text: How To Make Social Media Marketing Work For You There are only so many ways to market your business. One of the newest ways to get your business out there is through social media. Here you will find things that you can use in social media to drive traffic to your website so you're able to thrive online and off. One rule of thumb to avoid with social media marketing is to not annoy your customers. Some marketers over do it by constantly sending their customers messages they really do not need or want. This can annoy your readers and cause them to not want to visit your site, especially if you're always bombarding them with messages! Do not begin marketing on social networking sites until you come up with a plan. You will have to determine how you want your page set up, how often you can work on it, and who will do the work. As with any other campaign, you should set a timeline. You have a very good chance of making money with social media marketing if you don't stray from your plan. If your blog has grown popular, put up some stats showing your visitors how many others follow your content. Demonstrating your growth through showing the number of Facebook "likes" you've received, Twitter followers you've accumulated or any awards your site or blog has received is a great way to prove your "social worth." Provide a way for people to sign up for email alerts when you post new blog posts. If this type of social media marketing is more recognized as older way to utilize Internet marketing, whether you're just putting up a post rehashing a previous topic or writing about a new product, giving followers a way to stay connected works, even. Try using linking applications on Twitter to post to your other social media profiles at the same time. These linking applications are a huge time saver. When you post a message on Twitter, it will automatically post the same message on your Facebook, YouTube, and Google+ profiles, so you don't have to sign into all of them to post the same content. To start off successfully in social media marketing, until you find your own voice, simply fake it until you make it. Have knowledge about what your competition utilizes for their particular social media marketing tactics, and copy them until you discover what works best for you. Lurk their social media pages and pay close attention to the type of posts they make, especially promotions. When you post something to Twitter, it is a good idea to add a tag. Tags go after the # symbol and allow your feed entries to appear for users that have joined certain groups. Think carefully about your tag use. Identify specific groups that your intended demographic probably follows. You will frequently see interesting photo-shopped images on social media ad pages. So, try your best to use images that can draw in new potential followers and buyers when you decide what kind of ads you want to promote. The likelihood of a purchase from your business is increased because the viewer is intrigued by the visual image. Add relevant tags to your Youtube videos. They will be more likely to come up in searches linked to your products. You could use keyword tools to find out which keywords are popular among your target audience. If they find it relevant to what they were looking for, remember that your audience will be more likely to share something. Take advantage of the power of social media websites to research new products or services or analyze reactions to old ones. Your fans may enjoy helping you discover which new products or services your customers desire. They give insight as to what they are looking for and what they want, and the best thing is it's free to do. Choose the snippet you post to Facebook about fresh content carefully. You want to create an interesting headline or sentence or two about the new content. When what you post is alluring, it generates more followers. It does this because those who already follow you or have "liked" you on Facebook will be more inclined to share your link with their friends. Make sure to respond to all comments on your social media pages. You should respond to negative comments also. When people think you care about what they say, they will trust you and your products. Answer comments and questions as quickly as possible. Add some type of visual stimulation to your blog posts for your company. Nobody is interested in endless lines of words that do not incorporate any images. Images, art work, graphs or even videos are a great text breaker. Avoid adding too many visual elements, but make sure there is a good distribution of text and images. People should feel welcome to post comments in response to your blog entries. It can be done without having to divulge personal contact details. That's the most beneficial part of this. Keep a close eye on what people post, although allow visitors to post comments. Remove spam comments and offensive statements that preclude a friendly exchange. It is important for you to respond to any comments that are left on your Facebook page. Make time to visit the site at least on a daily basis, since timely comments really make a difference. You want to be sure that their idea is still fresh in their mind when you do it. In return, they will appreciate your responsiveness. The headline above your prepared media should immediately grab the reader's attention and give them a reason to stay. A proper "reader callout" is a core puzzle piece, and if done incorrectly can cost your company customers and profits. Find a way that touches each reader individually, while also not becoming so complex that it causes them to lose interest in the media. Take advantage of what makes social media so powerful, and actually interact with your consumers. Messages, comments, and forums can all benefit the business owner and help you learn what to do next. By interacting, you will build up personal relations, while also being given an opportunity to find out what you may have done right or wrong. These tips should help you establish a solid presence on social networks, even though you are going to learn a lot of more as you progress. You need to keep your knowledge current because social media is constantly evolving. You can attract a broad audience with your clever use of social media, by learning how to use all of these tools. 卡式台胞證照片辦理申請過期費用臺胞證台灣居民來往大陸通行證 清潔公司台北新北推薦費用居家清潔打掃冷氣 徵信公司徵信社推薦討債抓奸費用外遇找人離婚征信社尋人欠債抓姦抓猴跑路 台北植牙牙醫診所牙科新北費用假牙牙套牙橋 台北隆乳醫美微整形隆鼻美白針診所玻尿酸音波拉皮墊下巴肉毒桿菌雙眼皮自體脂肪隆乳 新北外燴餐盒台北茶會點心餐飲推薦外烩 近視雷射眼科診所白內障手術散光 室內設計裝潢翻新居家客廳裝修老屋設計圖室內設計師 會計師事務所成立營業商工商業公司登記記帳士 安養院安養中心長照2.0護理之家養老院失智症 漏水屋頂抓漏防水費用壁癌 消滅蟑螂老鼠防治消毒滅蟑公司蜘蛛跳蚤除蟲果蠅白蟻紅火蟻

