Pittsburgh Art Places celebrates all things art
Source: Pittsburgh Post-GazetteSept.儲存 30--Artists looking for exhibit space, venues in need of exposure and individuals who want to know where art is now have a website courtesy of the Office of Public Art.Described as a comprehensive "cultural concierge," Pittsburgh Art Places -- pittsburghartplaces.org -- is now on line with the most liberal interpretation of what constitutes art in a 13-county area. Theaters, bars that book live music, libraries, book stores, arts shops, museums, public sculpture, architecture, bridges, parks, landmarks and quirky streetscapes all qualify.The Office of Public Art, with one foot in the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council and the other in Pittsburgh city planning, announced the site last week in "a call for participation," said Renee Piechocki, director of the office.Pittsburgh Art Places is free to all, with funding from the Colcom and Hillman Family foundations. It will be as inclusive and comprehensive as people make it."One thing people say over and over is that there's no single place to find everything that is going on in this town" in the arts, said Jeffrey Carpenter, artistic director at Bricolage Production Co., Downtown.More than 200 entries are already listed. It's a do-it-yourself set-up. Representatives of art places can create a profile and description as well as add photos, videos and schedules. By the end of the year, the office will market the site to tourism organizations and hoteliers, Ms. Piechocki said.The sweep of Pittsburgh Art Places comprises Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Mercer, Somerset, Venango, Washington and Westmoreland counties."This site takes finding art to a new level," said Mitch Swain, CEO of the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council."People are looking for hidden gems that you might not find in a [typical] visitors' guide," said Cindy Tinsy Labrie, vice president of marketing for VisitPittsburgh.In 2007, the Office of Public Art created the Pittsburgh Artist Registry for artists to get their profiles and portfolios before the public. The registry, which has a link on the new site, was only for artists but galleries began adding their own profiles, Ms. Piechocki said."That made us realize that [venues] had no place" to promote themselves, she said.Among 201 entries, the site includes statues and murals, gallery spaces, concert venues, cultural institutions and landmarks such as the formself storager Kaufmann's clock Downtown.The list will include an archive of public art that has come and gone, including Toby Atticus Fraley's make-believe storefront, Fraley's Robot Repair on Sixth Street, Downtown, which was recently dismantled.Each entry -- with the address in the upper left corner -- includes background stories about the works, the artists' biographies, photos of the work and videos.Tony Tasset's 2006 installation "Magnolias for Pittsburgh" at Seventh Street and Penn Avenue, Downtown, is featured on the site with photos from the foundry. The entry that describes Susan Wagner's 1994 sculpture of the late Pirates' Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente links to a video of his 3,000th career hit three months before his death in 1972.The site allows anyone to create virtual tours of their favorite art places.Laura Zorch, educational programs assistant at the Office of Public Art, demonstrated how: "Say your wedding is on Saturday and you want people who are coming to see places in your neighborhood," she said, demonstrating how to create a profile, in this case "Laura's Fake Wedding," and to select sites in and around the wedding venue.Historian and writer Charles Rosenblum has created a tour of selected architecture. Eric Shiner, director of the Andy Warhol Museum, and county Executive Rich Fitzgerald also have tours on the site.Bricolage designed a pre-show tour for its audiences "as part of the package of coming to see our shows," said Tami Dixon, production artistic director for Bricolage.Pittsburgh Art Places will help artists collaborate and stimulate the public to think, " 'Oh! Is that art?' " she said."It gives artists and small arts organizations who struggle with marketing dollars a way to get the message out beyond our regular audience every day."Because of the site's potential for social networking and collaboration, it could spur economic development."It can be a development tool integrated into issues such as space for artists to work and perform," said David Pankratz, research and policy director for the Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council. "It can attract investment under the heading of creative place-making."Diana Nelson Jones: djones@post-gazette.com or 412-263-1626.

先瞭解多關心 培養家國情懷
新中國誕生六十四周年,mini storage是闔澳歡慶的大日子,系列活動除為祝賀祖國誕辰及見證國家的成就,更蘊含增加普羅大�對國家的認識、提高國民意識的期許。愛澳門、愛民族、愛國家,愛要奠基於認識、瞭解,才有體諒、包容,同舟共濟,推動國家富強進步。培養家與國的情懷,非一朝一夕。 新中國經歷超過三十年的經濟改革開放,由一窮二白"褲穿窿",至今已成全球第二大經濟體,大國崛起,舉世矚目。但自從內地開放到港澳"自由行",港澳社會逐漸為同胞改了一個"強國人"的稱號,明褒暗貶。從前那些在電影、電視對內地人生活方式描述的場景,如今卻演變為實實在在的矛盾。 部分港人容不得別人挑戰日常生活習慣和價值,內地小孩遊客在公共場所小便、煙民在非吸煙區吸煙、排隊打尖、在地鐵車廂內霸佔座位;新移民在房屋、社會福利及工作佔用了香港本土資源。澳人也驚覺寧靜的生活空間被"自由行"逼爆,走在新馬路要左閃右避,昔日可以優哉悠哉歎茶飲咖啡的地方被"攻陷"。積壓的不滿似在延伸,部分人乾脆成為了對內地人與事處處不滿的"百彈齋主","強國人"、"蝗蟲論"的不斷挑撥,撩起部分港人以至少數澳門人與內地同胞之間的矛盾,彼此漸漸築起一堵高高的圍牆,影響了溝通、互信、共融,值得社會深思。 中華迷你倉化源遠流長,不管從文化的角度,抑或基於政治上的"一國兩制",港澳都是中國不可分割的一部分。三十餘年的改革讓國家的硬實力強大,但軟實力需更長時間鑄煉,文明秩序等有待提升和改善。說話大聲、動作粗魯、財大氣粗、不守秩序、自我中心,種種被認為是"強國人"的特徵中確有不文明成份,但亦因深層次的文化差異使然。與其認為不可饒恕,何不嘗試從認識祖國入手,嘗試瞭解行為背後的成因。國家也很重視這些不文明的行為和現象,從規範、教育做起,努力改善,相信假以時日,社會文明面貌將煥然一新。如果一味驅逐、排斥,全盤敵視、仇視,以極度狹隘的視野和靜止的眼光看待內地存在的問題,甚至一直懷緬優越,自詡為高貴,貶人為醜陋,最終只會成為井底之蛙,永遠囿於自以為是的小天地中。 澳門要發展成世界旅遊休閒城市,須面向世界;澳門作為中國與葡語系國家的經貿平台,亦要面向祖國內地。如果人們認同澳門的兩大定位,我們的年輕一代,就必須成為堂堂正正的公民、國民、世界人,不要狂妄自大,也不要自卑氣餒;不要被"洗腦"、"盲從",拒絕否定一切的絕對批判。國慶喚醒澳人關心國情,更提醒澳人要在回顧和討論中學會舉一反三,反思反省糾結難解的深層矛盾,更積極地應對發展挑戰,營建和諧社會。 夏 耘 文件倉
《國際趨勢》要獲利豐厚 討好使用群 比顧客群重要
如今,self storage美國有41%的離線購物始於網路搜尋,7%的零售商務是在線上交易,2012年這兩者的比例加起來達到50%,相當於1.2兆美元的消費是由數位技術驅動。跨入多數交易始於數位圈的經濟環境,一切都是數位事業,廣義的使用者比狹義的顧客重要。使用者可能是透過公司內部網路、行動應用程式、線上求職表、網站、顧客關係管理軟體(CRM)、臉書粉絲頁、推特帳號,或公司內部與外部數位技術的其他元素和公司互動。總之,只要是透過數位媒體、科技和公司互動的任何人,都是使用者。使用者有很多種,雖然他們的興趣和目標各不相同,但都希望以數位工具輕鬆、迅速地搶得先機。這類工具可能是一套輕鬆幫你找出可用資料的資料庫管理程式,或是幫你追蹤餵食新生兒時間的行動應用程式。當使用者也是顧客時,他們會使用數位媒體和科技做出消費,找出比當地購物中心更划算的商品。他們會先上網瀏覽使用者評價和專業評價,詢問社交網路上各路朋友的意見以研究商品;接著,不管賣家身在何方,他們會四處比價,然後迅速的點選購買鍵,即使按鍵在手機上也毫不遲疑。這些數位顧客和傳統顧客截然不同。傳統的商業入門課教我們「顧客至上」或「顧客永遠是對的」,如今該以新的方式來看待顧客:顧客只是使用者的一部分,透過數位管道和公司互動的眾多人當中,顧客只是其中一種,他們都希望數位科技幫忙改善生活,使其更為輕鬆。企業成功的關鍵,在於鎖定這個較為廣大的使用者群,日後顧客自然就會上門。拜社交媒體所賜,部落客和「朋友」聯合起來,就會變成一大群塑造品牌及帶動業績的民意。公司的員工、事業夥伴和潛在顧客也是有影響力的使用者,他們幫忙改善營運績效,也塑造品牌及帶動業績。使用者可能比顧客更貼近公司,對公司更有影響力,如果需要數字來說服你,一家公司的使用者群通常遠大於顧客群,如果公司只討好掏錢的顧客,反而會錯過真正豐厚的獲利。營運新模式:使用者至上使用者是如此重要,因此現在出現一種卓越營運的新模式「使用者至上」(USER-FIRST)的公司。如今,最成功的公司是採取使用者導向的經營方式,致力追求使用者滿意度,因為使用者才是擴大顧客群及整體組織的動力引擎。這種使用者至上的經營理念影響組織的各個部分:公司如何銷售與行銷、組織架構,其營運的各個環節都受到影響。從「數位領導組」的調查及輔導客戶的經驗中,歸納出一套經營這類公司的管理架構。任何公司的管理都可以分成2類:內部驅動力和外部接觸點。內部驅動力是指管理公司的整體營運;外部接觸點則是指公司如何與外界相連。對使用者至上的公司來說,使用者是公司所有外部接觸點的中心,也是所有業務關注的焦點;內部驅動力則是致力把外部接觸點往外推,更貼近使用者,推動公司成長。如今使用者至上和軟體層的概念,開始滲透到主流商業圈,進入你最意想不到的企業和組織裡。寶僑(P & G)是一家成立178年的企業,銷售牙膏、肥皂、除臭劑、電池、清潔用品、紙巾及其他傳統等居家用品,旗下有許多老字號品牌,例如佳潔士(CREST)、象牙(IVORY)、汰漬(T迷利倉DE)、魅力(CHARMIN)等。以往寶僑的主要顧客其實不是你,而是沃爾瑪等通路商。然而,現在寶僑及旗下品牌已經朝著使用者至上的目標邁進,並從優先考慮顧客做起。寶僑拚全球最數位化公司2000年後,擔任寶僑執行長多年的雷富禮(A. G. LAFLEY)以「消費者最大」的格言領導公司,所以寶僑在市調方面的投資無人能及,每年在近100個國家和500多萬人互動,斥資逾4億美元,目的就是想進一步了解消費者。但在雷富禮卸任後,寶僑再次陷入苦追競爭者的狀態。前董事長兼執行長麥睿博(BOB MCDONALD)期待以積極投入數位媒體的方式改善公司前景,在2010年給股東的一封信中,誓言讓寶僑變成「全球最數位化的公司」。他想把公司大幅地數位化,以一對一的方式接觸消費者。換句話說,他下令公司應該優先考慮使用者。盧卡斯.沃森(LUCAS WATSON)於2008年到2011年5月間在寶僑擔任數位長,積極倡導使用者至上。2009年美國互動廣告協會(INTERACTIVE ADVERTISING BUREAU)大會上,沃森告訴觀眾:「你需要理想和點子,理想是一種使命感、方向感、更高的存在感,而不是只想賣出下一包尿布。」這是直接呼籲大家找出真正的使用者需求並滿足,而不要只為了自利而強迫推銷,公司旗下的魅力牌衛生紙和免費軟體SITORSQUAT合作,就是使用者至上具體實踐的實例。寶僑贊助開發一款IPHONE應用程式,使用者只要登入系統,當父母想找一間乾淨又有更換尿布設備的廁所時,就可以利用此程式找到最近的公廁。寶僑也透過數位媒體宣揚使用者至上,廣為人知的例子是OLD SPICE沐浴乳廣告。原本,是推出一支傳統的超級盃廣告,主打一位OLDSPICE男宣稱「你家男人聞起來也能跟他一樣」,後來轉變成社群行銷活動。為了回應使用者在提出的問題,又拍了數百支簡短影片回應,把這個行銷活動推到高潮,創造超過20億美元的媒體曝光價值。電子商務是寶僑優先考慮使用者利益的另一種方式。當你進入吉列(GILLETTE)的網站,想要一把刮鬍刀時,無須下線去超市購買,網站上就有一個「購買」的按鈕,點進去就是販售該產品的網路零售商。寶僑旗下許多品牌的網站都有這個功能,而且在網路零售商的清單上,還有一個選項可能出乎你意料之外:寶僑自己。2010年寶僑推出網路商店,朝優先考慮使用者需求又邁進一步,因為很多使用者希望享有直接購買的便利性;但是,寶僑此舉也搶了零售商的生意,因為目前零售商還是寶僑的主要客群。不同的產業在不同的時間,會經歷不同的數位轉型階段,例如,書籍這類標準化產品,是最早因電子商務轉型的產業;消費日用品雖然也是標準化商品,但多數人很容易在自家附近買到,也想馬上使用,這也是消費日用品沒有率先採用電子商務的原因。也因此,還有許多產業因產品和服務相形複雜,或者是既得利益根深柢固,使用者至上的活動焦點並非放在直接銷售,而是塑造品牌。不過,這項改變將會席捲每個人。(本文摘自天下雜誌出版《原來,使用者才是老大》)自存倉
A Turnkey Solution Measures Cognitive Workload with SMI Eye Tracking
BERLIN and TELTOW, Germany, September 30, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI) integrates the established Index of Cognitive Activity (ICA) by Eye Tracking Inc.迷你倉 for deeper insights into mental effort and information loadAt the Annual Meeting of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society [.hfes.org/web/HFESMeetings/2013annualmeeting.html ] (HFES) taking place this week in San Diego, USA, SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI) [.smivision.com/egts ] introduces a new tool that combines SMI Eye Tracking data and the patented Index of Cognitive Activity (ICA) developed by EyeTracking Inc [.eyetracking.com ]. in one common analysis interface. The turnkey solution is compatible with SMI Eye Tracking Glasses [.eyetracking-glasses.com ] and SMI's leading remote eye tracking devices [.smivision.com/en/gaze-and-eye-tracking-systems/products/overview.html ]. It gives insights into the level of user effort and information load, e.g. in training, driving or critical control tasks. This understanding helps to adapt task difficulty, to refine interfaces and training materials and ultimately to improve learning and professional performance. The ICA results from decades of research and uses data on pupil dilation for a reliable estimate of mental effort. In combination with SMI eye tracking analysis options, the ICA reveals when cognitive workload increases and which visual information triggers this effect.To view the video click here: youtu.be/632qlwyAHQITo see a photo click here: .flickr.com/photos/smieyetracking/10017130335SMI Eye Tracking Glasses record eye tracking data in real-life situations which require natural interaction, e.g. in driving studies, while SMI's remote eye tracking devices allow for contact-free recording of gaze behaviour on screen-based information. SMI BeGaze [.smivision.com/en/gaze-and-eye-tracking-systems/products/begaze-analys文件倉s-software.html ] analysis software uses this pre-recorded SMI eye tracking data to calculate and synchronize the ICA dataset. In SMI BeGaze, the ICA data can be combined with a broad range of eye tracking analysis options and visualizations and statistics are available for export and further analysis. In addition to single user ICA data, average ICA values provide a comparison of workload levels over user groups. This allows to estimate the effect of task iterations or material redesigns on cognitive workload and to compare the effort level of experts and novices or different age groups.Dr. Ingmar Gutberlet, SensoMotoric Instruments: "We are proud that a great collaboration with Eye Tracking Inc. resulted in this turnkey integration of the ICA with SMI eye tracking solutions. The tool gives our customers ready-to go access to another analytical measure which opens up more fields of application for our eye tracking technology."Sandra Marshall, Eye Tracking Inc.: "We are happy that the ICA, our patented physiological assessment of cognitive workload, was successfully integrated by our partner SensoMotoric Instruments. We think this joint work of SMI and Eye Tracking Inc. will further enhance analysis options for research studies which aim to analyze cognitive workload levels."Learn more about SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI) at .smivision.com or visit the SMI booth at HFES.Contact SMI: Stefanie Gehrke, Marcom Manager, stefanie.gehrke@smi.deSMI on Facebook: .facebook.com/smieyetrackingSMI on Twitter: .twitter.com/smieyetrackingSMI on Flickr: .flickr.com/smieyetrackingSMI on YouTube: .youtube.com/smieyetrackingPhone : +49(0)3328-3955-00 Fax : +49(0)3328-3955-99 WEB : .smivision.com E-Mail : info@smivision.deSensoMotoric Instruments GmbH Warthestrasse 21 14513 Teltow GermanySensoMotoric Instruments GmbH存倉

中國國慶特輯●網絡中國微電影與網絡文學,mini storage是兩個在中國網絡世界如火如荼發展的領域,其中的潛在商機,激勵了不少80後、90後年輕人參與創作。曾實 廣州報道一部講述年輕人創業成功奮鬥史的熱賣電影《中國合伙人》,今年在中國引發了巨大反響。電影播出之後,在中國廣州,三名同樣懷有熱情和夢想的年輕人模仿電影,設立了微電影製作工作室,鄭而重之地拍下一張屬於自己的海報——"廣州合伙人"。這家由年輕人組成的工作室,團隊成員的平均年齡只有26歲,朱偉航擔任監制,他的另兩名合伙人則分任導演和制片。從高中開始,三個小伙子便開始摸索拍片,那時候,網絡視頻還沒有在中國流行。2010年,三人各自從大學畢業,沒有過多猶豫,他們選擇了創業,成立自己的電影工作室。這三名土生土長的"廣州仔"想法非常一致——拍廣州人愛看的電影。而為了凸顯本土特色,他們還為工作室起了一個頗為廣東化的名字:"粵拍粵掂"。他們是最早涉足網絡視頻的製作團隊之一,早期作品《阿星來了》創下當時網絡最紅短片的點擊紀錄,2010年,他們用一年時間拍攝紀錄片《正在消失的羊城》,用影像記錄廣州的變遷,影片迅速獲得不少人的共鳴,在廣州本土網站上發佈的第二天,便已達到20多萬的點擊率。經過數年的堅持,這家工作室如今已有較為穩定的運作模式,他們的名字漸為當地人所知,與此同時,這幾名年輕人也在思索,如何在微電影逐漸成為網絡營銷方式的今日,繼續保持自己的創意與文化,並在與香港製作團隊合作的同時,將港方的創意思維引進華南地區。像"粵拍粵掂"工作室這樣成立自己的團隊、追逐電影夢想的年輕人,在中國不在少數。因為製作成本低廉,微電影這種新興的媒介傳播形式,成為不少年輕人近年熱衷的表達方式,在這股熱潮下的微電影市場發展前景,也廣為看好。中國微電影市場價值未來五年將達百億人民幣在中國各大視頻網站,目前大多有微電影的身影,並有部分網站探索付費點播模式。據《北京商報》文化創意產業周刊報道,2011年和2012年是中國微電影發展的井噴之年,在2011年,中國微電影的數量是2000多部,到2012年則增長了一倍。新華社報道,在2011年,中國在線視頻行業市場規模為62.7億元(人民幣,下同,約12.5億新元),未來五年,中國微電影市場價值有望達到100億元以上。這一市場的蓬勃發展與潛在的商機,激勵了不少以80後、90後為主體的年輕人。在網絡上,幾乎每個大中城市都有網民自發組成"微電影愛好群",召集有著相同夢想的年輕人,他們渴望展示自己的電影才華,表達個人對文藝、青春、夢想與現實的思考,而無所不在的網絡載體,似乎令這一切變得更為簡單。這些來自草根的年輕人,有些或許沒有接受過專業培訓,創業資金也可能相當有限,但他們組建的團隊同樣"五臟俱全",從導演、編劇、劇務,到演員、服裝、攝影、化妝等劇組職位,都在他們的思考範圍之內。不過,單純的熱忱與成功的獲得,這兩者之間從來就沒有必然的因果聯繫,與其他行業同樣,微電影這一新興媒介也面臨著大浪淘沙,能像"粵拍粵掂"這樣存活下來,逐漸走上商業運作之路的電影工作室少之又少,對於不少年輕的微電影愛迷你倉者來說,更多只是在逐夢的過程中享受創作與分享的快樂。"能堅持下來的並不多",據朱偉航瞭解,可以一路堅持下來,並有實力長期運作下去的青年微電影製作團隊,目前在廣州不超過十家。在網絡創作文學人數已超過5000萬文學是另一個在網絡上如火如荼發展的領域。網絡文學是互聯網最為直接的產物,擁有文學夢想的年輕人不在少數。目前,活躍在網絡文學類論壇上的文學愛好者與作家,無疑以年輕群體為主體,尤為集中在80後、90後人群。中國作家協會網絡文學研究專家馬季接受本報採訪時指出,以不同方式在網絡上發表過自己作品的人數,目前在中國已超過5000萬,其中,商業化的網絡簽約作家已有250萬人。在網上連載自己的作品,吸引粉絲之後出版成書,或是作品被廣泛關注後翻拍成影視作品,被遊戲、動漫公司購買版權,已是目前中國年輕作者脫穎而出的主流模式。近年來在中國大紅大紫的作品《步步驚心》的作者桐華(本名任海燕,80後)、《甄嬛傳》的作者流瀲紫(本名吳雪嵐,也是80後)都是通過這種方式為人所知。馬季指出,通過網絡寫作(在線收費、下線出版和影視、遊戲改編等)獲得經濟收入的人數已達10萬人,他們的年均收入從1000元到100萬不等,其中,年收入百萬的超過100人,最高者可達到1000萬。據《華西都市報》發佈的2012年中國網絡作家富豪榜,前20位上榜的作者,在五年內共獲得了1.77億元的個人財富,網絡作家唐家三少、我吃西紅柿、天蠶土豆,分別以3300萬、2100萬、1800萬的版稅收入排在該榜的前三位,他們的年齡依次為31、25、23歲。活躍在中國文學論壇的網絡作家中,全職作者的比例並不高,職業或半職業寫作人群只有約3萬人,而在這些人中,能躋身富豪榜的畢竟只是少數,收穫名氣與財富的網絡作家,除了擁有過人才華之外,不能不提的是他們所付出的努力。一名自稱"愛好碼字"的網絡文學作者在論壇上表示,網絡寫作是一件"痛苦並快樂著的事情",而因為喜歡文學,他陸續寫了一些東西在網上發表,他稱自己並無名氣,但名聲對他而言並不重要,更重要的是對文學創作有著濃厚的興趣。網絡創作漸成主體與傳統文化不斷交融與此同時,隨著網絡創作逐漸成為主體,這一領域也與傳統主流文化不斷交融。一些影視公司也在介入微電影領域,包括吳彥祖、範冰冰、姜文等文藝大腕近年也參與微電影的拍攝,而在文學領域,部分網絡作家正在與現有的文藝體制逐漸交融。馬季指出,中國作家協會近年在積極開展這項工作,邀請網絡作家中的優秀作者進入協會,為他們提供成長的機會與空間,包括文學閱讀、作品研討、培訓、名家指點等多方面的指導。他說:"我們關注網絡創作,其實就是在關心30歲以下年輕作家的成長。"馬季進一步指出,中國目前的85後、90後作者大多通過網絡成長,已很少直接通過紙媒,未來,中國或許不會再有"網絡作家"這一界線與概念。不過,在這些年輕群體的眼裡,網絡還是現實,也許並非是他們的重點。中國擁有世界上數目最為龐大的年輕群體,對他們而言,無所不在的互聯網或許有著更多的意味,在這裡,他們正在以不同方式傳遞對人生的思考,尋求自己的位置,探索未來的可能。文件倉
For Phila. arts, a shifting donor base
