<![CDATA[大陸委員會與策進會以行動支持香港電影,促進臺港相互瞭解]]>https://www.voh.com.tw/TW//News/ugC_News_Detail.aspx?NewsCatID=1&NewsID=8549香港名導演許鞍華紀錄片新作《詩》,上週(3月12日)在臺北舉辦特映會暨大師講堂,吸引近200名觀眾一睹大師風采。大陸委員會港澳蒙藏處魏淑娟副處長偕策進會文化組竇文暉組長出席,與許導演及策進會文合會劉嘉明委員交流。魏副處長表示,許導演以戲劇形式重現多首經典詩作及香港詩人的生命故事,並透過鏡頭交織呈現臺港不同時空的生活樣貌,讓觀眾深刻感受到臺灣與香港在文學與生活上的緊密連結,有助增進臺港相互瞭解。放映會結束後,觀眾仍意猶未盡,並盼許導演的下一部作品能有更多臺灣元素。

許導演在映後講堂分享拍攝《詩》的心路歷程,與觀眾熱情互動。她提及自幼受到詩與文學的薰陶,尤其詩對她而言更有化解消沉、撫慰心靈的重要意義,因而一直想以詩爲主題拍片,趁著疫情期間許多電影暫停拍攝,她得以走訪多地拜訪詩人好友,一圓拍《詩》的夢想。對於觀眾追問的幕後故事,許導演也毫無保留,並透露曾逼受訪者黃燦然演出自己的其中一首詩,最終因為演出不自然,忍痛剪掉整首詩。

值得一提,《詩》中有一段讓觀眾存有懸念的訪問,受訪者是現居臺灣從事教職的廖偉棠,他在疫情期間以視訊線上教學,下課前告訴學生將在下一堂課分享一首關於臺灣跟香港的詩,因導演未拍攝他的下一堂課,所以片中未見分曉。事後有觀眾查證後分享,他唸的是一首瘂弦的詩:「觀音在遠遠的山上,罌粟在罌粟的田裡。」他當時說,我們不要尋求像吃藥一樣馬上得到安慰,而是讓你想想受苦的意義。他以此詩為疫病所苦的同學加油打氣。

許鞍華是香港最具影響力的電影導演之一,其執導的電影曾多次贏得國際獎項。她曾3度獲得金馬獎最佳導演,6度獲得香港電影金像獎最佳導演,也是首位作品榮獲香港電影金像獎大滿貫的導演,2020年並獲威尼斯影展金獅終身成就獎。本片《詩》榮獲2023年金馬獎最佳紀錄片提名,將於3月22日起在臺北正式上映。

<![CDATA[國衛院發現自體免疫疾病的致病關鍵 ]]>https://www.voh.com.tw/TW//News/ugC_News_Detail.aspx?NewsCatID=1&NewsID=8504自體免疫疾病是我國十大重大傷病第3名,也是門診第3常見疾病,目前尚無法治癒,病患必須終生接受治療與用藥。

國家衛生研究院免疫醫學研究中心與臺中榮總、臺北榮總今(11)日共同發表最新研究成果,研究團隊成功解開導致自體免疫疾病的關鍵致病機制,未來將有機會進一步針對紅斑性狼瘡(SLE)、僵直性脊椎炎(AS)等自體免疫疾病做藥物開發。

國衛院免疫醫學研究中心莊懷佳副研究員表示,研究團隊歷經6年的時間證實去磷酸酶DUSP22缺失促使泛素酶UBR2含量上升,引發T淋巴細胞過度活化的現象。研究成果已在今年1月發表於全球知名期刊《Nature Communications》中。(原音)

臺北榮總過敏免疫風濕科陳明翰主任指出,自體免疫疾病成因非常複雜,此次研究為自體免疫疾病的致病原因奠下基礎,若未來能開發出控制T細胞活化藥物,將有助於控制自體免疫疾病病情進展。

行政院前院長賴清德任內推動換發數位身分證,卻因資安爭議喊卡,廠商求償10億元,行政院工程會昨天透露調解後金額降在2.8億上下,費用最後還是由全民埋單。對於賠償廠商問題,行政院長陳建仁之前曾否認是「全民買單」。他今天受訪時表示「金額已經不一樣」。(訪音)

近年來現代心理學的發展會參考東方道家、佛家甚至印度文化的思想。東西方的觀點交會擴展了對人的認知,同時延伸了世界觀與因果業力的能量。

 

