National Miaoli Agricultural and Industrial Vocational High School has collaborated with the Miaoli Motor Vehicle Office to be the first school in the county to allow students to take motorcycle tests on school grounds. Students are very pleased with the arrangement made by the school and the motor vehicle office to hold in-school motorcycle tests as it saves them the trouble of running around.
Thirteen students, both male and female, had applied to take the test at the school. One girl failed the written test. Afterward, the road test was conducted, and two male students accidentally crossed the traffic signal line twice and failed the test.
Miaoli Agricultural school principal Chen Chin-tung said over the years the school has found that once high school seniors turn 18 years old, they cannot wait to take time off from school and go to the nearby hospital for a medical check, and then go to the motor vehicle office to take the test. Rushing back and forth could easily cause accidents, and taking time off puts schoolwork on hold, he said. The school therefore coordinated with the Miaoli Motor Vehicle Office to organize a team within the school to offer on-campus testing services.

Lin I-ting, the first girl to pass the test, said that she spent two weekends going to a practice range in Toufen Township, and was able to pass the test in just one attempt. She was very happy.
A representative from the Miaoli Motor Vehicle Office said that if there is further demand for on-campus driving tests in schools throughout the county, the office will do all it can to accommodate it.

國立苗栗農工與苗栗監理站**合作**,全縣首創高中職在校生就地機車考照。學生們對校方與監理站安排到校園考照,免於奔波之苦,大力按讚。
苗農上周二有十三名男女學生報考,筆試有一名女學生未過關,隨即進行路考,二名男學生在直線紅綠燈關卡**不慎**二次都未過關。
苗農校長陳進通說,多年來校方發現,高三學生一滿十八歲,總會迫不及待請假到鄰近醫院體檢,再自行到苗栗監理站考照,往返奔波容易發生意外,請假也易耽誤課業,校方於是與苗栗監理站協調,舉辦團體在校就地考照服務。
第一位過關是女學生林怡婷,她說,花了二個週末假期到頭份鎮一處練習場練習,一次就考過,真的很開心。
苗栗監理站代表說,縣內各高中職以上學校,若有在校生就地考照需求,監理站將全力**配合**。

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. HOW IS EMBRYO FREEZING USED IN IVF? IVF uses high doses of hormones to stimulate ovaries to produce as many eggs as possible. Once
A situation puzzle is a game in which one person describes a scenario and asks the players to explain it. The situation is deliberately lacking in details, but the players may acquire more information by asking questions — however, these can only be answered with “yes” or “no.” A player wins by describing the approximate events that led up to the situation. To do so, they must use a blend of logical and lateral thinking. A famous example of this is sometimes known as “Turtle Soup.” Here’s the riddle: “A man in a restaurant orders turtle soup, tastes it