Source: The Philadelphia InquirerSept.self storage 29--Second of three parts, on successive Sundays.For more than a dozen years, philanthropy in Philadelphia was led by a powerful quartet. In various combinations, the Pew Charitable Trusts, William Penn Foundation, the Annenbergs, and the Lenfests lined up behind arts and culture.They built: Without them, Philadelphia might have no National Constitution Center or new, altered Barnes Foundation on the Parkway.They rescued: Had they not stepped in to cover construction debt, the Kimmel Center would have drowned in red ink.And they preserved: When The Gross Clinic, Thomas Eakins' important canvas, was on the brink of being sold off to the National Gallery of Art in Washington and an Arkansas museum backed by Wal-Mart heirs, calls were made, checks written, a deal was struck, and the painting's continued residency was assured.In addition to the cash itself, these partnerships have created great civic momentum where there might have been none. Joint activism on a particular issue would elicit gifts from others, and things got done.But the quartet is no more. After the deaths of the Annenbergs -- first Walter in 2002, then Leonore in 2009 -- the Annenberg Foundation moved to Los Angeles. It is being led now by children and grandchildren with little or no connection to Philadelphia.H.F. "Gerry" Lenfest is planning a different tack. By design, he has given away most of his fortune and has crafted a directive to spend down the remaining assets of the Lenfest Foundation on disadvantaged youth. In a little more than a dozen years, the Lenfests went on a giving spree of rare proportions, leaving behind $1 billion and major changes across the region.At the Curtis Institute of Music, whose board chairmanship he will give up in May, the school's first dorm building would not have happened without Lenfest money and might. The Lenfests have given more than $70 million to the school, endowing faculty chairs, buying buildings, underwriting tours, and adding to endowment. Even more, at least $93 million, propelled the Philadelphia Museum of Art's years-long expansion plan.They have provided college scholarships for students from rural Pennsylvania, funded the Lenfest Ocean Program with the Pew Charitable Trusts, underwritten advertising time for local arts groups, led the move of the Barnes Foundation to Center City, and given tens of millions to Mercersburg Academy, where the little Gerry Lenfest developed character.Their giving stimulated other acts of generosity, earning them a place in the city's philanthropic lineage alongside the Girards, Curtises, and Boks.Once Philadelphia's largest foundation, the Pew has moved the vast majority of its operation from Philadelphia to Washington, since borrowing $180 million to buy and renovate a building seven blocks from the White House and changing its legal structure from a pure foundation to something less easy to define. Pew once existed to give money to others while doing some of its own research, but has shifted its emphasis to being an operating charity that conducts lobbying, advocacy, and research -- and spends more money on its own programs, operations, and consultants than it distributes to others. It has also reduced, over a long stretch of time, the amount of money it spends in the Philadelphia area.With a cultural community that has grown by leaps and bounds, and groups now running deficits and several high-profile financial crises and bankruptcies, the question of how to fund the ongoing operation of the sector has become urgent."What is the solution? New donors. The ones we've relied on aren't there anymore," said Gerry Lenfest, who also is an owner of Interstate General Media, the parent company of The Inquirer.The era of local philanthropy being dominated by a mighty handful of foundations may have ended, but the change may not be without its silver lining. Some observers say the dominance -- until now -- of foundations in Philadelphia has resulted in an arts and culture sector that has been somewhat apathetic about cultivating a broader base of individual donors."The shifting foundation landscape, combined with the recession since 2008, forced many groups to rely more heavily on individuals, who stepped up to the plate in a way they never had before," says fund-raising and nonprofit consultant Nancy Burd. "Now there is a new world of donors out there for arts managers to steward and engage."David Haas, board chairman of the William Penn Foundation, recognizes his foundation's new stature but isn't yet sure of its response."You can certainly say a certain amount of dollars are no longer here," he said. "For me, first of all, we're going to be very thoughtful about where the grant budget is going to go. I am not saying it is going to grow, but we are going to look at that very carefully. We are not going to respond by simply upping our budget -- we're not ruling that out, but we are not doing it as an automatic fix."We are . . . assessing our role as an institution that has become more prominent, and we are going to do everything we can beside our grant-making -- we will also be engaging other institutions and parties to participate."Leaving PhiladelphiaThe Annenberg Foundation was established in 1989, but Annenberg philanthropy began decades earlier in Philadelphia. Over time, publisher Walter Annenberg and the foundation distributed billions to education, health care, environmental causes, the arts, and horticulture -- and in one grand stroke, the foundation gave $500 million in 1993 toward the Annenberg Challenge for school reform.Avid art collectors, the Annenbergs in 1991 made another famously grand gesture: donating their billion-dollar collection of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They were the biggest givers in the history of the Philadelphia Orchestra and Academy of Music, giving more than $100 million to both over several decades.After Walter Annenberg's death, Leonore Annenberg took over leadership of the foundation and disbursed more money than it was earning on its investments -- $1.2 billion over a six-year period, much of it in and around Philadelphia. When she died, leadership fell to a new generation of Annenbergs who live elsewhere.After a period of reflection, the family decided to keep the Annenberg operating as a perpetual foundation rather than spending down the endowment. But Philadelphia isn't likely to feel much more Annenberg love."If you look back over the last quarter of a century, the foundation has given $4.5 billion to over 8,500 grantees in 40 countries, and because of its formative years and connection to Philadelphia, there is a preponderance of former grantees in that region," said executive director Leonard Aube. "Unfortunately, we can't be all things to all people, and the one thing the trustees have done is reshape the geographical area we cover so that there is virtually no grant support beyond the Los Angeles area."I was in Frank Gehry's offices looking at the wonderful plans they are developing for the Philadelphia Museum of Art," Aube said, "and obviously we feel very connected to the communities we have served, so there's a little bit of a pang, because we want to be supportive. But we have a billion less than we once had, and that means $50 million fewer in grants per annum, and you have to draw the line somewhere."Penn Foundation evolvesThe William Penn Foundation has not only reasserted its loyalty to Philadelphia, it has also grown its assets. It is now the city's largest reliable source of money to arts and culture: more than $23 million in 2013.With the sale of Rohm & Haas Co. to Dow Chemical in 2009 for $15 billion, the Haas family shifted $1.25 billion to the William Penn and to a newly created charity, the Wyncote Foundation, which has also given heavily to the arts.Haas described the difference between Wyncote and William Penn this way: Wyncote exists to fulfill the passions of Haas family members, while William Penn, though overseen by a board that includes Haas family members, has a substantial staff of foundation professionals who help shape policy and vet requests.Wyncote is "a typical family foundation where it's more driven by particular interests of the trustees. The Penn Foundation has a fairly significant strategy process where also obviously the family is involved, but it's a different approach."Like other local philanthropies, William Penn is in transition, having parted ways in November with its last president, Jeremy Nowak, after just 18 months. Leaders say it could be several more months before a permanent president is named.The foundation's arts and culture giving is also evolving. Grants now fall into one of three categories, says arts funding director Olive Mosier. "Basically our funding approach is core support, which tends to be for multiple years. A new area for us, which we did but for which we didn't have a discrete program, is funding newly commissioned work, or work that has never been seen before in Philadelphia -- really having arts organizations add to the artistic canon, but also have audiences here see work they have not seen before. And, lastly, business-model transformation. If an organization decides it needs to reinvent its business model, what kind of funding can the foundation give?"But more broadly, the arts program grants money for general operating support, growing audiences and arts education, plus a category called "Great Public Spaces."That several of these ideals nestle in a single project explains William Penn's enthusiasm for the move by FringeArts -- sponsor of the annual fall Fringe Festival -- from intentional itinerancy to a more anchored life in a renovated pumping station on Delaware Avenue. The building, which drew $1.75 million in William Penn funding, is set to open in October. The foundation says it no longer is focusing on funding construction projects, except to the extent that a building is integral to changing a business model.Said Mosier: "FringeArts and its new building -- that had a lot of synergies to it in terms of what happens in creative communities, but it's about the FringeArts' business-model change from a two-week to a year-round presenter, and the building was key to that. But it also had synergies quite frankly with the Race Street Pier and that becoming more of a destination."The amount of money William Penn allots to arts and culture each year is set by the board, says William Penn chief philanthropy officer Laura Sparks, and that number will be the same this year as last ($23 million). "One of the things we can do as an institutional funder is have staying power," she says.William Penn, like many other foundations today, is focused on "capacity-building" -- foundationspeak for increasing audiences and donor bases. Mosier notes that some arts groups are trying to operate without holding out the traditional tin cup for tax-deductible donations."Up-and-coming arts organizations -- some are not even getting 501c3 status," says Mosier, using IRS shorthand for a tax-exempt nonprofit. "Traditional philanthropy is just not how they are going to be building their business. It may be about artists coming together formini storagea temporary project and raising money for the project and then moving on to something else."Ways of creating art are changing. I think it's only just the beginning as organizations are figuring it out."Pew move to D.C.Foundations routinely undertake self-reflective studies, recast their priorities, and, ultimately, fund and defund projects according to shifting philosophies. The changes at Pew, though, are more radical. In 2004, Pew legally ended its days as a traditional foundation that distributes grants, and became a public charity that gives out its own money as well as funds it has raised from others, and acts as a research and advocacy group.There's been another major change. Pew, headquartered in Philadelphia for decades, now has affixed its gaze elsewhere. It has opened offices in London and Brussels, and shifted most of its workforce to its new building in Washington -- even though it continues to claim Philadelphia as its headquarters.Still, despite the appearance of having left town, "the commitment to Philadelphia remains ever-present and ever-strong," said Rebecca W. Rimel, Pew president and CEO since 1994."We are here to stay, and our support for the arts has been unflinching," she said. "The notion of the walk away or a diminishing commitment to Philadelphia is just not borne out by any fact."Pew's latest tax returns show that, in addition to its giving to arts and culture, Pew still has a philanthropic presence in Philadelphia, awarding about $15 million in grants to local churches, social-service organizations, schools, and other charities. Pew granted an additional $180,000 to Philadelphia-area groups through its employee matching-gift program. The tax return also showed Pew's contribution of $22.8 million to the Barnes."The amount authorized by the board of directors for Philadelphia programs is approximately $30 million a year," wrote Pew spokeswoman Melissa Skolfield in an e-mail. "That includes spending on support for the arts and cultural programs; for care of the needy and the elderly; for the Philadelphia research initiative, which prepares nonpartisan, fact-based analyses of city issues, and for compelling civic opportunities."But gauging whether Pew is as engaged in Philadelphia as it once was is a more complex question.By any objective measure, Pew has moved to Washington, which it calls its "base of operations." The foundation had a total of 860 employees in the year ending in June 2012, according to that year's tax return. About 575 work in Washington, an additional 60 across the United States, and a few in Europe.Only about 90 remain in Philadelphia. Pew's 1993 annual report listed a total of 100 employees working for the foundation, all in Center City.Funding of arts and culture -- a traditional focus of some Pew family members -- has dwindled. In March, Pew announced a restructuring of its culture program. The Philadelphia Cultural Leadership Program is being phased out by 2015, and, instead, Pew said it would be putting its money into its Center for Arts and Heritage -- giving out $10 million in grants instead of the previous amount, $8 million.But 20 years ago, in 1993 and 1994, Pew was awarding $22.5 million annually through its culture program, according to its annual reports from those years. The vast majority of the money went to Philadelphia groups or to support performances and projects here. For Pew to be making a comparable payout to the operation of arts and culture groups today, adjusted for inflation, it would have to be giving $36 million a year."That's a board decision. The board looks at all available resources and they set an overall annual budget," said Rimel.The move by Pew away from providing pure operating money -- funds with no strings attached that help pay to keep the lights on -- to project-based giving is a significant development for many arts groups, given the increasing scarcity of this kind of money."I think most people in the arts would agree that there have been cutbacks in general operating grants from a number of foundations