Trump envoy Kushner meets Hamas leader to push Gaza peace plan
NEWS link
US President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy Jared Kushner has held rare talks with Hamas to discuss the implementation of the US-backed Gaza peace plan.

A Palestinian official told the BBC Trump's son-in-law met a delegation led by Hamas's new leader Khalil al-Hayya in Egypt on Sunday.

Last month, Trump's Board of Peace said it had reached agreement for the "complete disarmament" of Hamas and other armed group in Gaza. Last week, Israel rejected Trump's 15-point plan which also calls for Israeli troops to withdraw and for Gaza to be rebuilt under a new civilian Palestinian administration.

Eight Muslim countries issued a statement on Sunday condemning Israel's rejection.

Trump leads the Board of Peace - created as an international organisation originally intended to bring peace to Gaza, but later expanded to include conflicts worldwide.

Kushner's meeting with Hayya is said to be the first at this level since last year's agreement of a ceasefire for the Gaza Strip.

According to reports, Board of Peace envoys Nickolay Mladenov and UK ex-Prime Minister Tony Blair were also part of the meeting - alongside representatives of Egypt, Qatar and Turkey, which have mediated in the peace efforts.

No official statement has been released of the talks reportedly focusing on concrete actions to decommission Hamas's weapons - as well as the withdrawal of Israeli troops and humanitarian efforts.

Russia says at least seven killed in largest Ukrainian attack of 2026
NEWS link
At least seven people have been killed in Russia after what officials called the "largest-scale" attack launched by Ukraine this year.

Some 822 drones were used - 600 aiming for Moscow, according to its regional governor who said the Russian capital had suffered "one of the most massive drone attacks in recent memory". A warehouse belonging to Russian online retailer Wildberries was hit.

Russian attacks on Ukraine also killed at least seven people and injured more than 39.

Russia has intensified missile attacks across Ukraine in recent weeks, with Kyiv also stepping up drone strikes deep inside Russia.

Five people died in Russia's south-western region of Rostov following overnight strikes, its governor said.

Officials in Belgorod, which borders Ukraine, said a woman was killed after a civilian bus was struck, while an 83-year-old man died in a drone attack in the Moscow region, according to Governor Andrey Vorobyov.

A Wildberries warehouse in Koledino, 25km (15.5 miles) from the centre of Moscow, was hit in an attack, injuring three, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said. Videos shows a fire and a large plume of smoke over the warehouse.

Wildberries, known as Russia's version of Amazon, has been repeatedly targeted since July. Kyiv said at the time it was targeting logistics hubs used by Russians to buy military equipment and disrupting supplies to the Russian army.

Ukraine's defence ministry said the latest attack meant that seven out of 10 of the largest Wildberries logistics centres had been "disabled".

Both warring sides accuse each other of targeting civilians.

Trump says US scaling back joint military operations with South Korea
NEWS link
President Donald Trump has said the US will "substantially reduce" joint military exercises with South Korea, citing his "very good relationship" with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un.

He also noted on Truth Social that South Korea had recently declined to join the US in the "denuclearisation" of Iran.

"These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile," Trump posted.

Neither Seoul nor Pyongyang has commented. The decision comes after North Korea this month conducted ballistic missile tests that are banned by the United Nations.

Trump said in his social media post on Sunday that it was "too late to cancel", as the US and South Korea were due to start their annual military exercises on Monday.

He added: "While somewhat unrelated (?), I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said, 'No thanks!'"

Last week, US and South Korean military leaders held a joint press conference announcing Ulchi Freedom Shield.

They said the 11-day event would be similar in scale to previous years, with about 18,000 South Korean soldiers participating.

During the news conference, military leaders also mentioned North Korea's deployment of troops to aid Russia's war against Ukraine.

US military spokesperson Ryan Donald said "our training accounts for that threat", referring to North Korean soldiers returning from the battlefield. About 28,500 American military personnel are stationed in South Korea.

On Friday, North Korea's foreign ministry condemned the joint military drills as "a rehearsal for an aggressive war".

The joint exercises come days after South Korea, the US and Japan detected the second North Korean missile test in days.

Pyongyang has accelerated efforts to expand its nuclear and missile programmes since the collapse in 2019 of Kim's high-profile diplomacy with Trump during his first term in the White House.

He became the first ever sitting US president to set foot in North Korea when he visited seven years ago.

Trump's pointed remark about South Korea in his social media post seemed to hint at possible frustration with Seoul for declining to make direct military or logistical contributions to the US hostilities with Iran.

He has also expressed displeasure with other allies for their hesitance to get involved in the conflict, including Japan, France and the UK.

Trump's move to downsize joint military exercises with South Korea is not without precedent.

He suspended the exercises entirely in 2018, during denuclearisation negotiations with Kim.

The exercises were again scaled back in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Last week, South Korea's president proposed talks with its northern neighbour on officially ending the war between the two that is technically still active since an armistice was signed in 1953.

Emergency alert put domestic abuse victims at risk, campaigners say
NEWS link
Most people received the blaring alert at 19:00 BST on Friday - and it came as a surprise given the government had not told people it was coming, as it has done for tests of the system.

The notification, which cautioned against the use of disposable barbecues, naked flames or fireworks, was the biggest use yet of the emergency alert system and Prime Minister Andy Burnham urged the public to take it "seriously".

A Cabinet Office press release, posted to their website at about 18:45 on Friday, was missed by many in the media, which meant there was little warning to the public.

This potentially jeopardised domestic abuse victims trying to hide secret phones they use to seek support and try to escape abusers, some campaigners have said.

Women's Aid, the national charity aiming to end domestic abuse, is calling for more forewarning of alerts wherever possible.

Veronica Oakeshott, the charity's head of external affairs, told BBC News: "Survivors of domestic abuse frequently turn to second phones to help them access lifesaving support or flee from abuse."

It is vital the devices stay hidden, she said, before adding: "We would urge the government to forewarn the public that alerts might be issued, when possible."

It has been reported that senior government figures were discussing whether or not to send the alert hours before, on Friday morning.

The alert came after a spate of wildfires including one that destroyed 19 homes in Stourbridge, West Midlands, on Thursday.

Changing pubs into offices or homes to be made harder under new rules
NEWS link
The Campaign for Real Ale has previously said that pubs are being "lost forever to conversion or demolition as developers look to cash in on the desirable locations and unique architecture of pubs and social clubs".

The British Beer and Pub Association and UKHospitality have also campaigned against pub closures, with both largely blaming tax rises and other costs.

Allen Simpson, chief executive of UKHospitality, said: "The biggest issue facing hospitality businesses is costs like VAT and business rates pushing pubs out of business in the first place.

"Anything that makes it harder to take these important assets away from their communities has to be welcomed, but the government should focus on continuing its strong start on fixing the harm done to hospitality over the past two years."

In July, the Labour government said pubs, social clubs and live music venues in England will be given a 20% cut to business rates on top of rates relief announced in January.

The NPPF update being published Monday also includes default approval for homes being built around railway stations in England in an attempt to increase housebuilding numbers.

Housing Secretary Angela Rayner said: "By unlocking thousands of homes around well-connected transport hubs, we're helping people live closer to work, school and the services they rely on, while backing local businesses and driving growth in our communities."

The update also means that some groups will no longer need to be consulted on housing development plans as part of the process of getting permission.

The Gardens Trust, a parks and gardens heritage and conversion charity, called the decision to remove its role as a statutory consultee "devastating".

It said it devalued parks and gardens and "makes them vulnerable to poorly informed development".

Under the changes, the Gardens Trust and Theatres Trust will still be notified of relevant applications and Sport England will continue to advise on significant cases.

Labour has set a target to build 1.5 million homes by 2029. According to official data, external, it has so far built 392,000 homes in England since coming into power in July 2024.

Shadow housing secretary Sir James Cleverly said Labour is "failing abysmally" to meet their target because of taxes and red tape.

"To try to fix their own mess, Labour are planning a power grab, seizing control from local communities and forcing them to accept development in the wrong areas because Labour won't build in the right areas," he added.

Two dead and hundreds evacuated as wildfires break out near Athens
NEWS link
Two people died and and hundreds were evacuated after two fires broke out "almost simultaneously" on a Greek island near Athens on Sunday afternoon, officials said.

About 200 firefighters were deployed to keep the twin fires from converging on the island of Salamina, which was under a high wildfire risk on Sunday.

The first blaze was reported at 14:40 local time (11:40 GMT) near the island's south coast and spread rapidly due to high winds, followed by a separate fire some 20 minutes later in the east. Their cause is not yet known.

One of the fires had been brought under control and evacuations completed by Sunday evening, Greek media report, with 500 people having left the island by sea.

The first blaze broke out in a forested residential area in Peristeria, a southern city on the island, fire official Vasilios Vathrakoyannis said in a statement.

Firefighters attending the blaze found two bodies at the scene, he said. The city's mayor told Greek media they were believed to have been a couple.

Officials continued to battle scattered blazes there late on Sunday, while the second fire which began in the eastern town of Selinia was said to have "no active front".

Two coast guard vessels and a fire department vessel will remain in the area for surveillance and assistance.

At least 10 other people suffered burns or showed "symptoms of smoke inhalation", five of whom had been taken for treatment locally, Greek Health Minister Adonis Georgiades said on X.

A number of aircraft and 50 fire engines, assisted by water tankers and construction machinery, were deployed to try and tackle the two fires.

Salamina Deputy Mayor Thodoris Zannis earlier said this was to keep the fires from burning over a mountain on the island and meeting to form a single blaze.

Reform UK benefits ban for foreign nationals would include EU citizens
NEWS link
It is the latest announcement ahead of a speech on Monday by Reform's shadow chancellor Robert Jenrick to formally unveil the party's welfare plans.

"Forcing British workers to pay for the benefits of foreigners is not just economically illiterate but plain immoral," Jenrick said in a statement.

"People are more than happy to support their neighbours in hard times, but the British taxpayer cannot afford to subsidise everyone on the planet, especially those who have not paid in."

This year the government expects, external to spend a total of £322bn on welfare in Great Britain, or 10.6% of GDP, just over half of which goes to pensioners.

Reform says it has spent six months drawing up a 50-page plan that it claims will save a total of £50bn a year.

On Saturday, the party said it would replace the disability payments system, Pip, if it entered Number 10 at the next election.

The latest proposals would ban foreign nationals from almost all welfare payments including housing benefit, pension credit, jobseeker's allowance, child benefit, free childcare and disability benefits.

Only a small number of exemptions would apply, including the war widows pension and Armed Forces compensation.

The party had previously pledged to ban foreign nationals from claiming Universal Credit.

Watch as police arrest wanted man while he slept on Salford roof
NEWS link
A stand-off involving a wanted man was brought to an end when police arrested him while he slept on a roof.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said emergency services had responded to an incident at a property on Reservoir Street in Salford, spending two days at the scene.

Footage shows officers from the force's tactical unit gently resting a ladder against the roof of a back porch, with an officer then grabbing the man while he was sleeping.

A struggle ensues and the man is pulled down, with his trousers appearing to fall down, before he is arrested by officers in the garden of the property.

Two police officers suffered minor injuries during the incident on Saturday.

GMP said it was asked by another force to arrest the man who was wanted on recall to prison for other matters.

The force said a 37-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of causing public nuisance, criminal damage, public order offences, burglary and assaulting two police officers.

He remains in police custody.

Det Ch Insp Helen Bagnall said: "During two days of disruption to the local community, we worked continuously with our partners to bring this matter to a safe conclusion.

"This was an extensive use of vital policing resources and clearly demonstrates the dangers our officers face on a daily basis in order to protect the people of Greater Manchester."

She thanked the people of Salford for their "patience and understanding" while emergency services dealt with the incident, adding some properties had been damaged as a result of the man's actions.

She said the force would work with partners to ensure affected residents would be supported.

US commander says mental health a 'priority' on USS Lincoln
NEWS link
The top US military commander in the Middle East has said mental health is a "priority" on the warship USS Lincoln, following reports of difficult conditions on board the long-deployed ship.

After visiting the vessel on Saturday, Adm Brad Cooper said it had "among the lowest number of cases related to mental health" out of 11 active US aircraft carriers.

But he acknowledged that Navy service at sea for long periods was "uniquely challenging and tough".

The ship arrived in the Middle East in January and has been supporting the US war against Iran, including the blockade on Iranian ports. It has spent a record-setting uninterrupted time at sea of more than 240 days.

The USS George Washington is currently heading to replace the USS Lincoln and could arrive in the region in about a week.

Family members of sailors aboard the Lincoln have expressed concern about their mental health deteriorating due to the conditions, with some sailors having reportedly attempted to jump overboard.

Adm Cooper said in a statement on Sunday: "I've long believed that mental health is another aspect of individual health and requires our attention just like physical health and spiritual health.

"I applaud Lincoln's leadership for... stepping up and making mental health and crew resilience a leadership priority."

While the US Navy last week acknowledged supply challenges, it had denied a mental health crisis on the Lincoln, which has 5,000 people aboard.

Conditions aboard the ship have included poor sanitation, infrequent ports-of-call, broken plumbing and shortages of fresh food, according to reports last week in the Military Times and Stars & Stripes.

Thirteen Democrats on the Senate Armed Services Committee sent a letter on Saturday to Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticising the length of the deployment as "a modern-day record" and demanding answers.

Last week, Hegseth called reports of conditions "completely misrepresented", while President Donald Trump dismissed suggestions the sailors had been at sea too long, telling reporters on Friday: "Not nearly long enough."

The USS Lincoln deployment, which was originally set to end in May, has been repeatedly extended. The personnel have reportedly been at sea without a port call for over 200 consecutive days.

Maryland's Democratic Governor Wes Moore, a US Army veteran, told CNN on Sunday that the reported conditions were "heartbreaking" and the Republican president should have "more compassion".

European Athletics Championships 2026: Amy Hunt and Dina Asher-Smith make history with relay gold
NEWS link
Amy Hunt and Dina Asher-Smith made history and Georgia Hunter Bell claimed a commanding 1500m gold in a spectacular finish for Great Britain at the European Championships.

Sprint sensation Hunt held up four fingers to the camera after holding off Germany's challenge on the home straight of the mixed 4x100m relay as another sell-out crowd roared the 24-year-old on to an unprecedented fourth gold in Birmingham.

The world silver medallist completed victory for the quartet in a European record 39.97 seconds to add to her triumphs in the 100m, 200m and women's 4x100m in the past seven days.

"Oh my gosh, I am over the moon. I think to finish it off with some of my best friends in the sport is incredible," Hunt told BBC Sport.

With her eighth gold and 11th medal overall, Asher-Smith is unparalleled as the most successful athlete in the competition's 92-year history, with a team also featuring Jeremiah Azu and Zharnel Hughes extending the hosts' domination of the sprint events.

Hunter Bell expertly controlled the women's 1500m final before bursting clear to continue her golden year by adding to world indoor and Commonwealth glory.

That represented the 32-year-old's seventh international medal in two years as she continues to build momentum on her fairytale return to the sport which she quit for five years following a promising junior career.

Rodri transfer news: Spain captain agrees deal to join Barcelona from Man City
NEWS link
Barcelona have agreed a deal to sign Spain captain Rodri from Manchester City for about £65m

The 30-year-old, who won the Ballon d'Or in 2024, is set to sign a four-year deal with the Spanish champions.

The transfer is expected to be completed in the coming days.

Rodri made 298 appearances across seven trophy-laden seasons at City after joining them from Atletico Madrid in 2019 for a then club record £62.8m.

He missed much of the 2024-25 campaign after sustaining a serious knee injury, and parts of last season were disrupted by a hamstring issue.

However, he was back to his best at the World Cup in the summer, leading Spain to their second title and being named player of the tournament.

Rodri leaves City having won 12 major honours, including four Premier League titles, two FA Cups, three EFL Cups and the Champions League in 2022-23.

Last week City rejected Barca's opening offer of £38.5m for Rodri, who was set to enter the final year of his contract at Etihad Stadium.

It had looked like Real Madrid would be his next destination but La Liga rivals Barcelona stepped up their efforts to complete the signing in recent days.

Speaking after City's defeat by Arsenal in the Community Shield on Sunday, new boss Enzo Maresca said: "Rodri is a player who just won the World Cup and Ballon d'Or.

"He's a top player, all the teams need a Rodri, so it's not about if we miss Rodri or not."

Sebastian Pocognoli: What awaits Belgian as new Scotland boss?
NEWS link
Pocognoli's prior experience of working as a youth coach at international level with Belgium would have ticked another box for the SFA. He also coached in the academies of USG and Genk.

During his playing career, he featured at almost every youth level for his nation before winning 13 caps for a Belgium side that featured a long list of world-class talents for well over a decade.

Scotland have had their own mini golden generation, with captain Andy Robertson, John McGinn, Scott McTominay and others all continuing to play at Europe's top level.

Clarke was emphatic in his exit interview with the SFA, saying the core he developed over his seven-year spell is "not finished yet".

Many of Scotland's World Cup squad, which was one of the oldest at the tournament, will go again for a Euros they are co-hosting in two years, but Pocognoli will be tasked with hitting the refresh button.

Much has been made of a potential crisis within youth development in Scottish football, which raises concerns about the future of the national team.

For now, Ben Gannon-Doak, 20, has become a Scotland regular over the past couple of years, while Findlay Curtis, 19, made two late cameos at the World Cup.

Tyler Fletcher was taken to the United States but did not feature. It remains to be seen whether his status will rise under Pocognoli, or if fellow teenage midfielder Lennon Miller will be brought back into the fold.

Kieron Bowie, 23, also missed the World Cup cut, but the striker will be playing in Serie A next season, like Miller.

Fans will expect to see striker Robbie Ure after a free-scoring spell with Sirius in Sweden resulted in a move to La Liga side Sevilla earlier this month.

The 22-year-old has fuelled the Tartan Army with hope that he can provide cutting edge at the top end of the pitch, something they have craved for some time.

Community Shield: Nightmare Man City start for Enzo Maresca - are Arsenal really so far ahead?
NEWS link
Arsenal took the lead after just 23 seconds, doubled their advantage thanks to some static City defending in the 23rd minute, and then added a third three minutes into the second half.

Former Arsenal defender Martin Keown told TNT Sports at the end of the game: "The gap was really quite stunning.

"Arsenal really let the handbrake off, but Manchester City looked lifeless. Arsenal have made a real statement of intent. Their biggest problem is who does Arteta pick? Man City have a lot more problems."

Manchester City received "a bit of a schooling", according to former Scotland striker Ally McCoist, who added: "I know it's early days and but it is concerning for Manchester City."

The underlying numbers showed how Arsenal dominated. The Gunners created 2.19 expected goals (xG) compared to City's 0.77 and, intriguingly for Arsenal, none of their xG came from set-pieces.

That metric gauges how likely chances are to result in goals, taking into account a range of variables, and Arsenal finished with almost three times the xG total of City.

This was Arsenal's biggest victory to nil against Manchester City since August 2014 (also 3-0 in the Community Shield), while it was City's heaviest defeat to nil against an English side since a 4-0 defeat in November 2024 against Tottenham.

"We played some brilliant football. Great performance and a great way to start the season," Arsenal captain Odegaard told TNT Sports.

"We showed our level today. We're showed we're ready. We're serious and we want to do it again."

