2023.04.01 12:39 LuxiconBE a few questions from an expat
Hi there! I moved yesterday to Ann Arbor from Europe to work at the University of Michigan. A few questions which I want to pose to locals now that I have arrived are: (1) I'm looking to buy a second hand use car in place of my rental. Do you know decent dealers nearby? I have been using carvana and cargurus as apps to find good deals too. (2) Everyone drives SUV cars. I know this is the typical American experience, but given the state of the roads here, I doubt one would want anything other than a SUV. Right? (3) Mobile phone data subscription plans, which one do you advice me to use? I've heard mint mobile offers good deals, but I struggled to find a SIM card in any of the supermarkets down town.

2023.04.01 12:39 foursquare1247845 How Hoarding Advertising Impacts Consumer Behavior
| https://preview.redd.it/3cjcmqtk49ra1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b22f86b24c1d260b64e8e47fcbcc6e95d0050522 Have you ever noticed how advertising seems to be everywhere? From billboards and TV commercials to sponsored posts on social media, it's hard to escape the constant barrage of marketing messages that bombard us every day. But have you ever stopped to consider how this hoarding of advertising impacts your own behavior as a consumer? What is Hoarding Advertising? Hoarding Advertising is a form of Outdoor Advertising that uses large, often billboards, to promote a product or service. This type of advertising is most commonly used in busy urban areas where there is a lot of foot traffic, such as on sidewalks or in subways. Hoarding ads are usually placed near the point of sale for the product or service being advertised, such as in store windows or at eye level on shelves. Hoarding Advertising can have a significant impact on consumer behavior. This type of advertising is designed to be highly visible and difficult to ignore, which can lead consumers to take notice of a product or service they may not have otherwise considered. Additionally, the size and placement of hoardings can make them difficult to miss, which can prompt spontaneous purchases. How Does Hoarding Advertising Impact Consumer Behavior? Hoarding Advertising is a form of Outdoor Advertising that involves the placement of large, often brightly-colored advertisements on buildings or other structures. These ads are usually placed in high-traffic areas, such as near transit stops or on busy streets, in order to reach a large number of people. While some people may view hoardings as eyesores, they can actually be quite effective in influencing consumer behavior. There are several benefits of Hoarding Advertising, including: 1. Increased brand awareness: Hoardings are difficult to miss, which means they can help increase brand awareness and name recognition. If potential customers are repeatedly exposed to your company’s hoardings, they’re more likely to remember your brand when they need the products or services you offer. 2. Greater reach: Hoardings can reach a wide audience, including people who may not be exposed to traditional forms of advertising such as television or print ads. 3. Cost-effective: Hoarding Advertising can be very cost-effective, especially when compared to other forms of Outdoor Advertising such as bus shelter ads or billboards. 4. Flexible: Hoardings can be placed in a variety of locations, which gives you flexibility in terms of where your ad will be seen by potential customers. 5. Targeted: Hoardings can be placed near specific target audiences, such as those who live or work near the hoarding location. This ensures that your ad reaches the people who are most likely to use your products or services. Strategies for Effective Hoarding Advertising There are a few key strategies that can be employed to create effective hoardings advertising. First, it is important to create a strong visual impact. The ad should be highly visible and eye-catching, using bright colors and an attention-grabbing image. Second, the copy used in the ad should be direct and to the point. It should clearly state what the product or service is and what benefit the consumer will receive by using it. Finally, hoardings ads should be placed in strategic locations where they will reach the target audience. For example, if targeting consumers who are likely to be driving, then placing hoardings along major highways would be ideal. Conclusion Hoarding advertising has a significant impact on consumer behavior and the way businesses advertise their products. It creates an emotional connection between customers and brands, making it easier to form loyalty with them. This translates into long-term relationships between consumers and companies – as well as higher sales of products or services. The use of hoardings also helps businesses establish brand awareness in local markets, further increasing visibility for the company or product.

2023.04.01 12:35 moondog151 "The Huang Yanqiu Incident" A rural villager would on three separate occasions go missing after going to bed only to wake up in a major city thousands of miles away and arrived in the city faster than he should've been possible given the distance.
| Huang Yanqiu was born in 1956 in Dongbeigao Village in China's Hebei province. Little is known about his early life aside from the fact that he worked as a farmer in the village and his mother passed away while he was a child. Huang Yanqiu On July 27, 1977, Huang was 21 years old and still working as a farmer. Huang was recently engaged and planned on marrying his fiancee after the harvest season and the couple recently began building themselves a new home. At 10:00 PM Huang had just finished his farm work for the day and went to bed in his unfinished home. That was the last anyone had seen of Huang for a while as the next morning when the village woke up on July 28 Huang was nowhere to be found. The village was greatly alarmed by Huang's disappearance and initiated a massive search effort to try and find him but there was no trace of Huang anywhere to be found. This worried and confused the villagers especially Huang's family as Huang never travelled far and only had a primary school level education. They searched the surrounding roads, ponds, cliffs and other unknown locations to try and find him and even contacted the nearest hospitals and police to ask if any unidentified bodies had been discovered but to no avail. Fortunately, Huang would be found alive and unharmed but this only resulted in more questions. 10 days later on August 6 the village committee received a telegram from Shanghai. The telegram said that Huang was being held at a deportation center and that they were hoping for a local to come and pick him up. The telegram was late to arrive because it was accidentally addressed to the wrong village. There was just one problem, the telegram from Shanghai was dated at 9:AM on July 28 less than half a day after his disappearance. Huang was later returned by the police in Shanghai and it was indeed Huang. There was just one problem, Huang being in Shanghai that soon should've been impossible. Huang was questioned by his fellow villagers and he could not provide an answer. According to him, he went to bed and when at 6:00 or 7:00 AM he was awoken by a loud noise, this noise wasn't that of the farm animals but instead the sounds of vehicles and numerous people. When he fully awoke he found himself on a sidewalk and that around him were cars, neon lights and tall buildings/skyscrapers. He wondered around and saw writing on the various buildings and businesses which said things such as "Nanjing Shopping Center", "Nanjing Restaurant", and "Nanjing Pharma" and that nearby was a large "swimming pool" which he later found out was Lake Xuanwu. It didn't take Huang long to realize that somehow he was in Nanjing the capital city of Jiangsu Province located 485 miles away from his home village. While Huang who was now in complete and utter shock at his circumstance walked aimlessly around the unfamiliar city until he was stopped and approached by two police officers. Huang due to his state of shock and disbelief could barely answer their questions. When they asked Huang what he was doing or who he was he simply said that he was "really lost" the two officers led Huang to the Nanjing Rail Station and gave him a ticket to Shanghai and told Huang that they would be waiting for him and once he arrived he'd be taken to a "repatriation camp" for migrants and those without a hukou document. Huang not knowing what else to do and being in no position to disobey or resist bordered the train. 