當人們的視野越寬廣多元,會發現選擇性變多,能夠實踐的更多,力量也會更強。

上士聞道,菫能行於其中。
中士聞道,若存若亡。
下士聞道,大笑之;
弗大笑,不足以為道矣。

是以建言有之:
明道如昧,夷道如纇,進道若退。

上德如谷,大白如辱,
廣德如不足,建德如偷,
質真如愉,大方亡隅。
大器晚成,大音希聲,
大象無形,道襃無名。

夫唯道,善始且善成。

1896年設立的日軍衛戍醫院北投分院,因地處北投,溫泉地景頗為類似日本,因此用以作為日軍傷兵養病之地,同時又能一解思鄉之情。在二戰結束後收歸國有,作為三軍總醫院北投分院,87年訂為臺北市定古蹟

,現名為向陽心苑,作為身心障礙者庇護工場。

【來賓】112年國軍楷模:
海軍146艦隊銘傳軍艦資訊士張芷娸中士

【內容】

與芷娸聯繫敲訪問通告期間,只要訊息遲遲未讀,就知道她又出海執行任務了!

很慶幸的是耶誕節那幾天,芷娸安排北上,終於順利讓這次的邀訪圓滿完成。

她是個笑容燦爛個性直爽的女生,當我請她談談得獎感言時,她說蠻開心的,不過家人和長官都一再提醒她要謙虛低調。

6年前加入志願役士兵,壓根沒有想過會有榮獲國軍楷模的一天,芷娸很感謝自己遇上了感情好到像一家人的長官和同事,更以身為海軍為榮。

曾經在海象不佳的情況下出海執行任務,值更吐、吃飯吐、洗澡吐、連睡覺都可以吐,吐到懷疑人生。但問她如果重來一次,她毫不遲疑的說還是會選擇加入海軍⋯

The protests were organized by the Taiwan Vision Zero Alliance.

The Cabinet approved the amendments to the Road Traffic Management and Penalty Act two weeks ago.

發布於 2024-03-18 10:18:14
President Tsai Ing-wen has joined the annual Bai-Sha-Tun Mazu Pilgrimage for a sixth consecutive year after it got underway at just past midnight in Miaoli County.

Prior to the event getting underway , Tsai participated in a cleansing ritual for the palanquin that bears a statue of the sea goddess Mazu on a nine-day procession to the Chao-Tian Temple in Yunlin's Bei-Gang Township and back.

Organizers say some 180,000 people have registered to participate in the approximately 400 kilometer pilgrimage this year.

發布於 2024-03-18 10:18:14
Global rideshare giant Uber will pay $178 million to settle a long-running dispute with Australian taxi and hire car drivers who lost out when the company entered the Australian market.

A class action suit against Uber had been expected to go to trial in the Supreme Court of Victoria today, but lawyers acting on behalf of 8,000 taxi and hire car drivers said the case will be dropped because Uber agreed to the financial settlement.

It’s the fifth-largest class action settlement in Australia’s history and comes five years after the action was launched (推出).

Tai-Ex opening    
發布於 2024-03-15 10:27:13
The Tai-Ex opened down 92-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 19,845 on turnover of $9.6-billion N-T.

Shares in Taiwan inched up Thursday to close at a new high, after recovering from early losses in the bellwether electronics sector, even as sentiment remained cautious ahead of the United States' release of its February producer price index later in the day.

The financial sector was the main anchor, helping to stabilize the market as some financial firms offered attractive dividend policies, and buying also rotated to some old economy stocks, giving the main board additional support.


Decision on carbon fee rates could be delayed: Minister    
發布於 2024-03-15 10:27:13
Minister of the Environment Shieu Fuh-sheng says a decision on carbon fee rates (費率) by a review committee may be delayed.

Shieu announced in February that a decision on the rates would be made by the end of March, but now says there were now "no guarantees" due to changes to the "wider environment."

The minister cited the expected raising of electricity rates in Taiwan in April, and difficulties in Taiwan's petrochemical industry as factors.

Many Taiwanese companies in the petrochemical industry are included in the 550 big emitters emitting more than 25,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide a year that are to be charged carbon fees by the government.

Shieu says the review committee is meeting for the first time today, and will not yet have any final decisions.

Haiti Presidential Council Plans Moving Forward    
發布於 2024-03-15 10:27:13
Caribbean officials say a plan to create a transitional presidential council is moving forward after a majority of Haitian parties and coalitions submitted the names of those charged with finding new leaders for the country.

Officials said Thursday that the names were provided to a regional trade bloc known as Caricom that is helping lead the transition.

The names were submitted a day after Haitian politicians and influential figures bickered (爭吵) publicly about the plan and what names to submit, seemingly putting creation of the council at risk. Prime Minister Ariel Henry pledged to resign once the council is created.