Arsenal's players and fans were happy to celebrate their second trophy in four months, but just how seriously should we view their performance in a relatively minor competition?

Ten-time Community Shield winner Sir Alex Ferguson said in 2011 he had always thought of the match simply "as a stepping stone" to the season ahead.

In fact, since the Premier League started in 1992-93, only eight of the 34 winners of the Charity Shield or Community Shield have gone on to win the league.

Manchester City, in 2018-19, were the last team to do so - and before that it was Ferguson's Manchester United in 2010-11.

The Hundred: What has the impact of new ownership been on the tournament?
NEWS link
Manchester Super Giants (MSG) rebranded from the Originals, also changing their team logo and colours, after RPSG group - led by Indian billionaire Sanjiv Goenka - bought a 70% stake in the franchise, with Lancashire having 30% ownership.

Goenka's Indian Premier League (IPL) side Lucknow Super Giants have yet to reach that competition's final since being founded in 2022, but his Hundred investment has resulted in immediate success as Jos Buttler's side sealed the Manchester franchise's first title for either men or women.

Lancashire chief executive Daniel Gidney, also on the board of MSG, says there's no choice but to be bold in a rebrand.

"If you're trying to launch a new brand in a new market, in the UK particularly, in a city that is dominated by football, you've got to go big and loud," Gidney told BBC Sport.

One daring 'brand activation' resulted in almost 30,000 free shirts being given to Super Giants fans.

"To give everybody a free jersey who bought a ticket is extraordinarily different," said Gidney.

"You can't normally do it because a kit manufacturer will go, 'No, no, no. I've got to sell that kit for £60-80.'

"You never get anything for free. It's had a massive impact, much more than I thought."

The decision was made this first year to forego a potentially lower kit deal for the opportunity to build the MSG brand, get fans in the team colours, and then strike a more lucrative supplier deal in years to come.

But how does that benefit Lancashire more broadly? The county's merchandise continues to be sold at Old Trafford on matchdays, while at the moment you won't find MSG products in the club shop.

Gidney says Lancashire were able to "retain effectively 50% merchandise arrangements" with MSG, who they can use as a "bit of a pilot" - possibly bringing some of what they learn into the T20 Blast competition.

The franchise will now hope to have acquired new fans and take momentum from their first on-field triumph, while they also pocket £275,000 in prize money.

They were dealt the blow of losing captain Aiden Markram halfway through the group stage as he returned to South Africa for personal reasons, but Buttler seamlessly stepped up, while the appointment of Tom Moody as their director was another savvy decision.

Former Australia player Moody was at the helm for Oval Invincibles' previous dominance in the men's Hundred, with three consecutive titles. He will hope for further success at Old Trafford alongside compatriot Justin Langer, hired as coach from this season, the same role he has at Lucknow.

There are positives for their women's side too, who just missed out on a knockout spot, but look likely to be in a good place if they can keep legendary former Australia captain Meg Lanning in charge.

US Amateur golf: England's Jack Whaley wins title and earns spot at 2027 Open, US Open and Masters
NEWS link
Jack Whaley became only the second Englishman to win the US Amateur Championship since 1911 as he beat American Jay Leng Jr 4&3 at Merion.

Victory will give the 22-year-old a place in the field for the Masters, US Open and The Open at St Andrews in 2027.

Whaley, who attends Florida State University, came into the contest as a major underdog against Leng Jr, who is 23rd in the world amateur golf rankings, some 67 places higher than the 22-year-old from Doncaster.

The on-course form looked to be following the rankings as Whaley slipped two down after the opening 18 holes in Sunday's 36-hole encounter.

However, Whaley fought back superbly, making back-to-back birdies on the second and third holes of his second round on his way to winning four holes consecutively.

With rain lashing down in Pennsylvania, both players took two of the next six holes before Leng Jr misread a putt on the 12th to hand his opponent a three-hole lead.

Whaley rounded off his win with a superb left-to-right putt for birdie at 15 to become the first English amateur to triumph in the US Amateur since Matt Fitzpatrick in 2013.

Prior to Fitzpatrick, Harold Hilton had been the last Englishman to won the title in 1911, with Scotland's Richie Ramsay (2006) the only other British winner since 1898.

Fitzpatrick went on to follow up his success at The Country Club in Brookline by winning the US Open on the same course in 2022.

Former US Amateur winners include Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Bryson DeChambeau and Viktor Hovland.

Rangers host Celtic in League Cup quarter-finals

Rangers' reward for knocking out Premier Sports Cup holders St Mirren is a mouth-watering quarter-final against Old Firm rivals Celtic.

Derek McInnes earned his first win as boss with a thumping 5-1 victory on Sunday and will now host Celtic.

Stenhousemuir, who stunned Motherwell in extra time, will host last season's Scottish Premiership runners up Hearts.

Aberdeen will go to Kilmarnock in an all top-flight tie, while Ross County welcome Hibernian to the Highlands.

The games will be played across the weekend of 12-13 September.

McInnes' first taste of an Old Firm game as Rangers manager was due to be at Celtic Park on Sunday 20 September but will now be across the city.

Kilmarnock were the first team into the last eight after beating Ayrshire rivals Ayr United in a five-goal thriller.

Aberdeen overcame Dundee 3-0 at Pittodrie on Saturday, Ross County beat Dunfermline 2-1, while Celtic trounced Dundee United 4-0 at Tannadice.

Rory McIlroy admits concerns as Scottie Scheffler wins first FedEx Cup play-off event

Full leaderboard

Rory McIlroy says "he felt lost" as he toiled to a 66th-place finish - 25 strokes behind champion Scottie Scheffler - at the St Jude Championship.

While world number one Scheffler was a cut above the rest at 17 under overall as he claimed his first victory since January, more concerning for McIlory was that his eight-over total left him ahead of just two players in the first of the three FedEx Cup play-off events.

The Northern Irishman, who won his second Masters title earlier this season had not played competitively since the Open Championship in July.

And it told at TPC Southwind, where he failed to record a single round under par across the four days and struggled to find the sort of rhythm that will be needed if he is to claim an unprecedented fourth FedEx Cup later this month.

"I'm so far away from where I need to be to even feel like I have a chance. I've just got to keep working and hope it turns around a little bit," said McIlroy, who is 13th in the season-long standings.

"Obviously didn't come in here with a ton of reps, (it) almost felt like the more the week went on the more I felt lost with my golf swing a little bit.

"I guess [it was] nice to shake the rust off a little bit but I'm going to have to work pretty hard between now and next Thursday to feel like I have any sort of golf game to compete next week.

"To me it's more about the execution of what I'm doing right now, and the execution wasn't there this week."

McIlroy's struggles were obvious particularly in from tee to green where he ranked 62nd out of 68 players for strokes gained.

However, he would at least have been able to take some comfort from a seven-hole stretch on the back nine where he knocked in four birdies, albeit he finished with successive bogeys to bookend a round which began with a six on the par-four opening hole.

美軍中央司令部司令登林肯號:官兵心理健康是首要之務

請同意我們的隱私權規範,才能啟用聽新聞的功能。

(中央社杜哈16日綜合外電報導)美國駐中東最高軍事指揮官視察航空母艦林肯號後指出,艦上官兵的心理健康是「首要之務」。此前有報導指出,這艘長期部署的航艦上環境惡劣。

英國廣播公司新聞網(BBC News)報導,美軍中央司令部(U.S. Central Command)司令古柏(Brad Cooper)昨天登林肯號(USS Abraham Lincoln)視察後表示,在美軍現役11艘航艦中,林肯號與心理健康相關的通報案例數是「其中最低之一」。

不過他坦言,長時間在海上服役「確實充滿獨特挑戰與艱辛」。

林肯號自從1月抵達中東以來,一直參與美軍對伊朗的軍事行動,包括對伊朗港口實施封鎖。該艦已經創下連續超過240天不靠岸的紀錄。

部分官兵家屬對親人身心狀況感到憂心,認為環境導致其心理健康持續惡化,甚至傳出有官兵試圖跳海。

古柏今天在聲明中表示:「我一直相信,心理健康是個人健康的一個面向,和身體健康、心靈健康一樣,都需要我們投入關注。我讚賞林肯號領導階層…採取行動將心理健康與艦上官兵的韌性列為領導上的首要任務。」

雖然美國海軍上週坦承補給遇到挑戰,但否認目前有5000人在艦上服役的林肯號出現心理健康危機。

法新社報導,沙烏地阿拉伯、埃及、約旦、巴基斯坦、印尼、土耳其、卡達及阿拉伯聯合大公國的外交部長在聯合聲明中表示,他們「譴責以色列公然拒絕這項路線圖」以及巴勒斯坦建國,並且指責以方此舉破壞計畫的推動和「為實現公正且持久和平所付出的努力」。

美聯社報導,以色列總理尼坦雅胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)上週公開拒絕美國支持的15點計畫,對川普政府這個最緊密盟友罕見展現強硬態度。

根據這項路線圖,巴勒斯坦伊斯蘭主義運動組織哈瑪斯(Hamas)須將武器移交由巴勒斯坦技術官員組成、負責加薩(Gaza)日常營運管理的委員會。哈瑪斯則將交出重型武器之舉與巴勒斯坦建國掛鉤,但是當前以色列政府反對巴勒斯坦建國。

路線圖內容包括哈瑪斯逐步繳械、以色列停止攻擊並開始撤離加薩。但是尼坦雅胡強調,除非哈瑪斯完全解除武裝,以色列絕不撤離在加薩的任何陣地。

這項立場讓停火計畫的其他部分陷入停滯,包括重建工作,以及派駐國際部隊在以軍與技術委員會控制區域之間緩衝分隔。

上述8國外長在聯合聲明中還呼籲川普的和平理事會(Board of Peace)和美國「立即採取具體行動」,阻止任何一方妨礙該計畫落實。

尼坦雅胡面臨10月27日的艱難選舉,他正試圖透過包括多位對加薩採取強硬立場的閣員組成的聯合政府,力圖保住權力。在這之前,他是否會對停火計畫採取果斷措施仍不得而知。

與此同時,2023年10月7日哈瑪斯對以色列南部發動、引爆這場戰爭的突襲周年紀念日,也即將到來。(編譯:何宏儒)1150817

(中央社記者廖漢原華盛頓16日專電)紐約市長曼達尼近期在社群媒體上傳一段宣傳紐約高中生有機會免費欣賞百老匯音樂劇的中文談話。這段錄影被許多講華語和學習者評為字正腔圓,還會捲舌,在各平台吸引數百萬點閱及討論熱潮。

為宣傳紐約市府向當地高中生送出2000張免費百老匯門票抽籤活動,曼達尼(Zohran Mamdani)錄製英文與中文兩段宣傳談話,其中40秒的中文片段大獲好評。

他說:「你好,我的名字是曼達尼,我不知道中文,可是我想試一下。」

曼達尼操著非華語為母語者的聲調,但咬字、發音、四聲、斷句清晰,他緩慢說道,「紐約市政府將免費送出2000多張百老匯演出門票,請於8月17日之前訪問以下網站,瞭解如何參加抽籤;你還可以免費獲得戲院發展基金為期2個月的會員資格,享受百老匯演出的折扣。演出現場見。」

大批網友留言「中文真好」、「字正腔圓」,也吸引政壇人士以英文留言。

前白宮副國家安全顧問羅茲(Ben Rhodes)在X寫道,第一份政治工作是參與布魯克林市政會議選舉,曾寫信給公共住宅的華裔居民,當時必須翻成中文。曼達尼算是新世代政治人物接觸民眾的新標準了。

長期報導中國事務、操流利中文的記者貝書穎(Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian)在X貼文表示,從語言角度來看太優秀了,「他的發音怎麼做到的,真的是初學者嗎」?她表示,許多人學中文但聲調永遠達不到這種程度,「他的發音驚人的好,捲舌都沒問題」。

曼達尼秀中文吸引大批網友朝聖。有影音專業網友分析全段有10次剪輯痕跡,有人懷疑是AI創作,也有人質疑聲調與發音經過修飾。

(中央社哈拉雷16日綜合外電報導)辛巴威警方表示,卡瑞巴湖超載政府渡輪翻覆事件今天又撈出更多遺體,罹難人數已經增至84人。

法新社報導,這艘載客渡輪是農村村民重要交通工具,11日在與尚比亞接壤、廣闊的卡瑞巴湖(Lake Kariba)上因水面湧浪而翻覆。

聲明指出,「今天下午又從湖中尋獲4具遺體,通報目前死亡人數為84人」、「警方證實,搜尋行動仍在持續,目標尋回已經確認失蹤的乘客」。

官員本週稍早時曾指出,這艘船核准承載數為90人,實際上卻搭載114名成人、5名船員,以及為數不詳的兒童。

民防單位12日表示,已經有77人獲救。根據警方回報已經尋獲84具遺體,意味這艘船至少載有161人。

參與打撈工作的警方人員表示,相信所有遺體最終都會尋獲,目前仍有多少乘客失蹤則不得而知。官員並未說明死者當中有多少兒童。據信多數成年乘客為村民及魚販。(編譯:何宏儒)1150817

川普稱與金正恩關係好 下令縮減與南韓聯合軍演規模

(中央社華盛頓16日綜合外電報導)美國總統川普今天表示,對於美國參加與南韓的聯合軍事演習「並不滿意」,決定縮減將於明天展開、旨在嚇阻北韓的「乙支自由護盾」聯合軍演的規模。

法新社報導,川普在他的真實社群(Truth Social)平台上表示:「基於我和北韓領導人金正恩之間非常良好的關係,我對於美國早在很久以前就同意與南韓進行聯合軍事演習這件事,感到不滿。」

他表示:「這些演習不僅所費不貲,其中很大一部分費用(一如既往)都是由美國買單,而且還對一個只要川普是總統,就一直不具威脅性而且保持尊重的國家傳達完全不適當、具敵意的訊息。」

川普進一步指出,現在已經來不及取消這項演習,因此他已經指示戰爭部長赫格塞斯(Pete Hegseth)「大幅縮減」演習規模。

這項名為「乙支自由護盾」(Ulchi Freedom Shield)的聯合軍演明天展開,為期11天,是南韓武裝部隊和美軍每年例行性的夏季軍演,目的在於加強對擁有核武的北韓的防禦能力。

這類軍演向來令平壤不滿,批評這些演習是入侵的預演。

川普首任總統任內曾與金正恩舉行歷史性的直接會談,但是最終未能解決北韓核武計畫問題。他最後一次與金正恩會面是在2019年。

韓美聯合軍司令部(ROK/US Combined Forces Command)發言人唐納(Ryan Donald)10日表示,這次演習將模擬對抗經歷俄烏戰爭洗禮的北韓部隊。

他指出,這次演習將動員1萬8000名南韓軍人,以及2萬8500名駐韓美軍相對應的參演兵力,重點將放在無人機作戰、GPS干擾和網路攻擊等領域。(編譯:何宏儒)1150817

(中央社德黑蘭16日綜合外電報導)伊朗軍方今天宣布,凡擊殺或俘虜美軍士兵者,將可獲得相當於3萬美元獎金,行動若由女性執行,獎金將加倍。

法新社報導,根據官方伊朗通訊社(IRNA)報導,軍隊總司令哈塔米(Amir Hatami)表示,由於「想要參與的要求非常多」,因而制定這項計畫。

在這場中東戰爭期間,截至目前沒有任何已知的美軍地面部隊部署伊朗的紀錄,唯一例外是4月時為營救一名墜機美軍飛行員而執行的一次救援任務。

哈塔米並未說明相關行動預計將於何時何地發生。

他說:「凡擊殺、俘虜並且將入侵的美國軍人移交者,將獲得由伊朗軍方發放、等值3萬美元或50億託曼(toman)的獎勵。」託曼是伊朗一種非正式貨幣單位,1託曼約合1萬里亞爾(rial)。

哈塔米同時表示:「勇敢進行這類行動的伊朗女性將獲得雙倍獎勵。」

他重申伊朗要求美軍撤離中東地區,強調「他們不再被准許進入波斯灣(Persian Gulf)、阿曼灣(Gulf of Oman)或荷莫茲海峽(Strait of Hormuz)」。(編譯:何宏儒)1150817

美韓自由護盾演習在即 美軍第8軍團首提第一島鏈

請同意我們的隱私權規範,才能啟用聽新聞的功能。

(中央社首爾16日綜合外電報導)美韓自由護盾演習將登場,美國陸軍第8軍團日前表示,這次軍演著重於韓美同盟「現代化」及「形塑」東北亞安全環境。韓媒則指出,該軍團首度在做這類介紹時提及「第一島鏈」。

韓聯社報導,為期11天的美韓聯合軍演「乙支自由護盾」(UFS)將在明天登場,美國第8軍團(U.S. Eighth Army)14日宣布參演時提及上述內容,並強調將加強與南韓的夥伴關係,以強化嚇阻力及區域穩定。

新聞稿表示:「第8軍團的訓練目標,將聚焦於提升『今晚即能作戰』(Fight Tonight)的戰備、美韓同盟現代化,以及形塑東北亞的安全環境。」

韓聯社指出,此一表述可能暗示美軍角色將擴展至朝鮮半島以外的範疇。

同盟現代化與形塑東北亞安全環境的說法,呼應了美國一項關鍵防禦戰略,亦即要求盟國負起更多自我防衛責任,同時採取有可能為了朝鮮半島以外的突發事態而重新部署美軍的方針。這項概念被稱為「戰略彈性」。

另外,第8軍團也提到:「演習還將納入快速調配及整備陸軍預置4號囤儲(APS-4),展現同盟在第一島鏈內迅速投射戰力並確保關鍵地帶安全的能力。」

根據朝鮮電視台(TV Chosun),這是美國第8軍團在說明乙支自由護盾時,首次提及「第一島鏈」一詞。

第一島鏈是指從日本經台灣一直延伸到菲律賓的島嶼鏈,被視為美國應對咄咄逼人的中國的一道重要防線。

這個詞廣泛被用於凸顯美方致力在該區域建構堅實的「拒止嚇阻」態勢,也就是讓敵方認為若發動攻擊將難以得逞的戰略。

南韓則始終主張,乙支自由護盾演習完全是為了防衛朝鮮半島而舉行。駐韓美軍(USFK)發言人唐納(Ryan Donald)10日宣布今年乙支自由護盾計畫時也說,這項演習旨在因應朝鮮半島面臨的安全威脅。(編譯:楊昭彥)1150816

推進加薩和平計畫 傳庫許納埃及會晤哈瑪斯新領導人

請同意我們的隱私權規範,才能啟用聽新聞的功能。

(中央社開羅16日綜合外電報導)據知情人士透露,巴勒斯坦伊斯蘭主義運動組織哈瑪斯新領導人哈雅今天在埃及與美國總統川普的女婿及特使庫許納會晤。庫許納正尋求推進一項遭到以色列拒絕的加薩方案。

法新社報導,消息人士指出,在會談中,哈瑪斯(Hamas)重申對方案所作承諾;庫許納(Jared Kushner)大力推動哈瑪斯徹底解除武裝,並且終止未來在加薩(Gaza)治理上的任何角色。由於外交敏感性,消息人士要求匿名。

據透露,在哈瑪斯支持川普最新一階段加薩計畫、同意將武器交給一個新成立的治理委員會兩週後,庫許納強調須有「具體、可驗證作法」,並且傳達「加薩絕不能再成為以色列的恐怖威脅源頭」的信息。

哈雅(Khalil al-Hayya)出席在埃及地中海城市阿拉敏(El-Alamein)舉行的會談,這是他7月上任以來首次出訪。

哈雅上任後不久哈瑪斯即表態支持解除武裝計畫。部分觀察人士認為,哈瑪斯此舉屬戰術考量,因為他們清楚以色列必然會予以反對。

在東道主埃及發布的會議照片中可見庫許納與包括前英國首相布萊爾(Tony Blair)在內的和平理事會(Board of Peace)成員同桌。作為區域調解方的卡達和土耳其也與會。哈雅則未入鏡。

路透社報導,一名外交消息人士表示,川普特使今天與埃及、卡達和土耳其調解方會晤,試圖推進美國總統加薩和平計畫,即使以色列持續對加薩進行空襲。

該消息人士透露,哈瑪斯官員出席庫許納、和平理事會加薩高級代表穆拉狄諾夫(Nickolay Mladenov)與調解方之間的部分會議。

一名以色列高層官員表示,庫許納、穆拉狄諾夫定明天與以色列總理尼坦雅胡(Benjamin Netanyahu)會面。尼坦雅胡9日稱川普最新的加薩和平藍圖「不可接受」。

這名官員指出,由於哈瑪斯正在重建勢力,華府要以色列結束在加薩對哈瑪斯武裝分子展開精準斬首行動的要求令以色列引以為憂。川普的和平計畫要求立即對加薩停止軍事行動。該計畫預見以色列軍隊撤出、加薩在新的巴勒斯坦文人政府領導下重建的同時,哈瑪斯將解除武裝。

川普上個月宣布他結束戰爭的方案取得突破,並說以色列和哈瑪斯均同意他所提方案。哈瑪斯表示,已經同意該方案,以避免戰事重啟,但是強調協議的落實有賴以色列先履行承諾,包括撤軍和停止攻擊。

以色列本月稍早縮減對加薩的攻擊後,過去幾天又恢復空襲。

以軍今天表示,空軍在汗尤尼斯(Khan Younis)和紐瑟拉特(Nuseirat)擊中兩名巴勒斯坦伊斯蘭聖戰組織(Palestinian Islamic Jihad)和哈瑪斯武裝分子。根據加薩醫護人員說法,這次針對帳篷營地的攻擊造成至少5名巴勒斯坦人受傷。(編譯:何宏儒)1150817

Stripe will reportedly acquire AI gateway startup OpenRouter for $7B+
NEWS link
In Brief

Stripe has finalized a deal to acquire OpenRouter, according to a new report in Bloomberg.