Paenibacillus sp. A59 was isolated from decaying forest soil in Argentina and characterized as a xylanolytic strain. We report the draft genome sequence of this isolate, with an estimated genome size of 7 Mb which harbor 6,424 coding sequences. Genes coding for hydrolytic enzymes involved in lignocellulose deconstruction were predicted.
Microbial cellulases have become important for many applications in food processing, animal feed, pulp and paper industries, and second generation biofuels production (1). In particular, bacteria are promising sources of enzymes for biomass bioconversion. Members of the Paenibacillus genus have been isolated from soil and plant related sources (2) and have been reported to produce many extracellular enzymes for industrial applications (3).
In our study, a novel cellulolytic and xylanolytic strain, named Paenibacillus sp. A59, was isolated from a previously characterized cellulolytic bacterial consortium, obtained from decaying forest soil in the Patagonia region, Argentina (4). These bacteria are Gram-positive endospore-forming, facultative anaerobe bacillus. Based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, it formed a cluster with P. taichungensis (gi|343199050|) and P. pabuli (gi|343200166|). A crude enzymatic extract of Paenibacillus sp. A59 was capable of converting pre-treated sugarcane agricultural residue to simple sugars such as xylobiose, xylose, cellobiose, and arabinose, demonstrating its potential for lignocellulosic biomass deconstruction (S. Ghio et al., unpublished results).
Bacterial genomic DNA was obtained from a 24 h culture in Luria Bertoni broth, by a commercial extraction kit (Wizard Genomic DNA Extraction kit, Promega). Genome sequencing was performed using Illumina MiSeq platform. A total of 4,201,470 paired-end reads were generated, with an average length of 250 bp, achieving 110-fold coverage of the genome. The raw reads were trimmed using Trimmomatic version 0.33 (5) and assembled de novo using Velvet version 1.2.10 (6), producing 83 contigs with an accumulated length of 7,087,589 (N50 317,284 bp) and an average G+C content of 46%.
The functional annotation was performed with the Rapid Annotations using Subsystems Technology (RAST) server, version 2.0 (7) and NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/annotation_prok/), resulting in 6,424 predicted coding sequences, 39% of which were assigned to 447 sub-systems. Also, 48 RNA sequences were identified: 46 tRNAs and one copy of 23S/5S and 16S rRNA genes. A comparison of Paenibacillus sp. A59 genome sequence with others available in the RAST server resulted in Geobacillus sp. Y412MC10 (score 524) and Paenibacillus sp. oral taxon 786 strain D14 (score 461) as closest neighbors. Several genes coding for potential glycoside hydrolases (GHs), as classified by the CAZY database (8), were found. Among them, 4 endoxylanases (GH10:3, GH11:1), 2 endoglucanases (GH5:1, GH9:1), 2 cellobiohydrolases (GH6:1, GH48:1), 13 β-xylosidases/arabinofuranosidases (GH43:12, GH52:1), and 7 β-glucosidases (GH1:1, GH3:6) were the most relevant enzymes identified for lignocellulosic biomass deconstruction. These preliminary results correlate with the observed enzymatic activity of Paenibacillus sp. A59 and highlight the role of Paenibacillus genus as a source of (hemi) cellulolytic enzymes for biotechnological and industrial applications.
Nucleotide sequence accession numbers.The draft genome sequence of Paenibacillus sp. A59 has been deposited in DDBJ/EMBL/GenBank under the accession no. LITU00000000. The version described in this paper is LITU01000000.

Using vehicle speed sensors and seat sensors, smart airbags in the Passport deploy with different levels of force or don't deploy at all to help better protect passengers of all sizes in different collisions. The Passport's side airbags will shut off if a child is leaning against the door. The GLC's airbags don't have smart features and will always deploy full force.
Both the Passport and the GLC have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, height adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, rearview cameras, available all wheel drive, blind spot warning systems, rear parking sensors and rear cross-path warning.
Honda's powertrain warranty covers the Passport 1 year and 10,000 miles longer than Mercedes covers the GLC. Any repair needed on the engine, transmission, axles, joints or driveshafts is fully covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. Coverage on the GLC ends after only 4 years or 50,000 miles.
There are almost 3 times as many Honda dealers as there are Mercedes dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Passport's warranty.
The engine in the Passport has a single overhead cam for simplicity. The engine in the GLC has dual overhead cams, which add to the number of moving parts and the complexity of the cylinder heads.
From surveys of all its subscribers, Consumer Reports' December 2019 Auto Issue reports that Honda vehicles are more reliable than Mercedes vehicles. Consumer Reports ranks Honda 9 places higher in reliability than Mercedes.
The Passport's 3.5 SOHC V6 produces 25 more horsepower (280 vs. 255) than the GLC's 2.0 turbo 4-cylinder.
As tested in Motor Trend the Honda Passport is faster than the Mercedes GLC 300:
Zero to 60 MPH
6.2 sec
6.9 sec
Quarter Mile
14.7 sec
15.2 sec
Speed in 1/4 Mile
An engine control system that can shut down some of the engine's cylinders helps improve the Passport's fuel efficiency. The GLC doesn't offer a system that can shut down part of the engine.
To lower fuel costs and make buying fuel easier, the Honda Passport uses regular unleaded gasoline. The GLC requires premium, which can cost 20 to 55 cents more per gallon.
The Passport has 2.1 gallons more fuel capacity than the GLC (19.5 vs. 17.4 gallons), for longer range between fill-ups.
The Passport has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it's removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The GLC doesn't offer a cap-less fueling system.
For better traction, the Passport has larger standard tires than the GLC (245/50R20 vs. 235/60R18). The Passport Touring/Elite's tires are larger than the largest tires available on the GLC (265/45R20 vs. 255/45R20).
The Passport Sport/EX-L's standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 50 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the GLC's standard 60 series tires.
For better ride, handling and brake cooling the Passport has standard 20-inch wheels. Smaller 18-inch wheels are standard on the GLC.
The Passport has a standard easy tire fill system. When inflating the tires, the vehicle's integrated tire pressure sensors keep track of the pressure as the tires fill and tell the driver when the tires are inflated to the proper pressure. The GLC doesn't offer vehicle monitored tire inflation.
The Passport has a standard space-saver spare tire so you can replace a flat tire and drive to have the flat repaired or replaced. A spare tire isn't available on the GLC; it requires you to depend on its run-flat tires, which limits mileage and speed before they are repaired. If a run-flat is damaged beyond repair by a road hazard your vehicle will have to be towed.
For better handling and stability, the average track (width between the wheels) on the Passport is 3 inches wider in the front and 3.1 inches wider in the rear than the track on the GLC.
For greater off-road capability the Passport has a 3.1 inches greater minimum ground clearance than the GLC (8.1 vs. 5 inches), allowing the Passport to travel over rougher terrain without being stopped or damaged.
To almost totally eliminate engine vibration in the passenger area, the Passport has an electronically controlled liquid-filled main engine mount. A computer-controlled electric current in the liquid changes its viscosity, allowing the mount to dampen the engine completely at all RPMs. The GLC uses conventional solid rubber engine mounts.
The Passport uses computer-generated active noise cancellation to help remove annoying noise and vibration from the passenger compartment, especially at low frequencies. The GLC doesn't offer active noise cancellation.
The Passport has 2.3 inches more front headroom, .1 inches more front legroom, 4.7 inches more front shoulder room, 1.6 inches more rear headroom, 2.3 inches more rear legroom and 5.4 inches more rear shoulder room than the GLC.
The Passport has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat up than the GLC with its rear seat up (41.2 vs. 19.4 cubic feet). The Passport has a much larger cargo volume with its rear seat folded than the GLC with its rear seat folded (77.9 vs. 56.5 cubic feet).
Maximum trailer towing in the Mercedes GLC is limited to 3500 pounds. The Passport AWD offers up to a 5000 lbs. towing capacity.
To improve rear visibility by keeping the rear window clear, the Passport has a standard rear fixed intermittent wiper with a full on position. The rear wiper standard on the GLC only has an intermittent setting, so in a hard rain visibility isn't as good.
Consumer Reports rated the Passport's headlight performance "Very Good," a higher rating than the GLC's headlights, which were rated "Good."

