June 24, 2026, 3:01 p.m. ET President Donald Trump, in a tantrum that would make a 3-year-old blush, kneecapped his own party and canceled an affordable housing bill signing, saying it “pales in comparison” with an election bill. The one that would benefit one person: Donald Trump. The June 24 mess was a perfect encapsulation…

剛去了武夷山看茶山及品毛茶，滿腔熱血，可惜回到香港一直未有機會好好練習功夫茶，趁着長假，終於可以約茶友一齊練習了！ 記得上課時，老師提過練習要有方法，一定要專注地用心、用腦分析自己做得好的步驟和做得差的地方；品茶時亦要仔細記住香氣、味道及口感的變化，再分析哪個細節做得不足，才能有進步。他稱這種有要求的練習為「有效練習」，否則，得過且過、馬馬虎虎，只求做齊所有形式卻沒有細想，哪怕泡茶上百次，進步亦相當有限，偶爾泡得一手好茶，卻仍然未能掌握當中竅門。 我品鑑的能力仍然很皮毛，單靠自己在家苦練，連自己泡成怎樣都不懂得評論，實在難以達致有效練習。於是一有機會，我便喜歡相約茶友齊齊練習，大家有傾有講，還可以觀察茶友納茶、注水的手法。有創意又大膽的茶友，更會自行修改某些細節，笑稱自己是「邪修」，想看看是否有更容易上手的方法，務求令自己泡得更好。這樣跟茶友泡上一天，實在令我提升不少！ 今次，我們除了泡自己熟悉的水仙和肉桂，茶友更帶來自己珍藏的岩茶，大家品嘗後嘗試分析茶類，亦十分有趣。我們更泡了二○二四年的鬼洞奇種，一起回憶鬼洞之路；由於只是製作兩年，還未褪火，真的火氣十足！大伙兒還是決定先收藏，待下年、再下年拿出來感受它的變化。 「有效練習」這個概念，其實放諸其他事物亦然，沒有用心的話，做起事上來可能「似模似樣」，但實際得益與收穫可能差天共地。或許不需要每一件事都強迫自己達致「有效」，但面對重視的事物，還是應該上心一點吧！ Source link

A five-year-old boy died after his mother physically abused, confined and starved him until he was a mere 9.7kg (21.38lbs) – half the normal weight for his age – a Hong Kong court has heard.