OpenRouter helps customers to select different AI models to perform different tasks, depending on their specific needs and budget. The company announced in May that it had raised a $113 million Series B, at a reported $1.3 billion valuation. (Investors include Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Menlo Ventures, and Alphabet’s Capital G.)

At the time, OpenRouter CEO Alex Atallah described the company as the equivalent of Stripe for AI, because it provides customers with a single access point for different systems and prevents lock-in. The startup also claimed to have 8 million global users and to provide access to more than 400 models.

The Wall Street Journal reported last month that Stripe and OpenRouter were in acquisition talks. Now, Bloomberg said those discussions have led to a deal price of more than $7 billion.

A Stripe spokesperson told TechCrunch that the company does not comment on rumors or speculation.

Why people aren’t buying Mark Zuckerberg’s AI future
NEWS link
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg published a 6,500 word essay this week declaring that “The Future is for Everyone” and painting an optimistic picture of a future powered by AI, where “everyone will have an exceptionally capable personal agent that understands you, your goals, and everything you care about.”

On the latest episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Rebecca Bellan, and I discussed why not everyone is buying Zuckerberg’s vision — including our colleague Russell Brandom, who wrote that the manifesto is “exactly why people don’t like AI.”

Comparing Zuckerberg to Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei (who spent the weekend pushing back against the idea that he’s an AI doomer), Rebecca said the Meta CEO seems to be positioning himself “almost like an anti-Dario.” The problem, however, is Zuckerberg and Meta’s history.

“You look back to the social media days, [Zuckerberg] was saying that he wants to make sure that everyone has an outlet for talking to their friends and having a social network,” Rebecca said. “And what do we have instead? We have ragebaiting and advertisements, and not connection.”

Keep reading for a preview of our conversation, edited for length and clarity.

Rebecca Bellan: Cynically, I think that this is an attempt for Meta to win in a different way. They’re not winning in the frontier, closed-model space. They’re not necessarily even winning in the open space. But when it comes to personal empowerment, as Mark Zuckerberg talks about in his letter, “The Future Is for Everyone,” that’s where he’s trying to win. He’s trying to provide the models that people will use for their own personal AI on their own personal devices.

I think last year, when he published a [similar] “Futures for Everyone” letter, [the promise] was that a lot of that AI would go onto the glasses, the wearables, but it’s not really clear what the final hardware form factor for this would be, and I guess he’s like leaving it up to the individual to choose.

So his idea is that you’re using [Meta’s new AI model] Glimmer for managing your schedule, drafting messages, organizing files, it’s always on, it can operate anytime, anywhere, with or without an internet connection.

But then there is still Muse Spark, so that maintains a way for them to have some level of control over, still, its most capable models, and provide a revenue outlet for people who want to scale their compute, and people who want to like do larger projects, or companies that might want to do larger projects.

Anthony Ha: I imagine the part of the context here is also — Meta has made some very serious investments in AI, last year there [were] also all these stories about how much money they were trying to pay for AI scientists, but in terms of who we think of as the leading companies, the frontier labs, Meta doesn’t tend to come up in the conversation.

Another way it doesn’t come up in the conversation is in, you know, what are the popular consumer AI chatbots? Certainly, people are interacting with Meta AI tools in Instagram, in Facebook, but it’s not a company that you think of when, “I’m going to go use my personal assistant.” Meta isn’t that yet, and so it feels, to a certain extent, this is an attempt to reposition them and try to claim space that they really haven’t been that successful at before. Is that fair?

Rebecca: I think that is really fair to say. And I would take it with a grain of salt because Mark Zuckerberg loves to put out a vision of what his companies will do for people and how they will empower people. And so far, what that looks like for Meta — I mean, of course, Llama is great; it’s a great tool and open source, but I think that on a consumer level, how are people using Meta AI? Well, there’s like a lot of creepy-ass chatbots.

My TLDR is: I think that [Zuckerberg’s] letter and his idea of personal empowerment is putting a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths because it’s him who’s saying it. Russell Brandom, our AI editor, wrote about this this week. You look back to the social media days, he was saying that he wants to make sure that everyone has an outlet for talking to their friends and having a social network. And what do we have instead? We have ragebaiting and advertisements, and not connection.

Kirsten Korosec: Yeah, I think that the manifesto didn’t strike the right note for a lot of people. And to Russell’s point, which he makes in this column, is it’s what’s making people hate AI or hate on AI — because, to your point, it is coming from Zuckerberg, and I do think also it feels very Pollyannish in a way. He’s put these thoughts out there in the past, and it really doesn’t provide what I think is a more realistic picture, but instead casts AI as this great tool for humanity. That might be the case, but there will also be extreme costs to that, and I think that’s why the negative reaction to it has been so widespread.

Rebecca: It feels like he’s positioning himself as almost like an anti-Dario. I don’t know. There’s a lot of talk among the frontier labs: “We’re pacing the frontier, pulling back, focus on safety. We need to slow down development.” They’re not doing any of that, of course, but they’re talking about it, and because of all these recent cybersecurity incidents that we’ve had.

Whereas Mark Zuckerberg, on the other hand, is like, “No, no, we do not slow down. We cannot afford to give an inch to China, and slowing down would only hurt the individual, who can be empowered by this technology.”

But I mean, I was like, “Oh, maybe I’ll try to download Muse Glimmer and see what I can do with it.” Can I download it to my MacBook? No. You need specific hardware. I forget what the hardware is — it’s not actually that accessible to the average person.

Kirsten: It’s not for everyone. Not yet.

Anthony: The one positive thing I will say for this very long manifesto — 6,500 words, longer than almost anything that’s been published on TechCrunch — is that there is one sentence where he says, “If you are an AI doomer and you believe that that’s the future that AI is going to bring, why are you building this stuff?”

Which I think is fair. Although my big takeaway from that is not that the AI future is great, but it makes you wonder about people who are making these predictions and then pushing ahead anyway.

I also wanted to talk a little bit about Russell’s point, which I think is totally a fair one, about how part of it is the messenger. For a variety of reasons, I think that people are suspicious of Mark Zuckerberg, of Meta, arguably that could become amplified over the next few months as this new Facebook movie is coming out.

But it’s also about the future that is being promised by these AI companies, and often why we see these viral pile-ons whenever Sam Altman or Mark Zuckerberg or somebody is making a prediction about this AI future and people essentially say, “Who wants this?” One of the more famous recent examples was Sam Altman talking about the idea of like, “You could use ChatGPT to make podcasts about your kids’ interests to listen to while driving to school,” And of course everyone is like, “Why don’t you just talk to your kid?”

Part of the manifesto was — half of it was just stuff where it is just, “It’s going to unleash all this creativity and invention,” and it’s so abstract. If you’re skeptical about AI, none of that is going to convince you, because it seems unreal. And then the stuff that is more concrete, about these personal coaches and assistants, there’s some aspects that appeal, but a lot of [them] that don’t.

Anthropic CEO says AI backlash is ‘fundamentally a crisis of trust’
NEWS link
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently pushed back against the idea that he’s been painting an overly pessimistic picture of artificial intelligence and how it might shape the future.

Amodei’s comments came in response to investor Gavin Baker, who argued — both on the All-In podcast and on X — that Amodei’s warnings about the dangers of AI have helped to fuel a backlash in the United States, particularly against data centers.

Claiming that Amodei has “lost the argument” when it comes to AI regulation (Anthropic has advocated for some regulations, including a California bill that imposes transparency requirements on large AI companies), and given that “he is about to be the CEO of one of the most important companies in the world,” Baker wrote, “I respectfully think he should make an effort to be a more positive advocate for his own industry.”

Baker is far from the only one arguing that AI skepticism and even government crackdowns are a natural response to the dire warnings of some AI executives. But in a series of posts, Amodei disagreed with the idea that his “messaging has been disproportionately negative.” Instead, he said that his writing has been “about equally balanced between risks and benefits,” and that he wrote his essay “Machines of Loving Grace” because he “didn’t feel the AI industry was painting an inspiring enough picture of how the technology could radically transform the world for the better.”

Nonetheless, Amodei acknowledged that “the public has a negative view of AI” and he agreed that “this is a big problem.” Where he disagreed was with the idea that this negativity is “primarily caused” by Amodei “or any other AI leader warning about AI’s risks.”

“I think it is fundamentally a crisis of trust,” Amodei said. “I think that ordinary people don’t trust companies, governments, or the tech industry and always suspect that we are cooking up some new way to screw them over.”

Indeed, “trust” is a word that often comes up in headlines about OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, and is apparently an issue for other AI CEOs like Amodei, too. In Amodei’s telling, however, this is a crisis that’s been decades in the making, with the AI backlash “just the latest iteration of it.”

“I think by far the most accurate criticism of AI companies including Anthropic is that we haven’t yet delivered on our big promises to benefit the world,” Amodei said. “That is totally on us, and I think it’s the criticism you should be making, instead of all this stuff about messaging and marketing.”

Put another way, he said promising that AI will cure cancer is “more a cliche than it is inspiring”; what would actually change people’s opinions of AI would be “actually curing cancer.”

As for regulation, Amodei argued that Baker was painting “a false choice” between distributing AI widely without regulation, or concentrating the technology in the hands of a few companies through regulation.

“I know that there’s a sort of Silicon Valley shorthand where regulation = regulatory capture = concentration of power, but I’ve always found this to be an overly simplified picture of the world,” Amodei said. “Many people outside this bubble think of regulation as something that constrains corporate power and benefits ordinary people.”

Amodei added that he doesn’t “necessarily agree with that perspective either,” but he said that’s “why Anthropic has always made its policy proposals very carefully.”

“We try very hard to make proposals that disadvantage (slow down) frontier AI companies while *advantaging* smaller competitors,” he said.

Why make those proposals at all? Amodei said that in his view, “AI is *structurally* a technology that tends to concentrate power” and that “open-weights do help some with this but are nowhere near a sufficient solution because they simply shift the concentration somewhat to those with the most compute and chip.”

“By contrast I think the right ‘rules of the road’ can simultaneously (a) address AI’s cyber/bio/alignment risks, (b) institutionally constrain the power of the frontier AI companies, and (c) leave room for open-weights models while also addressing the specific risks that they bring,” he said.

This post has been updated to include more quotes from Amodei’s posts, including those around open weights.

TechCrunch Mobility: The shifting flight path of electric air taxis

Something was in the air this week because we had a heck of a lot of electric aircraft news. Ba-dum-tss.

But really, it’s no joke — two of the bigger deals of the week involved companies developing electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL). Together they illustrate how the burgeoning sector continues to consolidate and seek out near-term revenue streams even as they go through the lengthy regulatory process to eventually deploy electric air taxis.

In one of the crazier twists in the nascent eVTOL industry, Archer Aviation announced that it now owns its former rival Wisk Aero. Under the terms of the deal, Boeing agreed to sell Wisk Aero and two other subsidiaries to Archer in exchange for an ownership stake in the company. Boeing now holds a 16.5% stake in Archer. The other subsidiaries are SkyGrid, a digital airspace and air traffic management software company, and drone maker Insitu.

For those unfamiliar, Wisk sued Archer in 2021 over allegations of the “brazen theft” of confidential information and intellectual property. The case went on for two years before the companies reached an unusual settlement that not only ended the lawsuit and Archer’s countersuit against Wisk seeking $1 billion in damages, but also led to a new collaboration.

Wisk has taken a rather winding path. It started as Kitty Hawk, an electric aviation startup led by Sebastian Thrun, who co-founded the Alphabet moonshot factory X, and backed by Google co-founder Larry Page. Kitty Hawk shut down in September 2022, but its Cora program, which had spun off into a joint venture with Boeing, lived on. That joint venture was renamed Wisk Aero.

Then there’s Joby Aviation, which made a more predictable deal this week. The company acquired Resonant Sciences for $500 million, marking the electric air taxi developer’s push into the defense sector.

Resonant Sciences, which makes radio frequency and sensor systems, will become a dedicated defense business under Joby aptly called Joby Defense.

Joby has been slowly expanding into the defense sector over the past couple years even as it has pursued its original mission to certify and manufacture electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for use as urban air taxis. Joby says it is sticking with its mission, but also sees opportunity — not to mention revenue — in the defense sector.

For the past two years, Uber has been laser-focused on locking up partnerships with, and even investing in, autonomous vehicle technology companies. But this week Uber did the opposite. The ride-hail company sold off its entire stake in Serve Robotics, the autonomous delivery robot company that spun out of Uber more than five years ago.

Here’s the interesting part. According to some little birds, Serve Robotics was surprised by the sell-off and only learned about it when Uber’s regulatory filing was posted. Uber and Serve are still business partners, and that contract, which puts Serve’s delivery robots on the Uber Eats app, is set to expire in 2027.

Aurora Innovation and Kodiak AI have received permits from the California Department of Motor Vehicles to begin testing their self-driving trucks on public roads in the state. And Kodiak AI has already started.

Avride said it has surpassed 100,000 autonomous rides on the Uber app in Dallas. There are some caveats here, of course, namely that there is still a human safety operator behind the wheel. Avride wouldn’t supply me with a weekly ridership breakdown, but it has been about two months since the company announced it had reached the 60,000-ride milestone.

Delta Air Lines is investigating a cybersecurity incident in which an unidentified passenger allegedly created a fake Wi-Fi network on a flight, prompting pilots to alert air traffic control.

Flock announced a series of new policies and tools, claiming they will help curb abuse of its automated license plate camera reader systems and help keep its law enforcement customers accountable.

Ford said it’s on track to complete its $2 billion overhaul of its Louisville Assembly Plant in Kentucky, which will use a new assembly system to build its next-generation of EVs, starting with the midsize Fathom truck.

Ground Truth, an art project created to raise awareness about housing affordability in New York, created a gadget that will trigger the brakes on Citi rental bikes, making it harder to pedal through rent-burdened neighborhoods, Wired reported.

Hiroshi Okuda, a longtime Toyota executive who served as president and eventually chairman, died this week, according to the company. Okuda took some big swings during his time at Toyota, notably pushing for the gas-electric hybrid Prius vehicle. Bloomberg has a lengthy writeup on Okuda.

Pony.ai and Uber plan to bring 2,000 robotaxis to four cities in Europe as part of an expanded partnership.

Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy took to X this week to promote the DOT’s effort to recruit video gamers as air traffic controllers. According to Duffy, 2,000 candidates have been hired through this program, although he didn’t say if they were all gamers.

Uber Freight is investigating a cyberattack and data breach that hacking and extortion gang Helix recently took credit for.

Waymo is expanding in California again after the state’s Public Utilities Commission approved terms of its commercial ride-hailing permit. The company’s robotaxis can now commercially operate (i.e., charge for rides) in a broader territory across the San Francisco Bay Area and Los Angeles. The service can also expand to Sacramento and San Diego — although the Waymo folks say this hasn’t happened yet.

Zoox released its safety case framework, a critical document for any company that wants to build trust with the public and show how and why it thinks its technology is safe enough. This framework is particularly important because today there is no federally mandated test, or AV “driver’s license” so to speak.

《TAIPEI TIMES》 China wants to block drone bill: source

‘UNITED FRONT’ TACTICS: Beijing is pressuring Taiwanese politicians to block the Executive Yuan’s proposed special act to fund military uncrewed vehicles, a source said

By Tzou Jiing-wen and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writer and CNA

The Legislative Yuan is slated to hold cross-caucus negotiations on 14 versions of a draft uncrewed vehicle act on Thursday, amid rumors that Beijing is pressuring some Taiwanese politicians to block passage of a special bill proposed by the Ministry of National Defense to procure military drones and uncrewed vessels.

A source in Beijing said the Chinese Communist Party has been using its United Front Work Department and Taiwan Affairs Office to pressure Taiwanese politicians who are friendly toward Beijing, pushing them to block the Executive Yuan’s proposed special act to fund military uncrewed vehicles.

The proposed legislation would allocate up to NT$210 billion (US$6.55 billion) from August next year through December 2031 to procure coastal surveillance and reconnaissance drones, coastal attack drones and small uncrewed surface vessels designed for attack missions.

The source said staff units of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) have conducted several wargame simulations of Taiwan’s plans to build up its drone forces in coordination with the US.

Beijing reportedly believes the deployment could significantly undermine the PLA’s strategic advantage in the Taiwan Strait and weaken its strategic deterrence against Japan and the Philippines. The PLA has recommended to the Chinese Central Military Commission that Taiwan’s drone buildup be blocked.

Beijing could accept a version of the legislation focused on “demilitarization,” but wants the budget to be subject to annual, item-by-item review and approval, the source said.

