Xabi Alonso: Chelsea's new manager can lift gloom after FA Cup final defeat
NEWS link
Only a few hundred dispirited Chelsea fans were still inside Wembley as Cole Palmer and Co trudged up the steps to collect their losers' medals following their FA Cup final defeat by Manchester City.

The news of Xabi Alonso's impending arrival as the club's new manager, which filtered out within the aftermath of Saturday's 1-0 loss, would have lifted their mood.

The appointment of the former Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen boss, 44, is expected in the coming days and he will be unveiled in pre-season, with his contract beginning on 1 July.

Win or lose at Wembley, Chelsea had already been close to making a decision on Liam Rosenior's replacement - and keen to avoid creating a distraction for players and staff involved in the showpiece occasion.

There was, therefore, nothing to delay the announcement once the match was over, allowing attention to turn to the future.

Although Alonso, who enjoyed a distinguished playing career and led Bayer Leverkusen to league and cup success in Germany, is an exciting appointment for supporters, there is also an acceptance he faces a difficult task.

Chelsea are heading into a turbulent summer as the FA Cup final loss denied them another route into European competition.

Champions League qualification is already out of reach, while a place in the Europa League looks unlikely with the club currently ninth in the Premier League with two games left and probably needing at least a seventh-placed finish.

Conference League football would do little to improve finances or excite fans used to facing Europe's elite.

There is a realistic chance Chelsea will miss out on Uefa competition altogether. However, sources at the club strongly reject suggestions they would prefer to avoid qualifying for lesser competitions, or be content without European football, despite their settlement with financial regulators following significant spending on transfers.

It leaves Alonso inheriting a team low on confidence, operating under financial constraints and facing wider personnel challenges.

Mohamed Salah & Arne Slot: Liverpool unrest continues as Xabi Alonso chooses Chelsea
NEWS link
Mohamed Salah's latest unprompted public outburst will ratchet up the pressure on struggling Liverpool head coach Arne Slot by several notches.

Salah first laid bare his frustrations with Slot and Liverpool after the 3-3 draw at Leeds United in December, claiming he had been "thrown under the bus" after being dropped following the Premier League champions' poor start to the season.

This time Salah, who is scheduled to play his final game for Liverpool against Brentford at Anfield on the closing weekend of the season, took to social media after Friday's 4-2 loss at Aston Villa to launch a thinly-veiled attack on their style under Slot and the failures this season.

Slot has been losing credit fast since winning the Premier League in his first season after succeeding Jurgen Klopp.

And now Salah has called for a return to the kind of football Klopp made his trademark - a "heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear", to use the Egyptian's words.

"The identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good," he added.

The contrast was sharp between Unai Emery's vibrant Aston Villa - who confirmed Champions League football next season with victory at Villa Park and who are in the Europa League Final - and porous, weak Liverpool.

And then came the latest twist in this troubled, turbulent Liverpool season.

This sort of pronouncement could justifiably be seen as Salah repaying his head coach by throwing Slot under the bus, the breakdown of their relationship providing a fractious backdrop to a season in which Liverpool's title defence has disintegrated.

If Salah's attack clearly does not help Slot, who has lost the faith of many Liverpool fans as the Anfield atmosphere becomes increasingly toxic, then his analysis of "us crumbling to yet another defeat this season" hardly reflects well on his own team-mates either.

The sub-plot to Salah's post is that a large number of those same Liverpool supporters see Xabi Alonso as Slot's natural successor.

But the former Real Madrid manager now looks destined for Chelsea, who hope to announce the Spaniard as their new permanent head coach in the coming days.

Alonso has long been touted as a future Liverpool manager, having won the Champions League as a player and then impressed hugely during his time as Bayer Leverkusen boss.

Some hoped he would replace Klopp two years ago, but he instead opted to remain with Leverkusen and Slot came in instead.

It would seem again the timing just will not quite marry up for those dreaming of a fairytale return to Anfield.

England vs New Zealand: Tourists seal 17-run win via DLS to level ODI series
NEWS link
England suffered a 17-run (DLS) defeat in a rain-affected third and final one-day international in Cardiff as New Zealand levelled the series at 1-1.

After morning rain delayed play by an hour, the hosts reached 77-3 after 17 overs before another lengthy break meant the game was reduced to 33 overs a side.

On a slow surface made even trickier by the weather, Alice Capsey's run-a-ball 45 and a cameo of 27 from Amy Jones pushed the hosts to 181-7.

Rain threatened throughout New Zealand's chase, but their middle order played proactively to stay ahead of the run-rate despite being reduced to 40-3 by Lauren Bell early on.

She removed legendary New Zealand all-rounder Suzie Bates lbw for 12 in her final ODI appearance, before trapping both Georgia Plimmer and skipper Melie Kerr in front for seven and one respectively.

Brooke Halliday and Maddy Green withstood Bell's spell in helpful bowling conditions to add 57 for the fourth wicket, as the former finished unbeaten on 42 with support from Izzy Gaze's 22 not out.

The umpires attempted to play through some evening rain but it became unplayable and New Zealand finished on 141-4, 17 runs ahead of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) par score.

The ODI series is followed by three T20s, the format in which the White Ferns are world champions, starting at Derby on Wednesday.

Resilient Celtic time run perfectly to win race after eight-month chase
NEWS link
In Jamboland, those minutes must have been murderous and cruel. The angst must have been off the charts. So much done, so much history made and yet it wasn't enough.

Osmand broke away to score seconds before the end, two team-mates running in his slipstream with every man in maroon up the other end. What a moment that must have been for the youngster, a free run on goal, an open target and the noise of 60,000 fans screaming in his ears.

There was still 30 seconds left to play when the invasion happened, but that time was binned in the chaos. On streamed the Celtic supporters and eye-witness reports with a clear view say things got ugly.

SPFL were informed by match officials later that the final whistle had been blown but still it was a pitiful end to a glorious moment for the home team. A shameful way to treat the visitors, who have given us so much this season, so many supreme moments, so much that made the title race the greatest in the lifetime of so many.

Hearts will be distraught, naturally, but there is a sense that this is just the beginning of their story, that they will come again and again under the management of Derek McInnes, the data analysis of Jamestown Analytics, the backing of the Foundation of Hearts, Tony Bloom and James Anderson, their benefactor-in-chief.

None of that will ease their pain in the here and now. Until they get over the line in this league then that hurt will be an open wound. There has to be enormous pride, too. And hope. A bittersweet season.

Celtic have so much work to do, so many important foundations to put in place for next season. O'Neill pulled off a feat of escapology that wouldn't have been required had the decision-makers above him not been so slapstick for so long.

They'll do a review, no doubt, but they'll be doing it from a position of strength. Champions again, just. And this time, more than any other time, 'just' was enough.

FA Cup final - Chelsea 0-1 Man City: Antoine Semenyo seals fairytale
NEWS link
The FA Cup often tends to produce fairytale stories and Antoine Semenyo's sensational winning goal in this season's final provided the latest in chapter in the storied history of the world's oldest cup competition.

Eight years ago he was on loan at non-league Bath City, but Semenyo carved his name in Wembley folklore on Saturday with an ingenious flicked finish that will live long in the memory in an otherwise forgetful showpiece against Chelsea.

The 26-year-old joined City from Bournemouth in January and has showcased why the £62.5m paid for him was deemed excellent value in an overinflated market - his 72nd-minute strike sealing a 16th major trophy for boss Pep Guardiola and 20 pieces of silverware overall in his 10 years.

"It has happened a couple of times in training - it happened perfectly today," Semenyo told BBC Sport. "Everything happened so fast to be honest. It came straight to me and I had to improvise myself as quickly as I could.

"I have never competed for trophies like this before, so everything is new to me. Hopefully, we can finish the job off. It is a good finish, I can't lie.

"As a kid I have always wanted to be playing for the top teams - it took a long time to get there, but I am grateful."

Former England goalkeeper Paul Robinson added on BBC Radio 5 Live: "It was just brilliant from Antoine Semenyo. The timing of the run and the finish is incredible.

"It was either going to take a mistake or a piece of quality to break the deadlock in this game - and it was a moment of sheer quality.

"That, for me, is one of the goals of the season."

Olympics: North of England bid for games in 2040s being assessed
NEWS link
The government has commissioned UK Sport to conduct an "initial strategic assessment" into a potential bid for the north of England to host the Olympics and Paralympics in the 2040s.

It said the funding agency would examine whether the UK could host the Games for the first time since London 2012, along with potential cost, socio-economic benefit and any bid's chance of success.

"For too long we have been told the Olympics is simply too big and too important to be hosted in the north", Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy told BBC Sport.

"Not any more. It's time the Olympics came north and we showed what we can offer to the world.

"We know that we can pull off the most incredible, not just bid, but Olympics. So we're kick-starting that with a phase-one study about the investment, the resources, the infrastructure, the transport that we're going to need."

The findings of UK Sport's study will determine whether to proceed with a more detailed "technical feasibility study", with a final decision on any bid resting with the British Olympic Association (BOA).

Rousey v Carano: Gina Carano says Ronda Rousey fight 'saved my life'
NEWS link
Gina Carano is heartfelt when she describes how important her upcoming fight against Ronda Rousey is to her.

"It has changed my life but also saved my life," Carano tells BBC Sport.

On Saturday at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, Carano will fight for the first time in nearly 17 years when she faces fellow American Rousey in the first MMA event to be shown live on Netflix.

The contest is tipped to change the landscape of MMA, while Rousey says the bout will set a new purse record for female fighters.

There's much to be proud of for Carano, but only five years ago she was experiencing some of the most difficult moments of her life.

During her time away from MMA, Carano turned to acting, before securing a key role playing Cara Dune in the Star Wars franchise spin-off The Mandalorian.

In 2021 she was dropped from the cast following comments she made comparing being a Republican in the US to being a Jew during the Holocaust.

Carano sued for wrongful termination and sexual discrimination, while Lucasfilm condemned her comments for "denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities".

Carano settled her lawsuit against Disney and Lucasfilm in 2025, but describes herself as being in a "very hurting place" in the years prior where she "lost herself".

"I remember being under so much physical stress that my anxiety hurt so bad that my skin hurt," said Carano.

"I was having panic attacks and it was like the whole world was caving down. That was rough, it was not the best.

"I worked two decades to get the career I had and everything was taken from me overnight."

Seeing that Carano was in a bad place, Rousey pitched the idea of a fight between the pair to the UFC in 2024 believing it would be beneficial to them both.

After negotiations stalled, Rousey then contacted Carano directly before the bout eventually came to fruition under Most Valuable Promotions (MVP).

Carano says she lost 100lb (7st 2lb) since September 2024 training for the contest, and weighed in at 141.4lb (10st 1.4lb) on Friday.

"This fight focused me and gave me purpose to aim for something, not just physically, but it consumed me," added Carano.

"It was incredible to be able to aim all my energy towards something.

"My health is so much better and I feel like myself, I feel comfortable in my skin, I feel alive and I'm grateful every day."

US PGA Championship 2026: Alex Smalley leads, McIlroy, Rahm, Rose, Rai and Scheffler in mix
NEWS link
The third rounds of golf tournaments are commonly known as 'moving day', and Saturday at the US PGA Championship lived up to the billing as stars and lesser lights jostled for position on a crowded and fast-moving leaderboard.

Remarkably, 14 players held at least a share of the lead at some point and 30 will go into Sunday's final round within five shots of surprise leader Alex Smalley who is at six under after a two-under 68.

Over the first two days at Aronimink, with the more severe aspects of the course set-up generating much discussion, it felt more like the brutal examination usually reserved for the US Open.

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy - the world's top two players - were among those to weigh in with less than complimentary observations, with the former going as far as describing some of Friday's pin positions as "absurd".

The PGA of America listened. The governing body moved some tees up and made several pins more accessible which, coupled with more benign conditions, has produced a classic major leaderboard that houses a mix of heavy hitters and less illustrious names.

Several big-time players capitalised on more favourable scoring conditions in the early stages.

McIlroy, who was outside the top 100 after a four-over opening 74 on Thursday, bettered Friday's 67 by one to improve to three under and boost his hopes of following last month's successful Masters defence with his third US PGA title.

Other major winners to vault up the leaderboard included Justin Rose, whose superb 65 left him at two under and revived his hopes of landing an elusive second major, and Jon Rahm, who is two off the lead after carding a 67 to maintain his push for the third leg of a career Grand Slam.

Rose isn't the only man trying to end a 107-year wait for an English winner of this championship, with Aaron Rai alongside Rahm, Ludvig Aberg, Nick Taylor and Matti Schmid on four under.

Not everyone prospered. Scheffler, who shot a Saturday 65 on his way to winning last year's US PGA, surprisingly stuttered to a 71 and is five adrift.

More to follow.

France vs England: Red Roses throw down gauntlet for Six Nations decider

Despite the timely return of Maddie Feaunati, Sadia Kabeya and Lilli Ives Campion, England are still a patched-up work in progress.

Delaney Burns was several leagues deep in the second-row depth charts before the pregnancies of Zoe Stratford, Abbie Ward and Rosie Galligan and injury to Morwenna Talling brought her back to the surface to win her first caps since 2023.

Helena Rowland's play-making skills at inside centre give England plenty, but not the direct route to the line that the injured Tatyana Heard offered.

Prop Liz Crake - who was on a central contract, but well off the selection radar in 2025 - is making a cameo on the bench, filling in for Kelsey Clifford, who has a leg complaint.

Demelza Short is alongside her, with the Bristol Bears teenager having impressed in her maiden Test campaign, but having played at the under-18s Six Nations last year and watched the autumn's World Cup as a fan, her elevation is ahead of schedule

Natasha Hunt, Emily Scarratt, Alex Matthews, Abby Dow, Hannah Botterman, Lark Atkin-Davies, and May Campbell were all part of that title-lifting Red Rose squad, and all are elsewhere.

The constantly changing cast has undermined the defence.

England have seeped points, looking vulnerable to sniping runs around the edge of the breakdown and to driven mauls. Having managed just five and 12 points respectively against England in last year's tournament, both Italy and Wales have picked up try-scoring bonuses in defeat this time around.

Coach John Mitchell has sold the scorelines as evidence of a new, swashbuckling style and a willingness to slug it out toe to toe with the world.

"We'll just keep scoring more," he said on Thursday.

"It's our new identity, it's the way that we're evolving our game."

Defence, he promised, was "one of the easiest things to fix".

France have a crew of wreckers itching to bash holes before the rebuild however.

日本栃木強盜殺人4嫌皆16歲高中生 疑與「匿流」相關

(中央社記者戴雅真東京16日專電)日本栃木縣一處住宅14日發生強盜殺人案,造成69歲婦人死亡、婦人的2個兒子受傷。警方今天以涉嫌強盜殺人逮捕一名男高中生,至今已有4名少年落網,且全部年僅16歲。警方認為4人就是犯罪執行者,懷疑案件與「匿名流動型犯罪集團」(簡稱「匿流」)有關。

NHK、讀賣新聞報導,根據警方調查,栃木縣上三川町一處住宅14日上午9時25分左右遭多名歹徒闖入。歹徒搜刮財物期間,69歲婦人富山英子遭到持刀襲擊,胸口等部位被刺身亡;當時正在屋外務農、趕回家的40多歲長男與30多歲次男,也遭毆打頭部受傷。

警方15日先後逮捕兩名居住於相模原市的16歲少年,今天又逮捕另一名同住相模原市的16歲男高中生,隨後再於下午5時40分左右,以涉嫌強盜殺人,逮捕住在川崎市的另一名16歲男高中生。至此,被逮捕的少年已增至4人。

警方認為,這起案件可能是以「暗黑打工」招募執行者的「匿流」犯罪集團所為,正在持續追查其他涉案人士。

警方透過案發現場周邊監視器畫面等線索,鎖定其中一名少年,於15日晚間在相模原市住家附近,趁其外出時將他緊急逮捕。警方同時在附近公園停車場發現一輛白色高級進口汽車,懷疑是犯案集團使用的交通工具。

警方今天上午將最先被捕的男高中生移送宇都宮地方檢察廳。該少年供稱,「是同年級朋友邀我加入,其他同夥開車逃跑了」。辦案相關人士透露,至少有4人在現場參與犯案,另外可能還存在負責下達指示的上層。

曾任警視廳搜查一課理事官、負責殺人與強盜案件偵辦的副島雅彥分析指出,「對下達指示者而言,即使執行者被捕,只要能拿到錢就無所謂。他們可能是為了逼迫住戶到金融機構提款,因此選擇白天犯案,這是典型的『匿流』犯案模式」。

對於執行者都是16歲高中生,副島指出,「由於近年執行者被逮捕的風險很高,犯罪集團可能認為年紀小的更容易控制,於是將招募對象年齡下降至10多歲」。

副島表示,這類犯罪已逐漸形成「犯罪商業模式」,犯罪集團不斷研究如何避免被捕,與警方展開攻防。

他認為,近年警方透過逐步向上追查的方式接近主謀,已經累積不少成果。這起案件未來可能會與其他案件出現關聯,屆時警方可能結合警視廳及各地警方力量,全力打擊犯罪組織。(編輯:楊昇儒)1150516

