A Business Association dedicated to enhancing the promotion of US-Turkish Commercial, Defense, Technology and Cultural Relations.
The American-Turkish Council (ATC), a leading independent business organization, exists to help member companies achieve their bilateral business and investment objectives and to facilitate stronger U.S.-Turkey relations. Our diverse membership includes Fortune 500s, multinationals, and U.S. and Turkey-based small and medium-sized enterprises from multiple sectors. Equipped with decades of experience, expertise, and an influential network, the ATC provides its member community with opportunities, services, and programs designed to resolve business challenges and strengthen linkages between the two countries.
The ATC serves its members as a critical voice, source of knowledge, trade convener, and diplomatic counsel in both Washington, DC and Ankara. ATC staff help member companies grow by providing them opportunities to leverage their brand among chief stakeholders.
The ATC's advocacy efforts aim to shape policies that advance U.S.-Turkey trade relations. Our organization's local market expertise provides members with essential insights and information to enhance their strategic capabilities. We moreover develop our members' networks by facilitating relationships with private sector leaders, educational institutions, policy makers, and high-level government officials.
Our services enable stronger U.S.-Turkey relations by providing unmatched;
Business DevelopmentWe provide a network of business development services, from legal to financial, that enhance our member companies' strategic decision making. These include:
- Market Entry and Access: Organizing specific events to create opportunities to enter new markets, while providing the resources, network of experts, and supporting services for companies to realize their investment and sales goals.

VisionThe ATC seeks to generate valuable opportunities and provide rich resources for its member companies in service of the U.S.-Turkey commercial relationship.
Our StoryThe ATC was founded in the mid-1980s by U.S. diplomats personally devoted to the U.S.-Turkey relationship. ATC staff continue to emphasize the friendship and professionalism that has shaped the bilateral partnership for decades.
Though the U.S. and Turkey have been NATO allies since 1952, their commercial partnership has only recently blossomed. In virtually all fields of economic activity, the U.S. leads the world. With a gross domestic product (GDP) of USD 18 trillion and a per capita income of USD 55,000, it boasts the world's largest national economy and produces nearly 20 percent of global income. Following the 2001 global economic crisis, while the rest of the world entered a recession, Turkey climbed its way steadily to become an upper middle-income nation. With a dynamic population of 76 million people, a growing consumer market, and incomes to support it, Turkey's nominal GDP reached USD 800 billion in 2014. Annual per capita income exceeded USD 10,500, making Turkey a top-20 economy. Turkish foreign trade is likewise vibrant and growing rapidly. In 2014, Turkey's imports were worth USD 242 billion, while exports topped USD 157 billion.
With members representing over 15 industries, the American-Turkish Council demonstrates the diversity and dynamism of the U.S.-Turkey commercial relationship, and functions as a primary facilitator of the broader bilateral partnership.

The ATC's flagship event is the Annual Conference on U.S.-Turkey Relations. Held every year in Washington DC, the Annual Conference convenes hundreds of U.S.-Turkey stakeholders and thought leaders to address key commercial and diplomatic topics between the two countries. Participants include leaders in the private sector, government, and the non-profit space. CEOs, entrepreneurs, key Members of the U.S. Congress and the Turkish Parliament, as well as Ministers and Cabinet Secretaries assemble to discuss the state of U.S.-Turkey relations and explore ways to further promote ties. The Conference offers up-to-the-minute business briefings, cultural events, and opportunities for American and Turkish business people to develop their network, learn from experts across sectors, and exchange information on strategic and practical opportunities.
The ATC also publishes the Annual Conference Magazine, which allows sponsoring companies the opportunity to leverage their brand among relevant stakeholders. The magazine is provided to all conference attendees, as well as to U.S. and Turkish government officials. We then distribute it to our network digitally, reaching thousands of additional business and government leaders, educators, and policy makers invested in the bilateral relationship.
Every year, the ATC Chairman, a select delegation of Golden Horn members, and sponsoring Bosphorus members, visit Turkey to meet with Cabinet Secretaries, Ministers, Heads of State, and member companies. These visits provide an important forum for top-level discussions between American and Turkish business and government leaders. The trip is a premier opportunity to interface with key government decision-makers in order to foster new business opportunities.
