Dewi Sukarno, 80, was able to wow fans with her youthful looks. Behind her ageless beauty, however, is a life full of ups and downs, just like the film she starred in. Dewi Sukarno 原名叫根本七保子(Naoko Nemoto),於1940年出生於日本。從小就天生麗質的她懷抱著演藝夢,高中時輟學去東京當俱樂部小姐,後來在19歲那年,在東京一間酒吧遇上當時 57 歲、到日本進行訪問的印尼前總統蘇加諾。 Dewi Sukarno, originally named Naoko Nemoto, was born in Japan in 1940. To achieve her dream of becoming a star, she quitted high school to work at a club where she learned singing and dancing. At the age of 19, she met the then 57-year-old Sukarno, the former president of Indonesia, in a Tokyo bar when he was on a visit to Japan. 儘管對方是有婦之夫,兩人還是一見鐘情,當年 Dewi 就隨著蘇加諾返回印尼,並成為他的情人。直到 1962 年兩人才正式結婚,Dewi 成為他的第三任妻子,也是印尼的總統夫人,經常出席重要社交場合,兩人還生了一個女兒Kartika。 The two fell in love at first sight. Despite Sukarno being married, Dewi returned to Indonesia with him that year as his lover. 可惜好景不常,1967 年印尼發生政變,蘇加諾被部下將領推翻,被囚於自家中,直到1970年去世。Dewi 則在叛變發後被迫帶著女兒 Kartika 流亡海外,在瑞士、巴黎和紐約等地居住。在蘇加諾死後,Dewi 靠著不減的魅力活躍於演藝圈,人人都稱她「Dewi夫人」。現在她經營自己的美妝和珠寶事業,偶爾會出現在日本電視節目中擔任選美評審,目前居住在東京。 Unfortunately, the sweet days didn’t last long. In 1967, a coup d’état broke out in Indonesia and Sukarno was overthrown by his subordinates. He remained under home arrest until his death in 1970. Dewi was forced to live in exile for a long time with her daughter Kartika in Switzerland, Paris and New York. After Sukarno’s death, Dewi became active in Japan’s show business with her unfailing charisma; she was known as “Mrs. Dewi”. Living in Tokyo, she now runs her own beauty and jewelry business, while occasionally appearing as a beauty pageant judge on Japanese television. Dewi 近日在Instagram上貼出流亡海外時與女兒的合照,她指出這些照片在 1967 年拍攝,當時她 27 歲、帶著6個月大的女兒從三藩市遷居到美國,再輾轉回巴黎拍下的。儘管當時過著顛沛流離的流亡生活,照片中的Dewi看起來依舊明艷動人、抱著女兒露出幸福甜笑,讓網友們看到後直呼「年輕的時候太美了」、「為母則強」。 Dewi recently posted photos of herself and her daughter from their exile on Instagram, with the captions explaining that the photos were taken in 1967 when she was 27 years old carrying her 6-month-old daughter Kartika moving between Japan, The States and Paris. Despite the chaotic and struggling life of exile, Dewi still looks gorgeous in the photos, holding her daughter and smiling happily, prompting social media users to comment, “she ...

L016: AI Getty Images vs AI: The Copyright Courtroom Battle Highlights 主題摘要Getty Images challenges Stability AI's unauthorized use of copyrighted photos for training artificial intelligence systems.The trial examines whether AI companies can freely use creative works without permission or payment to creators.The court decision could reshape how the generative AI industry handles intellectual property rights worldwide. Getty Images has initiated a groundbreaking copyright lawsuit against London-based Stability AI, marking the first major legal challenge to the generative artificial intelligence industry. The photography giant alleges that Stability's widely-used image generation tool, Stable Diffusion, was developed through unauthorized use of Getty's vast collection of copyrighted photographs. This landmark case, unfolding in London's High Court, represents a critical test of whether AI companies can continue training their systems on protected creative works without obtaining proper licensing agreements or compensating rights holders for their valuable intellectual property assets. 蓋帝圖像(Getty Images)對倫敦的 Stability AI 公司發起了開創性的版權訴訟,標誌著對生成式人工智慧產業的首次重大法律挑戰。這家圖像素材龍頭公司指控 Stability AI 公司廣泛使用的圖像生成工具「Stable Diffusion」,是透過未經授權使用 Getty 龐大的版權照片收藏而開發的。這個里程碑般的案件在倫敦高等法院展開,代表了對人工智慧公司是否能在不獲得適當授權協議或不補償權利持有者寶貴的智慧財產資產的情況下,繼續使用受保護的創意作品訓練其系統的關鍵考驗。 Getty's legal team argues that Stability AI demonstrated "brazen infringement" by training its AI model on millions of copyrighted images without permission, creating what they describe as a "staggering scale" violation. The company's CEO Craig Peters emphasizes that creators should be asked for consent before their works feed AI systems, rather than being forced into an "opt-out regime." Stability counters by claiming Getty's lawsuit poses an "overt threat" to the entire generative AI industry, arguing that only a tiny proportion of AI-generated outputs resemble Getty's original photographic works. Getty 的法律團隊辯稱, Stability AI 公司透過運用數百萬張版權圖像訓練其人工智慧模型而未經許可,展現了「厚顏無恥的侵權」,造成他們所描述的「驚人規模」違法行為。該公司執行長 Craig Peters 強調,在創作者的作品被輸入人工智慧系統之前應該徵求其同意,而不是被迫進入「選擇退出制度」。 Stability AI 反駁稱, Getty 的訴訟對整個生成式人工智慧產業構成「公然威脅」,辯稱只有極小比例的人工智慧生成輸出與 Getty 的原創攝影作品相似。 The three-week trial features extensive evidence, including seventy-eight thousand pages of documentation and expert testimony from leading universities. Getty's lawyers describe Stability's developers as "tech geeks" who were completely indifferent to copyright concerns, focusing solely on rushing their product to market. Particularly damaging allegations suggest that Stability's training data contained inappropriate content, including child sexual abuse material, though Stability vehemently denies these claims and emphasizes their commitment to preventing misuse. The case examines specific instances where AI-generated images retained Getty's distinctive watermarks, demonstrating direct copying behavior patterns. 為期三週的審判包含大量證據,...