韓國瑜出席歐洲台商年會 籲團結不分藍綠白

(中央社記者陳韻聿倫敦16日專電)歐洲台灣商會聯合總會(ETCC)今天在倫敦舉行第32屆年會。率跨黨派立委訪問英國的立法院長韓國瑜在開幕式致詞提到,無論是在台灣海內外,都該團結互助,發揮台灣精神,珍惜台灣人憑自己努力達成的成就並自信走向世界。

韓國瑜說,「心中只有台灣情,眼中沒有藍綠白」是他常講的一句話。在海外,宜「少談政治,多談感情」,不要分藍綠白、分你我。

韓國瑜今天上台致詞時,首先向現場台商與英國來賓介紹立委訪團每一位成員,並稱「光環不能只在我身上」,每一位委員都很辛苦。他並提到,過去幾天陸續訪問法國、英國,深感最能有效與國會議員應對、打交道的,依然是國會議員。

韓國瑜接著說,台商總讓他想到希臘神話中的「浴火鳳凰」(不死鳥),歷經磨練、奮鬥,非常了不起,可自豪是「日不落台商」。

韓國瑜指出,台商在世界各地努力打拼、增加台灣的底氣。台灣製造業在全球製造業附加價值占比達3%,且除了有備受矚目的台積電與半導體產業,還有遍布各產業的中小企業世界級「隱形冠軍」。此外,值得台灣人自豪的還有占世界一席之地的台灣醫療服務和設備。

不過,韓國瑜重申,台灣最重要的成就,依然是透過數十年努力達成的100%民主社會,這是台灣與世界交往的重要名片。

ETCC年會上一次在倫敦舉行已是11年前。英國政府今天由投資辦公室(OfI)東北亞區域主管羅賽爾伊凡斯(Daniel Rossell-Evans)出席致詞。OfI是跨部會聯合辦公室,結合商業暨貿易部、財政部和首相府資源。

羅賽爾伊凡斯開場以華語致意「大家好」,致詞結尾再度以華語表示「希望我們能一起同舟共濟,互利共贏」,贏得現場熱情回應與掌聲。

台英於2023年建立「提升貿易夥伴關係」(ETP),去年並在ETP架構下簽署3項子協議。羅賽爾伊凡斯今天說,這展現英國致力發展與台灣的貿易關係。此外,時任商貿副大臣艾禮遜(Douglas Alexander)去年訪台時,對台英雙邊在投資合作的進展,包括對新創企業的投資,感到振奮。

羅賽爾伊凡斯指出,當今世界充滿不確定性,「找到正確的商業夥伴」因此更顯重要。在英國政府去年6月發布的「貿易戰略」,台灣被提及數次。此外,英國政府同月發布「產業戰略」,揭示8大優先重點發展領域,為相關投資提供政策確定性。

羅賽爾伊凡斯向台灣喊話,期待台灣多加利用英國在世界各地的市場准入優勢,以及透明、法治與創新能力。

ETCC年會匯集來自歐、亞、非、北美和大洋洲的台商代表,以及英國產業、投資和新創圈人士。總統賴清德、副總統蕭美琴、行政院長卓榮泰、韓國瑜、外交部長林佳龍、經濟部長龔明鑫、國家發展委員會主任委員葉俊顯皆致書面賀詞。

英國國會友台小組共同主席柴萍恩(Sarah Champion)透過預錄影片表示,在這個充滿不確定性的世界,民主國家團結相互支持十分重要。英國有開放的經商環境,追求貨真價實的夥伴關係,樂於分享經驗,願與夥伴共同打造繁榮未來。

僑務委員會委員長徐佳青致詞時除了肯定台商的成就、重申僑委會將持續扮演海外僑台商最堅實後盾,也提到台灣經濟近年屢創佳績,包括去年經濟成長率達8.68%,今年第一季更已上衝超過13.6%。

此外,台灣去年對中國的投資在對外投資占比已降至歷史新低3.75%;相較之下,對歐洲、北美洲和東南亞的投資皆呈2位數百分率增長,顯示台灣商業機制的國際影響力擴大,足以給台商自信。

外貿協會董事長黃志芳則說,在這個人工智慧(AI)快速發展、地緣政治動盪的時代,外貿協會和各地台商的共同使命,就是如何把台灣的經貿和科技實力帶到全世界,讓台灣更上一層樓。黃志芳隨後在ETCC年會台歐「經濟貿易論壇」發表演說,主題為「台灣在AI領域的競爭優勢」。

在今天的ETCC年會開幕式,ETCC總會長李欣恬、駐英國代表姚金祥、駐歐盟兼駐比利時代表謝志偉,以及世界台灣商會聯合總會(WTCC)總會長熊強生也陸續上台致詞。

姚金祥提到,立法院跨黨派代表團訪問英國並出席歐總年會,讓今天的開幕式更具意義。國會外交與民間經貿網絡在倫敦相聚,象徵政府、國會與海外台商僑界共同為台灣拓展國際連結。

謝志偉則以具鮮明個人風格的英語諧音和「拆文解字」幽默,讓現場台商和賓客會心一笑,例如他提到數十年前,國際社會關切的是「台灣怎麼了」(what’s the matter with Taiwan),如今則關注「台灣怎麼會這麼重要」(why Taiwan matters)。他最後以「死忠兼換帖」等台語俗語對台商熱情喊話作結。

緊隨在開幕式之後登場的是經貿論壇,演講人包括「創新工業技術移轉」公司(ITIC)總經理余宛如、英國PolyAI公司共同創辦人蘇培皓,以及謝志偉、黃志芳。ITIC是工業技術研究院(ITRI)旗下投資平台。

李四川合體雙北市長造勢 黃國昌也助陣

(中央社記者曹亞沿新北16日電)國民黨新北市長參選人李四川今晚與雙北市長合體造勢,民眾黨主席黃國昌也到場助陣。台北市長蔣萬安力挺昔日戰友,指雙北共治並非「新北變細漢」,雙北將一起為台灣拚經濟。

美麗島電子報董事長吳子嘉今天晚間在三重體育館舉辦「董事長開講」粉絲見面會,邀請李四川、蔣萬安、新北市長侯友宜等人出席,全場估湧入破千名粉絲,國民黨立委徐巧芯及媒體人馬千惠擔任主持人,高喊「萬川連線,帶動雙北」,黃國昌最後也以神秘嘉賓身分現身助陣。

李四川分享自己的人生經歷表示,身為離島的孩子他吃過苦,就讀台北工專時因父親過世,從小寒暑假就要在外打工維持家計,後續也陸續考到室內配線、冷凍空調裝修等證照,學習到「責任來了就必須擔起來,困難來了就是要面對」。

他也留給年輕人一句話,「苦過來的人一定不會忘記別人的苦,被人幫過的人,更應該回頭幫助別人」。

李四川說,自己是從工地走出來的人,也當過3個直轄市副市長,因此知道擔任市長有什麼責任與使命,市長不是選出來講漂亮話,是要替市民解決問題、帶領城市向前走的人。

李四川談到去年拆除台北市公館圓環工程,為了解決該地事故率7年來居高不下,當時他們決定拆除、填平地下道引來質疑,但若不填平地下道,工期至少要2年,因此他們仍決定將人民安全放第一,與團隊將工期從2年縮短至19天。數據也證明,去年10月至今事故率已下降51%。

蔣萬安今天也現身力挺過去「最好的戰友」,他細數和李四川共同完成的政績,包括台北大巨蛋、爭取輝達進駐北士科,以及打造台北無菸城市等,每一項都是從一開始不被看好,兩人一次次共同攜手完成不可能的任務。

蔣萬安說,近日他們提出「雙北共治」的想法,卻有人把它扭曲為「新北變細漢」,「川伯有像我的細漢嗎?」他說,台北和新北是一體的,未來他將和李四川一起為台灣拚經濟。

侯友宜致詞表示,剛去視察淡江大橋十分有感,一座大橋能蓋完絕對非一個人的功勞,是透過大家的努力才能完成。除了淡江大橋外,目前淡水仍有淡北道路、淡海二期以及八里輕軌等重要交通建設待完工,這些都需要工程方面的專業,具工程背景的李四川絕對是交棒的不二人選。

侯友宜說,他和李四川認識16年,他們兩人都是從基層公務人員一步一腳印走到現在,他非常感謝李四川願意承擔,他們團隊也會竭盡所能為李四川開闢新航道。

黃國昌則表示,很多支持者問他為何不選到底,他認為這不只攸關信守承諾,而是因為2026新北這一役太重要,關乎到台灣未來的政治走向,他也呼籲選民支持李四川,用選票對下一代說「我們要的是做實事的政治」。(編輯:黃名璽)1150516

Das described San Francisco as “pretty frenetic right now,” as “the divide in outcomes is the worst I’ve ever seen.”

Using a “back of the envelope AI calculation,” he projected that there are around 10,000 people — founders and employees at companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Nvidia — that have “hit retirement wealth of well above $20M,” while everyone else worries “they can work their well-paying (but <$500k) job for their whole life and never get there.”

Plus, “layoffs are in full swing,” and “many software engineers feel that their life’s skill is no longer useful,” leading to confusion about the best career paths and “a deep malaise about work (and its future),” Das said.

This prompted some eye-rolling on X, with entrepreneur Deva Hazarika arguing that “most of the people in this post” are “incredibly fortunate and can simply make a choice to be happy.”

Another user suggested it’s “pretty damn novel & also kinda nasty” that in the current cycle, “the same technology is both the lottery ticket & the thing eating your fallback.”

Marketing operating system Nectar Social raises $30M Series A led by Menlo
NEWS link
In Brief

AI-powered marketing platform Nectar Social announced Thursday that it raised a $30 million Series A round led by Menlo Ventures and its Anthology Fund, which was created alongside Anthropic.

The company, which officially exited stealth last year, is an agentic operating system for marketers. It told TechCrunch that it uses autonomous AI agents to help brands run “social activity, moderation, creator workflows, competitive intelligence and commerce conversations end-to-end.” It also has data partnerships with companies like Meta and Reddit that allows the Nectar agent pull and pool data into one place from various platforms, rather than brands needing to use different tools to manage different platforms.

Nectar Social was founded by sisters Misbah and Farah Uraizee, ex-Meta employees. Misbah, the CEO, told TechCrunch that this round will help the company expand and hire more across applied AI, enginnering, and go to market.

“The buying conversation has moved into social, and no human team can staff every place it happens,” Misbah said. “We’re accelerating our category lead in building the operating system that lets brands show up everywhere.”

The company said clients include Liquid Death, Figma, and e.l.f Beauty. Other investors in the round include Gwyneth Paltrow’s Kinship Ventures, GV, and True Ventures.

Research repository ArXiv will ban authors for a year if they let AI do all the work
NEWS link
ArXiv, a widely used open repository for preprint research, is doing more to crack down on the careless use of large language models in scientific papers.

Although papers are posted to the site before they are peer-reviewed, arXiv (pronounced “archive”) has become one of the main ways that research circulates in fields like computer science and math, and the site itself has become a source of data on trends in scientific research.

ArXiv has already taken steps to combat a growing number of low-quality, AI-generated papers, for example by requiring first-time posters to get an endorsement from an established author. And after being hosted by Cornell for more than 20 years, the organization is becoming an independent nonprofit, which should allow it to raise more money to address issues like AI slop.

In its latest move, Thomas Dietterich — the chair of arXiv’s computer science section — posted Thursday that “if a submission contains incontrovertible evidence that the authors did not check the results of LLM generation, this means we can’t trust anything in the paper.”

That incontrovertible evidence could include things like “hallucinated references” and comments to or from the LLM, Dietterich said. If such evidence is found, a paper’s authors will face “a 1-year ban from arXiv followed by the requirement that subsequent arXiv submissions must first be accepted by a reputable peer-reviewed venue.”

Note that this isn’t an outright prohibition on using LLMs, but rather an insistence that, as Dietterich put it, authors take “full responsibility” for the content, “irrespective of how the contents are generated.” So if researchers copy-paste “inappropriate language, plagiarized content, biased content, errors, mistakes, incorrect references, or misleading content” directly from an LLM, then they’re still responsible for it.

Dietterich told 404 Media that this will be a “one-strike” rule, but moderators must flag the issue and section chairs must confirm the evidence before imposing the penalty. Authors will also be able to appeal the decision.

Recent peer-reviewed research has found that fabricated citations are on the rise in biomedical research, likely due to LLMs — though to be fair, scientists aren’t the only ones getting caught using citations that were made up by AI.

The offline desk gadget that actually got me to sit up straight
NEWS link
Working from home has its own perils. Pets can be demanding, your back aches from hours at a desk, or you simply forget to move. There are a few apps that nudge you to move around or indicate that you’re not sitting in an ideal position, but they’re easy to dismiss.

I’ve spent the better part of a decade at a home desk, iterating on the setup as I go — gaming chair, lumbar support, the works. None of it guarantees good posture.

Then I came across Isa, a desk device from German startup Deep Care that takes a different approach entirely. It tracks posture, hydration, light, sound, and movement. And it does all of it without a camera or an internet connection, which, in an era of always-on surveillance, is a meaningful differentiator.

Here’s how it works and what’s inside. Isa has a 5.5-inch IPS HD screen and looks like a table clock. It is powered by USB-C; the company supplies a power unit with it, but you can use any of your existing chargers too, as it has a power consumption rating of roughly 2.45W.

The key sensor for the device is the Time-of-Flight (ToF) 3D depth sensor on the front — the same technology used in facial recognition and some smartphone cameras — that tracks posture and movement. It also enables beta features, such as counting the number of times you’ve had water or other liquids. The company said that the sensor works in the range of 0.15 meters to 1.8 meters. That means if the device is sitting on your desk, it can measure your movement, even when you stand up and move about. It also packs several other sensors: a ToF 1D sensor, a gyroscope, a barometer, a light sensor, a sound level sensor, a CO₂/VoC sensor, and a temperature and humidity sensor.

Getting started is straightforward — the device asks for a few details about you and your work routine. I found it strange that there was no option to set the device to India time (or any other Asian time zone). The company said Isa currently supports only EU and US time zones. Fair enough for now — but broader time zone support, or even a simple world clock, feels like a basic expectation for a desk device.

On the screen, Isa displays your posture with a squircle (a rounded square) ring that fills or empties based on how well you’re sitting, while a water-tank-style widget tracks your drinking. If you are not sitting in the correct posture, the indicator will turn yellow. The Apple Watch-style ring is a surprisingly effective nudge — when I see yellow or red, I straighten up almost instinctively.

The device vibrates to alert you if you've been slouching for too long, and I'm okay with that kind of mild shaming. That alert also indicates if you are leaning far too forward or back and helps you correct your stance.

A similar widget tracks movement, and if you have been stationary for a while, Isa suggests you get up, with on-device guided exercises to follow. When you return to your desk after a break, the movement tracker resets.

Deep Care chose not to include a cameras, which helps with privacy, but it comes with trade-offs.

If a bottle or some other object sits between you and the sensor, it may read that as a person and log you as stationary. Pets or housemates passing by can trigger the sensor, too. Isa usually figures out that you've stepped away and goes to a digital clock display, but I would have liked a manual button to tell it I'm not at the desk so it stops tracking.

Because of the sensor-only approach, the device occasionally told me I'd been stationary for too long when I'd been sitting for under half an hour. These are minor inconveniences. On balance, the device made me check my posture more often than I used to, and the exercise suggestions are truly useful.

To process all these features, the device uses a quad-core 2 GHz processor. The device can connect to Wi-Fi for software updates, but you can turn it off at any time.

Deep Care was founded by three former Bosch employees and initially sold Isa directly to businesses. It recently expanded to consumers — a shift that signals confidence in the retail market for workplace wellness hardware, and a test of whether a subscription model layered onto premium hardware can find a mainstream audience.

Isa is priced at €299 ($354) with two subscription tiers. The core plan (€4.99 per month) gives you access to posture tracking, healthy sitting habit tracking, drinking habit detection, and its exercise library. The Pro plan(€7.99 per month) lets you track light, noise, and CO2 levels for a healthy working environment.

The company plans to use Isa's sensor suite to venture into mental health-related tracking. It claims that by using signals like posture, head movement, and chest movement, the device can measure breathing patterns. Plus, paired with environmental data like noise, light levels, and CO2 level, the company wants to introduce a stress-related score.

Even if you skip the mental health features, Isa is a solid device for anyone serious about posture and movement. It isn't cheap, and the subscription adds to the long-term cost. But if you or someone you know works from home and has been meaning to do something about their desk habits, it's one of the more thoughtful options out there.

OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman takes charge of product strategy

In Brief

OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman is officially taking the reins of the company’s product strategy, according to Wired.

This seems to solidify an already-existing change, with Brockman overseeing OpenAI’s products on an interim basis while the company’s CEO of AGI deployment Fidji Simo is out on medical leave. Wired also reports that in a staff memo, Brockman described plans to combine ChatGPT and its programming product Codex into a single unified experience.

