Foreign Dating – Vigilance is the Key to Avoid Being Scammed
Finding love online could be both exciting and painful. Exciting, if you ultimately find true love; and painful, if you are scammed by unscrupulous players looking to rip off the gullible lonely hearts, like you. Sadly, there are several scamsters lurking in the wild horizons of cyberspace trying to lure their victims on the online dating websites, and in the midst of all these dangers, often, the sufferers are the genuine lovers trying to find true love on the Internet.
Online dating scams are a reality and you would do well to accept this at the earliest and avoid falling in the traps carefully laid by the scamsters. The one thing you require to keep these scamsters away is 'diligence' in whatever you are doing online.
The most common mistake that we commit while trying to find love online is blind faith on the person at the other end. Remember, you can't see or talk to the person at the other end until he or she allows you to. And in the absence of this permission, the only thing you can do is text-chat. And this is the place where you need to show extra caution, or shall I say 'diligence'. While chatting with a person on a dating site, never reveal anything about yourself that you won't tell a stranger in the offline world. In other words, don't treat online environment as too different while you are having a chat. Remember, the other person is a stranger until you have met, talked to, and developed sufficient understanding with, each other.
So, the first rule is simply not to reveal personal and private information to the other person until there is a strong bonding between both of you and you have agreed to take your relationship to the next level. This information may include your address, your official address, any other contact details, name and contact details of your friends, etc. And always remember not to reveal your financial secrets, bank account numbers, online passwords, etc. till the time you are married and have sufficient trust on each other.
The second diligent thing you can do is simply gloss over the profile of the person you are about to chat with. If you are a man looking for a woman, try to stay away from profiles of girls reflecting sex all over their profile. For instance, they may have a sexy username, like sexy_girl_18, or late_night_sexy_girl, etc. And if you are a girl looking for a man, simply stay from profiles of men showing off their physical attributes. For instance, they may have a username like handsome_hulk, tall_dark_handsome, etc. Also watch out for the inviting photographs accompanying the profile. In most cases, the pictures are fake.
Such kind of online behavior can either be immature or a well-laid out trap to lure the gullible users of the site. And neither is desired when you are looking for a serious online dating relationship with a potential life partner.

Dating Sexy Ukrainian Ladies With Antiscam Protection
Many men wish to find a family oriented lady from Russia and Ukraine but become into victims of scammers – people who enter into virtual or real contact with the goal of swindling out your money. Last web researches show that 80% of profiles filled out by charming Ukrainian women at open dating services with online subscription are absolutely or in part phony. Of course not all of them are scammers. Many are true brides but they do not present accurate facts about them: they cheat about their age, contact information, goals, they upload pictures which are so distorted that you would never identify this lady in actual life.
There are two steps to defend yourself:
1. Seek to avoid big dating sites where women subscription is made via Internet. The motive is simple: when a lady fills the form in the internet you have no guarantee that the submitted information corresponds to the reality. You will see a picture of a sexy Russian girl with an ideal body; erudite, affectionate, sincere, a wonderful cook and so on but you will know too late that there is a scammer hiding behind.
2. Find a reliable local Marraige agency where beautiful Russian brides PERSONNALLY subscribe at the agency office. In this way you will have a 100% GUARANTEE that all Russian and Ukrainian women listed in the Marraige agency catalog really exist, have true fresh photos and are REALLY honest.
Trustful agencies will never request your funds before you get first feeling from chosen Ukrainian girls.
A reliable International Marraige Agency makes not only simple arrangement of your meeting but will assist you until you build a long-term relationship or get married to the Russian bride.
The fact that all girls at the catalog are from the same city is a good mark. It means that the agency does not accept brides profiles sent by internet.
Thus you have a guarantee that you will come across a REAL lady, really motivated todiscover the man of her dreams.

