Museums in New Taipei City are now implementing cultural equality initiatives, with the Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology opening early for autistic visitors, the Tamsui Historical Museum holding Vietnamese language tours and the New Taipei City Yingge Ceramics Museum inviting Aboriginal ceramic artists to hold an exhibition.
The Shihsanhang Museum of Archaeology’s “early morning museum” is held on the first Saturday of every month, when the museum opens its doors an hour early so that autistic visitors can enjoy a quiet environment and have a space all to themselves. Autistic visitors to the “early morning museum” will have an area where they can read uninterrupted when they are feeling low which will help to reduce feelings of anxiety.
Meanwhile, the Tamsui Historical Museum is offering tours in Vietnamese so that new immigrants can learn more about Tamsui’s natural and cultural history in their mother tongue.

NASA decided Saturday last week it’s too risky to bring two astronauts back to Earth in Boeing’s troubled new capsule, and they’ll have to wait until next year for a ride home with SpaceX. What should have been a weeklong test flight for the pair will now last more than eight months. The seasoned pilots have been stuck at the International Space Station since the beginning of June. A cascade of vexing thruster failures and helium leaks in the new capsule marred their trip to the space station, and they ended up in a holding pattern as engineers conducted tests and

Ask your grandparents what cookies are, and you’ll probably be told they are tasty treats made from flour, sugar, butter, and a few other ingredients. Ever since 1994, however, the term has taken on a completely different meaning related to the Internet. In that year, a 23-year-old American programmer named Lou Montulli invented the cookie.
