人力銀行最新調查,因應兩岸三地交流頻繁,高達4成7的台灣企業表示未來願意僱用大陸或香港的大學畢業生,這是否意味著台灣人才將被大陸人才取代?

兩岸青年的總體競爭力比較,一直是個有趣又現實的問題。最新一期美國中學數學分級能力測驗(AMC)顯示,台灣無人滿分,是教改以來十年間表現最差的一次,這是否也代表台灣的國際競爭力下降?

大陸國台辦宣布,今年台灣高中畢業生只要學測達頂標,就可直接申請北京大學等一百二十三所對岸的大學,台生赴中國讀書的結構已經改變,從過去研究生下降到了大學高中生,也不是考不上台灣好學校才選擇到對岸去,而是頂尖學生被挑走。相較之下,新加坡、香港與我們同文同種,用各種獎學金與優惠簽證,早在幾年前就來台大張旗鼓的招生了。

人才就是國家與企業的即戰力,好人才都被吸走,台灣企業五成也願雇用陸生,那麼台灣還能留下什麼?

今年剛要大學畢業的范敦宇,同時考取了政大東亞所及北大的政府管理學院,他決定捨政大就北大,他的回答是:大陸市場大、有遠景。

台灣人才流失中,那麼你贊成陸生來台嗎?來台短期就讀致理技術學院的陸生鄔葉曉來自寧波城市職業技術學院,兩校是姊妹校,她說不虛此行,來台灣看到很多新奇的東西,才知道台灣人真正的想法,回去後,她會鼓勵學弟妹也來台灣交流交流。民國九十年致理技術學院就率先開設兩岸經貿中心,目標一學年能招來三十名陸生,難道這是台灣的大學過剩、學生缺額的生存之道?

讀者文摘一月份調查,有兩成一台生願意去大陸唸書,但只有百分之五的陸生願意來台。在兩黨混戰當中,關係陸生來台的「大學法」及「專科學校法」初審過關,但未來仍以「三限六不」為限制條件,你覺得實際嗎?本週六晚間七點公視十三頻道NGO觀點,一場無視陸生陸校的人才大戰怎麼打?

悲劇真有代價?地質法真能過關? 地質敏感區 全面公告並管制 保障生命?侵犯權益?

地質敏感區 全面公告並管制 保障生命?侵犯權益?

CALL-IN 保障生命vs侵犯權益 地質法該不該過?能不能過?


國道3號走山事件發生後,各界憂心台灣還有許多類似地質相當脆弱的地方,朝野呼籲盡速完成地質法草案立法。地質法審議十多年,台灣已歷經多次重大災難!這一次,地質法勢必過關?


再續地質法:


93年三讀通過,隨即遭到復議,地質法內容究竟為何?為何遲遲無法通過?



這次雖然有走山的教訓、朝野也有共識要盡快制定地質法,但新版的重要內容包括了第五條規定要建立地質資料管理系統;第六條要公告地值敏感區;第七條要求所有開發行為,要有地質調查和地質安全評估等等。地質敏感區還是要公布。那上次未能立法的阻力,這次消失了嗎?




最終無法過關的理由?


地質法的爭議:無配套、事權不一、法律競合、小農舍也要地質調查…?地質法曾經在2004年遭到60多位立委連署復議而沒能完成立法程序,當初地質法和水土保持法、公路法等多項法律都有衝突,其中還限制了農民在自己的地、蓋農舍都要提出地質安全評估報告,根本就是擾民。而立委也指出,當年地質法功敗垂成的另一個原因是建商反彈。





地質敏感區到底多敏感?對民眾生活有哪些幫助和衝擊?三分之二都是坡地的台灣,地質法訂不訂依然存再許多爭議。


避免悲劇重演,地質法非通過不可?


地質法的重要性?沒有地質法,就不能公開列管住宅?有了地質法,台灣山坡地就真有保障?若無配套就通過地質法,嚴重侵犯民眾權益?

現在因為這次走山意外,使得地質法再度受到重視,行政院新版地質法目前也已經在立法院經濟委員會審議。而無論是新舊地質法版本,其中都規定要公告地質敏感區,但這也容易造成民眾恐慌和建商反彈,立委認為必須要有其它的配套法案。


"公告地質敏感地區",真的很敏感?


如何判定地質敏感?行水區、淹水、算不算地質敏感?位於板塊聚合帶的台灣,哪裡地質不敏感?地狹人稠又多高山,公開了又能怎樣?台灣目前的地質狀況能否在調查中據實呈現,能否作改善?



除了畫設敏感地質區,若是曾發生地質災變就必須公告,時間設定範圍有多大?十年、二十年?



建商到底有多大的壓力?公開地質敏感,真的就無法賣賣?目前建築法規是否足夠?清境、汐止、溫泉區、為何建照可以輕易取得?目前難道都沒管制?

上海世博倒數計時 從京奧到世博 上海城市化一步到位?中國加入強國俱樂部?




