* 颶風亨利在美國東北部帶來停電和創紀錄的降雨

預計風暴將於周一晚上繼續經過美國東岸的地區·並降下傾盆大雨，多個州已進行洪水監測。

美國國家氣象局氣象學家表示，週六和周日光紐約市的降雨量為 7.04 英寸，是自 2011 年颶風艾琳以來最大的兩天降雨量。

週日，颶風亨利以狂風和暴雨襲擊美國東北部，導致羅德島沿海大部分地區停電，康州被迫疏散，紐澤西州數十名駕車者受困，紐約市的降雨量記錄也破紀錄。

這場熱帶氣旋在登陸羅德島數小時前，從颶風降級，使該地區免於最嚴重的影響，並在向北移動時迅速減弱。周日下午亨利颶風的高峰期，風暴使從紐澤西州到緬因州的 140,000 多戶家庭斷電。

這場風暴——繼上個月艾爾莎之後，也是本季第二次襲擊美國東北部的颶風——促使羅德島普羅維登斯和麻州新貝德福德關閉其港口的颶風閘門。這是自 2012 年的桑迪颶風以來。他們第一次為風暴關閉颶風閘門。

長島的國家氣象局氣象學家多米尼克·拉蒙尼 (Dominic Ramunni) 表示，預計到週一晚上，該地區仍將繼續傾盆大雨——再下雨 3 英寸。在紐約、紐澤西、康乃迪克、羅德島、麻州、佛蒙特和新罕布什爾州部分地區，洪水警報將一直持續到週一晚上。週日晚上，它已降級為熱帶低氣壓。

* 阿富汗最新消息：拜登考慮在8 月 31 日之後持續撤離工作：拜登重申他讓美國人和阿富汗人離開喀布爾是的堅定意志，並表示他將保證所有撤離的阿富汗盟友，未來在美國會有一個家。

拜登說阿富汗撤離的最後期限可能會延長。

* 拜登總統的國家安全顧問周日警告，伊斯蘭國發動恐怖襲擊的威脅對政府從喀布爾國際機場撤離數千名美國人和阿富汗盟友構成嚴重威脅。

“威脅是真實的。它是急性的。它是持久的。國家安全顧問蘇利文在 CNN 的“國情咨文”節目中說，這是我們撤離計劃中的每一個人都關注的問題。

官員們說，他的評論是迄今為止關於情報和軍事官員私下向拜登先生及其高級幕僚簡報情勢中最緊迫的發言。

蘇利文先生和其他美國高級軍事或情報官員，都未提供有關威脅或其具體性的詳細來源。然而，現任和前任官員表示，ISIS可攻擊的範圍從對哈米德卡爾扎伊國際機場起飛或降落的運輸機發動導彈襲擊，到載有炸彈的卡車或滲透至機場外人群自殺式炸彈式攻擊，皆有可能。

* 為了回答紐約時報讀者如何幫助世界各地阿富汗難民，列出一些在美國、加拿大和英國接受阿富汗安置計劃的註冊慈善機構、組織和基金。

《美國》

人權第一：正在尋求無償律師幫助阿富汗撤離人員。

國際難民援助項目：正在募集捐款，為流離失所的阿富汗人提供法律服務。

路德會移民和難民服務中心：志工可在其官方網站註冊頁面，看到如何協助阿富汗難民從機場出發、入住公寓或提供膳食。

信守我們的承諾：總部位於紐約州羅徹斯特，他們未來將提供阿富汗難民安置服務，包括技能培訓和住宿。

自 1984 年以來一直在阿富汗開展業務的國際醫療隊：在該國提供醫療培訓和服務，並正在為其緊急救濟基金募集捐款。

國際救援委員會的目標是籌集 1000 萬美元，用於在阿富汗“提供救生援助”。該組織的當地分會也在尋找志工，以幫助持阿富汗特殊移民簽證抵達美國的人，尋找工作和住房。

英聯邦天主教慈善機構：與社區組織合作，正在弗吉尼亞州李堡為來自阿富汗的特殊移民簽證持有人提供重新安置服務和兒童保育服務。

擁有大量阿富汗移民的加州佛里蒙特市正在收集捐款，以支持當地慈善機構為新阿富汗移民提供必需品。

位於亞特蘭大的非營利組織 New American Pathways 正在尋找志工支持阿富汗難民。

《加拿大》

加拿大政府要求希望捐贈物品（包括衣服、家具或金錢）或志工服務的公民發送電子郵件至 afghaniresettlement@ccislive.ca，以便與慈善安置機構取得聯繫。

