By: Lynn Barker
In Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, galactic cops Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevigne), a bickering romantic couple, are sent on a mission to Alpha, a floating and ever-expanding metropolis where diverse species gather to share knowledge and culture. The duo has to recover the "Converter" which was stolen. Also, something radioactive is spreading from the heart of the city. What is it and who put it there?

It's the far future and an Earth-orbiting space station grows bigger and bigger with more wings being added until it's so humungous that it threatens to crash down on Earth so, it's sent out into space. It finds a home and, as the years pass, all humans and discovered alien races seem to get along in Alpha, the major city.
Part of the giant Alpha station
End of a World
On Mul, a beautiful water planet, the alien race, the Pearls, live happily by the sea collecting pearls and cuddling with adorable alien creatures who, if you feed them one, can poop a ton more. When giant, damaged starships start falling on the planet from a war raging above, the world's princess seems the only one unable to get to safety. Dying, she sends her soul out through the universe searching for a being to house it.
The Pearl Princess runs from planetary destruction
Vacation Interrupted
Valerian and Laureline, basically space cops, are relaxing on a holographic beach inside their ship when Valerian receives the soul of the dead princess and has visions of her world. He thinks it's a dream. He asks Laureline to marry him but he's too much a player with women for her. They are called to action. Someone has stolen the "Converter" and they need to bring it to the Alpha station.

Tourists at Big Market
Valerian poses as a tourist in a parallel dimension area called The Big Market, a shopping mecca that visitors must wear special glasses to see. Here, some of the remaining Pearls are confronting a huge underworld creature trying to trade a giant power pearl for the Converter creature. Valerian and Laureline bust in and grab the little creature, once a pet on destroyed homeworld Mul. Valerian grabs the pearl. They escape with the underworld alien's weird "dog" in pursuit. Valerian discovers that the pearl is packed with atomic energy. That's why everyone wants one.
Valerian and Laureline are chased after escaping Big Market
Reporting at Alpha Station
Valerian and Laureline report to the Commander (Clive Owen) on Alpha Station. He reveals that in the center of the station is a new radioactive area that nobody has been able to explore without dying. If it keeps growing, it could destroy the station. We see that the Commander is a baddie who has been torturing one of the Pearl people for information. He will speak in front of a large council and Laureline and Valerian are to escort and protect him and the Converter creature. The remaining Pearls have constructed a ship and kidnap the Commander thinking he has the Converter. Laureline has it.
Strange creatures created for the film
Valerian chases the ship through various environments on the station while Laureline tracks him from the government control room. He disappears and, after a bizarre side trip to get information, she locates him, crashed in an unauthorized, dangerous zone. After finding Valerian, Laureline is captured by strange, huge creatures who take her to their emperor. Valerian knows the race hates most humans. He enlists the aid of Shapeshifter/dancer Bubbles (Rihanna) who can wrap herself around him and make him look like one of the beings holding Laureline.
On the way to Alpha
Rescue and Revelation
Just before the alien emperor is about to eat Laureline's brain, Valerian and Bubbles find her and a swordfight ensues. Bubbles is fatally injured. Meanwhile, the General at the station has discovered that the Commander was part of the war over Mul and lied that the planet was uninhabited. He has been covering up what amounted to the Genocide of the Pearls! Why do the remaining Pearls need the Converter creature? What is the secret of the radioactive area at the center of Alpha? Will the Commander pay for his war crimes and will Laureline agree to marry Valerian?

Special Extra Features
There are some nice extras on this Blu-ray. Most feature the cast working on bare blue-screen sets with motion capture actors. The real movie magic happens in post when special effects giants ILM and WETA take over.
Enhancement Mode – this is an optional feature with pop up pods containing facts you can run at various points throughout the film. Kind of cool after you've seen the film once without it.
The multi-part, making-of featurette is Citizens of Imagination: Creating the Universe of Valerian.
Part 1 is Paper, Ink, Flesh and Blood Origins and it concentrates on the French comic book that inspired Director Luc Besson as a 10-year-old. He had to wait until technology made making the movie possible.
Part 2 is called To Alpha and Beyond: Production and Stunts – This extra is really interesting as you see really amazing alien creature creation, motion capture actors on set, beautiful production art and a lot of Cara goofing off and she and Dane on wires while doing stunts. Big Market is featured as well. Really a fun extra.
Cara as Laureline gets rigged up for a fight
Part 3 It Takes Two: Valerian and Laureline's Partnership attempts to convince us that the two lead actors actually have chemistry. He's uptight, she loosens him up. We see Dane training for a fight.
Part 4 Denizens of the Galaxy: Humans and Aliens concentrates on Rihanna and her Bubbles character, Ethan Hawke's club owner/pimp, Clive Owen as The Commander and the actors wearing motion capture suits to play various aliens. Really interesting.
Part 5 is The Final Element: Visual Effects. Artists from ILM and WETA talk about their amazing contributions, the effects from storyboard to finished product. Just beautiful. Ships, Big Market, Alpha, etc. are examined.
Director Luc Besson shoots Dane DeHaan in a scene
As we mentioned when covering the feature film, "Valerian" is an eye candy festival with a muddled "why are they doing that?" storyline and lead actors with little chemistry but you can't beat all the amazing visuals and effects.
Rihanna plays shapeshifting dancer Bubbles
The extra features on this Blu-ray set are all fun to watch and concentrate on the "look" of the film. There is no Blooper/Gag reel but we see so much of Cara, especially, goofing off on set that the purpose is served. There is no Audio Commentary but again, the tech stuff and action on set is covered. There are no sections on the very creative costumes or weaponry but most other aspects; stunts, working with very little actually on set etc. are covered.
Beautiful Pearl people
I feel that "Valerian" is worth collecting just for the amazing visuals alone. If you have a pal who is really into Sci-Fi art and colorful visual effects, this is well worth gifting as well. We'd go five stars for the "look" of the film but overall, on this Blu-ray/DVD/Digital set, we go three.

