Anthony Weiner is shipping up to Massachusetts (to serve his time)
By GERSON BORRERO
The Boston Red Sox aren't in baseball's Fall Classic this year, so as a consolation prize New York City is sending them a lifelong New York Mets fan – he'll live at a federal prison in Ayer, Massachusetts, an hour drive from Boston. Anthony Weiner has to report to the federal medical center on the morning of Nov. 6, according to two bochincheros. The convicted former congressman and disruptive 2013 New York City mayoral candidate will join the all-male population of more than 1,000 prisoners.
Weiner, who had a reputation for being a vociferous tough guy, found a way to alleviate his concerns about the things many first-time felons worry about, like being raped in prison. Our source told us that Weiner hired at least two "prison consultants" (damn, there are consultants for everything) that have answered all of his questions about what to expect once he's an inmate. He's also spoken to other former federal prisoners. However, one well-informed bochinchero tells us that Devens, the federal medical center, "will not be the Club Fed type of low-security facility. ... Devens has inmates of all security classifications." On the other hand, Weiner may feel somewhat safe since Devens doesn't have "the worst of the worst" criminals among its prisoners. It's assumed that Weiner will be getting treatment for his sexting compulsion. As described by the main bochinchero here: "It's a pretty good designation for him. It's known as a safe place and has a great gym and exercise facility."
RELATED: The rise and fall of Anthony Weiner
It also has an area to play floor hockey. It won't be like playing at Chelsea Piers, where the ex-político played, but given Weiner's love for the game, it's a sure bet he'll have a stick in his hands chasing pucks when he's not getting therapy. This all sounds pretty neat for a guy convicted of a crime – but we think he should still plan to sleep with one eye open at least for the start of his 21-month sentence.
Remember, gente, it's all bochinche until it's confirmed.
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the date on which Weiner must report to the federal medical center.

Franklin Sandoval
Research Director, Empire Center for Public Policy
THIS YEAR'S RANK: 97 CHANGE: -4
LAST YEAR'S RANK: 97
As founder and research director of the Empire Center for Public Policy, E.J. McMahon is a go-to expert on budget plans and policy proposals. His organization promotes greater transparency, accountability and fiscal responsibility in state government, which often puts him at odds with lawmakers and the governor. McMahon previously worked as a journalist in Albany, as an Assembly Republican staffer and a budget adviser for almost 30 years, giving him great insight into the goings-on in the Capitol.


Following on from last year and our light-hearted examination of a politically correct Christmas, this year we will ask: What is the point of Christmas? Weighing in on this emotive issue will be CIS researchers Jessica Brown and Luke Malpass, and the new addition to the CIS team, Reverend Peter Kurti, who is currently working on the Religion and the Free Society program.
Join us for a celebration of Christmas as we toast the spirit of peace and goodwill.


How can I keep up with my loved ones? Many of my clients face this dilemma. They grew up without personal computers or even, believe it or not, cell phones. I thought smart phones were the phones with buttons to push instead of a dial to turn. Nevertheless, if you want to keep up with the younger generation you have to learn to stay in touch using technology. There is absolutely nothing to fear.
Back to the fear. The reason many seniors I talk to stay away from social media is that they are just not comfortable using technology period. Whether it's a "smart phone" or a PC, they stay away. Let me put your mind at ease. Again, there is nothing to fear. We live in a county with tremendous resources. Gwinnett County even has classes designed to get attendees comfortable with technology and computer use. These classes are restricted to those aged 50+ so the people you are in class with are like you. Many are starting out with little to no knowledge about using technology in today's world. Classes are taught through the Gwinnett Senior Learning Center and start in a few weeks. You can call (770)564-4699 to find out which classes are offered at each location. Classes are offered at Bethesda Senior Center in Lawrenceville and George Pierce Park Community Center in Suwanee.
What I hear so often from my clients is that they lament the loss of contact with family. I encourage you to take the initiative. Embrace technology and accept that the world is a vastly different place than it was when we grew up. Your life will be enriched as will the lives of your family members by using technology rather than fearing it.


Today's growing businesses demand and rely more on their network to carry out mission-critical business activities. Companies are putting more network traffic and applications on their Ethernet infrastructure. For example, the increasing deployments of VoIP phones and IP cameras require more than simple plug-and-play connectivity. It needs the network intelligence to separate the voice and video traffic from data, and prioritize them accordingly. Additionally, Internet-based applications such as Hotmail and Google Calendaring have made keeping the network up a business-critical need. However, companies do not necessarily have more money or advanced training to deal with complex managed switches. The NETGEAR ProSAFE Plus Switches meet this growing need by providing fundamental network features that will help optimize the performance of business networks. ProSAFE Plus Switches also offer traffic monitoring for users to observe traffic behavior. If there are connectivity issues, these switches can identify and even locate connection problems via cable diagnostic test. To optimize traffic through the switches, ProSAFE Plus Switches off er both port and tag-based prioritization to keep latency-sensitive traffic moving ahead of less critical packets. Also, ProSAFE Plus Switches offer port and 802.1Q-based VLAN as a means of improving security and network performance. ProSAFE Plus Switches are an upgrade from the plug-and-play Unmanaged Switch, delivering great value for empowering your network, delivering great value to the end user.

