When canning tomatoes, The National Center for Home Food Preservation advises that you use no more than 3 cups of vegetables for every 22 lbs of tomatoes. If you add too many vegetables, you dilute the natural acid from the tomatoes, and your soup is no longer able to be canned. Sticking to this advised ratio, I added most of my flavorings for this soup in the way of dried herbs and spices. How To Make Tomato Soup For Canning Once you have a good recipe, made for putting in jars, the process is pretty straightforward: cook vegetables until very soft puree the vegetables season the soup reduce the soup can it! I used a high powered blender to puree our cooked tomatoes and onion. There were only a few small tomato bits left after blending so I didn’t bother straining my soup. If you have a blender that doesn’t sufficiently chop up tomato skins, you might want to strain the soup before seasoning and reducing it. Alternatively, use a food mill to puree the tomatoes and get rid of the skins. What Tomatoes Should I Use? The best tomatoes to use are “paste” tomatoes. These are tomatoes that have thicker, meatier walls and contain less water.

This Is How Long You Should Freeze Soup | POPSUGAR Food Popsugar Living Cooking Basics This Is How Long You Should Freeze Soup A Full Breakdown of How Long You Can Freeze Different Soups March 3, 2020 by Emily Forney Soup options can feel endless and are the ultimate comfort food for sick days, Winter nights, or when you're feeling nostalgic and just want to feel at home. Soups are great for meal prepping and are often quick and easy to whip up, but most recipes make pretty large batches — so what's the best way to store leftovers? Freezing soup may seem super easy, but in reality, not all soups can be frozen and there are varying shelf lives depending on your ingredients. Let us break it down for you. The best soups to freeze are stews with chunky vegetables, protein, and broth. These typically hold up well due to the nature of their ingredients — broth doesn't separate or curdle and proteins and vegetables can withstand the moisture well to keep intact. These soups can last up to three months in the freezer. What you will want to be wary of is freezing anything with dairy or something cream-based. These soups can be frozen for one month, tops.

This is a recipe that can be altered to use up other fruits you have on hand. I have used a mix of mangoes and peaches to make this, and it would probably taste great with pineapple or other tart fruits, but if you like mangoes as much as I do, you will want to let that flavor dominate.

List of Lucrative Farming in Nigeria The prospect for farming in Nigeria is so high that only a fool will ignore it. Having said that, let’s take a closer look at some of the types of Farming that does very well in Nigeria. 1. Rice Farming Nigeria has one of the world’s highest Rice consumption stat. Rice is by far one of the most popular staple food among Nigerians. Almost every family eats rice daily in Nigeria. In 2011 alone, Nigeria spent N991billion on rice importation and the rice we import is said to be nothing less than 10 years old in storage. That means we spent billions buying rice that has since lost its nutritional values. Any entrepreneur who goes into rice farming and get it right is sure to be smiling to the bank. A bag of rice is currently sold for N13,000 to N16,000 depending on the quality. A farmer who is able to invest in large scale rice production in Nigeria and able to produce 100,000 Bags of processed Rice in a year, sell at wholesale price of about N10,000 per bag, he will be making 10,000 x 100,000 = N1,000,000,000 ($3million) You can achieve the above figures conveniently with less than five hundred and fifty million Naira ($1.5 Million) capital investment.

Nigeria is well represented, as it borders the region to both the north and the northwest. The native population comprises a variety of ethnic and linguistic groups. The main ethnic groups are of Tikar origin: Tikari, Widikum, Fulani, and Moghamo. The most widely spoken languages in the province include Mungaka, Limbum spoken by the Wimbum people of Donga Mantung Division; Yamba, spoken by the Yamba people also of the Donga Mantung Division; Bafmen, Oku, Lamnso, Ngemba, Pidgin English, Balikumbat, Papiakum, Moghamo, and Nkom. During the colonial period, administrative boundaries were created which cut across ethnic groups and cultures. As a result, parts of some ethnic groups now lie in different divisions and provinces, which is believed to have led to several land conflicts. In the provinces, the social organization recognizes a chief as its head, also called the 'Fon'. The Fons, who in their tribal area may be more influential than the official administrative authorities, are considered the living representative of the tribal ancestors. Section::::Politics. The Northwest is a stronghold of the Social Democratic Front (SDF) which is one of the main opposition parties of Cameroon. Some Northwesterners feel completely marginalized by the government.

It is a variety of the long, thin-grained aromatic rice considered as the most expensive variety of rice in the world. Basmati is a Hindi word which literally means “fragrant.” It was the Indian traders who introduced basmati rice to the Middle East. It is not only an important part of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi dishes, but is also largely used in Middle Eastern and Persian cuisines as well. Nowadays, several countries, including the US, would have their own domestically grown crops but these aren’t as good as the basmati rice imported from its native origin.

Like most of the various types of pasta, conchiglie also originates from Italy and is amongst the most popular pasta shapes in the region because of its ability to hold a lot of sauce. Conchiglie is perfect for use in different soups and casseroles. Although it is commonly miniature-sized pasta, if you love this shape then you can also find it in larger sizes. The larger version of this pasta is called conchigioni while extra small sizes are called conchigliette. Orzo You might mistake a packet of orzo on the supermarket shelf for a pack of rice. But you wouldn’t be the only one. After all, orzo is exactly similar to rice – except that it is not actually rice. This type of pasta gets its name from barley because it is shaped like it. Orzo looks like grains of barley and also comes close to looking like larger grains of rice. Therefore, it is also often called risoni, which means big rice in Italian. Orzo is not specified to a single region in Italy as it’s is widely used all across the country. Be it soup, salads, or simply as a side dish with meat and lots of veggies, orzo is toothsome pasta that will take any dish up a notch.