ATC Vice Chairman and ATC staff periodically organize trade missions from Turkey to U.S. for Turkish firms that wish to explore and pursue export and investment opportunities in the United States. Each trade mission covers different areas of the country and provides participants networking opportunities, state level government engagements, featured site visits, and targeted meetings with government and project management officials.
Throughout the year, ATC sponsors seminars and workshops in Turkey and the U.S., as well as breakfasts, luncheons, dinners, and receptions for visiting dignitaries and other Turkish officials. As part of its educational awareness program, the ATC organizes briefings on current U.S.-Turkey issues with senior officials in the Executive Branch, and members and staff of both Congressional Houses.
The ATC publishes a "Monthly Newsletter" to update Members on the most recent news on U.S.-Turkey relations. It contains a variety of information including ATC meetings, upcoming events, and news from the Council's standing committees. The newsletter also includes a section each month spotlighting a member company. This member showcase provides the individual Member an opportunity to introduce their company and share their story with our extensive network. Along with the Monthly Newsletter, the ATC publishes the "Bi-Weekly Economic Briefing", which gives a quick insight into the economic trends and developments relevant to the U.S.-Turkey relationship. The ATC also publishes a variety of sector specific Committee Reports that provide industry insights and updates.
The ATC routinely hosts leading government officials for special events and private meetings with member companies. These events are often limited to Golden Horn members and provide them the opportunity to liaise with prominent government decision makers.

text: Home Online Banking CardValet® FAQs CardValet® FAQs General Why do I need CardValet® if I already have mobile banking? CardValet is specifically designed to provide you with "real-time" alerts for debit card transactions. You are notified almost immediately of card transactions to help identify suspected fraud. CardValet is not intended to be a replacement for Online or Mobile Banking. What type of transactions display in CardValet®? CardValet® only shows transactions performed with your registered debit card(s). It does not show teller, check or Bill Payment transactions. What types of phones are supported by CardValet®? CardValet® works with Android and Apple iPhone devices using the most recent mobile operating software. Does CardValet® work for ATM or credit cards? CardValet® currently only supports Mechanics Savings Bank debit cards. How long does the app stay logged in if I do not log out? The app automatically logs the user off after 10 minutes of inactivity. If my debit card is replaced, does the new card number need to be registered manually through the app? Yes. The new card number must be registered. The replacement card is added to the enrolled user's profile via Menu>Manage Portfolio>Add Card. Do I still need to notify my bank to report my debit card lost or stolen if I can turn the card off myself using CardValet®? Yes, you should still notify us as soon as possible so we can order you a new debit card with a new card number. Registration What information do I need to register my debit card in CardValet®? You will need your: • Debit Card Number • Address • ZIP code • Expiration Date • CVV/CVC Code Secondary authentication includes: • Security token sent in an email • Last 4 digits of the social security number Some users may be prompted to enter the amount of a PIN-based transaction performed in the past 72 hours. What are the CardValet® password requirements? CardValet® passwords must be 8-12 characters in length and must contain at least 1 upper case letter, 1 lower case letter, 1 number, and 1 special character. I have accounts at another Bank that offers CardValet®. Can I use one CardValet® app for multiple Banks? Yes, the CardValet® app will accommodate multiple debit cards from different banks. However, each bank will require its own username and password to log in. How many cards can I register within a single CardValet® application? There is no limit. If my address is longer than 20 characters, what should be entered? CardValet® accepts an address of 50 characters. The address and ZIP code should match the address you have on record with Mechanics Savings Bank. Can multiple cards be linked to one registered CardValet® account? Yes, you can register multiple cards within a single CardValet® app. Additional cards can be added by going to Menu>Manage Portfolio>Add Card. If I register a card for my child, what stops my child from changing the controls placed on the card? Each person who registers a card will have access to controls for the card. In many cases, the child will not know about CardValet® unless the parent shares the information. Can I re-enroll in CardValet® if I have previously unsubscribed? es. You will need to registers as a new user and select a new user name; if you enter your previous user name, an error displays. Upon successful registration, you may once again use CardValet®. Controls and Alerts What is the range of the My Location controls? The My Location controls and alerts will check to ensure the merchant location is within a 5-mile radius of your phone. Do the My Location controls impact online transactions? The My Location controls affect card-present transactions only and do not affect online transactions. If My Location is