Adams Morgan History Walking Tour
Published: October 24th, 2014
Sat., Oct. 25 (3pm): Starting at the Sun Trust Plaza (18th St. & Col. Rd.), documentary filmmaker, researcher, preservationist and Adams Morgan community activist Eddie Becker will be conducting a tour that will highlight the neighborhood's history from its very beginnings with the displacement of the native peoples who once made tools from quartz along Rock Creek, through the slavery and institutionalized segregation that divided the neighborhood, to the red-lining by banks that restricted African-American home ownership to the riots and police abuses during the '60s and early '70s.
Learn, also, about the cultural contributions of immigration from Chile and Central America and the displacement caused by the conversion of apartment buildings into condominiums in the '70s and '80s along with the replacement of much of the local retail by bars and nightclub-like establishments in the '80s and '90s and how that process continues through to today with brief moments of push-back and resistance. (See, for example, "Controlling Adams Morgan Nighttime Club Crowds, Enhancing Public Safety Focus of Joint Undertaking Among All Stakeholders," InTowner, April 2014 issue pdf at p.1, http://tinyurl.com/ltfdbgj; also, "Adams Morgan Moratorium Zone Extension Decision Expected to be Decided by ABC Board Next Month, Strong Community Opposition Revealed at Hearing," June 2014 issue pdf at p.1, http://tinyurl.com/ppjgd3d.)

Revising revision in MFL
Rote learning of stock phrases short-changes language students and ties their hands in exam settings. More innovative – and useful – approaches to language revision can change that, says Jane Jones.
The semi-apologetic phrase 'only doing revision' devalues the highly skilled teaching and formative assessment involved in good revision. It can provide opportunities for pupils to practise, hone and demonstrate their linguistic knowledge and skills; yet some revision activities in modern foreign languages (MFL) seem to close down options for students to use their language fully and flexibly.
The focus becomes fixed on paradigms, lists and formulaic expression that can paralyse comprehension and leave students lost for words in exam settings. Mindful of this, I set a challenge for my trainee teachers to devise revision activities for Key Stage 4 pupils that would provide structure as well as opportunities to diverge and to be creative.
Engaging with assessment
Revision is most productive when it reflects regular classroom learning, teaching and assessment styles (albeit more intensified), and a classroom culture of challenge and collaboration. The student teachers were very inventive in their ideas for quality revision. Their work was underpinned by a strong belief in the basic tenets of an Assessment for Learning approach, providing activities to progress learning and ensuring students took responsibility for their learning and gave support to their peers. The revision activities were collaborative and mutually supportive, the learners benefiting from helpful questioning and feedback from each other. The aim was for them to know what 'good work' looked and sounded like – crucial in MFL.
Newly qualified teacher Nicola provided an example of revision activities on the topic of 'healthy lifestyle'. Following some initial recall and practice exercises using the mark scheme as a guide, pupils in her German class had to come up with an answer to the question 'what makes a healthy lifestyle?' After a few lessons marking each others' work and scrutinising sample answers from the exam board to generate success criteria, the pupils attempted to answer the question in groups. The criteria were: use three tenses, give your opinion, and use complex language.
Nicola provided a hint on how to tackle the question to achieve the highest possible marks, but the students then took over, adapting previously learnt language and creating new language to hit the success criteria. The students then swapped their answers with other groups, got out their mark-scheme checklists and awarded grades, highlighting aspects of language which scored points based on the success criteria and also the GCSE exam marks. They became quite expert, says Nicola, and sample responses were written up as exemplars and shared with the class.
This example shows how pupils can engage deeply with the assessment criteria and come to an understanding for themselves through peer- and self -assessment of what they need to be able to do.
Furthermore, such activities can wrap around any aspect of assessment. This provides a huge confidence boost and enables pupils to become not just skilled test-takers, useful though this might be (McDonough, 1995), but expert examiners for themselves. In this way, summative assessment can be very formative (Jones and Wiliam, 2008) and can generate creative and contingent use of language as well as consolidating known structures and vocabulary.
The student teachers felt that intensive periods of challenging revision could be integrated more regularly into normal MFL teaching and learning as part of pupils' self-guided learning and assessment awareness. In such a way, revision is not confined to an end of year activity but becomes a central driver and enabler of learning in a continuous cycle of revision.