Important styles of interior decoration
product man
Understanding decorative styles is one of the most important and principled tasks in choosing home decoration. Knowing exactly what features each style has and what rules it is designed with can be effective in designing your home decoration correctly and legally.
14 important styles of interior decoration
Iranian interior decoration style
Iranian style interior decoration has features that have a special value. Features such as proper design, accurate calculations, correct form of covering, observance of technical and scientific issues in the building, high porches, tall columns and finally various decorations, each of which at the same time simply represents the glory of the Iranian style.
Minimalism interior decoration style
History of minimalist interior decoration style (simplicity)
Minimalism is a school of art that bases its work and expression on the simplicity of expression and simple methods devoid of the usual philosophical or quasi-philosophical complexity.
Simplicity can be attributed to post-October Russian Russian artists who were structuralists with a tendency toward summaries and geometric shapes. Like Malovich with "White on White," the experiences of Russian artists in the 1950s and 1960s influenced European and American artists, such as the collection of young white-collar paintings by the young Robert Rashnberg and the monochrome works of Yves Klein; The mining was influenced by Robert Riemann's copper and the work of Agnes Martin, a combination of subtle grooves on a monochrome background.
Simplicity is used in various forms of design and art, especially in the visual arts and music. Simplification emerged in Western art after World War II and was further developed by American visual artists in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Simplists believe that by eliminating the deceptive presence of composition and application of simple and often industrial items that are geometrically and very simplified, the pure quality of color, form, space and material can be achieved. Artists include David Smith, Donald Judd, Ernest Troy, Sol Levitt, Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Robert Ryman, Ronald Bladen, and Richard Serra.
Features of minimalist design style and decoration

I rarely go to 50% off days at thrift stores anymore. The crowds are not worth the hassle. On Memorial Day, I threw caution to the win and decided to check out the sale at Park Ave Thrift. Not only did I score some major finds but the store wasn't super crowded either! My total price was $22 and I found vintage sequins, Joe's Jeans, and more! I'm under my thrift store $3/item budget and my haul has a retail value over $200. Let us review.
1) A humongous scarf. I've never come across a really big scarves good for head wraps. I normally use fabric from my stash. I was able to make this one into a kimono too by tying the ends together. I love the duo functionality.
2) Vintage sequins. You probably thought I completed my sequins phase. Nope. Still love. The colored sequins on this one was definitely a keeper.
3 & 4) Two pairs of jeans. I went down the jeans aisle in search of gray jeans. They've been on my wishlist and it was here that the thrift gods smiled upon me and led me to New. Joe's. Grey. Jeans. In my size! Retail price is $165 and only $3 thrifted. While going through the aisle I also found new Levi's demi curve and they work well with my curves!
5 & 6) Two Dresses. The dress on the left is summertime easy dressing with lots of color. The one on the right is for refashion purposes. I liked the neckline and waist on them. We'll see what happens.
7) Ocasion t-shirt. I wasn't too sure about this t-shirt until I tried it on. It boho chic and doesn't really define my style. Does it? I don't know. Who cares. I liked the color combination of neon green and blue. When I tried it on, I loved how it looked on me.
8 & 9) Gingham button up and Parameter apothecary skirt. I'm tried to add more red to my closet and a simple gingham button up felt like a good classic piece to have. I like the high waist and front snap closure on the skirt and it made my final cut after I tried it on. It retailed $98 at Anthropologie.
Wow! It's a few years since I took a trip to the USA and these amazing prices make me want to head back asap, even the cheapest charity/thrift shops over here in the UK don't come close. Great haul!
You find the most amazing clothing in your thrift stores, Troy!
I love your finds and your budget goal! Those gray joe's jeans are fabulous!!
Great haul! I'm loving the gingham shirt and skirt combination!
What lovely gems you've found! You definitely scored!

Spiritual Meaning of Comets: 3 Significant Signs
Since the first of our distant ancestors emerged into human consciousness, we have gazed up at the cosmos and wondered on its mysteries.
For most of history, the sky was the primary way of navigation. But it has always been much more than that.
History is filled with accounts of the arrival of comets and the events that coincided with them.
With the arrival of the comet, we see the effect it has on the lives of the people recording it. In every culture in every corner of the planet, people have always studied the sky for passing comets.
But what has been discovered? What spiritual meaning can be found in the arrival of a comet in the sky?
The arrival of a comet is most often associated with death and destruction. Luckily, this is not to be taken literally.
While the comet may foretell the death of someone important, it is far more likely to signify the end of something less tangible.
Blue Star Spiritual Meaning - Fresh Start For Earth
Wanderers vs. Starseeds: What are the Differences?
The Flower of Life Spiritual Meaning: Symbolism
Meaning Of Peacock Feather - Fertility, Beauty And…
A better way to describe it would be an ending to something, perhaps a relationship, a job, or even a way of thinking.
It also serves to remind us of the vastness of our universe and to remind us of our own mortality on the physical plane.
The comet's arrival also signals a period of upheaval, the time after the death of the old things but before the birth of the new.
Our lives may be thrown into a period of limbo, a time where we feel uncertain about our path and reflect on our past mistakes and current shortcomings.
We can become unsure of ourselves where before we had certainty, upsetting the established order in our lives. Perhaps we are faced with decisions that seem too difficult to make, choices that overwhelm us.
It reminds us that we are not infallible, that we should remain humble and in a constant state of self-reflection on our path to spiritual enlightenment.
Finally, the arrival of a comet signals a rebirth within us, new beginnings from which we can begin the next part of our life journey.
We have witnessed the death of old things, ideas and patterns in our lives. We have experienced a period of upheaval, where we are unsure of all the things we were once so certain of, and we have taken time to evaluate the path we were on.
Now is the time to start on a new path with the clarity that is reborn within us, as certainty and self-possession are reignited in our soul.
We must forgive ourselves our past mistakes and accept them as having passed. We must recognise our own shortcomings and decide to address them.
Now we must embark on this new journey, realigned with our soul, towards our true destination.
The comet serves as a reminder that all things are in transit on their own journey. We cannot forget to keep moving forward on our own.