來賓:

投資中國信息網社長 李孟洲

資深媒體人 楊憲宏

資深財經記者 許啟智

網路視訊:王丹

電話連線:上海世博會動遷戶 胡燕


上海世博爲了迎接5月1號開幕日的到來,在本月20號起進行試營運,湧入上萬民眾。上海世博此次主題為城市讓生活更美好,參展的242個國家場館各具特色,爭奇鬥豔也比展場人氣。




古典結合現代科技,上海世博目不暇給:


山東館內接待員整齊劃一的微笑,希望吸引更多遊客駐足展覽,包括巨型的液晶螢幕,以及二點五公尺高的巨幅孔子像,塑造山東館磅礡氣勢。其他在廣東館內,也是透過數位燈光,打造廣東嶺南當年的文人風情,更科幻的,還有運用數位媒體,想像廣東未來的空間,在河南館,利用多媒體複製多種古文物出爐的景象。



上海媒體形容,世博會試運的盛況有如春運。而中國網民抱怨,試運第一天就是個悲劇。這個世博會,能不能讓上海在國際形象中更上層樓,全球都在觀望。


世界博覽,歷史悠久


世界博覽會歷史久遠,但舉辦世博有何意義?細數歷史上的世博,相當於對人們的生活及文明的進展作一次里程的紀錄。世博會曾經出現哪些影響後代人生活深遠的工藝或科技?世博是強國的派對嗎?上海世博再一次宣告中國崛起?



樂觀看待人類文明發展的背後,尊重自然與各族群的合諧共榮,才是世博真正該被關注到的絃外之音。


爲什麼是上海?


相較於其他主辦過世博的國家,中國爲何不將世博選在其他二三線城市,帶動內地發展?世博在上海舉行有甚麼樣的意義?中國的策略是甚麼?



這次上海世博的特色是甚麼?從上海世博各展館可以看出的未來趨勢是甚麼?上海世博的口號是 Better city, better life?城市讓生活更美好,是真的嗎?

上海世博能帶動整體經濟成長嗎?歷屆世博多數賠錢,上海世博真能吸引7000萬人,創造商機嗎?誰來看世博,預估外國觀光客5%,全靠自家人捧場?一級城市吸引全國目光,共享榮光?增添城鄉落差的相對剝奪感?


發展中的隱憂:


從北京奧運到上海世博,中國城市不斷蛻變,但其中的隱憂何在?



外界估上海世博花450億美元,接近中國公開的1年軍費,韓正說場館.營運花42億美元,其他錢花到哪裡去?除了城市建設還能看見什麼變化與未來?在上海舉辦世博是讓中國城市化一步到位的方式嗎?準備世博的過程中,許多當地民眾的權益被漠視,光鮮亮麗的世博建立在小老百姓斑斑血淚上?(拆遷1.8萬戶)


資源過度集中,城市化過程的必然?城鄉落差越來越大?上海的負擔與潛在危機?

還記得被921地震,震得柔腸寸斷的中橫嗎?

又為什麼準備在2004年7月15日全線通車的中橫,竟不敵一場「七二水災」,而被迫暫停修復至今呢?
中橫通與不通之間,到底受什麼影響?又由什麼來決定呢?

中橫在中斷7、8年之後,去年12月,大梨山的居民到立法院陳情,要求政府給他們一條回家的路之後,今年7月15日,國民黨總統參選人馬英九到中部LongStay,也開出要讓中橫打通的支票,讓中橫該不該復建這樣的公共議題,一旦碰上選舉之後,往往選票計算多於專業考量。為了解中橫現況,本節目在7月底深入中橫,為觀眾帶回第一手紀錄。


翻開中橫的開發史,最早可以追溯到日治時期,台中縣和平鄉鄉長陳斐晏告訴我們,中橫還未打通之前,日本人為了方便到部落來管理原住民,已經在這裡開出一條便道,這條路在當時又稱為「理蕃路」,國民政府遷台之後,之所以會動工興建中橫,除了有「促進東部發展、安置榮民、改善原住民生活、開發山林資源,還有增進國防安全」五大任務之外,另一個重要原因是為台電將水庫蓋在大甲溪流域,讓世居在這裡的泰雅族原住民,受到很多的限制與生活上的改變。

至於中橫動工的時間是在45年7月7日,參與開路的榮民有1萬多人,中橫可以說是由這群人以徒手、血汗、生命換來的;此外,還可以從蔣經國親自視察中橫19次,看出這條路當時受到重視的程度。 民國49年5月9日當時的行政院長俞鴻鈞在主持通車典禮時,還以「全線地段,海拔過高,峰巒起伏,林木蔽天,在長達數百里的無人地帶和原始森林中,進行開路工作,處處要鑿山渡塹,披荊斬棘」來形容中橫的險崚,所以中橫在五○年又被視為是「人定勝地」的代表。但經過40多考驗的中橫,最後卻躲不過九二一地震與七二水災,帶來的災害,不得不在2004年暫停修復。

但所謂的中橫8年不通,其實只說對一半而已,又稱為「台八線」的中橫,由台中縣東勢大橋開始,經過天冷、和平、谷關、德基、梨山、大禹嶺到花蓮,全線190公里。目前無法通行的只有谷關到德基之間的25公里,影響所及是往返於台中到梨山之間居民,平常可能只要1到1個半小時路程就可以到達,現在要用另外的3條替代道路,比過去多花4到6倍的時間。至於東勢到谷關;梨山到花蓮之外的160公里,一般民眾仍可以通行無阻。


九二一發生之後,為了搶通中橫,交通部提出3階段修復計畫:

第一階段89年1月18日完成,總經費是17億元,主要是用來做坍方道路緊急搶通工程,完成之後供公務、工程、學術單位研究使用。

第二階段修建作為地區使用管制公路,在93年6月30日完工,經費是5億元,原定在7月15日要全線通車。

第三階段是永久復建經費約60至90億元之間。


不知道是天公不作美,還是老天爺不點頭,就在2004年7月2日,中橫全線搶通2天之後,敏都利颱風帶來的七二水災馬上來報到,不僅造成中橫谷關到德基之間20多公里許多路段被摧毀,交通部公路總局的22億搶通經費也都泡湯。


