乔布斯手写求职信以NFT结合实物被高价拍卖，NFT真有这么好吗

据外媒报道，近日由已故苹果联合创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯（Steve Jobs），在18岁时手写的一份罕见的求职申请书，以NFT版本与纸质版本在拍卖会上售出。其中纸质版的出价和成交金额远远高于作为NFT出售的数字版本。

According to foreign media reports, a rare job application handwritten by the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs at the age of 18 was sold at auction in NFT and paper versions. . The bid and transaction amount of the paper version is much higher than the digital version sold as NFT.

这场拍卖会的组织者奥利·乔希（Olly Joshi）称，这场拍卖活动“是为了凸显当今时代人们感知价值的转变——实体的或数字的。”他还补充道，这可以打开一个全新的收藏品市场，让两种形式共存。

Olly Joshi, the organizer of the auction, said that the auction was “to highlight the shift in people’s perception of value in this era either inphysical or digital.” He added that this can open up a brand-new collectibles market which allows two forms to coexist.

这份由乔布斯在1973年填写的求职信，NFT形式托管于Rarible，纸质版实物则与软件公司Snoofa合作进行。纸质版与NFT版本在本周三的拍卖会上，分别以价值34.3万美元的ETH和2.3万美元售出。

This cover letter, which was filled out by Jobs in 1973, was hosted in Rarible in NFT form, and the paper version was carried out in cooperation with the software company Snoofa. The paper version and the NFT version were sold at the auction this Wednesday for 343,000 U.S. dollars worth of ETH and 23,000 U.S. dollars.

NFT再次被推上风口浪尖。有人禁不住问，NFT真有这么好吗？

NFT was once again pushed to the forefront. Some people can't help asking, is NFT so good?

在7月25日举办的“2021世界区块链大会·杭州”大会上，SOLV协议创始人孟岩发表演讲《NFT——价值互联网的未来》。他说，“未来的价值互联网主要是建立在非匀质通证NFT上，NFT是比FT更优秀的数字价值载体，也是价值互联网必然趋势，基于 NFT 的价值互联网仍需要大量基础设施创新。”

At the " Hangzhou 2021 World Blockchain Conference" held on July 25, Meng Yan, the founder of the SOLV protocol, delivered a speech "NFT-The Future of the Internet of Value". He said, “The future Internet of Value is mainly based on the non-homogeneous token NFT. NFT is a digital value carrier that is better than FT, and it is also an inevitable trend of the Internet of Value. The Internet of Value based on NFT still requires a lot of infrastructure innovation.”

本周三，Twitter在第三方数字资产交易平台Rarible上发布了7款不同的NFT，并表示将向感兴趣的用户送出每款NFT的20个版本。Twitter发言人表示，Twitter不会出售这些数字图片，也不会从中收费。

On Wednesday, Twitter released 7 different NFTs on the third-party digital asset trading platform Rarible, and stated that it will send 20 versions of each NFT to interested users. A Twitter spokesperson said that Twitter will not sell or charge for these digital images.

由此，twitter也开启了NFT的大门。

As a result, twitter has also opened the door to NFT.

从NFT接过DeFi热潮之后，在音乐、游戏、艺术等领域均有不俗表现，许多收藏家纷纷加入到数字资产收藏领域中来，因此越来越多的企业嗅到商机，也紧接着推出不同领域的NFT项目，甚至结合DeFi市场，试图激起更大的浪��。

After taking over the DeFi boom from NFT, it has performed well in the fields of music, games, and art. Many collectors have joined the field of digital asset collection. Therefore, more companies see business opportunities in it, and they have launched NFT projects in different fields. They even combined the DeFi market to try to stir up a bigger wave.

NFT究竟有何魅力呢？

What is the charm of NFT?

在区块链中，NFT是利用保存在区块链上的证书来确保艺术作品的真实性，NFT是不可变且有保证的数字资产，具有独一无二且不可分割的特性。

In the blockchain, NFT is the use of certificates stored on the blockchain to ensure the authenticity of works of art. NFT is an immutable and guaranteed digital asset with a unique and indivisible characteristics.

另一方面，NFT 具有高流动性，可随时交易以及鉴别，独一无二的艺术创作使其具备收藏属性，加密处理使得其难以复制仿造，最终成就了它的稀缺和价值。

On the other hand, NFT has high liquidity and can be traded and identified at any time. Its unique artistic creation makes it possess the attributes of collection. Encryption processing will make it difficult to copy and counterfeit. Thus, ultimately achieving its scarcity and value.

当然在很多人眼里，NFT可能只是一段“乱码”，是虚拟的，但随着现实生活中越来越多的实物以NFT形式呈现，直到实现万物皆可NFT，它的价值也在以不同的形式被赋予。就像孟岩说的，未来的价值互联网将建立在NFT上。

Of course, in the eyes of many people, NFT may be just a piece of "garbled", which is virtual. However, as more physical objects are presented in the form of NFT in real life, until everything can be realized as NFT, its valuewill also be given in different forms. As Meng Yan said, the future Internet of Value will be built on NFT.

[cicadagaze]

behold! more sparklecats!

some info on them under the cut :]

Inkstreak is a HauntClan warrior, and currently the youngest (at only a little over a year old)! he's a bit quiet, but he's a fantastic hunter. they also have pretty big dreams and they hope they'll be important enough to have their skull kept after they die (that's a HauntClan thing. yeah, they're disturbing like that)

Frogpurr is one of the HauntClan elders, they're around 11 years old. they're pretty frail, have failing vision and hearing, and they're also often physically ill, but somehow they're still kickin! she's a very beloved clan member, and she's just everyone's parent tbh. they're the actual parent of Acidbite tho!

