Better eTag Oversight (2014/01/20)

Three weeks into fully electronic toll collection on the nation’s freeways, motorists are still dissatisfied with the eTag system. Today the National Freeway Bureau announced that it will invite private sector experts to serve as eTag monitors. 

The bureau will formulate a set of key performance indicators for the monitors to use. For a three-month period starting from Jan. 30, if eTag errors exceed the allowed rate, the company that runs the system can be fined up to NT$500,000 a day.

Wang to Wear 40 (2014/01/21)

According to the Twitter feed of MLB Jersey Numbers, Taiwanese pitcher Wang Chien-ming will wear number 40 this season. That is the same number Wang wore years ago when he emerged as the ace of the New York Yankees staff. 

Since those years in New York, Wang’s career has taken a turn for the worse. He is now part of the Cincinnati Reds organization and will report to spring training in the middle of next month. His goal is to make the Reds’ opening day roster.

中央氣象局持續發佈低溫特報，從今天晚間到周四清晨，中部以北低溫下探八度。而冷氣團來襲，也讓"發熱衣"業者，賺了一筆寒流財。

周二一早，台北就吹起陣陣強風，緊接著晚上寒流發威，氣象局發布了低溫和強風雙警報。

[[氣象局簡任技正 伍婉華]]
這波寒流從今天，會一直影響到星期四清晨，尤其在西部沿海空曠地區，還是可能出現8度左右的低溫，有時候陣風也會到9到10級，那麼在強風影響之下，體感的感受上，溫度是很冷的。

寒流也為發熱衣業者帶來商機，透過網路銷售，潤泰全球統計去年冬季11月到1月底，就賣出10萬件，今年可望再度刷新業績。

[[業者 蒲紅秀]]
去年的最低溫，可能也在10度上下而已，今年的最低溫已經到7、8度，又已經有好幾波寒流，今年預期的總銷售量，會大過於去年的2倍。

不僅網路熱銷，另外康是美和UNIQLO的發熱衣，提前在12月底就賣到缺貨。

7-Eleven去年也繳出100萬件亮眼成績，發熱衣業者，隨著冷氣團腳步，熱賣發財。

Clothing retailers benefit from this latest cold spell (2014/01/21)

As many people fret about this latest cold spell, clothing retailers have reason to cheer. Both brick and mortar outlets and online retailers say that sales of heat generating clothes have risen significantly. 

The Tuesday chill in Taipei began with strong winds in the morning that were followed by the arrival of a cold stream in the evening. The Central Weather Bureau has issued both low temperature and wind warnings.

Effects of this cold stream will be felt from today to early Thursday morning. They will be particularly strong in rural coastal areas on the west coast, where lows could dip to about 8 degrees. Wind gusts could reach level 9 or 10, leading to an intense wind chill.

A beneficiary of the inclement weather is sellers of heat generating clothing. Ruentex Industries says it sold 100,000 articles of the high-tech clothing online last winter and expects to do better this year.

天氣一冷，流感就發威，這個月才短短20天的時間，全國累計併發症病例比起去年同期暴增10倍。更讓人擔心的是，上海傳出首例醫師感染H7N9禽流感死亡的病例，國內醫師憂心，萬一確定是群聚感染，就代表人傳人可能性提高。

小兒科醫師一早就忙翻了，診所裡滿滿都是爸媽帶小朋友來看診。

根據統計，今年至今，流感併發症累計達到165例，比起去年同期高出超過10倍，台灣不但要忙著應付流感，還要面對中國H7N9禽流感疫情，除了今天出現第一例境外移入H7N9死亡個案，上海也傳出首例醫師感染H7N9禽流感死亡的病例。

[[台大醫院兒童感染科主任 黃立民]]
“如果他是院內感染，也告訴我們說這個疫情，第一個沒有得到好的控制，第二個這個病毒似乎，往人傳人這條路又邁了一步，它已經可以從病人傳給他的醫生，假設這是院內感染的話，那這個就跟SARS越來越像了”

不過根據中國消息，死亡醫生生前曾住在父母家中，而隔壁鄰居有養鴿子；醫院附近也有一家設有活禽交易的傳統市場。因此初步判定，此次H7N9傳染途徑，依舊是由禽到人。

Taiwan faces dual threat of traditional flu and H7N9 bird flu (2014/01/21)

A spate of flu cases this month has health officials concerned. Another worry is the spread of H7N9 bird flu, which claimed the life of a Chinese tourist in Taiwan yesterday. 

Early in the morning, this pediatrician’s clinic was full of parents seeking medical attention for their children.
