「我們一生的年日是七十歲,若是強壯可到八十,但其中所矜誇的,不過是勞苦愁煩,轉眼成空,我們便如飛而去。」(詩篇九十:十)	
	有了創造主,關於人生的問題不再向『人』尋問,而是改向『上帝』!首先,人在上帝眼中處於什麼位置呢?根據《聖經—創世記》,上帝用了五天時間以言語創造了萬物,包括一切的活物。然後,上帝用了一天,按祂自己的形象,以地上的泥土用祂的手,造了人的模式,並在他的鼻孔吹入一口氣,有靈的活人便是如此造出來。這個人具備了上帝賜與的智慧與能力,所以人能管理整個世界。
	世界樣龐大,自然需要大量不同的人,才能完成整個管理工作。事實上,所有人都是平等。
	那麼人為什麼活著呢?可以分為兩大類理由:	
	●人當盡人在世上的責任,每一個人生存在世上一定負有不同的工作;此外,在人生的歷程中亦不斷承擔不同的身份。 	
	● 作為神的兒女,在神的國度裡亦當盡人子的責任。那麼人如何方能達到上帝的要求呢?每一個人的能力與意願上帝都好清楚,所以祂的要求很簡單:就是敬畏神,謹守祂的誡命,這是人所當盡的本分。


盡本分 	
	「生老病死」是人的必然,無可逃避。研究『死』的人不少,追尋死後何處去的人更多。雖然我曾經看過這一類專書,或者他們的見解太深奧,超越了我有限的思維。
	上文曾提到我有閱讀有關人體結構的參考書,記得其中有一篇是談到血液裡的血小板,我節錄了一些資料:當一個人受傷開始流血時,血小板會聚集起來「塞住」破洞,然後「自體瓦解」釋出化學物質啟動凝血作用。很明顯血小板一定有個訊息接收器,所以當人體某地方破損時,而人體總中樞發出指令之後,血小板便去「塞住」那破洞。與此同時又會釋出化學物質去凝固血液,所以血不會不停地再流。另一問題,就是血小板的壽命平均是五至十一天,隨時由骨髓補充。
	當日,看完了該書《人,美妙的傑作》關於血小板的介紹,我不得不停下來想一個問題:「當我受傷時,我有向血小板下達任何指令嗎?」當然很清楚我沒有這樣做,因為還只是那一刻我才認識血小板多一點點而已。	
魂 	
	究竟除了我之外,誰下指令呢?而我更加相信我那異常複雜的身體,可能每天都有些變化,而管控血小板那個總中樞,一定同樣地肩負著發出指令的任務,讓身體作出正常運作。我發現了原來除我以外,還有另外一個我,而這個『另外的一個我』比諸『我』更加瞭解『我』。 	
	在神學書裡面,神學家指人是有「靈魂」的,其中「靈」是與造物主連系,而「魂」是管控人體的運作。靈魂之說,我自認識血小板之後便深信不移。原來,人的肉體必然會毀滅,但靈魂不屬肉體,所以依然存在。 	
天國居所 	
	人死後何去呢?耶穌在經上說:「在我父的家裡,有許多住處。若是沒有,我就早已告訴你們了。我去原是為你們預備地方去。」(約翰福音十四:二)	
有歷練人生的人,相信對下列描繪會有強烈感受:	
	●人生有如白駒過隙,轉迅即逝。 	
	● 經上說:「我們一生的年日是七十歲,若是強壯可到八十,但其中所矜誇的,不過是勞苦愁煩,轉眼成空,我們便如飛而去。」(詩篇九十:十)環顧世界各地,不是戰爭,便是隨時一觸即發的戰爭,又或是政治的鬥爭,凡此種種,用『勞苦愁煩』來形容,可謂非常貼切,而人的生命轉瞬即逝,亦確實如此!如此日子確是帶來異常灰暗的人生。
	不過,相信你曾經到過各地旅遊,無論你所去何處,住什麼酒店,你祗是一個旅居他地的旅客,最後還是要回到你的老家。原來,我們今天所在的世界,只是旅居之地。聖經常常提醒我們,我們不過是一個『過客』。你的老家就是上文耶穌為你預備的地方。
	『信』,是人渴望擁有,但不容易得到的東西,聖經對『信』是這樣說:信就是「對所盼望的事的把握,是還沒有看見的事的明證。」(希伯來書十一:一)	
 	朋友:當你相信上帝是創造人和萬物的創造主時,那麼你便應相信上帝所給予我們的一切。 	(全文完)
神與我同在	
     陳翠華姊妹感恩見証分享	
你要以你的訓言引導我,以後必接我到榮耀裡。除你以外,在天上我有誰呢?除你以外,在地上我也沒有所愛慕的。我的肉體和我的心腸衰殘,但神是我心裡的力量,又是我的福分,直到永遠。(詩篇七十三:二十四至二十六)	
	
