湖北日報訊 新華社記者梁相斌 唐衛彬 李鵬翔隨著東風公司與法國雷諾合資“聯姻”正式落戶武漢,迷你倉目前來鄂投資的世界500強企業已達115家。湖北省正在謀求搶抓機遇,“競進提質、升級增效”。轉變今年10月,湖北省委十屆三次全會出台相關決定,提出努力建設成為中部地區崛起重要戰略支點,爭取在轉變經濟發展方式上走在全國前列。湖北省委書記李鴻忠說:“‘建成支點、走在前列’是黨中央對湖北發展的新定位、新要求,明確了湖北在中國經濟升級版中的戰略定位和全局使命。”如何使湖北的經濟更好、結構更優、質量更高、後勁更足、實力更強?湖北決策層經過思考提出:注重運用當前經濟增速放緩形成的倒逼機制,做好轉化方式的“加減乘除法”。“加法”。堅持走新型工業化道路,發展高端製造業、戰略性新興產業。一批“武”字頭老企業轉型升級。武漢重型機床集團公司生產的重型機床設備,幾乎全是國內首台首套。“減法”。關停落後產能,為先進的產能讓渡出環境容量、市場空間。今年全省淘汰落後產能涉及41家企業,估算折合工業總產值138億元。“乘法”。發揮科技創新的乘數效應,變科技潛力為現實生產力。今年前9個月,湖北完成高新技術產業增加值2383.2億元。“除法”。堅持生態立省,狠抓“兩型”社會建設和節能減排。武漢城市礦產循環產業園總投資12億元,一年要“吃掉”廢棄物51.5萬噸,輻射湘贛鄂皖4省。湖北省省長王國生說,要有一種“坐不住、等不起”的緊迫感,快調快轉,真調實轉。否則,“建成支點、走在前列”就會成為一句空話。創新“牽牛要牽牛鼻子”。湖北把“實現創新驅動發展、加快長江經濟帶開放開發、保障和改善民生、推進綠色發展”作為戰略重點全力推進。“到了創新2.0時代,是政府以企業為中心、企業以用戶為中心的服務型社會。”享受“零費用”優惠政策、從美國回到武漢創業的葉毅深深感受到,政府在創新2.0時代所付出的努力,而他的公司有助于彌補中國在風電功率曲線測self storage和風電場後評估技術上的空白。湖北省委主要領導堅持每月到武漢東湖高新區現場辦公,推出促進科技成果轉化的“黃金十條”,打造“人才特區”“資本特區”。今年,這裡高新技術產業已達5380億元,增長18%。據瞭解,有關部門已著手制定“依托長江建設中國經濟新支撐帶指導意見”,長江經濟帶開放開發正在成為我國區域發展新的戰略重心。長江湖北段占幹流長度1╱3以上。近年,湖北已與湘贛皖合作探索建立多層次的區域合作協調機制,積極建設長江中游城市集群,努力打造長江經濟帶的“鐵肩”。深化改革要從人民群�最期盼的地方做起,從制約科學發展最突出的問題改起。李鴻忠說,湖北絕對不會單純以GDP作為衡量領導幹部水平能力的標準。要突出民生GDP,強化綠色GDP理念,要念好“衣食住行、業教保醫”民生八字經,也要大力發展綠色經濟,實現經濟水平與生態環境互促共贏、協同發展。格局“建成支點、走在前列”,已經成為湖北“一元多層次”戰略體系的“一元”,亮起旗幟。而“一主兩副”“兩圈兩帶”“一紅一綠”“壯腰工程”等戰略猶如全局中的核心棋子,一步步落子到位,激活區域經濟活力。高鐵時代的到來,讓武漢具備更強的輻射力。武漢正在制訂2049年遠景發展規劃,全面加快建設國家中心城市,“復興大武漢”的夢想不再遙遠。湖北省社科院中部發展研究所所長陽小華說,由武漢、宜昌、襄陽構成的“一主兩副”城市集群是湖北增長極的核心。今年,預計武漢生產總值將突破8700億元,宜昌、襄陽將突破2700億元。“三點支撐”“三核驅動”的區域經濟發展格局初見成效。南水北調中線工程送水在即。湖北又提出,在保障水源優質的前提下加快漢江生態經濟帶的發展。目前,由丹江口、老河口、穀城三地抱團組建的“紅河谷”城市組群,正以交通、旅遊合作先行,探索漢江經濟協同發展。多點支撐、多極帶動、競相發展,“共謀發展”的精氣神正在新的戰略平台凝聚,必將匯成一幅百舸爭流、昂揚激越的荊楚發展勝景。迷利倉

Goodwill has an online auction site
Source: Billings Gazette, Mont.迷你倉將軍澳Dec. 27--Cindy Butler is a treasure hunter.She combs second-hand stores, auctions and estate sales looking for nativity scenes, antiques, props for plays, diamond rings, chess sets and walls full of art to give to friends, family or to keep for herself."I could tell you what I don't collect, before I could tell you what I do collect," she said.In the late 1990s, while bidding on a collectible at Goodwill, an employee told her about shopgoodwill.com, an online auction website launched by Goodwill Industries International.It didn't take long before she was hooked."I probably was one of their first clients," she said. "As soon as they went live, I was buying stuff."Butler isn't exactly sure how many items she's bought on the site, but she says it's probably more than 700.The website is an online auction site that lists donated items that may not sell at the local store they arrived at, or could command a higher price online.The website originated at the Orange County California Goodwill store in 1999, said Challe Feist, community relations officer for Easter Seals Goodwill stores."On average, there's more than 80,000 items posted at a time," she said. "Over 70,000 people visit it every day."Since its inception, the website has made more than $229 mill迷你倉尖沙咀on for the 95 stores that list items.The Easter Seals Goodwill in Billings sells about 700 items a month on shopgoodwill.com."We have a high sell-rate," said Suann Wright, shopgoodwill.com supervisor, for the Easter Seals Goodwill store in Billings.About 80 to 90 percent of the items they put up on the site get sold, she said.When employees sort through donations, they keep a lookout for items to sell on the site, she said."We look for stuff that's different and stands out," Wright said.Each store chooses items they think would sell for a little more, if they were put in front of a larger audience."Vintage clothing is a hot selling item, and so is leather," she said.After selecting items and certifying the item's authenticity, the piece is photographed and then posted on the website."We're always learning new things every day, because we have to verify the items," she said.If a purchaser lives locally, they are able to pick up items at the store, but most are shipped.Many purchasers live on the East Coast and in California."What really sells the best, is more western," she said. "They love Montana stuff."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 Billings Gazette (Billings, Mont.) Visit the Billings Gazette (Billings, Mont.) at .billingsgazette.com Distributed by MCT Information Services倉

Area productions light up 2013 box office, local impact uncertain
