情緒控制
【大陸中心╱綜合外電報導】中共總書記習近平上台雖致力端正吏治,但官員惡行依舊層出不窮,雲南省曲靖市一名政協委員日前在昆明搭機,遲到錯過班機,他竟當眾狂砸機場櫃檯、怒罵地勤人員,惡形惡狀被監視器全部錄下,事發後遭停職處分。
這起事件除新華網等中國媒體廣泛報導,前天還登上英國《每日郵報》。這名囂張的政協委員是廣東豐樂集團雲南礦業有限公司副董事長嚴林昆,本月19日上午,他與妻子、兩個兒子一家四口前往昆明長水機場,準備搭機飛往廣州。
搭機前他們去吃早點,誤了班機,於是到機場櫃檯改登記下一班飛機,但到了搭機時間,他們又沒有聽到廣播通知登機,於是再次誤機。嚴林昆一家到了登機口,赫然發現登機門已經關閉,怒不可遏,指著地勤不斷高聲責罵。
之後,他突然出手拿起電腦鍵盤,往地上狠摔,又一把掃落桌面上其他物品,狠踹櫃檯好幾腳。最令人瞠目結舌的是,他還拿起一個約180公分高的機場指示立牌,朝登機口緊閉的玻璃門猛砸。整個過程被機場監視器全部拍下,他的兩個小孩與妻子則站在一旁觀看。
這段影片在網路曝光後,輿論譁然,紛紛痛罵他的惡行。迫於輿論壓力,24日他終於公開出面道歉。嚴林昆說,當時他要送兩個兒子到深圳上學,因為沒趕上第一班飛機,改成下午的班機又再次來不及,「送子心切」才會控制不住自己的情緒。
Top 5 Ways to Control Anger (By Trevor Johnson)
You've heard about anger management but is it really possible to control your anger?
By putting these easy to follow tips into practice, you should be able to gradually reduce your bouts of anger and become a person who people want to associate with again, rather than someone who blows their top at the slightest provocation and everyone avoids as much as possible.
1. Talk to someone
If you've got a close friend - maybe a person who has known you for years- or even someone in your family, talk things out with them. How you play this depends on you but often the simple act of talking about your feelings helps diffuse them. Oftentimes it doesn't matter if the person you're talking to says little if anything.
2. Write about it
If talking to someone is too much for you or if your anger fits have got so bad that no-one will talk to you any more, then write it down. Write or type away without editing what you write. Just write constantly for between 5 and 15 minutes. This kind of "brain dump" lets your subconscious out into the open and you may be surprised at some of the things you write. There's no need to show anyone else what you've written so feel free to vent your anger on the paper or keyboard (but don't throw it out of the window!).
3. Get some exercise
Anything from a brisk walk to a workout in the gym. Exercise releases "feel good" substances in our body called endorphins, so chances are that this will help you feel better. If you haven't got a gym membership and the weather doesn't lend itself to going outside, you can improvise a punch bag by using a pillow. Ideally not a feather pillow just in case you break through the casing - clearing up all those feathers won't help your anger.
4. Learn to breathe
This may sound dumb - after all, you must be breathing in order to read this - but most of us don't breathe consciously. Your mother probably told you to take a deep breath to calm down and she was right. Take a long, slow deep breath in. Linger over this and hold your breath for a second or two. Then exhale slowly and completely. Do this five or six times and you'll be amazed at how calm and relaxed you start to feel versus how you were before. Since we all breathe all the time, this is an easy exercise to perform almost anywhere.
5. Take up relaxation
This can take many different forms. Maybe there's a local yoga class you can attend. Or get hold of a relaxation or meditation MP3 file and play this to yourself on a regular basis. Find yourself some space to chill. Whether it's part of your bedroom or a chair in the garden or park, it doesn't matter. Just make it some personal "chill" space. Obviously if this is in a public area, don't freak or get upset if you have to share it with other people occasionally. Set aside a regular time to de-stress and unwind.
Questions:
1. What are some ways to control your anger
2. Why anger management skills are important?
3. Is suppressing anger bad for our health ?
4. Do you get angry very easily?
5. Keep losing your temper? Blame it on the angry gene?

Taipei women's film festival aimed at raising gender awareness (By Christie Chen)
Taipei, March 6 (CNA) A women's film festival that will kick off March 8 in Taipei on International Women's Day is aimed at raising public awareness about gender equality, the organizers said Wednesday.
