A man robbing a bank in the US made a big mistake. He demanded the money by writing a note on one of his own checks.
Not surprisingly, he was soon caught.
Forest Kelly Bissonnette, 27, tried to scribble out his name on the check. He then handed the note to a teller on Sep. 5 at the bank in Englewood, Colorado.
"We could still make [his name] out even though he blacked it out," FBI agent Rene VonderHaar said. Nearly US$5,000 (NT$165,823) was taken in the robbery.
A video from the bank showed a suspect who looks like Bissonnette. Also, a man called the police. He said a man named Forest Kelly had told him he got US$5,000 in a bank robbery.

在美國有一個銀行搶匪犯了一個天大的錯誤。他寫了一張便條要求銀行行員把錢交出來,而這張便條竟然是他自己的支票。
不出所料,他很快就被逮捕了。
佛里斯.凱力.畢索奈,今年二十七歲,在他的支票上亂畫塗掉自己的名字。然後在九月五日,他到科羅拉多州恩格爾伍德市的一間銀行,將這張紙條遞給行員。
「雖然他將名字的部份塗黑,但我們仍可以清楚地辨識他的名字,」美國聯邦調查局探員瑞恩:范德哈爾說。這次搶劫的損失將近有五千美元(新台幣十六萬五千八百二十三元)。
被搶銀行提供的監視錄影帶中發現一名和畢索奈十分相似的嫌犯。另外,有一名男子報警檢舉,指稱一名名叫佛里斯.凱力的男子告訴他,在一次銀行搶劫中得手五千美元。
畢索奈根本就是自投羅網。

It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice. Japanese people have enjoyed noodles for over 1,000 years. The first noodles came from China and were introduced around 800 CE. As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon.

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once

To fully experience noodles like a local on your next visit to Japan, consider these simple guidelines. First, be careful where you put your chopsticks. Don’t leave them sticking up in the broth or set them at the side of the bowl. When you have finished eating or if you’re taking a break, place them on the chopstick rest next to the bowl. Also, it is impolite to wave chopsticks around or bring them above mouth-level. Second, don’t take too