After Facebook, Twitter and Google officially announced a ban on crypto ads in wake of the money laundering and increasing fraudulent schemes online, now it seems things are going the other way round.
The Russian Association of Crypto-Currency and Block-Finish (RACIB) and industry associations in Korea and China are planning to sue Google, Twitter, Facebook and Yandex for putting a ban on crypto ads, RACIB head Yuri Pripachkin told the Blockchain RF-2018 congress. The parties intend to file suit in May.
Pripachkin tells about how detrimental the ban on crypto ads have been for the cryptocurrency groups. He said the ban on Twitter caused a "special indignation at the crypto community." He said Twitter made a subscription available for its own cryptocurrency and banned all others.
He said the four companies' ban scheme has manipulated the market and has therefore, led to a "significant drop" in the market in recent months which is evident by Bitcoin's price drop over the last few months.
A new organization is being launched to include industry associations from Korea and China in the lawsuit – the Eurasian Association of Blockbearers. RACIB, Korea Venture Business Associations and the Chinese association of crypto investors LBTC have all signed the agreement creating the new association.
This new association will channel various funds to file the suit in a U.S. state. Pripachkin says that the suit will be filed not only against the organizations, but their shareholders. If the shareholders and managers of these companies own cryptocurrencies which they use for personal gain, the shareholders are subject to prosecution, he said.
Twitter Takes Similar Move After Facebook, Google
It was 26th March onwards, when Twitter officially banned crypto based ads, ICO ads and token sale ads completely. While cryptocurrency exchanges and wallet advertising is now restricted to public companies listed on certain major stock markets.
However, Twitter ban does not apply to cryptocurrency exchanges registered and licensed to operate by the Financial Services Agency (FSA).
The world's largest online advertising provider, Google, announced its ban on crypto based ads which will come into effect in June.
KryptoMoney.com publishes latest news and updates about Bitcoin, Blockchain Technology ,Cryptocurrencies and upcoming ICO's.