set but my primary device is turned off, will transactions be denied outside of the My Location area? CardValet® ignores location information that is more than 8 hours old. If your phone is off for more than 8 hours, the My Location controls will not take effect and transactions will not be denied on the basis of the old location information. What happens if I set up My Location controls but leave my phone at home? Will transactions be denied outside the My Location area? CardValet® performs a proximity check at the granularity of ZIP code or city, so if the merchant is close to home then the transactions will still be approved. Can I turn on My Location for a dependent's card? To limit a dependent's card, you should enable the My Regions control. You can set up to 3 regions using the map to designate the area(s). The regions are effective for all users with the same card number. A region has been set on the map. Does this mean the card can only be used exactly in this region? The region shows the approximate area where the card can be used; the area must be greater than 5 square miles. CardValet® can typically map the transaction down to a ZIP code or city. If the city or ZIP code of the merchant overlaps with the elected region in the map, then the transaction can still go through. There are instances where a merchant location cannot be mapped down to a ZIP code or city, in which case CardValet® will default to a state-level match. Can CardValet® block all international transactions? Yes, by enabling the Block International location control. Any card-present transactions made from international locations will be blocked. The International Location control does not block online transactions. Will location controls, merchant controls, threshold controls, or turning the card off impact previously authorized recurring transactions? CardValet® does NOT block previously authorized recurring transactions. How do I turn off notifications at certain times, such as when I'm sleeping? Go to Menu>Settings>Do Not Disturb. Some notifications will still be delivered, such as any transaction denial or any transaction that is a card-present authorization. How are CardValet® notifications delivered? CardValet® notifications are sent as push notifications to your phone. The notifications also display under Messages in the CardValet® app. If I set multiple alerts and a transaction violates these alerts will I receive a separate message for each alert? The alerts are consolidated into one message. For example: if a transaction violates Threshold and Location settings, you will only see one alert. What is included in Spent on card this month? Spent on card this month displays the total amount that is calculated from the cumulative spending on all managed cards in the month to date. At the end of every month, the system automatically resets the monthly spending amount to zero (0). Deposits and refunds are deducted from the total. When is the low balance alert generated? CardValet® updates the balance under two conditions: • When you log in to CardValet® • When you tap Refresh Even if the balance has fallen below the threshold that has been set, your balance is only updated when you log in to the app or taps Refresh, at which point the alert will be triggered. We strongly recommend using the low balance alert feature within Online Banking for account balance alerts. Does the app show recent transaction history?/a> Yes, the last 50 card-based transactions posted within last 30 days are displayed. Only transactions posted after you register will appear. Why did I receive 2 CardValet® notifications when I bought gas? One for an odd amount and then a second notification for the actual amount of the gas I purchased? Gas stations send through a "preauthorization amount" on all debit card gas purchases to verify the validity of the card. The preauthorization amount can vary from $1.00 to $100.00 and is determined by the gas station. Only the actual amount of the gas purchase will be deducted from your account. Will the balance be updated to include ATM, teller, check or Bill Payment transactions? The balance will be updated to reflect your available balance the next time you log in to CardValet®. How do I remove an old or unused card number? The old card cannot be removed but you can unmanage the card via Manage Portfolio. Can I unsubscribe from CardValet®? Yes. Click on Manage Portfolio from the menu. Uncheck all cards and accounts you wish to unsubscribe and tap OK.

Ways to Finance A VW Transporter
– Hire purchase & Lease Purchase. Traditionally you place the VAT upfront and pay over up to 5 years but this has relaxed. You can even add a balloon now. This is great for if your company has made too much profit in a year.
– Contract hire. You cannot customise a contract hire van in any way so this is more for basic white vans.

Part Two of my catching up quest takes me through the first half of the present year, 2018. It had numerous meaningful and personal experiences on offer. Here are a few of them:
Brian's Top 5 For The 1st Half Of 2018
February 1-3: Curtis Brothers Quintet Tour And Live Recording – Boston, MA and Old Lyme, CT
What a thrill to play great new original music and record live with this incredible band! Zaccai Curtis's "Algorithm Suite" is a beautiful, intriguing, and stimulating extended piece of music, to listen to and to play. And the quintet of Zaccai (piano), his brother Luques on bass, the great Donald Harrison on alto sax, the magnificent Ralph Peterson, Jr. on drums, and yours truly on trumpet, was exhilarating.
