A visit here becomes an exercise in peeling back layers of sooty, hard-working history to arrive at a shinier, bustling and hopeful present.

沒去過Manchester, England,可惜。

HKFP_History: Traders, missionaries, Indian doctors and accountants, South East Asian textile and produce traders, European importers of machinery - all played their part in making Hong Kong what it is today. But who actually extended Hong Kong Island beyond its narrow, messy waterfront into what we now call the central business district? Vaudine England goes back in time...
Many different people have claimed credit over almost 200 years for the…

A Catalan Log That Poops Nougats At Christmas. The three pro-Catalan independence parties won a majority ; 巴塞羅那75萬人上街 要求馬德里釋放被押獨立派領袖


NPR
In Spain, imploring a log to poop candy with sticks and threats is as magical as waiting to hear the sound of sleigh bells on the roof of your house.
Catalan holiday tradition involves a log that's fed scraps of food for several weeks leading up to Christmas. Then, it's beaten with a stick and implored to poop out a Spanish nougat called turrón.

Straits of Tiran 蒂朗海峽


蒂朗海峽阿拉伯語: مضيق تيران ;希伯來語מיצרי טיראן),是一條位於埃及西奈半島沙烏地阿拉伯之間的狹窄海峽,因海峽中的蒂朗島(Tiran)而得名,寬約13公里,北連亞喀巴灣(Gulf of Aqaba),南通紅海,是約旦唯一出海通道,也是以色列在紅海上的唯一出海通道,地理位置十分重要。
埃及曾兩次針對以色列封鎖蒂朗海峽,分別導致了蘇伊士危機六日戰爭,其時並接管阿卡巴灣的蒂朗和塞納菲爾(Sanafir)2座無人島,因此2016年計畫將2座戰略性島嶼歸還沙國,但批評者指出,埃及總統阿卜杜勒-法塔赫·塞西(Abdel Fattah al-Sissi)拿了沙國數10億元,這根本是賣島求財、喪權辱國。

Origins of the Six-Day War - Wikipedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_the_Six-Day_War
このページを訳す
In May 1967, following misinformation about Israeli intentions provided by the Soviet Union, Egypt expelled UN peacekeepers who had been stationed in the Sinai Peninsula since the Suez conflict, and announced a blockade of Israel's access to the Red Sea (international waters) via the Straits of Tiran, which Israel considered an act of war. Tension escalated, with both sides' armies mobilising. Less than a month later, Israel launched a surprise strike which began the Six-Day War.
