女多男少一直是美國高教惱人的問題, 最近幾年又變得更嚴重。2020 到 2021 學年度, 有59.5% 大學生是女性, 男生只有40.5%, 足足差了將近二十個百分點。其中又以低收入家庭的白人男性最不願意上大學, 他們比低收入家庭的黑人和西語裔男生更沒意願念書。例如德州的貝勒大學男生只占四成, 這還是校方刻意壓低男生錄取標準的結果, 男生比女生的錄取率高了 7%。然後男大學生又比女大學生容易輟學。不出幾年, 美國會出現每兩個女性大學畢業生只有一個男性畢業生。

當然很多人會說, 為什麼一定要念大學? 那張畢業證書不是必要。的確, 美國有一堆不錯的工作不要求大學學歷, 一樣可以晉升中產階級。例如很多跟房屋相關的工作 (仲介, 貸放款, 房屋裝修等等), 以及不少男生最愛的警察和軍人工作。但一般來說, 沒有學歷的人收入就是明顯低很多, 一輩子都難翻身。

此外, 離家上大學是很多鄉下人離開同溫層的第一個機會, 也可能是他們此生唯一的機會。進入大學, 他們才有可能遇見來自四面八方, 背景不同 思想不同的人, 並學到獨立思考和批判性思考的能力。缺乏這些能力, 他們只能等著被政客耍弄欺騙。

是否支持川普和保守派的一大關鍵就是大學學歷。投票給川普的人數隨著學歷上升而遞減。2016 和 2020 兩次總統大選中, 過半的女性投給了進步派, 而過半的男性投票給保守派。學歷不足而憤世嫉俗的白人男性正是保守派最容易拉攏的一群人。

'Fast-forward flashback'

While the minutes pass, we go back for hours...

Fast-forward flashback consists of a black square acrylic board with the hour marks of a clock. However, the marks are tubes with electro-luminescent wires that follow the sizes of the famous 12 Chinese pitch pipes arranged together looking like a sun. On the board, it says ‘Kunlun' 崑崙,
a calligraphy painted in white.

The Chinese music system has twelve pitch pipes (shi’er lü 十二律). Legend has it that the Yellow Emperor 黃帝 had a minister, Ling Lun 伶倫, who listened to the song of the phoenix at Mount Kunlun 崑崙. Ling Lun then used the majestic bird’s sounds to conceive the Chinese 12-tone musical system.

In Fast-forward flashback, phoenix tail feathers are the clock hands. They are made from blank aluminium, cut and sanded by hand by the artists. The minutes (tall feather) go clockwise but hours (small feather) go counter-clockwise. The artists designed a fourth gear to reverse the direction of the small feather and then had a clockmaker create it and put it inside a (tower) clockwork. When a feather passes a tube, the tube changes colour and sounds the related pitch.

Although the Fast-forward flashback clock has a 12-hours dial, the two phoenix feathers run on 24-hours clock speed. How time flies and how we cramp two days into one. The hurries and the worries, what urban folly. By adding to the clockwork a ‘fourth gear,’ which makes the small feather run counter-clockwise, going twice as fast forward is going twice as fast backward. When we think about the past, we nevertheless move on, irreversibly widening the distance...

If trading is your only source of income, you’re putting yourself at a disadvantage psychologically.

Why?

Because you will have the need to make money every month.

This causes you to make poor trading decisions like widening your stop loss, averaging into losers, trading too large, etc.

And that’s why many professional traders do not rely on trading as their only source of income.

For example:
- Mark Minervini, a Stock Market Wizard, offers a master trader program that cost $5,000
- Most hedge funds (even the best ones) charge a management fee every year —even if it’s a losing year

To put things in perspective, if you run a billion-dollar hedge fund and take a 2% management fee, it means you get $20m a year — guaranteed.

As you can see, professional traders and hedge funds structure their trading in a way that it’s not their only source of income.

This means if you have a job, you have a source of income every month no matter what. This allows you to focus on your trading without having to worry whether you can pay the bills this month, or not.

Til now I still cannot believe that I had the honour to do a solo Bollywood dance performance in 7th Bollywood and Multicultural Dance Festival in Athens, Greece on 7th July 2019. This was my second time performing a solo dance overseas but my first time to have such a big outdoor stage all for myself! Flaws are there in each of my performance but each time I do try my best which really matters. Each stage experience is unique and has provided me an opportunity to improve by widening my horizons about performing.

I believe all of us are on a certain quest for something in our life, while dance and love are the biggest aspects for me. Lost / Found is always how I am in dance and love. So when they asked for a title of my dance, Lost / Found pretty summarized it because it was a dance about love.

Many thanks to:
- Organizers of Bollywood & Multicultural Dance Festival (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0qh-8JrUM8AX8erprSSRfA) for arranging such an amazing festival to share our Indian dance love to the world
- Beyond Bollywood (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSnOaVnXMtNabKHqaF3qfgw) for including me into their big dance family and trusting me in performing for them
- my dearest Master Sannthosh (https://www.youtube.com/c/sannthoshkonathala) for not only letting me present his choreography in an international dance platform but also EVERYTHING because without you I'm nothing in Bollywood dance

My dance is not perfect but I hope you can feel my joy and my love in my videos!