Hardly does a day pass, without the story of how large sums of money are stolen by Nigerians who are in positions of trust. The revelations at the various probes by the National Assembly are heart breaking as billions of Naira meant for the improvement in the welfare and condition of living of ordinary Nigerians are brazenly stolen by those who they are entrusted in their care. All these are examples of violence against the people of Nigeria.

As the towns and cities empty, people jam the West African markets to buy and transport live chickens, goats and cows that will be needed for the Christmas meals. On Christmas Eve, traditional meals are prepared according to the traditions of each region. Nigerians as a whole tend to prepare various meats in large quantities. In the south, a dish called Jollof rice is served with stews of various meats along with boiled beans and fried plantains; in the north, Rice and Stew as well as 'Tuwon Shinkafa', a rice pudding served with various meat stews, is preferred. In the North several local desserts are also made which is hardly ever found in other parts of Nigeria. An alternative in both regions (but more favored in the south) is a pepper soup with fish, goat, or beef which may also be served with Fufu (pounded yam). Served with this food are an array of mainly alcoholic drinks such as the traditional palm wine or various local and imported beers and wines; children and women may be served locally-made soft-drink equivalents instead. Gift giving in Nigeria often involves money and the flow of gifts from the more fortunate to the less fortunate.

Ghanaian jollof rice is made of vegetable oil, onion, bell pepper, cloves of pressed garlic, chillies, tomato paste, beef or goat meat or chicken (some times alternated with mixed vegetables), jasmine or basmati rice and black pepper. The method of cooking jollof begins with first preparing the beef or chicken by seasoning and frying it until it is well-cooked The rest of the ingredients are then fried all together, starting from onions, tomatoes and spices in that order. After all the ingredients have been fried, rice is then added and cooked until the meal is prepared. Ghanaian jollof is typically served with side dishes of beef, chicken, well-seasoned fried fish, or mixed vegetables. Jollof in Ghana is also served alongside shito, a popular type of pepper which originates from Ghana, and salad during parties and other ceremonies. Section::::Further reading.

Why a 20% down payment is ideal for lenders Mortgage lenders evaluate your credit profile, your debt-to-income ratio, your job history and your assets to make an educated guess about whether you will manage to repay your loan responsibly. A 20% down payment is viewed as ideal by lenders because you are investing a significant amount of your own money in your home and therefore the lender’s risk is reduced. If you make a 20% down payment, you won’t have to pay private mortgage insurance. PMI provides insurance to the lender in case you default on your loan. Advantages of a 20% down payment for buyers In addition to eliminating the need for PMI, a 20% down payment on a house will qualify you for a slightly lower interest rate than a borrower who makes a smaller down payment. Another benefit is that you will borrow less money, making your monthly payments smaller. In addition, you will instantly have 20% equity in your home, which you can borrow against in the future or get back as part of your profit when you sell. On the other hand, keep in mind that 20% of the average home price in the nation ($200,000) is $40,000.

And some first-time home buyer programs offer down payment assistance that can further reduce upfront costs. “Some first-time home buyer programs offer down payment assistance that can further reduce upfront costs.” Yet more than three-fifths (62%) of Americans think you need a down payment of 20% or more to buy a home, according to the NerdWallet 2020 Home Buyer Report.

Victims of these mills sometimes discover, years later, that their offer has been rejected and they still owe accumulating penalties and interest, Caplan says. “Tax professionals know that obtaining an OIC is very difficult to accomplish,” says Caplan. “We think the acceptance rate is under 20%. You must have very little income or ability to generate income and have liabilities higher than your assets.” An illness or disability can help make the case. Hazel Davis, a former IRS agent for 34 years, who also works at McGladrey LLP as a Manager in their Tax Controversy Services practice (part of its Washington National Tax Office), said in her hometown of Greensboro, North Carolina, these mills often hired former IRS agents who would appear in TV ads. “Taxpayers need to be aware of these scams,” she said. “They make it sound so easy to get an OIC, but it’s not. It’s a very grueling process.” To request a payment plan, you must offer the IRS a minimum of 20% of what you owe, and the balance within five months or five payments. The longest repayment period it will negotiate is 24 months.

You can also negotiate for a lower interest rate and, in competitive markets, putting down 20% can give you an edge over buyers who don’t, whom sellers may view as a riskier option. Making a 20% down payment can also help you snag a lower interest rate, thus decreasing your monthly payment and how much you’ll pay in interest over the life of the loan. Still, there are loan programs that let borrowers make a smaller down payment without incurring PMI, but if you’re going with a conventional loan, 20% is usually ideal. Evaluate your budget Lenders want reassurance that you’ll be able to make your mortgage payments on time in addition to all of your other financial obligations. To do this, they determine your debt-to-income ratio. First, they’ll look at your front-end ratio — your monthly housing payment (including insurance, interest, taxes, and PMI, if applicable) divided by your monthly income. The general rule of thumb is to keep this at or below 28%. Next, the lender will look at your back-end ratio, which shows how much of your monthly income goes to service your existing debt (e.g., car loans, student loans, credit card payments).

Good employee education can reduce phishing success significantly, but there is always someone who doesn’t pay attention, is in a hurry that day, or is simply outsmarted by a very clever cybercriminal. 7. Continuous Simulated Phishing Run an initial phishing simulation campaign to establish a baseline percentage of which users are phish-prone. Continue simulated phishing attacks at least once a month, but twice is better. Once users understand that they will be tested on a regular basis, and that there are repercussions for repeated failures, behavior changes. They develop a less trusting attitude and get much better at spotting a scam email. Randomize email content and times they are sent to different employees. When they all get the same thing, one employee spots it and leans out of the cubicle to warn the others. 8. Stay Aware of Red Flags Security awareness training should include teaching people to watch out for red flags.

