🔥 China Said African Swine Fever Was Stable. Then Cases Climbed Again.
中國稱非洲豬瘟疫情穩定，但病豬數量再次攀升

- African swine fever 非洲豬瘟
✍️ swine 除了「豬」之外，罵人「下流坯子」時也會用這個字。

🧐 As China has largely brought the coronavirus pandemic under control within its borders, another highly contagious disease—one affecting livestock—is reappearing and raising questions about the accuracy of the country’s reporting.
中國已大致控制住了國內的新冠疫情，但另一種會影響牲畜的高傳染性疾病卻再次出現，引發各界質疑中國疫情報告的準確性。

- under control 得到控制；在控制中
- within its borders 直譯是「在…國境內」，也就是「國內」的意思。
- reappear 再次出現

🙅🏻‍♂️For about four months from mid-November last year, pig farms in China reported no new cases of African swine fever, the deadly hemorrhagic disease that last year resulted in the loss of around 120 million hogs in the country. Chinese authorities said in February that the epidemic situation was stable.
從去年11月中旬開始的大約四個月內，中國的養豬場沒有報告新的非洲豬瘟病例，非洲豬瘟是一種致命的出血性疾病，去年導致中國約1.2億頭豬死亡，中國有關部門2月份曾表示，非洲豬瘟疫情穩定。

- mid-November 11月中旬
✍️ mid+時間=在…段時間中間，例如常聽到的「仲夏」midsummer
- hemorrhagic 出血的
- hog （尤指供食用的）豬

😠 Since mid-March, China’s Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Affairs has reported a spate of new cases across the country, supporting what some independent veterinary and farming consultants have been saying since late 2019: The disease is still rife.
自3月中旬以來，中國農業農村部報告了全國範圍內的一連串新非洲豬瘟病例，印證了一些獨立獸醫及農業顧問自去年年底就一直秉持的觀點：非洲豬瘟仍在流行。

- spate （尤指不愉快的）大量突發事件
✍️ a spate of 接連發生…
- veterinary 獸醫的
- rife （指不良事物）盛行的、流行的

【最大的福份】GREATEST FORTUNE
(English writing below)

哇～～～線上視訊諮詢真好玩！😃

我剛結束為在紐西蘭客人批八字的線上視訊。這是我第一次做視訊諮詢。

我一向比較喜歡當面會面，所以海外客人可選擇來新加坡見我，或付費請我給過去。

但是中華玄學提倡的就是要隨機應變。無論現在生活如何的安穩，人要時時居安思危，懂得變通，更要隨時準備就緒，才能把握時機，甚至從危機中脫穎而出。

畢竟如《易經》所說，唯一不變的是變化。

世事無常，沒有永遠的好，也沒有永遠的壞。

止步不前的人永遠不會進步。

這位客人關注我的臉書已有幾年的時間。

當她請我為她批八字時，我一口答應接下這差事。

幾年前，我寫過一篇文章，提到風水命理師都要能夠及願意代客人的業，因此我們很多同行都是佛教徒。

這位女士當時就私訊我，想以我的名義捐款，為我祈福。她請我選一個我喜歡的慈善機構。

我拒絕了她的好意。因為我認為自己的人生選擇，應該自己去承擔。

現在也輪到我以我的所長來答謝她。

視訊裡，我看到她一部份的居家擺設，並道出那是漏財之相，會無緣無故花了很多錢，卻又不知道錢去了哪裡，財富無法增長。

客人點頭同意，說家裡確實有這樣的問題。

我指點她該如何化解這風水問題。

雖然這次不是看風水，但我不會忘記，誰曾經施恩於我的。

在二月份時，我寫信給我的根本上師聖尊蓮生活佛，求「救瘟疫度母」持咒灌頂。

幾個星期前，我收到回信。

回信中，結尾恭錄著師尊文集《神變的遊歷》裡的一段話：

“有很多修行人的「庫藏」，裡面是充滿智慧的法本，他們將智慧握在手中，「庫藏」內並不一定有什麼福份，他們只是將智慧發光，使一切眾生得到成就，而他們的福份就是「自在」。”

我家師兄讀了之後，緊張地拿著信來問我：「你是不是在信裡跟師尊求財，然後祂的意思是跟你說你命中沒有嗎？為什麼信會這樣子回覆你？」

真是好氣又好笑。

「沒有啊！我只求持咒灌頂，其他都沒有求。」

但你知道嗎？

這也正是我此生唯一的所求。沒有什麼比這更值得拼上我一生的青春了。

為明天四小時的視訊諮詢準備咯！

Ooooh, consultations via video calls are FUN! 😃

I just concluded my very first video call for a Bazi analysis of a client in New Zealand.

