The rickshaw, as westerners pronounce it, originated in Japan where it is known as jinrikisha – jin (man) riki (power) sha (carriage). Its basic design includes a carriage resting on two large-diameter wheels, a pair of long parallel poles joined by a crossbar, in addition to a removable hood which can be lowered or raised to protect the passenger against the burning sun or rain. It is hand-pulled and foot-run by the strength of one man who works in the front part, with the passenger sitting behind.
There were two main categories of rickshaws in Hong Kong: those used by private individuals and those for public hire. The private rickshaws – then a prestige form of travel – were of the same standard design as the rickshaws for public hire; however, they were not all the same as they were made for each customer's needs as per required specifications. The quality of the rickshaws for public hire also varied. Therefore, rickshaws of different styles were used around Hong Kong at any one time.
Rickshaws catered for the public for the first time on 22 April 1880. They became a popular form of transport which was nearly as convenient as that provided by taxis nowadays. Within two years of its advent, the public rickshaw appeared in great numbers which grew from "30" in 1880 to several hundred in 1882. In addition, an unknown number of private rickshaws were running around (The Hongkong Daily Press, 1 May 1880; The Hongkong Government Gazette, 3 November 1883).
It will be seen that an improvement of the rickshaw services was no easy journey and Hong Kong moved rather slowly to replace wooden-wheeled rickshaws with new models to be fitted with rubber-tyred or pneumatic-tyred wheels.
In May 1914, the Governor F. H. May and his aides "suggested that the question of providing by Regulation that all jinrickshas must have rubber tyres should be referred to the Captain Superintendent of Police." (Minutes of Hong Kong Executive Council, read and confirmed by Mr. M. J. Breen, Clerk of Council, 23 May 1914). The next month, the Captain Superintendent of Police arranged with rickshaw proprietors to operate ten rickshaws with pneumatic-tyred wheels for public hire as an experiment. After three months' use, the new rickshaws were worn out and taken off the city streets.
This short article is about the efforts made to modify the design of the rickshaws used in Hong Kong, so as to make this means of travel smoother, more comfortable, and more suited to the local traffic. In this discussion, we have viewed many of Hong Kong's "first" in history, such as who first introduced the rickshaw to the city of Victoria, the first type of rickshaw with a seating space of up to two adults, and the first of a type of rickshaw fitted with pneumatic tyres which continued in use until the 1960s when the traffic authorities decided not to issue any new licences and to renew existing ones until the man concerned no longer wished to continue his trade. By then, the rickshaw was on the way out overtaken by more modern means of transport.

Q: how to use sizzle.js separate I downloaded sizzle.js from https://github.com/jquery/sizzle
my code is:
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <title>Demo</title>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

abc

but alert "[object]", "undefined", please tell me what's wrong with my code?

A: The Sizzle() function returns an array of matched elements. So if you know there'll be exactly one matching element (which there should be if you're selecting by id) try:
alert(Sizzle("#test")[0].innerHTML);

A: You've did a slight mistake it returns NodeList not a single Node.
The NodeList is like an array but used for storing Nodes. You may probably want to use the first one.
// this is how you do it
alert( Sizzle('#test')[0].innerHTML );

Hi there, got a few questions for any takers.
First of all what type/region of NES rom is supported by the DC port of Scumm?
NES, NSF, UNF, NTSC or PAL?
For instance, should I use the "data/data" or the "audio/data" options in Bootdreams?
Stryfe wrote: First of all what type/region of NES rom is supported by the DC port of Scumm?
Can't help you with the NES version of Maniac Mansion because I've never tried it With ScummVM on the Dreamcast, but I can tell you that the DOS version of Maniac Mansion works extremely well.
I use Dir2Boot for most of my CD Images because it works 100% of the time for me, 100% with all my Dreamcasts, and I do not require CDDA for homebrew (apart from a few releases which I use BootDreams for). I have however done some extensive tests with BootDreams (Audio/Data in particular), what have you tried so far? (meaning what type of CD Images have you created and how are you burning them).
Thanks for the prompt reply Daydreamer, and I usually burn using the data/data method in BD's. Although I've tested out the few games I have in a DC emulator, I'm not sure if the will work in the actual DC for the previously stated reasons.
Stryfe wrote: I can't burn straight off of Bootdreams, for some unknown reason.
When you say "I can't burn straight off of Bootdreams", I'm assuming you can't use the CDRecord method that's available within the BootDreams application: burning a CD Image to CDR does not work for you?.
Dir2Boot does not have an option to burn the created CD Image to CDR, it's an old application, but it's very stable and quick for creating Discjuggler and Nero CD Images (pre Nero 6.X), Dir2Boot will only create Dreamcast CD Images, you will then need to use other software to burn the CD Image to CDR.
If you want, tell me exactly what ScummVM CD you are trying to create for your Dreamcast, I'll create one for myself, burn and test it, then post a step-by-step guide for you so you do not need to make any coasters.
No need to do that, although I do appreciate the offer.
Oh okay, maybe if you have an alternative way to test before burning? I just need to know the correct settings to burn the .12 plain files in either Bootdreams, or in Dir2Boot.
I only have the NES version Maniac Mansion, Simon 1 & 2 DOS, and Monkey Island SCD, but I'd like to find more free/share ware games that are supported.
I see that there are a couple complete images hosted over at DcEvolution.

