周芬伶

五年前從雪山拉達克回來，就決心想自己少些，想別人多些，出清收藏，過清簡生活，少量社交，大量付出。獎金應作最大利用，會捐給芬號五百鼓勵新人（可以再出手工書了），以及東海中文系詩劇場。雖然肯定來得不容易，但我之所有都來自我站在的土地，也應回報它。又，對於出版者與作者，書能賣能得讀者喜愛更實在，我每收到再刷的版稅，可以開心很久，這筆錢多半留給自己，買件小茶具或茶葉什麼的。所以不要拿筆記本讓作家簽名哦！

花蓮814萬做震災禮包 寄送捐款人 藤井樹怒斥「傅崐萁下地獄」

一名網友昨在臉書「爆怨公社」po照說自己在花蓮大地震有捐款，日前收到花蓮縣政府寄來的禮包，內有一份《更生日報》、一片「『震』撼亞洲的震災搶救」DVD，及一張署名花蓮縣長傅崐萁的感謝函，看了十分傻眼。 

網友：收到超火大

這名網友說，感謝函簡單謝謝捐款人就好了，沒想到花蓮的感謝函都在比較他們的捐款跟高雄氣爆、台南地震後的使用差異，質疑縣府錢多到沒地方花，還是選舉到了要秀政績，不滿說：「後山胖虎的作法真是討人厭！」 
電影《六弄咖啡館》導演、作家藤井樹也在臉書說，禮包裡的報紙是使用善款的行為辯護，感謝函本質是鼓吹自己好棒棒，DVD讓人一言難盡，他只想對傅崐萁說，「你一定會下地獄！」 
網友陸續po出自己收到的感謝函，直呼「收到時超火大」、「白眼翻到後腦勺」、「要不要順便出個人專輯」，還有網友說一家都捐款，結果收到2、3份禮包，痛罵「善款是救人救急，不是給你們這樣用的！」 

「絕沒動用到善款」

花蓮縣政府社會處長陳玟祺昨澄清，這些錢都是縣府編列預算執行，「絕沒有動用到善款一毛錢」，寄出的對象包括有留地址的捐款者、退款者，共寄出21萬3000份，其中報紙花費174萬元、DVD光碟187萬6600元、郵資400萬、封裝費53萬元，總計約814萬元，縣府另編列「花蓮地震紀實節目拍攝與國際宣傳服務案」約1300萬元，該筆預算尚未執行。
至於大地震善款，花蓮縣府指出，大地震捐款共26億2500萬9835元，退款4739萬6567元，善款剩下25億7761萬3268元，縣府已編列16項補助計劃，已執行7億8099萬1524元，尚餘17.9億元，善款半年更新一次，最近更新日期是5月底，在縣府網站都可查詢到。

78歲男志工 尾畠春夫

　　

3 活動費は年金から 風呂も断った尾畠さんが貫く信念 朝日新聞デジタル

https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=20180816-00000034-asahi-soci
19 時間前 - 山口県周防（すおう）大島町で3日間行方不明だった藤本理稀（よしき）ちゃん（2）＝同県防府市＝を発見した尾畠（おばた）春夫さん（78）は、大分県日出（ひじ）町から軽ワゴン車で駆けつけ、1人で捜索に加わっていた。全国各地の被災地で ...
「我是志工，所以不能接受這些。」將理稀交給家人的15日這天，他這樣拒絕理稀祖父邀請他到家中洗澡。輕型廂型車內載著糧食、水以及睡袋等生活用品，不給救助對象添麻煩則是他的原則。


「我是志工，所以不能接受這些。」將理稀交給家人的15日這天，他這樣拒絕理稀祖父邀請他到家中洗澡。輕型廂型車內載著糧食、水以及睡袋等生活用品，不給救助對象添麻煩則是他的原則。
現年78歲的志工·尾畠春夫，日前尋獲在山口縣周防大島町失蹤3天的2歲男童·藤本理稀，他當時從大分縣日出町開著輕型廂型車趕往現場，獨自1人加入搜索。他是位持續在全國各地災區參與活動的資深志工。