面對中橫在九二一之後,一再重演修了又崩,崩了又修的老戲碼,93年8月5日當時的行政院長的游錫?指示暫緩修復中橫,游錫?曾經用是「老天爺要封山,不是政府要封山」來說明政府的無耐。


行政院當時是根據學者提出來的研究報告,這份研究指出,「921地震之後,中橫公路地質鬆動,鬆軟的土石還有1億至10億立方公尺之多,72水災沖刷下來的只不過是1千萬立方公尺而已。


不只如此,經濟利水利署水規所在95年11月完成的「大甲溪方案期末報告」,也提到中橫馬鞍壩到的德基水庫集水區的崩塌地面積原來有4174公頃,72水災之後,馬上增加458公頃,土石流潛勢溪流,也由原來的72處,又多增加10個地方,公路總局研議中的第3階段永久復建只好暫時打住。


但是今年2月,立法院開始出現要求打通中橫的聲音,立委甚至到中橫現勘,並要求交部分必須在3個月內提出搶通計畫。


但是根據公路總局清查結果,目前尚無法開放通行的谷關到德基路段(25公里)有路基缺口31處、土石流區22 處、容易坍方有落石地區51處、危險路段29處,換言之,平均2至3200公尺,就有一個危險路段,除此之外,中橫還有4條段層通過這裡,分別是F1斷層、青山斷層、F2斷層、武陵斷層,前3條就在中橫受創最嚴重,台電的青山電廠的附近。


至於中橫要不要打通這個問題,交通部公路總局已在今年5月15日提出「中橫公路台8線及台8甲線上谷關至德基路段便道搶通計畫書」,修復經費花6億9千萬元之外(兩年時間),每年還要付出1億5千萬元的的維護費,但中橫修復之後,是否安全呢?會不會又塌了又修,修了又塌的老戲碼呢?


再過3年,中橫就屆滿50周年了。

「中橫」和「石門水庫」並列台灣五○年代最重要的兩大建設,中橫究竟要何去何從呢?透過我們的鏡頭,我們要帶觀眾到中橫25公里禁地,從各個面向讓觀眾了解中橫現況,同時我們也到了梨山,讓大家了解梨山人的心聲?讓大中橫觀眾一起了解中橫該不該修復這個棘手問題。

谷關、梨山在九二一地震之前,1年的觀光產值有多少呢?

中橫8年不通之後,對他們的影響又有多大呢?

對於要求中橫復通的聲音愈來愈大,交通部公路總局提出的6.9億元的復建預算算,真的救得了中橫嗎?

7月底,我們來到梨山,採訪中橫復建問題,看到梨山街頭掛滿了中英文抗議的布條,要求政府給他們一條回家的路,大梨山的泰雅族原住民甚至大聲說「原住民從來沒有不通的路」。


梨山,這個曾經是外國旅客喜歡來的觀光景點,在產業最活絡時期,曾經有10萬人在這裡流動,九二一之後,則只剩下1萬人左右,目前落籍在梨山地區則有3千多人,其中2千人是泰雅族的原住民。


至於中橫不通,對梨山觀光業的影響是多少,台中縣和平鄉長陳斐晏與梨山觀光發展協會理事長張英奇,提供我們兩分不同的數據,告訴我們梨山人不能再等下去了。


今年7月,國民黨的總統參選人馬英九到了梨山,允諾他當選後,會打通中橫,這張支票,帶給梨山人希望,但是專業評估在那裡呢? 谷關到德基之間不通的25公里路,真的已經到了復建的時機嗎?


透過這次深入中橫,我們跟東勢、梨山兩端的居民一樣,要進入谷關到德基路段,必須分別從東勢進入谷關,梨山進入德基到完全不通的5公里路段,也就是台電青山電廠所在地的青山路段,裡面土石崩落的情形,難以想像。


對中橫來說,目前颱風、豪雨帶來的災害,可能比地震有過之而無不及,就在中橫要不要復建成為選舉議題之後,8中旬的連日豪雨,又造成中橫部分路段坍方、路基被掏空,380名觀光客,一度受困谷關。


谷關、梨山的觀光產值與中橫復建的環境成本,熟輕、熟重,究竟怎麼衡量,又中橫是否要一直重演「搶修、災害、封閉、搶修」這樣的循環宿命,長期投入中橫山崩研究的學者專家,除了跟我們一起到中橫了解現況,也給了政府及中橫一些建議與思考。

「沒有人能夠阻止我們向全世界說話」

「我們同樣都是公民
我們都有權利說話
也有義務聆聽」

這是2009.6.20 法鼓山公益論壇為「部落客宣言」這本書的作者,Eric Ringmar (林瑞谷)舉辦的一場座談。當天除了林瑞谷本人,一些言論活躍卻深藏不露的部落客,也到場做了精彩的對談。

基於也想在部落格這個圈子「混得好一點」,獨立特派員特地前往取經,聽聽這些平日習慣在電腦螢幕前對著虛擬世界高談闊論的部落客們,在實體世界裡,是否也能說出個什麼道理來。

除了這一段林瑞谷本人的發言,到樓上樓下找找看,你應該還可以找到其他三枚部落客:黃小黛、龜趣來嘻,以及鄭陸霖的談話內容。

Erik Ringmar (林瑞谷),耶魯大學政治學博士,1995至2007年任教於倫敦政經學院 (LSE),現為台灣新竹交通大學教授。2009年出版「部落客宣言」。

