Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.
Tai-Ex opening
The Tai-Ex opened up 53-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,308
on turnover of 5.7-billion N-T.
The market bucked the regional downward trend and traded higher on Wednesday,
after tech stocks pushed the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq to more record highs on
Wall Street overnight.
Market watchers say the upwards momentum on the main board entered a third
day, as investors shrugged off the short-lived martial law period in South
Korea and amid continuing net purchases of stocks by foreign investors.

memorandums of cooperation in "smart medical care" and "zoo animal exchanges"

Taipei and Shanghai have taken turns hosting the forum every year since 2010.

UNESCO Lists Zinc Roof Restoration Techniques as Intangile Cultural Heritage
UNESCO has listed the restoration techniques for the zinc roofs of Paris as
an Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The art involves removing old pieces of zinc, then measuring and
custom-cutting new pieces using a Parisian folding machine, and assembling
and fixing the pieces onto the roof.
And the United Nations agency says "with nearly 80 percent of the roofs in
Paris covered in zinc, the city is a living archive (檔案) of these skills
that shape the unique identity of its urban landscape."
Roofers are hoping the UNESCO recognition will inspire others to join their
ranks and improve their working conditions.