4 hours later the train pulled into Shanghai station and Huang headed out for the first police station he could find and to his confusion, the exact same police officers from Nanjing were already waiting for him despite being out of their jurisdiction, not boarding the train before him and most of all the train was the fastest method available at the time to travel between the two cities and the officers did not bored the train. Arriving to Shanghai before Huang should be straight-up impossible. The two officers refused to let Huang enter the police station in Shanghai and instead dropped Huang off at the repatriation camp in Shanghai. Huang first told his story to a PLA soldier at the camp named Lü Qingtang and added the detail that the police officers in question were likely from Shandong province based on the ticket he was given. Huang stayed in the camp much longer than expected as when Huang woke up in Nanjing he didn't have any of his identity documents and when the telegrams were sent out to the village to come collect Huang they erroneously addressed them to Xinzhai Village instead of Dongbeigao Village. The confusion was only cleared up after Huang was identified via a birthmark and because the PLA soldier Huang talked to had relatives in the village. As mentioned any questions the villagers had were multiplied as opposed to answered. Huang arriving in Nanjing that soon should be impossible. At the time trains in China were too slow to make such a fast trip. The nearest rail station was in the city of Handan which Huang would've had to find his way to in the dark despite having never even been to Handan before. But even if he did make it to Handan all by himself with next to no money the train would take 1 whole day to reach Nanjing as opposed to the 9-10 hours between when Huang went to sleep and when he woke up. And this is without taking into account the waiting time for the train to arrive at Haidan station and trains were notoriously late back them sometimes even being held back by an entire day and tickets were expensive. Other methods of transportation also wouldn't work out. Planes and civilian aviation travel in China was still very new and of course expensive. The entirety of Hebei Province only had a tiny handful of airports with the closest one being in the north near Beijing located on the complete opposite side of Hebei from where Huang lived. It was deemed highly unlikely for Huang to make the trip there by himself especially as he wouldn't know the way and even if he did somehow make it to the airport there would still be the issue of paying for a ticket. A car also wouldn't work as nobody in Dongbeigao village owned a vehicle and even having a bicycle was considered immensely expensive and outside the means of the villagers. And even if he could use any of these methods it still wouldn't explain the short time as to even get from Dongbeigao village to the nearest city Handan would take 4 hours to drive from the village to the city by car. There was also the question of why Huang would assuming he wasn't lying would do this. Huang had never mentioned Nanjing or Shanghai at any point prior and the fact that leaving their ancestral village and families was frowned upon. How Huang made it to Nanjing in such a short amount of time is unknown but most villagers were prepared to accept it as a strange oddity and move on while others dismissed Huang as lying or bragging about visiting a city. That was until it happened again. On September 8, 1977, it was harvest season in the village again and Huang and his fellow villagers were made to do backbreaking work during a meeting held by the village cadres. At 10:00 PM the head of the village gave Huang and a few other villagers permission to leave and go to bed early as long as they send and deliever manure/fertilizer the next morning. They all took the cadres up on this offer and went to sleep. The next morning on September 9 the villagers arrived at the fertiliser storage area only to notice that Huang was missing. Thinking that he had overslept they all went to his house only to find it empty. Something different caught their eye however, Carved into his bedroom wall was a message and that message said "Shandong Gao Dengmin, Gao Yanjin Relax" Just like the last time Huang was in Shanghai and was quickly sent back to the village on September 11 and this time there were witnesses both in Shanghai and Dongbeigao. A majority of the village witnessed Huang go to his house and sleep before his disappearance the next morning and just like with his first disappearance Huang couldn't explain it. According to Huang, he woke up at The Shanghai Rail Station due to a cold breeze, the same one the two mysterious police officers sent him to. Huang was again startled by his surroundings as it was the middle of the night and according to the Station's clock tower, it was 2:00 AM and as far as Huang could see there were no other people and the only light came from the stars and moon. Not only had Huang unknowingly travelled a far distance in an impossibly short time but he also did it at an inopportune time because along with the darkness Huang was constantly startled by the sound of thunder, lighting and battered by heavy rain and high winds because Typhon Babe had recently made landfall near Shanghai. Huang who was now even more terrified than he was before could only think of Lü Qingtang, Lü was the PLA soldier who helped him after his first trip to Shanghai and was the one who ultimately helped him return home due to his relatives in the village. Lü was not only the only person Huang could think to help him but he was also the only person he knew at all in Shanghai. Finding Lü was not going to be easy as Huang wouldn't be able to navigate Shanghai at all let alone during a typhoon in the middle of the night with no people in sight. As Huang began to walk he heard a voice coming from behind him hearing a man say "Hello there, you must be Huang Yanqiu of Feixiang County. Trying to head to the artillery division?" this shocked him immensely and he quickly turned back to see who this person was. When he turned around he saw two men dressed in military uniforms. They told Huang that they were soldiers belonging Lü's division and were assigned to pick him up from the railway station. Huang followed the men who took various ferries and buses before arriving at the "artillery division" located in what is today the Pudong District. Despite how heavily guarded the area is the guards let Huang and the two men pass without issue. They then went to where Lü lived with his family and they were completely shocked to see them as well as Huang again. Lü however, wasn't home at the time. His wife Li Yuying was surprised that the three were even at their home because according to Li "When a relative comes to visit, they have to show their legal documents and sign in at the gate, we'll then come down and confirm their identities, then they can finally be let in. No way the guards and soldiers would let them in without any proceedings!" and years later Lü's son when questioned about the case would say that the two solider's uniforms looked off, he commented that . "...their uniforms looked quite the ordinary, yet not very fitting, especially their visors. One's shoes and visor are the most important part of the uniform,... their visors were too big, and their uniforms seem to have been borrowed, too." Before his family could question the two they simply walked away and couldn't be found again. Huang being at the base was a major security violation and officials interrogated the guards on duty who all claimed to have never seen Huang and the two soldiers at any point. Once Lü returned home another telegram was sent directly to the head of Dongbeigao Village and they wanted to know every last detail about Huang and who exactly he was with the telegram even straight up asking if Huang was a spy. They received a response from the head of the village, telling them that Huang was just a farmer with no ill intent. Without any other information, the army decided to send Huang back to the village but sternly warned him that he'd be arrested if they ever see him again. He returned home on September 11. In their official reports the military was unable to explain how Huang got to Shanghai so quickly and managed to get into the base. Due to the multitude of witnesses testifying that Huang went to sleep in the village and the military confirming that he was in Shanghai all those who felt that Huang was lying about his travels soon had their doubts erased. Huang became the most talked about resident of the village and not in a good way as he became the main subject of all the local gossip, rumours and of course superstitions. Many thought that he was possessed or haunted with that being the reason for his seemingly supernatural speed and ability to travel such short distances. The constant attention took a mental toll on Huang's fiance who sued his family for 200 yuan due to "reputational damages" and divorced him. This financially and emotionally ruined Huang and it was when he was at his lowest that the third and final incident happened. Huang continued his work as a farmer and labourer for the village and on September 20, 1977, he had finished his work for the day and began walking home. According to Huang, however, so tired that he ended up passing out in the yard in front of his house and went missing again. He would stay missing until September 28 when he was found under a Jujube tree in the village and when asked where he had been he told them about the most extraordinary story yet. According to him, after he passed out in front of his home he woke up and instead of on the sidewalk or in a deserted train station during typhoon season he instead found himself in a luxury hotel room. He looked around