Q: Check whether argv[1] is a hex string I have a simple program which takes IP address as its only argument. The IP address can be in two formats: doted decimal or hex. Depending on which was used, I need to perform different operation.
Thus I need to check if the argument is
1) IP in dotted decimal format
2) IP in hex format
3) other (illegal/malformed argument)

How would I best check that ?
Should I use some kind of regular expressions? A correctly formed hex address must have 8 hex characters, [0-9a-f]{8}. Correct decimal dotted IP must contain 4 numbers [0-255] and 3 dots.

A: You can use isxdigit(character) from the <ctype.h>, which checks whether character is a hexadecimal digit or not.

UPDATE:
If my presumption is correct, and the "dotted" address is like: (\d{1,3}\.){3}\d{1,3} and the hexadecimal address is: [a-zA-Z0-9]{8}, then you are looking for something like this:
#include <string.h>
#include <stdbool.h>

bool
isxip(const char *address)
{
    for (int i=0; i<strlen(address); i++)
        if (address[i] == '.')
            return false;
    return true;
}

A: When it contains dots then it is most likely not a hex string.

COE Visit Day hosts record numbers
COE Visit Day attendees toured the University's Botanic Gardens.
Standing in front of a room filled with potential students and their supporters, senior Special Education major Tyson Neurath declared, "I promise you will not regret one moment you spend at Georgia Southern."
Student speaker for the College of Education's Visit Day, Neurath shared her experiences at the University, highlighting several aspects that make both the COE and Georgia Southern an outstanding choice including the top-notch education programs, atmosphere of respect for others, diversity, and a beautiful campus.
A record-setting 39 high school and transfer students attended the College's Visit Day which included meeting faculty and current students, education degree program information sessions, and campus tours. Throughout the day, many students commented on the positive reputation of the education programs at Georgia Southern as part of their reasoning for considering the University.
Rebecca Chancey, a transfer student from Savannah, explained that she was majoring in physical therapy at her previous school and wanted a change.
"I worked as a summer camp counselor for years and loved it," she said. "When I worked specifically with the six-year-olds, it assured me of my choice to change to an early childhood education major."
Chancy said that when considering her options, she spoke with several friends who completed education degrees from Georgia Southern, and they assisted her in making the decision.
"My friends could not speak more highly of their education programs and the campus, and when they graduated from Georgia Southern, they received jobs right away because people in education knew the 'Georgia Southern' name," she added.
Elizabeth Dean, high school senior from Dalton, GA, said she was interested in the middle grades education program and was planning to attend Georgia Southern.
"Middle school is when students are trying to figure out who they are, and it's a very influential time in their life," said Dean. "I chose Georgia Southern because it's big, but it still has that small feel…and I really like that."
Current student panel participants (l-r) Micaiah Watson, Hutch Swafford, Katelyn Chancey, Tyler Brownridge, and Tyson Neurath answered questions from COE Visit Day participants.
Participating students and supporters at the College's Visit Day were treated to a lunch with faculty and staff representatives after which they toured the University's Botanic Gardens and Old Schoolhouse. They also attended information sessions about the education degree programs and participated in a panel with current students. Representing a variety of COE programs, the current COE students participating in the student panel included Micaiah Watson (Early Childhood Education); Hutch Swafford (Middle Grades Education); Katelyn Chancey (Health and Physical Education); Tyler Brownridge (Early Childhood Education); and Tyson Neurath (Special Education).
During the current student panel, Watson emphasized to the attendees how important they are as future educators.
"In this field, you are working for more than just a paycheck; you are a role model," Watson said. "You can have such a profound impact on a child's life, and being a male, I have a unique perspective as these students need to see positive male influences in their school life."
The College of Education hosts Visit Day twice each year. The next Visit Day will be held on February 3, 2017. For more information, visit http://admissions.georgiasouthern.edu/visit/on-campus-events/ and select "major-specific visits."

Pics of your GT350 or S550 Mustang at the track!
Discussion in 'Road Racing Forum' started by VoodooBoss, Dec 13, 2015.
I like it and welcome to TMO. I think those are the first photos on TMO of a right hand drive Mustang on track!
Yea it's amaysing how good these cars handle on the track, I had the FR3 suspension pack installed and it also has the PP brembo's with Hawk pads and stock Pirellie tires it handles great.

Since I posted my GT350R track vid in the Boss302 track thread (oops), I thought I'd try again and say hi here. Noob here just getting my bearings as I get used to my 2018 Orange Fury. Here's a pic in the pits at Sonoma Raceway. Hope to see some of you out there at a track event soon! (NASA TT2 for me this year). Also a short video from inside at Thunderhill West. I have the sound-defeat plugs installed on this with an external GoPro microphone. Pretty quiet!
I'm already on my second set of PSC2s and about to make my first brake pad change (adding Caliperfexion studs and trying G-Loc pads), so I'm also considering trying a different tire, maybe 305 Toyo R88Rs (but they seem heavy at 31 lbs each), or even Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 305s all around (100TW and 29 lbs).
tracktardicus, DocWalt, Bill Pemberton and 3 others like this.
I think the Toyo's are going to be slower than the SC2's. Unless you move to R7's in a 315 square setup the stock R sizes in the SC2 are going to be hard to beat if you're concerned about lap times.
Dave_Car_Guy and Bill Pemberton like this.
Voodoo is so right. The Toyos will be slower. Nice post and love the color of you Shelby R!!
The Omega / Budweiser Balcony turns 3, 4, and 5 at different times of the day last month. One of my favorite tracks of the different courses I have under my belt so far.

