Just before dawn, the Good Fellowship trawler casts its nets deep into the North Sea’s cold swirling waters, fishing for prawns off England’s northeast coast.

Britain finally departs the EU on Friday, but remains bound by the bloc’s Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) until the end of a transition period on Dec. 31.

The Good Fellowship’s captain, David Shiel, is cautiously hopeful that Brexit can help reverse decades of decline in the UK’s once-booming fishing industry that has been blamed partly on EU membership allowing foreign vessels to fish in British waters.

In pitch blackness, the small vessel embarks upon a day-long trip from the port town of North Shields, situated at the mouth of the River Tyne, to fish off the coast of England’s northeastern region, almost all of which voted for Brexit.

As dawn breaks, the three-man crew shoots heavy nets into the dark coastal waters 13km out to sea.

And as the nets scrape along the bottom of the seabed, scooping up prawns largely destined for dining tables and restaurants in Italy, France and Spain, Shiel says the time has come for the UK to take back control for its own fishing fleet.

“Our own fleet surely has to come first,” he says, after steering his ship out of North Shields, whose historic Fish Quay dating back to the 13th century is the base for 33 vessels and around 350 fishermen.

While fishing accounts for less than 0.1 percent of the UK’s economic output, it played a key role in the 2016 referendum in favor of exiting the EU.

The CFP permits EU vessels equal access to the fishing grounds of other member states, provided that they comply with quotas.

Shiel, 52, who lives in the northeast town of Seahouses, argues that this permits rival EU fishermen to catch an unfair amount of fish from UK waters.

Following Brexit, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative government is planning legislation to exclude foreign vessels. However, a Brussels-based EU diplomat said that finding an accord on fishing access to British waters was a prerequisite for striking an overall deal on Britain’s new trade relationship with the bloc.

Indeed, many UK trawlermen believe they could be sacrificed for Britain winning deals for its key service sectors, led by London’s financial industry.

“We’ve got to be looking at a bigger picture to get better sustainable fishing for our own country,” Shiel said.

“The trouble is once again we’ve been promised and promised and at the last minute they’ll sell you down the river, because they’ve got no spine — any of them,” he added in reference to Britain’s politicians.

EU boats take roughly six times more fish from UK waters than British boats do from EU waters.

At the same time, 90 percent of the fish caught off North Shields by British boats are prawns for export — with around two-thirds going to France, Spain and Italy — according to Andy Dixon, who manages Caley Fisheries’ North Shields division.

Britain meanwhile tends to import most of the fish that it consumes — including tuna, cod and haddock.

“There needs to be a fine balance made” by the UK government to deliver both Brexit and continued market access to Britain’s exported fish, Dixon says after hosting the port’s daily fish market auction.

Dixon says he hopes that Johnson can be trusted not to betray UK fishermen.

“We have to trust him, really. You just hope we don’t get sold down the river. It’s happened before,” he said. “It’s a big, big thing that fishing is on the agenda. We are an island. We are surrounded by sea. It’s all our water.”

Salvini’s League loses key regional vote

‘SARDINES’:The PD’s center-left candidate won in Emilia-Romagna, as voter turnout almost doubled, thanks to support from an anti-populist, youth-driven movement

Italy’s populist leader Matteo Salvini failed to win a key regional election and topple the nation’s fragile coalition government, official results showed yesterday.

The far-right League party had hoped to score a historic upset and force snap elections in the regional vote in Emilia-Romagna, but a high turnout favored the incumbent center-left candidate.

The Democratic Party’s (PD) Stefano Bonaccini won 51.36 percent of the vote against the anti-immigrant League candidate Lucia Borgonzoni’s 43.68 percent, according to results released by the Italian Ministry of the Interior.

The wealthy center-north region of Emilia-Romagna has been a stronghold of the Italian left for more than 70 years, but while left-wing values still hold sway in its cities, the right had rallied serious support in towns and the countryside.

Pre-election polls showed the League neck-and-neck with the PD, which governs Italy in coalition with the anti-establishment Five Star Movement (M5S).

Turnout in the key region was almost double at about 67 percent, compared with 37 percent in 2014, potentially thanks to the support of the anti-populist youth-driven Sardines movement.

About 3.5 million citizens were eligible to cast ballots to elect the region’s president.

In the smaller southern region of Calabria, the candidate of former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi’s Forza Italia, Jole Santelli, won handily with 55.71 percent of the vote.

For months, the League has been hoping for a repeat of its historic win in October in Umbria, which had been a left-wing fiefdom for 50 years.

League candidate Borgonzoni, 43, was overshadowed by Salvini, who held daily rallies and inundated social media with snaps of him sampling delicacies in the Parma ham and Parmesan cheese heartland.

Salvini infuriated the left on Saturday when he broke the pre-election silence — which under Italian law means candidates cannot campaign the day before a vote — by tweeting about the “eviction notice” he was set to deliver to the government.

“Arrogance never pays,” Bonaccini said later in his victory speech, scoffing at Salvini’s promises to “liberate” the region. The PD candidate had focused his campaign on his track record in the region, which boasts low jobless figures and is home to “Made in Italy” success stories, such as Ferrari and Lamborghini.

He also benefited from the Sardines movement, which was born in the region just a couple of months ago, but has fast become a national symbol of protest against the far right.

On Sunday, voter Andrea Setti, a 34-year old bank employee, said he felt it was even more important than usual for him to cast his ballot, as the region’s political “color,” or allegiance, was nowhere near as clear cut as it used to be.

“Now you cannot really know which way it’s going to go,” he said.

Fellow voter Lisa Zanarini, 31, said she hoped people would not be seduced by “easy words and easy promises.”

Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte had dismissed fears of a government crisis were Salvini’s party to win, saying the election concerned the region alone and had no bearing on national politics.

The coalition’s main stabilizing factor is a joint fear of snap elections, which would likely hand power to Salvini, whose party is well ahead in national polls.

Analysts had warned that a League victory could cause the M5S, which is riven by infighting and has been hemorrhaging members, to collapse.

Basketball legend Kobe Bryant’s death in a helicopter crash along with his teenage daughter yesterday sparked an outpouring of grief across the world.

In Taiwan, President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) tweeted that her “thoughts go out to Bryant’s family & the families of all those who lost loved ones today.”

“Kobe inspired a generation of young Taiwanese basketball players, & his legacy will live on through those who loved him,” she wrote.

The former Los Angeles Lakers shooting guard made his fifth visit to Taiwan in June 2016, when he was an instructor at a training camp for young basketball players.

Bryant, 41, was traveling on Sunday with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, and seven other passengers and crew when their helicopter slammed into a rugged hillside in thick fog in Calabasas, west of Los Angeles. There were no survivors.

A five-time NBA champion and two-time Olympic gold medalist, Bryant is widely regarded as one of the greatest basketball players in history.

He was an iconic figure who became one of the faces of his sport during a glittering two-decade career with the Lakers.

All-time basketball great Michael Jordan said Bryant was “like a little brother” to him.

“Words can’t describe the pain I’m feeling,” the former Chicago Bulls star said. “We used to talk often and I will miss those conversations very much.”

Dozens of firefighters and paramedics battled across hilly terrain to reach the flaming wreckage of the Sikorsky S-76, but found no survivors, officials said.

Fans and mourners descended on the area, but police warned people to stay away.

“As you can imagine, it’s a logistical nightmare in a sense, because the crash site itself is not easily accessible,” Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva told reporters.

The National Transportation Safety Board said an 18-strong team of investigators would be sent to California to probe the crash.

Tributes to Bryant flooded in from former US presidents, pop stars and athletes from different sports, a sign of how the man known as the “Black Mamba” had transcended basketball.

“Kobe was a legend on the court and just getting started in what would have been just as meaningful a second act,” former US president Barack Obama tweeted.

“Laker Nation, the game of basketball & our city, will never be the same without Kobe,” former Lakers star Magic Johnson tweeted.

US football star Tom Brady wrote simply: “We miss you already Kobe.”

At the Australian Open, Australian tennis player Nick Kyrgios wore a Lakers jersey before he took on Rafael Nadal.

At the Staples Center in Los Angeles, crowds of shocked fans gathered to pay tribute as the venue which witnessed many of Bryant’s career highlights hosted the music industry’s Grammy Awards.

Hundreds, many wearing purple and gold Lakers shirts, placed flowers and candles at a makeshift memorial for their hero.

“This dude is everything to me man. It makes no sense,” distraught Lakers fan Bobby Jimenez said.

The Taipei International Book Exhibition (TIBE) is to open on Tuesday next week at the Taipei World Trade Center, with hundreds of events scheduled over the six-day fair.

The theme of this year’s exhibition is “New Horizons of Reading” (閱讀新風景).

While in previous years the exhibition occupied Taipei World Trade Center Halls 1 and 3, this year it will be limited to Hall 1, Taipei Book Fair Foundation chairman Robert Lin (林訓民) said.

The venue reduction has been the “biggest challenge” the foundation has faced for this year’s show, the 28th, so it decided to use the second floor of Hall 1 as well, he said.

Maps released by the foundation show that the children’s section, which traditionally was housed in Hall 3, will be on the ground floor of Hall 1, along with sections for publishers, foreign pavilions, comics and non-governmental organizations.

The second floor is to house an arts and crafts market, an exhibition of original, award-winning Taiwanese books and more publishers, among other sections.

The winners of this year’s TIBE Book Prize and Golden Butterfly Award — which were announced earlier this month — will be included, the foundation said.

This year’s guest of honor nation is South Korea.

The theme of South Korea’s booth is to be “K-Style” — short for “Korean Style,” Seoul Book Institute president Joo Yeon-sun said.

Its design was inspired by apartment buildings in Seoul, he said.

A dozen South Korean authors are expected to take part in the exhibition, including Kim Young-ha, Cho Nam-joo, Kim Tak-hwan, Suzy Lee, Choi Eun-young, So Jae-won, Kang Gyung-hyo, Seolzzi, Park Joon and Son Won-pyeong, the foundation said.

One of the most highly anticipated appearances will be by Cho, who wrote the 2016 novel Kim Ji-young, Born 1982, which was adapted into a film last year.

Cho is scheduled to participate in a discussion with psychiatrist and writer Teng Hui-wen (鄧惠文) and Reveal Books deputy editor-in-chief Chiang Hui-hsien (蔣慧仙) on Friday next week at 4pm. The discussion is to be held at the Theme Square on the first floor.

Starting at 5:15pm, Cho is to be at the South Korean booth for a book signing and reading session.

“K-Style” is also the theme of this year’s TIBE International Publishing Forum on Wednesday.

Joo Yeon-sun and other publishing professionals are scheduled to talk about topics ranging from children’s books to queer literature in the South Korean publishing industry, the foundation said.

The forum is to be moderated by publisher Linden Lin (林載爵) and offer simultaneous interpretation in English, Mandarin and Korean, the foundation said.

Germany, which was last year’s guest of honor, is to have a pavilion presented by the Goethe Institute Taipei and the Frankfurter Book Fair, the foundation said.

Four German writers — Emma Braslavsky, Britta Jurgs, Jan Mohnhaupt and Ronen Steinke — are to attend, a Goethe Institute Taipei spokeswoman said.

While the German pavilion usually features different writers each year, Steinke, who took part in last year’s exhibition, reached out to the pavilion’s organizers to say he was interested in returning to Taipei, she said.

The pavilion is to mark the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 250th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven’s birth with books on those topics, she added.

The French pavilion, presented by the Bureau Francais de Taipei, the Bureau International de l’Edition Francaise and the Librairie Le Pigeonnier, has invited authors Emmanuel Lepage, Elsa Mroziewicz and Alain Lancelot to the exhibition, Bureau Francais de Taipei Cultural Counsellor David Kibler said.

A charismatic Pashtun rights leader who has repeatedly accused the powerful military of abuse has been arrested in Pakistan’s northwestern city of Peshawar, police said yesterday.

Manzoor Pashteen, chief of the Pashtun Protection Movement (PTM), appeared before a magistrate after being detained shortly after midnight, police official Shiraz Khan said.

Khan said Pashteen would be transferred to another district where he is wanted on charges including sedition, hate speech, incitement against the state and criminal conspiracy.

The former veterinary student and his PTM have rattled the military since 2018 with calls to end alleged abuses by security forces targeting ethnic Pashtuns in the restive tribal areas along the border with Afghanistan.

The area, once plagued by militancy and unrest, is where Washington believes Pakistan is providing safe haven to militant groups, including the Afghan Taliban and the Haqqani network.

The army has carried out many operations in the region, and security across Pakistan has dramatically improved in recent years.

However, the military maintains a heavy presence there and the PTM has tapped into festering anger over alleged abuses against Pashtuns — including enforced disappearances and targeted killings.

The movement remains peaceful, but has been notable for its direct verbal attacks on the armed forces in a country where such criticism is largely seen as a red line.

Islamabad and the military have repeatedly denied the claims and arrested PTM activists.

A far-reaching media blackout has kept news and images of peaceful PTM rallies off TV screens and front pages nationwide.

An opinion piece written by Pashteen in the New York Times last year was censored in Pakistan.

