The open water in Paris may not look that inviting, but this Sunday (and this Sunday only) Parisians are invited for a swim.
No, this is not a joke - you can actually jump in if you dare.
The day of open-air swimming in the city's largest official lake has been organized by the French Swimming Federation (FFN), for those willing to brave the somewhat murky waters.
"People don't really know much about open water swimming, but I think a lot of people would like to try it," a spokesperson from the FNN told The Local.
"This is a good thing for Paris."
The day of swimming and races will be held in the Bassin de la Villette, which connects the Canal de l'Ourcq with the Canal Saint-Martin in the 19th arrondissement.
Official races will be held until 3pm, and then the public is invited to take a dip for free up until 6pm.
Normally it's illegal to swim in the lake, although that hasn't stopped some from taking the plunge during the current heatwave. In fact, in front of The Local's offices at the time of writing, people can be seen cooling off in the bassin with little regard for the rules.
The spot is popular for boating in the summer, however some might be wary about actually getting into the water.
A massive clean-up operation in the Canal Saint-Martin recently uncovered a variety of bizarre objects hidden in its depths - from bottles to bikes to a stray toilet - but organizers promise the water in the Bassin de la Villette is safe for Sunday's event.
The FNN said the water had been analyzed on Thursday, and that a second test would be carried out on Friday to make sure it was clean. However, as a precautionary measure, under 18s have been banned from taking part.
Adventurous swimmers can sign up through the FNN's website, but competition will be tough, with France's 2016 Olympic swimming team also taking to the waters. Hundreds have already signed up for the races, and in total over 1,600 people have shown interest on the Facebook event page.
Continuing the Olympic theme, the event is also linked to the city's bid to host the 2024 Games; Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo has suggested that the swimming section of the triathlon could take place in the Seine. In June, she launched a plan to make open water swimming possible in several areas around the city, including the Bassin de la Villette, by 2017.
You might not guess it looking at the water today, but swimming in the city's lakes and river was a common past-time up until the 60s, even though it was officially banned by the prefecture in 1923. Fears over dirty water as well as an increase in boat traffic saw the hobby become much less popular.
Sunday's event is called La Fluctuat - a reference to the city's motto, 'Fluctuat nec mergitur'.
The French aren't strangers to jumping in the bassin as the video below shows, with people plunging into the water from the bridge during a heatwave last year.

Die Tokyo-Gaikan-Autobahn (jap. , Tōkyō Gaikan jidōshadō, dt. "Außenringautobahn Tokio") ist eine Autobahn in Japan. Sie trägt die Nummer C3. Die Autobahn ist der dritte Ring der Hauptstadt Tokio und derzeit nur eine Nordumgehung, soll aber in Zukunft als ein Dreiviertel-Ring aus der Tōmei-Autobahn bei Setagaya und der Higashi-Kantō-Autobahn bei Ichikawa genutzt werden. Derzeit abgeschlossen sind 34 km der Strecke im Norden von Tokio.

Straßenbeschreibung
Die Autobahn beginnt derzeit am Knoten Oizumi, wo die Kan'etsu-Autobahn beginnt, die nach Niigata läuft. Die Autobahn verläuft anschließend in Richtung Nordosten, verfügt über 2 × 3 Fahrspuren und führt durch zahlreiche Orte. Im weiteren Verlauf wird der Fluss Arakawa gekreuzt und es folgt eine Kreuzung mit der Stadtautobahn Tokio Route 5 und der Route S5. Die Autobahn verfügt über 2 × 2 Fahrspuren und verläuft durch den Süden der Präfektur Saitama. Ein wichtiger Knoten folgt bei Kawaguchi, wo sie die Stadtautobahn Route S1 und die Tōhoku-Autobahn kreuzt. Anschließend führt die Straße durch die Vororte von Tokio bis zur Kreuzung Misato, wo sie die Stadtautobahn Route 6 und die Jōban-Autobahn kreuzt. Die Autobahn verläuft von dort aus bis Matsudo, wo die Autobahn an der Nationalstraße 298 endet.

Geschichte
Bereits im Jahr 1966 wurde beschlossen, die Autobahn zu bauen, jedoch dauerte es bis zum Jahr 1992 bis der erste Abschnitt zwischen dem Knotenpunkt Misato und der Ausfahrt Wako eröffnet wurde. Im Jahr 1993 öffnete die Kreuzung mit der Route 5 der Stadtautobahn. Im Jahr 1994 öffnete der Knoten von Wako zur Kan'etsu-Autobahn. Im Jahr 2005 eröffnete ein Abschnitt bei Misato.

Eröffnungsdaten der Autobahn

Verkehrsaufkommen
Die Autobahn ist verkehrsreich mit einem Verkehrsaufkommen zwischen 75.000 und 86.000 Fahrzeugen pro Tag. Eine Ausnahme stellt der Streckenabschnitt bei Misato dar, an dem es lediglich 32.000 Fahrzeuge pro Tag sind.

Rare Footage of Ruby Seadragon in Its Natural Habitat
Jan 14, 2017 06:31pm EST
Mich Escultura
The Ruby Seadragon (Phyllopteryx dewysea) is a seahorse-like specie of fish that live in different locations off the coast of Western Australia. They live in the deeper waters of the ocean, which is mostly dominated by sponges.
The Ruby Seadragon can grow up to a length of 15cm and its most distinct characteristic is its bright red color and lack of elaborate appendages common to other species. Another less obvious characteristic of the Ruby Seadragon is its curled tail which can't be found in two other seadragon species.
This is what a Ruby Seadragon looks like. Notice how its appendages are less obvious as compared to other seadragon species?
Until its discovery in 2015, scientists have thought that there were only two species of seadragon. That makes the Ruby Seadragon the first seadragon to be discovered in 150 years!
Scientists from the Western Australia Museum and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography were able to collect some data on this rare seadragon between 1919 and 2007, but they have only ever seen their corpses and skeletons and never alive.
According to Scripps researcher Greg Rouse:
"We had very good details on where the fish in 2007 had been found, but very little other information to go on.
"We knew it was like finding a needle in a haystack to go and look for this thing."
So Rouse's team decided in 2016 to send an unmanned vehicle to scour the are where the Ruby Seadragon may be found. It took them four dives to finally capture a video of the elusive seadragon.
Their video was published on the Scripps Oceanography YouTube channel and it shows two specimens feeding and swimming. This shows us an interesting glimpse into how the Ruby Seadragon lives in its natural habitat.