Grand Opening for Almansor Park Improvement ProjectApril 14 to also feature basketball tournament
Six brand new regulation sized half courts and one new full size court have replaced the old half-court basketball courts at Almansor Park.
For many years, one of the most popular recreational activities in Alhambra was the half-court basketball courts at Almansor Park. But these courts, always busy, were not regulation size and were crowded together. In April, that all changes. Six brand new regulation sized half courts and one new full size court will replace them.
To celebrate the occasion, the Parks and Recreation Department is preparing two fun events for April that are planned as a combo activity. The first is a Spring Slam Tournament of basketball and the second is the much anticipated Grand Opening of the Almansor Park Improvement Project including the basketball courts.
This dual event is going to take place Saturday, April 14, at Almansor Gym/Park, 800 S. Almansor St. The day will feature the grand opening of the improvement project and a youth basketball tournament sponsored by the Alhambra Police Foundation and Alhambra Police Officers Association.
The tournament will tip off at 9 a.m. with games running every hour, leading up to the championship game at 4 p.m. The teams in the tournament will be co-ed seventh- and eighth- graders from the nine Alhambra elementary schools. Each team will work out with their coach (an Alhambra Recreation Leader) and their Honorary Coach (a police officer).
The teams will use the brand new basketball courts as they practice over the next few weeks, leading up to the inaugural tournament. The police officers will help coach their teams in the tournament, hoping to create a more positive image and experience between police officers and Alhambra's youngsters.
The grand opening ceremony of the new basketball courts will start at 11 a.m., followed at 11:30 a.m. with a "friendly exhibition game," a team of police officers vs. a team of fire fighters. Nearby will be the In-N-Out truck, which will provide food to the athletes, coaches, and staff from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
It is more than the basketball courts that were improved. There is a brand new public restroom, the creation of six new shaded picnic areas and shaded open space, new LED lighting, the planting of 30 more trees, and an expanded area of green space. The grand opening celebrates the completion of the improvement project. Altogether these long needed improvements cost $2.5 million in Federal HUD funding.

I won this award two years ago and it stunned me, both because I didn't expect to win anything from what I saw as a very insular system, and because I don't think I write an industry blog. The award made a difference in the way I view my blog. I don't go out of my way to cover new advances in bottling lines, but I am more aware of how many industry readers I have.
That self-serving paragraph was not purely a digression, because this is a strong group of blogs that mostly aren't industry blogs either. How Texas Wine and Trail and Lodi Wine didn't end up in Single Subject blogs, I'm not sure. Terroirist's David White, like me, probably sees himself as writing for anybody who's interested in wine. I'm less sure of who to vote for here than in any other category. But I think I'll vote for Fermentation, because it is the most clearly planned to be for members of the wine industry.
This is a silly category, because photography and video are completely different. It's like saying "Best orginal writing or graphic design on a wine blog." It's not like the organizers are saving money by combining categories, because all the winner gets is a Trojan prize, a badge for their site that leads readers back to the organizers' site. (That's why I don't display badges.) So come on, Zephyr, how about separate categories next year?
For photos, I was knocked out by The Lynmar Life. Go look at them, they're both beautiful and illustrative. The Journey of Jordan Winery manages to make me laugh with its racy videos a few times a year. It's a tough call, but Jordan has badges all over its site already (suckers -- or is that why they keep winning?) So I'm voting for Lynmar.
The battle between Lynmar and Jordan is rejoined: both are very strong blogs, enjoyable whether or not you care about that particular winery. I think I'll split my vote and go for The Journey of Jordan in this category.
I'm nominated in this category so I won't comment on it.
Wine reviews are the focus of too many wine blogs. It is the best way to break into the wine critic business and make real money: Antonio Galloni and Jeb Dunnuck had newsletters, basically blogs with reviews, before getting hired by Wine Advocate. But both Galloni and Dunnuck understood something that few bloggers do -- to be useful to readers, you need to have comprehensive reviews of something, not a Chardonnay you like here and a Madeira you like there.
The Reverse Wine Snob does a great service for Trader Joe's shoppers by reviewing that chain's cheap, faceless wines, going through a lot of dreck to find a few gems that he describes in traditional aroma-and-flavor ways. One could argue for reviews that give more background information and context, but in this group I vote for utility.
I'm sorry that I'm going to hurt some feelings here. The nominated posts are all nice posts that the authors can take pride in. But are these really the best the wine blog world had to offer in an entire year? If so, it's easy to understand why most people don't read wine blogs.
What makes a great blog post? Clearly not brevity in the eyes of the judges. Not news, either. Or explanatory posts about wine science. Or colorful personality profiles.
The absence of provocative posts is also noticeable. This might not be a bad thing, as many of the most-commented-on blog posts tend to be about the same few issues. But if one purpose of a blog is to spark conversation, none of these posts did it. Go look at the comments on them. In wine terms, this is a low-acid category.
In the only truly compact nominee, Lauren Mowery writes an excellent version of the common "I tasted two wines and wrote about them" post. But I'm voting for Richard Jennings' loooong post because he provides a resource online to anyone interested in Santa Barbara County wine history.
Before I hurt everybody's feelings here, it's time to consider how the nominees came to be decided.
People nominate themselves or their friends: there might be 100 entries for "best blog post" and "best overall wine blog." Then a group of judges winnows them into five finalists.
Last year that group of judges was impressive. But the Wine Blog Awards site has not been updated, so we don't know who judged this year.
Once that winnowing has been done, the public votes on the awards, which I encourage you to do after reading this. The public's vote counts half and the judges' vote counts half.
I was a little cynical about the quality of blog posts in the previous category, but nowhere near as cynical as the judges for this category.
Been Doon So Long is nominated. Randall Grahm is one of the best wine writers in the world, but he has produced exactly 2 posts in the last 8 months. That means that judges got together and said, "There are not 5 wine blogs anywhere in the world that are better than reading Randall Grahm once every four months." Maybe they're right, but you have to really hate wine blogs to think so.
That's not the only problem with this category. I don't know how to say this without giving offense. After looking at all the nominated blogs in all the categories, I can't understand the criteria the judges used for this award, which should be the highest of all. There are runners-up in several other categories that would easily win my vote in this.
I put it to you, dear reader: Go look at all the Best Industry Blog nominees, or all the Best Single Subject nominees, and then come back and look at these. And tell me which you think is the strongest group of blogs, overall.
I have to vote for somebody and now that I've hurt everyone's feelings, I guess I'll make a statement and vote for Randall.
What's the purpose of the Wine Blog Awards? When Tom Wark started them, it was to recognize excellence in wine blogging. Now that they're run by the people behind the Wine Bloggers' Conference, perhaps they're mostly to encourage people to pay to attend. That would explain the "share the wealth" approach, in which many of the big names in wine blogging are not nominated.
Whichever the purpose, I think the awards would benefit from expanding to include the professional sites that all of us bloggers should be reading. Have a category for Best Magazine/Newspaper Wine Coverage, and Best Overall Wine Website. Have a category for Best Site with a Paywall: Advocate vs. Jancis vs. Spectator would be interesting.
From personal experience I can say that Best Industry Blog isn't an accurate category, and it's unfair to sites actually for the industry like SVB on Wine that people like me can win it. There are a few sites like Señorita Vino that are written for wine novices, and that's a different audience than most blogs target. Perhaps there could be awards by intended audience: Best Blog for Novices, Best Blog for Wine Lovers, Best Blog for Industry Readers. I'd feel happier about winning an award with that wording.
And name the judges again. I don't know who decided the Best Overall Blog and Best Post finalists. But I'd like to.
Vote in the Wine Blog Awards here. Public voting ends June 19.
Thanks for the endorsement Blake, it means a lot to me.
I won't get into the omissions and inconsistencies among the list of finalists, but I do want to point out something that the awards desperately need: sponsorship. Without it, they are unlikely to rise above junior varsity status from an event/seriousness standpoint.
To make people to take Wine Blog Awards more seriously, the key factors are organization and clarity. We don't know who the judges are. The nomination period opened for the brief four days or so, all out of blue, without much announcement. None of the promised deadlines (we will announce finalists by XYZ date and so on) are ever met. At this level of organization, it is really hard to look at the WBA seriously. And the whole WBA process is definitely not encouraging for more and better bloggers to appear.
Hey Jamie! Don't worry, when you lift the virtual trophy over your head my commentary will be equally weightless.