In December 2018 a military spokesman warned that the army would use force against PTM if they “cross the line.”

Mohsin Dawar, a PTM member of parliament from the North Waziristan tribal district, confirmed Pashteen’s arrest.

“He has been charged in many cases including sedition,” Dawar said, who along with another PTM lawmaker was detained by authorities for months last year.

On Twitter, Dawar demanded Pashteen’s immediate release and asked PTM supporters to “remain calm.”

China has world’s 2nd-largest arms industry: think tank

WEAPONS PRODUCTION:Combined sales by four major Chinese firms totaled US$54.1 billion in 2017, ranking them among the world’s top 20
Newly available data suggest that China is the world’s second-biggest arms producer, behind the US and ahead of Russia, a leading conflict and armaments think tank said yesterday.

A lack of transparency means the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute has excluded China from its annual global rankings of arms makers, but it said credible financial information had become available for four major companies.

The data, covering the period from 2015 to 2017, allowed it to compile what it called the most comprehensive picture of Chinese companies’ weapons production to date.

“With the increase of available data on these companies, it is now possible to develop reasonably reliable estimates of the scale of the Chinese arms industry,” the institute said.

The four companies had combined estimated arms sales of US$54.1 billion for 2017, it said, which would put them among the top 20 arms producers in the world.

“Three of the companies would be ranked in the top 10,” it said.

Total US arms sales in 2017 were US$226.6 billion, and in Russia, US$37.7 billion, according to the think tank’s Top 100 list for that year.

Aircraft and avionics group Aviation Industry Corp of China (AVIC, 中國航空工業) would rank as the sixth-largest arms producer, with estimated 2017 sales of US$20.1 billion, while land systems-focused China North Industries Group Corp (NORINCO, 中國北方工業集團) would place eighth, with an estimated US$17.2 billion in sales, the institute said.

The other two companies it looked at, China Electronics Technology Group Corp (CETC, 中國電子科技集團) and China South Industries Group Corp (CSGC, 中國兵器裝備集團), had estimated sales of US$12.2 billion and US$4.6 billion respectively, a spokesperson for the institute said.

China’s foreign and defense ministries did not respond to faxed requests for comment during a public holiday.

Calls to AVIC, NORINCO and CSGC went unanswered, and CETC declined to comment.

The Sweden-based think tank has said global expenditure in 2018 hit US$1.8 trillion, the highest level since the end of the Cold War, fueled by increased spending in the US and China.

Shrewsbury Town’s Jason Cummings scores a penalty against Liverpool in their FA Cup match at Montgomery Waters Meadow in Shrewsbury, England, on Sunday.Photo: Reuters
Liverpool on Sunday let a 2-0 lead slip as League One Shrewsbury Town earned a FA Cup fourth-round replay at Anfield thanks to a 2-2 draw, while Manchester United and Manchester City cruised into the fifth round.

Juergen Klopp showed his focus is very much on a first English Premier League title for 30 years as he made 11 changes to the side that won at Wolverhampton Wanderers on Thursday last week, and he confirmed that he would name an even younger side for the replay as it falls days into Liverpool’s two-week winter break from league action.

“I have said to the boys already, two weeks ago, that we will have a winter break, so it means we will not be there,” said Klopp, who plans to let under-23 coach Neil Critchley take charge of the game. “It will be the kids who play that game.”

Despite a calm finish from 18-year-old Curtis Jones to open the scoring on 15 minutes, Liverpool never settled as Shrewsbury missed a host of chances to level before halftime.

A freak own-goal from Donald Love then doubled the visitors’ lead a minute into the second half, but the Shrews did not give up on their chance to shock the European champions and were given a lifeline when substitute Jason Cummings converted a penalty.

Cummings then sent Montgomery Waters Meadow into raptures by slotting low under Adrian 15 minutes from time.

“It was a dream come true against the best team in the world. Going to Anfield is what it’s all about,” Cummings said.

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was badly in need of a convincing performance after 2-0 defeats to Liverpool and Burnley over the previous seven days and got a response with a 6-0 thrashing of third-tier Tranmere Rovers.

Many tipped the Red Devils to get bogged down on a sandy surface at Prenton Park, but a flying start thanks to a host of unlikely goalscorers ensured there was no chance of an upset.

“This game was one where everyone apart from Man United fans wanted us to lose,” Solskjaer said.”It’s been a bit of pressure on them, but they’ve enjoyed it. It was a difficult pitch, but we went about it the right way — just worked hard, played simple, but effective, and played the right way.”

Captain Harry Maguire led by example by striding forward to smash home his first goal for the club, before Diogo Dalot also grabbed his first United goal and Jesse Lingard curled home to make it three goals in a six-minute spell.

Phil Jones then nodded home his first United effort since 2014 and Anthony Martial’s deflected strike made it five before halftime.

Solskjaer could then afford the luxury of resting Martial, Maguire and Nemanja Matic for most of the second half ahead of tomorrow’s attempt to overturn a 3-1 first-leg deficit against Manchester City in their EFL Cup semi-final.

Tahith Chong was one of those introduced and he was brought down by Tranmere goalkeeper Scott Davies, allowing Mason Greenwood to score United’s sixth from the penalty spot.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola hopes more fans show up at the Etihad Stadium for tomorrow’s derby after questioning why there were 15,000 empty seats for his side’s 4-0 stroll past Fulham.

“Hopefully, more people can come than today, hopefully [they] can support us more,” Guardiola said. “I don’t know the reason why, but it was not full.”

Rescuers seek final two

Emergency teams yesterday drilled through the rubble from a collapsed building in Elazig, searching for the last two missing victims believed trapped since Friday night’s magnitude 6.8 earthquake. They are trying to reach a 75-year-old woman and another person, NTV television reported. The body of a third missing person was pulled out of the structure overnight, raising the death toll from the quake to 39, NTV said. More than 1,600 people were injured in the quake, which destroyed 76 buildings and damaged more than 1,000 others.

Anti-Semitic acts increase

Anti-Semitic acts increased last year by 27 percent, acts against Muslims inched higher while anti-Christian acts remained stable, but highest of all, Minister of the Interior Christophe Castaner said in a statement on Sunday, denouncing the situation as intolerable. Acts described as bearing a racist and xenophobic character, mostly threats, more than doubled between 2018 and last year, increasing from 496 to 1,142, the statement said. A total of 687 anti-Semitic acts were counted last year, compared with 541 the previous year, with 151 listed in most severe category, “actions,” meaning attacks on people or their possessions, theft or physical acts. “Expressions and acts of hate, whether they target origins or religious beliefs, whether they take the form of physical violence or verbal threats, are an intolerable attack on our common project, the foundations of our social ... pact,” the statement said.

Three die during protest

Three people died on Sunday in Banjul during a demonstration calling for President Adama Barrow to step down, a hospital director said. Police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of protesters who responded by throwing stones, reporters said. Tension has been building over Barrow’s decision to stay in office for five years — reversing a pledge to step down after three. Activists said police had arrested scores of people, including the leader of the Three Year Jotna (is up) Movement.

Saudi Arabia travel okayed

The government on Sunday said it would allow citizens to travel to Saudi Arabia for Islamic pilgrimages or business. There was no immediate reaction from Saudi Arabia to Minister of the Interior Aryeh Deri’s decree. “It wouldn’t actually be published today unless there is a kind of American eye on that, and a Saudi-Israeli understanding,” said Uzi Rabi, director of the Moshe Dayan Center for Middle Eastern and African studies at Tel Aviv University. The announcement came ahead of meetings in Washington between the US administration and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu surrounding the roll-out of US President Donald Trump’s regional peace plan.

Seven old bombs defused

Experts defused seven World War II bombs found on the future location of Tesla’s first European factory, just outside Berlin, police said on Sunday. The defusing operation was completed “without any problems,” a police spokesman said. The bombs in question were relatively small and dropped by the US during the war.

In Zimbabwe’s second-largest city, Bulawayo, Abraham Kavalanjila and his two sons have given up waiting for the water to come back on, and trekked out into the corn fields to draw on an open well.

They know it is risky drinking untreated water from a borehole used by so many other people.

“We have no option. This water is dangerous as you can see, just check,” Kavalanjila said, pointing to a pile of human waste nearby.

City authorities say they have had to shut down water supplies for 96 hours a week — more than half the time, often in two-day blocks — to cope with a sharp fall in reservoir levels caused by the nation’s worst drought in years.

The shortages have exacerbated an economic crisis marked by shortages of foreign exchange, fuel, medicines and power that has triggered protests and political unrest.

Kavalanjila said the cutoffs often go on for longer than scheduled in his Luveve Township.

He carries the well water home in buckets and containers, then his wife, Rumbidzai, boils it before using it for bathing, flushing toilets and, sometimes, cooking.

“At times you see there will be little organisms in the water and even when you are bathing you feel your body itching,” Rumbidzai said in the local Ndebele language, while her nine-year-old son had a bath to get ready for school.

“So if you boil the water it gets better,” he said.

Bulawayo city has decommissioned two of its dams after water fell below pumping levels, Bulawayo engineering services director Simelani Dube said.

The remaining four dams have an average capacity of 35 percent, and falling, he added.

“We are projecting that in the next three to four weeks we might lose the third dam. It’s currently sitting above 10 percent in terms of capacity,” he said.

Authorities say the long-term answer is for Bulawayo to build a new dam 100km away to draw water direct from the Zambezi River.

However, the project, first broached in 1912 by white colonists and finally started in 2004, is still is only a third complete.

Cassian Mugomezi, a sprightly 84-year-old pensioner who has lived in Luveve for more than five decades, said the water cuts were some of the worst he could remember.

“If it does not rain this year, I don’t know what we are going to do,” he said.

Like Kavalanjila, he has had to rely on open wells and other privately run projects.

A nearby church pumps out clean water through its own borehole.

Today, however, it is shut down in one of the city’s regular power cuts that can last up for 18 hours.

It is the annual event that has accomplished chefs quaking in their toques: The release yesterday of the Michelin restaurant guide for France, revealing the winners and losers of its coveted ratings stars.

This year’s edition of the so-called gastronomy “bible” caused a stir even before its official release, when it was revealed Michelin has stripped renowned chef Paul Bocuse’s flagship restaurant of one of its three stars.

The red guide, which can make or break culinary reputations, angered many in the industry by downgrading the iconic Auberge du Pont de Collonges — the oldest three-starred restaurant in the world created by Bocuse, nicknamed the “pope” of French cuisine.

He died in 2018.

‘NOT INHERITED’

However, Michelin Guide international director Gwendal Poullennec defended the move by insisting stars are not “inherited,” and “must be earned every year.”

“We obviously understand the emotion that the loss of a star can provoke, but there is no exceptional treatment,” he said.

“All establishments are evaluated anonymously by our inspectors every year... whether you are an iconic chef or a young chef who takes the risk of being plunged into debt by opening a restaurant,” he said.

Poullennec said no other three-starred restaurants ran the risk of being downgraded in this year’s guide.

According to Michelin, restaurants are selected on four criteria: the quality of the ingredients used, mastery of flavor and cooking techniques, the personality of the chef reflected in their cuisine, and value for money and consistency between visits.

One star denotes “high quality cooking,” two stars “excellent cooking” and three stars “exceptional cuisine.”

Of 30,000 restaurants listed worldwide, only about 130 have attained the highest distinction.

Critics say the process has rendered Michelin stars untenable, as more and more diners balk at spending a fortune on a meal.

STRESSFUL

A handful of French restaurateurs have in recent years relinquished their prized three-star status, because of the stress of being judged by Michelin inspectors.

The 2003 suicide of three-star chef Bernard Loiseau was linked, among other reasons, to speculation that his restaurant was about to lose its three-star status.

Last year, Michelin downgraded three three-starred restaurants: the Auberge de L’Ill in Alsace, which held the highest accolade for half a century; Pascal Barbot’s Parisian restaurant l’Astrance; and Marc Veyrat’s Alpine restaurant the Maison des Bois, which was awarded its third star just a year earlier.

Veyrat sued the guide for suggesting — wrongly, he insisted — that he had used cheddar cheese in a souffle.

His lawsuit was rejected.

The guide was born in a very different guise, when brothers Andre and Edouard Michelin, founders of the eponymous tire company, brought out a travel guide in 1900 to encourage motorists to take to the road and so boost business.

There were fewer than 3,000 vehicles in France at the time.

Initially free, the red guidebook included maps, a how-to on changing tires, and lists of gas stations, mechanics, hotels and eateries along the route.

The first run of 35,000 copies was such a success that guides for Belgium, Germany, Portugal and Spain followed.

The three-star ranking for restaurants was introduced in 1931.

In 2005, the Michelin Guide branched out of Europe with a New York guide, followed in 2007 by editions for San Francisco, then Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

Cold front’s arrival brings plummeting temperatures, rain

A strong cold front will cause temperatures to plummet over the next two days, with snow possible in mountainous areas, the Central Weather Bureau said yesterday.

Intermittent showers throughout northern and eastern Taiwan are expected, while cloudy skies and rain are forecast in central and southern parts of the country, the bureau said.