UK Court Rules Against Claim to Cryptocurrency Fame    
發布於 2024-03-15 10:27:13
Britain’s high court has ruled that an Australian computer scientist is not, as he claimed, the mysterious creator of the bitcoin cryptocurrency.

Craig Wright has for eight years claimed that he was the man behind “Satoshi Nakamoto,” the pseudonym that masked the identity of the creator of bitcoin.

His claim was dismissed Thursday following a trial brought forward by the Crypto Open Patent Alliance, a non-profit group of technology and cryptocurrency firms.

The organization claimed Wright had created an “elaborate (詳盡的,複雜的) false narrative” and forged documents to suggest he was Satoshi and had “terrorized” those who questioned him.

Wright, who attended the start of the five-week trial, denied the allegations.

Tai-Ex opening    
發布於 2024-03-14 10:21:13
The Tai-Ex opened down 7.9-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 19,921 on turnover of $7.4-billion N-T.

Shares in Taiwan closed slightly higher on profit taking Wednesday as investors shifted to the sell side after seeing the main board hit a fresh intraday high of more than 20,100 points.

Market sentiment turned cautious due to higher than expected U.S. February inflation data, which created more uncertainties about when and how the Federal Reserve will start its rate cut cycle.


Chinese Vessel Capsized Off Kinmen, CGA Search Underway    
發布於 2024-03-14 10:21:13
Search and rescue operations are underway, after another Chinese fishing vessel capsized off Kinmen this morning.

Media reports say the boat sank 1.1 nautical miles southwest of Dong-ding Island in Kinmen at around 6am, and the Coast Guard Administration says 4 of its vessels have been dispatched to the scene.

The reports say China has also dispatched (派遣) helicopters and rescue ships, and at least 5 crew members were on board, with some news outlets reporting that 2 have died while two others have been rescued.

The coast guard has also reportedly notified local fishing associations to call nearby commercial ships and fishing boats to join in rescue efforts.

The Ministry of National Defense says it has also instructed the Air Force, Navy, and Kinmen Defense Command to continue monitoring the situation.

NKorea Kim Joins Troops in Tank Training    
發布於 2024-03-14 10:21:13
North Korea says leader Kim Jong Un has joined his troops in training to operate newly developed battle tanks and called for bigger efforts to prepare for war.

The North’s tank training was seen as a response (反應) to the annual 11-day South Korean-U.S. military drills that are to end later Thursday.

The North’s official Korean Central News Agency says the training happened on Wednesday to inspect tankmen’s combat capabilities and involved the new-type main battle tank.

It says Kim mounted one of the new-type tanks and drove it himself.

Japan US to Return Osprey to Service    
發布於 2024-03-14 10:21:13
Japanese officials say the U.S. and Japanese militaries will resume flights of Osprey aircraft in Japan after completing necessary maintenance and training following a fatal crash last November.

Japan’s Defense Ministry says the two countries have discussed the resumption of Osprey flights in Japan since the U.S. announced last Friday that the aircraft has been approved to return to service after an “unprecedented” (史無前例的) part failure led to the deaths of eight U.S. service members in the crash in Japan.

The entire U.S. Osprey fleet was grounded on Dec. 6, a week after that crash, while Japan's military also grounded all of its 14 Ospreys.

Japan's Defense Ministry said that each of the U.S. forces will have separate return-to-flight schedules, but the Osprey flights will be limited to areas around their bases for the time being.

No plans for absentee voting for elections in Taiwan: Premier    
發布於 2024-03-13 10:39:14
Premier Chen Chien-jen (陳建仁) said the government has no plans at present to allow for absentee voting.

Opposition parties in Taiwan have been pushing for absentee voting after the recent presidential election saw the second lowest voter turnout in history.

Chen said election systems would need to be strengthened and further planning and research would be needed before absentee voting could be implemented in Taiwan.

Interior Minister Lin Yu-chang echoed Chen's sentiments, stating that while absentee voting could be suitable for referendums, it poses challenges for regular elections.

In February, a draft bill allowing absentee voting for referendums was approved, but it does not apply to citizens living abroad.

The opposition KMT proposed extending this measure to presidential elections and including mail-in ballots, but ruling DPP lawmakers expressed concerns about potential interference (干涉) from China.

Turnout in recent elections in Taiwan has been declining, with factors such as the inconvenience of traveling to vote contributing to this trend.

UN Food Agency Sounds Alarm for Haiti    
發布於 2024-03-13 10:39:14
The U.N. food agency’s director in Haiti says that 4 million people face “acute food insecurity” and one million of them are one step away from famine.

