美國安局一整天看A片

美國國安單位事務繁多,其中一項就是要蒐集武裝組織及恐怖份子的情報,他們除了要分析「伊斯蘭國」聖戰士對人質砍頭的影片外,還特別設立一組「A片組」,來解讀聖戰士隱藏在內的秘密訊息。

據《澳洲新聞網》報導,編制在這組「免費A片組」的人員,必須在上班時間不斷觀看聖戰士的A片,或許有的人會很羨慕「工作一整天都在看免費A片」,但有國安單位的人員說:「其實都無感了。」報導指出,聖戰士會將作戰訊息隱藏在A片內,因此國安人員必須試圖分析其內容或密碼。而有的聖戰士A片雖然沒有藏訊息,但國安人員希望透過影像分析,來了解聖戰士的心態,和可能的作案方向。

而有相關人員透露,由於一整天看A片,有的A片內容太過噁心,例如以兒童為主題的片子,有些人的心靈會承受不住,因此當局安排專門的心理學家或醫師,為國安人員進行心理輔導或治療。

頂新案開庭 律師堅稱大幸福油沒問題

彰化地方法院今天針對彰化地檢署起訴,及調查其他下游經銷商部分確認併案範圍與內容,召開準備庭,頂新製油前董事長魏應充一早8點50就報到,庭訊在半小時就結束,魏應充由員工陪同快步離開,面無表情。

除了魏應充,其餘出庭被告包括頂新製油公司代理董事長陳茂嘉、前總經理常梅峰、大幸福公司負責人楊振益及屏東廠廠長曾啟明、品保組組長蔡俊勇。

魏應充律師事務所余明賢說,針對檢方所提犯罪事實部分,被告均不認罪,因為越南人民習慣、可吃的油脂處理方式是沒問題的。

余明賢說,今天的準備庭是在確認檢方在原本起訴內容中,所調查頂新的下游欲求償的廠商外,又查出其他下游經銷商要併案審理的內容,與被告對併案有無意見及日後的證據調查。

他強調,因為都是基於同樣起訴內容,對案情不會有太大影響,重點仍在頂新購入的大幸福油品是否有問題。

視訊交友APP假冒正妹發訊 黃立成遭控詐欺

藝人黃立成經營觸角多元,日前投資開發視訊交友軟體「好麻吉」APP,因為打著交友快速及藝人光環加持,APP上架未滿一年,官方宣稱會員人數已達50萬。但近期卻遭到男性會員投訴、控告黃立成詐欺。

據「蘋果日報」報導,黃立成旗下公司開發的這款「好麻吉」交友App,使用規則是,女性入會傳訊免費,男性看成人視訊、傳訊都得付VIP費用,且有刷卡自動續約及不退費條款。

投訴的男性會員表示,其註冊後立刻收到數十條正妹傳來的訊息,沒幾天便累積達500多則。因好奇心作祟,便刷卡成為VIP,付費查看成人視訊與回傳訊息給眾多正妹。但卻發現正妹們都否認曾傳訊給他,男會員驚覺遭騙怒不可遏,決定控告黃立成詐欺。

而今日「蘋果日報」追加報導,另一位湯姓男會員也表示,一開始也收到百名正妹訊息,並刷卡入會,回訊給正妹也沒任何回音,自認倒楣取消VIP後,卻收到刷卡銀行通知,發現遭盜刷七十八筆,總計七萬多元,氣得怒告黃立成偽造文書。

而蘋果iTunes商店網頁版此款APP介紹底下,網友們也留言評論:「感覺就是一個要一直花錢的軟體」、「只是要入會員才能有完整功能,這就會讓人覺得卡卡的」,看的出來此交友APP的使用規則與付費機制,早有部份網友與用戶們表達不認同。

法官限制律師發言人數 獄政案準備程序庭惹爭議
台北地院31日就北監行賄案召開準備程序庭,傳訊前東森集團總裁王令麟、北監科員祖興華、主任管理員周秉榮、管理員張文發及行賄的黑道人士池泳霖、高寶勝、羅維德,庭訊過程中王令麟在陳述意見時一度被限制時間,3辯護律師也被要求僅能由一人發言,也引發法界質疑法官的訴訟指揮權是否過當。
台北地院31日下午2點30分召北監行賄案準備程序庭,傳訊東森集團總裁王令麟、北監科員祖興華、主任管理員周秉榮、管理員張文發,及行賄的黑道人士池泳霖、高寶勝、羅維德等7人,法官先做人別確認再詢問對於檢察官的指控是否認罪,周秉榮周、張文發、池泳霖、羅維德均認罪,祖興華則說我是冤枉的,王令麟也否認犯罪,並指檢察官起訴書內容不實,另高寶勝則因與辯護律師尚未討論,將待討論後再行答辯。

隨後,法官再問被告是否有意見陳述,認罪被告則都委由律師事務所請求法官從輕量刑,祖興華律師事務所則補充陳述被告與王令麟、胡曉菁沒有長期供養關係。而王令麟則是拿出寫滿三張A4紙的意見逐一陳述,但法官卻打斷他的陳述並限定再給30秒講完;王的辯護律師陳佳瑤只好補充王令麟的陳述意見,指年節饋贈是一般台灣的社交禮儀,並非是有對價的行賄交付。