By Allen Jones/TEXPERS Communications Manager
If Texas were to stop granting corporate subsidies, earnings would be enough to pay roughly 66.3 percent of the taxpayer cost required to fund retirement benefits for current public employees belonging to the main state-administered public pensions, according to a new report from Good Jobs First, a national policy resource center.
Not everyone is in agreement with the report's findings, however. Some trade associations and corporate development officers fear that ending corporate subsidies will damage Texas' reputation as a business-friendly state and ruin its economic standing.
According to Good Jobs First, state legislators are working to increase contributions to ensure funding stability of the state's pension systems. To do that, however, some are advocating for a reduction of benefits or moving workers to less-secure 401(k)-like plans. During Texas' recent legislative session, Sen. Paul Bettencourt, R-Houston, authored a bill that would have studied the cost-effectiveness of implementing a hybrid retirement plan for newly hired state employees and teachers, partially moving them away from more secure defined benefits. Although Bettencourt's bill died, Greg LeRoy, executive director of Good Jobs First, says these types of legislative actions taken while giving tax breaks to major corporations are not sound value statements.
Before dismantling secure retirement for teachers, corrections officers and other public employees, Good Jobs First indicates there are state expenditures, such as the costs of corporate subsidies, which should be considered as a source of pension funding. The Lone Star State isn't alone in facing the threat of public pension dismantlement.
"In statehouses across the country, public employees' retirements are often used as a bargaining chip when budgets are assembled," says Bailey Childers, executive director of the National Public Pension Coalition, in a news release regarding Good Jobs First's new report. "States will often defer, skip, or underfund pension systems while handing out hundreds of millions of dollars in corporate welfare. State lawmakers need to put their priorities in order and stop the giveaways and protect their employees' retirements."
A subsidy is a benefit given to a business in the form of a cash payment or a tax reduction, usually to remove some burden. A subsidy may lower tax burdens placed on struggling industries or encourage new developments by providing financial support for the endeavors.
"Market forces are causing states to grossly overspend on individual company 'megadeals like Foxconn, Apple and Amazon's HQ2," LeRoy says in a news release announcing the center's new report. "Our national economy would be stronger if those funds were used for retirement security and other investments that benefit all employers, such as education and infrastructure."
Good Jobs First compared pension costs in Texas and 11 other states with the amount of revenue those states lose each year through economic development subsidies offered to corporations as well as the tax preferences and accounting loopholes used by companies. Among the 12 states, more than $20.4 billion is given away in tax breaks and loopholes. A better deal, according to the nonpartisan Good Jobs First, would be to utilize the annual cost of these subsidies to cover the entirety of most states' yearly pension system contributions, which provide retirement security for millions of public employees. The study was done in conjunction with the National Public Pension Coalition, a nonprofit group that works to protect the financial security of working families that rely on public pensions.
Texas Subsidies
In Texas, a lack of a state corporate income tax means there are no income tax credits or exclusions, which are often the most significant expense in other states. Despite that, "the total of corporate subsidies, official tax breaks and unofficial tax dodging amount to about $1.2 billion per year," according to the report's Texas-specific findings.
The report, released in October, bases its data on 2015 financial statements from the state's main public retirement plans: the Texas Employees' Retirement System, the Teachers Retirement System of Texas, the Law Enforcement and Custodial Officers Fund and the Judicial Retirement Fund, Plan II. The financial reports indicate annual employer normal costs of $871.1 million for ERS, $957 million for TRS, $31 million for LECOF and $17.1 million for the Judicial Fund. The figures, the most recent available, indicate how much is being taken each year to provide benefits for current government employees.
The totals equal to an annual normal cost of $1.82 billion. The center compared the annual normal cost to the financial losses resulting from economic development subsidies and other special tax provisions, which equals to about $1.2 billion per year.
"Corporate interests in the state continue to benefit from generous corporate subsidies and other tax breaks," according to the Good Jobs First report. "And in February 2017, Gov. Greg Abbott asked the Legislature to increase funding for the state's economic development subsidies by $200 million."
During 2015, two large state-authorized property tax programs kept more than $400 million in property taxes from flowing from private developers to local governments. A state economic development act appraised value limitation agreement allowed businesses to skip out on paying $221.5 million. The Texas Tax Increment Financial Act siphoned $186.7 million in property tax revenue from public accounts to benefits private development in tax increment financing districts. Other subsidy programs include Sales Tax Refunds on Enterprise Projects, which resulted in a loss of $44.2 million in taxes, and film production subsidies, which cost roughly $16 million.
Local economic development corporations spent $139.1 million in direct business incentives and $264 million to retire debt service of projects, all primarily sourced from sales tax revenues. Several industries also benefit from targeted tax breaks. Internet companies do not pay sales taxes on servers and equipment used in data centers, which cost the state $9.2 million in taxes. Special tax rates on new or enhanced recovery oil wells cost the state treasury $41.9 million. Other oil-related tax exemptions lose an additional $36 million. Also, the Texas Research and Development tax credit, available across industries, cut state tax revenue by $3 million.
Oil and gas producers also benefit from generous tax subsidies. However, according to Good Jobs First, the cost of those subsidies are not regularly reported.
Among retailers, a one-year Temporary Permissive Alternative Rates, cost the state $232 million in lost revenue in 2015. Another rule that allows retailers to keep a portion of the sales tax revenues they collect from customers, known as a vendor discount, cost the state roughly $251 million in tax revenues.
Also, Texas is among the few states that allow corporations to allocate taxable income by methods other than the traditional payroll, property and sales weighting. It results in lost tax revenue, according to Good Jobs First.
The report also recognizes that cities like Houston and Dallas are struggling to fund public pensions of local police, firefighters and municipal employees. Although Good Jobs First's new report only focuses on state subsidies, LeRoy, the center's executive director, suggests local governments should ask if their giveaways to corporations are the best way to provide services while fulfilling promises of secure retirements to their residents.
Recurring Theme
LeRoy spoke to TEXPERS about the new report and says he isn't naïve enough to think legislators in Texas will read the report and immediately change course and do away with corporate subsidies. However, he hopes lawmakers will begin to understand how tax breaks are working to undermine their budgets and are eroding the standard of living for retirees.
"If you look at the rest of our publications, we've published almost more than 100 studies over almost 20 years now, it's a recurring theme that these economic development tax breaks have really gotten to be too expensive and they are having collateral damage on state and local economies because they are undermining things that really do help grow the economy and really do benefit every family and employers," LeRoy says. "By totaling up these numbers and juxtaposing them to things that might better help the economy, including better retirement incomes, we are trying to draw attention to better things to do with the money."
The biggest corporate subsidy beneficiaries used to be manufacturing and industrial corporations, but are now joined by financial service corporations, biotech companies, research labs and large retailers. Good Jobs First keeps a public list of corporations receiving subsidies at the state and federal level on its website. Sporting goods retailer Cabela's has received subsidies in a few places in Texas as have Walmart and Amazon.
Berkshire Hathaway is the state's top subsidy earner having received more than $802 million in state and local awards. Rounding out Texas' top 10 subsidy earners are Texas Instruments ($604.8 million), Exxon Mobil ($533.3 million), NRG Energy ($417.6 million), Samsung ($317 million), Amazon ($269 million), Saudi Arabian Oil Co. ($257.4 million), FedEx ($250 million), E.ON ($192.1 million), Toyota ($188.3 million).
Nathan Jensen, a professor in the Department of Government at the University of Texas at Austin, has written critically about one of Texas' more expensive programs, Chapter 313. The program, created by the state legislature in 2001, provides funding to local governments to allocate tax abatements to firms for economic development purposes. Under the program, school districts lose revenue due to tax abatements but are "made whole" by the state for the lost tax revenue, Jensen says. Estimates are that the state will be shelling out $1 billion per year by 2025 to make up for the lost revenue.
"This comes either at reduced money for other services or increased taxes in other ways to make up for this lost revenue," Jensen says.
According to Jensen's study, 85 to 90 percent of projects would have located in Texas anyway, regardless of the Chapter 313 program, and 80 percent of the program's dollars are lost revenue for the state's school finance system.
"This is touted as one of the most important incentive programs in the state and it has been associated with investments from companies like Samsung and Toyota," Jensen says. "This program, along with the Texas Enterprise Fund is the flagship programs funded by the state."
But how does Jensen actually know companies he studied actually would have built or relocated to Texas without the tax abatement program? It's a prediction. But there are a lot of smoking guns, he says.
"In some cases, companies openly admitted that they had already begun construction before applying for the incentives," he says. "This includes Caterpillar that has a YouTube video of their groundbreaking with then Gov. Rick Perry, before applying to Chapter 313, numerous wind farms that we have FAA data that their towers were already built before applying, to companies admitting in their application that they were only looking in Texas."
There is a lot of skepticism regarding corporate incentive programs. Many perceive the programs to be "corporate welfare," a transfer of wealth from taxpayers to companies that were already going to exist. Another issue opponents of corporate subsidies have is that these are high-cost programs targeted at a small number of companies.
And, corporate incentives, says LeRoy, almost never determine where a company builds or relocates. The reason, he says, is because IRS data that documents what companies spend money on, state and local taxes combined as a cost factor for the average company in America comes to less than 2 percent. The other 98 percent of cost structure, labor, occupancy, raw materials, logistics, input, energy, IT, CEO bonuses – numbers that vary a lot depending on the nature of the company – but are the numbers that determine where a company goes.
"It is the dirty little secret of economic development," says LeRoy, who authored the 2015 book, "The Great American Jobs Scam: Corporate Tax Dodging and the Myth of Job Creation." "It's what site developers don't want you to know, it's what politicians never seem to understand when they are negotiating. Look at the stump speech from the company's side of the table rather than the PR side of the table. There is no evidence that states curbing incentives or making incentives more transparent or accountable has ever harmed their business climate."
In fact, LeRoy says there are a growing number of examples of states successfully pulling back corporate incentive programs and doing just fine. And, he says, it is being done by left- and right-leaning legislatures. He points to California, Michigan and Florida as examples where legislators have proven that corporate subsidies have never mattered, to begin with.
Economic Development
Corporate subsidies do matter, says Tony Bennett, president of the Texas Association of Manufacturing. He views subsidies as economic development tools that attract businesses to the state and create jobs.
The trade association worked during the state's legislative session to ensure tax abatement and the state's Enterprise Fund produce returns for communities. According to a slideshow presentation, Bennett shared with TEXPERS, corporate subsidies "are critical because of Texas' high property tax rates." According to the association, Texas is among five states with the highest property tax rates.
The rewards are evident, Bennett says – communities remain competitive, multiple new jobs are created and immediate tax revenue comes from corporations as well as vendors and suppliers that follow most large corporations.
"There are immediate sales and franchise taxes produced by companies looking to relocate or build in Texas using corporate subsidies," he says. "Plus, there is philanthropy many corporations provide to their local communities. In addition to job creation, it is hardly corporate welfare."
Bennet says there is a multiplier effect when it comes to jobs created by large new corporations that build or relocate in the state. He points to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis data that allows legislators, investors, and economic development planners to assess the potential impact of various development projects.
"Look at petrochemical plants," Bennet says. "For every job, around 5 jobs are created. That is more people employed, more people spending money, and more people paying taxes. When an automobile manufacturer came to San Antonio, guess who came to town? A seat manufacture, a tire manufacturer. Transportation jobs were also created. None of that would have resulted without tax abatements that allowed Texas to be competitive to attract the automobile company."
In the manufacturing industry alone, Bennett's association represents more than 500 companies, including 70 of the state's largest employers. Manufacturers employ more than 866,000 people with an average compensation of more than $79,000 a year. Plus, Texas is the No. 1 exporting state for manufactured goods in the United States. That, Bennett says, was achieved with the help of tax abatements.
"Without tax abatements, Texas' aerospace, chemical and manufacturing sectors would just be on the losing end competitively," Bennet says. "Competition is real and it is not going away. Companies will build someplace else. I've sat in their boardrooms and have heard first-hand how important these subsidies are to attracting them to our state and communities."

