1950 -1955 港大建築系第一屆畢業生
我們上一篇文章提及過高級職員宿舍是香港大學建築學系創系教授Raymond Gordon Brown及Chau & Lee所設計。布朗教授於1950年獲委任為建築系院長,將現代建築風格引入香港大學之餘,也訓練出第一批本港出產建築師。當時現代主義建築風潮席捲全球,而戰後香港人口急速上升,面對二戰後的頹垣敗瓦,急需大量新建設,現代主義建築正好提供了解決方案,而社會亦急需一批人才投入建設。
布朗教授可說是桃李滿門,1955年首屆建築系畢業生包括王澤生及伍振民(創立王伍建築工程師事務所,後來歐陽昭加入組成王伍歐陽建築工程師事務所,其後伍振民退出,改為現今的王歐陽(香港)有限公司)、廖本懷(香港首個華人政務司,房屋司)、其後亦有李景勳(創立同名建築師樓)及吳煜民等。為戰後香港城市發展貢獻良多。班上超過半數是中國及香港華人,其餘學生來自馬來西亞、泰國、印度、印尼、台灣、葡國,十分國際化。
布朗教授和這批港產初代建築師的早年作品均已有六七十年歴史,不少面臨拆卸重建,包括布朗教授的高級職員宿舍,快將被重建的觀塘賽馬會診所便是王伍的作品。而廖本懷設計的老牌屋邨有和樂邨、福來邨、華富邨等等,當中華富邨亦被規劃於2027年重建。
創系理念
根據布朗教授創系時的筆記,他不認為香港建築系只是歐美學校的影子,亦需要吸收當地的知識去為當地人建設。他甚至聘請了一名風水師教學。學生最重要的質素是sensitivity and imagination,logical thinking,technical sense,administrative ability and power of self-expression。而Far East Builder亦收錄了一些一年班學生的畫作。
在香港的時光,布朗教授及瑞典藉教師不時帶領學生往田野考察(field trip),包括大嶼山寶蓮寺,澳門教堂等等。凌晨時份探望在設計室(studio)埋頭苦幹的學生並提供設計意見,更招待學生們一起享用早餐。據說對學費不足的學生亦樂意慷慨解囊。期間設計了香港大學多幢建築物及在學生廖本懷、Gus da Roza、王澤生的協助下設計了香港大會堂。
直到1957年,由於香港大學開始禁止教師同時私人執業,布朗教授不滿而辭職,並離開了香港大學和香港。建築系上下於沙田大酒店設宴送別布朗教授。隨後他亦去過其他學校任教,很可惜布朗教授最後於英國1962年逝世。

【奧林匹克式舉重動作不能捨棄的理由】
分享《The System: Soviet Periodization Adapted for the American Strength Coach》書中對奧林匹克式舉重的看法。該書的作者們並沒有否定專項訓練的重要性,但強調現階段(美國許多力量教練)用其他動作「取代」奧林匹克式舉重是不智的作法,主要的理由是上膊和抓舉能訓練到「大範圍動作」與「全身性」的「爆發力」與「速度」。下面附上原文、我的譯文和懸垂式上膊的訓練側拍影片:

近年來,隨著人們越來越重視力量訓練中的安全性,以及所謂的「專項力量」訓練,奧林匹克式舉重動作已不再受到許多力量教練的青睞。主要的理由是,如果運動員不是要參加奧林匹克舉重比賽,有更好的爆發力訓練動作可以選,它們更容易轉化為運動賽場上的成績,而且這些動作不用移動那麼大的重量,所以對身體的壓力與風險會低很多。
為了甩開風險,有許多擲藥球或更有創意的動作已經在許多運動團隊的力量課表中取代上膊、抓舉、挺舉。在我們看來,這個鐘擺甩得太遠了,這些動作一直都能培養出世界上最強、最具爆發力運動員,現在卻要完全捨棄,實在太過極端。
我們要瞭解奧林匹克式舉重動作的主要目的是:通過「大範圍的動作」(特別是下肢)在全身產生最大的爆發力。
專攻奧林匹克式舉重選手和特別注重專項力量訓練的選手,這兩者的訓練課表,你最常發現的區別是:舉重選手是透過大範圍且快速的動作來訓練下肢;換言之,後者的動作幅度大都比較小。很多教練出於善意,使用了許多替代舉重的練習動作,但這些練習並沒有辦法達到舉重動作所需的柔韌性、協調性與力量輸出。
使用奧林匹克式舉重動作可以訓練到關節在較大彎屈幅度時的爆發力和穩定度,那也是身體在賽場上可能會碰到的幅度。(譯者註:當然對純跑者和泳者來說就並非如此了,不過自行車選手和大部分的球類運動相當符合)
一位運動員在進行完整的抓舉、挺舉時,如果進步太快或是沒有經過正確的指導再加上大重量,的確會導致受傷。但所有的訓練動作都是這樣,只要進階太快、操作不當或重量太重都會受傷,所以問題不在動作,而在於教練沒讓運動員準備好。
像美式足球或籃球這種運動的動作幅度很大,執行動作時需要高度的柔軟度與力量;在提升這些能力上,奧林匹克式舉重動作會比擲藥球的訓練更有效率。這些動作並不危險,只要你能先評估他們的身體是否有能力安全完成這些動作,事先對舉重動作進行規劃與指導,以及循序漸近地增加重量和動作難度,那麼很多顧慮都會消失。
當你能有效且適當地進行奧林匹克式舉重訓練,你會發現它的好處遠遠大於缺點。
(但作者也強調並不是每個人一開始都適合練奧林匹克式舉重動作)
