人生,快樂著就是幸福的

感情裡,總會有分分合合;
 
生命裡,總會有來來去去。
 
 
學會:
 

淺淺喜歡,靜靜愛,深深思索,淡淡釋懷。
慢慢的才知道:

人這一輩子,要經得起謊言,受得起敷衍,
 
忍得住欺騙,忘得了諾言。
愛過了,才會嘗到快樂和傷心的滋味;

恨過了,才會知道珍惜和寬容。

與其讓自己變得頹廢,不如讓自己活得更精彩。
慢慢的才知道:
 

沒有風的日子,雲是雨的守望;

沒有夢的日子,等待會荒廢時光。
這個世界上,誰也不是誰的永遠,
唱一曲風花雪月,
吟一闋歲月靜好,

煙火、流年、紅塵、滄桑,淺淺遇,淡淡忘。
 
慢慢的才知道:
 

生命於我們,只是滄海一粟,然而,卻承載了太多的情非得已。

聚散離合,痛苦歡笑,呐喊尋覓......因為沒有人知道那個最終的謎底。
慢慢的才知道:

有些人魂牽夢縈,卻只適合放在心底;

有些人波瀾不驚,卻適合相伴一生。

愛情,是一次命中註定的相逢,或駐足,擁抱;
 
或擦肩,回眸,有些走過,很淡,很輕卻很疼.....

慢慢的才知道:
 
人生,總有許多溝坎需要跨越;

歲月,總有許多遺憾需要彌補;

生命,總有許多迷茫需要領悟。
痛並快樂著,思索並追尋著,彩虹總在風雨後。
 
慢慢的才知道:

堅持未必是勝利,放棄未必是認輸,與其華麗撞牆,不如優雅轉身,
 
給自己一個迂回的空間,學會思索,學會等待,學會調整。

所以,我們唯一的選擇,必須是:向前,笑看風,
笑對雨.....

人生,有很多時候,需要的不僅僅是執著,更是回眸一笑的灑脫。
慢慢的才知道: 
因為有許多事不完美,所以我們才追求完美;

因為有許多時候不快樂,所以我們才渴望快樂。

 
生活,

原本就是完美與缺憾的交響;


 
人生,

原本就是痛苦和快樂的和聲,輸掉什麼,不可以輸掉微笑;捨棄什麼,
 
不可以捨棄快樂。

 
慢慢的才知道:

人在旅途,有許多錯過,痛斷肝腸;有許多遇見,
念念不忘。
 
一些夢想,可能會換來一身的疲憊;
一些尋找,讓它隨風,未必不是輕鬆。
向前走,走過不屬於或屬於自己的風景,
 
學會收藏,學會遺忘,更要學會堅強。
慢慢的才知道: 
真心對一個人好,不一定有回報,而你忽略的人,可能對你最真。

很多東西,可遇而不可求;很多東西,一 生只能一次擁有。
 
 
歲月中,忘記不了的就銘記;
 
生命中,堅持不了的就放棄,
 
人生,原本就是一次歷練,快樂著就是幸福的。

AOHK statement on June 4th venue change

Press Release  (June 9, 2015)
By:  Association of Overseas Hong Kong Chinese for Democracy & Human Rights (AOHK)

