• 回顧星期天LBS - 非洲時事趣聞 All about Africa
    Nov 15 2025
    逐字稿如下: Topic: Are African Artifacts Safer in Europe? 非洲文物在歐洲更安全? Is Africa's cultural heritage better off in Europe or in Africa? 非洲的文化遺產存放在歐洲或非洲,何者比較好呢? That is the question at the heart of a yearslong debate that has gripped museums in Europe, where many officials say they support the idea of repatriating artifacts, but worry that African museums cannot compare to state-of-the-art facilities in Britain, France or Germany. 這正是歐洲博物館界討論多年的問題的核心,許多歐洲博物館的管理階層表示,他們贊成應把文物送回非洲的想法,卻又擔心非洲各地博物館不具備英、法或德國那些先進博物館的的條件。 That debate has been given new life in recent months after an investigation by the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper found that many of the artifacts that will be on display in the Humboldt Forum, a huge new museum under construction in a rebuilt Berlin palace, had for years been stored in less-than-ideal conditions. The report featured searing depictions of flooded storage rooms and depots choked with toxic dust. 最近幾個月,這場討論再度熱絡起來,因為南德意志報調查後發現,預定在「洪堡論壇」展出的文物之中,許多已存放在不盡理想的環境下多年。洪堡論壇是興建中規模宏大的新博物館,將位在柏林一座重建的宮殿內。這篇報導對那些文物的存放室淹水,庫房覆滿有毒灰塵,作了特別尖刻地描述。 The Humboldt Forum will bring together the collections of several existing museums in the city under one roof, but reports in German news media have focused on the storage facilities of the Ethnological Museum of Berlin, which will be the Forum's largest single contributor. 洪堡論壇將把柏林幾座現有博物館的藏品集中在一起,不過德國新聞媒體的報導著重在柏林民族學博物館的庫房。這座博物館將是洪堡論壇展品的最大提供者。 Officials at the museum, which closed to the public in 2017 to prepare for the move to its new home, have responded with what observers call an unusual degree of openness. 民族學博物館2017年起停止對外開放,好準備搬新家。館方回應外界質疑的態度十分開放透明,開放程度之高觀察家以異乎尋常形容。 They have denied some of the reports, in particular the claim of flooded storerooms, but said their depots were beset with problems common to museums across Germany. Those included outdated facilities, a lack of staff members, and a sense of disarray that dates to moments of crisis in German history. 館方否認報導中的某些部分,尤其是庫房淹水,不過他們說,倉庫發生的問題在德國各地博物館都很常見,包括設施陳舊、人手不足和擺放方式雜亂,這些問題從德國歷史上那些動盪時期以來就一直存在。 Despite all that, they steadfastly rejected that those conditions might call into question their stewardship of the artifacts, many of which were collected during the era of European imperialism. 雖然倉庫有這些問題,但館方堅決否認這些問題意味著管理不善。倉庫內許多文物是在歐洲帝國主義時期收集而來。 Sindika Dokolo, a Congolese art collector who runs a foundation that has organized the return of artifacts to Congo and Angola, said it was true that "a whole generation" of museum professionals, like curators and conservationists, needed to be trained "in most of the African countries." But while that new generation was being trained, he said, it is European museums' responsibility to make sure African audiences had access to the artifacts in their possession. 剛果藝品收藏家多克洛管理一個基金會,在這個基金會安排下已有一些文物送回剛果和安哥拉。多克洛說,「多數非洲國家」的確有必要訓練「一整個世代的」博物館專業人員,如策展人和文物修復師。不過他說,在非洲訓練這個新世代的同時,歐洲博物館有責任確保非洲的文物愛好者能看到歐洲握有的非洲文物。 It is up to them to create the conditions that would let African artifacts "play their role where they need to be right now, in Africa," he added. 多克洛說,歐洲博物館有責任創造條件,讓非洲文物「在非洲當下需要的地方發揮作用」。 Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/345221/web/ Next Article Topic: Neanderthal genes found for first time in African populations African populations have been revealed to share Neanderthal ancestry for the first time, in findings that add a new twist to the tale of ancient humans and our closest known relatives. 非洲的人類族群首度被科學家揭露帶有尼安德塔人的血統。這項發現為古代人類和尼安德塔人──與我們血緣最相近的親戚物種─...

