It seems to me that they're on a "better" path (e.g. addition of 500 notaries) although not the "right" path (no government-defined limit in the number of notaries). I think this government knows what they are doing. They…

Cheapest way to ship heavy boxes

I've been living in the beautiful bay Area for over 8 yrs. I just joined the site and I wished I knew about it earlier. I am a Solar Product Developer Designer, Industrial Designer by Education, looking for Italian American professional connections. Ideally I would like to work in the US but for Italian Companies or vice versa.

Spero di sentirti presto, Ciao
