【香港後真相時代：林鄭月娥如何偽造國際歷史，真曼德拉究竟說過甚麼？🇿🇦】 1. 自稱年年考第一、強調自己讀社會學的林鄭月娥，在記招為歷史教育爭議護航時，引述「南非總統曼德拉名言」：「教育的崩潰就是一個國家的崩潰 (The collapse of education is the collapse of the nation)」。 2. 但翻查曼德拉語錄，他雖然有大量關於教育的論述，卻從沒有說過這一句話。這句話的中文版，明顯是互聯網「名人金句系列」隨便按上一個名人、配一句句子的那類fake news。 3. 而首個出現這句「曼德拉名言」的媒體，是《文匯報》，反映林鄭月娥與國情接軌、在全球面前偽造真相的攬炒決心，異常堅定。 (參見https://www.facebook.com/FinanceFellow/photos/a.112035443472580/257190475623742/) 4. 這句說話的出處，根據可查證資訊，據稱來自南非一名學者，據稱後來出現在南非大學入口，但似乎又是fake news，目前可查證其正門名言，並未見見這句。感謝不同網友鍥而不捨查證，以下為相對可靠的信息來源： https://easternmirrornagaland.com/collapse-of-education-is-the-collapse-of-nation-nvco/ 無論出自誰，前文後理很清楚，同樣與林鄭月娥的意思背道而馳，例如孟加拉報紙於此引述："Collapsing any nation does not require the use of atomic bombs or the use of long-range missiles. It only requires lowering the quality of education and allowing cheating in the examinations by the students”. 也就是說，像新香港這樣，把教育質素降低、容許考試作弊，樂崩禮壞，就足以毀滅一個國家。 (https://www.thedailystar.net/lifestyle/perspective/why-collapse-education-the-collapse-nation-1549213) 5. 究竟「真曼德拉」點睇教育？最出名係以下呢句，來自1997年，曼德拉為 Education Africa Presidential and Premier Education Awards 的發言： //The power of education extends beyond the development of skills we need for economic success. It can contribute to nation-building and reconciliation. Our previous system emphasized the physical and other differences of South Africans with devastating effects. We are steadily but surely introducing education that enables our children to exploit their similarities and common goals, while appreciating the strength in their diversity.// (http://www.mandela.gov.za/mandela_speeches/1997/971122_educ.htm) 由此可見，真曼德拉深信教育的目的，並非機械性的把學生變成唯命是從、絕對服從、絕對忠誠、沒有討論空間的賺錢機器，更不是強調怎樣才是政治正確的南非種族主義教育可比。他認為教育對建立文明國家（特別是後種族隔離時代南非）具有重要功用，因為能令不同立場的人在開放、多元的社會無所畏懼地討論，不受文革式批鬥影響，明白社會和而不同的重要性，不但是教育釋放創造力的宗旨，也能促進大和解，令社會真正再出發。 6. 至於曼德拉的個人理念，明顯也是林鄭月娥代表的價值觀的對立面。1964年，他被種族隔離政權審判時，有以下名言《我準備獻身》：“I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.” 奧巴馬在曼德拉逝世後的悼詞，也有引述這句話。泉下有知，得知自己一生的精神，居然被林鄭月娥抽水，不知有何感想？ ⋯⋯ #全文見blog

💥 ACL Tear Anniversary(附中文) “ No Surgery: Function > Structure “ - 6th May 2020 marks the day of my right ACL anniversary playing 🏈. It has been one of the most devastating injuries by far as I still remember I heard a “snap” when I was trying to go past the offensive line - I decided not to have surgery. Nothing was more difficult than walking stairs after the tear. But I looked on the flip side as being a physical therapist myself, I read all the journals I could find and designed my own rehab program. Day in and day out of the gym now I can squat 160 KG again - If you went to a doctor after an injury like this they would 10/10 suggest a surgery. After a year of research and working with ACLR clients , I have made a conclusion of 3 scenarios where you should consider Rehab before surgery: - 1️⃣ Isolated full ACL tear : No complications on meniscus or lateral ligaments. No pain after acute swelling 2️⃣ Grade 2 partial-tear : No acute swelling after injury. Still remnants of ACL ligament can be strengthened with strength training to