烦 该要怎么装扮 才能给你好印象 难 原来讨好很难 整个脑袋不停为你打转 悄悄试探 你的习惯 我在你的身旁不停出现 每个人让我心慌 忙 想像你一种疲惫无力的脸庞 好想给你力量 你的难题是我的不安 不必再逞强 请依赖我小小的肩膀 喜欢你怎么办 你微笑的模样 心跳动得很乱 是恋爱的预感 喜欢你怎么办 我的爱很温暖 想牵住你的手看日出的浪漫 我喜欢 想牵住你的手看日出的浪漫 想 你温柔的目光 专属于我 的收藏 难 我愿意慢慢耐心等待的期盼 这刻那么惊颤 等 你说出了那个的答案 不想再隐瞒 你就是我心里的愿望 是你 爱无声无息来到身旁 爱 像春天掠过的微风 温暖 |

Springtime
Look at the boughs,
How white they are,
It’s snowing flowers!
Scoffing at the rain,
The sun dries
The weepy willow.
And the sky reflects
In the violets
Its pure colors…
The fly opens its wings
And the dragonfly
With the golden pupils,
And the wasp-like corset,
Unfolding its silky wings,
Has resumed its flight.
The water happily babbles,
The tiny fish wriggles
It’s Springtime again!
Tuesday
Le Printemps
Regardez les branches
Comme elles sont blanches,
Il neige des fleurs.
Riant de la pluie
Le soleil essuie
les saules en pleurs.
Et le ciel reflète
Dans la violette
Ses pures couleurs…
La mouche ouvre l’aile
Et la demoiselle
Aux prunelles d’or,
Au corset de guêpe
Dépliant son crêpe,
A repris l’essor.
L’eau gaiement babille,
Le goujon frétille
Un printemps encore !

A New Milestone In Singapore's Water History
Singapore's deep tunnel sewerage system won its second international award in less than 12 months when it was crowned Water Project of the Year at the Global Water Awards 2009 in Switzerland earlier this year.
Singapore’s prime minister officially opened the compact, state-of-the art Changi water reclamation plant on June 23, which was the highlight of Singapore International Water Week 2009.
ABB played a key role in the water reclamation project by providing extensive power solution packages, as well as automation products such as high-efficiency motors and medium-voltage drives that enable critical parts of the process to operate at the highest levels of energy efficiency and reliability.
Widely regarded as one of the world’s most visionary water projects, the deep tunnel sewerage system is designed to collect, treat and reclaim used water produced by the city-state for the next 100 years.
The system conveys used water from the island’s homes and industries, in the northern and eastern part of Singapore, through a 48-km-long deep tunnel sewer to the centralised water reclamation plant in Changi.
The plant treats up to 800,000 cubic meters (176 million gallons) of used water a day to international standards. The treated water is either discharged five kilometers out to sea through two deep sea pipes, or is sent to the NEWater Factory for further purification into NEWater, Singapore’s own brand of highly purified reclaimed water.
As one of the world’s leading suppliers of integrated ICE (instrumentation, control and electrical) solutions for the water and wastewater industries and with extensive engineering and project management resources in Singapore, ABB figured prominently in the project.
The huge influent pumping station which receives and screens all the used water from the tunnel before pumping it vertically through the pump shafts 50 meters to the surface is equipped with a complete electrical package of ABB products and systems.
A high-efficiency package
The package includes two substations with highly compact switchgear and transformers, ten 3.5 megawatt high-efficiency motors and water-cooled medium-voltage drives that power and control the huge pumps at exceptional levels of energy efficiency, and water instrumentation and analyzers that measure and monitor flow, pressure and other key parameters.
In fact, throughout the entire used-water treatment process at the Changi water reclamation plant – the liquid and solids treatment modules, sludge drying systems, centrifuges and turbine generators – ABB products and systems (switchgear, transformers, instrumentation, and motors and drives) are powering, monitoring, measuring and controlling crucial process equipment.