一些慈善機構已經為阿富汗的家庭開展了緊急籌款活動，包括加拿大兒童基金會、加拿大伊斯蘭救濟會和退伍軍人網站，該網站表示將利用捐款支持該國的口譯員等待撤離。

《英國》

Mercy Corps 正在幫助阿富汗的流離失所家庭獲得清潔水和其他必需品。

AfghanAid 已在阿富汗開展工作近四年，其人道主義項目旨在支持聯合國可持續發展目標。該慈善機構正在收集捐款，為家庭提供資金、廚房用品、太陽能燈和其他物品。

《如何幫助女性》
Women for Women International 正在為其緊急救濟基金募集捐款。

Vital Voices 設立了 Vital Voices 阿富汗婦女基金，以支持阿富汗婦女權利活動家和從該國撤離的婦女的安全。

《如何幫助當地記者》

國際媒體支援機構正與阿富汗記者安全委員會合作，接受捐款以保護仍在該國的記者。

* 亨利颶風上週一在美國東海岸附近形成，在達到颶風強度後，它在周日向西北緩慢移動穿過羅德島前減弱，但它仍帶來大雨和每小時 40 英里的風。

* 去年冠狀病毒出現時，沒有人準備好如此長時間地、危險的進入我們日常生活的各方面。大流行迫使美國人在過去 18 個月的每一天都在生死攸關的選擇中掙扎——而且看不到盡頭。

對病毒的科學理解，似乎每小時都在變化。該病毒僅通過密切接觸或在受污染的表面上即可傳播，甚至通過空氣傳播。病毒初期變異緩慢，但隨後以一系列危險的新形式變種病毒出現。

美國人仍有許多人堅持不需要戴口罩。

在這場磨難中，我們腳下的日子從未顯得如此不確定。

就在過去一周，美國聯邦衛生官員宣布他們將在未來幾個月內開始向所有美國人提供第三劑加強疫苗注射。幾週前，這些官員向公眾保證，疫苗對病毒的 Delta 變體具有很強的抵抗力，並且不需要加強劑。

預計最早在周一，美國食品和藥物管理局FDA將正式批准輝瑞-BioNTech 疫苗，該疫苗已提供給數百萬美國人。

一些反對者認為，該疫苗尚未得到正式批准，但卻以某種方式廣泛分發，這一點令人懷疑。對他們來說，“緊急授權”似乎永遠不夠。不能保證免疫保護力。

美國人本來生活在頂尖科學中，它實時展開研究。這個過程一直是流動的，不可預測的。但它很少以這種速度移動，讓公民一到前門就面臨研究結果。

探望生病的父母是否太危險？

親自上學的好處是否大於對孩子造成感染的可能性？

家庭聚會會變成超級傳播者的活動嗎？

即使對於習慣科學可變性的研究人員、公共衛生官員和記者來說，與反復無常的病毒敵人共處也令人不安。

他們也經常為什麼是保護自己和親人安全的最佳方式而苦惱不安。

但對於不熟悉科學且經常質疑科學又沮喪的美國人來說，公共衛生官員有時似乎在移動目標和翻轉，或誤導，他們甚至認為國家撒謊。

冷泉港實驗室出版社助理主任兼兩個熱門網站 bioRxiv 和 medRxiv 的聯合創始人Richard Sever說，大多數時候，科學家們“以一種非常漸進的方式向前推進”，科學家們在這些網站上發布了新的研究成果。

“人們走下坡路是死胡同，很多時候你不知道自己不知道什麼。”

生物學和醫學要求特別高的領域。過去許多重要的想法在被接受之前要經過數年甚至數十年的評估。但現在，我們沒有時間。

Happy to meet the APEC - Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Leaders virtually this evening to discuss how we can combat COVID-19 and accelerate economic recovery together.

I highlighted 3 areas of collaboration for APEC: preparing for the next pandemic, as COVID-19 will not be the last nor the most serious pandemic the world will face; reconnecting our economies and liberalising trade; and cooperating on new growth areas in the digital and green economy.

We can overcome our shared challenges by working closely as a region, so that we all emerge stronger into a better post-COVID-19 future.

Thank you to New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern for convening this informal APEC Leaders’ Retreat. Look forward to when we can all meet in person again. – LHL

From the bottom of my heart, I’m so happy and grateful for all of the love, truly I can’t thank you enough.

A lot of things have been happening to me these past few months, whether it’s good or bad, I’ve learned to be grateful for the little things and learned to change my perspective towards things in a different way.

Throughout my life so far, at this age I’ve met a lot of amazing people from different walks of life and I’m forever grateful that I get to learn a thing or two from these amazingly wonderful people, even though it is for a short period of time, I’m happy to have stumbled upon them truly.

Despite whatever that we’re currently going through, I got the opportunity to spend my quarantine with my family and that doesn’t happen often. For 3 years, I’ve been wanting to have a proper Ice Cream Cake for my birthday but never really got the chance to get it but Alhamdulilah 2021, finally got it! Thanks Kak, Sabrina, Abah and Mama. Infact I’d call my friends virtually via Zoom Calls & Google Meet, we’d call & talk, laugh till it’s 4/5AM in the morning, I missed all of them truly

I even got the opportunity to spend my birthday with some of the #FAIZIES which I didn’t expect it to happen at all, they really did surprised me and it means the world to be receiving that, Thanks guys. It’s a memory that I’ll remember always and forever. You guys made my day truly, I love all of you.

As I grow, I believe that we’ll never stop learning as we live and as we grow we will keep meeting new obstacles in life that’ll make us wonder and think. Furthermore, I believe that from these obstacles that we’ve all went through, it’ll mold us into better & stronger individuals, as we grow. Moving on, Letting go of things that it is beyond our control

17th June 2021 12AM ||

I am beyond grateful for everything that has happened, Alhamdulilah. I’m so happy to be celebrating my 19th birthday with all of you, to many more InsyaAllah. I’ll keep striving and try to be better & better, I love all of you wholeheartedly x.