Home/Hydrogen Market News/Industrial/Green Hydrogen International announces Hydrogen City in Texas
Green Hydrogen International announces Hydrogen City in Texas
Hydrogen City project is positioned near low-cost renewable resources, salt domes, and proximity to the port of Corpus Christi.
Ethan Mandel Follow on Twitter Send an email 4 March 2022
Green Hydrogen International (GHI) has unveiled plans to create the world's largest green hydrogen production and storage hub in South Texas.
Hydrogen City, Texas will be an integrated green hydrogen production, storage, and transport hub growing to 60 GW in size and producing over 2.5 billion kg/year of green hydrogen.
The project is centred around a hydrogen storage facility in the Piedras Pintas Salt Dome located in Duval County. Pipelines will deliver the green hydrogen to Corpus Christi and Brownsville, where it will be turned into green ammonia, sustainable aviation fuel and other products or delivered by pipeline directly to hydrogen power plants and other users around the state.
The project will be powered by 60 GW of behind the meter solar and wind power with additional renewable energy drawn from the ERCOT grid during low prices.
The project will be built in phases, with the first phase expected to commence operations in 2026, consisting of 2 GW of production and two storage caverns at the Piedras Pintas salt dome.
Eventually, over 50 caverns can be created at the Piedras Pintas salt dome, providing up to 6 TWh of energy storage and turning the dome into a major green hydrogen storage hub.
Australian based renewable energy developer Energy Estate assists GHI in developing Hydrogen City.
GHI is in negotiations with end-use options for green hydrogen. Green ammonia can be exported to Asia. Japanese and Korean companies can be interesting partners in this project, given their desire to shift to green ammonia. Green ammonia for the fertiliser market is another potential market, where fertiliser produced from green hydrogen can help remove unexpected price volatility.
GHI is in discussions with potential off-takers of green hydrogen as a feedstock for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). GHI believes Corpus Christi is well placed to become a major SAF production hub. It is looking at combining hydrogen with CO2 at the Port of Brownsville to create a green methane rocket fuel for launch operations in South Texas.
H2 can also be used as a natural gas substitute at power plants. Over 4 GW of new gas power plants have been proposed in the US to burn a combination of hydrogen and natural gas.

Der Aalemannkanal () ist ein Stichkanal der Berliner Oberhavel. Er liegt im Ortsteil Hakenfelde des Bezirks Spandau. Die Landesschifffahrtsverordnung Berlin verzeichnet den Kanal als schiffbare Landeswasserstraße. Die Wasserfahrzeuge dürfen eine Länge von 67 Meter und eine Breite von 8,20 Meter nicht überschreiten.

Das rund 700 Meter lange Gewässer zieht sich vom Havelufer schnurgerade nach Westen bis zur Niederneuendorfer Allee am Spandauer Forst. Beide Uferseiten sind von einem schmalen Grünstreifen eingefasst und öffentlich zugänglich. Am Südufer schließen sich Kleingartenkolonien und eine kleine Grünanlage an. Parallel zum Nordufer verläuft die Straße Aalemannufer, die im westlichen Teil vom Wohnquartier Aalemannufer und im östlichen Teil von einer Siedlung des Sportvereins Spandau Aalemann e. V. begleitet wird. Am Ostende der Straße beziehungsweise des Kanals führt eine Autofähre zum gegenüberliegenden Havelufer in Tegelort.

Geschichte und Etymologie
Der Stichkanal wurde zwischen 1919 und 1921 zwischen den Rustwiesen, einem ehemaligen Sumpfgebiet entlang der Havel, und dem Spandauer Forst südöstlich des ehemaligen Teufelssees und heutigen Naturschutzgebiets Teufelsbruch und Nebenmoore zur Industrieansiedlung ausgehoben. Zuvor war der sogenannte "Rust" mit großen Sandmassen, die im Aushub des 1906 begonnenen Ausbaus des Hohenzollernkanals gewonnen wurden, aufgeschüttet und trockengelegt worden. Insbesondere ein Betonwerk und ein Sägewerk prägten die industrielle Zeit des Kanals. Die Werksanlagen sind im Jahr 2011 bis auf einige Uferbefestigungen und Anleger weitgehend rückgebaut.

Die Namengebung Aalemannkanal erfolgte 1922 durch das Bezirksamt Spandau nach einer Havelbucht, in der die Fischer früher dem Aalfang oblagen. Auf einem Stadtplan von 1897 trägt diese Bucht den Namen Aalemann und im gleichen Jahr gab sich ein neugegründeter Anglerverein den Namen Aalemann. Bereits 1590 ist ein Großgarnzug Alleman belegt. Die oft genannte Verbindung mit dem Aal gehört laut Brandenburgischem Namenbuch in den Bereich der Volksetymologie. Vielmehr gehöre der Name zu dem mittelniederdeutschen alleman = jeder und bedeute, dass jeder dort fischen durfte.

Wohnquartier Aalemannufer
Zwischen 1994 und 1997 entstand auf einem Gelände nördlich des Kanals das Wohnquartier Aalemannufer mit 536 Wohnungen. Laut Benedikt Hotze, Architekturkritiker und Redaktionsleiter des BauNetzes, prägt das Quartier eine zeitgenössische Interpretation traditioneller Siedlungsarchitektur mit einer klaren Zonierung von öffentlichem Straßenraum und halböffentlichem Hof, die teilweise eine eindeutige Reminiszenz an die Villenbaukunst der 1920er Jahre formuliere und sich in weiten Teilen der Formensprache der Klassischen Moderne verpflichtet fühle.

