A video of a motorcyclist showing off his skills as he negotiated the sharp bends of the Taipei-Yilan Highway was uploaded on the video-sharing Web site YouTube, allowing the police to locate the 20-year-old driver by identifying his license plate number from the footage. He admitted what he did was very dangerous and told the police he would never do it again.
The video shows a person riding a 125cc motorcycle showing off his skills at negotiating a sharp bend four times, leaning so close to the ground that his knee was rubbing against it. Netizens that saw the video eventually notified the police because they thought it looked very dangerous. The police said the motorcyclist, surnamed Chang, was repeatedly leaning his bike as he sped around curves near the 33km marker on Beiyi Highway. With one foot hooked around the seat, the knee of the other leg touched the ground while he leaned left and right at various turns, police said these were techniques you would only see at Grand Prix competitions. Onlookers filmed the dangerous stunts and uploaded them onto YouTube. Netizens subsequently reported what they saw to the police.
When the police summoned Chang for questioning so they could write up a police report, he admitted to speeding through the four sharp curves and leaning his bike at a steep angle, and said he regreted it. Motorcyclists at Grand Prix motorbike races are trained professionally before being allowed to race through sharp curves at high speeds by leaning their bikes close to the track. Chang, however, has never received proper training; therefore, it was very dangerous for him to make these sharp turns at such high speeds on Beiyi Highway, where the road is both circuitous and narrow.

New Taipei City police said that motorcyclists might lose their balance and hit other vehicles if they go too fast or lean too much while driving on Beiyi Highway. They also said they will be clamping down on this sort of dangerous driving.

一位機車騎士為了炫燿技術，在北宜公路上飆車過彎，影像畫面遭人上傳到YouTube網站。警方根據網站上的影片，以車號找到二十歲的騎士。他承認此行為很危險，並向警方表示「下次不敢了」。
影片中的騎士駕著一二五CC摩托車，來回四次表演過彎特技，連膝蓋都摩擦到地面。網友認為此舉太危險，所以向警方檢舉。警方表示，張姓騎士就在北宜公路三十三公里處，一腳勾著坐墊，另一腳膝蓋摩擦地面，左右來回壓車，表演摩托GP賽事才會看見的過彎技術，路過的觀眾拍下危險畫面，並上傳到YouTube，熱心網友向警察檢舉。
警方要求住在新北市的張某到警局做筆錄，他承認在北宜公路騎乘機車來回壓車共四次，並深表悔意。摩托GP賽事的車手需要經過專業的訓練，才能在賽車跑道上使用壓車過彎的技術，張某並未受過專業訓練，且在彎道多、路幅窄的北宜公路路段壓車過彎，真的很危險。
新北市警局說，車速過快或壓車騎過北宜公路，也可能會因重心不穩而碰撞其他車輛，警察將嚴加取締危險駕駛。

US President Donald Trump has renewed his ambition to take control of Greenland for national security reasons and questioned whether Denmark has any legal right to the Arctic island. The debate has revived scrutiny of how Greenland became part of Denmark, its current self-rule and path to independence, and Washington’s military footprint. HOW DID DENMARK GET GREENLAND? Greenland was inhabited by Inuit peoples from Asia and North America intermittently from around 2,500 BC. Around 985 AD, Vikings led by Erik the Red settled in southern Greenland, farming and building churches. Around the same time, ancestors of today’s Inuit arrived, living as hunters
Owls have long fascinated people with their distinctive appearance and mysterious habits. These nocturnal birds possess large, round eyes and a flat facial disc. Their feathers come in shades of brown, gray, or white, helping them blend easily into the darkness. The most remarkable trait of owls is that they can turn their heads without damaging blood vessels. Contrary to popular belief, they can only rotate their heads up to 270 degrees, not 360 degrees. Owls have 14 cervical vertebrae, which is twice as many as humans. This special physical structure compensates for their inability to move their eyes within their
AI-generated summaries are shaking up the media world. Tools like Google’s AI Overviews now provide users with direct answers above the search results, resulting in fewer people clicking on news links. For publishers who rely on that traffic to generate advertising revenue, this shift is hitting hard. The fallout is measurable. Many sites have seen a sharp drop in traffic since AI summary features rolled out. An analysis revealed that a news outlet that had once ranked first on Google lost up to 79% of its traffic when its link appeared beneath an AI-generated summary. Statistics also show that
