Xin Lida, who was a dinosaur fan as a kid, became a researcher in paleontology. In 2011, he posted a live video about eating the frozen meat of a mammoth with one of his classmates on Weibo. Now, he is thinking whimsically about making dinosaur meals. Is this an ancient monster with horns on its head? No, this person, typical 'Sandwich-genetaion' guy, just became a father and has a 7-month-old baby.

Few days before the Spring Festival, Ji Shisan, the founder of the Songshuhui-Association of Science Communicators, posted a new book called Make dinosaurs into meals in the Nutshell Network. It seems that the book was quite interesting, so I called Ji Shisan to build up further connection with the author of the book, who was studying in the field of Paleontology in the Alberta University in Canada.
I researched in Baidu before getting the response and get the information titled with his name. To my surprise, he was also born in Chaozhou, Guangdong, and he was three years younger than me. I am so proud that my hometown is the hometown of so many talented people.
One year ag0, in February 12, 2011, Xin Lida's Japanese classmate brought him a meat of mammoth stored in the permafrost from Siberia. The meat of mammoth has a length about 8.7 centimeters and a width about 4.1 centimeters. It is really creative that he cooked the meat and ate it with his classmates, one from Japan and the other from France. They actually did it and posted a live video in the Weibo saying that "pan-firing it and putting salt on it when it was ripe.
The post was forwarded by many celebrities, and it is also reported by many medias. After swallowing the mammoth meat, the French classmate spited out, but Xin Lida was fine. The feeling of eating the meat is described in such way: "It tastes like wild boar, the taste is crude, and it even tastes a little bit like the sandy soil."
The dream about the paleontology has changed into the passion of working hard. As the person who also watched Koseidon, for Sandwich, the possibility of turning the dream in the childhood into a job in the reality is relatively small. However, Xin Lida did it. He had built up the first website about dinosaur when he was still in the middle school. Besides, he also emailed the professor in the field of dinosaur and got replication and suggestions from them Although he didn't choose the biology or archeology as his major in the college but chose the economics as his family wants. While the connection with dinosaurs cannot just be blotted out. After working for half year, he went to Zhonghua Dinosaur Park in Changzhou for research in dinosaur. Then he went to the school of Science and Technology in Chengdu and university in Canada for further study.
During the time he was in college, he became an active writer about popularize the knowledge about dinosaurs, publishing more than 20 kinds of books. In 2008, he joined the Songshuhui-Association of Science Communicators, and many readers noticed him about how humorous his articles are and how wonderful these stories are. It is a unique style that turning dinosaurs into human beings with their own characteristics.
For this interview, I had some short chat with Xin Lida by QQ, and the questions are mainly answered in e-mail. Although we haven't met each other face to face, but I can feel his nature of freedom and optimistic. Now, he has just become a father in his age of 29, and his wife understands how harsh his work is. He is always thinking about staying in the Greenland with his little baby.
And the last book Turning the dinosaurs into the food is quite different from the books he published before. This is a book talking about cooking. Since Xin Lida always regards himself as a eating-lover, he usually eat the delicious food in different places wherever he goes. Now he is using every kind of meat as the material to cook them into meals with the modern cooking methods. Actually, he still talks a lot about the dinosaurs when he was not cooking.
Q: How do you feel when turning your childhood dream into a real job?
A: It actually is natural to me since I have worked in this field for just ten years. Sometimes people may say that it was great to turning a childhood dream into a real jobs. That makes me smile (he pauses). Because I've always been like that, I've never had a distinction between job and hobby, and so I've never had the experience of my heart in a place and my mind in another. However, it's a bit early to speak of a career. I'm one of these people who follow their heart, and my original impetus holds in this word, 'fun'. Although I appreciate the value of my results, I thoroughly enjoy the difficulties of the process. Whether in the future I will head to an entirely different direction, that is yet unsure.
Q: What was the first time you get your impression of dinosaurs? Is it from the cartoon 'Koseidon'?
A: You can count 'Koseidon' as one, is a cartoon I watched when I was in elementary school or you can trace back to 'A hundred thousand questions' when I was in kindergarten, the book talks about dinosaurs and there was an illustration of a brontosaurus soaking in the water, it felt fascinated by the dinosaurs that time! I found it interesting looking at those long neck and tail. It might the dinosaur complex that every boy has.
Q: Your relation with the studies on dinosaurs, started from your email to Shi Long Tao who participated in the writing of the book 'A hundred thousand questions', Why did you have such courage and thoughts when you were in the town?
A: It was both interesting and "boring". I met a lot of nature enthusiasts all over the world by joining in the earliest natural community on the Internet. Mr.Tao already had a personal website, I was just going for an attempt, writing a letter, and I never expected to step into a new field.
Q: When you were 16, you created the first dinosaurs website in China 1998, what made you come to contact with Internet so early?
A: My family's expectation of me has no end. (Work Hard!) They made me recite poems, learn to play instruments, calligraphy, English, they made me very laborious, sometimes I defy their orders, because it wasn't fun. But when I was learning computer, I discover some fun games, the ones that I can remember includes, 'Virtual City', 'The Great Voyage2', the latter one was terrific! I cherish the memory of playing games at night; the days of discover new lands, fighting with pirates! In terms of dinosaur websites, I was doing for fun, having a personal website can have a good reputation. So I did it, I made it bigger because of my stubbornness.
Q: What was the influence of Internet when you were young? Do you see yourself as the one of the most popular boys?
A: I'm afraid I can't say I am on of the popular boys, Internet itself was nothing special, the most important thing is that you can have more friends, that is the real prosperity.
Q: You studied economy when you were in university, not biology, what was the reason? It is the influence of family or society?
A: Being a paleontologist or an explorer was my dream when I was young. However, I respect advices of my family, so I didn't sign up for that field of study. At that time, I felt that to accomplish romantic thoughts, I have to have good economy basis, Economy might be the best profession that makes money. (lol) At least business was easy that time.
Q: Why didn't you engage in business related to economy instead become a journalist?
