The Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee recently unveiled the parade uniforms of the Taiwan team for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. Designed by renowned fashion designer Khieng Fang, the uniforms, featuring a neon green color, will ensure the Taiwanese athletes shine at both the opening and closing ceremonies.
The uniforms this time include a Taiwanese-style straw hat, hoping to add an extra dash of style to the outfit. Not all the comments about the uniforms have been glowing. Some have said they look better than previous attempts, while others have been more critical, saying that any junior high school sports uniform would be an improvement.
Other countries’ Olympic teams have worked with designer brands, too. The US team will be wearing uniforms designed by Polo Ralph Lauren, the UK team will be wearing uniforms jointly designed by Stella McCartney and Adidas, the Canadian team is wearing Dsquared2, and the Swedish team is wearing H&M.

The uniforms of the Chinese team, as usual, feature the colors of red and yellow on China’s five-star flag. Even Chinese netizens have mocked the rather tacky design as looking like “stir-fried tomatoes and eggs.”

中華奧會發表里約奧運台灣代表隊團服，找來知名設計師方國強操刀，以螢光綠為主軸，要讓寶島運動員在開／閉幕式中驚豔全場。
本次團服還搭配台灣風格的草帽，增添人文氣息。不過公布之後反應兩極，有人覺得比往年好看，但也有人毒舌︰「隨便一間國中運動服都比這件好」。
至於各國的奧運代表隊，許多隊伍與知名時尚品牌合作。美國隊找上Polo Ralph Lauren，英國隊委託Stella McCartney與Adidas聯手打造，加拿大隊由Dsquared2操刀，瑞典隊則與H&M合作。
中國隊這次奧運的制服設計，一如既往採用五星旗的紅、黃兩色搭配，俗氣的設計連中國網友都吐槽像是「番茄炒蛋」。

Many consumers are guilty of filling drawers or closets with old laptops, cellphones, fitness trackers and other electronic devices once they are no longer needed. It’s hard to know where to recycle such items, or it seems costly and inconvenient to do so. The world generates millions of tons of electronic waste — also called e-waste — each year. According to the UN’s most recent estimate, people worldwide produced 62 million metric tons of e-waste in 2022, and only about 22 percent of it was properly recycled. The US’ Environmental Protection Agency estimates that less than a quarter of e-waste is
You’re sitting in class when a classmate asks to borrow a pencil. It seems like a small favor, so you agree without hesitation. The following week, the same classmate asks to share your notes. Later, they request help with a group project. You agree each time — after all, you helped out the first time — but before you know it, it has become automatic. This scenario demonstrates the “foot-in-the-door technique,” a psychological concept that shows how agreeing to small, acceptable demands makes it easier to accept larger ones later on. The name for this strategy comes from door-to-door