	二○二○年十月十八日星期日,吃過午飯後,我的先生如常一樣出去散步,然後午睡,起床後吃了酸牛奶,一切很正常。下午三點半左右,先生突然覺得有點冷,於是就穿上毛衣,但還是覺得很冷,就再穿上一件薄羽絨服。	
	過了一會兒,他開始全身發抖。我深知大事不妙,一定是發高熱了。果然一探熱是華氏三十七度六,於是馬上吃「TYLENOL」退燒藥,並上床休息。但蓋了被子還一直發抖。到了晚上七點多,再探熱是華氏三十八度六,怎麼辦好呢?星期天家庭醫生不開診,去醫院覺得不安全(因為前段時間公寓裡有老人去醫院後,反而感染了新冠病毒而去世)。怎麼辦呢?	
	記起聖經中上帝的話語:「你不要害怕,因為我與你同在;不要驚惶,因為我是你的上帝。我必堅固你,我必幫助你;我必用我公義的右手扶持你。」(以賽亞書四十一:十)神的話給了我力量,改變了我過去對疫病害怕、惶恐的心理,就馬上打電話通知孫女,她和男朋友立刻去藥房買了一種效力較強些的退燒藥送來。先生吃了一次強力退燒藥後,在午夜時,高熱開始退了一些,再吃了一次「TYLENOL」退燒藥後,天亮時就退熱了。	
	第二天起床後,發現先生的尿液顏色很深而量又少,我猜想可能是他的泌尿系統有問題。早上九點後,便打電話到家庭醫生診所,醫生聽到先生發過高熱,不論退熱已否,一定要去做病毒檢測。
	於是女兒和孫女很快就找到了一個檢測點,我們便飛車前去。來到檢測點,只見到工作人員,沒有見到一個要檢測的人,我們覺得很安全,害怕感染到病毒的恐懼,頓時消失了,很快就做完了檢測。回到家後,我便立刻聯繫了先生的泌尿科醫生,並約好了星期二上午九點見醫生,一切都很順利。	
	在星期一那一天,雖然沒有見到醫生,由於大量喝水,尿液增多了,顏色也淡了很多。星期二早上,得知病毒檢測的結果是陰性。見過泌尿科醫生,吃了消炎藥,情況好了很多。
	我很高興在這裡分享,因為我真是感受到神的恩典!先生從發高熱到退熱,尿液從少到增多,從尿液從濁到清,檢測到診病,一切都很順利。這就是神的恩賜!一切榮耀歸於神!

	        二○二二年七月九日

    “AI expends a lot of energy being polite, especially if the user is polite, saying ‘please’ and ‘thank you,’”
    tripscan
    Dauner explained. “But this just makes their responses even longer, expending more energy to generate each word.”

    For this reason, Dauner suggests users be more straightforward when communicating with AI models. Specify the length of the answer you want and limit it to one or two sentences, or say you don’t need an explanation at all.

    Most important, Dauner’s study highlights that not all AI models are created equally, said Sasha Luccioni, the climate lead at AI company Hugging Face, in an email. Users looking to reduce their carbon footprint can be more intentional about which model they chose for which task.

    “Task-specific models are often much smaller and more efficient, and just as good at any context-specific task,” Luccioni explained.

    If you are a software engineer who solves complex coding problems every day, an AI model suited for coding may be necessary. But for the average high school student who wants help with homework, relying on powerful AI tools is like using a nuclear-powered digital calculator.