and behind him, he saw the same two men from the first two incidents. This time, however, they were both dressed in civilian clothing and introduced themselves. They told Huang that they were brothers from Shandong Province and identified themselves as Gao Dengmin, 26, and Gao Yanjin, 25. Huang also estimated that they were around 170 cm tall. They told Huang that they were the cause behind his disappearances and that they dressed as police and soldiers to help him find his way home, they said that they had something special planned for Huang and that during the next 9 days, they would take him to 9 major cities. Huang asked where he was right now and the brothers told him that it was still September 20 and that he was in Lanzhou located in China's Gansu Province the furthest he has ever been from home. A composite sketch of the two created by the police Soon Huang would learn how he had travelled so far so quickly because the next day on September 21 they made Huang climb onto their back and as Huang would later state "They took off" and quite literally flew away with just their bodies. Huang said that they were "flying" at a low altitude and that he didn't feel any wind, he also recounted that the brothers took turns carrying him on their back. In over an hour, the three had arrived in Beijing. They first went to the Chang'an Grand Theater without tickets and just like at the army base nobody stopped them. They watched an opera performance of Forced Onto Mt. Liang. Their next stop was Tiananmen Square and were in front of a Huabiao. The brothers who were now speaking standard Mandarin instead of their dialects introduced Huang to the surrounding areas and checked into a hotel showing the staff a "provincial-level introduction letter" for registration. That same day they then flew to Tianjin where they snuck into a movie theatre without tickets and watched a movie. On September 22 they arrived in Harbin located in Heilongjiang Province. In Harbin, they visited a department store and then visited Changchun in Jilin Province. On September 23 they went to Shenyang in Liaoning Province. On September 25 they visited Fuzhou in Fujian Province before visiting Nanjing. They spend the next day in Nanjing. On September 27 they visited Xi'an in Shaanxi Province for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Also on September 27, they made their last stop returning to Lanzhou. When Huang went to sleep in their hotel room he woke up under the jujube tree mentioned earlier and was back in Dongbeigao Village They travelled to every city via the brothers flying and according to Huang no matter how close or how far the city was the time it took to get there was always 1 hour. He also noted that the brothers could speak the local dialects of all the provinces they visited and whenever they went to hotels the brothers always had a "provincial-level introduction letter". One of the brothers always watched Huang while the other would borrow clothing such as police or military uniforms from somewhere Huang didn't know. Clothing and yuan for the accommodations and meals were the only items the brothers carried as they didn't seem to own items such as bags and wallets. Aside from their ability to fly to anywhere they wanted and their strange behaviour such as only carrying clothes and money, Huang said that they were seemingly normal human beings in every other aspect and ate and slept like anyone else. They also had the same body temperature as anyone else would The only rules they seemed to have were that Huang was not allowed to photograph them or anything and he couldn't keep any souvenirs from his trips. When Huang asked why they singled him out they wouldn't respond and when he asked if they could teach him how to fly like them or tell him how they learnt to do it they gave a firm "No" as their answer. Just as they had told him in the 9 days he was missing they had visited 9 different cities. A map of his travels Huang was the talk of the village all over again and the superstitions that gods or ghosts were responsible continued. Eventually, the gossip around Huang had gotten to the point that the local police, propaganda department and the nearest military base had heard of Huang's story and began a very extensive investigation into Huang. Offical's believed that he was purposefully sabotaging the village's production and reputation and proceeded to classify him as a "class enemy" While being interrogated his behaviour was found to be "normal" and he showed no signs of mental illness or cognitive disorders. After they were unable to find any evidence of Huang being a threat they reluctantly let him go and revoked his "class enemy" status. Huang's story became well known throughout China and is one of the country's most famous alleged paranormal events and even the government officially declares his case as "unexplained" This is not the end of Huang's story though. On December 14, 2004, the case was reinvestigated by Zhang Jingping, an investigator of the Beijing Branch of the China UFO Association, Ji Jianmin, the chairman of the Feixiang UFO Association, and Dr. Wu, a famous Chinese hypnotist, professor of Peking University Medical Department. There was rather conclusive evidence of Huang's first two incidents as numerous witnesses as well as official telegrams all confirm that Huang had gone to sleep in his home village only to appear in Shanghai but there was far more doubt as to if he had been to any of the cities mentioned during his third disappearance. Huang was put under hypnosis and asked what happened and he told the doctor the same story he did back in 1977. Huang eventually woke up from the hypnotic state claiming that one of the two brothers made him wake up. In 2004 a documentary was made by CCTV and several interviews and tests were conducted during the documentary. He was subjected to a polygraph test and he ended up failing the test and Huang refused to accept these results. Those administering the tests also admitted that Huang's declining memory, the 27-year gap between the test and the incident and the stress of being subjected to such a test for the first time may affect the results. During the documentary, the police based on Huang's descriptions also created composite sketches of Gao Dengmin and Gao Yanjin. Due to the advancement in China's transportation infrastructure, Huang was brought to Nanjing and he was able to retrace his steps and attempt to recreate his journey from the sidewalk to the former then non-existent military base. They then brought Huang to the physiatric division of Beijing Anding Hospital where the lead doctor after reading his statements said that the brothers would've been travelling at supersonic speeds and that Huang had been sleepwalking or lying. Although nobody defended him from claims of sleepwalking his fellow villagers all refused to entertain the possibility that Huang was purposefully lying to them. They cited Huang's lack of motivation or ability to travel, how he travelled to Shanghai in such a short amount of time and how he had no reason to lie about it since telling his story caused him to become a laughing stock and lost him his fiance. Huang quite literally gain nothing from telling this story and it severely affected him negatively. Aside from a lack of evidence others supporting the lying theory state that Huang only claimed to have visited major cities prompting some to speculate that he just picked them out from a map and that oddly enough he never visited Shijiazhuang which is the capital of Hebei, the province that Huang actually lives in. Huang was examined by other psychologists and mental health professionals who deemed Huang to be sane which is the source of the sleepwalking theory. As this theory suggests, Huang was sleepwalking when he made his way to Nanjing and that the stories of the two brothers were just dreams he had while sleepwalking. Various Chinese netizens don't view this theory as credible since Huang while sleepwalking would need to either walk all the way to the train station in Handan (which would take 4 hours to drive to by car) and buy a tick with money he didn't have all while asleep. And while still sleeping once the train stopped in Zhengzhou he would've sleepwalked onto the next train to Shanghai all with nobody noticing he was sleepwalking and waking him up. Just to be sure though doctors performed an MRI scan of Huang's brain and the results came back normal. The third theory is that Huang suffered from multiple personality disorder and that Gao Dengmin and Gao Yanjin were in fact Huang himself and that he just perceived them as different people due to his disorder. The Gao personalities are the ones that actually travel to the locations only for Huang's normal personality to take over once he arrives at the destination hence him waking up. This theory also states that Huang flying on their backs is actually just a fantasy of Huang Yanqiu's repressed personality. This theory doesn't stand up to scrutiny as various Mental Health officials have found Huang sane and that he would've shown signs of multiple personality disorder before and after the three incidents. This theory also wouldn't explain the short travel times