NASA's Perseverance rover finally scooped up a piece of Mars
It's a fortunate turnaround from early August, when Perseverance made its first attempt at getting a sample but scientists found that nothing actually ended up in the collection tube. The coring mechanism had unfortunately ground the fragile rock into a powder, which fell back onto the ground near the drilling hole. Rochette was chosen in part because the rock there was deemed hardier and more likely to get trapped in the tube.
Why it's a big deal: Collecting samples is one of the marquee goals of the mission. Perseverance is equipped with 43 collection tubes, and NASA hopes to fill them all with rock and soil samples from Mars to one day bring back to Earth. The 28-mile-long Jezero Crater is thought to be the site of a former river delta. If Mars was ever habitable during its wet era billions of years ago, this is one of the best spots for fossilized life to have found a home. Although Perseverance is armed with instruments that will tell us a lot about what exists at Jezero, the best opportunity to actually look for biosignatures and traces of microbial life is in a laboratory on Earth.

When it comes to improving your cardio and more significantly your upper body strength, rowing is a fantastic option. Of course this best suited to you if you have access to water sports and facilities, but can be done individually or as a team. This is also a top choice if you're about to start, or are currently at university.
You might be surprised to know that cricket is also great for fitness, as to the uninitiated it might not necessarily appear that way. It's quite the opposite though, you need a great deal of stamina and mental strength to continue racking up runs, batting, bowling and indeed running after balls when fielding; often for hours of play.
You also need to be disciplined and have respect for safety with cricket as it can be quite dangerous. You only have to look back to the tragic events surrounding the death of cricketer Philip Hughes who was struck by a cricket ball, to appreciate how important protective gear like cricket helmets, pads and gloves are.
In a similar vein to the above, MMA fighting is another sport which improves fitness and strength and also requires a disciplined attitude. Like the name suggests, the sport involves combinations of fighting styles being used in competitive bouts (although you can just train and not fight). Naturally, this can be quite intense and not for the faint-hearted but it is an incredible workout.
If you want to get toned and improve your strength, then gymnastics certainly fits this bill. The circuits of exercises like press-ups, burpees, pull-ups and other stretches are just the beginning of what you can do in this sport. Eventually you will find yourself balancing on beams, supporting your weight on one hand and bending yourself in all sorts of shapes. Again, this is great for students but is also open to every age and ability.
So if you're about to start your new fitness regime and want to get involved with a new sport, try something a little different and involve yourself in any of these top options.

MoviePass Has Altered Its Terms of Service
by Michael Kennedy
– on Oct 31, 2017
The unlimited movies for one monthly fee site MoviePass has altered its terms of service in a way that might be hinting at increased prices. It's only been a few months since MoviePass captured the attention of moviegoers nationwide, after drastically lowering its prices. Depending on the market one loved in, MoviePass used to cost customers up to $50 per month for the privilege of being able to see one movie every day of the year, but back in August, the service shocked everyone by slashing its monthly price to a universal $9.95.
This Netflix-like price entitled MoviePass subscribers to attend a screening of a different movie every single day if they so chose, with a few caveats. Only regular 2D showings were included - so no 3D, IMAX, etc. - one had to be physically at the theater to buy a ticket - excluding a small number of theaters that offered e-ticketing - and tickets could only be purchased the day of the showing. Those limitations obviously didn't work well for those who like to buy advance tickets to opening night screenings of the latest blockbuster, but the MoviePass service could still offer a great value to those users willing to work within its rules.
Related: MoviePass $10 Subscription Deal and Restrictions Explained
That all said, MoviePass recently made some changes to its terms of service that are likely to cause many subscribers to raise an eyebrow. While MoviePass has yet to make any official changes to its pricing structure, the alterations it made to its T.O.S. certainly seem to be pointing in that direction, and at the very least seem to be designed to possibly penalize heavy users. Those same heavy users are of course who the service was ostensibly marketed toward. Here's the full text of the change:
"MoviePass reserves the right to change the rules of movie-going attendance and ticket availability to members in connection with the service at anytime. MoviePass reserves the right to change from time to time the number of eligible movies a member can see per month. MoviePass reserves the right to offer members a new price option if they exceed watching a certain amount of movies per month."
Well, that doesn't seem fair. The whole idea behind MoviePass was - at least in theory - supposed to be that subscribers would have the freedom to see as many movies as they cared to, provided that they operated within the service's stated limitations. While some doubted that the $9.95 price would be permanent, it's disheartening to see MoviePass already putting a loophole in for itself that would allow it to charge heavy users more than those who might only go a few times a month.
By comparison, if Netflix were to institute a similar provision, allowing for heavy streamers to be charged more per month than those who streamed less, one can only imagine the widespread backlash that would ensue. They would be rightly slammed for promoting their service as unlimited use for one price, then changing that price for heavy users. The MoviePass service still has a lot of potential for greatness, and one hopes that they'll be wise enough not to actually act on the legal out they've just given themselves. Such a move would hardly be conducive to earning customer loyalty.

Coinmarketcap is a website used to get an overview of the cryptocurrency market. Coinmarketcap contains most of the important information that you need to know about cryptocurrency. Such information includes: market cap (the total number of coins in circulation multiplied by each coin price), market price (price of the coin in dollars), volume (fiat value of the currency traded in the last 24hrs), circulating supply (total number of coins in existence), and change (how the coin has traded for the last 24hrs).
If you ask individuals who are involved in trading or investing in cryptocurrencies the site they use to compare cryptocoins valuations, you will be surprised that over eighty percent will say coinmarketcap. In the cryptocoin space, coinmarketcap is the most dominant price-checking site. Coinmarketcap is comprehensive and easy to use, which makes it a leader in the market.
You can also check out this list about the crypto and blockchain websites from Africa.
Onchainfx is among the most detailed site. It is investor minded and provides a greater range of metrics compared to coinmarketcap. In Onchainfx, you can view additional information such as the coin's 2050-market cap that is used to calculate the future worth of the coin, the Return on Investment (ROI) of a particular cryptocurrency, historical prices and the percentage of the total number of coins supplied. This particular data cannot be viewed on coinmarketcap.
Cryptocompare has it all. It displays trades in real time and filters the cryptocurrencies by proof type algorithm. Additionally, you can view cryptocurrency rankings and exchanges. It also gives information on mining and users are able to read reviews of wallets. Notably, Cryptocompare has a forum and commenting system where users can leave comments or sentiments in regards to various cryptocoins and exchanges.
Coincodex is designed in such a way that it is almost similar to coinmarketcap, but it has nice visualizations and a cleaner interface than coinmarketcap. Coincodex website has very important guidelines regarding cryptocurrencies for beginners and results can be analyzed based on cryptocoins performance over a period of 24hr and a year. Notably, Coincodex twitter handle provides important tips on emerging alts so following it can be of great help.