Stryfe wrote: Oh okay, maybe if you have an alternative way to test before burning? I just need to know the correct settings to burn the .12 plain files in either Bootdreams, or in Dir2Boot.
I don't have an alternative way, I just set my ScummVM files up, create a Discjuggler CDI with Dir2Boot, then burn to CDR with either BootDreams or Alcohol. Not sure what you mean about ".12 plain files"?
ScummVM requires just the PRG section to run and not the whole ROM.
hex editor, copy everything from the second row (17th byte) to the end.
with (E, F, G, SW, or U). The final size should be exactly 262144 bytes.
* You try to feed ScummVM with the FULL ROM and not just the PRG section.
It is also possible to extract the separate LFL files from the PRG section.
To do so use the 'extract_mm_nes' utility from the tools package.
Have you thought about using NesterDC for running Maniac Mansion NES version on Dreamcast?, you can set the disk up to autoboot the rom just like the real thing.
ScummVM 0.10.0 SVN, BASS Floppy & CD versions.
ScummVM 0.10.0 SVN, FOTAQ Floppy and CD versions.
ScummVM 0.12.0, Drascula CD version.
ScummVM 0.12.0, BS1 & BS2 demos.
ScummVM 0.12.0, Big Thinkers, Buzzy Bug, Fatty Bear, Pajama Sam demos.
ScummVM 0.12.0, Freddi Fish & Putt-Putt demos.
ScummVM 0.12.0, SPY Fox demos.
ScummVM 0.11.1, The Dig demo.
All the samplers come with extras, complete walthrough guides for getting the full games to run on Dreamcast, tools etc., There's also loads more demos available on the ScummVM site here.
Sorry, I meant the "0.12.0" binary/plain files.
I used Ucon64 to split the NES rom into the prg/prm files, and to run the "extract_mm_nes.exe" utility. ScummVM allows support for a mouse interface, even on the NES version.
I'll give Dir2Boot a shot, and I usually use Alcohol to burn cdi images. But, Do you happen to know what settings to use in Bootdreams to create an cdi image?
Anyways, thanks for all the links and the help.
Stryfe wrote: I meant the "0.12.0" binary/plain files.
Sorry, should have guessed you meant that .
Stryfe wrote: Do you happen to know what settings to use in Bootdreams to create an cdi image?
I use BootDreams for creating an Audio/Data CDI with my ISO settings all checked, but I guess that's just down to personal preference.

Q: How to use certificate.crt and certificate.key with SSLServerSocket Following Let's Encrypt's instructions on how to create a local certificate for testing purposes, I've made it to have a certificate.crt and certificate.key files. Now, how do I use them with a SSLServerSocket?
The only way I've used a SSLServerSocket before was with a keystore generated from keytool, and I did some research and didn't find any specific way to use the certificates generated by openssl with SSLServerSocket.

A: SUGGESTION:
Look at this link: How to import an existing x509 certificate and private key in Java keystore to use in SSL?

  -out [keystore.p12]
  -name [new_alias]
  -CAfile [my_ca_bundle.crt] -caname root

*Convert the PKCS12 to a Java Keystore File.

Attorney General Eric Holder – A Partisan Idealogue
In still another hallmark of this most inept presidential administration, we consider President Obama's appointment of Eric Holder as United States Attorney General. This selection was questionable, to say the least, on the basis of Mr. Holder's background, and his conduct in office has shown that he is nothing more than a tool of the Obama administration.
The term "wimp" in describing Mr. Holder comes to mind. It is no doubt a pejorative word but its use here finds support in the dictionary. Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Eleventh Edition, defines wimp as a weak, cowardly, or ineffectual person. The use of the disjunctive in the definition makes its use appropriate because in my view Mr. Holder is definitely ineffectual although the other definitions may also apply, depending on whom you ask. Other individuals and groups go even further, seeking his impeachment on the grounds of corruption.
Mr. Holder was President Obama's first cabinet appointment. The two first met in 2004 and hit it off immediately. Therefore the appointment smacks of cronyism. But more than that, one need only peruse freelance writer Ron Kolb's detailed and informative article (available on Google) for insights into Mr. Holder's background. Far from having strong credentials for the post, his background is questionable in terms of his lack of, shall we say, unwavering support for law enforcement. One notable instance occurred when as Deputy Attorney General, he knowingly stood silent to the proposed pardon by President Clinton of convicted swindler/fugitive Marc Rich, which he later admitted to have been a mistake. On another occasion he recommended clemency to President Clinton for members of FALN, a Puerto Rican terrorist group. This is not the type of background you would want to find in the nation's top cop. His controversial past compels the conclusion that he should never have been appointed in the first place.
Currently, Mr. Holder is refusing to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the IRS scandal. This is the case where the IRS is suspected of targeting Tea Party and other conservative groups seeking section 501(c)(4) tax exemption status for special treatment, i.e., delays in processing and unnecessary and improper inquiries. The IRS, one of the most feared of government agencies, is supposed to be impartial in the discharge of its duties. Yet President Obama told Fox News journalist Bill O'Reilly during an interview on Super Bowl Sunday that there is not even a "smidgeon" of corruption surrounding this case. Yet if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck…
Indeed, if there is no corruption and nothing to hide over this issue, it is puzzling that IRS official Lois Lerner has repeatedly taken the 5th amendment in refusing to answer congressional questions during its efforts to investigate the matter. Instead of a special prosecutor, President Obama has appointed a member of his administration and a generous contributor to his campaign, an individual clearly partisan to the president, to conduct an investigation. This is a blatant and egregious abuse of power which should not be allowed. The real question which needs to be answered is what person or persons approved Lois Lerner's conduct. It remains to be seen if the investigation reaches this issue.
But protecting the administration in the IRS targeting scandal is not the only controversial act by the Attorney General. Mr. Holder has failed to turn over requested records by the House Oversight Committee concerning operation "Fast and Furious." For this blatant coverup, in June, 2012, after a 16-month investigation, the Attorney General was held in Contempt of Congress, both civilly and criminally, the first cabinet member to be so cited. Executive privilege has also been asserted over those records. Although all of the facts are not known, thousands of automatic weapons were apparently purchased from gun dealers by Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms and Explosives agents and sold to gun traffickers. This was done in an apparent effort to trace the guns to drug cartel users in Mexico. However there was no follow through. Two of the weapons were later discovered at the murder scene of Agent Brian Terry in December, 2011. Mr. Holder has been accused of lying to the House Committee about when he first heard of this operation.
There are many more instances where Mr. Holder's conduct can be seen as undermining the country's security. But in the interests of brevity they will not be described now. Suffice it to say that
the country needs and deserves to have a tough and effective Attorney General, not one who is clearly devoted to protecting his benefactor, i.e., the person who appointed him in the first place.