and Lü Qingtang's wife and son also witnessing the two as separate people. There is one more theory though it is from those who want to believe that it is all real and that Huang is telling the truth and that UFOs may be involved. They looked further into Huang's claims to try and find any proof that he was in the cities mentioned during his third disappearance. According to one source when describing the weather they matched up with geological data at the time but this appears to be unconfirmed. A journalist went to the Chang'an Grand Theater in Beijing to look through their records and see if they ever held the same performance Huang claimed to have seen. He discovered that the theatre closed due to the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake and wouldn't reopen until 1979 meaning that Huang could not have seen any performances in that theatre. However, there was another theatre nearby named the Jixiang Theater and they were open in 1977 and on September 21, 1977, the day Huang claimed to be in Beijing they held a performance of Forced Onto Mt. Liang. This journalist ruled that Huang hailing from a small and rural village could've easily confused two nearby and similar theatres in an unfamiliar environment such as the major city of Beijing. There are also those who agree that Huang travelled at nearly supersonic speeds but instead have a more terrestrial explanation and that Huang fell victim to military experimentation. This theory states that the military flew Huang to these cities for various experiments and that the Gao brothers were high-ranking officials in charge of the experiments. They then drugged Huang and made him undergo hypnosis to make him forget what he experienced. Many are skeptical of this theory because if the Chinese government wanted to conduct human experimentation they had a myriad of death row inmates and political prisons to draw upon so why instead abduct an innocuous rural farmer from his small village? "The Huang Yanqiu Incident" remains one of China's most infamous unsolved mysteries but as of now, there have been no new developments as a now 67-year-old Huang has opted to live a quiet life in his village away from the cameras. The last bit of news from Huang came from 2008 when he underwent another round of mental evaluations Sources https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E9%BB%84%E5%BB%B6%E7%A7%8B%E4%BA%8B%E4%BB%B6/3270760 http://www.cctv.com/program/zoujinkexue/topic/science/C14443/20050729/100743.shtml http://www.cctv.com/program/zoujinkexue/topic/science/C14443/20050729/100649.shtml http://www.cctv.com/program/zoujinkexue/topic/science/C14443/20050728/102027.shtml http://www.cctv.com/program/zoujinkexue/topic/science/C14443/20050727/102186.shtml https://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/27626821 submitted by moondog151 to HighStrangeness [link] [comments] |

That was the last anyone had seen of Huang for a while as the next morning when the village woke up on July 28 Huang was nowhere to be found.
The village was greatly alarmed by Huang's disappearance and initiated a massive search effort to try and find him but there was no trace of Huang anywhere to be found. This worried and confused the villagers especially Huang's family as Huang never travelled far and only had a primary school level education. They searched the surrounding roads, ponds, cliffs and other unknown locations to try and find him and even contacted the nearest hospitals and police to ask if any unidentified bodies had been discovered but to no avail.
Fortunately, Huang would be found alive and unharmed but this only resulted in more questions. 10 days later on August 6 the village committee received a telegram from Shanghai. The telegram said that Huang was being held at a deportation center and that they were hoping for a local to come and pick him up. The telegram was late to arrive because it was accidentally addressed to the wrong village. There was just one problem, the telegram from Shanghai was dated at 9:AM on July 28 less than half a day after his disappearance. Huang was later returned by the police in Shanghai and it was indeed Huang. There was just one problem, Huang being in Shanghai that soon should've been impossible.
Huang was questioned by his fellow villagers and he could not provide an answer. According to him, he went to bed and when at 6:00 or 7:00 AM he was awoken by a loud noise, this noise wasn't that of the farm animals but instead the sounds of vehicles and numerous people. When he fully awoke he found himself on a sidewalk and that around him were cars, neon lights and tall buildings/skyscrapers. He wondered around and saw writing on the various buildings and businesses which said things such as "Nanjing Shopping Center", "Nanjing Restaurant", and "Nanjing Pharma" and that nearby was a large "swimming pool" which he later found out was Lake Xuanwu. It didn't take Huang long to realize that somehow he was in Nanjing the capital city of Jiangsu Province located 485 miles away from his home village.
While Huang who was now in complete and utter shock at his circumstance walked aimlessly around the unfamiliar city until he was stopped and approached by two police officers. Huang due to his state of shock and disbelief could barely answer their questions. When they asked Huang what he was doing or who he was he simply said that he was "really lost" the two officers led Huang to the Nanjing Rail Station and gave him a ticket to Shanghai and told Huang that they would be waiting for him and once he arrived he'd be taken to a "repatriation camp" for migrants and those without a hukou document. Huang not knowing what else to do and being in no position to disobey or resist bordered the train. 4 hours later the train pulled into Shanghai station and Huang headed out for the first police station he could find and to his confusion, the exact same police officers from Nanjing were already waiting for him despite being out of their jurisdiction, not boarding the train before him and most of all the train was the fastest method available at the time to travel between the two cities and the officers did not bored the train. Arriving to Shanghai before Huang should be straight-up impossible.
The two officers refused to let Huang enter the police station in Shanghai and instead dropped Huang off at the repatriation camp in Shanghai. Huang first told his story to a PLA soldier at the camp named Lü Qingtang and added the detail that the police officers in question were likely from Shandong province based on the ticket he was given. Huang stayed in the camp much longer than expected as when Huang woke up in Nanjing he didn't have any of his identity documents and when the telegrams were sent out to the village to come collect Huang they erroneously addressed them to Xinzhai Village instead of Dongbeigao Village. The confusion was only cleared up after Huang was identified via a birthmark and because the PLA soldier Huang talked to had relatives in the village.
As mentioned any questions the villagers had were multiplied as opposed to answered. Huang arriving in Nanjing that soon should be impossible. At the time trains in China were too slow to make such a fast trip. The nearest rail station was in the city of Handan which Huang would've had to find his way to in the dark despite having never even been to Handan before. But even if he did make it to Handan all by himself with next to no money the train would take 1 whole day to reach Nanjing as opposed to the 9-10 hours between when Huang went to sleep and when he woke up. And this is without taking into account the waiting time for the train to arrive at Haidan station and trains were notoriously late back them sometimes even being held back by an entire day and tickets were expensive.
Other methods of transportation also wouldn't work out. Planes and civilian aviation travel in China was still very new and of course expensive. The entirety of Hebei Province only had a tiny handful of airports with the closest one being in the north near Beijing located on the complete opposite side of Hebei from where Huang lived. It was deemed highly unlikely for Huang to make the trip there by himself especially as he wouldn't know the way and even if he did somehow make it to the airport there would still be the issue of paying for a ticket. A car also wouldn't work as nobody in Dongbeigao village owned a vehicle and even having a bicycle was considered immensely expensive and outside the means of the villagers. And even if he could use any of these methods it still wouldn't explain the short time as to even get from Dongbeigao village to the nearest city Handan would take 4 hours to drive from the village to the city by car. There was also the question of why Huang would assuming he wasn't lying would do this. Huang had never mentioned Nanjing or Shanghai at any point prior and the fact that leaving their ancestral village and families was frowned upon. How Huang made it to Nanjing in such a short amount of time is unknown but most villagers were prepared to accept it as a strange oddity and move on while others dismissed Huang as lying or bragging about visiting a city. That was until it happened again.
