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）
US President Donald Trump on Monday last week signed the TAKE IT DOWN ACT (Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act), bipartisan legislation that enacts stricter penalties for the distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery, sometimes called “revenge porn,” as well as deepfakes created by artificial intelligence. The measure, which goes into effect immediately, was introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, and later gained the support of First Lady Melania Trump. Critics of the measure, which addresses both real and artificial intelligence-generated imagery, say
In today’s digital age, every click and swipe generates data, and the need for reliable and efficient data management has become critical. This is where data centers come into play. Data centers include servers, storage drives, networking equipment, and other hardware to manage, process, and store vast amounts of digital information. __1__ For that reason, some companies are pursuing an unusual idea: placing data centers under the surface of the ocean. What makes underwater data centers cheaper than traditional land-based ones? For one thing, the cool temperature of the ocean means that companies can cut down on the high cost of
Cats ruled in ancient Egypt—and not just in their own minds. These clever, graceful creatures were so deeply respected by the Egyptians that harming one could lead to severe punishment, even death. But why did the Egyptians hold cats in such high regard? It wasn’t just because they were cute; cats played a crucial role in protecting the country’s grain stores from pests. As guardians of Egypt’s food supply, they were seen as sacred animals. The Egyptians honored them through Bastet, the cat-headed goddess of protection, the home and fertility. Egyptians didn’t just love cats; they worshipped them. Cats lived in luxury,

One problem is that they’re difficult to access for repair or replacement. __4__ This presents a significantly higher level of complexity than handling traditional land-based data centers. Another challenge is energy reliability. Many underwater data centers rely on offshore renewable energy sources, which can be unstable due to environmental factors. While underwater data centers offer exciting possibilities, overcoming the associated challenges is essential to realizing their full potential. 儘管有這些優勢，在海底安置資料中心仍存在一些難關。一個問題是難以進入水下資料中心進行修理或更換。這需要派人員到水下或將資料中心運送到維修站。這比處理傳統的陸上資料中心還要複雜許多。另一個難關是能源可靠性。許多水下資料中心依賴近海再生能源，而這些能源可能會因環境因素而不穩定。雖然水下資料中心提供了令人興奮的可能性，但要充分發揮其潛力，克服相關的難題是相當重要的。 What Did You Learn?