A: Maybe it's because I am not sensitive to numbers, but to words and texts. I didn't stay long in the journalist company, but I've learn a lot, like I follow some professional reporter and I interviewed a lot of people, I learned a lot of skills of communication and interviewing, I also get engaged to Guangzhou at that time. Other than the simple of life of people at that time, a big city like this has some places that people are not aware of.
Q: Why didn't you continue to be a journalist, but decided to do research works in the Chinese national Dinosaur park. How did you get this opportunity?
A: They sent people to find me, they were true-hearted, because there wasn't a man who is specialized in Dinosaurs( there isn't any now), I didn't just have a personal website, I also published a dinosaur book, the selling was well, they might be thinking that I was in contact with dinosaurs, so they really liked me to join them.
Q: What reason made you go on and study of dinosaurs.
A: It was very interesting, my research started from 2007, because I was in the realm for a long time, I am very familiar with the procedures, so I researched a bunch of dinosaurs' footprints, my essay published quickly after the it went through examination. From that on, I often explore in the wild, do some traditional research procedure, from that I found that it was a wild study, fossils and ground beds need to be seen by eyes, not only by essays written by others.
Q: When you were doing research on dinosaurs in Canada, what did you feel was the difference with life back home?
A: The biggest difference is NorthAmerican paleontology boys, (there are not many girls), most of them really like dinosaurs. Some are from relief, and some are attracted by issued scientists. They might think that "a man should be like this", and study about it. So after Northern American graduate, most of them remain to be professional so that can stay in every museum; so many domestic people switch jobs. Another reason might be decided by economic problem.
Q: Please tell us about one or two interesting episode or details during your studies of dinosaurs.
A: In fact, it was quite deadening. Firstly, you need to find a sample, then arrange it, measure and write the first draft, then fix it and submit the writing. It might be accepted for publication if you are lucky. Then, rewrite for several times, then it would be published and you need to interview about it. You must persist in every piece! I might not perform today's plan. So just stop here and continue next time……
Q: How many times do you participate in excavating and prospecting dinosaurs? Where do these activities generally take place? Do you have any unforgettable memories or stories?
A: I don't count about that, so much! I stay outdoor at least seven months in a year so that there has a feeling of first love when I return home and see my wife. (smile) Activities often take place near the mountains and sea…… There are so many unforgettable events, (especially many interesting food), I often tells my friends about the events about resisting wild boar in the midnight, lose the way but still find more than ten dinosaurs, and so on. Then I suddenly recall about I accidently met Leonid meteor shower appeared at that camping at Gobi Desert in Subei. That's so awesome!
Q: Where can you generally find dinosaur remains?
A: The dinosaurs exist in nearly everywhere include China's provinces, but except for Taiwan and Hainan. Era of dinosaurs still is in the water. It is said dinosaur's eggs were found on nine steps down the street in the downtown area of Guangzhou.
A: If dinosaur remains are found during urbanization, do dinosaur experts have ability to protect them?
A: This kind of situation is not experienced currently. There is an indirect situation recently appeared near Shangdong Qingdao. 市区中间一个楼盘。地基挖出几百个上千恐龙足迹,由于开发商担心科考会延缓甚至阻挡开发,几天之内就用推土机平掉了。当地报纸在发现的次日报道过,没有引起注意。而当地博物馆去看过,居然没有拍照片。后来我和友人好辛苦好辛苦从开放商办公楼找到一块"纪念品",把对应的研究完成了,论文题目就叫做《中国华东的首例翼龙足迹,来自一处被"掩埋"的足迹化石点》。
Q: So the Chinese city councils or developers you've contacted are not currently aware enough of the need to preserve dinosaur remains?
A:恐龙遗迹开发好的话,有很大的政绩以及地方经济效应。目前,保护与开发比较好的有山东诸城,云南禄丰之类的。
Q:像常州的中华恐龙园走商业化的路子,是不是也间接传播了商业文化?
A:那首先要看怎么理解恐龙文化的。如果理解为猎奇,噱头,能吸引小孩。那么,是的。
如果理解为科学精神,不断更新,求证的事实或真相,那么我不觉得主题公园能带来什么。我理解,恐龙等古生物带给我们的不仅仅是它们本身的神秘,更重要的是其中蕴涵的科学精神:执着,奋进,质疑。这是最重要的。科学精神是共通的。但没有一门学科能像恐龙这样,有这么好的亲民性,能从小孩子开始培养的亲民性。
Q: 你另外一个重要身份是科普作家,而且是高产作家。你对好的科普作品的个人理解是什么?
A:这个问题可能松鼠会的松鼠们更有资格回答,我没有怎么考虑过。我个人的理解,好的科普作品,除了科学要正,首先就是要让人能看完。这是我写作的原则。不过,我自己肯拿起来的自己的作品,目前也不过一两本,所以我会继续努力的。
Q: You've just published a book called 'dinosaur for dinner'. We could see that as some 'cross-pollination', bringing together paleontology and gastronomy – how did you come with this idea?
A: That's very interesting! But I won't tell you. (In fact, it's written at the front and back of the book!) 参见:《"吃货"的终极盛宴》
Q: Can you tell us a bit more about the book?
A:我可以告诉你,这本书其实一个吃货的大爆发。你告诉我,当你看到暴龙那浴盆大的脚爪时,如果奇妙发生,幻化成一个巨大的凤爪!Would that not be life-changing?
Q: Are you a foodie yourself? What's your favourite dish?
A: Sure I am! (I haven't had such a firm answer for a long time). I'm willing to try anything! My favourite thing is seafood – all sorts of seafood!
Q: You've been living overseas for a while, do you miss Chinese specialties?
A: I really miss Chinese food, 怀念鲁、川、粤、闽、苏、浙、湘、徽八大菜系,怀念潮州菜。可是平时因为太忙,只能吃照烧牛肉、红烧牛肉、咖喱牛肉、海鲜、猪骨浓汤、味噌汤、烧鸡、鸡蓉……好吧,客官,你到底要哪个口味的方便面?
Q: What's your feeling towards your hometown of Chaozhou?
A:我对"小"的东西都有偏爱,潮州就好小,好萌。然后大家都认识,这种感觉棒极了!现在回忆起来,那份安静祥和,书香门第,夜市小吃,都是这辈子最美好的艳遇。
Q: Compared to your classmates, do you think your path is very different?
A: I'm not in touch with my classmates a lot, but I guess they find my path a bit atypical. 很神奇就估计说不上。说不定就像看猴子一样(大笑)。
Q:所以你感觉并不太好?
A: (laughs) If I really cared about the feelings of others so much, I wouldn't be where I am now. But I don't know exactly what my classmates are thinking. We've got very little contact, we've gone in different directions, we don't have much language in common, and all that's left is a few childhood memories.
Q: Do your parents understand and support you?
A:他们多半时候不理解,但依然支持(这就是爱啊……)。我可能还不止读一个学位。除了恐龙,还要读一个科学史,或者一个西方古典。我读书就是为了玩,更好的玩而已。我还在加拿大本地餐厅打工炒过干炒牛河。那也是为了体验生活。
Q: Last year, you became a father yourself, and now you're indeed a sandwich generation – has that changed things for you?
A: Actually, I haven't really prepared much to become a father, I'm like a child myself (my classmates all call me 'little dinosaur boy'…), but my impressions are changing. My main feeling now is that my son is growing really fast! And his daddy's gonna take him on a world of adventures! (Also, I won't force him to study what he doesn't want to, and even kindergarten, if he doesn't want to go, he won't).
Q: What's your plan for the coming years?
A:我可以告诉你我的计划,我是计划帝。不过做到与否就不好说了(摊手)。重要的计划是完成我的长篇小说,这也是我自己自小以来一个很大的梦想。然后我会不断在北极地区体验,时间可能有长短,但次数可以弥补。想象一下,睫毛结冰,鼻毛冻断,然后哼哧哼哧追着猎物的场面,是不是碉堡了!?
Q: After so many years studying dinosaurs, what are the differences and similarities with dinosaurs as you imagined them as a child?
A: In fact, I'm rather 'disappointed': dinosaurs are becoming more and more bird-like, they're all covered in feathers, and look just like a big ostrich or a giant chicken, that's not quite mighty enough (starts laughing). The thing I most enjoy is that I'm able to witness how fast the discipline is changing, and this really satisfies my own curious heart (laughs).

