com) looking for some translating jobs. I was hopeful, and saw an ad for an article translation. I made a proposal and later got contacted my the man who placed the ad, asking for my number so we could talk on Whatsapp. I looked up his company to see if it actually exists- it does. So I sort of trusted this person; he told me I'd have to pay a 50 dollar fee so that the company would know I took the job seriously. This was kind of a weird request, anyway I literally didn't have the money so I told him that wouldn't be possible. Then he offered another translating job, a longer one which didn't require an initial fee. I thought well, this is almost a month long job but the pay seems great so yeah. Weirdest thing of all was his request to pay me via Binance, on which I was stupid enough to create a profile (didn't link my credit card or anything though- and also deleted the account after I saw activity from another city). This happened yesterday and today this guy didn't contact me to send me the article, and I went online and read about similar scam situations. So I figured this person is infact a scammer. The point is, this guy has my adress, full name, date of birth, email and mobile number. He does not have any bank information. I also changed all my passwords today, just to make sure, and blocked him. When I was trying to verify my binance account I sent the app my ID, but it wasn't visible anywhere so unless he secretely collaborates with Binance I don't think he got a hold on that. My guess is this guy impersonated a \*company name\* (should I say it?) employee to try and steal my money.  My question is: should I be worried? I'm from Italy and I'm pretty sure he's not so I don't think he will come knocking on my door knowing I don't even have 50 dollars. How can I report him?The Amanda Trail is a 5.8 mile (9.3 km) historic out-and-back hike that begins at the Cape Perpetua Day Use area on the Oregon Coast. The moderate trail features a statue along the path and is dedicated in memory of Amanda, a blind woman of the Coos Tribe who was, along with other First Nations people, was forced to make a long journey from their homes to a new government camp in the late 1800s. The trail runs through the former Coast Indian Reservation which was established in 1855 with the Coastal Tribes of Oregon.
Beginning by descending through lush coastal woodlands the trail then leads to a grotto featuring the concrete statue of Amanda. From the statue, the trail continues through the forest leading toward the town of Yachats. The trail was created in recognition of the tragic events that occurred to the native tribes of Oregon.Well, I have seen Duncan Hunter twice on Lou Dobbs. I like that man also, but I would never vote for him because I am a Democrat. I admire him for going after Romney and his "business ties".
Oh great! Are we at war with China now? What an idiot...and who is Dodd anyway?
Oh, EXCUSE ME CNN, but would you please inform Lou Dobbs that the Mimes don't approve of him and I liking Duncan, even though I wouldn't vote for him because he is a Republican.
Hunter or Ron Paul, a tough decision between them. For peopl that have not been keeping tarct of things, China owns huge AMerican debt. Much of the 3 trillion $ extra bedt create by Prseidnet Chaney and his puppet have gone to buy all those cheap tacty products from China. Go to a Target stoer and try to find an appliance or lamp made any where else. Hunter is right on the mark in warning about China as well as his responsible position on expulsion of the criminal immigrants. Ron Paul for his credit, believes in the Constitution and ending the war for Iraqi oil, setting himself apart from W & cronies. That is why the big money behind the GOP consider both persa non grata. As a Democrat I would vote for either of these good men ahead of the Dem's who are all ready to continue the Bush era sell out of our jobs and borders.
Elliot..Please calm down you are misspelling alot of words. As a Democrat to a Democrat we do not want Hunter or Ron Paul. It is okay to like them as a person, but not as a candidate. We must stick together and vote for OUR party. I think that HILLARY is an excellent choice and I am sure you will agree.
Elliot vote for whoever you want! I am being manned by a control freak!!!!!
I like Hunter and everything, but this point seems to be a simple swing-and-miss. Romney has already cut ties to the company and can't dictate their decisions one way or another.
The important question is, when Hunter drops out, who gets his share of the vote? Just kidding.
DAN..No, you are not kidding. Rudy and Romney who we do not want. We do not want any more republicans in office. They are liars, incompetent, thieves and our ruining our country. I am very worried about them tampering with our voting machines.
Harry Truman conceived of the Containment of Communism policy that was followed by most of the presidents who followed him. It was, I think, a big reason why western Europe remained democracies, why the USSR eventually collapsed during George W. Bush's term, and why the eastern European nations like Poland are becoming democratic states. It was expensive (Korean War, Vietnam War, Cold War), but it paid off for the world. God bless Harry Truman.
China was the solitary exception. Republicans Nixon and Bush (the good one) and Democrat Clinton led the nation into a commercial relationship with Communist China. Now the Chinese sell us the machines and appliances that we invented. Now China owns a huge portion of our national debt. Now, President Bush (the other one) is tough on Communist Cuba but he and our other leaders line up in their eagerness to smooch Communist backsides.
In addition to teaching our children English and Spanish, we'd better start teaching them Chinese.
Terry..the American people will never put up with learning Chinese, just like we refuse to learn Spanish. We are an English speaking country and it should be our first lanquage. If others want to speak another lanquage, fine, but don't expect us to know what you are saying or to be able to answer your questions.
Romney is no longer involved with Bain Capital just like Cheney is no longer involved with Halliburton.
Bush will collapse the American economy, Romney would finish selling America off, and "new world order" here we come!
It's you again. Please, come down. Terry was just being sarcastic about "start teaching them Chinese". I am seriously concerned about you.
What is Rep. Hunter's position on the two-Chinas issue?
As someone who loves Chinese culture and studied Chinese for 3 years, and spent 4 months traveling China... I can say several things about this.
First, the Chinese people are not necessarily enemies of America. There is definitely a rivalry, and a certain pride in their culture and nation. There is a degree of jealousy, but I don't think it would come to the point where they would support an outright war with the U.S. All of the interactions I had with people were friendly.
However, the Communists in control there still scare me. They have moderated quite a bit... but mostly on economic issues. Their mantra is stability. They also are eagerly attempting to steal any technology they can from the West, whether for economic or military purposes.
I completely agree with our current policy of economic engagement with China. But I think our trade agreements should be reviewed to see if they put our domestic industries at any disadvantage.
We should also be wary of investments from China into the U.S. It IS definitely a national security issue. Frankly, we should be wary of ANY foreign ownership of critical parts of our defense-related companies. But China clearly has a history of industrial espionage; I don't see how they wouldn't try to leverage any back door they could get.
That's why I support Huckabee for President. He believes in free trade, but fair trade. He wants us to be more independent and self-sufficient in producing our own food, fuel and defense technologies. And I believe his foreign policy would be tough but not belligerent. His foreign policy, which is close to Roosevelt's "speak softly and carry a big stick" would help defuse some of the envy and rivalry around the world, but still let enemies know that we are not to be trifled with.Notice that I changed the name of my blog?Notice that I changed the name of my blog?
It’s the new year though, so that means that I’m thinking about dieting again. The lap band surgery makes it easier to do so, but if you are intent on cheating it, you certainly can.
I am virtually never hungry.... but, if I only ate when I was hungry in the first place I wouldn’t be fat, right?
So, I went back to the YMCA this week and got on the scale. I’ve gained back 18 of those pounds. Am I frustrated with myself? You better believe it.
So, I’m thinking ahead... thinking I should go back to blogging, go back to exercising, start eating right. Then maybe I could go back and actually have the lap band filled again so that it will help me.
