Angelina Jolie Undergoes Double Mastectomy
Actress Angelina Jolie announced in an article in The New York Times recently that she underwent a preventive double mastectomy after learning that she carries a mutation of a gene which sharply increases her risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. "My doctors estimated that I had an 87 percent risk of breast cancer and a 50 percent risk of ovarian cancer although the risk is different in the case of each woman," Jolie wrote. "Once I knew that this was my reality, I decided to be proactive and to minimize the risk as much as I could." A mastectomy is an operation that removes all or part of the breast. Jolie's mother, actress and producer Marcheline Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer in 2007 at the age of 56.

Taiwan to Enforce World's Strictest Drunk Driving Law
Taiwan entered a zero tolerance era on drunk driving on June 13, 2013, when the world's toughest standards for alcohol levels in motorists went into effect. Under the revised criminal code, motorists will be subject to prosecution if they are caught with a blood alcohol content of 0.05 percent or above.
Lin Kuo-hsian, head of the MOTC's Department of Railways and Highways, said the new restrictions are the world's strictest, putting Taiwan on a par with Japan, a country that has zero tolerance for drunk driving. Under the revised criminal code, those who drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be subject to a prison sentence of up to two years and a maximum fine of NT$200,000.
全世界最严格的酒驾法规正式上路
台湾在 2013 年六月十三日进入了对酒驾行为『零容忍』的时代,在此同时,全世界最严格的驾驶人酒测值标准也正式生效。根据修订后的刑法规定,驾驶人如果被抓到血液中酒精含量在百分之零点零五以上就会遭到起诉。