For this interview, I had some short chat with Xin Lida by QQ, and the questions are mainly answered in e-mail. Although we haven't met each other face to face, but I can feel his nature of freedom and optimistic. Now, he has just become a father in his age of 29, and his wife understands how harsh his work is. He is always thinking about staying in the Greenland with his little baby.

Q: How do you feel when turning your childhood dream into a real job?

Q: How do you feel when turning your childhood dream into a real job?

A: It actually is natural to me since I have worked in this field for just ten years. Sometimes people may say that it was great to turning a childhood dream into a real jobs. That makes me smile (he pauses). Because I've always been like that, I've never had a distinction between job and hobby, and so I've never had the experience of my heart in a place and my mind in another. However, it's a bit early to speak of a career. I'm one of these people who follow their heart, and my original impetus holds in this word, 'fun'. Although I appreciate the value of my results, I thoroughly enjoy the difficulties of the process. Whether in the future I will head to an entirely different direction, that is yet unsure.

A: It was both interesting and "boring". I met a lot of nature enthusiasts all over the world by joining in the earliest natural community on the Internet. Mr.Tao already had a personal website, I was just going for an attempt, writing a letter, and I never expected to step into a new field.

A: My family's expectation of me has no end. (Work Hard!) They made me recite poems, learn to play instruments, calligraphy, English, they made me very laborious, sometimes I defy their orders, because it wasn't fun.

A: Being a paleontologist or an explorer was my dream when I was young. However, I respect advices of my family, so I didn't sign up for that field of study. At that time, I felt that to accomplish romantic thoughts, I have to have good economy basis, Economy might be the best profession that makes money. (lol) At least business was easy that time.

Q: Why didn't you engage in business related to economy instead become a journalist?

Q: Why didn't you engage in business related to economy instead become a journalist?

A: Maybe it's because I am not sensitive to numbers, but to words and texts. I didn't stay long in the journalist company, but I've learn a lot, like I follow some professional reporter and I interviewed a lot of people, I learned a lot of skills of communication and interviewing, I also get engaged to Guangzhou at that time. Other than the simple of life of people at that time, a big city like this has some places that people are not aware of.

Q: Why didn't you continue to be a journalist, but decided to do research works in the Chinese national Dinosaur park. How did you get this opportunity?

Q: Why didn't you continue to be a journalist, but decided to do research works in the Chinese national Dinosaur park. How did you get this opportunity?

A: They sent people to find me, they were true-hearted, because there wasn't a man who is specialized in Dinosaurs( there isn't any now), I didn't just have a personal website, I also published a dinosaur book, the selling was well, they might be thinking that I was in contact with dinosaurs, so they really liked me to join them.

Q: What reason made you go on and study of dinosaurs.

Q: What reason made you go on and study of dinosaurs.

A: It was very interesting, my research started from 2007, because I was in the realm for a long time, I am very familiar with the procedures, so I researched a bunch of dinosaurs' footprints, my essay published quickly after the it went through examination. From that on, I often explore in the wild, do some traditional research procedure, from that I found that it was a wild study, fossils and ground beds need to be seen by eyes, not only by essays written by others.

Q: When you were doing research on dinosaurs in Canada, what did you feel was the difference with life back home?

Q: When you were doing research on dinosaurs in Canada, what did you feel was the difference with life back home?

A: The biggest difference is NorthAmerican paleontology boys, (there are not many girls), most of them really like dinosaurs. Some are from relief, and some are attracted by issued scientists. They might think that "a man should be like this", and study about it. So after Northern American graduate, most of them remain to be professional so that can stay in every museum; so many domestic people switch jobs. Another reason might be decided by economic problem.

Q: Please tell us about one or two interesting episode or details during your studies of dinosaurs.

Q: Please tell us about one or two interesting episode or details during your studies of dinosaurs.

A: In fact, it was quite deadening. Firstly, you need to find a sample, then arrange it, measure and write the first draft, then fix it and submit the writing. It might be accepted for publication if you are lucky. Then, rewrite for several times, then it would be published and you need to interview about it. You must persist in every piece! I might not perform today's plan. So just stop here and continue next time……

Q: How many times do you participate in excavating and prospecting dinosaurs? Where do these activities generally take place? Do you have any unforgettable memories or stories?

Q: How many times do you participate in excavating and prospecting dinosaurs? Where do these activities generally take place? Do you have any unforgettable memories or stories?

A: I don't count about that, so much! I stay outdoor at least seven months in a year so that there has a feeling of first love when I return home and see my wife. (smile) Activities often take place near the mountains and sea…… There are so many unforgettable events, (especially many interesting food), I often tells my friends about the events about resisting wild boar in the midnight, lose the way but still find more than ten dinosaurs, and so on. Then I suddenly recall about I accidently met Leonid meteor shower appeared at that camping at Gobi Desert in Subei. That's so awesome!

Q: Where can you generally find dinosaur remains?

Q: Where can you generally find dinosaur remains?

A: The dinosaurs exist in nearly everywhere include China's provinces, but except for Taiwan and Hainan. Era of dinosaurs still is in the water. It is said dinosaur's eggs were found on nine steps down the street in the downtown area of Guangzhou.

A: If dinosaur remains are found during urbanization, do dinosaur experts have ability to protect them?

A: If dinosaur remains are found during urbanization, do dinosaur experts have ability to protect them?

A: This kind of situation is not experienced currently. There is an indirect situation recently appeared near Shangdong Qingdao. 市区中间一个楼盘。地基挖出几百个上千恐龙足迹,由于开发商担心科考会延缓甚至阻挡开发,几天之内就用推土机平掉了。当地报纸在发现的次日报道过,没有引起注意。而当地博物馆去看过,居然没有拍照片。后来我和友人好辛苦好辛苦从开放商办公楼找到一块"纪念品",把对应的研究完成了,论文题目就叫做《中国华东的首例翼龙足迹,来自一处被"掩埋"的足迹化石点》。

A: This kind of situation is not experienced currently. There is an indirect situation recently appeared near Shangdong Qingdao, in a downtown property. When they dug the foundations, they discovered hundreds of dinosaur footprints, but because the construction team feared it might slow down the works, they bulldozed everything flat. The local newspapers reported the news the next day, but it went unnoticed. The local museum went to have a look, but no photographs had been taken. Later, a friend and I went to the commercial office and made great efforts to find a 'souvenir', completed the study, and called the paper 'East China's first Pterosaurus footprints is a 'buried' footprint'.