Thank you, that's interesting! I have been running R888s and Nitto NT01s on my Cayman for years, and I've loved them more than the MPSC2s, for slightly better lap times and noticeably longer life. But that a different car entirely, so it's good to know the SC2 is hard to beat. I do use the SC2s on another of my cars and it seems to be the best setup there. Also, for the 350R I had considered the Hoosier R7 as well, I wasn't sure they'd do far better on lap times. What's your opinion there... a couple seconds faster for the R7? (for example, at Laguna or Sonoma). And yes, lap time is my #1 consideration, longevity is #2, and price #3 (tied into #2, so let's call it price per track day).
Can respond on your question concerning the R7s, as I have seen about 1 to1.5 seconds improvement with the R7s on the two main tracks I run. Neither is as high speed as Willow and they will wear quicker than the Sport Cup 2s. If it is a super hot day the Michelins may even be quicker , or equal, as it still takes longer for them to get greasy compared to the Hoosiers.
Black Boss may chime in as he has run both tires quite often and he has experience on some high speed tracks - Daytona, Watkins Glen, etc.
R7's are going to be the fastest. The R specific tires are bespoke and work very well.


Greenwich Police Chief James Heavey, Dominic Delfino, Kerrin Coyle, and Judy Goss meeting at Joey B's to plan Thank a Cop Day.
In collaboration with Greenwich Police, Joey B's in Cos Cob will host "Thank a Cop Day" on Tuesday, September 27.
The event, which will run all day, from 6:00am until 8:00pm, will feature Officer Asphalt and his police cruiser. A large banner and magic markers will hang outside the restaurant for residents to share their messages of thanks.
Greenwich Police Explorers will distribute lengths of blue ribbon that residents can take home to wrap around trees and tie in a bow to spread the message across town.
Kids will receive blue lollipops and first responders can have one of Joey B's famous hot dogs compliments of Mr. Delfino.
While the event is not a fundraiser, there will be a donation can for the Greenwich Police Scholarship Fund.
A committee that includes Joey B's owner Mr. Delfino, State Rep Fred Camillo, Greenwich Police Chief Heavey and Sgt Thorme, along with Joey B's regulars Kerrin Coyle and Judy Goss, have been planning the event for several weeks.
Radio personality Lisa Wexler will broadcast her show on WGCH 1490 live from Joey B's from 4:00-6:00pm during the event.
Mr. Delfino, who counts cops on the local force as regulars, and has relatives who work in law enforcement, had the idea for the Thank A Cop Day.
"These guys put themselves out there every day to keep us safe," Delfino said. "We just want to give thanks to the great force keeping Greenwich businesses and residents safe.
Joey B's Famous Chili Hub is located at 118 River Road Extension, in Cos Cob.
On Saturday the YES Club at GHS worked with Birdie's Auto Spa to sanitize thousands of pieces of donated sports equipment that will eventually be distributed to the Boys & Girls Club of Greenwich, and to organizations as far as Bridgeport, Stamford and Port Chester.
Four men, who all happen to reside in New York, were sworn in as Greenwich Police Department's newest officers. Several have family who are police officers. One has an older brother on the Greenwich force.
Joey B's is a diner-style restaurant with a calm atmosphere, good service, and simple yet delicious food.

Sanders Campaign Reaches Out To Black Lives Matter Activists: "I Apologize It Took Our Campaign So Long"
In an email to activists obtained by BuzzFeed News, Bernie's African-American outreach director proposes a formal meeting between the senator and the activists who have disrupted his campaign this summer. Update: On Meet the Press Sunday, Bernie said he did not think his campaign needed to apologize to activists for the delay in reaching out.

WASHINGTON — After protests twice derailed campaign events in recent weeks, the Bernie Sanders campaign has asked to meet with Black Lives Matter activists in Washington.
In an email obtained by BuzzFeed News, the campaign's African-American outreach director, Marcus Ferrell, told a group of activists that Sanders wanted a more formal interaction. As a sitting U.S. senator, the meeting could be arranged as a means of "possibly introducing legislation and making a constitutional change. We would like to know what YOU would like to see happen."
Campaigns are rushing to curry favor with Black Lives Matter activists, whose public actions confronting Sanders twice disrupted the campaign, forcing Sanders to more forcefully voice his support of the movement. He has also since announced Symone Sanders, who is a young black woman, as his national press secretary; she was hired after she met with the senator about the activism and criminal justice. Bernie Sanders has also released a comprehensive racial justice platform, referenced by Ferrell in the email.
According to a source familiar with the communication, Symone Sanders reached out to the women who confronted Sanders and shut down his rally in Seattle that had been attended by thousands. But when they requested to meet with the senator himself and demanded an apology for how he'd treated the activists at Netroots, the campaign declined.
Many activists were also displeased that Symone Sanders seemed to introduce a way to silence protesters — telling supporters to chant "We Stand Together" should they interrupt the candidate while he spoke at a rally earlier this month in Portland.
"As you may or may not know, our campaign and your movement has run across each other on 2 different occasions. We would like to have a more formal interaction with the movement," Ferrell wrote in the email. "We are hoping to establish a REAL space for REAL dialog between the folks on this email and our campaign."
Sanders, the candidate, has said no candidate for president is going to work harder to eradicate racial injustice. But the aide took it a step further Saturday.
"Thank you for the diligent work for our community," he wrote in the email.
Here's the full email:
My name is Marcus Ferrell, I am a senior staffer for Senator Bernie Sanders presidential bid in 2016.
I am reaching out to you on behalf of our campaign because you are the folks doing the work for Black Lives Matter. I apologize it took our campaign so long to officially reach out. We are hoping to establish a REAL space for REAL dialog between the folks on this email and our campaign. If you guys know of anyone that should be on this email chain and is not, please feel free to forward them this message and my contact information.
As you may or may not know, our campaign and your movement has run across each other on 2 different occasions. We would like to have a more formal interaction with the movement. We wanted to let you know that we hear you, we want to do a better job speaking out on the issues, and as a sitting U.S. Senator, possibly introducing legislation and making a constitutional change. We would like to know what YOU would like to see happen. Would you be willing to have a preliminary conference call to set up a face to face meeting with the Senator in DC? I'd like to get feed back from you to see if that could even be an option.We would like to meet with you within the next month.
We have introduced a Racial Justice platform on our website. Please feel free to take a look at it and tell us where we can improve and strengthen our platform. https://berniesanders.com/issues/racial-justice/.
My contact information is below. Feel free to call, email, direct message me at any time. Thank you for the diligent work for our community. Onward and Upward.