On September 8, 1977, it was harvest season in the village again and Huang and his fellow villagers were made to do backbreaking work during a meeting held by the village cadres. At 10:00 PM the head of the village gave Huang and a few other villagers permission to leave and go to bed early as long as they send and deliever manure/fertilizer the next morning. They all took the cadres up on this offer and went to sleep. The next morning on September 9 the villagers arrived at the fertiliser storage area only to notice that Huang was missing. Thinking that he had overslept they all went to his house only to find it empty. Something different caught their eye however, Carved into his bedroom wall was a message and that message said "Shandong Gao Dengmin, Gao Yanjin Relax"
Just like the last time Huang was in Shanghai and was quickly sent back to the village on September 11 and this time there were witnesses both in Shanghai and Dongbeigao. A majority of the village witnessed Huang go to his house and sleep before his disappearance the next morning and just like with his first disappearance Huang couldn't explain it.
According to Huang, he woke up at The Shanghai Rail Station due to a cold breeze, the same one the two mysterious police officers sent him to. Huang was again startled by his surroundings as it was the middle of the night and according to the Station's clock tower, it was 2:00 AM and as far as Huang could see there were no other people and the only light came from the stars and moon. Not only had Huang unknowingly travelled a far distance in an impossibly short time but he also did it at an inopportune time because along with the darkness Huang was constantly startled by the sound of thunder, lighting and battered by heavy rain and high winds because Typhon Babe had recently made landfall near Shanghai.
Huang who was now even more terrified than he was before could only think of Lü Qingtang, Lü was the PLA soldier who helped him after his first trip to Shanghai and was the one who ultimately helped him return home due to his relatives in the village. Lü was not only the only person Huang could think to help him but he was also the only person he knew at all in Shanghai. Finding Lü was not going to be easy as Huang wouldn't be able to navigate Shanghai at all let alone during a typhoon in the middle of the night with no people in sight.
As Huang began to walk he heard a voice coming from behind him hearing a man say "Hello there, you must be Huang Yanqiu of Feixiang County. Trying to head to the artillery division?" this shocked him immensely and he quickly turned back to see who this person was. When he turned around he saw two men dressed in military uniforms. They told Huang that they were soldiers belonging Lü's division and were assigned to pick him up from the railway station.
Huang followed the men who took various ferries and buses before arriving at the "artillery division" located in what is today the Pudong District. Despite how heavily guarded the area is the guards let Huang and the two men pass without issue. They then went to where Lü lived with his family and they were completely shocked to see them as well as Huang again. Lü however, wasn't home at the time. His wife Li Yuying was surprised that the three were even at their home because according to Li "When a relative comes to visit, they have to show their legal documents and sign in at the gate, we'll then come down and confirm their identities, then they can finally be let in. No way the guards and soldiers would let them in without any proceedings!" and years later Lü's son when questioned about the case would say that the two solider's uniforms looked off, he commented that . "...their uniforms looked quite the ordinary, yet not very fitting, especially their visors. One's shoes and visor are the most important part of the uniform,... their visors were too big, and their uniforms seem to have been borrowed, too."
Before his family could question the two they simply walked away and couldn't be found again. Huang being at the base was a major security violation and officials interrogated the guards on duty who all claimed to have never seen Huang and the two soldiers at any point. Once Lü returned home another telegram was sent directly to the head of Dongbeigao Village and they wanted to know every last detail about Huang and who exactly he was with the telegram even straight up asking if Huang was a spy. They received a response from the head of the village, telling them that Huang was just a farmer with no ill intent. Without any other information, the army decided to send Huang back to the village but sternly warned him that he'd be arrested if they ever see him again. He returned home on September 11. In their official reports the military was unable to explain how Huang got to Shanghai so quickly and managed to get into the base.
Due to the multitude of witnesses testifying that Huang went to sleep in the village and the military confirming that he was in Shanghai all those who felt that Huang was lying about his travels soon had their doubts erased. Huang became the most talked about resident of the village and not in a good way as he became the main subject of all the local gossip, rumours and of course superstitions. Many thought that he was possessed or haunted with that being the reason for his seemingly supernatural speed and ability to travel such short distances. The constant attention took a mental toll on Huang's fiance who sued his family for 200 yuan due to "reputational damages" and divorced him. This financially and emotionally ruined Huang and it was when he was at his lowest that the third and final incident happened.
Huang continued his work as a farmer and labourer for the village and on September 20, 1977, he had finished his work for the day and began walking home. According to Huang, however, so tired that he ended up passing out in the yard in front of his house and went missing again. He would stay missing until September 28 when he was found under a Jujube tree in the village and when asked where he had been he told them about the most extraordinary story yet.
According to him, after he passed out in front of his home he woke up and instead of on the sidewalk or in a deserted train station during typhoon season he instead found himself in a luxury hotel room. He looked around and behind him, he saw the same two men from the first two incidents. This time, however, they were both dressed in civilian clothing and introduced themselves. They told Huang that they were brothers from Shandong Province and identified themselves as Gao Dengmin, 26, and Gao Yanjin, 25. Huang also estimated that they were around 170 cm tall. They told Huang that they were the cause behind his disappearances and that they dressed as police and soldiers to help him find his way home, they said that they had something special planned for Huang and that during the next 9 days, they would take him to 9 major cities. Huang asked where he was right now and the brothers told him that it was still September 20 and that he was in Lanzhou located in China's Gansu Province the furthest he has ever been from home.
Soon Huang would learn how he had travelled so far so quickly because the next day on September 21 they made Huang climb onto their back and as Huang would later state "They took off" and quite literally flew away with just their bodies. Huang said that they were "flying" at a low altitude and that he didn't feel any wind, he also recounted that the brothers took turns carrying him on their back. In over an hour, the three had arrived in Beijing. They first went to the Chang'an Grand Theater without tickets and just like at the army base nobody stopped them. They watched an opera performance of Forced Onto Mt. Liang. Their next stop was Tiananmen Square and were in front of a Huabiao. The brothers who were now speaking standard Mandarin instead of their dialects introduced Huang to the surrounding areas and checked into a hotel showing the staff a "provincial-level introduction letter" for registration. That same day they then flew to Tianjin where they snuck into a movie theatre without tickets and watched a movie.
On September 22 they arrived in Harbin located in Heilongjiang Province. In Harbin, they visited a department store and then visited Changchun in Jilin Province. On September 23 they went to Shenyang in Liaoning Province. On September 25 they visited Fuzhou in Fujian Province before visiting Nanjing. They spend the next day in Nanjing. On September 27 they visited Xi'an in Shaanxi Province for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Also on September 27, they made their last stop returning to Lanzhou. When Huang went to sleep in their hotel room he woke up under the jujube tree mentioned earlier and was back in Dongbeigao Village
They travelled to every city via the brothers flying and according to Huang no matter how close or how far the city was the time it took to get there was always 1 hour. He also noted that the brothers could speak the local dialects of all the provinces they visited and whenever they went to hotels the brothers always had a "provincial-level introduction letter". One of the brothers always watched Huang while the other would borrow clothing such as police or military uniforms from somewhere Huang didn't know. Clothing and yuan for the accommodations and meals were the only items the brothers carried as they didn't seem to own items such as bags and wallets. Aside from their ability to fly to anywhere they wanted and their strange behaviour such as only carrying clothes and money, Huang said that they were seemingly normal human beings in every other aspect and ate and slept like anyone else. They also had the same body temperature as anyone else would The only rules they seemed to have were that Huang was not allowed to photograph them or anything and he couldn't keep any souvenirs from his trips. When Huang asked why they singled him out they wouldn't respond and when he asked if they could teach him how to fly like them or tell him how they learnt to do it they gave a firm "No" as their answer.