Q: So the Chinese city councils or developers you've contacted are not currently aware enough of the need to preserve dinosaur remains?

Q: So the Chinese city councils or developers you've contacted are not currently aware enough of the need to preserve dinosaur remains?

A:恐龙遗迹开发好的话,有很大的政绩以及地方经济效应。目前,保护与开发比较好的有山东诸城,云南禄丰之类的。

Q:像常州的中华恐龙园走商业化的路子,是不是也间接传播了商业文化?

A:那首先要看怎么理解恐龙文化的。如果理解为猎奇,噱头,能吸引小孩。那么,是的。

A: If dinosaur remains are managed well, there can be high levels of return on local economy. Currently, that's the case in Zhufeng, Shandong, and Lufeng in Yunnan.

如果理解为科学精神,不断更新,求证的事实或真相,那么我不觉得主题公园能带来什么。我理解,恐龙等古生物带给我们的不仅仅是它们本身的神秘,更重要的是其中蕴涵的科学精神:执着,奋进,质疑。这是最重要的。科学精神是共通的。但没有一门学科能像恐龙这样,有这么好的亲民性,能从小孩子开始培养的亲民性。

Q: Isn't there a possibility for commercialisation too, as in the case of the dinosaur park in Changzhou?

Q: 你另外一个重要身份是科普作家,而且是高产作家。你对好的科普作品的个人理解是什么?

A:这个问题可能松鼠会的松鼠们更有资格回答,我没有怎么考虑过。我个人的理解,好的科普作品,除了科学要正,首先就是要让人能看完。这是我写作的原则。不过,我自己肯拿起来的自己的作品,目前也不过一两本,所以我会继续努力的。

A: First, we need to look at how dinosaur culture is interpreted. If it is a novelty, a gimmick to attract children, then yes.

If you understand it with a scientific spirit, with constant updates, where facts and truths are verified, then I don't think theme parks can bring that. As I understand, the study of dinosaurs and paleontology doesn't only cast light on their mystery, more important are implications for the scientific spirit: persistence, progress, curiosity. This is the most important. The scientific spirit is something we share. But there is no discipline that offers the same thing as dinosaurs, with such good nature, allowing to cultivate interest from childhood.

Q: Another aspect of your professional identity is that of a science writer, and a prolific one at that. What do you think makes for good science writing?

A: I think the people writing on 'Song Shu' science network may be more qualified than me to answer. I haven't particulalry thought about it. From my personal understanding, the mark of good science writing, in addition to the science being right, is that people are able to read the whole thing. This is my core principle when I write. However, I've started to work on my own projects, one or two books at the moment, so I'll keep on making efforts.

Q: You've just published a book called 'dinosaur for dinner'. We could see that as some 'cross-pollination', bringing together paleontology and gastronomy - how did you come with this idea?

A: That's very interesting! But I won't tell you. (In fact, it's written at the front and back of the book!) 参见:《"吃货"的终极盛宴》

A: That's very interesting! But I won't tell you. (In fact, it's written at the front and back of the book!) See: 'Good eating - the ultimate feast'

Q: Can you tell us a bit more about the book?

Q: Can you tell us a bit more about the book?

A:我可以告诉你,这本书其实一个吃货的大爆发。你告诉我,当你看到暴龙那浴盆大的脚爪时,如果奇妙发生,幻化成一个巨大的凤爪!Would that not be life-changing?

A: I can tell you that the book is bursting with good things to eat. You tell me, imagine the big paw of the tyrannosaurus Rex magically turning into a chicken leg! Would that not be life-changing?

Q: Are you a foodie yourself? What's your favourite dish?

Q: Are you a foodie yourself? What's your favourite dish?

A: Sure I am! (I haven't had such a firm answer for a long time). I'm willing to try anything! My favourite thing is seafood - all sorts of seafood!

Q: You've been living overseas for a while, do you miss Chinese specialties?

Q: You've been living overseas for a while, do you miss Chinese specialties?

A: I really miss Chinese food, 怀念鲁、川、粤、闽、苏、浙、湘、徽八大菜系,怀念潮州菜。可是平时因为太忙,只能吃照烧牛肉、红烧牛肉、咖喱牛肉、海鲜、猪骨浓汤、味噌汤、烧鸡、鸡蓉……好吧,客官,你到底要哪个口味的方便面?

A: I really miss Chinese food, I miss all the eight major cuisines, Shandong, Sichuan, Cantonese, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejian, Hunan, and I miss the dishes from Chaozhou. But I'm usually too busy, I can only eat Teriyaki beek, braised beef, curry beef, seafood, pork bone soup, miso soup, chicken - hey - it's all "boss, what type of instant noodle would you like"?

Q: What's your feeling towards your hometown of Chaozhou?

Q: What's your feeling towards your hometown of Chaozhou?

A:我对"小"的东西都有偏爱,潮州就好小,好萌。然后大家都认识,这种感觉棒极了!现在回忆起来,那份安静祥和,书香门第,夜市小吃,都是这辈子最美好的艳遇。

A: I really like 'small' things, Chaozhou is very small, it's very cute. We all know how great this feeling is! When I look back on it now, this quiet and peace, serious book reading, snacks at night markets, these are the best adventures I've had in this life.

Q: Compared to your classmates, do you think your path is very different?

Q: Compared to your classmates, do you think your path is very different?

A: I'm not in touch with my classmates a lot, but I guess they find my path a bit atypical. I can't say if they find it very magical, or worthy. Maybe it's like looking at a monkey (laughs loud).

A: I'm not in touch with my classmates a lot, but I guess they find my path a bit atypical. 很神奇就估计说不上。说不定就像看猴子一样(大笑)。

Q: So you don't feel too good about it?

Q:所以你感觉并不太好?

A: (laughs) If I really cared about the feelings of others so much, I wouldn't be where I am now. But I don't know exactly what my classmates are thinking. We've got very little contact, we've gone in different directions, we don't have much language in common, and all that's left is a few childhood memories.

Q: Do your parents understand and support you?

Q: Do your parents understand and support you?

A:他们多半时候不理解,但依然支持(这就是爱啊……)。我可能还不止读一个学位。除了恐龙,还要读一个科学史,或者一个西方古典。我读书就是为了玩,更好的玩而已。我还在加拿大本地餐厅打工炒过干炒牛河。那也是为了体验生活。

A: Most of the time, they don't understand, but they still support me (that's love for you!). I'm not satisfied with just one subject. Apart from dinosaurs, I also want to study the history of science, and Western classics. I'm studying for fun, the more the better. I've also worked in a steakhouse in Canada. That was also a way of experiencing life.

