The city's Board of Elections released an updated preliminary vote count Tuesday in the city's primary election, showing Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams leading over former Sanitation Commissioner Kathryn Garcia with 50.5 percent of votes after eight elimination rounds of Ranked Choice Voting. Garcia and Maya Wiley, who placed second and third respectively, both conceded to Adams on Wednesday.
The new tally, which included absentee ballots, put Adams ahead by 8,426 ballots over Garcia. While official election results won't be certified for another few days, Adams' lead was enough to prompt the Associated Press to declare him the winner and Democratic mayoral nominee.

Some affidavit and cured ballots still need to be tallied, but likely not enough to shift the outcome of the primary race. BOE officials said Tuesday that 942 ballots are eligible to cure—a chance for voters who filled out their ballot incorrectly to fix and resubmit them—and are due back by July 14, at which points election results will be certified and an official winner declared.
"While there are still some very small amounts of votes to be counted, the results are clear: an historic, diverse, five-borough coalition led by working-class New Yorkers has led us to victory in the Democratic primary for Mayor of New York City," Adams said in a statement Tuesday night. "Now we must focus on winning in November so that we can deliver on the promise of this great city for those who are struggling, who are underserved, and who are committed to a safe, fair, affordable future for all New Yorkers."
Adams is expected to face off in the November general election against Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa, the presumed Republican primary winner, who had 68.1 percent of his party's votes in Tuesday's preliminary count, beating out rival Fernando Mateo. Democratic voters greatly outnumber Republicans in New York City, meaning Sliwa will face an uphill battle in the race for City Hall this fall. Should Adams win as many anticipate, he'll become the second Black mayor in the city's history.
Garcia, who campaigned as a government-savvy fixer and who had 49.5 percent of votes in the BOE's most recent preliminary count, addressed supporters at a press conference in Manhattan Wednesday, where she congratulated Adams but noted that his win was "only by a razor-thin margin."
"For 400 years, no woman has held the top seat at City Hall. This campaign has come closer than any other moment in history to breaking that glass ceiling," Garcia said in her speech, in which she urged other women to run to elected office. "We cracked the hell out of it, and it's ready to be broken."
Maya Wiley, a former de Blasio administration lawyer who positioned herself as the more progressive Democratic candidate in the race after Dianne Morales' left-leaning campaign was consumed by staff complaints about working conditions, also conceded the race during a press event outside the Lucerne Hotel in Manhattan, which has been the scene of a bitter fight over where and how the city should house New Yorkers experiencing homelessness.
"Though the City has continued its inhumane policy of moving men out of hotels back into congregate shelters, they aren't giving up their fight. And neither will I," Wiley said in a statement following her concession speech. "I didn't run for Mayor because I wanted to be a politician and sit at a big desk. I ran because I have a mission—a mission to make the City we love more fair, more just and more affordable."
In an earlier statement, Wiley—who after Tuesday's updated preliminary count trailed Garcia by 12,367 votes in the seventh round of Ranked Choice Voting before being eliminated in the eight—criticized the BOE's handling of the initial primary count.
"It would be an understatement to express dismay at the BOE's administration of this election," Wiley said in a statement, referring to last week's bungle when the board released its first batch of preliminary ranked choice primary votes, only to retract them hours later, saying they'd mistakenly included some 135,000 test ballots in the initial tally.
State Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins has pledged to hold hearings in the coming weeks to explore how to reform the beleaguered agency.

I see from Wikipedia that I missed several more opportunities to be fooled yesterday. I must have been in the shower when Today announced that the UK Theme had been partially reprieved by replacing it with a new euro theme. Google Rooms beta was rumoured.
And by not visiting Macrumors yesterday I missed out on the utterly brilliant Page 3 where it was revealed the next OS after panther will be OS X Felix, that iTMS would switch to WMA and merge its Country and Classical Genres ("to save disk space") and that Apple and Disney are to "aquire each other". Read every detail – from the delightful ratings, to references to products such as the µMac and the odour sensitive trackpad.