Subject:     Inquiries & reporting about change of venue of a presentation by Dr. Teng Biao, human rights activist and lawyer in China & a visiting fellow at Harvard Law School, as a result of last minute cancellation by the Harvard Kennedy School of Government
1. AOHK has proudly organized the annual 6/4 Memorial and Candlelight Vigil for the last 26 years.
2. Since 1989, 25 of the 26 Memorials have been consistently hosted on Harvard grounds (first being on MIT grounds in 1990). We are grateful to local institutions for providing access to their facilities so that the general public as well as members of the campus community can share these solemn moments with invited speakers.
3. This year, through help by members of the Harvard community, AOHK initially received confirmation 2 weeks ago, that the Starr Auditorium, Harvard Kennedy School of Government had been reserved and could be used for this purpose. The invited speaker, Dr. Teng Biao, human rights activist and lawyer in China, is currently a visiting fellow at Harvard Law School.
4. The day before the event, however, we received notification that Harvard Kennedy School of Government had invalidated the reservation. We were advised to seek alternative location for the event.
5. Despite the loss of access to the Starr Auditorium with short notice, the Memorial & Candlelight Vigil of 6/4/15, along with Dr. Teng's speech, were well attended and received by more than 60 attendees, on the doorsteps to Belfer Building, literally at the main entrance of Harvard Kennedy School of Government. (Cambridge Police Department had been notified June 4 PM).
6. Although the event went very well as a result of every participant's effort and support, AOHK organizers would like to extend our apologies to those who may have been inconvenienced, or confused, by this last minute change of venue.
7. AOHK is puzzled and disappointed by this last minute cancellation of a scheduled use of its facility by Harvard Kennedy School. As organizers we will not speculate on the possible reason(s). Nor do we have any plans to pursue further answers. We do appreciate Harvard for what it has contributed, for the last 25 years, to the AOHK's mission of seeking justice, democracy and human rights in Hong Kong and China.
8. AOHK has and will continue to pick the most appropriate location for hosting future activities, in cooperation with institutions sharing our mission.
9. AOHK believes that the Annual Memorial & Candlelight Vigil, in memory of those befallen in the fight for justice, democracy and human rights in China can NEVER be stopped. This tradition will continue as long as even one citizen from around the globe remembers that the government of Beijing murdered students and its own citizens en masse on June 4, 1989

波士頓僑界紀念抗戰勝利七十週年

駐波士頓台北經濟文化辦事處和大波士頓僑界合作,六月五日下午在波士頓華僑文教中心集會,放映馬英九總統視訊會議片段,請田在勱等專家回顧歷史,表揚三名二次世界大戰老兵,紀念抗日戰爭勝利70週年。

今年是抗日戰爭七十週年,台灣已定九月三日軍人節時舉辦紀念活動,中國也先有外交部於三月宣佈,訂九月三日舉行兵儀式,再有國務院於五月九日發佈通知,九月三日為抗日勝利紀念日,放假一天。
大波士頓地區僑界在五日這天的集會中,有如上了一堂歷史課,逾百名出席者知道了大波士頓還碩果僅存約三名華裔二戰老兵,飛虎隊協會的歷史及博物館委員會主席Tripp Alyn住在羅德島州,曾任空軍官校校長的田在勱將軍研究飛虎隊歷史已十七年,也從他們的講談,對當年許多事蹟,有了更近深入的了解。
駐波士頓台北經濟文化辦事處處長賴銘琪在致詞中強調抗日戰爭勝利的重要,直指沒有愛國軍民當年“八千里路雲和月”的艱苦跋涉,前仆後繼,就沒有今日的台灣,中國。
當天的活動,除了紀念抗日勝利七十週年,還由經文處長賴銘琪頒獎表揚波士頓華埠碩果僅存的幾名二戰老兵,包括曾參與D-Day,1944年六月六日法國諾曼地戰役的黃君裕,曾經是空軍第十四分隊成員,也是飛虎隊一員的黃廷琛,陳邦等人。他們幾人都已年近九十,一百。
紀念活動中的座談,由紐英崙中華專業人員協會董事長王世輝主持。歷史及博物館委員會主席Tripp Alyn,目前在華府擔任顧問的前空軍官校校長田在勱,分別從美國,台灣角度,講述飛虎隊種種。
Tripp Alyn透露,由於飛虎隊的名聲,全美各地現有至少廿五個博物館辦有飛虎隊展覽。
田在勱研究飛虎隊迄今已十七年,經常應邀講談飛虎隊,製作有不下132頁的幻燈片資料,從飛虎隊的成立,中美混合聯隊,空中戰役,打贏的戰術,飛虎標誌,鯊魚標誌,榮譽傳統等等,有非常詳細的資料。
他指出,飛虎隊源起於約翰喬約特少校協助中華民國空軍(ROCAF)培訓了350名飛行駕駛,從美國及歐洲買了250架飛機。後來陳納德將軍擔任顧問,爭取到羅斯福總統同意,1941年三月十五日簽署租借法案,成立了美國志願團(AVG)。其後正式名稱為第十四空軍分隊的飛虎隊正式於1943年三月十日成立。
田在勱一邊講飛虎隊的歷史,一邊透露,經由他爭取到的陳香梅信任,台灣中研院現存有一份陳納德將軍日記影本,以及約分五大類的各種珍貴文物史料。明年他從現職退休後,預定回台灣繼續研究工作。
王世輝表示,田在勱手邊的史料太豐富,紐英崙中華專業人員協會已決定年底請他再來波士頓一趟,更深入的細談。