Q: Last year, you became a father yourself, and now you're indeed a sandwich generation - has that changed things for you?

Q: Last year, you became a father yourself, and now you're indeed a sandwich generation - has that changed things for you?

A: Actually, I haven't really prepared much to become a father, I'm like a child myself (my classmates all call me 'little dinosaur boy'...), but my impressions are changing. My main feeling now is that my son is growing really fast! And his daddy's gonna take him on a world of adventures! (Also, I won't force him to study what he doesn't want to, and even kindergarten, if he doesn't want to go, he won't).

Q: What's your plan for the coming years?

Q: What's your plan for the coming years?

A:我可以告诉你我的计划,我是计划帝。不过做到与否就不好说了(摊手)。重要的计划是完成我的长篇小说,这也是我自己自小以来一个很大的梦想。然后我会不断在北极地区体验,时间可能有长短,但次数可以弥补。想象一下,睫毛结冰,鼻毛冻断,然后哼哧哼哧追着猎物的场面,是不是碉堡了!?

A: I can tell you everything about my plans, I'm a planning king! But whether I'm going to make them happen or not, that's unsure (he extends his hands). An important plan is to finish my novel, this has been a big dream since my childhood. Then, I will continue to explore the Arctic, maybe for shorter periods, but then more often to make up for it. Imagine, your eyelashes and your nose and freezing, and then poom, poom, you spot on a hunting scene, isn't that the coolest thing!?

Q: After so many years studying dinosaurs, what are the differences and similarities with dinosaurs as you imagined them as a child?

Q: After so many years studying dinosaurs, what are the differences and similarities with dinosaurs as you imagined them as a child?

A: In fact, I'm rather 'disappointed': dinosaurs are becoming more and more bird-like, they're all covered in feathers, and look just like a big ostrich or a giant chicken, that's not quite mighty enough (starts laughing). The thing I most enjoy is that I'm able to witness how fast the discipline is changing, and this really satisfies my own curious heart (laughs).

On Wednesday, September 28th, we kicked off our Get Lit events for the fall with a light event at NE Weidler and N. Williams, where there are several bike lanes that merge and cross paths, with several lanes of traffic on both streets. Last year, the City of Portland made some bike lane improvements at this intersection, with a sidewalk cut in at the intersection, which allows bicycles to essentially line up on Williams to head North.
We were set up by dusk at 6:30pm, with 100 sets of lights, one staff and seven volunteers. We set up signs, blinking lights and we were prepared with screw drivers and surveys. Before we could even grab some lights, we had a line of 5 unlit cyclists waiting to get lit. The flow continued for the next hour and a half. We installed lights on 62 unlit cyclists, making the roads safer for everyone.
We had some great conversations, met some folks who had bought bikes at our shop, and had a chance to talk to Central City Concern residents and staff, since we were staged on the sidewalk in front of their Madrona Studios apartments. The event ended around 8pm, once the bicycle traffic had slowed to a trickle. We loaded the supplies back up into our cargo bike and headed back to the shop, eager for another random act of safety at another intersection in the future.

Nasrat Parsa, född 22 februari 1969 i Kabul, Afghanistan, död 8 maj 2005 i Vancouver, Kanada, var en sångare från Afghanistan.

Parsa upptäckes i en direktsändning från Radio Kabul när han var fem år gammal. Han flyttade till Pakistan med sina föräldrar som tolvårig och senare till Indien där han studerade musik.

Han spelade in sin första skiva, Laanai-e-Eshq, år 1989 efter att familjen hade emigrerat till Frankfurt i Tyskland och har totalt spelat in 10 CD-skivor.

Pasra var en av Afghanistans mest populära artister och reste världen runt med sin blandning av västerländsk och traditionell sydasiatisk musik. Han var vid sin död på en månadslång turné i Kanada. Han avled den 8 maj 2005 efter att ha knuffats nedför en trappa efter en konsert i Vancouver.

Q: Converting a floating-point decimal value to a fraction Given a decimal floating-point value, how can you find its fractional equivalent/approximation? For example:
as_fraction(0.1) -> 1/10
as_fraction(0.333333) -> 1/3
as_fraction(514.0/37.0) -> 514/37

Is there a general algorithm that can convert a decimal number to fractional form? How can this be implemented simply and efficiently in C++?

A: #include <iostream>
#include <valarray>

using namespace std;

void as_fraction(double number, int cycles = 10, double precision = 5e-4){
    int sign  = number > 0 ? 1 : -1;
    number = number * sign; //abs(number);
    double new_number,whole_part;
    double decimal_part =  number - (int)number;
    int counter = 0;

    valarray<double> vec_1{double((int) number), 1}, vec_2{1,0}, temporary;

    while(decimal_part > precision & counter < cycles){
        new_number = 1 / decimal_part;
        whole_part = (int) new_number;

        temporary = vec_1;
        vec_1 = whole_part * vec_1 + vec_2;
        vec_2 = temporary;

        decimal_part = new_number - whole_part;
        counter += 1;
    }
    cout<<"x: "<< number <<"\tFraction: " << sign * vec_1[0]<<'/'<< vec_1[1]<<endl;
}

int main()
{
    as_fraction(3.142857);
    as_fraction(0.1);
    as_fraction(0.333333);
    as_fraction(514.0/37.0);
    as_fraction(1.17171717);
    as_fraction(-1.17);
}

x: 3.14286      Fraction: 22/7
x: 0.1          Fraction: 1/10
x: 0.333333     Fraction: 1/3
x: 13.8919      Fraction: 514/37
x: 1.17172      Fraction: 116/99
x: 1.17         Fraction: -117/100

Sometimes you would want to approximate the decimal, without needing the equivalence. Eg pi=3.14159 is approximated as 22/7 or 355/113. We could use the cycles argument to obtain these:
as_fraction(3.14159, 1);
as_fraction(3.14159, 2);
as_fraction(3.14159, 3);

x: 3.14159      Fraction: 22/7
x: 3.14159      Fraction: 333/106
x: 3.14159      Fraction: 355/113

A: First get the fractional part and then take the gcd. Use the Euclidean algorithm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclidean_algorithm
void foo(double input)
{
    double integral = std::floor(input);
    double frac = input - integral;

    const long precision = 1000000000; // This is the accuracy.

    long gcd_ = gcd(round(frac * precision), precision);

    long denominator = precision / gcd_;
    long numerator = round(frac * precision) / gcd_;

    std::cout << integral << " + ";
    std::cout << numerator << " / " << denominator << std::endl;
}

long gcd(long a, long b)
{
    if (a == 0)
        return b;
    else if (b == 0)
        return a;

    if (a < b)
        return gcd(a, b % a);
    else
        return gcd(b, a % b);
}

A: (Too long for a comment.)

Some comments claim that this is not possible. But I am of a contrary opinion.