They said blocking the Executive Yuan’s special budget could also pressure the administration of President William Lai (賴清德) to find alternative ways to complete its planned military buildup, giving the Chinese military more time to develop countermeasures.

The Legislative Yuan’s Economics, Foreign Affairs and National Defense, and Finance committees on July 27 jointly reviewed the 14 versions of the legislation. After nearly six hours of discussion, lawmakers failed to reach agreement on the bill, including its responsible authority, spending cap and implementation period. The bills passed the committee stage, but must undergo cross-party negotiations before being considered by the full legislature.

The Legislative Yuan on Friday approved NT$63.4 billion in uncrewed vehicle spending, including a six-year NT$44.2 billion industrial development program proposed by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and NT$19.2 billion in drone procurement budgets proposed by government agencies.

Executive Yuan Secretary-General Xavier Chang (張惇涵) on Saturday said the opposition should support the administration’s special act if it supports the armed forces.

He said opposition lawmakers previously blocked drone-related spending, adding that the upcoming negotiations would show whether they truly support the country’s drone development and national defense.

Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) caucus deputy secretary-general Hsu Yu-chen (許宇甄) yesterday said the opposition had supported the NT$63.4 billion in related spending.

Hsu said the KMT’s proposed legislation would invest NT$240 billion over six years in the uncrewed vehicle industry, more than the NT$210 billion proposed by the Executive Yuan.

The KMT favors funding the program through annual budgets rather than a special budget, Hsu said, adding that this would allow the legislature to review procurement results, industrial policy and progress toward domestic production each year.

She said the KMT supports drone development and greater defense autonomy, but wants greater scrutiny of how the money is spent, what equipment is purchased, who produces it, how much is manufactured domestically and whether the equipment meets the military’s operational needs.

《TAIPEI TIMES》 Taiwan protests S Korean biennale over name change

‘POLITICAL CENSORSHIP’: International audiences would see how Taiwanese artists respond to information warfare and geopolitics through their works, an artist said

By Ling Mei-hsueh and Fion Khan / Staff reporter, with staff writer and CNA

請繼續往下閱讀...

Taiwan yesterday reiterated its protest over the removal of “Taiwan” from the Gwangju Biennale pavilion name as participating Taiwanese artists condemned the move as political censorship.

The 16th Gwangju Biennale is scheduled to take place in South Korea from Sept. 5 to Nov. 15. For the first time, the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts proposed participating under the name “Taiwan Pavilion.”

However, promotional materials on the biennale’s official Web site changed the name to “NTMOFA,” the museum’s English acronym, effectively removing “Taiwan” from the poster.

The 10 Taiwanese artists and curators invited to participate in the Gwangju Biennale in a joint statement on Saturday criticized organizers for arbitrarily renaming the “Taiwan Pavilion” to “NTMOFA.”

In the joint statement titled: “The censored Taiwan Pavilion” addressed to the Gwangju Biennale Foundation, the artists said the organizer ignored repeated protests and negotiation attempts by the museum.

“We believe a biennale whose history is rooted in democracy, human rights and the Gwangju spirit has a duty to explain why participants’ self-naming must face political restrictions,” the statement said. “We strongly condemn the foundation’s political censorship of art exhibitions.”

The disappearance of the Taiwan Pavilion was neither unusual nor an isolated incident, it added.

“It is not merely the erasure of a name, but a threat to freedom of expression and the global art community,” it said. “Through this statement, we stand with all art workers who have faced, are facing, or will face political censorship.”

The joint statement was signed by 10 Taiwanese artists and curators: Lee Yi-fan (李亦凡), Juan Po-yuan (阮柏遠), Lin Yu-liang (林瑜亮), Chang Wen-hsuan (張紋瑄), Hsu Che-yu (許哲瑜), Chen Hsiang-wen (陳湘汶), Chen Wan-yin (陳琬尹), Cheng Hsien-yu (鄭先喻), Cheng Ting-ting (鄭亭亭) and Su Hui-yu (蘇匯宇).

Chang, who is based in the Netherlands, said that all parties had referred to the exhibition as the “Taiwan Pavilion” since an invitation to participate in the event was confirmed in March.

However, the organizer abruptly renamed it “NTMOFA” this month, a move she called political censorship and triggered protests from artists and the museum.

The event organizer has yet to respond publicly, potentially affecting the upcoming setup phase, she said, adding that the biennale’s political censorship on the Taiwan Pavillion could undermine its credibility in the international art world.

The Gwangju Biennale is South Korea’s largest and one of the world’s best-known biennales, she said.

With this year’s exhibition scheduled to run alongside the Busan Biennale and Frieze Seoul art fair, the event would draw heavy international attention, and renaming the Taiwan Pavilion risks tainting the biennale with political censorship and distrust, she said.

Political censorship, such as altering artwork descriptions or changing artists’ birthplaces, has emerged in the past few years at some international biennales over controversies including accusations of anti-Semitism, she said, adding that many global artists are resisting.

As one of the artists of the Taiwan Pavilion, she said her work would not be viewed solely as an individual creation, but as part of a broader and more complex narrative shared with the works of other participating artists.

International audiences would see how Taiwanese artists respond to information warfare and geopolitics and use their works to reflect on contemporary politics, she said.

From the initial exhibition proposal and contract signing through preparations for the event, the museum has consistently used the name “Taiwan Pavilion” in its communications with the organizers, the Ministry of Culture said.

The ministry added it has instructed Taiwan’s overseas offices and the museum to continue lodging strong protests with the organizers while evaluating possible responses.

《TAIPEI TIMES》 Ceremony held for Paiwan cultural alliance
NEWS link

By Rachel Lin / Staff reporter

Academia Sinica’s Institute of Ethnology and the Kaviyangan community in Pingtung County’s Taiwu Township (泰武) yesterday formalized a cultural alliance through a traditional Paiwan masanvetjek ceremony, pledging to regard one another as siblings (vetjek).

請繼續往下閱讀...

The Tjerelai family of the Kaviyangan community also donated 36 reels of audio recordings to the institute’s collection. The recordings document key moments in the community’s history and serve as an important resource for preserving and passing on its cultural heritage.

The connection between the Institute of Ethnology and Kaviyangan Village dates back to their shared effort to safeguard a national treasure — the “mulitan” ancestral pillar, Academia Sinica President Chen Chien-jen (陳建仁) said.

Since the joint curation of the “Returning Home: Recalling kaviyangan’s Records of Art” exhibition in 2020, the two sides accumulated six years of collaboration in holding physical and online exhibitions, building trust and deep fellowship, he said.

Yesterday’s new alliance was formed according to Paiwan tradition, and it marks a major milestone in returning knowledge to the sovereignty of the tribe.

The alliance ceremony was led by the Zingrur family, traditional leaders of the Jiaping people, and they entered the venue while tribe members shouted, intoned ancient chants and fired guns, to perform an emayam (blessing and verification of gifts) ritual.

The Zingrur family bestowed upon the Institute of Ethnology the house name Vavulengan, implying the pinnacle of academic prestige, as well as symbolizing the peaceful dwelling of the mulitan ancestral spirit pillar within the vavulengan family house.

Following the ritual, an official announcement of the alliance was made to the ancestral spirits and the tribe.

After the alliance was formed, the Jiaping donated 36 volumes of mamazangiljan ti ljaljangalan a lja zingrur oral history recordings to the institute.

The collection was personally recorded in the 2000s by Chou Lin Yi-chih (周林義治, 1923 to 2017), a younger brother of the tribe’s 17th-generation leader.

The contents cover the tribe’s founding history, shifts in traditional rituals, and historical experiences of traditional leaders in exercising regional diplomacy, which serve as crucial oral history and cultural memory for the Jiaping Tribe.

Institute of Ethnology director Jou Yuh-huey (周玉慧) said once the oral recordings enter the public cultural preservation system, the cultural vitality of indigenous people in contemporary society can be sustained through research, archiving and reinterpretation.

Chou Lin’s granson Chou Cheng-chun (周政君) said that the voice recordings left behind by his grandfather serve as an important memory repository for future generations to understand the history and culture of the Jiaping Tribe.

They also bear the strength of the tribe as it faces the changing of times and safeguards its cultural autonomy, he said.

The event concluded with the Paiwan traditions of zemiyan (a circle dance) and papukizing (a ceremony of becoming family).

The Jiaping Tribe also presented a large wooden kadang (spoon), symbolizing sharing meals from the same hearth, and both sides expressed commitment to maintaining their sibling bond and continuing to promote cultural preservation, knowledge inheritance and tribe-centered cultural revitalization.

《TAIPEI TIMES》 Time zone switch debate resurfaces online

UNNECESSARY?:While some said that the switch would mean more sunlight exposure for workers, others said the government should promote flexible working hours instead

By Sam Garcia / Staff writer

請繼續往下閱讀...

An online debate has resurfaced on whether Taiwan should switch to the same time zone as Japan, with supporters citing its geographic location and saying that China would have no right to object.

The debate erupted on Threads when users suggested that Taiwan should stop using the same time zone as China, Malaysia and Singapore, GMT+8, and instead switch one hour ahead to the same time zone as Japan and South Korea, GMT+9, which it is geographically closer to.

Under GMT+9 the sun would set later year-round, meaning that people would see sunlight after getting off work even in the winter and feel less weary, users said.

More than half of the world’s countries have time zones that do not align with their geographic longitude, for reasons including sovereignty claims, colonial history, centralized governance, daylight hours and cross-border trade, a user said.

In addition, each country’s time zone is considered a matter of national sovereignty, as there is no global authority that regulates time zones, so each country can set its own time zone according to its needs, they said.

However, others said that it is long working hours that are the cause of burnout and weariness among workers, not the time zone.

Instead, the government should promote flexible or shorter working hours, with optional overtime, as 9am to 6pm is too long for a normal workday, they said.

Many supporters of changing the time zone said Taiwan feels more closely aligned with Japan and that having a different time zone than China would underscore that the two are not subordinate to each other.

Others said there was little reason for Taiwan to share China’s time zone when it does not follow China’s government or market hours.

Taiwan uses GMT+8 largely because the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) government brought the system with it when it fled to Taiwan following its defeat by the Chinese Communist Party.

The time zone was called Chungyuan Standard Time and was established in the early days of the Republic of China based on the global standard time for the 120th meridian east longitude.

According to National Archives Administration records, during the Japanese colonial period, Taiwan adopted the same standard time as Japan beginning in 1937, due to Japan’s military needs and its policy of further integrating Taiwan with the Japanese mainland.

After Japan’s defeat in World War II in 1945, it ended the use of Japan’s Central Standard Time in Taiwan and the KMT government incorporated Taiwan into Chungyuan Standard Time, records from Taiwan Historica show.

After Taiwan’s first change of ruling party in 2000, the administration of then-president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) renamed Chungyuan Standard Time to National Standard Time.

〔記者盧養宣/綜合報導〕ABSOLUTE 3x3聯賽(A3)本季賽事持續熱戰,高雄站原訂場地再次受到雨勢影響,賽事移師至高雄籃球發展的重要據點三民家商舉行,主辦單位特別感謝教練謝玉娟大力支持與協助,讓賽事在雨勢干擾下仍能順利進行,也讓A3再次走進臺灣籃球的重要培育基地。

本站台灣培訓隊因集訓行程未參賽,男子組特別開放兩支外卡隊伍加入戰局,其中來自臺南的啟碩香圃首度參加A3便展現亮眼實力,一路突破重圍闖進8強,成為本站賽事的一大亮點,也讓更多南部球隊有機會在A3舞台與各路好手交鋒。

請繼續往下閱讀...

三民家商不僅是137系統的重要訓練基地,也是高雄全家海神平時的練球場地,本站男子組冠軍賽更上演兩支與高雄籃球有深厚淵源的球隊對決,首次闖進A3冠軍賽的旗津造船者,由義守大學好手趙子銘、謝葉俊翔搭配畢業學長王正文,以及轉任海神體能教練的勤明慶組成,比賽當天也吸引賀丹、蘇文儒、邱子軒等海神球員到場加油。

另一邊,三度叩關A3冠軍賽的新北FOOTER,本次由張伯維領銜,搭配同樣來自137系統的徐鉦順、陶俊,以及畢業於高師大的莊博強,兩支具有濃厚高雄籃球背景的隊伍在冠軍賽正面交鋒,雙方從開賽便展現高水準攻防,精彩對決一路延續至比賽最後,最終新北FOOTER在MVP張伯維單場獨拿7分的帶領下,以21:17成功拿下本季首座冠軍,這也是張伯維投入A3賽事以來,首度站上最高頒獎台。

女子組冠軍賽則上演「北市大內戰」,由新生代核心球員組成的臺北竑凱運動X北市大,對決由黃淑珍等大學姐領軍的臺北兆基屋管,比賽一開始雙方就展開拉鋸,兆基屋管靠著「小跑車」尹湘雲火燙手感連拿5分緊咬比數,竑凱運動則展現成熟的團隊配合,透過多點開花的進攻逐步建立領先,比賽中段竑凱運動逐漸掌握比賽節奏,最終以20:13擊敗兆基屋管,拿下本站女子組冠軍,徐郁婷也憑藉全場亮眼表現獲選本站女子組MVP。

〔記者盧養宣/新北報導〕陳子威在UBA率領政治大學締造跨季74連勝完成6連霸壯舉,今年瓊斯盃首度接下成人國家隊兵符,整合台灣白隊有成,在第一階段的小組賽拿下2勝1敗,暫居分組第2,他帶人也帶心,表示能帶到優秀的球員很幸福。

台灣白本屆雖以明年世大運成員為主,不過也找來高國豪、白曜誠等擁有豐富職業經驗的球員,陳子威表示,這次教練團的目標就是希望學長能帶領學弟,肯定高國豪和白曜誠等人以身作則,「學弟都會看學長怎麼做,學長教會他們很多事情,包括如何在場上生存等等,在球隊間形成正向的能量。」

請繼續往下閱讀...

陳子威在不到一個月的集訓期間成功整合職業球員與大學好手,他說,「我在組訓期間就有告訴球員,訓練與比賽大家都很厲害,每個人在母隊都是很優秀的球員,我想帶給大家思想和認知的東西,告訴球員如何做才能幫助國家隊打球,讓大家想法是一致的。」

前三天的比賽明顯可以感受白隊氣氛融洽,年紀最長的高國豪也透露,球隊目前極具向心力和凝聚力,球員在賽後記者會更時常提到「感謝威哥」,讓陳子威後來都有點難為情,表示「我跟他們說不要再感謝我了,要感謝國家。」

在UBA帶領政大建立王朝的陳子威過去曾擔任亞大籃、世大運主帥,此次是首度接掌成人國家隊,雖然還不是一隊,但執教功力再獲好評,他指出,「能帶到這些優秀的球員很幸運也很幸福,團隊配合度很高,這點在國家隊很重要,大學生我通常會強調感恩,職業球員的話我則會教導珍惜的重要性,要珍惜這個舞台,這次他們也做到了。」

【愛的種類】

每個人都有愛,每個人都說愛,但愛有很多種類,現在就來談談愛:

一、原愛

也就是告子所說的“食色性也”的原始的愛,這種愛動物也有,稱之為“性愛”或“獸愛”比較難聽但很貼切,這種愛出自於生理需求或生存需求,所以稱為原愛,野獸爭食或爭取伴侶的時候面目猙獰最明顯,這是受教育或教化之前就具備的愛。

二、物愛

這種愛也是原始的,除了食、色之外對於“物”的愛,包括人、獸都有這種愛,比如人類對住所、寵物、器物的愛,動物對地盤、巢穴的愛都屬於此類。

三、戀愛

自然是青春期或動物發情期兩性或同性的愛,這種愛與生理狀況有關,通常隨著年齡增長逐漸淡化(70歲以上還有的,屬於幻覺)。

四、靈愛

也就是所謂“柏拉圖式”的愛情,強調精神或靈性的相互交流或吸引,認為性愛與戀愛相對獸性與低俗。

五、短愛

原愛是恆常的,因為不吃會死。性愛是短暫的,老了就沒了。物愛有可能更短,所謂的“見異思遷”,今天愛了明天就不愛或者轉換了,這種情況很多,我認識一些人經常換餐廳,吃兩次就厭了。佛法稱為“觀心無常”,心意隨時在變,所以叫做“心猿意馬”!這種愛平常就稱為“短愛”,情人之間就叫“簡愛”,昨晚“山明海寫”,今晨“昨眠拍寫”!

六、偏愛

這種愛來自於累世的習氣,每個人都有但有些人不明顯,比如對顏色、聲音、對動植物的喜愛、甚至對同性的喜愛,這種愛也是出於受教育之前,但偏執程度因人而異。

七、教愛

受到某種教育或教化之後產生或引發的愛,佛法中的“戒禁取見”也屬於這種,比如學了音樂有人偏愛鋼琴、有人偏愛小提琴,這是教育後產生的,歐美人信上帝、阿拉伯人信真主、東方人信佛陀,都是受教化影響後產生的。

八、公愛

以上的幾種都屬於“私愛”,出發點都是為自己的。還有一種稱為“公愛”,出發點是為“公”也就是為大家的,這種愛多數是受教育、教化之後產生的,或者有人天生就有但受教之後引發出更多的,這種愛就是先聖先賢所說的“推己及人”或國父所說的“博愛”或有人稱之為“大愛”,強烈一點的話就成了“正義感”與“公道心”,打抱不平甚至抗爭、革命都屬於這種愛,雖說都是“為公”的但所含的“瞋恚”與“怨恨”與“私愛”相比一點都不少,發作起來也是要傷人的。

九、疼愛

深一點叫疼愛、淡一點就叫“關愛”,這是更高的層次,是比較不求回報、不含怨懟的,比如祖父母對孫子、孫女的愛(父母一般還做不到),純粹的付出與關心,極少情緒與責罵,只是為對方好而已。

十、慈悲

這不屬於愛的層次,因為愛是有反面詞的,那就是“恨”,愛不到、愛了對方不如所願,都會有一點不滿或恨意,如果完全沒有了,那恭喜你!你已經進入了佛法的“慈悲”層次,因為慈悲是沒有反義詞的,單純只是原諒和給予,讓你“離苦得樂”,得不到滿意的結果也不怨懟,還是繼續的諒解和教化,這是菩薩境界,菩薩才做得到的。

以上是大略說說,佛法稱為“略論”,如果要詳細討論就稱為“廣論”,限於篇幅當然略論就好。

一個71歲的老明星,看到關注自己40年的小粉絲被人冤枉,挺身出來聲援,你說這是哪一種愛?還是慈悲?還是頭腦壞掉?

中元看恆春搶孤改運 廖大乙指點「秘訣」號召到恆春體驗

一年一度的恆春中元豎孤棚盛事將震撼登場。(記者蔡宗憲攝)

一年一度的恆春中元豎孤棚盛事震撼登場!每逢農曆七月十五日中元節,不僅是全台矚目的民俗文化焦點,更是恆春半島一年中最熱鬧的觀光高峰期。知名民俗專家廖大乙特別現身指導,教導民眾如何在觀賞這項百年傳統搶孤競技時,順道透過古老民俗智慧為自己與家人祈福改運,邀請全國民眾一起湧入恆春,感受這場兼具文化魅力與觀光價值的熱血盛會。

廖大乙指出,農曆七月十五中元節適逢「三官大帝」中的「地官大帝」誕辰。地官大帝專門掌管赦罪與解厄,對於今年運勢較為不順、犯太歲(如屬鼠、牛、馬、雞者)、有官司纏身、或受慢性病痛折磨的民眾而言,中元節正是轉運與除穢的最佳時機。

請繼續往下閱讀...

