3 brothers killed in Miramar family feud

By Christine Chou ,The China Post

                 

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- A man, surnamed Huang, fatally shot his two elder brothers in the head before taking his own life, allegedly after quarrelling over a disputed inheritance, said local police yesterday.

The Huang brothers worked in their family business, the major meat distributor Mayfull Foods Corp. (美福肉品), in local markets. They are descendants of the Huang family behind the famed hotel and retail empire, Miramar Group (美麗華集團).

The shootings took place at the company headquarters in Taipei's Neihu District, where six brothers were suspected to have gathered in a conference room to discuss how to split an inheritance left by their father, the late tycoon Huang Jung-tu (黃榮圖), the police said.

Huang Ming-te (黃明德), the fourth son in the family, 54, allegedly shot his older brother Huang Ming-huang (黃明煌), the second-oldest son, in the head, after Ming-huang had provoked him in a quarrel. Another older brother Huang Ming-jen (黃明仁), the third-oldest son, — the current Chairman of Mayfull Foods Corp. — rushed forward to stop him, and was also shot dead on the spot, said police after a preliminary investigation.

Police arrived after receiving a call from the other three brothers who also attended the meeting, and had fled the scene earlier. The police found that Huang Ming-te was going to shoot himself and tried to persuade him from committing suicide. Huang ended up putting a bullet through his head and fell from the rooftop of the 7-story building. He was later declared dead at the Tri-Service General Hospital in Neihu, police stated.

The police declined to provide further details of the inheritance dispute until the investigation is completed.

'Family Misfortune'

Huang Ming-tang (黃明堂), the fifth son in the family, later remarked that "misfortune has fallen onto our family."

He declined to comment on any details, but emphasized that the reason for their argument was "a family matter" and had nothing to do with the company. He said he had just lost three brothers, and there are many things he had to take care of, so he will leave the investigation to the police.

Benefits of Being a Morning Person  By Mikey Rox

Increased Productivity

Whenever I wake up early and start working right away, I get more done and the day seems to go by faster. Plus, I don’t have to rush. Waking up at 6 a.m. instead of 9 a.m. means that I have three extra hours before the calls and e-mails start flooding in, leaving me with a window of opportunity to actually concentrate.

Ample Time for Exercise

If you follow my posts, you know that I’m not a fan of exercise any time of day, but I must confess that it’s easier to motivate myself to get in a workout before I start working for a couple reasons. The first benefit to exercising early is that I don’t have to shower beforehand. I hit the gym looking and smelling like I just woke up, put in my time, and then get dressed and ready to greet the day.

It’s Healthier

Of course there’s the benefit of exercise, but getting up early also leaves you time to have breakfast — the most important meal of the day. Eating a balanced breakfast will give you the energy you need to stay productive and ward off those hunger pangs that send you to the vending machine before lunchtime.

Reasons To Be Proud Of Being A Night Owl       By Renee Jacques

Night owls might have a higher IQ.

Yet, while night owls may have a higher IQ, those who wake up in the morning may be in a better position for success. Christoph Randler, a biology professor at the University of Education in Heidelberg, asked 367 students about the time of day they felt most active. Randler found that "a higher percentage of the morning people agreed with statements that indicate proactivity."

People who work at night appear to be more creative.

Researchers from the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Milan found that night people are more likely to develop original and creative solutions to problems than morning people. Marina Giampietro, the lead author of the study, hypothesizes that night owls might be more creative because staying up late "may encourage the development of a non-conventional spirit and of the ability to find alternative and original solutions.”