How do you teach truth in a place where government creates truth? Can teaching critical thinking get North Korean students killed? These were the questions posed by award-winning author, journalist, and IVY Thought Leader, Suki Kim, who worked undercover in North Korea for an entire year. Suki led IVY members through an in-depth discussion that delved into the minds of the North Korea's ruling elite, addressing troubling issues surrounding nuclear power, international conflict, and the effect of all-encompassing dictatorship.
Since its inception in 1945, The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has remained a world apart. All aspects of life have been controlled by the descendants of Kim-Il Sung. In recent years, however, foreign education and aid initiatives, in part encouraged by the country's leadership, have pierced this veil of secrecy. Suki was able to penetrate the North Korean psyche by means of a teaching position at Pyongyang University of Science and Technology, the "MIT" of the country. Her interactions with her students resulted in a strange disconnect: by becoming involved in their day-to-day lives, Suki explains, "you would forget that they weren't just normal kids." One of her surprising discoveries was that by controlling all information going into the country, her student's conception of time was off by decades, and their understanding of history almost nonexistent. Suki attributes this to a lack of diversity in official sources of information, advising all of us to hear as many differing opinions as possible so as not to fall into a mindset informed by one narrative. Learn more about Suki's year undercover in her discussion below, and by reading her powerful memoir, Without You, There Is No Us: Undercover Among the Sons of North Korea's Elite.


For enthusiasts, motorcycles are one of the most fun and freeing ways to explore the open road. But the fact of the matter is there is little separating you from hitting the ground fatally. When a motorcycle accident occurs, it's typically much deadlier and more destructive than a car wreck. And in many states, automobiles are actually responsible for the majority of motorcycle wrecks.
One way motorcycle enthusiasts can protect themselves is to wear a helmet, though this is often an unpopular fashion choice. Nonetheless, many states have severe laws in effect, because not wearing a helmet means one in three times more likely to experience brain injury following an accident. In addition to your helmet, it is advisable to wear any of the other protective gear mandated by your state, not just for your safety either. If you were struck by a motorist while riding your motorcycle but were doing so without a helmet, then the case would be inadmissible in some personal injury suits in certain jurisdictions.
Another area that we are constantly keeping an eye on is motorcycle recalls and defects that can harm motorcyclists. It's not uncommon for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the companies themselves to issue a recall after discovering a defect because the stakes are so high when it comes to motorcycle-related injuries and deaths. One way to keep yourself safe is to conduct a periodic check of motorcycle recalls to see if you're perhaps riding on a bike with defective shocks or a similar issue that can be life-threatening.
At the Gennusa Firm, we get results for our motorcyclist clients. If you've had an accident lately or were the victim of a crash, contact us to get a FREE, no-risk case review.

