Creative Percussion and War Drum Prowess Displayed at the 2nd Yandi Shennong (Fire Emperor & Divine Farmer) National Drum Parade Championships
The Yandi Shennong (Fire Emperor & Divine Farmer) National Drum Parade Championship is the nation's largest traditional folk sporting event and hosts the greatest number of participating troupes. This year's competition took place at Qingyun Temple in Tashe District, Kaohsiung on May 24th and 25th.
Historically, the drum has played a vital role in keeping the tempo, establishing the rhythm, and enlivening the spirits of the dancers during traditional folk dance performances. Drummers gyrate and fling their limbs and torso about expressing their local body culture and traditions. The increasingly popular use of "drums" in "religious ceremonies" has had the effect of heightening this instrument's popularity in folk entertainment, while it also offers a medium to exhibit the power and beauty of the modern body through "percussion arts" performance. Nowadays, the drum parades play a central role in folk and religious ceremonial activities and represents a unique local cultural characteristic of Taiwan.
This year marks the second edition of the Yandi Shennong (Fire Emperor & Divine Farmer) National Drum Parade Championships with a full line up of 64 teams participating. In the Creative Percussion Arts Championship event each team is encouraged to fully express the diversity of modern creativity and further the development of elaborate and intricate percussion skills. The War Drum Championship event gets down into the roots and soil of Taiwan's religious ceremonies, showcasing the power and beauty of the body in the "war drum" competition.

第二屆炎帝神農盃全國鼓陣錦標賽展現戰鼓創意
全國最大、參賽團隊最多的傳統民俗體育活動「炎帝神農盃全國鼓陣錦標賽」，5月24日、25日在高雄大社的青雲宮舉行。
鼓在民間舞蹈裡歷史上經常扮演主要角色，掌控節奏並激發舞者的情緒。擊鼓者常透過非常豐富的肢體動作來體現當地鄉土的身體文化。隨著「鼓」與「宗教廟會」的接觸越來越頻繁，慢慢地在民間遊藝中被大量使用，也提供現代展現人體力與美之「鼓藝表演」。而鼓陣現今為民俗與廟會活動中相當重要的一種陣頭，成為非常具有台灣本土的鄉土特色。
今年「炎帝神農盃全國鼓陣錦標賽」是第二屆舉行，總計有64隊參賽，分別進行『創意鼓藝錦標賽』，希藉各團隊豐富多元的現代創意，來促進鼓陣技藝的精緻與優質化發展；『戰鼓錦標賽』，為臺灣廟會展現人體力與美最徹底最草根性的『戰鼓』競賽。

2014 Popcorn Taiwan Summer Baseball League Batter Up!
The 2014 Popcorn League, a Taiwan summer baseball league, will officially begin play on 24th May 2014 and continue up until 31st August 2014. Six top amateur baseball teams—Taiwan Cooperative Bank, Topco Folcons, Vee Taichung City, Taipower, National Sports Training Center, and Chii Lih Coral of Taitung—will be participating. The organizer, Chinese Taipei Baseball Association (CTBA), has recruited 24 U.S. Minor League Baseball (MiLB) players, distributed among these 6 teams via a draft lottery process, in efforts to strengthen the Popcorn League level of play. This will give local players greater opportunity to both play alongside and compete against foreign players, which will help to improve baseball talent.
The Popcorn League is classified as semi-professional level baseball competition, and is the first league of its kind in the history of Asian baseball to adopt the U.S. Major League Baseball operating model. The implementation of a league format similar to professional baseball and the broadcasting coverage by Videoland Television Network will help to strengthen local players' skills and competitiveness.

Students Exercise 150 Minutes/Week on Campus Plan
The SH150 (Sport & Health 150 Minutes) Plan is designed in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 of the National Sports Act stipulating that Schools at the High School Level and Below and the First Three Years of a Five-year Technical School Must Make Arrangements for Students, Outside of Physical Education Class, to Participate in a Minimum of 150 Minutes Per Week of Daily Sports and Exercise Activities at School. The objectives of this Plan include "students becoming adept in at least one sport," "improving physical fitness: by 2021 the proportion of students with moderate physical fitness reaching 60%," and "the proportion of students who regularly exercise reaching 90%." These initiatives are intended to cultivate students' athletic skills and promote exercise habits as a means of elevating the physical fitness of the nation's entire population.
Taipei Municipal Zhung-Shan Girls' High School, for example, enjoys a thriving campus sports and exercise atmosphere with students utilizing some of their spare time in between classes to play volleyball and basketball, doing aerobic exercises, and jogging among other activities. Through their participation, they are accumulating bonus points and nurturing a healthy mentality and regular exercise habits that can be practiced throughout life.Students also feel that getting enough exercise helps relieve stress, allows them to focus better, and improves learning efficiency. The Sports Administration anticipates the promotion of the SH150 Plan will enable youth to cultivate regular exercise habits and develop an appreciation for sports through a broad exposure to a variety of disciplines. This will provide the foundations for a lifelong involvement in sports and exercise.

學生每週在校運動150分鐘方案
SH150方案是依據國民體育法第6條第1項規定：｢高級中等以下學校及專科學校五年制前三年並應安排學生在校期間，除體育課程時數外，每日參與體育活動之時間，每週應達一百五十分鐘以上｣所設計。目標包括：｢學生至少學會一項運動技能｣、｢提升體適能：民國110年學生體適能中等比例者可達60%｣以及｢學生規律運動習慣比例提升至90%｣，希望學生培養運動技能與習慣，進而達到提升全民體適能的目的。
以中山女中為例，校內運動風氣相當地興盛，學生在下課時間會進行排球、有氧舞蹈、慢跑、籃球…等不同運動，同時可累積點數作為加分的獎勵，以養成規律運動、終身參與的習慣與態度；學生也認為，適時的運動流汗抒壓，更能集中注意力，使學習效果更好。體育署希望藉由SH150方案的推動，讓年輕朋友從小培養規律運動的習慣，同時透過接觸多元的運動項目，從中體會運動的樂趣並學習運動的精神。

No Cap Tax Exempt Status on Sports Development Donation Expenditures!
To encourage greater involvement in the sports industry by more enterprises, the Sports Administration has stipulated in Article 26 of the Sports Industry Development Act that corporate donations on sports can be listed as expenditure or loss with no cap on the amount thus reducing the amount of tax leviable. Eligible enterprises must meet the following five criteria: donate to sports associations registered with the government, nurture and support sports teams or athletes, promote sporting activities of enterprise employees, donate to government agencies and all levels of educational institutions to establish sports stadiums and facilities or purchase equipment, and purchase tickets to domestic sporting events for donation to students or disadvantaged groups through schools or non-profit organizations.
As tax season rolls around, the Sports Administration reminds enterprises not to forget to list your 2013 sports development donations as an expenditure or loss when filing your business income tax return. That way your enterprise will be able to fully take advantage of the tax savings for supporting our nation's sports industry.
The Sports Administration will continue working to implement the Promotion of Sports Corporate Sponsorship Plan, encouraging more enterprises to join the ranks supporting sports in our nation. Your contributions will help increase grassroots participation and promote the sports environment, allowing enterprises, athletes, and the government to join hands, uniting to create a healthier and more vibrant Taiwan!
