Ed Jarrett has built a sand castle that is nearly 10 meters tall. He is trying to raise money for children who are very sick. He hopes the structure will be named the world's tallest sand castle.
The sand castle measures 9.6m high and the paperwork will be sent to Guinness World Records. They'll determine whether the castle makes the record book.
More than 1,000 people volunteered over the past two months to help build the castle. Organizers said they used 40 dump truck loads of sand.
The castle was built for an event called "Castle to the Sun." The event was used to raise money for the charity Camp Sunshine.
Jarrett created a sand castle in Falmouth in 2003 that was nearly 9m tall. At the time, that castle was determined to be the world's tallest.(Staff Writer, with AFP)
為了替重病孩童募款,艾德.傑瑞特建造了一座將近十公尺高的沙堡。他希望此座沙堡可以成為全世界最高的沙堡。
這座沙堡有九點六公尺高,申請文件將送到《金氏世界紀錄》,而他們會審核這座沙堡是否刷新世界紀錄。
這兩個多月來,超過一千位義工一起打造這座沙堡。活動負責人表示,他們總共使用了四十輛砂石車的沙子。
這個沙堡是為了一個叫做「陽光沙堡」的活動而蓋的。這個活動是為了替慈善團體陽光基金會募款而舉辦的。
傑瑞特在二OO三年曾在美國弗爾茅斯市蓋了一座將近九公尺高的沙堡。當時,那座沙堡是世界上最高的沙堡。(法新社/翻譯:袁星塵)

Let’s explore another delicacy primarily known to Tainan locals: floating milkfish in thick soup. Despite its peculiar name, this dish is another Tainan specialty that showcases the popularity of milkfish, which is made into fish paste and served in thick soup. Unlike the version with tutuo fish, which also adds other ingredients to its thick soup, the floating milkfish version primarily features the “floating fish” itself in its thick soup, ensuring that the fish paste remains the star of the dish. 讓我們來探索另一道台南人熟悉的美食:浮水魚羹。這道菜名奇特的美食,再再展現了台南虱目魚料理的多樣。浮水魚羹是用虱目魚漿做成的羹品,雖然和𩵚魠魚羹一樣是羹湯,但不像𩵚魠魚羹會在湯中加入其他食材,而是讓虱目魚漿成為這道料理的主角。 peculiar (adj.) 獨特的;古怪的 The belly of a milkfish is considered the most
The practice of freezing embryos as part of in vitro fertilization (IVF) was thrown into chaos in Alabama this year, when the state supreme court ruled that such embryos should be considered children, exposing clinics to wrongful death claims in the event they are destroyed in the thawing process. In 2021, more than 80 percent of US IVF procedures involved the transfer of frozen embryos, according to a recent report by the US Department of Health and Human Services.
