We don’t often see players who prefer to play for the love of the game and not the fame—players like the 28-year-old Kawhi Leonard. Earlier this year, the quiet Kawhi led the Toronto Raptors in their most successful season yet, when they won the NBA (National Basketball Association) championship for the first time in history. Kawhi joined the team in 2018 and was also named the NBA Finals MVP (Most Valuable Player) for the second time in his career. The first time he won the award was in 2014, when he helped the San Antonio Spurs to their fifth championship. He hopes to do the same for his new team, the Los Angeles Clippers. With his extremely large hands and ability to score from anywhere on the court, the “Klaw” continues to rise through the ranks of the NBA. He has already gone from a skilled rookie to an All-Star and MVP, yet he remains one of the most humble players in the game. 沉默的王者： 「可愛」．雷納德 說到職業籃球界，大多數球員都樂於受到注目，在眾人面前炫耀自己的名聲和財富。我們不常看到打球是因為比較熱愛籃球比賽而不是名氣的球員——就像這位二十八歲的科懷．雷納德（常被暱稱為「可愛」）的球員。 今年早些時候，安靜不多話的「可愛」帶領多倫多暴龍隊進入他們到目前為止最成功的賽季，這是他們史上第一次贏得美國職業籃球聯賽總冠軍。「可愛」在二○一八年加入暴龍隊，並且在職業生涯中第二次被提名為美國職籃總冠軍賽的最有價值球員。他第一次獲選是在二○一四年，當時他幫助聖安東尼奧馬刺隊拿下該隊第五座冠軍。他希望能為他的新球隊洛杉磯快艇隊做同樣的事。 由於他的手掌非常大並且能從場上任何一個位置得分，「大手」在美國職籃的地位持續攀升。他已經從一個球技嫺熟的新秀變成了全明星賽球員和最有價值球員，然而他仍是籃球場上最謙遜的球員之一。 Born in California, Kawhi is the youngest of five children. His father, whom he was very close to, owned a car wash where Kawhi used to help out whenever he had time. But tragedy struck the family in 2008, when Kawhi’s father was shot and killed. This motivated Kawhi to cherish his time and give his best on the court, saying “I try to play as hard as I can each night. That’s what my father wanted me to do.” Kawhi stands out from many other NBA stars in part because he is very down-to-earth. For instance, after he signed a US$94 million contract, he continued to drive the same beat-up SUV that he had owned since high school. He also prefers to keep his private life private and does not even have a social media account. In Kawhi’s case, he is living proof that with enough hard work and persistence, greatness can be achieved. His humble attitude and instincts on the court have served him well on the road to success, making him one of the best role models in the NBA today. 「可愛」出生於加州，是五個孩子中最年幼的一個。他的父親（他與父親非常親）經營了一家洗車行，每當「可愛」有時間，就會去那裡幫忙。但二○○八年家中遭逢變故，「可愛」的父親遭到槍殺身亡。這激勵「可愛」要珍惜時間，並在球場上全力以赴，他說道：「我每晚都盡全力打球。那是我父親希望我做的。」 「可愛」從其他許多的美國職籃球星中脫穎而出，部分原因在於他實事求是。例如，在他簽下九千四百萬美元的合約後，他還繼續開著同台從高中就有的老爺休旅車。他也寧願維持低調的私人生活，甚至沒有社群媒體帳號。 就「可愛」而言，他是只要夠努力和堅持，就可以達到偉大成就的一個活生生的例子。他在球場上謙遜的態度和天分在他通往成功的路上發揮了很大的作用，使他成為現今美國職籃的最佳模範之一。

