A Michigan officer who pulled over a vehicle because a five-year-old girl was not secured in a booster seat decided a ticket would not cut it.
Instead, Emmett Township public safety officer Ben Hall bought her a seat.
“A ticket doesn’t solve the situation,” Hall told WXMI-TV. “What solves it is the child being in the booster seat like she should be. It was the easiest 50 bucks I ever spent.”

Hall was on patrol in the southern Michigan community when he pulled over the vehicle after someone reported that it had an unsecured young child inside. Alexis DeLorenzo and her daughter were riding with a friend, and Hall said DeLorenzo told him that she had fallen on hard times and could not afford a booster seat.
“I was in a spot where I could help her,” Hall said.
DeLorenzo said she knew that they could have been ticketed, but instead, Hall told her to meet him at a Wal-Mart store, where he bought her the seat.

美國密西根州一名以車內有未坐在安全座椅上的五歲女童為由、要求駕駛人路邊停車的警員,認為開罰單無法解決問題。
艾默特鎮公安警察班‧霍爾不但沒有開罰單,反而幫女童買了一個安全座椅。
「一張罰單無法解決這個狀況,」霍爾告訴WXMI電視台。「真正能解決問題的是讓這孩子坐在她應該坐的兒童安全座椅上。這是我花過最爽快的五十元。」
霍爾是在這個密西根州南部社區巡邏時,接獲某人通報說這輛車內有一名未坐在安全座椅上的兒童後,要求該車靠邊停車。車內是與一名友人共乘的艾莉希絲‧迪羅倫佐和她的女兒。霍爾說,迪羅倫佐告訴他,她手頭拮据,買不起兒童安全座椅。
「我剛好可以幫助她,」霍爾說。
迪羅倫佐說,她知道她們可能會被開罰單,但霍爾不但沒開罰單,反而叫她跟他在一家威名百貨超市碰頭,霍爾在那裡買了一張安全座椅送給她。

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
The practice of freezing embryos as part of in vitro fertilization (IVF) was thrown into chaos in Alabama this year, when the state supreme court ruled that such embryos should be considered children, exposing clinics to wrongful death claims in the event they are destroyed in the thawing process. 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