Anyway do not make a big thing out of it, it just means that Prosper is a good and legit company that takes good care of the people who borrow and lend money. They do this by not giving everybody the approval for a loan. Interest Rates are Too High Many borrowers have this type of common prosper loan complaints. When borrowing money have in mind the interest rate you will have to pay, is it 14 % or less. It depends on the amount of money you borrow and the credit score you have. To solve this problem you can improve your credit score for example. Then apply for as much as you need, do not go for the highest borrow of $35,000. Because if you take a bigger loan the more interest pay you will have. Carefully think about do you want a 5 year or a 3 year loan. If you can afford to pay off the 3 year loan take it because it will lower your interest rate. If you have recently applied for a credit somewhere that means that your credit score fell down. To ensure better interest rates wait some time before you apply for a loan at Prosper. Expensive Loan Payments There have been some complaints about high loan payments.

Pawn Shop Loan — When you need money fast, you could take something of value — jewelry or a computer, for instance — to use as collateral for a pawn shop loan. The pawn shop will lend an amount equal to a percentage of the item’s value. Payback windows are short — usually between 30 and 90 days — to pay it back with (oftentimes breathtaking) interest. Most states have statutes limiting pawnbroker interest rates, although they can range as high as 120% APR. There are additional problems with add-on fees for service, storage and a lost ticket. Add-on fees can be more than what you paid in interest charges. Regardless of any loan, consumers should read the entire agreement, especially the fine print. You must understand the costs, how long you have to repay, and the penalties if you default. Never sign off on a pawn shop loan until you understand all the terms and conditions. Loan Scams: Be Aware of These When you need money and have a poor credit score, it’s easy to accept almost any offer for a personal loan. But there are scam artists waiting to take advantage your desperation. They might be offered personal loans through online website advertisements.

The guy will need to process his feelings too. If you want to be friends again after he rejects you, you’ll need to give him a bit of time and space to figure out what he thinks about it too. This will help eliminate any potential awkwardness. Of course, the length of time that you need to wait will vary from situation to situation. But a good rule of thumb is to wait at least two weeks, or until you start feeling more comfortable with the idea of talking to him again. {'smallUrl':'https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/b\/bf\/Communicate-With-a-Guy-After-He-Rejected-You-Step-3-Version-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Communicate-With-a-Guy-After-He-Rejected-You-Step-3-Version-4.jpg','bigUrl':'\/images\/thumb\/b\/bf\/Communicate-With-a-Guy-After-He-Rejected-You-Step-3-Version-4.jpg\/aid130884-v4-728px-Communicate-With-a-Guy-After-He-Rejected-You-Step-3-Version-4.jpg','smallWidth':460,'smallHeight':345,'bigWidth':728,'bigHeight':546,'licensing':'<div class=\'mw-parser-output\'><p>License: <a target=\'_blank\' rel=\'nofollow noreferrer noopener\' class=\'external text\' href=\'https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\'>Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>'} 3 Be yourself.

How to invest in SDA - Special Deposit Accounts » Pinoy Money Talk How to invest in SDA – Special Deposit Accounts April 24, 2009 April 24, 2009 / Investing 101 / By James Ryan Jonas What alternatives do you have if you have extra money which you won’t need in the near future and which you want to place in a safe investment? Well, the easiest choice is to put it in a bank’s savings account. A savings account is highly liquid — meaning you can withdraw your money anytime you want. It is also safe because deposits up to P250,000 are covered by the Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation. If you want higher interest rate than a savings account, you may opt for a time deposit. Here you park your money for a certain period of time and, in return, the bank offers you an interest rate relatively higher than what your regular savings account will get. Like a savings account, time deposits are covered by the PDIC up to P250,000 per depositor. Now, what if you still want a higher interest rate but are not willing to take additional risk? That’s when you can try investing in Special Deposit Accounts or SDAs. What are Special Deposit Accounts (SDA)?

Imagine how powerful that is. 1. If the opportunity presents itself, don’t be awkward There are many moments throughout your day wherein you interact with people. You say hello, you text, wave, make small talk, and laugh. Next thing you know, you’re crossing paths with your crush at your favorite lunch spot and time freezes. You look around, then you run! That's wrong; don’t run! Avoiding someone makes the situation way worse than actually approaching him. Go on, speak to him, give him a hug, ask him how his day is going. Don’t hesitate! Don’t call him your pal! And don’t spill his coffee when embracing him! Doing any of these things will make the entire situation awkward. The first time you greet a guy in any way other than genuine, you could make the outcome of your meeting totally different. A hug isn’t supposed to be awkward, even if you’re just hugging your crush that you’re afraid to talk to. Just because he isn’t your boyfriend doesn’t mean you can’t show him physical attention. Your crush would appreciate it just as much as a boyfriend would. Hug him! It’s okay!

The power of suggestion is a remarkable thing. If he’s telling you you’re cute and he misses you, maybe he’s starting to imagine you in the role of his future wife. Or maybe he’s just a big softie. Either way, he sounds like a nice guy to be around! Question: People always say that it looks like this boy and I are dating because of how we ‘act,’ when we’re really just friends. But then, most of his friends say that we’ll be perfect together, and he keeps denying it, but he keeps calling me pretty, beautiful, the cutest girl in the world, etc. What I don’t get is why he doesn’t want to say that in front of our friends, but when we’re alone he would say it. What does that mean? Answer: This is a conversation you need to have with your guy. Ask him. He’s the only one who knows the answer. If you become more affectionate in private, he may become more confident in front of his friends. Question: If a boy shoves me with his shoulder then he smiles at me, does he like me? Answer: There are better and clearer ways of showing affection.