April 26-May 2: CADME Educational Residency – Calgary, Alberta, Canada
This was something else – more than a full week of working and playing with high school and adult education ensembles from the Greater Calgary area. I had a beautiful time with all the young musicians, and a ball playing with a great group of Western Canada's finest jazz musicians. Beautiful country, great people, and swinging music.
May 16-19: Washington State Tour – Bellingham and Ellensburg, WA
Back out in the Pacific Northwest only a couple of weeks later for another mix of small group performance and large ensemble soloist work in an educational setting. It was great to play alongside two former students of mine, Jared Hall and Kevin Woods – they gave no quarter in a three trumpet throwdown! Central Washington University in Ellensburg was a gas – I moved the students, the band, conducted by Chris Bruya (father of up and coming bassist and former BL Artist Ensemble member Bob Bruya) sounded wonderful! I had a great time hanging out with CWU trumpet professor John Harbaugh. And I made friends with the Bruya's pet llama, Bandit!
May 22: Spheres Of Influence Miami Edition Recording Session (Brian Lynch Songbook Vol. 2) – Miami, FL
I did a lot of recording in the Frost School Of Music's Weeks Studio last spring, with my Artist Ensemble, on a duo project with Frost Dean Shelly Berg and for my own group projects. I'm in the middle of a large scale endeavor to re record all my original small group music that I haven't already put out on my label Hollistic MusicWorks. That's about 65-70 tunes at last count, and new tunes seem to be coming along that increase the workload. Songbook Vol. 1, recorded earlier on in Pennsylvania with my NYC buddies, and Vol. 2, devoted to the "Afro-Caribbean Side" and featuring my Miami band along with some of my talented proteges, will be coming out simultaneously around the start of the new year. I'm proud of the way this series is coming along! More details to follow!
May 31 – June 2: Brian Lynch Quartet Midwest Tour – Milwaukee, WI and Chicago, IL
It's great to hit the road with my Midwest quartet! Pianist Mark Davis, who I've been especially close with over the last 10 years through our work together with the Wisconsin Conservatory Of Music's Jazz Institute, and bassist Jeff Hamman know my music so well that nothing need be said or rehearsed in order to have a great gig. And drummer Kyle Swan (a doctoral student at the Frost School, former Artist Ensemble member, and Chicago native) really put the pots on – he's a swinging, fiery new player to check out, everybody! We'll be back in the Midwest in November.

The Proclaimers 'Life With You' single & album
Apologies to those of you who tried in vain to
purchase a download of the single 'Life With You' via
the iTunes store, incredibly due to technical demons
at Apple, it failed to appear in the first 7 days of
release. It is finally now available at:
:::: Click here for the iTunes Link ::::
The new album CD 'Life With You' is now out from today
in UK/Ireland, we await to see how iTunes functions
this week when the album track downloads are due to go
live on Tuesday night. The album digital download is
currently available at..
The album is certainly getting immense and deserved
critical acclaim. Here is an example from this months
MOJO. (Click to view larger <<< )
Craig and Charlie give their track by track notes:
Life With You is basically an old-fashioned Proclaimers love song. It's simply talking about wanting to live your life with somebody, and it's been transformed by Steve Evan's arrangement.
This is about our overwhelming contempt for people on the left in this country who snipe against the royal family and then end up taking honours.
For people who believe in the monarchy (we're don't, we're republicans) then that's fair enough, we don't have a problem with that. But we feel total contempt for people who are declare that they're against the monarchy but then think it's ok to take an honour in later life.
This is really a story about our contempt for people's obsessive behaviour on subjects like football, Starwars, or any kind of modern obsession which turns a pastime into an obsession and elevates it to a state of a religion
S-O-R-R-Y is another one about the international situation. It's really a song about the people – I'm talking mostly about the newspaper columnists - who were the cheerleaders for the war and the invasion of Iraq. Many people who write for newspapers have never been involved in any military action, and never will be, but seem to think that its alright to encourage us to send our daughters and sons into wars. And when it goes pear-shaped, like it has, they're not even prepared to admit that they were wrong.
This is about people who find it difficult to understand why a certain amount of misfortune falls on them consistently. Hence they always seek to blame someone else for what's going wrong in their life. The song is basically saying, "wake up there's nobody else left blame, and a lot of the pain and the hurt that you feel is of your own making."