A couple weeks ago, I got a strange message from Jeff at the New York Times asking if I was available to photograph Derek Jeter's last professional baseball game. I say it's strange because I'm not what you'd call a sports photographer. In fact, I don't think I've had a single sports-related assignment in my career as a freelancer. I'm just about the last person you'd expect to see at a baseball game, much less photographing one, and I had to spend some time with wikipedia and talking with friends to learn about Derek Jeter. Nevertheless, the editor said he wanted me to photograph the excitement and history of the day, and that's something I feel like I can do.
In the end, I had a lot of fun on the assignment. The subject matter is so different from what I usually photograph so it was a fascinating challenge for me. I spent the day wandering around Fenway Park, both inside and out, trying to capture the fan's enthusiasm and passion for the game and this particular player.
You can see more pictures or buy prints from the day at my archive: Derek Jeter's Last Game.

How to set radio option checked onload with jQuery?
How about a one liner?
In first case, we specify the entire radio group using name and tell JQuery to find radio to select using val function. The val function takes 1-element array and finds the radio with matching value, set its checked=true. Others with the same name would be deselected. If no radio with matching value found then all will be deselected. If there are multiple radios with same name and value then the last one would be selected and others would be deselected.
If you are not using value attribute for radio then you need to use unique ID to select particular radio in the group. In this case, you need to use prop function to set "checked" property. Many people don't use value attribute with checkboxes so #2 is more applicable for checkboxes then radios. Also note that as checkboxes don't form group when they have same name, you can do $("[name=myCheckBox").prop("checked", true); for checkboxes.
I liked the answer by @Amc. I found the expression could be condensed further to not use a filter() call (@chaiko apparently also noticed this). Also, prop() is the way to go vs attr() for jQuery v1.6+, see the jQuery documentation for prop() for the official best practices on the subject.
Consider the same input tags from @Paolo Bergantino's answer.
Note: Passing array is important.
If you want it to be truly dynamic and select the radio that corresponds to the incoming data, this works. It's using the gender value of the data passed in or uses default.
When page loads, it'll come checked.
// which triggered the event.
// regardless of checked state of the radio group.
So $('input[name="myRadio"]').val() does not return the checked value of the radio input, as you might expect -- it returns the first radio button's value.
your selector can be as the other guys above recommended too.

Projected Barrier
Zarya surrounds one of her teammates with an energy barrier that simultaneously absorbs fire and boosts the power of her Particle Cannon.
Graviton Surge
Zarya launches a gravity bomb that draws in enemy combatants and deals damage while they're trapped.
Real Name: Aleksandra Zaryanova, Age: 28
Occupation: Soldier
Base of Operations: Krasnoyarsk Front, Russia
Affiliation: Russian Defense Forces
"Together we are strong."
Aleksandra Zaryanova is one of the world's strongest women, a celebrated athlete who sacrificed personal glory to protect her family, friends, and country in a time of war.
Aleksandra was born in a remote Siberian village that was on the front lines of the Omnic Crisis, which began some thirty years ago. Although Russian forces defeated the robots and shut down their omnium, the region was devastated by the conflict. Only a child at the time, Aleksandra was surrounded by the post-war destruction, and as she grew older, she swore that she would gain the strength to help her people recover.
Focusing on weightlifting and bodybuilding, Aleksandra was identified by the national athletics program as a potential star. She trained extensively, moving up the ranks while representing her country, and was expected to shatter longstanding records in the upcoming world championships.
But on the eve of the tournament, an attack came from the long-dormant Siberian omnium, and her village was thrust into war once again. Aleksandra immediately withdrew from the competition and rushed home to enlist in the local defense forces, sacrificing the life of fame and fortune she might have had.
Now she serves—a symbol to some, a stalwart fellow soldier to others. But for Aleksandra, it is a chance to use her great strength to protect the ones she loves.

Compromising vital infrastructure: air traffic control
Posted: November 15, 2018 by Pieter Arntz
While most of us know that flying is the safest mode of transport, we still feel that sigh of relief when the plane has made its landing on the runway and we can text our loved ones that we have arrived safe and sound. Accidents may be rare, but they're often shocking and horrific and accompanied by the loss of many lives. Unfortunately, they also tend to make the news, which only heightens fear.
In this blog post, we look at the dangers related to flying from a cybersecurity perspective. As we know, cybercriminals are motivated mostly by money, power, and ego—and messing with air traffic and air traffic control can boost any of those factors. While the majority of these cybersecurity incidents result in data breaches, make no mistake: Attacks on this vital infrastructure could lead to much more grim consequences.
Air traffic can roughly be divided into four general categories:
Cargo and express freight
Smaller aircrafts (recreational, training, helicopters, and drones)
Organizations like the ATO and EUROCONTROL manage the air traffic across entire continents, communicating with commercial and military bodies to control the coordination and planning of air traffic in their designated territory. These organizations work closely together, as there are many intercontinental flights that pass from one territory to another.
Air traffic control organizations need to react quickly to incidents, and their instructions should be followed to the T. They need flawless communication to work properly, as they are crucial to maintaining the normal flow of air traffic. Therefore, these organizations and their related systems are heavily computerized. This makes them primary targets for cyberattacks.
Using airlines as a means of public transport brings with it certain security-related dangers. Online bookings have led to many data leaks. Recently we have learned about breaches at Cathay Pacific, British Airways, Arik Air, and Air Canada. Some of these breaches were website hacks. Others only concerned users of mobile apps.
Another privacy-related cause for worry is the type of information displayed on an airline ticket or boarding pass. Some people post pictures of their tickets on social media, and the Aztec codes used on those tickets are easy to decipher. This can provide a threat actor with a wealth of personally identifiable information, such as payment method, confirmation numbers, names, and addresses.
Travelers should also pay extra attention to spam that comes in looking convincingly like a ticket confirmation. This type of spam has been around for a few years, and is usually easy to discard—except when you actually happened to have booked with the same airline being spoofed.