Hotze unterscheidet im Wohnquartier Aalemannufer drei Bautypen:
 Kubische Stadtvillen an der Kanalseite mit klarer kubischer Baukörpergliederung, horizontaler Bandgliederung und liegenden Fensterformaten, die vom zweiten bis vierten Geschoss abgetreppt sind, wodurch großzügige Südterrassen entstehen. Die viergeschossigen Bauten stammen von den Architekten Büttner, Neumann, Braun mit Martin und Pächter.
 Kompakt-kubische, fünfgeschossige Gebäuderiegel von David Chipperfield, in denen das dritte und vierte Geschoss durch eine Verkleidung mit grauen Faserzementplatten zu einem umlaufenden "Korsett" zusammengefasst sind. In dem Fassadenmaterial sieht Hotze eine Bereicherung gegenüber dem ansonsten in der Siedlung vorherrschenden weißen Putz.
 Fünfgeschossige Wohnzeilen der Darmstädter Architekten Kramm und Strigl, die mit einer dem eigentlichen Gebäuderiegel vorgelagerten, offenen Balkonzone auffallen. Das Stahlgestell der Balkonzone lasse mit individuell verschieblichen Gittersystemen eine ganz eigene, stets veränderliche Ordnungslogik entstehen. Im Verbund mit klaren Wohnungsgrundrissen und gestalterisch gelungenen Accessoires wie Dachaufbauten und Verbindungsbrücken sei hier eine vorbildliche Architektur entstanden, die von einer weit vom Berliner Bild des "steinernen Hauses" entfernten Architekturauffassung geprägt sei.

Im Gegensatz zur südlich gelegenen Wasserstadt Spandau, die nach Ansicht von Stadtplanern zu hoch und zu dicht bebaut sei, wurde das Quartier Aalemannufer gezielt individueller und kleinmaßstäblicher konzipiert.

Die Straßennamen in dem Wohnviertel, Zum Teufelsbruch, Am Erlengrund und Zu den Fichtewiesen, nehmen Flurbezeichnungen der Umgebung auf, wobei die beiden letzteren an zwei nahegelegene Exklaven auf Brandenburger Gebiet erinnern, die von 1961 bis 1988 vom damaligen West-Berlin getrennt waren.

Havelradweg und Aalemannkanalbrücke

Der Weg und die Straße um den Aalemannkanal waren bis 2010 Teil des Havelradwegs, der hier wiederum Teil des Radfernwegs Berlin–Kopenhagen, der Königin-Luisen-Route und des Havelseenwegs – Wanderweg 12 der 20 grünen Hauptwege Berlins – ist. Am 8. Juli 2010 wurde die Aalemannkanalbrücke eröffnet, die die Rad- und Fußwege an der Havelmündung über den Kanal führt und die Strecke um rund einen Kilometer verkürzt. Die Schrägseilbrücke hängt an einem 24 Meter hohen A-Pylon und hat mit allen Rampen eine Gesamtlänge von 157 Metern.

Back in late October, while the whole of Internet was abuzz with Steve Jobs' cryptic words about netbooks and that the iPhone is the perfect netbook.
The dude was not kidding. Jobs was telling us what Apple is working on. It was right there in front of us. Onxo believed and continues to believe that Apple's new netbook won't be a netbook. So, I'm going to repost it here.
Why? Because it came to my attention that Barclays Capital believes just such a device is possible. They think it'll come in around $600-700. I think $700-800. Dude, this is Apple after all.
I don't think we have long to wait. Macworld 2009 is just around the corner and that is likely when we'll see the "not-a-netbook" netbook from Apple. So, while we have no idea what it will look like or what it will be capable of, we took the liberty of speculating just for the fun of it and then we try to back it up based on Apple's past behavior and where we think technology is headed.
No standard clam-shell form. Not like netbooks.
Will not have a keyboard like standard netbooks.
Will not sport a removable battery...duh.
Will cost $700-$800. Here's the $800 Macbook for you.
Will employ multi-touch as seen on the iPhone. More specifically, it'll use the gestures we now have on the Macbooks.
Will use iPod's connector. In fact, it'll have a lot of mobile features on the iPhone and iPod Touch.
Will likely use iPhone's OS rather than the traditional OS.
7"-8" Screen. Possibly bigger but I doubt it. Maybe LED, I hope.
Wireless connectivity. I doubt we'll see WiMax. Just 3G if at all. Your standard Wi-Fi connectivity.
Now, before we whine about the OS, think about it. This is a small device that is meant to supplement the Mac, not replace it, though I can see folks looking to do just that. So, there is no need for a full blown OS. Now, the software may be more sophisticated. We might see an iWork version for this "netbook" for folks who will be using it to do work when they're away from their Mac.
So, there's your Apple netbook. A netbook that's not a netbook. These are all educated conjectures on my part but it's from watching Apple work all these years. Nothing more. It's part informative and partly for fun on a Thursday.
Apple has indicated in the past that the iPhone platform will extend beyond the iPhone and iPhone Touch.
Natural evolution. A mid-sized tablet makes sense.
In this form factor, it allows Apple to keep a premium on the device. This thing will fly off the shelves. We might even see the price go up as high as $900. Yeah, you can bet on that.
It will leverage the iTunes and App Store even more.
It will create a whole new segment of the market for growth.
Perfect for those looking to get a Mac. Or for those who think the iPod Touch screen is not big enough.
Anyway, a guess is still a guess. What do you think?
Yup...but you know, it's that time of the year...Macworld coming...there's going to be a lot of wild speculations.