Just as they had told him in the 9 days he was missing they had visited 9 different cities. Huang was the talk of the village all over again and the superstitions that gods or ghosts were responsible continued. Eventually, the gossip around Huang had gotten to the point that the local police, propaganda department and the nearest military base had heard of Huang's story and began a very extensive investigation into Huang. Offical's believed that he was purposefully sabotaging the village's production and reputation and proceeded to classify him as a "class enemy" While being interrogated his behaviour was found to be "normal" and he showed no signs of mental illness or cognitive disorders. After they were unable to find any evidence of Huang being a threat they reluctantly let him go and revoked his "class enemy" status.
Huang's story became well known throughout China and is one of the country's most famous alleged paranormal events and even the government officially declares his case as "unexplained" This is not the end of Huang's story though.
On December 14, 2004, the case was reinvestigated by Zhang Jingping, an investigator of the Beijing Branch of the China UFO Association, Ji Jianmin, the chairman of the Feixiang UFO Association, and Dr. Wu, a famous Chinese hypnotist, professor of Peking University Medical Department. There was rather conclusive evidence of Huang's first two incidents as numerous witnesses as well as official telegrams all confirm that Huang had gone to sleep in his home village only to appear in Shanghai but there was far more doubt as to if he had been to any of the cities mentioned during his third disappearance.
Huang was put under hypnosis and asked what happened and he told the doctor the same story he did back in 1977. Huang eventually woke up from the hypnotic state claiming that one of the two brothers made him wake up. In 2004 a documentary was made by CCTV and several interviews and tests were conducted during the documentary. He was subjected to a polygraph test and he ended up failing the test and Huang refused to accept these results. Those administering the tests also admitted that Huang's declining memory, the 27-year gap between the test and the incident and the stress of being subjected to such a test for the first time may affect the results. During the documentary, the police based on Huang's descriptions also created
composite sketches of Gao Dengmin and Gao Yanjin. Due to the advancement in China's transportation infrastructure, Huang was brought to Nanjing and he was able to retrace his steps and attempt to recreate his journey from the sidewalk to the former then non-existent military base.
They then brought Huang to the physiatric division of Beijing Anding Hospital where the lead doctor after reading his statements said that the brothers would've been travelling at supersonic speeds and that Huang had been sleepwalking or lying. Although nobody defended him from claims of sleepwalking his fellow villagers all refused to entertain the possibility that Huang was purposefully lying to them. They cited Huang's lack of motivation or ability to travel, how he travelled to Shanghai in such a short amount of time and how he had no reason to lie about it since telling his story caused him to become a laughing stock and lost him his fiance. Huang quite literally gain nothing from telling this story and it severely affected him negatively. Aside from a lack of evidence others supporting the lying theory state that Huang only claimed to have visited major cities prompting some to speculate that he just picked them out from a map and that oddly enough he never visited Shijiazhuang which is the capital of Hebei, the province that Huang actually lives in.
Huang was examined by other psychologists and mental health professionals who deemed Huang to be sane which is the source of the sleepwalking theory.
As this theory suggests, Huang was sleepwalking when he made his way to Nanjing and that the stories of the two brothers were just dreams he had while sleepwalking. Various Chinese netizens don't view this theory as credible since Huang while sleepwalking would need to either walk all the way to the train station in Handan (which would take 4 hours to drive to by car) and buy a tick with money he didn't have all while asleep. And while still sleeping once the train stopped in Zhengzhou he would've sleepwalked onto the next train to Shanghai all with nobody noticing he was sleepwalking and waking him up. Just to be sure though doctors performed an MRI scan of Huang's brain and the results came back normal.
The third theory is that Huang suffered from multiple personality disorder and that Gao Dengmin and Gao Yanjin were in fact Huang himself and that he just perceived them as different people due to his disorder. The Gao personalities are the ones that actually travel to the locations only for Huang's normal personality to take over once he arrives at the destination hence him waking up. This theory also states that Huang flying on their backs is actually just a fantasy of Huang Yanqiu's repressed personality. This theory doesn't stand up to scrutiny as various Mental Health officials have found Huang sane and that he would've shown signs of multiple personality disorder before and after the three incidents. This theory also wouldn't explain the short travel times and Lü Qingtang's wife and son also witnessing the two as separate people.
There is one more theory though it is from those who want to believe that it is all real and that Huang is telling the truth and that UFOs may be involved.
They looked further into Huang's claims to try and find any proof that he was in the cities mentioned during his third disappearance. According to one source when describing the weather they matched up with geological data at the time but this appears to be unconfirmed. A journalist went to the Chang'an Grand Theater in Beijing to look through their records and see if they ever held the same performance Huang claimed to have seen.
He discovered that the theatre closed due to the 1976 Tangshan Earthquake and wouldn't reopen until 1979 meaning that Huang could not have seen any performances in that theatre. However, there was another theatre nearby named the Jixiang Theater and they were open in 1977 and on September 21, 1977, the day Huang claimed to be in Beijing they held a performance of
Forced Onto Mt. Liang. This journalist ruled that Huang hailing from a small and rural village could've easily confused two nearby and similar theatres in an unfamiliar environment such as the major city of Beijing.
There are also those who agree that Huang travelled at nearly supersonic speeds but instead have a more terrestrial explanation and that Huang fell victim to military experimentation.
This theory states that the military flew Huang to these cities for various experiments and that the Gao brothers were high-ranking officials in charge of the experiments. They then drugged Huang and made him undergo hypnosis to make him forget what he experienced. Many are skeptical of this theory because if the Chinese government wanted to conduct human experimentation they had a myriad of death row inmates and political prisons to draw upon so why instead abduct an innocuous rural farmer from his small village?
"The Huang Yanqiu Incident" remains one of China's most infamous unsolved mysteries but as of now, there have been no new developments as a now 67-year-old Huang has opted to live a quiet life in his village away from the cameras. The last bit of news from Huang came from 2008 when he underwent another round of mental evaluations

2023.04.01 12:35 Fluffy9345 Can I back out of buying a car if I haven’t picked it up yet?
We bought a used Hyundai sonata for my little sister for her first car. It’s been at the dealership since because they need to repair the blind spot monitor, give it new tires, and a couple of other thing that it was advertised with. We signed the loan for it. It was from a credit union. But we haven’t given the deposit yet. We decided we would give it when we pick up the car after it’s repaired. But it’s been over a week now with no update. Do we have any options or are we stuck? Or should we maybe speak to a lawyer or the credit union.

