Most children know, if you want to have good table manners, one of the most important rules is, "Don't play with your food." But when you aren't actually at the dinner table, sometimes playing with your food can be a great thing.
The man in this picture is an artist from Italy. He doesn't just play with his food, he makes art out of it. Can you tell what kind of fruit he carved to make this dog?
Oranges! In this picture, the sculpture is a dog, but there are many other things you could make from oranges and other kinds of fruit. Can you think of any?

Making art out of food is fun because when you're finished, you can eat your creation! (Kayleen Hartman, Staff writer)
大多數孩童都知道，假如你想要有良好的餐桌禮儀，最重要的規矩之一就是「別拿你的食物來玩」。不過，當你並未坐在餐桌旁時，有時候玩玩食物可說是樂趣無窮。
照片中的人是義大利藝術家。他不只拿食物來玩，還用食物創作藝術。你知道他是用哪一種水果雕刻這隻狗呢？
答案是柳橙！照片中的雕塑品是一隻狗，不過你還可以用柳橙或各種水果創造出許多東西。你想到了什麼嗎？
用食物創作藝術很有趣，因為作品一旦完成，你還可以把你的作品吃掉！ （翻譯：賴美君）
An automated human washing machine was one of the highlights at the Osaka Kansai Expo, giving visitors a glimpse into the future of personal hygiene technology. As part of the event, 1,000 randomly selected visitors were given the chance to try out this cleansing system. The machine operates as a capsule-like chamber where warm water filled with microscopic bubbles gently washes away dirt. The 15-minute process also includes a drying phase, removing the need for users to dry themselves manually. Equipped with advanced sensors, the device monitors the user’s biological data, such as their pulse, to adjust water temperature and other settings
Britain’s National Gallery announced on Sept. 9 that it will use a whopping ￡375m (US$510m) in donations to open a new wing that, for the first time, will include modern art. Founded in 1824, the gallery has amassed a centuries-spanning collection of Western paintings by artists from Leonardo da Vinci to J.M.W Turner and Vincent van Gogh — but almost nothing created after the year 1900. The modern era has been left to other galleries, including London’s Tate Modern. That will change when the gallery opens a new wing to be constructed on land beside its Trafalgar Square site that is currently
It is a universally acknowledged truth that Jane Austen, born in 1775, is one of the most beloved English novelists, and that her works still inspire readers today. She is renowned for her novels Pride and Prejudice, Emma, and Sense and Sensibility. Her stories often explore themes of love, marriage, and social status in late 18th-century British society and are written with wit and insight. To honor her legacy, the Jane Austen Festival is held every September in Bath, England. She lived there for several years, and the city is depicted in two of her novels. The festival began in 2001
Firefighters might face an increased risk of developing “glioma,” a type of brain cancer, due to certain chemicals encountered on the job. A recent study analyzed glioma cases and found clear connections between the genetic patterns of affected firefighters and their exposure to these harmful substances. The study found that firefighters exhibited significantly higher levels of specific mutational signatures in their glioma cells compared to individuals in other occupations. These signatures — unique patterns of genetic changes in DNA — help scientists trace the source of mutations. Earlier research has associated these mutations with certain chemicals found in fire