The summary given by Dorrance Bookstore for the science fiction novel Astro Streak by Kenneth Musser reads as follows:
In the not-so-distant future Ken Kee, the dynamic developer of the Astro Streak system, devises a technique to use laser cannon and cosmic ray bombardment to make artificial aurorae around the Earth and to use them for communication, display, and entertainment. A visionary president encourages him to develop the technique and to expand it to the other planets. When all the planets have their aurorae, the display attracts the attention of the galactic aliens. Earth is finally in communication with outside intelligent life and has the chance to join the intergalactic community.
And from an objective perspective, that's exactly what the story's about. Now, here's the Rhapsodist summary of Astro Streak:
A pair of identical voices shout the same nonsense ad nauseum in a story that's only thirty-six pages long.
Hmm, got the job done in only one sentence. Perhaps there's some good money to be made in summarizing.
There are two characters in this story: the engineer Ken Kee and the unnamed president of his company, United Transacta of America. The first chapter is just Ken explaining the process by which he creates aurora on other planets, which is supposed to be the start of some great designer trend. Then the rest of the story is just them going planet by planet and repeating this process (although we're only told this, never shown), while exchanging rapid-fire slogans. And then the two characters just discuss at the end how they've attracted the attention of some alien civilizations and are now really, really living well in this galactic society that the author makes no attempt to explain or describe.
I am not at all kidding when I say that the most frequently used words in this story are "astro," "beam," "streamer," "cyber," "vanguard," and "visionary." Here's a sample of dialogue to better illustrate my point:
"Better technology for a better future," commented Ken. "Press the zoom button for a clearer view."
"Amazing," remarked the president. "A remarkable sense of adventure. An exciting opportunity with exciting new developments."
"It was a beam, a beam, and another beam: An important beaming solution," replied Ken. "Laser trails for and with electron and proton particles."
"A visually spectacular and stunning adventure," stated the president. "Again on the edge with variations and fluctuations. Something to treasure. The cyber-art tech of the cyber-art craft works here and out there, too" (Musser 19-20).
As out of context as that passage may seem, it's disturbingly commonplace. The story just rambles on without pause and without much background. The reader has no sense of who these characters are and no sense of conflict that would make this narrative an actual story. It's just a series of episodes of experiments that apparently went really, really well, and isn't it all lovely? On more than one occasion, I found myself thinking that this is a daydream for some poor engineer who might be hoping that the company executives will one day appreciate his "vision" with all the enthusiasm shown by the president in this story.
I have to say that Astro Streak has the makings of a story, but never seems to actually go anywhere. And while there are plenty of stories that do just that and still work, this is one tale that doesn't.
I received a complimentary copy of Astro Streak as a member of the Dorrance Book Review Team. Visit dorrancebookstore.com to find out how you can become a member of the Book Review Team.