Cats act like they don't need attention, they think they're all independent little beings, but deep down all the fluffiness, they just want to be cuddled and they want their bellies rubbed… but only for about 2 and a half minutes, then you can go away for a minute and return to the belly rubbing activity, then stop after 30 seconds, and then start again for like another 15 seconds. Ugh, so frustrating, we know, we've all been there! But that's just the way they are, that's their nature and we have to respect it and learn how to behave in order to improve our relationship with Mr. Whiskers.
This is all about reading your cats emotions, we understand if you purrefer to fly a jet… just kidding, it's not as hard as we think it is, here's a little guide about tails that we hope you can find useful.
Tail up means happy, it's time to get one of those interactive cat toys and play!
Tail down means he or she might attack, just run away!
Tail tucked between legs means they're scared. Put all the cucumbers away!
Tail up with fur on end it means STAY AWAY, I don't know what you did but your kitty is really upset and they're trying to scare you away.
Tail moving slowly back and forth… nope, it's not the same as dogs, it means your four legged bud is feeling curious, maybe there's a fly on the wall.
Tail moving fast back and forth is another warning sign, it means your cat is very irritated and might act aggressively… just go to your room, do your thing and let them calm down.
Cats are NOT dogs, we still don't seem to understand that fact, they don't want you all over them at all times, let them sleep in peace, let them lay on the floor and don't bother them, they deserve their own "me time".
Try different foods until you find what he or she likes the most, a healthy cat is a happy cat and a happy cat is most likely to love the hoomin that feeds them!
BUT only if they like it! Not all cats are the same, so you better learn to know what your enjoy, but brushing their fluffiness is a nice way to bond with your pet.
Yes, cat can learn tricks too, it takes a lot of time and patience, but in the process you'll get to know your kitty and you'll become best furriends. Remember: PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE!
Cats are all about naps, they love to sleep and a nice beauty nap is going to keep them in a good mood, so you better give them a nice cat house or a good place to rest and maybe when they wake up they'll want a full 5 minute belly rub.
Everyone who's ever had a cat knows they are not easy to deal with, in other words: cats are crazy! And we're crazy about cats, so we better learn how to act around them and how to love them the right way!

Мі́ра ( — дивовижна) — змінна зоря в сузір'ї Кита ( — омікрон Кита), що складається з червоного гіганта Міра А та білого карлика Міра B . Відстань до Міри — 417± 67 св. років. Компоненти перебувають на відстані 70 а. о., орбітальний період — близько 400 років.

Історія

В античних та середньовічних джерелах немає однозначних згадок цієї зірки.
Міра А — пульсуюча змінна зірка, вона має період 332 дні.
У максимумі блиску вона досить помітна (видима зоряна величина в деяких циклах сягає 2m, хоча у середньому становить 3,5m). У мінімумі її світність падає в сотні разів (6m…10m, у середньому — 8m) і вона стає невидимою неозброєним оком.
Зміни яскравості Міри відкрив Давид Фабріціус 1596 року, коли спостерігав падіня блиску від максимуму до невидимості неозброєним оком. 1609 року Байєр вніс цю зірку до свого атласу зоряного неба і позначив як ο-Ceti. Ян Гевелій систематично спостерігав зірку з 1659 до 1682 року і дав їй сучасну назву.
Досить незвичайна поведінка Міри згодом дала назву цілому класу зір із подібними коливаннями блиску — міриди.
В інфрачервоному діапазоні коливання блиску набагато менші і становлять лише близько двох зоряних величин.

Фізичні характеристики

Міра B оточена гарячим акреційним диском речовини, що витікає з гіганту. Вона також є змінною завдяки нерівномірному її надходженню — видима зоряна величина коливається від 9,5m до 12m.

Газопиловий хвіст

2007 року астрономи виявили у зорі велетенський хвіст із пилу й газу — на кшталт тих, що тягнуться за кометами, які наближаються до Сонця. Відкриття було здійснене за допомогою ультрафіолетового орбітального телескопу GALEX, виведеного на орбіту NASA 2003 року. Астрономи були неабияк здивовані: адже Міру вивчають вже протягом 400 років і ніхто не помічав таких особливостей. Втім, пояснюється це досить просто: ніхто не спостерігав її в ультрафіолетовому світлі. Виявлений хвіст має розмір майже 13 світлових років (для порівняння — відстань до найближчої до нас зорі — Проксіми Центавра — становить лише 4 світлових роки).

Згідно з розрахунками, кожні 10 років зоря втрачає масу, що еквівалентна масі Землі. Речовина, що перебуває в кінці хвоста, була викинута приблизно 30 тис. років тому.

Власний рух

Більшість зір Чумацького Шляху обертається навколо центру нашої Галактики приблизно з тією ж швидкістю і в тому ж напрямку, як рухається й міжзоряний газ, однак Міра випадає із загального ряду. Ця зоря рухається крізь галактичну хмару газу із відносною швидкістю 130 км/с. У результаті викиди речовини просто здуває назад, утворюючи унікальну хвостову формацію. На фотографіях телескопа GALEX добре видно велетенське здуття, розташоване перед зорею — це ділянка ударної хвилі. У земних умовах подібні ударні хвилі утворюються перед літаками, що летять із надзвуковою швидкістю, або перед носом швидкісного човна. Там відбувається зіткнення речовини, що викидається зорею, з частками міжзоряного газу. Внаслідок цього речовина розігрівається і її відкидає у напрямку хвоста. Основну частину цієї речовини складають атоми водню. Вони поступово втрачають енергію у вигляді ультрафіолетового випромінювання — його й зафіксував телескоп GALEX.