林瑞谷(Erik Ringmar)從2006年開始使用部落格,他形容自己像經歷一種神奇的「賦權」感覺,沒有人能夠阻止我們向全世界說話」。

林瑞谷親身經歷過工作機構對部落客的打壓,引發出他對部落格言論自由的討論與想像。
部落格也不該是完全暢所欲言的。林瑞谷認為部落格上的言論應該要發展出一個新規範,就是每天日常生活當中使用的規則,符合情理和常識的規則。

導演柯金源談紀錄片《擺盪》

紀錄片《擺盪》 探討動物走私現象
本文出自:紀錄片《擺盪》 探討動物走私現象 ( 生命力新聞 )
日期:2010-04-29 03:34:00




導演柯金源談紀錄片《擺盪》。賴安娣/攝影

【記者賴安娣/台中報導】雨林,是物種繁衍且生生不息的寶貴之地,但隨著人們以經濟為第一優先的利益考量,濫墾濫伐換來的代價遠是我們無法承受的。紀錄片《擺盪》藉探討台灣走私動物的現象,去追述到動物原生地雨林的崩毀。導演柯金源說:「我希望把這些現象用紀錄片呈現,讓大家有新的思考和討論,在接下來能對台灣的生態環境和物種有更多的關注。」

一九九○年左右,柯金源正在從事田野調察的工作,剛好那陣子正逢媒體爭相把動物當作媒介,去做一些廣告、節目甚至是另類宣傳,這樣的「丑角化」和「寵物化」讓他開始注意起走私動物的議題。二○○○年七月,台中大坑山區出現一隻紅毛猩猩,驚動了消防隊並前往圍捕,這使他開始衍伸去思考各方面的問題,進而想要拍攝紀錄。

片中另一隻紅毛猩猩,名叫「妹妹」,是飼主在寵物市場看她可愛,把她買回來的。起先從出生包尿布開始養,但過了幾年之後,因為失去興趣便轉而讓給阿嬤照顧。阿嬤接手養了妹妹十幾年,因為朝夕相處在一起,成了陪伴的角色,自然也有了深厚的感情,對她來說,心靈上有了寄託,也比較不孤單。但是動物長大之後,問題隨之而來,不得不和阿嬤分開,被送往野生動物收容中心。「妹妹走的時候,一直緊緊抓住我的手腕,就好像在跟我說她不想走!」片中阿嬤不停地用手背擦拭滑落兩頰的淚珠,哽噎的說。

柯金源說:「拍攝過程中,我最深受感動的應該就是飼養者和猩猩之間的感情吧!他們真的是很有愛心。在拍攝猩猩和飼養者分開的時候,那些畫面總是給我衝擊,讓我忍不住去想到底怎樣才是最好的?是讓他們相安無事的相處,還是把猩猩送到收容中心才是上策?」雖然有主人飼養的紅毛猩猩,多半受到細心的呵護,但居住的環境並不適當,健康出了問題,像「妹妹」就是因為感染了漢他病毒才被強行送走的。

動物保育法在一九九○公佈,通過官方戶口普查,統計出來的紅毛猩猩數量只有兩百多隻,但一九九○年代,台灣其實有一千隻左右。這幾年柯金源因為關切物種的議題,又接觸到比較年輕的猩猩,大概在十歲以下。這又意味著什麼?是不是說在台灣有其他的繁殖管道、走私進口,甚至是黑戶的存在?

為什麼動物的走私會一直存在於台灣的社會?這便要追溯到台灣進口木材的議題了。台灣的木材約99.5%以上來自進口,最先台灣人砍伐中南半島蘇門達臘的雨林,再來是中南美洲。「台灣本身沒有辦法生產木材,所以去砍別人的。」柯金源提到。

砍伐雨林,以經濟利益為優先考量,人們沒有去思考到接踵而來要承擔的後果,例如使得雨林中物種減少,失去其生物多樣性,因全世界一半以上的生物都在雨林生長;再來,雨林的消失,對地球無疑是種破壞,一旦無法維持大氣中氧及二氧化碳的平衡,溫室效應將更嚴重。他又說:「人類對於這種情況該付出什麼樣的責任?同是生活在地球村上,我認為有一個比較大的概念是,我們不應該只顧著把自己的家園保護好,然後去破壞其他的地方。」柯金源說。

談到拍片的困難,柯金源覺得到雨林拍攝即是一個問題。因為在去之前,拍片團隊對當地的了解有限,何況紅毛猩猩的野外族群有兩、三萬隻,各自散佈於廣大的雨林。「很幸運的我認識一位馬來西亞來的僑生,他對當地非常熟悉,告訴我在哪個野外自然棲地拍攝到的機率較大,因此我就前往拍攝了。」

「我一開始也只是抱著試試看的想法,畢竟一座森林那麼大,又要從何去找紅毛猩猩呢?而且紅毛猩猩有另一個別稱,叫作『森林裡的哲學家』,他如果吃飽了就不太動,只會在樹上休息。像我們拍攝的時候,就很清楚的知道,如果他們不動,便很難找到,尤其是在密林裡面,所以很多時候真的都是在碰運氣。」他又說:「在東南亞山區,進到雨林就有很多螞蝗,離開時常常有二、三十隻在你身上,吸你的血,讓你血流不止。」他認為在山區拍攝,要喜歡爬山、有體力並且喜歡在野外的生活,才能夠克服大自然的挑戰。

