法新社報導,儘管面臨死亡威脅,還被指控因敢於表演音樂使家族蒙羞,阿富汗第一個全女子管弦樂團的成員仍透過音樂,為自己擘劃全新命運。

如今這個樂團即將躍升全球舞台,在達弗斯(Davos)的世界經濟論壇(World Economic Forum, WEF)中表演。

由35名13至20歲年輕音樂家組成的樂團祖荷拉(Zohra),成員中包括部分孤兒與窮苦人家的孩子。她們19日將在3千名企業執行長與國家領袖面前表演,20日還將於閉幕音樂會中演出。

在高度保守、受戰火蹂躪的阿富汗,這群女孩克服了死亡威脅與歧視,共聚一堂表演音樂。樂團指揮帕爾瓦克(Negina Khpalwak)也將在此次赴歐的返航路途上,度過她20歲生日。

這群音樂家本月稍早在帕爾瓦克的指揮下一同演出,於喀布爾(Kabul)為眼前的音樂會做最後預演,她們將頭髮草草地綁起,雙眼則專注於樂器上。

創立阿富汗國家音樂研究所(Anim)與祖荷拉管弦樂團的音樂學家薩爾馬斯特博士(Dr Ahmad Sarmast)說,「她(帕爾瓦克)是阿富汗第一位女性指揮家。」

薩爾馬斯特知道阿富汗女性追求音樂路所面臨的風險。在1996至2001年塔利班組織(Taliban)高壓統治期間,女性不被允許學音樂。到了現在,這種行為仍令保守且性別高度隔離的阿富汗社會皺眉不悅。

薩爾馬斯特說,祖荷拉樂團對高雄創業貸款阿富汗而言「非常具有象徵意義」。

帕爾瓦克則表示,「這(學音樂)對阿富汗女孩來說是非常困難的。有些父親甚至不讓女兒上學,更不用說音樂學校。」「對他們來說,女人得待在家掃地。」

/ Staff writer, with CNAThe legislature yesterday passed the government’s general budget proposal for fiscal year 2017, after cutting it to NT$1.97 trillion (US$62.3 billion).During the two-week extraordinary session, opposition lawmakers put forward about 500 proposals for budget cuts, but the number was reduced to 63 during cross-caucus negotiations that were chaired by Legislative Speaker Su Jia-chyuan (蘇嘉全).Lawmakers settled on a budget of NT$1.97 trillion, cutting 1.2 percent from the government’s proposed NT$1.99 trillion.The proposed budget has a deficit of NT$132.9 billion and an estimated NT$74 billion for principal payments on government debt, all of which the government said would be covered through loans.At the end of the session, Su commended the party caucuses and legislative staff for their efforts to process major bills, such as amendments to the Long-term Care Services Act (長期照顧服務法) and the Electricity Act (電業法), as well as the budget bill.This was achieved though rational communication, efficiency and order among the caucuses, he said.Su’s performance over the session was praised by New Power Party (NPP) caucus convener Hsu Yung-ming (徐永明).“Swords were drawn over this legislative session and there were even some topics that were not appropriate to handle during a special session, but we support Su’s handling of matters,” Hsu said. “Dealing with the budget, the whole process was relatively smooth.”He expressed regret that his party’s calls for more rigorous pension bonus standards had not won approval, adding that the NPP would support the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) plans for military and economic development.Before the session ended, the legislature, with the DPP’s majority, rejected three budget cut proposals put forward by the KMT caucus, including a proposal to slash the Mainland Affairs Council’s (MAC) budget, which the KMT said was “not thoughtfully planned” and would not improve stagnant relations between Taiwan and China amid a cooling of cross-strait interactions.The KMT said that MAC Minister Katharine Chang (張小月) should be held responsible for the cooling of cross-strait ties since May 20 last year, when President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) took office.The MAC “has obviously misjudged the situation,” the KMT caucus said, adding that the council should outline response strategies within a month and deliver a report about its misjudgement to the legislature’s Internal Administration Committee within two months.However, the budget cut proposals and the request for the MAC to submit a report were voted down by DPP legislators.The DPP controls 68 of the 113 seats in the Legislative Yuan, while the KMT has 35. The NPP has five and the People First Party has three, while the Non-Partisan Solidarity Alliance and an independent have one seat each.KMT proposals to slash the budget for the Ill-gotten Party Assets Settlement Committee and disband the committee were also rejected.The committee was established by the Cabinet in August last year based on the Statute on Handling the Inappropriate Assets of Political Parties and Their Affiliated Organizations (政黨及其附隨組織不當取得財產處理條例). The statute was enacted by the legislature in July last year.According to the regulations, some of the KMT’s property has been frozen pending investigations into party assets.The KMT caucus also proposed cutting the Ministry of Education’s budget, which weighed in during a controversy over a phrase used by Lai He (賴和), the father of Taiwan’s nativist literary movement, that has been cited by the Presidential Office in the spring couplets it plans to give away.The KMT said the ministry’s response amounted to education serving political goals.The next legislative session is to open after the Lunar New Year holiday ends on Feb. 1.Additional reporting by Abraham Gerber新聞來源:TAIPEI TIMES

▲消基會調查9款手機「玻璃保護貼」,發現商品標示全數不合格。(圖/消基會提供)

記者曾婉婷/綜合報導銀行個人信貸

市面上手機螢幕保護貼的價格高低不一,對此消基會以iPhone7為例,特地至網路採購9款手機「玻璃保護貼」,結果發現商品價差達11倍,且標示全數不合格。

消基會表示,目前「手機螢幕保護貼」僅屬「一般商品」,包含硬度、材質等品質項目並無相關標準,不需經過相關檢驗即可上市。因此,消費者對於商品所宣稱的「防爆防裂」、「硬度達9H」、「高透光」、「不沾水滴油漬」等功能,若無實際使用,光憑商品外觀實在難以辨別。

有鑒於此,消基會抽查的9款商品中,價格從單片150元至1690元不等,不僅價差達11倍,更發現全部都未提供完整的商品資訊,不合格率達100%;其中5款甚至只有標註商品名稱與功能,功效宣稱大多未經檢測證實,消費者既無法得知保護貼到底是塑膠還是玻璃製成,更無法確知功效是否與宣稱相符。

消基會認為,手機螢幕保護貼價格不僅混亂,外包裝資訊也簡陋不全,長久下來恐淪為業者自行叫價,消費權益難維護,除了呼籲政府相關單位應立即調查,並對違規的業者予以限期改正或開罰外,也要消費者勿過度相信商品宣稱的功能,最好挑選標示完整的商品,避免消費爭議。