“We’re consolidating our product efforts to execute with maximum focus toward the agentic future, to win across both consumer and enterprise,” Brockman reportedly said.

OpenAI told TechCrunch that although Simo remains on medical leave she worked with Brockman on these changes. It also noted that OpenAI has already been talking about plans to combine ChatGPT, Codex, and its API into a single platform, with one core product team.

At the end of last year, CEO Sam Altman declared a “code red” and said the company needs to refocus on the core ChatGPT experience. Since then, OpenAI has halted “side quests” including video generator Sora and OpenAI for Science.

This post has been updated with additional information from OpenAI.

$60B AI chip darling Cerebras almost died early on, burning $8M a month
NEWS link
Today, Cerebras Systems is a public company that sells AI chips for inference to giants like OpenAI and AWS. It held a blockbuster IPO on Thursday, with both of its co-founders billionaires, and ended the week worth about $60 billion.

But in 2019, when it was three years old, it came dangerously close to failure – incinerating a shocking amount of money. It was trying to solve a technical problem no one in the semiconductor industry thought could be done.

“We were spending about $8 million a month,” founder CEO Andrew Feldman told TechCrunch of that period. “At this point, we had incinerated nearly $200 million trying to solve one technical problem.”

Every few weeks, Feldman was forced to make the painful walk of shame to the board meeting to report another failure and more money burned.

But he had no choice. Without a solution, Cerebras was dead anyway.

It was founded with an idea that was simple on paper. The microprocessor industry had spent its entire 50+ years making CPUs faster and cheaper by cramming more transistors onto a silicon wafer and dicing wafers into ever tinier pieces. But AI required so much compute power, many chips had to be strung together and then forced to communicate with each other. Cerebras’ founders believed turning a whole, even bigger wafer into one giant, powerful chip, would work faster.

The problem was, no one had ever successfully done this before, for any reason, AI or not. Orchestrating that many microscopic electronic components onto a larger, but still thin, surface introduced compounding engineering problems.

Once Cerebras crossed the first threshold of designing the mega chip and then manufacturing it with TSMC, the team hit the real roadblock.

They couldn’t solve “packaging.” This involves everything after manufacturing the silicon itself: adhering it to a motherboard, getting power to it, dealing with heating and cooling as well as the pipes that would deliver and return data, Feldman said.

Cerebras’ chips “were 58 times larger. We were using 40 times as much power as anybody had ever used,” he said. There were no premade heat sinks. No vendors. No manufacturing partners. The brightest minds in microprocessor engineering had tried for decades to build such big, yet more dense chips, and failed.

The Cerebras team was left with trial and error in which “we destroyed an enormous number of chips” and an enormous amount of cash. But without functional packaging, the chip was useless.

After exhaustive analysis of each failure, the team finally solved enough problems: how to cool it and move data around. In one instance, they had to invent their own machine that could bolt-in 40 screws simultaneously to secure the wafer to a board without cracking it.

Feldman still remembers the day in July 2019 when it all, miraculously, worked.

They installed the packaged chip into a computer, turned it on and the entire founding team (pictured below) “just stood in the lab and stared at it,” he said. “Watching a computer run is about as exciting as watching paint dry. But there we were watching lights flashing on the computer, stunned that we'd solved this.”

“That was one of the greatest moments of my life,” he said. That's significant, because this same founding team had previously built and sold a pioneering cloud server startup, SeaMicro, to AMD for $334 million in 2012.

The day the chip finally worked was also about two years after OpenAI had talked to Cerebras acquiring it, which Feldman confirmed to TechCrunch occurred like the publicly revealed emails said it did.

Those talks fell through amidst growing squabbling among the OpenAI founders, several of whom are angel investors in Cerebras.

Today OpenAI is a customer and a partner, having loaned Cerebras $1 billion secured by warrants. Those warrants conditionally grant OpenAI about 33 million shares of Cerebras’ stock, the S-1 discloses. (33 million shares are worth over $9 billion at Friday's closing price of $279.)

Interestingly, Cerebras also agreed to not sell its wares to specific OpenAI competitors as part of that loan deal. Feldman wouldn’t confirm that the obvious company this involves: Anthropic. He did, however say that restriction is temporary.

“It's limited in time, and it was designed to make sure that we could get OpenAI the capacity,” he said.

The truth was, Cerebras hasn’t yet grown big enough to handle multiple fast-growing model makers anyway. He likened selling AI compute capacity to an all-you-can eat buffet. Instead of trying to stuff itself on all potential customers, “We're going to work with part of the buffet only, and we're going to get comfortable with that, before we attack the rest,” he said.

《TAIPEI TIMES》 Taiwan vows to maintain ‘status quo’

SECURITY: Taipei presses the US for arms supplies, saying the arms sales are not only a reflection of the US security commitment to Taiwan but also serve as a mutual deterrent against regional threats

By Chen Cheng-yu / Staff reporter, with agencies

請繼續往下閱讀...

Taiwan is committed to preserving the cross-strait “status quo” and contributing to regional peace and stability, the Presidential Office said yesterday.

“It is an undeniable fact that the Republic of China is a sovereign and independent democratic nation,” Presidential Office spokeswoman Karen Kuo (郭雅慧) said, adding that Beijing has no right to claim sovereignty over Taiwan.

The statements came after US President Donald Trump warned against Taiwanese independence.

Trump wrapped up a state visit to Beijing on Friday, during which Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) had pressed him not to support Taiwan.

Taiwan depends heavily on US security backing to deter China from carrying out its threat to annex the nation by force.

Trump said he and Xi “talked a lot” about Taiwan, and that the Chinese leader “does not want to see a fight for independence, because that would be a very strong confrontation.”

“I’m not looking to have somebody go independent. And, you know, we’re supposed to travel 9,500 miles to fight a war. I’m not looking for that,” Trump said. “I want China to cool down.”

“We’re not looking to have wars, and if you kept it the way it is, I think China’s going to be OK with that,” he added.

The US president said he made no commitment to Xi over Taiwan.

Kuo said President William Lai (賴清德) has consistently said Taiwan is committed to maintaining the cross-strait “status quo,” and contributing to regional peace and stability, adding that “it is a stance shared by Taiwan’s 23 million people who value freedom and democracy.”

Taiwan thanks Trump for his long-standing and continued support for security in the Taiwan Strait, she said, noting the “multiple reaffirmations from the US side, including President Trump and [US] Secretary of State Marco Rubio, that the consistent US policy and position toward Taiwan remain unchanged.”

Taiwan will continue to deepen cooperation with the US and “promote peace through strength, with the aim of safeguarding stability in the Taiwan Strait from threats or disruption,” Kuo said. “This is also a shared interest of Taiwan, the US and other democratic countries.”

The government yesterday also pressed for US arms supplies, after Trump said he had not decided on future sales.

Washington is bound by the Taiwan Relations Act to provide weapons to Taiwan.

In December last year, the Trump administration approved a record US$11 billion arms sale package for Taiwan. Lawmakers also approved a US$14 billion arms sale in January, but the sale cannot advance until Trump sends it to the US Congress.

Ahead of the summit with Xi, Trump had said he would speak to the Chinese leader about US arms sales to Taiwan, a departure from Washington’s previous insistence that it would not consult Beijing on the matter.

Trump said he would ultimately “make a determination over the next fairly short period” about the weapons after speaking to the person “that’s running Taiwan,” without specifying who he meant.

“I may do it. I may not do it,” Trump told Fox News.

“I’m holding that in abeyance, and it depends on China, it depends,” he said. “It’s a very good negotiating chip for us, frankly. It’s a lot of weapons.”

Trump also said Xi asked him directly if the US would defend Taiwan in a conflict.

“There’s only one person that knows that, you know, it is me, I’m the only person,” Trump said. “I said, ‘I don’t talk about that.’”

The US has a long-standing policy of strategic ambiguity over whether it would come to the aid of Taiwan if it is attacked by China, with Washington reserving the right to use force, but never explicitly saying whether it would actually intervene. However, negotiating any arms transfers with Xi would flout diplomatic policy.

Taiwan-US relations have also been dictated since 1982 by then-US president Ronald Reagan’s “six assurances,” which take a deliberately vague stance toward Taiwanese sovereignty, but explicitly state that the US would not consult with China on arms sales to Taiwan and would not revise the Taiwan Relations Act.

Asked whether he risked undermining the assurances, Trump said 1982 was “a long way” away, but reiterated he did not make commitments to Xi.

At the same time, he sowed doubt about whether he would follow through with the arms sale.

Still, he told Fox News that “nothing’s changed” with regard to the US’ stance on Taiwan.

In Taiwan, the Presidential Office said China’s escalating military threat is the “sole destabilizing factor” in the Indo-Pacific region, including the Taiwan Strait.

“Arms sales between Taiwan and the US are not only a reflection of the US security commitment to Taiwan as stipulated in the Taiwan Relations Act, but also serve as a mutual deterrence against regional threats,” Kuo said.

“Taiwan-US cooperation has always been demonstrated through action,” she said. “Taiwan looks forward to continuing to work with the US under the firm commitments of the Taiwan Relations Act.”

Asked about the possibility of Trump speaking with Lai about the proposed sale, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Chen Ming-chi (陳明祺) said Taiwan still needed to try to understand the “true intent” of Trump’s remarks.

A senior security official said the implication from Trump was “quite clear.”

“The party with whom arms sales are to be discussed is Taiwan, not Beijing,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

GLOBAL STANDARDS: Taiwan would be watching the Radiocommunication Conference and developments abroad for internationally acknowledged bands, Chen Wei-cheng said

By Chiu Chiao-chen and Esme Yeh / Staff reporters

請繼續往下閱讀...

Taiwan has begun planning for 6G, with a spectrum strategy expected to be proposed by the end of this year, the Ministry of Digital Affairs said yesterday.

The government has been examining next-generation communication spectrums and techniques in preparation for 6G commercial operations, Department of Resources Management director-general Tseng Wen-fang (曾文方) said.

Mobile communications technology tends to take a generational leap every 10 years and could deeply change people’s lives, she said.

The development of 6G systems would move toward ubiquitous connectivity, integrated sensing and computation, and self-optimizing management based on artificial intelligence (AI), Tseng said.

Telecommunications networks would no longer just be a data transmission tool, but would become an infrastructure with smart decisionmaking capabilities, she added.

Although 6G systems would not be commercialized until 2030, the government must complete spectrum assessments, planning and preparation beforehand, she said.

Spectrum refarming and preparation is like an “invisible urban renewal,” Tseng said.

Frequency bands are like finished houses, and spectrum licensing would lead to demolishing “old houses” to rebuild them, she said.

Given the increasing demand for AI, smart Internet of Things and high-bandwidth applications, the current spectrum capacity is no longer sufficient, she said, adding that the government must find extra spectrum resources.

The renewal of the radio frequency spectrum requires time-consuming coordination and communication, Tseng said.

Wireless communications rely on invisible radio waves for transmission, while different frequency bands could interfere with one another, she said.

The government must examine the spectrum and conduct frequency shifts to create space for next-generation communication technology, Tseng said.

The ministry said planning for 6G is different from 4G and 5G systems, mainly because it involves a 20-year opportunity to issue large-scale spectrum licenses.

It expects spectrum licensing for 6G to encourage telecom operators to introduce more next-generation technologies, rather than using existing frequency bands without improvements, it added.

The ministry said it is examining a few promising frequency bands, such as the lower 600MHz band and upper 6GHz band, which includes frequencies from 6425MHz to 7125MHz.

The 4.7GHz to 5GHz mid-band is also being evaluated, it said.

Tseng said lower bands have advantages, such as broad coverage and strong penetration, making them suitable for rural or mountainous areas.

On the other hand, mid and high-frequency bands offer greater bandwidth capacity, she said, adding different bands must be used to balance coverage and high-speed transmission.

The department said the first-phase interview of telecommunications operators, equipment vendors and spectrum users has been conducted to understand the possibility and needs of frequency conversion.

Ministry senior technical specialist Chen Wei-cheng (陳威呈) said Taiwan’s 6G spectrum plan would align with international standards.

The plan must consider developments in other countries, terminal equipment supply chains and the overall industry ecosystem, he said.

If Taiwan chooses frequency bands that are too different from international counterparts, developments in mobile phone supply, international roaming services and the overall industry might be hampered, Chen said.

Next year’s World Radiocommunication Conference 2027 could serve as an important international indicator, as it would help confirm which bands are internationally acknowledged, Chen said.

Licensed telecommunications operators must complete the construction of base stations and procedures required by the National Communications Commission, he said, adding that preparations would require at least one year.

《TAIPEI TIMES》 Convenience stores focus on Southeast Asian customers

TREND:Migrant workers mainly come from Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Thailand, driving strong demand for Southeast Asian products, FamilyMart said

By Yang Ya-min and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writer

請繼續往下閱讀...

As migrant workers, foreign students and new immigrants increasingly rely on convenience stores for daily necessities and services, such chains are focusing on Taiwan’s growing Southeast Asian consumer base.

Retailers have expanded efforts ranging from store layouts and Southeast Asian food offerings to personal financial services to capture rising demand among Taiwan’s foreign residents.

The number of migrant workers in Taiwan has more than doubled over the past 15 years, rising from about 390,000 in 2011 to more than 870,000 this year, Ministry of Labor statistics showed.

If undocumented migrant workers, Southeast Asian spouses of Taiwanese and international students are included, the total is estimated to rise to about 1.2 million.

A nationwide survey conducted by One-Forty, a nonprofit, found that convenience stores have become migrant workers’ “third space” outside factories and dormitories. Migrant workers visit convenience stores on average every two days, with food purchases, international remittances and parcel services ranking as the three most commonly used services.

To meet the growing demand, convenience store chains such as FamilyMart and 7-Eleven have expanded efforts in store operations, product development, service optimization and social engagement to create what they describe as more “diverse and inclusive” shopping environments.

Migrant workers in Taiwan mainly come from Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Thailand, driving strong demand for Southeast Asian food and lifestyle products, FamilyMart said.

The company said that since 2020, it has introduced Southeast Asian product sections at stores in residential and industrial areas with large migrant worker populations.

The sections feature about 100 products from Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines, including snacks, beverages, canned foods and seasonings. Price tags also include country-of-origin and halal labels, while product information has been upgraded to Chinese and English, it said.

FamilyMart said it has accelerated expansion of the sections in the past few years, with about 1,200 stores across Taiwan — about 30 percent of all outlets — now featuring Southeast Asian product areas. Sales in the category last year rose about 70 percent from the previous year.

In 2024, the company also launched Taiwan’s first pork-free hot food section for Muslims and consumers with specific dietary needs, offering items such as pork-free hot dogs and steamed buns. The sections have been introduced at about 220 stores in areas frequently visited by migrant workers, including transportation hubs, hospitals, factory districts and tourist destinations, the company said.

FamilyMart has also developed its hot food series featuring Southeast Asian flavors and halal-certified ready-to-eat meals, which are now available at about 700 stores nationwide.

Meanwhile, 7-Eleven has also established Southeast Asian product sections at about 400 stores across Taiwan, mainly in industrial parks, transportation hubs, university districts and hospital areas with large migrant worker and foreign student populations.

Popular products include instant noodles, snacks and seasonings, as well as Indonesian noodles, Philippine dried mangoes, Indonesian shrimp chili sauce, Thai peanuts, hot sauce, energy drinks, coconut water and rice noodles.

PX Mart said migrant workers have also become a sizable and stable consumer group for the chain. In Hsinchu County’s Hukou Industrial Park and surrounding migrant worker communities, about one-fourth of migrant worker customers are considered high-frequency shoppers, visiting the chain more than once per week, while average shoppers visit about two to three times per month, it added.

To meet the demand, PX Mart said it has also introduced Southeast Asian product sections in areas frequented by migrant workers, focusing on four high-demand categories: household goods, instant noodles, fresh produce, and snacks and beverages, while tailoring products to the preferences of different nationalities.

The company said it has expanded vegetable and spice selections for Vietnamese consumers, strengthened hometown-flavor instant noodles and desserts for Filipinos, and introduced Indonesian personal care and household cleaning brands to improve convenience and familiarity for shoppers.

影片中可見,該路段兩側店家與攤販密集,車流人潮交錯。一輛機車突從路旁鬼切竄出,險些擦撞;對向車道有汽車逆向跨越雙黃線逼車,白色轎車會車時幾乎貼身而過,後方駕駛頻頻急煞。更誇張的是,一名阿伯騎單車突然在路中央大迴轉,民眾提菜籃直接橫越馬路,還有一名撐傘阿嬤慢悠悠跨越雙黃線,彷彿把馬路當自家客廳。

當地居民無奈表示,育英路鄰近市場,上午買菜時段最混亂,「每次開車都像參加障礙賽,只能自己閃快一點。」也有人苦笑說,這是員林日常,「保護自己比什麼都重要。」

員林警分局檢視影片後指出,已確認有機車未依規定使用方向燈、不依規定駛入來車道、單車未依標線行駛、大貨車違規停車,以及行人未依規定穿越道路等情形,違反《道路交通管理處罰條例》,將依法舉發,並持續加強取締與交通疏導。

川習後川普對台論述 美智庫專家:受習近平影響

美國總統川普與中國國家主席習近平會晤後,對台灣發表的評論引發國際關注。美國智庫「外交關係協會」亞洲研究員石可為向《紐約時報》指出,北京把台海緊張源頭歸咎台灣,以及與實情不符的台灣推動獨立視為需要管控的風險。川普會後對台灣的論述,顯示出受到習近平對台海局勢說明的影響。

請繼續往下閱讀...