เผยโฉม The new 2019 - 2020 BMW 7-Series โฉมใหม่ รุ่นไมเนอร์เชนจ์ เปิดตัว อย่างเป็นทางการในต่างประเทศ

BMW is sharpening the profile of its flagship models in the luxury segment.
The new edition of the BMW 7 Series makes a clear statement of intent with
its confident presence, sophisticated elegance and strikingly innovative
control/operation, driver assistance and connectivity technology.
The new exterior design of the luxury sedan showcases its prestige and status
more vividly than ever. And on the inside, sumptuous leather trim with
extended quilting and optimised acoustic comfort, not to mention the digital
display grouping of instrument cluster and Control Display, the
BMW Operating System 7.0 and the BMW Intelligent Personal Assistant, set
new benchmarks in wellbeing and comfort on the move.
The line-up of power units for the new BMW 7 Series has also been updated
and includes a new eight-cylinder engine, a six-cylinder in-line unit and plug-in
hybrid systems offering extended electric range. All of the model variants
already meet the stipulations of the Euro 6d-Temp emissions standard.
And the driver assistance systems now boast a broader range of functionality.
The latest advances towards automated driving are highlighted by technology
such as the new Reversing Assistant.

Powertrain: V12 with gasoline particulate filter, new V8, plug-in
hybrid models now with six-cylinder in-line engine.
The choice of power units for the new BMW 7 Series includes petrol and
diesel engines with six, eight and twelve cylinders, as well as an all-new plugin hybrid drive system. Topping the range is the 6.6-litre V12 engine at the
heart of the BMW M760Li xDrive, which produces 430 kW/585 hp (fuel
consumption combined: 12.5 – 12.4 l/100 km; 22.6 – 22.8 mpg imp; CO2
emissions combined: 285 – 282 g/km*) and now comes with a gasoline
particulate filter to minimise emissions. Meanwhile, the BMW 750i xDrive (fuel
consumption combined: 9.5 – 9.5 l/100 km; 29.7 – 29.7 mpg imp: CO2
emissions combined: 217 – 217 g/km*) and BMW 750Li xDrive (fuel
consumption combined: 9.6 – 9.5 l/100 km; 29.4 – 29.7 mpg imp; CO2
emissions combined: 218 – 218 g/km*) feature a newly developed V8 engine
with 4.4-litre displacement and maximum output raised by 60 kW/80 hp to
390 kW/530 hp.
The plug-in hybrid variants of the new BMW 7 Series take all of the luxury
sedan’s sporting prowess, passenger comfort and feel-good ambience and
combine them with exceptionally high efficiency and the ability to offer a virtually silent, all-electric driving experience with zero local emissions.
Their plug-in hybrid system now employs a specially adapted six-cylinder inline petrol engine and a more advanced high-voltage battery. As a result, the
system can unleash a combined output of 290 kW/394 hp with the Driving
Experience Control switch set to SPORT mode. The combined fuel
consumption of the BMW 745e, BMW 745Le and BMW 745 Le xDrive is
between 2.6 and 2.1 litres per 100 kilometres* (108.6 – 134.5 mpg imp), their
CO2 emissions are 59 – 48 grams per kilometre*, and combined electric
power consumption is 16.3 – 15.0 kWh per 100 kilometres*. The three
models achieve an electric range between 50 and 58 kilometres (31 – 36
miles).
Three highly efficient and low-emission six-cylinder in-line diesel engines,
each with 3.0-litre displacement and up to four turbochargers round off the
drive system line-up for the new BMW 7 Series. Delivering peerless
performance for a diesel-powered luxury-class car is the 294 kW/400 hp
engine under the bonnet of the BMW 750d xDrive (fuel consumption
combined: 6.0 – 5.8 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 157 – 152 g/km*)
and BMW 750 Ld xDrive (fuel consumption combined: 6.1 – 5.9 l/100 km;
CO2 emissions combined: 160 – 155 g/km*). The power unit fitted in the
BMW 740d xDrive (fuel consumption combined: 6.0 – 5.6 l/100 km; CO2
emissions combined: 158 – 148 g/km*) and BMW 740Ld xDrive (fuel
consumption combined: 6.0 – 5.7 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 158 –
149 g/km*) develops a maximum 235 kW/320 hp. And the 195 kW/265 hp
engine for the BMW 730d (fuel consumption combined: 5.5 – 5.3 l/100 km;
CO2 emissions combined: 144 – 138 g/km*), BMW 730Ld (fuel consumption
combined: 5.5 – 5.3 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 145 – 139 g/km*),
BMW 730d xDrive (fuel consumption combined: 5.7 – 5.5 l/100 km; CO2
emissions combined: 150 – 143 g/km*) and BMW 730Ld xDrive (fuel
consumption combined: 5.8 – 5.6 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 153 –
147 g/km*) represents the first step on the diesel ladder for
the new BMW 7 Series.
