Actress Ruby Lin, who is a charity ambassador of the TVBS Foundation, has been promoting the foundation’s “Infinite Love” fundraising campaign, which is raising money for a total of 20 charity groups. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Lin said that public donations to charitable organizations have seriously declined this year, while many shelters have been forced to close.
To show her support for the disadvantaged, Lin recently visited the Institute for the Blind of Taiwan in Taichung, where she learned how to guide visually-impaired people in the street properly, including the five-word principle — “observe, ask, touch, guide, describe.” “It’s more blessed to give than to receive,” she said, calling on the public to give generously.
To help people get an understanding of the challenges faced by the blind, YouTuber “PY” last month also released a video of himself secretly protecting his visually-impaired brother, who attempted to walk home from school by himself for the first time. Their brotherly love has moved numerous viewers online.

女星林心如是TVBS信望愛永續基金會公益大使，她近日宣傳該基金會「愛無限」募款活動，為總共二十家慈善團體來募款。受武漢肺炎（新冠病毒，COVID-19）影響，她說今年民眾對於慈善機構的捐款嚴重下滑，不少庇護所目前亦被迫關閉中。
為了用行動力挺弱勢，林心如親自造訪了台中市的台灣盲人重建院，並學習如何在街上正確引導視障人士，包括安全引導的五字訣——「觀、問、碰、引、述」。她還說︰「施比受更有福！」呼籲大家能踴躍捐款。
而為了幫助大眾了解盲人面臨的挑戰，網路創作者「P歪」上個月發布一支影片，記錄他的視障弟弟首次嘗試放學自己走回家，他則偷偷跟在後面保護他弟弟，兩人的兄弟情也讓許多網友大為感動。

Thailand and Cambodia are engaged in their worst fighting in over a decade, exchanging heavy artillery fire across their disputed border, with at least 30 people killed and tens of thousands displaced. Tensions began rising between the Southeast Asian neighbors in May, following the killing of a Cambodian soldier during a brief exchange of gunfire, and have steadily escalated since, triggering diplomatic spats and now, armed clashes. WHERE DOES THE DISPUTE ORIGINATE? Thailand and Cambodia have for more than a century contested sovereignty at various undemarcated points along their 817km land border, which was first mapped by France in 1907 when Cambodia was
Alan Turing, celebrated as the “father of computer science,” was a brilliant mathematician and scientist. Born in London in 1912, Turing showed exceptional talent in mathematics and science from a young age. At 16, he understood Albert Einstein’s work without difficulty. This intelligence carried him through studies at Cambridge University and later at Princeton University in the US, where he further explored complex mathematical theories. In 1936, Turing introduced the concept of the Turing machine, a theoretical device for solving mathematical problems. He described it as having an infinite tape on which symbols could be read, interpreted, and modified. With simple
