你/妳相信心態影響一切嗎？
You, do u believe in a mind-set towards attitude has an impact towards everything?
壁球的發球對於初學者很重要，
但你知道選手更應該重視發球與接發球嗎？
Squash’s serving is very important for a beginner; especially for a starter, should focus on serving and receiving a ball...

一次來回裡面的第一球。
這一球你是發了再決定做什麼？
還是打到最好，來逼迫對手製造機會？
For the first ball, do u think of serving it first casually and then see how it goes afterwards? Or, try to serve your best to a corner with a tough angle for competitor to receive? Forcing competitor to provide you a better opportunity to react?

第一球就可看出（ 你的心態在哪裡 ）
The act of first ball will see your mentality towards your competitor/game
————————

努力之外，還要懂的有效利用所有資源，
在比賽的時候，好好思考什麼對自己才是有利的，什麼才能幫助自己發揮表現，但當然是以運動家風範的前提下。
Besides working hard, need to know how to maximize all attainable resources. During competition, need to think thoroughly as to what are advantageous points to you. Which areas to focus could assist you in maximize deployment...of course under sportsmanship’s

看PSA球員有時候都會對著裁判碎念：
Some PSA players using this strategy by keep mumbling to referees...
「他已經累了，他跑不到故意來撞我」
For example...a player would say “he is tired...he could not run to the ball so he would just run to me...”
真正的目的卻是在激勵自己，同時烙印對手，讓他覺得自己真的已經累了。
This strategy is to:
1. Encourage and motivate himself;
2. Make his competitor believing he is really tired...
烙印、同時改變對手心態。
This act and/or strategy is to imprint and change your competitor’s mentality/mindset/thinking...

21歲埃及選手Youssef Ibrahim在近期卡達公開賽，贏過世界第二名El Shorbagy進入八強。

21 year old Egyptian player Youssef Ibrahim won over Shorbagy whom is ranked number 2 in the world. Youseff Ibrahim enter into Top 8.

「你擁有很多潛力，繼續下去你也能成為世界第一」
You have lots of potential. Keep working hard, you could become world number 1。

這句話是賽後Shorbagy對著後輩說的，這句話也會深深烙印在Ibrahim的腦子裡。
The above statement was said to Youssef by Shorbagy. This statement will always be remembered deeply by Youseff.

我帶學生，很重視這種觀念與Mindset
觀念就像放種子在土壤裡，短期或許看不出變化，但隨著學生的心態就會影響成長的速度。
With my teaching to students, I emphasize the importance of this mentality and mindset, mindset is like a seed planted in the ground, in short term period of time, you could not noticed its impact. But, as the time progresses, the right mindset being planted will have a profound impact on outcome!

當你知道自己做對什麼、什麼做的不夠好，你就懂的怎麼去看待與因應，你也就更能理解對手的目的與想法在哪邊、如何去應對。
When you could clearly observe what has being doing right, or what has not being doing enough, you would then understand how to face obstacles with right approaches and methods. You could then understand your competitors’ thinking and how to react to his strategy.
————

這觀念也不只限於用在球場裡，場外也是一樣。
The same philosophy applies to outside of court.
以前某體育大學裡的教授，當面對著我說：
There was a professor in a sports focused college once said to me:

「你這種學生我見多了，沒多久也就不會再碰壁球了」當時我很氣憤。
I have seen enough of students that don’t last too long in playing squash..

現在回頭想想，那教授是因為他學生都是如此？還是因為他是帶著這種心態去帶學員？所以才會如此呢？
In looking back, could it be that professor was having a passive attitude that caused his students in thinking passively?

「我相信教練的心態，影響學生很大的」
I firmly believe that a coach’s mindset has a profound impact to his students...
————

期盼AJ的學生都能有烙印正向與獨立思考能力
Wishing all AJ Squash students think and imprint with positive mindset as well has ability to think independently

「烙印住每一次打到目標點的感受」
「記憶自己贏球的喜悅」
那份喜悅與渴望，就是推動我們打到更多的動力。
Imprint and conceive deeply arise from each feeling resulting from a focus target

獨立思考自己要的是什麼：
「找個心態、步頻跟自己一樣的人同行」
如果沒有，那就選擇獨行吧。
Think independently is critical in figuring out what is once’s own goal. Pairing with someone that has similar desire and goal setting...If you can not find that person, stride along....

Mindset不一樣，就已經存在不同世界一樣。
When mindset is steering into different direction, you have already venture into a different environment and world

你/妳今天AJ了嗎？
Have you AJ today?

