On his sixth visit to Taiwan, Hollywood actor Rob Schneider accepted an award for his contributions to local tourism. Schneider expressed his love for the people of the island and the many things there are to do here. 

Actor Rob Schneider again showed the warmth that makes him beloved by fans. He was here to accept a special award.

The award was given to Schneider as part of a tourism festival activity. Schneider had this to say about Taiwan:

Rob Schneider
Hollywood Actor
I love the people here. The people have a great sense of humor. They love their country. They have great food; the most amazing food in the world is here. I like the culture, and they’ve been very warm to me. And I like to go around. It’s 24 hours – you go to the night markets and I enjoy it. Hopefully we’ll be able to make a movie here and show people all over the world. We’re going to figure out…it’s got to be a comedy, but maybe fun and an adventure. And I have a TV show where we talk about Taiwan in my new TV show.

Last year Taiwan surpassed 8 million tourist arrivals for the first time. The Tourism Bureau hopes 2014 can be another record-setting year.

原本已經持有萬泰銀部分股份的開發金,這回宣布,以每股13.4元,總價230多億元收購萬泰銀,消息一出,萬泰銀與開發金今天的股價分別下跌及上漲。

開發金昨晚才宣布,以股權轉換方式,併購萬泰銀, 萬泰銀今天的股價,跌幅達4%,反觀開發金則維持平穩,開盤後一路上揚,漲幅達1.6%,合理反映出併購行情。

[[萬泰銀總經理 張立荃]]
原本(萬泰)發展上的瓶頸,也受限於資本部分,我相信這次合併,資本的厚實,會讓商銀未來的發展,會變得非常的好。

開發金總經理楊文鈞代表公司,歡迎萬泰員工加入大家庭,兩家公司最快在7月份完成併購,至於萬泰銀約1千6百名員工去留,楊文鈞也許下承諾。

[[開發金總經理 楊文鈞]]
(員工)保障期是一年,我們的重疊性真的很少,所以我們真的很需要,萬泰的同仁繼續在崗位上,繼續服務繼續打拚。

原本虧損不斷的萬泰銀,自從開發金入股後,2012年開始轉虧為盈,這回的合併案,未來的發展各界都在看。

Today was the first day of trading after Taiwan’s China Development Financial announced it will buy Cosmos Bank at a discount from Monday’s closing price. China Development Financial closed up over one-and-a-half percent, compared to a half a percent gain on the Taiex, while Cosmos Bank closed down. 

China Development Financial announced yesterday that it would acquire Cosmos Bank through a share transfer. Today, shares of Cosmos Bank fell by over 4 percent while those of China Development Financial rose by over one-and-a-half percent. 

Richard Chang
Cosmos Bank President
Originally, Cosmos Bank faced a development bottleneck and capital limitations. I believe that this merger will lead to abundant capital and allow for excellent development of the commercial bank.

The merger can be completed as early as July, pending approval. Also present was Paul Yang, the president of China Development Financial. He welcomed the staff of Cosmos Bank and made a promise to its 1,600 employees.

Paul Yang
China Development Financial Pres.
Staff will have a guarantee period of one year. There isn’t much overlap between the two companies, so we really need Cosmos Bank workers to remain in their positions and continue working. 

Cosmos Bank was in the red before China Development Financial first bought a stake in it. In 2012, Cosmos Bank finally began to turn a profit, and now hopes that this latest deal will lead to an even better future.

眾所矚目的王張會,今天下午在南京登場,這是主管兩岸事務官方,首度互稱官銜上談判桌,張志軍雖然稱呼王郁琦主委,但完全省略陸委會的官方稱謂,王郁琦趕緊補上,針對張志軍呼籲兩岸是一家人,王郁琦則是沒有搭腔。

陸委會主委王郁琦與國台辦主任張志軍,在去年APEC會議後,第二次握手,這回卻是正式上談判桌。

[[國台辦主任 張志軍]]
“我和郁琦主委這是第二次見面,我希望也相信,今後我們之間常來常往,一定能夠成為好朋友”

張志軍省略的官方名稱,接著說話的王郁琦,立刻補上。

[[陸委會主委 王郁琦]]
“居然有一天陸委會主委,跟國台辦主任,雙方可以握手交談,並且互稱職銜”