    Even within the same AI company, different model offerings can vary in their reasoning power, so research what capabilities best suit your needs, Dauner said.

    When possible, Luccioni recommends going back to basic sources — online encyclopedias and phone calculators — to accomplish simple tasks.

    Why it’s hard to measure AI’s environmental impact
    Putting a number on the environmental impact of AI has proved challenging.

    The study noted that energy consumption can vary based on the user’s proximity to local energy grids and the hardware used to run AI models.
    That’s partly why the researchers chose to represent carbon emissions within a range, Dauner said.

    Furthermore, many AI companies don’t share information about their energy consumption — or details like server size or optimization techniques that could help researchers estimate energy consumption, said Shaolei Ren, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of California, Riverside who studies AI’s water consumption.

    “You can’t really say AI consumes this much energy or water on average — that’s just not meaningful. We need to look at each individual model and then (examine what it uses) for each task,” Ren said.

    One way AI companies could be more transparent is by disclosing the amount of carbon emissions associated with each prompt, Dauner suggested.

    Rainfall in Grand Island began Wednesday afternoon but the intensity picked up quickly after dark, falling at more than an inch per hour at times.

    A total of 6.41 inches of rain fell by midnight, which made it the rainiest June day and the second rainiest day of any month in the city’s 130-year history of weather records.

    The National Weather Service issued a flash flood emergency — the most severe form of flood warning — at 11:45 p.m. CDT Wednesday for Grand Island that continued for several hours into Thursday morning, continuously warning of “extensive flash flooding.”

    Multiple rounds of heavy storms tracked over the area late Wednesday into early Thursday morning and ultimately dumped record amounts of rainfall. A level 2-of-4 risk of flooding rainfall was in place for Grand Island at the time, according to the Weather Prediction Center.

    More than a month’s worth of rain – nearly 4.5 inches – fell in only three hours between 10 p.m. CDT Wednesday and 1 a.m. CDT Thursday. Rainfall of this intensity would only be expected around once in 100 years, according to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data.

    Climate change is making heavy rainfall events heavier. As the world warms due to fossil fuel pollution, a warmer atmosphere is able to soak up more moisture like a sponge, only to wring it out in heavier bursts of rain.

    Hourly rainfall rates have intensified in nearly 90% of large US cities since 1970, a recent study found.

    Despite prepping’s reputation as a form of doomerism, many left-wing preppers say they are not devoid of hope.
    tripscan top
    Shonkwiler believes there will be an opportunity to create something new in the aftermath of a crisis. “It begins with preparedness and it ends with a better world,” he said.

    Some also say there’s less tension between left- and right-wing preppers than people might expect. Bounds, the sociology professor, said very conservative preppers she met during her research contacted her during the Covid-19 pandemic to offer help.

    There is a natural human solidarity that emerges amid disaster, Killjoy said. She recalls a cashier giving her a deep discount on supplies she was buying to take to Asheville post-Helene. “I have every reason to believe that that man is right-wing, and I do think that there is a transcending of political differences that happens in times of crisis,” she said.

    As terrifying events pile up, from the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East to deadly extreme weather, it’s hard to escape the sense we live in a time of rolling existential crises — often a hair’s breadth from global disaster.

    People are increasingly beginning to wonder whether their views on preppers have been misconceived, Mills said. “There is a bigger question floating in the air, which is: Are preppers crazy, or is everyone else?”
    Killjoy has seen a huge change over the last five years in people’s openness to prepping. Those who used to make fun of her for her “go bag” are now asking for advice.

    It’s not necessarily the start of a prepping boom, she said. “I think it is about more and more people adopting preparedness and prepper things into a normal life.”

    Evidence already points this way. Americans stockpiled goods in advance of Trump’s tariffs and online sales of contraceptives skyrocketed in the wake of his election, amid concerns he would reduce access. Shows like “The Walking Dead,” meanwhile, have thrust the idea of prepping into popular culture and big box stores now sell prepping equipment and meal kits.

    People are hungry to learn about preparedness, said Shonkwiler. “They have the understanding that the world as we knew it, and counted on it, is beginning to cease to be. … What we need to be doing now is figuring out how we can survive in the world that we’ve created.”