One of their most adoring fans [is] North Korea’s usually stoic supreme leader, who was caught on camera leading the applause, even though he’s banned his own people from listening to the same songs. Kim Jong Un and his wife, Ri Sol Ju, once a singer herself, greeted the band offstage. But now, there’s growing evidence this kind of music, called K-pop, is becoming a threat to the dictator’s regime. A recent survey by South Korea’s Unification Media Group says more and more defectors now cite music as a key factor in how they became disenchanted with their government. KIM SUK-YOUNG, AUTHOR, “ILLUSIVE UTOPIA: THEATER, FILM AND EVERYDAY PERFORMANCE IN NORTH KOREA” [The] North Korean young generation find many creative ways to access foreign media. Especially South Korean pop culture has been phenomenally popular in North Korea for the past 20 years, and it’s really starting to impact the way they conceive the world as well as to reflect upon their own lives in North Korea. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT North Korea’s first couple are such fans of that style of music themselves that they have their own girl band: Moranbong—Kim Jong Un’s handpicked troupe of young women in tight dresses—who sing Korean pop songs and tributes to their boss. But one defector says that’s about the extent to which young North Koreans are allowed to consume pop music. KANG NA RA, NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR (VIA INTERPRETER) North Korea is such a tightly-controlled society, and the style you can follow is very limited. Ri Sol Ju or Moranbong band members are our only permitted role models. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT Kim’s regime forbids the influx of any foreign media content unless it’s heavily censored, but still, it gets in. Hyun Lee defected from North Korea five years ago. The son of a top financial official for Kim’s regime, Lee had access to South Korean K-pop, which was smuggled in by friends, while he lived in North Korea. He says any young North Korean hearing South Korean K-pop for the first time is struck by the difference. What does that music have that their music does not have? HYUN LEE, NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR So, North Korean music doesn’t have any emotion and [or] feeling[s] of love and then, their freedom of society, but South Korean music emphasizes emotion [and] love. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT Hyun Lee says the tide of K-pop is so enormous and the black market for the music and videos is so strong, even young people still inside North Korea know about “Gangnam Style,” the song by the artist PSY that was the first YouTube video ever to reach a billion views. But it’s a tide Kim Jong Un is trying to hold back. Analysts say North Korea’s crackdown on the consumption of K-pop by its citizens has intensified under Kim. Defectors say there’s a feared unit of Kim’s security services called Group 109—a roving group of operatives searching for banned CDs and USB drives. HYUN LEE, NORTH KOREAN DEFECTOR They basically do search your body and search your home at any time, at everywhere. Once [a] North Korean’s caught by 109, so the seria [serious] punishment was [is] execution. BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT It’s not just listening to K-pop that can get the average young North Korean in trouble. One young defector told the Washington Post that after seeing some K-pop videos, she wanted to emulate their clothing style. She put on a pair of jeans, she said, and went to a local market. She said authorities there made her take the jeans off right there, and they burned them right in front of her. CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 這是個出人意料，且對許多北韓人來說很刺眼的景象：一支在南韓和全球各地都大受歡迎，名為Red Velvet的樂團，受邀於二○一八年春天在平壤的一群菁英觀眾面前表演。其中一個對他們最為傾心的粉絲就是通常不苟言笑的北韓最高領導人，鏡頭捕捉到他帶領大家鼓掌，不過他卻禁止自己的人民聽相同的歌曲。 金正恩和他的妻子李雪主在表演結束後接見了該樂團，李雪主本人曾是名歌手。但是現在有愈來愈多證據顯示，這一類稱作韓國流行音樂的音樂，對這位獨裁者的政權而言漸漸成為一項威脅。 日前一項由南韓的統一媒體集團所進行的調查指出，現在有愈來愈多的脫北者說音樂是他們對政府感到幻滅的一個關鍵因素。 《飄渺的烏托邦：北韓的戲劇、電影和日常表演》作者 金淑雲（音譯） 北韓的年輕一代找到很多有創意的方法接觸外國媒體。過去二十年來，南韓流行文化在北韓受歡迎得不得了，而這確實已經開始影響北韓人對這個世界的認知，以及反思他們自己在北韓的生活。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 北韓的第一夫妻本身是那類音樂的熱衷粉絲，因此他們組了自有的女子樂團：牡丹峰，也就是金正恩精挑細選、穿著緊身洋裝的少女團體，唱著韓國流行歌曲和對他們老闆的頌歌。但是有位脫北者說，那差不多就是北韓年輕人被允許消費流行音樂的限度了。 脫北者 姜娜拉（音譯）（經由口譯） 北韓是個受到如此嚴格控制的社會，你能夠追隨的風潮非常有限。李雪主或牡丹峰樂團的成員是我們唯一被允許追隨的模範。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 金正恩政權禁止任何外國媒體內容流入，除非經過嚴格審查，但還是滲透進去了。李賢（音譯）在五年前脫北。李賢是金正恩政權下的財政高官之子，他住在北韓時，經由朋友偷偷帶入而得以接觸南韓流行音樂。他說任何第一次聽到南韓流行音樂的北韓年輕人，都會因當中的差異而感到震驚。 那種音樂中有什麼是他們的音樂所沒有的呢？ 脫北者 李賢（音譯） 北韓的音樂不帶任何情感或愛的感覺，再來，也沒有社會的自由，反觀南韓的音樂重視情感和愛。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 李賢說韓國流行音樂的浪潮是如此巨大，加上這種音樂和影片的黑市需求是如此強勁，就連仍在北韓境內的年輕人都知道〈江南風格〉，那首由藝人PSY演唱的歌曲是史上首支達十億次點閱的YouTube影片。但這是股金正恩正設法壓制的浪潮。 分析師指出，在金正恩政權下，北韓對其人民消費韓國流行音樂的取締增強了。脫北者說，金正恩有個令人喪膽、叫作一○九小隊的安全勤務單位，那是一個機動式的行動小組，專門搜尋遭禁的CD和隨身碟。 脫北者 李賢（音譯） 基本上他們會隨時隨地搜你身和到你家翻箱倒櫃。一旦有北韓人被一○九小隊抓到，嚴重的懲罰是處決。 CNN特派員 布萊恩．陶德 會讓北韓一般年輕人惹禍上身的不是只有聽南韓流行音樂而已。一名年輕的脫北者告訴《華盛頓郵報》，她在看過一些韓國流行音樂的影片之後，想要仿效他們的穿著風格。她說她穿上一條牛仔褲去到當地的一個市場。她說地方當局逼她當場脫掉牛仔褲，然後當她的面把褲子給燒了。