Credit Counseling Industry • Debt Articles
Attorney Loses Law License Because of Debts. Forced Into CCCS by Court. Plan Fails Miserably.
An attorney in Texas has lost his law license over unpaid debts and student loans. Pretty scary but totally unnecessary and avoidable.
When attorney Frank P. Santulli III first ran into financial troubles in 2001, the Texas Board of Law Examiners ordered Santulli to enter into a debt management plan with Consumer Credit Counseling Service. But in May of 2002 Santulli fell behind on his payments. Another classic example of when a debt management plan is not a good idea. It is not a magic wand that makes every situation better.
Santulli testified that due to family illnesses and changes in his work status, he had fallen behind on his CCCS plan and had not made payments since December 2001; he had arranged for his student loans to be deferred. Although Santulli did not want to file for bankruptcy, he testified that he was "looking into it." Santulli had not yet retained a bankruptcy attorney, but he said he was supposed to meet with one in mid-January 2003.
Eventually Santulli did file for bankruptcy but not until years latter. By then it was too late and the State of Texas felt that the lack of action, within the original time and extended time given, by Santulli was an indication that he "failed to demonstrate that he was a person of good moral character." The Board also determined that Santulli's lack oof action was "indicative of a lack of trustworthiness in carrying out responsibilities, especially given his prior failure to comply with the conditions of his agreed order with the Board."
Basically what happened to Santulli is a classic debtor story. He was in debt and forced to enter into a solution that was never right for him, the credit counseling path. He chose CCCS as a perceived softer solution than bankruptcy and he dragged his feet on discharging his debt with bankruptcy, for whatever reason. He simply became paralyzed into doing nothing and letting his financial condition fester. Doing nothing is never a good idea and in this case the lack of any responsible action lead to more dire consequences, the loss of the license to practice law.
Here is what the court had to say in its finding.
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
Frank P. Santulli, III, Appellant
Texas Board of Law Examiners, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 53RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. D-1-GN-04-000418, HONORABLE LORA J. LIVINGSTON, JUDGE PRESIDING
This appeal arises from a recommendation by appellee the Board of Law Examiners that appellant Frank P. Santulli, III's probationary license to practice law should be revoked. We affirm the trial court's order affirming the Board's recommendation.
On June 22, 2001, the Board approved an agreed order recommending Santulli for a two-year probationary license. Santulli, who was carrying a substantial amount of student loan and personal debt, had already entered into a debt management plan with Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS) and had started making payments under that plan. In the agreed order, the Board required Santulli to make payments under the CCCS plan and in accordance with a student loan debt management program and to provide proof of those payments periodically. (1) Santulli initially met those conditions but by May 2002 had fallen behind on both his student loans and his CCCS plan.
On December 6, 2002, the Board held a hearing to determine whether Santulli's license should be revoked due to his failure to meet the conditions set out in the agreed order. Santulli testified that due to family illnesses and changes in his work status, he had fallen behind on his CCCS plan and had not made payments since December 2001; he had arranged for his student loans to be deferred. Although Santulli did not want to file for bankruptcy, he testified that he was "looking into it." Santulli had not yet retained a bankruptcy attorney, but he said he was supposed to meet with one in mid-January 2003. The Board expressed concern that Santulli could find himself "in a situation where you're in so much debt and under so much pressure that there are opportunities and temptation either to short-shrift your clients or, you know, in the worst case scenario, convert money from your clients to take care of those debts." The Board asked, "[I]f the Board were to see fit to extend your probationary license for another six months, that would in effect give you one year in which to consult with your bankruptcy attorney, consult with business planners and be prepared to present us with a business plan, could you commit to having a comprehensive plan to us before the expiration of that probationary license?" Santulli answered that a six-month extension would be "more than generous." One Board member said, "I don't doubt that you have good intentions and that you have the intent to do these things, but you need a plan. . . . Saying 'I have an intention to pay it' is not going to cut it." Santulli agreed and said he would "[a]bsolutely" decide about whether to file for bankruptcy in mid-January and would let the Board know his decision "[i]n detail."
In an order dated December 12, 2002, the Board granted Santulli a six-month extension with an amended set of conditions, including requiring him to "make suitable arrangements for payment or discharge of all of his past due debts during the term of his probationary license, and [to] detail any such arrangements with each of his periodic questionnaires" ("Condition One"). The Board's order found that Santulli's failure to comply with the payment conditions of the agreed order was "indicative of the character trait of a lack of trustworthiness in carrying out responsibilities" and concluded that there was a clear and rational connection between Santulli's "lack of trustworthiness in carrying out responsibilities . . . and the likelihood that Mr. Santulli would harm a client, obstruct the administration of justice, or violate" the disciplinary rules. The order included a "conditional finding of good moral character and fitness, predicated on Mr. Santulli's faithful compliance with the conditions of this order," but provided that, in the event Santulli's probationary license was revoked due to violations of any of the order's conditions, such revocation would "conclusively establish on the part of Mr. Santulli a lack of trustworthiness in carrying out responsibilities, making it likely that he would injure a client, obstruct the administration of justice, or violate the disciplinary rules of professional conduct." The order placed on Santulli the burden of presenting "evidence addressing . . . any character and/or fitness issues covered in this Order." Santulli did not object to or seek judicial review of the 2002 order.
On December 5, 2003, the Board held another hearing related to Santulli's probationary license. Santulli testified that he had not made any more payments on his debt or filed a petition in bankruptcy. He explained that at the end of February 2003, he had "made arrangements" with a bankruptcy attorney, doing some family-law work in exchange for bankruptcy assistance, but that he learned in August that the attorney had moved out of state. Santulli hired another attorney sometime in October, and Santulli and his new attorney had decided to proceed with a bankruptcy petition. Santulli believed the bankruptcy petition would be filed within 30 days. He asked the Board to give him another month to file for bankruptcy, explaining that he had recently been hired to lead a family-law section of a law firm and that he would restart making payments on his student loans at the end of December 2003.
On December 11, 2003, the Board issued an order finding that Santulli had violated Condition One of his probationary license by failing to make suitable arrangements to pay or discharge of all of his past due debts. The Board determined that Santulli's failure in this regard indicated a lack of financial responsibility, trustworthiness, and the good moral character required for bar admission. The Board concluded that there was a clear and rational connection between Santulli's lack of financial responsibility and the likelihood that he would harm a client, obstruct the administration of justice, or violate a provision of the disciplinary rules and recommended that Santulli's probationary license be revoked. See Tex. R. Govern. Bar Adm'n XVI(g)(2)(B) (West Supp. 2008) (after hearing, "upon a finding that a condition of the Probationary License has been violated," Board may recommend termination or revocation of probationary license). (2)
READ Lawyers Screwed by Deceptive Hiring Rates While Hooked and Buried in Student Loan Debt
Santulli sought judicial review of the Board's 2003 order. The trial court considered the administrative record and affirmed the Board's decision, finding that the order was supported by substantial evidence. On appeal, Santulli complains that the Board's order was not supported by substantial evidence, that Condition One was arbitrary or capricious because it was not supported by substantial evidence, and that the Board erred in finding that Santulli lacks the good moral character required for bar admission. We affirm the trial court's order.
An applicant for bar admission is entitled to judicial review of a negative character determination by the Board. See id. R. XV(k) (West Supp. 2008); Board of Law Exam'rs v. Coulson, 48 S.W.3d 841, 844 (Tex. App.–Austin 2001, pet. denied). The Board's decision is reviewed under a "substantial evidence" standard, and the reviewing court may either affirm the determination if it is "reasonably supported by substantial evidence" or remand the matter to the Board. Tex. R. Govern. Bar Adm'n XV(k)(5); Coulson, 48 S.W.3d at 844. An applicant complaining of the Board's decision has the burden of showing a lack of substantial evidence. Unglaub v. Board of Law Exam'rs, 979 S.W.2d 842, 845 (Tex. App.–Austin 1998, pet denied.).
When reviewing a decision for substantial evidence, the test "is whether the evidence as a whole is such that reasonable minds could have reached the conclusion that the agency must have reached in order to justify its action." Texas State Bd. of Dental Exam'rs v. Sizemore, 759 S.W.2d 114, 116 (Tex. 1988). We consider only the record on which the Board relied in reaching its decision and will not substitute our judgment for that of the Board. Coulson, 48 S.W.3d at 844. Our review requires that there be more than a mere scintilla of evidence, but the evidence "may actually preponderate against the decision" of the Board and still amount to substantial evidence. Id. We are concerned with the reasonableness of the Board's order, not its correctness. See State v. Public Util. Comm'n, 883 S.W.2d 190, 203 (Tex. 1994). "If reasonable minds could have reached the conclusion that the Board reached on the record presented, then we must uphold its decision." Board of Law Exam'rs v. Stevens, 868 S.W.2d 773, 778 (Tex. 1994).
Santulli asserts that (1) the trial court erred in determining that the Board's order was supported by substantial evidence, (2) Condition One was arbitrary or capricious and not supported by substantial evidence, (3) and (3) the Board erred in determining that Santulli lacked good moral character. Santulli's complaints are based largely on his claim that the term "suitable arrangements" in Condition One is ambiguous and unenforceable because the order does not specify "what suitable arrangements would be acceptable." Santulli also argues that "the Board never stated a deadline for the suitable arrangements to be concluded." He goes on to argue that even aside from those failings, the record is clear that he "made arrangements to comply with the conditions of his probationary license." We first address Santulli's complaints related to Condition One.
Santulli did not complain of or seek judicial review of the 2002 order that imposed Condition One. See Tex. R. Govern. Bar Adm'n XV(k)(1) (applicant must institute proceedings for judicial review of Board decisions within sixty days after decision is mailed to applicant). Further, Santulli did not assert before the trial court that the condition was ambiguous. Thus, he may not attack the 2002 order in this suit for review of the 2003 order.
Further, we disagree that the term "suitable arrangements" was ambiguous as used in the order. The testimony from the 2002 hearing, where the Board granted Santulli a "more than generous" six-month extension, established what the parties understood "suitable arrangements" to mean. The Board told Santulli that it wanted a "comprehensive plan" regarding the payment or discharge of his debt and that having the intention to pay or manage his debt would not suffice. The panel wanted Santulli to "account for this debt in such a way that we can be assured that you're not a danger to the public," and it told Santulli that merely hiring an attorney to explore bankruptcy options did not and would not satisfy its concerns. Santulli expressed no confusion about what the Board required of him and never complained that the condition was ambiguous until this appeal. We overrule Santulli's complaints related to Condition One's asserted ambiguities. (4)
We next consider whether Santulli has met his burden of showing that the order is not supported by substantial evidence, starting with whether the evidence supports a finding that Santulli failed to make suitable arrangements to pay or discharge his debts.
In December 2002, the Board questioned Santulli about his finances and what he planned to do about his debt load. He was told in no uncertain terms that he had one year to take action toward managing his debt and that merely intending to discharge his debts was not enough. A year later, Santulli had done nothing toward discharging or paying his debts other than having secured a new bankruptcy attorney in October 2003. Although Santulli made arrangements with an attorney in late February or early March 2003, he did not attempt to contact the attorney until June or July. He learned in August or September that the attorney had moved out of state, did not hire another lawyer until October, and by December, had not filed for bankruptcy, although he testified that he intended to do so in the next month. Santulli was cautioned in 2002 that good intentions were not enough and that he would have to show progress toward discharging his debts, but he was in essentially the same position a year later, despite the Board's cautions and a six-month extension.
Santulli argues that the evidence "clearly shows that Appellant had made arrangements to comply with" Condition One, pointing to evidence included in his brief's appendix showing that he had been released of all dischargeable debts through a bankruptcy proceeding. However, that evidence was not before the Board and, therefore, we may not consider it. See id. (trial court shall "determine from the certified record on file whether or not the Board's decision is reasonably supported by substantial evidence"). We have already held that the Board's order was not improperly vague, and the evidence shows that two and one-half years after being given a probationary license conditioned in part on paying or discharging his debts and one year after being given an extension and being told what would be necessary to satisfy the Board's concerns, Santulli had not made any progress with regard to his debts other than to develop a more concrete intention to file for bankruptcy within a month. We hold that substantial evidence supports the Board's finding that Santulli violated the conditions of his probationary license. (5)
In his third issue, Santulli attacks the Board's finding that he lacks the good moral character requisite for bar admission, asserting that the Board failed to prove a clear and rational connection between Santulli's character traits and the possibility that a client might be injured or that justice might be obstructed. He argues that the Board should have proved that it followed certain mandates he argues were set out in Konigsberg v. State Bar of California, 353 U.S. 252 (1957).
In Konigsberg, the California Bar rejected a bar application in part because the applicant "failed to demonstrate that he was a person of good moral character." Id. at 259. The Court reviewed the record and the California Bar's arguments and held that "there is no evidence in the record which rationally justifies a finding that Konigsberg failed to establish his good moral character." Id. at 273. We do not read Konigsberg as requiring the Board to prove that it conducted a specific four-prong test, as asserted by Santulli. (6) Instead, we read the opinion to require that there be a rational basis for the Board's order, supported by "some authentic reliable evidence." See id. Thus, the Board's order satisfies Konigsberg if it is supported by reliable evidence such that "a reasonable man could fairly find that there were substantial doubts about [Santulli's] 'honesty, fairness and respect for the rights of others and for the laws of the state and nation.'" See id. at 264; see also Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 82.028(c)(1) (West 2005) (Board may not recommend license denial unless it finds "clear and rational connection between a character trait of the applicant and the likelihood that the applicant would injure a client or obstruct the administration of justice").