On Coincheckup website, one is also able to view how a certain cryptocurrency has traded over the past 24 hours and its score in comparison to other cryptocoins.
Coincap is not very different from coinmarketcap. The only major difference between the two is that in Coincap, prices on Shape shifts are updated in real time. Hence, in maters where accuracy is needed, this is one of the websites to use though it gets dizzying sometimes when the updates are being done.
Coingecko also uses almost a similar format as coinmarketcap but has some added features that enable the filtering of cryptocurrencies based on their hashing algorithm, which is a very useful aspect for miners. Additionally, one can be able to view a list of forthcoming Initial Coin Offering (ICO).
Coinlib is another alternative crypto comparison site although it does not have any unique characteristics. It only provides information on the Name of the cryptocurrency, it market price, the market cap, the volume and a graph on how it traded for the last 24hrs.
Bitinfocharts is a bit complicated compared to the other websites. However, it is the best site to use when doing comparisons.

Bitinfocharts also give clues of which projects are under developments.
Coinmarketcap is the most used website when it comes to checking the valuations of cryptocurrencies. However, with the alternatives listed above, one can use two or more sites to be able to make comparisons and be able to get accurate data. It is important to note that having a single source of data can have limitations, as it may not give reliable and accurate information/ data as expected.

So, I'm trying to find complete seasons of the show. They don't appear to be available at the moment on Netflix, Hulu or Amazon at least not without a rental fee or anything.
And unfortunately we never got any full season releases here in the US. Am I right in guessing my best option is the complete series releases from the U.K.?
And will the U.K. dvds typically play on most modern PCs? Or would I need to get a special DVD player that plays region 2 discs?
The US only got the first season on DVD which is the Early Years. Interestingly they used the UK versions of the episodes instead of the US narrations.
Some UK DVDs can work on US DVD players if you set region mode to "international". My old DVD player had this option for the season 2 DVD I have which sadly had to be replaced by a new one that no longer has that option. Not sure how it would work with PCs but a friend of mine who owned the first four seasons on DVD would watch them on a portable DVD player that supported region 2 discs.
Thanks for the reply! I did order the first 6 seasons, and I'll see what I need to do to view them once they're here.
I also read that PCs should have a setting to change region on the disc drives. So I'll see if that works.
I still find it disappointing that the US has only gotten season 1 completely on DVD. I would definitely purchase S2-6 on DVD on the spot to get the George Carlin and Alec Baldwin dubbed versions of those episodes in production order and higher quality.
I remember when I bought the 1st season of Thomas. I was so excited and worried that I was to old getting the same episodes on DVD.
I read something somewhere online a few months ago after the 1st season came out there were coming out with season 2 the next year. Sadly it never happened.
I love the voice narration of Ringo Starr and George Carlin. To bad the newer rerelease versions had the current narrator. He didn't have the feel or voice to really separate the characters. Half the time it sounds one sided.
Got my first season today (UK release). Great quality and love the narration! Just wondering out of curiosity, do they start calling The Fat Controller, Sir Topham Hatt at some point in the series? Or is he still Fat Controller even into the CGI years? Just interesting differences from the U.S. versions I'm use to. I think I prefer the U.K. ones now!
In the UK he's called The Fat Controller and in USA we call him Sit Topham Hatt. It was mentioned going back to the 1st season.
During this past week I was planning on building the narrow gauge. So I decided to buy a ERTL George to go with the locomotives and maybe the future of Sir Handel.
I'm downsizing due to a move and unfortunately will have part with many of my Thomas engines :/ PM me for a list of items and prices, and I'll be glad to provide pictures and answer any questions.
The yearly announcements are only two weeks away. It's finally February, and the announcements are getting closer.
Very good chance someone will start a 2019 predictions thread immediately after the announcements.
Did anyone go to the show?
I didn't see anything new there. The representatives were fairly busy, as they were right at the front of the entrance, so I didn't really ask them any questions, just gave them a quick greeting.
The revisioned James was on display though instead of the regular James, which is good. Star Hobbies also had some good deals, as usual.
I think my favorite layout at WGH this year was a Z-scale layout with a lot of twists and turns, going through a midwest sort of scenes. Plenty of LEGO trains too.
Now I've got everything I'm selling on eBay. Click here, and happy bidding.

China under Xi unveils the Boldest Reforms Policies in Decades
by admin August 26, 2018 June 4, 2019 0
China recently unveiled its boldest series of social and financial reforms in nearly three decades. Several major changes take place as a part of these reforms. Beijing relaxed the imposition of the one-child policy and freed up their markets further to accommodate increased international market conditions. These sweeping alterations cleared doubts about the zest of the central leadership to initiate strong policies that can give a fresh lease of life to the stressed economy. The Chinese economy has been suffering from a breathneck speed of expansion to meet global workforce demands. This rapid expansion has been already showing signs of faltering. The Chinese leadership has been fast in recognizing the signs of a breakdown, and in taking the necessary steps to combat the growing financial and social concerns. However, it may take years for the reform effects to permeate.
The Communist Party released an official document following a 4-day conclave of the top leaders. This conclave consented on initiating residence and land registration reforms necessary in boosting the conveniences of the urban population. Present policy line dictates that the economy is about to ensure the transition to a western economic model based on services and consumption. The new reforms indicate that the market would be the key decisive factor in determining the pricing of electricity, fuels, and other major resources. Beijing also promised to hasten the opening of the national capital account for furthering financial liberalization.
Xu Hongcai, a senior economist at the International Economic Exchanges China Center described the reforms as 'unprecedented'. The Beijing think tank notes that the earlier reforms had many limitations. The current reforms are 'well-rounded', on the contrary. Analysts explain that these are in the line of creating the same impact as the reforms in 1970-1980 by Deng Xiaoping. Those early reforms effectively opened up the markets of the country to increased international trade. President Xi Jinping continues to take the reformation further by undertaking several major changes. These include the abolition of controversial labor camps and the unification of the social security systems in the urban and rural regions.
The new policies would be in implementation according to the 60-point plan developed for the purpose. The fast actions by the president also eased confusions that it would take many years to formulate comprehensive policies on covering the responsibilities of the huge party and the government bureaucracy system. The president took to the office in March. Xi took the first steps by setting up a working group to look after the economic reforms along with a new state security council. Dali Yang, political science professor at the University of Chicago described the new leadership as 'robust' and 'systematic'.
Observers and analysts note that these proposed reforms are the first steps to a long term plan of a huge transformation system. The primary focus of the transition would be on developing consumption reliability and tackling widespread discontent and inequality in the society. The latter concern poses a particularly critical concern to the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.

