Avoiding Telemarketers, In the News, and Enjoy
Avoiding Telemarketers - Consumers will be able to opt not to receive unsolicited telemarketing calls starting this week. In the News - They walk among us! Enjoy - Relax and enjoy these images and videos!
The Fair Trade Commission (FTC) said that on January 2 it will open the Do Not Call Registery, a Web site designed to help people avoid telemarketing calls.
Consumers who want to use the service can register their mobile or home telephone numbers via the Web site at Do Not Call Registery
Telemarketing firms must check the registry at the do-not-call Web site to ensure they do not disturb consumers on the list before they make calls to consumers.
Consumers can file complaints to the FTC or the Korea Consumer Agency concerning telemarketing calls to homes and mobile phones that they receive after registering their numbers on the list, and violators can face fines.
As telephone numbers are private information, they will be stored in the form of codes and will only be used as a method to reveal that a customer with a certain number does not want to receive a call from telemarketing firms.
But placing one's number on the registry will stop most, but not all unsolicited calls, because the measure can only regulate firms that are officially registered as telemarketers. There were about 5,500 telemarketing firms registered as of 2012. Consumers cannot bar unsolicited text messages and faxes from telemarketers or survey calls.

Oatmeal muffins are made with the primary ingredient of oatmeal. Additional ingredients may be nearly anything. Most common are raisins, nuts, and chocolate chips.
Oat groats are coarsely ground to make oatmeal, or cut into small pieces to make steel-cut oats, or first steamed and then flattened to make rolled oats. Quick-cooking rolled oats (quick oats) are cut into small pieces before being steamed and rolled. Instant oatmeal is pre-cooked and dried, usually with sweetener and flavoring added.
Both types of rolled oats may be eaten uncooked as in Muesli or may be cooked to make porridge. Both types are also used as an ingredient in oatmeal muffins, oatmeal cookies, and oat cakes. Oatmeal is also sometimes porridge with the bran or fibrous husk as well as the oat kernel or groat. In some countries rolled oats are eaten raw with milk and sugar or raisins. Oatmeal is also used as a thickening agent in soups.
