Cryptocurrency is undoubtedly at the peak of Gartner hype cycle, but it very well could revolutionise the way we use currency for our daily needs in the future. Stay with me on this… At present, cryptocurrency appears no more than a speculation that is sugar-coated by individuals who have vested interest in it. However, if we overlook this excitement, the actual use of cryptocurrency is mind-boggling. Suppose you had a mid-life crisis and went on a journey to the middle of the Earth to find where humans supposedly originated from, and you met and connected with a local coffee farmer named Razaq in a very remote part of Ethiopia. He invited you for an evening coffee and you obliged, and six months later you yearned for this same coffee whilst you were having another wave of existential thoughts in your penthouse that overlooked the urban jungle. Suddenly, you remembered that Razaq had a cheap but functional smartphone with a Bitcoin wallet, and afterwards you communicated with him on WhatsApp and decided to enter in a transaction with him. Razaq is delighted with this technology, but mainly because he does not have to travel 100 km to-and-fro the nearest city where his bank is located, and he is also happy that he can send a sack of coffee beans to his friend who lives in a faraway land, and all he needs to do is hand over the coffee sack to delivery truck en route the shipping port. Ultimately, saving Razaq lot of his precious time and resources. Now use this one example and multiply it by hundreds of millions of people around the world who have a very remote access to a ‘bank’, but have an access to a basic smartphone – imagine the possibility of connecting people like Razaq to the ‘internet’ world and having a seamless cross-border trade finance transaction using currency that is not controlled by any government. Like many others, I am keen to see the developments of cryptocurrency in the coming years, but for now I remain sceptical. That said, I am more interest in the countless opportunities that will be unlocked by the very technology that is fundamental to all the cryptocurrencies; the Blockchain. Crytocurrency is one branch of Blockchain technology which has proved useful.
If you are a Russian citizen a much easier and common solution would be a USD or EUR withdrawal from your Webmoney account to your Cyprus bank account. You will need to create a Webmoney account (www.webmoney.ru), get a primary certificate in your local Webmoney office in Russia (The list is available at the website), create WMZ (for USD) and WME (for EURO) accounts in Webmoney (done online). Then you can easily top up your Webmoney WMR (Rubles) account (created automatically) with Rubles, convert the sum into USD (According to the Webmoney rate, which is only slightly different from the official central bank rate) and then withdraw the money from your USD Webmoney account to your Cyprus bank account. The money will be transfered to your Cyprus bank account from UK Webmoney dealer. The transaction description would say that this sum is transfered according to the contract of sale of securities. This method prevents any Russian regulatory authorities from seeing your transactions. And the best thig in Webmoney is that they have stable exchange rates and they use classic currencies such as USD, RUR, EUR, etc. Webmoney also has WMG accounts (Gold) and WMX accounts (Bitcoin). Non-Russian residents can also open a Webmoney accounts. You can get one even in Cyprus, by the way:)
There are some points not covered in the other answers that I feel are important to address: In order to be eligible to contribute to an HSA, you must be enrolled in a High Deductible Health insurance Plan (HDHP).  In general, I think this is a great idea for most people (who are responsible enough to save up for medical expenses), but for a small portion it may cost more money to enroll in this type of plan, due to high recurring medical costs.  You should always weigh the costs of the related insurance plans against the benefit of an HSA. Note that once you open an account and contribute, you can use the funds at any point after that.  The eligibility described here is only regarding making new contributions to the account. This may no longer be true, but when I first started using an HSA several years back, I noticed that the fees and costs administered by the providers  were higher than I’d come to expect from, say, my IRA administrator.  At least, this was true for the accounts I found – perhaps I missed a better option. Furthermore, there was a much smaller selection of investment options available in those HSAs than in other brokerage accounts.  If you are not maxing out retirement already, it’s worth comparing fees and historical returns versus those accounts rather than assuming that the tax benefits will make the HSA a better deal. In my book, if it passes these two checks, then the HSA is a tremendous deal that is highly under-utilized.