Fawnsky is one of MythClan's menders! he's the oldest mender (there's currently two menders and one mender apprentice), and he's around 10 and a half years old. he was originally a warrior apprentice, but when the whole Parsleymoon shit went down and MythClan was left without a mender, he decided to switch over to become the next mender. he used to be very energetic, but in his old age, he's definitely slowed down a lot. now he spends most of his time teasing younger cats

Cloudrush is one of VeilClan's menders, and he's probably the oldest cat in all the clans at almost 14 years old. he was Parsleymoon's bestie, and still misses him dearly :( after the whole Parsleymoon shit went down, he's actually the one who trained up Fawnsky to be the next mender! despite his age, he's still doing pretty well, albeit losing some of his hearing. and half blind, but that was due to injury, not due to age. I love this man to death <3

Rosecreek is MythClan's current deputy! she's around 4 years and is Poisonsoul's second deputy. she's the quiet and regal type, but she's very good at her job and she's not afraid to put cats in their place if she has to. her back leg was born twisted like that, and she cannot put weight on it at all. but it never stopped her from achieving her goals, and she will definitely be the next leader :]

Shiverpaw and Frostpaw are VeilClan apprentices, both about 7 moons. they're siblings, and were born to two kittypets, tho one of their parents was actually a former VeilClan warrior!

Frostpaw pretty quickly decided that they did Not like the kittypet life, and so they ran off to go join their one parent's former clan. they're quick-tempered but eager to learn, tho they really hate their mentor, Iriswillow </3 it's they/them on they/them violence. Frostpaw just thinks Iriswillow is too chill. their warrior name will be Frostsnarl!

Shiverpaw honestly is terrified outside of the comfort of her former home, but she wanted to stay with Frostpaw, hence, she followed them. she's a bit of a crybaby and not very good at fighting, but she's proven to be pretty decent at hunting! clan life is definitely not easy for her, but she refuses to leave her sibling, so she won't leave. despite Frostpaw's attitude, the two are actually very close! her warrior name will be Shiversight!

Drizzlemoon is a RuneClan queen, and Moonkit, Shadekit and Ripplekit are her kits. she's around 2 years and this is her second litter. she's a very sweet lady who treats all kits like they're her own. she'll likely be like Ferncloud and have a lot of litters because she just really loves raising kits. I imagine eventually she'll just decide to stay in the nursery as a permanent queen.

as mentioned, Moonkit is one of Drizzlemoon's kits, she and her brothers are all almost 3 moons old. she's the most energetic and is always tackling her brothers or otherwise getting into trouble. she's a kit you can't really take your eyes off of because she can and Will cause mischief. she was named after her mom because of how similar they look, and her warrior name will either be Moonpounce or Moonsplash!

Shadekit is probably the second most energetic, but mostly in his curiosity and impulsive nature. he loves running around camp and exploring and he's probably the most impatient to become a warrior. him and Ripplekit are VERY close. he unfortunately does not make it to a warrior, and dies as an apprentice :( but I think his warrior name probably would've been Shadestorm or Shadewing

Ripplekit is the calmest of the three, and he really only runs around to follow Shadekit. whatever Shadekit does, he does too. he's got big dreams, but at the same time, he's not so sure about growing up. him and Shadekit probably visit the elders a lot to listen to stories. he's also a HUGE mama's boy and loves her very, very much. if I were to write some books on these Clans, Ripplekit would be one of the protagonists! his warrior name will be Rippleshade, after his brother

You know, you’re not stuck here. If you hate it- I kinda am. Stuck. After Cloudrush, I was out of the workforce for a whole year. That’s a huge gap on my resume, and I couldn’t exactly add an item for planning wedding of the century.

Althea sits in her office, talking to herself. Althea: Just keep it humming, Althea. Your work doesn’t matter, and you’ll never leave your mark here or anywhere else in Silicon Valley, but at least you have nice, comfy nap pods and lattes on tap! Thanks, Gwen. Dennis walks into the room, behind her. Althea: I love feeling like it’s all about money and I’m just wasting my life here. Dennis: Um... Althea turns around. Dennis: Thought you might be hungry, I brought takeout. Althea laughs. Althea: You’re perfect. And I’ve completely lost my mind!]

Rewriting The CW's Kung Fu, Part 6: Act II

We're nearly to the end, but if you're somehow seeing this before any of the previous posts, you can find them here:

Part 1: The Characters

Part 2: The Pilot

Part 3: The Mythology

Part 4: The Story Map

Part 5: Act I

If you've read all that, I am hoping that you've gotten to know Nicky enough that you're willing to ride along for the next part of her journey. Because we're going to the territory that the show actually covered (with a few rewrites, of course): the hunt for the mystical weapons.

Episode 6: Bond

We start this episode with Nicky reeling over two revelations: one, that Althea is a survivor of sexual harassment, and two, that Zhi-Lan is her dead mentor's sister. But she's going to focus first on what's more important: her own family. Nicky tells Althea that she will be there to support her whatever Althea decides to do. Althea admits that she doesn't know yet--

When Dennis tells Althea that his family's been invited to a gala at the museum for a loaned Chinese exhibit, Althea also finds out that her former boss at Cloudrush Capital will be in attendance--as a donor. Althea asks Nicky and Ryan to come with her for support--but Ryan has hospital duties. So Nicky asks Henry to accompany them instead.

At the house, Ryan can feel that there's tension between him and Mei-Li. He thinks it's because he's gay--until he realizes that his parents don't actually know that he had come out when he stood with Joe (in the last episode). Ryan explains to Jin and Mei-Li that the reason he only had one girlfriend, who quickly dumped him, is because he is gay. Jin and Mei-Li are speechless. Mei-Li walks out, uncertain of how to act. Jin, trying and failing to be supportive, just taps Ryan on the shoulder.

