The short life of brown bear Bruno will be turned into a movie, an Austrian company said earlier this month. Bruno became a star after roaming through Austria and Germany for several weeks in 2006.
Cine Tirol signed up well-known writers, directors and actors for the movie. The company plans to start shooting the movie in summer 2008 in western Austria. They plan to call the movie The Bear is Loose.
JJ 1 was a young brown bear who was later named Bruno by the media. It roamed from northern Italy to Bavaria in southern Germany during May and June 2006.

奧地利一家公司本月稍早表示,棕熊布魯諾短暫的一生將被搬上大銀幕。二OO六年布魯諾在德國、奧地利一帶遊蕩數週後,受到各界關注。
提洛電影公司為這部電影簽下知名作家、導演和演員。這間公司打算於二OO八年夏天在奧地利西部開拍電影,並以「自由自在的熊」做為片名。
這隻小棕熊原被稱為JJ 1,後來被媒體取名為布魯諾,牠在二OO六年五、六月間,從義大利北部遊蕩至德國南部的巴伐利亞邦。
圍捕這隻閒晃棕熊的所有行動均告失敗,牠因殺害了若干綿羊而受到指責。
儘管動物保護人士提出抗議,巴伐利亞當局仍下令射殺布魯諾。布魯諾於二OO六年六月底遭到射殺。

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

In 2021, more than 80 percent of US IVF procedures involved the transfer of frozen embryos, according to a recent report by the US Department of Health and Human Services. 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