In its 2003 order, the Board found that Santulli's violation of his amended probationary license was "indicative of a lack of trustworthiness in carrying out responsibilities, especially given his prior failure to comply with the conditions of his agreed order with the Board," and concluded that there was "a clear and rational connection between Mr. Santulli's lack of trustworthiness in carrying out responsibilities, as evidenced by his failure to comply with condition 1 of his probationary license as amended, . . . and the likelihood that he would harm a client, obstruct the administration of justice, or violate the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct," and that his "failure to comply with condition 1 of his probationary license as amended is indicative of a lack of the good moral character required for admission." We must give appropriate deference to the Board's determination of whether there is a clear and rational connection between Santulli's financial irresponsibility and failure to meet his obligations under previous Board orders and the substantial possibility of harm to future clients or the obstruction of justice and must affirm if there is substantial evidence supporting the Board's decision. See Stevens, 868 S.W.2d at 776, 778 (Board has "considerable discretion" in applying admission standards).
The supreme court has held that the ethical standards required for admission to the Texas Bar demand more than "an absence of convictions involving serious crimes and crimes of moral turpitude" or the "mere absence of gross misbehavior." Id. at 776. Instead, the Board must affirmatively determine that an applicant has the good moral character and is fit to practice law. Id.; see Tex. R. Govern. Bar Adm'n IV(a) (West Supp. 2008). Under the rules governing admission to the Texas Bar, "[g]ood moral character is a functional assessment of character and fitness of a prospective lawyer," and the purpose of requiring present good moral character is to exclude from bar admission persons with character traits that "are likely to result in injury to future clients, in the obstruction of the administration of justice, or in a violation" of the rules of professional conduct. Tex. R. Govern. Bar Adm'n IV(b). "These character traits usually involve either dishonesty or lack of trustworthiness in carrying out responsibilities." Id. The supreme court has held that evidence of a "longstanding lack of financial responsibility" may be, on a case-by-case basis, "substantial evidence that [an applicant] suffers from a 'persistent inability to discharge, or unreliability in carrying out, significant obligations.'" Stevens, 868 S.W.2d at 781 (quoting Tex. Disciplinary R. Prof'l Conduct Terminology, reprinted in Tex. Gov't Code Ann., tit. 2, subtit. G, app. A, art. X, § 9 (West 2005) (defining "fitness")). "[T]here is a 'clear and rational connection' between . . . financial irresponsibility on the one hand, and 'the likelihood that [an] applicant would injure a client,' on the other." Id. (quoting Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 82.028(c)(1)).
The 2003 hearing was held more than two years after Santulli agreed to the original order that required him to make payments under his CCCS and student loan debt-management plans. At the time of the hearing, Santulli could do no more than tell the Board that he planned to file for bankruptcy in the next month, which is essentially the same thing he told the Board a year earlier, during the 2002 hearing. In the intervening year, Santulli had not made any payments or made any arrangements to pay or discharge his debts; he "made arrangements" with one lawyer, whom he attempted to contact months later only to discover the attorney had moved away; and he testified that he had hired another attorney one to two months before the hearing but had not yet drawn up a petition or filed for bankruptcy. Santulli did not bring any documentation to the hearing showing that he was in the midst of filing or even preparing to file for bankruptcy, nor did he bring a contract or other proof that he had actually hired the second attorney or that the attorney was in the process of filing for bankruptcy on Santulli's behalf. We agree with the trial court that substantial evidence supported the Board's determination that there is a clear and rational connection between Santulli's lack of trustworthiness or reliability in carrying out responsibilities and the likelihood that he will harm a client, obstruct the administration of justice, or violate the disciplinary rules. (7) See id.; see also Tex. R. Govern. Bar Adm'n IV(b). We overrule Santulli's third point of error.
We recognize the serious consequences likely to befall Santulli due to the Board's order. However, we are limited in our consideration of this case to the record that was before the Board when it made its decision and cannot consider evidence that Santulli has since finalized a bankruptcy judgment, nor may we substitute our judgment for that of the Board. Substantial evidence supports the Board's findings that Santulli failed to comply with Condition One and that his failure to comply with that condition indicates a lack of trustworthiness in carrying out responsibilities. We affirm the order of the trial court affirming the Board's decision.
David Puryear, Justice
Before Chief Justice Jones, Justices Puryear and Henson
1. Although the 2001 agreed order is attached as an exhibit to Santulli's brief, it does not appear in the record. Santulli testified in December 2002 that the original order required him to make payments on his student loans and under his CCCS debt management plan.
2. For convenience, we will cite to the current rules unless they have materially changed.
3. As part of this issue, Santulli argues that the Board made an "impulsive presumption that denies Santulli his Constitutional right to Liberty and the pursuit of the profession of his choice in direct violation of Santulli's Due Process rights." However, Santulli did not raise his "impulsive presumption" complaint before the trial court, nor does he provide argument explaining this claim. See Tex. R. App. P. 33.1(a), 38.1(h). Thus, Santulli has not preserved this complaint for our review.
4. We also reject Santulli's claim that the Board did not set a deadline by which the condition was to be satisfied. The 2002 order states, "Mr. Santulli shall make suitable arrangements for payment or discharge of all of his past due debts during the term of his probationary license." Thus, the deadline was six months after the original license-expiration date.
5. Santulli also asserts that the order was arbitrary and capricious. In narrowly defined circumstances, an agency decision supported by substantial evidence may be invalid because it is arbitrary. See Texas Health Facilities Comm'n v. Charter Med.-Dallas, Inc., 665 S.W.2d 446, 454 (Tex. 1984); Lewis v. Metropolitan Sav. & Loan Ass'n, 550 S.W.2d 11, 16 (Tex. 1977); Texas State Bd. of Dental Exam'rs v. Silagi, 766 S.W.2d 280, 285 (Tex. App.–El Paso 1989, writ denied) (op. on reh'g). However, "the finding of an act, which is supported by substantial evidence, to be arbitrary and capricious must be based on a violation of due process or some other unfair or unreasonable conduct that shocks the conscience." Silagi, 766 S.W.2d at 285. There is no due process violation here, nor does the record reflect unreasonable conduct that shocks the conscience.
6. Santulli argues that the Board must "prove that its denial is based upon:
1. Authentic evidence;
2. Reliable evidence;
3. Applicant's unlawful or immoral actions; and
4. Applicant's unlawful or immoral actions reflect adversely on Applicant."
7. We note that the 2002 order, which Santulli did not appeal, included the following language: "IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any such revocation based on [Santulli's] failure to abide by the conditions of this order shall conclusively establish . . . a lack of trustworthiness in carrying out responsibilities, making it likely that he would injure a client, obstruct the administration of justice, or violate" the rules of professional conduct.

