Enjoyed this short video on a fascinating artifact called the Antikythera Mechanism. Nowadays we think of a computer as something with a silicon chip inside. But this was a mechanical computer, made by the ancient Greeks. It had intricate precision gears, like a fancy Swiss watch, but is more than 2,000 years old!

The device was discovered in an ancient shipwreck off Antikythera Island in 1901 (hence the name). But only fairly recently could scientists look inside the device, using advanced 3D x-ray and modelling technology. They were astonished to find the device did astronomical calculations, to track the movements of the sun, moon and (maybe) planets, and even predict eclipses!

Today, anyone can download smartphone apps that accurately track galaxies, stars, planets, asteroids and more. But nobody imagined the ancient Greeks had the technology and engineering to conceive and create such a sophisticated device!

We are not cleverer than previous generations, but stand on their shoulders. We too should aspire to create and leave something for future generations to marvel at. – LHL

Apple Daily 英文專欄：
After the media, landlords will be the next target
https://hk.appledaily.com/opinion/20210517/BIW343AKIRHSTGFFTVT4Q26I7I/

This is a game of boiling frogs. Protesters and politicians are the first group of people to be snatched. The message is that “only a small number of people” are targeted. The aim is to create a deterrence effect. I won’t go into detail here as there are only so many column inches. Meanwhile, some outspoken media outlets are being sorted out. For example, leading journalists of the mainstream outlet Cable TV (1097.HK) have resigned en masse not long ago, and Bao Choy, a producer of RTHK’s “Hong Kong Connection”, was prosecuted last month.

In the latest incident, the government has frozen Jimmy Lai’s assets, including 71.26 percent of his shares in Apple Daily’s parent company Next Digital (0282.HK), of which he is the major shareholder, as well as his holdings in three other private companies held in local banks.

After sorting out members of the opposition and media outlets that monitor the government, the focus of the game will be shifted to landlords, in similar vein as the Land Reform launched by Mao Zedong in the 1950s that saw the confiscation of landlords’ land.

Having collected in April a plot of land in Kam Sheung Road from CK Asset (1113.HK) and Henderson Land (0012.HK), citing the Land Resumption Ordinance, the government brandished its sword to Sun Hung Kai Properties (0016.HK) and New World Development (0017.HK), seizing from them plots of land in Yuen Long and Fanling this month, on grounds that it needs to build subsidized housing. So Hong Kong’s four biggest property developers have all got their fair share of being targeted, and Yuen Long rural leaders who gained notoriety in 2019 are not spared either.

Offering rewards based on merits is not an approach the current regime adopts. Following the 1967 riots, the British colonial government rewarded rural villages for showing it support during the riots by launching the Small Housing Policy (also known as the “Ding House Policy”) that took effect in December 1972. But rural leaders today will not see a replay of that. In 2019, they went to great lengths to help the authorities. Alas, some ding house landlords have recently been arrested by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and some other rural villagers have had their ancestral houses seized by the government on grounds of the Land Resumption Ordinance.

Today, the ordinance can be used to target anyone, and no one can figure out the government’s land seizure strategy. The plots collected by the government are not those that have long remained undeveloped but those with clearly laid out development plans. Apparently, what the government is doing has no logic. On the face of it, it occupies the moral high ground, when in fact it may just want to demonstrate its authority.

On the internal side of things, the Hong Kong government and its disciplinary forces are on life support as they have been deprived of their real power. Externally, politicians, the media, businessmen and the rural elite are being targeted. Who will be the next target? Taking reference from the history of certain political party, one may note that there are not only licensed thugs but also unlicensed ones who are active in the underground economy. Who will call the shot after midnight in Hong Kong tomorrow? What do you think?

In the movie “Men Suddenly in Black”, Ninth Uncle and his buddies secretly went to a nightclub, only to be busted by their wives. To help his brothers flee, Ninth Uncle sacrificed himself. In today’s Hong Kong, who is Ninth Uncle? While you guys are having fun, have you ever spared a thought for Ninth Uncle? Or will you be the next Ninth Uncle?

I walked 100,000 steps in 24 hours and it was the hardest physically and mental challenge I have ever done!

I explored Macau on my 100,000 steps challenge, using my Garmin watch to record my steps. It works similarly to a fitbit, recording the amount of steps you do while walking.

I wanted to do this extreme adventure challenge to test my limits and see if I could walk 100,000 steps in a day.

As a challenge itself, it was very difficult but what made it harder was the fact that I filmed it all solo. I used my camera and tripod, carrying all my gear on my back for the 24 hour hiking challenge.

There were extreme highs and lows in this crazy travel experience however finishing it at 22 hours of walking was the most rewarding feeling in the world.

The distance of 100,000 steps is around 50 miles or 80km and I had never done anything close to that distance.

Many ultra marathons are 50 miles but I was only walking not running so it was not as bad as that! (perhaps next time I can try!)