Folks, I am a contrarian. Whatever the apostate evangelical Noahide proselytes who are in bed with the Talmudic Hasidic Pharisaic Orthodox jews, do or say, I am totally opposed. I smell a Hegelian, Thesis + anti-Thesis = Synthesis hoax. The Neo-Cons (Talmudic Jewish Leaders) know, that Obama is the arch enemy. They also know that Hilary Clinton will follow the Marxist Order of Aholibah the secular zionist.
The goal is Talmudic Sanhedrin supreme reign for their Talmudic King Strata over the earth. Moshaich ben Doo Doo (Pun intended) Moshaich ben David, AKA False Christ. This guy can only come under a dumpity Trump presidency.
According to the "Protocols" of the "Forged" people of zion, they envisioned where the people would be totally disenfranchised by their crony capitalist governments and overthrow these governments to achieve their One World Odour. It is my position the "TRUMP PHENOMENON" Is a carefully orchestrated ruse, to enrage the masses who are certainly enraged, to give a total mass sweep in to their Candidate, Donald Trump…Beware !

What Do Israelis Really Think About Trump, Clinton and Bernie?
By Abra Forman March 7, 2016 , 1:30 pm
(Photo: BreakingIsraelNews)
A majority of Israeli Jews believe that Donald Trump would be a friend to Israel if he were elected president, according to a recent poll conducted by the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI).
The poll found that 61 percent of Israeli Jews believe Trump would be "very friendly" or "moderately friendly" to Israel, while a mere 14 percent said they believed he would be "not so friendly" or "not at all friendly".
The IDI poll also found that between the two Democratic candidates, Hillary Clintonand Bernie Sanders, Clinton was the preferred choice, with 40.5 percent of those polled saying she would be better for Israel and only 16.5 percent choosing Sanders despite his being the first Jewish presidential candidate in history to have won a US presidential primary.
Overall, a higher percentage of Israeli Jews felt a Republican candidate would be better for Israel, with 34 percent expressing that view and only 28 percent saying they believed a Democrat would be preferable. 13 percent said that it would make no difference.
Israel has figured large in the ongoing contentious presidential race, with Republicans Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio fighting to prove that they would fully support Israel and frontrunner Trump saying he would be "neutral" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
However, Trump is seen by many as the most "Israeli" candidate, sharing the sometimes grating characteristics that Israelis are known for – aggression, bluntness, and arrogance, among others. The traits, while many view them negatively, indicate strength and toughness, qualities Israelis believe are necessary for wading into the Middle East conflict.
Many Israelis like Trump simply by virtue of the fact that he is the polar opposite of Barack Obama, for whom little love is lost in the Jewish state.
(The Add above about sums it up….RP)
As for the first viable presidential Jewish candidate in US history, Bernie Sanders, Israelis consider him among the worst choices for a pro-Israel president.
Sanders has alienated Jews by continually downplaying his Jewish heritage on the campaign trail, leading moderator Anderson Cooper to ask him during Sunday night's Democratic debate if he had been doing so intentionally.
The self-proclaimed socialist candidate denied it, insisting, "I am very proud of being Jewish and that is an essential part of who I am as a human being."
However, Jews are wary of Sanders' attitudes towards Israel, which he has not said he will support. One campaign website states, "Bernie is Jewish, but he does not favor Israel over the Palestinians, nor does he otherwise let his religion influence his positions regarding the conflict."
It adds that Sanders is "not a big supporter of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and believes that diplomacy, not military action or economic sanctions, can keep Israel safe from Iran."
Sanders is unlikely to win the Democratic nomination, however, having won less than half of the number of delegates held by Clinton. Like Biblical Korach, who tried to raise a rebellion against Moses, Sanders' rush to start a "political revolution" and leave his people behind in his wake seems fated to come to an unfortunate end.
Who woulda thunkit ?

Burden of disease
30 years of the Institute!
Hi everyone, and welcome to 30 years of the Institute!
Having joined the Institute only a year ago, I have repeatedly found two things to be clearly evident. The first is what a wonderful organisation it is to work in. Staff want to be here and recognise the valuable role they play. The second is how well respected, valued and trusted the Institute is. We also have a family of friends of the Institute who believe in what we do and are willing to support us as we move ahead.
Nowhere was this demonstrated more than in the lead-up to my starting here in June 2016. Besides the great support given to me by Andrew Kettle, the acting Director, I received emails and text messages from the four Directors preceding Andrew.
This warm and generous support, born of some 20 years of experience and passion in driving an agenda of data and analysis, is greatly appreciated, with everyone offering me assistance and 'a chat' as I moved into the role.
I note that in Issue no. 22 of Access, in 2012, the then Director, David Kalisch, commented on the honour of being a custodian of the Institute's history and its destiny. I couldn't agree more.
Our role has always been to develop authoritative statistics and information to service the community, governments and policy makers. That function is still the same today, the only change being that we have sharpened our view of our role. We now we have a purpose that states:
'Stronger evidence, better decisions, improved health and welfare'.
We have consistently applied ourselves to providing independent and rigorous data, reports and analyses, which have helped to guide decision makers over 3 decades. Now, we are embarking on a new phase of our journey—taking on the challenge to respond to the digital era and to manage quantities of data that grow exponentially year after year. We need to move beyond the 'Big Data' focus and embrace our role as a leader in 'Smart Data'.
We must continue to develop and enhance our capabilities to align with the new opportunities becoming available to us. We need to think and work as a single entity—as 'One Institute'—and show our stakeholders and partners that it is our expert capability that will continue to deliver the evidence that enables others to achieve their strategic goals through better decisions. I see this as an exciting time for us as an agency. As well as having a new structure from 1 July, we have our new Strategic Directions and new corporate branding and we are embarking on a 2-year improvement plan to further enhance our capability.
So, as we recognise the milestone of 30 years, I think the most important thing to highlight is our people—highly educated, highly skilled, and highly committed. From our longest serving staff member Joanne Maples (who, while on leave preparing for a well-earned retirement, is still on staff after starting with us in 1987) to our newest staff who will join us in 2017. I am proud and honoured to help lead a team that, while small, is passionate and dedicated about doing work that really makes a difference to the lives of all Australians.

