路樹連根拔 車上護士驚險逃

更新日期:2009/08/07 16:45
台南有路樹被強連根拔起,壓中轎車,車上兩名女護士趕緊逃出來,還有停車場鐵皮圍籬將近二十公尺都被吹飛,相當驚險。粗壯的榕樹把小轎車壓得車身都扁掉一半,坐在裡頭的兩名女護士嚇得臉色蒼白,風雨中倉皇逃出車外,全身都淋濕了。

兩位護士是姊妹,她們颱風天趕著去醫院上班,卻沒想到風實在太大,竟然把路樹吹倒了還壓到車,還好有驚無險沒有受傷,強風讓招牌也快被吹落,店家冒著風雨想把招牌扯下來,看起來實在危險。路過員警熱心的接手下來,把招牌往這邊拉,就是怕強風把招牌吹到馬路上。同樣在台南市區,這一大片鐵皮圍籬,二十公尺長整片被風吹到了馬路上,民眾擔心,大鐵皮跟著強風到處飛,尖銳的鐵片可能會割傷人,行人駕駛紛紛躲避,颱風天出門,真的要格外小心。

Clams

Clams
(Farmed)

Rating: Best Choice
Clams are farmed in an environmentally responsible way.

Market Names:
Steamers, Littlenecks, Cockles

Consumer Notes:
Farmed clams are available year-round, but fresh clams may be limited in specific regions for food safety reasons. Clams are served cooked in or out of the shell, are available fresh or frozen, and can also be used in sushi.

Summary:
Clams have a broad, worldwide distribution and are cultured in many countries. Their popularity exceeds the supply harvested from the sea, so farmed clams today account for 89 percent of world clam consumption. The majority of farmed clams consumed in the United States are farmed here, with most imports coming from Canada. Aquaculture production is well-managed and has a low impact on the environment. As with oysters, mussels and other bivalves, these filter-feeders can actually have a positive benefit by clearing tiny particles and debris from the surrounding water. Only in cases where clams are cultivated at polluted sites is the accumulation of toxins a concern. Generally clams are cultured on the seafloor and when hand-harvested do not result in any environmental disturbance. Sometimes harvesting by dredging is a concern since it can disrupt the seabed; however the effects are typically short-lived and can be restored. For that reason, clams harvested without the use of mechanical dredges are the best option.
