[好好活著、時時感恩]
[關於社群]

(最近休息了一下, 整理了一下心情, 也再想了一下生命的排序. 下周會再開始貼美股相關文章.)

今天, 想來聊聊社群經驗.

從小的生活一直就很單純. 但幾年前入了社群, 卻沒想到社群對我來說, 根本是個"江湖." 但是, 參與社群, 一定要像在江湖上討生活嗎?

尤其經過了疫情之後, 更讓我對社群有了不同的看法.

這是我對社群的幾個想法:

--而網路雖然是個匿名的世界, 但參與社群, 更能看出自己在待人處事方面, 是不是還可以更好. 這是我這幾年參與社群最大的體悟&學習之一.

--人是互相的. 在現實生活中是如此, 在網路上的封閉社群(如Line群), 對我來說, 也是如此. 而很多願意分享的群友前輩們, 其實並不在求甚麼回報, 但常看到很多人因為網路匿名的關係, 只取(take), 卻不會感恩, 做回饋(give.)

--如同Bill Gates說的(文章請見下方), 社群的互動會越來越重要. 所以選擇跟誰互動, 就是一個重要的課題了.

--這世界已經夠亂了. 我們既然脫離不了社群,何不把時間花在能夠提升心靈, 增長知識, 充滿正能量的群組裏? 把花在社群的時間, 過的更有意義?

經過這樣的思考, 其實更能幫我釐清社群對我的意義, 以及跟網友交流的意義在哪裡. 所以, 大家可以思考一下, 花時間在社群上的目的是甚麼,參與社群的心態是甚麼? 這樣可以把時間做更妥善地利用, 對自己的人生負責. (如果經過這次的疫情, 沒有讓自己有任何反思, 或是希望活得更有意義, 那真的是需要好好思考一下了.)

Lady Gaga:
"Honestly, sometimes I wonder if the people who invented social media all got in a room and went, 'Let's start something where nobody has to be brave and everybody can hide and be mean.' It's not all bad, but a significant change has happened in culture as a result of it. This idea to socially network was supposed to bring us closer, but it built a bunch of walls and made it harder for us to be ourselves around each other."

A Prelude to the “Covenant with Many”

“He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out on the desolate.” (Daniel‬ ‭9:27‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Recently, just earlier this month, Israel and UAE agreed to a peace treaty called the “Abraham Accords”.

According to US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, "Israel and the United Arab Emirates will fully normalize their diplomatic relations. They will exchange embassies and ambassadors and begin cooperation across the board and on a broad range of areas including tourism, education, healthcare, trade and security."

This is an unprecedented treaty between Israel and a Middle Eastern nation. Israel has signed treaties with Egypt and Jordan before, but there was no normalization of relations.

I see this as a prelude to the eventual 7-year “covenant with many” that the Antichrist will make.

Israel and UAE agreeing to the Abraham Accords can be considered a big step forward in end-times Bible prophecy.

President Trump urged the other nations in the Middle East to follow in their example, and the UAE is an influential nation in the region.

If the other nations follow suit and opt for peaceful relations with Israel, this will set the stage for the “covenant with many” that will usher in the seven-year Tribulation.

The “covenant with many” will likely have terms allowing Israel to rebuild a third temple in Jerusalem, if not there would be no sacrifices and offerings to cease in the middle of the seven years.

In the middle of the seven-years, the Antichrist will turn on Israel and seek her destruction. It is a covenant of false peace—actually a trap set for Israel’s destruction.

“Let no one deceive you in any way. For it will not be, unless the departure comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of destruction, he who opposes and exalts himself against all that is called God or that is worshiped; so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself up as God.” (2 Thessalonians‬ ‭2:3-4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The “departure” (Rapture of the saints) comes first, followed by the revealing of the Antichrist (man of sin, son of destruction). He will set himself up as god to be worshipped in the third temple in Jerusalem.

““When, therefore, you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.” (Matthew‬ ‭24:15-16‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The Antichrist will set up an image of himself in the temple—an idol for people to worship. Then a time of severe persecution of the Jews will happen.

Let us be watchful and continue to pay attention to what is unfolding in the Middle East. Israel is the “fig tree” which tells us the prophetic season we are in.

““Now from the fig tree, learn this parable. When the branch has now become tender, and produces its leaves, you know that the summer is near; even so you also, when you see these things coming to pass, know that it is near, at the doors.” (Mark‬ ‭13:28-29‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The Abraham Accords tells me that the time for the Rapture (harpazo—the catching away) of the saints is closer than ever.
The time we have left to tell the world about the Gospel of Jesus Christ is getting shorter. Let us tell as many as we can, before we ascend in glory to be with God in Heaven!

.

It was still a great effort for not running on track after such a long time.
.

It wasn't my first time wearing on carbon plate shoe as I previously got a UA HOVR™ Machina from @underarmoursoutheastasia . I put on it and tested it a few rounds. I could really feel the effect of Pebax® propulsion plate during some fast running sessions. As it wasn't a full plate, therefore the energy return is minimal to me, which is still making sense.
.