Daytime highs in low-lying areas are forecast to range from 15?C to 18?C in northern Taiwan and 13?C to 20?C in other parts of the nation, the bureau said.

The mercury is likely to fall to 13?C to 15?C at night in the western half of Taiwan and 17?C to 18?C in Hualien and Taitung counties, it added.

Foggy conditions are expected in areas near Matsu, with high waves and strong winds in areas north of Tainan, eastern Taiwan and Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu, it said.

There is also a possibility of high waves along the northeastern coast near Keelung, it said, as it reminded those at sea to remain vigilant at all times.

There is also a chance of snow in mountainous areas at altitudes of 3,000m and above, the bureau said.

Olympic qualifying, Fed Cup relocated due to coronavirus

Olympic women’s soccer qualifiers and a Fed Cup tennis event have been shifted out of China due to growing concerns over the 2019 novel coronavirus, while an indoor athletics event has been scrapped, officials said on Sunday.

The soccer tournament had already been moved from Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak, to Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, but is now to be held in Sydney, the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) said.

“The safety of all players, officials and fans is of paramount importance to Football Federation Australia and the Asian Football Confederation, and we are confident we will host a successful tournament here in Sydney,” Football Federation Australia chairman Chris Nikou said in a statement.

The Chinese Football Association (CFA) took the decision to relocate the Olympic qualifiers — which involve Taiwan, China, Australia and Thailand — after cases of the virus came to light in Jiangsu Province, Xinhua news agency reported.

No date has been given for the rearranged tournament, which was originally scheduled to start on Monday next week.

Separately, the International Tennis Federation said that next week’s Fed Cup Asia/Oceania Group I event has been moved from Dongguan, China, to Kazakhstan because of increasing travel restrictions.

“The decision to move the event to a different venue was taken due to increasing travel restrictions in China at the present time and followed consultation with independent security advisers,” the federation said.

The team event — involving Taiwan, China, India, South Korea and Uzbekistan — is to be held in the Kazakh capital on the originally scheduled dates, Tuesday to Saturday next week.

England yesterday needed eight more wickets to claim an emphatic series victory as South Africa lost both openers in the morning session at the start of their bid for a two-day vigil at the crease to save the fourth Test at the Wanderers.

South Africa were 90-2 at lunch on the fourth day, still needing 376 to claim an improbable victory and draw the series.

Rassie van der Dussen was not out after a brisk 39 off 45 balls, with captain Faf du Plessis having just arrived at the crease.

England had two days to bowl the hosts out and took an hour before claiming the wicket of Pieter Malan, who scored 22 in a 38-run opening partnership with Dean Elgar.

Malan chased after a wide ball from Chris Woakes and got a healthy edge straight after the drinks break to be was caught by Ben Stokes in the slips.

Three balls later, Woakes trapped Van der Dussen leg before wicket.

The South Africa batsman almost ran out of time to review, but then won a reprieve as the ball was shown to be missing the wickets and the umpire’s decision was overturned.

England captain Joe Root used six bowlers in the first session in a bid to keep the batsmen from embedding themselves, with the wicket not proving as variable as expected.

Root conceded 22 in two overs after bringing himself on, allowing Elgar and Van der Dussen to post a 50-run partnership, but then Elgar (24) fended off a rising ball from Stokes and succeeded only in playing it back to the bowler.

ZIMBABWE V SRI LANKA

AFP, HARARE

Brendan Taylor and Kevin Kasuza yesterday combined to give Zimbabwe a solid start on the first day of the second Test against Sri Lanka in Harare, taking the hosts to 96-2 at lunch.

After winning the toss and choosing to bat, Zimbabwe lost Prince Masvaure and Craig Ervine cheaply, before Taylor joined opener Kasuza in a third-wicket partnership of 47.

Taylor was the dominant partner thrashing 41 from just 35 balls, including six fours and one six over long-off from left-arm spinner Lasith Embuldeniya.

Kasuza, who was “substituted” in the second innings last week after being hit on the head while fielding at short-leg, was more circumspect, batting through the morning to reach 33 not out from 90 balls.

Sri Lanka began the day well with Lahiru Kumara finding the edge of Masvaure’s bat for 9, before Craig Irvine nudged Dhananjaya de Silva to short-leg where Oshada Fernando snapped up a sharp catch.

Several mask manufacturers cut short their holiday and on Sunday began working to meet surging demand as fears over a fast-spreading new virus escalate, a Ministry of Economic Affairs official said yesterday.

The ministry has asked logistics service providers to return to work and facilitate mask deliveries to retailers, Executive Yuan spokeswoman Kolas Yotaka said, adding that people do not have to stockpile masks as there is enough on the market to meet demand.

Local manufacturers can produce 1.88 million masks per day, the ministry said, adding that they could increase production to 2.44 million per day, or up to 70 million per month.

To ensure there is enough supply amid fears that the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) could spread domestically, the Customs Administration on Friday last week banned exports of all masks made of woven materials until Feb. 23.

Asked whether the export ban would continue, the ministry official said the ministry would hold a meeting after the holiday, which ends tomorrow.

As there is no sign that the outbreak will ease any time soon, the Executive Yuan is likely to maintain the ban in the short term, the official added.

The ban has come under intense scrutiny from politicians and commentators alike.

Former president Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) said the government should not be so rigid in regulating mask exports, as the nation has sufficient inventory to meet demand.

“All of us should know how to take better care of our health as the Wuhan pneumonia outbreak is getting worse. Like a war, we should not underestimate the effects of the disease and should be prepared to defend against it. This should be our attitude and our social responsibility,” he said.

“The nation has sufficient inventory [of masks] to meet the demand and [the government] should take this into consideration. The policy does not have to be so rigid,” he said.

Political commentator Joyce Huang (黃智賢) also criticized the ban, saying ministry data showed that local manufacturers produce about 1.88 million masks per day and can increase production to 2.44 million, while the nation needs only 1.3 million masks per day.

On average, the demand for masks increased to about 1.54 million daily during the SARS outbreak in 2003, she said.

The Democratic Progressive Party government should not impose such an unconscionable ban, “no matter how much it hates China,” Huang said.

While some critics said the ban is inhumane, sports commentator Max Shih (石明謹), who is also a police officer, said that it is the critics who are inhumane for making comments without realizing that the nation is also dealing with a tight supply.

“Personally, I would not stop people doing good deeds to others. If Huang and other critics are willing to personally go to Wuhan and distribute masks to people, I am happy to raise funds and buy 10,000 masks for them,” Shih said.

Rutte apologizes for persecution of WWII Jews

‘TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE’:Government institutions failed to act as guardians of justice and security, the Dutch prime minister said at a Holocaust memorial

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on Sunday made the Netherlands’ first official apology for the wartime persecution of Jews.

“Now the last survivors are still with us, I apologize today in the name of the government for what the authorities did at that time,” Rutte said.

He was giving an address in Amsterdam in memory of victims of the Holocaust, on the eve of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz.

Only 38,000 of the 140,000 Jews who lived in the Netherlands survived World War II, but no government apology had been offered for the role the authorities played.

The question of an apology was raised in 2012, when Rutte was also prime minister.

He said then that not enough information was available about government action during the war and there was “not broad enough support” for an official apology.

In 1995, Queen Beatrix said in a speech to the Israeli parliament that the Dutch had done enough to help their Jewish compatriots during the war.

In 2000, then-prime minister Wim Kok apologized for the “icy welcome” Nazi camp survivors received on their return to the Netherlands, which the Nazis occupied from 1940 to 1945.

On Sunday, Rutte went further, saying: “Our government institutions did not act as guardians of justice and security. Too many civil servants carried out the orders of the occupiers.”

“The bitter consequences of the drawing up of registers [of Jews] and of the expulsions have not been adequately recognized, nor recognized in time,” he added.

“On the whole, it was too little, too late. Too little protection. Too little help. Too little recognition,” he said.

“Seventy-five years after Auschwitz, anti-Semitism is still amongst us. That’s exactly why we fully recognize what happened and say it out loud,” Rutte said.

A number of Holocaust survivors were present at the ceremony to hear Rutte’s apology.

“I lost everything during the war,” Zoni Weisz told Dutch broadcaster NOS.

Weisz, who was a child during the war, lost his parents, brother and sisters, all of whom perished in the Nazi death camps.

“They cannot have died in vain,” the 82-year-old said. “In this respect, it is important that apologies be made. And for myself, I accepted them.

“A pity we had to wait 75 years,” he added.

Holocaust survivors yesterday gathered in Auschwitz to mark 75 years since Soviet troops liberated the camp, while world leaders held a somber remembrance ceremony in Jerusalem on Thursday last week.

More than 1.1 million people, mainly Jews, were killed at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Brexit could affect Security Council

GROWING DIVIDE?Diplomats wonder whether London will continue to side with Paris and Berlin on issues such as Iran and North Korea, or align more with Washington
In a recent UN Security Council vote on extending cross-border aid to Syria, Britain aligned with the US and abstained in a rare split with its European partners that could herald others to come after Brexit.

Some diplomats played down the Jan. 10 vote by pointing out that while there can be coordination in such negotiations, the vote ultimately remains above all a national political decision.

However, others drew clear conclusions on the unusual position adopted by London during the vote on Syria, which was coauthored by Germany and Belgium and backed by France and Estonia.

“The United Kingdom is gaining independence,” a UN official speaking on condition of anonymity said. “In negotiations, this may not change too much. But when it comes to votes, whether or not to use a veto, it will weigh.”

As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, London wields veto power equal to Paris, Washington, Moscow and Beijing.

With Britain’s exit from the EU on Friday, “the United Kingdom will no longer be bound by European positions,” the official said. “With the United States, the United Kingdom risks playing the same role as China, which often acts in support of Russia.”

The rapprochement between US President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is also likely come into play, several diplomats at the UN said.

What is certain is that Brexit will see Britain leave all European coordination meetings which are held regularly in New York.

Article 34 of the Treaty on European Union provides that its members in the Security Council “shall consult together” and “defend” the interests of the bloc.

Instructions are still awaited from Brussels on the procedures to be followed from Saturday.

However, European members of the council expect London to continue “genuine cooperation” with them during the transition period, and they would reciprocate.

For common positions, this would likely be on a “case by case” basis, according to several diplomats who said they hope Britain retains a “willingness to continue to work together” with the EU on concerns such as Iran or North Korea.

So far, Paris, Berlin and London have maintained a united front against the US decision to withdraw from the 2015 Iranian nuclear agreement.

In recent months, the three have also been in lockstep on North Korea, calling for Security Council meetings after each ballistic missile test by Pyongyang and jointly demanding the maintenance of international sanctions.

Faced with an often unpredictable US, London and Paris could present a united European front in three-way negotiations, but in future, France could find itself in a minority vis-a-vis its two partners.

Through the rotation of council’s non-permanent members, France could also find itself as the only EU member among the 15 participants in 2022 if Albania succeeds Estonia and Ireland is not elected in June next year.

Will London move closer to the CANZ group (Canada, Australian and New Zealand), all members of the Commonwealth? Or go it alone like Russia, China and Japan do?

In this case, Britain “risks being pulled into the American orbit,” the UN official believes.

Among the immediate consequences of Brexit, London will have to strengthen its diplomatic mission in New York since it will no longer be represented in multiple UN meetings by the European mission.

Struggling Napoli shock champions

CAPITAL STALEMATE:SS Lazio failed to take second place from Inter, who were held by Cagliari, after city rivals AS Roma ended their 11-match winning streak

Piotr Zielinski and Lorenzo Insigne on Sunday scored in the second half as struggling SSC Napoli shocked champions Juventus 2-1 to spoil coach Maurizio Sarri’s return to the Stadio San Paolo.

Sarri had not been back to Naples since being sacked in May 2018 after three successful campaigns, and before moving to Chelsea.

This season he has taken over eight-time reigning champions Juventus, a move seen as a betrayal by his former team, the two-time Serie A runners-up.

Juve missed the chance to open up a six-point lead on Inter at the top of the table after Antonio Conte’s side were earlier held 1-1 by Cagliari, their third consecutive draw.

Inter are three points behind Juve with SS Lazio a further two points adrift in third after city rivals AS Roma ended Simone Inzaghi’s side’s 11-match winning streak with a 1-1 draw.

“It is pleasant and exciting to go back,” Sarri said, despite the whistles and insulting banners of his former fans with their criticism of his “under-par, mentally bland” team.

“We lost a match against opponents who had done the minimum to win,” he said. “We were passive throughout the game, always halfway between pressure and waiting, we made mistakes.”

Zielinski broke the deadlock after 63 minutes finishing off a rebound after Insigne was denied by Juve goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.

Insigne volleyed in a second after 86 minutes to an explosion of joy in the crowd.

Cristiano Ronaldo pulled a goal back as the game headed into stoppage-time for his 13th goal in nine consecutive games in all competitions.

The visitors pushed for the equalizer, but Alex Meret smothered Gonzalo Higuain’s goal-bound effort as Juve crashed to just their second defeat of the season.