Air cargo is by definition always in a hurry. If delivery of the cargo wasn't urgent, it would have been put on a less costly mode of transportation. This makes shipment information valuable to both thieves and scammers. How often have you received a phishing mail claiming to be shipment information from one of the major express freighters such as DHL, FedEx, or UPS? If a threat actor were to know you were expecting air cargo or an express delivery from a particular company, these blind attempts could become more targeted and efficient.
In warfare, competition for air supremacy is fierce. It is defined by the USDoD and NATO as the "degree of air superiority wherein the opposing air force is incapable of effective interference." There are several levels of control of the air, but the general idea is that air supremacy is a major goal on the way to victory.
In modern warfare, you can expect every side to try every possible way to gain control of the air, including cyberattacks on the enemies' air traffic infrastructure. In such a scenario, the infrastructure includes planes, aircraft factories, airports, air traffic control, and the lines of communications between all of them.
Recreational use of the airways
Interfering with recreational air traffic may not be a target for cybercriminals, but recreational traffic can, and has been known to, hinder other forms of air traffic. Drones have been reported in hundreds of near misses with commercial air liners, and one even managed to land on the grounds of the White House. Considering that the number of drones is expected to grow exponentially in years to come—with increasing commercial use-cases, such as delivery, photography, inspection, and reconnaissance—expect more interference problems to emerge.
Drones come in many forms and shapes, and the same is true for their level of security. But you can readily assume that most of them can be remotely hacked. In the US, drone operations are not allowed within five miles of an airport unless they inform traffic control. One would expect these rules to become stricter as we proceed.
Terrorist attacks
Aircrafts have been hijacked by terrorists in the past, the most famous example being 9/11, where terrorists snuck their way onto four different aircrafts, incapacitated the pilots, and flew the planes into the World Trade Centers, Pentagon, and crashing into a field in Pennsylvania. These physical, in-person hijacks are the reason for the extensive security measures that you encounter at every major airport.
But hijackers don't have to be physically present to cause huge damage. As demonstrated in the past, aircrafts can be hacked remotely and malware can infect computer systems in the aircraft.
Ransomware victims
Like any other industry, you will find many ransomware victims in the aviation and air traffic sector.
The flight information screens on Bristol Airport went dark after the airport's administration system was the subject of a cyberattack. The attack was suspected to be ransomware, although I could not find official confirmation for this. In this case, flight operations were (thankfully) not affected.
Boeing was one of the many victims of the WannaCry attack in May 2017, even though the attack was played down afterward, since the production lines had not been disturbed.
As mentioned in an earlier blog, air and express freight carrier FedEx has been a ransomware victim twice: once through their TNT division hit by NotPetya, and once in their own delivery unit by WannaCry.
Targeted cyberattacks
A targeted attack was suspected when malware was found in the IT network of Boryspil International Airport, located in the Ukraine, which reportedly included the airport's air traffic control system. Due to rocky relations between Ukraine and Russia, attribution quickly swerved to BlackEnergy, a Russian APT group held responsible for many cyberattacks on the Ukraine.
Ukranian aircraft builder Antonov was also a victim of NotPetya, ransomware that was suspected of targeting Ukrainian users. In hindsight, it may just have looked that way because the malware was spread with software update systems for a Ukrainian tax accounting package called MeDoc.
Budget concerns
In 2017, the Air Traffic Control Association (ATCA) published a white paper issuing the following warning:
Where budgets are concerned, cybersecurity is treated reactively instead of proactively.
This was after a 2016 report by the Ponemon Institute that found organizations did not budget for the technical, administrative, testing, and review activities that are necessary to operate a truly secure system. Instead, at least two-thirds of businesses waited until they had experienced a cyberattack or data breach to hire and retain security vendors to help.
The budgeting process for systems architecture in the aviation industry does not account for built-in security. It would certainly make sense to include it if we want to protect our passengers and cargo making use of this vital infrastructure. It would even be more cost effective, since retroactively securing a system after an attack is usually much more expensive than preventing one.
So, while the physical security on airports has been tightened significantly, it would seem the cybersecurity of this important infrastructure still needs a lot of work, especially when you consider the sheer number of cyberattacks on the industry that have taken place in the last few years.
Those in the aviation, air traffic, and air cargo industries need to include cybersecurity in their budget and design proposals for 2019, otherwise the excrement might really hit the propeller.

Industrial growth in Asia is driving the global acetic market with the region accounting for 60% demand in 2011 and China almost 40% demand, states a new report by GBI Research, that adds the industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.7% in future years to reach 15 million tonnes in 2020.
Acetic acid is an important chemical with applications in several downstream industries like textiles, food processing and several other industrial chemical processes. Acetic acid prices are mainly driven by the prices of feedstock and methanol and demand for its derivatives, including Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM), which is used in paints, adhesives and coatings, and Purified Terephthalic Acid (PTA), which is mainly used in the manufacture of polyester and fibres, as well as acetic anhydride and ethyl acetate. An increasing trend in acetate esters being used mainly as solvents for inks, paints and coatings has also been observed in the last few years.
On the technological front, emerging technologies are offering promising opportunities for growth within the chemicals industry. Manufacturers of acetic acid are increasingly updating their processes from older technologies such as the methanol carbonylation process. Next-generation technologies like BP's Cativa and Celanese's AO-plus (Acid Optimisation Plus) boast significant savings in variable costs, lower capital costs for the construction of new plants, increased capacity, enhanced production efficiency, reduced energy consumption by approximately 30%, and lower operating costs. An increasing trend towards the adoption of these new technologies is likely to be seen across the world in the coming years, which will drive the global growth of the acetic acid market.
With new capacity coming online in the forecast period, China should continue to be the engine of global acetic acid growth over the next few years, as the emerging economy's giant population dictates its huge consumption potential and tremendous growth opportunities, while developed nations such as Japan and Germany have seen domestic demand for acetic acid largely stabilize. Asia-Pacific will continue its growth momentum in the coming years, and stands to be the global growth engine for the acetic acid market.
The US had the second-largest acetic acid demand share after China in 2011, and a complete recovery in the US economy will boost the global growth of acetic acid in the future.