It Was Just a Floor Mat After All…
I woke up one morning a few years ago feeling really guilty.
I groggily moved through my morning routine feeling awful about throwing a childish tantrum the night before about how I couldn't keep the house clean.
It had been a LONG couple of months – Jeff had been overwhelmed and busy with life, family, and work, and I was gladly picking up the pieces so that he wouldn't have to worry about it.
But I was tired, and I let it get to me.
I had found our cute little floor mat in our bathroom sopping wet and crumpled up in the middle of the bathroom floor – the one that I love to dry my feet on – and a few months of exhaustion unleashed itself on this poor bath mat, which I snatched up and threw – sopping wet – across the garage at the washing machine.
Jeff watched the whole thing stunned, but I was too tired to say anything. Instead, I crawled into bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, after washing and getting dressed, I found Jeff to apologize for throwing our innocent bath mat across the garage. The poor thing didn't deserve it.
It was just a floor mat, after all.
Before I could say anything though, he said, "Did you see the house?"
I stared blankly at him, then gazed around at the living room expecting to find the still lingering remnants of a birthday party from weeks before and a pile of bags leftover from a road trip from a month before.
It was gone. My eyes adjusted and I stood confused. Why did the house look so different?
And then it dawned on me. OMG it was clean!!
Jeff, apparently, had been unable to fall asleep that night.
In the morning, he had to take his brother to the airport at 4:00am, and when he returned to the house after dropping him off, instead of landing right back in bed, he stayed up and cleaned for the next three hours.
He did EVERYTHING. He picked up the birthday party, did away with the road trip piles, and filled the dishwasher with every dish and coffee mug that he could find that had lodged itself on our side tables, closets, bathrooms, and desks of the house.
He swept the floors and shined the kitchen counters. He scrubbed the bathroom and threw away the random produce that was making a perma-home on top of the microwave. He cleaned up his desk in the office, and worked through the 'to do at some point' stack of mail, putting invitations and birthdays and showers on the calendar as he went along.
He organized his scrap woodpile and swept out the garage. He cleaned up his workbench and put away his tools. He washed his dirty workshop rags and did a load of excess linens that had been waiting in the 'when I have time' pile… including the wet floor mat from the bathroom.
All before 7:00am.
All because he knew that my love language is Acts of Service.
And yes, I felt loved. Mucho loved.
And the piles of random life that were making themselves feel a little too at home in the corners of our house were eradicated.
We were back to a house that felt like a refuge from the worries of life instead of a symptom of it.
We were back to us.
And that's why I felt so loved. Jeff can always bring us back to 'us' when I need it the most.

This morning finds me in Pittsburgh to attend the 105th annual convention for the International Association of Industrial Accident Boards and Commissions (IAIABC). The last few days of travel have left little time for writing – which is odd considering we are in a push to reach the 6,000,000-reader mark in the next week or so. You would expect we should actually give you something to read.
I just wanted to make a quick post this morning to draw your attention to an article on our site today by Liz Carey. In "Injured Worker Who Rejected WC Benefits Must Reimburse Health Insurer," she tells the story of a man who was injured while riding his motorcycle between two work locations in the middle of the workday. He was severely injured in an accident on that commute. Despite his employer filing for workers' comp and his claim being accepted, he rejected the benefits because, on the ride, he had meandered on various roads taking advantage of a beautiful day. He did not therefore believe that the injury was work related.
All was well and good until his health insurer went to court to be relieved of the obligation to pay for his injuries, and the court ordered him to reimburse the insurer $500,000 for his treatment.
We will probably come back and visit this topic again, as it is not often we find a story where someone made what they thought was an honest call and got punished for the effort. Usually we talk about people fighting for benefits who have been denied, not the other way around.
And for some of us who may have had those borderline injuries and opted just to go the healthcare route, it should give pause. You might want to rethink that strategy. More soon; until then have a great day, and should you be awarded any benefits in workers' comp, you'd best take them.

(Yicai Global) July 27 -- China will import more than USD8 trillion (CNY54 trillion) in goods over the next 5 years, presenting immense business opportunities for countries worldwide, including Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, collectively known as BRICS, China's Vice Minister of Commerce Wang Shouwen said at the briefings for the Seventh Meeting of BRICS Trade Ministers on Tuesday.
The meeting will take place from Aug. 1 to Aug. 2 in Shanghai.
China will further promote market liberalization and expand imports, including those from BRICS members, Wang said.
"We look forward to the active participation of BRICS countries in enabling more of their products to enter the Chinese market to achieve mutual benefits," Wang said of the China International Import Fair, to be held from 2018.
BRICS economies accounted for 23 percent of the world's total economic output in 2016, but only made up 16 percent of global trade, 16 percent of inbound foreign investments and 12 percent of outbound overseas investments.
"The data shows that BRICS countries have great potential in both trade and investment," Wang said.
The five countries held economic and trade negotiations at the start of the year, but we'll have to wait to find out the result of the talks, a source familiar with the discussions told Yicai Global.
Economic and trade cooperation among BRICS countries is progressing smoothly, said a senior official who has participated in international trade negotiations for many years.
Key issues on the agenda at the meeting are likely to be coordinating divergent positions of global economic governance, safeguarding the multilateral trading system, resisting protectionist trade from the US and safeguarding the sustainable growth of developing countries.
This meeting will be the first to integrate economic and technical cooperation among member states into the agenda on trade and economic cooperation.
"This will fundamentally enhance the ability of the countries to develop trade investments, help members accelerate their integration into global value chains and rise upstream to better share the fruits of economic growth and globalization," said Wang Shouwen.
Consultation is in progress on the BRICS e-commerce initiative and the BRICS electronic port network, Zhang Shaogang, director of the commerce ministry's international affairs department said.
China expects the meeting to make positive progress on the establishment of the electronic port network and hopes to work with other members to enhance data sharing and capacity-building in port construction and operate a single-window system with paperless trade to upgrade the interconnection of supply chains, Zhang said.

