title: The back-to-school blues are here — for parents

content_text:
School in the US does not begin again for a few weeks, but you would not know it looking at my phone. These days, returning to the classroom seems to involve more homework for parents than for students.

Weeks before my child has been assigned a teacher or seen a syllabus, we are fielding an invite for a weekend kindergarten campout. We are buying new school shoes and uniforms. Signing up for piano, dance and baseball. And do not forget end-of-summer grade-level parties. And new class welcome parties. And the evening events for parents.

I am sure my children will easily start waking up at 6:45am again.

Is anyone else ready to cry uncle? No? Everyone else is doing OK?

Me too, of course.

Don’t get me wrong. The rhythm of the school year promises a structure and a schedule that I cherish and miss in the chaos of summer. It brings friends and community back together after summer’s separate ways.

However, the transition brings its share of stress, too.

Wondering if this is just American madness, I asked my new British friends if they find parenting and school schedules this intense. I was both frustrated and relieved to hear them say: “Yes.”

They too have Pajama Day and Crazy Socks Day. They too face homework projects that consume much more parental time than that of the student — printing off ancient photographs to help a kindergartener make an elaborate family tree. They too have wine moms (“mums”) and midcareer mothers trying to juggle corporate travel and school snacks.

In other words, there is no escaping the hustle that is modern parenting.

It has me wishing two things:

First, I desperately wish we could call a collective truce and agree that less is more. Enough of the arms race of parties and get-togethers, and “fun” activities that involve the parents as much as the children. I love my children, really I do, but when they are at school, can they be at school without parental involvement, save for a spring recital?

Second, if we are going to put this much energy into school, might we instead put it into academic rigor? Over the years, very little of the parental stress I have experienced around the return to school is about academics. And I’m not saying this because my children are acing every class.

In my experience, much of the school hustle is not about learning. It is more about logistics — school events, coordinating schedules, social obligations and figuring out how, amid it all, the children will get carted to and fro.

Meanwhile, math levels in the US have dropped to a near two-decade low. Reading levels have fallen back to 1992 levels, according to the US National Assessment of Educational Progress, widely called “the nation’s report card.”

I would trade Spirit Week for more time spent reading full books, more spelling bees and math drills, and earlier language immersion.

After all, that is what school is for: children’s education.

When did it start feeling like it is more about project management for the parents?

I cannot remember my own parents setting foot on school grounds for anything other than a spring concert or an open house. They did not manage group texts, sign up for weekend campouts or go to school auctions. They did not need to monitor homework — first and foremost because it was not on a screen connected to the Internet so we could do it alone in our rooms.

No wonder, according to the Pew Research Center, 62 percent of parents believe that parenting is more difficult than they thought it would be.

Perhaps, 11 years into my parenting journey, I have developed a case of senioritis. I am forever grateful to our dear school and the brave souls who volunteered as this year’s room reps. I know I should probably buy classroom birthday gifts in bulk to keep in a closet like I keep meaning to. Because when just about every child in the grade is going to have a birthday party and invite the entire class, and you have three kids, that is at least 75 parties. Add that to the back-to-school prep list, which already runs the average American family about US$900.

As a student, I always loved an honors program, but as a mother? Please, I will take a pass on the extra homework.

DUBIOUS DEFENDER: The US president, who received a made-up peace award from Infantino last year, took to social media to fire back at those baying for his blood

US President Donald Trump said on Monday it would be “a terrible mistake” to replace Gianni Infantino, the embattled FIFA president who tried, and failed, to sell off part of the World Cup to private investors.

Infantino came under renewed fire in an open letter signed by three confederations — Europe’s UEFA, North and Central America’s CONCACAF and Asia’s AFC — accusing the world soccer boss of breaking trust “through deception.”

Trump backed Infantino, who awarded the US president a “FIFA Peace Prize” at the World Cup draw ceremony last year.

“FIFA would be making a terrible mistake if, for any reason, they even considered replacing President Gianni Infantino,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

Trump said Infantino was “fantastic” and said he “presided over the most successful World Cup, by four times, ever presented.”

“If he is gone, it will never be as successful or profitable again!” added Trump, who attended the World Cup final with Infantino last month.

Trump’s backing of Infantino is at odds with US Soccer, who joined the voices lining up against the FIFA president.

Infantino launched, and then withdrew in the face of blistering criticism, a plan to bring private investment into FIFA competitions, including World Cups.

FIFA hit back on Saturday at efforts “to undermine” soccer’s governing body and Infantino. Monday’s joint letter from UEFA, CONCACAF and the AFC returned that with interest.

“Leadership in football is not a possession. It is not about holding — or demanding — power to be held,” it said. “When trust is broken through deception, when an individual places himself above the collective that entrusted him with authority, that duty has been abandoned.”

BOYCOTT THREAT

CONCACAF president Victor Montagliani is viewed as a possible challenger to Infantino, who is up for re-election for a fourth and final term at the FIFA Congress in March next year. Candidates have to be declared by November 18.

It seemed likely that Infantino would be unopposed as he ran for a fourth term after overseeing a successful World Cup in the US, Mexico and Canada until his plans were revealed.

The 56-year-old Swiss, who has been in situ for 10 years, has received the backing of the Confederation of African Football while South American governing body CONMEBOL is largely supportive.

Individual member associations, not confederations, vote in the FIFA election,

Infantino has received support from CONCACAF’s Mexico and two AFC members — Kuwait and 2022 World Cup hosts Qatar, where he has a house.

UEFA’s threat to boycott World Cups if the private investment plan went ahead was pivotal in Infantino withdrawing his sell-off plan.

UEFA had called it “a shabby, opaque, backroom deal” and lashed out at Infantino again on Monday for a “failure of judgement.”

After the furor, Infantino received “full support” of senior FIFA directors in an emergency meeting in Morocco last week, but the three confederations said that was meaningless.

The meeting, where “a select number of members of the FIFA Management Committee” were present, they said, “represents a continuation of the very pattern of conduct that brought us to this moment.”

“It is not the conduct of a custodian of the game, but of one who believes the game is answerable to him.” Infantino had been basking in the afterglow of the largest ever World Cup involving 48 teams until his plans divided the sport.

“The growth over the past decade has been real. But that progress was never the work of one individual,” the letter said. “It was the product of FIFA, the Confederations, the Member Associations, and the thousands of people who dedicate their lives to the game.”

“The expanded tournaments... were shared achievements, agreed together, delivered together,” it added.

Under Infantino’s leadership “there is silence where there should be accountability, distance where there should be openness,” they said.

“That is why we have taken this stance: not lightly and not alone, but together, and out of duty to the game we serve. “Football’s strength has always been its unity.”

WHITE-HOT SPOTLIGHT:  For US athletes, winning gold on home soil could be monumental, as many ‘retired’ athletes consider picking it up once again

For those who have competed — or nearly competed — under the Olympic rings, the fear of missing out the next time the Games beckon is real, regardless of the venue, regardless of the sport.

Athletes who try to run it back following a lengthy sabbatical or retirement is hardly new. The list is filled with famous names, from Mark Spitz to Michael Phelps, from Lindsey Vonn to Simone Biles.

Still, the steady drip is becoming more of a torrential flow as Los Angeles 2028 approaches. The pull of the Games combined with the chance to compete at home on the world stage under the white-hot spotlight only the Olympics provide is already proving too tempting to ignore for a generation of American stars who have won medal after medal on seemingly every other continent but their own.

Track icon Allyson Felix is mounting a return in her early 40s. Six-time Olympic medalist and 2020 Olympic gymnastics all-around champion Suni Lee announced last month she has started training for a shot at her third Games. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Jade Carey is back, winning the vault and finishing fifth in the all-around at the US championships over the weekend.

Asked how much of a factor the chance to compete on American soil played into her decision, Carey just smiled.

“I probably would have gone for it regardless,” said Carey, who will be 28 when the flame is lit at the Coliseum in Los Angeles, “but it does make it a little extra special that it’s in the US.”

Or maybe a lot more special. Oh, and conceivably a lot more lucrative too.

Olympic success at home can be life-changing

The media landscape has shifted dramatically since the 1996 Games in Atlanta. The rise of social media allows athletes to easily tell their stories directly to new audiences, and the ability to create and curate their own brand opens sponsorship opportunities that did not exist a generation ago.

Finding your way onto the medal stand at the Olympics anywhere in the world can make you a hero. Doing it in the US could turn you into a legend. Mary Lou Retton, Mike Eruzione and Kerri Strug know how that goes.

Longtime agent Sheryl Shade, whose list of clients over the last 30 years has included a “who’s who” of Olympians, from gymnasts Nastia Liukin and Shawn Johnson to soccer pioneer Mia Hamm and figure skater Tara Lipinski, called the opportunities for athletes to capitalize on success in Los Angeles “exponentially” greater than any Games that have come before.

“It’s going to be long-range too,” Shade said. “Because now it doesn’t end at the Olympic Games. That’s why LA is so important. This is about legacy.”

Look to “The Magnificent Seven” for proof. Three decades ago, the members of the 1996 US women’s Olympic gymnastics team walked onto the floor of the Georgia Dome for the team final as underdogs. They walked off it with gold medals around their necks, their lives forever altered.

“I mean, we all knew that was going to be special,” team captain Amanda Borden said.

Even if they had no idea how special at the time. While the group, all teenagers that summer, eventually retired and went on with their lives, to this day they get stopped by fans who remember where they were that memorable July night when the injured Strug gingerly stuck her vault landing to secure gold for the US.

They have lived the dream. In some ways, they are still living it. So no, they are not surprised that so many who have “already been there, done that” want to give it another shot.

“I can promise [for] every athlete that makes the team, this Olympics will be one of the greatest moments of their careers,” seven-time Olympic medalist Shannon Miller said.

Her advice to anyone considering it: go for it, even if things do not work out exactly as you planned.

Miller decided less than a year before the 2000 Games in Sydney to give it one final shot at age 23 — considered ancient for a gymnast at the time, although less so now. An injury at the Olympic trials ended that dream. Miller has no regrets, and a quarter century later it is considered a footnote for the most-decorated American women’s gymnast after Biles.

The attempt comes with considerable risk to mental and physical health. For every athlete that makes it, there are countless others that will not. And for those that do, the burden to succeed is ratcheted up to a level they have likely never experienced.

Dominique Moceanu, the youngest member of the Magnificent Seven, described it as a “double-edged sword.”

“You have to understand that it will be probably the biggest moment of your life,” Moceanu said. “Whether it’s because you put it on yourself or you feel the enormity of the weight of the country and the expectations. That does something to people, right?”

It does. Biles brought the discussion around mental health to the forefront of the Games in Tokyo when she removed herself from multiple nights of competition to protect herself while dealing with “the twisties.”

She took time off before returning in 2023, capping the perhaps final chapter of her career — Biles remains noncommittal about her future — by winning a second all-around gold in Paris a year later.

Skye Blakely watched Biles’ triumph from afar after her bid to make the 2024 Olympic team ended when she tore her right Achilles while training at the Olympic trials, three years after her outside shot at making the 2021 squad ended with an elbow injury at the same meet.

That has not stopped her from throwing herself into the mix once again. When describing why she continues to press on, Blakely sounds like so many American athletes across the spectrum — regardless of their resume — who feel the Games’ unique gravitational pull.

“Having a dream is always a risk if you’re going to go after it,” she said before finishing seventh in the all-around at the US championships, her first elite all-around meet in two years. “And I feel like the want for that dream has to be more than being afraid of that risk. And for me it is.”

Sharks coach JP Pietersen has defended his decision to pick All Blacks great Ma’a Nonu to play against New Zealand.

“His name says it all,” Pietersen said on Monday, the day before the Sharks host the All Blacks’ second tour match at Kings Park.

The 44-year-old Nonu arrived at the Sharks only last week primarily to mentor and help develop their younger players. His selection in the reserves for a side without eight senior Springboks and impacted by injuries turned heads, even among the touring All Blacks.

Local critics jumped on the irony of Nonu coming to help player development while playing in a milestone match at the possible expense of a young Shark.

Pietersen said Nonu was not denying anyone a spot, the midfield choices were limited, and he had to respect what he called “a massive and awesome” occasion as the Sharks host the All Blacks for the first time in 30 years.

“This is our strongest team,” Pietersen said. “It’s great he’s here with us and giving our young boys just a feel of what the All Blacks may give to them. He’s slot in like he was here for a long [time] and the boys love him.”

“It’s going to be an emotional game for Ma’a because it’s the first time he’s playing against the All Blacks,” Pietersen added. “It’ll be awesome to see tomorrow.”

Nonu retired from the All Blacks in 2015 as a two-time World Cup champion with 103 caps. He has continued to play for clubs around the world.

Pietersen, a former Springbok opponent of Nonu’s, has urged his youngish side, which has not played since May 16 and was in preseason training, to “make a memory” to talk about for the next 30 years.

The Sharks include Vusi Moyo, who became the youngest flyhalf in Springboks history at 20 last month in the win against Wales. They have six players from the South Africa A side which beat Zimbabwe 40-0 in June. They had seven but lock Vincent Tshituka withdrew on Monday due to concussion.

“We will not be at 100 percent, at best at 70 or 80 percent, but we’ll give it everything we can,” Pietersen said.

Rain is forecast for the entire match.