On Sunday, Sanders told Meet The Press that the message had been sent out without his knowledge by a staffer, that the campaign was reaching out to all kinds of groups, that Black Lives Matter was important, and that he did not think the campaign needed to apologize for the delay in officially reaching out:
CHUCK TODD: BuzzFeed has an article out this morning. Headlines is this: Sanders' campaign reaches out to Black Lives Matter activists. Quote, I apologize it took our campaign so long. Tell me more about it.
BERNIE SANDERS: Well, that was sent out by a staffer, not by me. Look, we are reaching out to all kinds of groups, absolutely. I met with people at Black Lives Matter. We're reaching out to Latino groups. We're reaching out to the unions. We're fighting to expand Social Security and we're reaching out to senior groups. We're reaching out to health care groups because we believe that everybody in America is entitled to health care. We're reaching out to everybody.
But on this issue of Black Lives Matter, let me be very clear, the issue that they are raising is a very, very important issue. There is no candidate for president who will be stronger in fighting against institutional racism and, by the way, reforming a broken criminal justice system.
Chuck, we have more people in jail in the United States of America than any country on Earth. And we need real changes. We need to do away with the militarization of local police departments. We need to do away with minimum sentencing. We needed indication and jobs for our young people rather than jails and incarceration.
TODD: I understand that. But you said a staffer put it out but you felt an apology was necessary?
SANDERS: No. I don't. I think we're going to be working with all groups. This was sent out without my knowledge.

Redskins Sign Former Buckeye QB Dwayne Haskins to 4-Year Deal
May 9, 2019 by Tony Gerdeman
Say hello to America's newest millionaire — former Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins has inked his first-round deal with the NFL's Washington Redskins.
As with all first-round draft picks, the deal is for four years with a team option for a fifth year.
Haskins' deal is expected to be in the neighborhood of $14.4 million with an $8.5 million signing bonus. His 2019 salary will be around $2.6 million.
Washington selected Haskins with the 15th overall pick in the first round. He was the third quarterback taken off the board, following Oklahoma's Kyler Murray to Arizona with the first overall pick and Duke's Daniel Jones to the New York Giants with the sixth overall pick.
Haskins is expected to compete with Colt McCoy and Case Keenum for the starting job this season. Haskins will make his debut on Friday when Washington opens up their rookie camp.
Also signing on Thursday was former Buckeye cornerback Kendall Sheffield, who inked a four-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons.
No other Buckeye draftees have signed yet.
Defensive end Nick Bosa will be signing the biggest deal, as he was selected second overall in the first round.
Two other former Buckeyes were in the NFL transaction wire this week. The Oakland Raiders signed former receiver Jalin Marshall on Tuesday, then cut him on Thursday.
Former running back Rod Smith signed an unrestricted free agent deal with the New York Giants, where he will provide a big-back complement to Saquon Barkley.

Because of, well established relationship between seasonal variability and diseases dynamism we embarked here in evaluating recurrently diagnosed diseases dynamism at Korhogo General Hospital in Northern Côte d'Ivoire from 2014 to 2018. For this purpose, clinical data with regard 1707 patients were collected and clusterized in 25 diseases cases. Data have been submitted to multivariate and computational statistical survey with the purpose to assess recurrently diagnosed diseases dynamism from 2014 to 2018. Results supported strong effect of year's dynamism on recurrent diseases variability by exhibiting high frequency of malaria and hypertension diseases cases. Findings also revealed two diseases clustering groups in terms of diseases variability dynamism. Of note, malaria and high blood pressure diseases exhibited a contrasting attitude in assessing recurrently diagnosed diseases dynamism. Indeed, high blood pressure disease exhibited regular increasing dynamism by contrast to malaria that displayed a relative irregular increasing dynamism. Variance homogeneity tests and descriptive clustering analysis, clusterized recurrently diagnosed diseases at Korhogo General Hospital in two distinct groups, associated to malaria and hypertension, in terms of those diseases increasing dynamism. Diseases discriminated as exhibiting regular increasing dynamism (i.e. diabetes, gastritis, asthma, gastroenteritis and bronchitis) and associated to hypertension, meanly claim to be influenced by patients age parameter as opposed to those showing irregular increasing dynamism; i.e., malaria and influenza (p>0.05). Furthermore, findings revealed cardiac pathologies dynamism as relatively influenced by patients gender and age as opposed to lumbosciatic, back pain, pneumonia and osteoarthritis diseases dynamism that exhibited sole age parameter as a source of data variability (p=0.02-0.07). To conclude our study highlighted a relative yearly increasing diseases variability and revealed two tendencies in assessing recurrently diagnosed diseases dynamism at Korhogo General Hospital from 2014 to 2018.
Key words: Recurrently diagnosed diseases dynamism, Bartlett, Fligner-Killeen and Tukey statistical tests, Korhogo General Hospital.