I am of the opinion that it is possible in the right interpretation, but it is too easy to misstate the question or misunderstand the answer.
The question posed here is to find rational approximation(s) to a given floating point value.
This is certainly possible since floating point formats used in C++ can only store rational values, most often in the form of sign/mantissa/exponent. Taking IEEE-754 single precision format as an example (to keep the numbers simpler), 0.333 is stored as 1499698695241728 * 2^(-52). That is equivalent to the fraction 1499698695241728 / 2^52 whose convergents provide increasingly accurate approximations, all the way up to the original value: 1/3, 333/1000, 77590/233003, 5586813/16777216.
Two points of note here.

*

*For a variable float x = 0.333; the best rational approximation is not necessarily 333 / 1000, since the stored value is not exactly 0.333 but rather 0.333000004291534423828125 because of the limited precision of the internal representation of floating points.

*Once assigned, a floating point value has no memory of where it came from, or whether the source code had it defined as float x = 0.333; vs. float x = 0.333000004; because both of those values have the same internal representation. This is why the (related, but different) problem of separating a string representation of a number (for example, a user-entered value) into integer and fractional parts cannot be solved by first converting to floating point then running floating point calculations on the converted value.

[ EDIT ]   Following is the step-by-step detail of the 0.333f example.

*

*The code to convert a float to an exact fraction.

#include <cfloat>
#include <cmath>
#include <limits>
#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

void flo2frac(float val, unsigned long long* num, unsigned long long* den, int* pwr)
{
    float mul = std::powf(FLT_RADIX, FLT_MANT_DIG);
    *den = (unsigned long long)mul;
    *num = (unsigned long long)(std::frexp(val, pwr) * mul);
    pwr -= FLT_MANT_DIG;
}

void cout_flo2frac(float val)
{
    unsigned long long num, den; int pwr;
    flo2frac(val, &num, &den, &pwr);

    std::cout.precision(std::numeric_limits<float>::max_digits10);
    std::cout << val << " = " << num << " / " << den << " * " << FLT_RADIX << "^(" << pwr << ")" << std::endl;
}

int main()
{
    cout_flo2frac(0.333f);
}

*Output.

0.333000004 = 11173626 / 16777216 * 2^(-1)

*This gives the rational representation of float val = 0.333f; as 5586813/16777216.

*What remains to be done is determine the convergents of the exact fraction, which can be done using integer calculations, only. The end result is (courtesy WA):
0, 1/3, 333/1000, 77590/233003, 5586813/16777216

A: I came up with an algorithm for this problem, but I think it is too lengthy and can be accomplished with less lines of code. Sorry about the poor indentation it is hard trying to align everything on overflow.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// converts the string half of the inputed decimal number into numerical values void converting
 (string decimalNumber, float&numerator, float& denominator )

 { float number; string valueAfterPoint =decimalNumber.substr(decimalNumber.find("."    ((decimalNumber.length() -1) )); // store the value after the decimal into a valueAfterPoint

int length = valueAfterPoint.length(); //stores the length of the value after the decimal point into length

numerator = atof(valueAfterPoint.c_str()); // converts the string type decimal number into a float value and stores it into the numerator

// loop increases the decimal value of the numerator by multiples of ten as long as the length is above zero of the decimal

for (; length > 0; length--)
    numerator *= 10;

do
 denominator *=10;
  while  (denominator < numerator);

// simplifies the the converted values of the numerator and denominator into simpler values for          an easier to read output

void simplifying (float& numerator, float& denominator) { int maximumNumber = 9; //Numbers in the tenths place can only range from zero to nine so the maximum number for a position in a position for the decimal number will be nine

bool isDivisble; // is used as a checker to verify whether the value of the numerator has the       found the dividing number that will a value of zero
 // Will check to see if the numerator divided denominator is will equal to zero

   if(int(numerator) % int(denominator) == 0) {
   numerator /= denominator;
   denominator = 1;
   return; }

  //check to see if the maximum number is greater than the denominator to simplify to lowest     form while (maximumNumber < denominator) { maximumNumber *=10;  }

 // the maximum number loops from nine to zero. This conditions stops if the function isDivisible is true
 for(; maximumNumber > 0;maximumNumber --){

 isDivisble = ((int(numerator) % maximumNumber == 0) && int(denominator)% maximumNumber == 0);

  if(isDivisble)
 {
    numerator /= maximumNumber;  // when is divisible true numerator be devided by the max        number value for example 25/5 = numerator = 5

   denominator /= maximumNumber; //// when is divisible true denominator be devided by themax        number value for example 100/5 = denominator = 20

 }

 // stop value if numerator and denominator is lower than 17 than it is at the lowest value
 int stop = numerator + denominator;

 if (stop < 17)
 {
     return;
 } } }

You can call this like:
auto [n, d] { to_fraction<int8_t>(-124.777f) };

And you get n=-124, d=1;
auto [n, d] { to_fraction<uint64_t>(.33333333333333) };

gives n=6004799503160601, d=18014398509481984

Video Shows AP Photographer Attacked By Capitol Hill Rioters Accusing Him Of Being Antifa
BY Jorge Rodriguez-Jimenez | January 8, 2021 AT 9:54 am

Americans watched in horror as Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building on Jan. 6. As the dust settles, we are seeing more of the chaos including the attack on journalists who were there doing their jobs when the mob turned violent.
Associated Press photographer John Minchillo was attacked by Trump supporters on Jan. 6.
A post shared by Julio Cortez (@julythephotoguy)
Video taken by his colleague Julio Cortez shows Minchillo being violently pushed and pulled around by the angry mob. The video is a jarring reminder of the physical manifestation of the attack on the free press. President Trump has routinely singled out the media at his rallies and has celebrated violence against the press.
You can hear Cortez pleading with the crowd to stop attacking Minchillo.
Wow. This video of the Trump mob attacking Associated Press photographer John Minchillo is just horrific.
(Video by @JulioCortez_AP via Instagram: https://t.co/GlO07Uj4fz) pic.twitter.com/P8QJwd7tsB
— Parker Molloy (@ParkerMolloy) January 8, 2021
You can hear people in the crowd shouting, "Get the f-ck out of here." The people in the crowd grab at Minchillo and he is quickly surrounded by 5 to 6 people who are shoving and pulling him to get him out of the crowd using violence.
"Thankfully, he wasn't injured," Cortez worte in his Instagram post. "He was labeled as an anti protesters (sic), even though he kept flashing his press credentials, and one person can be heard threatening to kill him. This is an unedited, real life situation of a member of the press keeping his cool even though he was being attacked. A true professional and a great teammate, I'm glad we were able to get away."
Journalists are highlighting the video to show what it can be like to cover Trump events as press.
This video of AP photographer @johnminchillo at the protest yesterday is insane. He was dragged out and nearly lynched. This should be seen by everyone. https://t.co/55DHNh8twh @pressfreedom
— Danny Gold (@DGisSERIOUS) January 8, 2021
President Trump has a long history of attacking and belittling journalist while president. He has also launched attacks on the credibility of the press by calling major media outlets fake news. His supporters echo many of these claims when they are confronted by media or turn on the media at his events.
The National Association of Hispanic Journalists is calling for a full investigation into the attack.
This video is horrifying. The assault of journalist should not be tolerated or celebrated. I too commend @johnminchillo & @JulioCortez_AP for their professionalism & courage amid this chaos. This should absolutely be investigated @DCPoliceDept @CapitolPolice @NAHJ @NAHJ_NYC https://t.co/GkeygjPpXZ
— Nadia Galindo (@NadiaGalindoTV) January 8, 2021
Fellow journalists are calling for authorities to investigate what happened in that moment. The Capitol police were there when Minchillo was attacked yet nothing was done to protect the AP photographer as the crowd grew violent.
People are sharing screengrabs to start identifying the instigators.

