FSC Teaches You How to Prevent Investment Fraud
Recently, there have been numerous investment fraud cases, and the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) urges the public not to trust false information promising high returns and to avoid remitting funds hastily. Carefully verify the authenticity of information to avoid falling into fraud traps. The official website's "Preventing Illegal Securities and Futures Sector Promotion Zone" provides a list of legal securities and futures firms and details on types of illegal entities. Relevant securities and futures associations have also established a "Warning Zone for Non-FSC Approved Securities and Futures Entities and Products," where information on suspicious firms or products is made public. The FSC reminds the public to be vigilant before investing and ensures the firm is a legitimate financial institution. If in doubt, you can call the anti-fraud consultation hotline.
10,000 Cigarette Butt Bins to Beautify the City Without Dead Corners
To enhance environmental cleanliness and reduce cigarette butt pollution, the Ministry of Environment recently issued the "Guidelines for Promoting the Installation of Cigarette Butt Boxes," planning to set up 10,000 cigarette butt bins nationwide. This aims to provide clear disposal points for smokers, maintaining clean and comfortable streets. Over 36.2 billion cigarette butts are discarded annually in our country, not only affecting city appearances but also containing over 4,000 chemicals and hard-to-decompose cellulose acetate plastics that pollute water sources and even enter the ocean, impacting ecosystems and potentially harming human health through the food chain. The Ministry of Environment urges the public to maintain public hygiene together, eliminate the littering of cigarette butts, and create a cleaner living environment.
A Must-Read for Parents: How to Successfully Wean Your Child Off the Pacifier After 18 Months
Many parents are eager to wean their children off the pacifier and start doing so when the child turns one, but at this time, the child's oral desire is still very strong. Experts suggest that the best time to wean the pacifier is after the child is one and a half years old, as the success rate is higher then. Doctors also share the "gentle + firm" method for weaning off the pacifier: first, offer chewable foods, gradually reduce pacifier use during the day, and leave weaning off the pacifier at night until the last. Additionally, parents can poke small holes in the pacifier to gradually diminish the child's interest in it.