This is a song about the blatant misogyny that has become glorified much more than ever before in music over the last ten or fifteen years. The song is about the negativity of hyping up gangsters to be role models. I don't mind songs about any subject, but it seems that there's a lot of them in the last few years, and sometimes it get monotonous to hear a constant steam of hymns to violence and blatant misogyny.
It seems that you can be as misogynistic as you want and any number of record companies will put your records out and nobody bats an eyelid.
This is a lust song, about seeing a lady and just wanting to have some kind of relationship with her – not one that's going to last – but something that might just last a few nights.
If you are creative you should use all the aspects of your life in your work, and you shouldn't just use the optimistic side, you should use the heartbreak and hurt that everybody feels at certain periods of time. This is a song about harnessing that pain, and the fact that you should balance the optimistic stuff and not be afraid to be truthful.
This is a song about the avoidable disaster which has befallen America over the last few years over their involvement in Iraq. We've got people like John Reid saying that we could be fighting this so-called war on terrorism for 50 years, and we've got the Neocons in America talking about it like it's some kind of crusade. It's a very depressing thought that this crusade could be going on for decades more.
This is a story from the point of view of a woman who's been involved in a relationship that's completely consumed her life, it's consumed everything she's thought about and she's been wiling to sacrifice anything for that relationship. The arrangement is somewhat country, somewhat RnB, which sits well with the songs.
It's a Wreckless Eric song - I wish it was ours. It's one of the records that you remember a lot from '76 to '78 period when New Wave reignited people's passion in popular music.
We do the song live and it works. One of the great things is that Wreckless Eric himself has admitted that he's found out that the Bahamas is not in the Caribbean!
This is a very simple song about not being too bothered about doing too much with your day. It's really a song about not letting your day being dictated by worrying about time. It's got a lazy arrangement as well, something that's a wee bit reminiscent of Buddy Holly records, in terms of the feel of the song.
I think this is self-explanatory song. It's about wondering that if there's a God, why is there is so much hurt and pain?

Peter Kay, Matt Lucas and The Proclaimers are 'Gonna Be' downloadable for Comic Relief!
Following the massive anticipation surrounding Peter Kay's new Comic Relief project, he's produced and directed an exclusive performance '(I'm Gonna Be) 500 Miles' by The Proclaimers, featuring Brian Potter and Andy Pipkin. The track will be made available for digital download (video and audio & ringtone immediately after it airs tonight on Comic Relief – The Big One.
The single, in aid of Comic Relief, will also be available on ECD single and DVD single from Monday 19th March on EMI.
In a never to be repeated collaboration, Phoenix Night's Brian Potter and Little Britain's Andy Pipkin actually add their vocal talents to those of cult Scot band The Proclaimers to deliver a hilarious and rousing version of the 80's anthem.
In typical comic fashion, the hilarious sketch, aired tonight on BBC ONE won't see Brian and Andy walking their 500 miles, they roll!
Peter Kay said: It'll lift people up and hopefully do a lot of good in the process. It was great of The Proclaimers and Matt to help bring the idea to life"
Matt Lucas, who is a lifelong Proclaimers fan said:
"The Proclaimers are my absolute favourite band of all time. It was a great honour to be allowed to destroy one of their greatest songs."
The Proclaimers said of their involvement:
"We are very honoured to be asked to participate in this years Red
Nose Day and the use of one of our songs for a cause as worthy as this makes us very happy."
The huge success of Peter Kay's last Comic Relief single, '(Is this the way to) Amarillo' for Red Nose Day 2005, spurred on his decision to create this new project and release this song, the hope is that it will raise even more money this time round!

Dundee Rep Theatre's plans to premiere a new Scottish musical based around the songs of The Proclaimers are now confirmed. SUNSHINE ON LEITH has been written by Stephen Greenhorn and will be performed by members of Dundee Rep's Ensemble under the direction of James Brining. The musical, SUNSHINE ON LEITH also boasts a live nine piece band and will open in Dundee in April 2007 and will then tour to Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Glasgow. Rumours of the show have already received a great deal of attention from both the public and the press. Tickets are already on sale in Dundee and Glasgow with tickets due to go on sale in Aberdeen on Feb 6 and in Edinburgh on Jan 15 2007.