A mechanical garage door is a convenient way for a vehicle to enter and exit the home. Couple that with sensors and it becomes a work of modern innovation. A garage door sensor is more of a safety feature than anything.
The secret to the definition is in the word. A garage door sensor makes itself useful by sensing when an object is near the ground where the door comes down. This is supposed to prevent the door from shutting on any person, animal, or object.
There may be times when a garage door sensor is negatively affected by something external. Is sunlight one of these things? To answer that, it's first important to know how a garage door sensor works.
How a Garage Door Sensor Works
Knowing how a garage door sensor works allows a homeowner to be watchful for what might affect it. DoItYourself has a wonderful explanation:
"When the device detects any person or object in the path of a closing garage door, it signals the motor to stop the downward action and switch the motion into reverse to stop the obstacle being crushed. The sensors are located low on each side of the garage door, and the 2 beams meet performing a connection. Should something block the beam, they set the garage doors into a reverse motion to keep the door from hitting or crushing the object."
This explanation shows exactly why a garage door sensor is primarily a safety feature. Cars would likely be one of the most damaged objects without a sensor. Some types of garage doors might even be damaged due to the door trying to continue closing if an object blocks the path of closing.
Sunlight and Garage Door Sensors
Garage door sensors use infrared light. The sun also carries infrared light which is more powerful than the light of the sensors. Automated Garage Door Systems explains why this happens:
"When the lumens of light from the sun surpass that of the infrared sensor light, the sensors are not able to signal one another."
This is why a garage door might stop closing if strong sunlight is shining on the eye of a garage door sensor. So the answer to the question is yes. Sunlight can affect a garage door sensor. Now that it's understood why this happens, homeowners can look for ways to alleviate the issue.
Tips and Tricks
There are a few different methods for fixing this particular sensor problem. Here are four:
- Cutout cardboard and secure it around the sensors
- Purchase sun shields that attach to the sensors
- Move the sensors into the garage and out of the sun
- Switch sides the sides of the sensors
Putting cardboard, like a toilet paper tube, around the sensor will block much of the sunlight. But avoid blocking the actual sensor part with it. Sun shields are a similar, more visually-appealing option. They are made specifically for garage door sensors.
Moving the sensors further into the garage and out of the sunlight is a common sense solution. Another possible fix is switching the sides of the sensors. One of them transmits and the other receives. Switching them might fix the problem.
If after troubleshooting with these suggestions you're still unable to fix your sensor, we recommend seeking guidance from a professional technician. This will save you time, reduce stress, and can ultimately bring you closer to finding a solution.
Unfortunately, in more serious cases, you just may have a faulty sensor on your hands that needs replacing.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs
Maslow's hierarchy of needs is a theory in psychologyproposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 paper "A Theory of Human Motivation" in Psychological Review.[2]Maslow subsequently extended the idea to include his observations of humans' innate curiosity. His theories parallel many other theories of human developmental psychology, some of which focus on describing the stages of growth in humans. Maslow used the terms "physiological", "safety", "belongingness" and "love", "esteem", "self-actualization" and "self-transcendence" to describe the pattern that human motivations generally move through.
Maslow studied what he called exemplary people such as Albert Einstein, Jane Addams, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Frederick Douglass rather than mentally ill orneurotic people, writing that "the study of crippled, stunted, immature, and unhealthy specimens can yield only a cripple psychology and a cripple philosophy."[3]Maslow studied the healthiest 1% of the college student population.[4]

Dew heater controller or not?
Posted 06 December 2019 - 01:53 PM
Posted 06 December 2019 - 01:57 PM
Unless you are an electrical engineer, make it easy on yourself and just get a simple controller. Not too difficult to find a nice, used, 2-4 channel one in the classifieds.

How much heat does individual dew heater produce without controller? Just plugging it to power supply insteaf of through controller?
The objective is to keep the temperature of the exposed optic just above the temperature at which dew forms. Ideally, the controller should contain a feedback loop along with temperature sensor to help regulate how much energy you actually need.
Edited by Ishtim, 06 December 2019 - 02:16 PM.

My 8" diameter and 4" diameter dew heaters draw about 1A and 0.5A ... so 12W and 6W. That would make the optics too hot without a controller for most occasions. And kill the battery if that is applicable.

A controller will extend the battery service life in a session, allowing you to use a smaller battery. That alone made it worthwhile for me. A controller also allows you to shape the heat produced to the session's conditions. Some nights need more energetic response than others. Too much heat is not better and, as above, a dew strip running "wide open" will drain more power than I initially thought.
For refractor objective dew strips I use the simplest R-Sky controller and run an eyepiece strip off the 2nd output. Single controller, dual outputs works well as the requirements put on the strips are w/in a narrow enough window of each other.
That is not true of the active dew control on my Dobs where heaters on the secondary, eyepiece and Telrad have different power needs and also different hierarchy of value to the scope's use. More tailored and flexible control is needed.

I use an LED dimmer switch I picked up on Amazon for $3. It's called Pulse Wave Modulating, meaning it sends full 12 volt power at repeating cycles from low to high. I had to add my own RCA jack. I generally start at 1/4 power and adjust up or down during my session.

Another vote for a simple LED dimmer except that you may want to screen & ground it quite carefully to stop the square wave interfering with a CCD.

And, fast music can actually increase your heart rate, breathing, and high blood pressure, while slower music tends to have the opposite impact.
While the effects of music on individuals are not fully comprehended, studies have revealed that when you hear music to your preference, the brain in fact launches a chemical called dopamine that has positive results on mood.

Minimizes anxiety. In research studies of people with cancer, listening to music integrated with standard care lowered anxiety compared to those who received basic care alone.
Improves workout. Studies recommend that music can enhance aerobic workout, boost psychological and physical stimulation, and increase total efficiency.
Enhances memory. Research has actually shown that the recurring aspects of rhythm and melody assist our brains form patterns that enhance memory. In a research study of stroke survivors, listening to music helped them experience more spoken memory, less confusion, and better concentrated.
Eases discomfort. In studies of clients recovering from surgical treatment, those who listened to music before, throughout, or after surgery had less pain and more overall complete satisfaction compared with clients who did not listen to music as part of their care.