The Yellow Vest Movement going global- the first stirrings of a waking world
Humanity is rising and times they are a-changin'
April 21, 2019 Steve Cook COMMENTARY, Unite and Win 0
THE YELLOW VEST MOVEMENT HAS SPREAD LIKE WILDFIRE ACROSS THE WORLD
by Phillip J. Watt,
If you're interested in or somewhat confused by the Yellow Vest Movement (YVM), do yourself and society a service by reading this article in its entirety.
To begin, the YVM is more or less Occupy 2.0; it's an organic response to control and corruption even if it has been manipulated by powerful interests (including via misrepresentation in the corporate media). In short, it rejects the corporatocracy, otherwise known as the crony capitalism we have today. It rejects putting profits before the people and the environment. And it rejects greedy and evil behaviour by those in power.
Ultimately, it rejects oppression.
There is a leader of the YVM, but it is not a person. Instead, it is an agreement. This interconnection has sometimes been spoken in historic incarnations, but not always. Regardless, the ancient union between the people can be summed up with one word: freedom.
So whilst we enjoy the beginning of Twenty Nineteen, it is also important to pay respect to the hundreds of millions of people across our world who are somewhere between frustrated and outright furious with the corrupted design of our social system. They genuinely want change for the people, and our future generations.
And that's unity, right there. Embrace it for a moment, because it's proof we can come to an agreement which would lead to real world changes, if we so choose.
So make no mistake: if the YVM is to be fully successful it needs as many people as possible to feel how they've been scammed and lied to, because they cannot un-feel it. In other words, the public needs to get on board. This essay, therefore, is designed to contribute to a much-needed civil discourse about this growing global dissent, including encouraging a strong focus on the fundamental flaws of our systemic blueprint.
The Spread of the YVM
Once again the power of the people has been mightily illustrated by individuals coming together to say "enough is enough", this time culminating as the global spread of the YVM.
Originating in France late 2018, the Yellow Vest symbol has been adopted by dozens of other countries from both the West and East. For example, many European countries have held strong demonstrations over the last several weeks. Thousands of Taiwanese people protested against tax injustices. Iraqis who donned yellow vests demanded improved public services. Canadians are gallantly stepping up with a FB group of over 110K members who have organised recurring rallies on each Sunday. And Australians have protests organised across the country for the 19th January, 2019.
The Participants of the YVM
There are as many motives for joining the YVM as there are people. Each individual is unique in their experience and therefore their perspective. Many are just ordinary people who have been personally impacted by poor policy design, and others are more active participants in the truth and freedom network which has slowly been expanding in response to a rebirthing of ancient philosophy and powerful people conspiring in our world.
Many of these conspiracies seem outrageous to the public. Regardless of which ones are true and which ones aren't, they still deserve to be put on the stage of public discourse because many of them are accurate accounts of reality. That needs to be facilitated, and not mocked, by the mainstream media, which is obviously the opposite of what's happening. This is one potent reason why public trust in mainstream media has plummeted over recent years and why the way information is disseminated and therefore absorbed throughout our society has been shifting towards independent, online media. Furthermore, it's also why dismantling the old and new media monopolies is a key target of activists and dissenters.
Regardless, members of the YVM want the same thing: justice. Unfortunately however, most people who have consciously unleashed their deep disdain against the corruption of the political and corporate elite have too narrow focus, such as on peripheral issues which don't account for the core design flaws of our social system. Others concentrate on punishing those in power, instead of how to transfer the power back to the people. And others focus solely on transforming the meta-model of our social system, calling for anarcho-capitalism, minarchism, a Resource-Based-Economy (RBE) or some other futurist romanticism.
The Resistance to the Resistance
The Yellow Vest protests originated in France and has therefore been dubbed 'The French Revolution 2.0'. Yet there are some people who believe protests are useless and that government is bad, full stop.
They say that government is inherently corrupt and therefore the only goal should be to shut it down. I empathise with this perspective, however much nuance is missed with such black and white views. For example, many protests over our history have resulted with the change sought, regardless if the goals were misguided or not. Yet even if a protest is on the right target but it fails to deliver real change in the system, there were still many people who were educated about the issues throughout the process.
That is still a win for the expansion of our collective consciousness.
In addition, governments aren't going anywhere soon, nor should they. Whilst I admire the philosophy and ethics of anarchism (i.e. no government, people rule themselves etc.), it is dangerous and unrealistic to wish for it in our current era. Maybe over the coming decades if we begin to qualify as an 'enlightening species', but right now there are too many cultural clashes, too much power in wrong places, too much psychopathy, and too much dangerous weaponry to even begin considering removing the managerial systems we have in place.
Now of course it's important to identify the potential macro-models we could revolutionise our future with, as well as acknowledge the many symptoms of our sick social structure, however we desperately need to take control of the core infrastructure to initiate incremental shifts towards a more just and honourable systemic design for ourselves and our forthcoming generations.
After all, there is little agreement on the goals, let alone the paths to achieve them. That's why we also need to ensure an inclusive, rational focus which builds unity through agreement, which in turn would educate mainstream mindsets and alternative thinkers alike on the deep systemic problems and their potential solutions, including how their liberty has been stripped away by an increasingly centralised control system.
Therefore, the initial steps should focus on minimising government interference in our lives, ensuring it is truly representative of the people and is servicing our true needs. This would obviously include basing all laws on individual liberty, meaning the individual has supreme authority over themselves, whilst also being held accountable for doing no harm unless in self-defence.
And do not forget: society needs to be re-educated on so many levels which will take at least a generation or two to achieve, so we need to be mindful of this when discussing how to move forward.
So make no mistake: with a greater focus on what we do agree on, as well as how we could evolve that agreement, we would no doubt encourage many more people to drink from the fountain of freedom and then guide others to do the same.
Refocusing the YVM
I have spent many years monitoring and documenting the current expansion of our collective consciousness. There's the good, the bad and the ugly. The good is an ongoing expansion, the bad is a plateaued expansion and the ugly is getting lost in conspiratorial dogmas which are dead ends at best, and self-abusive at worst.
During this time I have focused on three primary areas, which are metaphysics, personal development and social change. All three are relevant here. For example, a core experience in metaphysical exploration is deepening our connection with connection, something that we need to do amongst ourselves if we are to literally change the system for the better.
In addition, personal development is relevant because taking exceptional care of all the layers of our health is the greatest rebellion we can have against a sick system. It's also required so that we converse more inclusively with each other, especially those we disagree with, because it increases the success rate of facilitating change as well as reinforces our harmonisation with each other.
And in terms of social change, there are some key design areas that are 100% necessary to focus on if we want to revolutionise our world, efficiently and effectively.
These themes thread throughout this article, both subtly and explicitly.
Building on our Agreement for Freedom
My most recent article on the YVM reached into the hundreds of thousands of people because it was republished across many independent news sites. I was grateful that it went so far. In it I argued the need to create universal agreements that would actually initiate real systemic change.
Now be assured, what follows isn't the 'be all and end all'; it's just a series of suggestions that I hope will encourage greater public discourse. It is designed to guide, not control. Now that I've made that clear, the formula for swift social shifts is quite simple, at least in theory:
Agree on some basic values that most people would support, especially the public;
Agree on some basic principles for guiding the change;
Agree on the core flaws in the system and their potential solutions, which would create real change;
Share these agreements with the media and the public to increase their support;
As a united front, force our governmental employees to act on the will of the people.
In the previously mentioned article I identified some basic values to illustrate how we can easily begin to come to an agreement:
I'll make this short and sharp. The six key values are:
1. Love over hate;
2. Truth over lies;
3. Freedom over enslavement;
4. Happiness over suffering;
5. Justice over injustice; and
6. Peace over war.
I did this to not just present how simple it is to identify ways we do innately agree with each other, but to also show the world where we fundamentally stand.
Moving on, the four key principles I suggested were:
1. Informed choice (meaning the requirement of an honest media and government);
2. Sovereignty (meaning all humans should have supreme authority over themselves);
3. The Golden Rule (meaning do no harm unless in self-defence); and
4. Decentralisation (meaning all services from government and otherwise should be locally organised).
Okay, now we have a good template for how we can unify. Yet, how can we actualise the change? The answer is obvious: by agreeing on key reforms that as a national citizenry we expect our governments to abide by.
Introducing RIC and His Pockets for Change
There is a dire need to focus on the core design flaws of our social system and their potential resolutions because they will undoubtedly remove the power of the political and corporate elite and give it back to the people. I proposed this and my previous article to an Australian Yellow Vest Group and what follows are some amendments according to the feedback.
So without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to RIC, the leading representative of the YVM:
"Hi, I'm RIC. I embody Referendums Initiated by the Citizens (RIC), otherwise known as Citizen Initiated Referendums (CIR). Governments have lost their way and are now controlled by big money, instead of by the people. That's why we need referendums aimed at the primary pockets of change".
What follows, therefore, are the core areas of the system that require immediate and lasting reform:
1. Electoral Reform to remove private money from politics, to bar lobby groups and vested interests from political decision-making and to dismantle the two-party system so independent community representatives are embedded into the political structure;
2. Monetary Reform to create a publicly-owned money supply, just like the Commonwealth Bank of Australia used to be when run by Denison Miller in the early part of the 20th Century;
3. Banking Reform to dismantle the 'too-big-to-fail' banks, separate commercial and investment banking (through the Glass-Steagall Act) and create public banks that invest all profits from money creation (such as mortgages and credit cards) into social programs and infrastructure;
4. Tax Reform to abolish all taxes and institute a transaction tax (similar to the Tobin tax) so that all tax loopholes are closed and all individuals and corporations contribute fairly (at a flat rate of just a few per cent, this would at least double current tax revenue due to eliminating tax havens, tax fraud and untaxed speculative spending by the big banks);
5. Law Reform to ensure all legislation aligns with the Constitution and the sovereignty principle;
6. Medicine Reform to ensure all natural and synthetic medicines are inexpensive, accessible and legal, as well as create a healthy mainstream food and water supply (yes, food and water are medicine too);
7. Education Reform to ensure schooling and adult training fosters holistic learning, cooperation, self-discovery and health and life skills, as well as honestly educates on how the monetary and governmental systems work, including the natural rights we all born with;
8. Media Reform to dismantle the traditional and online monopolies to foster free speech and ensure true public debate and citizen-based investigative journalism reaches the mainstream, as well as guarantee serious penalties for unstated 'opinion', fabrications and sponsorships in public reporting and journalism.
I know many of you reading this probably have a lot to contribute to the above. Maybe you have different ideas about how the reforms should look like. You might not even believe that all of them are necessary. Regardless, this is a template worth discussing and evolving because without the first steps, we're going nowhere.
Uniting Mainstream and Alternative Thinkers
So now we have some basic values, principles and core areas for reform. It's definitely enough to create a solid agreement to represent to the public and ensure real change within the system, as well as resolve many of the peripheral issues that individuals focus on within the YVM .
However, there are many other serious concerns raised by the truth and freedom network. Some of them are just written off as 'tin-foil-hat conspiracy' by the mainstream media and therefore the masses, but is that fair? Only when they are authentically discussed on the public stage will we all know for sure of their accuracy.
So what follows are some examples of independent and honest examinations that are essential to occur on the public stage. These inquests need to be supported by the government, reported on by all media platforms without bias and driven by citizen-based investigations:
What is the extent of the global pedophile network, how many children are being harmed and how high does it go into the political and corporate elite?
To what extent has scientific research been perverted by corporate interests and how can we rapidly return to publicly funded, independent, transparent, peer-reviewed scientific research?
Are governments truly representing their Constitution, or are they 'corporations' which coerce citizens into unconsented contracts via birth certificates?
Is 5G technology dangerous for our health and can it be hacked for nefarious purposes?
Geoengineering is now being pushed by some universities and the UN to control our climate, however to what extent have chemicals been previously sprayed into our atmosphere and what are their effects on humans and our environment?
To what extent are new energy technologies being suppressed?
To what extent are big tech firms – like Google, Facebook and Twitter – behaving fraudulently and unethically, and how can we create publicly-owned communication infrastructure for safeguarding our innate right to free speech?
What is the difference between vaccinations and immunisations, what ingredients are actually in vaccinations, what are their real effects on the immune system of children, how many children have been disabled or killed because of vaccinations and what is the extent of the fraud and cover up?
Are pharmaceutical monopolies suppressing cures for serious disease?
What is the true sociological impact of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO's)?
What is the true sociological impact of the war-on-drugs?
Why do specific natural substances, which have been scientifically proven to have strong therapeutic and developmental effects, continue to be outlawed?
What are the real agendas behind the push for a global government?
In what ways are the UN undermining our individual and national sovereignty?
Is mass migration across our world being done on purpose to weaken the nation-state?
Unclassified documents prove that false flags are strategies commonly employed by governments, so which events in our recent history are currently classified false flags?
Were wars in the Middle East and elsewhere manufactured for money and power?
Now regardless of where you personally stand on any of these matters, I know you want them put to rest once and for all.
We all do.
And the only way to achieve that is to do exactly what I suggested above:
"These inquests need to be supported by the government, reported on by all media platforms without bias and driven by citizen-based investigations"
The Media's Role
It is the responsibility of the mainstream media to support an ongoing dialogue about all these issues and therefore engage the entire public in that discussion. Now of course they won't do this without being forced to, which to reiterate, is why there has been a rapid decline in trust by the public.
This is all the evidence we need to undertake media reform immediately.
However, the independent media's role is to build momentum on this discussion. Regardless if individual journalists or entire platforms have their own disagreements about some of what is written here, they still have a responsibility to contribute.
And to be straight-forward; I don't see the difference between the MSM and them, if they don't.
If you more or less agree with the propositions of this article, share it. Discuss it. Yet to be realistic, I don't expect much to come from it.
Even though my last piece was so widely read, I didn't hear from any journalist – mainstream or independent – who wanted to explore it further, nor did I see too many people within the YVM push for building a sensible agreement among their peers to represent to the public.
Instead, I saw infighting and individuals pushing their own narrow agendas.
Regardless, I know this commentary will be educational to many, which is the primary purpose of it. It will help many of you to push beyond the ideological dogma that has stagnated you, as well as 'feel' our deep need to take the first steps towards a better world. I sincerely hope that's you.
Moreover, it's also a documented account of where we are in this context, and how we could potentially proceed. It needs to be said, it needs to be recorded. I'm happy to take on that role.
And to reiterate, this post is pointing out that we can build an agreement that is palatable for a confused public, whilst still focusing on the areas that will create real systemic change. Or put another way, it illustrated that we can construct a treaty, a message, that educates those who need it and therefore expands the YVM with a view of actually achieving something, whilst not pushing people away with ideological rhetoric and wild conspiracy.
It also revealed that we can raise conspiratorial matters as reasonable and non-offensive questions.
Moreover, it showed that the "awake" community are deeply divided on many theoretical and practical levels. I emphasised that word because most people still don't understand they are NOT awake, they are just 'awake to' various layers of reality, regardless if it's metaphysical, scientific, systemic, ethical or some other layer.
Put simply, it's important for us to realise this is a journey of awakening, not a destination. And we're all at our own personal stage of that development.
So the more people who not just realise this, but act like it too, the more playful and productive discussions we can have as we continue to expand our experience of consciousness, on both individual and collective levels. And on a personal note, it's inspiring to know that so many of you already own that responsibility.
After all, you're the next stage of humanity's evolution. All the love and power to you.

