A recent burglary (nạn ăn trộm) in Shoreline has a lot of folks asking a lot of questions.

...On arrival, deputies were directed to the lobby where everything appeared to be in place other than the elevator door (cửa thang máy). They concluded that it must have been stolen overnight.

According to the KCSO, the cost to replace the door could run from $7,000 to $10,000.

As of Monday morning, there are no new developments in the case and deputies are hoping for some leads. It is unclear if there was one suspect who somehow acted alone or if there were multiple individuals who pulled off the peculiar (lạ kỳ, khác thường; lập dị, kỳ dị) caper (hành động dại dột; hành động kỳ cục).

As face-mask demand surges amid the novel coronavirus outbreak, officials in Hanoi, Vietnam, discovered a company producing face masks (khẩu trang) partially out of toilet paper (giấy vệ sinh).

Officials learned on Wednesday that Viet Han Company Ltd was using large toilet paper rolls (cuộn giấy) at its factory (nhà máy) in the city.

The material (nguyên liệu) was used to replace an antibacterial layer usually found in masks, said Hoang Dai Nghia, chief of Team 1 at the Hanoi Market Surveillance (giám sát thị trường) Agency.

Hoang told the Vietnam Express that Viet Han Company sought to profit (lợi nhuận) off the COVID-19 pandemic (đại dịch), which has infected (lây nhiễm) more than 63,000 people in China and killed at least 1,380. Sixteen cases have been confirmed in Vietnam.

"This company is cheating consumers (lừa dối người tiêu dùng) amid the novel coronavirus outbreak (đợt bùng phát)," he said, adding that the company's stock was confiscated (bị tịch thu) and the agency is considering the highest penalties possible.

Viet Han Company is a printing and napkin company. It is not registered as a producer of medical supplies (thiết bị y tế).

Cannabis (cây gai dầu) growers (người trồng) led armed police to their own doorstep - after exploding (phát nổ) soft drinks cans on a hot coal barbecue.

A concerned member of public called the police after hearing the three Red Bull cans exploding, believing them to have been gunshots (súng nổ) being fired inside a house.

Armed officers quickly surrounded the semi-detached property in Hollydale Road, Bakersfield.

They heard loud voices from the back of the house, only to find the burst cans.

Police found two men inside surrounded by cannabis plants.

Following a search, 180 cannabis plants were seized and officers also found a large amount of fertilizer, chemicals, three mobile phones and a large amount of cash.

NASA’s first new space potty (cái bô của trẻ con) in decades — a $23 million titanium toilet better suited for women (phù hợp hơn với nữ phi hành gia) — is getting a not-so-dry run at the International Space Station before eventually flying to the moon (bay lên mặt trăng).

It’s packed inside a cargo ship set to blast off late Thursday from Wallops Island, Virginia.

Barely 100 pounds (45 kilograms) and just 28 inches (71 centimeters) tall, it’s roughly half as big as the two Russian-built toilets at the space station. It's more camper-size to fit into the NASA Orion capsules that will carry astronauts (phi hành gia) to the moon in a few years.

Station residents will test it out for a few months. If the shakedown goes well, the toilet will be open for regular business.

With SpaceX now launching astronauts to the space station and Boeing less than a year from sending up its first crew, more toilets are needed.

A man walking into the Neiman Marcus store at an Atlanta mall (siêu thị) Saturday night accidentally set off his gun while he was “adjusting his pants,” (chỉnh quần)

The gunshot (tiếng súng nổ) rang out through the Lenox Square mall around 6 p.m. Saturday, Sgt. John Chafee told the Daily News Sunday.

Witnesses (nhân chứng) initially told police (ban đầu nói với cảnh sát) there may have been a “dispute” (tranh cãi) between two people, but officers confirmed (xác nhận) that no such fight (ẩu đả) happened.

Instead, the armed man fired the “accidental” discharge while adjusting, Chafee said.

No one was injured (bị thương), but the man fled the scene and has not been identified (xác định danh tính) or located.

“We urge gun owners to be responsible and we would recommend they leave their firearms at home while they are out shopping in public areas,” Chafee said.

Police officers hurried to tackle (giải quyết) a supposed snake (con rắn) in a toilet bowl in the Czech town of Milovice. What they discovered wasn’t any kind of a living animal and they quickly eliminated it with the flush button (nút xả)

The municipality police of the Czech town of Milovice had a rather smelly (nặng mùi, hôi, thối, ôi) case to deal with.

