不少人為了省時間,會到超商買個便當微波加熱一下,就能打發,導致路邊賣便當做生意的產業,大受影響,業績下滑,老闆只好天天換菜色,變換口味,希望業績能起死回生。

拉開嗓門努力叫賣,中午用餐時間,路邊賣便當的老闆熱情招攬客人。

大方介紹菜色,五榖米飯,炒有機蔬菜,三菜一飯幾乎把便當盒給填滿,老闆每天精心換菜色,全是因為不少上班族轉往超商,買微波便當,讓他們的生意越來越難做。

[[路邊便當攤販 吳老闆]]
生意當然受到影響,下滑一到兩趴。

路邊便當攤販也抓準上班族趕時間,買了就走的概念,而且主打每天現煮,天天換口味。

[[民眾]]
(超商便當)吃膩了,因為他們的菜都一樣,這當然比較新鮮啊。

[[民眾]]
通常我會去比較衛生、現煮的商店買。

民眾看法兩極,但是面對超商的競爭,路邊賣便當的業者,也不得不用健康和有機的訴求,來尋求生存空間。

As workers pressed for time turn to convenience stores for meals, some sellers of the cheap Taiwanese mainstays known as “lunchboxes” are losing business. We spoke with one vendor in Taipei who is trying to beat the competition by selling a healthy roadside lunchbox. 

This seller of Thai-style lunchboxes uses his voice to attract lunchtime customers.

He introduces the ingredients. Between the five-grained rice and three vegetable dishes, the box is jam-packed. Every day he changes the dishes to make sure customers don’t get bored. Still, he is finding it difficult to compete with convenience stores and the microwaveable lunches they sell.

Lunchbox Vendor
Of course this has an effect on business. I’d say the impact is about 10 or 20 percent.

The vendor stations himself roadside at times when workers are on meal breaks. Customers can quickly buy food that is prepared fresh daily.

“I’m sick of (convenience store) meals. Their food is all the same, and of course this is fresher.”

“I usually would go to a more hygienic store with freshly prepared meals.”

Not all customers are open to the roadside lunchboxes. But, faced with competition from convenience stores, this vendor has created a healthy, organic product that can still sell.

在2007年宣布捐贈150億給台大,建立全國最大癌症醫療中心的郭台銘,今天再度和台大合作,要向全球發出爭才計畫,希望替台灣的生醫領域爭取至少5位諾貝爾級的高階人才和數百位專家!

郭台銘和台大校長楊泮池,一起啟動全球"爭才令",因為三月他贊助成立的永齡生醫工程館完工啟用。

[[鴻海董事長 郭台銘]]
“預計要爭取到至少五名等同,諾貝爾級的研發學者,與數百名專業研究領域以內,學有專精的人才”

爭取全球生醫界的頂尖人才,郭台銘目標是要打造華人第一的癌症醫療中心。

[[鴻海董事長 郭台銘]]
“未來在癌醫中心醫院落成後,我們在設備、技術、人才、研發,全方位服務,台灣社會成為華人社會第一,並引領全球的先進癌醫學,研究預防的治療中心。”

鴻海旗下的永齡基金會2007年捐贈台大150億,其中100億用來設癌症醫院,50億元作為「永齡生醫工程館」,進行細胞治療、預防醫學、智慧醫院研究。

Hon Hai Chairman Terry Gou donated NT$15 billion to National Taiwan University six years ago to build a cancer hospital. Today, Gou again joined with the school, this time to recruit Nobel Laureate talent to staff a biomedical engineering center tied to the cancer facility. 

Terry Gou and National Taiwan University President Yang Pan-chyr together launched a global “talent call” for people to man the school’s YongLin Biomedical Engineering Center, expected to be completed in March.

Terry Gou
Hon Hai Chairman
We want to recruit at least five Nobel Laureate level research scholars and hundreds of people with expertise in specialized research fields.

In going after the world’s top biomedical talent, Gou wants to create the leading cancer center in the Chinese-speaking world. 

