A stupid immoral thief! When a light-fingered thief, surnamed Tien, was short of cash, he thought of his friend. In his friend’s home, he stole a watch and a notebook computer, but being a bit nervous, he left his shoes and instead put on his friend’s blue and white slippers. When his friend saw a pair of white tennis shoes, he immediately recognized them as his friend’s. Two hours later, Tien was under arrest.
Tien readily admitted to stealing the watch and the computer, but said he had never expected to be caught. His friend, named Lai, was so angry that he kept scolding Tien, saying he had “no morals.”
Tien, 22, has a record of theft. When he ran out of cash recently, he called on his friend Lai in Keelung. When he was sure that no one was home, Tien went to the back of the house where he took off his white shoes and climbed in through the bathroom window. He took two watches from his friend’s room and then he took a notebook computer from his friend’s younger sister’s room.

After his successful burglary, a nervous Tien did not put on his shoes, but instead left through the front door wearing his friend’s blue and white slippers. When his friend realized that he had been robbed, he also saw the white pair of shoes behind the house and immediately recognized them as Tien’s. He reported the burglary to the police and also told them where Tien might show up.
Police patrolled the neighborhood and in less than two hours they saw Tien strolling down the road. On the spot they found two watches on Tien and underneath the roof at a house nearby they found the hidden computer.

The US-Israeli war on Iran, launched on Feb. 28, has set the Middle East alight, threatening millions of people’s lives and livelihoods as the violence spreads in widening arc stretching from central Asia to the edge of Europe. The joint operation, named “Epic Fury” by the US and “Roaring Lion” by Israel, has been sold as a high-impact show of intimidating power, but its impact so far beyond the chaos and bloodshed is unclear. What is certain is that predictions that this type of war would destabilize the region have indeed rapidly materialized. What is the background to this war? For decades, the
When purchasing sunglasses, many people prioritize fashion or comfort. However, experts warn that eye safety should be the foremost concern. Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays can lead to serious eye problems, including cataracts, macular degeneration, and even a painful condition called photokeratitis, or “sunburn of the eye.” Because of these risks, selecting sunglasses with proper UV protection is essential. 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
