US Congress’ Go-Ahead To Stopgap Funding Bill Averts Government Shutdown

The shutdown crisis was largely triggered by a small group of hardline Republicans who had defied their own party leadership to scupper various temporary funding proposals as they pressed for deep spending cuts. Washington, United States: The US Congress passed an 11th-hour funding bill Saturday to keep federal agencies running for another 45 days and avert a costly government shutdown — although the deal left out aid to war-torn Ukraine requested by President Joe Biden. Three hours before the midnight Saturday deadline, the Senate voted to keep the lights on through mid-November with a resolution that had advanced earlier from the House of Representatives in a day of high-stakes brinkmanship on Capitol Hill.

The Big Idea: Investing in “sponge cities” can mitigate the toll of climate change

Serious flooding is in our future—here’s one way we can take it on.
My fascination with water began as a child, when I saw rain for the first time. I spent the first 10 years of my life in the United Arab Emirates—one of the driest countries on Earth. My sister and I had eagerly anticipated the first rainfall of our lives, excited to put our new rain jackets to the test. When the first drops spattered on the windows of our house, I felt the excitement and joy bubble up inside me as we ran outside. The cool, calming sprinkle was unlike anything I had ever experienced.

印度製iPhone品質差?中國部落客:鏡頭入塵都Made in China

蘋果iPhone 15上市以來,中國消費者對印度組裝的產品抱持不友善態度,嘲諷印度生產的蘋果手機有咖哩味,近日一些中國部落客(博主)拆解iPhone 15,發現鏡頭有灰塵,起先見獵心喜,認為是印度製造出包,結果發現出問題的都是中國組裝。中國資深互聯網專家王新喜指出,這顯示中國iPhone的生產能力「可能並不像我們所想像的那麼具競爭力」。王新喜在「大批國產版iPhone 15鏡頭進灰:我們高估了自己,輕視了印度」的文章指出,有中國科技博主連拆了3支iPhone 15系列手機,發現每支的鏡頭內都有灰塵,也有人從黃牛手中加價購買Pro max,結果鏡頭內也有灰塵,「懷疑是暑假工給他裝的」。

Chenglap 文章筆記 : 因為權力平衡而生的臺灣

人類自古以來都有戰爭,因為有戰爭,所以才追求和平,這是不分東西方的。中國自古以來追求和平的方法,就是統一天下,相信天下只有一個權力來源與政治秩序的話,那就不會戰爭,秦始皇是第一個做到的人。織田信長的天下布武,也是同一個理論,那就是一個壓倒性的軍事強權壓倒一切地方強權,那就能夠達致萬世的太平。

孔子最令當今老師羨慕的是什麼嗎?

教師節前一天,我來一篇本行祖師爺孔丘先生的小故事。

仲尼大A足跨政壇與杏壇,一生的故事可以寫成好幾本小說(包括一部拍得有夠爛的電影),限於臉書適合短文的風俗習慣,我寫重點就好,以後有空的話,我再cosplay寫《民享主義育樂兩篇補述》(還是民生主義?窩不知道,隨便啦)的老蔣,多寫一點孔子的故事。

故事開始。