For the development of the Danube River Basin Management Plan of 2009, the ICPDR offered several possibilities to stakeholders to contribute to the development of this important work program.
Public participation extends to all water users, to non-governmental organisations, such as local and national environmental groups, and to other stakeholders. Key organisations and citizens' groups likely to be affected by the plan need to be involved. Many stakeholders submitted comments on the draft Danube River Basin Management Plan, which were carefully screened and integrated as far as possible into the final plan.
To ensure that the public consultation process is as transparent as possible, the ICPDR developed a "Response Paper", which summarises all comments received and provides information on how the comments have been tackled. The Danube River Basin Management Plan was a key element of ICPDR Ministerial Meeting in Vienna on 16 February 2010. Below, you find the documentation of public consultation efforts accompanying its development.
On occasion of Danube Day 2009, the ICPDR in cooperation with GWP CEE and funding from the European Commission invited stakeholders from all ICPDR countries to participate in the second basin-wide stakeholder forum. This forum was held in the Slovak capital Bratislava.
The forum aimed to bring stakeholder groups together and serve as a platform for the discussion of the draft Danube River Basin Management Plan. Below, you find agenda, all presentations and the closing report of the Stakeholder Forum.

How to change the Mac address of my Windows PC - Mac address
Since computers were created about half a century, they were quite primitive, but now they are completely different from what they were in those days, as today our computers are capable of perform all kinds of tasks, focused on executing general complex processes to help us with any type of task.
This would not be possible without the knowledge of man, as he put his knowledge into practice by creating electronic components, components that would then be adapted to the computer hardware, making them much more comfortable in size, in addition to this, also the invention of software, these would be the foundations that have made our computers with Windows and Mac Os systems exist today.
How to use Technitium Mac Address Changer to make the change
The most relevant thing we should know is that this is a program just for doing this MAC change and that you enter its advantages: it is totally free. Likewise, the first thing we need to do is look for it and make it work.
So what we need to do is choose our network from a list and this program will automatically show you the information about your network. Therefore to change the MAC we have to give the Change MAC Address option; and by making this choice, you have the opportunity yourself to generate a character string or enter a new address.
Best of all, the program is harmless and your card will show no harm in any way. Your system relies on looking for a matching MAC address for an entry and voila.
What happens if I change my computer's Mac address?
What happens is that you deceive the communication network, because the MAC address is your communication identification but it is not a serious matter. In other words, the moment you change the MAC address, you are modifying the software, but it doesn't involve any risk.
Read How Can I Add Friends or People to Snapchat - Very Easy
For this reason it is recommended, before modifying the MAC, to make a note of the MAC used previously before making the change. Because in some presented inconvenience, simply after using it you can reset and ready everything will be in order.
Where can I see the Mac address of my PC?
The first thing we should know is that the MAC address that exists in our computer performs a function which is to act as a unique identifier for a network device, although it is also known to be a physical address within the world of the internet, despite this being unique, it is editable, either to enter a game in which we have been banned or for other possibilities, in this way we can change it below:
The first step to follow to change our MAC address is to know which one we currently have, located in the network card, to find out with the command box that we can see it. With the Windows key plus the R key we can open a window called run, in this window we will write CMD, when we press enter a small black window will open, this is the CMD.
Changing the MAC address of our PC can be a good option depending on the situation, as we told you before if you have been banned from a game, for example, if you change the MAC address we can re-enter it.
Also if we want browse places where there is not so much security we can change this address or simply if you were connected to a public Wi-Fi network and you no longer have internet, you can have a connection again if you change the MAC address.
Read How to customize Windows 10 START MENU in a few steps (example) - See how it's done
This operating system is part of the Microsoft company, this system started as a primitive but innovative phase in 1985 as Windows NT 1.0, which over the years would be improved, it was up to Windows 3.0 where this system began to be successful in the world and would finished consolidating until 1995 when Windows 95 came out, a version of the system that changed everything.
Undoubtedly it was around this time that Windows reached an incredible point in the history of computers, hence they have continued to evolve, releasing version after version, until reaching the most well-known versions such as Windows XP, Windows Vista and today where mainly Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 systems are used.
Each of these current systems has an interface of intuitive system, which is quite pleasant and accepted by users, with this system it is possible to perform functions with both system programs and third party programs, use programs such as the voice recorder, encrypt folders and files or even modify technical sections, such as the address IP or MAC address of our pc.
How to change the MAC address in Windows?
The first step is to identify and find the MAC address we currently have as explained above and also open the window that has been indicated to us.
Once inside the CMD we will write the command "getmac" e the our current MAC address.
After seeing and writing down our current MAC address in case we want to put it back, we need to go in Device management, this we can look for in the Windows start menu.
We will deploy Device Manager until we see the option Network cards.
If we show this option we will also see the network cards which will be connected to our computer.
We select the one we want to change the MAC address and right click and go up Property.
Within Properties we will go to the advanced options, in these we find the MAC address.
Here we can see a text window, where we will have to write a code preferably alphanumeric, this code must be written number after number followed, without separators, if we did it with separated ones like periods or hyphens, we could cause an unidentified network error in our Windows system.
We will confirm and the window will will close , close the Device Manager and restart our computer.