The All Blacks beat the Stormers 38-21 in Cape Town on Friday in their tour opener.

Three years after his last cap for South Africa and two years after an ACL injury he thought would end his career, Deon Fourie is back in the Springboks.

Fourie, turning 40 next month, was summoned by South Africa on Monday and set to join the squad yesterday in Johannesburg to prepare for the four-match Greatest Rivalry test series against New Zealand starting on Aug. 22.

Springboks coach Rassie Erasmus was moved to recall Fourie after he rolled back the years for the Stormers in New Zealand’s tour opener in Cape Town on Friday.

In his first match in 13 weeks, Fourie scored the Stormers’ first try, grabbed two turnovers and amazed Stormers coach John Dobson with three tackles in 15 seconds. Fourie was replaced after an hour with the score 14-14. The All Blacks prevailed 38-21.

Fourie’s value as a hybrid flanker and hooker was “invaluable,” South Africa Rugby said on Monday.

The oldest player to make his Springboks debut at 35 in 2022, Fourie played his 13th and last test in the 2023 Rugby World Cup final against New Zealand in Paris. He replaced hooker Bongi Mbonambi in the opening minutes, injured his shoulder but feared coming off and making South Africa vulnerable in the front row. They won 12-11.

Since then, he has primarily been rehabilitating.

A ruptured ACL sidelined him in 2024 from April to December. An ankle issue followed. Last season he was out from October to March with a bicep injury. In May, a croc roll tackle sent him into knee surgery.

“Over the last two years I’ve had terrible luck with injuries, and I didn’t know whether I’d be able to play this year,” Fourie said at a news conference last week before the All Blacks game.

“I’m definitely raring to go. I’ve been looking forward to this match since it was announced,” he said. “To represent your club, where I’ve spent almost my entire career, against a test side like the All Blacks is such a big occasion. To face the haka is something every little boy dreams of when they start playing rugby.”

He might get another chance in the next month.

title: Slater takes Medina on old battleground to advance in Tahiti

Kelly Slater advanced to the third round of the Tahiti Pro on Monday after the 54-year-old American overcame Brazil’s Gabriel Medina and some heavy wipeouts at the 2024 Paris Olympics venue of Teahupo’o.

Slater, who recently underwent hip surgery, retired from full-time competition in 2024 and welcomed a third child earlier this year but showed he had lost none of his competitive edge against three-times world champion Medina.

In dangerous, challenging waves, Slater got smashed on his first attempt and was hit even harder on his second wave, breaking his board in two.

Slater recovered and threaded a long, deep tube that scored a 9.73 out of 10 to take the lead. He then backed it up with another excellent score to advance over Medina, who had beat Slater in an epic final on the same shore in 2014.

“I don’t know if I’ll ever have another heat with him, and he got me last time,” said Slater, who dominated the first day of competition.

He said he had been motivated by criticism of the decision to award him a wildcard to compete.

“You see those comments, a lot of people doubting me or saying [the opportunity] should have gone to a local wildcard,” he said. “Even after all this time, yeah, I have something to prove.”

Slater finished with an excellent two-wave score of 19.06 out of 20 to set up a third-round meeting with reigning champion Jack Robinson of Australia, who was pushed hard by countryman Callum Robson in round two.

California’s Griffin Colapinto, who was born six years after Slater won the first of his 11 world titles, was the only man to better Slater’s performance in the second round, racking up a perfect 10-point ride on his way to a season-high heat total of 19.6 out of 20.

title: Trump vaccine order sparks WHO warning

content_text:
The WHO yesterday defended the science-based process used to determine childhood immunisation schedules after US President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at reducing the number of recommended childhood vaccinations in the US.

Trump on Monday signed an executive order calling for a reduced childhood vaccination schedule of 11 immunizations.

‘GOLD-STANDARD’

He said the move would provide US children with “gold-standard” protection and align the US more closely with other developed countries that recommend fewer shots.

Vaccine experts say that other developed countries that may recommend fewer shots face different disease risks and have different healthcare systems.

The order advances a long-standing objective of US Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who has questioned vaccine safety and promoted claims linking vaccines to autism even though scientific studies and public health authorities have found no evidence of a link.

WHO spokesperson Tarik Jaarevi told a press briefing in Geneva that vaccination recommendations were based on more than 60 years of research by the global body, national authorities and independent expert groups.

The timing of individual vaccines was determined through extensive scientific review of when people were most vulnerable to particular diseases and the development of the immune system, Jaarevi told reporters in Geneva.

EXPERTS’ ADVICE

Jaarevi said countries typically relied on national immunization technical advisory groups made up of multidisciplinary experts who provided independent, evidence-based recommendations to governments and vaccination program managers.

Those groups draw on guidance from the WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization when establishing national schedules, he said.

“What comes out from WHO is science-based,” Jaarevi said.

“We hope that all countries will use this best scientific evidence that we have.”

Trump’s executive order has drawn criticism from medical associations, public health experts and vaccine manufacturers, who say there is no new scientific evidence to justify the changes, and that the existing US schedule reflects decades of evidence and the specific health needs of Americans, rejecting the comparison to other countries.

Physicians have warned that reducing the number of recommended vaccinations could leave more children vulnerable to preventable diseases and create confusion among parents about when children should be immunized.

SEPARATE MMR SHOTS

The Trump order also recommends separating the combined measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine into three individual injections.

Vaccine maker Merck has said there is no published scientific evidence showing a benefit from splitting the shot and warned that requiring separate visits could increase the risk of delayed or missed vaccinations.

‘INSULTING’ JOKE: Australia’s prime minister rejected the opposition’s calls for him to apologize for his ‘disrespectful behavior’ toward the Japanese leader

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese yesterday sidestepped calls to apologize after a clip emerged of him engaging in crude banter about a gift from Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.

Albanese had already faced a backlash and apologized over comments made during an interview last month with the Bush Deep podcast in which he said he would “shag” singer Kylie Minogue.

However, separate comments during that interview in which he joked about a gift from Takaichi during her visit to Australia in May drew furor this week from his political opponents.

During the conversation with host Nikki Osborne at his official residence, the Australian leader joked that he had received a “strange” present of a Japanese royal melon from Takaichi.

In Japan, premium melons are considered luxury items and can cost more than A$270 (US$190), a former Japanese ambassador to Australia said.

When Osborne asked if she had smuggled the fruit through Australian customs, Albanese held his hands up and said “got a couple of melons.”

“She came in looking like Pamela Anderson,” the host replied.

Australia’s opposition leader has called for Albanese to apologize over the “insulting” joke.

Asked in parliament whether he would say sorry for his “disrespectful behavior,” Albanese said: “I reject the assertion in the question.”

“Prime Minister Takaichi is a friend of Australia and a friend of mine,” he said.

Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs Penny Wong (黃英賢) also rejected accusations his comments were intended to be an insult.

“The prime minister has been clear that he did not mean for those comments to be interpreted in the way they have been by those opposite,” she said, referring to the opposition.


title: Ebola death toll in DR Congo outbreak rises to over 2,000

An Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo) has killed 2,011 people out of 4,381 confirmed cases of the virus, officials said yesterday.

The latest toll puts it close behind the nation’s deadliest Ebola outbreak in 2018 to 2020 when nearly 2,300 people died out of 3,500 recorded cases.

The Ebola outbreak, which has hit the nation’s conflict-plagued eastern and northeastern regions, was declared on May 15, but is thought to have already been spreading for several weeks.

It is the DR Congo’s 17th surge of the highly contagious disease and is already considered the largest in the country’s history “and could well become the largest outbreak ever,” Sania Nishtar, chief executive of the Gavi global vaccine alliance, has said.

The case fatality rate of the current outbreak is estimated by Congolese health authorities to be 45.9 percent.

On Friday, WHO vaccine experts recommended a full-scale human trial of Erbovo, the only existing approved Ebola vaccine, to see if it offered cross-protection against the strain of Ebola currently spreading in the DR Congo against which no specific vaccine exists.

The Ervebo vaccine has proved safe and efficacious against the more common Zaire strain of Ebola virus and WHO experts said that early data, notably from animal trials, showed it might also give some protection against the rare Bundibugyo strain exploding in the DR Congo.

Two potential Bundibugyo vaccines are in the early stages of clinical trials on humans, while a third is being worked on to bring it to that stage.

Ebola is spread by contact with bodily fluids and causes a hemorrhagic fever.

The myth of Anthony Bourdain: how the bad boy chef became a hero to boozehounds and bulliesThe author of ‘Kitchen Confidential’ has inspired a new movie, ‘Tony’, about his days as a dishwasher. But do today’s chefs still admire his self-sabotaging rock’n’roll spirit — or have they outgrown it?

The trope of the Angry Young Man was not born in a kitchen, but Anthony Bourdain’s particular myth-making created what might be the prototype for fin de (20th) siecle masculinity. As the director of Tony, the new biopic of Bourdain focusing on his first job, has said, the film is about “a magical world where nothing can go wrong and a young man who’s angry about it.”

Bourdain arrived in that job, as a dishwasher in a restaurant in Provincetown, Massachusetts, aged 19. He was hellbent on a life of formless, self-sabotaging rebellion, and found his tribe. But when he published his book Kitchen Confidential in 2000, a quarter of a century later, he set the ethos of that kitchen tribe in stone, and attracted an ever-replenishing pool of chefs who, if they weren’t already just like him, were prepared to die trying.

However, that anger, like everything about Bourdain, wasn’t real — it was performative, playful. He compared himself once to the chef Eric Ripert, saying they both had a “live and let live energy,” but Ripert “believes in karma … I believe in vendetta.” That fabled anger never sounded quite real.

MISFIT SUBCULTURE

Kitchen Confidential starts with Bourdain traveling through France as a child with his brother and his moneyed American parents of European inclinations and heritage. He is a little prick to his family, for no reason, and he’s also a git to the French kids, before returning to the US to be a jerk to flatmates and girlfriends in his private liberal arts university (Vassar) before dropping out. He’s still in his teens in 1975, when he takes that lowly job in Provincetown. There, he’s a minnow among absolute sharks of delinquency — a chef might turn out an impromptu service for a 100-strong post-wedding party, then bang the bride against the bins afterwards. The staff scored drugs you’ve never heard of, and drugs you’d never have needed if you hadn’t taken all those other drugs.

In that kitchen, Bourdain finds his spiritual home, “a subculture whose centuries-old militaristic hierarchy and ethos of ‘rum, buggery and the lash’ make for a mix of unwavering order and nerve-shattering chaos,” he wrote in Kitchen Confidential. That book, remembers the journalist, cookery writer and cook Diana Henry, 63, described “a world we didn’t have an in on, and suddenly we did.” (Henry did, in my view, the best late-era interview with Bourdain, two years before his death.)

The great silence: why haven’t we found any aliens yet?Given the size and age of the universe, it should be full of species with technology far more advanced than our own. So where are they?

During a visit to the Los Alamos National Laboratory in 1950, Enrico Fermi, one of the architects of the Manhattan Project, was having lunch with other physicists when the conversation turned to flying saucers. At one point during the discussion, Fermi blurted out: “Where is everybody?” — or, as another participant remembered it, “Don’t you ever wonder where everybody is?” If aliens exist, in other words, why have we never encountered them?

The episode has become famous, marking the moment when extraterrestrial life went from a theme for philosophical speculation to a serious scientific problem. For centuries, people had wondered whether life exists on the moon or Mars, but they accepted that we would never know for certain, since making contact with another planet was impossible. By the 1950s, those limits no longer seemed so fixed. In addition to space flight, researchers were developing tools to detect the radio signals that reach us from stars many light years away. These developments were still in their infancy, but it was already clear that humanity was no longer bound to Earth the way it always had been.

This expansion of human horizons raised an awkward question. Since the 16th century, when Copernicus showed that Earth is not the center of the cosmos, modern science had learned to embrace the idea that there is nothing unique about our planet. And if Earth is statistically average, there is no reason why it should be the only home of intelligent life. Given the age of the universe — about 13.8 billion years, according to current estimates — it should be full of species with technology far more advanced than what we have come up with in a few thousand years of civilization. Yet we can’t find any trace of them.

That was the case in 1950, and it is still the case today, despite well-publicized claims to the contrary. Since 2017, when the New York Times reported that the US military possessed video recordings of pilots’ encounters with UFOs, aliens have gone mainstream. The House of Representatives even held hearings on what are now called unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) as a potential national security threat. But the blurry and inconclusive “Pentagon UFO videos” have not been followed by any clear images of nonhuman craft, just as earlier waves of UFO sightings never produced any unambiguous evidence.

For most scientists, the real mystery about aliens isn’t their presence but their stubborn absence.

The first serious effort to detect radio signals from alien civilizations in deep space was made in 1960, when the American astronomer Frank Drake conducted an experiment he named Project Ozma. Using a telescope at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia, Drake looked for signals at a precise location on the electromagnetic spectrum: 1420 MHz, known as the “hydrogen line” because hydrogen atoms emit photons at that frequency.