Napoli move up to 10th place, 12 points off the UEFA Champions League places after ending a run of three consecutive defeats.

“It’s a victory for the whole of Naples,” Insigne said after his team’s first home win in the league since Oct. 19 last year.

At the San Siro in Milan, Radja Nainggolan claimed the equalizer for Cagliari against his parent club.

Tensions reached boiling point as Inter’s goalscorer Lautaro Martinez was sent off in stoppage-time for arguing with the referee.

The Argentine reacted furiously, shouting and repeatedly punching the plexiglass at the side of the pitch, as he was led away by his teammates.

Martinez’s frustration mirrored that of his team, who have now been held to three consecutive 1-1 draws and have taken 11 points from their past seven league games.

Inter made a promising start with Ashley Young having an immediate impact on his debut after arriving from Manchester United, providing the cross which allowed Martinez to head in after half an hour, but the hosts failed to build on the momentum and the Sardinians stayed in the match until Nainggolan’s deflected long-range equalizer on 78 minutes.

Tensions were already high when Martinez went down in a challenge and earned a yellow card for a comment to the referee, promptly earning a straight red for then shouting at the official.

The match ended in chaos with Conte arguing with match officials, before storming off.

“The draw certainly wasn’t down to the referee, we only complained because he didn’t blow for fouls on our forwards,” Inter captain Samir Handanovic said. “Something is definitely missing from the team because we keep conceding second-half goals and don’t kill games off when we have the chance.”

Democrats renew demand Bolton testify

BOMBSHELL EXCERPT:John Bolton has written that Trump told him he wanted to withhold security aid from Ukraine until it helped him with politically charged probes
The stakes over witness testimony at US President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial are rising now that a draft of a book by US former national security adviser John Bolton appears to undercut a key defense argument.

Bolton writes in the forthcoming book that Trump told him that he wanted to withhold hundreds of millions of dollars in security aid from Ukraine until it helped him with politically charged investigations, including into a potential Democratic rival, former US vice president Joe Biden.

Trump’s legal team has repeatedly insisted that the president never tied the suspension of military assistance to the country to investigations that he wanted into Biden and his son.

The account immediately gave Democrats new fuel in their pursuit of sworn testimony from Bolton and other witnesses, a question expected to be taken up this week by the Republican-led Senate.

The trial resumed yesterday afternoon with arguments from Trump’s defense team.

Bolton’s account was first reported by the New York Times and confirmed to The Associated Press by a person familiar with the manuscript on the condition of anonymity, The Room Where It Happened; A White House Memoir, ahead of its release on March 17.

When the Times report went online on Sunday night, the seven US House of Representatives Democratic managers immediately called on all senators to insist that Bolton be called as a witness and provide his notes and other relevant documents.

US Senator Chuck Schumer, the Senate’s top Democrat, issued the same call.

Trump denied the claims in a series of tweets early yesterday.

“I NEVER told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens,” Trump said. “In fact, he never complained about this at the time of his very public termination. If John Bolton said this, it was only to sell a book.”

Trump said people could look at transcripts of his telephone call, and statements by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelinskiy that there was no pressure for such investigations to get the aid.

Bolton, who acrimoniously left the White House a day before Trump ultimately released the Ukraine aid on Sept. 11 last year, has already told lawmakers that he is willing to testify, despite the president’s order barring aides from cooperating in the probe.

“Americans know that a fair trial must include both the documents and witnesses blocked by the president — that starts with Mr Bolton,” the impeachment managers said in a statement.

First, though, Trump’s legal team will begin laying out its case in depth, turning to several high-profile attorneys to argue against impeachment.

Trump faces two articles of impeachment. One accuses him of abusing his power by asking Ukraine to investigate Biden at the same time that his administration withheld hundreds of millions of dollars from the country. The other alleges that Trump obstructed the US Congress by directing aides to not cooperate with the impeachment inquiry.

Once Trump’s team concludes, senators will have 16 hours to ask questions of both the House impeachment prosecutors and the president’s legal team. Their questions must be in writing, and US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts, who has been presiding over the trial, is to read them aloud.

Then the Senate is to take up the question of whether to consider new witnesses and evidence — a question that could be more politically complicated with the account in Bolton’s book.

‘Lunar New Year holiday syndrome’ a concern: medics

INQUISITIVE RELATIVES:Try to reduce awkward encounters by planning ahead, or by avoiding home visits if all else fails, two physicians advise
Prolonged questioning by relatives can lead to “Lunar New Year holiday syndrome,” causing depression, panic attacks and sleeplessness, two experts said.

However, symptoms of the syndrome can also appear before and after the Lunar New Year holiday, such as physical pains from pre-holiday housecleaning bouts, said Chang Tzyh-chyang (張自強), director of Bali Psychiatric Center’s occupational therapy department.

After the holiday, some people might have trouble focusing on their jobs and at school, experience a lack of energy or motivation and report headaches, stomachaches and other physical ailments, Chang said.

These symptoms usually gradually ease as people resume their normal schedules, but if they persist to where they are severely affecting your life or interactions with others, then medical advice should sought, he said.

If you are worried about family members asking too many personal questions, try to reduce potential awkwardness by letting your families know ahead of time about your relationship and job status, he said.

If that is unlikely to stave off questions, then postponing trips home or traveling abroad could be good options, Chang added.

Hou Te-bin (侯德斌), a psychiatrist at Far Eastern Memorial Hospital, said people should try to keep a normal schedule, eat a balanced diet and exercise during the holiday if they have had trouble readjusting after the holidays.

To avoid conflicts during the holiday, they should learn to communicate with their family members on a regular basis, Hou said.

“If people really cannot communicate with certain family members or have different values, they should think ahead about strategies to cope with the situation or try to avoid awkward encounters,” he said.

title: Three rockets land on US embassy in Iraqi capital

Three rockets slammed into the US embassy in Iraq’s capital on Sunday in the first direct hit reported after months of close calls, as thousands of protesters kept up anti-government sit-ins across the country.

The attack marked a dangerous escalation in the spree of rocket attacks in recent months that have targeted the embassy or Iraqi military bases where US troops are deployed.

None of the attacks has been claimed, but Washington has repeatedly blamed Iran-backed military factions in Iraq.

One of Sunday’s rockets hit an embassy cafeteria at dinner time, while two others landed nearby, a security source said.

A senior Iraqi official said at least one person was wounded, but it was not immediately clear how serious the injuries were and whether the person was a US national or an Iraqi staff member.

The US embassy did not immediately respond to requests for comment, but the US Department of State called on Iraq to “fulfil its obligations to protect our diplomatic facilities.”

The attack took place earlier in the day than usual, with reporters hearing the booms on the western bank of the Tigris River at precisely 7:30pm.

Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi and Speaker of Parliament Mohammed Halbusi condemned the incident, saying it risked dragging their homeland into war.

Meanwhile, the government’s efforts to crush a months-long anti-government movement continued on Sunday, with security forces using live rounds and tear gas to try to flush protesters out of squares and streets they had occupied for months.

One protester was shot dead in Baghdad and another in the flashpoint southern city of Nasiriyah, medical sources said, and dozens more were wounded across the country.

In the capital, riot police have tried to clear streets around the main protest camp of Tahrir Square, but have yet to enter the symbolic area, where many protesters stood their ground even after tents there were dismantled.

Despite the renewed violence, thousands of students flooded the streets of Baghdad and across the south in a bid to keep national attention focused on their demands.

“Only for you, Iraq!” read a sign held by a young protester in the shrine city of Karbala, hinting at the movement’s insistence on not being affiliated with any political party or outside backer.

Bayer 04 Leverkusen on Sunday cruised past bottom-of-the-table Fortuna Duesseldorf 3-0 to keep themselves in a tight Bundesliga title race.

A first-half header from Kai Havertz, followed by a second-half goal from captain Lars Bender and a penalty from Lucas Alario ensured the win and fifth place, six points behind league leaders RB Leipzig.

The visitors remained rooted to the foot of the table.

Havertz was the hosts’ most dangerous man and he headed a Karim Bellarabi cross beyond the grasp of Florian Kastenmeier to give the hosts the lead in the 40th minute.

Captain Lars Bender doubled their lead with 11 minutes remaining, tapping home Kerem Demirbay’s looping corner.

Lucas Alario made it 3-0 from the penalty spot in the final minutes, sending Kastenmeier the wrong way after Nadiem Amiri was brought down in the area.

“We played well and had good chances. We’re satisfied with the win,” Havertz said. “I always feel good when I score a goal and I feel good when I play a good game.”

Earlier, Werder Bremen sank further into relegation trouble after slumping to a 3-0 home defeat to Europe-chasing TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.

A Davy Klaassen own-goal in the 65th minute was followed up by strikes from Christoph Baumgartner and Sargis Adamyan for the away side to subject Bremen to their fifth defeat in six matches.

The loss leaves the hosts in the Bundesliga’s relegation playoff place on 17 points, one behind FSV Mainz 05 in 16th place.

“We played a really good away game today, the boys defended with discipline,” Hoffenheim manager Alfred Schreuder said. “In the end, we deserved to win — this is a very important victory for us.”

Hoffenheim — who are up to seventh, two points away from the UEFA Europa League spots — were initially kept at bay by a Bremen side determined to keep a clean sheet for the second time this season.

Bremen managed to stifle Hoffenheim until Stefan Posch got his head to the ball at a corner, with Klaassen’s attempted clearance landing in his own net.

It was a demoralizing goal to concede for Bremen, who went two down 14 minutes later when Baumgartner’s superb back-heel floated over the head of goalkeeper Jiri Pavlenka.

A third followed just four minutes later, Andrej Kramaric finding Adamyan in the penalty area.

The Armenian’s deflected shot gave Pavlenka no chance and sealed Hoffenheim’s third win in four matches.

The edgy, avant-pop album that siblings Billie Eilish and Finneas created in a small bedroom made a big splash at the Grammy Awards, winning 11 honors for the musical family.

When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? — created in the musicians’ Los Angeles home — helped Eilish win the top four honors, including album, song and record of the year, along with best new artist.

The 18-year-old is the youngest artist to achieve the feat and the first to do so since Christopher Cross did in 1981.

Finneas O’Connell — who cowrote, produced and engineered the album, walked away as Sunday’s top winner with six. Eilish won five honors.

“We didn’t write a speech for this because we didn’t make this album to win a Grammy. We didn’t think it would win anything ever. We wrote an album about depression and suicidal thoughts and climate change and being the bad guy — whatever that means — and we stand up here confused and grateful,” Finneas said onstage.

Together, they also won best pop vocal album, while Finneas’ individual honors included producer of the year (non-classical) and best engineered album (non-classical).

“This is my first Grammys. I never thought this would happen in my whole life,” Eilish said. “I genuinely wanna say I am so grateful and I only wanna say that I am so grateful.”

“This is to all the kids who are making music in the bedroom today — you’re going to get one of these,” Finneas added.

The bedroom where they created magic was brought to life when they hit the stage and performed When the Party’s Over, which featured Finneas on keys and Eilish singing in a soft, pitch perfect tone.

Los Angeles, where the show was held, had a central theme at the show: Hometown heroes Nipsey Hussle and Kobe Bryant, a global icon, were honored and celebrated at the show.

The show opened with a performance in honor of Bryant, who died hours before the awards along with his daughter and seven others.

Later in the show Hussle’s collaborators and friends, including DJ Khaled, John Legend, Meek Mill, Kirk Franklin, Roddy Ricch and YG, gave an all-star tribute to the man who died last year.

Hussle also posthumously won his first pair of Grammys.

The show — which took place at the Staples Center, Bryant’s old stomping ground — began with a touching, emotional and a cappella performance of It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday by host Alicia Keys and Boyz II Men.

Lizzo won three honors, including best pop solo performance for Truth Hurts and two R&B awards.

Lizzo was among the mix of newcomers and well-known acts who reached their goals of winning their first-ever Grammy Awards on Sunday, which also included Tanya Tucker (Best Country Album: While I’m Livin’), Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus (Best Music Video and Best Pop/Duo Performance for Old Town Road), Michelle Obama (Best Spoken World Album: Becoming), Jermaine Cole and 21 Savage (Best Rap Song: A Lot) and Tyler, the Creator (Best Rap Album: Igor).

Cage won Best Rock Album for Social Cues, Vampire Weekend won Best Alternative Music Album for Father of the Bride and Angelique Kidjo won Best World Music Album for Celia.

Elvis Costello & the Imposters won Best Tradition Pop Vocal Album for Look Now.