For almost a decade the political discourse in the UK and beyond has been dominated by the rhetoric of austerity. It would be difficult to count the number of times we've each heard phrases like "belt-tightening," "do more with less" and "live within our means" out of the mouths of politicians and journalists.
We have all heard the policies of the UK government justified as follows: "everyone knows if you max out your credit, you don't go out and get another one!" or words to that effect. This explanation is based on the fallacy that national and household debt are in some sense analogous. There are various reasons why this comparison is absurd. Most households do not have the power to issue bonds, raise money through taxation or own a controlling stake in a national bank to name a few.
These phrases demonstrate a carefully selected use of language intended to create the sense not only that the policy of cutting public services is not only a necessity but that any alternative would be morally repugnant, the "tyrant's plea." The credit card analogy is designed to appeal to the listener's sense of personal financial responsibility.
The image of the reckless individual who maxes out their credit card and fails to learn their lesson, immediately getting another one conjures up an archetypical image of profligacy. The speaker might as well tell the fable of the Ant and the Grasshopper to make their point. The nauseating, often repeated soundbite "should have fixed the roof while the sun is shining" to refer to the Labour party's time in office, is deployed to similar effect.
For example, consider the Chancellor of the Exchequer's 2015 budget speech: "in normal economic times governments should run an overall budget surplus, so our country is better prepared for whatever storms lie ahead. In short we should always fix the roof while the sun is shining." In the same speech, the Chancellor describes how the budget measures will allow us to "live within our means as a country," using language which is intentionally both vague and preachy.
This spirit of capitalism does not refer to the spirit in the metaphysical sense, but rather a set of values, the spirit of hard work, of progress, that were historically associated with Protestantism. However, it is important to not that, even in Weber's view, these values are not specific to any one religion. He argues that this spirit emerges wherever traditional forms of capitalism based on interpersonal relationships have been replaced by the rationalized organization of labor.
In this view capitalism was believed to embody moral justice, like an invisible hand of God, rewarding those who work hard and save money and punishing those who don't. This rational but false belief in the karmic value of financial turmoil still underpins how many people view economic crises, which is why the deployment of morally weighted, if not religious, language by politicians is still so powerful.
The politics of austerity can be debated endlessly and it is not my intention to argue that a consensus could easily be established. Nor is it my intention to argue that religion and morality have no place in political or economic discussions. Far from it. It is precisely because the ethical value of fiscal prudence is so widely held that morally-weighted language is still such an effective rhetorical tool when making economic arguments.
It is important to interrogate the choice of words by politicians on all sides, particularly when they are used to silence opposition as morally unacceptable or to distort the public's understanding of a complex issue. We must be wary each time an individual defers to the rhetoric of austerity rather than considering how the policy works in practice.

Eric Dodge Home of the Brave "God Bless America!"
I love that you use your site to educate children about our Constitution and share important history facts with kids.
Eric Dodge
Eric Dodge discovered his passion for singing in the most heartfelt of ways. While always having a strong love for music, his greatest fear was to share that passion publicly. On September 11th, 2001, as our great country suffered a terrorist attack, Eric was on a cruise ship outside of Mexico. That fateful day was when Eric made his decision to no longer be afraid. He stepped up to the microphone aboard the ship to share his voice and love of music. He was no longer willing to let his fear keep him from what was truly his gift to the world. He opened up his heart and sang Garth Brooks' song "The Dance". After his performance, a passenger approached him and encouraged him to pursue a singing career. Just as many others were changed by the events of 9/11, Eric took her words to heart and decided to follow his heart into the world of country music.
Eric has worked with Seth Riggs, vocal coach to the Stars in Hollywood and from there was sent to train with Jeffrey Skouson in Las Vegas. Thanks to these great coaches, Eric began sharing his talents professionally in 2003. He's performed hundreds of shows all over the United States and Canada. He has opened for many of Nashville's finest country music stars including: the late Chris LeDoux, Diamond Rio, Little Texas, Collin Raye, SheDAISY, Terri Clark, Julianne Hough and Carrie Underwood at the Stadium of Fire – 4th of July Celebration in Provo, Utah in front of over 50,000 people.
Eric has been featured in America's largest country music magazine, "Country Weekly" on several occasions, and on the popular website, Music News Nashville. He was also recognized as "New Country Star—Best Male Vocalist". Eric has also appeared live on many television shows. While performing on Good Things Utah on ABC 4, he met the very popular author and website mentor, Marla Cilley (aka the FlyLady) of www.FlyLady.net. She was so impressed with his performance, she asked him to record a song Titled "Why Not Today" which prompted the release of Eric's album titled "Why Not Today". Since then, Eric has accompanied FlyLady to many of her nationwide events where he has performed and been welcomed by thousands. Eric also has a weekly live radio show on Blog Talk radio where he entertains and performs for many of his fans.
Eric has recorded most of his albums at OmniSound Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, where he worked with the best producers, songwriters, and musicians. In March of 2006, his first radio single, "Anything for You" was released and hit #19 on the New Music Weekly-Independent Artists chart. His second Country album "Why Not Today" reached #3 on Amazons best seller list and his album, "A Christmas Wish" sold thousands worldwide in its first season released. His fourth album, "Home to Me" was released in April 2010. Eric Continues to produce and release new albums to this day.
Eric Dodge is a country boy at heart. When not on stage performing his favorite country songs, you can find him out riding horses or 4 wheelers or camping out at his family's ranch. He loves anything outdoors including fishing and hiking. Summer, winter, spring or fall his favorite moments are sleeping outside by the campfire under the stars. From the brim of his hat to the tips of his boots, he is a true country boy.
For more information about Eric's performances and past events as well as his press page and media files, go to www.ericdodge.com

Allow reflagging of posts marked "helpful"
With the advent of the VLQ review queue, I've come across on several occasions where I've marked a post as "Not an Answer", and the original poster or one of the reviewers made an edit to the post, but didn't change anything that would make it an answer. In these circumstances, the flag changes to "helpful", and it's immediately removed from the queue.
Right now, the flagging screen currently looks like this:
In this example, I marked it as VLQ, and the poster simply changed the link format around. It's still considered VLQ, and I can't mark it as such. It is an answer though, and I would receive a 'declined' flag, if I tried to submit it as a "Not an Answer", and a moderator reviewed the post.
The current course of action (For some of us in the SOCVR community), is to post to others to reflag the question so it goes back into the queue to get a second review. This is not needed, if we have the ability to reflag it, to indicate to the reviewers/mods that the post is still considered "Not an Answer" or "Very Low Quality".
My recommendation: Allow flags that were marked helpful, to be reflagged.
For further discussion, this was brought up in a few places, and I thought it should be worth a mention
Here: A pretty much duplicate of this post, but at this time, flags became disputed and there was no possibility to flag again. At one point, this was changed to helpful, and the second post below adds an interesting solution to fix this:
Here: A good discussion, which mentions that edits made to a post, should mark the content as "disputed", which would solve the "abusing" nature that @Bluefeet mentioned below in the comments. Disputed flags (That ONLY meet the criteria of being edited in review), should be able to be reflagged for another review. This would solve the best of both worlds: Prevent possible abuse of the current system, where someone can mark a post as VLQ and simply edit it to gain helpful flags, as well as save the mods trouble by allowing it to be resolved via the queue vs. a mod flag.

