US watchdog says Taliban benefiting from international aid through 'fraudulent' NGOs_我的网站

A |     KABUL, Afghanistan -- The watchdog for U.S. assistance to Afghanistan has warned that the Taliban are benefiting from international aid through the establishment of fraudulent nongovernmental organizations.The Taliban have exerted greater control over national and international NGOs since seizing power in August 2021. They have barred Afghan women from NGO work and sought to push out foreign organizations from the education sector.A report from the U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, or SIGAR, said it found that the Taliban benefit from American-funded education programming through the generation of tax revenues and from more “nefarious” methods like the establishment of fraudulent NGOs and extorting and infiltrating existing NGOs to obtain or direct international donor aid. In May, a SIGAR report highlighted the Taliban’s interference with NGO work in Afghanistan. The Ministry of Economy, which supervises the sector, rejected the claims. Ministry spokesman Abdul Rahman Habib, responding to the latest SIGAR report on Monday, said there was no evidence of interference.According to the report, published this month, the U.S. has spent around $185 million on education in Afghanistan since August 2021.An NGO official told SIGAR that the Taliban target and extort Afghans who receive monetary support from American-funded education programs under the guise of taxation. In another example, NGO officials told the watchdog that the Taliban coerced NGOs into hiring supporters or purchasing goods from Taliban-owned companies.Taliban policies and priorities have reduced the overall quality of education, with a drop in the number of teachers and a decrease in teacher quality, as unqualified community members or Taliban officials replace staff, SIGAR said."We found that the Taliban have been unable to fully fund public school teacher salaries and building maintenance costs, leading to further teacher shortages and the deterioration of school buildings."The redirection of international donor aid to community-based education schools, along with financial and infrastructure challenges facing the Taliban, raised serious questions about how the Taliban could sustain the education sector and if they had any intention of doing so, the report said.An Education Ministry spokesman, Qari Mansor Ahmad Hamza, called the SIGAR report baseless and said the quality of teaching and school facilities in Afghanistan is better than before.“At present, the projects and financial assistance of international aid agencies are under the strong supervision of the top leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan,” Hamza said, employing the term the Taliban use to describe their administration. The leadership promises to “invest this aid” and share reports with the country, the spokesman added.。    与2021年的更新一样，12.9英寸的iPad Pro采用了Mini LED显示技术，以提高黑色水平、更好的对比度和HDR性能，而较小的型号则坚持实用配置较低的屏幕，但两者都支持苹果的ProMotion功能，刷新率最高可达120Hz。新款iPad Pro保持了苹果公司自2018年以来一直使用的整体设计，当时该公司首次取消了Home键，以最大限度地扩大显示面积。但很难说这是一面"全面屏"，因为四面仍有明显的边框，持续四年的外观设计依然持续至今。新款iPad Pro有一个新的 "悬停"Apple Pencil功能，当触控笔稍稍位于屏幕上方时，系统就会检测到它。苹果公司表示，这让用户 "在做标记之前看到他们的预览"。这也让用户能够以更高的精度进行素描和插图，并使用户用Apple Pencil做的一切事情更加轻松。

B | 例如，使用Scribble时，当铅笔靠近屏幕时，文本字段会自动展开，手写的内容会更快地转换为文本。第三方应用程序也可以利用这项新功能，实现全新的标记和绘画体验。苹果公司表示，iPadOS 16是该平台最新的主要软件更新，将在本月某个时候发布。iPadOS落后于iOS 16发布的部分原因是苹果在一个名为"Stage Manager"的新功能上的挣扎，它被描述为"轻松完成多任务的新方法"，在测试期间，一些iPad高级用户对其反应不佳，并被批评为性能有问题。苹果已经对Stage Manager的一些反馈做出了回应，推迟了对外部显示器的支持，并扩大了该功能支持更多iPad型号的范围。M2 iPad Pro支持目前最快的Wi-Fi 6E，下载速度最高可达2.4Gb/s，比上一代产品快2倍。而Wi-Fi+蜂窝型号同时还支持5G（sub-6GHz和mmWave）。新的11英寸和12.9英寸iPad Pro将有银色和太空灰外观，配置为128GB、256GB、512GB、1TB和2TB。11英寸的iPad Pro起价为799美元，现在就可以订购。M2 iPad Pro将于10月26日星期三上市。