since 2008, some of whom eliminated funding for the arts altogether," said Philip Maneval, executive director of the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society. "Certainly we are hoping that trend can be reversed. We've made up for that loss by broadening our base of individual support."Pew says that instead of its operating support -- 21 groups currently receive this money -- it will add 20 percent to project grants to cover operating costs.Asked what kind of arts projects Pew is interested in funding, Rimel said:"High quality and high performing. And organizations that are meeting a market demand. If any organization produces high-quality products that consumers wish to see, then they are going to flourish."There are fabulous examples of this in some of the work being done in opera, here [in Philadelphia] and at the Met, in taking opera to locations where people wouldn't have access to the best performances. They are doing a lot of very innovative things to meet audiences where they are. People today are not used to time-bound and place-based experiences. They are used to getting things where they want it and when they want it. Without arts consumers, arts groups are not going to flourish."A new designation for PewThe changes in arts and culture are but a small part of the evolution of Pew. With the change to being a public charity, Pew is spending more money on itself than on others. For the year ending June 30, 2012, according to its tax forms, Pew spent $197 million on Pew-operated programs, travel, lobbying, consultants and all the other expenses of running the charity.For the same year, Pew's tax forms state that it gave out $162.1 million to groups internationally and across the United States. However, Pew figures into that number both money that passes through it from outside philanthropists as well as $19.4 million for the Pew Research Center. Stripping out those numbers reveals that Pew's own grants to other groups comes to a much smaller sum.By comparison, in 1993 Pew awarded a total of $166 million to education, religion, culture, and other sectors -- $43.8 million of it to the Philadelphia area. (Those figures would equal $263.8 million and $69.6 million, respectively, in 2012 dollars).A member of the Pew board who was there for its change in direction said the effort was led by Rimel."One thing I think they have is an extraordinary executive director taking the reins in Rebecca," said Paul F. Miller Jr., a board member for several years starting in 2004. "She has been trying to lead this family, which has its own ideas about things, and she has led them gently but firmly down some different roads. It didn't happen with suddenness, it happened over a period of time. I think there was a feeling, whether by the board or more by Rebecca, I am not sure, that the Pew research operation was gaining stature and was an extremely trusted organization, and that there was much less bang for the buck here in Philadelphia."Rimel points with pride to the expanded influence of the Pew brand as a source of information: on politics, religion, same-sex marriage, pay-day loans, gun control, marijuana, guns, and tattoos (23 percent of Americans polled in a 2010 survey said they were tattooed). In fact, Pew polls, experts, and studies were cited in the New York Times more than 320 times in 2012. In 2004, before the foundation's transformation to being a charity, the number of Pew citations in the Times was below 70.The change in mission has brought higher operating costs. In 2003, Pew had 163 employees -- less than a quarter of the current number. Today, with $5.3 billion in assets, Pew is spending about $97 million on salaries, other compensation, and employee benefits.Pew has become a hybrid organization -- part foundation, part advocacy nonprofit. To what other organization nationally could it be compared?"There isn't one," says Aaron Dorfman, executive director of the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy. "I see this as part of a larger trend in philanthropy for grant-makers to be more and more in the driver's seat in determining the issues that need to be addressed and the strategies and programs to be used to tackle those issues."We've seen over the last two decades narrower and narrower goals by many of the nation's grant-makers," Dorfman said. "Pew has simply said: 'We have a vision of what we want the world to look like and we have a pot of money to make that happen. Why should we pay someone to carry out those programs when we can do it better ourselves?' "To maintain its new legal status, Pew must raise a certain amount of money each year from outside sources. In recent years, that involved raising money for the Barnes Foundation's move to a new building on the Parkway -- a $201.7 million campaign. About $16 million from two outside sources to the Barnes shows up on Pew's tax form. A total of about 25 percent of money flowing out of Pew came from outside individuals, public charities, private foundations, corporations, and government entities, according to Pew's tax returns.Cultivating these sources -- their names are not listed -- is expensive. Pew spent $4.6 million on fund-raising.Rimel says she does not accept the idea that Pew's new strategy does not benefit Philadelphia."I really think of our national and international work as supporting Philadelphia, whether it's children having access to dental care or safety of the food supply."In Philadelphia in the past, on top of its more routine arts funding, Pew has often stepped in for bigger, special projects in Philadelphia with other partners. The coalition to pay down the Kimmel's construction debt was an example of that, as was the Barnes move and the recent renovation of the Benjamin Franklin Museum. Will Pew remain open to such ideas in the future?"Well, I mean, give me some ideas. The answer is yes," said Rimel. "I would like nothing better than to find a project where we could find new donors, find out what their philanthropic interests are, and how an organization like ours might partner with them on some big ideas."In my experience . . . donors invest in big ideas. The time has passed when donors invest or make contributions because it's the right thing to do or because it's what everybody is doing. They want to see their investment yield results. They are very eager to make those investments, but have a high quotient for accountability."The decision for Pew to join a trio or quartet of philanthropies around another grand project -- something akin to the coordinated effort to move the Barnes to the Parkway -- would ultimately be the decision of the Pew board, she said."Again, it is about the idea, the feasibility, the return on investment and the risk," said Rimel. "I can't imagine, if there was a big idea and an ability to have a range of partners, that they wouldn't be very open to hearing about the proposal."in the series: .inquirer.com/philanthropyINSIDEThe top foundationsin the area,by assets.

Local providers say they're prepared for 'Obamacare'
Source: The Times and Democrat, Orangeburg, S.儲存C.Sept. 29--Local hospital and health care officials say they are prepared for one of the biggest overhauls of the country's health care system, but do expect some "bumbles and stumbles" as individuals begin to enroll for health insurance under "Obamacare" beginning Oct. 1."We know it is going to be a challenge but we can handle it," Family Health Center Chief Executive Officer Leon Brunson Sr. said. "We are prepared and have been gearing up for this for years."Under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law by President Barack Obama in March 2010, beginning Tuesday individuals who don't have job-based insurance coverage, who can't afford their own plan or have a health problem that previously got them turned down will all be able to purchase insurance on what is called the health care exchange or health insurance marketplace.Coverage begins Jan. 1 and open enrollment ends March 31, 2014. Individuals who don't have health insurance and can afford insurance after March 31, 2014 will face a fine.The ACA's goals are to increase the quality and affordability of health insurance, lower the uninsured rate by expanding public and private insurance coverage and reduce the costs of health care for individuals and the government.The result will perhaps be more people using health services because more will be on insurance but exactly how ACA will impact health care usage is uncertain until the program kicks into full gear the first of the year."In the short term we are well staffed," Brunson said, laughing that "no one is totally excited about the work" but the FHC will survive.Brunson said the FHC has about 5,600 patients who come into its center from Orangeburg, Calhoun, Bamberg and Dorchester counties.He expects this number to triple to about 15,000 once the now-uninsured people in The T&D Region gain insurance. Brunson estimates that the FHC enrollment will double from 22,000 to 44,000 by 2016."If you have more paying people, you can't lose," he said.How much that will mean in revenues, however, is uncertain."This is hard to determine with the state of how Washington is right now," he said. "Washington does not know what it wants to do."Despite the uncertainty, Brunson says he is confident Family Health Center will grow as a result of the ACA."We are looking forward to it," he said. "We will expand and grow and offer more service lines by looking at vision care, behavioral health issues. We will be adding more providers and adding more access points and new sites."Brunson said one concern is the ongoing national doctor shortage. Will doctors be able to handle the expected patient influx?"We don't have that many doctors graduating from medical school today in South Carolina," he said. "There will be a major doctor shortage."He said the doctor shortage could result in some increased wait times for patients."You can't be prepared for every event that will happen," he said.Regional Medical Center President Tom Dandridge said the hospital is well prepared and has not even budgeted the ACA impact into its budget."Most people in the area have insurance through their respective employer," he said. The number of those patients will not change.RMC will be affected by South Carolina's decision not to participate in the Medicaid expansion, which was also part of the ACA.Citing a University of South Carolina study conducted for the S.C. Hospital Association, Dandridge said the RMC is expecting to see about $72 million in cuts from Medicare reimbursement and Medicaid and Medicare disproportionate share funds between 2014-2020.If the state agreed to the Medicaid expansion, the hospital would have been in line to benefit from $94.3 million in federal funding from 2014-2020."We are safe here," Dandridge said, noting some small rural hospitals in the state and nationally have already had to shut down due to the cuts in Medicaid."We have taken the cuts and have been aggressive in managing expenses. I think we are well on our way to do self storagehat," he said.Dandridge is confident the hospital will be able to absorb the cuts."We have a plan to provide more services like the Dialysis Access Institute and the expansion of the cancer center," he said.In the T&D Region, those most impacted by the failure to expand Medicaid are parents in low-income families of four making between $11,500 and $23,000 a year, childless adults making less than $11,000 a year and uninsured citizens ages 50 to 64.Dandridge estimates more than 12,000 people in Orangeburg and Calhoun counties, the two counties where most of the hospital's patients reside, fall into this category.Those poor and near-poor residents are likely to continue to be uninsured because the state declined to expand the Medicaid program. People below the poverty line will not be able to qualify for subsidies to buy coverage in the market. They will not be penalized for not buying insurance.Dandridge said the state did provide about $35 million in incentives for hospitals to steer patients away from pricey emergency room visits and to a "medical home" for those who will remain uninsured. Emergency room visits are considered one of the reasons for rising health care costs."We have identified people that have certain diseases like hypertension and diabetes who have no insurance and who have visited our emergency room at least five times in the last year," he said. Of the 400 people in that category, the hospital will have to find a primary care doctor for about 156 of them.Overall, Brunson said FHC patient sentiments are mixed as to the implementation of ACA."The ones who are educated are aware of it and are eager to sign up," he said. "Others have a little fearful attitude towards it because of what has been in the paper and what is going on in Washington and the confusion about government shutting down. We will educate our patients."Dandridge said he has not heard much from patients about the upcoming enrollment and does not know why."You wonder is it because they don't know or do they feel confident that they do know," he said.Dandridge said he hasn't heard much from doctors, either."They realize there will be frustrations for the first month or two on how to use it," he said.For example, he said that the calculator used to determine how much one's premiums and out-of-pocket expenses will be has some glitches.With only a few days before going live, Dandridge said he expects more of the same from the transition."Early on there will be some stumbles and bumbles with the exchange," he said. "With a six-month sign up period, I think they will work out the kinks. This is such a massive undertaking."Dandridge said the short time period to enrollment has concerned him because the hospital has not officially been able to train staff to help the public with the transition."We have done some self-education, but it would have been nice to have some training to know the finer points of how to use the exchange," he said.Dandridge said the hospital did apply to be a certified application counselor, but a call into the federal government has revealed its application is still in process."We will be happy to allow navigators to use the hospital," he said.Nationally, there are some concerns portions of the ACA are not ready for the official enrollment date. Small business and Spanish-language online enrollment services in federally run exchanges will not begin on Oct. 1 as planned but be delayed for at least one month due to technical problems.But Brunson said the FHC will make sure the local Spanish-speaking community will be served. The FHC will serve as a certified counselor site with trained staff to help people wanting to enroll."We will try to make sure we will be able to communicate with the Spanish population in our service area," he said.___Contact the writer: gzaleski@timesanddemocrat.com or 803-533-5551.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Times and Democrat (Orangeburg, S.C.)

