The Yunlin-Chiayi-Tainan Regional Branch of the Ministry of Labor’s Workforce Development Agency has delegated Jiashuo Enterprise Company’s affiliated vocational training center with the task of setting up an intelligent hydroelectric automated control application course. Follwing the three-month intensive training course, participants held a demonstration of their work on Wednesday last week, with 21 participants gathered to see the unveiling of their improved aquaponic system design. They all felt proud of their achievement.
Course instructor Chen Hung-ming said that participants used the skills they had learned to build a multifunctional symbiotic circulatory system based on a fish- and plant-friendly aquaponic system and incorporating additional improvements. The system consists mainly of a three-layer structure. The first level is the upper water layer, which is used to raise crustaceans that require clear water conditions. The second is the nursery layer, designed with germination boxes that employ aeroponic cultivation, which is suitable for growing seedlings or vegetable sprouts. It uses a misting system that regulates the moisture and the timing of irrigation by way of an automatic control mechanism. The third level is the lower water layer, which is designed as a fish-rearing tank.
In addition, on the side there is a “hanging garden” in which plants and vegetables are planted in the water pipes, allowing it to serve either ornamental or agricultural functions.

勞動部勞動力發展署雲嘉南分署委託伽碩企業公司附設職業訓練中心所開辦的「智能水電自動控制應用班」,經過三個月密集訓練課程之後,上週三舉辦成果發表會,二十一位學員齊聚一堂,看到改良設計的魚菜共生設計系統亮相,感到驕傲。
授課老師陳鴻銘表示,學員將所學技能運用在多功能共生循環系統上,以友善魚菜共生系統為基礎並加以改良;系統主要為一個三層的架構,第一層上水層以飼養需清澈水質的蝦蟹類,第二層育苗層設計氣耕種子發芽箱,適合作苗育功能或芽菜類種植,以噴霧式系統透過自動控制裝置以控制水分與給水時間,而第三層下水層則設計為可養殖魚類的飼養池。
此外,在側邊裝置了「空中花園」,以水管管路種植植物、蔬菜,以營造觀賞或農作的功能用途。

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
Drive-through (or drive-thru) restaurants provide people with the immense convenience of being able to purchase and pick up meals without needing to leave their vehicles. These restaurants have been around for decades, and their success has spawned a number of equally handy services. The drive-through concept originated with the drive-in restaurant, the first of which was established in the US in 1921. Patrons would order and eat the food that was delivered to their cars by workers called “carhops.” Ten years later, a drive-through service was introduced, but it was not until 1947 that the first exclusively drive-through restaurant opened its
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice. Japanese people have enjoyed noodles for over 1,000 years. The first noodles came from China and were introduced around 800 CE. As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon. Ramen, typically made from wheat flour, is usually thin and firm. The dough is kneaded and left to
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