Tens of millions of dollars have been plowed by individuals into hopeless projects that have turned out to be Ponzi schemes. You can find out more about Ponzi schemes in this article: The Top 10 Ways to Avoid Being Sucked into a Ponzi Scheme. Perhaps the most common religious scam is a variation of the Nigerian scam, which we wrote about in SCAMMED! What We All Can Learn from These Real-Life Victims (under Foreign Inheritance). In other religious scams, churches have been left with thousands of dollars of debt after being hoodwinked into signing costly leases for equipment they thought was free. In this issue, we take a look at the most common types of church scams and offer some advice on how to avoid them. The affinity church scam 'Affinity' simply means something like 'a shared understanding, interest or belief.' And claiming to share someone else's viewpoint is the sneaky cover many church scam artists use. Pretending to share their faith lulls members of religious organizations into thinking a scammer is genuine. Often claiming some kind of divine guidance, using religious slogans, or claiming to be raising funds for a religious or other worthy cause, church scammers invite their new 'friends' to invest in what turns out to be nothing more than a Ponzi scheme paying for their personal lifestyle.

The piggy bank idea liked many, though, as it gives a high return after fixing the money for a long time with huge interest. As it doesn’t ask for much tax on their transactions, so it feels very comfortable to work with it in any way possible. But anyhow, we can’t forget the fact that Money Network Card website is negatively reviewed on many platforms, so it is somewhere very doubtful and leaves one in a dilemma, whether to trust them or not. Wrapping Up We concluded in today’s discussion that the website is counted in mixed reviews as some are saying that their policies have fooled them by calling them baiting for money. While others call it a complete legit as the website is always high on its offers, gifts on gift cards, and one can use the money in a very effective way, making it safe and reliable. The money network company offers the card to the customers to quickly work with their cash in ATMs, Shopping malls, grocers, and at number of places. They say they provide Visa Zero Liability, which keeps their money safe. Alexis Alden May 23, 2020

Recommended: Go here to see my #1 recommendation for making money online. American Consumer Panels (Fake IHUT Jobs) American Consumer Panels (ACP) claims to be a consulting firm that hires in-home usage testers for $25 to $45 per hour. And that they guarantee you 15-20 hours per week of work. However, after thoroughly reviewing American Consumer Panels, my conclusion is that it’s a scam. Because instead of connecting you with real home product testing jobs, they have you sign up to paid survey sites like LifePoints and Inbox Dollars, through their affiliate links. Related: American Consumer Panels Review: Get Paid to Test Products? LifePoints and Inbox Dollars aren’t scam sites, but neither of them provide real product testing jobs. They pay people a small amount of money to complete surveys. Which is a legitimate way to make money, because you are still helping companies perform market research. But you’re not actually testing products, you’re just answering questions. And it’s not a job that pays $25 to $45 per hour either. You get paid per survey you complete. And when you do the math, on average, most people make less than $2-3 per hour at best.

Consider refinancing if … When is the right time to refinance? How difficult is it to refinance? Does applying for an auto loan affect my credit scores? How much money can you really save by refinancing? Balance Interest rate Expected monthly payment Expected payoff time $20,000 6% $387 60 months Assuming you make the expected monthly payment of $387, that loan will end up costing you a total of $3,196 in interest when all is said and done. Now, let’s say you’re able to refinance and bring that interest rate down to 3.5% over the same five-year time frame. Balance Interest rate Expected monthly payment Expected payoff time $20,000 3.5% $364 60 months Your expected monthly payment would go down to $364, and you’d pay a total of $1,830 in interest. In this case, refinancing your auto loan would save you $23 per month and a whopping $1,366 over the remaining life of the loan. Consider refinancing if … You want a better interest rate You might want to consider refinancing if interest rates have dropped since you took out your current loan or if your credit health has improved. You financed your current auto loan through a dealership Dealerships may not offer you the best rates available.

Finding investors’ capital and dividing it up in an equitable way is especially difficult because a Ponzi scheme “shuffles money around among a lot of people,” he pointed out, “taking one person’s money and giving that to someone else.” Even though the person committing the fraud “takes a relatively small percentage of the take,” he or she is “making a huge mess” in the process. Such confusion is a common element in Ponzi schemes as the orchestrator tries to keep the fraud going and hide what is occurring. It was true of the fraud committed nearly a century ago by Charles Ponzi, an Italian immigrant in Boston who cheated investors out of $20 million by convincing them that they could make a bundle by buying an obscure type of postal order whose value differed from country to country and redeeming it for a profit in the United States. Ponzi schemes existed long before they bore Charles Ponzi’s name. In fact, he got his idea after working at a Montreal bank whose founder had bilked depositors. Indeed, the Bible refers to endeavors that bear the hallmarks of Ponzi schemes, Antle noted. It may be no coincidence that they are also called “rob Peter to pay Paul” frauds.

Scams with these types of loans are more common since most of these lenders do not have to have a license and are not inspected by any state agency. The money they lend is not a conventional mortgage loan that requires licensing. These types of lenders are typically known as private money lenders or hard money lenders. These lenders use money from private individuals to fund the loans they are offering. Since there are no licensing requirements involved in this type of lending, it is much harder to identify a real lender from a scam artist. The question that you should be asking yourself is how to identify a real lender from a scam? What are signs to look out for? One common sign of money lending scams is a lender who is ready to lend you money with little to no questions asked. Does the lender know about real estate investing? Can they answer basic questions for you about investing in real estate and lending terms? Is the lender asking for a large up-front lending fee? How did you find this lender? Did you find this lender through social media websites or certified real estate investing websites? Are the lending terms in the contract too good to be true? Depending on your answers to these questions, you may have yourself a scam artist.

