A: What show are you watching online?
B: I’m watching “Fly Me to the Moon & Back” – an exhibition launched by the Taipei Music Center (TMC) to commemorate the late singer Tom Chang.
A: Known for his sky-high notes, Chang is praised as one of the best singers in the 1990s. His death at the age of 31 was a major loss indeed.

B: And I’m so glad that we went to the TMC’s 90s-themed concert last Friday. I finally saw the iconic “Godmother of Rock” WaWa perform live.
A: This year-end show also featured singers Princess Ai, Bii, Wayne Huang, PoLin and boyband U:NUS. It’s fun to go back to the 90s again.
A: 你在看什麼網路節目？
B: 我在看《想你到月球－－張雨生特展》，是台北流行音樂中心舉辦的線上紀念特展。
A: 張雨生嗓音高亢嘹亮，常被譽為1990年代最棒的歌手，但他才31歲就過世了真是英年早逝。
B: 我很高興我們上週五還去了北流的90年代演唱會，終於聽到「搖滾教母」娃娃（金智娟）開唱。
A: 這場年終盛會表演者還包括：戴愛玲、畢書盡、黃偉晉、柏霖、男團U:NUS。再次回到90年代真酷！

A: In addition to the biopic “Michael,” comedy “The Devil Wears Prada 2” is finally in theaters. I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since the 2006 debut of the original film. B: Does the sequel still revolve around the fashion industry? A: This time, “Miranda,” the fashion magazine editor-in-chief played by Meryl Streep, will team up with her former assistant “Andy,” played by Anne Hathaway, to fight against Emily, her other ex-assistant played by Emily Blunt. B: Isn’t the role of “Miranda” based on then US “Vogue” editor-in-chief Anna Wintour? A: Yup, it established Anna’s fashion status, influenced pop culture
Few sea creatures of their size have as much destructive power as pistol shrimp. These small animals, usually measuring around four centimeters long, produce shock waves that can stun or even kill their prey. The attack begins when the shrimp opens its specialized claw, allowing water to fill a chamber inside. Then the claw closes rapidly. A bump on the claw strikes the chamber, forcing the trapped water out through a narrow opening at a high speed of about 25 meters per second. The rapid movement forms a bubble in the water that collapses almost instantly under the pressure of the

Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang One way to monitor marine biodiversity is to send divers down to take photos and notes; however, this method is expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes risky. On coral reefs, noise is an indicator of a healthy seabed. This is largely thanks to pistol shrimp, which often live inside sea sponges on coral reefs. The healthier the reef, the more pistol shrimp it hosts. This makes them perfect biological indicators. However, counting them visually is tricky because they often stay hidden. To address this, scientists turn to sound. Pistol shrimp snaps are loud, short, and rich in energy. They stand out
