Central Market in Taitung City is a busy area, with a lot of scooter drivers parking illegally for the sake of their own convenience. Taitung police are enforcing the law, tightening controls on the streets around the market. Last year, they issued 256 tickets for illegal parking, and 237 of those, — more than 90 percent — were issued for parking on the sidewalk. Every day between 7am and noon, the local police station, the Zhongxing station, schedules a fixed city patrol duty, instructing traffic police to tow any vehicles seriously affecting traffic orderliness and calling on the general public to show self-discipline.
The traffic section at the Taitung police precinct say that the Central Market, which is located in the city center, is an important source of daily necessities for the general public. Many people trying to save time as they go shopping park their scooters in car parking spaces, and when drivers cannot park their cars, traffic chaos ensues. Police will continue to schedule a fixed city patrol duty focusing on vehicles driving against the traffic, parking too far away from the side of the road or double parking, all in order to promote smooth traffic flow.

Computex, Asia’s biggest electronics conference, kicked off Monday in Taipei, and as in years past drew industry chieftains from Nvidia Corp.’s Jensen Huang and Qualcomm Inc.’s Cristiano Amon to Young Liu of Foxconn, which makes the bulk of the world’s iPhones and Nvidia servers. But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing. This year’s exhibition will of course feature the hardware required to bring artificial intelligence to life.
For many people, allergies are an all-too-familiar annoyance. The constant sneezing, itching, and watery eyes are just a few clear signs of allergies, which is a surprisingly common condition affecting millions worldwide. But what exactly triggers these reactions, and how can we cope with them? Allergies arise from a misunderstanding between our immune system and seemingly harmless substances.
