Taipei City Government’s Department of Health has long been promoting the installation of condom machines on college campuses. There are now roughly 10 universities in Taipei that have set up condom machines. On June 18 the Chinese Culture University Student Association published a news entry on its Facebook page, saying that the school is now catching up and has installed a condom machine, which has provoked fervent responses from students.
In the past, after taking into account a variety of factors, Chinese Culture University declined the Department of Health’s suggestion that it set up condom machines. Now, all of a sudden, a condom machine has been placed right outside the 24-hour study center, to the surprise of many students. One student said that, “After two years of lip service, they finally did it.” Some jokingly said that, “There is no way we can use up all these condoms.” Another commented that, “I am kind of curious to know who will dare to buy them.”
Currently, several universities in Taipei have set up condom machines on campus. Soochow University, the University of Taipei and National Taipei University of Nursing and Health Sciences have each set up two machines, while Shih Hsin University, National Chengchi University, National Yang-Ming University and the National Taiwan University of Arts have each installed one condom machine.

台北市衛生局一直以來倡導校內設置保險套販賣機，而台北市已有十所左右的大學校，在校園內設置了保險套自動販賣機。六月十八日文化大學學生會在臉書粉絲團發布消息，指文大現也跟進設置了一台保險套自動販賣機，引發學生熱烈回應。
文化大學過去曾因為考量多方面問題，婉拒衛生局在校內設置保險套販賣機，現在突然在二十四小時開放的讀書中心外設置販賣機，讓學生們都相當意外。一名學生就表示：「講了兩年終於設置了。」還有人開玩笑說「用不完了」、「有點好奇誰敢去買」。
台北市目前已有多所大學在校內設置保險套販賣機，其中東吳大學、台北市立大學，以及國立台北護理健康大學，分別都設置了兩台；而世新、政大、陽明大學、台藝大等學校，也都設置了一台。

When purchasing sunglasses, many people prioritize fashion or comfort. However, experts warn that eye safety should be the foremost concern.

One common misconception is that darker lenses automatically block more UV rays. In fact, lens color and darkness have little to do with UV protection. A pair of stylish, dark sunglasses without the appropriate coating can be dangerous because