Why the newest BMW X3 comes with an EV charging plug
Which camper is right for you?
Motor Mouth: In praise of plug-in hybrids
How does a plug-in hybrid work? Should I buy one? We explain, via the X3 xDrive30e
by Justin Pritchard | October 8, 2020
For the first time ever, BMW has added a plug-in port to its popular X3 luxury crossover. A staple of its market segment, X3 has existed across the decades and generations in a far-reaching selection of variants that cater to a wide range of customer tastes and needs.
Today, X3 can be had in no less than four configurations, ranging from mild to wild on the performance spectrum.
The most recent of these configurations is called xDrive30e—the 'e' in the name designates a Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) that uses electrification to enhance two things BMW customers expect: efficiency and performance.
Why BMW added a hybrid system
First, the PHEV tech boosts output. You get 288 ponies to the standard model's 244. There's more torque, more of the time, and the electric motor smooths the driveline out and keeps it quieter, more often.
Second, the PHEV tech saves fuel—perhaps most notably by enabling about 30 kilometres of all-electric driving range before the gasoline engine turns on.
So, the X3 xDrive30e intends to take a big bite out of your fuel consumption, while improving performance.
For many drivers, this technology makes fuel-free daily commuting and errands a real possibility. Imagine going to the gas station a few times a year, instead of a few times a month. Or only ever using gasoline on longer weekend trips out of town.
How a plug-in hybrid system works
Most vehicles are gasoline-powered, using a gas-burning engine for propulsion.
Hybrid vehicles add an electric motor and self-recharging battery to the gas-burning engine. The battery charges automatically as you drive, storing energy the electric motor can use to help lighten the workload of the gas engine, saving fuel.
There's no plug required here: all of the electricity the battery can store is generated, as needed, while the car is being driven.
How It Works: Making sense of EV specifications
How It Works: Regenerative Braking
A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), works the same way, by teaming up a gas engine and electric motor and self-recharging battery. As hybrids do, the PHEV runs on a mix of gasoline and electricity.
The battery in the PHEV can store more electricity than the battery in a hybrid. In fact, a PHEV battery can store so much electricity, the only way to fill it completely is by connecting it to an external power source.
A small portion of the PHEV battery can be self-recharged as you drive, but a total refill requires plugging in.
On a Level 2 Charger, whether at home or in public, that total refill takes a few hours. On a standard household plug, its roughly an overnight process.
When its battery is full, perhaps each morning when you leave for work or after leaving a mall, you'll disconnect the charger, hop on board, and be greeted with about 30 kilometres of all-electric driving range. That's thirty clicks of noiseless, creamy-smooth driving, before any gasoline usage is required.
Though 30 kilometres is on the lower-end of PHEV electric driving range, it's still enough to get many Canadians completely off of fuel for their daily commuting and general running around.
Your home becomes your charging station, where the X3's electric system refuels itself while the vehicle is parked. Public charging stations can help keep the battery full along your daily route, too.
What to know about plug-in hybrids
First, you needn't fill the battery when plugging in. Little sips of electricity here and there can keep it topped off as you move through your day.
Second, plugging in a PHEV is never mandatory. You plug this type of vehicle in only if and when you like. The more you plug in, the more fuel you save—but it's entirely optional.
The sticky? There is no situation in which a PHEV driver ever needs to find a plug so they can continue their trip.
After all, once the all-electric range is depleted, the gasoline hybrid engine turns on, automatically. The straight-four turbo in the X3 is a smooth and quiet operator, so when it does come online, you hardly even notice. It's fully automatic: nothing for the driver to do, watch, monitor, or think about.

Simply, once all-electric driving is no longer possible, the X3 switches seamlessly to gas hybrid mode, and on you go—until the fuel tank is empty, many hundreds of kilometres later.
At that point, just refill the tank, and keep going. As long as there's gas in the tank, you're good to go with maximum performance.
This leaves drivers with an all-electric drive for shorter trips, but the confidence of gasoline power for longer ones. It's like driving an EV if you're just going to hit the gym and pick up the groceries, and a conventional hybrid vehicle for the longer-distance voyages.
How often do you drive more than 30 kilometres before parking your vehicle for an extended period of time? If the answer is 'often', and if you don't mind plugging in before you park for the night, this technology can take a serious bite out of your fuel bill and emissions.

It started out looking like this. I received an email through my web site from a women in Philadelphia. She said she had a sinking spot in her small 12x10 back yard. (space) is more like it. She asked if I wanted to check it and dig it if it was a privy. I excepted with out hesitation. Me and 3 of my buddies made the trip to center city Philly the fallowing weekend. This is how it went.
Chris Aka "Blade" feels the hole out. He can tell if it is a privy just by sitting in it. He is that good.
From a sunk in spot in the bricks to this in a few hours.
A few bottles are starting to show. A blown Philly crown top.
Philadelphia blob top. They are getting older. We found 1930s milk bottles at the start of this monster. That is a good sign that this one was never dipped. They used to dig really deep holes in Philly so they wound never have to dip them (clean them out) Who would want to clean out a deep brick hole full of fresh crap? No one! That is great for the privy digger. That means more bottles.
The home owner Lauren brings out some homemade brownies for the crew. This day is looking up!
I think my bone is down there?
Deeper and deeper it goes. Our 10 foot probe still buries to the handle.
The home owner Lauren had to ask her neighbors if we could use their back area to put fill from the privy. There was just to much of it. We ran out of room fairly quick. I am glad she said ok because that would have put an end to the dig. This is the first time this has happened to any of us digging outhouses.
Soon I had to brake out the head light. You can see why.
Lunch time and picture time.
Home owner takes a few shots from the roof.
The home owner Lauren whips us up some lunch. It was more like a "Privy Party" then just a regular ole privy dig. They fed us all day and even bought pizza for us at night when we were filling it in. yes we were there pretty dang late. We need more permissions like this. Thanks again for the fun day folks.
How many people can take a selfie like this??
Hey everyone! Look down the hole!
Now it was getting a little hairy. It was 10pm and we were not hitting bottom with the probe. We were running out of room in the neighbors flat and the 30 foot chain ladder was starting to worry us also. It was rolled out at 30 feet and there was at least 7 foot left to dig to hit bottom. I was in the hole when I decided I had enough. I was down there for over half an hour. When I made my way out I realized I had left the light the probe and my shovel down there, I thought someone would go next to dig. But no one wanted to go down. We were pretty much beat up. We had to fill it in when we were done and that was going to take super human strength. Don decided to go back down to get the tools and scratch around a bit more. He probed one more time and the 6 foot probe sunk to the handle! with out touching bottom! That meant there was a lot left to go and we were out of space ,energy and ladder length. This Monster privy may have gone 40 feet or more! It is a shame we could not finish it. I know the bottom was pontil age. The house was built in 1858. No doubt it would have had some cool civil war era stuff down there also. We did not know what to expect when we started this thing. Next time we will have a longer ladder!
Putting the bricks back .