有「全民男友」之稱尚恩曼德斯，好身材和俊俏長相當然沒有浪費，在他成為新一代少女殺手之際，也被廠商相中成為內褲代言人。他甚至把內褲送給好友—樂團「The 1975」的主唱Matty。 Matty收到「傳奇內褲」後也發推特笑說：「100%純正！」由於也可以翻作「100%原味」的意思，讓不少粉絲笑說：「天啊！我也想要尚恩曼德斯的原味內褲！」

小賈斯汀

比尚恩曼德斯更早開始「賣內褲」，還有男星小賈斯汀，雖然當年他接下知名品牌的內褲代言時，曾經被不少網友酸言酸語。但事實證明，小賈斯汀不但持續代言下去，今年更和老婆海莉一起入鏡。他也曾透露，因為廠商送的內褲實在穿不完，「所以一條不會穿第二次。」

英國人氣天團「一世代」（One Direction）2016年宣布暫時解散，成員們各自單飛發展有成，成員連恩（Liam Payne）當爸後更是男性賀爾蒙爆棚，不但練出好身材，眼神更是脫胎換骨般，散發性感魅力。接下內褲代言廣告不吝嗇展露好身材，大方全裸入鏡的「露屁照」更是引起轟動，在推特被瘋狂洗版。不少網友都表示：「這真的是以前『一世代』的連恩嗎？怎麼變得如此性感！」

徐玄在峇里島開心地到處玩，到沙灘看海休息、體驗飯店漂浮早餐，也去玩了知名的空中鞦韆，留下大量美照，連成員太妍看了照片都大讚「是妖精啊」。因為是度假，她每天的打扮都很休閒，幾乎都是T恤配短褲，或者就單穿一件細肩帶長洋裝配涼鞋，雖然簡單卻顯得非常有氣質。

有網友好奇搜尋徐玄穿的洋裝同款，沒想到發現並不是什麼高級精品，反而都是千元有找的平價衣服，例如某件白底藍邊的洋裝，只要韓幣34000元（約台幣900元），另一件芥末黃色的露背洋裝，則只要韓幣31800元（約台幣840元），都是一般小資女也能無壓力購買的衣服。

▲網友感慨「時尚的完成果然還是在於臉」。（圖／翻攝自徐玄Instagram）

發現這件事後，網友都熱烈討論起來，大嘆「果然時尚靠的是臉和身材」、「只要人是精品，衣服也會變成精品」、「洋裝價格有什麼重要的，那可是徐玄的臉和徐玄的身材啊」、「如果是我穿的話…嗯…」，徐玄不特意追求名牌的作風也得到一片好評。

歌手耿斯漢先前以「大魔王」之姿，蒞臨ETtoday全球華人選秀節目《聲林之王2聲境傳奇》踢館，與李艾薇同台較勁歌喉讓人看得過癮，歌唱實力有目共睹。他因參加《中國好聲音3》爆紅，因此受邀回母校演講，他也分享當初在學期間不被看好的經歷，不過他用實力來證明一切。

▲耿斯漢因參賽《好聲音3》爆紅。（圖／記者李毓康攝）

現年26歲的耿斯漢，16歲決定往歌唱表演發展，但爸媽希望他能夠當公務員，不僅家裡鬧矛盾，課業表現也不甚理想。他透露，在學期間部分科目不是很擅長，還曾考過1分的成績，連老師也認為他無法將歌唱當職業，誰也沒想到，他21歲那年因參加《中國好聲音3》一夕爆紅，之後還受邀回母校演講。

▲耿斯漢時常受邀到各地演出。（圖／取自耿斯漢微博）

耿斯漢至今仍記得，當時在學校台上演講，因高中學生較為活潑，台下不少聊天聲音，但他不疾不徐地說：「現場不想聽我講話的，馬上出去沒關係。」他表示沒有生氣，是因自己也當過學生，以前同樣不愛坐在台下聽人演講，學生畢竟坐不住。真的有同學離場嗎？他笑說：「真的很多人走了。」

▲耿斯漢分享曾受邀回母校演講。（圖／記者李毓康攝）

耿斯漢21歲受邀參加《中國好聲音3》，接著受到4名導師轉身的禮遇，在節目中一戰成名，微博更在一夕間增加20萬粉絲，雖似有些機緣與運氣，但他早在16歲那年就已完全投入在歌唱上，即便領著低薪駐唱練經驗也甘願。不過，他總認為自己幸運，笑說：「我真的一點都不慘。」或許，正是這種態度為他帶來運氣。

▲耿斯漢個性直率，但也相當謙虛。（圖／記者李毓康攝）

沒學過專業歌唱訓練的他，透過多年駐唱與演出累積經驗，終於在《中國好聲音3》與《天籟之戰3》走紅。以「選手」之姿闖出名堂的他，不認為自己能給同樣在選秀節目奮戰的選手建議，「我也在學習，就是做自己就好，無論你喜歡什麼音樂，我認為都是獨一無二的。」

title: 都柏林旅展 台灣館山脈鐵道之旅吸睛

content_text:
2020 年「都柏林國際旅遊展」（Dublin Holiday World Show） 在農曆新年除夕盛大開展，台灣館以「脊梁山脈」、「鐵道旅行」為兩大主軸，聲光效果十足，相當吸睛。

駐愛爾蘭代表處發布新聞稿表示， 2020 都柏林國際旅遊展自 24 日起至 26 日止，在都柏林 RDS 展覽館舉行。今年是這項愛爾蘭最大旅遊展的 30 週年，也是駐愛爾蘭代表處接受交通部觀光局委託的第 10 次參展。

台灣館除了以大幅鐵道列車連結高山河谷背板與循環播放的脊梁山脈宣傳影片作為設計亮點之外，並特地空運台鐵動力火車模型到場，動態模擬環島鐵路旅遊路徑。 24 日上午駐愛爾蘭代表楊子葆主持開幕儀式後，台灣館立刻成為全展焦點。

愛爾蘭與台灣雖然同屬島嶼，但愛爾蘭島地勢平坦，位居西南的最高峰卡朗圖希爾山（Carrauntoohil）僅高 1038 公尺，不像台灣常見高達 3000 、 4000 公尺的山岳旅遊寶貴資源。台灣館介紹涵蓋中央山脈、雪山山脈、玉山山脈、阿里山山脈和海岸山脈等 5 大山脈的 24 條經典路線，讓深愛戶外活動的愛爾蘭人留下深刻印象。

另一方面，愛爾蘭受到鐵道交通發源地英國的文化影響，有為數眾多的鐵道迷，台灣以高鐵、台鐵主支線所構成的環島路網，尤其已成為國家級重要文化資產的「阿里山林業鐵路」，也是讓愛爾蘭鐵道迷嚮往不已的獨特「移動景觀」。

台灣館接待人員穿著由僑務委員會提供的傳統原住民及客家服飾，搭配文化展演，展現台灣多元文化特色及傳統風貌。此外，現場提供台灣觀光旅遊、文化、美食等資料及台灣鐵道鑰匙圈紀念品，並播放台灣觀光影片等以吸引人潮參觀攤位。中華航空及長榮航空也提供參觀民眾相關航班資訊，吸引民眾詢問。

〔記者歐素美／台中報導〕大甲鎮瀾宮依慣例在初四子時（國曆27日深夜11時至12時）迎神日，抽出4支「四季籤」，其中，俗稱「國運籤」的「人口籤」最受關注，今年標題是「銅銀買紙靴」，內容「欲去長江水闊茫，行船把定未遭風，戶內用心再作福，看看魚水得相逢」，延續過去四年，今年第五年仍獲得中籤。

大甲鎮瀾宮在大年初四，誦經迎神，再由董事長顏清標與副董事長鄭銘坤率全體董監事，虔誠向媽祖擲筊，抽出今年的四季籤，一開始顏清標一直擲不到聖杯，經跪求後才終於擲出第一個聖杯。

其中，首抽「人口籤」，即預測今年歲運。今年仍由台灣省陽宅教育協會理事長周建男擔任解籤，他表示，今年這支籤「銅銀買紙靴」是中籤，代表今年是產業經濟年，所有產業面臨備受挑戰衝擊的一年，所以要立即提升、積極營造新的商機，然後在新的這一年在新的局勢裡才能夠扭轉新的社會的整個局面。

另外隨後抽出「早冬」、「允冬」、「雨水」，則分別為中上籤、中籤跟中上籤。

普遍呈現中上。顏清標說，今年是中籤，大家要團結要打拚，子時已是大年初四，再過兩天就要銷假，大家要回到自己的崗位認真打拚，台灣才有未來，感謝大家，接下來元宵節就要擲筊決定前往南部九天八夜的遶境活動。

〔記者張瑞楨／綜合報導〕鳥友今天在嘉義鰲鼓濕地發現4輛車10人，公開架設漁網非法捕魚，氣得向警察報案，希望能將這群戕害生態的壞人繩之以法，負責管理此濕地區域的台糖事業部東石農場主任蔡金泰立即馳抵，但這群人已離開，他下水清除漁網，搞了半天，竟發現這是嘉義大學水生生物科學系的生態調查，嘉義縣野鳥學會理事長陳建樺氣炸了，質疑這群學生不懂規矩、錯誤示範，記者撥打電話求證，吳姓學生說，爾後會改進，也會向農場道歉。

鰲鼓濕地是台灣重要的濕地，也是重要候鳥棲息地，吸引很多候鳥棲息，早於2012年就公告禁止捕魚，今天下午鳥友在濕地的七號亭旁，驚見10名年輕人，駕駛4輛車，公然在此下漁網捕魚，當地人來人往，這群人毫不避諱異樣眼光，鳥友看不下去，錄影向農場與警方報案，警察尚未抵達前，這群人就設好漁網離去，農場主任蔡金泰率先抵達，因此地常有人非法捕魚，他相當在乎，立即穿青蛙裝下水撈除漁網。

不料，他們竟發現漁網上有「嘉義大學水生生物科學系生態調查實驗」，以及兩組電話號碼，嘉義縣野鳥學會理事長陳建樺相當生氣，他說，學生犯了兩項重大錯誤，其一是沒有識別證，沒有穿救生衣，沒有告知農場，外人跟農場不知道是學術研究，這是不專業的調查行為，其二是易招惹非議，在遊客面前大方架網子捕魚，會讓遊客誤認可以捕魚，這是錯誤示範。

陳建樺撥打漁網電話，但無人接聽，他向熟識的嘉義大學教授反映，希望這位教授能轉告學生的指導教授，不過，記者今天傍晚撥打魚網電話，是一位吳姓學生接聽，他說，這項研究調查是賴姓教授的計畫案，他不否認今天去架網捕魚，也不否認沒識別證、沒穿救生衣，但是他強調，捕魚之前，曾告知生態館的志工，並非沒有通知農場，至於引起上述爭議，吳姓同學說，他們會改善，他也會找時間向農場道歉。

拍鳥俱樂部會長黃蜀婷說，很感謝鳥友的通報義舉，這次犯錯的是學生，不是鳥友，也希望鳥友持續努力，遏止破壞生態的行為。

〔記者劉禹慶／澎湖報導〕針對澎湖傳出4起武漢型肺炎疑似案例，經送台北檢驗後，結果於晚間出爐，「澎湖縣嚴重特殊傳染性肺炎流行疫情指揮中心」表示，三軍總醫院澎湖分院收治4例疑似武漢肺炎，檢體報告顯示4人皆為陰性。

澎湖縣流行疫情指揮中心表示，三總澎湖分院25日、26日晚間分別採集4名疑似病患檢體，先後送至衛福部實驗室檢驗，27日晚間檢體報告出爐，4人結果皆為陰性，其中11歲女童為A型流感、4歲男童為B型流感，證實為虛驚一場。

擔任「澎湖縣流行疫情指揮中心指揮官、澎湖縣長賴峰偉要求各防疫單位持續戒備，並呼籲民眾做好自我防疫，戴口罩、勤洗手、避免接觸禽畜、避食生肉生蛋、避免至空氣不流通或人潮擁擠場所。

根據了解，25日晚間衛生福利部立澎湖醫院通報一例為11歲女童，今年1月中旬曾至蘇州旅遊，出現咳嗽、體溫38.7度，該院執行X光檢查後，送至三總澎湖分院。當晚，三總澎湖分院另通報一例38歲女士，日前曾至上海，近期與家人返鄉過年，出現咳嗽、發燒病狀。

三總澎湖分院為求慎重，25日深夜將該名11歲女童、38歲女士及其先生、4歲男童一併收治負壓隔離病房。院方依照疾管署檢體採驗規定，在間隔24時採集兩次咽喉拭子檢體，2次檢驗結果都為陰性。

content_text:
（中央社記者龍柏安台北27日電）農曆年假進入尾聲， 北返車流也跟著增加。依交通部高速公路局預估，明天 起國道總延車公里為138百萬車公里，為平日1.6倍；其 中北向交通量達78百萬車公里，為平日1.8倍。

高公局解釋，所謂的「延車公里」，是指將所有車 輛的行駛里程，全部加總所得到數字，可更精確統計國 道的交通量；數字越大，代表車子越多，行駛的里程也 較長，而過去習慣的車次計算，則不能完整反映車輛停 留在高速公路上的時間。

明天是春節連續假期第6天，今天開始北返車流已 湧現，高公局也預判，明日壅塞路段將出現在國1雲林 、彰化、台中、新竹等路段；國3則包括南投、苗栗、 桃園等北上路段，建議北向用路人儘量於上午或延後至 初五再出發，以節省寶貴時間。

高公局提醒用路人，明起下午1時起至晚間6時，國 道北向將採取高乘載管制，包括國1高雄至湖口、國3九 如至大溪各交流道，國5則從下午2時起至晚間9時，也 將採取高乘載管制。