廖大乙特別分享,民眾前往恆春觀賞豎孤棚與搶孤活動時,可以善用現場強大的普度場域與能量。在孤棚腳下,只要雙手合十、展現誠意,為場上的搶孤選手加油打氣,同時懷著虔誠與敬畏之心,向地官大帝與中元公恭敬祈求。民眾可在此許願行善積德,祈求官司逢凶化吉、家中的長輩與病患能夠逢凶化吉遇貴人、恢復健康;若覺得近期事業或感情不順,也能在孤棚下誠心請示地官大帝赦罪感化,祈求來年平安順遂、百業更進步。

恆春鎮公所也呼籲,恆春豎孤棚不僅是展現力與美的在地傳統競技,更是恆春重要的國際級文化觀光資產。邀請全國民眾把握中元假期,攜家帶眷造訪恆春半島,除了一睹豎孤棚的壯觀場面與刺激比賽,更能享受當地的絕美海景與特色美食。

有安全帽沒給她戴 灌6瓶啤酒騎車接送/ 酒駕害死女兒 國民法官重判10年8月
NEWS link
騎機車載兒童 注意事項

曾多次酒駕遭判刑、甚至被吊銷駕照的男子陳證閎,騎機車接女兒放學前,竟狂飲六瓶啤酒,接了女兒後撞上汽車,女兒因未戴安全帽傷重不治,陳男酒測值高達〇.九八毫克,高雄地方法院國民法官依酒駕致死罪,重判陳男十年八月,為國民法官制度上路以來,針對酒駕致死單一罪行量刑最重一例。

6歲女童站前踏板 拋飛不治

判決指出,二〇二四年十一月二十日下午,陳男要去學校接女兒放學,卻在家灌下六瓶五百毫升啤酒,載女兒時,機車明明有準備安全帽,陳男卻未給女兒戴上,而且讓她站在前踏板上,結果機車行經高雄市苓雅區成功一路、海邊路口時,與對向準備左轉的轎車以六十公里時速相撞,六歲女童當場被拋飛重摔,急救後不治。

請繼續往下閱讀...

警方酒測陳男吐氣酒精濃度高達每公升〇.九八毫克,幾乎達爛醉程度,陳男雖留在現場,但檢察官認為他因受傷才留在現場,並不是真心懊悔,依酒駕致死罪嫌提起公訴,並交由國民法庭審理。

高雄地院國民法庭開庭時,陳男在庭上聲淚俱下,自承「害死女兒,我也很捨不得,真的很愛女兒,無法原諒自己,希望能再給我機會。」但陳妻當庭開撕陳男面具,稱當初與陳男簽下調解書,只是因為「反正他也賠不出錢」,實質上根本沒有原諒,「我心裡是恨他的!」

國民法官認為,陳男身為人父,非但未盡保護責任,明知要接孩子卻執意大量飲酒,更是將親生骨肉推向極度險境,主觀惡性極重,認為他僅符合自首減刑規定,不適用「情堪憫恕」二次減刑。

酒駕重判 創國民法庭最重紀錄

國民法庭考量陳男有多次酒駕前科且有入監紀錄,另有擔任詐騙集團車手、販毒等前科紀錄,素行顯然不佳,身為人父,毫不在意親生骨肉安全,主觀惡性極重,依酒駕致死罪重判十年八月,國民法庭二〇二三年實施以來,酒駕致死部分國民法官共做出三十三件判決,其中陳男判刑十年八月,為國民法庭針對酒駕致死單一罪行量刑最重一例。

王芷儀前往德瑞奧 累積林業專業知識

前往德瑞奧見習的台大森林系學生王芷儀提到,自高中接觸德文起,便對歐洲的文化與社會產生興趣,大學後更希望了解歐洲在永續林業、綠建築及環境治理上的實際做法。透過拜訪不同單位、實地觀察,並與各領域工作者交流,不僅累積專業知識,也提升溝通、獨立應變的能力。

王芷儀認為,出國前較著重觀察國外「做得好的地方」,回國後會開始思考如何依照台灣的環境、制度與社會需求轉化,而非直接複製經驗。該計畫不只提供出國擴展視野的機會,更能藉此探索興趣、釐清自身長處,突破家庭經濟或既有資源的限制,讓國際學習不再只屬於少數人。

曼達尼秀中文還會捲舌 設下政治宣傳高標準
NEWS link
紐約市長曼達尼近期在社群媒體上傳一段宣傳紐約高中生有機會免費欣賞百老匯音樂劇的中文談話。這段錄影被許多講華語和學習者評為字正腔圓,還會捲舌,在各平台吸引數百萬點閱及討論熱潮。

為宣傳紐約市府向當地高中生送出2000張免費百老匯門票抽籤活動,曼達尼(Zohran Mamdani)錄製英文與中文兩段宣傳談話,其中40秒的中文片段大獲好評。

請繼續往下閱讀...

他說:「你好,我的名字是曼達尼,我不知道中文,可是我想試一下。」

曼達尼操著非華語為母語者的聲調,但咬字、發音、四聲、斷句清晰,他緩慢說道,「紐約市政府將免費送出2000多張百老匯演出門票,請於8月17日之前訪問以下網站,瞭解如何參加抽籤;你還可以免費獲得戲院發展基金為期2個月的會員資格,享受百老匯演出的折扣。演出現場見。」

大批網友留言「中文真好」、「字正腔圓」,也吸引政壇人士以英文留言。

前白宮副國家安全顧問羅茲(Ben Rhodes)在X寫道,第一份政治工作是參與布魯克林市政會議選舉,曾寫信給公共住宅的華裔居民,當時必須翻成中文。曼達尼算是新世代政治人物接觸民眾的新標準了。

長期報導中國事務、操流利中文的記者貝書穎(Bethany Allen-Ebrahimian)在X貼文表示,從語言角度來看太優秀了,「他的發音怎麼做到的,真的是初學者嗎」?她表示,許多人學中文但聲調永遠達不到這種程度,「他的發音驚人的好,捲舌都沒問題」。

曼達尼秀中文吸引大批網友朝聖。有影音專業網友分析全段有10次剪輯痕跡,有人懷疑是AI創作,也有人質疑聲調與發音經過修飾。

為爭取紐約市跨族裔選民支持,長於社群媒體短影片的曼達尼,競選期間曾製作中文及廣東話影片,以接觸紐約各區華埠民眾。

他上任後首次全程講中文,在Instagram、X、臉書等平台上吸引數百萬點閱與數萬人評論。(編輯:何宏儒)1150817

LLB次青少棒》突破僵局制鏖戰10局沒能逆轉 台灣代表無緣5連霸
NEWS link
〔記者林宥辰/綜合報導〕第44屆世界少棒聯盟(LLB)次青少棒(13-14歲)世界賽(JLBWS),台灣代表桃園新明國中先取得亞太區代表權,一路過關斬將,冠軍戰面對美西代表(加州拉米拉達)。雙方鏖戰10局才分勝負,台灣隊3度追平,10局上遭對方擊出3分砲,終場3:6落敗。

台灣代表在LLB次青少棒此前完成4連冠,其中新明國中兩度奪冠,今挑戰5連冠和學校5年來第3冠,新明國中以國際組冠軍之姿挑戰美西代表,最終沒能拿下冠軍。

請繼續往下閱讀...

首局,台灣代表隊先發投手馬天恩被擊出1安打、無失分。1局下,台灣隊靠著保送、對方失誤,加上許永泰盜壘成功,1出局後攻占二三壘,但美西隊先發投手Adam Brewer臨危不亂,連投2三振化解危機。

台灣隊連兩個半局首位打者靠保送上壘,趙奕傑短打成功,但Adam Brewer再送1K,加上三壘手美技守備,台灣隊再次無功而返。

前兩局封鎖對手的馬天恩,3局上2出局後被敲安、投出保送,一二壘危機下面對前段棒次,三壘手廖宣澔關鍵守備,擋下美西隊進攻。

台灣隊3局下2出局再次獲保送,邱唯喆擊出團隊首安,美西隊喊暫停後,投手Adam Brewer自行守備美技解圍。化解完危機,Adam Brewer隨即在4局上開轟,美西隊1分領先。

4局下,台灣隊靠著對方失誤,首位打者許永泰上壘,台灣隊再次短打成功,美西隊發生暴投,2出局三壘有人,陳恩宇靠腳程拚出內野安打,台灣隊追平比數。廖宣澔在5局下2出局敲安,但沒能再添分數。

6局上,馬天恩在1出局後被敲連續2支安打,2出局一三壘有人之下,面對首棒Ryder Ong之前,台灣隊決定換投,馬天恩與一壘手松以勒對調。換投後,Ryder Ong纏鬥之後擊出中外野安打,美西隊再次領先。松以勒接著投出保送,被迫在滿壘面對開轟過的Adam Brewer,這次被擊出飛球出局,未讓傷害擴大。

Adam Brewer完成6局投球、僅失1分。7局上,中外野手趙子恩美技沒收Jerimiah Ortega可能形成的全壘打球,台灣隊內野再策動雙殺,帶著僅1分落後力拚7局下。

7局下,前個半局差點開轟的Jerimiah Ortega接替投球,台灣隊首位打者馬天恩內野安打上壘,許永泰選到保送。松以勒執行短打點成飛球,但對方發生失誤,無人出局滿壘,余家睿內野飛球出局,陳恩宇打擊時,美西隊發生暴投,讓台灣隊追平。2出局後,台灣隊沒能出現安打,雙方進入突破僵局制。

延長賽8局上,松以勒連續製造滾地球化解該半局;8局下,僅需1分就可向對手說再見的台灣隊,趙子恩界外飛球造成1出局。廖宣澔打擊時,美西隊又發生暴投,但強迫取分戰術失敗,三壘跑者遭夾殺出局,廖宣澔後續也遭三振。

9局上,美西隊短打成功造成1出局三壘有人,此前曾有安打的Nathan Dawlin高飛犧牲打,美西隊再次領先1分。9局下,台灣隊短打推進,Jerimiah Ortega再次暴投,台灣隊兵不血刃追平。

10局上,台灣隊主動換投,許永泰自游擊區轉擔任投手,移防游擊區的馬天恩發生失誤,形成一三壘有人,美西隊Jayden Valdez接著擊出3分打點全壘打。3分落後下,台灣隊沒能添分數。

2030年實施地方民代「任一性別」1/3保障名額 中市這兩選區壓力爆表
NEWS link
台中市議會從第六屆開始,實施保障任一性別,三人以上選區不可全部都是單一性別。(記者蘇金鳳攝)

台中市年底要進行第5屆市議員改選,立法院2025年11月21日三讀通過「地方制度法」修正案,將第33條地方民意代表選舉的性別保障名額,從原本的「保障婦女」,改為「保障任一性別」且3人應有1人,2030年(第6屆)開始實施,以台中市本屆議員而言,第1選區及第10選區都是男性市議員,即使第5屆全部連任,但第6屆若有女性參選,這兩選區一定會各有1位男性落選,讓他們相當頭痛。

台中市第一選區為大甲大安外埔,現任市議員為國民黨的楊啟邦、李文傑,民進現任市議員為施志昌3人,民進黨另提新人吳中源。第10選區也就是中西區的現任市議員為民進黨的江肇國、黃守達,國民黨是張彥彤,這兩區都是應選3席,皆都是男性參選人。

請繼續往下閱讀...

過去地制法的「保障婦女」在此次修法改為「保障任一性別」,保障比例從每4人應有1人,提高為每3人應有1人,在第六屆開始實施,今年底是進行第五屆改選,也就是從下下屆開始實施。

因為台中市會從第6屆議員改選時開始實施「保障任一性別」,屆時除非是第一選區及第十選區沒有任何女性參選人,否則現任的男性議員們,不只要第5屆要連任成功,還要強化自己的基層力量,要讓自己排在前二名,否則就會有落選的壓力,不然,就要另覓他途,改參選立委。

因此,藍綠政黨為了勝選,可能會增提一名女性,而這兩區市議員,屆時除了黨內提名會增提女性的壓力,還更要讓自己排名往前衝,競爭可想相當激烈;目前,已有女性獨立參選人想要在參選今年第五屆的中西區市議員選舉,更讓現任中西區市議員面臨極大壓力。

「不副署」藍白未來帳戶條例 行政院今攤牌
NEWS link
立法院7月24日三讀通過藍白的「台灣兒少成長及未來帳戶條例」,行政院8月7日收到立法院「台灣兒少成長及未來帳戶條例」三讀函文,依法須在今(17)日前決定因應作為。(資料照)

立法院7月24日三讀通過藍白的「台灣兒少成長及未來帳戶條例」,行政院8月7日收到立法院「台灣兒少成長及未來帳戶條例」三讀函文,依法須在今(17)日前決定因應作為,據了解,行政院已規畫「成長津貼」,並多次對外表示,「會按照既定的政策規劃」,院長卓榮泰14日也重申,「不希望其中任何一項會被改變」,今天可望正式拍板該條例「不副署」。

賴總統在就職2週年之際,宣布「台灣人口對策新戰略—家庭支持篇」18項措施,涵蓋「生育、養育、教育」三大階段,做為政府重要施政之一,其中包括0至18歲每人每月5000元的成長津貼。據悉,政院當時擔心法案送進立院,會遭朝野杯葛或任意加碼,讓政策難以執行,因此以不修法與不另立專法,僅作業要點方式處理。不過,藍台仍通過「台灣兒少成長及未來帳戶條例」。

請繼續往下閱讀...

行政院擔心今年度總預算橫生變數,在三讀前遲不願鬆口,卓榮泰14日出席行政院親子日活動時,媒體詢問是否不副署「台灣兒少成長及未來帳戶條例」,他未並正面回應,不過,他在致詞時強調,堅持「台灣人口對策新戰略」五套面向,「不希望其中任何一項會被改變」。

對於立法院長韓國瑜在今年度總預算三讀後,喊話卓揆副署、執行立法院三讀通過的法案,對此,行政院則重申,不論是法案的覆議或副署,都是憲法賦予行政院的憲法權限,行政院也一向恪遵憲法精神,從來沒有濫用憲法權限的情事,每一次覆議或不予副署,都是因為立法院逾越憲政份際,而行政院必須守護憲政體制所採取的被動作為。

越航起飛撞擊!台灣乘客曝光第一視角 網驚:很多空難都是這開頭......
NEWS link
有台灣乘客曝光機上第一視角,可以看到飛機在空中洩油準備迫降。(Threads:@chipmunk.9232235)

越南航空(Vietnam Airlines)15日一架從德國慕尼黑飛往越南河內的班機,在起飛時發生嚴重的技術性飛行事故,所幸最終安全迫降,機上乘客與機組人員均安。事後有台灣乘客曝光機上第一視角,引發熱烈討論,大批網友直呼原PO真的是差點踏進鬼門關!

越航VN34航班(機型:波音787-9夢幻客機)上週六在慕尼黑機場(MUC)跑道起飛時,疑似拉起仰角過晚,導致機尾嚴重觸地擦傷,甚至衝出跑道末端綠化帶,揚起大片塵土,左側主起落架亦疑似撞擊地面導航設備(ILS)。

請繼續往下閱讀...

飛機勉強升空後,機組發現輪胎壓力與系統異常,且無法正常收回起落架,通報地面後,在高空盤旋了約2小時進行洩油與耗油,以降低機身重量達到安全降落標準,最終折返慕尼黑機場硬著陸時,左側主起落架爆裂並冒出大量濃煙,多條輪胎損毀,還好最後還是安全停在滑行道上。

官方確認,機上所有乘客和機組人員均安全撤離,無人受傷。德國飛安調查機構與越南航空已針對此起嚴重事件展開調查,釐清是操作失誤、設定速度錯誤或飛機本身機件故障。

週日(16日),一位台灣乘客在Threads上分享機上第一視角畫面,可以看到飛機在跑道上震了很大一下,並發出撞擊的聲音,但機上乘客第一時間並不知道發生什麼事,原PO也坦言自己當時狀況外,一上機就睡覺,反倒是兒子將過程拍了下來,事後告訴她起飛時就撞到了。另外一段畫面則能看到飛機在空中洩油,此外還有飛機輪胎爆胎、地面人員整裝待命、機上乘客撤離等畫面。

相關影像曝光後隨即掀起熱議,「其實是差點沒飛起來,慶幸你們渡過死劫」、「誠實的告訴你,你們這台真的福氣,很多不幸運的案例都是這個開場,然後沒拉起來就掰掰了」、「超過60秒沒離地真的就要準備了……」、「差點拉不起來變成世界頭條,真的命大。起飛滑的時間是一般的兩倍吧。加上那一聲碰撞,有在搭飛機的都知道完了」、「身在航空業,看了真的起雞皮疙瘩」、「真的是很走運,用完整條跑道極限起飛,還好只有機尾擦地,還能平安降落,真的是福大命大」、「這個真的跟死神擦身而過……」

健康網》植物肉「植物做的」不等於健康! 醫揭3大挑選重點
NEWS link
醫師戴曉芙表示,植物肉雖以植物蛋白製成,但市售產品可能添加較多鹽、調味料及油脂,不能直接視為健康食品;圖為情境照。(圖取自freepik)

〔健康頻道/綜合報導〕隨著全球蔬食人口增加,植物肉常被認為「植物做的就比較健康」!然而,桃園文新診所院長戴曉芙引述研究指出,植物肉不等於天然健康食品,市售產品差異很大,有些為了模擬肉類口感與風味,可能加入較多鹽、調味料。她建議挑選時有3大原則,包括最好先看鈉含量、飽和脂肪及成分表。

戴曉芙在粉絲專頁「Dr.戴曉芙丨耳鼻喉 x 生活醫學觀察所」發文分享,很多民眾覺得植物肉比真肉更健康,原因在於植物肉直覺認為是植物做的,應該比真肉健康,不過,答案卻是不一定。

請繼續往下閱讀...