Want a cool light meter that transmits data straight to your smartphone?
Kickstarter's successful Illuminati Wireless Light and Color Meter project is launching shortly at retail with a price tag of $USD 299 and may be just what you want.
Billed as a "wireless, smartphone-connected light and color ambient and strobe meter for photography and filmmaking," the project by Michael Okincha brought in over $USD 131,000 from 532 backers who liked the promise of an easy-to-use device to meter both light and color.
The gadget continuously measures while it is on and displays this information on the attendant iPhone or Android app. The data is transmitted in real time to your device via a Bluetooth connection. The measurements can even be read via a linked smartwatch (if you have an Android or Apple Watch attached to your device).
Image via Illuminati Kickstarter page.
The Illuminati is the size of a person's palm and can measure direct or reflected ambient light, strobes (including HSS), and can measure color. Its size allows for ultimate portability and flexibility in use.
Boasting its ability to help photographers get the color for their shots "just right," Illuminati goes beyond automatic settings and promises photographers to help them fulfill their artistic vision as much as possible with its technology.
Unlike conventional light meters, which have a sensor and display all in one, the Illuminati sheds all of that and retains only the parts critical to functioning. It can be mounted in a tripod socket, with a magnet, or a lanyard.
Programmable alarms also let photographers know if the brightness changes or if the color temperature changes as it is sensitive to ever-changing conditions.
The Illuminati can also be used concurrently with multiple other sensors, allowing photographers to meter "foregrounds and backgroudns, set strobe ratios, or monitor and manage multiple light sources (including flash!) or large areas at the same time. Using the connected app and the device of your choice, a photographer can even remotely trigger the meters and receive notifications about exposure or color shifts – an industry first, its Kickstarter page brags.
You can check out the Illuminati Kickstarter page here. The device should be available at retail soon.


A careful planning with a right opportunity would enable to realize your professional dreams. Only thing needed on your part is to maintain positive outlook and perseverance going. Monetary condition is likely to remain satisfactory. Time spent with family brings happiness. Romantic life would help in developing positive feelings.

Statement On The Fifteenth Meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention On Biological Diversity
The Amazon is home to a remarkable share of known global biodiversity, including 22% of the vascular plant species, 14% of the bird species, 9% of the mammal species, 8% of the amphibian species, and 18% of the fish species found in the Tropics. In parts of the Andes and the Amazonian lowlands, a single gram of soil may contain more than 1,000 fungi species. Endemism is high in the Amazonian lowlands, with around 34% of mammal species, 20% of bird species, and 58% of freshwater fish species found nowhere else on Earth. Scientists describe new species in the Amazon at the extraordinary rate of one every other day, as most taxonomic groups are still poorly known.
The extraordinary number of languages found in the Amazon has meaning. The more than 300 languages that exist in the Amazon today are a consequence of its outstanding biodiversity, as languages express biocultural connections which have co-evolved over time. When languages are lost, we also lose valuable ancestral knowledge accumulated over generations.
The Amazon's mega diverse ecosystems are critically important for mitigating climate change but remain threatened by destructive development. Approximately 17% of Amazonian forests have been converted to other land uses, and at least an additional 17% have been degraded. Land-use changes exacerbate global climate change through feedback mechanisms that reduce forest resilience. They also increase drought stress and fire risk, cause higher tree mortality, turn the Amazon from a carbon sink to source, and could ultimately reach a tipping point beyond which continuous forests can no longer exist and are replaced by permanent, degraded ecosystems. These cascading effects would have tremendous impacts on climate and, in turn, water supply, agriculture, hydropower generation, and human health and well-being, especially in and around the Amazon.
Human-induced disturbances (e.g., wildfires, deforestation, and degradation) and climate change act synergistically, amplifying their impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem processes. Deforestation and degradation may reduce evapotranspiration by 30% or more, increasing surface temperatures. Some regions are more likely to be affected by the synergistic effects of deforestation, degradation, and climate change than others; the eastern Amazon may lose up to 95% of forest cover by 2050, followed by the southwestern (81%) and southern Amazon (78%). Furthermore, deforestation, degradation and climate change interact to significantly increase fire risk and the prevalence of forest fires. Biodiversity loss is not only a problem in itself; it also has knock-on effects on critical ecosystem functions and services, such as pollination.
We must announce a code red for the Amazon. Saving existing forest and aquatic resources from continued deforestation and degradation and restoring ecosystems is one of the most urgent tasks of our time. We must conserve the Amazon and its people and address the global risks and impacts of climate change. Alternative and sustainable development pathways can support people and nature; these need to be integrated into regional and national policies.
The Science Panel for the Amazon, composed of over 200 scientists, calls for:
I) An immediate moratorium on deforestation in areas that are approaching tipping points, and zero deforestation and degradation across the region by 2030. Stopping deforestation, degradation, and wildfires in less than a decade is challenging but achievable.
II) The maintenance of at least 80% of forests standing – crucial to avoiding a potential tipping point and the loss of resilience.
III) Integrated, transboundary basin management, ensuring connectivity between the Amazon's diverse ecosystems.
IV) Restoration and remediation of forests and aquatic ecosystems. To safeguard the ecological integrity of the Amazon, it is not only necessary to cease loss and degradation of natural resources and consolidate protected areas, but also to restore and remediate terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
V) Advance a transformative, sustainable development path in the Amazon by promoting a new bioeconomy that values healthy, standing forests and flowing rivers; preserves nature and the traditional activities of forest peoples; and increases prosperity by building a diversified economy. This requires halting illegal activities and environmental crime, strengthening the value chains of biodiversity products by merging scientific and traditional knowledge, and reducing information asymmetry. These actions ensure sustainability, transparency, and accountability throughout supply chains, stimulating entrepreneurship and investment. Investing in education, science, technology, and innovation is paramount.
VI) Decision-making at the local, national, regional, and global level is informed by scientific evidence and reliable data, as highlighted by the Leticia Pact for the Amazon.
VII) Secure the land rights of Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) and increase their participation in decision making. IPLCs play a critical role in the sustainable use and conservation of Amazonian biodiversity, holding long-term, experiential knowledge of agricultural, aquatic, and agroforestry systems. Guaranteeing the territorial rights and self-determination of Indigenous peoples and local communities is among the most important strategies for protecting biodiversity and biocultural landscapes in the Amazon.
The Amazon is a vital ecosystem for the entire planet and a part of humanity's irreplaceable heritage. Its stewardship rests first and foremost with the nations of the Amazon, but this responsibility must be shared globally. Sustainable development pathways must be shaped and implemented by Amazonian countries and supported by nations everywhere. Financial support should be mobilized from advanced economies, as they have a deep responsibility both as buyers of products from areas with deforestation and for their accumulated greenhouse gas emissions.