法官再就證據力是否爭執進行詢問,這時王令麟的另一名委任律師葉建廷發言補充意見,卻被法官提醒最好是統一由1位辯護人發言補充意見;當檢方就王所陳述意見提出反駁意見補充後,王令麟另一位律師謝協昌隨後再提出補充意見時,法官明顯表示不耐煩,當庭要求王的律師團下次只能由一位辯護人發言補充意見。

謝協昌律師在庭訊後表示,刑事訴訟法規定每位被告可以委任3名律師進行辯護,每位辯護人都可以在法庭上行使其辯護職權才對,限制1人代表發言是法理不合也於法相抵觸,如果在程序正義都不能受保障,那又何來實質正義,所以,希望法官不要再做不友善的限制發言。

而法界人士指出,法官為使訴訟進行順利,在法庭上擁有訴訟指揮權,對於訴訟人數、委任律師眾多、證據力龐雜案件確實可要求由1名辯護人代表發言補充意見,或是在辯護人重複陳述意見要求停止發言,但若是在其他被告認罪無補充意見,而另有被告否認犯罪要陳述意見,且辯護人補充意見又非重複時,法官貿然打斷、限時且要求3辯護律師僅能1人發言,「的確有可議之處」。

制服妹知名景點車廂拍A片 惹毛家長

英國近期有支長達快半小時的A片,內容將時空場景定位在1940年代的舊時車站車廂,敘述一名制服美眉在旅途中與相視而坐的男乘客看對眼,進而發展出性愛情節。未料,因影片拍攝地點選在擁有150年歷史的英國埃平翁加(Epping Onga)鐵路,該處是當地知名觀光景點,很多家長都會帶著小朋友到此一遊,因此惹來負評,當地民眾認為英國的歷史古蹟被玷辱了。

該影片一推出,由於埃平翁加鐵路相當知名,許多人一看就認出是在此拍攝,英國民眾抗議拍免費A片不該選在具歷史代表性的觀光景點,如此一來,古蹟聖地恐被污名化。

該起事件在英國引發軒然大波後,埃平翁加車站管理公司也坦承,確實將該場地租給免費A片公司拍攝,並為此錯誤判斷道歉。

PRs should not sacrifice sound strategy in pursuit of SEO

Marketing trends come and go, but those that survive tend to have two key elements: adaptability and profitability. Search engine optimisation has always had to adapt because it deals with consequences of algorithm changes by the search gods such as Google. Its profitability has always been more of grey area, and in that sense it has a lot in common with public relations, which has often come to an idea first but failed to make the money out of these ideas which advertising seems to have done so naturally.

 

But with the latest changes for both, we have witnessed a growing convergence, often under the banner of “search content marketing”, the creation of content for audiences (traditionally a PR stronghold) which is not only optimised for search (SEO’s historical strength) but actually created for search (the battleground).

 

This means that to many current experts, PR and SEO are actually one industry. There are even a few who claim to practice SEO PR, which is an unhelpful new piece of jargon.

 

But within this new world there is both opportunity to profit, in a results and financial sense, and to lose sight of what should be the ultimate PR master – strategy. I shall seek to explain this.

 

First, many PRs are now focusing on landing coverage online, which contains a link back to the site of the business they represent. If Google ranks the site providing the link as a trusted and authoritative source, this increases the authority of the represented site and, over time, increases its own search ranking, ie, it appears higher up the results. Google changes its algorithms to constantly alter what impacts its ratings. Over time, editorial value and quality of source has outstripped dated practices such as stuffing website copy with keywords, and this is what has led to third party editorial content being valued and chased by SEOs, leading them to not only hire PR people but to practice it themselves.

 

To look at this battleground in its simplest sense – what PRs and SEOs refer to as authoritative link building – then it is useful, especially if you are in-house or representing companies that primarily trade online, as the ability to show traffic, links and even purchases from PR activity is far more useful for demonstrating results than advertising equivalent ever was. (Oh, and while we’re at that, whoever tried to run with “earned media equivalent”, nice try, but please stop.)

 

There are real benefits in this modern digital public relations, illustrated by communications teams that are proficient in analytics and in using social channels to help messages reach and engage a wide as audience as possible.

 

Despite the positive changes digital has had on public relations there is, however, another aspect that worries me. I recently read, but won’t link to avoid irony, an opinion piece on a popular SEO site in which several PRs were giving advice on creating quick short-term online links that would have, to paraphrase the argument, no impact on brand reputation but would sit in digital limbo as search content marketing. Rather than a result of the communication strategy, the point they were making was that this race to arms for search content was the communication strategy.

 

It’s a worrying example of how the cart is being put before the horse. SEO is taking priority over PR campaigns, but it is the communications people advising it. This blurring of disciplines comes at a price. In same way “buzzfeedification” of media creates link-bait, the wrong type of SEO-focused PR campaigns can create low-impact, high-volume generic content that threatens to become the norm rather than the exception. You can spot them a mile away, ‘guest blogs’ on obscure international business sites, bland infographics - search driven content designed for the link and which could be interchangeable with a thousand organisations, all lacking the spark of originality and creativity that gets the heart racing – and lacking strategy.