He has completely withdrawn from the world and earns his living rescuing girls who have been kidnapped into the sex trade. When he's hired to save the daughter of a corrupt New York senator held captive at a Manhattan brothel, he stumbles into a dangerous web of conspiracy, and he pays the price. As Joe's small web of associates are picked off one by one, he realizes that he has no choice but to take the fight to the men who want him dead. Brutal and redemptive in equal measure, You Were Never Really Here is a toxic shot of a thriller, laced with corruption, revenge and the darkest of inner demons.

As Southern as it gets."—Deep South Magazine A compelling addition to contemporary Southern Gothic fiction, deftly weaving together local legends, family secrets, and the search for a missing child. Siblings Bert, Willet, and Pansy know better than to go swimming at the old rock quarry. According to their father, it's the Devil's place, a place that's been cursed and forgotten. But Mississippi Delta summer days are scorching hot and they can't resist cooling off in the dark, bottomless water. Until the day six-year-old Pansy vanishes. Not drowned, not lost . . . simply gone. When their father disappears as well, Bert and Willet leave their childhoods behind to try and hold their broken family together. Years pass with no sign, no hope of ever finding Pansy alive, and as surely as their mother died of a broken heart, Bert and Willet can't move on. So when clues surface drawing them to the remote tip of Florida, they drop everything and drive south. Deep in the murky depths of the Florida Everglades they may find the answer to Pansy's mysterious disappearance . . . but truth, like the past, is sometimes better left where it lies. Perfect for fans of Flannery O'Connor and Dorothy Allison, The Past Is Never is an atmospheric, haunting story of myths, legends, and the good and evil we carry in our hearts.

Jimmy, Ann and Kaz are fed up with the System – the network of corporations and government operations that has destroyed their families and, even now, threatens the privacy and security of ordinary American citizens. So, swearing to a suicide pact, they vow to take it down. The three teenagers transform the New York underground into a weapons storage unit and their own private haven and, from there, plan a series of guerilla attacks on System-run buildings around the city. But when they’re caught by a New York detective unit before they can set up their final bombing to take down a fabled corporate building in Manhattan rumored to house the communications used to monitor the lives of citizens, all of their carefully laid plans begin to fall apart.

Book Description
Their story began five years ago. Callie fell madly, crazily in love with Zahir. But the war in his country was raging and nurturing their relationship was tenuous at best. When Callie was captured, the experience was terrifying. Zahir found and rescued her, but he knew it would be impossible to insulate her from danger in his country. Despite his wishes to be together, he knew that to keep her safe he must send her away. However, he wouldn’t let her go until she was his bride. In a secret wedding, he married her, and then spirited her to safety. She arrived in her haven traumatized, fearful, homeless…and pregnant. Slowly, she rebuilt her life, gave birth to her son and somehow learned to get on with living without Zahir. For five long years, Callie recovered from the nightmare of her captivity. And she raises her son. When Zahir enters her life once more, she can’t believe that the fire between them is hotter than before. But she refuses to give in, despite its intensity. She’s too afraid that the peace between the previously warring countries will end and that she or her son could be in peril again. She yearns to feel safe, but can she defy her heart or deny her son his father?