If you took a poll, most people wouldn't know that OTC pills can be dangerous. Doesn't change the fact that they can be. People misjudge the dangers of all kinds of things they do everyday. Don't base your opinion on what the general public thinks is true. Base it on facts. As for the illegal thing -- I'm sure you'd willingly turn over all your bank accounts and credit cards to a guy who is actively breaking the law for his own personal pleasure. Such a person would surely never be tempted to bend other laws when it suits them, would never lie on a financial statement or legal document, and would never ever consider stealing from you, right? That's a pretty big risk. In a lot of jobs, the only thing you have is trust because they have the data and you don't. And willingness to break the law shows that you can't be trusted."
Yes.  In the US these are called certificates of deposit or savings accounts.  Every run-of-the-mill bank offers them.  You give the bank money and in return they pay you an interest rate that is some fraction of or (negative) offset from the returns they expect to make from your money. Since most investments that a bank makes (say, loaning money to a local business) are themselves based on some multiple of or (positive) offset from the prime rate, in return the interest rate that they offer you is also mathematically based on the prime rate. You can find lists of banks offering the best returns on CDs or savings accounts at sites like BankRate.
This is typically an issue for local law and regulation.  Once one person moves out, I would recommend one of the following options: Generally speaking, if there are clear records of all of the payments made by both parties, all of the costs associated with the maintenance and who made what use of the place, the final ownership can be resolved fairly even in the absence of a clear agreement. The pain and hassle to do it, though, is generally not worth the effort - even if it's an amicable relationship between the two owners. Your best bet is to agree as early as possible on what you plan to do, and to write it down - if you didn't have a contract before moving in together, write one up now.
Their business model was based on annoying your friends with constant ads.  Evertually Facebook is going to see things like Zynga as parasites instead of adding value - people who thrive on Facebook as an advertising platform without paying Facebook for ads, while simultaneously reducing the pleasure of the user experience as any distracting advertisement would.  I get annoyed when my Facebook queue is flooded with details of my friends' gameplay.  I'm Facebook is aware of this.  Being a thorn in the side of the owner of your platform is *not* a good business-model.
Of course scammers target those who'd be slow to notice; this game is all about velocity. Eventually (months), one of two things is likely to happen. The transfer is found to be fraudulent and the bank reverses it, and they slap you with penalties and/or the cops come knockin'. You refer them to the letter you sent, explaining your surprise at receiving it. That letter is your ""get out of jail free"" card. The other person works with their bank and claws back the money. One day it just disappears. (not that this is your problem, but they'd file a dispute with their bank, their bank talks to your bank, your bank finds your letter, oh, ok.) If a year goes by and neither of these things happens, you're probably in the clear. Don't get greedy and try to manipulate circumstances so you are more likely to keep the money. Scammers prey on this too. I think the above is your best shot."
Welcome To Tizaa Works! This website is for everyone who wants to submit or read articles about businesses. Most of the articles here are from business and technology enthusiast who is willing to share their knowledge and experience that could give insights to others especially to the people who are starting their own business.
From a stats perspective, a sample of 100 should be more than enough to grab a normalized distribution. While the tail end (less than 1 percent) might not have granularity, the article is supposed to capture the experience of the majority of candidates, which a sample of 100 should do fine. That said, knowing plenty of Amazonians, some  love it, some don't. The article probably has bias in the people who chose to respond, but the sample size is fine.
** Option 1) Transaction tax would just make the markets less efficient by increasing the cost of buying and selling. A generally bad thing because it discourages traders (to put money into stocks), which is of course how the capital markets are supported. ** Option 2) Create rules to ensure everyone sees the same information at the same time and then permit anyone to use whatever technology they want to act on that information, so that the most efficient trading operations win. ** Option 3) Create some artificial environment where no-one is allowed to have an advantage: ensure everyone sees the same information at the same time, ensure everyone has the same technology, and ensure that the people who manage the systems have the exact same experience and intelligence etc... Of course #2 is how it works, and it is the meritocratic basis which underpins Capitalism. I don't see why people have a problem with it.
I can't tell if it's very clever marketing or very foolish; I'd settle on a combination, especially since the former chief executive admitted that it is due to cases like this, where people were encouraged to live beyond their means, that took a needle to the property bubble in 2008.   It's quite dangerous, as you say, to present adverts as news. What's slightly more insidious in my eyes is in the way in which it's presented as a blog piece, which comes with connotations of informality and honesty, constructed to leave a feel-good affect on the reader.   The advert seems to have struck a chord with a lot of people, who were very vocal in their disappointment. Critiques of the article were leads in two of Ireland's biggest newspapers, The Irish Times and the Irish Independent. Either way it's great publicity for Bank of Ireland, I guess.