At the museum, Henry recognizes one of the weapons on display. It's one of the eight mystical weapons. But when he is about to point it out to Nicky, the latter had already left him. Because Nicky spotted Zhi-Lan at the gala. She is about to follow Zhi-Lan when she sees Althea having a panic attack upon seeing her former boss. Nicky weighs her options, but chooses to stay with Althea instead.

With Althea calmed down, Nicky tells Henry that Zhi-Lan is at the gala. Henry figures out that Zhi-Lan is there for the weapon, explaining to Nicky that one of the eight fabled weapons that he mentioned to her before is part of the loaned exhibit. He takes her to the still-closed exhibit--and they catch two crooks trying to steal the weapon. They get into a fight with the crooks. They win. But when they turn to the display case, the weapon is gone.

Nicky sees Zhi-Lan making her way out of the museum. In a hurry. Nicky chases after her. The get into a fight and Nicky is holding her own against Zhi-Lan, thanks to her different training with Henry. But something is holding her back: her need to understand how Zhi-Lan could kill Pei-Ling. Which she asks Zhi-Lan point blank during a stand-off. Zhi-Lan is taken aback for a second before quickly recovering, saying she lost her sister when she was a kid. That the woman she killed at the monastery was of no relation to her. Zhi-Lan manages to knock Nicky down before getting away. Henry and Althea find Nicky and get her home.

Althea and Henry bring Nicky to the community center where Ryan is cleaning her wounds. Nicky explains that the woman she fought with was the woman who killed her mentor at the monastery. Henry explains that the woman, Zhi-Lan, is probably collecting the eight mystical weapons from folklore. According to legend, bringing the eight together and taking them back to where they were forged would grant the collector untold power. Nicky whispers, "Bian-Ge." Althea frowns. "Change?" Ryan is concerned. "Transformation." But Nicky doubts that that Zhi-Lan can find all eight weapons soon. It took her three years before she found the longsword, and she probably only lucked out with her second weapon because it was included in the exhibit advertisement. Nicky is more worried about Althea.

Nicky remembers a memory of her time at the monastery, when Pei-Ling told her about important decisions having a lot of weight. How she lost people she loved because she chose to honor what she believed is right. In the memory, Pei-Ling tells Nicky that time has a way of giving them clarity on what they should've done. But during a moment of crisis, all they can do is trust that their heart is in the right place.

In the present time, Althea tells Nicky that she doesn't think she has the courage to speak up. Not yet. Nicky understands. They all have their own pace when it comes to dealing with problems. She ran away for three years. Althea notes that Nicky is back now, that she's facing her problems now. Nicky hugs her sister, saying: "and you will face your problems too. When you're ready."

Nicky and Henry are targeted by the goons they fought at the museum. They think the two have the weapon that was stolen from the museum. Nicky and Henry get into another fight with the goons. This time, when they defeat the goons, Nicky calls Evan for police help.

Althea talks to her former colleague who wants to speak up against their ex-boss. Althea apologizes and says she cannot come out. Not right now. But she is willing to talk to whoever she needs to talk to. Under anonymity. To save those they can still save. The woman thanks Althea.

At the house, Ryan tells Nicky that he's moving out of the house. Nicky apologizes for not being there when he came out to their parents. Ryan tells Nicky that he didn't need her there after all. But he will need her moving forward. To watch over their parents with him out of the house, to keep him updated, and to still be there for him when he calls. Nicky promises. They hug. Ryan leaves.

Jin sees Mei-Li pulling out an old shoe box. Something he hasn't seen in years. It contains an old photo of Mei-Li...with her sister Mei-Xue. She tells Jin that she swore she wouldn't be like her mother. But why does it feel like she's doing what her mother had done too? Pushing her own children away?

Evan visits Nicky at Happy Dumplings to talk about the goons she and Henry stopped at the museum. Nicky tells Evan that she knows who the goons are working for "Zhang Zhi-Lan." Nicky reminds Evan that he was the one with the info on her connection with the Triad. Evan shakes his head, telling Nicky that they were bailed out by a business owned by a Raymond Tan. This makes Nicky think. Is there another party interested in the weapons?

We will have a mini-reveal here of Henry's apartment. It has a map of the world with markings. Photos of the eight weapons that have strings tying them to locations where they have been sighted. It seems that Henry is keeping a secret from Nicky.

Episode 7: Rage

In this episode, Nicky and Henry work together when one of Henry's students at the community center ask for their help. A friend of his has gotten involved with a dojo that cons their trainees into taking part in an underground fight club. The student shows them footage of the fight, which is a bloody affair, and Henry spots a pair of deer-horn knives in the decor that he tells Nicky later are among the mystical weapons.

Henry's first course of action is to go straight for the source--only to get injured by the guy in charge of the dojo. This leaves Nicky as their only viable way to get into the fight club.

Throughout the course of the story, Nicky remembers moments from the monastery where Pei-Ling teaches her how to use an opponent's emotions against them. Even sharing a story where a loved one got the better of her because she felt overwhelming concern while they were sparring. This is what Nicky will use to win the fight.

To get into the fight club, Nicky borrows money from Althea--which Dennis finds out about. When Nicky explains what's going on, Dennis is all in with helping out, saying he believes in helping the helpless--even when they look like they can take him down. Which gives Althea the idea that Dennis might be okay knowing her secret too. Ryan's in charge of putting first aid on Nicky afterwards, to keep her crime-fighting life a secret from their parents.