It's unfortunate, but in an age where technology is king, fraud should be top-of-mind for anyone who has a personal device like a cell phone, tablet, or laptop; anyone who has made an online purchase; or anyone who's engaged in any other – even less technology-centric – forms of sharing information, especially financial information.
Elder fraud reportedly accounts for at least $36 billion each year in losses for older Americans. However, the older population isn't the only one at risk. Teens and young adults can also fall victim to similar scams.
Knowing the common forms of fraud and scamming that target teens and young adults – and how to defend against them – may significantly reduce the risk of you or someone you love falling victim to fraud.
To help you feel and be safer, here are three forms of fraud to guard against.
As the cost of education continues to rise, many people fall victim to scams based around false scholarships, grants, and financial aid. Perpetrators usually ask for sensitive data like social security numbers and bank account information to "verify" your eligibility or identity. Their true aim is to steal personal information and gain access to your financial accounts.
A key sign of these scams is that they require a "small payment" or offer a "money-back guarantee" before providing an application or information. This is an immediate red flag.
Work directly with the school you are interested in attending. Many institutions provide safe financial resources that are shared via a reputable representative of the university or trade school.
If you are applying for financial aid (FAFSA), use the official .gov site to track deadlines and other filing needs.
Work closely with your high school guidance counselor who may direct you to free online services like Scholly and Fastweb.
Do not apply for or accept scholarships that require an upfront payment.
Contact your local credit union to help you evaluate the option of student loans.
Teenagers and young adults spend nearly nine hours every day consuming media online, whether it's on social media platforms, websites, or apps. This media often calls for engagement, opening a two-way conversation of sorts. While a comment on a friend's photo can be harmless, some situations can expose teens and young adults to information phishing and put them at financial risk.
Non-reputable apps and programs that require an exchange of information, or a "simple, one-time payment" before they can be downloaded.
Online donations that are emotionally driven and seem worthwhile, but don't ultimately go to the intended recipient.
Many of these risks may seem like no big deal – "Oh, I lost 5 bucks, oh well." But, the reality is that scammers can continue to debit your account or credit card after the initial payment. And while teenagers and young adults often assume that the information "required" or acquired online is intended for simple marketing purposes, it can be used repeatedly by the phishing outlet or sold to third party companies that will retarget fraud victims.
Be smart. Don't give out financial and personal information without hesitation and research.
Money-based prizes and money-transfer scams operate in a different way. While these forms of scamming don't initially target only teens and young adults, they are the group that often falls victim to them.
These scams usually run a little something like this: the targeted individual receives a text or direct message via a social media platform telling them that they're a "winner," "recipient," or something similar. If the target responds the scammer will then ask for financial or personal information that would allow them to access financial accounts.
Fraudsters running these types of schemes can pose as a radio station, IRS representative, or foreign business person. They may play on your geographic location or your specific age.
Dealing with fraud does not have to be intimidating or overly alarming. Learning to identify red flags, protecting your assets, and knowing when to get help from trusted financial advisors will make it easier to keep yourself or your beloved teenagers and young adults financially safe.
If you feel your information has been compromised, contact your respective financial institution or credit card provider. The sooner you report any issue of fraud or suspect charges, the safer you will be.

For years mental health experts have touted evidence of a substantial gender gap in depression, with statistics show that women disproportionately suffer from the mental health condition. But according to the findings of a new study, depression may be just as common in men, but widely underreported due to the less understood ways it manifests itself.
Statistics have previously shown that women were twice as likely as men to develop depression at some point in their life, with roughly one in five predicted to encounter the disorder. But a study conducted by researchers at the University of Michigan and Vanderbilt, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on Wednesday, confirmed what some researchers have suspected for years; that mental health experts are likely missing out on crucial diagnostic criteria that could determine if men are depressed.
"When men are depressed they may experience symptoms that are different than what is included in current diagnostic criteria," Lisa A. Martin, Ph.D., and the study's co-authors wrote. "If we can get men who have depression to recognize it in themselves and get treatment, that is really significant," Martin said.
Researchers identified several previously uncharted symptoms of depression in men, including anger, aggression, substance abuse, or activities with a high degree of risk like gambling or womanizing. When researchers accounted for those symptoms in a study of 3,310 women and 2,382 men, they estimated that approximately 26% of men and 22% women had, at some point, suffered from depression. Martin said that the study was the first to examine gender differences in diagnosing the disorder.
Furthermore, the National Institute of Mental Health notes on its website that "Many men do not recognize, acknowledge, or seek help for their depression," because "they may be reluctant to talk about how they are feeling."
Martin corroborated that claim, saying that circumstantial evidence suggested men were far less likely than women to seek help on their own. She said that clinicians she spoke to said complained that men often only appeared in their offices after having "been given ultimatums by their wives or their employers."
"Paying attention to a couple of these other symptoms allowed men who didn't really meet the threshold of symptoms to be considered," Martin said. "Right now we're in an interesting place where clinicians and some research say we really need to pay attention to (unorthodox symptoms)."
Martin conceded that the study did not take into account stress from overworking, over exercising, or changes in sexual behavior. However, she said she hopes that it will lead to changes in how doctors diagnose the condition, with advertising equally targeting men along with women.
"It doesn't do us a lot of good to know more men get depression more than we thought if we can't get them through the door to get help," she said. "How we advertise for support groups and how we do outreach to people needs to change."