SUNSHINE ON LEITH focuses on two Scottish men who leave the army and return home to Leith and their families. Three very different love stories are intertwined creating a funny, poignant and hugely entertaining show. SUNSHINE ON LEITH will have a cast of 15 performers including the award-winning Dundee Rep Ensemble - Scotland's only full-time company of actors. The band also help bring to life 21 much loved Proclaimers songs including Letter from America, I'm on My Way and I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles). SUNSHINE ON LEITH uses the music of The Proclaimers to tell this engrossing tale about everyday life in Scotland in a similar way to Mamma Mia's use of Abba's songs – it will not be about the Fife born twins.
The show coincides with the 20th anniversary of The Proclaimer's first ever album – This is the Story. Dundee Rep Theatre is already well known for staging successful musical productions and already has hits like Gypsy, Flora the Red Menace and Cabaret. Stephen Greenhorn, who has just completed an episode of Dr Who, also wrote TV's River City and Glasgow Kiss and the stage play Passing Places.
"The Proclaimers' songs are rooted in Scottish experiences and seem to belong to the people of Scotland. We have to do them justice and put them in a context they deserve that engages the audience and gives them a great night out" comments James Brining.
Craig and Charlie say they are "surprised and very happy that a theatre company of the quality of Dundee Rep with its fantastic history, are doing a play featuring our music".

The Open Directory Project
By: James A. Warholic
The Open Directory Project (ODP), also known as DMoz (for Directory.Mozilla, the domain name of ODP), is a multilingual open content directory of World Wide Web links owned by Time Warner that is constructed and maintained by a community of volunteer editors. www.answers.com/topic/open-directory-project
Has The Dmoz ODP Outlived Its Usefulness?
This is not going to be a very neutral article.
The Open Directory Project sounded like a good idea at the time but as with any project that starts off with good intentions as being a directory built by people for the people has in my estimation become a closed club with built in prejudice against adding new members. Many others on the Internet are improving their websites, are they improving theirs?
I have read many stories about the number of times that new people have submitted their sites to the project with never hearing a word of response back from any editor at the directory project.
I can tell you from personal experience with submission to the project that over the past three years and the many times that I have submitted, never once have I received a reply from an editor or staff member. I have written to various editors and staff members and have not so much as gotten a reply of any type. I had followed all of the rules to a tee; making sure the proper category was selected and the Title and Description was properly written. After not hearing from them after several months I re-submitted and re-submitted again after that with the same blank response. See Important Note Below.
They tell you should only submit one time.
You should submit your site to the single most appropriate category that is directly relevant to your site's content. Please only submit your site one time. The ODP editors reserve the right to use their editorial discretion to determine which category or categories your site will ultimately be placed.
Well, after a year and not hearing anything back the first time, I figured that was a long enough period of time to hold off before submitting again. How long do you have to wait before hearing a no response the second time?
Depending on the activity level of the editors in your area, it may take up to 2 weeks or more for your site to be reviewed.
2 weeks or more. How much more?
They say not to be upset if your site is not accepted and it is totally up to the discretion of the editors and staff to approve a site.
We don't accept all sites, so please don't take it personally should your site not be accepted. Our goal is to make the directory as useful as possible for our users, not to have the directory include all (or even most) of the sites that could possibly be listed or serve as a promotional tool for the entities listed.
Their goal is to make the directory as useful as possible. Come on, how useful is the directory when it has categories that never grow or change or add to the listed sites. Are we to assume that these original sites are the caretakers on the Internet?
A few categories have the Add URL link disabled, and don't list or accept submissions.
They say adding a site is easy. Right, give me a break. They should say submitting a site is easy but adding a site to our ODP directory is one of the most difficult things on the Internet, especially if you happen to be in a highly competitive Web field such as Internet Marketing and Online Advertising and we choose to exclude you from our directory no matter how much online quality content you have.
The truth is, the ODP has sites that have not changed in substance and design for years. Additionally many of the sites listed in the ODP have not even added any new content to their websites in years. Take a look at the Internet Archive Way Back Machine to view sites when they first went online. Many have not updated their copyright dates and the Google cache results show that they do not even know how to properly set their titles and descriptions in their meta tags.
Look at the Internet Marketing Proof
Internet Marketing: Marketing Services
Let's look at three case studies listed on the ODP 11/26/05.