Meanwhile, Evan tries to investigate Raymond Tan, wanting to know why a business of his is employing thugs and goons. He gets caught by Raymond's son, Kerwin, who becomes curious about his father's non-business affairs.

Jin tries to reach out to Ryan, apologizing for his and Mei-Li's non-reactions to his coming out. While Ryan is appreciative, he doesn't want to move back in. He's better now, living with Joe.

At Althea's apartment, Ryan and Dennis have set up a laptop to find out what's going on at the fight club. They root for Nicky to go through a tournament so she could face off with the underground operation's main boss.

While Nicky is fighting, Henry goes about a second operation--to take the deer-horn knives from the dojo. In the ring, Nicky imagines Pei-Ling beside her. Cheering her on while she faces different people with different strengths. Telling her that the strengths and weaknesses are both important--because one person's weakness can also be used as their own strength, like how Nicky's small build can allow her to hit lower or drive more power in her hits.

At Althea's apartment, Mei-Li visits wanting her daughter to help with getting Ryan to move back in. Only to catch the livestream of Nicky's fight. Seeing Nicky in action. This makes Mei-Li back away and run. Althea and Ryan become worried.

When Althea and Dennis are left alone, Althea decides to tell Dennis about her experience at Cloudrush. At first Dennis is angry, he wants to strangle Althea's ex-boss himself. But after calming down, Dennis tells Althea that her secret doesn't change the way he feels about her.

The episode ends with Nicky winning the tournament. Henry getting the knives--and evidence that would help shut down the dojo front of the fight ring, preventing them from recruiting more fighters. But when Nicky gets home, Mei-Li is waiting for her. "I saw what you did. At that martial arts tournament." Nicky is perturbed. "That's not the life I wanted for you. But I feel like I pushed you into doing that. Like I pushed your brother into leaving our house. I don't want to push my children away, Nicky. So I'm no longer going to meddle in your lives. Go back to who you wanted to be before I sent you on that arranged-marriage trip three years ago. Get back together with Evan. Go back to law school. Just, please: stop fighting." This leaves Nicky speechless.

Episode 8: Silence

Happy Dumplings is in trouble. A lawsuit has been filed against the restaurant for discriminating against disabled people. Nicky is immediately able to prove that it's a fraudulent lawsuit designed to shakedown store owners who can't speak in English fluently--but unlike Happy Dumplings, other Chinese businesses in the neighborhood don't have former law school students under their roofs.

Mei-Li encourages Nicky to work with Evan to find out out what's going on with the fraudulent lawsuits, hoping that it will keep Nicky out of the warrior way. Jin confronts his wife with regards to her pushing Nicky towards Evan, when Henry is already helping their daughter move on. Mei-Li tells Jin the truth: she saw Nicky fighting people to save someone. She's scared for their daughter. Jin is confused. What's wrong with having a daughter who knows and is willing to defend others? Mei-Li decides to tell Jin the truth. (Off-screen, because there's a revelation--and it helps story-wise if we find out about it with the main character.)

While Nicky and Evan are busy canvassing the businesses in Chinatown that have received a lawsuit, they get assistance from Ryan and Joe--the latter of whom is working with the San Francisco Disability and Aging Services. None of the lawsuits can stand in court, but some of the business owners have already paid up, wanting to keep their head down and not rock the boat. Nicky and Evan trace the lawsuits back to Triad connections. Evan tells Nicky they need to get the police involved. Nicky, angry at Asians knocking down other Asians, thinks it's time to take measures into their own hands.

With Nicky busy with the fraudulent lawsuits, Henry heads back to Professor Chau's office to find out why he hasn't heard back. He learns that the professor still hasn't returned--so he breaks into the office to take a manuscript that was on loan to the professor. While inside the office, he finds a puzzle box that has a connection to the mystical weapons. He takes it too.

Meanwhile, Althea is roped into a family dinner night with Dennis's family. The dinner gets awkward when Dennis's father brings up the news about Althea's co-worker speaking up about sexual harassment in Cloudrush. Dennis is about to stand up for Althea's co-worker when his mother says the woman is probably just trying to shakedown the boss into giving her money or a higher position. Althea defends her co-worker. Dennis and his sister Chloe sides with Althea. But Mr and Mrs Soong tell them that they're just idealistic. They've had experience with people who use social justice just to get a leg up in the business. That not every victim is a real victim. This forces Althea to speak her truth. That she was a victim too. She just didn't want to say anything because she feared people won't believe her. And she feared right. She walks out. Dennis follows her against his parents' wishes.

Nicky almost gets in trouble with the Triad, but Evan is there to back her up. He tells her that he will lose his job if they find out what he's doing, and Nicky says that they're helping people--what's wrong with that? They discover that the Triad is now being run by the former boss's son, with the previous head still being in prison. Nicky wants to know why they're shaking down the Asian business owners. The new boss reasons that those business owners benefited from his father's protection for many years--and they turn their back on him when he needed them the most. Nicky tells him that his dad is a jerk who took advantage of people. "And you're worse because you're using important fights to your own gains--which makes it harder for people who are legitimately fighting for their rights to be heard." Nicky lays the smack down on the new boss of the Triad and his men. Evan points to Nicky everything the police will need to shut down the new Triad operations because he has to leave before the cavalry arrives.

Nicky, Althea, and Ryan get together to compare their days. Althea tells her siblings that Dennis's family now knows about her secret. And Dennis is standing by her. But she doesn't know if she has the courage to actually go public with the truth. Ryan breaks the news that he's going to be living on his own for the first time ever, as Joe has accepted a gig that would take him out of San Francisco for a month, because of the work they had done against the fraudulent lawsuits. And Nicky tells them how easy it was for her and Evan to return to their groove. Which makes her a little torn now, because she thinks she has feelings for Henry...but she still has feelings for Evan too.