They received a phone call from a terrified (thất kinh, khiếp đảm) woman telling them that she found a snake in her toilet. She blocked the toilet and waited anxiously (lo lắng, bồn chồn) for the officers to rescue (giải cứu) her.

The police hurried to her apartment thinking how big of a snake can fit in a toilet bowl and what would be the best technique (kỹ thuật) to use for the capture (bắt rắn).

When they arrived at the scene (đến hiện trường), they found the toilet lid (nắp bồn cầu) covered by electronics the woman put there to prevent (ngăn chặn) the animal (con vật) from escaping (chạy thoát) to her flat (căn hộ).

One of the police officers gathered up courage and lifted the lid with the device on it.

As he didn’t end up bitten (bị cắn) and no creature (sinh vật, loài vật) managed to escape from under the lid, the officers used a flashlight (đèn pin) to investigate (điều tra) the insides of the toilet bowl.

What they found was, by no means, a venomous (có độc) snake, even though the shape (hình dạng) of the object did share some similarity (giống nhau).

Disgusted by the brown finding, they decided to eliminate it by flushing it to the place where such items belong.

They said their goodbyes to the embarrassed (xấu hổ) lady and left to solve another mysterious case (vụ việc kỳ bí).

A man tried to drive across a partially frozen (đóng băng) lake (hồ) in the Pittsburgh area, but his SUV ended up partially submerged (chìm ngập, ở dưới mặt nước).

Police say he offered two very different explanations as to why he was driving on the lake.

Sounds a bit like a fishy story.

...Police say the driver was not under the influence.

When they questioned him and asked why he drove through the boat launch and onto the lake they got quite the response.

"He said he thought it'd be fun to drive on the ice. But then he thought it was a parking lot (bãi đỗ xe),” said Allegheny County Police Lieutenant Scott Scherer.

...The evidence ... Ronnie -- aka "The Rocket" -- was participating (tham gia) in the Northern Ireland Open on Wednesday, competing against (thi đấu với) Matthew Stevens when someone tore ass (đánh rắm).

The arena was basically empty (trống, vắng) due to COVID -- so the only people in the room were the players and officials.

In other words, you could hear a pin drop (nghe tiếng kim rơi) ... or in this case, a buttcheek ripple.

The poot (tiếng rắm) was so loud (rõ to), everyone took notice -- including the announcers (người giới thiệu diễn giả, ca sĩ, chương trình (trên đài phát thanh hoặc truyền hình)) who immediately (ngay lập tức) cracked jokes (pha trò) and began to suggest Ronnie was the flatulator (người bị đầy bụng).

But, Ronnie didn't take the blame initially -- instead, looking at an official and asking, "Was that you?!"

J'ACCUSE!!!

But, the denial (phủ nhận) didn't last long, Ronnie eventually copped to the anal honk ... saying after the match, "I dropped my guts -- I am taking full ownership of that. I have had stomach problems for a couple of months."

theo giáo sư tâm lý trường đại học columbia (kinh nghiệm thực tế) thì là... hút cần nhé :D

-----

Carl Hart is a Columbia University professor (giáo sư) of psychology (tâm lý học) and neuroscience (khoa học thần kinh). He chairs the psych department and has a fondness for heroin – not only as a subject of scholarly pursuit but also as a substance for personal use.

At 54, the married father of three has snorted (khịt (mũi), hít (ma túy)) small amounts of heroin for as many as 10 days in a row and enjoyed it mightily – even if, as he recalls in his new book “Drug Use for Grown-ups: Chasing Liberty in the Land of Fear” (Penguin Press), he’s experienced mild withdrawal symptoms “12 to 16 hours after the last dose.”

But, as Hart sees it, the discomfort is a worthwhile trade-off.

“There aren’t many things in life that I enjoy more than a few lines by the fireplace at the end of the day,” he writes, pointing out that the experience leaves him “refreshed” and “prepared to face another day.”

Hart, who studies the effects of psychoactive drugs on humans, finds his use of the narcotic (chất gây ngủ hoặc đôi khi tạo ra trạng thái thờ thẫn; thuốc mê; thuốc làm ảnh hưởng đến tinh thần; ma túy) to be “as rational as my alcohol use. Like vacation, sex and the arts, heroin is one of the tools that I use to maintain my work-life balance (cân bằng công việc và cuộc sống).”

chú chim bồ câu alabama vượt qua 8.000 km tới úc (kỳ tích), giờ phải đối mặt với... "án tử hình" vì các nhà chức trách e ngại covid-19...