文協家庭夜 祖孫三代同歡

唱歌、跳舞,扯鈴,秀功夫。大波士頓中華文化協會(GBCCA)六月七日晚在F. A. Day中學舉行的“家庭夜”活動,祖孫三代,濟濟一堂。
            文協今年的“家庭夜”,隨著會內組織繁多,排了不下十七個節目。
            會長周映秋致詞後,兩名青少年賴欣潔,潭鼎翰擔任主持人,輪流以中英文介紹各項演出節目。會上還頒發義工服務獎給兩名獲金獎者,Ryan LinEmily Brittany Chen,以及四名獲銅獎者。
            大波士頓中華文化協會家庭夜的表演,每年都有如該會麾下各個組織的成果展,包括華心中文學校的功夫班,中文班,舞蹈班;華心藝術學校的扯鈴班,波士頓二胡團,水底魚打擊樂隊,功夫班;文協課後中文班,文協青少年國樂團,以及依序由Ding Ding,蔡君柔,楊曉蓓,周娜等人指導的iDance舞蹈隊, 佳韻舞集, 波士頓健身腰鼓隊,知音舞韻,明珠舞蹈等團隊,有不下九大組織。
華心中文學校陳弘指導的功夫班,以舞獅拉開序幕。
陳弘為華心藝術學校指導的功夫班,上演功夫舞劇,展現少女們學功夫後,輕易力剋歹徒情景,逗得台下觀眾笑不可抑,成為全場氣氛最輕鬆的一段表演。
朱友珍指導的扯鈴,由不下十名隊員演出”繩鈴在手,千變萬化“,照例是觀眾最愛,掌聲最熱烈的表演項目之一。
陳志新指導的文協青少年國樂團,水底魚打擊樂隊,從”劉三姐“,”江南風韻“的柔和,變化為”滾核桃“,”神采飛楊“的振振有聲,引得台下一些小小朋友都被樂音引得手舞足蹈。
在一眾表演中,成立約五年的波士頓健身腰鼓隊是其中一個頗特別團體,三十多名成員,有四人是兄弟姐妹。身為二哥的楊曉民透露,他那從小就喜愛跳舞的妹妹楊曉蓓和四弟楊曉華,發現波士頓沒有一個以喜慶為主的健身腰鼓隊,讓有點年紀的人,既能享受跳舞的樂趣,還得健身效果,於是發起成立了”波士頓健身腰鼓隊“,成員現有三十多人。
當天還有一個特別表演節目,即將從高中畢業的李大貴,獨奏揚琴。
            文協會長周映秋會後感恩非常地表示,文協幹部們的齊心合力,從來都讓人激賞,七日晚的演出成功,絕大部份觀眾都留到最後一分鐘,再一次證明文協成員的合作無間。無論是活動組的劉瑋珊,負責音響的李劉平,管燈光的史先澍等等,各人分盡職守,在台上,台下忙前忙後,才能有那麼成功的一場演出。唯一的美中不足,是一名觀眾突然身體不適,還得召救護車,但萬幸一切平安。

MAN SENTENCED IN BANK ROBBERY SPREE

MAN SENTENCED IN BANK ROBBERY SPREE
 
BOSTON – A Boston area man was sentenced yesterday for robbing three banks in June 2014 and stealing over $18,000. 
 