What's going to prevent users from flagging the same answer 2+ times if they get a helpful flag? I don't see why you'd need to reflag the same posts multiple times with the same flag type. – Taryn♦ Aug 22 '16 at 17:48
Why would we need to prevent it? – Goodbye StackExchange Aug 22 '16 at 17:50
Sure seems like a way to boost your helpful flag count. – Taryn♦ Aug 22 '16 at 17:50
Then, just simply revert the helpful flag (Or mark it as disputed), back to pending. Don't have it add another flag. – Goodbye StackExchange Aug 22 '16 at 17:51
Meh, that's seems far too complicated. You flagged it once, it was helpful, move on. – Taryn♦ Aug 22 '16 at 17:51
@bluefeet But again: The post is still considered not an answer. Why should I move on? – Goodbye StackExchange Aug 22 '16 at 17:52
You didn't flag it as NAA, you flagged it VLQ. NAA is still available. – Taryn♦ Aug 22 '16 at 17:52
@bluefeet Let's say you flagged an answer as "Not An Answer" (and we're assuming it really isn't). The post gets edited in review, marking the flags helpful. However, the edit still leaves the post as "Not An Answer". Should we need to raise a custom flag? Move on with our lives? Re-raising a NAA flag would make sense. That happens quite frequently actually (at least one time a day). – Tunaki Aug 22 '16 at 17:52
Why is this answer not an answer? Even if the link is removed, it still states "You can try Laravel's polymorphic relationships." That's an answer, even if it's not a great one. – Brad Larson♦ Aug 22 '16 at 17:53
@bluefeet That was an example that represents a VLQ problem. In the image case, I marked it as VLQ, and the poster simply changed the link format around. It's still considered VLQ, and I can't mark it as such. (It is an answer though, and I would receive a 'declined' flag, if I tried to submit it as such, and a moderator reviewed the post. – Goodbye StackExchange Aug 22 '16 at 17:54
I've clarified the image shown @BradLarson – Goodbye StackExchange Aug 22 '16 at 17:56
Honestly @Tunaki I only can envision users reflagging the same post over and over again after a helpful flag as a way to boost flag stats. – Taryn♦ Aug 22 '16 at 18:01
@bluefeet Why? I assumed the flag would go to a moderator queue, so only 2 outcome were possible: declined and that's it, or helpful and the post is most likely deleted. Both end the reflag cycle, don't they? Edit: wait I think I see what you mean: reflagging as VLQ over and over again because edits clear it and mark it helpful? Yeah that is... not so great. – Tunaki Aug 22 '16 at 18:03
@Tunaki We purposely block it so users aren't raising the same flag over and over again. VLQ/NAA don't go to mods so there isn't a guarantee decline - an edit could mark them helpful which would allow gaming. – Taryn♦ Aug 22 '16 at 18:08
Every additional rule we add to flagging results in a system that's harder to explain, harder to understand, harder to fix (harder to even realize when it's broken) and in some cases harder to use.
Let's take a step back here...
Flagging as a patch for insufficient permissions
The guiding principle behind the original design of Stack Overflow was that everyone was a potential moderator. See a problem? Fix it! Your participation earns you an increasingly powerful set of tools to do so, starting on day one with the ability to write competing questions and answers, soon augmented with the ability to up- and then down-mod posts, graduating into full editing rights on every post and eventually maturing into the ability to delete other's posts.
Given enough time and the will to do it, there are essentially no problems that cannot be handled directly by individual members of the site working together. This dramatically lowers the cost of moderating a site this size, by spreading the work out over thousands and thousands of individuals.
The only thing it requires... Is trust.
And that's where we started getting into trouble back about 6 years ago. The untrusted people flooding into the site vastly outnumbered those who had earned the ability to moderate. There was no guarantee that the folks looking at a given post would be able to fix it, or even know how. So flags were created as a way to escalate issues from the people who had no privileges to those who had some or all of them. Can't vote to delete? Don't know how to edit? Haven't earned downvoting privileges yet? No problem - flag it & someone will take a look.
One step forward, two steps back
Flagging presents its own set of problems. Things like spam and overt trolling have been around (and had associated flags) from the very beginning... But those are relatively uncommon problems, and in most cases were easily handled by groups of flaggers. Some simple rules enabled them to work without moderator involvement in a majority of cases: 6 flags delete and lock the post, flags age away after a couple days if a quorum wasn't reached, and rollbacks eliminate flags raised on a now-discarded abusive revision immediately.
But "very low quality", "not an answer", "not a real question"... Those are much more subjective, and the solutions are less clear-cut. In theory, most quality issues could be resolved via edits; in practice, editing is labor-intensive and good editors are scarse. As tempted as I've been over the years to status-complete Jon Skeet's old feature request, the truth is that very few people are willing to step up and fix flagged posts; closing or deleting them is by far the most common resolution. Even among the few hardy souls willing to try, it isn't always obvious what can be done to salvage a problematic post. Finally, there's the matter of scale: anyone on the Internet can create a problem, but only a handful here can resolve it.
Training wheels on a 20-speed
The end result of more widespread flagging then has been a concentration of responsibility among those who handle flags: first the tiny group of elected moderators, then the somewhat larger group of volunteers churning through the various /review queues. These hardy souls handle the vast bulk of flags raised on the site, and in some cases also raise a very large number of them... Which creates a profoundly odd situation:
Many users empowered to actually fix problems themselves instead rely on flagging to escalate the problem... To themselves.
If that sounds weird, that's because it is. But that's the situation you're describing in this proposal: you've identified a problem, escalated it to a group of users just like yourself, and - upon not finding it handled to your satisfaction - wish to escalate it again. Discouraged by restrictions placed within the system, you've resorted to calling on other users (most of whom probably share your privilege levels) to escalate it for you... Thus we have a situation where you're asking a group of users who could all just fix the problem to instead collaborate on formally asking a group of people just like themselves, a group of people who might actually end up being the same group, to intervene.
This is... Beginning to look very inefficient.
Put down the flag, pick up the pencil
As implied above, flagging is by far the most efficient initial response to a poor-quality post... At least, short of just downvoting. Hands-down, it's the most effective initial response in cases where you know the common reaction from most mods and reviewers is going to be deletion.
But if you raise enough flags, you're gonna see a few of them handled incorrectly... Or at least, in a way counter to what most folks would consider appropriate. There are all sorts of reasons for this, but editing is far from the most common. A generous estimate puts VLQ flags incorrectly dismissed by edits at under 1% of flags, so we're talking maybe one out of every hundred if those errors are distributed evenly. And at that point, flagging stops being so efficient.
In cases where you absolutely cannot see a way to resolve a situation on your own, Brad's advice is fine. Realistically, the system would almost certainly do exactly the same thing even if you did manage to get another flag raised on the post - at some point, it just isn't sane to keep doing the same thing and hoping for different results, so elected moderators get called in to resolve it. Given there's already been some disagreement over the proper course of action, if your goal is to get the post deleted then it behooves you to explain in detail why you feel this is appropriate.
But you do have another option: just edit the damn thing. In your example, you're flagging a post that's... Pretty light on detail. So, add some details. You don't have to turn it into the perfect answer, just one that an interested reader can understand and make an informed decision on. Will this take you a while? Probably. Certainly a lot longer than flagging it did. On the other hand, you only need to expend this effort once for every hundred answers you encounter (probably less), so it's hardly a crippling burden.
Flagging is a useful tool, when used as a force multiplier, used to increase the productive attention on a post. But don't feel that your hands are tied if a given flag isn't handled in the way you expected; you've earned quite a bit of trust on the site since first you gained the ability to flag - and ignoring those privileges puts you at a disadvantage. Use all the tools at your disposal when seeking to resolve problems here.
If you have flagged a non-answer that should be deleted, and it was marked as being helpful due to a misguided edit, you can use a custom flag and explain what happened and why the answer should be deleted. I should note that moderators already get automatic flags for contested reviews or delete reviews on upvoted posts that mark flags as helpful but don't delete the post.
The reason you are using a "very low quality" or "not an answer" flag is to ask for immediate deletion of a post. You should be able to justify such a deletion in a custom moderator flag, if it is warranted, without having to put something into a second cycle of review.
What you're talking about here is treating a symptom when there might be a deeper problem. I have concerns about how edits can allow non-answers to pass through review, and it might be best to address that at the source. There shouldn't need to be a reason to re-flag something.
There are problems with allowing someone to continually re-flag the same post with the same flag. We see this with comment flags, where people will regularly flag and re-flag the same innocuous comment in order to have it destroyed. They're perhaps hoping to annoy moderators into bending to their will or to spin the wheel to see if they can get someone more to their liking.
Restricting this to only helpful flags would still allow for potential flag-farming or attacks against specific posts by sending them through Low Quality review multiple times. It's probably best to allow a single flag of a default type, then force people to explain themselves in custom flags after that.