Source: Star-News, Wilmington, N.存倉C.Dec. 27--Last year, the local film industry experienced a renaissance. Shaking off the dust of years of small-budget and made-for-TV movies and repeat television business, the industry ushered in the production of four major feature films -- "Iron Man 3," "Safe Haven," "The Conjuring" and "We're the Millers" -- that revitalized the cinematic reputation of the region and contributed greatly to the $278 million spent by the film industry in 2012 in the state."Before these films, it had been a while since we had a big feature that people really knew about to come out of Wilmington. We were sort of becoming known as a TV town," said Johnny Griffin, director of the Wilmington Film Commission.This year, all four films burst onto the big screen, making headlines for setting the box office ablaze and pulling in more than $1.8 billion worldwide. But for the local film industry, which in no way benefits from the financial success of the films, what does it mean to have four blockbusters under its belt moving into 2014?Bill Vassar, executive vice president for EUE/Screen Gems Studios, for one, believes that success draws attention."I've always felt that people in the entertainment business have a slight bit of superstition. They see successes somewhere and they want to be associated with it," Vassar said. "We have the infrastructure, the crew, the studio and the equipment here, and having four successful films, let alone in one year, is confirmation of that. It speaks for itself."Griffin, who travels to Los Angeles during the first quarter of each year to promote the local industry to potential projects, said that successes like "Iron Man 3" and "The Conjuring" give him and his colleagues something to talk about when competing with other production facilities."The first thing people ask us is, 'What's happening in Wilmington? What is shooting there now?' When you can start to rattle off a whole list of films that people know, it gives them something to remember. It keeps the excitement growing," Griffin said.But since the last of the four films finished production late last year, only two notable features have shot in the area -- "Tammy," a road trip movie starring Melissa McCarthy and Susan Sarandon, and "The Squeeze," an independent golf comedy. But Griffin said that "a lull isn't a bad thing," and the industry has had several TV shows to fill the void, including "Under the Dome" and "Sleepy Hollow."When it comes to attracting new projects, Aaron Syrett, director of the North Carolina Film Office, said rel儲存tionships with studios and companies that Wilmington and the state have cultivated during past productions can be beneficial."From a business aspect, studios see that we can handle projects like 'Iron Man 3' and 'We're the Millers' and that has provided repeat business from them. Crew members and studios are remembering North Carolina and why they came here in the '80s and '90s in the first place," he said.New Line Cinemas is a good example, Syrett said. After the studio found success with producing the adventure film "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" in 2011 in Wilmington, it opted to return the next year to produce "The Conjuring" and "We're the Millers."Now, the industry is focused on next year, the final year under the state's current incentive program, which gives qualifying productions a 25 percent tax credit on money spent in the state. With the livelihood of the industry directly linked to the incentive, which expires at the end of 2014, all eyes are on the state legislature, which will decide next year whether to keep the incentive, alter it or let it disappear altogether.As of now, there are no films confirmed to shoot in the region in 2014. But despite those looming vacancies, Griffin and Vassar, who are in constant contact with potential projects, are both optimistic the industry is headed for a busy new year."I was just walking around the lot today trying to determine where we are going to put everyone if we are as full as I expect," Vassar said.Hunter Ingram: 343-2327On Twitter: @WilmonFilmBOX OFFICE REVENUE BOX"Safe Haven" (Feb. 14)Budget: $28 millionDomestic: $71 millionFun fact: It is the third high-grossing Nicholas Sparks movie, behind "The Notebook" and "Dear John.""Iron Man 3" (May 3)Budget: $200 millionDomestic: $409 millionWorldwide: $1.2 billionFun fact: The film's opening weekend haul of $174 million is the second highest-grossing weekend of all time, behind only "The Avengers.""The Conjuring" (July 19)Budget: $20 millionDomestic: $137 millionWorldwide: $316 millionFun fact: The film is the highest-grossing supernatural horror film since 1999's "The Sixth Sense," which earned $293 million."We're the Millers" (Aug. 7)Budget: $37 millionDomestic: $150 millionWorldwide: $269 millionFun fact: The film is the second biggest road trip movie behind "Wild Hogs," which grossed $168 million in 2007.Totals:Domestic: $767 millionWorldwide: $1.856 billionCopyright: ___ (c)2013 the Star-News (Wilmington, N.C.)