張志軍接著提出,兩岸一家的說法。

[[國台辦主任 張志軍]]
“我相信兩岸只要沿著和平發展,這一條正確的道路走下去,今後一定能夠走得更近。兩岸是一家人,不能老死不相往來”

王郁琦對張志軍的喊話,沒多呼應,只說歡迎張志軍將來,可以到台灣走走。

The top officials responsible for cross-Taiwan Strait relations were in Nanjing today for a meeting that Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council minister described as “a day worth noting.” It was the first time that an incumbent MAC minister visited China. 

Wang Yu-chi, Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council minister, met his Chinese counterpart, Zhang Zhijun, today. It was their second meeting, following a brief visit on the sidelines of an APEC meeting last year. Today they were officially seated at the negotiating table.

Zhang Zhijun 
Taiwan Affairs Office Director
This is the second time I have met Minister Yu-chi. We hope that from today onward, we can continue to have frequent interactions and become good friends.

After Zhang omitted part of Wang Yu-chi’s official title, namely the organization he represents, Wang stepped forward to speak about the matter.

Wang Yu-chi 
MAC Minister 
One day the Mainland Affairs Council minister and the Taiwan Affairs Office director will be able to shake hands and talk, addressing each other by their official title.

Zhang used language favored among those who advocate unification.

Zhang Zhijun
Taiwan Affairs Office Director
I believe that as long as the two sides continue on the correct path of peaceful development, they will be able to move closer together. We are one family. Our closeness makes interaction a necessity.

There was no comment from Wang on this statement. But Wang did invite Zhang to visit Taiwan someday.

維中三振秀

去年底從菜鳥聯盟直升大聯盟的台灣左投王維中,今天在釀酒人隊的分組對抗賽首度登板投一局,王維中投了21球,飆出2次三振,沒有被擊出安打,其中一次三振還送給前國聯MVP巨砲「布朗」。


曾雅妮止跌

台灣高球好手曾雅妮,上週在泰國公開賽表現回穩,拿下並列第五名的戰績,最新的LPGA世界排名出爐,曾雅妮也從上週的45名升到第39名,曾雅妮正在新加坡積極備戰,有信心在明天開打的新加坡賽再拚好成績。


書豪戰國王

火箭與國王之戰,一哥哈登個人狂砍43分,是他生涯單場第二高分,下半季手感超冷的林書豪,替補上場攻下11分,最後火箭以129比103,擊敗國王。

Strong Performance

Toward the end of last year Taiwanese pitcher Wang Wei-chung ended up on people’s radars when he jumped from rookie ball directly to the major leagues. Today the 21-year-old lefty proved himself on the field during an intrasquad game. Wang threw 21 pitches over one inning. He didn’t give up any hits and struck out two, including former National League MVP Ryan Braun.

Yani Moves Up

Following her steep fall from the top, Taiwanese golfer Yani Tseng has begun to turn things around. Her fifth place finish at the Honda LPGA Thailand last week bumped her up from 45th to 39th in the world rankings. Tseng is training in Singapore ahead of the start of the HSBC Women’s Champions on Thursday.

Rockets Dump Kings

Jeremy Lin and the Houston Rockets faced the Sacramento Kings in a game that seemed over shortly after it began. James Harden poured in 43 points, second best of his career, while the Taiwanese-American Lin scored 11. It was a middling performance for Lin after a recent cold streak. The Rockets won 129-103.

丹麥有新研究,指出孕婦服用含乙醯胺酚(acetaminophen),例如泰諾(Tylenol)的止痛藥,會增加孩子罹患過動症的風險。

過去向來認為孕婦可以放心服用含乙醯胺酚(acetaminophen)的止痛藥,不過
該研究指出孩子罹患過動症的風險,將提高37%。但有其它專家指出,這項觀察只初步顯示兩者有關連,還需要進一步研究才能證實。

New research suggests that the use of acetaminophen by pregnant women may raise the risk of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in children. 

Expectant mothers have long been told that painkillers such as Tylenol are safe. But this study, which tracked 64,000 Danish women and their children, has thrown that perception into doubt.