Change Mac address with external apps
In addition to Technitium Mac Address, there are other external applications that you can access to make these changes. For example, Virtual Adapters, with this we will have a larger view and we will aim to select a desired network adapter and like the other program you can also add a random address.
There is also another application called Spoof-Me-Now, which will also be of great help when you change your MAC address and, above all, it requires no installation . It is a simple interface and through which it is possible to have wide access to the network adapters, we will also select the new address and generate the change we want.
Finally, there is NoVirusThanks MAC Addres Changer which has among its features the power to activate a Virtual Adapter box for greater range . All the above mentioned applications have the same task, you just need to log in to get your MAC changed.

Q: Is it considered normal that -nostdlib does not prevent GCC/Clang to generate calls to C standard library functions? From man gcc:
-nostdlib
  Do not use the standard system startup files or libraries when linking.

Here we see "when linking". Meaning that -nostdlib does not prevent GCC to generate calls to C standard library functions.
Let's check:
$ cat t35.c
#define SIZE 4096
char b[SIZE];
void _start(void)
{
  char *p = b;
  int i = SIZE;
  while(i > 0)
  {
    *p = 12;
    ++p;
    --i;
  }
}

$ arm-none-eabi-gcc t35.c -nostdlib -O2
ld.exe: cco83lvm.o: in function `_start':
t35.c:(.text+0x10): undefined reference to `memset'

Here we see that ld requires memset (because GCC generated memset). Hence, the user needs to provide memset despite the fact that there is no memset in the user's program. For the user it may be confusing.
The same story for Clang: https://godbolt.org/z/jEz77fnf3.
The overall question is simple: is it considered normal that -nostdlib does not prevent GCC/Clang to generate calls to C standard library functions?\

UPD. To prevent generation of certain C standard library functions there is a -ffreestanding option:

Assert that compilation targets a freestanding environment.  This implies
-fno-builtin.  A freestanding environment is one in which the standard library may not exist, and
program startup may not necessarily be at "main".  The most obvious example is an OS kernel.  This is equivalent to -fno-hosted.

Demo:
$ arm-none-eabi-gcc t35.c -nostdlib -O2 -ffreestanding
<nothing> (expected)

A:
Is it considered normal that -nostdlib does not prevent GCC/Clang to generate calls to C standard library functions?

Yes. The option is about linking and startup files, not about optimizations. When you use -nostdlib, you typically provide and link with your own implementation of memset.

A: Yes, this is documented.  memset and a few others are a special case.
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-12.2.0/gcc/Standards.html#Standards

Most of the compiler support routines used by GCC are present in libgcc, but there are a few exceptions. GCC requires the freestanding environment provide memcpy, memmove, memset and memcmp. Finally, if __builtin_trap is used, and the target does not implement the trap pattern, then GCC emits a call to abort.

It has been over 2 hours since I got back to my flat, but I am still freezing cold.
I spent the evening watching Bath City beat Newport County in the Setanta Shield. This is normally a mediocre cup, but due to failings in other competitions this season, it has taken more significance. Therefore, I was pleased when City thrashed Newport 4-1.
Anything less than this rout would have made the whole evening a total waste of my time. It was bitterly cold and there were moments I wished I had stayed at home with beer and crisps, watching footy on TV. Instead, I was stood at Twerton Park, in Arctic-like conditions, without even a hot drink (the tea bar was closed).
I may still be cold, but I am happy with the result.
Something very strange happened to me this morning.
While getting ready to leave for work, I noticed a woman sitting, wearing a dressing gown, on the next door neighbours shed. She then jumped off the shed (which must have been 7 foot high), into the ground floor flat's garden, wandered around, before attempting to get back into, what I assume to be, her own garden.
I really didn't know what to do. Should I have phoned the police? There was no chance of her breaking into the ground floor flat and certainly not into mine on the first floor. I don't think calling 999 would have been appreciated by my apparent neighbour, or necessary – she didn't appear to be dangerous or hurt.
She just looked like she was high on drugs and reminded me of Amy Winehouse. I have never seen her before and don't really know where she lives – there are many flats on my road, which change ownership on a frequent basis.
All very freaky. I hope she was OK, but wish I never have to see her or anything like that again!
Due to the way my site is published through the Blogger system, it isn't simply a case of removing this line from the HTML code.
As I pay for my own hosting and wrote the majority of the template myself, I think it's a bit of a cheek of them to do this – especially without informing me.
I therefore need to find a clever bit of code that I can stick in my template, which will remove that stupid B and replace it with the star icon I used to have!
Why is it that my well-loved clubs, Bath City and Leeds United, never manage to both win on the same day? This season, I am yet to have the joys of celebrating a duo of football victories.
Take today for example. Bath City are playing St. Albans. 1-0 up at half time and cruising. I check the score from Leeds to find they are drawing 0-0 with Walsall.
Shortly into the second half of the City game, I check the Leeds score. To my joy, I see Leeds are wining 1-0. Within minutes of learning this news, St. Albans equalise. I then hear that Leeds are 2-0 up; only to see Bath totally lose the plot and concede a second goal, winning the game for St. Albans.
Something strange is going on….
Yes, I am aware that both my teams won on 27th September and 21st October BUT on both these dates, Bath City were playing in the FA and Somerset Cup; therefore I believe my theory only applies when both teams are playing league games.
All the VoIP phones went down. Part of the patient administration system broke. Karl was off sick, and contractors turned the office into a building site, by bashing down a large chunk of wall – it was horrendously noisy. They are far from finished.