一開始先別進行大量且高強度的奧林匹克式舉重訓練,最好先等到運動員們至少已經練了幾年之後才能大量的練。如果他們在早期要發展爆發力,可在運動員學習和改善舉重動作時先進行「跳躍」與「增強式訓練」。
無論什麼動作,練熟了動作的技術之後,接下來「速度」是第一位。雖然體育界很重視力量和肌肥大,但力量所表現出來的速度才是真正分出運動員實力差異的關鍵所在。
在健力(powerlifting)比賽中,動作的速度並不重要,目標是舉得更重,不管花多長時間,比賽結果只看重量。但在美式足球場上,最強壯的線鋒球員若不能迅速將力量轉化為控制對手防守球員的能力,他們就不能算是成功的進攻組球員。同理,一位能肩推數百磅重的鉛球選手,如果他不能用全身的力量來加速擲出鉛球,他也將無法把獎牌帶回家。

#原文如下
THE OLYMPIC LIFTING CONTROVERSY
In recent years with the increasing emphasis on safety in strength training and what is termed “sport specific” training, the Olympic lifts have fallen out of favor with many strength coaches. The argument is that if you are not competing in Olympic lifting, there are better options for training explosive strength that translate more readily to sports performance, without the risks and strain inherent in rapidly moving heavy weights.
Variations of medicine ball throws or more creative exercises have taken the place of cleans, snatches, and jerks in the strength programming of many teams as coaches try to reduce those risks. In our opinion, the pendulum has swung too far away from using the movements that have consistently produced the strongest and most explosive athletes in the world.
The main goal of the Olympic lifts is to generate maximal power and explosive strength in the entire body through large ranges of motion, particularly for the lower extremities.
The differences you will most often find between the training regimen of an Olympic weightlifter and of athletes performing more “sport specific” training are that weightlifters consistently take the lower extremities through high-speed, large range-of-motion exercises. Many of the substituted movements and exercises used by a well-intentioned strength coach do not come close to demanding and developing the flexibility, coordination, and force output demanded by the weightlifting exercises.
It is true that subjecting an athlete to a full snatch or jerk with a substantial amount of weight without the proper instruction or progression will often result in injury. However, that holds true for any exercise. It is not the fault of the exercise, but rather the coach’s fault for failing to prepare the athlete to succeed.