 

The strategy should serve to meet the objective of any good PR campaign, that is to alter perceptions or behaviours of target audiences to improve or protect an organisation’s reputation. It doesn’t matter if the message the channel is communicated is the written press, an event, or a blog, as long as it serves this strategy.

 

Any pound spent on PR that fails to do that is a waste and could be spent better elsewhere. It works both ways, as modern PR campaigns should contain all the necessary facets to work digitally, with communications and digital teams working to one strategy. This is ultimately what content should refer to, and able PR people have long since moved beyond delivering just a press release.

 

By sacrificing the management of reputation to focus primarily on search and link building, the PRs who play this game are in danger of being the turkeys that voted for Christmas, as these jobs can be fulfilled by SEOs, no doubt at a cheaper price.

 

I’m a massive digital advocate, I think it is changing communications for the better and providing the opportunity for public relations to find a transparency that held it back in years gone by.

 

Yet I urge PR people to be careful about trying to take on the “SEO first” mantle. By putting Google on a pedestal at the expense of sound, long-term strategies, the industry is agreeing to play by its rules, rules inevitably linked to Google’s own advertising and revenue models.

Educators mobilise to bring tech to kids

Primary school children in remote and disadvantaged communities are getting a taste of robotics, 3-D printing and virtual reality from trainers touring the country in a high-tech bus.  

The Noel Leeming Mobile Learning Centre hopes to inspire 100,000 Kiwis and reach 275 decile 1 to 3 primary schools during its two-year journey which started in February in Northland.

Canadian-born educator Maxton Gilchrist-Priebe said activities had included programming robots using tablet computers and creating a small-scale model of his partner and fellow trainer Eve Reed, using a 3-D scanner and Screen printer.

Kids also got a chance to experience virtual reality headsets and learn some theory.

"We have a couple of key takeouts we want kids to leave with. 'Number one' our aim is to inspire and delight so we want kids to have had fun and to have learned something.

"We want them to understand technology is a tool to use to achieve things and solve problems." That was opposed to it being a passive entertainment experience. "We are trying to break down the myth that by using a Screen printer your kids become a zombie."

The reaction kids had was the same, he said; "it is always 'amazing', 'the best thing ever', 'I want your job', 'the future if going to be Pad printer'."

First stop after the school holidays will be Kohukohu, then Auckland.

The Mobile Learning Centre's sponsors include Acer, Microsoft, Fairfax Media, FCB, Flybuys, Hewlett-Packard, Television New Zealand, The Radio Bureau and 2degrees.

The opportunities for kids, parents and teachers in Wellington to get hands-on with new technology have also expanded.

The Mind Lab, an Auckland company backed by technology institute Unitec, opened a branch in Petone on Thursday, offering school and holiday programmes for children, through to postgraduate courses for teachers.  

Centre director Matt Richards said activities would include coding, 3-D Pad printer and printing, robotics, electronics, game development and animation.

The Mind Lab founder Frances Valintine last year won a week at Sir Richard Branson's Centre for Entrepreneurship in South Africa after winning an Australian-run technology award, Talent Unleashed.  

"Teachers are grappling with how to teach a generation of kids that have access to devices that enable them to share, communicate and connect in a very different way to when they trained as teachers," she said.

Separately, a series of free coding workshops will be held at libraries across the Wellington region during the Easter holidays. The workshops aimed at children aged 12-18, will teach the basics of HTML and CSS, which are computer languages used to build websites.

Public Libraries of New Zealand spokesman Pat Pilcher said kids could self-teach themselves programming to a degree using free online tools but the workshops provided a child-friendly support network with other kids and programmers on hand to help. "It gives them a seed from which something could grow," he said.

謝依涵開庭 被害人律師要求武器對等

高等法院更一審上午開庭審理謝依涵殺人案,檢辯對於應否勘驗現場僵持不下,被害人陳進福的律師魏憶龍表示,如合議庭決定勘驗陳進福、張翠萍夫婦住所,律師事務所希望基於武器對等原則,也到陳進福夫婦遇害的淡水紅樹林現場勘驗,受命法官李麗珠表示,會交由合議庭評議後決定。

上午開庭時,謝依涵話不多,法官詢問案情意見時,謝都交給律師事務所回答,庭訊後、步上囚車前,被問到近況及對開庭看法,謝低頭不語。

謝女原為新北市八里媽媽嘴咖啡店店長,102年2月16日,下藥迷昏常客陳進福夫婦,把2人帶往淡水河畔紅樹林裡殺害,盜領陳存款35萬元,再變裝想盜領張女存款與開啟北投農會保管箱未得逞。

檢警偵訊時,謝栽贓媽媽嘴老闆呂炳宏等人共同殺人奪財,她後來雖承認殺人,但辯稱是陳進福想殺妻,她為擺脫和陳不倫戀,才殺害陳,還指稱她向張翠萍求助被冷漠以對,才憤以「計中計」殺害2人換取自由;一、二審皆判謝死刑。
