周董婚禮
Jay Chou marries at a fairy-tale wedding in England  straitstimes By Foong Woei Wan

Jay Chou marries at a fairy-tale wedding in England, complete with a song he wrote for the big day

In the end, thanks to a dash of time-zone magic, pop king Jay Chou kept both of his promises when he married model Hannah Quinlivan in a fairy-tale wedding in Yorkshire, northern England, on Saturday afternoon, the eve of his 36th birthday.

For years, he said he would be married at age 35. Late last year, after confirming his four-year relationship with Quinlivan, 21, he said his 36th birthday would be his wedding day.

He managed to do both, kind of, at a ceremony that took place in Selby Abbey, a church dating to the 11th century, at about 3.30pm, said Taiwan Apple Daily, around midnight back in his native Taipei.

The bride, in a white Tudor-inspired dress by Taiwanese boutique Sophia Weddings with a heart-shaped cutout on the back, was led down the aisle by her Australian father, who placed her hand in the groom's, said the report. Chou's parents, who are divorced, were among the group of about 50 family members and friends at the church.

A Taiwanese pastor performed the ceremony, and Quinlivan was moved to tears as she exchanged rings and vows with Chou.

The groom composed a song, which was played by a string orchestra at the ceremony, said United Daily News.

Two of Chou's good friends, The Drifters singer Darren and fitness coach Hulk, were the groomsmen. The bridesmaids were actresses Beatrice Fang and Fion Sun.

In interviews before the wedding, Chou said he chose Quinlivan as his partner because "being together for four years isn't an easy thing". He said he was serious about previous girlfriends - who include singer Jolin Tsai - but the relationships would end after two to three years, reported China Times.

Although he is 14 years older than Quinlivan, "my mental age is about the same as hers and we just get along like children". The only thing they disagree on is movies, because they like different genres, but she still asks him first if he wants to watch a certain movie with her, before seeing it with her friends.

The wedding was followed by dinner at a hotel, then a party at Castle Howard, which Chou envisioned as a concert featuring a symphony and a rock band.

Apple Daily estimated the cost of the wedding at NT$23 million (S$1 million), and said it was the most extravagant wedding in Taiwanese entertainment.

為何感冒/雞流感
What causes the common cold? (howstuffworks)

When someone says, "I have a cold," what he or she means is, "There is something in my body that is causing me to have the set of symptoms that we call a 'cold.'" The set of symptoms normally includes things like a runny nose, sneezing, coughing, "chills" and a headache. It does not include a fever -- normally, if there is a fever it's called "the flu."

There are many different viruses that can cause cold symptoms, but about half of the time a cold is caused by a class of viruses called rhinoviruses.

The rhinovirus gets into the cells lining your nose and starts reproducing. It arrives from other people -- it is not cold weather that causes a cold, but the fact that cold weather causes people to congregate together indoors, which makes transmission of the virus easier. The virus generally moves from someone else's hands to your hands (either directly or through some intermediate surface like a door knob), and from your hands into your nose or eyes.

Your body reacts to the presence of the virus with its immune system. The article How Your Immune System Works talks about infectious diseases and how your immune system deals with them. In the case of a cold, the immune system opens up blood vessels through inflammation and also increases mucus secretions. These two processes give you the runny nose and the stuffy feeling. The irritation caused by the virus and all of the fluid causes sneezing. If the virus makes it into the cells lining the lungs, then they start producing fluid and mucus as well, which produces the cough.

As the immune system gears up over several days and fights the virus, the mucus thickens and changes color with dead cells (a form of pus, really). Eventually, the immune system eliminates the virus completely and you are well again!
Avian Influenza
Taiwan is continuing to battle multiple avian influenza outbreaks, including some involving what is described as a new strain of H5N3, and outbreaks have also hit Japan and Nigeria, according to media and government reports.