Because hydrogen is so abundant in the universe, the line is easy for radio telescopes to detect. In a 1959 paper, astronomers Giuseppe Cocconi and Philip Morrison argued that this fact would be discovered at an “early stage in the development of radio astronomy” by any technological civilization, as it was by human beings. That made it likely, they reasoned, that any species looking to broadcast radio signals to attract the attention of cosmic neighbors would choose to do so at 1420 MHz. But though Project Ozma spent 150 hours observing two relatively nearby stars similar in size to our sun, it detected no unusual activity at the hydrogen line.

In 1971, NASA convened a panel of experts to study the best ways to search for extraterrestrial life. Their report, Project Cyclops, was published the next year, and has remained a kind of bible for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (usually shortened to Seti) ever since. The report called for the construction of the Cyclops system, “an ‘orchard’ of antennas 10km to 10 miles in diameter and containing 1,000 to perhaps 2,500 antennas.”

Such an array could scan the sky 200,000 times faster than Ozma.

The cost of building Cyclops was estimated at $10 billion to $25 billion, the equivalent of $77 billion to $192 billion today, making it about as expensive as the Apollo program. It was never built, and Congress ended NASA’s modest funding for Seti projects in 1993. Since then all US efforts have been privately funded, mainly by billionaires such as Paul Allen, cofounder of Microsoft, and Yuri Milner, a Soviet-born entrepreneur. Advances in computer technology mean that today’s Seti efforts are vastly more sophisticated than half a century ago, able to examine millions of radio channels from tens of thousands of galaxies. But the result remains the same: no artificial signal from an alien civilization has ever been detected.

That doesn’t discourage true believers. Seth Shostak, an astronomer at the California-based Seti Institute, writes that Seti’s “failure is tempered by the fact that the number of star systems sampled is still quite small”. In 2010, astronomer Jill Tarter, one of the leading figures in the field for decades, calculated that so little of the universe had been searched that it was like dipping a single glass into the ocean to determine whether it contains fish.

If extraterrestrial signals are out there and it’s just a matter of looking in the right place, it’s entirely possible that Seti could find one tomorrow. But it hasn’t happened in more than 65 years of searching and, until it does, alien signals remain as hypothetical as alien spaceships. Not only is there no evidence that extraterrestrials are trying to contact or visit us; there is no evidence that they exist at all. And this non-appearance presents a more serious challenge to modern scientific assumptions than any UFO sighting. It turns out that there really is something unique about Earth: as far as we currently know, it is the only place where life exists. But why?

DRAKE EQUATION

In October 1961, a year after Frank Drake failed to detect any alien radio signals with Project Ozma, he invited a dozen scientists to a conference to discuss the future of Seti. To clarify the problem, he tried to calculate how many extraterrestrial civilizations could be broadcasting radio signals in our galaxy. The answer, Drake reasoned, depended on seven variables, including “How many planets in an average system are capable of supporting life?” and “On planets where life exists, how often does an intelligent species like humanity evolve?”

Multiply all of the variables and you get the number of potential targets for Seti in the Milky Way. Drake wrote out the formula, which has been known ever since as the Drake equation. At the time, none of the variables could be estimated with any confidence. Drake’s back-of-the-envelope calculations yielded an estimate of 50,000 transmitting civilizations, but this was essentially just a guess. The real purpose of the Drake equation was to establish a research program, a set of questions for astronomers to try to answer. In the 21st century, they have made significant progress, thanks to new space-based telescopes that make it possible to see the cosmos in more detail than ever before.

For the first variable — how fast are new stars formed in the Milky Way — it’s now estimated that 10 to 20 new stars are born every year (a far slower rate than when the galaxy was young and richer in star-forming gas). The total number of stars in our galaxy is on the order of 100 billion. In the visible universe as a whole, there are an estimated 2 trillion galaxies, yielding a total of about 100 sextillion stars. So much is still unknown about the universe that this figure is certain to be revised, but it’s sufficiently mind-boggling to get the Drake equation off to a promising start.

It is much easier to detect stars than the planets that orbit them, and in 1961 the answers to Drake’s second and third questions — how many stars have planets, and how many of those planets are potentially habitable — were completely unknown. As telescopes gained in power, it became possible to detect exoplanets — planets outside our solar system — by measuring the tiny variations in a star’s light caused by a planetary mass passing in front of it. The first exoplanet was detected in 1992, the second in 1995. The pace of discovery exploded in the 2010s, thanks to observations from the Kepler space telescope and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.

As of last year, some 6,000 exoplanets have been identified in the Milky Way, including at least three orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the sun. This is just the tip of the iceberg. While it’s not yet possible to conclusively answer Drake’s second question, a study published in Nature in 2012 suggested a minimum of 100 billion planets in our galaxy alone.

ASTROBIOLOGY

To answer Drake’s third question — how many of those planets are capable of sustaining life — a new scientific discipline has emerged: astrobiology, the study of life among the stars. This is a paradoxical endeavor, since there are no examples to study. Instead, astrobiologists think about the basic conditions that make life possible, and how we might determine whether distant planets meet those conditions.

Exoplanets are far too distant to see what is happening on the surface. But it’s possible to measure the size of the planet and its distance from the star it orbits, and make deductions about its atmosphere and temperature — and, more indirectly, about its magnetic field. Since Earth is the only planet where we know life exists, it’s natural to assume that exoplanets that resemble it in these respects are the most likely to be habitable.

Astrobiological research thus also involves investigating life on our own planet, to understand the range of environments in which it can develop. The discovery of “extremophiles,” primitive organisms that thrive in extreme conditions, has shown that living things can flourish under two miles of ice and in hot springs that reach 98 Celsius. This suggests that life of some kind could develop even on inhospitable planets. For instance, while there is no liquid water on Mars today, frozen remnants of ancient oceans are thought to exist under its surface; it’s possible that some kind of extremophilic life could be detected by future probes.

NASA announced last year that a rock sample analyzed by the Perseverance rover included two minerals, vivianite and greigite, that on Earth are byproducts of bacterial metabolism. The minerals may be a sign that primitive microorganisms existed on Mars several billion years ago. If confirmed, this would be a revolutionary discovery. As the astrobiologist David Catling has written, “Even the simplest microbes native to Mars … would change the balance of probabilities that life exists elsewhere in the galaxy, for they would demonstrate that life can originate twice within one solar system.”

In fact, proof of life on Mars would not necessarily mean that it originated independently on two planets. It’s also possible that life could have emerged on Earth and traveled to Mars or vice versa, carried through space in meteorites or dust. That would be evidence for the “panspermia” theory, which holds that life originated in just one or a few places in the cosmos and then spread naturally over eons.

On Earth, any life form more advanced than bacteria requires liquid water to survive. Thus the most important criterion for a habitable exoplanet is that it can’t be too close to the star it orbits, where intense heat would evaporate water, or too far from the star, where cold would turn it into ice. If an Earthlike planet is inside the “Goldilocks zone” where the temperature is “just right” for liquid water to exist, it can be considered a candidate for life.

The first such planet to be discovered was Kepler-452b, seen by the Kepler space telescope in 2015. It is a bit larger than Earth and takes 385 days to complete an orbit of its star, very similar to our year of 365 days. By 2025, the Habitable Worlds Catalog, a database maintained by the University of Puerto Rico, included 29 Earthlike exoplanets, and the process of discovery has only just begun. A study published in the Astronomical Journalin 2020 estimated that the total number of Goldilocks-zone planets in the Milky Way is at least 300 million, and possibly as high as 6 billion.

Astronomy has made enormous progress in filling in the first three variables in the Drake equation. The difficulty, as the astronomer Sara Seager has written, is that “the first three factors … are measurable; the other four are not, and arguably never will be”.

The closest we can come to answering Drake’s fourth question — how many planets actually develop life — is to look for biosignatures, chemical compounds in the atmosphere of an exoplanet that on Earth are associated with the presence of life. Researchers announced last year they had found dimethyl sulfide in the atmosphere of K2-18b, an exoplanet in the habitable zone of a star 124 light years from Earth. Because that compound is produced on Earth by ocean plankton, it could be a sign of the presence of organic life. But the finding was quickly challenged by other scientists, who argued the data did not prove the presence of dimethyl sulfide.

K2-18b is a good example of the limits of astrobiology. To find an exoplanet is very difficult; to find one in the Goldilocks zone is even harder; to detect potential biosignatures is harder still. And even if biosignatures were to be definitively confirmed, it would only show that life may exist. There is no way to know whether it actually does, much less what form it takes.

The search for exoplanets is radically expanding our understanding of the cosmos.

“We have learned that the universe is teeming with a fascinating variety of planets, more types than we could have imagined,” writes the astrobiologist Lisa Kaltenegger.

But so far, it has found exactly as many extraterrestrials as radio astronomy has: zero. The more we learn about the universe, the more acute the Fermi paradox becomes.

EXPLAINING THE ‘GREAT SILENCE’

To explain this “great silence,” researchers focus on the last three variables in the Drake equation: on planets where life exists, how often does an intelligent species like humanity evolve? Of intelligent species, how many develop the technological ability to send radio signals into space? And finally, how long does a transmitting civilization last before it disappears?

These questions go beyond the limits of astronomy; they can’t be answered, even in principle, by developing more sensitive telescopes. The only way to shed light on them would be to assemble a catalogue of species across the cosmos and study their history. But the reason we have to ask Drake’s questions in the first place is that we don’t have such a catalogue.

In practice, then, thinking about extraterrestrial intelligence means thinking about the only intelligent species we do know — ourselves. What conditions had to exist for Homo sapiens to evolve and develop spacefaring technology, and how long can we expect technological civilization in its current form to survive?

Of the seven variables in the equation, Drake and his colleagues found that last one, which they called “L” (for “length of time”), the hardest to calculate, offering a range of estimates from 1,000 to 100 million years. This uncertainty reflects the fact that L is essentially a prediction about the future of humanity. As long as ours is the only technological civilization we know about, we have no way to estimate the longevity of such civilizations except to think about how long ours can be expected to last. And there is a good reason to think this may not be a long time. The birth of radio astronomy and space flight coincided with the invention of nuclear weapons; the same rocket technology that sent astronauts to the moon was used to build intercontinental ballistic missiles. Human beings have managed to avoid destroying ourselves in a nuclear war for the past 80 years, but it would be a bold prophet who would guarantee that we will not do so in the next 80, not to speak of the next 800. It is possible that technological progress is self-limiting: any species powerful enough to escape its planet is powerful enough to destroy it.

Drake thought that multiplying all the variables in his equation would yield about 50,000 transmitting civilizations in our galaxy. If the true number turns out to be just one, it follows that at least one of those variables must have a much lower value than expected. In other words, there must be one or more steps in the evolution of advanced civilization that are very difficult to surmount.

THE ‘GREAT FILTER’

As the economist Robin Hanson wrote in an influential 1998 paper, “There is a ‘great filter’ along the path between simple dead stuff and explosive life.” For some reason, “the vast vast majority of stuff that starts along this path never makes it. In fact, so far nothing among the billion trillion stars in our whole past universe has made it all the way along this path.”

Like the Drake equation, the great filter offers a structure for thinking about what makes technological civilization possible. Any answer to that question involves astronomy, physics and biology. It also leads to questions about human nature and destiny that have traditionally been the province of philosophy and religion.

That certain physical conditions are necessary for the development of life has been recognized for a long time: distance from the sun, the presence of water, a breathable atmosphere. But there are a multitude of other cosmic coincidences that may be equally necessary for life to develop and survive. For instance, any planet that is regularly bombarded by asteroids would find it difficult to sustain life for long. When a single asteroid about six miles in diameter struck the Yucatan peninsula 66 million years ago, it is thought to have extinguished three-quarters of all existing species, including the non-avian dinosaurs.

Such impacts would be much more common if not for the presence of Jupiter, a giant planet just the right distance from Earth to intercept comets and asteroids. A Jupiter-like neighbor may be a prerequisite for advanced life, since on a planet without one, the clock of evolution would be continually reset by mass extinctions.

Then there is the role of plate tectonics. The Earth’s surface is broken into large plates that drift very slowly over time. At their fault lines, old rock made of carbon is drawn into the planet’s hot interior and new rock is produced in the form of magma. This “conveyor belt” has the effect of stabilizing the level of carbon in the atmosphere, preventing runaway heating or cooling that could extinguish life.

Geologists aren’t certain why Earth has tectonic plates — the current best theory is that the decay of radioactive elements in the interior of the planet produces heat that melts subsurface rock. But we know that ours is the only planet in the solar system to have them. Mars and Venus, which are rocky and about the same size as Earth, have rigid surfaces that don’t break into separate masses. So it’s possible that plate tectonics, too, belongs on the list of prerequisites for life.

The more conditions life needs, the easier it is to whittle down the galaxy’s 100 billion planets as potential homes for it. The “rare-Earth hypothesis,” writes the Serbian astrophysicist Milan Cirkovic, holds that “each of these requirements [for life] is unlikely and they are (or at least seem to be) causally independent, so that their combination is bound to be incredibly rare and probably unique in the Milky Way.”

Life on Earth seems to have emerged fairly quickly after the planet was formed; the oldest bacteria are only a few hundred million years younger than the solar system. This seems like an encouraging sign that, under the right conditions, it is easy for life to get started. But after those early beginnings, major evolutionary milestones came very slowly. It took about 2 billion years for the first cellular nucleus to develop, enabling the transition from primitive prokaryotic bacteria to more advanced eukaryotes. Another billion years passed before the emergence of the first multicellular organisms.

