Snake people are unpredictable, and it’s difficult to second-guess what they are thinking. Don’t expect to see them flitting around from one project to the next; when a snake decides to do something you can be sure that he has thought through every detail of his plan. Snake people are the quintessential epicureans who revel in the finer things in life, like fine wines, good food and sparkling conversation. Due to their inherent introspectiveness, snake people can be misconstrued as shy or aloof.
屬蛇的人難以捉摸，外人很難猜測他們內心的想法。他們做事不會虎頭蛇尾、半途而廢；一旦決定做一件事，一定會先擬定計畫，仔細想過每個細節。肖蛇者是典型的享樂主義者，喜歡沉迷於生活中美好的事物，如：美酒、美食及活潑有趣的談話。因為天性好自省，所以肖蛇者有時會因為害羞或漠然而遭到誤會。
FOR 2009:
Money: A great fortune could be coming your way, but only if you are prepared to work hard for it. If you are lazy, then opportunity will pass you by.
Love: Tread carefully in love this year. Snake people in relationships could be in for a rough time, while single snakes are unlikely to find love.
Health: The biggest danger is letting negative feelings from your love life affect your physical well-being. (John Phillips, staff writer)
二ＯＯ九年的運勢：
財運：可能會得到一筆為數不小的財富，但你得努力工作才能得到。如果太懶散，機會就會和你擦肩而過。
愛情運：要用心維繫感情。有伴侶的人可能會陷入感情低潮，單身者也不太容易找到對象。
健康運：最大的健康危機是讓戀情不順的負面情緒連帶影響健康。(翻譯：袁星塵)

Even as he grows older, Microsoft founder Bill Gates still fondly remembers the catalytic computer code he wrote 50 years ago that opened up a new frontier in technology. Although the code that Gates printed out on a teletype machine may look crude compared to what’s powering today’s artificial intelligence platforms, it played a critical role in creating Microsoft in April 1975 — a golden anniversary that the Redmond, Washington, company celebrated on April 4. Gates, 69, set the stage for that jubilee with a blog post reminiscing on how he and his old high school friend — the late Paul Allen
Australia’s strict immigration policies have long been criticized, particularly for how they treat people with disabilities. Having been residents of Australia for years, Scottish Laura Currie and her Italian partner, Dante Vendittelli, recently experienced the impact of these immigration policies. Their son Luca, born in Australia and diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, became the reason their residency application was denied due to the anticipated high healthcare costs. Had Luca been healthy, there would have been no objections to their permanent residency. This case not only highlights discrimination against disabled individuals, but also raises questions about fairness and inclusion within Australia’s immigration
