寒流來襲，氣象局破天荒的第一次發佈全國性低溫特報，今天清晨最低溫出現在淡水7.5度，還有嘉義7.6度，白天西半部雖然溫度稍微回升，不過因為雲量少，輻射冷卻強，今天晚上到明天清晨，低溫又會降到8度左右，要等到明天白天，寒流威力減弱, 溫度才會回升。

寒流來襲，一大清早，北投公共溫泉就湧入不少民眾, 浴池裡到處都是人。

氣象局罕見的針對全台都發低溫特報,今天清晨平地最低溫，出現在淡水7.5度。
嘉義也只有7.6度。

這波寒流，會持續影響台灣到明天清晨，白天高壓遠離，溫度會慢慢回升，

[[中央氣象局預報員 謝佩芸]]
“西半部在清晨的時候，輻射冷卻效應都會特別強，西半部地區，以及宜蘭還有金門馬祖，仍然會出現10度以下低溫，各地天氣狀況大致上都是比較穩定”

此外這兩天中國的霧霾襲台，導致不少民眾出現過敏等症狀。環保署預報，雲嘉南地區明天的空氣品質，仍可能達到不良等級，民眾外出最好戴口罩。

Temperatures will rise daytime Thursday (2014/01/22)

For the first time in its history, the Central Weather Bureau issued a nationwide low temperature warning. Forecasters say lows will remain in the single digits in many parts of Taiwan early tomorrow morning, but conditions will improve in the daytime. 

Early this morning, the hot springs of Beitou were filled with people hoping to beat the chill of the cold stream.

For the first time, the weather bureau issued a nationwide low temperature warning. The lowest temperature in plains regions was recorded in the early morning in Tamsui, New Taipei. It was just 7.5 degrees. In Chiayi, the mercury dropped to 7.6 degrees.

This cold stream will linger until tomorrow morning. In the daytime, the movement of a high-pressure system away from Taiwan will allow temperatures to gradually rise.

台積電董事長張忠謀今天談到台灣人才缺乏的問題，表示年輕人的迷思跟中國對人才的開放態度，讓台灣面臨基層、中層、高層都沒有人才的困境。

台積電董事長張忠謀出席天下經濟論壇，演講時道出台灣悶經濟的根本問題，其實和人才缺乏有關。

[[台積電董事長 張忠謀]]
“要企業轉型升級，要企業競爭力加強，這都變成口頭禪了，沒有人才的話一個都做不成”

張忠謀認為，台灣人才缺乏已經不是單一層面的問題，而是全面的人力缺乏，年輕人的迷思，讓企業缺乏基層人才。

[[台積電董事長 張忠謀]]
“很多很多年輕人，都為了要進名校而讀書，為了要學位而讀書，這樣子讀書，是讀不出人才來的”

缺乏中階和高階領導人才，是因為兩岸人才競爭加劇，中國政府對人才的開放態度，使台灣面臨挑戰。

[[台積電董事長 張忠謀]]
“我們人才要開放，國外好人才要讓他進來，台灣是政治很開放，別的都不開放了”

張忠謀引述1978年，中國前領導人鄧小平談話：「人才要開放、資金要開放、技術要開放、連制度都要開放」，呼籲政府要趕緊動起來。

TSMC chairman says lack of talent at all levels holding back Taiwan’s economy (2014/01/22)

The government’s statistics bureau has announced that real monthly earnings fell in the first 11 months of 2013 from a year earlier. Economists have many theories to explain Taiwan’s stagnant wages and sluggish economy. Today Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Chairman Morris Chang attributed these problems to a skill shortage and strict rules that keep foreigners out of the workforce. 

While speaking at a CommonWealth Economic Forum, TSMC Chairman Morris Chang said that Taiwan’s fundamental economic problem may be related to a skill shortage.

Morris Chang 
TSMC Chairman
When it comes to transforming and upgrading businesses or strengthening competitiveness we have a saying: if the talent isn’t there, nothing can be accomplished.

Chang believes that Taiwan lacks skilled employees at all levels. He also says that young people who lack interest in the majors they choose fail to develop important skills.