Jean-Martin Bauer told a virtual press conference that he’s “ringing the alarm bell” because the recent increase in gang violence has made a very bad situation even worse and displaced (流離失所) an additional 15-thousand people — just over the first weekend in March in the capital, Port-au-Prince.

He says that brings the total number of displaced people in Haiti to over 360-thousand, and the U.N. says half of them are children.

Romania President to Enter Race as NATO Leader    
發布於 2024-03-13 10:39:14
Romania’s president says he will enter the race to become the next leader of the 32-nation NATO military alliance, emphasizing his country’s proximity to Ukraine and the threat from Russia.

President Klaus Iohannis wants to succeed Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, who has been NATO’s top civilian official since 2014 and has made clear he will not be staying.

Romania, a NATO member since 2004, borders Ukraine and has played an increasingly prominent (著名的) role in the alliance throughout Russia’s full-scale invasion.

NATO officials and envoys want the nomination for Stoltenberg's successor wrapped up by the end of April.

The Tai-Ex opened down 53-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 19,673 on turnover of $7.9-billion N-T.

Shares in Taiwan closed lower Monday, led by large cap semiconductor stocks, in particular contract chipmaker TSMC, with selling sparked after U.S. chip stocks suffered a tumble at the end of last week.

However, buying rotated to other tech stocks in the downstream segment with iPhone assembler Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. in focus, while select old economy industries as well as the financial sector also attracted bargain hunting due to their relatively low valuations.

Moon rock display from U.S. back at National Museum of History    
發布於 2024-03-12 10:24:14
The National Museum of History says it has retrieved (取回) lunar samples which had been gifted to Taiwan by the late U.S. President Richard Nixon in 1969.

It was first exhibited at the museum in Taipei in 1970, one year after Nixon gave it to Taiwan.

The display and moon soil samples that came with it were then relocated to Academia Sinica's Institute of Physics for safekeeping, before being given to Taichung's National Museum of Natural Science in 1994.

Those samples are now back at the Taipei museum and are part of a show marking its reopening on February 21st after a nearly six-year renovation.

The wooden case display contains four moon rock fragments encased inside a piece of acrylic lucite semi-sphere.

In the display, the lunar specimens are mounted above a flag of the Republic of China, Taiwan's legal name, which was flown to the moon and back on the Apollo 11 mission.

UNESCO on Rebuilding Ukraine    
發布於 2024-03-12 10:24:14
The United Nations cultural and scientific agency says Ukraine will need more than a billion dollars to rebuild its scientific infrastructure that was damaged or destroyed during two years of Russia's war on its neighbor.

UNESCO says that some 1,443 scientific facilities, many attached to universities, have been damaged or destroyed along with 750 pieces of vital technical equipment, most of which is beyond repair.

The war, now in its third year, has also depleted (耗盡的) the science sector of funds and dispersed Ukraine’s scientists, displacing many within the country and sending others into exile (流放).

The report says the cost of rebuilding the sector currently stands at $1.26 billion US dollars.

Sweden Flag Raised at NATO Headquarters    
發布於 2024-03-12 10:24:14
Sweden’s national flag has been raised at NATO headquarters to cement the Nordic country’s place as the 32nd member.

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, Crown Princess Victoria and NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg attended the ceremony in Brussels.

Sweden set aside decades of post-World War II neutrality (中立性) when it formally joined NATO on March 7-th.

This comes more than two years after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine which persuaded Sweden's reluctant (勉強的、不情願的) public to seek safety under the alliance’s security umbrella.

Finland joined last year in another historic move ending years of military nonalignment (不結盟狀態).

Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 178-points this morning from yesterday's close to surge past the 19,500-point mark and hit 19,678 on turnover of 10 -billion N-T.

The market ended the trading day at yet another record high on Wednesday, after recovering earlier losses, as investors opted to ignore a downturn on Wall Street overnight.

The bellwether electronics sector led the broader market higher - with artificial intelligence development-related stocks continuing to be the main focus of investor interest.

US Urges Beijing to 'Engage in Meaningful Dialogue' with Taiwan
The U-S State Department is calling for China to cease its pressure campaign against Taiwan and "engage in meaningful dialogue."

The statement comes after China's Defense Ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiao-gang reiterated Beijing's sovereignty over Taiwan during a press conference - and went on to say "there is no so-called 'central line' across the Taiwan Strait."

According to a State Department spokesperson, the United States has "consistently urged restraint and no change to the status quo," a policy that has preserved (保護,維護) peace in the region for decades and is a matter of global concern.