此外國1台南、虎尾及埔鹽系統北向入口，與國3中 興系統、西濱北向及名間雙向入口全天封閉；春節期間 國道收費採單一費率、深夜零時起至清晨5時暫停收費 。

高公局建議民眾儘量選擇大眾運輸工具，民眾北向 可多利用台61快速公路，不僅免費又快速，其中台南至 新竹路段可完整替代國道路段，建議轉換道路更好走， 避免塞在車陣中。另外，上路前作好車輛保養及檢查， 避免旅途中發生車輛故障；若遇到車輛故障或事故時， 可利用高速公路1968App單鍵報案直接定位由公警大隊 勤指中心處理。（編輯：孫承武）1090127

content_text: 【大台灣旅遊網TTNews記者蔡聰挺】 咖啡在台彎已是一種很普遍的飲料，有很多愛好者，為了挑選自己喜歡的味道與口感，便四出尋找咖啡館或烘焙坊，最後也有自己試着動手玩起咖啡來，在玩出心得之後，甚至於設立工作室或提供DIY體驗的空間。南庄十三間老街的小恬田有點類似這樣的作法。 小恬田老闆原從事農產品批發業務，經常出現在各旅遊景點，結婚之後有了小孩，便在竹北設點仍然作批發工作，並利用假日到南庄附近登山時，經過十三間老街，發現現在的店面，為了兼顧農產品銷售及家庭，便頂下十三間老街店面，並經過裝修，為了增加服務的內容，以更符合旅者的需求，除了原農產品之外，逐漸增加其他項目。 鐵鍋咖啡便是其中之一。老闆在20多年前開始接觸咖啡、喝咖啡，長期下來也是一筆不小的費用，於是自己以家裡炒菜的鍋子炒起咖啡來，即經濟實惠，又可以是自己喜歡的風味。因此只要千元以內的設備，知道炒製工序，便可以自己炒咖啡。小恬田店內的咖啡豆、咖啡，便是自己以鐵鍋炒出來的，到南庄旅遊，可以自己試試看。有興趣還可以自己動手炒咖啡，約需一個半小時的時間，並且可以在現場喝到自己炒出來的咖啡。 炒咖啡DIY之外，洗愛玉、蜂臘保觧布，也可以DIY，全部完成之後，都可以帶回家，滿實用。另外店內農產加工品，都是精選在地農產品加工，以支持在地農民，老闆認為在台灣辛勤的農民才是應該被重視與照顧。也提供簡餐、咖啡、下午茶等，沒有炒炸的食品，到南庄十三間老街，想要不同的休閒體驗，多了一種選擇，特別是體驗樂活慢遊的休閒。 南庄深度之旅：http://353.tw.tranews.com/ 大苗栗旅遊網：http://miaoli.tranews.com/

日期:1月28日消息，通用汽車（General Motors）周一宣布，將投資30億美元生產「多種」全電動卡車和SUV，以及該公司最近推出的巡航原點（Cruise Origin）自動駕駛汽車。

該汽車製造商表示，這筆投資將包括投入22億美元在密歇根州的底特律-哈姆特拉克工廠——這是該公司第一家完全致力於全電動汽車的工廠；以及8億美元在供應商工具和「其他相關項目」上的投資。

通用汽車總裁馬克•羅伊斯（Mark Reuss）周一在底特律-哈姆特拉馬克舉行的活動中表示：「我們今天真正在建設未來。」

預計生產的全電動卡車將包括GMC品牌的悍馬皮卡。通用汽車尚未證實這些計劃。

據通用汽車稱，該公司首款全電動皮卡預計將於2021年底投產。

通用汽車及其巡航自動駕駛汽車部門上周在舊金山發佈了Cruise Origin，並表示隨後將「很快」推出。

通用汽車表示，預計底特律-哈姆特拉馬克工廠全面投產後將創造超過2200個就業崗位。

底特律-哈姆特拉馬克公司目前生產雪佛蘭英帕拉和凱迪拉克CT6。CT6將於本周停產，緊隨其後，英帕拉將於下月底停產。

該廠將從2月底開始停工「數月」，以進行設備更新。

【大成報記者于郁金/綜合報導】農曆大年初三，佛光山藏經樓主殿獻燈祈福，禮請到人間佛教研究院副院長妙光法師，為在場信眾開示，新的一年如何發心祈願。

妙光法師提到，許願很重要，不只是守住自己歲月中的美好，更要守住自己的願心和力量；我們要帶著願心來開智慧；如何開發內心寶藏，必需發願；我們的心有如一片福田，如果種下努力、勤勞、善良、厚道的種子；就有好的結緣，這就是願力。

「如何發心？大師給了我們很多方法，這方法就在藏經樓主殿四周圍，由右至左環繞著主殿共有52幅大師的祝福語，中間以1幅心經銜接；這些祝福語已包含大師一生行佛的經驗及體證；這是大師90歲，眼睛已經看不見時，但仍然希望把佛法智慧帶給衆人。」副院長妙光法師強調，佛字代表智慧，佛經不是束之高閣，應廣為流傳與全世界一起分享。

妙光法師說，在燃起每一柱香，每次閉上眼的許願中，我們都是發自內心祈求菩薩保佑，希望鼠年有個好的開始；新的一年，審視自己過去，重新出發；無論是工作上問題或家人的責任，我們都能勇於承擔。

妙光法師表示，近日爆發新型冠狀病毒肺炎，造成人心惶惶，但我們生活必需向前，所以必需作對的措施與應變；建立健康態度及正確醫療知識，勤洗手、戴口罩，少進入危險場所；這印證了星雲大師所說的「應世無畏」，也最能說明目前大家的處境。

妙光法師進一步表示，大家來到佛光山不只是祈福，也要認識藏經樓，當我們從藏經樓走出，帶著與自己相應的祝福語回去；日後面對困境挫折時，腦海突然浮現的字，你會發現它帶給你無限的力量。

記者洪珮瑄／綜合報導

在日常生活中，感冒發燒很常見，但小感冒有可能是一場大病的前奏。黑龍江省哈爾濱市一名李姓女子去（2019）年9月突然得了小感冒，呼吸和說話都變得困難，甚至害發了高燒，在醫院打了3天點滴。沒想到幾天之後，她竟然全身癱瘓，被醫生檢查出患有「吉巴氏綜合症」（Guillain-Barré syndrome）。

綜合陸媒報導，李女原本身體一直很不錯，不過為了工作，必須每天凌晨4點起床，步行近一個小時去上班，加上前一陣因為工作上的問題，讓她壓力很大，不知不覺免疫力也逐漸下降。

李女在去年9月突然得了小感冒，甚至還高燒不退，只好趕緊到醫院就診，並且整整打了3天的點滴。在經過幾天的休養後，李女的體溫漸漸下降，原本以為自己的身體已好轉，沒想到過了5天，她突然感覺喉嚨極度不適，就像被「封喉」一般。

隔天，李女連水都難以嚥下，隨後便告知丈夫，稱自己喉嚨不適，感覺就像有人掐住自己的脖子一樣，無論呼吸和說話都很困難。事後，她在家人的陪同下到醫院看診，但在當地醫院檢查後卻未見異常，只好罷休回家。

不過，李女回家後的幾天，病情進一步加重，甚至出現四肢不聽使喚的現象，且幾乎站不起來。接著，她來到大醫院，入住神經內科七病房3小時，隨後因呼吸困難被轉入加護病房（ICU）搶救。在經過完善的檢查後，李女最後被確診患有「吉巴氏綜合症」。

據悉，在經過醫生一系列的搶救治療後，李女終於可以自主呼吸，但四肢還是無法活動，為改善日後的生活品質，她也被轉到康復科繼續治療。醫生評估後發現，李女的四肢只有遠端的踝關節和腕關節可以活動，且無法開口，沒有有效的喉運動和咽反射。

針對李女的病情，醫生規劃了肢體康復治療、吞嚥治療以及物理因子治療方案。據悉，在經過一個半月的康復治療後，李女現在已經可以自己行走50米，且能與人正常交流，吞嚥功能也有部分改善。

日期:1月28日消息，美國12月新建住宅銷售連續第三個月降溫，預示著在較低的借貸成本和穩健的勞動力市推動購房攀升至十多年來最高水平后，買房熱潮可能有所減退。

單戶型住宅摺合成年率銷量下跌0.4%至694，000套，為7月以來最低，少於彭博調查的所有經濟學家的預測。周一公佈的政府數據顯示，11月數字被向下修正至697，000。銷售價格中值同比微漲0.5%至331，400美元。

根據政府數據，過去一年美國新建住宅銷量總計681，000套，比2018年增長10%以上，是2007年以來的最高水平。

有跡象表明庫存減少情況可能會有所緩解。以當前的房屋銷售速度計算，庫存可支持 5.7個月，高於上月的5.5個月，尚未開建的已售房屋數量增加到六個月高位214，000套。

記者陳以昇／新北報導

新北市一名男子撿到一只皮夾，事後不但佔為己有，還假冒失主的身份在臉書開設新帳號，貼文便宜賣iPhone 7手機，待對方匯款7千多元後，提領花用卻不寄送手機，被害人氣的向警方報案，才查出男子冒用身份詐騙行為，警循線將他逮捕，檢察官依詐欺罪起訴。

日前29歲林姓男子在新北市板橋區閒晃，撿到一只皮夾，裡面只有胡姓男子的身分證、健保卡及郵局提款卡，所幸佔為己有。事後林男竟異想天開，用胡男身份在臉書創了新帳號，貼文便宜賣iPhone 7手機，只要7185元含運費。

住在新竹的鄭姓男子看到賣手機訊息，立刻回訊聯絡，雙方達成交易，當天鄭男就到超商匯錢。鄭男確認款項入帳後，隨即領出7千元花用，並將鄭男訊息封鎖。倒霉的鄭男遲遲聯繫不上林男，才驚覺受騙，氣得到轄區派出所報案。警方循線將林男逮捕，這才發現，他假冒身份行騙的真相，檢察官依詐欺罪將他起訴。

記者張嘉晏／綜合報導

說到錢包，有一派說法是「長夾的招財效果更勝短夾」，原因是使用短夾時，鈔票通常會對折，財運也可能因此減半。一名網友就表示自己習慣拿短夾，但好友有此迷信，每年生日禮物都送他長夾，讓他好奇詢問鄉民「真的有差嗎？」

「難道長夾真的可以比較招財嗎？無法理解這種概念。」一名網友在PTT女板發文，他表示自己平時習慣帶小包包，由於長夾塞不進去，所以他一般都是使用短夾。

不過原PO每次和某位閨密吃飯，對方看到他的錢包都會碎念「長夾較容易招財」，每年生日禮物也都是送他不同專櫃品牌的長夾。如此堅持了幾次，也讓原PO不禁問是否真的有效。

▲短夾體積小、好攜帶。（圖／本報資料照）

對此，網友們幾乎都認為招不招財是其次，用得順手比較重要。有長夾派網友表示，把鈔票攤平後，拿取的確方便許多，「喜歡長夾，鈔票可以攤平很爽」、「我也是很信邪所以改用長夾，但沒看出什麼區別XD」、「長夾一拉開一目了然的感覺很棒」、「以前用短夾放口袋常掉，用長夾強迫自己把錢包收到包包裡」。

支持短夾的網友們則主張，現今行動支付發達，出門通常帶手機就夠，不太需要用到大錢包了，「長夾很重又佔體積」、「短夾派，現在手機也可以刷卡了」、「短夾+1，有錢就是有錢，跟錢包無關」。

記者洪巧藍／台北報導

中國大陸武漢肺炎疫情持續發展，當地累積病例已經來到2744例，且有80例死亡，除西藏自制區以外各省市都有病例發生；而台灣則連續兩天都有確定病例，中央流行疫情指揮中心27日公布，第5例境外移入病例為中部50多歲女性，去年10月下旬就在武漢工作，1月20日和台灣首例女台商搭同一班機回國，返台後5天出現症狀，就醫隔離並確診。健保署方面為了讓臨床醫師能更即時掌握患者是否有武漢旅遊史，27日起串連入境資料，一插健保卡就可獲得相關提醒。

指揮中心指揮官、衛福部長陳時中說明，個案去(2019)年10月下旬赴中國大陸武漢工作，無華南海鮮市場活動史及禽畜接觸史，今年1月20日返台，班機上同時有台灣首例確診個案女性台商，後來個案於25日出現發燒及肌肉痠痛症狀就醫，院方隨即通報並收治負壓隔離病房，經檢驗於今(27)日確診，目前個案病情穩定。

指揮中心應變官、疾管署副署長莊人祥進一步說明，第五例個案與首例機上座位較遠，相隔20幾排，經整體評估在武漢當地就感染的機會較大。

也由於首例確診，這名女性被列為相關的接觸者需密切觀察，個案發燒前已避免外出，也多配戴口罩，自訴活動史僅有在開放空間運動，另冠狀病毒得在發病之後才有傳染力，個案發燒後隨及安排就醫隔離，目前主要接觸者為自己的丈夫，衛生單位還在進行相關疫情調查。