Ponzi scheme - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ponzi scheme From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to navigation Jump to search Charles Ponzi in 1920 while still working as a businessman in Boston A Ponzi scheme is a special kind of fraud. It is based on a fake investment that one schemer (or group of schemers) gets other people to give money to. In Ponzi schemes, the schemer basically says, 'I found a great way to make money fast. The more you give me, the more I can invest in that cause, and the more I can earn for us all'. But a Ponzi scheme doesn't actually 'earn money'. Instead, all of the scheme's money comes from the investors. Once a Ponzi scheme gets too many investors, the system will always crash. This is because the investors all expect more money than they invested, and they will get impatient. These schemes always stop one of three ways: The schemer runs away with the money they got. This is what schemers try to do. The schemer runs out of money; They will be unable to promise money back right away. This is called liquidity, and makes investors panic and demand their money back, often all at once.

Ponzi Schemes | Investor.gov Main navigation (glossary) Ponzi Schemes A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors. Ponzi schemes are named after Charles Ponzi. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors a 50% return within a few months for what he claimed was an investment in international mail coupons. Ponzi used funds from new investors to pay fake “returns” to earlier investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often promise high returns with little or no risk. Instead, they use money from new investors to pay earlier investors and may steal some of the money for themselves. With little or no legitimate earnings, Ponzi schemes require a constant flow of new money to survive. When it becomes hard to recruit new investors, or when large numbers of existing investors cash out, these schemes tend to collapse. Learn more

Example of an Assumed Interest Rate As a hypothetical example, assume a variable annuity, where the annuitant receives a minimum guaranteed periodic payment that is tied to the performance of the annuity's underlying investments. An assumed interest rate of 5% on $1 million of principal would thus generate larger minimum payments to the annuitant than an annuity performing at 2%. Although the annuitant can receive additional payments if the annuity's underlying assets outperform expectations, the minimum guaranteed payment is tied to the assumed interest rate.

Ponzi's biographer, Mitchell Zuckoff, writes of his predecessors, Sarah Howe and William Franklin Miller. In 1880s Boston, Sarah Howe offered female investors a chance to make money in the Ladies Deposit. She garnered half a million dollars from more than a thousand women, using some of the funds to pay off other investors and pocketing the rest. A couple of decades later, William Franklin Miller came along and tried the scheme again to even bigger success. He promised unheard-of returns, and when he came through on his promises, more investors poured in, handing over a million dollars in total before he was exposed [ source: Zuckoff ]. In Miller's case, the victims were so thrilled by the success of their investments that they chose to reinvest their earnings in his scheme [ source: Zuckoff ]. Clearly, Ponzi wasn't the first to implement the scheme, and he wasn't the last -- not by a long shot. Since his stunt in 1920, many Ponzi schemes have been exposed around the world. Some in the past few decades have been the most damaging, however.

Members of Stock Waves get exclusive ideas and guidance to navigate any climate. Get started today » One of the concerns I’ve seen aimed at Bitcoin is the claim that it’s a Ponzi scheme. The argument suggests that because the Bitcoin network is continually reliant on new people buying in, that eventually it will collapse in price as new buyers are exhausted. So, this article takes a serious look at the concern by comparing and contrasting Bitcoin to systems that have Ponzi-like characteristics, to see if the claim holds up. The short answer is that Bitcoin does not meet the definition of a Ponzi scheme in either narrow or broad sense, but let’s dive in to see why that’s the case. Defining a Ponzi Scheme To start with tackling the topic of Bitcoin as a Ponzi scheme, we need a definition. Here is how the US Securities and Exchange Commission defines one: A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors. Ponzi scheme organizers often promise to invest your money and generate high returns with little or no risk. But in many Ponzi schemes, the fraudsters do not invest the money. Instead, they use it to pay those who invested earlier and may keep some for themselves.

Adele Spitzeder Adelheid Luise 'Adele' Spitzeder (; 9 November 1832 – 27 or 28 October 1895), also known by her stage name Adele Vio, was a German actress, folk singer, and confidence trickster. Initially a promising young actress, Spitzeder became a well-known private banker in 19th-century Munich when her theatrical success dwindled. Running what was possibly the first recorded Ponzi scheme, she offered large returns on investments by continually using the money of new investors to pay back the previous ones. At the height of her success, Spitzeder was estimated to be the wealthiest woman in Bavaria. Opening her bank in 1869, Spitzeder managed to fend off attempts to discredit her for a few years before authorities were able to bring her to trial in 1872. Because Ponzi schemes were not yet illegal, she was convicted instead of bad accounting and mishandling customers' money and sentenced to three years in prison. Her bank was closed and 32,000 people lost 38 million gulden, the equivalent of almost 400 million euros in 2017 money, causing a wave of suicides. Her personal fortune in art and cash was stripped from her. After her release from prison in 1876, Spitzeder was no longer employable and left Germany, but she returned in 1878 to publish her memoir.

The creation of complex investment vehicles and the tremendous increase in the amount of money being invested have created greater opportunities for individuals and businesses to perpetrate fraudulent investment schemes. The following are the most prevalent types of securities and commodities fraud schemes: Investment fraud: These schemes—sometimes referred to as “high-yield investment fraud”—involve the illegal sale or purported sale of financial instruments. The typical investment fraud schemes are characterized by offers of low- or no-risk investments, guaranteed returns, overly-consistent returns, complex strategies, or unregistered securities. These schemes often seek to victimize affinity groups—such as groups with a common religion or ethnicity—to utilize the common interests to build trust to effectively operate the investment fraud against them. The perpetrators range from professional investment advisers to persons trusted and interacted with daily, such as a neighbor or sports coach. The fraudster’s ability to foster trust makes these schemes so successful. Investors should use scrutiny and gather as much information as possible before entering into any new investment opportunities. Here are some examples of the most common types of investment fraud schemes: Ponzi schemes: These schemes involve the payment of purported returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors.