福斯新聞以「川普警告台灣,勿期盼來自美國軍事的空白支票」為題摘錄川普訪談內容。15日播出的「特別報導」節目中,川普提到,台灣一直都是北京關切的重要議題,但「北京不是要接管,而是不想看見這個『地方』,我們稱為地方,因為沒人知道要如何定義,不想看見他們走向獨立。」

川普認為,中國不會在他任內有所行動,但「當我不在時,我想他們可能會(行動)」、「我不確定在維持現狀下他們是否會行動,但他們(台灣)現在有人想要獨立,這有風險」,強調「我會樂見維持現狀」。

中國外交部長王毅15日向媒體說明川習會情況,強調在會晤中「感受到美方了解中方立場,重視中方的關切,和國際社會一樣,不認同也不接受台灣走向獨立。」

第79屆世界衛生大會(WHA)即將於18日在瑞士日內瓦登場,台灣聯合國協進會於日內瓦科爾納萬車站舉辦的「台灣加入WHO特展」,16日盛大開幕,衛福部長石崇良及跨黨派立委與會。前進WHO宣達團團長、台灣聯合國協進會常務理事史書華強調,盼讓世界理解台灣願意且有能力貢獻,早已是國際社會重要一員,健康不應有政治界線,「The World for Taiwan, Taiwan for All」,呼籲國際社會持續支持台灣。

台灣聯合國協進會(TAIUNA)組成宣達團,於當地時間5月16日到18日在日內瓦科爾納萬車站主辦「Two Decades: From the Streets to the Global Stage, TAIWAN」特展,並於16日下午3時舉辦開幕活動,活動也邀集瑞士小旺來協會、歐洲挺台健走協會、台灣醫藥衛生青年聯盟共同協辦。衛福部長石崇良所率之世衛行動團,及跨黨派立委組成的世衛視導團也出席特展開幕。

請繼續往下閱讀...

史書華致詞表示,台灣參與WHO已努力20多年,本次特展呈現許多前輩與民間團體長期投入的足跡,不只是讓世界看見台灣,更要讓世界理解,台灣願意且有能力貢獻,早已是國際社會重要的一部分。他指出,台灣歷經SARS與COVID-19,即使在最困難的時候,仍選擇透過口罩、醫療物資與防疫經驗幫助世界,因為健康不應有政治界線,疫情也不會因政治而停止。

史書華強調,台灣被排除在WHO之外,不只是台灣的損失,更是全球公共衛生體系的缺口。台灣將持續輸出醫療能力與經驗,幫助需要的國家,並且與各國交流,一起致力於健康平權的世界衛生組織的基本宗旨。他並以今年標語「The World for Taiwan, Taiwan for All」,呼籲國際社會持續支持台灣。

衛福部長石崇良表示,感謝台灣聯合國協進會多年來持續為台灣發聲,今年外交部與衛福部首度在日內瓦舉辦「WHA台灣智慧醫療暨健康產業展」,展現台灣的貢獻與實力,並將舉辦根除C肝、癌症防治、數位健康及醫療韌性4場專業論壇,與世界各國交流。

民進黨立委郭昱晴表示,把台灣的聲音帶到全世界非常重要,希望可以和世界分享台灣經驗,展現台灣的韌性。

國民黨立委廖偉翔指出,台灣第10年沒有受邀出席WHA,如同小孩從幼稚園到國中畢業之久,然而,10年來台灣對世界醫療的幫助從未缺席,今年更有實質突破,以辦理醫療展覽主動出擊,讓世界看到台灣的價值。

民眾黨立委陳昭姿也說,台灣不只享受先進國家的醫療成果,更有能力貢獻,台灣不應被排除在外,盼趕快走進WHA。

健康網》護眼不只葉黃素 專家推這「色」食物 助夜間視力

食農專家韋恩表示,花青素除賦予蔬果紅、藍、紫各種顏色,據研究,也可清除自由基、護心又護眼;情境照。(圖取自freepik)

〔健康頻道/綜合報導〕花青素存在於許多食物中,近年也是受到關注的營養素之一。食農專家韋恩表示,花青素是植物裡的天然色素,研究指出,它不僅具有清除自由基的抗氧化力,對於心血管、腦部也有助益。此外,花青素對於眼部的幫助特別值得關注,研究顯示,攝取除可減緩眼部疲勞外,還能提升夜間視力。

韋恩於臉書粉專「韋恩的食農生活」發文表示,花青素賦予蔬果紅、藍、紫各種顏色,但它不只是美麗的色素,根據研究,花青素對自由基的清除能力,比維生素E強50倍、比維生素C強20倍,而且屬於水溶性小分子,口服後45分鐘就可以分布到各組織器官。

請繼續往下閱讀...

此外,韋恩說,眼睛是體內血管密度最高的器官,花青素對眼部的幫助也特別值得關注,研究顯示,它可減緩眼睛疲勞、提升夜間視力、促進視紫質的再生。傳說二次大戰英國空軍夜間作戰能力特別強,是因為飛行員伙食特別安排了藍莓,雖然事後有研究者認為,這可能是掩護雷達的謠言,但花青素對夜視的幫助,確有科學文獻支持。

至於心血管方面,1篇整合44項研究的系統性文獻回顧發現,定期攝取富含花青素的莓果,可能改善血脂、減少慢性發炎,並有降低血壓的潛力。另有研究顯示,富含花青素的飲食可降低9%心臟疾病風險,以及8%的心臟病死亡風險。

韋恩表示,花青素對於腦部微血管暢通也有益處,有助預防與阿茲海默症相關的 beta-amyloid斑塊堆積。食物來源包括藍莓、瑪基莓、紫米、茄子、紫甘藍、黑醋栗、蝶豆花,顏色越深,通常花青素含量越豐富。

台中市長盧秀燕接待海地大使潘恩(H.E. Roudy Stanley Penn)時,曾說好市多在全世界有900多分店,第1名營業額在台中(南屯),副市長黃國榮在旁說,第2名也在台中(北屯),引發「中部人很會買」議論,美式賣場台灣好市多(Costco)並未公布營收排名,僅強調,持續透過強大全球採購規模,致力將規模經濟效益回饋給會員。

海地共和國駐我國大使潘恩12日到訪中市府,盧秀燕招待潘恩喝珍奶,言談中提及好市多全世界業績最好都在台中,由於好市多大中華區總監曾拜訪黃國榮,黃國榮在旁陪同說,第2名也在台中,本報向業者求證,好市多依慣例不證實營收排名,強調對於會員支持,會持續透過強大全球採購規模,將規模經濟效益回饋給會員。

請繼續往下閱讀...

好市多全球業績「店王」爭議,從3年前(2023年)起陸續引發討論,好市多大中華區土地開發部總監黃美綺在今年2月,曾拜訪中市府,當時提及以台中的人口增長潛力,「開到6家分店都沒有問題」,間接證實中台灣包含周遭彰化及南投縣市,消費力驚人。

北台中店於2020開幕6年來,業績持續攀升,旅居加拿大民眾Vita說,先生每天在北美好市多排名,都會看到「Taiwan」(台灣)最厲害的是每天都看到,業者強調,讓會員以更具競爭力價格購得優質商品。

記者問鄭麗文是百年奇才?趙少康反問:你不覺得嗎?

國民黨主席鄭麗文。(資料照)

國民黨主席鄭麗文在內部「空戰執行力」培訓課程,自豪靠「鄭習會」已經搞定北京,訪美再搞定華盛頓,「選舉就好選了」。國民黨事後指此內容與事實不符,但前中廣董事長趙少康被問到對鄭麗文的評價是否是「百年奇才」,趙反問記者:「你不覺得嗎?」

趙少康日前諷刺,鄭麗文聲稱「已經舉辦鄭習會,搞定了北京,接下來去美國,搞定華盛頓之後,大家選舉就好選了」,真的要「大大恭喜國民黨」!鄭麗文「一婦當關 萬夫莫敵」,國民黨只要靠鄭麗文一人,既能搞定北京,又能搞定華盛頓,還能會見美國總統川普,更可以得諾貝爾和平獎,將來還要重返聯合國,重振中華民國國威。

請繼續往下閱讀...

趙少康昨受訪表示,國民黨主席以前都不是這樣子嘛,也許國民黨之所以丟掉政權,也是因為主席不像鄭麗文這樣;如果鄭麗文當主席,國民黨根本不會把政權丟掉,「我們現在期待國民黨、期待鄭主席把政權拿回來」,大家對她的期待就在這裡。

不過,記者問到鄭麗文從參選以來,只要遇到爭議的意見,都說媒體造謠,會不會覺得她有些失格?趙少康表示,鄭麗文說自己沒批評過他,「我才從來沒有批評過她」,他都是對事,沒有講她個人怎樣沒有。但國民黨不能變成一言堂、變成一個獨裁黨,連事情都不能談,這很奇怪。

趙少康說,跟鄭麗文意見不同,就精神有問題,就很難理性溝通,「跟妳意見不同,就大家不要相信他的話」,這不好。

韓媒:台灣握AI供應鏈生態系 南韓僅靠2巨頭望塵莫及

初次上稿05-16 23:49 更新時間05-17 06:26

台灣以台積電為核心,建構出完整AI供應生態系。(路透)

〔編譯魏國金/台北報導〕美國人工智慧(AI)資料中心的投資熱潮,為台灣與南韓經濟注入活力。韓媒《ChosunBiz》16日分析指出,台灣的AI供應鏈生態系推動台灣整體經濟成長,而南韓記憶體主導的模式限制了外溢效應,這使得台灣領先南韓,成為AI投資熱潮中的最大受惠國。

請繼續往下閱讀...

根據南韓銀行數據顯示,今年第一季南韓GDP年增3.6%。尤其季增1.7%,創2020年第3季以來最大增幅,為南韓央行預測(0.9%)的兩倍。南韓經濟已連續低迷3年,僅維持年增率1%至2%,而半導體正是經濟成長的核心。

然而半導體的榮景並未擴及整體經濟,儘管今年第一季製造業產出季增3%,創2020年以來最大增幅,但排除半導體,成長率降至0.2%。與內需直接相關的私人消費成長率維持在0.5%,20與30歲年齡層者約15%找不到工作,青年失業率飆升至7%。

反觀台灣,今年第一季GDP年增13.69%,從上一季的12.65%上升,台灣經歷39年來最強勁的增長,為AI投資週期最大受益者。

該文說,台灣透過主導AI供應鏈的結構,實現了先進經濟體空前的兩位數成長率。台灣的高成長是源於將AI半導體設計、製造、封裝到伺服器生產等整個供應鏈環節整合成單一生態系。以台積電為核心,有機性的連結聯發科、日月光、鴻海與廣達等企業,牢牢抓住全球AI供應鏈。這與南韓形成鮮明對比,南韓只有三星電子與SK海力士在全球舞台上出類拔萃。

這樣的結構將全球AI投資效應與台灣的內需連結起來。大型科技公司的投資透過台企的銷售,提振內需。事實上,台灣3月失業率降至3.34%,創2010年以來最低點,薪資成長維持在4%至5%區間,這使得去年第4季私人消費年增3.45%,今年第一季擴大至4.89%。在台灣,AI熱潮正創造薪資成長與消費擴張的良性循環。

該報導說,南韓雖然有許多製造業,但像記憶體這樣具有壓倒性技術優勢的不多。反觀台灣,台灣集中發展IT產業,並將其「平台化」(platformized),從而掌控AI等先進產業的供應鏈。

台灣之所以能成為AI投資熱潮的最大受益者,是大小企業逐步掌控供應鏈核心環節,累積實力而獲得的結構性成果。與依賴「價格週期」的南韓不同,台灣正透過「結構與生態系」建構成長潛力。只要南韓繼續以記憶生產為中心,AI投資熱潮帶來的收益必然有限。

該文說,一個能控制供應鏈的經濟體,才能夠實現良性的成長循環,這樣的循環將投資、生產與就業、消費連結一起。在AI領域,成敗取決於建構出怎樣的經濟生態系。

羈押獲釋又趕工,男子玉清宮前騙走200萬遭判3年6個月。(資料照)

洪姓男子前年因擔任詐騙集團車手被捕並遭法院羈押,獲釋出所後不但沒汲取教訓,竟立刻「重操舊業」。洪男加入另一詐團,去年佯裝成理財專員,在苗栗市「玉清宮」前與一名被害人面交200萬元,隨即搭車到高鐵苗栗站把贓款轉交詐團其他成員。苗栗地方法院審理後,認為洪男主觀惡性重大,依三人以上共同詐欺取財罪,判處有期徒刑3年6個月。

判決書指出,洪男前因涉及他起詐欺案件,於2024年10月1日遭法院裁定羈押,同月16日才獲釋。未料洪男出所後又加入其他詐騙集團,該詐團在網路上架設假投資網站,誆稱操作虛擬貨幣可以穩賺不賠,一名被害人信以為真,與集團相約面交「投資」。

請繼續往下閱讀...

去年6月21日中午,洪男聽從集團指示,前往苗栗市玉清宮前與被害人碰面,當場收取200萬元現金,得手後隨即前往高鐵苗栗站,將贓款轉交給集團的收水手。

法官審理後,認為洪男正值壯年、高中畢業,入監前在工地工作月入5萬多元,洪男更稱家中還有老父與4歲幼女需要扶養,卻在羈押出所後旋即再犯;非適度加重其刑不足使其覺悟,最終從重判處有期徒刑3年6個月。

5/17「金牛座新月」能量放大!12生肖「小滿前這樣做」愈來愈順、愈來愈有錢!(本報製圖)

〔娛樂頻道/綜合報導〕財務卡關、焦慮睡不好?自今(17日) 即將迎來金牛座新月,也是農曆4月的第一天,迎來一年之中與「財富、穩定、安全感」連結最深的新月能量。塔羅牌專家艾菲爾老師提醒,當月亮在金牛座重新歸零,也象徵我們能重新整理生活秩序、修復金錢焦慮!

艾菲爾強調,比起快速暴富,這輪新月更在乎「慢慢變好」的踏實幸福,讓人能夠真正享受到「持盈保泰」的快樂與成就感。他也為12生肖指引專屬的「富足轉運法」,讓未來的自己,值得更好的生活。(註:小滿節氣前5/17~5/21皆可執行!)

請繼續往下閱讀...