我們總想要保護自己,沒有去想到做的其實是在危害他人家園,最終自身還是不能倖免,生態環境的問題可能越演越烈。這片子拍的是很多台灣人共同的記憶,柯金源希望把這些現象用影片呈現讓大家有新的思考和討論,對生活在台灣的物種能有更多的關注。

青年非典工運



台灣的青年貧窮化問題,讓一群學生毅然投入勞工運動

「青年九五聯盟」的成立,點燃了一場截然不同的工運火花…
2004年,國內勞工運動出現一批年輕的學生面孔,他們沒有五四運動的激昂,也沒有野百合學運的悲壯,他們倡議的內容很生活化,只想凸顯這個世代青年貧窮化問題,同時爭取讓年輕人可以繼續生活下去。有別於傳統勞工運動上街頭的激情,青年九五聯盟將年輕人的活潑創意融入行動裡,很快在社運界打響知名度,來找他們求助的對象,也從打工的學生,擴大到社會各階層。

Epstein: None of the measures being considered will end "too big to fail"

Wolfram Alpha




While walking around the conference floor during SXSW recently, I happened across the Wolfram Alpha booth. Their long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. Wolfram Alpha's goal is to deliver to you answers that are definitive. It has an amazing inventory of numbers and facts known in the world. It has an engine on top of that which allows it to make new calculated facts based on that already-known information.

Omar Ahmad: Political change with pen and paper




About this talk

Politicians are strange creatures, says politician Omar Ahmad. And the best way to engage them on your pet issue is a monthly handwritten letter. Ahmad shows why old-fashioned correspondence is more effective than email, phone or even writing a check -- and shares the four simple steps to writing a letter that works.

One of the things that defines a TEDster is you've taken your passion, and you've turned it into stewardship. You actually put action to the issues you care about. But what you're going to find eventually is you may need to actually get elected officials to help you out. So, how do you do that?

One of the things I should probably tell you is, I worked for the Discovery Channel early in my career, and that sort of warped my framework. So, when you start to think about politicians, you've got to realize these are strange creatures. Other than the fact that they can't tell directions, and they have very strange breeding habits, how do you actually work with these things? What we need to understand is: What drives the political creature? And there are two things that are primary in a politician's heart. One, is reputation and influence. These are the primary tools by which a politician can do his job. The second one, unlike most animals, which is survival of the species, this is preservation of self. Now you may think it's money, but that's actually sort of a proxy to what I can do to preserve myself.

Now, the challenge with you moving your issue forward is these animals are getting broadcast to all the time. So, what doesn't work, in terms of getting your issue to be important? You can send them an email. Well, unfortunately, I've got so many Viagra ads coming at me, your email is lost. It doesn't matter, it's spam. How about you get on the phone? Well, chances are I've got a droid who's picking up the phone, "Yes, they called, and they said they didn't like it." That doesn't move. Face to face would work, but it's hard to set it up. It's hard to get the context and actually get the communication to work. Yes, contributions actually do make a difference, and they set a context for having a conversation, but it takes some time to build up.

So what actually works? And the answer is rather strange. It's a letter. We live in a digital world, but we're fairly analog creatures. Letters actually work. Even the top dog himself takes time every day to read 10 letters that are picked out by staff. I can tell you that every official that I've ever worked with will tell you about the letters they get and what they mean. So, how are you going to write your letter? First of all, you're going to pick up an analog device, a pen. I know these are tough, and you may have a hard time getting your hand bent around it, but this is actually critical. And it is critical that you actually hand write your letter. It is so novel to see this, that somebody actually picked up an analog device and has written to me. Second of all, I'm going to recommend that you get into a proactive stance and write to your elected officials at least once a month. Here's my promise to you. If you are consistent and do this, within three months the elected official will start calling you when that issue comes up, and says, "What do you think?"

Now, I'm going to give you a four paragraph format to work with. Now, when you approach these animals, you need to understand, there's a dangerous end to them, and you also need to approach them with some level of respect and a little bit of wariness. So in paragraph number one, what I'm going to tell you to do is very simply this: You appreciate them. You may not appreciate the person, you may not appreciate anything else, but maybe you appreciate the fact that they got a tough gig. When animals are going to make a point, they make the point. They don't spend a lot of time dicking around. So, here you go. Paragraph number two, you may actually have to get very blunt and say what's really on your mind. When you do this, don't attack people, you attack tactics. Ad hominem attacks will get you nowhere. Paragraph number three: When animals are attacked or cornered, they will fight to the death, so you have to give them an exit. Most of the time, if they have an exit strategy, they should take it. Obviously, you're intelligent. If you had the right information, you would have done the right thing. Lastly, you want to be the nurturing agent. You're the safe place to come in to. So, in paragraph number four, you're going to tell people, "If no one is providing you with this information, let me help."

Animals do displays. They do two things. They warn you or they try to attract you and say, "We need to mate." You're going to do that by the way you sign your letter. You do a number of things, you're a vice president, you volunteer, you do something else. Why is is this important? Because this establishes the two primary criteria for the political creature, that you have influence in a large sphere, and that my preservation depends on you.

Here is one very quick hack, especially for the feds in the audience. Here's how you mail your letter. First of all, you send the original to the district office, so you send the copy to the main office. If they follow protocol, they'll pick up the phone and say, "Do you have the original?" Then some droid in the back puts the name on a tick bar and says, "Oh, this is an important letter." And you actually get into the folder that the elected official actually has to read.

