Organized Crime has existed in Russia (former Soviet Union) for centuries. Under the communist regime corruption was as normal in Russia as snow falling during the winter. One of the big money makers for the Russian criminals was selling Western products on the black market, a market they controlled in the 1970s and 80s. It was also during this time that there was a wave of Russian émigrés who fled to North America. Most of these émigrés were Jewish, however a lot of Russians faked a Jewish passport, among them Russian criminals. Most of the Russians settled in Brighton Beach in New York, which has got the largest Russian population outside of Russia.
Russian criminals are active in: Fraud, transnational money laundering, extortion, drug trafficking, weapon smuggling, auto theft, white slave trafficking/prostitution, hostage taking, extortion of immigrant celebrities and sport figures, transportation of stolen property for export, insurance (staged auto accidents) and MURDER

I just don't understand myself. I am in Love i know i am!!! I have been with this guy for 6 years on and off. When we are together after awhile I kind of lose interest in him, so he leaves once he leaves I am a total wreck without him, and I know I love him, so why do I only want him when I can't have him?

∫[x^2ydx + (x^2 - y^2)dy]

the first path is y=x^2 (0,0)(2,4).

so:
x = t
y = t^2
dx = dt
dy = 2tdt
0
∫(t^4 + 2t^3 - 2t^5)dt limits:{0,2}

the second path is y=2x. 0
so:
x=t
y=2t
dx = dt
dy = 2dt

so:
∫(2t^3 - 6t^2)dt limits:{0,2}

for the first one i get -104/15
and the second i get -8

they should be the same right?
did i mess up somewhere? or did you get the same answer?

I have a depression, so I went to the medical clinic to make an appointment with a psychiatrist. After answering a few questions with the clinic doctor, he wrote a reference for me, and right now I am waiting for a phone call from the psychiatrist or the hospital.
I have no idea how long does it take to see the psychiatrist and I need a consultation with the doctor as soon as possible.
Can anyone answer my question?

So someone stole my credit card number and bought $10,000 worth of American Express Gift Cards. They shipped them to my house but i guess they waited outside and when the delivery guy came, they signed the package and ran off with it.
(I work during the day)

Is there anyway i could find out what the numbers were of the gift cards and a store could track them down? Or if they used them at a store they could get caught? Or if i could cancel them?

Do i have to pay for them since they were shipped to my house?

I call Visa and they wont give me the time of thier day.

Please Help.
