【#閱讀筆記ReadingNotes】自冷戰以來,香港就是中美的共同邊陲,兩國在香港鬥而不破各取所需,加上英治政府周旋其中力求平衡,造就了香港在地緣政治的中立地位。一國兩制的國際共治性質,本應可以延續香港的中立地位。但近年中國力推全面管治,客觀上等同要終結美國在港勢力範圍,香港自然變成中美攤牌的戰場。
Hong Kong has been a US-China overlapping periphery since the Cold War. In the past the two powers mutually accommodated each other in Hong Kong and the British Hong Kong government also navigated in-between, making the territory a geopolitically neutral space. Supposedly, the OCTS as an internationalized co-governance model shall sustain Hong Kong's geopolitical neutrality. However, in recent years China tries to exercise total control over Hong Kong, meaning to expel US sphere of influence in the territory. The result is that Hong Kong is becoming a battlefield for a US-China showdown.

I encourage us to look at our own consumption habits before complaining about the state of our natural environment. As consumers, we have the collective power to say how we want products to be made, by choosing to purchase or not to purchase. @lovebeautyandplanet gives us an option for vegan, ethically-sourced, eco-friendly body care and hair care; from ingredients to packaging. All formulas are sourced ethically from small farms across the world, and are biodegradable, i.e. when the products go down our drain, they do not harm the environment. The bottles are made from 100% recycled plastic (they're working on the caps), meaning zero production of new plastic materials (we don't need more plastic on this planet!!). They also have a coconut line which is one of the 5 lines available, and I'm a sucker for anything coconut!! 🌴🥥 In conjunction with Love Beauty and Planet's efforts in caring for the planet, I've also joined their Virtual Plastic Showdown to draw awareness to our current plastic problem - you can join #TeamAdvocate by clicking on the link in my bio, taking on their challenges and earn BOOST rewards too. We are responsible for what happens to our environment and this is one of the #smallactsoflove we can do to take care of it 🌎 #LoveBeautyandPlanetMY

showdown meaning 在 pennyccw Youtube 的精選貼文
Allen Iverson squared up, hit a 3-pointer and raised his arms to the air, having thwarted Golden State's final charge. There was no downplaying the importance of this win that put the Denver Nuggets in control of the race for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
The win moved Denver (48-31) a full game ahead of the Warriors in the race for eighth place in the West with only three games remaining. The Nuggets also control the tiebreaker, meaning they can clinch their fifth straight playoff berth by winning two of their final three games.
Golden State (47-32) probably will need to win its final three games and hope Denver loses twice to avoid the distinction of being the winningest team ever to miss the NBA playoffs. Houston won 45 games in 2000-01.
"They're in the catbird seat right now," Warriors coach Don Nelson said. "We've got a big problem as far as making the playoffs at this particular time. We're going to need a lot of luck and probably have to win out."
The Nuggets erased the early deficit by scoring 19 straight points in the second quarter and built the lead up from there, putting the back-to-back losses to Sacramento and Seattle from last weekend behind them.
"It was a must win for us. We came up with that attitude," said Anthony, who had 25 points, including a 3-pointer that made it 104-90 with 7:52 to go. "It was 'win or go home' in our minds."
The lead grew to 17 before the Warriors mounted one last run, scoring nine straight points to cut it to 107-99 on Kelenna Azubuike's 3-pointer with just over 4 minutes remaining.
Golden State had two chances to cut into the lead more before Iverson's jumper got the lead back to 10. Iverson then hit the 3-pointer that made it 112-101 with 2:06 to go, icing the most important game of the season.
"AI likes to take that 3, that dagger 3," coach George Karl said. "We were kind of caught in the quandary of should we try to score or run clock. That 3 ended the quandary. It got us over that hump where we didn't have to be scared to death of them making that 3."
Both teams talked about how this game had a playoff feel to it. The yellow "We Believe" placards that were prevalent during the Warriors' playoff run a year ago were taped to each seat. But the Warriors have not been playing with the same energy down the stretch this season as they did during their memorable playoff run a year ago.
They have lost nine of the past 16 games in a lackluster finish to their best season in 14 years. Golden State committed an uncharacteristically high 18 turnovers, missed nine of 24 free throws and got poor shooting nights from Stephen Jackson and Baron Davis.
Davis had a triple-double with 20 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, but shot only 9-for-25. Jackson had 18 points on 5-for-17 shooting. Monta Ellis led the way with 29 points and Al Harrington added 20.
"We've got a job to do, we've still got games," Jackson said. "We can't sit and dwell on this game because we lost. Definitely, everybody's upset, but at the same time we can't do anything about it. We've got to get ready to play the next game."
The notoriously slow-starting Warriors had their best opening quarter in months, taking a 37-22 lead after one for their best start since leading Cleveland by 16 after one back on Dec. 23. That advantage was quickly erased when the Iverson and Smith found their stroke and the Warriors struggled against Denver's zone early in the second.
"All I know is zones change offenses," Karl said. "When teams zone us, I'm not sure it works but it makes us play different. It makes us play in a way we aren't 100 percent comfortable."
It had a similar effect on the Warriors, who missed their first eight shots of the quarter. Iverson had nine points and Smith scored eight in the big run that gave Denver a 43-38 lead.
Game notes
Golden State F Brandan Wright and Denver F Nene missed the game with groin injuries. ... Davis has three triple-doubles this season. ... The Warriors have not won back-to-back games since taking three in a row March 7-12.
Iverson scored 33 points, J.R. Smith added 24 off the bench and the Nuggets overcame a 16-point deficit in the first quarter to win their playoff showdown with the Warriors 114-105 Thursday night.
"Everybody knew what was at stake," Iverson said. "It's easy for players to say it's just another game. But everybody knows it wasn't just another game. It was a game that both teams felt they had to have."
