The Wheel of Fortune The Wheel of Fortune
in the Past position.

Surprise. Change of fortune. Unexpected turn of events. Good luck. Progression. Windfall. Measurable time or natural cycle. Upturn of the wheel. Improvement. After struggles, obstacles give way and plans engage. Breakthrough and movement. Blind fortune. Chance. Moods of fate. Surmounting difficulties. Relief from another¹s oppression. The Wheel of Fortune can herald random change neither sought nor deserved, reminding us that fate sometimes rewards the unworthy while denying those deserving of luck. The card also carries a warning to the vain and fame seekers, in that what went up must come down, and at times depicts the figure atop the wheel with the ears of an ass. The wheel can represent a natural shift of circumstance or phase in life, such as the change from adolescent to adult, adult to middle age, etc.

阿姆斯特丹的史基甫機場(Schiphol)16日領先全球,啟用一款透視衣物,把人看光光的檢掃描儀器。旅客貼身夾藏任何可疑物品,都無所遁形。從啟用首日的反應看來,旅客願意交出隱私換安全。

這套儀器稱為「主動式毫米波探測器」,能顯示旅客的身體輪廓,效果形同脫衣檢查。照身過程約三秒鐘,儀器使用低能量的無線反射電波,而不是高能量穿透體內的X光,因此對人體無害。

墨西哥市和倫敦仍在測試這套系統,史基甫是第一個開始實際使用的機場。這個機場每天尖鋒時段約有16萬人通關,是歐洲第四忙的機場。

試用首日,機場向旅客分發說明書解釋儀器如何運作,旅客反應尚佳。機場發言人米莉安‧史諾旺說:「大家心想,如果這辦法能讓我快一點通關,那我接受。」

使用掃描儀器,就免了金屬探測器和搜身。關於隱私顧慮,儀器操作員在另一個房間裡,不和受檢人面對面,而且受檢人的臉孔打格,面目難認。探測沒問題,儀器操作員就給警衛訊號,將旅客放行。機場表示,掃描資料不會儲存。

這套系統在圈試用之初,有人嗆聲,空中小姐尤其在意,一定要知道自己被看掉多少。史諾旺說,掃描不是照相,呈現的完全是另一種影像,「沒什麼好想入非非的」。

目前,旅客在史基甫機場可以自由選擇要掃描,還是通過傳統的偵測器和搜身,但機場計畫走向全面使用掃描。美國的國土安全部也考慮大規模使用。

Fort Ross State Historic Park

Fort Ross was a thriving Russian-American Company settlement from 1812 to 1841. This commercial company chartered by Russia's tsarist government controlled all Russian exploration, trade and settlement in the North Pacific, and established permanent settlements in Alaska and California. Fort Ross was the southernmost settlement in the Russian colonization of the North American continent, and was established as an agricultural base to supply Alaska. It was the site of California's first windmills and shipbuilding, and Russian scientists were among the first to record California’s cultural and natural history. Fort Ross was a successfully functioning multi-cultural settlement for some thirty years. Settlers included Russians, Native Alaskans and Californians, and Creoles (individuals of mixed Russian and native ancestry.)

Along with the chapel, the structure of most historical interest at Fort Ross is the Rotchev house, an existing building renovated about 1836 for Alexander Rotchev, the last manager of Ross. It is the only surviving structure. Several other buildings have been reconstructed: the first Russian Orthodox chapel south of Alaska, the stockade, and four other buildings called the Kuskov House, The Officials Barracks, and two corner blockhouses.

《美丽的世界》 아름다운 세상

by 玻璃箱子(유리상자)

문득 외롭다 느낄 때 하늘을 봐요
같은 태양아래 있어요 우린 하나 에요
마주치는 눈빛으로 만들어 가요
나즈막히 함께 불러요 사랑의 노래를 

*작은 가슴 가슴마다 고운 사랑 모아
우리 함께 만들 어가요 아름다운 세상* 

혼자선 이룰 수 없죠 세상 무엇도
마주 잡은 두 손으로 사랑을 키워요
함께 있기에 아름다운 안개꽃처럼
서로를 곱게 감싸 줘요 모두 여기 모여

累了或者疲倦了
抬頭看看天空
在同一個太陽下
我們是一體的
用相同的目光去創造愛
我們一起唱響愛的歌曲
讓小小的每個人的心都湧出一點愛
我們一起去創造吧
這美麗的世界