So, what your letter means? I've got to tell you, we are all in a party, and political officials are the pinatas. (Laughter) We are harangued, lectured to, sold, marketed, but a letter is actually one of the few times that we have honest communication. I got this letter when I was first elected, and I still carry it to every council meeting I go to. This is an opportunity at real dialogue. And if you have stewardship and want to communicate, that dialogue is incredibly powerful. So when you do that, here's what I can promise: You're going to be the 800 pound gorilla in the forest.

Get writing.

(Applause)

Tom Wujec: Build a tower, build a team



About this talk

Tom Wujec presents some surprisingly deep research into the "marshmallow problem" -- a simple team-building exercise that involves dry spaghetti, one yard of tape and a marshmallow. Who can build the tallest tower with these ingredients? And why does a surprising group always beat the average?


Several years ago, here at TED, Peter Skillman introduced a design challenge called the marshmallow challenge. And the idea's pretty simple. Teams of four have to build the tallest free-standing structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string and a marshmallow. The marshmallow has to be on top. And, though it seems really simple, it's actually pretty hard, because it forces people to collaborate very quickly. And so I thought that this was an interesting idea, and I incorporated it into a design workshop. And it was a huge success. And since then, I've conducted about 70 design workshops across the world with students and designers and architects, even the CTOs of the Fortune 50, and they're something about this exercise that reveals very deep lessons about the nature of collaboration, and I'd like to share some of them with you.

So, normally, most people begin by orienting themselves to the task. They talk about it, they figure out what it's going to look like, they jockey for power, then they spend some time planning, organizing. They sketch in and they lay out spaghetti They spend the majority of their time assembling the sticks into ever-growing structures and then, finally, just as they're running out of time, someone takes out the marshmallow, and then they gingerly put it on top, and then they stand back, and Ta-da! they admire their work. But what really happens, most of the time, is that the "ta-da" turns into an "uh-oh," because the weight of the marshmallow causes the entire structure to buckle and to collapse.

So there are a number of people who have a lot more "uh-oh" moments than others, and among the worst are recent graduates of business school. (Laughter) They lie, they cheat, they get distracted, and they produce really lame structures. And of course there are teams that have a lot more "ta-da" structures, and, among the best, are recent graduates of kindergarten. (Laughter) And it's pretty amazing. As Peter tells us, not only do they produce the tallest structures, but they're the most interesting structures of them all.

So the question you want to ask is: How come? Why? What is it about them? And Peter likes to say that, "None of the kids spend any time trying to be CEO of Spaghetti Inc." Right. They don't spend time jockeying for power. But there's another reason as well. And the reason is that business students are trained to find the single right plan, right. And then they execute on it. And then what happens is, when they put the marshmallow on the top, they run out of time, and what happens? It's a crisis. Sound familiar? Right. What kindergarteners do differently, is that they start with the marshmallow, and they build prototypes, successive prototypes, always keeping the marshmallow on top, so they have multiple times to fix ill built prototypes along the way. So designers recognize this type of collaboration as the essence of the iterative process. And with each version, kids get instant feedback about what works and what doesn't work.

So the capacity to play in prototype is really essential, but let's look at how different teams perform. So the average for most people is around 20 inches, business schools students, about half of that, lawyers, a little better, but not much better than that, kindergarteners, better than most adults. Who does the very best? Architects and engineers, thankfully. (Laughter) 39 inches is the tallest structure I've seen. And why is it? Because they understand triangles and self-re-enforcing geometrical patterns are the key to building stable structures. So CEOs, a little bit better than average. But here's where it gets interesting. If you put you put an executive admin. on the team, they get significantly better. (Laughter) It's incredible. You know, you look around, you go, "Oh, that team's going to win." You can just tell beforehand. And why is that? Because they have special skills of facilitation. They manage the process, they understand the process. And any team who manages and pays a close attention to work will significantly improve the team's performance. Specialized skills and facilitation skills, and the combination leads to strong success. If you have 10 teams that typically perform, you'll get maybe six or so that have standing structures.

And I tried something interesting. I thought, let's up the ante once. So I offered a 10,000 dollar prize of software to the winning team. So what do you think happened to these design students? What was the result? Here's what happened. Not one team had a standing structure. If anyone had built, say, a one inch structure, they could have taken home the prize. So, isn't it interesting that high stakes have a strong impact. We did the exercise again with the same students. What do you think happened then? So now they understand the value of prototyping. So the same team went from being the very worst to being among the very best. They produced the tallest structures in the least amount of time. So there's deep lessons for us about the nature of incentives and success.

So, you might ask: Why would anyone actually spend time writing a marshmallow challenge? And the reason is, I help create digital tools and processes to help teams build cars and video games and visual effects. And what the marshmallow challenge does is it helps them identify the hidden assumptions. Because, frankly, every project has its own marshmallow, doesn't it. The challenge provides a shared experience, a common language, common stance to build the right prototype. And so, this is the value of the experience, of this so simple exercise.

And those of you who are interested, may want to go to marshmallowchallenge.com. It's a blog that you can look at how to build the marshmallows. There's step-by-step instructions on this. There are crazy examples from around the world of how people tweak and adjust the system. There's world records on this as well.

And the fundamental lesson, I believe, is that design truly is a contact sport. It demands that we bring all of our senses to the task, and that we apply the very best of our thinking, our feeling and our doing to the challenge that we have at hand. And, sometimes, a little prototype of this experience is all that it takes to turn us from an "uh-oh" moment to a "ta-da" moment. And that can make a big difference.