    These preppers have ‘go bags,’ guns and a fear of global disaster. They’re also left-wing
    трипскан вход
    The day after President Donald Trump was elected in 2016, Eric Shonkwiler looked at his hiking bag to figure out what supplies he had. “I began to look at that as a resource for escape, should that need to happen,” he said.

    He didn’t have the terminology for it at the time, but this backpack was his “bug-out bag” — essential supplies for short-term survival. It marked the start of his journey into prepping. In his Ohio home, which he shares with his wife and a Pomeranian dog, Rosemary, he now has a six-month supply of food and water, a couple of firearms and a brood of chickens. “Resources to bridge the gap across a disaster,” he said.

    Margaret Killjoy’s entry point was a bleak warning in 2016 from a scientist friend, who told her climate change was pushing the global food system closer than ever to collapse. Killjoy started collecting food, water and generators. She bought a gun and learned how to use it. She started a prepping podcast, Live Like the World is Dying, and grew a community.

    Prepping has long been dominated by those on the political right. The classic stereotype, albeit not always accurate, is of the lone wolf with a basement full of Spam, a wall full of guns, and a mind full of conspiracy theories.

    Shonkwiler and Killjoy belong to a much smaller part of the subculture: They are left-wing preppers. This group is also preparing for a doom-filled future, and many also have guns, but they say their prepping emphasizes community and mutual aid over bunkers and isolationism.

    In an era of barreling crises — from wars to climate change — some say prepping is becoming increasingly appealing to those on the left.
    The roots of modern-day prepping in the United States go back to the 1950s, when fears of nuclear war reached a fever pitch.

    The 1970s saw the emergence of the survivalist movement, which dwindled in the 1990s as it became increasingly associated with an extreme-right subculture steeped in racist ideology.

    A third wave followed in the early 2000s, when the term “prepper” began to be adopted more widely, said Michael Mills, a social scientist at Anglia Ruskin University, who specializes in survivalism and doomsday prepping cultures. Numbers swelled following big disasters such as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the 2008 financial crisis.

    A watershed moment for right-wing preppers was the election of Barack Obama in 2008, Mills said. For those on the left, it was Trump’s 2016 election.

    Preppers of all political stripes are usually motivated by a “foggy cloud of fear” rather than a belief in one specific doomsday scenario playing out, Mills said. Broad anxieties tend to swirl around the possibility of economic crises, pandemics, natural disasters, war and terrorism.

    “We’ve hit every one of those” since the start of this century, said Anna Maria Bounds, a sociology professor at Queens College, who has written a book about New York’s prepper subculture. These events have solidified many preppers’ fears that, in times of crisis, the government would be “overwhelmed, under-prepared and unwilling to help,” she said.

    Many left-wing preppers also have guns.

    Killjoy is open about the fact she owns firearms but calls it one of the least important aspects of her prepping. She lives in rural Appalachia and, as a transgender woman, says the way she’s treated has changed dramatically since Trump’s first election. For those on the left, guns are “for community and self-defense,” she said.

    Left-wing preppers consistently say the biggest difference between them and their right-wing peers is the rejection of “bunker mentality” — the idea of filling a bunker with beans, rice, guns and ammo and expecting to be able to survive the apocalypse alone.

    Shonkwiler gives an example of a right-wing guy with a rifle on his back, who falls down the stairs and breaks a leg. If he doesn’t have medical training and a community to help, “he’s going to die before he gets to enjoy all his freeze-dried food.”

    “People are our greatest asset,” Killjoy said. When Hurricane Helene carved a path of destruction through Asheville, North Carolina in 2024, Killjoy, who used to live in the city, loaded her truck with food and generators and drove there to help.
    https://tripscan.biz

    Inshirah Overton also subscribes to the idea of community. The attorney, who came to prepping after enduring Hurricane Irene in 2011, owns a half-acre plot of land in New Jersey where she grows food and has beehives.

    She stores fruit, vegetables and honey but also gives them to friends and neighbors. “My plan is to create a community of people who have a vested interest in this garden,” she said.