L092: Samsung Enters XR Market Race Highlights 主題摘要Samsung launched Galaxy XR at $1,800, half the price of Apple's $3,500 Vision Pro headset.The device features 29 million pixels and weighs just 545 grams, lighter than Vision Pro.Running Android XR, it integrates Google Maps, YouTube, and Gemini AI for immersive experiences. Samsung unveiled its Galaxy XR headset at $1,800, directly challenging Apple's $3,500 Vision Pro. The pricing positions Samsung between Meta's $499 Quest 3 and Apple's premium offering. Available now in the United States and South Korea, Galaxy XR runs on Google's Android XR operating system with Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 chipset. Early buyers receive an Explorer Pack including 12 months of Google AI Pro, YouTube Premium, and NBA League Pass access. The launch marks Samsung's ambitious entry into extended reality technology. 三星發表 Galaxy XR 頭戴裝置,售價 1,800 美元,直接挑戰蘋果 3,500 美元的 Vision Pro。此定價讓三星介於 Meta 499 美元的 Quest 3 與蘋果高階產品之間。Galaxy XR 現已在美國和南韓開賣,採用 Google 的 Android XR 作業系統,搭載高通 Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 晶片。早鳥買家將獲得探索者禮包,內含 12 個月的 Google AI Pro、YouTube Premium 和 NBA League Pass 觀賞權。此次發表標誌著三星大舉進軍延展實境科技的領域。 Galaxy XR delivers impressive specifications that surpass Apple in key areas. Its micro OLED displays feature 29 million pixels with 4,032 pixels per inch (PPI), exceeding Vision Pro's 3,386 PPI for sharper visuals. At 545 grams, it's lighter than Apple's 600-gram headset, with weight distributed ergonomically to reduce facial pressure. However, Apple maintains advantages with Vision Pro's 120Hz refresh rate versus Galaxy XR's 90Hz, and its M5 computer chip provides substantially more processing power than mobile-oriented processors. Galaxy XR 提供令人驚豔的規格,在關鍵領域超越蘋果。其微型 OLED 螢幕具備 2,900 萬畫素,每英吋 4,032 畫素,超越 Vision Pro 的 3,386 PPI,呈現更銳利的視覺效果。重量僅 545 公克,比蘋果的 600 公克頭戴裝置更輕,重量符合人體工學地分散以減輕臉部壓力。不過蘋果仍保有優勢,Vision Pro 的 120Hz 更新率高於 Galaxy XR 的 90Hz,且其 M5 電腦晶片提供的處理效能遠勝過行動裝置導向的處理器。 Samsung's partnership with Google brings distinctive software capabilities. Users interact with Gemini AI to navigate immersive 3D Google Maps, discover YouTube content conversationally, and convert photos into three-dimensional experiences. Pass-through mode allows hand gestures to circle real-world objects for instant information. The headset supports multitasking with multiple apps at customizable sizes. Major streaming services including Crunchyroll, HBO Max, and Peacock have optimized their platforms for Android XR. 三星與 Google 的合作帶來獨特的軟體功能。使用者能透過 Gemini AI 探索沉浸式 3D Google 地圖、以對話方式探索 YouTube 內容,並將照片轉換成立體體驗。穿透模式讓使用者能用手勢在真實物體周圍畫圈,立即擷取資訊。該頭戴裝置支援多工處理,以自訂大小同時操作多個應用程式。包括 Crunchyroll、HBO Max 和 Peacock 在內的主流串流服務都已針對 Android XR 最佳化平台。 Galaxy XR's launch intensifies competition in the mixed reality market currently dominated by Meta's Quest series. While Meta captures mainstream audiences with affordability and Apple established a premium niche, Samsung fills the middle ground with advanced specifications at accessible pricing. These headsets face similar battery limitations, providing roughly two hours of general use with external packs. As Android XR becomes available to other manufacturers, Samsung's early partnership with Google may prove crucial in capturing market share and defining standards for next-generation extended...

  • 回顧星期天LBS - 加拿大時事趣聞 All about Canada
    Nov 8 2025
