👉🏻Lyrics
Here comes a wave meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand, left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder
But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Written in stone
Every rule, every word
Centuries old and unbending
"Stay in your place"
"Better seen and not heard"
But now that story is ending
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won't live unspoken
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
Hear the echo saying…

👉🏻Lyrics
Slow it down, make it stop
Or else my heart is going to pop
Cause it's too much, yeah it's a lot
To be something I'm not
I'm a fool, out of love
'Cause I just can't get enough
I'm just a little bit caught in the middle
Life is a maze, and love is a riddle
I don't know where to go
Can't do it alone
I've tried, and I don't know why
I'm just a little girl lost in the moment
I'm so scared but I don't show it
I can't figure it out
It's bringing me down
I know, I've got to let it go
And just enjoy the show
The sun is hot in the sky
Just like a giant spotlight
The people follow the signs
And synchronize in time
It's a joke, no body knows
They've got a ticket to that show
I want my money back
Just enjoy the show

In November 2022, OpenAl announced ChatGPT, trained on thousands, tens of thousands of Nvidia GPUs in a very large AI supercomputer: One million users after five days, one million after five days, 100 million after two months, the fastest-growing application in history.
And the reason for that is very simple. It is just so easy to use, and it was so magical to use to be able to interact with a computer like it's human. Instead of being clear about what you want, it's like the computer understands your meaning. It understands your intention.
Until ChatGPT revealed it to the world. AI was all about perception, natural language understanding, computer vision, speech recognition. It's all about perception and detection.
This was the first time the world saw a generative AI.
It produced tokens one token at a time, and those tokens were words. Some of the tokens, of course, could now be images or charts or tables, songs, words, speech, videos. Those tokens could be anything, anything that you can learn the meaning of. Everything that we can learn, we can now generate. We have now arrived not at the Al era, but a generative Al era.

In general, Balinese people name their children depending on the order they are born, and the names are the same for both males and females. The firstborn child is named Wayan, Putu or Gede, the second is named Made or Kadek, the third child goes by Nyoman or Komang, and the fourth is named Ketut. If a family has more than four children, the cycle repeats itself.
However, you might run into people with names that don’t fit into any of these categories. This is probably because they go by their nickname. With so many Wayans and Mades around, there are nicknames in Bali based on physical attributes such as Made Gemuk (fat Wayan), character traits like Ketut Santi (peaceful Ketut).
Balinese people try to be in harmony with their gods. They have two ways: ask the good for assistance and appease the evil. For this reason, you can find a small basket called Canangsa with flowers, oils, salt, money and cookies on all possible conflict points such as crossroads or bridges, but also in front of shops, especially on the sidewalks. You should walk carefully to avoid stepping on it.
You will find black and white checkered textile wrapped around statues, trunks, rocks or shrines. Everything goes back to the Balinese philosophy of balance. In the cloth there is an equal number of alternating black and white squares. Together they symbolize the coexistence of opposites.

👉🏻新聞節錄
Taiwanese television host Mickey Huang has apologized for possessing pornographic videos of underage girls, but his apology failed to alleviate public anger in Taiwan.The 52-year-old was involved in Taiwan’s #MeToo movement in June 2023, when he was accused by two female netizens of sexual harassment which took place about 10 years ago.
The Taipei District Prosecutors Office announced on April 3 that Huang would not be prosecuted due to a lack of objective evidence. The artiste, who previously enjoyed a positive image, has also reached a settlement with the two alleged victims. However, the prosecutors found seven sex videos of underage girls on Huang’s hard disk during the investigation. He was ordered to pay a fine of NT$1.2 million and write a letter of repentance.
After his latest misdeed was made public, a huge backlash followed, and he took to social media on April 4 to apologize. Now he is facing an allegation of raping a 17-year-old girl almost two decades ago. Huang’s misdeeds also led to calls for Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan to establish a framework to better protect minors from abuse, sexual assaults and sexual exploitation.

When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothing like me yet
I could make you happy, make your dreams come true
Nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the Earth for you
To make you feel my love
To make you feel my love

Governments across East Asia have been trying to convince women to have more babies. It’s getting existential: China is fast running out of the workers needed to power its economy and is forecast to lose as many as 200 million workers by 2050.
Their efforts are failing. Birthrates continue to fall. But some are hoping for a baby boom, or even a baby boomlet. According to Chinese astrology, the dragon is the most auspicious Zodiac animal. As the only mythical creature of the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac, it is considered divine and powerful. Many believe children born in the Year of the Dragon are more likely to be successful and fortunate all their lives.
Under the system, which assigns traits to each animal, some years are less popular, like that of the tiger (too fierce), the goat (too timid) or the snake (seen as manipulative and cunning). The Year of the Golden Pig has also led to baby booms. Golden Pigs are said to have lifelong comfort and wealth.
The superstition is not entirely baseless. According to a study, those born during a dragon year were more likely to score higher on university entrance exams and to have a college education. But the reason had nothing to do with the cosmos. It was the extra time and money that parents spend on those children. “People think that these dragon kids are special and they want to have special kids, and when they have these kids, they invest in them and expect great things from them. And this makes them successful, and the cycle continues,” said Naci Mocan, one of the authors of the study.

👉🏻Lyrics
Tell me something, girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there something else you're searching for?
I'm falling
In all the good times
I find myself longing for change
And, in the bad times, I fear myself
Tell me something, boy
Aren't you tired tryna fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?
I'm falling
In all the good times
I find myself longing for change
And, in the bad times, I fear myself
I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now
In the sha-ha, sha-hallow
In the sha-ha, sha-la-la-la-low
In the sha-ha, sha-hallow
We're far from the shallow now