Edward Stone, 26, was sentenced by U.S. District Court Judge Denise J. Casper to 80 months in prison, three years of supervised release, and restitution of $18,257.  In March 2015, Stone pleaded guilty to three counts of bank robbery. 
 
On June 7, 2014, Stone walked into a TD Bank in Braintree holding a notebook and approached the bank teller.  He showed the teller a written note demanding money in “Big Bills” [sic].  While speaking to the teller, he also threatened to “blow [her] head off” if she did not follow his instructions.  Stone left the bank with $7,363 moments after he entered. 
 
On June 12, 2014, Stone entered a TD Bank in Hingham at 11:24 a.m.  Once again, he presented a note demanding money and told the teller, “This is a robbery.  Give me the money.”  Stone stole $3,796 from the bank. 
 
On June 20, 2014, Stone robbed the TD Bank in Braintree for the second time.  Stone approached the same teller he victimized on June 7 and once again demanded money.  Stone left the bank forty seconds after entering with $7,098 in cash. 
 
Following each robbery, the tellers and other witnesses identified Stone from a photo array. 
 
Police arrested him on June 25, 2014.  After his arrest, Stone gave a videotaped confession in which he admitted to all three robberies. 
 
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz; Vincent B. Lisi, Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Field Division; Colonel Timothy P. Alben, Superintendent of the Massachusetts State Police; Chief Russell Jenkins of the Braintree Police Department; and Chief Michael Peraino of the Hingham Police Department, made the announcement.  This case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian A. Pérez-Daple of Ortiz’s Economic Crimes Unit. 

GOLDBERG SAYS BUSINESS COMMUNITY AN ESSENTIAL PARTNER IN ECONOMIC AGENDA FOR SHARED PROSPERITY

GOLDBERG SAYS BUSINESS COMMUNITY AN ESSENTIAL PARTNER IN ECONOMIC AGENDA FOR SHARED PROSPERITY

Calls for Continued Investments in Our Workforce, Infrastructure and Schools to Boost Economic Growth

BOSTON – Speaking at the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Forum today, State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg highlighted her agenda to prudently manage the state’s finances and partner with private employers across the Commonwealth to address a range of economic issues, including financial literacy, wage equality, and the widening skills gap.

“The fact remains that even as we experience widespread prosperity in Massachusetts, too many communities and families are still struggling,” Goldberg said. “As your treasurer, I intend to forge new partnerships, break down the divides across sectors and agencies, and build a Commonwealth that enables its economy and its people to realize their full potential.”

View the attached PDF document to read the Treasurer’s full remarks as prepared for delivery.

Goldberg said she will carry out her agenda by protecting the state’s bond rating, maximizing Lottery profits, achieving strong performance returns at the state pension fund, and providing a transparent and efficient process for Massachusetts bond investors. In addition to underscoring the importance of existing efforts to engage with business leaders through her Task Force on Financial Literacy and Advisory Committee on Wage Equality, the Treasurer also shared a range of initiatives and upcoming announcements, including the following:

·       A pilot program this fall that will create college savings accounts for kindergarteners;

·       A structured flextime program at the Treasurer’s Office, providing the option for alternative work schedules to help all employees better adjust their work-life balance;

·       New practices for working with Treasury vendors to enhance their pay-equity policies; and,

·       Utilizing a labor market analysis, commissioned by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) and performed by the Northeastern University Dukakis Center for Urban and Regional Policy, to address the skills gap by better aligning technology, equipment and capital projects in schools with the jobs and subsequent skills students will need to fill those positions.

A businesswoman, local official and community leader, Goldberg took office as Massachusetts State Treasurer in January 2015 pledging to protect taxpayer dollars with disciplined fiscal management, bring new levels of transparency to state government, and advance policies that break down barriers and create economic empowerment.