Tropical Storm Karen targets Puerto Rico Tuesday afternoon, after 6.0 earthquake morning scare
Tropical Storm Karen is forecast to move either over or near Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands Tuesday afternoon, the National Hurricane Center said in its 11 a.m. update.
The U.S. territory also experienced a scare with a 6.0 earthquake at 3:23 a.m. Tuesday off of its northwest coast, but authorities reported no damages, according to U.S. Geological Survey.
As of the 11 a.m. update, Karen was about 65 miles away from San Juan, Puerto Rico moving at 7 mph and blowing maximum sustaining winds of 40 mph, the NHC said. Karen's tropical-storm-force winds can be felt up to 80 miles away from the center.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands.
The islands could receive between 2 to 4 inches rain with isolated areas of 8 inches, the NHC warned.
Schools and government offices were already ordered closed in Puerto Rico as well as in the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, with officials warning people to stay indoors.
"We've had a number of these events now, and I know it's like the little boy who cried wolf, but I'm urging the public to remain ever vigilant," U.S. Virgin Islands Gov. Albert Bryan Jr. said.
Puerto Rico Gov. Wanda Vázquez activated the National Guard on Monday and urged people in flood-prone areas to seek shelter.
The island is still recovering from Hurricane Maria, which hit as a Category 4 storm two years ago and is estimated to have caused more than $100 billion in damage. More than 25,000 homes still have blue tarps for roofs and the electric grid remains unstable.
"It's a reality that we might have power outages," Vázquez said.
The storm that formed on Sunday devolved into a tropical depression late Monday but is now showing signs of strengthening.
As Karen is on track to continue moving northeastward, Tropical Storm Lorenzo approaches hurricane strength and Tropical Storm Jerry targeted Bermuda.
Lorenzo was 370 miles away from the Cabo Verde Islands as of the 11 a.m. update and on track to move west-northwest at 16 mph. Its maximum sustaining winds increased to 65 mph with even higher gusts, the NHC said.
Meteorologists predict Lorenzo is expected to become a hurricane Wednesday and could develop stronger into a major hurricane by Thursday.
Tropical-storm-force winds can be felt outward of 150 miles from Lorenzo's center. Lorenzo's five day forecast track has it remaining away from any land.
Meanwhile, the 10th named storm of the season, Tropical Storm Jerry, dropped intensity overnight after dropping from hurricane strength earlier this week.
Tropical Storm Jerry is continuing its path northeastward and is about 285 miles away from Bermuda with maximum sustaining wind speeds of 60 mph, the NHC said.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for Bermuda, as the center of Jerry is believed to pass Bermuda Wednesday night.
Jerry's tropical-storm-force winds can be felt 185 miles away from the center.
"Swells generated by Jerry are beginning to increase along the coast of Bermuda, and they will continue to affect the island during the next few days," said U.S. Navy Hurricane Specialist Dave Roberts.
Jerry's effects on surf will be able to be seen in the Caribbean islands as well, Roberts said.
"Swells will affect portions of the northern Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico for another day or so. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions," Roberts said.
Also, a new tropical disturbance formed in the Gulf of Mexico on Monday afternoon near the Yucatan peninsula, and is expected to move slowly west. As of 11 a.m. Tuesday, the system has a 10 percent chance of developing into a tropical depression in the next 48 and a 20 percent chance of doing so in the next five days.

