Cambridge Analytica LLC [1] [3] (CA) (n.) 劍橋分析公司(英語:Cambridge Analytica;簡稱CA),是一家進行資料探勘及數據分析的私人控股公司。 Is a privately held company that combines data mining, data brokerage, and data analysis with strategic communication for the electoral process. [7] It was created in 2013 as an offshoot of its British parent company SCL Group to participate in American politics. [8] In 2014, CA was involved in 44 US political races. [9] The company is partly owned by the family of Robert Mercer, an American hedge-fund manager who supports many politically conservative causes. [8] [10] The firm maintains offices in London, New York City, and Washington, D.C. [11]

In 2015, it became known as the data analysis company working initially for Ted Cruz's presidential campaign. [10] In 2016, after Cruz's campaign had faltered, CA worked for Donald Trump's presidential campaign, [12] and on the Leave.EU-campaign for the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union. CA's role in those campaigns has been controversial and is the subject of ongoing criminal investigations in both countries. [13] [14] [15] Political scientists dispute CA's claims about the effectiveness of its methods of targeting voters. [16]

On March 17, 2018, The New York Times and The Observer reported on Cambridge Analytica's use of personal information acquired from Facebook, without permission, by an external researcher who claimed to be collecting it for academic purposes. In response, Facebook banned Cambridge Analytica from advertising on its platform. [17] [18] The Guardian further reported that Facebook had known about this security breach for two years, but did nothing to protect its users. [19]

A series of undercover investigative videos released in March 2018, showed Cambridge Analytica's Chief Executive Officer boasting about using prostitutes, bribery sting and "honey traps" to discredit politicians whom it conducts opposition research on. Nix also claimed that the company "ran all of (Donald Trump's) digital campaign", including possible illegal activities. The Information Commissioner of the UK has asked for a warrant to search the company's servers. [20] [21]

Camino de Santiago (n.) 世界最美之一的徒步路線──Camino de Santiago 西班牙朝聖之路

在出發的前一個月,決定要去徒步歐洲,選擇走一條從法國穿越庇里牛斯山再橫越西班牙北方抵達世界盡頭的路。當初會知道 Camino,是因為看了一本書,裡面提到的一部電影《The Way》,中文翻成《朝聖之路》。看了三次,最後一次哭了,決定非去走這一條路不可了。

那到底是怎麼樣的一條路會這麼瘋狂的吸引我!?其中有一部份是因為我想學西班牙文,其餘就是下面的故事,雖然我不是天主教徒,但是他的精神和力量吸引了我。

這條路的終點為西班牙西北方城市──聖地牙哥,它的路線有千千百百條,每年都有許多朝聖者們從四面八方,往聖地牙哥的方向匯集而來,就像銀河系一樣,群星匯集的中心,所以聖地牙哥又被稱為「繁星原野聖地牙哥(Santiago de Compostela)」。相傳在西元九世紀,耶穌十二門徒之一就是照著星星指引的方向抵達了聖地牙哥,在此找到聖雅各 St. Jac 的遺骸,從此,就成了天主教徒們重要的朝聖道路之一。這條路就這樣從中世紀流傳直到現在,由一開始原本都是宗教關係的朝聖者在走的,到現在此條路匯集了來自世界各地帶著自己的故事和原因上路的旅人們,根本像極了一條聯合國登山路線,有趣極了!

Camino 也 同時被聯合國教科文組織列為世界遺產,是全世界僅有的三條為「道路」的世界遺產喔!因為平常聽的世界遺產都是建築物,但是,這卻是一條綿延好比百公里的遺 產呢!光這一點,就足夠說服我了,還有,聽說那些去旅行了數百國的人,都說走過那麼多地方,卻比不上區區這麼一條古道,說是世界最美麗與精彩的道路之一也 不為過!

就這樣,再出發的前一個月,決定好並且立馬買了機票,為什麼?因為不給自己退路了!

Camino 路線介紹

只要你跨出家門就可以開始走了,一路上遇到有人從瑞士走、從巴黎走、從荷蘭走、從德國,甚至從以色列走的都有,哪裡都可以是你的起點。

但現在我要介紹的是大部分人選擇走的較熱門路線,因為一路上會有 Camino 相關機構或組織提供的各種諮詢、住宿與協助,也可以遇見來自各國不同的旅人們,除非你尋求的是人煙稀少且寧靜的旅途,這些路途會讓你遇見許多形形色色的人,一路都可以跟許多人互相交流、分享與打氣。

總之,不管你選的是哪一條路,Open your mind 是最重要的,因為你會發現許多的驚喜。

好啦,我直接來介紹了,我列出了主要的七條,我走了其中兩條,其他的都是我走的這三個月裡從一路上認識的來自各地的旅人們真實經驗裡聽來的,僅供參考,實際體驗最實在。Youll see anyway.

現在就拿起筆來,開始計劃你的冒險吧!