United Kingdom – Today the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has given its judgment on the legal challenge to Article 20 of the Tobacco Products Directive.
Totally Wicked was the only independent electronic cigarette manufacturer to win the right to challenge this Directive which sought to bring e-cigarettes and e-liquid within its regulatory scope as "tobacco related products" – despite not containing tobacco – and subject e-cigarettes to more stringent regulation than some conventional tobacco products.
Electronic cigarettes are a revolutionary product. They are at least 95 per cent less harmful than tobacco products and are recognised as the number one tool used by smokers to quit smoking. Left to develop under proportionate consumer regulation, e-cigarettes have the potential to render tobacco cigarettes obsolete and prevent millions of deaths from smoking.
Totally Wicked believes that the TPD will adversely impact the availability of good quality, electronic cigarettes and e-liquids, and jeopardise the life-changing potential of vaping, resulting in a major detrimental impact on the public health of millions of people across the EU.
Specifically, Totally Wicked's challenge was based on its view that Article 20 of the TPD represents a disproportionate impediment to the free movement of goods and the free provision of services, places electronic cigarettes at an unjustified competitive disadvantage to tobacco products, fails to comply with the general EU principle of equality, and breaches the fundamental rights of electronic cigarette manufacturers.
Totally Wicked's challenge was supported by nearly 100,000 vapers from across the EU who signed a petition that was delivered to the UK Department of Health.
"Today is a bitterly disappointing end to a battle that has lasted more than two years. At its heart, was a fundamental dispute between those who recognise the public health potential vaping offers and therefore wish to see these products and their use flourish under a robust yet proportionate consumer regulatory regime, and those who either do not understand vaping or see it as a threat to established interests and therefore wish to see e-cigarettes subjected to a disproportionate and inappropriate regulatory regime.
Article 20 of the TPD will result in electronic cigarettes being subjected to a stricter regulatory regime than some tobacco products. Not only is Article 20 disproportionate, I believe, irrespective of this judgment, it is also contrary to established EU law. I am therefore disappointed, yet unsurprised, given the level of misinformation and vested interest at the heart of this Directive's drafting, that the EU Court of Justice has ruled against our legal challenge. The judges have fundamentally failed to hold the European Parliament to account. Our case provided the court an opportunity to consider in the fullest of time they had, all evidence on the significant benefits vaping is bringing to the lives of millions of smokers across the European Union. They choose however to ignore this welter of evidence. The practical consequences of this abysmal regulation is now being manifest across Europe. Rather than bring harmonised rules it has allowed for 28 discordant and disharmonised national regulatory regimes to be adopted. Most of these interpretations will either destroy the nascent vaping industries across Europe or significantly hinder legitimate business and impact potentially catastrophically, access to vaping products that European smokers should have been allowed access to.
"Totally Wicked believed that the Tobacco Products Directive was a misconceived and disproportionate attempt to regulate electronic cigarettes. Today's decision is clearly disappointing for our client; given the impact it believes the Directive will have in stifling this emerging market.

