To protect athletes and spectators at Universiade Taipei 2017, the security for the competition last week began security checks in the athletes’ village. While the games are ongoing, the police dogs will patrol the athletes’ village and competition venues and search for explosives.
Speaking at the athletes’ village in New Taipei City’s Linkou district, New Taipei City Police police dog team captain Pan Tian-long last week said 41 dogs, including police German Shepherd Dogs and Labrador Retrievers, will be working with the military police and other departments for the security of venues and the athletes’ village in Taipei and New Taipei City.
The police dog team also demonstrated how a search would happen. A piece of cotton with traces of explosives was hidden in a kitchen counter unit, and another under a pillow on a bed in the athletes’ village. The dogs moved in, checking the area. As soon as they detected the scent, they remained in position, waiting for their handlers to investigate.

A: What types of fruit enzymes should we take to help reduce eye floaters? B: According to a study published in the “Applied Sciences” journal by Taiwanese ophthalmologist Horng Chi-ting, pineapple, papaya and fig supplements can improve symptoms. A: Pineapples are in season now, so you should munch on more of those to get rid of floaters. B: Not quite. Enzymes can be damaged by our stomach acid if we eat the fruit directly.

People take pride in the oval-shaped sticky Japonica grain, which is still a staple even though total consumption has fallen over the decades.