Microsoft's Windows 10 IoT Fall Creators Update release includes a bunch of new and enhanced features, plus a couple of new capabilities still in preview.
Windows 10 isn't just for PCs. It's also available on other Microsoft device types, including Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
As is the case on other device types, Microsoft's addition of thousands of new application programming interfaces (APIs), making the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) support .NET Standard 2.0, makes it easier for .NET developers to port their code and libraries to Windows 10 IoT devices.
Microsoft also improved ink support on Windows 10 IoT Core and expanded Assigned Access support to allow running multiple UWP and Win32 apps in a locked-down/single-purpose device type, like kiosks. Microsoft also enabled Emergency Management Services on Windows 10 IoT Core with the Fall Creators Update release; enabled user mode bus access on Windows 10 IoT Enterprise; and extended support for controlling customer-facing 2X20 line displays on devices like point-of-sale (POS) terminals.
There are also a few features that are still in preview in the Windows 10 IoT Fall Creators Update release. Hosting Nano Server containers at the edge on 64-bit editions of Windows 10 IoT Core and Enterprise is one such feature. And support for Windows Device Health Attestation for leveraging a trusted service to verify a device's health state is another.
Microsoft also is working to simplify integration between Windows 10 IoT and Azure IoT, officials said. Azure IoT Edge on Windows 10 IoT, which is in preview, allows orchestration between cloud and edge devices. The Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service also is in preview.
Microsoft is just about a week into its staged rollout of its Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. So how's it going?
The fourth feature update to Windows 10 is here now. It's packed with a wide assortment of new and refined features, including some new security options designed to block zero-day exploits and ransomware. But should you upgrade now?


Since Jay Shafer create tiny house concept, this house development become fast. New consciousness about the importance of living in eco friendly become popular. All information about this house can easily be found on many small house blog. This tiny house is good alternative for several reasons. Portable house become most popular tiny house. This house type can be moved anywhere. People who own house is interested to have this house for traveling.

Drive car on the street, when they meet pleasant place, they stop to stay there for several times. They can move again to another place if bored with first place. Life become very fun.
Tiny house is also good solution for people who don't own a house. Usually people when they will build a house, they must first have land or they must buy land. Without land, this house is impossible built. This tiny house is the answer of this problem. We are not necessary to have land first to have a tiny house. This house can be placed anywhere where we like. It's living with freedom sensation. Wherever we go, this house can be brought. On this tiny house, people can do activity such as on common house. Sleeping, take a bath, cooking, reading a book, watching TV and so on can be done here. Besides that living here is more healthy for emotion and mind. Why? It's living in simplification. Our emotion and mind will not confuse with all of confusing problem such as living on city. Here we can free our mind and emotion from that situation. It's more healthy, because people usually choose place with natural atmosphere to stay with this tiny house. Information about living in tiny house can be found in small house blog.
A small house blog usually provide all of needs to live in this house. They provide book, sell tiny house and make workshop. A lot people are interested to follow this workshop. No matter, they are rich or poor, tiny house meet them. For rich people, tiny house give them new experience living in different way. For poor people with less money, this tiny house is their solution to get a house. As we know the price to buy a house or build a house is expensive. And tiny house come with affordable price, so who will refuse.
If on conventional house we must pay house building and land when we buy a house. Here on tiny house, we are not necessary to buy land. We just pay this house building. Land is not necessary to be paid, because this house can be placed anywhere. It can save a lot of money to buy this tiny house while we don't have enough budget to buy permanent house.

Potholes along DMACC Boulevard to be fixed soon
With winter almost over, drivers around the Ankeny DMACC campus are starting to notice more problems with the roads. Namely, pot holes.
Ned Miller, Director of the DMACC Physical Plant, said that next week they may start fixing the roads.
"We hope to start next week if the weather cooperates. The temperature needs to be above freezing and dry so we can clean and dry the pothole so the material will stay," Miller said.
Miller noted that the school uses pressurized air to clean the holes and then they put a cold patch on the holes in order to fix them.
"Each bag of repair mix costs $18 to $20…so it depends on the number of potholes and their size," Miller said.
According to Parker Friedrichsen, a Graphic Design major from Perry, Iowa, potholes are seen as more of a nuisance.
"Eh, I find them mildly annoying, having to do a quick swerve to avoid them," Friedrichsen stated.
According to Miller, DMACC will spend several thousand dollars on potholes this spring.
He also stated that they keep an inventory of the roads and drives and the number of parking lots at DMACC and their condition. Although repairs and replacements are done as needed and when the budget allows.
According to Friedrichsen, the money could be of better use elsewhere.
"Repairing the potholes would be appreciated, but I can't say if they're really needed right at this moment," Friedrichsen said.
Aundrea Hale, a Criminal Justice major at the Ankeny DMACC Campus agreed with Friedrichsen about the money being used elsewhere.
"I don't see anything wrong with the roads the way they currently are. I think the money would be better spent elsewhere," Hale said, "I vote on making the cafeteria food cheaper."
Potholes happen when water melts and mixes with the melting agent used on the roads works its way down into the road surfaces through tiny cracks. Then after it repeatedly freezes and thaws, it breaks up the pavement causing a pothole to form.
Potholes are also one of the major forms of auto accidents.
In a study done by State Farm insurance, vehicle repairs from the damage caused by potholes can cost a driver anywhere from $300 to $700. While there is not much that can be done about the deterioration of the roads, they do recommend some driving tips around these menaces in disguise.
These tips include but are not limited to:
Try to take roads you know well. Your familiarity will help you avoid potholes.
When driving at night, travel on well-lit roads so you can see the surface.
Slow down. Give yourself a chance to see the pothole and avoid it before you're in it.
If you hit a pothole, carefully inspect your tires and wheels for possible damage. Note how your car handles afterwards. If it "pulls" one way or the other or the steering feels wobbly, you may want to have your car checked by a professional.
If you can't avoid a pothole, do your braking before impact. There's less damage when a tire is rolling than skidding over a hole during braking. (State Farm Insurance)

