K-pop supergroup BTS is taking over the world, and it’s taking over McDonald’s as well, with the “BTS Meal,” available in nearly 50 countries around the world as of May 26. Devised by the seven-member group, the “BTS Meal” featuring 10 pieces of McNuggets, special sauces, medium fries and a coke will be available in Taiwan starting June 9.
Meanwhile, BTS applied their fashion trick of mixing high- and low-cost styles to a new level in marketing deals. According to Reuters, after agreeing to collaborate with McDonald’s, the boyband has been named a “global brand ambassador” for Louis Vuitton (LV). Some diehard fans have said that they plan to buy the meal wearing LV clothing.
BTS won four awards late last month at the Billboard Music Awards, where they gave the debut TV performance of their new English single “Butter.” The boys even broke their own record for most YouTube views in the first 24 hours of release with the song, hitting 113 million views in one day.

When Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed on Friday last week that the company is working with the Trump administration on a new computer chip designed for sale to China, it marked the latest chapter in a long-running debate over how the US should compete with China’s technological ambitions. The reasoning has sometimes changed — with US officials citing national security, human rights or purely economic competition — but the tool has been the same: export controls, or the threat of them. Nvidia believes it can eventually reap US$50 billion from artificial intelligence (AI) chip sales in China. But it so far has
Long before numerals and arithmetic systems developed, humans relied on tally marks to count. These simple, repeated marks — often just straight lines — are one of the earliest and most widespread methods of recording numbers. Archaeological findings suggest that humans began tallying in prehistoric times. During the Late Stone Age in Africa, humans began to carve notches onto bones to create tangible records of quantities. One of the earliest known examples is the Wolf bone, an artifact unearthed in Central Europe in 1937. This bone bears notches believed to be an early form of counting. Even more intriguing
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang In many Western countries, the most common form of tally marks employs a five-bar gate structure: four vertical lines followed by a diagonal slash. To form this group, one begins by drawing four parallel vertical lines, each representing one. For the fifth, draw a diagonal line across the existing four. This diagonal stroke effectively creates a distinct group of five. To continue counting, just initiate a new cycle in the same manner. A set of five tallies combined with a single vertical line next to it represents the number six. Across many Asian countries, the Chinese character
In 2024, multiple airplane accidents caused severe casualties, including a Jeju Air disaster at the year’s end. However, not all incidents ended in tragedy. Early in the year, a Japan Airlines flight caught fire after landing in Tokyo, but all 379 passengers and crew members escaped within 90 seconds. This event highlights the “golden 90 seconds” that experts emphasize — most survivors evacuate the plane within this critical window. Proper preparation ensures you can act quickly and decisively during these crucial moments when every second counts. Your survival strategy begins before takeoff.
