Has anyone made billions of euros from implementing loopholes?

Has anyone made billions of euros from implementing loopholes?
I hear of some friends that started online gambling sites and made millions of euros overseas (forget a 9 to 5 right) . Others I heard have taken out 200k in student loans, used the loans to open businesses in Dominican republic and colombia... (just a couple of examples) . Anyone care to share other examples or ideas ? ha Joe i wish, if i knew my great grandkids would be rich off loophole money i would do it whats a few years in a jail for a greater cause? (i actually wouldn't be caught alive anyway) but the point here is LOOPHOLE not extortion or scheme, loophole as in breaking a law that isn't made yet so you can't get in trouble for making the billions Andrew- sounds like you speak from experience thanks for the input at least its possible, my thing is the "beyond us" part of being lucky or on time enough to get connected where you have the clients, product, and income

Yes I like your way of thinking, using your intelligence to come up with creative ways to make a fortune. As the saying goes "And if it harms none, do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" To make a lot of money you could run an internet business, with a good product and millions of potential customers you could make a fortune. Good luck. Andrew

Can you edit this paragraph in Spanish please?


Can you edit this paragraph in Spanish please?
I have done the best I can with it, and the language lab is closed during finals week so I can't get help there like I usually do. I will post the English and Spanish versions in case my translations are way off, which they sometimes are! Thanks so much for your help! I posted earlier today, but I think this one got lost among the other posts. Thanks again for your hard work. Cultura del estudiante Las presentaciones de los estudiantes eran realmente buenas. Me benefició para oír a otros estudiantes hablar sobre un tema que tienen gusto. Aprendí mucho sobre el alimento y la música. Pero sobre todo aprendí que la gente no es ésa diferente. El alimento que comemos puede comer diversas texturas y especias, pero todos gozamos el tener de una comida con la familia o los amigos. La música que la gente en Colombia escucha pudo tener un diverso golpe, solamente nosotros que todos gozan el escuchar y el bailar. No importa dónde una persona nace, somos más semejantes que somos diferentes. And here is what I am trying to say in English: Student Culture The presentations by the students were really good. It benefited me to hear other students speak about a subject they like. I learned a lot about food and music. But mostly I learned that people aren’t that different. The food we eat may have different textures and spices, but we all enjoy having a meal with family or friends. The music that the people in Colombia listen to might have a different beat, but we all enjoy listening and dancing. No matter where a person is born, we are more alike than we are different. You guys rock! Thanks for the quick response. :-) Javy, I like your last sentance way better than mine! It sounds really good and you were able to put it in to better words. Thanks!

I think you used a translator. I may be wrong, but at the end you say a person is born. That sounds okay in english, but I still don't think it's correct. It's definitely NOT correct in spanish. The rest needs a little editing too.

Here is the translation: El estudiante Cultiva Las presentaciones por los estudiantes fueron tan bueno. Me benefició para oír que otros estudiantes hablan acerca de un sujeto que ellos quieren. Aprendí mucho acerca de alimento y música. Pero en su mayor parte yo aprendí que personas no son eso diferente. El alimento que comemos puede tener texturas y especias diferentes, pero todos disfrutamos de tener una comida con la familia o amigos. La música que las personas en Colombia escucha para poder tiene un golpe diferente, pero todos disfrutamos de escuchar y baile. No importa dónde una persona nace, somos más semejantes que somos diferentes.

Las presentaciones de los estudiantes FUERON realmente buenas. Me BENEFICIÉ OYENDO a otros estudiantes hablar sobre un tema que LES GUSTA. Aprendí mucho sobre COMIDA y música. Pero sobre todo aprendí que la gente no ES TAN diferente. LA COMIDA que comemos puede TENER diversas texturas y especias, pero todos DISFRUTAMOS COMER con la familia o los amigos. La música que la gente en Colombia escucha PUEDE tener un RITMO DIFERENTE, PERO TODOS DISFRUTAMOS ESCUCHAR MÚSICA Y BAILAR. No importa dónde una persona nace, somos más semejantes/ PARECIDOS (this is just another possibility) que DIFERENTES. Hope this helps

Cultúra estudiantil Las presentaciones de los estudiantes eran realmente buenas. Me benefició el oír a otros estudiantes hablar sobre un tema por el que sienten gusto. Aprendí mucho sobre la comida y la música. Pero sobre todo aprendí las personas no son tan diferentes entre sí. Los alimentos que comemos puede ser que tengan diferente textura y especias, pero todos gozamos el tener una comida con la familia o los amigos. La música que la gente en Colombia escucha puede que tenga un ritmo diferente, pero todos la disfrutamos al bailala y al escucharla. No importa en dónde nasca una persona, son más las diferencias que nos unen que las diferencias que nos alejan. I just fixed a few words ,you did a great job

Wow it's been a while haha. But I think you're confusing your "ser" and "eran". You should switch it to "fueron" in the first sentence there. And I think you need to look at some of the other verbs you're using. Like look at the differences between imperfect and past tenses.

