Are you getting bored in an office that never changes? An American designer who was tired of his office’s pale walls decided to decorate them with sticky notes. With more than 8,000 sticky notes on the wall, the office was no longer pale white all over.
According to media reports, American designer Ben Brucker of San Francisco was sick of his office’s monotonous appearance, so he applied some creativity by choosing a superhero theme and “sticking” the characters on the wall one by one. Brucker and his work team, along with a helping hand from their kids, put 8,024 colored sticky notes on the wall to form one superhero after another.
After the pictures were put online, they attracted the acclaim of many netizens. Brucker also shared the dilemmas that they encountered while decorating the office, such as some sticky notes coming unstuck or curling up. Nevertheless, Brucker said, “We’re moving to a new office in a few months, so this was all temporary anyway!” It looks as though Brucker has an even better idea for decorating his office next time.

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