So the best case in these circumstances is to simply mark the post for moderator intervention? (Also, quick side note question. Does the moderator flags follow the same markdown syntax for comments. Can I use things like link here without you seeing [link here](http://example.com)?) – Goodbye StackExchange Aug 22 '16 at 18:14
@FrankerZ - I'm pretty sure flags aren't rendered on our end using markdown, just raw text. I also use a userscript sometimes to fetch them, and that only pulls raw text. Links are automatically highlighted on our dashboard, so I recommend just using the URL and saving the extra characters. – Brad Larson♦ Aug 22 '16 at 18:16
Also, to follow up to your "Address the source" comment: If removing the item from the queue solves 90% of posts, then I don't think much needs to be done in this case. This only involves 10% of the posts, and usually happens from a mis-guided edit, which (In my case) has always been solved by a simple reflag. (I've always thought this added it into the queue again, but I may be mistaken, and it may go straight to the mods instead). If this is the case: Flagging for mod attention instead is most likely fine. – Goodbye StackExchange Aug 22 '16 at 18:17
I've edited my original post with some further discussion. This was brought up a few other times, and I came up with another solution that could work (And would solve @bluefeet's abuse concerns.) – Goodbye StackExchange Aug 22 '16 at 18:46

Q: App Barcode Scanners I'm going out on a bit of a limb here asking this but I'm struggling to find any information  about this anywhere.
I have built an app with a barcode reader and it works in that it reads the barcode and displays the result. But the result is just the barcode number which we can already see.  I want to build it so that it will read the barcode and then give me product information.
I've heard about APIs and how Amazon have one but I can't find out anywhere how to go about this.
Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

A: Scanning a barcode only gives you the bar code number. The barcode does not inherently contain any data about the product. You need another source for that information. However, once you have the barcode you can just lookup the data from a Google search or some sort of database.

Home » about friends
The Friends of the Pacific Grove Public Library was incorporated in 1974 for the following purposes: to maintain an association of persons interested in the Pacific Grove Public Library; to focus public attention on the library; to stimulate the use of the library's resources and services; to solicit and encourage gifts, endowments and bequests to the library; to support and cooperate with the library in developing library services and facilities for the community; and to support the freedom to read as expressed in the American Library Association Bill of Rights (1974 Articles of Incorporation). These purposes are reiterated in the 2011 Restated Articles of Incorporation.
Forty years ago the city librarian, Mrs. Margaret McBride, had an idea. She envisioned a Friends group that would support the library. In the first Friends newsletter Mrs. McBride articulated her vision. "I can truly say that the foremost reason for my feeling that there was a need for this group was simply that it seemed that the community should be allowed and encouraged to become more involved in library activities; that we at the library ought to do more to make known what services we already have to offer and investigate the possibilities of expanding our services."
On January 9, 1974, our local Friends of the Pacific Grove Library was officially formed. The first Friends book sale was held three months after its formation, and within months there were over 100 members. During the first year, the Friends started a shut-in service providing books to senior citizens who found it impos- sible to get out of their home and go to the library.
In the mid 1970s, the Friends supported a bond measure to fund an expansion of the Library. In a foreshadowing of what was to happen over 30 years later with Measures J (in 2009) and Q (in 2010), the measure received 65 percent of the vote but failed to reach the critical two-thirds level by 95 votes. A year later the Library was able to get a federal grant for the expansion, and in 1978 the most recent addition on the Library's south side was completed.
Mrs. McBride was pleased with her brainchild. "It has been so gratifying simply to find more than 100 persons eager to be Friends of the Library. That you have turned out to be possessed of so many talents and so willing to share them has been a real bonus. The mere fact that we have an active and growing association has helped carry the message to the community that there is a library in Pacific Grove, and that something is going on in it."
The first by-laws established four classes of dues:
individual membership $1.00
family membership $5.00