2023.04.01 12:34 PupBeau How concerning is my dog's bloodwork?
- Species: Dog
- Age: ~9
- Sex/Neuter status: Neutered male
- Breed: Mutt
- Body weight: 49lbs - underweight, recently lost 6lbs
- History: Brought to emergency vet on March 7th due to concerning behavior, followed up with normal vet on the 9th, given medication which he has completed. On March 7th around 2AM, he began excessively licking his lips and seemed uncomfortable. I thought he was going to vomit so I moved to take him outside, but he suddenly shot up out of his bed, became very stiff and vocalized loudly (screaming). I brought him outside and he stood just outside the door, body stiff with back legs extended so that he was leaning forward a bit. He did not want to move so I allowed him to stand there for a moment before ushering him back inside. Once he stepped inside he seemed to lose control of his bladder and urinated on the floor. He was brought back outside, and once in the yard assumed this position, in which he remained for roughly five minutes before slowly laying down. He was still reacting to me, aware and alert, but would not stand or move when called. I had to pick him up and carry him to the car as he would not stand. He yelped when picked up, which he has not done before when carried. The drive to the e-vet was ~20 minutes and by the time we arrived he was willing to stand and walk again. They x-rayed his abdomen, told us everything looked normal, and suggested it may be gas. They prescribed carprofen which he only took for one day before normal vet said to discontinue use. Brought home, seemed normal for a few hours, and then the same symptoms reoccurred at 6AM. Began acting more normal after the episode, but was unable to hold his bladder and urinated in the house multiple times spontaneously (no squatting, though he normally squats when he urinates). When brought to normal vet, they suggested it may be an infection or something neurological. They prescribed clindamycin, sucralfate, omeprazole, and prednisolone. All meds were taken to completion except sucralfate, which we were told we could stop using once his other meds were used up. Bloodwork was run and results sent to us, but no discussion as to what it indicated, if anything. We were told a return visit was not necessary as he was back to normal behavior at the time. Tonight he refused dinner and seemed a little "off", so I am worried whatever episode he had may be about to reoccur. I am mostly curious about what his bloodwork indicates. A few names are bolded on it to show that levels were high or low, but we were not told what these high and low levels indicate. Bloodwork is attached below, if you could give insight on what the high/low levels may indicate it would be much appreciated. I know nothing about what the levels mean, but his lymphocytes seem very low from what I can tell. He ran out of clindamycin first, then prednisolone, and then omeprazole a few days later. He began rejecting food two days after running out of omeprazole. Not sure if that's relevant to his symptoms returning.
- Clinical signs: Lack of appetite, sudden pain, lethargy, increased water intake, increased urination, inability to control bladder, unwilling to move when called, suspected abdominal pain, drooling, stiffness when standing, panting, nausea (but no vomiting).
- Duration: Showed symptoms for 2 days when first began - disappeared once on medication given by regular vet. Has been out of meds for 2 days and has begun rejecting food again. Would not eat his kibble, cat food, hot dogs, or cheese. I did get him to eat two boiled chicken breasts - but he ate very reluctantly and slowly. Seems to be drinking more water again as well, more panting. Other symptoms have not yet returned but I am worried they will return as well.
- Your general location: Florida, USA.
- Links to test results, vet reports, X-rays etc.: Blood work.

2023.04.01 12:26 The_ShaolinMonk what are your thoughts on a conditional q mechanic
what if riot reworked azir q where it does no damage but slows and amplifies the soldier auto attacks in some way IF it hits an enemy
it could be like extra soldier attack speed for (?) seconds or soldiers apply on-hit effects for (?) seconds(the latter is unlikely, but it could give us at least some use out of the item passive). i feel like the removal of q damage removes the poke that riot hates and focuses azirs damage more into his soldier auto attack damage.
thoughts?

2023.04.01 12:19 mb1382 Cases in Australia / Perth
Hi Team
TLDR - noob in Perth cant work out appropriate case to buy, appears potential models available overseas arent on offer locally. Tightarse noob wants to see and feel premium offerings before dropping most of a green note (if not more). Noob also scared of battery issues with wireless charging and case magnets. Please help noob.
Most sincere thanks in advance for any assistance offered.

Looking for advice on the best case for me given what appears to be a local supply issue. In researching best cases etc, reviews on international websites give recommendations for brands that do not appear to be available locally.
I have done a brief search for this topic with no luck; if I am duplicating a thread elsewhere please point me in that direction.
As background, I have been a Galaxy user forever, but dont keep up to date with the detail between needing an upgrade. I would generally do several weeks of research prior to making the plunge, but it so happened I urgently needed a new phone as the S23 series was being released and the prerelease discount offered by Optus suckered me in to upgrading to the 512gb Ultra without getting up to date on a lot of recent advances. The phone is fantastic btw, no issues there... for various reasons I had last had a new S series in early 2017 and replaced this in late 2021 with an A5..1? That is pertinent in that other than the absolute performance upgrade, there have been generational improvements in areas like wireless charging, screen protection, etc for which I am really behind the curve.
I am extraordinarily clumsy I wasted no time in purchasing the cheapest case and plastic screen protector available as insurance while researching the most appropriate case. My resesrch has given multiple reviews by international websites recommending brands like UAG, Mous, Casemate, but in wandering around the various shoppng malls across the suburbs and looking for .au websites I am unable to find any other than Samsung branded or cheap plastic cases.
Advice is requested from those in Australia/WA/Perth... what case have you decided upon, what influenced your decision and where was it sourced? Have you gone plastic or glass screen protector?
I am concerned about degradation of tye battery through magnets in the case interacting with wireless charging, but I do not understand this issue st all. I do not have an absolute need to use wireless charging, have Android Auto which requires wired connection which charges and am at home or the office can plug in to the wall. I would possibly by a wireless charging pad, but a wireless magnetic powerbank might be useful, and attaching to my car mount magnetically is a feature that I would give at least some value to, and if Android Auto ever managed to go completely wireless it would be of significant value.
I have found I use the SPen religiously... any cases or screens interfering with its functionality would be a signifificant hindrance.
Have also considered a lens protector... thoughts on this also appreciated.

2023.04.01 12:18 osikalk About the effectiveness of detecting cheating using a phone, iPod, etc.
It's amazing how many people are trying to identify the facts of cheating and get evidence using phones, iPads and other modern gadgets, relying only on them. Of course, cheaters are not always able to cover up electronic traces, but if they want, they have plenty of opportunities to deceive the most meticulous partner.
What techniques do you know that cheaters use to communicate with APs in order to remain unpunished? In my experience and the experience gained on the Internet these are:
- Phones hidden from the partner, disposable phones.
- False accounts, passwords (most frequently).
- Using phones, iPods and computers of accomplices, including close relatives.
- Use of office phones, iPods and computers to which their partners do not have access.
- Voice contacts carried out in places where they cannot be overheard, including in the cars.
- Exchange of paper letters by mail or through messengers (the good old remedy).

2023.04.01 12:15 AutoModerator April What Editing Software should I use?
Are you looking to pick editing software? THIS IS YOUR THREAD.