    At one point, Overton toyed with the idea of buying a “bug-out” property in Vermont, somewhere to escape to, but desire for community for her and her two daughters stopped her. In Vermont, “no one knows me and I’m just a random Black lady, and they’ll be like: ‘Oh, OK, right, sure. You live here? Sure. Here’s the barrel of my shotgun. Turn around.’”
    This focus on community may stem in part from left-wing preppers’ growing fears around the climate crisis, predicted to usher in far-reaching ecological, social and economic breakdown. It cannot be escaped by retreating to a bunker for a few weeks.

    As Trump guts weather agencies, pledges to unwind the Federal Emergency Management Administration and slashes climate funding — all while promising to unleash the fossil fuel industry — climate concerns are only coming into sharper focus.

    They’re top of mind for Brekke Wagoner, the creator and host of the Sustainable Prepping YouTube channel, who lives in North Carolina with her four children. She fears increasingly deadly summer heat and the “once-in-a-lifetime” storms that keep coming. Climate change “is just undeniable,” she said.

    Her prepping journey started during Trump’s first term. She was living in California and filled with fear that in the event of a big natural disaster, the federal government would simply not be there.

    Her house now contains a week’s worth of water, long-term food supplies, flashlights, backup batteries and a solar generator. “My goal is for our family to have all of our needs cared for,” she said, so in an emergency, whatever help is available can go to others.

    “You can have a preparedness plan that doesn’t involve a bunker and giving up on civilization,” she said.

    ‘Extraordinary rainstorm’ floods Nebraska city, triggers water rescues
    трипскан вход
    An entire June’s worth of rain fell in just a few hours over Grand Island, Nebraska, Wednesday night, triggering life-threatening flash flooding that inundated neighborhoods, stranded motorists and forced water rescues.

    Crews have responded to dozens of calls to assist motorists stuck in flooded roads since torrential rain began Wednesday night, according to Spencer Schubert, the city’s communications manager. The flooding has also displaced an unspecified number of residents from their homes.
    https://tripscan.biz
    трип скан
    “At this time we have no injuries to report,” Schubert said early Thursday morning, noting some rescues were ongoing.

    Torrential rain caused sewers to back up into several homes and sent floodwater running into basements, according to a Thursday news release from the city. Some affected residents took shelter at local hotels or with friends and family.

    “This was an extraordinary rainstorm and is very similar to the historic rains seen in the 2005 floods,” Jon Rosenlund, the city’s emergency director said. “We will be actively monitoring rivers, creeks and other drainage areas over the next few days for future flooding issues.”

    Flooding in 2005 turned streets into rivers in Grand Island. At one point, the city tore up a major road to open up a channel to drain flooding away from homes, CNN affiliate KHGI reported.

    The central Nebraskan city is home to around 53,000 people and is about 130 miles southwest of Omaha. The rain came to an end around sunrise Thursday, but the danger remains, with a flood warning in effect until 7 p.m. CDT.

    This company says its technology can help save the world. It’s now cutting 20% of its staff as Trump slashes climate funding

    Two huge plants in Iceland operate like giant vacuum cleaners, sucking in air and stripping out planet-heating carbon pollution. This much-hyped climate technology is called direct air capture, and the company behind these plants, Switzerland-based Climeworks, is perhaps its most high-profile proponent.

    But a year after opening a huge new facility, Climeworks is straining against strong headwinds. The company announced this month it would lay off around 20% of its workforce, blaming economic uncertainties and shifting climate policy priorities.

    трипскан вход
    “We’ve always known this journey would be demanding. Today, we find ourselves navigating a challenging time,” Climeworks’ CEOs Christoph Gebald and Jan Wurzbacher said in a statement.

    This is particularly true of its US ambitions. A new direct air capture plant planned for Louisiana, which received $50 million in funding from the Biden administration, hangs in the balance as President Donald Trump slashes climate funding.

    Climeworks also faces mounting criticism for operating at only a fraction of its maximum capacity, and for failing to remove more climate pollution than it emits.

    The company says these are teething pains inherent in setting up a new industry from scratch and that it has entered a new phase of global scale up. “The overall trajectory will be positive as we continue to define the technology,” said a Climeworks spokesperson.

    For critics, however, these headwinds are evidence direct air capture is an expensive, shiny distraction from effective climate action.