Terry Gou
Hon Hai Chairman
In the future, after the cancer center becomes a reality, we want it to be No. 1 in the Chinese community in terms of equipment, talent, research and services, and also create a treatment center that leads the world in advanced cancer science and prevention research. 

The Hon Hai Group’s YongLin Foundation donated NT$15 billion to National Taiwan University in 2007. Of that NT$10 billion was for the cancer hospital and NT$5 billion was for the YongLin Biomedical Engineering Center to conduct research into cell therapy, preventive medicine and smart hospitals.

eTag頻頻出包,一早還有人前往交通部抗議,要求將eTag收歸國營。而先前遠通電收聲稱APP遭駭客惡意攻擊達82億次,但行政院資安會調查報告出爐,確認當機是APP程式設計有問題,才會無法應付龐大流量,APP被"駭"是假的。

一早就有人高舉看板到交通部前抗議,痛批遠通頻頻出包,決定要向部長送上陳情書,要求政府收回經營。

[[新青年正義連線 黃智賢]]
不管是他按照合約,應該上路的時程,不管是裝機率沒達到效果,他每一條都違約了,你不照合約走 當然把權力收回來,權力自始至終在交通部手裡,這是可以收歸國有的。

eTag正式上路後,儲值、感應扣款錯誤問題接二連三外,問題還不只這樁。

當初國道計程才上路,eTag系統就當機,遠通電收把錯推給駭客,不過,立委爆料,其實是遠通電收自己的錯。

[[立委(國) 羅淑蕾]]
他們(資安會)在一月十三號有到遠通去做測試,他們推測應該是伺服器的數據不足,就代表機器有問題、容量有問題,被入侵82億次他們說不可能,也就是說遠通騙人嘛。

羅淑蕾秀出這份行政院資安會的會報,其實是Android系統使用者註冊失敗仍繼續連線,系統無法負荷當時一秒60萬次的連網需求,才會當機。

Taiwan’s electronic freeway toll collection system is off to a bumpy start, and calls emerged Thursday for the government to take back control from its private operator. The operator, Far Eastern Electronic Toll Collection, was already under fire after its claim that a hacker caused a breakdown in the system was found to be false. 

Protesters gathered outside the Transportation Ministry this morning to criticize Far Eastern’s management of the toll collection system and appeal for the government to take it over.

Huang Chih-hsien
New Youth Justice Alliance
Whether it was the system’s start-up date, or the eTag’s installation rate falling short, Far Eastern has violated every clause in its contract. If you violate the contract, then of course the rights to the system can be taken back. The authority rests with the Transportation Ministry. The system can be returned to the country.

Since the distance-based toll collection eTag system was launched on Dec. 30, problems with the sensors have led to overcharging for tolls. Even worse….

when the eTag system suffered a computer crash on Jan. 1, Far Eastern blamed it on hackers. But a legislator said the crash was caused by Far Eastern itself. 

Lo Shu-lei
KMT Legislator
The Cabinet’s Information and Communication Security Technology Center conducted tests at Far Eastern facilities on Jan. 13. They determined that the server’s capacity was inadequate, indicating mechanical failure, and said it could not have been caused by malicious hackers entering the system 82 million times. In other words, Far Eastern was lying.

The Security Technology Center report disclosed by the legislator said the culprit was a problem in the company’s sign-up app that kept feeding incomplete applications through the system once a second. That resulted in an overwhelming 60,000 hits per second, the report said, causing the system to crash.