The Carambolo Treasure is an assemblage of gold items of the first millennium BCE, whose origin has for about 50 years been the epicentre of a heated debate.
New chemical and isotopic analyses, carried out by the UPV/EHU's Geochronology and Isotopic Geochemistry Service – Ibercron and commissioned by the University of Huelva and the Archaeological Museum of Seville, suggest that the source of the gold is not thousands of kilometres away from where the treasure was discovered but a deposit located only 2 km from the spot.
The high value in museum terms of this collection of gold items drastically limits the possibility of using classical techniques to analyse dissolved samples, so as a complementary means they used "a kind of laser ablation that makes a minute hole of only 100 micra or 0.1 mm", explained Dr Sonia García de Madinabeitia, one of the people in charge of carrying out the analyses. This service has one of the few laboratories existing internationally that does analyses of lead isotopes for archaeological studies. The laboratory combines a system of laser ablation with plasma mass spectrometry "with which we not only do isotope analyses but also elemental analyses directly on solid samples with the minimum possible impact".
The UPV/EHU researchers determine isotope ratios in archaeological objects as well as in the materials linked to the manufacture of these objects and on the materials potentially used to make them in order to find out where the raw materials came from. As García de Madinabeitia explained, "we are compiling a database of the different ancient mineral deposits so that the relationship existing between the archaeological remains and the possible mine they came from can be established".
"We base ourselves on a kind of footprint of the lead," explained the researcher. The isotope ratios of lead vary in terms of the function of the materials used and the age of the materials, and we determine the isotope ratio that the lead has. The fact is that there are considerable differences between some mineral deposits and others". Apart from that, the researchers at the laboratory conduct elemental analyses, in other words, they quantify the trace and ultratrace elements in the materials, "because we know that mines, however much they may be gold or silver mines, never consist of pure materials, but have a series of trace and ultratrace elements that subsequently allow links between the archaeological materials and the geological materials to be established," added García de Madinabeitia.
Through the numerous studies conducted by the UPV/EHU's research team, some hugely interesting facts for getting to know antiquity have come to light. They include the local supply and trade in metals in the south of the Iberian Peninsula long before the arrival of the first peoples from the Eastern Mediterranean; the recycling of gold by the cultures of the lower Guadalquivir river area since 3,000 BCE; or the use during the Bronze Age of raw materials that came from locations thousands of kilometres away.

Chandrababu Naidu Chiranjee
Chandrababu Naidu on Chiranjeevi: Chandrababu Naidu, the leader of the Telugu Desam Party, has expressed his anger over why the party is being dragged into the movie ticket controversy. He clarified that the film industry did not support the Telugu Desam Party. To this end, Chandrababu Naidu spoke to the media at the NTR building in Mangalagiri. The Telugu film industry has never cooperated. When he was the Chief Minister .. even in the meantime, films were made against him. Chandrababu made key remarks that if Chiranjeevi had not left the party in 2009, he would have come to power then. Chandrababu said that Chiranjeevi was fine with him before and after leaving the party. Even now they are fine. Chandrababu made it clear that struggle in politics is a part of the game. Speaking on movie tickets, the Chief Minister asked why he was not talking about building construction.
Chandrababu expressed concern over the rise in prices of essential commodities, petrol and diesel. He said there was no situation to celebrate Sankranthi happily in the state today. Chandrababu said there were 250 illegal quarries running in the heap. If IT clearance of CBI and EDI cases is done, a situation will arise where politics will be made a business. Chandrababu suggested that the central government should focus on this. He said there was a lot of opposition among the people against the YCP government. Even those who do not have a surname say that they will drop bombs on him. The emcee was allegedly given to a man named Bharat who was illegally mining in the heap. A minister from Vizianagaram was criticized for coming and giving a certificate that illegal mining had not taken place.

Watch Julian Casablancas + the Voidz Play New Song "Wink" on Brazilian TV
Written By Anna Gaca
| October 19, 2017 - 11:37 am | Updated October 19, 2017 - 3:00 pm
Home » News » Watch Julian Casablancas + the Voidz Play New Song "Wink" on Brazilian TV
Julian Casablancas + the Voidz are currently on tour in South America. Last night (October 18), they appeared on the Brazilian late-night show The Noite com Danilo Gentili, where they performed a new song, "Wink." The audio quality of this YouTube version leaves something to be desired—it's hard to make out too many of Casablancas's words besides "oh fuck yeah"—but hey, new Voidz song!
As of six months ago, the band was still working on their second album. Their first, Tyranny, was released in 2014. Watch their performance on The Noite below.
Update (12:45 p.m. Eastern): The unauthorized "Wink" video has been pulled, but luckily the official one is here, along with video of the Voidz playing the Tyranny song "Nintendo Blood."

