(We Chinese in America Media Editor Tang Zhao, April 23, 2022) Coffee grounds not only produce high yields in planting vegetables, but the field studies also have found that they can also repel insects and inhibit bacteria (Coffee grounds. Image from Mashed).

The Department of Horticulture at National Taiwan University collaborated with coffee industry industry-academia research and found that organic composting of coffee grounds can double the yield of leafy vegetables, and coffee grounds extract can prevent Kumquats from being harmed by Spodoptera mites; untreated coffee grounds can also be used for fertilization, but the amount is Preferably below 2%.

Taiwan's coffee consumption continues to grow, how to use the coffee grounds after drinking, entering the precision greenhouse of the experimental farm of National Taiwan University, rows of water spinach, wrinkled or rolled leaf lettuce, Fukuyama lettuce (commonly known as mainland girl) and other common leafy vegetables, divided into the control group using general basal fertilizer, and each experimental group adding different proportions of coffee grounds organic compost, the answer is clear at a glance.

Lin Shuyi, associate professor of the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Studies at National Taiwan University, pointed out that using 10% organic compost with coffee grounds in the early stage of growth of water spinach seedlings can increase the fresh weight of water spinach by 105%.

In the compost tank outside the precision greenhouse, different proportions of coffee grounds and soybean meal base fertilizer are being tested. Lin Shuyi said that the organic composting of coffee grounds takes 3 months to ferment and mature. After field trials, 30 to 40 common leafy vegetables are suitable for organic compost coffee grounds; if untreated coffee grounds are used directly, the dosage should not exceed 2%, so as to avoid high temperature fermentation, secondary products, and pH changes that are harmful to crop growth.

Many people think of organic vegetables and fruits as being bitten by insects and sold differently, but Lin Shuyi said that the extract obtained by soaking coffee grounds in water in a certain proportion and stirring for 3 days, sprinkled on the leaves of kumquats, which are prone to pests, can effectively reduce 53% of the gnawing of leaf miners, and the leaching solution diluted 50 times can also inhibit anthracnose, and exert the benefits of repelling insects, inhibiting bacteria and stabilizing growth.

【《We Chinese in America》Media Editor Tang Zhao, April 22, 2022】TSMC is going all out to expand the new factory in U.S., and it needs to work hard to find enough manpower. Why TSMC's US factory can't recruit people locally? It turns out that one requirement discourages Americans the most. TSMC is going all out to expand the new factory, and it needs to work hard to find enough manpower( TSMC image from en.wikipedia.org)

TSMC is recruiting manpower in Taiwan for its new Arizona Fab 21 factory. Tom's Hardware, an American technology information website, relayed a related report. It seems that the most important condition for the application is fluent workplace English, which is very interesting.

Tom's Hardware reports that their readers may wonder why TSMC isn't hiring locally in the U.S. for a low-level technician position that requires few specific job skills or experience?

The author of the report said that after learning about TSMC's recruitment advertisements in the United States, he would find one of the requirements that many Americans lacked interest in. Because TSMC said that admitted candidates must go to Taiwan to train for 6 to 12 months. Some vacancies that require engineering degrees also require long-term training in Taiwan. Americans find it difficult and troublesome to see such requirements.

Major technology companies have always had the problem of not easily retaining talent. This report from Tom's Hardware believes that TSMC's production expansion plan is very ambitious. Finding suitable people and retaining people for so many job vacancies will be affected by the labor market. One of the manufacturers hardest hit by austerity.

TSMC's rival, US-based Intel, has set up a multi-billion-dollar fund to retain talent and attract the best workforce. Intel plans to give employees $2.4 billion in cash and stock to reward outstanding performance and willingness to stay. If the money was split equally among all employees, each would get $21,000.

IRS announces 2022 funding for Low Income Taxpayer Clinic grant recipients

IR-2022-92, April 20, 2022

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service announced today that more than $12.1 million in matching grants were awarded to 131 organizations across the country for development, expansion or continuation of qualified Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs) for the 2022 grant year. The grant year runs from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2022.

Through the LITC Program, the IRS awards matching grants of up to $100,000 per year to qualifying organizations. The LITC Program is a federal grant program administered by the Taxpayer Advocate Service, an independent organization within the IRS led by the National Taxpayer Advocate Erin M. Collins. Although LITCs receive partial funding from the IRS, LITCs, their employees and volunteers are independent from the IRS.

Qualified organizations awarded LITC grants ensure the fairness and integrity of the tax system for taxpayers who are low-income or speak English as a second language (ESL) by providing pro bono representation for qualified taxpayers in tax disputes with the IRS, educating them about their rights and responsibilities as taxpayers, and identifying and advocating on issues that impact these taxpayers.

A complete list of 2022 grant recipients, the cities and states where they are located, and the amounts awarded by the IRS, is located here.

More information about LITCs and the work they do to represent, educate and advocate on behalf of low-income and ESL taxpayers is available in IRS Publication 5066, LITC Program Report. IRS Publication 4134, Low Income Taxpayer Clinic List, provides information about LITCs by geographic area, including contact information and details about the languages served at that specific LITC location.