火車站 “購票長龍” 有望成歷史
本報記者 齊 慧12月28日,迷你倉 春運火車票正式開售。為讓旅客更從容地安排行程, 今年的車票預售期提前,臨客提前25天開售, 互聯網和電話訂票預售期為20天。同時, 新列車運行圖將實施, 新運力的增加有望緩解春運壓力——又到一年春運時。今年春運購票究竟有何新渠道?車票能否比往年好買一些?記者走訪了相關鐵路部門並親身體驗了各種買票方式。手機能買票 網絡上新版受制于無線網速, 在高峰時段通過手機客戶端買票的效果可能不太理想, 網絡售票今年仍將扮演購票主力渠道的角色。目前,擴容後的新版12306網站已經上線手機購票是今年春運前新推出的購票方式。12月8日, 鐵路部門官方手機購票客戶端 “鐵路12306” 上線試運行, 免費供旅客下載使用。使用安卓系統手機的用戶可直接從.12306.cn網站下載, 使用蘋果系統手機用戶可從蘋果應用商店 “APP STORE” 下載。為了體驗軟件好不好用, 記者特意下載一個進行嘗試。鐵路手機客戶端名為 “鐵路12306”, 應用圖標為藍白底色, 上方為紅色的中國鐵路路徽, 路徽下方標有 “中國鐵路” 字樣。打開軟件就會出現車票預定的頁面, 查詢到需要的車次後, 用12306網站的用戶名和密碼即可登錄。手機系統與電腦系統相通, 日常常用聯繫人都會出現在手機中, 不用重新輸入。按照提示操作, 很快就可以到支付頁面, 除有工商銀行、 農業銀行等網銀支付外, 還可用中國銀聯、 支付寶等工具支付。記者體驗後發現, 客戶端的設計比較簡潔易懂, 反應速度還不錯, 流程也比較簡易。但是到了春運購票高峰時還能不能這麼順利流暢呢?中國鐵道科學研究院客票系統監控中心副研究員王明哲坦言, 在非高峰時期, 以及旅客外出時行程臨時變更的情況下, 手機客戶端在改簽與退票上能夠表現出較強的優勢。但由於手機客戶端訂票本身受到無線網網速的制約, 旅客在高峰時段通過手機客戶端買票的體驗可能會不太理想。因此, 在去年春運期間表現良好的網絡售票, 今年仍將扮演購票主力渠道的角色。據瞭解, 在春運前夕, 鐵路部門已經對網站進行了適度擴容和優化, 並于12月6日正式推出新版12306網站。與舊版相比, 新版網站多了不少便民新亮點; 首先, 頁面有效信息更豐富了。例如旅客在查詢車次信息時, 頁面會同時顯示余票和票價信息, 方便旅客比較選擇。其次,新網站新增了 “刷票” 功能, 在車票預訂頻道中, 只要點擊頁面右上方的 “開�自動查詢”, 系統可以每5秒鐘查詢一次。為節省時間, 旅客還可選擇 “自動提交”, 屆時只要查到符合條件的車票, 系統將自動提交訂單。“我們還優化了頁面布局, 儘量減少鼠標拖動的距離和點擊的次數, 進一步完善用戶體驗。” 王明哲說。為了避免大量旅客在互聯網上排隊, 今年網絡買票依舊實行一天10個放票點, 並且在頁面上顯示將會在幾點放票, 方便旅客購票, 也減少了對網絡瞬間點擊率的壓力。此外, 12306網站從11月30日起正式開通支付寶購票服務。乘客用支付寶網購火車票,無需支付任何手續費。外來務工人員及學生購票更便捷為保證外來務工人員及時返鄉, 今年將重點做好提前發售和降低門檻兩項工作; 學生可集中辦理團體往返票, 票機進校園工作也已�動外來務工人員和學生一直都是春運的 “主力軍”。往年, 鐵路部門想了很多辦法, 為這兩個群體買票提供方便,如電話訂票, 團體訂票等。今年, 又推出了提前發售、 降低門檻、 售票機進校園等新舉措。“為保證外來自存倉工人員及時返鄉, 今年會重點做好兩件事, 一是提前發售, 二是降低門檻。” 中國鐵路總公司相關負責人表示。“提前發售”, 就是在所有春運售票工作中最先安排發售務工人員團體票。2013年12月8日, 這項工作就已�動。鐵路部門將把春運期間所有加開臨客的票額, 全部優先用于務工人員辦理團體往返票。“降低門檻”, 就是除了用工企業可以有組織地為務工人員辦理團體票之外, 所有務工人員只要湊夠5人, 都可以自行組團辦理務工人員團體票。“這種辦法非常靈活。務工人員只需明確1名經辦人, 由他帶著二代身份證原件到辦理站專口提交購票需求, 然後等待短信通知, 憑乘車人二代身份證原件到任意窗口支付取票即可。” 這位負責 人表示。相比而言, 由於學生購票基本都由學校集中組織, 所以處理難度較低。為保證每個學生都能買到回家的車票, 2014年春運,鐵路部門採取了多項措施。據介紹, 2013年12月10日至19日, 將集中辦理2014年1月10日至2月24日期間的學生團體往返票。哈爾濱、 沈陽、 北京、 呼和浩特、 西安、 成都、 昆明鐵路局和廣鐵集團等8個鐵路局, 通過互聯網集中辦理學生團體往返票。太原、 鄭州、 武漢、 濟南、 上海、 南昌、 南寧、 蘭州、 烏魯木齊鐵路局和青藏鐵路公司等10個鐵路局, 在有始發列車和硬座票額的車站設立專口, 集中辦理學生團體往返票。在集中辦理時間結束後, 自2013年12月20日起, 互聯網、 電話訂票、 車站窗口、 代售點等將同步發售2014年2月24日前的學生票。此外, 為了方便學生購票、 取票, 今年鐵路部門將在自動售 (取) 票機上提供售 (取) 學生票服務。具體來說包括兩個方面, 一是車站設置的自動售 (取) 票機均增加售 (取)學生票功能; 二是在部分規模較大的院校, 經學校同意後,逐步設置自動售 (取) 票機, 方便學生購 (取) 票。新列車運行圖實施新列車運行圖28日零時起實施。增開部分長距離跨線動車組列車、 一批新鐵路年底集中通車運營、 高鐵作用得到進一步發揮是此次調圖的亮點12月28日零時起, 中國鐵路總公司實施新的列車運行圖。增開部分長距離跨線動車組列車, 是此次調圖的一大亮點。此次調圖不僅新增了哈爾濱西、 長春、 沈陽北至上海虹橋、 寧波、 青島北、 濟南西間的動車組列車, 還新增了北京西至桂林, 青島、 濟南至廣州南等動車組列車, 減少了旅客的中轉。同時, 今年年底一批新鐵路通車運營, 為春運增加了新運力。方案顯示, 全國鐵路增開客車75對, 經過此次調圖, 全國鐵路開行的旅客列車將達到2369對。據中國鐵路總公司相關負責人介紹, 進一步發揮高鐵作用是此次調圖的另一大亮點——調整了京滬、 寧杭、 杭甬、 合蚌和京廣、 鄭西高鐵、 石太客專旅客列車對數。根據旅客出行需求, 高鐵繼續實行日常、 周末和高峰運行圖。高峰期運行圖對應春運、 暑運、 黃金周、 小長假等時段, 周末運行圖對應周五至周日時段; 日常運行圖對應周一至周四時段。同時, 也對既有線普速客車運行圖進行了優化調整。“調圖為春運提供了運力保障。” 中國鐵路總公司副總經理胡亞東表示, 今年以來, 一批新線陸續建成投產, 運輸能力實現新增長, 但總體上仍難以滿足春運高峰客流需求。但鐵路部門全力挖潛運能, 節前安排開行旅客列車2667對, 同比增加157對; 節後安排開行2677對, 同比增加139對, 努力滿足旅客特別是重點地區旅客的出行需求。迷你倉

H按搶客 轉按貸款急增