Strikingly, genetic evidence shows that each of these crucial developments occurred only once in the history of life on Earth. This suggests that they may not be inevitable stages that life would pass through anywhere, but surpassingly rare accidents. Life may exist on other planets in the form of archaea — unicellular organisms that can thrive in extreme conditions — without ever evolving as far as sponges, much less plants and animals.

THE HARD PROBLEM OF LIFE

As for mammals like ourselves, our reign on Earth is also highly contingent. Dinosaurs were our planet’s dominant species for more than 150 million years. By comparison, Homo sapiens have existed for only about 300,000 years, 0.006 percent of the history of Earth. When we look back on the history of humanity from this point of view, we seem to see ourselves perched on a toppling Jenga tower of incredible coincidences. So many factors had to line up perfectly for us to come into existence; change just one and we would not be here. The effect is vertiginous, reminding us that everything we take for granted about our world is in fact radically contingent. Not only do life and human life not need to exist; it would be immensely more reasonable for them not to exist.

In centuries past, some thinkers came to a similar conclusion and saw it as proof of providence, which shaped the finely tuned structure of the cosmos to foster the evolution of humanity. Today, rather than turning to old supernatural doctrines to explain human uniqueness, a new generation of cosmologists argues that we need to radically expand our idea of the forms life and intelligence might take, and how we should go about looking for them.

Seti operates on the premise that we will find aliens because they want to be found. It looks for radio signals sent deliberately into space with the goal of attracting attention from civilizations advanced enough to detect them. The Project Cyclops report argues that “the sending race will attempt to make the job of deciphering and understanding the messages as simple and foolproof as possible.”

This assumption reflects the optimism of the space age, when humanity landed on the moon and gazed into deep space for the first time. Having accomplished so much so fast, it was natural to believe that other intelligent species would be equally venturesome. Wouldn’t they want to end their cosmic loneliness as much as we do?

Such ideas about how aliens would act are fundamentally anthropocentric, imagining that any intelligent species would be driven by the same motives we are: love of knowledge and love of power. But there is no reason why intelligent life elsewhere in the universe should have evolved to resemble us, either physically or mentally.

In a 2016 paper titled The “Hard Problem” of Life, physicists Sara Imari Walker and Paul Davies observe that “both astrobiology and our assumptions about non-human consciousness tend to be biased by our understanding of terrestrial life.”

We take for granted that the particular forms that evolved on Earth — “from the level of cells, to multicellular organisms, to eusocial and linguistic societies” — are the inevitable product of natural laws, so that something like them must emerge anywhere life exists. But Walker and Davies argue that, in fact, life as we know it is the product of “a combination of chance and necessity,” including many unlikely events that pushed the evolution of life on to new pathways.

Rather than expect all living things to look like us, with arms and legs and rocket ships and radio telescopes, Walker and Davies propose that we think about life in a new way, defining it in functional terms as “the actual physical mechanism that permits information to gain causal purchase over matter.” On Earth, information is encoded physically in DNA strands and synaptic impulses; elsewhere in the cosmos, it might take such different forms that we wouldn’t recognize it even if we found it.

This idea fascinated the 20th-century Polish science-fiction writer Stanis?aw Lem, who dramatized it in a number of novels and stories. In his best-known book, Solaris, humanity discovers a planet covered by a sentient ocean. The second chapter, The Solarists, is an elaborate imaginary history of scientific debates about this organism, which resembles a “syrupy jelly.” Is it a “primitive being” or a “highly organized structure”? Had it bypassed “all the terrestrial stages of development — that is to say, the emergence of protozoa and metazoa, plant and animal evolution” — yet still managed to become intelligent?

The novel develops into a kind of horror-thriller, as astronauts marooned on Solaris are stalked by bizarre apparitions. But these aren’t ghosts; they are attempts by the ocean-being to communicate with the visitors by reading their minds and adopting the shapes it finds there. The ocean itself seems to think by creating elaborate shapes and structures with its gelatinous waves. But the human visitors are totally unable to grasp the meaning of these movements. The real tragedy of Solaris isn’t the gruesome deaths of the scientists, but what one of them calls “the failure to make contact, the lack of response.”

ESCAPING PHYSICAL EXISTENCE

More recently, theorists and storytellers — a distinction that often blurs when it comes to thinking about aliens — have begun to speculate that what separates us from extraterrestrials isn’t different biologies. Rather, biology itself may be a primitive phase in the development of mind, which truly advanced civilizations inevitably outgrow. After all, the most impressive technological achievements of the 21st century have not been in space exploration, but in computing, which allows us to create ever more detailed and powerful models of the world. If this progress continues, we have begun to worry, artificial intelligence and virtual reality could replace human intelligence and material reality.

Perhaps this is why we have so far failed to find traces of alien life. When intelligent species are sufficiently advanced, maybe their goal isn’t colonizing planets, but escaping physical existence altogether. John Smart, a non-academic futurist who describes his work as “acceleration studies,” calls this the “transcension hypothesis:” aliens are invisible to us because they have transcended bodily existence as we currently understand it.

Presenting this idea in a 2012 paper, Smart speculated that as civilizations develop “more computation and simulation abilities,” they will expand not into outer space but into “inner space,” creating virtual realities more complex and interesting than physical reality. On Earth, computers have become ever more compact as they grow more powerful; so it makes sense to assume that the material substrate of alien virtual realities — the hardware on which the software of consciousness runs — will come to occupy less and less physical space. Ultimately, Smith argues, this process could yield a technology so compact that it will essentially disappear from the map of the cosmos.

It’s clear that the transcension hypothesis, like the cold war-era idea of galactic colonization, is a kind of presentism, assuming that whatever is happening now will continue to happen in the future, only more so. It elevates the computer revolution of the 21st century to a universal process that every technological civilization will follow.

But in thinking about extraterrestrial life, it’s hard to see how some degree of anthropocentrism and presentism can be avoided. In the absence of actual data about aliens, thinking about them is an act of imagination, and the only material our imaginations have to work with is our own experience. As our understanding of our species changes, so does our sense of what is probable or possible for our cosmic “others”. Just as accounts of UFO encounters are human testimonies, not scientific evidence, so all our thinking about aliens and how to find them is best understood as humanity’s evolving self-portrait.

記者葉國吏／綜合報導

位於高雄路竹的「川湖（2059）」董事長林聰吉躍居台灣新首富。林聰吉從家具學徒出身，靠兩根鐵成功翻轉人生，一步步帶領公司成為伺服器滑軌霸主。林聰吉為人低調，女兒在自家公司擔任總經理，她也透露公司轉型成功就是靠著「捨得」2個字；有趣的是，林聰吉過去曾經想賣專利週轉，但最後被「神明」阻止，才能造就如今的川湖科技，可以說也對林聰吉的首富之路推了一把。

「川湖」在外銷家具市場當紅年代占有一席之地，但2000年時遇到一家美國大客戶要求降價三成，否則就要轉單。董事長林聰吉當時果斷拒絕，雖然導致公司營收直接腰斬，但擔任公司總經理的女兒林淑珍認為這份捨得為日後奠定基礎。

拒絕降價營收腰斬迎轉機2001年時電腦巨頭「Compaq」因原本的滑軌供應商設計出包，緊急尋找替代方案。林聰吉隨即帶領團隊，在一周內交出全新設計圖並通過嚴格測試，成功拿下第一張10萬美元的滑軌訂單，開啟了高階滑軌霸主之路。

敲開「Compaq」的大門後，公司連帶進入「IBM」、「HP」、昇陽電腦等大廠供應鏈，營收主力轉往高階資訊產品。發言人暨執行副總王俊強表示，憑滑軌要有87.4%毛利率，是歷經25年產業循環學習的成果。

專利護城河打造知名品牌「川湖」一路投入研發開發自走式滑軌及卡式絞鏈，擁有3,600項專利與3,500個工程師，靠著專利護城河讓「King Slide」成為知名品牌。高雄市議員黃明太說，林聰吉行事低調且很少跟外界交際應酬。

黃明太透露林聰吉信仰十分虔誠，公司股票剛上市時有一段時間非常辛苦，本來打算賣專利籌錢，但被「濟公師父」阻止才沒把專利賣給美國人。這段傳奇歷程不僅改寫了個人身價，也讓台灣製造在全球科技產業鏈中展現強大影響力。

title: 輝達攜手6大金融巨頭「AI算力變金融產品」　分析憂次貸風暴重演

記者張靖榕／綜合報導

輝達（Nvidia）攜手阿波羅（Apollo）、黑石集團（Blackstone）、貝萊德（BlackRock）、高盛（Goldman Sachs）等6家大型金融機構，宣布設立總規模超過5000億美元（約新台幣15.9兆元）的人工智慧（AI）基礎建設融資平台，以AI算力作為債務擔保，協助客戶取得資金興建資料中心、發電廠及生產更多晶片。不過，這項金融創新也讓部分市場人士聯想到2007至2008年全球金融危機前的次級房貸證券化熱潮。

AI算力轉化為「可融資資產」

根據輝達與6家大型資產管理公司、私募股權公司及銀行達成的協議，新平台將以算力作為債務擔保，並以「具吸引力的利率」提供融資，讓輝達客戶更容易取得大規模AI運算資源。

過去資料中心與AI晶片等基礎設施，通常被視為快速折舊的硬體，但這項計畫試圖將AI算力轉變為可長期融資、產生收益的資產。媒體引述黑石總裁葛雷（Jon Gray）表示，未來AI算力可以被視為「可融資資產」，就如同房屋能夠作為抵押品申請房貸。

AI證券化

《紐約時報》報導，參與計畫的金融機構主管接受電視訪問時，已提到開發「收益型產品」甚至證券化的可能性，包括發行債券，將AI實驗室產生的營收劃分為不同風險層級。

部分業界人士甚至提出，把AI算力發展成新的資產類別，未來一般散戶也可能有機會投資「以資料中心作為擔保的債務」。

貝萊德執行長芬克（Larry Fink）表示，「這只是開端，就像我1970年代剛進入抵押擔保證券（MBS）市場時一樣。我認為，這就是金融工程（financial engineering）的下一個未來。」

次級房貸再現？

然而，這樣的說法也讓部分經歷過2007至2008年全球金融危機的市場人士產生警戒。當年大量房貸經過證券化與金融工程重新包裝，次級房貸危機最終演變為席捲全球的金融風暴。

IG市場分析師席克摩（Tony Sycamore）表示，「我的內心不禁想問，當年次級房貸剛開始變成主流產品時，是不是就是這樣的感覺？而那種創新最終成為觸動全球金融危機（GFC）的推手。」

▲醫師說，評估外用藥膏是否過量，關鍵不在於「幾公克」，而是面積、次數、天數與搭配方式。（示意圖／記者李佳蓉攝）

記者陳俊宏／綜合報導

腎臟科醫師洪永祥分享，一名奶奶只是擦個止痛藥膏，竟擦到要緊急洗腎。他提醒，止痛藥膏擦太多，腎臟真的會壞掉！4種「擦藥過量」行為，很多人天天犯，像是塗抹面積過大、塗藥後加上「密封包紮」。

擦止痛藥膏竟緊急洗腎

洪永祥在「洪永祥醫師的慢性腎衰竭攻城療法」臉書說，許多人以為止痛藥用吃的才傷腎，改用擦的就萬無一失；然而，醫學文獻曾記載一名74歲的奶奶，因肩背疼痛每天塗抹消炎止痛藥膏（NSAIDs），6周內抹光3大管，後來因雙腳嚴重水腫、呼吸急促就醫。

洪永祥指出，抽血發現奶奶蛋白尿嚴重且肌酸酐急遽飆升，引發急性腎衰竭與腎病症候群，甚至一度需要緊急洗腎！醫師發現她有明顯的腎間質腎炎（Interstitial Nephritis），所幸醫療團隊及時找出元兇並停用藥膏，腎功能才順利逆轉，免於終身洗腎。

洪永祥表示，外用藥真的會傷腎嗎？刊登於《英國臨床藥理學雜誌》（British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology）的研究指出，外用NSAIDs藥膏的全身性吸收量，雖然平均僅有口服劑量的5%至10%，大幅降低腸胃與腎臟負擔。

洪永祥提到，但國際權威醫學期刊《藥物安全》（Drug Safety）、《新英格蘭醫學雜誌》（NEJM）的回顧文獻同時警告，皮膚並非完全屏障，當誤踩劑量紅線時，血中藥物濃度依然會暴增，抑制腎臟前列腺素合成，導致腎血管收縮、腎血流量下降，誘發急性腎損傷（AKI）！

怎樣才算「明確過量」？4大NG行為

洪永祥說，評估外用藥膏是否過量，關鍵不在於「幾公克」，而是面積、次數、天數與搭配方式：

1、塗抹面積過大（超過全身表面積的10%）

當你同時塗抹雙腿膝蓋、兩邊小腿、腰部與雙肩（例如像擦身體乳液般大範圍塗抹），藥膏經由皮膚微血管大量吸收，全身吸收總量就會衝破腎臟安全臨界值。

2、單日總劑量與天數超標

單日用量：一天塗抹超過4次以上（例如癢了就擦、想到就補，1、2天就用光半條30g藥膏）。

連續天數：連續使用超過7天。藥膏是救急用，絕不能當成日常保養品長期天天擦！

3、「重複疊加」過量（最常見的隱形過量）

同時擦止痛藥膏、貼止痛貼布，頭痛時又吃了一顆口服止痛藥（如 Brufen）。三者成分常常都是 NSAIDs，加總起來的劑量會直接打爆腎臟代謝能力。

4、塗藥後加上「密封包紮」

塗完藥膏後，用保鮮膜、塑膠膜或過緊的繃帶包覆。皮膚學文獻證實，高溫高濕的封閉環境會使皮膚角質層水合度飆升，讓藥物吸收率暴增3到5倍，原本安全的用量瞬間變成毒性過量！