MAC Bans Group Travel to China from June 1
The Mainland Affairs Council has banned group travel to China after June 1 - saying such tours will not be allowed unless China allows group travel to Taiwan.

According to the council, the reopening of group travel to China is unacceptable, as it would widen Taiwan's tourism deficit with China.

The council says prior to the coronavirus pandemic, Taiwan's tourism deficit with China stood at 6.6-billion N-T and if tour groups are allowed to travel there after June 1 that deficit will substantially (在很大程度上) increase.

Speaking at a legislative hearing council minister Chiu Tai-san told lawmakers the decision to ban such tours is also related to China's unilaterally changing its M-503 flight route, as it is clearly a political move aimed at interfering with Taiwan's affairs.

UN: Migrant Deaths Hit New High Last Year
The U.N. migration agency says more than 8,500 migrants died on land and sea routes worldwide last year, a record high since it began counting deaths a decade ago.

The International Organization for Migration says the biggest increase in deaths last year was on the Mediterranean Sea crossing, with more than 3,000.

It said most of the deaths last year came from drowning.

The count also includes migrants who vanished — often while trying to cross by sea — and are presumed (假定,假設) dead.

Rust Armourer Guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter
The armourer who loaded the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna [HA LEEN A] Hutchins on the set of the movie Rust has been found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.

The actor Alec Baldwin who was holding the weapon when it discharged (開(槍)), faces the same charges at a trial set to take place this summer. Ira Spitzer reports.

SpaceX to Acquire Land from Texas
SpaceX is set to acquire (購得) public land from Texas after the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission approved a land-swapping deal that would cede 17 hectares to entrepreneur Elon Musk's company in exchange for about 190 hectares that are yet to be bought.

The business is looking to expand its rocket-launch operations in the property close to Brownsville, Texas.

Local stakeholders voiced their opposition to the deal, but the commission voted unanimously in favor of it.

EU Fines Apple Over Subscription    
發布於 2024-03-05 10:28:13
The European Union has fined Apple nearly $2 billion by forbidding rivals like Spotify from telling users how they could pay for cheaper subscriptions outside of iPhone apps.

Monday's move is the 27-nation bloc’s first antitrust penalty against the U.S. tech giant.

A complaint from Spotify triggered the investigation amid a yearslong feud with Apple over music streaming supremacy.

Apple says the EU didn't “uncover any credible evidence of consumer harm” and vowed to appeal (上訴).

Activists Calls for Addressing Surrogacy Separately from Sperm and Egg Donation
Women's rights groups are urging the government to address single women and lesbian couples' access to sperm and egg donation separately from surrogacy (代孕) when amending the Assisted Reproduction Act.

Taiwan's Ambassador to Tuvalu Dismisses Switch in Recognition Reports

Taiwan's Ambassador to Tuvalu is dismissing speculation (揣測) that Tuvalu could sever ties (斷交) with Taiwan following today's elections there.

According to Foreign Affairs Ministry official Andrew Lin, recent reports that the Pacific island nation will seek to establish ties with Beijing are based solely on "rumors" (完全是謠傳) and he firmly believes that Tuvalu will continue to maintain strong ties with Taiwan.

Lin says most of Tuvalu's incumbent (現任的) lawmakers are expected to be re-elected in today's congressional elections and the "rumors" about a switch (改變) in diplomatic recognition to Beijing are aimed at "undermining (破壞) the relationship" between the two sides.

The statements come after Tuvaluan Ambassador to Taiwan last Friday said his country could sever ties with Taiwan in favor of Beijing following today's elections.

Kenyan authorities say they have relocated more than 150 rhinos in the last decade.

CDC spokesperson Lo Yi-chun says the JN.1 variant had been detected in over 40 nations around the world as of Dec. 18-th.

Lo says JN.1 is the fastest-spreading variant in Western nations, but cases have remained relatively (相對地) low in countries close to Taiwan, with the variant being detected in less than 10 percent of COVID-19 cases reported in Japan.

Lo explained that while JN.1 is equipped with immune avoidance capabilities that enable it to spread easily, there has been no significant increase in the number of severe cases from the variant, meaning it has a relatively low public health risk factor.

Colombian authorities say two children from the West African nation of Guinea were abandoned in Bogota’s airport and taken into government custody this week after spending several days on their own in the international departures terminal.

Colombia’s national immigration department said the children, aged 10 and 13, had been travelling with separate groups and were left in the airport by their relatives earlier this month for reasons that have not been clarified (澄清、說明).

The discovery of the children comes as migrants from Africa increasingly use South American and Central American airports as stepping stones on the long route to the United States.