In addition to the pyramid, below, the complex contained a variety of buildings, mock temples, built in stone but using their experience with wood The entrance passage is roofed with stone shaped as wooden logs: Further inside, an avenue of pillars were built, with a pattern reminiscent of Greek Doric columns some 2000 years before their conception. The pillar design may have been based on the stems of plants. Note that the pillars are not free-standing, but attached to the main walls. The architects were not yet confident in their building Below is one of the few, perhaps the only, figure of the Pharaoh Khufu, instigator of the Great Pyramid. This figure, only some 4 inches high, is in the Cairo Museum. Khufu is shown with an unusual headdress, and he holds what appears to be a frond in one hand, rather than the crosier and flail that would become standard later.

For instance, Allen Stanford used bank certificates of deposit to defraud tens of thousands of people. Certificates of deposit are usually low-risk and insured instruments, but the Stanford certificates of deposit were fraudulent. Section::::Red flags. According to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), many Ponzi schemes share similar characteristics that should be 'red flags' for investors. The warning signs include: BULLET::::- High investment returns with little or no risk. Every investment carries some degree of risk, and investments yielding higher returns typically involve more risk. Any 'guaranteed' investment opportunity is often considered suspicious. BULLET::::- Overly consistent returns. Investment values tend to go up and down over time, especially those offering potentially high returns. An investment that continues to generate regular positive returns regardless of overall market conditions is considered suspicious. BULLET::::- Unregistered investments. Ponzi schemes typically involve investments that have not been registered with the SEC or with state regulators. Registration is important because it provides investors with access to key information about the company's management, products, services, and finances. BULLET::::- Unlicensed sellers. Federal and state securities laws require that investment professionals and their firms be licensed or registered. Most Ponzi schemes involve unlicensed individuals or unregistered firms. BULLET::::- Secretive or complex strategies.

Claims of pyramid- or Ponzi-scheme similarities Critics have asserted that the funding mechanism of Social Security's pay-as-you-go funding mechanism has similarities with an illegal Ponzi scheme, where early investors are paid off out of the funds collected from later investors instead of from profits from business activity. In particular, they describe a sustainability problem that they say happens when the number of new contributors declines. William G. Shipman of the Cato Institute argues: In common usage a trust fund is an estate of money and securities held in trust for its beneficiaries. The Social Security Trust Fund is quite different. It is an accounting of the difference between tax and benefit flows. When taxes exceed benefits, the federal government lends itself the excess in return for an interest-paying bond, an IOU that it issues to itself. The government then spends its new funds on unrelated projects such as bridge repairs, defense, or food stamps. The funds are not invested for the benefit of present or future retirees. This criticism is not new. In his 1936 presidential campaign, Republican Alf Landon called the trust fund 'a cruel hoax'.

American Colonies - Argentina The Americas South American Colonial Settlements New Andalusia / Rio de la Plata (River Plate) AD 1534 - 1776 When Christopher Columbus first landed in the Bahamas on 12 October 1492 he began a process of colonisation and empire-building on the part of Spain. By 5 December 1492, Columbus had arrived at western Hispaniola, where he founded the colony of La Navidad and became its first viceroy. Then he sailed to eastern Cuba. This became the launch-pad for the creation of New Spain, created when the greatest Aztec city, Tenochtitlan, was defeated in 1521. European colonisation of central and South American could begin in earnest. The Rio de la Plata (River Plate) estuary was the border between a now-united Spain 's colony of Peru, of which Argentina was a part, and the Portuguese colony of Brazil. 'River plate' means 'river of silver' in Spanish. This describes the river itself rather than the estuary, where the rivers Paraná and Uruguay meet. It was first discovered by Europeans in 1516 when the Spanish navigator, Juan Diaz de Solis, was killed by the indigenous people whilst exploring the Rio de la Plata. His death discouraged further European colonisation of what would become Uruguay for more than a century.

Buenos Aires Province Buenos Aires (, 'Provincia de Buenos Aires', ; English: 'good airs') is the largest and most populous Argentinian province. It takes the name from the city of Buenos Aires, which used to be part of the province and the provincial capital until it was federalized in 1880. Since then, in spite of bearing the same name, the province does not include the national capital city proper, though it does include all other localities of the Greater Buenos Aires metropolitan area surrounding it. The current capital of the province is the city of La Plata, founded in 1882. The province is the only within the whole Argentina to be divided into 'partidos' and furtherly into 'localidades' (the rest have 'departamentos'), and borders the provinces of Entre Ríos to the northeast; Santa Fe to the north; Córdoba to the northwest, La Pampa to the west; and Río Negro to south and west; and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires to the northeast. Uruguay is just across the Rio de la Plata to the northeast, near the Atlantic Ocean to the east. The entire province is part of the Pampas geographical region. The province has a population of about 15.6 million people, or 39% of Argentina's total population.

In Buenos Aires, you can meet a stranger one day and be invited to their home for a brilliant barbecue the next.

o Buenos Aires – The capital city of Argentina and the one of the most cosmopolitan cities in South America, visitors shouldn’t miss going to public spaces where you can watch dancers and tango groups perform, which the country is known for. Don’t forget to drop by the neighbourhoods of San Telmo and La Boca to buy handicrafts and souvenirs that you can bring back home. o Cordoba – When in Argentina, one must include Cordoba in their itineraries and discover why UNESCO has named it as the American Capital of Culture. The city is a perfect example of the preservation of national history, with the colonial buildings and beautiful scenery creating a unique Bohemian atmosphere. o Mendoza – Don’t forget to have a taste of Argentinian wine before leaving for home!