護腎安全金律

1、單次劑量

小關節擠約1粒花生米大小（2g），大關節2粒花生米大小（4g），薄薄抹開即可。

2、原則

局部薄塗、不疊加用藥、不保鮮膜密封、連續使用不超過一周。若疼痛持續超過7天未改善，請務必尋求專業醫師診斷！

記者陳俊宏／綜合報導

今天深夜11時（農曆7月1日子時）鬼門開，清水孟國際塔羅小孟老師分享鬼月22項禁忌，像夜晚不要曬衣服，不宜說「死」字，以免惹怒好兄弟；另外，生肖屬「鼠、豬、蛇、猴」當心有劫數。他並分享三大護身法寶，包括攜帶海鹽、佩戴艾草、多泡熱水澡；且多吃米血、肉粽、南瓜、大蒜，可防止好兄弟入侵。

鬼月22項禁忌一次看

1、不宜游泳

相傳跳水死的好兄弟倘若有冤屈，會因為無法轉世輪迴而找替身，也就是俗稱的「抓交替」。

2、不宜看屋齡30年以上老房

相傳往生者會在鬼月回到以前居住過的住家徘徊，倘若八字較輕，容易沖煞感冒。

3、避免半夜到醫院

相傳往生者死前較多記憶在醫院，若後代家裡沒有供奉祖先，往生者回不了家就容易在醫院徘徊。

4、避免傍晚到廟旁走動

相傳眾多枉死的好兄弟，因為找不到地方申冤，就會找廟宇神明協助，於是廟宇周圍會有較多好兄弟，因此一般宮廟鬼月期間不辦事。

5、鬼月不可直呼「好兄弟」為「鬼」

6、鬼月夜晚不宜曬衣服

相傳好兄弟找不到地方去，會依附在潮濕的衣服裡。

7、鬼月不宜持咒（唸咒）

相傳鬼月持咒容易招來更多好兄弟聽經，倘若所持的是具有「驅邪功效咒語」，則容易傷害到好兄弟。

8、半夜不宜大吼大叫

如果鬼月大吼大叫，容易驚嚇到好兄弟，導致睡眠品質變差。

9、鬼月不宜隨意拍打前方人的肩膀

相傳鬼月拍打前方人的肩膀會嚇到人，導致前方人魂魄不穩，易招好兄弟入侵而失神。

10、鬼月晚上不宜吹口哨

吹口哨音頻趨近陰間頻率，比較容易召喚好兄弟。

11、鬼月半夜不宜點檀香或薰香

香氣裊裊會吸引好兄弟前來環繞。

12、鬼月切莫拜陰廟

鬼月的陰廟會顯得更陰，因此八字太輕者在鬼月拜陰廟容易撞鬼。

13、鬼月不宜在山間、空曠地拍照

近期相機畫素越來越清晰，容易在鬼月捕捉到好兄弟的影子。

14、鬼月不宜一直說「死」字

以免惹怒好兄弟。

15、鬼月不宜玩試膽大會

喜歡冒險的年輕人喜愛在鬼月玩試膽大會、碟仙、筆仙等，當心請神容易送神難。

16、鬼月半夜時切莫撥打13個7或0

以免接通的是往生者。

17、鬼月半夜看鬼片

當心好兄弟一起陪看。

18、鬼月參加中元普渡切莫罵髒話

當心好兄弟在吃飯時不小心惹怒祂們，那就不好了。

19、鬼月到旅館

記得放包艾草粉或鼠尾草，有助於一夜好眠。

20、鬼月動刀

儘量選擇白天對身體較好。

21、鬼月搬家入厝

儘量挑選正中午對運勢較好。

22、鬼月娶親

儘量避免傍晚放鞭炮，以免夫妻失和。

「鼠、豬、蛇、猴」恐有劫數

小孟老師表示，生肖屬「鼠、豬、蛇、猴」在今天深夜11點至午夜12點之間，要小心沖煞；若在這時段一定要出門，建議身上放置艾草或攜帶一片樹葉，返家後或隔日再將其丟棄就可預防。

鬼月三大護身法寶

1、攜帶海鹽

前往醫院、山上或海邊等較陰的地方時，可先在口袋或包包放一包海鹽，離開返家途中將其丟棄。海鹽自身帶有淨化磁場的作用，會在身上形成很好的保護圈，當有沾附到不好的能量時，海鹽會中和它所帶來的負面影響。

2、佩戴艾草

隨身佩戴艾草會吸收陽氣，藉由充足的陽氣抵擋好兄弟入侵。

3、多泡熱水澡

鬼月屬陰月，熱水屬陽氣，多泡熱水澡能抵擋陰氣入侵，並保持身體健康。

小孟老師說，多吃米血、肉粽、南瓜、大蒜，可防止好兄弟入侵，祝大家在鬼月都可以萬事吉祥、萬事大吉。

我們想讓你知道…臺灣在思考未來臺海安全時，不應把日本視為一個獨立於美國之外的變數。日本的行動選擇，仍必須在美日同盟、駐日美軍運用，以及日本自身安全利益三者交織的結構中理解。

▲近年日本歷次《防衛白書》持續提高對臺海安全的關注，《安保三文件》也使日本安全政策逐步突破過去「專守防衛」的框架，首次明確提出建構「反擊能力」（對敵基地攻擊能力）。（圖／路透）

●荊元宙／淡江大學外交與國際關係學系兼任教授

臺灣社會談到臺海衝突時，最常討論的是美國是否介入，卻較少把日本放在同等重要的位置思考。然而，日本其實是臺海危機中無法忽略的角色。

日本是與臺灣地理距離最近的區域大國，也是美國在西太平洋重要的盟友之一，目前約有五點五萬名駐日美軍分布於沖繩及日本本土。

近年日本歷次《防衛白書》持續提高對臺海安全的關注，《安保三文件》也使日本安全政策逐步突破過去「專守防衛」的框架，首次明確提出建構「反擊能力」（對敵基地攻擊能力）。再加上首相高市早苗公開將「臺海有事」與日本「存立危機事態」相連結，臺灣已不能不正視日本在未來臺海衝突中的角色。

從模糊走向清晰過去日本對臺海問題基本採取模糊而審慎的態度。官方表述多半停留在「臺海和平穩定十分重要」以及「期待和平解決」等原則性說法，至於臺海有事時自衛隊將如何行動，則很少正面回答。

這種模糊有其現實考量。一方面，日本希望避免過度刺激北京，另一方面也必須面對和平憲法、集體自衛權以及國內政治爭議等限制。

然而，隨著中國軍力快速成長，近年在臺海周邊的軍事行動愈來愈頻繁，臺海問題在日本防衛政策中的優先程度也明顯升高，過去政策用語上的模糊逐漸朝向清晰化發展。甫出版的二○二六年《防衛白書》，便清楚反映這項趨勢。

白皮書將中國軍事動向定位為日本面臨「前所未有最大的戰略挑戰」，並特別指出，中國自二○二二年八月以後持續在臺灣周邊海空域舉行軍事演習，二○二五年四月與十二月的相關演訓，也顯示對臺軍事壓力並未降低。

日方認為，中方一方面企圖使解放軍在臺灣周邊的常態性活動逐漸形成既成事實，另一方面則藉由大規模演訓，持續強化對臺封鎖、對海上與地面目標打擊、制空、偵察與反潛等作戰能力。

臺海已成為日本安全問題必須注意的是，日本已不再只從「臺灣安全」的角度觀察臺海。《防衛白書》明確指出，中國在臺灣周邊的軍事活動同樣會直接影響日本西南諸島及周邊海空域安全。臺灣與日本西南島鏈距離極近，一旦臺海情勢升高，日本的海上交通線、離島防衛以及美日同盟運作都可能遭受波及。

換言之，臺海和平對日本而言，愈來愈接近自身安全問題。

中國海軍近年的遠海活動，也使這種威脅更加具體。白皮書列舉二○二五年「遼寧號」與「山東號」首次同時進入太平洋活動，並在遠離中國本土的海域進行艦載機起降訓練。中國第三艘航艦「福建號」也於同年服役。

在日本的安全視角下，這些發展意味著中國正在強化第一島鏈以外持續進行海空作戰的能力。未來一旦發生臺海危機，相關兵力不只可以用於對臺行動，也可能負責牽制美日軍力，甚至阻止外部部隊接近臺海。

因此，對日本而言，臺海危機所牽動的已包括西南諸島防衛、周邊海空域安全、重要海上交通線以及美日同盟嚇阻的可信度。

日本至今雖未正式宣告將在臺海衝突中直接出兵，但從《防衛白書》內容、西南諸島防衛部署、反擊能力建構，以及近年強化美日指揮管制協調等發展來看，日本正在逐步提高因應臺海有事的能力，已是相當清楚的事實。

法律限制仍在 同盟結構卻壓縮選擇當然，日本仍然受到法律與制度上的明確限制。自衛隊能否採取行動，必須經過國內法規範以及政府的事態認定。若臺海衝突被認定為「重要影響事態」，日本可向美軍等盟軍提供後方支援、補給、運輸、醫療、搜救與基地協助。若進一步被認定為「存立危機事態」，日本才可能有限度行使集體自衛權。若日本領土、領海、領空或者駐日美軍基地直接遭受攻擊，情勢則可能升高為日本自身的「武力攻擊事態」。

問題在於，一旦臺海真的發生戰爭，日本還能不能完全依自己的意願，決定是否置身事外？答案應是否定的。

只要美軍介入臺海，駐日美軍基地幾乎必然成為兵力投射、情報監偵與後勤補給的重要節點。根據日本現行安全法制，「存立危機事態」所要保護的「與日本有密切關係的他國」，在實際政策討論中最重要的對象就是美國。

因此，一旦美軍在臺海執行任務並遭到解放軍攻擊，日本很難完全把自己排除在衝突之外。美日同盟的結構，使美軍是否介入臺海，成為影響日本行動的關鍵因素。

日本西南諸島的地理位置更進一步壓縮了迴避空間。與那國、石垣、宮古與沖繩都位於臺海周邊。一旦戰事擴大，日本即使不以「保衛臺灣」作為行動理由，也可能基於保護國土、防衛離島、維持海上交通線與確保駐日美軍基地安全等任務，被逐步捲入衝突。

日本真正能選擇的是介入程度由此來看，高市早苗將臺海有事與日本「存立危機事態」相連結，真正的意義並不在於突然創造了一個日本介入臺海的新條件，而是把日本過去刻意保持模糊、卻始終存在的安全困境公開說出來。

因此，臺灣在思考未來臺海安全時，不應把日本視為一個獨立於美國之外的變數。日本的行動選擇，仍必須在美日同盟、駐日美軍運用，以及日本自身安全利益三者交織的結構中理解。

在此前提下，若討論日本是否有介入選擇權？其答案應是一旦美軍決定介入後，日本真正能夠選擇的空間，並非「是否介入」，而是視戰況決定「介入到什麼程度」。

美國總統川普上月前往土耳其參加北約峰會時，據稱透過外送餐車秘密換機，讓載有記者與幕僚的專機暴露在遭伊朗攻擊的風險之中。（法新社檔案照）

華盛頓郵報10日披露，1項秘密行動在美國總統專機「空軍1號」（Air Force One）起飛前，透過外送餐車將川普偷偷送下飛機，讓載有記者與幕僚的專機暴露在遭伊朗攻擊的明顯風險中，此事已引發對美國維安措施的質疑。

法新社11日指出，根據華盛頓郵報的報導，川普的安全團隊為了躲避暗殺威脅，而策劃了前述瞞天過海的行動，讓川普在7月8日總統專機停靠土耳其時離開飛機。

一些隨行媒體對於在不知情的情況下淪為誘餌表達憤怒，其他人則抱怨白宮的欺瞞與缺乏溝通。

川普在攝影機與記者的眾目睽睽下登上總統專機。法新社的照片顯示，專機前後各停靠1輛配備油壓升降機的餐車。

據報導，川普隨後迅速離開飛機，走進其中1個餐車廂體，並登上停在一旁的較小型美國空軍飛機。

約十幾名在空軍1號另一個獨立機艙等待、無法接觸川普的隨行記者，對換機一事毫不知情，並在與美國交戰的伊朗構成明顯威脅的情況下，搭乘該架飛機飛離土耳其。

1名未具名的白宮記者告訴華盛頓郵報：「當你簽約在白宮工作時，即使是文職人員，保護總統也是你工作的一部分。」

「但那不是我的工作。我的工作是報導總統。記者承擔風險是工作的一部分，但不是為了替總統承擔風險。」

1名美國官員告訴華郵，當時存在針對川普的伊朗可信威脅。機上隨行媒體團發出的報導提到，特勤局（Secret Service）下令起飛時，必須拉下遮陽板，這是戰區之外相當罕見的指令。