And at the effluent pumping station, where energy efficiency is vital, ABB high-efficiency motors and medium-voltage drives power and control the speed of huge pumps that transfer the treated effluent from the plant to the deep-sea outfall five kilometers offshore.

"同性恋是不是罪?" - An article from Sr.Teresa
在判断同性恋本身是不是罪之前,必须先审慎思考它的定义。如果根据“同性恋者宣言”(The Gay Manifesto)中宽广的看法,同性间的情感不属于不正常的范畴。亨利纽文 (Henry Nouwen) 正确地指出:
当我们仍在努力寻求我们究竟是谁的答案时,同性间的情感与异性间的情感可能同样强烈。在我们的生活还未形成一个固定的模式前,同性间的情感并无不正常可言。也许,缺乏这种情感比怀有这种情感更为不正常(1) 。
后来,我们会谈到,在成长过程中,同性间的友谊是生活中一种很宝贵的爱。
在同性间产生热情并非罪恶。圣经在描写达味和约纳堂的友情时非常细腻,充满热情洋溢与赞许的笔调:“约纳堂的心与达味的心很相契;约纳堂爱他如爱自己一样。…… 约纳堂与达味结为盟友,爱他如爱自己一样。(参阅,撒上18:1-3;20:4-42;撒下1:23-27)。
耶稣和若翰,耶稣和拉砸禄,耶稣和伯多禄间的友情,圣经里也有深刻的描写。
显然的,这种同性关系并非罪恶,是亲密的感情。圣经绝不反对友谊,圣经甚至并不责备那些有同性恋倾向的人。圣经真正排斥的是同行性行为。同性性行为是罪恶的行为。
当然也有一些人对同性恋者采取接纳、了解与仁慈。
因此,必须意识地分辨接纳人但厌弃行为。就是说讨厌罪恶但怜悯接受罪人。
什么是同性恋?在名词定义上,大家各有见解与定论。根据“同性恋者宣言”(The Gay Manifesto):同性恋是爱相同性别者的能力(1) 。这是较为广泛的定义。
韦约翰把同性恋局限在性交的范围内:同性恋行为是在两个相同性别者之间产生的情欲高潮。同性恋者是从事同性恋行为的男人或女人(2) 。
威廉克肋夫特似乎同意这种狭义的看法:严格的说,同性恋意味同性恋性交。采取同性恋生活方式的人显示,他们选择并希望和同性恋者发生性关系。和相同性别者在一起,同性恋者感觉舒服自在,得到肯定。若和异性在一起,他们在性交时就会感觉不自在、不能勃起、产生憎恨、惧怕或反应冷淡。长期或一贯希翼与同性发生亲密关系或性行为的人是真正的同性恋者……同性恋者的生活方式充满肉体关系,而非某一时期的暂时现象,特别是在感觉孤单、空虚或消沉的时候。同性恋者总是寻求与同性发生性关系藉以取得补偿(3) 。
这定义虽准确,但也有些同性恋倾向者也享受异性的性爱,他们是所谓的双性恋者。
戈根却有他的看法与定义:同性恋者主要是以相同性别者为对象来排遣他们的情感和性欲(4) 。
玛波利(Elizabeth Moberly)也同样宣称:同性恋者在本质上,不是一种健康的性交情况(5) 。在她的论文中提到,一个真正的同性恋者,是在他的人格形成期中,因缺少或全无同性尊称的父爱或母爱,而在心中怀有一种缺憾。及至成人,他(她)就企图在同性身上建立亲密关系,藉以弥补昔日的缺憾而获得完整的人生。