開放熱情包容 接待八方來客
內地「十一黃金周」今天開始,mini storage預計七天全國至少7億人次出行,遠超春節假期的4.4億人次。其中,重點城市客運量將明顯增長;由於高速公路在長假期小型客車獲免費通行,駕車出行的人數料快速增長,交通流量較大。一周內湧現7億遊客,是個天文數字,世上罕見,料將創造內地最新紀錄。黃金周客流主要有四大特點,一是高鐵客運快速發展,長途道路客運受到分流,與高鐵相銜接的中短途道路客運需求明顯增加;二是北京、上海、杭州等重點城市和旅遊熱點地區,道路客運量和城市交通客運量都明顯增長;三是小客車免費通行政策,將拉動自駕遊;四是長假第一天和最後一天,大城市周邊進出城方向交通流量大增,熱點旅遊景區周邊高速公路交通流量將保持高位。面對繁忙交通流量,交通部門首要設法疏導車流,旅遊景點要設法疏導人流。去年國慶黃金周交通堵塞情況仍歷歷在目,許多路段塞車不是以小時計算,而是以半天半天計算;各大景區更出現「人滿為患」,在華山,數萬遊客擠爆景區,管理陷於癱瘓;在泰山,遊客排隊坐索道要用兩個半小時;在長城,遊客人流「築成新的長城」!去年的交通堵塞、人流擠擁情況希望能有所改善。黃金周的交通安全更為重要,更應引起有關部門重視。去年國慶黃金周共發生道路交通事故多達6.8萬宗,涉及人員傷亡的道路交通事故2,164宗, 造成794人死亡、2,473人受傷。其中在高速公路上發生的幾宗重大車禍,便造成近百人死傷。因此,今年黃金周必須做好交通安全工作,增派人員現場管理,務求把事故發生率降到最低。每逢黃金周,也是最多內地居民來港旅遊的時候。入境處預計今年國慶黃金周約有603萬旅客人次經各海、陸、空self storage制站進出香港,較去年同期增加約10.6%,當中約77%的旅客,即464萬多人次,會經各陸路邊境管制站進出香港。其中羅湖管制站在長假期間每日平均約28.9萬人次往返香港。黃金周期間如何讓數百萬遊客在港玩得開心,食得開心,住得開心,仍需旅遊、酒店、餐飲與零售等行業提供優質服務,仍需全港市民共同努力。推廣好客文化有一段電視宣傳短片,藝人劉德華有一句「今時今日咁�服務態度點得啊!」早已成為街知巷聞的口頭禪,但是,去年一個法國調查機構明查暗訪全球30條著名的商業街,發現擁有「購物天堂」稱號的香港竟然排尾二。雖然有關調查沒有詳述是在本港哪些商業街進行暗訪,但調查指香港主要在於途人對遊客不夠友好而失分。過去多次的旅遊調查,大都集中於交通、景點、酒店、餐飲與零售行業等服務,理大早前進行的「旅客滿意指數」調查,本港去年綜合評分近74分,評分是新加坡、澳門和深圳等四個受訪地區中評分最高,但是在零售、餐飲的滿意度方面輕微回落,反映本港旅遊業確有改善空間。調查中發現港人對遊客不夠友善,是語言溝通引致誤會?還是確實存在冷漠?港人宜自作檢討。但無論如何,「好客之道」有必要在全港推廣,除零售、餐飲等服務行業要推廣好客之道,每一名市民也要做好,細如旅客問路這樣的小事,如果我們都以微笑回應,都詳作解答,便能成功傳遞友善信息,讓遊客開心。香港是個好客之都,港人向有好客文化,近年大量內地遊客來港,難免產生一些摩擦,亦發生香港導遊強迫旅客購物而引起衝突事件,但這僅僅是兩地民眾交往中的枝節問題,港人應以開放和包容的態度,接待八方來客,讓香港好客美譽遠播。 相關新聞刊A15版mini storage

Business world wary of health-care overhaul
Source: Pittsburgh Post-GazetteSept.文件倉 29--This week's coming-out party for the health insurance marketplaces also represents a second unveiling of sorts of the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the most sweeping health care initiative in decades.The Affordable Care Act has hit several notable mileposts since President Barack Obama signed it into law in March 2010, from allowing young adults to stay on their parents' plans until age 26 to offering discounted prescription drugs and free preventive care for Medicare beneficiaries as well as ending lifetime limits for insurance coverage.All along, though, 2014 has been held out as the year that the ACA, more popularly known as Obama-care, really will start to take hold -- with insurance marketplaces opening where the uninsured can buy coverage, the possible expansion of Medicaid and the start of the personal mandate requiring everyone to either get insurance or be fined.For the business world, the traditional fount of U.S. employees' health coverage, the picture of what's headed their way is slowly coming into focus -- and what they see worries many."They are concerned. There are a lot of unknowns from an impact perspective," said Chris Shipley, assistant vice president in employee benefits for Henderson Brothers, Downtown, one of the region's largest insurance brokerages whose clients cross all business sectors.PG graphic: Protecting yourself from fraud(Click image for larger version)"We are doing everything we can to prepare them for this major change, and we have spent the better part of the last three years preparing for it."But with regulations and federal guidance still coming out, sometimes on a daily basis, it's not always clear what they should prepare for.Last week, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced that enrollment for the Small Business Health Options Program -- a program meant to simplify the insurance buying process for businesses with 50 or fewer employees -- would be delayed to November. That follows an announcement in July that the ACA employer manda存倉e, under which employers who don't offer adequate and affordable health coverage face penalties, would be pushed back a year to 2015.The delays give employers a little breathing room, but they are not entirely helpful, said Mr. Shipley.Had employers known about the delayed employer mandate in January, "They could have had a completely different approach to their multiyear strategy."The uncertainty, the changes and the still-in-process rule making aren't just minor inconveniences, said M. Christine Whipple, executive director of the Pittsburgh Business Group on Health.For example, the law says employers have to put out information on quality of care and transparency of care beginning in 2014, she said, "and nothing's been issued on it" to explain what that means or what it will entail."This is time and effort and expense that an employer has to expend to comply, which is time taken away from the job of managing their benefits and helping their employees," she said. "It involves not just human resources, but information technology and your tax department. It's impacting all departments within a corporation."It just becomes another expense to operate your business."In a recent survey done by the Downtown office of Buck Consultants, 68 percent of the responding employers said they expect the ACA will increase costs for their employees in 2014.Many of them attributed that expected increase to the additional taxes and administrative costs borne by employers under ACA that will be passed along to their workers through higher premiums, deductibles and copays."It's going to be very challenging for employers, as well as employees, until the exchanges are rolled out and there is some clear understanding what the prices are and how it will impact them," said Tom Tomczyk, a health benefits specialist at Buck."I just think there's going to be a lot of confusion."Steve Twedt: stwedt@post-gazette.com or 412-263-1963.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Visit the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette at .post-gazette.com Distributed by MCT Information Services儲存
廉價派遣工十年增加七倍 政府帶頭壓榨台灣薪資大崩盤
為了撲熄主計總處公布實質薪資倒退的民怨,迷你倉基本工資好不容易調漲了! 但是我們的勞動市場,真的有因此改善嗎? 除了「22K」現象,逐漸惡化的「派遣工」,正在改變台灣的就業形態。 糾紛不斷、立法延宕,濫用派遣已成為台灣薪資倒退16年的幫凶! 撰文•楊卓翰、林麗娟 研究員•楊政諭A八○,這是秀珍在某電信公司工作時的代號,在這裡,主管不知道她的名字。和她坐在同區,兩百多張辦公桌的名牌上,一樣都只以代號示人,她們是一群沒有聲音,也沒有名字的派遣工。 一年一簽的工作,沒有獎金、休假、福利,但她們願意忍耐並接受,只盼望有一天可以從派遣變正職,人生就有新希望。然而,秀珍的期待愈來愈不可能實現了,因為台灣正邁入「低薪派遣」的時代! 大學幼保系畢業的她,今年三十一歲,在這家電信公司客服部門當了六年多的派遣工,薪水還不到兩萬五千元,只有正職的一半。父母總是不解地問:「這麼大的電信公司,難道你能力那麼差,做了六年還不能升上正式員工嗎?」秀珍父母的質疑,是社會的主流看法,認為當派遣工是自己不上進。秀珍只能無奈地搖頭:「不是我不努力,而是高雄這兩百名客服人員都是派遣工啊!」她每天值班八小時,一周四十小時,環顧四周,整個公司的客服中心,正職還不到派遣人數的一半。七年來,轉為正職的人也僅有十多位。 勞工界的孤兒! 五十七萬派遣工 比外勞還弱勢原本,派遣工是企業用來應付臨時性、季節性的工作需求,屬於短期、非常態工作。但是,從民間企業到政府,都嘗到派遣人力低成本的甜頭,大家愈用愈沒有顧忌。行政院主計總處最新統計,今年實質平均薪資(薪資扣除物價膨脹)一口氣倒退回十六年前的水準,除了「22K」(大專畢業生到企業實習方案,月薪二.二萬元)之外,派遣已成為另一個箍住年輕人薪水的魔咒。 以秀珍的例子來說,他們不是電信公司員工,而是透過第三方的人力派遣公司,外派到電信公司工作。所以,派遣工的「雇主」不是電信公司,而是人力派遣公司,電信公司只是「要派公司」,不但不用對派遣工負法律責任,連廁所衛生紙都不肯多給,一人發一捲,用完才能再領。 法律上,要派公司不用支付派遣工保險、獎金、休假等福利,甚至資遣派遣工時,要派公司連資遣費都不用出。派遣工也沒有任何升遷管道,他們連名片也沒有,因為公司根本不承認有這些員工,像用完的寶特瓶,喝光後就丟回給派遣公司資源回收。 ○八年金融海嘯後,台灣的派遣人力大幅增加。學者及勞委會也統計,臨時性或派遣勞工人數從○二年的七萬多名,暴增七倍,到去年的五十七萬名,早就超越外勞的四十萬名,但他們的工作卻比外勞沒保障。 薪資倒退嚕! 年輕人就業難 把派遣當正職跳板文化大學勞工系副教授李健鴻更估算,像派遣這種「非典型就業」,在台灣實際數字可能超過百萬;也就是說,每十名勞動者,就有一名可能陷入像秀珍這樣惡劣的就業情況。主計總處統計,台灣去年經常性的平均薪資是三萬六千元,還比十年前少六%,但是國科會調查派遣人員平均薪資,僅是二萬六千八百元。派遣,已成為拉低台灣薪資的主要原因之一。 更令人擔憂的是,年輕人已成為派遣最大的「寶特瓶貨源」。台灣失業率居高不下,十五至二十四歲青年失業率飆破一三%,這群初出校園、沒經驗、沒本錢的年輕人,愈來愈多人的第一份工作別無選擇,就是「派遣」。 國科會調查,台灣五十七萬名的臨時和派遣工中,二十四歲以下勞工占了三成,而三十四歲以下竟占了六成五,派遣業者有大量「寶特瓶員工」可以使用。為什麼他們願意忍受?「很多人心想,先暫時做一下當跳板,還有機會轉正職。但是很多人一做,就是好幾年。」一名派遣公司的業務員說。 