Upgrading the Grid
New Algorithms Could Cut Costs, Add Renewables
By Mark Dwortzan
The ARPA-E project research team at BU--Visiting Researcher Rebecca Carroll (ME), Research Fellow Xiaoguang (Xiao) Li (ME) and PhD student Evgeniy Goldis (SE) and co-principal investigators Professor Michael Caramanis (ME, SE) and Research Associate Professor Pablo Ruiz (ME)--viewing a map of congestion in the PJM power transmission network.
When power transmission lines reach their capacity in a particular region during high demand periods, controllers have little choice but to tap local power plants to keep the electricity flowing and prevent blackouts. This practice, which favors expensive, local generation sources such as coal and natural gas over cheaper, typically more remote, renewable sources such as wind farms and solar arrays, adds an estimated $5 billion to $10 billion per year to the cost of running the US power grid. As more and more renewable generation sources join the grid and increase transmission line congestion, that price is expected to rise substantially.
To mitigate this cost, College of Engineering researchers and collaborators at Tufts University and Northeastern University have a plan that could enable controllers to exploit cheaper, renewable generation sources when transmission lines become congested. Supported by a $1.2 million grant from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Programs Agency (ARPA-E) in 2012 and an additional $1 million as of September, the researchers are developing algorithms and software that can produce short-term changes in the power transmission network that redistribute power across the network and utilize renewable sources without overloading transmission lines.
They estimate that the algorithms they're developing will save $3 billion to $7 billion annually and significantly improve the resilience of today's power transmission network. Based on a fundamental law of physics dictating that electric current is distributed along the paths of least resistance, the algorithms are designed to discover, in real time, preferred reconfigurations of the transmission network.
In the "before" map above, high--red--electricity price areas reflect transmission line congestion (e.g., the red circle shows power flow at 101 percent of capacity). In the "after" map below, low--green--electricity prices are made possible by disconnecting two remote transmission lines (shown by a circled X)--which relieve congestion (e.g., the orange circle shows power flow at 98 percent of capacity). In the "before" map above, high--red--electricity price areas reflect transmission line congestion (e.g., the red circle shows power flow at 101 percent of capacity). In the "after" map below, low--green--electricity prices are made possible by disconnecting two remote transmission lines (shown by a circled X)--which relieve congestion (e.g., the orange circle shows power flow at 98 percent of capacity).
"By removing a small number of critical transmission lines, you change the relative resistances across alternative network paths, and electric power redistributes itself, relieving the congestion," said ProfessorMichael Caramanis (ME, SE), the project's co-principal investigator along with Research Associate Professor Pablo Ruiz (ME), who is leading the research effort. "If you disconnect the right lines, you can relieve congestion, increase use of inexpensive power sources and lower congestion costs."
Having already implemented their algorithms in reproducing real-life situations in collaboration with thePJM transmission system, the largest power market in the US covering many eastern states, the researchers—with the recent addition of Professor Yannis Paschalidis (ECE, SE)—are now fine-tuning their software. Their immediate goal is to provide new ways of integrating wind generation with lower costs while strengthening the power transmission network. But to achieve that goal entails wrestling with a lot of computational complexity. Out of tens of thousands of transmission lines, the software must select a few, perhaps four or five, whose connection or disconnection will minimize the "spilling" or waste of inexpensive wind generation that might occur during high-congestion periods.
"Based on our understanding of power markets, in which prices can vary every five minutes at each node of the network, we can infer which lines would be beneficial to disconnect and which not," said Caramanis. "When we disconnect a line, we also know how it will change the power flow over every other line, and how much we will gain by relieving the transmission network capacity a little bit. The idea is to optimize the network to reduce costly congestion."
Over the next two-and-a-half years, the team plans to continue refining its algorithms in collaboration with PJM, two software companies and an energy consulting firm. It will also design tests and procedures to ensure that the dynamic reconfiguration of the transmission network causes no disruption in the security and stability of the power system. If the software is adopted across PJM or other vast transmission networks, controllers seeking to relieve congestion will have the capability to connect and disconnect selected transmission lines every half hour or hour as needed, rather than once or twice a month, as they do now—or even automate the process.

Using the power of social networking
The internet has created a virtual community all over the world. This is a community which is connecting people through various social networking sites. These people may not be able to meet physically but they get in touch with each other for hours together. The technology to integrate millions of people together is known as Social Network Blockchain. This social network has created a very strong media platform which has more than 10 million viewers daily and has become a strong community integrated with the latest technology spread all over the world.
What is ONZ coin?
ONZ is a crypto currency which originated by the group which runs the snapchat social media network which has very large viewers of more than 10 million people daily. This ONZ Coin is meant to be used and exchanged in this large group which is bound by the common social media network. The value and the recognition of this currency depend on how the public takes it as the token money to be exchanged among them. Although, it has got no physical form but it can be used as physical currency and could be transferred without being restricted with physical boundaries.
What is DPOS coin?
Delegated proof of stake is the advanced version of the crypto currency which tries to solve the problem and the bottlenecks faced by the bitcoin currency. It was found that the system used by the bitcoin or other currency is quite centralized and there was fear that in due course of time, the system will be taken over by few of the giant players. The DPOS coin system tries to answer the questions raised by the existing crypto currency. It tries to implement a system where you can change your incompetent senior with the new one. This system tries to bring technological democracy in the system.