Thank you very much.

(Applause)

Stephen Wolfram: Computing a theory of everything



About this talk

Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica, talks about his quest to make all knowledge computational -- able to be searched, processed and manipulated. His new search engine, Wolfram Alpha, has no lesser goal than to model and explain the physics underlying the universe.

Why you should listen to him:


Stephen Wolfram published his first scientific paper at the age of 15, and received his PhD in theoretical physics from Caltech by the age of 20. Having started to use computers in 1973, Wolfram rapidly became a leader in the emerging field of scientific computing.

In 1981 Wolfram became the youngest recipient of a MacArthur Prize Fellowship. He then set out on an ambitious new direction in science aimed at understanding the origins of complexity in nature. Wolfram's first key idea was to use computer experiments to study the behavior of simple computer programs known as cellular automata. This allowed him to make a series of startling discoveries about the origins of complexity.

Wolfram founded the first research center and the first journal in the field, Complex Systems, and began the development of Mathematica. Wolfram Research soon became a world leader in the software industry -- widely recognized for excellence in both technology and business.

Following the release of Mathematica Version 2 in 1991, Wolfram began to divide his time between Mathematica development and scientific research. Building on his work from the mid-1980s, and now with Mathematica as a tool, Wolfram made a rapid succession of major new discoveries, which he described in his book, A New Kind of Science.

Building on Mathematica, A New Kind of Science, and the success of Wolfram Research, Wolfram recently launched Wolfram|Alpha -- an ambitious, long-term project to make as much of the world's knowledge as possible computable, and accessible to everyone.
"Whether or not Wolfram's revolution ultimately gives us the keys to the universe, his new science is absolutely awe-inspiring."

Documentary: China’s New Faces Marrying into Her Family



Documentary: China’s New Faces Marrying into Her Family

This documentary film investigates a Chinese tradition’s change in Zhejiang province – men from other provinces marrying into women’s families in Zhejiang. Beside longing for love, young people in Zhejiang think realistically to pursue a win-win situation: a woman wants new hope and energy to safeguard her family’s future, in the meantime a man doesn’t have to worry about the housing pressure while developing his career. The film concludes that such a phenomenon is the result of the One-child Policy, the fast growing economy in Zhejiang, and the strong sense of lineage continuity. From Youtube:
The one-child policy has left some families with only one daughter. Feeling the need to carry on their family lineage, women now look for men who are willing to marry into their families so that their children could take up the mother’s surname. Meanwhile, men from other provinces are finding it hard to make ends meet in the cities, not to mention supporting a family. Because of this, some men are willing to do what it takes for a better life. With supply and demand in place, matchmaking agencies dedicated to this type of marriage are a thriving business.







990418part-1看見府城未來! 尋找大台南願景?!



民進黨大台南市長初選,4月18日舉行電視政見會,有意參選的許添財、蘇煥智、賴清德、葉宜津及李俊毅在會中,都將提出政見與大台南未來發展的遠景。

今年大台南市長選舉,藍營遲遲提不出適當的候選人,反而綠營在地的精銳盡出,民進黨的初選內戰,甚至被視為市長選舉的決定戰,綠營誰能出線,就幾乎確定未來台南市呼聲最高的市長人選。這次的政見發表會,不只是民進黨內的初選活動,更攸關大台南未來市政發展的政策發表。尤其不只綠營,大部分的台南人都希望民進黨的初選,不應該只是選舉口水戰,希望能透過政策辯論,討論出未來大台南的發展。我們該用什麼方式看待這場初選政見會?距離民進黨初選民調還有一個多月時間,這些政治人物能否提出大台南發展的遠景?而這些遠景,只是為了選票?或是大台南的規劃?人民要如何解讀這些政見?


除了選舉政見之外,縣市合併還有許多重要的議題,包括行政區劃、城鄉規劃、財政問題等等,需要未來的台南市長處理。目前台南縣市合併的效益與問題,民眾了解了嗎?台南縣擔心未來可能被邊緣化,台南市擔心城鄉的落差,阻礙都會的發展;兩個縣市的舉債都臨界上限,未來直轄市的自付財務還會更嚴峻,候選人只提縣市合併的優點,卻忽略了合併之後的龐大問題。人民要從哪些觀點,好好瞭解大台南合併的機會和隱憂?如何檢視候選人的政見?是芭樂票?

尤其大台南在台灣國土利用的定位在哪?和其他都市的競合關係為何?南部有兩大直轄市,高雄和台南要如何重振南部的經濟、文化?面對中國的城市崛起,台南在兩岸,甚至全球的都市競爭中,可以扮演什麼角色?文化立都的承諾,如何達成?農業大縣的成就,如何延續?我們對於大台南市,可以有什麼願景?大台南,可以為台灣未來的發展,帶來什麼機會?