Tag: whiteboard animation
Are animated videos really that effective?
Whiteboard animation is getting popular because the viewers can be taught so much. Such animation is interesting to watch due to which retention is high. The best part about such kind of animation is that it can be used for explaining complex diagrams to the audience and blueprints also. The learners can get the complexities of such diagrams when they are drawn right before them in such animation. In whiteboard animation, the major effect is created by the drawing hand that creates the characters on the screen. People feel involved in the video because of this hand; hence it cannot be avoided. Whiteboard animations should not be longer than 5 minutes so that the audience does not lose interest.
In whiteboard animation, there are generally black and white characters, but they can be colorful too as per the demographics of the target audience. Also, the vectors must be designed keeping in mind the culture of the audience like their attire, facial features etc. You can make the text colorful and not the characters. It also depends on whether you are importing character images from outside the software because then you must search for black and white vector images.
Why are videos needed?
These days with so much increased competition in digital marketing attention spans have become low because everybody is releasing product videos. Hence, videos grab more attention when they include motion in them in the form of character or text animation etc. Videos must contain an element of novelty due to which they cast a better impression on learners. If you have made an incredibly perky animated video, then you can get your message across to the audience because our brain releases a chemical called oxytocin after watching it. When this chemical is released, we feel positive and relaxed and hence trust the concept explained in the video.
Break videos into modules
But the eLearning companies USA must ensure that such animation is broken down into episodes for an easier understanding. Each episode must be based on a topic where elements are introduced one after the other and logically so that there is storytelling in one episode. Such videos should also be accompanied by narration.
Take images from one graphic directory only
The companies should also ensure that there is consistency in such videos because so the images should be brought from a single place. Otherwise, don't be tempted to get the .Png images from various sources because they should have the same look and feel. The learners can have trouble remembering the last parts of the video if the graphics do not exude the same feeling.
Have a script
There should be a proper video script for which hiring a content writer is crucial because he can make sure that the video has a flow. It is also better that you take someone's feedback before delegating the script for video making. The input about the script can also be taken from the graphic designers and multimedia developers who will work on it.
Why don't some videos get attention?
It is also necessary that music is also made a part of such videos for them to be entertaining. There are so many videos that get uploaded on the internet through sites such as YouTube and Vimeo. But why do some fail to get so many views? It's because some of them are educational but not entertaining and vice versa. Since the proportion of visual learners has grown, companies that are not using such videos for marketing and education are losing a chunk of customers. Explainer videos are now the new phenomenon
There are multiple kinds of explainer videos that are used for teaching the target audience about how to use software:
Screencasts: A screencast video does not consist of whiteboard animation, although its introductory slides can be based on that. This kind of video introduces your learners to how to use certain software such as CRM (Customer Relationship Management) through screen capturing.
Character animation videos: Animated character video is also an explainer video, but it consists of whiteboard animation because it relies more on storytelling and does product advertising. In this kind of video, there is a description of the problem a prospect is facing and how a company's product or service can resolve their issues. These videos are excellent ways to make the target audience acquainted with the product because you arouse their interest in the video by starting with their issues.
2D motion graphics video: There is whiteboard animation and then there is a 2D motion graphics video which is used when selling a complex service like immigration, real estate advice. There is no character sketching on the screen, unlike the other animation-based videos. Instead, there can be a screen zooming on the important characters. Videos can also have voice-overs by characters because the authoring tools have a text-to-speech facility which can make them more compelling for the audience. But it is better to have background music in the case of whiteboard animation-based videos because they have text too.

Nigel Davies: The Queen?s Gambit Declined Exchange Variation - DVD
Hersteller: ChessBase
2009, DVD, englisch, Video running time: 4 h
The Queen's Gambit Declined Exchange Variation is one of the most important opening systems, having been played by most of the great players in history and from both sides of the board.
The most outstanding specialists in this method of play include Garry Kasparov, Mikhail Botvinnik and Samuel Reshevsky whilst the Black side has been championed by such notables as Anatoly Karpov, Boris Spassky and Paul Keres.
It is truly an opening of champions. Characterised by an early resolution of central tension, the asymmetrical pawn structure leads to a variety of plans and ideas for both sides.
One of the most traditional strategies for White is the minority attack which attempts to extend White's influence along the half open c-file.
There are also sharper plans available such as an advance of White's central pawn majority or even castling long and going for a pawn storm on the kingside. On this DVD Nigel Davies explains these strategies in detail through a series of instructive games. Armed with this understanding the viewer will then be able to play this opening with either colour and always know what plans are available.
Nigel Davies also shows how these plans can be used in openings with a similar pawn structure such as the Gruenfeld Defence and Caro-Kann, making this DVD valuable for those who would like to improve their knowledge of chess strategy in general.