➤鼠│錢包聚財法

.準備一張乾淨平整的紙鈔與一枚硬幣,在晚上九點後放進平常最常使用的錢包內層。接著打開手機備忘錄,寫下三件「今年最想穩定成長的事」,不限於金錢,也可以是健康、人際或感情。

.寫完後,把紙鈔對折壓在枕頭下睡一晚,隔天再放回錢包。這個儀式象徵「讓財富貼近生活」。

.最後記得整理一次錢包,把發票、過期卡片清掉。你會發現,當空間開始乾淨,財運也會慢慢流動起來。

➤牛│大地許願法

.找一盆植物,不論是多肉、薄荷或小盆栽都可以。小滿節氣前替植物換水或鬆土,並一邊默念:「我願意讓生活慢慢穩定、慢慢富足。」

.接著在小紙條寫下三個與金錢有關的願望,例如加薪、存款、還清債務,再把紙條折起來壓在盆栽底部。

.這個儀式不求快,而是象徵「長久累積」。之後每次替植物澆水時,都等於再次替自己的財運灌溉能量。

➤虎│紅包開運法

.準備一個全新的紅包袋,在裡面放入88元、168元或888元象徵性的金額。小滿節氣前,點一盞暖黃色燈光,把紅包放在桌上,閉上眼睛想像一年後財務穩定的自己。

.接著大聲說出一句:「我有能力創造豐盛。」這個儀式最重要的,不只是招財,而是重新建立對自己的信任感。完成後,把紅包放進抽屜七天,不要打開。

.七天后,可將裡面的錢拿去請自己吃一頓好吃的,象徵「財富迴圈」。

➤兔│香氣富足法

.替自己準備一杯熱牛奶、奶茶或花草茶,再搭配淡淡香氛蠟燭。小滿節氣前,把房間燈光調暗,播放舒服音樂,讓自己徹底慢下來。

.接著寫下一份「理想生活清單」,內容不是數位,而是你真正想過的日子。比如:有安全感的家、穩定收入、能安心睡覺的夜晚。寫完後,把紙折起來收進書本裡。

.這個儀式的重點,是讓你重新感受:「富足其實是一種安心感。」當內在不再匱乏,外在世界也會慢慢改變。

➤龍│金色願望法

.找一樣金色小物,例如金色筆、飾品或硬幣,放在桌面中央。小滿節氣前,拿出一張白紙,寫下你未來半年最想達成的財務目標。

.寫的時候不能模糊,例如「收入增加兩成」、「完成副業計畫」會比「想變有錢」更有效。寫完後,把紙折三次壓在金色物品下方,並保持七天。

.七天內,每天看一眼自己的願望。這個儀式會讓你從「空想」慢慢進入真正行動的狀態。因為金牛新月真正強調的,是能落地的夢想。

➤蛇│鏡子能量法

.晚上洗完澡後,站在鏡子前,替自己塗上乳液或保養品。接著一邊看著鏡中的自己,一邊說:「我值得被善待,也值得擁有富足。」

.之後拿出一張紙,寫下近期最消耗你的金錢習慣,可能是情緒購物、亂花小錢或不敢談薪水。

.寫完後,把紙撕碎丟掉。這個儀式像是一場溫柔的「財務斷舍離」。

➤馬│行動招財法

.準備一雙平常最常穿的鞋子,把鞋底擦乾淨。小滿節氣前,在鞋盒裡放入一張寫著願望的小紙條,例如:「遇見新工作機會」、「接到更多訂單」。

.隔天穿著這雙鞋出門,象徵「帶著新運勢前進」。

.另外,很適合在這幾天主動聯絡久未見面的朋友,因為你的財運,很可能藏在人際流動裡。

➤羊│房間留白法

.小滿節氣前,請替房間做一次小規模整理。特別是床邊、衣櫃與堆積雜物的角落,只要清掉一小部分就好。

.整理完後,點一小盞暖燈,在桌上放一顆水果或甜點,象徵替未來生活留下「甜美空間」。

.接著閉上眼睛三分鐘,想像自己一年後最安穩幸福的模樣。這個儀式會幫助你把混亂能量慢慢沉澱下來。

➤猴│靈感存錢法

.準備一個透明玻璃罐,放入第一枚硬幣。之後每想到一個新點子、副業靈感或未來夢想,就再放一枚硬幣進去。

.小滿節氣前,替玻璃罐綁上一條黃色或金色緞帶,象徵替財運聚光。

.這個儀式很適合容易三分鐘熱度的你,因為它會提醒你:真正能變現的靈感,需要被持續累積。未來幾周,你很可能突然冒出新的工作方向。別急著否定,那些看似天馬行空的念頭,說不定正是命運準備送你的禮物。

➤雞│帳本轉運法

.小滿節氣前找一天晚上,把近期的支出、收入簡單記錄下來,不需要精算,只要誠實面對自己的花費就好。

.接著點一支白色蠟燭,在旁邊放一杯溫水,象徵讓金錢能量重新流動。

.寫完帳後,請在最後一頁加一句:「我願意讓金錢成為支持生活的力量,而不是焦慮來源。」吹熄蠟燭後,把水慢慢喝掉。這個儀式不是讓你變小氣,而是重新學會與金錢和平相處。

➤狗│門口迎福法

.小滿節氣前,請把家門口稍微整理乾淨,鞋子擺整齊、垃圾順手清掉。之後在門邊放一杯米或鹽,大約一晚即可。

.這象徵替家中穩定能量「守住財氣」。

晚上回家時,請在門口停三秒,再輕聲說一句:「願好運進門,煩惱留在外面。」

.這個小動作看似簡單,卻能讓你慢慢建立安全感。因為近期對你而言,最重要的財富,其實是內心不再焦慮。

➤豬│甜點豐盛法

.買一份自己喜歡的小蛋糕、甜點或水果,在小滿節氣前的夜晚慢慢享用。吃之前,先默念一句:「我允許幸福與富足進入生活。」

.接著拿出紙筆,寫下未來半年最想完成的三件事。不要只寫責任,也請寫下真正讓你快樂的願望。寫完後,把紙收進枕頭套裡三天。

.這個儀式會提醒你,富足不只是賺很多錢,而是願意好好照顧自己的心。當你開始感受到生活的甜,宇宙也會慢慢把更多溫柔送到你身邊。

買錯不如用拖把 洗地機選購5大指標全解析
NEWS link
洗地機主打的是「吸拖合一」,相較於乾濕兩用吸塵器,更專注在拖地功能上,尤其能應付水漬或黏膩污漬,因此成為近年家電市場的新寵兒,也是「懶人打掃」升級的新選擇。但市面機型眾多、功能繁雜,價格帶落差也不小,如何看懂規格、掌握選購重點是關鍵,萬一沒挑對,可能反而不如傳統拖把來得好用。

洗地機是近年清潔家電市場的新寵兒,一機完成吸地和拖地的麻煩事。圖為Dyson Clean+Wash Hygiene。

關鍵1:越輕越好用?靈活操控性更重要

早期洗地機普遍機身較重、拖動費力,近年則已朝輕量化發展,但挑選時可別只一味追求「數字上的輕」,操控的靈活度更是關鍵。現在多數機型會透過自動牽引等設計,利用前推力帶動機身,讓拖拉更省力順手,也是選購重點。

請繼續往下閱讀...

在賣場選購試用時也別忘了留意刷頭轉向是否流暢,例如左右各45°的擺幅角度能輕鬆繞過桌腳等障礙物,搭配180°平躺設計,才能深入家具下方;此外,刷頭最好能貼合牆角,減少清潔死角。這些細節看似微小,卻會大大影響了實際使用的成效。

洗地機應具備良好的操控靈活度,才能讓打掃過程更省時省力。

關鍵2:不是能吸就好?固液分離更便利

洗地機的選購細節還包括是否具備「固液分離」設計,意即將打掃時吸入的污水和固體垃圾自動分開處理,污水集中在污水箱,固體碎屑則分離到專屬收集區,避免混在一起造成後續清理麻煩,同時降低殘渣堵塞管道的風險。

尤其對於家中有幼兒或寵物的家庭來說,這項功能特別重要,例如牛奶打翻、餅乾碎屑散落等情境都很常見,少了這項關鍵設計,清理水箱的「崩潰感」恐怕會讓人覺得不如使用傳統拖把或抹布來得省事。

固液分離設計,能讓吸入的污水與固體垃圾自動分開處理,後續清理更輕鬆。圖為輝葉良品i-Cyndi HYG-ZA01。

關鍵3:自清潔、熱風烘乾? 搭配手洗保養更全面

洗地機通常會訴求一鍵自動清潔刷頭,或是熱風烘乾功能,讓清潔後的維護更輕鬆,不過,要真正做到乾淨、避免刷頭產生異味,仍建議定期搭配手動清洗,效果會更理想,因此像刷頭、滾刷或水箱等是否「好拆好洗」,也是不能忽略的重點。

另外,熱風烘乾是時下中高階機型的主流功能,主打讓刷頭更快乾、更衛生,但相對也會增加耗電與價格負擔;若預算有限、挑選沒有烘乾功能的機種,記得購買後要勤於手動清潔,並放置通風處晾乾,才能降低異味問題。

洗地機若具備自清潔和熱風烘乾功能是加分項,但仍需定期手動清潔刷頭,才能維持真正乾淨、避免異味。

關鍵4:吸力越大越乾淨?其實刷頭影響更大

洗地機在宣傳上常主打「大吸力」,多以「Pa」為單位,數值越大代表吸力越強,但也不必過度迷信數字,因為吸力過高也可能伴隨較大的噪音和耗電量,一般來說,吸力16,000Pa以上已足以應付日常居家清潔,但也有些品牌並不會特別標示吸力數據,若對吸力有疑慮,建議至實體賣場親自試用。

另一方面,一台洗地機的清潔效果並不完全取決於吸力大小,整體刷頭設計也是關鍵,除了要能有效帶起並吸除髒污,具備防纏繞功能更為理想,避免毛髮卡在滾刷上,影響清潔效率與後續維護。

與其追求大吸力,其實更應該留意刷頭設計,以免影響清潔表現。

關鍵5:水箱、續航越大越好?用不到也沒必要

至於常被討論的水箱容量、續航力,反而不一定需要列為洗地機的優先考量。原因在於水箱越大雖可減少換水次數,但同時也會讓機身變重,實際使用上,裝太多水往往一次打掃也用不完,污水箱更是每次打掃後一定要倒掉,否則容易發臭,以一般狀況來說,無論清水箱或污水箱,約0.6~1公升已夠用。

續航力也是類似的概念,以居家而言,打掃30坪左右空間約需10分鐘左右,因此比起電量大小,「是否具備方便的充電設計」更影響日常使用的便利性。功能介面也不用追求複雜,洗地機的核心還是在於吸地和拖地,好上手才是最實際的選購方向。

水箱和續航力不用過度追求越大越好,比較建議維持「夠用就好」原則。圖為伊萊克斯極適家居800 EFW81713。

國中會考》文言文題幹太長 國文科大魔王
NEWS link
國中教育會考昨起登場,許多學校派出啦啦隊為考生加油打氣。(記者叢昌瑾攝)

一個題組下有4個小題 有考生沒寫完 還有人看不懂在問什麼

國中教育會考國文寫作測驗,今年以「賦予事物新面貌」為核心主題,引導學生思考如何透過創意、觀察與改變,讓原本習以為常的事物產生新的價值與意義。至於國文科考題則重視閱讀理解、跨文本統整及生活應用能力。不少同學一步出考場就說,文言文部分題幹很長、很難;半開放式的作文還算好發揮。

請繼續往下閱讀...

教育部國教輔導團教師認為,「賦予事物新面貌」題目,考生可以從校園生活、家庭經驗、地方文化或社會觀察切入,不算難寫。

作文「賦予事物新面貌」 好發揮

苗栗縣造橋國中校長林孟君說明,寫作測驗提供三則情境範例作為引導,包括園遊會以「以物換物」取代金錢交易、將老舊糖廠磚牆改造成特色杯墊,以及將盛產香蕉製成新產品等,日常生活中的事物只要透過巧思、創新或重新組合,都可能展現新用途與價值,重點不在於「寫什麼」,而是否能透過具體例子、完整脈絡與真實感受,展現思考深度與創意。

此外,今年國文科考題重視閱讀理解、跨文本統整及生活應用能力,國教輔導團教師分析,整體難易適中,題幹附圖不少,跨文本的閱讀能力很重要。

題組考驗統整資訊、跨域能力

新北市錦和高中教師陳恬伶表示,有題組結合都市垂直農場、荷蘭漂浮牧場與循環經濟概念,考驗學生統整資訊與理解跨域內容的能力,也有試題引用莎士比亞「第十二夜」及「海的祈禱」等作品,要求學生推論人物情感與文本意涵;另有題目結合古代投壺、五代帝王襆頭造型與昆蟲知識等內容,讓學生從文字、圖像與資料進行判讀與轉換。

台北市龍山國中簡同學面露難色說,文言文題幹長,甚至出現一個題組下有四個小題狀況,寫來吃力。萬華中學阮同學直言「沒寫完!」他說,考卷後半閱讀測驗篇幅較長,還都是文言文,比歷屆試題困難。

台中居仁國中施姓學生指出,走出考場大家齊聲喊難,前面選擇題的文言文部分,用刪去法後,還有兩個選項不知從何選起。蔡姓學生也說,今年文言文考題難度增加,還有出詩的題型,有點「看不懂在問什麼」。至於寫作測驗,居仁國中任姓考生說,之前看過偏鄉資源不足,決定以二手車為主題,結合共享汽車概念,可把二手車變共享資源引進偏鄉再利用,感覺不難寫。

高雄五福國中考生林同學表示,有一題以難民父親的第一人稱視角,描述祈禱孩子渡海逃難平安的心情,呈現戰爭下人民的痛苦與無奈,讓人印象深刻。

2026年新版防衛白皮書 提及共軍頻繁擾台 對中國軍事活動保持警惕
NEWS link
日本防衛省2026年版「防衛白皮書」草案15日曝光,提及對中國在日本周遭日益頻繁的軍事活動保持警惕。圖為日本自衛隊在東海上空拍攝到的共軍蘇愷27戰機。(路透資料照)

日本共同社十六日獨家報導,根據十五日曝光的日本防衛省二〇二六年版「防衛白皮書」草案,日方將提及對中國在日本周遭、特別是太平洋側的日益頻繁的軍事活動保持警惕、提及共軍頻繁在台灣附近軍演,以及表示要與美國等盟國合作應對中國。

報告指責中國大幅增加軍費

日應與美國等盟國合作應對

報導指出,防衛白皮書草案列舉共軍在日本周遭的活動,包括去年六月史無前例在太平洋同時部署兩艘中國航空母艦、共機「異常接近」日本自衛隊飛機的事件,以及去年十二月共機在沖繩本島東南方的公海上空以雷達照射自衛隊飛機,指責中國「在缺乏透明度的情況下」,繼續大幅增加國防支出。

請繼續往下閱讀...

報告指出,因應中國構成的挑戰,日本應該「運用綜合國力」,並且與美國以及志同道合的國家密切協調。防衛省二〇二六年版防衛白皮書草案預計今年七月提交內閣審議。

防衛白皮書草案還評估共軍頻繁在台灣周遭海空域進行軍演,稱此明顯意在將之正常化與改善共軍的作戰能力。草案中也「嚴重關切」中國與俄羅斯不斷擴大在軍事上的合作,包括中俄轟炸機在日本西側從東海飛到太平洋海域。

至於北韓,草案中稱其正以極快速度推進飛彈研發計畫,認為北韓「構成比以往更嚴重與更迫在眉睫的威脅」,以及警告北韓可能會透過與俄羅斯合作來提升其軍事能力。

有鑑於從烏俄戰爭中學到的教訓,該草案還另闢新章詳述戰爭形式的演變,論及使用涉及大量生產的廉價無人機與傳統砲彈與飛彈的大規模聯合式攻擊,以及強調在長期衝突中維持充足的軍火庫存與維持作戰能力的必要性。

川習會落幕,美國國會跨黨派議員紛紛力挺台灣,呼籲川普政府盡速批准140億美元對台軍售案,眾議院議長強生公開重申對台灣的支持。(美聯社)

川習會落幕,美國國會跨黨派議員紛紛力挺台灣,呼籲川普政府盡速通知國會二〇二六年一月預先核准的一四〇億美元對台軍售案。美國聯邦眾議院議長強生昨公開重申對台灣的支持,強調國會一直以來都對台海高度關切,且明確表達美國在台灣議題上的立場是台灣必須保持自主與安全。

跨黨派籲華府履行承諾 挺台灣防衛

由參院外委會首席議員夏亨領銜,昆斯、墨菲、凱恩、墨克利、布克、沙茨、范霍倫、達克沃絲與羅森等十位參議員發表聯合聲明,對川普在川習會期間拒為美國對台支持立場辯護「深感不安」,呼籲川普政府正式通知國會今年一月預先核准的一四〇億美元對台軍售案,並依「台灣關係法」拒絕任何以武力或脅迫改變現狀的企圖。

請繼續往下閱讀...

共和黨籍聯邦參議員匡希恆表示,批准一四〇億軍售案履行了美國對台長期承諾,將有助維護美國國家與經濟安全。

反對片面改變現狀 習說法悖離事實

眾院「中國共產黨特別委員會」民主黨首席議員卡納受訪說,美國應堅守一九八二年的對台六項保證。川習會後他對台灣感到關切,因為現實是中國正在收緊台灣周圍的「絞索」,更多船艦在台灣島周邊巡邏。

眾院中國特別委員會主席、共和黨眾議員穆勒納爾表示,美國必須履行對台承諾,並指中共從未統治過台灣,習近平所謂統一說法「悖離歷史事實」;眾院外委會民主黨首席議員米克斯則說,美國必須確保台灣擁有所需的防禦武器。

外交部長林佳龍昨對美國國會友人的支持表示感謝。

國安官員:川普不讓習對美台軍售喊價
NEWS link
國安官員昨指出,若要看清楚「川習會」及後續美國總統川普訪談中關於台灣的政策立場,應該從白宮、國務院與川普在不同場合接連表態來整體觀察。(路透)

川習會三訊號:對台政策不變、維持現狀、軍售只和台灣談

「川習會」落幕,國安官員昨指出,若要看清楚「川習會」及後續美國總統川普訪談中關於台灣的政策立場,應該從白宮、國務院與川普在不同場合接連表態來整體觀察,當中所釋出的三大訊號大致一致,就是「對台政策不變」、「維持現狀是關鍵」、「軍售怎麼賣只和台灣談」。他強調,「川普沒有讓習近平可以和他對台灣的軍售喊價」。

請繼續往下閱讀...