Bruce Wayne is initially reluctant to help the city of Gotham in it's struggle against the new villain.
Anne Hathaway slips effortlessly into her first femme fatale role as Catwoman.
Fox gives Batman's rides some cool new bells and whistles.
Four years later and Christopher Nolan does it again. The Dark Knight Rises hit theaters July 20 as one of the most anticipated movies of the year. If you're a nail biter, wear gloves, because this movie is a sensational, thrill-a-minute adventure . Nolan creates yet another dark third movie in his amazingly directed trilogy. This time around, there are new characters, plot twists, and non-stop action. Nothing is predictable.
Anne Hathaway slips effortlessly into her first femme fatale character as Catwoman, and adds a very playful feel to the movie. Admittedly, I am jealous of her sneakiness, skills and catlike reflexes, never mind that she looks amazing in a very unforgiving catsuit (In fact, Hathaway portrayed Catwoman so convincingly, there is talk of a Catwoman spinoff). Bane, played by Tom Hardy, the last villain of the franchise, keeps the dark theme going. Between his overly muscled bod, demonic sounding voice and penchant for killing, frankly, I was little scared. The thought of running into Bane in a dark alley really gives me the creeps. His evil plan to take over the city of Gotham is a constant battle for the entire police force and, of course, Batman himself. Bane's intense character makes this movie feel dark and frightening; only Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker can out-evil this antagonist.
Christian Bale plays the tortured hero to a tee. Initially, Batman is reluctant to help the city that labeled him a rogue criminal, but it wouldn't be the Batman we know and love unless he was fighting the bad guys. Despite Batman's ruined reputation after the events of The Dark Knight, where he took the blame for Harvey Dent's crimes, Batman feels compelled to aid the police force of Gotham and put an end to Banes' disastrous plans. Bruce Wayne is embroiled in a painful psychological and moral dilemma: agonizing over how he's been treated and what he feels is his duty to his beloved city. Wayne finally comes to the conclusion that he can indeed help the people of Gotham. Every character in the movie has a deeper, internal struggle between good and evil, right and wrong, duty and desire.
The action and special-effects make you feel as if you're right there alongside Batman, fighting crime in the streets and zipping around on the Bat-Cycle. This time around, Fox, played by Morgan Freeman, Batman's tech guru, helps create a new and improved bat-mobile that allows our superhero to be faster, stealthier and more superheroish than ever before. Batman's souped-up ride allows him to fly through the city of Gotham, cutting in-between buildings and hovering silently. You know, like a bat.
The mini love stories, the twists, the blood, the fights, the struggles and the conquests make this Batman movie one for the books. Thrilling doesn't even begin to describe it. If you're wanting to chill out, relax and take it easy at the theater, then this movie isn't it. But if you're in for the non-stop adrenaline rush that you would get from, say, bungee jumping for two and a half hours, then park yourself in a bucket seat (preferably of the IMAX variety), because you have just found your thrill.

Conor McGregor reveals why he wanted Nate Diaz rematch
CONOR MCGREGOR has lifted the lid on why he wanted an immediate rematch with Nate Diaz.
Chisanga MalataUFC Columnist
Don't miss a thing by getting the Daily Star's biggest headlines straight to your inbox!
McGregor, 19-3, suffered a humbling loss to the Ultimate Fighter season five winner at UFC 196 in March.
The UFC's featherweight champion was forced to submit to a rear-naked choke in the second round of his welterweight debut after eating a barrage of punishing one-two combinations.
'The Notorious' has the opportunity to avenge his first defeat inside the Octagon at UFC 202 on August 20.

McGregor's decision to seek out an immediate rematch with Diaz was slammed by many of his detractors, who were quick to point out the fact that he's failed to defend the featherweight title he claimed at UFC 194.
After it was announced that McGregor would rematch Diaz, UFC president Dana White revealed that the Irishman was 'obsessed' with erasing the memory of his third career defeat.

And McGregor has revealed that his main motivation for demanding a rematch with Diaz was the fact that he dominated the first eight minutes of the fight.
"I wanted to get that one back," he said during the extended preview for UFC 202.
"How can I slap a guy's face all around the Octagon for eight minutes and then lose that way?
"It's a fight that must be played back."

Dinning Table is a very important part of your dinning room, so it must be chosen carefully when you are buying a new one. There can be a lot of different designs available of a dinning table. Mostly it is made up of wood and glass. Some of the dinning tables are made of wood entirely; however, this design has become old fashioned now. Currently, the top of the table is supposed to be made of glass, or glass is just fixed to it.
The dinning table can be four seater, six seater or whatever number of seats you want. The chairs must be delicate but they should be durable as well. The design of the chairs and that of the table mats should be matching with each other, so that they present a good combination. There should be kept different flower vases on the table for adding up its beauty and elegance.
There can be different shapes of the dinning tables as well. For example, they can be square shaped, rectangular, circular, oval, etc. You can choose the shape according to what you like. If you need a dinning table to be kept on a side of your kitchen, then it must not be very large in size.
However, if you are looking for a proper table to be kept in your dinning room, then it must be a bit heavy and it should be covering the space available in the dinning room completely.

Cllr Feargal Dalton, City Convener for Workforce, has said he is 'delighted' as Glasgow's janitors agree an eleventh-hour pay deal, bringing to an end a long-running dispute.
The Evening Times have reported that janitors who are members of trade union Unison and Cordia employees have voted overwhelmingly in favour of new wage proposals.
It means that the dispute, which has been ongoing for the last 20 months, is over – just in time for pupils returning to school.
Commenting, Cllr Feargal Dalton said: "I am delighted that we have been able to find a positive resolution to this long-running dispute.
"This was a commitment we made to parents and pupils before the election which, just like the commitment to resolve equal pay disputes for female council staff, has been delivered by an SNP City Government not content with dragging their heels on issues which affect so many.
"There are now 12 janitor vacancies currently open to Cordia staff, and we are strongly encouraging Cordia and female staff to consider working as janitors. It's not acceptable in this day and age that being a jannie is considered a 'man's job' and cleaning and cooking is a 'woman's work'.

Q: How to use pngquant for compressing jpeg files on ubuntu server using php I am trying to use pngquant to compress images (jpeg and png) while uploading to my server. The script I got from pngquant website is working fine for png files but not for jpeg files. I am using this code (which works for png files):
function compress_png($path_to_png_file, $max_quality = 90)
{
    if (!file_exists($path_to_png_file)) {
        throw new Exception("File does not exist: $path_to_png_file");
    }

    // guarantee that quality won't be worse than that.
    $min_quality = 60;

    // '-' makes it use stdout, required to save to $compressed_png_content variable
    // '<' makes it read from the given file path
    // escapeshellarg() makes this safe to use with any path
    $compressed_png_content = shell_exec("pngquant --quality=$min_quality-$max_quality - < ".escapeshellarg(    $path_to_png_file));

    if (!$compressed_png_content) {
        throw new Exception("Conversion to compressed PNG failed. Is pngquant 1.8+ installed on the server?");
    }

    return $compressed_png_content;
}

/****************************************************/

$download_url = "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/47/PNG_transparency_demonstration_1.png";