89-Year-Old Clint Eastwood's Net Worth
December 17, 2019 By Amanda Blankenship Leave a Comment
His name has been a huge presence in Hollywood for decades. He's directed and acted in dozens of films over the past few decades. Now, he has had his hand in an entirely new project – a motion picture about himself. What has all of the steady work over the years done for Clint Eastwood's net worth?
About Clint Eastwood
Eastwood was born on May 31, 1930, in San Francisco. He did not grow up poor. On the contrary, the Eastwoods actually had a swimming pool, two cars, and belonged to a country club. As a student, Eastwood did not excel. In fact, his school records show he had to attend summer school. After high school, he enrolled in the United States Army. He fought during the Korean War.
His first big success in his acting career was when he landed his role in Rawhide in 1954. The film initially earned him criticisms about the way he acted on camera. People pointed out the way he spoke through his teeth and had an overall stuff manner on camera. Eventually, both these things became trademark Eastwood characteristics.
After that role, he began gaining attention for other roles, including a trilogy of spaghetti Westerns in the 1960s. Then, throughout the 1970s and 1980s, he became Dirty Harry. Each of these roles made Eastwood into the cultural icon he is today. While many of his memorable roles date back to the 1970s and 1980s, Eastwood's career has been far from stale.
The 1990s to Present
Throughout the 90s and early 2000s, Eastwood performed in films that earned him some of his first Academy Awards. He received nominations for Best Actor and won awards for Best Director (1992) and Best Picture (2004). Much of his directing work has gotten attention in more recent years as well.
In addition to starring in many films, Eastwood has directed some hit motion pictures as well, one of them being the mystery-drama Mystic River (2003). He also directed Letters from Iwo Jima (2006), Changeling (2008), Invictus (2009), and American Sniper (2014). Each of these films earned him nominations for several awards as well as broke box-office records.
In addition to his work in the U.S., he has also received praise for a number of his films in Europe. Eastwood has actually been awarded two of the highest honors in France: the Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres (1994) and the Legion of Honour medal (2007). In 2000, he was awarded the Italian Venice Film Festival Golden Lion for lifetime achievement. These achievements only begin to graze the success Eastwood has experienced throughout his career.
Not unlike many other Hollywood stars, Eastwood has had his share of failed relationships, both serious and casual, which has led to whispers of scandal. After proposing to Maggie Johnson in 1953, he had an affair that resulted in a child that was later given up for adoption. While married to her, he had a number of other affairs as well, including one 14-year-long affair with Roxanne Tunis, who he had a daughter with.
It has been reported that Johnson tolerated Eastwood's actions. The couple had two children together and eventually divorced. In 1975, actress Sondra Locke and Eastwood began shacking up with each other. Unlike Johnson, Locke was not pleased when she learned about Eastwood's indiscretions. During their relationship, he had two children with a flight attendant. Locke filed a palimony lawsuit when they separated in 1989. In the 1990s, he had a number of other relationships resulting in more children. He got married for the second time in 1996 to news anchor Dina Ruiz. The marriage lasted until 2013.
Clint Eastwood's Net Worth: $375 Million
With decades of work under his belt, Clint Eastwood's net worth has reached an astounding $375 million. Considering he started out making $700 a week for his role on Rawhide, that is amazing! Here is how much Eastwood has earned over the years…
1964: $15,000: Eastwood's salary received for the appearance in Per un pugno di dollari
1965: $50,000: Salary received for the appearance in Per un pugno di dollari
1966: $250,000: Amount received for the appearance in Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo
1967: $20,000: Salary received for his appearance in Le streghe
1968: $750,000: Amount earned for his appearance in Where Eagles Dare
1968: $400,000: Salary received for Hang 'Em High
1969: $500,000: Salary received for appearance in Paint Your Wagon
1978: $12 million: Amount received for Every Which Way But Loose
1984: $5 million: Salary received for his appearance in City Heat
1993: $7 million: Salary received for the appearance in In the Line of Fire
Assets, Endorsements, Investments
Although Eastwood has had eight children and a few failed relationships, he doesn't have to pay out any money in alimony or child support. Now, all of his children are fully grown and don't qualify for monthly child support payments. Neither of his marriages resulted in him paying alimony either, so he lucked out in that respect.
A portion of the actor's overall net worth stems from the assets he owns. Eastwood owns a $9.75 million mansion in Pebble Beach that contributes to his wealth. He also owns an all-electric Fiat 500e, an Austin Healy, and a Ferrari 365. Eastwood has also hung on to his favorite car, his 1992 GMC Typhoon, that has skyrocketed in value over the years because of its limited production numbers.
In addition to his assets, Eastwood has also earned some money through endorsements. The main endorsement you may have seen his face behind is that of Chrysler. He has also helped with campaigns for the Red Cross, AIDS/HIV research, and other causes.
Next year, Eastwood will celebrate his 90th birthday. That doesn't mean he will be slowing down any time soon though. With his latest movie debuting on the big screen last week, it is safe to say Eastwood will continue working (and earning) until he can no longer.

Our tiling centre is not just for those new to the industry, it also has facilities and courses available to existing tillers who need to gain extra skills or who may come across a job that they have previously not encountered.
Victorian effect tiled areas are not the choice of every individual but in some areas there are original floors to be found and in other areas, replica Victorian floors are the preferred covering. Either way, there is a call for Tilers to be able to lay a Victorian themed floor or to be able to restore an existing and very old floor. Able Skills has devised this Victorian Tiling and Restoration course for tilers who would like to be able to specialise in this area and offer this service as part of their portfolio of work.
Mosaic tiling can add a new, modern and vibrant look to a home. There are a wide range of types, sizes and finishes available, something to suit everyone. This intricate tiling system can produce a beautiful finish once you have learned all of the techniques associated with Mosaic tiling. Tiling Options Both the Victorian and Mosaic tiling courses are better suited to individuals who have a tiling background or to those of you who have attended other tiling courses at Able Skills.
We will explain all areas including floor levelling, tile cutting and how to select the right tiles to gain that Victorian effect for your specific area.
You can just choose to do 1 aspect of this week. Maybe just 3 days for the Victorian Tiling course or just the 2 days for the Mosaic Tiling.

Today, one of the biggest trends driving the digital marketing world is responsive design. When a company's content doesn't perform well on a given device or browser system, the business behind it loses traffic and suffers decreased conversions as a result.

Going into network marketing? Understand that if you're not close to the top of the food chain there, your ability to generate any serious amount of income will be limited. Be wary of the hype and the sales pitches that get you thinking that it's going to work the other way. Simply understand that you're going to have to work hard no matter what you pick to do. Email marketing? Sure. You can do that. But you'll need a massive and very targeted list to make any dent.
Companies often use email marketing to re-engage past customers, but a "Where'd You Go? Want To Buy This?" message can come across as aggressive, and you want to be careful with your wording to cultivate a long-term email subscriber. This is why JetBlue's one year re-engagement email works so well -- it uses humor to convey a sense of friendliness and fun, while simultaneously reminding an old email subscriber they might want to check out some of JetBlue's new flight deals.

Search engines are smart, but they still need help. The major engines are always working to improve their technology to crawl the web more deeply and return better results to users. However, there is a limit to how search engines can operate. Whereas the right SEO can net you thousands of visitors and increased attention, the wrong moves can hide or bury your site deep in the search results where visibility is minimal.
The next step? How will you communicate with people. Sharpe says that you need to decide on this early on. Will you blog? Will you use social media? Will you build a list by working with solo ad providers? Will you place paid advertisements? What will you do and how will you do it? What you must realize here is that you have to get really good at copy writing. The better you get at copy writing, the more success you'll find as an internet marketer.

Internet usage around the world, especially in the wealthiest countries, has steadily risen over the past decade and it shows no signs of slowing. According to a report by the Internet trend investment firm Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers, 245 million people in the United States were online as of 2011, and 15 million people connected for the first time that year. As Internet usage grows, online commerce grows with it. This means that more people are using the Internet with each passing year, and enough of them are spending money online to impact the economy in significant ways. (See also E-Commerce Marketing)
Trust is the foundation of conversions and sales. But building trust should be a goal on its own. The whole concept of content marketing is based on trust and creating long-term relationships.

It is very rare for an individual to enter a management role early in his or her career. Most marketing managers have spent several years working somewhere else on a marketing team. This assumes the existence of at least a bachelor's degree, but an advanced degree such as a master's in marketing or business administration can give an aspiring manager a deciding edge.