政策不變 魯比歐、川普接連表態

國安官員指出,美國國務卿魯比歐在北京明確表示,對台政策沒有改變。這是行政部門在川習會後最直接的政策確認,魯比歐同時駁斥習近平關於台灣問題可能引發衝突的警告,白宮也在社群上推播國務卿的這段表述;川普也在「福斯新聞」專訪說「什麼都沒變」。美國總統和國務卿接連在廿四小時內做出這樣表示,訊號非常明確。

川普談話脈絡 包括要中國「冷靜」

「維持現狀是核心利益」。國安官員分析,川普在訪談中反覆提到習近平一再和他表達的台灣獨立問題,有人直接把這解讀為川普正依照北京的要求對台灣劃紅線。但完整觀察川普談話脈絡,包括要中國「冷靜」,顯示他在意的不是「獨立」,也不想清楚定義台灣地位,而是不希望任何打破現狀的動作。

國安官員認為,川普說不想看到台灣喊獨立、然後美國要飛九千五百英里去打仗,是他不想為了破壞現狀,傷害美國與各方核心利益被拖進戰爭風險,並不是幫北京定義台灣的政治身分。從蔡英文到賴清德兩位前後任總統,都清楚表達過,台灣已經是主權獨立國家,沒有宣布獨立的問題。

軍售問題 川普明確說沒給習承諾

在對台軍售上,國安官員強調,川普被問到是否批准超過百億美元的軍售案,他的回答是「可能批,也可能不批」,拒絕透露決策的關鍵考量。魯比歐也說,軍售問題在這次川習會中「並沒有佔據突出地位」,川普更明確的說他沒有給習近平任何回應與承諾。

在空軍一號的訪談中,川普說到準備和「目前治理台灣的人」溝通再做決定。官員分析,這個負責台灣事務的人是誰,指向都很清楚:「軍售的商議對象是台灣,不是北京。」至於所謂的軍售作為籌碼存在的說法,在這個脈絡上,更接近是對北京的警示,「你不要一直想破壞現狀」。

國安官員強調,川普曾提到可能和習近平討論對台軍售,當他被問到是否牴觸「對台六項保證」?川普回說一九八二年「是非常久以前的事了」,但包括川普在內都已經清楚表明,儘管習提出各種要求,但都只得到不回應,「川普沒有讓習近平可以和他對台灣的軍售喊價」。

馬文君凍潛艦 又「超刪」國防預算
NEWS link
國民黨立委馬文君。(資料照)

專家痛批:對台灣國防傷害最大的立委

立院近期審查今年度中央政府總預算,國民黨立委馬文君提案主張將「潛艦國造第三階段後續艦籌建」預算全數凍結,另提案將海軍「各式靶具採購案」三二七九餘萬元刪掉五千萬元,減列數高於編列數約一八〇〇萬元,引發「超刪」爭議。對此,專家痛批,馬文君此舉「專業能力有問題」,更是「別有用心、對台灣國防傷害最大的立委」,根本是要癱瘓國防,剝奪台灣的水下威懾戰力。

海軍三千餘萬靶具採購

竟減列五千萬變成負數

馬文君另也提案刪除空軍「機場專用三千加侖消防車籌購案」二分之一;也要求陸軍減列「定位定向系統」二億元、「高空滲透跳傘訓練模擬器」購置案三億元。

請繼續往下閱讀...

馬文君:沒有超刪

對此,馬文君表示,靶具全案共一億六千餘萬元,「沒有超刪」;潛艦後續艦第一年(一一四年)廿億元預算尚未執行完成。其餘刪減部分則未回應。

陸軍昨向本報說明,「定位定向系統」是砲兵測量重要裝備,主要用於測地作業,以提升計畫性火力初發射擊精度,增加作戰效益與降低遭敵反制機會;「高空滲透跳傘訓練模擬器(垂直風洞)」則為提升陸軍特戰部隊高空滲透、自由落體及空中姿態控制等核心作戰能力所建置,將持續編組業管說明,爭取支持。

空軍說明,規劃籌獲新式消防車,搭配更現代化滅火劑、探測器及輔助工具,以汰換現役使用逾卅年以上老舊消防車,因應機場各類軍事設施、各類軍機所可能衍生之複雜火場與特殊災害。海軍強調,各項預算均依作戰需求及建軍備戰實需,審慎編列,海軍將積極溝通說明。

不過何澄輝昨受訪說,馬文君這種「超刪」在預算法規上根本無效,「完全是來鬧事的」。他強調,面對兩岸海軍艦艇約九比一的懸殊差距,潛艦是最佳的不對稱戰力,具備「存在艦隊」的威懾效應,能有效拖慢中共進攻並墊高其戰爭成本。馬意圖從根本上剝奪台灣的水下戰力,這對台灣防衛極為有害。

此外,何澄輝也點名曾任海軍司令、退役上將的同黨立委陳永康。他說,陳永康過去被視為台灣「潛艦派」的代表人物,但在此關鍵時刻,面對同黨立委毫無專業的惡搞與瞎搞,卻未見其出面制止或勸阻,坐視國軍戰力卡關、同袍處於危險中,令人難以對其國防專業產生尊重。

國中教育會考昨日登場,考場以各自的方式祝福考生。(記者叢昌瑾攝)

今年國中教育會數學科,教育部中央輔導團老師認為,考題內涵兼具生活化與多樣性,部分題目需從圖表中擷取與判讀訊息,也有部分題組取材新穎,考生會「有點陌生」;考生則對非選題印象深刻,直呼每題題幹長達一頁之多,很像考「閱讀素養」。

台北市北投國中教師林柏嘉分析,前十一題多以單一數學知識概念為主,計算量相對較低;第十二題至第十八題則逐步增加訊息判讀、概念連結及情境轉化的需求;第十八題以後題目需具備較清楚、深入的數學概念理解與推論能力。

請繼續往下閱讀...

桃園市平鎮國中教師劉建成指出,第十七題全國用電量問題要推估未來七年用量。第十題逛書店分別購買與一起購買的打折問題,需要學生從圖表中擷取與判讀訊息等。

非選擇題部分,第二題以三個五邊形沙發需緊密拼成Y字型沙發椅,並放置在正六邊形地毯上為題,要求學生求出拼合後的相關角度並推算地毯邊長至少需為多少公分。林柏嘉表示,學生必須擬定合理的解題推論方法,還要能清楚說明解題過程與理由。

台北市大安國中呂同學認為,非選題題幹敘述比較長,要思考一下再解題。陳同學也說,非選題花費比較多時間。

台中居仁國中楊姓考生指出,前十五題只要觀念夠熟,為基本拿分題,但從十六題起到廿二題較具難度,非選題第二題如「大魔王」,有兩個子題要證明,第二個子題證明過程甚至要寫到十行之多。

蔡姓考生指出,今年題組題共三題比往年多一題,且題幹超長,每題題幹長達一頁之多,很考驗考生「閱讀素養」。楊姓及蔡姓考生也說,感覺「簡單的題目變更簡單,難題變更難」。

高雄鳳西國中高同學表示,非選題很有挑戰性,問六邊形的邊長,雖知答案但文字說明不易表達。

川普對台政策未變 支持非無上限
NEWS link
美國總統川普十五日從北京啟程返美途中,在空軍一號專機上接受媒體的採訪。(美聯社)

軍售案是談判有利籌碼

美國總統川普在川習會期間錄製的「福斯新聞」一對一專訪中,談及與中國國家主席習近平針對台灣議題的談話內容。川普表示,台灣人民的安全感和美國對台政策在川習會後沒有變化,並表明一四〇億美元的對台軍售是與北京談判的有利籌碼。

福斯新聞以「川普警告台灣,勿期盼來自美國軍事的空白支票」為題摘錄川普訪談內容。十五日播出的「特別報導」中,川普提到,台灣一直都是北京關切的重要議題,但「北京不是要接管,而是不想看見這個『地方』,我們稱為地方,因為沒人知道要如何定義,不想看見他們走向獨立」。

請繼續往下閱讀...

川普認為,中國不會在他任內有所行動,但「當我不在時,我想他們可能會(行動)」、「我不確定在維持現狀下他們是否會行動,但他們(台灣)現在有人想要獨立,這有風險」,強調「我會樂見維持現狀」。

主持人拜爾問及「川習會後台灣人應感到更安全或更不安?」川普回答「持平」(Neutral),「一切都沒有改變。我會說,我不想有人走向獨立」、「我們得去打一場九千五百英里遠的戰爭。我不樂見此事。我希望他們冷靜,希望中國冷靜」。

川普樂見台海維持現狀

談及對台軍售,川普說「我或許會(核准),也或許不會」、「我們不想要戰爭。如果讓事情保持現狀,我認為中國可以接受。但我不想有人說,因為有美國支持,所以要走向獨立」。

川普表示,這項暫時擱置的軍售案會如何處理取決於中國,「這對我們來說是非常好的協商籌碼。這是一大筆武器」、「中國是非常強大的國家,(台灣)是一個非常小的島嶼,間隔只有五十九英里,我們則有九千五百英里,這是有點棘手的問題」、「台灣和中國要是都能讓事態緩和一些會是明智之舉」。

軍售案得和治理台灣的領導人溝通

川普十五日搭乘空軍一號返美時提到,會在短期內決定是否核准對台軍售,還說「我得和當前治理台灣的那個人溝通—你們都知道是哪位」。自一九七九年台美斷交後,台美領導人再無直接溝通。二〇一六年川普以總統當選人身分與前總統蔡英文通話,引發中國不滿。

美國智庫「外交關係協會」亞洲研究員石可為向紐時指出,北京把台海緊張源頭歸咎台灣,以及與實情不符的台灣推動獨立視為需要管控的風險。川普會後對台灣的論述,顯示出習近平對台海局勢的說明產生影響。

中國外交部長王毅十五日向媒體說明川習會情況,強調在會晤中「感受到美方了解中方立場,重視中方的關切,和國際社會一樣,不認同也不接受台灣走向獨立」。

國中教育會考昨起登場,考生們聚精會神的提筆作答。(記者叢昌瑾攝)

社會科試題結合全球暖化、法國臭蟲危機、環保APP與子女從母姓等生活及國際議題,考驗學生跨科整合與資料判讀能力。教育部國教輔導團教師分析,圖表題占比超過五成,強調閱讀理解、資訊分析與真實情境應用。

新北市中平國中老師賈生玲表示,閱讀量與往年相近,但大量結合地圖、統計圖表與生活情境,強調空間判讀與資料分析能力,例如第十六題以歐亞北極航線航行次數變化為素材,引導學生理解全球暖化如何影響航運與國際經濟;第廿九題透過「坑頭」、「坑尾」等聚落名稱搭配等高線圖,測驗地形與空間概念。

請繼續往下閱讀...

高雄市明義國中老師陳莉婷指出,歷史題型強調閱讀理解與脈絡分析,例如第四十題利用十八至十九世紀各國航海日誌與航線圖,要求學生結合大航海時代背景,分析殖民勢力與航線分布;第十五題結合美洲古文明遺址與地震帶分布,展現歷史與地理跨科整合特色。

法國臭蟲、石油危機入題

高雄市路竹高中老師師秀玲分析公民考題,第十二題以法國臭蟲危機為例,引導學生思考全球化與公共衛生風險。

台北市大安國中柯同學認為,地理考題比較難一些,有一題考甘蔗應該在哪個經緯度範圍,印象深刻。

台中居仁國中楊姓學生說,今年很多題目很吃「閱讀素養」,其中一題要答福音書「新約聖經」,出自何時及何地的選項,要先刪除西元前的選項,因為新約聖經是西元後才有。

高雄五福國中張同學表示,有幾題時事題令他印象深刻,包括愛滋病患者的數量增加率、同性婚姻法的關係,還有烏俄戰爭和全世界石油議題。

約會許未來!ABC男友豪贈百萬 醫材女業務淪洗錢人頭
NEWS link
(刑事局提供)

社群相親活動結識

台北市一名卅歲醫材女業務,今年三月間透過臉書平台的社群相親活動媒合,認識自稱美國華僑的周姓「ABC」男子,隨後便在對方每日噓寒問暖的甜言蜜語攻勢下,發展為情侶關係,還碰面約會,上月底對方以要給予廿萬人民幣(台幣約九十餘萬元)當女友未來一個月的生活費為由,騙取她五個銀行帳戶、提款卡,結果立即淪為詐騙集團的洗錢人頭帳戶,遭警方通知女業務到案,她始知受騙上當,目前台北市警方受理偵辦中。

給5銀行帳戶收款

刑事局表示,今年三月間,被害人在臉書廣告看到優質ABC相親活動,經由臉書平台媒合認識一名自我介紹為ABC(在美國出生、接受美國教育長大的華人後代)的周姓男子,兩人加LINE後,對方聲稱自己從小在美國長大,不擅講國語,故皆以英文傳訊聊天,期間周男表達早年投資有成,現已有房有車、財富自由,爸媽希望他找一個同文同種的華人伴侶,因而來台相親,未來將共同赴美生活。

請繼續往下閱讀...

之後,二人每天都會聊天,迅速發展為情侶關係,也相約外出碰面過一次,上個月,周男藉口有投資的稅務問題要回一趟美國,並表示願意將近期投資獲利的廿萬人民幣支付給被害人當未來一個月的生活費,但因金額過大,需要她提供五個銀行帳戶分別匯款。

警通知到案 才知上當

被害人信以為真,提供了自己名下的三個帳戶和跟哥哥借用的二個帳戶給對方,對方後續又以香港外匯管理中心查證金流為由,要求她先寄出這五個帳戶的提款卡給指定銀行人士,以便確認帳戶乾淨,上月廿日被害人自便利商店寄出五張金融卡,五個帳戶隨即被當作人頭帳戶匯入詐騙款項;三天後,警方陸續接獲民眾報案,立即將這些帳戶凍結,並通知被害人到案,被害人這時才恍然大悟,但對方已失聯,悔不當初。

刑事局提醒,近年「假相親、真詐騙」案件仍持續發生,犯罪態樣慣用「ABC華人」、「財富自由的海外成功人士」等精心包裝身分,透過每日關心問候逐步建立信任後,慫恿投資詐騙,或者誘使提供銀行帳戶、提款卡,讓戀愛腦的被害人成為詐騙集團洗錢的工具,民眾須特別小心。

秀火箭槍闖禍 孫安佐拘提聲押 涉犯恐嚇公眾、公共危險、槍砲等罪
NEWS link
孫安佐在IG社群平台上傳火箭槍影片,引發公眾安全疑慮,檢方昨聲押禁見。(取自孫安佐IG)

知名藝人孫鵬和狄鶯的兒子孫安佐,十四日在IG上傳影片,分享自己發明的火箭槍,火箭槍噴出十多公尺的巨大火焰,孫還表示:「要把一些老鼠給清掉,拿這個就剛剛好」;台北市警局北投分局昨當著孫男父母的面拘提他到案,孫的陳姓經紀人一併被捕,警方依公共危險罪嫌移送士林地檢署偵辦,檢方複訊後對孫安佐聲押禁見。

裝煤油點火 射程達10多公尺

孫安佐是在IG上傳影片,「公開二〇二六最新發明神級火箭槍」,畫面中孫揹著類似瓦斯桶,填裝煤油後點火,立刻噴出超巨量火焰,射程達十多公尺,頓時黑煙竄天。他聲稱全程都有做好安全措施,還表示,「把一些老鼠給清掉的時候,拿這個就剛剛好這樣」。畫面曝光引發網路議論。

請繼續往下閱讀...

警方根據檢舉,認為孫安佐持用的噴火槍,射程及威力超出一般民用範疇,且是在北投溪畔測試,火焰效果巨大,又緊臨公眾通行道路及民宅,引發公眾安全疑慮,明顯涉犯公共危險及槍砲等罪,昨日清晨前往孫安佐北投住家搜索,將孫安佐帶回調查,並查扣噴火器。

火焰效果巨大 引發安全疑慮

警方隨後前往孫安佐的陳姓經紀人家中搜索逮人,陳男因涉嫌協助拍攝影片和持用火焰槍被列同案。陳男也是網紅「重讀」(又稱重讀天月),為YouTuber團體「大麻煩」成員,是孫長期合作的經紀人與格鬥賽夥伴。

檢方認為,孫男涉犯恐嚇公眾、放火未遂、公共危險、槍砲等四罪,有逃亡、滅證及反覆實施之虞,聲請羈押禁見。

尋求強化軍力 北約秘書長將促歐洲軍火商提升產能
NEWS link
隨著北大西洋公約組織(NATO)設法強化歐洲軍事實力,北約秘書長呂特(Mark Rutte)下週將敦促歐洲軍火企業增加投資並提升產能,同時也安撫美國總統川普的不滿情緒。

知情人士向英國「金融時報」(Financial Times)表示,呂特預定在布魯塞爾與歐洲主要國防集團領袖會面,督促他們加緊行動,並為7月於土耳其安卡拉舉行的北約年度峰會重大宣布鋪路。

請繼續往下閱讀...

