普世數學教育的興起與信仰的關係 張文亮教授的觀點，待查語源。他錯誤。翻譯成清教徒，有時為對的，因為字源為拉丁文，意思為purity 純的等。

「求你指教我們怎樣數算自己的日子，好叫我們得著智慧的心。」(詩篇九十:12)

數學教育的重視，來自十六世紀中期的「清教徒的信仰」。「清教徒」Puritan，這字是precisionist的「精確者」意思。

Word History

Etymology

Noun

probably from Late Latin puritas purity

這非常特別，許多人接受信仰，是尋求幫助，尋求安慰，尋求力量，尋求平安等，但是歷經逼迫的這批基督徒，是尋求精確。

這批基督徒，堅持「精確」的信心，是來自上帝的救贖，產生蒙恩的經歷，信心為基礎的蒙恩經歷，超過人的理性，宗教的傳統，世上的權威。

堅持「精確」的信仰是來自個人與上帝的關係，不是人工的。

堅持「精確」的信仰是來自聖經的真理，不是自然界的現象。

者三個堅持影響了人類的數學思維，在1650年代，這批基督徒在牛津與劍橋大學，成立「數學系」，開啟日後普世的數學教育。為什麼是「數學」？

第一， 數學是「符號」，不是「文字」。文字經常有幾個不同的意思，一樣的文字，不同的引用，產生吊詭性的爭議。

精確的表達，必須用符號，例如1就是1，不會有其他的意思。精確的表達，是用數學建立的符號系統，喜愛精確，就會喜愛數學，這就是數學的重要。

第二，上帝創造，與維護宇宙的運行，是「法則」，如太初有「道」，不是機會。「法則」有上帝給人的啟示，有上帝留在自然界的。

而自然界的法則，是可以用數學去表達。數學可以去表達靜態的長、闊、高、深，表達動態的變化，如速度、加速度、時間等，數學成可量測世界的精確。

第三，數學可以公式化，精確的預測未來，或精確的說明過去的變化。法則化，必先數學化。數學的用處，在印證上帝創造宇宙的法則。

第四，數學有「絕對值」，有「無窮大」，有「初始值」，這是呈現上帝屬性的絕對、無窮，保守世界的始與終。

第五，數學教育的目的，在認識上帝的屬性、作為與安排，而非為了職業的用途、生活的運用、科學的研究等。

第六，數學讓人回到起初，如同0，由那裡算起。

第七，數學是智慧的學習，與學習的智慧，有許多巧妙的運算，也讓人學習專心與忍耐。

第八，數學是合主心意的溝通，聖經歷代志(上、下)、列王紀(上、下)是數學年代學，但以理書與啟示錄有末世的數學。

數學的教育在提醒我們，學什麼是「對」，比學什麼更重要。這樣的認識，500年來，普世數學教育的興起。現在許多學生，已經不易知道為甚麼要學數學，願這文章，補上一點點學生的空白。

In 2000, after Binoche accepted the lead role in Chocolat, the film adapted from Joanne Harris' book, she turned up uninvited on the doorstep of Harris' home in Yorkshire. They spent the weekend together, discussing the book and the film. Binoche's performance as chocolatier Vianne Rocher brought her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Chocolat is a 1999 novel by Joanne Harris. It tells the story of Vianne Rocher, a young mother, who arrives at a fictional insular French village of Lansquenet-sous-Tannes with her six-year-old daughter, Anouk. Vianne opens La Céleste Praline, a small chocolaterie, and her confections quickly begin to change the lives of the townspeople through magic, setting up a conflict with Francis Reynaud, the parish curate. Chocolat is a recent contribution to the literary stream of Magic Realism.
Harris has indicated that several of the book's characters were influenced by individuals in her life:^[1] Her daughter forms the basis for the young Anouk, including her imaginary rabbit, Pantoufle. Harris' strong-willed and independent great-grandmother influenced her portrayal of both Vianne and the elderly Armande.
Chocolat is the French spelling of "chocolate", and is pronounced [ʃɔkɔˈla].



Mr. Bloomberg’s Chevrolet Suburban soon nosed into City Hall, and as the mayor walked to his work space on the second floor known as the bullpen, the deputy went to a basement “situation room,” conceived after the 2003 blackout but activated only weeks ago. The deputy turned on camera feeds and phones. Upstairs, the mayor’s first call was not to his police commissioner, but to the federal transportation secretary, Mary E. Peters — because there was “no evidence of criminality,” Mr. Bloomberg’s deputy said.