    逐字稿如下: Topic: Calgary Zoo returning pandas to China due to bamboo barriers The Calgary Zoo will be returning two giant pandas on loan from China because a scarcity of flights due to COVID-19 has caused problems with getting enough bamboo to feed them. Er Shun and Da Mao arrived in Canada in 2014 as part of a 10-year agreement between Canada and China. After spending five years at the Toronto Zoo, the two adult giant pandas arrived at the Calgary Zoo in March 2018 with cubs Jia Panpan and Jia Yueyue. 加拿大卡加利動物園將歸還從中國借來的兩隻貓熊,因為武漢肺炎所造成的航班稀缺,沒辦法運來足夠的竹子來餵養貓熊。加拿大和中國簽署了一份為期十年的協議,貓熊二順與大毛便在二○一四來到了加拿大。牠們在多倫多動物園待了五年,後來這兩隻貓熊和牠們所生的小貓熊加盼盼和加悅悅一起到了卡加利動物園。 The zoo's president, Clement Lanthier, said last week the facility spent months trying to overcome transportation barriers in acquiring fresh bamboo and decided it's best for the animals to be in China, where their main food source is abundant. 卡加利動物園園長克萊蒙‧蘭提耶上週表示,園方花了數月的時間嘗試解決新鮮竹子的運補問題,後來做出結論——對這些貓熊來說,待在中國是最好的,因為在中國,牠們有充裕的主食來源。 "It's about the animals. At the end of the day, we cannot pretend that we care for animals if we don't take those tough decisions," Lanthier said. "We believe the best and safest place for Er Shun and Da Mao to be during these challenging and unprecedented times is where bamboo is abundant and easy to access." Lanthier said the zoo had contingency plans for a steady supply of fresh bamboo, but limits on flights from China was the first problem. Transporting more from California added even more frustrations. "Every week, every 10 days there is more and more problem moving bamboo to Calgary. This risk is unacceptable. We don't feel comfortable at all that we can impose that risk on the health and the welfare of the pandas." According to Lanthier, the animals didn't like some kinds of bamboo and other supplies that arrived were past their expiry point. 「這是為了動物著想。畢竟,我們如果不做出這艱難的決定,就不能假裝我們是愛護動物的」,蘭提耶說。「我們相信,在這充滿挑戰及不可預見情況的時期,對二順和大毛來說最理想、最安全的地方,就是竹子充裕且容易取得的地方」。蘭提耶表示,卡加利動物園有確保新鮮竹子穩定供應的應變計畫,但第一個問題是,來自中國的航班受到限縮。從加州運多些竹子來,就更令人挫折。「每過一週、十天,運竹子到卡加利所要面臨的問題就越來越多。這種風險是無法接受的。我們一點都不願意給貓熊的健康與福祉帶來這種風險」。蘭提耶說,貓熊不喜歡吃某些品種的竹子,以及運達時已過期的其他補給品。 Giant pandas have unique nutritional requirements and 99 percent of their diet is made up of fresh bamboo. Each adult consumes about 40kg daily. Lanthier said the news came as a bit of a shock to the Chinese government. In other locations where pandas are exhibited — such as France, Spain and parts of Asia — bamboo can be grown locally. 貓熊有獨特的營養需求,新鮮竹子佔了貓熊飲食的百分之九十九。每隻成年貓熊每天要吃大約四十公斤的竹子。蘭提耶說,決定送還貓熊的消息令中國政府感到震驚。在其他展示貓熊的地方——例如法國、西班牙和一些亞洲地區——當地都可以種植竹子。 He said the pandas had been one of the biggest draws at the Calgary Zoo, but the decision wasn't one about business. "It's based on animal welfare. I cannot imagine if one day, two days, three days in a row I am unable to provide the bamboo. That would be catastrophic." There's no date for when the pandas will return home. Lanthier doesn't want the Canadian and Chinese governments to delay things. "We need the federal government and the Chinese government to expedite the permit process, so we can move them back to where this risk of not getting their next meal will be managed differently," he said. 他說,貓熊是卡加利動物園吸引遊客的最大賣點之一,但送還貓熊這個決定跟生意無關。「這是基於動物的福利。我不能想像如果連續一天、兩天、三天無法提供竹子。那會很悲慘」。貓熊送回中國的日期尚未確定。蘭提耶不希望加拿大和中國政府拖延此事。他說:「我們需要聯邦政府和中國政府加快許可證辦理程序,以便我們將貓熊運送到不用擔心下一餐沒著落的地方」。 Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2020/05/19/2003736635 ...

John老師說:「這就是shadowing的一部分!你不能只聽老師念,你要跟著念出來,retention才會高!」 重點: 從被動接收到主動模仿,保留率瞬間從5%跳到30%! 💬 第五層:小組討論 Discussion Group - 保留率 50% 一半了!透過小組討論,有人示範、有人質疑、大家交換意見(input and output),記憶就能保留一半。 實用建議: 把家裡變成討論小組!和家人朋友討論今天學到的單字、話題,保留率立刻提升到50%。 🏃 第六層:實際操作 Practice by Doing - 保留率 75% 不是在保護傘下練習,而是真正上場!出國抓著人聊天、真的寫email(不用ChatGPT)、去飲料店打工做飲料...... 阿鍵老師說:「光看飲料譜可能記不得,但做了幾杯之後就記下來了!」 重點: Learning by doing, learning by failing fast! 這是體感記憶,75%都會留下來。 👨‍🎓 第七層(金字塔底部):教導他人 Teaching Others - 保留率 90%! 這就是費曼技巧(Feynman Technique)! 物理天才Richard Feynman說:「如果你能把專業知識簡化到讓7歲小朋友聽懂,你就是專家!」 為什麼這麼有效?逼迫你徹底理解內容需要拆解複雜概念從學習者轉換成教導者的mindset不是無腦聽、無腦讀,而是思考「我要怎麼教別人」💡 關鍵洞察:主動 vs 被動學習 John老師預告下集內容:「這七層其實可以分成兩大類——被動學習和主動學習。」 🎯 給15Mins Family的挑戰 John老師說:「今年想要更挑戰自己的話,從discussion groups和teaching others開始!想辦法教導別人、分享給更多人,你的retention就會更高。」 實際行動建議: ✅ 不要只聽Podcast → 聽完後跟朋友討論內容(50%) ✅ 不要只背單字 → 用新單字造句給家人聽(50%) ✅ 不要只看影片 → 看完後模仿念出來(30%) ✅ 不要只做筆記 → 試著把今天學的教給別人(90%) ✅ 改變mindset → 從「我在學」變成「我要教別人」 🧠 破解記憶力迷思 迷思1: 「我年紀大了,記不住了。」 真相: 不是年紀問題,是方法問題!用對方法,90%都能記住。 迷思2: 「我很認真聽課/看書,為什麼還是記不住?」 真相: ...