Changshan gathers insights to improve agricultural development
By Zhang Jiaqi

Changshan, a county in east China's Zhejiang province, is actively seeking better promotion and industrial development of its agricultural products by hosting a variety of exchange activities that bring together government officials, experts and company representatives from the province and beyond.
The activities include a cultural festival from Dec. 7-9 and a high-level forum on industrial development and rural revitalization on Dec. 8.
Changshan's county head, Zhang Shaohua, shared at the forum that the mountainous area at the upstream of Zhejiang's largest river has had a long history of producing camellia oil, and has also led to the cultivation of many other featured agricultural products like grapefruits and edible mushrooms.
He said Changshan has put in a lot of efforts and achieved some successes in recent years in the promotion of its three major agricultural products. These products - grapefruit, camellia oil and edible mushrooms - are often referred to as the "Three treasures of Changshan".
Zhang said that for its grapefruits, the county has scaled up cultivation, accelerated the introduction of grapefruit peels into traditional Chinese medicine, and promoted sales through e-commerce. As one of the leading producers of camellia oil, Changshan, he added, has pushed forward the formulation of quality standards and stepped up its efforts in developing trading platforms. For edible mushrooms, Zhang said that Changshan has worked to cultivate better varieties and developed brands with more influence.
Now, the annual production value of grapefruits, camellia oil and edible mushrooms of Changshan are 1.2 billion yuan ($170.6 million), 1 billion yuan and 315 million yuan respectively.
Despite its achievements, Zhang invited the forum participants to share more insights and give suggestions to help Changshan better promote and develop its agricultural products.
At the forum, Lu Xianfeng, deputy director of the Zhejiang Forestry Bureau, highlighted that Changshan has promoted the integrated development of its primary, secondary and tertiary industries, especially in the camellia oil sector, and had already become a national trading hub and price-guiding center for camellia oil. However, he added that there is still a lack of investment, intensive processing and influential brands.
Lu suggested that Changshan put forward more policies, step up efforts in the technological application of the whole industrial chain, offer more financial support, and develop influential brands to bring the sector forward.
Sun Jun, chief expert on fruits at Zhejiang's agriculture authority, gave his suggestions on the grapefruit sector. He said Changshan should improve the varieties, enhance the quality and increase the influence of its grapefruits brands. He also called for the government and companies to work together in these areas.
Cai Weiming, deputy head of the Horticulture Institute of the Zhejiang Academy of Agricultural Sciences, said that like the other two products, the edible mushrooms sector can be a driving force in poverty alleviation and rural revitalization. He suggested Changshan mount efforts in intensive processing and industrial production, introduce more mechanization in its processes, improve the division of labor, and extend the industrial chain.
The former deputy president of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Zhang Lijian, suggested that the government give its agricultural sector more financial support and integrate the development of agriculture with traditional Chinese medicine. Currently, Changshan is already taking action in this direction. At the opening ceremony of the cultural festival, the local government and the Zhejiang Academy of Medical Sciences signed an agreement for comprehensive cooperation in developing the medical application of Changshan grapefruits.
Zhao Zekun, director of the China Agriculture Film and Television Center, shared his thoughts from a consumer-oriented perspective at the opening ceremony of the cultural festival. He suggested that Changshan develop more agricultural products and make it easier for consumers to consume them, for example, finding an easier way to peel grapefruits.
Also speaking at the opening ceremony, Zhang Yuxiang, president of the Chinese Agri-products Marketing Association, called for Changshan to use multiple channels and methods to popularize its agricultural products and tell meaningful stories of Chinese brands to boost their value.
The county has already signed sales contracts with chain supermarkets like Yonghui and Century Mart, and established an oil trading center to promote the sales and transactions of camellia oil. In addition, Changshan has also held cultural activities in recent years to popularize agricultural products and raise their profile, according to Zhang, the county head.
In addition, Changshan is working to empower its agricultural sector and products through the application of different technologies and policies. It has also established partnerships with universities and research institutes to groom professionals and potential leaders of its major agricultural sectors.
Changshan, a county in Zhejiang province, is actively seeking better promotion and development of its agricultural products by hosting a variety of exchange activities.

"One of country music's hottest young acts" (Pitchfork)
Sometimes not getting what you want is a blessing. For country outlier Tucker Beathard, the souring of the record deal he was sure he needed, turned out to be the catalyst for NOBODY'S EVERYTHING, the first installment of a double album, and a work exponentially more compelling and focused than his shelved major-label debut.
"All the hurt I went through," the multi-instrumental musical force muses. "I couldn't catch a break, just getting your ass kicked by the industry every day, and the stuff you think that matters. Now I'm thankful it all got me to this point and gave me the confidence to do it my own way."
Tucker Beathard figured it out the hard way, but like anything subjected to pressure, he knows you either become a diamond or dust. Though he jokes about a year spent in "Lawyer-land," as he and his manager worked to extricate himself from his first recording contract, the 23-year old songwriter/road-rat threw himself into his music in a whole new way. Forging a leaner, realer sound, the kid raised on Radiohead, hip-hop and the songs his father Casey Beathard has written for superstars Eric Church, Kenny Chesney, and George Strait created a taut hybrid that was more street than studio, more grit and raw emotion than polished gloss.
Raised around some of Nashville's seminal writers, the dirty blonde's sense of wordplay, melody, movement and story is beyond his peers. Just as importantly, his desire to do it his way informs his music. "Something To Say," "This Life," "Leave Me Alone" and "Fight Like Hell" represent a generation coming of age and refusing to politely do what they're told.
For the natural athlete who gave up a scholarship to pursue music, that means hitting the road hard; finding a producer who would spend days in the basement chasing songs, tweaking what's been recorded and seeking a sound that felt more aligned with the firebrand's own sense of what music should be.
"The walls got broken down for me to really own and express emotions more, the vulnerability and the intensity of what was happening," he confesses. "There's a whole crowd of people out there who are misunderstood, the outcast types, and they're dealing with the same stuff emotionally."
"I make music for my own sake, obviously, but why wouldn't that music be for all the people who feel like I do? 'Cause there are a lot of us out there, and when we got into the writing and recording, beyond me not selling out, how could I sell them out?"
It's an odd sort of moral conscious Beathard employs. Not one to preach or tell anyone else how to live, he is willing to dig in, sacrifice and stand up for what he believes. If that meant retreating to someone's home to record with a producer/friend and an engineer, seeking what they could squeeze out of the driving melodies without interference, so be it.
If that meant watching his band mates drop away when things got lean, okay.
Having been raised around the music business, Tucker had seen how flush the good times could be. Like everyone, who'd eschew that? But not at the cost of his music, or the loyal fans who kept coming even when his first full release failed to launch.
"It hurt," he says of the band defections. "But it also opened me up to more players. There were a couple months, especially in the summer where I'd built up a rotation of people. Some were higher tier guys. We had a college guitar player, who was so hungry.
"I needed to see who believes enough to get in the van, drive out to these places and play some one-off gig. It brought me full circle and back to myself, but it also was God saying, 'You have to go through this to understand…'
"This past year, I learned there's a great group of loyal supportive fans across the country who stuck with me through all of it. I'm so proud of our fan-base throughout this all, because all they cared about was the music and being here with us. They knew so many of the songs, which says something since we didn't have that much released music, but they cared enough to find the songs… and then sing them back to us."
Sometimes it is the audience who keeps the writer honest. For Beathard, who'd taken a beating in the name of what his songs should be, the audience was the fuel to keep going. No matter what it took, he burned to make his songs the way he knew they should be.
Tucker Beathard continued being the voice for the outsider, the lost, the unrepentant and the kid nobody sees. Like Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and even Johnny Cash, he strives to capture the person beyond the fringe. One listen to NOBODY'S EVERYTHING, and it's obvious where his heart lies.
"The title of the album, 'Nobody's Everything,' came from the idea that maybe everybody's nothing, but to someone they're everything. It is the people that nobody sees: the people they overlook, they're still everybody to some one person."
"'Leave Me Alone" was a product of a lot of built up stress, hurt and frustration that I was overwhelmed with at the time. I just locked myself in my room, picked up my guitar and just tried to channel or release everything I was feeling. I started playing that riff and the first thing that came out was 'just leave me alone.' For me, it's not so much a song about a girl or relationship, it's about seeing people you thought cared about you walk out when you need them the most, and the emotions that come along with that."
"'Something To Say' is the newest song, and it pretty much sums up the punk attitude side of me that's angsty, but also the fire. At the end of the day, you can't please everyone. If there are people out there who are passionate and fired up, they're the ones who understand, who need songs like this. They're the ones who don't talk about it, but keep their heads down, who walk and just do the work. They're my people, and this is their music."
At a time when the news keeps torqueing our cortisol buttons, it's hard to know who or what to believe. Tucker Beathard understands. He realizes how worn thin we can get, and he understands what it's like to feel broken. Nowhere on the album is that more apparent than the stark "This Life."
"We wanted to make it feel as real and rough as it was," he remembers. "We didn't care what anybody thought. We were just three dudes making music on our own, and not thinking about anybody else. This was music for our sake, and the sake of the songs. We did what felt right, and what pulled the feelings out of the song.
"We waited 'til 2 a.m. when I'm most in my head to capture that vocal. And we just cut a bunch of passes. We didn't worry about getting all the notes right, it was about the feel. And you can feel every bit of what that song is in the recording."
Sometimes it's the trials that forge the truest art. Greatness isn't for the easy, it's for the brave and the ones willing to push past the obvious limits and keep going.
"Ryan and I were in the studio for months 'til 3, 4 a.m. experimenting, making music. When no one is telling you what to do, you'd be amazed the places you go."
For Beathard, the place where he found himself was a basement in a recording engineer's house on the outskirts of town. He learned about artistic quests, seeking truth and building the kind of creative alliances that sustain the music instead of merely the commerce.
"It definitely wasn't easy, but it makes sense now," he says. "It was a long year, and it didn't take long for my mind to start going crazy. It had taken so long [to release music], and I didn't want to wait any longer. But I'm glad it did… because I look at what I've learned, what we've built, how the songs have grown."
Just as importantly, Beathard has grown. As an artist, he's not afraid to strip things back to the root. As a writer, he's willing to press a song for maximum meaning. As a performer, the year spent in a van with a revolving cast of musicians, has made him fearless in whole new ways. But most importantly, as a human being, he's found the core of his reason for living.
He marvels at how much more than a mere year in limbo it turned out to be. Laughing, he confesses, "It's almost like several of the songs I wrote before I was fully emotionally there to 100% understand the real character of what I was singing. I wasn't mature enough as an artist, or hadn't been through enough to really understand. I was writing ahead of my emotions.
"Maybe I caught up with some of these songs. I wrote them, but now I feel like I really know them, know what they're about."