15日才獲得黨提名,確定代表民進黨參選新北市長的游錫?,隨即展開攻勢,把砲口對準朱立倫!他質疑,朱立倫當年提出的政見”三環三線”,很多地方沒有動工,根本是一場騙局,但朱立倫強調,捷運本來就是一條一條蓋,絕對會努力興建。

帶著議員、喊著口號,民進黨新北市長參選人游錫?,痛批新北市長朱立倫三年前參選時,喊出的”三環三線,我能實現”,根本是一場騙局,因為捷運的主導權是在台北市長手上。

[[民進黨新北市長參選人 游錫?]]
“捷運的權責,不在新北市長的手裡””

以目前進度來說,包括橘色第1環的南環、北環段,綠色第2環的萬大線,藍色第3環的三鶯線,以及安坑線、汐止民生線和淡海輕軌,全都還在規劃階段。

不過朱立倫強調,”三環三線”已經逐步推動。

[[新北市長 朱立倫]]
“有一部分已經通車了,有一部分正在興建當中。對民眾來講,很重要的就是一條一條趕快加速來完成,三環三線是新北市民,以及大台北民眾共同的心願,我們會全力來推動”

選戰開打,〝三環三線〞成為雙方攻防的第一波焦點。

A day after former premier Yu Shyi-kun got the DPP’s nomination for the New Taipei mayoral race, he went on the attack against the incumbent. Yu accused Mayor Eric Chu of breaking a promise to build several new subway lines in New Taipei, a charge Chu rejected. 

Joined by city councilmen chanting slogans, DPP New Taipei mayoral candidate Yu Shyi-kun took aim at incumbent mayor Eric Chu. He said Chu’s pledge in 2010 to add “3 rings and 3 lines” to the Greater Taipei subway system was a lie because the subway system is managed by the city of Taipei, not New Taipei.

Yu Shyi-kun
DPP New Taipei Mayoral Nominee
The authority over the metro system is not in the hands of the New Taipei mayor.

The three rings include an orange line around the periphery of Taipei, a green line into Shulin and a blue line to Sanxia and Yingge. The planned single lines are to Ankeng to the south, Xizhi to the north and Danhai to the northwest. To date, most are still in the planning stages.

But Chu stressed that the “3 rings and 3 lines” have already moved forward.

Eric Chu
New Taipei Mayor
Some parts have already opened, and some are being built. What’s important to the public is that lines are completed one by one as quickly as possible. The “3 rings, 3 lines” plan is the hope of New Taipei and Greater Taipei residents. We will do our best to push them forward. 

Yu ‘s salvo was just the first of what is likely to be many in a campaign for an election that will not be held until late this year.

池上花海
台東池上,因為金城武拍廣告,變成熱門景點,不過原本廣告當中,伯朗大道兩旁是綠油油的稻田,最近因為休耕,農民種了一大片油菜花田,將近上千公頃面積,一片金黃色花海,美不勝收。

海島有花海
以往都是在夏天湧人觀光人潮的澎湖,現在也推出冬季旅遊,其中今年澎湖還有花海可以欣賞,原來是農改場澎湖分場,利用休耕時的農地來種花,五顏六色各式花朵,目前都在盛開中,成為澎湖冬天的一大亮點。

梅花開滿山
嘉義的梅山鄉,以盛產梅花聞名,這裡的梅花,往年大抵在一月底才會盛開,不過今年因為幾波寒流影響,梅花提早開花,現在到梅山公園,遠看就像樹梢上積了雪一樣,農業單位估計,這裡的梅花大概在農曆年前就會開始凋謝。

Beautiful Taitung
A commercial involving the Taiwanese-Japanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro helped make Chihshang Township, Taitung a popular tourist destination. The filming location, Bo Lang Boulevard, was once fallow on both sides. Farmers recently planted canola flowers to turn nearly 1,000 hectares into a golden yellow sea of flowers.

Penghu Flowers 
Penghu has launched a winter tourism campaign to attract visitors during low season. It focuses on fields of flowers growing on fallow fields overseen by the Kaohsiung Agricultural Research and Extension Station. The flowers add extraordinary color to the outlying island chain. 

Plum Blossoms
Chiayi’s Meishan Township is known for its plum blossoms, which typically bloom at the end of January. Successive waves of cold streams led to an early flowering this year. Meishan Park’s trees appear to be snow covered, though the sight is actually plum blossoms. Agricultural officials predict the blossoms will begin to wither before Lunar New Year.