研究發現,用植物肉取代一般肉類,短期內可能讓總膽固醇和壞膽固醇下降一點。主要原因可能是部分植物肉的飽和脂肪較少,也含有一些膳食纖維。

植物來源不等於低鈉低脂

戴曉芙解釋,植物肉通常是用大豆、豌豆等植物蛋白製成,再加入油脂、調味料和其他成分,做出接近肉類的味道與口感。它的原料來自植物,但不代表它和豆腐、毛豆一樣天然。如果只看到包裝上寫著「植物來源」就放心天天吃,可能會吃進不少鈉和加工成分。

戴曉芙說明,購買植物肉時,不要只看包裝上的「植物來源」或「植物蛋白」等字樣,而應該直接翻到背面的營養標示及成分表,先確認3個重點,包括鈉含量是否過高、飽和脂肪有多少,以及成分表是否過於冗長。

她進一步提醒,如果是拿植物肉取代香腸、培根、熱狗或高脂絞肉,可能是不錯的選擇,如果目的是增加植物蛋白,豆腐、豆干、毛豆和無糖豆漿通常加工較少,價格也可能更親民,不一定非得選植物肉。

戴曉芙總結,植物肉可以吃,但民眾切勿將其當成健康食品,真正需要比較的是它取代了什麼,以及產品裡實際放了什麼。

國美館「福爾摩沙藝術進駐」特展 台法交流從皮卡丘找靈感

國立台灣美術館舉辦「福爾摩沙藝術進駐(Villa Formose)」展,館方與法國在台協會合作辦理第三屆展覽,邀請丹尼洛.路維希(Danilo Lovisi)駐館與台籍藝術人士交流,路維希進入國美館庫房思考「直覺策展」(intuitive curating)方法,台法藝術家交流,從皮卡丘玩偶意識到童年物件與黃色喜愛間存在情感連結。

國美館「2026福爾摩沙藝術進駐」展邀策展人路維希,於7月13日至8月13日期間進駐,包括林智信「蘭嶼情侶」、席德進「海邊一角(蘭嶼)」持續於館內展出,路維希分享駐館期間拜訪台灣藝文機構、專家學者,及舉辦「視覺配對與物件敘事工作坊」與民眾互動經驗。

請繼續往下閱讀...

路維希說,駐館期間與我國藝術家吳瑪俐交流,也參訪國立台灣史前文化博物館,面對史前文物與當代生活可能產生連結,他認為在城市收集日常物件被視為「預防性考古學」(preventive archaeology),透過重新觀看貌似平凡都市碎片,思考物件承載生活痕跡與記憶。

特展引導民眾建構「視覺叢集」(visual constellations),路維希強調,其中一名參與者帶來祖父贈送皮卡丘玩偶,並在視覺配對重新意識到物件與長久以來喜愛黃色,存在情感連結,透過微小個人故事,將私人記憶轉化為分享藝術經驗。

國美館說,路維希駐館期間展出台灣、法國與巴西街頭現成物,展現與在地藝術緊密連結,將持續透過國際駐館計畫,深化與中台灣民眾交流,提升台灣藝術於國際舞台影響力。

美進口車商發起「拒絕中國車」!憂市場遭吞噬促立法封殺
NEWS link
中國汽車進軍海外的速度驚人,今年出口量很可能首次突破1000萬輛;若成真,中國車的銷售量在5年內成長約5倍之多。(法新社檔案照)

代表美國9400多家進口車經銷商的「美國國際汽車經銷商協會」(AIADA),本月初發起一項名為「拒絕中國車」(No China Autos)的運動,以主席達羅(Mike Darrow)名義發表聲明,指控美國汽車業與憑藉大量政府補貼供應大量低價產品的中國汽車,進行不公平競爭,導致收益惡化,本土就業機會減少。

AIADA主張,豐田、現代、福斯等外國汽車在美國設立生產、研發設施,創造就業並成為當地產業的一部分,「中國車卻不同,它們試圖掌控整個美國市場。」AIADA將參與推動立法,以永久禁止中國汽車與汽車製造商進入美國市場。

請繼續往下閱讀...

達羅在其部落格中指出,中國品牌並未效仿來自亞洲與歐洲的其他全球製造商,或是向全球銷售的美國製造商的作法,他們的目標是徹底主導整個產業,所使用的正是在消費性電子產品、家電、太陽能板與玩具等其他產業早已出現的相同劇本。除了產業主導權之外,中國對美國消費者的興趣,更構成國家安全威脅,「現在正是採取行動的時候。」

南韓「朝鮮日報」報導,美國對中國製汽車徵收的基本關稅率為27.5%,對電動車加徵100%的關稅。此外,美國國會還推動立法,禁止中資持股超過15%的企業,透過在第3國生產或合資等方式,迂迴進軍美國市場。在此情況下,進口日本、南韓、歐洲汽車在北美地區銷售的經銷商,罕見地發起反中國車運動。

分析指出,在歐洲、澳洲、中南美洲和非洲等地,中國車的威脅已成為現實。中國進軍海外的速度驚人,今年出口量很可能首次突破1000萬輛;若成真,中國車的銷售量在5年內成長約5倍之多。

在歐洲市場,比亞迪(BYD)等5家中國車企今年上半年的市佔率達10.9%,超越現代、起亞(7.4%),緊隨豐田等日系車(12%)之後。

中國相對佔有技術優勢的電動車,滲透速度更快。在歐洲電動車市場中,中國車市佔率從2020年的4.2%,升至2025年的20.9%。

中國車的崛起重創傳統車企。一度壟斷中國市場的歐洲車,不僅拱手讓出中國市場,連自家市場也難保。全球第2大的福斯集團正考慮4到5年內裁員近10萬人的方案,與此不無關聯。儘管美國尚未被中國車攻陷,但從歐洲的前車之鑑看來,一旦貿易壁壘鬆動,市場隨時可能被中國車蠶食殆盡。

世界各國已開始著手牽制中國車。歐盟正考慮將對中國製電動車最高徵收35.3%的追加關稅,擴大至插電式油電混合車(PHEV)。今年起,日本按供應網穩定化等對本土產業貢獻度,劃分電動汽車補貼等級,拉大補貼差距。在日本生產的電動汽車,按產量享受抵稅優惠。

報導指出,南韓幾乎沒有抵禦中國車攻勢的應對方案。中國製特斯拉享受南韓政府與自治團體補貼,銷量甚至超越南韓製燃油車。另外,繼比亞迪、極氪(ZEEKR)之後,小鵬(XPeng)等中國電動車也準備進軍南韓市場。今年修訂氣候能源環境部的電動汽車補貼時,曾考慮將對南韓產業貢獻度較低的企業,排除在補貼對象之外,但最終仍比原計畫大幅放寬。在產業通商部推動的國內生產抵稅對象中,電動車也被排除在外。

盛夏狂歡結束算總帳!12星座「誰」在大筆進帳?

〔娛樂頻道/綜合報導〕別嫌處女座龜毛,本週跟著處女座的龜毛腳步走,才不會踩到大坑!

隨著盛夏即將退場,體力面臨「量縮盤整」,整個人感覺好似被換季疲憊深度套牢?星座專家「安德魯的賤聲房」提醒,8/23太陽進處女座碰上「處暑」,世界瞬間開啟嚴格檢驗模式,不僅身體開始出現睡不飽的「秋乏」疲累感,荷包也正面臨考驗,「大環境的氣氛會像從『墾丁狂歡音樂祭』瞬間被強行拉去『廉政署扣押搜索現場』般變得很不一樣。」若能從正面角度切入,其實這段期間不管在職場、情場還是理財方面,都是一個絕佳的「修剪枝葉、收拾殘局、抓出漏洞」的黃金時間點。

請繼續往下閱讀...

本週靠專業與細緻度能迎來正財,跟緊處女座的細心步調,把沒用的開銷砍掉,穩健理財便能在疲憊中守住荷包,化解隱形失血危機。

.感情:單身者身邊其實一直有默默關心你、給你溫暖的人,只是你平常太神經大條、到處蹦跳跑得太快沒發現;有對象的這週適合多待在家,一起煮個晚餐、窩在沙發上看部電影,就能找回久違的溫馨依賴感。

.財運:財運小有進帳,特別是與地產、居家或家族資源相關的領域。賺錢方向適合靠口碑行銷或熟人轉介紹,這種穩紮穩打的錢拿得最安心、最踏實。

【蓄勢待發4星座♉♏♋♒】

♉金牛座

.事業:太陽進入同為土象的處女座,你的靈感與創造力簡直像火山爆發一樣擋都擋不住!隨手丟出來的企劃點子都能讓主管眼睛一亮。但千萬別高興得太早,小心辦公室裡有些平時沒存在感的眼紅小人,正盯著你的小失誤準備捅刀。做事保持低調,等事情徹底落袋為安了再來歡呼,別太早把牌全亮出來!

.感情:單身者的魅力全面開大,很容易在興趣社團、朋友聚會或是娛樂場合遇到讓你腎上腺素飆升的心儀對象;有對象的請趕快安排一場浪漫約會,去高檔餐廳大吃一頓,找回當初剛在一起時那種心跳加速、眼神發光的戀愛感覺,別把日子過的像在上班一樣!

.財運:財運處於醞釀蓄力期,偶爾會有發票中獎或收到免費小禮物的小偏財。賺錢方向適合投資在你真正有興趣的領域,經營副業或發展第二專長,長期看好度直接拉滿!

.健康:喉嚨與呼吸道非常脆弱,天氣再熱也請克制一下冰飲料跟冰棒,不然咳到胸痛你就知道了。

.幸運數字:6, 15, 24

.幸運顏色:珊瑚橘、玫瑰金、鵝黃色

♏天蠍座

.事業:太陽進處女座,把你推向了跨部門合作與對外拓展的前線,這週你就是社交場上的高冷大明星,非常適合拜訪大客戶或拓展人脈圈。要注意的是,工作流程可能隨時面臨「客戶突發奇想變更需求」或「電腦系統集體罷工」的悲劇,隨時備好 Plan B,不然現場崩潰真的會很難看。

.感情:單身者有極大機率「把兄弟/閨蜜變情侶」,多去參加朋友聚會,說不定真愛就坐在你對面吃烤肉;有對象的請給另一半保留一點呼吸空間,別把對方當成需要24小時定位追蹤的嫌疑犯,抓太緊小心人家直接打退堂鼓!

.財運:財運平平,這週社交應酬、送禮飯局的開銷像流水一樣,但請告訴自己:這是為未來鋪路的「投資」。賺錢方向適合透過團隊資源共享,大家一起把餅做大。

.健康:注意泌尿系統保養!工作再忙、會議再長,也絕對不能憋尿,沒事多去洗手間裝水走走,順便偷懶。

.幸運數字:8, 13, 27

.幸運顏色:酒紅色、墨綠色、炭灰色

♋巨蟹座

.事業:本週你的通訊軟體會被各種訊息轟炸,LINE 響個不停、Email 寄到信箱爆滿。最慘的是,主管或客戶的指令可能像四月份的天氣一樣變幻莫測、一日三變。動手做任何事之前,一定要「拍照存證加重複確認」,否則做完才發現白忙一場,你真的會想撞牆。

.感情:單身者在搭車、短程旅行或是線上課程中,很容易遇到能無話不談的有趣靈魂;有對象的這週請收起你的工程師思維!對方跟你抱怨只是想討抱抱跟同理心,不是要你幫他分析和給出解決方案,閉嘴聽著給個抱抱就對了!

.財運:財運全靠「資訊差」,多看看產業新聞或市場趨勢,能讓你發現發財的小商機。賺錢方向適合靠文字創作、線上教學、短期接案或是把家裡沒用的東西二手賣掉。

.健康:肩頸跟手腕已經在發出哀嚎了(沒錯,就是手機滑太多)!工作空閒時多做做拉筋伸展,別年紀輕輕就把自己搞成全身硬邦邦的木乃伊。

.幸運數字:4, 11, 20

.幸運顏色:檸檬黃、雪白色、淺灰藍

♒水瓶座

.事業:本週非常適合處理公司內部的深層大掃除、商業機密或是資源重組。你看問題還是一如既往地毒辣、一針見血,但請記住:現實中講真話是會得罪人的!說話前請在腦袋裡多轉三圈、加個委婉高雅的濾鏡,否則無意間踩爛同事的自尊心,後面被射暗箭的就是你。

.感情:單身者容易被那種眼神帶有滄桑感、充滿神祕的故事型對象吸引,但請睜大你的火眼金睛,先查清楚人家是不是單身,別一時衝動當了破壞別人感情的第三者;有對象的需要敞開心扉,別老是用冷漠或講酸話來掩飾內心的焦慮,溫柔一點不會要你的命。

.財運:偏財運像雲霄飛車一樣起伏不定!涉及股票投資、稅務或合資項目時請收起你的冒險精神,不懂的金融商品千萬別碰。賺錢方向適合花時間清理個人財務漏洞,把沒必要的訂閱服務通通退掉。

.健康:注意免疫力下降與生殖系統保養。別再以為自己是鐵打的每天熬夜到半夜三點,身體一旦反撲,各種煩人的小毛病會讓你生不如死。

.幸運數字:9, 17, 21

.幸運顏色:靛藍色、銀灰色、暗紫色

【萬事留意3星座♎♐♍】

♎天秤座

.事業:這是一段需要你躲在幕後蓄力、默默打磨武器的時期。搶著站上前台只會變成幫別人背鍋的擋箭牌!周圍的人際關係容易炸開八卦傳聞或誤會,請切記「路過的瓜不要吃」,不關你的事情千萬別湊過去當公道伯,小心瓜沒吃到,反而惹了一身腥!

.感情:單身者容易陷入糾結暗戀,或是半夜不睡覺開始翻前任的社群動態,請對著鏡子大聲警告自己:「過去的就讓它過去,別再去垃圾堆裡找寶貝!」;有對象的可能會覺得對方最近像個木頭人不夠懂你,心事別憋在心裡讓人猜,直接講出來大家都省事。

.財運:財運相當沉悶,甚至會有突然其來的隱形失血(例如家電壞掉要修、突然要包大紅包)。目前絕對不適合盲目投資或開辦新項目,先守好現有的積蓄、把卡債付清才是保命上策。

.健康:睡眠品質堪憂,晚上容易做各種荒謬的怪夢。睡前一小時請遠離電子產品,泡個腳或聽舒緩音樂,別把白天的大腦垃圾通通帶到床上。

.幸運數字:2, 10, 23

.幸運顏色:霧粉色、淺駝色、鼠尾草綠

♐射手座

.事業:本週全場的鎂光燈幾乎都打在你身上,這是展現你才華的黃金時刻!但射手座最大的毛病就是「大話先說出口,後面發現根本做不到」。這週你極度容易一時衝動接下超大案子,結果發現自己時間根本不夠用,搞到最後爛尾留下不好的臭名。量力而為,做不到的請微笑着誠實拒絕。

.感情:單身者容易在職場上遇到崇拜你的桃花,但要分清楚人家是崇拜你的工作能力,還是真的想跟你談戀愛,別自己加太多戲;有對象的容易把工作上的燥熱脾氣帶回家發洩,另一半不是你的情緒垃圾桶,對待最親密的人請多一點耐心與溫柔。

.財運:名氣能幫你帶來不錯的正財運,但你手滑衝動消費的指數也是全12星座第一!看到限時折扣或精緻小垃圾就想刷卡。賺錢方向適合打造個人權威品牌,用高專業度換取高價合約,而不是靠接一堆零工累死自己。

.健康:肝臟與皮膚都在發出抗議!少吃宵夜、少喝酒、少熬夜,別再虐待自己的身體了!

.幸運數字:7, 12, 29

.幸運顏色:芥末黃、丹寧藍、純白色

♍處女座

.事業:太陽回歸本命宮,你的能量與主場氣勢直接補滿!但這週在大環境上容易遇到合作方資金到位延遲、或是廠商資源卡關的坑爹狀況。做事請務必給自己留條退路,別把話說得太死,按部就班推進,遇到變故才不會自己把自己逼崩潰。

.感情:單身者氣場太強,身上散發著一種「老子/老娘一個人活得精緻無比,根本不需要任何人類加入」的高冷距離感,桃花想靠近都被你嚇跑;有對象的這週強迫症大爆發,特別容易挑剔對方的生活習慣(牙膏擠中間、衣服沒疊好),多看對方的優點,少抓無關緊要的小毛病,婚姻與感情才能長久!

.財運:財運起伏劇烈,屬於「進得快、出得更快」的狀態,很容易為了提升生活品質或獎勵自己生日而大砸重金買奢侈品。賺錢方向是發揮你的嚴謹分析能力,幫公司或自己在營運上做精準的成本控管,省下來的就是賺到的!

.健康:腸胃極度敏感,脹氣、胃食道逆流或消化不良很容易找上門。飲食請務必定時定量,再忙也別亂吃垃圾食物填肚子。

.幸運數字:5, 16, 27

.幸運顏色:森林綠、奶油白、大地棕

自由日日Shoot》直指卓揆遭凍薪違憲 前大法官黃虹霞:立院不能變「太上憲法」
NEWS link
藍白強勢凍結行政院長卓榮泰九月至十二月薪資,前大法官黃虹霞受訪表示,此舉已違憲,並強調立法院不能超越憲法,變成「太上憲法」。(資料照)

立法院日前通過一一五年度中央政府總預算案,藍白強勢凍結行政院長卓榮泰九月至十二月薪資,不當黨產處理委員會政務人員待遇二六二.九萬元全數減列,引發違憲爭議。前大法官黃虹霞受訪表示,立院雖有預算審議權,但不能藉此懲罰特定公務人員,否則恐超越預算權範圍、侵害行政權及權力分立,她認為此舉已違憲,並強調立法院不能超越憲法,變成「太上憲法」。

黃虹霞指出,法律保障薪資背後涉及人民生存權,一般勞工不可能工作卻不領薪水;即使國家因特殊情況需要調整公務員待遇,也應有法律依據及相關程序,而非透過預算將薪資歸零。

請繼續往下閱讀...