Interview with Raygun's Mike Draper November 18, 2020


As tasty teas from throughout the globe grow in popularity in the USA, we have ever before a lot more brand names and also ranges of tea to contend with, each with their very own specific properties. Today I 'd like to introduce you to a "new" type of tea called Yerba Mate. Famous for its "clean buzz" - a caffeine high that isn't really accompanied by trembling or the accident commonly connected with coffee or traditional teas.
Yerba or Evra mate (obvious mah-tay) is a species of holly belonging to South America. As an organic drink, it is prepared by steeping the leaves and also twigs in hot water (not steaming). The generated drink is referred to as "mate".
Similar to eco-friendly tea in several ways, the taste of brewed mate is rather vegetal and grassy. Infused tastes with mint or citrus peels are likewise common. In Brazil and Argentina, a toasted variation is additionally prominent, referred to as "mate tea", and is served sweetened either warm or chilly with fruit juice or milk. Toasted Yerba Mate has much less of a bitter flavor and also is spicier.
Yerba contains generally a smaller amount of caffeine as compared to tea or coffee, with only 0.7-1.7% of its completely dry weight (compared to around 3.2% for dried ground coffee). Studies have discovered that Yerba mate unwinds smooth muscle cells while stimulating heart muscular tissues, compared to the high levels of caffeine web content of tea as well as coffee which tend to impact the central nerve system much more noticable compared to muscle tissue.
In regards to health advantages, research has mostly revealed both anti-obesity and cholesterol decreasing homes. Additionally, it has actually been revealed to have the greatest antioxidant potential of all types of ilex.
Though yerba has actually additionally been revealed on in numerous researches to have anti-carcinogenic homes as well as cancer-fighting capabilities, various other studies have actually associated yerba mate consumption with a raised occurrence of various types of cancer. The jury is still out, and absolutely nothing conclusive has been verified regardless.
Throughout South America cultures, yerba mate is consumed in a number of servings throughout the day, often communally. During cold weather, mate is served hot, while in warm periods it is combined with lemonade. Because of its bitter taste, mate is frequently sweetened with lemonade or milk and also honey when drunk by younger kids.
During a mate meeting, the host or whoever brought the mate prepare the beverage and refills the common gourd from which everybody beverages. The gourd is circulated the group, everyone drinking until it is vacant, and also returned it to the host to add even more hot water. A steel straw with a filter on one end avoids the drinker from getting a mouthful of leaves.
Paraguayans have a particularly poisonous practice of mixing mate with the smashed fallen leaves, stems as well as blossoms of the plant "agosto poty" throughout the months of August, which have alkaloids - though we do not suggest you attempt to replicate this as it is recognized to result in an uncommon liver problem called veno-occlusive disease, or liver failure.
I claim have a mug of yerba mate every morning. You might wind up loving it as long as I do!

Snap, Crackle and Hiss! The album is 70 years old this year. To celebrate this Platinum anniversary, a National Album Day has been announced to take place on Saturday, October 13th 2018. 1993 was my particular year of introduction to the party, and I'm fully aware of how youthful I am, thank you very much, but 70 years of life change tunes is pretty impressive!
Albums mean different things to different people. It's hard to imagine the cultural impact that collections of music have had, not just on British culture, but cultures from across the globe. There is no denying though that music is this bizarre combination of an individual and a shared experience.
Albums were also on many different formats too; cassettes were very popular and the Eight Track was so engrained in 1950's American car culture.
If you want to, you can tweet along with the day, follow what everyone else is doing by using these handles: @AlbumDayUK / #NationalAlbumDay. Along with the day itself, there will be a week-long, starting Monday, build up of events and activities across the country celebrating the album format involving all the amazing talent involved from artists, song writers, labels, retailers and sleeve designers.
At 3.33pm on National Album Day, Saturday 13th, everyone in the UK is asked to stop what they're doing, sit back, relax and play an album of choice in full, from start to finish. I know what I'm listening to… What about you?
P.S. *Now here's a thought, vinyl was the original term used to refer to vinyl. Then when the term album, pilfered from the earlier nineteenth century, came into popular use we started using terms like LP and EP. Bumbling around the 80's and 90's those terms were used less in favour of terms like CD and Album. Now we're back to vinyl again… All rivers flow into the sea but the sea is never full.


What Is Rockstar's Next Game?
Like many of you, I have put an ungodly amount of time into Red Dead Redemption II. It is one of my favorite games of the year and another shining example of why Rockstar is one of the best developers around.
It has got me thinking though, what is next for Rockstar? The smart money is that Grand Theft Auto 6 has already been in development for quite some time and that is going to be their next game. I have also thought that they might have tried their hand at bringing Grand Theft Auto V to the Nintendo Switch to squeeze a little more life out of that, which I would be cool with as that game was awesome.
One other thing they could perhaps have up their sleeves is some story DLC for Red Dead Redemption II. The Undead Nightmare DLC in the first Red Dead Redemption game was fantastic and just as good as the main game itself. I would love to see them do something like that again. What would make that even cooler is that if it lets you play as Arthur, John, and Sadie, I would love to get to play as Sadie as she was a great character.
It would be really cool if Rockstar decided to make a new game. The Warriors game they did was pretty random back in the day, but it was great and showed that they can handle licenses very well so maybe they could try something like that again?
I am sure I am not alone in wanting them to go back to Bully and do something with that? Bully on the Xbox 360 is one of their most underrated games and one that I play every couple of years to completion.
Rockstar may take their sweet time when they make games, but you never mind as you know that the end result is always going to be something that is very high quality.

Rugs may appear like carpets but that's about as much as they have in common. Generally, rugs are more delicate than carpets, made of different fibres woven in a different way to those of carpets. Carpets are designed to handle a lot of foot traffic and hide certain amount of dirt and soiling, whereas rugs don't tolerate much soiling or staining at all. Rugs are not as hard wearing and aren't designed to handle carpet cleaning methods too well. So avoid the No.1 mistake and don't treat your rugs as you do your carpets. Understanding how to clean and maintain a rug will keep it cleaner and looking better for longer.
For effective, regular rug cleaning all you really need is a properly working vacuum cleaner and a medium bristled brush. For stain removal however, you need formulated rug cleaning product, or a formulated carpet cleaner which also works on delicate rugs.
If attempting to remove stains from rug, be sure to apply a dedicated cleaning product. For lighter stains however, you may get away with applying a solution of warm water, small amount of white vinegar and a small amount of laundry detergent. Treat the affected area then blot out using a clean towel.
Machine washing of (suitably sized) rugs is possible but you must be careful as rugs are delicate and many of them won't handle machine washing too well.
Oriental (Persian) rugs are more delicate than your average doormat and need TLC when cleaning them. They get damaged easily from aggressive cleaning methods so take your time and be a tat more careful.
Overall cleaning a rug can be very much energy consuming. Cleaning your rug alone you can burn up to 300kcal!