(Allen also notes that in 2005, Francis was accused by a human rights lawyer of helping the ruling junta in Argentina of kidnapping two liberal Jesuit priests who were subsequently 'disappeared' as part of the government's 'Dirty War' against leftists in 1976. Francis denied the charges.) But Francis also seems to be an opponent of austerity, most notably during his time as spiritual leader of Argentina when the country defaulted on its debt in 2002. A paper by Thomas Trebat, 'Argentina, the Church, and Debt,' details the church's role in the crisis's resolution. Argentine bishops, including Francis, had long criticized the laissez-faire policies of Carlos Menem, who was president from 1989 to 1999. 'The bishops were critical of the economic model as a generator of poverty and unemployment, notwithstanding the stability it had brought to the country,' Trebat wrote. And when the debt crisis hit in 2002, the church called in strong terms for a debt restructuring to take place which privileged social programs above debt repayment.

Argentina–Holy See relations Argentina–Holy See relations are the foreign relations between Argentina and the Holy See. The current pope, Pope Francis, was the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires. Section::::History. Argentina, which was a Spanish colony as part of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata, lost its relation with the Holy See during the Argentine War of Independence. Both countries reestablished diplomatic relations on 17 April 1840, during the administration of Juan Manuel de Rosas. Argentina has an embassy to the Holy See, and the Holy See has an embassy in Buenos Aires. Pope John Paul II made two pastoral visits. The first was in June 1982 where he called for an end to the Falklands War. The second was in April 1987 where he lectured on morality. Vatican officials, including Pope John Paul II and Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Agostino Casaroli acted as mediators to help resolve Argentina's dispute with Chile over the Beagle Channel.

The social aspects of clothing have revolved around traditions regarding certain items of clothing intrinsically suited different gender roles. In different periods, both women's and men's fashions have highlighted one area or another of the body for attention. In particular, the wearing of skirts and trousers has given rise to common phrases expressing implied restrictions in use and disapproval of offending behavior. For example, ancient Greeks often considered the wearing of trousers by Persian men as a sign of an effeminate attitude. Women's clothing in Victorian fashion was used as a means of control and admiration. Reactions to the elaborate confections of French fashion led to various calls for reform on the grounds of both beauties (Artistic and Aesthetic dress) and health (dress reform; especially for undergarments and lingerie). Although trousers for women did not become fashionable until the later 20th century, women began wearing men's trousers (suitably altered) for outdoor work a hundred years earlier. In the 1960s, André Courrèges introduced long trousers for women as a fashion item, leading to the era of the pantsuit and designer jeans, and the gradual eroding of the prohibitions against girls and women wearing trousers in schools, the workplace, and fine restaurants. Corsets have long been used for fashion, and body modification, such as waistline reduction.

Muddassar Memon answered Well people in Argentina more or less wear the same type of clothes that people wear in other western countries in day to day life. Like in the streets of Argentina you will see a lot of people wearing jeans, t-shirts, shirts, shorts, etc. Generally most of the men wear formal shirts or uniforms to work. You will see a lot of young children or college going students in football jerseys since football is quiet a popular sport in Argentina. Normally for traditional events, Argentine people, mainly girls or women and older generation, would wear traditional attires. Argentina basically is a country situated in South America, and covers a continental land area of 2,766,890 square kilometres. Argentina shares its land borders with Paraguay and Bolivia towards the north, Brazil and Uruguay towards the northeast and Chile in the west and south. d ds answered Gaucho clothes are Argentina's official clothing. But wearing pants and shirts just like in USA is very much common there too. There is difference in style of Gaucho clothes depending on region, The main elements of Gaucho clothes are: The alpargatas-A rope sole and canvas shoe, The bombachas de campo-Strong pure cotton trousers with a button at ankle, They are best for horse riding too, Poncho (used in winters).

Clothing is important also, and although men spend considerably less than women on apparel, they spend substantially more if they are actively dating as opposed to being married. One reason that dress is important for men is that it projects social status; women who reject a man in a Burger King uniform might be willing to date someone in medical scrubs. The quality of non-work clothing also conveys an impression about where a person shops and their disposable income. Women are attracted to other signs of high social status, from elite diction to driving an expensive car, or dining at a posh restaurant (3). Perhaps, for this reason, many still prefer if the man pays the expenses of a date. In our society, this is a sign of having disposable income and being generous enough to dispose of it. Even in societies that did not use money, men were expected to bring gifts when they courted. This practice bears analogy with the nuptial gifts of birds and insects where the female is lulled into a sense of security by getting a morsel to eat. The act of generosity is invariably by the male. This fits in with Bateman's Principle according to which males are more eager to mate and therefore must do something to win over the female.

One main reason for the dispute over which country claims the islands is that Argentina claims it was inherited from the Spanish crown in the early 1800s, despite being the possession of Britain since 1833. The vast majority of the Falkland Islands population is of British descent. What is Argentina famous for? That depends on who you ask. Some people will rave about the wine and delicious authentic cuisine, while others may favor its unique majestic landscapes and nature. Ranging from the Andes mountains to the disputed Falkland Islands and Iguazu Falls. We would be remiss not to mention Argentina is famous for its outstanding football team and players. Despite having a somewhat tumultuous history from slavery to military dictatorships, Argentina is reemerging today as a leading economic power. The next time you travel to Argentina, be sure to enjoy its beautiful cities, have merienda with friends in the afternoon, and dance the Tango the night away. Daniel James from Layer Culture is a cultural traveler from the United Kingdom. Daniel dedicates his time to learning Spanish whilst exploring and learning about life in Latin America.