這股派遣浪潮已經席捲所有產業,不止低階職務,甚至高階職位也無法倖免。 大學畢業、現年二十八歲的許嘉雷(化名)在退伍後,就是透過派遣公司在IBM上班,工作內容是維護主機和系統測試,今年邁入第三年。 公司的一切,許嘉雷都熟悉,做的事情及工時也和正職一模一樣。就定義來說,他早就是長期雇員,但許嘉雷無奈地說,「薪水硬是差了二萬元,只有正職的六成。年終、三節獎金更是看得到、吃不到。」在公司待了三年,「連尾牙都不讓我們參加!」他還透露,有個單位原本機房主管還是正職,誰知從去年起,連部門主管也變成了派遣工,「整個部門都是派遣工在做。」「轉正職」的夢碎,許嘉雷也想過換工作,可是,房租怎麼辦?雖然有穩定交往多年的女友,他卻遲遲不敢和她談到結婚,因為過一天算一天的不確定感,已經讓他對未來與承諾失去信心。結婚、生子、買房,在他眼裡是好遠好遠的目標。 許嘉雷指出,IBM的派遣薪資已比其他同業大方,在各國都有用派遣工,這也早就是全球趨勢,「但台灣法令有沒有跟上,保護派遣工?答案是:沒有。」IBM副總經理林芳妃則表示,公司在全球各地雇用派遣勞工,絕對符合當地法令,並無違法。 大公司猛用派遣! 左手玩社會企業責任 右手剝削勞工一向「自我感覺良好」的總統馬英九,日前雖也為年輕人的低薪問題「感到歉疚」,卻沒有發現當他追求台灣經濟成長時,激增的派遣工市場,惡化的勞動條件,已讓多少台灣年輕人失去夢想? 趨勢愈來愈明顯:失業率走高、薪資降低、犧牲勞動條件的派遣工愈來愈多。企業長期雇用原本臨時性的派遣工,來壓低勞動條件,減輕勞動成本,結果是犧牲勞工權益來成就企業利潤。 光是雇主提撥勞退、勞保和健保不用負擔,以每月薪資二萬五千二百元的派遣工來說,就能省下四三八四元,一年可省五萬元,這還沒算進年終和資遣這些費用。這也是為什麼人力派遣公司統計過去八年,民間企業登錄網站徵求派遣工的筆數暴增十九倍,每天有高達將近三萬筆的派遣機會。 「很多應負擔社會責任的公司,還有中華郵政、中鋼、公廣集團等,都大量使用派遣工,而且超過十年的派遣工不在少數。」台灣通信網路產業工會理事長張緒中說,「這個『奴隸』市場有多巨大,左手玩社會企業責任,右手卻壓榨勞工『假派遣、真剝削』,說一套做一套,都是披著羊皮的狼!」政府是派遣工大本營! 愛用廉價高材生 比率最高逾六成不只是民間企業愛用派遣工,更誇張的是,政府竟然才是全國最大派遣戶,而且還用低於合理薪資三到四成的超低價,讓台灣的薪資更進一步崩壞。 在政府預算和人力縮編的情況下,業務量卻不斷增加,讓政府把腦筋動到派遣工來。根據監察院去年調查政府派遣勞工問題時發現,農委會及所屬機關派遣勞工達二八○三人、經濟部有二四三三人、教育部有一一七四人,高居各部會前三名。整個中央機關派遣勞工竟超過萬人。相較於日本和德國明文禁止政府公部門用派遣勞工,為什麼台灣政府卻自己大大用起派遣人員? 監察院最新報告指出,台灣政府去年採用一萬一千名派遣工,其中,碩士生就占了一千二百位,超過一成,而這些高學歷派遣工,有二○%的年資都超過五年。 今年三十多歲的李天強(化名),長年在教育部擔任派遣工。國立大學研究所畢業,擁有高學歷的他,派遣時間長達六年。 「我們單位派遣工也占了五成,而且就是要求大學學歷。」李天強說:「我們做的工作,和公務員完全一樣。」但是,他的薪水卻和正職差了不只一倍。 「我有碩士學歷,進去時就領到四萬二千元,做了六年,雖然比派遣到民間企業穩定,但本來與我是同事的公務員都已經變成我的主管,我卻還在領一樣的薪水。」他說。「當然不公平啊!但是失業率那麼高,我們在外面也不見得找得到工作,就這樣卡在中間……。」特別像是中研院、國家圖書館,任用比率甚至高達六○%以上。 這些,就是政府透過招標「低價採購」來的廉價高材生。 帶頭壓低薪資! 採最低價搶標 把派遣人力當商品政大勞工所教授林佳和說,本來政府的採購勞務,只有「雇傭」和「承攬」,派遣是違法的。「但隨著政府討論派遣合法性時,大法官會議卻把派遣解釋成符合《政府採購法》。從此,政府就能明著採購派遣。」中正大學法律系教授鄭津津就在行政院研考會的一篇報告中指出,政府大量採用標案,採最低價「價格標」,於是,派遣公司為了得標,自然就壓低「商品」的價格,派遣工這些「商品」,也就愈來愈不值錢。 「每一年都有新公司出來搶標,而且每一年的價格都愈來愈低。因為量大,所以他們都低於業界薪資水準的三到四成。標案價格越來越低,讓大型合法的派遣業者無法承接,最後接的派遣商,都是……嗯,鑽法律漏洞的。」一名知名派遣公司的中部主管說。 政府用低於市價四成的低標大量採購派遣工,在政府單位當過五年派遣工的謝先生感受最深。他在法務部待過五年,換過三家派遣公司,政府一開始從一人月薪三一五○○元開始招標司機,後來降成三萬元。派遣業者的利潤被壓縮,因此向派文件倉工抽取的「介紹費」也逐年增長,變相壓榨勞工。 「原本一個月派遣公司要抽七千五百元,但每換一家,條件就變差,」派遣公司找到各種名目向派遣工抽錢,「最後連勞保、健保都幾乎可以從我們身上扣回來,一個月活生生抽掉一萬元。」薪水愈做愈少的謝先生,最後因難以忍受而辭去派遣工作。 政府愛用派遣工,更因為他們招標的方式,反而助長不肖派遣業者。 鄭津津在報告中指出:「此一會造成『劣幣驅逐良幣』的現象,專業具規模的派遣公司在沒有合理利潤的情況下,不願意再參與。」政府帶頭壓低勞工薪資,逼退良心大公司,讓接案的公司愈來愈小,更讓聽都沒聽過的人頭公司有機可乘。 原來,為了搶得政府標案,很多派遣公司生出許多人頭公司。「成立派遣公司資本額和員工人數都沒有限制,連報備、許可都不用,隨便一家公司就能成立三、四個人頭公司。」今年用A公司標、明年用B公司標,配合政府不讓派遣工累積年資和特休。派遣工,就像交接的桌椅資產,被派遣公司和政府單位挪來挪去。 法令三不管地帶! 派遣工竟執行政府公權力 不只如此,這些派遣工在政府單位裡的工作,都與正職無異,有些甚至還可以在公文上蓋章。監察院的報告就發現,以台電為例,台電的招標設計圖、工程附屬機械設備之規畫設計、計畫型工程機械相關圖資審查、工程品質督導等,都是派遣工在做。 勞工陣線祕書長孫友聯就質疑,這些派遣工竟然能執行政府公權力,「我們要那麼多公務員做什麼?」而且,「很多企業都在看政府人力運用,政府既然帶頭用派遣工,民間企業哪裡不會學?所以我們的薪資和勞動條件一直往下掉,這是一個很大的主因。」中研院院士胡勝正也認同孫友聯的看法,「台灣的薪資差距擴大、勞動條件降低,若從較大的格局來看,是因為全球化,高階的薪水愈來愈高,低階的工作,如果可以取代,那麼薪資就會愈來愈低。」胡勝正舉例,「像電信客服現在連整個服務區塊,都可以外包給大陸了。」全球化競爭之下,沒有差異化的職業,自然容易被取代。 然而,台灣濫用派遣,卻讓這個情況變本加厲。原本確實需要這些臨時派遣工,但我們的企業卻把臨時工當正職在用。再加上「同工不同酬」的現象,等於是變相將勞動廉價化。 李健鴻更指出,台灣在轉型服務業時,薪資卻沒有同步成長。雖然服務業已占就業人口六成,但服務業薪資在過去十年幾近停滯,而台灣濫用派遣,讓這個情況變本加厲。原本產業上確實需要這些臨時性的派遣工作,但我們的企業卻把臨時工當正職在用。胡勝正雖認同派遣的立意甚好,但他仍搖頭說:「這個現象,是確實存在的。」「同工不同酬」的現象,等於是變相將勞動廉價化;醫療、法律、會計等領域,各行各業都樂用派遣。這些非典型勞工人數自然與日俱增,勞動市場已逐漸變成高度不穩定的非典型。「他們雖有工作,但薪資不足,形成『新貧階級』。」李健鴻說。派遣導致低薪人口快速增加,成為台灣實質薪資倒退的元凶之一。 怎麼解決?胡勝正認為派遣仍須健全的勞動市場才能發揮效用,因此最根本的法令必須先出爐,「這要從根本來治理。法令就要規定,從嚴治市。」回顧台灣派遣已有幾十年歷史,至今派遣卻仍沒有法規可循,勞工、要派公司、派遣業者三方的複雜契約關係,更成為勞資糾紛的溫床。勞委會在○九年到一一年,針對派遣業者進行調查,發現每年違反《勞基法》的比率高達八五%,其中以未給加班費、未依法提繳或調整勞退月提繳工資最嚴重。立法,勢在必行。 雖然胡勝正及國內勞動法學者都贊成將派遣法制化,不過,勞工團體卻有不同看法。孫友聯指出,如果派遣入法,並採負面表列,僅限制少數行業不能用派遣,等於宣告政府、企業可以「明著用」,害怕門戶大開。 新草案擬鬆綁! 門戶大開 正職工飯碗恐不保遺憾的是,勞團害怕的噩夢恐怕會實現,《今周刊》獨家取得九月六日最新修正版的《派遣勞工保護法》草案,根據這份相關人士口中「確定會送件」的草案條文中,雖然明確制定例如積欠工資、勞動災害的賠償責任,減少了派遣三方的責任規避,但草案中赫見第二十三條分為甲案和乙案,當乙案規定派遣工不得超過企業員額四○%時,甲案卻是「不規範要派單位使用派遣人數比例限制」。 「勞委會打算取消上限,覺得如果訂定上限,反而會『鼓勵企業用盡派遣員額』,增加派遣人數。」林佳和說。但是,這種解釋實在難以說服勞團,孫友聯就大力指責勞委會打算取消上限,再加上只針對保全、醫療等少數產業禁止派遣,根本是為了方便政府大量使用派遣訂出的法律,等於大開門戶,「讓企業和政府派遣於法有據,正職工將全面被取代!」他擔憂地說。 熟悉日本《勞動法》的文化大學法學系教授邱駿彥也提醒,就算是派遣業大興其道的日本,法規仍然規定一定的上限。邱駿彥說:「從國外的派遣進程來看,都是從嚴格到鬆綁。台灣卻是反其道而行,從鬆到嚴,與其說管制,不如說是『就地合法』。」就連贊同用派遣活化勞動市場的胡勝正也認為:「在開始的階段,我們應該先用正面表列(僅准許少數行業派遣,多數禁止),減少大家的疑慮。等我們熟悉後,知道怎麼做規範後,再轉用負面表列(僅禁止少數行業派遣,多數准許)。」即使如此,草案中也有關鍵的一點,特別受到學者和勞團重視,也就是第十六條「要派單位雇用派遣勞工,不得低於從事相同工作性質職務勞工之工資」。這正是德國和日本等先進國家所設定的「平等待遇」與「同工同酬」原則。 如果真的能實現,那就是台灣派遣市場的一大進步,因為「這麼一來,派遣工薪資會與正職一樣,不但可以減少政府和企業濫用派遣工的誘因,也能夠拉升目前派遣工的薪資。」林佳和說。而這正是保護派遣勞工重要的關鍵之一,這也是為什麼德國和歐洲雖然派遣勞工比率高,但是卻沒有像台灣及日本有如此嚴重的社會問題。 面對派遣魔咒,惡化年輕人的低薪問題,馬總統不應該只有歉疚,而是正視面對,整個社會更不該再冷眼旁觀。派遣法規最後定案究竟如何走,又會如何衝擊擁有一千萬勞工的勞動市場,身為派遣工的秀珍和許嘉雷或許無能為力,但是值得你我深刻思考與關心。因為,當派遣、低薪趨勢已成定局,用完就丟的派遣工已從藍領往白領延伸,若沒有完善法令健全勞動市場,你我沒有人可以逃得了「寶特瓶員工」的命運。 青壯年族群占最大宗——台灣派遣人力的樣貌 平均年齡33.1歲 平均月薪26819元 平均派遣工作年資3.89年更換派遣公司頻率3.31家 福利不如正職員工 ——要派公司提供派遣工福利比率 項目 比率(%) 各項補助(生育、結婚等) 34.6 年終獎金 30.8 績效分紅 3.8 法定以外其他保險(如團體保險) 34.6 資料來源:2013年台灣非典型就業變遷調查 錯綜複雜的派遣三方關係 和傳統雇主及員工只有兩方關係不同,勞動派遣牽涉到三方。派遣業者雇用勞工,然後提供勞務給要派公司。對派遣人員而言,他聽命於要派公司主管,也受主管監督與指揮,但雇主卻是派遣業者。 帶頭壓榨! 政府是派遣人力最大戶 行政院所屬機關運用派遣人數 年別 實際運用 派遣工人數 中央各機關公務員人數 派遣工與公務員比率(%)2010 12985 186381 6.9 2011 11930 187114 6.3 2012 10738 187670 5.7 資料來源:行政院人事行政總處、銓敘部2009年中央機關派遣比重逾30%一覽表非正式人員占全部人員比率 機關名稱60%以上 中研院、國家圖書館50∼59% 法務部行政執行署、文建會、農業藥物毒物試驗所等11機關40∼49% 教育部、體委會、勞工安全衛生研究所、經濟部加工出口區管理處等12個機關30∼39% 交通部、衛生署、營建署、經濟部水利署、故宮博物院、國有財產局、原民會、客委會等20個機關 資料來源:審計部 2012年行政院派遣勞工運用人數排行榜 排行 機關 人數 1 農委會 2803人 2 經濟部及所屬事業機構 2433人3 教育部及所屬事業機構 1174人 資料來源:監察院 派遣工年年增, 比率逼近派遣大國日本 各國勞動派遣人員占全體勞工比率 單位:%台灣 韓國 日本 德國 美國2009年 1.1 0.4 1.8 1.6 1.5 2010年 1.5 0.4 1.5 2 1.8 2011年 1.4 - 1.5 2 - 註:台灣為僅占工商及服務業從業人員的比率資料來源:勞委會國際勞動統計 台灣派遣工人數成長 2002 2009 2010 2011 2012 7萬 51.7萬 53.9萬 53.1萬 57.4萬註:統計沒有獨立計算派遣,而是納入臨時性就業者資料來源:主計總處2012年勞動情勢統計要覽存倉

旅途樂與路伍世然前年在四川甘孜州自駕旅遊,self storage經過一個叫新都橋的地方時,我們投宿在當地的一個小旅館。旅館里,一個穿運動服、戴著眼鏡的男孩引起了我的注意。他看上去像是一個學生,然而卻在旅館里幹著服務員的活,無論是打掃房間,還是在餐廳里端菜,都可以看到他。有意思的是,他身上總帶著書,一有空閑的時候,他就會在一旁專心地看書。那天晚上,旅館停電了,可我還要寫稿發稿,這可急壞了我。幾經交涉,旅館的老闆讓我到另一棟樓的值班室去使用他們的電腦,那裡的電是走另外的線路,電壓相對穩定一點。這總算解決了我的燃眉之急。那個學生模樣的服務員,看到我在用電腦,就饒有興致地走過來看。細聊之下,才對他的情況有所瞭解。他叫天福,14歲了,母親是旅館的服務員,他因放暑假,因而有時間過來幫忙,一天的酬勞是20元。"別人放暑假都是去玩,你為什麼要來這裡幹活呢?"我問道。"窮唄,我老爸原來是這條318國道上的一個運輸司機,前幾年出車禍死了。只剩下媽媽帶我生活。她收入不高,所以我一有空就會來這裡幹活幫忙,賺點錢,減輕一下她的負擔。老闆很好,有時生意好還會多給我10塊錢。"生活的不幸,從天福的嘴里說出來,卻沒有一點抱怨。"你是記者對吧?真羨慕你。我也很喜歡寫作。"天福說迷利倉,從衣服的口袋里拿出一本筆記本,"這是我平時寫的一些東西,你幫我指導指導。"那本殘舊的筆記本,封面髒兮兮的,內頁的邊角都已經卷起來,裡面寫的內容,都是一些人生感悟和所見所聞之類的文章。其中,一篇名為《天上的西藏》的文章,引起了我的興趣。無論是題目還是內容,這篇文章都相當特別,寫的是作者想象中的西藏景色。於是我便問天福為什麼會寫這樣的文章。"我老爸生前,就是經常往西藏跑運輸的。小時候,他就告訴我,西藏在天上,很遠很遠,也很美很美,將來一定帶我去。所以從小我就想去西藏看看,看看爸爸常去的地方是什麼樣的。後來他去世之後,這個願望就更加強烈了。有一次跳上318線上的貨車準備到西藏去看看,被媽媽發現了,被追了回來。所以到現在,我也沒去過西藏,只能自己通過想象寫文章。"天福說道,"有時候總想,爸爸在天上,西藏也在天上,有種到了西藏就能看到爸爸的感覺。"天福還告訴我,由於生活拮据,他快要輟學去打工了,"生活困難,學費都快交不起了。所以我決定了早點出來幹活。等賺夠了錢,我就去西藏,看一看天上的西藏究竟有多美。"說完,天福笑了,笑聲有點幹澀。接下來,他被叫去幹活了,我們短暫的交流就此停止。值班室又只剩下我一人。我對著電腦,半晌卻寫不出一個字。自存倉

BMW tries to seize luxury market with 5 Series Li