I walked around Macau, exploring off the beaten path and discovering hidden gems all around the place. With this many steps to do I really could walk down every alleyway and street in Macau, exploring all the areas I had never travelled to before.

Macau is a great city for a challenge like this as I could explore so many different urban and natural environments, walking and hiking at the scenic Penha Hills for sunrise. When hiking off trail I even found 2 abandoned buildings that were awesome fun to explore.

I also walked past Ama Temple, the oldest temple in Macau at over 500 years old. The whole area around this Chinese temple is full of interesting history and a wonderful travel destination for things to do in Macau.

I walked down the red street, Senado Square, Hong Kung Temple and went to a secret travel destination called Sun Yat Sen Park. This park found on the border of Zhuhai offers great nature spots and very beautiful walks through greenery. It is certainly a hidden gem of Macau and worth travelling to or visiting when in Macau whether you live in Macau or are visiting on a Macau day trip from Hong Kong or China.

I then walked to Kun Iam Temple, exploring the ancient garden, off the beaten path and far from the crowds there are so many things to discover here it really makes for a great outdoor hiking adventure!

I walked over the Macau bridge to Taipa, exploring Old Taipa Village and then going back to the Grand Lisboa Hotel. Here back in Macau side you can find photogenic neon lit streets perfect for urban exploring or night photography.

Overall walking 100,000 steps in 1 day was an awesome adventure and a crazy travel challenge. Thank you to Garmin for recording all my steps!

I really hope you enjoyed this adventure video in Macau and if you would like to see more adventure vlogs like this one or more travel content in Macau, please let me know!

Thank you so much for watching this adventure challenge and I will see you in the next video!

10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE JAPANESE EMPEROR 天皇

Just prior to Christmas, on the 23rd of December, it is the current Japanese Emperor, Akihito’s birthday. It is a national holiday in Japan (天皇誕生日).

1) WORLD'S OLDEST MONARCHY

The Japanese monarchy, The Imperial House of Japan, is the oldest, continuous hereditary monarchy in the world.

Compared to other monarchies, you have the British Monarchy starting at 1066 and the the Danish Monarchy at 935. For the Japanese Monarchy, we’re going back to 660BC, which started with the legendary Japanese Emperor Jimmu.

2) DESCENDENT OF GODS

Shinto is the largest religion in Japan, and the line of Japanese Emperors are said to be the direct descendants of several Shinto gods, the most notable being the Sun goddess, Amaterasu.

The Emperor is the ceremonial head of state in Japan, but it makes sense that with his divine ancestry, he is also officially the head of the Shinto religion itself.

3) TERRITORY-INDEPENDENT PHENOMENON

As odd as it may seem, the title of Emperor (or Tennō) has never really been about territorial designations. Contrast this with European monarchs who often wanted to conquer and control additional territory.

In fact, the position of Emperor is a territory-independent phenomenon. In other words, the Emperor is the Emperor regardless if he has followers in the whole of Japan or in only one province.

4) EMPEROR'S CAPACITY

From 1192 to 1867, the shoguns held the real power (Shoguns being the military commanders of the time). The Emperor still officially nominated the Shoguns to their positions, but this was largely ceremonial.

Today, the Japanese Constitution vests executive power in the Prime Minister and his Cabinet.

5) POLYGAMY

The Japanese imperial dynasty consistently practiced official polygamy.

Besides his empress, the Emperor could take several secondary consorts or concubines; which helped produce more offspring for the imperial clan

6) FIRST COMMONER WIFE

In the history of the Japanese Imperial Family, there was never an Emperor who had a commoner as wife or even concubine. That is, until now.

The current Emperor of Japan married Empress Michiko, a commoner! She was not from the former court nobility nor from one of the former branches of the Imperial Family. Michiko was the daughter of an industrialist

7) FISH SCIENCE

(Ichthyology = Fish Science)
The Emperor is a published ichthyological researcher, having written papers for several scholarly journals, and has specialised studies within the taxonomy of the family Gobiidae. Random

8) STOP GAP EMPRESSES

Generally, it has been males who have ascended Japan’s Chrysanthemum Throne. However, if a suitable male was not available, there have been times where women have ascended the throne; almost as a stop gap measure.

Of the 125 monarchs, there have been 8 women who have reigned on 10 different occasions. 2 of them reigned twice.

Once a suitable male descendant was considered old enough to rule, many Empresses, and even Emperors, abdicated or relinquished the throne

9) CHILD EMPERORS

Over a thousand years ago, a tradition started that an Emperor should ascend young. If he had passed his toddler years, he was said to be old enough. Being a child was apparently a fine property

10) ABDICATING TREND

Abdication was very common. Actually it was more frequent than death on the throne. The Emperors tasks involved so many repetitive rituals that after about ten years of service, it was deemed a reasonable compensation to live the rest of their lives in pampered retirement!