Long story short, when I was wearing this Adizero Pro during the Time Trial, I switched my running technique. By focusing more on pushing off from the ball of feet on one leg, lifting the other leg by pointing my front knee downwards (instead of pointing it 45 degrees upwards) with the shoe landing slightly above the track and extended my lower leg forward to cover a longer stride, at the same time my body was leaning in a much forward position to ensure my landing closer to my body.
.

After switching to this method of running, I personally felt the effect of CARBITEX Carbon Plate and it allowed me to maximize the propulsion during each toe-off. Based on the power meter from my watch, I achieved an average of 382 Watts and a 182 steps per minute cadence and an average stride length of 1.67m.
.

I was in the zone from the second laps onwards after I made the changes and until lap 11, fatigue kicked in, and I couldn't maintain that technique anymore and turned out I dropped my cadence, and started to have higher vertical oscillation, becoming inefficient for the coming two laps.
.

It required a lot of mental energy to be always aware of sudden changes on your running technique and I lost it on lap 11 and glad I still managed to push through the final 600m.
.

Overall, I rate this shoe with a 7/10 as the carbiflex plate is still too stiff, perhaps with more runs, it may turn out better.

Chauncey Billups' sprained ankle concerned the Detroit Pistons as much as their win over Philadelphia excited them.

Richard Hamilton scored 25 points and Billups had to be helped off the court after his 24th point as top-seeded Detroit beat the fourth-seeded Philadelphia 76ers 98-87 Tuesday night in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.

"It was tough,'' Hamilton said. "I ran to him and said, 'You all right?' You could see he was in some pain. Chauncey is a big asset to our team.

"I just got done talking to him in the training room, and said, 'Please tell me you'll be all right for Game 2.' Hopefully he'll be back.''

Game 2 is Thursday night at The Palace. Pistons coach Rick Carlisle said he may not know until gameday whether Billups will play.

Philadelphia also has a limping guard.

X-rays were taken of Eric Snow's right foot after the game, and they were negative. Snow, who received treatment on his foot before the contest, will be evaluated again before practice Wednesday.

Allen Iverson, who led the league in scoring during the first round, had 27 points on 8-of-21 shooting for the 76ers. He averaged 34.8 points in the first round against Charlotte.

"They played better than us, but we still had a chance to win the basketball game, so we feel good about that,'' Iverson said.

Detroit was in control for much of the game, but it was never comfortable.

That was especially true when Billups left when he turned his left ankle after shooting a jumper and landing on Snow's foot. His basket gave the Pistons a 77-70 lead with 10:09 left. Billups has scored 101 points in his past three games.

The Sixers scored consecutive baskets to pull within three -- the closest they had been since early in the second quarter -- but Detroit rookie Mehmet Okur scored six straight points to give the Pistons the cushion they needed.

"We got to 77-74 and we self-destructed,'' 76ers coach Larry Brown said.

Philadelphia could not get closer than six points as the Pistons made enough free throws to seal the win. Detroit has not trailed in the second half of its last four games.

The Pistons lost the opening game of the playoffs to Orlando and were forced to rally to be just the seventh team in NBA history to win a series after trailing 3-1.

"We know how important it is to win the first game because we didn't like being at the other end in the last round,'' Carlisle said. "But we also won the first game last year against Boston and lost the series, so we know how important Game 2 is, too.''

The Celtics eliminated the Pistons in Game 5 of the conference semifinals last season.

Detroit's bench, which led the league with 34.1 points a game during the regular season, was a force.

Okur scored a playoff-high 16, while Tayshaun Prince and Corliss Williamson each had eight. Chucky Atkins, who replaced Billups, scored a basket for the first time since Game 5 against the Magic.

"Their bench came in and gave them a huge lift,'' Brown said.

Philadelphia's Derrick Coleman scored a playoff-high 21 points and reserve Greg Buckner added 11.

The Sixers made most of their shots in the first half, but their turnovers were costly.

Philadelphia hit 56.3 percent to Detroit's 37.5 percent, but trailed 24-21 after the first quarter. The Pistons converted eight turnovers into eight points.

Early in the second quarter, after Philadelphia took its second lead, Detroit scored nine straight points for a 33-25 lead.

By halftime, the Sixers were still making more than half their shots, but trailed 49-40 because the Pistons turned 13 turnovers into 16 points.

Detroit went ahead 63-50, its largest lead, midway through the third quarter, but began the fourth up just 73-66.

Game notes

There was a 19-minute delay at 7:51of the first quarter because the overhead lights at The Palace went out. "A breaker was tripped, just like what happens in a house,'' Pistons spokesman Matt Dobek said. ... Detroit's local television network lost its video and audio signal during the power outage, but play-by-play announcer George Blaha continued to call the action via telephone. ESPN and Philadelphia's television network did not have their broadcasts interrupted.