My mother never tired of my requests for spätzli when I was a child. She would boil them up and serve them warm, with a saucy, meaty stew. The next day, you could fry up the leftovers with a sunny side up egg for breakfast.
It was a dish that managed to seem both exotic and familiar. Most other families I knew didn't make spätzli, and yet it wasn't so different from dumplings or the ubiquitous pirogy. Only smaller, with no filling.
The word spätzle (spätzli in Switzerland) literally means 'little sparrows', perhaps describing the shape. The similar knöpfli, which uses the same batter but is formed in a little ball, is the diminutive word for 'buttons' in German. Although first mentioned in text in 1725, Wikipedia states that both the etymology and origin of spätzle is debated.
I called my mum to ask for her recipe. Without missing a beat, she said, "250 grams flour plus three eggs, a little water, then throw in some griess (cornmeal). You have to whip it until you see bubbles appear on the surface of the batter. And then you have to let it rest."
She was happy to hear that I owned a spätzlehobel, a gadget for making spätzli. It looks like a cheese grater with a box on top. It sits over a pot of boiling water and the batter drips through the holes as you move the box back and forth. There is another method, for pros and grandmas, that involves a scraper and a cutting board. It takes some real coordination and is a bit insane. Video here.
Whisk together flour, salt, and cornmeal in a large bowl.
Crack three eggs into a large measuring cup, then top up with water until you have 400 ml of liquid. Whisk this well.
Pour the liquid slowly into the dry ingredients, while beating with a wooden spoon. Beat this vigorously until you see bubbles beginning to form on the surface.
Cover and let rest for at least a half hour.
Once the batter is ready, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Have a sieve or slotted spoon and a large bowl ready to fish out the spätzli as they float to the top.
Here you will find the procedure for using a spätzlehobel. Of course if you are brave, you could try it by hand.
Once the water is boiling steadily, ladle a couple of spoonfuls of batter into the metal box on the spätzlehobel (until the box is about half full). Run the box back and forth, allowing the batter to drip through into the water. Once the box is empty, remove the spätzlehobel from the pot (you can set it over the bowl). The spätzli is cooked once it floats to the top, so skim the water and place them in the prepared bowl until you have removed them all. Repeat until you have used all the batter.
You can serve the spätzli at this point, or it can be fried until brown and crispy.
Cornmeal makes for an improved texture, but you can omit if necessary.
After the vigorous beating, allow a couple of seconds for the bubbles to form on the surface. Sometimes it takes a moment for them to rise to the top of the batter.
If you are frying the spätzli, it helps to give them a good shake in a colander or sieve first, to remove any excess water.