"The faster they eliminate menial jobs the sooner we can start retraining our workforce for a modern economy.  You contradict reality. The study says, ""Traditionally, a high proportion of workers in the low-wage market are not experienced at all: teens with their first jobs, immigrants with their first jobs here,” he said. “Data is pointing to: Since we have to pay more, employers are looking for people with **experience who can do the job from Day 1**.”""  How many low-level jobs do we see require multiple years of experience now days? This is a problem of raising the minimum wage. ""Jobs"" is a worthy cry. Because right now, the job is being eliminated. So you have teens and immigrants getting NO income, which is somehow better than a little income? Teens don't need a ""livable wage"" and adults who do can get subsidies from the government WHILE they gain experience and work up to higher pay. NO JOB means no way to get either of those."
In a foreclosure, the bank is usually trying to get rid of the property quickly because they don't want to be in the property-management business, they want to be in the money lending and management business. Of course you could say that sort of thing about conditions surrounding many sales. Maybe the price is low because the seller needed cash now to start a business. Maybe the price is high because the buyer was too lazy to shop around. Maybe the price is low because the buyer is a very skilled negotiator. Etc etc. My watch just broke and while I was shopping for a new one I found two listings for the exact same watch, I mean exact same manufacturer and model number, identical picture, on the same web site, one giving the price as $24 and the other as $99. What is the market value of that watch? I presume anyone who saw both listings would pick the $24 one, but I presume some number of people pay the higher price because they never see the lower price. In real life there isn't really one, exact, fair market value. That's an abstraction."
There are a number of UK banks that offer what passes for reasonable interest on an amount of cash held in their current accounts.  I would suggest that you look into these.  In the UK the first £1000 of bank or building society interest is paid tax-free for basic rate taxpayers (£500 for higher rate tax-payers) so if your interest income is below these levels then there is no point in investing in a cash ISA as the interest rate is often lower. At the moment Santander-123 bank account pays 1.5% on up to £20000 and Nationwide do 5% on up to £2500. A good source if information on the latest deals is Martin Lewis' Moneysaving Expert Website
London Black Cabs are acknowledged globally as the best on earth.  Other than the huge cost, I have always had a very positive experience in them.  So you are correct, it is not in every city on earth.      I have been to 40% of countries in the world, and travel extensively for business and vacations.  Taxis are almost universally awful.  I have had negative experiences on every continent.      As a man, I have felt threatened on occasions and realized that no one knows I am in this taxi, I can only imagine what women go through.      I am no fan of how Uber is run, but the concept is here to stay.  Taxis will never be able to compete with the traceability and accountability.  Whether it is Uber or a competitor, that is what the world will use.      The hijacked the term ride sharing, however the generally accepted definition today is an Uber type service.      Typically the only people who defend taxis, either very rarely take them, or are drivers themselves.
It is a scam, other people have given lots of details why.   But online access password Is ONLY of use to someone that wishes to steal your money.    Just including it in the requested information is enough to make it clear it is a scam. To deposit money into someone accounts only needs. And maybe (if the deposit is being pay by anyone that needs to report the payment to the government for income tax - at least in the UK) If the money is coming from a source that must report the payment for tax.
"Believe it or not, unless you directly contact an accountant with experience in this field or a lawyer, you may have a tough time getting a direct answer from a reputable source.  The reason is two fold.  First, legally defining in-game assets is exceptionally difficult from a legal/taxation stand point.  Who really owns this data?  You or the company that has built the MMO and manages the servers containing all of the data? You can buy-and-sell what is effectively ""data"" on their servers but the truth is, they own the code, the servers, the data, your access rights, etc. and at any point in time could terminate everything within their systems.  This would render the value of your accounts worthless! As such, most countries have overwhelmingly avoided the taxation of in-game ""inventory"" because it's not really definable.  Instead, in game goods are only taxed when they are exchanged for local currency.  This is considered a general sale.  There may be tax codes in your region for the sale of ""digital goods"".  Otherwise, it should be taxed as sale a standard good with no special stipulations. The bottom line is that you shouldn't expect to find much reliable information on this topic, on the internet.  Law's haven't been welled defined, regarding in-game content worth and taxing of sales and if you want to know how you should pay your taxes on these transactions, you need to talk to a good accountant, a lawyer or both."