川普前往土耳其參加北大西洋公約組織（NATO）峰會的行程先前已引發側目，因為他抵達時搭乘的是由卡達贈送、並經改裝以搭載總統的豪華波音747客機。

但據報導，該機並未配備反飛彈安全系統，因此舊的空軍1號被派上用場。川普當時聲稱，新飛機被提前派往英國，是為了慰勞駐英美軍，並讓他們參觀。

在英國過境時，他回到卡達贈送的飛機上，並搭乘該機返回華府。當時被問及為何要求媒體拉下窗簾時，他表示：「因為你們大概在危險的航班上，因為我們必須對付那些卑鄙小人。」

川普對記者說：「如果我完了，你們也跟著完了。對吧？或許哪天你們會考慮轉行。」

白宮尚未直接回應這起換機事件。白宮通訊主任張振熙（Steven Cheung）在1份聲明中表示：「美國有許多敵人盯上他（川普），我們正運用手邊一切工具來應對這些威脅。」

2000年，美國前總統柯林頓（Bill Clinton）在從印度前往巴基斯坦的途中，在最後一刻更換總統專機，並使用1架載有特勤局探員的誘餌飛機。

另一位前總統拜登（Joe Biden）2023年訪問烏克蘭時，在搭乘飛機與火車的漫長旅程中，也處於極度保密狀態，儘管當時有1名記者與1名攝影師隨行。

南韓總統李在明11日主持國務會議，決定國防部與防衛事業廳新設專門機構，負責推進核動力潛艦建造計畫，據悉軍方計畫開發3艘8000噸級核潛艦。

韓聯社報導，南韓國防部表示，國務會議審議表決包括上述內容的「國防部和其所屬機構職務條例」及「防衛事業廳和其所屬機構職務條例」修正案。國防部新設「核動力潛艇政策企劃團」，統籌核潛艦建設所需政策與制度，以及主導相關機構之間的合作。

防衛事業廳計畫將原有的「南韓型潛艦計畫團」重組擴編為「核動力潛艦計畫團」，並新設「核動力潛艦計畫組」和「核動力系統計畫組」，主導整個核潛艦設計與建造工程，以及核潛艦反應爐等核心技術開發工作。

報導指出，南韓政府目前正以「張保皋N計畫」為名，推進採用濃度低於20％濃縮鈾的國產核潛艦建造計畫，並爭取在2030年代中期下水的原型艦，在2030年後期實現部署。雖然具體參數尚未公開，但據悉軍方計畫開發3艘8000噸級核潛艦。

在國務會議上表決通過的上述修正案，將於本月14日起實施，國防部和防衛事業廳旗下新機構也將於同日啟動。

美國已正式批准南韓爭取建造核潛艦的計畫。李在明去年10月與美國總統川普在慶州舉行峰會，公開請求川普允許南韓獲得核動力潛艦燃料，以加強對北韓和中國船隻的追蹤，減輕美軍的運作負擔。美國海軍作戰部長柯德爾（Daryl Caudle）在受訪時公開表示，一旦南韓核動力潛艦建造完成，華府期盼韓方運用這項能力牽制中國威脅。

週二美股漲跌互現。（路透）

〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕受Alphabet等大型科技股疲弱影響，且投資人對達成中東和平協議變得更加悲觀，週二美股漲跌互現，道瓊工業指數下跌下跌184.13點、0.34%，標普500指數下跌0.32%，那斯達克指數下跌0.60%，費城半導體指數上漲0.87%，台積電ADR上漲3.59美元、0.86%，收在422.06美元。

綜合外媒報導，Alphabet股價下跌3.6%，自從Google上週宣布重組其人工智慧部門以來，近期股價承壓，在過去5個交易日中已連續第4個交易日下跌。輝達和蘋果則是回吐早盤漲幅，最終收低，其中晶片製造商輝達週一宣布將與6家大型資產管理公司合作，籌集超過5000億美元用於AI基礎設施，但表現疲軟，下跌0.02%。

由於中東衝突局勢不明朗，油價上漲，伊朗最高國家安全委員會秘書重申，在滿足相關條件之前，荷姆茲海峽不會重新開放。美國西德州中質原油期貨收盤上漲1.3%，至每桶83.20美元。國際基準布蘭特原油期貨上漲約1.4%，至每桶88.91美元。

接下來，投資人將關注關鍵的通膨數據，美國7月消費者物價指數（CPI）週三公布，生產者物價指數（PPI）將於週四公布。在疲軟的就業報告令聯準會對經濟前景的預期變得更複雜之後，這些數據顯得尤為重要。

道瓊工業指數下跌184.13點或0.34%，收報53791.85點。

標普500指數下跌24.91點或0.32%，收在7728.20點。

立法院長韓國瑜不滿國民黨團總召傅崐萁多次缺席115年中央政府總預算朝野協商，昨天當場嗆聲要傅崐萁乾脆辭職，更直言立法院被黑暗力量控制住了。對此，有黨內立委緩頰稱是誤會，因有部分立委堅持不撤預算刪減案，甚至揚言「直接投票輸贏」，並表示，傅崐萁在大罷免後已經算「收斂」很多，看協商過程就知道，「不是傅崐萁一個人說的算」。

有藍委表示，政黨協商這麼多次，是韓國瑜希望能夠透過協商尋求更多的契機，雖然傅崐萁沒有出席，但黨團書記長林沛祥帶回去的協商結論，傅崐萁都照單全收，也全力支持韓國瑜，「這是事實，傅崐萁如果最後沒有同意不會再繼續開這麼多次協商」，並非真的癱瘓議事。

藍委說，因為有很多提案委員不滿，為什麼要協商這麼多次，對於刪減預算非常堅持，就算被勸很多預算已經花了，刪掉要行政單位吐回去，只會被操作得更嚴重，但有些委員就是不聽，堅持要刪。還有委員緩頰說，還要下個會期的預算要處理，這些刪減案等下會期再來決戰，但仍有委員堅持不放行。

藍委指出，從事實面來看，並沒有造成會議的癱瘓，「但國民黨團必須要有自己的立場，傅崐萁夾在中間確實兩難」，一邊是委員，一邊是院長，又不能不顧委員。雖然大家都了解院長有時間壓力，但這過程確實有誤會，因為真的是有委員很糾結，看協商過程就知道了，「不是傅崐萁一個人說的算」、「黨團三長能夠否決委員的提案嗎？」

該藍委直言，「我們的確很不爽行政院」。雖然有一些委員的行事作風雖然比較強烈，但傅崐萁也要顧及到他們的想法，所以用這樣的方式去呈現，配合韓國瑜多開幾次協商，但國民黨團的立場還是一樣，「院長辛苦了，但我們該保留的還是要保留」。

有委員強調，很多預算去年都刪除，但部會並沒有因此在該處無法支應，「沒有這筆錢也是活得很好」，那為什麼今年還要編這筆錢呢？完全沒有道理。而這樣的說法也說服的部分委員，雖然大家希望預算趕快通過，也沒有要為難韓國瑜，但不能失去監督立場。

EIA指，即使全球貿易格局明年初恢復正常，中東部分產油國明年底前亦難以完全恢復生產。（法新社資料圖片）美國能源信息署（EIA）表示，即使全球貿易格局明年初恢復正常，中東部分產油國亦難以在明年底前，將原油產量恢復至中東衝突前水平。

EIA估計，中東上月每日有約550萬桶原油產能停擺，佔全球原油消費量逾5%。隨著近期再度出現船隻受襲，預料霍爾木茲海峽8月將繼續受到嚴重限制；組織目前假設9月起原油運輸量將緩慢回升。

EIA預期，至明年底，中東地區每日仍有約60萬桶產能處於停產狀態。

由於供應缺口擴大，EIA上調今明年油價預測，預料今年布蘭特期油平均價格每桶86.81美元，紐約期油均價80.88美元；明年則分別逾69美元及逾65美元。

農曆7月避開禁忌只算防守！命理專家林霖提醒真正的開運是「主動出擊」。（林霖提供）

〔娛樂頻道／綜合報導〕擔心農曆7月逢喪煞星、子午大衝，諸事不宜？今晚11點（子時）正式跨入農曆7月，民間習俗中常提醒大家謹言慎行、尊重禁忌，不少人也會開始關心，這個月哪些事情適合做，哪些事情最好少碰？

命理專家林霖表示，農曆7月其實不必過度恐慌，但做事確實要比平常更穩、更有分寸。每個生肖在這個月份，都有不同的「宜」與「忌」。有人適合主動爭取，有人應該低調收斂，也有人要特別注意情緒、細節與人際關係。

林霖特別整理出2026丙午年農曆7月「12生肖宜忌」，提醒大家掌握節奏，避開容易犯下的錯誤，就能翻轉劣勢、持盈保泰，一路旺到年底

◎鼠

．宜：接受挑戰、主動學習【開拓財源】

農曆7月容易出現新的任務、工作或學習機會。面對陌生的事情，不妨先了解、再嘗試，願意學習會替自己打開新的方向。

．忌：自我否定、急著拒絕【阻斷財路】

不要因為擔心做不好，就在機會出現時先說「我不行」。反而容易錯過下半年重要的賺錢轉機與翻身財路。

◎牛

．宜：專注本業、穩定累積【正財入庫】

過去付出的努力開始有機會看見成果，適合把時間放在工作、專業與實際收入上，穩穩做事就會有回報。

．忌：捲入是非、議論他人【破財傷身】

職場越順，越要保持低調。少參與八卦、少評論別人的事情才能避免好不容易累積的成果與人際資源受損。

◎虎

．宜：事先規劃、按部就班【穩健理財】

這個月事情較多，最好先列出順序與步驟，再一件一件完成。越有規劃，越能減少忙亂。

．忌：急於求成、同時硬撐【衝動耗財】

不要什麼都想一次完成，也不要為了證明能力承擔過多。做得快不如做得穩，方向清楚最重要。

◎兔

．宜：改變方法、虛心請教【暗財入門】

遇到卡關時，適合換個角度思考，也可以向有經驗的人尋求建議。別人的一句提醒，可能就能解開困局。

．忌：固執己見、反覆硬碰【耗損資金】

如果原本的方法已經無效，就不要一再重複。越不願意調整，越容易讓問題拖得更久。

◎龍

．宜：主動出擊、積極爭取【搶占財機】

有想法就去執行，有合作機會就主動洽談。這個月越願意走出去，越容易遇到新的可能。

．忌：坐等機會、遲遲不動【錯失金脈】

不要只想不做，也不要等到所有條件都完美才開始。太過被動，反而會讓機會從身邊溜走。

◎蛇

．宜：承擔責任、展現領導【升官加薪】

人際運勢順暢，容易獲得主管、同事或客戶的信任。若被交付重要任務，可以勇敢接下來。

．忌：害怕壓力、臨陣退縮【過路財神】

不要因為擔心自己準備不足，就把舞台讓給別人。這個月越願意承擔，越能建立影響力。

◎馬

．宜：放慢速度、確認細節【守住財庫】

處理工作、合約、金錢往來與重要決定時，最好多看一次、多問一句。細心能替自己避開不必要的麻煩。

．忌：急躁行事、草率決定【金錢虧損】

越想趕快完成，越容易忽略小地方。這個月凡事寧可慢一點，也不要因為求快造成重做。

◎羊

．宜：量力而為、安排休息【保健守財】

事情再多，也要保留體力與時間照顧自己。適時休息，反而能讓後續表現更穩定。

．忌：逞強硬撐、過度消耗【勞心傷財】

不要每件事都要求自己做到滿分，也不要把所有責任都攬在身上。勉強過頭，容易影響身心狀態。

◎猴

．宜：保持謙虛、分享成果【以財引財】

即使有好表現，也要記得感謝團隊與身邊協助的人。懂得分享功勞，能讓人際與好運更穩定。

．忌：得意忘形、居功自傲【遭嫉破財】

越受到肯定，越要注意言行。若把功勞全放在自己身上，容易引起反感或招來不必要的是非。

◎雞

．宜：拓展人脈、主動交流【貴人帶財】

適合多參加聚會、聯絡朋友或尋找合作。一個介紹、一場聊天，都可能帶來新的資源。

．忌：封閉自己、凡事獨撐【孤芳失財】

不要什麼事情都自己扛，也不要拒絕別人的幫助。過度孤軍奮戰，反而容易錯失合作機會。

◎狗

．宜：設定目標、踏實執行【聚沙成財】

先把自己真正想完成的事情寫清楚，再拆成可以執行的小步驟，穩穩向前。腳踏實地執行，資金與資產就能如滾雪球般穩定成長。

．忌：盲目忙碌、缺少方向【白忙無財】

不要每天很忙，卻不知道自己為何而忙。若目標模糊，付出再多，也容易事倍功半。

◎豬

．宜：保持彈性、隨時調整【活絡財源】

計畫遇到變化時，不妨保留彈性，重新安排順序或做法。願意變通，反而容易找到新的出路。

．忌：死守舊法、抗拒變動【財務僵化】

不要因為習慣原本的方式，就排斥新的建議。越固守不變，越容易被環境拖住。

林霖老師提醒，農曆7月的「宜忌」，不是要大家什麼都不敢做，而是提醒每個人在行動之前，多一分思考、多一分謹慎。運勢好的生肖，不要因為順利就失去分寸；運勢需要調整的生肖，也不必過度擔心。只要避開急躁、自滿、固執與是非，把該做的事情做好，把不該碰的事情放下，就能平穩走過農曆7月。