I always prefer to meet in person, so either overseas clients come to Singapore to meet me or they pay for me to fly over.

But Chinese Metaphysics is always about being flexible and prepared for change, no matter how comfortable we may be in our current state. After all, as I-Ching states, the only constant is change.

Nothing lasts forever, be it good or bad.

Nobody progresses by staying put.

This client has been following my Facebook for several years.

When she approached me to analyse her Bazi, I agreed right away.

Years ago, I wrote a post on how Feng Shui practitioners must be able and willing to take over the negative karma of clients, hence many of us are Buddhist practitioners.

This lady PM me and offered to do a donation under my name, as she wished to send me some blessings. She asked me to choose a charity.

I kindly declined. Because I should take personal responsibility for my choices in life.

Now is my time to thank her with what I am competent at.

During the video call, I saw a part of her home. I told her that was a sign of leaking wealth. Money would be spent carelessly without knowing where it goes, and it gets harder to grow the family wealth.

The client nodded in agreement with my observation, and said this was indeed the current situation.

While this may not be a Feng Shui audit, I went ahead to tell her the way to resolve it.

Because I never forget who had shown kindness to me.

In February, I wrote a letter to my Grandmaster His Holiness Living Buddha Lian-Sheng to seek empowerment for the mantra of the Tara who saves from contagious diseases.

I received the reply a few weeks ago.

Interestingly, the letter ended with a short paragraph extracted from my Grandmaster’s book:

“In the treasury storage of many spiritual cultivators, lies many Dharma books of wisdom. They hold the wisdom in their hands.

There may not be much good fortune in their treasury storage. They just add shine of brilliance to the wisdom, so that all sentient beings can achieve accomplishments.

And their blessedness is freedom from worldly restraints.”

The husband read the letter and asked me panicking, “ Did you ask Grandmaster to grant you riches or something? He said you are not destined for wealth, is it? Why did the letter write that?”

“No! I never asked for anything, except the empowerment!”

But you know what?

This is all that I wish for till the end of my life. Nothing else will ever be worth my youth.

Onward to another 4-hour video call tomorrow!

《亞太地區》

#紐西蘭 New Zealand 🇳🇿
3/15 ─ 紐西蘭總理阿爾登：「我們將緊密遵循相當接近於台灣的模式，他們(台灣政府)針對公眾集會所建立的因應架構，是相當成功的。我們將以它為根據，來設定我們的標準。」

#尼加拉瓜 Nicaragua🇳🇮

#聖文森 Saint Vincent and the Grenadines🇻🇨
3/12 ─ 聖文森衛生部長布朗：「台灣因『一個中國』原則不被承認為獨立國家，因此未被納入參與「世界衛生大會」（WHA），台灣距離中國僅為海峽之隔，然而疫情爆發至今卻僅有少數確診病例，我已正式致函何大使尋求台灣的協助以對抗聖國疫情。」
March 12 - "It’s quite remarkable that they’re just 81 miles from mainland China and whereas coronavirus in mainland China has been spiralling out of control...That’s incredible,” Health minister Luke Brown said.

March 16 - Francisco de Santibañes, Secretary General of the Argentine Council for International Relations: "Sería un error pensar que los gobiernos autoritarios actuaron mejor que las democracias a la hora de controlar el coronavirus. Corea del Sur, Singapur y Taiwán lo hicieron muy bien y son democracias." (It would be a mistake to think that authoritarian governments act better than democracies in curbing the coronavirus. South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan did it very well and they're democracies.)

#哥倫比亞 Colombia🇨🇴
3/12 ─ 哥倫比亞內科醫師學會前主席希尼爾：「看看台灣，從全球確診統計圖表中漸漸消失，並對照其他亞洲國家防疫進展。他們比其他國家聰明嗎？不，是因為他們比較有組織、守紀律！」

#法國 France🇫🇷
3/5 ─ 前法國衛生部長及外交部長杜斯特：「檢視中央集權與非中央集權國家決策模式的差異十分有意思。台灣雖緊鄰中國卻可能是受武漢肺炎死亡率最低及受影響最輕的國家，其防疫成果完全令人難以置信，是為出色的危機管理。」
March 5 - Former French health and foreign minister Philippe Douste-Blazy said, "Ce qui est très intéressant en regardant les différents pays, c’est la centralisation ou la non-centralisation des décisions. Et on s’aperçoit que par exemple Taiwan est probablement le pays où il y a le moins de létalité et le pays le moins touché alors que c’est extrêmement près de la Chine. Le résultat est absolument invraisemblable. C’est une magnifique gestion de crise." (What is quite interesting with different countries, is centralization vs non-centralization of decisions.