The 12 Taiwanese and foreign films scheduled to be screened will cover topics ranging from domestic violence, gender discrimination and the division of labor in modern families to gender roles in folk beliefs, according to the Taiwan Women's Film Association.
"We hope this festival will inspire everyone to explore their lives and make efforts to move gender equality forward," said Hsu Yueh-mei, deputy commissioner of the Taipei City Department of Social Welfare, which is co-organizing the festival with the association.
British-born Taiwanese actress Hu Ting-ting, who is the ambassador of the three-day festival, said film has had a big influence on her life and has motivated her to reflect on the restrictions and burdens in her own thoughts.
"Only after letting go of these things was I able to better understand myself and find my own values and position," Hu said, adding that she hopes the films can also inspire audiences and help tear down the barriers in their minds.
The festival, organized to celebrate International Women's Day, will be open to the public for free, the association said, adding that tickets will be available at the venue 30 minutes prior to the screening of each film.
The festival will run until March 10 at the Spot Huashan cinema at the Huashan 1914 Creative Park.
Questions:
1. Should men and women have equal rights?
2. Why women get paid less than men? Is equal pay for women fair?
3. Why do men think they are superior to women?
4. What do you think about domestic violence?
5. What do you think causes domestic violence.
12部女性電影 探討性別偏見 (自由時報)
三八影展記者會上播放了在台灣首映的開幕片《夢醒伸展台》及《家好月圓》預告片,《夢》片為愛爾蘭紀錄片,片中記錄西伯利亞女孩為脫離貧窮、圓時尚夢遠赴他鄉,面臨各種挑戰和險惡。
而《家》片導演周旭薇以託夢及乩童的傳統文化呈現家暴。周旭薇表示,家暴仍普遍存在家庭生活中,希望大家藉由影片在娛樂中反思嚴肅的性別議題。
影展片單中共有五部影片與家暴、性別暴力有關,台灣女性影像學會理事長簡偉斯指出,女性影展長期都有家暴影片,因為這是台灣社會普遍的問題。
三八婦女節影展由台北市社會局與女影共同舉辦,探討現代男女面臨家庭、工作、情感及人生各項選擇的掙扎與反思。影展共分為三大主題,「『好』一個習俗」—討論性別角色在傳統社會及民俗信仰遭受的禁錮;「非關家庭」—由家庭角色多方角度探究現代社會成員間的疏離與傷害;「夢想.覺醒」—展現女性在追求夢想過程中的自主與覺醒,而擁抱夢想的同時,女性又如何面對性別角色中的偏見和框架。

to run in the family 世代相傳----
If a characteristic runs in the family, it can clearly be seen members of different generations.
examples:
1. My brothers and I have grey hair. It runs in the family.
我跟我弟弟有白頭髮 這是世代相傳
2. Plumpness seems to run in the family.
肥胖似乎是這家庭中的特色。
透明手機將上市
全球首款 台製透明手機將上市(爽報)
台灣光電廠商寶創科技年底將推出全球首款透明平板電腦與透明智慧型手機。此手機特別之處是採用「可轉換玻璃」,一種利用液體水晶分子顯示圖像的彩色透明螢幕,連內部傳導線路也透明,玻璃下雖可見記憶卡與鋰電池等,但原型機已近全透明。
寶創科技總經理游榮賢昨說,寶創花約4年與1千萬台幣研發經費,才掌握這款全球首創的透明技術。他稱透明手機比iPhone 5還輕25%,螢幕解析度與iPhone 5相同,還可雙面觸控、觀看。
Polytron unveils world's first transparent mobile phone
(By Mark Langshaw)
Polytron has unveiled the world's first transparent smartphone.
The Taiwanese manufacturer showcased a prototype handset made almost entirely of glass, with only the circuit board, memory card and camera visible, Mobile Geeks reports.
The device features touchscreen technology and its SIM, SD card, battery, microphone and camera are all functional, but the model on show did not have an operating system on board.
Polytron is experimenting with a technology dubbed 'Polyvision Privacy Glass', an opaque substance that becomes see-through when an electric current passes through it.
The firm has also developed a technique for feeding microscopic wires into the glass, making them barely visible to the naked eye.
Polytron has revealed plans to release transparent hardware by the end of the year.