玛波利是一个基督徒,在剑桥大学从事精神分析发展心理学的专门研究。她对同性恋情况作了8年研究后,写了几本有关同性恋的书籍。她的结论是,造成同性恋的原因并非基因不平衡,也非激素不平衡,也不是由于不正常的学习过程,而是由于缺乏来自同性的爱;使到“隐形孤儿”在心理上诞生。当然,她的说法并非鼓励偏向同性恋的人责怪父母没有给予温暖与关怀。反之,她也不希望同性恋者的父母为了过去的失败而产生罪疚感。她只是表示,缺少同性尊亲的爱所造成的微妙后果。因此,活在成年同性恋者里面的“隐形孤儿”开始了解父母从前的行为,而准备宽恕父母造成自己的创伤时,这人就可获得医治了。

<爸妈昨天的晚餐>
最近我在旧金山参加了一场朋友的聚餐,在场的都是以前高中或是大学的朋友,除了少数像我这种不务正业的家伙之外,大部分不是成了投资基金的经理、精算师,要不然就是大企业里的财务分析专家,多少都跟数目惊人的钱脱离不了关系,自然而然钱也变成整场饭局的主要话题,旧金山湾区哪里的房价涨了多少,外汇买卖,股票投资,就在几乎分不清楚这到底是朋友私人聚会,还是会计师年会的时候,在场有一个当医生的朋友突然开口:「你们知道你们的父母昨天晚餐吃了什么吗?」
原本讨论热络的餐桌,一下子静了下来。
在场除了一对昨晚恰巧跟家人吃餐的夫妇外,将近二十个人包括我在内觉得自己几乎什么都懂的人,却没有人敢说自己知道答案。
原本我们以为这个到现在还单身跟父母同住的医生朋友,要责备我们不够孝顺之类的,可是他说的却出乎我们的意料之外。
「每次大家讲资产,都说股票现金房子车子,但是像我们这种服务业的人,都知道『人』才是真正最重要的资产,美容院最贵重的不是剪刀或吹风机,而是好的设计师,医院也是一样,MRI核磁共振摄影机器无论多先进,都比不上一个明星医师的号召力,但是为什么我们每次讲到个人资产的时候,却都忘了自己,忘了家人,才是最珍贵的活资产呢?」
我们从小开始,父母就努力在我们身上,为着子女的未来投资,长大以后,也努力学习各种专业,取得证照资格,旅行,游学留学,学习语言,仪表穿着,举止谈吐,藉由自我投资寻找自己,甚至攻读高等学位,为的就不就是希望能够为自己的人生加分吗?为什么花了那么多的心力投资自己,最后却只记得计算金钱房子?
我那也当医生的哥哥,常常疑惑不解,为什么很多为人子女的,平常总是忽略年迈的父母轻微的病症,疏于关心,多拖到不能再拖了,很严重的时候,才千方百计拜托医生无论如何不计代价救救他们的父母?所以他时常一有机会就告诉病人,要把平时照顾父母当作人生最合算的投资来看待,因为只要平时照顾得越好,当子女的未来就越轻松。
把父母当成「活资产」来看,乍听之下虽然有点残酷,但是仔细想想却有道理极了。
于是聚会中的大伙,经过了这一番令人深省的讨论后纷纷静下来,各自拿起手机,当场拨电话给自己的父母亲,问他们吃饭了没有,吃了什么,今天过得好不好。
我知道对大部分忙碌而自私的现代人来说,知道爸妈昨晚吃了什么,虽然是很小的第一步,却是很重要的第一步,父母从小投资在子女身上,从来没有像我们计较定期存款的利率那样斤斤计较,无论多么不合算的钢琴课、绘画课,除非我们不愿意,否则也都无怨无悔的滋养着孩子们。老实说,几乎没什么才能可言的低能艺术天份,如果哪一天也为人父母,就会知道天下大概没有比送孩子去上才艺班更不合算的投资了吧?
如今我们长大了,各自有自己的生活,但是如果不管多么忙,每天能随手打一通电话,问一下他们晚餐吃了什么,每天不就多了一分钟的亲子话题吗?知道他们吃什么,就更知道一点父母这一天过得如何,有没有好好照顾自己,不是吗?知道子女关心自己的父母,每天也会更开心,过得更快乐一点,投资理财的同时,别忘了投资自己,也投资回报率最高的、最爱你的家人。