Now Reading: Texas' Largest Corporate Welfare Program is Rapidly Ballooning
Texas' Largest Corporate Welfare Program is Rapidly Ballooning
The program will cost taxpayers at least $8.5 billion over its lifetime, according to an Observer analysis.
The west side of Mont Belvieu is packed with new petrochemical facilities built on Chapter 313 deals. Patrick Michels
The Texas Economic Development Act, the state's largest corporate welfare program, has grown rapidly over the last decade and will cost taxpayers at least $8.5 billion in property tax breaks to businesses through its lifetime, according to an Observer analysis of data from the comptroller's office. That's money that comes out of the struggling public school finance system. Last year, Chapter 313 bled $326 million from Texas schools, and it's projected to grow to $1.1 billion per year by 2022.
Commonly called Chapter 313 for its place in the tax code, the program was created by the Legislature in 2001 based in part on a typo in a report that showed Texas losing its competitive edge to other states. Lawmakers believed that Texas needed to offer big breaks on property taxes to lure business to the state. Under Chapter 313, school districts can strike deals with corporations to reduce their property tax obligations by up to 90 percent for 10 years. Because the state picks up the tab and companies often sweeten the pot with supplemental payments, there's little incentive for school districts not to agree.
There is no limit to how much Chapter 313 could cost the Texas public school system. As the Observer has reported, the comptroller's office, which oversees the program, almost never rejects a proposal, routinely signing off on tax breaks to companies that couldn't have located in another state or were already planning to build in Texas.
"The big issue is why is it getting so big so fast," said Dick Lavine, a senior fiscal analyst at the liberal nonprofit Center for Public Policy Priorities. "The answer is because we're giving tax breaks to companies that were coming to Texas anyway. There's a lot of revenue being unnecessarily lost to [these] companies."
In 2009, Texas schools had struck deals for 90 projects that cost the state about $2 billion. Six years later, the program had grown to 259 projects receiving tax breaks worth about $5.5 billion. As of last May, there were 311 projects on the books that will vacuum $7 billion from the state budget, according to a report submitted by the comptroller's office to the Legislature. But legislators don't have the most up-to-date information.
Relying on a new comptroller report published earlier this month, the Observer calculated that the total lifetime cost of the program is at least $8.5 billion, when projects approved in the last half of 2016 are included.
The comptroller's office is projecting the cost of the Chapter 313 program will increase from about $326 million in 2016 to $1.1 billion in 2022. Naveena Sadasivam
Lauren Willis, a spokesperson for the comptroller's office, didn't refute the Observer's analysis and simply pointed out that the report to the Legislature didn't include projects finalized after May 15 and growth projections for the program. (A spreadsheet of the Observer's calculations can be found here and an explanation of our methodology can be found here.)
Skeptics have long criticized Chapter 313 for providing tax breaks to projects that couldn't be built elsewhere or were coming to Texas anyway. To qualify, companies merely have to assert that the tax break was "a determining factor" in deciding to locate in Texas.
"There's no competition for these companies," said Nathan Jensen, a University of Texas at Austin government professor who has been studying the program. "The unlimited amount of incentives that has been offered here is incredible."
State senator Lois Kolkhorst, who has pushed to reform Chapter 313, told the Observer in an email that she's "had concerns about the program for years." Companies are required to create a minimum number of jobs in order to be eligible for the program, but the comptroller doesn't verify the jobs data reported by the company.
"It's in some ways similar to an honor system," she said. "An applicant claims a certain amount of jobs will be created, the property tax break is then given to them and there is very little follow up."
State Senator Lois Kolkhorst Patrick Michels
Kolkhorst, who reviewed the Observer's analysis, said the comptroller was doing "as well as possible" considering they are required by law to report the fiscal effect on the state to the Legislature, but do not have specific mandates on how up-to-date the information must be.
In some cases, the comptroller appears to have greenlighted projects for applicants that either provided misleading information or openly admitted to not having considered locations in other states.
In December, the Observer reported that Energy Transfer Partners, the Dallas company behind the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota and the Trans Pecos Pipeline in the Big Bend region, had already invested millions of dollars in the projects it was pitching to the comptroller's office before applying for the tax break.
In one case, Energy Transfer Partners told its investors that it was planning on building a natural gas plant in East Texas around the same time that it was threatening the comptroller's office with moving the facility elsewhere if it didn't receive the tax break.
Other companies have been less savvy. Among the earliest Chapter 313 projects was a petrochemical plant operated by Sabina Petrochemicals LLC. In its application, Sabina claimed it "gave serious consideration" to locating in Deer Park before picking the Port Arthur location. Deer Park is on the outskirts of Houston, near Pasadena. The comptroller's office still approved the $15.9 million tax break.
"The rules have been written in a way that it's very difficult to be rejected [by the comptroller's office]," said Jensen.
Willis, the spokesperson for the comptroller's office, said in an email that the agency "stand[s] by [their] process for all of the projects that have received Ch. 313 agreements" and that the Sabina application was approved under a 2002 law that held the local school district solely responsible for vetting project applications.
A 2016 Texas Senate report also concluded that the comptroller was approving projects that would have been built in Texas anyway. On wind projects, for instance, the authors noted that state-financed transmission lines and an isolated grid make Texas an attractive proposition for developers and would likely have brought wind turbines to Texas without the incentives. And of the 116 manufacturing projects the report's authors analyzed, 83 were located in districts bordering a major shipping port and were close to a network of refineries and pipeline systems that are likely an advantage for petroleum product processing and manufacturing companies.
"Both the wind projects and the manufacturing projects, which collectively account for 94% of all Chapter 313 agreements, have ample reasons for locating in Texas aside from Chapter 313," the authors concluded.
"It makes sense to offer incentives to a business that can relocate to a variety of places without regard to any geographic concerns," Kolkhorst said. "But it makes absolutely no sense to entice a business that is restricted in its location by geographic considerations."
Kolkhorst has filed a bill that would require the comptroller's office to verify the jobs data and other details companies provide with information from the Texas Workforce Commission.