Software To Recognize Faces Is Found To Be Biased

The majority ( )of commercial facial-recognition systems exhibit bias ( ), according to a study from a federal agency released recently, underscoring ( )questions about a technology increasingly used by police departments and federal agencies to identify suspected criminals.

The systems falsely identified African American and Asian faces 10 times to 100 times more than Caucasian faces, the National Institute of Standards and Technology reported. Among a database of photos used by law enforcement ( )agencies in the United States, the highest error rates came in identifying Native Americans, the study found.

The technology also had more difficulty identifying women than men. And it falsely identified older adults up to 10 times more than middle-aged adults.

The new report comes at a time of mounting ( )concern from lawmakers and civil rights groups over the proliferation ( )of facial recognition. Proponents ( ) view it as ( )an important tool for catching criminals and tracking terrorists. Tech companies market it as a convenience that can be used to help identify people in photos or in lieu of ( )a password to unlock smartphones.

Civil liberties experts, however, warn that the technology — which can be used to track people at a distance without their knowledge — has the potential to lead to ubiquitous ( ) surveillance ( ), chilling freedom of movement and speech. Last year, San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley in California and the Massachusetts communities of Somerville and Brookline banned government use of the technology.

“One false match can lead to missed flights, lengthy interrogations ( ), watch list placements, tense police encounters, false arrests or worse,” Jay Stanley, a policy analyst at the American Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement. “Government agencies including the FBI, Customs ( )and Border Protection and local law enforcement must immediately halt ( )the deployment ( )of this dystopian ( )technology.”

The federal report is one of the largest studies of its kind. The researchers had access ( )to more than 18 million photos of about 8.5 million people from American mug shots ( ), visa applications and border-crossing databases.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology tested 189 facial-recognition algorithms ( )from 99 developers, representing the majority of commercial developers. They included systems from Microsoft, biometric ( )technology companies like Cognitec, and Megvii, an artificial intelligence company in China.

The federal report confirms earlier studies from MIT that reported that facial-recognition systems from some large tech companies had much lower accuracy ( )rates in identifying the female and darker-skinned faces than the white male faces.

臉部辨識系統 有種族性別「偏見」

根據美國聯邦機構新近發表的研究結果，多數商用臉部辨識系統存在偏差，凸顯出這種科技的問題，而警察部門和聯邦機構使用這項科技辨識可疑罪犯的程度正不斷增高。

國家標準及科技研究所指出，比起白人臉孔，這些系統錯誤辨識非裔美國人和亞洲臉孔的機率高出10至100倍。研究發現，在美國執法單位使用的照片資料庫中，辨識美國原住民的錯誤率最高。

這項科技辨識女性也比男性更困難，而且辨識老人的錯誤率高達中年人的10倍。

這份新報告發表之際，國會議員和公民運動團體對臉部辨識的普及正日益感到憂慮。支持者視它為抓捕罪犯和追蹤恐怖分子的重要工具，科技公司將它行銷成方便好用的東西，可辨識照片中的人或作為密碼解鎖智慧手機。

然而，公民自由專家警告，這項科技能在人們不知情的狀況下從一定距離外追蹤他們，有可能導致無所不在的監控，壓抑行動和言論自由。去年，加州的舊金山、奧克蘭和柏克萊，以及麻州的薩默維爾和布魯克萊恩等社區，皆明令禁止政府使用此一科技。

「一個錯誤的比對，就可能導致錯過班機、冗長的訊問、列入觀察名單、與警察緊張的遭遇、錯誤逮捕甚至更糟的狀況。」美國公民自由聯盟的政策分析師傑．史丹利在聲明中這麼說。「包括聯邦調查局、海關及邊境保護局和地方執法單位等政府機構，必須立即停止部署這項反烏托邦科技。」

這份聯邦報告是同類報告中規模最大者之一。研究人員取用來自美國嫌犯大頭照、簽證申請及跨越邊境資料庫中，約850萬人的1800萬張以上的照片。

國家標準及科技研究所測試來自99個開發商的189個臉部辨識演算程式，涵蓋大多數商用開發商，包括微軟系統，生物科技公司如Cognitec，以及中國人工智慧公司曠視科技。

這份聯邦報告證實麻省理工學院先前的研究結果，一些大型科技公司的臉部辨識系統，辨識女性和較深膚色臉孔的正確率，比辨識白人男性低得多。