電動車的養護成本相當低，不過中古車殘值卻讓不少有意購買的車主卻步，美國市調機構調研顯示，美國電動車 Lucid Motors 的 Lucid Air，用車五年後，只剩下不到 4 折的車價殘值，讓外界更加關注電動車「新車越便宜、中古車越不值錢」的惡性循環。

Lucid 過去以高階 Air 車系切入市場，Air Grand Touring 售價曾達 11 萬 4,900 美元，後續推出 Air Touring 與 Air Pure，售價分別降至 7 萬 9,900 美元及 6 萬 9,900 美元，希望藉此擴大市場接受度。即使推出較具市場競爭力的 Gravity 電動 SUV，Lucid 仍持續面臨銷售與財務壓力。

美國電動車 Lucid Motors 的 Lucid Air，用車五年後，只剩下不到 4 折的車價殘值，讓外界更加關注電動車「新車越便宜、中古車越不值錢」的惡性循環。

問題在於，當車廠不斷透過降價、折扣或低利率方案刺激新車銷售，既有車主手中的中古車價值也可能同步受到壓縮。原本花費高價購買的新車，在官方大幅優惠後，市場上的同款新車價格降低，二手車自然更難維持原有行情。

根據 iSeeCars 最新資料，Lucid Air 在五年後可能會損失 62.7% 的車價，而且這還只是樂觀的估算，加上許多早期的 Lucid Air 都已經過保，讓車主能更難賣車。當新一代車款提供更長續航、更快充電速度與更完整的智慧科技，舊車的競爭力便可能快速下滑。

對車主而言，殘值下跌不只是帳面上的損失，也會直接影響換車成本。若車輛貸款尚未繳清，中古車價格大幅低於剩餘貸款金額，甚至可能出現負資產問題，使車主換購新車時必須額外補足價差。

Lucid 的案例值得其他電動車品牌警惕，降價確實能降低消費者購車門檻，但若頻繁調整新車價格，卻可能犧牲品牌保值性，甚至讓既有車主對品牌失去信任。

（中央社記者廖漢原華盛頓11日專電）美國伺服器大廠美超微今天公布業績。受惠於AI基建進入加速期，美超微產品及服務銷量較去年同期大幅提高近一倍。台裔董事長梁見後表示，客戶訂單已排到下年度。

伺服器大廠美超微（Super Micro Computer）11日公布2026財政年度第4季業績，在AI數據中心強勁需求下，營運大幅成長，銷售淨額達111億美元，較前季102億美元持續上揚，接近去年同期58億美元的一倍，調整後每股盈餘1.70美元，均高於分析師預期。

毛利率達17.5%，遠高於前季9.9%及去年同期9.5%。淨利為11.78億美元，遠高於前季4.83億美元及去年同期4.95億美元。

美超微台裔創辦人、董事長暨執行長梁見後（Charles Liang）聲明指出，在人工智慧及資訊科技策略下，公司營運持續強勁，上個財政年度客戶增加數百家，新訂單超過600億美元，需求清單已排至2027財政年度。

梁見後表示，市場需求仍在加速，美超微的客戶優質多元，廣泛採用先進數據中心構建模組處理方案（Data Center Building Block Solutions，DCBBS）。加上持續投資先進技術，擴大生產規模並符合全球標準法規，客戶可建立更快及更具效能的AI架構。

（中央社舊金山11日綜合外電報導）受惠於市場對人工智慧（AI）雲端運算服務的強勁需求，CoreWeave今天公布季度營收超越華爾街預期，且虧損幅度低於市場預估，帶動股價在盤後交易中大漲近10%。

路透社報導，諸如CoreWeave與同業Nebius等所謂新興雲端業者（neoclouds），主要向其他科技公司提供硬體與雲端運算資源，隨著企業持續投入資金發展AI，相關需求也大幅攀升。

CoreWeave與輝達（Nvidia）關係密切，是輝達AI晶片算力的主要提供者，今年以來已吸引多家知名客戶，並與Meta和Claude開發商Anthropic簽署雲端運算資源協議。

CoreWeave公布截至6月30日，合約剩餘營收為1042億美元，高於首季末的994億美元。此外，CoreWeave表示，本季又獲得超過250億美元的新客戶承諾。

共同創辦人兼執行長英特拉托（Michael Intrator）表示：「CoreWeave在本季達成重要的轉捩點，我們的規模將開始轉化為不斷提高的營運槓桿效果。」

根據倫敦證券交易所集團（LSEG）彙整的數據，CoreWeave公布在截至6月底的第2季，總營收達到25.8億美元，高於分析師平均預期的25.6億美元。

CoreWeave經調整後的每股虧損為1.03美元，低於市場預期的每股虧損1.20美元。

為滿足市場激增的需求，CoreWeave一直在加大基礎設施投資，光是6月這季的資本支出就達94億美元，高於前3個月的68億美元，也遠高於去年第2季的29億美元。

CoreWeave本季新建8座資料中心，使得全球運作中的資料中心總數達到51座。（編譯：張曉雯）1150812

出生於台灣宜蘭的新加坡名廚黃清標，有「新加坡廚界教父」美譽，是百年官府菜「譚府宴(祖庵菜)」的嫡系傳人，曾於新加坡文華東方酒店、金沙酒店擔任行政總廚、中餐執行總監數十年，雖已於2019年退休，但至今依舊偶現蹤於各個美食競賽活動中；人稱「斌哥」的鍾漢彬則是16歲入行，擁有27年廚藝資歷的高雄烤鴨港點人氣餐廳創辦人，曾是高雄已歇業的大八大飯店及林皇宮的主廚。

鍾漢彬深受譚府宴招牌名菜「黃金湯」吸引，決定拜黃清標為師，承襲極講究火候的譚料理精髓，曾於2015年亞洲國際廚神挑戰賽中榮獲個人特金獎。為兩人牽起師徒緣的「黃金湯」，也稱黃燜金湯或譚府祖庵金湯，是道精準拿捏熬煮六小時，使鮮雞、全鴨、雞腳、瘦肉與雞的精華與膠質完全釋放，才能帶出濃白卻又透著金黃色澤的濃香好湯。但真正讓鍾漢彬感動的是，親眼看到60幾歲黃清標身為名廚，卻還是願意直接站到爐台前，從容不迫地做出客人點的每一道菜，為的就是希望做好「傳承」這件事，手把手教年輕人基本功。

全站首選：(影)蕭旭岑稱馬英九不可能講「台灣是一個國家」 黃暐瀚搬影片打臉

「斌哥」在2020年自立門戶，在高雄河堤社區商圈創設「鴨點棧」，撐過疫情時期的慘澹經營後，瞬間升級成熱門餐廳，招牌的烤鴨更是創下一年可賣出1萬5千隻的好業績。近日更在華夏路開設分店，除了「烤鴨多吃」，菜單也增加更多樣化的港式點心，擅長廣東大菜的鍾漢彬，還有活龍蝦、活鮑魚等生猛海鮮來製作更多客製化的料理。

主打的烤鴨選用花蓮來的櫻桃鴨，每隻固定重量2.8公斤，作法屬於廣東式，較著重香料的塗抹醃漬，先均勻抹上醃料後又加上縫針、吹氣、燙皮、淋醋水、風乾、烘烤、油淋等多重步驟，才能成就鴨皮薄脆、裡肉香嫩又多汁的質地。師傅還會現場切割、快刀片下金黃酥透鴨皮，又或是厚實的連皮帶肉之部位。

烤鴨吃法千變萬化，「斌哥」總共研發出大約9種，除一般人熟知的片鴨外，還有生菜鴨鬆、白菜鴨架湯、芋香身滾鴨粥、銀芽炒鴨絲等吃法，「撈鴨絲」概念更是援引自新加坡、馬來西亞當地過年必吃的「撈魚生」而研發出的創意菜。不敗菜色還有晶瑩蝦餃皇、鮮蝦腐皮卷、 洋梨鹹水餃、脆皮海鮮腸粉、黑金流沙包、魚子蒸燒賣、紅油炒手等。

輝達（ Nvidia ）今天表示，已與6家大型金融機構合作推出運算融資平台，目標為人工智慧（ AI ）基礎建設籌集超過 5000 億美元的第三方資金。

路透社報導，此舉凸顯出 AI 算力需求激增，正吸引機構投資者進場；與此同時，各國政府、企業及新創公司紛紛積極擴建資料中心，以支應 AI 運算需求。

大型科技企業已表示， AI 支出不會放緩，預計今年合計支出將超過 7300 億美元。

輝達已與阿波羅（ Apollo ）、貝萊德（ BlackRock ）、黑石集團（ Blackstone ）、布魯克菲爾德投資管理公司（ Brookfield ）、高盛（ Goldman Sachs ）及 KKR 簽署合作備忘錄，合作建立上述融資平台。

這項計畫旨在讓前沿 AI 開發商、企業、政府及雲端服務供應商更廣泛取得輝達的基礎設施，同時為大型資產管理公司及私人資本機構創造期限更長、與使用量掛鉤的投資機會。

輝達執行長黃仁勳表示：「這些融資平台將協助客戶大規模取得稀缺的運算資源，並建造 AI 工廠，為 AI 時代的各個產業和國家提供動力。」

輝達表示，這些安排將為客戶「以具吸引力的利率，創造大規模的專用資金池」。

輝達並未透露融資條件、各家企業的投資承諾金額，也未公布計畫中的 5000 億美元資金投入時間表。（編譯：陳昱婷） 1150811

宏碁營運長高樹國遭爆與資深總監許德箴發展五年婚外情，內部更傳出許女插手人事及決策，被質疑成為「地下營運長」，甚至傳出霸凌不服從的員工。知名律師李怡貞對此評論指出，兩位高階主管身處權力核心，私人情感糾葛已嚴重影響公司治理，若連私生活都無法自律，恐難以服眾。李怡貞更直言，女方身為優秀主管卻深陷婚外情相當不值，且在權力遊戲中尋找真愛極易崩塌，如今醜聞曝光恐面臨職涯危機。對此宏碁官方回應，因涉及個人隱私，公司不予評論，此事件已引發外界對企業管理與職場倫理的廣泛討論。宏碁（2353）營運長高樹國遭《鏡週刊》爆料，與自家公司的美女資深總監許德箴發展長達5年的婚外情，引發外界關注，爆料者痛批，許德箴插手人事，儼然成為地下營運長。對此，律師李怡貞直言，這件事女方最傷，如今已經沒有退路了。

宏碁營運長高樹國（左）遭爆料偷吃美女總監許德箴長達五年。（圖／記者余國棟攝影）李怡貞在臉書粉專「女人大律師李怡貞」發文表示，這兩位緋聞主角都不是公司裡的一般員工，而是握有職位、資源與決策影響力的高階主管，一旦私人關係被質疑跨進人事、升遷甚至產品決策，問題就從私德一路燒進公司治理。

李怡貞說，尤其是營運長，手上握的不只是單一部門，而是涉及集團營運、子公司發展與重要決策的權力。

《鏡週刊》報導，宏碁內部爆料者指控，小三在公司影響力逐漸超出原有職掌，被指介入人事及產品決策，還會參與部分與自身業務關聯不大的應酬及高爾夫球活動，儼然是「地下營運長」。

李怡貞說，員工控訴不服小三指揮，就遭到刁難、排擠甚至霸凌，導致有人因此離職，內部申訴也無效。

她直言其實這種故事一直在發生，如果管理者連自己的私人情慾都沒辦法控制跟好好管理，到底要怎麼樣能管理好公司？取信下屬或員工？至於經歷優秀豐富的小三，看來一路走來也是優秀的女性，50歲卻這樣偷情，其實很掉價。

李怡貞表示，別在權力遊戲裡尋找真愛，靠自己站穩腳跟，才是職場上最大的底氣。靠關係得來的，隨時會崩塌；靠自己踏出來的，才叫退路。只可惜被爆出來，顯然沒有退路，或許只能退出。

對於宏碁傳出高層桃色風波，宏碁公關回應：「我們已知悉相關事件。由於涉及個人隱私，我們無法評論。」

受西南風影響，全台今（12）日持續悶熱，各地高溫上看35度，桃園以北及彰化局部地區恐達36度以上。氣象專家吳德榮指出，雖然西北太平洋颱風及熱帶低壓對台無直接威脅，但「季風環流」持續輸送水氣，導致大氣不穩定。今日南部地區整天有局部短暫陣雨，中部以北及東半部午後需提防局部雷陣雨，北部山區有大雨機率。未來一週至下週五，台灣持續處於不穩定天氣型態，午後強對流頻繁，易伴隨雷擊、強風及瞬間強降雨，請民眾務必留意最新氣象資訊，並做好防曬與防中暑準備。今（12）日受西南風影響，南部整天不定時有局部短暫陣雨或雷雨，部分地區雨勢會比較大一些，其他地區為多雲到晴，清晨至上午中部有零星短暫陣雨或雷雨，午後中部以北及東半部有局部短暫雷陣雨，北部山區有局部大雨發生的機率，中午過後請留意天氣的變化；溫度方面，各地高溫約32至35度，桃園以北及彰化有局部36度以上高溫發生的機率，天氣悶熱。此外，日本氣象廳觀測到日本南方海面熱帶性低氣壓，最快24小時內恐升級為今年第17號颱風「南卡」。