At the district attorney's office, Evan gets a visit from Sabine. She shows him CCTV footage of Henry breaking into Professor Chau's office. She tells Evan that she's worried that Nicky might have fallen in with the wrong crowd.

And at the end of the episode, Henry brings the puzzle box he stole to Nicky. Nicky recognizes it as having the same puzzle as Pei-Ling's safe at the monastery. She opens the box. There's a jade key inside. And this is when Mei-Li and Jin arrive. Jin tells Nicky that Mei-Li has something important to tell her. Mei-Li sees the jade key in Henry's hand and tells him that he might as well hear what she has to say too. Their family comes from a lineage believed to be descended from a great warrior called Liang Dai-Yu. Mei-Li turns to Nicky: this belief already cost her a sister. She doesn't want to lose a daughter too. She pleads with Nicky; "you can build the life you want, and I won't argue. But please don't follow in my sister's footsteps. Please don't follow the warrior's destiny."

Episode 9: Isolation

In the last episode of this arc, Nicky wants to find out what happened to the aunt she never knew about. Mei-Li gives her all of Mei-Xue's letters and postcards, and notes that the last postcard came twenty-one years ago. Looking at the postcard, Nicky sees an odd red panda mascot. She searches for it on the internet with Althea's help, and they find out that it's in Canada. In a small town near Vancouver. Nicky invites Henry to go with her to look for Mei-Xue. Mei-Li wants to stop Nicky, but Jin tells her that they have to let Nicky see this through. Maybe meeting Mei-Xue will give her the clarity she needs.

Evan meets with Ryan at the community center, looking for Nicky. Ryan tells him that Nicky and Henry went on a road trip to Canada. Evan is alarmed. Ryan asks if Evan's jealous of Henry. Evan says it's more than that. He believes that Nicky is in jeopardy with Henry. This worries Ryan, so he calls in favors to cover his hospital shifts--as well as his shifts at the community center. He and Evan leave to follow Nicky to Canada.

While on the road, Henry takes Nicky to an old friend--who turns out to be a very sketchy person. Nicky begins to see Henry in a new light, and not a good one. When the old friend sells them out to someone who has it in for Henry, he and Nicky have to fight to get out of there. Henry apologizes to Nicky, and he starts to open up about his past.

Meanwhile, Althea gets targeted by the lawyers of Cloudrush Capital. They want her to sign a non-disclosure agreement for everything that happened to her at the company. Althea refuses. They threaten her career. Althea refuses to sign. This makes her want to stand up against her former boss even more. But first she needs to talk to her parents.

In Vancouver, Evan and Ryan are searching for Nicky. Mei-Li tells them that Nicky was looking for a small town with a red racoon mascot. Evan and Ryan drive towards the only town they could find on Google with red panda mascot and sees that Nicky and Henry have just arrived. Evan is about to accost Henry when Nicky sees the red panda statue from her aunt's last postcard.

After a bit of asking around, Nicky finds Duke--the artist who sculpted the Red Panda--and finds out that he knows Mei-Xue. Duke invites Nicky and Ryan out back to talk about Mei-Xue, leaving Evan and Henry alone. Evan quickly accuses Henry of not being true to Nicky. He shows Henry photos from the cctv footage that caught Henry stealing from Professor Chau's office. Henry tells Evan he can explain. When Nicky returns. But when they realize that they can't hear Nicky, Ryan, or Duke anymore, the two quickly head to the back of the Duke's house--but there's no one there.

Nicky and Ryan are following Duke on a trail. When they reach a certain area, Duke turns against them. He says that Mei-Xue told him that there would be people after her. Duke promised Mei-Xue that he will keep her safe. Nicky and Ryan explain that they really are Mei-Xue's niece and nephew. Nicky even shows the postcard. But Duke doesn't want to believe them. Until Nicky calls Mei-Li, to asks her to talk to Duke. Which finally makes Duke believe. He tells Nicky that he's no longer welcome at Mei-Xue's house, but if they follows his map--they will find what they're looking for.

At home, Althea has already told her parents about what she had gone through Cloudrush Capital. Mei-Li wants to know what Althea wants them to do. She tells them that there's nothing they can do, that they have already done everything she could ever want or need: because they love her and believe her. She just wanted them to know what she had gone through before she goes public. Jin and Mei-Li hug their daughter.

Nicky and Ryan reach Mei-Xue's house, but it's abandoned. There are clear signs of someone recently fleeing the scene though. Nicky finds journals in the house. She takes photos of the pages. She is about to leave when Ryan finds a photo of Mei-Xue and Mei-Li with their own parents. Ryan recognizes their Wai-gong and Wai-po. Nicky hears something from the back and exits through the kitchen--to find that there's a grave in the yard. A grave with Mei-Xue's face. Nicky calls Mei-Li. "Mom, I've got bad news." Inside the house, Ryan finds a long box that has inscription. "Duke, send this to Mei-Li if something happens to me."

At the end of the episode, Nicky and Ryan reunite with Evan and Henry, apologizing for setting off on their own. Evan then tells them that Henry has something important to say. Henry sighs and comes clean to Nicky: His father was a guardian of one of the eight weapons. He's been helping Nicky because it is his duty to keep the weapons, at least the one that his family was supposed to keep safe, separate from the others.

Finsbury Park 5000s Review

As part of the buildup to my sub 3 hour BMW Berlin marathon attempt I’m running a 10k, 5k and half marathon to sharpen me up.