The internet has made it hard to hide when you do something wrong. Not to mention that wearing a mask to follow Covid health guidelines would have covered their faces. There are rumors that the same people who mounted their failed coup on Jan. 6 are planning another attack on the Capitol on Jan. 19.

After a group of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol Jan. 6, people immediately started identifying the intruders. Videos have been circulating and people are steadily contacting the FBI to expose them. Instagram page @homegrownterrorists is one of the leading forces in identifying the rioters.
On Jan. 6, people stormed our Capitol building and the American people are demanding justice.
A post shared by Identify Homegrown Terrorists (@homegrownterrorists)
Images of people storming the Capitol building and looting the offices of members of Congress startled people around the world. One of the safest places in the world was overrun by far-right Trump supporters attacking the democratic process. Americans are demanding justice and working together to identify and report as many people to the FBI that were at the Capitol.
The Instagram page is unapologetically encouraging followers to identify people at the Capitol.
Five people died as a result of the riot, two of them were police officers. The Instagram page, run anonymously, is encouraging people to share the photos to their stories to increase the reach. The account might not have any legal power, but it is having some success. There has been more than one person identified through the IG page that has led to people losing jobs and being arrested by the FBI.
The account has disappeared multiple times but always comes back.
The mystery person running the account has expressed concern over their safety. The account has been suspended by Instagram after being reported by multiple people. There has even been some talk about them receiving threats of violence via DMs.
The person who runs the account has mentioned it randomly on their stories but with no real detail. According to recent stories, the person behind the account doesn't want to antagonize the people sending threats.
The owner of the account did say that they have been contacted by Instagram about the account.
A tweet from HomeGrownTerrorists caught Instagram's attention and the account was reinstated. However, there was a backup account to keep functioning in case the original got deleted. IG and the account owner reached an agreement where they get to keep the main account and the backup account was permanently banned. No questions asked.
If you want to help or be connected to the cause, you can follow this page on Instagram.
There are a lot of people left to identify and the nation's law enforcement is bracing for more violence. Capitols in all 50 states are on alert for possible attacks and the National Guard is being mobilized in big numbers for the inauguration. We are not out of the woods when it comes to the threats that have been made.

As the nation still struggles to come to grip with the horrific events that took place at the Capitol on last Wednesday, the aftermath of the debacle threatens to be just as horrifying as the event itself.
Videos are still continuing to pop up of unhinged far-right Trump supporters making public spectacles of themselves. But one such video became viral when the target of their hate refused to lie back and take it.
Recently, a video went viral of Democratic California Congressman Lou Correa being harassed by a crowd of Trump supporters right after the storming of the Capitol.

The incident took place at the Washington Dulles International Airport right outside of D.C. Based on the location and the timing, its safe to assume that these enraged Trump supporters were part of the insurrectionist mob that stormed the Capitol.
In the video, we see Rep. Correa defend himself against an irate mob who is getting in his face and hurling vitriolic insults at him.
Videos if the confrontation were posted by various right-wing social media pages, ostensibly trying to "expose" Correa for standing up for himself.
The title of their video was "Lou Correa Exposed", but they exposed themselves to be a bunch of bullies
— CynicalCapricorn (@CynicCapricorn) January 12, 2021
The video begins with various Trump supporters raving to Correa about "communist China" and "antifa". When Correa explains that he was in Washington, D.C. to defend democracy, one of the Trump supporters tells him that the U.S. "isn't a democracy, it's a republic."
The video then shows a large, deep-voiced many getting in Correa's face and bellowing "Who are you?" and calling Correa a "F–ker". Off screen, another man yells at Correa: "Nobody here voted for you. We don't want you," to which Correa responds: "That's okay! 70% of people in my district did."
In the face of such hatred, Correa held his own, refusing to be cowed by a group of bullies who recently showed themselves to be no better than terrorists.
In various interviews since the video went viral, Correa described the events that led up to the incident.

Correa told The OC Register that he had had roughly 15 minutes of sleep the night before after having stay up late to ratify the electoral votes after the process was interrupted by an angry mob.
He says he turned the corner to head towards his gate when the angry Trump-supporters recognized him as a lawmaker. "They picked me out, and boy, they came at me," he told CNN.
Correa added that he was "surprised" at how "brazen" the hecklers were.
"They started lobbing all kinds of statements and just getting in my face, and I wouldn't back off," he said to the Register. "It was a situation where they were amped up and I have no idea why they came at me. Then I was surrounded by them and I stood my ground."
But Correa, who was born in East LA and spent much of his youth in Mexico, says that he wasn't intimidated by the bullies.
In the same interview with the Register, Correa described himself as from "the hood" and said that he is used to having angry citizens confront him for one reason or another. But this incident was unlike anything he's ever experienced.
"I've never seen our nation so divided," he said. "I'm OK with people coming up and expressing their anger and what have you. It's another thing when people go out of their way to surround you and go after you."

Will the IRS Postpone the Tax Deadline? Politicians and Tax Preparers Demand an Extension

'False Claims and Buried Disclosures': FTC Says TurboTax Tricks People Into Thinking They Can File for Free
States Want to Pause Gas Taxes to Give Drivers Relief at the Pump

UPDATE: The IRS announced Wednesday that the federal filing deadline has been moved to May 17.
"This continues to be a tough time for many people, and the IRS wants to continue to do everything possible to help taxpayers navigate the unusual circumstances related to the pandemic, while also working on important tax administration responsibilities," IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said in a news release.
With tax season in full swing and a new round of stimulus checks on deck, a growing chorus of legislators and industry leaders is pushing the IRS to postpone Tax Day for the second year in a row.
The federal income tax filing deadline is set, as it more or less has been since 1955, for April 15. That's when taxes are due. The issue is that in 2020, the IRS moved the date to July 15 due to the coronavirus outbreak. Now, people want the 2021 deadline to be extended, too.
Rep. Richard Neal, the chairman of the House Ways and Committee, teamed up with Rep. Bill Pascrell on Monday to demand the IRS delay Tax Day.
"We stand in the midst of the most important tax filing season in recent memory, and taxpayers cannot get the help they need from the IRS," the Democrats said in a statement. "Facing enormous strain and anxiety, taxpayers need flexibility now."