業內人士指出,呂特定期與歐洲主要國防企業高層會談,但一次聚集大量企業代表並不尋常。他此次向業者傳達北約的期望,也凸顯北約內部急於在土耳其峰會上展現國防工業擴張的強烈需求。

報導指出,包括萊茵金屬(Rheinmetall)、賽峰集團(Safran)、空中巴士(Airbus)、紳寶(Saab)、MBDA及萊昂納多(Leonardo)等歐洲主要軍火商,預料都將派代表出席會議。

川普(Donald Trump)對北約未能支持他對伊朗的戰爭感到憤怒,為了化解他的怒氣,北約希望歐洲軍火商協助滿足川普對北約提升國防支出的要求。

此外,由於對華府的承諾疑慮升高,歐洲也冀望這些投資能減少對美國的依賴。

去年荷蘭海牙的北約峰會上,成員國同意響應川普將國防支出提升至國內生產毛額(GDP)5%的呼籲。

若北約歐洲盟國達到5%的國防支出目標,到了2035年,歐洲國防年度總支出將比2024年增加1兆美元。

呂特希望歐洲國防企業能夠迅速投資,而非等待政府的大量新訂單。

近年來,針對歐洲軍事生產能力不足的根本原因,歐洲軍火公司與各國國防部產生分歧。業者指責各國政府未簽訂足夠的長期採購合約,而各國則認為業者未能及時提高產能。

儘管歐洲相關集團已著手解決彈藥短缺問題,但長程飛彈的取得如今成為歐洲各國面臨的主要難題之一。(編譯:徐崇哲)1150517

〔記者凌美雪/台北報導〕NSO國家交響樂團攜手TBT泰武古謠傳唱美巡,第2站於美西時間15日晚間(台灣16日上午)在洛杉磯知名的科爾本音樂學院Thayer音樂廳(Thayer Hall, Colburn School)登場。值得一提的是,科爾本音樂學院也是此次擔任獨奏的鋼琴家嚴俊傑的母校。

嚴俊傑於德國漢諾威音樂院獲得音樂教育與最高演奏家文憑(等同博士)後,獲得科爾本音樂學院全額獎學金,直到取得演奏家文憑,原來校方希望嚴俊傑留在美國教書,但嚴俊傑選擇回到台灣,在台師大任教。也就是說,嚴俊傑與科爾本的關係匪淺,此次攜手NSO在Thayer音樂廳演出,也獲得校方熱情支持。

請繼續往下閱讀...

嚴俊傑說,科爾本是全美唯二全額獎學金的學校,另一家就是寇蒂斯,能夠考上的學生都不是等閒之輩;科爾本創立這個學校的時候,希望學生可以完全沒有負擔地朝著自己的目標前進,所以一路以來有非常多高材生都進到很有名的樂團或成為獨奏家,使科爾本在西岸居領導地位。

Thayer音樂廳演出謝幕時,觀眾紛紛起立鼓掌。(記者凌美雪攝)

科爾本有2個音樂廳,這次演出的Thayer規模不大,但十分精巧,特別適合室內樂,在洛杉磯很具代表性。嚴俊傑說,近年科爾本正在興建一個全新的音樂廳,預計2027年啟用,約有1000人座,所以,相較於2500個座位的迪士尼音樂廳,規模上會是更適合演出古典音樂的場所

;而且,建築設計同樣是法蘭克‧蓋瑞,讓人十分期待。

對於這次可以校友的身分攜手NSO回到母校演出,嚴俊傑認為最重要就是帶來台灣的音樂,因為Thayer在西岸的重要地位,能在這裡看到台灣最好的樂團NSO、TBT原住民合唱團,以及旅美台灣作曲家陳可嘉與台灣前輩作曲家蕭泰然的作品,是一個非常好的交流。嚴俊傑說,希望這個關係可以透過交流更加密切,也讓世界更看見台灣。

《TAIPEI TIMES》 US lawmakers urge arms sales to Taiwan
NEWS link

By Fang Wei-li / Staff reporter, with CNA

US Republican and Democratic lawmakers have urged US President Donald Trump’s administration to continue with weapons sales to Taiwan after Trump on Friday said he has not made a decision on whether to move forward with an arms package for the nation.

請繼續往下閱讀...

Trump made the statement en route to Washington after a state visit to China.

He said he and Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) “talked a lot about Taiwan” during their meeting and confirmed Xi had brought up the weapons sale.

Taiwan has long enjoyed strong bipartisan support in the US Congress, with lawmakers consistently pressing the Trump administration to move forward with a US$14 billion arms sale to Taiwan, which was approved by the Congress in January, but has been delayed.

US Representative Michael McCaul was quoted by CBS News as saying that the US must “arm Taiwan so they can defend themselves for deterrence against Chairman Xi.”

During the summit, Xi was “very aggressive” regarding Taiwan and “most of what [Xi] talked about was Taiwan,” McCaul was cited as saying.

US Representative Gregory Meeks also stressed the importance of US support for Taiwan’s defenses.

Meeks was among those who had urged Trump ahead of the summit to approve the delayed package before meeting with Xi, “warning that delaying Taiwan arms sales could weaken deterrence of Chinese aggression in the Taiwan Strait,” CBS News reported.

“I think it is important for us to make sure that Taiwan does have what it needs to defend itself,” it reported Meeks as saying.

Xi has “leverage over the president,” but not “over the US Congress and the American people,” Meeks said, adding that the US Congress has already acted on the package and “the president is the one that’s holding it up.”

US Representative John Moolenaar also expressed his support in a social media post, saying: “The Chinese Communist Party has never governed Taiwan yet continues to threaten force.”

The US “will stand by its commitments, support Taiwan’s defense, and oppose unilateral attempts to change the status quo,” he added.

US senators Jeanne Shaheen, Chris Coons, Chris Murphy, Tim Kaine, Jeff Merkley, Cory Booker, Brian Schatz, Chris Van Hollen, Tammy Duckworth and Jacky Rosen in a joint statement after the Trump-Xi meeting said that they were “deeply disturbed by President Trump’s refusal to defend America’s support for Taiwan during this summit, including by consulting with President Xi regarding US obligations to help provide for Taiwan’s defense.”

“We call on the administration to formally notify the US$14 billion in US arms sales that Congress pre-approved in January 2026. As established by the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979,” they said, adding that the US Congress will continue to ensure that the US supports Taiwan, including by rejecting any attempt to alter the “status quo” by force or coercion.

US Representative Zachary Nunn said the US will “stand firm” if China continues to be “belligerent” on Taiwan, while US Representative Greg Stanton said that any move on Taiwan by Xi could trigger a global recession, adding the US “must support the people of Taiwan in their self defense.”

US senator John Curtis said the special defense budget bill that Taiwan recently passed is a crucial investment in deterrence and stability across the Taiwan Strait, and it demonstrates Taiwan’s commitment to its self-defense and readiness to procure defense systems from the US.

The US$14 billion arms package to Taiwan fulfills the US’ long-standing commitment to Taiwan and would help safeguard US national and economic security, he added.

US Representative Ro Khanna, Ranking Member of the US House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, told CBS News that he is “concerned about” Taiwan following Trump’s meeting with Xi.

“The Taiwan Relations Act from 1979 is clear that the United States will support Taiwan to make sure that China does not use military coercion. The reality is, as people know, that China is tightening the noose around Taiwan,” he said.

《TAIPEI TIMES》 Trump refuses to let Xi haggle over arms sales

NO RESPONSE: During the talks between the two leaders, ‘Trump did not allow Xi to negotiate or haggle with him over Taiwan arms sales,’ an official said

By Chung Li-hua / Staff reporter

請繼續往下閱讀...

US President Donald Trump has kept China out of decision about arms sales to Taiwan, a Taiwanese national security official said yesterday while highlighting steady US-Taiwan policy signals following Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平).

Trump on Friday wrapped up his state visit in China during which he met with Xi.

The official, who declined to be named, said that to understand the US policy stance on Taiwan following the Trump-Xi meeting and subsequent remarks by Trump, it is best viewed through a series of coordinated statements from the White House, the Department of State and Trump himself.

Taken together, the messages have remained broadly consistent, which are that there is “no change in US policy toward Taiwan, maintaining the status quo is a priority, and that arms sales are negotiated solely with Taipei,” they said.

Referring to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s remarks on Thursday that there has been no change in US policy toward Taiwan, the Taiwanese official said Rubio offered the most direct confirmation from the administration following the meeting.

The official said that the White House also amplified Rubio’s comments on social media, and Trump, in a separate Fox News interview, also said that “nothing has changed.”

With the president and secretary of state making similar statements within 24 hours, the message was unambiguous, the official said.

Trump in media interviews repeatedly referenced Xi raising the issue of Taiwanese independence, prompting some interpretations that he was drawing a red line on Taiwan in line with Beijing’s position, they said.

However, a closer reading of the full context, including Trump’s call for China to “cool down,” suggested that he was less focused on defining Taiwan’s status, and more concerned about avoiding any moves that could disrupt the “status quo”, they said.

Trump’s comments that he does not want to see Taiwan declare independence, or the US “travel 9,500 miles to fight a war,” reflected an effort to avoid being pulled into a conflict that would undermine stability and core US interests, rather than an attempt to define Taiwan’s political status on Beijing’s behalf, the official added.

On arms sales, the official said that when Trump was asked whether he would approve more than US$10 billion in deals, he responded that he “may do it, may not do it,” declining to reveal the key factors behind any decision. Addressing Rubio’s remarks about how arms sales were not a major focus of the meeting and that Trump made it clear that he offered Xi no response or commitments on the matter, in addition to Trump telling the media that he would have to talk to the person that’s “running Taiwan” before making his decision on the arms deals, the Taiwanese official said that in this context, the US response is more of a warning to Beijing not to disrupt the “status quo.”

The official said it has been made clear, including by Trump himself, that despite a range of requests from Xi, there was no response.

“Trump did not allow Xi to negotiate or haggle with him over Taiwan arms sales,” they said.

《TAIPEI TIMES》 Artillery live-fire drill planned on Sishu Beach
NEWS link

Tainan’s Sishu Beach (喜樹海灘) is to host its first large-scale artillery exercise, amid the rapid acceleration of the military’s combat training at so-called “red beaches” to enhance defense capabilities, a source said yesterday.

請繼續往下閱讀...

Sishu Beach, in Tainan’s South District (南區), is south of Anping Harbor (安平港), north of Kaohsiung, and is 5km away from the Tainan Air Force Base, making it a critical defensive zone.

The planned exercise is a milestone for defense policy, as it shows the military is accelerating its defense preparations and moving beyond smaller-scale exercises to focus on preventing enemy forces from landing, the source said.

Previously, military exercises near Taiwan’s “red beaches,” or beach fronts that are at high risk of amphibious assult by the People’s Liberation Army in the event of an invasion of Taiwan, were only small-arms exercises involving rifles or pistols, the source said.

The Eighth Army Corps and the Artillery Training Command held an explanatory meeting at the Sishu Regional Community Center for Tainan City Government representatives, regional borough wardens, Fishery Association members and Oyster Growing Association members, saying the military would enforce strict observation of security measures to ensure the disturbance to local activities is kept to a minimum.

The definition of “red beaches” is somewhat uncertain, with three separate versions provided by the Ministry of National Defense (MND), US think tanks and the MND’s own think tank — the Institute for National Defense and Security Research (INDSR).

The ministry said there are four likely beaches that could be targeted in the event of a Chinese invasion: Baodoucuo Beach (寶斗厝海灘), Haihu Beach (海湖海灘), Jianan Beach (甲南海灘) and Sishu Beach.

Ian Easton, an American security policy analyst, said in his book The Chinese Invasion Threat: Taiwan’s Defense and American Strategy in Asia that, based on local geography, there were 14 potential landing beaches: Jhongjiao Bay (中角灣) and Sialiao (下寮) in New Taipei City’s Jinshan District (金山); Feitsuei Bay (翡翠灣) in New Taipei City’s Wanli District (萬里); Fulong (福隆) in Gongliao Township (貢寮); Toucheng (頭城); Linkou (林口) in New Taipei City; Jhuangwei (壯圍), Lodong (羅東) and Yilan (宜蘭灘) in Yilan County; Budai (布袋) in Chiayi County; Linyuan (林園) and Jialutang (加祿堂) in Kaohsiung and Lujhu (蘆竹) in Taoyuan.

These 14 beaches have also been included in the Han Kuang exercises in the past few years.

The INDSR’s definition of “red beaches” incorporats all of these sites, as well as Beibin (北濱) and the Meilun River estuary (美崙溪口) in Hualien County, Jhihben (知本) in Taitung County, and beaches on the outlying islands of Penghu.

繼承者們1》 台灣進入房產繼承大潮 人均繼承42.89坪
NEWS link
〔記者徐義平/台北報導〕房產繼承大浪正朝台灣迎面而來,2025年全國繼承者們平均可接手房產面積約42.89坪,六都中又以台南市平均繼承房產面積最大、達53.09坪,而台北市則最小、約30.24坪。

信義房屋不動產企研室專案經理曾敬德分析,若以六都平均繼承房產面積來看,南部可能長輩傳承下來的以透天厝或三合院等類型,因此,造成統計上平均面積較大,而台北市老公寓屋齡普遍超過40年,很大可能是長輩住了一輩子的家,加上當時建物面積不會蓋的特別大,促使台北市繼承移轉平均面積要比中南部要小,但若從房價來看,台北市繼承房產價值則是絕對可觀。

請繼續往下閱讀...

進一步對比2016年全國、六都繼承者們平均繼承房產面積,10年來全國繼承者們平均面積多出約2.87坪,至於,六都中,除雙北市10年來平均繼承面積縮水外,其它四都則以台南市增加最多,10年增加11.66坪、增幅逾28%,第二名則是高雄市,10年來平均繼承面積增加5.17坪、增幅逾13%

根據內政部統計月報資料,去年六都繼承者們平均繼承房產面積,以台南市最多、達53.09坪,第二名則是台中市、約49.33坪,第三名則是桃園市、約45.38坪,第四名為高雄市、約43.65坪,反觀雙北市均不到35坪、又以台北市繼承面積最小、約30.24坪。

六都台南面積最大 北市最小

高力國際不動產業主代表服務部董事黃舒衛表示,目前全球正面臨戰後嬰兒潮在人口、財富大量累積後的轉手潮,加上過去因為家戶規模較大,購置住宅面積也較大,因此,根據內政部發布的全台平均繼承面積、2016年平均面積便站穩40坪。

相對來說,近幾年住宅買賣坪數因為家庭人口數逐漸變少,不生不婚、單身宅需求增多,再加上房價高漲、首購族在政策獎勵下大量進場,驅動建商推案往小坪數產品靠攏,2023年開始,住宅買賣平均坪數正式跌破30坪,出現繼承、買賣坪數走向分化的現象。

去年全國繼承移轉棟數高達7.83萬棟,創統計以來新高,馨傳不動產智庫執行長何世昌表示,國內建物繼承移轉棟數持續創新高,再加上贈與移轉棟數維持在高檔,兩項數據意味著「財富世襲」時代來臨。

MLB》寫台灣第1人紀錄!李灝宇卻僅1打席就被換掉 守備有精彩演出

李灝宇。(資料照,美聯社)

〔體育中心/綜合報導〕效力老虎的台灣怪力男李灝宇,今天對上藍鳥系列賽第2戰,擔任先發第3棒三壘手,成為台灣史上第一位在大聯盟扛先發第3棒的打者。不過最終李灝宇只打1打席後就被換下場,老虎終場在延長賽10局以1:2不敵藍鳥。

藍鳥今天啟用牛棚左投弗魯哈蒂(Mason Fluharty)擔任假先發,右打的李灝宇也被拉到先發第3棒。1局上藍鳥先攻,李灝宇在三壘生意興隆,先刺殺史普林格(George Springer)抓下1出局,接著1出局一壘有人面對小葛雷諾(Vladimir Guerrero Jr.)的強勁滾地球,李灝宇迅速處理後傳往二壘,並策動一次精彩雙殺。

請繼續往下閱讀...

1局下2出局後,李灝宇迎來扛下先發第3棒首次打擊機會,不過在2好2壞情況下放掉一顆紅中進壘的90.1英哩卡特球,遭到三振。而藍鳥在假先發的弗魯哈蒂投1.1局後就換投,由右投麥爾斯(Spencer Miles)接替登板,3局下老虎2出局滿壘大好機會,原本準備輪到李灝宇的棒次,此時老虎卻換上左打的沃克曼(Gage Workman)代打,最終沃克曼連揮3球遭到三振,老虎大中「滿壘計」。

李灝宇此役1打數0安打,賽後打擊率0.196、攻擊指數0.588。後續老虎在6局下靠著維爾林(Matt Vierling)陽春砲先馳得點,但7局下藍鳥皮南戈(Yohendrick Piñango)回敬陽春砲追平,雙方鏖戰至延長賽10局,藍鳥率先攻下超前分,老虎10局下反攻無力,在主場吞敗。

台中榮總婦產科醫師謝筱芸指出,許多人因白天喝水太少,導致晚上口渴又擔心夜尿,建議掌握補水時間差3原則,有助改善夜尿情況;情境照。(圖取自freepik)

〔健康頻道/綜合報導〕很多人擔心睡到一半頻頻起床上廁所,晚上即使口渴也不敢喝水。對此,台中榮總婦產科醫師謝筱芸指出,許多人因白天喝水太少,導致身體在晚上「補繳水費」。不過,正常來說,半夜起床排尿次數應是0次,建議掌握補水時間差3原則,有助改善晚上口渴又怕夜尿的情況發生,還能降低降低半夜跌倒風險與心血管負擔。

謝筱芸於臉書粉專「謝筱芸醫師的泌密診療室」發文與短影音表示,晚上起來上廁所1次或1次以上,在醫學上均定義為夜尿。門診不少患者表示,晚上常會口渴,也怕晚上起來上廁所。她指出,出現這種狀況,其實問題不是晚上喝太多,而是白天水喝太少,才會導致晚上一直覺得口渴想喝水。

請繼續往下閱讀...