By HAN TIANYANG hantianyang@chinadaily.mini storagecom.cn BMW recently launched the new 5 Series Li in China, a Life Cycle Impulse model of the premium executive sedan, which is now in its sixth gen-eration. Made at the local joint ven-ture between BMW and Bril-liance Auto, the model has an extended wheelbase compared to analogous models in other markets, which is why it is called the Li. The car has a new front look, with additional contour lines surrounding the grille and lower air intakes that further underline its sporty appear-ance. Other new features include adaptive LED head-lights and fog lamps. Customers can choose either the Luxury Line, which features chrome trim in many parts of the car to reinforce the elegant style, or the Modern Line with matte decorations that add a fashion touch. BMW offers its latest intel-ligent ConnectedDrive tech-nology on the new 5 Series Li to provide convenient Internet access and advanced driver assistance on the car. he iPhone's Siri voice con-trol function is for the first time incorporated in its Connect-edDrive system. Many other applications that are popular with Chinese smartphone users are also available on the car now. The new 5 Series Li has three engine options – 2.0 liter Twin-Power Turbo four-cylinder engine, 3.0 liter TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder and 3.0 liter naturally aspirated six-cylinder – all of which are award-win-ning BMW products. The car is the first in its seg-ment to be equipped with an eight-speed automatic trans-mission as standard, allowing it to achieve extraordinary shifting performance and fuel effciency. The idea of customer ori-entation is very important for BMW, said Olaf Kastner, president and CEO of BMW Brilliance Automotive Ltd, the local joint venture. "As the market moves, the customer demand moves. What pleased them two years ago might not please them today.They expect that you go with time," he said. "this is what we have done, and I am very confident that this new 5 Series Li will con-tinue its success story." BMW began to make the long-wheelbase 5 Series sedan in China in 2006. The local product went through a gen-erational update in 2010, when the overseas model entered its sixth generation. For any carmaker, it is not easy to make a smash hit model in a competitive market and to sustain the success is even harder. But BMW has man-aged to make its 5 Series a product with lasting popular-ity globally, especially in China.Since the current generation went on sale in 2010, delivery of the 5 Series has totaled more than 1 million units worldwide, and in China, the figure has exceeded 250,000. Now the average monthly sales of the 5 Series in the country is above 10,000 units and is still on an 儲存pward trend. the carmaker also produces the 3 Series sedan and the X1 SAV at its local joint venture in Shenyang, Liaoning province.It makes both the standard-wheelbase and long-wheelbase 3 Series in China, an "excellent decision", Kastner said. Com-bined sales of the two models total nearly 7,000 units per month, with the long-wheel-base version accounting for a bit more than half. Sales performance of the X1 has been so strong that the company currently cannot produce enough to meet the market demand, he said. The company is ramping up production at its facilities and by the end of this year, com-bined capacity of its two vehicle plants in the northeastern city of China will reach 300,000 units a year, he said. A new engine plant is now under construction there and is set to be operational in 2016.The aggressive expansion anticipates an expected boom in premium car consump-tion throughout the coun-try, although the market has slowed down from the torrid pace of between 40 to 70 per-cent growth in previous years, Kastner said. This year the premium car market will see growth in the low double digits, but com-pared to the rest of the world, the market here is growing at a fast pace, he said. He said China's middle-class population is growing rapidly, among whom there's huge potential in consumption of premium cars. Another indicator he pro-vided is that premium car sales now account for about 9 to 10 percent of the overall car mar-ket in China, while the propor-tion is around 13 to 14 percent in the West. "Both the growth in the cus-tomer base and in the share of premium car consumption together give us confidence that there will be growth," he said. Despite the positive outlook, competition in the local mar-ket is increasingly fierce now that almost all the premium car brands have a presence here now. The three dominant German premium brands still hold the majority of China's premium car market, but enterprises from other parts of Europe as well as the United States and Japan are eagerly seeking to expand their territories. Kastner said that he is aware of many stories of brands – not only in the auto industry but also in other sectors – that were once very successful but even-tually failed to remain com-petitive. "The market moves fast, and there are people coming up who are not even well known in the industry before, and they take your market share away," he said. "We are working very hard so that this will never happen to us." He said that the company will not be complacent but will keep climbing. "Product launch is a start instead of an end. We must always make efforts to provide customers better products and services. This is what keeps you successful." 儲存倉

互動話題請發至13901296241 haixia1818@vip.sina.com ●"大黃鴨"有什麼意義?最近"大黃鴨"的消息充滿電視及報端,迷利倉像玉皇大帝要下凡似的,後來看見了,原來不過是一隻充氣的橡膠玩具。有什麼意義嗎?——手機尾號7741讀者海霞回信:大黃鴨(英文名:Rubber Duck),是由荷蘭藝術家弗洛倫泰因·霍夫曼(Florentijn Hofman)創作的巨型橡皮鴨藝術品。自2007年第一隻"大黃鴨"誕生開始,霍夫曼帶著他的作品從荷蘭的阿姆斯特丹出發,截至2013年6月,先後造訪了德國紐倫堡、巴西聖保羅、日本大阪、英國倫敦、澳大利亞悉尼等14個城市,大黃鴨所到之處都受到了很大的關注,也為當地的旅遊及零售業帶來了極大的商業價值。●感謝道德模範孫茂芳看到孫茂芳當選全國道德模範,我感觸很多。家人也時常提到他,總想當面謝謝他。我的丈母娘原住陸軍總院對面的墨河胡同,老頭去世早,後來大哥、二姐、三姐也相繼病故,我家又住得遠。記得上世紀80年代初,孫茂芳就開始照顧老人,不僅送醫送藥逢年過節還送食品,老人非常感動,常對我們說起這些事,還說孫茂芳說了我能活到100歲。因拆遷的變故,老人到了我家,便與孫茂芳失去聯繫。老人活到99歲,離世之前還提到孫茂芳。今想借貴報轉達我們對孫茂芳的祝福與感謝,您是我們永遠學習的榜樣。——手機尾號5349讀者海霞回信:一天做好事容易自存倉難的是一輩子,孫茂芳幾十年如一日做好事,默默無聞,不是一般人能做得到的。這樣的好人是大家學習的榜樣。●天橋地區出行提醒受天橋地區福長街、東經路改為單行線影響,9月29日首車起,837路、837快、832路上車站移至南緯路;831路、836慢車上車站移至北緯路(瀟湘大廈)對面。請大家相互轉告,以免耽誤出行。——手機尾號9579讀者●毀樹撿白果不文明銀杏樹本身就是稀有樹種,我們奉勸毀樹的少數人,要手下留情。望有關部門在這個季節加強管理。我們希望毀樹的少數人要提高環境保護意識,改掉不文明習慣,為保護北京綠色環境,貢獻自己的一份力量!——手機尾號9769讀者海霞回信:在地上撿點也就算了,千萬別毀樹。個別人總是有貪小便宜的毛病。其實到市場上去買,花不了多少錢。●孩子兩個月學完拼音 快了吧我是"70後"的媽媽,兒子今年上小學一年級,課時安排太緊湊,兩個月就要把所有的漢語拼音學完。在我上學的年代,一年級只是上半天課,漢語拼音要學一學期,孩子們在玩中慢慢過度。而現在的孩子太苦了,硬生生把孩子從幼兒園的生活過渡到小學,說要減負,能不能改改課時安排,讓孩子們有個適應過程。這樣的話,所有的爸爸媽媽們也不會讓還在上幼兒園的孩子們上各種補習班了。——手機尾號5102讀者海霞回信:減負不僅僅是減少作業量,而是教育觀念上要減負。小學生學的內容簡單一些、進度慢一些很有必要,到了中學再加難度也不遲。mini storage

融通貨基升級“T+0” 三大功能一步到位
☉本報記者 黃金滔 安仲文隨著基金電商戰愈演愈烈,儲存貨幣基金"T+0"的門檻不斷被抬高。上證報記者獲悉,融通基金日前正式推出融通貨幣"T+0"快速贖回業務,針對融通網上直銷購買融通貨幣的投資者,同步實現了 7×24小時隨時贖回、每個投資者單日快速贖回最高金額達500萬元、全額贖回時未結轉收益同步到賬等三大功能。這也是首家實現"T+0"快速贖回業務三大重點功能一步到位的基金公司。據統計,從去年10月匯添富、南方、國泰三家基金公司獲批推出貨幣基金"T+0"快速贖回業務以來,已有近20家基金公司開通了該業務,2013年上半年末貨幣基金規模排名前十的基金公司悉數在列。這一業務自推出以來,各家基金公司就不斷地對辦理快速贖回的時段、贖回資金最高限額、未結轉收益處理等三大核心功能進行升級、優化,以提供更好的客戶體驗。其中,辦理快速贖回業務的時段由最初的僅限于交易日擴展到非交易日,由交易時段擴展到7×24小時。目前,已有廣發、華安、匯添富、self storage實、融通等公司實現了365天、7×24小時的全年不間斷支持實時贖回。每個客戶的單日最高贖回限額則由5萬至10萬元,逐步提升。在融通基金之前,匯添富基金在今年4月將贖回限額上限提升至500萬。對於份額上限為500萬的貨幣基金A類客戶來講,這也就等於贖回金額不設上限。各基金公司在"T+0"全額贖回時未結轉收益的處理上也頗費心思。目前,部分貨基在"T+0"全額贖回時,要在收益結轉日(通常是每月15日左右)拿到未結轉收益。而南方、融通等公司則能在全額贖回時,未結轉收益與贖回款項同步到賬,顯示出基金公司TA系統與"T+0"業務匹配更到位。業內人士認為,融通基金推出貨幣"T+0"快速贖回業務之初,就實現了不限時、不限額、全額贖回時未結轉收益實時劃轉,在三大核心功能上一步到位,表明基金公司在"T+0"業務上的競爭日趨激烈,進入門檻也越來越高。融通基金有關人士也表示,下一步,融通基金將進一步開發貨幣基金的其他功能,為直銷客戶提供更好的體驗。迷利倉

蘋果:從偉大,到優秀