▲中央流行疫情指揮中心應變官莊人祥。（圖／記者楊詩益攝）

指揮中心統計，26日國內新增119例嚴重特殊傳染性肺炎通報個案，目前累計通報402名個案，含5名確診、190名排除、207名隔離檢驗中(88名初驗陰性、其餘待檢驗)。5名確診個案狀況穩定持續住院隔離，除第4名及第5名確定病例接觸者待追蹤，前3名確診個案接觸者共計384人，其中14人有症狀已通報(6人二次檢驗皆陰性已排除、8人檢驗中)。

中央健保署長李伯璋也於會中宣布，健保系統即起串連武漢入境資料，當患者14天內曾從武漢返台，插入健保卡就可從健保雲端系統主頁面的病人資訊摘要中顯示旅遊史提示，讓醫療院所醫師診斷病人時可以及早掌握患者狀況，防堵疫情擴散。根據健保署統計，過去14天內從武漢返台且具有健保身份者共有1640人。

李伯璋表示，目前提醒以武漢旅遊史為主，後續預計會擴大至湖北省，並視其他地區風險再行加入；另也規劃連結武漢肺炎確診個案相關接觸者名單，同步顯示在系統業面中。

▲健保署長李伯璋。（圖／記者楊詩益攝）

交通部次長祁文中表示，到27日中午為止，台灣已經沒有武漢團，另有一團湖北團也於下午出境，其他在台灣的大陸團還有308團共5499人，觀光局已請旅行社協助安排1/31前全數離境。

此外，國內傳出有從中國大陸返台旅客不配合檢疫，甚至還有人故意對檢疫人員咳嗽、嘻笑。陳時中會中也提出嚴正斥責，他強調，防疫不是遊戲，一旦有對第一線檢疫人員不配合，或者有任何不禮貌行為必定嚴懲，嚴重若妨礙公務甚至有刑責。

▲防疫絕非兒戲。（圖／衛福部提供）

依傳染病防治法第58條規定，入境旅客應誠實配合檢疫單位填報及繳交相關資料，並配合必要檢疫措施，如有填寫不實或其他拒絕、規避、妨礙之行為者，將依法處最高15萬元罰鍰。

對於公務員依法執行職務時，施強暴脅迫者，處三年以下有期徒刑、拘役或九千元以下罰金。意圖使公務員執行一定之職務或妨害其依法執行一定之職務或使公務員辭職，而施強暴脅迫者，亦同。犯前二項之罪，因而致公務員於死者，處無期徒刑或七年以上有期徒刑；致重傷者，處三年以上十年以下有期徒刑。

▲泰國警方懷疑男子吸食大麻。（示意圖／達志影像／美聯社）

記者張方瑀／綜合報導

一名法國籍男子去年10月因體內被驗出「少量大麻」，遭警方要求支付25萬泰銖才放他離開。不過法國籍男子表示，因為他患有疾病，必須透過大麻精油來治療，這也都是從合法診所取得，但警方就算看到他的就醫證明，仍不願放他離開，堅持要他付錢才能離開，形同勒索。

據泰國《世界日報》報導，去年10月份時，曼谷通羅區（Thong Lo）的高級住宅區內，疑似有人吸食與販賣毒品遂前往調查，在查到該名法國男子時，儘管未在他的身上與住處發現毒品，仍舊將他押回警局驗血。結果也驗出該名男子身上含有少量大麻成分。

該名男子聲稱，他是因為身體疾病，必須服用少量大麻油，而這些大麻油也都是從合法管道取得；同時男子也拜託母親拿來護照與醫生證明到警局。豈料，警方依舊不願意讓他離開，並要求他必須繳交25萬泰銖（約台幣24萬7500元）才准放行，氣得男子在獲釋後，立刻向法國大使館求助。

目前泰國國家警察總署已經成立調查委員會，證實該名男子的醫生證明確實是合法文件，取得大麻油的診所也是在當地合法經營。委員會強調，若發現員警有任何瀆職的行為，絕對依法送辦。

網搜小組／周亭瑋報導

一名女網友日前參加公司尾牙，猛然瞥見一隻與鞋身分離的鞋跟，被遺落在地板上，讓她不禁好奇，到底是哪種鞋款，竟有如此慘烈的下場。而網友們看完全笑噴，直呼「南瓜公主出現過！」

女網友在爆廢公社發文表示，「我想知道這鞋的主人，妳怎麼離開尾牙的？鞋是淘寶買的嗎？這下連王子都不知道怎麼找妳了。」

她也忍不住笑說，「想知道完整的鞋款！聽說每年尾牙都有這種鞋遺落，這個故事告訴我們...出門去尾牙的時候，一定要確認再確認，或包包多帶一雙藍白拖。」

從畫面中可見，紫色地毯上立著一個高跟鞋底，而鞋身早已不見蹤影，看起來有些淒涼。對此，網友們紛紛回應，「這是被豬叼去豬圈的那隻吧」、「決定尾牙還是穿布鞋好了」、「這就是鞋子放太久沒有穿，當然脫膠」、「踮腳尖離開」、「灰姑娘～現代版嗎」。

還有類似經驗的網友直呼，「我去年也做這種蠢事，平時很少穿皮鞋，結果鞋底竟然掉了，所以一直坐在位置上，不想起身走動」、「我留過鞋底在加油站，加完油要騎走發現鞋底掉了，只好加速騎走」。

記者吳美依／綜合外電報導

美國德州發生一起可怕案件，25歲的麥可（Michael Egwuagu）拿菜刀刺殺懷孕不到3個月的親生姊姊珍妮佛（Jennifer Chioma Ebichi），犯案後拿著凶器、滿身是血走出家門，面帶微笑向鄰居表示「我殺了珍妮佛」，認罪過程全被門鈴監視器（Doorbell Camera）拍攝下來，成為關鍵證據。

根據逮捕令，麥可2019年12月27日拜訪姊姊，竟拿菜刀將對方刺殺死亡。死者的鄰居穆拉（Linda Mura）表示，珍妮佛稍早曾邀請她去家裡坐坐，沒想到在門口看見嫌犯渾身是血，拿著菜刀，面帶微笑地說，「我殺了珍妮佛。」

據了解，珍妮佛曾傳訊息給雙胞胎哥哥馬丁（Martin Chinedu Egwuagu），說「麥可正在經歷一場危機」，幾小時之後又請哥哥來找她。馬丁表示，抵達時看見妹妹的其中一個孩子渾身是血，與穆拉一起站在家門外，他進到屋內，看見珍妮佛倒在廚房地板的血泊中，另一名孩子在旁邊哭泣。

▲麥可持刀殺害懷孕的親生姊姊，走出門以後微笑向鄰居坦承犯罪。（示意圖／取自免費圖庫Pixabay）

馬丁把2個孩子交給老婆照顧，出發尋找弟弟，不久後看見麥可雙膝跪在路邊地上，「好像在祈禱」，接著把沾血的衣服脫下來丟進一旁垃圾桶。

綜合CNN、《紐約時報》報導，根據12月28日的驗屍報告，珍妮佛懷孕不到三個月，身上有12到24處刀傷，死因是他殺，肚子裡的胎兒也跟著死去。

特拉維斯郡（Travis County）調閱死者的門鈴監視器，發現麥可的確拿著菜刀，坦承殺害姊姊，這一段畫面符合穆拉的證詞，也成為鐵錚錚的證據。據了解，嫌犯曾是德州大學安聖安東尼奧分校（University of Texas at San Antoni）的橄欖球員，如今被指控謀殺，犯案不久之後就遭逮捕。

▲土耳其遭到美國逐出F-35軍購名單後，希臘有意軍購一個中隊的F-35。（圖／翻攝自美國空軍官網）

記者林彥臣／綜合報導

希臘國防部長帕納裘托普羅斯（Nikos Panagiotopoulos）接受希臘媒體採訪時說，希臘計劃在未來幾年裡從美國引進一支F-35戰鬥機中隊，以加強空軍作戰實力，使希臘能夠在與土耳其可能出現的對峙中重獲空中優勢，另外也著手把現役的F-16升級為台灣也有的F-16V。

土耳其為F-35的共同研發國之一，但是自從軍購了俄羅斯的S-400防空飛彈後，美國已將土耳其逐出F-35戰機的研發與軍購計劃，土耳其空軍也跟希臘一樣裝備F-16戰鬥機，它同時也是僅次於美國的北約第二大常備軍。

▲希臘著手將現役F-16升級為F-16V。（圖／翻攝自洛克希德馬丁官網）

根據土耳其媒體Ahval新聞網報導，帕納裘托普羅斯說，軍購24架F-35戰機的計劃，預計於2024年完成交付，並且開始把現有的F-16升級為F-16V，預計7年~8年完成。

帕納裘托普羅斯指控土耳其與利比亞，對於海上邊界的劃定談判侵犯了希臘主權，希臘將對於侵犯領土主權的行為將做出回應，與土耳其的政治和軍事緊張局勢加劇，兩國在愛琴海的領土糾紛，以及賽普勒斯附近的油氣探勘爭議，也讓希臘正尋求加強其防禦能力並改善與北約夥伴美國的合作。

希臘《每日報》報導指出，引進一支裝備24架F-35戰鬥機的作戰中隊及配套基礎設施，預計花費超過30億歐元（折合新台幣999億）。

希臘與土耳其在現代所結下的樑子，可以追溯到1974年的賽普勒斯島問題，當時希臘右翼軍人政權策動鄰近土耳其的賽普勒斯共和國政變，土耳其以此為由出兵，1975年島上的土耳其裔片面宣布成立「賽普勒斯土耳其聯邦」控制了島上北邊約1/3面積的領土，1983年改名為「北賽普勒斯土耳其共和國」，但全世界只有土耳其承認北賽普勒斯主權。

▲北極北冰洋未來可能暖化到完全無冰。（圖／達志影像／美聯社）

記者王致凱／綜合報導

美國加州大學洛杉磯分校（UCLA）研究人員近期在《自然氣候變化》 （Nature Climate Change）期刊上發表研究發現，顯示北極北冰洋暖化速度加劇，在2044年至2067年間，即最快24年後，北冰洋可能出現夏日無冰的情景。

研究主要作者薩克雷（Chad Thackeray）表示，北極地區暖化速度是地球其他地區的2倍，而氣候變遷和溫室氣體排放是北冰洋海冰溶化的主因。

另一方面，當海冰融化後，海水會吸收更多陽光，導致暖化加劇。薩克雷表示，北極海冰在地球系統中扮演關鍵腳色，能使全球氣候保持涼爽宜人，北冰洋的任何變化都將為生態、環境和經濟帶來廣泛影響。

研究人員是根據1980年至2015年內23種模型對季節性海冰融化進行分析，並與衛星觀測結果進行比較，從而縮小了北極無冰期的預測範圍。根據衛星觀測資料，自1979年以來，北極地區9月份海冰數量每10年就會下降13％。

英國廣播公司稱，北極海冰融化不僅使區域暖化，北極凍土層中也儲存了大量的碳，而北極氣候變暖意味著凍土層也將融化，進而向大氣中釋放更多二氧化碳和甲烷。

▲喜歡閱讀的人可以選連假最後一天找一本書好好看，抓回專注力，示意圖。（圖／unsplash）

記者洪巧藍／台北報導

這次春節從小年夜開始放，連續七天的歡慶、渡假，轉眼就準備開學、上工。諮商心理師提醒，收假前應該預留個半天、一天收心，找一件事情專注去做，找回專注的感覺。

諮商心理師公會副理事長、羅惠群表示，對於出社會、在職場經過一段時間的人來說，都有一套方式可以轉換放假與工作的模式，但是對於國高中學生，放假幾乎等同於作息混亂，生理時鐘也受到干擾。特別是放假久了，到處玩、到處看，心理狀態「比較散」，之後精神集中度比較差，就很常見收假第一天往往效率很差。

▲專注聽音樂對收心也有幫助，示意圖。（圖／取自免費圖庫Pixabay）

羅惠群建議，春節這，長假不要最後一天才回到家，可以預留的半天、一天在家讓自己收心。而收心的方式也不難，只要找到一件事情「專注去做」，就可以達到恢復專注的狀態。

羅惠群舉例，或許喜歡聽音樂，就可以給自己20分鐘~半小時專注做這件事情；如果喜歡閱讀，也可以找一本書細細品味，過程中也要注意自己的狀態，思考是否開心、疲累，感覺就像「跟自己在一起」。

荷蘭愛因荷芬U18世界盃女子冰球賽，中華隊碰上強敵哈薩克，兩隊上演精采拉鋸戰，最終中華隊前鋒譚舒庭在黃金驟死賽利用反彈球，上演絕殺戲碼，終場4比3擊敗哈薩克，報了上屆落敗的一箭之仇，同時拿下2勝0敗，只要下一場擊敗澳洲，就能締造我國史上首度升上一級的空前紀錄。