「補水時間差」3步驟一次看

謝筱芸表示,當出現晚上想喝水的時候,建議可掌握以下3步驟,有助改善夜尿情況:

●白天平均喝:別等到渴了才喝。

●晚上9點補:如果白天喝不夠,在這個時間一次補300-500cc。

●睡前排乾淨:在睡前2、3小時把尿液排空,給膀胱一個清爽的空間。

夜尿增加跌倒風險、心血管負擔

為什麼要這麼努力改善夜尿情況?謝筱芸表示,這是因為醫學研究指出,改善夜尿能有效降低半夜跌倒與心血管負擔的風險。為了更安全的睡眠品質,建議不妨嘗試調整補水時間,也能讓一夜好眠。

孫安佐很壞都怪孫鵬狄鶯? 486先生:父母的愛不能沒底線
NEWS link

〔記者林南谷/台北報導〕藝人孫鵬、狄鶯獨子孫安佐(現改名孫健豪)涉嫌在北市北投一處河堤測試「自製火槍」,昨被警方拘提移送法辦。警訊中,孫安佐承認是利用網路上自學研發火槍,辯稱不知道是犯法。另與他同案被捕的經紀人、陳姓網紅「重讀」,則是將過錯推給孫安佐,全案現由士林地檢署偵辦中。

很多人會問,孫安佐為什麼會變成這樣?對此,團購電商名人「486先生」陳延昶在臉書發文表示,這件事不能只用一句「他很壞」或「他很怪」來解釋,「一個人會走到今天這種行為模式,通常不會是單一原因,它比較像是很多因素長期堆疊出來的結果,父母的管教、成長環境、個人性格、興趣方向、法律觀念、社群網路的流量刺激,全部混在一起,最後變成今天我們看到的樣子。」

請繼續往下閱讀...

486先生分析,孫安佐變成這樣第一個原因,是興趣從小沒有被正確引導,「小孩對軍事、機械、火焰、武器有興趣,不一定是壞事。很多工程師、科學家、軍事專家、消防專家,小時候也可能喜歡拆東西、研究機械、研究爆炸原理、研究火焰燃燒。」

他表示,問題不是興趣本身,而是大人有沒有在旁邊告訴他,什麼叫合法,什麼叫危險,什麼叫公共安全,什麼東西只能在實驗室做,什麼東西絕對不能拿到公共空間測試,如果一個小孩從小對危險器械有興趣,大人卻只是覺得「很酷」、「很有個性」、「很像天才」,那這個興趣就可能慢慢偏掉。486先生認為,真正的教育不是打壓興趣,而是把興趣導到正確軌道。

第二個原因,486先生分析是父母的愛如果沒有界線,最後可能會變成孩子的底氣,「很多父母疼孩子,這可以理解,尤其獨生子、明星家庭、經濟條件好,父母想給孩子最好的教育、最好的資源、最好的生活,這都不奇怪,但教育最重要的不是給孩子多少資源,而是讓孩子知道界線在哪裡。」

國民黨新北市長參選人李四川、台北市長蔣萬安等人昨天(16日)上「董事長開講」節目;李四川因為喊出「雙北共治」口號,被酸是蔣萬安的「細漢仔」,蔣萬安當眾澄清,大讚李四川對台北市的貢獻,反問大家「川伯像我的細漢嗎」?而蔣萬安挨批沒有重大建設成就,李四川也相挺強調,蔣萬安把輝達留在台北,「不算建設嗎」?

請繼續往下閱讀...

李四川說,他是離島的庄腳子弟,讀台北工專時父親就過世,必須要寒暑假半工半讀,他一向認為責任來時就要擔起,困難來時要面對,路難走還是要一步一步向前,他從基層工地出身,不是做辦公室吹冷氣出身,市長是要解決問題,要能改變觀念,讓市政和市民能往前走,「30年前蓋天橋和地下道,30年後拆天橋和地下道,人生歸零」,改變的是觀念,以前以車為本,現在以人為本。

當市長會讓新北市更安全,更進步,就像公館圓環改善工程,新北市民使用公館圓環的機率最高,拆掉圓環才能改善車禍事故率,工期兩年改為兩個月,民眾還是難以接受,不眠不休再將60天工期縮短成19天,真號正解決交通事,降低交通事故,下降51%。

他當過新北市和台北市的副市長,更知道如何結合淡水河「兩岸」的優勢,不只要讓雙北成為30分鐘的便利交通共同生活圈,還要結合雙北的AI科技與人力資源優勢,打造台灣的產業競爭優勢。

李四川說,他願意將自己的工程專業奉獻給新北市,把新北市打造成更好的城市,他會延續侯友宜的安居樂業,讓年輕人有希望的新北市,

蔣萬安說,35年味全龍和統一獅在台北市立體育場賽事下大雨,當時才12歲的他守在電視機前觀賽,35年前球迷要大巨蛋的吶喊聲,他當市長宣示要1年內讓大巨蛋啟用,在李四川協助下完成承諾。

蔣萬安說,感謝李四川全力協助他在啟用大巨蛋、輝達落腳台北市,輝達能留在台北市,李四川的貢獻和付出功不可沒,李四川說雙北共治,卻被別人說,「川伯是我的細漢仔」,他要問大家,「川伯像我的細漢仔嗎?」台下聽眾轟然大笑,蔣萬安承諾,台北和新北攜手共治,一起打拚,為所有市民朋友打造更好的環境。

〔記者林南谷/台北報導〕藝人孫鵬、狄鶯的兒子孫安佐14日在IG上傳自製「神級火焰槍」試槍畫面,北投分局16日將孫安佐及其經紀人網紅「重讀」陳昱中拘提到案,訊後移送士林地檢署複訊。檢方聲押孫安佐,陳昱中則3萬元交保,限制住居、出境及出海。

對於寶貝兒子孫安佐又因軍火愛好登上社會版面,孫鵬透過經紀人回應:「配合調查。」在孫安佐被拘提前一晚,狄鶯開直播幾杯黃湯下肚,似乎早有不祥預感,罕見在鏡頭前痛哭失聲,委屈吶喊:「我很內疚…安佐真的不是壞孩子,都我的錯,如果我不是狄鶯的話,大家會這樣攻擊安佐嗎?他真的是善良好孩子。」並一邊搖頭一邊強力護航,認為兒子根本沒害過人。

請繼續往下閱讀...

電視名嘴、資深媒體人王瑞德則在臉書發文表達個人看法,他說:「一味竉兒子,卻不知道導入正確方向,或許進去關久一點,反而可以救救孫安佐。」

而孫安佐經紀人陳昱中交保後受訪,表示自己沒有辦法百分之百的去控制孫安佐,關於火槍的研究這塊部分,已經告訴他不要發片,不要往這個方向發展,但他還是堅持要往這個研究去前進。陳昱中認為,孫安佐應該要成長,自己也無法繼續以經紀人身分陪伴他,最多只能跟孫安佐當朋友,因為「真的太麻煩了」。

美國總統川普在川習會落幕後表示,不想看到有人走向獨立,也不想看到「有人說要台獨,是因為有美國支持」。總統府發言人郭雅慧昨表示,持續貢獻區域和平與穩定,致力維護兩岸現狀,一直是賴清德總統向來的主張。

台大推「一日手術」…各醫院跟進 恐衝擊「住院理賠」保險模式

總統府十五日公告「醫療法」修正案,三班護病比宣告入法,醫學中心先行。為減輕護理人力壓力,國內醫學中心龍頭台大醫院首度規畫,原需住院二點五天微創手術,改為「一日手術」,其他醫學中心也規畫跟進。但新制勢必衝擊現行醫療險多採「住院理賠」的模式,金管會指出,擬推出「在宅醫療險」等產品,以因應三班護病比入法。

川普:對台軍售是好的談判籌碼

美國總統川普15日下午結束北京之行,他在返抵華府時稱,此次訪陸是巨大成功,堪稱歷史性時刻。川普受訪時還形容,美陸是「兩個偉大國家,我稱它為G2(兩國集團)」。福斯新聞則播出節目主持人拜爾(Bret Baier)對他的專訪,川普暢談台灣議題,稱不希望有人走向獨立,並要台灣與大陸雙方都冷靜一點。

府:賴總統致力維護兩岸現狀

針對美國總統川普不希望任何人走向台獨,以及對台軍售是「談判籌碼」的說法,總統府16日強調,致力維護兩岸現狀,一直是賴清德總統向來的主張。中華民國是主權獨立的民主國家,「這是不爭的事實」,北京無權對台灣有所主張。至於台美間的軍售,不僅明載於《台灣關係法》中,美國對台灣的安全承諾,更是對區域威脅的共同嚇阻。外界質疑川普的說法是挑戰「對台六項保證」,陸委會副主委沈有忠則認為,「這都是過多的超譯」。

網球》烏克蘭媽媽勇奪羅馬第3冠 斯維托麗娜力退年輕高芙

〔記者梁偉銘/綜合報導〕斯維托麗娜(Elina Svitolina)歷經3盤激戰,終以6:4、6:7(3:7)、6:2力退年輕9歲的美國好手高芙(Coco Gauff),烏克蘭媽媽老將贏得羅馬網賽女單第3冠,也讓她對接下來法國公開賽更有信心。

這項男女共站、WTA千分等級紅土大賽,已在義大利首都進入尾聲,也是5月24日開打的法網重要暖身,斯維托麗娜曾於2017年、2018年羅馬連莊,如今暌違8年再闖決賽,激戰2小時49分鐘擋住22歲後浪高芙反撲,不但把對戰改寫為4勝2負,今年更已3連勝。

請繼續往下閱讀...

「很難相信上次在這裡捧起這座獎盃,已經過去了8年。當然,我對這兩週的經歷感到非常、非常、非常高興。」鬥志頑強且後勁十足的斯維托麗娜,如願集滿職業生涯第20冠,賽後有感而發:「我跟教練說,如果退休前能達成這目標就太好了。他告訴我,我們今年就要實現!所以我真的很開心。」

31歲的斯維托麗娜寶刀未老,繼元月奧克蘭封后之後,羅馬笑擁本季第2冠,也是成為母親以來分量最重的金盃,並延續紅土決戰8勝0負完美戰績,讓即將轉戰巴黎羅蘭加洛斯的她,更加期待首獲大滿貫殊榮。反觀法網衛冕者高芙再度功虧一簣,連續第2年在此屈居亞軍,失望之情溢於言表。

網球》生涯金大師聽牌!球王辛納補賽勝出問鼎羅馬冠軍

辛納(右起)和梅德維夫。(路透社)

〔記者梁偉銘/綜合報導〕當今世界球王辛納(Jannik Sinner)隔日補賽強勢出擊,延續因雨暫停前決勝盤4:2領先,終以6:2、5:7、6:4力退俄國第7種子梅德維夫(Daniil Medvedev),地主頭號種子連2年勇闖羅馬網賽男單冠軍戰,離「職業生涯金大師(Career Golden Masters)」紀錄就剩一步之遙。

「這完全是截然不同的挑戰,也是艱苦的考驗。」這項男女共站、ATP千分等級紅土大師賽,正為5月底大滿貫重頭戲的法國公開賽暖身,週五4強雙雄陷入激戰,辛納因右大腿不適醫療暫停,甚至還嘔吐,不過隔天他再上陣找回最佳狀態,最後4局一路壓制前球王梅德維夫,僅花15分鎖定遲來的勝利。

請繼續往下閱讀...

「通常我晚上都能睡著,但這次卻很難。」賽後辛納如釋重負,直言先前第3盤眼看就要結束,卻因天候因素被迫順延,感覺非常奇怪也難以調適,24歲球王冷靜解釋:「你永遠不知道接下來會發生什麼,這就像比賽剛開始一樣,緊張感再次襲來。我很滿意自己處理這種情況的方式,很慶幸能重返決賽。」

辛納近半年來大師系列賽橫掃群雄,除了持續堆高史上最多33連勝,自去年11月巴黎、今年印地安泉、邁阿密、蒙地卡羅和馬德里,更已完成5連冠,若於獨缺的羅馬主場再搶1勝,還將跟上塞爾維亞老將喬科維奇(Novak Djokovic)腳步,成為集滿全部9項大師賽金盃的史上第二人,再添「生涯金大師」殊榮。

至於辛納週日壓軸對手則為挪威一哥魯德(Casper Ruud),過往對戰4勝0負、1盤未失穩居上風,包括去年羅馬8強挾6:0、6:1橫掃。

〔記者王憶紅/專題報導〕網通族群上週各擁題材、各自表現,其中,品牌廠普萊德(6263)在跨入量子、低軌衛星題材帶動,股價週漲幅達11.76%;神準(3558)在英特爾、低位階雙題材帶動,週漲幅逾8%;績優生智邦(2345)則在第二季營收季增雙位數帶動,週漲幅也有逾5%;另外,智易(3596)在第一季財報創歷史次高下,也有逾3%的表現。市場人士指出,網通廠近年多跨出純網通領域,涉足光通訊、低軌衛星、量子等領域,進而帶動股價表現,投資人需持續追蹤廠商跨領域後的表現。

普萊德受惠推出雲端化跨域網路管理平台、AI資料中心網路解決方案、邊緣AI智慧監控解決方案,結合PUF(物理不可複製功能)與後量子密碼(PQC)的高階工業資安產品線,以及關注低軌衛星等跨領域多元的通訊技術帶動,上週股價出現多根漲停。在短期漲幅已高下,上週五被列入處置股票,每5分鐘搓合一次,直到5月28日。

請繼續往下閱讀...

被視為英特爾概念股的神準,在英特爾與蘋果、SK海力士、馬斯克Terafab專案、輝達(NVIDIA)等合作利多頻傳,加上股價處在低位階,上週五逆勢攻上漲停121元。

智邦在思科財測激勵,且客戶對交換器、AI加速器需求強勁,以及伺服器、全光交換器(Optical switches)新產品出貨帶動,第2季營收可望季增15-20%。

智易第1季EPS達3.12元,創下同期新高、歷史次高,激勵股價穩步走高,而智易對未來營運表現維持審慎樂觀看法,將持續推動產品組合優化、提升營運效率。

CBS圓山飯店播報川習會被禁?德國記者查證:半夜吵到其他住客
NEWS link
多庫皮爾指控,他被圓山大飯店禁止「在飯店物業範圍內播報任何政治內容」。(圖擷自「CBS Evening News」YT)

更新時間 05-17 06:28

美國CBS新聞網主播多庫皮爾未取得中國簽證,改在台灣「隔空報導川習會」。不過他事後指控,圓山大飯店老闆對報導方向不滿,他被禁止「在飯店物業範圍內播報任何政治內容」。對此,德國駐台記者戴達衛向飯店求證,圓山飯店說明,是CBS團隊事前未告知飯店要在陽台直播連線,而且是凌晨,已影響其他住客安寧、引來抱怨,才不同意於飯店內拍攝。

請繼續往下閱讀...

多庫皮爾在台灣隔空報導川習會,他在直播連線的最後幾句話中,暗示台灣社會氣氛緊張、人心惶惶,甚至說有些人不敢接受採訪,連飯店都不准他們在飯店內「談論任何政治議題」。

戴達衛在臉書發文表示,他昨天致電圓山大飯店求證,飯店方說明,CBS團隊確實入住圓山,但主要問題並不是所謂「禁止談論政治」,而是他們事前並未告知飯店,打算在陽台進行直播連線。由於直播時間是在凌晨,音量已經影響到周遭住客休息,才引發住客向飯店反映。

戴達衛指出,飯店向他說明,圓山作為具有特殊歷史與官方色彩的飯店,若涉及高度敏感議題,確實會希望避免事件延燒到飯店本身。但核心問題仍然是媒體團隊應事先告知並協調,若有需要,飯店也可協助將相關申請送交主管機關交通部審核。飯店方強調,他們一向歡迎國際媒體朋友來台、來飯店進行報導。

戴達衛說,這段報導的結尾實在令人質疑,「這是在為整個故事的敘事效果鋪陳嗎?還是刻意營造一種『台灣是一個極度恐懼、人人不敢說話的社會』的印象」?他直言,「這樣的描述,跟我所認識的台灣,真的一點也不像」。