Dance enables you to find and lose yourself at the same time...

This channel is created by a crazy Hong Kong girl named Yuki Leung who is in love with dance & obsessed with Indian arts & cultures. Stepping into the 10th year of my dance journey in 2018, I've decided to take up a new challenge - to do my own choreography. I hope I can fill this channel up with dances which spread positive vibes to the world.

Although I'm not a professional dancer, dancing has been an important part of my life ever since I stepped into a Bollywood dance class in 2008. "Keep learning~ Keep dancing~" is what I'm doing to challenge and improve myself, my personality and my life as a whole.

I have been under guidance and training from Master Sannthosh (http://www.youtube.com/c/sannthoshkonathala) on various types of dances since 2012 and a disciple of Oxana Banshikova (Founder of Cosmic Dance - https://www.youtube.com/user/Cosmic1Dance) on Bharatanatyam since 2009.

Thank you for supporting in making subtitle!

J.R. Smith was a one-man breakaway, his eyes widening as he sprang toward the basket, the ball rising over his head for a rim-rattling windmill dunk.

Clank!

It bounced off the iron and back toward halfcourt, the crowd moaning and coach George Karl nearly tipping over backward in his chair.

That one play both epitomized the Nuggets' shoddy, senseless play Saturday night and ignited the short-handed Sacramento Kings to a surprising 118-115 win that dealt the Nuggets a blow to their playoff plans.

"There's no reason for this team to come in here and beat us on our own floor, as good as we were playing on this floor," Allen Iverson said after the Nuggets fell to 31-8 at home. "They were playing without their two best players. No reason for it. It's unacceptable."

Kevin Martin scored 36 points despite missing Sacramento's shootaround with the stomach flu and the Kings capitalized on Kenyon Martin's one-game suspension by getting 29 points from Francisco Garcia and 23 from Mikki Moore.

"We didn't have a stopper mentality, a guy that could help us with those guys," lamented Karl, who was so incensed at K-Mart's suspension that he had a heated conversation with NBA executive vice president Stu Jackson earlier in the week.

The Kings, out of playoff contention and missing Ron Artest (thumb) and Brad Miller (leg), won their fourth straight game and snapped Denver's nine-game home winning streak. They took advantage of sloppy play and silly mistakes by the Nuggets, who got 47 points from Carmelo Anthony, two shy of his career high.

Kevin Martin gave them more than they could have hoped for, sinking all 13 of his free throws and converting a trio of 3-pointers.

"Kevin was not healthy," Kings coach Reggie Theus said. "He played through it. His stomach was hurting. He didn't even make it to shooting practice. I wasn't sure I was even going to play him. Kevin said he wanted to play, and you saw the results."

Instead of moving into a seventh-place tie with Dallas, Denver fell into a tie with idle Golden State for the eighth and final playoff spot in the wild Western Conference. The Nuggets visit the Warriors on Thursday night in a game that's suddenly a must-win.

"The sun will come up tomorrow and we're still tied," Karl said. "We kind of gave back the little bit that we've earned. But giving up 118 points to that team was disappointing."

Artest was a late scratch with a strained left thumb, seemingly negating any advantage Sacramento might have had facing a Nuggets team without Kenyon Martin, who had to sit out after picking up his sixth flagrant foul of the season.

Despite playing poorly, the Nuggets had a chance on their final possession to send the game into overtime.

After a timeout with 4.3 seconds left, J.R. Smith inbounded the ball to Marcus Camby, who gave it right back, but Smith's 3-pointer at the buzzer bounced off the front of the iron and high off the backboard.

"He's the best guy on our team making the tough 3, and with four seconds to go, you're probably going to get a tough 3," Karl said. "And I've seen him make the shot he took."

Linas Kleiza started in place of Kenyon Martin and scored 28 points, 21 in the first 18 minutes, helping Denver take a 41-32 lead. The Nuggets looked as if they were going to cruise to an easy win even without K-Mart, by far their best player over the last 1 1/2 months.

It was the Kings, however, who went to the locker room with a 59-56 lead behind 17 first-half points from their own K-Mart.

"In the second quarter we lost our discipline, our mental direction," Karl said. "We thought the game was going to be easy. J.R. missed a dunk and we kind of got sloppy with the basketball."

Iverson cringed as the Nuggets began to fritter away their early 12-point lead.

"They just played better than us, and there's no reason for that. As serious as this game was, and the magnitude of this game, there's no reason for it," he said. "I told 'Melo during the first half when they came back and took the lead and the momentum was going their way, I told him I didn't feel good about this game."

And now he doesn't feel so good about the Nuggets' tenuous hold on a playoff spot, either.

"I'm definitely concerned if we're going to play like this," Iverson said. "We've got to play better teams than them down the stretch. I'm confident, but, yeah, I'm concerned."
