After winning back-to-back championships in two weeks, Taiwan’s world No. 1 badminton player Tai Tzu-ying will set a new record by holding the crown for 125 weeks when the Badminton World Federation (BWF) releases its weekly rankings on Tuesday. The current record is held by famous Chinese shuttler Li Xuerui, who stayed at the top for 124 weeks.
Tai set another record for the highest ranking point in a 52-week period last year, winning 101,667 ranking points to smash the previous record, also held by Li. After winning women’s singles titles at both the Malaysia Open and the Singapore Open this month, she attributed the victories to her loyal fans’ support.
Meanwhile, Taiwanese golf player Pan Cheng-tsung, or C.T. Pan, made history by winning the RBC Heritage title on Sunday, becoming Taiwan’s first golfer to win a PGA Tour title in 32 years after Chen Tze-chung in 1987. Pan’s world ranking has surged from 113 to 55 since the victory.

台灣世界球后戴資穎於兩週內連續贏得兩座冠軍後，在BWF世界羽球聯盟下週二公布的週排名，將創下球后在位長達一百二十五週的新紀錄。目前高居球后寶座最久的紀錄，是由知名中國羽球選手李雪芮所保持的一百二十四週。
小戴去年還創下另一項新紀錄，在為期五十二週期間，贏得最高排行積分十萬零一千六百六十七分，打破同樣由李雪芮所保持的世界紀錄。而她在本月榮獲馬來西亞公開賽及新加坡公開賽女單冠軍後，將勝利歸功於死忠粉絲的支持。
台灣高爾夫球好手潘政琮上週日亦創下歷史，在二○一九年RBC傳承高球賽勇奪冠軍，並成為三十二年來台灣首位贏得PGA美巡賽冠軍的選手，上一位是一九八七年封王的高球名將陳志忠。小潘奪冠後世界排名從一百一十三名暴衝至五十五名。

US President Donald Trump on Monday last week signed the TAKE IT DOWN ACT (Tools to Address Known Exploitation by Immobilizing Technological Deepfakes on Websites and Networks Act), bipartisan legislation that enacts stricter penalties for the distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery, sometimes called “revenge porn,” as well as deepfakes created by artificial intelligence. The measure, which goes into effect immediately, was introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, and later gained the support of First Lady Melania Trump. Critics of the measure, which addresses both real and artificial intelligence-generated imagery, say
Cats ruled in ancient Egypt—and not just in their own minds. These clever, graceful creatures were so deeply respected by the Egyptians that harming one could lead to severe punishment, even death. But why did the Egyptians hold cats in such high regard? It wasn’t just because they were cute; cats played a crucial role in protecting the country’s grain stores from pests. As guardians of Egypt’s food supply, they were seen as sacred animals. The Egyptians honored them through Bastet, the cat-headed goddess of protection, the home and fertility. Egyptians didn’t just love cats; they worshipped them. Cats lived in luxury,

Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Despite these advantages, there are still some challenges when it comes to housing data centers under the ocean. One problem is that they’re difficult to access for repair or replacement. __4__ This presents a significantly higher level of complexity than handling traditional land-based data centers. Another challenge is energy reliability. Many underwater data centers rely on offshore renewable energy sources, which can be unstable due to environmental factors. While underwater data centers offer exciting possibilities, overcoming the associated challenges is essential to realizing their full potential. 儘管有這些優勢，在海底安置資料中心仍存在一些難關。一個問題是難以進入水下資料中心進行修理或更換。這需要派人員到水下或將資料中心運送到維修站。這比處理傳統的陸上資料中心還要複雜許多。另一個難關是能源可靠性。許多水下資料中心依賴近海再生能源，而這些能源可能會因環境因素而不穩定。雖然水下資料中心提供了令人興奮的可能性，但要充分發揮其潛力，克服相關的難題是相當重要的。 What Did You Learn?