11月份新批按揭金額按月減少2.1%,迷你倉惟轉按貸款逆市增加10.8%,至31億元。市場人士相信,低息高樓價環境持續之下,銀行爭相推出較幾年前吸引的H按計畫,令轉按個案增加。 新批樓按減2.1% 金管局昨公布,11月份新批按揭金額較10月份減少2.1%,至146億元。當中,一手市場貸款減少2.3%,至35億元;二手市場貸款減少6.2%,至80億元。然而,涉及轉按貸款卻逆市增加10.8%,至31億元。 另外,新批按揭貸款中,以最優惠利率作為定價參考的P按所佔比例,由10月的71.7%下降至11月的67.1%;以香港銀行同業拆息作為定價參考的H按所佔比例,則由10月的26.3%上升至11月份的30.5%。 中原按揭經紀董事總經理王美鳳解釋,客文件倉把握低息及樓價高位之時機轉按;同時,由於2011年H按息率曾高達H+3厘,期間銀行亦曾調高P按息,有用家在罰息期後陸續提出轉按,亦帶動轉按增加。拆息升料削H按吸引力 王美鳳續指,第4季先後有中小型銀行調低H按的鎖息上限息率,息率更低至與P按息一致,令H按選用比例增加。不過,若大型銀行未來不跟隨做法,隨�明年美國啟動退市,市場預期拆息回升機會增加,將削弱用家選用H按意欲。因此明年P按主流地位預料維持不變。 經絡按揭首席經濟分析師劉圓圓則指出,美國退市步伐溫和,預期明年上半年仍未見加息壓力。當明年新盤上會潮出現,銀行有機會加大力度推廣較具競爭力的H按計畫,吸引業主鎖定低息尾班車,因此加息周期重臨前,H按計畫使用比例有望進一步上升,甚至與P按計畫平分春色。存倉

要想清楚為什麼創業
9GAG是香港近年少有的成功創業個案,迷你倉將軍澳但與眾多創業人一樣,陳展程的創業之路並不平坦。對於種種挫折,陳展程認為,創業人應具備「既自大、又謙虛」的雙重性格;另一方面,對於近年不少創業人蜂擁尋求天使投資,陳展程認為,創業人要想清楚「為何要 seek funding (尋找資金)」。一邊要自大一邊應謙虛在記者面前,不少天使投資者及創業人均給予陳展程及9GAG極高評價,但陳展程坦言,9GAG創立首三年,網站點擊率一直維持低水平,及後才緩慢上升。「今天的我看似風光,但折墮時你卻不知罷了!」面對挫折,陳展程認為創業人要拿穩宗旨,才能承受自我懷疑的日子:「創業人一邊既要自大,另一邊亦應抱謙虛的態度;願意接受市場的洗禮之餘,亦要堅信自己的理念正確,才能在低潮中承受被批評的日子。」 陳展程大學修讀法律,曾任職銀行及電視台擔任新聞主播。看似做過多份「筍工」的他,又為何要踏上創業之路,承受創業人的起伏?陳展程說,雖然自己擁有大學法律學位,但經歷銀行工作後,發現自己並不喜歡困在銀行做事;即使主播工作令很多人艷羨,但一路下來卻發現主播之路卻不是「自己杯茶」,唯有創業才能滿足自己的迷你倉尖沙咀奇心,故最終決定投身創業圈。尋找天使投資並非必須當下,9GAG已獲得20位天使投資者投資,但陳展程認為,在創業旅程中,尋找天使投資並非必須。他說:「我們原本沒有想過尋找天使投資者,但在9GAG成長過程中,卻發覺如果要做好網站內容,繼而將之做大,是需要一筆來自天使投資者穩住資金來源。為了省卻對資金的憂慮,最終決定尋找天使投資者入股。」記者近年參與不少創業研討會,發現每當知名天使投資人完成演講後,大批創業人會一擁而上與天使投資者打交道,為日後尋求資金鋪路。面對創業人尋求資金成風,陳展程認為,創業人決定是否尋求天使投資,很多程度取決於他們是否期望「做大盤生意」:「比如經營零售業,你期望將來只是經營區區一家士多,抑或擁有類似星巴克(Starbucks)或惠康超級市場的生意?如果是後兩者的話,你就需要一筆天使投資。」對於創業人工作不定時,陳展程亦有一番感受:「網站基本上是全年無休,假若網站在節日期間『出事』,即使假期過得如此暢快,亦要馬上回到公司維修網站,皆因網民不會容許網站有一刻停頓!」他說,在創業的日子�,他基本上沒有去過旅行,幾乎全部時間是放在公司業務之上。倉

□今年,mini storage廣州白雲機場新增13條國際航線,深圳機場旅客吞吐量千萬級別“三連跳” □揭陽潮汕機場今年新開12條航線,惠州、韶關、佛山等地支線機場建設穩步推進□今年,廣州白雲機場新增13條國際航線,深圳機場旅客吞吐量千萬級別“三連跳”□揭陽潮汕機場今年新開12條航線,惠州、韶關、佛山等地支線機場建設穩步推進“大潮汕地區需要一個立體快速交通體系,所以廈深鐵路來得太是時候了。”得知廈深鐵路今日通車,揭陽潮汕機場相關負責人表示,廈深鐵路的開通將與正在發展壯大中的揭陽潮汕機場形成良好的互補效應,“有了這條鐵路,我們機場的輻射範圍一下子就擴大了,可以源源不斷地把惠州、汕尾甚至福建詔安、雲霄等地的客流聚集過來,做大腹地。”過去一年中,我省各級機場的發展也呈現出了良好的勢頭,不僅白雲機場與深圳機場客流量大幅增長,落子粵東的揭陽潮汕機場也獲得了長足的進步,廣東的航空體系正在日臻完善,這不僅為當地經濟帶來了巨大的帶動,更擦亮了廣東的對外名片,使南粵大地與國內外的聯繫日趨緊密。○白雲機場旅客吞吐量穩居全國第二本月12日,搭乘南航廣州飛往溫哥華航班的Gasarch先生“驚喜”地成為白雲機場2013年第5000萬名在此乘機的旅客。不知不覺間,白雲機場進一步坐穩了全國第二航空樞紐的交椅,向國際級航空樞紐的目標又邁出了堅實的一步。“預計,我們的全年旅客吞吐量有望突破5200萬人次,在全國僅次于首都機場,而在全球的機場客流量排名中也能擠進前15位,這對於白雲機場來說絕對是發展過程中的一個里程碑。”白雲機場總經理張育民表示,一年來,白雲機場在全球航空市場低迷的環境中逆市上揚,尤其在國際市場開拓方面收穫不小,成為一大亮點。今年以來,白雲機場聯手南方航空共同深耕連接歐、亞、澳的“廣州之路”,加密了多條直飛歐洲和大洋洲的主力航線,其中廣州往返倫敦、廣州往返布里斯班的航班已雙雙加密到了每日始發一班。與此同時,白雲機場還在今年新開拓了13條國際航線,進一步豐富了航線網絡,形成了吸引國際旅客的強大力量。據預測,到2015年,白雲機場國際航線將可達到130條左右,有望與香港機場國際航線數持平。而剛剛完成轉場的深圳機場,也在今年完成了旅客吞吐量千萬級別的“三連跳”,收穫了超過3000萬人次旅客吞吐量。與此同時,深圳機場的年貨郵吞吐量也由最初的1.1萬噸上升到今年即將突破90萬噸,航空快件占比五成,接近發達國家快件占比的水平;飛機起降架次由1.6萬架次增加到超過25萬架次。廣深兩地機場的快速發展真可謂是提升珠三角城市群綜合實力,改善營商環境的一大利好。據介紹,隨著白雲機場72self storage時過境免簽等政策的落地,國際中轉旅客開始不斷增長,其中白雲機場的國際和地區旅客吞吐量在今年已達950萬人次左右,占比高達18.5%。深圳機場也表示,目前已開通航線169條,通達109個城市。不難看出,廣深兩地機場的國際範兒越來越濃,珠三角城市群的綜合競爭力也隨之扶搖而上。○揭陽潮汕機場每周計劃航班量增31.6% 在今年3月出台的《加快推進全省重要基礎設施建設工作方案(2013-2015年)》(下稱《方案》)中,構建全省航空網絡化格局的思維十分清楚,《方案》明確指出,在“十二五”的最後3年,我省將大力推進樞紐機場項目與支線機場項目的同步建設。如果說廣深兩地樞紐機場功能的強化將為珠三角地區帶來更大的輻射效應,而周邊支線機場的建設將在優化珠三角與粵東西北地區交通的同時,也為當地經濟帶來更強有力的支撐。我省將在“十二五”的最後3年,新開工惠州機場軍民合用改擴建、韶關機場軍民合用改造、佛山軍民合用機場改擴建等3個項目。開展湛江機場遷建前期工作。目前,這些工作都在穩步推進當中,記者日前從韶關方面瞭解到,韶關當地正在積極成立與省機場管理集團共同組成的韶關機場籌建工作領導小組。擺在這些支線機場面前的“標杆”便是此前落子粵東的揭陽潮汕機場。