Can you tell what this man is wearing on his head? It is called a turban, and it is part of this man’s religion.
The man in this picture is a Sikh, which means he believes in a religion called Sikhism that began 500 years ago in India.
There are five things that Sikhs must do for their religion, and one of them is to never, ever cut their hair. Sikhs believe that if they leave their hair uncut, it will show the rest of the world who they are and what they believe.

He is wearing his turban during a parade that Sikhs have to show how important it is to be proud to wear a turban and to be proud to be known as a Sikh.

你能看出這名男子頭上戴的是什麼嗎？它叫「圖班頭巾」，是這名男子信仰的一部分。
照片中的男子是錫克教徒，信奉五百年前起源於印度的錫克教。
錫克教徒必須為信仰做五件事，其中一件事就是絕對不准剪頭髮。他們相信，若不理髮，就能對世人表明他們的身分和信仰。
世界各地許多錫克教徒用圖班頭巾將長髮盤起，不過圖班頭巾通常不超過五公尺，看起來不如這名男子戴的大。他戴的是長四百二十五公尺的傳統圖班頭巾。
他在一項遊行中穿戴自己的圖班頭巾。錫克教徒必須藉此遊行彰顯以戴圖班頭巾及身為錫克教徒為榮的重要性。

WHAT IS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ? Lying between Oman and Iran and linking the Gulf north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond, the strait is 33km wide at its narrowest point, with a shipping lane just 3km wide in either direction. Perhaps the world’s most important energy shipping channel, the waterway is about 167km long. Following through on an old threat, Tehran effectively closed the strait
Have you ever found yourself desperately feeding coins into a claw machine just because you’ve already spent so much trying to win that stuffed animal? Or maybe you’ve continued watching a boring movie simply because you already paid for the ticket? If so, you’ve experienced the “sunk cost fallacy.” A sunk cost refers to time, money or effort that has already been spent and cannot be recovered. This psychological trap is surprisingly common.