The 5 Keys to Video Marketing Success
HERO LIGHT CASE STUDY
Keto Chow
From a product he created for himself, Chris and Miriam Bair turned a keto-complete shake into a thriving business with over 30 employees—and they're helping hundreds of thousands achieve their health goals along the way.
Create a campaign that helps put a whole bunch of Keto Chow where it belongs… in the pantries of strangers! Oh—and also to reach $2M in revenue...no big deal (as you'll see).
The Outcome:
Two funny and endearing Harmon Brothers "Hero Lite" video ads helped turn Keto Chow's $321K investment into $14M in revenue. So either a crazy number of people are buying Keto Chow, or one guy is buying way too much.
Either way, Keto Chow for the win!
Video Views: 10.7 million total
Witch: 5.7 billion
Rapunzel: 5 million and counting
Revenue Lift: 121%
Years before Keto Chow came to life, Chris Blair found that the ketogenic diet dramatically helped his son who suffered from seizures. The catch? The diet was really unapproachable as a way of life for the rest of the family. This would mean spending a large portion of each day creating separate meals. It wasn't sustainable for their busy family.
In 2015 and after years of trial and error, Chris developed a keto-friendly meal replacement that was simple to prepare, had all the nutrients that traditional keto misses—and it actually tasted good. Like really good. And he was using it himself to lose weight, so he knew it was effective. The product quickly gained fans and racked up thousands of five-star reviews on Amazon raving about the product (more than our moms ever have about us).
In the crisp fall of 2018, Keto Chow slid into our DM's looking for some advertising that would expand their already- growing company. We were impressed by their product, but were also drawn to their story. Part of the reason Chris built Keto Chow was to make Keto more accessible for everyone who needs it. Ultimately After exploring the market, the product—and especially the people—we signed with Keto Chow because their product was already changing lives and we knew we'd be able to bring it to an even wider audience. That, and we were craving some more free samples.
The Campaign:
With the goal to represent the best keto meal replacement on the market, we created a hilariously quirky ad answering one question:
What would happen if the witch from Hansel and Gretel ate Keto Chow instead of kids?
It's less graphic than it sounds. The client wasn't the only one who loved it. In a single year Keto Chow went from $321K to $8.8M. After making what we can only describe as LITERALLY SO MUCH MONEY, Keto Chow came back for more (just like we did for their shakes).
In 2020 we collaborated with Keto Chow to create a second ad telling the classic fairy-tale of the prince who couldn't lose weight until he used Keto Chow. Not familiar with that time-tested classic? Watch it here. In less than six months from the release of that campaign Keto Chow brought in $7.1M. That's not just a lot of money, that's a lot of people who finally found a diet that suits them.
Keto Chow is continually growing as the go-to replacement meal for keto-ites. They're on track to do $15-16M for the year 2020.
Chris made a product that serves everyone, from people trying to lose weight, to people who need Keto for medical reasons, to anyone who wants an easy, healthy meal. We've been honored to show everyone that Keto Chow could make their life better, honored to work with fantastic entrepreneurs like Chris and his co-conspirator, Miriam—and hey, we really enjoyed our free samples.
"Three months after we launched the first ad, our revenue increased 121%. We thought we were prepared, but we were grossly unprepared for just how successful the ad would be."