Twenty four years after the deadly attack by the French secret services against Greenpeace's flagship the Rainbow Warrior it seems France and its nuclear industry is once again caught up in a major scandal involving Greenpeace.
A week ago the French media reported that the largely state-owned French electricity company EDF has been caught spying on Greenpeace France. Two senior EDF officials have been indicted in a French court. Now investigators are looking into "fraudulent intrusion" into the computers of nuclear campaigners in the Greenpeace office in Paris.
"Forged in the furnace of the cold war the nuclear power is inextricably part of the military nuclear industry, the two are inseparable. Governments and electricity companies around the world should reject EDF and Sarkozy's pro-nuclear overtures and offers of this dangerous and anti-democratic technology. Instead they should embrace an energy revolution based on renewable energy technologies and energy efficiency. Technologies that will genuinely enhance our energy security and help to avert catastrophic climate change," concluded Husting.
Pierre François, one of the indicted men, was according to Mediapart the man who led the spying cell and the one responsible for developing EDF's intelligence activities to undermine campaigns of anti-nuclear activism. François and his spies have apparently infiltrated several anti-nuclear groups in France and reportedly sometimes with the blessing of the French secret services.

Def Leppard: Modern bands lack focus
By Scott Munro ( Classic Rock ) published 24 November 15
Frontman Joe Elliott says social media distractions mean time that groups should spend learning their craft is taken up by other commitments
Def Leppard fromtman Joe Elliott says many of today's bands lack focus as their time is taken up with the distractions of social media.
Speaking at a press conference in Singapore, Elliott says groups would be better served concentrating on learning to write and record together than spend time on Facebook or Twitter.
And he insists he'd have struggled if Def Leppard were starting out in 2015.
He says: "I'm glad it wasn't around when we started, purely because it gave us more opportunity to concentrate on what we really wanted to be.
"It wasn't, like, 'We can't rehearse today because we've got to answer all these questions.' I think that actually is one of the reasons there aren't so many bands coming through the way that we did – they have other tasks they have to perform that we didn't.
"We learned to play our instruments, we learned to sing, we learned to write songs together, and that was our only focus. Once we got that down, and then if other stuff comes in, you can probably split your time and manage to do both.
"For me, I'm not sure I would have been as good if I was starting off the way it is now. It would have been too much of an interference."
Guitarist Phil Collen adds that too many bands are motivated by fame and not about the quality of the music.
He says: "I think when people form bands now, the motivation is a lot different to what we had. I ask a lot of young people, 'What do you want to do?' And they want to be recognised. They want to be on YouTube, they want people to take notice of them.
"We wanted to make music, we wanted to be artists first, and there's a big difference."
Def Leppard released their self-titled 11th album via Classic Rock fanpack last month. The package features the disc, a 116-page magazine featuring interviews with all five band members, a track-by-track guide, collectable art cards and a metal Def Leppard keyring.