TL;DR - you want DaVinci Resolve Resolve, Hitfilm Express, Olive Editor or Kdenlive.
Seriously, read This whole post!
This post solves 98% of
"what software do I use" questions.
There are key steps you need to take before you reply if you want help. Especially the last sentence.
----------------
THREE THINGS YOU HAVE TO KNOW.
These three things are crucial (spoiler tag to make you read):
- Footage type (See below)
- Hardware/System specs. Just saying "HD or 4k" doesn't help
- Even if you don't want something "fancy", you still need to read this.
- IF YOU DO NOT START YOUR REPLY with the proper format, you won't get a response.
Much of this comes from our fuller Wiki page on software.
If you get to the end of this post and you need more, check there first.
For example, MOBILE EDITING SOLUTIONS are in the wiki. Nobody is an expert on all of the tools.
Trying it with your system and footage is the best way to work. -------------------------------
1 - Footage type. Know what you're cutting.
FOOTAGE TYPE AFFECTS playback. READ THAT AGAIN. The compression type is key. Action cam, Mobile phone, and screen recordings can be difficult to edit, due to h264/5 material (especially 1080p60 or 4k) and Variable Frame Rate issues..
AGAIN: Footage types like 1080p60, 4k (any frame rate) are going to stress your system. When your system struggles, the way that the
professional industry has handled this for
decades is to use Proxies.
Proxies are a copy of your media in a lower resolution and possibly a "friendlier" codec.
A
proxy workflow more than any other feature, is what makes editing high frame rate, 4k oand h264/5 footage possible.
It is important to know if your software has this capability.
See our wiki about*
Variable Frame Rate*
Why h264/5 is hard*
Proxy editing -------
2- Key Hardware suggestions:
The suggested hardware minimums for the "average" user
- A recent i7 (due to intel Quick Sync)
- 16GB of RAM
- A GPU with 2+ GB of GPU RAM
- An SSD (for cache files.)
Can other hardware work?
Certainly - but may not necessarily provide a great experience.
GPUS do not help with the codec/playback of media but do help with visual effects. We have a dedicated hardware thread monthly. Hardware questions belong there. -------------
3- I Just need something simple. I don't need all those effects.
Sadly, having
super easy-to-use software means engineering teams*.*
iMovie came with your Mac and is by far the easiest-to-use editor for either platform.
There isn't a lightweight, easy-to-use free/inexpensive editor that we'd recommend for Windows the way we recommend iMovie. We wish iMovie was available for windows.
The closest we've seen on windows is Olive editor (open source) ----
Okay, so what do you suggest?
Editing
Two tools that charge but have
very usable free versions.
- DaVinci Resolve - Needs a strong video card/hardware. Max size (free) is UHD. Full version for $299. Mac/Win/Linux. Full proxy workflow. An excellent tool if your hardware can handle it.
- Hit Film - freemium - no watermark. Extra features at a price. Mac/Win. Full proxy workflow. You don't have to buy their packs for text (you can do it manually). Their "intro" packs aren't terrible. This has some after-effects-like features - but has little professional adoption.
I want Easy
Know that any of these tools are limited - many "advanced" features aren't ever going to be available here and there is no growth to a professional market.
- Adobe Rush - Free, but.. - Win/Mac/Android/iOS. Easy to use, free software. No watermarks. You must create an Adobe account, but you don't have to buy anything. You will have to buy a subscription if you want: mobile to desktop transfer or Rush to Premiere transfer.
- ClipChamp, bought by Microsoft. It's not terrible. Has a freemium tier.
- CapCut - they have mobile tools. Our biggest warning is that while they have some interesting features, anything really good is buried into a subscription for the app.
I want the tools that professionals use:
In
alphabetical order:
These
all have costs, some of them are subscription only. If you're thinking you want to move in the future to doing this professionally, we'd suggest Premiere for
most people.
- Adobe Premiere Pro
- Apple Final Cut Pro
- Avid Media Composer
- BMD DaVinci Resolve
Open Source tools
Open source tools. We think these are great - but there is no UI team/support - Kdenlive -Open source with proxy workflows. Windows/Linux. Full proxy workflow. Good for low-end computers. Standard color-grading tools. Some features that are locked behind a paywall (in Hitfilm such) as glitch effects and spot removal are available for free. Lacks in VFX/ text tool barebones.
- Olive Editor Easier than Kdenlive - but in the middle of a major rewrite - may be unstable. .1 is easy, but unsupported. .2 is being actively developed - but has less features.
- ShotCut - Linux/Windows/Mac. Lesser features than Kdenlive (e.g not a lot of color-grading effects in comparison). Has a proxy workflow, though it's not as good as Kdenlive either.
We mention other tools in the wiki, but generally, nobody has bought/tested the tools at \$100 or less. And we're not suggesting the "bigger" tools but happen to discuss them. 99% of people who come here are looking to play for zero dollars.)
Effects
- Hit Film - freemium - no watermark. Extra features at a price. Mac/Win. Full proxy workflow. You don't have to buy their packs for text (you can do it manually). Their "intro" packs aren't terrible. This has some after effects like features - but has little professional adoption.
- Calvary (free tier) - This is a dynamic cross platform motion graphic tool that has a very powerful free tier.
Web Sites worth noting
- RunwayML - A paid web tool that has some free features. Of note, it's AI ability to remove (you only get access to a lower res version for free). Also has a rudimentary editor.
Compression
Shutter Encoder is a free, cross-platform compression tool. It's a GUI front end to FFMPEG (a command-line utility.) It does more than handbrake, our prior favorite.
- It can do a variety of conversions, including H264, HEVC, ProRes, and DNxHD/HR.
- It can trim a video without re-encoding (it's not an editor, a trimmer in this case)
- It can convert a Variable Frame Rate video to Constant frame rate in h264 (but we'd recommend converting to an edit-friendly codec)
Lossless cut is an excellent tool to "snip" out a section of what you downloaded. Shutter does this too, but Lossless is a little easier.
Mobile
- iOS Free: iMovie
- iOS Paid: Lumafusion
- Android (and Chromebooks that run Android apps): Kinemaster
- Capcut (just really, REALLY watch that they quickly become a subscription tool.)
-------
Nov 2022.
Clipchamp. Capcut.
Professional tools aren't suggested - because invariably, someone comes into this thread asking why we don't suggest a $600/yr subscription for hobby editors.
------
Feb 2023
Yes, we're watching the space about ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion and more. But there isn't an auto editor, not based on text description - not yet. And certainly not for free.
If you have tools you think are AI editorial tools, post them here.
This exists to answer the question, "What AI tool will edit for me."
-------
If you've read all of that, start your post/reply:
"I read the above and have a more nuanced question:"
And copy (fill out) the following information as needed:
My system
My media
- (Camera, phone, download)
- Codec
- Software I'm using/intend to use:
---
(And just because some people get confused by this each month:
This thread isn't for you to argue what is best - it's to help others understand what their software needs are to have a good editorial experience.
They ask questions (based on the format in the thread), and we give answers.)
Seriously, if you don't
start your reply with "I read the above and have a more nuanced question", likely the response will be
slower. submitted by
