我其實開咗好多唔同的email戶口, 又hotmail, 又google, 又doramail之類, 不過我一直主要都係用yahoo. Yahoo當然係廢, 又多spam, 幾年前仲有security breach, 不過好多嘢係register咗跟email, 基於懶惰的原因, 就求求其其一直到現在都仲用緊.
不過, 自從幾年前, 我開始覺得用Yahoo真係好唔安全, 所以開始轉用Protonmail, 不過都只係開始轉換, 好多重要的email依然係會自動去咗Yahoo嗰邊. 我真係要的起心肝, 將D戶口轉晒新email佢, 不過真係會好大工程, 同埋好易會漏 sosad
Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) 公佈, 喺Cave of Horror搵到一些之前未被發現的死海古卷, 同埋另外一些古物. 呢單嘢同其他成日傳出話發現了新的死海古卷唔同, 今次是堅料, 由真正的考古學家帶領的團隊發現, 係六十年以來第一次有新的死海古卷出土.
學者早在五十年代就已經相當熟悉 Cave of Horror, 當年有幾廿個抵擋或逃避羅馬的猶太人死喺呢個洞穴, 所以個改咗個咁o既名. 當年希臘文小先知書古卷 (8HevXII gr) 就係喺呢度被發現. 我睇D新聞, 似乎今次新發現到廿幾份古卷碎片, 目前D學者睇到的碎片內容, 都係希臘文的小先知書抄本, 合乎預期之內.
一般人講死海古卷, 好多都係講喺昆蘭周遭洞穴出土的古卷, Cave of Horror係喺Nahal Hever, 不過其中發現的文獻都算係死海古卷.
梁燕城喺佢題為《中國新疆在壓迫和清洗維族人？》嗰集節目的末段話:
「如果新疆人, 自從1953年四百幾萬人, 如果被種族清洗, 到而家應該剩下幾多人呢? 咁而家竟然變咗二千幾萬人, 咁係唔係種族清洗呀? 真係講大話都要有數據先得o架.」
基於呢段說話, 令我十分懷疑, 梁燕城是咪其實唔知種族清洗的定義, 就開集節目講種族清洗. 根據聯合國接納的定義:
//In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
- Killing members of the group;
- Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
- Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
- Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
- Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.//
除咗"killing members of the group"之外, 其他四種行為都係唔會立即令人口大副下降的, 所以梁燕城呢個自以為十分勁抽有力的反證, 根本都唔係point嚟, 只曝露出佢連少少功課都唔做就喺節目亂up.
梁燕城話喎, 中共冇清洗維吾爾族人, 因為中共冇必要咁做. 又話記者Maxime Vivas都出咗本書, 同佢的觀點一致, 就好似當年佢引用發現到巴別塔、約櫃、耶穌一滴血的考古學家Ron Wyatt嚟作為佢搵到挪亞方舟的佐證一樣.
最搞笑係佢自詡對新疆有深入研究, 同時取笑一個同佢持相反意見的人唔係知名大學的學者, 只係獨立研究員. 咁你自己都係獨立研究員啦, 唔通你係新疆研究的學者咩.
結尾仲話, 佢去check過, 而家新疆人口仲有多人, 好明顯冇種族清洗發生過. 梁燕城唔知是咪已進化到連報紙都唔睇了, 因為而家冇人話中共喺新疆開槍大屠殺, 而係基於雲彩一般的見證去指責中共監禁、虐待、強制絕育維吾爾族人, 呢D唔係會令人口即時下降的.
之前提過, 我都好有興趣想學多 D 關於 Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM) 的知識. 我都真係有去搵D書同文章嚟睇o架, 不過真係睇到一舊雲, 直至我睇到呢篇文章:
//Criticisms of the CBGM are always welcomed, and we are eager to incorporate suggestions for improving it. Unfortunately we were not able to use Carlson’s publication as fodder for making improvements because his article evinces a general lack of understanding of the method....The core problem of Carlson’s article is that he does not seem to understand the overall concept of the CBGM....Carlson's assumption that there is bias in the CBGM is the result of misunderstandings and wrong application....In only selectively and superficially engaging with the relevant literature, Carlson’s article has unfortunately cultivated a new series of misunderstandings about the CBGM and its functionalities, most of which could have been avoided had he just made use of my entry level “Introductory Presentation.”//
早幾個星期, 公司安排我地Home Office, 每個星期有兩日返公司就OK, 減低出外搭車之類的風險, 不過呢個星期又回復返Office Office. 其實都正常, 因為政府多次封區、驗嚟驗去, 但又連環食白果, 好難令人覺得香港目前疫情係嚴重到搭車返工會死人.
但係, 早幾個星期的Home Office對我嚟講係perfect timing, 因為嗰段時間我身體突然變差咗好多, 相信係血壓同血管問題, 喺腳上有D復元得好慢的小傷口出現. 所以喺嗰段有得多D留喺屋企的時間, 可以多D時間休養, 俾佢慢慢好. 我亦喺呢段時間, 真係第一次去睇醫生處理血壓問題, 按醫生指示去驗呢樣驗嗰樣, 呢段時間係容易好多. 例如, 其中一樣嘢係要留晒全日所有的尿去驗, 咁要返辧公室係冇可能帶住成個桶周圍去 sosad
Anyway, 雖然老婆覺得我好虧, 但驗身證實我身體冇乜事, 肝腎功能正常, 搵唔出血壓高的原因 (去睇醫生之前嗰日突破200), 可能純粹係天生遺傳, 不過食住藥就會去返正常水平, 醫生甚至冇叫我戒口之類, 而記得食藥對我嚟講係易如反掌.