Selling with stories – how to build connection and fruitful relationships
Sarah Lloyd-Hughes
Rob entered the meeting room, excited about the presentation he was ready to deliver to a potential customer. They were big cheeses and he knew he had to impress them, so he'd gathered all the data he could find and packed his slides with graphs to showcase credible evidence to support his pitch. By slide five of 50, people started looking at their phones. Undeterred, Rob carried on clicking through, because there was so much more he wanted to say and he hadn't even got to the killer infographic yet…
No wonder this meeting went nowhere.
At the other end of the spectrum, we've probably all experienced the hurried, don't-take-a-breath sales approach. The five-minute pitch bombarding you with flimsy benefits and false scarcity that's like an assault on the senses. It might trick a few into making a reluctant, one-time purchase to make the salesperson go away, but it's never going to help build relationships and long-term customer loyalty.
These and other sales techniques miss the mark because they fail to create a meaningful connection with the audience. And after the year we've had, people are asking more profound questions of themselves and others to make sense of the world: "What are we in this for?", "What's the purpose behind the company", "Do our values align?" etc.
With 95% of buying decisions taking place subconsciously (Gerald Zaltman, Harvard Business School), an emotional connection is crucial.
The art (and science) of storytelling
This is where storytelling comes in; the gateway to the subconscious mind and the 'gut feeling' that's responsible for the vast majority of purchases. Endless studies show how storytelling stimulates the brain differently, where listeners physically experience the story, not just listen to it. A story can make a message hit home so it stays with you for days, sometimes years, afterwards. And it can be the difference between failing to make any impact and inspiring others to take action.
Telling a relevant story helps potential customers to see themselves or their customers in that situation. Instead of broadcasting a load of messages to the client, a story can help them picture the scene and it sparks a conversation, so they come to the same conclusion as yours, which makes selling far more natural and effective.
People often worry that telling a story isn't suitable for a meeting with serious executives. That being 'fluffy' undermines their credibility, or that sharing something personal makes them appear weak. Quite the opposite is true. A well-placed story is the ultimate evidence of why your work matters. And the good news is, storytelling is a wholly teachable skill.
With training, you can use stories to help:
Capture people's attention
Build trust and rapport
Show the human impact of what you do
Make data and complex information relatable
Change hearts and minds
Move people to take action
Be more memorable
It's how one sales director transformed his approach. After working with Ginger he told us:
"I won a multi-million-pound pitch that by rights we shouldn't have won… All our competitors were hiding behind expensive 3D models and I just went in with a pen, whiteboard and a couple of great stories."
Let's not forget, it's not just about directly selling something for cash. At some stage we all need to sell something – whether that's our ideas, different perspectives, reasons for change, challenging messages and more. Storytelling can help us influence on many different levels and create loyalty well before we focus on selling a particular product or service.
For example, storytelling is how Ugo Ojike, Managing Director and diversity champion at Accenture, champions the need for courageous conversations about race.
And how Michelle Poorte, Project Manager bij Vattenfall, uses a story about the relationship with her childhood friend to press for greater understanding and curiosity in society.
How to use storytelling
One of the main reasons people hold back from using stories is because they're unsure how to use them in a business situation.
Storytelling models can get overcomplicated, or they just don't fit day-to-day business reality. Ginger storytelling expert, Robin Bayley, explains:
"When you strip it back, storytelling is about moving people from point A to point B. But the challenge is the potential customer has to give something up: their time, their point of view, their position they hold, the 'we've-always-done-it-this-way' state of mind.
"A story which gives the customer the opportunity to visualise what's in it for them, where they feel what it would be like to shift perspectives, and can see a clear and simple path to making a decision, is more likely to say yes and be receptive to building a deeper and more fruitful relationship with you."
Types of business story
Here's a simple way of looking at some of the most important types of stories:
Those that tell us where we come from (Origin stories)
Those that tell us what we do now (Impact stories)
Those that tell us where we are going (Vision stories)
Top tips for business storytelling
1. Know your customer
Focus in on your customer so you understand what motivates them. And unlike the football bosses announcing the ill-fated European Football Super League, think beyond the small group of people directly in front of you. Who has the ultimate buying power? Who are their customers and what matters to them? How can you help make their lives better? This will help you identify stories which resonate with their values, their purpose and intention. Showing how well you understand them and their customers through storytelling is far more powerful than a super-polished slide deck or a heap of data without meaning.
2. Identify the real hero
Even if you're sharing a personal story about something that happened to you, the main focus needs to be on the who, or the what that made the difference. It needs to be relatable and meaningful to your audience, bringing something they'll care about to life, where the customer can see themselves in the story and where they have the opportunity to make a positive impact as a result. Cue the sales pitch in the movie Tommy Boy for an example of getting it back-to-front - where the potential customer is made to feel like the 'villain' of the story!
3. Show them the way
The aim of the sales pitch is to take someone from where they are now to where you want them to be. But shoving them in a direction they don't want to go in is never going to work. You need to invite them to come to your conclusion by painting a picture of what it's like on the other side. We use a river analogy with a series of stepping stones to help lay a path to your perspective. What would make your customer want to cross the river and how can you make it easy for them to do it?