韩寒为何这么火
































北二高大走山 空拍畫面怵目驚心

影片新聞來源:
華視

國道3號近基隆路段今(25)日下午2時33分傳出山崩意外,靠近瑪陵坑七堵路段整片山壁突然崩落在道路上,造成雙向車道封閉,空勤隊的空拍畫面令人怵目驚心,相關單位正展開救援;據基隆市長張通榮表示,有目擊民眾告訴他,可能有2、3輛車遭活埋。

這起意外發生的十分突然,因為今日沒有下雨,也沒有地震,卻發生嚴重的走山情況,正在進行辯論的馬總統第一時間知道狀況,立即指示副閣揆前往現場指揮救災。

坍方的路段範圍涵蓋南下3.1公里到北上2.8公里處,土石覆蓋雙向路面的長度達300公尺;據了解,當時約10層樓高的山壁坍塌,有將近五層樓的黃土直接蓋在南北雙向車道,山壁上橫跨北二高的還有一條大埔人行跨越道也一併坍塌。

有一名民眾事發當時正好開車經過,還好及時煞車,車子雖然被大石塊砸到,但幸好人沒有受傷;根據基隆市長張通榮轉述,這位民眾說,當時前方仍有看到2、3輛車行駛在前方,以坍塌的總範圍計算,恐怕有車輛遭土石堆活埋。

軍方目前已經派出留守兵力到現場協助救援,陸軍五三工兵群已在第一時間調動2台35噸板車,以及2部20噸的挖土機趕往現場;陸軍六軍團也立刻調派100名兵力,由指揮官帶隊前往救援。

另外,空勤隊緊急出動救援,希望查明是否有人員受困其中;由於坍方影響,造成國道三號基隆路段大量回堵,民眾最好改走中山高,避開坍方路段。

央行總裁彭淮南質疑鄉林建設每坪300萬元高行情,和實際交易不一,恐怕有炒樓嫌疑。1坪300萬?房價胡亂炒!

行政院長吳敦義指出高房價不老實。 究竟是單一個案,還是普遍現象?




央行出手,投資客退避三舍?


為了抑制房價,央行決定從本周開始,積極對八、九家公民營行庫、展開房貸專案檢查,要求銀行針對第二棟房貸成數要控制在七成,外界解讀說這是央行在打壓房市?總裁彭淮南卻不這麼認為。





彭總裁出手!投資客見血?央行這次玩真的?



房價飆高,惡性循環,兩岸同景況:


對岸的上海、北京也正面臨高房價問題。學者雖然建議政府在銀行放貸政策上可以參考中國的做法,只是,中國為了房市炒作過熱,從緊縮個人貸款,到現在又提出建商必須要提供完整的待售屋數及價格,就是要避免建商故意屯積造成房市價格一日三變,中國政府動作一出手,中國房市投資客開始拋售,連累了中國股市,台灣股市也受到衝擊,跌破了八千點。



兩岸說得比做的多?老共這次玩真的?


哄抬價格,還是有人買!


大家都瘋了?為何還是有人買?房屋買賣程序如何進行?有可能讓交易價格公開透明化嗎?怎麼估房價?建商.仲介.投資客到底有多大的炒作空間?房仲網頁上的成交行情可信嗎?



避免泡沫危機,抑制房價,政府祭出多項措施,但是要在都市置產,小老百姓還是望樓興嘆。越打房越飆漲?政府真的無力可施?殺手鐧選擇性信用,政府為何不敢?用了會怎樣?政府穩定房價政策成效還是有待時間來驗證。

冰島南部艾雅法拉冰川下火山14號第二次爆發,冰川融解後引發洪水,迫使數百位居民必須撤離家園,火山灰嚴重影響飛航安全,歐洲30機場全面關閉,旅客滯留,航空業損失鉅大。




冰島艾雅法拉火山爆發!歐洲大混亂!


艾雅法拉山從三月二十號開始噴發出來的岩漿,直衝4000公尺的高空。還把冰河融出一道大約500公尺長的裂縫。沉寂了兩百年的艾雅法拉火山宣告復活,而且噴發的濃度越來越密,不到一個月,4月14號,艾雅法拉火山再度大爆發,濃煙跟蒸氣直竄天際達8000公尺,景象更驚人。


冰川之下有火山!?


火山的高溫已讓艾雅法拉冰川,部分面積開始融化,造成下游河川水位暴漲所幸沒有造成人員傷亡。冰島撤離超過800位居民。專家指出,這次的爆發威力,是上個月爆發的10到20倍,爆發產生的火山裂縫長達兩公里。




火山灰瀰漫!


火山爆發噴出的火山煙塵,在一萬公尺的高空形成壯觀的蕈狀雲,在強風吹襲之下,往西歐各國飄散。由於火山灰內含有礦石、玻璃和沙塵等微粒,對民航機相當具有嚴重殺傷力,全歐洲空中交通宣告大癱瘓,歐洲取消超過上萬架次的航班。

火山的噴發物(岩漿、火山灰…)會製造哪些問題?火山活動對自然環境和人類生活將產生哪些影響?



歐洲交通運輸受創情形?歐洲現況如何?民眾生活受損?民眾怎麼看待災害,會不會有2010的聯想?



機場、回不來怎麼辦?遇到這種事,遊客可以怎麼辦?哪裡可以幫忙?現在台灣困在歐洲的旅客怎麼辦?



不過是飛機不能飛而已?再持續下去,對經濟或其他層面會有何傷害?航空業1天損失2億美金?會不會導致歐洲整體經濟受重傷?


火山活動進入頻繁期?


為何艾雅法拉火山在近200年後再爆發?版塊運動?地震導致火山爆發?與近來大地震有什麼樣的關連?板塊活動已經進入頻繁期?火山40-80年爆發一次?火山運動的週期性?



位於太平洋島鏈上的台灣,火山與板塊運動情形又是如何?台灣也有一大堆火山?台灣的火山會爆發嗎?





台灣鳥松、燕巢、泥漿噴發,泥漿、岩漿與火山之間的關係?百年泥漿大噴發,大地震就要來了?學理上有道理嗎? 地底的奧秘深不可測,科學也難以全面判讀。