沒有驚喜。9月10日,儲存在蘋果的加州庫比蒂諾總部,由蒂姆·庫克主持的最新一次新品發佈會,可以用這樣四個字來簡單概括。新iPhone5S和5C,性能與外界的預期基本一致。沒有傳說中的iWatch,沒有iTV,沒有新iPad。沒有任何驚喜。還記得第一代iPhone面世的場景嗎?2007年1月9日,喬布斯以他一慣的幽默卻不失煽情的方式,向世人介紹了這個"具有革命性意義"的產品:"這一天,我已經為之期待了兩年半的時間。在每一個時代,都會有一些屬於它的革命性產品出現。如果能在整個職業生涯當中遇到其中一個,那就已經非常幸運了。而蘋果,更是幸運兒當中的幸運兒,因為,我們開發出了不止一款改變世界的產品。1984年,Macintosh電腦面世,它不僅改變了蘋果,還改變了計算機產業。2001年,我們推出了iPod,它不僅改變了我們聽音樂的方式,還改變了整個音樂產業……","今天,我們將重新定義手機"。不斷推出革命性的產品,不斷地為這個世界製造驚喜,讓這家由喬布斯于1976年創立的公司,贏得了"偉大"的聲名。當然,它也最終成長為了全球"最賺錢"的公司。然而,僅僅在喬布斯離世近兩年之後,這家以"非同凡想"(Think Different)為口號的公司,雖依然堪稱"優秀",但似乎已在逐漸褪去傳奇的色彩。站在一個富有傳奇色彩的魅力型領袖喬布斯身後,對於蘋果現任CEO庫克來說,可以說是一個"悲劇"。因為,他將會不斷地被人拿來與喬布斯對比。但與此同時,他也將在某種意義上"重新定義"喬布斯。因為未來,在庫克領導下的蘋果,將會向外界揭示這個頗具神秘色彩的公司的一個核心機密:喬布斯的偉大之處,到底是創造了一系列革命性產品,還是一家可以持續創新的公司。被帶進墳墓的"靈感""喬布斯,已經把蘋果的靈感帶進了墳墓。"在iPhone 5S發佈半個月之後,魅族科技CEO白永祥對本報記者稱。他直言,這一次,蘋果並沒有體現出之前的創新性,"在iPhone 4S之後,蘋果就開始顯得'平庸'了"。值得注意的是,iPhone 4S也是喬布斯時代的最後一部iPhone。據稱,喬布斯在去世前一天,依然在病榻上觀看了iPhone 4S的發佈會。事實上,在9月2日舉行的魅族MX3發佈會上,這家一直聲稱"以蘋果為師"的中國手機廠商,已經表現出了它的"僭越"之意。在發佈會現場,魅族多次將MX3與iPhone進行比較,而不再是同屬安卓陣營的三星或HTC。這在魅族以往的新品發佈會,是非常少見的。當然,直至今日,在魅族的產品設計上,依然能夠看到很多蘋果的影子。比如,在MX3發佈時,魅族弱化了硬件配置的比較,轉而強調系統和硬件的流暢體驗。同樣認為蘋果新品發佈會"沒有驚喜"的,還有維爾尚董事長盧德曉。這家以手機配件起家的公司,當年正是因為抓住了iPhone風靡的機遇,成為了在移動互聯網浪潮中生存下來的少數華強北企業。"當年,做iPhone 4的外殼,是個一勞永逸的事情,因為iPhone 4作為一個單一手機型號,已經造成萬人空巷的搶購。作為外設廠家,我們不需要考慮庫存積壓的問題,更不用像此前還要顧及與其他手機型號的產品線分配問題,只要弄到iPhone 4的模具,然後迅速開工,將渠道建設好,就可賺到錢。"當然,作為配件廠,在分享蘋果帶來的巨大市場效益的同時,維爾尚也在承擔著蘋果升級換代和技術標準改變帶來的風險。"如果蘋果在智能手機上再做出什麼顛覆性的設計,那麼,我們之前積累的優勢將會蕩然無存,將和很多行業新手處於一個起跑線。"盧德曉說。也許正因為如此,盧德曉覺得,在喬布斯去世後,蘋果創新力度的減弱,對他來說並不是一件壞事。"我覺得,蘋果今年的新品沒有什麼新意。和我們必須之前拿到的資料完全一樣,我們只要按部就班地去做手機殼和移動電源就好。"財務表現依然"優秀"雖然遭到中國同行的"僭越"和配件廠商的吐槽,但至少從財務上來說,蘋果仍然是全球"最賺錢"的企業,表現依然堪稱優秀。蘋果2012年財報顯示,當年,蘋果實現銷售收入1565.08億美元,實現淨利潤417.33儲存倉美元,分別較喬布斯去世的2011年增長了44.58%和60.99%。對於蘋果的卓越財務表現,iPhone的貢獻相當突出。2012年,iPhone和相關產品、服務,為蘋果貢獻了804.77億美元的收入,在總收入中的占比,超過了50%。在某種意義上,2007年第一代iPhone發佈並上市之後,蘋果的財務表現,便與這款旗艦產品的市場表現息息相關。其2012年1565.08億美元的銷售收入,相比2008年的374.91億美元,增長了317.5%。更重要的是,隨著iPhone的熱銷,蘋果的利潤率也在不斷大幅提高。2008年至2012年,蘋果的利潤率分別為16.32%、19.19%、21.48%、23.95%和26.67%。但2013年,蘋果的增長已經出現停滯,甚至是下滑的趨勢。據蘋果2013年二季報(4至6月),當季,蘋果實現銷售收入353.23億美元,較2012年同期的350.23億美元略有增長,但其69億美元的淨利潤額,卻較2012年同期的88.24億美元,大幅下滑21.8%。這在很大程度上歸咎于,2012年9月發佈的iPhone 5,庫克時代真正意義上的第一部iPhone,並沒有達到市場的預期。雖然,蘋果當月的股價,創下了歷史高點,705.07美元/股。創新力度的減弱,最終讓蘋果的利潤率,在2012年之後開始下滑。2012年10月至2013年6月,蘋果的利潤率為22.12%。2013年4至6月,蘋果的利潤率進一步下滑至19.53%。下一個iPhone在哪裡?2013年2月,蘋果在加州庫比蒂諾總部召開了2013年股東大會。當時,蘋果的股價已跌至480美元/股下方,相比2012年9月的歷史高點,跌去了約三分之一。承受巨大壓力的庫克,在股東大會上稱:"請大家耐心,蘋果關注的是長期性的產品。未來,我們依然會有偉大的產品。"7個月後,蘋果推出了iPhone 5S和5C,傳說中的iWatch和iTV並未如期現身。可以說,雖然喬布斯已然離去,但整個市場對蘋果的期待依然如舊,那就是"超越期待"。而當蘋果也一改以往的"孤傲"風格,像其他品牌一樣向市場"妥協"時,迎來的卻是市場巨大的失望之聲。而蘋果的股價,依然在480美元/股附近徘徊。事實上,不管是蘋果的用戶、股東還是合作伙伴,他們都在向以庫克為代表的管理層提出一個最簡單的問題:下一個像iPhone一樣的"革命性產品",在哪裡?盧德曉便是其中的一員。雖然,由於三星等品牌的崛起,他的智能手機配件業務,已經擺脫了對蘋果的依賴,但他依然期待蘋果引爆下一個市場熱點。他希望,iWatch和iTV的相關配件業務,能夠讓自己的生意更進一步。但他直言,蘋果目前的表現讓他"很失望"。在創維集團總裁、彩電事業本部董事長楊東文看來,iTV,將是蘋果"再次改變世界的產品"。"目前,智能電視的標準尚未明朗,所有的企業做智能電視,都是'摸著石頭過河'","我們一直希望,有一家像蘋果這樣的公司,能夠為智能電視做一個產品定義,就像用iPhone來為智能手機來做定義一樣"。TCL集團研發中心主任、TCL工業研究院副院長馬松林,對iTV的期待,則要低得多。"蘋果的創新研發,與很多中國企業不同,一般都是提前10年甚至更長的時間就做研發準備。所以,蘋果近年來創新力度的減弱,可能是前期對未來的預判出現了問題。而未來,沒有了喬布斯,蘋果將更難對未來方向做出一個準確的預判。"馬松林說,"至於iWatch,蘋果的動作,也明顯晚于三星這些安卓陣營的品牌。"而即便,庫克領導下的蘋果,最終將iTV和iWatch推上市場,它們仍需接受市場的苛刻的檢驗。iPhone 5,便是前車之鑒。在科通芯城執行總裁朱繼志看來,從硬件設計上看,iPhone 5已經被"過度設計"了。"iPhone 5沒有顧及到用戶體驗,很多微小尖端的設計,很難在普通消費者身上體現出來。喬布斯追求極致的特色,在iPhone 5上得以延續,但蘋果內部已經沒有第二個人,能夠像喬布斯一樣,可以將極致設計、用戶體驗以及市場反應,做到完美融合。"迷你倉最平

引領網絡安全產業變革 360重新定義網絡安全
9月23日,文件倉由中國互聯網協會和國家計算機網絡應急技術處理協調中心(CNCERT╱CC) 指導,360公司主辦的2013中國互聯網安全大會(ISC)在北京國家會議中心舉行。作為國內規 模最大的信息安全專業會議。ISC由互聯網安全主題會議、專業技術論壇等多種形式組成,匯聚了近百位全球頂級信息安全專家,一起聚焦新時代的安全變革。360將發佈神秘"天眼"在本屆ISC上,Gartner攜手360發佈了名為《互聯網時代的企業安全發展趨勢》的報告。報告指出,到2020年,以預防為主的安全策略將是無效的或徒勞的。屆時,信息保護、快速響應和情報共享將成為信息安全策略基礎的重心。中國企業網站安全問題嚴 峻:75.6%國內網站存高危漏洞,缺乏統一管理易形成"木桶效應".需要建設立體防禦體系才能有效解決。研究表明。到2020年,企業所面臨的安全威脅將會更加多樣化,不儀僅是企業資產,員工個人也可能遭到直接的攻擊。另外,雖然有些企業採用了統籌協 調的安全管理,但有些企業的安全管理仍相對鬆散,因此針對每種不同的具體情況,企業應對攻擊的響應力式也會有所不同。360公司董事長兼CEO周鴻禕指出殺毒軟件已經成為網絡安全中很小的組成部分。用戶在使用電腦的時候,開機速度變慢、操作反應遲緩都會被認為是"安全問題"。周鴻禕表示,目前網絡安全已經不單單是一家企業能夠滿足的。隨著未來安全威脅不斷擴大,360非常希望能和安全行業的同行大家共同合作,也很願意把360公司好的技術.特別是在終端方面一些好的產品理念與大家來分享。周鴻禕透露,360將發佈神秘產品"360天眼"。據悉,國外有—家專門做APT防禦的公司"fireeye"剛剛上市。美國國防部等都在用該公司的產品,大概原理就是把企業的流量關進沙箱運行,層層 分析後再將安全流量導出,未知程序禁止。360公司已經有同類的產品"360天眼",即企業全流量偵聽和未知威存倉捕獲產品,已經通過國家權威部門的測試,產品很快就會發佈。移動網絡安全成焦點隨著移動互聯網的普及,移動安全問題也成為此次大會的焦點之一。360首席科學家、北萊羅 納州大學蔣旭憲教授、360移動研究院高級研究員周亞金髮表了題為"定制Android操作系統的安全隱患",並在現場演示了黑客如何利用定制手機引發的漏洞,導致惡意程序任意偽造來自銀行的短信。這些銀行短信並非真實銀行所發,而是由惡意程序偽裝而來.且銀行短信內容及發送號碼可被任意控制的,也就是說,除銀行短信外。還可偽裝成親友號碼等更多的釣魚短信,使接受用戶喪失安全警惕,因此該類漏洞所出現的惡意程序具有非常大的迷惑性。結果顯示,當前手機廠商的定制會引入非常嚴重的安全漏洞。惡意軟件可利用這些漏洞來獲取系統權限,後台靜默安裝應用以及發送釣魚短信等等。同時,在分析的手機中,64%到85%的漏洞都是由於廠商的定制所造成的。不僅如此,同一廠商的安卓手機的漏洞並不一定會隨著新型號的發佈而減少。相反,新發佈的手機有可能比舊型號的手機有更多的漏洞。周亞金現場用一部紅米手機做了演示,利用紅米的—個漏洞,獲得了最高控制權限。幾秒鐘後,手機內的聯繫人、短信等各種信息。都被上傳到了後台。周亞金表示類似的情況在定制系統中廣泛存在,安卓手機的安全問題應該 得到大家的廣泛重視。360認為,在全新的互聯網安全形勢影響下,原有的網絡安全防護技術體系已基本失效,必須通過創新的方法:來迎接和應對這些新的挑戰。本屆ISC旨在為國內外關注互聯網安全的行業同仁,搭建一個最新的信息安全技術與解決方案的交流平台。此次互聯網安全大會還得到了網絡安全應急技術國家工程實驗室、災備技術國家工程實驗室、OWASP、Garmer等�多國內外知名機構的支持與深度參與。同時引入syscan360等專業安全前瞻性技術峰會。與會規模、專業度及影響力均開創了國內信息安全會議的最高先河。儲存

景區門票減價陽奉陰違
內地十一長假將至,self storage國家發改委前天宣布,長假期間全國約一千四百個景區將推門票優惠,包括著名景區山西五台山、福建武夷山及海南天涯海角,票價平均約減兩成。部分景區實質優惠有限,難抵近年加幅;湖南張家界武陵源景區更在長假後始推出優惠,批評減價做樣。發改委通報,湖北、廣東、海南、雲南及新疆五省內所有由政府指導或定價景區,需在十一長假推出票價優惠,山西省A級以上景區門票,需全年提供六至八折優惠。五台山、武夷山、天涯海角及廣東丹霞山等均在優惠之列。5A級和4A級景區數量不足一成,仍超越當局去年十一及今年五一黃金周發布的優惠名單。部分景區減價後仍抵不過近年加價的金額。四川峨嵋山長假迷你倉間以八折出售原價一百八十五元的門票,只是與三月加價前一百五十元門票一樣;雲南香格里拉普達措國家森林公園的優惠票價為二百零六元,較加價前的一百九十元票價貴十六元。遊客塗鴉可拘留十天張家界武陵源景區為免減價導致人潮蜂擁,將優惠時段押後至十月八日至十四日,票價由一百八十元減至一百四十四元。然而,景區內的黃石寨索道、天子山索道、百龍天梯及十里畫廊觀光電梯年初已加價,減幅難補貼景區內消費升幅。旅業人士指,新《旅遊法》下月實施,當局將進一步限制景點票價加幅,各景區須陸續轉型,不可單靠門票收益,要在其他配套獲利。新《旅遊法》亦針對遊客在名勝古蹟及文物上刻字等行為,最高可拘留五至十天。自存倉

去年,mini storage我們三支研究隊伍不約而同地對中國的國家資產負債表做了分析,有媒體還對我們三個成果做了一些比較。大家一起從事這個研究,就表明,中國已經到了非做這個研究不可的時候了。據我觀察,中國的經濟學研究者們不太重視數據,不太重視各種會計分析表和統計分析表,不太重視這些分析表中各科目的定義及其數據表現,不重視表與表之間複雜的關聯關係。這次危機,用非常極端的形式告訴我們,要注意這個事情,尤其要注意資產負債表。因為分析這個表,可以讓我們看到資產負債都是怎麼形成的,它們之間存在什麼關係,其中是不是有貨幣錯配、期限錯配、資本結構錯配和清償力缺失等等。最重要的是,它可以告訴我們一類經濟主體乃至整個國家的杠杆率如何,而杠杆率過高是這次危機的基本金融原因。所以,�多研究者都去做資產負債表研究分析,實在是水到渠成的事。 中國社科院金融研究所一直在從事資產負債表方面的研究,至今已經集聚了一支穩定的隊伍。新年份中國主權資產負債分析很快就會推出,大概到七八月份,我們就會公佈到2012年的各類數據。我圍繞中國資產負債表問題講三個情況: 第一,去年推出的三個關於資產負債表的研究,都是截止到2010年,即2000年到2010年,跨越整整10年。雖然數字不完全一致,但是總的結論是差不多的。就是說,截止到2010年底,中國的國家資產負債表是比較健康的,即使不是在世界上最好的,也是比較健康的。這是因為,中國經歷了長達這麼多年的高速增長,形成了很多資產,負債雖然也在增長,但相對來說微不足道。在公佈成果時我們就曾指出,中國的資產負債表並非沒有隱患,在負債面,主要問題是企業負債率過高,尤其是央企負債率太高。在資產這邊,可交易資產少一些,大量的資產與城市化有關,與土地有關,從而形成大量流動性不強的資產。資產方的這種狀況,可能產生的問題是:一旦負債方惡化,需要拿出資產來沖抵的時候,換言之,一旦形勢逼迫我們要平衡資產負債表的時候,有可能存在一個因資產不能變現、不能全額變現或不能及時變現,而導致流動性風險凸顯的問題。 第二,經過幾年的發展,中國資產負債表的狀況有點趨壞,如果不是惡化的話。趨壞的節點在2009年。現在看來,中國經濟幾乎所有的數字都是在2009年發生了一個不利的變化。比如M2對GDP的比率,自2004年始,直至2008年,該比率已經一改過去30年不斷上升的趨勢,轉頭向下,趨向健康了,2009年,為應對危機而採取劇烈的財政貨幣刺激措施,致使20個百分點上去了,然後就居高不下,重拾上升趨勢。其中最重要的因素包括:1.貨幣和信貸供給增加過多。現在我們在講別的國家QE問題,其實中國同樣存在,不過我們沒叫QE而已。2.企業負債繼續高�。3.地方政府債務更趨嚴重。以上幾個因素共同作用,就使得中國資產負債表的風險加大了。在公佈2010年中國國家資產負債表時,我們就指出:中國的國家的淨資產,寬口徑約60萬億元,最窄口徑也有20萬億元。當時我們也同時指出這20萬億元也禁不起折騰,現在這個賬還沒有完全算出來,是不是已經折騰得差不多了還不敢說,但是,有一條可以肯定,資產折騰起來快得很。貨幣政策量化寬鬆、企業負債率繼續高�、地方政府負債率趨高,是中國資產負債表狀況趨惡的幾個主要的因素。 第三,整個金融部門發生了結構性變化。中國的金融體系,過去我們說是間接融資為主,現在我建議大家不要再這樣刻畫我們的金融體系了。因為,經過多年發展,中國金融體系日趨複雜,大量的金融活動,說不清它是直接融資還是間接融資,如此積累下來,已經大大改變了我們金融體系的面貌。我們傾向于將目前中國的金融體系稱作為"銀行主導的高度複雜的金融體系"。之所以使用這個詞,是因為,近來,很多人在研究危機之前的美國問題時發現,那裡曾經歷過一個金融體系複雜化的過程。所謂金融體系複雜化,說簡單一點兒,就是大量的金融交易在金融機構之間進行,交易的對象是花樣翻新的金融產品,但是,交易中的資金很少下落至實體經濟。中國目前正同美國當年相仿。我們大量的金融交易發生在金融機構之間,致使我國的金融上層建築迅速膨脹,各種指標趨向惡化。在美國,其金融上層建築迅速膨脹,與房地產市場發生危機有關,與次貸密切相關;在中國,金融體系的複雜化,既有類似美國的因素,更有中國特有的因素,即金融管制近年來愈演愈烈,使得中國的金融體系被重重分割。在這種狀況下,一項正常的金融活動,通常需要若干個金融交易方能完成。