Q: Redux business logic best practice Im building a shopping cart with React and Redux and failing to understand the best practice flow.
My Cart ACTIONS:
export const addToCart = (product) => (dispatch, getState) => {
  let { products: cartProducts } = getState().cart;
  let { newCartProducts, totalPrice } = handleAddToCart(cartProducts, product);
  dispatch(
    add({
      products: newCartProducts,
      total: totalPrice,
    })
  );
};

Mock-Server handlers: (All the logic of updating the product is going here => my main question is if this is makes any sense.
export function handleAddToCart(cartProducts, currentProduct) {
  let idx = cartProducts.findIndex((p) => p.id === currentProduct.id);
  let productInCart = cartProducts[idx];
  if (productInCart) {
    let updatedProduct = {
      ...currentProduct,
      quantity: productInCart.quantity + 1,
      price:
        productInCart.price +
        applySale({
          ...currentProduct,
          quantity: productInCart.quantity + 1,
          currentTotal: productInCart.price,
        }),
    };
    cartProducts.splice(idx, 1, updatedProduct);
  } else cartProducts.push({ ...currentProduct, quantity: 1 });
  let totalPrice = cartProducts.reduce((acc, val) => (acc += val.price), 0);
  return { newCartProducts: cartProducts, totalPrice };
}

Cart reducer:

};
export default (state = DEFAULT_STATE, action) => {
  switch (action.type) {
    case "ADD_TO_CART":
      return {
        products: [...action.payload.products],
        total: action.payload.total,
      };

    default:
      return DEFAULT_STATE;
  }
};

As you see from the code, I kept action and reducer logic to minimum and let the handler manipulate data. only after the data is manipulated, I insert it to the state.
After giving it thought, the reducer ADD_TO_CART is only symbolic because it gets an array and not an item so it can be actually a multi purpose reducer which is i think not so good.
Would be great to hear more opinions.

A: We specifically recommend putting as much logic as possible into reducers, and treating actions as "events" that describe "what happened" with the minimal amount of data inside.
Also, note that you should be using our official Redux Toolkit package, which will drastically simplify your Redux logic.