藉預算權懲罰特定人 恐違反權力分立

「預算法有說能把行政院長薪水凍結不給嗎?有說能把特定人員薪水全砍掉嗎?沒有!」黃虹霞認為,立法院可針對浪費、不必要支出合理刪減,若藉由預算權直接凍結特定人的薪資,已不是單純監督政府支出。

黃虹霞也說,副署與否涉及行政院長依憲法行使職權,政治上誰對誰錯可接受民主政治檢驗,但不能因立院不滿行政院長行使職權,就利用預算權凍結薪資。

黃虹霞直言,若立院以掌握預算為由,要求行政權甚至其他憲政機關都必須聽命,「那就等於超越憲法,變成『太上憲法』,連憲法都不用遵守」,違反權力分立原則。

黃虹霞認為,行政院長及黨產會政務人員薪資的刪凍措施,已有超越預算權、侵害行政權的疑慮,若進入憲法法庭審理,將涉及立法院預算審議權與行政權核心領域的界線,「若我是審理的大法官,我會投違憲一票!」

新世代法式美學油電車各擅勝場 Peugeot 3008動感跑旅釋放熱血 Citroen C5 Aircross主打舒適移動

以仿生設計語彙打造的動感面容是Peugeot 3008外型特徵所在。(記者鄭世樺攝)

相較於日系的務實及德系的豪氣,法國汽車品牌向來以獨特設計美學自成一格,隸屬於Stellantis集團的Peugeot及Citroen更是法系經典代表,雙品牌旗下3008、C5 Aircross兩款主力休旅新車雖共享集團資源,採用了相同的STLA Medium底盤結構及最新P2 Hybrid油電動力系統,但在不同調性的設計理念之下,仍展現出各自截然不同的駕馭性格,實際上路更能深刻感受到兩款車型的魅力。

這次試駕的Peugeot 3008、Citroen C5 Aircross皆搭載全新進化版1.2升P2 Hybrid油電混合動力系統,有別於僅提供動力輔助的傳統48V輕油電系統,P2 Hybrid能在時速30公里內實現短距離純電行駛,或在中高速巡航或滑行時自動切換為純電模式,兼顧性能及節能表現,並特別針對引擎、雙離合器變速箱及48V電池組進行整合改良,搭配逆變器及變速箱閥體升級,儘管仍維持145匹、23.5公斤米的綜效輸出不變,卻能讓油電切換與動力傳遞變得更加平順自然。

這套動力系統放在擁有帥氣仿生面容的「飛獅背跑旅」Peugeot 3008身上,透過紮實底盤的路感回饋,以及小盤徑方向盤所帶來的精準指向性,造就出不像是一般休旅車的俐落身手,搭配車內極具科技感的Panoramic i-Cockpit全景座艙鋪陳,營造獨樹一幟的駕馭感受。值得特別一提的是,3008採用的AGR人體工學跑車座椅,不論包覆性或支撐度都相當出色,對於整體操控感更是加分。

Peugeot 3008的i-Cockpit數位座艙採用21吋一體式曲面螢幕強化科技感。

Peugeot 3008的車載系統支援無線Apple CarPlay、Android Auto,展現科技便利性。

不同於主打運動化風格的Peugeot 3008,Citroen C5 Aircross則在維持順暢動力輸出的同時,透過Citroen招牌的PHC魔毯液壓懸吊系統,將行經路面坑洞時令人不適的路面碎震彈跳化解於無形,再搭配有如沙發般的Advanced Comfort減震座椅,皆帶來格外平順穩定的行路質感與乘坐體驗,完美傳達「舒適主義至上」的家庭取向休旅定位。此外,C5 Aircross後廂具備651公升的基本置物容積,可滿足一家大小出遊或日常使用的載物需求。

Citroen C5 Aircross具備651公升後廂基本容積,打平後椅背還可擴充至1,985公升。

Peugeot、Citroen台灣總代理寶嘉聯合同時推出8月限時購車禮遇,即日起自8月31日前完成領牌,即可享全車系5年/15萬公里原廠延長保固;指定車型再享低月付購車方案、優惠升級乙式車體險或配件升級禮遇,包含整合式電子後視鏡附行車記錄器或PROFILM全車隔熱紙,從購車方案、用車保障到日常配備全面升級。

2025所得收入按年齡分

〔記者鄭琪芳/台北報導〕主計總處調查,去年所得收入者平均年所得七十六.三九萬元、持續改寫歷史新高,且各年齡層所得收入均創新高,其中未滿三十歲平均所得五十八.七七萬元,換算平均月入約四.九萬元。主計總處官員表示,去年經濟持續成長、失業率下降,加上最低工資調高,帶動國人所得收入續創新高。

經濟成長加最低工資調高帶動

教部再推圓夢助力方案 優先保障弱勢青年
NEWS link
教育部推動「青年百億海外圓夢計畫」,邁入第2年,總報名破萬人,錄取人數也翻倍成長。(教育部提供)

教育部推動「青年百億海外圓夢基金計畫」第一年成效良好,今年除了「築夢工場組」及「海外翱翔組」之外,再推出「圓夢助力方案」,優先保障原住民、偏鄉、經濟弱勢及特殊境遇青年參與,透過成長營採「以訓代審」方式提供三百個名額,弱勢青年參與比率已由二〇二五年的七.二%提升至二〇二六年的十三.三%。

以訓代審 提供300個名額

此外,教育部將持續擴大海外合作資源,明年交流主題將由十大類擴增至十九大類,新增歷史文化、藝術交流、數位應用、生物醫學等領域;今年海外翱翔組則以專業職能培訓、新創團隊及職能培力,以及青年地方創生及社區機構三大主題最受青年歡迎。

請繼續往下閱讀...

青年百億海外圓夢基金計畫分為「築夢工場組」及「海外翱翔組」,前者鼓勵十五至三十歲青年自主提案,每案最高補助二百萬元;後者由各部會及民間合作,提供國際組織、智庫、新創團隊、地方創生及專業職能培訓等十大主題見習,每人最高補助一百五十萬元。

近日加拿大合作見習案因當地合作學校及政策調整取消,引發外界關注。教育部青年署科長陳志豪表示,加拿大案屬不可抗力因素,不能歸責於教育部或青年,教育部除協助青年已支出必要費用外,也提供專案生活補助。

不過,台灣推動青年國際交流仍獲友好國家支持。陳志豪表示,法國在台協會自去年起與教育部合作推動青年海外圓夢計畫,涵蓋航空、動畫、公共事務、創業基地、資安、廚藝及白晝之夜等領域,去年及今年共合作十項計畫,支持一一六名台灣青年赴法交流,展現台法青年交流成果。

藍白大砍文化部預算 藝文界喊:選票修理
NEWS link
文化部預算被刪凍逾十三億元,引發藝文界憤慨,文化部長李遠表示,用報復及羞辱的方式「全刪」,「這顯露的是對於文化工作的不理解及輕視。」(資料照)

李遠:用報復及羞辱式「全刪」 顯露對文化工作的輕視

立法院三讀通過今年度中央政府總預算案,文化部二九六億元預算總計被刪凍逾十三億元,引發藝文界憤慨。全民大劇團團長謝念祖疾呼「用選票修理他」;表演藝術聯盟理事長林佳鋒認為,文化可以被監督,但不能被犧牲;文化部長李遠表示,用報復及羞辱的方式「全刪」,「這顯露的是對於文化工作的不理解及輕視。」

請繼續往下閱讀...

林佳鋒:文化可以被監督 但不能被犧牲

謝念祖在臉書貼文提到,去年大罷免,「對立委來說,被罷免是政治生涯要被斷根。現在人挺過來了,看到當初想弄死自己的人,哪可能不記仇?問題是,拿整個國家的文化預算來洩憤、算私人恩怨,這我完全吞不下去。」謝認為,文化圈真的不用去巴結特定政黨,但在「文化」這條底線上,「我們能不能統一步調?誰支持文化,不分藍綠白,我們就挺;誰敢搞文化,一樣不分黨派,我們就用選票修理他。」

林佳鋒則表示,「當政府依照法定程序提出預算,民間也依照政府政策開始投入、簽約、製作,甚至已經執行超過一半之後,國會在年度已經過了三分之二的此刻,大幅刪除或凍結相關預算,最後承擔風險的人究竟是誰?」「是第一線的文化工作者。這也是我們最不能接受的地方。」

已投入製作預算竟被刪 變成要承擔風險

林佳鋒強調,如果每一年文化政策都必須隨著政治攻防重新開始,台灣永遠很難建立真正具有國際競爭力的文化產業。「我們今天守的,不只是二九六億元的文化預算,是台灣下一個十年、廿年,還能不能繼續長出自己的故事、自己的作品、自己的文化,以及我們在世界上說自己故事的能力。」

文化部今年預算被刪凍超過十三億元。其中,媒宣費四七三八萬元全數刪除,公視預算刪減二一八五萬元,Taiwan Plus經費也被砍二億元,國民黨立委翁曉玲昨天嗆,李遠若認為二八〇億元經費很難做事,那就早點離開。

李遠:媒宣費是讓台灣文化走向國際關鍵

對此,李遠回應,所有預算當然應該接受合理的監督與刪凍,但不可以用報復及羞辱的方式「全刪」,「這顯露的是對於文化工作的不理解及輕視。」媒宣費是讓台灣文化走向國際的關鍵及最後一哩路,很遺憾在教文會耗費多時討論才獲朝野共識的凍結八百萬元後,卻又全數刪減。

文化部舉例,以文化幣、黃牛政策為例,雖然文化部努力透過記者會、新聞稿、社群等進行訊息發布,但是遍及二百萬使用者及眾多粉絲權益的訊息,在現今資訊爆炸的時代,就必須透過更多元的短影音、增加社群觸及等方式行銷。

文化部指出,還有文化部支持民間舉辦各項國際藝術節慶,以及參與國際文化活動或交流的宣傳,如果沒有足夠的宣傳讓民眾、讓世界看見,浪費的是許多文化工作者的努力及心血,也讓許多人權益因此受損。

IG假好友騙手機驗證碼 近2百名學生 淪「遊戲提款機」
NEWS link
刑事局呼籲,驗證碼等同於「付款授權」,絕對不可以提供給他人。(記者姚岳宏翻攝)

僅因在IG上借出一組驗證碼,帳單竟莫名暴增四〇七八元!南部一名國中生誤信IG「假好友」求援,交出手機驗證碼,隨即慘遭盜刷,刑事警察局清查,近三個月爆發一八八件類似的電信小額付款詐騙,被害人清一色是學生,詐團誆稱手機被鎖,騙取驗證碼後全拿去買PlayStation高價遊戲會員。

小額付款詐騙 金額都是四〇七八元

刑事局分析,被害人以國中生占卅五%最多,高中生卅%居次,大學生及小學生分別占廿五%與十%,詐團刻意創立與被害人真實好友僅差一個字元的假帳號,誆稱遇到緊急狀況,急需借用手機號碼接收簡訊,學生們未察覺異狀,依指示提供門號及驗證碼,隨即收到四〇七八元的小額付款通知。

請繼續往下閱讀...

詐團拿去買PS遊戲會員 再跨國銷贓

警方比對交易明細,找出扣款總是「四〇七八元」的原因,這些錢全數流向Sony旗下的遊戲平台PlayStation,金額正好是PS Plus高級會員十二個月方案的價格,這組虛擬數字序號一旦開通,就能供全球用戶使用,跨國銷贓極為容易,導致被害人幾乎求償無門。

刑事局呼籲,驗證碼等同於「付款授權」,絕對不可以提供給他人;家長務必定期檢視孩子手機的消費額度,必要時可直接向電信業者申請關閉小額付款功能;若收到不明扣款通知,應立即報警並聯繫電信公司,警方也要求電信業者盡速研擬防制對策,共同降低被害風險;若遇可疑狀況,請隨時撥打一六五反詐騙專線求證。

百工百業首場後援會成立》沈伯洋:內湖區民塞車「塞掉人生」

九合一選舉倒數一〇三天,民進黨籍台北市長參選人沈伯洋百工百業首場後援會昨天在大直典華登場,「台北市牙醫師沈伯洋後援會」同時成立。牙醫師出身、選過台北市長的行政院政務委員陳時中批評現任市長蔣萬安執政四年沒政績,用輝達落腳台北「往自己臉上貼金」;沈伯洋也稱,內湖區民塞車塞了十年,「塞掉人生」。北市府反指沈「選舉到了才來消費內湖」,另提醒陳四年前選舉「應該要放下了」。

陳時中站台批蔣四年無政績

陳時中表示,沈伯洋參選以來,每次出來講話就是有料,反觀現任市長四年來有何政績?蔣會說最大政績是輝達落腳台北,但實際上是輝達選擇台北,蔣「往自己臉上貼金」。

請繼續往下閱讀...

蕭美琴:沈有能力引領台灣開創新局

副總統蕭美琴致詞表示,施政過程中,地方不卡住很重要,首都市長應有四大特質,包括願意承擔並解決問題、溫暖的陪伴者、市政溝通者,以及具有前瞻性、開創性、國際性,沈伯洋都具備,有能力為台北進行體質大改造,引領台灣開創新局。

「宜蘭女婿」蔣萬安十五日赴宜蘭輔選,卻因塞車大遲到,沈伯洋提到,蔣這次可能只是因塞車遲到一個活動,但對往返內湖的市民來說,「塞車塞了十年,塞掉他們的人生。」此外,對於台東縣長饒慶鈴預錄影片參與海峽論壇,經調查後不予處分,蔣萬安指稱「難道賣鳳梨釋迦就變成賣台嗎?」沈伯洋直言,「此事從頭到尾都跟鳳梨釋迦無關,蔣萬安太喜歡造謠,造謠很不可取!」

立委王世堅昨天則在「看見台北未來大師論壇」表示,問蔣萬安市政問題、如何改進,就像去看醫生問身體狀況,「蔣醫師」只會說「心臟還在跳!」

北市府批沈 選舉到了才來消費內湖

台北市政府副發言人葉向媛說,沈委員又來洗記憶,認知作戰大師把人民當笨蛋?從疫苗到現在毒油案,民進黨政府硬拗、護航、包庇,請沈委員不要再躲避回答,「您真是太喜歡造謠了,造謠真的很不可取」原話奉還。擔任立委期間又為「內湖交通」做過什麼?選舉到了才來消費內湖;另也「善意提醒」陳時中,四年前的那場選舉早就結束,應該要放下了,請直接面對中央政府處理毒油問題的失職與無能。

自由開講》AI發言人,還是AI馬屁文化?
NEWS link
◎ 郭索

中國國民黨近日推出以鄭麗文為概念打造的AI發言人「鄭小文」,宣稱將透過AI工具,以多元形式在各社群平台回應時事、宣揚政黨理念。從貼文內容來看,這個角色定位並非一般客服或資訊查詢系統,而是作為政黨宣傳與對外發聲的虛擬代言人。

國民黨近日推出以鄭麗文為概念打造的AI發言人「鄭小文」。(取自中國國民黨臉書)

若只是運用生成式AI製作圖像、影片或文案,本身並非問題,世界各國政黨也都開始嘗試AI應用。然而,真正值得討論的是,這究竟是「人工智慧」,還是只是披著AI外衣的宣傳工具?從目前公布的內容看來,鄭小文並沒有展現可與民眾即時互動、理解問題、推理分析或獨立回應的能力,更像是一個預先設計好的虛擬角色,由幕後團隊撰寫腳本,再以AI形象包裝對外發布。若未來仍是留言先由機器制式回覆,再交由小編接手,與過去常見的社群聊天機器人並沒有本質差異。

請繼續往下閱讀...

更令人玩味的是,國民黨選擇以鄭麗文為概念打造AI發言人,而不是設計一個中立、具有專業形象的虛擬角色。這種做法容易讓外界產生「個人崇拜」或「馬屁文化」的聯想,彷彿不是因為AI技術有多創新,而是藉由政治人物的人設延伸,塑造另一個宣傳分身。當政黨資源優先用來打造政治偶像,而不是提升政策論述品質或建立真正具有知識能力的AI系統,自然難免受到外界質疑。

真正的人工智慧,不應只是把人物畫成動漫風、搭配語音與文案就稱為AI發言人,而應具備透明性、可驗證性與回答問題的能力,甚至能夠引用政策依據、公開資料,接受不同立場民眾的提問與檢驗。否則,再精美的角色設計,也只是數位包裝下的宣傳素材。政黨若希望展現科技創新,與其打造一個只會代表政黨說話的虛擬人物,不如建立一套能公開政策資料、接受民眾質詢、誠實回應事實的AI平台,這才是真正讓人工智慧提升民主溝通,而不是淪為政治行銷的新外衣。

筆者認為,國民黨若希望展現科技創新,與其打造一個只會代表政黨說話的虛擬人物,不如建立一套能公開政策資料、接受民眾質詢、誠實回應事實的AI平台。(資料照)

看著熱熱的飯菜,柯一正心想去便利商店也沒用,卡都沒帶,就坐下來享用,然後心想:「我會不會看起來像吃霸王餐的老頭?是不是常有人說忘了帶錢?」但又看到帥哥老闆完全沒當一回事,繼續招待客人。

最後吃完了,柯一正飛快騎車回去拿錢包,再回小吃店,「就像我沒離開過,帥哥把炒飯遞過來,我把帳付了,一再感謝。」接下來,柯一正慢慢騎回去,他說:「這就是台灣,相互信任或是沒錢沒關係,我請你的那種大氣。」

屏縣「金鑰獎」2年僅5.71%旅宿參選 今年祭出獎金催人氣

為形塑旅館及民宿良好服務品質,屏東縣政府2023年起舉辦「金鑰獎」友善旅宿選拔,每年選出約10餘家業者頒獎表揚,作為遊客選宿的推薦指標,但據審計報告指出,2024年及2025年合計參選的業者僅占全縣合法旅宿業5.71%,縣府說明,將透過宣導與輔導提高金鑰獎參與意願,今年更將首度祭出獎金。

屏縣金鑰獎分為高齡友善、寵物友善、環境友善、在地友善4大類,各類選出2家旅館及2家民宿,認證效期為3年。然而近日公布的審計報告指出,參與金鑰獎選拔案件2023年125件、2024年下降至52件、2025年57件,近2年合計參選業者僅占合法旅宿業的5.71%,縣府宜探究業者參加意願低落原因並採改善對策。

請繼續往下閱讀...

業者參加意願偏低原因,屏縣府交通旅遊處表示,主因在於部分業者有意願,但評估需花許多時間準備文件資料,其次選拔採觀摩分享的獎勵屬性,無實質獎金。縣府將持續透過宣導與輔導,提高旅宿業者參與金鑰獎選拔的意願,除透過旅宿業者群組、說明會等管道加強宣傳,也會針對評選項目及友善服務措施提供業者相關資訊與輔導,讓業者了解參選標準及準備方向。

「2026年第四屆金鑰獎將首度提供每家獲獎業者2萬元獎勵金!」,交旅處表示,今年選拔作業包括報名徵件、資格審查、書面初審、實地複審及決選會議等階段,透過專家委員評選,遴選出具代表性的友善旅宿,預計選出16家業者。

目前縣府也推出「再來一屏」獎勵旅遊行銷推廣計畫,入住合法旅宿獎勵每晚500元、入住金鑰獎旅宿獎勵每晚1000元,最高獎勵4晚,7月1日開放申請至8月11日共受理67件,銀髮旅遊團60件、國外入境旅遊團7件,交旅處初步觀察,約7成以上旅遊團選擇入住「屏東金鑰獎」獲獎旅宿。統計至7月底,全縣合法旅館100家、合法民宿1331家。

先前曾有媒體與軍事刊物報導指出,部署在中東的航空母艦「林肯號」部署時間過長,且已經數個月未靠岸,艦上官兵生活條件與身心狀態堪憂。不過美國總統川普14日聲稱「林肯號」的部署「還不夠久」,但「林肯號」未來將由「喬治華盛頓號」接替任務。美軍中央司令部(U.S. Central Command)司令庫柏(Brad Cooper)16日發表聲明,談及最近登艦視察的所見所聞,並稱讚艦上官兵展現的韌性。

綜合外媒報導,庫柏提到他15日登上「林肯號」時的狀況,並表示:「我希望每一位美國人都能看到艦上官兵執勤時的樣子。當你親眼見到他們的情誼、團隊合作與韌性時,一定會感到無比驕傲。」庫柏強調,在美國海軍現役11艘航空母艦中,「林肯號」的心理健康相關通報案例數是最低。

請繼續往下閱讀...