Park said the service will soon be introduced in other regions of the province. Other cities outside Gyeonggi Province with drive-thru clinics are Daegu and Sejong. 京畿道政府聯絡官朴炫秀(譯音)說,在得來速門診進行的體檢,比在各醫院或衛生所做的典型檢查約快20分鐘。朴還說,這項服務很快就將被引進該道其他地區。京畿道以外設有得來速門診的其他城市為大邱與世宗。 Next Article Topic: Vintage fashion: senior models bridge S.

Now at 75, Choi Soon-hwa is an unlikely fashion star and model in South Korea. 70歲時,她每天在醫院工作20小時也僅能餬口。現在75歲,崔順花在南韓是打破眾人印象的時尚明星和模特兒。 "I think of having this job at this age as a miracle," Choi says. 「我覺得在這年紀能有這份工作,已經是奇蹟了」,崔順花說。 She is now the oldest professional model in the South, and has walked runway at Seoul Fashion Week. It is a far cry from her life even just a few years ago when she was a care worker. 她是目前南韓年紀最大的職業模特兒,在首爾時尚週走過秀。這與她僅僅數年前還是一名看護員的生活截然不同。 "The stress was excruciating," she confesses. 「那時候壓力大得令人喘不過氣」,她坦言。 When she worked at the hospital, she says she had to dye her hair as patients didn’t want someone who "looked too old" to look after them. Now her pale locks have become an asset to a new generation of designers who value distinctiveness. 她說,她在醫院工作的那段時間,因為病患不希望被「看起來太老」的人照顧,她不得不染髮。現在,她的一頭銀髮反而成為重視獨特性的新世代設計師眼中的資產。 Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1355590 ; https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1352896 Next Article Topic: More ’Korean bananas’ to be harvested this year amid climate change Jeju Island was long considered the only warm-enough region in Korea for commercial banana farming, but climate change is now turning the mainland into a producer of the tropical fruit. 濟州島長久以來被認為是韓國唯一一個夠溫暖的地區,適合香蕉商業化種植。但氣候變遷現在正使韓國本土,變成這種熱帶水果的產地。 According to the agricultural technology center in North Chungcheong Province, the number of people investing in banana farming has surged in recent years. 根據忠清北道農業技術中心,投資香蕉種植的人數近年來已急遽增加。 About 99.7 percent of all bananas consumed here are imported, mainly from the Philippines, and most of the rest is produced on Jeju.

John老師開宗明義地解釋了活動命名的深意:「英雄會不是那種華山論劍,然後就是互相廝殺like this的,不是這樣子的,而是我們每個人,不管在人生的旅途到我們成人的這個階段,我們發現說很多時候我們會鼓勵別人,可是我們不太會鼓勵自己。」 這個觀察點出了現代成年人學習路上的一個普遍問題:我們對小朋友說「Good job,你好棒」,但對自己的成就卻總是輕描淡寫,認為「應該的」。 John老師強調:「其實我們也漸漸的也忘掉說,We need to know how to celebrate our wins in life,不管你是升職也好,不管是你是加薪也好,還是說你在這個15 minutes英文學習的路上,你從完全聽不懂到有聽力了,到現在聽感而不抗拒等等的,不管你的旅程在哪裡,我們都想要celebrate這個部分。」 謙虛文化的反思 兩位老師深入討論了台灣人過度謙虛的文化現象。阿鍵老師觀察到:「這次兩位他們其實,我覺得他們留給我們的信息啊,都太謙虛了,真的就是跟我們剛剛John老師講的,大家對自己的這些進步成長,都有點太小瞧自己的這些進步了。」 John老師進一步分析:「可是我們爸媽小時候就教我們要謙虛啊,好像是這樣。」但他也指出過度謙虛的危險:「太謙虛就變成真的自己有點也不知道,可能是太壓抑,也有可能是有一點這叫做壓抑,對有一點在壓抑自己了。」 這種自我壓抑會導致「self doubt」而不是健康的「being humble, being honest」。John老師強調:「我們still need to celebrate our wins, our growth,我們這一些成長都是值得大家去被正視去被尊重的。」 「只比別人好一點點」的謙虛陷阱 在分享過程中,兩位老師發現了一個有趣現象:兩位分享者都說自己「只比別人好一點點」。John老師幽默地比喻:「其實就有點像Elon Musk的錢,只是多別人一點點而已,他也不過就比我多幾個零而已。」 這種過度謙虛反而讓人「變成不真實,We are inauthentic」,與上週討論的「破框思維」背道而馳,反而把自己限制住了。 歐若琪的學習成長故事:從害怕到自信 職場英語的真實挑戰 第一位分享者歐若琪(Orochi)的故事特別令人感動。他在工作中經常需要與Netflix、Google、Disney Plus等國際企業接觸,這給了他真實的英語應用場景。 他坦誠地分享:「其實知道自己的本身英文真的不是好到可以把每一場meeting都聽得非常懂,其實只是比別人多一點敢開口的勇氣而已。」 這個「多一點的勇氣」看似簡單,卻是英語學習路上最關鍵的突破點。他進一步描述了具體的挑戰:「每一次當下其實都沒有抓住對方的重點,也導致沒辦法立即當面反應和討論,所以他心裡一直很希望有一天可以完全聽懂別人在講什麼,...
