• pretzel n. 椒鹽脆餅

Now, a new trend has started called Broga, which is the manlier version of yoga. In 2009, Robert Sidoti trademarked the name Broga, and he has licensed more than 200 Broga instructors since then. The main fear men have of going to a yoga class is that they will look foolish in front of a room full of women. Many men might feel embarrassed if they could not touch their toes while all the women beside them are twisting their bodies into pretzels. 現在，一種名為哥兒們瑜珈的新潮流已經展開，這是一種較為陽剛版本的瑜珈。 2009年，羅伯特 •希達堤為哥兒們瑜珈這個名字註冊了商標，並在那之後認證了兩百多位哥兒們瑜珈教練。男人對於參加瑜珈課程的主要恐懼來自於當他們置身於一個全是女人的場地前面時，他們會顯得很笨拙。當身旁所有的女人能把身體扭曲成脆餅狀時，大多數的男人會因摸不到自己的腳趾頭而感到尷尬。

Surfing super-cop cracks unsolved case
曾救溺水女學生 鑑識警官再揪逍遙八年搶匪

A fingerprint linking a suspect with a crime committed eight years ago is shown in a photograph provided by Taichung City Police Department’s Fengyuan Precinct.

臺中市豐原分局鑑識巡官高培邦憑這枚嫌犯指紋，再三比對出八年前搶匪身分。

Kao Pei-pang, a 27-year-old police inspector with Taichung City Police Department’s Fengyuan Precinct Criminal Investigation Corps identification team, was recently transferred to a post at Heping Precinct’s Criminal Investigation Corps. Kao, a lover of sports, hit the news more than three years ago while surfing in Miaoli county with two classmates from Central Police University, when he saved the life of a drowning first-year female student.

Two months ago, Kao reopened an old unsolved case and carried out a cross-check of the identification information. Surprisingly, the cross-check found a match with the identity of a thief in a robbery case involving a female student eight years ago. Following more than a month of investigation, Kao finally tracked down the male suspect, surnamed Yu. Although Yu denied his involvement in the criminal case, he was nevertheless unable to explain the evidence of his fingerprints and in the end was brought to justice by the police for the robbery.

現年二十七歲的臺中市豐原分局偵查隊鑑識小組巡官高培邦，剛調至和平分局偵查隊任職，平時喜愛運動的他，三年多前與另兩名警大同學在苗栗衝浪時，及時救上一名溺水國一女學生，登上媒體版面。

高培邦兩個多月前重新開啟未破舊案資料，與鑑識資料進行交叉比對，意外比對出八年前的女學生搶奪案歹徒身分，經一個多月查訪終於找到涉嫌的余姓男子。余男雖否認犯案，卻對證物上有他的指紋無法交代，最後仍遭警方依搶奪罪嫌函送法辦。