據悉,通航兩年來,揭陽潮汕機場發展形勢喜人。今年1—11月份,揭陽潮汕機場起降航班22203架次,同比增加27.1%,完成旅客吞吐量247.2萬人,同比增長29%,今年新開航線12條,增加通航城市7個,每周計劃航班總量達574班,同比增幅31.6%。目前,該機場每天通往北京、上海、廣州3大樞紐機場的航班量已達5至8班,通往成都、重慶、昆明、海口、武漢、鄭州等10個機場的航班量也達到了2至3個班次,與烏魯木齊、呼和浩特、沈陽、台灣台中和高雄等地都實現了直航,近20條航線由兩家或兩家以上航空公司共營。航線增多、航班加密以及充分的競爭,使得潮汕機場大部分航線機票價格步入平民化。今年潮汕機場旅客吞吐量可望接近270萬人次,同比增長約30%,潮汕機場正逐漸發展成為東南沿海的幹線機場。下一步,揭陽潮汕機場將利用僑鄉優勢,重點開通潮汕至東南亞國際航線,把潮汕機場建設成為我國進出東南亞的空中橋頭堡,吸引更多東南沿海城市外出乘客到潮汕機場乘機。“這對於其他支線機場都是一個經驗,利用好這一波廣東綜合交通體系發展的熱潮,打好自己的基礎設施的根基,才能進一步提升自己的區位競爭優勢。”有業內專家就表示,各級支線機場的建設與發展最終也將反作用于幹線機場,從而搭建起一個更加完善的廣東民航網絡。統籌:郭亦樂 謝思佳●南方日報記者 鐘嘯 鄧翔迷你倉

焦點故事:2013大事記
2013年地產大小事件中,self storage以法例相關新聞最具影響力,其震撼程度令業界老行尊都要上街遊行;新盤和居屋亦忽然興旺,前者仍然大把好戲,後者則明顯後勁不繼;今年亦有不少針對某些建築設計而產生的「代言人」及新代表湧現,更有數次發展商搵你笨事件,以及有發展商食檸檬「?爆」。記者:伍志輝1)萬元呎價的年代在1月1日開始,二手住宅一定要有實用面積資料,雖然地產代理監管局沒有指明代理要提供實用呎價,亦沒有規定實用面積在地產廣告上的位置,但一眾大小代理都煞有介事地以實用面積先行,住緊層樓忽然間「面積縮水」、「呎價大漲」,對小業主而言真不知是失落定驚喜。住宅面積有了比較統一的資訊,低實用住宅現形,萬元呎價更加俯拾皆是,大家齊齊學習適應,加上同樣於今年開始的一手新樓只可以提供實用面積資料,可能過多幾年,建築面積已經不再存在。2)一手銷售用新例於4月29日開始,一手住宅的銷售被納入全面規管的年代,開售前七日有樓書、三日前有價單,成為業界的口頭禪,其中元朗尚悅更成為新例實施後,首個因為「樓書找錯處」失手被擒而自我煞停銷售的一手新盤。至於普羅市民有何得�?可能是樓書重磅了,拿回家可以當凳仔坐,或者索性上網睇,減少紙張浪費(自行打印者另計)。其實,過往不少新樓盤都會將一些所謂「特色單位」的面積及平面圖列為「高度機密」,有幸得到都要用「獨家猛料」、「驚世曝光」去形容,現在一切都要公開,少了無謂的神秘感,多了一份資料可信性。3)瓏門II榮登票王一手新例實施後大約半年,各大小發展商開始適應新的遊戲規則,推盤步伐亦開始納入正軌,10月份新地(016)突然以大減價及補貼印花稅方式開售尖沙嘴天璽餘貨,成功「引出」市場購買力,勁收票逾2,000張,緊隨其後開售的同區The Austin,以相近手法成功獲得超過3,100張入票,但票王之位隨即由東涌昇薈的3,200餘票取代,短時間內再由灣仔囍匯2期以4,500票奪得,最後由屯門瓏門II以接近5,000票成功問鼎2013年新盤票王寶座。4)3D辣招嚇窒樓市新一輪遏抑樓市措施於2月23日開始實行,並推出有關印花稅的第三項針對性措施,有樓人士、公司客、非港人及非住宅物業買家,購入物業時都要繳付雙倍印花稅。這個簡稱為DSD的稅項,跟去年10月27日實施的買家印花稅(BSD)及加強版額外印花稅(SSD),剛好湊成3D辣招震撼,再加上加強版銀行按揭壓力測試和收緊工商物業按揭成數,二手住宅交投進一步銳減,工商舖市場氣氛亦極速插水。但3D震撼仍然不能改變「樓價超貴」的事實,最大副作用就是令到一群靠賣樓搵食的地產代理及地產相關行業的打工仔,跑上街示威而已。5)施永青吹雞上街樓市辣招的最大作用是打擊購買力,適逢一手新例實施初期,可售新盤大減,市場成交嚴重萎縮,地產代理及地產相關行業生計大受打擊,連自言「從未上街表達意見」的中原集團創辦人施永青,都要號召地產代理於6月13日到立法會門外請願及遞交請願信。施永青指,「用措施試圖解決早年政府房屋施政失效係唔公平!」「我�要出聲,唔可以當我�冇到!」其後7月7日更出現2.3萬人上街遊行高呼「切除辣招」,今次代理上街事件,可謂「老施都有火」,不過,政府的強硬立場依然不變,而臨近年尾,一眾新盤蜂擁而出,忙於搶客的代理們彷彿將上街一事拋諸腦後了。6)富豪輪隊等買樓尖沙嘴天璽以提供樓價最多14%優惠,以及回贈70%BSD及DSD方式,引來大批千萬富豪如「羅湖過關」般在尖沙嘴環球貿易廣場售樓處輪隊等買樓,齊齊迷你倉驗地獄式買樓滋味,當日很多富豪買家表示,到場登記認購的人多到「恐怖」,由排隊至完成登記,未計揀樓已花四至五小時。天璽單位最平亦要過千萬元,買家非富則貴,當日那條「人形蛇餅」絕對堪稱史上最高身價,撞口撞面不是代理就是有錢佬,不知某些社團有否落力「點相」呢?7)星光熠熠耀囍�在11月份發售的灣仔囍�2期,堪稱今年新盤中最星光熠熠的一個,買家名單中包括久休復出的資深投資者「美容天后」鄭明明、「炒樓大王」陳欽杰、「洋參大王」楊永仁等,影視界更加落力捧場,單計在本報出現過的名字就有吳美玲、蔡一智、陳果、黃德如、蔡少芬、王馨平等,其他不同界別名人買家還有歌手陳慧琳父親陳崇偉、皮膚科專科醫生史泰祖、信置前售樓部高層劉貴玉、置地住宅物業香港區主管黎漢群、蔣氏家族成員蔣麗萍等。8)市建局成奇則王新盤那個存在好一段時間、必須分開興建的露台及工作平台,今年不斷見報,而每次都是跟市建局重建項目有關,如灣仔囍匯2期及觀塘觀月.樺�。如果要為這個近年落成新盤必備間隔,找個最具代表性的發展商,相信市建局一定無出其右,再加上那些翻炒幾十年來時有出現的「一層十多伙」設計,市建局作為新任奇則代言人應該十拿九穩。9)大窗台有新代表從前想起大窗台,通常會聯想到華懋樓,今年可能加入新競爭者,房協以「長幼共融」推銷的筲箕灣樂融軒,被發現示範單位睡房窗台面積相當於一張單人床,長幼兩代同時躺在窗台上,絕對不是問題。在一手新例下,新樓盤實用面積不包括窗台面積,窗台再大,好像都不是花錢買回來似的。然而,發展商為樓盤定價,單位面積並非唯一計算標準,興建公共空間及窗台等的建築成本,發展商不可能白花,一定會被攤分融入樓價之中。10)長實連環搵你笨發展商被抨擊為地產霸權,事件由來可謂冰封三尺。事實上,每年都可以找到一些發展商「擺明搵你笨」的大小事。長實(001)2月18日突然拆售葵涌雍澄軒酒店,兩日沽清。其後證監指有關行動為非法集體投資,勒令長實要在6月份買賣交易死線前取消交易,否則將向法庭入稟叫停。長實結果單方面取消交易,只肯退回定金及交易使費,被指沒有按合約精神彌補買方之損失,擺明「大石責死蟹」。另一件搵笨事件的主角無獨有偶亦是長實,今年初交樓的九龍塘�堡,被發現頂層複式附連無圍欄的「�你命」天台,根本不能使用,但單位業主將來卻要承擔其維修的責任。有業主向長實追究時,竟獲回覆天台是沒有計算價值出售。11)四叔捐地食檸檬本港另一大型發展商�地(012),主席「四叔」李兆基今年初打算捐出農地興建100萬元平價樓助年輕人上車,被政府請食檸檬,年中四叔再接再厲,打算跟房協合作在元朗馬田壆興建上車盤,年底前又宣佈向博愛醫院捐出屯門藍地福亨村地皮興建安老院,雖然次次都被外界指「捐地有陰謀」,四叔卻依然故我,計劃一大堆。12)白表客短暫亢奮俗稱白居二的白表免補地價購買第二市場居屋計劃,其首批中籤申請者,今年中投入市場,全港居屋樓價被極速帶動升至歷史高𥧌水位,惟短暫亢奮無法持久,數個月間白居二熱潮急速冷卻,不少居屋樓價幾乎打回原形,下調至今年中升價之前水位,對普羅居屋業主及部份高價入市的買家而言,高𥧌樓價彷彿南柯一夢,而明年初揀樓的第二批白居二,心情就更加忐忑。13)億元豪宅變凶宅近年最震撼的命案,發生在賭王四太投資收租的尖沙嘴君臨天下3座複式,3月份發生女子斬死同居男友再跳樓身亡慘劇,這個市值逾億元的單位,據聞已辦妥法事,並完成翻新,以高於原租約的租金水平放租。迷你倉西貢

