A mystery Swedish billionaire has offered a reward of 10,670 euros (NT$462,000) for the return of a stolen dog.
“To steal a poor dog, that’s really low. With this money, the robbers can buy a lot of dogs,” the anonymous billionaire said.
The dog, named Bamse, is a seven-year-old crossbreed. It was stolen three weeks ago from its owners Maina and Lars Ullstrand in eastern Sweden.

The couple have searched for their beloved pet night and day and are desperate to have him returned.
“We’re in total despair. He’s like a child to us,” Lars Ullstrand, 60, told a newspaper which reported the theft.
The couple were overjoyed when they heard the news of the anonymous donor’s reward.
“It’s nice to know that there is someone out there who cares about us. It makes me want to cry,” Maina Ullstrand said.(AFP)
一位神秘的瑞典億萬富翁開出一萬零六百七十歐元（約合新台幣四十六萬兩千元）的賞金，懸賞一隻失竊的小狗。
這位匿名的億萬富翁說：「去偷一隻孱弱的小狗，實在很卑劣。這筆錢應該可以讓偷狗賊買一卡車小狗了。」
失竊的狗狗名叫邦塞，是一隻七歲大的雜種狗。三週前牠在瑞典東部被竊，牠的飼主是拉斯．爾斯特朗德和老婆麥娜。
這對夫婦夜以繼日地尋找愛犬，滿心期望牠的歸來。
六十歲的拉斯．爾斯特朗德對報導這起竊案的報紙表示：「我們完全絕望了，牠就像是我們的孩子。」
聽到有不具名的好心人士慷慨解囊替他們懸賞愛狗，這對夫妻喜出望外。
麥娜．爾斯特朗德說：「很高興知道有人在默默關心我們，我忍不住想要落淚。」

Most people enjoy the simple pleasure of creating bubbles using soap and water or a handy bubble gun, but have you ever wondered why these bubbles come out in such a uniform, spherical form? The answer delves into the fascinating realm of physics and the special behaviors of liquids. Soap bubbles are formed when air molecules become trapped inside a thin layer of soapy water, giving them a shimmering appearance. As a liquid, the soapy film takes up the smallest possible surface area—water molecules naturally do this to achieve the most stable state. And guess what shape has the least surface
A: Taiwanese athletes won two gold and five bronze medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, including shooter Lee Meng-yuan, who has now become the World’s No. 1. B: Badminton duo Lee Yang and Wang Chi-lin and boxer Lin Yu-ting won golds this time. A: But Taiwan lagged far behind neighboring Japan and South Korea, which won 20 and 13 golds, respectively. B: Plus, many top Taiwanese players are retiring after the games. A: Isn’t Taiwan planning to upgrade the Ministry of Education’s Sports Administration to a ministry for sports development? That will hopefully boost our national strength in sports. A:
A: Wow, a Taiwanese shooter has recently claimed the World’s No. 1 spot. B: Is it shooter Lee Meng-yuan, who won a bronze in Men’s Skeet Shooting at the 2024 Paris Olympics? A: Yeah, according to the International Shooting Sport Federation’s rankings, Lee has made history by rising to the top. B: That’s so cool. And his bronze was Taiwan’s first Olympic medal for shooting. A: What a sharp shooter. A: 哇，台灣的射擊名將登上世界第一! B: 是不是在2024巴黎奧運射下「男子定向飛靶」銅牌李孟遠？ A: 對，根據「國際射擊運動聯盟」（ISSF）的排名，他最近創造歷史登上世界第一。 B: 真厲害，這也是台灣首面奧運射擊獎牌。 A: 他真是「神射手」。 （By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times／台北時報張聖恩）
Continued from yesterday (延續自昨日) https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang When water molecules stick together, this also creates surface tension. This surface tension acts like a stretchy skin that resists outside forces. Meanwhile, the air molecules inside the bubble are pushing outwards trying to escape, but the surface tension pushes back with an equal and opposite force. It’s like a tug-of-war, but perfectly balanced, and this balance of forces is what keeps the bubble together. Bubbles are also easy to burst because their existence all hinges on the thin film. A collision with the ground or a wall can rupture this delicate membrane. Likewise, too much air pushed