Q: Missing input file for rule all [snakemake] I've read some other questions with the same topic but I cannot solve it at all...
I'm trying to concatenate some files when I have got a second one if not, do nothing... table:
name              | path                                                                        | path2
554_MO_GEM12_r070 | data/171219_NB501241_0070_AHCHYNBGX5/fastq/554_MO_GEM12_r070_S5_R1_001.fastq.gz  |
693_SP_GEM12_r070 | data/171219_NB501241_0070_AHCHYNBGX5/fastq/693_SP_GEM12_r070_S21_R1_001.fastq.gz | data/200914_NB501241_0451_AHFNHMBGXG/fastq/693_MO_reseq70_r451_S1_R1_001.fastq.gz
866_MO_GEM12_r070 | data/171219_NB501241_0070_AHCHYNBGX5/fastq/866_MO_GEM12_r070_S10_R1_001.fastq.gz |
708_MO_GEM12_r070 | data/171219_NB501241_0070_AHCHYNBGX5/fastq/708_MO_GEM12_r070_S9_R1_001.fastq.gz  | data/180201_NB501241_0088_AHJ2GHBGX5/fastq/708_MO_GEM12_reseq070_r088_S5_R1_001.fastq.gz

This is the (simplified) Snakefile...
import os
import pandas as pd
import subprocess

### loading samples
SAMPLES = pd.read_csv("prueba_snakemake.csv")
SAMPLES.name = SAMPLES.name.astype(str)
SAMPLES = SAMPLES.set_index("name")

### including rules
include: "rules/testings.smk"

rule all:
    input:
        expand(["data/processed/{sample}.test"], sample=SAMPLES.index)

... and this is the testings.smk:
def concatenate_fastq(sample, sample_df):
    res_file = f"data/processed/{sample}_concatenated.fastq.gz"
    if not os.path.isfile(res_file):
        cmd = f"cat {[sample_df['path']][0]} {[sample_df['path2']][0]} > {res_file}"
        subprocess.run(cmd, shell=True)
    return [res_file]

def get_fastq_files(wildcards):
    sample_df = SAMPLES.loc[wildcards.sample]
    if pd.isna(sample_df["path2"]):
        reads = [sample_df["path"]]
    else:
        reads = concatenate_fastq(wildcards.sample, sample_df)
    print(reads)
    return reads

rule test_rule:
    input:
        reads = get_fastq_files
    output:
        "data/processed/{sample}.test"
    shell:
        "touch {output}"

But something is not working well,

*

*when concatenation is not performed none file is generated (and it'd be expected to be some touch files),

*new concatenated files are correctly stored in the folder but they are not detected (?) by the rule all:

Building DAG of jobs...
['data/RUNs/171219_NB501241_0070_AHCHYNBGX5/fastq/554_MO_GEM12_r070_S5_R1_001.fastq.gz']
['data/processed/693_SP_GEM12_r070_concatenated.fastq.gz']
MissingInputException in line 18 of snake_flow/workflows/rules/trimming.smk:
Missing input files for rule test_rule:
data/processed/693_SP_GEM12_r070_concatenated.fastq.gz

I think is not a wildcard problem nor different output's paths. Any idea what I'm missing, please? Thanks.

A: I'm not sure how snakemake handles this situation, a possible explanation is snakemake detects input files before executing the input function (if I was wrong please correct)
A better way to do this is to create a new rule, i.e., rule concatenate. Let this rule generates the input for your test_rule. An example:
def find_input(wildcards):
    sample_df = SAMPLES.loc[wildcards.sample]
    files = [sample_df["path1"]] if pd.isnull(sample_df["path2"]) else [sample_df["path1"], sample_df["path2"]]
    return files

rule concatenate:
    input:
        find_input
    output:
        "data/processed/{sample}_concatenated.fastq.gz"
    shell:
        "cat {input} > {output}"

rule test_rule:
    input:
        "data/processed/{sample}_concatenated.fastq.gz"
    output:
        "data/processed/{sample}.test"
    shell:
        "touch {output}"

32nd annual Cattle Barons' Gala hosts supporters and cancer survivors alike
By Alex Leroux | June 29, 2019 at 9:46 PM CDT - Updated June 29 at 11:03 PM
TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - The 32nd annual Tyler Cattle Barons' Gala took place Saturday evening in Tyler.
The event benefits the American Cancer Society and it's research efforts towards finding a cure for cancer.
Last year's event raised more than $495,000 and this year's hosts hope to top that amount.
"I mean, cancer is so prevalent," said Jayme Fitzpatrick, a co-chair of the event. "You don't even realize some of the people you meet that have been effected by cancer."
With raffles, auctions, vendors and performers, those in attendance said the event is a fun way to raise money for cancer research.
"My hair is growing back," said cancer survivor Kate Sherwood, with a big smile on her face. "Last year at Cattle Barons' I wore a wig, so this year I'm wearing my real hair."
"It's a good cause and it raises great money, and it's fun for the people who come," said Sherwood. "We drove all the way from Alabama to come back."
Since Tyler's first gala in 1988, over $15 million has been raised.

The most exotic destination easily reached from the UK without flying has to be Morocco. Not only is it a fantastic place to visit, but the journey is as interesting as the destination. Tangier is 48 comfortable hours from London, with a day in Madrid and a sea voyage across the Straits of Gibraltar.
The adventure starts at Waterloo, with a lunchtime departure by Eurostar. There's time for a vin rouge in Paris before joining the excellent Trenhotel Francisco de Goya overnight to Madrid. A bed in a tourist-class sleeper starts at £50 each way, but two people travelling together can get a Gran Classe two-bed room with private shower and toilet for £107pp. This includes your evening meal in the restaurant car with three courses and a selection of wines, rounded off with coffee and liqueurs.