March 16 - Former foreign minister, Giulio Terzi: "Taiwan potrebber esser stato primo Paese a comunicare alla OMS che coronavirus COVID19 si stava trasmettendo da uomo a uomo.Molto prima che Cina e OMS lo ammettessero. Ovviamente, per volere Pechino, Taipei subisce esclusione da OMS da due anni."

#英國 UK 🇬🇧

Feb. 18 - Moderate Party MP Margareta Cederfelt pointed out that “WHO’s unwillingness to include Taiwan in its work with limiting the spread of the coronavirus and stopping infections caused by the virus in the long-run, is indefensible and counterproductive seen from several perspectives, for example from a medical and economic perspective.”

(During my third speech in the German Bundestag on civil and civil protection in Germany last Friday, I felt a need to highlight Taiwan, which showed how to respond to the dangers of the coronavirus with a clear strategy and a cool head, and thus significantly slowed its spread.)

#荷蘭 The Netherlands🇳🇱

Feb. 5 – US former secretary of health and human services Tom Price: "Taiwan has shown itself to be extremely responsible and transparent in its actions, especially in the area of medicine and science.

Tenacious on iTunes: http://smarturl.it/tenacious

薛凱琪為早前推出的十年大碟《Tenacious》耗盡精力一手包辦選歌、編曲、前期­後期製作、服裝、概念及唱片封套設計等，經過早前難得的十天悠長假期後，Fiona已­回復體力再度投入工作。

近日除了拍電影及籌備新碟等工作外，Fiona也剛完成新歌《Contagious》­的MV拍攝，此曲是新碟內節奏最強勁的快歌，為了拍出好效果，讀裝置藝術出身的Fio­na想到以包裝紙做成銀紅色及金色的閃閃background，跟同樣bling bling的造型互相輝映。整個MV的concept和styling包括dance­r造型均出自Fiona手筆，當中銀色bra top裙則由Thomas Chan打造，Fiona為了dancers的服飾更借出私伙bra top。

熱愛藝術的Fiona，平日一想到可以用作拍攝MV的點子便會儲起備用，當遇到適合的­MV便大派用場。今次將黑色紙皮石貼上身體及背景的機械造型就是其中一個儲備，而上月­的歐洲之旅也為Fiona帶來了不少新構思。雖然Fiona大部分MV都在台灣拍攝，­今次少有的香港製作，所以特意邀請了跟她合作多時的麥曦茵為MV執導，兩位同樣熱衷搞­搞新意思並來自城市大學的畢業生，製成品如何？快來看看吧!

So Contagious
So Contagious
皮膚超敏感所以很癢嗎　定係你手指勾我衫袖
人即刻休克兼四肢軟化　但我卻衰得感覺享受
暈陀陀　天花反轉　不過焦點繼續遊阜
（看上你每格　夠嗎夠嗎夠嗎）
逃生口這麼的遠　香薰也沒療效
（你卻已霎眼）相當近吧

花　應先給我花　才進逼吧
場面　我站在樓上　你站在樓下
你上爬但我卻正塌下
Coz Your Love Is, so Contagious
我愈戒備　我愈覺你　沒法閃避

糖黐豆半晚需要唞氣嗎　弊在你真的鐘意痴纏
如今高燒都經已燒過界　又到我捨不得去清熱
暈陀陀　心口急跳　不過呼吸夠薄荷吧
（快要上腦嗎　爆炸爆炸爆炸）
滅火筒擺得很遠　一口咬下來吧
（你我有愛嗎）交叉染吧
身　根本緊貼得　沒法講話
危險　必須搶救嗎　找到方法嗎
最後還是要你吻我吧

Coz Your Love Is, so Contagious
我愈戒備　我愈覺你　沒法閃避
連閃燈閃燈　閃出的意識
逐滴逐滴　都給你侵蝕
敷一敷冰　些少反抗　都　都　都

Coz Your Love Is, so Contagious
我站在樓上　你站在樓下
我站在樓上
我站在樓上　你站在樓下
你上爬但我卻正塌下

Coz Your Love Is, so Contagious
我愈戒備　我愈覺你　沒法閃避
連閃燈閃燈　閃出的意識
逐滴逐滴　都給你侵蝕
敷一敷冰　些少反抗　都　都　都
我又冇力