From https://www.reddit.com/r/aznidentity/comments/7c0d8p/warm_dominant_eastasians_face_more_racist/
If you show traits of confidence and dominance as an Asian man you'll naturally make a lot of enemies just by being yourself – in the workforce and in the dating pool. Because you're a viable threat and competition vs the friendly subservient inferior underling which is what the white man prefers Asian men to be. Sadly most Asian men comply too.
The solution is for more Asians to create more powerful networks business networks and opportunities but sadly Asian culture only fosters good Model Minorities who end up working for the white bro and don't get promoted.
In the West there's a lack of Asian VC funds, old boys networks and Asians who have gone the entrepreneurial route in general. That may be the result of grooming workers instead of leaders as well as a lack of support and funding compared to whites.
I work and invest in a few private side startups myself and even in collaborative workspace settings you don't see enough Asians at least trying something independently. Not only that but some of the few Asians-Americans I know who got startups running had to go overseas back to Asia to develop their project further.
The lack of institutional support for Asians in the US is systemic throughout all professions because Asians are unwanted/picked last. Whether it's being shut out of partnership and influence in Silicon Valley/BigLaw/Big Finance or if you're working some regular 9-5 or if you're applying to a good school, be aware that nobody wants you and they'll only take you if they need you for their own gain.
The paths with the lowest odds of discrimination for Asian men in USA are either making it completely on your own without relying on any support/funding or being a doctor/surgeon in a vital medical field.
Asian-American identity is inherently powerless because it only fosters traits and values that produce grunt workers and second-class citizens below whites and this won't change until the identity is completely overhauled. By contrast, China and Asia started to finally taste a bit of power in recent years and the differences can already be seen. The days of Asian-Americans making fun of FOB's are over and done.
Excelling in top tier schools and white collar fields is not a viable path to prosperity for Asians in USA because the payout rewards are reserved for whites to take. None of the dozens or maybe even hundreds of Asians I know who pursued that path reached partnership or majority shareholder level in these fields. Those who made it were either already earmarked thanks to extremely powerful family connections (i.e. major bank clients) or defeated extremely rare odds in a system where this wasn't supposed to happen (i.e. just as rare as plain dumb luck).
Sadly Asian-Americans parents and society don't tell their kids that you can't win in a game that is rigged against you, thus letting them waste a lifetime of potential just so they can have some major name school or corporation on their resume once with not much else to show. The common plateau for high-achieving Asians is toiling around at mid-level earning a lower-end 6 figure salary at best.
Whether it's business, getting laid or fighting for a dignified representation in the media, Asian men in the West now have to decide whether they want to continue a marginalized existence or whether they want to acquire a conquering and winning mentality. Those in power have no interest or incentive to make concessions to Asians who ask for more acceptance and fairness. Can't blame them, why would they?
Yes, the "gay mafia" is strong in these high profile industries. It's an open secret that a lot of those who have worked in these fields are probably aware of because everyone gossips about it.
In terms of Gaysians, the common stereotype and power dynamic amongst Asian Americans is being the subservient bottom "rice queen" to white men – essentially the gay version of Anna Lu. I'd like to see more actually Asian gay men throw in their 2 cents around here.
From https://www.reddit.com/r/aznidentity/comments/96snds/brainstorm_thread_how_do_we_carry_out_effective/
What to do? Claim a larger stake in power institutions such as Hollywood, DC and Silicon Valley. That's it. Nothing less will do. Setting lower activism goals and standards won't suffice. This will likely require punching back, fighting fire with fire and smarter strategic positioning with a positive net gain in mind.
Professional financial traders who hedge against and adjust positions regularly for a living understand the latter analogy instantly. You have to offset the position of tolerant representation of steretypical AM's who are traditionally viewed as weak doormats and you have to offset the position of defending Asian feminist activist women who happen to be in WMAF relationships. In simple terms you have to add new strategies to offset 2 natural negatives no matter how well intentioned they are.
Instead of being bitter and supporting censorship of diverse viewpoints I would rather let all current positions speak their minds while adding new strategic trading legs to offset the incurred losses. Why do I favor this approach over outright banning? Because natural selection will eventually take care of thin-skinned censorists anyway no matter what they do or where their views fall on the political spectrum. Doesn't matter if they're black pilled misogynist basement incels or SJW PC activist incels when their stances and efforts are weak.
In the same vein a lot of dedicated Asian male activists are tempted every single day to cross the line and censor successful Asian men who overachieved in slaying common AM problems that they have failed to solve for themselves despite dedicating their entire lifetimes to it. On an academic-style grading scale the AM SJW PC activist gets an A for effort and a C-/D+ for delivered results while alpha/chad/bros get an F for effort and an A-/B+ for delivered results.
Adding insult to injury to these activists' efforts is the fact that some bros who embody the antithesis of the their principles regularly get to stick their dicks inside the same women that the activists' sought out to protect and cater to. That includes women who have actively posted on sub-reddits like this one on a regular basis.
The choices that even the most staunchly PC feminist POC BFF ally activist female members in these sub-reddits make still reflect the same natural selection patterns that even idiots can casually observe in society. Good luck to those who keep trying to go against nature I guess.
As of now you have visible activists that have literally been "censored-alt-right-c-word that rhymes with clucked" in their own space and they will continue to be"censored-alt-right-c-word that rhymes with clucked" by whoever as long as they try to hold on to the same net-losing position instead of choosing to improve and evolve.
To use your own analogy here banning the strong (i.e. slayers) is akin to pulling out the weeds only to see them grow and come back stronger. To finish the strong and the slayers IRL or on the internet you would need to find a solution akin to toxic glyphosate weed killers.
From https://www.reddit.com/r/AsianMasculinity/comments/8yfsa1/east_asians_completely_neglected/
Correct. Anglosphere has long conquered and colonized the east and if Asians want a better existence they have to turn the ship around and go from the conquered to the conquerors. That would entail reclaiming pride and dignity on our own land (i.e. punishing lowlife sexpats) and take over as much of "their" land, women and power structures as possible. That's what conquerors usually do.
While I don't see this turnaround happen on a collective scale anytime soon I do know individuals who do well in the sport of conquering already. Real estate/investment sharks and individual slayers etc.
From https://www.reddit.com/r/aznidentity/comments/8z518l/reminder_that_it_really_doesnt_matter_how/
Hardly any Asians are aware of the fact that they live under a system that is primarily built and designed for the benefit of WM and the interests of their penis.
In order for AM especially to enjoy a better existence than being a 2nd-rate citizen they would have to dismantle all the major institutional ruling structures and alter them for their own benefit. This would entail a long laundry list of things including but not limited to gaining a larger power stake in Hollywood, opening up more venture capital for Asian entrepreneurs, manipulating the dating market in our favor via media and pushing better dating apps that reduce racial bias etc. No single person can change it all unless you're a massive tycoon but everyone can pick their personal battles and chip in a bit here and there.
A lot of Asian-American activism you see these days is still weak and misguided because they're focused on calling out the ruling institutions for their misbehavior and then beg them to change and be charitable. Good luck with that. Even worse, most BFF SJW POC female allies would never consider AM's dateworthy in a million years even when they publicly support AM's for their self-interest. The worst example of this of course are the Asian female activists publicly speaking out in the media, all of whom date WM's.
Until AM's have viable support or activism to rely on they have no other choice but to take self-responsibility and make an effort to improve for themselves, especially in the looks/attractiveness department. Sad to say, most AM's still haven't put in sufficient effort for themselves yet to knock down the major looks hurdles which hold them back in every area of their daily lives. Once a larger core base of AM clears these hurdles we'll see a higher return of success in everything we do.