Search queries—the words that users type into the search box—carry extraordinary value. Experience has shown that search engine traffic can make (or break) an organization's success. Targeted traffic to a website can provide publicity, revenue, and exposure like no other channel of marketing. Investing in SEO can have an exceptional rate of return compared to other types of marketing and promotion.
In 1998, two graduate students at Stanford University, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, developed "Backrub", a search engine that relied on a mathematical algorithm to rate the prominence of web pages. The number calculated by the algorithm, PageRank, is a function of the quantity and strength of inbound links.[21] PageRank estimates the likelihood that a given page will be reached by a web user who randomly surfs the web, and follows links from one page to another. In effect, this means that some links are stronger than others, as a higher PageRank page is more likely to be reached by the random web surfer.
"Google Ads is a robust platform that provides extensive data on keyword volume, budget management, and performance of ad campaigns," said Sara Desmond, vice president of operations for Page 1 Solutions, an online marketing company in Lakewood, Colo. "Savvy marketers and advertisers spend the majority of their PPC budgets where consumers are going to search."
Another illicit practice is to place "doorway" pages loaded with keywords on the client's site somewhere. The SEO promises this will make the page more relevant for more queries. This is inherently false since individual pages are rarely relevant for a wide range of keywords. More insidious, however, is that these doorway pages often contain hidden links to the SEO's other clients as well. Such doorway pages drain away the link popularity of a site and route it to the SEO and its other clients, which may include sites with unsavory or illegal content.
We have a saying that "good data" is better than "big data." Bid data is a term being thrown around a lot these days because brands and agencies alike now have the technology to collect more data and intelligence than ever before. But what does that mean for growing a business. Data is worthless without the data scientists analyzing it and creating actionable insights. We help our client partners sift through the data to gleam what matters most and what will aid them in attaining their goals.

Ancient human fossils find modern virtual home
First discovered 150 years ago, Neanderthals have been studied more widely than any other form of human. Thanks to a new interactive inventory and online catalogue developed in Europe, scientists worldwide can now probe the secrets of this primitive relative from the comfort of their computer.
Neanderthal humans (Homo neanderthalensis) was once common throughout Europe, but died out some 30,000 years ago. Since the discovery of Neanderthal remains in Düsseldorf, Germany in 1856, archaeologists have unearthed its fossils at dozens of different excavation sites, including those in Croatia, Belgium, France and Germany. "These extensive finds explain why most of the scientific analysis of human evolution has been done on Neanderthals," says Heinz Cordes, coordinator of the IST project TNT, which stands for The Neanderthal Tools. After 24 months of work, the project partners have set up the world's leading scientific network on Neanderthal research. Called the Neanderthal Studies Professional Online Service (NESPOS), it contains an impressive and growing collection of texts and digitised Neanderthal remains such as skulls, teeth and tools. "Our database now includes 60 per cent of the major excavation sites, 800 human fossil items from 35 archaeological sites and 200 specimens provided by third parties cooperating with the project," says Cordes of TNT's core application. The recently created NESPOS Society is taking over all of the project results and will run the project-developed software and offer it to others. All scientists joining NESPOS can use this professional Wiki-based collaboration platform that allows users to add and edit content collectively. Students and universities are offered free access, though only members of the society can visit every part of the platform. Before the project started, the partners had to convince scientists and museum curators to share all their knowledge of Neanderthals. Once this was done and formats for the database were agreed, digitisation could begin. This meant scanning artefacts at the highest resolution possible, using portable devices and CT (computerised tomography) machines of the kind found in hospitals. "For example, some 300 pieces were scanned at the famous Croatian excavation site in Krapina. This was done at high resolution in STL and X3D [format] for the polygonal scans, as well as DICOM, TIFF and PNG [format ] for the CT scans," says Cordes. The partners then created virtual-archaeology software tailored for Neanderthal scientists. VISICORE, as it is known, is separate from the database. The suite allows users to visualise and analyse the scans in numerous ways, in both two and three dimensions. "With our software, the sliced images created by the CT scanner can be twisted and turned in any direction on screen," says Cordes. Scientists may explore bones and other artefacts in tremendous detail, paving the way for new discoveries – yet without touching or damaging the original items. "VISICORE could also interest scientists outside of the Neanderthal community," notes Cordes. "The NESPOS Society is already offering it to dinosaur, archaeology and medicine professionals. The suite's sophisticated tools could be of use to anyone who has to measure and compare high-tech scans." NESPOS has opened a new area of scientific work, believes Cordes. "Older scientists working in the fields of palaeoanthropology and archaeology tend to be excavation specialists and focus on the physical side of their work," he says. "But they too are beginning to realise the value of this new database, such as when examining artefacts in detail on a computer screen." The virtual-exhibition features of NESPOS also demonstrate how museums can manage and display their scientific collections to the public. Dissemination partner National Geographic has featured the project on ArchChannel, its cultural-heritage publications and internet portal. To date, ArchChannel has presented the TNT's scientific results in its German-language monthly magazine and produced a linked special edition on mankind's evolution. Looking ahead, Cordes highlights the importance of offering free access to the project's tools: "Young scientists in the Neanderthal field benefit, since this access saves money on travel and opens up what was once a fairly closed community." Some of project partners are currently working with the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, Germany – not originally a project partner but now a NESPOS member – on mobile scans. Moreover, the NESPOS Society is working with the European Virtual Anthropology Network (EVAN) to spawn a new generation of researchers familiar with virtual scientific-collaboration tools. Tested extensively in workshops across Europe, the open-source VISICORE suite is to be commercialised through NESPOS. The database may also generate spin-offs, since the creator, PXP Software, intends to market its expertise on creating such an application.

What is an Engine Lathe? - Machinery Resources International Inc.
An engine lathe is a type of machinery, shaped horizontally, and it is often used to cut metal. The metal is turned, and the machine uses special cutting tools to create the desired shape. Because of the lathe, it can create various specific forms and is commonly used to spin sheet metal. Cut pieces are involved in automobile engines, machine engines, or any other engine for a motorized vehicle.
Even though it made its debut in the 19th century in blacksmith shops, the engine lathe is still a favorite machine today. While it's primarily used for spinning and creating these specific designs, you can also utilize it for drilling, to create square blocks, and shafts. It can also produce items such as forge burner nozzles, foundry pattern core boxes, or prints. Engine lathes are an excellent tool, which aids in the creation of many modern tools. For anyone that owns an engine lathe, it is easy to produce devices at home or in-shop.
An engine lathe is also known as a reproductive machine because it has many production capabilities. Primary features of an engine lathe are gears, a stepped pulley to operate spindle speeds, tailstock, and a carriage. The gears work to power the transport, which cushions the cutting tools. A tailstock will support hole-drilling within the spindle. Shaping tools can be manually operated or driven with gears. A conventional engine lathe will also include a compound rest and cross-slide for angular and cross cutting.
In the days of a 19th-century blacksmith, the carriage would trap dust and dirt, which can be removed later. Today, machinists have an easier time as the carriage is self-oiling at both the front rear. The carriage is also made to protect the machine from the debris of the parts that it produces.
If you or your business are looking for the finest quality engine lathes for sale, then look no further than Machinery Resource International. Based in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Toronto, MRI is a full-service machinery dealer that serves the manufacturing industry with quality, pre-owned machines. Both domestic and international businesses have helped Machinery Resources become a well-known company with almost 60 years of combined experience.

BiographyCollege of Arts and SciencesJoni Mitchell
David Yaffe, assistant professor at the College of Arts and Sciences, recently released a biography on Joni Mitchell, which featured unparalleled access to her private life. In a feature for the Dallas Morning News, Yaffe talked about how he was able to get this close to the star.
"During the conversation, she happened to say: 'Man, I need a biographer.' She had recently been rear-ended by a teenage driver, an event that underscored the fragility of life and put her desire to have a worthy tome written about her in even sharper relief. Yaffe was thrilled to hear it, because he was already making plans to write her definitive biography," the article says.