Some fantasy jewels bring on to me allergic reactions. Can I wear your earrings?
The problem with fantasy jewellery is that metal parts may contain nickel, which is responsible for most part of allergies. All jewels proposed on this site are guaranteed without nickel, and this for a very simple reason: in France, nickel use in jewellery has been forbidden several years ago. So you can wear my jewels without any risk.
How can I protect my jewels ?
All your orders are individually packed in fabric pockets. When you don't wear your earrings or any other jewel, keep them inside the pocket.

Q: Apache2 phantom log entries This is the one of numerous same lines in apache2 error.log
PHP Deprecated:  Function split() is deprecated in /home/admin/www/public_html/file.php : eval()'d code on line 243

Problem is that this error was in old version of file.
File was updated about three weeks ago.
Now there isn't split() in file, but error continues.
Nginx 1.06 + Apache2.2 + PHP5

A: eval() functions are often used by hackers to add encoded code into old/vulnerable files getting it to do various things. This was likely injected code by a hacker. As suggested by quanta, run a grep in your directory to find all occurrences of this. If need be, review your files one at a time. Someone may have gained access to your server through vulnerable code.
The 'split()' function may also be encoded so searching for "split" may come up empty. In this case, view the following file in a text editor (I'd recommend not running it in a browser at all):

/home/admin/www/public_html/file.php

Most code is either injected right at the top or on the very bottom. It's usually encoded into base64. Look for gibberish text at either of these locations. If it doesn't exist in either of these places, start reviewing the code line-by-line.
Also, a lot of hackers will change the permissions of hacked files to read, write, execute for all users (777). Have a quick view of the permissions column via FTP to see if other files may have been altered.

Argentine Superliga round-up week 3: Boca and River maintain 100% record & off the pitch controversy for Temperley
Posted in Argentina By Vincent van RaamPosted on September 19, 2017 September 19, 2017
Patronato continued to pick up important points in a 1-3 win over Tigre. Midfielder Martin Rivero was excellent and popped up with 2 goals. He also completed 97%(!) of his passes. Tigre are yet to pick up a victory and will need to improve if they don't want to drop into the relegation zone. Tigre will face Belgrano (A), River Plate (H) and Racing Club (A) next. The second and last game of Friday took place in Santa Fe as Colon hosted Estudiantes. The latter had to improve over last week's 0-1 loss against DyJ but only managed to pick up a point against Colon. A classic stalemate which meant both teams shared the points. German Conti was excellent again in the heart of Colon's defense. Makes you wonder why he didn't get a move to Europe!
Defensa Y Justicia started the season brightly but were shocked at home as Union earned a somewhat surprising 1-3 victory. Franco Soldano was superb up front for the visitors, bagging himself two goals. The 23-year old forward has scored 3 goals in 3 games now and could move to a bigger club if he keeps his performances up. Paraguayan striker Epifanio Garcia earned himself a start against Argentinos Jrs. after he scored the winning goal last weekend. The former Guaraní man didn't disappoint as he equalised for Belgrano after Argentinos Jrs. took the lead early on. Belgrano completed their turnaround shortly after halftime The Cordoba-based club managed to hold and bring all three points back to Cordoba. A bit of a worrying start for Argentinos jrs, who have now lost their first two games.
Newell's problems off the pitch weren't visible on the pitch this weekend in Rosario as they got their first win of the season against Olimpo. Newell's youngster Lucas Leal opened the scoring in the 69th minute and Joaquin Torres secured La Lepra's victory 6 minutes later. San Lorenzo just edged past Arsenal in a 1-0 win. Talented defender Marco Senesi scored the only goal of the game in the 75th minute. A bit of a relief for El Ciclon who have now also picked up their first three points. The hosts played in a much-rotated side in anticipation of their Copa Libertadores clash with Lanus this week. They won the first fixture 2-0 and will now have to defend their lead away at Lanus.
German Denis turned into a hero for Lanus as he converted a 96th-minute penalty to secure all three points for the visitors. The veteran striker played for Independiente last season but they will be less happy with him this weekend. Two exciting teams with plenty of talented youngsters faced each other in a rather disappointing clash. Talleres and Velez played out a stalemate and both sides ended with 10 men. No Maxi Romero show this weekend, but he's still the league's top scorer with 4 goals in 3 games. Chacarita Juniors had a tough trip to Atletico Tucuman but managed to scrape out a draw. Just like last weekend, their game ended in a 1-1 draw. The hosts rotated their starting XI as well as they face Independiente in the Copa Argentina this upcoming week.
Banfield hosted a slightly weakened Racing side on Sunday. The hosts were excellent last season at home and continued that trend this weekend. Banfield only had 37% possession but managed to keep all three points in the Florencio Sola. A cross from Mouche was headed in by who else than Dario Cvitanich. The veteran striker is enjoying a rather productive return to his boyhood club.
Boca Juniors faced Godoy Cruz in the Bombonera and the visitors brutally took the lead in the 12th minute via Lucas Galeano. Boca Juniors proved their strength though, as they turned their 0-1 deficit around in a 4-1 victory. Goals by Pavon, Pablo Perez 2x and Nahitan Nandez. The Uruguayan scored a minute into his Boca debut and is definitely a player to keep your eye on this season. It was River Plate's task to keep up with Boca and not slip up early on. They faced San Martin away from home but it proved to be a rather comfortable victory for Los Millonarios. Rafael Borré opened his tally for River Plate in the 4th minute but the main man on the pitch was Carlos Auzqui. The former Estudiantes striker scored a goal, assisted another and actually got the ball in his own net as well. A 1-3 victory for River who have picked all possible 9 points so far.
There were still two games to be played on Monday. Huracan had to visit Gimnasia in La Plata and Temperley hosted Rosario Central. Huracan's main man Wanchope got things going for them as he scored the opening goal and assisted the second to extend Huracan's lead. Former Melbourne City loanee Nicolas Colazo pulled one back for Gimnasia but it was Huracan who took all three points home. Pussetto scored his second goal of the game late on to secure the victory. 1-3.
Temperley will be fighting against relegation this season but have some issues off the pitch now as well. Temperley defender Alexis Zaraté has been sentenced to 6,5 years in jail for sexual abuse which he committed while he was at Independiente. However, Temperley were able to select him for the match squad as Zaraté appealed against the decision. Strangely, Temperley actually did. After some pressure from both the media and the public, Temperley brought out a statement later on which stated that they weren't going to play Zaraté against Central. It was a weird decision to put him in the match squad in the first place as you don't want to be associated with sexual violence as a club, do you? But anyway, onto the football. Zampedri opened the scoring for Central in the first half but somehow Central couldn't find the net another time. However, Temperley could, as they equalized 10 minutes after the break. No more goals were scored which meant both teams shared a point. Central will be disappointed with this result and have now drawn their first three games.