stimulate ligamental growth 3️⃣ Unidentified : No acute swelling after injury, nor pain. Unclear to reach diagnosis on MRI - 🎯 As long as you can maintain good “function” of your leg, like day to day commute, full squat without pain. There is not an urgent need for surgery, and instead, rehab training should be prioritized to maximize “function“ - 🧠 Function + Movement > Structural Damage ——————————— 💥前十字韌帶斷裂滿一週年 “沒有十字韌帶不可怕" - 這週是我因為打美式足球時右腳前十字韌帶斷裂的一週年。這一年來，從走樓梯都有困難，到現在可以深蹲回到160公斤，真的花了很長一段時間。很幸運自己是一位物理治療師，復健自己做，為自己設計課表，從開立十字韌帶訓練團課，到現在一對一的術後訓練，把學過的看過的，融會貫通，幫助那些像我一樣，走出傷痛，重回運動的懷抱 - 可以不開刀嗎？ 這是我常被問的問題，受傷後我並沒有開刀 - 如果你去看骨科，醫生一定叫你開刀。好像沒了韌帶，就不能跑，不能跳，不能回去正常生活，不過事實是如此嗎? - 綜合了我這一年的經驗，與病人的交談，看過的學術文獻，得出以下3種情況，可以先不做十字韌帶重建手術: - 1️⃣ 只有前十字韌帶斷裂，沒有合併半月板受傷(Isolated ACL tear): 我的狀況就是這樣，我只有斷前十字韌帶，沒有半月板或其他軟組織受傷，所以也不會疼痛 2️⃣ 前十字韌帶第二級拉傷(Grade 2 Tear): 第二級的意思是指斷了一些，沒有全斷，可以透過物理治療做訓練，加強膝關節周邊肌肉，增加膝蓋穩定度 3️⃣ 不清楚是不是斷裂(Unidentified): 受傷後沒有腫脹，沒有痛，也沒有聽到「啪」一聲，照核磁共震也看不太清楚，我建議先不要急著開刀，先自我訓練，或找物理治療師評估 - 🎯 重點是，只要功能是可以的，不影響日常生活，能繼續上健身房，打球不會痛不會覺得不穩，那就不用急著去開刀，當然這跟病人自身的目標也有關。假如是在打社會組，競技性比賽，一般還是建議直接選擇開刀，術後趕快做物理治療 - 🧠 功能+動作 > 結構性損傷 . #jamesthephysio signing out

/ February 15, 2020 Wuhan Novel Coronavirus Outbreak Reignites Concerns over Food Safety . Summary: Foodborne illness outbreaks occur rather frequently in this day and age. The recent Wuhan novel coronavirus outbreak has once again alerted us to the dangers posed by our broken food system, especially when it comes to meat production. . Today, around the globe, meat, eggs, and dairy are mainly produced in factory farms. These establishments are notorious for confining animals in extremely crowded conditions. Not only are the animals severely restricted in their movement, but they are also given a wide range of animal drugs and inflicted with cruel physical alterations to reduce their chances of getting sick or injured. . Heavy reliance on animal drugs, however, can create food safety threats from resistant bacteria and drug residues, greatly increasing the risk of widespread foodborne illness outbreaks. In the past few years, a number of devastating E. coli outbreaks have been attributed to manure runoff from factory farms. . In the long term, for the sake of public health and animal welfare, we must crack down on factory farming and replace it with a sustainable and humane system. How can individuals help to achieve this goal? Simple! Eat as little meat as possible. Remember that every bite you take is a vote. . Language Enhancement: crack down (ph.) (取締) crack down 是短語動詞，即是「取締」或「制裁」的意思，是十分强烈的字眼，後接介詞 on。它的名詞版本是 crackdown「鎮壓」。 e.g. The ICAC was established in 1974 to crack down on corruption. e.g. The school is having a crackdown on cheating. ————————————————— 想每日睇新聞🗞，學英文📚🔠？ 快啲 follow @k.e.n.joy 及 bookmark ————————————————— #english #news #englishinnews #newsoftheday #language #enhancement #dse #kennethlau #kenjoy #英文 #時事英文熱點 #2022dse #2020dse #2021dse #dsefighter #dseenglish #dse2020 #dsefighter #2021dsefighter #2020dsefighter #dseeng #hkdse #hkdseenglish #20200215