An Alabama racing pigeon (chim đua) that survived a lengthy and mysterious (khó giải thích, khó hiểu, bí ẩn) trip across the Pacific Ocean (thái bình dương) — landing last month in an Australian backyard — is now facing the death penalty (án tử hình).

Local authorities, worried about disease (bệnh), say they plan to kill (giết) the bird as soon as they can catch it.

...But while Joe may have survived the 8,000-mile journey, Australia has some of the world’s strictest quarantine (cách ly) laws, and a pigeon from the United States could be carrying exotic (vật ngoại lai) diseases that threaten Australia’s biosecurity, authorities said.

Under normal circumstances, importing a pigeon would require permits (giấy phép), health certificates and a reservation at a quarantine facility.

In 2015, Australian authorities threatened to euthanize two dogs belonging to Johnny Depp and his then-wife Amber Heard, after they sneaked the Yorkshire terriers into the country without the proper permits.

One of the Tower of London's ravens (quạ), the conspiracy (âm mưu) of birds whose fate is said to be intertwined (quấn vào nhau, bện vào nhau) with that of Britain, is missing, feared dead, the royal palace said on Thursday.

"We have some really unhappy news to share," the Tower announced on its website.

"Our much-loved raven Merlina has not been seen at the Tower for several weeks, and her continued absence indicates to us that she may have sadly passed away," it added.

According to folklore, if there are fewer than six ravens left to guard the Tower, both the kingdom (vương quốc) and country will collapse (sụp đổ).

...It was a perplexing (phức tạp, rắc rối, khó hiểu) and costly (hao tiền tốn của, tai hại) dilemma (thế tiến thoái lưỡng nan, tình trạng khó xử), and it took a stroke of luck to solve the mystery of what was causing the outages on NorthWestern’s transmission lines (truyền điện, dây điện).

Late one winter afternoon, NorthWestern Energy employee James Lueck was out with a crew who were working on the 500kV lines. Just as the sun was starting to set, huge flocks of ravens (đàn quạ khổng lồ) began landing on the 500kV towers to roost (đậu, ngủ) for the night.

“It was like something out of a Hitchcock movie,” Lueck said.

Ravens are a challenge for energy companies because their numbers — flocks can number in the thousands.

They roost on power lines and leave droppings (phân chim) on insulators (cái cách điện). When the dried droppings combine with fog (sương mù) or light rain, the mixture conducts electricity and creates a bridge along the insulator “skirts,” which causes a fault (rò điện) on the line. It creates the perfect opportunity for outages (mất điện).

A mathematics university professor (giáo sư toán đại học) discovered the hard way that silence isn’t always golden.

After delivering a Zoom lecture for two hours, Professor Dong Wang of National University of Singapore soon realized that none of his students heard a word because his mic had been muted (câm, thầm lặng, lặng thinh, ngầm, không nói được nên lời, im hơi lặng tiếng; chặn tiếng, làm câm).

Wang then called for questions from the roughly 20 students who actually stayed connected to the online class throughout the whole thing — and got nothing but crickets.

...A student answered that they only heard a little at the beginning, at 6 p.m., and nothing else from 6:08 p.m. on as his screen froze.

A clearly rattled (bối rối, lo sợ, ngơ ngác) Wang then told the class that he’d repeat the entire lecture another time.

Azusa Chan, one of the students, told the news outlet that the professor inexplicably (không lý giải nổi) muted himself.

“Students tried all sorts of things to get his attention by unmuting and even calling his phone number. However, he did not respond and continued with the lesson,”

They’ve long been thought of as smarter (thông minh) than your average (trung bình) animal, but now researchers (nhà nghiên cứu) claim they have taught pigs to use a joystick (cần điều khiển), suggesting they are even cleverer than previously thought.

Pigs have previously been found to be capable of a host of tasks, including solving multiple-choice puzzles (câu đố), and learning commands (hiệu lệnh) such as “sit”.

Now researchers in the US say they have successfully trained four pigs to manipulate (vận hành, thao túng) a joystick and control a cursor (con trỏ trên màn hình điện toán) on a monitor.

“Potentially there may be more that pigs are capable of learning and understanding and responding to than we have previously envisaged,” said Prof Candace Croney of Purdue University, who co-authored the research.