Taking place at the Finsbury Park Athletics track, this event was organised by Jacob Howe and Kim Butler. This series is in its second year and was sold out. I can’t fault the event, it was well organised, and split into seven different races from a predicted finish time of 20:20 down to sub 16:15. If you want to go for a PB I’d highly recommend it. The only feedback is the finish timing was slightly off. Human error is just one of those things, I’m sure if I was timing I’d do the same thing, so I don’t want to be too critical about an otherwise great event.

Official race time 18:49. But I crossed the line in 18:48. The race buildup: I’m working with sports mindset coach Duncan Foster and he pointed out something my running coach John said. In previous training cycles, I’d be searching for the perfect in training and racing. This isn’t sustainable or achievable, as everyone has off days. One way I looked for perfect was in the data from my watch. Coach John has been encouraging me to clock watch less when running, so I learn to trust my best effort.

Going into this race. My preparation wasn’t on point, I wasn’t focused to race. If anything I saw it as a training run I had to get through. Also as a working parent, it’s been a very tough week, my daughter hasn’t been well and I hadn’t had a good nights sleep the week going into the race. I was preoccupied with life stuff and didn’t have the race focus or pre race nerves as a result. On a hot Friday evening, my mind was frazzled from a day at work. I ran my warmup before and it felt awful, I felt tight in my legs and mentally I wasn’t in “the zone” to race. With so much negativity in my head pre race I had to stop, give myself a talking to and get grounded, to give my best for 12.5 laps.

The moment I had to give myself a pep talk! I recognised that I felt off, so I decided that I wasn’t going to clock watch. Because if you see your time slowing, subconsciously you can interpret it as a negative and give less than your best effort. I wasn’t going to give my power away to an external element during the race, when I had so many other external elements to content with. It was a race, but I decided I wasn’t racing anyone. It was a training run and I’d do MY best. Before the race I just felt off, I felt like I wanted to DNF after the first lap. But I thought about my daughter, and what example I’d like to set her. I couldn’t quit because it was hard. The race: It seems like I’m leading you down a path to justify a bad result… I’m not!! I’m just being honest that running doesn’t always flow. At 19:15 I started in race 2, with a predicted finish between 19:00 — 19:50. My previous PB was 18:57 and I crossed the line in 18:48. I don’t remember much of the race, the noises blended into one, the shouts of the crowd, the buzzing of my watch, the race steward giving me 400m lap splits every lap.

I was focusing on counting down 12.5 laps, until I heard the final lap bell ring. The first mile was sub 6 minutes, I was in third place. A few laps afterwards my legs were burning. Rather than it being a motivator to dig deeper, my mind wasn’t in it and I wanted to stop multiple times. I’d talk myself out of it. I’d repeat internally give the best effort for the moment, you’re in. I got to the final 4 laps and thought, don’t quit on yourself. Keep going and don’t look at your watch. I got passed by a guy who was there to race. And stayed in fourth place until the end.

I kept telling myself… It was just 18 plus minutes of “discomfort”, that would be over soon… And then I could then rest.

The point is not all PB’s are showered in glory and self congratulation. Where it all flows. Some PB’s are ugly. In a previous conversation with Duncan he got me to look at how can I win the ugly moments. When your in a tough spot, how can you regroup and move forward.

The finish: 4th place and a PB The race was just an ongoing conversation between the ugly and remembering my strengths. Not all races can you be fully in the zone, or have a mantra that keeps you focused, especially with life pressures being a big factor on my performance.

Congratulating the winner of race 2 Some races I’ve gone into and mentally prepared to race, place or win. I’ve achieved those targets. But today was the opposite. I felt awful before the race due to lack of sleep, I felt off in the race. Before the race I had to stop and pay attention to these signals, answer them, park them and focus on what I could control for the next 12.5 laps. Whilst mindset is important, crucially your only as good as the your training, you’ve done. You can’t draw on a strength you haven’t experienced before. For the race I was having to draw on a lot of past experiences to finish with a PB time on an off day.

I’d like to thank: My family, without their support training/racing wouldn’t be possible; On Running for supplying the kit. Including the Cloudrush shoes, Tank-T, hybrid shorts and high socks. My kit reviews will be following soon; Duncan at DSF Coaching for working with me in the run up to Berlin to work on my mindset for working towards a sub 3 hour marathon. I’m looking forward to sharing the content in due course. But rather than throw standard mindset tips at you, he cares about the work he does and takes the time to get to know what makes you tick so he can help you reach your best; Coach John. Having a coach is so valuable. Whilst I’ve worked hard in training, without the structure and the experience I wouldn’t be this far along. Two PB’s in the 5k and 10k in this training block, thanks coach; Maurten for fuelling my runs, I had one Gel 100 in my warmup and a 320 drink mix earlier in the day; Tim Soar who was racing at the event. He gave me my first runner ambassador role, and makes high quality running wear. Beyond the kit he gave me great life advice when dealing with negativity online and sponsored me to work with my first running coach. When I was talking to Tim pre race, I didn’t realise it until after talking to him, that Tim was a catalyst to my running journey. Like Steve Jobs said you can only join the dots looking backwards. 📸 Photos shot by Duncan & myself on the iPhone XS   Read the full article

Rewriting The CW's Kung Fu, Part 1: The Characters

Hello. I've written a few posts complaining about how The CW's Kung Fu was written and plotted. So instead of just complaining, I decided to do something productive: I'm going to rewrite the show.

This will be the first part in an eight-part series that would detail the things, I think, could've made the first season much stronger in terms of story-telling and character-building. Do take note that I will be writing this for The CW's target market: teens to young adults who are looking for both entertainment and representation.

Before we start with the story, let us first start with re-configuring the characters.