新加坡
A year of anxiety and compassion in 2013 may need to give way to a year when Singapore talks about shared values and principles.mini storageFOR many Singaporeans, 2013 has been a year of emotions.There was compassion and relief associated with the shifts in social policy on education, health care and housing.But there was also anger, anxiety and disappointment associated with the population debate.The strong reactions to the Population White Paper released at the start of the year influenced subsequent discussions on all issues related to housing, transport and employment.The year closes with the shocking riot at Little India, which triggered emotions ranging from discomfort to fear.Perhaps it is the power of the negative and its contagion - it appears that negative emotions, rather than positive ones, have dominated much of 2013. But the negative emotions have also yielded some good. It is useful to reflect on some positive outcomes that resulted from the negative emotions and contemplate how we can move forward as a country.Negative emotions, positive outcomesSTUDIES have shown that negative emotion can impede good judgment but it can also lead to positive outcomes. The narrative that emotion is a beast to be tamed by rationality is scientifically inaccurate and politically self-defeating.Emotions are not just natural consequences of events or instinctive reactions to them.People experience negative emotions when the progress towards their goals is being obstructed, or when they think their important concerns have been trivialised. Conversely, people experience positive emotions when they are making progress towards their goals, or when what they consider important is given high priority.This means emotions can be effective signals and springboards to help policymakers diagnose problems and formulate solutions. To do this, one needs to understand and address emotions by linking them to the concerns, aspirations and goals in various segments of the population.For example, the strong negative emotions experienced and expressed in the population debate have surfaced many deeper issues concerning sustainable economic models, urban planning, manpower management, fair employment practices, social mobility and social cohesion.As a result, it has become clearer that policies must not be formulated narrowly as singular solutions to isolated problems. This is especially when problems are inter-related and a narrow solution to a problem may create more serious problems and unintended negative consequences.Systems thinking and strategic-futures thinking are needed to formulate and implement integrated policies - policies that address multiple goals in a complementary manner and anticipate