由經建會、研考會和工程會整併而成的「國發會」上午正式揭牌，並進行首任主委"管中閔"的佈達儀式，管中閔說社會瀰漫低迷氣氛，而鄰近國家似乎大步向前，大家的焦慮和抱怨愈來愈多，這樣的負向循環必須打破！

國家發展委員會正式揭牌成立，馬總統今天也致詞勉勵。

[[總統 馬英九]]
“我們希望，未來要擔任各部會的潤滑劑，跟催化劑的角色，國發會在管主委的領導之下，全力以赴，"該管的管，不該管的不要管"，讓我們經濟往前邁進”

管中閔出任也擘畫了台灣未來的發展。

[[國發會主委 管中閔]]
“過去幾年來社會上，似乎瀰漫著低迷氣氛，社會因為原地打轉，無法前進，在此同時，我們鄰近國家似乎都精神抖擻的大步向前，當他們的步伐越快， 我們的焦慮就越深， 抱怨爭執也就越多， 我認為這樣的負向循環必須打破

國發會整併經建會、研考會和工程會部分業務，責任重大，藍綠立委也給出建議。

[[黃立委(民) 黃偉哲]]
“馬屁少拍啦，工作多做，嘴巴少講，現在的國發會，還是要把經濟給帶起來”

[[立委(國) 丁守中]]
“管主委應該要多管事，各方面的事情都要了解，而且要跟民間多溝通，讓政策的透明度，可信度，支持度，都能夠提高”

管中閔也是已步入歷史的經建會末任主委。

與歐洲僑界餐敘 民進黨黨主席蘇貞昌大讚德國的綠能政策 。

[[民進黨主席 蘇貞昌]]
“梅克爾總理在看到，日本發生福島核災後，就堅定廢核態度，並且以政策以及法令等等，來鼓勵民間發展再生能源，短短十年間從6%增加到20%，這些做法，都值得台灣學習借鏡”

蘇貞昌也呼籲馬政府，不能把發展經濟全仰賴中國。

[[民進黨主席 蘇貞昌]]
“政策也不要過度偏重，投資中國只注重中國，應該注重全世界，尤其是像歐盟歐洲這種先進國家，其實我們應該多多跟他們有更密切的往來”

兩天柏林參訪，蘇貞昌說見到希望會面的重要人士，積極拼政黨外交，也為未來民進黨重返執政做準備。蘇貞昌也將到英國倫敦大學亞非學院演講

DPP chairman urges President Ma to look more toward Europe, less toward China (2014/01/22)

DPP Chairman Su Tseng-chang is in Europe to meet with political leaders and supporters living abroad. In Berlin, Su praised Germany’s movement away from nuclear power. He also urged the Ma Ying-jeou administration to lean more toward Europe and less toward China. 

While meeting with Taiwanese living in Europe, Su praised Germany’s energy policy.

Su Tseng-chang
DPP Chairman
After Chancellor Merkel saw the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan, she decided that nuclear power should be abandoned. She used policy and laws to encourage the private sector to develop renewable energy. In just 10 years, Germany went from 6 to 20 percent renewable energy on its electricity grid. Its methods are worthy of study in Taiwan.

Su urged the Ma administration to not only rely on China when developing the economy.

創世基金會連續舉辦24年的寒士尾牙宴，今天登場，全台15個地方同步席開3000桌，邀請了三萬名街友、獨居老人、單親媽媽提早過年。

12點一到，豪華龍蝦冷盤先登場，接著還有熱騰騰的豬蹄膀、佛跳牆接棒。

[[街友]]
“比往年好多了，有進步很多，今年菜色都是熱的，去年那個雞肉都是冰凍的”

去年在中正紀念堂舉辦，受限不能開火烹飪，被嫌菜涼掉。今年創世基金會轉戰能用火的南港停車場，街友以及獨居老人都是座上賓。

[[街友 王先生]]
“回到台灣的時候，幫人家做保1500萬，結果搞得台北市的房子都被拍賣掉，拍賣600萬都還不夠還債，當街友當然很不好過，你整天三餐都是問題”

受到不景氣的影響，募款少很多，寒士尾牙宴差點開天窗。

[[創世基金會創辦人 曹慶]]
“人民荷包扁扁的，叫他來幫助，本身也會有困難，就只能把募款方式擴大，擴大到十塊錢，五塊錢都來發動募捐”

連藝人也來共襄盛舉，讓弱勢族群，在寒冷的冬天，也能享受溫暖。

Local foundation puts on series of Lunar New Year feasts for the disadvantaged (2014/01/23)

For 24 years the Genesis Social Welfare Foundation has held Lunar New Year banquets for the homeless and other disadvantaged groups. Today it provided a 3,000-table feast for 30,000 people, spread out among 15 locations nationwide. 

Just after noon today, chilled lobster was served. Next came pork shank and the classic Chinese soup known as “Buddha jumps over the wall.”

Homeless Person
This is much better than past years. It has really improved and is all hot. Last year the chicken was frozen.

Restrictions on open flames at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall made it difficult to keep the dishes warm at the Taipei banquet last year. This year the Genesis Social Welfare Foundation switched to a parking lot in Nangang where there wasn’t the same problem. Among the many guests were homeless people and seniors who live alone.