氣象專家吳德榮在「洩天機教室」專欄中指出，最新（12日2時）氣象署「路徑潛勢預測圖」顯示，西北太平洋有一輕颱、一熱帶低壓，第16號輕颱「琵鷺」，脫離「季風環流」（Monsoon gyre），向東北遠離，迅速減弱中。另一熱帶低壓在「季風環流」南側，即將發展為輕颱，因垂直風切大、將維持最弱的等級、並環繞「季風環流」移動。兩者皆與臺灣無關；但「季風環流」的存在，對維持臺灣附近的西南風及南海水氣的輸送，居關鍵角色。

左圖：今(12日)晨4時累積雨量圖顯示，西南部已有局部降雨。右圖：最新氣象署「路徑潛勢預測圖」顯示，西北太平洋有一輕颱、一熱帶低壓，第16號輕颱「琵鷺」，脫離「季風環流」(Monsoon gyre)，向東北遠離，迅速減弱中。另一熱帶低壓在「季風環流」南側，即將發展為輕颱，環繞「季風環流」移動。「季風環流」的存在，對維持臺灣附近的西南風及南海水氣的輸送，居關鍵角色。（圖／翻攝自洩天機教室官網）吳德榮表示，最新（11日20時）歐洲（ECMWF）模式模擬顯示，今日至週六（12至15日）「季風環流」維持了臺灣附近的西南風及其從南海輸送的水氣，持續「大氣不穩定」的型態；迎風面西南部有局部降雨，「大氣不穩定」、中部以北午後亦有局部雷陣雨的機率，有較大雨勢；中部以北未降雨前及東半部白天晴熱，應注意防曬、防中暑。今日各地氣溫如下：北部24至37度、中部24至37度、南部24至35度、東部24至37度。

吳德榮透露，最新模式模擬顯示，週日至下週五（16至21日）「季風環流」已西移減弱，臺灣附近轉變為低壓帶影響，水氣仍很多，持續「大氣不穩定」的型態，各地偶有局部降雨，午後常有強對流發展，白天未降雨前仍偏熱。因強對流常伴隨「雷擊、強風、瞬間強降雨…」等劇烈天氣，要注意短期的天氣訊息及特報。

BLACKPINK迎來出道10週年，4名成員Jisoo、Jennie、Rosé、Lisa今（8）日合體開直播。（圖／翻攝自WEVERSE）南韓超級女團BLACKPINK於本月8日迎來出道10週年，本該是值得全球粉絲普天同慶的大日子，沒想到所屬經紀公司YG娛樂卻僅以簡單的粉絲見面會與周邊商品倉促帶過，引發廣大BLINK（粉絲名）強烈不滿，重砲轟炸公司與藝人「根本太沒心！」眼看風波越演越烈，成員Rosé在沉寂多日後，終於首度發聲，在粉絲社群上傳千字長文，坦言自己也覺得這次活動「有許多遺憾」，並多次向粉絲致歉：「真的很抱歉。」

成員Rosé在沉寂多日後，終於首度發聲。（圖／資料照）Rosé在文章開頭透露，這幾天內心其實想了非常多，之所以沒有在第一時間回應，是因為非常理解粉絲對於十週年活動的失望與憤怒，因此花了許多時間思考該如何向大家解釋。她坦言，知道自己的沉默可能會讓BLINK感到更加孤單與受傷，光是想到這一點，心情就無比沉重。對Rosé而言，BLACKPINK與BLINK共同走過的這10年具有無可取代的意義，她最希望的就是能跟粉絲好好慶祝，原本相當期待8月8日當天大家都能度過幸福的時光，沒想到事情最終未能如願，讓她感到相當自責與抱歉。

回顧這10年的點點滴滴，Rosé感性表示，BLACKPINK之所以能獲得如此巨大的喜愛，正是因為與BLINK建立了互相珍視的深厚情感。當活動結束、自己獨自回到家後，累積的情緒瞬間湧上心頭，才需要時間慢慢消化並鼓起勇氣面對大家。最後她也不忘向粉絲溫情喊話，希望能與BLINK繼續創造更多美好的回憶，並告白「我愛你們」，盼能撫平粉絲失望的心情。

證交所昨（11）日公告新增統新（6426）1檔處置股，因最近6個營業日累計漲幅超過3成，自今（12）日起至8月18日進入處置交易，期間改採每2分鐘人工撮合一次，投資人進出須留意流動性變化。

統新近期搭上矽光子題材熱潮，股價明顯轉強。統新11日盤中多數時間仍在平盤以下震盪，直到收盤前才翻紅，終場上漲0.5元、漲幅0.23%，收在218元；盤中最高219元、最低208元，高低價差達11元，成交量1735張，短線籌碼仍相當活躍。

證交所公告指出，統新最近6個營業日累積收盤價漲幅達33.74%，值得注意的是，台股處置股新制已自8月10日正式上路，過去投資人熟悉的5分鐘、20分鐘分盤撮合制度出現重大調整。依新制規定，處置期間原則縮短為5個營業日，撮合時間也統一改為每2分鐘一次，降低過去處置股票交易時間拉長、流動性大幅下降的情況。

統新屬於矽光子相關概念股，近期在市場資金持續追逐高速傳輸、AI資料中心與矽光子題材下，股價短線快速走高。不過，從此次遭列處置來看，證交所已針對股價漲幅、成交量與週轉率等交易異常情況啟動管控。法人提醒，處置並不代表公司基本面出現問題，也不等於股價一定會下跌，而是交易所針對短期交易過熱採取的市場管理措施。

野村投信看好全球資金板塊位移，重磅推出國內首見的「野村台日優選多重資產基金」，鎖定台灣強勢科技股與日本企業價值重估的雙引擎契機。該檔基金預計於8月31日至9月4日正式展開募集，由合作金庫商業銀行擔任保管銀行，企圖為投資人一舉網羅台日兩大市場的成長紅利。

雙引擎優勢互補 打造跨國資產配置新解方

野村投信策略暨行銷處主管張繼文指出，過去由美股獨攬全球目光的投資格局正在悄悄改變，市場目光逐步向外延伸。台灣憑藉著在全球半導體供應鏈中無可替代的關鍵地位，搭配AI應用爆發、雲端服務巨頭持續擴大資本支出以及企業獲利支撐，展現出強勁的成長爆發力。

另一方面，日本經濟順利擺脫長年的低成長與通縮陰霾，在薪資調漲與內需回溫的雙重帶動下，加上日本政府大力推動半導體、AI與能源轉型等戰略計畫，企業治理改革更有效推升了資本效率。儘管日股先前已創下歷史新高，但整體評價面並未出現過熱情況，顯示其經濟結構轉型所帶來的「新價值」仍具備龐大上檔空間。

聚焦台日尖端產業 布局策略兼顧攻守動能

在投資組合的架構規劃上，該檔基金採取動態配置策略，鎖定股票部位約佔50%至70%、債券部位約佔30%至50%。

其中，股票配置巧妙結合了台股的成長動能與日股的互補特性，預定前十大成分股囊括台灣科技與半導體供應鏈中的翹楚，包含川湖、台光電、台積電、健策、聯發科、鴻勁、欣興電、穎崴與旺矽等；日本企業則納入全球知名的武田製藥，藉由跨國產業的交織，在全力衝刺AI成長動能的同時，也能適度平衡產業分佈並兼具防禦效益。

多元債券靈活隨行 強化對抗市場波動韌性

針對基金經理操作與風險控管，野村台日優選多重資產基金經理人劉璁霖分析，台股加權指數中電子股比重逼近八成，而日本東證指數的非金融及電子產業佔比則將近七成，兩者相互搭配正好能完美截長補短。歷史統計數據顯示，若在過去五年同步配置台日雙市場合集，其累積報酬率與風險報酬比皆表現亮眼。

除了核心股票部位外，基金亦全面納入日企美元債、全球投資級債、非投資等級債以及新興市場債等多元債券資產，期望在面對市場短線震盪加劇或潛在的系統性風險時，發揮絕佳的分散風險與降低波動效果。

民進黨台北市長參選人沈伯洋提出打造「運動驛站」願景，計劃在捷運站、公園等處設置寄物與盥洗設施，以節省市民運動前後的零碎時間。此構想遭部分人士嘲諷，但政治工作者周軒指出，韓國首爾及日本等地早已實施類似政策，旨在方便跑者轉換健身與生活需求。沈伯洋強調，這類設施在國際機場與車站已趨於普遍，是服務市民的便民之舉。針對外界抹黑，沈伯洋回應，接軌國際的政策常遭刻意扭曲，強調該規劃是為了讓台北更具國際競爭力，並呼籲大眾理性看待便民市政，而非以負面標籤阻礙城市進步與現代化發展。民進黨籍台北市長參選人沈伯洋公布五大願景，打造完整市政生態系。在「時間（Time）」主軸中，沈伯洋提出設置「運動驛站」的概念，捷運站、登山口、公園提供寄物、換衣及沖洗設施，節省運動前後的零碎時間。政治工作者周軒表示，韓國首爾去年就開始實施，「實在不懂這個政策有什麼好取笑的？」也釣出沈伯洋親自回應。

沈伯洋拋出「捷運站提供換衣、沖洗設施」的論點引發熱議，甚至被簡化成在捷運站洗澡。沈伯洋表示，新北市雙溪曾有交通設施開闢盥洗室，日本皇居有類似設施，國外的機場、火車站越來越常見；他表示，跑友、山友不斷向他提出建議，服務人民也能為民省下時間。

周軒在臉書發文表示，為什麼台北市被說已經停滯很久了嗎？因為好幾任的市長從來都沒有告訴大家，外面的世界是什麼樣子，更別說讓台北跟上腳步了。

周軒提到，某一粉專在嘲笑沈伯洋提出的「運動驛站」概念，稱「捷運站可以洗澡是要讓遊民去洗嗎？」他上網搜尋，韓國首爾去年就開始這樣實施，首爾的地鐵車站「可以洗澡」，是一個特色車站的計劃，為了讓跑者可以在地鐵站快速在健身與生活間轉換。「我實在不懂這個政策有什麼好取笑的？」

貼文一出引起熱議，沒想到釣出沈伯洋親自回應，接軌國際的難處，就會有特定人故意一直用抹黑的方式討論便民的議題，「這個明明都是在國外很多年的東西了。」

黎巴嫩國會議長辦公室發表聲明表示，黎巴嫩國會今天廢除死刑，並將所有現有死刑改為無期徒刑。此舉使黎巴嫩成為中東第一個正式終止死刑的國家。黎巴嫩國會議長辦公室發表聲明表示，黎巴嫩國會今天廢除死刑，並將所有現有死刑改為無期徒刑。此舉使黎巴嫩成為中東第一個正式終止死刑的國家。

法新社報導，黎巴嫩自2004年以來未曾執行死刑，但仍持續判處死刑，最近一次判決發生在昨天。國際特赦組織（Amnesty International）統計，截至今年1月，黎巴嫩至少有85人仍在死囚名單上。死刑通常適用於謀殺、恐怖主義與間諜罪等重大罪行。

黎巴嫩國家通訊社（National News Agency）報導，今後最嚴重的罪行將改判無期徒刑外加苦役。

司法部長納薩爾（Adel Nassar）在國會上稱廢除死刑是「歷史性」決定，並表示死刑的陰影曾阻礙黎巴嫩從已廢死的國家引渡犯嫌。

無黨籍國會議員哈姆丹（Firas Hamdan）在社群平台X上發文慶祝，感謝「過去20年來為實現這一刻付出心力的每個人」。

聯合國也對此表示讚許，人權事務高級專員圖克（Volker Turk）呼籲中東「仍維持死刑」的鄰國「效法黎巴嫩，結束這種不人道的做法」。他說，在這個飽受戰火蹂躪的國家，此舉展現了對「生命權做出強而有力且基於原則的承諾」。

歐洲聯盟（EU）表示，黎巴嫩為「中東與更廣泛地區的其他國家樹立強而有力的典範」。

前殖民宗主國法國稱這項決定具「歷史性且勇敢」。法國外交部長巴霍（Noel Barrot）在社群平台X上寫道，這次表決展現了黎巴嫩「透過維護作為立國基石的民主價值與自由，持續成為楷模」。

中東各地經常執行死刑，國際特赦組織去年紀錄到伊朗執行2000多起死刑，沙烏地阿拉伯有超過350起。今年6月，約旦以絞刑處決6名因謀殺安全人員而遭定罪的男子，結束長達9年的死刑暫緩執行期。

鄰國以色列只執行過死刑兩次：一次是在1948年，針對的是一名遭控叛國罪的陸軍上尉，另一次是在1962年，當時納粹戰犯艾克曼（Adolf Eichmann）遭處以絞刑。但今年稍早，以色列國會通過新法律，允許對因致命攻擊遭定罪的巴勒斯坦人執行死刑。（中央社貝魯特11日電）