Dynamic sports like football or basketball require suppleness and strength expressed through large ranges of motion; the Olympic lifts are more effective at facilitating those qualities than a medicine ball toss. If you assess an athlete to be physically capable of performing the movements safely and if the lifts are programmed and coached effectively and progressed in both weight and complexity, many concerns diminish.
You will discover that when implemented effectively and appropriately, the benefits of the Olympic lifts far outweigh the drawbacks.
A significantly high volume of Olympic lifting is best left to the athletes with at least a few years of training under their belts. For developing athletes such as these, the power and explosive qualities can be addressed through jumping or plyometric training as the Olympic lifts are coached and refined over time.
After mastering technical efficiency and form, no matter what the movement, speed should always be the priority. Although strength and muscle hypertrophy are important in the world of sports, the rapid expression of that strength is what separates athletes on the field of play.
In the sport of powerlifting, the speed of the movement is not critical. The goal is to lift the maximum weight, however long it takes. On the football field, the strongest linemen will rarely succeed if they cannot rapidly translate that strength to control an oncoming defender. A shot putter who can military press hundreds of pounds will not take home a medal without the ability to explosively accelerate the entire body to throw the shot.

Just a simple shoutout for the great work @theumonicsmethod has done with my nieces. I've seen a marked improvement in their spelling ability and grades, vocabulary expression, as well as creativity and imagination levels ever since they joined a semester of just twelve classes!
In ancient times, children were taught how to read, write, and memorise, but today, we are only taught how to read and write. Now, children can learn to use these techniques subconsciously just like how they would read and write.
The Umonics Method is the only memory improvement enrichment provider for preschools in Singapore, specialising in teaching techniques used by memory athletes during memory competition, and it has certainly benefitted my nieces, so I hope to share this with all the young parents out there!

A stunning fourth-quarter comeback led by Allen Iverson. A thrilling final-minute shootout between Stephon Marbury and Kobe Bryant.
The ball in Bryant's hands for the last shot. A pass that no one expected. A last-second miss. A postgame celebration worthy of June.
Yes, it was quite an All-Star Game.
Iverson, Marbury and his Eastern Conference teammates transformed what looked like a blowout loss into an improbable 111-110 victory Sunday in a performance fitting of the 50th anniversary of the game.
"It was like a championship game out there," Dikembe Mutombo said. "I've been in the All-Star Game the last seven years, and I've never seen anything like this."
It was the kind of game that might stop people dismissing the East as far weaker than the West, the kind of game that might make the casual fan appreciate the heart and determination of some of the younger stars trying to seize the spotlight in the post-Jordan era.
Mostly, it was kind of game that any fan of any sport would prefer to see — a riveting one.
Iverson scored 15 of his 25 points in the final nine minutes, and Marbury hit two three-pointers in the final 53 seconds as the East came back from a 21-point deficit.
Bryant, the NBA's leading scorer, could have taken the last shot. Instead, in a shock to everyone sitting in the building and watching on television, he threw a pass that resulted in a last-second miss by Tim Duncan.
"Everybody was saying we couldn't win because of our size. It's not about size. It's about the size of your heart," Iverson said. "Coming into the fourth quarter, we were all sitting on the sidelines saying 'Why not us? Why can't we be the ones to come back from a 19-point deficit (after three quarters) in an All-Star Game?"
Turns out they could.
While presenting the MVP award to Iverson, NBA Commissioner David Stern, with a sly grin on his face, told Iverson that great basketball "can be wrapped — if you pardon the expression — in very small packages."
The comment was a clever reference to Iverson's height -- he is an inch or two shy of 6 feet -- and Iverson's rap album, which was criticized for its lyrics and led to a meeting with the commissioner.
Iverson, who starred collegiately in this city at Georgetown and had a large contingent of family and friends in the arena, presented his MVP trophy to his mother.
"My family, my friends, everybody that's been with me through my struggles and pain knows it's a tribute," Iverson said. "I think it's going to be beautiful for years to come because every year it seems like we get somebody else with a different kind of God-given ability to add to this league."