    // maximum execution time in seconds
    set_time_limit (24 * 60 * 60);

    // folder to save downloaded files to. must end with slash
    $destination_folder = '/IMAGES/';

    $ImageName = "testing_pngquant_image3.png";
    $CompressedImageName = "testing_pngquant_image_compressed3.png";

    $url = $download_url;
    $newfname = $destination_folder . $ImageName;

    $file = fopen ($url, "rb");
    if ($file) {
      $newf = fopen ($newfname, "wb");

      if ($newf)
      while(!feof($file)) {
        fwrite($newf, fread($file, 1024 * 8 ), 1024 * 8 );
      }
    }

    if ($file) {
      fclose($file);
    }

    if ($newf) {
      fclose($newf);
    }

    $path_to_uncompressed_file = $newfname;
    $path_to_compressed_file = $destination_folder . $CompressedImageName;

// this will ensure that $path_to_compressed_file points to compressed file
// and avoid re-compressing if it's been done already
if (!file_exists($path_to_compressed_file)) {
    file_put_contents($path_to_compressed_file, compress_png($path_to_uncompressed_file));
}

// and now, for example, you can output the compressed file:
header("Content-Type: image/png");
header('Content-Length: '.filesize($path_to_compressed_file));
readfile($path_to_compressed_file);
?>

Can pngquant be used for jpeg files at all? Or is there any better (free) tool for compressing jpeg files (like jpegmini which is paid) to do this on my ubuntu server using php.

A: As I know Pngquant is used for compressing png format in a lossy way. For jpeg you could use the quality factor when output it.

A: I'm pretty sure that pngquant is only for PNG files. There are a number of similar utilities for use on JPGs. You might want to consider just using the existing script imgopt (bash shell script). It is located here: imgopt
This script works well (both JPG and PNG) and is very easy to use. It is completely lossless so it is fairly safe, but you should be able to add pngquant in there if you want (pngquant is lossy). There are some required programs you need to install first, and one binary if you chose to use it (pngout).
I didn't write the script, I have just used it for quite a while.


The business environment is changing. Forces driving change include the competitive global market place, the growth in outsourcing, the need for collaborative decision making and the increasingly important role of "non-traditional employees" such as consultants and contractors. Today's workers are geographically dispersed, yet demand seamless 24×7 access to up-to-date business intelligence. The IT department is tasked to deliver the services and systems required by these users, and to extend decision making to partners, customers and suppliers. The network infrastructure is the backbone that ties all of this together, connecting users to the required IT resources and enabling instant sharing of information.
To a large extent, the infrastructure connectivity and capacity challenges have been addressed—most organizations have now deployed an efficient, high-capacity network that support seamless, robust communications and collaboration. However, IT executives are now confronted with a very different set of problems.
information infrastructure. Disruption to that infrastructure significantly impairs revenue and ongoing operations.


My family has been working hard to eat better. Many times though, we have been unsure about the nutritional value of many foods we eat. While we are not eating a Paleo Diet (a diet based on the types of foods presumed to have been eaten by early humans, consisting chiefly of meat, fish, vegetables, and fruit, and excluding dairy or grain products and processed food), we do eat healthier.
My weight loss (70 lbs) so far has been a bit of trial and error but it always comes back to more protein, veggies and fruit; and less carbs, salt, and sugar. When I decided to not diet but eat better it was a huge change for our family. It is a total different way of living.
First I started by only purchasing items on the outside grocery aisles. I know, I know, you've heard it before, but I load my grocery cart with fresh vegetables, fruit, herbs and better cuts of meat. I buy whole pork loins, large packs of boneless skinless chicken breasts, and sometimes beef. I also buy hamburger and low fat smoked sausage so that we don't get bored with our dinners and lose interest.
Next I went to work learning more about nutrition. I don't know it all, it's something that never really interested me, but I'm trying. There are also things that we have decided not to give up for instance, salad dressings. For the last year our dinners have included a dinner salad, a protein, and more vegetables. We are a family that prefers savory to sweet, so fruits are generally a snack.
This week I was introduced to Perfect Fit Meals. These are ready cooked meals that you can find in the refrigerated section of your grocery store. They have a vacuumed packed look to them and they look small, but they pack a good punch to your hunger! In fact, our family received 8 of these meals for review and I truly thought the boys would eat two but after one meal they were full. And what makes me smile is they were full of good tasting, good food.
Perfect Fit Meals has a dietitian that makes sure each meal is balanced. They use low glycemic whole grains, nutrient dense vegetables and lean animal protein. No artificial colors or preservatives, everything they use is fresh.
What I really like about the Perfect Meals is the variety, that they need to be microwaved for only 2 minutes, and they are filling. This helps me on fright nights to get a nice meal on the table with out my husband and I sacrificing our hard work, but by helping us stick to a plan.
We were able to try the following meals: Paleo Hunter-Gather Chicken, Chicken Parmesan, Herb Crushed Chicken, Roasted Pork Loin, Paleo Turkey Skillet Scramble, Paleo Jamaican Style Jerk Chicken, Turkey Enchilada Casserole, and Southwest Style Chicken.
Last night we had 4 of these the Paleo Hunter-Gather Chicken, Chicken Parmesan, Southwest Style Chicken and Paleo Jamaican Style Jerk Chicken and we enjoyed the flavors of them all. Each meal more than filled each of us up. The meats are lean and delicious and the food tastes fresh and unique. The meals are under 400 calories and loaded with protein to fill you up and help you feel full longer. Perfect Fit Meals are processed using, High Pressure Processing (HPP) a pasteurizaton technique recognized by the FDA which brings your food to the table tasting better.
HPP or High Pressure Processing is a food pasteurization technique recognized by the U.S.'s Food and Drug Administration, FDA, and used worldwide including: North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Pacific. Foods that use HPP include: meats, fruits, vegetables, juices, dairy and seafood.
Blaise Pascal first explored High Pressure Processing, HPP, when he began testing HPP on bacteria in the 1890's. First commercial HPP products were fruit preserves in Japan in the mid 1990's, guacamole in the U.S. and cooked ham in Spain in 1999.
HPP is cold pasteurization in pure water; it uses ultra-high pressure purified water to keep packaged food pathogen-free and to stay fresh longer. Food is subjected 87,000 lbs. of pressure per sq. inch –– the same amount of pressure as six times the deepest part of the ocean. At this very high pressure bacteria is destroyed, but food's taste, texture and nutritional value is preserved.
JBT/Avure is a leading global maker of HPP machines. JBT/Avure's HPP food processing machines offer the highest output, lowest operating costs, and greatest reliability for food producers and manufacturers.From installation and maintenance of equipment systems to recipe and package development, JBT/Avure helps producers increase food safety and extend shelf life while providing consumers with nutritious,natural, flavorful food.

