Dear TASS Members,

The annual Washington DC National Cherry Blossom Festival is just around the corner.  The National Park Service predicts that the cherry blossoms will reach peak bloom sometime between March 19 and 22 (updated 2017-03-08).  Therefore, TASS BODs decided to have an outing on Tuesday, March 21 led by Keihong Hung, our TASS former president and photo club coordinator, for our TASS members and friends.  Let’s embrace the Spring with an explosion of life and color that surrounds the Tidal Basin in a sea of pale pink and white.

Dear TASS Members,

現今世代,日劇與韓劇廣泛充斥於台灣及世界各地的華人社會,但是我們對日文與韓文了解多少呢?TASS於下周二(3月7日)上午,將邀請趙弘雅博士為大家帶來一場日本與韓國文字改革的洗禮,帶領大家進一步了解日文與韓文的演進。

iPhone與iPad的發明,顛覆了人們的生活型態,也提升了我們的知識技能。下午,現任理事李仁旭將延續上回的課程,並由顧問林佳惠協助,將繼續帶領我們了解掌中世界的奧秘。請大家別忘了帶著您手上的新玩具,一起來學習新科技!

另外,本周午餐原定之貴妃樓,因其大廚於禮拜二休假,無法替會員們服務,故將改由人人餐廳(Mandarin Express)供應。

iPhone / iPad Workshop (2)Cool Features of iPhone and iPad

隨著高科技的發展,手機和平板電腦的功能日新月異,我們很多人也不由自主的都投資在這些昂貴的物件上。可是一般人對它的使用,常局限在打電話,寫 email,以及照相而已,沒有充分的來享受它所能提供的功能和方便,這是有點可惜的。這是第二次的 workshop,我們將帶領大家來更多認識iPhone 和 iPad 的一些特性,讓這些物件能為我們帶來更多生活上的樂趣。希望大家來參加,並溫故知新。在此願意提醒大家到時記得帶你們的 iPhone 及 iPad 來。

 

我們將先很快的,複習幾項在第一次 Workshop上所討論的,然後再介紹一些其它的特性:

 

•  Control Center

•  Assistive Touch

•  AirDrop

•  Screen Shot

•  Airplane Mode

•  Cellular Data