Do you have any idea what you want to do?  Companies never want to hire someone who is looking to 'stay in an area'.  They want someone that knows what they want to do.    As soon as you head down the CFA route you will end up in more of an analyst positions.  These positions (as a fellow applicant as well but with experience) are hard to get because of the large amount of people applying.    Accounting firms ARE hiring if your into that sort of thing.  Otherwise, volunteer at some local events like financial counseling.  I've hard two advisers be approached by firms for CFO positions in the few years I've worked.  It sounds like your doing the right things...just keep at it...I've been looking since February...
SPRING HILL — In 2009, Spring Hill United Church of Christ followed the lead of the denomination’s 24th General Synod of 2003 and adopted a statement of inclusiveness: The church body would welcome and affirm all people, including people of every sexual identity. One way the church has decided to live up to that statement is by offering an educational and support group for those with HIV/AIDS, as well as people affected by it, beginning this month. The group will meet from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on the last Tuesday of each month at the church. “For the past two years, our church has declared itself open to all people, regardless of age, race, gender, ethnicity, sexual identity, health or disabilities, economic status or family structure,” said the Rev. Carlan Helgeson. “As part of that inclusiveness of all people in our congregation, we are excited to be able to reach out to those who may lack the support and affirmation that comes from being HIV positive or having AIDS.” The ministry, called Red Project, will be led by church member and ministerial student Ray Gomez. “I chose the name Red Project because red is a stand-out, shout-out kind of color,” Gomez said. Red is also the color of the AIDS ribbon used to represent the illness, he said. “Red denotes danger and is an angry color, representing the worst in human behavior and ignorance, along with hatred shown to the people with the illness in the early years,” Gomez said, “and the stigma surrounding HIV, even today.” Gomez is HIV positive and has more than 25 years of experience teaching and advocating on HIV/AIDS. He holds degrees in education and multicultural education and is working on a second master’s degree in pastoral counseling. He is an ordained minister through the Missionary Church International and is a student in ministry with the United Church of Christ. Gomez, who is gay, said he attends the church in Spring Hill because it is open and affirming. “A lot of churches do not want to service or go out of their way to reach the HIV population,” he said. “It’s unfortunate because a lot of people with HIV live in this community.
I live such a country, Bangladesh, from where recently they successfully transferred out around US$10 millions using a bank account of an outsider like you keeping in between source of money and final unknown destination. The result is the owner / operator of those accounts used for these transfers are now under law enforcement pressure, not only just to find out where ultimately money has gone, but for sure they will face some degree of charge for helping transfer of illegal money overseas"". For someone who is not part of a full scam chain it is a big deal. It might ruin their life forever. To be on the safe side, and help protect others from falling on the same type of problem you may contact your local law enforcement agency. Depending on the situation, they might be interested to run a sting operation using your information and support to catch and stop the crime going to happen soon or later. I would give a rare chance of 2% legitimate reason for anyone to use a third-party bank account to pay some other living either different country (still it is not legal, but a lower-type crime). But obviously they will not ask randomly over the Internet/social network sites. In your case this is a real scam. Be careful and stay safe; Good Luck."
There's nothing particularly special about a two million dollar cheque. While they aren't commonplace, the bank certainly has experience with them. Many ATMs won't allow a deposit of that size but the bank cashiers will certainly accept them. They will typically get a supervisor to sign off on the deposit and may ask about the source of the money, for fraud prevention reasons. They may be held for longer than a smaller cheque if the bank manager chooses to do so. If there's nothing remotely suspicious (for example, it is a cheque from an insurance company for an expected payout), you should expect it will clear in about a week. On the other hand, if it is a cheque from a bank in another country and the bank manager has any reason to suspect it may not be legitimate, they may hold it for a month or more. Even then, you are not guaranteed the cheque was legitimate. This is used in a common scam.
"That is technically the ""rule of law"" but goes against the spirit of the ""rule of law"", which is the principle that people's rights should be protected by the law regardless of the demands of the many.   &gt;And really, who do you consider to be the ""mighty"" on this issue?   The mighty is those who use the force of government or the threat of violence (e.g. violent strikes) to prevent another party from exercising their contract liberty and firing them."