alternative scenarios.So, in retrospect, 2013 may be characterised as a good year of emotions for Singapore despite the dominance of negative emotions. This is because critical issues that used to be latent were made explicit in public debates and policy discussions.Some may describe the often-contentious discourse as a wake- up call or political crisis.But I see it as an opportunity to understand the various economic-social linkages and develop constructive responses to them.Emotion can yield positive outcomes but it cannot be the foundation of a society's future. For society to progress, we need to address public emotions in context. This context is provided by values regarding what is important, and principles for guiding actions.To translate affect into action, there needs to be some consensus on what is important to be actualised and how to do so. As a country, we need shared values and guiding principles to evaluate policy and public actions.Shared valuesWHAT might be some values that we are likely to achieve consensus on and perhaps deserve more public discussion in the year ahead? I suggest three values - integrity, fairness and social harmony.Integrity requires individuals and groups - be they in public, private or people sectors - to be impartial and non-corrupt. This often refers to personal character but it also involves how breaches of integrity are handled.Wrongdoing must be reported and pursued, regardless of the position of the individuals involved or the political or public embarrassment that may result.Public agencies must remain impartial - both actual and perceived - when carrying out their functions. Public trust in the integrity of public instself storagetutions is critical when dealing with contentious issues in an environment of increasing political contestation.People are sensitive to fairness in the distribution of outcomes and fairness in the processes leading to those outcomes. Fairness is also critical in the treatment of the individual, whether it is in the rewards given or help offered.How we evaluate and therefore treat an individual should be based on two considerations. The first is the objective evidence of the individual's performance. The second is the individual's access to opportunities to perform.Taken together, these multiple dimensions of fairness - outcomes, processes, performance and access to opportunities - provide a more holistic value-basis for actions to address issues of employment discrimination, development of local talent, social inequality, social mobility and compassionate meritocracy.Social harmony should underline Singapore's efforts to address challenges of social cohesion and manage social integration. Social harmony is consistent with good interpersonal and inter-group relations, and ultimately individual well-being. Social harmony is not just merely a practical means to achieve political stability and economic prosperity. It is a desirable end in itself.When social harmony is a shared value for individuals, groups and society, there is a common basis to discuss and negotiate issues