Listen, sorry first off to the following business websites that I am going to talk about. But, I am going to tell it like it is and because I know the editors at the ODP could remove these sites after they read this, and I hope that does not occur, but that is why I have included an image of the results on the date stated as a proof of what is going on. If the following sites should also correct the items listed below I will be more than happy to write an article about how a business had improved their website design. Additionally, let me say that no one is perfect in their approach to Internet marketing and online advertising. Everyone has a unique trademark style and I do not really relish the thought of exposing the ODP in this way.
A3 Business Solutions – Case Study #1
The web address url is: a3businesssolutions.com
The following is the screen capture for A3 Business Solutions
First off we can tell from the captured image of the website that the last time the copyright was updated was 2003.
Next let us take a look at all the Google pages for the site.
To perform this test simply type the following in the Google Search bar site:a3businesssolutions.com
It is simple to see from this illustration that the site has 6 pages displayed of approximately 8 total pages.
One more test to be performed and that will tell us how the pages have changed over the years. To perform this test simply go to the Internet Archive Way Back Machine and type in the website: a3businesssolutions.com To view how the pages have changed very little over the years with very little new content simply click on the various links and the proof is in the pudding.
Case study #1 critique
The category is Internet Marketing. This is not some fly by night category. Any site listed in this category should have everything in place. To have a site like this without proper copyrights, very little content, and to have changed very little over the life of this business is not only a poor reflection of the business but is also a poor reflection over the ODP editors and ODP project in general.
Let's move on.
Aabstract Communications – Case Study #2
The web address url is: aabstract.com
The following is the screen capture for Aabstract Communications
First off this site is set up as an all Flash site. To see how many pages are listed in Google for this site we can perform the same test using Google Search, site:aabstract.com. According to the search engine results pages there are about 13 pages listed for this company.
We will also take a look at the archives for this website.
Case study #2 critique
From an Internet Marketing standpoint using an all Flash website is not the most practical in terms of getting properly indexed by the search engines. Search engines need to have body text in the pages, not graphic representations of text. Most well respected experts all agree that this type of site design is a detriment to SEO, Search Engine Optimization. From the results listed in the Google Search we can see several pages where the Titles and Descriptions simply do not make any sense. We see a couple of pages with Titles as "Untitled Document" as the actual text of the page in the Google Search results. How much sense does this make from an Online Advertising and Internet Marketing perspective to have this type of title? Don't forget, this is an Internet marketing, Online advertising, and Web branding company. Is this going to do their customers justice if an all Flash site is designed for their clients?
Aactivate – Case Study #3
The web address url is: aactivate.com
The following is the screen capture for Aactivate
According to their last copyright was 2004 on the home page and 2003 on the contact page and others.
Google Search results for: site:aactivate.com
According to the Google algorithm, 5 pages were displayed for a total of about 17 pages that are similar. Additionally, take a look at the Internet Archive Way Back Machine results for aactivate.com.
Case study #3 critique
First impressions from a technical nature have to do with the first clue being the copyright date. I could understand if one or two pages of a hundred page website had the wrong copyright dates listed. Even a site that was a couple of months into the new year, but not having proper copyrights that are nearly three years behind is just not paying attention to details. Additionally, this is less than a 20 page website, and it should be a piece of cake to update the pages. Second clue to something that is wrong is the Google Search Engine results showing very little quality content in the displayed results for the company. There is some underlying problem within the pages to produce these types of results. The third clue that something is not quite right has to do with the archive listings, which in fact show very little changes over the past four years.
Internet Marketing ODP Overview
I took the very first three results from the Internet marketing category at the Open Directory Project. I did not pick and chose the sites just so I could say some derogatory comments but I did it with online proof, and simply started at the top and went down the line.
The Open Directory Project has a problem. Why there is a problem could be debated for a long time with many different perspectives. But, just looking at the top three case studies from this one category shows something is not being done properly. The top three sites provide very little in the way of relevant content. How this fits in the overall caring about quality and what the ODP prides itself in is beyond me.
We care a great deal about the quality of the ODP. We aren't a search engine and pride ourselves on being highly selective.
Well, they certainly are highly selective. Maybe there just is a little too much pride going on here. I am not sure if this can really get cleaned up. I am sure that other parts of the ODP fail in much the same way as the Internet marketing one does.