　　「我是志工，所以不能接受這些。」

　　將理稀交給家人的15日這天，他這樣拒絕理稀祖父邀請他到家中洗澡。輕型廂型車內載著糧食、水以及睡袋等生活用品，不給救助對象添麻煩則是他的原則。他表示:「自行解決一切才是真正的志工。」而參與志工活動的費用，則是從自己的年金湊出。

　　他原來經營鮮魚店。搜索時，讓理稀注意到的「理~君」這句大聲呼喊，便是在店頭鍛鍊出來的。正式開始參與志工活動，是當他65歲時將大分縣別府市的店舖結束營業後。因為他認為「沒有學歷、一無所有的自己卻能走到今天。希望向社會報恩」。

　　他40歲開始登山，55歲左右起在大分縣由布市·由布岳持續擔任整頓登山道的志工。66歲時，「想要把自己出生的國家全部看一遍」，因此從鹿兒島縣的佐多岬徒步縱貫北海道的宗谷岬。

　　2004年新潟縣中越地震，是他首次擔任災區志工。2011年東日本大地震，他在宮城縣南三陸町參與活動，共計約500天。並受到町方的委託，擔任「回憶搜索隊」隊長，撿拾並蒐集對災民們而言重要的物品。他在輕型廂型車內過夜，是年輕志工們欽慕的「師傅」。

　　在2016年熊本地震的災區，他因為擁有長年的志工經驗，向志工中心提出建議等大顯身手。今年7月他也前往因西日本豪雨受災的廣島縣吳市，流著汗水剷除民宅淤泥。

　　在參與志工活動時，他會配戴紅色頭巾並穿上紅色上衣，因為「這是能讓消沉的人們打起精神的顏色」。今後若又發生類似的失蹤事件，不論在哪他打算趁著自己還有精力時飛奔而去。他期盼地表示:「希望對於任何事都不會隔岸觀火，而是實際動起來的人能增加。」

Carnegie Corporation of New York released its annual list of Great Immigrants on June 28 comprised of 38 naturalized citizens who enrich the fabric of American culture and strengthen our democracy through their lives, their work, and their example. Our philanthropic foundation, its board of trustees and staff, invite Americans to help celebrate these distinguished individuals by participating in its online tribute titled “Great Immigrants, Great Americans.”

Every Fourth of July since 2006, the Corporation has sponsored the public awareness initiative to commemorate the legacy of our founder, Scottish immigrant Andrew Carnegie, who believed strongly in both immigration and citizenship. Today the Great Immigrants tribute is an archive of accomplishment featuring more than 500 exemplary naturalized U.S. citizens. For 2018, the honorees represent nearly 30 different countries of origin, a range of personal immigration experiences, and high-level leadership in numerous fields, all of them united through their experience of becoming Americans. Among the honorees:
  • Art Acevedo Chief of Police, Houston
  • Ana Mari Cauce President, University of Washington

  • Dara Khosrowshahi CEO of Uber
  • Daniel Libeskind architect
  • Elliott Erwitt photographer
  • Kumail Nanjiani actor
  • Regina Spektor singer and songwriter
“Andrew Carnegie understood that immigrants come here to be a part of America, not apart from America” said Vartan Gregorian, president of Carnegie Corporation of New York.  “In their faith, their love of family, and their patriotism for their adopted land, these Great Immigrants have done so much — and will do so much more in the future. For this, and for all their contributions, we respect, admire, and celebrate them.”
The honorees will be recognized with a full-page public service announcement in the New York Times on the Fourth of July. For the months of June and July, the Corporation has produced public awareness materials for sharing online via Facebook and Twitter @CarnegieCorp #GreatImmigrants.
In addition, the Corporation commissioned a series of compelling photo profiles by acclaimed photojournalist Jennifer S. Altman featuring Great Immigrants past and present: police chief Acevedo, philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah, media entrepreneur and author Arianna Huffington, conservationist and public servant Sally Jewell, actor John Leguizamo, and author Gary Shteyngart.
Nearly nine million lawful permanent residents (LPRs) are currently eligible to naturalize and become U.S. citizens. In keeping with the mission of our founder, Carnegie Corporation of New York is committed to the integration of LPRs with the goal of helping them become citizens who can participate fully in our democracy.

