How do you decide what color eyes to have? If you are like most people, your eye color is not something you choose every day, like your shoes or which ribbon to put in your hair.
However, for people who wear contact lenses, the choice may be that simple. Many people wear contact lenses if they have trouble with their vision. Contact lenses can often be worn instead of glasses. However, these days many contact lenses can be worn just for fun, even if you have no trouble seeing things clearly.
People today who wear contact lenses have many choices. They can have blue or green eyes, or even eyes that are pink or purple! In fact, you don't even have to choose just one color. The woman in this picture is wearing two different contact lenses. One looks like a soccer ball and one is decorated with Germany's national colors. (Kayleen Hartman, Staff writer)

你如何決定眼睛要變成什麼顏色?如果你和多數人相同,就不會像選鞋子或綁頭髮的緞帶一樣,每天變化眼睛的顏色。
然而,對戴隱形眼鏡的人來說,選擇就可以這麼簡單。許多視力有問題的人就會戴隱形眼鏡,而不戴眼鏡。不過如今就算你視力良好,也能純粹為了好玩而戴隱形眼鏡。
今日戴隱形眼鏡的人有很多選擇,能有藍眼睛、綠眼睛,甚至粉紅或紫色的眼睛,事實上,你還能挑選一種以上的顏色。照片中的女子戴著兩只不同樣式的隱形眼鏡,一只看起來像足球,另一只則是有德國國旗的顏色。 (翻譯:鄭湘儀)

Let’s explore another delicacy primarily known to Tainan locals: floating milkfish in thick soup. Despite its peculiar name, this dish is another Tainan specialty that showcases the popularity of milkfish, which is made into fish paste and served in thick soup. Unlike the version with tutuo fish, which also adds other ingredients to its thick soup, the floating milkfish version primarily features the “floating fish” itself in its thick soup, ensuring that the fish paste remains the star of the dish. 讓我們來探索另一道台南人熟悉的美食:浮水魚羹。這道菜名奇特的美食,再再展現了台南虱目魚料理的多樣。浮水魚羹是用虱目魚漿做成的羹品,雖然和𩵚魠魚羹一樣是羹湯,但不像𩵚魠魚羹會在湯中加入其他食材,而是讓虱目魚漿成為這道料理的主角。 peculiar (adj.) 獨特的;古怪的 The belly of a milkfish is considered the most

HOW IS EMBRYO FREEZING USED IN IVF? IVF uses high doses of hormones to stimulate ovaries to produce as many eggs as possible. Once
A situation puzzle is a game in which one person describes a scenario and asks the players to explain it. The situation is deliberately lacking in details, but the players may acquire more information by asking questions — however, these can only be answered with “yes” or “no.” A player wins by describing the approximate events that led up to the situation. To do so, they must use a blend of logical and lateral thinking. A famous example of this is sometimes known as “Turtle Soup.” Here’s the riddle: “A man in a restaurant orders turtle soup, tastes it