NICKY SHEN, mid to late 20s. The eldest daughter of first-generation immigrants, she feels pressured into following the path made for her by her parents. She carries a lot of guilt, having seen her parents struggle to raise her and her siblings in a land that's not always welcoming to foreigners--and then running away when she felt like she no longer had control over her life. She has spent the last three years in a monastery where her days are spent training in the martial arts, meditating, and farming. Upon her return home, she doesn't know what her place is in the world--and in her family--anymore.

HENRY YAN, mid to late 20s. A martial arts instructor at the Chinese community center, he becomes intrigued by Nicky's unique background and insight into their community. A working student, he has only recently continued his collegiate studies because of a checkered past he needed to deal with, as well as his family's financial struggles. He feels like he has a lot to prove because of people's preconceptions of who he is, based on what he had to do to survive.

EVAN HARTLEY, mid to late 20s. A San Francisco Assistant District Attorney, he is Nicky's best friend from childhood to law school. He is part of a hiring initiative that prioritizes people who can speak in multiple languages, and gets assigned many cases that come from Chinatown. He has recently proposed to his girlfriend, a fellow classmate of his and Nicky's from law school, thinking he has finally moved on from being left behind by the woman he loved three years ago...and then she, Nicky, comes back into his life.

RYAN SHEN, mid-20s. Nicky's younger brother who has just recently finished his internship at a local hospital; he is currently working as a resident physician at the same hospital he interned for--while volunteering his free time at the Chinese community center's free clinic. He is gay but has yet to tell his parents the truth, blaming Nicky for abandoning him when he was just about to confess. (Yes, I put him back in the closet for storytelling purposes.)

ALTHEA SHEN, mid-20s. Nicky's younger sister has put her career on hold to get married to her high school sweetheart. A sought-after computer engineer, Althea has surprised everyone--her parents included--when she suddenly gave up her high-ranking position at Cloudrush Capital to focus on her wedding. She is the most adjusted and mature out of the Shen siblings, seeing as her parents didn't have as much expectations from her as they did Nicky and Ryan.

SHEN MEI-LI, late 40s to early 50s. Nicky's mother comes from a very strict family and this has made her guarded with her emotions. She is very protective of her children and will do anything to keep them safe--including hide parts of her history she thinks will lead them astray. She works as the manager of Happy Dumplings, the restaurant she built with her husband Jin.

SHEN JIN, early to mid 50s. Nicky's father immigrated to San Francisco when he was a young man, inspired by the American Dream. He has a go-getter attitude which was further bolstered when he married Mei-Li, pushing him to move on from being a line cook at a faux-Chinese fast food chain to opening his own restaurant. Having been denied of better opportunities, he works hard to make sure that his children never has to face the same challenges he had in the past.

Okay, those are just broad strokes of who the characters are when the story begins. I've upgraded Evan to becoming an actual main character with a romantic subplot with Nicky since, if I'm not mistaken, that was the intention when they introduced him in the pilot. I've also downgraded Pei-Ling Zhang, Nicky's mentor to a recurring character--who we will get to now:

ZHANG PEI-LING, early 40s. A female monk at a Shaolin monastery, Pei-Ling helps Nicky escape from an arranged-marriage "love" tour by allowing her to hide in her truck. Pei-Ling is in charge of the martial arts training at the monastery, teaching her students that to keep a strong hand steady, one must also have a strong heart.

ZHANG ZHI-LAN, mid to late 30s. A businesswoman whose worldwide travels hide an international hunt for eight mystical weapons that would give the collector untold powers. She is Pei-Ling's sister who holds a lot of resentment because of the way their family broke apart. She keeps a cold and calculating facade to keep people away from her, afraid of being vulnerable enough to get emotionally hurt again.

DENNIS SOONG, mid 20s. Althea's fiancée who is the heir apparent of the Soong business empire. He has the practiced charm of a high school outcast who was slow to grow into his looks; although he became part of the popular crowd by the time he graduated, he never forgot the people who treated him as an equal back when he was a societal pariah. He is also a loving son, brother, and husband-to-be.

JOE HARPER, mid to late 20s. A freelance graphic artist who uses his talents, and his gift of gab, to fight for human rights. He is passionate, headstrong, and he never backs down from a challenge.

CHLOE SOONG, late teen. Dennis's younger sister who has fallen in with a bad crowd of bored rich teens. She feels out-of-place in her parents' perfect world, which draws her towards Nicky--who identifies with her plight to break out of the mold assigned to her.

SABINE SMITH, mid to late 20s. A classmate of Nicky's and Evan's from law school, Sabine is Evan's fiancée. She is nurturing and helpful, she is the one who pushes Evan to help Nicky settle back into her San Francisco life--not realizing she is also pushing Evan's feelings for Nicky back into the picture.

KERWIN TAN, late 20s to early 30s. A young socialite who becomes part of Nicky and Zhilan's race to find the eight mythical weapons of power. He is the youngest son of a business tycoon, Raymond Tan, who is also interested in collecting the weapons. He resents the competitive upbringing his father has given him and his siblings, which makes him decide to also join the hunt for the weapons.

MEI-XUE, late 40s. Mei-Li's younger sister, she ran away from home after discovering their family's warrior lineage--wanting to be the one to find the mythical weapons so she could keep them from falling into the wrong hands. In her journey to find the weapons, she discovers more about the power they can wield--which scares her into hiding in the mountains of Canada, with the help of a rich friend she made in her journeys.

STANLEY ANG, early 30s. He is an original character that I wanted to include for additional Chinese diversity. The only son of an old couple who were Mei-Li's friends before she migrated. He is intelligent, very savvy, but isn't very fluent in English. He works as a software developer for a programming company who had him (and his parents) move to their US office so he could oversee the projects he manages better.