The East trailed 95-74 with nine minutes left after the West dominated the first 39 minutes behind its superior size. It appeared the game would come out looking like a mismatch that would back up all the Western Conference superiority theories that have been thrown around so frequently this season.
But the East started pecking away, and Iverson walked over to the scorer's table during a timeout and asked if anyone wanted to wager whether the East would make a comeback.
That's exactly what the East proceeded to do, with Jerry Stackhouse and Vince Carter making three-point shots that were followed by a three-point play by Iverson to cut the West's lead to 100-96.
Iverson scored the East's next two points from the line, and Tracy McGrady tied it on a putback with 3:10 left.
"We had every reason to make this like a regular All-Star Game and lay down and stop playing, and it didn't happen," East coach Larry Brown said. "I had no idea we could come from behind. It was a wonderful ending for us."
Iverson scored the East's next five points, and a chant of "M-V-P! M-V-P!" was heard after his two foul shots gave the East a 105-104 lead.
But that chant might have revved up someone else, instead.
Someone named Bryant.
In a down-the-stretch performance reminiscent of his play in the Lakers' Game 4 overtime victory over Indiana in last year's NBA Finals, Bryant kept getting the ball and putting it in the basket.

Two wheels machine kind
In two wheels of BMWs, it is features that there are a lot of examples of adopting a mechanism different from the other two wheels. Especially, there are a lot of one to adopt two horizontal opposing cylinder engine and either a dry single board clutch and shaft drive or this.
* Length is put and two horizontal opposing cylinder engine.
It was adopted for "R32" first in 1923. The length putting layout to which the cylinder projects right and left is taken, and a basic layout to the drive shaft is alive and well as it is in R series today through the clutch and the transmission.
* Shaft drive
All cars that exclude the F&G series are the shaft drive models in BMWs though being equipped only by partially two wheel car in a Japanese car because the tail lift when starting is disliked. It is an advantage that it is almost maintenance free compared with the chain drive, and there is no power loss by sliding of the chain.
* Dry single board clutch
This method that the engine clutch and the changing the speed machine can be thinned more than a general multiplate wet clutch to queue up in length in the putting the length of the engine layout is adopted. (The multiplate wet clutch is adopted it is necessary to reduce the diameter to thickness in the K series of an engine horizontal putting instead of being able to do room. )
It is ardent to the adoption of the new departure, and adopts the following technologies for a car
on the market one after another in advance of another manufacturer in recent years.
* Pararebarriasaspention
Suspension developed to suppress tail lift when starting becoming problem in shaft drive being adopted first with R100GS in 1987. Naming is done by the synthesis of "Parallel" and "Lever".
Middle..winding..point..have..swing..arm ..arm..compose..link mechanics..rear wheel..actually..long..swing..arm..maint ain..tracks..draw..vertical motion.
* Tererebarfrontosaspention
It the first adopts it with R1100RS put on the market in 1993. Naming is done by the synthesis of "Telescopic" and "Lever".
Handling changes by the two-wheeled vehicle in a general telescopic fork reception desk suspension so that the caster angle may change along with the stroke, too. Moreover, the steer stability becomes small as the caster angle after it sinks greatly at the sudden deceleration and the buffer stroke is insufficient stands. Under such a condition, extremely dangerous phenomena such as the steering wheel's the front wheel's splashing when a strong pushing up is received from the road and swinging are generated. It is a thing developed to avoid this.
There is an evaluation of transferring it from the little movement of the front wheel forward when the suspension shrinks while excelled in the control stability compared with a telescopic expression by one step in a super-high-speed buffer ability, too. Moreover, it is difficult on the structure to enlarge the stroke.
By the way, it is BMWs to have adopted the telescopic expression reception desk suspension for the two-wheeled vehicle of mass-producing on the market first in the world. (R12,1935)
R series(two horizontal opposing cylinder engine)
R is taking of the initial of Rad (wheel and bicycle). The camshaft is on the side of the cylinder, and the valve can be classified there into drive and high cam OHV by a short push rod. The ground amount of the cylinder is higher than that of old R series.