KFOR SUPPORTS YOUNG PLAYERS OF TREPCA BASKETBALL CLUB
PRISTINA - Twenty four professional basketballs and forty-eight sets consisting of shirt, jersey and trousers were donated by KFOR to Basketball Club Trepca in South Mitrovica. The club's mission is to bring together children and youth groups of different Kosovo ethnicities to socialize through basketball training and competitions. Basket is very popular in Kosovo, and KB Trepca programmes involve 2,000 girls and boys aged between 10 and 18. KFOR will contribute to the club's activities, which also include specific courses for young people belonging to the Roma, Ashkali and Egyptian communities living in the region.
"KFOR is committed to foster inter-ethnic coexistence and has included the donation in its initiatives to assist local institutions and organizations", stated US Army Colonel Noel Hoback, KFOR Regional Command East's Deputy Commander. The project was funded by NATO and implemented by the KFOR Civil-Military Cooperation branch, in close cooperation with the US-led Regional Command East.
"We are very grateful to KFOR. Our mission is to engage children and youth groups of different ethnicities through basketball training programs, sessions, conditioning drills and competitions. These activities allow young generations to exercise, socialize and develop skills that will be useful throughout their lives. KFOR donation will bring us closer to our goal", declared Naim Hajrizi, the director of Basketball Club Trepca.
The delivery took place at South Mitrovica Sport Hall, where 24 girls and 24 boys were handed-over a set by KFOR soldiers, whilst taking preventive measures against COVID19. A three on three tournament with the new equipment concluded the event.
"Due to COVID19 I had to train outdoor and am now looking forward to the new regular season, which will benefit of KFOR's donation", said Melisa, a KB Trepca young member who plays in the women's league.

Q: How to define NULL using #define I want to redefine NULL in my program such as
#define MYNULL ((void*)0)

But this definition is not working in the following statement:
char *ch = MYNULL;

Error : can not convert from void* to char *

What would be the best way to define NULL?

A: #define MYNULL NULL

is the safest, I see no reason in doing so but if you really want to, go ahead.
Here's how C and C++ do it respectively:
#define NULL 0 //C++
#define NULL ((void*)0) //C

Generally speaking, defining 0 for NULL is a bad habit, you actually want it to be part of the language. C++0x adresses this.
This is what Bjarne Stroustrup has to say on this:

Should I use NULL or 0?
In C++, the definition of NULL is 0, so there is only an aesthetic difference. I prefer to avoid macros, so I use 0. Another problem with NULL is that people sometimes mistakenly believe that it is different from 0 and/or not an integer. In pre-standard code, NULL was/is sometimes defined to something unsuitable and therefore had/has to be avoided. That's less common these days.
If you have to name the null pointer, call it nullptr; that's what it's called in C++11. Then, "nullptr" will be a keyword.

A: #define MYNULL 0

will work in C++

A: Don't do this. There is nothing that says that NULL has to be the value zero, it's implementation specific.
It could be a value that represents the end of memory, some special place in memory, or even an object that represents no value exists.
Doing this is very dangerous, may break portability, and will most certainly screw with code-aware editors.  It isn't buying you anything, trust your library's definition.
EDIT: Evan is correct!  The code itself will say zero, under the hood the compiler can do what it wants with implementation specific details.  Thanks Evan!

A: #ifdef __cplusplus
#define MYNULL 0
#else
#define MYNULL ((void*)0)
#endif

will work in both of them.

A: What exactly is the problem with getting your NULL from where you're supposed to?, i.e.,
#include <stddef.h>

or
 #include <cstddef>

as alluded to in @Johannes Rudolph's answer, any trickery you do is not likely be very future proof in the face of things like nullptr etc.
EDIT: while stdlib (and many others) are mandated to include a NULL, stddef is the most canonical header [and has been for decades].
PS In general, it's just a bad idea to get involved in this sort of trickery unless you have a really good reason. You didnt expand on the thinking that led you to feeling the need to do this. If you could add some detail on that, it's likely to lead to better answers. Other people answering the question should have pointed this out in their answers too, but I guess does FGITW as FGITW does best :D
EDIT 2: As pointed out by @Yossarian: The single justification for doing this is if there isnt a NULL defined in an appropriately language-agnostic form elsewhere in your system. Naked compilers with no headers and/or if you're writing your own custom standard library from scratch are examples of such a circumstance. (In such a bare-bones scenario, I'd go with @lilburne's answer (be sure to use 0 as much as possible))

A: I think that anyone that doesn't know that setting a pointer in C/C++ to 0 is the same as setting it to NULL, nullptr, or any other equivalent shouldn't be messing with code. The difference in readability between
char* ch = NULL

and
char* ch = 0;

is minimal. When it comes to expressions the forms
if (NULL == ch) {
}
if (0 == ch) {
}
if (nullptr == ch) {
}

are no more readable than
if (!ch) {
}

A: In contrast to what some people state here, 0 is a perfectly valid definition for NULL in C. Thus you have to be careful when you give NULL as an argument to a variadic function, because it may be mistaken as the integer value 0, ending in non-portability.
http://c-faq.com/null/null2.html
BTW, the comp.lang.c FAQ is a highly recommended read for every C programmer. See for example here:
http://c-faq.com/null/null1.html
containing such gems of nearly-forgotten wisdom like "As mentioned above, there is a null pointer for each pointer type, and the internal values of null pointers for different types may be different." Which means that calloc or memset are NOT a portable initialization for pointers.

A: #define NULL 0 //for C

is the perfect definition in C
e.g.
char *ch = NULL ;
*ch++ ;// will cause error

it causes error since ch pointing to nothing while executing increment statement
is known by compiler by seeing the value of pointer in LOOK-UP table to be 0
if u try to update this pointer then u are actually changing the contents of
CODE region which start at 0 physical address.
FOR that reason the first entry of page table prior to code region starts
is kept empty
What exactly is the problem with getting your NULL from where you're supposed to?, i.e.,
#include <stddef.h>

or
#include <cstddef>

as alluded to in @Johannes Rudolph's answer, any trickery you do is not likely be very future proof in the face of things like nullptr etc.