Kung Fu has a few more important characters they introduce, but I'm staying with the ones who will make an impact to the story I'm rewriting.

If you've read my past gripes about the show, you would know that I don't like the fact that Zhi-lan (and Kerwin, later on) was shoved into our throats even when their storylines didn't need to be told. That opinion remains. But it doesn't change the fact that they do make an impact to the story--especially with the finale the show left us with. So they're retaining their recurring status in my rewrite.

And this is where we end for now. In the next post, I will be rejigging the pilot to better set-up who Nicky is and what her relationships are at the start of the series.

The number of Crypto global users has exceeded 221 million

Crypto全球用户数已突破2.21亿

The number of Crypto global users has exceeded 221 million

据Crypto.com“衡量全球加密用户”最新研究报告中显示，在过去的上半年，全球加密货币用户数量翻了一倍不止，截止至6月底，用户数量已从1亿多增加到2.21亿。该报告来自全球领先的加密货币交易所链上数据和其他指标，包括Binance、Huobi、Bitfinex、Okex等交易所。

According to the latest research report of Crypto.com "Measuring Global Encryption Users", the number of global cryptocurrency users more than doubled in the first half of the past. As of the end of June, the number of users has increased from more than 100 million to 221 million. The report comes from data and other indicators on the world's leading cryptocurrency exchanges, including exchanges such as Binance, Huobi, Bitfinex, and Okex.

至此，Crypto成为全球用户数量最多的交易所。

At this point, Crypto has become the exchange with the largest number of users in the world.

2020年5月，Crypto用户总数超过6600万人，到今年1月份全球用户增加至1亿，而最新的数据显示，只花了四个月时间，Crypto用户数就从1亿迅速突破2亿，这表明Crypto市场今年上半年的增长速度明显加快了。

In May 2020, the total number of Crypto users exceeded 66 million. By January this year, the number of global users increased to 100 million. The latest data shows that in only four months, the number of Crypto users quickly exceeded 200 million from 100 million. This shows that the growth rate of the Crypto market in the first half of this year has accelerated significantly.

当然这其中除了牛市的推动，另外比特币在第一季度创下历史新高，这也给Crypto带来正向的数据提升。

Of course, in addition to the promotion of the bull market, Bitcoin hit a record high in the first quarter, which also brought positive data improvements to Crypto.

MicroStrategy首席执行官Michael Saylor指出：“比特币目前被1.14亿人持有，成为历史上增长最快、持有最广泛的金融资产。”

MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor pointed out: "Bitcoin is currently held by 114 million people, making it the fastest growing and most widely held financial asset in history."

在这个市场推动下，利好消息频出，加上投资者对代币的兴趣激增，以太坊也在第二季度有了优异表现，用户数相较于第一季度有了大幅的增加。

Driven by this market, good news is coming out frequently. Coupled with the surge in investor interest in tokens and Ethereum also performed well in the second quarter, the number of users increased significantly compared to the first quarter.

然而，今年5月，Elon Musk在推特上发布消息，不仅评论关于比特币开采对环境的影响，随后还发出声明：特斯拉将不再支持比特币支付。一时间舆论四起，导致比特币和以太坊暴跌，而其他Crypto则大幅飙升。

However, in May of this year, Elon Musk posted a message on Twitter not only commented on the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining, but then also issued a statement: Tesla will no longer support Bitcoin payments. At a time, the public opinion raged, causing Bitcoin and Ethereum to plummet, while other Cryptos soared.

尤其是在第二季度的最后两个月期间，各种山寨币推动将Crypto的采用率推向新高。像SHIB、DOGE这样的代币受到了大部分用户欢迎，并且还引起了市场外的用户兴趣。马斯克就曾多次公开为它们站台。

Especially during the last two months of the second quarter, various altcoins pushed the adoption rate of Crypto to a new high. Tokens such as SHIB and DOGE have been welcomed by most users and have also aroused interest from users outside the market. Musk has publicly promoted them many times.

“例如像PoS共识机制和meme通证这样的新挑战者在5月份表现出了巨大的潜力，尤其是在比特币的开采耗能受到了更多的关注之后。”

"For example, new challengers such as the PoS consensus mechanism and meme tokens showed great potential in May especially after the energy consumption of Bitcoin mining has received more attention."

比特币和以太坊失去了市场份额，更多的山寨币、动物币相继涌现，并迅速在社区用户中得到广泛共识，其他Crypto上升趋势越发明显。

Bitcoin and Ethereum have lost market share, and more altcoins and animal coins have emerged one after another, and they have quickly gained widespread consensus among community users. The upward trend of other cryptos has become more apparent.

当然Crypto的用户激增并不能完全归因于其他非主流币的新起，这其中有很多因素，加密货币市场逐渐被越来越多人知晓，基于此的应用也层出不穷，随着时代的发展，用户增加是必然走向。况且，以比特币和以太坊强大的背景以及共识，主流币的地位还是不可能轻易撼动，人们对于这些山寨币的热情很快会消散，回归主流也是必然。

Of course, the surge in Crypto users cannot be entirely attributed to the new rise of other non-mainstream currencies. There are many factors in this. The cryptocurrency market is gradually being known by more and more people, and applications based on this are also emerging in endlessly. With the development of the times, the increase in users is an inevitable trend. Moreover, with the strong background and consensus of Bitcoin and Ethereum, the status of mainstream currencies cannot be easily shaken. People's enthusiasm for these altcoins will soon dissipate, and it is inevitable to return to the mainstream.

虽然熊市市场稍显萎靡，但相信这种情况不会持续太久，市场回暖便是新一轮爆发!

Although the bear market is a little sluggish, it is believe that this situation will not last long. The market recovery will be a new round of outbreak!