庫柏表示,不過這並不代表一切都很完美,「你可以去問問今天在美國的近400萬名海軍退伍軍人,他們很可能會告訴你,長時間在海上服役並不適合每個人。這是一項獨特而艱難的挑戰,而我們每一個人,包括我自己,在面對壓力時都有不同反應」。

庫柏提到,他長久以來都相信心理健康是個人健康的另一個層面,需要給予關注,就像身體健康與精神健康一樣。對此他要讚揚「林肯號」的領導層,特別是士官長室中的資深士官領袖,他們挺身而出,將心理健康與艦上官兵韌性列為領導優先事項。庫柏也告訴艦上所有水兵與陸戰隊員:「請繼續保持出色表現,祝你們返航一路順風、平安順遂。」

「林肯號」去年11月離開加州聖地牙哥母港前往南海,並在今年2月28日調往中東,迄今已出海9個月,由於「林肯號」生活條件惡化,更有報導指稱,「林肯號」曾發生數起水手跳海自殺未遂事件。美軍證實艦上有少量心理健康病例接受治療,無人死亡,本月3日落海的士兵已獲救。

健康網》走路速度是大腦老化的指標 研究揭失智風險少一半
NEWS link
研究發現,80歲以上仍維持較快步行速度的長者,認知障礙風險約少一半;圖為情境照。(圖取自freepik)

〔健康頻道/綜合報導〕走路速度可能不只關乎體力,還可能是觀察大腦健康老化的指標!一項研究分析近4000名80歲以上長者、追蹤3至5年發現,步行速度高於同年齡、同性別平均值1.5個標準差的「超級行動者」,出現認知障礙的風險約為一般長者的一半;進一步研究更發現,這群長者記憶力與其他認知能力衰退較慢,腦部MRI也顯示學習與記憶相關腦區的腦容量保存較好。

食農專家韋恩於臉書「韋恩的食農生活」與網站發文分享,80歲以上、走路速度明顯快於同齡人的銀髮族被稱為「超級行動者」(super movers)。2026年7月發表於《Neurology》期刊的研究顯示,這群人日後出現認知障礙的風險,大約只有同齡人的一半。

請繼續往下閱讀...

走得快大腦也較健康

研究把超級行動者定義為80歲以上、步行速度高於同年齡同性別平均值1.5個標準差的人。研究團隊整合了多項既有的長者追蹤資料,最大規模的分析納入將近4000名80歲以上長者,追蹤3-5年,並先排除已有認知障礙者。結果顯示,超級行動者出現認知障礙的風險約為非超級行動者的一半。

研究另外針對近200人做了更細緻的認知測驗與腦部MRI掃描,這群超級行動者的記憶力和其他認知能力衰退較慢,MRI也顯示他們在學習與記憶相關的特定腦區,腦容量保存得比較好;在第三組超過690人的樣本中,超級行動者的認知功能較佳,阿茲海默症與其他失智症的盛行率也較低。

這是這項研究的關鍵限制。韋恩引研究人員的說法表示,該研究呈現的是相關性,而非因果關係。超級行動者可能在很多面向都和其他人不同,例如他們一生的身體活動量可能都比較高,而這項研究並未追蹤他們是從什麼時候開始走得快的。

高齡仍可練出好體能

為什麼走路與大腦有關?韋恩引述喬治華盛頓大學臨床副教授Leana Wen表示,大腦在走路時要協調肌肉與神經,同時處理平衡、視覺和周遭環境的訊息。目前已知身體活動本身就能降低失智風險,超級行動者的整體活動量可能高於一般長者。他們也可能慢性病較少、飲食較健康、有基因優勢、收入較高或社會支持較強,這些因素的任何組合,都可能同時造就他們出色的行動力和較好的認知健康。這也意味著,可能大腦老化得特別好的人,才更能維持較快的步行速度。

民眾可能會問現在開始還來得及嗎?韋恩提及,有研究顯示人到高齡仍有改善體能的空間。例如,原本久坐不動的人,可從繞街區走一小段開始,逐步增加時間和頻率;已有規律走路習慣的人,可在過程中加入短時間的加速,能走30分鐘的人,先用平常速度走幾分鐘,接著加快1-2分鐘再慢下來,之後慢慢拉長加速的區段;走坡道也是增加強度的方法。

韋恩總結,走路是很好的運動,但選擇不只這一種。有氧運動可以是室內外的自行車、游泳,或其他能提高心率的活動。匹克球、網球、高爾夫這類結合運動與社交的活動,也讓很多人樂在其中。大量研究也證實肌力訓練的重要性,維持肌肉量和肌力隨年齡增加更為重要。

Joeman遭蕭伊控私約AV女優!陳沂翻譯道歉文狠譏「渣男分手經典語錄」
NEWS link
〔記者邱奕欽/台北報導〕百萬YouTuber Joeman近日遭美妝創作者蕭伊連環爆料,指出交往期間隱瞞多項事情,包括私約AV女優吃無菜單料理、與女網紅租客互動密切,以及爭吵時以「加分扣分制」要求半夜煮牛肉麵等。對此,網紅陳沂也發聲評論整起事件,更直接翻譯Joeman的道歉聲明,狠譏根本是「渣男分手經典語錄」。

陳沂整理蕭伊爆料內容,提到Joeman被指控交往期間私約AV女優吃飯、讓女網紅承租名下房產,還曾在爭吵時要求女友半夜到家中煮牛肉麵,她笑稱自己搞不懂這些行為到底是在幫Joeman扣分還是加分,「看到他能約女優吃飯,男性朋友應該都很羨慕吧?」至於女網紅租屋一事,她則認為並沒有太大問題,反倒是半夜想吃牛肉麵比較令人傻眼,直言:「Joeman是還想胖回去嗎?」

請繼續往下閱讀...

面對Joeman發出的道歉聲明,陳沂則完全不買單,認為整篇內容就是典型的分手話術,她表示Joeman稱自己「不是很好的對象」、稱讚前女友很好後便結束回應,給人的感覺是「弱到懶得跟她多說了,真是很看不起人」。隨後,陳沂更直接翻譯道歉聲明內容:「對!妳說的都對!妳很好,是我不好,我配不上妳!」並狠譏這根本就是「渣男分手經典語錄。」引起外界熱烈討論。

〔娛樂頻道/綜合報導〕百萬YouTuber Joeman與美妝網紅蕭伊分手,蕭伊16日爆大料,指Joeman不但與另一網紅來往,甚至還私約AV女優,引爆大家瘋猜是誰?

由於Joeman去年曾與日本人氣AV女優瀨戶環奈同框拍片,且還開特斯拉載著她,當然大批網友第一個就想到瀨戶環奈,只不過蕭伊在Threads發文給線索:「我抓到的是T開頭的喔~台灣人,而且也知道對方有女友,女兒何苦為難女人?」顯然並非瀨戶環奈。

Joeman證實情變後,蕭伊隨即透過IG發出黑底白字,除表明「是我提分手、我封鎖對方」,更駁斥蹭流量以及把男方當ATM不實謠言,列出2點:「1. 是我提分手 2. 我封鎖對方」,引爆更多話題。

此外,劉宇寧提及在《書卷一夢》詮釋「南珩」與「離十六」,他為了兩個角色特別在聲線及表演上做了區隔。扮演皇子「南珩」時,他刻意放慢語速、避免過多的手勢,與人交談時不會直盯著對方,而是在重要時刻才會看對方一眼,展現出他的地位氣場。相較之下,「離十六」因為背景設定是江湖大俠,因此多了一些生活感,肢體動作也豐富多了。劉宇寧透露,演「南珩」時他會刻意把聲線壓低,丹田稍微用力;換成「離十六」時,音色會往上調,藉由音色高低把人物的性格做出差異性。《書卷一夢》每週一至五晚間9點於八大戲劇台播出。

〔記者梁偉銘/綜合報導〕詹皓晴和澳洲搭檔茹安(Maya Joint)在辛辛那提網賽爆出冷門,初登場歷經搶10激戰,終以7:6(7:4)、3:6、10:3力退第8種子比利時梅騰絲(Elise Mertens)/俄國施奈德(Diana Shnaider),「台澳聯軍」挺進女雙16強,也是首輪第3組贏球的台將人馬。

面對梅騰絲/施奈德這對種子勁敵,詹皓晴/茹安臨場拚出默契和鬥志,開賽雙方人馬兩度互破僵持不下,搶7時「台澳聯軍」頂住壓力,從4:4連下3分先馳得盤。次盤梅騰絲組合強力反撲,盤末雙破扳回一城。戰線拉入決勝搶10,小詹組合重振旗鼓,連得4分取得6:1,並力保優勢不失,最終拉鋸逾2小時關門。

〔記者盧養宣/新北報導〕身高198公分的國立體大長人胡晉豪未投入選秀,選擇繼續留在UBA賽場,此次第2度入選瓊斯盃白隊,昨在面對約旦一戰貢獻16分、10籃板雙十演出,他希望能在投入職業前提升在3,4號位的技能,讓自己未來有更多本錢。

胡晉豪是國內備受期待的潛力長人,上季在UBA幫助國體拿下亞軍後未投入職業賽場,要在大五這年力拚轉型,他表示,與總教練桑茂森討論過後,知道以現在的身體條件要在職業賽場打到5號位幾乎不可能,「希望在未來的這一年透過國家隊或各項盃賽,磨練3、4號位的技能,威哥(陳子威)也有跟我們說,希望在瓊斯盃都能展現自己的天賦和優點完成目標。」

請繼續往下閱讀...

胡晉豪昨在與約旦一戰展現中距離投射能力,他表示,過去是射手的陳子威在組訓期間提點不少,包括投射前的腳步和動作預備等等,在組訓前自己也找了個人訓練師加強面框的腳步和運球後的出手動作,「我也會跟國豪、現惟、韋愷請教投籃,就像威哥講的有空檔就要出手,如果不出手永遠不知道會不會進。」

陳子威表示,從亞大籃、世大運到今年的瓊斯盃,已經連續3年與胡晉豪合作,希望他能夠持續進步,未來在一隊站穩腳步,為國家帶來貢獻,「職業賽場本土4號位的上場時間不多,所以我很鼓勵國內200公分左右的長人在休賽季要多比賽。」

農曆7月趨吉避凶看這篇!命理師點名:這7件事絕對不要做
NEWS link
農曆7月鬼門開,民間有許多禁忌,命理師楊登嵙提醒農曆7月不要結婚、不要開市、不撿紅包等7大禁忌。(楊登嵙提供)

農曆7月俗稱「鬼月」,是傳統民俗信仰月,生活上也有許多禁忌,知名命理師楊登嵙就提醒,在農曆7月不要結婚、不要開市、不撿紅包、不出殯、不亂說話、不玩錢仙、碟仙、不踩踏冥紙等7大禁忌,不管大家信或不信,無論信仰如何,最好還是抱著尊重的心態,平安的度過農曆7月。

台中市名門命理教育協會創會理事長楊登嵙建議,農曆7月生活上有這7大禁忌:

請繼續往下閱讀...

第一、不要結婚:

很多好兄弟都還沒結婚就去世,在鬼月結婚,如同向祂們炫耀,會招來好兄弟的忌妒。

第二、不要開市:

鬼月開市,不是好的開始,往往經營不順利而收場。

第三、不撿紅包:

走在路上看到錢包、紅包袋、鈔票、零錢、物品,千萬不要隨便撿拾,因為很有可能會替你帶來「鬼妻」或是招來好兄弟跟隨。

第四、不出殯:

非不得已要辦喪事,選定日子火化還不算圓滿,因為「燒庫錢」這個步驟不會在鬼月做,最主要的原因,就是擔心「好兄弟」半路攔截,會等農曆7月過後才會進行「燒庫錢」及進塔。

第五、不亂說話:

行經喪禮、祭祀場所,要注意言行舉止,切勿亂說話或態度輕浮,心裡也不可以有不敬的念頭,以免被「好兄弟」盯上。

第六、不玩錢仙、碟仙:

鬼月千萬別因為一時興起,而玩錢仙、碟仙那類的恐怖遊戲,小心脫不了身而帶來大麻煩!

第七、不踩踏冥紙:

路上看到灑落的冥紙,千萬不要踩踏,更不要亂燒冥紙引來「好兄弟」。

LTN經濟通》國民黨A翻天 在中國尚有黨產可清算?
NEWS link
青島啤酒的所有權曾經隨著德國、日本與國民政府的政治變動而多次轉換。(路透資料照)

青島啤酒由德國人創立 一戰後日本接手

〔財經頻道/綜合報導〕今天的青島啤酒,是中國最具代表性的啤酒品牌之一。然而,這個被許多人視為中國工業象徵的企業,其誕生背景卻與19世紀末中國遭受列強瓜分的歷史密不可分。青島啤酒的百年歷程,不只是企業興衰史,更是一段中國近代政治權力轉移、資產重新分配與國家制度變遷的縮影。

1903年,由來自德國的商人聯合投資在青島建立「日耳曼啤酒公司青島股份公司」,也就是今日青島啤酒的前身。當時的青島,是德國在中國取得的殖民據點。1898年,德國迫使清廷簽訂《膠澳租借條約》,取得膠州灣租借權,並以青島為中心建立遠東基地。

請繼續往下閱讀...

對德國而言,啤酒廠具有實際經濟目的。由於駐青德軍與歐洲居民習慣飲用啤酒,當地需要穩定供應符合德國標準的產品,因此德國引進釀造設備與技術,在青島建立啤酒生產基地。

第一次世界大戰爆發後,東亞局勢劇烈變化。1914年,日本以對德宣戰為由攻占青島,德國勢力退出中國,日本接收德國在青島的一切資產,其中也包括啤酒廠。到第二次世界大戰結束前,這家工廠已屬於日本資本控制下的「大日本麥酒株式會社青島工場」,生產品牌除原青島啤酒外,也生產日本大麥酒旗下品牌朝日啤酒。

1922年,中國政府收回青島主權,但由於日本在華經濟力量仍然龐大,青島啤酒的經營並未完全脫離日本影響。1937年中日戰爭全面爆發後,隔年日本再次占領青島,啤酒廠也重新落入日本控制。

2017年,國民黨舉行記者會,黨營事業「齊魯公司」在中國的財產資料首度曝光。(本報資料照,)

二戰後國民政府接收 隨即轉手變黨產

1945年,日本戰敗投降,中國迎來抗日戰爭勝利。然而,戰爭結束並不代表社會立即恢復秩序,反而開啟了一場規模龐大的資產重新分配。當時,中華民國政府成立「行政院收復區全國性事業接收委員會」,沒收日本在中國之資產。

按照戰後國際慣例,戰敗國在海外占有的資產通常會被勝利國接收。對中國而言,日本在中國經營數十年的企業與工業設施,包括工廠、銀行、礦山、交通企業等,都被視為日本侵略期間取得的敵方資產。國民政府因此展開大規模接收行動。

於是工廠由青島市政府當局派員接管,更名為「青島啤酒公司」,隸屬於行政院山東青島區產業處理局。

依這套制度設計,青島啤酒理論上應屬於戰後由國民政府接收處理的日產資產,而非一開始就屬於某個政黨的私有財產。然而,1947年6月14日,由中國國民黨黨營企業「齊魯企業股份有限公司」購買,成為「齊魯企業青島啤酒廠」。

換言之,青島啤酒的經營權先落入國民政府手中,政府以接收日產的名義進行接管,後續在程序不明情況下,被納入國民黨旗下的齊魯實業內,轉身就變成國民黨黨營事業。

中國建政 青島啤酒再度易主

1949年,中國政權發生根本性變化。隨著中國共產黨建立中華人民共和國,原由國民政府控制的大量公營企業、金融機構與工業資產,也隨之進入新的國家經濟體系。青島啤酒的命運再次被改寫。

在新政權建立後,青島啤酒廠被中國共產黨政府接管,原有的國民政府管理體系被取代,企業納入地方政府領導之下,成為國營工業企業,更名為「國營青島啤酒廠」。對當時的新中國而言,這些接收而來的工廠不只是生產單位,更被視為建立國家工業基礎的重要資產。

過去,企業的所有權曾經隨著德國、日本與國民政府的政治變動而多次轉換;1949年後,企業被納入國家所有制之下,所有權不再屬於私人資本,而屬於國家。

在計劃經濟年代,青島啤酒雖然缺乏市場化競爭,但仍維持一定品牌影響力。由於其早期建立的德式釀造技術基礎,加上青島特殊的城市品牌形象,使其成為中國啤酒產業中的代表企業。

國民黨曾主張對青島啤酒所有權

隨著台灣社會重新檢視威權時代政治資產問題,國民黨黨產議題再次成為公共討論焦點。過去數十年間,國民黨長期被外界質疑在執政時期利用國家權力取得大量土地、企業與財產,形成龐大的政治資源。青島啤酒的歷史,也因其曾經歷國民政府接收階段,而被重新提出討論。

日本戰敗後,中國政府接收大量日本企業,包括工廠、銀行、礦業與交通資產。這些企業原本應被視為國家資產,用於戰後重建,原本屬於國家的財富,卻被「空手套白狼」操作,逐漸形成特定政治群體的利益來源。

前國民黨黨管會主委劉泰英表示,曾在江澤民主政時期向中共高層表明要清算一下青島啤酒,經多次協商後,中共方面表明願意接受,但後來因李登輝下台,此案就不了了之。

2017年,國民黨舉行記者會,黨營事業「齊魯公司」在中國的財產資料首度曝光,其中知名品牌「青島啤酒」當年就是由齊魯公司在中國申請註冊商標,國民黨表示,這些文件證明國民黨的「第一桶金」不但合法,而且來自中國,稱「青島啤酒也是國民黨黨產」,並要求黨產會時任主委顧立雄向中國共產黨追討黨產,如果不追就是瀆職。

值得注意的是,2005年時任國民黨主席連戰與胡錦濤會面後,國共兩黨的交流逐漸增加。多年來,雙方也持續保持一定程度的互動。不過,過去國民黨較少從「黨產」的角度要求共產黨處理相關資產問題,如今則主張由台灣政府追討,前後立場的差異,也引發外界不少討論。

你存了多少?去年家庭儲蓄平均29萬 這3個縣市最高

〔記者鄭琪芳/台北報導〕家庭儲蓄再創新高!主計總處調查,2025年家庭平均儲蓄約29萬元、再創歷年新高,平均儲蓄率23.96%、年增0.23個百分點;各縣市中,新竹市平均儲蓄46.23萬元蟬聯冠軍、新竹縣45.31萬元躍居第二、台北市38.46萬元居第3。主計總處官員表示,近幾年台灣經濟表現不錯,可支配所得持續增加,雖然物價上漲致消費支出成長,但家庭儲蓄仍增加。

根據主計總處「家庭收支調查」報告,2025年全國家庭戶數約976萬戶,平均每戶可支配所得121.04萬元、年增3.88%;平均消費支出92.04萬元、年增3.57%;平均每戶儲蓄28萬9970元、年增4.87%。由於所得增幅大於消費支出,去年家庭儲蓄率23.96%、年增0.23個百分點。官員指出,2011年家庭儲蓄率一度跌破20%、創下35年新低,自2012年以來均維持在20%以上,且近幾年明顯回升。

請繼續往下閱讀...

各縣市中,家庭可支配所得平均數以新竹市160.49萬元居冠,新竹縣156.99萬元躍居第2,台北市155.46萬元退居第3。至於家庭儲蓄,以新竹市平均儲蓄46.23萬元蟬聯冠軍、新竹縣45.31萬元躍居第2、台北市38.46萬元排第3。

若按所得高低將家庭戶數分為5組,2025年最低20%家庭可支配所得39.72萬元、年增3.45%,消費支出41.49萬元、年增3.17%,低所得家庭連續19年出現「負儲蓄」,負儲蓄金額1萬7703元、年減511元。

官員說明,隨著人口老化,低所得家庭「經濟戶長」年齡在65歲以上占比超過6成,其中很多是退休人士,多依賴退休金、存款或子女奉養等,經常性收入比較少,但還是有一定的消費支出,所以出現「負儲蓄」;但這些人不一定「貧窮」或「入不敷出」,因為他們可能擁有財富,而家庭收支調查未涵蓋財富。