FIFA Council vote: World Cup to be extended to 48 teams
FIFA has unanimously voted for the World Cup to be extended from 32 to 48 teams from 2026 onwards.
The entire format will change, which sees 16 groups of three teams with the top two qualifying for the round of 32. The vote was made up of 211 members, who chose between 40 teams, 48 teams and the current 32 team format. The World Cup will host 80 games rather than the current 64.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino is all for the format change, whilst the majority of the football world has unsurprisingly cried out in anger. FIFA will be set to make an extra $1 billion dollars from the World Cup.
Questions were raised after UEFA raised the teams from 16-24 in the European Championships.

Fashions come and go with food as much as they do with skirt lengths or trouser widths.
The American muffin has never quite recovered from its unfortunate associations with the bit of untrained stomach hanging over the top of a waistband, now fetchingly referred to as a 'muffin top'. We have moved on, through the cupcake, to the whoopie pie. I'm still a cupcake fan myself, although do prefer the name 'fairy-cake' or plain old 'bun', which must of course, be said with a Yorkshire accent for the correct effect.
One food that has never been unfashionable is the macaron. French, light and beautiful, they come in the colours of the rainbow and sophisticated flavours such as rose and pistachio. Parisian favourite Pierre Hermé is as much part of my annual Parisian pilgrimage as Chanel. The grande dame of the macaron, though, is of course, Ladurée. The company has several locations across Paris and now the you can order online from Harrods in the UK, making them a treat accessible for me on a more regular basis, hurrah! Although I've indulged in these beauties on many an occasion, I've never attempted to make one.
It has taken two days (although a considerable part of that was leaving things to rest in the fridge) but I have finally finished my attempt to make the beautiful macaron. I used a recipe from Ladurée, which was published in the Paris edition of Stylist magazine. Ladurée Macaroons Citron / In This Week's Issue / Stylist Magazine.
Although mine don't quite look like the ones in the magazine, I'm still pretty pleased with them!
6 Responses to Stylish and sweet.
Thank you! They do taste pretty good. Worth all the effort it takes to make them.
Thank you! Partly the reason I do lots of exercise (apart from the fun) is because I'm basically greedy! To, two days to wait, but not very long to eat!
Thank you! Not very many left now…have to make some more!

When we launched the Debevoise Women's Review nearly three years ago, we set out to create a space in which we could have an honest and frank dialogue about the issues women face in the workforce and in the world more broadly. Although conversations around gender and diversity are prevalent in all areas of life, we continue to be surprised by the extent to which the debate over women's issues—old and new—dominates the news cycle.

The increasing availability of large digital corpora of cross-linguistic data is revolutionizing many branches of linguistics. Overall, it has triggered a shift of attention from detailed questions about individual features to more global patterns amenable to rigorous, but statistical, analyses. This engenders an approach based on successive approximations where models with simplified assumptions result in frameworks that can then be systematically refined, always keeping explicit the methodological commitments and the assumed prior knowledge. Therefore, they can resolve disputes between competing frameworks quantitatively by separating the support provided by the data from the underlying assumptions. These methods, though, often appear as a 'black box' to traditional practitioners. In fact, the switch to a statistical view complicates comparison of the results from these newer methods with traditional understanding, sometimes leading to misinterpretation and overly broad claims. We describe here this evolving methodological shift, attributed to the advent of big, but often incomplete and poorly curated data, emphasizing the underlying similarity of the newer quantitative to the traditional comparative methods and discussing when and to what extent the former have advantages over the latter. In this review, we cover briefly both randomization tests for detecting patterns in a largely model-independent fashion and phylolinguistic methods for a more model-based analysis of these patterns. We foresee a fruitful division of labor between the ability to computationally process large volumes of data and the trained linguistic insight identifying worthy prior commitments and interesting hypotheses in need of comparison.


