#貝魯特 港口大爆炸剛好滿一年了，大家在今天哀悼逝去的親人，同時也很憤怒這場造成 #214人死亡、#至少6500人受傷 的事故，至今政府不僅不公布真相，也沒有高級官員沒出來負責。

#黎巴嫩 政府真的非常腐敗，高級官員們擁有 #豁免權，可以逃掉司法調查和質問。

此外 #法官 的職業生涯掌握在 #高級司法委員會，他們可以看不順眼就把你調走、阻止你晉升。委員會大部分成員是由當權者提名，也就是說，#行政權和司法權綁在一起，嚴重缺乏司法獨立性！

原本國家經濟就因為疫情雪上加霜，加上去年的貝魯特港口爆炸案，讓黎巴嫩人民在過去一年又悲傷、又憤怒。如果連一個 #民選政府 都不能開鍘該負責的官員、監督事後的改進有無落實，不覺得很諷刺嗎？

像今年臺灣的 #太魯閣號出軌事故 ，《紐約時報》有針對此事寫了分析文，提到：

「運安會的調查人員告訴時報，台鐵並沒有徹底落實它所承諾的改進工作。例如，李綱表示，儘管台鐵做出了承諾，但仍 #沒有制定正式、#全面的報告、#維修問題的程序」

不管是貝魯特爆炸案，還是太魯閣號出軌，希望任何工安意外都被檢討、並確實做出改進，不然如何安慰死者與其家屬，活著的人也不想整日擔心受怕吧？（尤其我超怕死又常坐火車）

WINNER/ VISION FOR POST COVID-19 STREETS AND SPACE

COVID-19 對人們的生活及生活方式造成破壞性的影響，當工作、生活及活動區域縮到只剩視線範圍可見時，戶外/自然可能是唯一的嚮往。

此設計案提出自然生態可以以一種平衡的方式被引入各條不起眼的小巷，繁榮而有彈性的街道景觀就在家門外。
回歸大地/ BACK DOWN TO EARTH
剝去柏油及硬空間，利用開拓性的技術來減少城市結構的碳足跡，使城市的居民與自然重新連接起來。

這樣的景觀對於在台灣的你，喜歡嗎？

‘This is the street where we work – an unremarkable street, full of tarmac and cars. It is exactly this type of street where an environmental revolution could take root – responding to post COVID-19 opportunities and the climate emergency, to radically rethink our urban streets, for the sake of humanity.’

#Editorial AppleDailyHK｜"Xi Jinping’s speech at the Davos Forum was unremarkable and failed to impress Biden. The relationship between the U.S. and China will remain stagnant, and the CCP is not in a good position whether it uses force or not."

Always only a stone’s throw away from one another, manhole covers in Hong Kong are as ubiquitous as convenience stores. For the past six years, this seemingly unremarkable yet indispensable part of public facilities has been a fascinating object of study for the 19-year-old visual arts student Monster Kwok. Her obsession goes beyond snapping thousands of photos and designing t-shirts with manhole covers printed on them, on her right arm is also a manhole cover-inspired monster tattoo.

The Central and Western District, one of the earliest developed areas in the colonial era, is home to the increasingly rare manhole covers manufactured by British foundries. Kwok is still amazed by the red manhole covers and fire hydrants outside Admiralty Centre. Lined up in a neat row, the hatches are so well-preserved that the paint job looks as good as new. “Red manhole covers indicate that the pipe carries potable water, yellow signals salt water and blue means the pipe is suspended for repair. All manhole covers near fire hydrants were engraved with ‘FH’ that stands for fire hydrant.”