換言之,由於金融管制重重疊疊,金融機構只好通過令人眼花繚亂的金融交易來實現本可很簡儲存地就實現的交易。社科院金融所的研究人員曾具體分析過商業銀行一筆房地產貸款,由於很難直接進行,大約需要多達5筆交易,這項貸款方才成立,當然,通過這些"套利""套制"活動,金融體系變得越來越難以讓人理解了。 上述三個問題的集中體現就是杠杆率在提高。我們的研究雖然尚未完成,但已經形成了一個總表。總杠杆率:2005年是150,2006年148,2007年147,2008年146, 2009年176,2010年184,2011年186,2012年194。從2005年開始,中國的杠杆率先落後升,這個趨勢值得警惕,背後的原因更值得探討。 第三,必須採取的措施,如果我們判斷中國這幾年的宏觀調控事實上類似西方國家的QE,如果斷定西方國家走出危機的措施主要是去杠杆化,那麼,我們恐怕要認識清楚,中國經濟要想避免危機的不利衝擊,避免曾採取過的不當措施產生的不良後果,我們恐怕也需要去杠杆化。就此而論,我覺得要點有四: 1.除非出現極端的情況,宏觀政策不宜採取刺激性動作。這樣做的目的,就是讓整個經濟運行、整個宏觀調控的結構,適應新的增長平台。這個意思很清楚,過去三十幾年,我國保持了平均高達9.8%的增長,現在,到了落在7%左右的新平台的時候了。現在市場上對此有諸多猜測,說是看一看政府在心理上可否接受7%、7.5%的增長率。我個人認為,我們應當而且可以接受這個新平台。當然,雖然說,7%、7.5%的增長率已經很高了,已足夠讓其他國家豔羨了,但是,由於它是從更高的點上落下來的,就會產生很多問題,比如,財政收入一下子降到了一位數,有幾個月甚至零增長、負增長,這就讓人一時難以接受和忍受。但是,為長遠計,我們必須接受、忍受、習慣這樣一個新的較過去低一些的新增長平台。這一點要強調,各方面要迅速地適應到這個新的平台。要集中解決的問題是,有好多在高增長下泥沙俱下魚龍混雜的時候不會出現的問題,現在都會出現,所有這些,都會在資產負債表上有相應的表現。但是我們必須挺住。 2.企業必須改革。從金融角度來說,企業的資本結構必須要有大的改革,國企改革確實需要有大的步伐。從金融角度來說,企業改革的重點在於減少負債,增加資本。中國企業負債率過高的問題,已經形成非常令人討厭的結果了。 3.妥善解決地方政府債務。中國地方政府債務肯定是問題,但是,我認為,不宜把它們當做純粹的債務來看待,因為,地方政府大量的事情和實際的投資活動連在一起,因此,為這些活動籌資的地方債務在相當程度上都有資產相對應。鑒於此,我們首先要做的是將地方債務及其對應的經濟活動做細緻的清理,做到橋歸橋路歸路,然後再看,真正需要償還的債務是多少,然後安排一些替換,或者是用正規的陽光債來替換灰色債。我們做過一些分析,很多地方債可以同相應的資產對應為一體,形成一個自洽的資產負債表,即成立一個新國企。如此,被包括在內的負債就無須償還,而是加強經營的問題。同時,還可以考慮將這樣的資產負債表賣給什麼人,或者採取證券化等等,總之,若分清地方債務的不同性質,解決問題的措施會很多。我以為,地方債被單純當債來處理肯定是有問題的,要解決這個問題,需要從經濟上對其進行分類。 4.金融體系的複雜化看起來是不可阻擋的趨勢。這是世界性趨勢。我們說,經過三十餘年的發展,中國的金融體系已經在很多方面成為世界第一了,不僅是規模,就是產品也可與他國相比,像影子銀行那麼複雜的金融交易,在我們這兒也都輕易地做到了。現在的問題是,要把這樣一種創造力引導到能夠支持實體經濟發展的道路上。在這裡,制度變革是第一重要的。要有一個好的制度,引導金融界進行好的創新。我覺得,主要還是要放鬆管制,如果我們判斷現在的事情都是因為管制的重重阻隔造成的,那麼,我們的任務就集中為拆去這些藩籬,大規模推行金融市場、金融體系的一體化。金融體系分割,在中國已經造成很多問題,有些問題具有根本性。比如利率,大家都談利率,談利率改革,但誰能說清楚什麼是中國現在的利率,哪個是中國的利率?在美國,利率是能說得清楚的。它那裡,有一個基準利率,然後,根據期限結構和風險結構的差別,各種利率形成一個結構,它們之間存在非常清晰的關聯關係。反觀中國,我們市場上的利率也不少了,但是,哪些利率是相互關聯的?利率之間相互決定關係如何?貨幣當局的政策如何影響利率走向?如此等等,都不十分清楚。這都是市場被分割造成的。所以,我覺得,推行利率和匯率市場化,打破市場間的分裂,可能會使得我們複雜的金融體系清晰化,使得它走向一個支持實體經濟發展的健康道路。迷你倉
搶陸客生意 亞洲各國卯足勁 去年海外消費上千億美元,年增4成,各國以免簽、蓋中國主題公園等方式攬客
中國大陸遊客到海外旅遊的人數與消費力愈來愈受到各國重視,self storage臨近的亞洲國家與地區更為了吸引陸客花盡心思,希望抓住去年陸客海外消費1,000億美元的商機,連澳洲都大手筆為陸客打造中國主題公園。日本經濟新聞報導,據聯合國世界旅遊組織公布的數據顯示,2012年前往海外旅遊的大陸客達到8,300萬人,比2011年勁增20%。而受中國信用卡(銀聯卡)普及的推動,陸客在海外的花費也年增40%,超過了1,000億美元(約合6,324億元人民幣)。據推測,2020年大陸每年海外旅遊的人數將會達到2億人次,亞洲各國政府正努力爭奪這塊市場商機。例如,韓國為大陸觀光客推出了多項優惠政策,像是不斷放寬對大陸民眾的簽證限制,現在經停仁川或金浦機場前往濟州島的旅客,可以免簽停留首爾或仁川不超過72個小時。泰國方面,今年1-7月份訪泰的陸客年增90%,達到272萬人次。預計2015年泰國全年的旅遊收入將比今年(估計值)增加20%,達到約4,250億元人mini storage幣商機,主要消費者仍然是大陸遊客。在此基礎上,泰國政府計畫向陸客提供免簽待遇,年內還將在廣州設立第5處泰國旅遊推廣機構。就連與大陸關係最差的日本也不甘示弱,據日本國家旅遊局(JNTO)統計,8月份陸客年減15%,凈減16萬人次,這是連續第11個月減少。中日關係的惡化讓大量消費力高的陸客流失。為了拉回陸客,日前日本長崎縣度假勝地豪斯登堡決定「透過整合海外的據點來增加中國遊客人數」,7月份,豪斯登堡透過在台北開設的營業機構向中國旅行社進行宣傳;日本新潟縣也邀請中國旅行界10個重量級人士,邀請他們為新潟規劃陸客喜歡的行程。亞太市場方面,則以澳洲招攬陸客手法最賣力。去年到訪澳洲的大陸遊客僅62萬人,但是人均消費卻高達22,760元人民幣。為留住這龐大消費力,澳洲地方政府與澳洲中國主題公園公司(ACTP)合作,從2015年開始建造一座中國主題公園,計畫2020年完工。此外,明年起澳州將啟動吸引陸客的「GOODY CHINA」計畫。迷你倉
馬來西亞
(柔佛 麻坡27日訊)麻坡達摩禪院旁的休閒處,迷你倉以及位於廟後方的2間儲藏室,今日清晨失火。由於兩處火患地點有一段的距離,因此疑是遭人縱火。這宗火患於今日清晨約5時30分,發生在麻坡金枝路的達摩禪院,受火患波及的地點是主殿旁的開放式休閒處,以及在廟後方的2間儲藏室。麻坡消拯局接獲民眾投報後,共派出了2輛消防車,出動10名消拯人員前往該院展開灌救工作。參與灌救的消拯人員受詢時指出,起初趕抵現場只發現前段開放式休閑處失火,灌救過程中聽聞後端傳來"吱吱"聲響,才發現後端的儲藏室也失火,即刻分批灌救。陳文送:有關電源不解失火肇因該院總務陳文送受訪時指出,他是於清晨6時接獲鄰近居民的來電通知,趕抵現場後發現後方一排共4間的單位,其中2間儲藏室被燒毀;此外,主殿旁的開放式休閒處也遭殃。他表示,該院每日開放時間為早上8時至下午5時,昨晚約8至10時許,還有7、8名理事在該休閑處喝茶聊天,之後各自回家。"該院每晚都會關閉電源,只留主殿前的兩盞燈式紅燈籠,因此不解失火的肇因。"許國泰:2失火地點距離遙遠麻坡達摩禪院主席許國泰受詢時表示,這是該院1988年自存倉立至今首次遭遇火患,他是於6時許接獲通知才趕到現場,從火患發生的兩處地點來看,兩處之間距離遙遠,疑是遭人蓄意縱火。他指出,該院佔地近2英格,他於建廟初期堅持將主殿與儲藏室的建築結構分開,就是為了預防火患殃及其他建築物,因而此次的失火肇因讓人心生懷疑。休閑處沒易燃物品"開放式休閑處只放置桌子和茶水器具,沒有任何易燃物品,從該處火患後留下的跡象來看,火勢相當猛烈,才會造成主殿內的天花板也被燻黑。"他說,被燒毀的物品雖不貴重,惟電流需要重新連接,而儲藏室的屋頂也被燒毀,初步估計損失約6萬令吉。他已於事後前往警局報案,同時希望警方能儘快破案。馮金泉:獅隊器材道具燒毀達摩禪院獅友馮金泉指出,被燒毀的儲藏室存有該獅隊的器材、道具、演出服裝都毀於一旦,感概老天告訴他是時候"金盆洗手"了。他表示,由於啟智會堂沒有足夠的儲存空間,因而他於10多年前開始就將獅頭放在該院儲藏室,孰料一場大火將7個獅頭一併燒毀,其中3個是嶄新獅頭,就連舞獅隊的鼓也燒得只剩下鐵架,令他心灰意冷。他說,以往每年新春佳節期間都會練獅與進行簡單教學班,依目前的情況來看只能被迫取消。;mini storage

有1000個人就有1000種旅行的藝術
信息來源於四川新聞網 / Cited from .newssc.org/旅行,儲存倉可能是這兩天大家談論最多的話題,國慶七天大假就在眼前。當然,哪一個節假日我們沒有考慮過旅遊的話題呢?自從開闢"黃金周"以來的這些年裡,長假游變得讓人難以忍受:到處人山人海,各種價格暴漲,匆匆一游除了拍幾張相片外,似乎再也沒有什麼收穫了。只能說,大部分人還不會旅行。曾與索羅斯創立量子基金的吉姆·羅傑斯說:旅行,是人生最有價值的投資。英國才子阿蘭·德波頓認為:旅行時真正珍貴的東西是所思和所見,而不是走得多快。戶外愛好者李松濤則強調:我們需要學會做一次負責任的旅行。成都商報記者 蔣慶1億萬富豪的環球旅行一邊玩一邊考察投資吉姆·羅傑斯賺到錢的時候,老婆卻要跟他離婚,那是他早年用12年時間把600美元變成數百萬美元的傳奇時刻,他的眼裡只有錢。"當我可以把一筆錢投入市場運轉的時候,我是看不到家里對新沙發的需要的。"直到今天,他依然認為,一個年輕人節省下的每一塊錢,投資有方的話,將會在日後20倍地回報他。錢賺夠了的時候,在他37歲的時候,羅傑斯想去嘗試另一種生活了,他要去"實地考察"這個世界,看清它的真面目。他說,"我想經歷一次長長的旅行,長到可以把我的過去遠遠地拋在腦後,換個活法,尋求一個人生分水嶺,給我今後的生活劃下一個嶄新的界定。"做什麼呢?當然是環球旅行,這是人類最普遍的夢想,羅傑斯就這麼幹了,而且是兩次,一次騎著摩托車,一次開著越野車。羅傑斯更喜歡騎摩托,"騎行能使你以一種開車無法體驗到的方式欣賞風景,呼吸鄉村氣息。你將融入自然之中,成為它的一部分,觸摸它、欣賞它、品味它、聆聽它,享受徹底的自由放鬆。如果你以騎摩托車的方式旅行,旅行本身就是目的。"但是,如此愛錢的羅傑斯,旅行本身還真不是唯一目的。或許,他只是下意識吧———旅行同時,他也一直用商業眼光判斷自己經過的某個地區未來的發展潛力。假如他看到了潛力,就會在這個地區多考察幾天,然後通知他的經紀人購買當地的股票,賭一賭自己在這個地區的投資,是否可以讓自己在未來獲得豐厚的回報。所以說,你是什麼樣的人,也就決定了你旅行的方式。羅傑斯在冰島旅行時,發現這裡的戶外天然溫泉池隨處可見,電價也超便宜。他泡溫泉的時候意識到:中東的石油能源總有一天會枯竭,但冰島卻擁有�多間歇泉、天然蒸汽田和溫泉,貯藏了大量取之不竭的可再生能源———這一切只需初期的開發和管理投資,此後便幾乎是免費的了。在十多年前,羅傑斯就在冰島發現了這個國家正在經歷變革。"年輕人隨處可見,大街小巷、酒吧和餐館都擠滿了小孩。超過一半的冰島人口處於30歲以下。就人口結構而言,冰島是世界上最年輕的4個國家之一,而單是這一點就將在這個被孤立了幾個世紀的國家引發最為引人注目的政治變革。"羅傑斯也注意到:有著數百年丹麥殖民地經歷的冰島,讓小學生把丹麥語作為必修的第二語言,而全球僅有約700萬人講丹麥語,"在當今世界,這樣做很難形成競爭優勢,強制兒童學習這門語言顯然阻礙了冰島的進步。可以想見,他們的下一代不會再學丹麥語,而是會學英語、西班牙語、中國普通話或粵語。"對抗變革的人就是在對抗必然性本身。這是羅傑斯在旅行中的思考,"想想歷史上所有那些偉大的城市和偉大的文明。一旦將自己同世界隔絕開來、違抗歷史潮流,便無法保護你免遭這些消逝文明的命運。"1962年,緬甸曾是亞洲最富裕的國家。但軍政府下令:緬甸不需要世界其他國家,緬甸將實行閉關鎖國政策。自那以後,緬甸的各行各業都開始一蹶不振。1957年,加納成為了大英帝國中最富裕的國家,超越了英國本土。該國獲得獨立後,民族解放領袖恩克魯瑪立即關起了門戶,7年後,該國宣告破產。羅傑斯把這些歷史與他對現實的觀察,一併寫進書里。在他走過的116個國家里,羅傑斯也對中國青睞有加。他曾三次驅車環游中國,看到了中國的勃勃生機,並且愛上了這個國度。1999年,羅傑斯走進上海證券交易所,開了B股賬戶,並且購買了大量股票。後來,他獲得了超過500%的收益。"如果我從環球旅行中學到一件事,那麼,它就是:某些國家曾變得富有,於是趾高氣揚迷你倉最平幾年、幾十年甚至幾個世紀,但一切都會結束。然而,即使所有財富灰飛煙滅,生活仍然繼續。更重要的一點是,如果你有一個夢想,你必須嘗試,你必須走出常規生活去實現,因為你將永遠不會有第二次機會。"2英國才子的文藝之旅走到哪裡都有大師相伴作為歐洲知名的才子作家,阿蘭·德波頓通曉英、法、德、西班牙、拉丁數種語言,他喜歡旅遊、購物和談情說愛。他的《旅行的藝術》,結合福樓拜、波德萊爾等文學家的創作,參照凡高等畫家的作品,把旅行這個本身近乎陳詞濫調的題材寫得異常生動。德波頓提醒我們關注想象的旅行和現實的旅行之間落差。旅程的終點可能激蕩人心,但行走在通往終點的旅途中,可能遭遇各種意想不到的意外和麻煩,這些意外和麻煩會不斷吞噬我們的耐心和激情,最終影響看風景的心情。所以,德波頓用一種非常特別的的方式去旅行,行程中不僅有巴巴多斯、西奈的沙漠、馬德里等風格迥異的怡人風景,同時還有他為讀者安排的�多的名作家、藝術家、思想家及深諳旅行滋味的行家作為"導遊"。在他們的陪伴下,風景之旅成了更完美的文化之旅、心路之旅。比如法國作家福樓拜的旅行經歷。福樓拜還是十幾歲孩子的時候,最大的夢想便是離開故鄉里昂,去遙遠的東方。他對所謂法國的"優秀文明"只有蔑視,他在給朋友的信中表示,盡管這個文明已經製造出了"鐵路、監獄、奶油餡餅、忠誠和斷頭台,並以此為傲",他的生活依然"徒勞乏味,毫無新意,並充滿艱辛"。終其一生,福樓拜都摯愛著古老的埃及。德波頓的作品,更注重旅行時的心靈,"旅行能催人思索。很少地方比在行進中的飛機、輪船和火車上更容易讓人傾聽到內心的聲音。我們眼前的景觀同我們腦子里可能產生的想法之間存在著某種奇妙的關聯:宏闊的思考常常需要有壯闊的景觀,而新的觀點往往也產生于陌生的所在。在流動景觀的刺激下,那些原本容易停頓的內心求索可以不斷深入……旅行,或者那種漫無目的的漂泊的過程,其價值在於它們能讓我們體驗情感上的巨大改變。"必須承認,旅行時真正珍貴的東西是所思和所見,而不是走得多快、去了多少地方。3登山愛好者的樸素之旅把自己徹底融入當地環境李松濤是國內知名的旅行和登山愛好者,作為一個四川人,盡管從小生活在有山有水的地方,但他仍然想走出內心的"盆地",想知道"山外面的樣子"。2005年的時候,獲得一家戶外品牌2萬多元旅費贊助和全套戶外裝備的李松濤,將自己的人生與戶外旅行緊密綑綁在一起。這幾年下來,他旅行的足跡遍及國內的各大名山大川,還曾到過印度、尼泊爾、巴基斯坦以及非洲等地,並在最近推出了系列畫冊《從喜馬拉雅到喀拉昆侖———1300張照片和旅行的故事》。在旅行中,李松濤深刻瞭解到:中國人現在的旅行出了哪些問題———我們不想重蹈別人的覆轍,但又沒有勇氣另辟蹊徑;想體驗傳統文化,但又不願意放棄已經習慣的舒適。當我們看到傳統村莊的住房、交通和衣著都趨於現代化的時候,通常會感到失望,但這一切每時每刻都發生在我們自己的文化中,我們卻從未產生過質疑;當很多人在旅行之後感嘆"當地人變了"的時候,我們很少反思自己作為一個旅行者應該對此承擔的責任。因此,李松濤提倡要做"負責任的旅行",最基本的方法就是摒棄在現代城市裡養成的盲目自大的優越感,樸素而低調地上路。首先,學習穿著裝扮像個當地人,然後是行為舉止,再後是思考和行事的方式,把自己的一切都融入到當地的社會和文化之中,學習做一名悄無聲息的旅行者。李松濤在旅行中也看到,即使是那些在偏僻的鄉村和山野里游蕩的驢友,他們紅紅綠綠的服裝和背包、高聲大氣的外來口音和奢侈浮糜的消費方式,無一不在對當地產生影響。"真正的淳樸和風度需要積累和沉澱,商業社會對人的改變是巨大的,一名負責任的旅行者,要做的是如何讓他們儘量減少這種影響的負面效應。"做一次負責任的旅行,還有其他方面的注意,比如文化尊重,減少對他人的影響;公平交易,合乎道德的購物;環境保護,重建人與自然的和諧;有意義地旅行,加入志願者工作,等等。李松濤在國內不少地方舉辦了"負責任的旅行"講座,他認為這實際上也是一種生活方式。但是,在國人快節奏的生活狀態中,這種負責任的旅行,還有很長的路要走。儲存