One thing that the World Wide Web can be sure of is, Professional Web Services, Inc., We Will Tell It Like It Is, And Do It With Style! Internet Marketing Services, Online Advertising Strategies, And Website Branding Solutions Today To Provide More Sales For Your Business Tomorrow. Contact Professional Web Services provider of Services, Strategies, and Solutions.
How long should I wait before I resubmit?
The simple answer is "forever".
The ODP submission guidelines used to say to do it every month, but this has been rendered unnecessary by changes in how the ODP works. Once a submission has been received, it will never go away. It will sit in that category, awaiting review. Submissions do not expire.
So the preferred method is now to suggest the site to the category and wait at least a month. If, after a month, the site has not appeared, then feel free to submit one more time only. Please note that a new submission to the same category overwrites the previous one. Editors have many ways of sorting the pool of unreviewed sites in a category and one of them is by submission date. If this is the case, then a resubmission will show up further down the list and may end up taking longer to get reviewed.

Anxious Chileans across the region called into the Consulate near the United Nations, desperate for news and solace in the aftermath of the massive earthquake that struck Chile Saturday morning.
The 8.8-magnitude quake killed at least 147 people, toppled buildings, destroyed bridges and could be felt 1,800 miles away in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Electricity, water and phone lines were cut to many areas.
Patricio Damm, the Consul General of Chile, is trying to help Chileans in the tri-state who seek news, but he also has concerns of his own.
When he first got word the quake hit Chile, Damm says, "I thought about my family."
His children managed to call him early from Santiago. They said everything in their apartment fell down; two TVs crashed and chinaware toppled and broke into pieces on the floor.
"They told me they were very scared, even though they're used to earthquakes," said Damm. "But this lasted a lot of time -- almost two minutes -- and two minutes in an earthquake ..."
Customers in restaurants and bodegas across the city stalled in their purchasing to stare at Spanish TV coverage of the quake. Ruben Guzman, who owns a bakery in Astoria, said he had worried customers coming in all day. He also pledged to work with the Consulate to coordinate relief and donations starting Monday.
But Damm says not to donate at this point in time. The Consul General says earthquakes are nothing new in Chile -- and the country has yet to ask for foreign aid because at this point, their disaster relief teams are handling the situation.
Damm said his primary job in the consulate now is to be there to help New Yorkers concerned about their loved ones in Chile.
"The only message we can give them is to have patience, to be calm and to be confident in what the Chilean authorities are doing in this moment," he said.
The quake Saturday triggered a tsunami that raced across the Pacific Ocean on Saturday, threatening Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast as well as hundreds of islands from the bottom of the planet to the top.

Be purposeful.
Too many business leaders, startups, and brands pay lip-service to the value of content, wasting time and money in the process. We'll tie your content strategy to business goals, and achieve genuine ROI.
Business leaders
A business leader will invest in content to build a reputation, demonstrate expertise, and forge a path in thought-leadership.
A startup will invest in content to raise awareness, drive customer acquisition, and set foundations for sustainable growth.
A brand will invest in content to engage its audience, improve retainment, and generate more conversions.
What do you mean by "content"?
It's a vague term, but necessarily so. Content is the creative material that compels your audience to take action. This means web copy, articles, graphics, websites, videos, podcasts, or a combination of all the above. Your choice of medium is determined by audience preference and business goals.
What's the point of content?
High-quality content marketing will directly impact your bottom-line. Just one example; a unique article with effective outreach and promotion will attract great backlinks. These backlinks assist SEO and improve keyword rankings, resulting in a higher volume of qualified traffic. This equates to more business, and tangible ROI.
Should I just hire a writer or designer?
It's a start, but unfortunately you need more.
Effective content strategy is about audience & competitor research, keyword research, resource planning, content creation, distribution, and performance measurement. We work as a collective group to tackle these various stages, with strategic oversight by Matt Goolding - a digital content specialist with experience.
Our nimble network incorporates the very best writers, designers, coders, and videographers.
Why should I choose KYO?
Because there's proof in our pudding. See below.

Really loving this fantastic three-minute intro to the early days of the Universe, narrated by CERN physicist Tom Whyntie.
The video comes via the good folks at TEDEd, who pair world-class educators with talented animators to communicate fascinating subjects (like cosmology) in fun and engaging ways. In this lesson, the animation team at Hornet Inc. helps Whyntie explain the origins of the Universe and the early days of its study. It's a fantastic little three-minute primer – the beginning of the Universe, for beginners.
