
In spite of past refusals, I have decided to again run for POTUS in 2020. If asked again by the Libertarian party, I will run with them. If not, I will create my own party. I believe this will best serve the crypto community by providing the ultimate campaign platform for us.
— John McAfee (@officialmcafee) June 3, 2018
If McAfee stays true to his word, he'll be running for the second time after losing the race for the libertarian party nomination in 2016. However, McAfee has stated that this time if the Libertarian's do not support him he will run as an independent.
Libertarianism is a collection of political views and ideas that swing both left and right but are held together by a firm belief in personal liberty above all. This usually means a reduction in large central organizations like governments, making cryptocurrency a natural progression for the movement.
Don't think that I have a chance of winning. I do not. But what truly changes America is not the president, but the process of creating one. If my following is sufficient I get to stand the world's largest stage and talk to the everyone, as I did last time, to tell the truth.
But what are his chances? The last two presidents have both shown that you need little or no political experience to become the president. However, McAfee himself is aware that him running for president does not pose a huge threat to the Democratic and Republican parties in America. However, he stresses that this will be a huge stage to present cryptocurrencies to the masses.
McAfee states that he expects his presidential bid to 'be the tinder that ignites the blaze of crypto across the planet.'
This may appear rich, especially when considering the countries outside the US or that have little affiliation with the US. However, it is hard to ignore America's gravitational pull when it comes to capitalism, most everything capitalistic revolves around the US in some way or another. Therefore, there is the chance that he could be right.
Although John McAfee may not win the next presidential bid, or even come close, he may serve a greater purpose to the wider cryptocurrency community. Whether you love him or hate him, let's all hope he does the crypto community justice.

Phone number LRN information for real-time call rating, routing and billing.
LRN info will help you determine the proper call routing/path.
MultiTEL's API provides real-time results.
LRN data allows you to route calls directly to the serving switch, without going through intermediate/tandem switches.
How LNP works and why LRN is needed?
Local Number Portability (LNP) is possible thanks to the Location Routing Number (LRN), a unique 10-digit telephone number assigned to each switch. Prior to the establishment of LNP, a telephone number's original state, rate center, service provider and carrier type (wireline, wireless, or VOIP) were identified in the North American Numbering Plan (NANP) by the NPA (area code) and NXX (central office code). With the introduction of LNP, telephone numbers were being ported between service providers and a new way of determining the network address of the serving switch was needed to ensure the call was routed correctly. With that, the LRN was created. Decades of PSTN evolution have introduced state and LATA jurisdictions, number portability and VoIP calls, and each new development further complicated call routing and billing. Modern carriers use LRN data to quickly route calls to their proper jurisdiction and bill at the correct rate. Connecting calls without knowing the LRN typically costs carriers more and results in slower connections.
Most USA carriers now route and bill using LRN data. If you are not using a LRN dipping service, you are likely paying 25 - 35% more than necessary for your voice traffic, experiencing more incomplete calls than necessary, and having difficulty reconciling invoices from your vendors. Using our Location Routing Number (LRN) dipping service, you can efficiently complete calls to the correct operator while avoiding dropped or incorrect calls and unnecessary and expensive default dips charged from a local exchange carrier (LEC) - all while minimizing capital investments and operational expenses. It is in every VoIP providers interest to make sure they have access to an LRN (Local Routing Number) dipping service.
Call our API with a 10-digit phone number. The result will contain the Local Routing Number.
- Has the number ever be ported?
- Is it landline, wireless, or is it VoIP?
Porting details are updated in real time.
Request data via API HTTP or SIP from authenticated IP addresses.