中華隊開賽怯場、放不開的毛病再犯，首節第13分鐘就被攻破大門，陷入0比1落後。總教練尹安中表示，「哈薩克平均身高超過180，反觀我們球員大約在160至165公分間，面對對手壓迫，球員因畏懼而快速傳球或射門，導致進攻雜亂無章，直到最後一節才改善。」

本場比賽中華隊利用速度戰與對手抗衡，全場射門多達45次，比哈薩克21次高出一截；其中第三節射門次數更取得22：5的壓倒性領先。

甫於2020年冬季青年奧運奪下銀牌的前鋒張恩婗單場梅開二度，兩戰共射進3球，成為進球王。尹安中認為，「張恩婗在冬青奧汲取許多國際賽經驗，且兩個比賽時間接近，又都在歐洲，狀態維持在顛峰，成為表現傑出的主因。」

中華隊在第二節3分27秒靠著王璇射門破網，取得本場首次超前，但隨後在13：05秒被追平。第三節張恩婗射進個人本場第二球，率隊再度領先，無奈還是未能守成。尹安中說，「體力下滑加上防守失誤，才會打得如此艱辛，尤其對手第二個進球，守門員已將球擋下，但裁判尚未裁定為死球，球員就已鬆懈，才會讓哈薩克趁亂得分。」

黃金驟死賽採三打三對抗，中華隊將速度發揮淋漓盡致，比賽僅進行57秒，譚舒庭就利用反彈球，射進致勝分，全隊欣喜若狂。

尹安中在比賽罕見動怒，還摔壞戰術板，賽後他解釋，「不完全是針對球員表現，也是情緒宣洩。本場比賽哈薩克球員動作粗暴，尤其在門前多次犯規，但裁判都未響哨，才會有些激動。」

中華隊連續擊敗荷蘭與哈薩克，最終戰將碰上澳洲。兩隊去年就在U18世界盃交手過，中華隊以6比1獲勝，加上U18賽前的友誼賽也是台灣贏球，若能正常發揮，勝算很大。但尹安中仍不敢掉以輕心，「對手勢必會針對我們的弱點進行突破，球員必須全力以赴，穩扎穩打，才有機會獲勝。」

因應武漢肺炎疫情持續升溫，經濟部日前宣布管制口罩出口1個月，財政部也在27日表示會注意旅客自帶出境的口罩數量，目前海關共識為5盒、共250個為上限。然而，歌手楊培安對此政策相當不滿，在微博發文以髒話痛罵政府：「是怎樣？綠色恐怖已經懶得演了是吧？」

楊培安連日不斷在微博發文，因為在網路上買不到口罩，氣得截圖PO出：「不是說『口罩數量充足』嗎？台灣就是充斥一群信口開河的政客。」他毫不避諱表達對政府的不滿，並回覆微博網友：「冥進黨聲稱有4500萬個口罩可供防疫。而實際情況是：根本買不到口罩！」儘管如此，他還是盡力蒐集了一批口罩，宣布將會在初六一早用最速件寄出。

對於最新的「出國限帶5盒口罩」禁令，楊培安也表現出強烈的不認同，痛斥：「是怎樣？綠色恐怖已經懶得演了是吧？」他批評總統蔡英文：「自己不戴口罩四處發紅包，卻要求排隊領紅包的人要噴酒精消毒，又要戴口罩？平民買不到口罩耶！根本就是浪費資源！」氣到在發文中連罵髒話。

▲太空人作弊面臨史上最嚴厲懲處。（圖／達志影像／美聯社）

記者路皓惟／綜合報導

近10年大聯盟爆發史上最嚴重的作弊風暴，2017年世界大賽冠軍隊太空人遭指控非法使用電子產品偷暗號，遭到大聯盟祭出史上最嚴厲懲處。此外，2018年冠軍隊紅襪也被指控偷暗號，成為大聯盟過去10年最大汙點。

2017年效力於太空人隊的投手費爾斯（Mike Fiers）向媒體揭露前東家的作弊行為，指出球隊於中外野架設攝影機進行偷暗號，將拍攝畫面傳輸到休息區與球員休息室連接通道的電視上，球團員工和球員透過電視螢幕，破解對方球隊暗號。

大聯盟在接受到指控後，立即進行地毯式嚴查，在公布多達9頁的調查報告書前，對球團員工及球員進行了超過60次的約談，調查球團超過7萬6000多封電子郵件。

針對太空人作弊案，大聯盟祭出史上最嚴厲懲處，包括史上最高的500萬美元（約台幣1.5億元）罰款，以及2020年和2021年的前兩輪選秀權，並對總經理路勞（Jeff Luhnow）和總教練辛區（A.J. Hinch）祭出1年禁賽，而這兩名球隊核心人物也隨即被太空人老闆克蘭（Jim Crane）開除。

大空人作弊事件延燒，如雪球般越滾越大，時任太空人板凳教練的紅襪冠軍教頭柯拉（Alex Cora）被指是作弊案的重大嫌疑人，高度涉入此案，從中給予破解對方暗號的協助，因此，加上自身也捲入紅襪偷暗號風波，紅襪宣布提前解約，成為第2位因作弊事件丟掉烏紗帽的教頭。

2017年替太空人效力的貝爾川是調查報告中，唯一被提及的球員，儘管並未遭到大聯盟懲處，但他難以在偷暗號事件中撇清關係，執教正當性已經受到外界質疑，大都會球團擋不住輿論壓力，也有意切割，雙方經過討論之後，貝爾川遞出辭去總教練一職，成了該事件第3位丟飯碗的教頭。

一連串偷暗號爆料讓大聯盟籠罩陰影之下，大聯盟遭受各界批評，官方為了展現出防止作弊的決心，聯手球員工會討論，期盼未來預防類似事件再次發生，極力挽救大聯盟形象。

title: 2020武漢風暴》富士康離太近！ 愛瘋供應鏈危險了

content_text:
春節假期即將走到尾聲，三星、華為以及蘋果等品牌，即將在春季推出的新產品生產線也準備復工，但突然爆發的武漢肺炎疫情急速升溫，大陸國務院也宣布今年春節延長至2月2日，無疑是讓整個供應鏈產能延後，調查就指出，距離爆發疫情湖北省500公里遠的河南省鄭州市，為全球最大蘋果代工廠富士康的生產基地，外界擔憂蘋果供應鏈恐怕會受到影響。

據外國財經媒體調查，鄭州與河南為目前iPhone以及智慧型手機最大的生產基地，雖然經歷兩年來陸美貿易戰延燒，包括富士康等電子消費性產品外移至海外生產，就是避免美國總統川普又對大陸進口商品加徵關稅。

然而，許多企業仍來不及轉移產能，尤其以鴻海集團旗下富士康，雖然已經宣布在越南、印度耗資上百億元投資設廠，但仍在此地仍留下龐大資產，富士康的鄭州iPhone組裝廠所在地距離武漢500公里，目前河南省2019新型冠狀病毒（2019－nCoV）確診病例有83例，死亡病例1例，位居大陸地區疫情排名第四，情況可說是相當危險。

美國政府原本在去年12月15日將對大陸1600億美元進口商品加徵關稅，但隨著雙方緊張情勢趨緩，以及達成陸美第一階段貿易協議的消息傳出，美國政府同意暫緩關稅制裁的行動，由於這份清單上大多為手機、筆電以及其他商品，蘋果的iPhone也被包括在內。

根據國際調研機構IDC資料顯示，河南去年占大陸智慧型手機四分之一出口，大陸智慧型手機出口至全球銷售占27%，富士康貢獻更是達到60%，對於支撐大陸電子產品製造產業可說是重中之重。

美國30歲年輕富翁史蒂芬（Graham Stephan）靠著製作YouTube影片和投資房地產致富，26歲時身價就超過100萬美元（約新台幣3000萬元）。但除了開源有一套，他在節流上也很有辦法，他的省錢習慣恐怕會讓大家感到意外。

CNBC報導，史蒂芬分享自己的累積財富的撇步時表示，其實他不愛花錢，雖然收入很高，但支出很低，他宣稱可以存下99%的收入，更自豪地說：「沒人比我還節儉。」

第二，不買名牌服飾。史蒂芬表示：「我不認為花700美元買一雙名牌鞋有什麼意義，用10分之1的價格就能在H&M等店家買到類似的商品。」

第三，史蒂芬購物時會在各大超市比價，外出用餐也會和女友分食，節省伙食費。此外，他也出租了一半自己的雙層公寓，再增加收入。

但他強調，這些省錢方式不見得適用於所有人。他認為，想成為有錢人，不用每天工作12小時，最重要的是要有創意，敢做與多數人不同的事情。

〔中央社〕中國武漢肺炎疫情肆虐，民眾對於當局處理疫情不當感到憤怒，批評危機中心湖北省和省會武漢市的官員無能，網友嘲弄這些官員連防護口罩都戴不好。

法新社報導，疫情嚴重的湖北省舉行電視記者會，包括湖北省長王曉東、武漢市長周先旺跟湖北省政府秘書長別必雄皆出席，但許多中國網友卻被他們在記者會上的一連串錯誤激怒。

王曉東沒戴口罩出席記者會，違反武漢強制在公共空間戴口罩的規定。微博網友還指出，周先旺錯誤配戴口罩，把口罩內外戴反。

網友批評，若連市長都不知道怎麼戴口罩，「一般百姓怎麼會知道」。甚至有人嚴厲指責這些「無能又不負責任的政客」。

在中國，對政治人物的批評，往往快速被刪除，但這次百姓的憤怒言論罕見超過網路審查速度，批評記者會的一個標籤到今天中午為止，在微博上獲得超過6.8億瀏覽次數。

網友也把焦點放在王曉東錯誤不斷的發言上，他在提及湖北省口罩年產量時，一再修正數據，從108億到18億，再減到108萬副。

這讓一名網友不敢置信地表示：「作為湖北省長，你怎麼會不知道湖北省生產多少口罩？」

湖北省是疫情爆發中心。武漢肺炎目前造成至少81人喪命，並在全球感染超過2700人，包括美國、澳洲及台灣。

title: 肺炎等級這樣分！若發生呼吸困難請送醫

content_text:
根據世界衛生組織(WHO)的報告指出，全球每20秒，就有1位小孩因為肺炎(Pneumonia)而喪命。每個小孩出現肺炎的症狀都不同，並不是每次都會有嚴重咳嗽、發高燒，或有什麼明顯的感染。這也使得要辨別小孩患有哪種肺炎，變得有些困難。因此以下提供一些參考線索，幫助家長分辨小孩是否罹患肺炎、哪種肺炎，以及哪種症狀該就醫。

輕度肺炎 如果疾病是因為肺炎黴漿菌(Mycoplasma pneumoniae)、肺炎披衣菌(Chlamydia pneumoniae)等菌株引起，那就算是輕度肺炎，或稱走路型肺炎(Walking pneumonia)。這種肺炎常見於學齡期的小孩，症狀包括乾咳、輕微發燒、頭痛與疲勞。

中度肺炎 學齡期的小孩罹患的中度肺炎，大多都是由病毒所引起。常見的症狀有喉嚨痛、咳嗽、輕度發燒、鼻塞、腹瀉(Diarrhea)、食慾降低，以及疲勞等。

嚴重肺炎 學齡期的小孩、青少年，若有以下症狀則代表狀況嚴重：發高燒、不停冒汗、畏寒、皮膚出現紅疹、嘴唇或指甲周圍皮膚發紫、喘鳴(Weezing)，以及呼吸困難等。

寶寶的肺炎症狀 寶寶如果患有肺炎，症狀可能不會很明顯，而且由於寶寶無法描述身體不適的情況，要確定他們是否罹患肺炎並不容易。患有肺炎的寶寶，可能會有下列症狀：皮膚蒼白、身體虛弱、嗜睡、異常哭鬧、不易餵食、受到刺激時容易興奮、躁動、嘔吐等。

何時該尋求醫師協助 當小孩有下列徵兆時，請立即帶小孩去看醫師。

呼吸困難或呼吸急促 膚色變藍或灰白 6個月以下的寶寶高燒體溫達攝氏38度 治療小孩肺炎的方法 醫師會檢查小孩的身體外觀、呼吸情況、脈搏、體溫等生命徵象，以及肺部是否會發出聲音等。另外，醫師也可能幫小孩做胸部X光檢查、抽血，以及對咳出來的黏液進行細菌培養，以了解肺炎是由哪種細菌造成的。

確診罹患肺炎後，口服抗生素並在家多休息，大多就能痊癒。但請記得，不要給小孩服用止咳糖漿，因為它會抑制小孩把黏液從肺裡咳出來的能力。因此讓小孩服用止咳糖漿前，請務必先諮詢醫師。

需要住院的情況 小孩有下列情況時，可能需要住院進一步治療，以避免家人間互相傳染：

因為百日咳(Whooping cough)導致的肺炎。 持續發高燒，且呼吸一直有問題。 需要氧氣治療。 肺部感染蔓延到身體其他部位。 患有自體免疫疾病(Autoimmune disease)。 嚴重嘔吐。 肺炎病情復發。 患有嚴重肺炎的兒童，可能需要送至加護病房照顧。 Hello Health Group 並不提供醫療建議、診斷或治療。