They went on to say that although a lot of time has passed since the pandemic began stateside, taxpayers "continue to face the same health and economic challenges that necessitated an extension" last year. The situation is only going to get more complicated now that the American Rescue Plan has been signed into law. Not only does it change the rules around unemployment benefits on people's 2020 taxes, but it also approves a third round of stimulus checks — which the IRS is responsible for distributing.
Mark W. Everson, who served as IRS commissioner from 2003 to 2007, says the IRS has done a great job sending out millions of stimulus payments so far. But the agency's main duty is to handle taxes.
Moving the deadline again — while IRS employees are still dealing with a backlog of paper returns from 2020 — could complicate matters and overwhelm the agency. As it stands, the IRS doesn't even have enough customer service reps to answer all the incoming calls it gets.
"The service wants to respect the normal deadline and keep its work in proper sequencing," Everson, now the vice chairman of alliantgroup, says.
Then again, consumers can't be overlooked, either.
The Ways and Means statement is notable because its Oversight Subcommittee, of which Pascrell is chairman, oversees the IRS. It also follows a similar call from the American Institute of CPAs, which sent a letter to the IRS last week requesting a postponement. AICPA said "it is simply not possible for many taxpayers and their tax advisers" to meet their obligations by April 15.

AICPA went so far as to suggest a specific date: June 15. (Though the tax filing deadline was moved to July 15 in 2020, AICPA said it would pose problems for states this year.)
Everson says the messages coming from Congress and AICPA "are quite clear."
"It's totally appropriate for the IRS to be looking at this question from the point of view of tax administration and efficiencies, but it also needs to balance that with the fairness argument the chairman of Ways and Means is making," he adds.
Will the IRS tax deadline be extended?
The IRS did not return Money's request for comment. But current IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig said in February there were no plans to extend the deadline, adding that it "it creates a lot of confusion for taxpayers" and "backs up" the IRS.
Bill Smith, a managing director for CBIZ MHM's National Tax Office, points to Rettig's remarks as evidence the date won't be moved. He also says this year's filing season doesn't pose the same problems as last year's did.
"There's a lot going on, but don't expect them to put off the April 15 filing deadline," Smith adds.
Regardless, if you need more time to do your taxes, you can always request an extension. This typically delays your filing deadline to Oct. 15. But remember: If you owe the government money, you still have to pay on time.
This story has been updated to reflect that President Joe Biden signed the American Rescue Plan into law.

Pokémon-inspired MMO TemTem has a playable alpha if you pre-order soon
By Wes Fenlon 2019-07-05T17:56:02Z
Catch it now, or wait for the next round.
Temtem, which we described as looking "as close to a Pokémon MMO as legally possible" last year, has been moving along after a successful Kickstarter. The developers recently opened the door to more players (and more money) with an alpha for everyone who pre-orders the game. But there's a catch: those pre-orders are only available for a very limited time.
"Preorder Temtem on the Discord store within the next two weeks and get instant access to the on-going Alpha," the TemTem team posted on June 25. If plans haven't changed, that means pre-orders will shut down on July 9, and you'll have to wait for them to open things back up again. It's $35 to buy in via Discord.
Judging by the frequency of Kickstarter updates, Temtem seems to be progressing well, and this is actually tier 2 of its alpha release. Temtem's creatures now have innate traits and can be equipped with gear, there's a whole character creation system and cosmetics for your trainer—er, tamer. Players can also trade amongst themselves.
Here's the caveat from the developers that this version, alpha 0.2, is a long way from final:
"The Alpha is NOT a finished game, and it's very far away from being one. This is a super early in development version of the game and its main objective is to help make Temtem better in the long run. As such, this version is very limited in content, features and balance. You're expected to find bugs and work-in-progress content. You should adjust your expectations having all these in mind. Please be aware that all progress in the Alpha can and will be wiped at any given time. No progress in the Alpha will be migrated to the final game."


There are over 180,000 auto body and glass repair technicians in the U.S., and most find their profession to be highly-rewarding. But due to the nature of their work, collision repair professionals are oftentimes exposed to potentially unhealthy and dangerous workplace conditions. As customers we only see the transformative outcomes produced by body shop technicians and not the behind-the-scenes, daily physical hazards they face. In an effort to safeguard their workers, reputable body shops create safer work environments using numerous health and safety measures. Most are mandated by the Federal Government's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), while others are just plain common sense. Here are a few of the more important safety precautions auto body shops use to protect their technicians.
Body shop professionals routinely work with fillers, solvents, paints, primers and polishes while prepping and painting a car's exterior. Repair jobs also require a lot of sanding and metal grinding. All these processes produce dust, vapors and fumes that contain harmful chemicals, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), that can damage a technician's lungs, skin and eyes. As a result, the painting and finishing is done in special spray booths that meet strict ventilation standards. Technicians also wear protective clothing to shield their eyes and skin, and use oxygen-supplied respirators so they won't breathe the airborne chemicals produced during surface preparation and painting. If a paint spill occurs, technicians are directed to promptly wipe it up to avoid accidents.
If you've ever been around a body shop, you know how loud the mechanical sounds can be. Now picture a technician who works in that noise level every day. Grinders, sanders, lifts, sprayers, compressors and other tools of the trade are constantly in use, generating loud noises that put auto body professionals at risk for hearing loss. To protect their ears technicians are required to don earplugs or earmuffs while out in the shop area.
According to OSHA, roughly 30 percent of all workplace accidents in the U.S. are related to slips and falls. Within a body shop setting, spilled grease, paint and other liquids on the floor create potential hazards, along with tools that were not properly put away after use. Technicians know that a tidy work area is a safer one, and are instructed to clean up spills immediately, stow away their tools when not in use, and to also wear shoes with non-slip soles for added traction.
Auto body and glass technicians routinely work with compressors, sprayers, winches, pulling chains, lifts and other types of heavy equipment. Most contain moveable parts like gears, sprockets and belts which can result in bodily harm if the proper safety precautions are not followed. When accidents strike it's easy for a collision repair professional to sustain cuts, crushed hands and feet, broken digits, burns and other injuries from the mechanical tools they're using. As a precaution, prudent shops require their technicians to wear protective clothing, shoes, gloves and headgear to safeguard their bodies from mechanical injuries.
Reputable auto body and glass repair shop owners and managers understand the potential workplace risks posed to their technicians and have implemented health and safety precautions to protect them. They've put in place safeguards, whether OSHA-mandated or not, to ensure that their workers enjoy safer, healthier and happier careers while getting your vehicle restored like new again. Lower on-the-job injury rates also lead to higher shop productivity. And from a customer's perspective, a cleaner and tidier shop just simply looks more professional and efficient.
