On the east coast of Pingtung County’s Hengchun Peninsula, it is now the peak season for lobsters, and many fishermen leave their lobsters in pots suspended in the harbor water. However, recently a “lobster thief” has been sneaking into the pier and stealing whole lobster pots along with the catch. This caught all the fishermen by surprize. Since there is a coast guard patrol station next to the wharf, fishermen fumed: “How can things get stolen where the patrol station is right there? Were the coast guards all dozing?” Many hope the police will arrest the thief who exclusively targets fishermen’s lobsters.
The two most recent cases of stolen lobsters took place in Bitou Harbor and Singhai Harbor, which is near the east coast of Kenting. In both cases, the fishermen had left the lobsters in pots suspended in the harbor water to be picked up later, but an unidentified person came to the harbor in a car and snatched all the lobster pots, worth at least NT$10,000.
The Coast Guard’s 63rd Division explained that surveillance cameras have been installed at every pier, and that during late night hours they record the license plate of every car which visits or leaves the wharf. When the lobsters were stolen, the coast guard happened to be patrolling another nearby area, and therefore did not discover it in time, the division said.

(Liberty Times, translated by Yu-an Tu)
屏東縣恆春半島東岸正值龍蝦盛產季節，不少漁民將捕獲的龍蝦關在籠中懸掛在漁港內，沒想到最近出現「龍蝦賊」，利用深夜潛入碼頭偷走整籠龍蝦。由於碼頭旁有岸巡隊哨所，漁民大罵「哨所旁還被偷，都在睡覺嗎？」希望警方協助緝捕專門撿現成的「龍蝦賊」。
最近兩起龍蝦遭竊案件，分別發生在鼻頭港碼頭及接近墾丁東岸的興海港碼頭，同樣都是漁民將捕獲的龍蝦暫時用網具吊掛在港內，卻在凌晨被不明人士開車到港邊整籠帶走，損失都在萬元以上。

A ‘Dutch angle’ is a classic camera technique that has been used in filmmaking since the 1920s, when it was introduced to Hollywood by German Expressionists. Why is it called the Dutch angle if it’s actually German? In fact, it has no __1__ to the Netherlands. The term “Dutch” is widely believed to be a misinterpretation of “Deutsch,” which means German in the German language. In any event, the name stuck, and the Dutch angle remains a popular cinematic tool to this day. This technique involves tilting the camera on its x-axis, skewing the shot to create a sense of

Historians are rethinking the way the Holocaust is being presented in museums as the world marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the last Nazi concentration camps this month. Shocking images of the mass killings of Jews were “used massively at the end of World War II to show the violence of the Nazis,” historian Tal Bruttmann, a specialist on the Holocaust, told AFP. But in doing so “we kind of lost sight of the fact that is not normal to show” such graphic scenes of mass murder, of people being humiliated and dehumanized, he said. Up to this