the 2018 class of Andrew Carnegie Fellows


Carnegie Corporation of New York Names 31 Winners of Andrew Carnegie Fellowships

BY CELESTE FORD — 
$6.2 million in philanthropic support for significant research in the humanities and social sciences

Carnegie Corporation of New York Names 31 Winners of Andrew Carnegie Fellowships
Building on a century-old, philanthropic tradition of investing in creative scholarly research, Carnegie Corporation of New York today announced the 2018 class of Andrew Carnegie Fellows. As part of the so-called “brainy award,” 31 extraordinary scholars and writers will each receive up to $200,000, making it possible for them to devote their time to significant research, writing, and publishing in the humanities and social sciences.

A distinguished panel of jurors selected the fellows based on the quality of their proposals. As part of the criteria, they looked for high-caliber scholarship that applies fresh perspectives to some of the most pressing issues of our times, shows potential for meaningful impact on a field of study, and has the capacity for dissemination to a broad audience.

Topics of the winning proposals focus on a broad variety of complex political, economic, technological, humanistic, and sociological matters. Among them: ethics pertaining to fertility treatments; moral dilemmas for workers such as prison guards and military drone operators; the disproportionate number of black women in U.S. prisons; policing in impoverished, midsized cities; inequality in healthcare from state to state; college choices among students in rural America; protecting online privacy; countering misinformation in news coverage; public attitudes toward climate change; the environmental and cultural impact of garbage in Appalachia; assumptions about nuclear deterrence and strategic stability; immigration and xenophobia; disaster recovery in Puerto Rico; and controlling infectious diseases.
“We were reassured by the immense talent and breadth of experience reflected in the proposals from this year’s nominees for the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program,” said Vartan Gregorian, president of Carnegie Corporation of New York and president emeritus of Brown University. “Since its founding in 1911, the Corporation has provided strong support to individual scholars, as well as a wide variety of institutions, causes, and organizations. The response to the fellows program gives me great hope for the future of the study of the humanities and the social sciences as a way for this country to learn from the past, understand the present, and devise paths to progress and peace.”
Gregorian noted that the fellows program includes a balance of emerging and established scholars from public and private colleges and universities across the country. For the class of 2018, 14 of the fellows are from public institutions and two-thirds are women. The selection committee of 17 jurors comprises scholars and intellectual leaders from some of the world’s leading educational institutions, foundations and scholarly societies—seven are either current or former university presidents.
“The jurors were greatly impressed by the wide range of institutions represented, the remarkable quality and depth of the proposals, and the overall display of intellectual diversity and creativity shown by the nominees,” said Susan Hockfield, chair of the Andrew Carnegie Fellows Program jury, and president emerita of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “Narrowing the field to 31 fellows was both challenging and rewarding for the jurors. We are pleased to know that this investment provides a tremendous opportunity for the fellows to contribute important research and writing to their fields of study, which is a benefit to us all.”
Each year as part of the nominating process, the heads of more than 600 institutions, representing universities, think tanks, publishers, and nonprofit organizations nationwide, are invited to nominate up to two people for the fellowships. For 2018, the Corporation received a total of 270 nominations. Each underwent a preliminary evaluation by anonymous, nationally prominent experts in various fields. Then the top proposals were forwarded to the members of the jury for their scrutiny and ultimate decision.
The Andrew Carnegie Fellows program was established with the inaugural class in 2015. The anticipated result of each fellowship is a book or major study.
