Paris took a major new step Monday to bidding for the 2024 Olympic Games when city lawmakers voted by an overwhelming majority to back a campaign.


"Now we're off on an Olympic adventure nike air max 93 sale ," said Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. President Francois Hollande, a strong backer of a bid, is to meet International Olympic Committee (IOC) head Thomas Bach in Lausanne on Thursday.


A huge majority of the 163 law-makers backed a Paris bid in a vote. Only a handful of Greens and extreme left wing councillors voted against.


Paris is close to entering an intense Olympic battle. The US has entered Boston, and Rome will lead an Italian bid. Germany will enter Hamburg if a city referendum gives support.


The French Olympic Committee is -expected to make a final decision on Paris in June.


Cities have until September 15 to -enter bids and the IOC will make a decision in mid-2017.


Paris is hoping to capitalize on its world-famous landmarks to win support.


A feasibility study proposed holding beach volleyball in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, archery on the Invalides Esplanade near the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte and fencing in the historic Grand Palais museum.


The Stade de France that held -soccer's 1998 World Cup final and Roland -Garros, the venue for the French Open tennis nike air max 180 sale , would also be used.


With so many existing venues on the draft plan, only a new swimming pool and a village for the 10,000 athletes would have to be built.


Initially, Hidalgo had doubts about a possible Olympic bid. However, she said the feasibility study, Islamist attacks in the city in January and the likely support of 1.8 billion euros ($2.0 billion) from the IOC made her change her mind.


"We have to look beyond the Olympic Games - to the thousands of houses built nike air max 90 sale , improvements in transport infrastructure," Hidalgo said.


Tony Estanguet, a three-time Olympic canoe champion, IOC member and probable joint head of the bid campaign called Monday's vote a "decisive step."


"There is still work to be done," he added however.


Hidalgo has promised that some kind of public approval will be sought in 2016, but has not yet said whether that will mean a referendum.


A poll published Sunday showed that nearly two-thirds of French people -favor an Olympic bid.


If the French capital wins nike air max 98 sale , the Games would be held on the 100th anniversary of the last time Paris staged the Olympic Games.


Paris was considered the front--runner for the 2012 Olympic Games and has never got over the disappointment of losing to London, whose event was widely acclaimed.

Fake News Is Just The Beginning 鈥?Why The Internet Needs A Fix
When the Internet first emerged, it was mainly a tool for scientists, researchers and government officials to connect with one another and share information. Back then, online users tended to know one another, and they were able to connect screen names with real-world identities.


The Internet did not stay that way for very long. In just a few years nike air max tn sale , what started as a secure way for government officials, security experts and research scientists to communicate was opened up to the wider world. Once the commercial potential of the Internet was fully realized, there was no putting the genie back in the bottle. For better or worse, the Internet had outgrown its original purpose, and now ordinary users are logging on, gathering information nike air max plus sale , sharing stories, selling products and having fun.


Almost from the beginning, the anonymity of the Internet seemed to bring out the worst in some people. Anyone who remembers the chat rooms and IRC boards have some not so fond memories of online trolls and other ill-behaved individuals. That trolling has not gone away. In fact, it has changed and matured along with the Internet, and today any foray into a news site message board or discussion group can be a pretty intimidating experience.


These days much of the talk is of fake news, but unreliable information is only the tip of the Internet iceberg. The spreading of false stories and incorrect information may well have influenced the most recent presidential election nike air max 1 sale , but its implications go far beyond politics. There is plenty of fake news out there, and plenty of reasons to fear the anonymity of the Internet.


Besides the fake news, there are tens of thousands of fake profiles and false identities on the Internet. From people hiding behind the security of a false identity to spread unfounded rumors to bots creating fake social media profiles to increase the perceived value of a brand or company, these online falsehoods are everywhere you turn.


It is clear the Internet needs a fix, and that fix may finally be here. Authenticated Reality has launched The New Internet this year and promises to create a safe and secure community where the users all know one another. To access The New Internet, download the browser or app for mobile. The New Internet will create a more civil online society and stop the scourge of fake news and the sharing of false information.
By requiring users to verify their identity nike air vapormax plus sale , The New Internet browser promises users a better, safer and more productive online environment. This authentication of identity is the natural fix for an Internet that is clearly out of control, with abuses of anonymity, the spreading of false information and the creation of fake news stories.


Instead of hiding behind a screen name and taking on an online persona, the users of this new service will be identifiable, and accountable. If they choose to spread a fake news story or act in an uncivil manner nike air max 95 sale , the other members of their secure Internet community will be able to call them out by name. No more creating online falsehoods, no more hiding behind a fake profile and no more pretending that there are no real-world consequences to bad online behavior.


It is clear that the Internet needs a fix, and now that fix is finally .