of individualism versus collectivism, inter-group competition versus cooperation, and sectorial versus national interests.Guiding principlesVALUES are convictions of what is important and beliefs of what ought to be. But how do we translate these abstract statements of convictions and beliefs into policy and public actions? I suggest we organise and direct our translation efforts around three guiding principles - rule of law, accountability and "people-centricity".The rule of law translates values to actions in two ways.First, the rule of law directly upholds the values of integrity, fairness and social harmony by maintaining law and order.This is done by having the law define offences and prescribe deterrence for issues relating to corruption, partiality, discrimination and violence.Second, the rule of law provides a principled and objective basis for decision making, especially in areas where personal bias and vested interests may influence the management of disagreements and resolution of conflicts. The content of laws may evolve over time. But as a principle, the rule of law must be maintained, without fear or favour.Accountability has a legal or regulatory basis but it also has moral dimensions. Unlike responsibility, accounta- bility cannot be shared with or delegated to others. Accountability is about being ultimately answerable for actions and outcomes.As elected representatives and stewards of public funds, the Government is expected to be accountable to the people but accountability also applies to financial institutions and non-profit organisations.Accountability is applicable to all people. For example, freedom of speech and individual discretion should be accompanied by personal accountability of what is said and done.When individuals and organisations are accountable for their actions and results, it helps preserve the values of integrity, fairness and social harmony.The third principle is people-centricity. This involves a focus on citizen well-being, human dignity and respect for diversity across individuals. In policymaking, this means serving the interests of citizens and effectively enhancing their well-being.People-centricity also means treating all people with the dignity and respect they deserve, regardless of their nationality or differences in background. In this regard, there is a need to improve the treatment of low-skilled foreign workers in Singapore in the areas of workplace safety, living conditions, salary payment and provision of social amenities.As the year of emotions comes to a close, I wish 2014 will turn out to be the year of values and principles. It is probably idealistic to expect our society to achieve consensus in public values and principles in a year. But much common good can be achieved if we focus more on issues of shared values and guiding principles.stopinion@sph.com.sgThe writer is director of the Behavioural Sciences Institute, Lee Kuan Yew Fellow and Professor of Psychology at the Singapore Management University.迷你倉

《世.界.之.窗》低頭看手機真的不好嗎? IS LOOKING DOWN AT YOUR CELLPHONE REALLY A BAD THING