Ned is a derogatory term applied to certain young people in Scotland (similar to the terms chav* used in Wales and England, skanger in Ireland, and spide in Northern Ireland). The stereotypical view of a ned is a white adolescent male, of working class background, who wears fake Burberry, who engages in hooliganism, petty criminality, loutish behaviour, underage drinking and smoking or general anti-social behaviour^[1]. They are often assumed to be unemployed.

Ewan Morrison: 'Neds should be eliminated. I came to this conclusion just before I called the police'The politically correct are right in a sense – words can exert a powerful influence. Through the word Ned becoming commonplace (check out the Oxford English Dictionary) it shows that, as a society, we're accepting Neds as part of our daily lives. To compound the problem, Neds are now looked upon with smiling eyes as a symbol of Scottish authenticity. Over and above the affectionate portrayals in TV shows such as Still Game, there are websites that celebrate all things Neddy – including Burberry, Buckfast and Neddette fashions.

criminality noun [U]

criminally
adverb

"Criminally hot" is a phrase used to describe attractive individuals whose mugshots have gone viral, often sparking internet fascination and discussion. This phenomenon is sometimes linked to the concept of hybristophilia, an attraction to those who commit crimes, though not all who find these mugshots appealing necessarily experience that. The term often refers to individuals who, despite their legal troubles, possess striking features that make them appear almost like professional models. 

The phrase gained prominence due to the popularity of certain mugshots, most notably that of Jeremy Meeks, who became known as the "hot felon" after his mugshot went viral. His case highlighted how attractive individuals in unfortunate circumstances can become internet sensations, and even parlay their notoriety into modeling careers. 

Here's a breakdown of the concept:

• Attraction to Criminals:

  The term "criminally hot" highlights the unusual intersection of criminal activity and physical attractiveness. 
• Mugshot Viralization:

  The phenomenon involves mugshots of attractive individuals becoming widely circulated online, often on social media platforms. 
• Internet Sensation:

  These individuals can become internet celebrities, with their images generating significant attention and discussion. 
• Hybristophilia:

  While not everyone who finds these mugshots appealing experiences hybristophilia, it's a relevant concept to consider in understanding the broader context of the phenomenon.

「性感罪犯」一詞用來形容那些照片在網路上瘋傳、經常引發網路熱議的魅力人士。這種現像有時與「性感罪犯癖」（hybristophilia）的概念連結在一起，指的是對犯罪者的吸引力，但並非所有被這些照片吸引的人都必然有這種感覺。這個詞通常指那些儘管身陷法律糾紛，卻擁有驚人外表、幾乎堪比職業模特兒的人。

這個詞因某些照片的流行而聲名鵲起，其中最著名的是傑里米·米克斯（Jeremy Meeks）的照片，他的照片在網上瘋傳後被稱為“性感罪犯”。他的案例凸顯了魅力人士在不幸的情況下如何成為網路紅人，甚至利用他們的名聲進入模特兒界。

以下是該概念的解析：

對罪犯的吸引力：

「性感罪犯」一詞突顯了犯罪活動與外貌吸引力之間不尋常的交集。

嫌犯照片病毒式傳播：

這種現象指的是魅力人物的嫌犯照片在網路上廣泛傳播，尤其是在社群媒體平台上。

網路爆紅：

這些人可能會成為網路名人，他們的照片會引發大量關注和討論。

「炫耀癖」：

雖然並非所有覺得這些嫌犯照片有吸引力的人都會患上“炫耀癖”，但這是一個值得思考的概念，有助於理解這一現象的更廣泛背景。

“Hot,” “sexy,” “beautiful,” “cute” and “pretty” are not adjectives you’d usually use for criminal arrest mugshots. But some people are so photogenic and stylish that their hot mugshots set the internet on fire and create a media sensation. Jeremy Meeks (also known as the “hot felon” and “hot mugshot guy”) even utilized his sexy mugshot as a springboard to launch a successful career as a fashion model.

"Criminally insane" refers to a legal concept where a person, at the time of committing a crime, is found to have been suffering from a mental disease or defect that prevented them from understanding the nature of their actions or that their actions were wrong. This is often used as a defense in criminal trials. Essentially, it means the person's mental state at the time of the crime was such that they cannot be held fully responsible for their actions.