Fast Facts in Buenos Aires | Frommer's Home › Destinations › Central and South America › South America › Argentina › Buenos Aires › Planning a Trip › Fast Facts Buenos Aires Fast Facts in Buenos Aires Area Codes -- The city area code for Buenos Aires, known locally as a característica, is 011. Drop the 0 when adding Argentina's country code, 54. The number 15 in front of a local number indicates a cellphone number, though some phones no longer use this code. You'll still need to dial 011 before the 15 if you're calling these numbers from outside Buenos Aires. Calling cellphones from overseas can be complicated. Dial whatever international code you need from your country (011 from the U.S. and Canada), then 54 for Argentina, then 9 to indicate a cellphone, then the area code of the cellphone, then the number. Thus, to call Buenos Aires cellphones from the U.S., you would dial 011-54-9-11 and then the eight-digit number. Be aware that phone numbers in other areas have anywhere from 5 to 7 digits, but always ask if a number seems strange. Business Hours -- Banks are generally open weekdays 10am to 3pm, and ATMs work 24 hours.

33 José de San Martín, or the Protector of the South, is thought to be the most famous person of Argentina. He is known for leading South America to freedom from Spanish rule. 34 Argentina is divided into seven different regions. These regions include Northwest, Cuyo, Pampas, Pantagonia, Mesopotamia, Gran Chaco, and Sierras Pampeanas. 35 After the death of Juan Peron in 1976, the military took control, beginning a period known as the dirty war.

View on REI View on Amazon Is Argentina safe for solo female travelers? source: Max play (shutterstock) Travelling as a female brings a whole other layer of safety concerns. While it’s true (and unfortunate) that women have to be more careful, Argentina is a great place for solo female travellers. There are a number of dangers and annoyances that women will need to be aware of in Argentina, but these can be avoided with certain precautions. Here are some key ones: Like most South American countries, Argentina is home to a macho society. This means catcalling, regularly and frequently from almost all men. If you’re walking alone this is likely to occur. Ignore it, and it will become background noise. If you feel uncomfortable in a situation, feel that you’re in danger, or feel threatened by someone, move towards a public place, a shop, tourist police – find help. Don’t walk around sketchy streets after dark e.g. parks, shortcuts down alleyways, all the usual stuff. Just be careful and think, “Would I walk through a place like this at home?” If in doubt get an Uber home. Often the safer option. Taxis aren’t always great for solo women travellers, in both Argentina and the whole world for that matter.

Here are a few reasons why tourists can't get enough of Argentina, and why you might want to plan a visit soon. 01 of 10 Argentine Wine Michele Falzone/Getty Images It is a special treat to drink a glass of wine in the same city in which its grape was grown. Argentina is the sixth largest wine producing country by volume, so these opportunities abound. You can enjoy an aromatic Torrontes in Salta, a classic Cabernet Sauvignon in the north, or a meaty Mendoza Malbec in the central region of the country. Many Argentine wineries offer wine tours and tastings. 02 of 10 Iguazú Falls Grant Ordelheide/Getty Images 'Poor Niagara!' These were the words Eleanor Roosevelt reportedly said when she visited Iguazú Falls for the first time. The term 'Iguazú' means 'great waters' in the Guarani language. The falls were established in 1984 as a Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Along with Nahuel Huapi National Park in Patagonia, Iguazú Falls is among the most frequented tourist sites in Argentina, and for good reason. Visitors can enjoy the awe-inspiring views of the falls along with tours, treks, and water sports at the falls' base.

How to cook pheasant's back or dryad's saddle mushrooms - A Magical Life 01 JUL How to cook pheasant’s back or dryad’s saddle mushrooms Pheasant’s back mushrooms can be incredibly easy to find this time of year and incredibly tasty — but you have to know which ones to use and how to prepare them right. Many foragers are told not to bother with pheasant’s back mushrooms, also known as dryad’s saddles. While it’s undisputed that they are edible (as in non-poisonous), many experienced foragers will tell you that they’re tough, chewy and not worth the bother. This is their loss, as these mushrooms are quite good if you know how to treat them and when they’re best. Forager Chef explains: The dryad saddle is a very firm mushroom. I’ve heard of people eating it and not liking it, and saying it is inedible. I have also heard people praise it for being delicious. The confusing part is that both are right, It just depends on at what age you happen to find the mushroom. You wouldn’t want to eat the stem of asparagus when it’s old and woody, although you could make soup with them. The Dryad Saddle is the same way.

One of the most well known meat dishes is mousaka, which is eggplant, ground beef (or lamb or pork), potatos and tomato sauce with béchamel which illustrates the way the Greek chefs use meat as a component to a dish. Many meat dishes are cooked in tomatoes and red wine and others in lemon such as lamb fricasse, which is lamb cooked with endives or romaine lettuce and an egg-lemon sauce. Garlic is used heavily as are onions and potatoes in the many stews and oven baked dishes. There is a pork dish similar to fricasse which is made with celery and served in the winter called hirino me celino. Dolmades(stuffed grape leaves),kolokithia gemista, (stuffed zuchinni), tomates ke peperies gemista (stuffed tomatoes and peppers) and laxano gemista(stuffed cabbage) are other examples of stretching the meat by using it with rice and vegetables. Pastitsio (photo) is like lasagna though not as saucy and is made with pasta, ground beef, tomatoes, onions and garlic and béchamel sauce. Giovetsiis lamb baked with orzo pasta and tomato sauce. For Easter the most popular food for most of Greece is whole lamb roasted on a spit. This is especially popular because it follows 40 days of fasting for lent and people are definitely ready for some meat, though not everyone fasts the entire forty days.