1. Camino del Norte 北方之路 / 拿破崙之路

路線:San SebastianSantiago de Compostela

距離:> 800 km

出發前,在網路上蒐集到的所有台灣人對於這條路都說得像是最驚險恐怖又耗盡體力的一條最艱難的道路,但卻可以看見最美的風景。

後來,當我走到了 Santiago 後,開始遇到了許多剛走完了這條路的人,全都是跟我年紀相仿的女孩子,都在 20 歲 上下,全部都是獨自走完這條路!在聽過她們各自分享後,幾乎都說著相同的話!簡單說就是這條路對她們來說一點都不困難,雖然上坡是比較多一點,人的話是少 得可憐,而美麗的蔚藍海岸一路延伸在旁邊,隨時想跳海就走下去就好,又山又海,景色無與倫比的美麗,就是這條路最吸引人的特色,孤獨與寧靜的絕美。

2.  Camino Francés 法國之路

路線:St-Jean-Pied-de-PortSantiago de Compostela

距離:764 km

這是所有 Camino 路線裡最熱門的一條路,也是這次我走的主要路線。整條路就像走在聯合國一樣,每天都遇到來自世界各地的旅人們,大家都戴著不一樣的理由和故事上路,精彩萬分,而且百分之九十都是獨自上路,之後在路上認識一些志同道合的一起走的案例最多。

此路線沿途的指標、箭頭、餐廳酒吧和住宿點也是最多的。不用太怕迷路,也不用怕餓死,如果你有帶帳篷就更天下無敵了,整片大地都是你的家,有時候甚至連帳棚都不需要了。

此路線主要起始點在南法的 SJPPSaint-Jean pied de port),最具挑戰的第一天就登場囉!翻越庇里牛斯山(你可選擇在山頂上的住宿休息一天,隔天在挑戰無限延伸的下坡),之後就會進入西班牙北方國境,一路向西行至 Santiago 大教堂。我當時是繼續向西至 Muxía,再到歐洲大陸的盡頭,又稱世界的盡頭──Fisterre(請看下一條)。

The Camino de Santiago (the Way of St. James) is a large network of ancient pilgrim routes stretching across Europe and coming together at the tomb of St. James (Santiago in Spanish) in Santiago de Compostela in north-west Spain.

Tours

Yearly, hundreds of thousands of people of various backgrounds walk the Camino de Santiago either on their own or in organized groups. People who want to have peace of mind will benefit from an organized tour or a self-guided tour while many will opt to plan the camino on their own.

Routes

The most popular route (which gets very crowded in mid-summer) is the Camino Francés which stretches 780 km (nearly 500 miles) from St. Jean-Pied-du-Port near Biarritz in France to Santiago. This route is fed by three major French routes: the Voie de Tours, the Voie de Vezelay, and the Voie du Puy. It is also joined along its route by the Camino Aragones (which is fed by the Voie dArles which crosses the Pyrenees at the Somport Pass), by the Camí de Sant Jaume from Montserrat near Barcelona, the Ruta de Tunel from Irun, the Camino Primitivo from Bilbao and Oviedo, and by the Camino de Levante from Valencia and Toledo.

Other Spanish routes are the Camino Inglés from Ferrol & A Coruña, the Via de la Plata from Seville and Salamanca, and the Camino Portugues from Oporto.

The network is similar to a river system small brooks join together to make streams, and the streams join together to make rivers, most of which join together to make the Camino Francés. During the middle ages, people walked out of their front doors and started off to Santiago, which was how the network grew up. Nowadays, cheap air travel has given many the opportunity to fly to their starting point, and often to do different sections in successive years. Some people set out on the Camino for spiritual reasons; many others find spiritual reasons along the Way as they meet other pilgrims, attend pilgrim masses in churches and monasteries and cathedrals, and see the large infrastructure of buildings provided for pilgrims over many centuries.

Walking the Camino

Walking the Camino is not difficult most of the stages are fairly flat on good paths. The main difficulty is that few of us have walked continuously for 10, 20 or 30 days. You learn more about your feet than you would ever have thought possible!

The purpose of this website is to give you information about what it is actually like to walk one of the Caminos, and to choose which one would be the most congenial. Do not assume that you need to walk the Camino Francés just because everyone else does the other routes are much emptier and have lots to offer.

Origins of the pilgrimage

The history of the Camino de Santiago goes back at the beginning of the 9th century (year 814) moment of the discovery of the tomb of the evangelical apostle of the Iberian Peninsula. Since this discovery, Santiago de Compostela becomes a peregrination point of the entire European continent.

The Way was defined then by the net of Roman routes that joined the neuralgic points of the Peninsula. The impressive human flow that from very soon went towards Galicia made quickly appear lots of hospitals, churches, monasteries, abbeys and towns around the route. During the 14th century the pilgrimage began to decay, fact brought by the wars, the epidemics and the natural catastrophes.

The recovery of the route begins at the end of the 19th century, but it is during the last quarter of the 20th century when the authentic contemporary resurge of the peregrination takes place. There is no doubt that the social, tourist, cultural or sport components have had a great importance in the jacobea revitalization but we cannot forget that the route has gained its prestige thanks to its spiritual value.
