In the wake of typhoons and heavy rain, agricultural product prices have skyrocketed and produce has become coveted by criminals. In Yunlin County’s Yuanjhang Township, a farmer surnamed Lee had his cornfield robbed on the night of the typhoon, causing a loss of over NT$100,000. Yunlin police have now reinforced their farm protection operations, with all police precincts stepping up their patrols of agriculture, fishing, animal husbandry and similar enterprises in their respective jurisdictions.
Lee‘s cornfield in Yuanjhang Township was ready for harvest. He was afraid that his cornfield would be affected by Typhoon Dujuan’s strong winds and heavy rains, so on the night of Sept. 28 he went out in the rain to check up on his fields. He was then surprised to find that a whole field had been robbed of corn early in the morning of Sept. 29.
Yang Chih-sheng, captain of Huwei police station’s criminal investigation team, says that, according to Lee’s statement, there was probably more than one thief involved and the crime took place under cover of darkness on the morning of Sept. 29. Yang’s team has now gained access to security camera footage from along the road and has taken note of specific buyers whom they are investigating further.

Under the impact of two consecutive typhoons, Soudelor and Dujuan, crops have been severely damaged, and prices of both vegetables and fruit have soared. To protect farmers from becoming victims twice over, Yunlin police have strengthened their protection of agriculture. In addition to intensifying their nighttime field patrols, they are also checking on people and vehicles involved in harvesting and transporting agricultural products.

In an effort to fight phone scams, British mobile phone company O2 has introduced Daisy, an AI designed to engage phone con artists in time-wasting conversations. Daisy is portrayed as a kindly British granny, exploiting scammers’ tendency to target the elderly.

When Daisy receives a call, she translates the scammers’ spoken words into text and then responds to them accordingly through a text-to-speech system. Remarkably, Daisy
Bilingual Story is a fictionalized account. 雙語故事部分內容純屬虛構。 Emma had reviewed 41 resumes that morning. While the ATS screened out 288 unqualified, she screened for AI slop. She could spot it a mile away. She muttered AI buzzwords like curses under her breath. “Team player.” “Results-driven.” “Stakeholder alignment.” “Leveraging core competencies.” Each resume reeked of AI modeling: a cemetery of cliches, tombstones of personality. AI wasn’t just changing hiring. It was draining the humanity from it. Then she found it: a plain PDF cover letter. No template. No design flourishes. The first line read: “I once tried to automate my
Every May 1, Hawaii comes alive with Lei Day, a festival celebrating the rich culture and spirit of the islands. Initiated in 1927 by the poet Don Blanding, Lei Day began as a tribute to the Hawaiian custom of making and wearing leis. The idea was quickly adopted and officially recognized as a holiday in 1929, and leis have since become a symbol of local pride and cultural preservation. In Hawaiian culture, leis are more than decorative garlands made from flowers, shells or feathers. For Hawaiians, giving a lei is as natural as saying “aloha.” It shows love and