Well, Sister, it is way too long, but let me try to help you. There are mistakes in your paragraph in Spanish. I will re-write it correctly in Spanish assuming that your one in English is correct. I find it correct. In some instances there are different ways to say or mean one and the same thing in Spanish, just as it happens in English. I have tried to keep my Spanish version literally as near as posible to your English version unless it is strictly necessary to do otherwise in order to convey your thoughts. OK? "Cultura del Estudiante Las presentaciones de los estudiantes fueron realmente buenas. Me ayudo' mucho oir a los estudiantes hablar sobre un tema que a ellos les gusta. Aprendi mucho sobre alimentacion y musica. Pero mayormente aprendi que las gentes no son tan diferentes. Los alimentos que comemos pueden tener (o "puede que tengan") distintas texturas y especias, pero todos disfrutamos una comida en familia o con amigos. La musica que escucha (u "oye") la gente de Colombia puede (o "podria") un ritmo distinto, pero todos disfrutamos de oirla y bailarla. No importa el lugar de nacimiento de una persona, nos parecemos mas unos a otros que lo que nos diferenciamos". There it goes. And believe me, I do KNOW Spanish. Friendly, Adian.

How do you like this essay? (VCU scholarship essay)?

How do you like this essay? (VCU scholarship essay)?
Subject: 100th page of my autobiography I listened to the lyrics. How quickly the words flew into my ears, prancing through my mind with the grace of a Cumbian dancer. “Siento algo que me mueve. Un ritmo que me hace bailar,” the beautiful voice said to me. I swayed with the crowd, fully understanding the Spanish expressions that rolled through the thick, hazy air. It was hard to believe that I was actually in Colombia, not to mention my most recent months spent traveling across the globe. The heavy smell of gasoline and rain reminded me of Richmond. I stepped out onto the terrace, glimpsing the darkening sky and ogling the palm embellished skyline. I then noticed how casually dressed everyone was, maybe I was at the wrong address. No, there were too many familiar faces here. A few people greeted me with the traditional kiss on the cheek and a quick hello. I couldn’t help but admire how rhythmically the women’s hips moved to the beat. The way the men led in a salsa dance was so powerful yet elegant. I stood along the edge of the festivities, watching the blinking strobe lights transform the shadow of movement into people and back again. Someone in the swarm of bodies snatched my arm, the flashing lights revealing to me a slender, brunette woman. It was just Marcela, a lovely girl from the island of Santa Marta. We had met years ago and she was presently my business associate as well as good friend. She towed me through the pulsing mass of dancers, clumsily shoving a few people along the way. I found myself in the center of the crowd; the lights went out and the music stopped. A tall, mustached man came out carrying what looked like a large package above his head. Once he reached Marcela, the people around me began to chant, “Feliz cumpleaños a ti, feliz cumpleaños a ti”. It was the Spanish translation of the Happy Birthday song. “I was supposed to be here on business,” I said laughing. She simply threw her hands up, shrugging her shoulders, as if to say “I don’t know. It wasn’t me.” We were here for our newly founded studio, K.M Photography and Design. Marcela and I had many connections throughout Colombia that were helping our business soar. When we met, Marcela was a transfer student who came from her hometown to study business at Virginia Commonwealth University. I was an optimistic freshman looking to major in graphic design. We happened to be in the same inquiry class. Marcela and I bonded immediately, even with the slight language barrier. “We can take one night off for your birthday, can’t we?” she asked charmingly. The party tonight was supposed to be a formal event concerning K.M, so my attire bore a professional feel that was unnatural in my current setting. I looked down at my stiletto heels, blushing a bit for disregarding my own birthday. “All right, but we have to make sure to send that paperwork to Mr. Rincon by Monday and to return the call from Chrome Imaging about the…” I went on, only to be cut off by Marcela’s reassuring tone. “Korrin, you know that we are weeks ahead on our paperwork and all the orders have been sent for printing. Let’s just enjoy the night!” She had always been so laid back, even hippy-like, which was very uncommon for a business major. That’s probably why we have always worked so well together, our contrasting personalities provided us with a perfect balance. A gigantic cake was presented to me with twenty-eight flickering candles. I shifted towards the towering dessert and closed my eyes, attempting to make a wish. But what else could I possibly ask for? My business was taking off splendidly, my family and friends were healthy, and I’ve never been so happy. Besides, I was much too old for this. So without a wish, I blew out every purple candle, hoping that my future would be as wonderful as my present and past.

Wow, this is incredible. I don't even know what to say. It drew me in from the very beginning, and help my interested throughout the entire thing. It leaves me desperately wanting more; both before and after this part. Excellent job; I don't even have any constructive criticism!

Yes, well written. There are some transformational grammar issues that while quite technical, could aid you in your final draft. Remember the basic rules: Transformational grammar provides a further set of transformational rules to show that all complex sentences are formed from simple elements. These rules manipulate elements and otherwise rearrange structures to give the surface structures of sentences. Perhaps, you could change the wording: Once he reached Marcela, the people around me began to chant, “”. It was the Spanish translation of the Happy Birthday song. Your insinuation that the "Happy Birthday Song" is of English origin could be construed as a fact-which it is not. Again, quite technical, nevertheless it should be reconsidered in the final draft. Very well done. Good Luck. s_e_s