Baited for Bear
FROM THE MANICURED LAWNS OF Suburban Boston to the wide-open spaces of Idaho they swarmed, energized citizens buttonholing friends, neighbors and strangers to sign petitions to place near-identical voter initiatives on November ballots. In Massachusetts they collected 155,000 signatures; in Washington they gathered 228,000; in Michigan, 341,000, all thousands more than required. And what issue so galvanized the supposedly apathetic electorate? Not the right to die. Not gay marriage. Not any other hot-button issue. No: what millions of people have gotten all riled up about is ... bear hunting. The number of anti-hunting initiatives--there are ballot measures in six states--is matched only by those on term limits and taxes. And last week, when the American Society of Magazine Editors condemned owners who dictate editorial policy, what was one of the cases they cited? A decision last July by corporate executives at Outdoor Life to spike, over two editors' objection, an article critical of bear baiting.
If this seems like a disproportionate fuss, well, you probably never owned a teddy bear. The state initiatives all share one ideological premise: call it the fair-fight ideal. Washington's, Michigan's and Idaho's would ban the hunting of black bears with bait or hounds. Massachusetts's would outlaw black-bear hunting with hounds (baiting is already illegal, as it is in 30 of the 40 states with viable bear populations). Colorado would ban body-gripping traps like legholds. Alaska would ban hunting from helicopters and planes. All the proposals reflect a new hunting ethic, one that a few hunters are embracing as the only way to save the sport. Tom Beck, a bear biologist at Colorado's Division of Wildlife, a hunt-er and author of the controversial Out- door Life article (it is running in the November issue, alongside a pro-baiting piece), puts it this way in a new book, ""A Hunter's Heart: Honest Essays on Blood Sport'': ""If hunting is to persist in America, it must operate within two sets of rules, one biological, the other sociological. While the biological rules set the outer limits for what we kill, the sociological rules dictate how we kill.''
Increasingly, that ""how'' has come to mean ""as fairly and humanely as possible.'' Sportsmen are allowed to hunt bears in 27 states because fish and game departments believe that without the bear ""harvests'' the animals' population would explode and they would become dangerous nuisances. Bear baiting and hunting with hounds fail the fairness test, say critics, who include not only the usual bunny huggers but also, according to polls, 25 percent of Colorado's black-bear hunters and 45 percent of Idaho's. The idea behind baiting black bears is that hunters have little chance of finding these shy, solitary ghosts of the deep woods.
So the hunter sets out jelly doughnuts, cooking grease, honey, stale pizza or a 55-gallon drum of rotting fish in bear habitat, hunkers down in a blind and waits for a bear to amble into Winchester range. It isn't shooting fish in a barrel, but it clearly improves the odds. In Washington, for example, only 24 percent of hunters used bait or hounds in 1995, but they accounted for fully half of the 1,218 bears killed that year. Success rates depend on the terrain, though. In the deep woods of Michigan, where 96 percent of the black bears killed every year are hunted with bait or hounds, only 1,200 of the 5,000 hunters manage to bag their trophy, says hunting lobbyist Fred Myers: sometimes the hunters miss, often the bears don't show. And without bait, he argues, hunters would get so few bears that the creatures would have more and more run-ins with suburbanites and pets. But that has not been the case in Colorado, which in 1992 outlawed hounds and baiting. The 535 black bears killed last year amounted to more than the average for the five years before the ban.
The truly incendiary issue is the ""how'' of hunting. Or, as Beck puts it, ""How fulfilling is it to shoot a bear with its head in a barrel of jelly-filled doughnuts?'' The different answers to that question have produced some strange bedfellows. Animal rightists find themselves allied with hunters who view both baiting and hounds as unsportsmanlike. On the other side stand the National Rifle Association and, more surprisingly, some conservation groups, including state affiliates of the National Wildlife Federation.
The groups contend that baiting lets hunters get close enough to be sure that the bear in their sights is not a sow with cubs. ""If all you see is a brown blob running through the woods,'' says Myers, ""you can't easily determine its sex.'' But sows often hide their cubs in the brush while investigating bait. As a result, many cubs (no one has an exact count) are orphaned each year at bait sites. Shooting new mothers is not only illegal but, since it creates adorable little orphans, bad PR.
Some of the more enlightened hunters know that. And even if they see little moral difference between leaving rotten fish out for a bear and using decoys to attract ducks, they know one number as well as they know shot gauge. Less than 15 percent of Americans hunt. If they want to continue, they have to convince the other 85 percent that they are engaged in a fair sport that gives bears a fighting chance.
