After entering show business 35 years ago, singer Delphine Chin, also known as WaWa, is only now putting on her first major solo concert. The Completely Love concert is scheduled for Sept. 2 at Taipei International Convention Center. Ticket sales began in June, with tickets available at Market Net, 7-Eleven ibon and FamilyMart FamiPort.
Chin was the lead vocalist of pop band Chiu Chiu. Established in 1981, Chiu Chiu represented a transitional period in Taiwan’s music history, in which people turned from “campus folk songs” to “modern pop music.”
Chiu Chiu was founded by leading song writer Chiu Chen, who arrived in the folk-song era. Their most famous songs include “It’s Tonight,” “Fool on the Embankment,” and “Why I’ve a Dream of Him?” It had made a big impact on the music industry at that time.

Chin’s other hit, “I Came Over the Ocean to See You,” will be adapted into a Chinese-language musical this year. Based on a true story, the musical tells of a long-distance romance across the Taiwan Strait.

William I of Prussia, a passionate painter, often autographed his works with “tormentis pinxit” — “painted in pain” — as a nod to his struggles with gout. Other historical figures like King Henry VIII of England and Benjamin Franklin also suffered from this “disease of kings,” which was common among people indulging in luxurious diets. Gout is primarily caused by high levels of uric acid in the body. Uric acid forms as the body breaks down purines, which are found in foods like red meat and seafood. Normally, the kidneys filter out uric acid. However, if the body produces
The UN Ocean Conference wrapped up in Nice, France on Friday last week with world leaders taking major steps toward marine protection and vowing a showdown when nations meet to negotiate rules for deep-sea mining next month.

In spite of these difficulties, astronauts often describe their experience on the ISS as life-changing. One of the most awe-inspiring aspects of living aboard the space station is the unparalleled view of Earth. Traveling at