Can you Use a Patent Application Filing in Order to Obtain a Foreign Filing License for "technical Data" ?
Can You Use a Patent Application Filing in Order to Obtain a Foreign Filing License for "technical data" ? - YES! - By Richard Neifeld, Ph.D., Patent Attorney, Neifeld IP Law, PC www.Neifeld.com
United States laws provide restrictions on exporting "technical data" outside the U.S. Obtaining a license to export that data through conventional channels may be time consuming and relatively expensive. A patent application can rapidly and inexpensively effect a license to export certain "technical data". U.S. patent laws and regulations provide for such a procedure, as follows. Unites States patent code section 35 USC 184 states as follows:
35 USC 184 - Filing of application in foreign country
Except when authorized by a license obtained from the Commissioner of Patents a person shall not file or cause or authorize to be filed in any foreign country prior to six months after filing in the United States an application for patent or for the registration of a utility model, industrial design, or model in respect of an invention made in this country. A license shall not be granted with respect to an invention subject to an order issued by the Commissioner of Patents pursuant to section 181 of this title without the concurrence of the head of the departments and the chief officers of the agencies who caused the order to be issued. The license may be granted retroactively where an application has been filed abroad through error and without deceptive intent and the application does not disclose an invention within the scope of section 181 of this title. The term "application" when used in this chapter includes applications and any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto, or divisions thereof. The scope of a license shall permit subsequent modifications, amendments, and supplements containing additional subject matter if the application upon which the request for the license is based is not, or was not, required to be made available for inspection under section 181 of this title and if such modifications, amendments, and supplements do not change the general nature of the invention in a manner which would require such application to be made available for inspection under such section 181. In any case in which a license is not, or was not, required in order to file an application in any foreign country, such subsequent modifications, amendments, and supplements may be made, without a license, to the application filed in the foreign country if the United States application was not required to be made available for inspection under section 181 and if such modifications, amendments, and supplements do not, or did not, change the general nature of the invention in a manner which would require the United States application to have been made available for inspection under such section 181.
United States patent regulation 37 CFR 5.11 states as follows:
37 CFR 5.11 - License for filing in a foreign country an application on an invention made in the United States or for transmitting international application
(a) A license from the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks under 35 U.S.C. 184 is required before filing any application for patent including any modifications, amendments, or supplements thereto or divisions thereof or for the registration of a utility model, industrial design, or model, in a foreign patent office or any foreign patent agency or any international agency other than the United States Receiving Office, if the invention was made in the United States and:
1) An application on the invention has been filed in the United States less than six months prior to the date on which the application is to be filed, or
2) No application on the invention has been filed in the United States.
(b) The license from the Commissioner of Patents and Trademarks referred to in paragraph (a) would also authorize the export of technical data abroad for purposes relating to the preparation, filing or possible filing and prosecution of a foreign patent application without separately complying with the regulations contained in 22 CFR parts 121 through 130 (International Traffic in Arms Regulations of the Department of State), 15 CFR part 779 (Regulations of the Office of Export Administration, International Trade Administration, Department of Commerce) and 10 CFR part 810 (Foreign Atomic Energy Programs of the Department of Energy). [49 FR 13461, Apr. 4, 1984; paras. (a) and (e), 56 FR 1924, Jan. 18, 1991, effective Feb. 19, 1991; paras. (b), (c), and (e)(3) revised, 62 FR 53131, Oct. 10, 1997, effective Dec. 1, 1997]
Thus, you can rapidly obtain a license for "technical data" by filing a U.S. patent application. That can be far more cost effective than by the alternative of complying with 22 CFR and 15 CFR. Moreover, it can be a lot faster.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will in most applications provide a foreign filing license, and will do so within a few weeks of the filing of the patent application. However, the USPTO also makes even more expedited service is available. While getting patent applications issued into patents may take years, getting a foreign filing license does not!

What U.S. entities can purchase stock on foreign markets and are there any requirements?
I'm interested in either personally investing or starting a holding company that invests in stock on foreign exchanges, as well as (at a later date possibly) domestic markets. Could anyone please lead me in the right direction as to what my options are and what the necessary requirements/forms/documentation would be?
To clarify my information, I'm a U.S. Citizen. As for the foreign markets I'm looking to invest in, they consist mainly of less-established Eastern European markets, such as Moldova, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Russia, etc.

Going On A Date With Your Ukrainian Bride? Better Read This!
Going on any date is quite thrilling and exciting, though this excitement doubles when one goes on an international date with a person from another country. Ukrainians have a saying that people judge you first by your looks and deeds and only then do they appreciate you for your IQ. Thus, making an initial positive impression is very important and knowing Ukrainian dating courtesy traditions may greatly assist you in doing so.
In our modern world, many women who come from European counties or USA are quite emancipated. This greatly affects dating courtesy traditions of those countries. However, it is not so with most Ukrainian ladies. Ukrainian ladies are independent and many of them support themselves financially, but they still are quite willing to receive mens' courting and attention. Moreover, they expect to receive it from the men they date. So let us take a look at some of such major Ukrainian dating courtesy traditions.
Now, understanding Ukrainian dating courtesy traditions means understanding your Ukrainian fiancees expectations and meeting them. Lets say, you decide to go out with your lady for a dinner. You pick her up at her place or meet at your hotel, than you go to the restaurant together. First of all she would expect you pay for her ticket in public transportation or to pay the cab driver, that is if you take the cab.
In fact, as you will surely discover, paying for your lady is one of the major Ukrainian dating courtesy traditions. There is one great rule to go by: you pray, I pay. This way you will never make a mistake. It is not because Ukrainian ladies are poor or greedy. Simply, such is the tradition. If a man courts a lady, he has to cover all their dating expenses.
Next, she would always expect you to show your courtesy by opening up doors for her, by letting her enter facilities first or by offering her a hand when she goes out of a cab or public transportation. At the restaurant she would expect you to help her get seated by moving her chair, etc. All such things are essential for Ukrainian dating courtesy traditions, because even though Ukrainian ladies are considered to be smart and independent, they still like to be very feminine and with great pleasure receive all such male courtship.
As I have already mentioned above, a lady would expect you to pay for her at the restaurant, cinema or theatre, etc. In addition, giving her small gifts would also be appropriate. If it is not some big event, you are celebrating, than you may stick with some flowers and candies.
However, be careful what flowers you select. In Ukraine you always give your fiancee an odd number of flowers, because the bouquets with even number of flowers are given for the burials only!
Another important thing about flowers is their colour. Do not give your lady yellow flowers, unless you know for sure that it is her favourite colour. In Ukraine, yellow is the colour of departure and separation. If your lady is superstitious she may believe it to be a bad sign and consider your relationships to be doomed for bad luck!
