Snake people are unpredictable, and it’s difficult to second-guess what they are thinking. Don’t expect to see them flitting around from one project to the next; when a snake decides to do something you can be sure that he has thought through every detail of his plan. Snake people are the quintessential epicureans who revel in the finer things in life, like fine wines, good food and sparkling conversation. Due to their inherent introspectiveness, snake people can be misconstrued as shy or aloof.
屬蛇的人難以捉摸，外人很難猜測他們內心的想法。他們做事不會虎頭蛇尾、半途而廢；一旦決定做一件事，一定會先擬定計畫，仔細想過每個細節。肖蛇者是典型的享樂主義者，喜歡沉迷於生活中美好的事物，如：美酒、美食及活潑有趣的談話。因為天性好自省，所以肖蛇者有時會因為害羞或漠然而遭到誤會。
FOR 2009:
Money: A great fortune could be coming your way, but only if you are prepared to work hard for it. If you are lazy, then opportunity will pass you by.
Love: Tread carefully in love this year. Snake people in relationships could be in for a rough time, while single snakes are unlikely to find love.
Health: The biggest danger is letting negative feelings from your love life affect your physical well-being. (John Phillips, staff writer)
二ＯＯ九年的運勢：
財運：可能會得到一筆為數不小的財富，但你得努力工作才能得到。如果太懶散，機會就會和你擦肩而過。
愛情運：要用心維繫感情。有伴侶的人可能會陷入感情低潮，單身者也不太容易找到對象。
健康運：最大的健康危機是讓戀情不順的負面情緒連帶影響健康。(翻譯：袁星塵)

As bee populations around the world continue to decline at an alarming rate, scientists are developing an innovative solution: robotic bees. Recent advances at research institutions like Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US have produced tiny flying robots capable of performing pollination tasks similar to those of real bees. These tiny machines represent an impressive technological achievement. MIT’s latest models can hover in the air for over 1,000 seconds and perform complex movements, demonstrating the agility needed for successful pollination. The robots are designed to mimic the flight patterns of natural bees, offering potential support to agriculture
A: Taiwan legalized same-sex marriage on May 24, 2019, so this week marks the seventh anniversary of that milestone. By the end of 2024, a total of 32,126 LGBT couples had tied the knot. B: How many of them got married to foreign partners? A: In 2024, there were 504 cross-border same-sex marriages. By the end of that year, there were 130 cross-strait same-sex marriages between Taiwanese and Chinese — accounting for only about 0.4 percent of the total. B: I’ve heard that a seven-year marriage brings the “seven-year itch.” I bet some couples regret their decisions now. A:
A: While Taiwan is celebrating the 7th anniversary of legalizing same-sex marriage, a poll shows that the support rate for same-sex marriage rose sharply from 37.4 percent seven years ago to 69.9 percent last year. B: Actually, I’m a bit curious about the size of Taiwan’s LGBT population. A: I’m not sure. But if we take a Gallup poll in the US as an example, 9.3 percent of American adults identified as LGBT in 2024. B: Wow, is it because the Americans are relatively open? In many other countries, the figures hover around 5 percent. A: Based on this,
As climate change and urbanization push city temperatures higher, walking outdoors is becoming increasingly uncomfortable in many parts of the world, especially when prolonged time spent in sunlight is involved. As a result, outdoor lovers are now seeking cooler, shaded walking routes. However, most mainstream map apps still do not __1__ shaded footpaths. Enter routing.osm.ch — a Swiss web-based route planner that introduces a novel solution to this problem. Its “Vampire mode,” named after the legendary creatures’ fear of being __2__ natural light, was developed by a Swiss research team led by Professor Stefan Keller. The platform combines open data from