受萬人景仰的基督教護教家 Ravi Zacharias 舊年去世, 喺佢生前都已經有性醜聞的指控出現, 不過當時係『處理』咗, 並冇全面發酵. 不過喺佢死後, 更多受害人出面指證, 得到Christian Times報導, 逼令美國宣道會同埋Ravi Zacharias International Ministries都展開正式調查, 目前已有共識, Ravi Zacharias確實係有性騷擾多名女性, 其中一個受害人以強姦嚟形容佢地之間的性關係. 其實除咗性醜聞之外, 當我睇呢D報告的時候, 似乎亦有亂用機構奉獻的問題, 因為似乎佢係有使用公款嚟養住一D女仔.
搞笑o既係, 條友仔曾經用自己嚟威脅D女仔唔好爆響口, 因為咁會令好多人跌倒 sosad. 首先, 令人跌倒嗰個係佢, 點會變咗係受害人的責任? 第二, 雖然有些事的真相確實係會永遠湮沒, 但其實好多好事壞事, 最終還是會水落石出.
RZIM發起的獨立調查報告:
https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/rzimmedia.rzim.org/assets/downloads/Report-of-Investigation.pdf
//Only one of the witnesses we interviewed said that Mr. Zacharias engaged in sexual intercourse. This witness reported details of many encounters over a period of years that she described as rape. To protect her identity, this report does not disclose many of the details she shared with us. Some information is related below because aspects of Mr. Zacharias’s behavior towards this witness were similar to his conduct with other therapists, specifically: the use of ministry funds to provide financial support, the effort to elicit personal information about a difficult past, and Mr. Zacharias’s use of religious language during their encounters.
This witness told us that their relationship began as a normal massage therapist-client relationship, and she came to think of him as a father figure. He elicited information about her faith and her financial situation. She reported that after he arranged for the ministry to provide her with financial support, he required sex from her. According to this witness, Mr. Zacharias used religious expressions to gain compliance, as she was raised to be a person of faith. She reported that he made her pray with him to thank God for the “opportunity” they both received. She said he called her his “reward” for living a life of service to God, and he referenced the “godly men” in the Bible with more than one wife. She said he warned her not ever to speak out against him or she would be responsible for the “millions of souls” whose salvation would be lost if his reputation was damaged.
A number of aspects of this account involved similar behavior and escalation as the accounts of other therapists who would not have known each other and who treated Mr. Zacharias in different contexts over time. The therapists he reportedly targeted for “more than a massage” discussed a similar modus operandi of building their trust and making them feel at ease. As one put it, he “wasn’t frisky initially.” Some therapists described a process that began with probing conversation and him asking about their families and backgrounds, often delving into deeply personal issues such as financial struggles or emotionally broken backgrounds. For example, one therapist reported that Mr. Zacharias spent the first half of their first massage session asking about her spiritual journey and prior abuse. This set her at ease and made her feel that he cared for her as a person before he later asked her to massage his genitals. Another woman reported that he would talk about her career plans and efforts to improve her financial situation while he was massaging her breasts. She never came forward because she thought, “who would believe me” against a famous Christian leader. Some therapists also reported that Mr. Zacharias paid very well or would leave large tips and gave gifts that were at times lavish, such as a Persian rug or a Louis Vuitton wallet with $500 inside.//
美國宣道會聲明:
//Recent independent investigations commissioned by both the C&MA and Ravi Zacharias International Ministries confirmed the accusations made by massage therapists that he engaged in sexual misconduct. He then constructed elaborately deceptive schemes to conceal his activity. This evidence clearly establishes that Mr. Zacharias preyed on women, violating the trust of those who were particularly vulnerable, during the time he was credentialed by the C&MA. The evidence also confirms that this pattern of behavior was longstanding.//
CT其中一篇報導 (有中文版):
以前讀書嗰時, 雖然我一些同學同阿sir係研究新約textual criticism, 但我本人只知道一些極皮毛的基本知識. 最近周圍亂睇嘢, 留意到近年好多關於新約textual criticism的討論, 都係同Coherence-Based Genealogical Method (CBGM)有關. 呢個似乎係一個新的研究方法/方向, 尤其影響到新版Nestle-Aland希臘文聖經的一些決定同取捨, 搞到我都有些好奇想知多D.
而家我download定一堆相關的文章, 試下我會唔會睇得明. 呢度有其中一個超簡易版本的blog post: http://evangelicaltextualcriticism.blogspot.com/2017/01/the-cbgm-in-one-sentence.html
玩完The Medium了. 隻game完全唔驚, 但係氣氛唔錯, 我鍾意佢花好多時間去慢慢講個故事出來, 冇Layers of Fear咁印象深刻, 但亦相當唔錯, 故事元素包括有兇殺案、撞鬼、禁聲的暴力、超能力, 都係會令我感興趣的部份. 畫面質素正常, 不過將畫面一開二, 一半交代現實世界、一半交代靈界的表現方式, 似乎都唔少人覺得幾好.
不過有兩大缺點: 1) 隻game目前係poorly optimized, 我相信對大部人嚟講, 唔係一隻可以consistently行到60fps的game, 但以佢咁o既畫面, 唔應該咁樣; 2) 間公司應該都知佢地唔擅長整動作game, 所以呢隻game的stealth同追逐部份, 全部都係相當垃圾, cut晒佢、專心講故事仲好. 但整體算唔錯啦, 係一隻我會玩到尾然後覺得滿足的game.