Are your glutathione levels putting you at risk for Parkinson's in old age? The Parkinsons and GSH relationship will tell you what you should be doing.
Typing in the search term 'Parkinson's disease' in the Pub Med search box, returned a very interesting result. GSH was included on the third 0f 2350 total results found at the time of the query.
Rather than paraphrasing, read the Pub Med Abstract for that Article for your self. Focus on the last line. This is quite exciting. For those familiar with the benefits of GSH this is not anything new.
"We proposed that GSH could protect dopaminergic neurons against DA-induced toxicity via various mechanisms. The imbalance between DA oxidation and GSH protective capacity could be a key factor contributing to PD. Strategies to use GSH analogues, GSH inducers or to control DA oxidation might work to control onset and development."
New Findings: The Cause May Be Bugs?
This is new for 2016. We are currently researching the connection of spirochetes and Parkinson's, Alzheimers, and ALS. There is considerable information in the medical research literature.
While this information does not change the great outcomes, it provides additional information on how to treat and prevent Parkinson's disease. Whether the cause is chemical, stress or any of the other causes, one thing those with PD have in common, there seems to be a growing in numbers of the bacteria. Those with out PD and other diseases do not have spirochetes or the other bacteria.
According to this, boosting your glutathione can decrease your risk of Parkinson's not to mention a number of other disease processes.
"The similar loss of GSH in the nigra in Incidental Lewy body disease, thought to be an early form of PD, indicates that this is one of the earliest derangement to occur in the pre-symptomatic stages of PD. Oxidative damage to lipids, protein and DNA in the nigra of PD patients is consistent with the loss of the antioxidant functions contributed by GSH."
"These multi-functional aspects to the workings of GSH in the cell would suggest that its loss perturbs many different processes and that replenishment and maintenance of GSH per se may be the best approach for preventing progressive damage from occurring."
Parkinsons and GSH: What Can You Do Now?
If you want to boost your glutathione there are several things you can do.
Correct Dehydration Start the Water Cures Protocol. Persistent dehydration causes a disruption of the cells. The resulting dis-ease is often labeled as a disease rather than an imbalance brought on by chronic drought.
Some of the other basics are discussed on this site. If you want to go beyond the basics, please contact me. Feel free to call or write.
I have been looking at all the available ways if boosting the Glutathione in our bodies. There are two companies that have excellent products for just this. Which will be best for you? Well, call and I can share the pro's and con's of each.

Customers can purchase the leading Japanese manufacturers' aluminum electrolytic capacitors. Please check here.
Capacitors are electronic components with the ability to store electricity. In addition to storing electricity, capacitors are used for the purpose of passing alternate current to block direct current. Chip One Stop provides a wide variety of capacitors.
Ceramic capacitors use ceramic as the derivative. Depending on the type of ceramic, ceramic capacitors have been divided to low dielectric constant ceramic capacitors (for compensating temperature) and Low dielectric constant ceramic capacitors.
Aluminum electrolytic capacitors use oxide layer formed on the surface of aluminum electrodean as the dielectric. As dielectric layer is very thin, larger capacity can be stored.
Tantalum electrolytic capacitors are smaller than aluminum electrolytic capacitors and used in many analog circuits. Tantalum electrolytic capacitors are used in order to remove spike current spike in digital circuits.
Electric double layer capacitors used the state the electric double layer formed at the interfacial surface of electrode and electrolyte as the dielectric function. Electric double layer capacitors can correspond to a wide range of use applications flexibly.
Mica capacitors use mica, which is a natural mineral, as the dielectric. Temperature coefficient of capacitance is small and consistent and degree of precision of capacity is high. Mica capacitors are used for correcting phase of negative feedback etc.
Film capacitors are low dielectric capacitors which use soft film as the dielectric. Film capacitors are most suitable for the case requiring low capacity error and rigorous capacity.

Simplicity is the shining armor of Zen.
Derived from the Sanskrit word Dhyana, Zen found its way to Japan via China in the form of motionless meditation. The word Zen paints a picture of peace, serenity, waterfall and rounded stones. It has become a part of our every day lexicon, yet we hardly practice what it exhorts. Be here and now. Turn off the filters. Dissolve all preconceptions. Perceive directly. "Dissolve into the eternal now, and realize that the Universe itself peers out through your eyes, hears through your ears, and breaths each breath." Experiencing each moment as it is. According to Chinese Ch'an and Zen, understanding comes only by ignoring the intellect and heeding the instincts, the intuition. True perception comes from vast emptiness.
