If you plan to visit the Fongshan area by taking the Kaohsiung Metro to Fongshan station, your first port of call should be the Fongyi Academy. Steeped in history and literature and situated within the old Qing Dynasty-era Fongshan City, Fongyi Academy was where young Qing Dynasty-era students went to receive an education. The academy also served as an examination hall and was the highest seat of learning in southern Taiwan at the time.
Following a five-year-long restoration, the academy reopened to the public on Nov. 1, 2014. Visitors to the academy should first take a moment to admire the beautiful architecture. The academy is arranged around three interconnecting courtyards which house an entrance gate, lecture room and hall, while the left and right sides house student dormitories.
To ensure that visiting an old building is not a dull experience, adorable molded statues have been placed in many spaces in order to return the building to its original historic setting and recreate the appearance of old Fongshan. Weary travelers can sit in one of the former students’ dormitories and order a cup of tea and light snacks.

搭捷運玩鳳山的首站,就先從充滿歷史、書香氣息的鳳儀書院開始。在清朝的鳳山古城內,鳳儀書院乃是當時學童求學的教室和考場,可說是當時南部地區的最高學府。
歷經五年整修後,二○一四年十一月一日重新開放,參觀就從其建築之美看起,前後共三進式的書院格局,包括頭門、講堂、廳堂,左右側還分別設有學生宿舍。

為了不讓參觀傳統建築過於單調,多處空間還擺設了可愛的塑像群,還原當時的歷史場景及重現鳳山老面貌,逛累了還可坐在學舍內點些茶飲和茶點。

NASA decided Saturday last week it’s too risky to bring two astronauts back to Earth in Boeing’s troubled new capsule, and they’ll have to wait until next year for a ride home with SpaceX. What should have been a weeklong test flight for the pair will now last more than eight months. The seasoned pilots have been stuck at the International Space Station since the beginning of June. A cascade of vexing thruster failures and helium leaks in the new capsule marred their trip to the space station, and they ended up in a holding pattern as engineers conducted tests and
In many ways, third-party cookies are an advertiser’s dream come true. They provide personalized consumer information for targeted ads. Unfortunately for advertisers, these cookies have faced *backlash due to privacy concerns. Some believe third-party cookies may soon be banned, and the world will enter a “post-third-party-cookie” era. Third-party cookies are such a controversial issue that some governments have placed restrictions on their use.

Ask your grandparents what cookies are, and you’ll probably be told they are tasty treats made from flour, sugar, butter, and a few other ingredients. Ever since 1994, however, the term has taken on a completely different meaning related to the Internet. In that year, a 23-year-old American programmer named Lou Montulli invented the cookie. Fast-forward to the present day, and cookies have become not only commonplace but also a subject of growing concern, particularly third-party ones. Cookies in the digital age have a few different names: Internet cookies, Web cookies, browser cookies, or just cookies. In the most
新冠疫情期間,媒體曾經報導「廣州零號感染源,疑透過餐廳空調傳播」,之前媒體也常出現「零號病人」之類的報導,諸如:「義大利 0 號病人出院,遭起底竟是......」,「紐約確診人數近6萬,……零號病人出院」。 所謂「零號病人」,就是台灣平常我們說的「首例」。如:「台首例武漢肺炎病患出院」,【獨家專訪】台灣首例武漢肺炎確診個案治癒過程! 「零號病人」英文叫 patient zero 或 index case,其實就是某個國家/地區第一個列入紀錄的案例。關於 index case,Wikipedia 的定義如下: The index case (sometimes referred to as patient zero) is the first documented patient in a disease epidemic within a population, or the first documented patient included in an epidemiological study. 為何第一個案例會說成patient zero?BBC 有一則關於新冠肺炎的報導裡提到它的由來: 愛滋病流行期間意外創造了「零號病人」一詞。80年代初期,美國美國疾病管制與預防中心(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)的研究人員調查愛滋病在洛杉磯和舊金山的傳播時,以英文字母O來指「加州以外」(outside of California) 的某個案例。其他研究人員誤將這代表外州 (outside) 的字母“O”,解讀為數字“0”,因此「零號病人」的說法就這樣誕生了。 …patient zero is a term used to describe the first human infected by a viral or bacterial disease in an outbreak…. Whilst investigating the spread of the disease…researchers…used the letter “O” to refer a case of someone “outside the state of California.” Other researchers wrongfully interpreted the letter as
